IN THE LIGHT

-

Step into the profound truth revealed in Colossians 1:12: we are called to walk in the light. This light is not merely an illumination—it is a realm, a kingdom, a sphere of divine clarity and purpose. Opposite to this is the kingdom of darkness, a realm of confusion and chaos, where so many wander today. But those who grasp God's eternal plan, who live by His strength and partake in the inheritance of the saints, are transported into an entirely different reality: the kingdom of light, the kingdom of God.

 The more we understand God’s divine plan and the more we embrace Christ in our daily lives, the deeper we enter this radiant kingdom. This light transforms our entire being. It becomes the essence of our walk, our purpose, and our direction. The kingdom of light is not just a metaphor—it is the kingdom of the Son of God’s love, a place where divine revelation and practical experience converge to envelop our lives in clarity, peace, and purpose.

 What does it mean to live under the reign of light? Imagine a world without light—where darkness pervades, leaving confusion and disorder. In contrast, light brings order, direction, and harmony. Under its gentle rule, we find clarity in our actions, purpose in our decisions, and peace in our relationships. We eat, speak, and live in the light. To live in the light is to allow the divine light to guide and govern every facet of our being.

 But this light is not an abstract concept—it is the very life of Christ. As John 1:4 declares, “In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.” The life of Christ becomes our light the moment we experience Him. When Jesus proclaimed, “I am the light of the world; he who follows Me shall by no means walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life” (John 8:12), He was inviting us into this transformative experience. The more we embrace Christ, the more His life radiates within us, lighting our path and filling our hearts with His divine brilliance.

 To walk in the light is to walk in the fullness of Christ’s life—a life that not only illuminates our path but also transforms us into vessels of that very light for the world.

Let His light shine through you today.

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...
