Don't miss out, stay with us until 00:00:14.160 --> 00:00:18.160 the end for a rewarding experience. Let's dive 00:00:18.160 --> 00:00:23.780 right in. Exodus chapter 6 verse 3 everybody, 00:00:23.899 --> 00:00:30.019 let's go. Exodus chapter 6 verse what? Verse 00:00:30.019 --> 00:00:38.250 3. Exodus chapter 6 verse 3. If you have been 00:00:38.250 --> 00:00:40.350 with us in this past week, we've been talking 00:00:40.350 --> 00:00:43.689 about the name of who? The name of Jesus. Amen? 00:00:44.649 --> 00:00:46.530 We have been discussing about the name of what? 00:00:47.509 --> 00:00:50.909 Jesus. Why are we doing this? We are doing this, 00:00:50.909 --> 00:00:54.509 I believe, with the whole of my heart, right? 00:00:59.549 --> 00:01:01.869 What we are doing in this season, or the theme 00:01:01.869 --> 00:01:06.180 of this season, right? This understanding will 00:01:06.180 --> 00:01:11.879 play a greater role also in that. Amen. Our theme 00:01:11.879 --> 00:01:14.920 for the year is what? What is our theme for the 00:01:14.920 --> 00:01:19.640 year? Greater works. Amen. So I believe this 00:01:19.640 --> 00:01:22.959 teaching also is part of what will be so significant 00:01:22.959 --> 00:01:26.540 to us in this season. Hallelujah. That we don't 00:01:26.540 --> 00:01:30.159 go around mentioning the name of Jesus as it 00:01:30.159 --> 00:01:32.959 were every other person will mention it. Amen. 00:01:33.450 --> 00:01:36.750 In Hausa, in northern Nigeria, in Hausa, they 00:01:36.750 --> 00:01:40.810 say yes to Almasihu. You know? But when you now 00:01:40.810 --> 00:01:45.730 go to the other side, they say it's Isa. Whether 00:01:45.730 --> 00:01:49.469 you say Isa Almasihu, or you say yes to Almasihu, 00:01:50.049 --> 00:01:53.689 right? Whether you say it in English, or in whatever 00:01:53.689 --> 00:01:57.489 language, is not the main short name of the name 00:01:57.489 --> 00:02:01.870 of Jesus. What cast out demons is not the what? 00:02:04.679 --> 00:02:09.439 dimensioning in the name of Jesus that Paul preaches, 00:02:10.060 --> 00:02:12.879 that Pastor Frederick preaches. You demon get 00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:19.659 out! No! It's not the mentioning of the name 00:02:19.659 --> 00:02:24.759 of Jesus that brings the evidence that we see. 00:02:24.780 --> 00:02:27.319 Hallelujah! But Radha, let me start. This is 00:02:27.319 --> 00:02:29.449 a good way to start out this morning. It's not 00:02:29.449 --> 00:02:32.810 the mentioning of the name of Jesus that brings 00:02:32.810 --> 00:02:35.330 the evidence and the results that a believer 00:02:35.330 --> 00:02:38.990 sees, but rather is the knowledge and understanding 00:02:38.990 --> 00:02:42.349 of the name of Jesus. I just say something good 00:02:42.349 --> 00:02:48.569 now. It's not the what? It's not the mentioning 00:02:48.569 --> 00:02:52.870 of the name of Jesus that brings the evidence 00:02:52.870 --> 00:02:57.870 and the results a believer sees, but rather the 00:02:57.870 --> 00:03:01.900 knowledge and the understanding of the name of 00:03:01.900 --> 00:03:08.060 Jesus to the believer. So which means that when 00:03:08.060 --> 00:03:11.759 a believer has the knowledge and the understanding 00:03:11.759 --> 00:03:15.039 of the name of Jesus Christ, what is happening 00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:18.639 to him is that he is no longer working in information, 00:03:19.000 --> 00:03:22.240 but he is working in the reality. Hallelujah. 00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:25.240 Glory to Jesus. So that person is not working 00:03:25.240 --> 00:03:28.860 in the what? The information. I don't know whether 00:03:28.860 --> 00:03:30.580 it happens to people in other parts of Africa 00:03:30.580 --> 00:03:32.360 or part of the world but in where I'm coming 00:03:32.360 --> 00:03:34.419 from some people experience that more especially 00:03:34.419 --> 00:03:36.020 when we're in high school secondary school and 00:03:36.020 --> 00:03:38.000 all those things you know you're sleeping and 00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:41.699 something will press you you know we used to 00:03:41.699 --> 00:03:45.020 believe that something presses our neck right 00:03:45.020 --> 00:03:46.560 I don't know whether it has happened to some 00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:49.099 people here but something will press your neck 00:03:49.099 --> 00:03:53.120 and then from your dream world or your dream 00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:58.770 realm you are starting the gene is not coming 00:03:58.770 --> 00:04:03.330 out and then suddenly when you now finally get 00:04:03.330 --> 00:04:05.629 a hold of it and the gene is out you just wake 00:04:05.629 --> 00:04:13.990 up and then finally you know I know a friend 00:04:13.990 --> 00:04:19.029 when the friend sleeps and wakes up right the 00:04:19.029 --> 00:04:22.949 friend wakes up with literal marks on the body 00:04:22.949 --> 00:04:27.459 because in the dream The person was fighting 00:04:27.459 --> 00:04:31.360 with giants. And when the person wakes up in 00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:34.519 the natural realm, I mean real, because the person 00:04:34.519 --> 00:04:37.019 will have those experiences and send photos to 00:04:37.019 --> 00:04:44.319 me. You will see real marks on the body. And 00:04:44.319 --> 00:04:48.459 the person now is afraid to sleep once it is 00:04:48.459 --> 00:04:53.970 8 p .m. I'm saying something real now. So the 00:04:53.970 --> 00:04:57.310 person will stay awake 8, 9, 10, 11, 12. Why? 00:04:57.350 --> 00:05:00.649 Because the person does not want to dream. 1, 00:05:00.649 --> 00:05:04.170 2, 3. When it's getting to 3 a .m., 4 a .m., 00:05:04.170 --> 00:05:07.649 you know that morning, from that time to morning, 00:05:07.970 --> 00:05:09.930 when the sun will rise, definitely your dream 00:05:09.930 --> 00:05:13.389 will be light. That's when the person gets to 00:05:13.389 --> 00:05:20.089 sleep. We now have to do a study. Amen. Mind 00:05:20.089 --> 00:05:22.029 you, this person I'm talking about is a believer. 00:05:24.009 --> 00:05:28.970 So the person knows the name of Jesus, but the 00:05:28.970 --> 00:05:34.029 person is afraid of whatever he or she is encountering 00:05:34.029 --> 00:05:37.790 in the dream realm, right? More than the name 00:05:37.790 --> 00:05:42.810 of Jesus, the information he or she has. So you 00:05:42.810 --> 00:05:47.810 see, what overcomes is not the information, is 00:05:47.810 --> 00:05:50.910 the reality. And the reality comes by knowledge, 00:05:51.290 --> 00:05:56.000 not anyhow knowledge, accurate. knowledge, glory 00:05:56.000 --> 00:05:58.680 to Jesus. Pastor Fred is here. We had a guy, 00:05:58.980 --> 00:06:00.980 you know, the guy had returning back to Nigeria 00:06:00.980 --> 00:06:04.600 before he left was sound. The guy will stay in 00:06:04.600 --> 00:06:08.459 his house and he says he will hear voices down 00:06:08.459 --> 00:06:12.680 the streets. So Pastor Fred called him, you know, 00:06:12.879 --> 00:06:14.920 he said, come and lie down in my house, stay 00:06:14.920 --> 00:06:16.399 in my house and let's see whether you will hear 00:06:16.399 --> 00:06:21.339 voices. Before God, whom I stand, he came and 00:06:21.339 --> 00:06:23.100 stayed in his house and he didn't hear voices. 00:06:24.520 --> 00:06:26.519 It's from your house that I took him back home. 00:06:27.360 --> 00:06:29.839 He went home sound. What I'm saying is that the 00:06:29.839 --> 00:06:32.959 person has authored books now and he is doing 00:06:32.959 --> 00:06:40.139 sound. He's married with children, yes. Hallelujah. 00:06:40.699 --> 00:06:43.199 So what we are discussing in this season is, 00:06:43.220 --> 00:06:46.819 let me use one word now that came to me, is PIVOTA. 