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. Hallelujah. Praise God. So we'll just
quickly continue like I said. that we're just
having an introduction. We'll finish the introduction
today. And when next we meet, we'll talk more
on the name of Jesus, right? Yes, so prior to
now, there's nothing called the name of Jesus
prior to the coming of Christ, right? There was
nothing called the name of Jesus. There was nothing
in the name. Prophet Elijah will not say, I call
down rain in the name of who? In the name of
Jesus. Hallelujah. Yeah, so Moses will not part
the sea in the name of what? Jesus said, this
rod that I carry, I strike the sea in the name
of, oh ye red sea, hear the voice of God and
in the name of Jesus, you will divide. Bah, no.
Amen. Prior to now, Jeremiah will not come and
say, in the name of Jesus, I prophesy. No. Jonah
will not be called to send an assignment to Nineveh
to preach the gospel and then in the name of
Jesus. There was nothing called in the what?
In the name of Jesus. All we see, all we hear,
all we read are all prophecies that have been
spoken about who? About Christ. Hallelujah. So
what do we see? Let me put it this way. All that
we see from the Old Testament that have been
prophesied, right? Or let me put it this way
carefully. All that we see in the Old Testament
are prophetic words about the name of who? The
name of Jesus. Amen? Do you understand what I
just said now? All that we read or all that has
been said, all the prophecies in the Old Testament
are about the name of who? The name of Jesus.
In the Old Testament, you won't see in my name.
Hallelujah. Are we all here? So in the Old Testament,
you won't see what? You won't see anybody, you
know, doing anything in the name of who? In the
name of Jesus. But all we see are prophecies.
That's what we read on Sunday in Luke, right?
Yeah, ought not Christ to have suffered and to
enter into his what? Glory. So all that the prophets
have prophesied concerning who? Concerning me.
Praise God. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Yeah, so
why are we seen in the name? We are seeing in
the name now, in the New Testament, right? I'm
using this separation carefully now. In the New
Testament, because now, that which has been prophesied
has been what? Has been fulfilled. Amen? That
which has been prophesied from the Old Testament,
now by the prophets, has been what? Fulfilled.
Praise God. And now, those things that the prophets
have spoken, right? Just part of them. What we
see that we say in Matthew, Mark, Luke, John,
the fulfillment more had to do with the incarnation
of Christ. Amen? But now the authority in the
name of Jesus, right? The fulfillment now is
when? After the resurrection. Praise God. So
the authority, let me use the word, the legal
authority giving for the name of Jesus to be
in function on the earth, right? Started after
what? After the resurrection of Christ Jesus.
Hallelujah. Glory to Jesus. Hallelujah. Yes.
So, we need to put this so that in the Old Testament,
all we see is what? Prophecies. Hallelujah. Matthew,
Mark, Luke, eyewitness account about what? Jesus
is humanity, right? And it's the work of ministry.
So, we see just a part of the prophecies that
have been spoken. Right now in fulfillment because
Jesus has been born. Amen. And then we see the
work of his ministry on the earth. Praise God.
But is that actually where the name of Jesus
is? No. Praise God. But now we see now from the
prophecy, little has been prophesied. Now we
see his suffering because the prophecy is specific.
Ought not Christ to have what? Suffered, right?
He will die. He will be buried. And the third
day he will be what? So you see there is emphasis.
on that which Christ is making regarding what
ought to be fulfilled. So that remission and
repentance, right, of sins can be preached to
how many nations? All nations. And that now we
see it happening after what? The resurrection.
Hallelujah. So Elijah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Moses,
all of them never used the name of Jesus. All
of them prophesied about what? The name of Jesus.
Hallelujah. Glory to God. Glory to God. So question
which we'll address later, does it mean that
now when they, all the mighty power they commanded,
all the things they did, they were doing it in
whose name? In whose authority? Who gave them
that authority to do it? Hallelujah. Now that
is a big question somebody will have. Amen? Because
if you are saying that, we are the ones now,
we should preach in the name. We should cast
out devil. So those guys, what were they using?
Hallelujah. Praise God. And we said Elijah prayed
in James chapter 5. Elijah prayed fervently.
A man like us, right? There will not be rain.
And rain ceased. And he prayed again. Rain came.
Oh, what such a power. Do you know when you do
that in this season? You meet our president,
President Erhuman. Right? And you just say, at
my words. This season, there will not be summer
again. For the next three months. And then, rain
starts. At the end of the summer, the three months,
you say, add my words. Let the rain stop. What
do you think will happen in this country? No,
no, let's just start. What do you think will
happen? Victory. I will use you because you are
revolutionaries. So let's assume that happened
to you. What do you think will happen in this
country? Okay, all attention will be on him,
yes? They will give him... They will believe
what you believe, okay? Yes, now don't be shy.
