THE HOUSE OF CHRIST

       OPEN YOUR MINDS TO UNDERSTAND CHRIST   (Luke 24: 45-47) 45 Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures, (KJV)   45 THEN HE OPENED THEIR MINDS, that they might understand the Scriptures. (WEB) 46 And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:47 And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem The Christ spoke here helped to understand that the state of the mind is very important in rightly dividing the word of righteousness He did not open there spirit at this point but he opened their eye of their understanding which the heart is in the mind.... It means the ability of the mind to think in line with the scripture to understand the significance of Jesus death, burial and resurrections for the remission of sin so that men could receive eternal life in Christ. Which he t...

  ESTABLISHING YOUR OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS IS IGNORANCE. It has been a problem that men always like to do things the way the feel is right instead of knowing the way God wants it to be done. Obviously it would look good in the eyes of men but in the sight of God they are acting in ignorance because the abhorred knowledge based on God’s standard. There would never be anytime man could effectively work with God if he lives from his knowledge instead of God’s knowledge. Many have moved from describing God, to narrating God. Others have gone from being expository to being explanatory about God and finally argue everything and anything that does not align with their words from knowledge of philosophy, legalism or archeological reasoning about God. To understand God’s standards you have to graduate from living by your words from knowledge to understanding word that come from God which is word of knowledge. Words of knowledge gives knowledge of what God did for us in Christ. The Hol...

    THE NEW CREATION SHOULD KNOW CHRIST AND MAKE HIM KNOWN Being a New Creation is not to bring you to the knowledge of tithe but the knowledge of Christ. The knowledge of tithe keeps men in bondage of performances to be financially blessed. But the knowledge of Christ brings men to consciousness of the freedom of Grace we have in Christ to do good to all men because God made us so when we were   born by the incorruptible   word of God. There has been no record in the revelation of Christ where anything could be obtained through tithing in the life of the New Creation instead through the knowledge of Christ. So it is falsehood to tell the New Creation that they can get anything from God by tithing. The New Creation knows that God owns everything he has through Christ and should be ready to give all at any time to further the Gospel of Christ. 2PE 1:3 ACCORDING AS HIS DIVINE POWER HATH GIVEN UNTO US ALL THINGS THAT PERTAIN UNTO LIFE AND GODLINESS, THROUGH THE...

  DO NOT MIND THE THINGS OF THE FLESH WHEN YOU ARE BORN OF THE SPIRIT We do not live in the mind. We do not live in the flesh. We live in Christ. We are living at the point that was living before the mind and the body became functional.   We were being suspended in a position of inactivity because the mind was totally alienated from the spirit before we believed. ( EPH 4:17-18) ¶ THIS I SAY THEREFORE, AND TESTIFY IN THE LORD, THAT YE HENCEFORTH WALK NOT AS OTHER GENTILES WALK, IN THE VANITY OF THEIR MIND,18 HAVING THE UNDERSTANDING DARKENED, BEING ALIENATED FROM THE LIFE OF GOD THROUGH THE IGNORANCE THAT IS IN THEM, BECAUSE OF THE BLINDNESS OF THEIR HEART. We are supposed to be in control of the mind. But because the mind had so mastered the flesh before the spirit was recreated the mind tends towards the flesh more than the spirit .That was what Adam lost in the Garden of Eden. He lost control of the mind and the devil took over the control of the mind by the activities...

  CONTROL YOUR MIND BY THE SPIRIT AND STOP LIVING BY SIGHT (SENSES) 2COR 5: 17 THEREFORE IF ANY MAN BE IN CHRIST, HE IS A NEW CREATURE: OLD THINGS ARE PASSED AWAY; BEHOLD, ALL THINGS ARE BECOME NEW. 2CO 5:7 (FOR WE WALK BY FAITH, NOT BY SIGHT) Old things pass away before God but they don’t pass away in the mind because memories do not vanish when we accept Jesus Christ by faith. We were redeemed from sin so that a believer could constantly renew the mind by knowledge of Christ to live in the realty of the new live we have in Him and escape fleshy lusts. EPH 4:23 AND BE RENEWED IN THE SPIRIT OF YOUR MIND (COL 3: 9-10) 9 LIE NOT ONE TO ANOTHER, SEEING THAT YE HAVE PUT OFF THE OLD MAN WITH HIS DEEDS;10 AND HAVE PUT ON THE NEW MAN, WHICH IS RENEWED IN KNOWLEDGE AFTER THE IMAGE OF HIM THAT CREATED HIM:   We need to redeem the mind from the memories of the past constantly.   Even the memories of a good thing done to a brother in Christ could be an obstacle. I said...

