Welcome to NECF sermons.
0:05
Each message here is designed to uplift and strengthen you in your walk with God.
0:11
Don't miss out, stay with us until the end for our rewarding experience.
0:17
Let's dive right in.
0:18
So where we stop on Sunday, right?
0:25
Last Sunday, we were able to establish and to put to see what quench not the spirit means,
0:37
right?
0:38
We were able to go through to understand what the spirit is referring to, referring to the
0:44
activities of the spirit.
0:47
And we check that through the priesthood, how the priesthood use fire, because we explained
0:54
that the word quench is mostly used in relation to fire.
0:59
And we explained that the priesthood use fire as part of the services, right?
1:05
They use it in the place of service, right, when they are worshipping in the temple, right?
1:13
We see that they were the one using it, and it means that it's a responsibility for them
1:17
to put up the fire and to make it to continually burn in the temple.
1:23
And by the time we came into the New Testament, we realized that what was happening on the
1:29
day of Pentecost, when they saw the fire, were also referring to activities that the
1:34
believer would begin to engage in, right?
1:38
The believer began to engage in that activity, right, which is the things of the spirit was
1:45
released onto them, which is the power, right, was released onto them to begin to function
1:51
inside.
1:52
So we are empowered from above, which is from within, right?
1:58
From above, empowered from above means from within, because we know we are seated in heavenly
2:02
places in Christ Jesus, and from that position where Christ is in us, he comes forth, right,
2:09
the spirit brings forth expression of power.
2:12
We actually explain all this and say that a believer can actually keep the fire burning,
2:19
a believer can choose not to keep the fire burning, right, can choose to keep the fire
2:23
burning or you can choose not to be on fire.
2:27
And we said that a believer can choose to do the things of the spirit and the believer
2:32
can also choose not to do the things of the spirit.
2:35
And I just said that it starts with the mind, to know that the mind, there's no mindless
2:41
worship, okay, there is no mindless worship.
2:43
We need to say that regularly, right?
2:46
So worship is not mindless.
2:49
You can't just do it without your mind, right?
2:52
You carefully worship.
2:54
So our mind is engaged in worship, therefore, all the activities of the spirit comes to
3:00
us or we manifest them with our mind, right, with our mind involving it, right?
3:06
That is why when someone is not speaking in tongues, right, sometimes people, which is
3:12
an activity of the spirit, people always, the first question we always ask them is,
3:18
why are you not speaking in tongues?
3:19
So some people say that they are expecting something spooky to jump on them, right, out
3:26
of their own consciousness, away from their own will, so that they can begin to speak
3:31
in tongues.
3:32
And, you know, from there, we have to correct it that, you know, you can actually speak
3:37
in tongues, right?
3:38
It's something that engages your will, right?
3:40
Your will is part of the, the path through which you pray in the Holy Ghost, right?
3:47
There's no mindless worship, therefore, a believer can choose to be on fire, a believer
3:53
can choose not to be on fire by not practicing the things of the spirit, by not engaging
3:59
in the pains of the spirit.
4:02
And I think that is one of the things where some people call backsliding, right?
4:06
It's not like you're losing yourself.
4:07
And there's parts of that, some people refer to that as you're drawing back from practicing
4:13
the pains of the spirit.
4:14
Remember, believers are backsliders.
4:15
You are drawing back from the pains of the spirit.
4:17
It's not that, oh, you're losing your salvation or no, no, that's backsliding.
4:22
People use it loosely, right?
4:24
But it really refers to when the fire stops burning, right?
4:30
We are not seeing the zeal again.
4:32
We are not seeing the strength again, right?
4:36
It means you are losing some practices, right, that you should be doing, right?
4:41
You are losing some practices that you should be doing.
4:45
So backsliding basically refers to that.
4:47
We're going to check subsequently on that to pay attention to that concept of backsliding
4:52
as a believer, right?
4:54
So you can backslide by not practicing the things of the spirit, right?
4:59
It's not like when we call you, we'll now tell you that your salvation has been thrown
5:03
away.
5:04
That's not what it means, right?
5:05
You are still a believer, right?
5:08
But from our activities that we participate together as believers, you are drawing back.
5:14
That's actually the word, you know, to withdraw from something that you have been participating,
5:19
right?
5:20
So you can't withdraw from salvation because salvation is giving, okay?
5:27
You can't withdraw from salvation.
5:29
Salvation is granted to you when you have faith in God, right?
5:32
You have faith in God.
5:33
So you are reaching salvation, Ephesians chapter two, right?
5:36
But when it comes to backsliding, right, so pay attention to it.
5:40
It's about living certain practices that the believer, right, should be part of.
5:50
Okay, let me quickly run through Hebrews, Hebrews 10.25.
5:58
Maybe we should start with this one a little bit and just touch upon it, just using Hebrews
6:06
10.25.
6:07
Right.
6:08
This is not where I wanted to think about.
6:11
Since I started emphasizing it, we can go there first and we'll still come back.
6:15
So Hebrews 10.25.
6:18
Let's go from 22.
6:19
It says, let us draw near with a true heart and full assurance of faith, right?
6:26
Since we have a full assurance of faith with our hearts sprinkled clean, right, from all
6:31
evil consciences, our body washed with pure water, right?
6:34
So this is what has happened to us.
6:36
We have been drawn near, we have our conscience cleaned, we have a full assurance of our faith.
6:41
Verse 23, it says, let us hold fast, right, the confession of our hope, right, to hold
6:46
firmly the confession of our hope without wavering for he who promised is faithful,
6:53
right, and let us consider, for he who promised is faithful.
6:57
Now, verse says, let us consider how to steer up one another, right, to love and good works.
7:04
Verse 23 says, not neglecting to meet together as is the habit of some, right, but encouraging
7:11
one another, right, encouraging one another.
7:15
And all the more as you see the day drawing near, right, to actually withdraw from the
7:24
activities, right, of coming together as a believer.
7:29
You could say you are backsliding, right, if you are neglecting to meet together, refusing
7:35
to come together to believers gathering, you can say, oh, you're backsliding, right, you
7:41
are stopping the activities, you're neglecting the gathering of the prayer.
7:44
It doesn't mean you're not a believer because you've had faith in Christ, which is a gift,
7:48
but this one is your responsibility.
7:51
That is why the fire is the responsibility of the believer.
7:56
Being on fire is the responsibility of the believers.
