Welcome to NECF sermons. Each message here is

designed to uplift and strengthen you in your

walk with God. Don't miss out. Stay with us until

the end for a rewarding experience. Let's dive

right in. Hallelujah. Praise God. Galatians chapter

Galatians 3:8

3 verse 8. Galatians chapter 3 verse 8. Galatians

Galatians 3:8 Galatians 3:8

chapter 3 verse 8. And we say, And the scripture

foreseeing that God will justify the hearing

through what? Through faith preached before the

gospel, right? Unto Abraham saying, Indeed, shall

all the nations be what? Be blessed. Hallelujah.

So what God told Abraham that we read in Genesis

Genesis 12 · chapter mention

chapter 12, Genesis 14, Genesis 17. The scripture

calls that what? The gospel. Hallelujah. And

the scripture didn't only call that the gospel,

but the scripture says that what? That the hidden

will be justified through that. Hallelujah. And

that in itself, it says, in thee shall all the

nations be what? Be blessed. The hidden being

justified, all nations being blessed, is called

the what? The gospel. And then we now also learned

about The giving or the sacrifice that Abraham,

God spoke to Abraham in Genesis 22. Amen. And

then to go offer Isaac. Hallelujah. And then

we learn in Hebrew that Hebrews will bring a

revelational knowledge to us saying that that

was about Christ. Praise God. So all the events

that we've been learning so far about the name

of Jesus, we are learning now, we are coming

at this place where we see that is found in what?

In resurrection, because the communications of

Jesus in Matthew 28, Luke 24, in Mark, in John,

all those communications were communications

after the resurrection. Amen. So he will tell

them that go into the whole nations of the earth

and preach in my name. Hallelujah. And we say

that in my name, figuratively, onoma means what?

Authority, office, function, right? And then

etc. So what we are saying now is that what Christ,

was giving or what Christ was communicating,

he was communicating his what? His resurrection.

In Luke 24, the scripture says that ought not

the, what the prophets have spoken, sorry, ought

not Christ to have what? To suffer and enter

into his glory, right? And then another place

in 44, Luke 24, 44, 45, it says, for it behooved

Christ, right? To suffer, to die, right? To be

buried and to be raised, the what? The third

day. Hallelujah. And this is fulfilled what the

promise or what the scriptures have spoken. Praise

God. So now, all these things that we are saying,

right, is about, I remember saying something

that all that we've been learning, we have never

seen where we see the emphasis on the humanity

of Jesus only. His giving of birth. Hallelujah.

But rather, we see the revelation behind the

communication about Christ, His dead burial and

what? His resurrection. Hallelujah. So, the name

of Jesus, right, is a product of his what? Resurrection.

Hallelujah. He's a product of his what? Resurrection.

Prior to now, we've not had Jesus, right? All

we see that he will do with his disciples that

we'll learn, the scripture will say that, and

he called his disciples to himself and gave them

power. Amen? When he was alive, the scripture

will tell us that, can we just go to, I think

Luke chapter... It's not in study, but let's

look at it because I mentioned it now. Is it

Luke chapter 10? Matthew 10, right? Okay, I'm

Luke 10 · chapter mention

mixing it. Matthew 10. Help us, give us Matthew

10. Matthew 10. I think Luke has his own rendition

to Matthew 10. Give us, please. Very fast. And

when he called his 12 disciples, he gave them

what? He gave them power against unclean spirit

to cast them out. and to heal all manner of sicknesses

and all manner of disease. Can you see? Now,

the names of the twelve apostles were these,

the first Simon, da -da -da -da -da -da. There

are five now. Go to five. These twelve, Jesus

sent forth and commanded them, saying, Go not

into the way of the Gentiles and into any seed

of Samaritans, enter ye not, but go rather the

lost sheep of the house of Israel, as ye go.

Do what? So, prior to now, before Jesus' resurrection,

what will we see? he will do with his disciples

is that he will call them and give them what?

