Everlasting life is an upgraded life; it is the upgrade of the life of Christ with a perfect light. We still have some infirmities that the High Priest wants to deal with. One of the works iniquity did in us was to leave us with a forgetful frame. This means the breath and impartation that accompanies some words slip off, so we are unable to wrestle with some words and formations. We are thus unable to profit with those words; we are unable to bring forth a commensurate fruit. God wants to limit the work that the enemy did in us to hinder us from relating with reverence and godly fear.
The Lord also wants the house to get its attitude right because there is a heart posture that will prevent us from profiting with what is coming. We are currently falling into a state where we are at ease, but the Lord will want us to repent of that state. The consequence of not repenting is that we will not be able to perceive and experience a change. For as many that will fall short, the timing at which they will sit on the throne will be delayed, but those who do will be caught up with the timing at which God wants us to be seated on the throne.
The gospel truth is that a lot of times, when we congregate, we do not necessarily congregate in the spirit. One way you can know you have participated in the spirit is that some tangibility of understanding of what is being said will dawn on you; a darkness in your heart will be invaded. What the Lord is doing is amongst a company; who God wants to sit on the throne is a company. If a company cannot register their presence, God cannot bring down the company which Satan is. In the lives of individuals, spirits are already being cut down. But for that to happen corporately, a company has to register their presence. I believe the Lord wants us to address some loose ends in our day to day walk.
Our walk in the spirit needs to keep being aligned, and the way we can keep being aligned is if we can carry a repentant spirit. That is one of the first things the gospel of Christ wants to imprint on our souls. Whenever the spirit of repentance wains, the cry of mercy from our lips wains also. When the spirit is there, one can wake up with a song or a psalm. So for the Corinthian Church, they got to the place where a godly spirit has been cultured in them. This is how you know a believer is relating with the season of salvation.
When we do not have that godly spirit, we cannot keep the commandments of faith. We will not know when we become forgetful hearers, and things slip. God’s servant’s (Reverend Kayode Oyegoke) heart is able to respond to the face of our Lord Jesus because of the dealings upon him. There is a way we will relate with what is being said, and the tablets of our hearts will be helped, infirmities in our hearts will be dealt with to a place where we can relate with that face even when we leave meetings. The ministration of glory that comes upon God’s servant in our meetings is meant to actually go home with us. That is how we know we have age in the spirit – when one can take a portion of that cloud into the course of their activities of the day, and it becomes their meditation. Then we will be able to come to an understanding of it and bring that commandment into conversations.
One of the blessings upon us as a house is to have people that can instruct us. Paul told Timothy about scripture being an instruction in righteousness (2 Tim. 3:16). Some of us have come this far because we have profited with the instructions of the righteousness of faith that is in Christ, and it has its own virtue called carefulness (2 Cor. 7:11). The amplified version called that word “carefulness” as “earnestness, and authentic concern”. We had a measure of this in the season of Christ, and it informed a turning. But there is a higher (perfect) edition of this in the season of everlasting life.
The Holy Ghost can relate with us as babies, but the Lord wants to bring us to a place where that same Holy Ghost that is able to relate with us as babies can relate with us as the Eternal Spirit, without which we cannot sit on the throne. There are some instructions that when someone that has oversight over you is giving, and you discern that person or the Lord in that person, you will know that it is the Lord that is giving you that instruction. That is why when you fall short of carrying out that instruction the way you ought, you are due for chastening.
The man of God in 2Timothy 3 is talking about the man Christ, just like Timothy was in 1 Timothy 6:11. It talks about the man who has the formation of Christ – one to whom they are now measuring out everlasting words and commandments. For some of us, we have the opportunity to have a proxy with those whom the Lord can measure out instructions around everlasting righteousness through them. This borders on some things and activities of a day or in the course of ministering, or just your rapport with such a person. There is a measure of the righteous judgement of faith that is in Christ that we once used to respond to that same instruction, but because we are now in a season of perfection, things have changed. We are now in a season where God will expect a perfect work to be done in us.
