I'm Tough, I'm A Soldier. There's No General Without A War - Pastor Chris Oyakhilome (DSc., DD).
The Mystery Of The Word, The Mystery Of The Spirit
Season 2, Phase 3, Day 3
Song... All other gods... They are the works of men...
Pastor reminded us of the prophesy he made in December 2019. He told the story of the capture of the ark of God. How the captors hurriedly sent back the ark of God away from their borders... It's just a short time. Short time. But a short time. The bible says that when the cloud be full of rain, they empty themself. Something is happening in the true church of God. God is separating the true church. This is just one phase of it.
God's word is unshakable. It can't be destroyed. It can't be destroyed. During this period, we've led a lot more people to Christ than many realized. The word of God has gone further.... Make no mistake about it, we've lost nothing... We've made gains in the kingdom of God. No losses. You see, gain of any kind is not necessarily godliness, even when you're leading people to Christ, it doesn't mean you're a Christian.
God doesn't use force. That's not how he does his things. He uses his word. He fulfills his aions with his rhema. What's happening is revealing the world we've been living. God is showing them to you so that you can know. Many leaders are regretting for the falsehood but don't know what to do.
Daniel 11:1- ESV.
The angel brought message to Daniel on how things are going to unfold. Note the fourth King that will be richer and stir up all against the kingdom of Greece. See what he did with his riches. There's something about financial power. That's why the rich don't want to poor to get rich. They no longer think about their riches but want political power at certain times. It's not enough for him that he is richer than all but stirs up the others...
They all came to pass. All the three of them... Persia fell, Greece fail, Rome came after them... They all came to pass and they've passed. All these waste of time will pass and will pass quickly. Trouble is that it has wasted many lives and won't pass without costing some things. God's people, have no fears, don't be afraid. Stop listening to their news.
It's becoming more and more difficult to believe them in anything. They caused it. Back and forth. Not trusted, they don't deserve to be trusted. They get angry and cry, but can't be trusted. So have no fears whatsoever. Our faith is in the word of God that's trusted and dependable and will never fail and no one that trusts God becomes ashamed of his trust and faith in God. Will never happen.
We're building our faith strong. The church in general took their eyes off the goal and that's why all these happened with very little warning. Many were unprepared and some even beloved that this is their chance and they're working with government authorities that are misled against the church. There will be, mark my word, there will be a punishment for all those responsible for all these. There will be. And you that's been a collaborator will be punished with them. You'll see it. Let me read something to you so that you'll understand.
Revelation 11:18
Destroy them that destroyed the earth. This is the final judgement before the white throne judgement, these are judgement times in a cycle and people are visited with the judgement up to the fourth generation. It's coming. When you know that you've been deceived, stop at the point of discovery and stand for the truth. Now that you've discovered, stand for the truth as government official. There are people dying by your misjudgment and actions. The blood of the dead speaks. It has a voice. Murderers never go free. You can't kill and hide the killed. No, you must suffer. That's what the word says.
You set something in order that never leave your family until the punishment is settled.
Welcome to today's programme.
Hallelujah. Alright...
Yesterday I shared a lot with you. Pick of those as a reminder. This is day three of the Mystery of the word, part of the mystery of Christ. Jesus is the living word. Understand something in Gods plan.
He showed us from the bible that from heaven, he speaks his word and it's heard on the earth effectively. It's heard by his spirit. The father never leaves the throne. The Holy Spirit is the spirit of God. He carries out everything the father wants... The voice of God walked in the garden. The father is always on the throne.
Theophanies are manifestations of the spirit of God, the works of the Holy Ghost. They appear like men, a man wrestled with Jacob... Pastor narrated the story... The man came and wrestled with Jacob, it turned out to be the Lord. Read Joshua, something happened. A man appeared before Joshua, it turned out to be the captain of the Lord's army and told him to surrender and take his foot off.... It was another expression as the angel of the Lord. Abraham also saw three men... It was the Lord and two angels that seemed like angels... Entertain strangers because some are angels...
All these is the spirit of the Lord, the Holy Spirit... There's a beautiful expression of him...
