0:06
designed to uplift and strengthen you in your
0:09
walk with God. Don't miss out. Stay with us until
0:13
the end for a rewarding experience. Let's dive
0:17
right in. Hallelujah. Praise God. So we'll just
0:25
quickly continue like I said. that we're just
0:28
having an introduction. We'll finish the introduction
0:30
today. And when next we meet, we'll talk more
0:34
on the name of Jesus, right? Yes, so prior to
0:39
now, there's nothing called the name of Jesus
0:41
prior to the coming of Christ, right? There was
0:45
nothing called the name of Jesus. There was nothing
0:48
in the name. Prophet Elijah will not say, I call
0:52
down rain in the name of who? In the name of
0:55
Jesus. Hallelujah. Yeah, so Moses will not part
0:58
the sea in the name of what? Jesus said, this
1:02
rod that I carry, I strike the sea in the name
1:06
of, oh ye red sea, hear the voice of God and
1:10
in the name of Jesus, you will divide. Bah, no.
1:14
Amen. Prior to now, Jeremiah will not come and
1:17
say, in the name of Jesus, I prophesy. No. Jonah
1:25
will not be called to send an assignment to Nineveh
1:28
to preach the gospel and then in the name of
1:31
Jesus. There was nothing called in the what?
1:34
In the name of Jesus. All we see, all we hear,
1:39
all we read are all prophecies that have been
1:42
spoken about who? About Christ. Hallelujah. So
1:46
what do we see? Let me put it this way. All that
1:49
we see from the Old Testament that have been
1:51
prophesied, right? Or let me put it this way
1:54
carefully. All that we see in the Old Testament
1:57
are prophetic words about the name of who? The
2:01
name of Jesus. Amen? Do you understand what I
2:04
just said now? All that we read or all that has
2:08
been said, all the prophecies in the Old Testament
2:11
are about the name of who? The name of Jesus.
2:15
In the Old Testament, you won't see in my name.
2:17
Hallelujah. Are we all here? So in the Old Testament,
2:21
you won't see what? You won't see anybody, you
2:24
know, doing anything in the name of who? In the
2:27
name of Jesus. But all we see are prophecies.
2:30
That's what we read on Sunday in Luke, right?
2:34
Yeah, ought not Christ to have suffered and to
2:36
enter into his what? Glory. So all that the prophets
2:39
have prophesied concerning who? Concerning me.
2:42
Praise God. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Yeah, so
2:46
why are we seen in the name? We are seeing in
2:49
the name now, in the New Testament, right? I'm
2:53
using this separation carefully now. In the New
2:56
Testament, because now, that which has been prophesied
2:59
has been what? Has been fulfilled. Amen? That
3:03
which has been prophesied from the Old Testament,
3:05
now by the prophets, has been what? Fulfilled.
3:08
Praise God. And now, those things that the prophets
3:12
have spoken, right? Just part of them. What we
3:16
see that we say in Matthew, Mark, Luke, John,
3:19
the fulfillment more had to do with the incarnation
3:22
of Christ. Amen? But now the authority in the
3:26
name of Jesus, right? The fulfillment now is
3:29
when? After the resurrection. Praise God. So
3:33
the authority, let me use the word, the legal
3:36
authority giving for the name of Jesus to be
3:39
in function on the earth, right? Started after
3:44
what? After the resurrection of Christ Jesus.
3:47
Hallelujah. Glory to Jesus. Hallelujah. Yes.
3:51
So, we need to put this so that in the Old Testament,
3:54
all we see is what? Prophecies. Hallelujah. Matthew,
3:58
Mark, Luke, eyewitness account about what? Jesus
4:01
is humanity, right? And it's the work of ministry.
4:05
So, we see just a part of the prophecies that
4:07
have been spoken. Right now in fulfillment because
4:09
Jesus has been born. Amen. And then we see the
4:12
work of his ministry on the earth. Praise God.
4:14
But is that actually where the name of Jesus
4:16
is? No. Praise God. But now we see now from the
4:20
prophecy, little has been prophesied. Now we
4:23
see his suffering because the prophecy is specific.
4:26
Ought not Christ to have what? Suffered, right?
4:30
He will die. He will be buried. And the third
4:33
day he will be what? So you see there is emphasis.
4:37
on that which Christ is making regarding what
4:40
ought to be fulfilled. So that remission and
4:42
repentance, right, of sins can be preached to
4:46
how many nations? All nations. And that now we
4:48
see it happening after what? The resurrection.
4:51
Hallelujah. So Elijah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Moses,
4:56
all of them never used the name of Jesus. All
4:59
of them prophesied about what? The name of Jesus.
5:02
Hallelujah. Glory to God. Glory to God. So question
5:06
which we'll address later, does it mean that
5:09
now when they, all the mighty power they commanded,
5:12
all the things they did, they were doing it in
5:14
whose name? In whose authority? Who gave them
5:18
that authority to do it? Hallelujah. Now that
5:20
is a big question somebody will have. Amen? Because
5:24
if you are saying that, we are the ones now,
5:26
we should preach in the name. We should cast
5:28
out devil. So those guys, what were they using?