7:58
I just put that through to explain to us that believers can actually draw back, right, from
8:04
the activities of the spirit, right, and consider how to stay on fire without drawing back,
8:09
right, how to stay on fire without drawing back.
8:13
So I also said that it is not the responsibility of the Holy Ghost, right, to keep us on fire.
8:19
It is our responsibility, just like the priest is the responsibility, to stay on fire, right.
8:26
We also say that when you experience fire in a very intense believers gathering, it's
8:31
talking, it's mainly because of the activities going on there, right, it's the activities
8:36
going on there that is the fire that, you know, we're talking about.
8:41
So today, what must we do, right, to stay on fire and not quench fire, right?
8:49
It is, it is unideal, right, it is not ideal for a believer, right, it is not ideal for
8:56
a believer to, how can I put it, to be met at the point in time and they say that, let's
9:06
pray in the Holy Ghost, and the believer is waiting to pray in the Holy Ghost or the believer
9:13
is not ever ready to pray in the Holy Ghost.
9:17
It is not ideal, right, this is not ideal.
9:20
So it's like some people always believe that they have to be prepared, like you want to,
9:24
you want to, you want to pray in the Holy Ghost now, you have to first of all prepare
9:28
for days, you have to lead prayers now, you have to go for seven days, you have to cast
9:33
out demons, you have to go for 15 days, then maybe you have to raise the dead, maybe like
9:39
30 days before you'll be prepared, right.
9:43
Which is not ideal for a believer, right, it's not ideal for a believer.
9:48
So when you want to do the things of the spirit, it's your natural, the believer.
9:54
So the activities of the spirit, what keeps the believer on fire is natural to the believer,
10:01
it's your place, it should be your place, and it's natural to you.
10:05
So when you want to pray in the Holy Ghost, you are not trying to bring something, right,
10:08
you are not trying to do something fresh, to activate it, then you now start praying
10:13
in the Holy Ghost, you're not trying to jump into praying in the Holy Ghost.
10:16
Somebody is having a very terrible day and a challenging day and the person meets you,
10:22
you don't need to say, okay, wait, let me go and I'm prepared to encourage you.
10:27
No, from there you give the word, you give the scripture, you give edification so that
10:31
the person is strengthened.
10:34
So what I'm trying to say is that the activities of the spirit is, it should be a normal to
10:40
the believer, that when you see someone who is sick, you can say, let me lay hands on
10:47
this person.
10:48
If you see someone who is worried, say, let me speak a word of prophecy to this person.
10:53
Right?
10:54
So no believer should wait and say, well, I need to go and prepare for us to come, right?
10:59
We prepare for someone, that is correct, because we want to prepare to know how to deliver
11:04
effectively in a way that you can comprehend, right, and explain it and to ever be able
11:10
to prove it very well, right, to show you evidence, abundance of evidence.
11:15
That's what I'm preparing for someone, right?
11:17
But it is always ready to give a word of wisdom of knowledge, you know, encouragement.
11:22
What I'm trying to say is that the things of the spirit is not a one moment thing, it's
11:27
not only when we come together, it's not only when you are fasted and prayed for seven days
11:32
that you can do them, right?
11:34
And I'm not saying those things are not good, right?
11:36
We will see them from the scripture from Acts 13.
11:38
What I'm trying to say is that you are ever ready, ever ready.
11:43
And this is what we call, you know, ever burning fire that is in the believer, ever burning
11:47
fire, right?
11:48
You are ever ready.
11:49
You are ever ready.
11:52
So this is what we call ever burning fire.
11:54
Now we'll just go through the scriptures and to know the things that we can really engage,
11:59
right, things that we can engage that will keep us burning, that will keep us burning,
12:05
right?
12:06
Things that we engage that will keep us burning.
12:08
So the first thing that we can write down, give us the scriptures and we'll explain it
12:13
is to maintain and grow in the revelation that you have received.
12:19
So the first thing to really continue in, to really continue in burning or to continue
12:26
to remain on fire for God is first to maintain and grow in the revelation that you have received,
12:34
right?
12:35
To maintain, you know, and grow in the revelation.
12:37
So we'll go to 1 Corinthians 15, 3 to 5.
12:42
1 Corinthians 15, 3 to 5.
12:45
It says, for I deliver to you as of first importance, primary importance, what I also
12:50
received that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the scriptures and that he
12:59
was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the scriptures and
13:06
that he appeared to suffer then to the 12th.
13:09
Then he appeared to more than 500 brothers at one time, most of whom are still alive,
13:16
though some are falling asleep.
13:20
Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, last of all, as to one untimely
13:26
born, he appeared also to me.
13:30
Right?
13:31
So he said, that's which I deliver to you, that's which I also receive.
13:36
Right?
13:37
I also receive.
13:39
So Paul is saying that the way, right, the way I've understood Christ, the way I've
13:44
received this revelation, I have also delivered it onto you.
13:48
Right?
13:49
I have delivered it onto you according to the scriptures that he was buried.
13:55
Right?
13:56
Sorry, he died and he was buried and was raised to life on the third day.
14:02
And there are these others that bear evidences to these things that I present.
14:09
So Paul is saying that I'm not, I'm not changing anything in what I've received.
14:12
Right?
14:13
I'm presenting it to you just as I've received it.
14:17
I'm presenting it to you just as I've received it.
14:21
And that all that's also can bear witness to this truth, that Christ died for our sins
14:29
according to scriptures, was buried and was raised on the third day.
14:35
Okay?
14:37
So let's check some more scriptures.
14:43
Let's check some more scriptures.
14:44
What happens to a believer when a believer or what happens to a person, let me say person
14:50
because the context we want to check is not really the context of a believer yet, but
14:54
what happens to a person when they receive the revelation and they don't continue in
14:58
it, they don't maintain it, they don't grow in the revelation, right?
15:02
They don't grow in the revelation.
15:04
We're going to see Peter's example in two cases, right?
15:07
We're going to see Peter's example in two cases and that would really help us to understand
15:12
the need to grow in the revelation of Christ.
15:15
So Matthew 16, 18 to 19, Matthew 16, 18 to 19, then Matthew 16, 21 to 23.
15:26
And we'll check an example in the book of Acts as well.
15:29
We'll check an example of the same Peter and at least that is after the resurrection.
15:34
Matthew 16, 18 to 19.
