- 1:21Speaker 2: for that. The mic can be finer. It's good, but
- 1:25Speaker 2: it can be finer. Just a bit of treble. Thank you.
- 1:29Speaker 2: That was a powerful time. Can we give God praise? Hallelujah. Alright. Okay. Alright. Amen.
- 1:59Speaker 2: Now let me give a very strict warning, particularly those
- 2:01Speaker 2: of you at the media stand. If I minister and
- 2:05Speaker 2: you leave church for any reason, You'll be dealt with.
- 2:10Speaker 2: For no reason should any man be standing there if
- 2:12Speaker 2: you are supposed to be here now. You've gotten too
- 2:17Speaker 2: many reports. By ministering, you step out of church for
- 2:22Speaker 2: any reason. You'll be dealt with. Let's move on. Are
- 2:39Speaker 2: you selling him there? Where is Bishop Shen? Where are they?
- 2:50Speaker 2: Why should you sit at the back? Are you an
- 2:52Speaker 2: enemy of the church? Be with the brethren. How do
- 2:56Speaker 2: most of you like to sit at the back and
- 2:57Speaker 2: see if you are against the church? Are you an antichrist?
- 2:59Speaker 2: I want to make sure I pay attention to all
- 3:08Speaker 2: these details.
- 3:11Speaker 3: Amen.
- 3:15Speaker 2: Alright. Okay. And we're teaching about relationships where more than this...
- 3:42Speaker 2: It's a serious matter. There are two issues that make
- 3:47Speaker 2: African Christians pray loudest. When you are praying about husband
- 3:51Speaker 2: or wife, or when you are praying that enemy of
- 3:55Speaker 2: father's house or mother's house should die. And they pray
- 4:00Speaker 2: the loudest. I don't know where I was speaking. I
- 4:06Speaker 2: think it was in Lagos. that the message that brought
- 4:11Speaker 2: many Christians into Christianity is not the full gospel. The message,
- 4:22Speaker 2: and I need to start from that. Scripture made it
- 4:26Speaker 2: very clear. Psalms 11 verse 3. If the foundation is destroyed,
- 4:36Speaker 2: what can the righteous do? Please look up. Don't jot yet.
- 4:42Speaker 2: Most of us don't go back to those jottings. You
- 4:46Speaker 2: have not listened to my sermon at all until you
- 4:49Speaker 2: have heard it at least five times. Even if I
- 4:53Speaker 2: teach for 15 minutes, you have not heard it at
- 4:56Speaker 2: all until you have heard it for at least five times.
- 5:04Speaker 2: Like I said, the series I'm taking is an apostolic series.
- 5:11Speaker 2: One of the tribulations I have as a minister of
- 5:15Speaker 2: the gospel who have had the privilege of traveling across
- 5:18Speaker 2: different places to bless lives is the fact that some
- 5:24Speaker 2: Christians do not have their foundation in the word. It
- 5:34Speaker 2: amazes me to see that when it is time for impartation,
- 5:39Speaker 2: you see young men and women jumping They are ready
- 5:42Speaker 2: to receive. What God has done to someone over the years.
- 5:48Speaker 2: They want to take everything in just one laying on
- 5:50Speaker 2: of hands. But when it's time to teach them the word,
- 5:56Speaker 2: something that you have encountered in God that showed you
- 5:58Speaker 2: the process of how to get there, then you discover
- 6:02Speaker 2: that some of them are sleeping. Or some of them
- 6:08Speaker 2: just losing trust. Or some, they can't stay under a
- 6:15Speaker 2: message that is longer than one hour. The moment it
- 6:21Speaker 2: is an hour, like there's a system within them that
- 6:25Speaker 2: tells them it's time to shut down. So sometimes it
- 6:31Speaker 2: bothers my heart. People will pay for flight to come
- 6:35Speaker 2: to a place. You get there and you discover that
- 6:39Speaker 2: this is a church that They have been growing these
- 6:42Speaker 2: people on something, but that thing is not the word.
- 6:47Speaker 2: Because whatever material you use to build the foundation, you
- 6:50Speaker 2: can also use that material to continue. While we're growing up,
- 7:00Speaker 2: all those who used to go and stay outside doing salmon,
- 7:03Speaker 2: they are nowhere to be found. All of them. There
- 7:11Speaker 2: are a few people here, some of them were from Ife,
- 7:17Speaker 2: that have taken them in series, myself, from their part
- 7:20Speaker 2: one days, sometimes for six hours, for eight hours, sitting
- 7:27Speaker 2: down by discipline to take the word. Because the average
- 7:34Speaker 2: mentality everybody carries now, if you can get one or
- 7:37Speaker 2: two things, you need to start dispensing. I'm going to
- 7:39Speaker 2: teach you something in this series. Using the word as
- 7:42Speaker 2: an anchor. The sword of the spirit is not just
- 7:46Speaker 2: for fighting first. It is first used as an anchor.
- 7:52Speaker 2: You have to be standing to fight. If it does
- 7:54Speaker 2: not hold you, you can't fight. Do you get what
- 7:59Speaker 2: I'm saying? Are you following what I'm saying? The reason
- 8:04Speaker 2: why I have a lot of burden in my heart
- 8:07Speaker 2: is is that there are many people in church that
- 8:10Speaker 2: won't see Jesus. I trust God in this series. I'm
- 8:14Speaker 2: going to bulldoze any wrong doctrine you have ingested. There
- 8:21Speaker 2: are many people in church that won't see Jesus. There
- 8:24Speaker 2: are pastors that won't make it to heaven. There are
- 8:32Speaker 2: many things happening in these last days that gives us
- 8:35Speaker 2: reasons to cry. if you are passionate about the body
- 8:39Speaker 2: of Christ. It is in this season we are seeing
- 8:42Speaker 2: pastors bring Fuji Musician. They introduce someone as an halaji
- 8:50Speaker 2: and yet they bring him to church and they are saying,
- 8:52Speaker 2: come and bless the people. You hear their message, there
- 8:57Speaker 2: is nothing like Christ in it. They even give you
- 9:01Speaker 2: the impression that you and a Muslim are serving the
- 9:04Speaker 2: same God. It is in this dispensation you see a
- 9:10Speaker 2: pastor read a book over 1,000 pages. But there is
- 9:15Speaker 2: no mention of Jesus in any page. They say they
- 9:20Speaker 2: are implying it. Since when did we start implying the
- 9:24Speaker 2: one who came and died naked for us? Are you
- 9:32Speaker 2: following what I'm saying? Are you following what I'm saying?
- 9:43Speaker 2: One of the concerns I have is that after all these,
- 9:46Speaker 2: what I'm doing now is an activity. An activity. Anybody
- 9:54Speaker 2: can preach. There are some of you listening. to me now,
- 10:00Speaker 2: you can preach better. For you, I'm even too slow.
- 10:06Speaker 2: This activity does not show anyone is wise. What shows
- 10:10Speaker 2: that we are wise is that we live by the word.
- 10:13Speaker 2: It is first an anchor before it is a weapon.
- 10:22Speaker 2: Are you following what I'm saying? So, I want to
- 10:31Speaker 2: take you on a series and preparing the church for
- 10:40Speaker 2: the coming of Christ. So we have a long way
- 10:46Speaker 2: to go in this series. We have a journey to
- 10:49Speaker 2: go in this series. And the Lord laid it strongly
- 10:56Speaker 2: in my heart to start. I was able to buttress
- 11:05Speaker 2: my path to see a glimpse of this. And this
- 11:16Speaker 2: is one of the painful truths Sometimes you get hosted
- 11:21Speaker 2: for a meeting. You can't teach beyond introduction because that
- 11:26Speaker 2: is how far they are open. And then you dance
- 11:31Speaker 2: around the introduction just trying to make them come to
- 11:34Speaker 2: one light. And after the whole thing people start jumping
- 11:40Speaker 2: about and say that man he blessed us. But you
- 11:47Speaker 2: know you can't go beyond introduction. I want us to
- 11:56Speaker 2: look at the book of Acts of Apostles chapter number 1.
- 11:59Speaker 2: Acts of the Apostles chapter number 1. Acts of the
- 12:09Speaker 2: Apostles chapter number 1. If you would just say Amen. Amen.
- 12:22Speaker 2: So we'll start reading from verse 1. Act of the Apostles,
- 12:26Speaker 2: chapter number 1. We'll start from verse 1. Just a minute.
- 12:41Speaker 3: Amen.
- 12:43Speaker 2: Alright. The former... Treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of
- 12:54Speaker 2: all that Jesus began both to do and teach until
- 13:00Speaker 2: the day which was taken up. After that, he, through
- 13:04Speaker 2: the Holy Ghost, had given commandment to the apostles whom
- 13:09Speaker 2: he had chosen, to whom also he showed himself alive
- 13:15Speaker 2: after his passion by many infallible proofs. being seen of
- 13:20Speaker 2: them 40 days and speaking of things pertaining to the kingdom.
- 13:25Speaker 2: Now we can draw a lot of teachings from this
- 13:29Speaker 2: verse 1 to verse 3. We can draw a lot
- 13:31Speaker 2: of eternal wisdom hidden in it. If the disciples had
- 13:43Speaker 2: believed enough in the fact that Jesus had said he
- 13:47Speaker 2: will rise up from the grave on the third day.
- 13:56Speaker 2: There will have been no need for him to begin
- 13:59Speaker 2: to show himself with infallible proof. Why? Our salvation is
- 14:06Speaker 2: not anchored on his death. It is anchored on his resurrection. So,
- 14:16Speaker 2: He needed to show them infallible proofs. How many days
- 14:20Speaker 2: did it take him to show them? For them to
- 14:22Speaker 2: now come to believe 40 days of living with them
- 14:29Speaker 2: after resurrection. Why did it take Jesus three days to
- 14:35Speaker 2: rise up from the grave? Or you think maybe the
- 14:39Speaker 2: work he went to do in hell to get the keys.
