Welcome to NECF Sermons. Each message here is
designed to uplift and strengthen you in your
walk with God. Don't miss out. Stay with us until
the end for a rewarding experience. Let's dive
right in. Galatians chapter 3 Galatians chapter
3. Galatians chapter 3 verse 19. What purpose
then does the law serve? It was added because
of transgressions. till the seed shall come to
whom the promise was made. And it was appointed
through angels by the hand of a mediator. By
the hand of a mediator. It was appointed through
angels. John. chapter 14. John chapter 14. Look
at verse 11. Believe me that I am in the Father
and the Father in me. Or else, believe me, for
the sake of the works themselves. Go down to
verse 5. Chapter 5, sorry. Chapter 5. Verse 16.
For this reason the Jews persecuted Jesus and
sought to kill him, because he had done these
things on the Sabbath. But Jesus answered them,
My father has been walking until now, and I have
been walking. My father has been doing what?
Walking until now, and I have been walking. Now,
Pastor Fred, our lead pastor, started with the
introduction of what the Lord is leading us this
year to do greater works. And the theme of the
year is greater works. And one of the issues
he raised was understanding the works of God.
The works of God reveal God. Are we together?
Because he will never do anything that is against
his nature, against his character. Hallelujah.
And the series we have been taking fall. Almost
in sync with what we are introducing this year.
And we have been talking about the giving of
the law. And where I read in Galatians chapter
3 verse 19. We saw that the law was given or
was appointed through angels or through the direction
of angels. And one thing we noticed last time,
we point out a number of issues. Now, because
Moses involved angels in the giving of the law,
so we said we wanted to study a bit. about the
interactions between these angels and people,
particularly when the law was given, because
he said the law was given through the appointment
of angels. And what we are trying to do is to
come to answer a question. Remember the question
we're trying to answer? Why? We wanted to answer,
why did Moses wrote or gave the law? And why
are we focusing that? Particularly, we are focusing
in Deuteronomy 22, 5. That a woman shall not
wear that which pertained unto a man, neither
shall a man put on a woman's garments. For all
that do so an abomination. unto the Lord. I'm
reading from thy God. I'm reading from O .K.
James. Hallelujah. So we're trying to, of course,
not just only this one, all the laws he gave
to Israel. And we understood that the law was
an addition. You understand? Now, one important
thing while we are going this way to study is
to help us also as well to learn how to read
what we call the Old Testament. And because there
are lots of activities that has happened. So
somehow the works of God has been actually clouded
by a number of things. There are some things
that God did not do. Today we said it is God
that did it. So while we will take other studies
to look at some of the things men said, are we
together? That are not God. Even the men of God,
because even men of God, even the prophet of
God have said certain things that actually did
not come from God. Are we together? However,
there are some certain things, of course, and
Jesus clearly told us what their focus was. So
we can be able to understand the addition. Are
we together? We're coming to that. Because he
said that the prophet wrote concerning him. Are
we together? So that means there will be things
that will not be in alignment to the things he
has come to do. So if a prophet will say those
things, that will not mean that it is Christ
that said it. Because God is the same yesterday,
today and forever. So the God of the New Testament
is not a new God, but it is that is the actually
the unveiling of the real God that have existed.
You understand? Without time. That is even before
the world began. He is the same. And what we
are trying to appreciate is to also help us as
we move on is to study to understand that the
works of God reveal God. So if you miss on the
work of God or who did what, you are going to
miss on the character of God. And you're going
to have problem in your knowledge about God.
Are we together? So, from our last message, we
looked at to see whether what angel said. Remember,
when we took that study, the goal was not actually
to look at what the angels said, whether it is
of God or not. We are coming to that. But if
you look at what we studied, you understand,
we could see that very clearly. There are some
certainties I want us to understand. That there's
a perception about the men of old, that when
they interacted with angels, what did they encounter?
They define it as they have encountered God.
Are we together? Amen. Good. Secondly, The second
thing I want us to understand is that even though
where we read last time, you understand, it's
clear that God was the one who was speaking through
the angels. Are we together? Amen. Yes. But we
are going to go into other portions where angels
did certain things that actually is not God's.
