IDEAL RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD

Hallelujah. We trust a lot to grant us my age tonight, and we specially welcome everyone that is present on this ground. We believe that you will leave this place with an encounter tonight. In the name of Jesus, let us pray, Father, thank you for your grace, thank you for your mercy. We asked that you straightforth your hand and meet the needs of your people, specifically and especially the ministers or the gospel, that you will plant in our heads a most powerful seed, viable that will keep us in the race with focus. Without this instruction, in Jesus' mighty name, Amen, you may be seated. There's a scriptulic consultant yesterday that I would like to begin the journey with. So we do forty five fifty minutes of Bible study before we begin to pray. For Let's seek. Let's go back to the Book of James, chapter one, verse fourteen and fifteen. James, Chapter one, verse fourteen and fifteen. But every man is tempted when he's drawn in, drawn away in his own lost and entithed. Every man is tempted when he's drawn away in his own lost. So your lost has the capacity to draw you and All that Saturn needs to do to get your attention is to display his products before your face. He doesn't know which of his products will be attracted to you, so, but he has a catalog of products that he will begin to display until he finds the one that has a sense that is compatible with what you are lost in for So, what Saturn brings to the equation is enticement, but the lost is yours? Are you there? And lost has the capacity to make you close your And that's why it is written here drawn away? Are you with me now? My emphasis actually is in vese fifteen Because the moment the entire meets the lost, a conception takes place. And for every conception that someone is carrying, there is an allocated gestation period for the development of that conception. So the Bible says that when lost is conceived, so there are two things that need to be in place in order for lost to conceive are you there? The loss is yours, entisement belongs to the devil. And then when these two items find compatibility, a conception takes place, and the conception needs to go through a gestation period. The gestation period. For man is how long, what nine months? The gestation period for an LFI is how long. Huh? Two years? So the gestation period for what you are pregnant for. Is not the same. You know, the one you were pregnant for last year has a different gestation period from the one that you're pregnant for this year. Now, the reason why God allows it goes through a gestation period is because you will have the opportunity to conduct an abortion at any time you change your mind. But if Sein is full grown, if. What you were conceived off as found maturity, you will not have the capacity to resist it. In the evil day that Satan sets you up for the activity that will change your channel. So if Sein is able to take a hold of you, it means that you were desperately in corporation with the enemy to produce that fruit. And that's why it is you'll be judged for it because you have the opportunity to commit an abortion. You're not following me, so I've committed several abortions. The journey of a man that works in holiness, this is the true journey of a man that works in holiness. He begins his warfare the moment he notices notice is lost, even before the enticement comes. And in situations where he became careless and the conception actually took place, he knows he has a limited gestation period, so he goes and conducts an abortion. May not give you the courage because I've been praying since money, since money, and I found out people were carrying pregnancies all kinds. That's why I introduced this scripture in order for me to give the people that are pregnant an opportunity to commit an abortion before the end of this service. Are you staying with me? I am weeping. This is one I want to say now is out of a broken heart. A minister. That I know, very powerful, very anointed. But strange things happen. And the way the strange things happened, he now, so one thing led to another thing. A confession was was made to the strange thing. Alan Louia, have you ever seen a situation where church members gathered and the reason why they are gathering in the service is not to listen to the word of God. They want to they want the choice to close down. That's the reason why they're gothered. And the reason for this agitation was because someone did not manage conception issues properly. There is an honor that Jesus places on a minister of the gospel if he wants him to do labor for him. This honor should be preserved, It should be protected. This honor is what makes peore listening to us, even if our donations are not correct. Because of that honor, people will overlook it and say, God, God called it. May the Lord give you wisdom to protect that honor. That's the reason why somebody will leave home and convert is CD to us dollars had the end CD and give to you because there is an honor that God places open me. So what happened to that minister of the gospel is that God withdrew that honor. And the moment that happened the same people that used to bring him money and the same people agitating for the ministry to be shut down. God made the Lord forbidding the name of Jesus. But this matters. Normally results when we become careless with pregnancies, and there are many people in our miss that are pregnant right now today is we're in an abortion clinic this night. In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray will have that opportunity to really partake in abortions. Okay, let's push forward. Let's push forward. This is a side comment. This one is a side comment that will justify our abortion adventure. That's why I had to call this scripture. You know, the Bible says that Jesus was tempted at all points. And I said yesterday that temptation is measured in points. So there are two things that I need to bring to our attention this evening. The first thing is what we call the points of temptation. And then the second thing, because we are studying Jesus's temptation, the second thing we're going to raise is what I call the principles behind Jesus's temptations. So points and principles. The temptations of Jesus actually bordered upon three principles. They were bordered upon three principles. So if Satan wants to cheat you out of destiny, he makes these three points, these three principles hazy. So before we go to the principles, that's where the debt is. Let's check the points. First of all, we might need to consult the Book of First John, chapter two, verse fifteen to seventeen. In first John, Chapter two, verse fifteen to seventeen. The Bible says, love not the world. Now most of us sitting here, our ministers of the Gospel or quite established in the Christian faith. What is the meaning of the world that the Bible says we should not love? Are you here. Now? You know? For me not to stretch on us what I would have loved us to interact at this point to ascertain if we understand what the world is, because. The Bible