  Speaker 1: With Apostle Fermi Lazarus, every minute counts as you listen attentively.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: We give you all the praise. In Jesus' mighty name,
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: we have prayed. So let's trace from the very beginning.
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: Why did Jesus come in the first place? Why was
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: it necessary for him to come and die? Turn your
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: Bibles to the book of Romans chapter number 3. Romans
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: chapter number 3. If you are there, say Amen. I'll
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: start the reading from verse 10. Romans chapter number 3
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: from verse 10. This is the basis. The basics of
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: the gospel. That we have received. It said as it
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: is written. There is none righteous. No not one. There
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: is none that understands. There is none that seek God.
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: They are all gone out of the way. They are
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: all together become unprofitable. There is none that does good.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: No not one. Their truth is an open sepulcher. With
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: their tongue. They have used deceit.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: The poison of hasp is under their lips, whose mouth
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: is full of cursing and bitterness. Their feet are swift
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: to shed blood. Destruction and misery are in their ways.
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: And the way of peace have they not known? There
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: is no fear of God.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: In their eyes.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: Let me jump a bit to verse 21 just for
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: the sake of time. But now the righteousness of God
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: and prophet, even the righteousness of God, which is by
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: faith of Jesus Christ to all and on all them
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: that believe.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: For there is no difference.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: For all have sinned and come short of the glory
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: of God, being justified freely by his grace through the
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: redemption that is in Christ Jesus.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Whom God has set forth.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: To be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: past through the forbearance of God.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: Now, as we start reading Romans 3, when you read
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: there is none that is righteous, there is none that
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: seeks God, there is none, they've all become unprofitable.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: That is describing our state without Christ. Amen.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: I'd like to give very simple illustrations. Can I have
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: three men, please? Let's give them a big hand.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: Okay. Thank you. Can I have one to my right?
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: Thank you. And the two, please come closer. Same arrangement.
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: Something had happened. Please pay very keen attention. Long before
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: man Was ever created. There was a being.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: In heaven. Called Lucifer. Luciferian. Are you with me? Are
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: you sure? Why are you wearing black? To compliment the illustration. Fantastic.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: God knows that it is today. So this guy. Decided.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: That he wants to be like God. He said he
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: wants to take his seat and be like the Most High.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: And he was able to lure a very large.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: Number of angels. So, the Bible said there was no
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: place found for him in heaven. So he fell. Over time,
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: God came.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: And in Genesis 1 verse 26, the Bible said, God said,
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: let us make man In our own image and after
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: our likeness. Let them have dominion over the fish of
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: the sea, over the bird of the fowl of the hair,
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: and every creeping thing, the cattle of the field, and
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: every creeping thing that creeps upon the face of the earth.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: So this is man. In whose image did God make
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: this guy?
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: In his own image. What did this guy want to get?
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: He wanted to be like God. What this guy couldn't
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: get is what God gave this guy.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: Are you with me?
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: Now, there was hot jealousy between this guy and this guy.
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: To see a being wouldn't have to labor to be
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: like God. He was made to be like God before
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: he could make a choice. Why should it be? And
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: this guy decided, I am going to destroy everything God
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: intends to see in him. I will make sure that
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: this guy will never be on the side of God. Rather,
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: he will be on my side. So, in the book
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: of Genesis chapter number 3, when Eve, please follow the
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: illustration carefully, was left alone in the garden, the Bible
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: said the serpent came, he deceived her.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: Okay? The serpent did what? Deceived her. Okay? Paul, writing
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: Epistle to Timothy, said.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: The man was not deceived, but the woman being deceived
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: was in transgression.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: So when, pay attention to this. So, when Eve was
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: deceived by the devil, this guy came, Adam.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: He saw that Eve had eaten what God said they
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: should not eat, and he knew that she will die. So,
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: The fall of Eve was deception. The fall of Adam
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: was a choice. At this point, he preferred to.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: Die with the bride.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: So in making that decision, man entered transgression and the
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: both of them came to the side of the devil.
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: The issue with this illustration is not the fall of Adam.
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: But the fall of this guy.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: You know why?
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: Because when he fell, we're all still in his loins.
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: If we want to take a bit of time, I
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: would have loved to tell you something about the timing
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: of temptation. The devil made sure that the temptation could
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: not be forever. It must be between the time frame
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: before man produced temptation. Because if he had produced in
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: the righteous state, he has a righteous seed. The damnation
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: will be to him alone, but the seed can continue. So,
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: when he sinned, we all sinned. For all have sinned
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: and come short of the glory of God.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: How many people sinned? All. Where were we when he sinned?
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: We were in his loins. Are you with me now?
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: Out of true one man's disobedience, death entered the world.
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: Sin entered the world and death through sin So, we
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: all sinned. And years went by. The issue with this
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: thing is that it doesn't matter the man that came
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: from Moses to David to Abraham to all of them.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: As long as they came in this package before.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: Christ, they were sinners. What did I say? They were
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: all sinners. Because Sin here is not an act. It
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: is a nature.
