1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,120 Welcome to NECF Sermons. 2 00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:11,200 Each message here is designed to uplift and strengthen you in your walk with God. 3 00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:16,800 Don't miss out, stay with us until the end for our rewarding experience. 4 00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:20,480 Let's dive right in. 5 00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:24,760 In a way to introduce some of the things that we'll be discussing and then going through 6 00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:33,520 the Scriptures, we understand that Christ spoke from the Scriptures. 7 00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:38,160 And we understand that when we say the Scriptures, we don't mean Old Testament and we don't 8 00:00:38,160 --> 00:00:40,540 mean New Testament. 9 00:00:40,540 --> 00:00:45,960 We also understand also that we've been taught, if you have been in this church, we've been 10 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:53,160 taught that both Old Testament and New Testament are all Scriptures. 11 00:00:53,160 --> 00:00:57,160 And we also understand why we say they are all Scriptures. 12 00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:02,680 We established that one is because they were not a product of man's will. 13 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:06,160 They never originated from the will of man. 14 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:07,160 Hallelujah. 15 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:13,040 And the prophets spoke as they were inspired by the Holy Ghost. 16 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:18,360 And we also understand also they are all Scriptures because they carry one message. 17 00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:19,800 And what is the message? 18 00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:25,040 The message of Christ concerning Jesus. 19 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:32,920 So why Matthew is the Scripture, why Genesis is also a Scripture, is because they were 20 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:36,640 never from the origin of man's will. 21 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:38,440 Praise God. 22 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:46,000 Secondly, we also understand that as many that were canonized, the books that were canonized 23 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:51,960 for us today, that we are going through, right, and we pull all together, we understand also 24 00:01:51,960 --> 00:02:00,000 that all the saints came or the prophets spoke or the apostles spoke as they were inspired 25 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,540 by the Spirit of God. 26 00:02:02,540 --> 00:02:07,520 We also understand that all of them have one message. 27 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:11,280 And the message is about who concerning Christ. 28 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:12,280 Hallelujah. 29 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:13,360 Praise God. 30 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:19,560 So we also say, so when I take New Testament and I'm reading New Testament, actually what 31 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:24,280 you're doing is that you are actually reading the Old Testament. 32 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:25,280 Hallelujah. 33 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:26,280 Why? 34 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:32,480 Because we see the Old Testament and the stories that we see revealed now by the Spirit of 35 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,100 God in New Testament. 36 00:02:34,100 --> 00:02:39,360 So I'm using Old Testament and New Testament now because of, you know, this teaching now, 37 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:40,360 right? 38 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:48,200 See, when Moses wrote Genesis, he didn't intend that it will be an Old Testament book. 39 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:53,600 When Paul wrote his letters, he didn't say, I, Paul the apostle, a servant of Christ, 40 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:55,440 am writing to the church in Ephesus. 41 00:02:55,440 --> 00:03:01,680 You, this letter of mine, in time to come, classify it as a New Testament. 42 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:02,680 No. 43 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:08,880 So translators will sit down in a way to help us, right, and put the thoughts now, they 44 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:14,200 will now put everything and then we have the classification of Old Testament that was and 45 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:19,480 New Testament and then further now divided into chapters and verses. 46 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:21,480 And I gave us an assignment. 47 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:27,160 I don't know whether anyone was able to go and check, right, to go to a Bible without 48 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:32,120 chapters and verses just to read, even if it is one page, right? 49 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:37,880 You will be able to now see all the things that we said on Sunday. 50 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:44,600 So, we also established Christ got that from where? 51 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:51,520 For him to say all authority in heaven and in earth has been given to me. 52 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:52,760 Where did he get that from? 53 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:54,480 Or all power? 54 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:56,960 We said from the scriptures. 55 00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,180 How did we know from the scriptures? 56 00:03:59,180 --> 00:04:01,720 We now read Luke 24. 57 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,720 Everybody, let's go to 24. 58 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:09,680 Luke 24, from verse 25. 59 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:16,240 Then he said unto them, O fools and slow of heart, to believe that all that the prophets 60 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:27,360 have spoken, or not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory. 61 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:37,840 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures 62 00:04:37,840 --> 00:04:42,880 the things concerning himself. 63 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:43,880 Verse 44 now. 64 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:50,240 And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you while I was yet with 65 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,680 you, that all things must be fulfilled. 66 00:04:53,680 --> 00:05:01,840 All the things must be fulfilled, the things that the prophets and Moses have spoken about, 67 00:05:01,840 --> 00:05:08,200 inspired by the spirit of God, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, 68 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,920 and in the psalms concerning me. 69 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,120 So we can put that verse like this. 70 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:19,720 Brethren, while I was yet, O from verse 44, and he said unto them, These are the words 71 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:27,240 which I spake unto you while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled from 72 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:31,240 the scriptures concerning me. 73 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:32,240 Amen. 74 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:40,360 And then he opened their understanding that they might understand what the scriptures, 75 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:46,520 that they might understand what Moses said, that they might understand what the prophets 76 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:48,880 said concerning who? 77 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:52,480 Concerning me, concerning Christ, concerning himself. 