Unending Horizons Of Truth.

 True Impact In Ministry. There is so much at the present, which looks like impact, result or success in ministry & which impresses the human mind with a sense of real/great accomplishment, but when the fire goes through it, it will be found as having no true spiritual value/substance as to abide/to be carried on as reward into eternity. Often we hear people talk about impact & results in christian service/ministry, yet what they're actually referring to as impact is in the realm of the seen(what eyes can see), the material, temporal & transient....like gigantic auditoriums/meeting places, large following/congregation, material prosperity, acquisition of much real estate, equipments, machinery & mercenaries for 'missionary work'.etc. That which registers in their minds as impact might seem spiritual under the garb & name of "the work of God" yet it is of no real spiritual/eternal value. In the long run the flesh profits nothing, though it may s...

Some assert that angels can't preach the gospel, thus they assume that what Paul said in Galatians 1:8 is only a hyperbole/exaggeration. Galatians 1:8  "But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed." How could what Paul said in Galatians 1:8 be taken as a hyperbole/exaggeration? Do we not see it's connection to what he wrote to the saints in Corinth? 2 Corinthians 11:3-4 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.  Who was the first being to preach/give an exegesis of the word of God?  Was it not the fallen cherub who manifested in the guise of a serpent in Eden? ...

Some argue that there is nothing like tongue/language of angels; that any tongue which is unintelligible to men & unfruitful to human understanding is gibberish & not in anyway an utterance of mysteries in the spirit. If in the old testament, the church in the wilderness(Israel) ate manna the food of angels, unknown to men, it obviously takes unbelief for one to doubt that there is any such thing as tongue/language of angels, unknown to men and for which mortal men would need to be endowed with a spiritual gift to be able to speak and interpret. The psalmist captures the experience of the children of Israel in eating manna in the wilderness thus:  Psalm 78:24-25 And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them of the corn of heaven. Man did eat angels' food: he sent them meat to the full. The phrase translated as "angels' food" in the common version is "abbı̂yr lechem" in the Hebrew which means 'mighty/valiant bread' (of angels,...

The Knowledge Of The Son Of God(The Father Revealed). There is no revelation of the Father outside the knowledge of the Son.  It is in knowing the Son that we come to see the Father revealed and manifested in the Son. Where there is no revelation, living consciousness and awareness of the Father, there also the knowledge of the Son is missing. The Outraying Of God's Glory & Exact Engravement/Expression Of The Father's Substance. Scripture in Hebrews 1:3 reveals Christ(The Son Of God) as the outraying (Grk. apaugasma) of the God's glory; in other words, the Father's glory cannot be seen but in the Son who is the outraying of his glory; in him the Father's glory is fully/completely outrayed/revealed.  The Son is also the express image(Grk. charaktēr: exact engraving, expression & representation) of his person(Grk. hupostasis: concrete essence & substance).   The Son of God is not only the very engraving or engravement of the Father's substance/e...

The second man who is the Lord from heaven and the last Adam, did not restore us in the estate of the first man as some wrongly teach by asserting that he has brought us back to the garden of Eden, back to the glory & fellowship lost therein to restore the dominion mandate of Genesis 1:28; He rather brings us into the paradise of God in heaven, of which the garden of Eden was only but a type.  He brings us to his own estate, the estate of the heavenly, which is far above the earthly estate & dominion of the first man. His dominion is a dominion over all things, both in heaven and on earth, thus He sits at the righthand of God in the heavenly places, far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion.  All things both in heaven and on earth have been put under him, all angels and authorities have been made subject unto Him(1st Peter 3:21-22. This is the transcendent glory of the second man and in Him, we have been made to sit together in heavenly places i...

What Does It Mean To Seek The Kingdom Of God And His Righteousness? We must first understand what the kingdom of God is and his righteousness in connection to his kingdom, in order to comprehend what it means to seek the kingdom of God & his righteousness.  (1.) The first thing to know is that the kingdom of God is not a kingdom that can be corrupted, changed or moved; it is thus an eternal kingdom whose reign is in life eternal. Wherever death reigns, truncating life, cannot be said to be the kingdom of God; thus scripture clearly shows that flesh & blood(the mortal body) which is subject to death, cannot inherit the kingdom of God, neither will corruption inherit incorruption/incorruptibility which is a mark/character of God's kingdom.  Hebrews 12:28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear.  1 Corinthians 15:50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood canno...

