RECALIBRATION 12
That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus( Philemon 1:8)
The above scripture is actually an exodus from ignorance for those who are abreast with the interior realities captured in that passage. *When a believer becomes a functionary in the word then you begin to gain mastery over the viccissitudes of life*. Our departure from ignorance is largely traceable to the level of light we are exposed to, light is extremely pertinent in our Christian escapades.
The bible says that the communication of thy faith may become effectual.... The word "communication" from the root word is Koinonia, it is also fellowship, participation, intercourse, intimacy and what have you. The word acknowledging is from the root word is "epignosis" which means precise and correct knowledge; the knowledge of things ethical and divine, it is also full discernment. Epignosis is largely different from other types of knowledge captured in the Bible like gnosis( scientific knowledge), eido( perceive and see) etc. Epignosis is the capacity to capture and unravel the full measure of nutrients tattooed in a reality so in a nutshell when the bible says that the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus it is saying to us that the fellowship of your faith or better still your intimacy and intercourse with the faith can only become effective, activated and operational to the degree that you acknowledge all the possibilities of God resident inside of you. To acknowledge is to come into complete understanding of the resources of God integrated into you, to have a full scope of what Christ fashioned and fabricated into you, this is the way a believer becomes a superman. Knowledge is a key factor in unlocking that which is fused into you.
The believer in Christ is complete to the degree that he knows, many are struggling right now because they lack epignosis; accurate and precise knowledge though they might not lack knowledge but they are destitute of accurate knowledge. *Knowledge is not enough accurate knowledge is*. The above scripture revealed that there are good things inside a believer but he needs to acknowledge them because if he doesn't those good things might not surface and manifest, how will the believer acknowledge those good things? By fellowship, intimacy and intercourse. *It is on the strength of your intercourse with the immortals that your possibilities are unravelled*. This is the Labour of the man in Christ, there must be constant fellowship with the deity of heaven because you're one indivisible entity with them. Your sustainability is traceable to your dependence on the immortals.
The believer in Christ ought to dispense from the wealth of goodies enshrined in Him only to the degree that he has fellowshiped with those bounties and expresses them. This is why soul renewal is pertinent via the instrumentality of the feast of fat things which is the WORD, when this is achieved on continual basis the man in Christ wouldn't have any course to dispense that which is not part of him for example grief, anger and all manner of anomalies, this is because what God installed into you the bible calls it "good things". Errors are captured in your flesh and the believer ought not to live in the flesh but in the Spirit( Ephesians 5:16,25). It is in the Spirit that we became one with the immortals( 1Cor 6:17) therefore our lives ought to be lived via the supplies of the Spirit such that there won't be an occasion for the flesh this is what *Living in the Spirit is all about*.
Let me show you this very pivotal scripture and we'll draw the curtain from there, Philippians 4:8 'Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things, the word "think" in that is logizomai which means to reckon, to take into account, to acknowledge. The things that are pure, honest, lovely, good reports are what the man in Christ ought to acknowledge, to think of always, to meditate on and I submit to you that you can't do this always and not win in life and give the flesh any occasion. This is who we are in Christ. The love of God is shed abroad in our heart by the Holy Ghost, Did you see why you can't express hatred? Christ lives in me and I live His life Glory!
Are you blessed?
Stay blessed and remain connected.
Shalom