Now don't be shy. Doctor, what do you think will
happen? Nothing will happen. Okay. That's good.
Yes, what do you think will happen? Okay, they
will protect you to see how reliable you are.
Okay? Hallelujah. But do you know there will
be chaos in this island? Especially you will
be picked and kept somewhere for observation.
How is it possible? That you had all boldness
to walk to the presidency, say there will not
be this, and it happened, and then yet you come.
Is that not power? No, now, talk to me now. Is
that not power? It's power. I'm saying it now
because I said something that somebody will ask.
If Elijah could use this, you know, demonstrate
this mighty power, and yet not in the name, then
on whose authority was he what? Was he doing
that? It's a big question you're supposed to
ask. Hallelujah. So when we come fully, now we'll
talk why that happened. Hallelujah. Good. So,
that's one part. Second part now is, we said
the name Onoma or the meaning of Onoma is what?
No, now let's look at our notes. Okay, open book
exams. Let's look at our notes. Yes, open book
exams. Onoma. Eh? No, don't go the other, first
Onoma. It's Pastor Ema here. Let's just close
this service. Onoma. Onoma. Did you write anything?
Okay, yes. Okay, what is Onoma? Eh? Proper names,
right? First, right? Eh, it is yes now. Koston.
Peter. Chokobleke. Uzaya. Proper names. Praise
God. But now we now say figuratively, it will
mean what? Office, authority, function, ability,
position, yes? Character. So do you think if
we are saying in the name of Jesus, are we dealing
with proper names or we are talking about figurative,
function, office, character, ability? What do
you think we'll be discussing? So why do you
think we'll not talk about his office function?
Why do you think that we should be talking about
his name, Jesus? Proper name. Why do you think
we should just focus on proper name? All, sir.
Both either in English or Greek or... Why do
you think if we should focus, why do you want
to focus on function of his rather than propane?
Because he's not what? Huh? I don't know. We'll
collect the money. You know, a man of God wants
to be the cashier. Praise God. Because it's not
only Jesus. Because when we check Jesus meets
Joshua, prior to now, we had Joshua's on the
land. Praise God. Yes, we had Joshua's on the
land. From the Old Testament, were there not
Joshua's? We had Joshua's. There were people
with the name Jesus. Even today, my brother's
name is Jesus. Praise God. But is he walking
on water? Is he dying and suffering and entering
into glory? Praise God. In fact, during Jesus'
time, there were people who were named what?
Jesus. Praise God. Even after Jesus' time in
Acts of the Apostles, there were people who were
named what? Jesus. So it means that there is
more that we are looking at than just what? Proper
name. Jesus. Jesus. Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
To just specify that he came from Nazareth. It's
not the naming we learned, right? Both in the
cell meeting, even in the church here. It's not
the naming. There is more the believer needs
to know about what the name of Jesus is. Because
that's where authority is. The prayers we just
had today about the boldness that will come upon
us. In fact, we are going to read that place.
It's part of the scriptures we are going to read.
He said that, you know, he said, Grant unto thy
servant, what? Boldness. Acts chapter 4. Right?
That by the name of thy holy child, Jesus, thy
healing be what? Be done. Hallelujah. So the
gospel will be preached and healings will take
place by the name of what? But you see, when
the apostles were talking about by the name of
that holy child Jesus, they were not talking
about the name. Praise God. They had a proper
understanding of what? Of what they were praying
or what they were saying. So if they were in
our midst today, right? And we say the name of
Jesus, they will not take it as proper name of
Jesus. Praise God. Do you know why? Pastor Fred
taught us. Because in Acts chapter 1, those 30
days that he took to teach them, those were the
things that they learned from it. So they will
not be just saying that in the name of Jesus
as proper name. No. Because already now they
know that Jesus has already brought to their
understanding, right? That it behoved that he
be suffered to die and be raised the third day,
right? And from that, now the result of all those
events is that in my name. So if they were praying
or if they, in Acts chapter 4, they are praying
that by the name of the Holy Child, Jesus. In
fact, let's read it this way so that you understand.
Acts chapter 4, verse 24, everybody. And when
they heard that, they lifted up their voice to
God with one accord and said, Lord, thou art
God, which has made heaven and the earth and
the sea. Did they say that they were against
them? Did they say they were against them? See
what they said. Against who and who? That the
priests and all the rulers are against who? Against
the Lord, right? They were against Jesus Christ.