5:31
Hallelujah. Praise God. And we said Elijah prayed
5:35
in James chapter 5. Elijah prayed fervently.
5:37
A man like us, right? There will not be rain.
5:40
And rain ceased. And he prayed again. Rain came.
5:44
Oh, what such a power. Do you know when you do
5:46
that in this season? You meet our president,
5:49
President Erhuman. Right? And you just say, at
5:53
my words. This season, there will not be summer
5:56
again. For the next three months. And then, rain
6:02
starts. At the end of the summer, the three months,
6:06
you say, add my words. Let the rain stop. What
6:10
do you think will happen in this country? No,
6:14
no, let's just start. What do you think will
6:15
happen? Victory. I will use you because you are
6:19
revolutionaries. So let's assume that happened
6:25
to you. What do you think will happen in this
6:26
country? Okay, all attention will be on him,
6:29
yes? They will give him... They will believe
6:33
what you believe, okay? Yes, now don't be shy.
6:36
Now don't be shy. Doctor, what do you think will
6:37
happen? Nothing will happen. Okay. That's good.
6:42
Yes, what do you think will happen? Okay, they
6:44
will protect you to see how reliable you are.
6:48
Okay? Hallelujah. But do you know there will
6:51
be chaos in this island? Especially you will
6:54
be picked and kept somewhere for observation.
6:59
How is it possible? That you had all boldness
7:02
to walk to the presidency, say there will not
7:05
be this, and it happened, and then yet you come.
7:08
Is that not power? No, now, talk to me now. Is
7:12
that not power? It's power. I'm saying it now
7:15
because I said something that somebody will ask.
7:17
If Elijah could use this, you know, demonstrate
7:20
this mighty power, and yet not in the name, then
7:24
on whose authority was he what? Was he doing
7:27
that? It's a big question you're supposed to
7:28
ask. Hallelujah. So when we come fully, now we'll
7:32
talk why that happened. Hallelujah. Good. So,
7:36
that's one part. Second part now is, we said
7:40
the name Onoma or the meaning of Onoma is what?
7:43
No, now let's look at our notes. Okay, open book
7:46
exams. Let's look at our notes. Yes, open book
7:49
exams. Onoma. Eh? No, don't go the other, first
7:53
Onoma. It's Pastor Ema here. Let's just close
7:57
this service. Onoma. Onoma. Did you write anything?
8:01
Okay, yes. Okay, what is Onoma? Eh? Proper names,
8:05
right? First, right? Eh, it is yes now. Koston.
8:09
Peter. Chokobleke. Uzaya. Proper names. Praise
8:15
God. But now we now say figuratively, it will
8:18
mean what? Office, authority, function, ability,
8:22
position, yes? Character. So do you think if
8:27
we are saying in the name of Jesus, are we dealing
8:30
with proper names or we are talking about figurative,
8:33
function, office, character, ability? What do
8:36
you think we'll be discussing? So why do you
8:39
think we'll not talk about his office function?
8:41
Why do you think that we should be talking about
8:43
his name, Jesus? Proper name. Why do you think
8:46
we should just focus on proper name? All, sir.
8:52
Both either in English or Greek or... Why do
8:55
you think if we should focus, why do you want
8:58
to focus on function of his rather than propane?
9:02
Because he's not what? Huh? I don't know. We'll
9:06
collect the money. You know, a man of God wants
9:14
to be the cashier. Praise God. Because it's not
9:21
only Jesus. Because when we check Jesus meets
9:24
Joshua, prior to now, we had Joshua's on the
9:27
land. Praise God. Yes, we had Joshua's on the
9:32
land. From the Old Testament, were there not
9:35
Joshua's? We had Joshua's. There were people
9:38
with the name Jesus. Even today, my brother's
9:42
name is Jesus. Praise God. But is he walking
9:46
on water? Is he dying and suffering and entering
9:49
into glory? Praise God. In fact, during Jesus'
9:53
time, there were people who were named what?
9:56
Jesus. Praise God. Even after Jesus' time in
10:00
Acts of the Apostles, there were people who were
10:01
named what? Jesus. So it means that there is
10:06
more that we are looking at than just what? Proper
10:10
name. Jesus. Jesus. Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
10:15
To just specify that he came from Nazareth. It's
10:19
not the naming we learned, right? Both in the
10:22
cell meeting, even in the church here. It's not
10:24
the naming. There is more the believer needs
10:28
to know about what the name of Jesus is. Because
10:32
that's where authority is. The prayers we just
10:34
had today about the boldness that will come upon
10:36
us. In fact, we are going to read that place.
10:38
It's part of the scriptures we are going to read.
10:40
He said that, you know, he said, Grant unto thy
10:42
servant, what? Boldness. Acts chapter 4. Right?
