Enduring the Thoroughness of the Spirit
We must learn to honour our parents, bless them and care for them: we must not forget them. We cannot sit on the throne and become stars when we disobey our parents both natural and spiritual. (Eph. 6:2)
Jesus Christ our Lord is the bright and morning star. There are many other stars; God made Lucifer a star. He was made/ configured like that from the moment he awakened. (Isa. 14:12)
Angels cannot sit on the throne because they didn’t work for it or earn it. But when dust (man) fights and goes through the training of journeying upwards to become a Christ- a star, a morning star- such becomes eligible for the reward. (Heb. 1:5-7)
Stars are heavenly beings or heavenly bodies. The calling to come up to the heavens is hanging on every one of us. (Heb. 3:1)
One of Jesus’ major focuses was to become the Bright and the Morning Star; He took it as a compulsory goal. It is not about preaching as it is possible for many preachers not to inherit God’s promise. (Rev. 2:28, 22:16)
It is possible to preach the gospel of Christ and still be cast away. We must take heed to ourselves and the doctrine as it is the only way we will be saved and raised. (1 Cor. 9:27, 1 Tim. 4:16)
Salvation is our inheritance; the life that saves is Everlasting life. We need to focus on saving ourselves first and then those who hear us. Salvation is the acquisition of the nature of God. (1 Cor. 9:27, 1 Tim. 4:14, 18)
The things God has prepared for those who love Him are for the breaking down of wrong formations in us. (1 Cor. 2:9)
Satan too has his spirit; when he breathes it into us, we begin to live in such a manner until we become it, thereby forming a nature in us. Some spirits do not just possess but bring about a formation in us. (1 Jhn. 2:29, Rom. 8:16)
The milk of the word cannot be overemphasised, it is necessary for us because the Holy Ghost who administers it to us is the same Spirit that administers the realm of Christ to us. The Holy Ghost becomes the spirit of truth in this realm. (Eph. 4:20-21)
It is not just the things we do that are wrong, spirits also defy our thought realm. Our thoughts can defile us as they have been corrupted and perverted by spirits. When we think wrongly, we behave and talk wrongly. (Matt. 15:18, 1 Cor. 2:16)
The mind of Christ is administered by the spirit in Christ. We are carnal because of the arrangement of our minds but the learning of Christ makes us spiritual. (1 Cor. 2:16, Rom. 8:6)
Women must be spiritual, and Christ is a spiritual being that we must follow. A spiritual man is not spooky but is a charity being. We cannot claim to be spiritual without being charitable; the mind of Christ makes us spiritual. (1 Cor. 14:1-12)
No matter what men naturally think of us, we are measured in the spirit with these standards of charity. The Lord can endow us with supernatural gifts without being raised. A man is nothing until he has come to the place of charity. (1 Cor. 13:1-4)
Our profit in the gospel is dependent on our yieldedness and obedience to instructions. We can hear preaching and not hear Christ (the spirit that makes us Christ). Our becoming is in doing what God wants us to do. (Eph. 4:20-21)
Satan framed the carnal man to be self-centred. The law/spirit of Christ comes to us by bringing instructions that make us rate others above ourselves. (Rom. 8:2)
The realm of milk leads us to faith towards God so we can always have the confidence to look up rather than down. Part of the training we get in this realm is that our needs are supplied according to the Spirit. (1 Cor. 13:5, Phil. 4:19)
We cannot gain what we want in the realm of milk but what we need. We cannot be presumptuous in this realm to demand what we do not need. Faith comes from above for what is necessary, not for frivolity; it is a training in contentment. (1 Jhn. 5:4)
Faith teaches us not to live by sight. Our needs cannot be met by man but God; this level is very good for every believer, as it helps us both in life and ministry. What we learn here can be taken when we begin to ascend to other levels in the spirit. (1 Cor. 13:11, 2 Cor. 5:7)
As believers, we once lived by faith and not by knowledge, even in our love walk. But the more we abound in knowledge, the more we ought to abound in love conversations. (Phil. 1:9)
The doctrine of Christ is to raise a godly and charitable man. If we are sensitive to the Lord when we try to justify our defaults in our love walk, we will never try to exploit the love walk of others as this is a dangerous place to be in. (Col. 3:14, 2 Tim. 2:24)
We acquire the mind of Christ by learning and doing Christ. To become a man is to become a charity man out of a pure heart and unfeigned faith. (Rom. 1:16-17, 1 Cor. 13:11)
We have to exercise ourselves in Christ and proceed to Everlasting life, which is the life of God that is so much higher than that of Christ. We must hasten in obeying the laws of Christ because there are greater laws to be obeyed in Everlasting life. (1 Cor. 13:11, 1 Jhn. 1:1-2)
The level of love in Everlasting life is much greater than the love in the realm of Christ. God is love. Everlasting life is the life of God just as Eternal life is also His life. (Jhn. 1:1-2, 1 Cor. 2:14, 1 Jhn. 4:16)
Satan wants worship the same way God does. He lures us through natures he has worked inside us in order to receive worship. (Isa. 14:14, 1 Jhn. 1:1)
One of the ways to look upon the things that the voice of the Son of God is communicating to us is to do it, or else they'll slip. We'll handle it when we see, hear and look upon it. (1 Jhn. 1:5-6, 2:11)
The image of God is love. God wants to raise love beings in our midst so we must take every level of our growth as important. Everlasting life is an allocation for conversion, to make us little. (1 Tim. 1:5, 1 Jhn. 3:14)
Morning Stars are swift, meek and lowly because of conversion. The bright and morning star is a lamb that was slain before the foundation of the world. There are lambs at different stages, because of conversion and obedience. (Heb. 7:26, 1:4, Rev. 13:8)
The things of God are tempered with love nature. As we come in contact with God, we come in contact with love. God is a love being: those who know Him truly are His lovers and have also become love beings. (Isa. 66:2, Psa. 51:17)
As we increase in the knowledge of God, we will also increase in love. God wants to raise love beings. We were not made love beings when we became born again, instead, we must be ready to learn. (Jhn. 17:3, 1 Jhn. 4:8)
