The Sword of Division

Published in Articles

 

 

For those who believe Jesus is only a prophet, my question is do they also believe that, as a true prophet, His words are truthful? 

 

 

If the answer is yes, then I wonder if they understand let alone believe in the words spoken by Christ whom of course they admit is a true prophet! 

 

Well, below are some key words spoken by Christ: 

 

"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."

 

~John 14:6

 

"Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: 

 

And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?"

 

~ John 11:25-26

 

The truth of the matter is, it is simply nothing but evidence of confusion for anyone to say he or she believes Christ is a true prophet, yet continually engage in everything contradictory and contrary to His words and whom He claims to be. If you believe that, Christ is a true prophet, then it makes no sense at all to keep rejecting or disbelieving the words of the one whom you admit is in fact a true prophet! And if as He has emphatically stated, He is the Resurrection and life itself, the truth, the only way of reconciling back to God's Holy Spirit and indeed the only means by, which man can enter and have eternal life in God's kingdom, then clearly it makes no sense to simply carry on as usual with your religious ethics and ignore everything He says .  If as Jesus claims, He is the only truth, way and life, then all other ways can only be lies, which can never lead to eternal life but a dead end.

 

Today, if you are reading this and you happen to be one of those who adamantly believe, that Jesus is only a prophet, my question for you today is: Do you believe in His words? Do you even understand let alone believe in who He says He is? Have you ever taken the time to learn and understand for yourself Jesus's words or does your entire conclusions about Him boils down to what you have been told in your religious sector? If Christ is indeed the truth and as the truth the only way of having eternal life in heaven, is it really wise for you to continually disbelieve the words of Christ whom you admit is a true prophet of God? The fact is, you cannot truly claim you believe in a prophet but not in the words of the prophet. You cannot say you believe Jesus is a true Prophet of the Almighty true God, yet you continually reject His words.  And if you don't believe in the words of Jesus Christ, then strictly speaking from my own belief perspective in the true Word of Christ, your believe is not in the true God.

 

Based on the revelation and understanding afforded to me by the Holy Spirit of God, whom Jesus as brightness of God's glory came from heaven to earth to reconcile us with, Jesus is actually God's Word of truth revealed to mankind (John 1:1-14). The Word of God is a diving sword. It divides good from evil, darkness from light and the living from the dead.  Religion, cultures and traditions of man swiftly unities. But the name of Christ as the shaper than double-edged Word of God manifested in the flesh will always divide (Hebrews 4:12).

 

There are so much hidden evil in the end times world of today which are masqueraded as good in order to keep many souls separated from real goodness and firmly in evil.

Carrying on in this New Year with business as usual with religion is not an option if indeed your goal is to make eternal life and avoid eternal damnation in hell fire. Now for those who sees it as their mission purpose to rubbish the idea of heaven and hell as myth, my question is, is the idea of punishment for crimes in the human world a myth or reality?  If there is punishment aspect woven into human carnal justice system, then it makes no sense to think that, God's system of divine justice will be completely void of penalty and punishment for infringing His divine rules and principles of life. The Good News is that, at the heart of God's justice system is grace and mercy and God's mercy and grace revealed is Christ (Romans  6:23). God created all things with His Word and the only way we can avoid His judgement wrath is by our total surrender to His Word of mercy and grace, which is Christ. God and His Word of grace, mercy and truth are inseparable! Therefore, Christ as God's Word revealed in the flesh is actually the same as God (John 10:30). And as my Jesus would  say:  Believest thou this?"  

 

Your believe dictates your reasoning mindset, actions, pre-conceived ideas of what you consider right or wrong, your spiritual identity as per whether you are a son of God or slave to sin, your status as per whether you are spiritually alive or dead, and your position of standing or non-standing with God. Only if your belief is genuinely of Christ can you be a son of God and as a son of God, a living soul and peculiar spirit that is of His royal priesthood of life (John 1:12, 3:16, 1 Peter 2-1-10). If through Christ the sword of division you have genuinely become a peculiar spirit and of God's own royal priesthood, the sinful world of flesh cannot agree with you nor can you again be in agreement with the sinful world of flesh. The world will hate you for the fact that even though you are in the world, you are no longer of the world (John 15:11-23). This hatred is not a bad thing. It is indeed proof that through Christ the sword of division, you are divided from evil, darkness the dead and separated unto God as light to be His living good saint.

 

If in this New Year finding the true way to eternal life is what you are after, Jesus as the only way, truth and life itself is calling you today to come out of death and darkness and be reconciled into Him as the light of the world and only way of having eternal life as life itself (John 8:12, 14:6). In essence He says:    

 

"Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. 

 

And a man's foes shall be they of his own household. He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. 

 

And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.

