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!

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

Dear Beloved,

It may interest you to know that there are as many unhealthy assumptions among God’s people of what the enemy actually stole from mankind as there are presumptions about what God primarily restored to man through Christ and this is why Satan is always encouraged when believers REST after receiving what is termed ‘BREAKTHROUGH’.

I thank God for breakthroughs i.e. the supernatural manifestations of God’s hand that excites our minds when we see such on a crusade grounds or in our physical life! I’ve experienced it and still trust God for it but we can confirm from Matt. 6:30-34/7:7 that it was never God’s ordination for man to SEEK what is called ‘Breakthroughs’ today! God only gave provision for men to ASK in faith for ‘Breakthroughs’ while the Soul was meant to SEEK only what we originally lost i.e. Things Eternal/The Spiritual/Things Above! Col. 3:2

2 Cor. 4:18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal

-       The Lord knew that Satan has an edge in the physical by virtue of his internal constitution (Eze. 28:12-14) which makes him brighter than multitudes of men, so He designed a path where he can blindly stray into and have his wisdom crucified by the Faith to Faith walk of believer (1 Jn. 5:4)

-       The Lord therefore used a wisdom that Satan never understood before his fall to ordain A Walk of Faith that would enable men to locate and inherit what they lost through Adam!

-       The Lord then explained through his Holy Apostles that The Art of Seeking is the exclusive destiny of the Soul whereby it would ultimately Inherit The Spiritual.

-       The Lord knew that believers would ‘get to heaven’ without this understanding but they would do so with a stunted spiritual growth that would give a legal right to the accuser of the brethren to brag about those three elements of the world that he couldn’t find in Jesus or in the early apostles like he bragged against Job, so He left Christians without an excuse by documenting the Instructions For Living Above The Wisdom of This World in the Epistles!

1 Jn. 2:16 ‘For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world’.

Jn. 14:30 Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for The Prince of This World cometh, and has nothing in me. (i.e. the 3 elements of the world in 1 Jn. 2:16 were absent in Jesus)

The effect of the fall of man through Adam is therefore still holding sway because we have not lavished the energies of our soul in seeking what Sons with Spiritual Statures like Abraham, Enoch, Moses, Job, Zachariah, John The Baptist, The Apostles, remnant of the early Church or even Balaam (before he erred) celebrated as breakthrough! These old faithful went from Faith to Faith through those raw trials that enabled them to wrestle against The Course/Wisdom of This World.

While many primarily seek to inherit The Physical which has been further exalted by pulpits today, those old faithful sought to Overcome The Natural By Capturing The Spiritual through A Walk of Faith after the order of Knowledge (the wisdom/operation of his face) and not just The Initial Walk of Faith after the order of Believing (the blessing/operation of his hands). They began as Believers but ended up as ‘Knowers’ and with such Knowledge of The Holy, they caused the kingdom of God to advance.

Num. 24:16-17 …Balaam the son of Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said…which heard the words of God, and knew the KNOWLEDGE of the most High, which saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance…I shall see him, but not now…

Our generation would come and go without the kingdom truly advancing if we don’t press into the stature of faith that the Lord/his Apostles experienced because our ministrations would only attend to our physical insatiable needs while God’s Needs which can only be met when Sons arise would consciously or unconsciously be despised!

So, those old faithful/Sons earlier mentioned primarily graduated in their Faith to Faith Walk where they ultimately discerned the reign of Spiritual Life (Dominion) which they inherited via conversations characterized by Dying To Self Daily! They discerned the perverted priestly wisdom by which Satan weaved/packaged The Carnal Life in very enticing manners and therefore despised it! Rom. 5:17

As we compare spiritual with spiritual, we would then discern a hard truth from the bible i.e. “What the Gospel has come to give a believer is not primarily Miracles”! Moses wrought miracles before children/unbelievers around but he personally desired to experience The Face of The Lord that was later revealed in the New Testament! Miracles were described as children’s bread in Mark 7:26 because through those physical exploits, something higher is being advertised i.e.  The Spiritual!

