The Love Movement Is Around The Corner!



Dearly Beloved,

  • The Church has so far been morphing at an unimpressive pace, though destined for a realm of fellowship called The Love of God, an abode within God wherein we should import and experience the conversations of the World to come, i.e. the soul (not just our human spirit) manifesting Grace/Glory Levels of The New Creature! By such love would life flow through many, conquering the substances of the carnal/worldly life in one another, strengthening us to achieve our corporate goal of Pleasing The Father To The Uttermost like some are currently striving to please the world/Babylon (2Tim. 3:2-4)
  • The Ephesian church in Eph. 1:15C once engaged the elementary/introductory level of this kind of love which still supersedes what is obtainable in the church today! They had a QUANTITATIVELY measure of love defined as Love Unto All Saints (i.e. they could love one another irrespective of their denominational affiliations, doctrinal impediments, cultural/geographical backgrounds). They knew they owed all men nothing but love (Rom. 13:8), but a trumpet is being declared from Zion that is calling for a company of saints to come into an immeasurable/QUALITATIVELY kind of fellowship of love that the likes of the apostles pierced into. Such is the Love of God described in 1Jn. 1:1-3 which extremely few believers in all other generations till date have come into.
  • The journey of an inspired information from the ears to the heart (wherein the second hearing/understanding is born - Rom. 10:17) could take minutes, days, months, years and in many cases, decades, but journeying from the LOVE FROM GOD that was showed towards humanity in Jn. 3:16 unto the actual LOVE OF GOD that was firstly showed on the Son and then His Holy Apostles as described in Jn. 3:35 cannot take place in minutes, days, months, years but in decades! This is a journey that cannot be undertaken if we don’t discern and tarry with some critical spiritual seasons released from heaven
Jn. 3:16 For God so loved the world (i.e. those who loved the world), that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Jn. 3:35 The Father loveth the Son (like he hopes to be able to love Tayo Fasan someday), and hath given all things (i.e. righteous judgments – Jn.5:22) into his hand
  • You may therefore agree with me that what brought us into the body of Christ was the provision of grace captured in ‘FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD (i.e. THEM THAT LOVED THE WORLD)’ but what would separate us from the world unto God is an eternally different dimension of love captured under the provision ‘THE FATHER LOVETH THE SON, HATH SHOWETH HIM ALL THINGS THAT HE DOESTH AND COMMITTED ALL JUDGEMENT UNTO HIM’. Jn. 3:35/5:20-22 
  • A subtle work is currently ongoing in the United Kingdom, one designed in God’s wisdom to cause the unknown effect of the desolation and weakening of souls over many generations to crumble (Isa. 61:3-4).  Such was the commission upon Apostle Paul, summarized in Acts 26:18. SUCH IS A WORK OF ETERNAL VALUE, WHICH CAN’T BE AUTHORED OR FOUNDED BY A MAN OR MINISTRY BUT BY THE GLORIFIED CHRIST!
Acts 26:18 To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.
(Pls note that Apostle Paul’s commission here was to believers not unbelievers)
  • UK Believers convention 2012 titled THE KINGDOM STRENGTH and POWER promises to pay homage to such spiritual meals that would ultimately bring forth what would be branded by many as THE LOVE MOVEMENT - Jn. 14:35
Bless You!

Sons and A Destiny Called Nigeria – Part 3


Beloved,

- Man wants to REST in an earth that has been colonized by a worldly system which was designed not to entertain rest.
- God wants to REST in those who would live according to a different spiritual economy which the heavens want to introduce/import to the earth and thereby colonize it.

God has not found rest (as it was of old), so man also hasn’t also found rest. When God purposes to love a believer in the definition of 1cor. 2:9 kind of love, which is different from Jn. 3:16 order of love, such a believer is in trouble. The severity of God would pursue such until he arrests such a one and prepares him to be a prisoner of the Lord. This is where God manifests his likeness as a man of war (Isa 42:13). So it is with a country/nation God has chosen/called into priesthood, so i believe it is with a country like NIGERIA. THIS IS WHERE I BELIEVE GOD DIFFERS FROM US ABOUT A NATION LIKE NIGERIA. God has borne much more losses than we have seen in Nigeria, so loss is not ‘a big deal’ like we see it to him, like FULL SALVATION IS TO HIM UNLIKE TO US:

1. About six Millions of men (excluding children/women) left Egypt for Canaan, how many made it to Canaan?
2. As dear as the Jews were/are to him, how many of them perished long before and during the Holocaust? What refrained God from stopping it? What did God comfort himself with?
3. How many faithful Christians died during the inquisition through horrible ways? WHAT IS IT ABOUT OR BEYOND NUMBERS THAT GOD RECONS OR DOESN’T SEEM TO RECON WITH?