10:45
That by the name of thy holy child, Jesus, thy
10:49
healing be what? Be done. Hallelujah. So the
10:53
gospel will be preached and healings will take
10:55
place by the name of what? But you see, when
10:58
the apostles were talking about by the name of
11:00
that holy child Jesus, they were not talking
11:02
about the name. Praise God. They had a proper
11:05
understanding of what? Of what they were praying
11:08
or what they were saying. So if they were in
11:11
our midst today, right? And we say the name of
11:14
Jesus, they will not take it as proper name of
11:17
Jesus. Praise God. Do you know why? Pastor Fred
11:21
taught us. Because in Acts chapter 1, those 30
11:24
days that he took to teach them, those were the
11:27
things that they learned from it. So they will
11:30
not be just saying that in the name of Jesus
11:33
as proper name. No. Because already now they
11:36
know that Jesus has already brought to their
11:38
understanding, right? That it behoved that he
11:43
be suffered to die and be raised the third day,
11:45
right? And from that, now the result of all those
11:49
events is that in my name. So if they were praying
11:53
or if they, in Acts chapter 4, they are praying
11:55
that by the name of the Holy Child, Jesus. In
11:59
fact, let's read it this way so that you understand.
12:02
Acts chapter 4, verse 24, everybody. And when
12:07
they heard that, they lifted up their voice to
12:10
God with one accord and said, Lord, thou art
12:13
God, which has made heaven and the earth and
12:15
the sea. Did they say that they were against
12:32
them? Did they say they were against them? See
12:35
what they said. Against who and who? That the
12:38
priests and all the rulers are against who? Against
12:41
the Lord, right? They were against Jesus Christ.
12:44
Praise God. Good. Perfect. So which means the
12:47
believer, right, on the earth, his assignment
12:50
and function is not for him. Praise God. 2 Corinthians
12:53
chapter 5 says that we are ambassadors for who?
12:55
For Christ. Amen. Good. So now, see now, 26.
12:59
The kings of the earth stood and then the rulers
13:01
were gathered together against the Lord and against
13:03
his Christ. 27. See. For a truth against thy
13:07
holy, what? Child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed,
13:11
both Herod and Pontius Pilate with the Gentiles
13:13
and the people of Israel were gathered, what?
13:15
Who are they gathered against? Against Jesus.
13:18
Hallelujah. Does this look like Mark chapter
13:45
16 and then Luke chapter 24? Let's go to Luke
13:50
chapter. So put your hands in that Acts chapter
13:52
4 that we read and then put that verse 29, right?
13:57
Heal and signs and wonders may be done by the
14:00
name of what? Thy holy child, what? Jesus. So
14:03
underline that word by the name of thy holy child,
14:05
Jesus. Right? Good. We know the name of Jesus.
14:09
His proper name is what? Jesus. Right? Good.
14:12
Let's go to Luke chapter 24, everybody. Verse
14:15
47. And that repentance and remission of sins
14:19
shall be preached in what? In his name among
14:23
what? All nations beginning at? To 46, everybody,
14:27
46. And said unto them, Thus it is written, Thus
14:32
and thus it behoved Christ to suffer and to rise
14:35
from the dead, the what? What was written? Let's
14:39
go up to 44. And he said unto them, These are
14:42
the words which I speak unto you while I was
14:45
yet with you, that all things must be what? Fulfilled.
14:51
Right? Which were written in the law of Moses
14:54
and in the prophets and in the Psalms and what
14:56
concerning who? So what were the things written
14:58
now? 45. Then opened he their understanding that
15:02
they might understand the what? The scriptures.
15:04
Amen? Good. So 46. What were the things that
15:07
were written? He said, thus it is written. And
15:10
thus it behooved Christ to suffer and to rise
15:13
from the dead, the what? So here was written
15:15
by Moses. What was written by Moses? Christ will
15:20
suffer, yes? Good. And then from there, now 47,
15:23
let's read all together. And that repentance
15:26
and remission of sins shall be what? In his name
15:29
to what? To all nations, right? Beginning at
15:33
what? At Jerusalem, right? So everybody now,
15:36
carry verse 46. Verse 46, that says, thus it
15:42
is written, thus it behoove Christ to suffer
15:44
and to rise from the dead. The what? The third
15:48
day. Carry that place and put it in Acts chapter
15:51
4, right? Verse 30, by stretching forth thy hand
15:56
to heal and the signs and wonders may be done
16:00
as a result of Christ's death and resurrection.
16:05
From what? From the dead. Hallelujah. Because
16:10
that is why, this is the understanding the apostles
16:12
had. Their function or the work of ministry in
16:16
their hands was not as a result of using the
16:19
proper name of who? Of Jesus. 36. Everybody go
16:24
to 45. Luke chapter 24 verse 45. That is what
16:27
the apostles were using. Luke chapter 24 verse
16:30
45. Then opening here they are what? Understanding
16:34
that they might understand the what? The scriptures.
16:37
So the apostles, were sanctioning as a result
16:41
of understanding of what? Of the scriptures.
16:45
So what I just said now in summary, that the
16:48
believer's authority, right, is resting upon
16:52
the understanding of what? Of the scriptures.
16:55
What is written in the scriptures? That Christ
16:57
will suffer, right, and he will die, be buried,
17:02
and he will be raised of what? The third day.
17:05
That's where the authority of the believer lies.