Praise God. Good. Perfect. So which means the
believer, right, on the earth, his assignment
and function is not for him. Praise God. 2 Corinthians
chapter 5 says that we are ambassadors for who?
For Christ. Amen. Good. So now, see now, 26.
The kings of the earth stood and then the rulers
were gathered together against the Lord and against
his Christ. 27. See. For a truth against thy
holy, what? Child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed,
both Herod and Pontius Pilate with the Gentiles
and the people of Israel were gathered, what?
Who are they gathered against? Against Jesus.
Hallelujah. Does this look like Mark chapter
16 and then Luke chapter 24? Let's go to Luke
chapter. So put your hands in that Acts chapter
4 that we read and then put that verse 29, right?
Heal and signs and wonders may be done by the
name of what? Thy holy child, what? Jesus. So
underline that word by the name of thy holy child,
Jesus. Right? Good. We know the name of Jesus.
His proper name is what? Jesus. Right? Good.
Let's go to Luke chapter 24, everybody. Verse
47. And that repentance and remission of sins
shall be preached in what? In his name among
what? All nations beginning at? To 46, everybody,
46. And said unto them, Thus it is written, Thus
and thus it behoved Christ to suffer and to rise
from the dead, the what? What was written? Let's
go up to 44. And he said unto them, These are
the words which I speak unto you while I was
yet with you, that all things must be what? Fulfilled.
Right? Which were written in the law of Moses
and in the prophets and in the Psalms and what
concerning who? So what were the things written
now? 45. Then opened he their understanding that
they might understand the what? The scriptures.
Amen? Good. So 46. What were the things that
were written? He said, thus it is written. And
thus it behooved Christ to suffer and to rise
from the dead, the what? So here was written
by Moses. What was written by Moses? Christ will
suffer, yes? Good. And then from there, now 47,
let's read all together. And that repentance
and remission of sins shall be what? In his name
to what? To all nations, right? Beginning at
what? At Jerusalem, right? So everybody now,
carry verse 46. Verse 46, that says, thus it
is written, thus it behoove Christ to suffer
and to rise from the dead. The what? The third
day. Carry that place and put it in Acts chapter
4, right? Verse 30, by stretching forth thy hand
to heal and the signs and wonders may be done
as a result of Christ's death and resurrection.
From what? From the dead. Hallelujah. Because
that is why, this is the understanding the apostles
had. Their function or the work of ministry in
their hands was not as a result of using the
proper name of who? Of Jesus. 36. Everybody go
to 45. Luke chapter 24 verse 45. That is what
the apostles were using. Luke chapter 24 verse
45. Then opening here they are what? Understanding
that they might understand the what? The scriptures.
So the apostles, were sanctioning as a result
of understanding of what? Of the scriptures.
So what I just said now in summary, that the
believer's authority, right, is resting upon
the understanding of what? Of the scriptures.
What is written in the scriptures? That Christ
will suffer, right, and he will die, be buried,
and he will be raised of what? The third day.
That's where the authority of the believer lies.
You see, if you pay attention, when they gathered
in Acts chapter 4, they didn't say that the princes
and the rulers were gathering against us. Come
on Lord, look at us. Pity us. These people are
fighting against us. Is that what they said?
No. In fact, the next verse, they said they have
ganged up against Jesus Christ. Glory to Jesus.
Good. So, that's the second thing now that I
just said, right? Yeah, so first thing that I
started by saying is prior to now in the Old
Testament, nobody is talking about in the name
of what? Jesus. I established that, right? Good.
So are we all there on the same page? Don't worry.
When we come properly, we'll go to that place
and then walk through. Then now we're establishing
also that now what we see is not about the proper
name of what? The proper name of Jesus. But rather,
the apostles were functioning from what? Understanding.
Understanding of what? The scriptures. What scriptures?
What is written about who? About Christ. That
it behooves Christ to suffer, to die, and to
be raised from what? From the dead. Do we understand
this so far? Glory to God. So now, what we now
did on Sunday, right? We're able to look at,
where did we stop on Sunday? We stopped at Mark,
Jerusalem and Eugenia, right? And then we ran
down to Matthew. We read Matthew. Amen? Good.
So, Now, let's go to Matthew 28. Matthew 28.
Matthew what? 28. Everybody, let's go there.
Verse 19. So, so far, so good. We know onoma,
right? Proper name and then figuratively function
now, right? Ability, office, authority, right?
Good. Perfect. So, you can go and do more such.
