The Ways Of God

God's righteousness is born out of His love nature because He is Love (1 Jn 4:8). It is God's eternal correctness in consistence with His Love nature. It is God being who He is and God's word being what God says it is because of His divine integrity. It is the fundamental force of the judgment of God (what He stands upon to pass judgment). The judgment of God is His decree over a person or circumstance based on His righteousness.

These statements are the raw material for this teaching I am bringing you by God's Spirit. WORDCOMPANY is back and you will be reading a lot of powerful messages designed to guarantee your relevance in this end time scheme of things. God is on the move and only men who can comprehend His ways can be relevant as Moses was relevant. The opening paragraph presents the very foundation of the ways of God as He revealed it to His servants of Old in His Word. Let me say this at this point: God does not and will never want to be a mystery to you. If you draw near to Him, He will draw near to you. I greet you in Jesus name. Welcome to a new journey with Wordcompany.

God is Love and His nature motivates His actions (Jn 3:16; 1 Jn 4:8; Rom 5:6-8). In our dispensation, the righteousness of God is the revelation of Jesus Christ and it is by FAITH to all who believe in His redemptive work and in Him to the end that they are justified by FAITH to receive that same righteousness (Rom 3:21-26; 5:17; 1Cor 5:21). This righteousness is revealed to us by the gospel (Rom 1:16-17) and it is what the Psalmist referred to as the Ways of God revealed unto Moses (Ps 103:7).

In the Old covenant, the righteousness of God was revealed in the Law to the end that all men might be guilty before God. The Law brought about the CONSCIOUSNESS of sin thus waking us up to the need for a Messiah (Rom 3:19-20). To Adam and Eve, the righteousness of God was revealed in the slaying of an animal (whose blood was atonement) whose skin was used to cover their nakedness- an Image of what God has done for the believer with the Blood of Jesus. To Noah and His generation, the Ark was a revelation of God's righteousness.  He will not judge the righteous (Gen 6; 1 Pet 3:20-21; 2 Pet 2:9).

This is an introduction. In the sequel we will begin to answer the following questions:
1. Why does God do what He does?
2. Has God anything in place to align man's motif with His nature?
3.  When we do what we do for God or I  His name, why should we do it?
4. Is it just the things we do God will Judge or the motif behind what we do?

Watch out. Remember, the Truth , our guide. Shalom Yedidim.

The Owner of the Office knows best.

Earlier this evening I decided to cook for the family. I wanted to prepare a local delicacy popular with the Enugu people of Eastern Nigeria. It is called Okpa. It is a pudding made from the flour of bambara nuts with palm oil, pepper and a little salt. You can add pepper to taste. My son is particularly fond of it. Well, my wife is the manager of the kitchen and the store. She went to church for clean up, leaving me and my boy at home. I decided to give her a helping hand. It was she who organized the store and it was she who really knew where what was kept. I invaded her office with good intentions. But you know how that saying goes that good intentions are not enough. I had never prepared Okpa myself but I have watched her do it several times. I can learn by observation so I knew what to do. I entered into the store and got the flour I used, combining it with the other ingredients and seasoning it to taste. It was going to be delicious and I felt proud of myself. I put it on the

Tests of purpose and vision- The sequel

Last time on this series, we examined four of twelve tests of purpose and vision- The test of apetite, pride, sex and money. Let's continue from where we stopped. As an addendum to the test of money, let me quickly say that most christians find it rather challanging to be faithful when it comes to money. Money is the only thing Jesus put in the god class when he said "you can not serve God and mammon". The problem believers have is the love of money which, as scriptures put it, is the root of all evil. We have seen (and we will always see) men do all sort of things for the sake of money. Believers have to be espeially areful in this area because what you do for immediate gain and satisfaction could cost you your destiny. Now to the next test- The test of Parenthood. Honour your parents (Eph 6:1-3). How you treat your parents affects your destiny either positively or negatively. The consequence of dishonouring your parents is not just a curse but the result of breaking

The Shift

Happy new year to all my esteemed readers around the world. We have, together, seen the end of the first decade of the 21st century and i have been doing alot of thinking and personal evaluation. I have come to the conclusion that there is a place where we are, or were, and there is a place where we ought to be, or are tending towards. One of the most significant things that will happen in the year 2011 is the shift. This shift will happen on a personal and global scale and the shaking will bring about mixed consequences. This shift i am talking about will be characterised by "seasons." Your control of your seasons will determine where you will end your shift process. There are certain things you must know about your season: every season has it's benefits no matter how gloomy every season has an opportunity for growth in all four dimensions of human consciousness viz: Imagination,conscience,will power and self awareness. You need the right tool to master your seaso