15:37
When I tell you you are Peter, I think we'll go from verse 13, right?
15:42
We'll go from verse 13.
15:43
It's the now when Jesus came to the district of Caesarea, Philippi, Matthew 16, he asked
15:49
his disciples, who do people say that the son of man is?
15:53
And they said, some say John the Baptist, right?
15:57
Some say John the Baptist, others say Elijah, Elijah, right?
16:02
And others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.
16:04
And he said to them, but who do you say I am?
16:07
And Simon Peter replied, you are the Christ, the son of the living God.
16:11
And Jesus answered, blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jona, for flesh and blood has not revealed
16:16
this to you, but my father who is in heaven, and I tell you, you are Peter.
16:23
And on this rock, I will build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against
16:27
it.
16:28
I'll give you the keys of kingdom of heaven and whatever you find on earth shall be bound
16:32
in heaven and whatever you lose on earth shall be lose in heaven.
16:37
Then he strictly tried the disciples to tell no one that he was the Christ.
16:43
From that time, Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go through, right?
16:50
That he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders and the chief priests
16:55
and scribes and be killed.
16:58
And on the third day he raised and Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him saying,
17:03
fire beeth from you, Lord, this shall never happen to you.
17:06
But he turned and said to Peter, get behind me, Satan, you are an hindrance to me, for
17:11
you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of man.
17:18
So within the same period, we see Peter giving the revelation of who Christ is, right?
17:24
Of who Christ is, which is the truth, right?
17:27
He is a Christ, the son of the living God, right?
17:31
He is the Christ, the son of the living God.
17:34
This is a revelation and Peter was correct with what he said, right?
17:39
But to grow in that revelation is to understand Christ, the kind of Christ, right?
17:46
What Christ must do, the details of the Christ, right?
17:51
What is that which pertains to this Christ, right?
17:55
And that was why Jesus began to explain to them as, okay, now that you now understand
18:00
that I'm the Christ, the son of the living God, right?
18:03
The manifestation of God himself, let's go deeper, okay?
18:07
Let's go deeper.
18:08
Now the thing is that I'm going to suffer many things, right?
18:11
I'm going to suffer many things from the elders, the chief priests.
18:15
I'm going to be killed, right?
18:17
I'm going to be killed, but on the third day I will be raised.
18:22
Now you will wonder how Peter missed the resurrection in Jesus' explanation.
18:29
So he got the first answer, right?
18:32
Now in this one he's rebuking the Lord saying, literally what Peter is saying, he's not saying
18:37
that you will not be killed, right?
18:40
Peter is actually, he's opposing, right, just in the word, the word Satan there, means to
18:45
oppose.
18:46
He's opposing the death and resurrection, right?
18:50
If Jesus has said, I'm going to die, right?
18:53
I'm going to suffer many things, right?
18:56
You could still take a reason with him and say, okay, well maybe he doesn't want Christ,
19:00
but he said, I will be killed and on the third day I will come back to life.
19:06
So what we can see there is that Peter was not paying attention to the revelation of
19:12
what Christ was giving, right?
19:15
So you know I'm the Christ, right?
19:17
But you need more details.
19:18
You need to grow in this knowledge.
19:19
So I present to you that I would die and I will rise again and you rebuke me.
19:25
Upon what you have said, I am building upon and giving more details.
19:29
Yet you are rebuking me, right?
19:32
So what we see here is that there is need to maintain and grow in the revelation of
19:39
Christ, right?
19:40
There is need to maintain and grow in the revelation of Christ.
19:46
And that is why Ephesians 1, 7, right, would just give us a quick, you know, Ephesians
19:56
1, 17, would say that the God, Paul, pray now, that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ,
20:02
the Father of glory, may give you the spirit of wisdom, right, and of revelation in the
20:08
knowledge of him, which is, we have said and explained that this is actually talking about
20:13
the wisdom that comes from the spirit, right?
20:16
It's talking to believers here, which simply means they have the spirit of God.
20:20
They have the spirit that produces the wisdom, right?
20:24
Well, here he's referring to the wisdom that comes from the spirits, right, right, and
20:29
of the revelation of Christ.
20:32
So Paul is desiring that these Ephesians, they will grow in the knowledge of Christ.
20:40
They will grow in the wisdom of Christ.
20:42
So a believer needs to grow in the wisdom of Christ.
20:44
A believer needs to maintain what you have received.
20:48
And a believer needs to grow in the wisdom of Christ for you to stay on fire, right?
20:53
For you to stay on fire, you need to continue in the revelation of Christ.
20:57
You need to grow in it.
20:58
So what Peter was doing was simply not growing, was simply not paying attention to what Christ
21:04
was saying, because he proclaimed the death and resurrection of this Messiah, of the Son
21:09
of God, right?
21:11
So growth is important, maintaining and growing is important.
21:15
All right, so let's go to another scripture, Acts, let's go to Acts and see another example
21:22
from Peter, another example from Peter.
21:27
The moment you begin to draw back in the revelation of Christ, you begin to doubt it, you begin
21:32
to doubt the activities of the spirit, you will not be able to function well, because
21:37
you are not maintaining.
21:38
So let's go to Acts 10, Acts 10, 27 to 29, Acts 10, 27 to 29.
21:48
We don't have much time to read the whole of Acts chapter 10, but we'll read from verse
21:52
27 towards 33, but you can read the whole of chapter 10.
21:57
He said, And he talked with them, and he went in and found many persons gathered.
22:03
And he said to them, You yourself know how unlawful it is for a Jew to associate with
22:11
or visit anyone of another nation.
22:14
But God has shown me that I should not call any person common or unclean.
22:22
So when I was sent for, I came without objection.
22:26
I asked then, why you sent for me?
22:30
And Cornelius said, For four days about this hour I was praying in my house at the night
22:34
hour, and behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing, and said, Colonials, your
22:39
prayers have been heard, and your arms have been remembered before God.
22:43
Send therefore a joker, send therefore to Joppa, and ask for Simon, who is called Peter, he
22:48
is lodging in the house of Simon, eternal by the sea.
22:52
So I sent for you at once, and you have been kind enough to come now.
22:56
Therefore, we are all here in the presence of God to hear all that you have been commanded
23:02
by the Lord.
23:03
So Peter is saying that I had a vision, and the Lord said I should not call what is common
23:09
what what he has cleansed right unclean, but you know, what he has cleaned what he has
23:13
called clean, I should not call it unclean.