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: And that's why when you read Romans chapter number 1,
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: Romans 2, Romans 3, the bulk of the illustration that
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: was used on the subject sin is a noun, not
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: a verb.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: It's a noun.
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: Both of you form a cycle. Join your hands together.
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: Form a cycle with him. Pastor Toby, join them. I
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: want you to understand this in a simpler state. Pastor Joker,
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: please come. Now spread out a bit. Enter this cycle.
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: You know that song you guys used to sing, who
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: is in the garden?
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: Okay. But this is not that. So this is the
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: nature of.
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: Man. And this nature is sin. It doesn't matter what
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: man it is. Abel, David, Moses. They had the nature
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: of sin. There was nothing you could do right. This
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: is your nature.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: Are you with me now?
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: So man could not pay the price for what he
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: has done. And because of that sin, death penalty was
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: passed on man.
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: So God saw this.
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: Situation that man had sinned. Man could not pay. So
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: what God did was that God became man. Now, the
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: issue of Jesus coming as a man, you will think
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: it is a simple thing.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: Except that he will never leave the state of man forever.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: So when the Bible says, for God so loved the
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: world that he.
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: Gave his only begotten son. You see that title, only
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: begotten son. He will lose it for life. Because there
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: will be many begotten.
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: Not only. Now we are also begotten of the father. Amen.
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: So Jesus is not the only begotten son of God.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: Not anymore.
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: We all are sons right now. He gave up that
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: title for us. Are you with me now?
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: So God.
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: In Christ became man.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: And he has one assignment.
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: That the penalty of what man did, that man could
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: not afford to pay, will be passed on him. A
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: man without a blemish, without spot, without wrinkle. Give me
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: the book of Hebrews chapter number 4 verse 15. Please
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: pay attention to this illustration. Hebrews 4 verse 15.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: Look at this. 4 verse 15.
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: For we have not an high priest which cannot be
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: touched to it, with the feelings of our infirmities, but
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin.
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: The significance of this scripture is, all it takes for
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: man to be doomed for life is for God became.
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: Man to know sin.
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: If Jesus had sinned once, how many times did Adam sin?
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: Once.
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: Once.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: It means the second Adam is compromised.
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: So in his day-to-day life, in his day-to-day living, the
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: fate of humanity was hanging in the balance. Death is
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: death as powerful as it will be. It will be
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: of no effect if it is their sin.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: Are you with me? Have I lost you? Are you sure?
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: Is it still clear to this point? Is it still clear?
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: Now, in the Old Testament, in the era of the law,
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: they did many things to write down the book of
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: Hebrews chapter number 9, Hebrews chapter number 10.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: You want to study.
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: But for the sake of understanding, hold on a minute.
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: Let me read a few scriptures. Turn your Bibles quickly.
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: Hebrews chapter number 9 now. Are you learning something?
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: Are you sure?
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: Now, the end of this is, anybody who is seated
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: under my teaching today, you will be able to.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: Share the gospel with anyone without fear.
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: Amen. Now, look at this. Let's turn to Hebrews chapter
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: number 9. Let's start the reading from, let's start from
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: verse 1 so that I can get you to understand.
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: Then verily the first covenant hath also ordinances of divine
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: service and worldly sanctuary.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: The first covenant talks about the error of the law.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: Ayudmi now.
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: Good verse 2 now for there was a tabernacle made
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: the first wearing was the candlestick and the table and
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: the shoe bread which is called the sanctuary verse 3
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: and after the second veil the tabernacle.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: Which is called the holiest of all yes which are the.
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: Golden censer the ark of covenant overlaid round about with
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: gold wearing was the golden pot that had manna and
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: Aaron's rod that budded and the tables of covenant now
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: when you read you try to understand the ark of
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: covenant I'm not getting I'm not understanding don't worry You
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: will understand that old ordinances as you will read Hebrews
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: 9 and 10. They were explained there. So when you
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: read Leviticus, you don't understand, don't worry. Go to Hebrews 9.
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: You see, the Old Testament is the shadow of the
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: things to come. The lens through which we understand it
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: is the new.
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: Are you with me? Let's jump to verse 6 now.
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: Now these things were thus ordained, the priest went always
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service of God, yes?
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: But into the second went the high priest once every year.
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: How many times every year?
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: Once every year. Look at it.
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: Not without blood, which he offered for himself and for
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: the hero. So in the old tabernacle, we have the holy,
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: we have the holies of holies. Some believe we have
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: three chambers. Well, the third one is the outer court.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: Is that okay? Okay.
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: But semantically, we have two. But if we have the
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: altar court, three. We have the holies. So the priest
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: could do things that has to do with meat offering.
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: But the holiest of all, the high priest can only
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: enter how many times in a year? Once.
