Genesis 6:8-9 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD. 9 This is the genealogy of Noah. Noah was a just man, perfect in his generations. Noah walked with God. 10 And Noah begot three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

GRACE IN CHRIST JESUS

In Genesis Chapter 6 verse 8, the bible gives insight into a just and righteous man named Noah who found grace in the sight of the Lord. He walked by faith with God and was seen as perfect in His generation. In this present day, to attain to this level of grace and perfection before God, all men have to lay down their lives for the Christ to reign in them. Remember, according to the mind of God, in this day Christ is the just one, He is the one beloved of God, he is also the one sealed with the approval of God the Father (JOHN 6:27). From the writings in the Old Testament, God had announced of His coming through the Prophets, saying that all men should listen to Him (DEUTERONOMY 18:15), that same voice thundered on the mount of transfiguration saying "this is my beloved son hear Him" (MARK 9:7). The Lord Jesus Christ was revealed from heaven to deliver man from the jaws of destruction into a place of safety where we can live in the fullness of His bless-ings. He came to save man who perishes in Adam by removing the barriers of our human existence that has separated us from the knowledge of the Love of God. There is absolutely no other name by which men can be saved apart from the name of Jesus [Acts 4:11-12]. While admonishing the Hebrews, Paul wondered aloud that how can they neglect such a great salvation (HEBREWS 2:3-4), He was trying to convince the Hebrew to remain firm in the faith by obeying the gospel of the Lord Jesus which is God’s only grace extended to mankind.

In the same way the Family of Noah were saved due o the um-brella of grace over Noah, so are we saved as we enter into the Family of Christ. All we need to do is to deny our false sense of

THE SECRETS OF NOAH’S TESTMONY 31


self and be united in the knowledge of the true one who is the Christ; this is the only way by which we can be saved from emi-nent destruction that is upon all flesh. In Christ we have forgive-ness, mercy, redemption from death and imputed righteousness before God. Once we can perceive the grace of God in Christ Je-sus, accept the workings of the Cross and we obey His voice unto conformation unto His only begotten son, we are covered under the shadow of His wings. The Lord sees the righteousness of Chr-ist in us as we follow the Lord Jesus faithfully, and we are counted worthy, perfect and just in the sight of the Lord. Our justification is by faith in His son, not by works [1 John 5:4]. No mortal man can ever enter into God’s presence because of His sense of unwor-thiness derived from a sin consciousness, but we who are the house of faith enter in with boldness because of our faith in the blood of Jesus which intercedes eternally on our behalf before the Father [Hebrews 12:22-24, Hebrews 10:15-22].

To come under the umbrella of the grace that is Christ Jesus the foundation is simply of faith in the blood. Many people out there are never able to comprehend the fact that their sins have been forgiven, neither are they able to comprehend the fact that God’s love has separated our sins far away from us as the east is from the west, which talks of infinitely. Upon this foundation of love, for-giveness and imputed righteousness we work out our salvation un-to eternal life. Comprehension of this gift of righteousness comes by revelation from above, that comprehension it’s is the gift from God.

NOAH’S REVELATION FROM ABOVE

Having this covering of grace, Noah received word from the Lord on His next move to save Him and His household from impend-ing destruction of the wicked.

Genesis 6:11-22 The earth also was corrupt before, and the earth was filled with violence. 12 So God looked upon the



earth, and indeed it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth. 13 And God said to Noah, "The end of all flesh has come before Me, for the earth is filled with vi-olence through them; and behold, I will destroy them with the earth. 14 "Make yourself an ark of gopherwood; make rooms in the ark, and cover it inside and outside with pitch. 15 And this is how you shall make it: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, its width fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits. 16 You shall make a window for the ark, and you shall finish it to a cubit from above; and set the door of the ark in its side. You shall make it with lower, second, and third decks. 17 And behold, I Myself am bringing flood-waters on the earth, to destroy from under heaven all flesh in which is the breath of life; everything that is on the earth shall die. 18 But I will establish My covenant with you; and you shall go into the ark--you, your sons, your wife, and your sons' wives with you. 19 And of every living thing of all flesh you shall bring two of every sort into the ark, to keep them alive with you; they shall be male and female.

Noah was directed by the Lord to build an ark of wood tarred inside and outwardly with pitch, it was to have three levels. It was very big, big enough to carry lots of male and female pairs of the animals in the world at that time, so we can imagine the resources put into the project both physically and materially. Never bother about going into the details of this story in terms of calculating whether this project was possible or not, what matters is the spiri-tual content in this story, however, bear in mind that those men of old were much stronger than the men you have now.

