THE 5 BETTER NOTS 8
(Gleanings From the Book of Hebrews)
“It is clear that they could not enter into their inheritance because they wrapped their hearts in unbelief.”
Hebrews 3:19 (TPT)
DON’T BE DECEIVED INTO DOUBT
God’s full and final message is not just given through Christ; His complete and final revelation is CHRIST HIMSELF.
To doubt Jesus as God’s complete revelation is to doubt God.
And for the adversary to sway you into doubt, he has to make you doubt the Person and Revelation of Jesus. The goal of the adversary is to make you stagger in faith and not enjoy your inheritance in Christ. Thus he will do whatever it takes to propagate his deception.
You cannot walk in the fullness of the blessings of the Gospel when you allow the deception of the adversary to dominate your thoughts.
The adversary spreads his lies mainly through false teachings or doctrines.
You must beware of any teaching which makes you doubt that:
– Jesus is God
– the Bible is the Word of God.
– God has given us the Holy Spirit.
It doesn’t matter how long you have been saved or how long you have been in Church, when you give your mind continuously to false teachings, doubt will creep into your heart unawares.
Take some moments to read these previous Episodes on DECEPTION.
Some false teachers start drawing your attention to themselves by amplifying mysticism. Some make you think God is mystical and it is impossible for anyone to comprehend His thoughts. They increase their credence in your mind by boasting of their angelic encounters and messages received from angels.
Get this: Any message preached by any being that doesn’t agree with or reveal Christ Jesus is not a message from God.
The present message of God to mankind is not a mystery. God had made Himself visible through Christ.
God’s final revelation is not the word of angels nor the word of the Prophets.
It is the Word of God spoken to us in Christ (Hebrews 1:1-2)
God ultimately expressed or manifested Himself in only Christ Jesus because Jesus is God in the flesh.
“And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifested in the flesh, Justified in the Spirit, Seen by angels, Preached among the Gentiles, Believed on in the world, Received up in glory.” 1 Timothy 3:16 (NKJV)
For some to also doubt Christ they attempt to discredit the authenticity of the Bible. They condemn the Bible saying, it is not the Word of God.
Meanwhile, these people secretly go into the Bible to glean life lessons, concepts to shape their religious minds, etc.
But publicly condemn the Bible with the goal of discrediting Christ.
You cannot genuinely study the Bible without meeting Christ.
He is the centricity of the Bible.
The writings of the Prophets, Psalmist and Kings from Genesis to Malachi (known as the Old Testament portion of the Bible) testify of Christ.
The New Testament portion declares the fulfillment of the revelation of Christ.
“You search and keep on searching and examining the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and yet it is those [very Scriptures] that testify about Me“ John 5:39 (Amplified Bible)
Some even have to extend their indoctrination or negative propaganda by creating false Bible translations to distort original texts. They use their wrong translations to deceive innocent people.
Be a student of the Word of God. Don’t be like the Israelites who were easily deceived by the mixed multitudes (the ungodly people from other nations who joined them as they left Egypt).
By the deceptive thoughts of these mixed multitudes, the Israelites saw the power of God, but because they had not studied the ways of the Lord, they still walked in doubt.
Get yourself established in the truth of the Gospel of Jesus and do not be swayed by the lies of this generation.
Hallelujah.

BE ON GUARD
“For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places”
Ephesians 6:12 (NLT)
The greatest weapon of the adversary against men is deception.
Wrestling or fighting against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world and evil spirits is not a fight with physical strength or abilities.
It doesn’t require human strategies. To wrestle or fight with these unseen forces is a matter of words and thoughts.
The attacks of the adversary are always focused on your inner man. This is why you must always guard your heart.
Don’t treat thoughts as mere thoughts or imaginations. Thoughts that are inconsistent with the knowledge of Christ, are negative transmissions of the adversary into your spirit and soul. These transmissions provide pathways for demons to travel into your life to afflict and oppress you.
Where do you think depression, stress, anxiety, fear and doubts emanates from?
They are intrinsically not from the situations you find yourself in. They are not first by the people who offend you. Those situations and people are mere conduits or channels for the adversary to attack you with his evil blazing arrows.