- 14:44Speaker 2: It was written in Revelation 1 verse 18. Revelations 1.18.
- 14:48Speaker 2: Give us that scripture quickly. I need to be very
- 14:51Speaker 2: fast with me tonight. Revelations 1.18. I am he that
- 14:55Speaker 2: liveth and was dead and behold I am alive forevermore. Amen.
- 14:59Speaker 2: And I have the keys of hell and death. So,
- 15:03Speaker 2: some Bible scholars will believe what he went to do
- 15:06Speaker 2: in the grave. It took him three days to get
- 15:08Speaker 2: these keys. No, it can't take him three days to
- 15:10Speaker 2: get the keys because the first time he got there,
- 15:12Speaker 2: the kings, princes of this world came to him and
- 15:14Speaker 2: they found nothing He was the only legal man to
- 15:19Speaker 2: go there and check out again. So we call him
- 15:21Speaker 2: the firstborn from the dead. Why three days? The Jews
- 15:32Speaker 2: don't believe a fellow is truly dead until after three days.
- 15:38Speaker 2: They don't believe the soul is totally separated from the body.
- 15:42Speaker 2: So he stayed in the grave for three days for
- 15:45Speaker 2: them to be convinced beyond doubt. He died. Now go
- 15:56Speaker 2: back to that act. 1 verse 3. To whom he
- 16:02Speaker 2: showed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs.
- 16:09Speaker 2: being seen of them 40 days, and speaking of the
- 16:16Speaker 2: things pertaining to the kingdom of God. And being assembled
- 16:27Speaker 2: together with them, commanded them that they should not depart
- 16:31Speaker 2: from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father,
- 16:35Speaker 2: which said he, ye have heard of me. For John
- 16:40Speaker 2: truly baptized with water, but he shall be baptized with
- 16:45Speaker 2: the Holy Ghost not many days hence. When they therefore
- 16:51Speaker 2: were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, will
- 16:54Speaker 2: thou at this time restore again the kingdom of Israel?
- 16:56Speaker 2: Are you seeing what is happening? Do I have Bible
- 17:00Speaker 2: scholars here? Talk to me. Do I have Bible scholars?
- 17:03Speaker 2: What do you think this is? three and a half years,
- 17:15Speaker 2: you are studying a four-year course in Nigeria. Let's say,
- 17:19Speaker 2: for instance, you are studying microbiology. It's four years, academic calendar.
- 17:26Speaker 2: In human calendar, sometimes it's three, sometimes it's three and
- 17:29Speaker 2: a half, right? So, if you spend three and a
- 17:33Speaker 2: half years on campus, you have gotten a degree, right?
- 17:36Speaker 3: Good.
- 17:37Speaker 2: So, after studying microbiology for three and a half years,
- 17:40Speaker 2: somebody is still asking what is cell. And say maybe
- 17:48Speaker 2: a cell is that part of a cow's eyes that
- 17:53Speaker 2: bulges out. Do you get what I'm saying? Are you
- 17:55Speaker 2: seeing how stupid this can be? He had talked to them.
- 18:00Speaker 2: The kingdom I've come to restore is not the kingdom
- 18:02Speaker 2: of this world. Meaning that it is possible to be
- 18:07Speaker 2: saying the same thing for three and a half years
- 18:09Speaker 2: and yet they've not come to the understanding. And that's
- 18:17Speaker 2: the problem many of you have. You have people you
- 18:21Speaker 2: are training, but you think you are only a sound
- 18:26Speaker 2: trainer if you say everything you know. It's low self-esteem.
- 18:34Speaker 2: You want to prove to those you are leading that
- 18:36Speaker 2: you know so much. They are ever learning, never coming
- 18:41Speaker 2: to the knowledge of truth. We have people now who
- 18:48Speaker 2: preach like a footballer. They just want to show you skills.
- 18:52Speaker 2: And say, let me give you one more. If I
- 18:54Speaker 2: say this one, you see how it is. Let me
- 18:56Speaker 2: show you one more thing. This one is the hidden
- 18:58Speaker 2: mystery of the awakened man. And by the time the
- 19:05Speaker 2: one who is saying the hidden mystery is done talking,
- 19:07Speaker 2: he himself looks mysterious. Now they are more confused than
- 19:13Speaker 2: they used to be. That's why Jesus needs to deal
- 19:20Speaker 2: with you. And this flesh in you. To be able
- 19:25Speaker 2: to preach what he wants you to preach. If you
- 19:32Speaker 2: are not dealt with, you will say what you want
- 19:34Speaker 2: to say. They will clap. But they will remain the same.
- 19:43Speaker 2: They will shout. But They will call you deep, but
- 19:47Speaker 2: forever they will be shallow. If after teaching somebody. If
- 20:02Speaker 2: I was Jesus. After three and a half years. When
- 20:07Speaker 2: the father has spoken nice things. I have to talk
- 20:10Speaker 2: with God. Did you see the conversation in John 17?
- 20:13Speaker 2: A half-full conversation. That's the conversation of a man who
- 20:17Speaker 2: has finished, right? You know, among these guys, there was
- 20:30Speaker 2: still one among them called Thomas. Who Add it in mind.
- 20:37Speaker 2: If you like, show yourself for 40 days. It doesn't matter.
- 20:41Speaker 2: I need to put my hands inside that hole in
- 20:43Speaker 2: your hands. And put my hands in your sight. And
- 20:48Speaker 2: be sure you are the one. Three and a half years.
- 21:01Speaker 2: Will you not call that wasted? Wasted. Go back to
- 21:11Speaker 2: the Acts 1. And when they therefore were come together,
- 21:18Speaker 2: they asked of him, saying, Lord, would thou at this
- 21:20Speaker 2: time restore again the kingdom to Israel? And he said
- 21:25Speaker 2: to them, It is not for you to know the
- 21:27Speaker 2: times or the seasons which the Father hath put in
- 21:32Speaker 2: his own power. But ye shall receive power after the
- 21:37Speaker 2: Holy Ghost is come upon you, and you shall be
- 21:40Speaker 2: witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem and in all Judea
- 21:44Speaker 2: and in Samaria and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
- 21:48Speaker 2: And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld,
- 21:52Speaker 2: he was taken up, and a cloud received him out
- 21:55Speaker 2: of their sight. This is the same way we are
- 21:59Speaker 2: perceived one day. And while they looked steadfastly towards heaven,
- 22:05Speaker 2: as he went up, behold, two men Stood by them
- 22:10Speaker 2: in white apparel. Two what? We are not going to
- 22:17Speaker 2: the theology of that. They are not angels. Two men.
- 22:26Speaker 2: Which also said. Ye men of Galilee. Why stand ye
- 22:31Speaker 2: gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus. Which is taken
- 22:37Speaker 2: up from you into heaven. shall so come in like
- 22:41Speaker 2: manner as ye have seen him go into heaven. So
- 22:43Speaker 2: I'm teaching you the first subtopic is this same Jesus.
- 22:57Speaker 2: Put your phones on silence. One minute he was talking
- 23:18Speaker 2: with them. We didn't have an account of the fellow
- 23:27Speaker 2: who asked that question. That will you at this time
- 23:31Speaker 2: restore the kingdom back to Israel. If he had known
- 23:35Speaker 2: that that's the last opportunity he would have to ask
- 23:38Speaker 2: the question one on one he would have asked a
- 23:41Speaker 2: better question. In the case of Elijah and Elisha, all
- 23:53Speaker 2: the sons of the prophet knew. Nobody passed any announcement.
- 23:59Speaker 2: There was no WhatsApp group. There was no book SMS.
- 24:07Speaker 2: They were very coherent in this. They knew. And they
- 24:09Speaker 2: were asking Elisha, do you know that God is going
- 24:11Speaker 2: to take your master away from you? And he said,
- 24:14Speaker 2: I know. Hold your peace. He got to Bethel. They
- 24:16Speaker 2: asked the same thing. So in the case of Elijah,
- 24:20Speaker 2: they knew. But in the case of Jesus, it was
- 24:27Speaker 2: as they were still talking. Whenever I read this scripture,
- 24:34Speaker 2: it looks to me like there was a system that
- 24:38Speaker 2: got tired of their familiarity and took him off from them.
- 24:47Speaker 2: they were talking about political reign. Jesus was talking about
- 24:55Speaker 2: a spirit that will be given to them. And until
- 25:01Speaker 2: that spirit is given to them, they can't be witnesses.
- 25:05Speaker 2: So they were worlds apart after spending three and a
- 25:11Speaker 2: half years with them. Plus extra 40 days This scripture
- 25:22Speaker 2: gives me a lot of concern. I wish they meant,
- 25:26Speaker 2: suddenly they said, Jesus, whom you see taking up. But
- 25:31Speaker 2: they said, this same Jesus. Why is that a serious word?
- 25:45Speaker 2: The same Jesus whose presence you didn't maximize is coming back.
- 25:53Speaker 2: not another Jesus. Most of us need to now see
- 25:59Speaker 2: your status. You know, and this is a scripture we
- 26:06Speaker 2: have to look at from their perspective. They had a
- 26:14Speaker 2: foretaste of this experience on the Mount of Transfiguration. There
- 26:20Speaker 2: was a foretaste. They were together with him. Peter, James,
- 26:26Speaker 2: and John. By the way, Jesus didn't limit it to three.
- 26:31Speaker 2: Those were the three that chose to come closer. Sometimes
- 26:37Speaker 2: in a spiritual circle, it takes more than love to
- 26:40Speaker 2: come closer. It also takes confidence. And that's why if
- 26:47Speaker 2: you read the Bible, there was never a place that
- 26:52Speaker 2: Jesus called John is beloved. There was never a place
- 26:58Speaker 2: in the Bible that he referred to John as his favorite.
- 27:01Speaker 2: It was not in Matthew. It was not in Mark.
