THE INDEPENDENCE—A’afolarin
Annual Epilogue»June
EPISODE 3
Three of them fought for a falsehood independence; who are they? The first Man, his wife and a certain beast called Serpent. You must have been expecting to see that the Devil was involved; yes he was but the devil in the form that he spoke to Eve has always been part of God's dimension. This is where you need to relax and pay attention to the Word of God in itself. In our next episode I may mention some of the Spirits and dimensions of God that the scripture testify to. The fact is that the Devil is the origin and father of lies. So let us continue. God The Almighty is not at the mercies of any Power or Authority or Kingdom. God The Almighty never existed or emerged from somewhere. There is no atom before Him, there is no matter before Him, there is no spirit before Him, there is no Darkness or Light before Him. There is nothing whatsoever that existed before Him, He is second to none. You want to know how come? Anything that would have existed before Him is God over Him, because from that thing would He have emerged. So God was not discovering what He was or where He could have come from, or who or what could have existed before Him, or was He trying to believe or confess that He is God since no one is where to be found. Are you getting some clear picture of who God is to be found. What a God! What a God!! The physical thing we can see existed in the Spirit realm long before the physical is made known. So cancel that thought of tracing God's existence or His beginning to some few period before the creation of Heaven and Earth. You must have made sounds as if this God is bored, He was power freaked and since He can't be God over nothing He created other spirits, other gods, the heavens, and earth; No! capital No! God is infinite, He is infinite before He created-out the celestials, he is infinite before he created-out heavens and earth and everything that is in them, he is infinite when the created-out man, he is infinite when all is ended. What we know today, everything we can see both in and out of our plants and space, all the revelation of God to us, all our knowledge and understanding, all our inventions and discoveries, all the physical and intangible things we behold that makes us reverence the existence of GOD is below 0.000002% of the majesty of God. We have not even come near to 0.05% of the knowledge of and wisdom of God.
Human over the years have not paid attention to the capacity of human life here on earth: the life created in the beginning in the Image and Likeness of the Almighty God. Our MIND still remains the best gift God created with us as a man, second to the Breath of Life, the Breath of Life however was not created with us, it was deposited in US after we were fully created. Man was initially created a Spirit.
It is very possible to maximize your MIND to its peak capacity, and there is no capacity too high to function in. The MIND is practically the best gift of GOD to Mankind. With our MIND God have set us up to function exactly like him. It is your MIND that brings you to salvation, it is your MIND that brings you into knowing GOD, It is your MIND that makes you prosperous, It is your MIND that makes you successful, it is your MIND that makes you influential, it is your MIND that makes you wise, it is your MIND that makes you important to GOD. So what is the MIND? Many times we heard it is the Spirit of GOD that can do all these things we have mentioned. We have also heard about physical life and spiritual life, the physical life being the life in the limit of our physical mentalities and the spiritual life being the sporadic high life of spiritual manifestations. Most of these fallacious believes have incapacitated us and most of us if not all of us have been functioning less a human.