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: And he could not enter without what? Blood. For the
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: purging of his own sins too. He too is a sinner.
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: In fact, that high priest, they have to tie chains
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: around his leg so that in case he dies inside.
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: So the devil knows.
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: Okay, Jesus, if you are going to be the sacrificial lamb,
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: if you are going to be the high priest, if
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: this high priest, all we have to do is to
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: make this high priest like the old. Enter with the
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: blood but also with sin so that you will not
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: come out.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: Are you with me?
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: But We have not an high priest who cannot be
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: touched with the feelings of our infirmities. Seeing that he
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: was in all points tempted like we are, and yet
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: without what sin. He did not sin so that he
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: could be able to offer the blood.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: As a sinless priest once and for all. Not once
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: in a year. Once and forever.
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: So when he offered his blood, it was a sinless blood.
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: He could say that the prince of this world came
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: to me but found nothing of his in me.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: There's nothing there.
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: Amen.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: Now, look at it. Let's jump.
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: But in the second, when the high priest alone once
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: in a year, not without blood which he offered for
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: himself and for the errors of the people, the Holy Ghost,
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: this signifying that the way to the holiest of all
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: was not yet made manifest, while the first tabernacle was
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: still standing, which was the figure of time then present,
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices that could
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: not make him that did the service perfect. As pertaining
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: to conscience. So what they were doing was that. They
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: were offering sacrifices. But they were not perfected by it.
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: If not by now.
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: Today Easter. All of you will have been here with chicken.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: Depending on your sin. Depending on your sin. This one
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: I will say will be devil.
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: Now he will come with cow. The man of God
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: will come with. There is one bird. Small small bird.
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: Will have been offering these things.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: Every time.
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: By now, all the pastors will have pot belly because
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: when you offer the dove, who eat it?
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: You know what the sons of Aaron were doing? They
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: were enjoying in those days. Everybody wants to be a Levite.
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: Oh yes.
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: Are you that you like meat like this? Just enter
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: that place and this one, it pleases the Lord. But
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: Jesus abolished all that. And sacrificed. Now, this is what
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: he did. By offering himself for us.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: Okay?
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: Something happened now. And this is where it gets dicey.
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: Can I have another four guys? Any lady can join
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: if you want to. But let me have.
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: Please quickly. Form a cycle quickly. So now.
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: Through the sacrifice of Christ, he gave man a new nature.
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: Join your hands with them too. Which is just exactly
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: the way this one functions. But just that this is
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: something entirely different. Open the door. Now this is the
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: nature of righteousness. You did not earn this. He gave
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: you his own righteousness. You did not work for it.
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: You could not hem it. Righteousness is the ability to
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: stand right before God. So when we stand, now the
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: idea of this, and this is where the church gets
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: it wrong, is that you have this nature regardless of
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: your imperfection. When you were in this nature, regardless of
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: your perfection, you were a sinner. Now that you are
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: in this nature, It is not about your perfection or imperfection.
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: It is about His perfection. So when we share this gospel,
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: you say, are you now encouraging people to sin? No.
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: Because this nature is an enabler. It is an enabler.
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: When you have this nature, it moves you to do
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: what is right. It moves you to do what pleases God.
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: Give us that scripture. 2 Corinthians chapter number 5. Are
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: you learning something today? 2 Corinthians 5. Let's start from
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: verse 17. The popular one that everybody knows. Now, therefore,
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: if any man be in Christ, a new creature, all
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: things are passed away.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: Behold, all things are become new. Yes, verse 18. Now,
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: all things.
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: And all things are of God who had reconciled us.
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: Somebody say, he had reconciled us.
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: That is, there's no.
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: More enmity between us and God. To himself, by Jesus Christ.
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: And had given to us the ministry of reconciliation. Verse
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: 19 now. To which that God was in Christ, reconciling
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: the world to himself. Not imputing their sins to them.
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: Listen to this.
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: It is not you telling the sinner that the sinner
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: is a sinner that saves the sinner. It is you
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: telling the sinner that Christ has died for you and
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: he has a new package for you. A sinner knows
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: that when he's smoking and doing those things, he will
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: go to hell. So threatening people with hell is not
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: actually going to get them saved. It is to show
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: them what Christ has done. Amen.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: Let me tell you, people are tired of life. Let
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: me tell you something.
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: One time I was on a bus years back. I
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: noticed that the man was driving like he wants to die.
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: Thank God I was standing in front. So I held him.
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: I said, Baba, what's going on? That's how he broke
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: down in tears. I said, I'm tired of this life.
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: Ha! You are tired?
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: When the person who is tired of life drives you,
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: you know you are in trouble. I became a motivational
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: preacher throughout the journey started showing him not because i
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: really care but because i didn't want to die he
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: was tired of life so you see people like that
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: doing several things tell them they will go to hell
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: they will tell you where i am now is hell.
