right in. We continue from where we stopped yesterday.
As we are seated, can we just declare healing

or symptom and the lack of breathing. Can we
just declare healing? As we are seated, everybody,

Right now, we declare healing. We declare healing

We thank you for the testimony from the lungs

We thank you. And much more. Be thou glorified.
Be thou exalted. In Jesus' name we pray. There's
somebody, probably you're connected to, if you're
online or you're here, or you know somebody that
is connected here. Or you're connected to the
person. Right? But I see or I hear or I perceive
in my heart somebody with the name Stephanie.
Right? Probably you know somebody with the name
Stephanie. Or you're here or you're online, you're
listening. One of the things that Jesus is doing
in your life this morning is that he's healing
you of traumas. You know, I got into this hall,
I still had it clearly. Jesus is healing that
person. He's healing Stephanie. Stephanie, whether
you're online, you're hearing, or you know somebody
connected to that name, right? Reach out to the
person. The Holy Ghost is healing the person
of trauma. Trauma. In fact, I see childhood trauma.
You have held so much to it. But it's time to
let it go. Hallelujah. It's time to let it go.
Hallelujah. Because the Holy Ghost has stepped
in. Glory to Jesus. Hallelujah. Yes, we are going
to hear that before the day runs out. Glory to
Jesus. Are we all here? Has anyone received a
word here? Sorry. Any word, any word, any word?
This is Karatismos. That's how we're going to
be doing it. okay yes let's hear your word there
will be free flow of the supernatural way in
this meeting can we rejoice glory hallelujah
yes another word again by the spirit by the spirit
yes sir To do more. Hallelujah. You have been
desirous. You've been feeling that there is more.
God is calling you into more, more, more. Hallelujah.
Yes, so what God is doing in this season is that
he's bringing strength to you to step out. He's
bringing strength to you to take action. Hallelujah.
Can we rejoice? Glory! Hallelujah. Yes, word
again. Before we start. Yes, sir. If not, when
we start, everybody will give a word. Hallelujah.
I think when we trust the end of the prayer,
one thing that... It came to my spirit is, you
know, the yearnings and the desires in the hearts
of majority of people in this room. And the majority
of us also, we are yearning to see the tangible
expressions of the gifts and the way by which
we will remain committed or we will remain active.
The Spirit will find expression through us is
when we spend quality time with God. And one
thing that I saw clearly is the fact that when
we tarry with the Lord as we are charged up,
as we tarry with the Lord, we receive directly
from the mind of God. And when we receive from
the mind of God, we are able to be a blessing
to people. We have all the abilities in us. We
have all the capacity in us. To be a blessing
in the demonstration of the spirit. In diverse
ways. In words of knowledge. In words of wisdom.
In prophecy. In healing. In even knowing things
concerning people. But what God is bringing us
into. Is to bring us into our identity. That
we will see all that he has worked in us. And
the way by which this will be expressed massively.
Is by we spending time with him. Even in our
secret place. That we will have this. ability
to know how he works he will show us his ways
and his path and we will be of a blessing to
many people so the reason why oftentimes we don't
see ourselves express much more of god is that
we don't spend time with him so what god is doing
in this season he's saying that he's bringing
us into a place that we know all that we have
all that he has done in us and not only that
we know but we know how to operate in it and
the simplest way by which we can walk fully in
the expression of all that is in us is when we
depend on him we're spending time with him in
a secret place and we're not just spending time
with him just to receive uh just to to present
our request we are spending time to just hear
him as he leads us that is how we will see effectiveness
in our ministry when we spend time with him spending
time with God, knowing his ways, even the specific
meetings. As we go out, before we go out, we
spend time with God. God will show us the things
to do. He will show us what to do. He will show
us who to do, who to go to, and what specific
things we will meet on the path. Our hearts will
be illuminated with the insight of the things
that we will come across. And we rejoice. Glory.
Hallelujah. John chapter 3. John chapter 3 verse
14. Let's just a little bit retrace backwards
and then get it from there. I remember I told
us to write belly, right? Yes. So John chapter
3. Let's go back to that John chapter 3. You
know, there has been a conversation between Nicodemus
and then Jesus, right? About the water and the
spirit that has to do with being born again and
then entering into the kingdom. Hallelujah. Yes.
And then now, we now see what Jesus will tell
him in verse 12. He said, if I have told you
earthly things and ye believe not, how shall
ye believe if I tell you of what? Of heavenly
things. Hallelujah. And he said, and no man had
ascended up to heaven, but he that came down
from heaven, even the Son of Man, who is in what?
In heaven. 14 now. He said, and as Moses lifted
up serpent in the wilderness, even so must the
Son of Man be what? Be lifted up. Glory to Jesus.
That whosoever believeth in him shall not perish,
but have what? So, when will we believe, right?
To have eternal life from the lifting up of Jesus.
Amen? He said the Son of Man will be lifted up.
Then whosoever believeth in him will not perish,
but have what? Eternal life. Then now he now
says, for God so loved the world that he gave
his only begotten Son, right? That begotten Son
now is lifted up. Glory to Jesus. And then now,
whosoever believeth in him shall not, what? Perish,
but have, what? Everlasting life. Are we all
here? Yes. Good. So, and then we now said that
being lifted up is not as he just, just we see
just Jesus would just be standing and then some
form of wind will just elevate him up and then
he's in the air and everybody that just look
at him and suddenly, literally as what Moses
did. Amen. But we see now, Jesus will refer back
to Numbers, what happened, right? Regarding what
Moses did to the children of Israel, right? When
the serpent will now strike them. They look up
at the serpent and then they are healed. Amen.
So now, why would Jesus say that John chapter
12, now let's look at John chapter 12 verse 32
to see what he meant by saying, if the son of
man be lifted up as Moses lifted up serpent in
the wilderness. See John chapter 12 verse 32.
He said, and if, and I, if I be lifted up from
the earth, I will draw all men, what? Unto me,
33. This he said, signifying what dead he shall
what? What dead he shall what? So, what was Jesus
saying? If he said, if I be lifted up, he was
talking about his what? He's talking about his
death. Amen? So, from his death. From his resurrection,
whosoever believeth, right, will not perish but
have what? Everlasting life. So we understand
what it means when Jesus is saying that if I
be what? Lift her up. He is signifying his what?
His death. Glory to Jesus. Glory to Jesus. Yeah,
so where was he caught in from? Right? Numbers
chapter 21 verse 9. Everybody, let's go there.
Numbers chapter 21 verse 9. Numbers 21 verse
9. And Moses made a serpent of brass and put
it upon a what? A pole. And it came to pass that
if a serpent had beaten any man, when he beheld
the serpent of brass, he what? He leave it. Glory
to Jesus. Yes, so Jesus was speaking from this
typology of events. that happened with the children
of israelites he said the same thing that we
see that has happened there is the same experience
or the same event that is going to happen with
me and people will what will leave but you see
this kind of living is not the living that the
children of israelite had because they lived
and died but he said from this similar event
that will happen Right? So what he's saying is
that Jesus will use this earthly event to communicate
about an heavenly, what? Reality that is going
to happen. Because now, his point of speaking
is about eternal life. Glory to Jesus. Yeah,
so that if I be lifted up, signifying my death,
burial and resurrection, from there now, people
will have not life, but they will have everlasting,
what? Everlasting life. Glory to Jesus. Good.
