REALITIES OF SPIRITUAL INSIGHT.

We consider and look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are visible are temporal but the things that are invisible are deathless and everlasting. For we walk by faith and not by sight or appearance…………………….Man is a triune being as he possesses spirit, body and soul. The spirit of man is needed by man to connect with the spirit realm while the body of man is needed by him to connect with the physical/earthly realm. The soul is needed both in the spirit and physical realm. Without the soul, the body and the spirit are useless. It is important to state here clearly that the spirit of a man has its own eyes while the body of a man has its own eyes too. The spiritual eyes allow us to see into the Spiritual realm while the bodily eyes helps us to see into the physical realm. The Spiritual eyes helps us to see clearly what God has granted freely unto us via redemption from the mirror of God`s word while the physical/bodily eyes helps us to see what is being made manifest around us and in our environment. It is with our physical eyes that we can see all that God created in tangible and concrete forms e.g birds, lakes, seas, oceans, other people etc. It is an established fact that it is the Spiritual realm that controls the physical realm. This means that the spiritual realities control and are responsible for physical realities. Spiritual realities are controlled by God and the devil and so the physical realities that we see today are the manifestations of the works of light and darkness as God is responsible for light and the devil is responsible for darkness. As God`s children/heirs of Salvation, we are expected to control what we see with our Spiritual eyes/inner eyes as they act as the gate-way to our physical and earthly realities. If you want your Spiritual eyes to see well, your Spiritual eyes must daily and consistently look into the perfect law of liberty i.e the Holy Bible which brings freedom to the physical eyes to see well in the physical/earthly realm. In the perfect law of liberty, there is fruitfulness, rest, prosperity, joy, abundance, breakthroughs, peace and other great things. When we carefully and correctly picture these things with our Spiritual eyes from the mirror of God`s word which is the perfect law of liberty…sooner or later, they will manifest in the physical and earthly realm for our physical eyes to see. According to the prophetic scripture for today, the things that are seen by the Spiritual/inner eyes are deathless and everlasting. If only you can see clearly what is written concerning you in the perfect law of liberty and not what is surrounding /happening to you at present, what is happening around/to you will soon give way to what is written about you which is captured by you with your Spiritual eyes. In the midst of chaos, emptiness, disorderliness, ugliness and hopelessness in the beginning of beginnings…God saw a haven of beauty, perfection and order as regards the earth and what He saw became a reality. When man fell to disobedience and subsequently was disconnected from God, God saw the glorious picture of man being restored and reconciled back to Him and what He saw has become a reality today. If you are indeed a child of God, you can begin to see things exactly the way God sees them. I charge you today to see possibilities in the midst of impossibilities. I charge you today to see fruitfulness in the face of barrenness. I implore you today to see abundance in the face of scarcity because whatever you can see with your invisible eyes are bound to be a reality in a matter of time. Shalom!

ETERNAL WEIGHT OF GLORY.

For our light, momentary afflictions is ever more and more abundantly preparing and producing and achieving for us an everlasting weight of glory…………………….Christianity is a call to glory. When God called us to be a believer in the finished work of His only begotten Son on the cross of Calvary, the summary of that call is to glorify the believer. Remember that those who He thus fore-ordained, He also called and those who He called, He also justified and those who He justified, He also glorified. Thus, glorification is the end-result of being called a believer. It is important to state here clearly that before one can be glorified by God as a believer in Christ, one must be tested and tried by the fire prepared by God just as God`s word was tried. Also, we have to be tested and tried by the refining fire of the Most High just as gold and silver have to be tried in the furnace of fire before their glory, beauty and lustre could emerge. God is an expert in refining every believer by taking them through various challenges and trials of faith so that at the end of it all, their beauty and glory can emerge. Without the trials of faith, there cannot be glorification. What do we see today in Christendom? We see a people who claim to be a follower of Christ but do not want to partake of any inch of sacrificial challenge for the sake of Christ. We see a people that are interested in partaking of the blessedness of redemption without going through the process and it is the process that guarantees the quality of the finished product. If a stunk of coal refuses to go through the required process, the diamond in its beauty and glory can never emerge. Before Christ could emerge glorious, He had to pay the sacrificial price of going to the Cross despite the fact that He knew no sin. He had to die on a Cross that was meant for criminals and robbers for Him to emerge glorious. The Apostles of the new testament also went through hell on earth before the Gospel could reach the nations of the earth. Some of them were stripped naked and beaten publicly. Some of them were stoned to death. Some of them had to be incarcerated in prison cells for doing nothing wrong all for the sake of the propagation of the Gospel of Christ. The missionaries that bought the Gospel to Africa were victims of afflictions as they went through a lot of challenges. If all these people went through trials, challenges and afflictions for the sake of the Gospel, we cannot escape ours as long as we belong to Christ and we want to share in His glory. Apostle Paul called these trials/challenges/afflictions that we must pass through LIGHT and MOMENTARY compared to the EVERLASTING WEIGHT of GLORY that will be revealed in and through us. You may be going through some tough times in one or some areas of your life because of your staunch commitment to the advancement of the Gospel…never mind as the glory that will be revealed in and through you will surpass what you are going through at present. Imagine the glory and grandeur that Christ received and is still receiving in Heaven for the afflictions He suffered for the redemption of our souls. Imagine the glory that the Apostles will receive at the coming of Christ for they will be the judge over the twelve tribes of Israel but all these are accessible on the altar of trials, afflictions and challenges. The Bible states clearly that the glory of the latter end shall surpass the former. This means that the glory that God has reserved for His people in these last days shall surpass that of the old days but the glory is reserved for those who have sacrificed and have gone through a lot of trials and fierce challenges for the sake of the advancement of the Gospel of Christ Jesus. Some people are in the villages and remote places where there are no social amenities like electricity, portable water, telecommunication facilities like mobile phones, internet facilities etc for the sake of the Salvation of souls residing there and for the advancement of the Gospel of Christ. Some people give a better part of their energy, income and time to see God`s Kingdom advance on the face of the earth. The latter part of God`s glory that is to be revealed in these last days are reserved for these special set of people and others that are sacrificing their best for the sake of the Kingdom. May God grant you the grace to lightly esteem the light and momentary afflictions that you may be going through for the sake of the advancement of the Kingdom and the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. Your labour of love will not go unnoticed by God for God will reward all your labour of love for the Gospel and His Kingdom in Jesus precious name. It is well with you!
