DISOBEDIENCE: A PROPOSE TO SEPARATION

DISOBEDIENCE: A PROPOSE TO SEPARATION

Genesis 3:24 says, the Lord “drove out the man: and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden cherubim, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.”

Thus, man was estranged from the life of God, symbolized by the cherubim representing God's glory, the flame signifying His holiness, and the sword representing His righteousness. These elements served as barriers preventing sinful man from accessing God's eternal life.
The redemptive work of the Lord Jesus on the cross offers a solution. He fulfilled the requirements of God's glory, holiness, and righteousness, paving the way for reconciliation and the restoration of the divine connection..Glory to God!!!

 This scenario continues today when disobedience severs the connection between man and God. The consequence of disobedience remains a separation from God. This disobedience is a transgression against the word of the Lord and His principles and serves as a catalyst for a rupture in the harmonious communion between humanity and the divine

Disobedience is seen as a pivotal factor in the perpetuation of spiritual estrangement. The consequences of disobedience, akin to a metaphysical ripple effect, manifest as a profound separation from the divine, resulting in spiritual desolation, moral discord, and existential disquietude.
Moreover, the consequences of disobedience are not solely confined to the metaphysical realm; they often reverberate through the fabric of human existence, affecting interpersonal relationships, societal structures, and the overall well-being of the individual.

 Therefore, obedience is a path of love, trust, and alignment with divine principles, contributing not only to personal spiritual growth but also to the well-being of the community and the world at large. Living in obedience becomes a testimony to the transformative power of faith and the enduring love of a devoted child for their heavenly Parent. So be an obedient Child to God and to your authority.

    "...obedience is a path of love, trust, and alignment with divine principles, contributing not only to personal spiritual growth but also to the well-being of the community and the world at large."

    Profound words dispense in God's reality.

    God help me to be continually obedient to your will.

An Epistle to the Church Concerning the Way of Life and Godly Appearance

-
Samuel Abiodun Ojo, a servant of Jesus Christ, called and sent for apostolic formation, the raising of sons, and the teaching of the truth of Christ, to the brethren of the ECN and  to  those who are called by the name of Christ, to the assembly that bears His testimony in this present age: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us from this present world system, according to the will of God. To Him be glory forever. Amen.   I marvel that you are so quickly drifting from the simplicity and authority of the life you received, and are allowing yourselves to be shaped by standards that did not call you, nor give themselves for you. This turning is not unto another gospel, but unto a distortion of the life of Christ, where liberty is confused with license, and grace is separated from transformation.   Let me speak plainly, as one who labo ur s for your souls.   When you received...

The Operation of the Law of Divine Life

-
Romans 6:3-5; 8:2, 29-30; 12:2 What is the law of divine life? In its essence, life is God, and God is life. While it’s not entirely incorrect to say that the law of divine life is simply God or life itself, it’s more accurate—based on the biblical revelation—to describe it as the automatic function of the divine life. A law signifies a natural, unchanging regulation or principle. Therefore, the law of any life form is its inherent characteristic, an innate and automatic function. The higher the life, the more elevated its law. The law of divine life is the innate function of God’s life, and because God's life is the highest life, its law surpasses all others. When I first encountered the phrase "the law of life," my natural understanding led me to associate it with rules meant to curb wrong actions. This view, while not entirely incorrect, falls short of the true biblical meaning. The law of divine life is not merely a regulation to keep us from error. Instead, it is the...

Man with Spirit

-
  God, the Master Creator, crafted man with divine intentionality, forming a being unlike any other in creation. In Genesis 2:7, we find the profound narrative of humanity's genesis: "Jehovah God formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living soul." Here, we witness God utilizing two distinct elements to fashion man—dust for the body and the breath of life to instill the spirit. The dust signifies our physical origin, grounding us in the earth, while the divine breath signifies our spiritual origin, awakening the innermost essence of our being. This breath, the Hebrew word neshamah , became the spirit within man, enabling the soul’s emergence as the bridge between our flesh and spirit. Man is a triune being—spirit, soul, and body (1 Thess. 5:23). The body serves as our outward organ, engaging with the tangible world, while the spirit, as our inward organ, connects us to the Divine. Between these two reside...
