Welcome to NECF Sermons.
0:05
Each message here is designed to uplift and strengthen you in your walk with God.
0:11
Don't miss out, stay with us until the end for our rewarding experience.
0:16
Let's dive right in.
0:20
In a way to introduce some of the things that we'll be discussing and then going through
0:24
the Scriptures, we understand that Christ spoke from the Scriptures.
0:33
And we understand that when we say the Scriptures, we don't mean Old Testament and we don't
0:38
mean New Testament.
0:40
We also understand also that we've been taught, if you have been in this church, we've been
0:45
taught that both Old Testament and New Testament are all Scriptures.
0:53
And we also understand why we say they are all Scriptures.
0:57
We established that one is because they were not a product of man's will.
1:02
They never originated from the will of man.
1:06
Hallelujah.
1:07
And the prophets spoke as they were inspired by the Holy Ghost.
1:13
And we also understand also they are all Scriptures because they carry one message.
1:18
And what is the message?
1:19
The message of Christ concerning Jesus.
1:25
So why Matthew is the Scripture, why Genesis is also a Scripture, is because they were
1:32
never from the origin of man's will.
1:36
Praise God.
1:38
Secondly, we also understand that as many that were canonized, the books that were canonized
1:46
for us today, that we are going through, right, and we pull all together, we understand also
1:51
that all the saints came or the prophets spoke or the apostles spoke as they were inspired
2:00
by the Spirit of God.
2:02
We also understand that all of them have one message.
2:07
And the message is about who concerning Christ.
2:11
Hallelujah.
2:12
Praise God.
2:13
So we also say, so when I take New Testament and I'm reading New Testament, actually what
2:19
you're doing is that you are actually reading the Old Testament.
2:24
Hallelujah.
2:25
Why?
2:26
Because we see the Old Testament and the stories that we see revealed now by the Spirit of
2:32
God in New Testament.
2:34
So I'm using Old Testament and New Testament now because of, you know, this teaching now,
2:39
right?
2:40
See, when Moses wrote Genesis, he didn't intend that it will be an Old Testament book.
2:48
When Paul wrote his letters, he didn't say, I, Paul the apostle, a servant of Christ,
2:53
am writing to the church in Ephesus.
2:55
You, this letter of mine, in time to come, classify it as a New Testament.
3:01
No.
3:02
So translators will sit down in a way to help us, right, and put the thoughts now, they
3:08
will now put everything and then we have the classification of Old Testament that was and
3:14
New Testament and then further now divided into chapters and verses.
3:19
And I gave us an assignment.
3:21
I don't know whether anyone was able to go and check, right, to go to a Bible without
3:27
chapters and verses just to read, even if it is one page, right?
3:32
You will be able to now see all the things that we said on Sunday.
3:37
So, we also established Christ got that from where?
3:44
For him to say all authority in heaven and in earth has been given to me.
3:51
Where did he get that from?
3:52
Or all power?
3:54
We said from the scriptures.
3:56
How did we know from the scriptures?
3:59
We now read Luke 24.
4:01
Everybody, let's go to 24.
4:04
Luke 24, from verse 25.
4:09
Then he said unto them, O fools and slow of heart, to believe that all that the prophets
4:16
have spoken, or not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory.
4:27
And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures
4:37
the things concerning himself.
4:42
Verse 44 now.
4:43
And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you while I was yet with
4:50
you, that all things must be fulfilled.
4:53
All the things must be fulfilled, the things that the prophets and Moses have spoken about,
5:01
inspired by the spirit of God, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets,
5:08
and in the psalms concerning me.
5:11
So we can put that verse like this.
5:14
Brethren, while I was yet, O from verse 44, and he said unto them, These are the words
5:19
which I spake unto you while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled from
5:27
the scriptures concerning me.
5:31
Amen.
5:32
And then he opened their understanding that they might understand what the scriptures,
5:40
that they might understand what Moses said, that they might understand what the prophets
5:46
said concerning who?
5:48
Concerning me, concerning Christ, concerning himself.
5:52
So Christ now, having also have an understanding of the scriptures, now you see, you see it's
5:59
a dangerous thing for the believer to have utterances that are ignoramus.
6:06
When I say ignoramus, he now is just saying things because people are saying it.
6:11
Your identity as a believer must be validated by the gospel.
6:15
Did you hear what I said?
6:17
He said in him, in us, in us, we always said, in him we live, in him we move, in him we
6:23
have our being.
6:25
Your life as a believer must be within the environment of God's word.
6:31
Our actions, our thoughts, it's a being of big, do not be conformed to the patterns of
6:37
the world, Romans chapter 12, but be it transformed by the world, by the renewing of your mind.
6:46
Your mind being transformed, being renewed by what?
6:51
By God's word.
6:52
All the things that participate in life and godliness has been given to us, right, through
6:57
the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ, our Lord.
7:01
So the knowledge we have must be standing or must have a source from the scriptures.