00:06:48.759 --> 00:06:51.000 My wife will say, where is this one coming from? 00:06:52.620 --> 00:06:56.220 My English is increasing, you know, the bush 00:06:56.220 --> 00:07:02.139 boy from Adama, you know. Yes, it's pivotal to 00:07:02.139 --> 00:07:06.180 the things that are happening to us in this season. 00:07:07.180 --> 00:07:11.000 Hallelujah. Glory to Jesus. Good, so we're in 00:07:11.000 --> 00:07:14.420 Exodus, right? Did we get an instruction from 00:07:14.420 --> 00:07:18.579 this, what I just said now? Did anybody get an 00:07:18.579 --> 00:07:21.620 instruction? Did anybody get an instruction now? 00:07:21.740 --> 00:07:23.579 So if you're here and you're afraid to sleep, 00:07:23.759 --> 00:07:26.399 don't be afraid to sleep. By the virtue of being 00:07:26.399 --> 00:07:29.800 part of this local church, right, I speak to 00:07:29.800 --> 00:07:34.639 you, I declare upon you, I command you, in the 00:07:34.639 --> 00:07:39.680 name of Jesus, every struggle with sleep dies 00:07:39.680 --> 00:07:44.660 now in Jesus' name. All you live here, you sleep 00:07:44.660 --> 00:07:49.360 sound, every kind of weird dreams, every kind 00:07:49.360 --> 00:07:53.459 of scary dreams, we subject you to the power 00:07:53.459 --> 00:07:58.600 in the name of Jesus. Father we thank you, for 00:07:58.600 --> 00:08:01.660 you've given your beloved sleep, and we sleep, 00:08:02.199 --> 00:08:07.279 we rest, and there is no any confusion in our 00:08:07.279 --> 00:08:10.160 restroom in the name of Jesus. We bless you Lord, 00:08:10.240 --> 00:08:14.290 be thou glorified in Jesus name. Amen. Holy Spirit, 00:08:14.529 --> 00:08:16.250 thank you for the spirit of wisdom and revelation 00:08:16.250 --> 00:08:19.649 is made manifest in this atmosphere and in our 00:08:19.649 --> 00:08:22.949 hearts as we listen to the word for in Jesus' 00:08:23.149 --> 00:08:26.089 name we pray. Amen. So Exodus chapter 6 verse 00:08:26.089 --> 00:08:31.129 3. And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac and 00:08:31.129 --> 00:08:34.730 Jacob by the name of God Almighty, but my name, 00:08:34.750 --> 00:08:38.649 Yehoah, was I not what? Known to them. Genesis 00:08:38.649 --> 00:08:44.120 chapter 12 verse 1. Genesis chapter 12 verse 00:08:44.120 --> 00:08:51.600 1. We said, but by name Jehovah was I not what? 00:08:52.059 --> 00:08:54.179 Known to them. And what did we learn about Jehovah? 00:08:56.019 --> 00:09:01.340 Jehovah means God's salvation, right? And at 00:09:01.340 --> 00:09:06.879 the end of the day from Jehovah, Jesus, Isos 00:09:06.879 --> 00:09:11.259 is the same with Joshua. Amen. And then we now 00:09:11.259 --> 00:09:15.419 came and said, That Joshua, right, is the name 00:09:15.419 --> 00:09:18.799 in Old Testament. Hallelujah. And from the Old 00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:21.659 Testament, we now realize that prophets have 00:09:21.659 --> 00:09:24.879 spoken about Jesus Christ, his humanity, his 00:09:24.879 --> 00:09:28.100 coming. Amen. So we now move to Old Testament 00:09:28.100 --> 00:09:30.720 and then look at where did the prophets spoke 00:09:30.720 --> 00:09:35.600 about what? Jesus. And now we now connected that 00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:41.460 Jesus now to Messiah. Messiah means Messiah. 00:09:41.789 --> 00:09:45.529 Amen? Because Messiah and Messiah, or Messiah, 00:09:46.009 --> 00:09:49.230 is the same with Christos. Christ means what? 00:09:49.669 --> 00:09:52.389 Christos. And we say Christos means the what? 00:09:53.309 --> 00:09:56.629 The anointed one. Amen? The chosen one. And we 00:09:56.629 --> 00:09:58.610 say in the Old Testament, you won't see anything 00:09:58.610 --> 00:10:02.389 called Christos. You won't see anything called 00:10:02.389 --> 00:10:06.210 Christ. But what you see is Messiah. Messiah 00:10:06.210 --> 00:10:09.809 means Messiah. Amen? And then we now look at 00:10:09.809 --> 00:10:13.669 Isaiah. In Isaiah, we now see one of the prophecies 00:10:13.669 --> 00:10:16.990 that were given about the Messiah is about there 00:10:16.990 --> 00:10:20.429 will be a sign and a virgin will give birth to 00:10:20.429 --> 00:10:23.549 a child and his name shall be called what? Emmanuel. 00:10:24.590 --> 00:10:28.330 Even though as of that time, Prophet Isaiah was 00:10:28.330 --> 00:10:31.269 giving the prophecy to Ahas, it happened in their 00:10:31.269 --> 00:10:35.870 time, right? But now as Matthew, Luke, Mark, 00:10:36.009 --> 00:10:38.639 John will document the event of Christ, they 00:10:38.639 --> 00:10:42.940 will document that event from what? The prophecy, 00:10:43.419 --> 00:10:46.600 the communications of the prophets. So Isaiah 00:10:46.600 --> 00:10:49.000 will be prophesying, or I will call her, will 00:10:49.000 --> 00:10:52.299 be prophesying to a woman of God regarding events 00:10:52.299 --> 00:10:56.519 that are in the future. Amen? However, some certain 00:10:56.519 --> 00:10:59.879 things will happen to her now from that prophecy, 00:11:00.299 --> 00:11:03.440 but yet the prophecy is indicating something 00:11:03.440 --> 00:11:07.919 that is coming what? Ahead. So when Pastor Tike 00:11:07.919 --> 00:11:11.419 comes to document an event that is happening 00:11:11.419 --> 00:11:15.659 with Pastor Ema. He will document that event 00:11:15.659 --> 00:11:19.039 because that event is similar to what has happened 00:11:19.039 --> 00:11:22.879 to the prophecy that I gave in a different timeline. 00:11:23.639 --> 00:11:27.919 But the pattern of this communication is the 00:11:27.919 --> 00:11:30.940 same pattern with what is happening with Pastor 00:11:30.940 --> 00:11:34.440 Ema. So Pastor Takunda will write that communication. 00:11:34.639 --> 00:11:38.580 and quote that same prophecy that I gave to her, 00:11:38.679 --> 00:11:41.779 right? In Pastor Emanuel's words, event two. 00:11:42.019 --> 00:11:44.740 Hallelujah. So what did we learn? We learned 00:11:44.740 --> 00:11:49.559 that Emanuel means what? God with what? With 00:11:49.559 --> 00:11:53.220 us. And then we now read also in now Luke that 00:11:53.220 --> 00:11:55.299 we see that his name shall also be called what? 00:11:55.779 --> 00:11:59.840 Emanuel, Jesus. So when we say God's salvation, 00:12:00.220 --> 00:12:03.080 what we are saying is that Emanuel, God with 00:12:03.080 --> 00:12:10.529 us. God Becoming man to save men Hallelujah, 00:12:11.190 --> 00:12:13.629 so that is what we have been doing all this while. 00:12:13.629 --> 00:12:17.909 Hallelujah. Good So we now also said that Jesus 00:12:17.909 --> 00:12:21.610 is holding that conversation Right from the point 00:12:21.610 --> 00:12:25.070 of resurrection Hallelujah. He said that in my 00:12:25.070 --> 00:12:27.730 name after being raised from the dead. He said 00:12:27.730 --> 00:12:34.370 in my Name in my name and we learned that Name 00:12:34.370 --> 00:12:38.149 or Norma figuratively means a person's what? 00:12:39.070 --> 00:12:44.909 Office, authority, function. Right? Right! So 00:12:44.909 --> 00:12:48.710 what Jesus will say, from my resurrection, from 00:12:48.710 --> 00:12:53.409 my authority, now go and preach to how many nations? 00:12:54.049 --> 00:12:57.590 All nations. So if you are writing like this, 00:12:58.210 --> 00:13:04.799 in resurrection, in resurrection, Every nation 00:13:04.799 --> 00:13:12.000 ought to be one for Jesus. In resurrection, every 00:13:12.000 --> 00:13:18.879 nation, right, is to be one for Jesus. In resurrection. 