Apostolic conferences like this seek to achieve a few things that are want and to bring to our understanding before we explore the word number one. Conferences like this give us an opportunity to draw those who are. Lost to Jesus. It matters that we have people saved at every occasion that time and chance allows. The Bible says that the desire of God is that all men be saved, and that they come onto the knowledge of the truth. Number two. Apostolic conferences like this give us an opportunity. They provide a unique opportunity to grow in grace and in the knowledge of the truth. We grow in grace by our access to light superior spiritual illumination. The saints rise in the spirit. They transit from one level of glory to another by light. As we behold the world, we are changed. Allelujah. Conferences like this allow us to experience the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit. The Bible says, now the Lord is that spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. He's liberating power to heal, to deliver, to set free, to break all kinds of yokes and bondages. If that sounds like your testimony, shouted believing amen. Apostolic Conferences like this furtherm more, grant us an opportunity to access graces. Impartations are real. I want you to know that graces can be transferred from persons to persons. And every time God sends us like this, he makes an investment of his grace upon our lives. And when he sends that word to Jacob, the intent is that it be lighted upon Israel and praying for someone. The new level of grace that you must access for the days that are before you, may you receive them in the course of this conference. In the name of Jesus. Finally, Apostolic conferences like this provide for us an opportunity to fellowship one with another. The Bible says, how good and how pleasant it is when brethren dwell together in unity. Among the many things that happened there, the Bible says, there the Lord hath commanded the blessing even life Forevermore. So, are you ready to receive all this tonight? We'll be looking at a few things in the course of this conference. Today's finding the morning tomorrow, and then our final session by evening. And let me encourage you who are here and our family following across the globe. Please pay rapt attention to the ministry of the world, because we are built when we understand the speakings of God. Allelujah. Praise the name of the Lord. For our discussion will be looking at Jude. Jude has only one chapter, Jude chapter one, I would say, and verse three Jude one and verse three. We'll be looking at the series contending for the Faith, Contending for the Faith. That will be a teaching series for this Sound of Revival, Contending for the Faith, and tonight is part one. Will be looking at the pilas of the Christian Faith. The pilas of the Christian Faith, the very important teaching that I wanted to pay attention to. Do we have this projected, Okay, I have it here. Let me read it, Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write onto you of the common Salvation, he said, it was needful for me to write onto you and exhort you that you should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered onto the Saints. That you earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered to the saints. Allelujah. So we'll be considering a few questions. Really I want to answer too, principal questions in this discussion on the pillers of the Christian Faith. Number one will be answering the question who is Jesus. It's important for us to understand the person Jesus. We're all God that here the Bible says, onto the Lord shall the gathering of his people be. We live in times where. There are all kinds of orientations flying around reprogramming our spiritual. Understanding, some for good and some for evil. The average believer, if not strengthen tru mentorship, is already confused as to the pillers and the coordinates of the Christian faith. At what point can you define an individual as a Christian? And then if you talk about Jesus, who is a point of convergence, Jesus who is the focal point for the believer's experience, you will be amazed at how many people are at a loss as to their. Definition of who Jesus is. Sold attempt very quickly within the time we have to answer the question who is Jesus. It's important we reintroduce. Jesus to our world because for many they found themselves perhaps in a Christian family, Others found themselves around a Christian environment. And you would think just because you've been around spiritual things that it automatically means that you know Jesus many people do not know Jesus. Many church people do not know Jesus. Unfortunately, many preachers do not know Jesus. It is possible to be around spirituality. Please listen carefully. It is possible to be around the matters of faith. It is possible to understand breakthrough and not know Jesus. It is possible to understand the dynamics of the miraculous and not know Jesus. It is possible to. Understand homoletics, understand nomatology, understand all of these. Aspects of theology and not know Jesus. It is possible to be a dedicated church walker and not know Jesus. It is possible to bear a Christian name and not know Jesus. It is possible to be part of such a great conference like this and not know Jesus. You can sing about him without knowing him. You can write books about him. I mean, our libraries across the globe is full of theological dissertations intelligently presented by people who do not know Jesus. So please walk with me for a few minutes and allow me that has to reintroduce this man who has become the focal point of every believer's pursuit. It is because of him that crusades and conferences are held across the globe. It is because of him that altar calls are made every day and every other day. It is because of him that the. Sick have a chance to experience the supernatural power of God. It is because of him that we have witnessed oppressed people delivered. But the question is who is Jesus? What does the Bible say in defense to the person Jesus? Are you ready to learn? Please pay rapt attention and we trust that God will grant us grace. Matthew, chapter sixteen, Please contending for the faith, but one we're looking at pillers of the Christian faith, and we want to answer the question who is Jesus? Matthew sixteen, Please or begin my reading from fifteen to eighteen. The Pharisees also with the sad Dicees came and ten teen. Please back up to Okay, he said, let's start from verse fourteen, since we already started their media. Can you help me Matthew sixteen fourteen? Okay, So Jesus was. Asking a question, and he said, who do men say that I the son of Man am and some said you are Elijah. Some said you are one of those prophets. And now when we get to verse fourteen of fifteen, now he said, unto them whom. Say ye that I am? In other words, let me hear your understanding about my person sixteen Simon. Peter answered and said, thou art the Christ, the son of the living God. We're reading to eighteen. And Jesus answered and said, let's said art thou Simon's son of Jonah, for flesh and blood hath not revealed this onto you immediately? We learn from this scripture that the revelation of Jesus is beyond the realm of intellect. It will require you moving past the realm of intellect, even though your mind will be at work. Doesn't mean to throw away your mind. It means that the revelation of Jesus, if it must be understood accurately, you must outsource a dimension beyond science. You must outsource a dimension beyond intellect to understand Jesus. Are we learning? And then verse seven eighteen, Now the final verse, I say unto you that you are Peter. And upon this understanding of Jesus as Lord and Christ, I will build my church, and I will build it in such a way that the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it. You believe that, say amen, Scripture number two. Very quickly. Who is Jesus? Look Chapter twenty four. From the starteen very interesting reading. I believe that all of us, I presume, or many of us, are Bible students. Look chapter twenty four. Please from verse thirteen, so. The Bible says, And behold, two of them went that same day to a village called em Mouse, which. Was from Jerusalem about three score follows. All right, go ahead, and they talked together of all the things which had happened. So they were discussing here to put it in context for you, Jesus had died, and the news was all over town. And two men were on their way to em Mouse, discussing such a. Sad event that had happened over the weekend. And the Bible says, it came to pass while they commune together and reason, Jesus, Now you're Jesus. My Jesus himself drew nine and went with them verse sixteen. Follow this conversation carefully, But their eyes were holden that they should not know him. You see that now that proximity Jesus since. Then their myths, and yet they could not recognize him. And he said onto them, what manner of communications are these that you have one to another as you work? And as sad eighteen? And one of them, whose name was cleo Us Answering, said, unto him, art thou only. A stranger in Jerusalem? And hast thou not known the things which have come to pass there in these days? And he said onto them, what things Jesus? Now? Proving their curiosity. He's just letting them speak concerning Jesus of Nazareth, he replied, which was a prophet mighty indeed and word before God and all the people, And how the chief priests and the rulers delivered him to be condemned to death and have crucified him. Keep reading, it