The word ‘perform,’ of John 15:15 is epiteleo (ep-ee-tel-eh'-o) ‘1. to fulfill further (or completely), i.e. execute 2. (by implication) to terminate, undergo.’ The consummation of this friendship is not by any commitment of my doing. It is wholly the Lord’s doing. The implausibility of this phenomenon dazzles one with the incredulity of its uncanny pose. The Bible’s revelation to this fact, that Jesus, very God of very God, is the Performer of this phenomenal cater-cousin with Divinity simply puts my mind at rest and at the same time blows my mind in all directions of the atmospheric winds.Read More

I WILL GIVE YOU REST [part two]

April 11, 2020

How could He be the Lord of Sabbath and still be standing before them? This conundrum is resolved in the book of John. "And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven" [John 3:13]. He did not say to them, "Son of man which was in heaven." Jesus, as He stood before their very eyes, was simultaneously present in heaven and on the earth. How could His physical being be a manifestation on earth and in heaven even as He spoke with them? No angel can replicate his celestial corporeality anywhere else. Only God, who alone can achieve this feat, is the One who can give this celestial rest. Jesus promises the same rest. Come to Jesus all that are heavy laden. He will give you rest. Amen!Read More

I WILL GIVE YOU REST [part one]

April 6, 2020

One hardly appreciates the mental grokking of it until one is ushered into the physical reality of basking in true rest. The human mind constantly yearns for the serenity that comes from the cessation of physical travails associated with man's life on this terra firma. Rest, indeed, is a subjective delicacy psychogenically sought after by every individual. Man's greatest enemy, the kahuna of task masters, Lucifer, having stumbled on the best way to bring mankind into abject subjugation, sold religious piety to the warped mentality of Adam's progeny. True rest is absolutely nonexistent in religious toils. Jesus, ergo, had to come to man's rescue.Read More

HE IS IN FULL CONTROL (Part five)

April 3, 2020

Every machination of the Antichrist must be designed to accept God's protocol. Control! Satanism cannot, dares not operate outside God's sanction of his evil games. The Bible says he will give the number representing his name (666) to the people he will lord it over. He must do that. His hegemonic Satanism is just seven years. He cannot exceed this. Control. The Church must experience the eschatological rapture a la Enoch's 'translation' and before then the Antichrist son of Lucifer cannot set up any earthly governmental machinery over born again members of the body of Christ -the true Christians. Impossible! "Impossican't!" (My Pastor, Rev. Chris Okotie will jocularly asseverate).Read More

March 21, 2020

Most certainly, dominion got transferred from Adamic hegemony to that of the indwelling serpentine spirit. However, by the protevangelium of Genesis 3:15 the man, technically, was brought in to represent God, putting Him, the LORD God, in control. When God's breath, which He put in man's creation, mixes with the faith in God's word, man becomes his creator's oracular afflatus –office of a regnant prophet. The meaning of Seth, Adam's third son, is the Hebraic shêth (shayth): compensation; put, that is, substituted.' Having been put in place by divine authorisation, the Bible says, "And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the LORD" [Gen 4:26]. The LORD never did lose control. Amen.Read More

Sinfulness is a contagion. A languorous effort to renew the mind is a blatant refusal to heed God's call to repentance. It is as evil as deciding to tow the inglorious path of the progenitor of the antediluvian miscreants. Cain was the first born human ever to come through biological parturition. Cain’s procacious act was reenacted by Pharaoh. His (Cain) spiritual demise led him to his eventual physical death. His progeny died in the great deluge for dishonouring God’s word (likened to water); no wonder Pharaoh perished in the fluidity of liquid ocean. His will, even the will of God, is in full control. His will is not a created phenomenon. His will is His Word: a Personage –Jesus Christ— the Lord of glory. The verity of His absolute control is irrefragable.Read More

God, in Isaac, was still in control. Amen. Jacob must come into physical contact with Him to prepare the exodus of Jah people.

We may not have the physical location of Eden again but that can never make Him lose control of the earth. Satan thought he had firm control, having executed a successful putsch against the dominion of Adam, and especially having, as his global priest, Cain, the very first born of Adam's family. The Genesis 3:15 spoken word of God found a germination in Seth: for in his days men began to call upon the name of the Lord. God must save the world to prove His firm control so eight souls were the surviving evangelists of His coming.Read More

Righteousness (5)

March 6, 2020

The first biblical couch of ‘righteousness,’ in Genesis 15:6, was Mosaic. Moses never saw Abraham. How did he come to know of Abrahamic life? It was dictated to him by God, (which was, and which is and which is to come), Jehovah who saw it all. Without doubt, I can hear God telling Moses, “Abraham believed Me -the I AM- and, opening a celestial account on his behalf, I calculated and entered the sum of ‘righteousness’.” Where did Abraham get the faith? From the Word of God. Abraham owned neither the faith nor the Word: for both are of God. Selah!Read More

