Galatians 6:1-2
Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.

*THE SEED.*
James:1.21
Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and *humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you.*

1 Peter:1.23
*For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God.*

*Introduction*
The seed is the basic unit of any life. It may be small, it may be insignificant when you look at it, it may be light or even microscopic. However, every seed is potent with life and is able to grow to full stature according to its kind. The seed needs the right environment and conditions in order to thrive and bear fruit.

*Message*
*God's way of multiplying*
God has worked with seeds since the beginning of time. He doesn't do a population. He just make some seed and protect the seed till it begins to reproduce. In the case of man, God made Adam as the seed bearer of mankind and Eve as the suitable environment for the growth of the seed. By this pattern, the humans multiplied to now almost filling the earth.

In the case of the flood, God wanting to save some celestial animals commanded Noah to take some animals in the ark make and female. These were the seed bearers and seed nurturers/rearers so as to preserve the species.

*Forms of seeds*
Physical tangible seeds are a representation of the intangible seeds which also when planted can bear fruit if it falls on the right ground.

*Seeds of words*
All great revolutions were started or sparked by a word from someone. The first revolutionary who used this tactic is the enemy. In the garden, he planted a word in the mind of Eve and her husband that was with her and they ate from the forbidden tree.

Someone said, "an idea is fought with another idea." Another one said, "an idea that is of age cannot be stopped but implemented." Its all about seeds of words! Men were made with a will. The ability to make a choice when given options. Satan capitalises on this powerful tool of creation. He keeps whispering crazy things in ears of men and make it sound good and men begin to fantasize. This is what we call meditation. Meditation is actually fertilizing the seed unto growth and soon, the impact will be felt both in actions and lifestyle. Take care of what you hear. You must learn to discard some ideas as soon as they appear since they are whispers of the enemy of your soul.

Evil thoughts are actually what births all manner of evils that you see even among believers. Non-believers have a nature problem but not believers.

*The Word as a seed*
The nature of man became corrupt when they received an evil seed in their spirit and the whole nature of man was corrupted and HIS HEART WAS INCLINED TOWARDS EVIL and this greatly grieved God time and again. Man could not think or do things upright anymore because he had the nature of sin at his core. He failed at his attempts to be the best. Pride overruled him and he became so self centered and selfish such that his focus was no longer on others, on environment and on governing righteously.

God in His eternal plan knew that a seed can only be countered with a seed. Nevertheless, the Old seed of sin and death had first to be dealt with Once for all so as to plant His seed in a clean environment. Jesus died as sin so as to do away with the old man of sin and so plant the seed of the new man to thrive.

In His teaching on the parable of the sower, Jesus said, _Luke:8.11 "This is the meaning of the parable: The seed is the word of God."_
In another place in a different parable and different context but still applicable here, Jesus said, _Matthew:13.37 He answered, "The one who sowed the good seed is the Son of Man."_

This seed, is what causes the difference for it is planted in the hearts of men as the listen to the gospel. Paul reveals the effect of the Word as producing faith. For he says, _Romans 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God._

The parable of the sower reveals three grounds that receive the seed but the seed does not fruit to multiply. But the fourth grew and multiplied thirty, sixty and hundred times what was sowed.

*Effects of the Seed in a man*
The seed of the Word is first all incorruptible or imperishable. It is the eternal Word of God. James encourages the believers to ACCEPT the Word planted in them that is able to SAVE them. How does it save you? When believed upon, it produces tremendous faith that saves the soul of the bearer. The Word outgrows the old mind and thoughts through meditation. It is in meditation it is encouraged to grow and thrive. Eventually, the mind of Christ replaces the mind of the old man already done away with on the cross. When the Word grows in a believer, such a believer is full of life and flows life from within and its a delight sitting with such a person. A believer becomes a life giver.

*Conclusion*
To see your life change for better, go for the Word of God. It is the seed you need. Set your heart to accept the Word the Son of man plants into your heart. Finally, actively refuse every bad seed of corrupted words from without in the polluted world. Shalom.

*THE SPIRIT WHOM WE HAVE RECEIVED*
*Introduction*
There are many spirits. Some spirits are holy while others are vile. The vile spirits are the fallen celestial beings. Angels are spirit beings and are holy. They are God's messagers. Fallen spirits (evil/vile) seek to express themselves and influence the earth by lodging themselves in or on people's physical bodies and at times, the souls of the unsuspecting humans. They greatly influence peoples actions and reactions. Never let these vile spirits seat of you. Every spirit expresses or manifests through its victim for what it is. There is nothing to be scared about these. Jesus Christ has defeated them all and so it is ours to walk in this victory in His Name. It is our heritage to be free from their oppression and influence. For is is for freedom's sake Christ suffered, died and rose from the dead.

