Welcome to NECF sermons. Each message here is
0:06
designed to uplift and strengthen you in your
0:09
walk with God. Don't miss out, stay with us until
0:14
the end for a rewarding experience. Let's dive
0:18
right in. Exodus chapter 6 verse 3 everybody,
0:23
let's go. Exodus chapter 6 verse what? Verse
0:30
3. Exodus chapter 6 verse 3. If you have been
0:38
with us in this past week, we've been talking
0:40
about the name of who? The name of Jesus. Amen?
0:44
We have been discussing about the name of what?
0:47
Jesus. Why are we doing this? We are doing this,
0:50
I believe, with the whole of my heart, right?
0:59
What we are doing in this season, or the theme
1:01
of this season, right? This understanding will
1:06
play a greater role also in that. Amen. Our theme
1:11
for the year is what? What is our theme for the
1:14
year? Greater works. Amen. So I believe this
1:19
teaching also is part of what will be so significant
1:22
to us in this season. Hallelujah. That we don't
1:26
go around mentioning the name of Jesus as it
1:30
were every other person will mention it. Amen.
1:33
In Hausa, in northern Nigeria, in Hausa, they
1:36
say yes to Almasihu. You know? But when you now
1:40
go to the other side, they say it's Isa. Whether
1:45
you say Isa Almasihu, or you say yes to Almasihu,
1:50
right? Whether you say it in English, or in whatever
1:53
language, is not the main short name of the name
1:57
of Jesus. What cast out demons is not the what?
2:04
dimensioning in the name of Jesus that Paul preaches,
2:10
that Pastor Frederick preaches. You demon get
2:12
out! No! It's not the mentioning of the name
2:19
of Jesus that brings the evidence that we see.
2:24
Hallelujah! But Radha, let me start. This is
2:27
a good way to start out this morning. It's not
2:29
the mentioning of the name of Jesus that brings
2:32
the evidence and the results that a believer
2:35
sees, but rather is the knowledge and understanding
2:38
of the name of Jesus. I just say something good
2:42
now. It's not the what? It's not the mentioning
2:48
of the name of Jesus that brings the evidence
2:52
and the results a believer sees, but rather the
2:57
knowledge and the understanding of the name of
3:01
Jesus to the believer. So which means that when
3:08
a believer has the knowledge and the understanding
3:11
of the name of Jesus Christ, what is happening
3:15
to him is that he is no longer working in information,
3:19
but he is working in the reality. Hallelujah.
3:23
Glory to Jesus. So that person is not working
3:25
in the what? The information. I don't know whether
3:28
it happens to people in other parts of Africa
3:30
or part of the world but in where I'm coming
3:32
from some people experience that more especially
3:34
when we're in high school secondary school and
3:36
all those things you know you're sleeping and
3:38
something will press you you know we used to
3:41
believe that something presses our neck right
3:45
I don't know whether it has happened to some
3:46
people here but something will press your neck
3:49
and then from your dream world or your dream
3:53
realm you are starting the gene is not coming
3:58
out and then suddenly when you now finally get
4:03
a hold of it and the gene is out you just wake
4:05
up and then finally you know I know a friend
4:13
when the friend sleeps and wakes up right the
4:19
friend wakes up with literal marks on the body
4:22
because in the dream The person was fighting
4:27
with giants. And when the person wakes up in
4:31
the natural realm, I mean real, because the person
4:34
will have those experiences and send photos to
4:37
me. You will see real marks on the body. And
4:44
the person now is afraid to sleep once it is
4:48
8 p .m. I'm saying something real now. So the
4:53
person will stay awake 8, 9, 10, 11, 12. Why?
4:57
Because the person does not want to dream. 1,
5:00
2, 3. When it's getting to 3 a .m., 4 a .m.,
5:04
you know that morning, from that time to morning,
5:07
when the sun will rise, definitely your dream
5:09
will be light. That's when the person gets to
5:13
sleep. We now have to do a study. Amen. Mind
5:20
you, this person I'm talking about is a believer.
5:24
So the person knows the name of Jesus, but the
5:28
person is afraid of whatever he or she is encountering
5:34
in the dream realm, right? More than the name
5:37
of Jesus, the information he or she has. So you
5:42
see, what overcomes is not the information, is
5:47
the reality. And the reality comes by knowledge,
5:51
not anyhow knowledge, accurate. knowledge, glory
5:56
to Jesus. Pastor Fred is here. We had a guy,
5:58
you know, the guy had returning back to Nigeria
6:00
before he left was sound. The guy will stay in
6:04
his house and he says he will hear voices down
6:08
the streets. So Pastor Fred called him, you know,
6:12
he said, come and lie down in my house, stay
6:14
in my house and let's see whether you will hear
6:16
voices. Before God, whom I stand, he came and
6:21
stayed in his house and he didn't hear voices.
6:24
It's from your house that I took him back home.
6:27
He went home sound. What I'm saying is that the
6:29
person has authored books now and he is doing
6:32
sound. He's married with children, yes. Hallelujah.
6:40
So what we are discussing in this season is,
6:43
let me use one word now that came to me, is PIVOTA.
6:48
My wife will say, where is this one coming from?
6:52
My English is increasing, you know, the bush
6:56
boy from Adama, you know. Yes, it's pivotal to
7:02
the things that are happening to us in this season.
