Non-Negotiable Counsels of God's Kingdom - Part 9

Dearly Beloved,
 

It might interest you to know that various religious or civilized mindsets have robbed believers of coming into stature (Eph. 4:1) much more than armed and unarmed robbers have robbed men and nations of their earthly good till date.

 
What else can I say but that flesh and blood could not have revealed this but our father who art in heaven, who has resolved to end the prevailing grassy state of man (Isa. 40:6/1Pet. 1:24) and thereby reproduce many Christ-dominated believers (Heb. 2:10) in his church.

Like I once found grace to say, ‘THE TRUE CHRISTIAN FAITH IS GRADUALLY  BEING UNMASKED’.

Graceful reading!

 

Non-Negotiable Counsels of God's Kingdom - Part 9

 

Scriptural reading Text: John 3:2-11

Often times when we hear the word ‘Kingdom’, what comes to our mind is rulership or dominion because of the way natural kingdoms are arrayed and this beclouds our minds against God’s order of kingdom. Of a truth, we will judge angels by reason of growth, but the kingdom is a place of service. All who have entered the kingdom are servants in their categories and the greatest servant is our Lord Jesus Christ.

 

When Apostle Paul said, ‘I being less than the least of all saints (Eph. 3 vs 8)’; that is a pedigree in the Spirit. It is not easy to become less than the least because it takes a lot of stature. When you get to the foundation of the city in the world to come (Rev. 21:14), you will see the name of the 12 apostles there and realize Peter the Apostle is not his name. The operation he got from God will form part of the foundation of the city, because of his height of meekness. Apostle Paul’s letters were mighty but his appearance was weak.

When Apostle Paul made that statement in Eph. 3:8, he was probably the holiest man on earth.  The least of us all is our Lord. Why? Because He did what no nobody could do. Though He was God, He thought it not robbery to be equal with God but He took upon Himself the form of a servant and humbled Himself (Phil. 2:5–8). Descending from the throne was humility but Jesus went further by humbling himself to the point of death, even the death of the cross therefore becoming the greatest servant amongst men.

It takes stature to be a servant because it is not common among men. When you tell a servant to go and wash a car, it is nothing to him because that is his job. But when you tell a king to go and wash a car and he does so, that is something new.

The sower in Matt.13:24–30 sowed good seeds which is the seed of the kingdom and it is only God that has good seeds. No man is good but God. These are the seeds He gave the Son and grew the Son with. So he planted seeds in the field and when the servants went to check, they saw another plant growing alongside the seed which the enemy planted when men slept.

Our weakness is our slumbering, not physically sleeping because that is God’s provision. When the Bible says, ‘God neither sleeps nor slumbers’, it means there is no time He responds to death. Sleeping and slumbering are expressions of death. We still have places in us that we are asleep, places where we are not fully awake to the Lord and Satan takes advantage of us and plants his seed

 You can see what happened to the church when the enemy fanned her into a deep sleep. As she slept, Satan was planting seeds. By the time she woke up, quite some damages had been done, but God said ‘I am very confident of this good seed which the evil seed cannot choke’.

 
The tare and the wheat look alike; you can never differentiate them. The tare can camouflage and bring something that look like the kingdom but it is not. The master later said, ‘leave them until the end of the age when we will know the difference’. When they are fully ripe, the wheat will bow because of weight (truth) but the tare will stand upright because it has no weight on it.

 Once you start carrying the fruits of the kingdom, it will make you to bow which is in different levels. Some of the fruits fell to the ground representing men of the kingdom who are servants.  Some of them are unknown to others because they don’t have anything external.

The kingdom of God is not a place for exercising authority like the gentiles do but a call to responsibility and service. Rev. 22 :3 therefore says “The throne of God and the Lamb will be there and their servants shall serve them”. When throne comes, service has come.

By the time the apostles’ began to write epistles, what was foremost in their greetings was their servanthood not even their apostolic office. So an Apostle Paul would declare himself as a bond servant/prisoner and apostle of Christ (Eph. 3:1). An Apostle Peter would say ‘Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ’ (2Pet. 1:1). The disciples of Jesus started their ministry as apostles but after a while, they became servants. What was sustaining their apostolic power and grace was their servitude.

 If there is anything like competition in the kingdom, it will be to prevail in servitude but you cannot find that among men. So the civilization of God’s kingdom is different from earthly kingdom.

 
No man can out-do Jesus in serving. Some people are saying, ‘Lord, I have been serving you for long, what is my reward?’ If God should show you a little of how much service He has rendered to you, you will be shocked. Can you go to the cross? That is why after we finish our service for God on earth, we should be willing to say ‘we only did what we are asked to do and are unprofitable servants’ (Lk. 17:10). The reason is because we did not manufacture service but were taught by him and so we have no boast.

