Topic: Coming into the Realm of God's Judgment
The present emphasis is on the strong meat of the word. God began to, by prophecy and by word and the express speaking of the Holy Ghost, appointed to this direction that we are in right now. About five years ago, God started speaking concerning the present waters that we are navigating, which is the strong meat of the word. For years, we dwelt in the strong meat of the word. The church at large, for a long time, had been dwelling on the milk. I desire that the whole church grow together. But from biblical understanding and alignment, inside the structure of the scripture, you discover that it is not easy to grow all the people of God at the same time. For example, God trained Moses and Moses, in turn, had to influence the majority. First of all, some things need to be in the minority before they can move to the majority.
The strong meat of the word is the major meal. It is our Father's agenda to the whole body of Christ. The agenda of the Father is not just to get people born again; He got people born again for a reason. It is not just a salvage from something. God has an intent; He had something He wants us to become. If that is understood, then one will now know why all the churches need to sit and hear the program of God's will, which is the intent.
In the April prayers we just had, a lot has happened in the spirit, not just to us but even to the kingdom of darkness. What transpired in the realm of the spirit has to do with kingdoms; God has judged kingdoms. There can never be deliverance for God's people if dominions are not being judged. For people not to know God is Satan's design, and it is room for the perpetuation of his dominion. Darkened understanding is the sphere of Satan's dominion. Anytime people want to move into an understanding of God, there must be an adverse effect in the realm of darkness. The least of devil's work includes possession of bodies, sickness and diseases. The core work of fallen spirits is darkness. That is why they hate and dread the ministry of light, and they will gang up against it. It is clear that when light is about to hit God's people, spirits must be dethroned.
Nigeria's problem is beyond the understanding of many Christians. What is in our air is extremely and deeply diabolic. It is a very high monstrous operation of Satan. The only way to free this nation is to go into the spirit. Even if we split, there will be problems. All these are because of what God has placed upon Nigeria. There is a responsibility of the Spirit resting on this nation for the whole world, and therefore this nation must suffer and go through pain. All we are going through right now is a birth pain that is about to bring forth something beautiful. You now need Daniel and his company to birth God's purpose and interpret seasons and times because some of these operations can elude a preacher. This is because we are talking in terms of high understanding. The prayers prayed in April has held spirits down; they have conquered spirits. Those evil spirits can depict a posture, but we should not attack that because they do not want us to see something else. The problem of spirits is light.
God started a wisdom; all He wanted to do was to get into Persia, but he had to allow some things to happen. First, Israel went into apostasy, Babylon carried Israel, then, later on, Persia and Medes took over Babylon. Then, Daniel had to war with spirits; he was given a chance to see a war taking place in the spirit. That was the first time Daniel had an opportunity to meet with men of other worlds who were emissaries of dominions. It was a time where he was told that the issue of his nation was not an ordinary one but invisible (Dan. 10:12-14).
The warfare with Satan is not such with swords or weapons like in the physical, but a war of wisdom and war of contention with words because words are swords in the realm of the spirit. It means one must be a master in the scripture of truth. The angel told Daniel that he wanted to show him what is noted in the Bible in heaven (Dan. 10:21). This means that there is a scripture angels read, and even demons know those scriptures; they asked Jesus if He came to torment them before the time (Matt. 8:29). This Bible is not an ordinary work. It can remain like a story or novel, but it is not. It is the words of the invisible, of structural alignment in the spirit. Every iota in the Bible matters to a demon.
So you can see God's wisdom in pushing Israel to Babylon, and from Babylon to Persia. Then, Daniel had grown to accommodate that kind of warfare in the air. If he gave up, that angel would not have broken through. Satan wanted to weaken Daniel on earth for the understanding not to come to earth. At times, your weariness is a result of the warfare happening in the spirit. Evil spirits want you to give up, but can you hold on? If Daniel gave up, it would have been difficult for Jesus to come. This is because the angel downloaded how Christ would come. All of those things are necessary in scripture because there is nothing Christ should do that is not written. So we must follow scriptural alignment.
Some people think there is no power in scripture, and that is a big joke. Scripture-men will have to war. We need light right now, a Daniel in generations, somebody who has an understanding of the spiritual. We need a company like that, that have discernment of the heavens. All that Satan is doing on earth is perverted scripture; it is what is written too. Satan does what is written concerning him. It was written also concerning the person who sold his master (Jn. 17:12).
"To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God, [11] According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord: [12] In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him." Ephesians 3:10-12 Purpose refers to God's aim, what God is aiming at. God's purpose has been before the foundation of the world. No matter what Satan does, he is still working out God's purpose. He killed Jesus, but it was written that Jesus should die, which was God's purpose. A similar thing happened with Job. Satan is the one disturbing Nigeria; but our Lord Jesus has judged him.
