God Has Glorified Himself In Me - Pastor Chris Oyakhilome (PhD, DD)
The Mystery of Christ
Session 2, Phase 2, Day 4
They know what they're doing and the disasters us effect. To think that the world is under the control of such individuals and their deceptions. A lying tongue is for a season. So for those who are troubled. Don't disparity. Don't be afraid that's exactly what they want. There are countries and cities and states where masks are mandated in their cars and homes. Don't dis pair. It came to pass. This will be history. Don't be afraid of them. Don't despair.
They want you to forget about the future. Many have stopped planning for the future. They're afraid. Is like the clock of your plan and life just stopped. And they are saying they have a plan for your future. Only God has a plan for your future. He said I know the plans I have for you. Don't disparity. Don't let your heart shake.
You're beginning to discover the hearts of many people, the character of certain leaders that it may be manifest for you to see and what to believe. It's a short time before Jesus comes. Now you're discovering the traitors, liars, etc.
So be strong and courageous. Don't give in. The more you look depressed the happier they are. Don't be depress. In the New Testament God reminded us of the days of Elijah... Like us, he felt what we feel. Then he said.. He prayed earnestly... If we will pray, the same God that heard Elijah will hear us. I'm full of joy. I'm excited. There's a living God who hears and answers prayers. Trust in him.
Worship Him right now... Thank Him for His grace and love...
Song... Jesus, Jesus, Jesus... There's something about your name...
Something about the name of Jesus... Kings and kingdoms shall pass away but He reigns forever...
Let's talk about a few things... Our Lord is gracious and kind. We're talking about the mystery of Christ.
His real purpose... It helps you to know what He actually accomplished. Did He achieve His purpose? Did He win or is He in the process of getting it done. Three occasions.
Jesus said Father I've finished the work you gave me
On the cross, Jesus said its finished
He ascended and is seated at the right hand of God. You didn't seat until it's done. He's seating and waiting till his enermies are made his footstool.
He completed the task. He did it. He said it to the Father that it's done. So if Jesus came for a purpose and did it, we should know how it concerns us and how it was done. The problem is that most people didn't know what he ca,e to do. Many say he came to die for us. Others say he came to save us from our sins. Really? It's a failure because you're still sinning... He came to do much more than that... It was a means to an end. Nobody knew what he came to do... The kingdom is like a man that saw a treasure in the field, sold everything and bought the field.
He saw a treasure and hid himself and bought the field. He was looking for the treasure. Will you go and tell people? No, you buy the field and get the treasure... They prophesied and said a lot about the field and didn't know anything about the treasure...
Ephesians
Satan didn't have a clue... Remember he spoke to Peter... He didn't know what he wanted. They put him in the situation and wanted to kill him. Then it was too late to let him go. They expected Him to defended Himself out ahe kept quiet. Pilate almost let Him go. Jesus was quiet... Pilates wife warned Him to be careful... Then Jesus answered that Pilate didn't have power over me or to set me free. I don't blame you but those that brought me...
Then the soldiers were happy to see blood come out... He carried His cross as they whipped Him. They got to the gate... He crosses and fails down... They got a man to carry the cross. Something significant. From there they headed to Golgotha. Take it easy...
Colossians 1:26
Similar to Ephesians 3:5 he tells us that not just apostles and prophets but the saints, the church... Even the Gentiles, this mystery is made known to them. It's even more significant to them. Christ in you, the hope of glory is the real mystery. Christ inside you.
Ephesians 3:14-17
According to the riches in glory... Colossians 1:27... To be invigorated with might, miracle working abilities. Supernatural powers inside you. We get invigorated. I'm praying for you.... Paul already understood this. It's by His spirit in your inner man. The spirit of God inside. By the Holy Ghost in your inner man to invigorate you. You're invigorated. You're full of power. Strengthened by supernatural ability. That Christ may dwell in your heart... He's already there...
Galatians 4:19
My dear ones, they're like children, of who a travail in you until Christ be formed in you. They've been swayed by different leaders. Who has bewitched you. He's interceding that they work in Christ... That Christ is in you and is revealed through you. This is His purpose. I'll bring you back here... Step by step...
Ephesians 3:17
Some pastors have already forgotten that they have the Holy Spirit. They're speaking like the world. Like us to follow... Jelly fishes... Did you ever read your bible... Rooted and grounded in love may be able to... And to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge... That you might be filled with all the fullness of God. That ye (individual) will be filled with the fullness of God. This was the life Paul knew. It's not an act of faith. He didn't do it by faith. This was the life. Knowledge at work.
Look it like this... Imagine... That you have a bite from a child... And your cry... You're not angry, you just reacted... Someone saw it happen and you're about to leave and someone say... I saw the child bit you... Did you know the child had hiv... Suddenly, you're thinking what you're going to do.... No, no, no, that's not what you should do... Nepios... If you have the knowledge of God, you recognize what you have inside...
Look at the. Actions holed up in their homes. We saw their fears... Scared... Some are still like that... Scared to death. Paralyzed. Scare of death. So afraid to die... How life matters to them. Great men... Pray that God give our nations to great and inspiring great men. What we have are scared men. I read my bible and see great and tough leaders, to see what's happening now... Men people looked up and waiting for vaccines... Is that how small you are... They heard it killed so and so... In parliaments, palaces and governments... Even ministers of God an
Re pleading with government to shut down...
