Wisdom Of The Ages

By
The Man Who Saw God Face To Face
Raphael Okechukwu Nweze

1. Let There Be Light
   
Then God said,” Let there be light"; and there was light. The light was from God, and the light was God. And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness (God appointed time for light and darkness, and day and night became manifest). Genesis 1:3-4


2. Let Them Alone
   
Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch. Matthew 15:14
What is more? Whoever that follows a blind man, makes himself a blind fellow.


3. You Shall Know The Truth
   
You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.
When you know the truth, you shall know the right to do.


4. Spirit Is Life
   
It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life. You are spirit, not flesh, just as the food is not the plate and as the drink is not the cup! John 6:63


5. Do You Believe?
   
Jesus often asked people, "Do you believe?" Believing is good. But, it is a disgrace to be an ignorant believer. You have to know the Truth.


6. By Their Fruits
   
Indeed, by their fruits you shall know them. And by their works you shall confirm them. (Work refers to their actions: man-made doctrines, customs and traditions, and fruits mean the results of their actions, which results are always false, misleading the ignorant multitudes.)


7. Where Your Treasure Is
   
"Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. And where your heart is, there yourself are (is present)! Matthew 6:19-21


8. Manifold Blessings
   
Blessed are those who know the truth. However, double-blessed are they who know the truth and do not fear; and triple-blessed are they who know and speak the truth without fear.
         Blessed are those who believe the truth, because they attain the same level with those who know. Yet, triple-blessed are those who know the truth, for they not only believe, but also know and experience it.


9. Blessed Are The Poor In Spirit.
   
Blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Rejoice, oh Children of God, for what you lost has been restored to you.


10. Life In Spirit
    
I came that you may have life and have it abundantly. Yes, abundant life indeed, not only in heaven, but even so now and here on earth.


11. Learn From Buddha
    
• The sharpest sword is the word spoken in wrath.
• The deadliest poison is covetousness.
• The fiercest fire is passion.
• The person who gains the greatest benefit is the generous.
• Those who lose most are the selfish and greedy, who receive without gratitude.
• The invulnerable amour is patience.
• The best weapon is wisdom.
• The most dangerous thief is evil thought. The end point of evil is self-destruction. In doing so, it also destroys whoever that is its agent. Be Warned!
• The most secure treasure-trove is immortality.
• The most attractive is good.
• The most disgusting is evil.
• The most horrible pain is a bad conscience.
• The greatest enjoyment is deliverance.
• What causes pain is ignorance.
• What breaks friendship is envy backed by selfishness.
• The most violent fever is hatred.
• The best physician is Buddha (Saviour).
• What neither fire burns, nor moisture corrodes, even nothing crushes it, and is able to reform the whole world is blessing.


12. Praising God
    
The Lord said that we have no other work to do except to be praising His good works. Yes, we shall not only praise the Lord, we shall eat the Lord and become one with the Lord.


13. Wisdom
    
Every tree not planted by my Father shall be uprooted. The end point of every evil is self-destruction. And in doing so, it also destroys whosoever is its agent. Be Warned!


14. If Salt Loses Its Worth, How Can Its Saltiness Be Restored.
    
I was following you, because you are a reverend. Now, I know that you do not know the route or destination. You do not even know yourself or the King you serve.


15. Leave the dead to bury their own dead.
    

The ignorant man
     Walked into the fold
     Of his enemies.
And
The enemies
     Tied up his hands.
     And chained his feet.

Then
     They blindfolded him.
     And made him dumb.

When they have put the man
     In bondage,
     They said to him,
     “We are your friends.”
Yet, the man did not know
     That he is in the enemies’ camp.

