00:00:01.659 --> 00:00:05.580
Welcome to NECF. We're thrilled you're here.

00:00:06.320 --> 00:00:09.320
Make sure to stay with us till the end, where

00:00:09.320 --> 00:00:11.740
we will share some great resources to deepen

00:00:11.740 --> 00:00:15.779
your faith. Now, let's dive into this week's

00:00:15.779 --> 00:00:27.019
sermon. Amen. Therefore, living the discussion

00:00:27.019 --> 00:00:32.390
of the elementary principles of Christ, Let us

00:00:32.390 --> 00:00:39.630
go on to perfection. Not laying again the foundation

00:00:39.630 --> 00:00:44.429
of repentance from dead works and of faith toward

00:00:44.429 --> 00:00:49.469
God. Verse 2. And of the doctrine of baptisms

00:00:49.469 --> 00:01:03.909
and of the laying of hands. Verse 18. And he

00:01:03.909 --> 00:01:12.849
said, give me New King James. And he said, please,

00:01:13.069 --> 00:01:20.489
show me your glory. Show me your glory. Show

00:01:20.489 --> 00:01:29.480
me your glory. What is the glory of God? laying

00:01:29.480 --> 00:01:33.939
of what? Hence. I remember Pastor Fred taught

00:01:33.939 --> 00:01:38.560
us some times ago on the doctrine of sin. There's

00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:47.060
something so much that Moses desire. He desire

00:01:47.060 --> 00:01:50.620
to see the glory of God. What is this glory of

00:01:50.620 --> 00:01:56.579
God? What is this glory of God? Now, The word

00:01:56.579 --> 00:02:02.980
glory in Hebrew is the word kabod. K -A -B -O

00:02:02.980 --> 00:02:10.599
-D Kabod. K -A -B -O -D And it's used in the

00:02:10.599 --> 00:02:13.199
scriptures for a plethora of things, for many

00:02:13.199 --> 00:02:20.120
things. D -I -D -A -C -H -E Can refer to wealth,

00:02:20.439 --> 00:02:25.770
riches. That's the word doctrine. It also means

00:02:25.770 --> 00:02:33.629
an office or status. Splendor. Wealth, riches.

00:02:35.250 --> 00:02:40.009
It also means an office, status or splendor.

00:02:41.830 --> 00:02:44.270
This was what Moses, he says, I want to see,

00:02:44.870 --> 00:02:47.389
he says, show me your glory, show me your glory.

00:02:47.610 --> 00:02:50.729
And we've said that this glory, you know, is

00:02:50.729 --> 00:02:53.860
not... Moses has seen, has walked in power, he

00:02:53.860 --> 00:02:58.000
has walked in the miraculous. So, when it comes

00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:02.620
to, you know, the miraculous and power, he has

00:03:02.620 --> 00:03:06.120
walked in it. And let's look at the response

00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:12.699
of God in verse 19. Verse 19. He said, I will

00:03:12.699 --> 00:03:19.300
make all my goodness pass before you and I'll

00:03:19.300 --> 00:03:24.039
proclaim the name of the Lord before you. I'll

00:03:24.039 --> 00:03:30.280
proclaim the name of the Lord before you. I will

00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:35.289
be gracious to whom I will be gracious. And I

00:03:35.289 --> 00:03:36.789
will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.

00:03:38.830 --> 00:03:45.069
So we will see the word goodness. Goodness. Meaning

00:03:45.069 --> 00:03:50.810
good things. Good things. God will make his good

00:03:50.810 --> 00:03:58.650
things pass before Moses. This means that Moses

00:03:58.650 --> 00:04:02.919
will see ahead of time. You know, proclaiming

00:04:02.919 --> 00:04:05.360
the name of the Lord has to do with the works

00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:09.419
of God, has to do with what God will do. The

00:04:09.419 --> 00:04:11.819
name of the Lord refers to what God, you know,

00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:15.539
what God will do. His goodness has to do with,

00:04:15.539 --> 00:04:22.240
you know, what God will do. The good things that

00:04:22.240 --> 00:04:28.850
come from God. These good things include his

00:04:28.850 --> 00:04:35.610
graciousness, his mercy, his compassion, his

00:04:35.610 --> 00:04:39.689
graciousness and compassion. That is God's saving

00:04:39.689 --> 00:04:48.029
grace. God will make Moses to see ahead of time.

00:04:52.519 --> 00:04:56.199
In verse 20, God said, you cannot see my face.

00:04:57.379 --> 00:05:01.899
You cannot see what? You cannot see my face.

00:05:02.699 --> 00:05:08.560
For no man shall see my face and live. And oftentimes,

00:05:08.879 --> 00:05:11.060
this verse is translated that if you see God,

00:05:11.160 --> 00:05:14.740
you will die. If you see God face to face, what

00:05:14.740 --> 00:05:18.689
will happen to you? You die because nobody, this

00:05:18.689 --> 00:05:20.470
verse is saying that nobody can see God and live.

00:05:20.470 --> 00:05:24.189
And why were they astonished? They say, for he

00:05:24.189 --> 00:05:30.870
taught them as one having what? Authority and

00:05:30.870 --> 00:05:36.029
not as a what? You cannot see my face. God said

00:05:36.029 --> 00:05:38.189
you cannot see my face. Between what he taught

00:05:38.189 --> 00:05:43.149
and what... John wrote this in John chapter 1

00:05:43.149 --> 00:05:44.889
verse 18. Let's look at John chapter 1 verse

00:05:44.889 --> 00:05:48.149
18. About seeing the face of God. You cannot

00:05:48.149 --> 00:05:51.949
see my face. John chapter 1 verse 18. It says

00:05:51.949 --> 00:05:55.850
no one has seen God at any time. That means nobody

00:05:55.850 --> 00:06:01.990
has seen God physically at any time. Amen. Nobody

00:06:01.990 --> 00:06:05.829
has seen the face of God physically at any time.

00:06:08.829 --> 00:06:12.860
Then, No one has seen the face of God physically

00:06:12.860 --> 00:06:18.860
at any time. But who? The only begotten son whom

00:06:18.860 --> 00:06:22.500
is in the bosom of the father. He has declared

00:06:22.500 --> 00:06:25.920
him. So has anyone seen God physically at this

00:06:25.920 --> 00:06:30.279
moment? No. Physically no one has seen God. But

00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:34.300
how only did the begotten son have seen him?

00:06:34.540 --> 00:06:38.160
This means that the only agency by which we can

00:06:38.160 --> 00:06:42.180
see God is in Christ. Hallelujah. The only means

00:06:42.180 --> 00:06:47.399
by which we can see God is in Christ. So the

00:06:47.399 --> 00:06:51.420
word my face or the word face is a Hebrew word

00:06:51.420 --> 00:06:58.399
panim. P -A -N -I -M. P -A -N -I -M. Which is

00:06:58.399 --> 00:07:03.439
used for physical appearance. is used for physical

00:07:03.439 --> 00:07:10.939
appearance. So what Moses was asking for is that

00:07:10.939 --> 00:07:15.220
he wants to see God in the flesh. But Jesus was

00:07:15.220 --> 00:07:18.319
communicating something. What Moses is asking

00:07:18.319 --> 00:07:21.899
of God in verse 18 is that he wants to see God

00:07:21.899 --> 00:07:28.899
in the physical form as a man. He's aware by

00:07:28.899 --> 00:07:32.360
his dealings with God that God will become a

00:07:32.360 --> 00:07:39.180
man. Right from the writings we see even in Genesis

00:07:39.180 --> 00:07:44.259
chapter 1. Verse 1, you see, an idea that Moses

00:07:44.259 --> 00:07:46.639
already has about what God wants to do. That

00:07:46.639 --> 00:07:50.779
is, God will manifest himself in man. So this

00:07:50.779 --> 00:07:53.360
is what Moses was yearning to see. He wants to

00:07:53.360 --> 00:08:06.490
see God physically. He has seen God in visions.

00:08:07.069 --> 00:08:10.009
He has had encounters of visions. He has had

00:08:10.009 --> 00:08:14.149
God speak to him in different ways. But now he

00:08:14.149 --> 00:08:17.310
wants to see God how? He wants to see God physically.

00:08:20.230 --> 00:08:25.670
Now from the phrase no man shall see me and live

00:08:25.670 --> 00:08:28.689
does not mean that when you see God you will

00:08:28.689 --> 00:08:32.169
die. That's not what it means. As I said, this

00:08:32.169 --> 00:08:35.429
has been wrongly interpreted oftentimes. The

00:08:35.429 --> 00:08:39.309
word, or the phrase, and leave are translated

00:08:39.309 --> 00:08:44.269
from the Hebrew word, let me spell it, H -A rather,

00:08:44.450 --> 00:08:51.909
H -A -Y -A. H -A -Y -A. It means kept alive.

00:08:52.090 --> 00:08:56.110
It means to be kept alive. It means to be kept

00:08:56.110 --> 00:09:02.720
alive. The phrase, and live. Beware. Means to

00:09:02.720 --> 00:09:04.919
be kept alive. Look at 22 again. Let me read

00:09:04.919 --> 00:09:08.240
22. That same is in 22. Same is used in Genesis

00:09:08.240 --> 00:09:12.059
chapter 3, verse 22. Matthew 22, verse 33. Genesis

00:09:12.059 --> 00:09:16.080
chapter 3, verse 22. Matthew 22, 33. And when

00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:20.220
the multitude heard this, they were astonished

00:09:20.220 --> 00:09:22.799
at his teaching. To no good and evil. But remember,

00:09:22.840 --> 00:09:24.980
this is the same text that the Pharisees were

00:09:24.980 --> 00:09:30.080
using. And now unless he put out his hand and

00:09:30.080 --> 00:09:32.879
take also of the fruit, the tree of life and

00:09:32.879 --> 00:09:35.740
eat and live forever. That's the way it is. And

00:09:35.740 --> 00:09:39.379
live forever. To be kept alive. And live forever.

00:09:40.120 --> 00:09:44.740
Also in Exodus chapter 1 verse 16. Exodus chapter

00:09:44.740 --> 00:09:47.740
1 verse 16. The same word is used in 2 Timothy.

00:09:47.759 --> 00:09:53.419
Go to 2 Timothy 4. 2 Timothy 4 verse 2. When

00:09:53.419 --> 00:09:57.559
you do the duties. Please, let the verses be

00:09:57.559 --> 00:10:01.159
there. So that we will see it also in the way

00:10:01.159 --> 00:10:05.200
it was rendered. Don't forget, he's talking about

00:10:05.200 --> 00:10:10.600
a mode of teaching, different. And he said, when

00:10:10.600 --> 00:10:13.399
you do the duties of a midwife for the Hebrew

00:10:13.399 --> 00:10:18.580
woman and see them on a birthstool, if it is

00:10:18.580 --> 00:10:22.279
a son, then you shall kill him. But if it is

00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:26.139
a daughter, then she shall live. to be kept alive.

00:10:26.379 --> 00:10:29.179
That's where that word is also used in the scriptures.

00:10:30.179 --> 00:10:32.940
So, the way it is translated, it shouldn't be

00:10:32.940 --> 00:10:40.220
no man shall see my face and what? And leave.

00:10:40.279 --> 00:10:42.299
But it should be rather no man shall see my face

00:10:42.299 --> 00:10:46.059
and not be kept alive. Do you understand what

00:10:46.059 --> 00:10:52.440
I did here? No man shall what? The word there

00:10:52.440 --> 00:11:01.460
is kept alive, to be kept alive. To be kept alive.

00:11:02.059 --> 00:11:05.299
No man shall see my face and not be kept alive.

00:11:20.080 --> 00:11:23.360
Because when you see God, what happens to you?

00:11:23.759 --> 00:11:27.279
You have life. Hallelujah. When you see God,

00:11:27.460 --> 00:11:30.720
we see Moses teaching that in Numbers 21 verse

00:11:30.720 --> 00:11:34.360
9. We saw it earlier in Numbers 21 verse 9. You

00:11:34.360 --> 00:11:40.220
also see Moses using this concept. So Moses made

00:11:40.220 --> 00:11:43.480
a bronze serpent and put it on a pole. So it

00:11:43.480 --> 00:11:47.190
was, if a serpent had bitten anyone, When he

00:11:47.190 --> 00:11:51.210
what? When he look. Alright? This is Moses' teaching.

00:11:51.450 --> 00:11:54.870
When he look at the bronze serpent, he will do

00:11:54.870 --> 00:11:57.710
what? He will live to be kept alive. At what?

00:11:58.129 --> 00:12:02.529
At looking at the serpent, he will be kept alive.