Isaiah 63:9-14
The Angel of His Presence. That's the term. The Angel of his Presence. The Holy Spirit carries the presence of the father. Let's see what he did here... The angel of his presence save them, redeemed them, bite them and carried them... They rebelled and the Holy Spirit fought against them.... The spirit of the Lord caused him to rest... How he took the. Through the sea... The presence of God with them was the Holy Spirit. He was the cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night. He was the one that parted the Red Sea... He knows the mind, plans, purpose of God. He takes God's plan, word... Oh boy...
How of this can I tell you... What should I tell you? Pastor T.T said all.... The mystery of Christ.... What's on His mind? It's amazing... He was so tender with the children of Israel... He didn't hurry them but waited for even the youngest....
Think about this... Christ, what was on God's mind? How that the Holy Spirit always wanted to be with us... His desire... The tabernacle of God was always with man. He wanted to be in separately with us... We are not talking of anyone but the Holy Spirit of the Almighty God. In Christ, He came to live with us. Oh dear...
So, just explaining to you... The word and the voice... Without the voice, the word cannot lead you to the place of his dream. Get it again, the word can be in your heart and you believe it, but without the voice... God's word has no power until it is spoken. I'll show you, relax.
You can meditate on the word, but, until you speak... Meditation in three phases, you've got to come to the point of talking it. It's in the word... You've been reading it... Let me begin by reading it to you...
Hebrews 13:5-7
For he hath said... I'll never leave thee nor forsake you so that we may boldly say... The purpose of God talking is for us to say... So that we may boldly say (not recite) the Lord is my helper and I will never fear what shall man do unto me... He's not trying to get you to recite David but for you to respond your way. Look at it again...dont lost after other people's stuff, God is so big He can get you anything...
Your confession has to be bold. Say it in agreement with God. Take that word and respond to God. Say it. Say what He's said concerning you. Yes, I am of God, I've overcome because greater is the one in me. Take it and make it yours. Catalambano...
The logos of God and the voice of God. Using God's thoughts, plans and speak them into your future. You're anointed by God, our words are His words, not ours.
Romans 10:6-
I'm thinking in my mind...amazing grace... Too wonderful that God will love us so and bless us like this... The righteousness of faith speaketh on this wise... Say not in thine heart, who shall ascend into heaven... Paul is showing us the spirituality of the prophetic revelation of Moses and the men of God... This was of prophetic revelation...
Deuteronomy 30:12
Encouraging and warning them about the commandment... It is not in heaven that you will say, who will go to heaven to bring it to us... That we may hear it and do it.... I showed you how God spoke from heaven and they heard him in the fire... It's not in the sea so that you will say who will go across the sea to bring it so that we may hear it and do it... Know the direction of the speaker or writer...
But the word... The commandment is the word.... Is very neigh unto thee in thine heart and in your mouth. The logos in your heart and the voice in your mouth to speak. You've got to have the Holy Spirit because it's the voice of God... That's why some will say be healed and nothing happens and another says it and it happens... It's not the speech but the power... That's why by the spirit of God I can say something and it happens over the world...
Romans 10:6-10
The word, the commandment is Christ... That's what Paul called Him. That commandment was Christ but they didn't understand. About going across to bring Christ up again from the dead... The word of faith we preach is in thine heart and mouth... The amazing word of salvation... Confession with the mouth and believing in the heart, thou shall be saved. If it stops with believing, you'll never enjoy salvation, but with the mouth, confession is made unto salvation. Speak the same in agreement with God.
He told you in verse nine... Confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord of your life, once you declare that and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead... You're saved...
This is the beautiful thing... The word is in your mouth. Yiure now voicing God's word. You've got to understand it. God puts his word of salvation, power and life.... The word of faith that we preach... It's so near you that it is actually in your mouth and in your heart. This is great... Mine mine mine... A few scriptures in the ministry of the Holy Ghost...
The Mystery Of The Spirit
1 Corinthians 12:1-
Concerning the spiritual, brethren, I will not have you ignorant.... No man can say that Jesus is the Lord except by the Holy Spirit. It's the Holy Ghost that puts that word in your mouth... When you hear the word of God, the word of hearing, it's God ministering to you, causing you to believe... Faith comes by hearing... You will never make up your mind to serve God except by the Holy Ghost.
Matthew 16:16-17
It's only by my father who is in heaven. Jesus is revealing something... He's revealing the Holy Ghost that ministers to only Him. The ministry of the Holy Ghost hadn't come yet. Jesus will have to tell them directly... If Jesus didn't spoke, you couldn't hear the Holy Spirit directly. That's why Jesus said that it was His Father in heaven that revealed that to Peter.
