  • ALL OUR SINS HAVE BEEN PAID FOR BY THE CHRIST.

    We have already been forgiven, if we put our faith in Christ.

    A fountain is opened for us, once we believe all our sins have been forgiven.

    It is the case of the Adam in the image of God, who moves on to become in His likeness, from outside of the house, to inside the house, in the master bedroom, where he bursts forth in the glory of God, in His likeness.

    We have been forgiven, but we are being washed. This is the process of sanctification, one house going down, the house of sin, another house going up, the house of righteousness and holiness of the LORD.

    The Bible says if we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves and we make God a liar, but if we confess our sins , he is faithful and just to forgive us all our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. The Bible also says he that is born of God does not commit sin, for his seed remaineth in him. Anyone who believes his sins have all been paid for does not have any sin, all his sins are on Jesus, he can not sin. Though, we can not say we do not sin, sometimes we walk in the flesh, and we do sin. If we say we no more sin, we make God a liar.

  • THE PRIDE OF LIFE.

    1 John 2:15-17;

    15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
    16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
    17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
    Lust of the flesh, Epithumia Tes Sarkos, lust of the eyes, Epithumia Ton Ophtalmon, pride of life, Alazonia Tou Biou.

    I have always wondered why the word Alazonia should be translated pride, but actually it is the right translation. Around here, it is very common for people to say they know someone high up in the position of power. They might say they know the person well, even if they just met the person only once in their life. Usually people like to say they know one important politician, or the other. I guess the same thing might be in other parts of the world, though it might not be as rampant, as here.
    These people feel if they say they know someone important, then that makes them important too. This is an example of the pride of life. We could give numerous other examples.
    People with the love of God, Agape, do not exhibit the pride of life, but they are very humble, like the Christ.

    The word Bios means life (Biou is declined from Bios). It is a different kind of life from Zoe, the God life. Alazonia (pronounced Alazoneia) is from the Greek word Alazon, to be a braggart, to boast. Some people here, when they preach, they keep on telling their congregation how many foreign countries they’ve been to, they keep on bragging. This is when we rely on the arm of the flesh, when we lead the life of Bios, like the “rich fool” in the Bible, rather than live the life of Zoe. When we lead the life of Zoe, we walk in love, the love of God, Agape. We have the humbleness of mind, we walk in humility.

  • IT IS GOD WHO MAKES US RIGHTEOUS.

    Genesis 44
    King James Version (KJV)

    1 And he commanded the steward of his house, saying, Fill the men's sacks with food, as much as they can carry, and put every man's money in his sack's mouth.
    2 And put my cup, the silver cup, in the sack's mouth of the youngest, and his corn money. And he did according to the word that Joseph had spoken.
    3 As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away, they and their asses.
    4 And when they were gone out of the city, and not yet far off, Joseph said unto his steward, Up, follow after the men; and when thou dost overtake them, say unto them, Wherefore have ye rewarded evil for good?
    5 Is not this it in which my lord drinketh, and whereby indeed he divineth? ye have done evil in so doing.
    6 And he overtook them, and he spake unto them these same words.
    7 And they said unto him, Wherefore saith my lord these words? God forbid that thy servants should do according to this thing:
    8 Behold, the money, which we found in our sacks' mouths, we brought again unto thee out of the land of Canaan: how then should we steal out of thy lord's house silver or gold?
    9 With whomsoever of thy servants it be found, both let him die, and we also will be my lord's bondmen.
    10 And he said, Now also let it be according unto your words: he with whom it is found shall be my servant; and ye shall be blameless.
    11 Then they speedily took down every man his sack to the ground, and opened every man his sack.
    12 And he searched, and began at the eldest, and left at the youngest: and the cup was found in Benjamin's sack.
    13 Then they rent their clothes, and laded every man his ass, and returned to the city.
    The Bible says in Romans 5:19, For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners: so by the obedience of one, shall many be made righteous. Benjamin was made a sinner as it were by his brother Joseph in the story above, and later in the story in Genesis 44, he was made righteous by the same brother, Joseph.