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: That's not the way to.
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: Get people saved God was in Christ, reconciling the world
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: to himself, not imputing their trespasses to them. So you see,
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: somebody has killed people all his life on his deathbed.
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: He said, Jesus, have mercy on me. Where will you go? Heaven. Straight.
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: What about all the astronauts? It's your business.
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: There are people you see in heaven, that's when you
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: will discover how wicked you are.
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: You say, eh? What are you... Go out now. And
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: then Jesus will come and say, I paid the price.
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: And you are not any better. I wanted to say something,
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: but it doesn't become headline. Let me just say this.
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: He gave a parable.
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: The one who came at the 11th hour, who came
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: at the 9th hour, they all received the same reward though.
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: Somebody will say, ah, Apostle, thank you for this OT
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: that you have given to me now.
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: Let me go and come back. You may not come back.
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: Because when you hug the devil, he will hold you
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: for long.
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: The moment we receive this nature, the affinity for sin dies.
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: Because we have a new nature. Now, look at this.
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: He has committed to us the word of reconciliation. Verse
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: 20 now. Quickly. Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ.
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: As though God did beseech you by us, we pray
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: you in Christ's stead, be reconciled to God. Yes, verse
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: 21 now. For he had made him to be sin
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: for us, which knew no sin. That we might be
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: made what? Come on, loud and clear. that we might
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: be made what? The righteousness of God. In Christ, we
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: were made so on the account of his price. Not
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: on the account of our trying. On the account of
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: what he did.
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: Did you see it?
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: When Jacob was going to go to Isaac to get
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: the blessing, the mother clotted on him.
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: The skin of the ram she killed.
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: And when Isaac said, this is the flesh of Esau,
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: but the voice of Jacob. And he smelled the smell
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: of his remnant. And he said, the smell of my
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: son is as the smell of a field that the
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: Lord has blessed. This is the picture of what is
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: going to play out. That we can now therefore come boldly.
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: We have been clothed with his sacrifice. We can come boldly.
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: No longer afraid.
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: You can approach God and call him daddy. God is
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: not from a boomer show. And God is not for
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: me to say.
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: He is God.
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: One of the biggest expressions of him that was revealed
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: to us in the Bible is Abba.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: Daddy. Some of us are too old to call him daddy.
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: Daddy me. If you have God's number, what would you
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: say his number with? Some would say with Palais. My G.
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: My G. I'm not sure you understood. We were once
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: children of the devil. And now we are sons of God.
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: God is my daddy. Imagine your name today is John
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: Aliko Dangote.
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: You can just come to church and say, Apostle, I
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: want my chair to be on the altar now.
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: Say, who are you? Say, I am John Aliko. But
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: imagine now that you are sons of God. You are
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: a child of God. That's your son name, Christ. Yes, sir.
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: We were good for nothing doomed to die until he
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: came and saved us look at how benevolent that saving
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: grace is it was a man was on his right
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: hand side on the cross he just stood down okay
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: today you dream in paradise a man of you have
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: not thought about that word today what he's saying is
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: i didn't take him three days to do what he
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: did in hell It didn't take him three days. You think, oh,
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: Jesus was in hell, fighting the devil.
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: Day one. Satan, I will beat you, I will beat
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: you too, day two. No, no, no, no. He did
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: it in one day. Stayed two extra.
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: Because he knows intelligent people will come. And they will say,
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: maybe he didn't die, he fainted. The Jews don't believe
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: that the soul is separated from the body until after
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: three days. He stayed three days to fulfill all righteousness.
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: But he did all he would do in a moment.
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: Spoiled principalities, spoiled powers, triumph over them publicly.
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: Listen to this.
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: There is actually nothing really special about rising from the dead.
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: Let me bust your bubble.
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: There's nothing special. In fact, Jesus is not the first
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: to rise from the dead. There was a guy that
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: died and they threw his body where the bones of
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: Elisha was. He came back to life. Even Jesus himself
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: had resurrected Lazarus. Jairus' daughter died. I mean, different examples
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: of people that died. But all those who died and
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: were raised from the dead died again. Heroes never to
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: die again. He triumphed over death for life.
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: Talk about Buddha. He's dead.
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: There's no religion in the world that talks about a
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: savior that is alive.
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: No religion. No religion. We are not serving late Jesus.
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: It is Jesus of Nazareth. Look at what it says
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: in Revelation. Let me give these people a big clap, please.
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: Go back to your seat.
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: Revelations chapter number 1. Revelations 1. Let's go to verse 18.
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: Revelations 1.
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: Is somebody getting blessed? Are you sure?
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: Say thank you Jesus. Come on say it again. Let's
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: start from verse 17 please. Revelations 1 from verse 17.
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: Revelations 1 from verse 17.
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: Look at it.
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: And when I saw him I fell at his feet
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me.
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: Say not to me, fear not. For I am the
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: first and the last. Verse 18 now.