23:16
Now if you read Acts chapter two, verse 39, you can add that scripture to Acts chapter
23:24
two, verse 39, he said, for the promise, right after the event of the day of Pentecost, he
23:32
said, for the promise is for you, and for your children, and for all who are far off,
23:39
everyone whom the Lord God calls to himself.
23:45
And with many order, he bore witnesses and continue to exhort them saying save yourselves
23:52
from the crooked generation.
23:53
So those who received the word were baptized, and they were added that day, about 3000 souls,
24:00
3000 souls.
24:01
So we see that Peter, right, standing with the 11 right, you can read that in verse 14.
24:07
He said that the promise is for you, your children, for everyone who the Lord God calls
24:15
to himself, right, everyone who the Lord calls to himself, which means everyone who the Lord
24:21
permits to come, which is everyone that believes.
24:25
Now after seeing that Peter had an understanding that everyone should be saved, right, everyone
24:30
should be saved, everyone should get his gospel, irrespective of the nation we are from, Acts
24:35
chapter 10.
24:36
Let's look at Acts chapter 11.
24:41
Let's look at Acts chapter 11.
24:43
Acts chapter 11, verse one.
24:46
He said, now the apostles and the brothers who were throughout Judea, right, heard that
24:53
the Gentiles also had received the word of God.
24:57
And when Peter went up to Jerusalem, the circumcision party criticized him, saying, you went to
25:06
circumcise men and it's with them.
25:10
And Peter began and explained it to them in order.
25:15
Again the story then again and again and again.
25:17
Now if you move to verse 17, if you move to verse 17, right, he said, if God gave the
25:27
same gifts to them as he gave to us when we believed in the Lord Jesus, who was I that
25:36
I should stand or I could stand in God's way?
25:40
When they heard these things, they fell silent and they glorified God saying, then to the
25:45
Gentiles also God has granted repentance that leads to life.
25:49
Now in this explanation, you will not know Paul's disposition.
25:54
You will not know Paul's disposition.
25:56
Where you disposition, I mean, is standpoints, right?
25:59
So he kind of tried to excuse himself, right, from the fact that God has also put everybody
26:04
to be saved, right?
26:05
But I've said, you know, God has got everybody to be saved, right, but he stand accused.
26:11
You see that in Galatians, Galatians 2.11, right?
26:15
Galatians 2.11.
26:16
Let's go to Galatians 2.11.
26:19
Galatians 2.11 said, but when Seppas, which is Peter, came to Antioch, right?
26:25
So when he came to Antioch, I oppose him, right, Paul opposing Peter, I oppose him to
26:32
his face because he stood condemned, right, for before certain men came from James, he
26:39
was eating with the Gentiles, but when they came, he drew back and separated himself fearing
26:45
the circumcision party, right?
26:49
And the rest of the Jews acted hypocritically along with him so that even Barnabas was led
26:58
astray by his hypocrisy.
27:00
But when I saw that their conduct was not in step with the truth of the gospel, did
27:07
you see that?
27:08
So when I saw that their conduct is not in step with the truth of the gospel, I said
27:12
to Seppas, which is Peter, before them all, if you do a Jew live like a Gentile and not
27:19
like a Jew, how can you force the Gentiles to live like the Jews?
27:26
Now, Paul was saying that Peter stood condemned, right?
27:30
Peter in his conduct really had to draw back because of the circumcision party, right?
27:38
He had to draw back because of the circumcision party because the law of the Jews, which is
27:43
they shouldn't interact, had not been broken in their minds, right, despite the revelation
27:49
he had received and the knowledge he had.
27:51
So what we can say there is that a believer, right, must intentionally grow in the revelation
28:00
and maintain it and be ready to give a defense, right, for the truth of the gospel in the
28:07
conduct.
28:08
So it's possible for you to shrink at some point in time because you are still doubting,
28:13
maybe you are not well grounded in the revelation that you have received, right?
28:17
It's possible for you to shrink.
28:18
For example, you might be speaking in tongues in the NECF and you get into a place and you
28:23
feel criticized for speaking in tongues, right?
28:26
Someone knows that you are speaking in tongues, the person is accusing and saying, why are
28:29
you speaking in tongues?
28:30
Don't you know that thing has ended?
28:31
Don't you know that thing does not exist?
28:34
Sometimes you might want to shrink, right?
28:36
You might want to shrink.
28:37
That is not maintaining the things of the spirit.
28:41
That is not maintaining the activities of the spirit.
28:43
That is trying to quench it because you stand accused, right?
28:46
Therefore, you need to grow in the knowledge, right?
28:49
So you should know more about the scriptures that explains things about praying in the
28:53
Holy Ghost, right?
28:55
So what we see in the case of Peter is that he stood condemned, he avoided, and he did
28:59
not conduct himself in a way he should have conducted himself, right, despite the revelation
29:04
because people approached him, right?
29:06
And these people criticized him.
29:08
So for believers, we shouldn't be in such a shoes.
29:12
We should be prepared ahead of time by doing so.
29:16
Grown to help us to avoid, of course, Peter across the out of apostles, the groups in
29:23
the church, right up until that's 10, 11.
29:26
And subsequently, we see that the attitude and the conduct of Peter and the other postures
29:31
really changed, right?
29:33
Their practices and their conduct really transformed as they grew in the revelation of Christ,
29:39
right?
29:40
But at this point in time, they were still stopped, right, in many things around the
29:45
Jewish law and the practices and could not defend the gospel.
29:48
So what we can see is for us to stay on fire, to stay on that burning we need, right, to
29:54
continually maintain and grow in the knowledge of Christ so that when we are confronted,
30:00
we are ready to give a defense of the scripture.
30:04
Otherwise, someone can tell you, you know, you can't pray in tongues.
30:08
Someone can tell you, you can't prophesy.
30:10
Someone can, someone can, someone can despise prophecy and it will affect you, right?
30:16
So if you don't grow and maintain the revelation that you have received, someone would despise
30:21
prophecy and you will stop prophesying because the person despises it.
30:26
Someone would despise speaking in tongues and because the person despises it, you will
30:30
stop speaking because you are not maintaining, you are not growing.
30:33
So you should take time out, right, to study the word, right, to know the truth, right,
30:39
as we have delivered onto you and to know those scriptures and have the full assurance
30:45
in your heart pertaining the activities of the Spirit of God, right, pertaining the things
30:52
relating to the Spirit.