Noah saw by the eyes of faith that this project was worth it all, He saw by the eyes of faith that He was to be taken into a new or-der that was after the righteousness and peace in the glory of God. We can imagine how they must have mocked Him and wondered



out aloud if He was mad or something. Imagine preaching a gospel of coming floods and then building the ark alongside, it was a demonstration of pure faith. This calls for persistence and continu-ity on the part of those who receive this message by inspiration from the Father and understand it. Never mind those who think they are prospering on in gaining this world, never mind those who isolate you and refuse to hear your testimony concerning God's salvation. Be patient in applying the word by faith in your life and in due season you will be exalted.

Only those who are of the spiritual lineage of Abraham will be able to perceive the call of the Lord to leave aside the vanities of this world unto a new world order in a City whose creator is God. As they set forth seeking this city they are admonished not to grow weary of men who do not have this same revelation that they have; in a little while they will look for those who misunderstand and persecute them and will not find them.

Isaiah 51:1 Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteous-ness, ye that seek the LORD: look unto the rock whence ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye are digged. 2 Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him. 3 For the LORD shall comfort Zion: he will comfort allher waste places; and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the LORD; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melo-dy. ---------------7 Hearken unto me, ye that know righteous-ness, the people in whose heart is my law; fear ye not the re-proach of men, neither be ye afraid of their revilings. 8 For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool: but my righteousness shall be for ever, and my salvation from generation to generation.



Without faith we cannot please God and therefore go on to inhe-rit the promise of glory and rest. Any one who receives this word has to guard it jealously so that it is not lost to the darkness of this vain world. We should never let the seed of faith be choked up by the deceitfulness of riches neither should it be choked up by the persecution and contradiction you might suffer by those who do not have a revelation of the glorious age to come. The vision may tarry one month or a year or five years, maybe even twenty years but remain fixed on it; it will come to pass.

Likewise today the message is going out to all peoples of the earth, telling them of destruction and misery that awaits all those who do not obey the Gospel and enter the true eternal ark of God. God has spoken through His Son in flesh form, He has spoken through His ministers, and He has spoken through His spirit by revelations and signs and wonders. He is speaking of the very need to escape the judgment that is coming upon the face of the earth. Paul through His letters admonished us to labor and to enter into this place of rest in Christ, because His wrath will be hard on those who reject the eternal Gospel.

There remains a true ark today, that ark that Noah built is a sha-dow of the true ark of God that is eternal in the heavens. Remem-ber that the spirit manipulated peoples, nations, tongues to create parable-like scenes that point to the great salvation which God has reserved for mankind. Today there remains a true ark greater than that of Noah because this true ark is able to save both body and soul unlike that of Noah which saved just His flesh body for a moment. There also is the one greater than Noah who has the keys to the door of the ark. The true eternal and greater Noah is Christ who preached through Jesus and is still speaking today and will keep on speaking unto generations to come.



HOW THE WORD COMES TO US TODAY

In the same way the word came to Noah in the form of a dream or inwards revelation, that same word comes to us today by inspi-ration from the Father of lights. It initially comes as a word reveal-ing to us something hidden on the inside of us, which is the Christ, the son of the living God. “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son that whomsoever believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life”. God gives His only begotten son to us in the form of imparted knowledge which provokes an awa-kening in the reality of ourselves being the begotten of God.

Yes, this heaven and earth will pass away and all that dwell in it will perish in like manner but the inner man known as the Christ will never taste corruption, He remains eternally. The Christ within is the holy, true and righteous identity on the inside of all men, it is the true form in which we were all generated by the Father. No man can ever get this revelation except it is given to Him from above; this is the free gift of God.

Even as the powers of darkness and death comes like a flood and destroys all flesh, there is a people who will never taste death nor will they continue in the hellish state of anguish of soul which men of this world are subjected to. Those who will not taste of the death are those who get the revelation of the son of God and build upon it. This revelation is non other than the Christ within, the hope of glory [Colossians 1:27]. It is the revelation of this lost identity that catapults us into the safety of the Father’s bosom.

When the Apostle Peter caught a revelation of who Jesus was, thus declaring, “you are Christ the Son of the living God”, Jesus de-clared that flesh and blood had not revealed it to Peter by His Fa-ther in heaven.