7:07
Hallelujah. Glory to Jesus. Good, so we're in
7:11
Exodus, right? Did we get an instruction from
7:14
this, what I just said now? Did anybody get an
7:18
instruction? Did anybody get an instruction now?
7:21
So if you're here and you're afraid to sleep,
7:23
don't be afraid to sleep. By the virtue of being
7:26
part of this local church, right, I speak to
7:29
you, I declare upon you, I command you, in the
7:34
name of Jesus, every struggle with sleep dies
7:39
now in Jesus' name. All you live here, you sleep
7:44
sound, every kind of weird dreams, every kind
7:49
of scary dreams, we subject you to the power
7:53
in the name of Jesus. Father we thank you, for
7:58
you've given your beloved sleep, and we sleep,
8:02
we rest, and there is no any confusion in our
8:07
restroom in the name of Jesus. We bless you Lord,
8:10
be thou glorified in Jesus name. Amen. Holy Spirit,
8:14
thank you for the spirit of wisdom and revelation
8:16
is made manifest in this atmosphere and in our
8:19
hearts as we listen to the word for in Jesus'
8:23
name we pray. Amen. So Exodus chapter 6 verse
8:26
3. And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac and
8:31
Jacob by the name of God Almighty, but my name,
8:34
Yehoah, was I not what? Known to them. Genesis
8:38
chapter 12 verse 1. Genesis chapter 12 verse
8:44
1. We said, but by name Jehovah was I not what?
8:52
Known to them. And what did we learn about Jehovah?
8:56
Jehovah means God's salvation, right? And at
9:01
the end of the day from Jehovah, Jesus, Isos
9:06
is the same with Joshua. Amen. And then we now
9:11
came and said, That Joshua, right, is the name
9:15
in Old Testament. Hallelujah. And from the Old
9:18
Testament, we now realize that prophets have
9:21
spoken about Jesus Christ, his humanity, his
9:24
coming. Amen. So we now move to Old Testament
9:28
and then look at where did the prophets spoke
9:30
about what? Jesus. And now we now connected that
9:35
Jesus now to Messiah. Messiah means Messiah.
9:41
Amen? Because Messiah and Messiah, or Messiah,
9:46
is the same with Christos. Christ means what?
9:49
Christos. And we say Christos means the what?
9:53
The anointed one. Amen? The chosen one. And we
9:56
say in the Old Testament, you won't see anything
9:58
called Christos. You won't see anything called
10:02
Christ. But what you see is Messiah. Messiah
10:06
means Messiah. Amen? And then we now look at
10:09
Isaiah. In Isaiah, we now see one of the prophecies
10:13
that were given about the Messiah is about there
10:16
will be a sign and a virgin will give birth to
10:20
a child and his name shall be called what? Emmanuel.
10:24
Even though as of that time, Prophet Isaiah was
10:28
giving the prophecy to Ahas, it happened in their
10:31
time, right? But now as Matthew, Luke, Mark,
10:36
John will document the event of Christ, they
10:38
will document that event from what? The prophecy,
10:43
the communications of the prophets. So Isaiah
10:46
will be prophesying, or I will call her, will
10:49
be prophesying to a woman of God regarding events
10:52
that are in the future. Amen? However, some certain
10:56
things will happen to her now from that prophecy,
11:00
but yet the prophecy is indicating something
11:03
that is coming what? Ahead. So when Pastor Tike
11:07
comes to document an event that is happening
11:11
with Pastor Ema. He will document that event
11:15
because that event is similar to what has happened
11:19
to the prophecy that I gave in a different timeline.
11:23
But the pattern of this communication is the
11:27
same pattern with what is happening with Pastor
11:30
Ema. So Pastor Takunda will write that communication.
11:34
and quote that same prophecy that I gave to her,
11:38
right? In Pastor Emanuel's words, event two.
11:42
Hallelujah. So what did we learn? We learned
11:44
that Emanuel means what? God with what? With
11:49
us. And then we now read also in now Luke that
11:53
we see that his name shall also be called what?
11:55
Emanuel, Jesus. So when we say God's salvation,
12:00
what we are saying is that Emanuel, God with
12:03
us. God Becoming man to save men Hallelujah,
12:11
so that is what we have been doing all this while.
12:13
Hallelujah. Good So we now also said that Jesus
12:17
is holding that conversation Right from the point
12:21
of resurrection Hallelujah. He said that in my
12:25
name after being raised from the dead. He said
12:27
in my Name in my name and we learned that Name
12:34
or Norma figuratively means a person's what?
12:39
Office, authority, function. Right? Right! So
12:44
what Jesus will say, from my resurrection, from
12:48
my authority, now go and preach to how many nations?
12:54
All nations. So if you are writing like this,
12:58
in resurrection, in resurrection, Every nation
13:04
ought to be one for Jesus. In resurrection, every
13:12
nation, right, is to be one for Jesus. In resurrection.
13:23
In resurrection, every nation is to be one for
13:25
who? For Jesus. Hallelujah. So far so good. Do
13:31
we understand where we have been coming from?
