The high priestly ministry of Jesus is the secret of inheriting everlasting life. We can’t inherit everlasting life without that ministry being operational.
There is spiritual growth and everlasting growth. The incorruptible seed is the seed calling for growth. As we have grown spiritually, we should also grow everlastingly. The Church Peter was writing to already had formation of Christ, they had received the sanctification of the spirit and were champions in the realm of Christ, but there is a higher allocation they are to be born into by the giving of incorruptible seed – “22 Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently: 23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.” (1 Peter 1:22- 23)
The incorruptible seed isn’t given to us at new birth. What a saint is given at new birth is the seed of Abraham, which is Christ. (Galatians 3:16) – “Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.” (Genesis 17:7) – “And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee.” The seed God was referring to when He blessed Abraham is Christ. God cannot make Covenant with anyone less than Christ, which is Abraham’s seed. The commitment of God to Abraham’s seed is the commitment of God himself. We must be seeds before we receive the incorruptible seed of God.
For us to be able to partake of the sincere or pure milk of the Word, we must have loved the brethren from a pure heart fervently.
The pure milk we see in 1 Peter 2:2 (“As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby.”) is not the same milk seen in 1 Corinthians 3:1-2 (“And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ. 2 I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.”) There is babe in Christ and babe in God. The milk found in 1 Corinthians 3:1-2 is a milk provision for babes in Christ, while the pure milk is for babes in God. The milk for babes deals with envies, strifes and divisions, while the pure milk deals with the remnant of these infirmity and makes us completely whole.
Pure milk will empower us to overcome certain sin natures; God wants us to grow everlastingly and He measures us by incorruptible seed. The bringer of the incorruptible seed is the high priest. It’s from seed to seed and every life has its own seed.
Until we become born again, we are dead in sins and trespasses – “And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins.” (Ephesians 2:1). The first life we receive at the new birth is the life of Christ. This life is a form of a seed. It’s a seed given to us by the Holy Spirit to make us born of the spirit, then when we are born of the spirit, we become Abraham’s seed. (Genesis 17:7) – “And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee.” To become Abraham’s seed in our soul, we must have to put on Christ – “For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.” (Galatians 3:27). To be baptised into Christ isn’t water baptism, but it is to receive the preaching of Christ and come into his full nature. The promise of God in Galatians 3:29 (“And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise”). is the promise of an everlasting covenant which is only Abraham’s seed.
Some of our sinful natures will not go until we cut covenant with the high priest, this is because these natures are everlasting and our souls have already made an everlasting covenant with them. We can die and still go to heaven with these natures. In the world to come these natures will be revealed.
A nature can be suppressed but it doesn’t mean it has been removed. When we face situations of life these suppressed natures will most times rear their heads. Suppressing our sinful nature doesn’t mean we are saved – it only takes a situation to expose it. Some sins aren’t just acts but are intrinsic in us, and because we have corporated with these natures overtime, we’ve made a covenant with them.
However, just as God led Jesus into the wilderness to be tempted and he came out sinless, so also in these last days, God will deal with us and lead us through tests and circumstances and we will come out sinless.
We need to first see the person of our Lord Jesus before we know about his ministry, because his ministry is about his person on the inside.
Our Lord Jesus has an everlasting nature as a covenant, He has a nature that cannot yield to sin, He is holy, harmless, even when he was reviled, he reviled not against them that reviled him (Hebrews 7:26) –“For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens.” (1 Peter 2:22) – “Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth.” (Isaiah 53:7) – “He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.” His Holy nature is such that cannot be pulled by sin even in the face of scourging and cruel mocking. The nature we find in our lord Jesus is the nature for an ideal man. The essence of the ministry of Jesus is to install his very nature in us.
The teachings of Jesus in Matthew 5 were not just words of mouth, but were things he did and has become part of his nature – “The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach.” (Act 1:1).
There is a sin that is an everlasting nature in man. Fornication, lying, stealing are both natural and spiritual sins. Spiritual sins are sins peddled by spirits, it’s when evil spirit meddles with our soul to enforce a nature. With spiritual growth, some of these ‘spiritual sins’ will be cleansed.
However, it’s good to know there are some sins that are beyond spiritual, but everlasting in nature. E.g there are some malice that are spiritual, but higher than that, there are malice that are everlasting in nature. So also is pride, there is a spiritual side to pride, but much more, there is the everlasting version as found in lucifer.
