There is a song of those who have come out of the great tribulation and their robes were made white being washed in the blood of the Lamb (Rev. 7:12). The robes represent their souls. The white soul is a conversation of everlasting life that is born out of tribulation. However, there was a buildup of continuous breaking of the seal that led to the tribulation. The aftermath of the breaking of the seal is that a company of people attained a state of being made white. ‘White’ typifies the conversation of everlasting life. This is what Jesus refers to as the fields that are white and ready to harvest (John 4:31-35).

 

The harvest is a state of being ripe, a state of coming into the end of the season or process of God. The seals represent different weather conditions that condition the soul to arrive at a state. The phrase, “lift up your eyes”, connotes that what is to be harvested has stature or height (John 4:35). To lift up the eyes is to change one’s perception or understanding. Without lifting up the eyes, one would not be able to accurately interpret what is being seen. 

 

There is a company of those who are white and another company of the wicked. Another character of those who are made white is that they are wise (Dan. 12:10-12). We need to be white to understand the conversation of Eternal Life. The conversation of Eternal Life is red (Rev. 4:3), while the white ones are the wise ones. The wise virgins in the book of Revelation are the company of the whites. One of the promises to the churches in Revelation is to inherit the white stone (Rev. 2:17). The white stone is not a physical stone but an adornment for the soul. A man is made white when he has finished the work of everlasting life.

 

The devouring fire should carry out a work of purification until the soul attains the state of being made white or until the conversation of everlasting life is born. Hypocrites cannot endure this devouring fire (Isa. 33:14). Serving is purification (Heb. 12:28). When we serve, we do the will of God and are also being tried. There is a trial of the faith but there is a much higher trial of everlasting life. The trial in everlasting life is aimed at seeking out corruptible things in the soul that defile it. Amongst these are ‘sinners and hypocrites’.

 

We cannot draw near to God when we are hypocrites and sinners (Jam. 4:8). We may know the lingua, but without the conversation, we would only be hypocrites. God does not want us to be hypocrites. Conversation is born out of obedience to doctrine. God wants to draw nigh unto us, but our hands must be cleansed. These hands signify everlasting works and are the same thing that John refers to in 1 John 1:1, “...and our hands have handled…”. The season of handling is the season of conversation wherein one is holding and using it as a conversation or lifestyle. Sin deters the soul from using everlasting revelation and understanding. Hence, the need for cleansing.

 

Purification, as referred to in James 4:8, is not the same purification that occurs through the doctrine of Christ. There is a cleansing we undergo unto purification in Christ, which is described in 1 Peter 1:22, “Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently.” This purification is attained by using the commandment of faith unto the end of charity. However, the purification being referred to in James 4:8 is that explained in 1 John 3:1.

 

Although we are sons of God presently in a measure, our calling as sons of God cannot be fulfilled unless we first become white (1 John 3:1-2). A christ is a son of God, and so is a godly man (also known as a perfect man); however, this is not the full expectation of sonship that God has in store for us. There is a sonship after the order of the son of the living God, and there is a sonship after the order of the Only Begotten of the Father. 

 

Philippians 2:15-16 tells us that although we are sons of God and are therefore lights, there is a higher level of sonship we cannot come into without holding the word of life. The word of life is the word of everlasting life (1 John 1:2). There is a son that walks, and there is a son that runs. We walk in the season of Christ but in the season of everlasting life, we run. The difference between walking and running lies in the pace at which obedience is being carried out. In the season of everlasting life, the obedience pace must be faster than what we did in the season of Christ. 

 

In the season of Christ, the believer shines as light in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation; whereas, in everlasting life, when one has been purified, he would gain a testimony of being redeemed from the perverse nation, tongue, tribe and people (Rev. 5:9; Rev. 14:1,4). The fruit of everlasting life is that one who has it no longer possesses any trait of the nations of the earth in him.

 

The purification referred to in Daniel 12:10 is that which the Father bestows on a man. One must belong to the company of the white ones, those who are wise, to be able to understand the conversation of Eternal Life. There are things in us that hinder us from understanding, which we ought to be purified from. 

 

There is a season wherein tribulation will open to the body of Christ and the nations of the earth (Rev. 7:14). But beyond that, this tribulation experience can be induced through the speaking and unveiling of the Son of God from heaven. This will bring about shakings which will be tribulation to the soul, not necessarily the body. Jesus’ statement to Nicodemus in John 3:12 shows us that there are earthly speakings and heavenly speakings. Things heavenly are everlasting thoughts emanating from Mount Zion which are ordained to cleanse the hands of sinners in Zion and purify the hypocrites that have not yet embodied the things that soil the conversation from heaven.

 

There is a manner of speaking of He who speaks from heaven. What the Spirit was saying to the churches in Revelation 2 & 3 were the same things that the Son is speaking from heaven, which are everlasting conversations that should dovetail to works. Those works ought to generate conversations of the heavens within the seven churches. Overcoming is attached to these conversations; because without conversations, there can be no overcoming.