Exo. 33:18/20 And he said, I beseech thee, show me thy glory…. and he said, Thou canst not see my face

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

Num. 14:22 “Because all those men which have seen my glory, and my miracles, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now these ten times, and have not hearkened to my voice”

We are therefore called to seek something far higher than miracles/the works of His Hand! We are called to Seek the ministration of Christ Face/Hidden Wisdom (2Cor.3:18/4:4) where the power to change us like into the soul state attained by the Apostles is resident!

Dan. 12:3 And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars forever and ever (i.e. not a new birth experience but a turning of the heart that would bring about the salvation of the Soul -)

Most of The Gospel Paul preached was addressing believers who needed to be saved in their Soul by a Walk from Faith to Faith like they have been saved in their Spirit i.e. The Salvation of The Soul!

Rom. 1:16-17 ‘For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ: for it is the Power of God unto salvation to everyone that believes (i.e. believers are not yet initially saved in their Souls)…For therein is the Righteousness of God (not miracles but a revealed knowledge) revealed from Faith To Faith

The Gospel of Christ, which Apostle Paul preached is therefore a Power that carries out a Spiritual work on The Soul by x-raying and communicating the substances of God’s Righteousness - a Spiritual Knowledge!

My prayer is that even though The Faith of The Son/Salvation of The Soul message is one that the doors of saints or Churches would not easily be opened to, may we be humble enough to allow God confront some individual theology that promises to limit our willingness to seek things beyond Faith Toward God i.e. The Revelations of Christ by which we can only be built up to become an habitation for The Father & The Son like we currently are for His Spirit! Jn. 14:23

Bless You!

The Authoring of an ‘Unfinished Faith’! - Part 12

Dear Beloved,

I realize that God actually introduced the greatest cross to every true Christian when he declared through Apostle John ‘Love Not The World, not the Things that are in The World’! 1Jn. 2:15

I also realized that John’s audience were believers like you and I who were supposed to press into the fellowship of the Godhead which they only share with a company of saints described in every generation as ‘few’ who have been purged of the World. 1 Jn. 1:3

I then saw that it took a cherubic stature of a fallen wisdom from Satan to create a belief system in men over centuries to believe that man’s problems are his physical/earthly needs when actually the source of man’s problem/limitations is traceable to the absence of The Love of The Father due to a secret Love For The World that begun and is still being fuelled daily with disobedience! Eze. 28:12/1 Jn. 2:15

I now see that the sole design of God for believers to journey ‘From Faith to Faith’ is to prepare them to live above the Wisdom of The World and ultimately enable them rewrite a better edition of the victorious walk we saw in the early Church. The children of Israel fell short when they rested with the circumcision of their foreskin (which was a type of new birth today) and failed to subscribe to a higher Faith Meal that should have graduated them into being Priests unto God (Exo. 19:6). They therefore fell short of a type of the demand for maturity/perfection/Sonship in the New Testament which takes place by the ‘circumcision of the heart/Salvation of The Soul. Jos. 5:3/Deu. 10:16/Eze. 11:19/Heb. 8:10

Hos. 4:6 My people (believers) are destroyed (come short) for lack of (revealed) knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shall be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

Faith Towards God was therefore ordained by God as an interim operation which was later called The Milk of God’s Word in the New Testament meant to lay A Foundation for a higher faith, the building aspect of Faith that can Overcome The Wisdom of The World.