Explanations Of The Parable Of The Ignorant Man

1. The man is ignorant because he does not have spiritual knowledge and wisdom.
2. They tied up his hands because they prevent him from using his spiritual powers. He does not even know that he has great spiritual powers. They deprived him of the powers of anointing, healing, deliverance, etc.
3. They tied up his legs because they prevent him from going to places where he can find God and discover himself.
4. They blindfolded him by blocking his spirit of vision, prophecy, dream, trance, oracle, etc.
5. They made him dumb because he no longer teaches the truth. He keeps himself busy teaching man-made doctrines in place of God’s commandments.
6. They put him in bondage, because he is spiritually stagnant and complacent, without knowing it.
7. They said to him, “We are your friends,” by calling him ‘Reverend,’ ‘Man of God,’ ‘Saint’ or ‘A good man.’
8. Yet, the man did not know that he is in the enemies’ camp, because he continues to ignore the truth about life. He does not know the truth about God, and cannot distinguish between things of God and things of darkness.
9. The man is like a soldier in search of his enemy. He took with him heavy weapons. Everyday, he went about searching for his enemy, without knowing that he is already inside the belly of his enemy. Such is the predicament of the teeming ignorant humanity.


16. And Jeus Wept.
    
When you know what Jesus knows, you shall weep more than Jesus. I have cried, and I have wept several times. For the world do not know that God loves them. Besides, they do not know that they are already lost. Once more I repeat what Jesus said, "Father, forgive them for they do not know what they do. They have heard about You, and they love You, except that they do not know how to love You. They do what they do because they think that is the best way to love."


17. He Shall Testify Of Me.
    
"But when the Helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify of Me. And you also will bear witness, because you have been with Me from the beginning." John 15:26-27
         Now, I have come from the Father, and I testify of Jesus. I say what Jesus said, and I do what Jesus did. Also, I say and do what Jesus would say and do. I wonder how Jesus was able to say those things He said without adulteration, even when the world was in utter darkness. Nobody could say or do what He said and did then, except He were God from the beginning. And He is God.


18. In The Name Of The Father, Of The Son And Of The Holy Spirit.
    
Jesus taught you to say, "... in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit." Matthew 28:19-20 Today, I teach you to as well say, "... in the name of the Father, Who is the Son and Who is also the Holy Spirit."


19. I Am With You Always.
    
Indeed, He is. You cannot experience His presence if you do not live in spirit and in truth.


20. Blessed Are The Pure In Heart...
    
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.
Indeed, twice blessed are the pure in heart, for they not only see God, but also know Him, for there are many things which you see, but do not know about.
And triple blessed are the pure in heart, for they also experience God. And I tell you the truth, those who experience God have overcome the world. They have become one with Him.


21. The Violent Take The Kingdom By Force.
    
And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force. Besides, ever since the time of Adam and Eve, ignorant religious and mischievous leaders mislead the teeming multitudes away from the gate of heaven.


22. Jesus Forbids Oaths
    
Jesus said, "Again you have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not swear falsely, but shall perform your oaths to the Lord.' 34 But I say to you, do not swear at all: neither by heaven, for it is God's throne; 35 nor by the earth, for it is His footstool; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. 36 Nor shall you swear by your head, because you cannot make one hair white or black. 37 But let your 'Yes' be 'Yes,' and your 'No,' 'No.' For whatever is more than these is from the evil one. Matthew 5:33-37
         Whatever you swear with, you are bound to lose if your oath does not prove true. So, how can you swear with what is not yours? No, it is not proper.
         Every man of wisdom does not entangle himself in the illusive world of matter. He frees himself from every bondage and hindrance. For none can be perfect without the Holy Spirit from God. Hence, none is righteous for righteousness belongs to God, who imparts the same to His children by the Holy Spirit.
         All actions are performed by the forces of nature, by the Holy Spirit. Always give glory to God.


23. The Blessed Virgin Marys Of This Generation.
    
The world honours the Blessed Virgin Mary. Truly, I say to you that while it is good to honour those to whom honour is due, it is far better to become one of the Saints. For there are many virgins today (Ministries) who are already spiritually pregnant with the Word of God. For as Jesus was in the belly of Blessed Virgin Mary, in the same way He spiritually indwells many Blessed Virgin Marys of today (Ministries). Unfortunately, and deceitfully too, many today worship Mary, and still claim that they are only honouring her. Blessed are those who hear the voice of the lamb and follow Him to everlasting pastures.
