The Kitchen Newsletter Good day, Welcome to The Kitchen, where we explore, prepare and serve the contents in the Body of the Word as the delicacies of God—to create the form of the Father on the earth, to make the earth in His likeness, and to take charge of the economic destinies of nations for God. Relax, and let's journey through the scriptures to see the Body of the Word. What if the descriptions of the body of Jesus Christ in Scripture are not merely descriptions of what John or Ezekiel saw—but windows into the invisible God? John was on Patmos when he heard a voice behind him. He turned, and what he saw was extraordinary: a figure like the Son of Man, standing among seven golden lampstands. His hair was white like wool, His eyes were like blazing fire, His feet like bronze glowing in a furnace, His voice like rushing waters, and His face like the sun in all its brilliance. John did not encounter an idea. He encountered a Person. He encountered Jesus Christ, the living Word of God, in the appearance of a man and with a body (Revelation 1:1–2, 12–17; Ezekiel 1:26). This gives us a remarkable way of reading Scripture: the Body of the Word is a revelation of the invisible God. Hebrews 1:3 calls Christ “the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being.” Paul similarly speaks of “the light of the knowledge of God’s glory” in the face of Christ (2 Corinthians 4:6). Therefore, when Scripture describes the eyes, face, feet, voice, garments, or other details of the Word, these descriptions are not empty imagery. They invite us to inquire into the Person they reveal. Consider the eyes. John says: “His eyes were like blazing fire.” — Revelation 1:14 Why blazing fire? Hebrews 12:29 tells us, “Our God is a consuming fire.” The image therefore takes us beyond the physical description of eyes. It begins to tell us something about the nature, passion, desire and activity of God. The Body of the Word becomes a language through which the invisible God makes Himself known. And this is where the subject becomes particularly provocative. The Father has a hunger. We often speak about our hunger for God. But what if Scripture also teaches us to consider the hunger of God? Isaiah speaks of the tongue of the Lord as a consuming fire (Isaiah 30:27). Jesus declares: “I am the bread that came down from heaven.” — John 6:33 And: “I am the bread of life.” — John 6:35 Then He makes the statement even more striking: “This bread is my flesh.” — John 6:51 The bread placed continually before God in the tabernacle was called the bread of the Presence (Exodus 25:30). So the Body of the Word is not merely something we study. In this revelation, the Body of the Word is the food of God—the object of the Father’s intense desire. The dining table becomes a powerful picture. Song of Solomon 7:2 speaks of a rounded goblet, blended wine and a mound of wheat. The imagery presents the Body as a place of nourishment and abundance. What if our understanding of the Body of the Word is itself part of the Father’s desire? What if the question is not merely, “How much do I know about God?” But: “What does God desire to find in me?” This takes us directly to the image of the blazing eyes. The eye is described by Jesus as the lamp of the body (Matthew 6:22). The blazing eyes of the Word therefore present another dimension of the Body: the lamp of God. A lamp searches. A lamp illuminates. A lamp reveals what is hidden. Psalm 11:5 says that the Lord examines the righteous, while Psalm 14:2 says that He looks down from heaven to see whether there is anyone who understands and seeks Him. Notice the connection. The blazing eyes are not merely looking at us. They are looking for something in us. They are looking for understanding. The Father is looking for the knowledge of the Body of the Word in the hearts and minds of His people. That changes the way we think about revelation. Psalm 119:130 says: “The unfolding of your words gives light and understanding to the simple.” The Word contains depths that must be unfolded. And when the details of the Body of the Word are unfolded, they bring light—the revelation knowledge of the Father (Psalm 119:130; 2 Corinthians 4:6). This is also why Jesus said: “These are the Scriptures that testify about me.” — John 5:39 The Scriptures are not merely information about religious subjects. They testify about a Person. The descriptions of the Body of the Word therefore become places of investigation. The eyes speak. The face speaks. The feet speak. The garments speak. The voice speaks. And through these descriptions, we begin to encounter dimensions of the Person of the Word—and consequently dimensions of the Father. The emotions of God are also revealed. Isaiah 59:17 describes God clothing Himself with zeal “as a cloak.” A garment covers and expresses the person wearing it. If the garments of God are described through Scripture, and Scripture testifies about the Word, then the imagery of God's garments becomes another doorway into understanding His Person. The Body of the Word, therefore, becomes a profound vocabulary for understanding the emotions of God. His zeal. His longing. His desire. His hunger. His compassion. His grief. His expectation. His pleasure. His intensity. These are not abstract theological categories. They are dimensions of the Person of God that Scripture progressively reveals. And who searches these depths for us? The Holy Spirit. Jesus says in John 16:13–15 that the Spirit of truth will take what belongs to Christ and make it known to us. Paul adds: “The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.” — 1 Corinthians 2:10 The Body of the Word is therefore not a closed mystery. It is a treasury to be searched. The Holy Spirit searches the deep things of God and unfolds them so that we can know the Father more precisely. This is why revelation is more than acquiring information. Revelation is discovering what is already contained in the Person of the Word. And perhaps this explains one of the great spiritual questions of our time: Why does God seem to be searching the hearts of His people? Because the Father is looking for a place where the Body of theWord can be understood. He is looking for hearts that can become tables upon which His food is received. He is looking for minds that can accommodate the revelation of His Son. He is looking for people who will not merely quote Scripture, but will allow Scripture to reveal the Person of Christ. The blazing eyes of the Word are still searching. And the question is: What are they looking for in us? Perhaps the answer is simpler—and more demanding—than we imagined: Understanding. An understanding of the Body of the Word. An understanding of the Father. An understanding deep enough to shape how we live, how we build, how we govern, how we work, and ultimately how we participate in the economic destinies of nations. The Father wants His form reproduced on the earth through people who have seen, understood and received the revelation of the Body of the Word. This is why we must return to Scripture—not merely to read it, but to unfold it. Because somewhere within the details is light. And somewhere within the light is the knowledge of the Father. And somewhere within that knowledge is the revelation of the Person of the Word. I am Omodolapo Ogunye.