00:13:23.840 --> 00:13:25.860 In resurrection, every nation is to be one for 00:13:25.860 --> 00:13:31.210 who? For Jesus. Hallelujah. So far so good. Do 00:13:31.210 --> 00:13:32.610 we understand where we have been coming from? 00:13:33.409 --> 00:13:36.049 So now and we now talked about Jesus now in Luke 00:13:36.049 --> 00:13:38.710 24 talking about resurrection, right? The remissions 00:13:38.710 --> 00:13:40.889 of his repentance will be preached in my name 00:13:40.889 --> 00:13:43.210 and we looked at everywhere in my name in my 00:13:43.210 --> 00:13:45.990 name in my name, right? So if it's your Bible 00:13:45.990 --> 00:13:48.769 every time now as you're learning now in this 00:13:48.769 --> 00:13:51.809 local church Every time you're hearing in the 00:13:51.809 --> 00:13:55.269 name of Jesus We are not talking about his biological 00:13:55.269 --> 00:14:00.570 nomenclature You know We are talking about what 00:14:00.570 --> 00:14:04.529 we are talking about his office Don't mind me. 00:14:04.610 --> 00:14:06.210 Oh, you understand don't know where they're coming 00:14:06.210 --> 00:14:09.870 from, right? So we're talking about his what 00:14:09.870 --> 00:14:13.450 his office Let me say something now by the spirit 00:14:13.450 --> 00:14:16.860 to somebody So which means that every time you 00:14:16.860 --> 00:14:21.460 stand before a circumstance and before a situation, 00:14:21.980 --> 00:14:25.519 before a sickness, before a mountain, before 00:14:25.519 --> 00:14:29.279 a challenge, don't come in the biological name 00:14:29.279 --> 00:14:32.539 of Jesus, come against that thing in the office 00:14:32.539 --> 00:14:37.259 of Jesus. Do you know what I just said now? So 00:14:37.259 --> 00:14:39.059 now let me let me take us a little bit further. 00:14:39.539 --> 00:14:42.720 So which means that every time this is a mountain, 00:14:43.399 --> 00:14:47.559 I am standing before it. Every time I want to 00:14:47.559 --> 00:14:51.460 mention or name the name of Jesus against this 00:14:51.460 --> 00:14:54.860 mountain, I will not. Now I'm having understanding. 00:14:54.879 --> 00:14:58.059 Hallelujah. So I'm not coming against this mountain 00:14:58.059 --> 00:15:01.159 just by the information I have. I'm coming against 00:15:01.159 --> 00:15:06.139 this mountain by the reality of the office, of 00:15:06.139 --> 00:15:10.679 the authority, of the name of who? Jesus. Listen 00:15:10.679 --> 00:15:15.639 again. So which means? that every time I mention 00:15:15.639 --> 00:15:19.940 the name of Jesus, this mountain is not responding 00:15:19.940 --> 00:15:23.500 to me. This mountain is responding to Jesus. 00:15:24.200 --> 00:15:26.940 And what this mountain is responding to is not 00:15:26.940 --> 00:15:29.860 the humanity of Jesus. This mountain is responding 00:15:29.860 --> 00:15:32.720 to the power of resurrection that raises Jesus 00:15:32.720 --> 00:15:40.100 from the dead. Do you see why Peter, by the gates, 00:15:40.360 --> 00:15:43.960 We'll say silver and gold, we do not what? We 00:15:43.960 --> 00:15:48.700 do not have. But we know we have seen, we have 00:15:48.700 --> 00:15:52.120 handled it, we have tested it, we have been with 00:15:52.120 --> 00:15:56.000 this Jesus and he has authorised us. He said 00:15:56.000 --> 00:16:00.179 we can give healing. We don't have silver, we 00:16:00.179 --> 00:16:02.820 don't have gold, but we know one of the provisions 00:16:02.820 --> 00:16:07.120 in resurrection is what? Is healing. Such as 00:16:07.120 --> 00:16:12.960 we have. We give unto thee in the name of what? 00:16:14.220 --> 00:16:17.639 Every time No, I will not use, I will not use 00:16:17.639 --> 00:16:20.120 Pastor Emma. No, I will not use Pastor. Come, 00:16:20.539 --> 00:16:27.139 God's voice, come. You know how, no? I will not 00:16:27.139 --> 00:16:34.000 use Pastor. Come. Two of you, come. Sit down. 00:16:35.399 --> 00:16:38.250 Good. Come, come and stand with me. Good. He 00:16:38.250 --> 00:16:41.590 is bigger than me, so that works. So Jesus is 00:16:41.590 --> 00:16:45.490 bigger, not inside you. Amen? Because He is inside 00:16:45.490 --> 00:16:47.889 you, amen? Smile now, God's voice, you are not 00:16:47.889 --> 00:16:57.230 smiling. Amen? You are not lame from birth. So 00:16:57.230 --> 00:17:01.049 when Peter came and met them and said, in the 00:17:01.049 --> 00:17:04.589 name of silver and gold, we do not have. Such 00:17:04.589 --> 00:17:08.400 that I have, I do what? I give unto thee. I just 00:17:08.400 --> 00:17:11.519 got something in my head. Every time we walk 00:17:11.519 --> 00:17:14.859 in the reality of the name of Jesus, it gives 00:17:14.859 --> 00:17:18.299 God's pleasure. Do you hear what I just said? 00:17:18.720 --> 00:17:22.299 It gives God's what? Pleasure. Because we know 00:17:22.299 --> 00:17:26.380 that we are selves. And we are taking our rightful 00:17:26.380 --> 00:17:29.839 place in the Father. So, as we say, silver and 00:17:29.839 --> 00:17:33.500 gold, we do not have, such that we have, we do 00:17:33.500 --> 00:17:38.680 what? We give unto thee. In the name of Jesus, 00:17:39.680 --> 00:17:45.660 rise up and walk. In Peter's reality, he knows 00:17:45.660 --> 00:17:49.859 he is not the one raising this guy. Who is raising 00:17:49.859 --> 00:17:54.500 the guy? So please, in the name of Jesus, rise 00:17:54.500 --> 00:18:00.220 up and walk. Your holy mantra again. Sit down. 00:18:00.880 --> 00:18:08.480 In the name of Jesus, rise up and walk! Peter 00:18:08.480 --> 00:18:12.099 didn't raise that guy. Who raised him? Jesus 00:18:12.099 --> 00:18:15.140 raised him. Sit down. Thank you, sirs. So every 00:18:15.140 --> 00:18:19.339 time we walk in the reality of the name of Jesus, 00:18:19.819 --> 00:18:22.059 you see, that is why it should not be difficult. 00:18:22.900 --> 00:18:25.480 When you're encountering challenges, you should 00:18:25.480 --> 00:18:27.960 not be afraid. You are not the one overcoming 00:18:27.960 --> 00:18:32.980 the challenges. Jesus is the one at work. That 00:18:32.980 --> 00:18:36.779 is why that last part of Mark said, and God was 00:18:36.779 --> 00:18:41.160 working with them, confirming the words, with 00:18:41.160 --> 00:18:46.140 signs, what? Following. Glory to Jesus. Glory 00:18:46.140 --> 00:18:48.779 to Jesus. I just personally, if we end this here 00:18:48.779 --> 00:18:51.859 now, we have learned something, because this 00:18:51.859 --> 00:18:56.259 is what we are going to. Hallelujah. So now Genesis 00:18:56.259 --> 00:19:07.819 chapter 12 Genesis chapter 12 verse 1 Now the 00:19:07.819 --> 00:19:10.720 Lord has said to Abraham Right, I will just stop 00:19:10.720 --> 00:19:13.460 at three said to Abraham get thee out of thy 00:19:13.460 --> 00:19:15.619 country and of thy kindred and from thy father's 00:19:15.619 --> 00:19:18.079 house unto a land that I will what? Show thee 00:19:18.079 --> 00:19:20.920 and I will make of thee a great nation and I 00:19:20.920 --> 00:19:23.880 will bless thee and make thy name what? great 00:19:24.089 --> 00:19:26.930 And thou shalt be a what? A blessing, three. 00:19:27.150 --> 00:19:29.789 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse 00:19:29.789 --> 00:19:32.470 thee, curse him that cursed thee, and in thee 00:19:32.470 --> 00:19:35.210 shall all the families of the earth be blessed. 