Proverbs 23:23 (NKJV) Buy the truth, and do not sell it, Also wisdom and instruction and understanding.
In order to buy something, you need money. According to the value of the commodity you want to buy, you need to save smaller or greater amount of money to buy it.
It was in 2004 April, when we went to Makunda, Assam, that I saw a laptop and it’s usage for the first time in my life. I developed a desire to have such an instrument with me so that I can carry it wherever I go to teach the principles about AOJ & Troop meeting (Later changed into Troop Church). I developed a desire to buy it.
At the same time, someone offered me a used laptop which I did not know how to operate. Out of my desperate need, I learned it somehow and started using it.
Earlier when I had many opportunities to own a laptop, I refused because I did not know the usage or value of it.
Only when we realize the need and value of a commodity, we start saving money to buy it, even by sacrificing some of our luxuries, comforts or even necessities.
Bible says about a man, who sold all his property to buy a piece of land which had a treasure in it.
Matthew 13:44 (NKJV) “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid; and for joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.
People (who did not know the treasure which was hidden in it) would have mocked at him. Because the properties that he sold might have been of very high value compared to the small field which he preferred to buy.
Bible is the treasury of truths.
The Lord revealed the truth of His real “Church” to “The Army of Jesus” in the past 25 years little by little . Those who knew the value of “Troop Church” came forward to sell all that they had to “buy” that truth.
Their name, relations, fame, prestige of the family, membership in the Institutional Church and all the privileges they enjoyed in it etc were some of the items they sold.
They are the ones who came forward to buy the Truth. Though it was costly, they decided to buy it, by forgoing all the comforts they enjoyed to purchase the treasure field.
Buying the Truth:
As you go on saving money required for the product, you are nearing its access to you.
For example, in order to receive the revelation of FRP Level 2 ( the Heavenly Court) I had to undergo certain experiences.
1. Experiencing God as a Judge who is waiting to pass a judgment always in favour of me
2. But I had to fulfil certain conditions like appearing in the court, presenting my case etc
3. Prayer unanswered even after writing prophetic decrees or Phophesying .
I was taken to visit the trading floor in the spirit realm very frequently in prayer to learn these lessons through many small or big life experiences. It was the required “payment” on my part to learn the “Truth” of Heavenly Court.
I came across a “Hill Horse” recently.
Once he was a leader in AOJ and was a zealous soldier. But in due course, the spirit of pride and rebellion overtook him. He started finding fault with all others . He could not get along with the other Hill Horses. He started making statement threatening others, ” I will leave AOJ and join an Institutional Church” . Because joining an IC was such a shame among Hill Horses those days!
He left AOJ leaving no trace at all. All the AOJ soldiers felt sad at this. Years passed by.
A few days ago, I met him in a meeting of AOJ, in a gift school. While introducing himself, he mentioned his name as a stranger but did not even mention about his past association with AOJ.
He had come along with a few Pastors to attend classes of AOJ on spiritual gifts. He now felt ashamed to reveal about his association with the Institutional Church Pastors. He did not even reveal that those whom he has brought were pastors. At the end of the meeting only they admitted that they were pastors and they could not understand the sessions properly because of language problem . The organizers also (though they wanted to) could not help because there were people of many languages.
Selling the Truth: Dear soldiers, satan will come to us to steal the truth which we have bought paying a huge price. We come across these days, many servants of God who have sold out the truths to satan at a very cheap price. Satan just to hide his real nature as a robber, comes to us as a salesman. He has many attractive commodities, basically of sin, all full of venom , but sugar coated. He comes to you to sell them.
Once the truth is made available to us, we should treasure it, guard it in the safest place, (in the centre portion of your heart) so that we should not loose it at any cost.
Tempests, cyclones, tornados may come, but hold on to the truth ( Troop Church & other truths which have been revealed to AOJ). Time will prove that you were right.
Do you have the same enthusiasm to start/conduct Troop Churches, Gift Schools, as on the first day you joined AOJ? Is the light of “Truths” you received in AOJ still burning in you? Is the light spreading to more people and places day by day?
If the fire is quenching slowly, you can humble yourself before the Lord and make a self examination to realize whether you have sold out any portion of the treasures to satan at any time. Try to grab it double fold.
Think of the imprudent people. They do not make proper budgets for their lives. When the expenses go beyond income, not knowing how to manage, they start to sell their property, the assets one by one, even the house & finally become debtors who go to beg from others.
Satan will always try to take us to his trading floor . He will tempt us to sell the truth ( steal from us the truth) in exchange of vain glory, vanity & things of this world.
Buy the truth, and do not sell it, Also wisdom and instruction and understanding. Proverb 23:23
