Another Look @ John Chapter 3 - Part 8

Dearly Beloved,

• I can biblically deduce that “If my thinking and deeds is the same way it was weeks or months back, there is either something wrong with either the supposedly ‘SPIRITUAL’ MEAL I am feeding on or my HEART. Each season must bring forth a tangible change in our lives, lest we run at a pace wherein we can’t finish our course and End Up In The Father and not just end up ‘Making It To Heaven’, which remains the 'unbiblical' goal of some.

 Jn. 13:3 “Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and knowing that he was COME FROM GOD, and WENT TO GOD.

(i.e. The destination of Jesus wasn’t HEAVEN but rather, THE FATHER so he lived differently from us! We came from God as a SEED (Gal. 3:16/29) but must return as a TREE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS (Isa 61:3) and not as a seed like the thief on the cross or like carnal believers would

•  If any ‘aspect of’ man be in Christ, be it His Spirit, Soul or Body, ONLY SUCH ASPECT OF THAT MAN HAS ATTAINED THE STATE OF A NEW CREATURE (2Cor. 5:17, paraphrased)

1.  The Human Spirit became a new creature at new birth because of Being Born Into Christ (Eph. 2:1)
2. The Soul now meant to partake of feasts (resurrection meals) that would cause it to experience the Second Born Again Experience (1Pet. 1:23) and produce a New Creature out of it which can Inherit The Father, i.e. Inherit The Kingdom.
3. The Body would ultimately be birthed into Christ at the sound of the last trump (1Cor. 15:44/49/52-54/1Thes. 4:16/Matt. 17:2)

The following transcribed message attempts to pay homage to the subject of this series. Please find grace to patiently read.

Thank You!

                                   Another Look @ John Chapter 3 - Part 8

Caution: The following transcribed message is not religiously friendly

• What you can’t discern spiritually, you can’t receive! There is no sentiment regarding the receiving of the kingdom. We need a discernment that is higher than what Satan through Babylon has planted and branded on the earth as a kind of life, reign and dominion. 

• The same way the world can’t receive the Holy Ghost because they can’t see him (Jn. 14:17), so also there is no receiving of the kingdom without thoroughly discerning it.

• There are mentally appealing concepts that look harmless which would limit a believer from discerning the kingdom. A concept like “We are building or advancing the kingdom of God” doesn’t exist in the realm of truth. No man or minister can build the kingdom here on earth. With what materials would such build that which is of The Spirit?

• We Are Called To RECEIVE The Kingdom Which Cannot Be Shaken. WE ARE CALLED TO THIRST AFTER, MOURN WITH THE SPIRIT OF MEEKNESS AND SAY ‘THY KINGDOM COME’! (Heb. 12:27/Matt. 5:3-4/6:10)

•  Abraham LOOKED FOR a city (not physical) whose builder and maker is (not was) God. Nothing which man can build would remain/stand the test of corruption.

 Heb. 11:10 For he looked for a city Which Hath Foundations, whose builder and maker is God. (i.e the present creation/earth was founded on shaky/watery foundation =Ps. 24:1-2= and would therefore pass away. The New creation is founded on Christ and would endure for unlimited ages to come)

•  The mind that is attempting to ‘build the kingdom’ simply needs to be renewed.  The kingdom of God is already established and even rules over the heavens since eternity past. Ps. 103:19

 Ps. 103:19 The LORD hath prepared HIS THRONE in THE HEAVENS; and HIS KINGDOM rules over all. (i.e according to Isa. 66:1-2, God is managing the present heavens where his throne is situated in this present order which would soon pass away. God is awaiting souls that would be raised and would accommodate/receive him, i.e. receive the kingdom)

• We wrongly interpret the role that Daniel played in Babylon for example. When Daniel was told he would be made second in command, he advised the king to give that position to others and he REMAINED AT THE GATE where he received in meekness, the revelations of his day.

• Daniel greatest exploit was Discerning What God Was Doing and heaven saw in him a stool where they can touch base. Babylon therefore suffered tremendous loss because of such spiritual pattern

• The influence of the kingdom works in a different way from ours. The primary sphere of expression of the kingdom is not Babylon but in the souls of the saints. As heaven kept bringing their things to Daniel, the kingdom of Babylon bowed!

