Urgent Vacancy For Men of The Future - Part 6

... A CLARION CALL TO PREPARE FOR THE BIRTHDAY OF OUR SOULS

Dearly Beloved,

[

As productive and captivating as products and services has been to us in this generation, and as exciting as the act and art of buying and selling could ever be, it is of no personal value to the devil and his cohorts – despite their fallen state! They only seek to use all such legalities to enslave men (1Cor. 12:2/Rev. 18:10-13) who are meant to be guided by Apostle Paul’s counsel in 1Cor. 7:29.

·         1Cor. 7:29 But this I say, brethren, the time is short: it remaineth, that both they that have wives be as though they had none; 7:30 And they that weep, as though they wept not; and they that rejoice, as though they rejoiced not; and they that buy, as though they possessed not; 7:31 And they that use this world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of this world passeth away.

The greatest concern of our corporate enemy is that a company of New Testament Kings would soon arise on the earth – men that would journey into fullness of spiritual understanding of what was been concealed with great wisdom (Prov. 25:2/Eph. 3:3-6/9). When (not if) they do, God’s throne would join them in celebrating the birthday (rebirth) of their souls as they come into the age of responsibility – to end the reign of sin and death (Heb. 7:25/Rev. 12:8-11)

Inventions that drive economies today are like toys before the devil. Our Lord Jesus wasn’t praising him while he declared him as “the prince of this world” (Jn. 14:30). He was simply telling born and unborn generations that;

-       The principles running the earth is that of a rebel holder and what gave room for the reign of such is that men continually love an inferior light (darkness) rather than the true light (Gen. 6:3-6/Jn. 3:19/Jn. 1:9/1Jn. 2:8).

-       The enemy of God is a worldly system that has been befriended by most men, and this has limited men from loving precious things that can’t find a physical expression in time, i.e. precious things that have been hid in God, and only accessible by revelation. (Eph. 3:3-5)

-       To overcome the wisdom of this world, you must be a prince of another world-to-come, which he came to unveil by his walk, so men can walk likewise (Rom. 10:15/ph. 6:15/1Jn. 2:6)

He came to man as the serpent, deceived Eve and then reached out to Adam’s secret desire to have an adventure with the world (1Tim. 2:14). He then went for Adam’s descendants, got some to despise God’s Civilization of Faith, he fed fat on men’s ignorance and wickedness for centuries until he stole the title deed of the earth and mounted “the air” as a dragon and later the great red dragon (Gen. 6:3-6/Eph. 2:2b/Rev. 12:3). Our corporate assignment is to unseat him from his throne and the stature required to do so is acquired as we are reconciled with his laws of Faith (living) and Love (abiding). (2Cor. 5:18/1Pet. 1:23)

·         2Cor. 5:18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation.

-       Simply put, we experienced reconciliation or peace with God in our human spirit (not our souls) at New birth because of what Jesus did and we accepted as a gift of righteousness.

·         Jam. 1:17 Every good gift (the light of His Faith) and every perfect gift (the light of His Love) is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. 1:18 Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should (future tense) be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.

-       Simply put, we must learn the light of the Faith of the Son over some decades so we ultimately fellowship with the light of the Love of God. These provisions would cause our souls to be Christ-like in nature and bring it into the same quickened experience/state that our spirit attained at new birth (Eph. 2:1a/Rom. 5:1-5/1Pet. 1:9/1:22-23/James 1:18)

God has called every genuine follower of Christ to the same herculean task of overcoming His enemy like His Son, the early apostles and few rarely known saints have done till date. We simply need to trust Christ to be in us, what he requires of us! Christ must be in us wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption, for the rebirth of our souls. (1Cor. 1:30)

#True_Change_Is_Imminent – Part 3

... AN APPRAISAL ON WHY OUR DEFINITIONS MUST CHANGE SO WE CAN BECOME STAKEHOLDERS OF GOD'S PEACE

Dearly Beloved,

Over the years, I have come to agree with the Lord that A FREE MAN IS SOMEONE TO WHOM IT HAS BECOME CRYSTAL CLEAR THAT HIS LIFE AND PEACE SHOULD NOT BE DEFINED OR REGULATED BY EXCITING HAPPENINGS OR DISAPPOINTMENTS THAT RESIDES UNDER THE SUN. (Rom. 8:6/Mal. 2:5/Eccl. 1:8-9)