    The pastor, speaking at the church yesterday, asked if we would like to be like David, or we would like to be like Goliath, in the Bible. He also asked us if we would like to be like Samson, or if we would like to be like the jaw bone he used to kill the philistines. Of course everyone responded they would like to be like David, and like Samson, but the pastor said this would actually be wrong. David and Samson are actually like Jesus the savior, while we are like Goliath, and like the jawbone. Pastor Abel continued, God is the giver, and we are the receiver. Many times we think we can give God “something,” we think we can give God praise, while ultimately everything is for our own benefit, ultimately.
    We also think we are the ones who are sinners, while in actual fact, God made us sinners. So also, it is God who made us sinners, it is God who will also make us righteous. We think we can be righteous on our own, this we think we can do, by obeying the law of commandments. We think we can be righteous on our own. Actually it is God who made us sinners, it is He who will also make us righteous.

  • NIGERIA, STILL IN THE THROES OF DARKNESS.

    Nigeria is entering a very dangerous phase. The vision I saw on the day President Ibrahim Babangida is about to be fulfilled, in part.

    Contrary to what some people say Nigeria is not a mere geographical entity as some say, but is a group of people involved in a failing marriage, because of the selfishness of a particular group.

    Some particular groups in Nigeria actually understand each other, "they speak the same language."

    These groups are some of the Niger Congo spoken languages, the Afroasiatics, and some of the people of the languages spoken in the Niger Delta. They will form a federation.

    These particular groups form a house.

    There are some Muslims who are of the household of God. They are part of God's household, because God uses them, alongside His children.

  • WHAT IS THAT IN THINE HAND?

    Exodus 3:3-6
    King James Version (KJV)
    3 Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb.
    2 And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.
    3 And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.
    4 And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I.
    5 And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.
    6 Moreover he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God.

    Exodus 4:2-5
    2 And the LORD said unto him, What is that in thine hand? And he said, A rod.
    3 And he said, Cast it on the ground. And he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent; and Moses fled from before it.
    4 And the LORD said unto Moses, Put forth thine hand, and take it by the tail. And he put forth his hand, and caught it, and it became a rod in his hand:
    5 That they may believe that the LORD God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath appeared unto thee.

    Usually we have excuses in life. Some think they can not amount to anything in life, just because of the family they are born into. Actually the thing in life, which would make us succeed, is just right by us, just as the rod Moses was going to use to perform miracles in Egypt had always been with him. It could be that thing built into you by God, it could be that beautiful voice, or that beautiful face, it could even be that deformity you think you are ensnared with in life, that is why the rod can also be a serpent, at the same time.

    God told Moses, I am the God of thy father. One would have thought someone who married the sister of his father might not have a relationship with God, but he actually did. Later God told Moses He is the God of Abraham, Isaac, And Jacob, then He later told him He is the God of the Hebrews. The spectrum is wide, from a personal level, right down to the national level, and also mention is made of the family of faith, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob.
    You should not think the family you come from, or the blemish you might have in life, should obstruct you from doing the will, and work of God. There is a call to a higher family, the family of faith.
    Those who sought to kill Moses had died before God asked him, what is that in thine hand? God’s timing is perfect. Though we might have our own role to play, all depends on God, eventually.

  • AN ADAM IN THE IMAGE OF GOD, AND AN ADAM IN THE LIKENESS OF GOD.

    Genesis 1:9-17
    9 And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
    10 And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads.
    11 The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;
    12 And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone.
    13 And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia.
    14 And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates.
    15 And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.
    16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
    17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
    Genesis 5:1-5,
    5 This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him;
    2 Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.
    3 And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, and after his image; and called his name Seth:
    4 And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters:
    5 And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died.
    The Adam in the image of God was surrounded by water, the one in the likeness of God, no mention of water was made concerning him. An Adam is one in the image, OR in the likeness of God. Not everyone is an Adam, but the human race could be Adam, generally.
    We are told, as Adams, to go on from the image of God, to become someone in his likeness. Eden was in the east. That was where the commandment was given. The eastern form of consciousness is associated with laws, and the strict observance of laws, meanwhile the western form of consciousness is one of individualism, and is quite liberal. We could take the Adam in the image as one of the eastern form of consciousness, someone who suffers from Paranoid schizophrenia. For the Adam in the image of God, he needs to believe his sins have been washed completely, he needs to believe all his sins, past, present, and future, have been forgiven, so as to become an Adam in the likeness of God, this is one in the likeness of God, the Adam in the likeness of God, one with a western form of consciousness, one with a Bipolar Affective Disorder.
    The rivers in Eden, one of the them signifies the removal of impurities the removal of dross in the form of lead, lead, ‘orphereth. ‘or, with the letter Aleph means light, ‘or beginning with the letter Ayin, means skin.
    The Adam in the image must believe his sins have been fully forgiven, that is, he must take of the tree of life, he must not believe in the partial forgiveness of sin, he must not take of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, he must believe in the total forgiveness of sin.

