Blessed Sparkling Kingdom Comrades @ ZION: In our Today's Scripture Quote, we observe

Amos 3: 2

informing us that Israel was specifically God's chosen nation. Yet they had completely drawn away from His good and holy Ordinances.

A close walk with God would have been the arena in which Israel could have met their enemies victoriously and where they would have prospered spiritually. But since the hearts of the people were filled with idolatry

(Prov. 4: 26),

plain paths were turned into rocky ground, ground upon which neither horse nor ox could run

(Amos 6: 12).

Indeed, judgment is turned into gall, and the fruit of Righteousness into worm wood

(Amos 6: 12b).

Certainly, we will feel how hard and bitter it is for a Christian or Zionist to confirm to the standard of the world. What a very real difference there is between worldliness and the true path of Faith and Obedience! Do we not learn much from here, today? My own heart answers in the affirmative with emphatic "YES"!

Reason: I, personally, am edified, morally exhorted and strictly cautioned - I have really gained much, today. 

Amen. Alleluia!! Hosanna In The Highest!

Obviously, the only way of total deliverance from the state of confusion and deceit, together with the unhappiness that always goes with them, which are so prevalent with so many Christians and Zionists alike today, is to get a clear grasp of the Truth of Almighty God.

 Amen. Alleluia!!

No doubt, it is essential if we would ever know the Truth, that we be willing to accept it and submit ourselves to it, wholeheartedly. For if one is not ready to face the Truths and bow to them, he will rationalize. Surely, he will strive to discover some reasons for his refusal of submission to the Truth. Moreover, his emotional rejection of Truth will create bias, mistrust and unballance his reasoning. Thereat, Satan De Devil will take advantage of such unbalanced reasons to subject one to spiritual darkness and utter confusion in one's mind and soul, along with all the sadness of heart that always accompany such condition of confusion and embarrassment. Of course, it is never an admirable situation for one to be groping in the dark.

Therefore, Blessed Kingdom Brethren & Favoured Sparkling Friends @ ZION, it is essentially vital for spiritual discernment and sound reasoning that as the Children of God we make sure that our wills are truly surrendered to Almighty God and we walk in whatsoever path He directs us irrespective of our own likes and disaffection.

In fact, that is the one thing above all other things that God aims at producing in the hearts of His people. Unless we arrive at that particular disposition of total surrender of ourselves to Him, we will be disappointed and more or less biased in our imperfect judgment as humans. Certainly!

Evidently, whenever a Child of God walks in true subjection to Almighty God, he displays in his life the moral and spiritual characteristics of the Kingdom of God. This, as a matter of fact, must be the aspiration and earnest quest of all aspiring Associates of God's Kingdom @ Zion of Holy Jerusalem: Our Paradisal Home Of Happiness, Eternal Salvation cum Sanctification, Peace, Bliss & Glory, to God's Glory, by His Grace.

 Alleluia!! Amen. Hosanna!

*THE EFFECTS OF SPIRITUAL VIRUS IN THE CHURCH: DANGER IN THE CHURCH & SOCIETY*

Ours is a contemporary society quite unfortunately marked by moral decadence  - a generation beset with indescribable moral decay of which only Divine Intervention can afford a remedy to salvage the ugly situation.

The primary function of the ⛪ Church is to train the Children of God in the Knowledge of Almighty God & in the practice of Godliness or pure Godly Living. More-so, the service of ethical training afforded by the Church is expected to assist in the character improvement & development; & thus enhance a better worldwide, national & communual societies. This is the essence of Moral Instructions both in the ⛪ Church & Schools, too.

Of course, the Holy Scriptures serve as the training manual & the Christians are called upon to believe all the contents thereof & also apply the principles of Christian Live in their daily existence. The Great Commission delivered by the Lord & Saviour of Mankind, JESUS CHRIST De MESSIAH YAHSHUAH, aims @ teaching the Word of God in all the parts of the world for repentance from sin & for receipt of Divine forgiveness in order to satisfy the Divine Requirements for inheritance in the 👑 Kingdom of God (Luke 24: 47-48; Matt. 28: 19-20).

The Minister of God is called to be committed in the great sacred ♥ Work of Preaching  & Teaching the Word of God & also to do some other associated duties involved  in the preparation of the souls of mankind in the impending 🏃 RAPTURE & for the subsequent eternal life & inheritance in the 👑 Kingdom of GOD.