00:19:35.329 --> 00:19:38.349 So if it's your Bible, please underline the words, 00:19:38.849 --> 00:19:41.910 all the families of the earth, number one. Number 00:19:41.910 --> 00:19:45.970 two, I will make of thee a great nation. I will 00:19:45.970 --> 00:19:49.710 make of thee a great what? Nation, all the families 00:19:49.710 --> 00:19:52.869 of the earth. Then Genesis chapter 15 verse one 00:19:52.869 --> 00:19:56.789 to six. Genesis 15 1 6 after this is the word 00:19:56.789 --> 00:19:59.269 of the Lord come unto Abraham in a vision saying 00:19:59.269 --> 00:20:03.049 fear not Abraham I Abraham now I am thy shield 00:20:03.049 --> 00:20:05.309 and the exceeding great reward and Abraham said 00:20:05.309 --> 00:20:09.829 Lord God what will thou give me seen I grow up 00:20:09.829 --> 00:20:12.509 chandless and the steward of thy house of my 00:20:12.509 --> 00:20:16.170 house is this Eliezer of the maskals and Abraham 00:20:16.170 --> 00:20:20.549 said behold to me thou has given me no seat and 00:20:20.549 --> 00:20:25.140 lo no one burn in my house is mine hair and behold 00:20:25.140 --> 00:20:28.980 see again now from 12 to 13 now to 15 and behold 00:20:28.980 --> 00:20:31.539 the word of the lord came unto him saying these 00:20:31.539 --> 00:20:36.200 shall not be thine what hair but he shall come 00:20:36.200 --> 00:20:39.640 from what out of thy own balls shall be thine 00:20:39.640 --> 00:20:41.779 what hair this biological noun god is speaking 00:20:41.779 --> 00:20:44.240 to him five and he brought him forth abroad and 00:20:44.240 --> 00:20:48.460 said look now toward heaven and tell the staffs 00:20:48.480 --> 00:20:51.200 If thou be able to number them, and he said unto 00:20:51.200 --> 00:20:55.359 him, so shall thy seed what? Be. You know, previously 00:20:55.359 --> 00:20:57.740 he told him that, you know, I shall multiply 00:20:57.740 --> 00:21:01.220 thy what? Seeds. Nations will come out of you, 00:21:01.359 --> 00:21:04.519 amen? And now God is telling him that your seed 00:21:04.519 --> 00:21:08.140 shall be like the stars of where? Good. Now, 00:21:08.380 --> 00:21:12.079 six. And he believes in the Lord, and he counted 00:21:12.079 --> 00:21:16.460 him, and he counted it to him for what? So who 00:21:16.460 --> 00:21:20.430 counted who? unto righteousness God counted unto 00:21:20.430 --> 00:21:25.109 Abraham as what as righteousness hallelujah good 00:21:25.109 --> 00:21:29.789 now Romans chapter four verse nine Romans chapter 00:21:29.789 --> 00:21:32.450 four verse three let's look at different places 00:21:32.450 --> 00:21:34.430 now where that was saying it was counted onto 00:21:34.430 --> 00:21:40.910 him Romans chapter four verse three for what 00:21:40.910 --> 00:21:44.190 said the scripture Abraham believed God and it 00:21:44.190 --> 00:21:47.759 was counted onto him for what For righteousness 00:21:47.759 --> 00:21:52.000 same place right good now verse 9 now verse 9 00:21:52.000 --> 00:21:56.660 Romans 4 9 Comment this blessedness then upon 00:21:56.660 --> 00:21:59.819 the circumcision only or upon the uncircumcision 00:21:59.819 --> 00:22:03.640 only for we say that by faith was recon to Abraham 00:22:03.640 --> 00:22:08.519 forwards for righteousness Amen good now verse 00:22:08.519 --> 00:22:17.880 22 verse 22 And therefore it was imputed to him 00:22:17.880 --> 00:22:23.900 for what? For righteousness. Galatians 3 .6. 00:22:24.160 --> 00:22:28.420 Galatians 3 .6. Are we seen everywhere? Righteousness, 00:22:28.519 --> 00:22:31.720 righteousness, right? Good. So Galatians 3 .6. 00:22:33.640 --> 00:22:36.480 Even Abraham believed God and it was accounted 00:22:36.480 --> 00:22:41.279 to him as what? For righteousness. He believed 00:22:41.279 --> 00:22:44.279 God. Amen. So which means the message God gave 00:22:44.279 --> 00:22:48.099 him that nations will come out of him. He believed 00:22:48.099 --> 00:22:51.599 God and it was accounted in for what? For righteousness. 00:22:51.900 --> 00:23:00.319 James 2 23. James 2 23. James 2 23. And the scriptural 00:23:00.319 --> 00:23:03.140 of Sophia which said Abraham believed God and 00:23:03.140 --> 00:23:06.240 it was impeded onto him for righteousness and 00:23:06.240 --> 00:23:11.140 he was called the what? The friend of God. Hallelujah. 00:23:11.369 --> 00:23:14.529 So God communicated to Abraham. Abraham believed 00:23:14.529 --> 00:23:17.369 the communication and God accounted it onto him 00:23:17.369 --> 00:23:22.589 as righteousness. Abraham did nothing. What Abraham 00:23:22.589 --> 00:23:26.529 did was that he believed the communication of 00:23:26.529 --> 00:23:30.650 God to him. Glory to Jesus! Glory to Jesus! Then 00:23:30.650 --> 00:23:35.950 let's go back to Genesis chapter 17 again. So 00:23:35.950 --> 00:23:39.329 we have seen now, right, evidence that Abraham 00:23:39.329 --> 00:23:41.349 believed God and it was accounted to him as righteousness. 00:23:41.710 --> 00:23:48.009 Genesis 17, 4 to 6. As for me, behold, my covenant 00:23:48.009 --> 00:23:53.490 is with thee, and thou shalt be father of many 00:23:53.490 --> 00:23:56.809 nations. Verse 5. Neither shall thy name anymore 00:23:56.809 --> 00:24:01.109 be called Abraham, but thy name shall be Abraham, 00:24:01.529 --> 00:24:04.710 for a father of many nations have I made thee. 00:24:04.829 --> 00:24:07.390 and I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and 00:24:07.390 --> 00:24:10.269 I will make nations of thee, and kings shall 00:24:10.269 --> 00:24:13.710 come out of what? Can you see nations, nations, 00:24:14.009 --> 00:24:16.809 nations, nations, nations? All the communications 00:24:16.809 --> 00:24:21.089 of God to Abraham is about what? Nations! Glory 00:24:21.089 --> 00:24:26.049 to Jesus! Hallelujah! Good, so now let's go to 00:24:26.049 --> 00:24:29.769 Luke chapter 1, everybody. Luke chapter 1 verse 00:24:29.769 --> 00:24:37.910 73 to 77. Some people are trying to sleep. What 00:24:37.910 --> 00:24:39.349 were you doing in the night? Were you flying 00:24:39.349 --> 00:24:43.230 in the night? What were you doing in the night? 00:24:43.309 --> 00:24:50.950 You were flying in the night or what? Luke chapter 00:24:50.950 --> 00:24:54.970 1 verse 72. To perform the mercy promised to 00:24:54.970 --> 00:24:58.309 our father, see now everybody. So which means 00:24:58.309 --> 00:25:02.369 that what God spoke to Abraham, the scripture 00:25:02.369 --> 00:25:07.319 calls it what? The scripture calls it what? Promise. 00:25:08.079 --> 00:25:11.279 To perform the mercy promised to our fathers 00:25:11.279 --> 00:25:14.000 and to remember his holy covenant next verse. 00:25:14.779 --> 00:25:18.160 The oath which he swear to our what? Our father 00:25:18.160 --> 00:25:21.980 what? Abraham, yes, that he will grant to us 00:25:21.980 --> 00:25:24.539 that we being delivered out of the hand of our 00:25:24.539 --> 00:25:28.980 enemies might serve him without what? Without 00:25:28.980 --> 00:25:37.119 fear. in holiness and righteousness before him 00:25:37.119 --> 00:25:41.259 all the days of our lives, yes? And thou, child, 00:25:41.279 --> 00:25:43.359 shall be called the prophet of the highest, for 00:25:43.359 --> 00:25:45.940 thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to 00:25:45.940 --> 00:25:48.660 prepare his ways, seven, seven now, to give him 00:25:48.660 --> 00:25:52.579 knowledge of what? Of salvation unto his people 00:25:52.579 --> 00:25:55.819 by the remission of what? Of their sins. Speaking 00:25:55.819 --> 00:26:00.720 about Jesus now. Hallelujah. That the promise 00:26:01.480 --> 00:26:04.579 that communication that God was doing with Abraham, 00:26:05.000 --> 00:26:08.000 the scripture calls it what? Promise. And that 00:26:08.000 --> 00:26:12.039 promise is about who? About Christ. Glory to 00:26:12.039 --> 00:26:15.880 Jesus. That in Christ, all the nations of the 00:26:15.880 --> 00:26:19.599 earth will have salvation by the remission of 00:26:19.599 --> 00:26:23.279 their what? Of their sins. That's the communication. 00:26:24.359 --> 00:26:28.640 Amen? Good. So now, have a look at that now. 00:26:28.640 --> 00:26:32.529 Let's look at Hebrews chapter 6 verse 13. so 00:26:32.529 --> 00:26:34.890 that we can quickly connect that. Hebrews chapter 00:26:34.890 --> 00:26:47.789 6 verse 13. Hebrews chapter 6 verse 13. Are we 00:26:47.789 --> 00:26:51.089 all there everybody? We're gonna read it to 15. 