So, now, we know what being lifted up is. Are
we all here? So, now, from that place now, we
now... We connect back again to where we've been
reading about water, right? We said that he will
use the term water to signify or speak about
newness, freshness. Glory to Jesus. John 7, 37
to 39. Let's go back to John 7. I hope we remember
where we came from. We came from Ezekiel, right?
We came from Ezekiel. And then we are talking
about the spirit indwelling the believer. Amen.
And then the prophecy that Ezekiel gave about
what God is going to do to the house of Israel
is that he will do what? He first told them that,
you know, among the hidden, they profaned his
name. But what he's going to do is that he will
what? He will remove them from the hidden. He's
removing, let me put it this way. He's removing
them from unbelief. That's what salvation does.
So salvation removes you from what? From unbelief.
So he's removing them from unbelief. He will
cleanse them. He will wash them. He will give
them a new heart and he will put his spirit in
them. And then we now see also that what Jesus
will say in John chapter 4 about the living water
he is giving. is that I will give you a living
water. And he said that living water will be
in whosoever that comes to me to drink it. And
from within him, right, there will be a springing
up of well. And then out of, we see, that well,
he said it will spring up what? Into what? Everlasting
life. Are we all here? Yeah, so we did that.
Yesterday, somebody said, why are we taking this
time? We are taking this time because we are
building conviction. Conviction upon what? Conviction.
You have this reality, let me put it this way,
at the tip of your finger. I think either Pastor
Victor or Pastor Ima, I think Pastor Victor,
he said it's not about quoting, quoting, quoting,
quoting, quoting, quoting, quoting, quoting.
So after you quote, Then what next? The scriptures
must become conviction for the believer, not
information for the believer. Do you hear what
I just said? The scriptures must become what?
Convictions for the believer. Because you see,
this letter, what powers this letter is the spirit
of God. I think Pastor Victor taught us from
John chapter, is it six, right? Yes, John chapter
six. Right? We read that place all through to
63. The Spirit giveth what? Life. So what gives
life that we are discussing? Greater works. Yesterday
I started out by saying that greater works are
the works of the Holy Ghost in the what? In the
believer. Or another way you put it, the continuation
of Jesus' work on the earth in and through the
believer by the Holy Ghost. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
Yes, so he's powered by the Spirit of God. So
John chapter 7 now. John chapter 7. John chapter
7. John chapter 7 verse 37. In the last day,
that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and
cried saying, if any man thirsts, let him come
unto me and what? And drink. We see water again
and drinking. He that believeth on me as the
scripture hath what? Said. Had the scripture
hath said, Out of his belly shall flow what?
Rivers of living water. But this spake he of
the Spirit, which they that believe on him shall
what? Receive. So he was talking about water.
But now we see that now in the next communication,
he's saying that what? That speaking of water
he's talking about, he's speaking about what?
The Spirit. glory to jesus for the holy ghost
was not yet given because that jesus was not
yet yet what glorified we can if it's your bible
you can say because jesus was not yet lifted
up it's the same thing amen well we just read
now in john chapter 12 that he was signifying
his what his death if i be lifted up i will draw
all men what unto me so the spirit had not yet
been what given because jesus was not yet what
lifted up and when we say being lifted up we
mean what his dead burial and what a resurrection
okay good perfect so now and then we now from
that place now that we read we now said um we
wrote a word belly right yeah so the word belly
is from the word koilia it's not koila that word
is from the greek word koilia koilia so it's
not the english term that we use koilia k -o
-i -l -i -a which implies to mean the womb the
womb or the innermost being the womb or the innermost
being where something begins or something is
born. Glory to Jesus. It refers to or it implies
to what? The womb where something begins. Innermost
being where something begins or what? Or something
is born. It's the same thing that we see where
we read in John chapter 3. Let's go there very
fast. In John chapter 3 verse 4, he said, Nicodemus
said unto him, How can a man be born when he
is old? Can he enter the second time into his
mother's coilia and be born? Can he enter into
his mother's womb, right? Into his mother's belly
and be what? And be born? So from there now,
we say out of his belly shall flow. The word
flow means Rio. So out of his belly, out of his
womb, out of his innermost being, right? Shall
flow. So the word flow is Rio. R -H -E -O. R
-H -E -O. Rio. Which implies giving up, giving
of something. Pouring something out. Giving something
out, pouring something out, out of his koilia,
right? Shalrio, giving something, pouring something
out. So what Jesus was speaking, he was not referring
to something literal, just like the river, right?
I stay around the river side, right? We have
the river Benue move around our axis. He was
not talking about literal river. He was not talking
about out of his belly, out of Custon's belly
shall flow rivers. Come on now. So imagine now
you see me as I'm standing here. Water is flowing
out of me. So Jesus will have not been speaking
something literal. Glory to Jesus. He will not
be speaking something literal. So, but hence,
what Jesus was communicating about rivers will
flow, he's communicating about there is something,
there is an abundance. There's an abundance of
a reality that will flow out of his what? Out
of his belly. So that word rivers, what Jesus
was talking about is there will be a gushing.
Right? That rivers, they say there will be a
what? a gushing so if you check you see talking
about there will be a gushing an abundance of
rio but you see careful now that place he said
out of his belly shall flow rivers not what not
river glory to jesus so which means that That
gushing, that abundance flow, that pouring out
that will be coming out of his belly, right,
will be more than what? One place. So when it
flows, it will be beyond one place. It will be
happening in many places. Is that clear? It will
be happening in many places. So a big question
will be, whose belly? Whose belly? will the rivers
be what be flowing from whose belly out of his
belly shall flow out of my belly shall flow rivers
rivers of living water so is the scripture saying
that it's out of your belly because that scripture
says that out of his what belly did he say that
you are the one did he put your name there did
he say out of the believer out of the believer's
belly so whose belly they like changing so many
songs they'll be changing changing changing changing
changing we have to change it so that it will
align With our realities in Christ Jesus. Glory
to Jesus. So, verse 38 now says, let's go to
38. He that believeth on me, as the scripture
has said, out of his belly shall what? Flow rivers
of what? Living water. Right? But this spake
he of the Spirit, which they that believe on
him shall receive, for the Holy Ghost was not
yet given. Because that Jesus was not yet what?
Glorified. So he was speaking about what? The
Spirit. The Spirit will be flowing. Is it from
you? Because we are talking about the Spirit,
right? So the Spirit will be. So where will the
source of the Spirit be from? That's what the
scripture is saying. Out of his belly shall flow
rivers of living water. And we say he is speaking
about the Spirit. So the spirit is going to flow
from whose belly? Amen. Glory to Jesus. And he
says that because Jesus was not yet what? Glorified.
So what that scripture is now saying is that
because Jesus is not yet glorified, yet we are
not yet seeing the giving of the spirit. Is that
clear? Are we all here? Good. So now, what we
now see again about out of his belly or the belly,
the word womb, right? What Jesus is speaking
clearly from this scripture, he's talking about
is upon my glorification. Because he said now
that, as the scripture says, out of his belly
shall flow rivers of living water. This he spoke
of he, right? But this spoke he of what? of the
spirit. He is not speaking about custom. He is
not speaking about color. He is not speaking
about sweetness. He is not, you know, he is speaking,
he is speaking of what? He, the spirit. That
day, that belief on him should what? Receive,
for the Holy Ghost was not yet what? Giving.