For a Minister to achieve these goals he must himself be adequately prepared through sound moral education & spiritual training coupled with acquisition of a wealth of spiritual experience, for no one can afford to give what he doesn't have.

In fact, Ministers of God ought to be sensitized in the Great Service of Christian Upbringing based on inculcating moral values in the ⛪ Church & equally assisting them to live the essential glorious Christian Life.

Nevertheless, if Repentance from sin & a visible change to living a moral Christian life is not accomplished & realized in the Church of God, where else could such vital Divine Task be achieved? Of course: THIS IS THE REAL DANGER IN THE ⛪ CHURCH IN PARTICULAR & THE SOCIETY @ LARGE.

THE VISIBLE EFFECTS & SOLUTIONS TO THE PROBLEM

 Nowadays, certainly, we experience & observe critical multiplicity of organized religious denominations in the name of ⛪ Church & yet subsequent religious martyrdom, internal & external dissensions, religious discrepancies, criticisms & persecutions, unwanted pregnancies & abortions, bribery & corruptions @ worst capacity. Satan's most diabolically effective weapons have continued to be the same old reliable ones he has ever used since the days of Judas Iscariot - destroy from within, cause dissensions & doubts, stir one against the other, destroy the credibility of the leadership, accuse the brethren, divide & conquer.

In fact, it is high time for us to awake from sleep & challenge our enemy with an awful lot, lest our showing an attitude of indifference spell calamity for us.

Therefore, I urge all 👬 Men Of God to rise up to the challenge of this essential responsibility of training souls by the service of sound Moral Instructions for the time of the harvest is very much @ hand. Surely, as many as heed this urgent Divine Call, the Lord God Almighty will visit them with abundance of Grace & Divine Rewards. Amen. Alleluia!! Hosanna In The Highest!

A TYPICAL NATIONAL CRUSADE AGAINST THE SPIRITUAL VIRUS IN OUR CONTEMPORARY SOCIETIES 

With due respect, O my respected sparkling 👑 Kingdom Brethren @ ZION, permit me to effect a necessary backup to this sacred ♥ discourse on the Danger Of The Burden Of Spiritual Virus In The Church @ CHRISTENDOM in particular & the contemporary World Societies @ large, with a special reference to the British political contraption called Nigeria, the hub or precisely the international headquarters of Dilapidation Of Ethical Standards vis-a-vis Corruption & Bribery @ cankerworm order.

Evidently, about three decades ago, the struggle employed by the Nigeria Polity in her attempt to ward off Corruption & other associated vices deserves mention @ this juncture. Essentially, this will serve some useful purposes; first, to educate us on the development so far & in affording us Compass direction of the way forward.

The history of the CRUSADE AGAINST CORRUPTION in Public Office in Nigeria can be traced effectively to the previously coming into 🏢 Office of the regime of the late General Murtala Mohammed in 1975. Before then, the regime of General Yakubu Gowon of the Nigeria & BIAFRA Civil War, which ruled for nine years until it was terminated in 1975 was almost complacent as far as fighting Corruption was concerned. The Military Governors & Federal Ministers were left unchecked & the result was that Corruption crept into public life & became part of governance. However, with a Military precision & missionary vision, General Murtala Mohammed, just the second hand, swept past its zenith, swung into action with a mass purge of one hundred & four (104) Federal Officers in September, 1975. Further, all the Ex-military Governors, except Brigadeiers Oluwole Rotimi & Mobalaji Johnson, were guilty of abuse of Office & other irregular practices for betraying the trust cum confidence reposed on them by the nation. They were dismissed with ignominy from the Armed Forces & the Nigeria Police Force with effect from February 3, 1976.

However, in a sick country, like Nigeria, every step of health is an insult to those who live on its sickness. General Murtala Mohammed was promptly assassinated & General Olusegun Obasanjo stepped into the 🏢 Office & continued with the same spirit to cure Nigeria of Corruption tendencies especially in the Public Service.