There is an eternal purpose and it is all aligned in God's will; it is in God's agenda "And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ…" Ephesians 3:9 There is the fellowship of the mystery that has been hidden in God. There is something God kept secret. The Father intends that the church would come into the ambience or the reign of God's glory. God's eternal purpose is that the church should shine. There are shinings that do not move high spirits. Shining here does not refer to a physical glow. It is possible for the body of one to glow, and the soul is low. So, shining is talking about a demonstration of wisdom, prowess, power, potency, virtue, ability that when people see, they cannot gainsay. There are different ways a person can shine. For example, the intelligence of one can make one shine, and it is all demonstrated in the person's actions and conversations. God wants the church to shine but the shining of the church should outgrow the natural and attract principalities and powers; angels should be wondering.
God wants the church to shine that way that would dazzle the angels because He never showed the angels more. The angels are very very wise. Fallen angels are the ones ruling the earth; they devised all the wrong definitions of beauty. Evil is not necessarily as it has been defined; it is something that can be good but is against God. It is something done not to make one get God. So, you need growth to be able to discern and know evil. If not, one would have romanced and worshipped evil for a long time without knowing. So, Adam and Eve should not be blamed. We were inside Adam and we ate that fruit together with him because he carried all of humanity in him. It is not easy to resist evil.
The Father intends to make sure the church shines a kind of ability that would bring to stupor the angels. Anything one is doing that is not respected by angels is vain, no matter what the mind can build. Our knowledge as men is limited. That is why it is good to know God. Knowing God is not being church; knowing God is vital and key because many bright ones of the devil will be born. God would have to move one to the zenith of the heavens. He has to train and enrich the hearts of some with what is beyond creation. That is what eternal purpose is. Such people will be so wise, and angels would have to adapt to their order; they will judge angels. So the church needs to get ready for exercise and learning.
Satan does not produce any beautiful person. Instead, he studies them and then steals them from God, and they end up disturbing the earth with his wisdom. An example of such is the sons born unto the daughters of men, who then became men of renown in Genesis 6:1-4. Those sons were the ones who caused the problem that led to the flood. So, creative abilities are in God's sons. When God is keeping some people, He knows Satan is interested in them because of the potential He has put in us. And such people need wisdom to be able to interpret themselves. They may be the ones who started the genetic makeup of giants. Satan wants to use what is good. Satan is looking for those who God put things in that are coming to earth in this present period. God purposely darkened Africa - like He darkened the earth and put it in water so nobody will touch it; so Satan cannot use it because it is without form and void. Satan likes to take what God has finished. He became interested in Peter and Jesus had to pray for Peter. After a while, he was looking for Paul to convert Paul. Satan believes he can convert God. There is a law at work in him that makes him a lawless being who has no respect for God.
There is a purpose. We are not just saved for God to give us good land and clothes and other carnal things. The real endowment of a man is what is inside of him, and not what surrounds him. To fulfil God's purpose, you need the powers to get it done. God's purpose cannot be achieved without the material to get it done. The ingredient to get it done is His food. God knows how to feed one till abilities develop until one does that which is beyond comprehension. Milk prepares us to be fed. One who is a user of milk will not be skilful in the spirit and will not be counted in the realm of the invisible because milk is carnal (Heb. 5:13, 1 Cor. 3:1-2). God is joyful when people are leaving milk and can learn meat.
No one or nothing on earth can interpret the life of any human being because you never created them. All people know is how to take care of the body, but they should not tamper with the spiritual. No one had the blueprint of how to raise man. God's agenda is to raise men. From the beginning, man was born raised by God. And from that beginning, one spirit began to work against God that man should not be raised. This is because the raising of man is the bringing in of the judgement of the devil. So, spirits will delay that. A program of the end, which is to take out the earth and the heavens, was delayed. There should not have been lake of fire when Lucifer fell because the earth has not fulfilled its course. The earth should run its course because heaven and earth were created together. Satan was waiting for man and God too was waiting for man. The intention of God was that Satan and his angels should have been judged a long time ago. Lake of fire was not made for man but the devil (Matt. 25:41).
I am convinced that the time set would have come since. If Adam had finished the tree of life and ate the twelve manners of fruits, God would have closed the age and brought about the new world. The earth was already getting old six thousand years ago when man was formed. It was already getting old even before God opened it up. The earth is as old as heaven. No one can tell the time it was created. It is possible that the earth is about a hundred thousand years old. The issue of human beings and our civilization is not up to ten thousand years. Those who enjoyed the present are the angels. That is why this is not our world. The world of men is that which is to come. We were only given a place in the present to prove ourselves worthy for where we are supposed to land. The issue is not an issue of going to heaven.