00:12:06.000 --> 00:12:08.559
That is what Jesus made reference to in John

00:12:08.559 --> 00:12:11.220
chapter 3 verse 14 to 15. Making reference to

00:12:11.220 --> 00:12:14.940
the idea of looking and being kept alive. John

00:12:14.940 --> 00:12:17.840
chapter 3 verse 14 and 15. And Moses, as Moses

00:12:17.840 --> 00:12:20.580
lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even

00:12:20.580 --> 00:12:24.639
so, Moses, son of man, be lifted up and whoever

00:12:24.639 --> 00:12:29.220
believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting

00:12:29.220 --> 00:12:33.240
life. So looking simply means believing and being

00:12:33.240 --> 00:12:41.370
kept alive. And you live. Hallelujah. You look

00:12:41.370 --> 00:12:47.370
and you live. So Moses wanted to see the glory

00:12:47.370 --> 00:12:52.889
of God. That is God manifested in the flesh.

00:12:54.149 --> 00:12:58.090
He wanted to see the fulfillment of God's promise.

00:12:58.389 --> 00:13:05.650
God becoming a man. Let God see it not yet. Amen?

00:13:05.650 --> 00:13:11.129
Because it is not yet time. It is not yet time.

00:13:13.370 --> 00:13:16.490
This is what the scripture says about the prophets.

00:13:17.269 --> 00:13:20.049
The prophets of old, they long to see this day.

00:13:21.009 --> 00:13:24.450
They long to see this particular event. Luke

00:13:24.450 --> 00:13:27.269
chapter 10, verse 23. Luke chapter 10, verse

00:13:27.269 --> 00:13:30.730
23. The prophets that wrote in the old times.

00:13:32.490 --> 00:13:35.570
They long to see this particular event. That

00:13:35.570 --> 00:13:39.029
was what Moses was longing to see. Then he turned

00:13:39.029 --> 00:13:42.029
to his disciples and said privately, blessed

00:13:42.029 --> 00:13:49.789
are the eyes which see things you see. For I

00:13:49.789 --> 00:13:54.289
tell you that many prophets which prophets the

00:13:54.289 --> 00:13:58.590
prophets are. I know. That's why when you go

00:13:58.590 --> 00:14:02.350
down, he said that for time was three of chapter

00:14:02.350 --> 00:14:06.690
four. He said for time will come when they will

00:14:06.690 --> 00:14:10.590
not endure sound word. Oh, are we together? Yes,

00:14:10.909 --> 00:14:14.389
they will not endure sound doctrine. What did

00:14:14.389 --> 00:14:17.190
they see? They see the Messiah physically. They

00:14:17.190 --> 00:14:20.629
see God in his physical appearance. All the while,

00:14:20.769 --> 00:14:25.049
they long to see God. They long to see him manifested

00:14:25.049 --> 00:14:27.870
in the flesh because they have prophesied. By

00:14:27.870 --> 00:14:30.269
revelation, God has helped them to know that

00:14:30.269 --> 00:14:32.970
God will become man. Isaiah will speak about

00:14:32.970 --> 00:14:38.529
the humanity of God becoming a man. Daniel will

00:14:38.529 --> 00:14:42.929
speak about it. We saw yesterday. God will become

00:14:42.929 --> 00:14:48.809
man. They long to see and have not seen it. And

00:14:48.809 --> 00:14:54.190
to hear what you hear and not heard it. That's

00:14:54.190 --> 00:14:58.190
why Paul instructed Timothy to know that a bishop

00:14:58.190 --> 00:15:03.769
must never be a novice of this salvation. The

00:15:03.769 --> 00:15:07.269
prophets have inquired and searched carefully

00:15:07.269 --> 00:15:11.730
who prophesied of the grace that will come to

00:15:11.730 --> 00:15:17.409
you. He said, shake your leg, my brother. Hallelujah.

00:15:17.649 --> 00:15:20.250
Searching for what manner of time they were looking

00:15:20.250 --> 00:15:23.769
for, what time is it that this will happen? The

00:15:23.769 --> 00:15:27.210
salvation is about God becoming a man. The manifestation

00:15:27.210 --> 00:15:30.009
of God in the flesh for the salvation of mankind.

00:15:31.149 --> 00:15:34.210
Searching for what manner of time the Spirit

00:15:34.210 --> 00:15:37.970
of Christ who was in them was indicated. We've

00:15:37.970 --> 00:15:39.350
explained this. We said the Spirit of Christ

00:15:39.350 --> 00:15:43.809
was on them, right? Because at this moment, You

00:15:43.809 --> 00:15:45.690
speak as if the spirit of Christ cannot live

00:15:45.690 --> 00:15:47.789
in them. Because Jesus has not yet been glorified.

00:15:48.049 --> 00:15:52.090
So the spirit of Christ who was on them was indicating

00:15:52.090 --> 00:15:55.850
when he testified beforehand the suffering of

00:15:55.850 --> 00:15:59.129
Christ. He testified to the prophets concerning

00:15:59.129 --> 00:16:02.129
the sufferings of the Christ and the glories

00:16:02.129 --> 00:16:06.669
that will follow. To them it was revealed not

00:16:06.669 --> 00:16:11.870
to themselves but to us. They were ministering

00:16:11.870 --> 00:16:16.149
the things which now have been reported to you

00:16:16.149 --> 00:16:19.429
through those who have preached the gospel to

00:16:19.429 --> 00:16:23.710
you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. Things

00:16:23.710 --> 00:16:29.490
which angels desire to look into. Angels desire

00:16:29.490 --> 00:16:33.590
to look into. From this day that he encouraged

00:16:33.590 --> 00:16:35.769
them, he says, therefore, ride up. The lines

00:16:35.769 --> 00:16:39.190
of your mind be sober and rest your hope fully

00:16:39.190 --> 00:16:42.009
upon the grace that is to be brought to you by

00:16:42.009 --> 00:16:46.070
the revelation of Jesus Christ. Hebrews 11 verse

00:16:46.070 --> 00:16:52.490
13. This is what Moses longed to see. God manifested.

00:16:52.870 --> 00:16:58.960
He longed to see God in the flesh. Hebrew origin

00:16:58.960 --> 00:17:00.879
or the Jewish origin. These all died in faith.

00:17:00.980 --> 00:17:03.799
But bishop is of the Greek origin. Are we together?

00:17:03.919 --> 00:17:06.740
They mean the same thing. Talks about the issue.

00:17:07.200 --> 00:17:09.599
Bishop. They all died in faith. An overseer.

00:17:09.599 --> 00:17:12.000
Not having received the promises. Episcopal.

00:17:12.420 --> 00:17:16.180
You understand? So you say a bishop must be blameless.

00:17:16.259 --> 00:17:18.680
It was a promise that the Messiah would come.

00:17:18.680 --> 00:17:20.440
Come on, talk to me. It was a promise that God

00:17:20.440 --> 00:17:23.759
would become a man. A steward of what? Of God.

00:17:25.069 --> 00:17:27.869
Moses was able to see from afar. God was able

00:17:27.869 --> 00:17:30.029
to reveal to Moses by revelation. Not giving

00:17:30.029 --> 00:17:32.049
to what? To see afar. We just finished talking

00:17:32.049 --> 00:17:33.670
about wine. I haven't seen them afar of where

00:17:33.670 --> 00:17:37.470
I showed of them. Amen. Abraham saw from afar.

00:17:37.630 --> 00:17:39.369
Not violent. Isaac saw from afar. That's why

00:17:39.369 --> 00:17:41.589
we frowned at some of our brethren we heard that

00:17:41.589 --> 00:17:45.430
they fought. By revelation what God? We do. Similar

00:17:45.430 --> 00:17:48.730
with Joseph. That's the point. And Passover was

00:17:48.730 --> 00:17:51.589
saying, I think yesterday, right? He said that

00:17:51.589 --> 00:17:53.990
when you are already in the trance, that you

00:17:53.990 --> 00:17:56.450
are already a deacon. That is a pastor in training

00:17:56.450 --> 00:18:00.329
or a bishop in training. That means there's some

00:18:00.329 --> 00:18:04.609
kind of discipline. Are we together? He said

00:18:04.609 --> 00:18:08.009
he must not be violent. He must not be greedy

00:18:08.009 --> 00:18:13.039
for money. He must not be greedy for money. They

00:18:13.039 --> 00:18:17.119
will have hard opportunity to return. But now

00:18:17.119 --> 00:18:20.519
they desire something better. That is a heavenly

00:18:20.519 --> 00:18:25.619
country. So what they saw was the resurrection

00:18:25.619 --> 00:18:30.059
reality. The kingdom of God. The real promised

00:18:30.059 --> 00:18:33.500
land. He says something better. They desire a

00:18:33.500 --> 00:18:36.819
better. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called

00:18:36.819 --> 00:18:39.440
their God. For he has prepared a city for them.

00:18:39.500 --> 00:18:43.519
A city. is lazy. Those who don't want to do work,

00:18:43.539 --> 00:18:49.319
everybody cares. He that refused to walk should

00:18:49.319 --> 00:18:54.019
not eat. We see John testifying also of seeing

00:18:54.019 --> 00:18:56.480
the glory of God. So that you mark the person

00:18:56.480 --> 00:18:58.839
who is a lazy person. Once you have seen he is

00:18:58.839 --> 00:19:02.240
coming to your house frequently. Just take note.

00:19:03.480 --> 00:19:06.700
It says in the beginning was the word. And the

00:19:06.700 --> 00:19:09.579
word was with God and the word was God. Verse

00:19:09.579 --> 00:19:13.720
2. He was in the beginning with God. I'll jump

00:19:13.720 --> 00:19:18.700
to verse 14. He was in the beginning with God.

00:19:19.359 --> 00:19:33.700
Verse 14. Oh, talk to me. Does it look familiar?

00:19:34.240 --> 00:19:37.859
As he has been taught. To see the glory. The

00:19:37.859 --> 00:19:41.839
glory of God. That means there is a mode of instruction.

00:19:42.640 --> 00:19:47.000
That was in the beginning. Became flesh. And

00:19:47.000 --> 00:19:50.319
dwell amongst us. That gives life. The glory

00:19:50.319 --> 00:19:56.480
as of the only begotten of the father. Full of

00:19:56.480 --> 00:20:00.440
grace and truth. Full of grace and truth. Moses.

00:20:02.680 --> 00:20:06.880
desire to see this reality. He was hungry to

00:20:06.880 --> 00:20:11.859
see this fact, to see this reality. 2 John. 2

00:20:11.859 --> 00:20:23.200
John. Look at verse 9. So, it started from verse

00:20:23.200 --> 00:20:27.799
7. Back to Exodus. Verse 7. For many deceivers

00:20:27.799 --> 00:20:31.640
have gone out into the world. Exodus 33. Who

00:20:31.640 --> 00:20:34.640
do not confess? Now, look at the mode of the

00:20:34.640 --> 00:20:38.900
teaching. The daidahe. There are the people,

00:20:39.079 --> 00:20:44.259
look at, the mode is about Christ. In verse 18.

00:20:44.559 --> 00:20:48.779
But these people deny it. He said, who do not

00:20:48.779 --> 00:20:52.789
confess Jesus as coming in the flesh? And this

00:20:52.789 --> 00:20:56.269
is God's response. I will make my goodness to

00:20:56.269 --> 00:20:59.069
pass before you and I will proclaim the name

00:20:59.069 --> 00:21:02.309
of the Lord before you. I will be gracious to

00:21:02.309 --> 00:21:05.130
whom I will be gracious and I will have compassion

00:21:05.130 --> 00:21:07.869
on whom I will have compassion on whom I will

00:21:07.869 --> 00:21:12.829
have compassion. But he said, you cannot see

00:21:12.829 --> 00:21:17.789
my face for no man shall see my face and not

00:21:17.789 --> 00:21:22.359
live. Could be a further explanation. And the

00:21:22.359 --> 00:21:28.420
Lord said, here is a place by me. And you shall

00:21:28.420 --> 00:21:35.279
stand on the rock. Here is a place by me. And

00:21:35.279 --> 00:21:39.099
you shall stand on the rock. Verse 21. God says,

00:21:39.200 --> 00:21:46.440
here is a place by me. By me. This is a place

00:21:46.440 --> 00:21:51.509
by me. So the word place there is a Hebrew word.

00:21:52.289 --> 00:22:01.130
Makom. M -A -K -O -M. A place. Makom. Which means

00:22:01.130 --> 00:22:07.410
where to abide. It means an abode. An abode.

00:22:09.069 --> 00:22:15.410
He in me is a place to abide. And it is the same

00:22:15.410 --> 00:22:20.329
word as mone in Greek. A dwelling. John chapter

00:22:20.329 --> 00:22:23.369
14, verse 1 to 2. Let's see where John chapter

00:22:23.369 --> 00:22:28.089
14, verse 1 and 2. It is still used in John chapter

00:22:28.089 --> 00:22:34.289
14, verse 1 to 2, but in the Greek. It says,

00:22:34.289 --> 00:22:37.410
let not your heart be troubled. You believe in

00:22:37.410 --> 00:22:41.950
God, believe also in me. In my Father's house

00:22:41.950 --> 00:22:48.730
are many mansions, dwellings, Does not have who?