says, but we trusted that it had been which have redeemed Israel. So we had expectations. Now it looks like we've indult expectations. Our hopes are all gone. It says, today is the third day since these things were done twenty two. Yeah, and certain. Women also of our company made us astonished, which were early at the Saboca verse twenty three and when they found not. His body, the resurrection. Now they came saying that they had also seen a vision of angels which said that he was alive. Oh hallelujah. Let me stop there and shouted, he's alive. Let every devil know that he's alive. Prophside says, he's alive. Yes, sir, he's alive. There are proof that he's alive. This man were talking to Jesus about himself, and I can imagine Jesus listening very carefully. Wow, you mean the man is alive. Say yes, we had the room or that is alive. Yes he is. He's alive. And every devil tonight will know that he's alive. Every sickness will know that is a life in the name of Jesus Christ. Every hiding must come down, every strong hold shall be broken. You are the fictures crown. You overcome, You overcome. Every hiding must come down, Every strong hold shall be broken. You are the picture strown. You overcome. Every hiding must. Every strong hold shall be broken. You were the picture scroll. You overcome. One more time, shouting at the revelation, say he is alive. Oh my pain, here you the word of the Lord is alive. Trouble for you, the sickness and delay and defeat. I have bad news. He's alive, bad news for everything that is Antichrist. He is alive. Victorio all I allelujah, and so. Verse twenty three said he's still speaking, that he's alive, the patient, as I keep reading twenty four. And certain of them which were with us, went to the sepulcher and found it. Even so as the women had said they saw, but him, they saw not Verse twenty five. Then he said, unto them, all fools. Jesus is responding now, and slow of had to believe all that the prophets had spoken. Twenty six, ought not Christ to have suffered these things and to enter into his glory, And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded onto them in all the scriptures. The things concerning himself. Were reading to thirty two. And they drew nigh onto the village. With that they went and made us though, and he made as though he would gone. Further, but they constrained him. Very passionate people, saying, abide with us, for it is towards evening and the day is first spent. And he went into tarry with them. Now pay attention. And it came to pass. As he sat at the table with them, hallelujah. He took bread and blessed it, and break and gave to him. And their eyes were opened, and they knew him. Their eyes were opened, and they knew him. And as soon as they saw that it was him, he vanished out of their sight. Final verse. And they said to one another, did not our hearts burn within us? While he talked with us by the way, and while he opened us up to the scriptures. Jesus is alike. The men at Emaus were in proximity with Jesus. And you can imagine for all the hours they were with Jesus, they did not know who he was. They did not even know they were disc with Jesus the Living Christ. Allelujah. Can I give you one last scripture at chapter nine, please, from verse four to five. This is Paul's encounter. We are reintroducing Jesus to our world. We're reintroducing Jesus to a generation that has completely lost pots of Jesus, who is the focal point, the epicenter of a Christian pursuit. Speaking about Saul. Now, the Bible says he fell to the earth and heard a voice saying to him, Saul, Saul, why persecutors thou me? Verse five, And he said, who art thou? Lord? Paul was asking who is this now? And the Lord said, I am Jesus. He revealed himself. I am Jesus, whom thou persecutest. It is hard for thee to kick against the prix. Now. I said it earlier, And let me repeat again for your hearing and your learning, that Jesus, the person Jesus, is the eptyicenter, the focal point of the Christian faith. That everything that makes our Christian pursuit what it is is because of this person, Jesus. There are many variables as far as our Christian experience is concerned, and there are many aspects of our Christian life things we can do without. But the one focal point, the meeting point, the center of convergence. Regardless denomination, regardless pride, race, and all the prejudices that exist among gods within the fold, the one thing that should bind everyone is Jesus. We may not agree in terms of doctrinal issues. We may disagree in terms of our approach to ministry. The modus operandi from a denominational standpoint. But the one thing that must never cease to be is the fact that Jesus must remain at the center of everything that we do. Now, please listen, I wrote something here that you cannot love a person you have not encountered. It is difficult to love a person or attempt to love a person you have not encountered. And it is difficult for you to live for a person you do not love. So it starts with an encounter or the knowing, then loving, then serving or living for someone. The reason why many people cannot live for Jesus is because they do not even love him. And the reason why they do not love him is because they do not know him. You cannot love a god you do not know, and you cannot serve a God you do not love, who is. Learning already we're defining Jesus. Now. I wrote something here and I want you to see listen that the inefficiency, the inefficiency in our Christian experience and the poor results that are obtained from our evangelistic programs is traceable to our not knowing Jesus. The reason why, sadly there's a lot of inefficiency in our evangelistic campaigns. As well intentioned as we are, we are not able to see the power, the life, the transformation. And the fruits that befit such spiritual pursuits. The reason is because we do not know Jesus's tampered with our confidence. There are many things we are not able to do, and say and expect because we do not know Jesus. Now, for the believer in Christ, the Scripture is the basis for your learning. Please listen carefully. The believer is not given the liberty to lend God anywhere and anyhow. There are boundaries to our pursuit of spiritual knowledge. It's important for us to know this. There are lots of extra biblical materials agreed, But whilst it has to do with the revelation of Jesus, sufficient is the Scripture to give you all the definitions of Jesus that you need away together. So when we say that the Bible is accurate, you may have heard me teach that the accuracy of the Bible. Is not in its linguistic progress. No, if you gage the Bible based on its linguistic progress, you will find it wanting. The accuracy of the Bible is not even in its. Aechiological accuracy, because you will find on many grounds there are many students call us here, and you will find out that on many grounds many information where Tom Padwick. As the Bible was being canonized, and all the transitions through history. When we say the Bible is accurate, we mean it is accurate with respect to its ability to reveal Christ. That when it has to do with the revelation of Christ. Sufficient is the Bible to teach any body about Jesus Christ. If you use the Bible to gage any other subject, you stand a chance of tampering with so many things. And meeting a lot of inefficiencies. Inas much as the Bible addresses or the issues to the most accurate presentation, Listen carefully the real assignment of the Bible, even though it's a manual that covers every aspect of life. But the most accurate presentation of scripture is when it is used to reveal Jesus. Are we together now? Yes. You can use the Bible as a financial manual. You will get a lot of valuable information that can transform your life. You can use the Bible as an instrument of reconciliation. You can use the Bible to set up a policy that governs an organization, but primarily essentially the entire companion of the sixty six books. As we know, we're designed to help give us an accurate understanding of Jesus. Are we learning now? So let's hear what the Bible has to say about Jesus. Please follow carefully. Number one, the Bible calls Jesus the word John. Chapter one and verse one, the Bible calls Jesus the word John. One one in the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God. Let me hurry up. In Romance chapter one, from verse three and four, the Bible calls Jesus the Son of God. Please say that after me, the Son of God. One more time, believers say the son of God. So the Bible says concerning his son Jesus, Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made the seed of Abraham according to the flesh concerning his son. And then number four, verse four now and declared. To be the son of God with power according to the spirit of holiness by the resurrection of the dead. So the Bible identifies Jesus as the son of God. Isn't it amazing? The son of God believed I the Son of God, big glory, fined. Wander landlo. The Son. So the Bible calls Jesus the Word, the the Word of God. The Bible calls Jesus the Son of God. Number three Hebrews, Chapter twelfth and verse two. The Bible calls Jesus the Author and the finisher of our faith. Very interesting presentation the author Hebrews twelve two. The author and the finisher, It says, looking on to Jesus, who is the author and the finisher of our faith? First John, chapter four and verse fourteen, The Bible calls him the Savior of the world. I like this. First John, chapter four and verse fourteen. Who is Jesus, the Bible says, And we have seen and do testify that the Father sends the Son to be