The Gifts and Sacrifices of God
The covenant is meant to help men attain the promise; thus, God is showing us the way to the promise. We cannot make covenants without leading hence, God helps us to make covenants as He leads us. (Heb. 8:5-9, Psa. 23:2)
God made covenants with stones and not the children of Israel in the wilderness with the intention that the covenant on stones will be written on their hearts. (Exod. 31:18, 34:1)
There is no kingdom of God/heaven without covenants. The essence of the kingdom of God is His life. We cannot enter the kingdom without the understanding of the kingdom as life. The Pharisees have the capacity to locate the entrance into the kingdom of God. (Matt. 23:2, 13, Jhn. 3:5)
In every kingdom, there is a lifestyle and the life is one that reigns. We do not have the very kingdom until we have the life that reigns, which is the crown of the kingdom. (Rom. 5:17, 21)
What we often call promises are not promises; we mistake promises for conversation, which is life, but not the core life. Satan was decked with promises. (Ezek. 28:12-13, Heb. 8:6)
Crowns are works of covenants and evidence of mastery. There is a crown on Christ's life and another on Everlasting Life. Men reign to an extent in Christ but the crown of Christ is not as evident as everlasting crowns. (James 1:12)
Our fathers in the faith have entrance into certain heights of understanding because they wear crowns. The Lord wants us to come into crowning. (1 Pet. 5:4, Rom. 6:22)
Without service, there cannot be covenants. Promises crown efforts: what God calls promises are crowns. Fruits are the crowns we bear; they are balls (crowns are balls). Crowns do not have horns. (Num. 17:8)
The seven churches are works/pillars that have stars as their heads. The body of Christ in Nigeria is committed to a few individuals who are star men. (Rev. 1:1-4)
God makes stars; stars are not fashioned themselves. A star is kitted differently from pillars. God makes a man the head/crown/star. (Deut. 28:13)
To know what is going on in the world, we should check the church as it is not easy for the church at this time to overpower the world around it.
A crowned work has become a promise; we are given promises in order to make us a promise. When we become a promise, we have become a crown of that life.
We must not assume the position that God has not called us into. We should be concerned about the well-being of the entire body of Christ but in our concern, we should be mindful of taking crowns that have not been given to us. (Exod. 20:26, 1 Pet. 5:4, 1:4)
The highest dimension of crowning is the unfading nature. No one gets to this stage unless they are able to turn many to righteousness. (1 Pet. 1:4, Dan. 12:3)
The intention of the High Priest is not just about the covenant but about promises; when we get the covenant, we possess the promises. We can have a conversation/life and not have the covenant of that life. (Heb. 8:7, 5:1, 8:3-4)
What the High Priest offers are gifts and sacrifices. Sacrifices are higher than gifts. The realm of the above is the realm of the Everlasting Father, while the Eternal God is from the East, a realm higher than the above. (James 1:17, Heb. 8:3)
Lights are gifts and the High Priest has these lights- the good and the perfect light. He purifies us to identify the gifts as He does not give these gifts in the sanctuary. (James 1:17, Mal. 3:3)
We are to seek the Lord for the covenant, which is the seal of every life. We cannot look for the blessed hope and the appearing of the great God in the sanctuary without being godly men or without being able to live against this present world. (Mal. 3:1; 2:5, Titus 2:11-13)
Prophet Malachi was able to see into the future of Israel by making known the activities of the New Testament priest who is Jesus. The blessed hope purifies godly men. (Mal. 2:1-9, Heb. 6:20)
Godliness is not enough to grant entrance into the most holy place; we need a being who has crossed the veil to come and take us across. The blessed hope has to come and purify the godly ones for entrance. (Titus 2:11-13, Mal. 3:2-3)
‘Silver’ is a godly man (Christ), while ‘brass’ represents the Levites, who are righteous men. One can enter life and not have life; having life is based on crowning. (Exod. 25:3)
The righteousness of Christ is what we must acquire to break through the veil into the Most Holy. It is at the veil that we obtain the crown of Christ's life which calls for higher crowns in the everlasting realm. (Rom. 6:13)
Just after we cross the veil, we must be given the milk of the incorruptible seed. At this stage, we are new born babes in the incorruptible realm and we have gold, though not full gold. Without the milk of the incorruptible word of God, we will not grow. (1 Pet. 1:23, 2:1-2, Lev. 8:8)
A man becomes golden in nature (but not full gold) when he crosses into the other side of the veil. At the beginning of this stage, the man is a newborn who can now be fed with the milk of the incorruptible word by the administration of the High Priest. (1 Pet. 2:2, Lev. 8:8)
