Tithes Revisited (four)

Abraham was not prompted by the legalism of Mosaic Law. Abraham did not handover the tithes of his volitional drive to Aaron who, together with every priest of his progeny, did die (read verse 8). He paid it to the Melchizedek i.e. the ‘immortality’ in representation of Christ. If the appropriation of faith in Jesus is what makes one a Christian, then it is quite germane to say that Abraham's faith in Jehovah makes him a Christian. Jesus, in Melchizedek, received the tithes from Abraham, a type of a Christian. Abraham’s tithes was not of an extraction of legality. Read More

Tithes Revisited (three)

"If others be partakers of this power over you, are not we rather? Nevertheless we have not used this power; but suffer all things, lest we should hinder the gospel of Christ." Moving towards the didactic crescendo, Paul reminds them of the legal claim he possesses, more than the Old Testament priesthood, over the tenth part of their substantial worth. 13) "Do ye not know that they which minister about holy things live of the things of the temple? and they which wait at the altar are partakers with the altar? 14) Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel." The tithes that have been brought to the temple form a good part of the things found on the altar of the Temple. God's storehouse has not crumbled. Or has it?Read More

Tithes Revisited (two)

When the Temple curtain tore in two at the death of Jesus, the Holy Spirit left the Jerusalem Temple. After the Pentecostal inaugural establishment of the Church, HIS place of assemblage with God's children had always been the Church auditorium. That which was put in the storehouse must continue lest we be found guilty of "robbing God." Amen. 'Storehouse' of Malachi 3:10 is ôtsâr (o-tsaw'): 'a depository.' Three verses prove that ôtsâr is of the temple. Malachi 3:8, "Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings." If a refusal to handover tithes and offerings constitute robbery of God's property, and I give out only my offerings am I not a thief in tithing? Selah!Read More

Tithes Revisited (one)

The legalism of Old Testament, concerning tithing, which they employ, does not hold any argumentative water at all. Abraham, who first offered his tithe did not have to comply out of any religious and coercive straitjacket terms. Father Abraham gave it out of sheer faith. Now we can comfortably say that God had no choice but to give an imprimatur to an idea solely envisioned by faithful Abraham, to bless HIS Israelites.

It was not only a case of God knowing this in eternity of the past, HE was the One who deposited the thought into Abraham's heart. Amen.

TRINITY OF THE GODHEAD (7)

The High Priest went in there to represent the entire nation of Israel for the forgiveness of the year's transgressions. He stood sacerdotally before the unseen Jehovah Elohim and the Holy Spirit duly accepted the oblational approach. Without Him there is no Church administration. God's thoughts came alive in the minds of Bible writers to checkmate any contradictory scripting of the word of God because He inspired them. Only God knows the mind of God. The Holy Spirit (i.e. the burning lamp of Rev. 4:5) is there in the celestial throne room to purify God's word seven times. He is the lamp to our righteous feet before the LORD. The fire wraps us up in the righteous zeal for the Lord's use. Read More

TRINITY OF THE GODHEAD (6)

There cannot be four, two or a thousand of THEM: in the Godhead. Whoever thinks there are more or less than three should come with the proof of Scripture. "For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one" [1John 5:7]. The word 'one' is heis (heis`) in the Greek, meaning: 'a neuter 'one' implying one in all things: essence, power, majesty, knowledge.’ Hebrews 12:24 reads, "And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel." The book of 1Peter 1:2 does strike the cord of the Divine accord found in the Trinity. It reads, "Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.” There, most certainly, would not have been any Divine Mediation without the instauration carried out by the Trinity, through which we become recipients of the soteriological grace of the Most High. Amen! Read More

TRINITY OF THE GODHEAD (5)

Isaiah 42:8, "I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images" is an established fact that God does not share honour and worship. Why –have you ever asked yourself–- would attributes of Divinity be shared among the Trinity? What a perfect plan of Divinity is in operation: God, the Father, sits in the celestial assizes as the absolute Judge; God, the Son, is seated as the Eternal Advocate; the Divine Witness is none other than the Holy Spirit!

TRINITY OF THE GODHEAD (4)

There is no gainsaying the Eternal Father's almightiness even if Luke 18:27, "And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God;" is silent about it. An eminent Job could not hide the prevalent truism of "I know that thou canst do every thing, and that no thought can be withholden from thee" (Job 42:2). Revelation 1:8 is an unveiling of Jesus as the ‘Almighty’, the Greek of which is pantokratōr (pan-tok-rat'-ore): 'he who holds sway over all things; the ruler of all; the all ruling, that is, God (as absolute and universal sovereign).' This is the Lord Jesus whom the world would gladly see as nondescript –just one of the prophets. Read More

TRINITY OF THE GODHEAD (3)

In the Palestinian days of His earthly sojourn, and in fact, centuries before then, Jehovah God was seated in the holiest compartment of the temple, covered by the second veil, called katapetasma (kat-ap-et'-as-mah). God, the Father, needed not come down. Seated in Majestic Divinity, receiving worship was the Holy Spirit. Why? Because the Trinity constitutes one God. We understand from Scripture that the Holy Spirit is the Spirit, both of God the Father and of Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit is, therefore, not left out in the profundity of John 10:30, "I and my Father are one." Put 'I' and 'are' together and an invocation of 'I AM,' the covenant name of JEHOVAH has been established. Read More

TRINITY OF THE GODHEAD (2)

The LORD God will remain eternally spotless spiritually. He alone, therefore, must show His unprecedented loving kindness. He cannot, as the eternally seated One on the throne (Eternal Judge), come down to save mankind. The invisibility of the Holy Spirit would not attempt it. This leaves the seen One among the Three: the Second Member, Jesus Christ. HE is the Jehovah of legality. There is no way, according to the Scripture of theology, that any man would ever be jurisprudentially redeemed into God's eternal loving arms, as far as adjudication is concerned, if He were just One Entity. Another reason why Christ must wear the toga of corporeality is that if One of the Members does not, of necessity, assume the representative capacity of Sonship, none can ever enter the filial relationship of "Abba Father" with the Creator.