78 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:59,880 So Christ now, having also have an understanding of the scriptures, now you see, you see it's 79 00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:06,000 a dangerous thing for the believer to have utterances that are ignoramus. 80 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:11,520 When I say ignoramus, he now is just saying things because people are saying it. 81 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:15,680 Your identity as a believer must be validated by the gospel. 82 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:17,960 Did you hear what I said? 83 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:23,440 He said in him, in us, in us, we always said, in him we live, in him we move, in him we 84 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,960 have our being. 85 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:31,720 Your life as a believer must be within the environment of God's word. 86 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:37,680 Our actions, our thoughts, it's a being of big, do not be conformed to the patterns of 87 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:46,080 the world, Romans chapter 12, but be it transformed by the world, by the renewing of your mind. 88 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:51,040 Your mind being transformed, being renewed by what? 89 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:52,520 By God's word. 90 00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:57,160 All the things that participate in life and godliness has been given to us, right, through 91 00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:01,760 the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ, our Lord. 92 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:10,320 So the knowledge we have must be standing or must have a source from the scriptures. 93 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:16,320 So there was a time in this church we had a thing, effective, I think effective Christian 94 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:17,320 life, right? 95 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:21,840 Yeah, it is one of these years that we had a thing, effective Christian living or effective 96 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:23,720 Christian life, one of it. 97 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:29,760 So that word effective Christian life, every Christian life is supposed to be effective. 98 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:34,120 But when we see 1 Corinthians, for example, 1 Corinthians chapter 3, it's happening in 99 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:41,120 your life, right, where you ought to be spiritual, but now you are acting as canal, right? 100 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:46,760 Be now understand that your knowledge is faulty regarding the scriptures. 101 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,680 Your communications, your sayings are what? 102 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:51,000 Are faulty. 103 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:56,040 So Jesus could not be speaking because he felt he is Christ. 104 00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:59,080 No, Jesus will have to be speaking from where? 105 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:00,440 From the written word. 106 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:03,440 The believer must operate from the written word. 107 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:04,440 That's what I've been saying. 108 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:10,880 That is where we, that is the manual for our operation from the written word. 109 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:16,800 And so now we are realized that the scriptures are concerning Christ, right? 110 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,800 And we now read 1 Corinthians chapter 15, everybody. 111 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,480 1 Corinthians chapter 15. 112 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:23,480 Thank you, Holy Spirit. 113 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:29,360 This evening I came, you know, experienced some symptoms of headache, but the symptom 114 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:30,360 is gone now. 115 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:31,360 Hallelujah. 116 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:32,360 Yes, it's gone now. 117 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:33,360 I can't feel it again. 118 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:36,800 1 Corinthians chapter 15 from verse 3. 119 00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:42,760 For I deliver unto you first of all that which I also received. 120 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:49,160 Now you see how that Christ died for our sins according to what? 121 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:50,600 According to the scriptures. 122 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:51,600 Hallelujah. 123 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:57,160 So which means the scriptures, how Christ died, the scriptures spoke about it. 124 00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:58,160 Amen. 125 00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:04,680 Verse 4, and that he was buried and that he rose the third day, we are reading 1 Corinthians 126 00:09:04,680 --> 00:09:12,400 15, verse 4, and that he was buried and that he rose again the third day according to the 127 00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:13,400 what? 128 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:16,120 According to the scriptures. 129 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:21,080 And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve and then the communication continues. 130 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,440 How that Christ died according to what? 131 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,040 The scriptures. 132 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:31,080 And Jesus now is saying, you know, Moses and the prophets spoke my sufferings and how I 133 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,680 will enter into my glory. 134 00:09:33,680 --> 00:09:34,760 Amen. 135 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:41,400 And he opened their understanding that they may understand all these realities. 136 00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:46,960 So the reality of what we are doing when we go through the word, when we are taught in 137 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:52,480 the words, you know, to understand the word of faith is that we understand our reality 138 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:53,960 in Christ. 139 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:55,880 We understand our reality in Christ. 140 00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:59,040 Now we also start to understand on something. 141 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:00,040 Right? 142 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:01,760 Can we go to Acts chapter 19, everybody? 143 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:03,640 Acts chapter 19, verse 20. 144 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:06,240 Acts chapter 19, verse 20. 145 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:10,120 So mightily grew the word of God and it what? 146 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:11,600 And it prevailed. 147 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:12,600 Hallelujah. 148 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:17,400 At this time, Paul was not teaching from Ephesians. 149 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,920 Paul was not teaching from Galatians. 150 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:24,440 He wasn't teaching from Romans. 151 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:26,560 Paul was teaching from Genesis to what? 152 00:10:26,560 --> 00:10:27,560 To Malachi. 153 00:10:27,560 --> 00:10:28,560 Praise God. 154 00:10:28,560 --> 00:10:37,480 Can you imagine that Paul could preach so mightily and the knowledge and the influence 155 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:44,080 of Genesis to Malachi, hew in the city in a span of two years. 156 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:50,320 It grew that in all of, go to verse 10, everybody go to verse 10, go to verse 10, 19, 10. 