Unending Horizons Of Truth.

  As early as in old testament prophecy, holiness was clearly defined in it's true character and essence as 'Unto the Lord' - "Holiness Unto The Lord" Zechariah 14:20-21 & Jeremiah 2:3. True righteousness and holiness is not unto ourselves or unto men as seeking the approval of men, but unto the Lord and thus lies in occupation with the Lord. When we teach righteousness, sanctification & holiness as themes, things or virtues in themselves which we're to set out or strive to attain, we're already programmed for religious self occupation and that's defeat even before a fall. We are not called to be holy or righteous, neither are we called to fellowship with our self efforts to be holy or righteous, we are rather called to fellowship with the Son of God who is our sanctification and rightousness. When God in the scripture of truth says: "Be holy for i am holy"(1 Peter 1:16) it is not a call to holiness as a theme or thing in itself, i...

Still on t he issue of the significance of the revelation/appearing of Jesus Christ to the church, Hebrews 9:28 clearly states that his appearing again unto those who look for him, is unto salvation. "Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation." This is of course the salvation ready to be revealed in the last time which goes with the revelation/appearing of the Lord Jesus according to 1st Peter 1:5 & 13 👇🏼 5  Who are kept guarded by  the  power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in  the  last time. 13  Wherefore, having girded up the loins of your mind,  be  sober and  hope with perfect stedfastness in the grace  which will be  brought to you at  the  revelation of Jesus Christ. Verse 9 calls it the salvation of our soul which is the end, conclusion or consummation of our faith.👇🏼 9  R...

1st Peter 1:3-5 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who, according to his great mercy, has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from among the dead, to an incorruptible and undefiled and unfading inheritance, reserved in the heavens for you, who are kept guarded by the power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. *Mark "Inheritance reserved in the heavens for you", and "salvation ready to be revealed in the last time."  Now let's read verse 6 to 7  "Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations: That the proving of your faith, which is more precious than gold that perishes, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ".  Here in verses 6 & 7 scripture speaks of the test/proving of our faith; how it is much more precious to ...

 Your Pastor Is The Jesus You See.  This is one of the favourite captivating lines & chain of words used by vain talkers/preachers to seduce & bind men to themselves.  They will tell you that they represent God; they represent Christ to the church. That in his absence they are the Christ you see. None of the apostles preached such a crap.  Peter writing to the overseers and elders of the church on spiritual leadership, speaks of Christ as the Chief shepherd, and he himself as nothing but an elder also. - 1st Peter 5:1-5. He never said anything like representing the Chief Shepherd to the elders or being a kind of a general overseer who has general oversight of both the overseers & the flock/church at large; neither did he say anything like the elders representing or being a kind of Chief Shepherd to the flock.  There is only one Chief Shepherd and no elder is to usurp his place or act in His stead as though representing Him to His people.  Echoes...

  There is the faith of the gospel of salvation and there is the hope of the gospel of salvation.  The faith of the gospel dwells on what God has wrought for us in Christ, what is ours in Christ now. What God has wrought for us is in Christ and not in ourselves; apart from Christ we have no access to what God has wrought for us; in ourselves apart from Christ we have nothing good; the apostle Paul in the 18th verse of Romans 7 says: " For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing".  Another apostle(John) says in the fifth chapter of 1st John: " And this is the witness, that God has given to us eternal life; and this life is in his Son. He that has the Son has life: he that has not the Son of God has not life"(1John 5:11-12).  This life is in His Son, not in us/ourselves as custodians of it apart from the Son. The Son is the custodian of eternal life such that it is only in relationship with the Son that we have it. W hat God has wrought ...

Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that i desire beside thee. Psalm 73:25. Thou wilt show me the path of life; in thy presence is fulness of joy and at thy righthand there are pleasures for evermore. Psalm 16:11. Inasmuch as the Lord is all that we have, He should also be all that we desire and find satisfaction in. It is not enough to know and profess that He is all that we have(whom have i in heaven and on earth but thee); we ought to also come to know & have Him as our only desire and satisfaction, such that we desire none beside Him and find no satisfaction in anyother but Him. Christ speaking in David declares in the sixteenth psalm: "Jehovah is my portion(my inheritance) and my cup:"(Psalm 16:5). What is the difference? My portion is what belongs to me, -what is mine, whether or not I enjoy it. My cup is what I actually appropriate, drink, enjoy or make my own. With the Lord, indeed, His portion and His joy were one: Jehovah was the me...