reveals that if. Any man loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. And I need to show you the consequence. You notice the church at Fesos had lost their first love and I was their only crime, and Jesus threatened that he will speel them out of his mouth. The reason is because they service to the Kingdom of God requires perpetual sacrifice. The Kingdom of God will advance to the degree to which we are willing to sacrifice for that kingdom, and the moment we are not willing to sacrifice for the Kingdom of God, the Kingdom of God stops advancing. Sacrifice is not something that the flesh is compatible with. So there's something stronger than the flesh that God makes available to us, that makes us at home with sacrifice. And that's so at any point in time where the love question begins to diminish, our works are no longer accepted, because if we take love out of the question, the reason why you're doing anything in the Kingdom of God is human. Maybe you are doing it to get a title, You're doing it to get a position, You're doing it to become the leader. And those are mundane, corrupted reasons that do not strike a cord in vitality. So your state of. Affection of the Lord is what keeps you accurate in your work with him. I don't have time to build this matter and to show you the kind of things that happen when there's a. Decline in our love for God. I don't have time to show you from scripture the things that the devil will do to fight your affection for God. And these are desperate matters and serious issues. What is. The world? We are pressed for time, so I cannot show you where it started, but it started from the book of Genesis, chapter four. The world is the only creation of Sata. You known. God created us, created Takuradi created this territory. Sata created the world, and I, just like I said, I don't have time to show us. Okay, maybe let's let's do it. Let's do it. That means I. Will add fifteen more minutes to my preaching. Okay, come with me, let's go to the Book of Genesis. I need to show you the origin of this matter. And then I also need to show you why it was John that received the alarm to warn the Body of Christ about the world. Because if we notice that Paul spoke about the world four times and John spoke about the world twelve times. So the authority that has insight on this matter is John. Okay, So the man, the technical man that is doing perfectly well, can you just take me to the Book of Genesis. Of the fourth verse sixteen, I'd like to show you a foundation love, not the world, not the things of the world. The Bible says. All right, all right, the Bible says, and Cain. Went out from the presence of the Lord and dwelt in the land of Nod on the east of Eiden. If you understand. The design for man, and very soon I'm going to show you the need for us to study the Book of the autonomy. If you understand the design for man, the way man was designed in the image and the likeness of God. Man was supposed to be a miniature expression of God, a miniature expression of God. So he was designed in God's image, designed in God's likeness. The measurement for man is not man, and that's why you cannot measure your level of compliance in terms of your ordination. It is God that will give you your score card, because it was in his image you were created. It was in his likeness you were created. You were not created to behave like man, you were created to behave like him. In fact, according to scriptures, the definition of living for man is existing in vital connection with God. You do so, we were supposed to live connected to God, live in God's presence, live copying God's examples. You know, the Bible says, be imitators of God. Well, we're supposed to God is the specimen that we study and reflect. That's the meaning of human life. So Kin came to a point of how would I call it irritation? He was irritated by the government of God and decided that he wants to set up an existence that was apart from God, and Ken was the first man that came to this conclusion. Are you following me? Okay, now that you're following me, and then I can tell you the origin of this The origin of this situation is that Saturn attempted to invade heaven to establish a kingdom in the ted heavens. Then he was displaced from the ted heavens. The vision he wanted to implement in the ted heavens. He now found a man upon the face of the earth that was willing to partner with him to establish it on the hearth. And that man's name is King. So the first apostle of Satan that was secured among men to implement the policy directions that will come from the heart of the devil is the man called King. How did Kin begin this implementation? He began by departing from the presence of God. That means I don't want to live under the laws of God. I don't live I don't want to live on that the government of God. I don't want to be influenced by God. I want to be at liberty. I want to be delivered from God. And the city that he went to established because he left the presence of the Lord and went to the land of Nord. Nord is the name of the city that he went to establish. It was east of Either And I don't have time to explain why east, because there was north south west. He designed to go east. By the time we built the case of east, you would discover by the time we arrived at Genesis up to ten Genesis at eleven, as men journeyed east, that's when they came up with the vision to establish in the city of China a city and a tower. Who stop, who reached the heavens? I don't want to go into that. But it was east that it traveled. Where was where do? Where does the sun rise from? Okay, that's what the Bible calls the womb of the morning, where the morning gives bad to the sun every morning. So I will not tell you the meaning of that because we're not talking about Leave that matter. Come back to him to this. So you, like the prayers of the Law, decided to establish a city called Nod. It was east of Eden, and then he dweld there. Now, notice this new civilization that is about to spring Ford is a civilization that is going to exist a path from God. Are you there just hold that in your mind. Next verse, and can you his wife, and she conceived and bear Enoch. And he builded a city and called the name of the city after the name of his son Enoch. So this is the city I'm talking about, the civilization of this city, the concept, the policy of this city. It is established on the concept apart from God. So God's laws will not exist here. God's ways will not exist here. God's principles who not exist here. Meanwhile, man was created to be a creature that cannot survive a part from God. The spirit of being a part from God is what the Bible caused death. That does not mean the cenisation of life. That means existing apart from God. Because we were designed to function in connection with God. So a mutation was about to take place in the human race. And this mutation was something that was contrary to the blueprint for man. And the pioneer of this civilization, the man called, okay, did you get it? Okay, let me show you some symptoms. Move next verse onto Enock