It is Not A Battle Of The Flesh

Yes, Gleanings from the Book of Galatians. Yesterday we saw that there are no gods. There is but one God,The Source, The one Being, from Whom all things.

The Churches in Galatia did service to so-called gods before their conversion, but now things had changed. Look at what the apostle says;

Galatians 4:9
But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage?

Observe carefully this statement “how turn ye again to weak and beggarly elements”

What are these weak and beggarly elements? The law and its ceremonies.

The apostle calls it weak and beggarly, not because the law is evil in itself, but because it does not have the power to offer life, righteousness, joy, peace and salvation to those observing it.(Gal. 3:21)

It is weak and beggarly, not in itself, but in giving life and justification to its observers.

Before the conversion of the Churches in Galatia, they were used to observing ceremonies, laws unto fictitious deities which had nothing to offer as it pertains life and righteousness.

Now that they had received Christ, The life and righteousness, and were expressly declared the way of salvation through Jesus, turning back to the law and its ceremonies was utter foolishness, blatant stupidity and a show of contempt for what the Lord has done.

That kind of persuasion is of the devil who desires men to fall back from honouring Christ; from looking to Christ for righteousness into the bondage of the law. We hear;

“Whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage”

The apostles never admonished any one to go back to keeping the law for righteousness after being delivered from that bondage. If there is a desire to fall back to the law the apostle says it is a desire to fall back into a life of bondage, where you live beggarly; you start doing everything to earn righteousness and favour from a thrice Holy God.

You live the position of an heir as a son – to begging as a servant. Those who don’t know who they are in Christ will kill you for disturbing their servant hood mentality when you preach the power of God’s grace to which he has already qualified us as sons.

There is only one reality we must observe, Christ! He is the substance of the covenant.
The reality of every blessing. He is the way the truth and the life. He has been slain for you and I, as we look to him daily, we are being Changed into the same image, from glory to glory as by the Spirit of the Lord.

See you tomorrow….

In an encounter with the Lord, I saw a leader in the will of God. I saw this person trying to lead others to their destinies in Christ.

But I saw that though he was doing it, he was doing it as though it was a thing of the flesh. He was using natural efforts but the hearts of these people were under a demonic power.

I saw a demon stand by as it exerted power over the hearts this people. But I heard the Lord ask this Leader to refrain and take a deeper spiritual route. I saw this leader as he withdrew and began addressing this demon, commanding these powers to be broken over this people.

Ephesians 2:2, 6:12
Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:…

…For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

And again;

James 4:7
Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

Then the Lord said, “My child, It is not a battle of the flesh, refrain from your vain attempts and spiritually address the enemy.

Command the prince of the air to let go my people, break the course of this world in the hearts of my remnant by the power of my Spirit.

What you see is beyond the physical, Pray my child! Do not listen to the voices of the people speaking against by counsel upon you. It is beyond what you hear, there is a power exerting authority over them.

But I have given you authority, arise and take your land. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.

Be resolute and determined for I AM with you. Do not be silent, command, I say command these powers to be broken and usher in the revival.”

You Will Once Again Be Sought After

Yes, Gleanings from the Book of Galatians. We saw in our last discussion that we are heirs of God, we are no longer servants in bondage to the law. God is our portion and Christ our all is everything and in everything.

Then the Apostle goes on to say,
Galatians 4:8
Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service unto them which by nature are no gods.

There was a time when the churches in Galatia were outside of Christ. In that state they knew not God and were slaves to Idols. They made service to them which by nature are no gods.

Observe this statement carefully, “them which by nature are no gods”

To be God is by nature. You cannot become God if you are not Him by nature. The same way you are born a woman by nature and cannot become a man, even so it is the same with being God.

Whatsoever God can do, his creation cannot do, they can only be done with his aid and permission, for there are no two sources to life. What do you mean pastor?

God as the uncreated is the only one with the nature of source. The only one with the nature of being. He is actually the only being. All creatures take there being from God.

Hence, God is the absolute sovereign of both the spiritual and physical universe. He is in absolute control of everything. (Please don’t write me a mail about this statement, a book will be out that goes into details when its time).

Outside of God, nothing exists, in reality they are no gods. To us who believe they are no gods.