• In such a day in which the kingdom is manifesting around sons would a stone be cut out WITHOUT HANDS i.e. it won’t be BORN OF MAN. That stone smote the stature representing the corruptible! Dan. 2:34

•  When we begin receiving the kingdom, the earth will boil. Everything built by man against faith, that can be shaken and that is founded on shaky foundations would give way. Heb. 12:27

•  Calling for the kingdom is calling for trouble, because it would halt the systems of men. There is no safety here on earth, though men have provided safety nets for themselves.

•  When Babylon was being judged, one of the things found admits gold, silver, vessels of ivory, marble, beasts, was The Souls of Men. Souls had been reduced to corruptible things. Rev. 18:12-13

•  Anything that is OF MEN has been and would continually be savored (i.e sainted) by the enemy and men would use it to ensnare men. Jesus therefore prayed that you keep them from this world.

• Jesus was the first man that entered into the kingdom and he did so as MAN and on behalf of MAN not just as God. Every other person that have and would enter into it must be like him, must be Born Again The Second Time, i.e. experience the second birth relating to the soul -1Pet. 1:23

•  Your soul must be raised by resurrection life to look like Christ or else the gates of the kingdom won’t open up for you. The ‘everlasting gates/doors’ mentioned in Ps. 24 only responds to those who look like the king and Lord of glory.

• Your discernment has to be raised to see beyond the intelligence/inanimate expressions of Babylon which can’t be seen with the physical eyes, yet rules through all that can be seen.

•  What we have been made to see are the tangible/material aspect of this world, but what rules this world is the intangible aspect, the wisdom of the princes of this world. No One Can Escape This World If Such Hasn’t Received The Revealed Adequate Dosages of The Knowledge Of Truth – 1Tim. 2:4b

• What man is currently showing forth is so substandard, ask Adam! 

• The traps Satan set for the Lord were not those of works of the flesh (Eph. 5:3-5/Gal. 5:19-21). Rather, they were such that we would fall into and not even know we have! How did the Lord beat the thoughts and temptations of seeking to improve the warfare of the Jews, of a kingdom that was ruled by Caesar? The thought of “How can I improve their welfare so that they would become a force to be reckoned with on earth” was a temptation we can hardly discern today. Everything is wrong with such thoughts! It can get to you build something substandard and knock you off the will of God.

•  We don’t understand the ways of the Lord/the kingdom like the Jews/disciples didn’t in their day! Jesus would rather tell them ‘if you are smitten on one chick, turn the other’, that’s the wisdom of the kingdom that Satan is clueless about.

• If we had the anointing/grace that the Lord had, we would have done many things outside the will of God in the name of exploits! Jesus was meek enough to exercise the powers of the age to come, which he attained

• We must have a superior discernment above the Jury, above those of nations etc, or else, we would miss the kingdom. We would be with blemish when you hold wrong thoughts.

• Jesus was telling the rich and less privilege ‘Repent for the kingdom of God is at hand’ because he stood for something else, something new, for the order of the New Creation, not a white/black man or Jewish or tribal thing

• Thoughts that besiege the minds of ministers and stir up their wrath (of man) against injustice of their country is not from the Lord. We see such as an expression of the kingdom but it isn’t. such is no blameless before Satan

•  Once a minister is built like that, he wouldn’t be able to hold the truth like Jesus or the Apostles did. Such mind would be unknowingly corrupted and he won’t be able to hold the mystery of Faith with a pure conscience. 1Tim. 3:9

• The Lord’s passion wasn’t toward his nation, but towards the will of God. His meat was to do the will of him that sent him. Many of our passions drive us wrongly to a wrong places, outside God’s will

• To have an entrance ministered to you into the kingdom, the Holy Ghost must help you manage your passion.

•  After you have overcome the works of the flesh, there are still sins/iniquities that you must overcome.