What makes us want to exercise authority is that old man – Satan. The kingdom emanates from the womb of the morning (Ps. 110:3); that is where all of them dwell: The Father, the Son, the Holy Ghost and others whom abundant entrance has been administered to (2Pet. 1:11)

 What gave birth to this old man and the new man was two kind of womb. What birthed the old man was a womb of the flesh which is this world and Satan’s kingdom. Anyone that enters the world will come out wearied and old. So the process of conversion is to cut down the present man, to crack that building called man. In our Biology, they call it homo – erectors but God does not like that erectness and wants us to be as malleable as the wind; He wants us bowed at heart like servants are. Not bowed as in bondage but in delightful submission.

In Jn. 3, Jesus began to speak to Nicodemus about another womb of the Spirit how a man can gain entrance into that womb, which is the womb of the morning. There are no old men there; all of them are children. The greatest of them is the Father. His is the freshest baby! That is the secret of immortality. It is in the womb of the Morning that you can get that dew.

The reason Jesus has the strength to serve is because of the dew of His youth (Ps. 110:3). It took some unusual strength to die on the cross. Such strength was because of the dew of His youth so Jesus is telling us that we can access the womb of the Morning just as a child accesses nutrition from his mother through an umbilical cord

The process of converting a man into a baby is beyond man. The conversion is not in the physical body but in the soul, though your body will also come into it subsequently. From eternity to eternity, Jesus will still remain as young as He is right now and the reason for that is because of the dew He gets from the womb.

Matt. 18:3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

 

 There is another kind of dew in the womb of the flesh (the world) that comes upon men and kills them by tampering with their ability to serve God.

 The process of reducing a man and converting him from one form to another can only be done by the good seed. So when a man is receiving the seed of the kingdom, he is being converted (Lk. 22:32). After a while, the receiving of the dealings of that seed will cause him to become a little baby because it is only babies that can enter the womb. The smaller you are, the more access you have to the kingdom, because narrow is the way and straight is the gate that leads to the kingdom.

 

Lk. 22:32 But I have prayed for thee (Simon Peter) that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.

When you get to the gate of the kingdom, there is a required size because is a very tiny gate. It is not that is tiny, it is just that it does not give entrance to people that have the stature of flesh. Their members will not be able to enter that is why He says, ‘If your hand causes you to offend, cut it off’, because the path is narrow.’                

 You need to be small to enter the kingdom but men do not like to be small. When a man of God goes to the mountain to pray, most of the time, his prayer is ‘Lord increase me; let my ministry blossom, etc.’ but very few men go to mountain and pray that God will reduce them. Such a prayer is alien. What we are taught to pray is Lord increase me. Please understand my language, I am not saying God is against physical increase. I am just saying if it comes to the issue of entrance into the kingdom, it is small (meek) man that can find it.

 You need to be converted into a child to gain entrance into that gate so Jesus was described in Acts 4:30 as such, a little child. It is not easy to pray to become small; nobody likes it. Man likes to vaunt himself but such isn’t entertained in the kingdom. How did the creator become a servant? While Jesus was in the house of Joseph, he was sending Him (his creator) on errands and He never for one day said, ‘Joseph, I just want to say this that do you know I am your Lord and Creator’? Such is the mind of Christ and we need to have such mind.

What Jesus did was an impossibility to man’s thinking. For the creator to stay in Mary’s womb for nine months, that was because they (the Godhead) are used to wombs. Such is their dwelling place. Children don’t refuse when asked to carry out a task. It is only when corruption has worked on such a child that he would behave otherwise.

What kind of being is the trinity for the creator to be serving creatures? We can understand when a creature is serving his creator but it’s a mystery for the creator to serve the creature. At age twelve when Jesus’ parents came to look for Him, He said, ‘Do you not know I should be about my Father’s business?’ He (the creator) followed them and submitted to them for another eighteen years. He carried woods for them and washed clothes for His younger ones and that was why they could despise Him. Jesus had to veil himself to them.

After His resurrection, He would have gone to Pilate and proved to him that He was the King of the Jews, but He did not. Apart from His stature, another reason why angels worship Him is because of what He did, which they cannot do it. THE KINGDOM IS A CRUCIFIED LIFE.

Bless You!

Non-Negotiable Counsels of God's Kingdom - Part 8

Dearly beloved,

One of the most profound counsels declared at a meeting about a decade ago was that “we should acquire enough divine life for the days ahead by digging deep into New Testament Provisions of Truth” and you may agree with me today that this is the only guaranteed immunization that would keep our souls and bodies above the reach of evil one (1Jn. 5:18c).

