That this atmosphere be saturated and fresh with your presence, with your power, and that the spirit of the Living God will find unrestrained access to every mind, to every spirit, to every life, to every. Condition, to every destiny, until we are made, until we are formed, until we transit in the spirit to be men and women of spirture and of power. We commit this service to your wisdom. And we ask that you build us yet again, grant us access to superior light. Let us see light in your light. For Jesus' mighty name. We pray shout believing Amen. Please be seated, Please be seated. You're welcome to the House of God. It is always a moment of transformation in his presence, and I want to thank our family connecting from across the globe.

I welcome all who have traveled from outside of this nation to be here. We were appreciated. Earlier, but please allow me once again to appreciate and celebrate all those who have traveled from outside this city and out of this nation. Warehouse of Honor. May the Lord do you good tonight. In the name of Jesus, we have present with us tonight. Barrista lumide A Patter, the former president of the Nigerian bar Association. May God, bless you, Lord, bless you. Let's give him a big hand. Clab your most welcome sir, praise the name of the Lord. Let me remind. You as we begin tonight that we are a people of vision, and that in building believers, especially under disgrace, there. Is intention to what you are becoming. I owe you a responsibility to remind you once and again. We don't do church as usual. It's not a weekly convergence of people for the purpose of nothing. We are a people who are governed by vision, and it's important that everyone's and again I bring to your consciousness who and what you are becoming. Alle Lujah. The Bible says, as we beholding me says we are changed. Transformation is difficult without a reference until and unless you have a reference, a physical reference or a mental picture. Something to hold on tow us an ankle. It will give you the staying power to continue that process of transition, no matter how uncomfortabil it is. When you know and understand who and what you are becoming in. Christ week after week by reason of exposing yourself to the light of God's word, then you will endere until you are built. Then you will endure until you are changed. Number One, that we're building a spiritually vibrant people. I believe in your spiritual vibrancy as my highest goal. Number two, a people of character thoroughly furnished, that the Holy Spirit can leave out the excellency of its virtues in and through your life. Number three, where a people. We seek to build a people who are enlightened and transformed. It matters that you are enlightened. We're not just building a people who lived hands and shout halleluj and shout. I receive line upon line methodically, so you are growing becoming every day a people who are thoroughly furnished, thoroughly enlightened, and transformed. Number four, the people who are highly anointed. It is my goal under God that you don't propose spiritual things without the grace to defend them. When you say God lives, there should be an anointing that validates that understanding. When you say. God can turn the night of someone to morning, there should be an anointing. So we're not just communicating the word of God. We are dispensers of His grace, the empowerment that helps you to bring validation to your convictions, so that you don't propose things that become empty discussions. The Bible says in Acts four thirty three, it says, with great power give the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ, and great grace. Was upon them all. Number five. We're building a responsible and purpose driven people. There is an end to your pursuit. Your pursuit is ultimately to glorify the Lord. But whilst you are doing that, God demands that through the excellency of the communication that you receive week in week out, you demonstrate lives of dominion, victory and power. Where people who believe in destiny, where people who believe in God's preordination for our lives. Lo I come in the volume of the book as it is written of me. So you are going somewhere. There is a name to that somewhere. Tomorrow is abstract. If it's not governed by vision, tomorrow can become any day at all and leave you frustrated. You have to define tomorrow by vision. Are we together? And then we're building age of societal transformation. We are an apostolic community. The meaning of that is that our impact must transcend beyond the Church walls. A true apostolic community is that community that can demonstrate to society the reality of her being light and salt Matt Chapter five, thirteen to sixteen. It says, you are the salt of the earth. And if the. Salt is lost his sever or salting, as he said, where will shall it be salted? It is thenceforth good for nothing, the Bible says, but to be cast out, trodden and trampled. On the foot of men. Then it says you are the light of the world, the light of Nigeria, the light of Abuja. He calls you. A city that is set on a hill that cannot be hidden. Neither do men light a lamp and put it under a bullshel that they keep the lamp on a candlestick, and it illuminates everyone who is within the room. He says, in that manner, permit. Your light to so shine before men, before spirits, not before angels. He wants our lights to shine. Before men, that they may see our good deeds or good works and glorify our Father in Heaven. I believe in raising a responsible, purpose driven but in addition, an apostolic community that can influence culture, influence society. I maintain the conviction that if your Christian experience profits you alone in your nuclear understanding, you are not doing much. You have to be able to penetrate systems and structures and. Shine the light. And there are weapons that help the believer to be light. Wisdom, intelligence, power, creativity, influence. These are the spiritual resources that walk. Together to help the believer to become light and salt. The benefit of your prayer, the benefit of your fasting, the benefit of your learning scripture, among other things, is to empower you so that you, being empowered, can be light and can be sold. You believe that, Say amen? And finally, we're raising a people by this vision and by all that we do weekly to be a people who are fulfilled. Do you know make. Reference to my teaching work seekest Now. I learned this from scripture, and I learned this from psychology. That there is a big. Difference between success and fulfillment. When you succeed, it is not a gift to yourself. In fact, success by its definition, has to do with achieving goals, and that largely has to do with dispensing value to others. Fulfillment is your own gift to yourself. You can be successful and yet not fulfilled. Fulfillment is defined as the satisfaction derived from knowing that you have lived your life effectively. Are we together serving the purposes of the kingdom and glorifying the Lord with your life. There are very few people whoever crossed that line beyond success into fulfillment. My goal is not to make you successful. If that were the goal, then you are done. You can carry the principles that you have already and attain a measure of success. But God is. Helping us to go pass what the world believes as success into a realm that very few ever attained, is called fulfillment. Here's how Paul puts it. I have fought a good fight. I have finished my cause. Not many people can say that. Many people are caught shot because they spend their lives in confusion and ignorance, only to discover their place at you know, when their lives is almost ended, or their lives are almost ended, and then they are. Not able to do much for the kingdom. But in the name of Jesus Christ, by all of these propositions have brought to you, will be all this and more shouting men like you believe so don't just sit down and say Amen, and write and cry and follow that they're anointing and laugh and stand up and share the grace and leave without having a picture. If someone tells you why are you in church, don't just say I'm going there because I'm a Christian. It's a very sincere answer, but it's not an intelligent one. A believer should be able to defend your convictions. Are we together that the reason why I go to the House of God and I go again, and I go again is because of all this and more that I'm contending for spiritual vibrancy. I'm contending to be a believer with character. I'm contending to be a believer who is transformed and enlightened. I'm contending to be a believer who is highly anointed. I'm contending to be a believer who is visionary, responsible, and purpose driven. I'm contending to be. A believer who can be an agent of territorial and societal transformation. Finally, I'm contending to be. A believer who are the end of my days, would look back and say I did not waste my life. If that describes your destiny, shout amen, and this is the correct way to invite people to church. You don't just tell people come to church, come and listen to my pastor. What is their business with who your pastor is? You need to sell them an idea that is superior. You need to sell them an idea. That is compelling. You need to sell them an idea that can be bigger than their inertia, that relock tends to move, and that idea comes by painting a word compliant picture of what their destinies can become. Are we together now? So next time you're inviting someone to church, don't make it. Don't take it personal and get angry and say I've been inviting you and you're not coming to my church. That's not how believers act. You are trained. You must have this orientation. You should be able to sell the purposes of God in a way that can compel even an unbeliever, and they can look at you and say, whoever is training you? So I need to sit on that that grace. No body runs away from what works away together. Just because our communication is spiritual does not mean it should be bankrupt of intelligence. Are we learning now? Praise the name of the Lord. I needed to say this and I will continue to say this to remind you that this is what you are becoming, young and old, male and female, professional or otherwise. And you see, the good thing about the House of God is the only qualification is your desire and your passion. That's it. There are certain jobs that they will tell you straight up you need to be at a certain grade level. There are certain jobs they will tell you you need to be qualified, you need to have a master's or a PhD. And even that along a particular field. But when it has to do with the business of transformation in the presence of God, the only requirement is. Your hunger and your passion. Tonight God invites. Us again to feast at the table where He serves us light, where he serves us wisdom. If you are already turn it into prayer. In one minute, Father, I am here again. Now I know why I am here. I'm not here to waste my time. I'm not here just to honor my loyalty to a movement, a faith or a man of God. I'm here principally because I love you and I seek to continue my process of growth and my process of transformation. Are you praying? Thank you? Jesus. In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Let me leave you with one guarantee. I learn from business that the greatest way to market is to tell the truth. You have no fear if what you are telling is the truth. If you are lying, you would have to find a way of parding what you are saying. But I give you a guarantee by the authority of Scripture. For as long as you stay opened and ever willing to learn, you will be nothing short. Of a sign and a wonder. And when I say that, I don't say that just with respect to being a preacher. You don't have to be a preacher. What you are receiving is a programming. It's a recalibration. It's giving you a superior orientation. It would be impossible for your life to fail. There is a way. You will not be able to think again away together now the only way you think is the way that leads to victory. You would turn back and find out that all other pathways have been damaged by revelation. You will not be able to follow the way of losers, not the. Way of mean men. Again. You are accessing a superior path that only leads one way, the way of champions. You believe that, say amen, praise God. Now we have been on a series and it's quite I'm sure by now you see that discussing doctrines is no child's play. Allelujah. You have to learn and learn and learn and learn again. And quite honestly, the way doctrines were designed to be taught is through a consistent contact with the students. In this case you call them disciples. You cannot exhaust doctrine just by summarizing them. It doesn't do justice to what you should learn. And so we will continue. Have been burdened on how to communicate this without boring you with unnecessary information, but again without compromising the integrity on how we teach and what you should know. So I've come up with a strategy will continue the series, but then we'll be at liberty also to delve into other matters and revisit the series. If we were to visit the series as a stretch, then that's all we're going to be talking about this year. Fifty two weeks will be way too small. Men like Papa Hagen and other you know, Christian theologians and apologetics would take months, months of extensive, elaborate discussions with your students, and to even arrive at what is not they don't consider it to be a thorough walk yet, And so I submit to you that whilst we're doing well, we're not attaining the kind of justice that we should give to These doctrinal teachings. Nevertheless, will continue as God has given grace, but just to let you know that will spread the series to cover the year, and that means it is not every week. It will not just be a series back to back. Will suspend it should they need a rise and revisit it again. Because the way that we communicate truth the ministry of the world in this house is twofold number one a communication of doctrine, and then number two a communication of the mysteries of the kingdom. So we're not going to leave one to suffer at the expense of the other. Allelujah. I'm not just a Bible study teacher. We are called to be dispensers of the wisdom and the power of God, and we must be wholesome in that duty. So on one hand, you should be established in the knowledge of the foundational doctrines of Scripture. But I must also equip you with the mysteries of the Kingdom, meaning the principles that directly translate to your being victorious. In fact, allow me digress for. A minute and let me teach you the fourfold assignment of the ministry of the world. Let me start from there. Are you learning already? If you're not learning anything, I'll ask you to come forward, because that one will mean that there is a spirit blocking your understanding. There was a madman in Gadara, and the spirit was not interested in his body. The spirit was interested in his mind. And when he was delivered, the Bible says they saw the man sitting with Jesus in his right mind praise the name of the Lord. And so the teaching ministry, what you call the teaching ministry or the ministry of the world, has a fourfold assignment, and it's important I teach you this. And to our family following online, please make sure you get something to write. Don't just watch from your phone or your device or television. You are a student. You are in church. Allelujah. Number one. The first assignment of an accurate teaching ministry is to help believe us accurately and progressively know the Father and Jesus Christ his son. Let's start from there. A teaching ministry, a correct, accurate teaching ministry has the following assignments number one again to help believe us accurately and progressively know the Father and Jesus Christ his son. It's important John seventeen and Versus Free says, and this is life everlasting or eternal, that they may know the the only through God and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. Jeremiah chapter nine, when you read from twenty three to twenty four, particularly verse twenty four says, let him that glory at twenty four, glory in this that he understand that, and knowing me that I am the Lord which exercises love. And kindness and judgment, and so on and so forth. And so the highest pursuit of a believer, I told you in terms of knowledge, is to seek to know God the Father, and to understand Jesus Christ his son. There's an implication to knowing God. We become away together, we become expressions. Of Him that we know. The Bible says, as we behold in Second Corinthians, I believe three eighteen that as we behold Him with open face we are changed from one glory to the other, even as by the spirit of God. So that's the first assignment