Power. You will never see before resurrection,

Jesus giving people say, go and heal, go and

preach in my name. Hallelujah. However, there

was another situation from this where they saw

some people preaching and casting out devils

in the name of Jesus. Hallelujah. Praise God.

So, but that's now. That event is not that they

were preaching and casting in the name of who?

Jesus. Glory to Jesus. Hallelujah. So now we

now see the same thing that we are reading in

Matthew chapter 10. Jesus did not change the

Matthew 10 · chapter mention

communication after his resurrection. The only

thing that is now happening that is different

is that now Jesus will know or he knows that

he will not be around again in humanity form.

Amen. So what he will do, he will now. Give the

power to everyone who believes. To them that

believe in my what? In my name. In my humanity,

my power is limited to 12. In my resurrection,

my power is what? Unlimited to the whole nations

of the earth. Let me repeat myself. In my humanity,

my power is limited to what? To myself. and to

twelve and as many that are with me. Hallelujah.

But in my resurrection, my power is unlimited

to the nations of the earth. So we see Galatians

Galatians 3:8

chapter 3 verse 8 will now tell us that what?

The gospel was preached to Abraham, right? And

that gospel is that indeed all nations of the

earth will be what? Will be blessed. Hallelujah.

Glory to Jesus. Good. So now, that's where we

now stop. 1 Corinthians chapter 15 verse 1 to

1 Corinthians 15:1–4

4. The gospel now. So the death, burial, and

resurrection of Jesus now in the Old Testament

is also called what? The gospel. And if you observe

in our cell meetings, we have had gospel in Deuteronomy,

gospel in Numbers, gospel. Have we done that?

Gospel in Genesis. Hallelujah. And when we check

all those, if you go back to check your notes,

you realize that the emphasis of those teachings

were the death, burial, and resurrection of who?

Of Jesus. Hallelujah. Glory to Jesus. 1 Corinthians

1 Corinthians 15:1–4

chapter 15, verse 1 to 4. See, see the same thing

now that we are learning. Moreover, brethren,

I declare unto you the gospel, can you see, which

I preach, what? Unto you, which also ye have

received, and wherein ye, what? Ye stand, by

which ye also are saved. If ye keep in mind,

so which means, the gospel I preach to you, you

receive the gospel. Hallelujah. Go to verse 1.

He said, I declare unto you, the what? The gospel

and you also have what? Have received it. Praise

God. So which means that faith now in what? In

that which was preached to them. So if we stop

here, it means the same thing that happened to

Abraham is the same thing that happened to them.

God spoke the gospel to Abraham. Abraham received

it and it was imputed unto him as what? Righteousness.

Paul preached the gospel to them and they received

it. And it is accounted unto them as what? As

righteousness. Glory to Jesus. Is it clear, everybody?

Next verse now. And he said, By which also are

ye what? Saved. If ye keep in memory what I preach

unto you, unless ye have believed in what? In

vain. Next verse. So I deliver unto you first

of all that which also I what? Received. What

has he received? How that Christ did what? Died

for our sins. So what Paul is saying is that

The gospel I preach unto you is that what? Christ

died for our sins according to what? Can you

see he said according to what? The scriptures.

So which means when Paul preached to them, at

that time, there was nothing called Corinthians.

There was nothing called Matthew, Mark, Luke,

John. The gospel that Paul was preaching to them

was from Genesis to what? To Malachi. So that

day, Paul opened Genesis to Malachi and he preached

the resurrection of Jesus to them. Hallelujah.

And they received it and they became saved. Amen.

Hallelujah. And from the reading of the scriptures,

he said Christ's works died for our sins. Are

we all here? Next verse now. According to the

scripture. And that he was what? Buried and that

he rose again the third day according to... Does

this also look like Luke 24? Hallelujah. For

it behooved Christ to what? To suffer, to die,

be buried and be raised. After what? The third

day. So and that he was buried and that he rose

again the third day according to the scriptures.

