Theme: The ETERNAL ADOPTION: Bringing Many Sons To Glory

The Pathway To Spiritual Growth

Pastor Tosin Gabriel

We Have Stayed So Much On Milk That Milk Has Become Stale And Corrupted And There Is No Longer Message In The Church. God Is Raising New Ministers That Will Change The Administration Of The Body.

What We Are Receiving Are Teachings Of Jesus And If We Can’t Teach His Teachings, What Else Can We Teach?

Matthew 6:25

Therefore I Say Unto You, Take No Thought For Your Life, What Ye Shall Eat, Or What Ye Shall Drink; Nor Yet For Your Body, What Ye Shall Put On. Is Not The Life More Than Meat, And The Body Than Raiment? 

What Jesus Is Saying Here Is That Your Ambition And Goal Should Not Be According To The Present. *God Is Helping Us To Come To Our Destiny Which Is Eternal Life*. The Reason God Created Man Is So That He Can Inherit Eternal Life. ‘If I End Up Not Having Eternal Life I Have Been Created In Vain, I Am A Waste’. Any One That Doesn’t Inherit Eternal Life And Turns His Back Will Be Sent To The Lake Of Fire. Lake Of Fire Is Not For Men But Some People Will Go To Lake Because In Their Life Time They Didn’t Learn Christ.

Matthew 25:41

Then Shall He Say Also Unto Them On The Left Hand, Depart From Me, Ye Cursed, Into Everlasting Fire, Prepared For The Devil And His Angels:

God Didn’t Prepare Everlasting Fire For Man, It Was A Preparation For Satan And His Angel But Any Man That Doesn’t Treasure Eternal Life And Seek The Way To Eternal Life Will End Up Having Eternal Fellowship With The Devil And His Angels. You Must Treasure The Word Of Eternal Life, Pursue It Until You Can Understand It. Understanding Grows With Time, It Builds Up With Time, Seek For Understanding.

Hosea 6:3

Then Shall We Know, If We Follow On To Know The LORD: His Going Forth Is Prepared As The Morning; And He Shall Come Unto Us As The Rain, As The Latter And Former Rain Unto The Earth.

This Is The Curriculum Of Life.

John 1:14

And The Word Was Made Flesh, And Dwelt Among Us, (and We Beheld His Glory, The Glory As Of The Only Begotten Of The Father,) Full Of Grace And Truth.

What Level Of Conversion Is This For The Word To Become Flesh? He Was Made A Little Lower Than The Angels, This Is A Lot Of Investment. For All That Is Born Again, Heaven Has Made A Huge Investment And They Didn’t Stop At Making The Word Flesh; They Sent The Holy Spirit. They Have Made A Huge Investment In Making Us Become Somebody In Life And Eternal Life. We Must All Press For Life And Understanding. Seek For Life.

Be Diligent To Make Your Calling And Election Sure.

Hebrews 5:10           

Called Of God An High Priest After The Order Of Melchisedec.

What The Writer Was Doing Is To Move The Heart Of The Churches To Looking At The High Priestly Ministry Of Jesus In Eternal Life But There Was A Restraint From The People.

Hebrews 5:11

Of Whom We Have Many Things To Say, And Hard To Be Uttered, Seeing Ye Are Dull Of Hearing. 

This Is The General State Of The Body, There Is So Much Dullness In The Body. The Business Of Church Is To Hear.

Hebrews 5:12

For When For The Time Ye Ought To Be Teachers, Ye Have Need That One Teach You Again Which Be The First Principles Of The Oracles Of God; And Are Become Such As Have Need Of Milk, And Not Of Strong Meat.

These People Are Supposed To Be Teachers. Milk Receivers Are Not Teachers. It Was Expected Of These People That They Should Move From Milk And Become Expert In Meat By Life (teachers Of The Way) And Then They Can Move To The Utterance Of verse 10 Which Is Strong Milk But They Still Needed Milk.

1 Peter 2:2

As Newborn Babes, Desire The Sincere Milk Of The Word, That Ye May Grow Thereby:

Milk Is For Babies And It Is Right To Give Milk To Babies. It Is The Responsibility Of Leaders In Church To Give Milk To New Converts (no Matter The Age Or Experience).

Milk Is For Babes In Christ, But Milk Is Not The End Of The Conversation. You Are Supposed To Take Milk But Outgrow Milk, It Is A Taboo To Stay On Milk For A Long Time; It Means We Are Not Growing, Because If A Person Is Taking Milk And He Is Growing, A Time Will Come That He Will Ask For More. Our Entry Point On The Journey To Eternal Adoption Is To Take Sincere Milk.

