SELF-IMPOSED WISDOM
Most of the things we do have an appearance of wisdom, but are self-imposed and it will interest you to know that most religions are driving this wheel of self-imposed wisdom.
What is self-imposed wisdom?
Biblically, self-imposed wisdom is the prior that preaches Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to our chains being on the side of the truth. However, the latter is godly wisdom, which preaches Christ out of love, knowing that we are an instrument to preach and defend the gospel. Nevertheless, here is the good news and that is why the good news not as the bad news, even if Christ preached His life and became a living epistle, so we could also and in this, I will rejoice always.
The wisdom of God does not promote carnality in the place of spirituality, else it becomes sensual and that is why we now have people who profess faith but are very animalistic. The wisdom of God is that all that we will become has already been accomplished in the past before the foundation of the earth, we are only waiting for the right and proper time to be revealed and that time is now because the light has come, therefore, if we are not manifesting, it is because we are still dwelling in the wrong ideological mindset, which now drives our belief.
A groundnut seed has always been groundnut, it will not turn to cola nut seed in London, because it ends with nut. No matter how much you take care of groundnut, it will not change to become what it is not, but if it is properly not taken care of, you won’t yield the increase of the cash crop and same with our faith in God. All that we need to accomplish whatever has been accomplished with the seed of faith, which defines the atom of life as a mustard seed. When a seed is planted, we can only wait in hope by calling those things that be not as though they were.
There is a level beyond planting, we can only wait in hope and this is the level that must speak out and call those things that be not as though they were.
There is a level beyond the planting of seed and this is the level in which the harvested seed is taking to the threshing floor, threshed and ground into powder and the powder mixed and kneaded into the paste until the oil starts dripping. What does this communicate? The level where our faith is a seed drives us into the dimension where our faith must be tried and it is in the trying of our faith that the anointing is ignited and it is at this point we will become outstandingly branded in the spirit, where the seal of our brand becomes the name of the LORD.
Do you know obedience to religious rules and regulation cannot bring salvation?
Do you know being a faithful tither does not guarantee on you God’s blessings?
Why do you think, you be blessed because you are a faithful tither?
Your money or your life, which does God requires of you?
If what God requires is what defines tithe, your life or your money, which is God’s tithe?
The wisdom of God presents Christ as the umbrella of God’s reality, where Christ is the Universal Government, He is the visible image of God (Colossians 1: 15), in Reconciliation, He pleases the Father (Colossians 11: 19, 20), that does not mean He is not the Father, it simply means, He teaches us to please the Father, which implies, He is the drive of our faith because without faith, it is impossible to please God and without Christ, we have no faith to serve God before one could even think of pleasing God.
In Wisdom and Knowledge, Christ is the source of all the treasures (Colossians 2: 2, 3), in Religious observance, in Christ we are alive (Colossians 2: 11- 13) and in true faith, Jesus is our life (Colossians 3: 3), the very author ad finisher of our faith (Hebrews 12: 2).
The wisdom of God did not stop at the points I have explained, even as I was being inspired, it also involved the reality that Christ is the Creator and Sustainer of our lives (Colossians 1: 16 – 17). He reconciles us to Himself (God) through His death (Colossians 1: 21 – 22) and lives in us as our hope of glory (Colossians 1: 27).
All that the wisdom of God will do; self-imposed wisdom cannot do. Worldly philosophy can never and will never at all conform to the knowledge of Christ (Colossians 2: 8), the Head of the church, which implies, we are the body and until the body is united in purpose, the Head cannot tabernacle and this means, Christ cannot come without the church that He is the Head of.
Are you without ahead?
One of the major problem confronting today’s religious system of Christian churches is legalism of some certain dogmatic doctrines (Colossians 2: 16 – 23) and ritual that is not making what we do in the name of worshipping God, appear as pagan worship, more of ritual. In all of our legalistic form of religious ritualism, immorality is still the order that drives what we now call the church system, and all these are only but the self-imposed wisdom of men.