If you check your BLB and all those things, you
see all those clarifications there. Glory to
God. Good. So, now. Matthew 28, everybody. Verse
19. And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying,
All power is given unto me in heaven and in what?
And in earth. Go ye therefore and teach all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father and
of the Son and of what? And of the Holy Ghost.
Does this place look like Luke chapter 24? Right?
After he finished speaking to them, he said that
repentance and remission of sins will be preached
what? In my name. Hallelujah. To all nations.
Glory to God. And then in Mark chapter 16 also,
we see the same instruction, right? Perfect.
So now, in Matthew 28, we said onmerma means
what? Authority, right? Function, right? Office.
Ability, yes. And what again? Character. Glory
to God. Then now, read it this way, everybody.
18 now. And Jesus came and spoke unto them, saying,
Right? In my name, go ye therefore and teach
all nations, baptizing what? Baptizing them in
the name of the Father and of the Son and what?
And of the Holy Ghost. So underline the what?
In the name of the Father and of the Son and
the Holy Ghost. We are coming to that. Because
this is the only place you will see where in
the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy
Ghost is mentioned. You won't see it anywhere.
Praise God. You won't see it anywhere. You know,
we will always do it. In the name of the Father,
you touch your forehead. and of the son you touch
your chest is it right or left yeah and of the
holy ghost so the hand is here then the holy
ghost rests here you know say amen you know or
as many of us that are watching football before
they do before they do substitutes as they are
doing like this you know and then they'll enter
and you wonder okay what was that just a fast
charm That was initiated. Hallelujah. See, in
this church, this is not the name of Jesus. Glory
to God. Praise God. It is not the name of Jesus.
No. This does not work here. Glory to God. What
works here, right, is the resurrection of who?
Of Jesus. That's what works. In fact, let's say
it this way. The resurrection of Jesus works
for me. And say it this way. I work in the resurrection
of Jesus. I function in the resurrection of Jesus.
Yes, that's where the authority lies. Praise
God. All the things we have been discussing all
this while about the things of the Spirit, praying
in the Holy Ghost, demonstration, all the things,
all the things are a product of the resurrection
of who? Of Jesus. Heal the sick. Resurrection.
Cast out devils. Resurrection. Speak in new tongues.
Resurrection. It's the gospel. Resurrection.
That's it. So now, let's read 18. And Jesus came
and spoke unto them, saying, All power is given
unto me in heaven and what? Some versions will
use the word authority. Okay, thank you for that.
You see, all authority has been what? Given to
me in what? In heaven and what? And on earth.
Now, Keep this for us like this. Go to Luke 24.
Because we are doing lots of study here so that
we really get what we are doing. Luke 24. 47.
Read it this way. And that repentance and remission
of sins should be preached in my authority among
what? All nations beginning at what? Jerusalem.
Does that make sense to us? Does it make sense
to us? Does it make sense? Let's read it again.
Repentance and remission of what? Of sins shall
be preached in my authority. Among what? All
nations beginning at what? Does it make sense
to us? Mark. Mark chapter 16. Let's read Mark
chapter 16. And this sign, verse 17. And this
sign, just keep this to it. Just hold it. Verse
17. And this sign shall follow them that believe
in my authority, in my office. In my ability,
right, they will do what? They shall cast out
devils. They shall speak with what? With new
tongues. Does it make sense to us? Does it make
sense? So, if all the places we have read now
made that sense to us, what do you think Matthew
chapter 18 will be saying? And Jesus came and
spoke to them saying, all authority has been
given to me in heaven and on earth. What do you
think he'll be saying in Matthew? Matthew 28.
Good. Immediately he said that statement about
the authority. Mind you, don't forget. We said
that these statements that Jesus is making is
upon his resurrection. Praise God. Jesus never
made these statements before his resurrection.
These statements that Jesus is making now is
upon his what? Is upon his resurrection. So after
he has finished saying, all authority in heaven
and on earth has been given to me. See the next
statement. He said, do what? Yes, what do you
think he'll be saying? Yeah? Okay, his name is
the authority. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
You are right, my yes. I want you to put it in
Matthew 18 now. In Matthew, go to 18, 28, 18.
Yes? Yes, so put it in this verse now. And put
it now, put it now, put it, put it, put it now.
Let's go. And Jesus came and spoke to them saying,
In my name. In my name. Next verse. Go ye what?
Go therefore and make disciples of how many nations?
All nations, baptizing them in the name of what?
The Father and of the Son and what? And of the
Holy Ghost. Next verse. Teaching them to observe
all things that I have what? Commanded you. However,
we have learned these all things I have commanded
you is not what we have read in Luke 24. Right?
