Doing SOMETHING & Doing NOTHING – Part 4



Dearly Beloved,

The “blame-game” has been one of the most profitable escape route and defense to mankind after Adam’s fall. It became a phenomenon after it tampered with Adam’s gene and then found its way into the bloodline of humanity. Like Adam, my darling 4 years old daughter has found it very useful on some key occasions!

Adam, a living soul whose stature was described as a “Son of God” – Luke 3:38, adventurously watched his wife transgress and then triggered the reign of death (1Tim. 2:14/Rom. 5:14). Like zealous believers do, HE RESPONDED TO THE STIMULI OF A THOUGHT THAT WASN’T BORN FROM ABOVE and rioted head on with God’s instruction to do otherwise – Col. 3:2/Jn. 3:31/5:19/5:30 

Innumerable thoughts breakthrough into our MINDS daily, seeking to corrupt our HEARTS! Most of them are anointed “False Evidences Appearing Real” and emanate from a demilitarized zone that once belonged to Adam – from the realm of authority over the earth that was mortgaged to the prince of the power of the air through ONE DECISION - Eph. 2:2. 

I asked myself earlier today, “Why do we always want to know What Next?” The answer wasn’t farfetched – “because we ENJOY and IDOLIZE the act of “DOING SOMETHING”, even when it conflicts with the nudging of our human spirit! Rather than wait and see God’s Salvation, we take the praise for “DOING SOMEHING”.  I write from person experience.

Patient Job: without a written bible, without the gift of speaking in tongues, without the Holy Spirit resident on earth - PROVED THAT HIS SOUL HAD ATTAINED MUCH MORE SALVATION THAN NOT A FEW BELIEVERS! He saw the DAILY DEALINGS OF FAITH as the only path that leads to man’s salvation and redemption (James 5:11/Job 19:25)


·         In Job. 23:10, he said, “But HE KNOWS THE WAY (Acts 16:17/18:25-26/24:14) that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold”

·         In Job 20:24, he raised a plumbline in the spirit by declaring, “Man’s goings are of the LORD; how can a man then understand his own way?”

He professed such a GOOD CONFESSION before unborn clouds of witnesses, long before an anointed Moses in Exo. 14:13 would say to the children of Israel, ”Fear ye not (the Egyptians/the world), STAND STILL, and see the salvation of the LORD, which He will shew to you today”

Adam thought he was smart while committing Idolatry-by-proximity! Smartness has long been redefined in the New Testament, and we would do well to start by acknowledging that our greatest idols are the Thoughts-We-Take (Matt. 6:25), so we can gradually trace the golden path of faith that empowers its subjects to live supernaturally; better than the fowls of the air do - Matt 6:26.

God’s parliament; which is the Ecclesia and true church, was predestined to be built with CONSISTENT REVELATIONS of THE FATHER, by THE SON, through THE SPIRIT, so the saints can attain a stature that can wrestle with thoughts, deprogram them and make them captives of Christ through obedience (2Cor. 10:5)



The Faith of the Son of God is the prescribed life for God’s Elect - Titus 1:1, and it remains heaven’s primary provision to help our infirmities in the face of hourly thought-induced temptations. In every situation, It answers the question, “WHAT WOULD JESUS DO”? and we MUST give room to it, so we can enjoy heaven’s economy in these perilous times, AMEN.

Blessings!

Watchers or Picnickers?


Dear Saints,

We thank the Lord for the relatively peaceful elections and the emergence of a new candidate

God is longsuffering, and doesn't live in time. He understands our plight much more than we do and has borne with us. He no doubt had an agenda for the current president/administration, a thorough agenda meant to run over time; one that should have not just brought much more "reprieve/dividends of civilization" the way of many, but much more importantly, lay a FOUNDATION for a New Nigeria.

My understanding is that, in the last couple of years, we should have come into something as a nation, just like America did decades back and fetched a right foundation that addressed fundamentals and flaws in the polity. This is a dire need, which some nation builders have expressed as a concern that “the Change team” was yet to consider as grave. Wasted years must be addressed.

If we have fallen short of such prescription/provision of heaven, which the devil fought with the slumber and stupor of this administration, we better prepare to watch and pray like we never would have with the incumbent. My prayers is that, such “unsought” dimension (that I hardly know in part): which is meant to address our unseen  foundational issues, limit the actual enemies/rebel holders over the nation and also complement the course and prosperity of the gospel, would find its way through the prayers of the saints - into the hearts and minds of the forthcoming leadership.

Let's not relax and "observe the wind". In all things, we give thanks to God, but we would not act as though we are ignorant of the devils devices - many of which he might be able to use more effectively in the forthcoming dispensation – if the church continues with picnicking.

Of a truth, some sustained engagements with heaven has to take place to prevail in the Spirit, so that our forthcoming president/administration would find the mercies/grace needed to secure heaven’s authority/resources and occupy that seat indeed. Otherwise, the church would be really humbled. Like a vessel of God reiterated yesterday, “if there is anytime believers need to wake up and KEEP A WATCH/PRAY, IT IS NOW!

THE CHALLENGE BEFORE US IS TO SEEK UNSOUGHT MERCIES CONCERNING NIGERIA, BECAUSE WE DONT HAVE A CLEAR ESTIMATE AS WE OUGHT. THERE IS A VACANCY IN THE SPIRIT FOR TRUE WATCHERS/WATCHMEN. MAY I/WE QUALIFY TO BE ONE OF SUCH, SO THE HORN OF THE GOSPEL KEEPS BEING EXALTED.

On your walls, O Nigeria, I have appointed watchmen; All day and all night they will never keep silent. You who remind the LORD, take no rest for yourselves; And give Him no rest until He establishes And makes Nigeria a praise in the earth.…(Isa 62: 6-7 paraphrased)

FOR THE SAKE OF THE GOSPEL, GOD BLESS NIGERIA!

Amen