So the Holy Ghost will be giving upon the reality
of an event. And that event is that Jesus needs
to be glorified. Are you all with me on that
verse? He said, because Jesus was not yet glorified,
so the Spirit has not been yet what? Given. But
when Jesus is glorified, the Spirit will be what?
Will be given. And they that believe on Jesus
will now receive the Spirit. So what we are saying
is that Jesus' glorification guarantees the pouring
out of the Spirit. That they that believe on
Him will now receive the Spirit. So when he says,
out of his belly shall flow, he's talking about
the belly that will pour out the rivers of living
water will be upon Jesus' glorification. His
resurrection. So his death, his burial, and his
what? His resurrection. He says, how did we know?
Just simply, 738 says, he that believeth on me
as the scripture has what? Had said. So that
phrase, as the scripture had said, Pastor Victor
emphasized this during his session. He said the
whole of the scripture has one essence. One message.
One. From Genesis to Revelation, one message.
One essence. What's the message? Christ Jesus.
And we have learned so much in this church to
know that when we say, as the scripture, when
Jesus said, as the scripture had said, what do
you think he's referring to? Huh? Huh? What did
he say? Genesis to what? To Malachi. I'll say
something, but I'll not say it. You see, often
when you see Jesus, when he says something, often
you will now see that he said this thing that
it may be fulfilled by what prophet Isaiah had
said. Often you see the scripture in the gospels,
right? He said, this happened that it may be
fulfilled, right? Of what prophet Isaiah had
said. But now we see that we're not seeing that
the prophet Isaiah had said. We're not seeing
Ezekiel has said. But we are seeing Jesus saying,
as the scripture had what? Had said, out of his
belly shall flow what? Rivers of living water.
And we say the scripture has one message. Don't
ever in this church hold this reality. The whole
of the scripture has one essence, one message.
Christ Jesus is dead, burial and what? Resurrection.
Amen. John chapter 1 verse 45. John chapter 1
verse 45. John chapter 1 verse 45. Philip found
Nathaniel and said unto him, We have found him
of whom Moses in the law and the prophets did
write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of who? The
son of Joseph. And Nathanael said unto him, Can
there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip
said unto him, Come and what? And see. We have
found him. We have found him of whom Moses in
the law and the prophets have what? Did write
or did speak about. So we say that the whole
of the scripture has one essence. Christ Jesus.
And we see them saying, we have found him of
whom Moses and all the prophets have what? Spoken
about. So the question will be, what is it that
Moses and all the prophets have spoken about?
The scripture? Christ Jesus. Is that clear enough?
Is it clear enough? John 5, 39. John 5, 39. John
5, 39. Search the scriptures. For in them ye
think ye have eternal life, and they are they
which testify of what? So the scriptures testify
of who? They testify of Jesus. We have found
him whom Moses and the Lord speak about. And
now we are reading John chapter 5 verse 39. He's
saying that for the scriptures testify of who?
Testify one essence, one message about Christ
Jesus. So what are we saying in essence? We are
saying that now, right? That the scriptures testify
about what? About Christ. So let me ask us now
with what we have done. Go to John chapter 7
everybody. So that we close here. I will not
tell us. We are the ones that will say it. So
John chapter 7 verse 38. He that believeth on
me as the scripture hath said. Out of his belly
shall flow rivers of living water. So the scripture
is talking about who? Whose belly now? From who
will the Spirit be? From where? Christ Jesus.
He's not speaking about you. Amen? What we are
singing is that we are not saying that out of
our belly shall flow. What we are saying is that
it's a reality of the things of the Spirit will
flow from our inside. We don't have anything
against it. But you see, as far as this scripture
is concerned, you're not the one he's talking
about. He's talking about Christ Jesus. Hallelujah.
Because what Christ said, as the scripture had
what? Had said. And then the next verse starting,
I say, but this speak he. So he's speaking of
who? Of Christ Jesus. Because from Christ Jesus,
the spirit will be giving amen so the communication
here is about christ is about christ jesus and
the giving of the spirit and this giving of the
spirit will happen upon what glorification are
we done here are we done here glory to jesus
so we see christ will consistently talk about
the giving of the spirit the giving of the spirit
wait let me let me all that we have done so far
is it clear Is there any confusion? Is it clear?
You're sure? Is it clear? William, is it clear?
Is it clear? Okay. So you can explain it. You
can explain it. You're sure? You can explain
it. Don't do like this. Nancy, you can explain
this. Okay. At least if there are two, three
people. that can explain it in my class not here
all of us can explain it but in my class i mean
in class in the university you know pastor victor
said there are some students that they will never
understand they choose not to understand what
you're teaching never so at least if you are
marking the exam i just see one 195 you are glad
we are done for the semester You can ask my co
-laborer, you know, in marking scripts. Sometimes
when they see some things, they are just frustrated.
Like, serious? What is it? I can't even read
it. I always say, two people make your life easy
when you're marking scripts. The dull ones and
the excellent ones. You know the dull ones, you
just go... That's all. What do you do? That's
all. You are done. Yes. Excellent ones. You mark
it. You are smiling. You are smiling. Everything
makes sense. I always threaten them. To whom
much is given, much is expected. If you are an
excellent student in my class, I will treat you
in a hard way. I will ensure I read line by line.
Oh, Jam, why are you doing this? Yes, yes, yes.
I expect more from you. He says, do you not mean
that you should not know us? I say, yes, maybe.
Glory to Jesus. Yes, so now, all that we see,
the emphasis from Ezekiel to now is about the
giving of what? Of the Spirit. And that Spirit
will be received by those who believe on what?
On Christ Jesus. Amen. So now, John chapter 14,
verse 16 to 17. So we see lots of scriptures
where Jesus will give credence, right, to the
promise of the Holy Ghost. that will be in the
believer john chapter 14 verse 16 to 17 see what
the scripture says and i will pray the father
and he shall give you another comforter that
he may abide with you how forever even the spirit
of truth whom the world cannot receive because
it seared him not neither knoweth him but ye
know him for he dwelleth where and where will
the spirit be and shall be where in you in you
15 26 15, 26. But when the Comforter is come,
whom I will send unto you from the Father, even
the Spirit of Christ that is in you, which proceeded
from the Father, he shall testify of what? Of
me. John 16, 7 -15. John 16, 7 -15. Nevertheless,
I tell you the truth, it is expedient for you
that I go away. For if I go not away, the Comforter
will not come unto you. But if I depart, I will
send him where? Unto you. And when he is come,
he will reprove the world of sin and of righteousness
and of judgment, of sin because they believe
not on me, of righteousness because I go to my
father and ye see me no more, of judgment because
of the prince of this world is judged. And I
have yet many things to say unto you, but ye
cannot bear them. Howbeit when he, the spirit
of truth, right, is come, he will guide you into
all truth. For he shall not speak of himself,
but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak,
and he will show you things to come. He shall
glorify me, for he shall receive of mine and
shall show it unto you. All things that the Father
hath had are mine. Therefore said I, that he
shall take of mine and shall show it to who?
Show it unto you. Hallelujah. John 14, 1, 2.