 

The economy of the tribulation to give rise to the white ones, will come on the earth. But it can also be administered to individuals, households or little groups of saints, through the speaking of the Son of God from heaven; that is, upon Zion (Heb 12:25). Like Jesus was clarifying to Nicodemus (John 3:12), the speaking of heavenly things is not just mere telling of the objects contained therein, but a conversation. This heavenly conversation is an everlasting conversation. The conversation that is born out of everlasting life has degrees just as there is an inheritance incorruptible, undefiled, and fades not away (1 Pet. 1:4). These define various grades of inheritance. We ought to journey into all these measures, moving from one conversation to another until we attain a state where we no longer fade away.

 

According to 1 Peter 1:4, our inheritance is reserved in heaven; and also, Phillippians 3:20 tells us that our conversation is in heaven. It therefore means that conversation is inheritance. Thus, we are inheriting a conversation that is not among flesh or men, but one delivered through Him who speaks from heaven. This is what James referred to as wisdom that is from above (Jam. 3:17). Hence, anyone who receives this inheritance/conversation is said to be wise (Jam. 3:13).

 

The conversation is a work that is fashioned in us through obedience, yieldedness, and responding to God. We must give ourselves to the training and teaching of everlasting life. In Colossians 3, Paul began to teach about the conversation of the ‘above’ -- everlasting conversations (Col. 3:1). Then he went further to analyse everlasting conversations when he began to give instructions to wives, husbands, children, parents, masters, and servants on how to live in a manner that is pleasing unto the Lord (Col. 3:18-25). Here, the focus is on the Lord and pleasing Him.

 

Most often when we serve, we still picture the person we are serving, not yet the Lord (Col. 3:22-24). What is responsible for such a mentality is ignorance, which is sin. This ignorance keeps us out of the way, and we need to be healed of it. In the season of everlasting life, whatever we do is taken into account. Heaven wants to see if we can birth conversation in our deeds. We often fall short in carrying out our deeds as unto the Lord, because we lack judgement and everlasting understanding; we are not yet seeing the Lord in everything. Seeing the Lord does not come to us by sheer will, a work needs to be done in the soul. We will see the Lord when we celebrate one another and carry out our duties as though He was the one receiving it physically.

 

We must abound in service till we arrive at a state where we are gladly doing it. We would advance from grumbling while serving to serving gladly. Serving gladly is a sign of increase in the life that the soul has trapped. It also shows that the will and pleasure of God is prospering in the heart. There is He that is speaking from heaven and His speaking is to communicate the conversation of everlasting life to us.

 

James 3:13 speaks of ‘meekness of wisdom’ which defines the conversation that characterises a soul that is being made white. This wisdom is so important as we cannot overcome the adversary if we are haughty. Meekness is one arsenal that Satan and evil spirits do not understand. The wisdom of meekness is wiser and stronger than the wisdom and strength of this world and the princes of this world. However, to man, it appears that one is disadvantaged, but not so to God. God does not measure advantage in terms of natural estates, but by how much advantage one has over evil spirits.

 

‘Bitter envy’ is iniquity (Jam. 3:14). A believer can have bitter envy against his brother in the season of everlasting life, or even against God because he does not understand the dealing of the Lord with him or the operations of the consuming fire around us. This is because he does not know that it is aimed at purifying us so we can become better. Satan can fill our minds with thoughts to make us bitter against one another. God wants to try us to see if we would be bitter against the brethren and even Him. He tried Joseph’s heart, concerning Potiphar’s wife, the chief butler whose dreams he interpreted and his brothers, whose actions could have provoked him to bitter envying. God used all those seasons to heal him of bitter envying.

 

Saviours must arise out of the hills of Zion (Obad. 1:21). This means that salvation must go forth from Zion. This salvation is everlasting conversations as that is the answer to the corruption that has ravaged the nations. Everlasting conversation is firstly to give God pleasure. The technology of God is that He must raise men of everlasting conversation who would be a pleasure to Him and be instrumental to bringing salvation to the nations. Jesus has done His work and He would not return to save the nations by Himself; the Church, the elect company is responsible for that (Mk. 13:26-27).

 

The 144000 who are sealed with the name of the Father must first arise so that they can harvest the nations. They are the trigger to the harvest. Men who bear the name of the living God, that is, the conversation of the living God, is what the nations of the earth are looking for. The seal of the living God is the conversation of the Father. There is a Kingdom of the Father (Lk. 12:32), which is His conversation. Praying for that Kingdom to come is calling for the conversation of the living God (Matt. 6:9-10). Men with the conversation of heaven will arise on the earth, and they will first give God pleasure by their conversation and will also answer the need of humanity. By their conversation, they will deliver creation from the bondage of corruption (Rom. 8:20-21).