SO BLESSED IS THE MAN WHOSE CHIEF ASSET IS A FREEDOM THAT IS BORN FROM ABOVE BY TRUTH (Jn. 3:31/8:32), WHOSE DEFINITIONS OF GOD’S GOODNESS AND FAITHFULNESS RUNS CONTRARY TO THAT OF MANY OTHER BELIEVERS OR CARNAL MINDS. Such a believer would gradually experience the IVORY PALACES IN CHRIST JESUS (Ps. 45:7-8/Eph. 1:3) where he would naturally LIVE BY FAITH (1Pet. 1:23/Heb. 10:38). Ultimately, he would experience GOD’S ETERNAL DWELLING PLACE (Ps. 90:1) where he would naturally ABIDE IN LOVE (1Pet. 1:23/1Jn. 2:10/14/17/3:6)

1Pet. 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible (seed/word), by the word of God (two edged – Heb. 4:12), which liveth (faith) and abideth (love) forever.

True freedom has a synonym called the peace of God and it can become the inheritance of those who choose to despise (hate) the peace being offered by the world (Jn. 14:27/12:25). By default, our natural well educated mind is a friend of this world and at enmity with God (Job. 22:21-23/Rom. 8:7/Jam. 4:4), and as such it can’t understand the subtlety of the peace being offered by the world. So our judgement (ways/thoughts) has to be overhauled/changed.

God’s provision to address this enmity (obstacle) is the provision of His Faith - the faith of the new creature; the faith of the world to come. As we learn of him and walk in him (Matt. 11:29/Col. 2:6), we would come into many justifications of the Spirit like the Lord did (Matt. 3:17/17:5) and become SHAREHOLDERS OF GOD’S PEACE. We would unlearn sin and receive the prescription of change that Jesus gave in 2Cor. 3:18. Like it is with our recreated human spirit, our souls would also come to a place where it can witness to the fact that “WE ARE THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD”. (2Cor. 5:21)

·         2Cor. 3:18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

·         2Cor. 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made (a future tense/expectation) the righteousness of God in him

So, a very crucial activity that is currently going on is that of God raising men that would be made free enough to disobey Satan and all that he represents! Like our Lord Jesus and his apostles, these communities of saints would be empowered by the gospel of God (Rom. 1:1/1:16) to disown every pseudo peace that the world offers men at a hidden cost (Jn. 14:27/Matt. 16:26). Their material comfort (which can be a form of pseudo peace) would not be esteemed at the expense of walking in love toward the saints (Eph. 1:15c/Gal. 6:2/6:10/1Pet. 1:22/2Cor. 8:2)

Our first or second degrees (which doesn’t give us an edge over God’s enemies) cost us some discipline and qualitative investment of time and resources. So it is with the profession of faith (1Tim. 6:12/Heb. 3:1). Hearing the tutorials of God’s righteousness and mixing it with unfeigned faith in our hearts should cost us much more (Rom. 1:16/10:17/Heb. 4:2). Through this shortcut, the definition of the Christian faith as a religion would be expired in us and we would give this generation the right interpretation of the Christian faith as a lifestyle of adventuring truth.

Our generation must seek God for God, not just for things that perish with the use! We must not hold back from seeking the Lord with all our hearts, soul, strength and mind. As we do, Christ Jesus as the prince of peace would come and indwell our hearts by His Faith (Eph. 3:17/Jn. 14:21), and would tarry in us until he finds our hearts comfortable enough for him to beacon to the father to join him (i.e. “relocate” from heaven) so they can both indwell us together (2Cor. 6:16/Isa. 66:1-2/Jn. 14:23/Rev. 21:3).

This is how we would hasten the timeframe in which the enemies of the true church would be judged (Rev. 6:14/12:9/Ps. 110:1), so that this age can to be shut down and the world to come unveiled, Amen. (Heb. 1:10-12/2Pet. 3:13/Rev. 21:1-2)

#True_Change_Is_Imminent - Part 2

Beloved of God,

Man has been subject to the bondage of corruption (disobedience) and his greatest genuine need is to be free to serve God and give an interpretation to his will (Lk. 1:74/1Jn. 1:2)! The enemy knows this quite well so he has crafted ways of seeking freedom that seems right to men and to nations but would enable him accuse them before God and also limit them with an independent spirit. We are therefore at the mercy of seeking freedom in God’s way, with God’s resources, and at God’s time.

·         Lk. 1:74-75 That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies (Ps. 110:1/Eph. 6:12) might serve him without fear, In Holiness and Righteousness before him, all the days of our life.