was born. I read. And I rode. We got Mahojah L and Mahja L. We got made Thusa L and made Thusia L. Be goot, can we count the generations start from kain King? You're not following me in this matter. This is an investigation. See, when we investigate, there a few matters that we bring into view. One of the matters is territory. Another matter is genealogy. So this is the family tree investigation because if we are if we're going to establish a pattern, then we need to check across at least seven generations. If you count from a knock and count to Lamec, that's how many generations? About six generations? So let us we have. Arrived at Lamec, haven't traveled the ladder of six generations? Please please return it to your mind that this civilization that was built was built apart from what Okay, so let's find out about this man. Next verse, leg took on to him two wives. So the pioneer or polyolygamy was lag Now, oh, you're not fully Do you realize that when they left the presence of God to establish a new civilization it took six generations before they could pioneer polygamy. So the effect of the government of God on their ancestors was still strong even though he had left God. It was still strong. They did not just go are wire. It took some convincing to do across the generations. So begin to see the full implementation of the idea that set and had in mind. One of the ideas he had in mind was many women in the man's life. It took six generations to bring that out. The name of the first wife. Was adder and other means adornment, that which is made beautiful so that they can be attractive. Are you with me? So when we are talking about lost, the reason why I lost is possible is because of urder. Certain can make something beautiful so that it's attractive to your soul. And this matter of urder that I'm talking about doesn't need to be a person. It can be a movie the world. You know, we are trying to investigate a civilization that is godless. In that civilization, you are going to see a heightened and intensified. Focus on pleasure to women. The second thing I'm going to notice in that civilization is attractions. Attractions that can keep you perpetually distracted from the promptings and the conviction of the Holygos. I'm trying to tell us it is this city, this civilization that in the New Testament John now called the world. You get it, and since you since you got it, let me leave it and then take you back to my scripture for the evening. You already got it. Yeah. Now, if we build from here and keep on reading, you're going to see branches of decivilization that began to shoot out. Took six generations to establish phornography and make it normal. After Lamex's effort, it became customary for people to have multiple women. Do you understand that? So it means one of the ideas of Satan has been fully implemented. It took a lot of convincing to bring them to that level. So when when next someone tells you that in our culture as African people were polygamies were. No, it did not start that way. It was the vision of king that became our culture. So that thing came pioneer entered into a chanty culture. That's what I'm saying. Alle layah yah. All right, So we got the point. This is where it all began, and by the time we get to the New Testament, it became a mighty system. It's just like the Book of Judges. Many of your studied it in the Book of Judges, you will see God. Can you readase the volume? Okay, good? In the Book of Judges, you would notice something there. The ancestors of Israel had gone to build the law. The great warrior Joshua had slept. An error came when there was no established system of government. An era came when there was no government. That's the kind of error that Cain created. No government, no influence, no dictator. Let's be free. That's a kind of arrangement that now found expression. If you study that book, you will find out ten times in that book you will see Israel migrating away from God. And I'm wondering, in none of the times is the direction of migration opposite? You're not You're not here. That were there were not loving God more. They were always going like this, and then God would raise a George. In fact, when they got this way, then they went to captivity, all kinds of captivity. Captivity so that they can lend what happens when you decide to establish this kind of government? Are you there? So God now raises there? You raise the leader, the leader come and begin to call them back to go. You will not show message and empower this leader, and they will fight and bring deliverance to the people of Israel and the moment they're settled into peace again. Now, so the question is why are they always going that way? Is because of the system. There is no government. That's how the world system is. You might claim that it is education you want. You want to become a civil engineer, and you got admission in the University of Ghana. That's what you claim that you want. But when you enter into that space, you will find out that there are many things in that space and the natural direction that the system is designed to take you is away from God. Meanwhiles's education that you say you are look looking for. In the process, you lose your virginity. In the process, you might even join a court, become a wizard. All of that. Oh my God, start flying in the night. Your spirit will project to voter voter region. Meanwhile, it was education you say we're going to look for, but chalked into the systems of this world is the principle of the world system, which is the vision of the founding Father to make everything depart from God. Exactly good, you got it, So I don't need to waste more time than in First John Chapter two, verse fifteen. I need to ask us a few questions, especially ministers of the Gospel, because I realized recently that it seems, okay, it may seem that my message is for ministers. Maybe it may seem God, you were going to theological school so that you could get a geological degree, that's what you said. But from that geological college you now learned how not to be fitful to Jesus, the strategies that you need to put in place in the practice of ministry. That will guarantee that your support is paramount. You thought it was a. Geological degree you were looking for, but on the path to obtaining this degree, you also also embraced the thing about the word system is that not it goes to a school to learn it, because it is infused into human experience. It's the same geological. School that a certain person that was not a Christian went to got a theological degree but wasn't born again, is not a Christian and was teaching the arch in school. But the person is a Muslim. You might just realize that there may be nothing in a geological school that can say this, So you might when you're outside you think there's hope there And I'm not saying don't go get the education because I have it. I'm just trying to tell you that it's only in Jesus that there is a vation may not give you understanding. So it says love not the world. Nothing that came pioneered, neither the things of the world. So there