In our bid to have a spiritual encounter with the Lord — to have contact with eternal life — we often overlook the ultimate thing that will deliver to us the promise. When we seem to be applying ourselves to the word of God, but are unable to touch the promise, it means we lack something in our application. What we lack is often elusive; disguising itself as trivial. Thus, in our strive, we must k...

God's grace is for Ministry. Its purpose is for accomplishing that which the Lord seeks in the lives of people. When what God seeks to wrought in the lives of the people through grace is established, His glory is seen i.e. His truth is manifested. Prior to this, the logistics for receiving grace must be laid; for without logistics (preparation) there is no impartation. In this series, "Th...

God desires to be joined together as one with man. In order for this to be made a reality, man must first seek the Lord by laboring to overcome evil. The man who strives lawfully in overcoming enters rest from his labors, which is the peace of God. In that state, the evil he has overcome is inconsequential. In that state, there is no condemnation and the man can access grace. This is the first ind...

God is spirit. Thus, every blessing from him can be accessed only in the spirit. Hence, a man's state (carnal/spiritual) determines whether or not he can receive from the Lord. Consequently, it is apparent that the Lord is hidden from the carnal man and is revealed to the spiritual man. For the man to find the Lord in His secret place, where grace is accessed, he must migrate from the natural...

God's love is infinite, immeasurable and incomprehensible by the natural mind. It is demonstrated in the constant willingness of the Lord to help man. A man must necessarily believe this in order to access grace — the divine influence in the life of a person. The only way a man can believe this is by obeying God, while recognising that he does not motivate God by his obedience. There is grace...

Though we all are confronted with the evil of “selfishness” and “love for the world”, our battles are different. The differences are as a result of the different evil tendencies we inherit from our lineage. These evil tendencies come with associated evil spirits which cause repeated cycles of anomalous occurrences in our lives. These occurrences usually pose as harmless, even sometimes as an advan...

Spiritual things always approximate themselves in the material realm, even in the physical body. The kind of life people appropriates for themselves in the soul bears influence on the body with time. These traits or tendencies are passed on to the next generation. Everyone is therefore born with acquired evil tendencies based on their genealogy. These evil tendencies are backed by strong demonic f...

Many faithless men profess that they have faith. Faith is not mental assent. Neither is it a metaphorical concept or abstract belief which requires constant repetition in order to make the belief a reality. Evils trap a man and limit him to the material realm. One cannot look up to heaven to perceive anything beyond the material realm when his head is buried in evil. Faith is the Realm of consciou...

The Lord promises to reveal Himself to those who keep His commandments. This is because the keeping of the commandments allows for the barrier to be removed - so that we can contact the Spirit of truth. The perception of the Lord we contact in the spirit ought to descend to the lowest part of our being, i.e., our most external parts. The Lord does this by employing our imagination. How do we prese...

For us to make contact with spiritual truth, our inheritance, we need to break the spiritual barriers by shunning the evils of our hearts. This spiritual awareness of truth we perceive in the most holy place is expressed through our spiritual body. Yet, our spiritual body is masked by our earthly body as long as we are on this earth. Therefore, we are not easily aware of the activity of our spirit...

We have not been called to acquire natural knowledge of the truth, but a spiritual revelation of the truth (an encounter with the Lord in the holy of holies). It is this spiritual knowledge that rules us and delivers us from the attacks of the enemy. This is what the spiritual barriers keep us from participating in. To break through the barriers to lay hold of the riches of His glory, God institut...

The truth that rules a person is not the truth in the memory but the one in his/her internals(spirit). The truth in the internals is what agrees with the affections of the heart of a person. Therefore, for a person to contact the Divine truth, which grants man’s access to the untold riches in God, his/her heart must agree with it. We may have read or heard several times of the great promises and a...

The process of becoming spiritual begins with our obedience to the natural truths we receive from doctrine. This stage is characterised by struggles because, our hearts are not yet converted, i.e., the desires of our hearts are contrary to that of the Word. This is what is represented in the scriptures as life under the fig tree. At this stage, the one who must deny himself by obeying the natural...

The speech of a man consists of two components: the words and the sound. While the word is the information given, the sound carries the vibes or condition of heart from which the words are spoken. Though we are easily drawn to focus on getting the right wording, it is the sound that carries the impact. We must therefore focus on obtaining the right sound if the Lord would be made manifest in us. H...

God has dealt with every man a measure of faith so that we can be of use to the Kingdom of God. Thus, God separates everyone from their mother’s womb unto a particular use. Why is this not apparent to everyone? Why are some under the impression that they have nothing to offer? Why is it difficult for many to identify their unique vessel? The answer is in CONSECRATION! Without consecration, the bea...

One indicator that shows that we are truly being transformed is our love for the brethren (those on the same spiritual journey with us). Our love for the brethren stems from our appreciation of the agenda of God and our delight in His will being accomplished in the brethren. The uniting principle is in the common vision we share: the advancement of the Kingdom. As such, we need to overlook the sho...

There is a spiritual siege against the heavenly agenda for the human race. Our engagement in the day-to-day activities which is meant to bring us in alignment with God ends up separating us further away from God. This is because our carnal desires/ambitions have been projected as the ultimate will. We begin to believe God endorses them, until we finally get to the point where there is no drive to...

The time of battle is not the time to gather your armoury. You must therefore prepare for the evil day while it is day. The preparation involves striving lawfully, based on the external truths, so that we can enter spiritual truths. The first stage of preparation involves learning to fill up the gaps in your understanding. Secondly, you must make decisions as to your course of action prior to the...

Those who labour with the external truth to overcome the evils of their hearts make contact with spiritual truth internally. This contact is what constitutes a person's faith. The spiritual knowledge comes to rest in what is called the vessel of the person. It resides in the vessel so that it can be expressed. This awareness is an appreciation of what the individual can supply for the common g...

What is the proof that Jesus resurrected and is alive? What is the proof that God exists? What is the proof that God loves us? What is the proof that the Bible is true and inspired by God?... These and many fundamental questions confront the honest seeker of truth. The answer to these questions differentiates the one who believes in God from the one who does not. Whilst many confine themselves to...

We first learn truths from doctrine via our natural senses. These truths we gather through the senses come to meet deep-seated falsehoods from which we lived before meeting the truth. Thus, the external knowledge resides only in our external memory. As such, we are not deeply affected by such knowledge. That is why we doubt the many truths we’ve read or heard from scripture in the face of challeng...

The Word of God sets before us hope of what we could become. However, the instructions of God meet us at different levels in our spiritual development. As such, many of the spiritual steps we take may not yield the anticipated results. For example, as we strive to suffer righteously, we may not immediately get a breakthrough. This is because, it takes several tortuous steps to attain spiritual mas...

The evil affections (lusts of the flesh) that stand in the way of the Lord’s abode in us are the things we need to suffer the loss of. In the scriptures they are symbolised by the little foxes that destroy the vine. Their secret nature makes us downplay the harm they cause. Thus, we don’t easily see the urgency in giving them up. Furthermore, they exaggerate the pain of suffering their loss (which...

What sets one person apart from another in a particular field of operation? Why do the operations of one person carry more impact than another? The difference is the AUTHORITY from which a person acts - what qualifies a person to operate in a particular field. In the same vein, for us to operate as messengers of God, we need spiritual authority. This spiritual authority, being our righteousness is...

Just as Jesus, when He took the human form was made perfect as the captain of our salvation (endued with all power and authority) through suffering, so are we humans able to access divine power only through suffering. The suffering is in giving up the human will power, weaknesses and vainglory that the divine will and glory may be freely expressed in us. Thus, the process of suffering turns us int...