·         Heb. 12:28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, Let Us Have Grace, whereby we may SERVE GOD ACCEPTABLY with Reverence and Godly Fear:

A lot has been done by man’s corporate enemy against the continuous coming of believers to the knowledge of truth (Heb. 11:6/Jn. 8:31-32/1Tim. 2:4), and it will take Ministers of God’s Righteousness and Preachers of the GOSPEL OF GOD (Rom. 1:1), which became the GOSPEL OF CHRIST (Rom. 1:16) and subsequently the GOSPEL OF PAUL (Rom. 2:16/16:25a); to destroy the works of the enemy in the hearts of carnal believers (1Jn. 3:8). LIKE NOAH KEPT PREACHING RIGHTEOUSNESS FOR OVER A CENTURY, THESE CROP OF MINISTERS OF THE SPIRIT (2Cor. 3:8) WILL CONSISTENTLY ADMINISTER GOD’S RIGHTEOUSNESS AND THEREBY UNVEIL GOD’S FAITH UNTIL THE FAITH (OF CHRIST) BECOMES THE FAITH THAT EACH BELIEVER LIVES BY (Gal. 2:20) AND THE FRUIT OF THIS EXPLOIT WOULD BE THE WORLD BEING OVERTHROWN IN THEM AND THROUGH THEM! (Isa. 61:6/Rom. 1:17/Phil. 3:8-9/1Jn. 5:4)

·         Rom. 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth (i.e. to save the souls of believers – 1Pet. 1:9/22-23); to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. 1:17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from (one lesson/dealing of) faith to (another lesson/dealing of) faith: as it is written, The just shall LIVE by (Christ’s) FAITH.

Men have submitted to the demands of earning a master’s degree for example, because they can see and calculate the reward for doing so, but many believers cannot discern the reward of seeking to be free enough to serve God acceptably. The first challenge that God seekers face is that of their inability to rightly appraise their true identity or their expected end (Col. 1:27b/Jer. 29:11). So preachers are meant to skillfully paint the picture of how God’s Grace (i.e. Christ/the wilderness) is meant to process and set them free so they can access their expected end – God’s Glory (i.e. the father/the promised land). Pls see Jn. 1:14/Ps. 84:11/Rom. 5:2/1Cor. 2:7c

Through the systems of this world, the enemy has embossed a philosophy in not a few men, that says, “MAN’S IDENTITY IS IN WHAT HE DOES, IN HIS STATUS OR IN HIS ABILITY TO ACQUIRE THINGS ABUNDANTLY” (Lk. 12:15), but God continues to say, that “MAN’S IDENTITY IS IN WHO HE HAS CALLED HIM TO BE, BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD! (Matt. 13:35/Eph. 1:4). The preaching the kind of faith that overcomes the world can therefore not be overemphasized!

The identity of our Lord Jesus, while he was a carpenter for over a decade was simply a part of process designed humble him and also “hide him” among men for years. God was simply using that profession as one of the weak arrangements of the earth so he would later confound the world. Abraham’s true identity for 25 years wasn’t in his being “fatherless”; neither was Sarah’s identity in being barren before the eyes of natural men. Joseph’s true identity wasn’t in being a prisoner. Those were the paths and processes they all had to take, to save themselves and those that were tied to their loins (1Tim. 4:16d); so they could all become whom God had called them to be and partake of God’s Holiness (Heb. 11:16c /12:9-10)

Going forward, a genuine wind of change that’s governed by the Gospel of Christ (God’s Power) would be visiting the church (saints) like never before. Men would be walking out of their graveyards (Egypt/worldliness) and from lawful captivities because the trumpet of the voice of the Son of God would give a distinct sound and would be received by willing hearts. We must not resist it because of our self-interest; so we won’t be left on the wrong side of the divide, this year and beyond, Amen.

Dearly Beloved,

We give thanks to the Father of Mercies who in His infinite wisdom answered some unuttered prayers in 2015, but more interestingly, hasn’t answered some of our prayers in the interest of our eternal salvation.

For many of us, 2015 was a year of being prepared and furnished with the glad tidings of the gospel of Christ. Like Esther, many have been undergoing preparations in seasons that should cause our fruitfulness in 2016 to be superior to what became tangible to us in the entire first half of this decade! This year promises to be an unusual year wherein we would further war in Righteousness with known and unknown enemies within (Jam. 4:1-10/Isa. 32:17/Rom. 7:18-24), so we can experience greater tangibilities of Peace and Joy and bring forth 30, 60 and ultimately a 100 fold hundredfold measure of fruitfulness. Amen!

