The Authoring of An 'Unfinished Faith' - Part 16

Dearly Beloved,

It took a power to build men over ages into being sufficient without God and it takes a superior power to make Believers Made Disciples to become insufficient of themselves as the early apostles were, having no confidence in themselves or ‘in the flesh’ but in God alone. (a)

It took a power to train men to have a bias for other tongues, tribes and kindred and it would take a superior power to train men not be a respecter of persons because ‘in Christ Jesus, there is neither male nor female, bond nor free’. (b)

It took a power to subtly drive The Laws of Sin and Death into the Souls of Men and it would take another power replace those Laws with The Laws of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus. (c)

It took a power to groom Carnal Minds which is enmity with God because it can never be subject to The Laws of God and it would take a superior power to wean minds from various carnal affections and make such Spiritually Inclined. (d)

It took a power to Train men to Love The World (The Lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh and the pride of Life) and it would take a superior power to dethrone these ‘Cancers of The Soul’ so that the journey to Love the Father (Loving Righteousness/Eternal Things like Jesus did) can begin. (e)

It took a power for men to depreciate in the Spiritual Life that once caused Eden to be a base for God on earth and it would take another power for the hearts of men to become a ‘house for God’ and for creation to be redeemed from Spiritual Death that introduced corruption that works via lust (f)

It took a power to school men’s souls to bear The Image of The Earthly and it would take a superior power to school men to discern and gradually embrace The Image of The Heavenly. (g)

It took a power from The King of Tyrus (Satan) to prepare and feast The Prince of Tyrus to a degree where he was christened 'Wiser than Daniel' because of the wisdom/secrets that Satan availed him of and it would take a superior power to prepare and feast the saints with the hidden secrets of The Wisdom of Christ that would enable such to become wiser than The Rulers of this world. (h)

It took a power from Satan to weaken nations (souls) to a place where men became lovers of self/pleasures more than lovers of God, covenant breakers, unthankful and unholy, and it would take a superior power from God through a higher Spiritual Meal than that of Faith Towards God/Faith in The Lord Jesus to administer strength to such weakened souls i.e. The Faith of The Son. (i)

It took a power from a High Wisdom (though fallen) to design mind appealing philosophies, to institutionalize the rudiments of this world, promote the traditions of men, package cares that choke/make the word of non effect and to craft high things that exalt themselves against Knowing God so that believer would remain in the terrain of Believing in God, so it would take a superior power to purge souls that once had an intimate relationship with any one of these wiles of Satan. (j)

It took a power to position darkness as a kind of light before men and it would take a superior kind of power for the true light of the Glorious Gospel to break veils that were carefully laid over decades upon the souls of Christians before and many times, after Christ is enthroned as Lord over their Human Spirit (not their Souls which only takes by The Faith to Faith Walk). (k)
 
It took a power to graduate men in various degrees of 'The blindness of The heart' that doesn’t limit Outward Prosperity in many cases and it would take a superior Power to Enlighten The Eyes of The Heart in various degrees of Inward Prosperity, i.e. The Prosperity of the Soul. (l)

It took a power to make men Servants of Sin and it would take a superior power to make men Servants of Righteousness/True Worshippers. (m)

It took a power to seduce Adam and even anointed ministers till date to eat of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil wherein dwells the Lust of The Eyes, The Pride of Life and The Lust of The Flesh (The World) and it would take a superior power to purge the imprint of that 'initial romance' and prepare such for an Entrance into the Kingdom (REST) where saints are meant to partake of the Tree of Life (The Faith of The Son), the primary Deliverance Package for the Soul that ‘ministers that specialize in deliverance’ (if there is anything like that in the New Testament) needs to FEED THE FLOCK of CHRIST so that they can Grow in Grace and then Grow Above Earthly Problems (n)

All these are not demonic operations that can be cast out/dealt with via the Faith walk around The Milk of God’s Word. These are operations of fallen Spirits like Principalities, Powers, Rulers of the Darkness of This World and Spiritual Wickedness in High Places and we must assume a Soul Stature/State likened unto Gold via a Faith to Faith Walk whereby the Church would ultimately Wrestle them out of the heaven/authority over the earth that Adam lost on our behalf! (o)

The Perimeter of This Walk is enumerated in what Apostle Paul called The Gospel of Christ, which houses the Knowledge of a Superior Power that unwinds the influence of the works of those fallen Spirits in the souls of men and The Church (You & I) must desire a change in meals from The Milk/The Initial Faith Meals that has given birth to so much tangible exploits to higher meals of The Meat/Strong Meat, so we can experience the ‘Great Salvation’ packaged in it . (p)

This is the Walk/Spiritual Exploit that is higher than that of Satan who was once a 'WALKER' in the heavenly tabernacle. (q)

This WALK is A FAITH RESIDENT IN CHRIST which a believer that still savors the carnal/earthly life can neither discern nor embrace. This WALK is A LIFE THAT CHRIST ALONE CAN MANIFEST through a Believer-Made-Disciple-Made-Son. This understanding begins after Believers Made Disciples have journeyed from Eph. 1:14 to Eph. 1:17-18 and from Mark 11:23 unto Gal. 2:20 Kind of Faith! (r)