Government has since engaged in an epic battle against this age-long scourge & monster called Corruption. On March 29, 1984, the General Buhari/Idiago Government launched, first in Nigeria history, the 'Buharial' "War Against Indiscipline" (WAI). In earnest attempt of 'buharial' curb of societal 😈 evil of Corruption, by political "Buharism", other measures, apart from laws, rules & regulations, instituted by the Government to check this evil tendency included Ethical Revolution, MAMSER, Anti-raft Law,  National Orientation  Agency (NOA) & the War Against Undisciplined & Corruption (WAIC). Others, thru the other administrations, included the National Agency For Food & Drug Administration & Control (NAFDAC), the Independent Corrupt Practice Commission (ICPC), the Economic & Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), the Citizenship Education in Higher Institutions & Moral Instructions in the Primary & Secondary Schools. These are the varied renmedies prescribed by the Government from the administration of General Murtala Mohammed to the administration of President Olusegun Obasanjo.

All these promulgations have failed to lay Corruption to rest because Nigerians have not had a collective change of attitude towards the Constitution, whilst various political parties in their political manifesto cum propaganda posit Heaven & Earth via the political slogan called "CHANGE" to the citizenry. But the Constitution has become an object of constant metamorphosis. These changes have robbed the Constitution of the respect it deserves. The Nigerian Constitution become a play thing in the hands of the Leaders & as such subjected to political intrigues. With its incessant alterations, the citizens continue to violate the Constitution the more. Furthermore, its amendment has always been for the mere purpose of safeguarding the interest of the selected few; & that is the root of the nation's DILAPIDATION Of Ethical Standard @ CORRUPTION. O God Save His People By CHRIST De MESSIAH! 

Amen & Amen. Alleluia!! Hosanna In The Highest!

OUR SPIRITUAL CORRECTIVE THERAPY

 Of course, I'm optimistic that we can still reverse the negativity & trends of Corruption  in our modern societies. Things have not completely fallen apart as Professor Chinua Achebe would suggest. The Panacea To The Contemporary Moral Decay On Corruption Is Spiritual Therapy Or CHRISTIANITY INOCULATION.

In 2 Chronicles Chapter 7 Verse 14, the Holy Bible says: "If my people, who are called by my Name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my Face, and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from Heaven and forgive  their sin, and will heal their land" (AKJV).

If these words were but the mere opinion of men, we might disregard them; but since they're the Words of Almighty God, they must & will be fulfilled to the very letter (Mark 13: 31).

Moreover, in Matthew Chapter 11 verse 28, the Holy Bible says: "Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden and I will give you rest" (AKJV).

Let us examine briefly those two Scriptural Verses in relation to our endeavours to sanitizing ourselves & the national societies & finally curb Corruption.

The first thing is to humble ourselves before Almighty God in true confession of our sins as 👬👬 members of the Body Of Christ De Messiah (The Holy Church). God knows that we are heavy laden with Corruption, Mis-devotion, Lack of Self-control, Insincerity, Wickedness & so on. When we purge ourselves of these evils in our system, by His Grace, God promises that He will heal our land & will give us REST (His Sabbath). Let everyone among us who wants a better & blessed Societies in our modern World embrace the Word of Almighty God, eat the Word of God (Ezekiel 2: 9-10; 3: 1-3) & make it our daily 🍞 guide.

And so shall our Merciful Heavenly Father, Lord God Almighty, heal our land of the chronic cankerworm otherwise called CORRUPTION in all its ramifications & restore our National & International Ethical Standards. Thus shall the 👑 Kingdom Of God On 🌍 Earth, even the 🏡 Holy Church Of God rejoice & give Honour & Glory to Almighty God Who reigns @ ZION Of Holy Jerusalem: Our Paradisal Home Of Blessedness, Eternal Salvation cum Sanctification, Peace, Bliss & Glory, to God's Glory & by His 🏡 Grace & Love. 

Amen. Alleluia!! Hosanna In The Highest!

Blessed Christian & Zionist Daughters Of ZION & Favoured Gentlemen Of Integrity & Goodwill - Lend Me Your Attentive Ears!

Undoubtedly, the stage of life @ which a young 👩 woman initially finds herself in 😍 Love has a major bearing or influence on her general attitude towards people generally & 👬 men in particular. Surely, we are very much aware that 😍 Love can manifest @ any age. Certainly, youthful infatuation is most likely to become confused with 😍 Love. Admittedly, young 👧 girls are so often in 😍 Love with the idea of "Falling In Love". Although some of the greatest literature works recognize & treat such as "Young Love"; in real life it is relegated to romantic fantasy. Certainly, "young love" is rash, bewildering & lacks emotional maturity, which makes it hard for the girls to cope with the strength of feeling involved.