So the essence is, as you read a portion of a
scripture, Just because you see the Lord said
doesn't mean actually is actually the God Almighty.
That means you have to study within the context
to find out whether the Lord that is speaking
is not actually the angel's opinion or the attitude
of men, you understand, or it is actually the
Lord Almighty. So what we're trying to emphasize
even in the teachings, is actually the emphasis
on contextual reading. That you cannot just use
words carelessly, you understand? Because words
are used very carefully in scripture. And that's
why he said, you are to study to show thyself
a proof. A workman who needed not to be ashamed,
rightly dividing the word of truth. That is,
every word must be taken seriously because they
have its implication. And therefore, by all that
we have been studying, we saw that angels can
be called Lord. Which means that you have to
read carefully to know who is the one called
Lord in that portion. Is it God or the angel?
Or is it man? Whoever, just you have to find
out from the reading in the context. Are we together?
So we saw that kind of a thing. And there's a
scripture I quoted in Revelation chapter... Revelation
13. Come with me, Revelation 13. I just quoted
the scripture when I listened to the last message
and I discovered that there is an adjustment
we need to do there a little bit before we just
move on because it's very important. He said,
Revelation 13 verse 8. All who dwell on the earth
will worship him whose name have not been written
in the book of life of the lamp slain from the
foundation of who? Of the world. Now if you look
at that, it says slain from the foundation of
the world. When you read this, it looks as if
the lamp that is The book of the life of the
lamb who was slain from the foundation of the
world. It looks as if the lamb was slain from
the foundation of the world. That the slain was
done where? At the foundation of the world. Are
we together? But just maybe read Hebrews with
me. Come with me, Hebrews, quickly. Hebrews 9,
9 -26. He then would have had to suffer often
since the foundation of the world. But now, once
at the end of the ages, he has appeared to put
away sins by the what? By the sacrifice of himself.
That word sacrifice of himself, that's what it
means by slain. Amen? When was he slain? When
was he slain? At the end of the age. That word
age is not there. In the root word, it's not
plural. In the sign. Those of us that have been
going to cell meeting, Would I have no problem
with this? You understand? Amen? Yes. So Christ
was sacrificed at the end of age. And we know
if you are in the cell meeting, this is not where
we'll discuss that. We understood that, that
the foundation is a word conception. You understand?
Meaning the time of the blueprints. Of what will
be accomplished, which is the word end. You understand?
Who will be accomplished. So we are in the season
of accomplishment. Of what has been the foundation.
Are we together? So what was done at the foundation
is the blueprint. Amen? It's not the slaining.
The slaining is at where? at the end of the ages.
Amen. Hallelujah. So when you look at that word,
when he said, the book of the Lamb slain from
the foundation of the world. Now, you just have
to do some rearrangement. For those of us who
have been working, I mean, going closely with
us in this church, we have discussed the issue
of Bible, understanding the Bible, and we've
done a lot of things. You understand? Now, If
you understand that when you understand the writings,
both Greek and Hebrew, you understand, there
is no word to word match. So most times when
translators are translating the Bible, if you
translate it word to word, even you can't read
it because it wouldn't make meaning. You understand?
An example of how you know what I mean is that
go and carry Turkish, you understand, and just
do word to word back to English. You will now
understand what I'm saying. the Turkish will
make meaning in English. So that means the person
who is Turkish will have to, first and foremost,
interpret it. You understand? So that it can
make meaning in English language. Are we together?
So that involves some rearrangement of words.
So, and that has to be with the understanding
of the context as well. You understand? Now that
we understand that Christ was not sacrificed
or was not slain at the foundation. He was slain
at what? At the end. So that means the blueprint
will be at the foundation. Amen. So all we just
need to do is just to bring the slain backward.
You understand? That is, we will say in the book
of life of the slain lamp. Did you see that?