• Jesus didn’t even go to the Sanhedrin or to King Herod out of zeal to tell them the truth! He was spiritually disciplined. The Sanhedrin had been waiting for the Son of David, so wanting to reach them was a temptation for him. Herod wasn’t qualified to see him. He didn’t identify with the high and mighty, but rather, with the lowly. He stayed within the perimeter of the will of the Father contrary to the norm today

•  The Jew had been oppressed by the tax/corrupt system, yet Jesus didn’t confront that system. They came to tempt him with payment of tribute, and you can’t reply to such with a ‘Yes’ or ‘No’, which is the response of the Tree of The Knowledge of Good & Evil, lest you enter into Satan’s trap. You need the Spirit to respond to such temptations.

•  When you see the philosophy that says “every king needs a prophet, watch out…’. Error is around the corner

•  Jesus kept going to the temple because he knew that the expression of the kingdom wasn’t what was prevalent, but one that would raise a kingdom of Kings and Priests, and priests only go to the temple, so he kept going there until he went to the cross. (Rev. 1:6/1Pet. 2:9)

•  After resurrection, he didn’t go back to the temple, because a superior temple had been raised in the heavens through which he would minister to potential kings and priests, glory!

• As a minister, you must trust the Lord to be delivered from your nation, your people. God must deliver you from being a Nigerian, a British, an American e.t.c. those are blemishes because such doesn’t exist IN THE CHRIST Jesus, i.e. IN THE KINGDOM (Pls see Gal. 3:28/6:15). Apostle Paul had to be delivered from that mindset - Acts 26:17

 Acts 26:17 Delivering thee from the people (i.e. the national identity), and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee…

 Gal. 6:15 For in Christ Jesus (i.e. in the kingdom) neither circumcision avails anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature. (i.e. From the kingdom point of view, there is nothing like “I am a Nigerian, British or American” but according to Eph. 2:19, we are now fellow citizens with other saints, and of the household of God)

• Without spiritual discernment of the kingdom, we would not be able to appreciate the parables and therefore won’t appreciate truth. This is the issue with the church who is contented with the Introductory Meals To Truth (i.e. miracles, prosperity) which is different from The Truth Itself

 Lk. 18:16 … Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God (i.e. everyone that would enter must become a child. The more we press into the kingdom, the more childish our hearts would become)

• There is way little children receive things, so the Lord said in Lk. 18:16 that such is the soul state that can receive the kingdom. You can easily collect something from a child by giving him something else

·         Those presiding over the governments of the earth are handling a low/inferior kind of dominion traceable to the fall of man. Satan does not give it to genuine believers without a fight. If they are not sent, they must drink of the wine of Babylon (compromise) to get there. 

• The rich young ruler had a kind of dominion as a ruler, but he couldn’t leave his possessions for the kingdom. Like ministers think today, he taught he could HELP THE KINGDOM when actually there is nothing man can do to help or improve the kingdom. The kingdom is the real answer to man’s problem which began when man left his estate, i.e. God

•  Of the increase of His Government (unlike earthly governments) there shall be no end, i.e. even in the world to come – Isa. 9:7

• There are many little things that can rob you of the kingdom. Anything that limits you from being a spirit in your soul or from being windy (Jn. 3:6&8), would deny you understanding and access to the kingdom.

• Like Jesus told the young rich ruler, Entrance into the Kingdom Is Only Possible with God. Only God can supervise the needed Soul Conversion that would beat such into the shape that can pass through the eye of a needle.

• Jesus wasn’t against the Law of Moses, he came to fulfill it. He spoke with a wisdom that enabled him disarm various mobs.

• Satan is windy, so you can’t physically wrestle with him. You need to be in the Spirit always to defeat Him.

• God is raising a company of saints that would have a superior wisdom than Satan’s wiles (2Cor. 2:11). Such would only preach What They Are Seeing & Hearing, like the Lord Jesus, even though no one received his report. The arm of the Lord (i.e. Strength) is only revealed to those who receive such report, what He Heard and Said.

 Jn. 3:31-32 He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh from heaven is above all. And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; and no man receiveth his testimony.

• Speak like Christ spoke, i.e. what you see and hear from above, and you would overcome Satan!

 Bless You!

