Writing the Vision(22nd May, 2021)
Topic: Entering the Lord’s Death by Eating
Ministering: Pastor Emeka Egwuchukwu
Text: 1 Corinthians 3:22
Every season in the spirit demands a peculiar kind of response. The response required in the season of Christ is different from the response required in the season of everlasting life. Everlasting life has its peculiar kind of demands, which is a sense. If a man does not come into this sense of discerning the things that have to do with everlasting life, he may understand the doctrine of everlasting life but it may not yet have become an incense (a manner of life). There is no entrance without coming into the manner of life in which a season is demanding.
Messages are like winds, as such, they need to be captured in the season the Lord has prepared that they are spoken; for if they are not captured, they will slip (Heb. 2:1). There is every possibility that the kind of visitations we are having is the cause of the unrest happening in the world right now. Many may undermine the reality of these visitations to us as a people, but it is true because the Lord has sent angels to cross the airspace and such movements result in a rearrangement of the natural affairs.
Tongues and Interpretation (2)
“There is the casting out of devils in the air that the air might be prepared for the doctrine of God; that angels assigned for the end time might be sent for the last days. You are in the last days wherein the doctrine that will bring down the spirit of veils upon the nation and the people is come. It is a season of casting down veils that the meal meant for sons should arrive. There is height in the activating of angels, much more in your midst to declare the majestic things and to declare the coming of the Savior, that a generation of people would be raised unto Him, who will come into the predeterminate counsel of the Lord.”
Revelation 14:6
“And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people…”
The air over all nations is tight. The everlasting gospel is a commandment to all nations and evil spirits are aware of this, so they are agitated. Evil spirits do not know everything, but they can make speculations based on the happenings in the spirit. The spirits in the air want to fight the building of the spiritual temple, for their plan is to stop the building but it is good to understand that they cannot stop God.
The height of the ministration this week is when the servant of God said that God has the possessions of death with Him.
Tongues and Interpretation (3)
“The death I possess is a death that would make man totally dead to sin and iniquity when given to him. It is a death that would make you alive to Me and live only for Me; it is a death that I possess and is locked up in the box of the Most Holy. It is a death that can kill death. For the adversary had bragged with his death, but I have a death that I serve and a death that I am.
Ark death! Ark death, death of the dead wood. Wood that I can overlay with gold and can carry My reward and glory. I need to wait until you are fully dead and you have taken all that I serve, which is the resurrection of the dead. There is a sense of death I teach and administer and that I am. When a man takes it, he partakes of the death required to carry My glory. I had to wait for My Son to fully die before My glory came. You need to partake of My death and awake in Me.”
God is death and you need the death that God is to overcome the death that is in the fallen Cherub – Lucifer. There is something about death that made the two witnesses – Moses and Elijah come to Jesus, and the basis was about the kind of death He should die (Luke 9:30-31). They came to administer strength to Him to go through the death required of Him. We also must be prepared to experience the manner of death that God serves.
1 Corinthians 3:22
“Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours…”
This is the season where the understanding of this scripture is being brought to us. We need to have sense to be able to read and understand the scriptures. Paul is a gift and there is something God wrought in him by the Spirit. That Spirit did not rest until a manner of life had been worked on him. Paul had to experience a death to become the man God desired that he become.
1 Corinthians 13:12
“For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.”
There is how we are known in the spirit. We cannot know how we are known, until we know in full. There is a way we know ‘now’ and there is how we would know ‘then’. ‘Then’ (1 Cor. 13:12) is the realm of God and is also the realm of death. No man can enter into that realm without being dead. The realm of death is the realm of the unknown, which man is not in control of. It is a sphere we do not know and that is why we do not want to go there.
Death is a realm of the unknown. This is because to come into this realm, there are waters (realms in the spirit) we are to travel through. These waters will exhaust our strength to then carry us.
Paul came into the death that was measured out for him. Anyone that rejects the death of God would never be known as he is known. Peter was also a man that experienced the death that is in Christ and the death that is in God. There are deaths that we must agree to so that we would not depart from God, like Demas (2 Tim. 4:10).
Just as God is death, Christ is also death (a small death). We need to experience the death of Christ to be buried with Him (Rom. 6:4); for no man can be buried alive. We do not experience this death of Christ at the New Birth; we experience this death and burial by baptism through doctrine (Rom. 6:4). We may experience the physical water baptism, but we must also experience the burial into His death in our souls.
Christ is the resurrection from the dead. Death and resurrection are the same; they are two sides of a coin. On our side, it is death but on God's side, it is resurrection.
Romans 6:4
“Therefore we are buried with Him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.”
Christ is the resurrection from the dead. Walking in the newness of life is not possible without being buried into His death. Christ is the small death but there is also the great death (God). The burial into the death of Christ separates us from this world. But there is also a negative death that would separate us from Christ and join us to this world. We all have an affinity to this world as we were dead before our spirits were regenerated. However, the essence of the Church is to raise us into life.