157 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:58,840 And this continued by the space of two years so that all day which dwelt in Asia had the 158 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:02,320 word of God in Ephesians and in Galatians. 159 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,520 Is that what it means? 160 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:05,520 No? 161 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:11,040 Had the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and what? 162 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:12,920 What is the word of the Lord there? 163 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:14,920 What is the word of the Lord Jesus? 164 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:16,720 Genesis to Malachi. 165 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:18,920 Acts chapter two now. 166 00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:20,560 Let's immediately see Acts chapter two. 167 00:11:20,560 --> 00:11:21,920 Acts chapter two. 168 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:27,600 Immediately when Peter stood to speak, Acts chapter two, you're going to see lots and 169 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:32,960 lots of statements from Genesis to Malachi, verse 14. 170 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:39,440 But Peter standing up with the eleven lifted up his voice and said unto them, Ye men of 171 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:47,000 Judea, all that dwell as Jerusalem, be these known unto you and hearken to my words. 172 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:53,520 For these are not drunken as yet supposed, seeing it is for the third hour of the day. 173 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:57,680 But this is that which was spoken by who? 174 00:11:57,680 --> 00:12:00,280 By prophet Joel. 175 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:01,280 Hallelujah. 176 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:11,200 And it shall come to pass in the last days, said God, I will pour out of my spirit upon 177 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:18,120 how many flesh, upon all flesh, and your sons and daughters shall prophesy. 178 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:19,120 Can you see? 179 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:26,240 Peter is speaking about a present reality and he's saying that these happenings that 180 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:32,480 you're seeing happening now, they are happenings that actually are validated from what the 181 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:34,600 prophets have spoken. 182 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:41,240 So when we read Joel chapter two, right, you can see the fulfillment of those promise, 183 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:42,240 the prophecy. 184 00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:45,160 And you know Peter didn't stop there. 185 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:47,520 He continued verse 25. 186 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:49,080 He cared about David. 187 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:54,960 For David's care concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is 188 00:12:54,960 --> 00:13:00,200 on my right hand, that I should not be moved. 189 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:01,840 Where was he speaking from? 190 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:09,200 From verse 16, verse 8, you see, that Peter could preach the gospel from Genesis to Malachi 191 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:10,440 and verse 38. 192 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:18,560 Now then Peter said unto them, Repent and baptize every one of you in the name of Jesus 193 00:13:18,560 --> 00:13:20,680 Christ. 194 00:13:20,680 --> 00:13:26,520 For the remission of sins and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. 195 00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:32,640 For the promise is unto you and to your children and to all that are far off, even as many 196 00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:35,200 as the Lord our God shall call. 197 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:41,840 And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this 198 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,840 unto all generations. 199 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:49,080 See verse 21, verse 21. 200 00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:55,600 Then they that gladly received his words, his words, which words? 201 00:13:55,600 --> 00:14:05,520 The teachings from Genesis to Malachi, from Moses and the prophets concerning Christ. 202 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:10,680 And the same day there were added unto them about how many thousand souls? 203 00:14:10,680 --> 00:14:14,160 Three thousand souls. 204 00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:21,400 Where did he preach the gospel concerning Christ from Genesis to Malachi? 205 00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:27,120 So we ought to come to a point that when we read Genesis, please have this mindset, the 206 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:29,960 way to go through Genesis to Malachi. 207 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:33,120 Let your eyes be there where you will see Christ. 208 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:36,520 You will see Christ written in the words. 209 00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:42,760 That is why in the cell meeting, you see, let me encourage us now, do as much as possible 210 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:44,520 to join the cell meeting. 211 00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:49,880 If you're on this platform and you have not been attending the cell meeting, you are spinning. 212 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:51,360 You know what I said? 213 00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:52,360 You are what? 214 00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:53,360 You are spinning. 215 00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:58,400 You are depriving yourself of spiritual growth. 216 00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:00,600 Attend the cell meeting. 217 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:02,800 Attend the cell meeting. 218 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:04,280 Attend the cell meeting. 219 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:06,120 We have treated the gospel in numbers. 220 00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:08,880 We have treated gospel in the autonomy. 221 00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:12,960 So me, when I read numbers, I don't see Jesus there. 222 00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:16,200 When I read, so the last time I read the autonomy, I didn't see Jesus. 223 00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:21,520 But then sister, if you continue the pattern of the life you're living, you will not see 224 00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:23,600 Jesus even in Matthew. 225 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:25,000 You won't see Jesus there. 226 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:29,760 So you have to be part of the local church. 227 00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:33,440 You have to be part of the meetings where you are taught and trained in the word of 228 00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:34,440 righteousness. 229 00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:36,160 That is how we mature. 230 00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:40,640 Then we learn to exercise these spiritual things. 231 00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:48,320 And I'll say on Sunday, there are background stories to the scriptures because it's one 232 00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:49,320 message. 233 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:50,320 Hallelujah. 234 00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:53,520 Revelation cannot be removed from John. 235 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:57,200 1 John, 2 John, 3 John, same author. 236 00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:59,600 I want to understand the book of Revelation. 