 

God births conversation to give Him pleasure because the Husbandman is the first partaker (1 Tim. 6:6). Although He is to partake first, He is not selfish. While He is going to first partake of our conversation, the Zion brethren would also receive the succour of that conversation. The Father and then the brethren ought to partake of one’s conversation. The raising of our conversation is how God would close the age. At the end of the age, what Christ conversation could not do, the everlasting conversation would be able to do it. Everlasting conversation would convict the hearts of men from all nations; without it, all things would not be gathered unto God in one. 

 

How we would progress into Eternal Life is tied to the conversation of everlasting life we bear. The advancement of the body of Christ is tied to everlasting conversation. There is little we can do without us bearing everlasting conversation. We cannot reach the nations just by preaching to and fro or from denomination to denomination; doing so could take another 10,000 years. 

 

Pastoring a soul to become willing and for the soul to understand the doctrines of the Kingdom takes a lot of labour, patience and demonstrations. It takes a lot of effort to raise one soul to even learn Christ and embody Christ, before he can then be introduced to life everlasting. All that Jesus has died for must hear the message of salvation and this would require that a company of people birth a conversation, that would first give God pleasure and then help to show all men who will behold our conversations and be converted.

 

“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven” (Matt. 5:16). The good work here refers to everlasting conversation; this is how we are going to close the age. This work is not only to be done for the Husbandman who is the first partaker, but the brethren must also partake of it and those men who are outside must also partake of it. It is a conversation that is a redemptive tool for humanity. 

 

Our conversation is heavenly and it is being spoken to us by the Son (Heb 1:2). Because the Son is speaking to us continually, we must not trivialise and get familiar with the voice of the Son. The speaking of the Son means that He is bringing everlasting conversation down. The shaking that follows His speaking means tribulation (Heb. 12:25). That season of shaking is coming upon the whole earth, but it can also be initiated individually so that we can bear fruits. The Lord can initiate it upon a community, church or local assembly. 

 

The things that would remain after the shaking refer to things that can endure which is everlasting life (Heb. 12:27). The essence of tribulation is to remove the old conversations that would not let the soul receive enduring substances. Some of the opinions we hold high are mysterious to us and we do not even know how they came or entered our hearts. There are opinions we hold about parenting, ministry, family life and riches that must all be shaken. Most of our present conversations and thoughts are of inverted heavens and our former conversations are corrupt. The former conversations are formed by materials of fallen spirits (Eph. 4:22). 

 

When these experiences of shakings are being brought to us, we must not be offended or have bitter envying. The voice of the Son would shake things that we hold so dear, that we would think it unfair that it is being taken away, but it is to receive things that are better and enduring. It is not easy, but we must pay attention to God and must not let offences set into our hearts against the Word. That is why the process is to move our gaze to seek nothing but the Father. It is not easy to move a man's affection to things above, but it is possible (Col. 3:2). We must love the things above and not the things for the earth. This is possible through training and commandments so that the heart is brought into this experience of seeking things above alone. 

 

The voice of the shakings is committing something to us (Heb. 12:28). As the Son is speaking and His voice is shaking us, we are receiving a Kingdom and this is a process. By receiving a Kingdom, we are receiving a conversation that cannot be moved. It is a conversation that lives and abides, endures and remains, cannot be corrupted, defiled or faded away and it is incorruptible, all because it is coming from a voice that is heavenly and of the Son (1 Peter 1:4). This conversation is a kingdom because it reigns and it will bring forth a reign of life and a dominion that no other form of life or conversation can subjugate. 

 

The gene or DNA of the Kingdom is similar to what Daniel describes, when speaking of everlasting life, as a stone not cut with human hands (Dan. 2:45). The stone is to hit images that have been formed in us, which are different degrees of conversations of this world. 

 

As we begin to press into the everlasting conversation, we must be ready for shakings in the nation. The times that are coming are times of instability upon the nations of the earth because people are embodying conversations. God is going to shake the government of nations and institutions that have worked for men. Medical systems and educational systems that men have boasted of would be shaken. This is the day when the God of heaven would set up the Kingdom; the dominion of the everlasting kingdom would break every other dominion to pieces.

 

“Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend” (Prov. 27:17). The brother we are staying together with is supposed to sharpen us. We must not run away from him or her. Our charity is a tool of sharpening us. We must stop complaining about our brothers, spouses, children, bosses, authorities, even about this nation; we should instead give thanks. We should give thanks concerning everything including the political parties and the economic situation of the nation. We should give thanks, for this is the will of God for us.

 

The destiny of Nigeria is that men would come and learn righteousness in her. We cannot be complaining in and of the nation and expect righteousness to spring forth. We must thank God for Nigeria because we do not have famine and because we are not at war. We have many things to thank the Lord for in our nation. We should give thanks together for our nation everywhere and in every place. We must thank the Lord for the authority of the Spirit to bring forth the breakthrough we have into everlasting righteousness. We must also stop the habit of mocking the leaders of the nation and the situation of the nation. We should rather cultivate the habit of giving thanks. We should not join others to tear down the nation or join the trend of the world in insulting the leaders; we should rather spur each other up to thanksgiving.

 

Blessings!
