ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

DEDICATION

With a deep sense of gratitude, I bless God for the privilege of being the Author of this wonderful piece, Journey to the Higher Realm. I give special honor to my Father in the Lord, Pastor John Musa Fom; we started this journey together… He was a good coach and mentor who tutored me to maturity. With his tremendous encouragement and special support, this piece is real. He spoke of this book ages before a word in it was written, yet wasn’t here to hold it. In his blessed memory, I dedicate this book.

INTRODUCTION

For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. (Romans 8:19)

To those who dwell and operate in the Higher Realm, I often say, your wealth is not determined by the economy of this world, but by the nature of Zion.

If there is one book specifically designed by God, to usher legion into God’s Realm of Life, and propel dynamic changes and impacts in this generation, it is definitely Journey to the Higher Realm It is time for that which has been anticipated with deep groaning to be made manifest.

Realm could be viewed in different perspectives. It could be a kingdom, special field or dimension. There are two realms basically—the earthly and the heavenly realm; the course of your life depends on which of these realms is more real to you; in the life of Jesus, the heavenly realm was more of a reality. Your actual nature is defined by the nature of the realm you dwell in. Reading this book will enable you to locate and know your stand in life, and will develop and catapult you to God’s realm of life. It will motivate and lift you from the realm of believing to the realm of possessing.

To those who dwell and operate in the Higher Realm, I often say, your wealth is not determined by the economy of this world, but by the nature of Zion. Most verily, as long as you walk in the realm of this world, you are lost; as long as you see like men see, you are blind; as long as you are subject to worldly principles, you are bound. Little wonder David says, "I look up to the hills from whence cometh my help." God desires us all to dwell in the Higher Realm—in this realm, you don’t see things like the world, your speech is always seasoned, and your way of life is extra ordinary.

When God said to Abraham, As far as your eyes can see, I give you, Abraham would have been a poor man if he had gazed with his optical eyes. Abraham did not walk in the earthly realm. He was able to view beyond the natural, so he encompassed the whole world in his spirit and today the whole world is his, and as heirs, it is ours.

"And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said the kingdom of God cometh not with observation: Neither shall they say, Lo here! Or, lo there! For, behold, the kingdom of God is within you."(Luke 17:20-21).

The kingdom of God we control on this side, in the world, is not a physical place but a realm. That’s why Jesus prayed and taught us to pray thus; thy kingdom come… (Matthew 6:10).

He wasn’t saying that the earth would physically be transformed to Zion; neither was He speaking of the rapture. He was speaking of the Higher Realm. That is, He was praying and teaching us to pray that the kingdom of God will be made manifest here on earth. The moment you step into God’s kingdom here on earth, life becomes very blissful. The kingdom of God is above this world, he who dwells therein shall not live according to the elementary principles of this world, but will control and take charge of the world with authority from above.

The Higher Realm is God’s realm of Life. It is a realm without poverty, sorrow, worries, lack, amongst others. It’s a realm of possession, a place of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost. When the kingdom of God comes to you, you can’t remain the same. It transforms you… You exercise authority over the world and nature. You become an extra-ordinaryman, just like Jesus!

"Heal the sick in it and say to them, ‘the Kingdom Of God has come to you." (Luke 10:9).

Verily I say unto you, the Kingdom of God is here in our midst, it is a realm! It is very near to us, but as a result of ignorance, a lot of people live outside of it. Being conformed to the world, they are enslaved by its elementary principles. When you become knowledgeable of the Higher Realm, your life thereof is the Higher Life. The reason why Jesus successfully became a Way Maker, thereby fulfilling his mission here on earth is because He lived in the Kingdom of God here on earth. In essence, the He operated in the HIGHER REALM!

Jesus fixed back an ear that was cut off (Luke 22:50-51), He walked on water (Matthew 14:25), amongst others. It is the authority He had over nature and the worldly principles that enabled Him to do so. When you operate in the Higher Realm, you defile even the course of nature.

A Christian is born again, and by the virtue of this new birth, we are conferred with a Divine Status by which we can operate in the Higher Realm automatically, but this realm is still inaccessible until the Mystery of Identification is revealed. You’ve got to conquer the challenge of greatness, live up to your calling, and grasp the right mindset to operate in this realm.

