Anointed with the ‘Anointer’!

There is so much about ourselves we don’t know! Recently, I taught about the ‘Three Dimensions of the Anointing’. It’s a must-get message! One of the things I shared was on the ‘Inherency of the anointing’! Acts 1:8, ‘But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.’ The Word, ‘Power’ derives from the Greek, ‘Dunamis’! Dunamis is not just the ability to effect changes, it’s ‘the INHERENT ability to cause changes’. There is a reason why ‘Dunamis’ is used. In the Greek, Dunamis is not the only word used to denote ability. There is also ‘Ischus’, which connotes ‘force, might, ability’. Why was Dunamis used? This because the Holy Spirit was going to LIVE and OPERATE in us! It’s one thing to be anointed with power, but it’s a completely different thing when you are anointed with the ‘anointer’. Now, power has become inherent in us; this means we’ve got ALL of the anointing in us requiring no external aid. We don’t need MORE of the anointing! The One that anoints dwells in us! That’s why we can participate in the distributions of the Holy Ghost; we’ve become his operational headquarters! All you need to see that change happen in your life is in your spirit! Activate this inherent power as you speak in tongues daily!

A life of abilities!

The New Creation life is a life of abilities! This is Zoe; God's life that we possess today! It's a Grace rendezvous! Grace has supplied us with a quality of life consistent with the Zoe granted us! 2 Corinthians 9:8, ' Moreover God is able to cause, every gracious gift, to superabound unto you, in order that, having in every thing, at every time, every kind of sufficiency of your own, ye may be superabounding unto every good work;(EBR)' The Word, 'Sufficiency' is from a Greek Word, 'autarkeia'. It's the Word from which the economic system, 'Autarchy' is gotten from. It means, ' a perfect condition of life in which no aid or support is needed'. Then, we fulfill the next, 'superabound unto every good work'. Such is life for the New Creation! That we may become helpers, succourers of many, has this Grace being granted us! A life having no intrusion by external circumstances! This was what functioned for the Israelites as the journeyed from Egypt into the promised land; they carried their own atmosphere! The Holy Ghost was that atmosphere! He was cloud by day, fire by night! That same Spirit lives in us facilitating this Autarchy! Jesus said, 'I will not live you helpless'... The Helper who he promised, came! We are helped! Rejoice in this reality! #NewCreation #Pleroma

All of one!

Hebrews 2:11, ' For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,' . This is remarkable! Have you ever thought of yourself this way? The above scripture communicates two luxuriant thoughts, namely; we have been sanctified and we are 'all of one'! This is my state as a New Creation! What does it mean to be 'All of one'? It refers to a common origin; having a common progenitor. We are as much sons of God as Jesus is. His preeminence is in the fact that he is first born(Colossians 1:18), we are no less sons of God than he is! We have the same genes! We have been called into the super-transcendent life of God! Jesus came as an example of the potentialities of that life. We are all of one! This is the reason we live pure, because we want to live up to who we ARE, sanctified Children of God! This is what love has made us- 1 John 3:1! So, as per nature, you are equal to Jesus! Never say, 'Well, I am not Jesus, I am a mere nobody'. No! You and Jesus are all of one! Any step you want to take, ask, 'What will my big brother do?' And do it! That same ability is in you! You can surmount temptations as he did! What a discovery to know, we are all of one! Thank God for this, today and always! #NewCreation #Pleroma

The Fellowship in the Gospel.

Philippians 1:5, 'For your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now;' In Christ, we are in a fellowship, a communion, a sharing together, a drinking together with God, and his children, our beloved brethren. It's a Fraternity of Divinities! It's a glorious calling into the life and lifestyle of papa God! In this fellowship, we are aware of our heavenly calling and our expected attitudes as we make our pilgrimage in this world. It's a beautiful thing; to know you are in Fellowship with God! It's utterly beyond the grid of mental comprehension! Fellowship is between beings of the same kind; equals! That's what God thinks of me as he remains pre-eminent over all! How do I function in this fellowship? Philemon 1:6, ' in such sort that thy participation in the faith should become operative in the acknowledgment of every good thing which is in us towards Christ Jesus' (Darby). This is most inspiring! Our Participation (Fellowship), in the faith becomes operative in our acknowledgment (Greek; Epignosis) of every good thing in us! That knowledge by revelation of the good things God has wrought in and for us in Christ  brings our faith, our fellowship in the Gospel, to active operation! Delve into God's Word like never before with the Help of the Spirit and see yourself becoming a more effective member of the body of Christ fulfilling the vision of our glorious head! #NewCreation #Pleroma

Understanding the Sin-principle.

