Let’s rehearse again the direct consequence of Adam’s fall in the Garden of Eden: Adam was left with a destitute mentality because he inadvertently rejected the intangible, unlimited wealth and riches that were meant for him when he violated the tree of knowledge. The serpent, prince of darkness, on the other hand, was blind and clueless of the unlimited wealth meant for his rival, Adam, though he controlled the limited wealth and riches of the physical realm. While Adam struggled and slaved with a destitute mentality, the prince of darkness flourished and shone because of the physical wealth that he controlled.

Yet God was determined to rehabilitate Adam, and reverse the ugly trend whereby he was the slave of Mammon, the prince of darkness. It’s in this context that we begin to see two distinct personalities in mutual antagonism emerge on the historical stage: Adam represented by Abraham was the vessel of mercy while the prince of darkness represented by the arrogant, oppressive and coercive Pharaoh was tagged the vessel of wrath.

Knowing that Adam could only be rehabilitated through the principle of wealth transfer, the stage was set whereby the rich treasury of ancient Egypt was plundered, not as an option but by divine ordination, and the economic power-house of the time was reduced to destitution and penury as her wealth was transferred to Israel under the leadership of Moses.

You will notice that as they journeyed to the land of milk and honey where seven ‘greater and mightier’ nations would be driven out and destroyed for Israel’s occupation – whenever they were challenged by adversity of any kind, and they instinctively reacted by complaining or murmuring, they were not only rebuked, but something tragic like premature death by serpent’s bite would take its toll on them. That’s to say that as vessels of mercy, whatever they went through no matter how tough and challenging it was, sorrow and grieving or depression were not designed to be part of their emotional make-up. Isaiah picturing this says: Surely he hath borne our grief and hath carried our sorrows. James says: Count it all joy when fall into diverse temptations. Peter puts it this way: Wherein ye greatly rejoice ,though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations: that the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perishes, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory.

If your emotional make-up as a vessel of mercy is designed to reject, contradict and supplant sorrow, depression or despair, then it becomes a treasonable offence for you to lament and complain when challenged. To murmur with a fainting heart is to be viewed as a pretender, and not a contender, un-persuaded and ashamed to stand for his/her faith. Your failure to rejoice aggressively in adversity  marks you out as a traitor and not a patriot. When you wail under an adversarial circumstance, you come off either as a spy or someone who suffers from crisis of identity. The penalty of  being viewed as delusional or a spy is akin to being ostracized, treated with scorn instead of pity.

Peter says to rejoice with aggression when you come to a hard place of conflicts in life or work-place is not an option, but a compulsory counter-insurgency with the end-products of praise and honour and glory as the resolution. Why does he say that the trial of your faith is much more precious than perishable gold? The unspoken part of the deal is that without your faith being tried, the PURE GOLD – imperishable, and capable  of satisfying your soul – cannot manifest!  TO BE CONTINUED.

Y

et in Eden, if Adam was not able to resist and destroy the serpent i.e. prince of darkness and son of perdition, there was no way he would be allowed to apprehend and partake of the ready-made wealth and riches. Therefore, despite the hunger, pain, perplexity and the despair they felt as they waited and fasted in the Garden of Eden, the first man, Adam was supposed to hang

tenaciously unto the Word of God that he heard. To neglect or despise that command not to violate the tree of knowledge was to treat the voice of God with disdain or profanity.

That divine command not to eat the tree of knowledge was Adam’s protection and security against satanic invasion; it was his sceptre of  dominion. God’s system of justice would be violated if he handed over power to someone who despised his words .

Because he was not able to apprehend and partake of the ready-made wealth and riches before he was overthrown by the serpent, Adam was left with a destitute mentality. Truly, Adam never knew the joy of serving God before they were exiled from Eden. By eating the forbidden tree of knowledge, Adam also rejected the intangible ready-made provisions freely given by the Creator.  Paul writing to the Romans in the Bible, called these ready-made riches: ‘ the invisible things of God from the creation of the world, clearly seen and understood by the things that are made.’ To the Corinthians, Paul also wrote concerning the ready-made wealth: But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit : for the Spirit search all things, yea, the deep things of God.

To rejoice aggressively for embracing without equivocation these intangible wealth and riches freely given is to escape God’s wrath. Those who reject these ready-made provisions are under the wrath of God. They are the adversaries of God. They have marginalized and condemned themselves. And they cannot resist the siege of faith.

TO REJECT THE INTANGIBLE WEALTH AND RICHES IS TO SUFFER FROM A DESTITUTE MENTALITY, WHICH IS DETRIMENTAL TO YOUR PROGRESS AND PRODUCTIVITY, AS YOU ARE EASILY VICTIMIZED BY DEPRESSION AND SORROW.

