Today's Focus: A true Christian should not SEE things only from the PHYSICAL perspective!
Many genuine Christians SEE things only from the PHYSICAL perspective. Therefore, limiting their life and living in Christ in this World. True!
The Christian WALK (relationship) and WORK (partnership) with God in Christ in this World has one critical dimension, to help you not to only SEE things from the PHYSICAL perspective alone, but also from the SPIRITUAL perspective, to know what to do right and advantageously par time. True!
Life is designed by God to have a two dimensional approach, which are:
1. SPIRITUAL dimensional approach.
2. PHYSICAL dimensional approach.
While every human being can identify with the PHYSICAL dimensional approach, only those who are spiritual and spiritually mature can understand and operate from the SPIRITUAL dimensional approach. True! (1 Corinthians 2:9-16).
Jesus Christ, our ultimate ROLE MODEL for how to live victoriously and successfully, God's way on Earth, said thus:
Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because He not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was His Father, making Himself equal with God. Then answered Jesus and said unto them, verily, verily, I say unto you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He SEES the Father do: for what things soever He does, these also does the Son likewise. For the Father loves the Son, and shews Him all things that Himself does: and He will show Him greater works than these, that you may marvel. I can of mine own self do nothing: as I HEAR I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me. (John 5:18-20, 30).
From the above scriptural reference, when Jesus Christ was physically on the Earth, He said He could do nothing of Himself except:
1. What He SEES His Father does.
2. What He HEARS His Father says.
Prophetically, Prophet Isaiah had revealed thus:
And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots: And the SPIRIT of the LORD shall rest upon Him, the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD; And shall make Him(JESUS CHRIST) of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD: and He shall NOT judge after the SIGHT of His eyes, neither reprove after the HEARING of his ears: (Isaiah 11:1-3).
Jesus Christ lived up to this prophetic declaration about Him couple of thousand years back by prophet Isaiah before His physical manifestation on the Earth. Halleluyah!
But now, understand this, the Bible reveals that as JESUS CHRIST is, so we are in this World. True! (1 John 4:17).
Therefore, until, you spiritually mature to a place with God:
1. Where by showing you His love, you can SEE what He the Father is doing and do them par time, then, you are still a baby or a Child (immature) Christian, not yet an adult or a Son (mature) Christian. True!
2. Where by showing you His love, you can HEAR what He the Father is saying and obey them par time, then, you are still a baby or a Child (immature) Christian, not yet an adult or a Son (mature) Christian. True!
Apostle Paul said that when he was a child (spiritually immature), he spoke as a child (spiritually immature), he understood as a child (spirituallu immature) and he thought as a child (spiritually immature). But when he grew up and became a man (spiritually mature), he put away childish (spiritually immature things). (1 Corinthians 13:11; Hebrews 5:12-14).
This is because, true Christianity maturity and practice is when you spiritually grow in your WALK (relationship) and WORK (partnership) with God in Christ to a spiritual state (condition) and status (position), where you can now by the SPIRIT of God that is within you, SEE and HEAR what God, the Father, is showing and asking you to do for Him in Christ par time on Earth, to the benefit of humanity for His glory. True! (Matthew 5:13-16; Ephesians 2:5-8; John 17:1-5; 2 Timothy 4:5-8).
This is why the Bible reveals that for as many that are LED by the SPIRIT of God, they are the SONS of God. (Romans 8:14 Hebrews 5:12-14).
Now know and note that Christianity will profit or benefit you little or nothing, if you do not RENEW your mind with the WORD of God daily to SEE and HEAR par time by the SPIRIT of God that is within you, what you are supposed to do for yourself or for others to the glory of God. True! (Romans 12:1,2).
Always remember the Word of Jesus Christ, which says, it is the Spirit that quickens. The FLESH (physical) profits nothing. The Words I speaks to you, they are SPIRIT and they are LIFE. (John 6:63).
If you are a true Christian and SEES things only from the PHYSICAL perspective, you are limiting God on what He want to do for you in Christ and through your life for others in this World. True!
Think about it and do something about it now. Study God's Word and let it dwells richly in you, pray and learn how to HEAR and OBEY par time, the Spirit of God that is within you. (2 Timothy 2:15; Colossians 3:16,18; Romans 8:14; Galatians 5:18).
Today's Focus from Scripture:
But as it is written, EYE had not seen, nor EAR heard, neither have entered into the HEART of man, the things which God had prepared for them that LOVE Him. But God had REVEALED them unto us by His SPIRIT: for the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. For what man knows the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? Even so the things of God knows no man, but the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that WE might KNOW the things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teaches, but which the Holy Ghost teaches; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man receives not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. But he that is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. For who had known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ. (1 Corinthians 2:9-16).
Take note, take heed!