Little wonder why the reign of spiritual death (Rom. 5:14) only depreciated when a man with a priestly stature (Moses) was raised, but today, a higher degree of the reign of sin and death has ravished souls with impunity, reduced life expectancy of nations and given birth to viruses like Ebola disease which has defied medicine and for now would only surrender to God’s immunization/prescription.

The lord has good news for discerning saints, and he is reiterating that “the diseases of the soul (Ps. 103:3b/Eze. 18:4/Rom. 8:13) should be addressed long before it begins to shut down the human body”.

Matt. 4:4 Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God

 
Graceful reading!
 

Non-Negotiable Counsels of God's Kingdom - Part 8

We can shout in church and engage in various activities but that does not necessarily translate to worship. To begin true worship, our bodies must be presented a living sacrifice (Rom. 12:1). Our bodies must cross the line of the natural and must be spiritual, meaning bodies must be prepared for spiritual engagement.

If you are making confessions but walking after the flesh, it won’t work. You must walk against the law in the flesh. Inside your body are unseen laws. A microscope can sight bacteria and all sorts in the body but you cannot see sin that way. Sin rules earthly kings and the only person sin does not rule is our Lord Jesus Christ.

The reason why Jesus came was to deal with sin (Rom. 8). When we were quickened (Eph. 2:1), we were brought into a pedestal of faith and had access to grace wherein we stand (Rom. 5:1). It is an invisible plane where you own nothing. Sin taught us to rely on physical evidences. Anyone who trusts in sin will trust in natural evidences. Anything that is not of faith is sin (Rom. 14:23)
 

When the Bible says; ‘If we continue in sin’ (Rom. 6:1), it is not just spiritual the acts of the works of flesh, but rather about our stand where our thoughts fall short of his righteousness. The righteousness we have held unto hitherto negates the true law that reveals righteousness and therefore is sinful. As long as the ground we stand is not that which is revealed by the Spirit, it is sinking sand.  Rom. 1:16–17

Sin took the Law of Moses and was playing with it. Sin played with the Pharisees, the doctors of the law. They became exceedingly sinful and killed the Prince of Life. That was sin but it was righteousness to them. God has to import into our universe a higher righteousness beyond the understanding of sin. Sin cannot understand the righteousness of God.

 

ANYTHING SIN CAN SEE IS IN TROUBLE. If sin can see it, it will capture it. That is why our life is not kept here, but kept far above all principalities and powers. So when you want to understand the interpretation of your life, it must come by revelation. If it is not by revelation, it is wrong and inferior to sin

 Some preachers have not been cultured with a mind that can pick things of the Spirit by revelation and therefore remain carnally minded. Sin will ride any form of religion because it created it. SIN IS A SOLUTION FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO BE RIGHTEOUS BY THEMSELVES. You need revelations to beat the devices of the enemy. YOU HAVE TO BE WISER THAN SATAN AND THE ONLY WAY IS BY REVELATION (Gal. 1:12). God needs to give you what Satan cannot know and show you what his wisdom can’t comprehend. 

When sin discovers that a preacher is becoming too tough, sin will strategize on how to handle him. You can be preaching against sin and yet serving sin unknowingly. When the woman was caught in very act of adultery, they brought her to Jesus with a plan to stone her to death. They had enjoyed stoning to the extent that they did it without mercy, but Jesus set that woman free by one righteous judgment.

We need to be equipped with the things of the Spirit and thereby walk in the Spirit by faith. Faith is the law of entrance into the spiritual. Believing God for money is not the primary essence of faith. You can receive things from God’s hands without a walk in the spirit, but God wants men to walk in the Spirit because Satan has stopped men from doing so.

 

Check the era of Adam and you would see that men could live nearly a thousand years after Adam died in Eden, but afterwards, men dropped because sin entered into their flesh.  The body was not meant for sin though men have acclimatized the body with sin. Sin has now dominated and cultured it, and you can’t get freedom by confessing sin out of your body out. It got there through a walk and it would take a walk to get it out

There were disobediences that men rendered unto sin, which gave sin a ground to hold the body captive. The work load of sin cannot be worked out except you undo it by another walk. Immediately you got born again, you become a candidate for freedom but this has been tied to walking in the Spirit.

Though the Holy Spirit resides in you, He is waiting for you to fulfill obedience before He will quicken your mortal body (Rom. 8:11). If the Holy Spirit goes ahead to quicken our bodies without a spiritual walk, sin will question Him. There are many children of God with no legs (in their soul) to walk in the Spirit. Many haven’t developed the feet for God’s path and have feeble knees while others have been hurt and cannot walk.