The Father of Glory authorized new seasons in 2015 that revealed His Son like never before, and this was accompanied by unprecedented distractions. 2016 would therefore be delivering riches of spiritual understanding to us that would enable us acknowledge these personalities of truth like never before (Col. 2:2/1Jn. 5:20) and would also be accompanied with distractions that should be unworthy of our attention! Great seasons of the Spirit has been calibrated into 2016 calendar year, such that promises to bring forth new experiences in the waters of truth and inch some closer to the fullness of God.

I am persuaded that God would be bringing forth new interpretations of the Faith of His Son (i.e. of God’s elect – Titus 1:1/2Pet. 1:1) and many believing believers would be eating with their ears (Isa. 55:2c/Rom. 10:17) until they see more into the many-sidedness of God's sayings/wisdom (Hab. 2:1/Lk. 24:44-45/Eph. 3:9) and overcome accordingly.

The Lord Jesus has been intensifying his work amidst in his frail church and it has become increasingly difficult to reconcile some believers with their past personality. But more importantly, in the years ahead, it would be very difficult to reconcile the newness of life in them with even their present state of soul (Rom. 6:4/7:6/Eph. 4:23-24). 

The ministry of change (God’s Face) being supervised by His Spirit would be assuming a new dimension and no one must be left out (2Cor. 3:18/4:6). #True_Change_Is_Imminent!

LET US REMAIN WATCHFUL, QUICKEN OUR PACE AND HAVE A LIVELY NEW YEAR!

Your Delighted Brother & Servant,

THE BEAUTY OF NOT KNOWING 'WHAT NEXT?' - PART 3

(A Biblical Perspective On "How To Allow God Mind His Own Business")

Dearly Beloved,

Whenever you have the privilege of comforting a believer who is encumbered with the disquieting, distracting, distrustful cares of this present life, simply ask two golden questions, “COULD YOU BE MORE CONCERNED THAN GOD IS ABOUT YOUR FUTURE”? HAVE YOU BEEN SEEKING TO ACCOMMODATE GOD'S NEED FOR REST, WHICH STARTS BY LEARNING WHAT THE FATHER TAUGHT THE SON OVER A SPACE OF THREE DECADES”? Their response(s) would amaze you!

Matthew 11:28-29 Come unto me, ALL YE THAT LABOUR AND ARE HEAVY LADEN, and I will give you rest (the first rest - the Son).  Take MY YOKE (the Lord’s daily revealed word) upon you, and LEARN OF ME; for I AM MEEK and LOWLY IN HEART: and ye shall find REST UNTO YOUR SOULS (the ultimate rest - the father).

                                                                                  

Adam didn't ask God for a wife, a job or a home in Eden. That was God’s business and he lived up to it! Joseph didn't pray to be the prime minister of Egypt. He found grace to cooperate with heaven by enriching his resume with “the pit” and “the prison” experiences, and he did so NOT KNOWING WHAT NEXT. To survive the harsh conditions of the wilderness, the children of Israel direly needed the pillar of fire by night and the pillar of cloud by day, but never prayed before it was supplied. ALL WE EVER WOULD NEED HAVE BEEN PROVIDED FOR, SO ONE OF THE PRIMARY PURPOSE OF PRAYERS IS TO HELP OUR INDEPENDENCE-SEEKING NATURE AND ALSO ENHANCE OUR DEPENDENCE ON GOD.

In the same vein, God didn't wait for us to toil or “pray-through” before providing great necessities like oxygen, appetite for food, sun light which we forget to thank him for! If only we can respect God's sovereignty and desire to pay the price for a supernatural walk; like the lilies of the field who are better clothed than Solomon was (Matt. 6:28-29), we also would find ourselves sincerely trusting God when we seem not to trace him (Job 13:15) and would divest vast energies of our soul perhaps 300 degrees aright.

The Lord was the main character in the parable of the lost coin, lost sheep and the perishing son. He has purposed to keep something of inestimable valuable (truth) in man’s soul, and afterwards, doesn’t want to lose it! When such is lost and found, He is the main character that rejoices, and He doesn’t rejoice alone (Lk. 15:4-32). Beyond the MONETARY VALUE we focus on when we experience losses, the Lord expects us to be more concerned about the LOSS OF LIFE that always accompanies it. For every loss of time, money, resources, and on every occasion when veer off course with known and unknown truths, the enemy gains, and God is the stakeholder with the greatest loss. WHEN WOULD GOD BE THE MAIN CHARACTER AND MOST PROFITABLE SHAREHOLDER IN OUR LIVES?

