Message: Perfecting the Seal of Christ
Minister: Pst. Tope Falaye
One thing about the Bible is that its way surpasses our understanding, and a lot of humility is needed to comprehend and relate with scriptures. We need a lot of humility and patience to get the best of God. We can have an attitude that shows that we already know the scripture, but we don’t, we only receive of God many times only what our vessel can receive and not all of Him. We need a lot of humility and help, alongside God’s sovereign mercy to be able to approach God’s word. We must approach God’s word, not sounding conclusive, but following those who He authorizes and places to administer His word.
(Eph. 1:12) — “That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.”
We must be humble also to realise that not all of us including some preachers have gotten to the place of the praise of his glory.
The Epistles are food for the aged.They are not simple; they are inscriptions of the inside of Jesus, who is a man of the world to come. All of the Epistle writers in the Bible are Apostles of Jesus Christ and not of the earth. The epistles are written about a person, and every of their writings attested to, introduced and communicated a person; our Lord Jesus Christ.
Through the mercies that have been penned down in the Epistles the Lord wants to birth His nature in our souls. (Eph. 1:13) – “In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,” – Those who have first trusted in Christ should be to the praise of His glory. Through them God will demonstrate His glory to the point of it becoming a praise. These are those who Romans 8:23 spoke of. The first fruit of the Spirit are those who got the work that the Holy Spirit came to do in a soul. These are the natures that the learning of Christ will wrought in a person (Eph. 5:8-9).
Goodness is a nature wrought in someone who has used or obeyed the doctrine and righteousness of Christ; it is a fruit of a life in Christ. A person who has used the doctrine of Christ and obeyed it, such a one is good. Sin has redefined what is good. This goodness is not the one understood by the world, it is a spiritual nature recognized in the spirit.
Jesus grew into realms of goodness (Psa. 106:1). The first goodness was found in Him as Christ. We can’t find nor understand this goodness until we have been exposed to this goodness. We see Him being called a good master (Matt. 19:16-17). Jesus is called Christ; and Christ can be learnt (Eph. 4:20-21). In the parable of the sower, we see the word ‘earth’ used as a type of ground. Our soul, particularly our heart can be likened to the earth. (Matt. 13:3).
When the gospel is preached, the first place it lands is our mind. If our brain has been so conquered by the word, when received, it lands in the mind. Many of us until the word conquers us, we listen to it with a shield upon our minds. The brain for example isn’t the soul, but there is an invisible part similar to the brain called the mind that is connected to the soul. It takes the word of God to listen to our soul or spiritual heart beat; a stethoscope can’t be used. The real heart that can’t be seen is that which the Lord desires to be saved.
For those who have exercised themselves in the things of the world, the first place that responds to the word when preached is their brain. God’s word first comes to our mind, when we are being taught. The earth the Lord wants to plant His things is the heart not the mind. The mind is the gateway to the heart.
(Eph. 4:17) It is in the mind that the eyes of understanding is enlightened. The mind can be vain, how we think can be vain. Vanity is anything that will pass away with the world when it’s destroyed; it won’t be able to withstand the test of God’s fire. At a level, a new believer will require milk which is a proper word of God but it is not enough to open or enlighten the eyes of a believer’s understanding. If our eyes need to be open, when did we become blind? How did we become blind?
(Gen. 3:3-7) As much as it looked like the devil deceived them, some of the things he said were also true to an extent. When they ate the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil, they didn’t die immediately, also, they were already on their way to becoming as god. What he did not tell them is that they will start dying until they fully die. Because their eyes were opened through what they ate in the garden, that also ultimately opened the eyes of every man to the knowledge of sin (knowledge of good and evil that Satan offers). God warned concerning the tree because it is a giver of (another) knowledge (Gen. 2:16-17).
God can’t be seen with our visible eyes (Rom. 1:20). The invisible things of God in His wisdom were left in His creation. (Gen. 1:28) He put a type of the knowledge of Christ in Adam’s soul and added a measure of everlasting life in him (Gen. 2:7) and wanted him to get the fullest measure of everlasting life through his obedience. God also created the earth in such a way that by observing the earth, man can know the invisible things of Him.