The most important aspiration of Man is for him to live unlimited—to have all he requires to live a satisfactory life everyday and every time. Can man be satisfied, can he be unlimited? Another lie you’ve refused to let go. Yes, Man can be satisfied, man can be unlimited in the earth concerned to him. But man have not been able to find a permanent solution to this great aspiration. Different approach to attain this has been so frustrating, those who are living towards unlimited life lives in fear and uncertainty. The reason many of us are still struggling to live the glorious unlimited life is our inability to know and use our minds correctly. From the creation of the world, GOD made man perfect, man was made in the image and likeness of GOD, and He clothed us with dust as our carriage. The real-man is the Being in the carriage and that Being is not visible to skin eyes. Just as a perfect carriage takes the form of a real man—like our whole skin takes the shape of our whole skeletal structure, so the image of a perfect carriage is the image of the real-man occupying that carriage. A carriage might be corrupted to take unlikely form, maybe from birth, accident, or genetic abnormality, but as long as the Being in the carriage is man, he is complete even though he might not have been able to control some parts of his carriage or because he has temporarily lost the total control of the some of the parts and organs of his real-man connecting the corresponding parts on his physical carriage. In some cases these parts are no longer present on the carriage, for example total lost of the physical eyes, loss of the physical reproductive system. This is depending on the state of his soul—the soul is the wholly character, the wholly description of the real man. The man in the carriage irrespective of how he looks from the outward has two hands, two legs, two eyes, one head, one heart, one nose, one mouth, one tongue, etc, complete, whether or not he is handicap in the physical; this is because the invisible man is the real man. What I have described is called/regarded as the human spirit by some teachers. That is exactly what I want you to see, that the human spirit, otherwise known as the Spirit-man is not one formless shapeless structure but a well designed, crafted, beautifully and carefully made—this creature looks just like GOD. In genesis, it was written that Man was made first from dust, the whole structure we can see of the carriage of Man is from dust; it is the whole thing: cell, tissues, organs, systems, anatomy and physiology that made up the body; what we see externally and internationally, hormonal activities, that we can use to identify ourselves as humans is the dust-man, it is not the real man, the dust-man was not created in the image and likeness of God, it took the form of the real man. The real deal is the Man inside. We have pay less attention to our real self; we expect nearly all from the dust-man/the carriage and abandoned the themain-themain. This can be explained by citing example of the cloth we put on, when we pull our clothes from our body, we can fold it, we can squeeze it, but when we put it on it takes the shape of our body, the cloth is not more important than the body but in this illustration to what we discussing, that body has just only one cloth to wear during its whole lifetime on earth, it can be renewed, regenerated, but can’t be pulled of, when it is pulled off, that is the end of that body, it is bye-bye, the body is no more existing in the physical; the body in this example is the real-man while the cloth is dust-man/the carriage. The carriage is more than just being a cloth. So the dust-man is not just an ordinary cloth, it is not just a carriage, it is a mysterious power for the man inside. But this power is useless if the man inside the carriage is useless. The dust-man is a great authority for the man inside to function on earth as long as the man inside is still occupying it. Science has not been able to produce either the dust-man not to talk of the real man. Science will not be able to produce a perfect/exact dustman no matter how advance science will go, because the dust-man is more than just being a body/carriage, it is an Authority.
The MIND is God’s special gift to man, remember we discussed that the real man is more complete than how he appears in his body/carriage; the MIND can not be technically located or identified on the body/carriage but it is there on the real man. The MIND is the brain of the real man; i.e. just as what the brain is to the body that is what the mind is to the real man. The real man is a Spirit; so it is wrong to say ‘my spirit is inside me’ pointing to your chest; No, your spirit is not an organ of the real man, your spirit is the whole structure of the real man behind the body, which we have referred to as the carriage in this episode; and it is otherwise known as the flesh. There is only one man in a human being and that is the Spirit-man. Also get this perfectly correct right now and for all—The soul is not another different entity of the human spirit/real man; the soul is same as the human spirit; best put this way it is the wholly character of the human spirit. It is a question of “what is this?” and “who is this?” what is this¿—is the real man, who is this¿—is the soul. For example, you as a human being in the physical, if an Infant is to say what you are, he or she will call you a man, a woman, a girl, a boy, depending on what you are; but you are to ask an adult who you are, he will probably say, this is Mr. Johnson, he is a tall man from the western part of Nigeria, he is married to a foreigner and has two sons and a daughter, he is a gentle, loving and passionate man. If the adult is to continue till everything consistent about you is mentioned and nothing left out, the adult has successfully answered the question of “who you are?” and that is just the simple discernment of the soul. Imagine if the adult had mentioned with it “he is late, and everyone is sure he is sitting with GOD now in Heaven” that means Mr. Johnson has passed on from the earth to greater Glory with GOD; he must have lived a righteous and Christ-like life when he was alive on earth. The significance of the body to man will be discussed in our subsequent Episode. From these subsequent discussions, you will discover the body is not ‘a must do away evil’ portion of Man, it is the vital asset of the real man that makes him fit for the earth—we must make the best use of it. This special asset called body/carriage has put us in charge here on earth—the authority angels and other celestial beings don’t have here on earth. Thanks to GOD, Man is the number one on earth, and second to GOD in Heaven.