Through Apostle Paul’s epistles to the Corinthian and Hebrew Church, he confirmed that the privileges of the gifts of the Spirit, initial baptism, repentance from dead works and faith towards God (Heb. 6:1-2) would help a believer have their emotional, material and health needs met. This Beginning aspect of Faith advertises something that is still kept concealed in The Gospels/Epistles, i.e. a Power whose operations would trigger the opening of the eyes of the heart of a believer to begin to discern the secrets of Christ that can only be taught amongst the matured (1Cor. 2:6a) and not on an evangelical crusade ground

1 Cor. 2:6 Howbeit we speak Wisdom among them that are perfect (matured): yet not the wisdom of this world, or of the princes of this world, that come to naught:

From the book of Genesis, we can clearly see that The Wisdom of The World is older than Faith Towards God which was introduced after the fall of man to help men that had been weakened by their love for the world, by their walk in the course of the world (Eph. 2:2)

Here’s a hard truth – Faith Towards God Can’t Overcome The World and its wisdom!  That is why you and I have seen or heard of Christians or even ministers who are prospering outwardly, sometimes with the gifts of the Spirit yet struggling with divers lusts (Titus 3:3). Why? Because tarrying too long with the milk of the word or not moving from Believing meals unto Knowing meals would empower corruption to set in just like it did when the manna was left overnight and this is the reason for carnality in the church till date!

1 Jn 5:4 For whatsoever is born of God overcomes (is superior to) the world: and this is the victory that overcomes the world, even Our Faith (The Like Precious Faith their Soul later inherited after being born of the incorruptible word/eternal life). 2 Pet. 1:1/1 Pet. 1:23

On the other hand, The Wisdom of This World is far inferior to the Faith of The Son which was actually ordained before the world began, but hidden for ages, prophesied by the Sons of Men (old testament prophets) and only revealed unto the Apostles of Christ to enable the church (You and I) deal with the Wisdom of Satan! Lk. 1:70/Rom. 16:25/Matt. 3:35/Eph. 3:5

The Wisdom of The World was what Satan used in plotting mankind’s fall through Adam and it took a consistent unblemished 33 years record of obedience to God for the Lord Jesus to declare himself as unspotted from it i.e. from the Lust of the Flesh, Lust of the Eyes and Pride of Life

It takes a lot to lay a good foundation for a physical house and that is what is obtainable through conventional believers’ acts of going to Church, sowing bountifully, loving his neighbors or even abstaining from obvious sins. Samuel of old excelled beyond such conducts but was lacking in the New Testament priestly revelation later introduced by Jesus.

If evangelists get all unbelievers on earth born again today, the Lord Jesus won’t come because all of such new converts won’t have his image and likeness in their Soul like they do in their Spirit.

Such new converts would have varying degrees of worldly affection! They would firstly need to secure a foundation over time via what was called Faith Towards God, then the Lord through his Spirit would gradually introduce them to what was described in the books of Ephesians and Thessalonians as A Faith In The Lord Jesus that would see them through customized trials and ultimately qualify them for Eph. 1:17-18 experience where The Eyes of Their Understanding would be gradually Enlightened for graduation from being BELIEVERS to being ‘KNOWERS’ via the Faith of The Son or Faith of The Lord Jesus where they would ultimately journey to judge Satan’s wisdom through their walk in realms where he’s rendered blind (i.e. the Old Rugged Cross) where they would lay hold of The End of The Faith, THE SALVATION OF THE SOUL!

Bless You!

The Authoring of An 'Unfinished faith' - Part 11

Dear Beloved,

I went into some past archives of my Soul and was amazed to realize how Satan craftily stole so much from me during my childhood to late teenage years before I got born again. I was ignorant of what the Lord had had earmarked for me and later realized that was a ‘dark age’ of my life where the enemy had stated maturing me from ‘Believing In The World’ to almost ‘Knowing The World’ i.e. having intimacy with The Wisdom of The World through my daily choices. Unlike Christ Jesus who at a tender age had grown in wisdom and stature, I had failed to grow in Wisdom (The Spirit) while I grew in Stature (The Natural). I ignorantly expended my youthful self for myself and planned to later give God my old Bones, a norm that has overtaken many in every generation!