7:10
So there was a time in this church we had a thing, effective, I think effective Christian
7:16
life, right?
7:17
Yeah, it is one of these years that we had a thing, effective Christian living or effective
7:21
Christian life, one of it.
7:23
So that word effective Christian life, every Christian life is supposed to be effective.
7:29
But when we see 1 Corinthians, for example, 1 Corinthians chapter 3, it's happening in
7:34
your life, right, where you ought to be spiritual, but now you are acting as canal, right?
7:41
Be now understand that your knowledge is faulty regarding the scriptures.
7:46
Your communications, your sayings are what?
7:49
Are faulty.
7:51
So Jesus could not be speaking because he felt he is Christ.
7:56
No, Jesus will have to be speaking from where?
7:59
From the written word.
8:00
The believer must operate from the written word.
8:03
That's what I've been saying.
8:04
That is where we, that is the manual for our operation from the written word.
8:10
And so now we are realized that the scriptures are concerning Christ, right?
8:16
And we now read 1 Corinthians chapter 15, everybody.
8:19
1 Corinthians chapter 15.
8:22
Thank you, Holy Spirit.
8:23
This evening I came, you know, experienced some symptoms of headache, but the symptom
8:29
is gone now.
8:30
Hallelujah.
8:31
Yes, it's gone now.
8:32
I can't feel it again.
8:33
1 Corinthians chapter 15 from verse 3.
8:36
For I deliver unto you first of all that which I also received.
8:42
Now you see how that Christ died for our sins according to what?
8:49
According to the scriptures.
8:50
Hallelujah.
8:51
So which means the scriptures, how Christ died, the scriptures spoke about it.
8:57
Amen.
8:58
Verse 4, and that he was buried and that he rose the third day, we are reading 1 Corinthians
9:04
15, verse 4, and that he was buried and that he rose again the third day according to the
9:12
what?
9:13
According to the scriptures.
9:16
And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve and then the communication continues.
9:21
How that Christ died according to what?
9:23
The scriptures.
9:25
And Jesus now is saying, you know, Moses and the prophets spoke my sufferings and how I
9:31
will enter into my glory.
9:33
Amen.
9:34
And he opened their understanding that they may understand all these realities.
9:41
So the reality of what we are doing when we go through the word, when we are taught in
9:46
the words, you know, to understand the word of faith is that we understand our reality
9:52
in Christ.
9:53
We understand our reality in Christ.
9:55
Now we also start to understand on something.
9:59
Right?
10:00
Can we go to Acts chapter 19, everybody?
10:01
Acts chapter 19, verse 20.
10:03
Acts chapter 19, verse 20.
10:06
So mightily grew the word of God and it what?
10:10
And it prevailed.
10:11
Hallelujah.
10:12
At this time, Paul was not teaching from Ephesians.
10:17
Paul was not teaching from Galatians.
10:20
He wasn't teaching from Romans.
10:24
Paul was teaching from Genesis to what?
10:26
To Malachi.
10:27
Praise God.
10:28
Can you imagine that Paul could preach so mightily and the knowledge and the influence
10:37
of Genesis to Malachi, hew in the city in a span of two years.
10:44
It grew that in all of, go to verse 10, everybody go to verse 10, go to verse 10, 19, 10.
10:50
And this continued by the space of two years so that all day which dwelt in Asia had the
10:58
word of God in Ephesians and in Galatians.
11:02
Is that what it means?
11:04
No?
11:05
Had the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and what?
11:11
What is the word of the Lord there?
11:12
What is the word of the Lord Jesus?
11:14
Genesis to Malachi.
11:16
Acts chapter two now.
11:18
Let's immediately see Acts chapter two.
11:20
Acts chapter two.
11:21
Immediately when Peter stood to speak, Acts chapter two, you're going to see lots and
11:27
lots of statements from Genesis to Malachi, verse 14.
11:32
But Peter standing up with the eleven lifted up his voice and said unto them, Ye men of
11:39
Judea, all that dwell as Jerusalem, be these known unto you and hearken to my words.
11:47
For these are not drunken as yet supposed, seeing it is for the third hour of the day.
11:53
But this is that which was spoken by who?
11:57
By prophet Joel.
12:00
Hallelujah.
12:01
And it shall come to pass in the last days, said God, I will pour out of my spirit upon
12:11
how many flesh, upon all flesh, and your sons and daughters shall prophesy.
12:18
Can you see?
12:19
Peter is speaking about a present reality and he's saying that these happenings that
12:26
you're seeing happening now, they are happenings that actually are validated from what the
12:32
prophets have spoken.
12:34
So when we read Joel chapter two, right, you can see the fulfillment of those promise,
12:41
the prophecy.
12:42
And you know Peter didn't stop there.
12:45
He continued verse 25.
12:47
He cared about David.
12:49
For David's care concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is
12:54
on my right hand, that I should not be moved.
