There exist two categories of sin: original and personal (sin is sin though)

We’ll rather call Adam’s disobedience “original sin” because it was the first incidence of sin

All sinfulness in all people throughout all time can be traced back to his tragic choice refer Gen 3:17-19
Each of us has inherited a diseased nature that is bent toward wrongdoing, so much so that we cannot resist the temptation to sin

In this sense, sin is universal

When, individually, we choose to disobey, sin has become personal
“But the one who indulges in a sinful life is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning

The reason the Son of God was revealed was to undo and destroy the works of the devil”

Will you “Come to Jesus” as He calls?

Recently, I’ve been studying a lot about Jesus Christ as a ChristKind, one of His Kind.

(I imagined it’s natural that I learn more of Who I am; a Kind of Who I am by the power of Holy Spirit)

In one of His Word, Jesus says: “So this is my command: Love each other deeply, ImageImageImage
as much as I have loved you”

Now, there’s always a supernatural confirmation of His Word – especially when we are sincere to live just like Him in this world

One of my associates called me last week, that his younger brother and his family relocated to another country (from UK
to somewhere else), leaving most of their summer clothing, shoes, belts and other stuff

My associate packed all the stuff back here and wondered if I’ll be interested in them as part of my Gospel messages, to be given out to less privileged as he called me

I’ve been having a real blast with Holy Spirit – my SuperAlly today.. highlights below:

He is so personable you know? He usually takes on great roller-coaster of amusement, you’ll be giggling in ecstasy, you don’t want it to end

Perhaps because today is TGIF – there’s Anana
Concert later today where we’ll be immersed in the cloud of Glory (details in attached flyer; if He bids you to attend, you’ll sure be grateful you did)

Perhaps because today marks Two weeks He’s asked me to be posting specifically about Jesus Christ, the Gospel,
Ceasing from striving/entering God’s rest (Sabbath Rest) – He confirmed His Word also in the testimony from one of the Glories He’s given me this morning which I posted earlier today

He reminded me of what He says to me at 12:30PM, Thursday April 29th 2021 – exactly a week

There are 3p’s enemies of the Sabbath rest:

Presumption:
The notion that we understand exactly what we need and how to get it or the precise nature of our problem and how to solve it

We at times turn to work, food, alcohol, sex, or worse to ease emotional pain
We feed our hunger for significance by chasing relationships, pursuing positions of power or fame, or exhausting all our resources in support of some noble cause

We create and nurture the illusion of security by filling bank account, fretting over every new medical report
Panic:
Tendency to react to needs or difficulties impulsively

Very often we leap into action and apply a familiar fix without considering unseen issues or lasting consequences

It’s not enough merely to believe there is a God. You must believe in the God Who is there

To enter our Sabbath rest, we must come to God in humble submission to His truth and in complete dependence upon Him

In order to cease our striving, we must transfer our trust away from Image
our own abilities, our own accomplishments, our own strength, and place it on His provision

In six days, God created the world, gave it order and purpose, and then imbued it with life and everything needed for it to flourish

Then, on the seventh day, He ceased all activity to
survey His handiwork and declare it “Good”

It was complete!

Entering this Sabbath rest has both temporal and eternal significance

Transferring trust away from our own capacity to earn a place in heaven and placing it upon God’s provision is the essence of salvation - Gospel!

When we read the scriptures (by the way, I’m on my 8th different Bible version, reading the Bible back-to-back in the last One Year. And I’m still reading), the Word comes alive by the power of Holy Spirit!

Records of OT scriptures are usually prelude to the real deal in NT
I’ve always wondered why Joseph and Mary would have to escape to Egypt with Jesus Christ – God in human flesh in order to avoid Him being killed by the usurper Caesar Augustus turned Herod

Why? Jesus Christ is God! He could have just supernaturally wiped out every obstacle to
His earthly purpose – including Herod!

The escape to Egypt however, is to retrace the steps of the Exodus (OT Israelites in exile)

So, Jesus Christ left Egypt for the land that God had promised to Israel! (can you see the scriptures?)

Indeed, Jesus would be the Israel God

Jesus Christ speaking about the worth/value of being a ChristKind, uses this illustration/parable below:
“Heaven’s kingdom realm can be illustrated like this:”
“A person discovered that there was hidden treasure in a field. Upon finding it, he hid it again. Because of uncovering
such treasure, he was overjoyed and sold all that he possessed to buy the entire field just so he could have the treasure”
Above parable describes me – Bro Samuel Tope-Ojo’s current position as a ChristKind
I’ve actually searched for the Truth (Christ) for so long before Christ
found me Himself and brings me into Himself by the power of Holy Spirit
In my years of this search for the Truth, religion failed me. Doctrines failed me. Denominations failed me. Philosophy failed me.
They all only helped in pushing me to an utter position of exasperation