In this discourse, I will not discuss the other celestial spirit beings such as the seraphim, cherubim, angels, arch angels, the living creatures and their God given functions. I want us to study Him who we have been given for believing in the Lord Jesus Christ.

*Moses Desire*
Moses once challenged Joshua son of Nun for reporting some two men who were to be part of the assembly of the Lord but never appeared but when the time to share the Spirit who was upon Moses came, even though the two men stayed in the camp, the Spirit came upon them and they started to prophesy. Joshua sought the permission that these two men be SILENCED but the reply of Moses is very intriguing for he said, _*"are you jealous for my sake? I wish ALL God's people were prophets."*_ What a desire!

*Joel's Prophecy*
God through Joel spoke of a time that would come when He would pour out His spirit on ALL flesh whose effect shall be visions by young men and dreams for the old men. Servants of God both male and female would prophesy in that time. The prophets desired to see the fulfilment of these glories. Good news is, they are already here.

The precedence of the dispensation of the sons of God was demonstrated by none other than the Lord Jesus Christ Himself. He was born by a virgin as a man and lived an ordinary life until that day when He was baptised in Jordan by John and the heavens opened and the Spirit descended on Him and rested. John testifies, _"I would not have recognised Him except that the One who sent me told me said, 'it is He who the Spirit shall come upon and REMAIN.' "_ From that day hence forth, the manifestation of who He was, was evident; a son of God.

*Isaiah's Prophecy*
_Isaiah:11.1 A shoot will come up from the stump of Jesse; from his roots a Branch will bear fruit. 2 *The Spirit of the LORD will rest on him-- the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of power, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD-- 3 and he will delight in the fear of the LORD.* He will not judge by what he sees with his eyes, or decide by what he hears with his ears;.._

All sons of God exhibit these things in a messure as they grow in the knowledge of the Lord. I am convinced that the time is at hand where we will witness the sons of God walking on this planet reigning as the lords that they are, speaking uncommon wisdom and expressing a great understanding of many mysteries, possessing the most unique and undeniable counsel and walking in power and great authority, speaking knowledge that has not been written in books nor taught in classroom for it shall be revealed to them and walking in the fear of the Lord. To fear the Lord is to shun evil. You haven't feared the Lord yet if you entertain what is evil and people are comfortable doing their evil in front of you.

*Fulfilment*
Moses' desire, Joel's and Isaiah's Prophesies are fulfilled. All God's children are prophets on the account of receiving the Holy Spirit. Have you received the Holy Spirit after you believed in the Lord Jesus? If in doubts, please be sure. How? Ask the Father to fill you and He wont delay in this matter. _"If you even though are evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who art in heaven GIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT TO THOSE WHO ASK HIM?"_ You see? Its all yours for the asking. Ask and it shall be given unto you. Asking and receiving is a divine principle. Go ahead, ASK anything in His Name and He promised to do it.

In Christ Jesus, we are made NEW CREATION. The new creation is made in true RIGHTEOUSNESS AND HOLINESS just as the Son of God Jesus is. The new creation is made in likeness to the man from heaven. And these children of God have received the same Spirit the first born of God received after baptism. It means that they can live and manifest the supernatural life that Jesus lived and manifested on the earth. What a privilege! What an honour! What a dispensation!

The New creation man is one with the Lord. He is made in the exact likeness of the Son of God Jesus Christ. Its not a wonder the whole company of sons of God is called THE BODY OF CHRIST with Jesus being the HEAD OF THE BODY. The same Spirit which flows in the head is the same which flows in the whole body. Sons of God need to fully awaken to their new identity and reality and exploit it fully.

The reason why the sons of God are the solution to the suffering/frustrated creation is because they have received the Spirit of sonship by whom they call out to the Father God. The Scriptures say that _"as He (Jesus) is, so are we in this world."_ This is deep. And also it says that, _"those who have believed in the Lord are ONE WITH HIM in Spirit."_ It is in the light of this unique oneness that we shall be able to walk in the seven dimensions the Lord walked in as revealed by the prophet Isaiah. This is the Spirit whom we have received. We have not received Him in vain, have we? Selah.
Shalom.

Please,stop teaching things contrary to The Finished Work Of Christ and stop confusing the saints.

Where and when did Jesus Christ say that a Believer needs to "gain stature" and "gain rank" in the spirit first, before he can cast out devils,heal the sick and perform miracles?

What stature and rank can be greater than someone being One with Christ?

That Divine Union and Oneness is the "stature" and the "rank" needed when it comes to healing the sick,casting out devils and walking in the miraculous.

This religious nonsense must stop.

Paul didn't pray to have the power of God, but to have the revelation of what can be accomplished by God's power that is resident in the Believers.

The Church had been casting out devils with ease long before the teachings on demonology and witchcraft invaded the Church.