As we subscribe to, and appreciate in this understanding;

·         Our gatherings unto the Lord would be with righteous expectations that heaven can't discountenance. 

·        We would find ourselves re-channeling a significant amount of our soul energies off initiatives that simply prove we either don’t hate this world or understand what it means to, and would receive the capacity to SEEK TRUTH - AS WE OUGHT.

·         We would gradually and ultimately find ourselves addressing our indebtedness of love to born and unborn generations. (Rom. 1:14/13:8/1Cor. 9:22)

·        WE WOULD ALSO FIND OURSELVES MINDING OUR OWN BUSINESS AND GIVING ROOM FOR GOD TO MIND HIS (MATT. 6:33/1Pet. 5:10)

Matt. 6:33 But seek ye first The Kingdom Of God, and His Righteousness; and All These Things (food, clothing, shelter etc.) shall be added unto you

1Pet. 5:10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have Suffered A While (i.e. borne your cross – Lk. 9:23-25), make you Perfect, Stablish, Strengthen, Settle You

THE BEAUTY OF NOT KNOWING 'WHAT NEXT?' - PART 2

Dearly Beloved,

Have you ever seen someone tenaciously looking for what actually was not lost, or someone trying to keep what really isn't his? Have you ever seen folks emptying today of its strength while trying to solve tomorrow's problem? Have you ever seen believers react to a seemingly "legitimate need" like Saul did, and thereafter lost his kingdom? Have you ever wondered why after over 6000 years, the church is yet to produce a critical mass of 144,000 believers that'll simultaneously overcome fear like our Lord Jesus and His the early apostles did?

Heb. 2:14-15 ... that through death he (Jesus) might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

(i.e. fear of death here isn’t physical but the fear of not obeying/loving/enjoying the world – Heb. 11:24)

Heb. 11:24-26 By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter; Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin (Egypt) for a season; Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt

The fear of tomorrow lingered in the life of Abham until he began to walk in the consciousness of his changed name/identify - Abraham. Fear is an unarmed robber that daily preys on any believer that hasn’t begun to hear what Jesus heard from the father in the days of his flesh.

Fear was the first and only pseudo "gospel" that the serpent preached to Adam in Eden. The fear of losing what should never have been a possession caused Adam to trade his birthright and mortgage that of posterity. Fear is the reaction of any soul, at any given time "T", to any given opportunity where God expects us to lay down our corrupt-prone life (desires/love), and sheepishly follow God until our souls lay hold of resurrection power.

Most of the thoughts or counsels we react to, hardly ever emanate from the Holy Spirit,  through our regenerated spirit! Our recreated spirit that’s seated with Christ in heavenly places will never inspire us to "use our brain" or "think big" in taking decision that borders on our destiny in God. Most of such philosophies that motivate believers are worldly and sensual (Col. 2:8/Jam. 3:15). When a believer feeds on such wind of doctrines that emanates from Grecian wisdom, they become dull of hearing the very truth that should reveal Christ unto them (1Cor. 1:22b/Matt. 13:15/Heb. 5:11). All of such "brain waves" can never close the gap between God and man!

1 Cor. 2:11 For what man knows the things of a man (his inheritance/things of God’s Glory –vs. 7), save the spirit of man (not the mind) which is in him? even so the things of God knows no man, but the Spirit of God.

Most of the thoughts or counsels we don't respond to, are such that demand we wait without necessarily knowing when God will show up! That is God’s technology that should make men to lose measurements of the nature we inherited from Adam, so men can gradually inherit their true life (eternal life) which has been hid in Christ Jesus! Otherwise, we’ll fall prey to the dictates of an independent spirit and lose life.

History, our Lord Jesus, and even the devil, all confirm that "we have control over our choices (decisions and indecision), but we don't have control over the consequences of our choices, which will always affect posterity either positively or negatively. 

The biblical provision to overcome the fear of tomorrow is not the faith that gave birth to the good reports of Heb. 11:1-39b. Rather, it's the faith of Heb. 11:39c/Titus 1:2 that was authored and perfected through the victorious walk of our Lord Jesus. 

Not a few believers over generations have “gone to heaven” without overcoming the fear of death, but a generation that will “make it to the father” are currently being born anew (Jn. 13:3/14:3/1Pet. 1:23/Jam. 1:21). God NEVER approved of the former, but of the latter. It’s our lot – let’s selflessly embrace it!

Blessings!