Of what? The slain lamp from the foundation of
the world. That means what we are talking about
is that. If you read it now in that sense, all
who dwell on earth will worship him whose name
were not written. Now the focus of the text is
not written. You understand? Written where? In
the book of the slain lamb. But when was it written?
Are we together? It was written where? from the
foundation of the world. Hallelujah. Okay. It's
important that when you listen to this one and
then you listen to the last message, when you
combine what I just said now, it will make sense.
Hallelujah. Amen. So to know, as I said, whether
words in the Old Testament or any other place
in the Bible are really the Lord said it. Those
words must be assessed through Christ. Those
words must be assessed through Christ. God cannot
change. God can't change. The same God who was
in the Old Testament was the same God who took
on the nature of man to be known. Who took on
the nature of the man to be known. And what that
means is that Knowing God Almighty is actually
in knowing his son. Because it is in his son
that he is revealed. So that means now we have
a perfect understanding of God. So we are not
shadow boxing. When we go into Old Testament
and we are reading, we go with our chest up.
Because we have a system of assessing who says
what. And we can assess it accurately because
God now has arrived and revealed himself in the
son. And by doing so, because the son now is
a light, we can now, and we know the son, so
we can assess and know, okay, this is not the
son. And because it's not the son, so it's not
the father. Remember where I read in John chapter
five, right? He says what? That my father has
been walking. Are we together? Until now, and
I'm already doing what? Walking, which means
that you can assess the walk of the Father in
the Son. And then that's what he said. You will
know that you are one in Christ. And even if
you don't understand, just look at my walks,
you will know. Are we together? So that's the
point. And I want us to see this very important
part, why I am saying that we're going to be
assessed. And listen, just the same way today
that we make mistakes. and do certain things
that are not in alignment with God. Of course,
that doesn't show that you are not of God. Do
you understand what I'm trying to say? But sometimes
lack of knowledge or lack of understanding of
God's character and God's nature can make us
behave the way we ought not to behave. Hallelujah.
Are we together? So I want you to understand
as we study this in the interaction of angels,
sometimes when you see certain things Terrible
things that angels do doesn't mean that they
are evil spirits and they are evil angels. No.
It's because they are operating from a point
of ignorance. Oh, are you together with me? Are
you together with me? The only thing we're trying
to assess, already, as I said, we're going to
study both angels, men, because angels do walk
also. But the fact that it's a spirit that does
the walk does not mean, does not mean actually
that the walk is life. Did you understand what
I'm trying to say? Already we know that in the
law is wrath. And the law was given through angels.
So already you will know that. And those angels
are not evil angels. Did you understand what
I'm trying to say? They are not demons that fell
in the sun. So already that means some of the
things they did produced death. Hallelujah. So
that's what we are trying to study. Let me establish
something about the son more. John 1, verse 11.
Let's go to 18. John 1, 18. John 1, 18. No one
has seen God at any time. The only begotten son.
Who is in the bosom of the Father. He has declared
him. He has declared what? Him. That word no
one. Is a single word. You understand? Is. Pronounced.
Odise. Or Odise. I think it's Odise. That is
O -U -D -E -I -S. O -U. D -E -I -S. Or dies.
This verse means nothing. Nobody. None. Nothing.
Nobody. None. That is no one. Nothing. Nobody.
None. Has ever seen God. Remember in the. Previous
verse, verse 17, he said, for the law was given
through Moses, but grace and truth came through
Jesus Christ. That includes Moses. He has never
seen God. That includes angels. They have never
seen God at all. Only one. Only one. He said,
what is that one? He said, the only begotten.
The only begotten. That word, only begotten.
I think other translations, modern translations,
translated it better by saying one and only.
That's what is monogynes. Only begotten is a
word monogynes in Greek. M -O -N -O -G -E -N
-E -S M -O -N O -G -E -N -E -S. Monogenes. Monogenes
is derived from two words. It's derived from
two words. Monos. From the word monos. Monos.
M -O -N -O -S. Monos. Which means one. Or only.