- 27:05Speaker 2: It was not in Luke. It was only in the
- 27:07Speaker 2: book that John wrote. What's the wisdom behind that? If
- 27:14Speaker 2: you say you are his beloved, you are. Imagine having
- 27:26Speaker 2: a mentor. The kind of mentor you stay with. You
- 27:32Speaker 2: live in the same house for three and a half years.
- 27:37Speaker 2: They were together on that Mount of Transfiguration and all
- 27:41Speaker 2: of a sudden a great light shone. And they saw
- 27:47Speaker 2: Jesus in another dimension. He was no longer standing as
- 27:53Speaker 2: the normal Jesus they knew. There must have been times
- 27:57Speaker 2: that he was in the toilet and he said, John,
- 27:59Speaker 2: get me water. Or Peter, get me tissue. He is
- 28:07Speaker 2: just a man. But on the Mount of Transfiguration, a
- 28:12Speaker 2: light shone round about them and they saw who were
- 28:17Speaker 2: the two folks talking with him there? Huh? The law
- 28:23Speaker 2: and the prophet. The prophet. And these two were talking
- 28:28Speaker 2: with him. It doesn't matter the dispensation they had operated.
- 28:33Speaker 2: This is their father talking. They were talking with him
- 28:38Speaker 2: and nobody told them this is Moses. Nobody told them
- 28:41Speaker 2: this is Elijah. There's something about the spirit realm. Everything
- 28:44Speaker 2: introduces itself. You don't understand. If you catch a glimpse
- 28:50Speaker 2: of the spirit realm, everything has the inherent capacity to
- 28:53Speaker 2: give you a description of itself. Not with words, but
- 28:57Speaker 2: downloaded in your spirit. Like this, if you are caught
- 29:01Speaker 2: up in the spiritual, a flower will tell you its
- 29:04Speaker 2: botanical name. Maybe it exists there. It will tell you
- 29:07Speaker 2: its name. The reason for its colors. Everything comes as
- 29:11Speaker 2: a perfect convergence of revealing the splendor and the glory
- 29:16Speaker 2: of God. Everything in heaven testifies of Christ. So in heaven,
- 29:21Speaker 2: all the constellations are in perfect harmony. Talking about one person, Jesus.
- 29:29Speaker 2: And suddenly, Peter and James heard a voice from heaven. Saying,
- 29:34Speaker 2: this my beloved son in whom I am well pleased
- 29:37Speaker 2: hear him what is the meaning of that keep quiet
- 29:41Speaker 2: when you go to a river you don't give you
- 29:43Speaker 2: take listen to him meaning that they were not listening
- 29:56Speaker 2: and Jesus warned them Don't say this to anybody. There
- 30:04Speaker 2: are 12 disciples. But there are 3 custodians. Because if
- 30:11Speaker 2: you were there. You trust Peter. Our wonderful uncle. All
- 30:18Speaker 2: they have done. Hey. You need to know what happened
- 30:23Speaker 2: yesterday night. We saw Moses. Some of you have only
- 30:32Speaker 2: heard about some men. If I mention Jeremiah, do you
- 30:37Speaker 2: know what he looks like? Do you know what Isaiah
- 30:42Speaker 2: looked like? I don't know if you have people you
- 30:44Speaker 2: read about in Bible and you can't wait to see
- 30:46Speaker 2: them like David. You can't wait to see them in
- 30:50Speaker 2: that they are flowing robe and then carrying one harp.
- 30:58Speaker 2: Who have you seen now that you are shouting about
- 31:00Speaker 2: an angel Who did they see? Moses and Elijah. Not Elisha, Elijah.
- 31:15Speaker 2: Elijah didn't finish. If you read the story of Elijah alone,
- 31:24Speaker 2: you would have blamed Elijah and say he was an
- 31:28Speaker 2: angry prophet. He was this Until Elisha came and tried
- 31:34Speaker 2: to carry what he was carrying. And that's when he
- 31:38Speaker 2: discovered it takes more than just zeal to carry the anointing.
- 31:42Speaker 2: It takes a heart. And that heart was not too
- 31:57Speaker 2: big enough. Because If you read the Bible, Elisha looks
- 32:01Speaker 2: like the soft one. That's what you might normally think.
- 32:14Speaker 2: The dimension he was carrying, this is not even my direction,
- 32:18Speaker 2: just saying this in person. The dimension upon Elisha was
- 32:24Speaker 2: the dimension to bring unity, to bring the Gentiles to God.
- 32:30Speaker 2: The first area the enemy went for to attack him
- 32:32Speaker 2: was his heart. The current battle you are fighting is
- 32:40Speaker 2: not just about you, it's about what you represent. So
- 32:43Speaker 2: the most important faculty of you in fulfilling what you
- 32:46Speaker 2: represent is what is under attack. If you are prophetic,
- 32:51Speaker 2: your mind will be under attack. The devil wants to
- 32:54Speaker 2: fill it with pornography and lust. That's the place where
- 32:56Speaker 2: you could have captured the reality of God. If the
- 33:01Speaker 2: anointing of a father is upon your life towards a generation,
- 33:04Speaker 2: the first place that will be under attack is your heart.
- 33:07Speaker 2: Terrible songs will come. And they will make you not
- 33:10Speaker 2: believe in others coming. Do you hear what I'm saying?
- 33:23Speaker 2: So they had the foretaste. of the distance between them
- 33:30Speaker 2: and Jesus. Wide gap. They were sleeping in the same room,
- 33:38Speaker 2: but the distance between Christ and them was higher than
- 33:40Speaker 2: the distance of the heaven to the earth. Are you
- 33:50Speaker 2: aware that proximity is not access? Yes. How many of
- 33:57Speaker 2: you have stayed in the same room with a dead
- 33:59Speaker 2: body before? You have an uncle, a person, you went
- 34:03Speaker 2: to a mortuary, you went to an hospital, you were
- 34:06Speaker 2: in the same place with a dead person. Let me
- 34:07Speaker 2: see your hands up. Some of you have never had
- 34:10Speaker 2: the opportunity. I don't know if that's an opportunity. What
- 34:23Speaker 2: happens if someone is dead? They are right in front
- 34:29Speaker 2: of you. You are shouting their name. But they are
- 34:33Speaker 2: too far to hear. The distance is not kilometer distance.
- 34:37Speaker 2: It is realms. Let me explain. The distance between men
- 34:44Speaker 2: is not kilometers. It is not meters. It is not centimeters.
- 34:49Speaker 2: It is realms. Let me ask you a question. How
- 34:53Speaker 2: many of you If I'm transferring something from two gadgets
- 35:00Speaker 2: through Bluetooth, I'm not able to stand between the two
- 35:04Speaker 2: phones and interrupt the Bluetooth. The material for transmitting is here.
- 35:17Speaker 2: But it's flowing from another medium. Can you see it?
- 35:23Speaker 2: Do you see the music when the music is jumping
- 35:25Speaker 2: into this phone? I'm asking the question. But you are there.
- 35:30Speaker 2: You can be in a place and a whole lot
- 35:32Speaker 2: of spiritual reality will play out. And you are not
- 35:35Speaker 2: in the realm where they can be seen or trapped.
- 35:41Speaker 2: That's why I need to tell you. Many Christians will
- 35:45Speaker 2: make it to heaven. But not many can see Jesus.
- 35:50Speaker 2: At least not immediately. Immediately. This is a part we've
- 35:55Speaker 2: not been told. You say, Pastor, that's everything. Hold on.
- 36:03Speaker 2: This is a series for two months. Some of you
- 36:08Speaker 2: have uncles that are dead now. Huh? They died. Some
- 36:13Speaker 2: of them gave their life to Christ on their deathbed.
- 36:18Speaker 2: They quickly cried. And of course, no one who comes
- 36:23Speaker 2: to him will be casted away. Are they in heaven? Yes.
- 36:28Speaker 2: But as a babe. You can't comprehend him here on earth.
- 36:38Speaker 2: In heaven we'll still grow. So you think they are
- 36:47Speaker 2: saying grow now. It's just about making sure I'll get
- 36:50Speaker 2: to heaven. Some pastors on earth will be in pre-nozle
- 36:54Speaker 2: in heaven. It is not about the depth you teach,
- 36:58Speaker 2: it is about the depth you live. How many of
- 37:20Speaker 2: you have ever stayed in the same, if you have
- 37:23Speaker 2: younger ones, that the distance between you and them is
- 37:27Speaker 2: like 20 years. Those ones, they were not praying for
- 37:33Speaker 2: that king. And they disturbed the mood. They didn't know,
- 37:38Speaker 2: they were not really prayed for. They were not wanted,
- 37:41Speaker 2: but they are here. And they will let the whole
- 37:43Speaker 2: world know they are here. Those ones. I mean, you
- 37:48Speaker 2: had cousins who came to stay with you, but You
- 37:54Speaker 2: were on your phone chatting up your boo and just talking.
- 38:02Speaker 2: The guy is there. He thinks the sister or the
- 38:06Speaker 2: brother is busy doing something that makes sense. But he
- 38:10Speaker 2: doesn't know. They are in the same room. But they
- 38:16Speaker 2: are reasoning. What they are capable of. Their actions are
- 38:22Speaker 2: world apart. It doesn't matter the material you bring to
- 38:27Speaker 2: that boy. Now you cannot understand what this fellow understands.
- 38:31Speaker 2: Because you didn't get there with materials. A process took
- 38:34Speaker 2: you there. Many of you think book will immediately bring
- 38:38Speaker 2: you to the stature of the author. Book will show
- 38:48Speaker 2: you what the author knows. Then the pathway to getting there.
- 38:53Speaker 2: It doesn't bring you there. I have books I'm reading.
- 38:58Speaker 2: Some of them, this is the 12th time. And I've
- 39:01Speaker 2: not yet tasted those experiences they had. Amen. So, they
- 39:17Speaker 2: were talking to us. And as I read this scripture,
- 39:21Speaker 2: I kept biting my finger. Though I suspected Peter Why?