are two things, the system and the things. If anyone loved the world, the love of the Father is not in him. Next verse verse fifteen, which is my emphasis, for all the things that in the world, then it gives us a list of three items. This list of three items is what forms the points al temptations, the points of temptations. The first thing there on that list is what the loss that comes through the flesh, the lost that comes through the eyes, and the pride of life. I we need to define what self is and what flesh is. We need a good definition of that before we make some progress, because if we don't have this fundamental knowledge, it will be difficult for us to understand the discussion that Set and Jesus had. It's high level discussion that has a premise, has a foundation, and we need to understand the premise, and we need to understand the foundation if you're still with me, say a man, all right? So these are the points lost of the flesh, the point. The Bible said Jesus was tempted at all points. So these are the points points are the things of the world, what the world is contained with Ah, it's things, and what I thinks lost of the flesh, lost of the eyes in pride of life? Are you there now? So we need to understand. The definition of flesh, because you see Paul saying making reference to flesh, flesh, flesh, flesh throughout his delivering the Book of Romance and subsequently and so we have too match as there. The flesh is the system that Satan puts in place that is perpetually opposed to the Holy Spirit. Satan is saying, I could not stop you from giving your life to Christ, but I stop you from knowing the Holy Spirit. And in implementing this policy, what is put in place to ensure that you are resisted from knowing the Holy Spirit is a flesh. So the purpose of the flesh is to ensure that the reign of the Spirit in your life is cultural. And it's one of the infrastructure that Satan has in place because unfortunately human can faire. So our desires, natural desires and instincts have a. Touch of this fall. So we can use these desires and instinct to manipulate us and to cause us not to yield to the desires that are in the spirit of God. So the infrastructure set and putting place to ensure that way we never become slaves to the Holy Ghost, which is God's intentions. Flesh, you will not know how educated your flesh is. There are people that can insult without talking. When they don't do their eyes like this, a full insult has been adminisiled without that. Oh my God, flesh, if you take me to a sojob and they operate my stomach, they will not found pounded them there because I did not eat it. Mhm. Is that true? Have you realized that you are capable Some circumstances and situations can trigger and anger that you yourself are not aware that is inside. You never hit the. Anger, but that anger can come out. Flesh. And the attendance is you have under the influence of anger that you do not have as a normal man. It means that when you enter into that entropy of anger, Satan can hack into your soul and cause you to do things under the influence of that. Satan may not find that compatibility with you until you enter into that energy level. Then he ams you with tools to become most violent. And you would think that that is you. No, you incline to the flesh. You say, the flesh is a platform for Satan, just like your spirit is a platform for God. Are you staying with me? Did reget good? So that is flesh and I don't want to leave you with a definition so that you relate with it. Cerebray, No, this matter is not cerebral. This matter is organic. Then we have self. Self is a God, is a God that wants to be raised. That will this allow you the opportunity of finding the lordship of Jesus. Whereas flesh is against the spirit, self is against the lordship. So when we talk about the pride of life, it's a God is a replacement for the lordship of Jesus. And according to the writings of Paul, we have an equation that like you to keep close to your heart as we study the question, is this flesh plus seero equals the old man? Write it down or you did not hear that? Please help me preach your neighbor. Let it enter flesh plots seer equals the old man. That's the question I'd like you to hold it because it is possible for us to claim to be doing ministry, but the organ that is driving that ministry is flesh. You're on the pook pitch, but you still belong to the civilization of kin. I watched on social media a pentaur. I watch a video that church in Ghana. I think it pasted or retired, so they posted another pastor to come and take gog. Meanwhile, they were pastors in house in that branch that were supporting the senior pastor before he retired. So the congression felt and meanwhile, I don't know the circumstances under which this pastor from another parish was posted. You know, so there was a riot on Sunday. Morney that we need to carefully ask ourselves if ministry was really going on in that location, because what they call ministry there is powered by flesh, so they're on the pulpit, but the civilization that is running there is the world. Because the utensive rules of the world, I find the applications. In that line of delivery. That's the Jesus are you here. Now because you didn't rest one way I would have shown you. They are part of the barometer to measure your compliance. But when I say, you say, I know this are these are very sensitive matters that people will rather like a person not to talk about. But this is the heart of our faith, all right? Did you get the question? Flash plus self equals. The only use for the old man? According to a possible his crucifixion, he cannot be modified, he cannot be approximated. He has been judged completely. And the answer that God has to all the symptoms of the old. Man is the cross. You will find a very challenging strategy in the writings of Paul. He calls it bearing the cross. The same way Jesus bought his own cross. Every believer will have to if you are genuinee, you will bear yours, not the one Jesus bob your own. That one is designed with your weight in view, with design with your lost in view, designed with your experience in view. It is your own. I supposed to carry it. So what does it mean to beard the cross? You will always find the symptoms of the flesh seeking to resurrect, and the moment you find the symptoms or the flesh seeking to resurrect, you throw it to the cross. That means you deny it expression, you crucify it. It is giving you a prompting that he wants to show up, just like if I walk to you and slap you. Now, the flesh will give you a calculation that the number of people that saw you humilated is one than two hundred. And the way to respond to restore your masculinity. It will give a left hand drive and you support it with the right leg. The flesh is a good teacher. And when the flesh begins to speak, if you're not, if you don't know the voice of God, you would think it is you talking. He knows your language, knows your dialect. It normally it speaks as though it is protecting you, your image, your dignity. But when you notice that voice, you're supposed to cast