THE TRUTH OF ALL TRUTHS (I)

  THIS IS THE LAMB OF GOD: JEHOVAH JESUS!

 (1)          There are truths concerning entities and phenomenal matters but there is also this reality of the truth of all truths. This truth, towering above all known and unknown truths, is the sire of all that fall under the designation of truism and without which no truthfulness will stand. Proverbs 14:12 says, “There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.”

Not like any other, this truth does not goad His faithful adherents to death. An entity, a personage is this truth who goes by such sobriquets as: Lord of lords, King of kings, mighty God, everlasting Father, Word of God, even Jesus Christ. This is the only Truth in eternal absolutism.

He is the Way, the Truth and the Life: The Saviour.

The word ‘way’ in the above scripture is derek (deh’-rek): ‘way, road, distance, journey, a road (as trodden); figuratively a course of life or mode of action.’ ‘Right’ is yâshâr (yaw-shawr’): ‘straight, upright, correct, level, right, pleasing, straightforward, just, fitting, proper, pleasant, prosperous.’ Satan, the Devil, the archenemy of Jehovah, is the first to ply this route, lifestyle which looked seemingly prosperously true. ‘Seemeth unto’ is pânı̂ym (paw-neem’) ‘face, faces (as that part that turns).’ Pânı̂ym comes from panah (paw-naw’) ‘1. to turn 2. (by implication) to face, i.e. appear, look, etc.’ Today Lucifer is licking his immedicable wounds. It will be an egregious stupidity to walk the damned path of Satan.

‘Death’ is mâveth (maw’-veth) in Hebrew and means: ‘death (natural or violent); concretely, the dead, their place or state (hades); figuratively, pestilence, ruin.’ The angelic fools who ventured to sail with him have fallen deepest into Tatarus. For treading his duplicitous lifestyle, man is still wallowing in gangrenous immorality. Did God create freakish demonism? Their entry into the fraudulent deal with Satanism engendered the fiendish metamorphosis we know of them today. Indeed the paths of Lucifer are absolutely annihilatory. Amen!

BEHOLD THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD!

Theologically speaking there are only two forces involved with truthfulness. They are the Truth (God’s Word -Jesus) and the spirit of falsehood i.e. Satanism. There is no mutual understanding between them, neither is there any rapport. The Bible informs clearly in 2Corinthians 6:14, “Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?” The Truth is Light as we read from John 1:1-9. Verse 9 says, “That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.” What is ‘unbelievers’ in Greek? It is apistos (ap’-is-tos) ‘1. (actively) disbelieving, i.e. without Christian faith 2. (specially) a heathen 3. (passively) untrustworthy (person) or unbelievable, incredible (thing). The Christian faith is key to understanding God and the attendant Truth.

Dikaiosune (dik-ai-os-oo’-nay) is the Greek for ‘righteousness,’ it means: ‘1. equity (of character or act) 2. (specially) Christian justification.’ Anomia (an-om-ee’-ah) which has the definition of: ‘1. illegality, i.e. violation of law 2. (genitive case) wickedness,’ is the word for ‘unrighteousness.’ The word ‘communion’ is koinonia (koy-nown-ee’-ah) ‘1. Partnership 2. (literally) participation 3. (social) intercourse 4. (financial) benefaction.’ The correlative definitions of unrighteousness and darkness receive an unaffected limpidity in the definition of ‘Belial’ (bel-ee’-al) -of 2Corinthians 6:15- which is: ‘1. worthlessness 2. Belial, as an epithet of Satan.’

The Truth does not run into any spasmodic jittery at the thought of being discovered. The Truth will remain seated, awaiting the crowd just as Jesus sat, to feed them who responded to the evangelism of the woman at the well of Sychar. One huge importance of truthfulness is to bring soberness into the mind inebriated with falsehood. At Sychar He taught a ‘must’ when He said, “God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth,” in John 4:24. It was quite germane for Him to teach the Truth in ‘Sychar,’ which has the definition of ‘liar or drunkard.’

