There is sad trend I have observed in the lives of many genuine Christians today and that is:
1. Many genuine Christians know and relate with God as their GOD only and not as their FATHER in Christ Jesus as well. True!
2. Many genuine Christians knows and relates with God as their FATHER in Christ Jesus only and not as their GOD as well. True!
Thinking, speaking and living in any of the above way in Christ in this World is an IMBALANCE and INCOMPLETE WAY of thinking, speaking and living in Christ (who the Bible reveals we are each BALANCE and COMPLETE in Him) in this World. True! Take note, take heed! (Colossians 2:8-10).
You must know and relate with God, not only as your GOD, but also as your FATHER in Christ Jesus. True!
This is the way Jesus Christ Himself when He was here on Earth knew and related with God thus:
JESUS said unto her, touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto MY FATHER, and YOUR FATHER; and to MY GOD, and YOUR GOD. (John 20:17).
And the Bible reveals to us in 1 John 4:17 that as Jesus Christ is, so are we in this World. Therefore, you must personally know and relate with God as both your GOD and your FATHER as well. This is when you will be thinking, speaking and living BALANCED and COMPLETED as a New Testament (Covenant) believer in Christ in this World. True!
If you know and relate with God only as GOD. That is, as GOD the Designer, Creator and Owner of the Heaven and the Earth only and ALL that is in them including you and I:
1. Then you have missed the real reason Jesus Christ came to the Earth on your behalf. True!
2. Then you have not realised your PRIVILEGE PLACE in Christ in this World. True!
Then, you are the one I am sent to today to minister to, so please humble yourself and follow me closely as I deliver unto you the MESSAGE I am sent to deliver to you today. Are you ready? Then, lets roll!
JESUS CHRIST as a our New Testament (Covenant) Author and Finisher of our Faith PAID the PRICE to qualified us as CHILDREN of GOD in this World in the sight of God His Father making God His Father also our FATHER in this World. True! (Hebrews 8; Hebrews 12:1,2).
Now, this is:
1. A PRIVILEGE the Old Testament (Covenant) believers did not enjoy in this World. True!
2. A PRIVILEGE unbelievers that are currently in the World cannot enjoy until they become believers in Christ in this World. True! Take note, take heed!
This is because only those who genuinely believe and receive as their personal Saviour and Lord can receive the SPIRIT OF GOD within them in this World. That is, in other words, only those who are truly born again have beend given the SPIRIT OF CHRIST or the SPIRIT OF SON-SHIP in Christ within them in this World. True!
The Bible confirms this truth to us thus:
Now I say, that the heir, as long as he is a child, differs nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all; But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father. Even so we, when we were children, WERE IN BONDAGE under the elements of the World: But when the FULLNESS OF THE TIME was come, GOD SENT FORTH HIS SON, made of a woman, made under the law, TO REDEEM THEM that were under the law, that WE MIGHT RECEIVE THE ADOPTION OF SONS. And because you are sons, God had sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. Wherefore you art NO more a servant, but a SON; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ. (Galatians 4: 1-7; John 1:1-13; Romans 8).
Therefore, as a genuine CHILD of GOD in Christ in this World, you are JOINED to be ONE and SAME with Christ in the sight of God the FATHER in Heaven. Therefore, the Bible in 1 John 4:17 reveals to us that as Jesus Christ is, so are we in this World. True! Take note, take heed!
The Bible confirms this truth to us thus:
But he that is JOINED unto the Lord is ONE SPIRIT. (1 Corinthians 6:17).
Also,
For you have NOT received the SPIRIT OF BONDAGE again to fear; but you have received the SPIRIT OF ADOPTION, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit, that we are the CHILDREN of GOD: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and JOINT-HEIRS with CHRIST; if so be that we suffer with Him, that we may be also glorified together. (Romans 8:15-17).
Therefore, the scriptural verses above reveals that you as JOINT-HEIR with CHRIST in this World in the sight of God the Father in Heaven, God the Father will allow you SUFFER certain things in this World for Christ's sake to Glory (enjoy) certain things in this World for Christ's sake as well. True! Take note, take heed! (Hebrews 5:9-15; Hebrews 12:1-14; Matthew 16:24-27).
Now, you need to know and note that:
1. You cannot know and relate with God as your miracle, sign and wonder performing GOD only, but also as your loving, caring and faithful FATHER to enter and enjoy your divine REST in Christ in this World. True! Take note, take heed!
2. You cannot know and relate with God as your miracle, sign and wonder performing GOD only, but also as your loving, caring and faithful FATHER to enter and enjoy your divine BEST in Christ in this World. True! Take note, take heed!
3. You cannot know and relate with God as your miracle, sign and wonder performing GOD only, but also as your loving, caring and faithful FATHER to discover and fulfill your divine DESTINY in Christ in this World. True! Take note, take heed!
How do I know that?
Because Jesus Christ revealed to us thus:
But the hour comes, and now is, when the TRUE WORSHIPPERS shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father SEEKS such to worship Him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in SPIRIT and in TRUTH. (John 4: 23,24).