The Wonders/Marvels Of The Cross Of Christ.  On the cross, the One who on the mount was once transfigured above the brightness of the sun, lay with that glory eclipsed in utter darkness, his visage so marred more than any man and his form utterly beyond that of the sons of men; yet the pressure of that whole agony upon His soul could get nothing contrary from Him in response, but perfect submission & alignment to the divine will. The more the pressure, the more manifest the perfection - the absolute perfection that was His: absolute goodness -"the Son of Man glorified, and God glorified in Him." His unfaltering & unwavering obedience was absolute even unto death.  This was the victory, that the Holy One should go into death, the spotless Lamb delivered into the hands of death...this was the undoing of death as the sting of sin with which it holds it's captive ones, was no where to be found, the Lamb had borne and taken away in the offering of himself, the sins of ...

Tested By God's Hidden Ways & Working. God often hides himself to test our pursuit/ seeking of Him; to reward us, if against all odds, we diligently and relentlessly seek Him. When God raises up a corporate vessel to represent & bring in a greater fullness of His Son in a time of intense/dire spiritual need, such a company goes through strange & unusual ways of testing, of perplexity, of adversity, of strain, and ofttimes it's position seems to be an impossible one. You know that under certain conditions of pressure you are tempted to question even what the Lord has said to you. Often your mind could be assailed with thoughts of doubt & querries of unbelief like: "have i been deceived? Am I holding unto an illusion? Nothing seems to be happening, there seems to be no tangible development; I am getting older & older, and even the promises of God do not seem to be fulfilled." The ways & workings of God in a time of transition are hidden;...

While on these earthly shores, Jesus knew all men and committed himself to no man knowing what was in man. Likewise the HolySpirit sent down from heaven does not merely commit himself to men's speech, teaching, preaching; he does not merely commit to what we say, our avowed or promised loyalty/surrender in worship. What the HolySpirit commits himself to is the very measure of God's dealings, which we have allowed God to work in us, that which is inwrought, that which has been through the fire/furnace and come out like gold...the measure of the stature of Christ, which through deep travail, has been practically formed in us.

The Restraint On Total Apostasy & Judgment Of Damnation. Part 2. As noted in the first part, God's restraint in pouring out consummate judgment on iniquity & the wicked, is the righteous. As long as the righteous are still found in the midst, God is restrained from pouring out judgment, but as soon as he removes the righteous from the midst, his judgment ensues. We have already seen several biblical examples of this undeniable truth. Now we will consider a very important biblical prophecy which speaks of the mystery of iniquity, the restraint on it, the removal of the restraint, the total/open apostasy(falling away) of christendom and the revelation of the man of sin(the antichrist). We will also consider how this prophecy tallies with the parable of the wheat and tares, and the parable of the leaven, which the Lord Jesus taught when he opened his mouth in Matthew 13 to reveal the mysteries of the kindgom of heaven. Here's a juxtaposition of the prophecy and t...

The Restraint On Total Apostasy & Judgment Of Damnation. Throughout scripture God's restraint(the time of his patience) in pouring out consummate judgment on iniquity, is the righteous. As long as the righteous are still found in the midst, God is restrained from pouring out judgment, but as soon as he removes the righteous from the midst, his judgment ensues. In the days of Noah, God's restraint was only Noah who was a preacher of righteousness, and the Spirit of God in relationship with Noah was striving to persuade and convict that generation of the coming judgment but their hearts were hardened in evil. God said "My Spirit will not always strive with man for he is flesh(he is carnal, unresponsive to the things of the Spirit) yet his days shall be a hundred and twenty years". Genesis 6:3. God thus gave a timeline for that generation, the timeline of his patience while the ark was being prepared, and when that time elapsed and the ark was ready, God shu...