Love 😍 provides a reason for Sex, where before there has been no other reason apart from curiosity & the fact that "everyone else is doing it". But is everyone else really doing it?

Some interviewees spoke of early sexual experience as being without desire. The physical excitement, no doubt, was there & for some that was sufficient, but the more sensitive the girl the less likely she was to be satisfied with physical sensations alone.  

• Chi-Babe was virtually thirty years when she got married to a handsome young man. When interviewed she opened up to unfold her much desired interesting experience. She said: "The fact that I desired him for his own sake was of paramount importance to me, as a young lady. In fact, I earnestly wanted to go to bed with him ever before he made any move towards me. I was overwhelmed by this marvelous sensation because I had never had an orgasm & I didn't experience it @ first time with him yet I was satisfied. By this time I was aware of the fact that 👩👩 women did have a climax, but I had no idea what it might be like. Let me make bold to say that the first time it happened I was shocked because I never thought that one sensation could so take over one's entire being. For the first time I was lost in someone else. I felt as if my mind & my body, which had always seemed completely separate entities, suddenly fused & become as one. Then it was as if this abstract thing which was me turned into a sort of liquid, something pure like liquid gold, flowing into this person until he too brimmed over with my love. I adored him & wanted to eat him alive; I'm sure that this fact strengthened the intensity of the orgasm". 

Love 😍 provoked an entirely new experience for these young 👩👩 women, Sex became a celebration rather than an act unto itself; & their sensitive accounts show them to have been granted a further maturity, rather than having been struck with what their elders are so fond of calling "fanciful notions". 

Another lucid & exciting quotation further illustrates the connection between first love & emotional growth.

Now with a comfortable home & equally comfortable marriage, Mrs Patricia, a forty-five-year-old 👩 woman relates her own experience: "Talking to a friend the other day, I was reminded of how lucky I have been. My friend was saying that she had never been in 😍 love. She is married & feels affectionate towards her husband, but freely admits that she had never been in 😍 love with him nor anyone else. I love my hubby very much. It is required & therefore happy 😍 love. Yet, my thoughts often wander to the first time that I fell in 😍 love. Of course, I know that what I have now is not quite the same nor can I expect it to be. I suspect that every 👩 woman remembers her first 😍 love as being particularly special. Like most women I was fond of reading romances. I would indulge myself  in dreams of handsome strangers sweeping me off to some far away utopia. In reality, I would assess each new friend & wait to fall in 😍 love with him. In fact, it wasn't until I had outgrown this stage & become involved with activities which sublimated these young amorous desires that it actually happened to me. I literally "fell" in 😍 love. To all those writers of romantic novels whose heroines suddenly become madly in love, I say rubbish!

"Falling in love", she continued, 'is a gradual process. As it takes time for a flower to unfold so it takes time to fall in love. The realization that I was in love was certainly sudden, but I was aware that this realization was The result of a relationship which had been growing towards this point for some time. Being in love for the first time is a period of my life which will always remain clear & complete in my memory. My naivety was indescribable. No one could have been less subtle. Once it really hit me that I was in 😍 love with someone who was in 😍 love with me, I just hit an all-time ecstasy of happiness. Looking back, I can see that I must have been a source of amusement to my partner. I think that the mistake one makes with one's first love is that one suffocates love in its wonder.

Moreover, she added, it is almost inevitable because it is all so wonderful, or @ least I found it so. There was no need for food, or drink or money or anything except him & talking into the small hours, making love & talking some more & falling asleep all entwined. He provided my senses with their fill. Not being with him was constant wish to be with him. Being with him was constant wish for him not to go away. Walking 🚶 along the street knowing it showed; this 😍 love which danced in front of us & touched passers-by so much that they smiled & remembered what it had been with them & how it ended so abruptly. Because we were young we would do crazy things since 😍 love makes you disregard convention. Love 😍 isolates & protects so that the approval of others become a joke & immaterial. We would laugh together because people thought us crazy. We were terribly conceited but that didn't matter so much. But first love 😍 is ephemeral & has to end, unless it springs from religious background. Such holy 😍 Love that never ends we call true "Christian Love".  