Falsehood seeks asylum under the ominous cloaks of religion and the esotericism of the occult. “The way of a fool,” as rightly pointed out in Proverbs 12:15, “is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise.” The good and the best counsel is found in the Jesus of the Bible. Confer Isaiah 9:6, “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.”

 

Jesus stared at the theological puerility of Nicodemus

                You can get born again by saying this simple prayer, believing it with all your heart. Say: Dear heavenly Father, I come to You now in the name of Jesus Christ. I believe in my heart that Jesus is the Son of God. I believe in my heart that Jesus died for my sins and You raised Him from the dead. I confess with my mouth that Jesus is Lord, and I receive Him as my Lord and my Saviour. I give God all the glory, Amen. (…to be continued…)

Conspiratorial Satanism (2)

(…continued from part one)

2)            How could mere disappointment from mere mortals shatter the faith in the Jehovah of an Israelite like King Saul? He simply saw an overwhelming army and Satan just played the tape of a demoralizing deluge. The phenomenal understanding that when you are outnumbered is synonymous to defeat vitiated the faith known of an Israelite in his heart. Delay, as far as the good God is concerned, is not denial. Selah!

Saul was programmed to forget this truth, ergo, the number of days gone by made him believe so erroneously that Samuel would not show up. From 1Samuel 13:11, Mô‛êd, mô‛êd or mô‛âdâh (mo-ade’) is the Hebrew word for ‘appointed’ which means: ‘appointed place, time or season.’ Natural phenomenon cannot be the deciding factor of man’s faith in the LORD, his God. The Bible made it crystal clear that the manna continued to fall all their wilderness days. Saul forgot that the same Jehovah was still in existence to protect him from dire situations. His enemy saw to that.

‘Gather together’ is âsaph (aw-saf’): ‘to gather for any purpose; hence to receive, take away, that is, remove (destroy, leave behind, put up, restore, etc.).’ This overt apprehension he displayed. They were coming for him! He was all alone! This fear he mistakenly reeled out. This trepidation received an overflow of fueling from a hidden superstitious belief that some imagined enemy is hidden somewhere, so, I need to fortify myself.

The meaning of the place Mikmâs or Michmash (mik-maws’) is ‘hidden’ and it comes from the root kâmas (kaw-mas’) ‘to store away, that is, (figuratively) in the memory.’ ‘Appointment’ is the Hebrew mow`ed (mo-ade’) (or moled {mo-ade’} or (feminine) moweadah (2 Chronicles 8) ‘1. (properly) an appointment, i.e. a fixed time or season 2. (specifically) a festival 3. (conventionally) a year 4. (by implication) an assembly (as convened for a definite purpose) 5. (technically) the congregation 6. (by extension) the place of meeting 7. (also) a signal (as appointed beforehand).’ This ‘appointment’ was initiated by Jehovah. It is not everyone God has an appointment with. Only faith in Him enables us to keep this divine appointment. Satan has always made sure to drain us of faith that allows our walk with Jesus.

Satan most definitely scared Saul with the root meaning of Gilgal of 1Samuel 13:12; its definition has to do with ‘a wheel, whirl wheel, rolling or rolling stones.’ He was made to see his army coming against a whirl wheel and an avalanche of rolling stones. The fear gripped him! He must do something and drastically too. This satanically engendered fear just would not leave King Saul alone.

The word ‘forced’ ‘aphaq (aw-fak’) means ‘to contain or restrain (oneself); (reflexively) to abstain; feel compelled.’ This is Saul’s excuse: “I waited for you and when the timing elapsed I forced myself to do this thing, bedeviled with the uncomfortable, prevailing phenomenal circumstance.” The Enemy made sure that Saul forgot Deuteronomy 5:32, “Ye shall observe to do therefore as the LORD your God hath commanded you: ye shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.” God, he forgot, is the Keeper of appointments.