of a. Teach ministry to help believe us accurately and progressively. You see the difference between our knowledge and God's knowledge. I taught you when we're discussing God that God's knowledge is not progressive. He does not learn. He's not a student, never being, will never be. He only became a student as a man. But as God, his knowledge is absolute. He does not increase in learning. But our knowledge as men is progressive. Line upon lyne, precept upon precept are we learning. So in knowing and understanding God, we grow to love Him and we grow to be like him. You cannot become like a God you do not love, and you cannot love a God you do not know. So it starts with an accurate knowledge of God, and then you love that God that you now know, and then you can become and leave for that God that you now love. Do you understand Number two? The second assignment of the ministry of the world, or a teaching ministry as we call it, is to help believe us understand the Bible, To help believe us understand the Bible, especially the doctrinal pillers of the Christian life, to help believe us understand the Bible, especially the doctrinal pillers. Of the Christian life or the Christian Faith. You want to put it that way, thereby attaining maturity and stature. I read it slowly because I wanted to get it. The second assignment of a teaching ministry is to help believe us understand the Bible, especially the doctrinal pillers of the Christian Faith, thereby attaining maturity and stature. You find scriptural references for this in Luke chapter one one to four. Please write, we don't have the time to read. Look one one to four, Festimoea chapter four from verse eleven to sixty, festimo Tea Chapter four from verse eleven to sixteen, and then second timot Teach chapter three from verse fifteen to seventeen. Let's read the third and that from a child, thou hast known. The holy Scripture which is able to make thee wives onto salvation through faith, which. Is in Christ Jesus sixteen. All scripture, the Bible says, is given. So scripture is a gift from God to us. It is profitable for doctrine reprove correction, instruction in righteousness to the end that the Man of God seventeen says may be mature, thoroughly furnished onto every good work. The second assignment of the Ministry of the World is to help believe us understand the Bible, especially the doctrinal pillers of the Christian Faith, thereby attaining onto maturity and stature Number three. The third assignment of the teaching ministry is to help believe us gain spiritual intelligence. By unveiling to. Them the mysteries and the principles of the Kingdom. The third assignment of the Ministry of the World the teaching ministry is to help believe us gain spiritual intelligence. If you're writing, place underline spiritual intelligence. To help believe us gain spiritual intelligence by unveiling to them the mysteries of the Kingdom. Matthew thirteen eleven. Jesus was speaking, and he said, it has been given onto you to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven, but onto them it has not been given. Second Pitter one and verse four. Powerful Scripture. It says, whereby are given onto us exceeding great and precious promises that by these promises we might be partakers of the divine nature. Haven't escaped the core option that is in the world through lost So every time we sit under the teaching annoyancing under this apostolic grace, beyond the learning of doctrine, expect to gain spiritual intelligence. That means you will be introduced at various levels to the mysteries or the principles, the modus operandi of the Kingdom, how the Kingdom operates. These are the tools that translate to victory in your life. You must know the principles of the kingdom. Understanding doctrine is powerful, but if you stop there, you will end up being a very intelligent theologian with no results. When the robber hits the road, the theological understanding becomes your foundation, but the knowledge of the mysteries empower you to command results. You need both. Are we learning now? Number four? This will be the fourth and final assignment of the teaching Ministry. It is not limited to four, but I believe this. For our foundation. Now to help believe us, apply and translate Kingdom truths to help believe us, apply place underline, Apply and translate Kingdom truths to produce a life of fruitfulness, victory, dominion, and purpose. This is the fourth assignment of the teaching ministry. I read that again to help believe us, apply and translate Kingdom truths to produce a life of fruitfulness, a life of victory, a life of dominion, and a life of purpose. One last time, the fourth assignment of the teaching ministry is to help you. Do you know what this means? Please look up. Let me have your attention. You'll complete what you're writing, But I need your attention now. That means no matter what you lead, if you are not left with the point of application of that knowledge, it will not profit you. The teaching ministry does not just expose you to the truth available. It trains you to use truth as a weapon. And we need to command victory. Are we learning now? So? Any teaching ministry that ends by selling you intelligence alone has not profited you Holistically. Intelligence is important. But the truth of the Kingdom must become for you a weapon, a weapon that you used to purchase victory, to purchase dominion. Are we together to purchase fruitfulness and a purposeful life? Dwan near eleven thirty two. The big part popular scripture sets, but the people that do know their God, they shall be strong and they shall do exploit. It didn't say the people who do know their God will be enlightened. And then it stops there. At the end of that, Johnny, we expect exploits from your life, Job thirty eight popular scripture. But starty tread. The NIV says, do you know the ordinances of heaven? Or do you know the laws of the heavens? I like NIV it says, can you set up God's dominion over the earth using those laws? Do you know God's financial laws? Do you know God's laws of influence? Do you know God's laws of leadership? Do you know God's laws of dominion over spirits? And can you. Translate that knowledge into victory? Here and now listen. This is beyond a teaching ministry. I am beyond a teacher of the world. This is why it does not just stalk by selling you spiritual ideas. Are we together? We are called not just to be communicators of God's wisdom. We are also called to. Be validators of his power, validatos. Of his grace. So it does not just talk with an intelligent life. It moves past a lecture and we turn truth in this place to weapons. There is no service that should leave you enlightened alone. You must have truth. Becoming a weapon so that you can apply it in your daily life and purchase for yourself and for the name of the Lord, victory, fruitfulness, dominion, and purpose. If you're understanding me, say amen. So if you desire to be a teacher of the world, go beyond the realm of Bible study. You must help people to know the Father. If the only thing you bring to people's understanding are principles, you've not done well. In order of priority, the Bible says grace and peace be multiplied onto you through the knowledge of Him. It first starts with the knowledge of Him before the knowledge of it. If the knowledge of it precedes the knowledge of Him, you will produce a people whose understanding is corrupt. In order of priority, the sequence of growth that translates to victory with the knowledge of Him, the Father and his son away together, and then you bring them to understand doctrine, the foundational pillers upon which the Christian faith is built. Then you add another layer, giving them spiritual intelligence, so that they are beyond theologians. They are beyond good. Students in a seminary school for want of expression. You bring them to a point where they become spiritual men, men who are equipped with a requisite level of intelligence to command victory. And finally, you hand to them truth as a weapon, not as an information. A good teacher of the world starts dispensing truth as an information. But at the end of. That discussion, it must become a key, it must become a weapon. You must show me the applicability. If I know that what I am learning has a place in my becoming victorious. I will endure whatever I'm learning together. Else you will just be listening to a lecture, and sometimes it can be very boring, especially when you are dealing with theology and doctrine. When you are dealing when you are translating the truth of God's world and you are dispensing mysteries, it's a lot more enlightening, it's a lot more exciting. But when you are. Discussing theology, that's why the Bible talks of enduring. Sound doctrine, you will need a lot of endurance. Remember in school, there are certain courses that are very exciting. You look forward to the teacher coming, but there's another lecture that when you see. The man coming, you're almost crying. And for some reason, that's the one that has the highest time allocation. And they come and stay there and stay there. And sometimes a man is talking to himself and saying, that is your business. If you don't listen or meet where you must listen? Praise God? All right, So I think I've done. Can you believe that that's just a preamble? I think that's enough revelation for someone? Or ay? Yeah, so ye, a man of God, I've given you something to do Bible study with this week. You can tell them I came with revelations fresh from God. This is what your teaching ministry should be like. Amen, Let's get to our business of tonight, the fundamental doctrines of the faith. So tonight I'll do part three and then we'll do part four whenever God. Allows until we're done. Are we learning. The fundamental doctrines of the faith? Tonight to be part three, And as a subtopic, we're looking at. The riches of His grace, the riches of His grace. Holy holy, holy, holy holy holy Yeah, you lone, holy holy holy holy holy holy. Holy holy holy holy holy holy. Holy holy. Our discussion tonight will center around Jesus and salvation. So let's go efficients up to two. From verse one, the Lord bless us, the Lord grant us understanding, I sends tonight that there will be a very strong importation while I teach. I began to sense that while I was praying. And the reason is because God is not just giving us knowledge, but He's equipping us. So for many of you, whilst you are listening, I believe that people will be having visionary encounters. Some of you will see the Cross literally, some of you will have supernatural revelations, angelic encounters. Let your hearts be very open to receive tonight. Are you ready Verse one? And you had heed the Greek word hears the word zaou z ao, or the extended meaning is anazau is the word revival, to bring. Alife from the dead. And you have he quickened who were dead in trespasses and sins. Verse two. Wherein in time past year walked according to the course of this world, according to the Prince of the Power of the Air, calls it the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience Verse three, among whom also we had our conversations in time past, in the loss of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and whereby nature the children of wrath take note, the children of wrath even as others. For hallelujah. But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love, wherewith he loved us huh, even when we were dead in sin, had quickened us. There you see the word again to get that with Christ. For by grace I saved verse six, reading to eight, and had raised us up together and made us to sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come, he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness towards us through Jesus Christ. Final verse For now, for by grace I saved, and that true faith, it is not of yourselves, It is the gift of God. May the Lord bless the reading of his word. In Jesus' name. Let's consider Jesus. We're going to be learning Jesus very quickly, and I have the liberty to do a summary on this because I have done a discussion along this line before. So some of the things you're going to be hearing will be a repeat, just to bring theological order to our discussion. Tonight will be. Talking about Jesus, and I'll be zooming in on his person and his mission very quickly, his person and his mission. And then I want us to dwell a bit on the subject of salvation, and I hope that God grants us the grace and the liberty of time. So we do a bit of prayer tonight. Is that a good plan? Right? So the Bible calls him Jesus. The reason why we say Jesus is because the Bible itself calls him Jesus. Matthew, Chapter one and verse twenty one. The word there, really the English translates it as Jesus. But the root word from where you get Jesus is the word Yoheshua. That's where you get Joshua. It means that God who saves. It's a definition of his prophetic destiny. Names in scripture where a capture of people's destinies. You could read their destinies to their names. He said, and she shall bring forth a son, and thou shall call. His name Jesus. The a few times or a few other times in scripture where we see God insist on the names that certain people should be called because of their preordination and because of their destinies. An example of such is the man Samson. An example of such is Johnder Baptist. In fact, his father was punished for doubting a word that came from God until he agreed with God. And without prayer. You know, it's being mute was unstopped. And so Jesus. Also. It was not an idea of Joseph, not of Mary. It came as a message from God. One twenty one. Thou shall have a son, and you shall call him Jesus, for he shall save. His people from their sin. So you see that his prophetic destiny, whilst he walked upon the earth was captured in his name Jesus. Their number of. Names and expressions that the Bible calls Jesus, like I said, it's a repeat, and please walk with me. Number one, the Bible calls him the Word of God. John one, verse one. Just write that very quickly. John one, Verse one. The Bible calls Jesus the Word of God. In the beginning was the word John teaches us, and the word was with God, and the word was God. Verse two says the same was in the beginning with God. Verse three. All things were made by him. And without or outside of him, was not anything made that was made. Romans one three to four gives us the second expression about Jesus. The Bible calls him the son of God. Concerning his son Jesus Christ, our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh. So the Bible calls Jesus the son of God and number four. In fact, it says it was declared again to be the son of God. Still Romans one, verse four declared to be the son of God with power by the spirit of holiness. And then the third definition of Jesus according to scripture is found in Hebrews chapter twelve and verse two. My apologies if I'm rushing you, Let me repeat again John one one. The Bible calls. Him the word Romance one three to four. The Bible calls him the son of God. And then Hebrews chapter twelve and verse two the Bible calls him the author and the finisher of our faith. The word finisher means the perfector, the one who begins and the one. Who perfects our faith. You have that down in first John chapter four and verse fourteen. The Bible calls him the savior of the world. First John four fourteen, the Bible calls him the Savior of the world. All of these are the Biblical descriptions of Jesus, and it's important for you to understand what the Bible calls. Him the savior of the world. Festimote, chapter four, nine to ten also makes reference him as savior. This is a. Faithful saying, it says, and worthy of all acceptation or acceptance. For therefore we both labor and suffer reproach because we trust in the Living God, who is the savior of all men, especially of those that believe. So. Jesus is the savior of the world. He is the savior of all men. Let me give you two more. In Firstymote, Chapter two, from verse four to five, the Bible calls Jesus the mediator Firstimote, Chapter two, four and five, that he will have all men to be saved and to come onto the knowledge of the truth. Verse five, it says, there is one God. There is one mediator between God and men, not two, not three, not five. Now listen, there are many witnesses, but there's one mediator. And even though that mediator is a witness. There is a unique expression of his witness. Revelations calls him the faithful witness. Are we together one whose witness has been tried, tested and validated. Jesus is the mediator between God and man in Acts, chapter two and verse thirty six. This will be the last I'm just running from scripture. What the Bible calls Jesus. You'll be surprised that you've been born again for years but may