Someone asked me, "What does it take to walk progressively in the revelation of the mind of God?" I told him, it is very easy when walking on the "PATH OF LIFE." When an individual leaves the "PATH OF LIFE," he or she would start receiving a deluded version of things, which gradually graduates into a perverted perspective of things. At that point, right would become wrong and wrong, right and the way of truth would be evil spoken of by such individual.
It is on the "PATH OF LIFE" that one is giving true illumination, which brings things to light, laying them bare as they truly are. On the PATH OF LIFE, our knowledge and understanding of the counsel of God and his purpose for our lives are enhanced.
The price of finding, walking and staying on the "PATH OF LIFE" is simply finding, walking and staying on God's side, which requires a discovery of truth; walking in truth and dying daily to our own ways, plans, purposes and submitting to Gods. It sounds very impossible to a deluded religious soul, but very easy with the grace of God and equally when we come to the realization that, it is all about us enjoying the fruit of the tree of life, which is available to sojourners on the "PATH OF LIFE"- for their well-being, sanity of life, thought, clarity of vision and purpose.
The choice of walking the "PATH OF LIFE" benefit's God nothing; we are the ultimate beneficiaries of this great privilege. God is perfect and we can't improve on perfect. He does not need us to be completed; He was God before we were made and thus, we need him more than he needs us. We can't be completed without him, and walking in the truth is the path to our restoration and ultimate empowerment, not his.
It is important to know that, the "PATH OF LIFE" is not a religious path; in fact, those on this path face their greatest opposition from the religious church world. The reason is simple! Those on the "PATH OF LIFE" expose the compromise, delusion and deviation of those who claim to be of God, but walking on the paths they have created and initiated. That's why, once you choose the "PATH OF LIFE", which is the path of finding the truth, walking in truth and dying daily to your own ways, plans, purposes and submitting to Gods, you would start having outright attacks from those you expect to encourage you.
If you are a minister of the word, some pulpits and churches would close their doors to you and won't allow you in because of the “compromise” on such pulpits. In fact, while you become a savor of life to other fellow sojourners of the "PATH OF LIFE," you would be regarded as a savor of death to those who have chosen the “broad road.”
What is God doing today?
He is reaching out to save as many as he could save who are in church, but walking in their ways, and not walking the path of life. This is the awakening going on right now and it is God's mercy attempt to save the lost in the “church.” It is the greatest rescue mission ever undertaken by heaven. We all are called upon to reexamine our walk whether we are in the faith and walking on the path of life.
Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Matt 7: 13-14.
Have a blessed week.