You must be on guard to engage the armor of the Lord.
Jesus decoded the source of Peter’s revelation. He knew it was not by flesh and blood but through the supernatural influence of the Father. (See Matthew 16:16-17)
Jesus affirmed how the spiritual influences your life when you are availed.
In that same chapter, there was another instance similar to what we discussed previously.
“From that time Jesus began to show to His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised the third day.
Then Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him, saying, “Far be it from You, Lord; this shall not happen to You!” But He turned and said to Peter, “Get behind Me, Satan! You are an offense to Me, for you are not mindful of the things of God, but the things of men.” Matthew 16:21-23 (NKJV)

Did Jesus call Peter Satan?
Was Peter, not the one Jesus was praising not long ago?
Peter who spoke by divine revelation was now an agency for the voice of Satan.
The adversary knowing the influence of Peter, was speaking through Peter to discourage Jesus from going to the cross.
Jesus knew the force or influence by which Peter spoke. He knew it wasn’t a wrestling with Peter, it was a fight with the devil. He rebuked the negative voice of the adversary.
Which negative voice or thought are you amplifying or vocalizing?
Set your mind on the knowledge of Christ. Don’t submit to any thoughts which are contradictory to the knowledge of Christ.
Submit your thoughts to the thoughts of God through the study of the scriptures.
Refuse to yield to wrong thoughts and emotions. Stand firm and set your gaze on the Lord.
Selah!

BEWARE OF AN ELIAB 3
“Eliab, his older brother, heard David fraternizing with the men and lost his temper: “What are you doing here! Why aren’t you minding your own business, tending that scrawny flock of sheep? I know what you’re up to. You’ve come down here to see the sights, hoping for a ringside seat at a bloody battle!”
1 Samuel 17:28 (Message)
Have you ever been inspired to do something for the Lord, given His green light and suddenly an older respected fellow calls you over to his office to advise you of how you are wasting your time to do something for the Lord?
For a moment it will make you look back at yourself to wonder if you are doing the right thing.
There are many great destinies the adversary aborted using the pessimistic opinions of influencers in their lives.
Sometimes the people who discourage the purpose of God in your life may be “prayer warriors” in their churches, lecturers, punctual in Church and spiritual. But don’t share in the burdens of the Kingdom.
Some of these people are in Church but don’t know the purpose of God for the Church and the saints.
Even our Lord Jesus had a similar experience with Peter.
In Matthew 16, Peter by supernatural revelation confessed Jesus as the Christ, the Son of the living God. Jesus affirmed that Peter’s knowledge of Him was not according to flesh and blood. (Matthew 16:17)
Later, Peter, interrupted Jesus when He was speaking of His death and resurrection.
“From that time Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and on the third day be raised. And Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him, saying, “Far be it from you, Lord! This shall never happen to you.” But he turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are a hindrance to me. For you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of man.” Matthew 16: 21-23 (ESV)
This doesn’t suggest that Peter was satan but spoke by the deceptive influence of satan. Jesus knew those words were from satan. (Read more about the Deception of the adversary here).
Peter’s words to Jesus were harmless. They were a genuine concern for Jesus. But that wasn’t God’s plan. The death of Jesus was to our advantage. Later, Peter preached concerning the death and resurrection of Jesus, and about 5,000 people were saved.
When Eliab saw David, he didn’t take the time to find out about David’s mission on the battlefield. Because David didn’t make a personal choice to be out there. He was there because he obeyed his father Jesse. But David being sent to the battlefield was according to the plan and purpose of God.
Eliab’s first reaction to David was to lose his temper. Perhaps, he thought David was about his usual curiosity.
Eliab also thought all that David was meant for was to tend the scrawny or unattractive tiny flock of sheep.
He felt David was only there to sit on the ringside to watch a bloody battle like a spectator in a boxing or mixed martial arts arena.
But NO! DAVID WAS ON GOD’S MISSION.
Beloved, there are big things God wants to achieve through you. He is always ordering your steps into an environment where you will step into that great purpose.