    To be surrounded by water, in his Eden, means an Adam in the image, still needs to be washed from his sin, he was in quite a struggle with sin.

  • CHAWAH ; THE MOTHER OF ALL LIVING.

    The Chawah Eve, can come from any of the “mother relations” of an Adam. She could come from the mother nation of the nation of anAdam, she could come from the mother tribe or race of the tribe or race of an Adam, she could come from the city or village of the mother of an Adam (a word similar to Chawah means a village). She could come from any of the “mother relations” of an Adam. That is why the Bible says in Genesis 3:20;
    Genesis 3:20
    And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.

  • SPOKEN LANGUAGE AND PARANOID SCHIZOPHRENIA (PART 2).

    Language might be one of the root cause of Paranoid schizophrenia, not speaking the mother tongue, not understanding the Christ. If Christ has taken your sin away, if you are in a bedroom relationship with him, and you do not understand he has borne all your sins away, then you do not understand him.
    Schizophrenia is a "positional sickness, depending on how we are placed in "the house." In my father's house are many mansions says Jesus (mansions, the Greek word Monai, probably from the Greek word Meno, to remain. God expects us to remain in our place in Christ).
    If you are from the system of Niger Congo spoken languages, and you have a bedroom relationship with Christ, you might not learn a language from the system of languages of the Afroasiatic, for example, if you have not yet believed all your sins have been paid for by the Christ. This might be a sort of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil for you, whereas a component of the Afroasiatic, not in the actual sense, in which it, and the Afroasiatic, are of the eastern form of consciousness, this might be the tree of life for you.
    For example a purely Asiatic language, this might be the tree of life for you. In one of the posts on the different types of humans I explained some Asians are male and female, as well as two tribes of the Black race. In the case of the two tribes, they manifest as two people through which certain tribes of the Asians manifest. In the case of the Asians they manifest as two people invisible, manifesting through the visible Afican tribes.
    The visible containing the invisible represents the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, the invisible manifesting through the invisible represents the tree of life. And this is rightly so, certain languages like Korean, Japanese, and Chinese have their own independent classification. They are part of the house, but not included in it, they are invisible yet manifesting through the visible.
    Meanwhile the mother-wife, the Tsela' representing the mother language, is completely invisible, in part due to different types who can fulfil that role, but mainly so because cetain aspects of it are extinct. The mother tongue is no longer spoken. "And the whole earth was of one language and one speech." This one language and speech relates to the Christ.
    I believe all languages spoken are "mad languages." Hebrew and Greek in which the Bible is written, relates to the one language and thea one speech originally spoken by the human race. So learning Hebrew and Greek, this might actually cure Paranoid Schizophrenics in certain situations, each being the language in which the Bible is written. However, to developSchizophrenia, one must also move away from one’s east, which signifies the Christ, the tree of life.
    A BREEZY, VENTILATED PLACE AS A PANACEA TO PARANOID SCHIZOPHRENIA.
    The Bible says Adam and Eve heard the voice of the LORD walking in the garden in the cool of the day. The cool of the day, Leruach hayom literally means at the breeze of the day. A breezy environment is highly essential for people with Paranoid Schizophrenia. This affords them good sleep, deep sleep, and it would make it possible for the LORD God to cause a deep sleep to fall on the patient ( a Christian patient ) allowing a solution to be found to the health problem.
    The problem of Adam was he was in the image of God, he was entirely male in his nature without a female part corresponding to him. Others were made male and female. To be a complete healthy human being we have to be both male and female. That is, if we are male we should have the female counterpart corresponding to us internally, and then externally.
    I have said before, my knowledge of Medicine is not complete, but this might be the process of transiting from Paranoid Schizophrenia to Bipolar Affective Disorder, the operation of a patient by God through sleep, affording a female counterpart to be made accessible to a person both spiritually, and then physically.
    This transition is similar to the case of the transition of a "Moses" to that of a "Jesus," of a servant to that of a son (Hebrews 3), of someone outside of a house to someone within the house, of someone under the law to someone under grace, probably of someone who is an image of God to someone who is in His likeness. An Adam is either the image of God OR in His likeness.
    An image in the mirror, the left parts correspond to the right, and vice versa, but in the likeness the right parts correspond to the right, and the left parts to the left. The person in the image of God would probably be under sin like the first Adam in Genesis one, but an Adam in the likeness of God would be under grace, probably as the Adam in Genesis five would have been. The first Adam being in the image, corresponds to that which is after Satan, whereas the one in the likeness, to that which is after the LORD.
    For a Bipolar Affective patient to be completely healed both the male part, and the female part must "completely understand" themselves. It is like a marriage in which there is understanding.
    Adam in Genesis one had rivers flowing in his Eden. This is for the washing of sin, for the glory of God to burst out. He also exclaimed, This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh, she shall be called Eve; for she was the mother of all living.
    Why the mother of all living? That is so, because the mother of all living has relevance to his recovering his health, to his healing. If he would learn the mother language of his language, he would be healed. Also, if he would relate to the mother nation of his nation, he would be saved politically, being a ruler of his nation (he is to rule over the birds of the air, the fish of the sea, and the beasts of the field, these being symbolic of people who are still in the animal state). Also, if he would marry his Tsela’, typifified in relation to his his mother, his physical mother, he would be saved in his marriage. If shown a Tsela’ in a vision, she would be invisible (eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither hath it entered int to the heart of man, what God hath prepared for those that love him). She would be invisible, because, the Tsela’, the mother-wife, signifies so many things, in relation to an Adam.