Scriptural Principles For Walking In The Impartations We Have Received. 01

Principle Number One:

KNOWING WHAT YOU HAVE RECEIVED!

While some of God's children did not know what exactly it was that they received when they were imparted,some function below the possibility they have been brought into because they do not know that there is more to what they think they have received.

For instance,I have asked some Believers to tell me Who and what they received when they received the Holy Spirit.
Some of them told me that THEY RECEIVED TONGUES BUT THEY STILL LACKED POWER.

I told them that they have received power when they received the Holy Spirit according to Jesus Christ.

Acts 1: 8. But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

I told them that what they received is MORE THAN TONGUES,that they have been brought into Oneness with Christ (1 Corinthians 6:17) and that they're now GOD'S MOBILE TEMPLE.

2 Corinthians 6: 16. And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I WILL DWELL IN THEM, AND WALK IN THEM; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

I also told them that when the Holy Spirit came to live in them,He came with everything He has in His fullness..
And that means they have access to everything that belongs to the Holy Spirit.

Some Believers believe that when Paul said in 1 Corinthians 12:8-10 "To one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom, to another word of knowledge by the same Spirit etc", he was letting us know that no single Believer has all those nine gifts he mentioned,and that we individually can only function in some of those gifts and not in all of them.

If they only knew that they have received all those gifts when they received the Holy Spirit,they would have been more open to the operations of ALL the gifts and not limit themselves to one or two.

When I came into that understanding,I expected the manifestations of ALL those gifts through me.
And I have walked in and still walking in all of them.

In reality,I have actually seen all the nine gifts manifest through me in a single meeting on Sunday morning while I was a guest minister in one of the branches of RCCG back in 1997.
Hallelujah!

When you know what you have received,it is easy for you to walk in it.

Peter said to that lame man at the Beautiful Gate
".... SUCH AS I HAVE, GIVE I THEE..."
Peter knew what he had received and it was easy for him to walk in the reality of it.

It is therefore important for us to know exactly what we have received through an impartation and what possibility we have been brought into.

Do we know what we have received?

*DOORS/GATES*
*Introduction*
Doors are legal entrances into facilities and entities such as Cities, Homesteads, Schools, Colleges, Hospitals, Companies, Houses, Rooms, to mention just but a few. Doors therefore give us access. Use of other entrances in facilities with doors amounts to illegality and its considered malicious and criminal.

*Spiritual Doors*
Just as there are physical doors/gates, there are also spiritual doors. Just as physical doors open and closes, so also do spiritual doors as well.

*Ancient Times*
The people in ancient times never built cities without fortified walls and posted guards on their gates. All those of good will used the gates but the trouble makers broke through the walls. With a wall and gates shut, that city was considered safe.

Jericho was a fortified city. Its sight and its locked gates were intimidating to anyone who thought of conquering it. However, the natural does not have a formula of stopping the divine and so God gave formula of how to break Jericho. Jerusalem was fortified city too complete with gates which were guarded. Samaria too was a city with gates. Gaza, where they locked in Samson when Philistines learned of his presence visiting with a pr******te was a gated City. Unfortunately, there catch was too strong to shut gates over. He pulled the gate from its foundation and escaped away wiitsit on his shoulder only to abandon it up an hill. These are just but examples of gates mentioned in the Old Testament.

There is one gate that is mentioned and is quite special in the Old Testament. Jacob was on his way to uncle Laban's place when night caught up with him. He slept at a place he later named Bethel for the experience. In his dream he saw a ladder (a stairway) that opened into the heavens and Angels descending and ascending on it. What a vision!

When Jesus was challenged by Nathaniel and told him that before Phillip called him he was sitting under a sycamore fig tree, he exclaimed that indeed Jesus was the promised one to which Jesus replied, "you have not seen anything yet. You will see the angels of God descending and ascending on the Son of man." Remarkable! Jesus is interpreting Jacob's dream saying, "I am the Way." Later Jesus will make another bold declaration that, "He was the gate!" He is the Way to heaven and the DOOR/GATE in which anyone who wish to enter uses to reach God. He is the narrow door and the narrow path that lands you into abundant Life. Narrow because, He is the ONLY WAY, the only option anyone can take to make it to heaven. There is no other open way and door to heaven but Jesus Christ. One day, this way and door will be shut to many's loss.

Doors do not just open. If you see an open door, someone opened it. Its up to you to decide if its wise to walk through it or not. Yes, wisdom is vital utilising open doors. Some doors lead into trouble. Others lead into deep entanglement and irreparable messes. Some doors are just enemies trap. Great discernment is needed when you find open doors. Good news is, even God throws doors open for us.