The mind of Christ is His diadem around a man’s head. The incorruptible seed is a dicotyledon; it has two sides - the living and the abiding. The seed is the word of the kingdom of God; the word of God is His gift. (1 Cor. 2:16, James 1:17)
The good gift makes us live, the perfect gift makes us abide- these are both everlasting words. An abider is one who has no shadow of turning. (Jas. 1:17, 1 Pet. 1:23)
Seeds are the things that can be turned into flesh. The seed is corn, which is processed into flour to bake bread. Jesus sees the seed as a potential for flesh. (Jhn. 12:24, 6:51)
The flesh of Jesus is not just His outward body; it is what constitutes His inward nature which we are to feed on to obtain His life. (Jhn. 6:52-53, 14:10)
The flesh of the Son of God is a meal; His blood and flesh signify the presence of the Father inside Him. The Father is the living bread. Jesus ate the Father (bread) to have His Father live in Him. This bread became His flesh. (Jhn. 6:56-57, Heb. 1:2)
Jesus gave room for His Father to live in Him. The Father’s flesh is His (the Father’s) seed, which is His life. The Father's life is His corn turned into bread. Obedience is flesh/bread: to eat the flesh is to obey, to build the Father in us. (Jhn. 6:54-58)
The rod is used to break down and to build. Staff is for sacrifice, we must not stop when it comes to sacrifice. We cannot sacrifice if we have not been built as anyone who loves his life cannot sacrifice. (1 Pet. 1:2, Psa. 23:4)
Being born of the will of the blood entails a kind of sin that informs the whole body of a man. We need both the testimony (blood) and the word (flesh) to develop stature for sacrifice. (Jhn. 1:13)
The life (blood) that we have now is not ours but that of the enemy which is why we must lay our lives down in exchange for the life of the Son. (Rev. 12:11, Heb. 2:14)
Sin is a kind of blood that cannot be overcome except by the ministration of the blood of the Son of God through obedience. Everlasting Life is obedience and sprinkling. Sin is not terminated in a body until a man gets to blood. (Isa. 1:18, 1 Pet 1:2, Jhn 6:51)
When Jesus is giving us gifts, He is giving lights. He gives blood when He is giving sacrifice, meaning that we have to resist sin unto the shedding of the blood. (Heb. 8:12, 12:4)
Satan deals in blood or life; this is why he is a red dragon. Satan’s blood is also very prophetic and his sacrifices are to make men to kill everything of God in them, like he did in himself. (Rev. 12:3-4)
The dragon (Satan) has seven crowns and seven horns; these horns are covenants while the crowns are promises. (Rev. 12:3, Gen.3:6-7)
Anyone interested in Satan’s crown must have yielded to him to commit a high degree of sin enough for him to trust such a one to do his bidding. (Rom. 6:16)
The season over the earth is changing drastically as the world lies under the sway of the wicked one (Satan). He rewards men with riches and influence based on how much they can yield to him and not based on their labour in (academic) excellence. (1 Jhn. 5:19)
We as children must know Satan's whims, continuing in the pursuit of Eternal Life and desist from running a rat race and competing with men in the world. (Gen. 3:7, Matt. 4:8-9)
Both the blood and body are life; bread is obedience, blood is sacrifice. Light causes us to have fellowship with the Father and Son. (1 Jhn. 5:7; 1:7, Heb. 8:3)
If the children of Israel were able to come close to the mountain to hear God's sayings, there would have been no need for sacrifice. He wrote the commandments on stone (instead of their hearts) for them to attain unto it but they could not attain unto it for ages. (Exod. 25:22, Heb. 9:20, Lev. 16:13-14)
Fellowship with God means obedience to Him. To fellowship in this sense means to be a co-builder with God. As we obey the bread, the Lord will supply blood. (1 Jhn 1:6-7, 1 Cor. 3:9)
The strength of sin is the blood, and it can only be taken care of by a higher blood. If we are not in fellowship, we won’t have access to the cleansing of the blood. Doing the truth (everlasting light) unveils sin, and it is a hidden life. God will not bring blood our way if we cannot obey the truth. (1 Jhn. 1:6)
We need to bring ourselves to be sacrificed as there are lambs in us that need to be sacrificed just as in the Old Testament. This lamb is what we are, what we desire to keep hidden but God has offered His Lamb in exchange for our own lambs. (Num. 7:83)
We can't just be cleansed; we have to agree with the cleansing. We must cooperate with the sin to go else it remains. This is the essence of the High Priest, He intercedes for us and continues to implore us to let go of our sins. (Rom. 8:34, Heb. 7:25)
The decisions we make in our daily living shows the fellowship we are in. Those times are when covenants are made and crowns given. At this period, all sins are cleansed and a covenant is made, and once the covenant is made, we obtain the promises. (Mal. 2:5)
Covenant is a crown that seals the work. We gain mastery because we overcome certain things and spirits in our journey, those are covenants. (Rev. 2:26)
The spirit of a nature has a circumference through which he tries to tempt us at all points. But when we overcome, we gain judgement because we have conquered it in all its expressions and circumference. (Rev. 17:14; 21:7)