    PARANOID SCHIZOPHRENIA AND ITS HEALING THROUGH THE POWER OF EROS.

    EYE HATH NOT SEEN, NOR EAR HEARD, NEITHER HATH IT ENTERED INTO THE HEART OF MAN.

    For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him.

    Isaiah 64:4

    This verse is also quoted in 1 Corinthians 2. Really, I think when we meet the bone of our bones and the flesh of our flesh, we have a complete revelation of God, in a way. This is probably why Adam exclaimed, this is now the bone of my bones and the flesh of my flesh. The skin 'Or is transformed into light 'Or by the glory of God, our flesh is transformed, we go from being bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh to bone of his bones and flesh of his flesh. This is one perspective on the Bible.

    1 Corinthians 2

    King James Version (KJV)

    2 And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God.

    2 For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.

    3 And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.

    4 And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:

    5 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

    6 Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought:

    7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:

    8 Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

    9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.

    10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

    11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.

    12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.

    13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

    14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

    15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.

    16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? but we have the mind of Christ.

    Yesterday at a Bible study the pastor said the only reason a man would leave his father and his mother is if his wife were the bone of his bones, and the flesh of his flesh. This is very true. I have written a lot on the topic so shall a man leave his father and his mother. When the Bible says so shall a man leave his father and his mother, it does not mean we should leave or forsake our parents, this would be quite unjust, what the Bible is saying is more than that, at a higher level. The following is one of my posts on so shall a man leave his father and mother.

    Isaiah 62

    For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth.

    And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory: and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the LORD shall name.

    Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God.

    Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate: but thou shalt be called Heph'zibah, 3 and thy land Beulah: 4 for the LORD delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married.

    For as a young man marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee: and as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee.

    I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of the LORD, keep not silence,

    and give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth.

    The LORD hath sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength, Surely I will no more give thy corn to be meat for thine enemies; and the sons of the stranger shall not drink thy wine, for the which thou hast labored:

    but they that have gathered it shall eat it, and praise the LORD; and they that have brought it together shall drink it in the courts of my holiness.

    Go through, go through the gates; prepare ye the way of the people; cast up, cast up the highway; gather out the stones; lift up a standard for the people.

    Behold, the LORD hath proclaimed unto the end of the world, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him.

    And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of the LORD: and thou shalt be called, Sought out, A city not forsaken.

    Genesis 2

    Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.

    And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.

    And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.

    Man in the Garden of Eden

    These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens,

    and every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.

    But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.

    And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

    And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.

    And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

    And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads.

    The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Hav'ilah, where there is gold;

    and the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone.

    And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia.

    And the name of the third river is Hid'dekel: that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphra'tes.

    And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.

    And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:

    but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

    And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a help meet for him.

    And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.

    And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found a help meet for him.

    And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept; and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof.

    And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.

    And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.

    Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

    And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.