237 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:04,480 The background story I should read all through is 1 John. 238 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:08,560 I want to understand the background story of what the apostles have written. 239 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:09,760 Let me go to Acts. 240 00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:14,180 I want to understand the book of Acts, the eyewitness account. 241 00:16:14,180 --> 00:16:17,560 Let me go to Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, eyewitness account. 242 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:18,560 Amen. 243 00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:21,080 I want to understand Matthew, Mark, Luke, John. 244 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:22,720 I go to Genesis to where? 245 00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:24,080 To Malachi. 246 00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:32,880 Same story, same, let me use the words, same actor, same person, same man, Jesus Christ. 247 00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:38,480 When you read Matthew chapter 1, Matthew chapter 1 began to give us the generations of where? 248 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:41,280 The generations of Christ. 249 00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:46,600 How Christ was raised from, let's go to Matthew chapter 1. 250 00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:51,040 The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David. 251 00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:56,320 You see, it is the son of Joseph on the earth, as it were. 252 00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:58,960 The son of David is a prophetic statement. 253 00:16:58,960 --> 00:16:59,960 Hallelujah. 254 00:16:59,960 --> 00:17:04,480 The son of David, the son of Abraham, prophetic statement. 255 00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:07,640 Where are we getting this prophetic statement? 256 00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:15,600 See now, let's now go, because it is very important for us that we are able to read 257 00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:21,960 the book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham. 258 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,480 So how did this statement come from? 259 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,520 When we now go to Genesis chapter 12, right? 260 00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:34,680 Now Genesis chapter 12, now the Lord said unto Abraham, get thee out of thy country 261 00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:42,720 and from thy kindred and from thy father's house unto a land that I will not show thee. 262 00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:50,400 And I will make of thee a great nation. 263 00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:53,280 Jesus wasn't speaking about Isaac here. 264 00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:57,880 He wasn't speaking about, the God wasn't speaking to Abraham about Isaac. 265 00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:00,520 He wasn't speaking about Abraham about Ishmael. 266 00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:02,600 He was speaking about Jesus. 267 00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,840 This is where the promise came from, this is where Christ was traced from. 268 00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:11,760 He said, and thou shalt be a blessing and I will bless them that bless thee and cause 269 00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:13,760 him that cause thee. 270 00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:16,560 Everybody now pay attention to this statement now. 271 00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:27,200 And in thee shall all the families awake of the earth be blessed. 272 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:28,200 Hallelujah. 273 00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:32,920 This statement wasn't a biological statement. 274 00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:39,000 The last time I checked myself, I asked my dad in my fourth year, I think fourth year 275 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:45,880 or third year, first semester, we're treating a topic, one of the courses, anthropology, 276 00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:46,880 right? 277 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:47,880 We're studying anthropology. 278 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:51,740 So anthropology and genetics. 279 00:18:51,740 --> 00:18:57,040 So in anthropology, what happens is that, you know, it's a study of generations, right? 280 00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:00,280 So we'll go back to study generations and genetics. 281 00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:06,120 And then we want to see how diseases are transferred from one generation to other, how patterns, 282 00:19:06,120 --> 00:19:08,400 how lots of things are happening. 283 00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:13,880 What actually is on the lining within your genes and how they are being transferred, 284 00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:14,880 traced? 285 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:21,040 The last time I checked biologically, I wasn't traced to Abraham because I asked my dad to 286 00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:24,480 give me the names of his fathers and great grandfathers. 287 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:28,880 He gave me that tree and I didn't see how I was traced to Abraham. 288 00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:37,280 So does that mean that my family is not captured in these old families of the earth? 289 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:41,320 Because what God said to Abraham is all the families of the earth. 290 00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:43,400 I'm like, please help me, please. 291 00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:44,400 Let's use English now. 292 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:48,440 When we say all the families of the earth will be blessed because of one man, what does 293 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:49,440 it mean? 294 00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:50,440 English. 295 00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:51,440 Somebody should help me now. 296 00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:54,360 When we say all the families of the earth, okay, let me say it now. 297 00:19:54,360 --> 00:20:00,240 Let me make it so that probably when I say all the members of NECF will be blessed because 298 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:03,240 of custom with $10,000 each. 299 00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:04,240 What do I mean? 300 00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:05,800 Come on guys, I added $10,000. 301 00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:08,440 At least you can relate with that one. 302 00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:11,560 Because they are from custom, okay, number one. 303 00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:13,280 Yes, let's talk. 304 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:15,360 Because they are from custom, okay, yes. 305 00:20:15,360 --> 00:20:19,360 It means because of you are all entitled to $10,000 each. 306 00:20:19,360 --> 00:20:25,560 Because of me, everybody is entitled to $10,000 each. 307 00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:29,960 For which means that whether you like it or not, you cannot escape these $10,000. 308 00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:36,120 Yes, as a result, everybody go to your chat and see what the assets everybody is dropping. 309 00:20:36,120 --> 00:20:39,920 We received the $10,000 because of your use. 310 00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:41,960 There is no exception. 311 00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:43,840 Thank you, Samuel. 312 00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:44,840 Everyone must benefit. 313 00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:49,560 Pastor Vito said I will come and collect it too. 314 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:50,680 Can you imagine? 315 00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,960 So which means nobody can escape it. 316 00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:55,440 For today, Takunda is from Zimbabwe. 