You have names like pastors, apostles, etc.... Why do you have those names and answers... Those names are reserved to those who have the power of God. I'm telling you why Jesus came. Read your bible. You were even told that most people that get the virus are cured and most don't even get sick... Paul was bitten by a snake with poisonous stuff and he shook it off.... How to know those that believe and others... These signs shall follow them... They shall drink poisonous thinks and not be hurt... Start learning now... Tougher days and future are coming... We've seen the weakness of leaders. They're so paralyzed by the invisible enemy. One president even called out the army... Killed people and not the virus...
Ephesians 3:19
Be filled with all the fullness of God. This is what God wants. If you've received the Holy Spirit, you've got the potentials... Let the spirit of God surge through you... You're always stirred in the Holy Ghost. You don't need a new anointing. It's not coming from anywhere... No double dose when you already have the full dose. It's not true, it doesn't happen. You can't get another. The Holy Ghost is the anointing. That's the anointing with the full measure of God.
If you have a solution that settles.... Stir it up and all the suspensions come up... That's what happens when you're stirred up in the holy ghost. It's a language of the spirit to utter things your mind can't fathom. You're charged with the power of God. That's what you've got to do. There will be no chance for fear. No place for sickness or infection or anything... If that same spirit that raised Jesus from the dead dwells and lives in you...
Romans 8:11
Vitalised your mortal bodies... Every one of us... By His spirit that dwells in you. We don't live by blood. We live by the spirit...mine mine mine... You live by the Holy Ghost. This is the difference between you and your neighbor without the Holy Ghost. If it's mere theory, you'll be afraid.... The prince of this world came and had nothing in me. You attract Satan by your fear... I have no fear, Satan has nothing in me. Listen... I've been preaching this for a long time... This has been my life... It's God's truth. This is the way to live...
Ephesians 3:19-20
To know the love of Christ that surpasses mental ability... That you might be filled with all the fullness of God... According to the power that works in you to do what He wants to do... It won't be done from heaven. The answer is in you... Out of your belly shall flow the rivers of living waters... Bring forth good things... Oh boy...
You've got to get this...
Ephesians 3:21
Be glory in the church... Father I've glorified you in the earth... We glorify your name in all the earth... Your life will take a new meaning... Throughout all ages... Are you signed up for this... Be militant... Father I'll bring you glory...
John 17:22
I have given them the glory (that's us). The glory we have is the glory of Jesus.
1 Peter 1:21
God gave Jesus the glory that He has given us. Jesus gave us glory. Romans 8:29-30. We were predestinated. We were called. We were justified. We were glorified. I work in glory. God has glorified Himself in me. You can't shame me. It's impossible. I'm a gloried man. Honor, beauty glory.
Many want to do something to get what God has given them. We've received this freely from Him.
John 15:24-25
Jesus said they hated both me and my Father. Hated me without a cause. Dorian... They hated me needlessly. Without a cause. There was no cause for their hatred. I did nothing wrong to deserve it. Underserved hatred. They just hated me though I did good. So God responded with His own character...
Romans 3:24
Unmerited favor. Being justified freely... My spirit is loaded...the language is a blessing itself... Whom God has sent forth to be a propitiation... Set forth... This table has been set... Prepared... Propitiation is the place of expectation, the mercy seat. The top table of the Ark over the golden cherubim where God comes over the mercy seat... Moses heard the voice of God over the mercy seat... Elasterion... Jesus is the mercy seat... Seventy people that translated that in seventy days.... Jesus is our mercy seat whom God has set forth...
This is really really huge... Jesus... Jesus played an amazing role here... Jesus is the tabernacle and the high priest and brings in two goats... One for the sacrificial lamp... Day of atonement and the second is the scape goat... Jesus is also the goat for the offering and Jesus is the scape goat... The blood is taken to the holy of hollies and Jesus is the mercy seat... And comes out and takes the scape goat...
Temple
High priest
Goat of the offering
Scape goat
Mercy seat (azazil) taken into the wilderness and let go... Confesses all the sins of the people and the nation and taken away as the sin bearer.... After John the Baptist saw Jesus, he called Jesus the sin bearer... He carried away the sin of the people... There are stuff John told us at the death of Jesus because he was right there... When Jesus was at the cross, He cried out "
I thirst" and they brought vinegar... Stirring moments while He was at the cross.... My God my God, why has thou forsaken me... He was made sin who knew no sin.... The scape goat was still a goat until the high priest confesses the sin... Jesus went to the wilderness after John laid hands on Him... Jesus suffered outside the gate...
Get up let's go from here...
John 18:1-
After judas left to betray Jesus.. When Ahitophel betrayed David, David went over the brook... David came back what you call a resurrection... Something about the brook...
John 2:19-23
He spake of the temple of His body... John 19:34- he that saw it bear record... John says the Roman soldier pierced him with the sword...once Jesus said it is finished many things happened that made the soldiers to confess that this is the son of God. They broke the legs of the thieves. To be sure, they pierced Him and blood and water came out, his heart had raptured.
All the time, John had been trying to tell us who Jesus was. Every time they came across the brook, they saw blood and water coming out of the temple from the sacrifices... Jesus is truly the temple of God. This is the temple of God.
Hebrews 9:11-12
Perfect tabernacle. Obtained eternal redemption for us. Thanks be unto God. Oh glory to Jesus forever...
John 15:1-6
He's preparing for His death... I am the vine, you are the branches... This is that night. He's not just talking... He's discussing vital information they will need. I'm the vine and you're the branches... What could have been going through the minds of the disciples. The Apostles, up to a chapter 15 of Acts, didn't understand the church. We have the same life with Jesus. It's still so huge and so powerful. If Jesus did so much, why should we live in fear. We have a new life. The life and nature of God working in us now. Come to this awareness. The life you have now... If any man be in Christ, he's a new type of being, the world can't destroy you....
Salvation call...
