In this episode of the Gadites USA Juniors meeting, our Pastor continued the series on the subject of love, building upon the foundation established in the previous week. He reiterated that love is not self-generated but originates from the Godhead, and its true definition is found only in God, as stated in 1 John 4:16. The teaching emphasized that love is a commandment, not a suggestion, and its nature can be cultivated by acquiring the knowledge of the truth that is in Jesus.

The core of the message focused on the “gradations of love,” explaining that love has different expressions and strength levels based on relationships. Just as human relationships dictate the depth of love shown—such as the unique love between spouses compared to acquaintances—God also expresses His love differently. While God loves all men and desires their salvation, He does not share the same depth of relationship or fellowship with everyone. The Pastor highlighted that the fruit of love is giving, and the measure of love is determined by the level of relationship.

Furthermore, the teaching outlined four broad categories or gradations of love: love for all men, love unto all the saints, love of the brethren, and love of God. Love for all men, including unbelievers, is described as superficial because the relationship lacks depth. However, believers are still called to show this love through their lifestyle and conversation, drawing others to Christ. Love unto all the saints involves sharing and supporting fellow believers, regardless of denomination, while maintaining a firm stance on the doctrine of Christ.

Ultimately, the Pastor distinguished between “neighbor” and “brethren,” noting that while we are commanded to love our neighbor as ourselves, the love for brethren—those who share the same doctrine and testimony of life—requires a deeper commitment, even to the point of laying down one’s life. This deeper love, referred to as charity, involves sharing one’s very life, not just material goods. The session concluded by encouraging believers to exercise wisdom in how they measure out love, ensuring they are guided by the Holy Spirit rather than being exploited.

In this episode, we examined what it means for a man to be natural and supernatural. We learned from our pastor that you cannot engage the spiritual if you have not learned to handle the natural.

Before Adam ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, sin was outside the world of man, even though it was on earth. However, after disobeying God and eating it, sin entered the world, and greatly influenced how we see and use things in the natural. Men of old were able to use the natural things that can be seen to understand things that are unseen (Romans 1:20).

Furthermore, some of the things we have normalized in our world today were not normal in the beginning. Mastery of the natural means learning to operate it by faith, that is what makes a supernatural man. Terms like “what if”, “in case” and “but” should not be used by people of faith. We should be able to fully trust our lives in the hands of God because He would never mismanage us.

In addition we examined examples of some natural and unnatural things in our world. Some examples of natural things are: working, getting married, having children, aging etc. In contrast, some unnatual things are: laziness, hatred towards marriage, homosexuality, fornication, solitary living etc. As believers, we should be able to examine the thoughts we have and identify which is natural and not natural.

Finally, we were reminded that it is okay not to be perfect. Perfection belongs to the spiritual and can be found in God. We were reminded to always remain content, and be thankful to God for what we have.

In this episode of the sophomores brethren meeting, our Pastor explained that baptism is not just submerging into and bringing out of water, but an invention of God to bring us into the Name of the Holy Ghost, the Name of the Son, and the Name of the Father (Natures of Milk, Meat, and Strong Meat), as shown in Matthew 28:19-20.

In addition, we saw that the soul of a believer has to be introduced to different baptisms on the journey to God (salvation), and these baptisms can only be taught by those who have been commissioned for it, to help bring souls into these dispensations, as seen in Romans 10:14.

We also established that the true product of a baptism is that it prepares a soul for the next baptism that is to come. A fully matured soul in the Name of the Holy Ghost would be ready for the transition into the Name of the Son and then into the Name of the Father.

Furthermore, we saw that as believers we are called to a profession, as seen in Hebrews 3:1. Just as our natural profession requires us to learn its principles in order to develop a particular thought process, our profession as believers also requires us to learn of the Names (Natures) listed in Matthew 28:20 and Hebrews 6:1-2.

Finally, we established that baptism requires a baptizer, a medium, and one being baptized. During the new birth, the Holy Ghost baptizes our human spirit into the body of Christ, resulting in us becoming members of His body and allowing the Holy Spirit to dwell in our spirit. After this, the believer is expected to receive another baptism in which the baptizer is the Lord Jesus, the medium is the Holy Spirit, and the one being baptized is our human soul, with the aim of introducing the soul of a believer to the Name of the Holy Ghost. This Holy Ghost baptism, with the evidence of speaking in tongues, opens a path for the soul to interact with many realities in the Holy Ghost.

In this episode of the junior's brethren meeting, our Pastor introduced a series on the origin and nature of love, establishing that love is not a human idea but a divine reality proceeding from the Godhead. He emphasized that because God is love, any definition of love independent of Him is false, and we must return to the origin to understand its true essence.

We began by distinguishing love from mere emotions, feelings, or biological instincts. It was established that love is a commandment and a law; the very code by which the Godhead operates. Using John 13:34, we saw that Jesus is the only accurate standard for love, and we must be taught how to love by Him because this nature does not exist in us naturally.

In addition, we explored the covenantal and binding power of love. Through the example of David and Jonathan, we saw how love “knits” souls together, mirroring the inseparable oneness of the Father, Word, and Holy Ghost. This love is active and forceful, described in Song of Solomon as a fire that many waters cannot quench and a nature that finds its primary expression in giving.

Furthermore, we learned that love cannot be self-generated but must be shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost, as seen in Romans 5:5. Without the Holy Spirit, man only possesses natural instincts, but through the Spirit, we receive the capacity to walk in the very nature of God.

Ultimately, we saw that love is a substance meant to be cultivated and fanned into flame. According to Philippians 1:9, our love must abound more and more in knowledge and judgment. The teaching concluded by emphasizing that love grows as we learn the heart of Jesus, setting the stage for understanding the wisdom required to dispense the different manners of love.

In this episode, our pastor took an in-depth look at the biblical distinctions between man’s spirit, soul, and body. We saw that understanding this and becoming aware of it experientially is necessary to fulfill God’s purpose for man.

We began by establishing that the true definition of God is not based on what He has done. He is more than a Creator or a Helper of our needs. Rather, He is an eternal spirit. We also saw how God has a soul with which he delights or hates things. Man, who was created in God’s image, must therefore be a spirit who has a soul.

Additionally, we saw that the spirit and soul take on different roles based on their natures. The soul can be likened to a sheep that must be governed by the spirit to come into the fullness of life in God. We learned that the soul is likened to a storehouse into which all we are exposed to on a daily basis goes.

In this episode of the seniors brethren meeting, our Pastor laid out the account of creation, the purpose God has for heaven and earth, and His intentionality in everything He created. He emphasized the need to understand biblical teachings to walk in alignment with the purpose God has for us.

We began by establishing that ignorance is a soul disease that must be healed so that we don’t relate with scriptures with our own natural understanding. It was emphasized that we cannot have the life of God without healing the ignorance of our hearts, as seen in Ephesians 4:17-18, and that ignorance can only be healed through teachings.

In addition, we saw that heaven transcends a place inasmuch as it is also a geographical location (Gen 1:1). Heaven also speaks of the makeup of the beings who live in it. The earth, too, doesn’t just speak of the physical plane; it also has a spiritual plane.

Furthermore, we saw that God's design is for man to live on earth, as shown in how our earthly suit (the body) fits the earth. This is why the Earth is the most habitable place for man, rather than other planets. God wants us to be on earth because it is only on earth that man can do His will, while heaven serves as the reservoir of everything men on Earth need to do God's will.

Ultimately, this is God's intent for the earth, but what He really has in mind is the world to come, with the current heaven and the earth serving as prototypes that will eventually pass away, as seen in 2 Peter 3:10.