317 00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:56,440 He is not an Israelite. 318 00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:57,440 Sorry. 319 00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:01,080 Does it mean that the Scrinters have not been fulfilled about him? 320 00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:02,080 No. 321 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:08,120 So God will have not been speaking in English terms. 322 00:21:08,120 --> 00:21:14,680 God will have not been giving Abraham these words as it were literally. 323 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:20,200 He was giving a spiritual communication to Abraham. 324 00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:24,200 And that spiritual communication was about Christ. 325 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:27,880 The true Christ, every man will be blessed. 326 00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:31,480 We are going to come to it because we are going to come to this scripture. 327 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:32,480 Amen. 328 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:38,120 So I needed to say we came all this way because I needed to read for us scriptures concerning 329 00:21:38,120 --> 00:21:39,120 Christ. 330 00:21:39,120 --> 00:21:44,920 When you now continue reading Matthew chapter 1 and down, you will see how Christ was raised 331 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,200 till present day. 332 00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:49,760 Where he now came, right? 333 00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:50,760 Sorry. 334 00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:52,760 He fleshed like John chapter 1 will say. 335 00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:55,640 And he became flesh and dwelt where? 336 00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:57,480 And dwelt amongst men. 337 00:21:57,480 --> 00:21:59,240 So you can see from Genesis all through. 338 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:00,720 It was about Jesus. 339 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:01,720 Hallelujah. 340 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:02,720 It was about Christ. 341 00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:04,840 But I saw wars. 342 00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:05,840 I saw this. 343 00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:15,040 You know if you are reading the old books, I will call them old books now, right? 344 00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:17,280 And then you see some dangerous things. 345 00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:19,680 I said these people were very dangerous. 346 00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:24,840 They were killing and blood was everywhere like normal. 347 00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:25,840 They saw blood. 348 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:32,520 They saw killings that were beyond your human imagination. 349 00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:39,360 But in all those activities and in all those events, the scripture never changed. 350 00:22:39,360 --> 00:22:41,240 The message never changed. 351 00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:42,240 It's about who? 352 00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:43,800 It's about Christ. 353 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:44,800 Hallelujah. 354 00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:51,480 So now before we get into the next part, then where we now read 2 Timothy chapter 3 verse 355 00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:52,480 16. 356 00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:55,480 Let's start this place like Easter day. 357 00:22:55,480 --> 00:23:02,880 1 Timothy chapter 3, all scripture. 358 00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:03,880 Hallelujah. 359 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:08,120 Now when we say all scripture, it's speaking by what? 360 00:23:08,120 --> 00:23:16,600 By inspiration of God and his word and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for 361 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:21,720 correction, for instruction in righteousness. 362 00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:28,520 The man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto how many good works? 363 00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:30,800 All good works. 364 00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:34,880 All scripture is for the benefit of the believer. 365 00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:42,760 Genesis to Malachi, Matthew to Revelation is for the profitability of the believer. 366 00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:47,120 In fact after Sunday service, one of the things that came to my mind is that, and I'll say 367 00:23:47,120 --> 00:23:53,880 it now, is that you have to run away from living your life from social media. 368 00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:56,400 Don't live from Instagram. 369 00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,120 Don't live

00:24:42,520 From God's word. 383 00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:48,520 I am not saying that when you go on social media, you will not see things that are valuable. 384 00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:51,920 Pastor Cotty, Pastor Cotty now, I'll say no more. 385 00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:54,040 Social media is a sin. 386 00:24:54,040 --> 00:25:02,240 In the next thing you'll see, hashtag Pastor Cotty, a pastor from a local assembly in, 387 00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:08,200 I'm just telling you how news is, declares that all Christians living their lives from 388 00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:11,040 this disease are sinned as. 389 00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:16,760 If you want to be totally honest, then let it come, let it come from where? 390 00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:17,760 From God's word. 391 00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:19,280 In fact, let me add one word. 392 00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:22,320 You want to be polished from God's word. 393 00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:29,160 I was speaking with somebody and the person is saying that, Saido, I came from a background 394 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:31,880 where there has been fight in my home. 395 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:35,360 My father was beating my mom and my mom was beating my dad. 396 00:25:35,360 --> 00:25:38,760 I grew up to see a lot of fights, fights everywhere. 397 00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:41,880 Where was the norm in my family? 398 00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:43,880 And then see, I had to loud it. 399 00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:46,000 I had to loud it. 400 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,360 You don't have any dysfunction in your life. 401 00:25:48,360 --> 00:25:50,200 Brother, you don't have dysfunction. 402 00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:51,880 Brother, you don't have dysfunction. 403 00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:54,040 Brother, you don't have dysfunction. 404 00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:57,480 There is no dysfunction in your life. 405 00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:02,360 You have the Holy Ghost inside you and you are living your life from God's word. 406 00:26:02,360 --> 00:26:04,040 You are separated. 407 00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:09,800 I have to take all Corinthians 5.17 because you are in Christ. 408 00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:14,000 All things are become new. 409 00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:18,080 That thing that you already are freed of called generational causes. 410 00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:26,760 Generational causes are pile of, just pile of, pile of, of unbelieving actions from our 411 00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:29,640 forefathers. 412 00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:39,640 Believing attitudes, negative behaviors, negative patterns or conduct pile up and they become 413 00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:40,640 curses. 