Man's arguments without these understanding are simply based on sentiment. If God has purposed to do through a Nation like Nigeria, what he sought to do through Israel of old (i.e. raise a model of His People as a ref. point to other nations), then we are preparing to repeat the history of man’s carcasses littering the current 'wilderness' we are in as a nation.

Too many things have been muddled up in what we call CHRISTIANITY today. We have a lot of personal fighting to do to break out of HYPOCRISY. It is difficult for a proud person who hates pride to agree he is proud, so it is with hypocrisy. Somewhere, i am still dealing with it! Laying claim to being a Christian is the toughest things/profession on earth!

I thank God for our efforts to pray for change in Nigeria... We engage in daily prayers for the equivalent of some months at my local church/fellowship, but i am rather consoled by an understanding of 'GOD IS NOT PRIMARILY DEPENDING ON 'OUR PRAYERS' TO DELIVER NIGERIA! IF HE DOES, THEN WE CAN SAY WE ARE IN TROUBLE/NO HOPE IN VIEW. You and I are not who we are or even where we are, by our prayers. 


Should God have responded to the prayers of men like we really want him to, Satan would bring an accusation against God, not just his people. Jam. 4:3 confirms that many prayers is not free from lust, even towards our nation. So THERE IS EITHER SOMETHING WRONG WITH 'US' OR WITH 'OUR PRAYERS'. 

From the kingdom point of view, there is nothing like “I am a Nigerian, British or American” but according to Eph. 2:19, we are now fellow citizens with other saints, and of the household of God), SO WHEN WE PRAY LIKE ‘A NIGERIAN’ for ‘NIGERIA’, GOD MAY NOT HEAR SUCH PRAYER. I CAN’T PROVE IT HERE FOR SAKE OF BEING CONCISE. IN FACT, SUCH DOESN'T EXIST IN THE KINGDOM REALM CALLED TRUTH.

SO, CAN WE AGREE NIGERIA IS A MYSTERY BEYOND OUR INTELLECTUAL/SPIRITUAL FINESSE? THIS WAY, WE WOULD ALLOW THE LORD DISARM US OF SOME 'UNDERSTANDING THAT HASN'T AND WOULD HARDLY TAKE US ANYWHERE' AND THEN GRADUALLY ARM US FOR SPIRITUAL WARFARE.  PERSONALLY, I BELIEVE THE LORD WOULD HAVE US FIRSTLY UNDERSTAND THIS COUNTRY, BEFORE WE THEN EMPLOY SUCH UNDERSTANDING IN PRAYERS.

As in Cain, the SACRIFICE doesn't come before the VESSEL, the cart can’t come before the horse. THERE SEEMS TO BE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE VESSEL LIFTING UP PRAYERS WHICH SEEMS NOT TO BE 'GETTING TO GOD', because HE ANSWERS ANY PRAYERS THAT CAN SUCCESSFULLY JOURNEY TO HIS EARS.
Jn. 14:12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works (kingdom initiated/sustained) than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. 14:13 And (i.e. when you pray with a comprehension of the kingdom) whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

1 Jn. 5:14 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, IF we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:
We need a 'change in Nigeria', but we have only increased passion in doing THE SAME THING THE SAME WAY, PRAYER-WISE/UNDERSTANDING WISE, which most likely is NOT ACCORDING TO HIS WILL, AND MAY BE AFTER OUR UNDERSTANDING OF MAN’S KINGDOM. 