So run, that ye may obtain. 1 Corinthians 9:24   READ: Proverbs 31:1-9 1  The words of king Lemuel, the prophecy that his mother taught him. 2 What, my son? and what, the son of my womb? and what, the son of my vows? 3 Give not thy strength unto women, nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings. 4 It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine; nor for princes strong drink: 5 Lest they drink, and forget the law, and pervert the judgment of any of the afflicted. 6 Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts. 7 Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more. 8 Open thy mouth for the dumb in the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction. 9 Open thy mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy.   MESSAGE The farther you want to go in life, the more you must invest in yourself. For example, if you are driving a Car with a tank full of petrol from Lagos, which is in South West Nigeria, to somewhere in Northern Nigeria, you will need to refuel your car at some point during the course of your journey. However, if you were only going to Ibadan, which is also a city in the South West of Nigeria, you wouldn't need to stop on your way to buy more petrol. Anyone who wants to go far in life must invest resources that include holiness, hard work, knowledge, and good interpersonal skills in his or her life, while avoiding unproductive habits such as binge-watching movies, scrolling aimlessly on social media, wild partying, and the like. Discipline is required to go far in life. I recall when I was a child, my mother would compel me to stay indoors and study while my friends were outdoors playing football. I used to complain a lot about it, but she insisted until it became a part of me. One time, I was at my uncle's place, where a masquerade show was taking place on the street, and everyone was outside watching the show except me. My uncle came to me and asked why I didn't go outside to watch the show, and I responded, "The fellow everyone will watch someday does not sit around watching shows." Many years later, when God had lifted me, he reminded me of that day and said, "Today, the whole world is watching you." Beloved, what you invest in yourself is what will determine your height in life. While the other captives in the king of Babylon's palace were busy dining and feasting on the king's delicacies, Daniel and his three counterparts focused on consecrating themselves to the Lord (Daniel 1:3-12). I believe that they were not the only Jews in the king's palace at that time, but they were the only ones who went on to do exploits because they invested the right resources in themselves. Child of God, if you have big dreams that you want to see come to pass, then you must pay the price to invest in yourself. You must also let go of unnecessary weights, Such as laziness and a lack of self-control, as well as impurities like sin, which can hinder you from fulfilling God's plans for your life. I pray that you will fulfil God's plans for your life, in Jesus' name.   PRAYER POINT Father, please help me to invest the right resources in my life so I can fulfil Your plans for me, in Jesus' name.   BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Jeremiah 25-27   AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A ADEBOYE   HYMN 20: I’M PRESSING ON THE UPWARD WAY 1.

My heart has no desire to stay Where doubts arise and fears dismay; Though some may dwell where these abound, My prayer, my aim, is higher ground. 3. I want to live above the world, Though Satan’s darts at me are hurled; For faith has caught the joyful sound, The song of saints on higher ground. 4. I want to scale the utmost height And catch a gleam of glory bright; But still I’ll pray till rest I’ve found, “Lord, lead me on to higher ground.”