John 14, 1, 2. He that hath seen me hath seen
the what? The Father. And how said thou then,
show us the Father? Believest not thou that I
am in the Father? Right? And the Father in me?
The words that I speak unto you, I speak not
of myself, but the Father that dwelleth in me,
he doeth what? The works. Believe me that I am
in the Father, and the Father in me. Or else,
believe me for what? For the very works sake.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that believeth,
what? On me, the works that I do, shall he do
what? Also. Let's connect something very fast
so that we can make this fast. Verse 10. Believest
not thou that I am where? In the Father, and
the Father where? In me. The works that I speak
unto you, I speak not what? But the Father that
dwelleth in me, he dwelleth what? The works.
Then go to 12 now. The Father in me doeth the
what? The works. The words that I speak, the
Father speaks. The works that I do, the Father
does the works. Right? Now, 12. See, very. Verily,
verily, I say unto you, he that believeth on
me, the works that I do, shall he what? Do also.
So, what's Jesus saying there? Connect verse
10 to 12 now. Connect 10 and 12. What's he saying
there? I am in the Father, the Father in me,
the words that I speak, he speaks through me,
the works that I do, he does the work through
me. And then verse 12 says, if you believe on
me, the works that I do, shall you do also. What's
that place saying now? 10 and 12. Yes, my helpers,
helpers. Okay, the Father unites with, I mean,
in the aspect of works now. The Father will be
there. The Father is the one working in what?
In the believer. I am in the Father. The Father
in me. The words that I speak. The Father speaks.
The works that I do. The Father does the work.
But now he's not saying that. If you believe
in me. What Jesus said now. If you believe in
the Father also. So the Father will be in you.
You will be in the Father. The works that you
have seen, I have done, which the Father doeth
the work, so also you will, what? Do the work.
So what Jesus is saying in essence there, is
that the Father is the one that will be working
through you. Glory to Jesus. But he didn't only
stop there. He said, and greater works than these,
shall he, what? Shall he do, because I go on
to what? My father. So the father is in the man
that believes doing the work and also greater
works. That's why I say greater works are the
continuation of Jesus' work in and through the
believer by the Holy Ghost. Do you hear what
I just said? That greater works are the continuation
of what? Jesus' work in and through the believer
by The Holy Ghost. Are we getting where we are
going? Are we getting it? Glory to Jesus. Because
all that we've read, now you now see that, he
said, believe also in me, right? Or believe in
me, or believes me. Or, yea, believe in God,
also believe in me. Believe it on me or believe
me. You see, all these words used. Right? For
the man that will be in Christ Jesus. John 14,
12 now. Again, where we are. It's just the way
we are. It's a very, very, I say unto you, he
that believeth on me, the works that I do, shall
he do also. And greater works than these shall
he do. Because I what? I go to the Father. Big
question will now be, what work? What work? What
work? We're going to run over this now because
we've learned a lot extensively on it. Amen?
So we're not going to dwell so much on it. John
10, 38. John 10, 38. John 10, 38. But if I do,
let's read from verse 37. If I do not the works
of my father, believe me what? Believe me not.
But if I do the works of my father, do ye believe
not on me? Believe the works that ye may know
and believe that the father is in me and I what?
And I in him. So the works that I do testify
that the father is in me. And I am where? I am
in the Father. I just said something now. The
works that the believer does should testify that
the Father is in the believer and the believer
is in the Father. How? By the Holy Ghost. Glory
to Jesus. And that's why we're asking, what works?
John 9, verse 1. Because the communication started
from there. And Jesus passed by, he saw a man
who was blind from his birth. Right? And his
disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did
sin? This man or his parents, that he was born
what? That he was born blind. We have learned
here. So often when they see some of this kind
of manifestation, they believe that it's a product
of sin. Right? In verse 3, Jesus answered, Neither
had this man sinned, nor his parents, but that
the works of God should be made manifest where?
In him. We are coming from somewhere. The works
that I do testify that I am in the Father, and
the Father is what? Is in me. He said, believe
me on these works. And if you believe me, the
works that I do, you will also what? You will
also do. And greater works than this, you will
also do. And then now, in verse 3, Jesus is saying
that, neither had this man seen nor his parents,
but that the works of God should be made manifest
in who? In him. Verse 4 now, everybody, pay attention.
He finished speaking about the works of God should
be made manifest what? In him. Now see verse
4 now. He said, I must work the works of him
that what? That send me while it is day, the
night cometh when no man can what? Can work.
We started out by saying, what work was Jesus
referring to? In verse 3, One of the first works
that we see that is happening in John 9, 3, we
see the work of healing. Hallelujah. We see the
work of what? Of healing. You will never see
in this scripture, in this whole scripture, right?
God making provision about sickness. Never. What
do you see? God is making provision for what?
For healing. You will never see any promise made
by God about sickness. But you will see promises
made by God about what? About healing. In fact,
let's just cast your mind back to Ezekiel. You
disdained me. You profaned my name. You lived
in filthiness. You worshipped idols. You left
me. But yet, I have turned back again to say,
I, I, your God, will remove you. I told you to
be saying, I will punish you. I will ensure enemies
kill all of you. No. So what works are we seeing
in verse 3? We are seeing the works of what?
The works of healing. Neither had this man seen
nor his parents, but that the works of God should
be made manifest where? In him. So we see the
works of healing. Being made manifest. John 14,
12. Where we just came from. The works of him
that send me. John 14, 12. So upon my going unto
the Father, all these events will be a reality
to the man that believes on me. Hallelujah. The
works that I do, you will also do. Because I
go unto what? My Father. So the understanding
that I've gone to my Father, right? will give
you that authority to do the works that I what?
That I do. And even greater. Glory to Jesus.
I'm trying to see how I can run this because
we have already done it here. John 14 2 now.
Do I need to do this or let's do the revision?
I think it's revision. Yes, because we know this
now. John 14 2. In my father's house are many
mansions. Yes, house, house, house, house, house,
house. His revision. House. Should we close for
the day? We need coffee break. Okay. Yes. In
my father's house. Yes. What's house? Oikea.
Okay. Oikea means what? Huh? Household. Okay.
How many mansions? Mansions? Monet. Monet means
what? Dwelling place. Okay, so you have helped
me cover now a chunk of my work. Amen? So which
means that now we just need to establish that
from the scripture. 14 .2 now says that in my
father's house are many mansions. If it were
not so, I would have not told you. I go to prepare
a place for what? For you. Amen? I go to prepare
a place for you in verse 3. And if I go and prepare
a place for you, I will come again and receive
you unto myself, that where I am, there ye may
be also. This communication, hold it carefully.
Because Jesus has already said something. He
said, you are in me. Oh, I am in the Father.
The Father is in me. The words that I speak,
he speak at them. The works that I do, he is
the one that is doing the work. Amen. And then
now he's not saying, if you believe also on me,
these works that I do. Amen? He said, the same
work that I've done or I'm doing, you will also,
what? Do the works and greater works. So now
he's not saying that, right? 3, John 14, 3. He
said, and receive you unto myself, that where
I am, there ye may be, what? Also, so you see
that what Jesus will say. The works that I'm
doing, you will also do because you and Jesus
are in the same place. Hallelujah. Yeah, so why
you will do the works? Because you and Jesus,
what? You are in the same place. This is important.