00:22:49.170 --> 00:22:52.269
So that means transgression means not to abide

00:22:52.269 --> 00:22:54.710
in the doctrine of Christ. What is it already

00:22:54.710 --> 00:22:58.549
we have seen in 7? He said those who deny that

00:22:58.549 --> 00:23:02.630
Jesus has come in the flesh. Those who do what?

00:23:03.250 --> 00:23:07.210
Deny that Jesus has done what? Has come in the

00:23:07.210 --> 00:23:12.650
flesh. So God for us says you shall stand on

00:23:12.650 --> 00:23:18.690
the rock. You shall stand on the rock. You shall

00:23:18.690 --> 00:23:22.289
stand on the rock. Please, I'm taking this gently

00:23:22.289 --> 00:23:30.390
and slowly so that we will comprehend. Look at

00:23:30.390 --> 00:23:33.670
verse 21. And the Lord said, here is a place

00:23:33.670 --> 00:23:36.710
by me. We know what that place is, right? And

00:23:36.710 --> 00:23:42.170
you shall stand on the rock. Because in their

00:23:42.170 --> 00:23:48.369
discussion, in their communication, they are

00:23:48.369 --> 00:23:54.269
looking at someone. Does this sound familiar?

00:23:54.910 --> 00:23:58.329
To be founded upon. Even though they were expecting

00:23:58.329 --> 00:24:00.809
a Messiah, but in their mind, there is a kind

00:24:00.809 --> 00:24:04.529
of Messiah they have already coined. It is the

00:24:04.529 --> 00:24:06.630
same thing as I will build upon. So even when

00:24:06.630 --> 00:24:08.690
the Messiah has arrived, they didn't understand

00:24:08.690 --> 00:24:14.480
or they didn't know. In Matthew 16 verse 18.

00:24:15.059 --> 00:24:17.440
Let's look at Matthew 16 verse 18. They would

00:24:17.440 --> 00:24:22.599
not have crucified the world. And on this rock

00:24:22.599 --> 00:24:27.039
I will build my church. I will build my church.

00:24:27.559 --> 00:24:32.660
On this rock I will build my church. Similar

00:24:32.660 --> 00:24:37.559
idea. Which means to be found upon. It is the

00:24:37.559 --> 00:24:42.859
same. I will build my church. This. Or built

00:24:42.859 --> 00:24:46.599
upon, rather. These words were spoken ahead by

00:24:46.599 --> 00:24:49.099
Moses. When we see Jesus speaking, as we always

00:24:49.099 --> 00:24:52.900
will say, the words that Jesus was speaking were

00:24:52.900 --> 00:24:55.359
the words that were already in Scripture. And

00:24:55.359 --> 00:24:57.619
the prophets and men that have lived before have

00:24:57.619 --> 00:25:03.299
prophesied those words. They've said the things

00:25:03.299 --> 00:25:06.519
that Jesus will say. They've prophesied the things

00:25:06.519 --> 00:25:11.079
that Jesus will do. They speak in promises what

00:25:11.079 --> 00:25:14.119
Jesus will accomplish. So, what are we trying

00:25:14.119 --> 00:25:18.819
to say? That means as we begin to explore the

00:25:18.819 --> 00:25:22.460
doctrine of laying over hands, the foundation.

00:25:22.680 --> 00:25:28.160
Are we together? The basis is who will talk to

00:25:28.160 --> 00:25:35.119
me is who is Jesus Christ. That's what makes

00:25:35.119 --> 00:25:39.339
it that we are discussing. Cover you with my

00:25:39.339 --> 00:25:42.400
hand while I pass by. Speaking of God's hand

00:25:42.400 --> 00:25:44.900
in salvation, the hand referring to God's hand

00:25:44.900 --> 00:25:48.039
in salvation, this describes God's salvation

00:25:48.039 --> 00:25:54.079
plan. It's a description of God's salvation plan.

00:25:54.339 --> 00:26:02.180
So any deviation as we discuss the rock, the

00:26:02.180 --> 00:26:07.730
ministry of the laying of hands, our basis. He

00:26:07.730 --> 00:26:10.990
called the rock salvation. Deuteronomy chapter

00:26:10.990 --> 00:26:17.250
32. Deuteronomy chapter 32. Verse 3 and verse

00:26:17.250 --> 00:26:27.910
4. For I proclaim the name of the Lord. Ascribe

00:26:27.910 --> 00:26:34.869
greatness to our God. He is what? He is what?

00:26:35.690 --> 00:26:39.009
He is the rock. Who is the rock? Look at Mark.

00:26:39.190 --> 00:26:45.369
Who is the rock? Mark 16. Let's go back. For

00:26:45.369 --> 00:26:47.910
I proclaim the name of the Lord. What is the

00:26:47.910 --> 00:26:50.730
name of the Lord? The works of God, right? Ascribe

00:26:50.730 --> 00:26:56.109
greatness to our God. Continue. Verse 4. He is

00:26:56.109 --> 00:27:01.869
the rock. God is the rock. He is the rock. His

00:27:01.869 --> 00:27:05.789
work is perfect. For all his ways are justice.

00:27:06.730 --> 00:27:11.109
A God of truth and without injustice. Righteous

00:27:11.109 --> 00:27:17.390
and upright is he. Look at verse 15 of that same

00:27:17.390 --> 00:27:21.130
Deuteronomy. Jump to verse 15. Are we together?

00:27:21.750 --> 00:27:25.269
Hallelujah. I just feel like to pray again for

00:27:25.269 --> 00:27:28.349
you. Because when I said the 11. But Jeshurun,

00:27:28.349 --> 00:27:32.559
do you fart and kick? You grew fat. You grew

00:27:32.559 --> 00:27:36.700
thick. You are obese. Then he forsook God who

00:27:36.700 --> 00:27:41.400
made him. And scornfully esteemed who? Scornfully

00:27:41.400 --> 00:27:47.559
esteemed what? The rock of his salvation. Scornfully

00:27:47.559 --> 00:27:53.480
esteemed the rock of his salvation. He called

00:27:53.480 --> 00:27:58.680
the rock salvation. Right? He called the rock

00:27:58.680 --> 00:28:05.119
salvation. The rock of his salvation. The rock

00:28:05.119 --> 00:28:08.660
of his salvation. So in Matthew 16 verse 18,

00:28:08.799 --> 00:28:13.700
Jesus said, upon this rock, I will build my church.

00:28:13.779 --> 00:28:17.279
Meaning that upon salvation, meaning that at

00:28:17.279 --> 00:28:23.539
the resurrection, what will happen? He will establish

00:28:23.539 --> 00:28:29.529
his church. Upon salvation, he will establish

00:28:29.529 --> 00:28:36.150
his church. Salvation is in a person. Salvation

00:28:36.150 --> 00:28:41.509
is a person. Salvation is in Christ. Upon salvation,

00:28:41.930 --> 00:28:45.829
he will establish what? He will establish his

00:28:45.829 --> 00:28:49.210
church. Acts chapter 1 verse 16. He will establish

00:28:49.210 --> 00:28:53.049
his church. He said, men and brethren, this scripture

00:28:53.049 --> 00:29:02.880
had to be fulfilled. Do we have clarity? What

00:29:02.880 --> 00:29:06.279
Moses was seeing, what Moses was speaking. So

00:29:06.279 --> 00:29:09.880
which church is Jesus talking about? Which church

00:29:09.880 --> 00:29:12.799
is Moses talking about? Where are we going to

00:29:12.799 --> 00:29:17.000
see the church? From Moses' writing, right? Which

00:29:17.000 --> 00:29:20.960
church is it? that Jesus is talking about. Again,

00:29:21.039 --> 00:29:26.559
from Moses' vocabulary, the church is the word

00:29:26.559 --> 00:29:30.980
Kahal. That's why he uttered Judah's name at

00:29:30.980 --> 00:29:34.640
this point. Which means the assembly of Israel.

00:29:36.220 --> 00:29:39.500
The assembly of Israel in the writings of Moses.

00:29:39.819 --> 00:29:46.140
The assembly of Israel after the Exodus. We said

00:29:46.140 --> 00:29:50.920
this one week or two weeks ago about the will

00:29:50.920 --> 00:29:54.019
of God, right? And we said that the will of God

00:29:54.019 --> 00:29:58.799
is for an assembly. The deliverance of the people

00:29:58.799 --> 00:30:02.559
of Israel to establish an assembly. An assembly

00:30:02.559 --> 00:30:04.599
of the men of Israel. And that assembly is where

00:30:04.599 --> 00:30:08.319
we got the word church from. The word church.

00:30:08.539 --> 00:30:12.940
The assembly of God's people. And what was the

00:30:12.940 --> 00:30:17.910
purpose? The goal we make known is knowledge

00:30:17.910 --> 00:30:21.009
upon the face of the earth. He made them his

00:30:21.009 --> 00:30:23.710
assembly and then the desire of God is that this

00:30:23.710 --> 00:30:27.170
assembly will be a kingdom of what? Of priests.

00:30:28.170 --> 00:30:30.069
Prophets. Kingdom of priests and prophets. We

00:30:30.069 --> 00:30:35.430
raise the king to what? To kill. Assembly of

00:30:35.430 --> 00:30:40.230
God. The church. The church is actually the kingdom

00:30:40.230 --> 00:30:43.559
of God. The church is what? The church is the

00:30:43.559 --> 00:30:46.339
kingdom of God. So we are in the kingdom of God.

00:30:47.279 --> 00:30:54.680
God is our king here. Hallelujah. So the church

00:30:54.680 --> 00:31:00.140
or the kingdom of God or the family of God, the

00:31:00.140 --> 00:31:04.039
people of God are a product of what? Of the resurrection

00:31:04.039 --> 00:31:08.930
of Jesus Christ. Verse 17. Look at verse 17.

00:31:08.950 --> 00:31:14.190
For he was numbered with us upon this rock upon

00:31:14.190 --> 00:31:18.690
the salvation of men upon the resurrection of

00:31:18.690 --> 00:31:22.849
Jesus Christ the church is established the family

00:31:22.849 --> 00:31:26.670
of God is established the people of God with

00:31:26.670 --> 00:31:31.869
the wages of iniquity are formed from the resurrection

00:31:31.869 --> 00:31:35.950
of Jesus Christ and all the entrails of the intestine

00:31:35.950 --> 00:31:38.880
gushed out That is where we got our identity.

00:31:39.200 --> 00:31:44.519
And it became known to all those dwelling in

00:31:44.519 --> 00:31:47.059
Jerusalem. So if Jesus mentioned church, there

00:31:47.059 --> 00:31:50.619
is no church without the Exodus. There is no

00:31:50.619 --> 00:31:57.119
assembly without the Exodus. The Exodus simply

00:31:57.119 --> 00:32:04.000
means salvation. Exodus means deliverance. Let

00:32:04.000 --> 00:32:07.519
his dwelling place be desolate. And let no one

00:32:07.519 --> 00:32:13.000
live in it. And let another take his word. For

00:32:13.000 --> 00:32:16.039
there to be a people of God. For there to be

00:32:16.039 --> 00:32:20.599
a people that God will name as his possession.

00:32:20.859 --> 00:32:24.440
There must be a redemption. That was what God

00:32:24.440 --> 00:32:29.299
told Moses. To go to Egypt and do what? And deliver.

00:32:34.710 --> 00:32:38.930
And not that man take. Egypt therefore becomes

00:32:38.930 --> 00:32:48.349
a type of what? Of bondage in scriptures. Egypt

00:32:48.349 --> 00:32:56.809
refers to captivity. Egypt refers to sin. Pharaoh

00:32:56.809 --> 00:33:04.039
will be seen as Satan. It's a picture. Who hold

00:33:04.039 --> 00:33:10.359
and keep the people of God in captivity. And

00:33:10.359 --> 00:33:15.220
we see deliverance from Moses. The type of Jesus.

00:33:15.839 --> 00:33:19.019
Deliverance from Moses. Salvation. So that the

00:33:19.019 --> 00:33:22.660
kingdom of God will be established. So that God

00:33:22.660 --> 00:33:26.400
will have a special people. A priest. A people

00:33:26.400 --> 00:33:29.420
that are his own possession. A people that will

00:33:29.420 --> 00:33:38.380
declare the works of God. Upon this rock, upon

00:33:38.380 --> 00:33:42.599
salvation, upon this rock, I will build, I will

00:33:42.599 --> 00:33:47.720
establish those that come out of the world. Those

00:33:47.720 --> 00:33:51.420
that will come out of sin. Those that will come

00:33:51.420 --> 00:33:53.980
out of the bondage of Satan. Those that will

00:33:53.980 --> 00:33:55.940
be delivered from the culture. You know, Egypt

00:33:55.940 --> 00:33:59.069
has a culture, right? Egypt has a civilization.