Which we now see in Acts chapter 1. The 50 days
of all the teachings, right? And he says, I am
with you. And Lord, I am with you always, even
to the end of what? To the end of age. So what
Jesus was saying in Matthew 28, verse 18, and
then now telling them to go therefore, he said,
in my right, in my authority, in my name, go
therefore and make disciples of how many nations?
All nations. Glory to Jesus. So somebody will
now ask a question. How about in the name of
the Father? the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. What
happens to it? I say we should do what? Underline
it and keep it. We are coming to it. Praise God.
Are we all here? So now we see the name of Jesus,
the authority of Jesus. So on Sunday, one of
the things we said, we want to establish that
if Jesus said that statement in Luke, right,
we expect also to see an account of such statements
in Matthew, amen, in Mark, and also in what?
in john hallelujah praise god so now everybody
let's go to john's account let's go to john's
account everybody john chapter 20 verse 30 are
we all on the same page so far good john chapter
20 everybody is anybody confused so far you are
not understanding what's happening are we all
understanding are we all understanding good perfect
john 20 verse 30 everybody And he says, are many
other signs truly did Jesus did in what? In the
presence of his disciples which are not written
where? In this book. But these are written that
ye might what? Believe that Jesus is what? Is
the Christ, the Son of God and believing ye might
have life through what? Ye might have life through
what? Through his name. all that we have seen,
his death, burial, and resurrection, is that
believing, these things were written, that believing
these things, we might have life. How do we have
the life? Through his what? Through his name.
Glory to Jesus. We might have life. Do you see
this aligns with Mark chapter 16, the instruction
he gave? Let's go to Mark chapter 16. Let's go
to Mark chapter 16, everybody. Mark chapter 16,
verse 15. And he said unto them, Go ye into all
the world, preach the gospel to every creature,
he that what? Can you see? And that believing,
right? Ye might have what? Life through his what?
Through his name. Believer and his baptized shall
be what? Shall be saved, shall have life. But
he that believeth not shall what? Shall be damned.
Glory to Jesus. So that's what we are seeing.
That we have life through his what? Through his
name. We have life through his what? Through
his name. Let's establish something there very
fast so that we can. John 14, 13. John 14, 13.
Everybody. We have life through his name. Glory
to Jesus. John 14, 13. And whatsoever ye shall
ask. So I think it will be good. As we go through
these scriptures, please, anywhere you see in
my name, his name, try and be on the line if
it's your Bible. Right? If you borrowed it, please
don't write there. Yes. Yes. So, 14, 13. And
whatsoever ye shall ask what in my name, that
will I what? Will I do? When we come, more detail
about the name. We will come to these places
and talk about them in detail. Amen? These statements
that Jesus is making. Right? Why was he making
these statements? Glory to Jesus. He said, in
my name, that will I what? Do, and the Father
may be glorified where? In the Son. Verse 26.
Verse 14. Let's go to 14. 14, very fast there.
And if ye shall ask anything in my what? In my
name. I will what? I will do it. So, from now,
any place you see in my name, please, be put
in the office of Jesus. The authority of Jesus.
The function of Jesus. The character of who?
Of Jesus. Amen? So you see, you cannot just come
and say, I claim this Lamborghini in the name
of Jesus. Kabaye. What's that? What did you just
do? You see that house? Oh my father, I claim
it. I claim it. The question is, so you are claiming
it in the character of who? And for what? Because
we are learning now, carefully, if you pay attention,
we are learning all that is happening. In the
name of Jesus, events are happening. One of the
first events that is happening in the name of
Jesus is preaching what? The gospel. Another
event we are seeing that is happening in the
name of Jesus is what? Signs, wonders, and miracles.
Another event that is happening in the name of
Jesus is that through his name, we see people
have eternal life by believing. We are not seeing
people claiming Lamborghini. People claiming
mansions. People claiming things that is not
their own. Glory to Jesus. So, see now. So because
somebody will say, ah, I've never. You know,
you can be teaching, people can be. Somebody
will say, ah, if Jesus asks anything, I've never
seen this thing in my life. He say anything.
Bro, you cannot go and ask for somebody's wife.
Yes, you cannot. Because that's not in the character
of Jesus. That's not in the ability of Jesus.
Jesus does not have the ability to snatch somebody's
wife and give you. The resurrection of Jesus
never provided that kind of supply for you in
the spirit. Never. So now we are coming to this.