17:08
You see, if you pay attention, when they gathered
17:10
in Acts chapter 4, they didn't say that the princes
17:14
and the rulers were gathering against us. Come
17:18
on Lord, look at us. Pity us. These people are
17:21
fighting against us. Is that what they said?
17:23
No. In fact, the next verse, they said they have
17:27
ganged up against Jesus Christ. Glory to Jesus.
17:32
Good. So, that's the second thing now that I
17:35
just said, right? Yeah, so first thing that I
17:38
started by saying is prior to now in the Old
17:40
Testament, nobody is talking about in the name
17:43
of what? Jesus. I established that, right? Good.
17:46
So are we all there on the same page? Don't worry.
17:48
When we come properly, we'll go to that place
17:50
and then walk through. Then now we're establishing
17:52
also that now what we see is not about the proper
17:56
name of what? The proper name of Jesus. But rather,
17:59
the apostles were functioning from what? Understanding.
18:03
Understanding of what? The scriptures. What scriptures?
18:06
What is written about who? About Christ. That
18:09
it behooves Christ to suffer, to die, and to
18:12
be raised from what? From the dead. Do we understand
18:15
this so far? Glory to God. So now, what we now
18:20
did on Sunday, right? We're able to look at,
18:23
where did we stop on Sunday? We stopped at Mark,
18:26
Jerusalem and Eugenia, right? And then we ran
18:30
down to Matthew. We read Matthew. Amen? Good.
18:34
So, Now, let's go to Matthew 28. Matthew 28.
18:40
Matthew what? 28. Everybody, let's go there.
18:44
Verse 19. So, so far, so good. We know onoma,
18:48
right? Proper name and then figuratively function
18:52
now, right? Ability, office, authority, right?
18:55
Good. Perfect. So, you can go and do more such.
18:58
If you check your BLB and all those things, you
19:00
see all those clarifications there. Glory to
19:02
God. Good. So, now. Matthew 28, everybody. Verse
19:06
19. And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying,
19:09
All power is given unto me in heaven and in what?
19:13
And in earth. Go ye therefore and teach all nations,
19:19
baptizing them in the name of the Father and
19:22
of the Son and of what? And of the Holy Ghost.
19:25
Does this place look like Luke chapter 24? Right?
19:28
After he finished speaking to them, he said that
19:31
repentance and remission of sins will be preached
19:33
what? In my name. Hallelujah. To all nations.
19:37
Glory to God. And then in Mark chapter 16 also,
19:40
we see the same instruction, right? Perfect.
19:42
So now, in Matthew 28, we said onmerma means
19:46
what? Authority, right? Function, right? Office.
19:52
Ability, yes. And what again? Character. Glory
19:55
to God. Then now, read it this way, everybody.
19:58
18 now. And Jesus came and spoke unto them, saying,
20:03
Right? In my name, go ye therefore and teach
20:08
all nations, baptizing what? Baptizing them in
20:12
the name of the Father and of the Son and what?
20:15
And of the Holy Ghost. So underline the what?
20:17
In the name of the Father and of the Son and
20:18
the Holy Ghost. We are coming to that. Because
20:20
this is the only place you will see where in
20:23
the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy
20:25
Ghost is mentioned. You won't see it anywhere.
20:27
Praise God. You won't see it anywhere. You know,
20:30
we will always do it. In the name of the Father,
20:32
you touch your forehead. and of the son you touch
20:34
your chest is it right or left yeah and of the
20:38
holy ghost so the hand is here then the holy
20:41
ghost rests here you know say amen you know or
20:45
as many of us that are watching football before
20:48
they do before they do substitutes as they are
20:50
doing like this you know and then they'll enter
20:53
and you wonder okay what was that just a fast
20:57
charm That was initiated. Hallelujah. See, in
21:05
this church, this is not the name of Jesus. Glory
21:10
to God. Praise God. It is not the name of Jesus.
21:13
No. This does not work here. Glory to God. What
21:19
works here, right, is the resurrection of who?
21:22
Of Jesus. That's what works. In fact, let's say
21:27
it this way. The resurrection of Jesus works
21:29
for me. And say it this way. I work in the resurrection
21:32
of Jesus. I function in the resurrection of Jesus.
21:36
Yes, that's where the authority lies. Praise
21:39
God. All the things we have been discussing all
21:42
this while about the things of the Spirit, praying
21:44
in the Holy Ghost, demonstration, all the things,
21:47
all the things are a product of the resurrection
21:49
of who? Of Jesus. Heal the sick. Resurrection.
21:55
Cast out devils. Resurrection. Speak in new tongues.
21:59
Resurrection. It's the gospel. Resurrection.
22:03
That's it. So now, let's read 18. And Jesus came
22:08
and spoke unto them, saying, All power is given
22:10
unto me in heaven and what? Some versions will
22:12
use the word authority. Okay, thank you for that.
22:14
You see, all authority has been what? Given to
22:17
me in what? In heaven and what? And on earth.
22:23
Now, Keep this for us like this. Go to Luke 24.
22:28
Because we are doing lots of study here so that
22:31
we really get what we are doing. Luke 24. 47.