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: Quickly. I am he that liveth and was dead. Not
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: is dead. Was dead. Glory. Was dead. And behold, I
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: am alive. Forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: hell and death.
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: He did not just arise from the dead.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: He took the keys. You know what that means? Nobody
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: can kill you. The key is with.
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: But do you know that semantically... How do I say
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: this now? Because we understand scriptures. Semantically, Jesus... is not
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: our father, he's our elder brother. Because we have become
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: joint heirs, fellow sons. How can we become the younger
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: brother of God and the son of God?
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: That's too much. That's too much.
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: You see, when he became flesh, I said he never
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: went back To stop being man.
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: Look at it.
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: 1 Timothy chapter number 2.
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: 1 Timothy chapter number 2. If you are there, say Amen.
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: I know you are not there. Oh, praise God. Hallelujah.
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: Now let's start the reading from verse 3 so you
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: can have a bit of background.
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: Look at this.
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: Say, for this is good. Talk about praying for kings,
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: for all in authority. Say, for this is good and
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: acceptable in the sight of God our Savior.
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: Yes? Who will have all men to be saved and
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: come to the knowledge of who?
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: Of what?
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: The truth. Why? For there is one God and one
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: Medetor between God and... Come on, say it again with
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: the what? Say it again, the what? Let me tell you,
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: it didn't end there.
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: Imagine now, Imagine that your direct elder brother just.
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: Becomes the president of Nigeria. That's what I'm about to
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: show you. Sit down.
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: Look at the book of Revelations chapter number 4.
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: Let me tell you.
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: Jesus did not just remain man till now. The entire
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: protocol of heaven is manned by men.
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: Till now.
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: On the account of his price. Revelation chapter number 4,
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: look at this. Around about the throne were four and
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: twenty seats. And upon the seat I saw four and
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: twenty elders sitting.
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: Plotting in white raiment. Number one.
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: White raiment means that they have been washed in the blood.
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: Angels were not washed in the blood. Only men were.
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: Oh God. They are elders. There is a throne seated.
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: Of Christ.
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: Then there is a twenty four people protocol around that throne.
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: And as they began to describe. The one on the throne.
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: is man. The elders are on the throne. Men.
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: It is the world of men. Clothed in white raiment.
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: And they had on their heads crown of gold. Crown
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: is for.
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: Those who overcame. That is, they lived, they saw, and
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: they conquered. Look at it. Alright?
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: Out of the throne proceeds, and before the throne, sea
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: of glass. Semantically, sea represents multitude.
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: Multitudes.
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: This was what the devil saw. This was what he
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: has always wanted. That he will be in the highest protocol.
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: But God reserved that place for you and I. That
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: now we are seated in Christ. Far above principalities and powers.
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: We have a better seat on his account. Don't live
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: in condemnation. Don't live in rejection. Look at what the
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: Bible says. Romans chapter number 8 from verse 1. Romans
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: 8 verse 1. Everyone say it one quickly. Let's read
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: this loud and clear.
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: One, two, three, go.
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: There is now therefore no condemnation to them who are
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: after the... You know, the devil is going to try
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: to remind you of your past. Your past is as
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: good as dead. Any man who is in Christ is
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: new creature. New means not put to use before. Apostle,
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: if only you know the things I've done. I've done
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: abortion before.
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: He said you are new. Oh, praise God. Let's give
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: Jesus a big hand one more time. You know, the
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: devil was too certain.
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: When Jesus was having his earthly ministry, the devil was
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: so threatened. And all the devil wanted to do was
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: to get rid of him as quickly as he could.
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: He wanted him out of the way. But he did
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: not know That in doing that, he was perfecting the
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: story of our salvation. So the devil later sat back
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: and regret. And the Bible said, if the princes of
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: this world had known. Did Jesus die? Yes. They forced
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: a crown of thorn to his head. That's not some
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: golden Christ.
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: That's not some musicians mocking God.
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: Listen.
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: Listen.
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: This is not the kind of crown made with, this
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: is not Versace or what they call it, crown.
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: It's not gushy tongues. It's not. It's real tongues. It
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: pierced his core.
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: The cane they used in flogging people in those days.
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: What is even serious about the cane is not the strike.
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: It is the fact that That Cain had on his hand.
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: Claws. In fact.
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: Bulk of those they want to crucify. Don't make it
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: a crucifixion. Because they would have lost all their. You
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: only have five liter of blood. It doesn't take so
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: much to lose it. So and they gave him.
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: Those strokes of Cain. And. It will wrap around him.
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: And the claws will fast there. And they will pull
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: it out. And.
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: And the Bible said for each of those scribes were healed.
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: Medically there are 30 categories of sicknesses. He took one
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: extra in case one comes later. For each category took
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: the stripes. And you know what they must have been
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: doing in hell?
