Who among us knows exactly why, God had to send a messenger to mankind after a long time since creation? What is it that human beings never understood from the word go, which later needed, and up to now, needs revelation? Brethren and friends alike, am hereby giving everyone a challenge. And how good it will be to those who will take it with an open mind and a willing heart! Hear it please if you can: After a prayerful thorough and, researchful bible study, what God has revealed to me is this.
It’s either, almost all human beings, the religious included, are deceived, or, what I am calling God’s revelation in Christ is a lie and am a false prophet/preacher. It is either one but not the two. So, which is which? This is what God is revealing to anyone who seeks to have his/her eyes opened. Don’t turn to me for an argument please. Turn to your bible and prove everything from there. After that, decide whether to take what God says or, take what you are used to.
From the way almost all of us human beings behave, we are a mystery to ourselves, and so is the life that we live. The God we worship, and His way of life is also a mystery. Why? Lets talk experience, yes, lets talk what we do,and we will know why we may be a mystery to ourselves. Before we go into the real information, let us all bear this one thing in mind please.
The word of God is not a traditional story taught from one generation to another. It is God’s information for mankind on what they are, what life they should be living and how to live it, and, about the goal one will achieve after doing that. So, if any one among us thinks that they are informed, let them first display their talk in what they do. I say this because, the example we have, of those who were informed before us is that, they talked what they did-Acts.1:1, not just what they read-see, 2 cor.10:11 please.
WE ARE PHYSICALLY COMPLETE
This is something which every human being has seen and know. God first prepared everything that the physical body needs for sustenance before creating man-Gen.1:11-12,29-30. After that, he created Adam with a complete body physically. This is proven by how up to today, every human being develops physically to completion in the womb, during the gestation period. Immediately after birth, all that one is given is the things which God prepared in advance for sustaining the physical body, that is- food, drink, and clothing/shelter- Ecles.2:24; Mat.6: 25. Remember, Christ wants to prove to you how, unless what He is revealing here is the way you conduct yourself, you and your life are a mystery to you. Back to point please. All of you will agree with me that, the physical body you where born with, is the exact same one that has remained up to now, not changed in any way except for, maturingto some ,and aging out to others. Therefore, what we do in our daily businesses in this physical life, does not advance us physically.
God confirms this through Solomon whose experience with the physical brought him to this conclusion, that, as one came from the mother’s womb, so shall he go again, naked as he came, and shall take nothing for his toil-Ecles.5:15. This means that, all that one profits physically is to eat, drink, dress and find pleasure-Ecles.5:18-19. This being the case then, does it mean that God’s purpose for creating us was to give us enough wealth to enable us have enough food drink and clothing? Our Lord is here in 1 Cor.15:19, saying, if our hope in Christ is for this physical life only, then we are of all men to be the most pitied.
Why? Because this physical body whose sustenance is by food, drink, and clothing is of few days and packed with problems. It’s like grass, and its glories are like the flower of the field-Job.14:1-3. Could God have created us just for to eat, drink, make merry, after which we die? Does this make sense with an all knowing, all wise creator?
MAN’S CREATION IS A PROCESS
Remember please, that, what you are reading here is the very and only true gospel(information) which Christ brought to mankind from their creator. God wants a man who is like Him in every way-Gen.1:26. God is what He is because he freely and willingly chose to be so. Yes, because according to Him, there is no better life than the one He lives. So, He can’t substitute it with another, for there is no other more valuable life than this one of His, a good reason why, He cant change-Mal.3:6.
Therefore, for man to be like God, he must freely choose to be so, a good reason why God created us, free moral agents. It is also for this reason why He didn’t create us to completion at once. God alone is eternal- immortal. So, before He could make us eternal, He gave us a room to choose whether we want to live forever or not.
That room, which is also the first stage in man’s creation process is this physical life ( see 1 Cor.15:46,49 please) we are living now, in which He is telling every one of us to choose between life and good, and death and evil-Deut.30:15; Gen.2:16-17. Let’s now understand please if we can. It is for this choice-making that God created us in this physical with a short-lived life, so that, if we choose death and evil, we may surely die- Gen.2:17.