1 Corinthians 8:6
But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.

Observe the statement “of whom are all things.”

There is a purpose for everything you are going through. There is a grace in you the Lord wants to see worked out. It could be perseverance, endurance, longsuffering, faith..

I am not saying you should accept evil, No! He allows the enemy to test you so you can make the grace in you manifest.

The grace of faith to which you say No to the trials, you reject them and stay with the knowledge that God is good and has already taken away all our sorrows on the cross, no matter how long the temptation stays.

The statement made above “of whom are all things” is very deep. Not everyone believes there is only one God of which from him all things, It takes a deeper revelation to accept this kind of truth. But without this knowledge, fear is inevitable, your conscience will never be stable as the next verse says;

1 Corinthians 8:7
Howbeit there is not in every man that knowledge: for some with conscience of the idol unto this hour eat it as a thing offered unto an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled.

By nature, there is one God who is even our father of lights to which from him everything.

No need to fear demons, there are no gods. They are not gods by nature. they are limited to only what God wills. No need to panic, we are today irreversibly blessed in Christ.

All things are working together for your good dear beloved. It may not look pleasing, but keep trusting, proclaiming your faith and looking up to our good God. He sure hears and help is coming your way.

See you tomorrow…

In an encounter with the Lord, I saw a Christian who was in God’s will and on God’s work. I saw people come to observe but I could not see them committing themselves to this work, it was as though this Christian was forsaken.

But I saw that after a period of time, this Child of God was highly sought after, many people began working for this Child of God. Even hardened hearts came to help establish this will of God as this believer kept on doing the work.

Isaiah 62:11-12
Behold, the LORD hath proclaimed unto the end of the world, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him. And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of the LORD: and thou shalt be called, Sought out, A city not forsaken.

Then the Lord said, “It may look lonely but do not be weary, for your salvation comes. It will not be like this always, I AM now rewarding you with my goodness.

I will fulfill my purpose upon you my self for I have separated you unto me, made you holy and redeemed you from the evil in the world.

I say to you my Child, I have not forsaken you, you will once again be sought after – for you are a city not forsaken.”

Blessings in Christ,

My Hands Are Opened Unto You

Fix your gaze upon the Lord. The escape route is to be satisfied with Jesus – for his person is all blessings.

Yes, Gleanings from the Book of Galatians. We have seen so far from the fourth Chapter of Galatians that at the fullness of time God sent forth his son to grant redemption from the law.

Now we are the sons of God by the adoption of faith. Then it says;

Galatians 4:7
Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.

An heir of God? This is incredible. We are sons of God with power, possessing God as our inheritance. This is unthinkable. This is actually the unsearchable riches.

The Lord is our portion and not things. I have being training my heart to stay on God as my everything for a long period of time now, and I can bet you, there is no greater peace than that.

It has soaked into my system that I am becoming more careless about the things of this world daily.

I see God as My Wife, My Children, My Ministry, My Body, My Life. I do not see death, I only see life and that life is God. I am satisfied with him as my all.

I have practiced seeing him as my everything thing for a long time now until I am now living in that place of perfect peace today. It may go off just a few minutes but I am becoming better at it daily.

It takes a lot of effort to give long hours to just picturing him in your heart as everything to life. It takes letting go of a lot of things to keep your mind stayed upon the Lord for perfect peace;

Isaiah 26:3
Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.

But if you have lost the desire to become something, the desire to earn anything outside of him, you keep your heart on him as your reality, you will sure experience him as the life and Peace – for we are truly heirs of God.

Practice this for just a few days and you will sure send me a victory mail.

We will continue tomorrow….

In an encounter with the Lord, I saw this Child of God who was to meet with someone very high in the government for favour. I saw that she actually felt small and unqualified but a way was made for her by someone to see this government official.

When she did, Instead of her getting the result of her fears, she was rather favoured and I saw a cheque was prepared to offer her a huge sum of money.

When I saw this vision, I was reminded of the story of queen Esther.

Esther 5:2-3
And it was so, when the king saw Esther the queen standing in the court, that she obtained favour in his sight: and the king held out to Esther the golden sceptre that was in his hand. So Esther drew near, and touched the top of the sceptre. Then said the king unto her, What wilt thou, queen Esther? and what is thy request? it shall be even given thee to the half of the kingdom.