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: Flog him! He's useless! Beat him! They forced him to
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: carry the cross. He carried that cross. And they nailed
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: his hands. Nailed his legs. And they hung.
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: The cross means rejected by the head. Rejected by heaven.
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: Hanging in between. He had to cry. They have rejected me.
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: My father, my father. Why have you two forsaken me?
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: He was not accepted anywhere. And one time he came
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: and said, I'm thirsty. And they forced vinegar to his mouth.
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: When he tasted it. The Bible said he yielded up
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: the ghost and said it is finished.
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: He died.
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: The moment he died, everywhere turned dark. What had never
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: happened before had happened. The caliber of man that had
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: never died before had died. When his blood touched the earth,
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: there was earthquake. Shackles everywhere. And they left his body
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: to hang. until Joseph of Arimathea said, give it to me.
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: And the mother of Jesus, Mary, Martha, Peter, they wept.
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: You know, when you lose people, you cry. They wept,
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: day one. They wept, day two. Let me show you
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: a scripture now. So when we look at Easter, we
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: are not here to celebrate... Or to cry.
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: Or to mourn. As painful as the story may sound. No.
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: We are here to celebrate triumph. Hallelujah. Now let me
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: show you something. Are you with me? Are you sure?
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: Now let's look at the book of Matthew chapter number 28.
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: Matthew chapter number 28. Let's start the reading from verse 1.
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: Matthew 28 from verse 1. And in the end of
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: the Sabbath. As it began the dawn. Towards the first
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: Mary to see the sepulcher. And behold, there was a
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: great earthquake. For the angel of the Lord descended from
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: heaven and came and rolled the stone from the door
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: and sat on it. That's the part that interests me
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: so much. When the angel rolled away the stone, sat
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: on it. The power that raised him is not hiding.
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: We take responsibility for it.
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: He sat on it. And his countenance was like light.
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: You couldn't kill Jesus. He laid down his life. The
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: person that they wanted to capture and say, who is Jesus?
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: He said, I am he, the offerer. He said, if
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: he pleased me, I would ask my father to send
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: legions of angels. He could say at any point, I'm not.
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: Doing it again.
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: And his countenance was like lightning, and his raiment as
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: white as snow. And for fear of him, the keepers
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: did shake and became as dead men. And the angel
• 39:22
  Speaker 3: answered and said to the women, Fear not you, for
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: I know that you seek Jesus, which was crucified.
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: He is not here. he is risen as he said
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: come and see the place where the Lord lay tell
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: your neighbor he is not here he is risen.
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: They came to see a corpse but he is risen
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: he died yes for day one yes day two yes
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: On the third day, the spirit of him that is
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: risen from the dead.
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: Came, forced him out of the grave.
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: So go quickly and tell the disciple that he is
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: risen from the dead. Now this is not just some
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: folklore tale. This is historically proven that a man called
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: Jesus once lived.
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: And there is no historical record of where his grave is.
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: Because he is not there.
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: And that's why we don't go to Israel to see
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: the bones and some.
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: Leftovers of Jesus. He rose from the dead.
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: And his own kind of resurrection is not the one
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: that they just open the door for him to come out.
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: He triumphed over death and took the keys.
• 40:36
  Speaker 3: That's why we call him the firstborn from the dead.
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: Because nobody has ever triumphed over death. When he died,
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: the Bible says that we died with him. And when
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: he rose, we rose together. In the same similitude.
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: He is alive. And that is the reason why we
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: are alive.
• 40:53
  Speaker 3: This is the foundation of our faith. We are not
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: serving a dead God. We are not serving a dead Messiah.
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: He rose from the grave.
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: This is where faith has its roots.
• 41:06
  Speaker 3: On the account of this, we can command certain things
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: to die. Our faith stems from the root of the
• 41:13
  Speaker 3: fact that it arose from the dead. We can anchor
• 41:16
  Speaker 3: our life on it. What is the hope that when
• 41:21
  Speaker 3: believers die now, that we don't mourn like unbelievers? That
• 41:25
  Speaker 3: we know that in fullness of time, we'll see them also.
• 41:28
  Speaker 3: It's just a matter of time. It's just a matter
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: of time. All your uncles, all the people you've once
• 41:32
  Speaker 3: known that are going to be with you, it's just
• 41:34
  Speaker 3: a matter of time.
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: One day soon, we'll be together again. Glory to God.
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: He rose. And we rose with him. Glory. Amen. He's
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: not dead anymore. He said, go tell them. Go tell them.
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: He's no longer here. Come see where he was laid.
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: And they got there.
• 41:53
  Speaker 3: Closed.
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: He's gone.
• 41:56
  Speaker 3: And when he got to the place where they were talking,
• 41:59
  Speaker 3: It was Thomas that was doubting him. And he said, Thomas,
• 42:02
  Speaker 3: I know men of your kind also will exist.
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: Come. And he said, trust your hand to my side.
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: It did. And he could feel the intestines, the livers.
