Christ Diplomat (Exhortations)

Beyond the fellowship with the Word of God is fellowship with the Spirit of Christ. The first thing about fellowship the Spirit of Christ is the consciousness of His presence. You need to first and foremost be conscious of the Presence of the Holy Spirit with and in you for you to be able to fellowship with Him. Sure, this is very difficult for some people whose lives are ruled by feelings and what they experience through their five physical senses. You should not be like that. Your life should be ruled by the Word of God. That is the exact reason why we started with understanding and submitting to the Lordship of the Word of God. Thus, no matter what you see, feel, hear or experience in any way, let the Word of God be the only thing that matters to you. Whatever negates the Word of God is not worthy of your consideration. Now, Jesus has already assured you in His Word that "...the Father, ...shall give you another Comforter [the Holy Spirit], that he may abide with you FOR E...

Once you receive the Word of God with meekness, He begins to work on your mind and take charge of your mind--thought and conscience --till they function like Christ's. Soon you'd be able to discern what the will of God is in every issue of life. Remember that some few days ago, we explained that everyone has his mind subject to some force referred to as "the spirit of your mind". For the children of disobedience (the unregenerated people) it is the spirit of the Prince of the Power of the Air. Apart from being in charge of their spirit, he was also in charge of their minds, making them to think, talk and walk as they do (Eph 2:2). When you get born again, however, this spirit is dead from your spirit. God severs that body of sin of death through a process called spiritual circumcision (Col2:11-12). However, you have to redeem your soul from its influence through the regeneration of your mind. When you were not born again, you were a slave of the devil so you ha...

TEXT Heb 4:12-13 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.  13  Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do MESSAGE Once you begin to go beyond the letter or the grammar of the scripture to locate the Word of God, the first dimension of the word that you'd encounter is called the "Logos". This refer to the general or whole body of truth spoken or written for the benefit of everyone. Many people have looked down on this dimension of the Word of God. But this is what God has to say about Him He's alive he's actually the Lord from heaven. He's able to do just anything, even things far beyond your widest imaginations (Heb 4:12) He's sharp and can penetrate anythi...

TEXT: James 1:21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls. MESSAGE Do you want to reason and plan with divine IQ, wisdom and frequency, you've got to go beyond studying the scripture to fellowshiing with the Word. Today, we'd examine how to locate set up yourself to reach beyond the scripture to the Word of God Our passage today calls the Word of God that is able to save our souls the engrafted (implanted,  or encoded) word. There are only two places on earth in which the word of God is engrafted. Firstly, it is encoded in the scriptures and subsequently in the willing and open heart heart of a contrite person. God encoded His word in the scripture so that you can decode it and install it into your heart through meditative study and dedicated practice. To do this, you need to receive the Word in the prescribed manner. When you open your heart to read the Word of ...

TEXT: John 5:39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. MESSAGE In our last discussion we studied how to fellowship with the Word of Christ. Today we shall be moving further on the issue of developing the mind of Christ. One major pitfall of many that profess the christian faith is that they don't understand the dimensions of the word of God, thus they muddle things together and make a mess of their faith. The scripture is the major vehicle by which the Word of God is conveyed to man. Scripture simply mean letter (translated from the Greek words: "graphe" or "gramma"). The scripture is a means to and end. It is not the end itself, the Word (Jesus) is the end. That's exactly what Jesus is saying to us now The major error of the Pharisees (which, sadly, many Christians still fall into) is that they mistook the scripture for the Word of God. Of a truth, the scripture is Godbreathed: bu...

TEXT: Psalms 19:7-8 The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes. MESSAGE Fellowship with the word is fellowship with Christ. This is the process of interacting with, handling and doing word. When you fellowship with the word, it transforms your mind and makes you to begin to think, speak and act like Christ. Remember, " He that walketh with wise men shall be wise ..." (Prov 13:20). The Word of God is the wisdom of God. Fellowship with the Word brings you to the same frequency of wisdom as God. Fellowshipping with the word demands the totality of your soul which include your intellect, your will, your conscience and your emotions. As you deploy them in fellowship, they begin to get transformed to operate the same frequency as Christ's. To fellowship with your intellect, you need to ...
