Heart of the Wise

  I want to talk. Kudos if you can decode this.  We speak to the intelligentsia. Follow the money, as they say. But who’s calling the shots? No blame. No name. Just game. Follow the storyline, if you can. Justice is perfect, still not yet. The Supreme Ruler in His Power. Set the Foundations of His Truth. Laid the Standard by His Wisdom. He called the shots and assigned. Everyone had their specific roles. Long haul; and powers were given. Scripts installed within each heart. Spirits knew it from the beginning. Kingdoms worked for their interests. They wanted to c0n.spire.  Yes sure, they already did. Mantras, mystics and magic. Matches and manipulations. Marriage, career, religion.  Even used the h€ll dust.  Called it the d€vil’s cake.  And plotted to destr0y subtly. They introduced the Nuggets. They used infam0us White Sugar. Slid in through a crack in the wall. Frozen as ice water with the block. They listened and looked. The followed and fiddled. He hid t...

  Ignorance is really dangerous.  False knowledge is even more dangerous.  False religion (belief in a false God or a false representation of God) and atheism (disbelief in God) are both bothersome, burdensome and very dangerous. Christ said: “You shall know the Truth and the Truth shall make you free.” He also said: “I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. No man comes to the Father except through Me.” Christ not ‘Religion’ is the Truth. False Christs are most dangerous because they pose ans Christ yet are deeply and fundamentally antithetical to the True Christ. False Religion, including false Christianity, doesn’t truly know or follow the True Christ. False Christianity, which is the popular and prevalent version of Christianity, is the worse enemy of the Truly Biblical Christian Faith.  Most of what we call Christianity is not truly in alignment with the True Biblical Christ. You won’t really know or understand this unless and until you do your own honest and heart...

  Stupidity is not a sign of bravery.  To destroy you, an enemy may sometimes play to your warrior or fighter instincts to get you to take or make a miscalculated and unreasonable step or move.  Know what you’re doing and why you’re doing it.  Have a ‘ locus standi’  for your actions. Imagine a person quizzically or innocently using the “Are you afraid?” line or the “You are afraid” card to prod and gently move you (perhaps with great skillfulness and subtlety) into an unconscionable position or to take a stupid decision.  They ‘ginger’ or motivate you into trouble.  That’s reverse psychology with fear. They may play or try to appeal to any of your emotions, instincts, or psychological or logical complexes in a way to get you to misstep or overstep or act outside sound judgment.  This may be in the form of a savior complex (overreaching compassion) or a god complex (overextended ego) in you. Salespeople use it to trick you into making a purch...

  Every unbeliever is possessed by demons. There is no vacuum in life. There is either light or darkness in any given space or territory, albeit in varying degrees. It’s either Christ or Satan that resides in a man. Every human is a vessel of spiritual energy or entity.  A  temple for spiritual habitation. In regeneration, the Spirit of God takes possession of man’s heart or spirit, thus displacing Satan or his demons who were formerly resident in the man. “Don’t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body.” (1 Corinthians 6;19-20, NLT) The world of unbelievers is under the domain and deception of the devil. “We know that we are children of God, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one.” (1 John 5:19) Every unbeliever, although a creature of God, is a child of the devil. They belong to...

  God’s Revealed Truth is complete in The Holy Scriptures.   There is no new truth or revelation.  The Holy Spirit only illuminates this “already revealed truth” to our hearts by giving us true spiritual understanding of this spiritual truth.  He also helps us remember or “brings them to our remembrance” (as Christ promised) at the times we need them so we are enabled or empowered to “walk in the Spirit” or “walk in the Light” of Truth.  He helps us in our personal lives to pray, study the Scriptures, deny our ‘self’, take up our ‘cross’, follow Christ, and truly live out “the fruit of the Spirit” with our attitudes and actions on a daily practical basis.  This is how we worship God in Spirit and Truth. Spirituality is in practical everyday living including the little things we do to fellow human beings; not in some strange, abstract or superstitious activity. Grace and peace to all God’s people!

The reason Goliath the giant warrior defied and despised David is that he didn’t really know there was Omnipotent Spirit (Almighty God) behind that ordinary-looking little boy who stood before him. Every wickedness, lawlessness, transgression, wrongdoing, evil or error is a fundamental lack of (particularly, Spiritual, God-taught or Spirit-revealed) knowledge, wisdom and understanding. A fundamental ignorance problem. A knowledge deficit. As Christ said about His betrayers, accusers, conspirators, tormentors and executioners:  “They know not what they do.” They don’t know what they’re doing. Simply put, they are ignorant. But these were mostly men who knowledgeable in the ways of the world and possibly masters in the earthly craft and culture of their time. So that’s not the kind of ignorance or lack of knowledge that are we dealing with here. It’s spiritual ignorance. Many great men are truly spiritually ignorant. Many captains of industry and leaders in society are fundamentally ...

  Dearly Beloved and Blessed Child of YHWH, We have RICH heritage.  Trace your ROOTS from God’s Creation; And to God’s Law to God’s Prophets;  Then to God’s CHRIST. And to Christ’s Apostles to Christ’s Church.  A Christian is NEVER alone in the SPIRIT.  HalleluYah! Praise God! We are in a Continuum of Light. A Glorious Company of Grace and Truth! An innumerable Heavenly Host of Angels. A Blessed Pedigree or Ancestry of Godly Spirits. We are not alone in this journey and battle. Christ said He will never leave nor forsake us. He didn’t leave us as orphans in this sojourn. We have a Divine History and Destiny in God. No child of God is an accident of circumstance but was chosen by God before the foundation of the world to belong to Christ Jesus the Lord. When Christians are not taught their history. When they do not study the Scripture to understand the Historical Plan of God and the Historical Work of God through the ages. They seem lost and disconnected from the...