00:26:51.410 --> 00:26:56.309 He said, for when God made promise to who? Let's 00:26:56.309 --> 00:26:58.750 read it together. For when God made promise to 00:26:58.750 --> 00:27:03.259 who? To Abraham. Because he could swear by no 00:27:03.259 --> 00:27:08.480 greater, he swore by what? By himself, 14. Saying, 00:27:08.940 --> 00:27:13.299 surely blessing I will do what? Bless thee. And 00:27:13.299 --> 00:27:17.119 multiplying I will what? Multiply thee. And so, 00:27:17.359 --> 00:27:21.240 after he had patiently endured, he obtained the 00:27:21.240 --> 00:27:24.700 what? He promised. So which means, the promise 00:27:24.700 --> 00:27:29.039 God gave Abraham, right? Did he obtain the promise? 00:27:29.700 --> 00:27:34.329 Yes. So God gave a promise to Abraham and God 00:27:34.329 --> 00:27:38.069 ensured that Abraham obtained the what? The promise. 00:27:38.089 --> 00:27:43.329 Hallelujah. Glory to God. Good. Now, having said 00:27:43.329 --> 00:27:46.049 all this, now let's go to Genesis 22 verse 1. 00:27:47.109 --> 00:27:49.950 Are we all working together? Is it clear? So 00:27:49.950 --> 00:27:52.569 God spoke to Abraham. The scripture calls that 00:27:52.569 --> 00:27:56.549 communication what? Promise. Amen. And then now 00:27:56.549 --> 00:27:59.710 from the promise, Abraham believed the promise, 00:27:59.769 --> 00:28:02.579 right? And then the scriptures say, because he 00:28:02.579 --> 00:28:06.539 believed, God accounted him as what? Righteousness. 00:28:06.779 --> 00:28:09.880 Glory to God. Now Genesis 22 verse 1, everybody. 00:28:11.220 --> 00:28:13.339 Genesis 22 verse 1, we're going to have a long 00:28:13.339 --> 00:28:16.460 reading to verse 14. And it came to pass after 00:28:16.460 --> 00:28:19.819 these things that God did tempt Abraham and said 00:28:19.819 --> 00:28:22.460 unto him, Abraham, and he said, behold, here 00:28:22.460 --> 00:28:25.900 I am. Next verse. And he said, Take now thy son, 00:28:26.000 --> 00:28:27.940 thy only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get 00:28:27.940 --> 00:28:30.160 thee into the land of Moriah, and offer him there 00:28:30.160 --> 00:28:31.960 for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains, 00:28:32.200 --> 00:28:34.759 which I will tell thee of. And Abraham rose up 00:28:34.759 --> 00:28:36.940 early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and 00:28:36.940 --> 00:28:39.240 took two of his young men with him, and Isaac 00:28:39.240 --> 00:28:41.900 his son, and clave the wood for the burnt offering, 00:28:42.259 --> 00:28:44.880 and rose up, and went unto the place of which 00:28:44.880 --> 00:28:48.180 Baal had told him. Then on the third day Abraham 00:28:48.180 --> 00:28:52.880 lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off. 00:28:53.349 --> 00:28:56.410 And Abraham said unto his young men, Abide ye 00:28:56.410 --> 00:28:59.630 here with us, and I and the Lord will go yonder 00:28:59.630 --> 00:29:02.829 and worship and come again to you. And Abraham 00:29:02.829 --> 00:29:04.609 took the wood of the burned offering and laid 00:29:04.609 --> 00:29:07.029 it upon Isaac his son, and he took the fire in 00:29:07.029 --> 00:29:09.809 his hand and a knife, and they went both of them 00:29:09.809 --> 00:29:12.869 together. And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father 00:29:12.869 --> 00:29:15.890 and said, My father. And he said, Here am I, 00:29:15.990 --> 00:29:19.109 my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the 00:29:19.109 --> 00:29:21.329 wood, but where is the lamb for a burned offering? 00:29:21.660 --> 00:29:25.740 And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself 00:29:25.740 --> 00:29:31.039 a what? God will provide himself a what? A lamb 00:29:31.039 --> 00:29:33.779 for a burnt offering. So they went, brought of 00:29:33.779 --> 00:29:37.980 them together, and they came to a place. Please, 00:29:37.980 --> 00:29:39.660 if it's your Bible, underline the word, God will 00:29:39.660 --> 00:29:42.440 provide himself a lamb. And they came to a place, 00:29:42.660 --> 00:29:44.839 with God I told him, and Abraham built an altar 00:29:44.839 --> 00:29:47.039 there and laid the wood in order, and down -icing 00:29:47.039 --> 00:29:49.339 his son and laid him on the altar upon the wood. 00:29:49.660 --> 00:29:52.240 And Abraham stretched forth his hand and took 00:29:52.240 --> 00:29:55.240 the knife to slay his son. And the angel of the 00:29:55.240 --> 00:29:57.259 Lord called out the hymn of heaven and said, 00:29:57.500 --> 00:30:00.619 Abraham, Abraham. And he said, here am I. And 00:30:00.619 --> 00:30:04.059 he said, lay not thy hand upon the lad, neither 00:30:04.059 --> 00:30:07.380 do thou anything unto him. For thou, for now, 00:30:07.720 --> 00:30:10.680 I know that thou fearest God, seeing that thou 00:30:10.680 --> 00:30:14.579 hast nowhere a son, but only a son from me. And 00:30:14.579 --> 00:30:17.319 Abraham lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, 00:30:17.599 --> 00:30:22.299 behind him, a ram caught in a ticket in a ticket 00:30:22.299 --> 00:30:26.519 by his house amen don't forget Abraham said God 00:30:26.519 --> 00:30:32.000 will provide himself a what a lamb amen and Abraham 00:30:32.000 --> 00:30:34.640 went and took the ram offered him up for a brand 00:30:34.640 --> 00:30:38.599 of him instead of his what of his son 14 now 00:30:38.599 --> 00:30:42.160 and Abraham called the name of the place Jehovah 00:30:42.160 --> 00:30:46.920 what Jireh as it is said to this day in the mount 00:30:46.920 --> 00:30:51.789 of the Lord it shall be what it shall be what 00:30:51.789 --> 00:30:54.750 it shall be seen hebrews chapter 11 verse 17 00:30:54.750 --> 00:30:58.390 so we know this story everybody amen we know 00:30:58.390 --> 00:31:01.009 this story so hebrews chapter 11 so we'll know 00:31:01.009 --> 00:31:08.950 it now by revelation hebrews chapter 11 verse 00:31:08.950 --> 00:31:17.339 17 so the first question i will ask us The story 00:31:17.339 --> 00:31:21.640 we just read in Genesis, did it happen? It happened, 00:31:21.940 --> 00:31:24.619 right? Perfect, good. So let's hold that thought. 00:31:24.720 --> 00:31:29.720 It's very important now. There were certain characters 00:31:29.720 --> 00:31:33.680 in that story. Abraham was there, right? Isaac 00:31:33.680 --> 00:31:38.200 was there, right? Was God there? Yes, right? 00:31:38.799 --> 00:31:42.920 Then we now see angels. Let's add Ram. We now 00:31:42.920 --> 00:31:46.930 see Ram, right? let's add another element again 00:31:46.930 --> 00:31:52.170 we now see altar amen there was altar amen ropes 00:31:52.170 --> 00:31:56.930 knives everything was set amen good so please 00:31:56.930 --> 00:32:01.269 let's hold that thought it's important hebrews 00:32:01.269 --> 00:32:08.410 11 17 everybody by faith by faith on wednesday 00:32:08.410 --> 00:32:13.309 i said something the old testament does not the 00:32:13.309 --> 00:32:17.259 new testament does not interpret what? The Old 00:32:17.259 --> 00:32:21.160 Testament. The Old Testament gives explanation 00:32:21.160 --> 00:32:24.539 to the what? To the New Testament. So if I want 00:32:24.539 --> 00:32:28.140 to understand the New Testament, I read what? 00:32:29.039 --> 00:32:32.220 The Old Testament. Amen. So now we've read the 00:32:32.220 --> 00:32:34.720 Old Testament as the story of Abraham, right? 00:32:34.740 --> 00:32:37.980 Is it clear to you? You understand? If I want 00:32:37.980 --> 00:32:40.119 to understand the New Testament, where do I need 00:32:40.119 --> 00:32:43.799 to go? The Old Testament, right? So we have read 00:32:43.799 --> 00:32:46.720 a story about Abraham from the Old Testament. 