13:33
So now and we now talked about Jesus now in Luke
13:36
24 talking about resurrection, right? The remissions
13:38
of his repentance will be preached in my name
13:40
and we looked at everywhere in my name in my
13:43
name in my name, right? So if it's your Bible
13:45
every time now as you're learning now in this
13:48
local church Every time you're hearing in the
13:51
name of Jesus We are not talking about his biological
13:55
nomenclature You know We are talking about what
14:00
we are talking about his office Don't mind me.
14:04
Oh, you understand don't know where they're coming
14:06
from, right? So we're talking about his what
14:09
his office Let me say something now by the spirit
14:13
to somebody So which means that every time you
14:16
stand before a circumstance and before a situation,
14:21
before a sickness, before a mountain, before
14:25
a challenge, don't come in the biological name
14:29
of Jesus, come against that thing in the office
14:32
of Jesus. Do you know what I just said now? So
14:37
now let me let me take us a little bit further.
14:39
So which means that every time this is a mountain,
14:43
I am standing before it. Every time I want to
14:47
mention or name the name of Jesus against this
14:51
mountain, I will not. Now I'm having understanding.
14:54
Hallelujah. So I'm not coming against this mountain
14:58
just by the information I have. I'm coming against
15:01
this mountain by the reality of the office, of
15:06
the authority, of the name of who? Jesus. Listen
15:10
again. So which means? that every time I mention
15:15
the name of Jesus, this mountain is not responding
15:19
to me. This mountain is responding to Jesus.
15:24
And what this mountain is responding to is not
15:26
the humanity of Jesus. This mountain is responding
15:29
to the power of resurrection that raises Jesus
15:32
from the dead. Do you see why Peter, by the gates,
15:40
We'll say silver and gold, we do not what? We
15:43
do not have. But we know we have seen, we have
15:48
handled it, we have tested it, we have been with
15:52
this Jesus and he has authorised us. He said
15:56
we can give healing. We don't have silver, we
16:00
don't have gold, but we know one of the provisions
16:02
in resurrection is what? Is healing. Such as
16:07
we have. We give unto thee in the name of what?
16:14
Every time No, I will not use, I will not use
16:17
Pastor Emma. No, I will not use Pastor. Come,
16:20
God's voice, come. You know how, no? I will not
16:27
use Pastor. Come. Two of you, come. Sit down.
16:35
Good. Come, come and stand with me. Good. He
16:38
is bigger than me, so that works. So Jesus is
16:41
bigger, not inside you. Amen? Because He is inside
16:45
you, amen? Smile now, God's voice, you are not
16:47
smiling. Amen? You are not lame from birth. So
16:57
when Peter came and met them and said, in the
17:01
name of silver and gold, we do not have. Such
17:04
that I have, I do what? I give unto thee. I just
17:08
got something in my head. Every time we walk
17:11
in the reality of the name of Jesus, it gives
17:14
God's pleasure. Do you hear what I just said?
17:18
It gives God's what? Pleasure. Because we know
17:22
that we are selves. And we are taking our rightful
17:26
place in the Father. So, as we say, silver and
17:29
gold, we do not have, such that we have, we do
17:33
what? We give unto thee. In the name of Jesus,
17:39
rise up and walk. In Peter's reality, he knows
17:45
he is not the one raising this guy. Who is raising
17:49
the guy? So please, in the name of Jesus, rise
17:54
up and walk. Your holy mantra again. Sit down.
18:00
In the name of Jesus, rise up and walk! Peter
18:08
didn't raise that guy. Who raised him? Jesus
18:12
raised him. Sit down. Thank you, sirs. So every
18:15
time we walk in the reality of the name of Jesus,
18:19
you see, that is why it should not be difficult.
18:22
When you're encountering challenges, you should
18:25
not be afraid. You are not the one overcoming
18:27
the challenges. Jesus is the one at work. That
18:32
is why that last part of Mark said, and God was
18:36
working with them, confirming the words, with
18:41
signs, what? Following. Glory to Jesus. Glory
18:46
to Jesus. I just personally, if we end this here
18:48
now, we have learned something, because this
18:51
is what we are going to. Hallelujah. So now Genesis
18:56
chapter 12 Genesis chapter 12 verse 1 Now the
19:07
Lord has said to Abraham Right, I will just stop
19:10
at three said to Abraham get thee out of thy
19:13
country and of thy kindred and from thy father's
19:15
house unto a land that I will what? Show thee
19:18
and I will make of thee a great nation and I
19:20
will bless thee and make thy name what? great
19:24
And thou shalt be a what? A blessing, three.
19:27
And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse
19:29
thee, curse him that cursed thee, and in thee
19:32
shall all the families of the earth be blessed.
