Dearly
Beloved,
I bless the name of the Lord for an increase
of fountains of illumination in the church that would reduce the enemy from the
air (Eph. 2:2) where he violently continues to exercise a height advantage over
humanity (Lk. 10:18/Ps. 110:1c/Rev. 12:9).
Lk.
10:18 And
he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven
- ‘Heaven’ here has to do with the realm of authority over the earth, initially owned by Adam but later mortgaged as his descendants settled for an anti-faith civilization whereby sin reigned
- A GENERATION OF SAINTS ARE THEREFORE EMERGING ON EARTH that would LOVE NOT THEIR LIVES UNTO DEATH, having received God’s commandment to LOVE LIKE THE TRINITY LOVES (Heb. 12:4/Rev. 12:11c/Jn. 15:13)
- They would cause a chain reaction that would end Satan’s reign and their cause would earn God’s greatest resources now resident/hidden in Christ Jesus.
The following transcribed message is
another precept that unveils Love the separation
process that would give birth to such company of overcomers
Graceful reading!
LOVE,
The Commandment of The Beginning - Part 6
Scriptural
reading: 1 John 3:10/Matt. 13:24-30
·
"In
this the children of God are made manifest and of the devil" – 1Jn. 3:10.
·
Manifestation
of the sons of God is not about being the best here on earth or about taking
over what has been occupied by the enemy on earth e.g., taking over the
government, etc. Neither is it to show people that we serve the Living God.
·
All
these wrong mindsets about manifestations could deceive us in this Eternal Life
movement/destination. But if we know the destination and the ultimate goal of
why we're here, then the issue of where is mankind heading to will be of
paramount importance to our hearts.
·
Preaching
on TV is neither the evidence of fruitfulness nor the manifestation of Eternal
Life. Indeed, you can be anointed with the Holy Ghost to teach through any
medium yet have not or show forth this Eternal Life in TRUTH and DEED – 1Jn.
3:18.
·
Can we therefore look at manifestation as COMING TO THE FULLNESS OF
THE NATURE OF CHRIST because what John the divine was saying in 1Jn.
3:10 is a nature thing; it’s about coming into a nature that is divine and not
any other activity!
·
The
believers John was addressing had not yet come into this life just like we also
haven’t come into full blown manifestation of the life of God though we have
that seed already in us (Mathew 13:24) i.e. in our spirit man.
·
The confirmation and full manifestation will be when the life that you currently live in the
flesh will be equivalent to God's life. In other words, if the Lord were to
come to earth now, we would have been living (Gal. 2:20) the same way he would once
lived while on earth. That is what manifestation of eternal life means.
Gal.
2:20 ….and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of
God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
·
The emphasis of the spirit is therefore
that the time of manifestation of God's life and nature is at hand! Before, he
permitted the tares to grow with the wheat, but now is that time of separation
(Mathew 13:24-30), and what will mature this seed to full blown
manifestation is LOVE.
·
Love
is the bond of the perfection of the fullness of eternal life (Col. 3:14). Love
is what will separate us from children of the enemy.
·
As
that seed of Eternal Life grows in us, LOVE is supposed to be growing and we're
supposed to be getting better in our love walk UNTIL IT BECOMES A NATURE IN US.
·
It
is this love nature in us that would make God testify "This Is My Life And
You'll Get Glory And Honor For Manifesting It" i.e. the order of glory
wherein he would attest to us as "This is my beloved son in whom I am well
pleased". He won't attest this about us, if we're not CONSISTENT in
showing forth His life (His love).
·
This is reality of what God is up to and
has begun to do! It’s the promise he has given us called Eternal Life – 1Jn.
2:25. I say it again, "It's POSSIBLE to
lay hold on this Life- it's possible to overcome this present constitution
(the tares configured by the enemy in our hearts) that is not yielding to the
divine nature. HOW? Through the commandment given us (Love Thy Brethren), we're
moving to our destination, we're coming into the Divine nature.
·
He that sows the good seed is the Son
of man, because he possesses that authority. As he’s sowing, New Testament priests
on earth are planting and watering with him (1Cor. 3:6). The good seed are the
children of the Kingdom, meaning the children of the Kingdom are those who have
received this seed and allowed it to Change Their Nature. The tares are the
children of the wicked one.
·
Seeds
are being sown, and that which is sown will reconfigure the nature of men so you’ll see different types of
nature mainly the divine nature as a result of the seed of Life and then the
other nature from the tares.
·
In
the parable of the wheat/tares, the seed is sown not in the spirit in the heart
(i.e. the soul) because though we are regenerated in our human spirit, we still
sin in our souls where iniquity is being carried out. The real change of nature
will come from what has been sown in the heart. We're
getting to the point of separation. How? Separation by Growth In Our Love Walk: separation by manifesting the Life of the
Trinity.
Eph.
5:2 And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself
for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savor.
·
He
that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit is saying. In the book of
Revelation, when those words are spoken, it's for emphasis. If you have ears to
hear, hear what the Spirit is saying.
·
As we are drawing to the point of manifesting
eternal life, one fearful thing is that hearts that will want to draw back. Fear is that thing that will
want us to draw back but God will deal with it so that we can continue in the
Father and the Son (1Jn. 2:25) because of the Promise of coming into his rest.
Heb. 10:38 Now the
just shall live by faith: but if any man
draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.
·
Let’s
pray for a heart that will continue; that will not draw back.
·
In
the days of harvest, all that has been sown would fully mature but there is a kind
of heart that won’t mature which has to be dealt with now. One type of heart makes light of weighty words and despises
spiritual things of grave importance. Such a heart that despises the truth is in
a dangerous state. Such a heart may not
even make heaven which was initially his goal but Because He Can’t Continue in the Father and the Son, He’ll Find Himself
Departing.
1Jn 2:19 They went
out from us, but they were not of us (i.e. true seekers of love/eternal life);
for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but
they went out, that they might be made
manifest that they were not ALL of us.
·
Personally,
I’ve been praying for zest to pursue. Anyone that strives for mastery does so
according to the rule because you need to get the crown. In Olympics, you go
through rigors to compete; there’s something in your heart that makes you go
through the rigors and practice for to win that tournament. But lo, this
striving is for A PERISHABLE CROWN (1Cor.
9:25).
·
Tournament
runners are focused; nothing else matters to them. They prepare for years, some
even 10years. It’s only Nigerians that poorly prepare for just three months. I
don’t want us to pursue this eternal life thing like that. Serious people
CANCEL other things. “No one that wars entangles himself with the affairs of
this life – 2Tim. 2:4
·
Pray
for zest to pursue this life; that we will not give undue attention to any
other thing. Pray for spiritual strength to continue.
·
The reason why they couldn’t separate
Balaam from the life of the tares (death/darkness) was because of where his
heart was cleaving unto. His Heart Was Already Joined To The Reward Of That
Other Life; that is why it was called, “The
Reward of Balaam”. Even God couldn’t turn Balaam’s heart from the reward. The
Lord went to the extent of using a donkey to speak to him in vain. Can our
hearts cling to the reward of eternal life such that nothing can turn our
hearts from it?