00:32:47.059 --> 00:32:49.619 Now we want to see it in the what? In the New 00:32:49.619 --> 00:32:56.000 Testament. Amen. By faith, Abraham, when he was 00:32:56.000 --> 00:33:02.579 tried, Amen, offered up what? Isaac. And he, 00:33:02.880 --> 00:33:07.519 he that had received the promise, offered up 00:33:07.519 --> 00:33:12.279 his only what? Begotten what? Son. Amen. Next 00:33:12.279 --> 00:33:17.980 verse, of whom it was said that in Isaac shall 00:33:17.980 --> 00:33:22.000 thy seed be called. You remember we read in Genesis 00:33:22.000 --> 00:33:26.160 and he was telling God that, but you have told 00:33:26.160 --> 00:33:30.440 me that through my seed you will multiply a nation. 00:33:31.119 --> 00:33:34.619 By the way, I don't have my own seed. I only 00:33:34.619 --> 00:33:38.759 have a seed from Eliezer and God still reaffirmed 00:33:38.759 --> 00:33:41.819 to him. The nations I want to bring out of you 00:33:41.819 --> 00:33:44.640 is not through the son of the slave. Through 00:33:44.640 --> 00:33:47.940 your bowels, I will bring out a what? A seed, 00:33:48.099 --> 00:33:54.579 amen? Good, so 18, 18, 18, 18. By of whom it 00:33:54.579 --> 00:33:57.460 was said that in Isaac shall thy seed be what? 00:33:58.180 --> 00:34:01.980 Because, next now, accounting that girl was able 00:34:01.980 --> 00:34:07.420 to do what? To raise him up. Raise him up means 00:34:07.420 --> 00:34:14.269 that Abraham had slaughtered Isaac and Isaac 00:34:14.269 --> 00:34:19.949 had died in that or on that altar, right? But 00:34:19.949 --> 00:34:25.030 Abraham believed. See, you know what, Abraham? 00:34:25.449 --> 00:34:28.329 Abraham had believed God in instructions and 00:34:28.329 --> 00:34:32.590 communication so much so that he knew, or he 00:34:32.590 --> 00:34:37.070 had known that when I go and sacrifice, Isaac 00:34:37.070 --> 00:34:40.989 on that altar. I know God will do what? Will 00:34:40.989 --> 00:34:43.949 raise him up. And that is why when Isaac told 00:34:43.949 --> 00:34:48.510 him, we don't have a ram. Abraham didn't tell 00:34:48.510 --> 00:34:52.929 Isaac, don't worry. When I kill you there, God 00:34:52.929 --> 00:34:54.949 will raise you up. No, imagine now he told Isaac, 00:34:55.170 --> 00:34:58.409 I will kill you there. And God, oh, let me say 00:34:58.409 --> 00:35:00.869 it this way. We're trying to do something with 00:35:00.869 --> 00:35:08.440 God with you. Tito had no knife and no fire. 00:35:08.539 --> 00:35:12.500 He said, don't worry, my father. Last week he 00:35:12.500 --> 00:35:16.980 called him my father. He said, my father, where 00:35:16.980 --> 00:35:18.900 is the knife? I said, don't worry. I will kill 00:35:18.900 --> 00:35:24.380 you on Mount Iskele. Right? And God will bring 00:35:24.380 --> 00:35:27.920 you back. He will raise you up. The first thing 00:35:27.920 --> 00:35:36.190 Tito will remember is his mother. But Abraham 00:35:36.190 --> 00:35:41.250 knew even if I had killed Isaac there God will 00:35:41.250 --> 00:35:45.289 raise Isaac back because God had already told 00:35:45.289 --> 00:35:49.449 me it's through Isaac I will multiply the nations 00:35:49.449 --> 00:35:53.489 of what? Of the earth. Three things are happening 00:35:53.489 --> 00:35:57.250 Abraham is knowing that God will do something 00:35:57.250 --> 00:36:01.090 biologically through me and spiritually God will 00:36:01.090 --> 00:36:05.550 also do what? Something through me Do you understand? 00:36:05.909 --> 00:36:08.889 So two communications are coming to Abraham. 00:36:09.590 --> 00:36:15.230 Biologically, Abraham knew that Isaac cannot 00:36:15.230 --> 00:36:20.090 be the sole progenitor of everybody in the world. 00:36:20.329 --> 00:36:24.889 Are you the direct descendant of Isaac? No, no, 00:36:25.269 --> 00:36:29.369 no. How are you related to Isaac? Are you connected 00:36:29.369 --> 00:36:30.969 to Isaac? Is Isaac your great -great -great -great 00:36:30.969 --> 00:36:38.159 -great father? So God will have not been communicating 00:36:38.159 --> 00:36:48.400 something biological. Even if the seed of Isaac 00:36:48.400 --> 00:36:55.059 is 10 billion, is 100 billion, where are the 00:36:55.059 --> 00:37:00.059 women on earth that through them, the whole nations 00:37:00.059 --> 00:37:02.340 of the earth will be multiplied by? We don't 00:37:02.340 --> 00:37:06.480 have that. So God will not be communicating to 00:37:06.480 --> 00:37:10.460 Isaac something what? Like to Abraham something 00:37:10.460 --> 00:37:15.679 biological. However, Abraham understood that 00:37:15.679 --> 00:37:18.940 something spiritual will come out of me and that 00:37:18.940 --> 00:37:23.059 is why he will remember that accounting that 00:37:23.059 --> 00:37:27.960 God was able to raise who? To raise him up even 00:37:27.960 --> 00:37:32.699 from what? From the death, from whence? Also, 00:37:32.940 --> 00:37:37.820 He received Him in a what? In a figure. Hallelujah! 00:37:38.619 --> 00:37:44.480 So now, let's now do something. I know some of 00:37:44.480 --> 00:37:46.579 us have not gotten this now. I know we have not 00:37:46.579 --> 00:37:49.500 gotten it. Let me make it very simple so that 00:37:49.500 --> 00:37:51.860 we can understand. Because we're building on 00:37:51.860 --> 00:37:56.659 this and we'll see how God will help us. Everybody 00:37:56.659 --> 00:37:59.940 please pay attention to me. Let me reiterate 00:37:59.940 --> 00:38:04.989 what I said now. God gave Abraham promise, right? 00:38:05.389 --> 00:38:08.469 He told Abraham something, go and offer your 00:38:08.469 --> 00:38:12.469 son. Amen. Abraham believed it. You know Abraham 00:38:12.469 --> 00:38:15.309 had been believing God, right? So this instruction 00:38:15.309 --> 00:38:18.150 is not a strange instruction to him. I hope we 00:38:18.150 --> 00:38:20.969 know. Good. He told him to leave his father's 00:38:20.969 --> 00:38:25.590 house and he left. Now he's telling him to sacrifice 00:38:25.590 --> 00:38:28.369 his son. So it's not gonna be a new thing. I 00:38:28.369 --> 00:38:30.889 hope you understand. So Abraham took the child. 00:38:31.079 --> 00:38:33.260 the child asking no where are we going you say 00:38:33.260 --> 00:38:35.739 we're going to go and offer a sacrifice but we 00:38:35.739 --> 00:38:38.500 don't have a what a ram so the child has an understanding 00:38:38.500 --> 00:38:41.059 of what sacrifice is he told him don't worry 00:38:41.059 --> 00:38:43.760 god has sent us he will provide himself with 00:38:43.760 --> 00:38:48.099 what a lamp they went there right but he bound 00:38:48.099 --> 00:38:51.980 the child i can just imagine as he said no daddy 00:38:51.980 --> 00:38:56.199 you said ram why are you tying my hands right 00:38:56.199 --> 00:39:01.190 he took the knife The scripture say he was about 00:39:01.190 --> 00:39:05.710 what? Putting the knife to slaughter him. The 00:39:05.710 --> 00:39:11.110 angel said what? Don't do it. That event happened 00:39:11.110 --> 00:39:14.849 literally. But now this is the spiritual part 00:39:14.849 --> 00:39:20.250 of it now. The communication God gave to Abraham, 00:39:20.789 --> 00:39:24.789 Hebrew will now give us a revelational knowledge 00:39:24.789 --> 00:39:29.280 about it. That that communication that it is 00:39:29.280 --> 00:39:34.820 a figure hallelujah it is a what a figure it 00:39:34.820 --> 00:39:37.840 is an illustration please write it figure when 00:39:37.840 --> 00:39:44.159 we say figure a figure means illustration is 00:39:44.159 --> 00:39:52.699 the greek word parable parable parable means 00:39:52.699 --> 00:39:58.719 illustration a pattern to place something side 00:39:58.719 --> 00:40:03.619 by side. Amen. So what we are doing is that we 00:40:03.619 --> 00:40:07.380 are placing Genesis, Abraham events today and 00:40:07.380 --> 00:40:10.980 Hebrews' revelational knowledge now. Now what 00:40:10.980 --> 00:40:13.739 happened with Abraham, Hebrews call it what? 00:40:14.159 --> 00:40:17.380 A seagull. What happened? Wait, literally did 00:40:17.380 --> 00:40:20.940 Abraham kill Isaac? No, but you see Hebrews is 00:40:20.940 --> 00:40:24.539 telling us that Isaac was ushered and God raised 00:40:24.539 --> 00:40:28.260 him up. But Abraham accounted it unto God that 00:40:28.260 --> 00:40:32.739 God gave him a what? A figure of what is to come. 00:40:33.139 --> 00:40:38.260 Hallelujah! Glory to Jesus! Glory to Jesus! Genesis 00:40:38.260 --> 00:40:43.960 chapter 22 verse 2. Now everybody fast. You see 00:40:43.960 --> 00:40:45.900 what he says? And he says, take not thy son. 00:40:47.480 --> 00:40:53.530 No, no, 22 verse 12. I said, let not thy hand 00:40:53.530 --> 00:40:55.889 upon the lad, neither do thou any unto him, for 00:40:55.889 --> 00:40:59.710 I know that thou searest what? God, seeing that 00:40:59.710 --> 00:41:02.050 thou hast no withheld, can you see? Seeing that 00:41:02.050 --> 00:41:04.969 thou hast no withheld thy son, thy only son from 00:41:04.969 --> 00:41:10.929 who? From me. So what Hebrew will say is that 00:41:10.929 --> 00:41:17.730 this action is an illustration that Abraham laid 00:41:17.730 --> 00:41:23.230 his begotten son and God raised him up. Hallelujah. 