  YOU HAVE TO BE A NEW CREATION. The definition and description of the the New Creation can ONLY be in Christ.  .He can't exist anywhere else.. 2 Corinthians  5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. This means that without Christ death, burial and resurrection, there would not have been anything like New Creation.  The emergence of this new Creation has been the divine project God had  before the foundation of the world. When God and man would be one in common ground.  That was why God was not living in Adam. He was visiting. The first Adam was not God carrier Before the Creation of Adam God has already known the New Creation and destined them to be in Christ.  Because the lamb was slain before the foundation of the world. (Romans  8: 29-30 )For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn a...

  THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD HAS BEEN REVEALED. IN CHRIST MATH 5:6 BLESSED ARE THEY WHICH DO HUNGER AND THIRST AFTER RIGHTEOUSNESS: FOR THEY SHALL BE FILLED. MATh 5:20 FOR I SAY UNTO YOU, THAT EXCEPT YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS SHALL EXCEED THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF THE SCRIBES AND PHARISEES, YE SHALL IN NO CASE ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. The righteousness of God had been revealed but was not known until Christ rose from the dead. God revealed His righteousness to Abraham but it remained unknown to the Israelites because Christ had not manifested. GENESIS 15:6 AND HE BELIEVED IN THE LORD; AND HE COUNTED IT TO HIM FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS. Gen 15:6 And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness. ROM 4: 3 FOR WHAT SAITH THE SCRIPTURE? ABRAHAM BELIEVED GOD, AND IT WAS COUNTED UNTO HIM FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS. When the law was given to Moses it was for the Jews to attain righteousness by work which will never give any man right standing with God. (Eph 2:15) GAL 2:21 I DO NOT FRUSTR...

IT IS HEAVEN AT FIRST, NOT HEAVEN AT LAST. I have heard many preachers teach that those who are In Christ should strive to make heaven at last. I was in that shoe before when I was in ignorance of the knowledge of Christ and his finished works on the cross. The ignorance of Christ and his finished works on the cross have given believers wrong mindset in their walk with God. Many believers have been doing good deeds for wrong reasons because the want to please God by their works instead of living by what Christ had already done for us and do good works. WRONG TEACHINGS AND FALSE DREAMS INTERPRETATION HAVE LEFT MANY BELIEVERS IN THE QUANDARY OF SERVING GOD IN ORDER TO ESCAPE HELL FIRE INSTEAD OF SERVING GOD TO ENJOY THE RELATIONSHIP HE HAD MADE FOR MAN IN CHRIST WHEN WE BELIEVE. One thing we should get clearly is that God cannot reward us with everlasting life based on our works .It is a gift of grace to those who believe in Christ not a reward to those who work for it.   J...

  A BELIEVER DOES GOOD NOT EVIL  GAL 6:10 AS WE HAVE THEREFORE OPPORTUNITY, LET US DO GOOD UNTO ALL MEN, ESPECIALLY UNTO THEM WHO ARE OF THE HOUSEHOLD OF FAITH. The main reason Christ came to take away sin for man is for man to become totally good and do good. (John 1: 29) ¶ The day after, John sees Jesus coming to him and says, See, HERE IS THE LAMB OF GOD WHO TAKES AWAY THE SIN OF THE WORLD! BBE This means that man supposed no more be walking with the heart of sin but the hearts of love. The heart of evil has given way for the hearts of love the day we received Jesus Christ as our lord and Savior. This means that a believer walks with the mind of Christ not the mind of man which is soaked in unbelief.   1CO 2:16 FOR WHO HATH KNOWN THE MIND OF THE LORD, THAT HE MAY INSTRUCT HIM? BUT WE HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST This was the heart of man. JEREMAIAH 17:9 THE HEART IS DECEITFUL ABOVE ALL THINGS, AND DESPERATELY WICKED: WHO CAN KNOW IT? 10 I the LORD search the hea...

  WE HAVE TO LIVE THROUGH CHRIST The actual meaning of being born again is being born into Christ by the in corruptible seed of the word of God. It is forever- abiding- seed. It is not of man. 1PE 1:23 HAVING BEEN BORN AGAIN, NOT OF CORRUPTIBLE SEED BUT INCORRUPTIBLE, THROUGH THE WORD OF GOD WHICH LIVES AND ABIDES FOREVER . It is different from being born of the seed of man which is the sperm seed. JOHN 3:6 THAT WHICH IS BORN OF THE FLESH IS FLESH; AND THAT WHICH IS BORN OF THE SPIRIT IS SPIRIT   Apart from Christ who is the word made flesh, the other beings who are associated by the word by birth are the New Creation…those who are born into Christ by grace through faith. These are the sons of God by faith in Christ and are led by the SPIRIT OF GOD. …Not by culture and or   tradition.   JOHN 1:12 BUT AS MANY AS RECEIVED HIM, TO THEM GAVE HE POWER TO BECOME THE SONS OF GOD, EVEN TO THEM THAT BELIEVE ON HIS NAME. 1JOHN 4:9 IN THIS WAS MANIFESTED THE LOVE...