    Beulah in verse 3 in Isaiah 62 is from the root word Ba'al, to be married, to be the Lord, to be the master. The word Desolate is Shemamah feminine of Shemem, ruined, desolate. Shemamah is translated in the King James Bible, devastation, astonishment, desolate, desolation, waste.

    Hephzibah is from the Hebrew word Chephets (khay'fets), desire, a valuable thing, pleasure, delight, delightsome, matter. These are some of the translations of Chephets in the King James Bible. Chephets can mean not simply what one takes pleasure in or what gives someone delight but one's wish or desire. Hephzibah means my delight (is) in her.

    Forsaken is from the Hebrew word 'Azav which is from a primitive root, to loosen, i.e relinquish, forsake, leave, leave off. 'Azav means to leave, forsake, leave behind, be left over, let go.

    So Adam was in his Eden, what we might term his "delightsome land." I said in a previous post, some time ago, Eden can be a place that is geographic in nature, it could be one's country for example, or it could be the whole wide world. God planted a garden in the east of Eden, eastward. I also said in that post Eden could also be represented by a house in a geographical location, in which all the elements of one's nation pertaining to one, are contained in that house, as well as all the elements of the world pertaining to one. Eden means pleasure, delight, enjoyment, typified by all the precious elements found in Eden (see my post Transformation
    , you can google it).

    I also mentioned the "son living in a house of his mother," in another post, the son, a type of Adam, living in the house of his mother, in a vision. An Adam is someone in the image of God, OR in the likeness of God, while the human race in general could also be termed as Adam.

    In the post of the son living in the house of his mother, I said the son was living in the house of his mother, in the bedroom. His best friend was also living in the house with him in the vision, alongside a married couple, the couple being a pastor and his wife from the eastern parts of the son's nation, and they were in the parlor of the house. The best friend, he being from the west of the nation of the son, was close to the bedroom of the mother of the son, very close to it, but not inside it. The pastor and his wife were also looking at the son, while averting him from the danger of taking from a bottle of wine from the refrigerator in the parlour of the mother's house. One could take this wine as a form of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

    The pastor and his wife were squinting their eyes like the eyes of some people from the eastern parts of the world (no offence meant, these eyes are symbolic of Christ). Later the son was to meet a pastor and his wife, exactly from that part of the world, who preached the correct form of salvation, of the true doctrine of Christ, a form of the "tree of life," in the east of the garden of Eden, for the son was ill of a particular incurable sickness, and he would be miraculously cured, by believing in the true doctrine of Christ.

    Meanwhile, the pastor and his wife, from the eastern parts of the son's country preached a doctrine of deliverance, a sort of counterfeit of the true doctrine of Christ of salvation by faith in the work of Christ on the cross, they preached people should come for "deliverance" in the name of Jesus Christ, even though Christ had delivered them by dying on the cross many years before. Their doctrine typified by the wine bottle in the refrigerator, typified the "tree of the knowledge of good and evil" from which the son was not to take, lest he die from his sickness.

    So a man shall leave his father and mother and shall be joined to his wife, the Bible states. The Bible also says in Genesis 3, "And Adam called the name of his wife Eve; for she was the mother of all living." What does the Bible mean when it says so shall a man leave his father and mother and shall cleave to his wife? This is one interpretation.

    We are not supposed to have our thoughts as Christians, we are no longer to lead our lives, but we are supposed to follow the leading of our Lord Jesus Christ. We are no longer to be our own master, but the Lord Jesus Christ is to be our Lord, our master, our Ba'al. We no longer have our thoughts, but we have the thoughts of the Lord. That is salvation, this is when we can say we are married to the Lord, this is, when we can say we have salvation. "I am crucified with Christ yet I live, and yet not I but Christ liveth in me, and the life I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me," says Galations 2:20.

    We are crucified with Christ on the cross, we also lead his life, this is salvation. With knowledge, we can now be healed of our sicknesses and diseases, being crucified with Christ at Golgotha, the place of the skull. The Bible says my people perish for lack of knowledge.

    So leaving our father and mother in this case is forsaking our thoughts which is the tree of the knowledge of good and evil (in the case given above, represented by the pastor and his wife from the son's country), and joining to our wife, Christ, represented by the pastor and his wife from the eastern part of the world, representing the tree of life.

