The Sixth Sense

I believe Adam and Eve had more than five senses. I believe they had six senses, and the sixth was the most important of all senses. It was this sense they lost when they ate the fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

With the sixth sense, Adam and Eve were able to perceive the presence of God when He was in their midst. This sense in many ways can be called faith, thus resting in the complete ability of God. It could be a form of spiritual eyes.

But when Adam and Eve ate the fruit in Genesis 3:6, the scripture says in verse 7 that their eyes were opened. The eyes opened here are the physical eyes we use to see today. This was why they found out that they were naked. The reason was that they used their spiritual eyes to see all the while.

In 2 Kings 6 from verse 8, where the King of Syria sent his chariot and army to capture Elisha, Gehazi his servant panicked because of the great number of soldiers sent to capture his master and most likely himself. Elisha told his servant that those who are with them are more than the army. Verse 17 of 2 Kings 6 says, "And Elisha prayed, and said, “ Lord, I pray, open his eyes that he may see.” Then the Lord opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw. And behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha."

The eyes the Lord opened were the spiritual eyes, in other words, the sixth sense, the sense Adam and Eve lost at their fall.

Throughout Jesus' stay on earth, He operated having the sixth sense. He could sense the spirit realm normally. He told the Jews in John 5:19 "Then Jesus answered and said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner." Jesus, was always Spiritually alert because He saw with the sixth sense. In Matthew 16:23; and Mark 8:33, Jesus turned to Peter and rebuked Satan. This was because Jesus saw the spirit that was speaking through Peter. This was possible because Jesus used His sixth sense.

As Sons and Daughters of God, we are to walk by faith and not by sight (ref.: 2 Corinthians 5:7). In other words, we now have the sixth sense, and we are to use it when walking with the Lord. This should be our normal way of life, just as it was for Jesus. This was why He could walk on water, heal the sick, cast out demons, and calm the sea because using His sixth sense was normal for Him. Likewise, we should do all that Jesus did because all that He is, we have become. And we have the Holy Spirit living on the inside of us, who leads us into all truths.

Jesus said in John 6:63, that the words that He speaks are spirit and life. And only with the sixth sense can we ever perceive the spiritual things. This is why an ordinary man cannot understand or perceive spiritual things because he or she lacks the sixth sense.

The sixth sense is a sense of faith, that the Holy Spirit allows us to perceive things from the spirit realm as a normal way of life. This allows us to place spiritual things before physical things because the spiritual controls the physical.

Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!

Who Are You Looking At?

Children are a beautiful creation from God. They are filled with so much creativity that we adults wonder how they reason or develop such an idea. But when we look closely at these children we see semblance of character and language with their parent or guardian. As many would say, this is not always the case of genes because a foster child who behaves like the guardian isn't genetically related to that person. We see children behave this way because children often imitate what they see adults do, and by adults I mean the closest adults to them, which in many cases are their parents or guardians.

Parents may train a child, but the children pick what they see, and this includes language. So, if you teach a child a thing, but do a different thing, don't be surprised to see the child do what you do rather than what you teach.

It is believed that humans are born without any knowledge, and the first form of communication oftentimes moulds the person, unless another is being introduced as an addition, which oftentimes is the case. This happens through socialisation with parents, friends, and people often seen around.

God made Adam and Eve and was the only person they communicated with. Even if they could communicate with angels, the angels would only carry the message of God. This happened until an angel carried a message different from that of God that caused the deception of Eve and the eventual fall of man.

When God called Adam in Genesis 3:9, Adam replied in verse 10 "So he said, “I heard Your voice in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; and I hid myself.”" God then said verse 11, "And He said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you that you should not eat?”" Why did God say this?

There was only one reason, Adam said what God hadn't taught or acted before him. So, the only way this would have happened was because another form of knowledge, not from God had gotten into him. And this knowledge had corrupted his nature. The sinful nature.

Every man came from Adam and the sinful nature apart from being seen from one person before another, the nature which is contrary to that of God was a natural way of life, because this nature was different from that of God, and it is a sinful nature. The only way out is death.