The system is fond of putting a limit when they do not want you to go beyond some certain level of knowledge. The limit of our experience with God is the extent of our knowledge of Him, just as the limit of our communication with the English language is Z.
The English language can never translate correctly God’s Word in its original state of reality because it is limited to explaining reality beyond Y that defines the range of letter called the function of X and Y is the heart of the eye and the eye is the symbol with the unit I typing current impulse called information. What do I mean by range?
If A = 1, Z = 26
The anti- range of A – Z = 1 – 26, while the range is Z – A = 26 – 1 = Y and Y = 25
25 defines Y as BE and BE defines the heart of information as the base of experience and in reality, the base of experience is the thought of man, therefore, Y is the function of the thought of man, while X represents man on the horizontal plane, receiving the impulse of current thought from the vertical plane as inspiration and any inspiration received becomes information, but what happens, when all you receive as inspiration comes from what is being created from the physical dimension, limited to what we see physically and what we hear literally, dependent on what we are being taught.
If what we are being taught is in the range of A – Z, how can we reach a dimension beyond as in the Alpha and Omega?
When the English language is not able to explain the reality of our faith in God, it cannot describe appropriate our experience when it is divinely encountered. The English language will limit the understanding of God’s thought and this is the major reason why we turn our back and often tempt God (Psalm 78: 41) because we think in our myopic mindset that we have known all of God.
The deception begins with narrow mindedness.
We often limit God when we harden our hearts and knowledge of God with men makes us stiff-necked. We are named Christ, He is called the Son of God, we are the sons of God because we believe in His name and have accepted Him (John 1: 12) and this does not bring us to a level of comparing ourselves to Him. The limit of our identity with Christ is likeness, not like, because there is none and there will be none like Him. The LORD is the Everlasting Father and the Mighty God, but when you accept or encounter the true light, you will know He is the Almighty.
When your heart is not yielded to the perfect will of God, your knowledge will limit God from wholly revealing Himself to you, but you need to know that the greatest limitation of God’s wisdom is SELF. Self is the negative current impulse in the heart of man that drives his thought to do things contrary to God’s will. The strength we receive by faith is not physical, but inner strength when Christ dwells richly in your heart and this kind of strength is spiritual, it is propelled by faith, hope and love.
Be rooted and grounded in love, because love is the most beautiful thing.
The wisdom of God is to know the love of Christ, which passes knowledge (Ephesians 3: 19) and the purpose is for us to be filled with the fullness of God. Jesus is the fullness of God and the fullness of God is simply the abundance of His gift that flows from Him to us. It means God completely emptied Himself of self into a form as in the form of man to counter in the heart of man that contrary impulse of self in the heart since man represents an image as of God, it became necessary that God had to take a form as of man to dwell with us, but our knowledge has limited us to think He is a man as we have chosen to become, because we are, so we think He is also.
As a man thinks in his heart so is he, but as God thought in His heart for the sake of man, so He became. By this I mean, God became man, because His thought for man is of love and He does not want a man to perish because of the wages of sin, which is death, so He had to give Himself as a gift of eternal life through Christ Jesus.
It is time to question every knowledge that will leave us with a vague reality of the truth that we need to know about Jesus’ divinity. God’s nativity is not humanity, but divinity with the language of spirituality, therefore, any language apart from spirituality, cannot fit in. It is so unfortunate that the nativity that man has accepted is humanity and that is why our language can never be one because the base of the language of humanity is against the base of the language of God, which began in BABEL, that translates to mean, Base against the base of God, where BA represent the letter base that we were taught if 10 represent the number base that we were taught, but we need to know that the range of 10 is 9 and nine has the alphanumeric code of I.
Even the scripture we have now have severely edited with lots of texts omitted and meaning distorted by a way of trying to translate Sometimes, translating the original text reduces the weight (glory) of the knowledge and as a result of trying to bring the knowledge to a level that it can be understood by all and this also has led to distortions, with men now trying to interpret things in their ways and that is why we now have several schools of thoughts.