not have taken the time to really hear the Bible speak to you as to what it calls Jesus. He says, Therefore, let all the house of Israel pitter is priching. Now know assuredly that God hath made that same Jesus, whom he have crucified both Lord and Christ. Say Lord and Christ one more time, Say Lord and Christ. The word Lord is the word at on where you get the word I, don't I. And then the word Christ is Christos. It means the anointed one. It also means he's anointing. So the Bible calls him Jesus. The Bible calls him the word. The Bible calls him the son of God. The Bible calls him the author and the finisher of our faith. The Bible calls him the Savior of the world, the savior of all men, the mediator between God and men. The Bible calls him Lord and Christ. While I was teaching about Jesus. Here some time, I think last year or year before, I taught you. Ten descriptions of Jesus that he gave about himself. You still remember the Bible tells us from various accounts, accounts of men who knew him, accounts of men who encountered him. They attested to who they believed he was. But it's very. Important that in discussing Jesus, let him tell you who he is and who he was while he walked upon the earth. And so please allow me to run. This list is going to be quick, and you will do well to write. Else you can listen and go back again. The teachings are always there. They remain online, and you write it down. There are ten descriptions of Jesus that he gave about himself, And every one of this description is a spiritual. Pathway to a realm of power. Every one of these names and these descriptions host within them a dimension of the glory of God that if you know and you find it's the same Jesus. The same way. There are seven spirits of God, meaning the seven manifestations of the same spirit. Are we together? It is still the Holy Spirit when he comes as the Spirit of Dominion. It is still the Holy Spirit when it comes as the Spirit of wisdom. But his moduls operandi as part those descriptions are different. This is how it is. So when you call him Savior, the way he acts and the way he responds as Savior is different from his behavior, his action, and his operation as Lord. Are we together? Ten number one. These are definitions and descriptions that Jesus himself said in describing his person one. He called himself the bread of life, the bread of life, the bread of life. Thankfully, our media people will work with you, so you're going to have all of this. If for any reason you miss any part, please you can go back to our social media platforms and you have a detailed arrange for you. I think we should give a media department a great God bless you for preaching with me. God bless you, my dear people. So let's go. Jesus said, I am the bread of life. John six point thirty five he called himself the bread of life. It was not a rumor, it was not some superstitious belief. He actually called himself the bread of life. You also find that in verse forty one, verse forty eight, and verse fifty. One of the same. John six, so thirty five, forty one, forty eight, fifty one. In all of these expressions, he called himself the bread of life. And then when you get to verse fifty one, he annown says I am the living Bread, the living Bread. Number two, What did Jesus say about himself? He called himself the light of the world. I like this. When you know Jesus as the bread of life, something happens to you different from when you know him as the light of the world. Are we together? I am the light of the world. John eight twelve He said that he was the light of the world. Do you know what this means? When you know Jesus as the light of the world, your destiny is guaranteed, and your destiny is secured, because in the presence of light, there is no darkness. The Bible defines light beautifully as that which makes manifest allelujah. You also find that in John chapter nine and verse five number three. Jesus called himself the door. I like this. I like this for someone. Let me prophesy over you. Because you are standing right now. You don't know where to move to. Your door is closed, or there is no door whatsoever. I decree and declare you will experience Jesus the Door. Shout a man. You will experience Jesus the Door. Do you know what it means to be a door. It doesn't just mean to be a metallic object. It means to be the authorized access point into a realm, into a reality. If you are seeking. For power, you need to encounter Jesus the Door. When you encounter Jesus the Door, you will hand you over to the spirit of grace, and you will lead you to a. Realm of potent power. Are we together? Jesus the Door is very different from Jesus the Light. Jesus the Light guides your path. The word is a lamp onto my feet and a light to my path. But when you meet Jesus the Door, it means a season has come to an end in your life. Because I have taught you that doors midwife seasons, midwife rooms. I mean, from it an architectural standpoint, you can have this mass of space that you call an auditorial, but an architect can build walls and partition those walls with doors. Immediately they are built, you don't easily have an access to another space. Again, Between your living room and your restroom are walls and doors. Between your living room and kitchens, between your living room and your dining area most likely are walls and doors. And there are times that you can be in a house, yet because a door is closed, you don't have access to the room that holds what you are looking for. So when Jesus says I am the door, it means every time life does you. Its thing and refuses you from going forward, he. Literally can come and stand in front of you and you can walk through him as a door to end the season and begin another season. You believe that, say amen? So you find that in. John chapter ten, verse seven, and verse nine, who is learning tonight? I am the door? Number four Jesus said about himself, I am a good shepherd, the good shepherd. In fact, I am the good shepherd. I like this John chapter ten and verse eleven, and then verse fourteen. John ten eleven and then verse fourteen. I am the good shepherd, meaning as his ship. You are not alone. I know that many of you have learned that a ship's defense is entirely dependent on the quality of the shepherd. Are well together. Other animals have various ways of defense. Chameleon can change its color. Other reptiles have secretion, so have whatever the speed of movement. Other animals are bold, they can roar, they can fight, the clause and all of that. But when it has to do with the sheep, the ship. Does not intrinsically have a system of defense. Its defense is entirely derived from the benevolence of the shepherd. So when the Bible calls him your shepherd, the meaning of that is that his jealousy has been invested upon you, and that he will not let anything come within your domain. Do you believe that p. Twenty three and verse one says the Lord is my shepherd. Therefore I shall not want. The word wants dear means I will never fall short of expectation. I will not fall short. Of a standard. He's not just talking about luck. I shall not be need, I shall not want. Jesus is our good shepherd. Can I continue? Number five? The Bible calls Jesus, the Resurrection and the Life. He calls himself the resurrection and the Life. John eleven and verse twenty five. I am the Resurrection and I am the Life. He that believed in me, though he were dead. Yet shall he leave very powerful scripture. You also find that in Revelations Chapter one, seventeen and eighteen the same Jesus, now the glorified Jesus. I fell at his feet, and he said on to me, fear not, for I am the first. And the last. I am verse eighteen the resurrection, he that was dead, and now he lives forever. More so, the Resurrection and the Life. Number six, Jesus called himself the true vine. He called himself the true vine. John fifteen, Verse one, John fifteen. Verse five. I am the true vine, and my father is the husbandman. When you go to verse five, he says it again that I am the vine. So Jesus called himself the true vine. Number seven Have I lost you? Seven? Jesus called himself the Way, the Truth, and the Life. You find that in John fourteen and verse six, the Way, the Truth and the life. Not the way or the truth or the life. I am the Way. In addition to be in the way. I am the truth. In addition to being the truth, I am the life. And I've taught you that you are not given the liberty to select. It's a sequence, it's a spiritual language. I am the way that leads you to reality called the truth, and finally you will access life. So he's not just talking of I am the way. You can choose me. I am the truth. It was a flow, a statement. I am the way. That way leads you to the truth reality, and then finally you have life. So every time God wants to administer. Life, whether as healing, he starts with the way away together, then the truth. Then life. You don't find life in the spirit by seeking life. You find life by pursuing the way. When you find the way, you will find through the way truth, then you will find life. If you want to prosper the prosperity itself with respect. To this, that is the life giving component. There is a dimension of God, the life of God that translates to prosperity. But you're not going to get it just by looking for it. You have to find the way. There is the way that this operates the economic system of the kingdom. When you pursue the way. It leads you to truth, a body of knowledge that enlightens and empowers you. Then you find life, the result that you seek. You see how it works in the Kingdom. So every time you are looking for life, start with the Way, then truth, then life. Who is learning? I am the Way, Truth and life. Now number eight, I'm only giving you ten. I am Alpha and Omega, beginning and the end. This is what Jesus said up at himself. Revelations twenty two thirteen. He called himself Alpha, Omega, called himself the beginning and the end. That means everything in your life that was not there when Jesus started with you. In the name of Jesus, somewhere along the line of your destiny must drop dead. Trouble was not there when he was Alpha. He was Alpha alone, not him, and Trouble not him, and Satan not him, and a nasty boss every other arrogant person only came somewhere in the journey and in the name of Jesus. If there were not Alpha in your life, they will not be Omeka, meaning God and his world will be the final. When all the dust is settled. It will still be Jesus at the end you believe that, say amen. Usually it starts with Jesus as Alpha, and then Satan begins to raise his ugly head. Many other unpleasant things begin to be introduced in your life, either by ignorance, by demonic attack, by bankruptcy of light, and so on and so forth. But eventually you can word of all of those things, and at the end of your life it should it still should be Jesus Christ getting glory from your life. You would have eroded everything that is not Him that has played you. And in the name of Jesus, I'm praying for you any other thing that tries to be God in your life, trouble trying to be God, poverty trying to be God, failure trying to be God. I announced that only one. Person is Alpha, and only one person. Will have to be Omega. Therefore, every other name that is not Jesus made Bao right now. I'm not just teaching. I'm prophetsighed over you made Bao right now. Conci is the name made Bau right now. Failure is a name made Bau right now. Limitations and defeat is a name made. Bau right now. Contenedness is a name made bau right now. Mediocrity is a name made bau right now in the name of Jesus Christ. Number nine. He calls himself the first and the last. Revelations one seventeen. Jesus called himself the first and the last Revelations one seventeen. I am the first, and I am the last, similar to Alpha Omega, and then verse ten. This would be our final on what Jesus called himself. He called himself he that liveth, was dead, and now is a life forever Revelations one eighteen. I am he that liveth. It is true that I was dead, But behold, this is my reality. Now I am alive and that forevermore. Validates the fact that Jesus himself is God, because God must be of an eternal nature. And he says, I am alive forevermore. Allelujah. So these are the ten descriptions of Jesus according to scripture. One last recap the Bread of life, the light of the world, the Door, the good Shepherd, the Resurrection and the Life, the Way and the Truth and the Life, the True vine, Alpha Omega, the first and the last, He that lived, was dead and is alive. Very quickly, Why did Jesus come to the earth. What is his mission? Don't assume you've heard it, Please be humble enough to listen again. There is a threefold mission as to why Jesus came. This must be a very strong foundation toer theological understanding. Many people believe in Jesus, but they do not know why he came. Jesus had a very definite mission captured in Matthew. Chapter one and verse twenty one. His name was a capture of his mission that he will save the people from their sins. He will save the people from their sins. Number one. The first assignment of Jesus as he walked upon the earth was to be an accute revelation of the misunderstood God. I'm saying this. Particularly for the benefit of those who might be hearing it for the first time. This is not a new subject for us. Here you've heard it again, but I should repeat it again. So the first assignment of Jesus was not just to die on the cross. It was his major assignment, but not the first. The first assignment of Jesus was to come as an accurate revelation and accurate manifestation to us of the misunderstood God. Collosians one, fifteen and sixteen. The Bible talks about him being the image of the invisible God and the first born of every creature. Do you know what this means? Until Jesus showed up, like you may have learned, there was no possibility of having an accurate knowledge of God. And I'll tell you the reason why the knowledge of God could not be accurate because the most accurate expression of God personified was Jesus, and they did not have number two, the liberty of the unlimited expression of. The Holy Spirit within them. So he would come upon people, empower them to perform certain functions and go. It was until Jesus was glorified that we had the Holy Spirit to come and assume a permanent residence in the believer WHI together. And so they depended on the knowledge of prophets and priests to learn God. They didn't have a There was no possibility of a. Personal knowledge of God. The knowledge of God in the Old Testament was a corporate knowledge. So certain individuals were given access to various dimensions of God. Then they communicated that idea. As leaders or prophets or priests to the people. And there was a lot of error. The imagine of error in defining God through the lens of their knowledge was very, very wide. The prophets they were honest people. They did the best that they could do. But using the reference Jesus, we can see that there were many things they said God was that from the lens of Jesus, God is not. Are we together? The idea about God that was sold by the prophets did not give a good picture of who God is, And so Jesus came as a marking script. Never forget this. He came as a reference so that we will use him to compare and judge every other thing the prophet had said about him. So if the prophet said, for instance, God is love, we have a right to doubt that statement until we verify it using the person Jesus. Are we together? Yes, That immediately debunks statements like you may have heard me say a lying spirit came from God. When you hear such statements, you are now confused. There is only one spirit that proceeds from the Father, and. The Bible calls it the spirit of truth. Now, why do you charge God with life? And how does the Bible say a lying spirit came from the Lord that was the prophet's interpretation of what they thought God was. But Jesus came as a correction. He came as God incarnate, and the Bible says in his manifestation he was full of grace and truth, truth as the word the. Spirit of God that came upon him. Jesus teaching himself, he called that spirit the spirit of truth. Are we together? So we cannot charge God with lying? The Bible even says it that God is not a man that he should lie, not the son of man that he should repent. Are you learning now? So? The most accurate presentation of God to man personified is Jesus. The only way to. Learn God in a profitable and accurate way is to study the earthwork of Jesus. Because the Bible says that he came as an express a revelation, as an express image of the invisible God. You get that now, That was his first assignment. Every time you learn anything about God in the Old Testament and you are in doubt, your spirit does