Mess is an acronym I have coined, meaning Morally Evil Secret System.
In the era we are in, believers in Christ Jesus must not mould the values of their faith on the principles of this world. The world is lusts driven, but the Word of God is love-driven. The reason why the church system is tending the direction of great apostasy is that love is no longer the driver of our mindset, so for us to remain on the right course, we rid ourselves of all form of lusts.
1 John 2: 15, 16
Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in Him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life are not of the Father, but it is of the world.
The love of the Father is simply the mind of Christ and when we depend completely on the Holy Spirit, we will not just be the hearers of the Word alone, but also doers and it is in this our attitude is shaped to align into the perfect will of God.
It is not the believer in Christ’s mandate to bring peace to the earth, but the believer’s mandate to preach peace and the gospel is peace with the message of love, so there is no confederation of faiths to ensure peace, it will rather form a Babel-like system. I see! I can see what happened in the time of the tower of babel happening in this end time, but this time, it will be Babylon the great falling down. Babylon the mother of all prostitute and the foundation of spiritual harlotry.
There is a morally evil system opposing all that God is and holds dearly.
The shaping of our mindset is to reach the mind of Christ.
What is the mind of Christ?
Isaiah 40: 13
Who has directed the Spirit of the LORD, or as His counsellor has taught Him?
We do not need the world’s ideologies to shape our mindset, because a brand plucked from the fire, stay branded and will not experience the world’s rebranding. After all, you are fire-proved. The mind of Christ is for us to be spiritual, not carnally minded. We can only judge things correctly from the perspective of the Spirit and this is because we have the mind of Christ (1 Corinthians 2: 215, 16). The mind of Christ must be in us, having known that Jesus is not like many religious confused scholars or what these scholars have tagged Him to be; He is the I AM THAT I AM who took the form of a bondservant and came in the likeness of men (Philippians 2: 5- 8). All godly actions begin with the renewal of the mind, which defines the very absolute and right thinking. Do you know your actions are only but the fruit of your deepest thoughts?
The mind of Christ is for us to set our eyes on Him, not on magic wands promoted by some of our big-name men of God. We must set our mind on Christ and keep it set on what is above (Colossians 3: 2) and this is the key to resisting temptations.
In the church, gossiping is never and can never be the mind of Christ, but this has eaten down deep into our hearts. You can never be an agent of positive change when the mind of Christ is you do not have
The mind of Christ is for us not to conform to this world, and this can only be possible when we experience the transformation by the renewal of our minds (Romans 12: 2).
The mind of Christ working in us desires to bring glory to God (John 17: 5) alone, not to any system designed by men, not even the church system. If to glory is to a particular church because of her popularity, you are on a broad path to hell, even when your language has become it is well.
The mind of Christ is to provide salvation for sinners (Luke 19:10)
The wisdom of God is overwhelmingly surpassing the knowledge of men and if you have the mind of Christ, God’s truth will become your perfect drive, not the ideologies of men.
Whatever affects your thought will shape your mentality and form your behaviour.
We are in an era where truth is costly scarce, such that what we hear and buy into are mostly falsehood and distorted truth or what sound like the truth that is much more deceptive than falsehood. What sounds like the truth will drag you into comfortable bondage. Knowledge is increasing and men are going back and forth in search of knowledge (Daniel 12: 4). Unfortunately, the system has been infiltrated with information that is far from the truth and this is the reason why, men no longer love the truth, but would rather prefer the lies that would whet their selfish appetite and make them feel comfortable charting an evil course and calling evil good and good evil.
The motive of men seeking knowledge is for their selfish gain, to hold control over fellow gullible men and that is why they have defined knowledge as power. Selfish men can never find true knowledge because their motives are never true and sincere. Men would naturally not choose the knowledge of the fear of the LORD. Therefore, as knowledge increases, it will be the knowledge opposing the truth. Do you know what? Any knowledge that does not end in the LORD God Almighty will only breed wickedness. What do we see in our churches today?
The knowledge of the fear of God is godly wisdom.
Men are often full of their fancies, so they will rather prefer fantastic fictions than the very truth. The wise is simply a person with an understanding heart and such a person can never be satisfied with the limit of his knowledge of God since the understanding is that God’s wisdom is eternal.
The pursuit of wisdom and knowledge is a life-long occupation and one can hardly fully realize it in this lifetime.
Luke 11: 49
Therefore, the wisdom of God, also said, ‘I will send them. Prophets and apostles and some of them will kill and persecute.
1 Corinthians 3: 19
For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, “He catches the wise in their craftiness.
The puzzles of God’s wisdom is encrypted in words scripturally vaulted in impenetrable darkness; you need to have to open the vault to be able to unlock the mystery in the puzzle that state that Jesus is the absolute revelation of God.
Daniel 12: 4 (AMP)
But you, O Daniel, shut up the words and seal the Book until the time of the end. (Then) many shall run to and fro and search anxiously (through the Book), and knowledge (of God’s purpose as revealed by His prophet) shall be increased and become great.
Isaiah 45: 3 (AMP)
And I will give you the treasures of darkness And hidden riches of secret places, that you may know that it is I, the LORD, the God of Israel, who calls you by your name.
