Message Review: (Week 3) Buy The Truth

Mesaage title: Buy The Truth 

Speaker: Apostle Joshua Selman 

Reviewed by: Isaac Beke

INTRODUCTION 

Any destiny that desires advancement and to the see the fulness of the life and the power of God find expression through it must understand the power of truth.

To sell the truth is to part ways with it. 

The factor that distinguishes men in the Kingdom is the degree to which they have access to this treasure that the Bible calls truth. 

Dominion is not an impartation. It the resultant effect of the value that an individual has placed towards his pursuit for truth. 

Any two people are distinguished in life and destiny to the degree that they pursue and seek truth. 

The pursuit of truth will cost you. Accessing the truth does not come at the instance of your seeking it alone. It is a product of exchange. 

The receipt for buying the truth is a life of exploit. 

Truth only resides in the word. The word of God is the exclusive compendium of Truth.

Why do you need the truth? What is captured in truth and why is it so expensive? Without the truth you are in bondage.The truth has the power to influence your freedom. You do not know the extent of bondage you are until the truth arrives. 

The truth sustains the ability to bring all round freedom.

The truth works on the law of exchange. Every product is purchased with a currency. There are five spiritual currencies that we use in buying the truth

CURRENCIES FOR BUYING THE TRUTH 

1. HUNGER AND DESIRE 

Men who find truth that builds their life and turns them into signs and wonders are men of hunger. 

A passive believer will never find truth. 

Biologically hunger is a proof of health. The moment your hunger dies for greater levels of God's glory it means you are not ready to go far with God. 

Champions are known for the level of their hunger. 

The presence of God is free but not cheap. 

The power of God is free but not cheap. 

There glory of God is free but not cheap. 

There is a price to pay. The price is not money, that is too mundane. The price is hunger. 

The jealously of God demands that He becomes your exclusive obsession. If at any point in your Christian experience there is any other thing that meanders it's way to become a priority other than God and His purposes you have aborted your potential for encounter with God. 

The jealousy of God will vet your desire until God and the things of the Spirit becomes your ultimate obsession.

Many people never encounter God because they have many passive desires. They have desire for fame, for money, for growth, to be a celebrity then God is somewhere smuggled into the equation. You don't do business with God that way. 

More of God does not come by admiring those that God is using. There must be an hunger generated in your heart. 

The fuel for impact is hunger. 

Desire that drives you to fast. Desire that drives you to a retreat. 

Desire that drives you towards consecration. 

2. THE CURRENCY OF MEEKNESS AND HUMILITY 

Pride has been the undoing of many potential champions. 

It is in the character of God to test you with little of what He wants to give you much of and watch your reaction. Everything God gives you the first time is not the level He intends to give, there is a greater level but He will watch for the currency of humility. 

Mamy preachers have pegged their growth because of the arrogance of little result. 

The adventure in this Kingdom is not about who you are better than. It is about rising to the mark of the high calling of Christ. 

In the school of the Spirit there is no graduation only promotions from one level to another. 

3. THE CURRENCY OF GENUINE CONNECTION AND FOLLOWERSHIP   

Proximity to the anointing is not connection. 

Every time you see a great life the maker has met that life. The maker makes men and He asks us to follow Him. 

Your mountain is only relative to you, it's not a general mountain. There are graces that can trivialise what you call a mountain.

Every challenge is at the mercy of the grace that confronts it. Challenges are not general. 

The price for followership of anybody that genuinely carries grace is not convenience. 

Followership is not by convenience it is by revelation. 

4. THE CURRENCY OF FAITH 

Faith does not just give, faith reveals 

We can buy understanding with faith. 

Faith ushers us into realms. 

It will take faith for you to be able to buy the truth. In this world there are no guarantees. 

The truth of giving looks weak until you see what it does to poverty. 

The truth of obedience looks weak until you see what it does to disobedience.

The truth of prayer looks weak until you see what it does to the realm of the spirit. 

The truth of fasting looks weak until you see what it does to your spirit man.

The truth of revelation looks weak until you see what it does to your spirit and your mind. 

5. THE CURRENCY OF PRAYER  

SUMMARY 

 SELL IT NOT 

When you get to times where you face challenges in your spiritual life Satan will come and say 'give me your hunger and passion for God and I will give you rest even though temporary' .