not seem to agree, take a pause and go to the life of Jesus. Try to find a parallel of such expression. If you don't find it there, then know that the prophets did their best, but they saw in part and they prophesied in part. Who is learning now? So that you don't just carry things from the Bible about God that is inconsistent with that which was demonstrated in the life of Jesus. When we preach God, when we talk about God, we verify our speakings with Jesus. If we do not. Find what the Bible says God is and what he does as sin in Jesus. We know that God is kind because Jesus demonstrated kindness. We know that God is love because Jesus demonstrated love. We know that God Jorge is because we saw Jesus judging between matters. Are we together? Very important? So that's the first assignment. Number two. The second assignment of Jesus when he walked upon the earth was to reconcile us, to make the life of God accessible to everyone who believes. To make the life of God accessible to everyone who believes. By reconciling us to God. I like this, to make the life of God accessible. You call it eternal or everlasting life. His second assignment, which was his major assignment when he came, was to make the life of God accessible to everyone who believes John three, sixteen seventeen, John ten ten, John three sixteen seventeen, John ten ten, Efficient Chapter two fourteen to sixteen, Efficient Chapter two fourteen to sixteen. These are all. References that point to the fact. That he came to reconcile man to God. Will talk a bit on that because we're going to be discussing salvation next. And then first John Chapter five, eleven and twelve. All of these scriptures John three, sixteen, John ten ten, Epicients two fourteen to sixteen. Finally, First John five eleven to twelve. The Bible says, he that had the son, that this is the record that God had given us eternal life John five to eleven, and that this life is in his son, so that whosoever had the Son had life John Chapter first, John my apologist first John five eleven and twelve. So he came to reconcilos allelujah. And his final assignment when he walked upon the earth was that he came as a patent man. Do not forget this, the Bible says, looking on to Jesus. Looking on to Jesus, Paul calls him the author and the finish of our faith. You find that in Hebrews chapter twelve, from verse two looking on to Jesus, he demands that we look at him as a reference and as a pattern. In fact, there says risk of teachings that I did in South Africa on this subject. You can go to coin on your global and just get it, and you take the time. I taught extensively on what it means to look on to Jesus. He came as a model of God's idea and a model of God's expectation. Please look up. Let me ask you a few questions and I'll politely demand an answer from you. Number one, did Jesus complete his assignment? That means, if you are to be like Christ, no power in hell should cut short your life before its time away together. Because he finished his assignment, you will finish your assignment. Number two, did he lack provision for his assignment? That means, even if it means a fish bringing a coin out, a man buying a donkey and keeping it for your sake, having a people prepare triumphant entry, whatever provision is responsible. For finishing your assignment. I pray for you because Jesus was not in lack and want may God, raise men on your behalf. I hope you are receiving this, Yes, sir. When you look at the life of Jesus, it parallels God's expectation for you. For as long as he was about his father's business, no one could short his life. One time they took him to a cliff, and we're going to push him down. The Bible says he literally, not spiritually, he walked through them. Can you imagine that? That means within the confines of your assignment, there is immunity, there is preservation, no power in hell I'm speaking to someone. No enchantment, whether as operations of witchcraft causes yokes in the name of Jesus, none will work in your life because you are about the father's business. And if you ever think listen, if you ever think that wickedness, witchcraft, and all of these things do not exist, it means you are still a child, or you are joking. Our world, The Bible says, the whole world lied in wickedness. You don't have to offend anybody. Welcome to the world. Once you are here, you live long enough, it's enough to attract someone's anger, and you will fraternize with the spirit to kill what can be killed, destroy what can be destroyed. But my Bible says, thanks be to God, which causes us always to try out. Therefore, I'm declaring over someone. I don't know what has held you down. I don't know what shane has brought you down. I don't know who is fraternizing with systems and spirits to insist that your influence will not grow and that your voice will not be heard upon the mountain. I pray for you in the name of Jesus. They will fall like Dagone before the act. They will fall like Dagon before the art. You're in business, and your business is for the. Glory of God. And someone is conspiring with systems and the powers that be. Some of them are sitting with you, dipping the bread like Judas with Jesus. It doesn't matter in what form of fashion, whoever is against your destiny. I pray in the name of Jesus. Like they could not defeat Jesus, they will not defeat you. In the name of Jesus. And don't give me the excuse that I discovered my purpose late. It took Jesus only three and a half years, and he fulfilled the greatest assignment that could be given to any man. So it's not too late. If Jesus did it in three and a half years, now that you are more than a conqueror, it means in one year you can gain time. I'm praying for you, even if. You got born again late and it looks like time has gone past. In the name of Jesus, let's use twenty twenty five as a case study. May God help you to do much for the kingdom this year. May God help you to do much for your destiny this year. In the name of Jesus Christ, please be seated. There are a number of you. I'm still prophesying that there are a number of you. Your destiny accomplishing your destiny demands influence, And truly, because you are behind from a normal sequence of human activities, it will take decades to go through the queue of human sentiments until you rise to a point of influence. But I'm praying for. You by an ability that is beyond you, by an ability that is beyond your understanding. May my God accelerate your rising. Accelerate your rising, accelerate your rising. The right people will hear about you. They will extend to your warm hands of fellowship. In the name of Jesus, please be seated. It is amazing how humans can become stumbling blocks to your fulfilling your assignment. They can arise and just hate you because of gender, because of tribe, because of intelligence, or you reflect an aspiration that may not be possible in their life, and just because of that they will trap you down. They won't move forward, but they will say, under my watch, nobody will rise in this company. I'm still speaking to you, anyone who has fouled and said under his watch you will not rise. That for you, it will meet tears. Every day you have come to a prophetic family. I pray for you in the name of Jesus Christ. This week, may you begin to see their downfall. Allelujah. There was a man in the Bible. Please sit down. There was a man in the Bible called Herold. Now I have read this story. Many times and like you've heard me say, yeah, I Herold must be under the inn. I mean, you look at this attitude. You know that there had to be an evil spirit in Herold. Because number one, at that time, young people were no longer kings. The days of young people like Josiah joash being kings had passed. You needed to attain a level of statue. To become king. You could be young like the rich young ruler. But to become Herold, Caesar, all of these noble positions, it would take some experience. And Jesus was born as a baby. Please reason with me. By the age, God Herold should not be intimidated by Jesus. By the time Jesus were a teenager, he most likely would be dead. He did not know that. From the time Jesus was born, he only had a little over two years. To live, and yet he was intimidated. He said, let me know where the king is so that I would kill him. Question, why do you want to kill a baby when you are already an old man? An old man? She say, let me will help the boy, because in any case I would die. There are people who there's no reason to fight you. They are older than you, they are. Richer than you, and yet they will not let you rise and praying for you any one after the order of Herold. That God has already helped them, and yet they will not want to see your joy. In the name of Jesus, I declared, they go down for your sake. They got down for your sake. They keep away. For your sake. My God would take them out of the way for your sake. Allelujah. Please sit down, Please sit down. I hope you are learning. Yes, sing. Your friend sent me. Something he usually would write a few posts, and I just wanted to read it for you. I thought to connect it with what I'm saying and paraphrasing. Really, I don't have the time to read everything. And he made mention of something that was really, really very touching, and he said, there are times when the only joy men derive is when you have pain, and they are pain is your joy. For as long as you are happy. Someone is having a sleepless night, Why must this family be like this? Whereas I was praying that the son would die, I'm hearing that the daughter has given better again. There are people like that. I'm telling you, I'm not being negative. There are people like that. For as long as there is good news from your end, it is headache for them. But when they hear that something bad, it looks like it becomes a bam. Whoever is waiting to hear bad news, who are headache. For the rest of your life. Because as for you. Every day, God will crown you with messy, crown you with loving kindlesses in the name of Jesus Christ. Please be seated, Please be seated. Allelujah. Now the question is did Jesus succeed in this assignment? Yes he did, and the proof. Listen carefully. The proof that Jesus succeeded in this assignment is the believer in Christ. The proof that he succeeded is not just an empty grave. The proof that he succeeded was not just an empty cross. Are we together? The proof that he succeeded was not just his gament. All of those things are proved, But the ultimate proof that he succeeded was not given just his assssion to heaven and his exaltation. The real proof that the job was done. Is me and you. We are the evidence that he won. We are the evidence that he finished. Are we together? It's a very powerful world. You must know that you are God's evidence. When Satan tries to doubt the power of God, say not. When I'm here, I am evidence, I am evident, I am evidence, the evidence that he defeated Satan, the evidence. That he defeated since Satan. Hell and the grave, the evidence that he finished when he said it is don't oh, it is finished. I am that evidence. The new Man in Christ is the most potent biblical evidence of the victory of Christ. Are we together now praise the name of the Lord. Hallelujah. Now let's go to the subject of salvation, praying the spirit in one minute. Salvation, Salvation, All. Powerful, how gloriosus. There's nothing like the name of Jeeus, How powerful, all gloryus. There's nothing like the. Name of Jeeus, all powerful, all gloryus. There's nothing like the name of Jeeus. Are you praying, Go ahead and pray, Father will bless you. Allelujah. Amen. All right, so please listen and then you. Will write like I've taught you here when we began this series that theology has a spiritual discourse. Help. I'm sensing the anointing of the Spirit coming on a few people right now. I just started sensing my right hand like this movement the annoying of the Holy Spirit, and the Lord is saying, I am empowering you for the assignment that I've called you you into and empowering. You, empowering you by the Spirit of God. This is what the Lord is announcing you have gotten to a level in your life where you need empowerment. You cannot do. The business of the kingdom by the arm and the strength of the flesh. And when I talk about the assignment of the kingdom, I'm not limiting it to pull pitch ministry. Whatever it is that God has called you to do, you need beyond intelligence, You need beyond connection and praying. There are a few people right now grace is resting on you. You will arise from this meeting with such sufficient empowerment. For some is for the next level of the assignment. You've done well, but you've exhausted your current season. I degree and declare, let that grace be release upon you. Now, Allelujah. Please see it, Please see it. So I told you, and I taught you that theology. Is a broad discussion, and that many times in studying theology classically. Speaking, you have. To break it into the various aspects, and they all have theological names, just to guide your understanding and not to waste your time. The study of salvation. There is a doctrinal study of salvation, and the theological name for it is Sauteriology, from the word saoteria. When you are studying salvation, there is theology proper, the study of God the trin nature. There is demonology. There is ecclesiology, the study of the church were together. There's Christology. There is pneumatology, the study of the Holy Spirit. There is eschatology, the study of the end times. Now, when you're discussing the matters of salvation, it is called souteriology, from the word zwteria s o t r io l og y s o t e r i O l o g y s soteriology. So it's a branch of theology called sortereiology. I'll be speaking in summary. Forgive me. We still have other things, so I'm not We can spend literally a month every day discussing to broaden the whole subject, because when you're studying salvation classically, there are seven other connecting subdivisions of salvation that you must study back to back. You have to study redemption, you have to study propitiation, you have to study justification were together, you have to study exaltation, you have to study scientification, and there are three. Levels of them. So we're not going into all of that, but then just for you to know that there's more. Than you're that you're receiving tonight. Let's discuss salvation. What is salvation? It comes from the Greek words sorteria, sorteria, s o t e r i a comes from the Greek words sooteria, which itself is from the root soa s o t er means savior, don't worry. Just elementary Greek, so that you just have something down. Salvation is from the Greek word sooteria, which itself is from the word sota. It means savior. Now, zoteria is a complex word. Please look up. It is a complex word that carries an idea of deliverance. It carries the idea of safety. I'll let you write, but I need to listen. So when we talk about steria as a word that was translated, salvation is. Not just zoom to one aspect of life. It's a broad word that applies to deliverance, applies to safety, applies to restoration, applies to healing, and applies to wholeness. So when you use the word zoteria, it's not just limited to eternal salvation from eternal damnation all together. It's root description broadens to capture deliverance, safety, restoration, and wholeness generally speaking, but within the context of our discussion, we narrow the definition to mean man's deliverance from sin and its consequences. Man's deliverance from sin and its consequences. So I said that it is a complex expression of deliverance, safety, restoration, healing, and wholeness, but within the context will narrow it down to mean man's deliverance from sin, man's deliverance from the consequences comma eternal damnation being the greatest of them. So salvation so teria in this case, in simple terms, is a description or a study of man's deliverance from sin and its sequences, eternal damnation being the greatest of them. Let's go to ask chapter sixteen. We read from verse thirty and thirty one. This was a discussion that happened between the jailer and then Paul and Silas if you remember he asked chapter sixteen. So the story has. It that they got into a city minister to a lady who was possessed with a damn cell that brought great gain to people, and because the people no longer profited from the spirit of divination that was on her, they were blackmailed and sent to the prison. So Paul and Silas were in prison, and the Bible says at midnight from verse twenty five that they prayed, they sank, and everybody heard them. There was a miraculous intervention and all the chains were loosed, and the jailer, now thinking they had gone, he brought out his sword and was about to kill himself, and then Paul told