Matthew 16:16-19 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou



art the Christ, the Son of the living God. 17 And Jesus ans-wered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Fa-ther which is in heaven. 18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. 19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and what-soever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

We can clearly see from Matthew 16:16-19, that this vital piece of revelation from the Father is the rock or foundation upon which the true eternal and unmovable Church of God is to be built. It is not a revelation of a flesh Jesus in the sky, but a revela-tion of us as the anointed sons of the living God. This revelation brings to light our divine nature in the likeness of God, and there-fore act’s as the precious key that will liberate us from the grip of the defiled corrupt nature that we have lived with in the past.

Like we all know the foundation of a house is in no way the house, the house must be built upon it. We must labor and work our salvation with fear and trembling so that we are not found wanting before the Lord. Just like Noah labored for years to enter His rest, we should labor in the Faith of our Lord Jesus for a sea-son.

Philippians 2:12-13 Therefore, my beloved, as you have al-ways obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling;

Hebrews 11:7 By faith Noah, being divinely warned of things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark



for the saving of his household, by which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness which is ac-cording to faith.

Every man who can perceive the voice of the Lord should strive to enter the open door into the kingdom of our Lord God by ap-plying the incorruptible word of God unto conformation into the image of the son on the inside.

God in His wisdom has furnished every son called to glory with every good tool with which they can build up their ark in Christ [2Peter 1:3]. He sends His deep word by His spirit, all with the aim of causing the child of God to increase in the knowledge of His divine nature in Christ Jesus. Therefore day and night we are to progress into the immaculate divine image of the Son.

Like Peter admonishes we should progress from glory to glory in Christ with all diligence by continuously adding virtue to our faith, knowledge to virtue, temperance to knowledge, patience to tem-perance, godliness to patience, brotherly kindness to patience and charity to brotherly kindness. There has no be a continuity and progress, no room for retrogression or falling back to the old igno-rant identity after the flesh in which we once lived.

2Peter 1:5-11 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; 6 And to know-ledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to pa-tience godliness; 7 And to godliness brotherly kindness; andto brotherly kindness charity. 8 For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.



10 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall: 11 For so an entrance shall be ministered un-to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

If we indeed continue in this doctrine we will know that we are in Him and we will discover ourselves within the walls of God’s kingdom of power, peace and joy.

NEED FOR WATCHFULNESS

On hearing the message from the Lord every Child of God should be moved with this Godly fear that Noah demonstrated and work out His or Her salvation by faith. God has furnished us with His spirit and His word as tools to freely use in our quest for the glory. If anyone has heard this call before and has waxed cold, this is another call to repentance from dead works. The seeker of God should keep Himself in the revelation of Christ and conti-nuously pray that His heart is not hardened but stayed on the truth of God’s kingdom. There should be a continuous stirring up in the faith not allowing ourselves to sleep and be drunken by the out-ward activities of this world.

In the days of Noah the people were carried away with their earthly activities until Noah entered the ark and the floods came [Matthew 24.38]. In likewise manner, while the world is partying, eating, drinking, marrying and given themselves into marriage, every one called to glory should occupy His or Herself with things that are above where Christ dwells, things that pertain to life and peace in the ages to come as Noah did in His time. If people in the days of Noah were still enough to hear what Noah was saying, they



would have probably been saved too, after all if animals were saved, how much more the souls of men.

The trend of the mortal man is to continuously unite Himself to the temporary vain systems of things that pertain to this material world because He thinks he will exist forever. The spirit of this world pushes man to seek to continuously gain this material world at the expense of the knowledge of God. The delusion in it all is that the unwise man is destroyed in His foolishness; as Jesus would ask, “What will it profit a man to gain this whole world and lose His soul”. I can translate his to mean, “What shall it profit a man if he conforms Himself to a flesh and blood identity, only to lose His eternal inheritance in God’s kingdom for the vanities of this material world”. Every child of God is admo-nished to leave aside the vanities of this world system as Noah left all; He left things like His Family concepts, His ambitions and oth-er distractions to concentrate on the thing that pertains to life , true riches and a new world order in God.

Our salvation works by faith no more are we going to see a nei-ther physical ark nor are we going to see a flesh Jesus. We see the place of eternal safety by faith; we see and perceive it by the eye of the spirit, embrace it and walk into it. Our faith comes by how much we are able to listen to the spirit in silence; as long as a man is carried away with the deceitfulness of the activities of the dead in this material world He will find it difficult to hear the voice of the Spirit. Mind how you hear, the more we remain still and listen to the spirit on the inside of us the more we are granted entrance into the ark unto the safety of the Lord. Like Paul would say let us leave aside the things that easily distract us and run this race with patience, knowing that we will reap the unlimited glory of God [Hebrews 12:1].
