Dearly Beloved Brethen of the Age of the Reign of Life.
You know it's easy to hear so many revelations and get used to them and truly understand them as the spirit giveth understanding and feel good about hearing the truth and bask in the Euphoria of it.
And then when you hear about milk of the word, you can easily feel like Oh... I must have passed this level! (I didn't say you haven't 🙃)
It seems mere... Basic... Ordinary
But have you ever been in that position where something that was like a tall commandment for you which you're still trusting God to keep, and then you hear during a teaching and see proofs in Scripture where that particular thing was wrought in men by pure milk of the Word???
And you're like... Really???
God abeg 🤲😩
With all my revelation...
I stand to acknowledge the power and potency in the sincere milk of the Word!
In Matt. 5:18 Jesus affirms that no jot nor tittle of the Word of God would pass away before coming to fulfillment!
The Milk of the Word is a proceeding out of the mouth of the Lord which when it is sourced from everlasting light, is able to make much power available!!!
Pst Dimeji Elugbadebo made a striking statement during singles rendezvous and I quote: "Faith in milk is supposed to separate a man from confidence in the natural". You'd agree with me that it takes lot of power to do that.
So until we begin to rightly discern the allocation of the milk we might not be able to access the power it is supposed to deliver to us. So while we would not tabernacle with the milk of the Word, we would also not overlook it!
While we would pay attention to the path to Eternal life that God is revealing and hear all the tall revelations, we would also discern rightly and not despise what God has put in the Milk of the Word to do in us.
It is an important part of the gospel on which the whole building would rest. Our ability to journey well in meat and even strong meat is by how much of milk of the Word we have used (not just the one we've heard).
I bless God for the restoration of the content of the pure milk of the word to the church again🙌. I'm still waiting and expectant for the Lord to once again open up the details of what the early church were taught as the apostles doctrine.
The Psalmist said in
Psalms 19:13," Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression."
I now see that it is being presumptuous and a great transgression to despise the milk of the Word!
Hei... God😩🤲
We must not allow the privilege of hearing great revelations make us commit this great transgression.
Romans 12:3 says "For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.
God knows most perfectly what is lacking in the building of every man and that is why he wants to supply it by taking us back to milk from time to time. We must be humble enough to pay attention when the Lord is turning our attention to seemingly simple things .
It is the same Mouth that is speaking when you're hearing the Servant and the Two Prophets and also when you hear about how you should be a student of scripture or how you should pray aloud until you can hear what you're saying.
It is the same Lord!
Do not despise it!!!
Shalom Brethren ❤️

The simplicity of the word is not necessarily in the ambiguity of words used to communicate them, but in the demands(will) that it requires. Pride is a major hindrance to profiting with the word, we must approach every dispensation of the word with reverence and meekness because they are not the words or wisdom of men. Thanks @Abbie for this, I was blessed.
🙏
It is presumptuous to despise the milk of the Word... I hear that.