The invincible things of Him are the spiritual things of Him, they speak of the spiritual essence of man. Even though God put His knowledge in man, He left a witness in the way He made the earth so that we are without excuse. However, for us, we are to learn through scriptures, because the earth has been corrupted by Satan. The more he deforms the earth in the name of civilization, the more he drives us away from finding God.
God initiated a different order of worship based on how man had fallen. In the days of Abraham, and Balaam, they could go on top of the mountain to worship. God also moved the order of worship to tabernacle and then to temple but God has left that order of worship. The best of worship before Jesus came was found with Adam before the fall.
We see that Adam worshipped God not on the mountain or sea. He had a height that he was fellowshipping with God based on knowledge and living by a high faith of the type of spiritual nature God put in his soul and the faith of the everlasting nature that God put in his soul. It was after the fall God had to initiate different ways of reaching men in their different generations.
God hid Christ in Himself. Christ was God’s joker. God is everlasting eternal and He had a man (Christ) who is the invincible thing He kept in Himself. Without this man we cannot reach Him.

Rise and Eat for the strength of the journey is in the meal,
Fight to eat for there is a thief around that wants to cheat you out of the meal, strength and knowledge.
Fight, eat, for I purposed this meal for you,
I want to show you the knowledge for it connotes strength for you,
You will do valiantly with this knowledge,
So rise, eat, shake off,
Do not be cheated by this liar,
Eat, there is strength for you to sit up and eat,
Strength is available, don’t believe that you are tired,
It’s a lie, eat! Your body is not tired,
Eat, your body needs this, your mind needs this, the entirety of your being needs this,
Eat, don’t settle for that lie.

(Eph. 3:8-9) — “Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ; 9 And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:” – The first mystery taught to a child is the mystery of Christ.
(Rom. 1:20) – “For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:” – We all have an invincible thing. The visible part is our body while our spirit and soul is hidden or is invincible but it is there, buried inside of us. What is visible is what is formed, what is invincible is created. Gen. 1:27 was the creation of the spirit and the soul.
(2 Cor. 5:17) – “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” Anything that is created is spirit in nature. At new birth, our spirit was recreated, however our souls were only purchased, it has not inherited the nature of Christ in the spirit (Eph. 1:14). The preaching of Christ to us is to teach our souls what will make our souls as new as our spirit is new. (Eph. 4:22-24) – “That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; 23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; 24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.” – This scripture is to the soul to put off the old man and to become as new as the spirit now is in Christ (new man).
(Eph. 5:8) – “For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:” – This is an admonition for us to walk. The people addressed here are those that have used milk and have grown spiritually. The commandment to walk is not given to babies (new believers). Babies don’t walk, they are carried first.
For the Ephesian church, in their spirit they are already light, but in their soul they are darkness. We see in Ephesians 1, they were already children. Paul started praying for them for the eyes of their understanding to be enlightened (Eph. 1:16-18).
What milk of God’s word achieves in a child is for him to walk by faith and in love. Faith and love are the two legs of a child. Until you can walk by faith and love, you are not a full child. Every born again believer is a saint. God doesn’t call us saints based on what we have done, but by what He accomplished on our behalf. We must come to a place where we love all saints and not only those of our denomination.
All of us start as saints when we become born again. Saints are babies but God wants to raise us to a Christ man who is a faithful or perfect man (Col. 1:2, Eph. 1:1-2, 4:11-13). Many of us might feel we are not saints, but He doesn’t call us saints based on what we have done.
(Eph. 1:1-2) Faith is not always in seeking the Lord for things. The strongest faith is that which seeks God for God. This is faith towards God. It is an attitude of faith to seek God. Part of the behaviour of the milk faith can be seen in miracles and healing and casting out demons but a stronger faith can be seen in trusting the Lord for healing, not being healed and yet still coming to church and seeking God. Such a person is walking in the spirit. Love towards all saints is loving someone because they are born again. Only those that can walk can then begin to walk as children of light (Eph. 5:8)
(Rom. 1:20) God is Everlasting (Father) and Eternal (God). God cannot be connected without His man – Christ. In creating Adam, He put a template on how we can find Him.
Though our spirit is Christ, we must press on for our soul to also become Christ.