And we all know that was why Jesus came to redeem us from the cause of sin, by dying in one life and raising up in another. And this other life is the life of Christ from God, and also why Jesus is the last Adam (ref.: 1 Corinthians 15:22, 45).

For all those who are born again, we have Jesus as their Adam. But this time, His Spirit lives on the inside of us (ref.: 1 Corinthians 3:16, 6:19). The good news is all of whom Jesus is, in His fullness, lives on the inside of us. And this includes His health, wealth, authority, dominion, and every other thing that pertains to our Lord Jesus, He has made us joint heirs with Him (ref.: Romans 8:17).

What this means is that as we are complete in Him in Spirit, in other words, we have become Him, we are to fix our eyes and mind on Him for the transformation of the renewal of our minds (ref.: Colossians 3:1-2 Hebrews 12:2).

We have no business with things outside of Christ. As we meditate on the word of God, we are searching for Christ to know who we have become. And the Holy Spirit teaches and interprets the scriptures to us, and leads us into how Christ Jesus is to live and go about His daily life.

But we don't all of a sudden manifest the fullness of Christ in its entirety, because our minds are still being renewed. This is why some who are born again live as those of the first Adam, due to ignorance. We should be careful about the things we see or listen to. And what we spend our time doing during the day. They should building you up in Christ.

So, the question I'm asking you is who are you looking at? This is because if we fix our eyes on Jesus, we live and manifest His life faster.

So, who are you looking at?

Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!

Just Trust the Process

Have you ever thought of taking note of all the experiences you face daily? Well, I know many keep diaries. But when you go through them, it is filled with adventures and faith or the need to apply faith, especially when you're a Son or Daughter of God.

As Sons and Daughters of God, we are to understand our true nature in Christ. That is, we must understand that we have become all that Jesus is. And that everything that we would ever need in our lives, the Lord Jesus has provided for us through His resurrection. All we need to do is believe.

When we experience situations such as health issues, we remind ourselves of scriptures that fall in line with the finished works of Christ Jesus. We keep confessing those scriptures to strengthen who we are, and where we stand. And eventually, we experience the healing that was ours in the first place, no emergency right?

But then again, there are emergency cases, a financial case where a person's rent is due and the landlord is putting out the person's things, or other bills that should be paid. At times, even though we know the word is true, we don't see it as a place to run to in this case. We may feel our faith isn't strong enough to confess and see results due to panic in the heart. In this case, what should we do? Just trust the process.

What process do I mean? The process of complete rest in Christ no matter what we face. The reason why we think confessing the word won't work is because we think we don't have enough faith, and nothing would happen with the lack of faith.

But Christ has given us victory over the situation even before we got into it. We just need to think of Him and not ourselves. We need to remember that He loves us more than we even love ourselves. If we would get someone out of the mess we are in, God would do even much more (ref.: Matthew 7:7-11; Luke 11:9-13). It is not about us but about Him. There is nothing too big that He hasn't handled already.

Even when Peter doubted when he walked on the sea and began sinking, Jesus reached out to him to save him, as he cried out to Jesus. This shows the great love Jesus has towards us despite our shortcomings in a state of emergency (ref. Matthew 14:27-32).

Ephesians 3:20 makes us understand that the fullness of God's power is on the inside of us, but it is left to us to release it to whatever portion we want to through faith. And the way we can release it by faith is to look at Him and not us. This allows Him to manifest in whatever situation we are going through. This is faith because it is our positive response that God has already done it. We walk by faith, not by sight (ref.: 2 Corinthians 5:7).

Just trust the process, because He will never leave us nor forsake us no matter what. It's all about Him, and not us. By remembering this and knowing that He has done it all, we confess Him to our emergency situation, and we see Him/His word take charge in our situations. Just trust the process. 

Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!