00:33:59.970 --> 00:34:07.329
Egypt has a way of life that is not the will

00:34:07.329 --> 00:34:12.829
of God. So God's deliverance, because the people

00:34:12.829 --> 00:34:15.050
of God were kept under subjugation, they were

00:34:15.050 --> 00:34:19.289
kept under what? Activity. They were slaves.

00:34:20.210 --> 00:34:27.369
They have no right of themselves. They have no

00:34:27.369 --> 00:34:32.230
freedom. In that parable, he gave. Yes, you are

00:34:32.230 --> 00:34:35.449
born again. So God is delivering them so that

00:34:35.449 --> 00:34:38.489
they will worship him in truth. So that they

00:34:38.489 --> 00:34:42.550
will worship him. So that they will have fellowship

00:34:42.550 --> 00:34:44.369
with God. So that God can inhabit his people.

00:34:44.369 --> 00:34:47.730
That is what we see in the wilderness. But the

00:34:47.730 --> 00:34:51.610
grace of God that is upon me. The grace of God

00:34:51.610 --> 00:34:58.039
upon your life will have no effect. And that's

00:34:58.039 --> 00:35:01.179
why we're here spending time. There must be...

00:35:01.179 --> 00:35:03.280
It was a teaching. It was happening practically,

00:35:03.519 --> 00:35:08.159
but it's also a teaching. Hallelujah. It's a

00:35:08.159 --> 00:35:11.760
teaching of our reality today. It's a teaching

00:35:11.760 --> 00:35:18.639
concerning what God will do in us. Egypt, Pharaoh,

00:35:18.920 --> 00:35:26.500
is a typology for sin. Satan and the world. And

00:35:26.500 --> 00:35:31.219
we see our deliverance, our exodus from sin.

00:35:31.260 --> 00:35:35.699
Our exodus from sin. From Satan. From the world.

00:35:37.840 --> 00:35:45.039
Now we have come out of the world. Amen. We that

00:35:45.039 --> 00:35:49.210
are born again. We that are believers. Who have

00:35:49.210 --> 00:35:52.670
received the message of deliverance. Who have

00:35:52.670 --> 00:35:56.530
put our trust in Jesus Christ. Have been translated

00:35:56.530 --> 00:35:59.309
from the kingdom of darkness. Which is Egypt.

00:35:59.570 --> 00:36:02.289
And then into the kingdom of God's marvelous

00:36:02.289 --> 00:36:06.829
light. Where we enjoy fellowship with God. And

00:36:06.829 --> 00:36:19.599
with fellow believers. We share in unity. We

00:36:19.599 --> 00:36:22.780
saw Agapus. Agapus said, hey, I saw something

00:36:22.780 --> 00:36:25.219
ahead. And they were able to do something. We

00:36:25.219 --> 00:36:28.139
share in what? That is my portion. That is your

00:36:28.139 --> 00:36:30.360
portion. We share in oneness with God. My space

00:36:30.360 --> 00:36:32.960
will not be empty. If there's anything you should

00:36:32.960 --> 00:36:35.519
pray about, it's that, Lord, my space will not

00:36:35.519 --> 00:36:40.539
be empty. And you see, Moses will tell them,

00:36:40.619 --> 00:36:43.099
my life will be marked with fruitfulness. That

00:36:43.099 --> 00:36:44.440
whenever they celebrate the Passover, my life

00:36:44.440 --> 00:36:46.380
will be marked with fruitfulness. They should

00:36:46.380 --> 00:36:51.840
do it in. Through the last. Through the last.

00:36:51.880 --> 00:36:55.360
And we've explained what the bread is. What is

00:36:55.360 --> 00:36:58.539
the bread? The spirit of God. Meaning that we

00:36:58.539 --> 00:37:01.579
will share in the fellowship of the spirit together.

00:37:02.420 --> 00:37:05.159
Hallelujah. Meaning that we will be in unity

00:37:05.159 --> 00:37:08.860
in Christ. It's a family matter. It's a family

00:37:08.860 --> 00:37:13.659
matter. We have come out of the world. We are

00:37:13.659 --> 00:37:17.460
the church of God. We are the church of God.

00:37:18.800 --> 00:37:22.880
We are the church of God. And you will say the

00:37:22.880 --> 00:37:30.480
gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Hades

00:37:30.480 --> 00:37:33.980
shall not prevail against it. So we are the church.

00:37:35.019 --> 00:37:37.840
The gate of hell shall not prevail against means

00:37:37.840 --> 00:37:42.059
that the church has overcome death. We've prevailed

00:37:42.059 --> 00:37:50.320
against death in Christ. We've died with him

00:37:50.320 --> 00:37:56.639
in baptism. Paul will explain that Exodus, baptism

00:37:56.639 --> 00:38:05.210
by the Red Sea. Amen. Or in Hebrew. Are we together?

00:38:05.489 --> 00:38:07.590
And we are alive in Christ Jesus. For example,

00:38:07.590 --> 00:38:11.929
love. Love. We have come out of the world. We

00:38:11.929 --> 00:38:15.670
are the church of God. Love. Which one? Love.

00:38:16.010 --> 00:38:19.710
You see that? You see, by the time you go to

00:38:19.710 --> 00:38:22.750
Greek, there are different kinds of love have

00:38:22.750 --> 00:38:27.590
their different kind of what? Name. Agape. Eros.

00:38:27.769 --> 00:38:31.289
Are we together? Philia. Are we together? Moses

00:38:31.289 --> 00:38:33.269
saw ahead of time. But when you are translating,

00:38:33.869 --> 00:38:38.869
He saw ahead. God was willing to show him. But

00:38:38.869 --> 00:38:42.289
he didn't enter. He didn't partake in it. He

00:38:42.289 --> 00:38:49.510
didn't see God physically. But in Christ, we

00:38:49.510 --> 00:38:53.960
see God manifested. Hallelujah. We see God manifested.

00:38:54.099 --> 00:38:58.739
We see God revealed. We see God becoming a man,

00:38:58.860 --> 00:39:03.340
being revealed to us. Jesus is what? Jesus is

00:39:03.340 --> 00:39:08.880
the glory of God. Jesus is the glory of God.

00:39:08.960 --> 00:39:14.139
God being manifested in the flesh. And where

00:39:14.139 --> 00:39:21.130
does he live? He lives in the believer. The glory

00:39:21.130 --> 00:39:25.750
of God is seen in Christ and Christ lives in

00:39:25.750 --> 00:39:29.190
you and I in the form of the Holy Spirit. The

00:39:29.190 --> 00:39:32.489
apostles and Jesus never spoke anything new.

00:39:32.750 --> 00:39:35.590
They only came to interpret the text of the prophets.

00:39:36.550 --> 00:39:39.170
Which means that if you see them saying anything

00:39:39.170 --> 00:39:41.130
or doing anything, you should know the background

00:39:41.130 --> 00:39:42.269
where they are coming from. Are we together?

00:39:42.550 --> 00:39:45.010
I even said, for example, I know Pastor Chidi.

00:39:48.460 --> 00:39:51.039
Normally teach chemistry, you understand? If

00:39:51.039 --> 00:39:54.099
I see his note or his slide, would I think that

00:39:54.099 --> 00:39:58.880
he sat down and invented every name? When you

00:39:58.880 --> 00:40:01.320
say carbon, you see the one that is named carbon?

00:40:01.679 --> 00:40:05.679
So that means he went somewhere, there are textbooks

00:40:05.679 --> 00:40:08.239
and material, he went to get what he was teaching.

00:40:08.380 --> 00:40:13.320
Are we together? So that means if I want to know

00:40:13.320 --> 00:40:16.360
more in an elaborate way what he said, what would

00:40:16.360 --> 00:40:18.539
I do? Can you help me with those references?

00:40:18.820 --> 00:40:22.300
The rock here will be the rock that Moses spoke

00:40:22.300 --> 00:40:26.480
about. The church here will be the church that

00:40:26.480 --> 00:40:30.840
Moses explained. And we'll see the reality today

00:40:30.840 --> 00:40:36.260
that we are the church. Hallelujah. Now Colossians,

00:40:36.260 --> 00:40:39.639
Colossians chapter 9, chapter 1 verse 9. But

00:40:39.639 --> 00:40:46.800
I know that many of our pastors, they go to...

00:40:51.340 --> 00:40:57.800
Paul would say, for this reason, for this reason,

00:40:58.440 --> 00:41:03.139
since the day we heard of it, we do not cease

00:41:03.139 --> 00:41:08.659
to pray for you and to ask that you may be filled

00:41:08.659 --> 00:41:11.559
with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom

00:41:11.559 --> 00:41:15.059
and spiritual understanding. That you walk worthy

00:41:15.059 --> 00:41:20.659
of the Lord. Fully pleasing him. Being fruitful

00:41:20.659 --> 00:41:26.579
in every good work. In every good work. That

00:41:26.579 --> 00:41:29.119
is the desire of God that we become fruitful

00:41:29.119 --> 00:41:33.500
in every good work. Increasing in the knowledge

00:41:33.500 --> 00:41:38.139
of God. Strengthened with all might. According

00:41:38.139 --> 00:41:41.500
to his glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering

00:41:41.500 --> 00:41:44.679
with joy, giving thanks to the Father who has

00:41:44.679 --> 00:41:50.239
qualified us. He has qualified you. He has qualified

00:41:50.239 --> 00:41:54.099
us to be partakers of the inheritance in the

00:41:54.099 --> 00:41:57.940
light. We are no longer in darkness. We are no

00:41:57.940 --> 00:42:01.960
longer in Egypt. We've been qualified and we

00:42:01.960 --> 00:42:05.599
are in the light. Hallelujah. He has delivered

00:42:05.599 --> 00:42:10.179
us from the power of darkness. How did he deliver

00:42:10.179 --> 00:42:14.420
us? Through the Exodus. Through what Jesus has

00:42:14.420 --> 00:42:18.599
done. He has delivered us from the power of darkness.

00:42:18.980 --> 00:42:23.340
And he has conveyed us into the kingdom of the

00:42:23.340 --> 00:42:26.639
son of his love. He has brought us into the kingdom.

00:42:27.119 --> 00:42:29.960
Whose kingdom is it? The kingdom of the son.

00:42:30.219 --> 00:42:35.500
Of his love. In whom we have redemption. Through

00:42:35.500 --> 00:42:41.239
his spirit. The forgiveness of sins. Amen. Through

00:42:41.239 --> 00:42:44.420
his spirit. The forgiveness of sins. The blood

00:42:44.420 --> 00:42:48.480
is what? The blood is spirit. Do you agree with

00:42:48.480 --> 00:42:51.960
me? Have we explained this before? The blood

00:42:51.960 --> 00:42:58.599
is what? His spirit. Through his blood, through

00:42:58.599 --> 00:43:03.300
his spirit, the forgiveness of sins. He is the

00:43:03.300 --> 00:43:08.699
glory of God. You understand what I just did

00:43:08.699 --> 00:43:13.340
here? He is what? The image of the invisible

00:43:13.340 --> 00:43:20.739
God. He is the expression of God in human form.

00:43:21.420 --> 00:43:29.039
Amen? And he said to them, go into all the world

00:43:29.039 --> 00:43:36.059
and preach the gospel to every creature. To every

00:43:36.059 --> 00:43:41.599
creature. Verse 16. He who believes and is baptized

00:43:41.599 --> 00:43:47.760
will be saved. But he who does not believe will

00:43:47.760 --> 00:43:50.300
be condemned. And remember I have already shared

00:43:50.300 --> 00:43:54.269
to you what we call by him. All things were created

00:43:54.269 --> 00:43:58.909
that are in heaven and are on earth. Visible

00:43:58.909 --> 00:44:01.449
and invisible. Whether thrones or dominions or

00:44:01.449 --> 00:44:05.650
principalities or powers. All things were created

00:44:05.650 --> 00:44:13.750
through him for him. And he is before all things

00:44:13.750 --> 00:44:18.849
and in him all things consist. Verse 18. Look

00:44:18.849 --> 00:44:24.929
at verse 18. Because John said that except a

00:44:24.929 --> 00:44:28.250
man is born of the water and of the spirit, he

00:44:28.250 --> 00:44:30.469
cannot be born again. So how dare you remove

00:44:30.469 --> 00:44:33.110
water? He is our God. He is our Father. He is

00:44:33.110 --> 00:44:35.789
the head of the church, of the body. What is

00:44:35.789 --> 00:44:40.630
the body? The body is a church. Who is the beginning?

