INIMITABLE IMMUNITY

2011-12-13T04:06:00.000-08:00

THE INIMITABLE IMMUNITY:

“All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world” Revelation 13:8.

Inimitable is something that cannot be copied, it is so good that no alternative can compare with it. The fact remains that diabolical divinations and enchantments are potent, and this is evident on whoever such is cast upon, sometimes children of God are victims. The question is why such should be effective against a child of God who has confessed Jesus as his Savoiur. Moreover, people who have once been known to be ardent followers of God turn to these other mediums as alternatives in order to have immediate solutions to their problems when it seems God whom they’ve been following is delaying or has failed them; 1Samuel 28:7-19.

The truth of the matter is that the whole cosmic realm is held together by God’s Spirit since that is the creative power which was activated by His creative Word; Genesis 1:1-3, and filled with the radiating power of the fullness of His presence; Jeremiah 23:23-24. Nothing happens without His knowledge; but this does not mean that He is present in everything (Pantheism). God is holy; He can never be associated with evil.

Satan and those who devise evil don’t have any powers of their own, because no other power can exist beside that of God. One sure thing is that even diabolical divinations and enchantments tap into God’s ever-present power and use it to give effect to their own evil plans. It is because of this power that their evil schemes are effective; but this lasts only for a short time, because whatever is not borne out of love which God represents and not done according to His will, will be cut short.

The duration of their potency is as per the limitation of man’s power of freewill. These divinations have to be renewed every time for such to be effective; but when such power meets a true child of God it becomes ineffective. It doesn’t matter how much they try, they still won’t be able to overpower a true child of God because he is born of that ever-present potent power, taps into it and uses it in love and according to the will of God. This thus makes him immune against attacks from the evil one. “We know that whoever is born of God does not sin; but he who has been born of God keeps himself, and the wicked one does not touch him; 1John 5:18. This kind of power cannot be duplicated, you either have it or you don’t have it; it is inimitable; “And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are you? Acts 19:15. In the kingdom of Satan they recognize the true power of God and those who possess it.

Same thing goes for the blood of Jesus. No other blood, not that of animals or even that of man, can be a substitute for the blood of Jesus. From the scripture in Revelation 13:8 it can be seen that Christ had been slain spiritually from the foundation of the world. What this means is that the world is founded on Christ for His blood had been spilled by God.

The blood of goats and bulls in the Old Testament is a physical representation of what will take place in time, so when this blood touches the ground physically it connects with the original in the spiritual, thus there is a speaking and a force of power is created that answers. When Christ was slain, the physical of the original came into contact with its spiritual counterpart to form what I call the Inimitable Immunity. “To Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel” Hebrews 12:24.

Today, it doesn't matter which kind of sacrifice is done with animals or man's blood, no matter the ceremony or its complexity, it cannot overshadow that of Christ. This sacrifice may be potent because it's done with blood, but it is only for a short time; it loses its potency when the blood of Jesus Christ is applied. When a child of God rests permanently on the blood of Jesus, nothing that is done against him will hold. The blood of Jesus physically and spiritually is the seal of permanent deliverance and immunity.

This inimitable immunity is an invisible force-field of protection around you; it is made stronger by the level of love you display towards God and your neighbor, and your willingness to fulfill the will of God for your life. Service in love and through love makes you to serve selflessly. This force-field is made stronger through prayer, fasting, works of faith and labour of love. The more these are rendered, the thicker the protective shield gets and the more invincible you become. God will be your protector, and you are even used by God to be a deliverer. Not minding the kind of curse(s) that may be running in your family, community, or workplace, you are shielded. You become a terror to the Satanic kingdom and the arrowhead to be used by God to nullify the powers of Satanic curses and demonic oppressions. You can operate anywhere without fear.