Verse 5 now. And that he was seen of Cephas,

then of 12. Next. After that he was seen of above

500 brethren at once, of whom the greater part

he made unto his presence, but some are fallen,

what? Asleep. Next verse. We stop at 7. So, Paul

was talking about his experience now. Glory to

Jesus. Hallelujah. But you see, Paul's experience

was subjected to scriptures. According to what?

The scriptures. That what I saw, the encounter

I had with Jesus, That encounter is translated

as what? Salvation. According to what? The scriptures.

Glory to Jesus. So we see the resurrection. So

the scriptures is talking about the what? The

death, the burial, and the resurrection of who?

Of Jesus. And when we call that, is that what?

It's called the gospel. Hallelujah. Glory to

Jesus. Glory to Jesus. So which means that when

we go out to preach, we are preaching nothing.

What are we preaching? Christ died. He was buried.

And he was raised. According to what? The scriptures.

That's the theme of the gospel. Nothing missing.

Nothing broken. Nothing added. Nothing reduced.

Same gospel from the beginning to end that saves

people and still saving people till now. Glory

to Jesus. Hallelujah. Amen. Then now. 1 Corinthians

1 Corinthians 15:12–21

chapter 15 verse 12 to 21. 1 Corinthians 15.

1 Corinthians 15. Verse 12 to 21. See what the

scripture says. For since by one man came dead,

by one man also what? Am I reading the place?

Sorry. Now if Christ be preached that he rose

from the dead, now how says someone among you

that there is no resurrection of what? Of the

dead. That's him. But if there be no resurrection

of the dead, then is Christ not what? Rising.

Hallelujah. Now, we are discussing this now.

If you are in the cell meeting, you know we are

discussing this also. Amen? So the proof that

there is a resurrection of the dead, right, is

that Christ was raised from what? From the dead.

1 Thessalonians chapter 4 will tell us that what

1 Thessalonians 4 · chapter mention

has happened to Christ is already a token, is

a testimony, is a sign that that is the same

experience that will happen to everyone that

is asleep in Christ Jesus. Amen? Good. So, for

till now. And if Christ be not risen, then is

our preaching what? Vain. So which means? Paul

is saying that our preaching is not vain because

we know that Christ has what? Has reason. And

he says, and your faith is also what? Vain. And

he knows also that your faith is not vain because

Christ is reason. Hallelujah. 15. Yea, and we

have found false witness of what? So if Christ

has not reason, if there was nothing called resurrection

of Jesus, then every one of us that we are sitting

right now. We are enjoying false witness what?

Teachings. Hallelujah. So which means that Abraham

was a false witness. Moses a false witness. David

a false witness. Jeremiah a false witness. Ezekiel

a false witness. Hallelujah. Nehemiah a false

witness. Every one of them in the scriptures

what? False witness. Isaiah a false witness.

Because we understand. That dead burial and resurrection

of Jesus is from where first? According to what?

The scriptures. So it means the scriptures bore

a false witness about who? Christ. If there was

no resurrection of Jesus. And that means that

now, what happened to Abraham, that righteousness

that was imputed to Abraham will not happen.

Hallelujah. Amen. And also today, that if we

preach the gospel, when we preach the gospel,

and someone hears the gospel and is saved, that

person cannot be called he is saved again. Because

there is no resurrection of what? Of Jesus. That's

what Paul is saying. But you see, Paul is saying

that, how is it that some of you will say there

is no resurrection of the dead? Now we already

have an evidence. And that evidence is that Christ

has what? Has risen. And that is the same thing

that we preach. That is the same thing that you

have received. And that means that your faith

is not also in what? In vain. That is the same

thing he's saying there. 15. Yea, and we have

found false witnesses of God, because we have

testified of God that he raised, can you see?