it to the cross. That means you shut down its possibility of expression. And if you're going to do that, many people around your environment, around your office will call you a fool. A true Christian cannot escape being called a fool in society. But what you are doing is that you are shutting down. It takes courage to shut down lost. What normal people do is that they follow the tangent of lost. It takes courage to shut it down. And God puts it before your face every single day so that your compliance to Jesus, your love for Jesus, can be tested on Monday, on Tuesday, on Wednesday, on Thursday, Friday. Then it complicates your matter when it now gives you a wife to marry. The whole idea of marriage is a set up to ensure to give you that. Marriage is the barometer I was talking about. You're not You're an awful here that will help you check how much advancement you have made in bridling the flesh. Yes, yes, yes. You know what to do. You know that what you need to do now is to apologize. While you'll take you fourteen days that's as strong flesh and you can look by us antimonials and sacramento, but you are see deep in flesh. That means you have. Multiple entervis as today today city that Kane has built. I know you don't, don't. You're not like me saying he has come again with this. I'm just doing Bible study. Are you there? What you need to do to work against the flesh is to apologize, but it takes you. That's how strong the flesh is. And you keep working against it until he loses his dominion in your own life. That's when you can be called a spiritual man. You know what it means to crucify the old man. Anytime he speaks, anytime he reasons, anytime he suggests, you crucify him. That's the way of a spiritual man. It means you're part of a new city. You're not part of Kane's city. You're part of the new day Rousalem. You know it was Jesus that said you had the lights of the world. I know you remember that, but most of us don't remember that. Jesus also said you are a city, a civilization that is set upon a here. I cannot be here. That's the city what's talking about. It has not bearing in the creations of king. It has its bearing from from above. Only only this God can interpretis dimensions. That's what you are becoming now. You see they promised that will be a new creation. Are you with me? It's not. It's a process, not the result of your faith. You are becoming that new creation because there are still elements of the old man that still have authority in your space. Okay, you don't like that, And I I know when when you're troubled. So I spoke about the points of temptation, lost of the flesh. So let's count these points in Adam Genesis chapter three. Genesis three six. And when the woman saw that the tree was good for saw, that's loss of the eyes. If you're sitting close to a man that is matured, not a boy, a man, ask him what did you see? I see, m h bro it's saw no time to take inventory of powerful men. And then you would discover that their downfall was thrace twos. So now the Bible says there was a time where kings went to war. The greatest king on it. He was on the roof top of his house. They must be vaccine that we need to take to help side. And in my own work with God, I came up with a formula. There's a type of fasting that can break the authority they pack. You know, when you are in that situation where you are no longer in control of your eyes. Have you been there? The thing moves like that, it means you have conceived something. The reason why the eyes are on their own, it's because of conception. The pregnancy is weighing down on the organs. When my wife was pregnant for our boy Joshua, the tumach was so big that even the doctors said, are you carrying to its? That's when we sleep and wake up, And discovered that she did not sleep because the pregnancy. There are times when the pregnancy can control your eyes. That's what I'm saying. It's just you close it, but is it? So? There's a vaccine I want to recommend for eye issues. Ali Lewis lost of the eyes. She saw the tree was good for food and it was pleasant to the eyes. She saw that it was good for food as loss of the flesh, pleasant to the eyes. Lost of the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise pride, pride of life, the points of temptation. In fact, before God can promote you in your spiritual journey. This number three the pride of life. Because a man that has not let go this number three, anything you put on him, you'll squander it on that pride. Put an anointment on him, you come and you call himself major pro so he makes himself so visible that we cannot even see Jesus again. The reason is because there's a fundamental problem he pride. Pride will cause every resource that God puts on a man to be squanned at achieving another objective. So a man that is proud cannot save gole, and they cannot. Big letters cannot save gole. You think you are doing ministry if Jesus, if takes some time to be studying the Bible, then you will see what God can reward. They cannot label, you can reward. So these are the points of temptations. Hmm. If you're wise, like I'm trying to be, I'm not very wise yet, I'm trying to be wise. If you are wise, you have a check on what your eyes lost after. If you're wise, if you're wise, you have a check on pride. A proud man cannot operate under any leader. He is the God, the real God. He's faulty in the eyes of God because he's worthless. He cannot be put to any task that God works except but he doesn't know. The Pride of life makes a man blind and puts him at a point where he cannot be corrected. You cannot correct a proud man. He's only good for destruction. So you set him up and keep hearing him. You are you are king, You are happy him to die. Set him up. Rank the day. It makes him foolish, It makes him sell his destiny for a corporate portage, makes him unusable. It's like tones. When you go to the farmer and you find plants that have tones, you skillfully because they'll cause injuries. That's how I private mone is before God can begin to commit real substance into your hands. I know you know, I know you know. Have you seen brothers that looked pious antimonials before they got into elected governmental offices? They were elected as most of them almost end up becoming like wizards before they finish. I don't want to go there. Are you with me? All right? So if we go back to just we are going to see the same points. You will see lots of the flesh. He was hungry because he was fasting, and sat and said, attend to your flesh, aid pride of life. He took him to the pinnacle of the temple and said he will give a sendruge chat over you. Are you there? Then he showed him the glory of this war just at the points. So it means that there are three organs that are very powerful for a motor eyes, hurt, pride, and desire. If we have time, I will show you what desire has done to people. So just one desire. So I want to be king. That's why so many people died. That's one desire. Meanwhile, those people would have lived if he was able to chef that desire. Meanwhile, they were not. They were not. They were serious. They