Hello everyone, I am sure we have been enjoying this series. By the Grace of God, we will have just two more broadcasts after today and this series will end. We are still looking at HOW TO FLOW IN THE SUPERNATURALS. Today, I am to talk about WALKING IN LOVE.
Love is the nature of God that finds expression in and through us as we remain in FELLOWSHIP (GRK.: KOINONIA) WITH THE SPIRIT.
Paul talks about fellowship with the Spirit in 2 Cor. 13:14. LOVE is not one of the fruits of the spirit, LOVE IS THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT. There is only one fruit of the spirit out of which every other derive their origin. Gal. 5:22-23. 1 Cor. 13(Amp. Version). It is also noteworthy that LOVE IS NOT THE FRUIT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT BUT THE FRUIT OF THE RECREATED HUMAN SPIRIT. We are the ones that bear the fruit not the Holy Spirit. The branches bears the fruits not the vine. No fellowship with the Spirit, no fruit. No abiding in in the Vine, no fruit. John 15:4-10.
I have a challenge with preachers that stresses the independence of believers from God. Why will you receive Eternal Life and all you stress is 'your behaviour cannot make you to lose Eternal Life because it is a gift and the Giver is Eternal'? It is babies in the Kingdom that needs to be told such. As you mature in God you will discover that Eternal Life functions within the boundaries of God's Will and if you are outside of it, you are on your own. They've used Greek and Hebrew to explain and make the Bible say what he didn't say. They only quote the Writers of the Bible that support their beliefs. The teachings of Jesus are irrelevant to them because He taught Spiritually Dead People. They claim to follow and believe Paul's writing yet, the more some of us read Paul, the more we discovered that Paul didn't teach some of what they said he taught.
Listen to me, every deposit of God and Heavenly Resources to humanity are meant for the furtherance of His Kingdom on Earth and for humanity to become like Him. The challenge with the body of Christ is that we major on the minor; WE HAVE MADE THINGS THAT SHOULD BE A MEANS TO AN END BECOME AN END IN THEMSELVES.
If you don't know, salvation is not an end in itself. Eternal Life is not an end in itself. The death of Jesus on the Cross and the blessings and empowerments that accompanied it are not an end. All of these are things must be studied within the context and FRAME OF REFERENCE OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD. The Kingdom of God is bigger than the Church, bigger than this Earth, bigger than the Works of the Cross. All these gospels that we have been preaching so far CANNOT BRING JESUS BACK. Jesus will delay His coming for as long as the right things are not in place. I'm sorry, let me get back to today's subject. I will still handle this thing maybe in September.
Rom 5:5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
Yes, the love of God is in our spirits but, it must take tangible reality in our Soulish Realm and also in the Natural. Listen, the New Creation Realities Teaching is like writing an abstract to a Project. The fact that many things about us ARE ALREADY DONE AS FAR AS GOD IS CONCERN DOESN'T MEAN YOU FOLD YOUR HAND AND DO NOTHING.
Any Gospel that put the whole of the responsibility of a believer on God is a fake Gospel. From the beginning till now, as far as this planet is concerned, decisions and actions have always been MAN COOPERATING WITH GOD OR THE DEVIL. The death of the Cross didn't change that and neither did it change God. It didn't produce a better God than the Old Testament. The Will of God remains the same from Eternity till now. The New Testament only make us to see God clearly and relate with Him more intimately. The difference between in the Old Testament and New Testament can be likened to trying to view a white shirt under a blue light compared to viewing the same shirt under the broad daylight. Many errors we have nowadays in the Body of Christ is because we don't study TRUTHS IN THE CONTEXT OF THE KINGDOM.
This thing is boiling in me like a radical inferno. Heaven's resources are given to you to draw you closer to God and make you His ambassador in this Earthly realm. We need to know the 'WHYS OF GOD'S GIFTS' so as to avoid abuse. One of the reasons for the gift of Righteousness is Fellowship. We quote the Parable of the Prodigal Son and we emphasize the love of the Father forgetting that it was because the son returned that forgiveness was granted to him and his position was restored.
Abide in Me that's what Jesus says. You can't represent the King and kingdom that you know little or nothing about His Character, values and goals. The love of God in your spirit can forever remain a prisoner if you are not in fellowship with Him. The potential of the Holy Spirit in believers are the same but, His activities and expression in and through us differs. Why? Koinonia. The love of God must find expression in our day to day life.
The Corinthians Church is a Church that operated in the supernaturals more than most of the Churches Paul pastored. He said that they came behind in no gift. 1 Cor. 1:7/ But, they were full of character flaws. They have been categorized as the most Carnal Church Paul pioneered. If you study 1 Cor. 12-14, you will understand where Paul's emphasis is, his emphasis is CHARACTER; LOVE MUST BE YOUR MOTIVATION. Read and study 1 Cor. 13(from the Amplified Version). I can't count how many times I have confessed and prayed that scripture before. The Grace of God doesn't undermine the reward of spiritual maturity. The love of God that has been shed abroad in our hearts must find expression in everything we do. Unforgiveness can hinder your faith from producing results. Mk. 11:25. God is Love and Love is God. 1 John 4:7-16/ Living in sin will short circuit anyone as he/she seeks to move in the supernaturals. We must be strict on ourselves these days and times because God is pouring His abilities upon us and measuring ranks to us. Anyone who seeks to flow in the supernaturals must have developed the God kind of Character strong enough to hold out in the face of challenges and temptations that accompanies Power Demonstration. Many of the heroes that have gone ahead of them have fallen because there is an aspect of their lives that wasn't brought under the governing of the God of Zion. Shalom. Tomorrow is another day.
