YOUR SPIRITUAL GENOTYPE: WORTH A SCRIPTURAL CHECK AND EXAMINATION!
“. . . 8 BEWARE lest any man SPOIL you through PHILOSOPHY and VAIN DECEIT, after the TRADITION OF MEN, after the RUDIMENTS of the world, and not after Christ. 9 For in him DWELLETH all the FULNESS of the Godhead bodily . . .” Colossians 1:1-23.
Your spiritual genotype may worth a scriptural check and examination to ascertain if you may be or not be, in spiritual bondage knowingly or unknowingly. Naturally, the term GENOTYPE – is the genetic constitution of an individual organism. And in a broad sense, the term “GENOTYPE” refers to the genetic makeup of an organism – in other words, it describes an organism’s complete set of genes. And in a more narrow sense, the term can be used to refer to the alleles, or variant forms of a gene, that are carried by an organism in SHAPING UP the you to other generation especially if you are going to be in a relationship or already in one and reproduce a kind. And in terms of functions – GENOTYPE is not just only the genetic make-up of an individual organism – GENOTYPE functions as a set of INSTRUCTIONS for the GROWTH and DEVELOPMENT of your body. The word ‘genotype’ is usually used when talking about the genetics of a particular trait (like eye colour).
“Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward. 9 Whosoever TRANSGRESSETH, and ABIDETH NOT in the DOCTRINE of Christ, hath not God. He that ABIDETH IN THE DOCTRINE of Christ, he hath BOTH the Father and the Son. 10 If there come any unto you, AND BRING NOT THIS DOCTRINE, RECEIVE HIM NOT INTO YOUR HOUSE, NEITHER BID HIM GOD SPEED: 11 for he that biddeth him God speed is PARTAKER of his evil deeds” 2 John 1:8-11.
And we know that – for the good of any healthy relationships, it’s appropriate and apparent that individuals do a GENOTYPE test check to help them if such relationship worth embarking upon, because of the effect it might have on the next generation – because it serves as an indicator if there is the chance for a healthy offspring and it’d safeguard’s you too if it’s not going to be a possibility for you to have one, instead of being locked into a quagmire as a child of God in Christ Jesus, with an unnecessary PRAYERS due to deliberate negligence. And I know that many have ignorantly and foolishly ignored this – while paying the price for its effect afterwards, today and now; and I can’t imagine many that I have met to pray along with as I give counsel to young intending couples to do the needful check-up test to safeguard regrets afterwards. For FAITH toward God in Christ Jesus stead, is not stupidly but it’s wisdom – in knowledge and understanding in terms irrespective.
As pertaining to SPIRITUAL GENOTYPE – we need to come to terms to know that, as dangerously dangerous some have played down the need for GENOTYPE test check while entering a relationship, many have in same scenario, given themselves into a more SPIRITUAL bondage and confusion, that an early check-up would have saved them; however, I do know that faith toward God in Christ Jesus stead, can still save you today if you know and understand the context of this writ.
“Holding the MYSTERY OF THE FAITH in a PURE CONSCIENCE” 1 Timothy 3:9.
“And herein do I EXERCISE myself, to have always a CONSCIENCE VOID OF OFFENCE TOWARD God, and TOWARD men” Acts 24:16.
I was at my house garden yesterday doing some pruning, hedge cutting and care to the environment for appropriate reason to enjoy the spring and summer weather, then the Holy Spirit drop into my spirit the term – SPIRITUAL GENOTYPE! While brooding through this term as I have always done on freshly fresh information from the Holy Spirit, though I know the implications of GENOTYPE effect when wrongly applied – it reminds me that the trouble today in the Christian Faith, either as a denomination and with individuals in respect to many, especially in a spiritually charged incompatible relationship – it’s because of many who walked into a denominational place of worship and or entered into a Christian relationship without doing the needful; and most importantly important, some don’t know and have not seen the reason to know and are too lazy or ignorant to do the needful check-up first, if where they have called their place of worship in doing life and to live godly have a pure Christian faith-based “TENET of FAITH” belief otherwise “STATEMENT of FAITH” belief. This is very important irrespective of denominational inclinations, before engaging and bonding as such, into that denomination or relationship especially in marital relationships.
