To LIVE IS Christ

-

Philip 1:21

In alignment with the apostle Paul's profound declaration, let us kindle the hope within us to continually magnify Christ—whether amidst the vibrancy of life or the shadowy realms of death. This transcendent calling beckons us to surpass the mere exhibition of seemeth virtues such as patience, humility, sanctification, goodness, and perfection. Instead, our mission is to unveil a living tableau where Christ's very essence radiates through our thoughts, words, and actions. It is a call to transcend self-display and allow the world to witness the living, breathing reality of Christ within us. "To live is Christ" becomes not just a proclamation but a pulsating rhythm that animates every fiber of our existence.

 In our pursuit of living out Christ, we are beckoned to traverse beyond the superficial showcasing of virtues. It is not about merely letting others see our qualities but unveiling the transformative power of Christ being lived out in the intricacies of our daily journey. Each step, each decision, each interaction becomes a canvas upon which the divine brushstrokes of Christ's character are vividly portrayed.

 Living in Him is an intentional surrender—a conscious decision to intertwine our lives with the divine, allowing Christ to permeate every facet of our being. It transcends the boundaries of mere religious observance, becoming a lifestyle where our very existence mirrors the living reality of Christ within.

 As men on a spiritual odyssey, we are summoned to embrace this sacred calling, recognizing that our lives are no longer solitary endeavors. Instead, they become an ongoing symphony where every note is a melody of worship, every trial an opportunity to showcase the resilience found in Him.

 "To live is Christ" becomes our anthem, echoing through the corridors of our existence and resonating with the promise of eternal significance.

Let us heed this call to live in Him, recognizing that our lives are a sacred tapestry woven with the threads of divine grace. In the grand tapestry of existence, may our lives be vibrant testimonies, inviting others to join the chorus of worship that transcends life's varied seasons and resounds into the eternity that awaits.

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...