1 Corinthians 3:1

And I, Brethren, Could Not Speak Unto You As Unto Spiritual, But As Unto Carnal, Even As Unto Babes In Christ.

New Birth Is Not Equal To Spirituality; That We Are Born Again Doesn’t Mean Immediately We Are Spiritual.

1 Corinthians 3:2

I Have Fed You With Milk, And Not With Meat: For Hitherto Ye Were Not Able To Bear It, Neither Yet Now Are Ye Able.

Milk Does Not Make A Man Spiritual. ‘Milk Should Prepare Me, Grow Me Until I Am Being Made Spiritual’. Being Made Spiritual Is By Feeding. The More I Feed, The More Spiritual I Become. What Some People Feed On In Church Is Not Milk, It Is Just Junk. We Have To Clarify What Milk Is And What It Is Not. A Man Can Enter Wrong Meat.

Hebrews 13:9

Be Not Carried About With Divers And Strange Doctrines. For It Is A Good Thing That The Heart Be Established With Grace; Not With Meats, Which Have Not Profited Them That Have Been Occupied Therein.

As We Have Pure Milk Of The Word, We Also Have Pure Meat. A Man Can Take Meat And Enter Into Higher Flesh Because Knowledge Puffs Up. Have A Strong Affinity For The Doctrine Of Christ; That Is The Sure Pathway To Glory.

Hebrews 5:12

For When For The Time Ye Ought To Be Teachers, Ye Have Need That One Teach You Again Which Be The First Principles Of The Oracles Of God; And Are Become Such As Have Need Of Milk, And Not Of Strong Meat.

Milk Is The First Principles Of The Oracle Of God. Milk Is The Basic Principles Of God’s Revelation, It Is Elementary But You Must Not Stay On It For Too Long. Most People That Are Born Again Are Born Again To Pursue The World. Pure Milk Is Not So Much In Existence.

Hebrews 6:1

Therefore Leaving The Principles Of The Doctrine Of Christ, Let Us Go On Unto Perfection; Not Laying Again The Foundation Of Repentance From Dead Works, And Of Faith Toward God,

Milk Is Not The Doctrine Of Christ, It Is Introduction To The Doctrine Of Christ. The Doctrine Of Christ Is Not What Flesh And Blood Can Receive Instantaneously. When A Man Became Born Again, His Spirit Became Regenerated But His Soul Is Still Intact. It Is Possible To Be Born Again And Still Commit Sin, It Doesn’t Mean You Are Not Born Again, It Is The Soul That Still Needs To Be Worked Upon To Become Sinless.

Our Spirit Is Regenerated But The Soul Is Still Very Raw. The Conflict Many Christians Have Though Born Again Is That Their Soul Is Still Raw In Sin. What God Has In Mind Is That He Will Raise That Soul Till It Becomes Sinless (the Very Estate Of God) But To Take The Soul Through The Training, They Start With Giving Milk To That Soul.

Milk Is Introduction To The Doctrine Of Christ, it Is Not The Doctrine Of Christ.

Hebrews 6:1-2

Therefore Leaving The Principles Of The Doctrine Of Christ, Let Us Go On Unto Perfection; Not Laying Again The Foundation Of Repentance From Dead Works, And Of Faith Toward God,  Of The Doctrine Of Baptisms, And Of Laying On Of Hands, And Of Resurrection Of The Dead, And Of Eternal Judgment.

These Are Contents Of Milk. In Milk, You Are Taught ‘repentance From Dead Works’. As You Are Learning Milk, You Begin To Undo The Way Of Dead Works. ‘Faith Towards God’ Is A Faith We Are Taught. Milk Will Turn You Away From Idols To Faith Towards God. All These Are Strata And Contents Of The Sincere Milk Of The Word. When We Are Taught Eternal Judgement For Instance, There Is A Way That The Fear Of God Will Increase.

After You Have Done Milk (elementary Teaching Of The Doctrine Of Christ) You Will Be Graduated Into Meat Of The Word (doctrine Of Christ). The Meat Of The Word Is The Teaching Of Jesus Christ. It Is To Open Christ To Us After We Have Developed In Milk. Eternal Adoption Is Our Adoption Into The Eternal Order Of God (eternal Righteousness And Immortality).

A Man Who Is Still Worldly Can’t Come Close To Glory, He Is Far Away. The Best Way To Help Him Is To Bring Him To The Doctrine Of Christ. When We Begin To Receive Doctrine Of Christ Is When We Are Becoming Spiritual. Gifts Of The Spirit Are To Elevate Us To A Level In Christ, It Is Not To Increase Carnality. When We Come Into Christ Is When Our Spirituality Begins.