- 39:28Speaker 2: He has a track record. of saying things like that.
- 39:36Speaker 2: Brother Peter. Many of you may blame him now. But
- 39:42Speaker 2: regardless of the mystery, Paul will come to know. Jesus
- 39:46Speaker 2: saw the need for Peter to be the foundation. He
- 39:55Speaker 2: saw that need. We're not going there yet. So he
- 39:59Speaker 2: was asking. Let's rewind that scripture by five minutes. We're
- 40:10Speaker 2: all there. And Peter was there. John, let's assume you,
- 40:16Speaker 2: whatever your name is, now you are now among those twelve.
- 40:19Speaker 2: We are called twelve of Jesus. We call your name
- 40:21Speaker 2: Ebuka also is there. Let's assume. Fermi Lazarus, among the twelve.
- 40:27Speaker 2: Let's assume you were able to pick five minutes before
- 40:31Speaker 2: that time that you'll be taken from among, because they
- 40:35Speaker 2: didn't know. Let's assume you were able to pick five
- 40:39Speaker 2: minutes before that moment that this Jesus you are seeing now,
- 40:42Speaker 2: you will not see him again physically in this land
- 40:44Speaker 2: of the living. If you see him, it is in
- 40:48Speaker 2: the spirit realm. And we need to really explain many
- 40:49Speaker 2: things about that realm. As I'm looking at you now,
- 40:56Speaker 2: you discover that this is the last time you'll be
- 40:59Speaker 2: seeing him one-on-one like this, stepping on the same sand,
- 41:02Speaker 2: wearing the same clothes with you. Last time. And the
- 41:08Speaker 2: time keeps ticking. 4 minutes 55 seconds. 4 minutes 58 seconds.
- 41:13Speaker 2: 4 minutes 57 seconds. What kind of question will you ask?
- 41:26Speaker 2: What kind of request will you make? Because you know
- 41:35Speaker 2: the revelation of the one standing in front of you.
- 41:41Speaker 2: What would you do differently? It was a shocker. Suddenly
- 41:48Speaker 2: it was with them, the next minute, a cloud took
- 41:51Speaker 2: him up. And they were all looking at No words.
- 42:02Speaker 2: They didn't know what to think, what not to think.
- 42:08Speaker 2: Only for someone to stand there and say that the
- 42:12Speaker 2: same way you have seen him taken up, this same
- 42:15Speaker 2: Jesus is going to come back in like manner. This
- 42:19Speaker 2: is over 2,000 years. Let's assume they are still alive. Maybe.
- 42:27Speaker 2: many of them will have a lot of regret. I
- 42:28Speaker 2: wish I had maximized my time. And as I look
- 42:36Speaker 2: at this scripture, I remember what the event that transpired
- 42:48Speaker 2: in John chapter number 21. John 21. John 21. Let's
- 43:09Speaker 2: start reading from verse 18. Verily I say unto thee,
- 43:19Speaker 2: when thou wast young, thou grittest thyself, thou walkest without
- 43:24Speaker 2: thou wouldest. So according to God's equation, a baby is
- 43:29Speaker 2: the one that does what he wants to do. This
- 43:35Speaker 2: is the way Jesus looks at things. When you were young,
- 43:40Speaker 2: when you were small, you went anywhere you wanted to
- 43:44Speaker 2: go to. You do anything you wanted to do. But
- 43:47Speaker 2: it says that when you become, what? Of age. When
- 43:54Speaker 2: you behold, you will stretch your hand. Another will greet
- 44:00Speaker 2: you and carry you where you don't want to go.
- 44:04Speaker 2: This speak is signifying by what debt you should glorify
- 44:08Speaker 2: God And when he had spoken this, he said unto him,
- 44:14Speaker 2: follow me. That was the last thing he told Peter.
- 44:19Speaker 2: Then Peter turning about, seared the disciple whom Jesus loved.
- 44:26Speaker 2: Which book is this written? John. Seared the disciple whom
- 44:33Speaker 2: Jesus loved, following him. Which also leaned on his breast
- 44:38Speaker 2: at supper and said, Lord, which is he that betrayed him.
- 44:42Speaker 2: So it was describing, it was John that leaned at
- 44:45Speaker 2: the breast of Jesus at the supper. So according to
- 44:48Speaker 2: this scripture, it means John must have had that conversation
- 44:50Speaker 2: with Peter that when we were at that supper, when
- 44:53Speaker 2: I was laying on his chest, I hugged him and
- 44:54Speaker 2: he told me it is the one I give soup to.
- 44:56Speaker 2: You guys didn't see that then. He put soup in
- 44:58Speaker 2: the mouth of Judas. He knew. So John, they had
- 45:01Speaker 2: discussed that. Peter seeing him said to Jesus, Lord, what
- 45:10Speaker 2: shall this man do? Jesus said to him, If I
- 45:22Speaker 2: will that eternity like come, what is that to thee?
- 45:31Speaker 2: Follow thou me. Then went this saying abroad amongst brethren,
- 45:37Speaker 2: that that disciple should not die. Yes, Jesus said unto him,
- 45:44Speaker 2: He shall not die. But if I will that eternity
- 45:48Speaker 2: like come, What is that to thee? I don't have
- 45:54Speaker 2: time to go into all these things. And the reason
- 45:58Speaker 2: why I say I don't have time is not because
- 46:00Speaker 2: there is no time, but I feel you are not
- 46:01Speaker 2: ready for it. By implication, quoting the Bible, what Jesus
- 46:08Speaker 2: was saying here is that currently John is not dead.
- 46:22Speaker 2: Are there not many people like him? Enoch. Paul would
- 46:36Speaker 2: have been like this. He walked with God in Arabia
- 46:42Speaker 2: to a point that he was given the option to
- 46:46Speaker 2: vanish or to be made with the brethren. But he
- 46:48Speaker 2: chose God. Why did they fry John And he wouldn't
- 47:13Speaker 2: die Have you tried frying a fish before And after
- 47:20Speaker 2: frying the fish It shakes again I'm sure you will
- 47:27Speaker 2: leave the house for the fish. Pray in tongues. Pray
- 47:52Speaker 2: in tongues. In Jesus' mighty name, we are praying. Hallelujah.
- 48:16Speaker 2: Who is getting blessed? If I will that it tarry
- 48:38Speaker 2: till I come. When you read your Bible, what do
- 48:48Speaker 2: you see? The issue is that you are reading with
- 48:53Speaker 2: common sense. You have been told God is one kind.
- 48:59Speaker 2: You fit everything you read into that image you have
- 49:03Speaker 2: in your heart. So you cut, you subtract, you minus,
- 49:07Speaker 2: you divide as long as you fit into that image. Elijah,
- 49:14Speaker 2: a mortal man, rode on immortal horse and entered into eternity.
- 49:19Speaker 2: How did he do it? Did the Bible not say
- 49:24Speaker 2: that this corrupt body must first put on incorruption? How
- 49:28Speaker 2: did a man get there? It means incorruptible body swallowed
- 49:32Speaker 2: him while he was here. Let me take you back
- 49:40Speaker 2: to the Genesis of who we are. In the book
- 49:44Speaker 2: of Genesis, the outermost part of man is not flesh.
- 49:50Speaker 2: It was the spirit. That's why they were naked. Because
- 49:57Speaker 2: there was a covering of the glory. It was after
- 50:01Speaker 2: the fall that man was reduced to this sack. Because
- 50:13Speaker 2: after the fall, man by his divine creation, the glory
- 50:18Speaker 2: of God is the suit that envelops him. That's why
- 50:22Speaker 2: it takes a fallen man to see people after the flesh.
- 50:27Speaker 2: Are you seeing that? Many things are possible. The only
- 50:34Speaker 2: reason you are not seeing them is that God's image
- 50:37Speaker 2: has been sold to you in a particular way. And
- 50:40Speaker 2: you won't believe anything that does not fit into that.
- 50:46Speaker 2: If Methuselah can live for almost 1,000 years, what do
- 50:52Speaker 2: you think will take God to double it over John?
- 50:59Speaker 2: Man by making was not designed to know what death is.
- 51:02Speaker 2: Even after the fall, it took man to learn how
- 51:05Speaker 2: to die. And it took him hundreds of years to
- 51:10Speaker 2: He couldn't die. He had to be learning. And the
- 51:15Speaker 2: devil fast-tracked the process. It could have taken longer. He
- 51:18Speaker 2: made sure the first fellow that would exit this earth,
- 51:21Speaker 2: the soul was taken from him. Abel. From that moment,
- 51:27Speaker 2: there was a license for the earth to take the
- 51:29Speaker 2: life of man prematurely. After God finished everything, the first
- 51:34Speaker 2: person to exit, the life was snatched. So the first
- 51:39Speaker 2: death on earth was murder. It was not natural. Death
- 51:46Speaker 2: was empowered. But despite that, he still took man hundreds
- 51:57Speaker 2: of years. In Psalm 90 verse 10, most of you
- 52:02Speaker 2: need to understand in Psalm 90 verse 10, the Bible
- 52:04Speaker 2: is not saying that your years on earth should be 70.
- 52:06Speaker 2: Psalm 90 verse 10, look at what the Bible said there.
- 52:09Speaker 2: The days of our years are three score. A score
- 52:12Speaker 2: is 20, three score is 60, and 10. If by
- 52:14Speaker 2: reason of strength, they will force God. If you read
- 52:16Speaker 2: this story, this story was a complaint. It was a
- 52:20Speaker 2: complaint about the reason we were dying early. What you
- 52:33Speaker 2: need to know is that you can be powered The
- 52:40Speaker 2: same way you power a battery with electricity, you can
- 52:43Speaker 2: power yourself with the word. Just leave that. When you
- 52:51Speaker 2: are ready, we'll come there. So, it was John that
- 52:59Speaker 2: was the usual disciple that rests. You say, what does
- 53:04Speaker 2: this teaching have to do with the coming of Jesus?