Finally, she gladly posited: "Sometime, I imagine that I am a girl 👩 from a highly moral & religious society in a remote village where morality is strong; & that I have just got married & have been released from this strict moral code". Funny, isn't it?

Quick observation shows that if a couple 👫 makes 😍 love successfully, that is to the physical & emotional satisfaction of both; they have created a bond which facilitates communication @ all levels. Of course, one can always dispute whether one is putting the cart before the 🐴 horse. It is far too black & white to state that a good sexual relationship means that other aspects of the relationship will necessarily follow suit. From a different standpoint the reverse, more often than not, could as well be true. Nevertheless, we earnestly pray for the Grace of Almighty GOD to see us through in all our weaknesses as mortal beings, by the Grace of our Blessed Lord & Redeemer of Mankind, CHRIST De MESSIAH. 

Amen. Alleluia!! Hosanna In The Highest!

Amen. Alleluia!!

In Our "Today's Scripture Quote", we are highly blessed with a strikingly ♨ sparkling Divine Message of a glorious order. Certainly, a tree🗼towering in the air has roots of proportionate strength & depth. It won't pay it to grow tall if it failed to grow deep into the ground. Sometimes, this 🌲 bows & swags & bends in the storm, until it appears as though it will fall down, but it strengthens back to its place with a tougher fibre than before.

Surely, "Blessed is the man that confideth in JEHOVAH and whose confidence JEHOVAH is......" (Jeremiah 17: 7-8).

Indeed, God assists us to empty ourselves of all things unchristlike & receive more of His Fullness. Christ De Messiah is the ROAD to our prosperity, materially, spiritually, morally & otherwise. In Him & through Him we are completely made RICH, though formerly poor & wretched. 

Alleluia!! Amen.

Fortunately, Lord Jesus Christ De Messiah Yahshua is the manna for our 👪 Souls. It is by His 🏡 Divine Nutrition that our spiritual life is nourished, sustained & grows. Alleluia!! Amen. As He only can give life, so also He alone can sustain life. He gladly does this by 🎁 presenting Himself to us in the sacred ♥ Written Word of God by the Spirit. 

Alleluia!! Amen. Hosanna In The Highest!

Evidently, not only in His 💀 Death as the lamb of God slain, nor just in His Resurrection from the dead, as the sacred ♥ Old 🌽 Corn 🍞 of Canaan; but as the One Who humbled Himself, Who was come down here on 🌍 Earth in all humility, in the form of 👨The Word of God made flesh Who dwelt among us (Rev. 19: 13).

We, as strangers here, need the Holy Friendship & the Consolation of the One Who has been Himself a stranger here, too & this we have in the Blessed Person of Lord Jesus Christ De Messiah Yahshua Who loved us in Peace 👑 & died on Calvary Cross for the Blessed Redemption of mankind. Alleluia!! Amen. How cheering to our Souls it is to trace His Footsteps from the manger to the Cross, as divinely recorded in the Scriptural Holy Gospels! How the manna of Lord CHRIST De MESSIAH appears there! 

Alleluia!! Amen.

The small, round food material, actually lying on the face of the desert place, unknown & unnamed among the people of God! In its similitude He came in the night of the world's darkness & passed away unheeded, despised & crucified by His 🏡 beloved Brethren who He came to save & bless. No doubt, they knew Him not, but His Own 👑 Kingdom Children know Him & find absolute delight to feed upon Him as The One Who gloriously humbled Himself before His Father & 👬 men. 

Alleluia!! Amen. Hosanna In The Highest!

It's certain that in days of prosperity & ease men 👬 place a false value upon things, & they forget God & the hereafter. Present things, which are only illusive & effervescent, assume a substantial appearance. Thus they are deceived by Satan, the god & prince of this world. God has no place in their lives, & they are lured to an eternal doom. But when the things that seem to be stable are shaken by a mighty convulsion, & when the 🌍 earth is filled with hatred & lust for blood, the human Soul is startled into a sense of insecurity; & longs for something outside & beyond it. And in this result of trouble God's Goodness is very visible. 

Alleluia!! Amen. Hosanna In The Highest!