Many believers ‘who are at ease in Zion’ would get to heaven but painfully COME SHORT OF WALKING WORTHY OF THIS GOSPEL OF CHRIST which He could only speak of in parables and later downloaded it into the hearts/minds of The Apostles, documented in Romans to Revelation (s)

(a) Gen. 4:16-17&26/2Cor. 3:5/Phil. 3:3 (b) Gal. 3:28Acts 10:36 (c) Rom. 7:23-25/8:2 (d) Rom. 8:5-7/1 Cor. 2:14-15/ (e) 1 Jn. 2:15-16/Ps. 33:5/45:7/Heb. 1:9 (f) Gen. 2/Isa. 66:1-2/Eph. 2:22/1 Cor. 6:18/2 Pet. 1:3-4 (g) 1 Cor. 15:49/2 cor. 3:18 (h) Eze. 28:2-12/1 Cor. 2:6-7/Rom. 16:25/Co. 3:16 (i) Isa. 14:12/2 Tim. 3:2-5/Heb. 6:1-2/Eph. 1:15/Acts 28:6/Gal. 2:20/Phil. 3:9 (note mention of The Faith of Christ not just Faith in Christ) (j) Eze. 28:12/Phil. 2:8/2 Cor. 10:5/Mark 4:19/Eph. 6:11 (k) Jn. 3:19/Matt. 6:23/2 Cor. 4:4/Rom. 1:16-17 (l) Eph. 4:18/1:17-18/3 Jn. 1:2 (m) Rom. 6:16-18/Jn. 4:23 (n) 2 Pet. 1:11/Heb. 4:1/2 Pet. 3:18 (o) Eph. 6:12/Isa. 13:12/1 Cor. 3:12/2 Tim. 2:20 (p) Rom. 15:29/Heb. 2:3/5:12-14 (q) Eze. 28:12-14/Heb. 2:3 (r) Col. 1:27/Acts 17:28/Col. 3:3 (s) Heb. 4:1/Col. 1:10/Thes. 2:12/Eph. 4:1

The Authoring of an ‘Unfinished Faith’! - Part 15

Dearly Beloved,

- The Apostles described an aspect of the bible as The Gospel of Christ/The Gospel of God. a

- That Gospel is an unsearchable Light, an abundant Life, an unfathomable Love and a Hidden Wisdom that the Lord Jesus couldn’t declare plainly but in parables during his earthly ministry. b

- That Gospel is still being caressed on the surface and read as parables by many of God’s children/ministers till date because of The Glories around The Initial Faith Meal which has given birth to much exploit and now supersedes The Meat/Strong Meat of God’s Word. c

- That Gospel was designed to wean Believers from The Milk of God’s word and then prepare Disciples for the curriculum of Sons so that they can ultimately partake in the Thronic Life that exists only amidst the Godhead, which they could only share with the likes of those with a Priestly Soul Stature like the Apostles of the lamb in their day. d

- That Gospel had to begin with an introductory aspect summarized in Heb. 6:1-2 which the blessed Church of Christ has so far profited from, but there is a clarion call not just to a company called FEW but to The Corporate Church to migrate from Heb. 5:12 to Heb. 5:13-14 and then truly submit to Matt. 6:33. e

- When that Gospel is discerned, we would then see like the Apostles saw, the difference between biblical statements or promises that draws unbelievers to God and those that keep young believers who haven’t seen the skeleton of the carnal life and therefore relate with God as a Problem Solving/Needs Providing Being. We would also appreciate Spiritual Promises that can only be embraced by those whose NEED is becoming GOD’S NEED or has become GOD’S NEED – TO WALK LIKE CHRIST WALKED! f

- There are counsels of Faith that help MANY to BELIEVE IN GOD. There are counsels of Faith that leads FEW on ancient paths where KNOWLEDGE OF GOD can be found. Both have their kind of Glory, One Ephemeral, the other, Eternal. One cannot escape the corruption of this world while the other discerns and deals with it! One entertains the operation of God’s Hands while the other is tailored to strictly reveal God’s Face! g

- There is an aspect of The Gospel where there seems to be a ‘Jehovah sharp sharp’ that always answer the prayers of believers but there is another aspect that places a demand on FEW to Grow above the ‘stature’ of such problems by saying “My Grace is Sufficient for You”! h

- There are counsels of Faith that talk about what God can do about Our Natural Life and how to get him to do it (Faith Towards God). There are counsels of Faith that talk about what God has done about Our Spiritual Life, about How He Did It and How We Can Inherit It and reign with Him in His soon coming kingdom! (Faith of The Son) i

- There are counsels in the Bible that offer the substances for the Foundation of Faith and there are eternal counsels that offer the divine substances for the Building of Faith. j

- There is an aspect of the Gospel that prepares MANY to excel in giving materially and there is another aspect of the Gospel that prepares FEW to become a Holy Acceptable Living Altar whose have received great mercy to know that OBEDIENCE is better than SACRIFICE! k