Being born again of everlasting seed is where sins of everlasting root are dealt with. Until we enter everlasting court, there are many sins we won’t see as sin e.g planning our tomorrow etc. We are in a poor and needy state. If we’re exposed to certain temptations, our sins will be exposed. We are at a phase where an hour of temptation will come upon every man, every man’s work will be tried by fire and we will see what sort we are made up of. (Revelations 3:10) – “ Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.” We cannot say we are an overcomer if there is no temptation.
It’s high time for every soul to embrace the ministry of the high priest. Without the equipping of the ministry of the High priest, we cannot escape. When our sins are revealed in the face of temptation, we should be grateful to God, but not stay there, we should run to the high priest.
Even when we’ve purified our soul in unveiling the unfeigned love of the brethren, we’re not yet saved. That’s not where we should stay – christianity is that difficult (See Matthew 7:14) – “Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.”
The solution God has offered to save us is the ministry of the high priest. We should pray for the prosperity of the high priestly ministry of Jesus.
The background of the raising of the High priest is that God raised a man who went through all we are currently going through yet without sin – “For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.” (Hebrews 4:15). Our sins which the High priest is touched with, are the sins of our soul. Our souls are diseased and it’s the diseases in our soul that makes us sin – “I said, Lord, be merciful unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.” (Psalms 41:4). The tendencies of our soul are infirmities of our souls.
1st Tongues and Interpretation
The love of the Father is jealous
It’s a jealous love even against this world
He that must do the will of the father must hate this world
You cannot love the father and love the world at the same time
It’s a careful terrain –
you must take the knife and cut your appetite for the love of the father to prevail.
For the love is a jealous love and He does not want anyone to contend with it at all
We must live our life with all knowing that there is a tomorrow
And we must give account of all our works and know that our sufficiency is in Jesus
He that loves this live hates the father
I am emphasising over again –
you have come to a season where you just begin to check your love level
You must be jealous of what your heart is seeking for
You must be jealous of your life, your walk, your decisions, the way you live your life.
He that loves this life hates my father
You need to slim down
You need to cut down
You need to be deliberate to kill your enemy
You say it’s not easy – straight is the way that leads to life
You have to kill it because even the patriarch of old killed it
I don’t want you to weep at this last time
So I am bringing warnings to you
Kill it before it’s too late.
Message Continues…
Jesus had an incorruptible life and because of that, he is the only one that can help mankind. God raised a man who was tempted at all points yet without sin – him being without sin shows he is incorruptible. Yea, he was incorruptible in the days of his flesh. The program God set before Jesus was the program of incorruptibility.
The word didn’t become flesh for nothing, if the word died on the cross with corruption, he won’t be able to deliver us from corruption. We will just have our sins forgiven, but we will not have deliverance.
So, God set the agenda of incorruption before Jesus and set temptation at various points to try him. But thanks to God, Jesus was able to fulfil the agenda of God. The agenda of incorruption is the work God gave him in the days of his flesh – “I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.” (John 17:4).
With Jesus being raised incorruptible, God was able to procure forgiveness of sins for mankind, and much more enacted and ordained a program of incorruption for every man.
(Ephesians 2:1) “And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins.”
(Acts 20:28) “Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.”
This blood is the everlasting blood that can blot any kind of sin. By Jesus’ death at the cross, his blood paved a way for incorruption into the earth again, it paved a way for man to be granted entrance again into that life of incorruptibility. It’s a violation of pulpit when the dead are brought to the pulpit to preach in the name of success. Anybody that is not born again is not in the radar of success. The only success heaven recognizes is a soul acquiring or inheriting the incorruptible life.
People should not be judged by what they have physically, they should be judged by the state of their souls.
The program of incorruption begins with us first receiving the seed of Abraham (Christ) from the Holy Ghost, and when we receive and complete the curriculum of Christ, we will then receive the high priest ministry of Jesus by the giving of the incorruptible seeds.
The essence of the High priestly ministry of Jesus is to make us incorruptible. The ministry the father gave to Jesus is a trust that through it, many sons will be made incorruptible. The raising of incorruptible men by the high priest is the praise the father seeks. The focus of the high priest isn’t how much we possess in the natural, but how he can save us – “Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.” (Hebrews 7:25), and the saving of the soul is the turning of the soul from corruptible to incorruptible. Jesus wants to present us incorruptible – that’s the praise God seeks. To be incorruptible is to be sinless.
To weigh ourselves by how much more meek, patient, loving we’re becoming – “Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy.” (Jude 1:24).