him, no, hold your peace, were all here. Do not do any harm to yourself. Were all here. He was so impacted by that, and that led him to begin that series of discussion. Eventually he led them to his house. And now we get to verse thirty just wanted you to understand the context. And when he had brought. Them, he said, sas, what must I do to be saved? That's the word, now you see that now to be delivered in this case from eternal damnation. And then verse thirty one thirty one he said, believe on the Lord Jesus, and thou shalt be saved. He uses the word psoteria, the word saved. Believe in the Lord Jesus. And thou shalt be saved. You and your house. I'm just showing you from the Bible a usage of that word. So salvation sooteria in this context is man's deliverance from sin and its consequences, eternal damnation being the greatest of all. Hallelujah. Would you allow me digress for a moment and then just list for you six or is it seven? I hope I can't remember all. The victory of Christ was over seven major things, and I want to list it. Number one scene, the victory of Christ was number one over Sin. Number two, the victory of Christ was over Satan. Number three, The victory of Christ was over death. Number four, The victory of Christ was over the grave, saing Satan death the grave. Number five, the victory of Christ was over Hell. Number six, the victory of Christ was over the flesh. And then number seven, the victory of Christ was over the world. So when you want to discuss the victory of Christ, who listed Cali These are the seven areas where the victory of Christ applies to our repeat it again, in no particular order, Sin, Satan, death, Hell, the grave, the flesh, and the world. And the systems of appropriating that victory differ because, for instance, when you are a believer in Christ, the same problem has been solved, but the flesh problem may not have been solved. The same problem is solved by declaring the lordship of Christ, and the nature called righteousness is given to you immediately aur together, but the flesh. Will demand you walking daily, dying daily. In theology, we call it progressive scientification. So there is instantaneous scientification, there is progressive scientification, and then there is sanctification that is perfected at the appearing of Jesus. Are we together needed you to have that knowledge? Just have that so that ultimately it was seen that was the great way that you know, produced all of these things, but that the power of God in delivering the victory that came through salvation, covered all of these areas. Now let's continue very quickly. So Salvation captures the whole plan of God. Salvation captures the whole plan of God for the rescue and the restoration of man. Salvation captures the whole plan of God for the rescue and the restoration of Man. I'll give you a few scriptures. Now, Salvation captures the whole plan of God for the rescue and the restoration of man. John three sixteen Simple Scripture for God's Soul Love the World that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on him or in him should. Not perish, but have still life. And then the same John chapter three, verse thirty six, give us thirty six. John three thirty six. He that believed on the Son hath everlasting life. And he that believed not the Son shall not see life. But the wrath of God abided in him. Praise the name of the Lord. Second Scripture, John ten ten. The thief comment, but but for to steal, to kill, and to destroy. But I am calm that ye may have life, and that you have it more abundantly. Are you learning now for the Okay, let's look at the third, and then I'll give you the fourth and fifth. I don't have to read all of them, just for reference. Ephicients one who read from verse three efficients one from verse three to eight. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with all blessings in spiritual in heavenly places. In Christ uh huh are according as He had. Chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love. Five, Having predestinated us onto the adoption of children. Watch this now, havn't predestinated us into the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, reading to eight, to the praise of. The glory of his grace, wearin he had. Made us accepted in the beloved seven, in whom we have redemption, Sir, have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace verse eight, wearing he had abounded towards us in all wisdom and in prudence. Rite this remaining scripture. Will not read. Them, but please have them down. Efficient Chapter two from verse four to ten. Efficient Chapter two from verse four to ten. But four already tells us that God, who is rich in messy for the love that he loved us even when we're dead in sin, had quickened us. We read that earlier on down to ten. And then first pit touch after one three to five, first pit touch after one three to five. The same way you're. Writing these scriptures, that is how you will be writing the manifestations of them in your life. You are not wasting your time. You are writing them because there are some problems. You will not need to write again in the name of Jesus Christ. You are writing with your own hands or typing by your own hands, the realities of the victory that you now have in Christ, so that there are certain prayer requests you will not have to write again. You will have to write defeat again in the name of Jesus Christ. Allelujah, Praise God. So you have that down now. The next question I want to answer is what are we saved from? I want to be as simple as possible. You will be surprised that many believers know we are saved, but they don't know what we're saved from. Generically speaking or generally speaking, people just say we're saved from sin? And what does that mean? The average believer does not even understand. I'm not talking of an unbeliever. What are we say? From the Bible teaches that essentially were saved from two things? Number one sin Romans six twenty three. We are saved from sin for the wages of sin is death and I talk about that a bit. But the gift of God is eternal life. Through Jesus Christ, our Lord, please learn this. We are saved from sin. Number two. We are saved from God's wrath w r. Eighth God's wrath Romans Chapter five and verse nine. Romans five and nine. The Bible says, much more than being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from the wrath through him allelujah, justified by his blood. First, the Salonius, let me add one scripture for your first. The Salonians five, I think, from verse eight or nine, also talks about the wrath of God. Let's drive us eight or nine. But let us okay, beautiful. Let's read eight and nine together. Give us eight media eight. But let us who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love and for a helmet the hope of salvation. Verse nine, let's read together one to go, for God had not appointed us on to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ. So essentially, we are saved from sin and we are saved from wrath. Let's talk about sin for a moment. I just want to give you a little bit of perspective, and forgive me. As I play with a few Greek and Hebrew words. Maybe I would just take four of them and then maybe one Greek word for your understanding. Hallelujah. You know how you bid children with ice cream to follow you. So after you take the Greek words, I will now professy over your life. Then will continue. Isn't it wonderful? Prophecy works? So receive it any time you see it. It works in the name of Jesus. Right, So the word scene, there are essentially four Hebrew words, and there's the reason why we're walking this out. I'll just read it for you. There are four Hebrew words that are translated scene, and there's an interplay between them, being called scein and many other expressions. But write this for your understanding. The first word translated in the Hebrew scene is the word. Chata c h A t t a T c h A t T double t. Now at. Chata it means an offense. It means to miss. It means to lack or to be shot off. The word chattad has sin. It means an offense. It means to miss. It means to lack or to be shot off. You find that expression in Psalm thirty two, from verse one and verse five. Psalm thirty two bless said is he whose transgression is forgiven, and whose sin is covered. And then verse five same thirty two. I acknowledge my sin onto the same word, and my iniquity have I not hid? I said, I will confess my transgression onto the Lord, and doub forgive us the iniquity of my sin. So that's the word the chatta. One more scripture, will not really, but just write it. Isaiah fifty three from verse ten to twelve. Isaiah fifty three from verse ten to twelve. The Messiah in prophecy that he will broise his head, you shall see the travel of his soul, and so on and so forth. Hallelujah. The second word is actually the word transgression, but it comes from the Hebrew. Word is actually passa. But then it's spelled p A w s a h p A w s ah. Good English. Lesson using Hebrew pa. Some of you have not spelt in a long time. P A W s a h. What does that mean? Is the word that is translated transgression. It means to revolt. It means to break away from a just authority. It means to revolt. It means to break away from a just authority. It also means to rebel, So when we talk about trans transgression, we're talking of revolts in breaking away, defiance to authority, and being a rebel. Three scriptures, Exodus tharty four and verse seven. Exodus thaty four and verse seven. It says, keeping mercy for one thousand generations, one thousand or four thousands, for giving iniquity. And transgression and sin. You see that now, So he uses that expression there some nineteen verse thirteen, some nineteen verse thirteen. It says, keep back your seven from presumption scein, let them not have dominion over me, and I shall be upright and I shall be innocent from the great transgression. That's the word you find again. One last one Daniel nine twenty four. And that does it for the words. I'm just giving you the words that are associated or related with the idea of sin. Alle lujah. And this is Daniel. It says, to finish the transgression and to make an end of sin, and to make reconciliation for iniquity. He's speaking about Jesus in prophecy, a future events that will happen, that happened when Jesus walked upon the earth. The next word is the word avon av o ed all Hebrew words. By the way, Avon av or end is the word translated in English iniquity. The word translated iniquity. What does that mean? It means perversity. It means to make crooked. The word avon. Av o n is the word iniquity. It talks about perversity, and it means to make crooked. Two scriptures Some fifty two and verse three Some fifty two avers three. It says, doun loves evil, modern good, and lying moderan to speak righteousness. This is the idea of iniquity. You love evil, modern good, and lying more than to speak righteousness. And then some one O three we read verse three and read verse ten. Some one O three will read verse three and read verse ten. Who forgive it all die iniquities? Remember, and he let all die diseases? And then verse ten he. Had not dealt with us after our sin, nor rewarded us according to our iniquity. So I've dealt with three words. Number one is chatad, meaning sin itself. And then the second word. Is pasad paw sah, and the third. Is yvonne iniquity. And then we have the next word called asham a sham asham that's the word that is translated in English trespass. That's the word translated trespass. It simply means to be guilty or to be found wanting. It means to be guilty or to be found wanting trespass. Levitical chapter six. Who read verse two then would jump to five and six? Where would I be. If you left me? Now? Where would I be if you left me? Where would I be? You? Well, you, Levitical chapter six, Verse two. If a soul seine and commit a trespass against the Lord, there you have the word and lie on to his neighbor, in that which was delivered him to keep, or in fellowship, or in a thing taken away by violence, or had deceived his neighbor. This is Leviticos listing all the things. I'm just showing you the usage of that word tresspass. You also find that in verse five. Please go to verse five, same scripture, verse five, or all that about which he had sworn falsely and he had, and shall even restore it in the principle, and shall add the fifth part more therein and give it on to him whom it pertained in the day of his trespass, offering you find that word again verse six, verse six, five and ten six, Okay, and he shall bring his trespass offering to the Lord a Ram without blemish, out of the flock with with the estimation for a trespass offering. So I'm just showing you that that word trespass is the word that is translated asham. Right now in. The Greek, We're not we're going to only consider one, But there are nine Greek words that are translated sein. Only one is of importance to us. But just for your. Knowledge, there are nine very interesting Greek words, some very very long, disturbingly long. But I'll give you only one Greek word. Then I'll tie everything. And you now know why I broke down these expressions. Is the word hammatia. The word scene in the Greek is the word hammatia. H A M. A r t I A H A M A r t I A h A M A r t i A the word hammatia, and it's used about one hundred and seventy four times in the New Testament. Harmatia one hundred and seventy four times in the New Testament. Now, this is where we get the popular definition of sin. It means to miss the mac. It means to attempt to attain results which lie beyond one's capability. So when we talk about harmatia as the word sin, it means to miss the mark, and then it means to attempt to attain a result that lies beyond one's capability. I'll give you a few scriptures where the word's sin is the word harmatilla. Just writing for reference Matthew one twenty one. We read that early earlier on, he shall. Deliver his people from their sins. There you go the word again, Matthew twenty six, twenty eight. Matthew twenty six, twenty eight. Matthew twenty six, twenty eight. It says, for this. Is that's my blood of the New Testament or Covenant, which. Is shed for many for the remission of saints. The word hammatilla, Verse three, Acts, chapter two, and verse thirty eight. Peter is preaching on the day of Pentecos, and he says, repent and be baptize every one of you in the name of Jesus for the remission of sins. That's the word there, and. You shall receive the gift of the Holy ghost. Two more verses, Romans three, twenty I've given you Matthew one, twenty one, Matthew twenty six, twenty eight, adds three thirty eight. Now Romans three. Twenty it says, for by the deeds of the law shall no flesh be justified in his sight? For by the law is the knowledge of Sin Hammatilla one. Last scripture, Romans Chapter six. The broad texas from verse ten to twenty three. But we read that earlier on. I think we just stay from verse ten to two, if you just write that for your reference, so that I can turn you. Twenty three is a long It's a long one. So he that died onto Sin, you have the word there. It spans right to twenty three. Now, generally speaking, Sin talks of a nature of rebellion against God and his laws. Generally speaking, I'm teaching. You what we were saved from. Sin talks of. A nature of rebellion against God and his laws. Sin talks of a nature of rebellion against God's and his laws. And there are four expressions to this nature. Are you ready. Number one foolish thoughts proverabs Twenty four and verse nine. That Sin generally talks about a nature of rebellion against God and his laws, and that. This nature is produced. Is this nature produces four levels, four channels of that rebellion Number one foolish thoughts, the Bible says, read with me one to go. It says, the thought of foolishness is what seeing foolish thoughts. Another word for foolish dear is godless thoughts. Foolish dear does not just mean on wise thoughts. Are you getting the idea? You know what? The Bible says, a fool says in his heart there is no God. So the word foolish. Dear means void of God as the center of the thoughts foolish thoughts number two. The second expression of that nature is transgression of God's laws. I hope you are following now. I'm saying that generalis speaking. Sin talks of a nature of rebellion against God, and. That there are four expressions. So that nature number one is in the thought realm, foolish or godless thoughts, thoughts that do not honor God. The Bible calls it sin number two transgression of violation of God's laws. You find that in First John, chapter three and verse four. First John Chapter three and verse. Four, whosoever committed sin transgressed. Also the law. For sin is the transgression of the law. Transgression of God's thoughts is the