00:44:41.150 --> 00:44:48.480
The firstborn. From the dead. And in all things

00:44:48.480 --> 00:44:53.659
he may have preeminence. He may have dominion

00:44:53.659 --> 00:44:58.219
over. For it pleases the Father that in him all

00:44:58.219 --> 00:45:04.920
the fullness should dwell. It is God's plan that

00:45:04.920 --> 00:45:07.960
all the fullness of the Godhead be seen in Christ.

00:45:09.660 --> 00:45:14.380
And by him, reconcile all things to himself.

00:45:14.539 --> 00:45:18.000
Through Christ, reconciliation is made to God.

00:45:21.440 --> 00:45:24.519
And by him, to reconcile all things to himself.

00:45:24.940 --> 00:45:28.260
By him, whether things on earth or things in

00:45:28.260 --> 00:45:32.519
heaven, have made peace through the blood of

00:45:32.519 --> 00:45:35.099
his cross. These things on heaven and things

00:45:35.099 --> 00:45:36.480
on earth, are they talking about people here?

00:45:36.619 --> 00:45:37.360
1 Corinthians was telling us that we are all

00:45:37.360 --> 00:45:42.320
being baptized into one. Are we together? Is

00:45:42.320 --> 00:45:46.099
that what I do? No. So baptized meant to be,

00:45:46.099 --> 00:45:51.579
to amass. And you who were once, who were put

00:45:51.579 --> 00:45:55.019
into something. So when you come into Christ,

00:45:55.099 --> 00:45:58.059
you are actually amassed into him. Are we together?

00:45:58.420 --> 00:46:01.559
So when you believe, what happens, what we call

00:46:01.559 --> 00:46:06.599
that is immersion. Where? In the mind. Amen?

00:46:06.900 --> 00:46:09.940
Remember? The mind, the wise and the prudent

00:46:09.940 --> 00:46:12.059
of this world, where did they reject God? In

00:46:12.059 --> 00:46:13.780
their mind, in their thinking, in their thoughts,

00:46:13.900 --> 00:46:17.079
right? That's what it means. Here. We are ones

00:46:17.079 --> 00:46:20.800
like them. But if you do not believe, because

00:46:20.800 --> 00:46:24.360
if that baptize is different, if you do not believe

00:46:24.360 --> 00:46:27.119
and baptize, you will be condemned. Believe in

00:46:27.119 --> 00:46:31.380
Jesus. But no. What is the works of Satan? Do

00:46:31.380 --> 00:46:34.320
not believe. Are we together? And these signs

00:46:34.320 --> 00:46:39.340
will follow those who believe. By wicked works.

00:46:39.440 --> 00:46:43.019
Wicked works is unbelief. In my name. Because

00:46:43.019 --> 00:46:45.940
everything that you see that is wickedness is

00:46:45.940 --> 00:46:47.219
a product of unbelief. They will cast out demons.

00:46:47.840 --> 00:46:49.719
If you have been in this church, we have dealt

00:46:49.719 --> 00:46:53.380
with these things again and again. Wicked works.

00:46:53.460 --> 00:46:59.000
Yet. Now he has what? He has reconciled us. He

00:46:59.000 --> 00:47:03.239
has brought us into a fellowship. So we are in

00:47:03.239 --> 00:47:08.920
that rock. Are we in that rock? Are we in that

00:47:08.920 --> 00:47:20.579
kingdom? Are we in salvation? Yes. He has reconciled

00:47:20.579 --> 00:47:26.900
us in the body. Of his flesh. In the body of

00:47:26.900 --> 00:47:30.760
his flesh. What is flesh? In Christ's reality.

00:47:31.320 --> 00:47:37.519
In the spirit. Right? Through what? Through death.

00:47:38.159 --> 00:47:43.659
To present us. Holy and blameless. Above reproach.

00:47:43.860 --> 00:47:48.019
In his sight. So before God we are what? We are

00:47:48.019 --> 00:47:51.500
holy. We are set apart. Set apart is for what?

00:47:51.900 --> 00:47:55.219
It's for a purpose. To be set apart is for a

00:47:55.219 --> 00:47:58.440
function. So we are set apart for God for a function.

00:47:58.719 --> 00:48:04.340
We are blameless. Okay. That is our truth about

00:48:04.340 --> 00:48:07.699
us. We are blameless. Right? Those who believe

00:48:07.699 --> 00:48:09.619
in the name of the Son of God, that you will

00:48:09.619 --> 00:48:13.820
know you have what? Eternal life. Above reproach

00:48:13.820 --> 00:48:16.619
in His sight. There's no condemnation for us.

00:48:17.289 --> 00:48:21.650
So if you look at that, John himself, aside his

00:48:21.650 --> 00:48:25.869
epistle, he wrote again in John 20, 30, 31, you

00:48:25.869 --> 00:48:28.670
understand? He said that all these things were

00:48:28.670 --> 00:48:32.289
written that you might be grounded and steadfast

00:48:32.289 --> 00:48:35.449
and are not moved away from the hope of the gospel

00:48:35.449 --> 00:48:37.309
through his name, which you heard, which was

00:48:37.309 --> 00:48:45.760
preached to every creator under heaven. And what

00:48:45.760 --> 00:48:48.000
is Christ's accomplishment? It's his resurrection.

00:48:48.400 --> 00:48:50.980
What he has done, what he has accomplished for

00:48:50.980 --> 00:48:56.239
us. Are we together? So he accomplished it. So

00:48:56.239 --> 00:48:58.920
that resurrection, that indwelling, and it is

00:48:58.920 --> 00:49:03.519
in that you have what? You have life. Paul says

00:49:03.519 --> 00:49:07.219
that if you believe in your heart and confess

00:49:07.219 --> 00:49:10.800
with your mouth that what? That Jesus who is

00:49:10.800 --> 00:49:14.300
what? The message that he has been raised from

00:49:14.300 --> 00:49:24.900
what? From the what? The resurrection. So if

00:49:24.900 --> 00:49:27.780
he says in my name, he is talking about you.

00:49:29.119 --> 00:49:32.440
That you are in Christ means you are in the name.

00:49:32.440 --> 00:49:39.650
Are we together? From God, which was given to

00:49:39.650 --> 00:49:44.389
me for you to fulfill the word of God. He's not

00:49:44.389 --> 00:49:47.289
saying you shout, in the name of Jesus. No, you

00:49:47.289 --> 00:49:49.389
don't need that. You are in the name already.

00:49:50.690 --> 00:49:53.690
You are in the name. You don't need to shout.

00:49:55.130 --> 00:50:02.829
You just speak. Go. Simple. The idea of God becoming

00:50:02.829 --> 00:50:06.719
man. So he's not saying you should shout. He's

00:50:06.719 --> 00:50:12.579
not mentioning. In most of our teachings, which

00:50:12.579 --> 00:50:14.659
we have done in the cell meetings, that's why

00:50:14.659 --> 00:50:16.599
if you don't attend cell meetings, you are missing

00:50:16.599 --> 00:50:22.800
a lot. We read from Philippians 2, he said, God

00:50:22.800 --> 00:50:26.840
gave him a name. To them, God willed to make

00:50:26.840 --> 00:50:31.440
known. Hallelujah. At the name of Jesus, every

00:50:31.440 --> 00:50:34.019
knee must bow. Every tongue must confess that

00:50:34.019 --> 00:50:37.420
Jesus Christ is Lord. Verse 27. To them, God

00:50:37.420 --> 00:50:43.599
wills to make known what? What are the riches?

00:50:45.760 --> 00:50:47.440
That the name of Jesus. It's not a dark. You

00:50:47.440 --> 00:50:49.179
remember we talk about good things. Did you hear

00:50:49.179 --> 00:50:52.840
what I said? The name of Jesus is what? It's

00:50:52.840 --> 00:50:56.599
not a what? to pass. The good things, the riches,

00:50:56.659 --> 00:50:59.159
has to do with everything that is in salvation.

00:50:59.840 --> 00:51:02.519
The name of Jesus is his accomplishment. Moses

00:51:02.519 --> 00:51:06.380
saw it. God showed him from afar, through that,

00:51:06.480 --> 00:51:10.679
and here he says, so if you believe in the name,

00:51:10.679 --> 00:51:12.960
means you believe in the resurrection. The mystery

00:51:12.960 --> 00:51:15.699
that has been hidden from ages and from generations,

00:51:15.800 --> 00:51:19.099
but now has been revealed to the saints. To them

00:51:19.099 --> 00:51:24.579
God willed to make known. What are the riches

00:51:24.579 --> 00:51:31.960
of the glory, the riches of the glory of this

00:51:31.960 --> 00:51:36.059
mystery among the Gentiles? Cast out demons.

00:51:37.340 --> 00:51:41.300
There was what? Speak with what? New tongues.

00:51:41.659 --> 00:51:48.619
Stop and think. Today, God will make known what

00:51:48.619 --> 00:51:53.360
are the riches of the glory. Jacob's serpent

00:51:53.360 --> 00:51:57.019
talks about dealing with demons. Dealing with

00:51:57.019 --> 00:52:01.559
darkness. Huh? Unbelievers. With darkness. So

00:52:01.559 --> 00:52:07.079
God's desire is to make known what? The riches

00:52:07.079 --> 00:52:12.820
of the glory of his mystery before the Gentiles.

00:52:12.920 --> 00:52:16.739
Recover. Lay hands on the sick and they will

00:52:16.739 --> 00:52:20.139
recover. Which is what? Which is Christ in you.

00:52:21.000 --> 00:52:26.179
The Bible calls laying of hands as a sign. A

00:52:26.179 --> 00:52:29.760
supernatural sign. Now, that's the first thing

00:52:29.760 --> 00:52:34.739
I want you to note. That laying of hands is not

00:52:34.739 --> 00:52:39.179
a physical touch. Are we now in the glory of

00:52:39.179 --> 00:52:44.019
God? Are we together? It's spiritual. It's supernatural.

00:52:46.820 --> 00:52:52.840
That's why he said, He wants to show His splendor,

00:52:52.840 --> 00:52:56.880
His power, His authority, His riches through

00:52:56.880 --> 00:52:59.139
your life, through my life to this generation.

00:52:59.300 --> 00:53:02.420
It's not any kind of hand. The Gentiles are the

00:53:02.420 --> 00:53:07.619
unbelieving people of this generation. This foundation,

00:53:07.900 --> 00:53:10.480
you have to get it from today because anything

00:53:10.480 --> 00:53:14.599
we're going to do is only... It's a supernatural

00:53:14.599 --> 00:53:19.719
activity. The laying of hands is a supernatural

00:53:19.719 --> 00:53:24.079
activity. To them, God will to make known. It's

00:53:24.079 --> 00:53:27.780
not just a physical touch. Him we what? How will

00:53:27.780 --> 00:53:32.500
you know? Him we preach. By preaching. It's not.

00:53:32.780 --> 00:53:37.280
By preaching. It's a way we exercise dominion.

00:53:37.380 --> 00:53:42.599
And doing what? And teaching every man to the

00:53:42.599 --> 00:53:46.860
laying of hands. We subdue darkness. We subdue

00:53:46.860 --> 00:53:51.079
sicknesses. Are we together? Now, this is all

00:53:51.079 --> 00:53:53.900
wisdom here. It's a sign of dominion. Listen,

00:53:54.039 --> 00:53:58.849
did you see all these signs? The signs here are

00:53:58.849 --> 00:54:03.030
already an indication of war. It's an indication

00:54:03.030 --> 00:54:06.090
of dominion. Did you get what I'm trying to say?

00:54:07.030 --> 00:54:11.150
Cast out demons is an what? Is an indication

00:54:11.150 --> 00:54:17.369
of what? Dominion. Established in Christ. Founded

00:54:17.369 --> 00:54:20.829
on that rock. That is a perfection. They speak

00:54:20.829 --> 00:54:24.469
with new tongues. Take up serpents. That is a

00:54:24.469 --> 00:54:27.710
perfection. Every man perfect in Christ. Every

00:54:27.710 --> 00:54:30.469
man established in Christ. The perfection in

00:54:30.469 --> 00:54:36.530
Christ is on that rock. And that is your position

00:54:36.530 --> 00:54:42.679
in Christ. To this end, I want... We are seated

00:54:42.679 --> 00:54:48.519
with him. We are seated together. We are raised

00:54:48.519 --> 00:54:52.239
together. We are seated together. In the heavens.

00:54:53.059 --> 00:54:57.699
He's a place of dominion. Far above principalities

00:54:57.699 --> 00:55:01.940
and powers. That's a position of dominion. Come

00:55:01.940 --> 00:55:05.440
to the knowledge. So laying on my hands is a

00:55:05.440 --> 00:55:11.500
supernatural act. That is how we extend dominion.

00:55:11.940 --> 00:55:16.639
That is how we cause things to happen. Now, I

00:55:16.639 --> 00:55:20.440
want that to be in you. I want that consciousness

00:55:20.440 --> 00:55:24.960
to enter. So that when you are about to lay hands

00:55:24.960 --> 00:55:28.039
on someone, that should come with that consciousness.