The two unique trees in the garden of Eden were doors that opened into the described realms. One real was of good and evil. If man chose to eat of this, it would make him KNOW (IN*******SE) with both good and evil but if he chose the tree of Life, it would open him into the realm of Living forever. Sadly, he chose the former and was denied the chance of eating the latter. Nevertheless, all was not lost. The tree of Life has been reintroduced to us in the person of Jesus Christ. This door of Life eternal is wide open. Walk in through it into untold joys. Believe you me when I tell you, Jesus is the tree of Life. He oozes with Life. He said, _"I came that they may have life and have it more abundantly._" You see? Be wise, eat of the tree of Life now its available.

There are doors that are closed but can be opened through knocking. _"Knock knock and the door shall be opened to you."_ Knocking is simply earning the attention of the gate keeper. If the door keeper is pleased with you and finds you worthy to let you in, you will be let in. There are other doors which are closed but you can open them at will without knocking. These are doors in which you are the gate/doorkeeper.

Your heart (the inner room of man) has a door. This door, you are the keeper. Not even the Lord forces Himself into it. He too knocks. The gentle Lord violates no one's will. He enters the hearts of those who answered the knock on the door. Have you answered His knock yet? Be wise! He wills to come in and dime with you in the inner chambers.

To His own, Jesus says, _"the door I open, no one can close."_ When He gives access, no one can stop you from accessing what the Lord has allowed you into. Not relatives, not bad eyes and evil tongues, not the leaders or the religious elites, no one. The gifts of God are irrevocable; they are without repentance! When the Lord swings the door open, walk right in through it without fear or dreaded with what ifs.

Jesus also tells His own, _"and the door which I close, no one can open."_ The Lord loves His own more than His own can ever love Him. There are doors He slams shut on our faves because because He know that one step through them is destructive. He knows if we enter or access the inside of those rooms, our goose is cooked. He cannot stand it losing you and so slams shut the door/gate to destruction. Can you relate? Some of all those lost opportunities you whine about could have destroyed you but the Lord is all knowing and so helped you but denying you access.

Finally, Jesus said, _"upon this rock I will build my church upon which the gates of hades shall not prevail"_ He had a plan to take the control of those gates. When He rose from the dead he had the keys of those gates. He testifies in Rev 1:8 "I am the living one, I was dead but now live forever more and with me are the KEYS of death and HADES." He who has the keys to a door has authority to open and close a door at will. Christ will not open the gates of hell against His Church. Live not in fear of devils and demons. The Lord got the key and see, He cares for His body so much. You are His body, the Church. He remains open into the heaven. He wants you to access heaven and not hell more. Shalom.

*THE PROPHETS AND PROPHECIES*
Greetings in the Name of Jesus. The prophetic dimension of humans have always been with man since the fall of man. Prophets are men endowed with a special gift of seeing beyond the natural realm, can see many years past or many years to come and most importantly, the now mind of God.

In the Old Testament, we see both genuine prophets and fake prophets. A fake or false prophet is one who serves without a calling into the same or one who uses another spirit other than of God to prophesy or one who serves a pagan god that is no God at all.

In the New Testament we also meet genuine and fake prophets. Each of these will receive a just reward from God.

Genuine prophets don't just predict but they draw deep from the mind of God and His purposes regarding all the prophetic words they release.

Paul was a man who was full of faith, full of grace and full of the Holy Spirit. By the auction of the Spirit, Paul was compelled to go to Jerusalem. However, the Lord didn't reveal all about his arrival and what shall happen to him when there but used prophets. These prophets would clearly see in the Spirit that Paul was headed to untold persecution. They told Paul about it and urged him to refrain from going to Jerusalem. If Paul refrained, it would have been disobedience on his part so he purposed to obey even if it meant death.

Here is the point, when a prophetic Word is released, it must be interpreted by the Spirit. You see, in the case of Paul, only he alone was connecting the dots, i.e God can lead you into a path full of hardships and troubles. He wanted Paul to be ready for what was ahead of him for he purposed that governors Felix and Festus should hear the hospel as they tried Paul in Caesar's court. King Agrippa too was to hear the gospel as he listened to Paul defend himself and finally the Emperor Caesar himself would receive the message of the gospel. All the happenings fulfilled Jesus words, "they will arrest you and bring you before kings but do not worry, the Spirit will give you words that even your accusers will not be able to contradict and that it may be an opportunity for them to hear the gospel." (Paraphrased)

No Word comes from God's mouth that is in vain. If God has spoken, it is what He has said. His purposes cannot be thwarted in any way. At times, it seems as if the wave is too strong and overpowering the Word of God. That is just but the enemy trying to counter or oppose the Word of God but he finally fails and bows out. Never doubt God. Trust Him even when all have fallen away.

Has God given you a message for us, speak it boldly and let Him follow His Word.

*Shalom.*
