PREAMBLE.
In these last days , there are several coordinated and orchestrated machinations of satanic onslaughts against the Elect.
Indeed, these are the days of:
1.
Iniquity abounding in the Society as prophesied in the Gospel in Math 24:12.
2.
Perilous times as succinctly conveyed by the LORD Holy Spirit in 2 Tim 3 :1-5
3.
Days of Vile Affections and incurable Reprobacy as aptly captured by the LORD in Rom 1: 21-28,
2 Tim 4: 1-2. et al.
The last days Saint is troubled on every side because of falling standards from every front :
The Home Front.
The Office Front.
The Church Front .
The Business Front and
The Government Front among others.
What does the later day Elect do in the light of incessant attacks against his faith and in the light of Eternity?
The solution is not far!
He or she is charged to zero into the Celestial and receive a fresh and daily impartation of the Presence of GOD to become like the LORD JESUS CHRIST in His Divine CHARACTER OF CONSECRATION.
Through a godly life style, we incubate and carry GOD’ s Hallowed Presence.
Ps 114:7-8 says comfortingly that at His Presence , the Earth trembles and hard rocks can turn into fountain of waters.
HalleluJAH 🙏 🙌
It is this five fold Divine Deameanour of the LORD JESUS CHRIST that gave him victory ceaselessly and shall convey the same victory in these challenging and troubled times for the Elect.
It is good to have faith like most modern Churches preach in their motivational messages, but faith without sanctification is fake.
However, the preaching of motivational, feel good, wellness, happiness, material prosperity, social gospel, feeble light and liberal Theology messages can not change character and can not overcome satanic machinations.
Sin , Iniquity and worldliness have continued to increase in the Society.
It is only the preaching of the Commanded Message of Repentance, the Cross and the Kingdom of GOD with its Divine Penetrative Power that can purge the heart from Adamic sin and overcome orchestrated satanic onslaughts of these last days .
It is good to always confess the Word of GOD, but confession of the Word without the requisite Godly Character leads to duplicity which ends in hypocrisy.
The Bible said in its Reportage in Acts 1 :1, that the LORD JESUS began to do and preach .
When we do what we preach, we shall become like the LORD JESUS and be One with Him.
This Heavenly Deameanour of the LORD JESUS was conveyed in Heb 7 :26, to wit,
*For such a High Priest became us, who is
Holy,
Harmless,
Undefiled,
Separate from Sinners and made Higher than the Heavens*
HalleluJAH.
ILLUMINATION OF THIS CELESTIAL CHARACTER DISPOSITION.
HOLY
To be holy connotes first receiving imputed Righteousness from faith on the Cross and progressively becoming pure without physical mixtures , moral adulterations and behavioural contaminations.
It is a life devoid of sin and putrid affections.
To be holy means to be full of the fear of GOD and clean in your conduct , including the thought life.
It is a progressive spiritual journey that every Believer must be on a daily basis until it is perfercted.
1Tim 2:10, Math 5:8, 2 Tim 2 :19-25. 2 Corr 7:1, Eph 4:22-28, 1 Pet 1 :15-16
HARMLESS.
To be harmless is to live without an evil conscience, anger , wrath , bitterness, strife, vengeance, envy , competition , evil comparison and contention.
To be harmless is to be dead to the compulsive spirit of strife and contention.
It means the ability not to hurt others and not to be hurt by others and even when hurt, you do not carry bitterness and a depraved spirit of vengeance.
1Pet 2:23, Col 3:8, 12 – 16.
UNDEFILED
To be Undefiled is to live without base and low life culture.
It means that in your character, there is nothing unbecoming and nothing carnal about you.
Fornication is a very low life that must not be mentioned in the Church.
The Prophet Isaiah describes this Undefiled Way where nothing unclean or putrid shall pass.
Col 3 :5 , Eph 5;3. Isaiah 35 : 8.
This describes the Celestial life where no filthy lucre, marital infidelity, examination, electoral, financial or medical fraud accesses the life of the Elect.
Here, the Double vicious heritage of the modern world : Dishonesty and Duplicity are not part of you.
SEPARATE.
To be separate means to be sanctified from sin, greed and sinners unto GOD.
It is to be connected to godliness and Righteousness and disentangled from unequal yoking of 2 Corr 6:14 -18. It is to separated from Scorners of Ps 1 : 1-5
It is to be separated from earthly passions like covetousness and things below Heavenly trends, tendencies and propensities.
You cannot buy a commodity and inflate the price for unbridled and dishonest gains.
Col 3 ;1-3
HIGHER
This higher life is a transcendental life .
It is an above life.
It means to live the very Christian life with Heavenly virtues and carriage.
Here you are connected by the Word through the LORD Holy Spirit to the Dimension of Faith.
The principal builder of Faith is the Word of GOD.
ROM 10:17.
At this level , you begin to walk in the Spirit and become unassailable by terrestrial forces of doubt, anxiety, infirmity and fear.
You will become higher than demons, worldly music, worldly fashions, worldly slangs and carnal short cuts to prosperity.
This celestial status conveys solid spiritual manifestations and all things become possible, including profoundly thanking GOD despite negative ecologies and unexpected happenstances.
It is the life of Faith where as it is written, the Just shall live by faith.
Mk 9:23, Hab 2:4, Rom 1 ;17, Gal 3:11, Heb 10:38, , Rom 8:9, 2Corr 2;16, Eph 5:30, 1 Jn 4:17.
Jn 10 ;34, Ps 82:6.
CONCLUSION.
If we zero into the Christ like character of consecration to GOD, we shall incubate His ineffable Presence to have victory all the days of our lives unto ETERNITY.
HalleluJAH.
LET US PRAY.
Holy FATHER, I confess my moral inadequacies before you.
Cleanse me by the Precious Blood of the LORD JESUS CHRIST and impart into me by the Power of the LORD Holy Spirit, the five fold Demeanour of CHRIST to live for you victoriously over sin, infirmity, failure and oppression in the Name of the LORD JESUS CHRIST.
Amen.
The son of GOD shall return.