13:00
Where was he speaking from?
13:01
From verse 16, verse 8, you see, that Peter could preach the gospel from Genesis to Malachi
13:09
and verse 38.
13:10
Now then Peter said unto them, Repent and baptize every one of you in the name of Jesus
13:18
Christ.
13:20
For the remission of sins and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
13:26
For the promise is unto you and to your children and to all that are far off, even as many
13:32
as the Lord our God shall call.
13:35
And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this
13:41
unto all generations.
13:44
See verse 21, verse 21.
13:49
Then they that gladly received his words, his words, which words?
13:55
The teachings from Genesis to Malachi, from Moses and the prophets concerning Christ.
14:05
And the same day there were added unto them about how many thousand souls?
14:10
Three thousand souls.
14:14
Where did he preach the gospel concerning Christ from Genesis to Malachi?
14:21
So we ought to come to a point that when we read Genesis, please have this mindset, the
14:27
way to go through Genesis to Malachi.
14:29
Let your eyes be there where you will see Christ.
14:33
You will see Christ written in the words.
14:36
That is why in the cell meeting, you see, let me encourage us now, do as much as possible
14:42
to join the cell meeting.
14:44
If you're on this platform and you have not been attending the cell meeting, you are spinning.
14:49
You know what I said?
14:51
You are what?
14:52
You are spinning.
14:53
You are depriving yourself of spiritual growth.
14:58
Attend the cell meeting.
15:00
Attend the cell meeting.
15:02
Attend the cell meeting.
15:04
We have treated the gospel in numbers.
15:06
We have treated gospel in the autonomy.
15:08
So me, when I read numbers, I don't see Jesus there.
15:12
When I read, so the last time I read the autonomy, I didn't see Jesus.
15:16
But then sister, if you continue the pattern of the life you're living, you will not see
15:21
Jesus even in Matthew.
15:23
You won't see Jesus there.
15:25
So you have to be part of the local church.
15:29
You have to be part of the meetings where you are taught and trained in the word of
15:33
righteousness.
15:34
That is how we mature.
15:36
Then we learn to exercise these spiritual things.
15:40
And I'll say on Sunday, there are background stories to the scriptures because it's one
15:48
message.
15:49
Hallelujah.
15:50
Revelation cannot be removed from John.
15:53
1 John, 2 John, 3 John, same author.
15:57
I want to understand the book of Revelation.
15:59
The background story I should read all through is 1 John.
16:04
I want to understand the background story of what the apostles have written.
16:08
Let me go to Acts.
16:09
I want to understand the book of Acts, the eyewitness account.
16:14
Let me go to Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, eyewitness account.
16:17
Amen.
16:18
I want to understand Matthew, Mark, Luke, John.
16:21
I go to Genesis to where?
16:22
To Malachi.
16:24
Same story, same, let me use the words, same actor, same person, same man, Jesus Christ.
16:32
When you read Matthew chapter 1, Matthew chapter 1 began to give us the generations of where?
16:38
The generations of Christ.
16:41
How Christ was raised from, let's go to Matthew chapter 1.
16:46
The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David.
16:51
You see, it is the son of Joseph on the earth, as it were.
16:56
The son of David is a prophetic statement.
16:58
Hallelujah.
16:59
The son of David, the son of Abraham, prophetic statement.
17:04
Where are we getting this prophetic statement?
17:07
See now, let's now go, because it is very important for us that we are able to read
17:15
the book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
17:21
So how did this statement come from?
17:24
When we now go to Genesis chapter 12, right?
17:27
Now Genesis chapter 12, now the Lord said unto Abraham, get thee out of thy country
17:34
and from thy kindred and from thy father's house unto a land that I will not show thee.
17:42
And I will make of thee a great nation.
17:50
Jesus wasn't speaking about Isaac here.
17:53
He wasn't speaking about, the God wasn't speaking to Abraham about Isaac.
17:57
He wasn't speaking about Abraham about Ishmael.
18:00
He was speaking about Jesus.
18:02
This is where the promise came from, this is where Christ was traced from.
18:05
He said, and thou shalt be a blessing and I will bless them that bless thee and cause
18:11
him that cause thee.
18:13
Everybody now pay attention to this statement now.
18:16
And in thee shall all the families awake of the earth be blessed.
18:27
Hallelujah.
18:28
This statement wasn't a biological statement.
18:32
The last time I checked myself, I asked my dad in my fourth year, I think fourth year
18:39
or third year, first semester, we're treating a topic, one of the courses, anthropology,
18:45
right?
18:46
We're studying anthropology.
18:47
So anthropology and genetics.
18:51
So in anthropology, what happens is that, you know, it's a study of generations, right?
18:57
So we'll go back to study generations and genetics.
19:00
And then we want to see how diseases are transferred from one generation to other, how patterns,
19:06
how lots of things are happening.
19:08
What actually is on the lining within your genes and how they are being transferred,
19:13
traced?