the savior of the world. Jesus is savior. Jesus is Savior of the world. First Timote, Chapter two, from verse four and five. Verse Timoti Chapter two, from verse four and five. The Bible calls him the mediator between God and men. The Bible says, who will have all men to be saved and to come onto the knowledge of the truth? Verse five. I like this he says, for there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus. In Ads Chapter two and verse thirty six, Peter was teaching, preaching on the day of Pentecost, and he called Jesus Lord and Christ, adds two unverse thirty six. Therefore, let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God hath made that same Jesus, whom he have crucified both Lord and Christ. So the Bible defines Jesus and introduces him by all these names and these dimensions. But I want to create your indulgence for a moment. I want to run through a list of what Jesus said about himself. Now, when we write books, there's what we call autobiography. Am I right on that? And that's what we call biography, and all of these things together. On one hand, you can write about someone based on your experience, But an individual can choose to write about himself. And it is assumed that the most accurate presentation of any man is what he writes about himself. It is said to assume that that person, all other factors being constant, that that person. Will be true. Enough. Are we together now? So if you ask me, who is John? Say, a gentleman standing by my left. I can describe him only based on what I know about him. But when you say, John, tell us about yourself, you would trust everything that he says. Now I've told you what's several people by the speed it said about Jesus. I want you to please listen with conviction. Hear what Jesus said about himself. Are you ready? Now? I'm going to run through the least may not have time to explain. I'm answering a question tonight number one. In John chapter six and verse thirty five, Jesus called himself the bread of life, the bread of life. John six thirty five. Who is Jesus? He called himself the bread of life. In John chapter eight and verse twelve. John chapter eight and verse twelve, he called himself the light of the world, the light of the world, the light of the world. John chapter eight and verse twelve. Jesus himself called. Himself the light of the world. Can I continue? In John chapter ten, verse seven and verse nine. John chapter ten, verse seven and verse nine, Jesus called himself the door. I like that definition. He called himself the door. You know what it means to be the door. The door means the authorized access point, authorized access point that no man comment to the Father except. By Jesus the door. Now, I would always give this. Example speaking to my people back home, that either visitor were to come into your house by scaling your fence. He's in your house, but is he welcome. No, you don't call him a visitor. You call him a eve, because even though he's in your house, he came to. An unauthorized access. Am I right on that all of you. Stepped into this place, and as much as I know, nobody told the roof to be here. You came through an authorized access. So Jesus said, I am the door. Can me continue? John chapter ten and verse eleven. Who is Jesus? He had this to say about himself. I am the good shepherd. I am the good shepherd. I am the good shepherd. Immediately we learn that they are bad shepherds, and he qualifies it, says the good shepherd give that his life, lays down his life for his sheep. So Jesus calls himself a good shepherd. The next description John chapter eleven and verse twenty five. John eleven twenty five he called himself the Resurrection and the Life. You also find that. In Revelations one seventeen and eighteen, we're doing a lot of Bible work. Keep writing, keep writing is called the sound of Revival in the name of Jesus Christ, Allelujah. I am the Resurrection and the Life. Jesus himself he spoke as a resurrection and life at the Tomb of Lazarus, and by the time John was caught up in the Isle of Utmost having his supernatural encounters in Revelations one seventeen and eighteen, he said, I am the Resurrection and the Life. We're almost there. What did Jesus say about himself? Now? I like this one John fourteen and verse six. Here's what he said. I am the Way and the Truth and the Life. Can you say that after me, I am the Way and the Truth and the Life. This is beautiful. I am the Way. Now I used to think Jesus meant, I am the Way, then I am the Truth, then I am the Life. It's it looks so. Based on kjv's rendition, but when you studied the root expression, it was describing a journey that I am the way that leads you to truth, reality and then the end product is that you find life. Are we together now? So the journey to life does not start by having life. The journey to life starts by finding the way. Then you access not an information a person called the truth. Then there is an administration of that truth within your spirit. It eventually leads to life. I am the Way, the Truth, and the life. Allelujah. What else did Jesus say about himself? John Chapter fifteen, verse one and verse five. John fifteen, Verse one and verse five. He said, I am the true vine, the true vine. I am the true vine, and my father is the husband man. I am the true vine. Verse five says I am the vine, and ye are the branches. The fruit bearing part of any vine is called the branch. So he says, I am the vine. You draw your life from me, but. The results are produced through your hands. The results are produced through your ministry. Are we together now? It is the branch that bears the fruit. So when he says, I am the vine, and ye are the branches. In other words, we are together, but you are you give evidence. To my presence. Who is Jesus. Revelations, Chapter one and verse eight. I am Alpha omega beginning and the end. I am alpha Omega, beginning and the end. Jesus. For you, I am Alpha Omega, beginning and the end. Who is Jesus? According to his own description about himself Revelations one and verse seventeen, I am the first and the last. This is what he called himself the first, I'm the last. I am the first, the originator of everything, and I am the one who callm nates all things. I am the first and the last. Let me give you one last one. Thank you for your patience. You're doing a good job. Keep writing. Revelations one eighteen. What did Jesus say about himself? I am here that liveth I like this one was dead, was dead, not is dead, was dead. Behold, I am a life forevermore. I am a life forevermore. And I'm not just alive. I have the keys of hell. I have the keys of death. I am here that lived. It is true that I died, But behold see comes as a reality today that I am alive. Hallelujah. So there are ten things based on Scripture. Ten of them. Descriptions that Jesus gave about himself. Who is Jesus called himself all of this? And because The Bible tells us that when he came, he came full of grace and truth. We trust the validity of everything that he said about himself. Are we together now? Yes, he was declared to be the son of God by the Spirit of Holiness, so we know that there is no God, there is no deception, there is no falsehood. We trust the speakings that came from him. Now, very quickly, what was his mission? This is very important in describing Jesus. I need to let you know why he came. Why did Jesus come? Why did Jesus come? I will give you a threefold description, and then will answer the second question. I believe somewhere in the cause of this meeting, the power of the Holy Spirit will rest mightily upon someone, because he's here to give witness to his speakings, the Bible says, and the Lord walking with them confirming the words with signs following for someone while you are listening to this message, he wants to be. The door for you tonight. All of these descriptions, you see inasmuch as Jesus is here to bless all of us. The various descriptions reveal the various dimensions he wants to be to several people according to their challenges. To someone who is seek in your body, you don't need him as the door. You need him as the life, the resurrection, and the life. To someone who is confused trying to look for your way out, you need the. Door, the authorized access. Are we together for someone who is wondering, will I really finish this race? If you started with God, then be sure that the Alpha is also Omega. You will finish. You will finish strong in the name of Jesus Christ. Now very quickly, why did Jesus come. Jesus came to this world for three principal assignments. If you do not understand this, your Christian experience will. Be inefficient, and say and praise on our ignorance on this. Wise to cause people to live meaningless lives and to sabotage up our you know, working in the fullness of the life and the power of God. Number one, The first reason why Jesus came. Listen carefully. He came to be an accurate revelation, an accurate revelation. Of God, the Father, who had been misunderstood. In other words, an accurate revelation of the misunderstood God as simple as this sounds, it's important for you to burnd this in your heart that the first assignment of Jesus was not just to come and die. No, No, his first assignment was to correct our perception about a God we did not know. Because until that time there was no opportunity to have widespread encounters. God would single out individuals and reveal himself to them in types and shadows. Are we together? So the entire nation of Israel depended on the communication that came from their leaders as to who God was. And using