19:35
So if it's your Bible, please underline the words,
19:38
all the families of the earth, number one. Number
19:41
two, I will make of thee a great nation. I will
19:45
make of thee a great what? Nation, all the families
19:49
of the earth. Then Genesis chapter 15 verse one
19:52
to six. Genesis 15 1 6 after this is the word
19:56
of the Lord come unto Abraham in a vision saying
19:59
fear not Abraham I Abraham now I am thy shield
20:03
and the exceeding great reward and Abraham said
20:05
Lord God what will thou give me seen I grow up
20:09
chandless and the steward of thy house of my
20:12
house is this Eliezer of the maskals and Abraham
20:16
said behold to me thou has given me no seat and
20:20
lo no one burn in my house is mine hair and behold
20:25
see again now from 12 to 13 now to 15 and behold
20:28
the word of the lord came unto him saying these
20:31
shall not be thine what hair but he shall come
20:36
from what out of thy own balls shall be thine
20:39
what hair this biological noun god is speaking
20:41
to him five and he brought him forth abroad and
20:44
said look now toward heaven and tell the staffs
20:48
If thou be able to number them, and he said unto
20:51
him, so shall thy seed what? Be. You know, previously
20:55
he told him that, you know, I shall multiply
20:57
thy what? Seeds. Nations will come out of you,
21:01
amen? And now God is telling him that your seed
21:04
shall be like the stars of where? Good. Now,
21:08
six. And he believes in the Lord, and he counted
21:12
him, and he counted it to him for what? So who
21:16
counted who? unto righteousness God counted unto
21:20
Abraham as what as righteousness hallelujah good
21:25
now Romans chapter four verse nine Romans chapter
21:29
four verse three let's look at different places
21:32
now where that was saying it was counted onto
21:34
him Romans chapter four verse three for what
21:40
said the scripture Abraham believed God and it
21:44
was counted onto him for what For righteousness
21:47
same place right good now verse 9 now verse 9
21:52
Romans 4 9 Comment this blessedness then upon
21:56
the circumcision only or upon the uncircumcision
21:59
only for we say that by faith was recon to Abraham
22:03
forwards for righteousness Amen good now verse
22:08
22 verse 22 And therefore it was imputed to him
22:17
for what? For righteousness. Galatians 3 .6.
22:24
Galatians 3 .6. Are we seen everywhere? Righteousness,
22:28
righteousness, right? Good. So Galatians 3 .6.
22:33
Even Abraham believed God and it was accounted
22:36
to him as what? For righteousness. He believed
22:41
God. Amen. So which means the message God gave
22:44
him that nations will come out of him. He believed
22:48
God and it was accounted in for what? For righteousness.
22:51
James 2 23. James 2 23. James 2 23. And the scriptural
23:00
of Sophia which said Abraham believed God and
23:03
it was impeded onto him for righteousness and
23:06
he was called the what? The friend of God. Hallelujah.
23:11
So God communicated to Abraham. Abraham believed
23:14
the communication and God accounted it onto him
23:17
as righteousness. Abraham did nothing. What Abraham
23:22
did was that he believed the communication of
23:26
God to him. Glory to Jesus! Glory to Jesus! Then
23:30
let's go back to Genesis chapter 17 again. So
23:35
we have seen now, right, evidence that Abraham
23:39
believed God and it was accounted to him as righteousness.
23:41
Genesis 17, 4 to 6. As for me, behold, my covenant
23:48
is with thee, and thou shalt be father of many
23:53
nations. Verse 5. Neither shall thy name anymore
23:56
be called Abraham, but thy name shall be Abraham,
24:01
for a father of many nations have I made thee.
24:04
and I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and
24:07
I will make nations of thee, and kings shall
24:10
come out of what? Can you see nations, nations,
24:14
nations, nations, nations? All the communications
24:16
of God to Abraham is about what? Nations! Glory
24:21
to Jesus! Hallelujah! Good, so now let's go to
24:26
Luke chapter 1, everybody. Luke chapter 1 verse
24:29
73 to 77. Some people are trying to sleep. What
24:37
were you doing in the night? Were you flying
24:39
in the night? What were you doing in the night?
24:43
You were flying in the night or what? Luke chapter
24:50
1 verse 72. To perform the mercy promised to
24:54
our father, see now everybody. So which means
24:58
that what God spoke to Abraham, the scripture
25:02
calls it what? The scripture calls it what? Promise.
25:08
To perform the mercy promised to our fathers
25:11
and to remember his holy covenant next verse.
25:14
The oath which he swear to our what? Our father
25:18
what? Abraham, yes, that he will grant to us
25:21
that we being delivered out of the hand of our
25:24
enemies might serve him without what? Without
25:28
fear. in holiness and righteousness before him
25:37
all the days of our lives, yes? And thou, child,
25:41
shall be called the prophet of the highest, for
25:43
thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to
25:45
prepare his ways, seven, seven now, to give him
25:48
knowledge of what? Of salvation unto his people
25:52
by the remission of what? Of their sins. Speaking
25:55
about Jesus now. Hallelujah. That the promise
26:01
that communication that God was doing with Abraham,
26:05
the scripture calls it what? Promise. And that
26:08
promise is about who? About Christ. Glory to
26:12
Jesus. That in Christ, all the nations of the
26:15
earth will have salvation by the remission of
26:19
their what? Of their sins. That's the communication.
26:24
Amen? Good. So now, have a look at that now.
26:28
Let's look at Hebrews chapter 6 verse 13. so
26:32
that we can quickly connect that. Hebrews chapter
26:34
6 verse 13. Hebrews chapter 6 verse 13. Are we
26:47
all there everybody? We're gonna read it to 15.
26:51
He said, for when God made promise to who? Let's
26:56
read it together. For when God made promise to
26:58
who? To Abraham. Because he could swear by no
27:03
greater, he swore by what? By himself, 14. Saying,
27:08
surely blessing I will do what? Bless thee. And
27:13
multiplying I will what? Multiply thee. And so,
27:17
after he had patiently endured, he obtained the
27:21
what? He promised. So which means, the promise
27:24
God gave Abraham, right? Did he obtain the promise?