second expression of that see nature number three on righteousness. On righteousness. You find that in first John five seventeen. First John five seventeen on righteousness. Read with me, please ready one. To go all on righteousness, one more time, all on righteousness. And then he says, there is a sin that is not onto death, and all of that on righteousness. And then number four the fourth expression. In fact, it's even five. I said four. Forgive me, it's five. I'm saying that I struggled. The fifth one here, the fourth expression of that nature of sin is called not doing good, not doing good James four seventeen. Avoidance of good or not doing good. It says, therefore to him that know where to. Do good, and do it not it is seen, so he talks about the works of the doings of men. You notice the nature one talks of thoughts away together. The other one talks of breaking a law, falling short of a standard. The third now talks about. The walks you're doing. Or on righteousness, and then not doing good James four seventeen. And then number five The fifth expression of that nature is called unbelief Romance fourteen twenty three unbelief. Our recapit on it again. For he that doubted is damned if he did eat, because he eated not of faith. And then the Bible says, whatsoever is not of faith, or whatever is of unbelief is seen? Are we learning now? So we see that scene is first in nature, but it produces foods, and it has several expressions, one godless or foolish thoughts, two transgressions of God's law, three on righteousness for avoidance of good or not doing good or practicing practitioners of evil, and then number five unbelief. So when we talk about man being saved from sin, we're not just talking of the original scene that was in Adam or the original scener who is Satan. According to scripture, the Bible does not tell us that salvation covers angels or covers spirit. Salvation is only for men. Is the reason why Satan has not been forgiven, and he will. Not be forgiven. Fallen angels have not been forgiven. There's no record of pardon for them. The Bible talks about those who sinned against God. We know from scripture that your original sin, as we see, an original sinner really was Satan himself, and the original scene came from man. And the Bible tells us that death came by sin came death, and all of us today have become a partakers of that nature. The Sami said in iniquity? Did my mother conceive me? Are we learning now? So he came to save us from the nature that produces rebellion beyond our ability to help it. Do you know what this means? Every time you see someone who cannot help what manifests the nature of sin, what that person needs is not counseling. If you tell the person to stop in an area, that nature will express itself in another area. Are way together, I would always want to say. Dealing with the scein problem is uproot is like uprooting a tree rather than plucking out the leaf one by one. Imagine that you want to cut down a tree and you want to start by plucking the leaf one by one. That's going to be a total waste of your time. But when you uproot that tree, eventually you see the leaves drying. Am I right on that? Praise God Jesus didn't have to remove the leaves one by one, he cost the tree, and by the morrow it didn't happen immediately, but by the morrow the tree had dried. Right so very quickly. How are we saved? How are we saved? We know what salvation is, We know from what we are saved from sin and the wrath of God, the nature of rebellion, carrying out all kinds of works. And then how are we saved? It's important to know how we are saved. Listen whilst you hear me teach on how we are saved. You can know immediately whether or not you are just a church attendant, a member. Are we together? Even if it means a functionary in church, it does not necessarily mean you are saved. How are we saved? The Bible is very clear as to how salvation is administered to anyone who desires it by believing the Gospel. Listen, please, we are saved by believing the Gospel alongside all the blessings that come with it through faith in Jesus Christ. Write that down. Please. If I wear you our stardars statement, I'll take it again. We are saved by believing the Gospel alongside all the blessings that come with it through faith in Jesus Christ. John Chapter three, hundre, Verse seventeen. We are saved by believing the gospel. God sent not his son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world. Through him might be saved. Romans Chapter two, from verse eight and nine to eight and nine. Let's look at verse nine. Well, I think I must have mised something there. Romance ten, My apologies ten not two. Romance ten eight and nine. If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, on hearing the Gospel now and believing thy heart that God raised him from the dead, it says, thou shalt be saved. It says, for with the heart or with the heart man believed onto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made onto the word. There is psteria deliverance from eternal damnation, or any kind of deliverance for that matter. So we are saved by believing the gospel. And I'm going to run through very briefly what the gospel is, because if what you heard is just nice preaching and it is not the gospel, believing on it does not save you. There are many about God you can believe There are many things about the Bible you. Can believe, but there. Is an exact body of information that translates to salvation from sin, God's wrath eternal damnation. Are we together right? So we're almost there, okay. I promise to professy over your life before we continue. Some of you, if you had your way, you will be sleeping. But once you hear PROPHESI Nigerians like prophecy. That's why we're going forward. Praise God. It's only that in addition to it, you must also a. Listen and lend doctrine. So let me speak over your life. What do I tell you now? In the name Allelujah, praise the name of the Lord. Or you believe in the prophetic word, let me decreate over your life in the name that is above all names. First and foremost. You know sin brought with. It about five things. One that nature, number two, sickness number three, oppression from Satan number four, lack and want number three, shame and degradation. You find those as his benefits. In some one h three he says, WOU delivered you from your iniquity, heals your disease, deliver you from oppression. So let me prophesy those five things. In the name of Jesus, I pray for you right now, everything that is a habit, everything that is an addiction, whatever it is that will not let you serve the Lord in spirit and truth. I declare the power over it is released on you. Now, and its power over you is broken right now, in the name of Jesus. Number two, anyone here who has gone through seasons of sickness, like the woman with the issue of blood, spending money on your health, spending money on you know, your body. In the name of Jesus, I declare, let the plague of sickness leave you now. Number three, I'm praying. I'm speaking from my. Heart over your life manifestations of demons, especially in spite of the fact. That you are a believer. It is clear that this is the handwriting of witchcraft. It is clear that this is the handwriting of Satan over your life, over your children. I pray for. You by the power that raised cries from the dead. Let victory over. Satanic manipulation be established now. Number four, but sin, considering some one O three, the Bible says he crowns you with loving kindness and tender messes is talking about honor. Anyone who has a crown in his head is royalty. Therefore, I pray for you. Whatever has taken your crown from your head. Your crown is your bishopric. Your crown is a symbol of your honor. I pray for you this night by the messy of God. May that crown be restored, meaning your dignity be restored, meaning your place be restored as a key and as a priest that you are in the mighty name of Jesus Number four, I pray for you. The Bible says He satisfies your mouth with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagles. This talks about abundance. I hope you believe in abundance. This is a good place to shout in me. And I pray for you that beginning from March Patalada, beginning from March missterious supplies come to you miss serious financial opportunities come to you. In the name of Jesus Christ. Those who are forgotten you will remember you. God will grant you access to strange resources, resources by the wisdom of the spirit, resources by the hand of God for someone else. Your prophecy. You will lay up gold as does in the name of Jesus Christ. Please me see, please be seated. These are not just transitory statements until we get to the discussion on the gospel. I mean it from my heart and it came by the anointing, and to everyone who believed, you will see it manifest in your. Life in Jesus name, I pray. Very briefly, let's look at the gospel. The Gospel is from the Greek word e wan kelly on e u a n g e l i o n. Many times people mix the Latin and the Greek eu a n g e l i o n e wan kelly on. It means good news. It means glad tidings. That does it for Greek words. Now let's talk. Some of you are saying that this Greek it means good news and it means glad tidings. So the word gospel from in Greek root means good news and it means glad tidings. Romans one sixteen. Please Romans one sixteen. I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ. It says, for it is the power of God onto salvation to everyone that believeth to the Jews first, and then to the Greek first Corinthians, Chapter fifteen, from verse one, I want to recite for you what the Bible calls the gospel, particularly the Gospel of salvation. Moreover, brethren, I declare onto you the gospel which I preached onto you, which ye also have received. And wherein ye stand, if you're writing, is to verse eight, by which ye are saved. If ye keep in memory that I preach onto you, unless he have believed in vain verse three. For I delivered onto. You first of all that which I also received. How that Christ, this is the gospel. Now Christ died for our sins, according to the scripture, was buried, and that he rose again on the third day, according to scripture. Five. And he was seen of siafas spitter now and of the twelve. After that, he was seen of about five hundred brethren at once, of whom a greater part remain onto the present, but some have fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James and of all the apostles. Eight. And last of all he was seen of me as of one born of due season Ali Lujam. So the Bible here talks about the Gospel, and I made a comment here that I would always observe this. We made differ in any other area. I know that from a denominational standpoint, we differ across major beliefs and practices. We differ across our models of Randy the way that we believe to exercise faith. But there is one common denominator that binds everyone who is a Christian, regardless the differences. We have differences across various subjects. I don't want to go into that. But there is one central unifier. And if you do not believe this, then you are not even a Christian. Are we together? It is called the Gospel. We may differ in every other area, but this one's This one is a centrality. This is what binds all of us together. It is called the Gospel. And there are four elements to the Gospel are running through very quickly. Number one, man's original state. Number two the fall of Man and the consequences of the fall. These are the four elements of the Gospel. Number one, Man's or original state, How was he? Number two the fall of Man and the consequences of that fall. Number three the revelation of Jesus alongside redemption, the revelation of Jesus alongside redemption or his salvation plan. And then number. Four man's response, man's response to that gift and his newfound status in Christ. I'll take that again that there are four elements in understanding the Gospel. Number one, man's original state, his state as at the time he was created Genesis one, Genesis two. Number two the fall of man, what. Happened from the fall of man, and then the consequences. Of that fall. And then number three the revelation of Jesus, who now came as savior alongside everything. That happened through redemption. His earthwork is burial, his death is burial, He's going to the grave, his resurrection, his ascension, his exhortation, all of that. That's the third level. And then number four, man's. Response to this gift and the new status or we call it the new man in Christ. These are the four things you have to understand. You have not understood the Gospel properly. If you do not understand this. I'm not going to elaborate on them, unfortunately, but you just have these four things that if you want to have a wholesome knowledge of the Gospel, you can't just peak from Jesus. No, you have to address it from the original state of man, and then the fall of man, examining the consequences of that fall. And then number three Jesus and his so the di tititionary sacrifice, purchasing. Redemption for us. And then number four man's response to that gift of salvation and the honor that is now best told upon that man in Christ. When you understand this, you have understood the Gospel a weekly on that praise God. Now for the purpose of you know, Crusades and the rest. You cannot be that elaborate and theologically in your discussion. Usually you will cut out one or more of these aspects, usually from the fall of man, Jesus, and then man's response. It can come through a story. It doesn't have to be methodically presented like I'm doing. But I'm just giving you a broad theological understanding that your understanding of the Gospel is not wholesome until you understand God's original idea, the fall of man and its consequences, Jesus and its substitutionary sacrifice, Man's response, a weay together in believing, and the new man in Christ. So write this down very quickly. The Bible tells us that God created man in his image and after his likeness Genesis Chapter one, twenty six to twenty eight, man was created seinless. Man was created guiltless. Man was created faultless until he fell. For the deception of Satan. According to scripture in the Garden of diend I'm just giving you a summary. So God's original idea for man was that he would rule and reign with him upon the earth. Let them have dominion. That dominion mandate was God's original idea. It still is his original idea. This is God's original idea. Now man fell. He fell by buying. Into the deception of the serpent, according to scripture. Now that various theological debates reading the Bible plainly talks of a fruit that he ed gave a them who act. I'm not going to go into the exegesis of what really happened, but we know according to scripture and the epistles also teach that that. It was the woman who was deceived. When Paul was teaching the church in Courage, the man was not deceived. He fell willingly because of love. Adam was not deceived. Next time you say you are falling in love. Well, use it, use it, use it if you understand what you're saying. But I'm just showing you this the original idea of falling in love. Allelujah. It literally fell in love. So Paul was teaching the church in Corinth, and he said, I hear less, Satan should be gal you with sotilty, the same way he begiled Eve in the garden. So Eve was beguiled. And then Adam came. The Bible says, if gave him and he ate, even though we know it's a fit o rerective expression, away together. And then first go intens eleven unders three. I hear less by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtility, that your mind should be corrupted from the simplicity of the gospel which is in Christ. And so Adam fell, he was not deceived. Allelujah. Then the Bible says in Eazicel Chapter eighteen and verse twenty, that there is a verdict already upon all men, that the soul that seened it shall die. Very simple, it's a verdict. Every soul that seems it shall die. And man by region of the original scene and the transmutation of that scene upon all men. The scene of unbelief, the scene of rebellion, the scene of transgression, the scene of trespass, the scene of iniquity, combined together is rendered all men sinners. There's no escape whatsoever are we together? The Bible now tells us that all have seen. This is God's conclusion according to the Apostle's Teachings Romance, chapter three and verse twenty three. All have seen, it says, and have fallen shot of God's standard, the glory of God. But then Ezekiel chapter eighteen and verse twenty three now begins to reveal the messy of God. It says, have I any pleasure at all? That the wicked should die? God is speaking to the prophet, and that he should not return from his ways and leave this right now begins to introduce the