Apostle Sediq x Moses, General Overseer, Christ Holy Mountain Prayer House For All People, Ikotun, Lagos, presents an insightful discussion on the profound theme of transforming souls into spirit through the divine word of God and embracing life in the spirit realm. He places particular emphasis on the significance of the blood of Jesus in this transformative process and the restoration of all that has been lost due to the fall of man. His teachings provide a profound understanding of how spiritual renewal is attainable and essential for every believer. These are excerpted from his interview with Christian Benefits magazine a Christian life in the spirit realm, the state of the nation and prophecies of future events in Nigeria.

To begin, it is fitting for me to introduce myself and provide some context. I am Apostle Moses, devoted servant of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ of Nazareth. I serve in humility and grace, dedicated to the mission of spreading the message and teachings of Jesus Christ, the Messiah. Hallelujah!

In our ministry, which can be likened to a nurturing womb, we find ourselves surrounded by miracles and testimonies of God’s grace. It truly is a space that reflects the transformation and mighty acts that the Almighty has performed, especially in this year alone. I want to take a moment to reflect on the incredible movements of God we have witnessed thus far this year. What has He done? In His boundless grace, we have received messages from the Lord that have touched our hearts deeply.

One of the most remarkable miracles we have experienced in our ministry is the profound transformation of individuals from soul to spirit. This transformative journey is not merely a metaphor; it represents a fundamental shift in how we understand our existence in relation to the divine. It stands as one of the most significant themes God has revealed to us this year.

When I speak of transforming souls into spirits, I reference the first Adam, who, according to Scripture, was a living soul. Through him, sin and death entered the world, leading to the need for redemption. In contrast, the second Adam, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, is described as a quickening spirit. It is through Him that all humanity finds hope for restoration. Jesus came to bridge the gap created by sin and to restore our true essence as spiritual beings. This transition from living merely as a soul to living as a spirit is the core of our spiritual journey. Hallelujah!

To better understand this concept, we must recognize the difference between those we might call “positive Christians” and what I might reluctantly term “negative Christians.” The former are those who are under the divine influence of the Holy Spirit, embracing the life and truths that come from the spirit. On the other hand, the latter may still be anchored in their souls, which, according to Scripture, no longer holds a rightful place in the life of a true believer. The soul, as we know, symbolizes the fallen nature of humanity, which brings forth death. However, the spirit ushers in life and renewal for those who choose to follow the path of Jesus.

John 6:63 reminds us that “it is the spirit that quickens; the flesh profits nothing.” Here, it is vital to recognize that the term “flesh” can be understood as the soul. This revelation emphasizes that the spirit is the essence of true life. Jesus has imparted wisdom to me about how to guide His people from the confines of the soul into the liberating spirit realm.

The soul, initially representative of the first Adam, remains subject to mortality. In contrast, those reborn of the spirit, the quickening spirit, enjoy eternal life. This rebirth transforms your very existence; you begin to speak with the authority of the spirit, walk in the ways of the spirit, perceive spiritual truths, and hear the whisper of the Spirit guiding you in all your endeavors.

Linking this profound transformation to the scripture that says, “As many as are led by the spirit of God, they are the children of God,” we see the importance of understanding our identity in Christ. If you are born of the spirit, you will inherently be led by the spirit. If you remain bound to the soul, your guidance will reflect that limitation.

Furthermore, let us consider the miraculous conception of Jesus, which illustrates the power of the word of God in bringing forth life. Unlike earthly births, which rely on biological processes, spiritual birth occurs solely through the spoken word of God. The story of John the Baptist’s birth required earthly unions, demonstrating the natural order. However, the incarnation of Christ was birthed through divine proclamation, initiated by an angelic announcement—illustrating the power and sovereignty of the word that transcends the earthly realm.

As we delve deeper into these lessons, may we all be encouraged to seek the spirit, embrace this divine transformation, and live out our identity as children of God filled with His Spirit, equipped to carry forth His mission and love into the world around us. The journey from soul to spirit is not just transformative; it is the essence of what it means to be truly alive in Christ. So, let us embrace this calling together—Hallelujah!