One greatest hurdle preventing us from rejoicing over nothing ( i.e. intangible wealth and riches) is our evil desire to have the knowledge of how God is working behind-the-scene. We get anxious and deflated because we want to know how God is processing our prayer requests! Our primordial desire to learn how God manufactures things to satisfy us has left us powerless and delusional. It is true that the Bible says people are destroyed because they lack knowledge. What that actually means is that people are destroyed because they are ignorant of God’s character. To escape perishing, we should learn God’s character, not his factory!  The Creator has permanently shut the gates of his factory against man and the serpent!  Concerning God’s factory, we are not to know, but believe! ANY ANALYSIS CONCERNING GOD’S FACTORY LEADS NOT ONLY TO PARALYSIS, BUT DEATH!

The more we want to know how God makes things out of thin air, the more confused and suicidal we get! This reminds me of a beautiful young woman who phoned and texted me with desperation that she was going to kill herself because of the many disappointments and marital delay she had suffered. Alarmed, but patiently, I tried to calm her over the phone, praying with her. When she came to my office that very week, she said everywhere she went in search of spiritual help, she was told she had ‘spirit husband’, that there was ‘ foundational error’ in her life, and that there was a wicked uncle in her father’s house who had sworn in their wizards’ coven that she was never going to get married. Then I told her all she had learned of her condition would not avail anything if no solution from biblical scriptures was found!  Noticing her frustration over her cluelessness, I gave her some scriptures concerning marital connection to meditate upon, and held her hands to pray. Some days later, she called me on the phone, sounding agitated: ‘ Pastor, nothing is happening o! I’m tired, losing patience. No man is even asking me out, talk less of marriage!’ Repressing my impatience, I replied her: ‘ How can anything positive happen to you when you keep trying to probe and investigate how God is going to connect you to the man that would make you his wife?’ She said: ‘What do you mean?’ I went further: ‘ You are anxious, impatient and troubled. That tells me you are trying to probe and investigate God! You are on a slippery ground! Get this thing settled in your mind now: The man that is changing your story to that of a HONOURABLE MARRIED WIFE is LOOKING at you now!’

Hearing this, she was encouraged and stabilized. Cut a long story short, under five months later, a man who lived in the U.K. began a fierce chase to secure her hand in marriage. It was discovered that both of them came from the same village in Nigeria. By April of this year, their traditional marriage as husband and wife was performed in their village. She said later on: ‘ I can’t believe my eyes that I am now a wife to someone! All my worry was a waste of time!’ TO BE CONTINUED.

T

he principle of wealth transfer is demonstrated when the wealth accumulated by people who reject the ready-made things freely given by God is forcefully removed and transferred to others who have learned to rejoice aggressively over nothing. It is a realistic, practicable and inexorable principle. Take it away from the heart of the preaching of the gospel of Jesus Christ, and what you get is a caricature, fraudulent message, meant to afflict without redemptive purpose!

There are ready-made wealth and riches, freely given, but hidden from man, and reserved in heavenly places. A clue is given through the book of Genesis chapter 2 verse 3: And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.

What that passage is saying, in other words, is: Every plant was reserved in heavenly places, and every herb was already in the earth, but had not grown for rain had not come upon the earth...

Now the question is, why was the wealth meant to sustain the man hidden from him? Why was it reserved, and not released?  Pay attention because the strangest secrets of the ages are about to be unfolded or exposed on this blog. Now God had a clear-cut, inexorable but urgent  programme  to transfer the wealth and riches of this earth from the unjust into the hands of the just. Yet because of a relentless misinformation from the propaganda machine of Satan – and complacency on the part of the righteous – the people of God are struggling to escape deception.

The non-elastic restriction for man not to eat the tree of knowledge of good and evil was actually a restriction on the serpent, the old dragon, Satan himself! It was a restriction that prevented anyone, least of all, Satan, from jeopardizing the Creator’s security. The penalty for violating that restriction was death. Eccl.11:5 says:  As you know not how the bones do grow in the womb of a pregnant woman, so you cannot know the works of God who makes all. Certainly, God is not keen to expose his spiritual technology for anyone to steal. As a result, man as well as the serpent were sentenced to perpetual ignorance of how God creates or makes things to happen!

Undeniably, by attempting to know how a thing is going to be accomplished by God is to sabotage yourself. Now many people get anxious, fearful, desperate and depressed, despite their prayer warfare: and these are indicators that they are going nowhere in trying to learn how God is processing their requests! If they’d sit still, and be comfortable with their perpetual ignorance of how a miracle could be performed, they would become powerful, helpful and influential!

For the man not to be stranded or perish due to his perpetual ignorance concerning God’s creativity and productivity, everything necessary to enable the man flourish was provided, yet kept hidden. Now these secret provisions were not raw materials to be processed by man for use. They had already been processed and packaged by God to be used when needed by man.  That’s why I call them: ‘ ready-made wealth and riches.’ James in the Bible calls them: ‘ every good gift and every perfect gift from above, coming down from the Father of Lights.’ 