Another Look @ John Chapter 3 - Part 7

Dearly Beloved,

There has been a secret transportation of light (i.e. divine knowledge) from The Throne to The Soul, a sweet experience which a wise man once called ‘photoportation’. The end product of this privileged experience would feast a company of believers with The Personal Meal of The Lamb Called The Love of God and produce the purest breed of celestial overcomers that would minister light to the kings of the New Earth in The World To Come. Rev. 21

Creation has waited for this day wherein Righteousness would continually look down from heaven and Truth increasingly spring forth from the earth (i.e. souls) - Ps. 85:11. The longsuffering of God is raising a company whom Isaiah called Excellent Fruit of The Earth (Isa. 4:2), whom James also called The Precious Fruit of The Earth (Jam. 5:7) and such are they who were not just CALLED but pressed into Eternal Life and became a part of the company of The CHOSEN and FAITHFUL.  Matt. 22:14/Rev. 17:12

The Lord’s resolve is to distinguish between those who would find Great Mercies to fellowship with Rightly Revealed Thoughts of God (i.e. Righteousness - Rom. 1:16-17) and those who won’t, so he can thereby recruit/reap His Innermost Family Circle, His Fellows (Ps. 45:7/Heb. 1:9) and declare them before His Father and His Angels like the Father was once declared unto Him before he sat.  Heb. 1:5-9/5:4-5

The following transcribed message is an attempt to shed further light on issues that transcends time which believers must SEEK ABOVE ALL while such could be sought! Isa. 55:6/Prov. 1:28.

Graceful reading!

Scriptural Reading

Jn. 17:6 I have manifested THY NAME unto the men whom thou gave me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gave them me; and they have kept THY WORD (i.e. Thy Name). Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee. 17:8 For I have given unto them THE WORDS which thou gave me; and THEY HAVE RECEIVED THEM, … 17:11 And now I am no more in the world (i.e. I have been separated by the Spirit of holiness through my kingdom compliant walk), but these are in the world (i.e. had not come into such separation like Jesus did)

·         There is the Spirit of the kingdom called The Holy Ghost whom alone can quicken a believer to understand the tutorials that have to do with the kingdom - Rom. 14:17

Rom. 14:17 For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink (i.e. not carnal); but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.

• The natural/carnal soul of a believer could not relate with or accommodate the voltage of the Glory of The Spirit of The Lord i.e. The Holy Ghost, so he was given to the Church with seven manifestations through which we can be quickened and raised into a complete man while journeying towards the throne.

Isa. 11:2 And The Spirit of the LORD (2Cor. 3:18) shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD

• The Seven Spirits of the Lord is the Spirit of Truth/Christ. Until he turns to you as such and manifest to you in each of this dimensions, you would neither know truth nor complete your faith course. He takes The Things of God and gives it unto us. He is the chef of the kingdom that would communicate the various Overcoming Meals needed to ultimately Sit With Christ in The Kingdom

Jn. 16:15 All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I that He Shall Take of Mine (i.e. substances of truth), And Shall Shew It Unto You (i.e. reveal it unto his saints)

• In the same way we have the spirit of this world (1Cor. 2:12) which ensures that men are tutored and made drunken with the wine of the world (Rev. 14:8). It ensures that men are under a spiritually darkened season that smites them by day and by night (Ps. 121:6/SoS. 1:6a)

• The mission of the only enemy of God and of Christians (i.e. Satan) is to ensure that this world is not just an external thing, but that it is internalized by men so that no man would know the things that are freely given to the saints, things Prepared for believers who started by BELIEVING IN HIM but ended up KNOWING/LOVING HIM (1Cor. 2:9) i.e. divine things that are ordained to Bring Saints Into The Glory of The Father and of His Kingdom.  1 Cor. 2:7c

1 Cor. 2:12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.

• Something comes upon men during festive seasons like Christmas that isn’t ordinary. That thing you call The Atmosphere of Christmas is not ordinary. The enemy (as the prince of the power of the air) employs that season to promote conversations/values/the thought pattern of the course of this world because souls are more receptive to ‘What’s In The Air’. It’s a spirit and if you are not careful, it would cause you lower your guard, compromise and despise true fellowship with truth meant to be ongoing at such natural season.