messy of God. Don't forget there is an original agenda. Man fell, and by reason of that fall he lost three things. By the way in the fall of man, he lost three things. Number one, he lost the life of God. Number two, he lost righteousness, the ability to stand in the Father's presence without a sense of. Guilt, inferiority, and condemnation. Number three, he lost capacity for dominion. These are the three things man lost. If you know what man lost, then you know what Jesus restored. I'll take that again. He lost the spirit of God, prays the name of the Lord. And then number two, he lost righteousness, that nature that gave him a right standing with God. And then he lost dominion, ultimately translating to you know, he lost relationship with God. So when Jesus came, this is what he restored to man. So the Bible says Isequel eighteen twenty three, do I have any pleasure in the death of the wicked? Because it is inconsistent with God's character to indefinitely want his children to suffer. He began to execute a plan that he had already desired from the foundations of the Earth. Now listen, it. Was not man's fault that suddenly made God to create a salvation plan. There was already that salvation. Plan, the Bible says, from the foundations of the earth, the lamb was already slain. Are we together his intelligence Remember my teaching that hiden't wisdom of God. His intelligence already fact taught that limitation and a plan was already in place. So what Jesus came to do was not to invent a plan. He came to execute a plan as a demonstration of the Father's love. Are we together now? And when he showed up in Matthew one twenty one as a baby, the world became flesh. The Bible says he came for the purpose of saving the people from their sins. Very clearly. The Bible also said in John chapter one, he says, brought as many he came to his own, and his own received him. Not John one. But as many as received him, he gave them power to be called sons of God. As many as received him. Verse eleven says he came to his own, and his own received him, not Verse twelve says as many as received him, he gave them power to become sons of God. Even to them that believe on his name are together. How did Jesus pay this price? It's a combination of his earthwork. Listen carefully. His earthwork, what we call the passion of the Christ, a capture of his sufferings, the lacerations, the betrayals, the beatings, all of them added to paying that price. Number three his death. He died ultimately number four. He's burial number five. He dissent into heads the place of death, the dead, and the victory that he purchased there. There was a warfare that happened there. I was talking a bit on it, hopefully during Easter away together that when Jesus died, he didn't just lie down, and. Then on the third day he came back to life. There was something his spirit was actually doing away together. Now he went to Heads on. As Cis said, by the Holy Spirit or assisted. By any angel. He went down there. And your Bible Paul giving us that exegesis, he said, he led captivity captive. He led captivity captive. He collected that key from Satan, defeating all the cohorts of Hell, and then he resurrected triumphantly, being the first born of wed the begotten. And he did not resurrect alone. The Bible tells us that he resurrected with all the saints who had died. They resurrected, graves were opened, and they walked through the streets of Jerusalem and everyone saw them. Can you imagine that? Imagine that something happened right now and we see people who exist their twelfth century thirteenth century, moving around the streets of Abuja. They were not even know how to relate with this world. You see that now, But that's what happened powerful. So his earthwork, his. Substitutionary sacrifice, through his passion, the beating, the communion, his dead, He's burial, his resurrection, his assanction, and his exaltation, all of these several areas. I've done a teaching on it. This is what the entire substitutionary sacrifice of Jesus captures. For many people, they just think he went to the cross. Ah the whole idea about his earthwork. There's no time I would have shown you. I will refer you to the message to listen. I've done a teaching on his resurrection. I preached that in Household of David. I think that was the convention for last year. Please do well. You can find it on our YouTube page where I taught part. One of that resurrection. That resurrection message I taught there on. The significance of his earthwork, the significance of his passion, the significance of his death. If Jesus did not die, we would not verify that he was buried and would not be able to say, oh, grave, where is your sting away? Together? He actually died, he was buried, he rose again, he ascended on high, and he's today seated. At the right hand. Or father prays the name of the Lord. And the Bible says that anyone who believes that gospel, that he did that for your sake and my sake as a savior. He took my place in death. He took your place in death so that you will stand with him. I used to say, yes and good, you took my place in death so that I would take his place in life. We are not taking his place. We're sharing the. Life with him. You see that now. You know sometimes when we started we're just copying what people were saying. But that's the power of light. We're not taking his place in life. He's not dead. He's still alive. So we are partakers. The Bible does not say we're taking his place in life. He took our place in death because we could not pay the price for our sin. But now he has. Brought us to be partakers of his life, even his divine nature. You believe that, say amen, Now let me give you very quickly as we prepare to pray five things that are contained in the Gospel. Five blessings that are contained in the Gospel. Every time you hear the Gospel and you receive it, they are essentially five blessings that are hidden and captured in the Gospel. Are you ready? Number one? The message captures within it love, love, and I write here that love is. The cure to fear. The message of the Gospel captures within it the love of the Father revealed through Jesus First John four eighteen Love. There is no fear in. Love, but perfect love cast out here because fear hath torment. Do you know what that means? When you hear the Gospel and you hear that the price for your sin has been cleared away, that your debt has been paid, paid in full, paid in fool, very powerful. Looks like the name of a book paid in fool. You find a book like that, and the person knows what he is saying, that's a book worth reading, paid in full, a revelation that there's nothing left. Everything has been paid for you in full. You see the love of. The Father demonstrated. The price has been paid. Say amen, so there is love. Listen. We live in a world where you know that when you offend someone, you will be afraid of seeing the person. Am I right on that? But when the price is being paid? Remember Jacob and Isa. When Issou was preparing to meet Jacob. Jacob had concluded that Issau. Was going to met out vengeance. On him, and he had to part with these things in case his brother would overwhelm him. But he's okay and said, no, I'm fine. I have all things that I need. So when there is offense, there's always fear, but perfect love cast out fear. Number two. What is in the message peace? I've taught it here about write it now in this series Peace with God and the Peace of God. Peace with God, Romance Fife one, the Peace of God Philippians for six. There's a difference. Peace with God. Means that my heart is at rest, there is no offense. God is not angry with me. I have peace peace. A mediator has come to make peace between me and the Father. Are we together? Listen? If you have an idea of an. Angry God, and sometimes preachers sell that idea sincerely they sell It is very fashionable to create the picture of an angry God waiting to judge you, waiting to strike you. Let me tell you the truth. That kind of God is not in your Bible. When God is angry and vets out vengeance, it is to the enemy. Now, God is displeased with the workings of men and the rebellion of their hearts. But let me tell you what God does. When he is sad about what people do, he shows them the way of salvation. The goodness of God calls men to repent us away together. When men remain in rebellion, he does not have to punish them. Rebellion itself is a roadmap that leads to petition. But the Lord is gracious and compassionate. Redefine the kind of God you believe. Knowing God as one who. Is interested in showing you love and peace does not endorse licentiousness, but it gives you boldness and confidence to come before him. God is not mad at me. That is not the God myself. God is not waiting for some thing to go wrong. And then his smiles and said, this is the consequence of not hearing me. I refuse to believe in that kind of God. I believe in a loving God. I believe in a responsible God. His name is Abba, his name is pata. He defends me. I am his investment. He has an interest in my life. If you have that kind of understanding, it does not end those weaknesses and limitations, but it gives you strength to serve God with confidence. The kind of God many believers are made to serve is the God that will make a defeatant Christian out of anybody. We serve God in fear, not knowing. You have to work per day, and sometimes you have to depend on a man of God to tell you whether your standing is going well with God or not. Where did you get that kind of theology from? God? Is not any man's personal property. Let me tell you the truth. Now there is the privilege of the election of. Grace where people have access. Are we together, but get. Away from this campaign of negativity that is sweeping across the body of Christ. God is not mad at you. There's nothing. If he did not hate you us a nonbeliever, will he hate you as a believer who is attaining onto perfection. The Bible says, he knows that we are dost carry that orientation and you will grow properly. Are we together? Don't wake up in the morning wandering and then having to run to men of God and attaining some legalistic standards. No, I know that he loves me. I know that he. Loves me, and I know that it is his desire that I attain onto perfection. Experientially, I am governed by his love away together. Imagine a parent and a. Child, and the child lives perpetually under the awareness of the torture of the parents. There are legal people here. There is a penalty for that kind of thing. We call it abuse. Am I right from that? And there are institutions globally set up to deal with that kind of case where a parent perpetually becomes a threat to the child. The child may not have the power, but he keeps directing the psychology of that child. If physically it does not work with family, why should it work with your work with God. It's a dangerous theology. It comes out of an appetite. To look exception. Now, did you hear what I'm teaching you? That theology of stratifying people before God. Like God has some special people, then God has orders, Then there are orders. It comes out of an appet tide to feel special. But it's not in the Bible. God does not have grandsons He has songs among the songs he elected orders to help train the other people. It doesn't make them superior before God. I'm not more superior to you. If God has helped you and you are attaining it in a higher dimension, a level of progressive sanctification, experiential manifestation of His holiness of rightness, it doesn't make you. Better than you other person. You are just taking a better advantage. Of that grace. But there is room for everyone to catch up. So don't let anyone bully you with insecurity or rampage. No sirm that idea of being a demigod and then having sons and grandsons. God does not have that thing. I'm telling you, it doesn't work that way. Everyone from the strongest in the kingdom to the least in the kingdom, including Jesus, we are all called songs of God. It is true that the Bible says in a great house there are four kinds of vessels. Don't get me wrong, there are vessels of clay. Are we together? I am not talking about your walk, I am talking about your tatos. There are two different things. There is a difference between your tatos and your work with God. If you don't get what I'm teaching you, you will leave a defeated life every day, every day the secret to victory. If you don't believe that God loves you and that you have peace with God, how can you believe that God will use you? You won't believe it. How will you believe the tongues you are praying your original tongues? There are many other things you would not believe. You have to keep yourself in that sorry state, and sometimes. Sincerely so weomen of God. Sometimes, if we are. Not careful, we can unconsciously find joy in keeping believers in a position that makes. Them look like there's no hope of your transformation. Except you confound to my pattern of growth. It doesn't work that way. The same Lord is rich on to all ladies and gentleman. I bring you good news. You have a fad. He calls you ease before even time. He got your life worthy in his hands. That's my good news for you tonight. He knows he loves your ref. He ses is she the fock? And listen. This is how. To start teaching believers. Don't match listen, listen listen. If we passed or hear this weather orline. Don't start training believers with legalisav No, we are saved by grace. Then onto good walks. Let the people start from a standpoint of victory. Then you now start teaching them the implication of your work of righteousness and victory. Once you start with legalism, you have already produced a defeated people. Now you don't just give them the consciousness of the grace. Of God and then leave them there. You take advantage of that grace and you produce fruits that reflect that righteous nature. Are we together? That is the responsibility component of being a child of God. But you are not saved by. Worksa There is no amount of prayer that will make God like you more than he has liked you before. There is no amount of firsting that will make God like you more than there is no amount of seed. I cannot give God one billion and make him likely more than you know. My possibilities will be different because of the honor to His principles. But it is not a love issue. It's a justice issue. Is someone learning now from the lead sinner to the most righteous person here? If there is any let me tell you the truth, it is the same Lord who is rich onto all. Carry this mindset. Let it not endorse you are remaining careless, but let it give you hope that God is on your side. God is on your side. I have listened to men and women who shook their world. I know the difference between the power of God they're operated in and the power of. God we're operating. The difference is our understanding about God. When hear Husband comes before men, you would tell them, I bring you good news the kind of teaching we are selling. What is good about that news. That God hates you, that he can destroy you, that if you don't match up, there are. All kinds of consequences, you are going to die. Is that good news? Why should I repent? It's a threat. It's not good news. You are intelligent people. That is called a threat. It is not good news. But when you tell me that in sight of myself, that He still loves me, and that He's able to reach out to me and give me life, I cannot give myself, give me hope and meaning that I cannot give myself and set me on a cause. By his life, his word, and his spirits. Are we together taking advantage of His grace that I can work with him and begin to produce the fruits of righteousness and become a believer of stature. Now that is good news. Is the reason why we preach out prosade grounds and make altar calls. And only one person. Who clearly looks confused and disoriented. It comes to stand because number one, he did not understand. Every intelligent person who needs. Jesus Christ frown at that gospel because it cannot be good news. Let me tell you what makes the news good. Because you could not help yourself. It was within your If he was within your power, Jesus will not die away. Together. Now want to the lamb on the front. We raise a sound. We raise a sound for you, a God and God. Alone, hall. Listen. Do we have to wrap up what is in the message love? The love of God through Christ is revealed to all men. What is in the message peace? Peace with God Romance five one and the Peace of God Philippians four sixteen. There is a difference. Peace with God means that wall or partition is broken. He's not angry, he's not mad at you, and appeace ale has happened through reconciliation. Are we together? The peace of God is an atmosphere is a reality that is planted in your spirit, where nothing