A CALL TO THE SPIRITUAL ORGANISM

-

John 4:24 echoes a profound truth, proclaiming that "God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and in truth." It resonates with the revelation that, as beings crafted in the divine image, we possess a spirit—a sacred conduit through which we connect with the our Father. Amidst the myriad of physical and inward organs bestowed upon us by our Creator, the spirit emerges as the vital instrument for worship.

 God, in His infinite wisdom, fashioned humanity with a purpose—to worship, to engage with Him, to receive His divine essence, to retain it, and yes, even to digest it. While the notion of digesting God may raise eyebrows, the analogy is rooted in the profound truth that the Lord Jesus Himself declared: "I am the bread of life; he who comes to Me will not hunger, and he who believes in Me will never thirst" (John 6:35). Jesus, the embodiment of divine nourishment, beckons us to partake in Him, to consume the spiritual sustenance that only He can provide. Just as our physical stomach digests physical food, our spiritual stomach, the organ of our spirit, is designed to digest the very essence of God.

 In the intricate symphony of our being, the spiritual stomach remains hungry even after our physical stomach is satisfied with earthly sustenance. This hunger is a yearning for divine connection, a recognition that our spirit longs for communion with God. We must acknowledge the existence of this spiritual stomach within us, yearning daily to be filled with the divine.

Our spirit, akin to the nose designed for breathing in air, serves as the exclusive organ for receiving God. To deny God's existence based on the limitations of our physical senses is akin to attempting to grasp air with our hands or hear it with our ears. The spirit, when exercised, becomes the gateway to receiving God. To breathe in the divine presence, we must utilize the proper organ—our spirit.

 Let us discard the notion that God is elusive, unseen, or ungraspable. The omnipresent God is with us, waiting to be acknowledged and invited in. The mind, while a valuable tool, is not the organ designed for direct communion with the divine. Instead, we must pivot inward, exercise our spirit, and call out from the depths of our being, "O Lord! O Lord Jesus!" In this act of worship, the divine Spirit meets the human spirit, and the symphony of worship unfolds—spirit communing with Spirit, humanity connecting with the divine. Halleluyah!!!

 In the sacred space of worship, let us, as men, recognize the spiritual hunger within us, acknowledge the spiritual stomach yearning for God's essence, and deliberately exercise our spirit to connect with the divine. In doing so, we embark on a journey of profound worship, where the human spirit bows before the divine Spirit, and the transcendent exchange unfolds in the hallowed sanctuary of our innermost being.

    This write-up beautifully emphasizes the importance of worshiping God in spirit and truth, echoing John 4:24. It eloquently describes our spiritual hunger for communion with God and the need to exercise our spirit to connect with the divine. The analogy of digesting God's essence like the bread of life adds depth to the understanding of spiritual nourishment. Overall, it encourages a deeper reflection on the spiritual dimension of worship and the profound nature of our relationship with God.

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...