Then now, we have already mentioned what oikia
is. Oikia means house, right? John 4, 53. John
4, 53. John 4, 53. Conviction upon conviction.
Jesus said unto them, John 4, 53. So the father
knew that it was at the same hour in which Jesus
said unto him, thy son liveth, and he himself,
and he himself believed, and his what? And his
what? And his whole house. So do you think it's
the whole building that believed? When he says,
and his whole house believe. Is he talking about
the roof, the windows, the doors, the rats, the
chickens, the lizards? When he says his whole
house believe, what does he mean? His family.
So we see household speaking about people. Amen?
Same word, oikia, household. Talking about what?
Talking about people. So in that place, the question
is not about what? A place, but about what? People.
Mark 3, 24. Mark 3, 24. Please, we have been
taught so much about context, right? So stay
with it. Mark 3, 24. And if a kingdom be divided
against itself, the kingdom cannot stand. 25.
And if a house be divided against itself, that
house cannot stand. Do you think he's talking
about a house breaking itself? What's he talking
about there? Huh? He's talking about a place
of people. He's talking about people. Hallelujah.
So because literally a house cannot divide against
what? Itself. So we now see a household again.
So if his household is divided against itself,
it cannot what? It cannot stand. The same word.
Mark 6 .4. Mark 6 .4. But Jesus said unto them.
A prophet is not without honor. But in his own
country. And among his own king. And in his own
house. What do you think that scripture will
be talking about? Same thing. And among his own
household. His own people. So we can now safely
say that when we say oikia, speaking about house,
we are talking about what? Household, people.
Amen? Glory to Jesus. He now says, in my father's
house, there are many what? There are many mansions.
Don't forget, we are talking about oikia. He's
talking about household, people. In my father's
family. In my father's people. In my father's
family. In my father's what? People. Don't forget,
there's a reason for that. Now, there are many
what? Mansions. If it were not so, I would have
not told you I go to prepare what? A place for
you. So, when Jesus says, in my Father's house,
let's say for instance now, right? We are speaking
with you and then you tell me, in my Father's
house, We have a helipad. You know, two of the
choppers my father has. One is for me and one
always, you know. We have a garage with fleets
of cars. However, every of those descriptions
are in my father's house. So what does that tell
you? When you say in my father's house, it tells
you of what? Please, when we do Bible studies
like this, don't take your mind and be thinking
of something supernatural, something big is happening.
You know, please bring your mind here. When we
say in my father's house, bring your mind. You
belong to the house. Thank you. I dropped all
my currencies in my back there. Amen. Yes. It
talks about relationship. You see, Jesus will
say that the father is in me and I am in him.
I'm not saying that in my father. It tells you
that I have a relationship with who? With my
father. This is a relationship. So it's not just
a family, right? That everybody is on his own.
Because we just read that if a family is divided
against itself, it shall not what? Stand. No,
but this type of family, there is a unity. There
is a union. There is a relationship. So we said
the word mansion. I need to say that. Mansion,
we said the word is what? Mone. Mone is M -O
-N -E. Right? Mone, M -O -N -E. John 14, 23.
Let's see where he says that again. John 14,
23. John 14, 23. He says this. He said, Jesus
answered and said unto him, If a man love me,
he will keep my words, and my Father will love
him, and we will come unto him and make our abode
with him. That word abode there is the same word
mone. Amen? It's not speaking literal mansion
that is in our head. A guy going to Iskele and
buying a space on the ocean and then sand filling
it and then building something that is out of
city. No. The Greek word for that money is not
talking about that that is in our mind. But rather,
that word mone, if you check it in the Septuagint
also, you realize it's talking about a staying
place, a dwelling place. Amen? And in fact, it's
not only a dwelling place, an individual dwelling
place. So in my father's family, there is what?
There is an individual dwelling place. There's
a place where an individual stays. Hallelujah.
In my father's family. That's the word mentioned
there. The word prepare. The word prepare means
hitoi mazo. It actually means to make ready.
To make ready. Verse 2 says, I go to prepare
a place for you. In my father's household, in
my father's family, there are many spots, individual
places. If it were not so, I would have what?
Told you, I go to prepare what? A place for you.
So what Jesus is saying, is that I go to prepare
spots, places, that many will come into this
family. Glory to Jesus. It will not only be me
and the Father. It will not be a relationship
between only the Father and myself. But now it
will be a relationship, what? Of many. That's
why you see, you say, whosoever thirsts, shall
come and drink. Whosoever thirsts, shall come
and what? Drink. It will be... A place for many,
many, many. In fact, the way I was preparing,
it came to my mind. He said, in God's family,
we have money that can take the 7 point something
billion of us on the earth. Glory to Jesus. So
you see, why we now say, with me. God wins billions
of souls with me. He takes over territories.
What we are saying in essence, in our father's
family, billions of souls can still join that
family. What are we saying? We cannot exhaust
that. Hallelujah. So what we are saying in essence,
that in my father's family, we will be many.
Hallelujah. We will be what? We will be many.
Greater works. We will be many. It will not just
be a few of us. We will be many. So he says,
if I go, that word, if I go to prepare, I say
that word prepare is what? H -E -T -O -I -M -A
-Z -O. H -E -T -O -I -M -A -Z -O. It means I
go to make ready. I go to make ready. That's
the word hitomazo. H -E -T -O -I -M -A -Z -O.
I go to make necessary preparations. I go to
get everything ready. Hallelujah. I make everything
ready. I make it fit. For every one of us to
dwell in. Then he now says. Where I am. He says
where I am. There ye may be what? Also. Where
I am. Where I stand. That is where you will what?
You will stand. Where are we going to stand?
In the father's family. Hallelujah. So you see
now. That will validate where we're coming from.
When Jesus will say, I am in the Father and the
Father is in me. And when you believe, also you
become part of what? The family. So the works
that I do, the Father does the work. Now the
work you will do, right? Also the Father will
do what? Will do the work through you. Because
you are part of the family. So the works are
not left only for Jesus, but the works also will
continue in the believer. Hallelujah. They will
continue in the believer. So where Jesus is standing,
there also I am standing. Glory to Jesus. John
14, 11, see. He said, believe me that I am in
the Father and the Father in me, or else believe
me for the very what? For the very work's sake.
And we say, where is Jesus? Jesus is in the Father.
The Father is in Jesus. I am in the Father. And
the Father is in me also. Glory to Jesus. John
14, 18 now. John 14, 18. I will not leave you
comfortless. I will come to you. Yet a little
while, and the world will see me no more. But
ye see me because I live. Ye shall what? Ye shall
live. Also. 19. Yet a little while and the world
will see me. No more. And ye see me because I
live. Ye shall what? Live also. 20. At that day,
ye shall know that I am in the Father. Ha! And
ye in me. And I where? And I in you. Let's read
it again carefully. 20. At that day, ye shall
know that I am what? And ye in, and I in, and
I in you. 1426. So how is this reality going
to happen? But the Comforter, who is the Holy
Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name,
he shall teach you all things and bring all things
to your remembrance, whatsoever I have what?
I have said to you. 15, 26. We read it again.
We are going back to it. But when the comforter
is come, whom I will send unto what? Let's connect
this now, carefully. Everybody, let's connect
it. John 14, 11. Pay attention. John 14, 20.
Sorry. 14, 20. At that day, ye shall know that
I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in...