- There is an aspect of the Gospel that enables MANY to ignore the world and there is another aspect that reveals to FEW, The True Color of The World and thereby enable them to confront The Deep Seated Secret Love of The World resident in the Soul. l

- There is an aspect of the Gospel that encourages believers to Love others as they love themselves and there is another aspect (a New Commandment) that demands Loving like Christ Loved His Church! m

- There is an aspect of the Gospel that enlightens MANY on their Righteousness in Christ Jesus (so called ‘New Creation Realities’ which is far deeper than assumed) and there is another aspect that somehow only succeeds in enlightening FEW on the Righteousness of God which is actually an unknown/uncelebrated Knowledge of a Power that Saves The Soul from the corruption it acquired during past/ongoing carnal walk which also deals with the subtle stature called ‘Self-Righteousness’. n

- There is an aspect of the Gospel that enabled the likes of Peter-the-disciple to carry out miracles in the book of Matthew-Acts but there is another aspect that placed a demand on him to become a student of Apostle Paul so he could understand why this other aspect of the Gospel focuses on The Mysterious Being Called The Soul. o

- There is an aspect of the Gospel that enabled Demas to journey with Apostle Paul on his first missionary journey to Asia, but there is this Demand of The other Aspect of The Gospel that doesn’t spare The Love of This Present World that limited Demas from finishing his course and securing his eternal inheritance. p

- There is an aspect of the Gospel that can enable a believer to cast out devils/demons and heal the sick and there is another aspect that says ‘rejoice not in that’ but in your Growth in Grace & in The Knowledge of the Son where Satan (not demons) can only be dealt with/overcome! q

- There is an aspect of the Gospel where The Lord did exploits under the name/operation/anointing of ‘Jesus Christ of Nazareth’ and there is another aspect where he had to inherit a more excellent ministry/operation/name of An Apostle & High Priest of The Profession of Faith and can thereby perfect The Saints and bring many Sons unto Glory! r

- There is an aspect of the Gospel that encourages a believer to continue in The Goodness of God and there is an aspect where The Severity of God must be introduced so God can deal with such as unto Sons and prepare them to handle the scepter of His Kingdom! s

- The list is endless but the time is at hand! The Church (The Soul) can only be begotten by The Incorruptible Seed/The Engrafted Word by a walk from Faith to Faith so as to attain the status/stature of our regenerated human Spirit that’s seated in heavenly places! t

- This is the terrain where many ‘Postive Thinking/Motivational Teachings’ are limited and therefore can’t perfect the saints! It would take the other aspect of the Gospel called The Word of Righteousness which was accessed/employed by the Apostles in handling This Present World which The Lord is currently employing in administrating The World To Come!. u

This is the testimony of Jesus, the prophetic life which makes the New Testament God’s secret to dissolve everything contrary to The Tree of Life or anything with an imprint of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil which is carelessly being nurtured in the Church of Christ today! This is the Gospel that gives expression to the divine life whose bearing tangents towards The New Creation Man/World! v

My question to us all is “are we really preparing for it” or do we want to learn about this So Great Salvation when we get to heaven with a consequence in The New Heaven/New Earth? w

Sons & A Destiny Called Nigeria - Part 1

Beloved,

Permit me to give a defense on the following mail on the issue of Nigeria which I have always shy away from and i'm doing so from a strictly Spiritual perspective since true Christians are called to judge ALL THINGS Spiritually. 1 Cor. 2:15.

Firstly, these developed nations that my brother tried to analyze in his mail below have experienced more ungodliness than many underdeveloped nations like Nigeria which is still enjoying ‘packets’ of spiritual grace on the average, though incapacitated by legitimate economic needs (food, cloth, housing, job etc). On the contrary, I see a depreciation of the grace/faith life in many developed nations, despite the economic privileges/advantages which has now become their pride and in some cases, idols. 

Deu. 32:15 …But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: thou art waxen fat, thou art grown thick, thou art covered with fatness; then he forsook God which made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation. I can therefore deduce that "It is easier for God to save a crude 'ifasan' that once served 'dumb idols' than a professor Emeritus that serves his intellectual glory or a ‘Super Star’ with 'sophisticated idols' traceable to his achievements!

No wonder when someone ministered to a white man some time ago and asked if he wants to allow Jesus come reside in his heart, his response was 'CAN HE PAY THE BILLS'. Would you get that response from even a Muslim in Nigeria? I love all tribes, tongues, kindred and nations but pray they wake up from their slumber!

The corruption (that works by lust) that is troubling developed nations in a monumental proportion is more than we can find in underdeveloped or developing nations like Nigeria. Haven’t you noticed the increase in perversion/depraved minds in some developed countries all in the name of being more civilized? Many have become ‘weak nations’ though glorying outwardly like the Laodicea Church, they keep saying ‘I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing, but they know not that they are wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked'! They need strength that can only be administered by the True Church which would ultimately rise out of the likes of Nigeria! Rev. 3:17

On the other hand, the corruption that is ravaging Nigeria is being insincerely confronted with weak earthly laws (from the judicial/corruption agencies) whose intelligence remains inferior to the Laws of Sin and Death. Their wisdom is from beneath, remains devilish and can’t really get the job done!

