THE GREY AREA

-

Many believe that there are grey areas between light and darkness, between things of the Spirit and those of the flesh. The area intermediate between two mutually exclusive states where the border between the two is fuzzy, so is the term defined. Every human reasonings of the Spirit-inspired scriptures will always create the grey areas in which we so choose to live by. Many believe that there are some other ways (proffered by some religious groups) through which man may enjoy an eternal ending in the presence of the Divine being. It is the grey area that give room for such declarations and pronouncement of glorious exiting of departed souls who knew not the Way. It is the grey area that makes “anointed” leaders of denominations proclaiming the Way and yet indulge in “secret and shameful deeds,” “maneuvering and manipulating behind the scenes” and “twisting God’s Word to suit themselves.” Nothing but the grey area will make the followers of such leaders explain away such atrocities observed in their “father in the Lord” for the sake of “protecting the anointing.”  It is the grey area that brought about the classification of lies: the acceptable and unacceptable tweaks to truths, white lies and the black ones, individual, business or corporate lies. It is still this area that rules in favor of “majority carries the day”, giving place to such dangerous idealogies among christians of “if you can’t beat them, better you join them” and “God is not wicked as to allow men spend eternity in hell” Grey areas create room for human views and tradition of men to be taught as doctrines.
In spite of these grey areas,  the Scripture is clear:
  • “I am the Way, the Truth and the  Life: no man cometh unto the Father but by me.” (John 14:6)
  • Do not try to work together as equals with unbelievers for it cannot be done. How can right and wrong be partner? How can light and darkness live together? (2 Cor. 6:14)
  • But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars - they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulphur. (Rev. 21:8)
  • Do you think their faithlessness cancels out His fathfullness? Not on your life! Depend on it: God keeps to his word even when the whole world is lying through its teeth. Scripture says the same: Your words stands fast and true; Rejection doesn’t faze you…” (Rom3:3-4)
Lingering in the grey area is deadly. Believe in the simplicity and veracity of His words. Let the understanding He grants by his wisdom and revelation inform your decision to live in the Light. The grey areas are but an illusion and the conception of the human mind.

Darkness apprehended it not…

-
And the light appears in darkness, and the darkness apprehended it not . (John 1:5 DARBY) I will go more with the Darby's translations of this verse in bringing home the reality of this scriptures to us.  The light appears in darkness, and the darkness apprehended it not.  To apprehend means to take hold of or to seize. It means to take hold of with the understanding, i.e. to conceive in the mind. The word "apprehend" clearly expresses a key behavior of darkness. Have you ever wondered why whatever you place in front of a little baby, he/she would always want to take hold of it even if that object could hurt him/her. It is innate in man to always apprehend his immediate environment. Apprehension was a result of the fall of man. When God created man, he was never created to apprehend by inquisition but by intuition . Let us look at the first assignment Man performed before the fall. And out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field, and every...

A SEAMLESS OPERATION

A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you; and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh. Ezek 36:26 (ASV) It will be easy enough to comprehend and believe that aspect of God giving us a new spirit, since we are usually oblivious to the existence of our spirit. So when we ask for a new spirit even at conversion, we are told to believe that God has done it. Indeed, He has! But before that promise of a new spirit is; A new heart... will I give you... How will this happen? When does this take place? The easy way out of these questions is to assume that the heart referred to here may have to be the ‘spiritual heart.’ “It just got to be spiritual...“ one would say. Well, think again... As if to knock out any inclination of such thought lines, the passage further stresses the substance of the heart; ...and I will take away (remove) the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh. Friends, ...

All Have Gone Astray

-
Isaiah 53:6 - All we like sheep have gone astray, we have turned every one to his own way;... God's declaration is clear. He said 'ALL' (meaning everybody) have gone in the wrong direction. He knows we have all gone in the wrong direction, but the biggest issue is whether we have realised that we are heading in the wrong direction. A thousand people will have a thousand ways they are heading because EVERYONE has turned to their own way, which means 1000 wrong ways. We may have hundreds of logical reasons to prove that the way we are heading is right, but have you ever wondered what brought God to this conclusion?  Consider Proverbs 14::12: "There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death." I implore you my dear friends, to take time to really consider your ways, whether it be the Way. God bless you all.