30:54
Now still on these, 1 Timothy 4, 14, 2 Timothy 1, 16, right, we will see that Timothy was
31:02
being encouraged in that.
31:04
Timothy was really, really being encouraged in that.
31:06
1 Timothy 4, 14 says, keep close, keep a close watch on yourself and the teaching, persist
31:16
in this for by doing so, you will save both your hearers, both yourself and your hearers.
31:23
Now if you go back to Galatians 2, you will see that Paul could not really save, Peter
31:30
could not really save, I mean, himself and his hearers because, you know, the church
31:36
was still growing at that time in this revelation and understanding that this message is for
31:41
everybody.
31:42
So 2 Galatians 2, 13, Galatians 2, 13, and the rest of the Jews acted hypocritically
31:51
with who?
31:52
With Peter, right, did you see that?
31:55
He said, but when they came, he drew back, he drew back, he slithered away from relating
32:01
with Gentiles and separated himself, fearing the circumcision party, right, this so-called
32:09
circumcision party.
32:11
And the rest of the Jews acted hypocritically along Peter in this context.
32:17
But when I saw that their conduct was not in the step of, in step with the truth of
32:22
the gospel, I said to Peter before them all, you know, then he rebuked Peter.
32:27
We can see that from such a scenario is what's advice and is what's counseling is what's
32:33
instructing rather instructing, that's the word, not advice, is what instructing Timothy
32:38
to say that keep your watch on yourself and the teaching.
32:45
Persist in this.
32:48
So a believer must persist in this.
32:50
Right?
32:51
You must labor in the word for by doing so, you will save both yourself and your hearers.
32:57
So those who see your conducts, right?
32:59
Those who see you're speaking in tongues, those who see your prophecy, right?
33:02
Those who benefit from it, those who are edified by it in the church.
33:06
Right?
33:07
So the conduct, the teaching, the practices, right?
33:11
They in a way encourage others, then encouragement onto others.
33:15
We must maintain it.
33:17
We must persist in this teaching.
33:19
So I want to multi one versus.
33:23
So I'm going to want to see.
33:27
So for this reason, I remind you to find into flame the gift of God, which is in you through
33:34
the lane of my hands.
33:37
For God gave us a spirit, not of fear, but of power of love and self control.
33:44
Right?
33:46
So he said, I remind you.
33:48
I put this right to remember that you should run into flame.
33:54
Right.
33:55
So it's a responsibility of the believer to find into flame.
33:58
Right.
33:59
These gifts that is given to the believer to stay in, in terms with the fire, to be
34:05
born in true learning from the scriptures.
34:08
So what we see is that if we don't continue to maintain the revelation that we have received
34:12
and if we don't grow in it, we don't maintain it means as it has been delivered to you,
34:17
we don't try to add anything, but I don't try to make it sound nice.
34:21
Don't try to package it in any way, just the way it has been taught.
34:25
Right.
34:26
You can teach it.
34:27
All we're teaching is what has been taught by some people and as they pass on to some
34:31
people and as they pattern and has been passed on to us and confirmed, verified by the scriptures
34:36
and we see that.
34:37
Right.
34:38
So you continue in such a revelation.
34:40
It preserves you.
34:41
Right.
34:42
It preserves you.
34:43
It keeps you on fire.
34:44
It saves you from James Sears saves you from in sears.
34:49
Hallelujah.
34:51
So this is what we see in the first aspect that maintaining and growing in the revelation
34:56
of Christ, right.
34:57
We'll keep on fire, right.
34:59
It encourages you to practice things all the more, right.
35:03
To practice the activities of the spirit all the more.
35:05
You don't doubt it, right.
35:06
You don't doubt it.
35:07
There was a time actually, right.
35:10
When I first heard about the teaching of praying in tongues and all of that, right.
35:15
For many years I had this teaching, right.
35:18
And this teaching was just there laying in my head and I never prayed the holy book,
35:22
right.
35:23
I never prayed the holy book.
35:24
I've heard it.
35:25
I never prayed the holy book.
35:26
But the more I continued, continued, continued to study, to study, to maintain, the more
35:33
I grew in faith towards that.
35:36
And I began to pray in the holy books, right.
35:38
I began to pray in the holy books.
35:39
So this is showing that for us to practice we must continue in revelation.
35:43
The same thing with prophets, the same thing with other activities of the spirit.
35:47
Now the other one is the next thing we're just going to talk about briefly, right.
35:52
Briefly is actually rejoicing and praying, right.
35:57
We can just put it to rejoice and I'm praying.
35:59
Jude 17 and 20, 1st Thessalonians 5, 16 and 18.
36:04
Rejoicing and praying.
36:06
Rejoicing and praying, right.
36:07
I really put them together intentionally rejoicing and praying because this helps the believer
36:14
to be on fire.
36:15
Now what rejoicing and praying does is it shifts you away from grumbling.
36:20
It shifts you away from murmuring, right.
36:24
It shifts you away from signs of unbelief, right.
36:28
Signs of unbelief.
36:29
It shifts you away from grumbling to every sign of unbelief, right.
36:35
So, read Jude 17, the popular scripture that we know of, right.
36:39
Very popular scripture.
36:40
It just says, Jude 17 says, but you must remember, beloved, the predictions of the apostles of
36:47
our Lord Jesus Christ, right.
36:50
I'm not really in the right place.
36:53
Yes, I'm in the right place.
36:56
So they said to you, in the last time they will be scoffers following their own ungodly
37:00
passion.
37:01
It is this who caused the visions, worldly people, devoid of the spirit, right.
37:07
But you, beloved, building yourself up in your most holy faith, praying in the Holy
37:14
Ghost, right.
37:15
Praying in the Holy Ghost.
37:16
Building yourself up.
37:17
So building yourself up to stay on fire, you need to pray in the Holy Spirit, right.
37:21
You need to pray in the Holy Ghost and you need to rejoice always.
37:24
You need to rejoice always because it saves you away from unbelief, right.
37:29
It saves you away from doubting the pains of the spirit.
37:33
It saves you away from, these are actually activities on the spirit.
37:36
So it's more like saying that practice, right.
37:40
It's more like saying just practice, practice it, right.
37:42
Practice rejoice and let it be all the time you are rejoicing in the Holy Ghost.