John the Baptist sent people to ask Jesus; ‘Are you the one to come or we should wait for another?’ Jesus said; ‘Go tell John the blind see, the lame walk and the deaf hear’ and he wasn’t referring to physical sight or healing of physical body because John was a preacher of the way/knowledge (Lk. 1:77) and did no miracles! He was simply trying to ask Jesus “are you doing the same job I have done”. So Jesus said “go tell him that the spiritual lame have started walking and spiritually blinds souls who sit in darkness for generations have seen a great light”. Now I am healing their legs and strengthening their feet for a walk. WALK HAS STARTED. John must have been happy that God’s agenda was being fulfilled.

The Lord God Almighty is rising great generation of great walkers, in their millions, such that the earth has never seen before. They will neither continue the order of just asking God for bread due to weakness and lameness nor would they remain in one position of making confessions but they would grow and make movement in the Spirit. THIS IS THE TIME TO WALK. If you want to confess when you are walking, that is allowed, but if you are not walking but only confessing, you are just wasting your time.            

To walk accurately in the Spirit, you need an adequate download of faith from a dimension of righteousness that is higher than sin, because sin has taught all men how to walk by sight. Anybody walking by sight is a sinner (Heb. 10:38a). A sinner who can be taught is the meek one (Ps. 25:8–9). A believer who hasn’t experienced the remission of sins = Mark 4:12/Acts 26:18) is a sinner (Jn. 1:8). A sinner who is meek is higher than someone who is born again but isn’t meek (teachable). Somebody can be born again but yet, isn’t meek and such a one can go to heaven with his soul still accustomed to committing sin.

Ps. 25:8-9 Good and upright is the LORD: therefore will he teach sinners in the way (of the Lord). The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.

As long as you are not operating by the principle of faith, you are walking by sight like unbelievers do. Such a one isn’t living in God’s sight. You can only have life when you live outside what you see with your natural sight. Righteous people are those who are blind and dead to the principles of death. They are blind to the use of natural sight but their inner eyes (Eph. 1:18) is at work. They no longer use neither the light of the sun nor the light of the moon to walk (i.e outer court) but rather, the light in the tabernacle (holy place illuminated with the seven golden candlesticks - Isa. 11:2). God has given to them the spirit of wisdom and revelation to knowledge Him (Eph. 1:17).

You cannot operate in the light of the faith of the Son of God or the righteousness of God without your eyes being opened. The day God opens your eyes and gives you the spirit of wisdom and revelation, you cease to walk like mere men do. You will see what unbelievers and many believers are not seeing. Your eyes will see another hope and the reason for living will be brought to you. Veils will be rent and you will walk in the path of safety and victory and as you do, He will begin to quicken and awaken your body back to life you because you are fulfilling obedience. As you do that, you are offering a reasonable service and presenting your body a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable unto God. (Rom. 12:1–2)

Anybody who walks by faith does not conform to this world (Rom. 12:1). This world wants you to walk by the principle of death. The world is a killer and wicked entity. As you walk by faith, you push the world back and your body becomes alive.

We do not owe the flesh anything and we do not need to live after the flesh. The scripture here (Romans 8:13) is addressing brethren and it means a brother can die if he lives after the flesh. Without committing fornication you can spiritually die if you do not live by faith. The sin Christians know is the likes of fornication but that is one of the least sin. WALKING CARNALLY IS REAL SIN. If all your ambition is to walk in the natural, you are walking in death. You are dying because you do not see above this world. When the spirit of wisdom and revelation is given to you, you will see another reason for living which is the hope of His calling. Immediately there is hope, there is life, and if there is life, there is a future (destiny) and a new life has started.

 

What some people know as hope are plans, purposes and pursuits taught by the world. As a man, you are not designed to be an architect or a medical doctor. That is part of what we will do on earth but is not our real purpose. You are higher than architecture. You can be an architect but that is not your real profession. You have a profession and Jesus is the high priest of your profession (Heb. 3:1). You have a profession that needs to be unveiled and that profession is Christ. This profession is called ‘The profession of our faith’.

 

When you are walking by faith, you are actually working but man can’t see it. It is a work in the Spirit. Nobody will pay you on earth for it. In fact, they will slap you and tell you that you have not done anything.  Every labour that is void of faith remains unseen by God. Your natural profession cannot enter the Spirit.  God is aware of the natural work you are doing and He can connect you and use it but your primary profession is Christ. Do not shut down the profession in the Spirit and then elevate that which is low. As a professional in the realm of the spirit, you can also handle the natural, but that is not who you are. You can do many things but be a man of one thing like David (Ps. 27:4). In the face of many things, do one thing (Phil. 3:10). There is one thing that is ahead of you; CHRIST.