Good morning to everyone. Grace and Peace be with you. Well, my house is nearly finished. I got the upstairs looking very good, and now I can complete the downstairs. Yes, I did do the downstairs first; however, all good things in the worldly arena must come to an end. Everything that was just hidden upstairs is now in my dining room to be sorted, reboxed in totes, and hidden away in the freshly organized shed. Should only take a couple of hours this afternoon. Then get my front room done and maybe start my office…hahahahahaha…..that is a true danger zone. Last night me and the hubby had a date night. Tried a new place to eat. The décor was good, the service very friendly and efficient; however, the food was lacking in our opinion. I will not say where we went because it was our opinion. Plenty of people were there and coming in, so it is just a matter of perspective. As we were talking this morning about different things going on in our lives; the kids coming, getting the house ready, health, appointments, daily adventures… and such … I heard got speak directly to me several times in that conversation. “I feel that a lot from you.” “Yes, I understand exactly how you feel.” “I have said that to you many times.” And my personal favorite, “Really?” All these were things I hear in my spirit, which made me step back and realize that much of what I say…He does too … to me. A friend of mine used to tell me how much they got annoyed when I would use their words against them in frustrated thoughts they had about something or someone. They wondered why I would not just take their side … I would giggle and we would end up in a bashing banter fight and all would be well. The Spirit does the exact same thing … minus the banter bashing … He takes our words, our frustrations, our doubts and shows us that He is there with us as well. I am pretty positive that I am a primary cause of migraines in the Holy Spirit. (LOL) Especially now that I am in menopause and my mood switches like a kid with a light toggle. The journeys that He gives us are specific to our personalities and strengths. I have on many occasions questioned both those motives, but in the end of each particular journey I have seen the end result and am thankful for it. In the long run, not only was I able to help someone, but I was strengthened as well. Just as I know my house will be 98 percent done today, after church, that the obstacles that I am facing will be conquered, that the frustrations that I feel will strengthen my resolve, and that any doubts that I may have on any given subject matter will dissipate … it is a matter of trusting the process, and the process is not mine, but His. Today I will go to His house. I will sit with Him. I will hear His Word. I will be fed his nourishment. I will drink of His Spirit. And … I will leave His house with an indwelling of His peace. Will you join me? Be blessed. ***Through him and for his name’s sake, we will receive grace and apostleship to call people from among all the Gentiles to the obedience that comes from faith. --Romans 1:5

The Kitchen Newsletter Good day, Welcome to The Kitchen, where we explore, prepare and serve the contents in the Body of the Word as the delicacies of God—to create the form of the Father on the earth, to make the earth in His likeness, and to take charge of the economic destinies of nations for God. Relax, and let's journey through the scriptures to see the Body of the Word. What does God look like? This question has occupied the minds of believers for generations. The Scriptures provide a profound answer: if we desire to know the invisible God, we must behold the Body of the Word. The Apostle John encountered this reality while exiled on the island of Patmos. In Revelation 1:1–3, 12–17, he turned to see the voice that was speaking with him and beheld Jesus Christ in glorious majesty. He described His hair, His eyes, His face, His voice, His hands, His feet, and His robe. Centuries earlier, Ezekiel had witnessed the same glorious Person seated upon the throne, describing Him as having "the appearance of a man" (Ezekiel 1:26–28). These two prophetic witnesses establish an important truth: The Word of God is a living Person who possesses the appearance of a man and a complete body. The Body of the Word is not merely symbolic. According to Hebrews 1:3, "The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of His being." Likewise, Colossians 2:9 declares, "For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form." When we behold the Body of the Word, we are beholding the visible image of the invisible Father. Paul reinforces this truth in 2 Corinthians 4:6: "For God, who said, 'Let light shine out of darkness,' made His light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ." The face of Christ represents the whole Body of the Word, revealing the very nature and glory of the invisible God. This means that every detailed description of Christ's Body is more than a physical observation—it is a revelation of who God is. Consider John's description of Christ's eyes: "His eyes were like blazing fire." (Revelation 1:14) At first glance, this appears to describe only His eyes. Yet Ezekiel saw the same glorious Person and described His entire form as radiant with fire (Ezekiel 1:27). The description therefore extends beyond one member to characterize the whole Person. Scripture also declares: "Our God is a consuming fire." (Hebrews 12:29) The blazing fire of the Body of the Word therefore unveils something about the invisible Father Himself. Every detail of the Body speaks. Every member reveals. Every description carries revelation. These descriptions are themselves Scriptures because they testify concerning Christ. Jesus declared: "You study the Scriptures diligently because you think that in them you have eternal life. These are the very Scriptures that testify about Me." (John 5:39) The descriptions of the Body of the Word are therefore testimonies waiting to be unfolded. Psalm 119 teaches us: "The unfolding of Your words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple." (Psalm 119:130) As these descriptions are unfolded, they produce the revelation knowledge of the Father. They illuminate His character, His