Hallelujah. So now, on the line of what? Anything
in my what? In my name, I will what? I will do
it. Glory to Jesus. Verse 26. Verse 26. But when
the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto
you from the Father, Even the Spirit of truth,
which proceeded from the Father, he shall do
what? He shall testify of what? Of me. And ye
shall also bear witness, because ye have been
with me from what? From the beginning. Where
did he write in my name? Where did he write in
my name? But when the Comforter is come, whom
I will send to you from the Father, glory to
Jesus, even the Spirit of truth, which proceeded
from the Father, he shall come to testify of
what? Testify of who? So in whose name will the
comforter be coming? In whose name? Another event
that we are seeing that will happen in the name
of Jesus is that the Holy Spirit will come upon
what? Will come upon everybody. Glory to Jesus.
That's another thing that we are seeing. The
Holy Spirit. He said he shall testify. It's as
a result of my resurrection that the Holy Spirit
will be what? Will be poured. Glory to Jesus.
Glory to Jesus. Good. Verse 15, 26. But the comforter
is still the same, the comforter. The comforter
with the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send
in what? In my name. Come on now, Bible students.
You allow your teacher to be rigmarole. Oh, you
understand? In my name, he shall teach you how
many things? All things and bring all things
to your remembrance whatsoever I have worked.
So the Holy Spirit in whose name will be given?
In the name of Jesus. Acts 15, 16. John 15, 16.
15, 16. Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen
you and ordained you. Ha ha. that ye shall go
and bring forth fruit, that your food shall what?
Remain. That whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father
in my name, he might what? He might give you.
Hallelujah. Glory to God. Our election is in
the name of Jesus. Our adoption is in the name
of who? In the name of Jesus. Glory to God. See
21, everybody. 21, 15, 21. But all these things
will they do? unto you from my what? Namesake,
because they know not him that what? The question
is, what will they happen? Let's go to 20 so
that please don't be afraid of this because that's
it. It's a product of the name. Remember the
word that I said unto you, the servant is not
greater than his Lord. If they have persecuted
me, they will also what? Persecute you. If they
have kept my saying, they will also keep yours
what? Also, can you see that in the name, the
same response they give to Jesus, they give to
the believer. Glory to God. Then now, see the
next verse 21. He said, but all these things
will they do what? What are the things they will
do unto you? They will persecute you. You know,
in Hausa, Zamusha Shegi, in his name, they will
pull the knife and slaughter for the name's sake.
They will put a bullet in your head or in your
chest. For what? So write it. It's another event
in the name. Write it. Yes, as we arrive here
now, everybody pause. Write it. Persecution where?
In the name. Yes. Yes. John 16, 23. John 16,
23. And in that day ye shall ask me nothing.
Very, very little I say unto you. Whatsoever
ye shall ask the Father in my what? In my name,
he will what? He will give it to you. So add
these verses, verse 24 and 26. All he's talking
about in my name, in my name, in my name. John
chapter 16, verse 24, verse 26. Additional verses.
So, so far so good. What are we seeing? The summary
of what we are seeing from John's account. The
gospel should be preached or taught in his name.
Men are to believe in the gospel and receive
life through his what? Through his. name. Glory
to Jesus. Good. So let's go to Acts now. Let's
go to Acts. So we have seen in his name, in his
name, Luke will tell us, repentance will be preached,
Matthew will tell us, Mark will tell us, John
will tell us. Amen? Good. Please write this.
I forgot to say it from John, that we receive
in his name. We receive from the Father in his
what? In his name. So, because question will
now be, is it that when we say, in the name of
Jesus, no, no, no, let me say the way we say
the name, you know. When they finish the prayers,
the last part, in the mighty, wonderful, precious
name of Jesus Christ. Amen. So, it's like, when
they say that now, the thing has downloaded fully.
Yes. You see, with a louder amen. Amen. You know,
the thing now, Allah don't show. I remember either
Pastor Fred or Pastor Victor taught us here,
right? Because that's where we're heading to.
Because what we receive from the Father is not
when we name the name of Jesus. But when we have
an understanding, right, of what Jesus has done,
what? For the provision of Christ for us. That's
how we receive it. Glory to God. So, I may come
into a place, or you may come into a place, right?
and pray a prayer, and never end it with the
name of Jesus. And Allah will show. Please, it's
not money Allah. So what I mean by Allah, that
you will see miracles, signs and wonders will
happen. But somebody will say, I'm talking about
miracle money. That's not what I mean. Did I
say that from my mouth? No. If you wrote it,
delete it. Glory to God. But we receive in His
word. So by now, so far so good, from Sunday
to now, you should know that when you say we
receive in His name, We mean that we are receiving
in his what? In his character. In his ability.