The supreme task is not evangelism or even preaching; but to be conformed to His image. It is not an ordinary thing to know Christ and only few come into Him. Apostle Paul said; ‘This is one thing I do’ (Phil. 3:13). He had preached but that was not the one thing that he did. There was something that he did; reaching forth unto the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. You need to reach forth. He said; ‘Not having my own righteousness but that which of faith, the faith of God’.

When you walk by the faith of God, you are reaching forth to the high calling of God in Christ.  Please do this one thing, because I know men do not like this job of conforming to His image. It is a job that seems not to accredit you in the natural. Some preachers have turned Christianity to philanthropy and don’t like talking about be conformed to Christ’s image.

Practicing your profession (i.e. Christ) would cause reactions from the enemy because he hates faith, so Jesus said ‘when I come, will I find faith on earth?  Faith is our profession. God wants you to do what men cannot do. Do not just be limited to what men can do; go beyond that. Tap into the realm of invisible and walk there. When you walk in the Spirit, you make yourself fruitful in every good work (Col. 1:9–10)

Bless You.

Non-Negotiable Counsels of God's Kingdom - Part 7

Dearly beloved,

What can I say? The reason why the corporate church is hardly inching towards God’s Glory as we out to and as designed by the Lord of Glory is because we secretly disagree with the counsels declared in the following transcribed message and in some cases, we are unaware of such.

Graceful reading!

Non-Negotiable Counsels of God's Kingdom - Part 7

For service to be meaningful, saints must present their bodies a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God (Rom. 12:1-2). To become a living sacrifice, you have to obey Romans chapter 8. You must have learnt not to walk after the flesh but after the Spirit. Before you met with Christ, your spirit, soul and body were dead (Eph. 2:1). But after you came to Christ, your spirit becomes life because of righteousness (Rom. 8:10). Many of us are still in a hope state, in the lowest dimension of hope and no matter how much of Mark 11:23-24 faith you use to move the mountains, it won’t move you from hope.

The faith of Mark 11:23-24 cannot take you out of that hope state. The Faith That Will Redeem You From Hope Must Be Faith That Is Equivalent To Eternal Life, the faith of God’s elect (Tit. 1:1), which the apostles came into (Gal. 2:20/1Jn. 5:4). Such is the faith that can fetch life from your spirit into your body

This is not the ‘confessional faith’ that a practicing believer uses when declaring ‘I have life in my body’. You cannot use the mountain moving faith of Mark 11:23-24 to bring eternal life into your body because sin is higher than that faith. Jesus marveled at the faith of the centurion and described it as a great faith (which was scarce in Isreal) though he wasn’t born again (Matt. 8:10). But such faith cannot move sin. The intelligence of sin is faster than the movement of hat faith. The faith of Mark 11:23-24 is lower than sin, but there was a faith that Jesus lived by, which has the capacity to mortify sin in your mortal body.

This is an order of faith that you can’t come into by mire confessions. A great blessing to the body by name Rev. Kenneth E. Hagin was mightily used by the Lord to teach a law of faith that enabled us to received things from God as young believers. He was sent to teach faith when the Body of Christ was in darkness, when many were born again but did not even know that they were. Way back then, it was hard for people to receive the Holy Ghost and some thought that before they could, they must confess their sins while some others would tarry for days just to receive the Holy Ghost. There was no knowledge then and men were so weak and couldn’t believe in God.

When Jesus came to the earth, He had an agenda to move a very high faith into the earth but men couldn’t take it; so He had to start from somewhere. He started from ‘Oh ye of little faith’ dimension (Matt. 8:26/16:80). When Jesus was relating with men who were not born again, He did not demand too much of faith from them and simply went into the dimension of ‘Oh ye of little faith’. In fact, a man told Jesus; ‘Help thou my unbelief’. That will tell you the state of men then.

Demons know how to demonstrate in order to kill your faith. It is not easy for a carnal man to live by faith. Jesus’ disciples had been casting demons out but they couldn’t handle a particular one until Jesus came. Jesus rebuked the disciples for their unbelief and told them that this does not go out except by fasting and prayer (Mark 9:29). Jesus simply implied that what fasting will do is to bring down your flesh, so that your spirit would find expression

Jesus had to condescend to ‘oh ye of little faith’ dimension and once in a while, He would teach His disciples the word of the kingdom. Whenever Jesus met with anybody that could have faith for miracle and that gave Him hope that man would one day come into God’s kind of faith like he did.