• The Holy Ghost is the Spirit of the kingdom/father and of the Son whom we are meant to enter. The kingdom is in his administration right now. THE KINGDOM IS IN THE HOLY GHOST – Rom. 14:17

• ·         You must walk to a place where you can say like the Lord Jesus and His Apostles “though I am in the world, I am not of the world”  - Jn. 17:16

•  The prayer of the Lord Jesus to the Father for his disciples and His Church in Jn. 17 was that “THEY WOULD COME INTO THE SEPARATION THAT HE CAME INTO, AFTER WALKING A GHOSTED LIFE LIKE HE DID”.

•  ·         The World was waived with The Wisdom of the Princes of this world and it took The Priestly Walk of Jesus to Disobey That Stature of Wisdom. We must study his walk to walk and overcome like he did

• ·         It is the operation of HIS NAME/NATURE that KEEPS A BELIEVER from THE CORRUPTION of THIS WORLD. We can only be kept by the provisions of the Lord explained in Jn. 17, NOT BY WHAT WE DO!

• There is so much limitation with us, such that, after we have tried our best to obey, we still err and fall short of the needed qualitative walk in the Spirit. To address this, the Lord had to Manifest His Name which is the secret of His Operations/Authority/Wisdom and thereby prepared us to defeat Satan like he did

1 Pet. 1:5 Who are kept by the power of God through faith Unto Salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

Jn. 17:14 I have given them Thy Word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. pray not that thou should take them out of the world, but that thou should Keep Them from the evil.

• God’s enemy don’t want anyone to hold what the Lord Jesus once held, which is called The Word of God (Jn. 17:7-8/14&17). They therefore treat the issues of the kingdom with violence!

Heb. 1:3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by THE WORD of His Power…

Rev. 19:12-13 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. And he was clothed with vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called THE WORD of God

(i.e. The book called The Bible which many naturally relate with as The Word of God primarily contains the revelations about The Personality of The Word unveiled via conversations from Genesis to Revelation. We have physically opened that book but we have hardly scratched/known The Voltage of Divine Life called The Word because of our limited intimacy with The Spirit of Truth)

• By That Word/Name, Jesus attained separation because that name is The Word or Operation of TRUTH. He selflessly gave them what was responsible for his separation, which makes the world hate those that bear it – Jn. 15:18-19; 17:14

• There is a technology in the word that wrought separation in us when we Hold The Word which would earn you active hatred from the world and from worldly vessels.  The reason for the warfare that the world would always bring our way is because of what we have held and always hold, i.e. THE WORD.

• The world loves their own because they are holding their operations, their things i.e. TRADITIONS OF MEN, RUDIMENTS OF THIS WORLD, PHILOSOPHIES e.t.c. which gave birth to The Lust of The Flesh, The Lust of The Eyes and The Pride of Life - Jn. 15:19/1 Jn. 2:15.

Col. 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.

(These are the ingredients responsible for the carnal state of the church, which limits us from attaining a priestly state that’s without Spots, Wrinkles & Blemish)

• The world is able to both love (i.e. their own) and hate (i.e. things of God). we also should be able to love (i.e. the things of God) and hate (i.e the things of the world).

• This word is The Words of Eternal Life (Jn. 6:68) and if Jn. 17:3 defined Eternal Life as The Knowledge (i.e. not the believing) of The Father and The Son, then the Godhead is simply calling us to fellowship with their depths.

• Phil. 2:15-16 confirms that believers who don’t HOLD FORTH THIS WORD OF LIFE would end up running/laboring in vain. May that not be our portion, in Jesus name, amen.

• Pst. Emeka Egwuchukwu

Another Look @ John Chapter 3 - Part 6

Dearly Beloved,

John Westley once said and I quote “The difference btw the very HIGHEST and LOWEST state/status in this present world is nothing to be compared to the smallest difference btw degrees of Glory in heaven which the saints would attain”.

Apostle Paul puts it this way; There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for One Star differs from Another Star in glory. 1Cor. 15:41

Apostle Peter put his in the form of a question i.e. ‘… what shall the end be of them that OBEY Not The Gospel of God? 1Pet. 4:17

The burden I have about the generation of believers I belong to is the unhealthy contentment we have which has caused us to settle for the BELIEVING OF THE GOSPEL while heaven in mercy is busy trumpeting revelations that should bring us into the OBEDIENCE OF THE GOSPEL. As far as heaven is from the earth, so far is the different btw both!