In his office. Glory to God. Because when we
come to consider the name, we want to see what
are the provisions that Jesus has made available
for the believer in his office, in his character.
What are the things? Glory to Jesus. So now,
Acts now. Acts, everybody. Acts 2 .21. Acts 2
.21. And it shall come to pass that whosoever
shall call out. on the name of the Lord shall
be what? Shall be saved. Does this look like
where we are coming from, John? Yes. Believing
and we will have what? Life. We call upon the
name of the Lord who will be what? When we come
to this place also in Romans chapter 10, we are
coming to Ephesians 9, Romans chapter 10, we
see the same rendition there. Right? Now whosoever
shall call upon the name of the Lord is what?
Yes, shall be saved. Glory to Jesus. Verse 38.
Verse 38. Then Peter said unto them, repent and
be baptized every one of you in whose name, in
the name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of
what? Of sins, and ye shall receive the gift
of what? Does this look like what Jesus just
told them in Luke? That repentance and remission
of sins will be preached. You know, when we keep
reading in that Luke 24, he told the 30 year
in Jerusalem, what? For the promise to receive
the Holy Ghost. So we see Peter. Peter did not
change what was taught to them. The believer
in the name of Jesus ought not to change the
message. You have to stay with the message, the
purity of the message, the accuracy of the message.
You see, Peter said the same words. In fact,
we often say it in catatismus, that whatsoever
you see your neighbor is doing, copy it. Hallelujah.
Copy what? Copy it. Immediately you see your
neighbor is praying in the Holy Ghost. Don't
stay there and be, what is happening? What is
happening? No, now, no. When will I? Oh, you
stay somewhere at the back. He say, when will
my time come? When will my time? Or they say,
can we just pray? People are receiving the baptism
of the Holy Ghost. And they probably are still
using the old software. You know, from Casablanca,
where you came? You know, and then you're using
that old software. And then you are like, they
taught you that they say, let me use the word
that probably they told. They say Kronos time,
you know, or they say Kairos time. And when that
time comes, certain things will happen in the
atmosphere. And then your tongues will come.
And then you now come to a place, gathering of
believers, where we don't have Kronos or Kairos.
We're already in everything. And then you are
waiting for that, you know, probably maybe you
see, just change gear. You say, I think the time
is coming. And after that, no time again. No,
when you see believers are gathered, whatever
provision you see in that atmosphere, you are
part of it. So don't wait and say, when will
I? Somebody just said now. So what if now I now
start saying, am I not pretending? Brother, you're
not pretending. Whatever, do it. When you finish,
we will interpret it for you. And from that atmosphere,
you will grow. Next meeting, come again. Whatever.
We will interpret another thing for you by the
Spirit. By the time you do three, four, five
meetings with us, you're the one that will start
interpreting the other people's own. Glory to
Jesus. Peter did not change the message. The
same thing Jesus told them, that repentance and
remission of sins will be what? Will be preached.
Seeing the same thing, he finished saying verse
what? Verse 30 what? Verse 38. Then Peter said
unto them, repent and what? Repentance and remission
of sins will be preached. Is that the same word
he's saying? He said, and be baptized in the
name of Jesus Christ for the remission of what?
Repentance, remission of sins. Forgiveness of
sins. And ye shall receive what? The gift of
the Holy Ghost. Glory to Jesus. In the name of
Jesus. Acts 3 .6. Acts 3 .6. Everybody see. Then
Peter said, silver and gold have I none. What
should happen to the man? What do you have? What
was he saying I have? I have authority. Hallelujah.
What was he saying I have? I come in the office
of Jesus. What was he saying I have? He said
I come. Do you remember that we read in John?
He said that you shall ask from the Father in
my name. And the Father will what? Will do it
in my function, in my ability, in my office.
He said in my name. You shall lay hands on the
sick. And the sick will do what? Will rise. And
Peter will have that understanding. I say silver
and gold. I do know what? What I have. Oh boy.
Yes. What I have, I give what? I give unto thee.
