The Order of Melchizedek

There are times in life when Christians try to do certain things but find themselves coming short of their target (God’s best for them). Some Christians might even be tempted to think a witch is at work because often times believers fail to take cognizance of laws at work in their lives.

God makes us to understand that things don’t just happen on the face of the earth; there are laws (both physical and spiritual) that govern everything, and it is important for believers to realize the laws at work in their lives at every point in time.

As a Christians, being sensitive enough to determine what laws are at in work in our lives (for the purpose of mastering them) is the hallmark of spiritual maturity. If you don’t master these laws or change them for the better you will continue to come short of God’s plan for your life.

Once something becomes a law it stays forever and cannot be altered. And because sin and death is a law; it is constant, universal and everywhere. However, Christ introduced the law of life which has the power to set us free from the law of sin and death. Rom 8:1

However, the fact that He made us free does not mean that the law of sin and death no longer exists. The law of sin and death cannot be destroyed or manipulated but can be countered as long as we embrace the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus.  

The coming of our Lord Jesus Christ was a new law, and Christ did what the prior laws could not do by embracing the law of life.

The major hindrance to embracing the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus is working in the flesh. If you have been operating under the law of the spirit in Christ Jesus and you suddenly start to work in the flesh; the flesh will weaken the law of the spirit.

The flesh (when introduced) has a way of weakening laws and because of that God sent Jesus. And what God did through Jesus was to make the word to become flesh. What that meant was that Jesus became flesh, and the flesh did not limit His divinity. When we are not careful we allow the flesh to limit the operation of the spirit in our lives to extent that we carry great stuff on our inside but do not know how to make the word become flesh.

God allowed Jesus to be a man just like us but also gave Him capacity to deal with the flesh to the extent that flesh could not weaken His expression of God. This is the mystery of Christianity in that Christ was born as a baby and grew for thirty years without doing any miracle. However, on the day He came out of the baptism of Jordan to become the Son of God, and from that point he has been carrying the fullness of God bodily.

The question then is what is in your spirit, and how do you bring it out?

How can the word become flesh?

How can the word become engineering, IT, Law, Consulting, Medicine etc.?

How do we get to a point that the flesh does not limit the expression of what we carry?

There is only one law in the universe that is responsible for that and that is the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus. When you operate under this law you are made free from the law of sin and death. You also begin to do what other laws cannot do.

As believers we are a privileged set of people because we have our roots in Jesus even though we are often not conscious of that fact. Even those who heard Jesus talk while He was on earth were amazed at wisdom He displayed and wondered where He got it from.

Imagine God telling you that you are going to be the next significant thing in your field but you don’t know how translate the spiritual endowments into market place virtues.

God shows us through Jesus that spiritual endowments can be translated into their physical forms.

In Hebrews 7, the bible makes us to understand that we are called to be kings of righteousness and peace. On the basis of righteousness, Melchizedek became king, and we are made to understand that righteousness is so powerful and has the potential to exalt a nation. So when you say you are the righteousness of Christ Jesus in law it means you are the king of law.

While righteousness exalts, the law of sin reproaches. If in your profession you are bringing forth reproaches, it means you under the law of sin and death and will most likely fall short of God’s expectations. If you are working in righteousness with respect to your profession, in no time you will be exalted; you will continue to get better until you possibly become number 1 in the field.

So in order to change the law, God sent Jesus and He came according to the order of Melchizedek. Through this move, God shows us that the spiritual endowments we carry can be translated into their physical, material, economic, social, political and academic coefficients or equivalents. The hallmark of Christianity is the ability to take this spiritual endowment and do something executive with them. Heb 7:14

Brethren, it is time for your priesthood to change; it is time to embrace the priesthood of Melchizedek, and watch yourself operate in areas that had previously been exclusive and not available to you. This order allows you to cross fields and also to create new fields. Inaction is not an option; if you don’t take advantage of spiritual endowments, God will allow other people to cross over to make use of the spiritual endowments.

You will succeed in Jesus name!