In a lot of cases the manner of your deliverance happens to be the manner of your empowerment. Whichever way you may have been delivered, you have been admonished to seek knowledge for this will make you well grounded in your walk with Jesus. The manner of your deliverance is not the only way there is and it is not the only source of empowerment. Knowledge opens you up to a fuller understanding of God’s ways and power and you become well established in the Word enough to operate in power and understanding. Knowledge is Power, power for deliverance, empowerment, possession and enduring possession. This cannot be denied or downplayed, it is indispensable. “The hypocrite with his mouth destroys his neighbor, but through knowledge the righteous will be delivered”; Proverbs 11:9.

BEING INDISPENSABLE

2011-10-18T12:55:00.000-07:00

Excerpt from Power, Purpose and Service.

“ I will praise You for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvelous are Your works; and that my soul knows well” Psalm 139:14.

For every office God calls a man into He has substitutes to replace him if he fails to perform and remain obedient to the injunctions of the calling. May be this is the reason so many people say that nobody is indispensable that a man and his service can be dispensed with at anytime. We also always say it's only God who we cannot find a replacement for, but for man there are several, you only need to look deeper and wider. But I've found out that somehow there’s an exception to the rule; though it may be rare, but there is.

People talk a lot that it is nations and institutions that are indispensable, not so much the individual. But is it not individuals that build nations and institutions and also build other individuals that continue the work of building and maintenance? These ones build through extraordinary and supernatural display of craftsmanship, skill and dexterity, and through the formation of ideologies that shape the lives of men.

In the kingdom where God reigns and calls people to work for Him, God can replace any man by His sovereign power, but He won't if the man works in His perfect will, remains humble, loves Him with all His heart, soul, and body, and is very effective in his service field. Yes, God can do without you, but if you won't do without Him, He won't do without you.

There are two kinds of indispensability; Absolute indispensability and Relative indispensability. Absolute indispensability belongs only to God, no being or any created thing on earth or in the sea, or wherever can do without God. God needs nobody to survive; He’s ‘Omni’, All. Yet in His plans God finds man useful in bringing into reality His plans on earth; thus man is indispensable to God. That’s why He searches for who to use, because He would seldom do anything on earth without using man; Amos 3:7.

By man, I mean Mankind. Mankind is indispensable to God, but you as an individual may not be indispensable. God is Omni, omnipotent, wholly sovereign; while man is ‘Mini’, mini-potent, partially sovereign; for the scope of man’s operations come from God; Genesis 1:26, 2:15-17. Your indispensability to God and your publics rests entirely on you. Relative indispensability is your being relevant and significant to the people in that particular area of service you have been gifted by the omnipotent God. Your mini-potent power can still be felt throughout the world; you can be classified as second to none.

Your being indispensable does not mean there are no alternatives; it means knowing there are, yet you're still preferred above the rest. People would rather wait for you than call another man to do the job. Responsibility, integrity, quality and value added service makes a man indispensable. If this be so it makes you to be in demand at all times. This is not just talking about service in general, but what you bring to bear on service. Now, this is where foresight and confidence in self worth comes in; quality craftsmanship, constantly adapting to meet the current needs of a changing culture.

There's nobody like you, you are unique, nobody else can do that which you are doing, the same way you are doing it, even if you are involved in the same kind of service. It doesn't matter what you write, and how you write, you can't write like me. Every servant of God must be sure of himself and his calling whereby he can devote his attention and time and be diligent in his field. “Do you see a man who excels in his work? He will stand before kings; he will not stand before unknown men.” Proverbs 22:29. This kind of man also stands before God, he is irreplaceable and his service indispensable.

PERFECT SERVICE

2011-10-12T04:18:00.000-07:00

In ministry, it’s not about being called as a full time or a part time minister, it’s all about making your calling and election sure; 2Peter 1:10; and then rendering an acceptable service in the perfect will of God; Romans 12:1-2. God does not have a greater reward for the full time minister than that for the part time minister; His just reward is measured out according to the fulfilling of His perfect will. There are different callings, different assignments, different destinies, but one goal; making disciples, making heaven and having just rewards on the last day.