00:41:24.409 --> 00:41:28.449 Amen. So now, let your mind move fast now. Let 00:41:28.449 --> 00:41:33.429 your mind move fast. Now, let's look at so that 00:41:33.429 --> 00:41:36.289 I'll put a balance to it now. Hebrews chapter 00:41:36.289 --> 00:41:42.349 11 verse 3 everybody. Hebrews 11 3. Hebrews 11 00:41:42.349 --> 00:41:45.550 3. To a faith we understand that the worlds were 00:41:45.550 --> 00:41:48.110 framed by the what? By the word of God so that 00:41:48.110 --> 00:41:50.869 the things which are seen were not made of the 00:41:50.869 --> 00:41:55.579 things Which do what? Which do appear. So the 00:41:55.579 --> 00:41:59.320 things God was communicating to Abraham, physically 00:41:59.320 --> 00:42:03.380 an event is happening, but spiritually something, 00:42:03.699 --> 00:42:07.320 an event about Christ is coming up. Hallelujah. 00:42:08.019 --> 00:42:11.619 So that the things we see are not made of the 00:42:11.619 --> 00:42:14.500 things that we do not what? We do not see. Faith. 00:42:14.880 --> 00:42:17.260 Right? And we see that is what is accounted to 00:42:17.260 --> 00:42:21.210 Abraham also. that Abraham was standing and seeing 00:42:21.210 --> 00:42:25.150 an event with his son but yet he could see that 00:42:25.150 --> 00:42:27.809 that is not what God was communicating to him. 00:42:28.230 --> 00:42:31.869 God was giving him a figo. Hallelujah. A promise 00:42:31.869 --> 00:42:36.230 of what is to come. Glory to Jesus. And then 00:42:36.230 --> 00:42:41.429 now, what do we see? Psalms 1 -1 -10 verse 4. 00:42:43.309 --> 00:42:53.630 Psalms 1 -1 -10 verse 4. The Lord has sworn and 00:42:53.630 --> 00:42:57.070 will not repent down at a priest forever after 00:42:57.070 --> 00:43:01.889 the order of what? After the order of what? Melchizedek 00:43:01.889 --> 00:43:04.570 now. Good. So hold that thought. Hebrews chapter 00:43:04.570 --> 00:43:10.849 6 verse 15. Hebrews 6 verse 15. We'll read it 00:43:10.849 --> 00:43:25.199 to 20. Go over verse 14, please. Saying, surely 00:43:25.199 --> 00:43:28.340 blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I 00:43:28.340 --> 00:43:31.699 will what? Multiply thee. Next verse. And so 00:43:31.699 --> 00:43:34.400 after he had patiently endured, he obtained the 00:43:34.400 --> 00:43:38.880 what? The promise. For men verily swear by the 00:43:38.880 --> 00:43:41.679 greater, and oath for a confirmation is to them 00:43:41.679 --> 00:43:46.030 an end of all strife, right? Wherein God willing 00:43:46.030 --> 00:43:50.210 more abundantly to show unto us, or show unto 00:43:50.210 --> 00:43:53.849 the hairs of promise, the immutability of his 00:43:53.849 --> 00:43:56.909 counsel, confirmed with by what? By an oath. 00:43:57.110 --> 00:44:00.590 Next verse. That by two immutable things, in 00:44:00.590 --> 00:44:03.730 which it was impossible for God to lie, we might 00:44:03.730 --> 00:44:07.469 have a strong consolation. Who have fled for 00:44:07.469 --> 00:44:10.190 refuge, to lay hold upon the hope set before 00:44:10.190 --> 00:44:15.050 us? Nineteen. Which hope we have, as an anchor 00:44:15.199 --> 00:44:20.579 from the soul both sure and steadfast and which 00:44:20.579 --> 00:44:25.719 entered into that within the what the veil hallelujah 00:44:25.719 --> 00:44:30.300 20 without the forerunner we did this on in our 00:44:30.300 --> 00:44:33.880 cell also people are there now without the forerunner 00:44:33.880 --> 00:44:40.079 is for us entered even who even jesus can we 00:44:40.079 --> 00:44:43.610 see that what God was swearing as a promise with 00:44:43.610 --> 00:44:46.630 an oath to Abraham he was swearing an oath with 00:44:46.630 --> 00:44:49.489 a promise to Abraham was about who? was about 00:44:49.489 --> 00:44:54.510 Jesus Christ as a forerunner even Jesus who was 00:44:54.510 --> 00:44:58.369 made as an high priest for what? forever after 00:44:58.369 --> 00:45:04.130 the order of Melchizedek hallelujah good now 00:45:04.130 --> 00:45:07.090 so now what are we getting from this place Hebrews 00:45:07.090 --> 00:45:13.340 chapter 4 verse 14 Let's quickly do this now. 00:45:15.079 --> 00:45:19.159 So what we are learning is that God spoke a promise 00:45:19.159 --> 00:45:22.579 and Hebrew will give us a teaching, a revelation 00:45:22.579 --> 00:45:26.619 of knowledge. That promise is about who? About 00:45:26.619 --> 00:45:30.539 Christ. That Christ was the one that God swore 00:45:30.539 --> 00:45:33.599 an oath with. Amen. In fact, the way the Hebrew 00:45:33.599 --> 00:45:38.300 said is that he swore the oath so that the hairs 00:45:38.300 --> 00:45:42.110 of salvation will have an anchor. they will have 00:45:42.110 --> 00:45:45.909 a consolation. Amen? And so, how did God swore 00:45:45.909 --> 00:45:50.309 the oath? God swore the oath to ensure that somebody 00:45:50.309 --> 00:45:54.869 is sacrificed. And that person that is sacrificed, 00:45:55.070 --> 00:45:58.170 the scripture called him a forerunner, who is 00:45:58.170 --> 00:46:00.929 Jesus Christ. And the scripture said he is not 00:46:00.929 --> 00:46:04.429 only a forerunner, but he is also a priest. Because 00:46:04.429 --> 00:46:07.530 there's only priests, right, that are authorized 00:46:07.530 --> 00:46:11.059 to offer what? sacrifices. But now, Jesus is 00:46:11.059 --> 00:46:13.380 not only the priest that offers sacrifice, but 00:46:13.380 --> 00:46:16.239 he is the priest that offered himself as his 00:46:16.239 --> 00:46:19.099 Lord, as his sacrifice. And that is why the scripture 00:46:19.099 --> 00:46:23.260 says, he is the one that has entered behind the 00:46:23.260 --> 00:46:27.139 veil, and has entered into the heaven. Hallelujah! 00:46:28.019 --> 00:46:30.739 Jesus, the son of God, and he said, okay look, 00:46:30.940 --> 00:46:34.159 seeing then that we have a great Lord, high priest, 00:46:34.539 --> 00:46:38.849 that is passed into what? Into heavens. Jesus, 00:46:39.030 --> 00:46:41.809 the Son of God, let us hold fast to our what? 00:46:42.570 --> 00:46:46.170 The confession, same communication. Hallelujah! 