19:14
The last time I checked biologically, I wasn't traced to Abraham because I asked my dad to
19:21
give me the names of his fathers and great grandfathers.
19:24
He gave me that tree and I didn't see how I was traced to Abraham.
19:28
So does that mean that my family is not captured in these old families of the earth?
19:37
Because what God said to Abraham is all the families of the earth.
19:41
I'm like, please help me, please.
19:43
Let's use English now.
19:44
When we say all the families of the earth will be blessed because of one man, what does
19:48
it mean?
19:49
English.
19:50
Somebody should help me now.
19:51
When we say all the families of the earth, okay, let me say it now.
19:54
Let me make it so that probably when I say all the members of NECF will be blessed because
20:00
of custom with $10,000 each.
20:03
What do I mean?
20:04
Come on guys, I added $10,000.
20:05
At least you can relate with that one.
20:08
Because they are from custom, okay, number one.
20:11
Yes, let's talk.
20:13
Because they are from custom, okay, yes.
20:15
It means because of you are all entitled to $10,000 each.
20:19
Because of me, everybody is entitled to $10,000 each.
20:25
For which means that whether you like it or not, you cannot escape these $10,000.
20:29
Yes, as a result, everybody go to your chat and see what the assets everybody is dropping.
20:36
We received the $10,000 because of your use.
20:39
There is no exception.
20:41
Thank you, Samuel.
20:43
Everyone must benefit.
20:44
Pastor Vito said I will come and collect it too.
20:49
Can you imagine?
20:50
So which means nobody can escape it.
20:53
For today, Takunda is from Zimbabwe.
20:55
He is not an Israelite.
20:56
Sorry.
20:57
Does it mean that the Scrinters have not been fulfilled about him?
21:01
No.
21:02
So God will have not been speaking in English terms.
21:08
God will have not been giving Abraham these words as it were literally.
21:14
He was giving a spiritual communication to Abraham.
21:20
And that spiritual communication was about Christ.
21:24
The true Christ, every man will be blessed.
21:27
We are going to come to it because we are going to come to this scripture.
21:31
Amen.
21:32
So I needed to say we came all this way because I needed to read for us scriptures concerning
21:38
Christ.
21:39
When you now continue reading Matthew chapter 1 and down, you will see how Christ was raised
21:44
till present day.
21:47
Where he now came, right?
21:49
Sorry.
21:50
He fleshed like John chapter 1 will say.
21:52
And he became flesh and dwelt where?
21:55
And dwelt amongst men.
21:57
So you can see from Genesis all through.
21:59
It was about Jesus.
22:00
Hallelujah.
22:01
It was about Christ.
22:02
But I saw wars.
22:04
I saw this.
22:05
You know if you are reading the old books, I will call them old books now, right?
22:15
And then you see some dangerous things.
22:17
I said these people were very dangerous.
22:19
They were killing and blood was everywhere like normal.
22:24
They saw blood.
22:25
They saw killings that were beyond your human imagination.
22:32
But in all those activities and in all those events, the scripture never changed.
22:39
The message never changed.
22:41
It's about who?
22:42
It's about Christ.
22:43
Hallelujah.
22:44
So now before we get into the next part, then where we now read 2 Timothy chapter 3 verse
22:51
16.
22:52
Let's start this place like Easter day.
22:55
1 Timothy chapter 3, all scripture.
23:02
Hallelujah.
23:03
Now when we say all scripture, it's speaking by what?
23:08
By inspiration of God and his word and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for
23:16
correction, for instruction in righteousness.
23:21
The man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto how many good works?
23:28
All good works.
23:30
All scripture is for the benefit of the believer.
23:34
Genesis to Malachi, Matthew to Revelation is for the profitability of the believer.
23:42
In fact after Sunday service, one of the things that came to my mind is that, and I'll say
23:47
it now, is that you have to run away from living your life from social media.
23:53
Don't live from Instagram.
23:56
Don't live your life from TikTok.
23:59
Don't live your life from Snapchat.
24:01
Live your life from God's word.
24:04
Insist.
24:05
Insist.
24:06
Insist that I will live my life from God's word.
24:13
Don't live your life from just catchy phrases online.
24:18
Don't attach the Holy Spirit.
24:20
Don't attach the meaning of your life from the things you see on social media.
24:26
Please attach the meaning of your life from God's word.
24:30
Let the source of your inspiration, the source of your conduct, the source of your saints,
24:34
the source of your utterances, the source of everything, let it fresh be sourced from
24:40
where?
24:41
From God's word.
24:42
I am not saying that when you go on social media, you will not see things that are valuable.
24:48
Pastor Cotty, Pastor Cotty now, I'll say no more.
24:51
Social media is a sin.
24:54
In the next thing you'll see, hashtag Pastor Cotty, a pastor from a local assembly in,
25:02
I'm just telling you how news is, declares that all Christians living their lives from
25:08
this disease are sinned as.