Satan can clearly see the potential of Son’s that would cut short his reign arising out of the likes of Nigeria. There is a critical mass of Saints (Sons) whom the Lord called ‘His Brethren’ that must attain a Kingly and Priestly stature in their Souls to judge the illegality of the reign of the Prince of the Power of The Air. 

Satan knows that there is something mysterious about Nigeria and he fears the declaration of another chapter of ‘had I known, I wouldn’t have troubled the soul of this nation’ (1 Cor. 2:8). God be praised, because out of these ‘buffeting’ shall the wheat be separated from the chaff and vessels (saviors) would arise that would carry an anointing that has hardly visited the earth, one that would break the chains and curtain of darkness that have kept this nation imprisoned. 

Satan knows that There Is A Power In The Gospel that is superior to Nuclear Power, so he has fought the church to a place where they have built a tabernacle around the glories of the acts of God's Hand. He dreads ‘BELIEVERS’ journeying out of The Milk arena (NEEDS) to partake of the Meat/Strong Meat where ‘KNOWLEDGE/KNOWERS’ who would ultimately be able to operate the Power Hidden in The Gospel, for then would a mightier deliverance than was seen in days of Moses/Daniel/Peter break forth and influence other nations. (Rom. 1:16/2 Cor 6:7/Dan. 11:32/1 Tim. 2:4/Heb. 5:14)

Nigeria hardly has anything to Glory in but we would soon see why we should extensively Glory in God and not in ‘Goods’ as has been the state of some nations whose souls are primarily known for producing goods. Something GOOD would ultimately come out of this 'Nazareth' of ours! Once God's plan to raise Sons can be discerned in Nigeria, Satan and his cohorts would suffer colossal losses beyond what we saw through the early church and we would see a glory superior to that which was once seen on the streets of Jerusalem in the book of Acts! Nations of the earth (including United Nations) would hear of a wisdom they cant resist or gainsay, one that would not only solve elusive earthly problems of nations but also give direction for nations to rediscover their identity in God, so they would send their emissaries to inquire from them in fulfilment of Isaiah's prophesies.

Satan knows the Lord would raise an army unto himself, he knows that they are not in palaces, yet he can’t locate the caves and dens where they are being kept by the Lord. He knows such Sons have the potential of aligning and running with the prophesies of prophets like Ezekiel and Isaiah’s about his fall. He dreads those who would not just ‘Talk The Walk’ but ‘Walk The Walk’ and commit God to avenge the disobedience over Nigeria like He did against Sodom when Father Abraham’s walk assumed a qualitative dimension, when his obedience was complete. He is fighting with all his might because our true deliverance would be the source of salvation to these developed nations.

- Does God want to humble nations of the earth through a mysterious plan to showcase His Power through a nation like Nigeria like he tried in vain with Israel?
- Is there something about the ‘foolishness of God’ that is about to confound all that Satan represents through Nigeria? (1 Cor. 1:25)
- Does Nigerian’s desire to rise up economically and technologically come with a motive of competing or being like other heathen nations? Are we jealous enough to desire the light of the Gospel shine through us and empower us to minister life unto the degradation of other these nations? Should we continue savoring the carnal glories of these nations?

Satan is managing the ignorance and darkness of nations with a ‘high wisdom’ that the church (you and I) must grow above. The least of his wiles and weapons are spiritual (though perverted), so it would takes weapons that are not carnal to contend with such. How I wish most of the intellectually appealing ideas/weapons could get the job done. (Eze. 28:12/Eph. 6:11/2 Cor. 2:11/2 Cor. 10:4)

Nigeria is purely a unique nation and a company of Kings and Priests would ultimately arise from here unto The Lord and this is Satan's headache!

I perceive that the Lord’s counsel to developed nations is "Restore The Ancient Landmark Which Thy Fathers Set and Return to Your first Love, if you ever had one"! Job. 24:2/Prov. 22:28

My earnest prayer to discouraged Nigerians is that God would help you see what He is seeing in His Eternal Plan so you would rejoice, though you seem forsaken and 'barren' but with Great Mercies shall the Lord gather you and your Children would be more than the children of the married wife and the wisdom of His Face shall be your inheritance! (Isa. 54:1-8)

Selah.

Subject: Re: What will our expectations produce?

Let me throw another pebble in the pond!

I'm currently doing a study (personal) on the relationship between the wealth of nations and adherence to the Christian faith.
I'm currently puzzled as to why an atheist country like China is powering through to becoming the next world super power.
I'm puzzled as to Japan was until recently the 2nd largest economy in the world and no its not a Christian country
I'm puzzled as to why secular(read unbelieving) Europe is arguably the richest continent on earth.
I'm puzzled as to why South Africa with it's legacy of apartheid is the largest economy in Africa.
I'm puzzled as to why seemingly religious nations like Nigeria is behind in many developmental indices.