    This is the reason some men and women find it difficult to marry. As long as we still have our thoughts, as long as we still lead our lives, it would be difficult to join to our Eve; the mother of all living. As long as we still worry it would be difficult to join to our Adams or Eves, but once we forsake our ways, like the Adam in the book of Genesis, when we fall into a deep sleep, it would be easy for God to bring the Eve to the Adam. We must forsake our ways, we must forsake our thoughts.

    I have also said many times the mother-wife as pertaining to an Adam as to do with the glory of God. We have sisters, sister-friends, and mother-wives. Eve which means a life giver was a mother-wife to the first Adam. An Adam is either in the image OR likeness of God.

    The Adam in the Bible would not die from his sickness, for Eve was a sort of life giver who made Adam see. By meeting her God was fully revealed to him, he "understood" God, in a way the glory of God was revealed to him, so he could exclaim, this is now bone of my bones, and the flesh of my flesh. He "saw" God.

    The Bible says the natural man, Psuchikos, can not receive the things of God: for they are foolishness to him, Psuchikos is from the Greek word Psuche, soul. However, the spiritual man Pneumatikos, does receive the things of God. His eyes are "open" to the things of God, for he now sees, having been transformed by the word of God. The word of God is sharper than any two edged sword, able to divide asunder the soul and spirit, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart, the Bible says in Hebrews 4:12. As long as we worry we still remain at the level of the natural man, we would not be able to see the things meant for us.

    THE LACK OF EROS; IT CONDUCTS AWAY FROM THE DIVINE TARGET.

    Really nothing is better than love. Annick De Souzenelle, a French Theologian has said Eros is at the root of man's ontology, the way out man's "exile" from the garden of Eden. Sin in the Bible is Hata', and it means to miss the mark. Flesh is Basar. If you remove the S from Basar, you are left with Bar, son. The letter S in Hebrew, the letter shin has the ideogram of a bow and arrow. The arrow is represented by the letter Zayin, which is a sword Herev, the word of God. Inside the bow flow Eros. We can not achieve the Divine target outside of Eros. Eros is not in the New Testament, but it is love in the ideal, the love between a man and a woman, it is not only sexual love, sexual love is part of it due to our state of the "exile." It was what sustained the Israelites in Egypt according to tradition, the wives would stand in front of the mirror and say to their husbands, Darling look at me, am I not beautiful! It is what makes a woman marry a man, though he is about to executed in eight days time. It is what makes a man traverse oceans and seas just for the love of his life, and also it is what makes a woman marry a man, even though he would be executed eight days later. Without Eros we could never achieve the Divine target of being sons of God. We could never translate all the information contained in our Flesh (Baser is the word to inform in Hebrew) into one which conducts into life (Zoe), one side of the sword of the word of God, but rather without Eros we miss the Divine target which only conducts to death, the other side of the sword of the word of God.

    Eros is about imagination, it helps in developing the Right Hemisphere of the brain. It is what makes a man and a woman hold hands in public, oblivious to the gaze of others, it is what makes the stars shine, the world to go round. Eros has its roots deep in chastity. We can then see, how people have bastardized the Valentine celebration, here in Nigeria.

    We can see the lack of Eros generally, and we can see the consequence in the pure water sachets on the streets everywhere, the lack of imagination in our films, and the lack of invention in the area of technology.

    The letter Shin is the symbol for man, being part of the Hebrew word for man, 'Ish.

    THE BONE OF MY BONES AND THE FLESH OF MY FLESH.

    Some say what we see physically is only a representation of the actual reality, that is, in the physical universe. At least that's what some philosophers say. For all we know we might be electrons and positrons, or some other fundamental particle at a higher level of consciousness, at a higher level, male and female, particle and antiparticle.

    Flesh, Basar in the Bible, is similar in form to Baser, to inform. The S in Basar is the letter Shin in Hebrew, the symbol for man. The letter Shin has an ideogramme like a bow and arrow. The arrow is represented by the Hebrew letter Zayin, whose symbol is a sword Herev, representing the word of God. Inside the bow flows Eros, in the bow and arrow. If you remove the S from Basar you get Bar, son. Man is 'Ish and woman is 'Ishah, in the Bible. Basically 'Ishah means a female man, just as some people say the word woman in English means a womb man. This is because of the AH ending in 'Ishah which makes it a feminine of the masculine 'Ish. The letter Shin is the symbol for man in the Bible.