That he raised who? Raised up Christ, whom he

raised not up. If so, be that what? The dead

rise not. For if the dead rise not, then is not

Christ what? Raised. And if Christ be not raised,

your faith is what? In vain. So which means that

if there is no resurrection, then there will

not be what? The saving from sin. You remember

in Matthew chapter 1, we say his name shall be

Matthew 1 · chapter mention

called Jesus for he shall save his people from

their sins. So which means that if there is no

resurrection of Jesus from the dead, then there

will not be any idea of people are saved from

sin. So which means people will continue to remain

in their what? In their sins. That's the communication

he's saying. So what Paul is saying to them?

is that the evidence that Jesus has been raised

from the dead is that what? Our sins have been

dealt with. Glory to Jesus. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

I stop at what? Verse what? Verse 17. Good now.

18. Then they also which are fallen asleep in

Christ are perished. 19. If this be, if this

life, if in this life only we have hope in Christ,

we are of all men most miserable, but how? But

now, is Christ risen from the dead? become the

first fruit of them that what? That slept. Hallelujah.

Glory to Jesus. So we have evidence. So the end

of every believer is not this. Hallelujah. So

if today I'm put down in the grave, that is not

my end. Because I already have an evidence. There

is a first fruit evidence for me. Glory to Jesus.

Hallelujah. And what Paul will call that? He

calls that the gospel. He will call that what?

The gospel. So the resurrection of Jesus is vital

when it comes to the name of Jesus. The resurrection

of Jesus is important when it comes to the what?

To the name of Jesus. So important. Why? Because

the resurrection of Jesus is the point or is

the main message about the gospel. The main message

about the gospel. So what are we seeing in 1

1 Corinthians 15:1–4

Corinthians 15, verse 1 to 4? 1 Corinthians 15,

1 Corinthians 15:1–4

verse 1 to 4. It's how that Christ, what? Died

for our sin. 1 Corinthians 15, verse 1. 1 Corinthians

1 Corinthians 15:1 1 Corinthians 15:1

15, verse 1. See now how he started by saying,

He said, So the number one thing we are seeing

in resurrection is that Christ died for what?

For sin. Remember, we said that onoma means what?

Function. Hallelujah. And all that we've learned

so far, about the name of Jesus Emmanuel is that

God becoming man to save man. So how is God becoming

man to save man? This is what we are looking

at. Hallelujah. That God has become man to save

man through what? The resurrection of Jesus.

Well, let me put it first this way. Through the

death of Jesus to deal with sin. Hallelujah.

Glory to Jesus. So we see Christ dying for sin.

And not only that Christ has died for our sins,

he was not left... Under the air, under the elements

of nature to just deal with his body and vultures

come and eat it and eat it. No, no, no, no, no,

no. You see, in the scriptures, there was concurrent

events that will happen after the death of Jesus.

That he will die, right? And then he will be

buried. So you see, during that time, the rich

man that asked for Jesus' body, right? He was

just doing his normal events. He just went around

and then asked, please give me the body of Jesus.

Please, I have a place. He bought a place. He

was doing it, didn't know that he is fulfilling

what? Scriptures. I just got something in my

heart. That the believer will live an everyday

life, right? Let me put it this way as it's coming

to my heart. As a believer, live your life every

day knowing that The things you do, which Paul

has dealt with it in Romans, knowing that the

things you do with your body, right? The things

you do with your members is fulfilling God's

purposes on the earth. Let me repeat myself.

As a believer, live your everyday life knowing

that what you do, right? With your body. With

your members, your everyday life, you're waking

up, you're lying down, you're eating food, whatever

you eat, whatever you do, right? That you are

fulfilling God's purposes where? On the earth.

So the rich man was roaming about looking for

how they will bury the body of Jesus, knowing

that what? He is fulfilling what? The scriptures.

That's the second thing. The 39, he said what?

And then he was raised from the dead according

to what? The scriptures. This is the same thing

he mentioned in Luke 24. Right? In Luke 24, verse

Luke 24:45

45. See what he says. Then openly they are understanding

that they might understand the scriptures and

he said unto them, thus it is written, and thus

it behoove Christ to suffer, right? And to rise

from the dead, the what? The third day. We can

put it that way, right? That 46. We can put it,

thus it behoove Christ to suffer, right? And

to die and to be buried and then be raised, the

what? The third day. Glory to Jesus. Hallelujah.