THE FIRST BIRTH
Know and understand please, that, it is God who created the physical bodies with perishable material, purely as a training ground and a period for the training. I have heard almost all God-believers say that Adam fell to sin, it’s like He was created a holy being. Nothing is more deceitful than that notion. Adam was neither evil nor holy at creation.
He was to make a beginning based on the choice he makes. So, the right statement should be that, Adam made the wrong choice, and therefore begun wrongly, going the evil and death-bringing pathway. For this reason, God halted man’s creation and Adam remained a perishable being. Do you believe that? If not, my friend, you will remain a mystery to yourself and your end is death, for you will not allow God to further your creation.
How does this perishable life come about?
We are here talking about the first birth. For a physical human being to be born, the egg of the father joins with the egg of the mother in the womb, and an impregnation takes place. At this point the life of a baby begins in the womb, not outside and the child develops in there for nine months after which, a complete physical being is born, out of the womb, into the physical world, a fleshly being as the father is flesh-John.3:6.
This my friends is the first birth which is made of a perishable seed, and is sustained by perishable ingredients-1 Pet.1:23; …the food which perishes-John.6:27; and its glories are also short lived- 1 pet.1:24.Man was disconnected from his creator at this point and so, he remained physical, able to understand and deal physically only. This is why, according to this civilization ( the present world), advancement in life is counted on how much wealth one has, how far one is gone in this worldly learning, and how high one is gone in positions of leadership, all physical and like a flower- short lived. And because this is based on a lie that man is like God- Gen.3:4-5, that he doesn’t die, and that he is all knowing, then everyone lives to uphold, their imagined life, which is very corrupt and destructive-Jerem.18:12; Eph.4:22. The results of this way of life are the evils we are witnessing today- bad news in every activity, proving that we are deceived and our ways are false-Jerem.10:2-3; Eph.4:17-18. What should we do then?
THE SECOND BIRTH
Do you want to go into this second birth, which is of the imperishable seed.. 1 Pet. 1:23, 25? Listen please and know how to do it? After a long time of blindness, God send His messenger, the Christ, to mankind, to open the eyes ( give knowledge) of those who freely choose to believe-Isa.42:7. If you are keenly following, you will remember how we begun our message by wondering why God had to send a messenger, long time after creating man. Here is the answer. What did Christ say we should do to be made complete and so become the human beings whom God has in mind-Gen.1:26? Hear it if you are given to please. Unless you are born again, you cannot enter the kingdom of God-John.3:3.
This is the second birth my friends, which is also the second stage and last in man’s creation process, for, in the same way we were born in this perishable, physical first birth, so shall we be in this imperishable, spiritual one- 1 Cor.15:49. Our Lord inspired Paul to confirm this when he says, for this perishable must put on the imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality-1 Cor.15:53. Do you believe the gospel? If yes, where do we begin? Christ is here giving you the beginning point, asking; have you heard the message and believed, and are now are ready to live it? Let those who have ears hear please. If anyone wants to follow me, he must deny self- Mat.16:24. There you are my friend.
Where? You must first denounce the lie of Eden. Against being like God, being one who can produce knowledge and live independently, accept that, you are physical, short lived, dust of the ground, and all that you call achievements are just like mist-Gen.3:19; James.4:14; Gen.18:27; Isa.40:6-7. That is what it takes to deny self, for the self is based on the man you were deceived to believe you are. That acceptance will only be possible in those who accept this message, for it is only after one realizes that he/she is perishable that, they will see a need for a change. Where does this leave someone? That we are nothing, and only fools, blind ignorant people, who unless they are developed to something else, they will perish-Gal.6:3; Eph.4:18; Ecles.5:15; Rom.1:22.
THE SPIRITUAL IMPREGNATION
Anyone who has arrived at the above acceptance is like the egg of a woman which is ready for fertilization. Yes, he/she will be a person who discovers that he is a building under construction, which can build itself. Now hear please. The word of scriptures is the gospel that was preached to you ( the message which you are reading now)- 1Pet.1:25. Once one accepts it, one stops using the old knowledge- Eph.4:22, and the word becomes his new way of thinking-Deut.4:6.