Eph. 2:2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the Prince Of The Power of The Air, the spirit that now works in the children of disobedience

I then recalled that Satan still employs his Priestly Sight while inscribing Carnal Laws upon the Hearts and Minds of men which informs their Walk In The Course of This World, i.e. conducts that cause a degradation in the Soul State of believers/unbelievers and wears out the soul’s capacity to house incorruptible things that Apostle Paul likened as unto Gold, Silver and Precious Stones, thereby leaving it to house corruptible/ephemeral things likable to wood, hay and stubble! 1 Cor. 3:12/1 Cor. 9:25/1 Pet. 1:4/23

The burden that informed this series then sprung from my heart after realizing that Satan still cunningly sells His Wisdom/Life/Lies to many of God’s people the same way he sold it to Adam and Eve despite the fact that they Knew God (i.e. KNOWERS) and not just believed in God (i.e. weren’t just BELIEVERS)!

·         No wonder he once fed fat on my ignorance during those days of disobedience, but for the Laws of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus which is gradually unwinding the imprint of those former Lustful Laws by The Hearing of The Word of Faith! Rom. 8:1-2/Eph. 2:3/Rom. 10:17

• No wonder Satan still exercises his crafty ability to transform himself into an angel of Light while Promoting The World with many enticing snares that believers can only escape after they begin to partake of the Divine Nature when they journey to The Knowledge of Truth. 2 Cor.11:14/2 Pet. 1:4
• No wonder it takes a graceful adventure into The Epistles to know that what generations of men ‘woke up’ and labeled/discerned as ‘good’ actually emanated from the Tree of The Knowledge of Good and Evil that always gives birth to many ‘Good Ideas’ that aren’t God’s Idea! Lk. 16:15
• No wonder children/youths today can skillfully and passionately relate with a self-glorifying/outward life but hardly have a closet life like Samuel, John or Jesus had at a very tender age. 1 Sam. 2:18
• No wonder many who submit to the Wisdom of this Tree end up journeying from being ‘BELIEVERS’ of The World to being ‘KNOWERS’ of The World before comprehending the ABC of the Spirit Life
• No wonder The Lord Jesus had to ordain a Higher Walk of Faith that is potent enough to overcome the imprint of The World on the soul via our former walk, which begins through ‘Faith Toward God’ employed by God in reaching men that have been weakened by the wisdom of the world but only ends through The Faith of The Son that made the Apostles OVERCOMERS, not only in their Spirit but in their ‘Thronic Compliant Souls Estate’! Heb. 6:1/Rom. 5:6/Gal. 2:20
• No wonder The Lord christened the Light of natural men as ‘darkness’ when he saw that men’s judgment/divine reasoning had been completely stolen via their rapport with The Wisdom of a fallen life that painfully goes undiscerned by some of God’s ministers today. Matt. 6:23/Jn. 3:19
• No wonder the scribes, priests and elites in Jesus day couldn't relate with The Life That He Came To Offer Men because they had married ‘Another kind of Life’ that was supervised by the true enemies of The Church i.e. Principalities, Powers/Rulers of the Darkness of This World, Spiritual Wickedness in Heavenly Places and not witches/wizards/demons or elementary spirits that some Christians specialize in today. Jn. 3:36/Eph. 6:12

My cry through this medium is that believers would not have to relive Solomon’s experience where he realized at the tail end of his life that despite all his exploits through a Wisdom Under The Sun, he didn't experience The Wisdom of God which his father (David) downloaded in a measure as he sought THE SPIRITUAL! Eccl. 2:19/9:13/1 Cor. 1:21/2:7

Solomon’s greatest pain was that In All His Wisdom, he didn't grow above The Stature of The Fallen State of Satan’s Wisdom, The Wisdom of The World!

You may therefore agree with me, that Christ didn't just die for our sins so that he can later ‘sneak us’ into heaven in any Soul State! Rather, He’s sitting at the right hand of the Father, waiting until His enemies who govern men (believer/unbelievers) with a Worldly Wisdom ultimately become his footstool through their Victorious walk from Faith to Faith, Glory! Ps. 110:1/Rom. 1:17

Bless You!