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: I said, yes. I said, put your hand in the
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: holes of my hand. And he did. And it went through.
• 42:17
  Speaker 3: And Thomas, with his doubtful state, broke down in tears.
• 42:21
  Speaker 3: And he said something concerning us. Blessed is that generation
• 42:26
  Speaker 3: whom having not sinned.
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: Yet believe. He captured us there. We are that generation.
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: He is still with the scar as a token of
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: the blood.
• 42:41
  Speaker 3: When a man, when I want to marry my wife,
• 42:42
  Speaker 3: they say this is the bread price I paid. He
• 42:45
  Speaker 3: is the only groom whose bread price was his blood. Huh?
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: He is the only groom whose bread price was his what?
• 42:57
  Speaker 3: If anybody disrespect my wife you disrespect the highest height
• 43:02
  Speaker 3: of me if anybody disregard the bride of christ you
• 43:07
  Speaker 3: touch him where he will respond as a lion this
• 43:10
  Speaker 3: is the reason why you should not see yourself as
• 43:13
  Speaker 3: one that should be victimized you are the bride of
• 43:16
  Speaker 3: christ a price was paid so you see oppression i
• 43:22
  Speaker 3: said no he paid the price for this So let
• 43:26
  Speaker 3: me bring you to understand Romans 12. Why you didn't
• 43:28
  Speaker 3: understand it? Romans 12 from verse 1 now. I wrap
• 43:30
  Speaker 3: up there. Romans 12. I beseech you therefore brethren by
• 43:33
  Speaker 3: the mercy of God that you present your bodies living
• 43:36
  Speaker 3: sacrifice only unacceptable to which is your reasonable what?
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: Service.
• 43:40
  Speaker 3: Meaning that having paid everything it is only reasonable for
• 43:44
  Speaker 3: you to reciprocate. Imagine being married to a woman and
• 43:47
  Speaker 3: say I want to talk to you. It is reasonable
• 43:49
  Speaker 3: to present your body.
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: Reasonable. That's what makes sense. Amen.
• 43:57
  Speaker 3: So we have not just come this morning to say,
• 44:00
  Speaker 3: oh thank you Jehovah because he rose. The question is,
• 44:03
  Speaker 3: are you where he is? Have you accepted the sacrifice?
• 44:10
  Speaker 3: Have you accepted the price that he paid? Or will
• 44:13
  Speaker 3: that be in vain over you? One day so, at
• 44:20
  Speaker 3: the sound of the archangel, All the things we are
• 44:24
  Speaker 3: doing will be over one day soon. And the Bible
• 44:29
  Speaker 3: said that dead in Christ will rise first. And we
• 44:32
  Speaker 3: who are alive will also rise and meet with him.
• 44:35
  Speaker 3: Will you be there? It's a very important question. Will
• 44:40
  Speaker 3: you be there? Just like being in a garage doesn't
• 44:44
  Speaker 3: make you a car owner. Being in a church doesn't
• 44:46
  Speaker 3: make you a Christian. Have you accepted him as your
• 44:49
  Speaker 3: Lord and Savior? Have you confessed his Lordship? Have you
• 44:52
  Speaker 3: accepted the sacrifice, the price he paid? Or are you
• 44:57
  Speaker 3: nailing him to the cross the second time?
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: It is not a joke.
• 45:02
  Speaker 3: We have a reasonable service. And that is to present ourselves. Oh,
• 45:08
  Speaker 3: the reality of resurrection is beautiful. But it's only beautiful
• 45:11
  Speaker 3: in the life of the man who have accepted him.
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: Have you?
• 45:16
  Speaker 3: If Jesus comes now, Where are you going? When you
• 45:21
  Speaker 3: hear rapture, what comes to your heart? If you are afraid,
• 45:23
  Speaker 3: it means you are not giving your life to Christ.
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: Because rapture is the groom coming for the bride. And
• 45:29
  Speaker 3: I want us to bow our heads this morning. Even
• 45:32
  Speaker 3: as we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus. I want us
• 45:35
  Speaker 3: to bow our heads this morning. If there is somebody
• 45:41
  Speaker 3: here saying, I want to make commitment as a Christian
• 45:48
  Speaker 3: to serve God With my life. I want to give
• 45:51
  Speaker 3: my life to Jesus Christ.
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: As my Lord and Savior. Somebody is saying.
• 45:56
  Speaker 3: I have given my life to him. But I need
• 45:59
  Speaker 3: to rededicate my life. Quickly for the sake of time.
• 46:02
  Speaker 3: I won't call you out. But please be upstanding where
• 46:04
  Speaker 3: you are seated.
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: It doesn't matter. Don't be ashamed.
• 46:07
  Speaker 3: The one who died for you. Ung naked. As a
• 46:11
  Speaker 3: 33 and a half years old man.
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: Naked.