"And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea." Revelation 21:1
You should begin to think of this, written in Revelation 21:1, now. People should begin to think about where their children would live eternally. They should begin to think the way God thinks. Righteousness is aligning one's self with how God thinks. The thought of God for you is for you to be in the future and not in the present. Anywhere God's thought is, it cannot be broken. God's thought is a stronger country than Nigeria. One has to be spiritual to get into God's country. One cannot come into God's eternal purpose except they are ready to eat food. So, the first meal is the meat of the word, which is Christ. The meat of the word is the revelation of Christ and there are tapes in the ministry that deals with that. The purpose of the meat of the word is to help us to eat strong meat.
"For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, [12] Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world…" Titus 2:11-12 The first import of God's grace is the denial of ungodliness. Ungodliness is something we have imbibed and is not easy to deny. Milk cannot deny in godliness; it is the meat of the word that would cause one to deny ungodliness. The teaching of Christ is a food that will cause one to deny ungodliness and worldly lusts. Worldly lust is not fornication; ungodliness is not stealing. There are those who do not steal and are not Christians. It is not in those things, but those things are aimed at in the curriculum of Christ. They are a standard of holiness higher than what the outside man can do. If not, there would not have been the need for the grace of God to appear. God knows that no one can do the denial of all these things He expects us to deny without Him vesting us with power to cause us to do them.
Ungodliness is a life carved out by Satan to stop men from giving attention to God. An ungodly person will not move to the next stage. Paul warned Timothy of some who would have the form of godliness but deny the power (2 Tim. 3:5). It means there is no way one can form a godly life without its power being present. If the power is not present, it will not be accepted. It will not be thorough because, in the end, a godly life without God's power will not look for what God wants you to look for. Power is needed to make a man who is world-less. If you are ungodly, you will not move to the next stage. What produces a godly being or a man who is worldless (he does not have the world anymore) is power. You cannot get the world out of a man; you need some power. Preachers are worldly and you cannot tell worldliness by look. There is a cloak of some kind of godliness, and is not godliness; it is man-made. So, God does not trust anything that is not stemming from His power.
"Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, [3] According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue…"2 Peter 1:2-3
Who is a godly man? A godly man is a man who is settled with God's standard. He is no longer at war with God's perimeters. He is ready for God. The word "godliness" is god-aligness. It means someone who is in line with God. He's got God's kind of arrangement. He is aligned to God. This is a man who they refer to as "man of God" in Timothy (1Tim. 6:11). You are not a man of God because you preach. A man of God is a man who is worldless. A man of God is he who is not Godless. There is something in you when they say you are God full. It means you have the power of God. Power of God is not being filled with the Holy Ghost. Power of God is a person. The power of God is a man.
"For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek." Romans 1:16 "But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; [24] But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God." 1 Corinthians 1:23-24
Denying the power of God is denying godliness. So, the power of God is Christ. Christ is God's godliness. So, preach Him until He is formed in a being and a man carries Him around. Then you say this man is now empowered of God- he's got God's power. This power is not for healing the sick. People who carry such power around have a reason, they have the power to reach God, to go to God and to get God. We will need this power in these last days. When the angel was talking to Daniel about kings that will come to earth and the one that will do evil and cause destruction to the uttermost, he said in that day that man will change the covenant (Dan. 11:24-32). We have people like that on earth now; kings on earth who will change covenant, tamper with laws, have no respect for the God of his fathers but rather seek after the god of forces. He will have no regard for God - this is an evil man. That time human beings will be weak but also in this time, "...they that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits." (Dan. 11:32). You need a godly being, because it is only a godly man that can do something. Right now, our problem is that there is a big bridge between God and Christians; the bridge is that the milk of the word is powerless. The preaching of Christ after new birth is actually the greatest gift to any man - he becomes powerful (empowered). To have power is not as we naturally think of power. Here power means access, ability to get some things done - things impossible. It is impossible to access God without Christ. All of the powers we have been using is the power of the infilling of the Holy Ghost.
"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." Acts 1:8
The power of the Holy Ghost is not Christ. The power received from the Holy Ghost has its limitations. There are spirits that operate above this power received. This does not mean evil spirits are higher than the Holy Ghost but they can be higher than the power Holy Ghost supply to you. It is good to also know that there are higher powers in the Holy Ghost. It is the same Holy Ghost that fills you that will empower you with Christ. Christ is another dimension of power.