John 6:44,65
Except the Father draws you... How important this is... They heard Jesus but the couldn't take his word or understand. John 12:37-40... The miracles were not enough to convince them. Amongst many chief rulers, many believed because the Holy Spirit ministered to them... Alright...
Without the Holy Spirit, Jesus would have to speak directly for something to happen. God's plan... In Isaiah 52:10-13... God had a plan for all nations for their salvation...
There's a prophesy that shows God's plan...
Joel 2:28- Joel 3:1 the complete Jewish bible...
Pour out His Spirit upon all flesh... Upon all humanity... On all humanity... Did you know that God did it? Why did He have to do it?
Acts 2:1-19
A sound from heaven as a rushing mighty wind... They were all filled with the Holy Ghost... All Jews out of every nation on the earth... Mockers are always there... Something so powerful and significant... This was spoken by the prophet Joel... The last days is about a calendar... Prophetic about the days and all that was going to happen at the ending times.... The last days... Peter is saying that this prophecy has happened. It's here. This is that that was spoken by prophet Joel... He knew by the Holy Ghost and by the spirit of God. Hallelujah. Not all sons and daughters but your sons and daughters... God will pour his spirit so that every human being will have the opportunity and capacity to believe... It was different from the days of Jesus when they couldn't believe... Peter preached and three and five thousand believed.
Thanks be unto God. Amazing reality.... Without the Holy Spirit, there will be no Christ. Christ means the anointed One with the spirit without measure. He's anointed with the seven spirits of God. He has the fullness of God. Hallelujah. Thank you Jesus...
2 Corinthians 3:1-5
Our sufficiency is of God. Do you realize that you're an epistle written in our hearts... Get to where the word will cause you to shout about the gospel. You are the epistle of Christ... Openly exhibited. Everywhere you go, you're manifestly declared the living epistle of Christ... They know not, neither will they understand... Ye are gods...
One of the problems of preachers is that many don't have time for word. It's not about preaching it... It's got to come through your spirit otherwise you'll struggle... He's supposed to be bearing you on eagles wings...
There are many who believe they have the gifts of righteousness, but, do they? If you don't understand what the word says, you'll be trying to follow the word and obey like the Old Testament but you're manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ...
Pastor told the story about the 1980s and singing "let the redeemed of the Lord say so..." You're the result of the redemption... God gave the gift of righteousness to the sinners... Three Cardinal gifts of God
Eternal life... That's the gospel... Christ is your life and you're born again.
The gift of righteousness to approach God... God is not counting their sins against them... They which received that gift shall reign in life. So you're born in righteousness like Adam waking up on the sabbath when God had finished everything. You're with righteousness and eternal life...
Same with the Holy Spirit. You're in the kingdom.
We have gone quite far... This is huge. Meditate on it. There's a lot you can do. Prophecy is the word of God. With it, make war like a soldier. You're a soldier, tough for God. Unmovable. I'm tough. I'm a soldier. I'm a soldier. When it's time to pray, I do. I represent the heavenly kingdom. I prophecy to nations of the world. You can't just keep quiet. You're tough. Engage in the warfare. You've got to engage. Strategy of the heavenlies. Speak and there is a heavenly army that go to work. This is the way we go to war. We are not helpless. We're not confused. We're excited at the challenge, we got to put things to walk. Without war, how can you become a general? Hard tough times hardens you, you don't chicken out. We don't war after the flesh. Are weapons are mighty through God to the tearing down of strongholds. We are roaring and are aware of satanic operations...
I'm aware about satanism and occultism.... They were defeated before they started, they are deceived by Satan...they do a lot when the church is ignorant... The church is not that way again. Pastor talked about the Spanish flu... Who per used the data... They've been lying all the time... Can we subject the data to scrutiny... I've put away childish things... It's like when we were watching when they were scrolling countries I know that they didn't have representatives in those countries... He that seated in the heavens shall laugh.... This has been subdued by the power of God...
We've got tomorrow and Friday and so much will take place... Thank God... Thank God... Hallelujah... Blessed be the Lord... Thank you lord Jesus...
Pray where you are... Thank Him for His word. Thank Him for His love...