The mind is the brain of the spirit man. You might have heard that it is the seat of intellect, the seat of culture and tradition that has become deeply rooted in you unconsciously. They are not totally wrong. But know this, if the mind works with the brain that directs the activities of hormones, there must be something that controls the mind. And that thing must be invisible just like the mind is invisible. What controls the mind is the spirit man/the real man/the man inside, the MIND factually therefore is the invisible brain of the spirit man. The argument that some make is that, if the mind is part of the spirit, while then shouldn't the mind be born again when the spirit gets born again, why is it only the spirit that gets born again and the mind don't because we still remember and act according to our rooted cultures, still remember and desire our ungodly character/attitude even after being born again? They want to have justification for unrighteous living after receiving salvation. And I wonder how do a man function if not by his mind, you are the outward expression of your mind. What you think, remember or do comes from the mind. The spirit of God cannot be defiled, most places where the bible mentioned “”your heart”” does not refer to the Spirit of God living inside us, it is otherwise taking about our MIND. Remember we discussed that the mind is the brain of the spirit man/the real man/the man inside, and the real man also has all the corresponding features/parts of the dust-man/the body/the carriage. That means the real man also has a corresponding heart; that corresponding heart is the Breath of Life, It is the Spirit of God, it is the heart few bible citation is referring to where mentioned the word “”your heart””. That heart organ of the real man can either be the Breath of Life, or death—the Spirit of the Sin. Note this, the Spirit of God can come over your real man in form of atmosphere, it can also live in your real man as an organ—the spirit-heart—the Breath of Life. When the Spirit of God comes upon your real man in form of atmosphere it doesn’t necessarily mean that it is the Breath of Life that is the heart-organ of your spirit at that particular time; to have that atmosphere permanently forever over your real man your human-heart certainly is the Breath of Life. The only terrible thing I think about is for a man to have misplaced “surviving” for “purpose” throughout his spryly soul; the worst thing that can happen to a man is not to discern it at all till he pass away. The Word of God is the oxygen present in that atmosphere supplied through the nostril and lungs of your spirit for the spirit-heart to perform its function. You can’t suffocate the Breath of Life instead you will loss it. That is how “anointing” operates; being anointed does not mean being alive-to-God, it does not mean having the Breath of Life; Anointing/onction can cause you to manifest the power of God but it does not make you a Living Soul. These two forms of heart that we have discussed: the Breath of Life or death—the spirit of the Sin, these two don’t work collectively, they are not pairs, it is either it is the Breath of Life that is there or it is death. Recollect all the functions of the physical heart, what does it do? “The heart pumps oxygenated blood, which carries all vital materials which help our bodies function and remove the waste products that we do not need. For example, the brain requires oxygen and glucose, which if not received continuously will cause it to lose consciousness. If the heart ceases to pump blood the body begins to shut down and after a very short period of time will die. The heart works as a pump moving blood around in our bodies to nourish every cell. Used blood that is blood that has already been to the cells and has given up its nutrients to them, is drawn from the body by the right half of the heart, and then sent to the lungs to be re-oxygenated.”* Now lets translate that into what it is with the real man “”The Breath of Life pumps WORDed-blood, which carries all-you-ever-require-for-Life which helps your real-man to function and remove the every unwanted influence you do not need. For example, the MIND requires the Word of God and His’ energy, which if not received continuously will cause the mind to be carnal. If the Breath of Life is lost the real-man begins to shut down and after a very short period of time will die.”” Thank you Holy Spirit. You might want to know what then is the blood to the real man. That was what we did not translate. Now let’s take a look at the meaning of the biological blood/the body-blood, “the blood is the fluid that circulates through the heart, arteries, capillaries, and veins and is the chief means of transport within the body. It transports oxygen from the lungs to the body tissues, and carbon dioxide from the tissues to the lungs. It transports nutritive substances and metabolites to the tissues and removes waste products to the kidneys and other organs of excretion. It has an essential role in the maintenance of fluid balance.” In