- 53:06Speaker 2: Hold on. He rests usually on the chest of Jesus.
- 53:11Speaker 2: Was the beloved. If anybody wanted to know anything that
- 53:18Speaker 2: no other disciple knew, ask John. Not Peter.
- 53:29Speaker 3: John.
- 53:32Speaker 2: So of all of them, who was closest to Jesus? John.
- 53:41Speaker 2: But let's look at an event. Revelations chapter number 1.
- 53:54Speaker 2: Revelations 1. If you are there, say Amen. The revelation
- 54:07Speaker 2: of Jesus Christ. Which God gave him to show unto
- 54:10Speaker 2: his servant. The things which must surely come to pass.
- 54:14Speaker 2: And is sent and signified. By his angel unto his
- 54:18Speaker 2: servant John. Will bear record of the word of God.
- 54:20Speaker 2: And the testimony of Jesus Christ. Of all things that
- 54:23Speaker 2: he saw. Blessed is he that read it. And did
- 54:26Speaker 2: that hear the words of this prophecy. And keep those
- 54:29Speaker 2: things which are written therein. For the time is at hand.
- 54:32Speaker 2: John to the seven churches which are in Asia. Grace
- 54:36Speaker 2: be unto you and peace from him which is, which was,
- 54:40Speaker 2: and which is to come. From the seven spirits which
- 54:44Speaker 2: are before his throne. And from Jesus Christ who is
- 54:47Speaker 2: the faithful witness, the first begotten of the dead, the
- 54:52Speaker 2: prince of the kings of the earth, unto him that
- 54:55Speaker 2: loved us and washed us from our sin in his
- 54:58Speaker 2: own blood. and has made us kings and priests unto
- 55:01Speaker 2: God our Father, to him be glory and dominion forever
- 55:04Speaker 2: and ever. Amen. Behold, he cometh with cloud, and every
- 55:07Speaker 2: eye shall see him, and they which pierced him, and
- 55:11Speaker 2: all kindreds, and all earth shall wail because of him.
- 55:14Speaker 2: Even so, amen. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning
- 55:17Speaker 2: and the end, says the Lord, which is, which was,
- 55:20Speaker 2: and which is to come, the Almighty. I, John, who
- 55:23Speaker 2: also am your brother and companion in tribulations, And in
- 55:27Speaker 2: the kingdom of peace and patience. Of Jesus Christ. Which
- 55:32Speaker 2: is the higher that is called. Which sorry. In the
- 55:35Speaker 2: higher that is called Patmos. For the word of God.
- 55:38Speaker 2: And for the testimony of Christ. I was in the
- 55:41Speaker 2: spirit on the last day. And heard behind me a
- 55:44Speaker 2: great voice. As a trumpet. Saying. I am. Alpha. And Omega.
- 55:54Speaker 2: The first and the last. What voice did he say
- 55:58Speaker 2: he heard? He heard the sound like a trumpet. How
- 56:01Speaker 2: does the one you have spent your life with now
- 56:05Speaker 2: have a voice that sounds like a trumpet? It was
- 56:07Speaker 2: the same Jesus. Some of you had classmates in secondary school. Sometimes,
- 56:37Speaker 2: some of those that you bullied the most in class,
- 56:40Speaker 2: called them ugly. Called them dirty. Late. They are latecomers. Noisemakers.
- 56:49Speaker 2: You didn't really like them. But now, they are in
- 56:51Speaker 2: highly placed places that you wish you were still their friends.
- 56:57Speaker 2: And when they talk to you, you say, Like, is
- 56:59Speaker 2: this still you? Even John was the one saying this.
- 57:07Speaker 2: And when he heard this voice, he said, it's like
- 57:10Speaker 2: a trumpet. In John 21, when Jesus came to them,
- 57:16Speaker 2: after that they had risen, they couldn't recognize him. And
- 57:22Speaker 2: it was the same Jesus. Jesus. They were hungry. Peter
- 57:26Speaker 2: took them to fish. Jesus came. He didn't have to fish,
- 57:30Speaker 2: but yet he had fishes. And it was roasting. And
- 57:35Speaker 2: they looked at him steadfastly. And the disciple whom Jesus
- 57:39Speaker 2: loved said, that is Jesus. Peter said, what? The rest
- 57:45Speaker 2: were towing the sheep back to the land. Peter jumped
- 57:48Speaker 2: into the sea. And when they came, it was still
- 57:51Speaker 2: the same Jesus on the other side. He stooped down
- 57:54Speaker 2: and was roasting the fish. He had bread prepared for
- 57:56Speaker 2: children who should not live by bread alone. If this
- 58:03Speaker 2: is what you want to live for, let's start from
- 58:05Speaker 2: there again. When I started with you, it was still
- 58:09Speaker 2: around the same business. I thought you should have learned.
- 58:11Speaker 2: But since you have not learned, eat the fish and
- 58:13Speaker 2: eat the bread. And just when it was getting sweet
- 58:15Speaker 2: in his mouth, what Jesus cooked should be sweet. And
- 58:19Speaker 2: he had to ask Peter, with the bread still soft-stopped
- 58:22Speaker 2: in his mouth and the fishes. He said, Peter, love
- 58:27Speaker 2: has downed me more than this. It was not a
- 58:36Speaker 2: question that was asked when the man was answered with laughter.
- 58:40Speaker 2: Because when you hear of the judgment seat of Christ,
- 58:42Speaker 2: what comes to your mind? We will all come one
- 58:44Speaker 2: by one, and then we will stand, and we will
- 58:47Speaker 2: ask you, On 17th of October 2013, you said this
- 58:51Speaker 2: and you said that. The judgment of Christ is that
- 58:54Speaker 2: you will be shown what is and you will see
- 58:56Speaker 2: what you are. And impurities will be caught. How was
- 59:03Speaker 2: Isaiah judged in the day that Uzziah saw the Lord?
- 59:08Speaker 2: And what was his introduction? about himself? Woe is me,
- 59:12Speaker 2: for I am a man of uncleanliness. Who told him?
- 59:16Speaker 2: You are only boastful because you don't know what is.
- 59:24Speaker 2: When you think about heaven, what comes to your mind?
- 59:29Speaker 2: God is going to call everybody one after the other.
- 59:32Speaker 2: Maybe after 19 hours to be your own turn. Have
- 59:39Speaker 2: you seen believers before that just by seeing them an
- 59:44Speaker 2: action in your life was judged? You came to a
- 59:51Speaker 2: place with Toyota Corolla 2004 model. And you were shouting
- 1:00:05Speaker 2: to someone. Say, do you know who I am in
- 1:00:06Speaker 2: this place? Do you know who is talking to you?
- 1:00:08Speaker 2: Do you know? And while you were doing that, you
- 1:00:14Speaker 2: saw someone speaking nicely and even trying to calm you down.
- 1:00:19Speaker 2: And say, we are going on our knees and all
- 1:00:21Speaker 2: those things. And say, I will show you who I
- 1:00:24Speaker 2: am in this city. We run this city. And the
- 1:00:26Speaker 2: man said, we are sorry. And after the whole thing,
- 1:00:30Speaker 2: she entered a rose voice. What happens to you? Sense
- 1:00:36Speaker 2: is restored. And pride is judged by an action. So
- 1:00:48Speaker 2: when God says that we will judge angels, what do
- 1:00:49Speaker 2: you think? Some believers will walk in uprightness. And angels
- 1:00:57Speaker 2: will say, even horse that don't have the flesh, why
- 1:01:00Speaker 2: couldn't we meet up with this? When I go on
- 1:01:16Speaker 2: social media and I see people abusing ministers of God,
- 1:01:23Speaker 2: this is the only place they can do it. And
- 1:01:28Speaker 2: we'll see each other in heaven again. The difference will
- 1:01:33Speaker 2: be clear. Is this not the world where somebody will
- 1:01:39Speaker 2: look at someone like Pastor here at Deboy and say,
- 1:01:41Speaker 2: that's a boy. And you see Emmanuel has set his
- 1:01:48Speaker 2: face like a flint. It doesn't matter what you say,
- 1:01:50Speaker 2: I'm just going to meet my Savior. You say, what
- 1:01:55Speaker 2: does he know? The only place that allows bragging is where? Here.
- 1:02:01Speaker 2: It's the only place. Where somebody will tell you, man
- 1:02:16Speaker 2: of God, I need to come and show you. I
- 1:02:18Speaker 2: need to come and I need to show you where
- 1:02:20Speaker 2: I am. You need to know the Bible. Where is
- 1:02:22Speaker 2: the only place that allows such bragging? Here. Here. the
- 1:02:29Speaker 2: air I was in the spirit on the lost and
- 1:02:37Speaker 2: I heard behind me a great voice he said it
- 1:02:39Speaker 2: was a great voice as of a trumpet when you
- 1:02:42Speaker 2: hear a trumpet what comes to your mind you are
- 1:02:48Speaker 2: shaking to your core right saying I am alpha and
- 1:02:55Speaker 2: omega he didn't introduce himself to John as the normal
- 1:02:58Speaker 2: Jesus again The first and the last. What thou seest.
- 1:03:05Speaker 2: Write in a book. And send it unto the seven
- 1:03:07Speaker 2: churches in Asia. And I turned to see the voice
- 1:03:14Speaker 2: that spoke with me. Being turned. I will not even
- 1:03:22Speaker 2: be allowed to see the voice directly. There are protocols
- 1:03:26Speaker 2: I have to pass through. I turned to look at him.