22:35
Read it this way. And that repentance and remission
22:38
of sins should be preached in my authority among
22:42
what? All nations beginning at what? Jerusalem.
22:47
Does that make sense to us? Does it make sense
22:50
to us? Does it make sense? Let's read it again.
22:54
Repentance and remission of what? Of sins shall
22:57
be preached in my authority. Among what? All
23:01
nations beginning at what? Does it make sense
23:04
to us? Mark. Mark chapter 16. Let's read Mark
23:09
chapter 16. And this sign, verse 17. And this
23:13
sign, just keep this to it. Just hold it. Verse
23:16
17. And this sign shall follow them that believe
23:18
in my authority, in my office. In my ability,
23:24
right, they will do what? They shall cast out
23:28
devils. They shall speak with what? With new
23:31
tongues. Does it make sense to us? Does it make
23:34
sense? So, if all the places we have read now
23:38
made that sense to us, what do you think Matthew
23:41
chapter 18 will be saying? And Jesus came and
23:45
spoke to them saying, all authority has been
23:46
given to me in heaven and on earth. What do you
23:49
think he'll be saying in Matthew? Matthew 28.
23:53
Good. Immediately he said that statement about
23:56
the authority. Mind you, don't forget. We said
23:59
that these statements that Jesus is making is
24:01
upon his resurrection. Praise God. Jesus never
24:05
made these statements before his resurrection.
24:07
These statements that Jesus is making now is
24:10
upon his what? Is upon his resurrection. So after
24:13
he has finished saying, all authority in heaven
24:16
and on earth has been given to me. See the next
24:18
statement. He said, do what? Yes, what do you
24:21
think he'll be saying? Yeah? Okay, his name is
24:25
the authority. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
24:28
You are right, my yes. I want you to put it in
24:30
Matthew 18 now. In Matthew, go to 18, 28, 18.
24:35
Yes? Yes, so put it in this verse now. And put
24:39
it now, put it now, put it, put it, put it now.
24:42
Let's go. And Jesus came and spoke to them saying,
24:46
In my name. In my name. Next verse. Go ye what?
24:52
Go therefore and make disciples of how many nations?
24:56
All nations, baptizing them in the name of what?
24:59
The Father and of the Son and what? And of the
25:02
Holy Ghost. Next verse. Teaching them to observe
25:05
all things that I have what? Commanded you. However,
25:09
we have learned these all things I have commanded
25:11
you is not what we have read in Luke 24. Right?
25:15
Which we now see in Acts chapter 1. The 50 days
25:18
of all the teachings, right? And he says, I am
25:21
with you. And Lord, I am with you always, even
25:24
to the end of what? To the end of age. So what
25:27
Jesus was saying in Matthew 28, verse 18, and
25:30
then now telling them to go therefore, he said,
25:33
in my right, in my authority, in my name, go
25:36
therefore and make disciples of how many nations?
25:39
All nations. Glory to Jesus. So somebody will
25:44
now ask a question. How about in the name of
25:46
the Father? the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. What
25:49
happens to it? I say we should do what? Underline
25:52
it and keep it. We are coming to it. Praise God.
25:55
Are we all here? So now we see the name of Jesus,
25:58
the authority of Jesus. So on Sunday, one of
26:01
the things we said, we want to establish that
26:03
if Jesus said that statement in Luke, right,
26:07
we expect also to see an account of such statements
26:11
in Matthew, amen, in Mark, and also in what?
26:16
in john hallelujah praise god so now everybody
26:20
let's go to john's account let's go to john's
26:23
account everybody john chapter 20 verse 30 are
26:27
we all on the same page so far good john chapter
26:30
20 everybody is anybody confused so far you are
26:34
not understanding what's happening are we all
26:36
understanding are we all understanding good perfect
26:40
john 20 verse 30 everybody And he says, are many
26:46
other signs truly did Jesus did in what? In the
26:50
presence of his disciples which are not written
26:52
where? In this book. But these are written that
26:56
ye might what? Believe that Jesus is what? Is
27:02
the Christ, the Son of God and believing ye might
27:06
have life through what? Ye might have life through
27:11
what? Through his name. all that we have seen,
27:16
his death, burial, and resurrection, is that
27:19
believing, these things were written, that believing
27:23
these things, we might have life. How do we have
27:27
the life? Through his what? Through his name.
27:31
Glory to Jesus. We might have life. Do you see
27:35
this aligns with Mark chapter 16, the instruction
27:38
he gave? Let's go to Mark chapter 16. Let's go
27:42
to Mark chapter 16, everybody. Mark chapter 16,
27:45
verse 15. And he said unto them, Go ye into all
27:49
the world, preach the gospel to every creature,
27:52
he that what? Can you see? And that believing,
27:56
right? Ye might have what? Life through his what?
28:01
Through his name. Believer and his baptized shall
28:04
be what? Shall be saved, shall have life. But
28:07
he that believeth not shall what? Shall be damned.
28:11
Glory to Jesus. So that's what we are seeing.
28:15
That we have life through his what? Through his
28:18
name. We have life through his what? Through
28:22
his name. Let's establish something there very
28:25
fast so that we can. John 14, 13. John 14, 13.