The day a believer finds mercy to be delivered from his orientation/understanding of prayers, heartfelt prayers would begin! I still wonder why i have hardly been involved in 'praying LIKE I ONCE KNEW for my earthly needs' in the last 7 yrs or so. PERMIT ME TO CONFESS "IT IS DIFFICULT FOR ME TO PRAY ABOUT 'MY NEEDS' AFTER REALIZING MY HEAVENLY FATHER KNOWS I HAVE NEED AND HAS INSTRUCTED ME TO RATHER PRAY ABOUT THE UNSEEN DAILY BREAD which a natural man/mind knows not. My mind still fights this till date.

Many might not agree with me on the following summary/submission: Our current approach the issue of our earthly government is eternally questionable. Satan understands and would hijack anything that falls short of the divine blue print. We need the help of the Spirit to study how Jesus managed/related the issue of the government of his day, which was much more callous/corrupt that the one of our day.

Matt. 23:26 gives a hint on the attitude/protocol which would produce a different result and God is committed not to discountenance. He would step down and change situations/shake every shakable

Matt. 23:26 Thou blind (what needs to be dealt with in the Church – you and I) Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter (i.e. so I, God can come and rest), that the outside of them may be clean also (i.e. so you, man can rest also)

God is already judging and would yet judge until peace comes. No person is higher than God’s sword. God's judgment would bring forth righteousness, and the righteous shall see a restoration would be vindicated/joyful

We need the lord to help us interpret the events and circumstances surrounding us clearly SO WE MAY RESPOND ACCURATELY AND PRAY ARIGHT, AMEN.

The Other Side of The Olympic Coin (The Old Vs. The New)



Beloved,
I learnt of Nigeria's delegation to the Olympic, comprising about 200 out of which only 51 were athletes! Hmm.  I also heard folks vent their opinions on the countries poor performance...  I wish the arm of flesh (corruption watch-dogs) available today could quickly help us tame corruption....

I learnt of one country's (undisclosed) desperation to fetch more gold at the Olympics, that in their quest to compete with countries like USA who rank high in gold, they aggressively hunt for capable potential athletics etc, desperately/forcefully recruit some and take them through rigorous preparations years ahead of each competition... Hmmm

I learnt of the Olympic sex-village on a cable network, and just realized it’s a common norm for athletes to exploit/enjoy themselves and the committee in charge has only said they would probe the unofficial use of condoms at the sex village despite the distribution of accepted condoms.... i.e. not the fact that illegitimate sex is a part of the event.. and i asked myself if this whole glamorous thing is not one of the things highly esteemed by men and if it is finally acceptable in the sight of God like it is in my/our eyes?... Lk. 16:15 remains one of the most unfriendly statements of Jesus to all generations including ours... I hope to fully agree with Jesus here 'someday' and come into the fellowship called the Sight of God someday

See a recent quote on such on the last Olympic…some of the unbudgeted cost involved in bringing the world together:


 "(Sex) is common at the Olympics. It's necessary. It's natural," Dr. Joao Olyntho Machado Neto said. "If you are going to be healthy people, why not make sex? ... Brazil is very tolerant with sex as a country. We don't have Victorian minds and we're not religious." Ivory Coast swimmer Kouassi Brou was one of the youngest competitors in Beijing at 16, but he's grown up now. And ready for some Olympic love. "In 2008 I was so young and so shy, so I didn't interact with the women," the 20-year-old Brou said. "But now I'm a big man. So I can try. I will try." And he's clear about his ambitions. "If they are beautiful, it's OK," he said. Thousands of free condoms will be available. Organizers have heard enough about village antics from previous games to know there will be heavy demand by athletes for contraception. Solo recalled seeing competitors having sex out in the open in Beijing." http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/07/18/olympic-village-sex-london-party_n_1684522.html

I watched the synchronized swimming real time... Waoh! Trilling!! The world has sought and attained a high level of perfection!!! The church is still is gradually being liberated from mindsets  that makes her wish perfection is possible, though written in black and white as a commandment (Matt. 5:48) that we be perfect even as our father which in heaven is perfect.