Living the Higher Life is a thing of discovery! The Higher Life motivates you to impact your world rather than being shaped by the affairs of the world. It enables you to view life in a different perspective, whereby you realize you weren’t sent on earth to make a living but to make a difference.

We pray, may thy kingdom come, and now, the Kingdom of God is in our midst. It is my earnest desire that everyone still dwelling in the earthly realm will step up and operate in the Higher Realm, and dwelling in God’s Realm of Life, we will be moved, motivated and challenged to be successful Way Makers, and make positive impacts in this generation, after reading this book.

Chapter 1

YOUR DIVINE STATUS

There is an ego that automatically gets associated to an infant born of a King. He becomes part of the royals! Likewise, the very moment we got born-again, we were given a befitting status, divinity became our nature. Our birth confers to us a Divine Status that distinguishes us from all other. A born again man is an extra-ordinary man—Pastor Sam Bruno.

So often, I’ve spoken to people about divinity being our nature, and the most frequent reply I’ve gotten is, O common Zuriel, let’s be realistic! Whether or not they are right depends on your definition of reality. To the carnal man, reality is a life full of struggles and hardship… some people even say, "Life is not a bed of roses . . . " Well, operating in the Higher Realm presents life to be much more soothing than a bed of roses. Reality is walking in divinity, being supernatural, extraordinary, and outstanding. Reality is dwelling in the Higher Realm, and living the Higher Life!

Ever wondered why many people go through similar situations and problems in life, in which some languish, and some struggle to be released, yet others overcome with ease… There is no situation you experience that’s uncommon to man; overcoming any problem depends on how you react to it. Well, people who always overcome are people who walk in the light of their Divine Status.

It is our birth-right and heritage to always overcome. For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: . . . (1John 5:4). Being born of God is the only qualification you need to be an overcomer. Now I understand why some people overcome life without

struggles… these are people who know their Divine Status.

The only reason why a lot of people are languishing is that they would rather stick to a reality of life being full of hardships than the reality of operating according to their Divine Status. Little wonder we say to an AIDs patient, ‘God is able’, and he nods his head in grief to reply, ‘let’s face facts.’ Medically proven, the fact could be that you’ve got AIDs, but divinely revealed, the truth is, "With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible." (Matthew 19:26)

Dwelling in the Higher Realm entails a deliberate decision to seize reasoning like a mere man, and start operating like God. If you think just as the Lord thinks, and speak what the Lord speaks, you’ll have what the Lord has for you

Dwelling in the Higher Realm entails a deliberate decision to seize reasoning like a mere man, and start operating like God. If you think just as the Lord thinks, and speak what the Lord speaks, you’ll have what the Lord has for you.

Partakers of God’s Divine Nature.

Being partakers of God’s Divine Nature encapsulates everything pertaining to our Divine Status.

Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature… (1 Peter 1:4)

It is only someone who is of God’s nature that can overcome the world and dwell in God’s Realm of Life. Here, the reality of Divinity being our nature is fully portrayed.

Just as we’ve got the human nature, we also have the Divine Nature. These two defines the rules by which we operate. The human nature is the nature of an ordinary man. It is subject to sickness, natural rules, and worldly principles; whereas, the Divine nature is the nature of God. The life of Jesus here on earth threw light to that nature. It is a nature that is above science, worldly rules and natural principles. It is that nature that enabled Jesus to walk on water, fix back an ear that was cut off, change water to wine, feed 5000 men with just five loaves and two fish, amongst others. I assure you most solemnly, if indeed you operate by this Divine Nature, no sickness transmitted through blood can lay a hold on you, for you are no longer of the nature of flesh and blood, but in the nature of God. Little wonder the bible records,

Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. (John 1:13)

Do you really understand what it means to be born of God? Just as a lion cannot give birth to a cockroach, God only births gods. Every offspring inherits the nature of its Father… One thing that comes along with our status of being children of God is the nature of God. God does not get ill, so why should I?

I was used to living a limited life, until I grasped the reality of being a partaker of God’s Divine Nature. Having analyzed the life Jesus lived on earth, and comparing it to mine, I knew that I must have been underestimating myself. I knew my life did not meet up the expectation. There used to be times when I lacked a penny, but when I realized that Jesus never lacked a penny, I