• 46:14
  Speaker 3: Every genitals was in the public. That's how he died
• 46:18
  Speaker 3: for you. All you have to do today is to
• 46:22
  Speaker 3: publicly affirm him as your Lord and Savior. He's not
• 46:26
  Speaker 3: asking for too much. He's not asking for too much.
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: Are you here?
• 46:30
  Speaker 3: Thank you for standing. You need to give your life
• 46:33
  Speaker 3: to Jesus Christ today. And accept the sacrifice. Maybe there's
• 46:36
  Speaker 3: still somebody. And the Holy Ghost is saying. You know
• 46:39
  Speaker 3: you should be up. You know I've been running after
• 46:41
  Speaker 3: you all your days. Just to make sure I call
• 46:43
  Speaker 3: you back home. Why are you still seated? Why are
• 46:45
  Speaker 3: you hiding yourself? Accept my love today. And be saved.
• 46:51
  Speaker 3: That's the essence of the season. That we accept. What
• 46:55
  Speaker 3: it paid the price for. That's the essence.
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: And if you're up standing. Say these words after me.
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: Lord Jesus. I believe.
• 47:05
  Speaker 3: That you came to this world to die for my sins.
• 47:09
  Speaker 3: I believe that you died for my sins. I also
• 47:14
  Speaker 3: believe that you rose on the third day for my justification. Today, Lord,
• 47:22
  Speaker 3: I confess you as my Lord and Savior. And I
• 47:28
  Speaker 3: accept this gift of eternal life in Jesus' name.
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: The Bible says when we have people say this, there
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: is a party in heaven. Come on now. There is joy.
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: And what do we do? We rejoice for souls. We rejoice.
• 47:47
  Speaker 3: You know one of my greatest joy is that every
• 47:50
  Speaker 3: day I have at least a soul to my account.
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: Every day. Every day. What a joy we have.
• 47:59
  Speaker 3: Hallelujah.
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: Hallelujah. That we stand here knowing.
• 48:04
  Speaker 3: Are you aware that Christians are the only ones. With
• 48:06
  Speaker 3: hope of eternity that is sure.
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: That is sure. It's not mere religion. It's a call
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: to life. Lift your hands. Say thank you Jesus. Come
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: on say loud and clear. Thank you Jesus.
• 48:22
  Speaker 3: Thank you for the price you paid.
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: On the cross of Calvary. To save my soul. Thank
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: you Jesus. You want to rise on your feet. And
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: just bless him. Oh what a joy. What a joy.
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: That I can be called a child of God.
• 48:42
  Speaker 3: What a joy. With all the things I've done in
• 48:44
  Speaker 3: the past. When they thought my life was over. What
• 48:47
  Speaker 3: a joy. That I can be called a child of God.
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: What a joy. What a joy. Falling in love. Falling
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: in love with Jesus.
• 49:06
  Speaker 3: Falling in love with Jesus. is the best thing I
• 49:24
  Speaker 3: have ever done in his hands I feel protected in
• 49:32
  Speaker 3: his hands I feel protected in his hands Never disconnected.
• 49:47
  Speaker 3: In his hands. In his hands. I feel protected.
• 49:55
  Speaker 2: There's no place I'd rather be.
• 49:56
  Speaker 3: And there's no place I'd rather be.

  Speaker 2: to this. Amen. As we Pull the curtain on the service.
• 50:12
  Speaker 3: Let me beg us. That the proof. Of our Christianity.
• 50:18
  Speaker 3: Should not be Sunday worship. And Tuesday Bible study. That
• 50:23
  Speaker 3: we live a life that bears witness.
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: To the fact that when he died. We died. And
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: when he rose. We rose again with him. Representing him
• 50:33
  Speaker 2: as ambassadors of God. Are you with me? In words.
• 50:38
  Speaker 2: And in deeds.
• 50:40
  Speaker 3: So that it will not be said in our lifetime.
• 50:42
  Speaker 3: That the worst people in the society are Christians. The
• 50:46
  Speaker 3: impact of this should affect our society at large. That
• 50:50
  Speaker 3: if you are placed in a place where you have
• 50:52
  Speaker 3: access to corruption.
• 50:54
  Speaker 2: You choose not to be corrupt. Because you know you
• 50:56
  Speaker 2: were bought with a price.
• 50:58
  Speaker 3: You have a place where you have access to do
• 51:00
  Speaker 3: what is wrong. You choose not to do it. Because
• 51:02
  Speaker 3: you know you are not your own. I have been
• 51:05
  Speaker 3: crucified with Christ. Nevertheless I live. Yet not high. The
• 51:10
  Speaker 3: life which I now live, I live by the faith
• 51:12
  Speaker 3: of the Son of God who died and gave himself
• 51:14
  Speaker 3: for me.
• 51:15
  Speaker 2: Hallelujah. So we have a.
• 51:17

  Speaker 3: account of the power of the resurrection, I command that