the lens of Jesus, we know that many of the prophets, many of. The patriarchs, as sincere. As they were in many regards, they did not have an accurate picture of who God was. So they wrote many things from the lens of their sincerity, but using Jesus as a marching script, using Jesus as a standard, we have a right to question many things they said. In the Bible. You will see that they credited a lot of things to God. For instance, you read very disturbing statements in the Bible, like a lying spirit came out from the Lord. Now, if you are a believer and you're not. Enlightened, that is inconsistent with God's character. So Jesus came to deframe and form to the God we never understood, so that everything we read prior to his arrival that God was who. Would use him as a verification system. If God said I am love, we have a right to doubt it until we find Jesus demonstrating love. Are we together now? So there are many things. God said he was, or the prophet said God was, that we do not see captured in the life of Jesus. For instance, the Bible tells us he was tempted in every way, yet without saying and when you read part of the works of the flesh, life is part of it. So we can question the fact that God is not a man and that it should lie. So a lying spirit could not have come out of God. That was an error in the understanding of the prophet. Now we don't condemn them. We salute them for the much that they brought. But we can vet spiritual understanding using the person Jesus, who understands me so far. Allelujah, that everything you find that is said about God and you cannot verify it in the person Christ, you have a right to question it. The presence of Jesus gives you the presence to look carefully at every other speaking about God. As revealed by the prophets of old, the first assignment of Jesus was that he came as a revelation of. The Father, the misunderstood God. So the Bible stays, for instance, the Lord is gracious and compassionate, he's slow to anger, and rich in love. How do we know that is a true statement about God? We look to Jesus. Did we see him demonstrate compassion? Yes, the woman at the well? Did we see him demonstrate compassion? Yes, Bland Batamio. Did we see him demonstrate compassion yes, at the pool of Betesta. So we can conclude, using the person Jesus, that it is true that God is gracious and compassionate, he's slow to anger. Is God the righterus? George? Yes, how do we know? We look at the life of Jesus. When they turned the house of Prayer to a den of roberts, he got there and turned the tables, and he said, my father's how should be called the house of prayer for all nations? But you have made it a den of roberts. So we know immediately that God is George, and that when the Bible says God will George the living and the dead, it's not a lie. We shaw that manifest in Jesus. The Bible says, I've spoken twice. Have we heard that power belongs to God? How do we know that is true? What's Jesus? Did he heal the sick? Yes? Did he come the sea? Yes? And the greatest demonstration of power was victory over seeing Satan, hell and the grave. So when Jesus rose up triumphantly, I like the description he folded his grave clothes and kept it quietly and left it as an evidence that death had no power. Again, now there. Are implications to everything that I'm describing, and we look at that at a latter session, because you'll be learning that everything Jesus came to demonstrate was a. Portrait of what God intends that you become. Now now that as he is, not as he was, as he is, it is a so are we? Now? That becomes your your benchmark, your reference, your standard. Your press, your pursuit. When you say I desire to. Be like Jesus, it means that you want to rise to that point of stature in the spirit where you literally become like him, a demonstration, a revelation of the invisible God who is learning so far so the first assignment of Jesus when he walked upon the earth was to give definition and to correct our understanding about the misunderstood God. Number two very quickly. Why did Jesus come? He came to make the life of. God accessible to us by reconciling men to God. I can say this said thousand times and not be exhausted by the truths that are contained in this statement. That Jesus came to make the life of God not just available, it was always available. In him was life, but it was not accessible. He didn't just come to make the life of God available. He came to make the life of God accessible to man by reconciling man to God. Efficient Chapter two, fourteen and fifteen Efficient chapter two, Efficient chapter two. For his is a peace, who hath made both one and had broken down the middle wall of partition between us fifteen. Having abolished in his flesh. The enmity even the law of commandments contained in ordinances, for to make in himself of twain one new man, having made peace. The Bible says, he is our peace. He's brought together. He's reconciled us to God. Ephicients one and verse seventeen and verse seven, Efficient Chapter one and verse seven. The second assignment of Jesus, the Bible says, King, whom we have redemption. If you believer in Christ, say that boldly, say I have redemption through His blood, Yes, sir. The forgiveness of things, the Bible says, according to the riches of his grace. So. Number one, Jesus came to reveal the Father, to reveal the unknown God, the misunderstood God. He came as a correction to our understanding of God. Number two. He came to make the life of God what we call eternal life, everlasting life, all the way. He came to make it accessible to all men, not some men, all men. Number three Jesus Christ came as the patent man. He came as the patent man. The model of God's idea, the model of God's expectation for the believer. He came as a patent man, the model of God's idea, the model of God's expectation for man. Hallelujah, God's idea, God's expectation. He came as a model. Now If you do not understand this threefold assignment, something will happen to your Christian experience. Even as a preacher. Most people number one do not know who Jesus is. Number two, They do not even know why he came. The average believer just believes that he came to die. That is good, that is true, but that is incomplete. His threefold assignment must be understood by every believer who intends to be an effective witness and to benefit maximally from your Christian experience. Let me recap one last time. Number one, that Jesus came as a revelation to us of the misunderstood God. He came as a correction to our prior perceptions about God. Number two. He came to make the life of God accessible to anyone at all. John three sixteen. For God so loved the world, for God so loved Joshua Selman. For God so loved the City of Leeds. For God so loved the United Kingdom, Europe, Africa, America, India, Asia, all nations at all. That he gave his then only begotten son. He said that whosoever I like that statement, whosoever the drunkard, the prostitute, whosoever the downcards, the depressed, whosoever, the unbeliever, the prodigal son, prodigal daughter, prodigal, whoever whosoever believeth on him. The Bible declares that there is a law. He was not a statement. He is a law that whosoever believes in him he should not. Perish, but have everlast in life. Allelujah prays the name of the Lord. It's important for us to understand that Jesus came to achieve this, and the meaning of that is that if you are in this place right now and you have not opened up yourself to receive this threefold ministry of Jesus, it then means that you are leaving yourself at a loss because He's brought you a correct definition of the invisible God. He's brought you access to life, life, superior life, glorious life beyond the context you have known. Life beyond breathing in oxygen and breathing out carbon the oxide, life that contains within it purpose, life that contains within it peace Jesus. The second question would be answering to night very quickly, and then we pray what is the gospel? While looking at foundations of the Christian faith. There are many of them, at least seven or eight. But I decided to pick Jesus and to pick the Gospel. What is the gospel exactly? Because the Bible says in Romance, Chapter one and verse sixteen. It says, for I am not ashamed of the Gospel, give it to us place Romance one sixteen, I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ. It calls it the power of God onto salvation. You know what that means. That means that is the intelligence system that was built in God's economy for accessing his life. You cannot find salvation through salvation outside of the Gospel. The Gospel is God's method of getting people saved. The Gospel is God's method of transmuting his life to anybody at all. It is the power of God onto salvation to everyone that believe, to the Jews first and also to the Greek. So very quickly, what is the Gospel? I will give you a summary of what the gospel is. Now. From a theological standpoint, the word gospel means good news or glad tidings. And from a theological standpoint, there are seven dimensions to the gospel. But there's just one of them that I'm going to be picking that is relevant for a discussion tonight. Are We Together? It's called the Gospel of Salvation. So when I talk about the gospel, now, please have it at the back of your mind that I refer. To the Gospel of Salvation. So when I say what is the gospel, I mean what is the Gospel of Salvation? Please let me your attention look up if you can. The Gospel of Salvation is a revelation of the Father's law, a revelation. Of the Father's law. Are we