Will Nigeria's problems be solved by positive confession and prayers alone. I believe not.
More questions racing through my mind....
Is China's technological advancement a product of Biblical prayers and positive confession? Hmmmmm
Is the rise of the asian tigers traceable to Christianity? Hmmmmm
Is the tendency to live much longer in Europe obtainable today because they are Bible believing Christians?

While the prayer sessions are going on for Nigeria we've got to start asking questions of leadership in Nigeria. This i believe is what Charles Sogbesan satire is all about. An avenue to ventilate one's frustration with the leadership in Nigeria.

While the Save Nigeria Group ventilates its frustration via marching in our streets and demonstrating, others like Simon Kolawole do this by writing weekly in the newspapers, Gbenga Aruleba does his via his Focus on Nigeria show(not sure if he's still the presenter), Chinua Achebe does his by rejecting a national honour from a corrupt elite that is part of the problem etc

Our collective 'God dey' mentality in Nigeria i believe is part of our problem. It's turned us all into a 'siddon look' people.
God will not come down and change Nigeria. We have a believe that our faith in God alone will equate into prosperity. See where our faith without works has landed us!
We must be willing to do what the prosperous nations of the earth did. And no China, Japan, India and the emerging economies of today have not earned that title by prayers and fasting! If these non-christian nations can power into economic advancement by WORKS alone, imagine what adding WORKS to our FAITH will do. I believe it will produce an unimaginably rich country. But alas our FAITH remains without commensurate WORKS. That's why its dead!!!!

My research continues!

Your brother still,

Onye

The Authoring of an Unfinished Faith! - Part 14

Dearly Beloved,

There is a company of saints arising from the earth who would be answers to heaven’s ‘prayers’ for Sons to arise upon the earth. Heb. 2:10/12:7/1 Jn. 3:1/2 Pet. 1:17

They are a company of ‘Dual Dwellers’ who live, move, have their being in Him and seek to make Manifest The Savor of The Knowledge of Christ in the days of their flesh. Acts 17:28/2 Cor. 2:14

They live in a wicked and adulterous generation but Seek An Enduring ‘City’ With Foundations Whose Builder and Maker Is God Matt. 12:39/Heb. 11:10

They live amongst the saved and unsaved but graciously Love To Love Them Unconditionally by Dying Daily to the anthem of “Me, Myself & I”. Rom. 5:6/Lk. 6:23-24/Jn. 12:25/1 Cor. 15:50/Gal. 6:8

They desire to be captives/bond servants of the Lord who would Walk From Faith To Faith and Fellowship With The Totality of Eternity In Time. Eph. 3:1/Col. 1:7/4:12/Rom. 1:17

They die daily to the anxieties around the ‘Timing of Biological Clocks’ and are New Testament kind of the faithful servants whom Solomon confirmed are refreshments to the soul of their master. Prov. 20:6/25:13

They savor not and love not the Carnal Life unto the death of every such Soulish Life whose source of inspiration is not Born From Above. Rom. 8:7/Rev. 12:11/1 Cor. 15:49/1 Jn. 3:8/Jn. 8:23

There is another company of Christians who haven’t understood why Paul desired that believers should only have Intimate Knowledge With The Lord and not With The World. 2 Cor. 11:2/1 Jn. 2:15

They are in dire need of preachers who have understood the Strong Meat of The Word and are selflessly partnering with the Lord to wean believers from the Milk of The Word. 2Pet. 3:15/Heb. 5:14/6:1

They must be told that they are pilgrims called to attain The Stature of The Fullness of Christ, The Glorified Soul State of the New Creation Man that can Reign With Christ. Eph. 4/13/2 Tim 2:12

They must be told that an unimaginable experience awaits complacent believers who’ll shamefully appear before the Lord after limiting Eternal Life from colonizing their Souls. 1 Jn. 2:18/Heb. 11:16

They must discern Earthly Races that subtly Fight The Faith Life Daily, that which wrote some fleshly chapters of Father Abraham/David’s life until they understood that The Secret of Dying To The World is by Dying To What They Secretly Love Above God, by Sacrificing every ‘Isaac’. Gen. 22:1-12

They must be reminded that The Wisdom of The Epistles is To Produce Overcomers, a critical mass of saints who would access the hidden wisdom that Satan was ignorant of before his fall and thereby experience the full redemption of man that can wear the name/nature of the Father after completing the course of the Faith of The Son which alone can administer the substances of The Divine Nature to The Soul. Rev. 12:11/14:1-3/1 Cor. 2:6-7/2 Tim. 4:7/2 Pet. 1:3-4/1 Jn. 3:2

They must be reminded that the Book of Revelations is not a book about the antichrist but an unveiling of the prophetic life in Jesus Christ which would Raise Sons that would confront that fallen Son called Satan!