Righteousness is not a visibility of a worn toga. It is the covering raiment for the regenerated soul. Not visible to the naked eyes, it becomes apropos for the corporeality of the redeemed to interpret the honourificabilitudinitatibus of the new man in Christ. Who is this new man? He is revealed in Colossians 3:9-10, which reads, “…seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; 10) And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:” The new man is the creation of the Lord Jesus of whom the Scripture says, “…and without him was not any thing made that was made” [John 1:3]. The new man’s spiritual locale is found in his Maker. 2Corinthians 5:17, “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”Read More

February 20, 2020

It is not our righteousness, as the Bible instructs in Ephesians 4:24, "And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true." The verb ‘put on’ is enduo (en-doo'-o) ‘to invest with clothing.’ The adjective ‘new’ is kainos (kai-nos') ‘new (especially in freshness);’ and ‘create’ is ktizo (ktid'-zo) ‘to fabricate, i.e. found (form originally).’ Righteousness is a toga, a state of being, as a matter of fact. It is a toga that remains ever fresh all because the eternal LORD keeps it an eternal reality. Jesus tells us in Matthew 5:6 "Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled." The truth is that one cannot hunger after these virtues without being born again.Read More

Righteousness (1)

February 4, 2020

Zacharias pointed out the necessary outwardness of our piety, saying: "In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life" [Luke 1:75]. The reason for this show of the inherent 'righteousness' is simply that it is our duty to interpret righteousness for the beneficial digestion of what we are to their blind ocular perception. Our Christian lives are interpretation of the righteousness of Christ, our Dwelling. In Greek the word 'holiness' is hosiotēs (hos-ee-ot'-ace) 'piety towards God, fidelity in observing the obligations of piety, holiness.' From the heathen, with whom God had no spiritual transaction of any covenant, God expected no piety. To the Israel of His covenant, even before the parturition of the patriarchal twelve, God said, "....Be ye holy; for I am holy" [1Peter 1:16]; taken from Leviticus 11:44. God was careful not to say it to the Egyptian, Roman, Indian or Chinese. Only to one nation of Israel He had the covenant, ergo, Paul will often write, "First to the Jew then to the Gentiles."Read More

Will God worship His creation; will He steal or give bribes? Will he hate a righteous person? Is it possible for Jehovah God to lie, commit adultery and or slander the innocent? This is what the Greek rendition of 'nothing shall be impossible' is: "There is not anything spoken by the mouth of God that shall be impossible for Him to perform." The truth is that, Gabriel uttered the self-same words of the LORD God, "Is any thing too hard for the LORD?" [Genesis 18:14] in His visitation to Abraham’s family. This was the LORD’s query when Sarah laughed, saying, "Shall I of a surety bear a child, which am old" [Genesis 18:13]? Now, 'any thing,' the Hebrew dâbâr (daw-baw'), is a masculine noun: BDB Definition: 'speech, word, speaking, thing, saying, utterance.' Strong's Definition: 'a word; by implication a matter (as spoken of) of thing.' This the Hebraic rendition of "Is any thing too hard for the Lord?" היפלא מיהוה דבר and the transliteration is hayippale meihovah dabar, with the English translation: “Shall a word (or thing) be wonderful from the Lord? i.e., Can any thing be too great a miracle for him to effect?'Read More

HAPPY NEW 2020 YEAR!

January 1, 2020

You can never lose –if you put all your eggs in just one basket. The wisdom of the world counsels you not to put all your eggs in one basket lest you run into economic loss. But as far as the word of God is concerned you must put all your eggs in one basket: the basket of Jesus. Whatever calculations they operate into your life you will not lose. If the enemy should perform a mathematical 20-20=0 or 2-2=0, the Bible says all their calculated machinations shall come to a big, fat nought –zero. Let them carry out an operation of multiplication with the numbers, let it not lead you into any apprehension, they have succeeded in making a Jabez of your life.Read More

The Christmas Story (Part three)

December 28, 2019

The Christmas story is of heaven reinstating Adam to his dominion role. Power must change hands. And seeing an imminent abscission of the spiritual power (i.e. of spiritism) that protects the global political hegemony of Satanism, Herod became very jittery. An arrangement to surcease God’s intention preoccupied Herod’s demonic stance. God is always steps ahead of His enemies. The wise men who had by then come to the understanding of the incarnation that must precede the practicality of soteriological design had no problem, whatsoever, obeying the instruction of Matthew 2:12 “And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.”Read More