His Faith and Your Faith

To be a Son or Daughter of God is to live and walk by faith, not by sight (ref. Habakkuk 2:4; Romans 1:16; 2 Corinthians 5:7). Now, to live and walk by faith doesn't mean since we live in Christ whatever we do just become right because there is this confidence in our effort to get things right. You may not see it this way, but many of us do things this way by believing in ourselves, thinking that because we are born again, faith would imply that since Jesus did it, we have more confidence in ourselves. This is faith, but our own faith.

There is the faith of Jesus and our faith. But our faith can never be right even though we are Sons and Daughters of God. The transformation through the renewal of our minds simply means moving from complete rest on ourselves to complete rest in what He did. In theory, this isn't new to us, but in practice, some of us do the opposite.

Colossians 3:16-17 says, "¹⁶Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. ¹⁷And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him."

What it means to operate in His faith means to constantly give Him praise and thanksgiving in all that we do, why? This is because as we give Him praise and thanksgiving, we strengthen our rest in Him as the one who has done it all, and we think less of ourselves and more and more of Him alone.

As we praise and thank Him in all we do, we allow His grace to flow through the Holy Spirit as we rest on Him through our actions. A sign of complete trust in His finished work.

All that we do, is just the Holy Spirit leading us to the goodies He has in store for us. So, when the Holy Spirit leads us to a sick person, we just give thanks to God because we know that Jesus has healed the man. This makes us rebuke the sickness because we know He had done it.

You see that you didn't think of yourself for a second in whatever way, all you thought of was Jesus and what He had done. And is because we keep praising and thanking Him for what He has done.

We live by the faith OF Jesus, and not by our faith (ref.: Galatians 2:20 KJV). This is what it means when the scripture says when we delight ourselves in the Lord, He gives us the desires of our heart because we have shifted our rest from ourselves to Him through praise and thanksgiving in Him. And also why it is also written that in all things we should give thanks, and that is the will of God for us (ref.: Psalms 37:4; 1 Thessalonians 5:18).

So, to live and walk by faith and not by sight is to look unto Jesus and keep on praising and thanking in all we do which affects our actions as we get transformed in the renewal of our minds.

It is none of us, and all of Him. You have no business with yourself. So, you see why it is called faith?

Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!

Don't Give Up In Doing Good

The life of Sons or Daughters of God is a unique one. Unique in the sense of not doing the conventional thing the average person on earth would do.

The world is filled with corruption and it is seen as a normal way of life. But Sons and Daughters of God live a non-corrupt way of life which makes them appear odd or sometimes gullible.

Galatians 6:7-10 says, 

"⁷Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. ⁸For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life. ⁹And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. ¹⁰Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith."

Verse 8 makes it clear if we sow in the flesh we will reap corruption. But if we sow in the Spirit, we will reap everlasting life. The world sows in the flesh, going by the level of increasing corruption in the world.

On the other hand, we find out that the Sons and Daughters of God are to sow in the Spirit. This is not a normal way of life in this world. This was why Apostle Paul the Sons and Daughters of God not to be weary in doing good because it won't be appreciated at times. It could get to the point of even getting persecuted.

As Sons and Daughters of God, we must have at the back of our minds that in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.

Remember, we live in a fallen world and we are here on a mission. True, things could be discouraging, but by remembering the purpose of our calling and with the leading and guidance of the Holy Spirit, we will receive strength to keep on keeping on.

Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!

The Dawn of a New Era

What does being a Son or Daughter of God or a true Christian mean? It is not just a title, like a doctorate or similar position. It is an identification of a different species, that may look like the regular people on earth, but this time from a different kingdom.

Sons and Daughters of God are not of this earth. They are of the kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ.

The kingdom of this earth is the kingdom of the first Adam, but sadly ruled by the devil itself (ref.: 2 Corinthians 4:4), due to the fall of Adam.

The second reason Jesus came as man was to establish a new era, His kingdom. And anyone who confesses with their mouth, the Lord Jesus, and believe in heart that God raised Him from the dead, they will automatically be translated from the kingdom of this world to His kingdom (ref.: Romans 10:9; Colossians 1:13). All, these are possible because of the first reason Jesus came as a man was to free us from the bondage of sin by taking our place in exchange for His life (ref.: 2 Corinthians 5:21).