The strength of spirits is not possession but the existence of their nature in a man. It is in their ability to colonise man, but the Lord is raising us in this season to break those covenants and gain victory over them. (2 Cor. 2:14, Eph. 8:12, 1 Sam. 17:33)
For every warfare (temptation), there is a crown. Temptation is a means to blessing. The crown of Everlasting Life is necessary for inheriting Eternal Life. (Jas. 1:12, 22, Psa. 103:5)
We are crowned when our iniquities have been cleansed and our life has been redeemed. The crown is a seal or finishing of the work God wrought within us. (Jhn 3:33)
Crowns are not just to seal a work but to propel us into the next level. The highest birth is the birth of a crown; such a man cannot be touched by the wicked one. (Jude 1:21, 1 Jhn 5:18)
The works of God are His love, which shows His grace or compassion. (Psa. 145:9, Heb. 8:10)
The season of covenant is the time of the blood as covenants are not made without sacrifices. “I will be to them a God” is a promise, but men can leave the place of the covenant that is meant to bring them to this promise. (Heb. 8:10-11)
We must have been taught knowledge for us to acknowledge covenant, thus when teachers teach and show God, we can see. The sphere of agreement with God is what is referred to as covenant. (Heb. 8:11)
A person that knows God has life; knowing the only true God is a promise and dealing with this promise needs or involves covenants. We cannot get any of the promises of Everlasting Life without the covenant of His promises. (Jhn. 17:3)
The knowledge of God we acquire through covenant is not just knowledge about the things of God but a knowledge that makes us one with His Person. (Heb. 8:12-13)
God trusts the crowns we gain in Everlasting Life enough to, by it, give us His eternal crown. The mercy crown of Everlasting Life is positioned to receive the crown of Eternal Life.
When we keep ourselves in the love of God, we are waiting to receive mercy, which is a mercy in Everlasting Life. (Jude 1:21)
The understanding in 1 John. 5:20 is a crowning. There is a knowledge that is a crowning; it is not a knowledge for crowning’s sake but for the sake of knowledge. It is in the season of reigning with the everlasting crown that God gives us the eternal crown.
The wicked one and his wiles cannot touch anyone that has the mercy (everlasting) crown. We have to become pillars with the highest crown to be able to take the eternal crown. (1 Jhn. 5:18)
Everything about the rewards are crowns, masteries, and promises. It is through covenant that we access the crown. (2 Cor. 1:20)
In the realm of rewards, we do works by doing the promises. It is in this realm that the Godhead is committed to us. (Col. 2:9, Acts 17:29)
Everything about the head has measurements: the making of the head is a stature of crown everlasting. The head is a bundle of promises and its crown is mercy.
The crown for the head is the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ. The season of the head is not a one-day business. There is God and there is the throne. We cannot sit on the eternal throne unless we have those things that make up God. (Acts 17:29)
Knowing God is knowing the rewards/promises. Who God sent is the little lamb ‘Amnion’ because the Lamb is the knowing of the true God. (1 Jhn. 2:25, Jhn 17:3)
It is possible to get to the head and not reach the hair. The rewards together are a body of promises; some form the outward part and some the inward part of the body. (Dan 7:9, Rev 1:14)
The throne is the life of God; it came from within. The throne is not something God sits on externally; it is who He is on His inside. The throne is the summation for the operation of how God carries out His dominion.
The throne is the wisdom for ruling and skill to interpret reigning. Before any man will reign, such must have what it takes to sit on the throne. The throne of God is the expression of the very secret of how to reign; God brought it out and now He sits on it.
Eternal life is an embodiment of promises. The crown of life in Eternal life is the finishing of the seal of promises. There are many stages of life in Eternal life and it takes many life eternals to obtain Eternal life. (1 Jhn. 2:25)
God is a massive morning star that contains other morning stars. Even in the natural galaxies, stars can conglomerate to form one star; such was the case of the star that led the wise men from the east at Jesus’ birth. (Matt. 2:1-11)
The wise men from the East were led by a star to the place where Jesus was born - this shows that the star is a staff, a body of leadership. It can lead men, this is why Satan is such a dangerous being; he can also lead men. (Matt. 2:9-11)
A flock is the work of a star; flocks are not easy to scatter, they have to be led before they can be scattered.
David has a star in the spirit which Jesus came to raise high by being born as a son of David. David had his recommendation for leaders; such must be a shepherd and star, possessing the light of the morning. (2 Sam. 23:1-4)
