Some men speak about God as though they have never got a perfect revelation about His nature. Others explain God from their experiences in their walk with Him. A man can use his story to explain God. Sometimes the circumstances that surround men in their walk with God can overwhelm them that one finds space to make it a doctrine.
Some men make following God as something so hard and a conditioned walk, that for you to hit this, you MUST do this. I ask myself a question that, “Do these men still acknowledge the relevancy of grace or they are operating at a level past grace, where their works and their excellency is the reason as to why God is using them?”
Even in the temporal world! Some of those whom life has favored, look at those below them as crazy lazy fellows.
One of the imbalances I have seen is “Seniors speaking to juniors from their levels of spirituality.” Paul says in 1 Cor 9: 19-23 that; “For though I am free from all, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win more of them. To the Jews I became as a Jew, in order to win Jews. To those under the law I became as one under the law (though not being myself under the law) that I might win those under the law. To those outside the law I became as one outside the law (not being outside the law of God but under the law of Christ) that I might win those outside the law. To the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all people, that by all means I might save some. I do it all for the sake of the gospel, that I may share with them in its blessings.”
A man can say; “Walking with God is not for the weak, walking with God is not for the double minded. Which really conquers validity but on which ground? Whom are you communicating to? For a babe in Christ is actually weak and still double minded. Such words don’t aid maturity but instead tear down individuals, yet they are good for another level in spiritual realities.
If you happen to check in the Bible, men like Peter wouldn’t have taken part in this ministry for double mindedness manifested in them even after the resurrection of the Lord until he was fully helped of God. I must say, God is still focused on perfecting the men He has called for his work. He is still making men. Some men fall once and rise not back, but I assure you that there are those that though they fall seven times, they will still get up (Prov 24:16), for the power to rise back is confined in their nature not their outlook.
There is a truth hidden in the parable of Wheat and Tares (Matt 13:24-30), the difference between them while they are growing can’t be got by their outlook, for when you judge them by what you can see, it is easier to pluck out wheat thinking it is a tare because they are almost the same in looks. The difference between them is actually hidden in their nature, it is confined in their source, it is confined in the seed from which they emerged, for no one sows a grain of wheat and it ends up bearing tares and likewise, a tare will never grow up and bear wheat. But during growth, they will both have the same looks at different times.
That means, it’s possible to find a man born of an incorruptible seed (1 Pet 1:23) differing not from that of a corruptible seed at some time in ways and actions, but I assure you, God is still perfecting that which He begun from the foundation of the earth. For what we see is actually a testament of the finished works of God. Things that He has hidden in the hearts of men, He has made everything beautiful in its time. (Ecc 3:11) That which hath been is now, and that which is to be has already been; and God requireth that which is past. (Ecc 3:15).
For the incorruptible seed is the eternal word of God. Have you ever pondered about this verse, Matt 13:12? “For to the one who has, more will be given, and he will have an abundance, but from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away.” It is what you have in your heart that propels more. “But from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away” So what shall be taken away if in the first place he actually has nothing (from the one who has not)? Jesus is speaking of the treasures in the heart of a man, He is speaking of the seed you are born of.
When it was required of Jesus to explain to them the parable of weeds Matt 13:36-39, He answered,
“The one who sows the good seed is the Son of Man.
The field is the world, and the good seed is the sons of the kingdom.
The weeds are the sons of the evil one, and the enemy who sowed them is the devil.
The harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are angels.”
I have spoken this repeatedly, satan thinks that he is making the Kingdom of heaven fail, but what he doesn’t know is that he is actually gathering the weeds he sowed in the field. It is a wisdom he will never understand till the end of time. For though we all have access to listening to the word of God, only those who have, more is given, and those who don’t have, even what they have (what they happen to hear) is taken away from them, for in the first place, they never had. Satan is able to snatch the word of God from those who actually don’t have it within.
It was the prophet Elijah that thought of a generation and said onto God, “I have been very jealous for the LORD God of hosts: for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.” (1 Kings 19:10)
And the Lord in His direction affirmed onto him at last that, “I have left me seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed him” (1 Kings 19:18)
A remnant kept not by its power but by the nature of its seed.
Conclude not the destiny of man under a process, God is still purposed onto making that which He begun before the foundation of the earth manifest because the manifestation is for His glory
God is still making men!