Only. Of course, the one there is not talking
about number. Are we together? That one or only
is not talking about number. It's talking about
uniqueness. Are we together? And genos talk about
of a class. That's why now when you combine them,
genos, which is G -E -N -O -S. G -E -N -O -S
means class or kind. Class or kind. So when you
look at it, you will see that together when you
combine it, it's talking about one of a class
or of a kind. Are we together? Amen. Before,
as I said, when you use the word, the only begotten,
it appears because the earlier translation was
taught to be from two words. There's another
word which has to be corrected because It was
using the only begotten, which is monogynetos.
That is M -O -N -O -G -E -N -E -T -O -S. M -O
-N -O -G... E -double -N -E -T -O -S. That was
the earlier because this one, if you split it
into two, the first part, which is mono, which
is monos or one or only. Then the second one
is actually a word. Also, we call it genao. Genao.
When you combine the two, you have monogenetos.
Genao is actually begat. Genao is G -E -N -N
-A -O. G -E -N -N -A -O. So that means monogenetos
is actually a compound word of two words, monos
and genao. When you combine them, it gives you
genao means begat or to bear. So initially, by
using the only begotten, it appears as if he's
talking about something that you gave birth to.
But that's not the communication. You understand?
It's not about giving birth. Actually, the right
Greek word is what we have already talked about,
that the monogenes, which is one and only, that
is of a different class or of a kind. Are we
together? Amen. So it's talking about uniqueness,
not actually procreation or giving birth to.
It's talking about uniqueness. So, and we can
find that in several places in scripture are
particularly used for Jesus, at least King James.
When you check, Earlier, newer translation like
ESV, they use one and only and some other translation,
one and only. That's the right word. To depict
uniqueness, not actually to give bet. Are we
together? Yes. So if you look at, they say, please,
maybe I will use this one. Hebrews chapter 11.
Hebrews chapter 11 verse 17. Hebrews 11, 17.
He said, by faith, Abraham, when he was tested,
offered up Isaac, and he who had received the
promise, offered up his only begotten. Again,
this is supposed to be one and only. Are we together?
That's why when you read the account in Genesis
22, you say, take up your son, your only son.
It will look as if he's saying he has only...
one son. No, that only is talking about uniqueness.
That is, Isaac is unique. He's not talking about
number. Are we together? Because Abraham also
had Isaac at that time already. Are we together?
So it cannot be a number. Say, your only son.
Of course, it's not only son because Ishmael
is there. Amen? So he's talking about uniqueness.
And that's exactly what he's talking about. When
you look at what he said, the uniqueness of that
song, he said the only unique song. You understand?
And then he said, in the bosom. Of course, that
word is figurative in nature. Because when you
talk about bosom, you're talking about, of course,
some of us that are English, we normally use
the word bosom friend. Are we together? What
you're talking about, you're talking about somebody,
this is relational, of a unique and intimate
relationship. That's what you are talking about.
That is, this person is not like any other. You
understand? So, he's talking about the unique
relationship of Christ and the Father. And he
now said that he had declared him. Remember,
he said no one has seen God. No one has seen
God. In verse 14 of John 1. In verse 14 of John
1. You know what I'm saying? And the word became
flesh. And dwell among us. And we beheld his
glory. The glory of the only begotten. That word
would be what? One and only. Are we together?
Of the father full of grace and truth. It's not
two things. Grace which is truth. Are we together?
Yes. The very first time God was seen by both
men, because he said no one has seen him. The
very first time both men and angels have seen
God is in the song. The first time both men and
angels have seen God. is in the Son. 1 Timothy
3 .16 1 Timothy 3 .16 And without controversy,
great is the mystery of godliness. God was what?
Was what? Manifested where? In the flesh. Justified?
In the spirit. Seen by who? Seen by who? Angels.
Preach among Gentiles. Believed on the world.
Received up in what? In glory. Are we together?
That's the first time angels ever saw God. Manifested
in the flesh. manifested in the flesh. It means
to unveil, to uncover, manifest, to unveil, to
uncover. That is, God was manifest in the flesh.