28:29
Everybody. We have life through his name. Glory
28:32
to Jesus. John 14, 13. And whatsoever ye shall
28:38
ask. So I think it will be good. As we go through
28:41
these scriptures, please, anywhere you see in
28:42
my name, his name, try and be on the line if
28:44
it's your Bible. Right? If you borrowed it, please
28:48
don't write there. Yes. Yes. So, 14, 13. And
28:55
whatsoever ye shall ask what in my name, that
28:59
will I what? Will I do? When we come, more detail
29:02
about the name. We will come to these places
29:05
and talk about them in detail. Amen? These statements
29:08
that Jesus is making. Right? Why was he making
29:11
these statements? Glory to Jesus. He said, in
29:14
my name, that will I what? Do, and the Father
29:17
may be glorified where? In the Son. Verse 26.
29:22
Verse 14. Let's go to 14. 14, very fast there.
29:25
And if ye shall ask anything in my what? In my
29:28
name. I will what? I will do it. So, from now,
29:33
any place you see in my name, please, be put
29:36
in the office of Jesus. The authority of Jesus.
29:39
The function of Jesus. The character of who?
29:42
Of Jesus. Amen? So you see, you cannot just come
29:46
and say, I claim this Lamborghini in the name
29:50
of Jesus. Kabaye. What's that? What did you just
29:54
do? You see that house? Oh my father, I claim
29:59
it. I claim it. The question is, so you are claiming
30:03
it in the character of who? And for what? Because
30:07
we are learning now, carefully, if you pay attention,
30:09
we are learning all that is happening. In the
30:12
name of Jesus, events are happening. One of the
30:15
first events that is happening in the name of
30:16
Jesus is preaching what? The gospel. Another
30:19
event we are seeing that is happening in the
30:21
name of Jesus is what? Signs, wonders, and miracles.
30:25
Another event that is happening in the name of
30:27
Jesus is that through his name, we see people
30:29
have eternal life by believing. We are not seeing
30:32
people claiming Lamborghini. People claiming
30:35
mansions. People claiming things that is not
30:37
their own. Glory to Jesus. So, see now. So because
30:42
somebody will say, ah, I've never. You know,
30:44
you can be teaching, people can be. Somebody
30:46
will say, ah, if Jesus asks anything, I've never
30:49
seen this thing in my life. He say anything.
30:53
Bro, you cannot go and ask for somebody's wife.
30:58
Yes, you cannot. Because that's not in the character
31:02
of Jesus. That's not in the ability of Jesus.
31:06
Jesus does not have the ability to snatch somebody's
31:08
wife and give you. The resurrection of Jesus
31:10
never provided that kind of supply for you in
31:13
the spirit. Never. So now we are coming to this.
31:17
Hallelujah. So now, on the line of what? Anything
31:20
in my what? In my name, I will what? I will do
31:24
it. Glory to Jesus. Verse 26. Verse 26. But when
31:28
the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto
31:31
you from the Father, Even the Spirit of truth,
31:36
which proceeded from the Father, he shall do
31:39
what? He shall testify of what? Of me. And ye
31:44
shall also bear witness, because ye have been
31:47
with me from what? From the beginning. Where
31:49
did he write in my name? Where did he write in
31:51
my name? But when the Comforter is come, whom
31:55
I will send to you from the Father, glory to
31:58
Jesus, even the Spirit of truth, which proceeded
32:02
from the Father, he shall come to testify of
32:06
what? Testify of who? So in whose name will the
32:09
comforter be coming? In whose name? Another event
32:14
that we are seeing that will happen in the name
32:17
of Jesus is that the Holy Spirit will come upon
32:21
what? Will come upon everybody. Glory to Jesus.
32:25
That's another thing that we are seeing. The
32:28
Holy Spirit. He said he shall testify. It's as
32:33
a result of my resurrection that the Holy Spirit
32:37
will be what? Will be poured. Glory to Jesus.
32:42
Glory to Jesus. Good. Verse 15, 26. But the comforter
32:49
is still the same, the comforter. The comforter
32:52
with the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send
32:54
in what? In my name. Come on now, Bible students.
32:58
You allow your teacher to be rigmarole. Oh, you
33:03
understand? In my name, he shall teach you how
33:06
many things? All things and bring all things
33:10
to your remembrance whatsoever I have worked.
33:14
So the Holy Spirit in whose name will be given?
33:17
In the name of Jesus. Acts 15, 16. John 15, 16.
33:22
15, 16. Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen
33:25
you and ordained you. Ha ha. that ye shall go
33:28
and bring forth fruit, that your food shall what?
33:31
Remain. That whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father
33:35
in my name, he might what? He might give you.