Anytime you find yourself walking diametrically against God’s will, what you are actually doing is an arrogant act: pride goes ere fall. The meaning of the Hebrew word for ‘offered,’ `alah, (aw-law’) is: ‘to ascend, intransitively (be high) or actively (mount).’ The king gave his ears to an enemy, an arrogant enemy who did lose out with God and was condemned to be and forever remain an outcast. It was so apropos that Lucifer would mount Saul on a high horse that will spell ‘egotism.’

Eve festered superstitious proclivity is ingrained in man’s consciousness, ready for satanic motivation, bringing out the worst of this human proneness. Saul, the king, did fall for it. He has taught me a lesson, so why should I fail like he did. Praise the LORD!  (Concluded)

Conspiratorial Satanism (1)

Little do we know the conspiratory set up that the enemy has surreptitiously framed, placed somewhere inside the cogitative seat of our being; waiting patiently, with so much of an uncanny imperturbability, to be swallowed up in the entrapment.

Something did take place in the Book of 1Samuel 13:11-12. It reads, “And Samuel said, What hast thou done? And Saul said, Because I saw that the people were scattered from me, and that thou camest not within the days appointed, and that the Philistines gathered themselves together at Michmash; 12) Therefore said I, The Philistines will come down now upon me to Gilgal, and I have not made supplication unto the LORD: I forced myself therefore, and offered a burnt offering.”

Do note that King Saul did not say, “Therefore said the LORD….” It was, therefore, his own concoction, from his mental seat of human cogitation. It does not, in anyway, have any theological backing of scripture because the eighth verse of the tenth chapter points, rigidly, an accusing finger at Saul, which reads: “And thou shalt go down before me to Gilgal; and, behold, I will come down unto thee, to offer burnt offerings, and to sacrifice sacrifices of peace offerings: seven days shalt thou tarry, till I come to thee, and shew thee what thou shalt do” [1Samuel 10:8]. When you try to think for God, from your own thinking faculty, beware lest you be found acting a demonically direction and a rendition of the lines of the script (cut from Satanism and pasted in your mind) whose executive producer is Lucifer himself.

Saul experienced three things. 1. Because I saw that the people were scattered from me 2. and that thou camest not within the days appointed  3. that the Philistines gathered themselves together at Michmash. And he did three things: i. Saul thought about the problem he was facing. ii. He decided to apply a rash decision having been drenched in a faith-deficient thought. iii. He offered a burnt offering: meant only for a priestly office. Six things, added together. Six being the number of man, he fell in the fall of Adamic incaution.

His experience failed to ignite the spirit of faith expected from an Israelite. The king of God’s own Israel chose the entertainment of fear to solve his predicament. We are the architect of our own falseheartedness. The words of scripture are meant to engender the spirit of faith, serving as the galvanisation of our resolve to wait on the LORD. All Satan has to do is just show the carnality of our eyes a frightening negativity. The first thing Lucifer projected into the unsuspecting being of Saul was: “The Philistines will come down now upon me to Gilgal,” and the very second the evil one is certain of your capitulation, he takes you on the ride to self-destructive conclusive steps.

Having failed to embrace faith it was very easy for the enemy to make him dwell on the faithless driven words of: “and I have not made supplication unto the LORD:” which took Saul to the very reason for this Satanic machination of Saul’s derailment. “I forced myself therefore, and offered a burnt offering.” I understand, from the tenth chapter, verse 8 of this Book that Samuel, the priest and the prophet of Israel, was to offer the sacrifice and not king Saul. To attempt a gadarene rush in a man’s dealing with God is tantamount to an indictment of God’s uncomfortable snail speed pace. Saul’s precipitousness had engendered a second failure to prove his monarchal worthiness before the appraisive eyes of Jehovah.