What Is Christ?

Sometimes We Claim To Learn Christ But We Aren’t.

Ephesians 4:20

But Ye Have Not So Learned Christ;

Christ Must Be Learnt, You Must Excel In Learning Christ. You Can’t Learn Christ Outside Of The Teaching Of Christ.

Romans 1:16

For I Am Not Ashamed Of The Gospel Of Christ: For It Is The Power Of God Unto Salvation To Every One That Believeth; To The Jew First, And Also To The Greek.

What Is The Gospel Of Christ? It Is The Power Of God Unto Salvation. When Christ Is Being Preached, Power Is Being Released. Christ Is The Power Of God But Satan Also Has Power.

Acts 26:18

To Open Their Eyes, And To Turn Them From Darkness To Light, And From The *power Of Satan Unto God*, That They May Receive Forgiveness Of Sins, And Inheritance Among Them Which Are Sanctified By Faith That Is In Me. 

Satan Also Has Power But It’s Not What We Think Generally As His Power. Satan Uses His Power To Make You Love The World Because *the Power Of Satan Is The World*. The World Is A Keeper Of Unrighteousness. The Power Of Satan Will Make A Man Become More Ungodly And Unrighteous. *The Deliverance From The Power Of Satan, Is That You Are Introduced To The Power Of God Which Is The Gospel Of Christ*.

Romans 8:17

And If Children, Then Heirs; Heirs Of God, And Joint-heirs With Christ; If So Be That We Suffer With Him, That We May Be Also Glorified Together. 

Christ Reveals The Righteousness Of God. Righteousness Of God Is What Makes A Man Spiritual. A Man Who Is Seeing The Righteousness Of God And Is Obeying The Righteousness Of God Through Faith Is A Spiritual Man.

Christ Is The Revelation Of God’s Righteousness. The Righteousness Of God Is A Code And To Hack In, You Need Christ. Unless Christ Is Taught, The Righteousness Of God Can’t Be Revealed. Christ Must Be Taught To Open The Righteousness Of God. The Only Antidote To Flesh Is The Doctrine Of Christ. A Man Can Fast To Kill Flesh And Flesh Will Still Be Intact.

You Can Be Like Jesus If You Hear Him Speak To You. The Blood Is The Administration Of The Life Of Christ. When Christ Is Taught, He Breaks The Yoke Of Flesh. The Essence Of Prayer Is To Open ‘more’ To You. Pray And Excel In Hearing. When Christ Is Taught, The Code Of Flesh Begins To Break.

As You Obey The Righteousness Of God, You Are In The Race Of Righteousness. If You Have Not Started Hearing Christ, You Have Not Started The Race. I Begin To Race When I Start Hearing Christ And Obeying Christ. Running The Race In Christ Is What Expires Flesh Nature In Man. ‘The More I Obey His Word (righteousness), The More Flesh Is Expired In Me.’

1 Corinthians 9:25

And Every Man That Striveth For The Mastery Is Temperate In All Things. Now They Do It To Obtain A Corruptible Crown; But We An Incorruptible.

The Crown Is What We Get When We Finish The Race. When We Have Run The Race And We Finish It Then We Get The Incorruptible Crown.

1 Corinthians 9:26

I Therefore So Run, Not As Uncertainly; So Fight I, Not As One That Beateth The Air:

Christ Is So Clear, He Is The Revelation Of The Righteousness Of God. Some Of The Prayers Prayed Are Distractions; They Keep Eyes Away From The Truth.

1 Corinthians 9:27

But I Keep Under My Body, And Bring It Into Subjection: Lest That By Any Means, When I Have Preached To Others, I Myself Should Be A Castaway.

If You Have Not Obeyed Righteousness, You Will Be A Cast Away And Won’t Get Crown. Let Us All Love The Doctrine Of Christ. ‘When I Love The Doctrine Of Christ, I Love The Righteousness Of Christ’. Anyone That Loves This World Is A Lover Of Iniquity.

2 Timothy 4:7

I Have Fought A Good Fight, I Have Finished My Course, I Have Kept The Faith:

This Is The Race Of Learning Righteousness And Doing Righteousness. The Reward Of Finishing The Race Is A Crown Of Righteousness. These Are The Kinds Of Men That Have Loved And Learnt Righteousness. You Can’t Be Immortal If You Are Not Eternally Righteous. The Secret Of Immortality Is That You Are Crowned With Righteousness.

We Have Earthly Vocation, But The Learning Of Christ Is Our Vocation.