the beginning, when God created man, he created him a spirit but before God deposited in him the Breath of Life, the newly created man was not a still object/entity, he was alive but he was not Living, he was not Alive-to-God, even though he was already created in the image and likeness of God. The man at that state has not been carefully made, he is not yet complete, something is missing, he has the Spirit-blood, he has the Spirit-brain which is the mind, but something vital is missing, the spirit-heart which is the Breath of Life; without the spirit-heart the spirit blood, the spirit brain and every other spirit organ and systems will not be able to perform their expected function. Life begins at breath not at conception. So God fixed it, He planted the spirit-heart. From thence, it is necessary that the real man must have a spirit-heart. After the man err automatically the heart is replaced, this transfusion don’t take time, it is immediate, the c-of-o has to change, the property-right has to change, what the real man was now carrying as his spirit-heart was death—the spirit of the devil. That was why he didn’t fall down dead, his still has a spirit-heart that would make his spirit-blood, his spirit-brain/his mind, and all other of his spirit composition to function. So what is the Spirit-blood? The spirit-blood is the water/fluid of his spirit that contains life; it contains the life that makes him a spirit-man in the first place. In animals, the blood of an animal contains the life that made it an animal, in plant the blood of the plant which is chlorophyll is the life that makes it a plant. That is why we have the liberty/the dominion to kill and prepare our domesticated animals and other food-animals for food and no one will charge us for murder, because it carries the animal life not the man life. Every creature we can see contains an atom of its spirit, there is no creature that is not contain an atom of its spirit, including the soil/ground. All creatures was created out of God. All things responds to God including creations. Creatures and Creations are two different things. Creature includes man, animals and everything that has a life in it, but creations don’t have life in itself, they are mostly products from the creatures. E.g. your leader jacket is a creation made from the skin of a bull a creature. This general life present in all creatures especially humans and animals is referred to in some bible verses as the breath of life. The Breath of Life deposited in Adam is what we are particular about, that Breath of Life is completely in its entirety different from the breath of life mentioned in some Bible verses. Get this very clear, that breath of life those verses refers to was already in Adam before He received the Breath of Life we are particular about that other breath of life is not the spirit-heart, it is the life contained in the spirit-blood. It was the life that makes him a human in the first place. An eagle has the breath of life of an eagle that qualifies it to be a bird, a whale has the breath of life that qualifies it to be a fish, etc What does this mean, it means that it is only man that has the spirit-heart among all the creatures and creations on earth. Where the Breath of Life can be found again is with some creatures in Heaven. Remember God said Let US create man in our own image and likeness. Man was created differently. You might want to ask, then what then is corresponding to the spirit-heart in animals? Animals do not have the spirit-heart, not even those animals that have similar organs and systems with that of the body-man/the man carriage. For example some animals have the same heart shape and similar size and weight with that of the body-man, that does not make them have the spirit-heart. They function outward-out, man functions inside-out and some outside in; that makes the souls of other creatures not eternal. Remember we discussed that, every creature have an atom of spirit; and that includes the sun and the moon, the seas and the land, etc; but in the Kingdom of God there is no Sun or Moon, etc. That means what qualifies a spirit to be eternal as a separate entity is when it has the spirit-heart; remember, on earth it is only man that has the spirit-heart, and the spirit-heart can either be Life or Death. so these atoms of spirits present in all creatures, at the end of time will rapt back to God. Here is a scripture pointing to the general breath of life, “For the life of a creature is in the blood, and I have given it to you to make atonement for yourselves on the altar; it is the blood that makes atonement for one’s soul”-Leviticus 17 11. That creature there is an “undefiled”—purportedly a without blemish ram/sheep/goat/calf. Recall how we defined the soul in the early part of this episode. Meaning the blood of those creatures were ceremoniously used for the atonement of the souls of men before the blood of Jesus Christ. That means it was actually impossible for the spirit-heart that is not the Breath of Life to produce righteousness before God.