So you cannot confess sin out of your flesh. Such confession is even a wrong stand. Sin came by many leading. We were led from iniquity to iniquity, by dumb idols, philosophies, rudiments of this world, vein deceit (Col. 2:8). You can confess and believe God to have a car, house and earthly things by using Mark 11:23–24, but you cannot ‘confess’ and ‘claim’ the inheritance secured for us by the death of Christ Jesus on the cross.  What Jesus died for on the cross was not to give you money. If Jesus died for poverty, there was no need for God to give money to Solomon because Jesus had not come. Solomon had so much gold but he never knew God as he ought. What Jesus died for was to abolish our SIN problem 

 

Solomon with all his money was still in sin. Sin controls money because it is high than money. Right now the richest entity in our world that owns gold is sin. People that teach believers to ‘take over the world’ are ignorant that all they want to take over has been handled by sin. Sin owns those things and shows such to men so they seek it at the expense of seeking God. That tells you that such things are not true riches (1Tim. 6:17/Lk. 16:11). Any riches sin can access aren’t true riches. Bible even calls it ‘unrighteous mammon’, though you can believe God for it to cater for your carnal needs.

I am not a teacher who teach people how to make money because that is not what I am called to do. There are those who are doing that. I am called to teach how to be free from the crown prince of hell.

Our father Abraham was not looking for unrighteous mammon when he found it; it was added to him. He was a sojourner and a pilgrim on earth. If gold is in anywhere, Satan will get there before men do simply because Satan does not have anything and concentrates on such. He uses them to capture people under his dominion. I am neither teaching poverty nor prosperity. I am preaching how to receive the God’s kingdom.

Every Christian’s level before God is higher than what we brand as ‘a rich man’ or ‘a poor man’. We cannot use the world to define a Christian. Anybody that equates a Christian with a poor man is making a mistake, because that does not count. They cannot use the measurement of the earth to count or qualify you. You are a different person because your riches are not counted in the way unbelievers count riches. You have great provisions of riches in Christ that is beyond your natural imagination.

My pain is that pastors are pressurizing believers to get gold, silver, capture Nigeria oil and take over everything. I am not against that but if that is what we are concentrating on, we are too poor, because the earth is very poor! Within our galactic (the Milky Way), there are nine planets there. Unexplored minerals are in those planets. The whole sun is a mass of burning gas. Satan has taken our globe and has used it to lie to us.

When the Bible says; ‘Jesus was made poor that we might become rich’, it wasn’t saying he was lacking money, but rather, he left an estate of unfathomable glory, visited a poor domain called earth and took the form of man which was a kind of death (Phil. 2:8). To be made a man was poverty to him.

The true fun is to be higher than the earth. If you can just go up and move into the first realm of the angelic, you are a very rich being. The things that disturb men will not disturb you. God showed Solomon that he was a poor boy by the comparing him with the flower of the field (Matt. 6:28–29). Solomon put on clothes but flowers develops their clothing and do live.

Poverty has to do with the within configuration you have and that determines your estate. To be the creator is an estate of riches. When He was in the form of God, He was a rich being but when He became a man, He was made poor. (2Cor. 8:9). So Christ coming into our state as man was poverty.

Imagine you go to the ant’s hill, check ants and you discover some dominate the other with their nuclear weapon. All of them remain ants to you and you can use your leg to trample on them. So is it, the way they look at us from on high with all our arrangement and confidence, we remain low. In the face of the ants, their hill will look like mansion to them, just like our skyscrapers are to us. Theirs is even more original than ours. No man can build what the ants build.

In the colony of ants, some are architects, designers and engineers. I can imagine some ants making discovery of a new colony and then praising themselves. That is how we are in our estate. Solomon said; ‘I consider the estate of a man is not different from the one of a beast’. Solomon became so rich and began to get angry with money. He communed with his heart to know what is called wisdom. He even studied what is called foolishness. He discovered that both wisdom and foolishness were weapons on earth. A wise man can be very foolish and at times and foolish men can be very wise.

Imagine angels in high authority watching us with our skyscrapers and developed cities, how will they look at us? You can now understand when the Bible says; ‘Vanity upon vanity, all is vanity’. How ugly is the ant’s hill to man? Man cannot live there no matter how beautiful it is to an ant. But God is humble; Solomon built a house with his hands and God went to dwell in it! No matter how the whole ants beg you, you will not want to live in their hill? 

No matter what a man becomes on earth, he is still a man. But God is saying; who shall ascend out of the earth? Ps. 24:1–5. God wants us to stop behaving like earthly men. He wants us to come up to him and that is good news. If you do not ascend now, you will have problem when the anti-Christ will arise from the earth.