There are powers in three levels: Name of the Father, Name of the Son and Name of the Holy Ghost. The Church is currently using the power of the Holy Ghost. After resurrection Jesus said to his disciples "..All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth." (Matt. 28:18). The church has been using earthly power, very little measure of it. It is high time for the church to gravitate and move into other heavenly powers. The next power is Christ. You cannot have the power of Christ like you have the Holy Ghost. You can get the power of the Holy Ghost at new birth. You don't need stature for it. But you need power to get that of Christ; you will need to learn because it is what turns you from a carnal man to a spiritual man.
A spiritual man is a powerful man; even though he may not heal the sick, there are things he is doing in the spirit. John the Baptist was not a healer but he was powerful (Luke 7:28). John had tremendous stature. It means John was raised by God. They took time to raise him. For the last two powers: Son and Father, you need to do a lot of work. It is not done in one day. Laying on of hands cannot get it done, it is sitting down to hear. Sitting down to hear, at times can be boring, at times may not be boring; but a man should know behind his mind that he is actually receiving power. And many pastors don't like this kind of job because at times offering may not come out of it. It takes mercy to stay with preaching. Myself and my wife preached till things started changing. The greatest fruit of this preaching is seeing people rise.
That word "home" has to do with the place we are ending in. There is a place we are ending in - that's our home,that's our abode. "In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you." John 14:2. This scripture is talking about God's abode and that is where we are going. The issue of godliness is the empowerment of God to go to God. The next power level cannot just be attained by the way of believing to receive the Holy Ghost but rather steady learning. Why? This is because the food of the soul is not the Holy Ghost. The food of the soul are two beings: Christ and the Father. In the Godhead, the feed are the Father and the Son. The food under the Holy Ghost jurisdiction is still Christ, but it is milk. It is what cometh from Christ breast; Holy Ghost is the one that oversees it. Holy Ghost is the feeder.
"Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into." 1 Peter 1:12
The gospel cannot be preached outside the Holy Ghost. Holy Ghost is the manager of the meals: the milk, meat and the strong meat. They are Holy Ghost meals. You cannot divide them without the input of the Holy Ghost. Holy Ghost has to teach you how to eat them. The Tripartite beings are spirits but spirits with different nature. They have different characteristics. Our Lord Jesus Christ is something in the spirit, our Father is another. Holy Ghost is another being. He can live in us without stature, but the rest of Them cannot. They can by the Holy Ghost dwell in us but this does not mean They are inside us. Holy Ghost is just representing Them but the intention of the Holy Ghost first is that Holy Ghost comes inside us to bring the rest of the Two.
A lot of believers have the power of the Holy Ghost but they do not have the power of God. The size of a man's congregation does not tell God's power, it is a different measurement entirely. It is in the spirit you measure power. To know someone who is powerful, it is determined by his undertaking in the invisible. It is his engagement in the realm of the spirit that makes him powerful. It is his warfare in the spirit. It is he who fights spirits.
"Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. [11] Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. [12] For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." Ephesians 6:10-12
A child cannot fight spirits. They won't bring you into warfare except you have gathered age. You must come to age before you go to war. In Israel, you have to be eighteen years old before you can go to war. That eighteen years in the spirit is some christ. Milk is from zero to twelve or thirteen years. At twelve years old Jesus changed gear. He went to Jerusalem, then He became Jesus. At 30, He had become another man. According to natural timing in the spirit, a thirteen year old can eat the meat of the word. When he is eighteen then he is able to make war. They will introduce him to warfare so he can grow fast. By the time he is close to thirty, he is already in charity. At thirty years old, They will begin to push him into everlasting life. A complete Christ is the power of God. So when God has made a man godly, he becomes a power on earth. He becomes like an embassy to God. He can easily reach God. He is a visa to God.
Psalm 1 is a transitional psalm, from meat to strong meat; and the blessing for a man in it is the collision with the perfect law of liberty.
"Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. [2] But his delight is in the law of the Lord ; and in his law doth he meditate day and night." Psalm 1:1-2
"But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. [23] 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: [24] For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. [25] 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." James 1:22-25
The blessing here is not just an ordinary blessing. It is the blessing embedded on the practice of the strong meat of the word. The strong meat of the word is what is referred to in James as the perfect law of liberty and that which is responsible for the saving of a soul.
Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls. James 1:21
The word of salvation or the engrafted word is the perfect law of liberty. You are first of all blessed with the law of liberty before you can now come into the perfect law of liberty. The Father and the Son are actually food throughout. They are our food. We will digest both beings. We eat Them. They are meat. Two of Them are meat; one is meat, the other is strong meat. But the intention of the Father from the onset is that man should eat Him. He wants men who can eat Him. All of them were in the same capacity in the eternal past; no One was lower than the other. In the beginning we have the Father, the word and the Holy Ghost. There was a distance/bridge between man and God. God was thinking of how man could eat Him and that was where the issue of our Lord Jesus Christ became born. He sent our Lord Jesus who became flesh, grew among us and moved into his christening; Jesus became Christ that He can now be embodied to be able to reach God or to eat Him. Christ also became a meal. Christ was a special bread prepared for to reach God. So Christ is the first meat to help make man to reach God. Christ is the bread of power to God. The power of God is bread and is a person.
