Religion / Having The CONSCIOUSNESS Of Christ(part 2) : by PstChrisAmadi: 5:23pm On Sep 30, 2020
That I may know Him, and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being made conformable unto His death (Phil. 3:10).

Main Bible Refs. : Eph. 3:14-21; Phil. 3:7-14).

Christ's Consciousness is the highest spiritual attainment in this life, and it is the only right way to know God. To be Christ conscious is to be completely born again. It is to be fully and truly transformed, and to put on Christ's nature or the nature of God or heavenly nature.

To be Christ conscious is to be heavenly minded, and to always have the fear of God. This would subsequently guide one to be careful in one's speeches and actions, because of the awareness that God's presence is in all places.

But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of Him that created him (Col. 3:8-10).

To be Christ conscious is to avoid sin and follow the path of holiness and righteousness, because you know that God is holy.
But as He which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation (conduct); Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy (1Peter 1:15-16).

To be Christ conscious is to have the full understanding that the Kingdom of God is Christ-based. The Lord Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, and Life (Jn. 14:6). We must look up to Him because, He is the author and finisher of our faith (Heb. 12:2). Those who make references to the Law and Moses, or Elijah or even the mistakes of Peter and Paul, have not fully realized Christ. This is very serious.

To be Christ conscious is to be filled with the quest and burden to do the will of God or to discover more about God, like Paul did. In our opening scripture, Phil. 3:10, the Apostle Paul was burdened to know more about God.

At the initial stage of his calling, Paul's concern was what to do for the Lord.
And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the bricks. And he trembling and astonished said, Lord what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do (Acts 9:5-6).

To be Christ conscious is to be filled with His fullness, mystery, grace and power.

To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory (Col. 1:27).

If we are Christ-conscious, things would be at our command, as the Lord Jesus Christ is Lord over all things.

To be Christ conscious is to live with heaven in focus or view.

If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with Him in glory (Col. 3:1-4).


God's original plan has always been that man should be in dominion. Through the Lord Jesus Christ, that original plan of God has been restored. In Christ we have God's abounding grace to do all things. Even Satan is subject to us through the name of Jesus Christ. Arise and lord it over the issues of life.

And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name (Luke 10:17).

What is your level of Christ's Consciousness? Many are seeking to know God outside of Christ. That is an adventure in futility. Jesus Christ is all in all. God bless you.
Religion / Having The CONSCIOUSNESS Of CHRIST by PstChrisAmadi: 3:19pm On Sep 27, 2020
MAIN BIBLE REFERENCE: (Eph. 3:14-21; Phil. 3:7-14)

That I may know Him, and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being made conformable unto His death (Phil. 3:10).

Christ consciousness are of various dimensions:

1) The first dimension is to believe in Jesus Christ, and also accept Him as Lord and Saviour, ie to be fully born again. The person now belongs to Him, and is seated with Him in heavenly places, according to the Bible. The person is also a joint heir of the Father with Christ (Eph. 2:6; Rom. 8:17).

2) The second dimension is to strive to know and understand the Lord's ways, through His word, as to live for Him in full obedience and compliance to His principles. Don't forget that the Bible says that this is what makes one a real disciple of the Lord (John 8:30-31).

3) The third dimension is to be filled with the grace, power and fullness of the Lord Jesus Christ (John 1:16-17). This is to live at His level of spirituality in love, mercy, forgiveness, goodness, knowledge and power. At this level, one abhors sentiments, selfishness, jealousy, rudeness, greed, lust, anger, and all attractions to the flesh and evil. At this level, one is not easily moved by the negative actions of people.

At this level too, one is not afraid of Satan, his demons and collaborators. The glories and the powers of heaven is experienced by man, at this level.
And of His fullness have all we received, and grace for grace. For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ (John 1:16-17).

4) The fourth dimension is the main reason for today's discourse. This is the condition of living on a daily basis with the awareness and complete understanding that the presence of God is every where.
The eyes of the Lord are in every place, beholding the evil and the good (Prov. 15:3).

The scripture above says that the Lord Jesus Christ or God is every where looking at us, and He knows our thoughts, speeches and actions. This presupposes that nobody can hide from Him, and that nobody can escape His judgment. If everyone of us would come to this realization, then evil and wickedness would cease.

Then both the Church leaders and members, the politicians, the elites, the traditional rulers, husbands and wives, the youths and children, and everyone would be guided in speech and actions, because there would be due reward for our actions and words. And, of course, we know that God does not respect persons, and He is never partial (Acts 10:34-35).

The Bible further says,
For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them (Matt. 18:20).
This talks about the manifest presence of God. God is every where, but He manifests more predictably where people gather in His name. But how much of these manifestations do we have, is conditioned by our relationship with Him.

If we have the level of Christ's Consciousness of fully knowing Him, and walking with the realization that He is every where, and endeavouring to please Him to the best of our abilities, we would manifest like the Lord Jesus Christ did.

And He that sent me is with me : the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please Him (John 8:29).


The Apostle Paul lived with the full understanding of Christ's mysteries and his level of Christ's Consciousness opened doors of miracles for him.

Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ (Eph. 3:14).

It is very good to be zealous, but let your zeal be backed up by the proper knowledge and understanding of the word of God, and your life patterned in His perfect will. May we not forget that, it is those who do the will of God, that will end up in God's Kingdom. What is your level of Christ's Consciousness? The series continues. God bless you.

Religion / THE POWER Of Prayer by PstChrisAmadi: 3:10pm On Jun 13, 2020
The New Life In Christ:
The Power Of Prayer (Luke 18:1- 8 ):


There is a common saying that prayer changes things. That fact can never be over emphasized. But unfortunately, it is one area of God's service that has not been fully harnessed by the Church.

Both in old times and in the Apostolic era the power of prayer was one effective weapon at the disposal of people. The song writer says what needless pain we bear because we do not carry our problems to God in prayer. If the Church can rise up in unity to pray, there would be changes in our society.

So, instead of talking and criticizing, we should pray. Instead of calling for people to purchase arms for war, we should pray. Instead of being afraid and running helter skelter, we should pray. In cases of Pandemics, Misrule, Marginalization, Persecutions, Problems, Attacks, Denials and Manipulations, we have the weapon of prayer as our anchor.

In the referenced scripture, the Lord Jesus said we should not faint, but that we should pray persistently and perseveringly, like that widow, until we have our victory. Not fainting there means, don't be afraid, don't be weak and don't give up.

[b]And He spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray and not to faint (Luke 18::1). [/b]

Nehemiah prayed and he had open doors to rebuild the falling walls of Jerusalem. King Jehoshaphat and his people prayed and they stopped the invasion of the enemies. Esther and Mordecai and their people prayed and they upturned the vindictive verdict of Haman. Hezekiah prayed and he was healed. Daniel had revelations, promotions and deliverances because of his prayer life. The Church in Jerusalem prayed and Peter was miraculously released from prison.

What about me and you? What effort are we making in this regard? Remember that this is one of the questions we shall answer before God in the end. Why don't we start now to pray. God is still answering prayers. God bless you.