meant it. Are you there now? They meant it because as we were climbing in the spirit. Respectable of the consequences. So it's not trying. When I look back, those people are stay alive. But right now they are not trying to die for Jesus, that's not their agenda. What makes a man. Suddenly experience a change of channel that he himself is not aware. There are four areas of your life that if you take your eyes from, you'll become demon without knowing. Come with me, let us study the Bible. I told you that the temptations were along the lines of three principles. So let us start with number one. I will do number one this evening. You study number two and number three. The first principle, So I will mention them so that you know them and it will enhance your own study. The first principle is the principle of living. The temptation was built around the principle of living. We need to know your principle of living. What is the principle behind your every day existence. The second principle is the principle of believing, because if you believe wrong, you will live wrong. And the third principle is the principle of worship. So let's start number one. Like I said I would do. Just number one, go to the scripture I opened the other day which we could not touch yesterday. Matt Matthew chapter four, beginning from this number one. Who is in charge of this screen the tennis showing? Is it top screen? So if it's not top screen, look at the television or the screen that holds this and click or know there's blocking my scripture. The functionary in charge of this understand what I'm talking about. So okay, all right, let's go. Matthew Chapter four. If you stay with me, say a man, know what was Jesus led up of the spirit into the wilderness of a tempted of the devil? And when he had first said forty days and forty nights, it was afterward and hunger. And when the tempter came to him, he said, if that would be the soul of God, command that these dones be made bread. But the answer that said it is written, man shall not leave by bread alone, but by every. Word that proceeds out of the mount of God. You'll find out in this Temptations series, and all the answers that Jesus gave to Satain was from the book of the Tronomy. And that's why I'm challenging you to go and read it. But I will not tell you why. I'll not tell you why all the answers were from the Tronomy. Fewteens to not, few things to not before I go into the matter few times or not. The first thing to notice that Saturn began by challenging Jesus's identity. If you are the son of God, I would lot like to draw attention to the fact that this his designation as the Son of God, was a revelation that came from his father during baptism. It was an appraiser that came from heaven about the status of his life. It was a revelation of his compliance to standards, and what his father was saying was that when we conceived, until Jesus should up, the father was saying, this is my idea of a man. What is it with me now? It was that idea. Entity that Satan came to challenge. Most of us sitting here do not even know your identity from heaven, but most of the warface. The temptations, the trials that you are going to have in life is drawn from Satan attempting to challenge your identity. There is a stage you will reach in the administration and the purposes of God that Satan will know your identity. And that was why he was telling the seven Sons of Skiver that Jesus we know, Paul, we know, but in all of our data banks there is no record of you. First question we need to ask is who are you? If you can't answer that question, then you cannot. You don't understand the science behind your wars, your warface, You don't understand the mystery behind You're coming from the family that you come from. You don't understand why you are fifth bone while you are second bone. For you, it was just an occorrence, but from the studio where you were created. It's a strategy if you are the son of God, because Satan is hoping that you are not sure. He's hoping that you don't know. He's hoping that you are forgotten. But if by any means you are the son of God where I come from in the older world, we have no acknowledgment of this, your startu We have no acknowledgement of this, your designation. I was trolling the other day and I help people say, well, we don't know this type. But if you are, there's one way to prove it. It's true that there is an office that you have been given. There's a status that you occupy. There's normally power reserved for you to upbrad that office. The proof that you are in that office is that you have receipdual authority that you can you use to manage the office. Can you make demands on that office. It's obvious you have in need. You've been staying without food for a long time. This is legitimate squander some of the authority in that office to turn these tone into bret. There are many matters involved in this stock many matters. First matter involved in this talk is that Saturn was tempting Jesus to act apart from his father. That's the first matter, and that's why the emphasis was on his tactus. The emphasis was on his rank, not about the system that he represents, but his tactus, his rank, his capacity, his ability. That was the emphasis. HM. If we ask can it be Dune? Without asking should it be Dune, We're all ready for it. The fact that you have ability does soon conscript you for engagement. In fact, in fact, as you grow in the ladder, one of those days, God will release serious and annoying you on your life and say, don't pray for the sake and don't leave us. What he wants to see is if you can be in order with power? Yeah? Can you still be in order? Because most of us are likely to ask that if God didn't want us to use it, why did he release. Hmm. If you answer that, I cannot question that you are you are. You are becoming guilty of one thing, to exercise yourself apart from God. And when you exercise yourself apart from God, he will back you up just like are you here? Have you ever had this statement before? You cannot argue with proofs you've heard it before. Have you read about Moses when God told him to speak to the rock and he struck the rock? Was there water? There was water, There was proof, but he was in this obedience. So I came to tell you that you can argue with the proof. You can generate proof with the obedience. If Jesus said you should not lay hands, and you lay hands, things will happen. You'll be a proof. The only problem with that arrangement is that you will be disqualified. M the hands you laid and the prayers you made contrary to instructions you made the prayers in the name of Jesus. He will respond to his name, but the man praying will be disqualified. Now you know, are you there? We have left that realm of major in things by proofs, because the greatest miracles that will be done will be done when the Antichrist comes. He will be chieftain of science. And wonders, economic situations and war situations, security situations in the world that have lasted for an eternity. He will show up and he will bring peace in the Middle East. Hmm. If you're looking