The man’s unlimited wealth was a settled, non-negotiable matter...TO BE CONTINUED.

CELEBRATE YOUR FREEDOM, SEIZE CONTROL OF YOUR THOUGHTS. By FELIX N.JARIKRE

‘Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.’ – Nelson Mandela.

There is a security in slavery, mental or physical, that is difficult to get free from. Yet slaves are supposed to be voiceless. If they hold any opinion at all, slaves are meant to keep it to themselves. Their opinions provoke contempt or icy silence from their masters. So they have learned from bitter experience not to share their opinions with their so-called superiors.

The value of slaves lies mainly in their brute physical strength. Their exercise of intellectual alertness is perceived as a subversive threat that should be repressed without hesitation. They are not encouraged to develop initiative. They are not trained to think for themselves. Their thought contribution is considered a waste. This principle works both ways: Subdue the thoughts of a man, you neutralize the man. Slave-owners are adept at enforcing it. Though slaves might be hated and despised, their masters are terrified at the prospect of losing them. Pharaoh certainly didn’t relish the idea of being without his slaves when he was confronted by Moses. He mounted a ferocious campaign of attacking the validity of Moses’ message. The king said the slaves were lazy and idle: ‘And let them not regard vain words.’ The gambit was: if the official policy said the message of Moses was worthless, then who would dare to argue and contradict Pharaoh’s wisdom?

A wise man said: ‘Ignorance is the incubator of slavery.’ Keep the people ignorant and mindless, mantra of evil rulers. A slave is trained to always accept his ‘place’ and never hope to cross his invisible boundaries, marked with terror, shame, tension and anxiety. And a slave who attempts to kick in rebellion and mindless aggression is punished with brutal cruelty to keep the rest in line. The slave is wanted for one thing, and one thing only: his body, his muscles; his heart and mind don’t count!

In his book, Black Boy, Richard Wright wrote: ‘ Never being fully able to be myself, I had slowly learned that the South could recognize but a part of a man, could accept but a fragment of his personality, and all the rest – the best and deepest things of heart and mind – were tossed away in blind ignorance and hate.’ The terrifying part of the slave condition is, before he realizes it, the slave starts to believe the lies and idle speculations that his oppressors hold about him. In his book, The Fire Next Time, James Baldwin wrote of his brother: ‘He was defeated before he died because, at the bottom of his heart, he really believed what white people said about him.’ Frederick Douglass, who taught himself to read and write at a time it was almost treason to teach a black slave in America to read and write, said: ‘Slavery would not always be able to hold me within its foul embrace; and this conviction like a word of living faith, strengthened me through the darkest trials of my lot. This good spirit was from God; and to him I offer thanksgiving and praise.’ It takes the  knowledge of the truth for a man to be set free. True freedom does not come by human legislation. Yet in their struggle to escape mental captivity, people get deceived and manipulated to hold unto a taunting mirage. Why? Because truth is not superficial.

To escape mental slavery, we must refuse to confuse facts with theories, outward appearances and assumptions. We must not always assume that we have the natural intelligence to resolve every challenge we face. Still, that should not make us to despair. Because we are surrounded by so many people and organisations that try to force us to accept some preordained conclusions, it is tempting to take the road of least resistance by switching off our critical faculties and swallowing what is thrown at us. Rebuff that temptation, and refuse to be a mental slave.

You must seize control of your thoughts, organize your mind and keep it clear of hostile influences. Don’t relinquish the control of your thoughts to others. The shameful, but hidden problem of slavery is that insecure men with seeming advantages try to transfer their insecurity to other men who are weak enough to receive it. Refuse to be a puppet of your environment or a slave to your circumstances. Let your thinking be robust and tenacious, separated from the feelings of shame and destitution. The mental slavery of the cruellest kind is the condition where a man’s physical body is allowed to control his thinking. Like Frederick  Douglass, don’t be ashamed or afraid to stand and speak for your convictions; and get ready to cross your invisible boundaries, discounting anxiety and terror.

AGAINST THE SELECTIVE PROBE OF JONATHAN. By FELIX N.JARIKRE

In a democracy struggling to develop, with weak institutions  such as we have in Nigeria, there is no doubt that being in ruling government must give the occupiers of power the special ability to think they possess magical powers to conjure an attack of selective amnesia upon the populace whereby the citizens can be manipulated to applaud, without critical thinking, whatever action the government takes, however brutish or untenable it may be.

