God entering into Man as Life

-

The concept of God manifesting as the Word, intended for reception by humanity, can be likened to the act of consuming a watermelon. Just as partaking in a watermelon involves its segmentation and subsequent extraction of its essence into juice for consumption, God initiates a series of actions to impart Himself to us. 

Fundamental to this process is His manifestation as the Word, as elucidated in John 1:1, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." Here, the Word symbolizes God's tangible means of communication and revelation to humanity, which is the expression of His mind.

In contrast to directly perceiving God, which is beyond soulical faculties, engaging with His Word becomes the channel through which we apprehend His mind. Analogous to a person revealing themselves through speech, God's Word serves as the medium through which His essence is conveyed. 

Consequently, just as silence impedes our understanding of an individual, God's self-disclosure through His Word facilitates our comprehension and communion with Him.

The significance of God presenting Himself as the Word is underscored by the assertion of Jesus Christ, as recorded in John 6:63, "The words which I have spoken to you are spirit and are life." Here, Jesus affirms that His teachings are imbued with divine essence, capable of imparting spiritual vitality to those who receive them. Thus, the Word, being infused with the spirit and vitality of God Himself, serves as the conduit through which He dispenses His life-giving presence to humanity.

Hence, the Word of God emerges as a manifestation of Spirit, teeming with the essence of life itself. It beckons humanity to partake in this divine outpouring, inviting all to immerse themselves in the richness of God's content.

In embracing the Word, you are afforded a gateway to communion with the divine, wherein the very essence of God is encountered. Through this interaction, you will finds nourishment for your soul and illumination for your spirit, as the Word infuses life into the depths of human existence.

May you, dear sisters and brothers, be stirred to answer the call, to join in the sacred journey of partaking in this divine release of God's content. In the embrace of the Word, may you discover a beacon of truth, whose radiance illuminates the path before you. May you feel the transformative power of Spirit coursing through your being, infusing each moment with vitality and purpose, leading you towards the promise of life eternal. Amen…

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...