The experience plus the deed equals six. Six is the scriptural number of man: fallen, Adamic man. The fall got its engenderment from the woman of the Eden’s supposititious superstition verbalism of,“…..neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die” [Genesis 3:3]. Let us go back to 1Samuel 13:11-12 to look at some words. The word ‘scattered’ is nâphats (naw-fats’) in Hebrew, meaning: ‘to break, dash, beat in pieces.’

How could mere disappointment from mere mortals shatter the faith in the Jehovah of an Israelite like King Saul? He simply saw an overwhelming army and Satan just played the tape of a demoralizing deluge.  (…to be continued…)

SATAN FELL BEFORE THE ETERNAL GOD (II)

“See nothing good in Lucifer,” the Holy Spirit told Rev. Chris Okotie.

   (…continued from the 1^st part…)

 *2*     The word of Scripture’s couching intimacy of, “…till iniquity was found in thee…” is a proof that the Holy Spirit did remind him of his ministerial loyalty to the Divinity. Lucifer was hell bent on allowing his ungodly reverie to take the worst of his thoughts. Lucifer’s rejection of the counsel of the Holy Spirit brought him into the guilt of Matthew 12:31, “Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.” It was the malison of the Eternal One that judged Satan, for that simple fact, his sentence carried an eternal consequence, with no option of grace. Lucifer was doomed forever. Amen.

He fell before an Eternal God

Satan knew that he was doomed forever. The taboo he stepped into was more than what he envisaged. He would not even essay to ask for forgiveness, just for the record. He was too engrossed in the delirium of his procacious mentality. Lucifer must, he believed, brandish his cognitive dementia. To other beings he unleashed the dangerous insanity that had warped him to a stupor.

Adam did not understand that Lucifer was merely extending his apocalyptic judgment upon him and the entire humanity when he came to show the woman how to become God. Even till this very day, people hardly know how steep into an apocalyptic end they are being hounded into as they vote an emphatic, “Yes,” to Satanism. The doomed guy has done his perfect homework, or rather his covin-work, with the sole intention of derailing man’s destiny of actuating godliness. “Let us make Adam in our likeness and in our image,” is the revelatory word of the Scripture.

”…he knoweth that he hath but a short time.”

I know that he knew his doom was a certainty from the word of God. Luke 10:18, “And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven;” so Jesus revealed. In John 16:11, the Lord said, “Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.” Revelation 12:12 reveals, “Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.” Satanism is an attempt to give dividends of doom to the inhabitants of the terra firma. Lucifer is an evil genius. A calculating nocent spirit, who leaves no stone unturned in his deleterious proclivity.

Remember the things Ezekiel 28:15 told us? He was ‘perfect’ at his creation. God did not make an evil being. He decided to be so, against God’s design. This is why he had successfully deceived billions of intelligent beings. He exhibits fallacy of ‘perfection.’ Satan’s ‘ways’ are no longer God’s ways. He has suffered a spiritual derailment. Anyone who follows him runs into derailment. He has been able to chart a lifestyle of delusion for his followers. He has kept them in the gulag of his religions.

“…till iniquity was found in thee…”

God said, “till iniquity was found in thee,” making Lucifer the man of ‘iniquity’ which, in Hebrew, is ‛evel (eh’-vel): ‘(moral) evil, injustice, unrighteousness; wrong.’ Lucifer dared to look at the holiness of the One who sits on the throne with his unrighteousness. Judgment fell upon his stiff-necked penchant.

Thankfully, Adamic progeny has been graced with a second chance. Let him sin against God a million times; the million and first transgression that brings you before HIM becomes your 2nd chance. No angel was and is this fortunate! Be wise.