27:29
Yes. So God gave a promise to Abraham and God
27:34
ensured that Abraham obtained the what? The promise.
27:38
Hallelujah. Glory to God. Good. Now, having said
27:43
all this, now let's go to Genesis 22 verse 1.
27:47
Are we all working together? Is it clear? So
27:49
God spoke to Abraham. The scripture calls that
27:52
communication what? Promise. Amen. And then now
27:56
from the promise, Abraham believed the promise,
27:59
right? And then the scriptures say, because he
28:02
believed, God accounted him as what? Righteousness.
28:06
Glory to God. Now Genesis 22 verse 1, everybody.
28:11
Genesis 22 verse 1, we're going to have a long
28:13
reading to verse 14. And it came to pass after
28:16
these things that God did tempt Abraham and said
28:19
unto him, Abraham, and he said, behold, here
28:22
I am. Next verse. And he said, Take now thy son,
28:26
thy only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get
28:27
thee into the land of Moriah, and offer him there
28:30
for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains,
28:32
which I will tell thee of. And Abraham rose up
28:34
early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and
28:36
took two of his young men with him, and Isaac
28:39
his son, and clave the wood for the burnt offering,
28:42
and rose up, and went unto the place of which
28:44
Baal had told him. Then on the third day Abraham
28:48
lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off.
28:53
And Abraham said unto his young men, Abide ye
28:56
here with us, and I and the Lord will go yonder
28:59
and worship and come again to you. And Abraham
29:02
took the wood of the burned offering and laid
29:04
it upon Isaac his son, and he took the fire in
29:07
his hand and a knife, and they went both of them
29:09
together. And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father
29:12
and said, My father. And he said, Here am I,
29:15
my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the
29:19
wood, but where is the lamb for a burned offering?
29:21
And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself
29:25
a what? God will provide himself a what? A lamb
29:31
for a burnt offering. So they went, brought of
29:33
them together, and they came to a place. Please,
29:37
if it's your Bible, underline the word, God will
29:39
provide himself a lamb. And they came to a place,
29:42
with God I told him, and Abraham built an altar
29:44
there and laid the wood in order, and down -icing
29:47
his son and laid him on the altar upon the wood.
29:49
And Abraham stretched forth his hand and took
29:52
the knife to slay his son. And the angel of the
29:55
Lord called out the hymn of heaven and said,
29:57
Abraham, Abraham. And he said, here am I. And
30:00
he said, lay not thy hand upon the lad, neither
30:04
do thou anything unto him. For thou, for now,
30:07
I know that thou fearest God, seeing that thou
30:10
hast nowhere a son, but only a son from me. And
30:14
Abraham lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold,
30:17
behind him, a ram caught in a ticket in a ticket
30:22
by his house amen don't forget Abraham said God
30:26
will provide himself a what a lamb amen and Abraham
30:32
went and took the ram offered him up for a brand
30:34
of him instead of his what of his son 14 now
30:38
and Abraham called the name of the place Jehovah
30:42
what Jireh as it is said to this day in the mount
30:46
of the Lord it shall be what it shall be what
30:51
it shall be seen hebrews chapter 11 verse 17
30:54
so we know this story everybody amen we know
30:58
this story so hebrews chapter 11 so we'll know
31:01
it now by revelation hebrews chapter 11 verse
31:08
17 so the first question i will ask us The story
31:17
we just read in Genesis, did it happen? It happened,
31:21
right? Perfect, good. So let's hold that thought.
31:24
It's very important now. There were certain characters
31:29
in that story. Abraham was there, right? Isaac
31:33
was there, right? Was God there? Yes, right?
31:38
Then we now see angels. Let's add Ram. We now
31:42
see Ram, right? let's add another element again
31:46
we now see altar amen there was altar amen ropes
31:52
knives everything was set amen good so please
31:56
let's hold that thought it's important hebrews
32:01
11 17 everybody by faith by faith on wednesday
32:08
i said something the old testament does not the
32:13
new testament does not interpret what? The Old
32:17
Testament. The Old Testament gives explanation
32:21
to the what? To the New Testament. So if I want
32:24
to understand the New Testament, I read what?
32:29
The Old Testament. Amen. So now we've read the
32:32
Old Testament as the story of Abraham, right?
32:34
Is it clear to you? You understand? If I want
32:37
to understand the New Testament, where do I need
32:40
to go? The Old Testament, right? So we have read
32:43
a story about Abraham from the Old Testament.
32:47
Now we want to see it in the what? In the New
32:49
Testament. Amen. By faith, Abraham, when he was
32:56
tried, Amen, offered up what? Isaac. And he,
33:02
he that had received the promise, offered up
33:07
his only what? Begotten what? Son. Amen. Next
33:12
verse, of whom it was said that in Isaac shall
33:17
thy seed be called. You remember we read in Genesis
33:22
and he was telling God that, but you have told
33:26
me that through my seed you will multiply a nation.
33:31
By the way, I don't have my own seed. I only
33:34
have a seed from Eliezer and God still reaffirmed
33:38
to him. The nations I want to bring out of you
33:41
is not through the son of the slave. Through
33:44
your bowels, I will bring out a what? A seed,
33:48
amen? Good, so 18, 18, 18, 18. By of whom it
33:54
was said that in Isaac shall thy seed be what?