414 00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:48,480 So when you come, you are a believer and you don't embrace God's words and you make a choice 415 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:56,120 to live and to subscribe to that kind of behavior and conduct, you will see that kind of stem 416 00:26:56,120 --> 00:26:57,120 results. 417 00:26:57,120 --> 00:27:02,640 But you see, in Christ, when we say you are the blessed and all things are become new, 418 00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:08,440 all we are declaring is that you don't subscribe to the conduct again of what you have seen 419 00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:09,840 by the outflesh. 420 00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:11,960 You are subscribing to God's word. 421 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:17,120 You are subscribing because you understand that the Holy Ghost dwells in you. 422 00:27:17,120 --> 00:27:19,680 So we live our life from God's word. 423 00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:22,280 If God says it, I believe it. 424 00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:23,960 I live by it. 425 00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:24,960 Is it? 426 00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:28,280 So guys have to live by the scriptures. 427 00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:31,160 They are post-ruthed by the scriptures. 428 00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:36,520 Every man that has walked by with God throughout in the scriptures from Genesis, Moses, all 429 00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:40,200 through to Malachi, by the scriptures, the word of God. 430 00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:42,000 How does faith come? 431 00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:43,080 Faith come by what? 432 00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:44,080 By hearing. 433 00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:45,080 Hearing how? 434 00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:46,440 Hearing the word of who? 435 00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:47,800 The word of Christ. 436 00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:50,160 So by the scriptures. 437 00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:52,360 Profitability by the scriptures. 438 00:27:52,360 --> 00:27:54,520 Doctrine by the scriptures. 439 00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:56,400 Reprove by the scriptures. 440 00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:58,440 Correction by the scriptures. 441 00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:01,920 Instruction in righteousness by the what? 442 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:02,920 By the scriptures. 443 00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:06,040 We cannot over-exercise this. 444 00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:10,960 Somebody told me, he said, sir, just last week, he said, sir, you know, I've been attending 445 00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:15,440 some couple of meetings and then people have been giving me word of prophecy, word of knowledge, 446 00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:16,440 word of this. 447 00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:22,280 But you know, for the first time I am learning to live from God's word. 448 00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:26,920 What God is saying that I don't literally have to chase prophecy. 449 00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:34,160 I don't literally have to chase that my faith source, faith, my faith source of information 450 00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:36,520 about who I am must be first. 451 00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:37,520 From where? 452 00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:38,520 From the scriptures. 453 00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:39,520 That is it. 454 00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:42,520 So now, let me say all this. 455 00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:44,600 Verse 18 now, Matthew 28 verse 18. 456 00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:46,440 Matthew 28 verse what? 457 00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:53,920 You know, yesterday I counted how many people were about 112 on the new version and I counted 458 00:28:53,920 --> 00:29:00,080 the people that read were about like 16 or 17 and that number has been consistent. 459 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:06,880 16, 17, 18, 16, 17, 18, 19, 16, 17, 18, 19. 460 00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:11,160 Same people, same faces, same name. 461 00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:12,400 How will you be profitable? 462 00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:14,120 Should I tell you? 463 00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:22,120 I told a couple of people that how you will know reading the Bible is spiritual, right? 464 00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:25,960 Just say today I want to read today's canonical. 465 00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:30,840 From nowhere a weight of sleep will come upon you. 466 00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:34,240 You were active, you were active now. 467 00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:36,560 Just say I want to read today. 468 00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:41,880 I want to see I am telling you, practice, practice this thing I'm saying. 469 00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:50,520 From nowhere a weight of sleep, a weight of laziness will come upon you. 470 00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:53,000 Aida is saying it's true. 471 00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:57,480 Please if you have experience that indicates let's see you and we'll take your name on 472 00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:00,440 the new version whether you are. 473 00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:01,440 Thank you Aida. 474 00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:02,440 Let me say it. 475 00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:03,440 Your sins are forgiven. 476 00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:06,760 However, Aida is reading it because I saw her name ticked. 477 00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:09,400 I've been seeing her name ticked so she's following. 478 00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:10,400 But I'm telling you. 479 00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:16,760 So just know that reading the scriptures is not a physical feat. 480 00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:24,840 I am telling you by the Spirit of God it is heavily a spiritual activity and that is why 481 00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:29,840 even if it's one chapter you will find it difficult to read that one chapter. 482 00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:35,680 And you see with what I just said now because it's spiritual and not physical that is the 483 00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:39,200 most more reason why you must insist in reading it. 484 00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:43,680 You must refuse anything that will stop you from reading it. 485 00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:46,200 See I am telling you you must fight it. 486 00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:47,520 You must tick it. 487 00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:51,360 If you will if you if it needs you will take water inside bucket. 488 00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:52,360 Carry water. 489 00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:55,480 Put it put your legs inside. 490 00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:57,680 If you have to kneel down kneel down. 491 00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:01,760 If you have to be walking around in your room walk around your room. 492 00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:06,800 In fact if you have to go out of your house inside this cold and be reading it go out 493 00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:12,280 and be reading it you must insist you must feed it profitability. 