together? And that that revelation happened in and through the substitutionary sacrifice. Of this Jesus his son. So the gospel comes as a revelation of the Father's love. Is a description of the extent of the Father's love for man. But that love was dramatized, that love was exemplified a wei together. It was demonstrated in and through the substitutionary sacrifice of Jesus, the object of that sacrifice being Man and the entire creation. This is the Gospel of Salvation. Now, who ever believes that gospel, and I was speak a bit on it, whoever believes there are three rewards that have been programmed in honor to your believe in that gospel. Number one is called forgiveness of sin. Everybody who believes the Gospel of Salvation stands on legitimate ground by the blood of the eternal Covenant, to be a beneficiary of number one, the forgiveness of sain. Are we together? Number two we have access by receiving the Gospel, we have access to the gift. Of righteousness, the gift of righteousness. And then number three we have access to Zway, the life of God. It's someone learning now. So when the Bible talks about the Gospel, it is a revelation of the Father's love demonstrated in and through the substitutionary sacrifice of Jesus. And when I talk about the substitutionary sacrifice of Christ, it is captured in the threefold expression called is death, his burial, his resurrection, in fact his accession. Because if you stop at his resurrection, that is wonderful. But it does not stop there. The Bible tells us that he was glorified. A coronation actually happened. Jesus was already resurrected, but he was not coronated when he met Mary so his death, his burial, his resurrection, his. Ascension, his exaltation. At the right hand of the Father is captured in this substitutionary sacrifice. And the Bible teaches that for any man at all, including someone listening to me right now, including someone who has had. A sincere heart. You've not been into this Christian church thing, but you are listening diligently. Let me give this preacher a chance. I'm bringing for you good news, and the news is that the Father loves you so much, and he demonstrated his love by sending his son, not an angel, not a prophet, all of them were foreign ers. He sends his son, his then only begotten son. That whosoever believes, whosoever means you, your spouse, your child, someone who has lived their life, lived all kinds of things. Confused, dejected, depressed, he says, common to me, all ye that are weary and heavy leaded. He leaves you with an assurance. He says, I will give you rest, and that this rest is threefold. Number one, forgiveness of sin, for all of sin and falling short of the glory of God. Number two, the gift of righteousness, capacity to stand in the father's presence, without a sense of guilt, without a sense of inferiority, without a sense of condemnation. This is a definition by E. W. Kenyon. He defines righteousness as the ability to stand in the Father's presence without a sense of guilt, a sense of inferiority, a sense of condemnation. I'm no longer a slave to fee child, I'm no longer slay to see. A Allelujah? Are we learning now? So? The Gospel of Salvation, I'll repeat one last time, is a revelation of the Father's love. You must have this at the back of your mind. That all the dramatizations that happened through the. Death, burial, resurrection, exaltation. Of Jesus was a painful dramatization of the extent to which the Father loves. You and I that was how far he was willing to go to give his son. The only person who came close to dramatizing that was Abraham giving Isaac. He says, Abraham, take now your son than only some hun thou lovest, and go and offer him as a bunt of free The Bible says Abraham got up early the morning and carried Isaac. Unknown to Abraham. He was dramatizing something that would become a reality to all men. And I remember the Bible teaches that Abraham plays Isaac. Can you imagine romance? Chapter four records his contemplations that he was willing to kill Isaac and beg God to bring him back to life. I would obey you, father, my son is dead, but please bring him back to life, not knowing Jesus would come back to life. See, he was willing to kill that one son. Amazing. When you want to gauge the extent of the father's love, you gage it by who and what he gave. There are four dimensions to love. One is called passion. Number two is called commit Number three is called pleasure. Number four is called sacrifice. I'm just digressing to make a statement four expressions of love number one, Passion number two, commitment, the staying power number three, pleasure number four sacrifice. Of these four dimensions, the highest and the greatest demonstration of true. Love is sacrifice. Are we together now? So if someone tells you I love you, what you're trying to say is I am passionate about you, I am committed to you. I intend to bring pleasure to. Your life, as well as derived pleasure from your life. But the fourth one, which most people omit intentionally. Intentionally, love is not measured by how much you are willing to leave. It is measured by how much you are willing to die. I'm sure you're doing it here in UK a day where you honor all your military people. You have that day, what do you call it? Yes, Remembrand's Day for the military, and you stand to give them, even though dead. You salute them because their willingness to give their all even to death. Was proved that they not only loved you, but that they loved your nation. So when the Father gave Jesus, the Bible tells us that Jesus himself cried at jet semone. He groaned and cried until tears were like drops of blood driven from him. And his prayer point was that, Father, if it is possible, can't you route and not that way of making this happen without me dying? He said, nevertheless, not my will, but yours be done. You would think that I don't prayed that much. He would be spared from everything that you went through. We call it in theology the passion of the Christ. What you know well, most of you know it as a movie, but it's a description of the torture that you went through for you and for me, for status he was betrayed. I don't want to ask you if you've been betrayed before. Don't lift your hands. Don't lift your hands, don't lift your hands. Just keep it there. Let it be between you and the King of kings and the Lord of lords. And for those of you who are still wounded. There's a bambin Gilliad in the name of Jesus Christ. Are we together? So I'm not going to attempt to ask you if you are been betrayed, But I presume you have. All you need to do is to live long enough, and you will know that this world is not as friendly as it propose to be. As a baby, you know, babies smile in the hospital. They tickle them and make them believe that it's such a beautiful, flow less world. And then as they grow they learned that that description was not exactly accurate. Okay, but let me have your attention. I hope you understand me so far. So Jesus went through all of this torture emotionally. He was tortured spirit soul and body, because man felt spirit, soul and body. And the Bible tells us that he was lacerated, he was whipped forty saved one. They whipped him, and you. Know the way their stripes were made, made of bones and metals and needles, and you can imagine the whole body bleeding. And then a crown of thorn was placed upon his head, and they made mockery of him, mockrey of him. Then he was given a heavy cross and driven to God gotter the righteous man, the sinless one, becoming. Seen for those he loved. And the Father was watching pain by what was happening to the son. But you could not stop because through the pain of the son, he saw my redemption. Through the pain of the son, he saw your redemption. Through the pain of the son. He saw the possibility for someone who is supposedly an outcast, someone who is supposedly eliminated from the faith. He saw that person coming back home. And it was worth that sacrifice. The Bible tells us that when Jesus was hung upon the cross, he wept. He said, a loyala maxter back to knife Father, why have you turned your face away from me? The Father had to turn his face from him the same way he turned his face from sin. Then, finally, the Bible makes a very profound statement. Jesus said, into your hands, I commit my spirit. Then the Bible says he died. Now pause for a moment. Life died, Love died, Grace died, Truth died, wisdom died, Glory died. That must have been in that moment in the realm of the. Spirit, because the angels did not have accurate understanding of what was happening. They were just playing as far the instructions they were receiving. I'm sure the angels, I presume they were watching with shock and wonder. The word dead. No, come on, somebody must be joking somewhere. And the Bible lets us know that when he died, you would think that was the end of everything. And then the same changes. Paul was granted access to this. And that he went to Hayd, the place of the dead, and there when he got there, the cohorts of Hell were all over him to bow. What is in bowing acknowledging lordship? When you bow to any entity, you have submitted and acknowledged lordship. And since Satan tried to negotiate it gently in Matthew chapter four, and Jesus said, no, we're not bow to you. The cohorts of hell, now that he had become seen the Holy Spirit was not in hell to assist him. The announcing was not in hell to assist him. No, and the Bible says, when the legal claims of justice was fulfilled, he. Made a public show of them worthy the land. See here the throw. We crown you. Now