Dearly Beloved,
I
was greatly encouraged when a colleague at work summarized part one of this
series by saying “it sought to encourage believers to Seek Things
That Are OF GOD and not just Seek Things That Are FROM GOD as preeminent in the church today! I trust the Lord to
hereby build on this analysis and subsequently pay homage to why Words From God contained in the bible
is different from the veiled meaning of the Word of God.
One of the greatest
abuse among believers today is the use of the soul, i.e. the use of the mind and by extension, the heart. I see it daily and I personally trust the Lord to help me deal
with every residual or unknown ways I fall short here because minds that would
inherit the things OF GOD (inherit
God) which are deep in nature (1Cor.2:10) cannot be used like the ‘average
believer’ does today, see the early church! Many things despised by
the-God-we-believe-in-but-do-not-know, have been highly esteemed by men (Lk. 16:15) and hyped
by the wisdom of fallen spirits and such legitimate things on the surface
account for a large percentage of what we engage our minds in today. Selah
The
world has been feasted with ‘legitimate’ things that would perpetually keep our
minds busy ‘beating the air’ (1Cor.9:26) and the question is ‘why are we
preparing to learn of Things OF GOD when we get to heaven’? The epistles was written by resurrected minds so it hasn’t been reviewed
or even easily understood till date, unlike books written by men! They
used their minds in a very different way from you and I! I am trying to say
that ‘It once took and still takes
prisoners of Christ (Eph.3:1)
to accurately understand Things That Are OF GOD and
Only Such Souls Would Inherit God which takes place Before We Get To Heaven’! Many earthly advanced minds have invaded pulpits today and
therefore can’t get the job of dealing with corruption in the souls of
believers (2Pet.1:4).
Things OF GOD are not things
present, so the destiny of believers are being shortchanged when ministrations
they hear solely relate to their natural life! They are not things known to the intellectuals (the wise
men) of this world (1Cor.20-21/27). They are things fabricated for the New Creation, not for the present Old Creation that is aging due to the
effect of corruption on all created things, including man, and therefore
everything that has interacted with corruption including the present heavens/earth would have to be rolled away (Heb.1:10-12).
Eyes have neither seen them, nor ears heard them (1Cor 2:9)!
Glorious angels that have been faithful to God for ages desire to see (i.e.
understand) it, but it isn’t given to them (Heb.2:5/1Pet.1:12)! It was given to believers who unfortunately seek
something else, low things like The American
Dream, ephemeral things that can’t endure but pass away, things that lack
the properties of Righteousness (1Pet.1:4)! Little wonder why another generation of
believers are unconsciously despising The
Revelations of Righteousness (Rom.1:16-17) that is primarily dispensed IN THE EPISTLES and not in THE INTRODUCTORY ASPECT of the Gospel
i.e. Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
2Cor5:17 ‘Therefore if any man be in Christ, he
is A New Creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become
new. (i.e. our recreated human spirit is a citizen of a new world that is yet
to manifest and is seated with Christ in heavenly places, but the Soul needs to
be thoroughly feed with Things OF GOD
to attain/inherit the new creation state)
Things
OF God are of the class of the
throne of God, routed through New Testament revelations. They are BORN OF GOD (1Cor.2:7&10/1Jn.5:4)
i.e. processed
through what can be described as the ‘womb of the Godhead’ (Isa.46:3), and therefore emanate with a superior
fabric than the angelic world (fallen or not) can comprehend. They are ‘forever and ever’ compliant (Heb. 1:8). They are things that Satan is clueless
of and partaking of them would cause a believer to humiliate Satan and his
cohorts like the Apostles of the lamb did and thereafter check into heaven glorious, as An Overcomer not like the thief on the
cross! They are the inexhaustible,
undefiled, incorruptible inheritance that can only be housed by THE SOUL, which
makes it the most mysterious aspect of man (1Pet.1:4/9)!
1Jn. 5:4 For whatsoever is born OF GOD overcometh (is superior than Satan’s
main invention i.e. corruption) the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world,
even our faith.
(i.e.
the Faith of The New Testament is Born
OF God and therefore different
from the Faith Towards God exploits of Mk. 11:23/Heb.6:1-2/11:1-39a and is
therefore superior/precious – 2Pet.1:1)
May
we be a part of the remnant that the Lord is raising, those who would
understand the perimeters of the Things
OF God like men know and can skillfully analyze football today. Amen
Bless
You!
kindly
forward to your circle of influence if agree and have been blessed by it