Don’t allow anyone to make you doubt what God is inspiring you to do. Don’t allow anyone to make you think you are not meant to do big things. Don’t allow anyone to make you think you have to remain small, hidden and irrelevant.
Stay alert and discerning to the voice of God and the voice of Eliab. Submit to a leader who understands and is burdened by God’s vision; and also sees you as God sees you.
Set your mind on the things of God, and not on the things of man. That is the only way you can do the things of God.
You have what it takes to do what God has called you to do. Don’t be afraid to take responsibilities in Church.
You are the man for the job!
Selah!

BEWARE OF AN ELIAB 2
“Eliab, his older brother, heard David fraternizing with the men and lost his temper: “What are you doing here! Why aren’t you minding your own business, tending that scrawny flock of sheep? I know what you’re up to. You’ve come down here to see the sights, hoping for a ringside seat at a bloody battle!”
1 Samuel 17:28 (Message)
As explained in the previous episode, the character of Eliab in our study, embodies a certain group of people we must beware of as we journey towards purpose.
Within the Church, family, workplace, school and the society in which you find yourself, there are some people (or at least an individual) who demonstrate the character of Eliab or that which is similar to his.
I gave a summary of who Eliab was and the kind of attention he commanded in the previous episode.
He wasn’t an ordinary person, neither was he devilish nor a failure by the standards of men. He was one who also felt successful in his own right.
Whenever people see the word BEWARE they think of a devil with horns.
You don’t have to be told to BEWARE of the obvious. Whatever you are asked to BEWARE of looks harmless at first sight.
Eliab as an older brother to David may have genuine concern about the well-being of David. And sometimes such concern can be a limitation to your advancement into greatness.
However, a careful observation of Eliab’s words to David also exposed Eliab’s mindset concerning David. Apart from his mindset concerning David, other details also exposed his mindset about challenges.
The presence of Goliath was the boundary or the end of Eliab’s boldness. He was part of the army of Israel which fell back and was frightened at the appearance of Goliath.
Eliab had an attractive appearance but was a coward at heart. He looked more like a real man on the outside but was a crying vulnerable baby at heart.
He lacked what it takes to go for the lion’s share.
David was different. Outwardly he didn’t look like a strong tough soldier, but he had the heart of God. David was full of “God-fidence” (the confidence of God).
Each morning, Goliath cursed and threatened the Israelites and none of them spoke back at him. They were rather frightened and fell back at his presence.
Instead of confronting the challenge they rather talk among themselves:
“…The talk among the troops was, “Have you ever seen anything like this, this man openly and defiantly challenging Israel? The man who kills the giant will have it made. The king will give him a huge reward, offer his daughter as a bride, and give his entire family a free ride.” 1 Samuel 17:24-25 (Message)
See David’s first reaction to Goliath:
“David, who was talking to the men standing around him, asked, “What’s in it for the man who kills that Philistine and gets rid of this ugly blot on Israel’s honor? Who does he think he is, anyway, this uncircumcised Philistine, taunting the armies of God-Alive?” 1 Samuel 17:26 (Message)
At no point was he intimidated by the presence of Goliath.
The boldness of David was bigger than the whole army of Israel.
Now comes in Eliab; the fine handsome gentleman. The big brother who thought he knew better and understood the destiny and the place of David than God:
“Eliab, his older brother, heard David fraternizing with the men and lost his temper: “What are you doing here! Why aren’t you minding your own business, tending that scrawny flock of sheep? I know what you’re up to. You’ve come down here to see the sights, hoping for a ringside seat at a bloody battle!” 1 Samuel 17:28 (Message)
Eliab didn’t think, the business of Israel is also the business of David.
He wondered why this little boy David, poked his nose into matters “greater” than him.
By fact, Eliab may be right.
David was just a shepherd boy. And also was not at the age to be enlisted for war.
He has to be at least 20 years old or older (Numbers 1:3)
Nevertheless, the capacity to show up with God and stand with your leader is not in age, but in the condition of heart.
Eliab was judging David by his own perception and state of heart. But it was God who was working in David.
Sometimes by all the standards of men, you don’t seem to be qualified to do the things God has called you to do.