with many crown you raid to. Highly paid. Geez of God, the darling him cru see. Worthy, the. Thinking about more time? What is the lamp worthy? The lava laa data. We crowd you. Now we've made crown. You raise me to re geez o God, the lie. To she. Worthy worthy. The hymn writer says, up from the grave he arose with the mighty triumph for his force. He arose the victor from the dark to me, and he rains and leaves forever with the same Storay. Listen, ladies and gentlemen, I want you to know that when Jesus triumph over sin, over Satan, over Hell, over the grave, he also. Triumphed over curses. He also triumph over defeat. He also triumph over depression, triumph over mental health crisis. He triumph over cancer. Come on now over cancer. They triumph over eye blood pressure, the triumph over blindness. The triumphed over deadness. I went together. Y's how he said about himself, speaking with respect to this. I am here, that was dead, but I'm now alive. It's true that I died. I died for your sake. I died for your pain. I died for your sickness. I died for your sorrow. I died for that misery. But now when I rose, listen, now watch this. Here is how the technology of redemption works. That if it was seen as righteousness for an unrighteous man to be or a righteous man to be declared on righteous, then similarly it must also be righteous for an unrighteous man. You and I through that one who has died to now be declared righteous. Are we together? That means if God did not stop the process of making righteous Jesus to become unrighteous, then God will not stop the process of making any unrighteous man to be declared righteous. You don't have to look like it, you don't have to feel like it. It is a setil reality based on the integrity of scripture. Are we learning now? Yes? Now, please sit down, We're about to pray. There are two dimensions to the Gospel. There is the Gospel as a message that saves. There is the Gospel as a message that saves. But there is the Gospel as a value system that transforms society. We deal with that at a letter session. But just for your knowledge that when we talk about the Gospel, it is twofold in its operation. There is the Gospel as a message that saves. In fact, I think it was TL. Osborne who wrote a book like that, the message that saves, a message that saves, or the message that saves. Then there is the value system, a mindset, a programming, a mentality that can turn any society to be heaven on earth. But for our discussion tonight focuses on this message. I want to wrap up my teaching tonight by showing you what is in that message. What is in the message when you hear the gospel. Ladies and gentlemen, please listen to me. What was put in that message? Why is the message so important? Why do we travel around the world bringing that message to people that the Father, regardless who you are, that the Father loved you, he loved you with an everlasting love, and he gave Jesus. Are we together? He gave Jesus as a ransome. Now, the word. Ransom is an interesting word. You have to understand, unfortunately, how terrorists work. So when they kidnap an individual, they try to make contact with the family and they call out any amount, usually an ambitious amount, dangerously ambitious, maybe one hundred thousand pounds, five hundred thousand pounds, one million pounds in fact, and they say, if you cannot bring this, your daughter or your son would be killed. And they usually would give time into it. And because the father loves his daughter or his son so much, even if the money has been budgeted for something else, he would have to reprioritize and change every other thing and then finally bring the ransom. So the word. Redeem means to buy back by penay price, to buy back by paena price. Man willingly gave himself and gave the authority of earth to Satan by reason of jerelessness, as captured in the garden of Eden, and Jesus had to come on legal grounds to redeem man. Are we together now? Yes? And he went through all of that for you and for me, what is in this message? Why do we preach it across the globe? Why do we heraled Jesus and herald the gospel as a message that saves. Number one in the message that saves is love. The first revelation or the first time what do I call it now? The first blessing? That is half charging the message called the gospel is love. That when you preach the gospel, you give people a chance to encounter. The love of God. And love is the cure to hear. The Bible says perfect love, Love that is perfected can drive away fear, fear of what, fear of yesterday, fear of today, fear of tomorrow, fear of making it or not making it? Are we together now? Do you know? Look up? Please? I don't know if that happens here and leaves and in UK, but our world is gradually plunging into fear. You find young people living in fear, business people living in fear. I'm sure UK was also impacted by COVID. Say that, do you know that there are people since COVID have. Not been able to gain your footing again as business people, as parents. There are people who live in here will another pandemic. Come yes or no? And if it does, what happens to me? How about fear of meeting your bills? How about fear of you know tomorrow? How about fear of what your children become. There are people who have diseases today, not traceable to jams, not treasable to viruses. It's a psychological problem, fear, I tell you. The cure to fear, in addition to counseling, is to understand the message of the love of the Father, that if the Father could dive Jesus, what will leave give you? If the Father could give Jesus. Is it a mortgage problem he cannot sort? Is it a health problem? Will you put Jesus and a health problem side by side? So it gives you confidence and boldness to know that if he gives something nobler, someone greater, in fact, the greatest of all gifts, he will give you anything of lesser value. Love the you, or to fear. I have indoctrinated myself into believing that God loves me. He really does. He loves me. He's shown me a thousand times. I was taught to world person. Nathaniel was singing the song a Shay you know. I just I just stood there and I was just meditating on the goodness of God. If God never blesses me again as a man of God, I'm still the most grateful person. He's done too much in my life. He's done too much. He's shown me messy, He's shown me grace. He is shown me kindness, the Gospel, the Gospel. Thank you. It's someone learning now. I remember days when we would watch Billy Graham and watch all of these patriots, and I remember I would sit down quietly just watching on television, hoping that one day we'll have a chance to make our own mac These are. The days, these had the days. Now Billy Graham's are gone. Rein had Buncas are gone. Tl Osborne's are gone. Declared the stage for us, and we must hold that gospel and blaze that fire with. The same favancy. Until now. Every time I watch there and you their teachings at all, I'm so inspired. Sometimes I get emotional. And I'm thinking, my God, do you know that some of them stood on some of these stages that were honored to nownstand him? Some of them were there. Perhaps I don't know if this was already built by then you see that, I'm sure somewhere across the UK, somewhere across America, and now His Majesty has given us that honor to stand and push this glorious gospel that Jesus loves, he saves, he heals, he delivers, he transforms. He can't turn any life to look like glory, to be glory and expression of his love. What is in the message love? Number two? What is in the message peace? Peace with God and the peace of God. Peace with God? You will never find peace in this troubled world. I tell you Romance, Chapter fight and Verse one, Peace with God. Romans Fife and vers one being justified by faith leaves UK. We have peace with God. Do you know what that means? That for you today, if for any reason you transit in glory and you are normal, that statement rests. In peace is not for everyone? Did you what I said? Of course, I know we put it just stampete on grapes, but believe me, based on. The authority of scripture, the Bible says disappointed onto man. To die once and after that the judgment. It is only when you receive that message and the person Jesus that you you don't have to die to rest in peace. Rest in peace is not a statement for dead people. Rest in peace is a statement for those who have received the peace of God. You can rest in peace while you are alive. Are we together? So now, rest in peace is not an insult. It's not an advocacy that you die. It's a blessing. Well to those who are listening to me. Now, So that you don't tell someone who rest in peace and then they call the called are we together? Don't go around shouting. Rest in peace to someone and say, look, I was thought. It's a blessing. So bless wiki as a language among ourselves. You don't, well, you tell them live in peace. I think that's the Once you mentioned life, they are ready to receive. So live in peace. Are we together? Philippians Chapter one, verse six. So we have peace with God, and then we have the peace of God. You need both peace with God and. The peace of God. The Bible says, the anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, Let your request be known onto God verse seven. Now and the peace of God, which pass it all understanding, Let it keep your heart and your mind. Someone lay your hand on your chest and say I receive peace, or you need it in this troubled world. Say it again, I receive peace. I receive peace. Yes, you need to prophosi with the peace of God. Someone again, say I have peace. Refuse