00:55:28.670 --> 00:55:31.289
The glory of God. To display the works of God.

00:55:31.309 --> 00:55:34.130
To display what God has done. To proclaim what

00:55:34.130 --> 00:55:36.889
God has done. Did you understand what I'm saying?

00:55:37.610 --> 00:55:41.929
Hallelujah. That is the plan of God. That Jacob,

00:55:42.230 --> 00:55:47.389
though a man blind, he lay his right hand on

00:55:47.389 --> 00:55:50.570
Ephraim. All of us who believe. He wants to display.

00:55:50.929 --> 00:55:53.190
He wants to make a display. And Joseph was angry.

00:55:54.809 --> 00:55:57.170
He was displeased. Why that? And that is true

00:55:57.170 --> 00:55:59.769
preaching. Joseph knew what that means. It's

00:55:59.769 --> 00:56:02.409
you don't know. Amen. Did you get what I'm trying

00:56:02.409 --> 00:56:05.289
to say? Joseph went and exchanged the hand because

00:56:05.289 --> 00:56:07.090
he knew Manasseh was older. I wish we would have

00:56:07.090 --> 00:56:09.829
much time to have seen how to manifest the kingdom.

00:56:09.949 --> 00:56:12.369
That is a firstborn supposed to carry. We would

00:56:12.369 --> 00:56:13.630
have seen how he would manifest the kingdom.

00:56:13.630 --> 00:56:15.710
Even though he has not learnt. Because it has

00:56:15.710 --> 00:56:18.550
not always been like that. Because most of the

00:56:18.550 --> 00:56:20.590
firstborn, they have missed it. He would manifest

00:56:20.590 --> 00:56:22.590
by binding and closing. He probably wanted to

00:56:22.590 --> 00:56:26.460
adjust it. Amen. Now, binding and losing is not...

00:56:26.460 --> 00:56:28.219
Although the man is blind, but he knew where

00:56:28.219 --> 00:56:30.820
he was putting his hand. Are you together with

00:56:30.820 --> 00:56:35.920
me? Israel was blind. He's aged already, but

00:56:35.920 --> 00:56:38.840
he knew where he was putting his hand. When Joseph

00:56:38.840 --> 00:56:41.739
shifted the hand back, he returned it back. Because

00:56:41.739 --> 00:56:43.500
he has given us access to that kingdom. He has

00:56:43.500 --> 00:56:45.960
given us the keys. He has given us authority.

00:56:46.039 --> 00:56:48.900
He has given us access into the kingdom. You,

00:56:49.239 --> 00:56:51.880
Ephraim, I have set you ahead of... I don't know

00:56:51.880 --> 00:56:55.130
whether you have stayed up in your heart. I don't

00:56:55.130 --> 00:56:57.570
know whether you've seen what God wants to do

00:56:57.570 --> 00:56:59.969
with our lives. I don't know whether you've been

00:56:59.969 --> 00:57:03.469
brought into the plan of God, the desire of God,

00:57:04.210 --> 00:57:06.750
the purpose of God, what God wants to accomplish

00:57:06.750 --> 00:57:12.510
with us. The dubious one is Esau. He has already

00:57:12.510 --> 00:57:15.809
neglected it and did a transaction. He didn't

00:57:15.809 --> 00:57:19.519
know that already it has registered. He is the

00:57:19.519 --> 00:57:22.219
one trying to steal what was not his. Because

00:57:22.219 --> 00:57:27.320
he has already given it up. So which means that

00:57:27.320 --> 00:57:31.159
because the Bible tells us in Hebrew that he

00:57:31.159 --> 00:57:38.239
was a clothed man. That is, he showed contempt

00:57:38.239 --> 00:57:42.380
for the things of the Spirit. I mean, that's

00:57:42.380 --> 00:57:45.079
why you have to be careful as we continue. Amen.

00:57:45.219 --> 00:57:47.960
Because they say, where do you have content for

00:57:47.960 --> 00:57:50.340
the things of the Spirit? They are praying. What

00:57:50.340 --> 00:57:51.719
are you to show them? Are you to show them how

00:57:51.719 --> 00:57:52.980
rich you are? You know that kind of thing you

00:57:52.980 --> 00:57:55.719
show? Sacred things that you are treating. That's

00:57:55.719 --> 00:58:00.239
why I'm always angry when I see us bringing comedians

00:58:00.239 --> 00:58:02.119
to come and make gestures of the Holy Spirit.

00:58:03.199 --> 00:58:06.579
The Holy Spirit. That is profane. That is certificate.

00:58:06.860 --> 00:58:09.760
You treat sacred things with content. The unbelievers

00:58:09.760 --> 00:58:12.679
of this world, they have the resources of this

00:58:12.679 --> 00:58:15.730
world as well. So that is not what you show to

00:58:15.730 --> 00:58:17.349
them. That is not what you show to them. You

00:58:17.349 --> 00:58:21.010
show to them the works of Christ. No, you have

00:58:21.010 --> 00:58:28.530
to honor it. You have to treat it sacred. Through

00:58:28.530 --> 00:58:32.869
the miraculous. That is how we manifest. Amen?

00:58:34.309 --> 00:58:36.469
Through the miraculous power of the Holy Ghost.

00:58:36.510 --> 00:58:40.429
Listen. The fact that Jacob was cunning. That

00:58:40.429 --> 00:58:43.210
is God's intention. And I see God bringing us

00:58:43.210 --> 00:58:46.409
to that level of knowledge. Did you understand

00:58:46.409 --> 00:58:48.590
what I'm trying to say? Are you together with

00:58:48.590 --> 00:58:52.570
me? We display the glory through the gifts, the

00:58:52.570 --> 00:58:54.769
equipment that he has given us. We see what we

00:58:54.769 --> 00:58:59.730
have in Christ. We see how Jacob was cunning

00:58:59.730 --> 00:59:03.090
to be activated to function in this maneuver

00:59:03.090 --> 00:59:06.110
way. He would still have been the one to carry

00:59:06.110 --> 00:59:09.380
it. Did you get what I'm trying to say? God just

00:59:09.380 --> 00:59:14.800
opened to us to show us how man is. How the heart

00:59:14.800 --> 00:59:19.559
of men are. But then to show us also how God

00:59:19.559 --> 00:59:24.159
is. Are we together? Through our ministry. It

00:59:24.159 --> 00:59:27.420
wasn't that he stole it. No. Through our ministry.

00:59:27.639 --> 00:59:31.960
It was his. Through our ministry. But look at

00:59:31.960 --> 00:59:33.320
the point I'm trying to point out. As I close,

00:59:33.480 --> 00:59:36.099
let me read Ephesians chapter 3. Jacob returned.

00:59:36.320 --> 00:59:38.659
I mean, sorry, Esau returned. Ephesians chapter

00:59:38.659 --> 00:59:46.760
3. So I want you to be expectant more. I just

00:59:46.760 --> 00:59:50.219
lay foundation. Believe me, God is about to do

00:59:50.219 --> 00:59:53.159
greater things in this place. Hallelujah. We

00:59:53.159 --> 00:59:59.800
are created for better works. For greater works.

01:00:00.840 --> 01:00:04.219
Hallelujah. It's going to be greater and better

01:00:04.219 --> 01:00:07.099
through our lives. Hallelujah. What I mean better

01:00:07.099 --> 01:00:11.039
means permanent. Amen? That is what God is going

01:00:11.039 --> 01:00:13.599
to use our lives to do. What you do in people's

01:00:13.599 --> 01:00:15.880
lives is going to be better. It's going to be

01:00:15.880 --> 01:00:17.960
permanent. God is going to use you to put a mark

01:00:17.960 --> 01:00:21.199
in people's lives that will be eternal. Amen?

01:00:22.940 --> 01:00:27.739
Your mission is an eternal mission. Or putting

01:00:27.739 --> 01:00:30.880
people into offices is not done to every believer.

01:00:32.280 --> 01:00:35.119
It's done to believers who have already shown

01:00:35.119 --> 01:00:38.920
the qualification. That's God's work in us. Unlike,

01:00:39.260 --> 01:00:45.320
for example, like the baptism of the Holy Ghost.

01:00:45.579 --> 01:00:49.019
Of course, you understand? Believers all will

01:00:49.019 --> 01:00:53.639
partake from it. But offices are reserved for

01:00:53.639 --> 01:00:57.110
those who are much much. Did you understand what

01:00:57.110 --> 01:00:58.550
I'm saying? Did you understand what I'm saying?

01:00:58.809 --> 01:01:01.750
For which reason? Should we look at the reason?

01:01:04.530 --> 01:01:06.309
Let's look at the reason, chapter 2 verse 19.

01:01:07.369 --> 01:01:10.010
So that we will read chapter 3 together. For

01:01:10.010 --> 01:01:13.909
what reason? And that makes you to know that

01:01:13.909 --> 01:01:15.969
you are one. Now, therefore, you are no longer

01:01:15.969 --> 01:01:17.829
strangers and foreigners. This is the reason.

01:01:18.889 --> 01:01:22.989
But fellow citizens, what? And members of what?

01:01:23.230 --> 01:01:26.619
Of God's family. Of course, the household of

01:01:26.619 --> 01:01:28.340
God. It has a greater purpose in the agenda of

01:01:28.340 --> 01:01:31.400
God. Oh, do you hear what I'm saying? It has

01:01:31.400 --> 01:01:33.380
a what? Build a what? Greater purpose in the

01:01:33.380 --> 01:01:35.059
what? In the agenda of God. On the foundation

01:01:35.059 --> 01:01:37.800
of the apostles. So begin to see your path. Build

01:01:37.800 --> 01:01:40.199
on the rock. What is the foundation of the apostles?

01:01:41.480 --> 01:01:44.039
See them different. Jesus Christ. You would then

01:01:44.039 --> 01:01:47.860
appreciate. When Paul. Right. Having been built

01:01:47.860 --> 01:01:50.300
on the foundation of the apostles and the prophets.

01:01:50.460 --> 01:01:54.659
Where did we see them? Therefore. Let me ask

01:01:54.659 --> 01:01:57.739
this one now. This one is a good place to ask

01:01:57.739 --> 01:02:00.360
questions. Having been built on the foundation

01:02:00.360 --> 01:02:02.420
of the apostles and the prophets, which apostles

01:02:02.420 --> 01:02:10.900
and prophets are this? In Romans, it would say,

01:02:10.940 --> 01:02:14.820
let your members be instrument of what? Of righteousness.

01:02:18.380 --> 01:02:24.300
You can use your members. These are the New Testament

01:02:24.300 --> 01:02:28.000
in court, right? Apostles and prophets. Having

01:02:28.000 --> 01:02:30.860
been built on the foundation because they are

01:02:30.860 --> 01:02:33.679
the foundations, right? The foundation of the

01:02:33.679 --> 01:02:35.619
apostles and prophets. Jesus Christ himself.

01:02:36.260 --> 01:02:39.059
Meaning it is their message. Jesus Christ himself

01:02:39.059 --> 01:02:42.039
being the chief cornerstone. Have we been talking

01:02:42.039 --> 01:02:46.170
about a rock, a corner, a stone? In whom the

01:02:46.170 --> 01:02:48.769
whole building, which building? Upon this rock

01:02:48.769 --> 01:02:54.449
I will build my, right? In whom the whole building

01:02:54.449 --> 01:02:59.269
being fitted together grows into what? A holy

01:02:59.269 --> 01:03:05.829
temple in the Lord. In whom you also have been

01:03:05.829 --> 01:03:09.750
built together for a dwelling place of God in

01:03:09.750 --> 01:03:13.329
the spirit. So this church is what? Is in the

01:03:13.329 --> 01:03:15.539
spirit. My brothers and sisters, this church

01:03:15.539 --> 01:03:22.760
is spirit. Amen? In fact, put church equals to

01:03:22.760 --> 01:03:27.199
spirit. That is the formula. To all who are in

01:03:27.199 --> 01:03:34.460
room, beloved of God, called to be saints, grace

01:03:34.460 --> 01:03:39.920
to you and peace from God, our Father and the

01:03:39.920 --> 01:03:43.679
Lord Jesus Christ. First, The kingdom of God

01:03:43.679 --> 01:03:49.119
manifested where? On earth. Hallelujah. Now,

01:03:50.099 --> 01:03:52.880
we've known the reason, right? We've seen the

01:03:52.880 --> 01:03:56.500
reason. For this reason, I, Paul, the prisoner

01:03:56.500 --> 01:04:00.820
of Christ Jesus, for you Gentiles, indeed, if

01:04:00.820 --> 01:04:02.840
you have had this dispensation of the grace of

01:04:02.840 --> 01:04:08.920
God, Dispensation means administration, not dispensationalism.

