WOULD GOD REST – PART 4

Dearly Beloved,

Dearly Beloved,

I finally found a clue to why believers unknowingly nurse shallow degrees of conviction and commitment to the Christian walk! There is a subtle deception/goal of at least making it to heaven (whether believers understand the implication of getting there with a far superior soul state than that of the thief or not) and this is one of the reasons why the reign of sin & death has gone unconfronted. The Kingdom of Heaven has therefore been starved of Sons, Overcomers, Trees of Righteousness, by virtue of believers  who remain in the soul state/stature of children, Seeds of Righteousness. Matt. 13:24/Gal. 3:16/Isa. 61:3

It may interest you to know that the human spirit was begotten into the Kingdom at new birth but the Soul was only adopted by the initial sprinkling and washing of water by the word. (Eph. 5:26) God therefore a holy calling upon the soul to press and enter into the kingdom and this was premised on the condition of being stripped of the carnal mind (nature) which we all bear in varying degrees! 

The soul didn’t have the capacity to discern the Kingdom when the human spirit got born again because God tied that gracious aspect/experience to A Qualitative Walk in the Spirit. We therefore can only attain Spiritual Discernment by acquiring age in the Spirit, so that the great high priest of the profession of Faith (Christ Jesus) can gradually dispense volts of revelation knowledge into our souls and we can then be graced to graduate in Knowing The Father/Partaking of His Divine Nature and Inheriting Eternal Life, glory!

So, what Jn. 3:3-4  was therefore implying was that the calling and potential to See (Jn. 3:3) the kingdom was only given to the soul at new birth while our regenerated Spirit was already manifesting the graces of the kingdom by sitting together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus! (Eph. 2:6) . Our soul is yet to seat because it is yet to partake of the glorious meals of the New Testament! You and I earnestly need to be born of water and spirit (the second birth by the incorruptible seed pertaining to the soul- (1 Pet. 1:23) whereby carnal laws we inherited when we (and as long as we love the world) would be replaced with the Laws of the Spirit of Life resident in Christ (Rom. 8:2) to enable us ultimately enter the kingdom before we ‘fall asleep’ (drop our earthly suit).

1 Pet. 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again (i.e. different from Jn. 3:3 because it pertains to the Soul) unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead

The kingdom has its interaction, its separation. Nicodemos and many wanted to see it like they saw the Davidic or Solomon’s kingdom but ‘fortunately’, it has been zoomed into the another plane. It has a path, a way and believers/ministers would need an entrance ministered unto them by continuously fulfilling 2Pet. 3-10.

2 Pet 1:11 For SO (i.e. conditional, after fulfilling vs. 3-10) an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom (not just making it to heaven which carnal believers do but going there with the kind of gold soul state of the Apostles) of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

We would see in subsequent series, why the first born again experience (initial faith) and the initial years surrounding it only makes a believer a seed of the kingdom and why many go to heaven as seed not trees of righteousness after much Christian activities/professing.

Bless You!

The Despised Gospel of Death

Dearly Beloved

The whole Gospel of John is condensed in the book of Romans 1:16. There is a Gospel of death, which people don’t preach again because it brings men to the place of death (dying to self that that Christ may live indeed). There is the written Gospel, there is the spoken Gospel but by and by there is the living Gospel. The living Gospel is for the total Salvation of man.

When men are dead, it gives God a chance to work. That’s why Jesus was glad on hearing of the death of Lazarus in John11:14. There seems to be a contradiction here. In Jn. 11:4, Jesus said Lazarus sickness was not unto death and later said plainly that he was dead in verse 14. We must come into the next level of the Gospel which is contradiction, a place where men don’t understand what is going on.

If you have not come into the Gospel of contradiction you might not understand what God is doing at the end of the day. Whenever God allows a contradiction to come into your life watch it, he is calling you into another level of the Gospel which will eventually cause you to grow in Him.

Consider Moses in Egypt who felt that to kill an Egyptian was the right thing to do. This was a contradiction but God used it to work out something in him, to bring him to another level. He fled Egypt and ran into the wilderness and became a Shepherd. It was there that God brought him into the level of being a sheep - where he was dumb, like a sheep unlike the eloquent man he was in Egypt. God brought him to the point where he could hear the voice of the Shepherd. He then took him to the next level at the burning bush, God called him and then he was able to hear the voice of God... (I’m not ashamed of the Gospel)...That God called you does not mean that everything is okay with you. God also called Moses too but it did not mean that everything was okay with him.

In John 11:25, Jesus said to Martha, “Your brother will rise again.” When Jesus arrived at the scene, the written word and spoken word became alive. Martha knew only the written word (John11:24) but it was only when Jesus showed up that the written and spoken word was revealed to her as the living word.

The Gospel of death comes first after which comes the Gospel of Resurrection (John.11:24-26). The only way to live is to die. Jesus stayed for four days for Lazarus to die and begin to smell. We must not only ‘die’ to self but also ‘smell’, not physically but by losing our Soulish life which remains an abode for the worldly good/affiliations. This is the way the soul journeys into the Spirit.

From 1965 I’ve been enjoying the Gospel of love though I was sick in my soul but in 1983 God brought me into the next level which is the Gospel of death as seen in Colossians 3: 3. “For you are dead and your life is hid with Christ in God”. To die is not easy, but we must go through it every day. After these experiences I began to experience some changes in my life, and I began to search for people who had similar experiences until my daughter in the lord told me of his servant in this vineyard, Rev. Kayode Oyegoke.

This life is real, but it has a price to be paid. This is my joy that I die daily.

This is what I always tell God, ”there is something that is always bothering me, and I know it is real but I can’t seem to reach it. I know there is something, I heard of Enoch and Elijah who were both born of women but Lord can I taste the death that will give me a better resurrection?” If an evil spirit can possess a man to do extraordinary things how much more when the Spirit of the Living God possesses a man? Lord that I may be so possessed by you. The truth really is this; I’ve not done anything, or will do anything in this life other than to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and if there is any other work, please count me out.

So Jesus cried out to Martha “...Do you believe this?” (John11: 26). I am not ashamed of the Gospel with all its contradictions; I count everything but dung for the excellence of winning Christ.

The Glory of this Gospel is incomprehensible; it is from one level to another, whenever you see contradictions in your life just know that God is up to raising you to another level. Death is inevitable, it a simple thing once you understand it.

Dearly Beloved,

It is with great excitement & fear that I invite you to be A PARTAKER of a 3-day BELIEVERS CONVENTION that promises to be an avenue for Heaven To Speak Expressly Though His Exalted Son, the only certified speaker/builder of the church, who would be prevailing with BLESSINGS BEYOND THE MINISTRY OF HIS HANDS by revealing himself like he did unto the early Apostles who once mourned (waited) and left us with living words (the epistles) meant to reconcile us with the throne!

Pls consider not being a spectator of another seemingly ‘manger experience’ taking place with the maiden edition titled HEIRS OF HIS GLORIOUS POWER @ The Hub, 1st Floor, Gateway Business Centre, 210 Church Road, Leyton E107 JQ, London. Thur. & Fri 6:00pm – 10:00pm, Sat. @ 10:00am & 3:00pm-7:00pm, Sept. 8th-10th

ANOTHER MOVE OF THE SPIRIT has tarried for so long and this meeting promises to be an avenue for ministering Spirits (Heb. 1:14) to be engaged by the throne in procuring a genuine breakthrough!