The best of man’s work is useless to God, so He needs to help you take it over. Man was not created to take care of himself, just check the order in Eden before sin came. It was through sin that man learnt to work. I am not saying you should not work; I am just showing the order of the beginning. Man has fallen into work and he cannot come out of work like without leadings. Even the Son of Man (Jesus) worked when He came to the earth until God told Him to enter ministry.

Bless You!

Non-Negotiable Counsels of God's Kingdom - Part 6

Dearly beloved,

I could only pray and trust that we find grace to patiently tarry with the following counsels, which are faithful and true and are better learnt during the days of our sojourn in the flesh.

Graceful reading!

Non-Negotiable Counsels of God's Kingdom - Part 6

Scriptural Reading: Matt. 25:14-30 

In this parable, one of those given a talent (measure of life) despised it and buried it in the earth (flesh). The light of your candle it is meant to shine and not to be kept underneath a bushel (Matt. 5:15-16). According to Jn. 1:4, it’s the light of men. The life that is in your spirit is that of eternal life and is light (illumination).

What is making Christianity ugly is that want to look like the world and thereby beam another light called darkness (Matt. 6:23/Jn. 3:19). The world is actually looking for something new that hasn’t been seen before and you have what kings and queens are in need of (Isa. 60:1-4)

Kings here are not of an earthly order but men that direct the affairs of this world from the realm of divine life, so they chat courses for natural men. They may not have physical thrones but they unveil paths which men follow. The gospel cannot attract such natural men because they can’t see it (1Cor. 14:17). Things that would cause kings to bow is yet come out of us because we have not done enough with what God has invested in us (i.e eternal life resident in our spirit meant to become the life and conversation of our souls).

The apostles of old kept faith by preaching out a wrong life called darkness (1Jn. 1:5) out of the saints. The most beautiful thing we need to comprehend is the life that is in God, which isn’t religious and remains the greatest beauty that we can ever think about (Ps. 27:4)

In Israel, many references to the word ‘Ram’ had to do with the kingly anointing (Isa. 60:7). In this dimension, you do not go to the Gentiles, they come to you and this is evangelism made easy (Isa. 60:3). When your light is not shinning, you go to the gentiles but when your light is shining, they will look for you.

Solomon was not looking for the Gentiles but rather, they came to look for him. There is something of God in you that need to be brought forth through preaching. Hours of ministrations needs to be invested in you. Nobody goes to school and dictates the pace of how many hours he wants to spend in lecture theatre. No wonder those preachers did not have mercy on the saints; they preached for long hours (Acts 20:9).

Anytime God has allocated for you is actually for redemption. It is good for you to realize who you are, what God has kept in you and for you to see the essence of life, which that God has called you unto. He has called you unto glory and virtue and has given you all things that pertain to life and godliness (2Pet.1:3–4). God knew that no believer will attain by studying the Bible on his own, so He raised the five-fold manpower to teach the church (Eph. 4:11–14)

You have to know what Jesus knows, which made him to sit at the right hand of the majesty, expecting the fivefold to teach the church this knowledge. We have been called and blessed with ministry gifts that are meant to equip us in righteousness but unfortunately, many do otherwise and the head of the church is pained daily.

From Jn. 3:5, we can see that after we have been born again, there is another birth (1Pet. 1:23) for entrance into the kingdom of God. We need to be born of water and born of the Spirit (Jn. 3:5). Being born of THE WATER and THE SPIRIT are two unique births of God’s word. There is the word of God that is WATER and there is the word of God that is SPIRIT.

Water here isn’t physical water, but rather a state of The Word. When that word works on you, it prepares you for a more solid aspect of the word which is His Spirit. The water of the word prepares you to connect something much stronger; the Spirit. One is sticker than the other just like blood and water (Jn. 19:34/1Jn 5:6-8)

From 1Pet. 1:22, we can see that purification of the soul does not come at once but rather takes a gradual process of obeying the truth. No one can come to the tree of life except by obeying his commandments which would enable us to partake of the tree of life. (Rev. 22:17/13 –14)

You cannot call a place paradise except it has both the water of life and the tree of life (Rev. 22:1) and this is where the dominion of God is established. We need this ministry of the throne of God. If we have been raised together with Christ, our spirit has been made to sit together at the right hand side of majesty on high, waiting for our souls to overcome and sit likewise (Rev. 3:21). Before our soul can be purified, we need the meal of where our resurrected spirit is seated and this is our destiny. No dominion should be shown to you except what is issuing out of that throne   

There is the tree of life and there is the water of life and the only way to have life (Jn. 5:26/40) is by these two things. You cannot come to the tree of life except you have tasted the water of life. The water of life quenches your thirst while the tree of life ministers to your hunger. Any man that is satisfied by these ministries of the throne cant hunger or thirst anymore because such a soul has been eternally sealed (Rev. 14:1).