“I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the first.” (Rev. 2:19). The phrase “your faith” in this scripture talks about the Most Holy faith because they are now in the season of everlasting life. It is also talking about the quality of life – how they were able to bring the judgements of love and the activity of the spirit of love was brought to bear. It may be the same conversations in the natural affairs with such people, whether people that they have natural oversight over or not that they were now using a higher life. Heaven expected that they use a higher life to respond to the same conversation. They are not going to create an activity or responsibility out of the earth, and it is still the same responsibility.
The churches in Revelation 2 and 3 had served Christ; they had been delivered from fears and brought to a place where they were accounted as being servants of God. For the Lord to rebuke some of them, it was because what He rebuked them concerning had come their way previously. “And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass...” (Rev. 2:18). The scripture above shows how the Lord was breaking down the elements of his Sonship. He was talking about how the churches are meant to sit under the judgements of the seven Spirits of God because those are the eyes of God. Those are the eyes that will now bring them into a perfect edition of what the Spirit of the Lord once did. He spoke about the Spirit of the Lord and broke the menorah – the spirit of wisdom and revelation, spirit of counsel and might, spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord (Isaiah 11:2).
The activities of those spirits are what informed the work in 2 Corinthians 7; that was what brought them to the place of godly sorrow. That is where they ground flesh somewhere. That is where they tame and arrest flesh. There is a perfect edition of the activity of the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the seven Spirits of God. They want to upgrade Christ to become a son of God. For this to happen, there is a higher activity of the spirit of counsel for example. Our daddy (Reverend Kayode Oyegoke) talked about how some of those seven Spirits built Christ, but there is now a further building in a season of glory where they will help Christ to acclimatize in the use of the good and perfect gift or light. This means the Spirit of the Lord is more of a training ground where they would now bring a perfect edition of it.
“And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.” (2 Peter 1:5-7). In the scripture, patience, knowledge, temperance, brotherly kindness, godliness, and charity have their editions in the Most Holy Place. That is why the warfare of the epistles was to raise Christ because when you can raise Christ, you can now furnish Him with a superior light. And with the superior light, He will bring forth a more perfect work that the Lord can count worthy of ultimately rewarding. “Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.” (Ps. 63:3). Your lovingkindness is better than brotherly kindness because the brotherly kindness in Christ is part of the economy of Christ. It is what makes Christ able to walk against the course of this world. It is what makes Christ be able to delight in the commandment of faith that sees him disobey the world increasingly until it becomes a new norm. So, there is a perfect edition.
It was said to the Hebrew church, “let us go on to perfection” (Hebrews 6:1). This means the church is meant to embrace the dealings of keeping faith with the instructions of everlasting righteousness that will come to you. The Lord will give a higher commandment than he once gave through his servants to us, and if we are using the judgement we previously used, we will fall short of it. We will not be able to respond to the Lord in them. One of the ways the enemy cheated the church is not being able to discern the place of fatherhood.
“I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the first.” (Rev. 2:19). The church cited in the scripture was already transacting with most holy things. The patience cited above is a patience that is after charity. There is a kind of patience that is in charity. That church was coming into a perfect edition of where they will be furnished unto every good work; unto a place where through their conversation, people can see what everlasting life looks like. They were now bringing a dealing, and a word to that church in Revelations 2 and that word was meant to measure out heights that would make them little children.
Looking at the conversation in Matthew 18:1-2, we can see that there is a child and there is a little child. Amongst all the churches in Revelations, the church that profited most with the appearance that had come their way like it is coming our way is the Philadelphian Church. That appearance had collected an age that flesh once measured out to their soul, and that is the essence of the doctrine. The goal of doctrine is to wean us and collect an age, a childishness in us (Is. 28:9). The doctrine of Christ will collect from us that age of flesh; the age of carnality, and so, to measure out the age of the divine man to that man, they have to collect age from him. The doctrine of the everlasting gospel is to collect and age and they do this by the giving of the judgements of that doctrine.