for proof, the best of proofs you will see in his reign. Second matter that that discussion carried, are there. If the be the son of God turn these toes to preak Saturn was provoking him to prove that he was a son of God. Now I know, Okay, it's West Africa and examination cancer. So you know why, k. If somebody comes and says, if. It's true you wrote to solve this mathematical song, meanwhy y has issued you the certificates. You don't need to solve this song. You're knowder for you to prove it, you already have certificates. Hm. So Jesus doesn't need to do anything for him to prove to anybody that is the son of God. That means his. Ego, his pride was not going to be the reason why he will act. He was being challenged along the lines of the principles behind his living. What is it that that can't motivate you to that? Say? Man, according to the Journamy shall not leave by Brady alone. So the first temptation is brought that on the principle of living. So we need to ask some questions, how are you leaving? Because there was a prescription for man, Oh my God, you know Jesus was there when the idea of man was conceived in the Book of Genesis, chapter one, verse twenty, when the Bible says, let us make man. So the making of man, not the creating of man, but the making. Of man was an act of God. The Father did this part, the Son did this part, and the spirit of God was supposed to do this, but before the project was hijacked. Redemption was an act of God. The Father that did this part for God, soul of the world that he gave his only begot his song. The God we're talking about, it is the father that has a son. Are you He gave his son. From the father's perspective, he was an investment of love that costed him his son. From Jesus' perspective, he came to die so that he can fulfill the claims of divine justice. After the legal premise of man survasion is satisfied and the spirit of God comes to become the essence of his salvation. Because when Jesus was trying to define to us what it meant, or to explain to us what it meant to be born again. In the Book of John, chapter three, vest three is a very very lesson except a man be born again. They cannot see the kingdom or goal. And what it meant by that is that the spirit of God coming into your heart becomes the basis upon which your spiritual senses are activated, so that you can perceive what is in God's realm, God's network. So the three members of the god Head were part of redemption, they were part of creation, and they were part of the making of man. Exactly, if there's anybody that has a knowledge of how man should be, what man should be, who man should be, it was Jesus, And in a few places in scripture he gave us insight into the blueprint for man. This is one of them. Man shall not leave by bread alow, how shall what's the principle behind his living? Oh? You know with me the proceeding word of God. What Jesus was telling certain was this, What would make me act is the proceeding water goes my pride. Do not make me ask my need. Do not make me ask the fact that my flesh is crying for hunger. It's not enough reason for me to ask. The man that was designed to work, they d he was only designed to respond to what the proceeding water. If you got that. Then I need to ask you a few questions. I need to ask you a few questions. If if all of us in this room and Christians, which I believe we are, and you don't have a diary, why you write the things that God told you. There's no documentation of the proceeding word of God for your life. From God's perspective, you have not been living. They have not believing you know. Like I said, the message that gave me to preach his heart, I've realized it. It's hard, but anybody that hears it will be delivered. I'm sure that. People hate me because of the messages that I preach, because if somebody decides to be thick, anytime he hears. Me, it's like a sentence, so he will fight. I know that someone that is fake. We're not like me, and I'm not saying it boastfully. This is the rule the Lord has me. Apart from this role, I don't have any other work, so I will remain where I am with these problems. The problems are also part of the work. Managing the problems that accompany this work is part of the work. Listen to me, man shall not leave by brad alone. He will live by every word that proceeds out of the amount of If you know anything about the military, and his senior officer gives you a command, do this. He doesn't even need to explain because you're not supposed to survive by his explanations. Just this instruction. That's how man was created. To our print. You are totally immobilized until there said seeing word of God. So you don't take a job because you have an opportunity. Maybe there are three jobs. You don't take a job because one pays more and it will put you in the heart of our craft so that you can access the amenities. What is the principle behind your leaving? What made you accept the job you are doing? You left the old one to accept this one. There was no consideration whether the purpose of God were hanging on it. It was because of the benefits, was because of the pay. It was because of the you know you stop leaving man. He said, shall not leave by bread alone. I know you have forgotten that call that God gave you. That you cast away and then you enter into cecular life. It was God's way for you never to have any secular experience. You cast it away and because it seems you're doing financially well, and you're capable of paying tight, and you're doing your pastor a favor. You believe that is a replacement for the procifty world. It is. When you come from this life and you are exposed to the Kingdom of God in the naked way, you will find out that there's no sobtitude for obedience. God is not a prime minister. It's not by election that he rules. No, he said, monarch, he's a king. At the end of the day, he will ask was my will carried out? Man shall not leave by bread alone. He will live like the city. World. Oh God, if I came with my daary, I would have shown you the they. God encountered me on the twenty fifth of July two thousand and five, and he told me raise a remnant for me in this generation. In August, we began implementing that plan. We didn't have details, are you there, But we were implementing blindly. Thank God, we had they had to implement. We were beating about the bush for one year, trying to fulfill God's will in a butcher. We started in a bucher. It was after one year and I said this thing I asked you to do is not in Abuja at least. At least I was trying to fulfill something. That was when he told me that it's this thing you to start from from our coding. Then they wanted to do posting in our office to places where they were the posts. I say, if it's you that spoke to me, let my posting come out in the city. You're sending people will love being ladies were ah taking senior officers out so that they're posting will come in good places. I was sitting and my name appeared where God sent me. When I got to that city, I took one year to pray and first because of the previous mistake that I made, is it time