Christ condescended under God. He was not Christ, He was God but He became Christ for our sake, so we can reach the Father. 1 Timothy 2:5 "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus..". So this same Christ right now is no longer just meat, He is also strong meat. The issue of meat is more associated with Him, that is His own allocation in the Godhead. So the One who can help man reach God is Christ. It is Jesus. It is Logos that has Christ embodied in Him. Right now when you see Jesus, He is everything about the allocation of the meal. He is a full grown being in the spirit. He is God's strong meat as a man but inside Him, the first allocation which He became is Christ. That is why everything must be through Him. No one could carry or saddle the responsibility of channeling or piercing or charting the course called Christ but Him. He was not born Christ. He was born to be Jesus who became Christ. Christ means stone but Jesus was not born a rock. He was born flesh, then grew to be Christos or stone. Then when He became a stone He lived for God and went beyond just being an ordinary stone and became precious cornerstone, and then died. Then He became the sure foundation. So He is everything that God wants man to be. This is good news. If Christ stands inside you, there are other things in Him. You will see His Christ, His everlasting man and His eternal man.
Jesus is an embodiment of laws. He (Christ) is the law of liberty now, then He embodied what His Father is, which is the perfect law of liberty. So Jesus Christ the Son of God is actually different law layers. We have the law of liberty, we have the perfect law of liberty. Inside the perfect law of liberty are different laws. There is a perfect law of liberty to its zenith perfection, that is, it can be zoomed so high. As law changes, you change. When there is a change of the law, there is a change of the priesthood. If God wants to change a being, He will just change the laws inside. Nebuchadnezzar's law was changed to that of an animal; suddenly, he began to grow fingers and grow feathers like an eagle and like a crawling beast. He went from from the palace to the jungle, and was eating things that beast eat. We can also see that immediately they changed the law, the house also changed.
"For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law." Hebrews 7:12
What constitutes the priesthood of Aaron was their law. But they brought another law after the power of an endless life, and when that law hit a man we could see the man living forever, ever fresh, not growing old, and He has been interceding since two thousand years ago with His body. If Christ comes into our midst, you will discover His flesh looks like mine. It is different, but you will not see it. It is a glorious body because a glorious body is being sustained by glorious laws. There are laws in glory; if those laws are in your soul, it will change your tabernacle. Our bodies currently are not the way they used to be. They are different now. Satan knows when the laws in your body are changing, he is seeing it. He knows you are taking out things from your body that he put there. If things can be taken from the soul, things can be taken from the body.
Laws are planted in the soul. If you are no longer angry as before, bad as before, vengeful as before, it means laws have left you. If laws have left you and the house of the law is the soul; and if it has been changed, it means the body also has been changed. Gradually you will see that the soul in the body will begin to wash the body. You will not see him (the soul) but he is washing the body, removing things in the body. There are those who wash the cup from the outside like the Pharisees but you wash the cup from the inside. So there is a law responsible for washing the in of the cup. The in of the cup are the laws actually holding the body. To actually make a man conquer laws, he needs power. That is why priests handle laws, enter into the tabernacle and offer. The purpose of offering/burning is to change laws.
Psalm 1 is actually describing a blessed man and the profitability of the blessed man is godliness. He will develop an appetite for the perfect law of liberty.
"Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. [2] But his delight is in the law of the Lord ; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. [3] And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper." Psalm 1:1-3
The end of a godly man is spelt out in verse three, that is the tree of life. His leaf does not wither, but bringeth forth his fruit in due season. He's got his own season. So, do not look at your natural season. The mistake we make is that we use carnal men's season with our season which is death. They have death season. At times pulpits preach carnal men season; pastors do this because they are afraid people will leave church. Our season is different but because we are not yet aware nor submissive to God's season, we are not going to see the powers of our season. We have the powers of our season when things happen according to our timing. Abraham could not have given birth at the age of seventy. He tried it, but God said no. He disobeyed the season; they doubted, they thought their bodies can't actually fruit because they did not know who they were dealing with. This is a lesson. God was training them with another season.