They must be told that contrary to some doctrines today, The Goal of Believers is not to ‘Make Heaven’ but reach The End of Faith like the Apostles/few in every generation. 1 Pet. 1:9

They must be told that they can primarily live by Faith here on earth and would graduate with a Soul State likable to either Gold, Silver, Precious Stones, Wood, Hay or Hubble. With one either likeable to that of Steven, The Apostles or close to The Thief on the Cross! With a Soul State/Status that should be compliant to that of The World to Come where The Reign of Divine Life would be enthroned? Rev.3:18/1Cor.3:12-14/2Tim.2:20/Rom.5:17

Selah!

The Authoring of an ‘Unfinished Faith’! - Part 13

Dearly Beloved,

I looked into the epistles and I realize that as far as the heavens is from the earth, so far is The English Dictionary’s definition of Blindness and Enlightenment from The Lord’s definition.

I then tried to reconcile this contrast with the grave elusive responsibility before the Church of treating a blindness that can never be treated by any miracle on a crusade ground or by any Outer Court Operation of the gifts of the Spirit and I can only agree with Apostle paul that there is a depth of Riches and Wisdom in Christ to help his Church to ultimately fulfill this mandate! Rom. 11:33

I now know why many Christians are yet to begin the Patient Race set before us all, where blindness can only be dealt with through a Holy Place Walk with various specifications of truth delivered by the disciples-made-apostles, concealed in the epistles! Heb. 12:1

By blindness, I mean the fallen inspiration that made Adam to condescend to a degraded wisdom where he saw fig leaves as a substitute to his former clothing of God’s Glory.

By blindness, I mean the ‘wisdom’ that led Cain to depart from the presence of God and yet ‘prosper before men’ by building a city. Gen. 4:17

By blindness, I mean that which prompted the questions from Elisha’s servant, Nicodemus, the disciples and even Father Abraham when he earlier had a carnal definition of God’s Eternal Promise.

By blindness, I mean that which makes Christians to unconsciously assume that Sacrifices (the operation of God’s hand/blessing that thrives on Faith Towards God) could be an acceptable substitute for Obedience (the operation of God’s Face that unlocks the Faith of The Son).

By blindness, I mean the limitation of eloquent Apollos who though mighty in scriptures, only knew about the Baptism of John until he was enlightened by Aquila and Priscilla. Acts 18:24-27

By blindness, I mean that which Apostle Paul’s ministry was primarily raised to confront. Acts 26:18

By blindness, I mean that which informed the barbecue approach from the Hebrew/Corinthian Churches to The Milk of God’s Word at the expense of The Meat of God’s Word. Heb. 5:12-13/1 Cor. 3:2

By blindness, I mean the natural strength that some ministers fall back on to ensure a ministry’s outward ‘configuration’ is built ‘by all means’ and prioritized above the internal building of the saints on their Most Holy Faith.

By blindness, I mean that which incapacitates Christians from relating with Truths/Eternal Realities/Substances of An Undiscerned World To Come wherein Righteousness would dwell like iniquity currently dwells in This Passing World, leaving many to see the present heaven as a place of rest when God clearly confirmed through Old/New Testament prophets that it would pass away!

2 Pet. 3:13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for New Heavens and a New Earth, wherein dwells righteousness. i.e. The Present Heavens would pass away in fulfillment of Isa. 51:6 and give way for The New which we must understand/conform to before departing here

1 Tim. 4:8 ... godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of The Life That Now Is, and of that Which Is To Come (i.e. The life to come is not that which the present heavens is expressing. David confirmed that God has been humbling himself to behold/dwell in the present heavens while Isaiah clarified that the current heavens is a throne where he hasn’t found rest in)

Pls see Ps. 113:6/Isa. 66:1

By blindness, I mean veils that limit believers to caressing biblical promises that pertain to their physical/personal/earthly lives and ostracize many from fellowshipping with the blessed insights from Romans to Revelation which in turn should wean them from every other Earthly Races other than the Patient Race and cause an understanding of the sayings/parables of Christ in Matthew-John.

By blindness, I mean what which prompted the illumination by The Spirit of Wisdom and Revelation to minds that once dwelt in darkness, an experience that only took place after they had graduated from Faith Towards God and excelled in the syllabus of Faith in The Lord and Love Towards ALL Brethren. Eph. 4:18/5:8/1:17-18/15

By blindness, I mean The Love of This Present World that caused Demas to depart from Apostle Paul despite the fact that he had endured with him on his first missionary trip to Asia. 2 Tim. 4:10

I am therefore trying to say that:

1. That The Beginning of Faith is the Foundation for Faith for all believers and the materials for this are the elementary principles of the doctrines of Christ detailed in Heb. 6:1-2 which gave birth to Faith Towards God (that gave birth to prosperity/healing move), Doctrines of Baptisms (that gave birth to The Baptist Movement), Repentance from dead Works (that gave birth to ministries/messages against sinful living e.t.c.) BUT NONE OF THESE CAN OPEN THE EYES OF THE UNDERSTANDING OF A BELIEVER!