The Holy Spirit is one, and is the same in every man who has received the baptism and the filling of the Holy Spirit; His breath in you is for your own assignment, not for any other assignment. How you were baptized isn’t what matters, but how and to what extent you put the power to use. Your conviction of His power in you, your exercise of that power, your purpose in life and grace differentiates the level of your performance, and your destiny from the other anointed man.

Let him who is like Samuel not despise him who is like Paul and think he deserves something greater from God than that given to the Pauls and then make a force of it: nor should the Pauls gloat over their exploits and think the Samuels deserve what they get for lack of venture. The Samuels should be grateful for the power that kept them whole, and the Pauls should be grateful for the power that redeemed them. Without that power the Samuels can overstep to the other side and get ruined for life and the Pauls may stay whole and not make any meaning out of their lives, which make purpose undiscovered and therefore unachievable. Every man may be born the same way but our different assignments in life determine the course of our lives and the path to achieving our destinies.

Go on, do what you are called to do because the world is earnestly waiting for the manifestation of the sons of God; one of whom you are; Romans 8:19.

BEING ALONE GEN 2:18

2011-10-04T06:44:00.000-07:00

It has always being said that it is not good for one to be alone. But it should be pointed out that there are times you may not help being alone. This may be just for short moments as some time of being alone had been known to last for months, or years depending on the severity of the situation. Being alone has two variables; being alone by choice, and being alone by circumstances. There’s a bit of difference between the two.

Being alone by choice is more of a personal decision, that of a will of the mind to just be at home with yourself without making contact with anybody for a particular length of time. Such may be a time for studying, praying, sleeping, and the like. Being alone by circumstances on the other hand is more of a position you are pushed into which you don’t want, but has to accept because there’s nothing you can do about it. When the society rejects you, which may be due to an ailment, lack of productivity, or even out of envy, no matter how you try to push yourself back into the society, if the class that you are trying to belong to rejects you, you may have no choice than to stay alone. This is loneliness.

But the truth of the matter is almost everybody who matters in the society started from the second variable, being alone by circumstances. Few, very few started from the first variable, being alone by choice. It is those who got a grip on themselves that moved from the second to the first, and then they begin to matter. The second variable is a trial, while the first is a personal test of endurance and perseverance.

Being alone is not a crime, because circumstances may necessitate it, but it is what you do when you are alone, that determines if you have committed a crime or not. What do you do when you are alone? Do you mop around, looking downcast all the time? This kind of self rejection happens initially to every person; but it is the duration and the attitude of the person during such moments that matters.

Being alone is a blessing. It can also be a plan from God for your own good because it is a time for personal self development. This takes knowledge and understanding to get into, and being alone with your spirit brings productivity. Almost all successful men in the world today have been alone at one time or the other working in the dark, until their time of introduction. Adam did the most constructive work of his life when he was alone, and the work he did at that time still endures till today; Gen 2:19-20. Scientists with great inventions credited to them, writers, and other notable people worked alone before they became known.

The soul long so much for association that if you are not careful your progress may be stalled, because it is what the people give to you that you will do just to maintain friendship and relevance. It can be a mediocre kind of life that will bring stress and restlessness just because you want to belong. But the spirit gives you something tangible to give to the society, which is most needful to them, and they will have no choice than to flock to you. What you give makes you relevant and the people will want to bask in your relevance. You dictate the terms you call the shots, your spirit guides the soul, then you maintain relationship.

Being alone is a condition for leadership. And knowing how to be alone is a qualification for continuous leadership. It leads to being in control of situations and circumstances. But many a leader after having captured the society get lost in the glare and they soon forget what and who gave them power and how they got to where they are. Soon the soul through the society starts calling the shots, then the spirit is downplayed, they begin to crave endlessly for association and recognition, then they forget how to be alone in the spirit; they then fall or they fade out of recognition. Jesus Christ never forgot how to be alone at times despite the glitterati of His time; Luke 6:12.

