ABIDING IN CHRIST (John 15:7)

-


Jesus to many, is still a story (fictitious tale), a veil yet to be uncovered and understood, else, talking about abiding in Him will be another story heading towards confusion, entangled in obscurity.


For clarity, when I say Jesus, I'm not just talking about a name written in the scriptures, with inks and prints. I mean an embodiment of a believe system the "logos" saddled with the responsibility of salvation for those who are chosen; yes, the chosen.


 (John 6:44 “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them, and I will raise them up at the last day.)


To abide with Christ means to be one with Him; accepting His life, death and resurrection. Now, this is where the story begins for understanding. (Life, Death and Resurrection)


The life and the death of Christ is a vast topic unwrapped through eternity; for Christ began before the the foundation of the Earth, also was He slain before the foundation of the same(John 1:1-3, Rev 13:8 please read for clarity). 


Only His resurrection which is forever began after His pilgrimage on earth.


 Now, because of the nature of His life and death, to abide in Him requires a baptism and not just of water but of the spirit in order to be able to catch up at least with the essence of His sacrifice as a lamb, which will further be revealed to us, of His resurrection, and this is the hope of every believer, "life after death".


It's already clumsy to want to abide in a being one has no fore knowledge about or an encounter with, just like Saul who was converted contrary to his believe system.


To be one with Chris, His Life, Death and Resurrection through an encounter, must be a conscious truth that governs one's existence.


Abiding in Christ is not debatable, it is a reality that must be conceived, if we must do business with the souls He came to die for. But unfortunately, many are involved in a fraudulent business, attempting to seduce away the agenda of Christ into darkness all in the name of the pulpit.


Here i drop my pen, but without further ado,

What do you know about the Life, the Death and the Resurrection of Christ as a Christian that you are?

THE OLD'S BURDEN

The Old's Burden (Exodus 14:12) Every man who chooses to remain in the past has a huge price to pay, which is regression. For this reason, I must say that every believer must break free from the cycle of modern-day temptation to cling to sinful habits, toxic environments, and relationships, despite the knowledge of their destructive consequences. Looking at this from a spiritual perspective, the journey of the Israelites from Egypt to freedom defines true transformation. Here is my point: this transformation was never a reality without the struggle to break free from the OLD'S BURDEN, which was a major driving force behind the new life God had planned. The reason for the struggle to break free was the comfort of the old, which was actually a burden on the future. (Exodus 14:12) “We said, 'Leave us alone! Let us be slaves to the Egyptians. It's better to be a slave in Egypt than a corpse in the wilderness!'” From this excerpt, what the Israelites refused to perceive ...

A SEEING EYES PART 2

  Matthew 6:22 "If therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light"  Man is a living being whose existence is engineered spiritually. Gen 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.  It is this breath that carries the vision of a man. Therefore, a man cannot exist independent of the spirit (breath) office God. The vision of a man is so crucial that it decides almost every aspect of his life. Losing one's vision means losing one's purpose. We shall be looking into how a man's vision determines his reach i.e how far he goes.  Let's look at Samson as a case study, a very powerful man who didn't go far despite his potentials and abilities in God. He was mandated to be the deliverer of Israel from the dominion of the philistines who oppressed the Israelites; but he went about that mandate depending on his strength. (Self) Quickly, it was only rec...

WHAT NOBODY HAS TOLD YOU ABOUT PRAYER!

This knowledge about prayer will set you in fire. The Most important understanding we need to have about prayer is that it's primary purpose is for reference and access circumventing the haste to communicate our needs. “...For your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him.(Matt 6:8) We oftentimes prioritize communion above acceptance. Then we neglect the most important; access to the secrets. Come to think of it, You don't communicate with a being you have no access to; the reason Jesus demanded that we shut the door, for the purpose of access to the secret place where the Lord dwells (Matt 6:6) check that scripture again. It is when you gain access, you then know what to communicate most importantly how(communion). Have you realized that if God dwells in the secret place, how then do we know what He has in stock without an access to this place? Therefore, our referential integrity while praying is thanksgiving, this is the most important; to adore and refere...
