Beloved,
I learnt of Nigeria's delegation to the Olympic, comprising about 200 out of which only 51 were athletes! Hmm. I also heard folks vent their opinions on the countries poor performance... I wish the arm of flesh (corruption watch-dogs) available today could quickly help us tame corruption....
I learnt of one country's (undisclosed) desperation to fetch more gold at the Olympics, that in their quest to compete with countries like USA who rank high in gold, they aggressively hunt for capable potential athletics etc, desperately/forcefully recruit some and take them through rigorous preparations years ahead of each competition... Hmmm
I learnt of the Olympic sex-village on a cable network, and just realized it’s a common norm for athletes to exploit/enjoy themselves and the committee in charge has only said they would probe the unofficial use of condoms at the sex village despite the distribution of accepted condoms.... i.e. not the fact that illegitimate sex is a part of the event.. and i asked myself if this whole glamorous thing is not one of the things highly esteemed by men and if it is finally acceptable in the sight of God like it is in my/our eyes?... Lk. 16:15 remains one of the most unfriendly statements of Jesus to all generations including ours... I hope to fully agree with Jesus here 'someday' and come into the fellowship called the Sight of God someday
See a recent quote on such on the last Olympic…some of the unbudgeted cost involved in bringing the world together:
"(Sex) is common at the Olympics. It's necessary. It's natural," Dr. Joao Olyntho Machado Neto said. "If you are going to be healthy people, why not make sex? ... Brazil is very tolerant with sex as a country. We don't have Victorian minds and we're not religious." Ivory Coast swimmer Kouassi Brou was one of the youngest competitors in Beijing at 16, but he's grown up now. And ready for some Olympic love. "In 2008 I was so young and so shy, so I didn't interact with the women," the 20-year-old Brou said. "But now I'm a big man. So I can try. I will try." And he's clear about his ambitions. "If they are beautiful, it's OK," he said. Thousands of free condoms will be available. Organizers have heard enough about village antics from previous games to know there will be heavy demand by athletes for contraception. Solo recalled seeing competitors having sex out in the open in Beijing." http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/07/18/olympic-village-sex-london-party_n_1684522.html
I watched the synchronized swimming real time... Waoh! Trilling!! The world has sought and attained a high level of perfection!!! The church is still is gradually being liberated from mindsets that makes her wish perfection is possible, though written in black and white as a commandment (Matt. 5:48) that we be perfect even as our father which in heaven is perfect.

I watched quite some of the lawn tennis events men/women, 'enjoyed' it but saw numerous expressions described by Solomon as ‘Vexation of the spirit’ in and out of each tournament. I went to Ecclesiastes and realized many references to it as part of the package that comes with activities UNDER THE SUN (The Present/Old Creation). I then agreed though in an age of grace, that i am yet to see some of what Solomon saw and therefore wrote Eccl. chapter 12.13-14. I now agree that everything traceable to Adam/The fall/The Present has the capacity to be a veil to Seeking The New which was described as a City with a foundation (i.e. the foundation of the present remains shaky waters - Ps. 24:1-2 ).
… and my response was:
- OH THAT THE ARCHITECT OF THE PRESENT WORLD WAS GOD, SO PASSIONATE MEN WITH A GOAL OF MAKING THIS WORLD A BETTER PLACE WOULD BE COMFORTED AND NOT KEEP CHASING AFTER THE WIND
- Oh that the unknown cosmos/state of the New creation, which only our recreated human spirit has experienced could be sought by hearts that have not been fashioned like Father Abraham's heart was, so all could partake in the glory thereof.
- Oh that the earth in all its so called beauty, pomp and pageantry would not be later folded like a garment (Isa. 34:4/Heb. 1:12) and depart hastily at the ultimate revelation of God's face (Rev. 20:11), having been starved of that blessed experience for dispensations/centuries.
- Oh that believers would endure the consuming fire called God by subscribing to words of righteousness which remains foreign to our soulish constitution, that they might be purified into lively/living stones
- OH THAT GOD WAS PLEASED WITH THE PRESENT, LIKE MY GENERATION IS AT EASE WITH IT, OH THAT IT WOULD SURVIVE THE SHAKING PROPHESIED OF OLD (HEB. 12:27) WHICH HAS ALREADY STARTED
- Then would preachers of righteousness cease to be at logger heads with God's people and proclaim peace when actually the earth is in disharmony with the heavens
- THEN WOULD GOLGOTHA CEASE TO BE THE MOST A BEAUTIFUL PLACE ON EARTH.
Fortunately and
unfortunately for man, access to the New/The New Creation has been procured for
us, though not yet real to us (therefore DO WE HARDLY LOOK FOR/HASTEN UNTO IT -
2Pet. 3:12), the present remains obsolete and would have to be always
relegated so we come into appreciation of The New wherein dwells Righteousness.
The present has been well polished, seems it would endure forever, looks united and as glorious and glamorous as an Olympic opening day ceremony projects, BUT ITS NOT WORTH BEING BEHELD BY GOD BECAUSE IT HASN'T BEEN SEPARATED NEITHER CAN IT BE. Which kind God be this self?
I still hope i can see a close match to THE BEST/IMMEASURABLE USE OF THE SOUL UNDER THE SUN, WHICH TO ME IS TO SEEK AND SWALLOW GOD, WHILE IN THE DAYS OF OUR FLESH!
While using the world and not abusing it (1Cor.7:31), we may watch everything ongoing, pray for them for salvation/the kingdom to come (Rev. 12:10), we must love them, trust God that our country would be free from corruption not primarily so we can feature better athletes or compete better with other nations in sports/economically but be an ensign to other nations like God once desired to do through Israel in the flesh. Above all, we must agree with the appraisal of the Holy Apostles that THE WORLD IS FADING/PASSING AWAY! 1Cor. 7:31

- A new day called TODAY has been opened up in God through Christ! It’s a day when the Lord has resolved to Teaching Us To Number Our Days according to the Spirit/Spiritual Wisdom (Ps. 90:12)
- It’s a day the Lord has gone ahead of us to prepare us for (Jn. 14:2c) and he demands we gradually relinquish that which we have known and celebrated as our day i.e. the day of the old creation/old man called yesterday, which was actually never ours but well packaged and sold to us by an enemy.
- It’s a day that resides in the kingdom, introduced by the writing of New Laws in our heart and minds through declarations of spiritual wisdom from the speaker and builder of the house (Heb. 1:2/3:3-6)
- BEHOLD, A NEW DAY IS BEFORE US AND WE MUST DISCERN AND RECEIVE RIGHTEOUS JUDGEMENTS TO DISOBEY EVERYTHING TRACEABLE TO THE OLD DAY, THE DAY THAT GOVERNS THE NATURAL MAN.
Bless
You!