We can never learn/get the life of something without beginning with its knowledge.
(Gen. 2:16-17) When Adam and Eve ate of the tree, they ate the knowledge of the devil as a fruit and the fruit has a seed. The seed is its wisdom (Gen. 3:6-7). Their eyes being opened meant they knew some things that God did not author. The tree they ate from had the capacity to enlighten man twice but only one illuminated them immediately. God had to limit the growth of the seed in them and moved them out of the garden so the tree of the knowledge of good and evil will not thrive in them.
As a result of their disobedience, though it looked like nothing happened to them, they had just died in their souls. This disobedience brought curses upon everything (Rom. 5:12, Gen. 1:28). This is because Adam’s dominion is supposed to be upon all of creations. Satan who was already cursed, having trapped curse upon himself, transferred curse upon man.
The curse didn’t come upon man when Eve ate of it, it was until Adam who bore the authority ate it that he brought curse upon man. Everything that once had a signature of blessing now began to have traces of curses. Death was alien to creation before the fall.
God doesn’t think in death quantum, only life. The consequence of Adam’s disobedience was the change in course of many things. Death became a fabric of creation and Adam’s spirit died. Satan killed it.
Living the right life, creating the right environment will create an atmosphere for children to grow and get born again before their spirit dies. Every unbeliever spirit is carrying a curse and is dead.
(Rom. 5:12, Gen. 4:7) Sin is a person. It is Satan’s first personality. He is both sin and death personified.

Sin is not fornication, lying e.t.c. They are the byproduct of the person (sin) that came in. They are the works of sin. Many things that have become normal to us, there was a time they were alien and/or strange to man.
Lucifer had fallen before the creation of Adam. Lucifer now Satan the devil wanted to enter the earth and went though the first animal who disobeyed God, that is the serpent. He possessed the serpent to tempt Adam & Eve (Gen. 3:14-15). All of Satan couldn’t enter, because Adam wasn’t exposed to all the knowledge of the devil, but sin entered from the knowledge he got exposed to.

(James 1:13-14) – “Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: 14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.”
When a man is tempted, he is not tempted by God. God doesn’t have temptation so He can’t tempt. He doesn’t have what it takes to turn. Temptation comes from beings that have turned, from beings that are perverted.
The beginning of temptation is that there is something the tempter can use to pull the soul.
One can be pulled without getting enticed or buying into the temptation. The lust originates from us. Whatever wants to tempt us first looks to what we lust for. We cannot be tempted if we have no lust. We all lust after different things.
Lust is a product of the seed of the tempter in man. He knows what lust every man is drawn to. The things we lust after are the things that glorify self. No lust ends in giving glory to God even though it may look like it. Lust can open a church branch, lust can be in the mission field. Some lusts look righteous and pious but it takes growth to see lust.
God doesn’t reward lust, He rather rewards our inward works. If you don’t fulfil the full cycle of lust, that is being pulled/drawn and enticed, it doesn’t lead to sin. It can even begin with good intentions but lust can find it way in. The reason for lust is to tempt us, to have something to pull us into sin. Lust makes one easily drawn away. There is someone at the other end of lust, drawing the one who is being tempted.
When lust is triggered it begins to inform the individual on the action to take until it fulfils the lust. Lust can be ambition or a better picture of ourselves. Lust can be better status, name, husband e.t.c.
Many times God’s mercy intervention to prevent lust from being conceived then looks like God is unmerciful. Lust begins as a thought. When lust is conceived is when lust is enticed. For lust to be conceived, it means such a person has been made to carry a child called sin.
Sin is a person. Sinners are those who do the bidding of sin. When sin is done to its fulness, that person stops responding to God. This is called death.
The Lord told Cain “sin lie lieth at thy door”. The door is his heart, the window is the mind. (Gen. 4:7). Sin is invisible, it’s against faith, against the spiritual. Sin brought a definition. Cain was doing the thing that sin desired. After some time, Cain could not stand the presence of God (Gen. 4:16-17). The real child Cain birthed after lust was conceived was the city called Enoch. It’s not good to be too intelligent against the foolishness of the gospel. We must learn to lean on the invinsible.