00:46:47.469 --> 00:46:51.510 Hebrews 5 verse 5 to 6. Let's read these scriptures 00:46:51.510 --> 00:46:54.170 because it will just help us in the things that 00:46:54.170 --> 00:46:56.329 we will just establish on Wednesday. I think 00:46:56.329 --> 00:47:01.130 we'll call this a threshold for this. Hebrews 00:47:01.130 --> 00:47:06.840 5 verse, Hebrews 4. What am I saying? Hebrews 00:47:06.840 --> 00:47:10.320 5 years by 5 to 6. So also Christ glorified not 00:47:10.320 --> 00:47:13.260 himself to be made a high priest, but he that 00:47:13.260 --> 00:47:17.000 said unto him, Thou art my son, today have I 00:47:17.000 --> 00:47:21.940 what? Begotten thee. And as he said also in another 00:47:21.940 --> 00:47:24.480 place, thou art a priest forever after the order 00:47:24.480 --> 00:47:31.639 of what? Melchizedek. Next verse now. Nine verse 00:47:31.639 --> 00:47:37.719 11 to 12. Nine verse 11 to 12. Hebrews 9 verse 00:47:37.719 --> 00:47:41.079 11 to 12 but Christ being calm and high priest 00:47:41.079 --> 00:47:43.679 of good things to come by a greater and more 00:47:43.679 --> 00:47:45.960 perfect tabernacle not made with hands that is 00:47:45.960 --> 00:47:49.320 to say not of what? Not of this building neither 00:47:49.320 --> 00:47:51.519 by the blood of goats and calves but by his own 00:47:51.519 --> 00:47:56.760 blood he entered into once into the holy place 00:47:56.760 --> 00:47:59.119 having obtained eternal redemption for what? 00:48:00.039 --> 00:48:08.679 For us verse 26 fast verse 26 For then must he 00:48:08.679 --> 00:48:11.239 often have suffered since the foundation of the 00:48:11.239 --> 00:48:14.880 world, but now once in the end of the world hath 00:48:14.880 --> 00:48:17.960 he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice 00:48:17.960 --> 00:48:20.760 of what? Of himself. Don't forget Matthew chapter 00:48:20.760 --> 00:48:23.840 1, he says, his name shall be called Jesus, for 00:48:23.840 --> 00:48:26.699 he shall accomplish a task, and the task is that 00:48:26.699 --> 00:48:29.659 he shall save what? His people from their what? 00:48:30.019 --> 00:48:32.659 From their sins. Next verse now. Let's quickly 00:48:32.659 --> 00:48:37.619 hold this. Romans 8 verse 34. Romans 8 verse 00:48:37.619 --> 00:48:46.239 34. Romans 8 verse 34. Who is he that condemneth? 00:48:46.880 --> 00:48:50.159 It is Christ that what? That died. Here rather, 00:48:50.559 --> 00:48:53.519 that it is he that rise again. Who is even at 00:48:53.519 --> 00:48:56.000 the right hand of God, who also maketh what? 00:48:56.760 --> 00:49:05.519 Intercession for us. 8 verse 1. 8 verse 1. 8 00:49:05.519 --> 00:49:10.400 verse 1. There is therefore now no condemnation 00:49:10.400 --> 00:49:13.599 to them who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not 00:49:13.599 --> 00:49:17.320 after the flesh, but after the what? The spirit. 00:49:17.539 --> 00:49:24.320 10 verse 12. Now, Romans 10 verse 12. For there 00:49:24.320 --> 00:49:27.519 is no difference between the Jew and the Greek. 00:49:28.019 --> 00:49:31.179 For the same Lord over all is rich unto how many? 00:49:31.809 --> 00:49:36.550 Unto all that call what upon him. Hallelujah 00:49:36.550 --> 00:49:41.110 Glory to Jesus. Glory to Jesus. Glory to Jesus 00:49:41.110 --> 00:49:44.269 So what are we seeing from here? What we are 00:49:44.269 --> 00:49:47.909 seeing is that the promise that God gave to Abraham 00:49:47.909 --> 00:49:51.309 is a promise Let me put it this way now. It's 00:49:51.309 --> 00:49:54.369 an inclusion promise Do you know what I just 00:49:54.369 --> 00:49:58.309 said? It's an what? It's an inclusive promise 00:49:58.309 --> 00:50:02.780 for the whole nations of the earth that through 00:50:02.780 --> 00:50:07.119 Jesus, right, that the whole nations of the earth 00:50:07.119 --> 00:50:11.900 will be what? Will be saved. Through Christ, 00:50:12.179 --> 00:50:16.000 salvation will come to all. No Jew, no Greek, 00:50:16.340 --> 00:50:20.920 no Gentile, no male, no female. Hallelujah. And 00:50:20.920 --> 00:50:23.739 how is God going to achieve this? Write this 00:50:23.739 --> 00:50:27.199 down. God is achieving this through the resurrection 00:50:27.199 --> 00:50:34.570 of Jesus. He is achieving it through the resurrection 00:50:34.570 --> 00:50:37.710 of Jesus or he has achieved it. First that's 00:50:37.710 --> 00:50:39.909 happened. He has achieved it through the what? 00:50:40.750 --> 00:50:47.329 The resurrection of Jesus. And also how did Abraham 00:50:47.329 --> 00:50:50.710 receive the promise? The scripture says he patiently 00:50:50.710 --> 00:50:53.869 waited for the promise. Abraham received the 00:50:53.869 --> 00:50:57.010 promise or he obtained the promise what? Through 00:50:57.010 --> 00:51:07.980 the resurrection of Jesus. So what are we saying 00:51:07.980 --> 00:51:11.280 in essence? That what God preached to Abraham, 00:51:11.820 --> 00:51:16.199 he preached the gospel. Hallelujah. Amen. If 00:51:16.199 --> 00:51:17.840 you are writing, write it there. We'll just hold 00:51:17.840 --> 00:51:20.880 the thoughts there. That what God preached to 00:51:20.880 --> 00:51:24.360 Abraham, he preached the what? He preached the 00:51:24.360 --> 00:51:28.980 gospel. So how is that called the gospel? Galatians 00:51:28.980 --> 00:51:35.150 chapter 3 verse 8. Galatians chapter 3 verse 00:51:35.150 --> 00:51:42.769 8. How is that called the gospel? The resurrection 00:51:42.769 --> 00:51:47.309 of Jesus Galatians chapter 3 verse 8. Everybody 00:51:47.309 --> 00:51:50.670 let's read together and the scripture wants to 00:51:50.670 --> 00:51:54.769 go and the scripture yes foreseeing that God 00:51:54.769 --> 00:52:00.929 will do what will justify unbelievers amen. Through 00:52:00.929 --> 00:52:06.710 what? What did he do? Preach before, right? The 00:52:06.710 --> 00:52:11.250 gospel unto who? Abraham. Where we read, did 00:52:11.250 --> 00:52:15.050 it sound like gospel? What God told Abraham is 00:52:15.050 --> 00:52:18.289 sacrifice your son. But what we are learning 00:52:18.289 --> 00:52:21.409 now in Epistos by Revelation now is that that 00:52:21.409 --> 00:52:25.570 event is called what? The gospel. Preach the 00:52:25.570 --> 00:52:31.530 gospel unto Abraham saying indeed shall all nations 00:52:31.530 --> 00:52:35.570 of the earth be what? be blessed. Let me summarize 00:52:35.570 --> 00:52:37.289 it this way now so that we can hold the thought. 00:52:38.090 --> 00:52:41.670 The word indeed shall all the nations of the 00:52:41.670 --> 00:52:45.309 earth be blessed is that indeed shall all the 00:52:45.309 --> 00:52:47.989 nations of the earth receive the remission of 00:52:47.989 --> 00:52:51.369 all their sins. Do you know what I just said? 00:52:52.309 --> 00:52:55.889 Indeed shall all the nations of the earth be 00:52:55.889 --> 00:52:59.670 saved through faith. That's the blessing. You 00:52:59.670 --> 00:53:05.110 know Abraham blessings are mine. Abraham blessings 00:53:05.110 --> 00:53:08.929 are mine. I am blessed in the morning, in the 00:53:08.929 --> 00:53:13.190 noon, in the evening. Abraham blessings are mine. 00:53:13.789 --> 00:53:18.829 That blessing is not money blessing. During Abraham's 00:53:18.829 --> 00:53:24.530 time, he was not on the Forbes list. Amen. The 00:53:24.530 --> 00:53:30.210 blessing that Abraham received is the blessing 00:53:30.210 --> 00:53:35.230 of the forgiveness of what? of sins is the blessing 00:53:35.230 --> 00:53:39.150 that all the nations of the earth will be saved 00:53:39.150 --> 00:53:44.210 is the blessing amen that through Jesus Christ 00:53:44.210 --> 00:53:47.849 all the nations of the earth will have what eternal 00:53:47.849 --> 00:53:52.309 life glory to Jesus hallelujah amen so you see 00:53:52.309 --> 00:53:56.090 we do start now everything that we're gonna do 00:53:56.090 --> 00:54:02.119 on Wednesday and ends on this topic for now Amen? 00:54:03.260 --> 00:54:06.260 It's gonna make, I believe, by the help of the 00:54:06.260 --> 00:54:09.840 Holy Spirit, that it's gonna place us at a place 00:54:09.840 --> 00:54:14.500 where not only to do greater works, right? But 00:54:14.500 --> 00:54:17.920 to move around, preaching the gospel by faith. 00:54:18.619 --> 00:54:22.440 Amen? Please, don't forget, we stop at God's, 00:54:22.440 --> 00:54:26.380 preach the what? The gospel. We preach the gospel, 00:54:27.500 --> 00:54:30.320 not only with faith, but with an understanding 00:54:30.320 --> 00:54:34.900 that we have power, right, of Jesus Christ.