01:04:09.139 --> 01:04:14.619
Okay. Dispensation here is what? Sir, I asked

01:04:14.619 --> 01:04:18.260
somebody about what dispensation. The person

01:04:18.260 --> 01:04:21.760
read the efficiency of the verse. So you have

01:04:21.760 --> 01:04:26.380
to correct it. Even if you have heard of the

01:04:26.380 --> 01:04:29.539
dispensation of the grace of God, which was given

01:04:29.539 --> 01:04:34.320
to me for you. Dispensation means what? The stewardship

01:04:34.320 --> 01:04:37.960
of the grace of God. The administration of the

01:04:37.960 --> 01:04:40.500
grace of God. The leadership of the grace of

01:04:40.500 --> 01:04:43.079
God that you have. How that by revelation he

01:04:43.079 --> 01:04:45.860
made known to me the mystery as I have briefly

01:04:45.860 --> 01:04:51.559
written. Already. Okay. By which when you read,

01:04:51.619 --> 01:04:53.960
you may understand my knowledge in the mystery

01:04:53.960 --> 01:04:58.920
of Christ. Which in other ages was not made known

01:04:58.920 --> 01:05:02.360
to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed

01:05:02.360 --> 01:05:05.920
by the Spirit to His holy apostles and prophets.

01:05:06.460 --> 01:05:09.099
New Testament apostles and prophets. That the

01:05:09.099 --> 01:05:11.900
Gentiles should be fellow heirs of the same body

01:05:11.900 --> 01:05:15.599
and partakers of His promise. In Christ's truth,

01:05:15.820 --> 01:05:22.820
the gospel. Of which I became a minister according

01:05:22.820 --> 01:05:27.239
to the gift of the grace of God given to me by

01:05:27.239 --> 01:05:32.400
the effective working of his power. To me, who

01:05:32.400 --> 01:05:41.409
am less than the least of all the... Of all the

01:05:41.409 --> 01:05:46.269
saints. This grace was given that I should preach

01:05:46.269 --> 01:05:49.809
among the Gentiles. Look at what they call it.

01:05:51.050 --> 01:05:54.849
Is there another word for this? Is there any

01:05:54.849 --> 01:05:59.010
translation? Unsearchable riches of Christ. Any

01:05:59.010 --> 01:06:08.139
translation? NLT, what does this say? For this

01:06:08.139 --> 01:06:11.340
reason, I also have been much hindered from coming

01:06:11.340 --> 01:06:15.019
to you. But now, no longer having a place in

01:06:15.019 --> 01:06:18.619
this path and having a great desire. Endless

01:06:18.619 --> 01:06:21.340
treasures. It shows that at this time, he has

01:06:21.340 --> 01:06:26.760
never been to Rome. He was writing this. Amen?

01:06:28.360 --> 01:06:31.559
Now, look at verse 11. Go back to Romans chapter

01:06:31.559 --> 01:06:33.820
1, verse 11. Go back, go back. I love this NLT.

01:06:33.920 --> 01:06:35.820
Go back to that NLT. I love the way he says.

01:06:35.940 --> 01:06:39.960
He said, for I long to see you. Correct. Everyone,

01:06:40.300 --> 01:06:44.099
this mysterious plan that God, the creator of

01:06:44.099 --> 01:06:46.260
all things, has kept secret from the beginning.

01:06:46.320 --> 01:06:49.980
Let's read in the end. God's purpose is plain.

01:06:50.260 --> 01:06:53.519
It's plainer. It's much more clearer. It's more

01:06:53.519 --> 01:06:56.119
explained. Why do you want to come and see them?

01:06:56.179 --> 01:06:58.320
In all this was to use where? To meet with them

01:06:58.320 --> 01:07:01.199
face to face. Remember we said he has never been

01:07:01.199 --> 01:07:02.840
to them. He has been here and he has not been

01:07:02.840 --> 01:07:07.449
to meet them. To use who? Who is the church?

01:07:08.070 --> 01:07:12.389
Who is the church? I am the church. You are the

01:07:12.389 --> 01:07:14.909
church. You are built on the rock. Hallelujah.

01:07:15.110 --> 01:07:20.010
The gospel in all this was to use the church

01:07:20.010 --> 01:07:26.730
to do what? To display his wisdom in his rich

01:07:26.730 --> 01:07:35.639
variety to all unseen rulers. In fact, another

01:07:35.639 --> 01:07:37.860
reason which he said earlier on, he said, because

01:07:37.860 --> 01:07:40.760
I want to have some fruit among you. Did you

01:07:40.760 --> 01:07:42.900
get what I'm trying to say? Rulers, authorities.

01:07:43.380 --> 01:07:45.699
To have fruit, you have to be in that place.

01:07:45.719 --> 01:07:47.320
In the heavenly places. Did you get what I'm

01:07:47.320 --> 01:07:50.260
trying to say? Amen. I don't like places. Just

01:07:50.260 --> 01:07:51.739
say in the heavenly. They will have followers.

01:07:51.800 --> 01:07:54.199
They think they are having fruit. This was his

01:07:54.199 --> 01:08:00.000
eternal plan. Hallelujah. Now he has carried

01:08:00.000 --> 01:08:05.820
it out to Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen. Because

01:08:05.820 --> 01:08:10.380
of Christ and our faith in him, we can now boldly

01:08:10.380 --> 01:08:16.239
and confidently. We can now come boldly and confidently

01:08:16.239 --> 01:08:19.579
go to God's presence. We are already in God's

01:08:19.579 --> 01:08:22.439
presence. You don't go out of God's presence.

01:08:22.619 --> 01:08:26.159
We are already in God's presence. So please,

01:08:26.159 --> 01:08:29.220
don't lose heart because of my trials. He's speaking

01:08:29.220 --> 01:08:31.600
to them. I am suffering for you, so you should

01:08:31.600 --> 01:08:35.220
be honored. You should feel honored. When I think

01:08:35.220 --> 01:08:39.720
of all these things, I fall on my knees. I pray

01:08:39.720 --> 01:08:43.359
to the Father, the creator of everything in heaven

01:08:43.359 --> 01:08:46.680
and on earth. What is his prayer? I pray from

01:08:46.680 --> 01:08:51.500
his glorious unlimited resources. He will empower

01:08:51.500 --> 01:08:55.449
you with inner strength through his spirit. Hallelujah.

01:08:56.229 --> 01:08:59.050
Then Christ will make his home in your hearts

01:08:59.050 --> 01:09:03.649
and you trust him as you trust in him. Your roots

01:09:03.649 --> 01:09:08.930
will go down to God's love and keep you strong.

01:09:09.930 --> 01:09:14.949
And may you have the power to understand as all

01:09:14.949 --> 01:09:21.609
God's people should know how wide how long how

01:09:21.609 --> 01:09:30.239
high How deep is his love? May you experience

01:09:30.239 --> 01:09:34.680
the love of Christ. Though it is too great to

01:09:34.680 --> 01:09:38.579
understand fully, then you will be made complete

01:09:38.579 --> 01:09:41.739
with all the fullness of life and power that

01:09:41.739 --> 01:09:48.020
comes from God. Now, all glory to God who is

01:09:48.020 --> 01:09:50.260
able through his mighty power at work within

01:09:50.260 --> 01:09:55.350
us. To accomplish infinitely more than we might

01:09:55.350 --> 01:10:01.250
ask or think. Glory to him in the church and

01:10:01.250 --> 01:10:03.289
in Christ Jesus through all generations forever

01:10:03.289 --> 01:10:05.529
and ever. Amen. Give me that 20 in the King James.

01:10:05.710 --> 01:10:07.270
I don't understand how they explain this one.

01:10:07.329 --> 01:10:11.810
Give me the 20 in King James. Now to him. Look

01:10:11.810 --> 01:10:14.909
at Acts chapter 9. Who is able to do through

01:10:14.909 --> 01:10:20.090
us. There are some things. Now to him who is

01:10:20.090 --> 01:10:22.149
able to do extremely above all things that we

01:10:22.149 --> 01:10:25.050
ask or think according to the power that worketh

01:10:25.050 --> 01:10:30.489
where? Where is the power? It's in you. By the

01:10:30.489 --> 01:10:38.829
Spirit. It's in us. Hallelujah. Above all things.

01:10:39.250 --> 01:10:49.880
Above all things that we ask or think. Unto him

01:10:49.880 --> 01:10:53.560
that is able to do exceeding, exceeding abundantly

01:10:53.560 --> 01:10:57.100
above all things that we ask or think according

01:10:57.100 --> 01:11:01.039
to the power. There is a power that is at work

01:11:01.039 --> 01:11:03.859
in you because you are in the spirit, because

01:11:03.859 --> 01:11:07.239
you are in the body of Christ, because Christ

01:11:07.239 --> 01:11:09.699
lives in you. There is a union between us and

01:11:09.699 --> 01:11:20.039
Christ. In us. Verse 21. Unto him be the glory

01:11:20.039 --> 01:11:25.979
in the church by Christ Jesus at all ages, world

01:11:25.979 --> 01:11:30.020
without end. Amen. Hallelujah. Amen. Hallelujah.

01:11:30.699 --> 01:11:34.760
I just want us to close our eyes and respond

01:11:34.760 --> 01:11:37.380
to this by praying and asking God. Look at what

01:11:37.380 --> 01:11:41.420
Paul has learned. I've seen your work. I've seen

01:11:41.420 --> 01:11:44.979
your work in my life. I've seen you establish

01:11:44.979 --> 01:11:48.920
me on the rock. Look at verse 17. I've seen you

01:11:48.920 --> 01:11:56.020
build me in Christ. I know what this rock is.

01:11:56.140 --> 01:11:59.659
The rock is salvation. The rock is Christ. I

01:11:59.659 --> 01:12:02.600
know what this church is. I know why the church,

01:12:02.720 --> 01:12:05.699
your desire is to show, to display through the

01:12:05.699 --> 01:12:13.960
church. And I'll accomplish your task in my generation.

01:12:16.109 --> 01:12:18.010
That I'll accomplish your tasks in my generation.

01:12:18.750 --> 01:12:20.890
That I'll fulfill your will and your purpose

01:12:20.890 --> 01:12:23.350
in my generation. The method and the system of

01:12:23.350 --> 01:12:27.689
God is man. Let me say it again. And we do that

01:12:27.689 --> 01:12:30.229
by preaching. The method and the systems of God

01:12:30.229 --> 01:12:34.050
is what? We do that by preaching. We do that

01:12:34.050 --> 01:12:45.159
by preaching. He's not angels. He's not AI. You

01:12:45.159 --> 01:12:46.739
know, stop all this. You know there is some way

01:12:46.739 --> 01:12:52.260
that you start moving in a euphoria that is...

01:12:52.260 --> 01:12:56.760
That you are doing what God has ordained you

01:12:56.760 --> 01:12:59.859
to do. Oh my God. That we are doing what God

01:12:59.859 --> 01:13:03.199
has ordained us to do. That we are establishing

01:13:03.199 --> 01:13:07.659
His work. That we are, through us, the wisdom

01:13:07.659 --> 01:13:09.760
of God in Christ is displayed to the Gentiles.

01:13:19.850 --> 01:13:26.189
Even the normal water. Hallucination. You hallucinate

01:13:26.189 --> 01:13:32.810
and give you wrong thing. Not to talk of tongues.

01:13:34.189 --> 01:13:36.729
So now we have different. It's not tongue of

01:13:36.729 --> 01:13:38.609
angel or tongues of men. This one is tongue of

01:13:38.609 --> 01:13:45.170
what? I don't know. Please pray for yourself.

01:13:45.510 --> 01:13:48.250
Did you understand what I'm saying? So Paul learned.

01:13:48.779 --> 01:13:52.100
So this is the time. But God, Jesus did not say,

01:13:52.180 --> 01:13:54.060
okay, let me finish with him. Do everything,

01:13:54.199 --> 01:13:56.359
do everything. No. Look at what he says, verse

01:13:56.359 --> 01:14:01.560
17. And Ananias, remember, already the Lord appeared

01:14:01.560 --> 01:14:04.199
to Ananias, verse 10. Now there will be activations

01:14:04.199 --> 01:14:07.500
in the subsequent sessions. Hands will be laid

01:14:07.500 --> 01:14:10.779
on you in the subsequent sessions. Prophecies

01:14:10.779 --> 01:14:12.720
will be made on you in the subsequent sessions.

01:14:13.900 --> 01:14:15.859
But it's to the end that you do the will of God,

01:14:15.859 --> 01:14:16.640
that you do the work of God. Because this is

01:14:16.640 --> 01:14:18.539
a community that saved Paul's life. That you

01:14:18.539 --> 01:14:21.619
walk in the realities of Christ. Even now there

01:14:21.619 --> 01:14:23.840
was certain disciples of Damascus, named Ananias.