The following transcribed message attempts to challenge some unhealthy contentment that emanates from our perception of the Beginning/End of The Faith and how it bothers on The Kingdom

Graceful reading!

Another Look @ Jn. 3 Vs. 3-5 - Part 6

Jn. 3:5  Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.  That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

Jn. 3:7  Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit

• You need the mercies and wisdom of God to see the purpose of the teachings of the kingdom by Apostle John in the book of John. Our understanding was earlier darkened (Eph.4:18) via our romance with the world, so we need the Lord to help us see things from a realm of light, like they do.

• Immediately Jesus appeared on the scene, John saw and discerned that he was the Lamb of God. John knew he couldn’t unhook his shoes, i.e. John knew he couldn’t discern his kingdom walk or preach the gospel of eternal life/the kingdom. It wasn’t given to him as The Path OF Eternal Life wasn’t revealed nor his blood (life) shed!

Mk. 1:7 And John preached, saying, There cometh one mightier than I after me, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose

(i.e. John he knew he couldn’t preach the gospel of Eternal Life/the kingdom)

Eph. 6:15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace

i.e. your Walk in the Spirit being kingdom compliant should unveil the gospel of the kingdom

• It is possible to get born again and not see or use the life you have and you can only speak and testify of that life when you have SEEN IT!
• Few would see/perceive eternal life (i.e. the kingdom) and a fewer number would enter it (i.e. eternal life)

Matt. 7:14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth

unto LIFE (i.e. not unto heaven but the kingdom), and FEW there be that find it (i.e. ENTER IT).

• The new birth is strictly an empowerment to SEE the kingdom. It beyond changing planets/worlds.

•  When you are born of God, the ability to carry God’s eyes is potentially given you. You need his eyes to see what he is doing

Jn 3:11-12  Verily, verily, I say unto thee, WE SPEAK THAT WE DO KNOW, and testify that WE HAVE SEEN; and ye receive not our witness. If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?

•  One of the trinity (i.e. the word made flesh) was testifying of what he knew, of a knowledge that existed amongst them alone!

•  The first message the apostles preached was The Believing of Eternal Life because men (unbelievers/young believers) does have the power to stay or submit to the demands of Knowing Eternal Life

Jn.3:30-32 He must increase, but I must decrease.  He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh from heaven is above all.  AND WHAT HE HATH SEEN AND HEARD, THAT HE TESTIFIETH; and no man receiveth his testimony

• The person that announced the messiah (John) was more than a prophet, he was THE PROPHET because he saw much more than all other prophets and was speaking from the fountain of WHAT HE KNEW (Jn.3:30-32)

• From the day of John, evil spirits knew that God can give their dominion to man, so they had to fight man from receiving God’s dominion which is His Reign, so they changed strategy and took with violence, the issues of men entering the kingdom. Matt. 11:12

• John the Baptist was able to introduce Jesus because he had a stature of life by which he could discern eternal life. He saw eternal life like Adam saw eternal life in the tree in Eden.

• Adam didn’t eat of the worldly tree because of eve. The life of eve was in Adam, so she hadn’t died when she eat it. Her eyes were still ‘closed’ after eating it. She was deceived but Adam wasn’t deceived, he employed knowledge in doing it and that brought about man’s death. 1Tim. 2:13-14

• Eve was in transgression, but Adam eat it knowing eve didn’t know what she had done.

• Adam could see the meaning of eternal life. He saw the demands of the narrow path in the tree i.e. longsuffering, patience, perseverance, love etc. He knew the life contained in the tree of life was higher than the life he had accessed in Eden. He was enjoying the dominion of the Son of Man but should have come into the dominion of God but eating of the tree of life!

• It is not enough to see eternal life/the kingdom like Adam or John the Baptist did, but to inherit/enter it.