Rise up on what? I walk in my name. Glory to
Jesus. Verse 16, 316. 316. And his name. Now
he was still speaking about the man that was
raised. Right? He say, and his name, through
faith in his name. had made this man, you know
why I just giggle now and just laugh? Let me
tell you what happened in my heart. You know,
that this man was born what? Was born lame. And
he was kept at that gate, and that has been his
surviving center. And one of the things why I
smiled, he said that if you have understanding
of my name, there is no situation, whether it's
from childbirth, whether it's from womb. Whether
he say he's genetic, whether he say he's phenotypic,
whether he say he's genotypic, whether he say
he's hemophilia, whether he say, whatsoever it
is, from my office, that the name of Jesus, the
character of Jesus, the office of Jesus can change
everything. You see, this thing I just said,
bless me. It blessed me, me, custom, it blessed
me. And see what he will tell them now in verse
16. And his name through faith in his what? In
his name has made this man what? Strong, whom
ye see and what? Know. The faith which is by
him had given him what? This perfect soundness
in the presence of how many of them all. Do you
remember on Sunday, I said that, you know, you
will see, you will do what? you will hear. When
we see a demonstration of the things, of the
events, right? From the name of Jesus, there
is a seeing, there is a what? There is a hearing.
Glory to Jesus. Are we all there? So, let's add
this to us. Acts chapter 4 verse 7. Acts chapter
5 verse 28. I will encourage us, go and read
these places from Acts. I have faith. I believe
it. The spirit of revelation is working in our
hearts all year. Glory to Jesus. You will see.
The eyes of your understanding is open. You will
see it. You will see it. Even before we come
to the proper teaching on the name, you will
see it. Your place in Christ Jesus. Yes, you
will see it. Acts 5 .28. Are we reading it? Acts
8 .12. Acts 8 .12. Acts 8 verse 12. Acts 9 verse
14. Acts 9 verse 14. Acts 10 verse 43. In fact,
in the book of Acts, so many places later, so

26. Acts 16 verse 18. Acts 19 verse 5. Acts 21
verse 13. Acts 22 verse 16. Acts 22 verse 16.
Acts 26 verse 9. Acts 26 verse 9. So when you
read all these scriptures in summary, what you're
going to be seeing, you're going to be seeing
the gospel preached and taught in his name by
the apostles. Amen. Number one, you will see
men believing in the gospel through his name.
Number two, you're going to see people speaking
with new tongues. Amen. You're going to see demons,
devils are casted out in his name. You're going
to see the sick healed in his name. You're going
to see the dead raised in his what? In his name.
And you're going to see the apostles suffering
in his name. Should I repeat myself? When you
read the book of Acts, all through the accounts
of Acts, you're going to see the gospel preached
in his name. You're going to see men believing
in his name. Amen? You're going to see people,
what I mean believing is that people are having
life through his name now. Right? You're going
to see people speaking in new tongues in his
name. You're going to see devils casted out.
In his name, amen. You're going to see the sick
healed in his name. You're going to see the dead
raised in his name. And you're going to see the
apostles suffering in his name. Glory to Jesus.
Glory to Jesus. Then now, let's do this marathon
in these two, three minutes. In the epistles,
very fast. In the epistles, Romans chapter 1,
verse 5. So, may just read Romans chapter 1,
verse what? Verse 5. Let's see what Paul will
say. By whom we have received what? Grace and
apostleship for obedience to the faith among

underline it. Glory to Jesus. Romans 10, 13.

call upon the name of the Lord shall be what?
It looks like where Peter was also saying the
same thing. Yes, Romans 10, 13. Shall be saved.
1 Corinthians 1, verse 2. 1 Corinthians 1, verse
2. Unto the church of God which is at Corinth,
to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus,
called to be saints, with all that are in every
place, that call upon the name of what? Jesus

on the line there, name of Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians
5 verse 4. 1 Corinthians 5 verse 4. In the name
of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered,
what? Together. Pastor Fer has told us, right?
He has taught us extensively from Matthew, right?
Yes, and we understand, in this church now, we
understand where the church came from. Because
we said Ecclesia is the product of what? Of his
resurrection. Glory to God. So when believers
are gathered, when Ecclesia is gathered, it's
in whose name? In his name. So he said, in the
name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered
together and my spirit with the power of our

word, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Right?
When we gather. Glory to Jesus. 1 Corinthians
6 verse 11. And such. We are some of you. But
ye are washed. Glory to Jesus. Say, I am washed.

our Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our
God. Hallelujah. Glory to God. That's our reality.
That happened in the name. Glory to Jesus. That's
my ministry partner there. Yes. Glory to Jesus.
Then let's add this. Ephesians 5 .20. These are
extra scriptures. Ephesians 5 .20. Ephesians

where does the father? In the name of the Father
and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost, come. So
when we come to now talk in detail, the name
of Jesus, you know, I've already underlined it
in my notes. That's the first thing we will start
there. Praise God. And then we will build from
there. And I believe the Lord is helping us.
