Dearly Beloved,
My Life! My Life!! My Life!!!
That is one of the depraved words the
world has hyped for mankind; not just an exclamation, but a governing
philosophy that could never have been found in the heart and mouth of our Lord
Jesus or his Holy Apostles, simply because it is cancerous and it doesn’t exist
in the world of truth!
Long before such words leaps
out of our mouth, while it still seeks to find an abode in our hearts, our
meditation all day long should be centered around our true life (Col. 3:4 - Christ), which remains so precious that it
had to be HID IN HEAVENLY PLACES, IN GOD! Eph. 1:3/3:9
Col. 3:4 Whenever Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then
shall ye also appear with him in glory.
The simple secret to sighting and inheriting our true life
is losing the self-seeking “life” that an unbeliever or a carnal believer celebrates
(Jn. 12:24-25/Phil. 2:4-5/Rev. 12:11). A
man who is LOSING “HIS LIFE”, is being empowered to KEEP GOD’S LIFE (Lk
11:27-28/Rev. 14:12), and heaven recons
with such a saint as powerful, faithful, true, righteous; just to mention a few
qualifying adjectives.
Phil.
2:4-5 Look not every man on his own things,
but every man also on the things of others. LET THIS MIND BE IN YOU, WHICH WAS
ALSO IN CHRIST JESUS:
To loose “your life”, you
need a continuous empowerment not just of the
introductory aspect of the gospel (Mk. 11:22/Heb. 6:1-2), but the core of the gospel which is the actual power of God (Rom. 16:25-26/1Cor.2:9/2Cor.4:6).
A cherubic power (Acts 26:18C) bundled together what we have branded as “our
life”, and it would take a superior divine power to liberate us from it (Rom.
1:16/Lk. 4:18). Only then would we graduate from continuing in his word, become disciples of truth, gradually continue in the Son (1Jn. 2:24) and end in the father like the Son did (Jn.
13:3/14:2-3/17:21).
The Power in focus here is that
which God designed our souls to learn of at his feet; the walk that conquered
death (Lk 10:39/Eph. 4:20/1Cor. 15:25/Matt. 3:11c), and this life tutorial only
commences after we have partook of the sincere milk provisions of faith in the Lord Jesus and love unto all the brethren (Eph.
1:15/Col. 1:4/1Thes. 1:3). This is where we qualify for the help of the Spirit of
Wisdom and Revelation that would enable us KNOW
whom we have previously BELIEVED in (Eph.
1:18/Col. 1:9/2Tim. 1:12)
2Tim. 1:12 For the
which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed,
The Faith in focus here is
that which remains unpopular among believers till date; one that was authored
not by father Abraham (Ga. 3:7/Heb. 6:1D) but by Christ Jesus (Heb. 12:2/Gal.
2:20); such that has the ability to make our souls to be as saved as our
regenerated human spirit is – i.e. cause our souls to sit (Rev. 3:21) in
heavenly places like our human spirit is seated (Eph. 2:6).
All of God’s resources has
been mobilized for this great cause in the last 2000 years plus! Nothing else
has earned his attention and nothing else would before the present heavens and
earth is folded like a garment and dissolved ((Isa.51:6/Heb.1:10-11/2Pet.
3:10-11), and God’s commitment to this would continue even unto the unveiling
of man’s actual world (Heb. 2:5/2Pet. 3:13/Rev. 21:1-2)
Amidst the tactical
distractions within and without the church (you and I) today, may we find the
grace of the Lord Jesus to subscribe to this less-costly-process that would
make us “NOBODY” before the world
but “SOMEBODY” in God’s sight (Act 8:21/1Tim. 2:3/1Pet. 3:4/2Cor. 2:17/4:2)
Blessings!
Pls find grace
to share with your circle of influence if you have been blessed by this article
Package within “our life” is volumes of fears
and cares. Inside His life(the life Christ still hopes I would someday fully
comply with), is His faith and God’s love. Friends, relatives and even not a
few ministers on earth today, help us in various ways to “Keep Our Live”,
contrary to various eternal injunctions …..
Long before we begain to intellectually
learn what we called “life”, we have received the will of that life by birth
(Jn. 1:10)
while Cain experimented with it at the expense
of God’s presence
guile
been weaned from the milky provisions of God’s
word he primary learning expected by God, for all believing believers.