33:38
Hallelujah. Glory to God. Our election is in
33:42
the name of Jesus. Our adoption is in the name
33:46
of who? In the name of Jesus. Glory to God. See
33:51
21, everybody. 21, 15, 21. But all these things
33:54
will they do? unto you from my what? Namesake,
33:59
because they know not him that what? The question
34:03
is, what will they happen? Let's go to 20 so
34:05
that please don't be afraid of this because that's
34:07
it. It's a product of the name. Remember the
34:10
word that I said unto you, the servant is not
34:12
greater than his Lord. If they have persecuted
34:15
me, they will also what? Persecute you. If they
34:20
have kept my saying, they will also keep yours
34:22
what? Also, can you see that in the name, the
34:26
same response they give to Jesus, they give to
34:28
the believer. Glory to God. Then now, see the
34:32
next verse 21. He said, but all these things
34:34
will they do what? What are the things they will
34:36
do unto you? They will persecute you. You know,
34:40
in Hausa, Zamusha Shegi, in his name, they will
34:46
pull the knife and slaughter for the name's sake.
34:51
They will put a bullet in your head or in your
34:53
chest. For what? So write it. It's another event
34:57
in the name. Write it. Yes, as we arrive here
35:00
now, everybody pause. Write it. Persecution where?
35:04
In the name. Yes. Yes. John 16, 23. John 16,
35:11
23. And in that day ye shall ask me nothing.
35:14
Very, very little I say unto you. Whatsoever
35:15
ye shall ask the Father in my what? In my name,
35:19
he will what? He will give it to you. So add
35:24
these verses, verse 24 and 26. All he's talking
35:27
about in my name, in my name, in my name. John
35:31
chapter 16, verse 24, verse 26. Additional verses.
35:36
So, so far so good. What are we seeing? The summary
35:38
of what we are seeing from John's account. The
35:41
gospel should be preached or taught in his name.
35:44
Men are to believe in the gospel and receive
35:46
life through his what? Through his. name. Glory
35:51
to Jesus. Good. So let's go to Acts now. Let's
35:55
go to Acts. So we have seen in his name, in his
35:59
name, Luke will tell us, repentance will be preached,
36:02
Matthew will tell us, Mark will tell us, John
36:05
will tell us. Amen? Good. Please write this.
36:08
I forgot to say it from John, that we receive
36:11
in his name. We receive from the Father in his
36:17
what? In his name. So, because question will
36:20
now be, is it that when we say, in the name of
36:23
Jesus, no, no, no, let me say the way we say
36:24
the name, you know. When they finish the prayers,
36:27
the last part, in the mighty, wonderful, precious
36:32
name of Jesus Christ. Amen. So, it's like, when
36:37
they say that now, the thing has downloaded fully.
36:41
Yes. You see, with a louder amen. Amen. You know,
36:48
the thing now, Allah don't show. I remember either
36:52
Pastor Fred or Pastor Victor taught us here,
36:53
right? Because that's where we're heading to.
36:57
Because what we receive from the Father is not
37:00
when we name the name of Jesus. But when we have
37:03
an understanding, right, of what Jesus has done,
37:07
what? For the provision of Christ for us. That's
37:10
how we receive it. Glory to God. So, I may come
37:14
into a place, or you may come into a place, right?
37:17
and pray a prayer, and never end it with the
37:19
name of Jesus. And Allah will show. Please, it's
37:22
not money Allah. So what I mean by Allah, that
37:24
you will see miracles, signs and wonders will
37:27
happen. But somebody will say, I'm talking about
37:29
miracle money. That's not what I mean. Did I
37:33
say that from my mouth? No. If you wrote it,
37:36
delete it. Glory to God. But we receive in His
37:41
word. So by now, so far so good, from Sunday
37:43
to now, you should know that when you say we
37:44
receive in His name, We mean that we are receiving
37:47
in his what? In his character. In his ability.
37:51
In his office. Glory to God. Because when we
37:54
come to consider the name, we want to see what
37:56
are the provisions that Jesus has made available
37:59
for the believer in his office, in his character.
38:01
What are the things? Glory to Jesus. So now,
38:05
Acts now. Acts, everybody. Acts 2 .21. Acts 2
38:10
.21. And it shall come to pass that whosoever
38:14
shall call out. on the name of the Lord shall
38:17
be what? Shall be saved. Does this look like
38:20
where we are coming from, John? Yes. Believing
38:23
and we will have what? Life. We call upon the
38:27
name of the Lord who will be what? When we come
38:29
to this place also in Romans chapter 10, we are
38:31
coming to Ephesians 9, Romans chapter 10, we
38:33
see the same rendition there. Right? Now whosoever
38:36
shall call upon the name of the Lord is what?
38:38
Yes, shall be saved. Glory to Jesus. Verse 38.
38:42
Verse 38. Then Peter said unto them, repent and
38:45
be baptized every one of you in whose name, in
38:48
the name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of
38:51
what? Of sins, and ye shall receive the gift
38:54
of what? Does this look like what Jesus just
38:56
told them in Luke? That repentance and remission
39:00
of sins will be preached. You know, when we keep
39:03
reading in that Luke 24, he told the 30 year
39:05
in Jerusalem, what? For the promise to receive
39:08
the Holy Ghost. So we see Peter. Peter did not
39:11
change what was taught to them. The believer
39:14
in the name of Jesus ought not to change the
39:18
message. You have to stay with the message, the
39:22
purity of the message, the accuracy of the message.