You may have a Christian big brother or sister, a prayerful relative, a lecturer, a colleague, or a seemingly God-fearing boss at work; who may take up the position of Eliab in your life.
He or she may have good intentions for you but can become the voice of discouragement in your life.
He or she may even ask or tell you:
– “The way you have taken ministry and kingdom matters seriously, are you Jesus Christ?”
– “Every day you are involved in ministry. Do you think you are the only born again?”
– “Do you know how long I have served the Lord, and the things I have done for the Lord? If there is a reward will I be at this level?”
– “Do you think you have what it takes to do big things? You are wasting time, just find somewhere to sit and mind your own business.”
Don’t be disrespectful, just do as David did; see it as a distraction, turn away and focus on the goal.
The thing is, the devil will not inspire you to show up with Jesus and stand with the Kingdom assignment.
The devil will not inspire you to take bold steps for the Lord.
Whatever you are inspired to do, it is God who is working in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure. (Philippians 2:13).
Refuse to be distracted by an Eliab

BEWARE OF AN ELIAB 1
“Eliab, his older brother, heard David fraternizing with the men and lost his temper: “What are you doing here! Why aren’t you minding your own business, tending that scrawny flock of sheep? I know what you’re up to. You’ve come down here to see the sights, hoping for a ringside seat at a bloody battle!”
1 Samuel 17:28 (Message)
There are several verses in the Bible that instruct and provide warning to the saints in Christ to beware of some fellows in the Church.
Such as:

– Those who teach another gospel, which is not the gospel of Jesus. ( 2 Corinthians 11:4)
– False Teachers (Titus 1:10-11).
– Error of unprincipled men (2 Peter 3:17)
– Beware of dogs (Philippians 3:2). This is in reference to Christians who imposed requirements of the law of Moses and the religious practices of Jews as means of Salvation.
– Orators who deceive through old fables and philosophical reasoning. (Colossians 2:8)
– Those who cause division and put obstacles contrary to the teachings of Christ. (Romans 16:17-18)
There are many others the scriptures (especially the epistles), have warned the saints to avoid.
There are some other characteristics we have to avoid as we journey towards the fulfilment of God’s purpose for our lives.
Get this as we delve into today’s topic; the apostles recognized the Old Testament portion of the Bible (Genesis to Malachi) as the scriptures.
They established that the stories of people, events, places, etc which are written in the scriptures (Old Testament portion of the Bible) were for our learning.
“Whatever was written beforehand is meant to instruct us in how to live. The Scriptures impart to us encouragement and inspiration so that we can live in hope and endure all things.” Romans 15:4 (TPT)
See this as well:
“Now all these things happened to them as examples, and they were written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages have come.” 1 Corinthians 10:11 (NKJV)
The people, their stories and events we read in the scriptures are not to just keep us abreast of historical accounts. They are testimonies of the revelation of Jesus (John 5:39) and also dispense virtues for our living through the knowledge of Christ.
Just as we are already gleaning wisdom from the life of David for our living.
Having this understanding, you must know that, there is no agreed concept in the scriptures called Eliab. Nevertheless, the character of Eliab in our study today embodies a certain group of people we must beware of as we journey towards purpose.
Eliab was the first Son of Jesse, while David was the youngest son. Thus, Eliab was David’s direct older brother.
Eliab wasn’t just an ordinary person. He wasn’t just a soldier in the army of Israel. He exudes so much aura of honor and hardly will anyone ignore him. Even Samuel the prophet nearly traded the consistency of his prophetic accuracy at the sight of Eliab.
Prophet Samuel was sent by God to anoint a new king for Israel from the house of Jesse.
So the Prophet invited Jesse and his sons, to where he was going to worship.
“When they arrived, Samuel took one look at Eliab and thought, “Here he is! God’s anointed!” 1 Samuel 16:6 (Message)
The Prophet was convinced that Eliab was the king the moment he saw him. His appearance was elegant and depicted royalty.
And Samuel was a great Prophet whose words never fell to the ground.