The father in me. I am in the father. And I am
in. In you. Then now I now say. Let's read. John
what? 1526. But when the comforter is come. Whom
I will. Whom I will. Send to who. Let's talk
now. Whom I will send. From the father. Even
the spirit of truth. Who proceeded from the father.
He shall what? Testify of me. I will send him
where? To you. 16, 7. Nevertheless, I tell you
the truth. It is expedient for you that I go.
For if I go not away, the comforter will not
what? Can you see? Consistency. I will send him
to you. He will come to you. He will be in you.
Amen. So what Jesus is saying, by saying that
I will be in you, I will be in you through the
comforter. Hallelujah. Are we all on the same
place? Are we all on the same place? Good. Because
that's 16, 16. Let's check 16, 16. John 16, 16.
He said, a little while and ye shall not see
me. And again, a little while and when ye shall
see me. because i go to what i go to the father
so that what a little while means temporal temporal
a little while you will see me a little while
you will not what see me temporal temporal 22
now 16 that's 16 20 sorry john 16 20. Verily,
verily, I say unto you, that ye shall weep and
lament, but the world shall rejoice, and ye shall
be sorrowful. But your sorrow shall be turned
into what? But your sorrow shall be turned into
what? Hallelujah. A woman, when she is in travail,
had sorrow, because her hour is come. But as
soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembered
no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born
into what? 22. and ye now therefore have what
but i will see you and your heart shall and your
joy no man what take care it what away from you
hallelujah away from you so that what little
i said what temporal in greek it means micron
or micron m -i -k -r -o -n is from the from the
root words micros or micros m -i -k -r -o -s
little micron from the root word micros m -i
-k -r -o -s same spelling and i told i missed
temporal it means short time small time a short
distance so what jesus was telling them in a
short time you will not see me and in a short
time you will what You will see me. So it's the
same word that is used in Matthew 26. Write these
scriptures. Matthew 26, 39. Matthew 26, 39. Matthew
26, 73. Matthew 26, 73. It's the same word. Have
you written that down? Then now, John 15, 26,
where we read, he said, I will... John 15, 26.
He said, I will send the comforter unto you from
what? From the Father. Hallelujah. Same place
in John 6, 7. He said, I will send the comforter
unto you from the Father. So what Jesus meant
by saying a little while or in a short time,
microns, microns or micron, right? In a short
time, in a short distance, I will go, you will
not see me. And then you will now what? See me
again. What he was talking about, he was talking
about that three days you will not see me. In
three days and three nights, right? In my death,
burial and resurrection, you will not see me.
And yet what? you will see me again we're gonna
quickly just put put a stop to this and then
we we move on write it a little while what he
meant by saying in this temporary time he was
referring to about what the three days and three
nights of the event of the cross the three days
and three nights of the events of the cross He
said, when I go, you will sorrow because physically
you will not be with me. Right? You will sorrow.
That sorrow is not talking about spiritual sorrow.
No, it means you're going to cry. You're going
to miss me. He said, but no, that's not what's
going on. In a short time, you're going to also
what? See me because I'll come to you. He said,
your sorrow will be turned into what? Into joy.
John 20, 17. John 20, 17. Everybody. Jesus said
unto her, taught me not for I am not yet ascended
to my father, but go to my brethren and say unto
them, I ascend unto my father and your, I ascend
unto my father and your father and to my God
and your, and your God. I have not yet ascended.
Let's reverse back again. To John chapter 7.
Let's reverse back to John chapter 7. Verse 39.
But this spake he of the Spirit, which day that
belief on him shall receive. For the Holy Ghost
was not yet given, because that Jesus was not
yet what? Glorified. 17 now. Where we now? Sorry,
John 7, 39. Because Jesus was not yet what? Glorified.
20, 29 now. Is that 2029? 2017. And Jesus said
unto her, Touch me not. This communication now
is upon his what? Resurrection. He now said,
Touch me not, for I am not ascended unto my Father,
but go to my brethren and say unto them, I ascend
unto my Father, and your, and to my God, and
your, and your God. Now we see glorification,
right? Yes, we see glorification. So verse 19.
Of that same place. Then the same day. At evening.
Being the first day of the week. When the doors
were shut. Where the disciples were assembled.
For fear of the Jews. Came Jesus and stood where?
In the midst. And said unto them what? Peace
be what? Unto you. The same statement he spoke
unto them. Has he been fulfilled? He told them
a little while, I will not be with you. And a
little while, I will be with you. So he wasn't
talking about something far -fetched. What he
was saying is that upon the event of the cross,
I will not be with you. But now after my resurrection,
I will what? I will be with you. Now he met her
and told her, tell my brethren, I am coming.
But I have not yet ascended to my Father, but
I will come to them. Hallelujah. Glory to Jesus.
Are we there? So we now see that Jesus' resurrection
is an important activity. Amen? Yes, so him being
raised from the dead is very vital. It's a very
key fact. Pastor Emma taught us that throughout.
We looked at different belief systems, right?
Jehovah Witness, Mormon, we looked at it. And
some of the things that they are holding on to.
That will help us in apologia. Hallelujah. Amen.
So we now see, he says something that is important.
Ascension. He said, I have not ascended to my
what? To my father. So what we see, right? We
see events, two events. Resurrection and what?
And ascension. Resurrection and ascension are
not two different realities. They are not two
different what? I think we have treated it, sir.
We've treated ascension in detail. It's in the
cell. Yes. So now, John 14, 2. John 14, 2. John
14, 2. In my father's house there are many mansions.
If it were not so, I would have not told you.
I go to prepare a what? I go to what? Prepare
a what? A place for you. 13. 3, sorry. And if
I go and prepare a place for you, I will come
again and receive you unto myself that where
I am, there ye may be what? Also. So what will
give the authority, the right to be where I am
in the father's family, right? Is that I will
go and prepare what? A place. When I go and prepare
a place, right? He said, I will come again. Does
it look same communication with what he was telling
them? That a little while you will not see me
and a little while you will what? You will see
me because I go to the Father. The same thing.
He said, I will go and prepare a place for you
and I will come what? Unto you. And not only
come again unto you. He said, I will receive
you unto what? Glory to Jesus. I will receive
you unto myself. Then where I am, there ye also
may be. What? There ye may be also. We've learned
in our cell right during the teaching of ascension.
That often what we think is ascension is that
in Acts, right? In Acts chapter 1, after he finished,
he went on to the Mount Olives, right? And then
from there... In fact, that kind of messed us
up more, right? From Sunday school, you know,
the books that we often will use, they will show
us the picture, you know. some two angels are
standing by the left and right i don't know about
your book but as i remember my book you know
they always they print those things from just
for us yes it's from just they always print those
things right yes pastor fred is shaking his head
so you show us angels two on the right and left
and then they'll say this is how jesus went up
to heaven yes amen so Now, let's look at Acts
chapter 2, verse 32. Yes, we're on point. Acts
chapter 2, verse 32. Thank you, Holy Spirit.
Let's read from verse 31. He, seeing this before,
spake of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, that
his soul was not left where? In hell, neither
his flesh did see corruption. This Jesus had
got raised up. Amen. Can you see? This Jesus
has got what? Raised up whereof we are all what?
Witnesses. Therefore being by the right hand
of God exalted. We've treated right hand, right?