33:58
Because, next now, accounting that girl was able
34:01
to do what? To raise him up. Raise him up means
34:07
that Abraham had slaughtered Isaac and Isaac
34:14
had died in that or on that altar, right? But
34:19
Abraham believed. See, you know what, Abraham?
34:25
Abraham had believed God in instructions and
34:28
communication so much so that he knew, or he
34:32
had known that when I go and sacrifice, Isaac
34:37
on that altar. I know God will do what? Will
34:40
raise him up. And that is why when Isaac told
34:43
him, we don't have a ram. Abraham didn't tell
34:48
Isaac, don't worry. When I kill you there, God
34:52
will raise you up. No, imagine now he told Isaac,
34:55
I will kill you there. And God, oh, let me say
34:58
it this way. We're trying to do something with
35:00
God with you. Tito had no knife and no fire.
35:08
He said, don't worry, my father. Last week he
35:12
called him my father. He said, my father, where
35:16
is the knife? I said, don't worry. I will kill
35:18
you on Mount Iskele. Right? And God will bring
35:24
you back. He will raise you up. The first thing
35:27
Tito will remember is his mother. But Abraham
35:36
knew even if I had killed Isaac there God will
35:41
raise Isaac back because God had already told
35:45
me it's through Isaac I will multiply the nations
35:49
of what? Of the earth. Three things are happening
35:53
Abraham is knowing that God will do something
35:57
biologically through me and spiritually God will
36:01
also do what? Something through me Do you understand?
36:05
So two communications are coming to Abraham.
36:09
Biologically, Abraham knew that Isaac cannot
36:15
be the sole progenitor of everybody in the world.
36:20
Are you the direct descendant of Isaac? No, no,
36:25
no. How are you related to Isaac? Are you connected
36:29
to Isaac? Is Isaac your great -great -great -great
36:30
-great father? So God will have not been communicating
36:38
something biological. Even if the seed of Isaac
36:48
is 10 billion, is 100 billion, where are the
36:55
women on earth that through them, the whole nations
37:00
of the earth will be multiplied by? We don't
37:02
have that. So God will not be communicating to
37:06
Isaac something what? Like to Abraham something
37:10
biological. However, Abraham understood that
37:15
something spiritual will come out of me and that
37:18
is why he will remember that accounting that
37:23
God was able to raise who? To raise him up even
37:27
from what? From the death, from whence? Also,
37:32
He received Him in a what? In a figure. Hallelujah!
37:38
So now, let's now do something. I know some of
37:44
us have not gotten this now. I know we have not
37:46
gotten it. Let me make it very simple so that
37:49
we can understand. Because we're building on
37:51
this and we'll see how God will help us. Everybody
37:56
please pay attention to me. Let me reiterate
37:59
what I said now. God gave Abraham promise, right?
38:05
He told Abraham something, go and offer your
38:08
son. Amen. Abraham believed it. You know Abraham
38:12
had been believing God, right? So this instruction
38:15
is not a strange instruction to him. I hope we
38:18
know. Good. He told him to leave his father's
38:20
house and he left. Now he's telling him to sacrifice
38:25
his son. So it's not gonna be a new thing. I
38:28
hope you understand. So Abraham took the child.
38:31
the child asking no where are we going you say
38:33
we're going to go and offer a sacrifice but we
38:35
don't have a what a ram so the child has an understanding
38:38
of what sacrifice is he told him don't worry
38:41
god has sent us he will provide himself with
38:43
what a lamp they went there right but he bound
38:48
the child i can just imagine as he said no daddy
38:51
you said ram why are you tying my hands right
38:56
he took the knife The scripture say he was about
39:01
what? Putting the knife to slaughter him. The
39:05
angel said what? Don't do it. That event happened
39:11
literally. But now this is the spiritual part
39:14
of it now. The communication God gave to Abraham,
39:20
Hebrew will now give us a revelational knowledge
39:24
about it. That that communication that it is
39:29
a figure hallelujah it is a what a figure it
39:34
is an illustration please write it figure when
39:37
we say figure a figure means illustration is
39:44
the greek word parable parable parable means
39:52
illustration a pattern to place something side
39:58
by side. Amen. So what we are doing is that we
40:03
are placing Genesis, Abraham events today and
40:07
Hebrews' revelational knowledge now. Now what
40:10
happened with Abraham, Hebrews call it what?
40:14
A seagull. What happened? Wait, literally did
40:17
Abraham kill Isaac? No, but you see Hebrews is
40:20
telling us that Isaac was ushered and God raised
40:24
him up. But Abraham accounted it unto God that
40:28
God gave him a what? A figure of what is to come.
40:33
Hallelujah! Glory to Jesus! Glory to Jesus! Genesis
40:38
chapter 22 verse 2. Now everybody fast. You see
40:43
what he says? And he says, take not thy son.
40:47
No, no, 22 verse 12. I said, let not thy hand
40:53
upon the lad, neither do thou any unto him, for
40:55
I know that thou searest what? God, seeing that
40:59
thou hast no withheld, can you see? Seeing that
41:02
thou hast no withheld thy son, thy only son from
41:04
who? From me. So what Hebrew will say is that
41:10
this action is an illustration that Abraham laid
41:17
his begotten son and God raised him up. Hallelujah.