Angels never saw God in his fullness till he
was revealed in the sun. He said, great is a
mystery of godliness. That word mystery, you
understand, Is no longer mystery. Why? Now is
what? Manifested. Hallelujah. Amen. So that means
the father revealed himself. To humanity. And
also to angels in the son. So in the son. Or
the son is a perfect. And complete revelation.
Of God. So, when you know the father, that means
you are saying you know the son. Or you can only
know the father by knowing the son. So the mystery,
the uncertainty, the confusion, the complexity,
the double -mindedness about the father, where
is he explained? Where is he explained? In the
son. Where is it unveiled? In the Son. Where
is it revealed? In the Son. Where is it resolved?
In the Son. So as we go through the Old Testament
and through the entire Bible, every confusion,
every complexity, every uncertainty is revealed
in the Son. You don't see it in Christ, it's
not God. Sing full and short. Are we together?
You know, some people will ask, but sir, who
did it then? I say it's not God. What is your
problem? It's not God. So there's no revelation
of the father outside God. What he has revealed
about himself is in the son. So when Moses recruited
angels to write what was shown or to give the
law instead, definitely you know. There is no
how at that time angels could ever have been
accurate to write about God. Because how could
they have known him? You understand? So don't
be shouting because an angel appeared to you.
Don't jubilate yet. You have to bring and look
at what is revealed to you. through the lenses
of the sun, there is nothing that will ever be
revealed to you that is greater than what you
have received already. I don't want you to look
down on yourself in the sun because you have
received the sun and you are in him. So anything
that is coming from outside, even if you have
revelation and you've seen an angel appear to
you, glory be to God. That's good. But don't
begin to feel suddenly that now you will even
change your name. Because that's how so many
people have changed their names. They have moved
from brother straight to apostle. You know, sir.
Why? They say because they have seen. They have
had an encounter. Because I've listened to some
people, they say the definition of an apostle
is that they have seen Jesus. Which type of seeing
Jesus are you talking about? Amen. Hallelujah.
Amen. Now, let me just touch on a few things.
Now, apart from the word the Lord said, the Lord
said, there's another thing I want us to note
also as we study. It's the word God. Also, God
said, God said, God said, God said, you understand?
God, the word God, is the word Elohim, you understand?
E -L -O -H -I -M, Elohim. Of course, it appears
many times in the King James Bible, throughout
the Bible. I mean, through the scriptures, the
Old Testament text. More than 2 ,000 times. And
it is used to describe a number of things. It
is used to describe anything divine, great in
different contexts, mighty, like deities, judges,
angels, rulers, you understand? Gods. Again,
some names that we'll be mentioning, You understand?
Sometimes they can be interchanged. But just
understand that that's why each time I'm talking
about any word, I give you what I'm talking about.
When I use the word law, you understand? I will
tell you what I mean by the law because we are
discussing the law of Moses. So you know the
law I'm talking about. But that doesn't mean
anywhere you see law. That means it's a law of
Moses. Do you understand what I'm trying to say?
I've said that. The same thing, this word angels,
you understand? Now, because I'm talking about
spirit beings, you understand? You understand
what I mean? Continue to use the word angels,
angels. But there are places where men are called
angels. Some places where God is called an angel.
Do you understand what I'm trying to say? So
what that means is that, again, this word, even
man, the word man, you know, solely by this thing.
When we read, for example, the... What do you
call it? Those men that encounter Abraham, you
understand, they are called, when they enter
Sodom with Lord, they are called the men. But
they are what? Angels. You understand what I'm
saying? What that means is that, so what I'm
trying to say is that there's no, there's no
one word that has a blanket meaning that you
carry it everywhere. You understand? Because
the word man is a The word they use in Sodom
for those angels is Ish. Ish means the male,
male man, not Adam, the male man. You understand?
So what that means is that you don't just see
what like that and just say, okay, this is it.
No. You have to now read to know actually who
is that or what is that. Again, this is emphasizing
that. You have to learn to really solely, primarily
depend on the context. You understand? To be
able to know the meaning of words. So, so far,
I'm using angels as spirit beings. So, when I
mention angel, you know what I'm talking about.
