Substance Over Form (II)

Substance Over Form (II)

 There seems to be a disturbing trend within the confines of Christianity today, it manifest in the manner whereby Christians embrace a form of godliness but ignoring the substance upon which the form is built. 

 What then is this substance? The substance is the life of christ manifesting in righteousness, it is christ in us the hope of glory. It is the expression of the dunamis power of God in the life of a true believer. It is the in dwelling power of God in us. Infact, it is eternal pentecost within us.

 We are to earnestly crave and pursue the substance of our salvation over the form. The form of life could be deceitful and misleading but the substance is a sanctuary of rest and protection. The substance is light that shine through unto the brighter day.

 My prayer on this beautiful and quiet Sunday is that we live our life via and through the substance of faith not through the deceits of form and mediocrity  in Jesus name Amen!

Counter Productive Ambition

God, I am not trying to rule the roost, I don't want to be king of the mountains. I haven't meddled where I have no business or fantasized grandiose plans,  Psalm 131:1, (Message Bible) One of the projectiles of the kingdom of darkness against the modern day believer in these last days is the crisis of miscalculated and over-ambitious pursuit for our place in life and destiny. The idea is to set us up against God.  It manifest in the form of substituting the place of spirituality with the premises of carnality and vain human logic that amounts to Nought. We try in vain to skillfully apply the wisdom of the world to effects the manifestation of Divinity on earth. We also foolishly try to fast track the turn of events in our life with sheer disregard for div ine timing and the climax of it all amounts to frustration, self instigated  delay and destiny truncation. It is also counter productive. We must learn to pursue our ambition on the same pace with G...

Repairing the Breaches

Image
Then Elijah said to all the People, “come near to me.” So all the people came near to him. And he repaired the altar of the Lord that was broken down.  (1 Kings 18:30, NKJV) A spiritual peek into the lives of the nations and that of men around us reveals ruins of broken down place of worship that has fallen into a state of disrepair and neglects. The personal and the cooperate prayer altars of men and nations has become broken down to the extents that they now qualify to be called museum of past encounter. The personal and cooperate altars of nation and individuals has become breached as a result of neglects and false worship. It has been become polluted by the offering of strange fires and the acts of falsehood by the people.  When the Altar of men are in disrepair, the lives of men become altered.  Until the altar of nations are fixed and repaired, the grip of darkness over the land would not be loosed. When the altar of the lord in the lives of...

Listening

"Now then, my sons, listen to me And do not depart from the words of my mouth." (Proverbs 5: 7) The hustling and the bustling in our world today has altered and transformed our relationship with God. It has become the noise that drowns and dwarves every voice that contains an express word for God's people.  We have become so used to the noise in the world that we have lost touch with the person of the Word (Jesus) speaking into our lives. The din of the noise emanating from the world has discounted the word that is meant expressly for us and for the high calling of God for our lives. We have missed so many key appointments in our spiritual calendar because of our inability to hear from God per time, per season! We mustn't fail to develop our own Listening Button as we go about the maze and the din of life and I see us overcoming the subtle trick of the devil in Jesus name Amen!  Monday Eleojo Paul #BeuHavi #DeepDevotionals #Listening ...