Place of authority. And having received of the
Father the promise of what? He said, having received
from the Father the promise of what? Remember
in John where we read, he said, I will send you
the comforter that will come from the Father.
Amen. And now Peter is teaching here. He said,
have you received? Are we all here? Where are
we? Which verse? Which verse? That's three. And
have you received of the Father the promise of
the Holy Ghost? So now, let's go back to out
of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
Can you see? That the Spirit, he said, these
he speak of the Spirit that shall be given to
them that what? That shall be leaf. Amen? So
now, having received of the Father the promise
of the Holy Ghost, he had what? Everybody see
now. He had what? He had shed forth the Holy
Spirit. Which ye now see and what? And hear.
So when was the Holy Spirit shared? When was
the Holy Spirit shared? Let's come back now.
31. We must get this now because this is where
we are stopping now. 31. He seen this before.
Speak of the resurrection of what? Christ. So
underline the word resurrection of what? Christ.
Now he quoted that place also from Psalms. That
his soul was not left what? In hell. Neither
his flesh did see what? Corruption. We see resurrection,
right? Then now, from there now, 32. This Jesus
has got what? Raised up. Whereof we are all what?
So he was saying something that he also witnessed.
He saw. Because Jesus came unto them. He told
them a little while I will not be with you. And
a little while I what? I will be with you. He's
told them that we are witnesses that he was with
us. We are witnesses that God raised him from
what? From the dead. Then now, 33, everybody.
Therefore, being by the right hand of God exalted,
place of authority because Jesus has already
taught them upon this. Right? He said, and having
received of the Father. He said, therefore, being
by the right hand of God. exalted, right, is
the same event by saying that he has received
of the Father the promise of what? The Holy Ghost.
Are we all here? What did he do with that which
he has received? He shed forth the Holy Ghost,
which ye now see and what? They are now seeing
and hearing of the Holy Ghost. from the tongues
and interpretation of the tongues that just came
upon them during the Pentecost. So what Peter
is saying there is that what you see, that you
guys are saying that they are drunk, right? And
all of them are saying gibberish. And they don't
know what they are saying. He is saying that
what you are now seeing and what you are hearing,
is as a result of the Holy Ghost that has been
what? That has been shed forth. Glory to Jesus.
So what we are saying in essence, the giving
of the Holy Ghost, let me connect it because
it's the next thing we're going to look at. The
giving of the Holy Ghost, in the giving of the
Holy Ghost or in the shedding of the Holy Ghost,
right? What we will see, we will see new experiences
in the believer. One of the new experiences in
the believer, we are going to see tongues and
interpretation of what? Of tongues. Prior to
now, it has never happened. See, I hope you know
they've been holding Pentecost upon Pentecost.
But they've never had a Pentecost where they
now see a group of people, right? Or their own
group of people gathered in one place and suddenly
speaking, you know, With utterances that every
one of them will gather and say, these guys must
be mad. They must be drunk. This is the first
Pentecost in all their Pentecost that they are
seeing such an event happening. And Peter will
tell them that this event you now hear and what?
And see is an event of the Holy Ghost. So in
the believer, right? We will see an event of
the Holy Ghost called tongues and what? Interpretation
of tongues. Glory to Jesus. Mark 16, 15. So upon
Jesus' resurrection and ascension, what we see
is that what? The Holy Ghost has been shed. The
Holy Ghost has been given. Mark 16, 15. Oh, sorry.
Mark 16, 15, okay? And he said unto them, do
what? Go ye into the world and what? And preach
the what? The gospel to every creature. 16. He
that believeth and is what? Shall be saved. But
he that believeth not shall be what? Shall be
damned. 17, everybody now. You remember in John,
you remember he said that the works that I do,
if you believe in me, you will also what? you
will also do, and greater works than these you
will also what? You will also do. So, now 17.
And these signs shall follow them that what?
That believe. In my name, they shall do these
works. Now, let's begin to underline it. One
of the works they shall do, they shall what?
First work they shall do is that they will preach
the gospel. Amen? He said, go here into the world
and what? So, the first work we see they will
do here. that is the work of jesus is that they
will preach the gospel two second what we can
see that they will do here is that they will
cast out devils did jesus also cast out devil
yes so they will cast out devils they shall speak
with what with new tongues So in greater works,
one of the new things that is happening with
the believer upon receiving the Holy Ghost as
a consequence of salvation is that the believer
will speak with what? With new tongues. 18. They
shall take up what? Serpents. And if they drink
any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them. They
shall lay hands on the sick and the sick shall
what? Shall recover. Peter will say upon his
resurrection, this Jesus you now see is seated
at the right hand of God. Hallelujah. He is seated
at the place of what? Authority. Which is that
he has received the promise of what? Take us
to Acts chapter 2 verse 33 so that we can see
what I'm saying. Because there's something I
want to say now. Therefore being by the what?
Let's read it together. Therefore being by the
right hand of God, what? Exalted, which is also
he has received from the Father the promise of
what? The Spirit. What did he do with it? He
has shed forth what? These which you now what?
Let me say this now before I say the next thing.
Is that the man that has the indwelling of the
Spirit, the actions of the Spirit of God in the
believer. are actions that will be seen and heard
hallelujah when our brother was leading us in
the prayers this morning he said that we are
going to have what utterances we are going to
have supernatural experiences so we will hear
and we will what we will see He said he has shed
for this. What Peter was saying there is that
these men that you have seen or you have seen,
they have received the promise of the Holy Ghost.
And what he meant also by saying is that now
these people are also at the right hand of God.
What? Exalted. Jesus is in the place of authority.
They are also in the place of what? Authority.
Because Jesus received the promise of the Holy
Ghost, right? And he has shed it forth. They
have also received that what? That promise. I
am in the Father, the Father in me, and I am
in you. So how are we in the Father and the Father
in us? We are in the Father and the Father in
us through what? Through the Holy Ghost. So I
can preach. Or I will preach the gospel because
the Father is in what? Is in me through the Holy
Ghost. I will cast out devils, right? Because
the Father is in me through the what? The Holy
Ghost. How did I get the Holy Ghost? I got the
Holy Ghost, what? At salvation. When I believed.
I will lay hands on the sick. You remember what
we read in John chapter 3? He said that it's
not his parents that sinned, right? But this
has happened that the works of God may be made
what? Manifest where? In him. And we say that
one of the works that we are seeing of God made
manifest is the work of what? Healing. So Jesus
will also tell us that in my name, when you lay
hands on the sick, the sick will what? Will be
healed. But you see, that healing is happening
by the ability of what? The Holy Ghost. Sorry.
With you now what? See and Praise God. So now,
what are we saying in essence? Write this now.
Having come across all this from Ezekiel to now,
what we are saying in essence is that the believer
is one with Jesus. Hallelujah. What we are saying
is that the believer is in union with Jesus.
What we are saying, the believer is what? Is
one with Jesus. Is in union with Jesus. Is in
relationship with who? With Jesus. How? Through
the indwelling of the Holy Ghost. Because what
we see is that Jesus received the promise from
the Father and he has shed it forth. He said,
go into the world and preach the gospel that
whosoever believes is saved and whosoever does
not believe is damned. Right? Yes, so that I
believe in Jesus. And where all we read in John,
you keep hearing, believe on me. Believe on the
works. Believe on the one that has sent me. Oh,
Philip, why is it that you still ask that you
want to see the Father? He that has seen me has
seen what? Has seen the Father. Because the works
that I do testify of what? Of the Father. So
there are works that I see in the believer that
will testify of who? The father. One of the works
that we will see in the believer that will testify
of the father is the preaching of the gospel.