  Where Heathenism Thrives In 'Christian' Prayer Today. The religious mindset that loud prayers of repetitions are powerful & heard by God, is that which Jesus revealed as a heathen/pagan practise & a vain/empty religious exercise. Matthew 6:7 But when ye pray, use not  vain   repetition s, as the heathen  do : for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him. Mark the words: "they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking". This is not just a thought or mindset but a practise thus Jesus warns his disciples against using vain repetition while praying, like the heathen do. The wrong thought/mindset had already given birth to a wrong practise. There are many of such wrong and heathen thoughts(ideologies) & practises imported into present day christendom. When a supposed christian preacher comes up shouting fire ...

The True Word Of Faith: Faith In The Resurrection Of Christ.  The righteousness which is of faith is anchored on the resurrection of Christ, and by resurrection the cross of Christ is implied. The foundation of the resurrection is the cross, as without the death on the cross, there would be no such thing as resurrection; and the resurrection is the basis/ground of justification and righteousness by faith(Romans 4:25). The righteousness which is of faith rebukes unbelief in the resurrection power, and emphasizes the word of faith in the resurrection power. Romans 10:6-9 But the righteousness of faith speaks thus: Do not say in thine heart, Who shall ascend to the heavens? that is, to bring Christ down; or, Who shall descend into the abyss? that is, to bring up Christ from among  the  dead. But what says it? The word is near thee, in thy mouth and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach: that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth Jesus as Lord, and ...

In recent years & times i've seen people behave in very abnormal/strange ways; i mean people you deem to be normal, acting in such a way that makes you wonder if they actually have a beating human heart and conscience.  There's absolutely nothing normal with speaking and reaching an agreement with someone, only for the person to renege on the agreement and act like nothing happened; no remorse, no apologies or explanation for defaulting.  Imagine you just spoke with someone on the phone and he or she says am going to do this or that, but fails to do so & never got in touch to say am sorry i couldn't make it; it feels like being treated like dung, worse still like you don't even exist. One might say maybe they forgot; well, the fact that they forgot shows they actually have no true value for the human relationship.  What you truly value, you would regard, respect & hold/treat rightly.  I've seen brethren 'in the faith' renege on agreement and go o...

The flesh(human body) profits nothing(John 6:63) Flesh & blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God(1st Corinthians 15:50). The flesh does not abide; all it eats, ingests, wears, puts on, takes up, gathers or amasses to itself ends in decay & decomposition/corruption. No matter how much you sow to the flesh, the harvest at the end of the day is corruption/decomposition - Galatians 6:8. The flesh being futile is naturally inclined to vanity. All it seeks, desires and craves for are vain things, ephemeral and transient. It does not desire nor care about spiritual things or anything eternal. With it's lusts, affections & works, it is opposed to and contrary to the things of the Spirit, lusting against the Spirit and warring against the soul. Galatians 5:17, 19-24; 1 Peter 2:11. You want to know just how hostile the flesh is? It does not give a damn about where your soul is going to hereafter. All it cares about is it's own pleasure & satisfaction in this life...

All Flesh Is As Grass. "All flesh  is  as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you." - 1st Peter 1:24-25. Do we live & walk in the consciousness of this undeniable scriptural truth about the frailty & futility of the flesh, which states that all flesh is as grass? Words of truth lifted by the apostle Peter from the prophetic book of Isaiah: 👇 Isaiah 40:3-8 " The voice of one crying in the wilderness: Prepare ye the way of Jehovah, make straight in the desert a highway for our God! Every valley shall be raised up, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places a plain. And the glory of Jehovah shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see  it  together: for the mouth of Jehovah hath spoken. A voice...

Contrary to what scripture teaches about this present age being an evil age with satan as the god of it, the natural human mind reasons that since the church is in the world this must be the church age. The church being presently in the world does not automatically make this present age a church age; neither does t he fact that it's a conventional teaching make it so. The fact that the messiah came into the world & dwelt amongst men did not automatically constitute/make the time he was here a messianic age. On the contrary scripture says "He was in the world and the world was made by Him but the world knew him not. He came to his own, and his own received him not"(John 1:10-11). When asked by Pilate: "Are you the king of the Jews?"; He answered and said: " My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence." John 18:33-3...

From the beginning of the new year, i received a strong burden to teach on this subject & disseminate the scriptural truth concerning it.  Three days ago i got a message from a brother who sent in some questions and made mention of the 'church age' in one of his questions. That really got my attention, knowing that i've borne a burden of ministry along those lines for some days. As i pondered in silence, it was impressed on me that it's time to share on the subject and not keep back.  There are different strains of doctrinal error & confusion today stemming from the assumption that we are in an age known as the church age.  Scripture nowhere speaks of any such thing as a 'church age' or 'christian age' as the scholarly yet overly assumptious minds of men, who take up theology as mere intellectual exercise, have assumed & assigned to this present age.  In Galatians 1:3-4 scripture refers to this present age as an evil age.  "Grace to you,...