01:14:24.039 --> 01:14:26.739
And to him the Lord said in a vision, Ananias,

01:14:26.760 --> 01:14:30.880
and he said, yes, here I am, Lord. He said, I

01:14:30.880 --> 01:14:35.460
am here, Lord. Then the Lord talked to Ananias

01:14:35.460 --> 01:14:39.859
and told him what to do. I told the Lord, this

01:14:39.859 --> 01:14:41.720
is not even, the Bible didn't say that Ananias

01:14:41.720 --> 01:14:45.279
is an apostle. You see, certain disciples in

01:14:45.279 --> 01:14:50.699
Damascus, Paul will have to go there and receive

01:14:50.699 --> 01:14:55.260
something. Don't joke with men. Do you understand

01:14:55.260 --> 01:14:58.720
what I'm saying? That's why I said men are the

01:14:58.720 --> 01:15:03.920
systems and the methods of God. He chose, he

01:15:03.920 --> 01:15:06.920
can do without also, but he has chosen not to

01:15:06.920 --> 01:15:08.899
do. Wait a minute. This Bible we are reading

01:15:08.899 --> 01:15:14.300
from who? So, The word of this man, what do we

01:15:14.300 --> 01:15:18.619
call it? Did you get what I'm trying to say?

01:15:21.560 --> 01:15:26.720
Be careful with me. Be careful. Pray for yourself.

01:15:26.920 --> 01:15:33.319
Pray for yourself. Listen to what Paul said in

01:15:33.319 --> 01:15:37.800
1 Corinthians. What did he do? Verse 16. Oh,

01:15:37.920 --> 01:15:40.140
talk with me. What did he do? 1 Corinthians 9

01:15:40.140 --> 01:15:42.039
verse 16. Let me read from Good News Translation.

01:15:44.539 --> 01:15:55.060
Good News Translation. He says, I have no right

01:15:55.060 --> 01:15:58.319
to boast just because I preach the gospel. After

01:15:58.319 --> 01:16:05.409
all, I am under orders to do so. It's an instruction

01:16:05.409 --> 01:16:09.710
to preach the gospel. I am under orders to do

01:16:09.710 --> 01:16:13.130
so. And how terrible it would be for me if I

01:16:13.130 --> 01:16:17.729
don't preach the gospel. In other words, war

01:16:17.729 --> 01:16:22.869
is me if I don't preach the gospel. Verse 17.

01:16:23.090 --> 01:16:25.550
If I did my work as a matter of free choice,

01:16:25.770 --> 01:16:30.310
then I could expect to be paid. But I do it as

01:16:30.310 --> 01:16:35.850
a matter of duty. Because God has entrusted me

01:16:35.850 --> 01:16:40.270
with what? With this tax. God has entrusted you

01:16:40.270 --> 01:16:44.970
with a tax. So war is you. War means trouble

01:16:44.970 --> 01:16:48.270
is you. With the disciples in what? With the

01:16:48.270 --> 01:16:52.489
disciples in where? In Damascus. Look at verse

01:16:52.489 --> 01:16:56.630
23. Now after many days were passed, the Jews

01:16:56.630 --> 01:17:00.670
plotted to kill him. But their plot became known

01:17:00.670 --> 01:17:07.939
to who? To Saul. Glory unto Jesus. Father, we

01:17:07.939 --> 01:17:09.659
find ourselves in your will and we do your will.

01:17:10.600 --> 01:17:21.420
Thank you, Holy Ghost. Thank you, Jesus. We're

01:17:21.420 --> 01:17:25.220
thankful you joined us today. Don't forget to

01:17:25.220 --> 01:17:28.079
subscribe so you're always connected to our latest

01:17:28.079 --> 01:17:31.880
sermons. You can also explore more about NDCF

01:17:31.880 --> 01:17:33.819

01:17:33.819 --> 01:17:37.300
here. We look forward to having you with us next

01:17:37.300 --> 01:18:01.449
time. God bless. This is what you cannot get

01:18:01.449 --> 01:18:05.489
from a distance. Even now, the way the world

01:18:05.489 --> 01:18:08.189
is connected. Do you get what I'm trying to say?

01:18:09.630 --> 01:18:11.550
If you are shouting, some people are following

01:18:11.550 --> 01:18:14.350
you. Is it your father from Nigeria or from Kenya?

01:18:14.789 --> 01:18:24.609
Or from Magadaska? Are we together? That will

01:18:24.609 --> 01:18:28.920
come. How will he come? But when you are planted

01:18:28.920 --> 01:18:34.119
in a local church, you're going to get help.

01:18:35.600 --> 01:18:42.420
So, again, God's church is God's wisdom of helping

01:18:42.420 --> 01:18:49.300
his family. God's church is God's wisdom of helping

01:18:49.300 --> 01:19:04.260
his family. It's God's provision. So God's church,

01:19:04.600 --> 01:19:06.819
or you can say God's people, is God's method.

01:19:08.619 --> 01:19:14.300
It's God's system. That's why neglect God's people

01:19:14.300 --> 01:19:22.439
at your own disadvantage. Impartation is part.

01:19:22.539 --> 01:19:27.039
Brother, you can't receive it from afar. Because

01:19:27.039 --> 01:19:37.039
I don't know how will you stretch the hand. You

01:19:37.039 --> 01:19:41.819
understand what I'm trying to say? Listen, laying

01:19:41.819 --> 01:19:43.819
of our hands is not something you can replace.

01:19:43.979 --> 01:19:45.960
You will see it. That's why I said it's a doctrine.

01:19:47.300 --> 01:19:49.579
You don't say, okay, if we didn't do it, we can

01:19:49.579 --> 01:19:52.619
do another thing. It's just like you say, okay,

01:19:52.960 --> 01:19:56.140
no problem. We can substitute prayer. There's

01:19:56.140 --> 01:19:58.260
no need. We can substitute prayer with, you know.

01:19:58.319 --> 01:20:00.220
You know these days, they say when you are trying

01:20:00.220 --> 01:20:02.060
to emphasize something, then you want to demarcate

01:20:02.060 --> 01:20:05.390
the other one. Maybe you must have heard some

01:20:05.390 --> 01:20:07.369
people where they say people should be hard working.

01:20:07.569 --> 01:20:10.130
Then they say, all this nonsense prayer you are

01:20:10.130 --> 01:20:12.350
praying. Why are you praying prayer? Stand up

01:20:12.350 --> 01:20:15.170
and go and walk. All this prayer, prayer, prayer,

01:20:15.289 --> 01:20:17.090
prayer. Is it prayer that will be you? You see

01:20:17.090 --> 01:20:19.430
that kind of a thing? Why won't you encourage

01:20:19.430 --> 01:20:23.250
the brother to go and walk? Why must you think

01:20:23.250 --> 01:20:37.079
that the problem is prayer? Seeth thou a man

01:20:37.079 --> 01:20:39.899
diligent in his business, he will appear before

01:20:39.899 --> 01:20:44.359
who? Kings, and not before men. Did you see a

01:20:44.359 --> 01:20:50.140
task there? He said, no, don't pray. No. So the

01:20:50.140 --> 01:20:54.159
point is that I'm trying to live with us as we

01:20:54.159 --> 01:21:00.060
move. At least two things. One, that laying of

01:21:00.060 --> 01:21:05.520
our hands is a supernatural activity. That's

01:21:05.520 --> 01:21:08.439
the point I want you to go with. That your body

01:21:08.439 --> 01:21:10.699
is not ordinary. You have looked down upon it.

01:21:10.800 --> 01:21:12.279
Each time we talk about Christianity, we say,

01:21:12.380 --> 01:21:19.720
my spirit, my spirit. Bro, you will see. Your

01:21:19.720 --> 01:21:27.779
body is an extension in the sun. Osprey was telling

01:21:27.779 --> 01:21:30.739
us, when you say the image, which we taught already

01:21:30.739 --> 01:21:34.399
earlier on, the image means God becoming a man.

01:21:34.810 --> 01:21:38.890
The express image. Are we together? So the point

01:21:38.890 --> 01:21:43.369
is our body is important. It's very, very important.

01:21:45.529 --> 01:21:49.010
So let me just read these verses for us to know

01:21:49.010 --> 01:21:53.829
the second thing I want you to know. That physical

01:21:53.829 --> 01:21:59.350
meeting of believers is necessary. It cannot

01:21:59.350 --> 01:22:02.909
be replaced. Because there are certain things

01:22:02.909 --> 01:22:06.810
that cannot be obtained except in a physical

01:22:06.810 --> 01:22:13.170
meeting. The rest of your life, you must hear

01:22:13.170 --> 01:22:18.130
this more than twice. David will say it, once

01:22:18.130 --> 01:22:22.609
have you spoken twice? You must hear it ten times.

01:22:23.449 --> 01:22:39.909
Hallelujah. Look at 2 John 12. Second John. Having

01:22:39.909 --> 01:22:43.069
many things to write to you. Having many things.

01:22:43.189 --> 01:22:48.829
Having many things to write to you. I did not

01:22:48.829 --> 01:22:54.810
wish to do so with what? But I hope to come to

01:22:54.810 --> 01:23:01.119
you and speak. How? Face to face. That our joy

01:23:01.119 --> 01:23:06.159
will be what? That means there is a limitation

01:23:06.159 --> 01:23:16.779
of pen and paper. Yes, and zoom. That one, that

01:23:16.779 --> 01:23:21.899
one, that one, that one took me. Hallelujah.

01:23:25.380 --> 01:23:30.039
Look at 3 John 2, verse 13. I had many things

01:23:30.039 --> 01:23:33.180
to write to you, but I do not wish to write to

01:23:33.180 --> 01:23:36.060
you with pen and paper. But I hope to see you

01:23:36.060 --> 01:23:40.500
shortly, and we shall speak face to face. Peace

01:23:40.500 --> 01:23:45.060
to you. Our friend greets you. Greet your friends

01:23:45.060 --> 01:23:50.100
by name. Greet the friends by name. That one

01:23:50.100 --> 01:23:52.220
is good, though. Don't be saying, hey, greet

01:23:52.220 --> 01:23:57.300
the friend by what? By name. Let me greet the

01:23:57.300 --> 01:24:04.329
last one. 1 Corinthians 11. 1 Corinthians 11.

01:24:07.930 --> 01:24:23.550
Look at 34. Verse 34. He said, but if anyone

01:24:23.550 --> 01:24:29.239
is hungry, let him eat at home. Lest you come

01:24:29.239 --> 01:24:36.739
together for judgment. And the rest, I will set

01:24:36.739 --> 01:24:41.380
in order when I what? When I call. That means

01:24:41.380 --> 01:24:46.380
that one cannot be set in order from above. After

01:24:46.380 --> 01:24:50.180
instruction, you say, this one, I will set in

01:24:50.180 --> 01:24:53.500
order when I call. There are some discussions,

01:24:53.539 --> 01:24:56.520
you say, bro, just leave it. When I arrive, we

01:24:56.520 --> 01:25:00.380
shall talk about it. In this family, there are

01:25:00.380 --> 01:25:03.840
many things you can do it from above or all of

01:25:03.840 --> 01:25:07.640
you scattered. One of it is what we are trying

01:25:07.640 --> 01:25:14.579
to discuss is the laying of hands. And no is

01:25:14.579 --> 01:25:21.460
a spiritual or supernatural activity. It's a

01:25:21.460 --> 01:25:28.720
way we extend dominion. It's the way we manifest

01:25:28.720 --> 01:25:34.560
the kingdom. It's the way we show that we are

01:25:34.560 --> 01:25:45.399
in church. As by one man sin came by one. So

01:25:45.399 --> 01:25:49.880
those that receive abundance of grace and the

01:25:49.880 --> 01:25:55.199
gift of righteousness shall live in life even

01:25:55.199 --> 01:26:00.770
by one Christ Jesus. That word reign means dominion.

01:26:01.569 --> 01:26:07.229
You know what Psalm say? They that receive abundance

01:26:07.229 --> 01:26:12.850
of grace and the gift of righteousness. Is that

01:26:12.850 --> 01:26:17.609
person here with me? He made him who know no

01:26:17.609 --> 01:26:23.390
sin to be sin. That we might become the righteousness

01:26:23.390 --> 01:26:29.289
of God in him. Are we together? So they that

01:26:29.289 --> 01:26:33.829
receive abundance of grace and the what? The

01:26:33.829 --> 01:26:37.930
gift of what? Righteousness. Shall do what? Reign

01:26:37.930 --> 01:26:45.350
in life. Even by one, Christ Jesus. It's a season

01:26:45.350 --> 01:26:51.090
of dominion. It's a season of dominion. And God

01:26:51.090 --> 01:26:53.609
wants to use your hand. God wants to use your

01:26:53.609 --> 01:26:57.250
body. Are we together? Can you just begin to

01:26:57.250 --> 01:27:06.210