to be troubled. You have peace. It doesn't mean to be irresponsible, but that, regardless what it is, mountains or valleys, you approach them. Knowing that the Prince of Peace He's given you peace. And the Bible says further, now. The Lord of Peace himself give you peace all ways, by all means, always, by all means, always, by all means. Let me tell you the truth. I have made up my mind, first as a believer, then as a man of God, that I will never allow anything in life to stop me from sleeping. For someone. After this conference, go home and sleep. Go home for God's sake and sleep a personal I have one week as go home. Which of you, by worrying, can add one cubit? Worried does not help anything. It destroys everything, even what is already working. It destroys it. Psychologists will teach us that you're you're unable to make wise decisions when you are tellst when you are worried. Even intelligent people make foolish decisions when you're depressed and worried. Ah, my soul, find rest, Find rest, Find God is in control. I may not know the way of the wind, know how bones are formed in the womb of how who is with child? But one thing I know is that if God is for me, no one can be against me. He gave Jesus for my peace. He will give anything for my peace. He gave Jesus for my peace. He will give anything for my peace. I will sorry you above the storm. Father, You are king, and I will be still. Let know you loger, I will be hallelujah. What is in the message salvation? As Chapter one, verse twelve. What is in the message salvation is the what saw terrier you say, holistic representation of liberty salvation? What is in the message? The Bible says, neither is their salvation in any other les uk. There are many things that can be therapeutic. There are many things that are beneficial. Thank God for medicine, thank God for therapists, thank God for counselors, thank God for wonderful family members, thank God for good preachers. Thank God for parents. But yea me. Neither is their salvation in any other for there is none other name under. Heaven that is given among men whereby we must be saved. That means any. Other name you bring as a drug, as a consultant, as a man of God. They are names, and thank God for their contribution. But you will never have holdsome salvation. Until you come to Jesus, so says the Bible. There is no other name. Hm, there is no other name, and my God. In this world there are many names. I'll give you an. Example with all joy doctors, consultants, engineers, IT specialists, financial experts. These are wonderful names. These are names that every troubled person wants to hear. The police, the military, law enforcement agents, a good lawyer, wonderful attorney. These are names that we cherish so much. We pay to have those names close to us because they represent security. And here the Bible tells us that true. Salvation, so terrier souso, comes when we call upon the name of the Lord. For the name of the Lord is the strong power, the Bible says. The righteous they run to eat, and they are saying. Jesus is the name, not Joshuah. Salmon Josh Salmon only lifts the name Jesus is the name are way together. When I say Jesus, I don't just mean j E. S u. S is the ethnic description of the person who owns that name. He's the word his Lord Jesus, as we know. And as we call it, was the ethnic description to such a person. So don't call it like a Jenny j E. S U s Like you're holding onto a charm. It has no power. First and foremost, you are even wrong in the pronunciation. But when we say Jesus, we want the nations to know that the king we are talking about, the savior we're talking about, is the one who walked upon the earth bearing the name. Yes, sure Jesus, are we together. Our God? Please cham here He rais. For more. For a. So in the message the Gospel, the message that saves is the Love of God revealed. We find love the cure to fear. In the message is peace, Peace with God and the peace of God. In the message is salvation wholesome. Salvation includes deliverance, includes breakthrough. Finally, for a session tonight. In the message that say is Dominion Romans five seventeen. Dominion, it is not just a message that gives peace, that reveals love that saves, but it enthrones. For if by one man's offense, death reigned by one, it says much more, they which received a bondance of grace and of the gift of righteousness, shall reign in life. By one Jesus Christ. That means the Gospel gives you access to get back to. Your original status, to now reign as a king and as a priest onto God Romance five I mean Revelations five ten. We have been made onto our God, kings and priests, and the Bible says we shall reign on earth. What do you lose when you reject the Gospel? Number one and of portus unity to see, understand, and experience the love of God as revealed in Christ Jesus, What do I lose Joshah Salman if I reject the Gospel an opportunity to taste of peace that the world cannot leave. The peace with God and the peace of God. Peace more superior than any medical attention can provide peace, more superior than any law enforcement agency can provide peace, more superior than any legal practitioner, no matter how professional, can provide peace that no home can give you, no matter the price, peace with God. What do you stand to lose when you reject Jesus and reject this gospel that has changed millions across. The globe through history. You stand to lose an opportunity to experience salvation, the greatest expression of it being the life of God. Freedom from sin, freedom from oppression, freedom from yokes, freedom from curses, freedom from ill speakings, negative programmings. What do you stand to lose when you reject Jesus? Because you have the right to reject Jesus. You can reject Jesus and God will honor your decision. But with that decision will come the consequences. As a mention in them, you will never truly be able to reign in life. And you may think that here and their things are working in your life without Jesus. Now, let me tell you something about Satan. For many years, he can allow you to play around with your life, and in one. Moment he will strike and bring your word crumbling. The Bible says Babylon, Babylon. The Great in one hour is your destruction. Comp That was a formidable city that was captured within what's a metaphor the kings of the earth. One that at that edity is called Barbylon an antichrist system. But in one hour everything came crumbling. I can tell you everything you have minors, God is only a mirage. It's a matter of time. Many people live to their graves, even though successful, as the world calls success. They live with lots of money, pounds, dollars, flourishing businesses. And you know, chances are excellent that when you are very comfortable without Jesus, you feel, what do I need Jesus for? I'm a millionnaire? What do I need Jesus for? I'm a professor? Perhaps, what do I need Jesus for? I'm doing well, fined by myself. I'm my own whatever it is. You know, you're just reason things out and you say I'm fine and comfortable. I respect your orientation, I respect your conviction. Or leaves uk. Let me propose for you a more superior life than that which you have experienced. I present to you tonight, Jesus, the Bread of life. I present to you tonight, Jesus, the King of Kings and the Lord of lords. I present to you tonight, Jesus, the Captain of your salvation. I present to you tonight, Jesus, the one who will judge the living under dead. I present to you tonight, Jesus, the fountain of wisdom. I present to you, Jesus, the mediator of the new Covenant. I present to you, Jesus, the door into a new and a living way, a richer and more superior spiritual experience. A post of what do I need? I'm already convinced you've spoken so well about this, Jesus. What exams do I need to write? How much do I need to pay? Unfortunately? The pride has been fully paid, fully paid? What manner of love is this? That you not only revealed your state, but you went further to pay that price, and that the only thing you do? Now? Please look up, Please look up, Please look up, Please look up. Let me have your attention. I want to say something very serious. Now, what you do with Jesus determines what your life becomes. In the Bible, many people were in proximity with Jesus. Some were interested in making money out of Jesus. We call them judas. Others were interested in climbing the ladder of influence through Jesus. We call them Peter and John and brought their mothers to help them in that political campaign. They were interested in being positioned left and right. Are we together? Others were non challenged about Jesus. They were just happy that they were around this celebrity who they hoped one day would conquer herald Caesar and be seated as king and sort all of them by positioning them various cabinets. And so when Jesus didn't seem to say anything about fighting conquests, they got angry and they said, you better don't play with us. We left everything to follow you. It was not love, It was ambition. Because the ambitions were tested one by one. They said, we've left all to follow. You give us good news. They said, well, you keep following. And no man who has left me left father more than so on and so forth. And they were angry when they caught Jesus then left without thinking. They were already planning to leave. They just needed an occasion to empower them to leave. And a luyer. You can use Jesus as an instrument to make money. You can use Jesus as an investment. Unfortunately many are doing so. They don't love him, They just want to use him as an