25:11
If you want to be totally honest, then let it come, let it come from where?
25:16
From God's word.
25:17
In fact, let me add one word.
25:19
You want to be polished from God's word.
25:22
I was speaking with somebody and the person is saying that, Saido, I came from a background
25:29
where there has been fight in my home.
25:31
My father was beating my mom and my mom was beating my dad.
25:35
I grew up to see a lot of fights, fights everywhere.
25:38
Where was the norm in my family?
25:41
And then see, I had to loud it.
25:43
I had to loud it.
25:46
You don't have any dysfunction in your life.
25:48
Brother, you don't have dysfunction.
25:50
Brother, you don't have dysfunction.
25:51
Brother, you don't have dysfunction.
25:54
There is no dysfunction in your life.
25:57
You have the Holy Ghost inside you and you are living your life from God's word.
26:02
You are separated.
26:04
I have to take all Corinthians 5.17 because you are in Christ.
26:09
All things are become new.
26:14
That thing that you already are freed of called generational causes.
26:18
Generational causes are pile of, just pile of, pile of, of unbelieving actions from our
26:26
forefathers.
26:29
Believing attitudes, negative behaviors, negative patterns or conduct pile up and they become
26:39
curses.
26:40
So when you come, you are a believer and you don't embrace God's words and you make a choice
26:48
to live and to subscribe to that kind of behavior and conduct, you will see that kind of stem
26:56
results.
26:57
But you see, in Christ, when we say you are the blessed and all things are become new,
27:02
all we are declaring is that you don't subscribe to the conduct again of what you have seen
27:08
by the outflesh.
27:09
You are subscribing to God's word.
27:11
You are subscribing because you understand that the Holy Ghost dwells in you.
27:17
So we live our life from God's word.
27:19
If God says it, I believe it.
27:22
I live by it.
27:23
Is it?
27:24
So guys have to live by the scriptures.
27:28
They are post-ruthed by the scriptures.
27:31
Every man that has walked by with God throughout in the scriptures from Genesis, Moses, all
27:36
through to Malachi, by the scriptures, the word of God.
27:40
How does faith come?
27:42
Faith come by what?
27:43
By hearing.
27:44
Hearing how?
27:45
Hearing the word of who?
27:46
The word of Christ.
27:47
So by the scriptures.
27:50
Profitability by the scriptures.
27:52
Doctrine by the scriptures.
27:54
Reprove by the scriptures.
27:56
Correction by the scriptures.
27:58
Instruction in righteousness by the what?
28:01
By the scriptures.
28:02
We cannot over-exercise this.
28:06
Somebody told me, he said, sir, just last week, he said, sir, you know, I've been attending
28:10
some couple of meetings and then people have been giving me word of prophecy, word of knowledge,
28:15
word of this.
28:16
But you know, for the first time I am learning to live from God's word.
28:22
What God is saying that I don't literally have to chase prophecy.
28:26
I don't literally have to chase that my faith source, faith, my faith source of information
28:34
about who I am must be first.
28:36
From where?
28:37
From the scriptures.
28:38
That is it.
28:39
So now, let me say all this.
28:42
Verse 18 now, Matthew 28 verse 18.
28:44
Matthew 28 verse what?
28:46
You know, yesterday I counted how many people were about 112 on the new version and I counted
28:53
the people that read were about like 16 or 17 and that number has been consistent.
29:00
16, 17, 18, 16, 17, 18, 19, 16, 17, 18, 19.
29:06
Same people, same faces, same name.
29:11
How will you be profitable?
29:12
Should I tell you?
29:14
I told a couple of people that how you will know reading the Bible is spiritual, right?
29:22
Just say today I want to read today's canonical.
29:25
From nowhere a weight of sleep will come upon you.
29:30
You were active, you were active now.
29:34
Just say I want to read today.
29:36
I want to see I am telling you, practice, practice this thing I'm saying.
29:41
From nowhere a weight of sleep, a weight of laziness will come upon you.
29:50
Aida is saying it's true.
29:53
Please if you have experience that indicates let's see you and we'll take your name on
29:57
the new version whether you are.
30:00
Thank you Aida.
30:01
Let me say it.
30:02
Your sins are forgiven.
30:03
However, Aida is reading it because I saw her name ticked.
30:06
I've been seeing her name ticked so she's following.
30:09
But I'm telling you.
30:10
So just know that reading the scriptures is not a physical feat.
30:16
I am telling you by the Spirit of God it is heavily a spiritual activity and that is why
30:24
even if it's one chapter you will find it difficult to read that one chapter.
30:29
And you see with what I just said now because it's spiritual and not physical that is the
30:35
most more reason why you must insist in reading it.
30:39
You must refuse anything that will stop you from reading it.
30:43
See I am telling you you must fight it.
30:46
You must tick it.
30:47
If you will if you if it needs you will take water inside bucket.
30:51
Carry water.