Amen? Amen. So, now, the word Elohim is obtained
from the root word Elal. Allow. That's a singular
word because Elohim is plural of allow. E -L
-O -A -H. E -L -O -A -H. Allow. Now, in this
regard, when you assume because the word Elohim
is plural of allow, which means God, normally
you see it as God. You will see God said. God
said. So you need to read very carefully to know
which God is he talking about. And you know,
interestingly, sometimes translators also, because
translators are actually interpreters. So sometimes
they will as well help, not really deliberate
because they are very helpful people. It's not
deliberate, but in their reading, sometimes they
can make mistakes too. Because sometimes by saying
big G, all of us think that is the God Almighty.
Is that correct? But sometimes again, they will
put small G. But even places they put big G is
not actually the Almighty God. Did you understand
what I'm trying to say? So you have to depend
to read context. It's not by capital or small
letter that we know which one is which. Did you
get what I'm trying to say? Hallelujah. Genesis
32. Genesis 32. Look at verse 24. Then Jacob
was left alone, and a man wrestled with him until
the breaking of the day. Now, when he saw that
he did not prevail against him, he touched the
socket of his hip and the socket of Jacob's hip
was out of joint as he wrestled with him. And
he said, let me go for the daybreak. But he said,
I will not let you go unless you bless me. So
he said to him, what is your name? He said, Jacob.
And he said, your name shall no longer be called
Jacob, but Israel. For you have struggled with
who? With who? That word is Elohim. You understand?
God and with men and have prevailed. You understand?
Then, Jacob asked, saying, tell me your name,
I pray. And he said, why is it that you ask about
my name? And he blessed him. And there. And he
blessed him there. So Jacob called the name of
the place Penuel. For I have seen who? God, face
to face, and my life is what? is preserved. Hosea
chapter 12. Hosea chapter 12. Look at verse 2.
Hosea 12 verse 2. The Lord also brings a charge
against Judah. And will punish Jacob according
to his ways. According to his deeds. He will
recompense him. He took his brother by the heel
in the womb. And in his strength, he did what?
He did what? He struggled with who? Are we together
now? He struggled with who? With God. Yes. He
struggled with who? These people are not following.
Are we together? Verse 4. Yes, he struggled with
who? And what? So, that is saying that what he
said he struggled with God is actually the angel
he's talking about. So, you can see that God
here is big letter. Right? Capital letter. That
is an angel. Even the angel here is put capital
because they are trying to refer to it because
Israel here capital is God. You understand? But
look at what, if you go back to where we read
in Genesis, you will see that. What has happened?
The man, Jacob, that's what he saw. He's an angel
that he struggled. Even from the first one, they
called the person the man. Did you see that?
Verse 24. Then Jacob was left alone and a man
wrestled in the sand. So you could see that Jacob
wrestled with an angel. But then look at what
he said. He said, I have seen God, what? Face
to face. Remember what Jesus said. No one has
seen God. No one at any time. We see just like
we studied last week. That's their perception.
It's that they have an encounter with spirit
beings. You understand? They consider it as an
encounter with God. So they had, because their
worldview is shaped. very profoundly, you understand,
by the spirit world. The way they see the spirit
world is profoundly different from how our world
is now, you understand. Because the world has
become sophisticated now. We are too materially
connected. They, in those days, they are very
much, so much connected. It's a usual occurrence,
you understand. It's not something, a strange
thing. So, and because of... Most times when
they, because remember, remember what we are
saying. We're going to see it. Their knowledge
of God, of course, is not perfect as we are now
that we know because we have the son revealed,
you know, son. So each time, most of them, you
know, son, as we see several times, they consider
an encounter with an angel. Even when they know,
for example, Manoah, we read the other time,
they clearly knew there is an angel, but they
still consider it as what? as God, encounter
with God. Amen. Are we together? The Psalmist,
Psalm 8. Let's look at Psalm 8. Psalm 8, verse
1. Lord, our God, how excellent is your name
in all the earth. Who have set your glory above
the heavens out of the mouth of babes and nursing
infants? You have ordained strength because of
your enemies that you may silence the enemy and
the avenger. Verse 3. When I consider your heavens,
the work of your The moon and the stars which
you have ordained. What is man that you are mindful
of him? The son of man that you visit him. For
you have made him a little lower than angels.