2. The above experiences (initial faith walk) don’t take place in what was clearly symbolized in the Old Testament as the Holy Place and it takes a migration here to experience the 1st pair Spirit (The Spirit of Wisdom and Revelation in the Knowledge of Him) where treatment for blindness begins.

3. The main fact that a believer has been in Church for decades doesn’t confirm that the Eyes of their Understanding has been enlightened. We can only build on what a foundational Apostle like Paul laid, lest spirits would supervise our ignorance and Christianity would continue to be a religion and not a revealed life from the Spirit. 1 Cor. 3:10. When we do,

a). Heaven would begin to watch how such believers ‘Continue in the Sincere Milk of His Word’ and appreciate the tailored made trials that help them to shed the carnal nature in the Soul.

b). Heaven would also weigh how such believers have added the costly act of Loving other believers, irrespective of their denominations and their carnality.

c). Then fervent prayers would have to be made by or on behalf of such a one like Apostle Paul did for the Ephesian Saints, for ‘veils be taken off their Eyes’.

d). Then Knowledge of Truth would gradually be opened, our individual theologies begin to wither and we would then Discern The Spirit from The Letter. 1 Tim. 2:4/2 Tim. 3:7

e). Then we would comprehend why the issue of Our Spiritual Inheritance has been weighty to God from the days of Abraham/Esau and also appreciate its emphasis throughout the epistles.

f). Then we would see why The Lord is calling us to experience a Faith in Him, the only Faith specimen that is superior to/overcomes the might of The Wisdom of This World! Acts 26:18

My prayer is that The Church/Christians would move from Eph. 1:15 to Eph. 1:17-18 so that veils upon Ephesians chapters 2 to 6 & other epistles would be lifted we then undress Satan’s wiles and apprehend Christ Hidden Wisdom ordained for our Glory! 2 Cor. 2:11/1 Cor. 2:7.

Bless You!

The Authoring of an ‘Unfinished Faith’! - Part 15

Beloved,

I looked at eternity past, and I realize that Satan, a one-time elite in spiritual things, employs a light called darkness (Matt.  6:23/Jn. 3:19) that man could use in prospering outside grace (Pls read Prov. 1:32/Ps. 73:12/73:17-18)

The enemy has preyed on generations of men who don’t settle for sincerity, i.e. the sincere milk of the word (1Pet. 2:2) and has limited many Christians from morphing through the BELIEVING PHASE to the KNOWING PHASE of the Christian faith. Such inverted lights were described by Apostle Paul as Philosophies, Traditions/Doctrines of men, Rudiments of This World which fights the propagation of truth and remain subtle enemies of Grace. Jn. 1:9/Col. 2:8/22/Heb. 13:9

I look into the day called today (Heb. 3:7), and I’m amazed at the unhealthy assumptions with which many Christians believe they can ignore depths of truths (revelations) and escape being a subject of Satan’s Wiles/inverted wisdom (2Cor. 2:11) and ultimately finish their course.

I now attempt to look forward into eternity, and I see how God’s hope of reaping ‘Trees of Righteousness’ (matured sons) and not just ‘Shrubs’ (children) has been increasingly limited by virtue of the attitude and mindset of contentment with conventional Christianity/elementary ABC aspect of the faith-to-faith meal, which ostracizes many from desiring the depths of both THE WISDOM AND RICHES OF CHRIST! Jam. 5:7/Isa.61:3/Rom. 11:33

1 Cor. 3:3 For ye are yet CARNAL: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men/unbelievers?

i.e. They were toiling with their eternal reward/inheritance by not receiving Spiritual Ministrations that would heal their Carnal Souls

Lk. 23:43 And Jesus said unto him (the thief on the cross), Verily I say unto thee, today shall thou be with me in paradise.

i.e. He got to heaven but with no fruits and a lame soul that hadn’t walked from Faith to Faith

So, when I, like many, once thought I was ‘Enjoying My Life’ during my youthful days, my soul was actually being depleted of the residual life in my soul.

Satan knew that every man would need a light (wisdom) to thrive in the natural, so before The True Light (Christ Jesus) came knocking, he had dressed a kind of light called ‘darkness’ that the natural/carnal mind can easily embrace/‘proper with’. So by the time the Lord was introducing the issue of Life Unto Souls, men had married Another Life/Light whose only desire was to be elites in the natural but Simple/elementary in the Spirit!

Matt. 6:23 ‘If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness! i.e. Darkness is the ‘Light’ of some who don’t lack ‘results’

This is the Light that Satan presents to every soul from childhood to adulthood and men have enjoyed/profited with it and it has become man’s confidence and pride!

1. No wonder the producer of MTV Base could boast that he controls the minds of teenagers through his ‘ministrations’ from earthly thrones of pleasures!
2. No wonder Israel still awaits the first coming of Jesus!
3. No wonder the trials of Job or of Jesus on the Mount can hardly ever be understood by children because it has to do with contentions against Sons from a one-time light-bearer called Lucifer!