And the effect as such in many, especially the supposedly born of God in Christ Jesus stead, are today in a very seriously serious relationships trauma in terms of the divergent beliefs that’s been upheld by the individuals that makes up such relationships whilst some others are in bondage within the denominational settings; many are locked into some intermingled bylaws, creeds, ordinances , sectarianism and some form of righteousness that’s traditionalism and culturalised with dogmas that’s overlaid with unrelated contractual Scriptures to blindfold people from having an insight, foresight and oversight in the grace; and why in overtimes, some of these religious practices have become a part of acceptable practice and belief in their terms, as to the worship of God in Christ Jesus stead – while yet in contradictions there are holding forth people in bondages from their New Creation experiences in Christ Jesus stead, of which is the faith-based belief as laid out in the holy Scriptures.
And in the same scenario, some in the bond with the denominationised settings, are there held ups through marriage – they are there by married because their other partner said he’s or she’s a Christian without the full knowing of the respective beliefs “TENET/STATEMENT OF FAITH they are standing upon; and the inability to check the faith belief because of zealousness to get married without knowledge in terms, many have avoided the necessity to check on the importance of the sound faith-based belief that may affect their future difference when there’s a common challenges requiring a common beliefs to scripturally deal with it in God’s terms and scriptural context. And many are today in their relationship now pointing fingers of faults and crying out – fowl fowl, wolf wolf – when the deed of commitment and dedication is already done on a wrong footing; but there’s hope to return to the unchanging and infallible WORD of God and get the failed track back again, in scriptural context of TRUTH, if there’s a willing and obedient heart of dedication and commitment toward it together on the sound faith-based belief.
“Howbeit in VAIN do they WORSHIP me, TEACHING for DOCTRINES the COMMANDMENTS OF MEN. 8 For laying ASIDE the commandment of God, ye hold the TRADITION of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do. 9 And he said unto them, Full well ye REJECT the commandment of God, that ye may KEEP your own TRADITION . . . 13 making THE WORD of God of NONE EFFECT THROUGH YOUR TRADITION, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye” Mark 7:7-9, 13.
Today, I ask you to go and look into the overall beliefs – “TENET/STATEMENT OF FAITH” that you are standing upon and building your Christian walk with God upon; this is important and way beyond your just being born of God by looking into the accreditation of your denominational Church creed booklet or on their indoctrinated websites, to ascertain if it’s SCRIPTURALLY faith-based in their doctrinal context to that of the word of God, as to their PREACHED messages you hear across and over the board; and to ascertain if you have already been intermingled, adulterated, indoctrinated and interfaced – half baked, knowingly or unknowingly of man-made indoctrination to suit statuesque. And when you ignorantly overlooked checking up, you are as good or bad to what you agreed to believe in the belief, as if it’s of God in Christ Jesus – irrespective of where it leads you toward. You can use similar test check on your social groups or spouse relationship so that you don’t run bluntly blind in spiritual incompatibility. For to be forewarned is to be forearmed – but only for the wise to note.
I want you to know of this truth that:
IF YOU BELIEVE IN UNSCRIPTURAL CONTEXT, YOU WILL EQUALLY ACT IN FAITH IN UNSCRIPTURAL CONTEXT – FOR FAITH (as the legal and vital tender for divine transactions and medium of communication and exchange, and de facto in heavenly relationship and fellowship with the earthly) – IS ABOUT ACTING ACCORDINGLY ON WHAT YOU BELIEVE OF GOD’S WORD IN CONTEXT. Meaning, if you believe wrongly, you will act wrongly and you will have yourself to blame – and no one else.
Therefore, SELAH – PAUSE and THINK of your SPIRITUAL GENOTYPE before you let go to another.