(Col. 2:8) Sin is a teacher and spoils men through philosophy and vain deceit. Sin is a light to the world. Sin is so strong it is preached in church. Another name for sin is flesh (Gen. 6:3). The church preaches against the works of the flesh but is unable to discern flesh itself.
(Rom. 8:1) Jesus did not only free us from sin and death that Adam allowed to enter but also hell and death; that is the strength of what sin morphed into by further obedience to sin.
(Rom. 1:16-17) – “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. 17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.” – Faith is a person. God sent a man (Jesus Christ) to the earth to put an end to sin and death. We cannot be free from sin if we don’t also begin with the knowledge of Jesus.
(Eph. 1:13) To be sealed is to be given a stamp of preservation to what has been done in our spirit. The things of everlasting life are things of the Son of God. They are the things of Him as a divine man. The things of Christ are the things of Him as a man. The teaching of Christ is the teaching of salvation to a measure.
(Eph. 2:5) – “Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, by grace ye are saved; 6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:”
Every spirit of persons who are born again has experienced salvation, but not all the salvation there is. The life of Christ was used to save the spirit.
(Eph. 1:13) To believe is for our heart to receive the word and obey it. How we show we believe is that our heart agrees and obeys. Until it touches the heart, we have not really believed. Whatever holds our heart defines who we are (Prov. 23:7). Our mind is propelled by illumination and understanding. We touch life for us to make heartfelt decisions.
(1 John 5.1-4) – “Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him. 2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments. 3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. 4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.”
Children here are those in the domain of God. We need to read this scripture with context else we believe this scripture is speaking to everyone. A heart that believes is a heart that overcometh the world. (Eph. 6:12) The peak of the world and who we are to overcome are spiritual wickedness in high places. How we wrestle and overcome the world is through the gospel of Christ and the leading of the Spirit to go against the world. As we obey the instructions revealed, it shows we believe.
Believing is not mental ascent, it is a demonstration of laying down our life in obedience to the standard of God that is being raised as the gospel is being preached. For a person to receive the seal of the spirit, it means such a person has believed, and believed unending. It’s doing obedience to the end. Obedience is not in how long but in how well. As we obey and obey, He seals our heart.
At new birth, our spirit was sealed but our hearts have not been sealed. Hearts being sealed is obedience fully done. This seal is the first inheritance given to those who have obeyed. This is not just the Holyspirit in our spirit but Holyspirit in our soul.
(Eph. 4:30) – “And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.”
A person who has done Christ, they seal such a one with the Holyspirit in his soul. At new birth, we are only sealed in our spirit. The Holyspirit is a person, His wine is a drink. Many times when we pray and feel so much of the spirit, this feeling can eventually wane. The reason we feel so is because the Holy Spirit is in our spirit and not in our soul. What makes Him wrap around our soul is that He sees Christ in our soul because He is the Spirit of Christ.

A person who just believed needs to keep experiencing the infilling of the Holyspirit (Eph. 5:18). One who has fully obeyed the Spirit of Christ is given the seal of the Holy Spirit (Eph. 1:14). Our soul and body was purchased but our spirit was born. Our soul is being sealed with the knowledge of Christ.
Satan has two things to offer – his man of sin and son of perdition. God also has two things – Christ and Son of God. At the level of Christ, if Satan brings the man of sin, He won’t fall. The Holy spirit seals the person who has finished the learning of Christ. Such a man will need to also begin and finish the learning of the Son of God.
Both Christ and the Son of God are Jesus. They are natures in Him. The person of the Spirit seals the soul until the soul is fully redeemed through the bringing of the knowledge of the Father. After Christ is sealed with the Holy Ghost in a soul, he is then moved further to receive the sealing of the Father (Rev. 14:1).
(Rev. 7.3) – “Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.” – The life of Christ is a seal to a soul. The Son of God being learnt brings the seal of the Father. The life itself is a seal for the soul. The person of the Holyghost as a seal is our inheritance. This is the true inheritance, of having the persons of the Godhead indwell in our soul through our full obedience.
The man Christ is an equivalent of the man of sin. If the man of sin comes to tempt a Christ soul, such soul won’t fall for it but there is still more for the man to learn which is the Son of God.
THE END.