I watched quite some of the lawn tennis events men/women, 'enjoyed' it but saw numerous expressions described by Solomon as ‘Vexation of the spirit’ in and out of each tournament. I went to Ecclesiastes and realized many references to it as part of the package that comes with activities UNDER THE SUN (The Present/Old Creation). I then agreed though in an age of grace, that i am yet to see some of what Solomon saw and therefore wrote Eccl. chapter 12.13-14. I now agree that everything traceable to Adam/The fall/The Present has the capacity to be a veil to Seeking The New which was described as a City with a foundation (i.e. the foundation of the present remains shaky waters - Ps. 24:1-2 ).

… and my response was:
  • OH THAT THE ARCHITECT OF THE PRESENT WORLD WAS GOD, SO PASSIONATE MEN WITH A GOAL OF MAKING THIS WORLD A BETTER PLACE WOULD BE COMFORTED AND NOT KEEP CHASING AFTER THE WIND
  • Oh that the unknown cosmos/state of the New creation, which only our recreated human spirit has experienced could be sought by hearts that have not been fashioned like Father Abraham's heart was, so all could partake in the glory thereof.
  • Oh that the earth in all its so called beauty, pomp and pageantry would not be later folded like a garment (Isa. 34:4/Heb. 1:12) and depart hastily at the ultimate revelation of God's face (Rev. 20:11), having been starved of that blessed experience for dispensations/centuries.
  • Oh that believers would endure the consuming fire called God by subscribing to words of righteousness which remains foreign to our soulish constitution, that they might be purified into lively/living stones
  • OH THAT GOD WAS PLEASED WITH THE PRESENT, LIKE MY GENERATION  IS AT EASE WITH IT, OH THAT IT WOULD SURVIVE THE SHAKING PROPHESIED OF OLD (HEB. 12:27) WHICH HAS ALREADY STARTED
  • Then would preachers of righteousness cease to be at logger heads with God's people and proclaim peace when actually the earth is in disharmony with the heavens
  • THEN WOULD GOLGOTHA CEASE TO BE THE MOST A BEAUTIFUL PLACE ON EARTH. 
Fortunately and unfortunately for man, access to the New/The New Creation has been procured for us, though not yet real to us (therefore DO WE HARDLY LOOK FOR/HASTEN UNTO IT - 2Pet. 3:12), the present remains obsolete and would have to be always relegated so we come into appreciation of The New wherein dwells Righteousness.

The present has been well polished, seems it would endure forever, looks united and as glorious and glamorous as an Olympic opening day ceremony projects, BUT ITS NOT WORTH BEING BEHELD BY GOD BECAUSE IT HASN'T BEEN SEPARATED NEITHER CAN IT BE. Which kind God be this self?

I still hope i can see a close match to THE BEST/IMMEASURABLE USE OF THE SOUL UNDER THE SUN, WHICH TO ME IS TO SEEK AND SWALLOW GOD, WHILE IN THE DAYS OF OUR FLESH!

While using the world and not abusing it (1Cor.7:31), we may watch everything ongoing, pray for them for salvation/the kingdom to come (Rev. 12:10), we must love them, trust God that our country would be free from corruption not primarily so we can feature better athletes or compete better with other nations in sports/economically but be an ensign to other nations like God once desired to do through Israel in the flesh. Above all, we must agree with the appraisal of the Holy Apostles that THE WORLD IS FADING/PASSING AWAY! 1Cor. 7:31
  • A new day called TODAY has been opened up in God through Christ! It’s a day when the Lord has resolved to Teaching Us To Number Our Days according to the Spirit/Spiritual Wisdom (Ps. 90:12)
  • It’s a day the Lord has gone ahead of us to prepare us for (Jn. 14:2c) and he demands we gradually relinquish that which we have known and celebrated as our day i.e. the day of the old creation/old man called yesterday, which was actually never ours but well packaged and sold to us by an enemy.
  •  It’s a day that resides in the kingdom, introduced by the writing of New Laws in our heart and minds through declarations of spiritual wisdom from the speaker and builder of the house (Heb. 1:2/3:3-6)
  • BEHOLD, A NEW DAY IS BEFORE US AND WE MUST DISCERN AND RECEIVE RIGHTEOUS JUDGEMENTS TO DISOBEY EVERYTHING TRACEABLE TO THE OLD DAY, THE DAY THAT GOVERNS THE NATURAL MAN.

Bless You!