And you have crowned him with glory and honor.
That word angels. is Elohim. A little lower than
angels. That word is Elohim. So, what I'm trying
to say is that in several places you could see
that sometimes God is angel or Elohim is referring
to spirit beings. You understand? But you really
have to read to understand is the same word,
for example, Elohim, in the beginning, Genesis
1 verse 1, God created the what? The heavens
and the what? In the earth. That word God, you
understand, is not an angel. Do you understand
what I'm saying? But it's the same word, Elohim.
You understand? Because when you read, by the
time you read chapter 2, we now saw that, God
ended his work and he rested in the seventh day.
Amen. Are we together? So this one we're talking
about God the creator, not angel the created.
Did you understand what I'm trying to say? So
you have to read context to understand whether
Elohim is talking about angel or whoever. You
understand? Interestingly, when we read When
we come to the New Testament, because I told
you, the New Testament is not presenting a new
God. It's unveiling the real God. It's unveiling
the real God. And by the time you come to New
Testament, come, let's look at that text, Psalms
8, because it was quoted in Hebrews. And I think
we're going to study Hebrews, maybe now and,
I mean, And maybe Wednesday. Yes. To help us
in our clarification. Again, the difference between
angels and the son, because it's the son that
review God, not angels. Are we together? So as
the more we understand the son, the more we know
God. Amen. So, so that doing that will help us
by the time you move. to the Old Testament you
are reading, whatever you see, you will look
at it via the lenses of the sun. You can be able
to understand what the place is saying. Hebrews
chapter 1, verse 1. God, who at various times
and in various ways spoke in time past to the
fathers by the prophets, has in these last days
spoken to us by his Son, whom he has appointed
Heirs of all things, through whom also he made
the walls. who being the brightness of his glory
and the express image of his person, upholding
all things by the word of his power, when he
had by himself purged our sins, sat at the right
hand of the majesty on high. Of the majesty on
high. Look at chapter 2. Chapter 2. Verse 5,
chapter 2, verse 5. For he has not put the walls
to come, of which we speak in subjection to angels.
But one testified in a certain place, saying,
What is man, that you are mindful of him? Or
the son of man, that you take care of him? You
have made him a little lower than angels. You
have crowned him with glory and honor. and set
him over the works of your hands, you have put
all things in subjection under his feet. Again,
the word angels there, but in Greek, is angelos.
Angelos. A -double -G -E -L -O -S. Of course,
we see this is a quotation from Psalms 8. Now
we will discuss on what is the distinction between
angels and the son. You know, what the angel
will give will not be the same with what the
son will give. They are in a different class.
Remember we said the only one and only, that
is, he is unique. In his class. Did you understand
what I'm trying to say? Yes. Hallelujah. And
the idea. And our goal. Is to study. By the works
of God. We will know. No more confusion again.
About who did what. And who is he. So our focus
is that we understand who act what. Because before
now, the devil has enjoyed popularity. Jesus
unveiled him that he has been sinning from the
beginning. The Bible says Cain is of the wicked
one. The devil was there behind him doing the
thing, influencing him. But we didn't see him.
You understand? When devil was actually doing
hellfire behind and was destroying the things
of Job, Job didn't know the devil was there.
What we're saying is that there are so many things
you'll be shocked. The one you call it is God.
He's not God. Because we are trying to see how
we will unveil the person behind the works you
have been seeing. That those works are not God's
work. Because God's work that he has come to
destroy the works of the devil. Hallelujah. And
the works of the devil is finishing your life
in Jesus name. Even his influence. No more ignorance
this year. We are moving in a different dimension.
Dimension of knowledge and of greater works.
Because greater works is done in knowledge. We
appreciate you being here today. We hope you
carry this word with you throughout your week.