So, what are the Sons and Daughters of God meant to do here on earth. First of all Sons and Daughters of God are like soldiers of our Lord Jesus Christ because they are on a mission and need to be focused (ref.: 2 Timothy 2:3-4).

The whole world is coming to an end, and the devil who knows its time is near wants to make sure no one is saved. This is why it attacks the Sons and Daughters of God through distractions from things of this world, persecution from unsaved people and even some government, antagonism and more, just to discourage the Sons and Daughters of God and ensure the lost are not saved (ref.: John 15:18-25; 16:1-4).

The work of the Sons and Daughters of God is very crucial because they have all been sent by Jesus to spread the good news of salvation, thus letting people know that the world is coming to an end and they need to be saved to be translated into the kingdom of Jesus.

Sons and Daughters of God need to always meditate on the word of God day and night to keep up the spark of their faith in Christ Jesus in the leading of the Holy Spirit, who guides them into all truth, leading them on where to go and how to go about the mission.

They are not too entangled with things of this world because it is very enticing and distracting. This is where the Holy Spirit comes in, whom we are listening to.

The new era has begun already, but would properly be inaugurated in the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. We should not take things for granted, for no one knows the day or time our Lord Jesus will return (ref.: Matthew 24:36; 1 Thessalonians 5:2; 2 Peter 3:10).

Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!

Don't Forget The Third Guy

Jesus Christ came for two reasons. The first one is to be a sacrifice on behalf of the whole world, thus taking the sin of the entire world upon Himself being the only one pure, righteous, and without sin (ref.: 2 Corinthians 5:21). But what is the second reason?

The second reason Jesus came to the world was to establish a new beginning with Himself through His resurrection. In order words, He is the last Adam. What does this imply?

This implies that there are two kingdoms. The kingdom of the first Adam of Genesis, who is dying off, and Jesus the life-giving kingdom (ref.: 1 Corinthians 15:45). It also implies that anyone born of Christ Jesus has the same nature as Jesus, the last Adam, just the same way we all once had the life of the first Adam, when we born were of him, born into sin. But anyone born of Christ Jesus is born into righteousness as His true nature.

Now, what happens after being born of Christ Jesus?

Jesus told His disciples when He was here on earth that it was better for them He went back to the Father, if not the Holy Spirit would not come (ref.: John 16:7).

For Jesus, the Holy Spirit is very important. He is one Jesus spoke of as the good things our Father in heaven would give us in Matthew 7:11 being revealed as the Holy Spirit in Luke 11:13.

The Holy Spirit is the one who leads us into all truth, and not speaking on His authority, but whatever He hears, He speaks (ref.: John 16:13).

The kingdom of Jesus, the last Adam will be spread by the Holy Spirit, this was why Jesus said the disciples should wait in the upper room for the coming of the Holy Spirit, because having received Jesus as Lord, you now have the Spirit of Jesus. But you need to be led into knowing your new identity, and, the purpose of your calling. This is where the Holy Spirit comes in.

The Bible says in Colossians 2:6, "In the same way you received Jesus our Lord and Messiah by faith, continue your journey of faith, progressing further into your union with him!" TPT. And the only way to get this done is by allowing the Holy Spirit to lead. But I've seen several Sons and Daughters of God drift away into the wisdom of the world through furthering their education.

Now, education is wonderful, but as a Son or Daughter of God, it is the Holy Spirit who leads us, tells us what we are to do, and how to go about it in line with the word of God.

The Holy Spirit is so important in our Christian growth. Without Him, we cannot accomplish our purpose as Sons or Daughters of God.

He reveals our action plan in line with the word of God we have meditated on. Don't take Him for granted, because in case we have forgotten He is God. This is why we function in the authority of the might of the Lord Jesus.

John 14:26 says "But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you." The Holy Spirit is very informed, knows all things, and knows the end from the beginning. He is God! Allow Him to lead you, don't forget Him.

Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t? Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!
