Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 88

The Lord wants to bring us to a place where, even when we want to take thought for tomorrow or for things the world as branded as life, we would not know how to go about it! His tool for this is His Gospel, which- when well taught and received – can fashion us to become fellows of another life (Christ); even as we gain possession of God’s revealed righteousness (Col. 2:6-7, 2Cor. 5:21, Heb. 1:9).

The faith of the Son of God promises to see us through seasons when and where the shame cast by civilization against the gospel; even the path that leads to life, would become one of the things we are to overcome. It will empower us to despise such shame until we grow above it; until it means nothing to us; until our first spiritual inheritance (Christ) means much more to us that it once did (Rom. 1:16).

Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 86

To receive the life called God, even eternal life, a believer needs to be empowered against his former life or love called sin; and Christ is God’s joker for this. Seeking first the Kingdom and its righteousness includes using/investing our time and resources to know the mysteries of the Kingdom; the mystery of Christ, of the Father and of God so we can be free from the world, cease from serving sin and bring the weighty matters/conversations of Faith, Love and Mercy into our flesh.

Waiting remains a key to being properly raised; waiting until we die to the excitement to manifest or do exploits without being built within; waiting until casualties in life and ministry are grossly minimized; even until Christ is conceived and well developed in the womb of our souls (Jn. 6:28-29/Jn. 1:11-12, Eph. 3:17). Only by the doctrine of Christ, can we discern, deny and gradually disown such thoughts; even until we receive from heaven, a clean bill of divorce from this world (Eph. 4:20, 1Jn. 5:4).

Looking Inward and Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 79

There is no way our motive in life can be right, if – unlike God – our motivation in life isn’t to ultimately make known God’s power and glory. But as the eyes of our heart gets truly enlightened, we would begin a journey that should see us adventure the righteousness, peace and joy of God’s Kingdom; and, thereby, truly enjoy life – in its truest meaning.

To have a heart after God is to have a heart that fights other alternative plans for life – if God doesn’t show up; plans that would always compete with or limit us from truly looking up to God and not to men. Whenever the enlightenment of the gospel invades our hearts or journeys into the recesses of our hearts, we would begin to see ourselves, men and also see things differently.

Following Jesus includes following His footsteps that saw Him use: the warmth; imperfections; weaknesses; forwardness; wickedness and folly of different men to grow up spiritually and then divinely; such that He became the Christ and then the Son of God. The light in the epistles remains our only guarantee of freedom from the grip of money and from the influence of the arrangement of this world.

Whenever Christ is yet to become the source of our soul’s security, a vacuum of insecurity would exist; even such that would see our souls rather consider scenarios that are to our advantage or that won’t make us look vulnerable before others. But when a walk or an accord is selflessly born between parties against all odds; then, heaven (because of an activity of faith) would show up or manifest its presence in our hearts (Matt. 6:10, Lk. 18:8).

Looking Inward & Outward (with the goggle of Faith) – Part 75

The earlier He can succeed in doing; even by unveiling Christ to us, the earlier we can be built up to a place where the world can neither unlock our affections nor lead us by dumb idols. The revelation of Christ; even of godliness, is the first “gain” that every soul needs to attain; so it can be empowered to truly seek for God, while living as supernaturally as Christ did.