    A corpse in Hebrew is Besorah, and also to publish the good news, declare good news. The "son of God" must be "dead" and in Christ, and publishing the good news, just as Adam was doing in the garden of Eden, by keeping and guarding the garden. Eden means pleasure, enjoyment. In fact, because he is "dead" that is why he is in Christ in the first place. The man and woman contain the same basic information. We talk of information technology. They contain the basic information in the cosmic temple, which is God's habitation. In this regard the word translated rib, Tsela', is also used for the sides of the Ark of the covenant in the temple, and for the beams in the temple. I mean the rib that was taken from Adam. The man and the woman basically "understand each other," they speak the same language, the same types of "words," they are in the Word, Jesus Christ. Words physically are forms of energy. That is why the virtuous woman is described with each verse commencing with a different Hebrew letter in order, and all the twenty two Hebrew letters complete, in the twenty two verses. The man and the woman have the same capacity for Eros for each other.

    I think an Adam, a son of God, would know his bone of his bones and flesh of his flesh, because his wife would declare a good news to him, she is also a Neged (something or someone opposite, also someone who declares good news) from 'Ezer K'genedo, a help meet for man, a helper. One's bone of bones and flesh of flesh is an helper (from one's problems, the problems could be medical, social etc). She's an 'Ezer, a helper, from the Hebrew word 'Azar, to support, to surround. I doubt if a man could say this is the bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh, except he is a son of God, an Adam, in the body of Christ. She is the bone of his bones because she belongs to his spiritual household, to his "spiritual house" composed of a spiritual mother, Christ, and also God, the Father.

    Trees 'Etsem in Hebrew is made of tree 'Ets, and the words 'Em and 'Em (one starts with letter Aleph the first Hebrew letter, the other starts with the letter 'Ayin, 'Ayin is the word for the eyes also). 'Em and 'Em are one's patriarchal and matriarchal families respectively. She is physically somehow related to an Adam's mother side, but she is of the household of God, the Father, "and Adam called the name of his wife Eve; for she was the mother of all living." Tree, 'Ets, is important because both share in the same "tree of life" and the same "tree of the knowledge of good and evil."

    PARANOID SCHIZOPHRENIA AND ITS HEALING THROUGH THE POWER OF EROS.

    There is no perfect refrigerator, that would disobey the second law of Thermodynamics, which in one form says entropy for an irreversible process must be greater than zero, one way of describing time which always moves forward, and not backward.

    Eternity can be represented by the tree of life, and the Spirit. Time can be represented by the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, and the flesh.

    Paranoid Schizophrenia can be healed by the power of Eros, by an Adam going back to his east, to his east, where Christ dwells.

    Schizophrenia, we can liken it to an illness which is due to a lack of understanding (see my other posts on Schizophrenia), which is due primarily, because of sin. The one in the bedroom no longer understands his lover (the Christ), because of sin. He can no longer see nor hear, neither can any information from the Lord, any longer enter his heart. He is deaf to the voice of the Lord.

    It is like a refrigerator that has been damaged, there are two refrigerators, one is working, the other is damaged, its engine no longer working.

    So how can the refrigerator be repaired? By believing his sins have been forgiven, this is the way. Then he would be able to understand the Lord again. Practically, this translates in part to the power of Eros. Maybe, if we could get some drugs, using Statistical Mechanics, and the principle of entropy, it would be possible to cool down then engine of the brain, in the cells, thereby curing Paranoid Schizophrenia.

    How wonderful, the power of Eros, to heal Paranoid Schizophrenia!

  • GOD IS NOT SLOW IN ACTING.

    2 Corinthians 10:1-6
    King James Version (KJV)
    10 Now I Paul myself beseech you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, who in presence am base among you, but being absent am bold toward you:
    2 But I beseech you, that I may not be bold when I am present with that confidence, wherewith I think to be bold against some, which think of us as if we walked according to the flesh.
    3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:
    4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)
    5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
    6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.

    There is the general commandment from God, and there is also the specific commandment. Both of them are linked, the specific commandment usually follows from the general commandment.
    Jesus says this is the work of God, that you believe on him (Jesus) whom the father hath sent. That is a general commandment. To have victory over Satan and his cohorts, we should believe on the name of Jesus, we should believe our sins have been paid for by the Christ. All our sins that is, our sins, past, present, and future sins. Jesus did not do a half job, he took all our sins away.
    A specific command might be, you should not worry. Usually when we worry, we do not fully believe Jesus has taken all our sins away, for if we did, we would know he is in full control, having taken charge, and paid for all our sins. Jesus Christ has all power and authority; all have been delivered unto him.