This is the inverted light that was responsible for fleshy chapters of the life of old faithful from Genesis-Revelation, from Adam to Father Abraham to the even unto Apostle Peter! Gal. 2:11-14/Acts 10:13-17

This light is the reason why some Christians are deceived into believing that they can eat of the Tree of The Knowledge of Good and Evil (accommodate the love of the world) and also eat of the Tree of Life (qualify for fellowship with the Father) 1 Jn. 2:15

This light was the wisdom employed by past and present religious leaders who handed various down religion to generations by introducing doctrines of men and intellectually appealing philosophies that has led to disunity in the body of Christ today.

1. The presence of such light in an anointed David was what made him to sincerely cry out “Lord, enlighten my darkness”! Ps. 18:28
2. The presence of such that light in the Church was why Apostle Paul was raised with a commission to ‘turn men/believers from Darkness to Light’. Acts 26:18.
3. The presence of such light in believers was why Jesus Christ inherited a has engaged a more excellent name/ministry as the Apostle and High Priest of the profession of faith through which he perfects saints whose sight has been recovered (blind souls, not just blind eyes). Heb. 1:4/3:1/Lk. 4:18
4. The presence of such light was why the Faith of many continues to rest in the Wisdom of Men (intellectually sound but spiritually bankrupt teachings) 1 Cor. 2:5 
5. The presence of such light in a believer is what unconsciously fights God when He attempts to wean Christians from the Initial Faith Foundation of the Milk of The Word (Faith Towards God) unto Higher Faith meals (Faith of The Son) meant to guarantee our being built as lively stones for an habitation for God. Eph. 2:22/1Pet. 2:5

 The Apostles left us without an excuse by declaring through their epistles to us that it took a High Wisdom for Satan to dress darkness as light/human wisdom (Eze. 28:12-15/1 Cor. 2:7) and it takes a Higher Wisdom That Was Hidden In Christ (Eph. 3:10) and unknown to Satan to undress/subdue it. Interestingly, the perimeter of this Hidden Wisdom was only spelt out in The Faith/Walk of The Son and not around Faith Towards God where The Church on the average has settled!

May we find Mercy and Grace to humbly appreciate The Purpose of Revelation which was ordained to engraft saints into a higher faith walk where we should bring forth Precious fruits and not remain as Seeds, Amen!

James 5:7 … Behold, the husbandman waits for the Precious Fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receives the early (Beginning of Faith Fruits) and latter rain (End of Faith Fruits).

Bless You!

The Authoring of An Unfinished Faith - Part 11

Dearly Beloved,

I realize that I love Rev. Kenneth E. Hagin of blessed memory the same way I love a foundational Apostle like Paul!

I love their insightful veil rending/Faith to Faith teaching messages that has established generations of saints who opened up to their ministry to the body of Christ!

I love the skills with which they wisely weeded out theologies and doctrines of men that promote teachings outside the perimeter of the garden of truth ordained by Christ for His Body

I love the qualitative and quantitative work which they carried out during their earthly sojourn to ensure that believers are established on The Milk and The Meat of God’s Word respectively

I love to see The body of Christ have more of such spiritual ministries that would selflessly dispense the Spirit-Life with abounding Grace and cause more Children to graduate into Sons!

I realize that the Lord employed a Spiritual Wisdom in reaching out to every soul that had earlier been led by what was confirmed by Apostle John as idols.

I see the wisdom with which He projects a long term plan to disengage souls from affections they lavished on the fallen life by stirring up Faith to Believe in Him

I see the wisdom with which He gradually strengthens their confidence in his ability to Meet Their Physical Needs while preparing them to Meet His Spiritual Need.

I see the Patience He then employs as he watches young believers wax stronger in their ‘Faith Towards God’ as they carry out various natural exploits around what they see as their Needs.


I realize the Lord later adds an uninteresting ingredient called Patience to this initial Faith, thus expecting them to Trust in Him when he seems to delay in answering their prayers.

I see a wisdom with which the Lord then begins to wean believers here from that initial elementary Faith/Doctrine of Christ unto a higher Faith Meal that begins to change the Soul-State through Trials

I see how the Lord begins to then teach them the art of waiting where such would begin to shed the former ‘Egyptian’ life/carnal nature acquired during a previous Love/Walk in The World

I see how the ability to now add ‘Love unto all brethren’ to their Faith later brings those who yield to The Lord here to a place where their Faith would be christened as Faith In The Lord Jesus!


I realize the Lord then prepares those that have excelled in the Faith/Patience/Love Walk for the first experience of the Spirit of Wisdom & Revelation in the Knowledge of Him

I see how the operation of this 1st pair Spirit then causes an Enlightenment of The Eyes of Their Understanding where veils are gradually dealt with and Faith to Know Him is Received!

I see how the Lord then commends his Righteous Judgments to such a Believer-Made-Disciple to see God’s plan to Save the Soul and make it wear a higher glory than that which Adam wore!

I see that only then would the Lord open up such disciples to The Realm called Truth and increasingly grant such the skills to handle The Word of Righteousness, The Faith of The Son of God! Selah

Bless You!
