Rev.3.1 - And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead.
How can you be alive then "stone dead". That means your state of life depends Not on your name, but on characters (signs, symptoms) of life. God cannot do anything outside of His life. What is the gift of God According to the scripture? It is Eternal life
And the matter of eternal life is not longevity (how long you can live) it's not something you wait to have but a gift that God gives.
You have to test the quality of something first before wanting to lavish more on it.
John.17.1 - These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:
John.17.2 - As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.
John.17.3 - And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
According to the scripture, eternal life is not living long😅 it is to know God the only true God and Jesus Christ whom He sent who also is God❤️
This knowledge is not head knowledge, this knowledge is ginosko which is an experiential knowledge. So what God's saying is that you cannot truly knows me outside of an experience. Even though the word of God was written down in a book, all those who wrote it down did it by an experience (encounter) with God.
It is the encounter of a man that we use as our apologetics😂 it is the encounter of John that we used to begin to study if the "come up hither" was him going up to the mountains, the 2nd heaven or the 3rd heaven. If we really want to know then we will also have to have our own encounter in this wise😏
Every of God's experience is capturedddd within His life and when you experience life then you experience God
People who receive eternal life live a different order of life.
The highest level of human life cannot live the least of eternal life.
Just as the litmus paper is used to test the acidity and basicity of a substance, so are there signs and symptoms that are used to test if you have life. Remember Rev 3:1 right! They had a name but they were dead! Let's try to see these signs 😅
Ps.1.1 - Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
Ps.1.2 - But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
Ps.1.3 - And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
The scripture captures that we are trees. I hope you know that we are trees na.
When Jesus made the blind man to see the first thing he said was "I see men as trees" Oga you're a tree😂
The tree is what typifies men in the context of both administrating, housing and benefitting life. The best way to interpret this life is by relating to the life as trees.
Let mew say this before I continue😂
It's either you're an ungodly person or you're a righteous person! It's either you're a tree or you're chaff!
Jer.17.8 - For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.
Mark.4.32 - But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it.
Let's therefore begin, the first sign of life is GROWTH according to Mark 4:32
If there is life then there should bee growth in any area of your life, and you don't force yourself to grow! If there's life then you must grow whether it is good or bad!
As bad as cancer is, the reason why it is a living thing is that it grows. As a believer, your spirit and character life should be growing. You shouldn't be found on a same level after 2 months😏
If something doesn't grow then it's not a living thing.
The virus is considered as a non living thing because they don't die neither have the capacity of living on their own😂
There's is no life in the virus, so what they do is to squeeze life from their host and live and when the host dies, they go back to their inactive state sincere they have no genetic material. They live yet they are dead!
Are you getting the point?
Chaii brother, all you do is go from one church to another, enter into every circle and you squeeze life from people yet you are dead!
You should grow Sir! Don't be in the same spiritual, intellectual, social plane for too long. How's can it be that 1 year after you're still struggling to fill someone with the Holy Ghost? You're a disgracee to the life that you've received. It's a proof that you're not growing. But there are certain situations that use to pull you down that can't do so now, that means you're growing. See you next time?!!