 

~Matthew 10:34-39

The Warfare Mind-games

Published in Articles

The mind is a very important aspect of our being. It dictates our actions, reactions and reasoning process. As an important aspect of our being, the mind is one area that is constantly targeted by the devil to create confusions, doubt and ultimately unbelief against the true Word of God.

A lot of the time when we think of warfare, we hardly consider the mind as the worse warfare platform of all. The mind is not only a warfront platform, it is a place where spiritual war is fought and can be outrightly won or lost. The mind as a battlefront is a place were the right Godly thoughts, ideas and beliefs are constantly at loggerheads with devilish suggestions, ideology of evil and wicked sinful information. Sadly, several souls have in fact lost the mind battle with Satan even though in the natural religious arena, they continually appear to be highly militant and seem to be having great upper hand against the devil in the casting and binding physical religious world arena.

The devil targets the mind because he knows that if he can control the mind, then he will be in charge of the thoughts and reasoning process. The devil knows that whosoever controls the thoughts and reasoning process dictates the human beliefs, aspirations, inspirations, feelings, life priorities, ideology, actions and reactions in the world. And being the rebel that he is, the devil is after controlling the mind to lead and direct it in total rebellion against God's righteous ideas and perfect ordained ways of life.

The devil knows that if he can clog up the reasoning process with false ideas and contaminate it with wicked lies and antichrist ideas, the spirit man will be highly resistant to Godly truth and extremely embracing to spiritual lies as intended by Satan. Indeed without proper decontamination of our spiritual mind with Godly truth, the spirit man will follow devilishly intended soul destructive path and risks ending up completely permanently condemned in damnation of hell judgement fire.

Many people today in the Christendom arena are daily shopping for deliverance like never before. They are desperately going from one Church to another earnestly seeking some man or woman of God to deliver them either through laying of hands, or by the pouring of olive oil on their heads, through washing with religious soaps by the river, or by the drinking of some sort of concussion mixed with ribena drink, etc. The fact of the matter is, to pursue this herbalist concept of deliverance, which has been imported into the Church arena as a Godly solution concept in order to deny people true knowledge of deliverance, is in itself evidence of devil's controlling grip over the thought process.

Deliverance is only possible through the name, power and blood of Jesus. Any ideology of deliverance outside of the name, power and blood of Jesus is nothing but a devilish lie masqueraded as Godly truth for the purpose and essence of keeping souls in the world bound in darkness bondage. Whilst it is possible for us to experience deliverance through laying of hands, such deliverance will be extremely short lived if the mindset is not renewed. The key to our mind renewal is in the knowledge and understanding of the Word of God. When we have knowledge and true meaning of God's Word, we have every advantage over the devil. And this is the reason why the devil floods people's mind with lies and seeks desperately to keep people in his lies so that they will not have understanding of true knowledge and by knowledge freedom and total deliverance from his wicked lies.

The deliverance several souls in the Christendom arena needs today is a mind deliverance. If the thought process is controlled by the devil then the line of reasoning is bound to consistently lead to negative conviction and conclusions. Mind deliverance can only take place when we begin to seek God in relationship mindset and not in heart and mind of quick fixes for our worldly problems. It is only through our relentless daily personal relationship and fellowship with God's Holy Spirit that we can continuously counteract devilish lies and remain overcomers against the wicked lies and ideas that Satan constantly throws at us in order to make us doubt God and lure us away from God's holy presence back into his sinfulness.

It is highly important as believers that we are constantly conscious of the fact that the real battle arena is actually in the mind. If there is a battle going on in our minds and we are oblivious to this fact, then it becomes virtually impossible to be able to counteract the wicked weapons of lies the enemy relentlessly uses to control the mindset and keep the spirit man bound in sin.

Today as you read this, take a moment to pause and ask yourself: What is the state of my mind and what exactly is going on in there right now that I might for all intent and purposes be totally oblivious to.

I pray you will by grace and mercy of God win the battle of the mind against Satan and not end up as a victim of his wicked mind games. Amen.

Ephesians 4:20-24

"But ye have not so learned Christ;

If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:

That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;

And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;

And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness".

God Is Love

Published in Articles

The one thing Satan as spirit of hatred itself does not wish for us to know and bear record of is that God is love itself. Several people in the world today are daily busy blaming God for the evil atrocities of the devil. They find it hard to comprehend that God loves them or that He cares because of what they are going through and because of all the evil things that is going on in the world. The truth however remains that, God is indeed love. It is however impossible to see and comprehend God's love for us when our focus is on this fallen world of sin. We can only see evidence of God's love for us when we fix our eyes on Christ the author and finisher of our faith (Hebrews 12:1-3).