• As a believer, you have eternal life in your spirit but can’t manifest it because that is the calling/portion of the soul

• The day you got born again, Adam was higher than you by virtue of his soul stature even after the fall, but your human spirit is higher than his. He can see what you can’t see because your eyes is not yet opened/enlightened like his was

• When you got born again, the eyes of your heart remained closed. Without SEEING, it could BELIEVE but couldn’t KNOW because that only takes place after being faithful with the initial faith meals like the Ephesian Church were in Eph. 1:15, which then gave Apostle Paul the legal ground to pray concerning the enlightening of their eyes – Eph. 1:17-18

• While ours eyes was closed, something was planted in us that we couldn’t see, but it was planted in hope that we would later mature and then comprehend what was planted in us

• When we loved or love the world via various day to day lustful adventures, we come under a false dominion and appreciate with a light called darkness and this is why we can’t rightly interpret the dominion of God

 Matt. 6:23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!

• Your capacity in the spirit is according to your eyes, therefore God told Abraham, ‘as far as your eyes can see…..’

• The Eyes of Your Understanding (Eph. 1:17-18) is what determines your destiny. No university on earth can train that eye to see eternal life! The world has no lively gift

• John from afar was sighting the kingdom and therefore could introduce Jesus to the people. Moses and all other prophets couldn’t do that, therefore John was greater than them all (Matt. 11:11)!

• The prophetic karat or stature of a soul can be spiritually measured by the sight (judgment) of the soul

• No one can enter the kingdom if he is not a prophet, i.e. if such is not prophetic in nature. Inheritance is the portion of for seers

• Abraham was a prophet (Gen. 20:7), though he didn’t prophesy like Isaiah. He was higher in stature than him. His highest prophetic stature was displayed in his experience on mount Moriah when he offered up Isaac

• God used visions to communicate to many kings and old testament faithful who were dead in their spirit. It was a spiritual experience with a carnal dimension. Despite it, comprehension of the kingdom couldn’t be unveiled

• A true prophet/seer is one that can see God and discern his order of spiritual walk!

• The highest use to which the eyes can be put to use is to see God!

• John the Baptist said ‘He that cometh from God (Jesus) speaketh the words of God for the spirit is given to him without measure’, he must have been a great being to give such spiritual analysis

•  The class of such words that John spoke would have been heard from men of stature like Adam, a being we don’t know! Children are quick to say they are greater than John the Baptist. John was a shadow of Jesus, though without a resurrected body right now. Jesus would be comforting him and the likes of Adam, Eve etc.

• Seeing or discerning Eternal Life is Seeing The Kingdom. All activities of eternal life come with divine power. The life of the kingdom has its structural order that is not in the flesh.
•  
• The fall of man dropped man into a fallen, earthly, sensual wisdom that runs earthly governments. Jam. 3:15

• If you don’t see eternal life, you can’t understand the correct order of life and would live after a far lower/condemned life. Rom. 8:1

• Some churches right now are arranged after the order of earthly democracy. Legislative, Judiciary and executive, an enticing seductive arrangement that can rob believers of life. If you don’t have the discernment of the gospel, you would be deceived

• The drive to take over the affairs of this world still belongs to a lower state of souls. Satan would still be ruling over such refurbished order of government, the book of revelation confirms how Satan would still be in charge until he is ultimately expired towards the end of this age.

• Satan would still be ruling over the system men want to take over, that’s why reformation ministers need to understand the Gospel (epistles) not the introductory aspect of the gospel

• Most of the fabric of earthly governments came from earthly minds while the wisdom came from a fallen spirit that usurped authority from Adam.

• Eternal life is a demonstration of the RIGHTEOUSNESS, PEACE, JOY of the kingdom and that is why a natural man/mind can’t manage or access it. They can’t budget for such and can only manage that which is OF THE FLESH

• It took the Wisdom of The world to reduced man from being a living soul into flesh. Flesh is not just the human body but a thinking pattern that ends in death

• The destruction of man is what would give birth to the second death; the death of the soul (Rev. 20:6:14) and that is the plan of the broad way. First death is the death of the spirit which spread from Adam and was addressed by New Birth

Jn 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal (life), and to kill (life), and to destroy (life): I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

(During the first & second day, Satan stole and killed life in the souls of men via the operations of Babylon, but in the third day, through the operations of the antichrist called the destroyer, he would totally destroy the soul by getting me to fully hate God and sink them into the second death where souls would not just be compatible with Hell Fire but materials for Lake of Fire)