  A personal observation and experience. They are people who when they notice I like a particular leader will go around that leader to tell the leader evil things about me. Some of them are close to the leader or they will infiltrate and manipulate those close to the leader to get their unsavory ideas across. They have a sly and crafty way of warming their way into the leader’s heart through supposed honor, humility, money, service or sycophancy. Their evil plan is to make the leader think that I am against him or opposed to him. They usually succeed in painting a picture to the leader, either in a subtle way or directly but with spiteful and malicious intent to make the leader perceive me in bad light and be incensed at me. They may present things I said or opined in the distant past or recent past which ran contrary to the leader’s beliefs, words or pronouncements. They may twist some things I stated to make it seem like a verbal attack on the leader’s person. They will alwa...

  The famous words of the famous psalm 23. The last stanza or verse reads: “Goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever and ever. Amen.” What does this really mean? This does not only mean that I will always be the beneficiary of God’s goodness and mercy. It also implies that I will always be a channel or dispenser of God’s goodness and mercy. In other words, anywhere I go, goodness and mercy will go with me; they will always follow or accompany me to places and as I meet people. That is, I will bring goodness into that place and I will also be merciful to people who I come across and interact with along life’s journey. Meaning, I will help them, be compassionate towards them, forgive them, give to them, honor them, appreciate them, and be gracious to them. In whatever capacity I am able to, at that point in time, and as is appropriate, I will do so. So when we say goodness and mercy shall follow us all our days, we...

  There is wisdom in weakness. Being too strong and powerful can make a person fight unnecessary battles.  God sometimes works weakness in His people so that they don’t overstep their boundaries. Too sick to sin.  Too weak to fight.  Too poor to waste. There is hidden wisdom, wealth and prudence in the control and regulation of limited resources. Sometimes it is not too good to be too strong, too powerful, too beautiful, too resourceful or too rich. And even if you are all these and more, you should put measures in place to help keep you in check or to regulate you, so you don’t overextend yourself or so you’re not taken advantage of by opportunists. Let me put it differently: there’s a downside to (and danger in) being or having too much strength, power, beauty, or resources of any kind. For instance, the beautiful lady has to deal with lots of attention or wooing from men, which becomes especially tempting when these men are wealthy. Also, the rich and powerful men...

  In my previous piece titled “ Psychological Fingerprinting ”, I wrote simplistically about an intuitive, simple-to-complex technique that can be employed to obtain covert feedback from unwilling, uncooperative, dishonest or compromised sources. The methodology or technology can also be applied to establish a hypothetical relationship between stealthily informed and communicating parties within a matrix or composite system. From my experience in Production Technology, a subset of Petroleum Engineering, there is a technique called “ Chemical Fingerprinting ” which is used to identify oil coming from a particular source in a commingled oil-producing system as well as other applications using chemical markers. In this short piece, I share how this amazing concept played out beautifully in the Scriptures. Read with me the account of John the beloved, an Apostle of Christ, as documented in his synoptic writings (chapter 19, verses 23 to 24): When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they ...

I must confess:  Though I hate lies thoroughly, and I passionately advocate for truth, there is one exclusive social context I have intentionally employed a presumptive or preemptive fact. This pseudo fact may pass as a technical ‘untruth’, if evaluated extensively in the strictest possible manner and in a progressive sense, especially from hindsight. You may need to read that again and let it sink. But if you still didn’t quite get it, then it’s okay. Let’s say you will get the decently intellectually encoded communication hopefully, at a later time, of retrospection or recollection. The context or scenario where I may deploy an element of “post-dated untruth”, if you like, is during my “facts iteration” process. A simple-to-robust process where I run an intuitive, unraveling and self-fulfilling social experiment on the behavior of suspected liars and disloyal people to gauge their confidentiality, disclosure, trust, loyalty and integrity status. I do this using a peculiar proprie...

  Believers are naturally generous.  People don’t need to be coerced or threatened to give towards God’s work, to God’s people or to anyone in need, if they are truly converted by the Spirit and taught the Scripture.  The proof of the Spirit of Christ in a man’s heart is godly love.  The Mosaic law of mandatory tithing should not, in all sense of biblical accuracy and scriptural knowledge, be recklessly and illicitly imposed on the Believer, as an isolated law that is selfishly and dishonestly tweaked, manipulated or used outside biblical context, thus not rightly applied. The Abrahamic example of incidental tithing may be copied/replicated by an individual as a template of honor giving or gratitude giving but should not necessarily be legislated or slammed on Believers indefinitely.  Other forms of genuine giving to support the work of the Gospel and those in service of the Kingdom may be personally covenanted between a Believer and God, and are highly encour...

  I respect any preacher whose boldness and forthrightness are unparalleled especially because they had previously been a frontline proponent of the false, materialistic and transactional gospel.  Anyone who is not grateful for the good work, which I think God is doing at this time, may likely be prejudiced against the messengers.  It is certainly far from a perfect situation. But it has really proven to be needed to shake the system and salvage some people from the shackles of false gospels and religious deception that have destroyed so many. I can (and any mature believer should) accept the human flaws of any preacher.  For example, in this case of a preacher being perceived as audacious, arrogant, dogged and forceful; well that may even be what is necessary for the kind of battle and wolves he is up against. It is actually a strength.  It seems to me to be the right temperament for the job and as long as he has the needed enlightenment on the subject of the ...