Concluding his recent trip to America, President Buhari had pledged without equivocation in a speech to probe ‘past regimes to recover stolen monies.’ Upon his return, one was surprised to hear Femi Adesina, Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, saying that to avoid distraction, it was necessary to only probe Goodluck Jonathan’s regime. As to what led to this hasty flip-flop, one can only speculate. But one thing is clear, that the fight against official corruption is a national emergency which cannot, and should not be left alone for Buhari to fight, even if he has the moral and constitutional capacity to do so. In 1984, Buhari, as a military head of state, used battling corruption as a political weapon to throw politicians into jails without fair trials, while avoiding public scrutiny and accountability for his own years as minister for oil and chairman of the Nigerian National Oil Company. A Nigerian Senate investigations had concluded in 1980 that $2:8 billion was missing under his watch, and the Ayo Irikefe Judicial Inquiry set up to look into this was swept away when President Shagari was overthrown in a military coup, and Buhari clamped down on press freedom by enacting Decree Four which forbade journalists from publishing any truth that would embarrass public officials. His tenure as chairman of the Petroleum Trust Fund under General Abacha left many unsavoury questions to be answered. If anyone is looking for a portrayal of a vaunted integrity without accountability and transparency, a story of cloaks and shadows, look no further than Buhari’s.

Contrary to what Femi Adesina thinks, to extend the probe on official corruption to reach Olusegun Obasanjo’s regime stretching from 1999 is not a distraction, but a national necessity. Anything less is not only a witch-hunt, but unacceptable. The devious attempt to scapegoat  Goodluck Jonathan for the ills plaguing the nation, and make him a sacrificial lamb at the same time for cleansing and atonement is a reckless escapade that would leave the nation gasping for breath – to put it charitably! Gleefully, with unrestrained audacity, APC’s foot-soldiers and paymasters of various hues have gone to town to demonize and humiliate Jonathan, making him look abandoned, friendless, hapless and powerless, a former president who desperately sought for audience with Buhari to plead for mercy, and begged on trembling knees to be spared from being probed. (At least, if we should believe fiction-peddlers like Sahara Reporters, another propaganda outpost of APC masquerading for investigative journalism.) The objective of this set-up is to ensure that not a whimper of protest or whisper of sympathy would be heard across the land when Buhari’s henchmen come calling for Jonathan’s head. Therefore, the news – unproven as yet but which cannot be dismissed outright – filtered through the social media that Olusegun Obasanjo, the ogre of lawlessness and effigy of corruption, has gifted Buhari with a raft of documents to jail Jonathan would have been laughable, if not for the diabolical mischief involved. Since it is not out of character for the purveyors of this malicious narrative, considering that Olusegun Obasanjo had recently admonished that the South-South should be prepared for whatever they saw coming to them, as they would be haunted for years to come by the perceived failure of Jonathan’s presidency, one had to pause and ask: What are these people – anti-Jonathan elements – drunk on? Crack-cocaine, power or ethnic pride?

If some Nigerians, for whatever reason, could swallow the spectacle of Jonathan being singled out for selective probe and prosecution, out of the legion of thieving despots who stole Nigeria blind, many Nigerians, driven by equal justice and fair-play, especially South-South peoples, cannot stomach it. To advocates of transparent governance, any move to investigate and probe ex-President Jonathan is a welcome development, but if it is going to be taken seriously, and not resisted, this judicial probe, must, as a matter of national necessity and emergency, extend its tentacles to bring Olusegun Obasanjo to book. That he tore his PDP membership card should not absolve him of the fabled sixteen-year travesty of PDP which he perpetuated. Despite our proclivity to impunity, the impression must not be given that Obasanjo is being spared from probe because he helped to prepare the ground for Buhari to dethrone Jonathan through a controversial, bitter  election in which the incumbent graciously conceded defeat for the sake of national unity.

Obi Nwakanma, writing in the newspaper, The Urhobo Voice of August 12, 2015, said: ‘ If this president ( Buhari) is serious about probing Jonathan, he must seek serious legislative teeth that will give bite to judicial sanction, fairness, as well as transparency to the process. It must not be seen as a witch-hunt. At the moment that is how a vast section of Nigerians is likely to see any selective probing of the administration of Dr. Jonathan. To establish the credibility of the process, the president must back a probe of the last fifteen years of the PDP government in Nigeria, including the period under the watch of President Olusegun Obasanjo. For eight years, President Obasanjo was sole operator of Nigerian’s Ministry of Petroleum and the NNPC.’

Make no mistake, Femi Adesina: Nigerians are not deluded; and they are not mesmerized by your spin. They refuse to forget what you want them to forget! Take this message to your boss. Nobody is going to stand and watch you turn Dr. Goodluck Jonathan into another Tam David-West, another minority, who was humiliated and jailed like a rat for drinking a cup of tea and accepting the gift of a gold wrist-watch during his tenure as Petroleum Minister under IBB!