From Rev. 22:2, we can see that the city in the world to come is the place where God planted His vineyard. It has an external dimension, but what makes the city glad is the internal dimension of the city (the bride of Christ). We need the strength of this future city to get out of this world (2Cor. 6:17). The people who come to the city do so to receive ministry from the throne, because out of the throne issues the water and life. This is the New Jerusalem (company of overcomers) that comes down from heaven (Rev. 3:12/21:2)

If there is a river issuing out of the throne, flowing in the midst of the city, then that city must be mighty. When you walk some distance, you will get to a place where you will see the tree of life on either side of the street (Rev. 22:1-2). The street talks about your walk in the Spirit and if you keep on walking in the Spirit, you will end up drinking the water and eating the fruit of the tree of life. Your walk is also your drinking. As you drink, you have strength to continue walking until you would access the tree of life.

You cannot eat the tree of life until you have fulfilled the commandment of the path. The way you can get the tree is to follow the course of the river. When Jesus said ‘except a man is born of water and of the Spirit’ He was actually saying ‘except a man is born of water and the tree’. John 3:5, Rev. 22:1–4/17

Adam’s first birth took place after he eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. God started by giving birth to your spirit but says your soul also has to eat of the tree of life through obedience (Rom. 1:5&16:26/Heb. 5:9). It is the experience of the water that issued out from under the threshold of the house in Ezek. 47 and that threshold is still the throne of God.

You have to get to that place that what sustains you is the water of God’s life which is meant to take you to a place where you will partake of the life that is in the tree. There are two dimensions to God’s life: WATER OF LIFE and TREE OF LIFE. One flows while the other is solid so taking only that which flows isn’t enough. You can enter the kingdom by water but such entrance would only be in a small measure.

2pet. 1:11 For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

There is an entrance and there is also abundant entrance into the kingdom and for the latter to be ministered to us, we need to journey from drinking to eating of the tree. Obeying the truth (1Pet. 1:22) begins with the water of the truth and ends with eating of the tree of life. Disobedience killed Adam but by obedience we will live

The corruptible seed is the tree of the knowledge of good and evil while the incorruptible seed is the tree of life. Some people may live but not all do abide (Jn. 15:4/7/1Jn. 2:17). When you are born of water, you will live but when you are born of the Spirit, you will abide. The season for grasses (carnal men) is about to pass away (1 Pet. 1:24). We are entering into a dimension whereby grasses will not be able to abide.

Mal. 4:1 says “Who shall abide in the days of His coming for the earth will burn like the oven”. When God comes, the world cant endure him because he is a consuming fire (Heb. 12:29). When you are a grass, you cannot abide under His heat.

WHAT THE CHURCH OUGHT TO BE DOING IS TO BE TURNING GRASSES (ISA. 40:6/1PET. 1:24) INTO STONES (1PET. 2:4-5). That is the power of the kingdom. What the world does to man is to wear him away until they becomes vain and lighter than vanity (Ps. 62:9). Wind (meaning spirit) can carry you. Spirits can toss children of God to and fro by winds of doctrine (Eph. 4:14) and thereby dictate their pace. For you to overcome a wind (a spirit), you need to be born by another type of wind (Jn. 3:5/8). You need the revelations of Christ (Gal. 1:12) which would make you solid.

What we are hearing through the gospel is that which endures forever (1 Pet. 1:25). God wants to teach you how to abide. The church ought to take off the grassy glory and grace believer’s with the glory of Christ. The Bible calls Him the Lord of glory and the Father of glory (Eph. 1:17). To come into glory, the eyes of your understanding has to be enlightened.

God said to me ‘Do not be at the same level with things, you are higher than things that perish with usage’. When you are separated from a thing, you gain control of it. All these things have in them some magnetism for to pull you. The day you overcome their pull, they become your servant. Gold will obey you because it knows that you have conquered lust for such. In the beginning, things were simply for use but the adversary anointed things with lusts to get man to disobey God.  Things corrupt. Ordinary clothes can corrupt. I like beautiful things but you need to draw the line so they do not become your God.

An abider is a kingdom man, one that cannot be pulled by things and does not change (1 Jn. 2:15-18). Such a one has been sealed. Kings sit, they do not wander, unlike Satan who cannot sit (Job 1:7d/1Pet.5:8). One day, he was discovered and God asked him where he was coming from and he said he “From going to and fro in the earth and from walking up and down in it”.  Wandering is a nature of the devil and we are meant to be delivered of such. May God deliver us from the things we are not supposed to be carrying, which we still carry, amen.

Bless You!