30:52
Put it put your legs inside.
30:55
If you have to kneel down kneel down.
30:57
If you have to be walking around in your room walk around your room.
31:01
In fact if you have to go out of your house inside this cold and be reading it go out
31:06
and be reading it you must insist you must feed it profitability.
31:12
You know what Paul called Timothy that your profitability will appear unto all men.
31:17
So it cannot be hidden.
31:19
You can give your life to the scriptures and your life will be what will be a hidden.
31:25
So now Matthew 28 verse 18.
31:31
Jesus came and spoke unto them saying all power in me is given unto me in heaven and
31:39
where and in earth.
31:41
Hallelujah.
31:42
So the first thing we are looking at from that verse is all power.
31:45
All power.
31:49
So the verse says all authority all power all authority the verse has been given to
31:55
me.
31:56
And we understand how did Jesus got that power from from resurrection.
32:02
Hallelujah from resurrection from resurrection how from the word authority in this fashion
32:12
or in this verse the word authority means exeusia exeusia exeusia the Greek word for
32:25
authority or all power there in your Bible is exeusia exousia exousia.
32:39
So when you read in another place right there are different or varied forms of the Greek
32:45
word for all authority or all power.
32:48
There are about nine varied Greek words used for it because when you read in another place
32:57
you will see that word is dunamis.
33:00
However in their varied forms they still speak of close meaning close close meanings and
33:06
tied to close events.
33:08
However they will vary in the context of where they are being used.
33:14
So in some places you will see dunamis.
33:16
Right.
33:17
For example let's go to Luke chapter four everybody.
33:20
Luke chapter four verse fourteen.
33:22
Luke chapter four verse fourteen.
33:25
And Jesus returned in the dunamis of the spirit into Galilee.
33:33
That power there is dunamis and there went out a fame of him through all the region round
33:41
was round the pound.
33:43
Right you can add this script to Matthew six thirteen.
33:47
Matthew chapter six verse thirteen.
33:49
We'll read it.
33:50
Let's just read it.
33:51
Matthew chapter six verse thirteen.
33:52
And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil for dying for dying is the kingdom
34:00
and the power dunamis and the glory forever.
34:05
And what forever.
34:07
So there are other words Greek words for dunamis.
34:11
Right.
34:12
And the other word is just a key.
34:19
You know.
34:20
Did I.
34:21
Crap.
34:22
Right.
34:23
It's just a key.
34:26
It's just I.
34:27
S.
34:28
H. U.
34:29
S.
34:30
I.
34:31
C. H. E.
34:32
M.
34:33
A. R. C. H. E.
34:34
M. E.
34:35
G. A. L. E.
34:36
I. T. O. S.
34:37
M. E.
34:38
G. A. Mega.
34:39
Lay L. E. I. T. O. S.
34:40
Then energy.
34:43
Energy.
34:44
Energy.
34:45
Energy.
34:46
E. N. E. R. T. I. E. A.
34:51
Then we have Kratos.
34:53
K. R. A. T. O. S.
34:56
So all these words will be used within the context of the scriptures where we read them
35:02
depending on the communication.
35:04
But the word exucia that is used now in Matthew chapter 38 verse 18.
35:11
Right.
35:12
That says all power or all authority has been given to me.
35:16
The meaning of that word is to be lawful.
35:19
To be lawful.
35:22
To be permitted.
35:23
To be lawful.
35:25
To be permitted to do something.
35:28
To be permitted to act.
35:31
To be permitted to function.
35:33
Now what exucia is a verb is an action word where we say all power or authority in heaven
35:42
and in earth has been given to me.
35:45
What Christ is saying is that I have been given the legal permission to act.
35:52
Now what exucia means to be lawful.
35:55
To be permitted.
35:57
Is as much as I have been given the power of influence to be lawful, to be permitted
36:04
so that I can be able to act.
36:06
So that I can be able to do something.
36:08
So that I can be able to function.
36:11
So when Christ was saying all power, all authority in heaven and the earth has been given to
36:17
me.
36:18
So what Christ is saying is that I have now been permitted to act.
36:22
I have now been permitted to function.
36:25
I have now been permitted to influence.
36:28
Matthew chapter 12 verse 2.
36:30
Matthew chapter 12 verse 2.
36:32
Let's read a couple of scriptures now and then let's see.
36:35
Same word, that word exucia is said that is applied to these scriptures.
36:39
But when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto him, Behold, that disciples do that which
36:46
is not lawful to do upon the what?
36:50
Upon the Sabbath day.
36:53
Is the same thing.
36:54
Because the word exucia is from the root word isesti.
36:59
Exesti.
37:00
Exesti.
37:01
The word exucia is from the root word isesti.
37:06
Exesti.
37:07
Which means it is lawful.
37:13
Exesti.
37:14
Exesti.
37:15
Which means it is lawful.
37:20
So what they were saying is that your disciples are doing what is not lawful on the Sabbath
37:25
day.