37:47
You are rejoicing not because things, you know, in the natural, right, in the flesh,
37:50
right, are really okay, right.
37:52
That has nothing to do with your level of rejoicing, right.
37:55
I've thought on Ephesians before, sorry, from Philippians on rejoicing, on joy, right, despite
38:02
the challenges that Paul was facing.
38:04
He was rejoicing everywhere and telling the people to rejoice for him and to rejoice with
38:09
him despite being in prison.
38:10
So we rejoice in the Holy Ghost.
38:12
We rejoice in it.
38:13
And he said rejoicing in the Holy Ghost and we are holding a meeting in church.
38:17
It's not, it's not like you don't need to wait for things to be okay.
38:23
Like you don't need to wait for the things in the natural to be fine.
38:25
It's not about the things in the natural.
38:27
It's about your identity.
38:28
It's about your position.
38:30
It's about who you are in Christ.
38:32
It's about what you can do in Christ.
38:34
It's about the spirit that is in you.
38:36
That is where rejoicing comes from.
38:38
The spirit within comes out and you rejoice in the Holy Ghost.
38:42
So we can rejoice in the Holy Ghost because this is part of the activities of the spirit
38:46
as we see in 1 Thessalonians 5, 17, right.
38:50
We just see that in 1 Thessalonians 5, it says rejoice always.
38:54
Rejoice always.
38:55
Right.
38:56
And we see that following in say pray without season.
38:59
So these are things that would help us, right, to stay on fire.
39:03
To stay on fire, not grumbling, not complaining, not mumbling, not raising doubts.
39:07
Because when you don't rejoice and you don't pray the Holy Ghost, doubts automatically
39:11
set in.
39:12
Right.
39:13
So these are antidotes to doubts.
39:15
These are antidotes to, you know, things that can derail you from practicing the things
39:23
of the spirit.
39:24
The next one we can say not neglecting the guardian of the brethren, right.
39:28
Hebrews 10, 25, Jennifer 25, right.
39:31
Not neglecting the guardian of the brethren.
39:33
So not neglecting the guardian.
39:34
It helps you to stay on fire.
39:36
So you can add Matthew 18, 20 to it.
39:40
Matthew 18, 20.
39:43
Not neglecting.
39:45
Now Christian meeting is actually God ordained.
39:50
I think we should say that.
39:52
That's yeah, I heard that somewhere and I think we can say that Christian meetings is
39:55
God ordained.
39:57
Okay.
39:58
Christian meeting is God ordained.
40:00
It is not about whether you feel good about it or you don't feel good about it.
40:06
It is not about, it's not about how you feel.
40:11
It's not about how your day was that determines whether you come to Christian guardian.
40:17
It is a must to come to believers meeting, like to come to Christian guardian, whether
40:21
it's believers meeting, whether it's the ministers that are ministering, right.
40:25
Whether it's a prayer meeting.
40:27
It is a must.
40:30
And let me also say that you cannot, you don't judge Christian guardian.
40:35
A believers guardian where the word is taught and prayer is prayed.
40:39
You don't judge it by your feelings.
40:41
Some people come to judge.
40:42
I think also Victor had said this several times.
40:45
That you don't judge the Sunday service by how you feel, right.
40:50
You feel, oh, today's service, you know, it was cool, right.
40:54
And another day you don't feel it.
40:56
So you're talking about the entire service, right.
40:59
It was just the, no, because it is service unto God, right.
41:03
It is service unto God.
41:04
So priests will say, ah, today's, today's smoke did not go well, it did not smell.
41:09
Priests don't do that.
41:10
It's an offering unto God, right.
41:12
And there's a service unto God.
41:14
So when it comes to believers meeting, right, we don't neglect it.
41:18
We are always around.
41:19
We don't say, oh, because I don't feel like coming.
41:22
You don't go to believers meeting with your mood or for your mood.
41:25
No, no, no.
41:26
It's an instruction to not neglect.
41:28
It's an instruction.
41:29
So it means it's not an advice.
41:30
And it says that it is the habit of some people, right.
41:35
It is the habit of some people, right.
41:37
It's an instruction.
41:38
So believers meeting is one of the areas where you can be on fire, right.
41:43
When you start neglecting it, then definitely you would lose your strength.
41:47
You will lose your zeal.
41:48
You will lose everything that you think you have been, you know, moving towards.
41:53
Now, one of the challenges is that we always think these things are routine.
41:57
But surely what keeps a believer's life, I think we should write it, is the routine,
42:03
is the continuity in what we do, right.
42:06
The repetition is what keeps a believer continuing to be on fire, right.
42:12
So you keep putting oil in the lamp, the light keeps burning.
42:16
Keep putting oil in the lamp.
42:18
So the repetition of your activities, not neglecting the guardian of the believer, maintaining
42:24
and growing in the revelation of Christ, praying in the Holy Ghost and rejoice.
42:28
It is that consistency that keeps us going.
42:32
Okay.
42:33
It is the consistency that keeps us going.
42:36
What have we been doing a long time?
42:37
We morning devotion, you study your word in the morning, you go out, you come in the evening,
42:42
you listen to message, you pray.
42:44
It is that thing.
42:45
Don't make, don't be bored.
42:46
Don't ever be bored.
42:47
Don't be bored.
42:48
They give you many messages to listen.
42:50
Never be bored of these activities.
42:52
Like when you are getting bored, that is when it is entering you.
42:56
Then you press more into it.
42:58
Okay.
42:59
When you are feeling like, oh, it's like we are doing too much.
43:01
We are getting stressed.
43:03
That is when it is entering.
43:05
That is when you should put more effort into, oh, I'm getting tired.
43:09
Suss yourself to do it.
43:11
So it is the consistency, the routine activity, right.
43:16
That makes you stay on fire.
43:20
Now you don't complain about registering your semester in the semester.
43:23
You don't complain about going to school every day.
43:25
You don't complain about many activities.
43:27
You don't complain about eating every day.
43:29
You don't complain about many other activities.
43:31
So you shouldn't complain about the activities that keeps you going.
43:35
Studying, playing, rejoicing, not neglecting.
43:38
You have to push yourself to do them.
43:41
So the point line is that believers, you know, we continue in the routine.
43:46
We grow through this routine, right.
43:49
We grow through this.
43:50
There are many times we have, we have length, you know, many things, there are many teachings
43:54
we were in and consistently staying in the place of the world, we are delivered from,
44:03
you know, wrong teachings, right.