You can sell the truth through compromise, complacency or weariniess. 

Everytime what you had is no longer with you, you sold it. The devil buys it in your moment of weariness. 

The truth is everything that represents God. 

If you see men that are rich towards God it is not manic, they bought the truth. 

If you see a church that is flourishing they bought the truth. 

Everywhere you see results you will see the signature of hunger and desire, you will see the signature of meekness and humility, you will see the signature if of genuine connection and followership, you will see the signature of Bible faith and you will see the signature of prayer.

Let No Man Despise Thy Youth pt 1

Do you feel that you are being taken for granted? Do you feel that you deserve more respect than you are currently receiving? Or do you feel that your worth and value is not being acknowledged as it should? There are two ways to go about it.  You can either fight and bully people into respecting you or you can earn their respect by making a few adjustments. If you chose the later then this post is for you. Here are a few factors that will bring the result that you desire.  People often rate what level of respect to accord you based on their perception of who you are, and their perception is dependent on your presentation. In life, you don't always have a second chance to make a first time impression. Therefore, if you want to command respect then you must begin by ensuring that your presentation is not giving you out.  My idea of the concept 'respect is reciprocal' is this, if I respect myself and treat myself with value, dignity and honour others will have no choice but ...

The rat race vs complacency and mediocrity

  M any people are unconsciously caught up in a rat race today. They keep going in circles trying to get more out of life, comparing their self with their wealthy class mates, colleagues and contemporaries, with the feeling that the more wealth they are able to acquire the happier they will become. They will will rather trade their family and their health just to get the next dollar or a promotion at the work place.  This set of people are on a journey to satisfying the insatiable desire that resides in all of humanity and they will stop at nothing until they acquire everything their eyes can find.  On the other side of the street there are people who are satisfied with the level they are. They have no desire to change things around their life or to pursue anything that takes them out of their comfort zone.  They sneer at everyone who seems to be busy trying to make meaning out of their life, they consider such people to be greedy, selfish and reckless risky takers. ...

2. Your words:  Your mouth is the window to your heart. Whatever comes out of your mouth is a reflection of the state of your heart. It means that no one can know the state of your heart until you speak because out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.  People come into a new environment and because they are yet to speak it is safe to assume that they are wise, especially if they are properly dressed. However, the moment they start talking people can either withdraw every form of respect they had for them because their words does not correlate with their appearance or they can increase the level of respect they had for them.  It has been said that giving respect to a fool is like placing a golden ring in the snout of a pig. When people can't find wisdom in your words or trace any form of value in your speaking it will be difficult for them to accord you the respect that you deserve.  It is better to remain silent and allow people to assume that you are a wi...

5. Emotional Intelligence: This has to do with the ability to manage your emotions under all circumstances. If you are an impulsive person people will not take you seriously. Such people function based on what emotional state they are.  So when they are happy, you will see them junping around. When they are sad, you see them incapacitated by that feeling. When they are angry, they can set an entire building on fire. And when you question them they will often justify their actions and blame it on their feelings.  Truth be told, if you cannot master your feelings you will never be able to command the respect of those around you. If your feelings control you people won't know how to relate with you.  Feelings vacilate, and since you have made yourself a subject to your feelings you will go about acting like someone that is suffering from schizophrenia.  Let me make two important points at this junction and I will focus on the second point a little: a. Our feelings are o...

Excerpt: Grow Up part 1 Volume 4 (The Twelve Indicators Of Adulthood)

1 . To grow up means you no longer need to be supervised before you do what is right. It means you comply with best practices whether someone is watching or not.  You always want to keep an eye on your child because you can't predict their next move. It is difficult to let a child alone in a room without making periodic checks on them. You want to make sure they are not destroying something and when when you ask them to get something done, you always want to put an eye on them to ensure that they comply with your instructions.  However, as an adult if you still require such policing before you do what is right it means that you have not really transited into adulthood. If your boss can not give you an instruction and expect you to do as you were told, if your parents still have to follow up on you just to make sure you are not doing something contrary to what you were told then it means that there is a gap in your transition process.  Taking responsibility is the hallmark...