Therefore, the Bible reveals to us that:
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
God as your FATHER in Christ in this World is based on a covenant relationship that see Jesus Christ as you in this World because of the Holy Spirit of Christ that is within you in this World. (Hebrews 8; Romans 8; 2 Corinthians 3:17).
This is why Apostle Paul prayed thus:
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the COMMUNION of the HOLY GHOST, be with you all. Amen. (2 Corinthians 13: 14).
Therefore, don't be deceived because until you personally LEARN to have conscious and consistent COMMUNION with the HOLY SPIRIT of Christ that is within you in this World, YOU ARE NOT YET having a Father and Child Covenant relationship with God your FATHER in Christ in this World. True! Take note, take heed!
That is,
1. Until you personally LEARN to have conscious and consistent FELLOWSHIP with the HOLY SPIRIT of Christ that is within you in this World, YOU ARE NOT YET having a Father and Child Covenant relationship with God your FATHER in Christ in this World and this is not to your advantage or to your profit and benefit in Christ in this World. True! Take note, take heed! (John 4:23,23).
2. Until you personally LEARN to have conscious and consistent TUTORSHIP from the HOLY SPIRIT of Christ that is within you in this World, YOU ARE NOT YET having a Father and Child Covenant relationship with God your FATHER in Christ in this World and this is not to your advantage or to your profit and benefit in Christ in this World. True! Take note, take heed! (1 John 2:17; John 16:13-16).
3. Until you personally LEARN to have conscious and consistent REVELATION from the HOLY SPIRIT of Christ that is within you in this World, YOU ARE NOT YET having a Father and Child Covenant relationship with God your FATHER in Christ in this World and this is not to your advantage or to your profit and benefit in Christ in this World. True! Take note, take heed! (1 Corinthians 2:9-16).
4. Until you personally LEARN to have conscious and consistent SUPPLY from the HOLY SPIRIT of Christ that is within you in this World, YOU ARE NOT YET having a Father and Child Covenant relationship with God your FATHER in Christ in this World and this is not to your advantage or to your profit and benefit in Christ in this World. True! Take note, take heed! (Philippians 1:19; Philippians 4:13,19).
5. Until you personally LEARN to have conscious and consistent LEADERSHIP (guidance for your choice making and decision taking) from the HOLY SPIRIT of Christ that is within you in this World, YOU ARE NOT YET having a Father and Child Covenant relationship with God your FATHER in Christ in this World and this is not to your advantage or to your profit and benefit in Christ in this World. True! Take note, take heed! (Romans 8:14; Galatians 5:18).
6. Until you personally LEARN to have conscious and consistent HELP from the HOLY SPIRIT of Christ that is within you in this World, YOU ARE NOT YET having a Father and Child Covenant relationship with God your FATHER in Christ in this World and this is not to your advantage or to your profit and benefit in Christ in this World. True! Take note, take heed! (Romans 8:26-28).
7. And so on...
This is why Jesus Christ counsels us thus:
But SEEK you FIRST the KINGDOM OF GOD (the presence of the Holy Spirit of Christ), and His RIGHTEOUSNESS; and ALL these things shall be ADDED unto you. (Matthew 6:33; Luke 17:20,21).
And Apostle Paul as well counsels us thus:
See then that you WALK circumspectly, not as FOOLS, but as WISE, Redeeming the TIME, because the days are EVIL. Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the WILL of the Lord is. And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be FILLED with the SPIRIT. (Ephesians 5:15-18; Romans 12:1,2; 1 John 5:18-21).
And today, I am sent to timely remind and inform you because it is time to MOVE your Covenant relationship from God just being your miracle, sign and wonder performing GOD to a God being your loving, caring and faithful FATHER in Christ in this World as well says the Spirit of God as I want to also inform you before hand that it will take your conscious and consistent COMMITMENT to the Word, Will and Way of God in Christ for you par time par your situation to BUILD UP a STRONG Covenant relationship. True! Take note, take heed! (2 Corinthians 6:14-18).
Based on knowing and relating with God as your loving, caring and faithful FATHER in Christ in this World, the Bible says to us thus:
Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: CASTING all your CARE upon Him; for he CARES for you. (1 Peter 5:6,7).
I will love to leave you with this truth that the FATHER side of God is the GAME CHANGER in our walk and work with God in Christ in this World. True! It is the SOFT SIDE of GOD in Christ that we can explore each day to make it through our daily CHALLENGES in Christ in this World. Take note, take heed!
Therefore, the Bible reveals to us thus:
Like as a FATHER pities his CHILDREN, so the LORD pities THEM that FEAR Him. (Psalm 103: 13; Hebrews 12:1-14; Romans 8:28-39).
True! Take note, take heed because if you WALK and WORK with God in Christ in this World based on FATHER-CHILD Covenant relationship, you will encounter and experience divine MERCY and GRACE as never before. True!
This is because you will be WALKING and WORKING with the New Testament (Covenant) mindset that empowered you to overcome your weaknesses (lusts and prides) to enter and enjoy the REST and BEST of God in Christ for your you par time par your situation in this World. (Romans 8; James 1:12-15; 1 John 2:15-17).
God bless you.