If you truly want to walk with God, He will deal with your climate because one of the greatest deficiencies is climate. Time and season is the power of God and it can be the power of the devil. One of the greatest tools of the devil is season; he has spread upon man a season where we will read things. Different times are under our season. Things that must happen at different seasons - this is iniquity. You will wonder why Psalm wil be talking about "season". David did not write this psalm as a child. Psalm 1 is an old psalm. It is not a psalm for a carnal man - it is a high psalm. It is not an ordinary song. It is the key to the rest of the psalms. It is actually a song of redemption. We quote it but do not know what it is talking about. In a nutshell, it is saying there is a canopy of season and time upon mankind and that is Satan's advantage over men. Satan created a life under an umbrella of timing and allowed men to move in it. He calibrated and divided time and time from time so that there is a time to sleep, time to wake up, time to eat and time to be hungry, time to work, time to relax and even time to die under it. All of these times are times of iniquity, none of them are good. And the purpose of this timing is to arrest something in us and to make us hasty. If anything is not falling in line according to this time, then we begin to be hasty. The reason for this calibration or division of time is to get something out of you - fear. If time to sleep has come and you are not sleeping, you begin to be afraid. There's even a time to be rich and when others are rich and you are not yet rich, we in the southern part of the country will say the enemy is doing us. Because of that, Satan also planted mediums. It is a calculation. Satan spread the heavens; he spread the canopy and demons work under it. They read that satanic arrangement of life and watch for the time you come under it. When you do, they will arrange someone who will further deepen you in darkness. And when you try to inquire about your problem, the oracle tells you someone is using your star which is a lie. There is no star of a family as Satan has lied to us. Everyone is a star from God. The original oracle is that there is no poor, no rich. What really matters is everlasting life.
"And I will set up shepherds over them which shall feed them: and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, saith the Lord." Jeremiah 23:4
You will come to a place where you are no longer fearing anything. You will not be afraid of the future. Do not fear to be poor nor to be rich; it's not your world. Don't even be greedy to be rich - it's not your world. You are neither rich nor poor according to earthly dimension. You are already rich. If you are not rich, you are not supposed to be in soul center. Soul Center is for rich people - those who are richer than those who drive cars. Lekki Soul Center is for those who are so rich that the earth cannot buy them. You cannot have true riches and local riches will not follow you. It will follow you, only that you will not consider them as anything. Very soon, people will begin to sell their riches looking for reality.
"And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper." Psalm 1:3
This word "prosper" is not a characteristic of meat. It is a characteristic of the strong meat. Prosperity is in strong meat. That word prosper is a strong meat word. "Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth." 3 John 1:2
The word "prosper'' is salvation. It is flourishing. It is not as we think prosperity to be. It is flourishing, prosperous, plenteous with life abundance, life manifestation, breaking forth of life, flow of water, flow of rivers, as the city is bringing forth waters. Another word for prosperity is "a source"; you become a source people drink from, people depend on you. This is prosperity.
"The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away. [5] Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. [6] For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish." Psalm 1:4-6
He calls the godly 'righteous'. So the opposite are the ungodly. There is the graduands of the godly (those who have finished the godly school) who are supposed to now come into being made the righteousness of God. They are the righteous - those that have been taught by Christ, certified by God and presented to the table of learning that is before God. It is called the realm of judgement. The ungodly cannot stand there. This judgement is a realm of adoption of the righteous. It is a place/realm of glory. God is saying He will not welcome the ungodly to judgement. This judgement that the ungodly cannot stand in is not retribution, it is not a penalty. It is rather communication of things God wants to give to the righteous. So God from time to time harvest men to judgement. It's an elevation, it is a call upward; it's a call to a pedestal where He will reason with you and commune with you to attain judgement. To bring you into judgement is to give you a place before Him. So He said the ungodly shall not stand there; he cannot even see it. The benefit of a godly/righteous man is that he will have access to God.
"But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, [23] To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect…" Hebrews 12:22-23
Not all christians have come here, he is talking to the Hebrew church. By new birth, you cannot come here. New birth does not depict journey. When you get born again, you don't move. New birth is not coming. Coming is different.
"Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth." 2 Timothy 3:7 "Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth." 1 Timothy 2:4
You don't come because you are born again. After you are born again, you now need to come, meaning you have to move - journey to the knowledge of the truth. Some people came to Mount Zion by reason of walk with God. There is something about God Almighty. The word "God" is Elohim in Hebrew. God is an erection of judgement. The phrase "Judge of all" means God can judge all spirits. Jesus was godly; later, God brought Him into judgement.
"The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand." John 3:35 Jesus too on earth grew as Christ. Just prior to the time he would start ministry, what They did for Him was to love Him, and gave Him all judgement. "For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son: [23] That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him." John 5:22-23 Jesus never started ministry but He entered into the Father's world. The world of God is that He is a judge. God is the judge of all, so He does not bring people to judgement anyhow. Jesus pleased the Father and the Father gave Him something. John said the Father loveth the Son and gave Him all things. This "All things" the Father gave are "all judgement".