• The book of revelation is a confirmation of a mysterious working to push those that have been elected to drop the carnal life by force. They are not the actual overcomers because such weren’t forced to be saved as by fire. Jude Vs. 23/1Cor. 3:15
•  
• What the world teaches men is to depreciate in their response to God. It’s an industry that produces flesh so that men can be governed by their dominion. The world can’t govern a living man that has been raised to hate their life. 1Jn. 2:16
•  
• When you want to take the world out of a soul, fear arises, causing such to react by rather protecting his worldly/soulish life! To discern how men would respond to eternal life, check their fear storage

• As long as you are using the principles of this world, you are under a power. Those living here, the strata of natural governments are under a power called darkness – Acts 26:18

• We would know how you have been delivered from the dominion of this world by your response to the teachings of divine life which seeks to help you lay down the self/soul life and bring you out of one dominion to another

• When you get to heaven, you would realize we are all in different cadres, there are rankings there. Apostle Paul would have the right to call many in heaven Sons, because of the voltage of eternal life he had acquired

• The bible talked about the least in the kingdom (Matt. 11:11), so there is a minimum amount of eternal life needed to enter the kingdom after sighting it.

• When sight/divine illumination is in operation, it’s the characteristic of eternal life that is at work.

• The beginning of eternal life could be likened to the measure of the ankle of the waters of Ezekiel, which is a measure of the Holy Ghost/the life of God. Eze. 47

•  When you are in the kingdom, you have a walk far superior to the whole world. You have a kingly manifestation.

• By virtue of the meal believers partake of, some have begun to sight the kingdom.

• There is a place where nothing in the natural gets you upset because you are of another dominion

• The problem of Nicodemos was his fleshly constitution as a Pharisee. The Pharisees thought they all knew about the kingdom and wanted to collect the kingdom from the messiah, but Jesus didn’t come with the kind of kingdom. They didn’t know that the Davidic/Jewish kingdom was worldly/carnal. They couldn’t see because their sight was worldly, so also was their sanctuary. Worldliness would cheat you from entering God’s dominion

• A worldly man is flesh. All worldly thoughts are used to control flesh

• The day your mind changes from Nicodemus kind of mind, you would be able to see the kingdom

• What Lucifer had before he fell was a king of kingdom. What Adam had was a kind of kingdom. They both had a kind of dominion, but these were not God’s kind of dominion

• Being born of The Water (Jn. 3) is coming into an expressing of life/the ‘spermatozoa of the kingdom’ which washes and cleanses you, changing your mind, removing corruptible thoughts and birthing incorruptible thoughts in preparation for entrance into the kingdom Jn. 17:17/Eph. 5:26

• Believers who make it to heaven with an earthly mind/unenlightened eyes would experience what Jesus called outer darkness (Matt. 22:12-13. Such are they who lack the finesse of the kingdom signified by the absence of a wedding garment (i.e. naked Rev.3:18/16:15) and the language/tongue/knowledge of the kingdom.

 Matt. 22:12 And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was Speechless. Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness, there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Rev. 3:18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see (i.e. the kingdom).

Rev. 16:15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he Walk Naked, and they see his shame.

Question: Is this an experience on earth or beyond?

• Some haven’t even sighted the courts of heaven, the Jerusalem that is above, because of their state of darkness. David did, therefore his prophetic declarations of it. The book of Revelations 21-22 documents how heaven would have to prepare the souls of carnal believer for the world to come

• The first heaven alone can accommodate all men ever born, howbeit the second and third heaven's which are inferior to the kingdom of God

•  We direly need messages that would knock off the world from the souls of men not those that would preserve it

• The apostles knew nothing but the kingdom. Many today know all other things except the kingdom

• This is the reason why we were born, to experience dominion and therefore escape the power of darkness

• I hear in my spirit ‘The end of all flesh is come’…. i.e. some souls would be saved while other won’t be, like the days of Noah, some were destroyed others saved. Water is a type of knowledge that would cover the earth and bring salvation to the earth but destroy others who reject it.

•  What God dealt with in the days of Noah was their body, but now he is dealing with the soul.

• God has power to give life unto all flesh. God is ‘tired’ and wants to end this fleshy order of existence
• Lord, raise my soul completely from the dust. Lead me that I might end up being a Son and not remain a Child

 Bless You!