- 1:03:28Speaker 2: You don't see him like that. Who are you? There
- 1:03:31Speaker 2: are seven golden candlesticks. What does this signify? There are
- 1:03:38Speaker 2: seven dimensions of the operation of the Spirit. Go to
- 1:03:44Speaker 2: verse 13. And in the midst of the seven candlesticks,
- 1:03:49Speaker 2: one like the Son of Man. Because if you look
- 1:03:52Speaker 2: at these candlesticks, you think they are the ones that
- 1:03:54Speaker 2: are sitting there. This is your candle, you buy 20
- 1:03:56Speaker 2: naira here. One like the Son of Man. And that's
- 1:04:03Speaker 2: why if you hear anyone talk about the description of heaven,
- 1:04:06Speaker 2: the word you keep saying is like, not as. You
- 1:04:13Speaker 2: have no adjective to qualify as it is. But like
- 1:04:18Speaker 2: the Son of Man, clothed with a white garment down
- 1:04:23Speaker 2: to the foot and greet about with palms of a
- 1:04:26Speaker 2: golden griddle. His head And his hair were white like wool.
- 1:04:35Speaker 2: As white as the snow. His eyes were as flame
- 1:04:38Speaker 2: of fire. And his feet like unto fine brass. As
- 1:04:44Speaker 2: if they were burned in the furnace. And his voice sound.
- 1:04:48Speaker 2: His voice as the sound of many waters. And he
- 1:04:55Speaker 2: had in his right hand seven stars. and out of
- 1:04:58Speaker 2: his mouth went a sharp two-edged sword, and his countenance
- 1:05:02Speaker 2: was as the sunshine. Can he put his head on
- 1:05:05Speaker 2: the chest of this same Jesus? Have you seen people
- 1:05:31Speaker 2: who used to know you when you were not up
- 1:05:33Speaker 2: to this? And now God has lifted you but they
- 1:05:36Speaker 2: have chosen in their heart to still relate with you
- 1:05:38Speaker 2: as a low person. That's not wisdom. That's the reason
- 1:05:45Speaker 2: why many have lost many relationships. When God elevates a man,
- 1:05:50Speaker 2: he will rise up in honor with that level. John,
- 1:06:01Speaker 2: what will you be thinking if you were John? So
- 1:06:06Speaker 2: Jesus was this powerful. Everything about heaven was around him
- 1:06:14Speaker 2: and about him. Have you seen an angel before? A
- 1:06:23Speaker 2: mighty angel. When we get to junctions of teachings, nobody
- 1:06:26Speaker 2: wants to admit they have seen angels. But when you
- 1:06:28Speaker 2: are boasting with your friends, you say you saw 24 angels.
- 1:06:37Speaker 2: There are angels that are bigger than this building. I
- 1:06:43Speaker 2: shared you a time I was on flight to Abuja.
- 1:06:48Speaker 2: And honestly, the turbulence that day was quite funny. And
- 1:06:56Speaker 2: I started confessing my love for Jesus. There's something that
- 1:06:59Speaker 2: will happen to you. And the Lord opened my eyes.
- 1:07:07Speaker 2: And I saw an angel. Like he carried the plane
- 1:07:10Speaker 2: on his shoulders. And between Lagos and Abuja, I only
- 1:07:15Speaker 2: saw him take three steps. I shared the story with you.
- 1:07:27Speaker 2: Of this prophet. What's his name again? Bob Jones. Men
- 1:07:39Speaker 2: have walked this earth. Have respect. Some men are not
- 1:07:51Speaker 2: your mate. They have walked this earth. A pastor was
- 1:08:01Speaker 2: to pick Bob Jones from the airport. He got to
- 1:08:05Speaker 2: the airport. He picked him. Bob Jones was already waiting.
- 1:08:10Speaker 2: Bob Jones said to him, you came late. The pastor said,
- 1:08:12Speaker 2: this is the time I was told to come. Though
- 1:08:15Speaker 2: he did that mistake twice, until Bob Jones now told
- 1:08:18Speaker 2: him that if you were walking by the street, you
- 1:08:20Speaker 2: would have been here earlier. Sometimes you talk to someone,
- 1:08:23Speaker 2: you take them time to understand. After the whole ministration
- 1:08:28Speaker 2: Bob Jones had in that city, Bob Jones said the
- 1:08:33Speaker 2: pastor should give him his number. He said, give me
- 1:08:36Speaker 2: your number. When you are in trouble, I will call you.
- 1:08:42Speaker 2: He didn't say, take my number. When you are in trouble,
- 1:08:44Speaker 2: call me. He said, give me your number. When you
- 1:08:47Speaker 2: are in trouble, I will call you. I will know
- 1:08:49Speaker 2: when you are in trouble. So, after a while, the
- 1:08:54Speaker 2: pastor started having nightmares. He was tormented at night. And
- 1:08:58Speaker 2: early in the morning, one day around 5 a.m., Bob
- 1:09:00Speaker 2: Jones called him. And he said, demons have been tormenting you, right?
- 1:09:06Speaker 2: The pastor was shocked. And he said, from now they
- 1:09:09Speaker 2: will not torment you. God is going to send his
- 1:09:11Speaker 2: divine messenger. This, this, this. After a few days, the
- 1:09:19Speaker 2: pastor was sleeping. Then he noticed that his bed was shaking.
- 1:09:29Speaker 2: And he thought there was an earthquake or something. You know,
- 1:09:33Speaker 2: you are sleeping and you are thinking many things. And
- 1:09:38Speaker 2: the pastor opened his eyes and he saw a man
- 1:09:43Speaker 2: standing by the bed. That was the reason why the
- 1:09:45Speaker 2: bed was shaking. And he just said, maybe a thief
- 1:09:48Speaker 2: has broken into this house. And as he said that,
- 1:09:51Speaker 2: the man was looking at him with more anger. And
- 1:09:54Speaker 2: he looked at the man. The man was dressed like
- 1:09:56Speaker 2: a wrestler. He had what they call this shingad there.
- 1:10:02Speaker 2: He was wearing the shoe like a wrestler. And as
- 1:10:05Speaker 2: the pastor thought to himself, that could this be an angel?
- 1:10:10Speaker 2: Then he vanished. Then Bob Jones called him. And he said,
- 1:10:20Speaker 2: You saw an angel this morning, right? He said, yes.
- 1:10:23Speaker 2: The pastor brought the issue up. Then Bob Jones said,
- 1:10:27Speaker 2: the angel you saw, did he look like a wrestler?
- 1:10:31Speaker 2: He said, yes. Was he wearing a band on his
- 1:10:35Speaker 2: leg like a fighter? He said, yes. Was he in
- 1:10:39Speaker 2: a bad mood? He said, yes. He said, that's Michael.
- 1:10:43Speaker 2: He's always in a bad mood. What the whole world
- 1:10:56Speaker 2: is dealing with is just one devil. There are other
- 1:11:02Speaker 2: powerful angels that fell. That they have to be locked
- 1:11:06Speaker 2: up in Euphrates. If they are allowed to roam the earth,
- 1:11:09Speaker 2: it will be trouble. But there are some also that
- 1:11:11Speaker 2: fell with him. The Bible called them spiritual wickedness in
- 1:11:14Speaker 2: high places. God didn't allow them to have influence over
- 1:11:17Speaker 2: the earth. If they should. The Bible was described in
- 1:11:28Speaker 2: Revelation 20. Just one angel controls the body of water.
- 1:11:31Speaker 2: 70% of the earth, one. Now we are talking about Jesus.
- 1:11:48Speaker 2: Not Lucifer. God who became flesh. Man can never understand
- 1:11:59Speaker 2: such level of humility. If you hear that God became flesh,
- 1:12:06Speaker 2: it won't sound like humility until you know what he
- 1:12:08Speaker 2: was living for what he was taking. This sounds like humility.
- 1:12:18Speaker 2: Because you didn't know where it was coming from. You're
- 1:12:21Speaker 2: only a champion to those that know you. And John was.
- 1:12:38Speaker 2: Look at what happened in verse 17. Revelations 1 verse 17.
- 1:12:43Speaker 2: Can they project it? Okay. And when I saw him,
- 1:12:48Speaker 2: I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid
- 1:12:53Speaker 2: his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not,
- 1:12:56Speaker 2: I am the first and the last. Somebody say, this
- 1:13:01Speaker 2: same Jesus. If you want to say, we're there together now,
- 1:13:13Speaker 2: we're there for her together. There's a system. function, you
- 1:13:17Speaker 2: dare not. Nobody needs to tell you to have sense.
- 1:13:24Speaker 2: It is only fading glow you can see interact that with.
- 1:13:27Speaker 2: This kind, you dare not. You won't even want to
- 1:13:31Speaker 2: do it. It won't even come to you to do it.
- 1:13:34Speaker 2: It can't come. I heard one of our pastors was talking.
- 1:13:56Speaker 2: And he said there was a day he was talking
- 1:14:02Speaker 2: and he wanted to say Pastor Femi. And it was
- 1:14:06Speaker 2: like a force, forced his mouth to say Papa. Somebody
- 1:14:16Speaker 2: look and say, why are they calling these young people Papa?
- 1:14:18Speaker 2: You know I've spoken against people. What did they do?
- 1:14:22Speaker 2: If you know the way you are supposed to know,
- 1:14:24Speaker 2: a force will tell you it's not your age, mate.
- 1:14:28Speaker 2: I'm not talking about myself, no. Ministers of the gospel.
- 1:14:31Speaker 2: You want to bother. There's a witness. Keep quiet there.
- 1:14:48Speaker 2: As I saw him I fell at his feet as dead.
- 1:14:53Speaker 2: This is the first time they are using the word
- 1:14:55Speaker 2: as and not like. What is the meaning? He passed out.
- 1:15:09Speaker 2: And he laid his right hand upon me saying unto me,
- 1:15:12Speaker 2: fear not. I am the first and the last. Another introduction.
- 1:15:19Speaker 2: And this is not pride. If you introduce yourself in
- 1:15:24Speaker 2: light of what you are not, it is pride. When
- 1:15:28Speaker 2: God was introducing himself to Moses, he said, I am
- 1:15:31Speaker 2: the Lord. I am the Lord God. The first time
- 1:15:35Speaker 2: he met Moses, what names would I tell Pharaoh that
- 1:15:38Speaker 2: you are? He said, tell him, I am that I am.
