We have mistaken Christian vocabulary for Christian transformation. A man quotes Scripture… And we assume he knows GOD.
He speaks in “Christianese”…
And we conclude he is spiritual. He shares sermons…
Posts Bible verses… Says “Praise the LORD” after every sentence… And we never stop to ask the harder question: Who has discipled his mind?
Do not be too quick to measure a man’s spirituality by what he says when the subject is GOD. Almost everyone knows how to sound holy in Church.
The real examination begins when the subject is no longer spiritual. Listen to him discuss politics. Listen to him speak about money. Listen to him respond to injustice. Listen to him describe success. Listen to him talk about women. Listen to him address suffering. Listen to him speak when someone offends him. Listen to him discuss power, influence, ambition, and enemies.
That is where the true disciple is separated from the religious man. Because what governs a man is not discovered by how he quotes Scripture…
It is discovered by how he interprets life. The Pharisees quoted Moses… Yet crucified CHRIST.
Satan quoted Scripture… Yet remained the devil.
Knowing Bible verses has never been the evidence of possessing the Mind of CHRIST.
Brethren…
The Gospel did not come merely to change our language. It came to overthrow an entire way of thinking.
Until CHRIST becomes LORD over a man’s reasoning…
HE is not yet LORD over his life. Because the Lordship of CHRIST is not first revealed in what leaves your mouth during worship…
It is revealed in the Mind by which you interpret reality.
Many believers have biblical information… But worldly assumptions.
Biblical expressions… But carnal conclusions. Biblical terminology… But secular philosophies.
They speak like Zion… But they think like Babylon.
We have taught men how to sound like Christians…Without teaching them how to think like CHRIST.
So they enter the sanctuary speaking the language of Heaven… Then leave the building making decisions with the wisdom of the age.
The HOLY SPIRIT does not merely teach men what to say. HE teaches them how to see.
When CHRIST truly governs a heart… His Word becomes more than memory. It becomes instinct.
More than quotation. It becomes perception.
It becomes the very architecture of the man’s mind.
You no longer need to ask him for a Bible verse. His conclusions will already smell like Scripture.
His values will expose the Kingdom he belongs to.
His worldview will betray the Throne that governs him.
For the greatest evidence that JESUS is LORD over a man… Is not that he can speak about the Bible…
It is that he cannot think outside it.
Dear believer what the Bible teaches is that you have been purged from your old sins (2 Peter 1:9).
It is not true that you have been forgiven from your future sins as you cannot be pardoned for a crime you haven't committed.
What is true is that if we confess our sins he is faithful and just to forgive us and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9).
What is also true is that if you sin willfully after you've received the knowledge of truth, there remains no more sacrifice for sins (Hebrews 10:26-27).
Hypergrace is from the pit of hell and it will stay there.
Amen.
As a growing believer, there are a few things I have noticed in my walk with God, and anyone who is growing should notice these too.
You find out that as you consistently follow Jesus, some of the struggles in your life that used to be at the front burner slowly but certainly begin to take the back seat.
I remember my mum sharing once how that before she became born again she used to club a lot.
It was an integral part of her weekly schedule.
As a young nurse, that was how she would unwind after a stressful week.
She got born again during the SU revival of the 70s and 80s so there were certain things that were not compatible with being born again then as it is now.
According to her, she didn’t know how she could stop clubbing if she decided to follow Jesus.
Well she did follow Jesus and by the time I was hearing this story she had been a believer for over 20 years.
She was still trusting God for perfection in areas of her life but the issue of clubbing was at this point a fossil. It was a non issue.
A thing she was genuinely worried about was now a testimony no more a prayer point.
It goes to make the point that following Jesus makes you better.
It is why a person who has been following for let’s say 30 years would be more mature (if they’ve been obediently following consistently) than someone who let’s say has just started following last month.
You’d notice that two pairs of believers can have a relationship and one pair is rising and falling in sexual immorality after being in that relationship for just three months, while the other pair have been dating for 18 months and have never yielded to the temptation to kiss each other.
Holiness is the fruit of righteousness biblically speaking, and fruit bearing is a testimony of maturity.
Most trees don’t bear fruit the moment they’re planted, but the sower knows that every tree has the potential to bear fruit.
There were times in my walk with God when I was not bearing the fruit I now bear, but as long as I kept submitting obediently to His pruning, these days were sure to come.
No Christian should be ashamed that they’re bearing fruit but no one can glory in the mere fact that they’re fruitful because it is God that gives the increase.
We’re all righteous on the same pedestal before God but we know from scripture that they’re people amongst us that God is ashamed to be called their God.
Some of us bear fruit and some don’t just bear anything regardless of how much is invested in them.
The sad thing is that the husbandman cannot stand unfruitfulness, so the destiny of the tree that doesn’t bear fruit is the fire; ten times out of ten.
A believer for example who defrauds his employer is not as holy as the believer in whom is no guile even amongst the unbelievers.
If you cheat on your wife and you’re a believer, you’re not as holy as the believer who has been faithful to his wife assuming all other things are equal.
But nobody who is truly holy will declare this unprovoked because it is all by God’s mercy. However, when occasion demands, it is important to let people know that it is possible to perfect holiness because God will not give us a command that we’re unable to obey.
One time I had to tell my congregation that the notion flying around that it wasn’t possible to go one full day without falling into sin is false.
Because I myself am a testimony that God’s grace can make it possible, so if they had no one to use as a model of God’s grace they’re welcome to use me.
God’s high priest before Israel was meant to be the Symbol of God’s holiness before his people.
He even carried the label on his forehead.
HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD.

The strongest men in the Kingdom are often the men most conscious of their weakness before GOD.
Because they know that apart from HIM, they can do nothing.
One of the greatest deceptions in the Church is believing innocence is merely the absence of participation.
Many men think they are righteous because they did not join the corruption, while GOD is asking why they never confronted it.