GIFT OR REWARD?

2011-09-29T05:22:00.000-07:00

These two words mean the same thing but a thin line separates them and qualifies each one for what it really is. Gift is a noun, Reward is a verb; circumstances makes what is given either a reward or a gift or both.

A gift may be defined as something given to someone on a special occasion which may not necessarily be given because of a deed done. Gift bestowed is not determined by you but by the magnanimity and the prosperous leverage of the giver; and this comes in different levels. Now because of this sometimes a gift may seem undeserving; but the clincher here is that though the gift may seem undeserving to you, the recipient; but to the giver it may be deserving; or such may be found needful for you to have to enable you do something. Grace (charisma); and the innate latent gifts you were born with falls under this category.

Reward is defined as something given in appreciation for a deed done. Reward is earned, it is something deserving for faithful service or obedience. This means there is a doing, a conscious effort exerted at something. This may sometimes be given not because you have done something but because someone whom you’re connected to had done something in the past which the giver may now use a special occasion as an opportunity to pay back. To the giver it is both a gift and a reward, while to the recipient it is a gift.

This explains John 4:38; “I sent you to reap that for which you have not laboured, others have laboured and you have entered into their rest.” And also explains Isaiah 55:1; “Ho everyone who thirsts come to the waters, and you who have no money, come buy and eat, yes come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.” And also Deuteronomy 6:10-11; “So it shall be when the LORD your God……which you did not build….which you did not fill….which you did not dig….which you did not plant…”

Isn’t this the case of a good man leaving an inheritance for his children’s children? Please know this today, to God no good thing comes free and no good deed goes unrewarded; there’s always a price to pay, a cost to bear. God will never deny anyone his reward; He has not called you to serve Him in vain. What make God’s reward seem undeserving is the miraculous way and the quantum which such comes; then you begin to think in your mind that it is a gift, not a reward.

There is remuneration for service and a time of harvest for seeds planted. The intriguing thing about God‘s reward is its timing, the manner, and the magnitude. It may take its time in coming, but the moment it comes, it’s always mind-boggling. When it comes, receive it with thanksgiving, enjoy it, show-off with it, but don’t get lost in it. “And you shall remember the LORD your God, for it is He who gives you the power to get wealth…” Mind you, His mind-boggling gift is not for frivolities, which is tantamount to waste, it is another bountiful seed for the extension of your service field and for the extension of His kingdom; His investment for the further establishment of the Kingdom.

Thot 4u:

Would God give man a gift or reward he doesn’t deserve?

Is His reward or gift given to man because of who He is and not because of what man has done?

Is man deserving of a gift or reward from God just because he is man made in the image of God?

The Short Message

The realm of the supernatural also operates in the area of service, even in the market place.

Though Elijah felt tired and thought he was the only one left of the loyal prophets, God told him to anoint Elisha to succeed him, not to replace him. Elijah still served God for so many years more before he was translated, and Elisha succeeded him. Elisha served God so well that none was found capable enough to succeed him, and he went to the grave with the anointing of God upon him.

God called David “a man after His heart”; despite his sins. His testimony of Job is ‘there's none like him in the earth.’ A man can also be so sure of himself in God that he knows he is indispensable in that particular area of his calling. “Paul an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Saviour, and the Lord Jesus Christ, which is our hope.” This is an affirmation of his authority; not a boast or pride, but a surety and guaranteed acceptance of his service. Paul opened all his epistles in this manner.

There's nobody like you, you are unique, nobody else can do that which you are doing, the same way you are doing it, even if you are involved in the same kind of service. It doesn't matter what you write, and how you write, you can't write like me. Every servant of God must be sure of himself and his calling whereby he can devote his attention and time and be diligent in his field. “Do you see a man who excels in his work? He will stand before kings; he will not stand before unknown men.” ²² This kind of man also stands before God, he is irreplaceable and his service indispensable.