If it were impossible for our 👪 thoughts & hopes to reach beyond the sphere of time; & if the enjoyment of material things were the only good; if pleasure, comfort or ease along with unruffled life of this sinful world were the best of things or highest good to which 👬 men might attain; & to lie down comfortably in an eternal sleep the lot of all; then these days were dark @ the extreme; & we might be forced to conclude that the God who granted such were not really friendly with humanity. However, the reverse is certainly the case: our God is good! Alleluia!! Amen. The Gospel Truth is that 👬 men are divinely endowed & blessed with immortality as they have immortal Souls for life in eternity. Yet, in comparison with their existence the longest life in mortal flesh on 🌍 earth is but as a vapour that disappears before the wind.

Above all, it's a Gospel Truth that there is no lasting satisfaction in material things & that Almighty God alone is Divinely Sufficient to fill our Souls with good. Hence, God turns the thoughts of 👬 men to the highest good. In fact, God wants His people to discover in Him their WEALTH & JOY & to learn as well that, more often than not, it is only in hours of distress that 👬 men unavoidably & sincerely turn to Him. O That 👬 Men Might Learn The Sacred ♥ Lesson Of The Almighty God & Live To His Glory Both In Adversity & Abundance Of 🌍 Earthly Riches! Alleluia!! Amen. Hosanna In The Highest!

Blessed Brethren @ ZION: This specialized Theological Tutorial Business is an ambitious one - purely Divine, Theological, Philosophical, Psychological, Anthropological, Sociological, Mystical & Academic, too. In fact, I have compiled it in view of the fact that a great Divine responsibility is laid on my shoulders. Nevertheless, one thing I believe is that success is certain for it is a Divine Work of Lord Jesus Christ De Messiah Yahshua & our Heavenly Father, Almighty YAHWEH - & His Holy Spirit is the Guide. 

Amen. Alleluia!!

Surely, we do not measure our success by what we have written or the volume of writing but by what the Holy Spirit of God will do in the lives of sincere individuals.

As a matter of fact, I have the Superfine, Glorious, Heavenly Religion of ZION-BIAFRAISM, which is the perfect religious amalgam of Holy CHRISTIANITY cum Revival JUDAISM or YAHWEHISM with perfect dual nature otherwise portrayed as two sides of same coin. 

Alleluia!! Amen.

Certainly, there is no shortage of dogmatic doctrines in our choice Religion popularly known as Holy CHRITIANITY. We know very well that every denomination in CHRISTENDOM (World Religious Empire Of Roman Catholicism) claims its doctrines to be the best. In other to make a nice choice, don't be sentimental or biased by denominational influence, manipulations or manoeuvre; simply look @ the ends promised so as to effect a striking, fine & worthwhile selection of which one to adopt. You owe it to yourself to select the one that promises best, & 🏃 run away from the ones with very vague eternal promises or lack of it.

Take for instance the two famous Religions of Christianity & Islam. Islamic Religion, for example, makes vague promises. Holy Christianity, on the other hand, makes definite promises. So, I select Holy CHRISTIANITY.

Islam is afraid to make spiritual promises. Christianity, however, makes absolutely abundant spiritual promises. So, I select CHRISTIANITY.

Similarly, Mohammed made very little material promises. The Lord Jesus Christ De Messiah Yahshua, on the other hand, made a lot of material promises wih Heavenly Promises, too. So, I choose The Lord Jesus Christ De Messiah Yahshua.

Whilst Mohammed personally promises no spiritual Power to his followers, Lord Christ De Messiah personally promises spiritual Power to His Disciples both during His Lifetime & after His Resurrection  & Ascension back to Almighty God. Moreover, Lord Jesus Christ De Messiah Yahshua in His Lifetime made His Disciples perform Divine Miracles while Mohammed neither promised anything of the sort nor did anything of the sort. Therefore, I choose Lord Jesus Christ De Messiah Yahshua.

Now take a chance & witness Islamic open-air evangelism. You will notice that neither special healings nor miraculous signs are manifested. I have personally witnessed Christian Open-air Evangelism. There I observed special healing, both physical & spiritual, performed & miraculous signs visibly manifested & so on. Therefore, I choose Holy CHRISTIANITY.

So, in fact, Holy CHRISTIANITY is the choice perfect Religion.