This is what it takes to repent ( turn from your former knowledge about yourself to the now-being-introduced one), and at this point, you shall receive the holy spirit ( the father’s fertilizing egg)-Acts.2:38, and it is here that, the spiritual impregnation takes place, kickstarting the second birth process. Remember, the word of God is His spirit and life in writing, while this spirit one receives is His active living word in men’s hearts-John.6:63; Rom.8:4. This confirms what our Lord is saying through peter, that you have been begotten anew with the imperishable seed (holy spirit) through the abiding and living word of God-1 pet.1:23. As we all know, God does things in duality.
There is the shadow, and the reality. There was the physical temple build by Solomon- 1 Chron.28:7-8; there is the spiritual temple being build by Christ- 1 Cor.6:19; Eph.2:21-22; 1 Cor.3:9: There was the physical ark of the covenant in which was the ten commandments on stones; there is the spiritual ark in which is also the ten commandments in the hearts of men- Jerem.31:33; John.14:23: There is the physical birth- 1 Cor.15:46; there is the spiritual birth-1 cor.15:45-46,49 ( for details, please listen to our videoed message from YouTube, namely, “living and walking in the spirit”). The point here is that, the physical is a show of the spiritual, the reality-Col.2:16, for, the invisible nature of the spirit-God is seen in the visible things He created- Rom.1:20.What I am saying is that, the same process which the first birth ( the physical) took is the same that the spiritual takes.
THE SPIRITUAL WOMB
In the same way a child begins to develop in the mother’s womb immediately after the father’s egg joins with the mother’s egg, so also, a spiritual child begins to develop in the word’s womb, immediately after one receives the holy spirit. Christ, equating this spirit with water says that, the water that I shall give him will become in him a spring of water, welling up to eternal life- John.4:14. Know what this means?
The measure of the holy spirit given at baptism is the equivalent of the mustard seed. It must be nourished by obedience to the word, that is, remaining in the spiritual womb, for, you were baptized into Christ (the word), and we must remain in Him until the end- Rom.6:3; Heb.3:6,14; Col.2:7.This is the beginning of the spiritual gestation period. Any time one lives outside God’s word, that person chokes the spirit in him and it’s like, beginning to poison the embryo which may result to miscaureage, for the spirit functions only in the word-John.16:13; Rom.8:4.
So, in this spiritual gestation period, we grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord, being renewed in the spirit of our minds, which is created in the likeness of our creator, until Christ be formed in us- 2 pet.3:18; Eph.4:23-24; Gal.4:19; yes, until we mature to that fullness of the likeness of Christ- our example-Eph.4:12-13.Godliness is about a spiritual Child in the womb, undergoing knowledge and character development- Heb.12:14; Rom.2:7. Its about a building under construction which cant build itself- John.15:4-5; psalm.127:1. At any time one assumes, like so many do, that he is born again, then he blinds himself and sees no need of growing for this second birth. He makes Christ a liar who said that, in the same way one born of the flesh is flesh, so also will one born of the spirit be spirit-John.3:6.
THE CONFUSION
If the truth is this clear, why would some claim to be saved and so, born again? Brethren and friends, God has given us all things that pertain to godliness, so that by the knowledge of scriptures, we may escape the corruption that is in the world because of lust, and so, become partakers of His divine nature-2 pet. 1:4. We are being saved if we hold fast this word in which we stand ( Eph.2:20), and by which we are saved if we stay build and rooted in it (col.2:7), unless we believed in vain- 1 Cor.15:1-2. But because hypocrisy has been there since the beginning, a great majority want to pretend to be on one stage while in reality they are on the other. What do I mean? We are seeing a people who claim to have believed in the gospel, but are fully in the world, for the world and by the world.
This is because, it is impossible to apply the perishable appliances in the imperishable development. Or, have we not read that, the perishable cannot inherit the imperishable- 1 Cor.15:50? And because the kingdom of God is imperishable, then, it is does not consist in eating and drinking-Rom.14:17? Why then are those preparing for its coming looking to wealth and fellowmen for spiritual sustenance? We are seeing men in God’s church who cheat to get money; who talk well of other people to get support; who give money to earn followers.
Why?
Because they pretend to have heard and accepted the word of God while their hearts are very much in the physical, the perishable. And because it can only depend on the perishable, though they harbor the talk of the imperishable, their deeds can only engage and apply in the perishable. This is why the present Leodicean church cant differentiate between the perishable and the imperishable appliances, for which case, they are confused.
