A case for Heavenly Mindedness.

It is often said "do not be so heavenly conscious that you become earthly useless" but I say unto you, the man who is conscious of eternity as he ought cannot and will not be earthly useless. His heart will be set on pleasing God and that means obeying God's every instruction on his life. There is no man who has so lives that turns out useless to his world and generation. Jesus didn't turn out that way nor did the apostles and every other saint whose names we mention and whose works we reference. Their contributions derived from inspiration that flowed from their following God faithfully is the light we now shine for the next generation.

This systematic secularization of the church is what is standing between men and their eternal destines on the earth. We complain we do not have devoted men serving God but we preach that men should balance spirituality and secularism. It is not so in God’s word. You cannot serve two masters. You are either following God or you are following the world. You are either being conformed to the world or you are being transformed by the word. You are either living by the world's philosophy or the philosophy of the gospel. You cannot put new wine in an old wine sac nor can you use piece from a new cloth to patch an old one.

We preach that friendship with the world is enmity with God and we confine it to so called worldly actions but we do not say or do anything about worldly thinking. Recently, I have been hunting the writings of church fathers and the saints of old, looking for the old paths because I have found that most of the literature on Christian doctrine today are more secular than spiritual. Hollywood is taking bible stories and secularizing them. We are celebrating but God is being systematically edged out from our lives. America is falling apart as legislations are being passed to remove God from education, social life and even their constitution.

Do not tell me not to be so heavenly conscious that I will become earthly useless. What has your world and it's ways done for me? My life in fellowship with the world and it's ways has only left for me a store of things I am not proud of. Thank God for the Blood. They are washed off with the past but get my message clearly. Search your life and see all you have put your self through for money, even in God’s name. Search and see how you have not fared better than Esau because you want fame and the glory of men. Are you seeing how many doors you kicked open on your own to get to where you are while announcing that God is blessing you? I am talking to believers all over the world. Search your thoughts, how different are they from those of the unsaved. You merely punctuate them with God but they are as rotten as the rotteness of the world, full of despair, despondency and fear. Even when you say "it is well" is it in faith? Is it not to make an already concluded hopeless case tolerable to the ears? We don't encourage each other, we hold pity parties. These are the ways of the world. They have become the ways of the church.

Jesus said we are in the world but we are not of the world. This means we do not originate from the world. We are born of the Spirit and SHOULD THEREFORE MIND THE THINGS OF THE SPIRIT. He said we are the light of the world. We don't want to shine as spiritual men because we want to be socially and politically correct but we forget that God will fold this cosmos up and like an old garment cast it off to be burned.

Brethren, be not deceived by the high sounding principles of so called polished preachers and motivational speakers. You relevance is in your spirituality. God will only use radical Christians in this age and only these will make the hall of fame in heaven. Also in heaven we will not all be the same. Some of us will be crowned and some of us will be plain. Yes I mean what you are thinking, there will be class and strata in heaven. All those "confessions" from your grace teachers will not cut it, only those who are FERVENT IS SPIRIT SERVING THE LORD, who are not merely talkers but walkers. Only these will find true relevance. 2015 is a critical year in God’s calender for the church. Those who are balancing the world and the Christian life will not ride the wave of revival of this age.

Beloved, be heavenly conscious even if it hair leaps every devil in hell. Better to suffer the rejection of the world than to be judged unfaithful by the master. He/she who has an ear to hear will hear these words and take heed. I love you as God loves you.

Secrets of Divine actions.

This is a sequel to the last post on The Ways of God. I laid some foundations that are necessary to thoroughly understanding this teaching. You can read up THE WAYS OF GOD to catch on. God the Father is the most important revelation the new testament believer must catch. This revelation is the very core of the ministry of Jesus, while he was on earth and today in the lives of believers. The gospel has one objective which is to reveal to us the person and character of the Father. A man may be introduced to a child as being his father but it takes more than an introduction to have a family relationship. The child will only begin to relate well with this person the more the child comes to know this person. My emphasis being on the Word PERSON. I posed some questions in the concluding part of my last post. We will use them as a line to guide us to our destination. God bless you as you undertake this journey of the Word with me. I celebrate you. What drives God's divine actions is wh...

Orbis Unum

We witness a display of man's tendency for a unified system in the Babel episode as recorded in the book of genesis. Here we see man uniting and making himself mighty in a "one world" government. I want to answer two questions that arise from that episode: Was man's crave for a one world government (and that crave is still unsatisfied) an accident? Also, was God's refusal justified? "Orbis Unum" is the latin for "one world" and this has been the direction that world politics has been heading. From the time of Nimrod, to the Pharohes of Egypt, to Nebuchadnezzar, to Dairus, to Alexander the great, to Julius Ceasar, the list is endless. The primary motive that drove the manifestation of their dominion was Orbis Unum. Believe it or not, the Roman Catholic Church joined the party and Islam is about Orbis Unum.Why then is this drive towards a one world system? Understanding this will give insight into the direction that world politics is heading to...

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 ...