- 1:15:42Speaker 2: Funny names. Unconventional names. I am a he that liveth
- 1:15:51Speaker 2: and was dead and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen.
- 1:15:53Speaker 2: And have the keys of hell and death.
- 1:15:55Speaker 3: 19.
- 1:15:56Speaker 2: Write these things with our sin. John. Are you saying
- 1:16:07Speaker 2: the same Jesus? We had fish together. We had bread together.
- 1:16:14Speaker 2: There was a time he was baffling in the bedroom.
- 1:16:16Speaker 2: I took bucket. I went to get more water for
- 1:16:18Speaker 2: him because the soup... The water was not enough. Because
- 1:16:25Speaker 2: you need to understand that they lived the same normal
- 1:16:27Speaker 2: life we lived. We were together when we went to
- 1:16:35Speaker 2: see Peter's mother-in-law. We ate the bread together. They were
- 1:16:38Speaker 2: not just eating bread. When you think about that, you
- 1:16:41Speaker 2: just think of bread. We ate the bread together. We
- 1:16:44Speaker 2: drank the wine. Hold on. Within how many years? This
- 1:16:52Speaker 2: is AD 70. The gap between them is already eternity.
- 1:16:58Speaker 2: Just how many years? John would have been thinking, was
- 1:17:10Speaker 2: he like this before he came or he became this
- 1:17:12Speaker 2: after he came? Whatever this is, what's happening? What's happening?
- 1:17:22Speaker 2: until John saw Revelations 4. Give me Revelations 4. I
- 1:17:35Speaker 2: think you need to understand that the kind of vision
- 1:17:37Speaker 2: that birthed the book of Revelation was not vision of
- 1:17:41Speaker 2: the night. It was not the one you sleep and
- 1:17:46Speaker 2: wake up. It was the kind. It was a curse.
- 1:17:49Speaker 2: It was a wake up It was divine intention to
- 1:17:54Speaker 2: get the only place you could have gotten the privacy
- 1:17:57Speaker 2: in there for this was on an island. Near death.
- 1:18:07Speaker 2: That was the exact angle of alignment needed to see
- 1:18:11Speaker 2: this kind. Near death. Let me say it again. Near death.
- 1:18:19Speaker 2: That was the needed angle So this kind of vision
- 1:18:22Speaker 2: is not for those who have just finished taking rise.
- 1:18:29Speaker 2: You must have given up on all things and everyone
- 1:18:32Speaker 2: have given up on you. Believing you are no more.
- 1:18:34Speaker 2: You can't be anymore. That's the kind of privacy in
- 1:18:38Speaker 2: there for this. And Revelation chapter number 4. After this
- 1:18:43Speaker 2: I looked and behold a door was opened in heaven
- 1:18:46Speaker 2: and the first voice which I heard was as it
- 1:18:48Speaker 2: were a trumpet talking with me which said, Come up
- 1:18:51Speaker 2: either and I will shield thee the things which must
- 1:18:54Speaker 2: be hereafter. You must understand the book of Revelation was
- 1:18:57Speaker 2: not angels walking him to heaven to show him. It
- 1:18:59Speaker 2: was the revelation of Jesus given to John. And immediately
- 1:19:04Speaker 2: I was in the spirit and behold a throne was
- 1:19:07Speaker 2: set in heaven and one sat on the throne. quickly.
- 1:19:11Speaker 2: And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper,
- 1:19:14Speaker 2: like a sardine stone. And there was a rainbow above
- 1:19:17Speaker 2: the throne, in sight like unto an emerald. And round
- 1:19:20Speaker 2: about the throne were four and twenty seats. And upon
- 1:19:23Speaker 2: the seat I saw, he took note of the seat
- 1:19:26Speaker 2: before he saw the elder. It takes a magnificent seat
- 1:19:29Speaker 2: for you to notice the seat and those sitting upon.
- 1:19:31Speaker 2: He had to separate them. The queen of Sheba came
- 1:19:35Speaker 2: to see the wisdom of Solomon. She met his servant
- 1:19:38Speaker 2: and She was bewildered. The men that stood before Solomon,
- 1:19:46Speaker 2: they looked better than the children of Solomon she had.
- 1:19:48Speaker 2: He took note of the majesty, the magnificence of where
- 1:19:54Speaker 2: he was. Upon the seat, I saw 420 elders. And
- 1:20:01Speaker 2: when the Bible says elders, these are elders. I bet
- 1:20:03Speaker 2: you don't know what an elder looks like. When most
- 1:20:09Speaker 2: of them walked, they were abused. Some of them didn't
- 1:20:14Speaker 2: have the opportunity of walking in fame. An elder is
- 1:20:18Speaker 2: not necessarily a man with great ministry. An elder is
- 1:20:21Speaker 2: a man with a great walk. Cathedrals does not make
- 1:20:27Speaker 2: an elder. It is the degree to which Christ is formed.
- 1:20:30Speaker 2: Oh God. Oh God. And these elders, they were also
- 1:20:43Speaker 2: clothed in white garment and they had on their head
- 1:20:46Speaker 2: crown of gold. The crown is a sign that they overcame.
- 1:20:50Speaker 2: So the elders were men. I don't have time to
- 1:20:56Speaker 2: go into the theology of this. It's a very serious issue.
- 1:21:04Speaker 2: No elder will see themselves as an held down head.
- 1:21:20Speaker 2: And out of the throne proceed lightnings. Nothing here can
- 1:21:26Speaker 2: make room for familiarity. Lightnings and thunderings and voices. There
- 1:21:34Speaker 2: were seven lamps of fire. He could see the candlestick better.
- 1:21:38Speaker 2: These are not candles. They were lamps. Burning before the
- 1:21:45Speaker 2: throne which are the seven spirits of God. And before
- 1:21:50Speaker 2: the throne, there was a sea. Not a river. If
- 1:22:02Speaker 2: this was mathematics, I would ask you, at what angle
- 1:22:05Speaker 2: was he seeing this? Definitely over to sea. The throne
- 1:22:13Speaker 2: seemed close, but yet far away enough to contain a sea.
- 1:22:21Speaker 2: A sea of glass like crystal in the midst of
- 1:22:24Speaker 2: the tomb. And around about the tomb were four beasts
- 1:22:27Speaker 2: full of ice. So, if you feel you are an elder,
- 1:22:31Speaker 2: there is also another beast. And they are full of ice.
- 1:22:36Speaker 2: And the first beast was like a lion. And the
- 1:22:41Speaker 2: second beast was like a calf. And the third beast
- 1:22:44Speaker 2: had face as a man. And the fourth beast was
- 1:22:46Speaker 2: like a flying eagle. And all these beasts will have
- 1:22:59Speaker 2: their own time. We're having a foretaste of the ego
- 1:23:06Speaker 2: dimension now. Though, if you combine the revelation of John
- 1:23:16Speaker 2: and the revelation of Ezekiel, it won't look like four
- 1:23:22Speaker 2: beasts anymore. It will look like a beast with four sides.
- 1:23:26Speaker 2: Just leave that And the fourth beast had each of
- 1:23:31Speaker 2: them six wings about him, and they were full of
- 1:23:34Speaker 2: eyes within, and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, Holy, Holy,
- 1:23:42Speaker 2: Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.
- 1:23:49Speaker 2: And when those beasts gave glory and honor and thanks
- 1:23:52Speaker 2: to him that sat on the throne, who liveth forever,
- 1:23:56Speaker 2: The 420 elders fall down before him that sat on
- 1:24:02Speaker 2: the throne and worshipped him that lived for heaven ever
- 1:24:05Speaker 2: and cast their crowns before the throne. Who was John seeing?
- 1:24:13Speaker 2: The same Jesus. The thunder looked like something that can
- 1:24:24Speaker 2: strike you dead. If you dare to get familiar. There
- 1:24:33Speaker 2: were thunders. There were lightnings. Look at what John saw
- 1:24:41Speaker 2: in Revelations 5. And I'm going to round up here tonight.
- 1:24:50Speaker 2: Revelations chapter number 5. Ah! Time. And I saw in
- 1:24:59Speaker 2: the right hand of him that sat on the throne
- 1:25:02Speaker 2: a book written within and on the backside sealed with
- 1:25:06Speaker 2: seven seals. And I saw a strong angel proclaim with
- 1:25:11Speaker 2: a loud voice who is worthy to open the book
- 1:25:14Speaker 2: and to loose the seals thereof. And no man in
- 1:25:22Speaker 2: heaven nor in earth neither under the earth was able
- 1:25:27Speaker 2: to open the book, neither to look thereon. And I
- 1:25:32Speaker 2: wept much because no man was found worthy. It means
- 1:25:36Speaker 2: that this is a seal that is to be accessed
- 1:25:39Speaker 2: by men. What is the meaning of this? At some point,
- 1:25:47Speaker 2: a man needs to enter into a stature that is
- 1:25:49Speaker 2: worthy to open these seals. And these are vital seals
- 1:25:53Speaker 2: that need to be opened. There are still more seals
- 1:25:55Speaker 2: we are yet to open. It is not to the
- 1:25:56Speaker 2: advantage of the church that the scrolls are closed. If
- 1:26:01Speaker 2: we had time to read, we'll look at what each
- 1:26:04Speaker 2: seal represents and they show their events that will play
- 1:26:07Speaker 2: out in there. Some of them are played out. Why
- 1:26:10Speaker 2: is it important that someone is able to open the seal?
- 1:26:13Speaker 2: Because knowing what the seal contains will help our preparation.
- 1:26:21Speaker 2: Are you aware that Matthew 24 is a seal of
- 1:26:27Speaker 2: Show us what would be the sign of your coming.
- 1:26:28Speaker 2: Somebody is trying to pop a seal open. And I
- 1:26:37Speaker 2: wept much because no man was fond of what did.