Then the Lord said, ‘‘You have obtained favour in my sight, and I AM also giving you favour before Kings.

My hands are opened unto you my Child. Ask and I shall grant unto you – for it is your father’s pleasure to give you the kingdom. “

I AM Turning Again Your Captivity

The month of September is the month of Joy. You do not need to be strong before you can be joyful. Choose to be joyful and the strength will surface, for the joy of the Lord is our strength.

Yes, Gleanings from the book of Galatians. Yesterday we saw that the heir has no authority to rule until he grows to maturity. Hence, Paul says they were under the elements of this world Being governed until the time fully came for the son of man appeared for redemption;

Galatians 4:5
To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.

Observe carefully the above language, “To redeem them that were under the law”

It shows above there was a particular set of people that were under the law before Jesus came. They were under the administration of works salvation before Jesus arrived. Not everyone was redeemed from the law. Many Gentiles today are just busy fighting for what has never been given to them.

What the Gentiles have received is the adoption of sons. We have become the sons of God through Christ Jesus. We came in by faith, we live in by faith in Christ and not by works.

Even those that were under the law have been redeemed from the law. This is a very strong word.

If the law were to the advantage of the Christian, why redeem him from it?

Dear beloved, we have been delivered from the law to be married to Jesus so we can bear fruit to God.

Romans 7:6
But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.

We are delivered from the law, it killed those that were under it, held them captive to its perfect demands. If you go under it today you, will still be killed. The letter kills but the spirit gives life.

We have been delivered from the law that “that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter”

We are not to serve God through the law any longer but in the new Spirit we have received. We are to worship God in Spirit and truth for God is Spirit. Now we are to be led by the Spirit and not by the law.

The law was never made for a Christian, the law was made for unbelievers. Before Jesus came, no one was born again.

1 Timothy 1:9
Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,

When you are advocating for the law, it is either you are self righteous; deceiving yourself you are righteous by the few standards out of the 613 laws you have set for yourself.

The law was not made for the righteous.

Today we are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. Holy and beloved. We now walk by the Spirit and not like those who were not born of the Lord who were to be schooled by the law.

God was not living in men as he does today. Hence, they were given carnal commandments to be governed by.

They were natural men, hence, they were given what their natural senses could comprehend. hear what the apostle says;

Galatians 4:6
And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.

The Spirit of God on my inside calls out to God 24/7. My Spirit daily yearns for God and not for sin.

My flesh may be tempted but my Spirit cries out to God all day long.

This is true for all Christian. God wants to govern us from the inside and not by the law, this is called relationship.

This has been the mind of God since creation.

God living in a man. Where you longer live, but God at work in you;

2 Corinthians 6:16
And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

Where you don’t go for sin, not because God will kill you, but because his love for you overwhelms the sin. You love him because he is full of love for you. You don’t want to hurt him because he loves you exceedingly, not because he is holding a whip over you. You have everything in him, so why lust for anything?

I tell you the truth, what keeps us is the love of God and not a lifestyle of works. We are admonished to keep ourselves in the love of God and not in our works for therein lies the true constraining power.

2 Corinthians 5:14
For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:

See you tomorrow….

In an encounter with the Lord, I saw someone receive back a relationship he thought was lost. I saw the Lord restore this relationship and it was more glorious than it used to be, to the amazement of this believer. I saw a feast been made, people were gathered in the house of this Christian feasting.

Job 42:10-12
And the LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before. Then came there unto him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before, and did eat bread with him in his house: and they bemoaned him, and comforted him over all the evil that the LORD had brought upon him: every man also gave him a piece of money, and every one an earring of gold. So the LORD blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: for he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses.

Then the Lord” I am turning again your captivity, Your better days are here. I am giving you double for your confusion.

It is a moment of your comfort, the relationships you thought were dead, I AM opening up these doors and bringing back your loved ones and all your associates.

Do not be weary, and do not ask, how? But rather prepare for a feast, I AM restoring you wholly – your latter end is better than your beginning.

You will live the rest of your life in prosperity beyond what you have thought or known ever in your life.

Blessings in Christ,

Wear My Joy My Child

At this moment there is no need trying to observe whether the circumstances you are seeing have become the way they are because of some fault from you. No, never, bad things happen to good people.