That is decision taken. It is not as complex as people make it look like. Simply be honest to yourself with the facts available; the facts available are often more than enough for the decision to be taken. 

Alleluia!! Amen. Hosanna In The Highest!

THE ESSENTIAL THEOLOGICAL AXIOMS ON MAN'S SPIRITUAL CONSCIOUSNESS & DEVELOPMENT IN CHRISTIANITY (1):  

 *Man is a sacred ♥ Product of Divine CONSCIOSNESS in that man was created by Almighty God, according to the Divinity of His Own Nature. Hence, the Scriptural Revelation: "God created man in His Own Image & Likeness" (Genesis 1: 26-27).

Man, therefore, is a Son of God, being the Divine Product of GOD's Creation of His Divinity Infinite Projection of Consciousness.

God definitely manifests infinity of consciousness. He manifest Infinite Projection of Consciousness - able to respond to many people & beings in many planes in diverse ways @ the same instance.

There is a UNIVERSAL ATTENTION, which is focused on each & every Soul. It may be active or passive in relation to you depending on your relationship with God or how God regards you - the good feelings or 😈 evil that you have worked in His consciousness by your acts & the general posture of your spirit in space & time. The operation of the Universal Attention helped the ancient deduce correctly that God is Omniscient. The Universal Attention already alluded to is only, in its own complexity, a component of the Universal Mind.

The Universal Mind, which is the Mind of God is in totality a MYSTERY, but we can reasonably deduce some of its functions or manifestations. The destiny of the Universe now & in eternity is a function of the Universal Mind. To say that God knows you or "Thy Father which seeth in secret" as our Blessed Lord Christ De Messiah taught, is to say that you are reflected in the Universal Mind & it is bound to act on you sooner or later for better or for worse.

Conjoint with the Universal Mind is the Universal Will-Complex. So we say that God is more than able to do anything & all things.

Man is a mono-conscious Creature. At any given instance in physical existence, man is conscious of only one thing, one idea, one person, one place, one fact, etc.

Creation involves the choice & establishment of ORDER. Continued existence of creation necessitates certain fixity or certain immutability in the System of Orders. God is famous for being insistent on Order & for maintaining any Order, which He had established. 

Alleluia!! Amen.

System is a co-function of Order. Principles descend from Order, they are its projections. Every principle that exists is a bye-product of creation, is a useful leverage of action for good or 😈 evil. The Order in material nature has been imposed by God. The subsequent principles are there for us to discover & utilize.

In spiritual nature, not all Orders had been imposed - otherwise all creatures would be dependent. Certain, measures of latitude or independence had been created. Nevertheless, some accountability had been imposed, too. The possibility of sin had been created & also possibility of punishment or even destruction. No one can change this immutable fact. Man can only respect & work out way in it.

Maintenance of creation implies maintaining Order where Order had been imposed & measure of latitude where this too had been created; these further imply the operation of a mechanism of Retribution or a System of Compensating Balances, which otherwise they refer to as "Law of Karma". But, Retribution, in the real sense, is never a mechanistic phenomenon, not always automatic; it possesses some delaying devices, some tuning devices & so on.

In so far as latitude or freedom is a creation for certain members of creation, it can only exist within or in a background of ORDER. Therefore between man & God or between man & any being created with freewill & self-will, laws or moral laws come into play. The ability to recognize them had been created in us all. This abilities have been blunted by the persistence of SIN. It can be re-activated by Holy Spirit - "To convict the world of sins", the Lord Christ De Messiah promised.

Eventually, man is a creature of CHOICE. No Soul can escape the burden of the JOY of Choice. You must always have to make a Choice & bear the consequence of your Choice. That's our God in His manifestation of Infinity of Consciousness in His Divinity Infinite Projection of Consciousness, being more than able to respond to mankind & beings in many planes in different ways @ the same time. 

Alleluia!! Amen. Hosanna In The Highest!

Blessed Kingdom Comrades @ Zion: Our "Today's Scripture Quote" reveals that everyone who is really determined to become a keeper of integrity and sustain his Faith in Almighty God whilst in an alien world will do well to consider the good example of Biblical Daniel and his three Jewish companions.