    The Bible in the passage above says God is ready to revenge all disobedience, and bring to captivity all thoughts to the obedience of Christ, when our own obedience is fulfilled. The reason, therefore why God is always slow in acting is because of us. When our own obedience is fulfilled we would always find God is never slow in acting, it is because of us he is slow.
    Also the Bible says though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh. There is a walking in the flesh. Moses turned the rod into a serpent, in his confrontation with the magicians of Egypt. The serpent has to do with our flesh. Adam said this is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh.What does the serpent have to do with Christian warfare?
    The Bible says in Colosians 1:21-22, And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled in the body of hi his flesh through the death to present you holy and unblameable and unreprovaeable in his sight.

    The Bible also says in Colossians 2:6-7, As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him7 Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving22 :
    There is the fellowship of the suffering of Christ, there is the suffering of the flesh, because we walk in Christ in Christ Jesus, There is is the serpent of every situation in Christ. Christ expects us to be wise. Later on in the book of Colossians, The Bible

  • SO SHALL A MAN LEAVE HIS FATHER AND HIS MOTHER, AND BE JOINED TO HIS WIFE.

    Genesis Chapter 11

    1 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.

    2 And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.

    3 And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them throughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter.

    4 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.

    5 And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.

    6 And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.

    7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.

    8 So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.

    9 Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.

    In Genesis 11 the people spoke one language and one speech. The symbolism of building a high tower that would reach unto heaven typifies those of certain religions who try to reach God by their own effort and strength. They do not know their way of reaching God is false, and they have never even considered it. The Bible says servants obey your masters, masters love your servants. Through this, throughout the ages, the yoke of slavery which plagued humanity, in the christian world was broken. Certain religions would simply tell the servants to take up the sword, and kill their masters, so they would set themselves free.
    As I have said many times before, there is the east and west in Christ. The Bible says as the east is far from the west, so hath he separated our inquities from us. There is the east and west in Christ. Usually in the east, with the eastern form of consciousness, law has to be obeyed, the leader has to be obeyed, the law has to be followed. God gave Adam the commandment in Eden, he should not eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, in the east of the garden of Eden. He was chased out of the garden, and the Chrerubim were placed at the east of the garden, with flaming swords, to prevent him from eating of the tree of life, also at the garden of Eden.
    There was a river which was parted into four heads in Eden. The temple of Ezekiel, water flowed from the east east of the alter, and they reached higher levels gradually, to become a river one could swim in. The tabernacle and the temples were also oriented from the east, to the west. The rivers in Eden, breaking down their names, gradually, the glory of God bursts forth. It is not a coincidence the rivers were mentioned, the ones in Eden.
    Adam was not not the first human, but the first to be in the image of God. God made Adam in His image. An Adam is either someone in the image of God, or someone in His likeness. The Adam first mentioned in the Bible was in the image of God, the one mentioned in Genesis 5 was in the likeness of God. There is the first, and there is the last Adam. The last Adam is a quickening spirit, while the first Adam is a living soul. Jesus Christ is not the last Adam, the last Adam has a relation to Christ, being a son of God. Jesus is never called the last Adam in the Bible, but the Son of Man, and the Son of God, so all Adams have their origin from the Christ.

    So the Bible says so shall a man leave his father and his mother, and be joined to his wife. Take Eden (Eden means enjoyment, pleasure) as a place of fellowship, the Church. Adam being of the western form of consciousness, is advised to leave the east, the garden of Eden, and fellowship with the Christ in the west, where the Glory of God resides (the holy place, and the holy of holies are situated in the west of the tabernacle). The east is always a place of danger, being where the serpent resides, and also where the tree of the knowledge of good and evil is. So where the tree of life is, in the east, Adam was born into the kingdom of God, but is now enjoined to leave that place in Christ, and be joined to his wife, in the west. So shall a man leave his father, and his mother, and be joined to his wife. The ultimate fellowship is the one we have with Christ, it is superior to the the one we ave with believers.
    So the tower represents those of the false religions, those who move away from the east, they believe they can reach God by their own way. The only thing that can result from such is confusion, and “babbling.” No wonder to remind man he has to move back to Christ, the first sign that was given at Pentecost was the gift of speaking in tongues, reminding humanity, she has to go back to that one language, and one speech, which is Christ. To understand Christ we have to have his mind, which means we have to obey his commandments.