39:25
You see, Peter said the same words. In fact,
39:30
we often say it in catatismus, that whatsoever
39:33
you see your neighbor is doing, copy it. Hallelujah.
39:40
Copy what? Copy it. Immediately you see your
39:43
neighbor is praying in the Holy Ghost. Don't
39:48
stay there and be, what is happening? What is
39:51
happening? No, now, no. When will I? Oh, you
39:54
stay somewhere at the back. He say, when will
39:55
my time come? When will my time? Or they say,
39:59
can we just pray? People are receiving the baptism
40:01
of the Holy Ghost. And they probably are still
40:04
using the old software. You know, from Casablanca,
40:07
where you came? You know, and then you're using
40:09
that old software. And then you are like, they
40:11
taught you that they say, let me use the word
40:14
that probably they told. They say Kronos time,
40:16
you know, or they say Kairos time. And when that
40:20
time comes, certain things will happen in the
40:22
atmosphere. And then your tongues will come.
40:25
And then you now come to a place, gathering of
40:27
believers, where we don't have Kronos or Kairos.
40:29
We're already in everything. And then you are
40:32
waiting for that, you know, probably maybe you
40:34
see, just change gear. You say, I think the time
40:39
is coming. And after that, no time again. No,
40:43
when you see believers are gathered, whatever
40:46
provision you see in that atmosphere, you are
40:50
part of it. So don't wait and say, when will
40:53
I? Somebody just said now. So what if now I now
40:57
start saying, am I not pretending? Brother, you're
41:00
not pretending. Whatever, do it. When you finish,
41:09
we will interpret it for you. And from that atmosphere,
41:12
you will grow. Next meeting, come again. Whatever.
41:16
We will interpret another thing for you by the
41:18
Spirit. By the time you do three, four, five
41:20
meetings with us, you're the one that will start
41:22
interpreting the other people's own. Glory to
41:25
Jesus. Peter did not change the message. The
41:30
same thing Jesus told them, that repentance and
41:32
remission of sins will be what? Will be preached.
41:35
Seeing the same thing, he finished saying verse
41:37
what? Verse 30 what? Verse 38. Then Peter said
41:41
unto them, repent and what? Repentance and remission
41:45
of sins will be preached. Is that the same word
41:47
he's saying? He said, and be baptized in the
41:48
name of Jesus Christ for the remission of what?
41:51
Repentance, remission of sins. Forgiveness of
41:53
sins. And ye shall receive what? The gift of
41:56
the Holy Ghost. Glory to Jesus. In the name of
42:00
Jesus. Acts 3 .6. Acts 3 .6. Everybody see. Then
42:06
Peter said, silver and gold have I none. What
42:11
should happen to the man? What do you have? What
42:15
was he saying I have? I have authority. Hallelujah.
42:18
What was he saying I have? I come in the office
42:21
of Jesus. What was he saying I have? He said
42:23
I come. Do you remember that we read in John?
42:25
He said that you shall ask from the Father in
42:28
my name. And the Father will what? Will do it
42:30
in my function, in my ability, in my office.
42:34
He said in my name. You shall lay hands on the
42:36
sick. And the sick will do what? Will rise. And
42:39
Peter will have that understanding. I say silver
42:42
and gold. I do know what? What I have. Oh boy.
42:47
Yes. What I have, I give what? I give unto thee.
42:53
Rise up on what? I walk in my name. Glory to
42:59
Jesus. Verse 16, 316. 316. And his name. Now
43:05
he was still speaking about the man that was
43:07
raised. Right? He say, and his name, through
43:11
faith in his name. had made this man, you know
43:15
why I just giggle now and just laugh? Let me
43:19
tell you what happened in my heart. You know,
43:21
that this man was born what? Was born lame. And
43:26
he was kept at that gate, and that has been his
43:29
surviving center. And one of the things why I
43:32
smiled, he said that if you have understanding
43:35
of my name, there is no situation, whether it's
43:38
from childbirth, whether it's from womb. Whether
43:41
he say he's genetic, whether he say he's phenotypic,
43:45
whether he say he's genotypic, whether he say
43:48
he's hemophilia, whether he say, whatsoever it
43:53
is, from my office, that the name of Jesus, the
44:00
character of Jesus, the office of Jesus can change
44:03
everything. You see, this thing I just said,
44:07
bless me. It blessed me, me, custom, it blessed
44:10
me. And see what he will tell them now in verse
44:14
16. And his name through faith in his what? In

his name has made this man what? Strong, whom
44:21
ye see and what? Know. The faith which is by
44:25
him had given him what? This perfect soundness
44:29
in the presence of how many of them all. Do you
44:31
remember on Sunday, I said that, you know, you
44:34
will see, you will do what? you will hear. When
44:39
we see a demonstration of the things, of the
44:42
events, right? From the name of Jesus, there
44:45
is a seeing, there is a what? There is a hearing.
44:49
Glory to Jesus. Are we all there? So, let's add
44:54

45:10
hearts all year. Glory to Jesus. You will see.
45:14
The eyes of your understanding is open. You will
45:16