- 1:26:40Speaker 2: To open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.
- 1:26:44Speaker 2: Verse 6. Verse 5. And one of the elders said
- 1:26:47Speaker 2: unto me, weep.
- 1:26:48Speaker 1: Not, behold.
- 1:26:49Speaker 2: Behold. The lion of the tribe of Judah, the root
- 1:26:58Speaker 2: of David, had prevailed to open the book and to
- 1:27:03Speaker 2: loose the seven seals thereof. He wept because he knew
- 1:27:18Speaker 2: the significance for humanity. This has to be opened.
- 1:27:25Speaker 3: Noma.
- 1:27:28Speaker 2: Good. Not in heaven at that point. Not in the earth.
- 1:27:40Speaker 2: This is very important. If you look at Revelation 7-9,
- 1:27:49Speaker 2: Revelation 7-9, if I'm not making a mistake, Revelation 7,
- 1:27:53Speaker 2: and I beheld. Now, look up. What was captured here
- 1:28:06Speaker 2: is the number of saints that will be standing after rapture.
- 1:28:15Speaker 2: A great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations,
- 1:28:18Speaker 2: all kingdoms, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne
- 1:28:22Speaker 2: and before the Lamb, clothed with ripe white robes and
- 1:28:25Speaker 2: palms in their hands. These are the ones who are prevailed.
- 1:28:29Speaker 2: But it is important the seals are opened. In heaven
- 1:28:37Speaker 2: it is settled. In heaven power must settle it here.
- 1:28:46Speaker 2: God knows all who are captured here. And it takes
- 1:28:52Speaker 2: power to make this a reality. Some sons must operate
- 1:28:57Speaker 2: in a level to make sure There are not just
- 1:29:00Speaker 2: fewer here. But what was in the mind of John
- 1:29:13Speaker 2: when all this was happening? I had the privilege to
- 1:29:24Speaker 2: be the one that the whole heaven is centered around him.
- 1:29:29Speaker 2: For three and a half years. What did I do
- 1:29:32Speaker 2: with that Jesus? This same Jesus that the Bible says
- 1:29:38Speaker 2: in you, the hope of glory. What are you doing
- 1:29:43Speaker 2: with that same Jesus? It is still the same Jesus
- 1:29:49Speaker 2: that is living in you by the Holy Ghost that
- 1:29:51Speaker 2: is coming again in the clouds. Jesus. You can treat
- 1:29:59Speaker 2: him anyhow now, but the days coming, the old head
- 1:30:01Speaker 2: will tremble before him. The same Jesus that some pastors
- 1:30:07Speaker 2: have used to dupe people. The same Jesus some have
- 1:30:10Speaker 2: used to sleep with members. The same Jesus that some
- 1:30:13Speaker 2: had used to lie. The same Jesus they had used
- 1:30:16Speaker 2: to extort. The same Jesus some had used to kill
- 1:30:19Speaker 2: and bury people in their church. The same Jesus some
- 1:30:21Speaker 2: had trivialized. The same Jesus people have lied about, lied on,
- 1:30:25Speaker 2: lied against. It is still the same Jesus coming. When
- 1:30:30Speaker 2: your eyes of understanding is open here, you will fear him. Why?
- 1:30:35Speaker 2: He will be revealed to you. The same Jesus who
- 1:30:44Speaker 2: woke up in the morning and didn't say hello to.
- 1:30:52Speaker 2: Didn't say hello. The same Jesus who don't say good
- 1:30:55Speaker 2: morning to. The same Jesus we don't acknowledge as much
- 1:30:58Speaker 2: as he's trying to help us in everything we want to.
- 1:31:01Speaker 2: The same Jesus we ignore in our decision making process.
- 1:31:06Speaker 2: This same Jesus is coming again. It is that Jesus
- 1:31:18Speaker 2: within you. The one that after this message you move
- 1:31:23Speaker 2: on with your life. It doesn't matter What happens to him?
- 1:31:28Speaker 2: The same Jesus you are afraid to stand and testify
- 1:31:31Speaker 2: of in the bus. The same Jesus you are now
- 1:31:35Speaker 2: too big to walk for on the street and win
- 1:31:37Speaker 2: souls for. It is that same Jesus. It's bad in
- 1:31:43Speaker 2: our heads. And talk to God. I don't want to
- 1:31:56Speaker 2: take you for granted anymore I don't want to take
- 1:32:02Speaker 2: you for granted anymore I don't want to take you
- 1:32:08Speaker 2: for granted anymore I don't want to take you for
- 1:32:15Speaker 2: granted anymore I don't want to take you for granted
- 1:32:24Speaker 2: anymore I don't want to take you for granted anymore.
- 1:32:39Speaker 2: I don't want to take you for granted.
- 1:32:41Speaker 3: Help me, Lord, never.
- 1:32:57Speaker 2: To take you for granted anymore. I'm wasting the access
- 1:33:04Speaker 2: I have to you now. And one day we'll see
- 1:33:07Speaker 2: you face to face. And I don't want to wish
- 1:33:11Speaker 2: I had done better. I don't want to wish I
- 1:33:14Speaker 2: had done better. I want to maximize my relationship with
- 1:33:18Speaker 2: you now.
- 1:33:18Speaker 1: I want to maximize it, Lord.
- 1:33:29Speaker 2: I want to maximize it, Lord. I want to maximize
- 1:33:47Speaker 2: it I want to see you I want to know
- 1:33:52Speaker 2: your grace so I can live your day I want
- 1:34:01Speaker 2: to see you Just the way you are. Help me, Jesus.
- 1:34:44Speaker 2: Thank you, Lord. In Jesus' mighty name, we are praying.
- 1:34:53Speaker 2: Rise to your feet. Let me say this to every
- 1:35:11Speaker 2: one of you. We have not just been called to
- 1:35:17Speaker 2: walk for God. We have been called to walk with God.
- 1:35:25Speaker 2: Our stature is not based on the work we do
- 1:35:28Speaker 2: for Him. Remember Uzzah. His hands are not shutting to
- 1:35:35Speaker 2: you to do anything he wants you to do. If
- 1:35:37Speaker 2: you will not walk with him, don't walk for him.
- 1:35:41Speaker 2: He would prefer that you walk with him and finish
- 1:35:46Speaker 2: strong than to walk for him and waste your life
- 1:35:49Speaker 2: and waste away. I'm telling you. This is his mindset.
- 1:35:55Speaker 2: Was it not matter that I was busy cooking and
- 1:35:57Speaker 2: doing all those kind of wonderful stuff for him and
- 1:36:00Speaker 2: except Mary had chosen the better path They had chosen
- 1:36:04Speaker 2: the better path. Intimacy is the first call. He called
- 1:36:08Speaker 2: the twelve that they should be with him. Then he
- 1:36:12Speaker 2: might send them forth. When you hear about the last days,
- 1:36:15Speaker 2: what comes to your mind? You want to quickly win
- 1:36:17Speaker 2: as many souls as possible. Use the sword as an
- 1:36:20Speaker 2: anchor first before it becomes a weapon of war. As
- 1:36:24Speaker 2: an anchor in what sense? We are fighting on a
- 1:36:26Speaker 2: slippery ground. Let it hold you firmly first. You don't
- 1:36:33Speaker 2: keep fighting and you fall off and you wander away.
- 1:36:36Speaker 2: Many of you are far from what I'm teaching. You
- 1:36:38Speaker 2: are like the distance between you and what I'm saying.
- 1:36:41Speaker 2: The depth of it is like the distance between heaven
- 1:36:44Speaker 2: and hell. You can't understand. You can't comprehend. It tells
- 1:36:46Speaker 2: you you are living a dangerous life. If you can't
- 1:36:50Speaker 2: comprehend these basics, how do you want to comprehend standing
- 1:36:54Speaker 2: before him? Some people can't understand what I'm saying. These
- 1:37:01Speaker 2: things are too deep. And you have the same Bible,
- 1:37:04Speaker 2: the same Holy Ghost, the same 24 hours. When we
- 1:37:08Speaker 2: get to this point, we lose you every time. You
- 1:37:10Speaker 2: buy other books about business, about finance, nothing about your soul.
- 1:37:18Speaker 2: So the church is backward. We are driven with every
- 1:37:21Speaker 2: wind of doctrine. If anybody says this now, everything you know,
- 1:37:24Speaker 2: you are confused again. You are wondering who is saying
- 1:37:27Speaker 2: the truth. You have no firm anchor anywhere. If somebody comes...
- 1:37:37Speaker 2: Hold on. What kind of boldness did Paul have that
- 1:37:39Speaker 2: he said, if any man brings another gospel, whether an
- 1:37:42Speaker 2: angel or man, let them be accursed. How will a
- 1:37:44Speaker 2: man say, if angel tell you something else, let the
- 1:37:47Speaker 2: angel be cursed. He knew what he was saying. He
- 1:37:50Speaker 2: knew the depth. He knew the extent. He had journey
- 1:37:54Speaker 2: with God enough to know no angel should have anything contrary.
- 1:37:58Speaker 2: That was a man speaking. An angel would say, yes sir.
- 1:38:03Speaker 2: And the truth is backward. Backward. Far from this truth.
- 1:38:07Speaker 2: Many churches no longer have time to talk about this coming.
- 1:38:09Speaker 1: But it will come.
- 1:38:12Speaker 2: And ignorance is no difference. It will come. And that's
- 1:38:16Speaker 2: why many of us have the effort to live our
- 1:38:18Speaker 2: lives the way we want to. Make any kind of decision.
- 1:38:21Speaker 2: Make any choice. You have not got the revelation that
- 1:38:26Speaker 2: you are standing before God. I want to lead you
- 1:38:45Speaker 2: in prayer. Say Lord help me. Help me. I'm tired
- 1:38:54Speaker 2: of playing church. I'm tired of looking like it. I
- 1:38:57Speaker 2: want to catch the glimpse of your revelation.
