The Natural law within (Born again as true Lions)

A law is a rule guiding the activities of people or processes.  For example, it is a natural law that what goes up must come down because of the gravitational force.  There are natural laws guiding the activity of our environment from the planetary to the universal level.  Forces have been kept in place to maintain certain occurrences.

It is the nature of a fish to swim,  a lion to hunt,  a bird to fly, and a man to create. God has a nature too and it is to LOVE.  He has orchestrated everything in place to provide for His creations. However, something unnatural emerged as if from the abyss and tempered with the order in creation. A nature that is not God or love,  a nature that does not care for another creature,  a nature called SELF.

God as love is like the shining sun GIVING His light of love,  wisdom,  peace,  holiness, and righteousness to all creation but this new nature is like a vacuum cleaner sucking up all of nature's resources because it cares for no one or nothing but SELF.  This new nature works under the principle of STEALING,  KILLING, and DESTRUCTION.

From the parable of the wheat and tares in Mat 13:24-30, we understand that something unnatural took place that was contrary to the farmer’s will. The farmer was not in a hurry, he waited for nature to take its course.

Man fell to the nature of SELF in the garden and this is why there is so much evil in the world today,  the vacuum-sucking nature of a man’s heart is destructive in nature.  God knew that the only way out was for man to have His nature of love.  He chose a particular race to teach and explain that man can never be able to free himself from his sinful nature on his own,  even if he knew the right thing to do and so he (God) converted His nature of love into laws (Gal 5:14)and gave them to Israel so they could come to the end of themselves (having been burdened by the heavy weight of trying to save themselves from the selfish nature on their own) and cry for a Savior who will show them the way.

Jesus came to make walking in Love a natural phenomenon for man.  His life was a life of love,  he did not suck up the resources around Him,  having the nature of love, He was always GIVING: healing,  teaching,  counseling, and most of all, He gave His life i.e., His death on the cross. 

And today,  we too can walk in love by faith in Jesus.  He is the saviour of the World.  God so loved the world (knowing fully well that the evil nature of SELF will breed total destruction) that he had to give Jesus to teach us and to show us His nature,  and after advertising this nature,  that we should partake from it through Faith.

Man does not need to follow a set of do’s and don‘ts. Walking in love is now natural,  it is a natural law for everyone who believes in Jesus.  With God’s nature in us,  there can be a change. We are no longer goats trying to roar like lions.  Jesus who is the Lion of the tribe of Judah has given us the grace to be BORN AGAIN as true lions (John 1:12-13).

The parable of the Prince and Slave

-
Image
There was a certain prince from a very powerful Kingdom that journeyed far into other kingdoms in search of a bride. Try as he might, he found no woman that pleased him. He came up with a clever and novel plan,  he pulled off his royal apparel and wore a  commoner’s clothing. He revisited some of the kingdoms he had been to and discovered that people treated him differently, those that danced at his coming did not even recognize him, he saw the world in a whole new light. One day while sitting close to a well,  the young prince was suddenly captivated by a young lady. This was a surprise to his servants, they never really saw anything special about this feeble, and gaunt – looking lady with wounded marks all over her body. Perhaps what drew the prince to her was compassion. A heavy weight of chain was worn around her neck as her slave masters dragged her helplessly on the ground. The prince just could not  bear to watch this inhumane and savagery  scene, he jumped up and ran tow

The Ladder and Clock

  Using the clock and ladder model, I'll explain what God has laid on my heart. The clock represents God's nature of love and righteousness, while the ladder symbolizes the law of Moses. We, as humans, are like three-year-olds. The law instructs us to pick up the ladder, place it against the wall, climb up, and reach the clock. However, for a three-year-old, this is impractical, leading to repeated falls in attempts to pick up the ladder. Similarly, when we try to obey the law, we often fall back into our sinful nature, as it's impossible for us to fully fulfill the law. In this analogy, the Holy Spirit plays the role of the father of the three-year-old child. The Holy Spirit, being tall enough, can take the clock from the wall, give it to the child, and teach them how to use it. The Holy Spirit instills new desires, encourages us to walk in love and righteousness, and helps us produce good fruits without the need to climb the ladder.