41:24
Amen. So now, let your mind move fast now. Let
41:28
your mind move fast. Now, let's look at so that
41:33
I'll put a balance to it now. Hebrews chapter
41:36
11 verse 3 everybody. Hebrews 11 3. Hebrews 11
41:42
3. To a faith we understand that the worlds were
41:45
framed by the what? By the word of God so that
41:48
the things which are seen were not made of the
41:50
things Which do what? Which do appear. So the
41:55
things God was communicating to Abraham, physically
41:59
an event is happening, but spiritually something,
42:03
an event about Christ is coming up. Hallelujah.
42:08
So that the things we see are not made of the
42:11
things that we do not what? We do not see. Faith.
42:14
Right? And we see that is what is accounted to
42:17
Abraham also. that Abraham was standing and seeing
42:21
an event with his son but yet he could see that
42:25
that is not what God was communicating to him.
42:28
God was giving him a figo. Hallelujah. A promise
42:31
of what is to come. Glory to Jesus. And then
42:36
now, what do we see? Psalms 1 -1 -10 verse 4.
42:43
Psalms 1 -1 -10 verse 4. The Lord has sworn and
42:53
will not repent down at a priest forever after
42:57
the order of what? After the order of what? Melchizedek
43:01
now. Good. So hold that thought. Hebrews chapter
43:04
6 verse 15. Hebrews 6 verse 15. We'll read it
43:10
to 20. Go over verse 14, please. Saying, surely
43:25
blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I
43:28
will what? Multiply thee. Next verse. And so
43:31
after he had patiently endured, he obtained the
43:34
what? The promise. For men verily swear by the
43:38
greater, and oath for a confirmation is to them
43:41
an end of all strife, right? Wherein God willing
43:46
more abundantly to show unto us, or show unto
43:50
the hairs of promise, the immutability of his
43:53
counsel, confirmed with by what? By an oath.
43:57
Next verse. That by two immutable things, in
44:00
which it was impossible for God to lie, we might
44:03
have a strong consolation. Who have fled for
44:07
refuge, to lay hold upon the hope set before
44:10
us? Nineteen. Which hope we have, as an anchor
44:15
from the soul both sure and steadfast and which
44:20
entered into that within the what the veil hallelujah
44:25
20 without the forerunner we did this on in our
44:30
cell also people are there now without the forerunner
44:33
is for us entered even who even jesus can we
44:40
see that what God was swearing as a promise with
44:43
an oath to Abraham he was swearing an oath with
44:46
a promise to Abraham was about who? was about
44:49
Jesus Christ as a forerunner even Jesus who was
44:54
made as an high priest for what? forever after
44:58
the order of Melchizedek hallelujah good now
45:04
so now what are we getting from this place Hebrews
45:07
chapter 4 verse 14 Let's quickly do this now.
45:15
So what we are learning is that God spoke a promise
45:19
and Hebrew will give us a teaching, a revelation
45:22
of knowledge. That promise is about who? About
45:26
Christ. That Christ was the one that God swore
45:30
an oath with. Amen. In fact, the way the Hebrew
45:33
said is that he swore the oath so that the hairs
45:38
of salvation will have an anchor. they will have
45:42
a consolation. Amen? And so, how did God swore
45:45
the oath? God swore the oath to ensure that somebody
45:50
is sacrificed. And that person that is sacrificed,
45:55
the scripture called him a forerunner, who is
45:58
Jesus Christ. And the scripture said he is not
46:00
only a forerunner, but he is also a priest. Because
46:04
there's only priests, right, that are authorized
46:07
to offer what? sacrifices. But now, Jesus is
46:11
not only the priest that offers sacrifice, but
46:13
he is the priest that offered himself as his
46:16
Lord, as his sacrifice. And that is why the scripture
46:19
says, he is the one that has entered behind the
46:23
veil, and has entered into the heaven. Hallelujah!
46:28
Jesus, the son of God, and he said, okay look,
46:30
seeing then that we have a great Lord, high priest,
46:34
that is passed into what? Into heavens. Jesus,
46:39
the Son of God, let us hold fast to our what?
46:42
The confession, same communication. Hallelujah!
46:47
Hebrews 5 verse 5 to 6. Let's read these scriptures
46:51
because it will just help us in the things that
46:54
we will just establish on Wednesday. I think
46:56
we'll call this a threshold for this. Hebrews
47:01
5 verse, Hebrews 4. What am I saying? Hebrews
47:06
5 years by 5 to 6. So also Christ glorified not
47:10
himself to be made a high priest, but he that
47:13
said unto him, Thou art my son, today have I
47:17
what? Begotten thee. And as he said also in another
47:21
place, thou art a priest forever after the order
47:24
of what? Melchizedek. Next verse now. Nine verse
47:31
11 to 12. Nine verse 11 to 12. Hebrews 9 verse
47:37
11 to 12 but Christ being calm and high priest
47:41
of good things to come by a greater and more
47:43
perfect tabernacle not made with hands that is
47:45
to say not of what? Not of this building neither
47:49
by the blood of goats and calves but by his own
47:51
blood he entered into once into the holy place
47:56
having obtained eternal redemption for what?