for us to start holding meetings? For one year, firsting and praying, I got to work as hobby. My derial job I was doing was that assignment that broke me day, because man, he shall not leave by bread alone, but by ere board that proceeds out of the mantle. It was on. We started the first in March two thousand and seven. In January, I wanted to hold a meeting. He said I had one hundred days to the first. That's what took us to May to match. So the first meeting we held was in March, and from that day to today it is what we're here, that we did what we're here. Many now ministers that come to me and say, the way you are doing ministry, you'll be poor. This is not how they do ministry. You are going to be poor. Are you there? For a long time people were not given our frae because we wanted to make a point that we're not here for money. So you come to save ministry. Go, if you want to come tomorrow, you can come as a young man. You are going to people. So the job I was doing, I was using it to fund the ministry. Don't worry, dowt what we'll pay for the bills. What we are doing is to create a service, a service where the counsel of God can go farth on, breedoo naked raw, so that if you intend to follow God, you will not find how to follow you if you are if you are entertained by what I'm doing, becoming for entertainment, Jesus said he wants a platform that we speak like this will make it happen. It was eighty years after the ministers started and people started giving Think about it, you will know that the people do in that ministry. The only thing that we're looking for was the voice of God. I didn't know that somebody could walk up to a preacher and give him a car because I was not looking for it. By some people give me cause. And when they gave me cause, I knew what God was saying, was saying, Now your ministry will require traveling. A car for me is not a car too symbol. I was doing very well before I had one, very well, and my wife loved me. In her eyes. I'm always a champion. Yeah, I don't need to win a battle to be a champion. After a while, the Lord began to invest, Greece began to invest grist. Ministers in our city have insulted those for many years that they were waiting for us to start for nicketing as young minister has nor money do when they' start ministry. They've waited till today. That's not happening. Meanwhile, I started a ministry as a single and in our congression there were many more ladies than there were guys. There was none of them that I've related, no one. You must have heard my cry that if there's any woman that I touched, even before I gave my life to Christ, or after, or in ministry, you cry out anyway and put me to shame, because there's so much feels in what we call ministry today, and we are forgotten who we are serving, the God that wells in the life that no man can approach. And the Bible says that light is that which makes manifests. So if you stand before God, if it is true, and your heart opens even half and the light of God shines upon it, if there's darkness there, you will know because he will reveal it. He would reveal it and say deal with it, don't hide it. If you'll be able to hide darkness, you've been able to hide it for five years, it means you left the courts of God. Long time they go. Man shall not leave by bread. Hello. So humankind was designed to be propelled by the proceeding word of God. God comes and activates you and said, behold your husband. That's the reason why you say, yes, are you there? A person may not meet talk with your specifications. I was looking at my picture when I proposed to my wife. No woman should accept such a man Jesus Saco blato cad ah. My stomach was flat from first. I was like an HIV victim, but my spirit was anointed. It was not only me that fat. A woman should not follow me. I don't want to tell your stories the challenges that we went through. This was the lady version. It means that that doesn't mean we will not have trouble, but it means that when we have trouble, God will come. God will he author, So he has a stick. He's a stick all that he will calm and sort it out. He will comme and help. How do you leave? Where's the instruction that on the gods? What you are doing with your life today? Where's the instruction? Don't get it wrong. It's a kingdom we belong to, and the voice of the king is what determines the difference between life and death. I said, I only do number one so you can rise on your fice. H What did I tell you? What was the error and you were sent to accomplish? What was the message she was sent to deliver? What was the assignment that was giving on to you? Ma'am shall not leave by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. If you are here tonight and you have not given your life to Christ, and when you were listening to the voice of the preacher, you always began to convict your heart, began to convict your heart, and you want to respond to Jesus as the Lord. I submit, I surrender save my soul. I've been looking around church, but I've not surrender to you. Once upon a time I was full of fire, but I know I have left your presence like Cain. I have back sleep and I want to be restored. If that is what you're saying, your right hand on your chest and your left hand up. Right hand on your chests, left hand up. Do not allow Satan win the argument over your soul. Light hand on your chest, left hand up. If your left hand is up, leave your seat. Come to the preacher here so that I can help you. Prepare your heart to address Jesus. If your hand is up, come to the preacher, but the whole pity come to the preacher inside outside. These are strange times, were dwelling strange times. If you're standing before the preacher, can you begin to ad dress Jesus and ask him for messy? Ask him for messy, ask him to forgive, ask him to blot out rebellion. Seeing in your life. Talk to Jesus, address Jesus. Please allow them to walk to the poopit. It's a solemn moment. We're coming to register with Jesus. Were registered with Jesus. Have mercy. Don't speak in tongues. Confess that scene in your life. Confess it, that scene you have heard, onto the filth that you have heard, un confess it. Mentioning to him, Tell. Him the two amotionals I committed. Help me he bless. Don't cover it with tongues. Mention the rebellion. Mention it before him. Don't be a safe. If you open up, he will shed light, he says. Away, go down that slippers and allies from the dead, and Christ will give you light. He will shed light, He will shed light. Ask him for messing. You've lingered in compromise, lingered in self deception. But today you can welcome him. I said, just look look on me, Look on me. I am heirless and without strength. Before you. I repent, repent before him. He he. Talk to him. Don't allow yourself to be distructed. Say for a moment, roll. The scene the worse. Look upon them with favor, with mercy. Lord, their cry to you, receive their cry, and put their way every sin. Receive them to yourself. Receive them to yourself. Receive them to yourself. Receive them to yourself, Oh God, thank your Father and Jesus name. Go back to your city.