God has never blessed anyone because he was doing all things right, God justifies the ungodly and this is called the power of his grace.

Yes, Gleanings from the Book of Galatians. Yesterday we rounded up on the third chapter, looking at our oneness in Christ as heirs of the same covenant through faith in Christ.

Now the the fourth Chapter opens up something wonderful again. It says;

Galatians 4:1
Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all;

The apostle gives a very good analogy here, as long as the heir is a child, there is no distinction between him and the servant. He does not have the capacity to govern even though he owns everything by reason of heirship.

Galatians 4:2
But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father.

Observe carefully the last statement, “until the time appointed by the father”

He is kept under tutors and governors until the father sees him fit or matured enough to possess his inheritance.

He is kept under this position by the wisdom of the father, where the father also decides when the time is right for transitioning.

Galatians 4:3
Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world:

Now here is the revelation, before the time appointed for Jesus to arrive on the scene fully came, God kept the Jewish nation under the law. But observe what Paul says was their condition;

“were in bondage under the elements of the world”

The elements of this world here speaks of the law and the curses that came with it to which when they were under, they subjected them to a life of bondage.

They couldn’t demonstrate authority over the powers of the age because they were rendered unqualified, babies under the system they were under. But something happened;

Galatians 4:4
But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,

When the fullness of the time came, God sent forth his son. Made of two things mentioned above;

First, he was made of a woman.

This is a very strong language but it is a direct fulfilment of prophecy in the third chapter of Genesis. Jesus was made of a woman, not made of a man. He is a seed of a woman and not in reality the seed of a man. He was never conceived through the normal natural means. The spotless seed of God was – made of a woman.

This seed of the woman was the one destined to crush the head of the serpent;

Genesis 3:15
And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

The serpent has bruised the heel of the son but he has now crushed the head of that old serpent. Triumphing over it by the cross to give us victory over the powers of darkness.

Secondly, he was made under the law.

A lot of people find it very difficult comprehending the teachings of Jesus and the teachings of grace as spare headed by Paul. In the hearts of some, even as I have heard them say, it is as though Paul contradicts the teachings of Jesus.

But this is false, Jesus was under a different economy. Jesus was under the law during his life time. He was made under it, until his death there was no new testament.

The new testament actually did not begin where we see it written in our Bibles “New Testament” No, never. The New Testament began when Jesus died and rose for our justification.

Luke 22:20
Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.

Observe carefully this statement above “This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.”

They are two key things here,

First, the new testament is IN the blood not outside the blood. The blood of Jesus was not shed in Mathew Chapter one….

Secondly, The new testament began after the shading of the blood of Jesus. We were born out of his death not before his death. “Which is shed for you”

Hence, since Jesus was made under the law, some of his teachings were to deal with the condition of those who were under the law.

Remember the ministry of the law was to offer condemnation and death, hence Jesus magnified the law and made it honourable by exalting its standards to destroy the pride of the religious people of his day.

This is why it is as though the apostle Paul contradicts some of the teachings of Jesus.

But if you can see by the Spirit of revelation, there is actually no contradiction. You observe the audience, the context and so on…..

I have gone into details on this in my forth coming book The Truth About The Gospel when it comes out, get a copy of it to be well established in these present truths.

You can keep a watch on our website for when this priceless resource will be out.

See you tomorrow….

In an encounter with the Lord, I saw someone who was determined to be joyful in the Lord despite her circumstances. It was tough but I saw this person instead of going for her petitions she was desiring that the Lord rather establish her heart in the joy of the Lord.

I Felt the Love of the father for her heart’s desire and I felt the Lord beckoning on her to keep up the desire…

Nehemiah 8:10
Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto our Lord: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the LORD is your strength.

Then the Lord said “I understand your greatest heart desire, it is not to see your needs met but it is to fulfil my purpose upon you with Joy. My dear one, go your way, eat and make merry.

Celebrate your victory, reach out to as many as you can demonstrating my love. For I have heard you. I have separated your days unto myself and made them holy unto your God.

Do not worry about anything nor give into what you seemingly call shame. I AM now on the scene for restoration. Wear my Joy my Child, for therein lies your strength.”