494 00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:17,380 You know what Paul called Timothy that your profitability will appear unto all men. 495 00:31:17,380 --> 00:31:19,040 So it cannot be hidden. 496 00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:25,400 You can give your life to the scriptures and your life will be what will be a hidden. 497 00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:31,760 So now Matthew 28 verse 18. 498 00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:39,080 Jesus came and spoke unto them saying all power in me is given unto me in heaven and 499 00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:41,680 where and in earth. 500 00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:42,680 Hallelujah. 501 00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:45,880 So the first thing we are looking at from that verse is all power. 502 00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:49,320 All power. 503 00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:55,640 So the verse says all authority all power all authority the verse has been given to 504 00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:56,640 me. 505 00:31:56,640 --> 00:32:02,160 And we understand how did Jesus got that power from from resurrection. 506 00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:12,840 Hallelujah from resurrection from resurrection how from the word authority in this fashion 507 00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:25,440 or in this verse the word authority means exeusia exeusia exeusia the Greek word for 508 00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:39,480 authority or all power there in your Bible is exeusia exousia exousia. 509 00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:45,600 So when you read in another place right there are different or varied forms of the Greek 510 00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:48,400 word for all authority or all power. 511 00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:57,360 There are about nine varied Greek words used for it because when you read in another place 512 00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:00,920 you will see that word is dunamis. 513 00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:06,880 However in their varied forms they still speak of close meaning close close meanings and 514 00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:08,720 tied to close events. 515 00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:14,160 However they will vary in the context of where they are being used. 516 00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:16,960 So in some places you will see dunamis. 517 00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:17,960 Right. 518 00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:20,680 For example let's go to Luke chapter four everybody. 519 00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:22,720 Luke chapter four verse fourteen. 520 00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:25,320 Luke chapter four verse fourteen. 521 00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:33,360 And Jesus returned in the dunamis of the spirit into Galilee. 522 00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:41,400 That power there is dunamis and there went out a fame of him through all the region round 523 00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:43,960 was round the pound. 524 00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:47,640 Right you can add this script to Matthew six thirteen. 525 00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:49,160 Matthew chapter six verse thirteen. 526 00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:50,160 We'll read it. 527 00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:51,160 Let's just read it. 528 00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:52,760 Matthew chapter six verse thirteen. 529 00:33:52,760 --> 00:34:00,560 And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil for dying for dying is the kingdom 530 00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:05,560 and the power dunamis and the glory forever. 531 00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:07,280 And what forever. 532 00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:11,320 So there are other words Greek words for dunamis. 533 00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:12,320 Right. 534 00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:19,760 And the other word is just a key. 535 00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:20,760 You know. 536 00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:21,760 Did I. 537 00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:22,760 Crap. 538 00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:23,760 Right. 539 00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:26,400 It's just a key. 540 00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:27,400 It's just I. 541 00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:28,400 S. 542 00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:29,400 H. U. 543 00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:30,400 S. 544 00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:31,400 I. 545 00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:32,400 C. H. E. 546 00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:33,400 M. 547 00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:34,400 A. R. C.

Hallelujah. 678 00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:31,400 So you see, Jesus knows that men will say otherwise. Only men that have understanding 679 00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:41,160 of the Scriptures can be able to say correctly who truly He is. So now, 14, and they said, 680 00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:47,920 some say that thou art John the Baptist. You know why they are saying this now? Because 681 00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:52,520 their understanding has not been what? Has not been opened. Hallelujah. So they will 682 00:41:52,520 --> 00:42:01,920 say, some say that John the Baptist, some Elijah, and others Jeremiah, or one of the 683 00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:07,360 prophets. Amen. Because the eyes of the understanding has not been what? Has not been opened. Has 684 00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:13,120 not been enlightened. So they will see the eyes. So they are calling Jesus a prophetic 685 00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:19,600 office. They are calling Jesus some sort of a miraculous man, because they knew Elijah 686 00:42:19,600 --> 00:42:25,240 did some miracles. They are calling Jesus John the Baptist, because they know John the 687 00:42:25,240 --> 00:42:32,840 Baptist was kind of sort of a teacher. And also, he was sort of a prophet also in their 688 00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:40,840 time. So they will say that to Jesus also. But 15 now, he now said unto them, but to 689 00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:50,920 whom? You. Whom? You. Whom say ye that I am? In this short time that you'll be with me, 690 00:42:50,920 --> 00:43:01,400 Whom say ye that I am? 16 now. And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ. 691 00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:13,320 Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. Praise God. 17. And Jesus answered and 692 00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:22,600 said unto him, Bless thou Simon Bar-Jona, for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto 693 00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:31,880 thee. But my Father, who is in heaven, verse 18 now, and I say also unto thee, that thou 694 00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:39,160 art Peter, upon this rock, which rock? Upon the revelation of what he has said, that thou 695 00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:47,560 art the Christ. Upon Christ's resurrection, upon this rock, on my resurrection, we're 696 00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:58,280 going to come to it now. I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against 697 00:43:58,280 --> 00:44:04,520 it. Hallelujah. The gates of hell is not prevailing against the purging of the church. The gates 698 00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:10,520 of hell shall not prevail against the resurrection of Christ. Hallelujah. There's nothing. The 699 00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:15,960 gates of hell cannot be able to stop Christ from being raised from the dead. And out of 700 00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:21,800 that resurrection, the church will also come. Hallelujah. And then now verse 19 now. See 701 00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:33,320 verse 19 everybody. And I will give unto thee the what? The keys of the kingdom of heaven, 702 00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:41,880 and whatsoever thou shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven. And whatsoever thou shall 703 00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:50,120 lose on the earth shall be loosed in what? Shall be loosed in heaven. Hallelujah. But 704 00:44:50,120 --> 00:44:58,760 he said thou art, verse 16 now, thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. Praise 705 00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:05,640 God. Through the scriptures, which we are going to read briefly before we go, the Israelites 706 00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:13,240 believed, they believed, some are still holding to that thought still today, that the Messiah 707 00:45:13,240 --> 00:45:20,200 will be sent by God to be able to deliver them, right? That God will send a Messiah. 