just stops you again, even in the midst of hash situations. Who can be at peace? Number four or number three? What is in the gospel. Reconciliation Romance five eleven? What is in the Gospel that message captures within it? Reconciliation Romance five eleven? Second Corinthians. Did I get that right? The Bible says, dear, please look for it for me, reconciliation Second Corinthians, five eighteen and nineteen. Give it towards please, beautiful. And all things are of God, who had reconciled ourself, been reconciled by Jesus Christ, and has given. Us the ministry of reconciliation. Now listen, please, Once it is true that God does not condone sin. He does not condemn the sinner. There is a difference between the nature and the person. Are we together provide that that person has not attained a state of willful rebellion against God? There is always hope for such a person. Are we together? Now? There is. This is the gospel reconciliation. Reconciliation number What is in the gospel Salvation now itself? The actual deliverance from eternal damnation, as Chapter four and verse twelve. Romance ten thirteen. There is neither salvation in any Romance four twelve says, for there is none other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved. And then Romance ten thirteen, for whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. What is in the Gospel. Deliverance Collosians one thirteen. The Gospel captures within it deliverance were not only saved, we are delivered. He had delivered us from the power of darkness. Take notes, now, he did not just save us from sin. He extended it to deliver us from the power of darkness, and then translated us into the kingdom of his dear son. What else is in the Gospel dominion? Dominion is hidden in the Gospel Romance five seventeen. I like this five seventeen Romance. For if by one man's offense death reigned by one, much more they which receive abundance of graces and the gift of righteousness shall reign in life. Say I reign one more time? Shouty, say I reign. In other words, by reason of the Gospel salvation. Being in Christ, I have been equipped with capacity to be indomitable. Now, whether you step into. The experience of that or not is what the teaching ministry is supposed to do. Are we together helping you gradually like a midwife or sharing you into the experience of that? But whether or not it is captured in your life, it remains a fact based on the authority of God's word, that you have been given access to reign in life. Please listen carefully. The gospel, therefore, is a revelation of the Father's love, a revelation of the Father's love demonstrated in and through the substitutionary sacrifice of Jesus. Are we together Man and creation? Being that object it was intended to affect man and then creation. What is man's response to that gospel that when you hear of these good news that number one, you have been alienated through the same nature, and by reason of that you are only doomed for death. Are we together now? And the only way to be reconciled to the Father, the only way to be set free from the penalty. The consequences of seeing both now and eternity is that you acknowledge and accept this gift, the wholesome gift of his substitutionary sacrifice from his death, that when he died, he did not die for himself. When he was buried, he had you in mind when he said it is finished. He had you and I in mind. When he resurrected by the glory of the Father, it was for your justification. And now that he's exalted as Lord and Christ, he's taken you with him in the spirit, and he's made. You to sit with him in Christ. And that if you believe that gospel and place your faith as frail as scattered are we together, as in consequential as your life may be, as defeated as you. May be, you may have lived all kinds. Of pasts, your life may have degenerated to whatever level, but that at the instance on. Hearing this news, if you believe that I know that your love for me is true, and I want to give you a chance with my life, the Bible declares, and this is by the authority of God's word, that if you will believe, believe that news in an instant has nothing to do with your feeling, a miracle happens to your spirit. Man. That miracle is number one, your sins are forgiven. Number two, you receive. That imputation of God's righteousness. And number three, you have access by the spirit to His life. That life will call us away, and that begins your journey into victory, into dominion. That is not the end of it. Now a disclaimer. There are people, unfortunately, and I must say this before we wrap up, who have abused. They've made to not the teaching of the grace of God because. It has not produced fruits that will abide. It has seemed to give people a license to do anything they want to do with their lives. And there have been all kinds of pseudo expressions of the grace message that has not proven to be profitable for the believer. It has given license for all kinds of things. You see, the fruits that come from that theology are people who are canal, careless, not serious, not spiritual, and clearly going to hell. This is not what we're advocating. However, the other side of the pendulum is legalism, where you teach people that it is by the works of the law. So, in an attempt to balance what we have known as hyper grace, we have created and not as schedule of error and pain and slavery to God's people. The gospel is truly too good to be true. And no matter how you feel, you do not have the power to add anything toward Jesus has done. But when you come into the kingdom there are responsibilities. You take advantage of the grace of God and produce the works of righteousness, the fruits of righteousness. At that point, it is not by your power. It is a product of superior understanding. It is a product of the scene of the spirit and the outworking of that anointing within you. When you are saying, eternal life comes with and anointing. Within you that produces christ like character. Together and then the engreasing of God, sponsored also by its spiritual intelligence. You now know that I have a role to play. This is where sacrifice comes in. This is where surrender comes in. This is where consecration comes in. This is where pressing to know Him more and to serve Him more comes in. But never begin the believer's journey with legalism. They come before. Jesus as helpless as they are, and then they receive of His life. They receive of. That seed of empowerment through discipleship. The old man that thoughts that thinking, That lifestyle the software that powers the old nature. So the old. Nature goes by your concession, but the old software does not disappear immediately. The old software works with transformation. So you can have new. Life in Christ and still have an old software. You see that they're not compatible. That is what makes Christians to behave like own believers. So he has the life of. God, but he's not content that for transformation, nor does he think. It is necessary. You will see one who you saw him getting born again, But everything that still immates from his life are the fruits of the former life. You need a new nature and a new programming. Say new nature, say new programming. One last time, new nature and new programming. The nature happens instantly, but the transformation is a gradual process. And to the. Degree to which you submit to that transformation, you will now begin to see the fruits. The benefit. Your life begins to show the value of what your spirit received. If you are not transformed, your life will give you a bad picture of God's substitutionary sacrifice, because your life will be full of powerlessness canality. There will be nothing in your life that shows the advantage of being a Christian. So anytime you see a Christian who purports to be born again and every aspect of his life is pointing to the devil, it may not necessarily be that his salvation is in doubt. Is that he's not stay to be mentored to understand how to use that anointing within him to number one, produce christ like character. And then, by the wisdom. Of the spirit, begin to build an excellent spiritual life. Do you understand me so far? So? The one who. Teaches licentiousness taking advantage of the grace of God and renderingly to not is in error. But the one who teaches legalism that it is by what you do alone you are accepted. No, the first basis of your acceptance is Christ. Your works can be rewarded. And the differences will be clear, But you stand as the righteousness of God in Christ. No matter how many days I first and I pray, I never first and pray. For God to love me more. No, it's wrong theology. I never first and pray so that you will consider me special. He's already done that. Why do I then first and pray? Why do I then work with the world? Why do you then prass for perfection. I will tell you so that you will become a vessel meet for the Master's use. Now, when it has to do with the work of the kingdom, vessels differ, the possibilities differ, and that's where sacrifice comes in. Away together. But as far as Tatos is concerned, there is nobody who has a greatert Tatus than anyone. It's the same blood. The same Lord is rich. Onto all, rise upon your feet. There is no difference between the Greek lid the scripture there between the Greek the same Lord is real, which it's called the riches of his grace, the. Riches of his grace. Please look at me. How many of you know that is the same oxygen all of us? Brief talk to me. Is there a special oxygen in the air somewhere for a rich man? The same oxygen? But how many of you know that the quality of a rich man's life is still different from a poor man. That's how salvation is. That oxygen, you see is the riches of his grace. But somebody took advantage of that oxygen and engaged his mind well made quality decisions and redefine his possibilities. You call him a rich man or, a privileged. Person and not a person took advantage of the same air. Are we together now? So what you make out of your salvation experience now is no longer God's fault. Some can take advantage of that grace and turn it to licentiousness. Some can take advantage of that grace and not attains toucho. But others can. Receive it, and in gratitude they will investigate and bring back foods thirtyfold, sixtyfold, hundredfold. Lift your hands and thank him for salvation. Lift your hands and thank him for his substitutionary sacrifice, the riches of his grace. Thank him because fear is gone. Fear is gone in the name of Jesus. You have a right standing with God. He is a father that loves you sincerely. He desires your good. Your growth is. An advantage to his program. He can do without you, but he has chosen to incorporate you. You are his investment. He has an interest in you. It doesn't matter what has happened in your life. There is still a way you can start upfresh again. Are you still thanking him? Father? Thank you for what you have done for me. In Christ, You've given me a status. That I cannot end, not by any manifestation of the flesh. It is a product of your messy and grace. Second prayer, and then I make another call. Now I like you to pray and say, Lord, I will not abuse your grace away. Together that the grace that I have received, I obtain wisdom from the spirit to make good use of it, to build a life that gives you glory through my walks. There is works. It does not happen at the point of salvation, but it happens in manifesting the glory of God. Efficients Chapter two one, verse ten. We are His. Workmanship recreated in Christ onto good walks. John fifteen and or Matthew Chapter five and verse sixteen. Let your life so shine before men that they may see your good walks. There are many people. The moment you hear the idea of walks, you think we're talking of legalism. No, there is the works of the law, there's the works of the flesh, there's the walks of righteousness. The three different things, the outworking of the grace of God, living an excelling life. When you pray, it is because you are. Participating in the process that builds you to become a wholesome Christian. When you first, it is because you are taking advantage of that grace of God and that consciousness. You have seen the standard and you are working with the Holy Spirit to become an experiential manifestation of that standard. But as far as the love issue. Is concerned, setulity in your heart. Even if God rejects you. He does not reject you because of hatred. He rejects you because you made your choice. Everybody who die without Christ today was not hated by God. He loved them enough to give them an opportunity to make their choice. And since they did. Not choose Him, the consequences. Of rebellion will go with them. Do you understand? Let me make another call. Everyone, please stand. You've heard me teach about Jesus. There are three groups of people tonight. Number one, you know that your life is not what it should be. That if the trumpet sounds today, you know that your wyts are not right with the Lord. Number two, there are those who have been born again. But like I said, the truth is that your life. You cannot say you're a Christian by your lifestyle, and don't say it does not matter you cannot say you're a genuine Christian. Number Three, there are those who are saying, apostle. I am really confused right now. I've listened to all kinds of things. I don't consider myself a bad person, but I cannot say I have a right standing with God. You can find tonight the assurance of salvation. Please take tonight very seriously. I'm going to count one to five. Please all those who belong to any of these three groups that you're saying, apostle, I'm tired of living my own life, my way. I want to receive this gift of righteousness. Wherever you are, make your way to the front. I'm counting one to five. Be bold enough and come before Jesus. God bless you. I see my dear sister coming. God bless you, sir, God bless you. God bless you. Coanoni. Are you still clapping for them? This is a good news that what you could not do for yourself, Ladies and gentlemen, the Father loved you enough and gave Jesus, and Jesus came. He died, he paid the price. Now victorious, He's extending his hand to you and saying, if you will come to me, I will give you a new beginning. Let's keep clapping their coming one two. No matter how your life has been, you can find salvation tonight. Sing that song for me. Worth is a lamb. Lamb, keep coming. See free? Are you coming? God? Bless you were? Queen man you mean Jeesus? Keep coming? Laugh where. Come? Let's celebrate these words. They're coming to Jesus, just savior of your soul. I'm telling you you can start up fresh. With him tonight and he will redefine your life. In the name of Jesus. Let me speak to someone who is falling online. I sense in my spirit that someone is just sitting, maybe on your couch, just following, and you are telling yourself. Is this true? What this man of God is saying? Is this what Jesus did? I thought I would have to walk my way into gaining acceptance from him, But now I'm learning that he went ahead as a demonstration of his love to die for me, not to endorse my state, not to endorse my lifestyle, not to endorse my carelessness, but to give me hope that my ability cannot give me. If that is what you are thinking, then you heard the truth as I lead these ones in this decision. Please, I like you to lift your hands in your house, following in your you know your device. Don't waste this opportunity. His love is eternal, but I want you to know that there is always a window of opportunity, and the window of opportunity is called your lifetime. The moment your days are over, based on your authority of scripture, that opportunity is closed forever. His love remains eternal, but the opportunity is not eternal. This is why we advocate all the time. You don't have all the time to receive the gift. Again. His love remains eternal, but the window to accepting that gift is not eternal. Lift your hands, my brothers and my sisters. Say this up time me, as loud and as clear as you can. Say Lord Jesus, tonight I have heard your word. Look, make sure you mean what you're saying. Don't just recite a poem meanly from your heart. Don't let the devil make you feel you are just king Gibrish. No Jesus is in this place. Just imagine that there's no one in this room, just you and him. Now say it again, say Lord Jesus, tonight I have heard your word. I believe that you are the son of God. I believe that you died for my sin. I believe that you rose again for my justification. I receive Jesus into my heart as my Lord, my Savior, and my King. I declare that the power of sin. Say to that hell and the grave is broken over my life. I'm a child of God. From tonight and forever, Amen, keep your hands lifted. Father, thank you for this one.