One of the areas through which the devil may want to come in will be the area of spiritual authority. We are expected to discern them again. Heaven doesn’t expect us to respond to their instructions using a former light or judgement. We are expected to do so in response to the light that is coming to us in this season, and when we do so, we bring pleasure to the Lord. If the Lord comes, he will say, “I know your works.” (Rev. 2: 8). This means that if we are erring in the place of submitting to spiritual authorities, he will come with rebuke just as he did to the churches in Revelations 2.
The demand of everlasting life is that we should relate with Jesus in people as if He is physically seated with us. Hypocrisy is one of the things that delay us from inheriting the incorruptible seed (1 Pet. 2:1). Hypocrisy has many shades; when it has been dealt with completely, one would be able to keep the commandments of charity like Christ was physically there. This is why it is important to discern Christ in the spirit so that we would relate with people like we would relate with Christ (2 Cor. 5:16). After this, everlasting judgement would be made available to upgrade that same conversation, thereby enabling us to relate with them as the Son of God because we would be in the season of His sayings. We would be living in repentance, always finding out how we are falling short of handling a conversation either in our response to brethren or spiritual authority.
The reason we keep falling short is because He is still invisible to us. The teachings are meant to bring down His fear upon our hearts. The seven Spirits of God peak at the spirit of the fear of the Lord, which is what prepares us to be able to fear God like Jesus did (Heb. 5:7). This fear is according the order of everlasting life. The teachings coming our way are to build an atmosphere that will enable us relate with men differently. One of the things God wanted to do in the children of Israel on Mount Sinai is to put His fear in them (Exo. 19:9). Therefore, how prosperous we are with the teachings can be seen in how much fear we have fetched with it. That fear is the empowerment that helps us to naturally relate with people like Christ would. It is also this fear that will change our conversation with those whom we have related to with the Christ nature to conversations of one who has the nature of the Son of God.
“Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. [5] And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.” (Matt. 18:4-5). The Lord will not have us be assuming about His expectations. One way we can reverence him is by being without assumptions regarding His expectations. The verse can be paraphrased as: “Whosoever can discern he who is the greatest amongst you receives Me” or “who so can discern somebody who is already in the season of everlasting life is someone who has acclimatized with the judgement of everlasting life”. By discerning Him, you are discerning His expectation. The Lord can come in a very ordinary way through anybody and He expects us to discern everybody, relating with them with a constrain. Everyone has to be discerned differently, and we have to align with Heaven’s expectation with them. There’s a pleasure we will measure out to God by doing this because it will help us limit sin and overcome some spirits that we have been unable to overcome in the past. For those that have been able to do this in the season of Christ, the Lord will measure out a higher commandment that should be kept with the same persons that have been earlier discerned.
Holy Ghost has been suggesting repentance to some of us in previous dispensations. However, a season has come whereby repentance is non-negotiable just like with the churches in Revelation. Refusal to live by the spirit of repentance in such a time comes with consequences (Rev. 2:5). This spirit was upon many of the Marys and those who were able to discern the Lord – those who ministered to him in his last years like the woman with an alabaster box (Matt. 26:6-13). These people were able to see how much the world had robbed them and how much life they had lost. They became desperate with a vehement desire and were able to get to a point where they enjoyed fellowship with the Lord Jesus. The Lord Jesus was able to tell those outside that fellowship that these people would go into the kingdom before them (Matt. 21:31). Such a fellowship was what tied the name of the woman with an alabaster box to the preaching of this gospel (Matt. 26:13).