No matter what you are going through today, it is important you remain convinced of God's love for you. Shut the eyes of sight today with your shout of hallelujah to the living LORD of hosts. Rebuke all the evidence of lies Satan is throwing at you by fixing your eyes on Christ who is God's evidence of love for you. Liberate yourself from the emotional corner of Satan by giving the LORD who is love itself a praise. Delight in His presence and know for sure that, God loves you no matter the circumstances or situation you can ever find yourself in.

I pray the grace of our LORD Jesus Christ, the love of God revealed and the only means of us having sweet fellowship with the Holy Spirit, will continually rest and abide with you always. Amen.

"He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.

Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins."

~1 John 4:8-10

Sonship Dominion

Published in Articles

"And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind.

 

And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle.

 

And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.  

 

And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever,

 

The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying,

 

Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created."

 

~Revelation 4:6-11

 

The book of Revelation is the only book in the bible, which literarily promises the reader that he or she will be blessed from reading the prophecy therein (Revelation 1:3). Nonetheless, Revelation is a book some Christians rarely read let alone understand. And the excuses often given for not reading it is that, it is full of scary characters or strange symbolisms. The fact is, fear is not our potion, for God has not given us the spirit of fear (2 Timothy 1:7). 

The book of Revelation is about the pre-genesis to revelation spiritual trip John had in, which he was, revealed the past, present and the future events that are to come in God's spiritual events timeline. In the first three Chapters of Revelation, Christ revealed to John His assessment of the spiritual performance of the 7 Churches in Asia in form of the letters to the Churches. Following this segment of John's revelation experience, he then became in open vision revelation of the majestic throne of the Almighty God. As detailed in Revelation 4:7, in the midst of the throne were 4 characters: The eagle, the lion, the calf and one with a face as a man. In addition, were also the creature that has all eyes and the six characters referred to as four beasts, which has six wings.

 

The Bible from Genesis to Revelation is indeed all about Jesus. And the 4 beast in the midst of the throne are actually representative of the holy nature and Deity character of Christ who as the inly begotten Son of God is the only one by, which we can acquire sonship dominion status. The lion is representative of Christ's earthly dominion as the Lion of the Tribe of Judah. The eagle is representative of His heavenly dominion as our heavenly last Adam. The calf is representative of Christ as the Lamb who was slain for the remissions of our sins. Christ as the Lamb of God was slain for the remission of our sins to enable us become sons of God through Him as the only begotten Son of God, following our repentance from sins and acceptance of Him as LORD and Saviour. The calf is also representative of the gentle, meek and humble character of Christ, that we are meant to have as partakers of His sonship and holy sovereign authority . of God even though we are in Christ in all realms and dominion God's lion and eagle offspring seeds. The man of course is representative of Christ as the new Adam who as the only true begotten Son of God is the only one we can acquire Godly sonship dominion from. 

 

The 6 wings is not a stand alone figure instead it is 6x4=24, which is the number of the elders before the throne of God. The 24 elders in the book of revelation are representative of those who through Christ's atonement blood have become redeemed and transformed to be adopted priests and kings sons of God through Christ. The two in 24 is symbolic of the number of agreement and four is the number of open door. Twenty four therefore as a number, is also highlighting the fact that, we have open door to heaven through Christ as the blood of covenant and only door to entering God's eternal life kingdom through our new birth in Him. The adopted sons of God through Christ, which is representative by the 24 elders have unrestricted access to appear before God's majestic throne. And just as we see the 24 elders lay down their crowns in worship before the throne, which of course has Christ in the midst of it as God in the flesh, so are the redeem in Christ meant to worship Christ as King of kings in spirit and truth and in complete total surrender to His dominion Will and Sovereign authority of life. 

 

The all eyes creature is representative of God’s Omniscient, Omnipotent and Omnipresence character and nature.  The lighting coming from the midst of the throne is representative of God’s power, judgement and authority, which those that are His adopted sons in Christ are a partaker of both on earth and, in heaven for eternity.  

 

All these will of course sound like mumbo jumbo to those who are without revelation of Christ's Kingship dominion and All-in all authority. This of course is just the beginning of revelations. Christ as the King of kings revealed from Genesis to Revelation is God's Word of authority revealed in the flesh. And it is only through His Sonship dominion that we can become adopted sons if God, partake in His authority, overcome all evil and inherit His everlasting kingdom of eternal rest, joy and peace. Christ is able to open the spiritual blind eyes of anyone and afford revelation understanding of who He is, was and ever shall be. As Alpha and Omega King of kings of revelation, He awaits you today if you are yet to surrender all to Him. He awaits you to take you on a revelation journey as you surrender all to Him as the Alpha and Omega.  Answer Christ's call today if you are yet to so you can step out of darkness into Him as marvellous light. And begin to operate in His sonship dominion and live your every day life in His presence full of His daily revelations of life and truth 

 

"For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. 

 

For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. 

 

The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: 

 

And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together."

 

~ Romans 8:14-17