48:00
For us verse 26 fast verse 26 For then must he
48:08
often have suffered since the foundation of the
48:11
world, but now once in the end of the world hath
48:14
he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice
48:17
of what? Of himself. Don't forget Matthew chapter
48:20
1, he says, his name shall be called Jesus, for
48:23
he shall accomplish a task, and the task is that
48:26
he shall save what? His people from their what?
48:30
From their sins. Next verse now. Let's quickly
48:32
hold this. Romans 8 verse 34. Romans 8 verse
48:37
34. Romans 8 verse 34. Who is he that condemneth?
48:46
It is Christ that what? That died. Here rather,
48:50
that it is he that rise again. Who is even at
48:53
the right hand of God, who also maketh what?
48:56
Intercession for us. 8 verse 1. 8 verse 1. 8
49:05
verse 1. There is therefore now no condemnation
49:10
to them who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not
49:13
after the flesh, but after the what? The spirit.
49:17
10 verse 12. Now, Romans 10 verse 12. For there
49:24
is no difference between the Jew and the Greek.
49:28
For the same Lord over all is rich unto how many?
49:31
Unto all that call what upon him. Hallelujah
49:36
Glory to Jesus. Glory to Jesus. Glory to Jesus
49:41
So what are we seeing from here? What we are
49:44
seeing is that the promise that God gave to Abraham
49:47
is a promise Let me put it this way now. It's
49:51
an inclusion promise Do you know what I just
49:54
said? It's an what? It's an inclusive promise
49:58
for the whole nations of the earth that through
50:02
Jesus, right, that the whole nations of the earth
50:07
will be what? Will be saved. Through Christ,
50:12
salvation will come to all. No Jew, no Greek,
50:16
no Gentile, no male, no female. Hallelujah. And
50:20
how is God going to achieve this? Write this
50:23
down. God is achieving this through the resurrection
50:27
of Jesus. He is achieving it through the resurrection
50:34
of Jesus or he has achieved it. First that's
50:37
happened. He has achieved it through the what?
50:40
The resurrection of Jesus. And also how did Abraham
50:47
receive the promise? The scripture says he patiently
50:50
waited for the promise. Abraham received the
50:53
promise or he obtained the promise what? Through
50:57
the resurrection of Jesus. So what are we saying
51:07
in essence? That what God preached to Abraham,
51:11
he preached the gospel. Hallelujah. Amen. If
51:16
you are writing, write it there. We'll just hold
51:17
the thoughts there. That what God preached to
51:20
Abraham, he preached the what? He preached the
51:24
gospel. So how is that called the gospel? Galatians
51:28
chapter 3 verse 8. Galatians chapter 3 verse
51:35
8. How is that called the gospel? The resurrection
51:42
of Jesus Galatians chapter 3 verse 8. Everybody
51:47
let's read together and the scripture wants to
51:50
go and the scripture yes foreseeing that God
51:54
will do what will justify unbelievers amen. Through
52:00
what? What did he do? Preach before, right? The
52:06
gospel unto who? Abraham. Where we read, did
52:11
it sound like gospel? What God told Abraham is
52:15
sacrifice your son. But what we are learning
52:18
now in Epistos by Revelation now is that that
52:21
event is called what? The gospel. Preach the
52:25
gospel unto Abraham saying indeed shall all nations
52:31
of the earth be what? be blessed. Let me summarize
52:35
it this way now so that we can hold the thought.
52:38
The word indeed shall all the nations of the
52:41
earth be blessed is that indeed shall all the
52:45
nations of the earth receive the remission of
52:47
all their sins. Do you know what I just said?
52:52
Indeed shall all the nations of the earth be
52:55
saved through faith. That's the blessing. You
52:59
know Abraham blessings are mine. Abraham blessings
53:05
are mine. I am blessed in the morning, in the
53:08
noon, in the evening. Abraham blessings are mine.
53:13
That blessing is not money blessing. During Abraham's
53:18
time, he was not on the Forbes list. Amen. The
53:24
blessing that Abraham received is the blessing
53:30
of the forgiveness of what? of sins is the blessing
53:35
that all the nations of the earth will be saved
53:39
is the blessing amen that through Jesus Christ
53:44
all the nations of the earth will have what eternal
53:47
life glory to Jesus hallelujah amen so you see
53:52
we do start now everything that we're gonna do
53:56
on Wednesday and ends on this topic for now Amen?
54:03
It's gonna make, I believe, by the help of the
54:06
Holy Spirit, that it's gonna place us at a place
54:09
where not only to do greater works, right? But
54:14
to move around, preaching the gospel by faith.
54:18
Amen? Please, don't forget, we stop at God's,
54:22
preach the what? The gospel. We preach the gospel,
54:27
not only with faith, but with an understanding
54:30
that we have power, right, of Jesus Christ. We
54:34
will come against, I'm using the word carefully,
54:38
we will come against sicknesses, we will come
54:41
against circumstances, we will come against challenges,
54:45
right, with the understanding of where we are
54:48
in the name of who? In the name of Jesus. Hallelujah.
54:54
Because two things we are looking at. One, we
54:56
are looking at gospel in resurrection and then
54:59
Tudor will look at right is power in resurrection
55:02
these are the two elements that are in the name
55:05
of Jesus two elements that are in the what the
55:10
name of Jesus the gospel and the what the power
55:14
because this is very important to the believer
55:16

55:19