No matter how vicious the threat, these three Hebrew keepers of integrity and confidence continued to live by Divine principles. Hence, their display of clean manifestation of heroism of virtues, namely:

 Faith and Integrity. When their lives were in danger, Daniel displayed his counsel and sensibleness against all tempting odds confronting him, yet with respect to the King's superior authority

(Daniel 2: 14-16).

When the issue was forced, the three Hebrew heroes preferred the burning fiery furnace to an act of idolatry, which is spiritual adultery. Daniel preferred the lions pit to foregoing his sacred privilege of Prayer. In each instance God granted protection

(Daniel 3: 4-6, 16-18, 27; 6: 10-11, 23).

Daniel, in fact, provides a splendid example of prayerful reliance on Almighty God; & throws a big challenge to our modern day believers who are incompetent to maintain integrity when their lives are in peril. A Faith strengthening lesson indeed!

Often, in times of trouble @ our passing through the Divine "University Of Temptations, Trials & Tears (Univ.T.T.T.), we, more often than not, fail to realize God's Presence with us. Therefore, we do not know how to find God's hiding place where we rejoice in the shadow of His wings & our hearts are lifted up with song. The Scripture says:

 "For in the day of evil He will hide me in His pavilion; in the secret of His tent will He keep me concealed: He will set me high upon a rock"

(Psalm 27:5).

Morever, often we fail to put the Almighty God first in our lives; we have not so valued the sense of His Divine Presence as to learn more of His Beauty and to inquire into His Purpose and His Thoughts for us. Our souls have not followed hard after Him, as our caring Heavenly Father, so when trouble comes He seems far away and we don't even know the comfort of feeling Him very close to us and His right Hand upholding us.

In fact, to know what Faith in CHRIST De MESSIAH secured to us; and to be practically in the familiar maximum utilization of it, to His Glory, are quite different things. Our Faith in CHRIST De MESSIAH makes us His for eternity, and makes His (Christ De Messiah) Father to be our Father, and The Spirit to be the Holy Comforter to us. It afford us eternity and Heaven, God's Kingdom, and a Divine Comforter to sustain us in time of trouble in the here. Lo and behold, our being so blessed and knowing it too - and the optimum enjoyment thereof and our capacity to act upon it in the time of need are altogether quite different things.

Happy to have such "Famous Jewish Guys" in the persons of Daniel and his three Jewish companions in clean manifestation of heroism of virtues, expressed in ultra-violent Faith and Integrity with ardent zeal and love of their religion. In fact, they are real model keepers of integrity, confidence and goodwill towards God. Truly, great men are always great men!

Regrettably, many a Christian or Zionist nowadays are disappointing God and denying our Great Lord and Saviour, CHRIST De MESSIAH, Who died for us and by His Blood purchased eternal life for us. How many among the strongest adherents of Holy Christianity of nowadays are ready to sacrifice their lives even unto death just for the prevailing of the Truth of the Faith of CHRIST de MESSIAH in their lives?

A Christian or Zionist indeed is not a work of opinion but of greatness of mind, especially when one is hated and persecuted by the world. It is fitting, therefore, that we should not only be called Christians & Zionists, but be so indeed. For Christianity is not the work of outward profession but shows itself in the Power of Faith if a man be found faithful unto the end. And indeed nothing is more noble and powerful than perfect Faith by which all things both spiritual and earthly are possible and all problems abolished. In fact, the beginning is Faith and the end is Love. And these two great virtues joined together, are of God; while all other things, which concern Holy Life are the ingredients and consequences of these.

Even so should we desire to die godly for the sake of the Lord, CHRIST De MESSIAH Who is our Blessed Lord and Saviour. For by so doing we can ever begin to be His Disciples. Nor should anything move us, whether visible or invisible that we may attain to our Blessed Lord, JESUS CHRIST De MESSIAH YAHSHUA. Let fire and the Cross; let the companions of wild beasts; let breakings of bones and tearing of body members; let the shattering in pieces of the whole body and all the wicked torments of the Devil come upon us: only let us enjoy the Lord, CHRIST de MESSIAH. All the ends of the world, and the kingdom of it will profit us nothing.

I would rather die for CHRIST de MESSIAH than rule to the utmost ends of the Earth. Him alone I seek Who died for us; Him I desire; Him alone I seek Who died to save our Souls. At best, that is the sole gain that is laid up for me! 
Alleluia!! Amen. Hosanna In The Highest!