37:27
In Luke chapter 10 verse 19.
37:30
Luke chapter 10 verse 19.
37:32
Behold I give you power.
37:35
I give you isesti.
37:38
I permit you.
37:40
I give you the power of influence.
37:43
Luke chapter 10 verse 19.
37:44
I am permitting you to tread upon serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the
37:52
enemy and nothing shall by enemies hurt you.
37:57
There are two powers there.
37:59
There is exucia and there is dunamis.
38:03
But what that statement is saying, I have permitted you.
38:06
I have granted unto you the power of influence.
38:10
You can now act.
38:12
You can now be able to function against the power, all the power of the enemy.
38:19
Hallelujah.
38:20
Then at this Matthew chapter 12 verse 4.
38:25
Matthew chapter 12 verse 4.
38:27
Matthew chapter 12 verse 4.
38:29
And when he sawed, when he sawed some seeds fell by, sorry, Matthew chapter 12 verse 4.
38:37
How he entered into the house of God and did eat the shortbread which was not what, lovable
38:43
for him to eat.
38:45
Permission.
38:46
Hallelujah.
38:47
So when we see exucia, exucia means lovable.
38:52
You are now permitted.
38:54
Hallelujah.
38:55
You are now granted the power to be able to act, to be able to function.
39:02
So who gave Jesus this authority and where did Jesus get the authority from?
39:08
We established Jesus got his power from resurrection, from his resurrection.
39:15
So we can say like this, right?
39:19
That the resurrection of Jesus is the permission for Jesus to act.
39:24
Do you hear what I said?
39:26
The resurrection of Jesus is what, is the permission for him to act so that Jesus is
39:33
able or was able to fulfill all that was required for him to be able to act.
39:41
The legal authority was given to him upon resurrection.
39:45
Glory to God.
39:48
The legal authority was given to Christ upon what?
39:51
Upon resurrection.
39:52
The exucia was given to Christ upon what?
39:56
Upon resurrection.
39:57
Matthew chapter 16.
39:58
Matthew chapter 16.
39:59
Matthew chapter 16.
40:00
Matthew chapter 16.
40:01
Matthew chapter 16.
40:02
But starting to 16 everybody.
40:05
And don't forget brethren that Christ was speaking after in that chapter of Matthew
40:10
28, he was speaking after he was raised from the dead.
40:14
Hallelujah.
40:15
Resurrection.
40:16
So his communications were from resurrection.
40:17
Oh, I just got something now in my head.
40:20
Oh, believers.
40:21
Our communication must be from the resurrection of Christ.
40:25
Our oppression must be from the resurrection of Christ.
40:28
Casting out devils, laying hands on the sick until we see them get healed.
40:34
Laying hands on the blind eyes and we see them open.
40:37
Laying eyes if only you will believe the power upon resurrection is that same power that's
40:45
at work in the life of the believer today.
40:47
Hallelujah.
40:48
That is it.
40:49
Matthew chapter 16.
40:50
Matthew chapter 16.
40:51
Matthew chapter 16.
40:52
Now, from starting when Jesus came into the coast of Caesarea, Dest cease.
40:57
He asked his disciples to say, sorry, I don't miss it.
41:04
Okay.
41:05
Right?
41:06
Yes.
41:07
So, but starting then when Jesus came into coast of Caesarea, Philip.
41:12
by, he asked his disciples, saying, whom do men say that I the Son of Man am? Hallelujah.
41:23
So you see, Jesus knows that men will say otherwise. Only men that have understanding
41:31
of the Scriptures can be able to say correctly who truly He is. So now, 14, and they said,
41:41
some say that thou art John the Baptist. You know why they are saying this now? Because
41:47
their understanding has not been what? Has not been opened. Hallelujah. So they will
41:52
say, some say that John the Baptist, some Elijah, and others Jeremiah, or one of the
42:01
prophets. Amen. Because the eyes of the understanding has not been what? Has not been opened. Has
42:07
not been enlightened. So they will see the eyes. So they are calling Jesus a prophetic
42:13
office. They are calling Jesus some sort of a miraculous man, because they knew Elijah
42:19
did some miracles. They are calling Jesus John the Baptist, because they know John the
42:25
Baptist was kind of sort of a teacher. And also, he was sort of a prophet also in their
42:32
time. So they will say that to Jesus also. But 15 now, he now said unto them, but to
42:40
whom? You. Whom? You. Whom say ye that I am? In this short time that you'll be with me,
42:50
Whom say ye that I am? 16 now. And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ.
