Christianity Etc › "eve",foreshadow "the Church" by ichuka(op):
Gen.2:18;and the LORD God said,it is not good that the man should be alone;I will make him an help meet for him.in creation.

Adam and Eve were created human beings.but each typify something different.1con15:49-49 says that Adam was a type of Christ.he was the figure of who is to come(Roms5:14).

all that God purposed in Adam was to be achieve in Christ.Gen2:18-24,Ephesians5:22-32,clearly shows that Eve  typifies the Church."therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother,and shall cleave unto his wife,and they shall be one flesh"-Gen2:24,Eph5:31).because Adam needed a help meet,God caused a deep sleep upon him and took one of his ribs and made a woman for Adam(Gen2:21-23).the bible stated clearly that all of the things made of the earth and not taken from the body of Adam could not be his help meet(all the beasts,the cattle,the birds)they were not taken out of Adam,theycan't be his help meet:we must remember Eve was form out of the rib taken of Adam,therefore,She was The constituent of Adam.the fact that Adam is the only material used to make Eve,signifies that the only material of which the Church was made is Christ,the Church is not you,me and all the Christians in the world,the Church is the Christ in you,in me, and in all the Christians  in the world.all our natural talents,abilities,thoughts and strength are outside the Church.
May God grant us more Grace to see His Divine full purpose and thought about His Church,and may  His Spirit continue to deal with our natural life in order to constitute Christ in our being.
Christianity Etc › The Initiator,the Enjoyment In Christ And The Constitution Of The Spirit by ichuka(op): 11:04pm On Oct 05, 2011
In exo.3:6,God said,"I am, the God of Abraham,the God of Isaac,and the God of Jacob"
God chose the Israelites to be His people.He later included the Gentiles(Eph2:19,Roms2:29).the history of the Israelites is a pattern to us(Christains).
The center of Redemption is our Lord Jesus.however,the begining of Redemption was with Abraham(Acts7:2-4).Abraham original name was Abram-father,later God changed it to Abraham-father of multitude.throughout his whole life he learned one lesson-knowing God as the Father,for God to be the Father means that God is the Creator,the unique INITIATOR,Genesis1:1 begins by saying "in the begining God, "in the begining it was not us but God,everything originated from Him.
Abraham never volunteer to go to the land flowing with milk and honey,he was ignorant about the land beforehand,he did not even know where he was going when God called him(heb.11:cool.God said it first,he then went and possesed it.by knowing God as the Father,He became the father of multitude.
The God of "Isaac"is the Enjoyment of the father's inheritance.throughout the life time of Isaac everything he had was a matter of Enjoyment and recieving.he typifies our Lord Jesus(Gal4:23)he was not born according to the flesh,he was placed on the altar and recieve back from the altar as the one who had come back from the dead(heb.11:19).his father sent a servant to his own country and kindred to find a wife for him,which typifies the Holy Spirit seeking out the Church,he never argue or struggle with his father.even when bound upon an altar,he did nothing and said nothing.he makes no decision and did nothing for himself,he only reopen the wells dug by his father and gave them the same name(Gen26:18)he was buried in a grave prepared by his father(Gen49:30-31).knowing the God of Isaac is to Enjoy the riches in Christ.
The God of "Jacob"implies how the Holy Spirit dweth with Jacob's natural life and Constituded Christ in him.how the fruit of the Spirit was bored in him.
The outstanding characteristic of Jacob's natural constitution was his cleverness,he can decieve anyone,he was filled with schemes and deceits.but.at the same time,we see a person whom the Holy Spirit discipled step by step.
He held his brothers heel,yet,he still ended up being the younger brother,he supplant his brother with pottage and usurped the birthright,but he not his brother eventually ran away from home,he recieve his father's blessing,but he still became a wanderer,he wanted to marry rachel,but,laban gave him leah first,for 20years heat consumed him in the day and frost in the night(Gen31:40).he was crippled by God at peniel(Gen32:28).he shed many tears and his natural strenght was dweth with and stripped away by the Spirit.the experience of Jacob is to know the Constitution by the Spirit and the fruit of the Spirit.
Abraham shows us that everything is of God,to recieve and Enjoy the riches in christ is the God of Isaac,to allow the Holy Spirit Constitute Christ in us and bring forth the fruit of the Spirit is knowing the God of Jacob.
Christianity Etc › The Alpha And The Omega by ichuka(op): 10:39pm On Sep 29, 2011
"I am the alpha and the Omega,the First and the Last,the Begining and the End"(Rev22:13)
one of the titles of which our Lord Jesus Christ takes to Himself in Ressurection is:the Alpha and the Omega.
Alpha and Omega are the first and the last letters of the Greek alphabet.
In every alphabet there is something which corresponds to an 'A' and a 'Z,' an alpha and omega.a begining and an end.it does nt matter how complicated the alphabet may be,or if it only contains a poor 26letters as in English,everything is bounded by the 'A' and the 'Z'.no speech is possible in any language outside of what comes between those two letters.
The Word of God tells us that in "Him" were all things created,He is before all things and in "Him" all things hold together,and in "Him" dwelleth the fullness of God(col1:16-19)all things were made through "Him"(jhn1:3).
These implies that God will never speak to anybody outside of His Son,Jesus Christ.He has bounded all His Speech to man by His Son,He have made Christ the compass of all;He have nothing to say or do and He will say or do nothing,outside of His Son,"no one cometh unto the Father but by Me"(jhn14:6).
He(Christ) was creation's design,for all things were made to be a temporal and material expression of spiritual and moral realities in the Son Of
God.He is the pattern of creation,"of Him,and through Him,and unto Him,are all things"(Rom11:36).
When Jesus says;I am the Alpha and the Omega.He is saying;I am all you need,you never can have a need,you never can invent or imagine anything for which I am not sufficient.no situation can araise that exhusts me:in Me all the fullness dwells.I am the Alpha  and the Omega
Christianity Etc › The Altar(the Cross) Governs Everything by ichuka(op): 1:41pm On Sep 28, 2011
Ezekiel43:13-27.
The Altar governs everything related to the house of God.in the old testament the Altar is always a type of the Cross.It is the place of the whole burnt offering.this corresponds to hebrews chapter10,where our Lord Jesus Christ is liken to the whole burnt offering.
In the letter to the Romans,the Cross brings the whole race in Adam to end and It begins an entirely New race in Christ risen.
In the first letter to the Corinthians,the Cross is applied to the natural and canal man inside the Church.
Second letter to the Corinthians, sets,the Cross in relation to minstry.that is,ministry flows out of a broken and humbled vessel.
In Galatians,the Cross is brought down upon making Christainity into another legal system.
In Ephesians,the work of the Cross is to put the Church on heavenly ground.
In Philippians,the Cross is applied to our personal interest and pride.
The Cross delivers us from all fasle spirituality in the letter to the Colossians.
In Thessalonians,the Cross is the strenght for suffering,An inspiration unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
And in Hebrews,the Cross shows how everything is brought to Fullness and Finality.