708 00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:29,000 And they believe also that this Messiah will come from David, he will come from flesh, 709 00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:34,520 and he will come from God. Amen? You hear what I said? Because they know the prophecy given 710 00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:41,640 to Abraham. So they believe that there will be a Messiah, and he will be the Son of the living God, 711 00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:48,840 and he will also be from the root of David. So they hold that thought. So they believe that he 712 00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:55,000 is one that will come to be able to restore the kingdom again to them. He will be the one that 713 00:45:55,000 --> 00:46:02,200 will come and empower the Israelites. How to be the one everybody now. Let's just repeat Luke. 714 00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:08,040 I hope you will just read Luke and then hold that thought there. I will continue from there. Let's 715 00:46:08,040 --> 00:46:16,120 go to Luke chapter 24. Luke chapter 24, from verse 17. Let's go to verse 17. Let's see the 716 00:46:16,120 --> 00:46:22,440 communication. Luke chapter 24, verse 17. And he said unto them, What manner of communications 717 00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:30,360 are these that ye have one to another as ye walk and as start? And the one of them whose name was 718 00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:36,760 Cleopas, answering said unto him, Adou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and has not known the 719 00:46:36,760 --> 00:46:43,800 things which are come to pass there in these days. 19. And he said unto them, What is this? 720 00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:52,360 And they said unto him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet, mighty indeed, 721 00:46:52,360 --> 00:46:59,320 and word before God and all the people. See 20. And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered 722 00:46:59,320 --> 00:47:06,040 him to be condemned to death and have crucified him. See chapter 21 everybody now. See chapter 21. 723 00:47:06,040 --> 00:47:15,480 But we trusted that it had been he. Oh, I could just see that disappointment. Oh, and now he 724 00:47:15,480 --> 00:47:25,160 could not come back. But we trusted that it had been he which should have what redeemed Israel. 725 00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:32,840 And beside all this, today is the third day. Since these things were what? Were done. So they 726 00:47:32,840 --> 00:47:39,320 believed that a Messiah was going. You see they say we trusted. Probably we have missed it again. 727 00:47:39,320 --> 00:47:46,280 We have to wait now for another Messiah. How did they know? Why will they trust? Why will they know 728 00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:53,160 that a Messiah was to come to redeem Israel? They knew it through the prophecies, through 729 00:47:53,160 --> 00:47:59,480 communication that were passed to them from their forefathers. So they are looking at when we read 730 00:47:59,480 --> 00:48:04,520 even John chapter one, right, they had to meet John the Baptist and then met John the Baptist 731 00:48:04,520 --> 00:48:11,480 and asked him, Are you that prophet? Are you the one that shall come? Or we should look ahead. 732 00:48:11,480 --> 00:48:16,840 They are trusting. In Acts chapter one, everybody. And then we pray now. Acts chapter one. See Acts 733 00:48:16,840 --> 00:48:22,040 chapter one. See their communications. Even after still interacting with Christ, they are 734 00:48:22,040 --> 00:48:28,520 interacting with Christ. Acts chapter one. Acts chapter one verse six. When they therefore were 735 00:48:28,520 --> 00:48:38,440 come together, they asked of him and saying, Lord, will thou at this time restore again the what? 736 00:48:38,440 --> 00:48:45,160 The kingdom to Israel? These men are just concerned that something must come. You know, 737 00:48:45,160 --> 00:48:51,320 it is all about, you know, let that Redeemer appear. Let that Messiah appear. So they believe that a 738 00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:57,320 Messiah will come and that Messiah will be sent from God and that Messiah will be from the root 739 00:48:57,320 --> 00:49:04,120 of what? Of David. Hallelujah. So the word, the Son of the Living God, please write this and then 740 00:49:04,120 --> 00:49:13,240 we stop. The word, the Son of the Living God. That word, the Son, is a thou at Christ, the Son 741 00:49:13,240 --> 00:49:19,320 of the Living God. We're going to stay on that word when we're coming the next time by God's grace. 742 00:49:19,320 --> 00:49:27,000 The word, the Son of the Living God means the one who takes on the Father's authority. 743 00:49:28,600 --> 00:49:33,400 Please pay attention to this teaching. You know, the topic is blessed in the kingdom of God. 744 00:49:34,280 --> 00:49:39,800 The word, the Son of the Living God means the one who takes on the Father's authority. 745 00:49:39,800 --> 00:49:46,360 The one who takes on the Father's authority, just like inheritance. So they believed, the Jews 746 00:49:46,360 --> 00:49:52,440 believed that when he comes as a Messiah, he will carry out the responsibilities of God over Israel. 747 00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:58,120 But Jesus didn't come to carry out responsibilities of God over Israel. He came to carry out the 748 00:49:58,120 --> 00:50:05,480 responsibilities of God over all the families of the earth. Hallelujah. Praise God. So when we come 749 00:50:05,480 --> 00:50:11,800 by God's grace, we'll be built from this place. Then see how God is going to bring so much knowledge 750 00:50:11,800 --> 00:50:18,120 to us. You know, today when you say, I am the Son of the Living God, do you know what you're saying? 751 00:50:18,120 --> 00:50:24,120 You say, I'm taking, I have taken upon myself the responsibilities of God on the earth. Like Mark 752 00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:31,880 chapter 16 says, in my name, they shall cast out devils. In my name, they shall speak with 753 00:50:31,880 --> 00:50:43,400 words, new thoughts. In Romans chapter 8 verse 14, he says, as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. 754 00:50:43,400 --> 00:50:48,600 What the scripture is saying is that we are the ones that have taken on the responsibilities of God 755 00:50:48,600 --> 00:50:55,800 on the earth. We are the ones through us that God is able to influence the families of the earth. 756 00:50:55,800 --> 00:51:03,320 We are the ones through whom the Holy Ghost dwells and light will shine in dark places and in dark 757 00:51:03,320 --> 00:51:11,080 hearts of men. Hallelujah. Can we just bless God everybody? Can we just bless God? Can we just bless 758 00:51:11,080 --> 00:51:17,960 God? Can we just bless God? We just started building. We are just building. Well, can you just bless God? 759 00:51:17,960 --> 00:51:27,800 Oh, thank you Father. Be thou glorified. Be thou exalted. Thank you Lord. 760 00:51:32,200 --> 00:51:37,160 Thank you Holy Ghost for your dwelling house. Hallelujah. Thank you Holy Ghost for your opening 761 00:51:37,160 --> 00:51:43,560 eyes. Thank you Lord for revelation. We bless you Lord. Be thou glorified. Be thou exalted. 762 00:51:43,560 --> 00:51:51,080 For in Jesus name we pray. Amen. Praise God. Praise God.