The Lord wants to reap a priest (2 Corinths. 6:17). Before a priest can be raised, he must have embodied that life - the covenant of life and peace. By keeping faith with the chastening of the Lord, they would not have come to the place where they would drawback and become dull of hearing. The dealings of the Lord around them were to bring them to the place where they would reap them as priests so they can begin to hear things. God the Father will bring a dealing their way as they hear those things. In that spirit of repentance, what we are meant to do is to be subject; bring our will again, respond not just to the good and acceptable will but now to the perfect will by being subject to the Father of all spirits. This is so we can also bring everlasting life into our flesh or a more perfect edition of life than was measured out in the season of Christ, and thereby go unto perfection.
In the season of everlasting life, they will measure out increased strength or might (Eph. 6:10) because the spirit you will contend with when you want to bring everlasting life to your flesh is actually that class of spirit that can represent Satan; and it is called spiritual wickedness in high places. In that season, what is at stake is the divine nature: the incorruptible inheritance. Season of salvation is a season of days (2 Corinth. 6:1) That is why he said your salvation is nearer because it is no more years but days. That tells you that what God’s servant is saying is true. In the realm of the spirit, they count the number of days that are before us and at the end of that season, we should have partaken of His holiness.
As in Exo. 20:5, one of the reasons for the speaking over us now is God wants to avenge iniquity. He wants to judge a throne that is why He has to come with a Throne. That is why the speakings that are coming upon us are the speakings of a Throne. Why the Lord Jesus was rebuking them in the book of Revelations is that if a particular warfare is not accomplished over them, iniquity will catch up and take over those works that have been done in them. So iniquity wants all; everlasting life also wants all.
The church in Philadelphia profited with the appearance of God’s love like Paul did. This appearance was the Lord giving Himself. We are at the mercy of loving this appearance. For the Lord to love Paul or the Philadelphia church, they had prospered in repenting. They had responded to every appearance by turning and turning and turning. They had changed and changed and every change they were generating was bringing forth pleasure to God. God the Father was seeing another image of the Son in men. And this matters to God than we can imagine: to see sons coming into glory.
(Isa. 40:2)Whenever iniquity is mentioned, it is because it is the activity of a throne. And the only thing that limits a believer from capturing everything that heaven has or partaking in the holiness in the consecrated life fully is something a man is struggling to deny himself of. And this is why concerning the Philadelphia church, Jesus says concerning them “You have not denied my name” (Rev. 3:8b); meaning they have kept the commandments of His name.
The revelation of everlasting life is to empower us to deny something we have not previously denied. It’s a love, a program of iniquity. We come into denial by looking for what we did not previously look for - looking for the blessed hope (the Father) and the glorious appearing of the great God (Tit. 2:13). The only reason why we have not denied some things we are yet to deny is because of something else we are still being tempted to look for like the churches in the book of Revelation.
(2 Cor. 11:2) The works Jesus commended in the churches were works that were kept, while those He was rebuking were works that they failed to keep. Jealousy is a trait, it is one of the seals of both seasons; one that will help us keep the works that have been wrought in us. There is a gene that will be born in us that will instil jealousy in us. Works are conversations; they are perfect and more refined conversations. There is a conversation of jealousy in Christ and Everlasting Life that the Lord will have us hold, else we would not be able to keep the works as He wrought them in us. For many, there are reputations they have to surrender; there are images of ourselves we need to deny, as we defend His name.
God has seen potential lovers; Christs, and so He will show mercy and judge iniquity amidst us as a people. As we relate with this mercy, we will ultimately sit on the Throne. We have known the mercy of the Outer Court; we have known the mercy of the Holy Place; and we have come into knowing a portion of the mercy in the Most Holy Place. The Lord wants to bring us to the mercy of the Ark; this is where the Throne is positioned. But this place is reserved for those that love Him and keep His commandments. The commandments of God are not grievous. We will hold and keep these commandments until they become a delight. We need to live in repentance. We need to trust God to transact and come into the understanding of the teachings as they receive them each day and gradually gather clouds of fear in our hearts to be in agreement with God.