In the solemnity of the times, it takes utter spiritual blindness for us to see the unprecedented taking place in our days, and merely assume it's nothing unusual/spectacular; seeking to explain it away with mere words of human wisdom/logic, rather than seek the face of God to grant us spiritual understanding of the times. Lack of spiritual discernment and understanding of the times, will be very costly in these days, worse still the lack of discernment of the body of Christ, as that which the heart of God is fully set on, and the object of the Lord's greatest affection, for which he will spare nothing in the world, to purge, purify and put her in order. The Code 19 In Covid-19. A Major Setback For A Reset. In a vision on the 21st of January 2020, a voice spoke saying "We are still in 2019". This sounded quite incredible and absurd as it made no sense then, seeing we were already 21 days into the new year; it also was like a negative declaration, like a setba...

Discerning The Times Living & Seeing Beyond The Breaking News. December last year(2019), the Lord said that he has taken up time and time has ceased to be what it used to be, as scheduled by men. This he said indicating that times/seasons have changed. He also said it is a time of perfect alignment, a time in which he will cause things to align after the counsel of his own will. In an open trance On the 30th of December 2019, i saw a very bright light like the Sun covering and occupying the entire horizon of space and time, and it was such that when men try to look into the future, they saw nothing but that dazzling light, thus they were left wondering if it meant that there was nothing more in the future, for it was as though time had come to an end, being sucked up/eclipsed by that dazzling light which filled/occupied the entire horizon of time and space. I shared this with a few brethren at the beginning of the new year(2020). What This Means For The Church. So muc...

Activate The 'Always Merry And Joyful' Mode' in season and out of season! Whether it's Christmas or not... "Rejoice in the Lord always: and again i say Rejoice."  Philippians 4:4. Notice the scripture says to rejoice in the Lord,  not in yourself, in people or in things happening around you, but in the Lord. You might have all the reason in some seasons to be angry and moody in yourself, crestfallen and downcast in the disappointments/failures of people and everything around you, but you have every reason in every season to rejoice in the Lord Jesus. The Psalmist(King David) was a man of like passions and flaws, yet he knew just how to unplug from the downcast and crestfallen mode/mood of his soul, and plug into the joy of the Lord. Whenever his soul was cast down within him, he remembered the Lord. Psalm 42:5-6. If it has to be Christmas season or day for you to be merry and joyful, then something is wrong; your merriment is temporal, transient and...

The Agony & Burden Of A Nation @ 59. Which is easier to say? "Happy Independence!" Or "Happy New Month"? When you live in a nation where for the past 59 years, provision of basic infrastructure has been a promise and struggle for successive governments to achieve, it's such a burden to say a happy 59th. When you live in a nation in the 21st century, where power supply and access to clean water is a luxury, it's such a heaviness and agony of heart to say happy independence; especially in the face of a glaring fact that it is a nation so blessed with natural resources, and men/women who are so capaciously resourced and resourceful. When you live in a nation where money is so revered and valued above everything including human lives, and such a flawed and dangerous value system is the fabric/core of society; it is such a heavy burden which often leaves those whose contemplation and grouse it is, utterly speechless and helpless in the face of a s...

There is much darkness in the land, the nation is engulfed in the darkness of the fear of man/men. According to scriptures, the fear of man brings a snare; thus the people/citizens are ensnared and held in bondage/slavery to men who speak tough and walk roughly like they're sovereign/almighty, and can curse, kill and make alive, whomsoever they will. Some speak like they own the people of God, others walk like they own the nation and her armed forces, while some traverse the length and breadth of the nation like the lives and breath of it's citizens lies in their hands, and they can kill anyone they like, and possess any land they want.  The oppression and suppression in the land is so much, that it leads to deep depression whereby many contemplate suicide.  From the pulpits to the corridors of power in the institutions of government, to the forced grazing fields and streets of our nation, we see the pride, pomp and glory of these men who walk around and p...

False Assertions Addressed By John.  *  "If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth" 1 John 1:6 In the scriptures of truth, darkness is so often related to sin as though synonymous with it. Soon as man touched/meddled with sin in the garden, the entire human race was plunged into darkness; thus, the first and most spontaneous reaction Adam & Eve had to the rays of the bright presence of God, when he came walking in the garden, was to flee and hide from the light of his presence.  In the dark shade of the branches and leaves of the trees of the garden, they sought for shelter and a covering from the light of God's presence. Genesis 3:8-13. The Lord Jesus in John 3:19-21 said: "t his is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved  darkness  rather than light, because their deeds were evil.  For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, ...