"The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand. [36] He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him." John 3:35-36
It means those "All things" are everlasting life. Everlasting life is higher than Christ. So the benefit of the godly is judgement. Christ is life; Father is everlasting life - a life that can last. The word "life" does not refer to natural existence of a man. It is a practice of conversation in the spirit. It is then a man can be said to be alive. The life of the Father is more than just showing that you are alive. Christ is life, the Father is a life that lasts. It means that the life of Christ is an escape but can be murdered. A man can stop it. For example the people who walked with Paul were christ, they had learnt of Christ and walked in Christ. But someone like Demas who had the meat of the word departed from life. He murdered life in him. You can kill the life that you have. When christ is formed in you as a baby, you can murder him. You won't allow him find expression in you anymore.
"For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia." 2 Timothy 4:10
You can love this present world. When someone has one love for this present world, it will show. You will not know a man until you begin to teach Christ. He can be a fasting believer, just teach Christ, then you will see him escape because there is one thing he loves. Christ does not love this world, He is built against the world. He is built against ungodliness. This world is the maker of an ungodly man. So the answer and the antidote is the person of our Lord Jesus Christ. So Christ is life. It is good to have life but it is not enough. Move from Him to the Father.
"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." John 14:6
Jesus' intention is for us to get to the Father. Judgment means God's own verdict on everything or God's own sight on all matters. It is the elevation of all Elohim's or the secret that makes up Elohim. Those who have come to judgement have become the children of Elohim. Judgement is the supreme thought of the Most High. It is the Zenith light of the world of El – Elite. Judgement is the acquisition of thoughts or things that pertain to salvation. Judgement brings you into a place where you are saved. Salvation is the attainment to a realm of one who is more than corruption, attaining unto incorruptibility. The word "Elohim" refers to God. It is from the Chaldean tongue, and it has its different meaning. The Yorubas will call Elohim "the owner of heaven" (Olorun). The word "Elohim" in Hebrew is actually a judicial word that means "Judge". Anybody can be an Elohim, but there is only one Most High God or Most High Elohim. So, when we say the "Judge of all", it refers to the Most High God. The composition called God is made with materials of judgement. So, you know an Elohim by wisdom. Lucifer is the god (a form of Elohim) of this world, and that came by God seeing what Lucifer was able to do with this world. Elohim(s) deal with sights. They work on how a man comprehends. Elohim(s) wants you to see things the way they present them.
"God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods." Ps 82:1
Congregation of the mighty is the congregation of the righteousness (Ps. 1:5). This congregation is there for judgement. Before God qualifies you for judgment, He must be certain you are ready to hear Him. You cannot stand in this congregation if you are not ready to hear the words of Elohim. You cannot come to this point if you have not heard Christ. There is a dullness this world serves. It numbs us to Elohim and His judgment so that we would not be ripe to reap us into His own pedestal to hear Him converse with us. Elohim cannot condescend to our level. Jesus had done that. We are the ones that ought to rise to a point where we meet. So, the realm of judgement is called the congregation of the righteous.
"God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods." Ps 82:1
The standing of Elohim is His condescension. The best position of Elohim is Him seated. Jesus sat at the right hand of God. Elohim doesn't normally stand. Before he would make you sit, He will first stand or condescend. This is what is called resurrection. God stands to reveal Himself. The standing means He is ready to open up Himself to man. So when God is standing in the congregation of the righteous, it is to reveal His name. This world wants the declaration of God's name not to take place.
"For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings." Heb. 2:10
Glory is not just wearing a shining light. To beat the devil is to beat him in the game of being saved. This is when a man becomes wiser than Satan. God put Satan there on our path to tell how far we have journeyed with Him. Salvation and glory are inseparable. A glorious man is a saved man. Wisdom ordained for our glory is wisdom ordained for our salvation.
"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, 2:12 Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee." Heb. 2:11-12
Praise means entrance or door. So singing praise is making known the name of God or opening the door to glory. So Jesus declares the name unto His brethren by standing in their midst. Judgment is the teaching of things that will make a man stable in life or things that will not make a man go back to death—this is where a man will see the secrets to all matters. Nothing is hidden to a man in judgement. God is the judgment meat or the strong meat of the word.
"For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe." Heb. 5:13
A user of milk is unskillful.
"But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil." Heb. 5:14
These men with full age are godly men. They make up the congregation of the mighty. They are men with discernment or judgement. The whole book of Hebrew is strong meat. They need to teach a people strong meat to be saved. One needs to be judged into salvation. Every portion of the strong meat is judgement. When a man arrives at the junction of judgment, evil spirits know. There is a level of ignorance these evil spirits have worked in man, so they can tell when a man is coming into judgment. This is the ignorance of Elohim or judgment. Anti-Elohim spirits are anti-judgment spirits. They do not want a man to come into the knowledge of Elohim.