WAKE UP
Christ is continually through his gospel showing the difference between the two stages in man’s creation process, and how they can’t work together. He clearly shows how, once somebody advances from one stage to another, one cant apply the former. Hear it please. In the first stage, which is physical and perishable, people are physical minded because it’s the only life they know. So, their efforts, fears and worries, joys and pleasures are on, what to eat, drink and wear- Mat.6:25.
If you remember, we saw how these things were all prepared for us before we were created, a good reason why Christ says that, we need them, in other words, he created the physical to be sustained by them-Mat.6:32. But his purpose of creating the physical was not for those things, but for, developing his knowledge and righteous character, using the physical-yes, for choice-making and training in it. So now, since those who have accepted the gospel have advanced to the second stage after receiving the holy spirit, their fears and worries, joys and pleasures have changed from the physical to the spiritual, for, it is impossible to live and walk in the spirit, by the power of the flesh-Mat.16:25; 6:24. Christ shows very clearly how, its is those in the perishable stage (the ungodly-gentiles), who seek after the perishable-Mat.6:32; Rom.8:5.
Does this mean we stop working for daily bread and concentrate in reading the bible and praying? Not even in the least. On the contrary, we are the hardest-working people on this earth, as it is written, whatever you put your hands to, do with all your might, for there is no work in the grave where you are going. What then do we mean by not applying the physical for the spiritual? Who is this who turns things upside down? A clay questioning the potter-Isa.29:16? How can we believe God to be our creator and giver of life and all things-Acts.17:25, and don’t believe, he has given guidelines on how each operates and applies in life?
SEEK FIRST THE KINGDOM
God is not against materialism, for, He created all things for us to enjoy-Rom.8:32. God is against idolatry, the misplacement, misapplication, the wrong use of anything he created- which is what He calls sin. Everything was created with a purpose which is clearly explained in scriptures. So, to seek first the kingdom, is to simply not do anything according to what we think, but rather, be careful to understand how God wants it to apply in life-Prov.3:5. Since we know how this physical life is for spiritual training by which God is developing us into spirit beings, then, the beginning point is to always question ourselves whether what we do is taking us a step nearer to becoming a spirit being- the main purpose for every other thing.
For this reason, those who are now in the spiritual womb, think about nothing else other than, to be born again. Its basing on this that Christ is saying; do not labour for the food which perishes, but for that which endures to eternal life- John.6:27. Which one? But the word( life-John.6:63) of God endures forever- 1 pet.1:25. I know most of us have not known why the new covenant is about, God writing His laws in our hearts and inscribing them in our minds-Jerem.31:33. Christ who is the example of what we will become one made complete, is called the word of God- Rev.19:13.
God is making us His word, and this is the purpose for this physical body. Brethren, as unfinished building, and a people who don’t know themselves except by what God would tell them, we cant live by any other knowledge, except the one God is teaching us. Not that there is any other knowledge, for though, there are so many thoughts in the hearts of men, it is God’s purpose that will be established- Prov.19:21; Jerem.10:23. What is this God’s purpose? To develop man into a spirit being-Gen.1:26, the same way God Himself is spirit. So friends we need to work in making this word of God to be our knowledge, our thoughts, our desires- yes, our way of life, for by so doing, we are developing the imperishable seed.
This is why Christ says that, the food of those who are in the imperishable development is not meat and drink- John.4:32,13, but, it is to obey( practice the word) the one who sent me and accomplish His work-John.4:34. Which work? That of going round preaching to others? This is the work of God that you believe( obey the word for character development) in him whom God has sent-John.6:29. And by so doing, the will of God which is to crown us with spirit bodies ( which is also our food-John.4:34) and give us eternal life-John.6:40, will be accomplished. It is when this is done that the second birth-process will be accomplished, at which point, we will bodly say, I am born again, and fully saved because death no long has power over me-1 Cor.15:54-55. My friends, the mystery is fully unveiled before your own eyes.
Is this the gospel you believed? Are you geared at being careful not to miscarry, but rather to be nourished by the cleansing of water through the word, to be made spotless through obedience of the truth( word-John.17:17)-Eph.5:26; 1 pet.1:22? Not unless you want to remain a mystery to yourself and at the end, you perish. Whoever has ears, let Him hear what the spirit is telling the Church. To as many as do yearn for this accomplishment, the grace of God be with you.