44:06
Consistently staying in the place of the world, having that attitude for years, delivered
44:11
us from many teachings, right.
44:12
So if you don't constantly stay, you cannot go in the world.
44:17
So routine is normal for a believer, right.
44:20
It's a lifetime routine, it's a continuous routine.
44:22
You don't get tired of it.
44:24
There's no way to spice it up than to continue to do it, right.
44:29
That's it.
44:30
You just continue to do it.
44:32
Now the last one I'll just talk about is the, is not despising prophecy.
44:39
And I just intentionally put that as the last, right.
44:44
Not despising, not despising prophecy.
44:46
I will go to 1 Thessalonians 5, which is the case with this other ones.
44:52
I put them as just preamble.
44:54
So let's go to 1 Thessalonians 5.
44:59
And that is where he says, do not despise prophecy, but test everything, hold fast what
45:07
is good, right.
45:08
Because that is the context of where we expanded and brought it back to that point, right.
45:13
So do not despise prophecy.
45:14
So we said that it means not to take prophecies, to despise means to take, not to take something
45:21
serious, to mock something, to make fun of something, right.
45:25
To mock something, to make fun of something.
45:27
Why should a believer not despise prophecy?
45:29
Now when you receive a word of a word of prophecy, maybe there's a believers meeting and you
45:33
receive a word of prophecy, right.
45:35
All you should do is to rejoice.
45:37
Why should you not despise it, right.
45:41
When you despise prophecy, right, when you despise prophecy, what you are doing, hmm,
45:48
when you despise prophets, what you are doing is you are depriving yourself of being edified.
45:56
So when you despise prophecy, you deprive yourself of being edified.
45:59
That is the first thing you should know.
46:02
When you take prophecy as for fun and you don't take it serious, you deprive yourself
46:07
of being edified.
46:08
you are not edifying prophecy
46:10
is for your edification right.
46:13
It is for your edification
46:14
therefore you don't despise it
46:16
right when the word of god
46:17
comes to you. So you know you
46:19
say oh you are you are
46:21
analyzing it in your head
46:22
right you analyze for example
46:24
maybe uh someone give you a
46:26
word you just came back from
46:27
seven days of fasting you have
46:29
thoughts all through the
46:30
meetings you have been all
46:32
night prayers you have been
46:33
praying you have been you have
46:37
been on fire and someone comes
46:39
to you and say I feel within my
46:42
spirit that's uh the lord wants
46:46
you to really go deep in the
46:48
world right really go deep in
46:49
the world and go in the world
46:52
and the moment that person says
46:53
that your response is do you
46:55
know what I've been doing for
46:57
the past seven days or maybe
46:58
you could you didn't say it out
46:59
but you feel within you and
47:01
say me that I've been on fire
47:03
for seven days you know I've
47:06
been on fire you know rather
47:07
than paying attention right
47:11
you are not taking that word
47:12
very seriously right but you
47:15
are using oh since I've been on
47:17
fire for seven days what is
47:18
this person saying but this guy
47:20
is not solid you know he's so
47:22
it's not solid or getting you
47:24
are despising prophecy you are
47:26
depriving yourself of being
47:28
identified by what that that
47:29
minister is saying right so when
47:33
you are in the world you are
47:35
rejoicing right oh you say oh
47:37
you are you are you are you are
47:39
you have been you have been
47:40
studying you have been praying
47:41
for seven days or he's telling
47:42
you good you mean that there is
47:43
a there is more in the
47:46
revelation of Christ that will
47:47
be given on to you so you
47:48
rejoice and say yes I go to
47:50
the world I increase in the
47:52
world that was what happened to
47:53
Peter I think that would have
47:54
said he could have just
47:56
received the words of Christ
47:57
and not rebuke Christ. So what
48:01
is this person saying it is for
48:03
your edification right it is
48:06
your edification so let's let's
48:10
put something again it says
48:12
that. The next verse right the
48:15
next verse from verse verse
48:19
twenty-one except for testing
48:20
everything all fast what is
48:22
good right testing everything
48:25
but over the word test there
48:30
is no right to test something
48:34
means is not is not we are not
48:35
trying to say to check us like
48:37
saying people actually
48:39
interpret these as to mean
48:41
that. As to mean that. We are
48:47
actually when the when the
48:49
prophecy is given they do not
48:50
check. Is this professing good
48:53
or evil right then when I test
48:55
it then I'll know whether to
49:00
test it or not. The way he's
49:02
evil right because it's it's
49:04
in everything. Old fast what is
49:06
good and abstain from every
49:09
form of evil right abstain from
49:11
every form of evil now. It was
49:13
it because it's at is it
49:15
follows up immediately after
49:17
do not despise proper sign you
49:18
now say tests. Everything right
49:21
test everything old fast what
49:24
is good and I'm so so it means
49:25
that when you check it you
49:28
know it's not the way I really
49:30
don't know which way you're
49:31
using but when you not
49:33
discovered at one province you
49:34
know you remove that prophecy
49:36
and you take part of it now
49:37
that's not what he's saying
49:39
that's not it's not saying this
49:41
is the same word that is used
49:43
to prove which means to put
49:46
something into practice to
49:49
present that something is good
49:50
right test everything it means
49:52
to practice everything put
49:57
something into practice to
49:59
prove that isn't it's already
50:02
right now we see this in
50:05
Romans twelve verse two that
50:06
you may be able to prove that
50:08
which is acceptable to God
50:10
right. Romans just let me drive
50:12
Romans twelve verse two.