Then let me summarize it now by saying miracles,
signs and what? And wonders. Then we now see
what we are going to talk about. The giftings
of what? Of the Holy Ghost. Because when we see
all these operations, we know that what? They
testify of the Father in the believer. Say, I
have the Spirit of God. I have the Spirit of
God. And He's indwelling in me. And I do greater
works because I believe in Jesus Christ. I'm
in union with Jesus. I'm in union with Jesus.
I am one with Him. Glory to Jesus. Can we pray
in the Holy Ghost, everybody? 2 verse 38 gifts
of the spirit and i said something before i said
we should write gifts of the spirit i said salvation
right the man that has come into christ at salvation
right salvation is the believers starting out
or is the believers wow the english now how will
i put it because it's not in my note i'm just
saying it now from my heart is this english correct
is the okay is the starting out of a believer's
life okay i'm getting english now thank you okay
starting point okay glory to jesus okay so salvation
is the starting point of a believer's life or
journey in christ jesus i'll write that because
now that life will be a life aided by the spirit
of god you know what i just said Because that
life will be a life what? Aided by what? By the
Spirit of God. Remember we came from somewhere
where Jesus said, the works that I do, the man
that believe with me will also what? Will also
do the works. So when you are saved, you are
not saved to just remain where you are. You are
saved to do the works of Christ. So salvation,
is the starting point of a believer's life to
do the works of Jesus and greater works. And
these works are the works that will be performed
by the Holy Ghost in the believer. Do we understand
the connection? Yes. So, Acts chapter 2, verse
38. Then Peter said unto them, Repent and be
baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus
Christ, for the remission of what? Can you see?
That the preaching of the gospel, what the preaching
of the gospel offers to the unbeliever is the
gift of what? Of the Holy Ghost. So what we are
saying in essence, that when the gospel is preached
and a man believes on the gospel and he saves
what he receives, right? As a gift. To satisfy
and validate that he is saved is what? The Holy
Ghost. You see, Peter would have said, then Peter
said unto them, Repent and be baptized every
one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the
remission of your sins. And ye shall receive
mansions and money and cars and wives and families.
And there will be this abundance elevation that
will come to you. Let me say this so that we
can laugh. Ye shall receive your keys. And then
the Jews will go, yay! If you're online, you're
hearing me. What you receive as a gift in salvation
is what? The Holy Ghost. Do we not need another
thing? You don't need anything. What you receive
is the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost is the one
that will produce the works of Jesus in you and
greater works in you. So now, what is the word
gift? What is the word what? Gift. Say, I have
the gift of the Holy Ghost. Say, I have the gift
of the Holy Ghost. Say, I have the gift of the
Holy Ghost. And because that I have the gift
of the Holy Ghost, I do works of Jesus and greater
works. So what is the word gifts? The word gifts
in Greek, it means Doron. D -O -R -O -N. Doron.
D -O -R -O -N. Which means to be offered freely.
Don't worry, we're just introducing this. In
the next two, three minutes, I will stop here.
We'll pray for two minutes and then we have the
worship team help us. The word gives is what?
Doron. Doron is D -O -R -O -N. Are we being blessed
so far? Is there clarity so far? Why we took
this time on that? Because of the things that
are going to happen in the few sessions we have
ahead. Amen? Hallelujah? Yes. Is there anybody
that has not been blessed so that we give your
transport money back? Okay, everybody is blessed.
Okay, we keep our money. Yes. Amen. So the word
gives is what? Doron, which implies to be offered
freely. To be offered what? Freely. It describes
The quality of the gifts rather than the act
of the giver. It describes the what? The quality
of the gifts rather than the act of what? Of
the giver. So you see why God will give good
gifts. Hallelujah. And what he will give the
believer is his life. Amen. It describes the
what? The quality of the gifts. Rather than the
act of what? The act of the giver. So, from that
same place, just like we had, when you check
your dictionary, by now when I say dictionary,
I don't mean your Merriam -Webster. Right? Or
advanced learners. They are learning but in an
advanced way. Okay. when you check that particular
context right you realize that the word of in
between gifts and the holy ghost the word of
right that word is absent there which we have
already established here when we see that uh
what it means we say it was added by translators
for interpretation purposes so we can toss reads
acts chapter 2 verse 38 this way give us our
place let's read it everybody let's read the
place we said the word off it's not there right
so let's read the place everybody want to go
then peter said unto them let's read it want
to go wait wait wait i can only hear pastor chidi
and aida can we read it all together Many are
tired. Few are hungry. Can we say it again? Damn
Peter. Let's say it like we mean it. Baptize
every in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission
of sins and ye shall receive the gifts the Holy
Ghost. Hallelujah. Ye shall receive the gifts
the what? The Holy Ghost. The word receive there.
The word receive. Oh, thank you, Spirit of God.
The word receive is from the Greek word lambano.
L -A -M -B -N -O. Lambano. L -A -M -B -A -N -O.
Lambano. It implies. To take hold of. To take
hold of. It's a very strong word. To take hold
of. You know, when you take hold of, you don't
let go. Hallelujah. So what he's saying is that
what? The what? The Holy Ghost. Nobody ever take
hold of something mindlessly. Imagine woman of
God. You know, I just come like this and just
put my hands. That reminds me woman of God. You
know, I like making these instances because our
minds can relate to it. You know? And I say,
ah, woman of God. You know, I just have one small
gift for you and it's outside. You say, really?
I say, yes. You are trying to know, what is this
person that wants to bring? And then suddenly
now, I just brought out a key. And then on the
key, you see R. You know it's Range Rover. You
know? And then on this thing now, it's autobiography.
2026. July. 15. You know, I say, ah, one of God.
It's just a small, it's a small gift that I'm
giving you. When this kind of gift comes, are
you going to just do? Okay, sir. Give me, sir.
Is that how you're going to take all of it? I
know one of God will first say, sir, wait, wait,
wait. Let me call pastor. I love the way the
woman of God. She said, I will collect it. I
will take all of it. Because I know the quality
of the gifts. I may come here and present the
gifts to her with just a shirt, polo, and slippers.
I may not even brush my teeth. I may just even
be unserious. The act of the giver is not what
matters. It's the quality of what? Of the gifts.
She will take hold of it. The believer ought
to know that he has received the Holy Ghost.
And that is what we are discussing. Because we
need to know the gifts that we have received.
There is no works and greater works without the
understanding of the gifts you have received.
Do you hear what I just said now? Yes, we just
have a few seconds. There is no works and greater
works for the believer without the understanding
of the gifts he has what? He has received. So
when we say you should pray in tongues, and there
is this fervency that is coming from your inside,
that fervency is not coming because The prayer
point says, you shall not die next week. You
know, often there are prayer points when they
are set, they just change the air. No. That prayer
point or that fervency is coming because you
have an understanding of the quality, the gifts
that you have what? You have received. Can we
pray in the Holy Ghost, everybody? We appreciate
you being here today. We hope you carry this
word with you throughout your week. Until next
time, stay blessed.