There are things that belong to the 'now' and there are things of 'then'. Things present speak of Christ's things. The life that ‘now is’ speaks of the life of Christ (1 Cor. 3:22). Some people are already practicing the life of the earth of the world to come. We cannot come into the practice of the life of the heaven of the world to come if we do not first partake of the life that is in Christ. For us to partake of the heaven of the world to come, we must die the great death.
Anyone that would partake of the heaven of the world to come has to die the great death which is the resurrection of the dead. There is the two-edged sword that Christ is; but there is also a sword (God) that is greater than the two-edged sword which is used to sever us from iniquity (Heb. 4:12). Some people are being granted a journey in the spirit to experience the prescribed death so that they would inherit the reward.
Revelation 11:18
And the nations were angry, and Thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that Thou shouldest give reward unto Thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear Thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.
The servants (small and great) in this scripture are the servants of the two deaths – Christ and God. God has brought us to the season which is the time of the dead. Every part of the tabernacle is death tampered from one level of death to another. Death takes place at the Brazen Altar but the Golden Altar of incense depicts a higher death. The death level experienced at the Golden Altar of incense is higher than that experienced at the Outer Court. The Most Holy Place is the realm of the highest death. The essence of the tabernacle is to celebrate the manner of death needed to come to God.
There is the bosom of Christ, just as there is Abraham's bosom (Luke 16:22). All those who do not attain the deaths in the days of their flesh would go to Christ's bosom. Those in the bosom of Christ have the knowledge that there is a realm of God though they may not be able to come to Him.
In the realm of the heavenlies, they have meetings and they also pray. Isaiah attended the church of the Seraphims and he never remained the same (Isa. 6). The realm where God is cannot be approached by anyone – it takes a level of walk to come to the realm of God. Some men on earth are actually journeying there as a result of obedience. By reason of their walk, they are numbered in heaven. There are people who would be able to approach the highest death (God). The kind of death we are required to die is a glorious death.
It is by death that we pass through the various realms of the tabernacles. The Most Holy Place is the final place of death where we rest. At this point, the labour of man ends and then God takes over. Except the Spirit broods on us, we would not understand the natural definitions that show heavenly things.
The natural land is a representation of who God is, for He is constant. Anything that goes into the earth has to decompose. Just like the natural land takes all that goes into it, anyone that experiences the great death would be taken by the God-land. When God takes, He begins to process. There are various measures of processing (of souls) that take place in the tabernacle – some are processed to become precious stones, metals, coal or wood (1 Cor. 3:12). What we end up becoming is dependent on our desire and our willingness to endure the required level of processing.
There are precious stones like beryl or carbuncle that constitute the foundation of the city (Rev. 21:19). These precious stones had all been processed – they had passed through death. There are spices needed to preserve the body of the dead. The women that brought spices for the body of Jesus had a sense of resurrection (Mark 16:1). Spices such as aloes, cassia and myrrh are all spices of death (Ps. 45:8); they are ministrations that prepare us for death. There are also spices they brought to prepare the body for resurrection.
The anointing oil can only be applied on us when we are brought into the most holy of the great death. The most holy oil that is consecrated will only come upon a man that is completely dead. Moses was already dead, that was why he could take the oil of the Most Holy; for it is only a dead man that can enter the Most Holy. The spices communicate fear to know how to approach God. The sons of Aaron died when they entered into the tabernacle because they did not have the commensurate death to be in the Holy Place (Lev. 10:1-7). If they had been prepared by the spices, they would have had fear and sense on how to conduct themselves within the tabernacle.
John's gospel is different from others: it spoke about how the Son of God practiced everlasting life. The flesh and blood Jesus referred to was not His physical flesh (John 6:53) but the veil that precedes the Most Holy, which we have to eat to enter (Heb. 10:20). There is always something to eat in every compartment of the tabernacle. There is a violation of the law when we do not eat. We are required to eat the veil. We are required to eat all that is given to us to enter the Most Holy. Moses was angry with the sons of Aaron because they did not eat all (Lev. 10:16-18).
We must eat Christ and all of Him, for if we do not eat Christ well, we will not be able to focus on our journey to God. If we do not eat Christ well, it will show in our character and life. But if we eat Christ well, we will think well. The energy for entrance into the Most Holy is going to come from what we eat and drink. If we eat Christ well, we will see well and be stable; but those who do not eat well cannot see clearly.
The last veil is a meal. Eating this meal would confer strength to enter into the Most Holy. In this season, we would be enabled to eat all that the Lord serves. We must eat everything on the table served to us, for this is how we show the Lord's death (1 Cor. 11:26). If we refuse to eat, we are refusing the Lord's death. All the meals of the tabernacle are for us to eat and we would eat them well. Amen!
