Excerpt: The Manifesto of the Living God
God has a manifesto that He seeks to communicate to His people, with the intention of getting to the end He has mapped out. (Jer. 29:11, 1 Pet. 1:9)
The Eternal purpose of the living God is God's manifesto that He has presented to man. God has an end and He is working towards man coming to it. The church is where God wants His manifesto to be revealed, or else we will remain ignorant.
Life Campaign is all about communicating the campaign (the living God’s agenda). The scripture Jeremiah 29:11 describes the campaign as it is in God’s heart. It is God who knows the thoughts He has towards us, and the end He has in mind. (Jer. 29:11)
‘Campaign’ in a political terrain is a time to make known your mission, vision and intention for the people. This is also a series of actions or principles tending towards a particular end.
The Living God is recruiting an army to marshall the battle for the deliverance of the souls of men.
God is communicating His agelong agenda to us via an understanding. We are being raised as a people of understanding; this is His battle strategy to cause us to inherit Eternal life.
Oftentimes, we act wrongly because we lack knowledge. God has raised for us Apostles, Prophets, and Teachers who will present to us the knowledge of God and show us God’s demands. (Hos. 4:6)
The enemy has painted wrong hopes to us and caused us to live and seek things that will pass away. However, when understanding visits us, light comes and we do that which is right, we know that God's intention is to raise His Army on earth and for this purpose has warfare begun on the earth. (Eph. 2:2-7)
The mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ are distinct entities that the church is meant to learn. Learning these entities means understanding the manifesto of God. (Col. 2:2)
Fulfillment of the ‘faith towards God and love to all saints’ is a prerequisite for the enlightenment of the eyes of our understanding. (Heb. 6:1, Eph. 1:15)
To be spiritual is not by being religious, but to understand the things that pertain to God. The labour of God’s servants is for our eyes of our understanding to be enlightened.
It is our present state that informs our behaviour. The day we change our estate in the spirit, we are helped to understand our identity in Christ, and walk in a manner that pleases God.
The publication of peace is the declaration of the manifesto of the living God, which is the Eternal purpose. We must make it our duty to seek the peace of God which is communicated to our hearts as we hear the Word of God. (Rom. 16:20, Is. 52:7)
There is a storm that hits every man that has not armed himself with the peace that God gives. What will cause us to be strong and resilient in the midst of the chaos, confusion, and hopelessness on the earth, is the peace of God. (Phil. 4:7)
The Kingdom of God is not merely an addition or profit for our labour in the flesh, but a Life that we should seek with all our hearts until we inherit it. (Matt. 6:33)
The ultimate agenda in the heart of God is for humanity to put on Divinity. The way for us to attain this calling is for us to fulfil His commandments and inherit His promise.
Jesus embodied the worst that humanity could ever become, for the purpose of partaking of humanity for the sake of humanity ultimately inheriting Divinity. (Heb. 13:4)
God’s ultimate desire is to give us So Great Salvation. He is not the God of wonders but of So Great Salvation. The focus is not the signs and wonders He showed, as these are only a confirmation of what He has spoken, but Eternal life. (Heb. 2:3-4)
God has an eternal purpose by which He bound His Son; to make known His mind to His children. For this reason, our Lord Jesus Christ was raised and built up, so that we can fulfil His agenda. (1 Pet. 1:18-21)
For us to attain God’s standards, we must fulfil the requirements; His commandments which are not grievous. The Church is meant to come into this promise, but it is required that they pay the price and meet up with God’s standards. (1 Jn. 5:3)
We have come to the zone where God’s mysteries cannot be understood except through his servants whom He has raised for us. (1 Jn. 1:2-4, Eph. 3)
The Church is founded on a tripod stand; the Apostles, Prophets and Jesus Christ as the Chief Cornerstone. We are meant to join ourselves to stand with this force; we are a project in progress, a building that God is working on. (Eph. 2:20)
‘Mystery’ is what God has hidden, but will unveil at the end of time. God gave this wisdom to the Apostles so that they can communicate this intention of God to the saints. (1 Pet. 1:20-21, Mk. 4:11)
The desire of God for the Church is to be weaned from milk. God wants to change our meals and feed us with His knowledge, and cause us to understand doctrine. Doctrines are teachings, and we cannot understand God’s agenda without being taught. (Is. 28:9)
The agenda of the enemy is to twist the purpose of God, by making the Church seek carnal things. Man ought to carry out God's agenda on earth, and God desires to prepare us through a series of training (teachings) for man to be able to carry out God's agenda. (Eph. 2:2, 10)
There must be continual administration of the doctrine of Christ for us to begin to see the real essence of the Church. We have to keep giving attendance to hearing. As we continue in this, we will change until we are completely transformed.
Our faith can never be effective if it is not properly communicated to us; there is a need for the publication of the Word of God. (Ps. 68:11, Is. 52:7, Acts 13:49)
It is not enough to validate the presence of Jesus in our lives by the things we can see in the natural. God desires much more for us which is to hear the Word of Salvation. (Heb. 2:3-4)
Our minds are often limited by what we can see. We sometimes attribute God’s greatness to what He can do for us in the natural. However, we must realize that God can do much more; the most important, of which is His ability to save us to the uttermost.
We must not be easily swayed by diverse doctrines that have flooded the earth, in the guise of the Gospel. Our gaze must be fixed on the weightier matters of the law; judgment, mercy, and faith. We must see the promise of the hope: the message of Eternal life. (Matt. 23:23)
We are not meant to look at the acts of God alone, but we are to focus on His ways.
As believers in a race, we do not have all the time as God’s will must be done in us within a space of time. (Rom. 9:28)