The High Priest is an Elohim. A High Priest is a walking Elohim. The only way to destroy the devil is by strong meat. The devil is a constitution of strong meat. Satan's meat is himself. To stop the light of the devil men are using to live, you must unjudge Satan. The day you understand Elohim, that is the day you begin to dethrone Satan. The things of Elohim sounds foolish; it is foolishness to the natural man. It is a judgment that will take down the covering cast (Satan). God is an embodiment of judgment. Christ is also a judgment, but the judgment is Elohim. If you are not a judge, the world to come will not be put under your subjection. Judgment is a realm of discernment. You can never be in judgment and not be sold out. Nothing of a man will remain when he comes into the world of judgment. There is a participation of all of a man in judgment.
"Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 1:29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls." Heb. 11: 28-29
Burden and yoke are responsibilities of judgment. You cannot rest until you have carried the responsibility of judgment. It is what Jesus became of the Father that we are being called to come and learn. The responsibility of every man is to find rest. There is a rest a man is given when he comes unto Christ, but there is another rest a man must find.
When a man develops full age, he develops the sense of responsibility to be responsive to the Father. Jesus learnt to be perfect. Eternal salvation was the rest that Jesus found (Heb 5:9). What Satan uses in bounding people is himself. He teaches people himself to keep men bound. He made sure he downloaded himself on earth. When you see high-minded men on earth, they have learnt of Satan.
God is Judgment. Judgment is the pillar of resurrection. This resurrection is not resurrection from the dead, but the resurrection of the dead. When you say that God is the Most High, it means that He is so raised. Jesus died on the cross, He was buried and was highly exalted (Phil. 2:9). There was a miracle of exaltation physically, but there was an inner job that was done. Jesus was not just given the body of resurrection physically; the soul of Jesus also came into the capacity of that resurrection. Jesus was raised before He sat on the throne. Jesus was raised in death. Jesus learnt all the lessons of resurrection when He was going down. Jesus didn't exalt himself, God did it. There must be experience before exaltation. God did not just position Jesus; He was positioned by His posture within.
Jesus obeyed judgment. It took judgment for Jesus to agree with the terms of the cup. If Jesus didn't have accurate judgment, He would have refused the cup. Jesus learnt obedience by the things He suffered (Heb. 5:8). When Jesus is giving judgment, He is raising us. Ressurection is a lesson. Jesus, while on earth, learnt it, and He became the resurrection and the life. God made judgment resurrection. Resurrection is an ancient matter. God was raised before there was even anything called death. Resurrection refers to a posture or an erection in the spirit better than death. God is so raised that anyone with that posture cannot depart from God. Death means a departure from God. Lucifer was made raised, but he corrupted his stature. Resurrection refers to layers of judgement. There is a way resurrected beings think. They think after the order of the height.
The meeker a man is, the higher he will go. Cherubims are the meekest amongst the angels though they are the highest. So when you hear that a man is highly raised, it means that the man is very low. A proud man is not learned. A meek man is someone who is saddled with glory and doesn't even know it. The resurrection of the dead is calibrated as judgment. This is what is called glory. So when you discuss about God and share things pertaining to God, you are touching judgment. Ressurection of the dead is beyond raising someone from the dead; it is being raised as the dead. This means that Lucifer falling was him "coming back to life". Adam and Eve were naked in Eden, but Satan woke them up, and suddenly, they realized they had been naked all this while. They also left where God kept them. Satan wants to take every man away from where God kept them. He knows what to do to bring man out of God's sight.
He who is raised is He who is resurrected. Therefore, to raise is to kit with judgement. When God is teaching humility and meekness, He is teaching a way to the height. All the heavens are realms of meekness. Only meek men can dwell there. The moment Lucifer violated the law of the realm he was, he was chased out as a fugitive. Your meeknesses are your heavenly planes. Don't play with it! Your meekness is also your raising. A man needs to be cut off from his life to take up a higher life. What God is protecting is meekness. What beautifies a soul with salvation is meekness (Ps.149:4).
Everything about God is judgment. God can be built in people. To have God is to have His judgment. To be skilful in judgment is to be skilful in using strong meat.
Every man should judge himself to a place where he dies completely. This is the place of oath - where you get to a point where you are lifeless or unuseful to Satan. Jesus is a dead man; He is only alive to God. Therefore, any man who will be useful to God cannot be useful to Satan. Jesus was raised dead to sin and alive to God. The realm of God is a realm of eternal judgment. Sin is also a resurrection on the other side.