I have known and resolved years ago while I travelled to live in places as a student and as an adult or now as a Gospel Minister, to ALWAYS do what I now term SPIRITUAL GENOTYPE – that is, to always EXAMINE as the BEREÄN Christian [Acts 17:10-13] before I am in any bond with a person or denomination and such like, in order to preserved the faith-based truth that I have come to know of God in Christ Jesus; and this has caused me to stay steadfast, unpolluted, unadulterated, with no denominational indoctrination and unmovable in the FAITH in the grace; and I know, it has cost me a lot to have come thus far to live in this grace stand and along with it’s unwavering steadfastness, which is by God’s enabling grace, mercy, love and peace. Hence, I could write the book – LIVING IN THE REALM OF REVELATION which is about living beyond doctrine and man-made tradition.
“If any man TEACH otherwise, and CONSENT not to WHOLESOME words, even the WORDS of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the DOCTRINE which is according to GODLINESS; 4 he is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, 5 perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that GAIN IS GODLINESS: from such WITHDRAW thyself. 6 But godliness with contentment is great gain” 1 Timothy 6:3-6.
“If thou put the brethren in REMEMBRANCE of these things, thou shalt be a GOOD MINISTER of Jesus Christ, NOURISHED up in the WORDS OF FAITH and of GOOD DOCTRINE, whereunto thou hast ATTAINED” 1 Timothy 4:6.
Are you Minister of the Gospel of Christ Jesus, especially as a pioneer in terms of a any denominational Christian Faith? How plain have you made available to your members the denominational ‘TENET/STATEMENT of FAITH’; there’s the need to make available the members who comes to your gatherings for the worship of God under your umbrella – so that they can READ BEFORE THEY RUN instead of RUNNING BEFORE READING, only for them to discover they are trapped in a RELIGION and RELIGIOSITY, and not in the FAITH-BASED SCRIPTURAL TRUTH toward God in Christ Jesus as written:
“. . . 2 And the Lord answered me, and said, WRITE THE VISION, and MAKE IT PLAIN upon tables, that he may RUN THAT READETH IT . . .” Habakkuk 2:1-4.
“And how I KEPT BACK NOTHING THAT WAS PROFITABLE UNTO YOU, but have SHEWED you, and have TAUGHT you publickly, and from house to house, 21 testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, REPENTANCE TOWARD God, and FAITH TOWARD our Lord Jesus Christ” Acts 20:20-21.
It’s an utmost imperative as Gospel Minister’s that are set to lead the congregation of God’s precious people and to feed them healthily, that we ensure and assure all, that the foundation of the Faith upon which we are conveying God’s WORD in respective denomination, it’s not a religious grandstands but a righteous grandstands – that is SCRIPTURALLY proven without adulteration and counterfeit and confusion, so that any can easily access and be founded and grounded in the faith of our saviour and Lord Christ Jesus. Amen. [Number 27:15-17; Jeremiah 3:15; John 21:15-17; 1 Corinthians 14:33; Psalms 11:3; 1 Corinthians 3:9-11; Luke 6:47-49]
It’s my earnest PRAYERS that God will help you as He build you up by His WORD, that you make it a personal responsibility and accountability in principle, to continually look up into the WORD of God for your spiritual healthy living in order not to have a cause to blame any for your negligence, ignorance, stupidity and foolishness, when you find yourself in a NEW place to live and need to find a place of INGATHERING of the saints in order to worship; and also, when you are considering a healthy relationship with someone, to look inward and to ask basic questions to safeguard that relationship when the challenges of times comes, you can be on the same page to deal with it in same SCRIPTURAL context of FAITH toward God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen as enjoined in Acts 20:32.
I hope as you see the importance of assurance for insurance in the natural GENOTYPE, you might see the spiritual implications too same like scenario, in always taking a SPIRITUAL GENOTYPE check, as a very vital necessity, in your walk and work of faith toward God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