It’s pertinent to understand what sin is and what Jesus did concerning it, if we would function in the victory that Jesus wrought for us. To understand this, we have to be acquainted with the Sin-Principle. Many people are acquainted with sin as an act, but the reality is , Sin is first a principle before an act. Romans 8:2, ‘For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death’. The Law of Sin and death; the Principle of sin, and its resultant consequences.
The Sin-principle is the domineering work of sin in man’s life as a result of being a progeny of Adam- Romans 5:18. The Law of Moses was the operational medium upon which exercised its destructive works in man’s life- Romans 7:4. By being born into this world, Man partook of sin and was sold to sin, helplessly- Romans 7:14. Therefore, no matter the good a man born of Adam did, he was still a sinner, because he was born of Adam. The law didn’t help, for by the law is the knowledge of sin- Romans 3:20. It’s that principle Paul talked about when he exclaimed, ‘The things I don’t want to do, I find myself doing…It’s sin that worketh in my members’- Romans 7:14-21. No matter how man tried, he could help himself! What a pitiable condition!

Enter the Law of the Spirit!

Romans 8:2-3, ‘For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:’ The One who is in Christ, has been made free from the treacherous operation of sin! Jesus DEFEATED sin, rendered it helpless, broke its power; the law- 1 Corinthians 15:56, Romans 10:4! At this point, I’d like us to know that the Law of the Spirit is the Dispensation of Grace. Romans 6:14, ‘For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.’ The Dispensation of Grace, the
Operation of Grace has freed us from the dominion of sin. Our Chief part in this lovely phenomenon is to ‘Reckon’ ourselves ‘dead to sin’. When you do this, you come before the
mirror of God and observe these as your realities; you become in experience what God as accomplished in your Spirit! We are
righteous! We are Holy and unblamable! Believe it and act that way! #NewCreation #Pleroma

Holy Insanity!

There is such a thing as holy insanity! Oh, that God's people be open to God's Spirit and move in the flow of the Spirit. If you are a child before God, he will magnify you before men! 2 Corinthians 5:13, 'For whether we be beside ourselves, it is to God: or whether we be sober, it is for your cause.' The phrase, 'besides ourselves', literally means in the Greek, 'To be insane, to have taken leave of one's senses'. This was what they thought about the first church when the Holy Ghost fell on them. You see, many people think the Holy Ghost should fit the grid of their minds; He won't! He is God! Many despise these works of the Spirit such as tongues, laughter, falling under the power etc, because they don't make sense! Yet, our appreciation of these things increases our flow in the things of the Spirit! Something funny always happens when the Holy Spirit came upon people; they ran, leaped and danced! Many haven't learned to rejoice in the Spirit. Luke 10:21, ' In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said'. The Word, 'rejoice' is the Greek, 'aggalliao' which means to, 'leap up rejoicing'. These are some of the things we do that open our minds to the ministry of the Spirit! If you aren't free before God, he can't use you. These are the things we do mostly in our privacy. This isn't an encouragement for flesh-motivated imitations of the works of the Spirit! But an encouragement to rendezvous in God's joy and function more effectively in the things of the Spirit! #NewCreation #Pleroma

Look, keep looking and don't stop looking!

There is an operational principle of the New Creation; it's how the New Creation functions! It's this: Look, keep looking and don't stop looking! We are told that the New Creation is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him-Colossians 3:10. The Word, 'Renewed', is the Greek Word, 'Anakainizo', it means to, 'activate, invigorate, to strengthen'. The Revelation-Knowledge of God is what activates the New man! But, how does this knowledge work? 2 Corinthians 3:18, ' But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.' The Glory of God is who we are! Jesus is the revelation of that Glory- 2 Corinthians 4:6! Yet, we look into him as one who looks into a mirror; what a description of who we are! But, here we get to learn how we live the New life we have been granted! James 1:23-25, ' For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein,he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.' We look into our 'Natural face' of righteousness, victory, prosperity etc! As we look, recognizing this is who we are and we keep looking, we are blessed in our deed! How are we doers of the Word? By acting consistently with our revealed nature! We don't lie, not because we want to be righteous, we speak the truth because we are created in righteousness and holiness of truth -Ephesians 4:24! As we  look, we  become in experience what we are in our Spirits! Just like the serpent was lifted up in Moses' day, and the afflicted were required to look, if only the believer will look and keep looking he would be totally transformed outwardly! Look, keep looking and don't stop looking! #NewCreation #Pleroma

God's Idea of a Christian!

We have celebrated the Antioch idea of who a believer is and it's high time to find out God's idea of the Christian. Firstly, I want to correct the age long impression the citizens of Antioch called us Christians because we were 'Christ-like'. That simply cannot be true as Jesus never lived in Antioch and there was no way for them (Antiochians) to know how he lived. The reason why they called us Christians is because the Apostles preached Christ, so they called them Christians, meaning 'adherents or followers of Christ'. But, we are more than followers or adherents of Christ! God's Idea of Christianity is 'CHRIST IN YOU, THE HOPE OF GLORY'. As far is God is concerned, Christianity is a celebration of the vital presence of God in a man, living and operating through that man! Christianity, as far as God's concerned, is the oneness of man and God, resulting in a NEW CREATION possessing all of God's Character! Now, we are as Righteous as God, Holy as God and as powerful as God-1 John 4:17! This is, in a nutshell is God's Idea of a Christian. I hope to put the rest in a book! #NewCreation #Pleroma