PROOF OF POWER (3)

February 9, 2019

God does not just display a whimsical proof of power. For an eternal good He has always shown His salvaging hand. All these demonstration of His power is not for the fun of it. Of immense interest is the fact that all this show of power is directed at a certain species of His treasured entities. Paul said, "to us-ward who believe," so who are the 'us?' They are in the preceding verse. "The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints," [Ephesians 1:18].Read More

February 2, 2019

Being the One who told Abraham to, "Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee:" of Genesis 12:1, it then behoves His excellent Divinity to show His Almighty power. God would not allow His covenanted son and friend to lose his wife. The manifestation of His power got Abraham's family protected from Pharaoh's incursion. Why? Satan wanted to scuttle the birth of the next man to receive the baton towards the emergence of the nation of Israel, and ultimately the birth of Jesus. Read More

Ten times in Genesis 1:3, 6, 9, 11, 14, 20, 24, 26, 28 & 29 the Bible records "And God said..." And ten times it was incontestably so. That was power. Creationism recorded another perfection in Adam and the Eden home. God did not stop them from sinning. The Creator, King and God is also the seated Judge, in the celestial assizes. Adjudication in every intelligent act of creation must come before Him who was, is, and is to come. Amen. At the ultimate cup fullness of man's iniquitous ways, only eight souls passed the spiritual test of righteousness. HIS miraculous power was again put to test. Read More

NIGERIA’S ESCHATOLOGICAL ROLE (3)

January 20, 2019

Today, as we know, in the United Kingdom where the best Bible version of the King James Version came from, the best teachers of the kerygma in that country are proudly Nigerians! Amen! It is quite apposite that some Nigerians should be versed in biblical exegesis. The impressive dexterity of Rev. Chris Okotie's pedagogical erudition pertaining to exegetical didacticism of Scripture should not be unexpected. It is all about Nigeria's Hamitic eschatological missionary commitment to the coming of Jesus. Ham must of soteriological ground warn the world of the inexorable emergent of the wicked son of perditionable Satanism. Read More

NIGERIA’S ESCHATOLOGICAL ROLE (2)

January 15, 2019

Ham, the meaning of which is 'warm or hot' has Nigeria as the hottest for Christ among the Hamites. As the world inches towards the eschatological era of biblical prophecy it behoves Ham to reach out in propagation of the coming Messiah. It is for this reason Ham received God's benedictive oracle of Genesis 9:1. Noah could not curse Ham: for it was a causeless one, so, the neck of his son, Canaan, got burdened with the execrative pronouncement of Noah's angst. One nation must be at the epical vanguard of this global evangelism of the ecumenism. Nigeria, evidently, is so strategically positioned for this onerous task.Read More

It is of scriptural understanding that Noah did not have an additional child after the flood. Three sons: Shem, Ham and Japheth are the receivers of Divine unct to be propagators of the word (the induction of the kerygma), which is the primary work of the Church. Amen. The unction of divine benediction would not even allow Noah, their progenitor, to place a curse on an erratically behaved Ham. His (Ham's) progeny has a date of global evangelism in God's dispensational calendar, involving Nigeria of Africa. So, let us look at how they fared in the Lord's business.Read More

The Birth Of Jesus

December 25, 2018

From its Hebrew origin, David is dâvid or dâvı̂yd (daw-veed') meaning: 'beloved or loving.' The Greek calls it Dabid (dab-eed'). The Incarnation is the product of God’s unfeigned love for the fallen man. So it must involve David. If Jesus is the prophesied King of kings then it is germane that His human ancestors should come from a majestic lineage. Jesus will be the conqueror. His lineage must be of a military conquering David. As David replaced the first king who failed to please God, so must Jesus replace the first Adam whose spiritual inadequacy plunged us all into sin. Jesus is truly about God’s expression of an eternal love. Amen! Read More

December 22, 2018

To the whole world Nimrod, the first globally accepted Antichrist, spread another deistic falsehood. The great Deluge destruction notwithstanding, satanic hocus-pocus prevailed over the lives of humanity. The evil elementals of idolatrous worship, in conjunction with Nimrodic sun-worship, was firmly established. The unholy chains of esoteric involvement globalised the religion of Satanism. Each State is headed by an esoteric sectary. Religious firm grip runs through the local government to the communities, right into every facet of family lives. Read More

It was a huge masterstroke for Lucifer to goad the woman, emblematic of the body of worshipping congregation, in making a speech that offers a legalistic feet for the fatuity of Satan's religious establishment. Sadly enough, Adam, the male, stupidity acquiesced. They did receive divine pardon, though, thanks to Jesus (it was part of God's plan to trap and bring Lucifer, who has no second chance, to judgment for his misuse of his free moral agency). Adam's transition into this risk, lamentably, did engender an aphonic proclivity in his characterisation, for the rest of his recorded, scriptural life. Read More

His religion must be clandestinely enwombed in covens. Esotericism must be the order of the game. Codes of hidden denotations are involved.

Its globalisation caps its perfection of aping Jehovah's worship. Religion remains an option that Lucifer intentionally offers the unsuspecting spiritual ignoramus.Read More