Get Jesus involved in your life. Get born again. In all sincerity say this prayer of salvation: “Dear heavenly Father, I come to You now in the name of Jesus Christ. I believe in my heart that Jesus is the Son of God. I believe that Jesus died on the cross for my sin. I believe that You raised Him from the dead. I confess with my mouth that Jesus is Lord and I receive Him now as my Lord and my Saviour. I give God all the glory. Amen!”    (Concluded)

SATAN FELL BEFORE THE ETERNAL GOD (I)

 *1*         Jehovah is a God of legality. He sits on the celestial throne as the Judge and King of the heavenly assizes. His adjudicatory essence receives a proof in Genesis 15:14, where He foretold what would befall Abraham’s progeny. “And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.” The word ‘judge’ is dı̂yn or dûn (deen) ‘to judge, contend, plead.’ Abraham, when he saw HIS day, took the opportunity to haggle the salvation of the population of Sodom and Gomorrah in Genesis 18:25, “That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?” Shâphaṭ (shaw-fat’) is the Hebrew word for ‘Judge,’ meaning: ‘to judge, govern, vindicate, punish.’ The LORD lounges on a throne and that accounts for HIS Majestic office. One of the innumerous celestial ministering subjects was Lucifer.

 The ‘light bearer’ is not The LIGHT!

His proximity to the Creator, as the ‘light bearer’ (which is the definition of his name, Lucifer) and a highly intelligent being, leaves him no excuse to feign benightedness of what was expected of him and the consequences of any disobedience. Ezekiel 28:15, “Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.” ‘Perfect,’ from this verse is tâmı̂ym (taw-meem’): ‘complete, whole, entire, sound.’ ‘Ways’ is derek (deh’-rek): ‘a road (as trodden); figuratively a course of life or mode of action, often adverbially.’ The word ‘day’ is: yôm (yome) ‘day (which speaks of the hotness of the working period of sunshine), time, year.’ The next word is ‘created’ bârâ’ (baw-raw’): (absolutely) to create; (qualified) to cut down (a wood), select, feed (as formative processes).’And ‘iniquity’‛evel ‛âvel ‛avlâh ‛ôlâh ‛ôlâh (eh’-vel) (moral) evil, injustice, unrighteousness, wrong;’ proves that Lucifer did bring a decadent change upon himself, which caused his prideful fall.

Judged: the god of this world.

The Hebrew bârâ’ in contrast to ‛âśâh (aw-saw’) speaks of creation out of none existing material. The LORD probably used a non-existing materials to create Lucifer: for HE chose to make him first before any other intelligent being. His being at creationism apotheosized the lifestyle of angelic ones. Leading himself into an apostate abomination, he thought the apotheosis he enjoyed was a culmination into deification.

He cometh to steal, kill and to destroy.

God set him in the quintessential way he found his glorious self, in one of HIS working days. Lucifer also looked for a day to perfect a treasonous felony. It led to the infamy of Isaiah 14:13-14 “For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: 14) I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.” These pronouncements were vociferations of maniacal proclivities that were carried by Satanism of demency, for a procacious transmission to the sacred presence of the celestial throne room of the Majesty.

Lucifer’s errancy goaded him to the execution of the first putsch

Jehovah is eternal. When Lucifer’s errancy goaded him to the execution of the first putsch, it was before the Eternal Judge, the LORD God, that he committed the felonious cruelty. Christ and the Holy Spirit were not the only Eternal Witnesses to the satanic antipathy, myriads of the two-thirds counterinsurgent angels, led by Michael are witnesses to Lucifer’s criminality in the court of celestial jurisprudence. In fact Lucifer himself will stand to depose his nefariousness. An eternal judgment is due, ergo, to a sinfulness before the Eternal Jehovah. Lucifer, I believe, knew what he was into. He tried to play a psychological game with God.

Blasphemy.

Don’t fall like this wretched, incautious one!

Be wise. Get Jesus involved in your life. Get born again. In all sincerity say this prayer of salvation: “Dear heavenly Father, I come to You now in the name of Jesus Christ. I believe in my heart that Jesus is the Son of God. I believe that Jesus died on the cross for my sin. I believe that You raised Him from the dead. I confess with my mouth that Jesus is Lord and I receive Him now as my Lord and my Saviour. I give God all the glory. Amen!”       (…to be concluded…)