nature, and His purposes. Take again the image of blazing fire. Fire communicates more than brilliance; it speaks of intensity, passion, longing, and holy desire. Isaiah describes the Lord by saying: "See, the Name of the Lord comes from afar... His lips are full of wrath, and His tongue is a consuming fire." (Isaiah 30:27) The Body of the Word, described as blazing fire, therefore reveals the Father's deep and unwavering hunger. This explains why Jesus repeatedly identified Himself as the Bread from heaven. The Bread of the Presence that continually stood before God in the Tabernacle (Exodus 25:30) ultimately pointed to the Body of the Word. Jesus declared: "I am the Bread of Life." (John 6:35) Again He said, "I am the living bread that came down from heaven." (John 6:51) The Body of the Word is therefore God's eternal Bread—the food continually before the Father. The imagery develops even further. The Body of the Word is not only God's Bread but also His dining table. Song of Solomon prophetically portrays this abundance: "Your navel is a rounded goblet that never lacks blended wine. Your waist is a mound of wheat encircled by lilies." (Song of Solomon 7:2) God's delight continually rests upon the Body of His Word. Isaiah then introduces another remarkable picture: "He put on righteousness as His breastplate... and wrapped Himself in zeal as in a cloak." (Isaiah 59:17) Zeal is presented as one of God's garments. Throughout Scripture, God's garments reveal aspects of His own Person. John writes: "On His robe and on His thigh He has this name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS." (Revelation 19:16) Even His garments proclaim His identity. If zeal is one of God's garments, then zeal reveals another dimension of the Body of the Word. What is zeal? Zeal is the visible expression of God's invisible emotions. It is the outward manifestation of His inward passions. God possesses holy longings. He experiences righteous delight. He burns with purpose. He rejoices in righteousness. He is moved by compassion. These are not abstract ideas; they are realities expressed through the Body of the Word. The Body of the Word therefore becomes God's divine encyclopedia of emotions. His emotions are stored within it. They are revealed through it. They are expressed by it. Every member of the Body becomes a container carrying another dimension of the Father's heart. His eyes like blazing fire reveal divine passion (Revelation 1:14). His face shining like the sun reveals divine glory (Revelation 1:16). His voice like rushing waters reveals divine authority and life (Revelation 1:15). His feet like glowing bronze (Revelation 1:15), His robe (Revelation 1:13), His mouth with the sharp two-edged sword (Revelation 1:16), and every other member unveil another aspect of the Father's nature. These emotions have not always been fully understood. Jesus declared: "I will open My mouth in parables; I will utter things hidden since the creation of the world." (Matthew 13:35) Among those hidden treasures are the depths of the Father's own heart. Through the revelation of the Body of the Word, these hidden realities are being brought into the light. The Holy Spirit Himself leads us into this understanding. Jesus promised: "When He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth... He will receive from Me what He will make known to you." (John 16:13–15) As we meditate upon the different descriptions of the Body of the Word, the Spirit unfolds them and reveals the emotions, purposes, wisdom, and character of the Father. Our fellowship with God therefore extends beyond learning His commandments. It is an invitation to know His heart. To understand the Father's emotions is to know Him more deeply. To unfold the Body of the Word is to discover the hidden treasures of His love, His passion, His justice, His delight, and His eternal purpose. The more we behold the Body of the Word, the more clearly the invisible Father is revealed to us. May our hearts continually hunger for this revelation until every description of the Body of the Word becomes another window into the infinite glory of God.

The Kitchen Newsletter Good day, Welcome to The Kitchen, where we explore, prepare and serve the contents in the Body of the Word as the delicacies of God—to create the form of the Father on the earth, to make the earth in His likeness, and to take charge of the economic destinies of nations for God. Relax, and let's journey through the scriptures to see the Body of the Word. What does God look like? This question has occupied the minds of believers for generations. The Scriptures provide a profound answer: if we desire to know the invisible God, we must behold the Body of the Word. The Apostle John encountered this reality while exiled on the island of Patmos. In Revelation 1:1–3, 12–17, he turned to see the voice that was speaking with him and beheld Jesus Christ in glorious majesty. He described His hair, His eyes, His face, His voice, His hands, His feet, and His robe. Centuries earlier, Ezekiel had witnessed the same glorious Person seated upon the throne, describing Him as having "the appearance of a man" (Ezekiel 1:26–28). These two prophetic witnesses establish an important truth: The Word of God is a living Person who possesses the appearance of a man and a complete body. The Body of the Word is not merely symbolic. According to Hebrews 1:3, "The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of His being." Likewise, Colossians 2:9 declares, "For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form." When we behold the Body of the Word, we are beholding the visible image of the invisible Father. Paul reinforces this truth in 2 Corinthians 4:6: "For God, who said, 'Let light shine out of darkness,' made His light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ." The face of Christ represents the whole Body of the Word, revealing the very nature and glory of the invisible God. This means that every detailed description of Christ's Body is more than a physical observation—it is a revelation of who God is. Consider John's description of Christ's eyes: "His eyes were like blazing fire." (Revelation 1:14) At first glance, this appears to describe only His eyes.