“As Samuel grew up, the LORD was with him, and everything Samuel said proved to be reliable.” 1 Samuel 3:19 (NLT)
It wasn’t only Samuel who nearly appointed Eliab as king of Israel. Even God considered Eliab.
“But God told Samuel, “Looks aren’t everything. Don’t be impressed with his looks and stature. I’ve already eliminated him. God judges persons differently than humans do. Men and women look at the face; God looks into the heart.” 1 Samuel 16:7 (Message).
God eliminated Eliab because he first included him on his list.
From this background you will understand the authority of Eliab as an older brother to David and also the presence he commands through his appearance.
Well, of all his aura in his looks and stature, he was part of Israel’s army who fell back and were frightened at the appearance of Goliath.
He wouldn’t dare take a step forward to confront Goliath. Thus, Eliab was excellent in appearance but a coward at heart.
He wasn’t bold enough and passionate about the Lord’s course to show up with the Lord and stand with his leader.
There are people in the Church like Eliab.
They outwardly look attractive and anointed. They enlist to be leaders and part of God’s work. They wish to do more for the Lord and claim to know the Lord. They believe they are serving the Lord but are not willing to go the extra mile for Jesus.
On the day of adversity, they can’t show up for Jesus. When everything seems to be comfortable and all glorious, they show up in their elegance. But never will they roll up their sleeves to work.
They are like Demas; Paul said this of Demas:
“Demas has deserted me because he loves the things of this life and has gone to Thessalonica…” 2 Timothy 4:10 (NLT).
Beware of drawing inspiration from such people. They will never take a step for Jesus. They are in the Church, but are occupied with their self-interest (2 Timothy 3:2). They are only moved by convenience but not with conviction.
The slightest confrontation or attack against the Church, the Kingdom and the gospel they fall back.
They don’t truly love the things of Christ (Philippians 2:21).
Yet, they will complain when you are willing to go the extra mile or complain that you are risking your life for the spread of the gospel.
Beware of such, and avoid their pessimism.
Don’t be afraid, the Lord will bring you into success, for He works in you both to will and to do to fulfill His good pleasure and purpose.
Selah!

BEHOLD THE REALITY OF JESUS 3 – DEALING WITH DECEPTION 10
“Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”
Acts 4:12 (NKJV)
Jesus came to bring you into full salvation.
If you are born again already, you don’t need to think of how you will get saved again. For you are already saved.
However, don’t believe any doctrine which teaches or even mentions other options for salvation.
Salvation is only in Jesus!
This must settle in your heart.
No religion promises or boasts of Salvation. Not to even mention Eternal Salvation.
Don’t be gullible; don’t accept any false doctrine of men and don’t fall for their godless imaginations.
Let’s look again at Paul’s concern for the Church in Corinth:
“I am anxious for you with the deep concern of God himself—anxious that your love should be for Christ alone, just as a pure maiden saves her love for one man only, for the one who will be her husband. But I am frightened, fearing that in some way you will be led away from your pure and simple devotion to our Lord, just as Eve was deceived by Satan in the Garden of Eden. You seem so gullible: you believe whatever anyone tells you even if he is preaching about another Jesus than the one we preach, or a different spirit than the Holy Spirit you received, or shows you a different way to be saved. You swallow it all.“ 2 Corinthians 11:2-4 (TLB)
Don’t swallow any doctrine which points to another Jesus and a different way to be saved.
After Peter and John were arrested for getting the lame healed, they were brought before the Jewish leaders. Peter gave one of the most beautiful responses to their questions:
“And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, By what power, or by what name, have ye done this?
Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said unto them, Ye rulers of the people, and elders of Israel, If we this day be examined of the good deed done to the impotent man, by what means he is made whole;
Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole. This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” Acts 4:9-12 (KJV).
Did you notice the audacity and conviction in the words of Peter?
This is more than a religious utterance. It is the declaration of the reality of Jesus. The matter of salvation is a matter of life.
It is only Christ Jesus you receive the impartation of the divine life.
Beloved in Christ let no one sway you off this truth. Walk in this glorious reality of Jesus: HE IS THE ONLY WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE!
Hallelujah!