43:01
Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. Praise God. 17. And Jesus answered and
43:13
said unto him, Bless thou Simon Bar-Jona, for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto
43:22
thee. But my Father, who is in heaven, verse 18 now, and I say also unto thee, that thou
43:31
art Peter, upon this rock, which rock? Upon the revelation of what he has said, that thou
43:39
art the Christ. Upon Christ's resurrection, upon this rock, on my resurrection, we're
43:47
going to come to it now. I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against
43:58
it. Hallelujah. The gates of hell is not prevailing against the purging of the church. The gates
44:04
of hell shall not prevail against the resurrection of Christ. Hallelujah. There's nothing. The
44:10
gates of hell cannot be able to stop Christ from being raised from the dead. And out of
44:15
that resurrection, the church will also come. Hallelujah. And then now verse 19 now. See
44:21
verse 19 everybody. And I will give unto thee the what? The keys of the kingdom of heaven,
44:33
and whatsoever thou shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven. And whatsoever thou shall
44:41
lose on the earth shall be loosed in what? Shall be loosed in heaven. Hallelujah. But
44:50
he said thou art, verse 16 now, thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. Praise
44:58
God. Through the scriptures, which we are going to read briefly before we go, the Israelites
45:05
believed, they believed, some are still holding to that thought still today, that the Messiah
45:13
will be sent by God to be able to deliver them, right? That God will send a Messiah.
45:21
And they believe also that this Messiah will come from David, he will come from flesh,
45:29
and he will come from God. Amen? You hear what I said? Because they know the prophecy given
45:34
to Abraham. So they believe that there will be a Messiah, and he will be the Son of the living God,
45:41
and he will also be from the root of David. So they hold that thought. So they believe that he
45:48
is one that will come to be able to restore the kingdom again to them. He will be the one that
45:55
will come and empower the Israelites. How to be the one everybody now. Let's just repeat Luke.
46:02
I hope you will just read Luke and then hold that thought there. I will continue from there. Let's
46:08
go to Luke chapter 24. Luke chapter 24, from verse 17. Let's go to verse 17. Let's see the
46:16
communication. Luke chapter 24, verse 17. And he said unto them, What manner of communications
46:22
are these that ye have one to another as ye walk and as start? And the one of them whose name was
46:30
Cleopas, answering said unto him, Adou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and has not known the
46:36
things which are come to pass there in these days. 19. And he said unto them, What is this?
46:45
And they said unto him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet, mighty indeed,
46:52
and word before God and all the people. See 20. And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered
46:59
him to be condemned to death and have crucified him. See chapter 21 everybody now. See chapter 21.
47:06
But we trusted that it had been he. Oh, I could just see that disappointment. Oh, and now he
47:15
could not come back. But we trusted that it had been he which should have what redeemed Israel.
47:25
And beside all this, today is the third day. Since these things were what? Were done. So they
47:32
believed that a Messiah was going. You see they say we trusted. Probably we have missed it again.
47:39
We have to wait now for another Messiah. How did they know? Why will they trust? Why will they know
47:46
that a Messiah was to come to redeem Israel? They knew it through the prophecies, through
47:53
communication that were passed to them from their forefathers. So they are looking at when we read
47:59
even John chapter one, right, they had to meet John the Baptist and then met John the Baptist
48:04
and asked him, Are you that prophet? Are you the one that shall come? Or we should look ahead.
48:11
They are trusting. In Acts chapter one, everybody. And then we pray now. Acts chapter one. See Acts
48:16
chapter one. See their communications. Even after still interacting with Christ, they are
48:22
interacting with Christ. Acts chapter one. Acts chapter one verse six. When they therefore were
48:28
come together, they asked of him and saying, Lord, will thou at this time restore again the what?
48:38
The kingdom to Israel? These men are just concerned that something must come. You know,
48:45
it is all about, you know, let that Redeemer appear. Let that Messiah appear. So they believe that a
48:51
Messiah will come and that Messiah will be sent from God and that Messiah will be from the root
48:57
of what? Of David. Hallelujah. So the word, the Son of the Living God, please write this and then
49:04
we stop. The word, the Son of the Living God. That word, the Son, is a thou at Christ, the Son
49:13
of the Living God. We're going to stay on that word when we're coming the next time by God's grace.
49:19
The word, the Son of the Living God means the one who takes on the Father's authority.
49:28
Please pay attention to this teaching. You know, the topic is blessed in the kingdom of God.
49:34
The word, the Son of the Living God means the one who takes on the Father's authority.
49:39
The one who takes on the Father's authority, just like inheritance. So they believed, the Jews
49:46
believed that when he comes as a Messiah, he will carry out the responsibilities of God over Israel.
49:52
But Jesus didn't come to carry out responsibilities of God over Israel. He came to carry out the
49:58
responsibilities of God over all the families of the earth. Hallelujah. Praise God. So when we come
50:05
by God's grace, we'll be built from this place. Then see how God is going to bring so much knowledge
50:11
to us. You know, today when you say, I am the Son of the Living God, do you know what you're saying?
50:18
You say, I'm taking, I have taken upon myself the responsibilities of God on the earth. Like Mark
50:24
chapter 16 says, in my name, they shall cast out devils. In my name, they shall speak with