50:17
Romans twelve verse two. Do
50:18
not be converted to the world
50:20
but transformed by the renewing
50:21
of your mind that's by testing
50:25
the things that are not
50:27
acceptable good and so this one
50:29
also use the word testing but
50:30
it's actually the word truth
50:33
right to present right to
50:35
manifest right and to show that
50:37
in this thing is good right so
50:41
when we practice them just as
50:42
quickly to connect to the things
50:44
of the spirit when practice the
50:45
things of the spirits right we
50:46
are not trying are you trying
50:48
to test tongues whether it's
50:49
correct or wrong I'm trying to
50:50
test prophets you're not testing
50:52
from are you trying to test
50:53
whether it's correct whether
50:55
it's wrong whether it's
50:56
wrong. So, I'm just speaking in
50:57
tongues because he's a
50:59
presentation that this is good
51:01
it is acceptable this is the
51:05
good thing right so what he's
51:07
saying here is not saying to
51:09
check provinces and to examine
51:10
and this is them and analyze
51:12
provisional is input them to
51:14
practice put them to action
51:16
right by doing that you will
51:18
present the good that is in
51:20
them and he said abstain from
51:22
every appearance of evil right
51:25
verse fifteen you will see the
51:26
appearance of evil in verse
51:29
fifteen is not saying that in
51:32
prophecies evil prophecy is not
51:34
evil there's no evil in that
51:35
prophecy right there's no evil
51:38
in that prophecy please read
51:40
verse fifteen see that no one
51:42
repays anyone evil for evil is
51:45
that a prophecy no but always
51:48
seek to do good right to one
51:53
thing evil is talking about is
51:55
not talking about somebody gave
51:57
you of us know that's not that's
51:59
that's not it we know that
52:02
prophecy is the revelation of
52:05
Christ right the testimony of
52:06
Christ right we see that the
52:07
testimony of Christ is the
52:09
spirit of prophecy right so
52:11
what is being ministered to is
52:13
the spirit of Christ right when
52:15
we minister to each other in
52:16
prophecy is the spirit of Christ
52:17
will minister to each other
52:19
right in prophecy is actually
52:23
the person who is found in the
52:24
spirit of Christ so when we
52:25
talk about prophecy is talking
52:27
about ministry by the things of
52:29
the spirit to you and if the
52:32
person is not ministering the
52:33
things of the spirit to you
52:34
then that is something else we
52:36
cannot call even call it
52:37
prophecy whatever the person
52:39
would like to call it can call
52:40
it but when the person is
52:42
ministering the spirit of Christ
52:43
to you that is prophecy so
52:45
there is no evil in the
52:47
ministration of the things of
52:49
the spirit of Christ there's no
52:52
evil in the ministry of Christ
52:55
right. So, I'm saying abstain
52:56
from every evil meaning evil
52:58
prophecy maybe someone say I
53:00
see you. You I see accidents. I
53:02
said no no no no that's not
53:03
what they're talking about you
53:05
say oh don't take that one that
53:06
is evil and take the one that
53:08
says I see you making millions
53:10
I see you you know winning
53:12
elections kind of a thing I see
53:13
you kind of. You know passing
53:16
your exams and that's a good
53:18
one you take that one and when
53:20
you take that one you take the
53:22
one that says I see you. You
53:24
see that's a conclusion of what
53:26
he has been saying from verse
53:28
twelve right a conclusion of
53:30
what he has been saying from
53:32
verse twelve to verse twenty
53:34
two actually that is that last
53:36
verse twenty right so sorry
53:39
this twenty one is a summary of
53:41
it but practice everything
53:44
right old fast to this that is
53:46
good all those that you are
53:50
talking about don't be evil to
53:51
the cost above don't pay evil
53:54
to each other right he's
53:55
already revealing what's evil
53:57
is it but always seek to do
53:59
good you already talked about
54:00
good and evil above so when it
54:02
comes down to that part where
54:03
he's concluding this context
54:05
it's not talking about you know
54:07
trying to you know pieces
54:09
prophecy. Cherry pick things
54:12
from prophecy and so you know
54:13
that's not what they're saying
54:14
right but the same we should
54:18
be saying right in the body of
54:20
Christ you receive it with
54:22
rejoicing okay you receive it
54:24
with rejoicing because the
54:26
president's mainstream the
54:28
spirit of Christ so you thank
54:29
god you are growing and you are
54:30
maintaining the spirit of
54:32
Christ are maintaining the
54:33
knowledge so you know the
54:34
spirit of Christ right you
54:35
receive it with rejoicing. You
54:39
don't you don't you don't
54:41
participate and this is
54:42
another thing you don't
54:43
participate online in bad
54:46
communication. You don't
54:47
participate online. Let me use
54:50
that scripture that they said
54:51
is the scripture that we read
54:53
right where we probably have to
54:55
take us to where we investigate
54:56
it from that is not from you
54:59
know any the extra biblical
55:00
material that says bad for bad
55:02
communication corrupt manners
55:05
let me also use and borrow
55:06
knowledge from that place that
55:08
when you join in part mountain
55:09
the things of the spirits right
55:11
when you join in same prophecy
55:16
you know in the spirit what
55:18
you are doing is that you will
55:19
not be able to conduct yourself
55:20
you will misconduct yourself in
55:23
the body of Christ right so
55:24
when you are we are prophesied
55:26
to you rejoice you receive it
55:27
with rejoicing you also
55:29
prophesied you put it into
55:30
practice right you put it into
55:32
practice is not by your
55:34
feeling you don't judge
55:35
prophecy by your feeling you
55:36
don't judge prophecy by you
55:38
know how begin to analyze it in
55:40
your head no. You just rejoice
55:44
and you are not justified I'm
55:46
strengthened or you might not
55:47
be feeling tired you say oh I'm
55:49
not feeling tired but this
55:50
person saying I need strength
55:51
I'm strong you can you can
55:54
know you are depriving yourself
55:56
of the strength that is coming
55:58
you say oh I'm not confused
56:00
so I'm coming you better
56:02
receive it with thanksgiving
56:04
because it is a prophecy it's a
56:05
word the time we'll spend more
56:07
time and talk about prophecy
56:09
much more but the the emphasis
56:13
is on the prophecy there is no
56:15
evil you receive it with
56:17
rejoicing and you jump up
56:19
because you know what's
56:20
prophecy is now. Praise god so
56:23
I just pray that we'll continue
56:24
to stay on fire for god will
56:26
continue to maintain the
56:28
routine that a believer needs
56:30
right we know the routine and
56:31
we have to continue there so
56:33
you don't be bored don't
56:34
discard yourself from the
56:36
routine right when it becomes
56:37
everything continue in it so I
56:39
don't want there was a time we
56:40
used to say oh I don't want to
56:43
be bored I don't want to be
56:44
busy you are missing of your
56:45
devotion it's true right it's
56:47
true you are causing for
56:48
yourself let it continue let
56:50
it continue it should become a
56:51
routine right it will become a
56:53
routine sometimes you say I'm
56:54
not feeling it don't it's not
56:56
about your keep doing it you
56:58
don't have to feel it just keep
56:59