THE SINLESS MAN:

“For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him” 2Corinthians 5:21.

Any Christian that says he has no sin in his life is a liar and a boastful one who internally will be puffed up with pride. This kind of Christian talks as if it is done by works and no man is justified before God by works of the flesh, but by faith in Christ Jesus. The best a Christian can say when asked about his life in Christ is that he does not stand condemned of sin in his heart before God.

By this study, you are not being given an excuse to sin but you’re being given a deeper understanding of sin to know how indebted you are to Jesus Christ. And also to counsel and empower you to discern in knowing when you are in right standing with God and when you’re not. Not to leave yourself to the dictates and judgment of the people or unnecessary conformity to certain denominational norms and creeds whereby you either wallow in self-pity or self-righteousness. Jesus Christ is your righteousness. By the time the Christian aligns himself to Jesus daily; he can have heaven on earth and be sure of eternal life after death.

When talking of a sinless Christian, one who is not condemned of sin, the Lord reminded me of a scene I witnessed some years ago:

There was a van conveying some pigs that had been cleaned, disinfected, and made fit for human consumption or for a better living environment. But suddenly the van fell into a ditch and the back doors flung open and the cleaned pigs slid into the dirty water.

The pigs were so happy that they joyously played inside the dirty water. It was as if they were celebrating their freedom from the bondage of cleanliness which their owners had subjected them to. They relished their momentary freedom in the dirt which they were accustomed to before their deliverance into cleanliness. It was by force that they were put back into the van.

Then the Lord told me: “If one of the pigs on its own will jumped out of the dirty water and stayed aloof hating the water and feeling unhappy of its present dirty body that pig would have been adjudged clean. Though its body is dirty but its heart is clean.” The dirt (sin) on it was by mistake and not its own doing, but on realization such dirt was displeasing. This simply means that if by choice an opportunity to be dirty is presented to them all, this particular pig will not indulge itself in dirtiness.

“Thus says the Lord of Hosts; consider your ways” Haggai 1:7.

Christianity is to be enjoyed, not endured. What you endure you do half-heartedly and with stiffness, but what you enjoy, you do with freedom of the heart and love. Christianity should bring such affective joy that radiates and touch the people around you which makes them want to associate with you, and partake of what you have. When all things became new and old things passed away that newness must be seen in you, no matter the circumstances. He who has made things new in your life must be made known. Walking with Jesus though hard at times is not misery, but fulfilment unlimited, joy unequalled, happiness unimagined and peace exemplified.

When He is holding your hand, you may trip and stumble but you will not fall because He’s holding firmly to you; Isaiah 43:1-2. The pain of the stumble may be sharp, He has promised you rest. When He said “Take my yoke upon you and learn of me, I am meek and lowly in heart: and you shall find rest for your souls” Matthew 11:29. His yoke and learning process may be hard and tough at times, but He has promised you rest.

I hope to see you when we get there. I won’t search heaven for you and you won’t search heaven for me either in the name of Jesus.

APPREHEND GOD?

Apprehending God:

“...the Lord had sought Him a man after His heart”; 1Samuel 13:14.

You apprehend God when you accept His will for your life. In this way you meet His need. His most important and urgent need is for man to dominate the earth and to reconcile lost souls back to Him; and in achieving this end He uses different methods and partners with individuals differently and respectively. The moment God talks to your heart and you agree to His proposals fully you have apprehended Him; Acts 13:22. He becomes interested in you, you become His responsibility and He gives you a listening ear at anytime. You become a man after God's heart. You command heaven's attention upon your life.

ARE YOU BORN AGAIN?

Men show God gratitude,

When great things they give,

Their financial substance,

The fatlings of their calves,

The bounties of their field,

But lo! He has shown greater gratitude,

He, who first gives back to God his life.

If you’ve not met Christ personally, you’ve not started spiritually.

Answering the altar call isn’t the main issue, seeing the altar in you is.