idea. That produces profit. You can use Jesus as a charm just to get quick breakthrough and whatever, and then I'm not interested in a relationship. I hear there is one spiritual concept called Jesus. Now I need a miracle. Jesus show up, and that's it. But let me tell you the most profitable. Way of engaging with Jesus. To come to him as you are in total brokenness and repentance, to receive the forgiveness of sin, to be called the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus, and to receive that life that begins. For you a new day, a new experience. I came tonight with a burden by the spirit. If we must contend for the faith that once once delivered, we must return back to the preaching of the Gospel as the epicenter of everything that we do. We can discuss business is wonderful. We can discuss keys to breakthroughs wonderful. We can discusse principles of favor, greatness, breakthroughs, even miracles, science and wonders. All of those things are you know, they're wonderful. But the centrality of the Christians experience must be Jesus. And let me tell you this, Only the Gospel presents Jesus in his truest form. If you can draw principles out of the life of Jesus, you can draw principles of business. Principles of family life, finances. But the trust you want to see, the strength the love of Jesus, then you preach the Gospel, the Gospel that saves. That is when you will see Jesus in the truest fate, as revealed as the love of the Father, as. The peace of God, as the wisdom of God. Scattered across this beautiful auditorium tonight are precious men and women. You came here. Invited, came here excited, and through the worship, through the prayer, now listening to me teach, the spirit of God began to convict you. From the time I came up stage. Here, as I began to describe Jesus to you, it was as though I were describing a stranger, a stranger you've always wanted to know, a stranger You've always wanted to love, beyond the religiosity of church, beyond religion, beyond fanatism. That you desire a rich relationship with that Jesus. That thousands of people here are saying, apostle, if you will give you an opportunity right now, I will make this Jesus. Lord of my life. I have heard you. I desire this gift of the forgiveness, of saying righteousness and the life of God. I want to give you a chance right now to make this decision. Now. Please look at me. One gift that God gave every man, including everyone looking at me and the many who have fallen online, is the gift the power to choose. You can choose to reject Jesus. You can choose to accept Jesus. It is within your power. You can listen to me and say, what a great preacher, beautifully painted teacher using words and stop there. But I want to tell you that you will never find true salvation any other way. The Bible teaches that true salvation only comes by accepting the substitutionary sacrifice of Jesus. To believe that he walked upon the earth and live a sinless life. To believe that for your sake, he died for your sake, He was buried for your sake, He went to head for your sake. He resurrected by the glory of the Father for your sake. He is ascended today, seated. At the right hand of the Father, and he wants to give you a chance. He sends us all the way from Africa to bring you this message that saves. Simple but powerful, simple but potent, is the message that has changed our lives. We did not invent the message. It came from the Bible. This is a real button that was given to us. Many preached this message even before we were born. Many of them have joined the cloud of witnesses. We're honored and privileged to hold that button and to drum it right now that Jesus still. Saves, Jesus still heals, Jesus still delivers. I'm going to count one to five, beloved brothers and sisters, for the many who are in this auditorium who came with hunger in your heart listening to me and being convicted like the men at Emaus. Whilst you heard me speak, the Holy Spirit began to precky your heart. That your heart is now burning. You are saying, I need this Jesus. I'm tired of playing games, tired of playing church. I sincerely want to make it right with Jesus. For those who are watching online, across the airwaves and the many who are here. I want to give you an opportunity. I know that we have limited space in front, but I'm going to ask you as an act of total surrender, humility, brokenness. I'm going to count one to five, and I'll request that you leave your seat if you can, and come stand right in front of me. We can make use of the extreme asles. There are people who need to make that decision right now. I want you to stand and come right to me. Don't sit back. If you hear this word, he's calling you. He wants to give you a new beginning. Come, I begin my accounting. Now. Come come, hallelujah. Come, come, young and old, Come to Jesus. God bless you. Let encourage them. Leave. God bless you, God bless you. Thank you, God bless you. God bless you, God bless you. If the front is at, I said, you can stand at the els. You can stand at the ouse. That's fine. Once we have the front, Exo said, I see so many people at the ols, so you can stand there. It's a sign of surrender. I see you, and Jesus is seeing you. For those who are in front here, we can give them the liberty to just feel up the space in front and then everyone else. I'm watching you right where you are, Kim club in. They're coming, keep coming, keep coming. God bless you for someone watching somewhere in Africa. You're watching in the US, watching in Canada, India, China, somewhere across Europe. This is Sound of Revival UK twenty twenty four, while the beautiful city of Leaves winning souls for Jesus. You can join to make this noble decision right now. They are possible if you will. Give me a chance. I want to make it right us. I want to make it right with Jesus. I want to make it right with Jesus. One more minute. They're still coming. Let's clap for them. Let's encourage them as a cough. Let's encourage them as the cough. They're standing at the various house. My God, such a great harvest. Hallenju Jah prays. The name of the Lord. Now, apologies to the many of you at the isles. I'm sure that you may not be giving the liberty to cross to come here, but I'm going to leave you to pray that prayer and right where you are. In addition to the few who are here in front. I want you to make that decision with all your heart, with all your heart. Now you would. Notice that they are decision cards that are given to you. We have counselors giving you decision cards. Let me request that you please have the cards. Please allow the counselors to give them the decision cards. You'll be requested to just feel your details to help us follow up on you. But then, please please spare me a minute, my God, look the great harvest. You have to be standing where I'm standing to see what is going on. The hours are literally from this road to that road, to that role. Let's give Jesus a praise for a great harvest. Hallelujah in the name of Jesus. That's an altar call too, right there, my goodness, Let's give Jesus praise. Right to the back many coming to Jesus. That's what happens. That's the power of the Gospel, able to save even to the autumos. Now, please lend me your attention for one minute. I need to lead you in a prayer. This prayer is not a religious recitation. It is to guide you into fulfilling this condition that affords the opportunity to experience the life of God even right now. The Bible says, for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever that includes you, who comes to him he will not perish, should not perish, but have life everlasting. Let me request for all of you who are standing, if you're standing or here in front, maybe at the back, or anywhere you're standing for the altar call, please lift your right hand as a sign of surrender to Jesus. Go ahead, lift your right hand. I need your right hand high above your head. God bless you. Pray this prayer up to me and make it as loud and as sincere as you can. Say Lord Jesus one more time, Say Lord Jesus. Tonight I have heard your word. I believe that you love me. I believe that you are the son of God. I believe that you died, you were buried, and you rose. Again for my justification. Right now I receive your life. I receive Jesus into my heart as my savior, my Lord and my King. Help that woman. I declare that the power of sin, Satan, hell. And the grave is broken over my life. From tonight I am a child of God. I go for whatever and backward never a man. Keep your hands lifted, and I pray for your Father. Thank you for these ones. The Bible declares that as many who will come to you, you will in no wise cast away. These precious ones have come. Declaring your lordship over their lives. I speak over you in the name of Jesus, based on the authority of Scripture. I declare your. Sins forgiving in the name of Jesus, and I call you bona fide recipients of the life of God. That from tonight you are declared righteous. You are called the righteousness of God in Christ. Jesus, I empower you with the grace to leave a victorious Christian life. And I declare that from tonight you go forwardever and backwardever a man, and a man and a man prays the name of the Lord. Just give me a minute and I'll give you an instruction. Now, okay, So. All of you who made this decision, I'm going to make a request, and please do cooperate with me and the counselors. There is a gift pack for every single one of you who has made this decision for Jesus, and I'd like you to follow the counselor someone directs me. Where are there to go my left?