Same, same message. Same. Romans 1 verse 1 now.

Romans 1:1

And what the scripture will call that? It calls

it what? The gospel. Romans 1. Romans 1 verse

Romans 1:1

1. Everybody. Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ,

called to be an apostle, separated unto what?

The gospel of God. See verse 2. Which he hath

promised aforetime. We can say it this way, which

he has communicated a fourth time by his prophets

through the what? The Holy Scriptures. Next verse.

Concerning who? So, that which he has communicated

a fourth time through the Holy Scriptures by

the prophets now is concerning who? His son,

Jesus Christ, our Lord, who has made the seed

of David according to what? According to the

flesh. And declared to be the son of God with

what? So how was he declared? He was declared

to be the son of God with what? With power. According

to the spirit of holiness. By the resurrection

from what? From the dead. Amen. Next verse now.

By whom we have received grace and what? Apostleship

for obedience to the faith among two nations.

One nation. Three nations. How many nations?

For his what? So. underline the word, among all

nations, underline the word, for his name. And

then underline the word, we have received grace,

which is what? Apostleship, a calling, a separating,

an assignment, a function to all nations for

his name. So what Paul is saying here, the same

thing that has happened to me is the same thing

that is happening to every believer. The day

a believer gets saved or the day a man gets saved,

that man has been separated unto the gospel of

God. Hallelujah. And that man has received grace

and what? Apostleship for obedience to what?

To the faith. To how many nations? To all nations.

For whose name? For his name. Glory to Jesus.

Hallelujah. Six now. Just stop at six. Among

whom are ye also the called of what? Of Jesus

Christ. Just what I just finished saying now.

Hallelujah. Romans 1 .16 now. So now we now see

that now. Romans 1 .16. Romans 1 .16. Romans

1 .16. Now, Paul will now leave that place now.

And then Romans 1 .16, he will say, For I am

not what? For I am not ashamed of the what? The

gospel of God. Hallelujah. that have been spoken

aforetime in the scriptures, holy scriptures

by the prophets concerning his son, Jesus Christ.

Amen. So this gospel that have been spoken aforetime,

that have been fulfilled now, it is called what?

That that gospel is the what? The power of God.

So what this place is saying now, let's connect

this place to 1 Corinthians 15. Christ dying

for sins, Christ being buried. Christ being raised

from the dead, that is called the power of God

unto what? Unto salvation. Do you understand

what I just said now? Christ's death, burial,

and resurrection, right? Let me put it this way.

Gospel is equal to Christ's death, burial, and

what? Resurrection is equal to the power of God

unto what? Salvation. unto how many people? To

everyone. You see, the same thing that he mentioned,

well, have been separated according to the gospel

of God, right? That we have received this grace

of apostleship, right? Right, to the obedience

of faith to all nations. Hallelujah. So, that

means that the power of God unto salvation is

to everyone, to all nations. Glory to Jesus.

So, what we are saying, that what God spoke from

the old, that we call the Holy Scriptures, which

we know, what God was speaking to Abraham, what

he spoke to Isaiah, what he spoke to David, what

he spoke to Jeremiah, what he spoke to Ezekiel,

what he spoke to Malachi, what he spoke to Hosea,

what he spoke from Genesis to Malachi, every

of that thing, of that communication is called

what? The power of God unto what? Salvation.

That is why in Luke 24 now, When Christ will

open their understanding. Let's see now. Let's

see. Let's see. Let's connect it. See. Luke 24.

When Christ. After Christ had opened their understanding.

And taught them. 38. Luke 24. 48. After he had

taught them. 47 now. Right? Let's start from

verse 45. So that you can connect what I'm saying.

Then opened here their understanding. That they

might understand the what? The scriptures. And

he said unto them. Thus it is written. Right?

Thus it behoove Christ to suffer and to rise

from the dead, the what? The third day, which

Paul will call it the power of God unto what?

Salvation. Hallelujah. 47. And that through the

power of God unto salvation, repentance and remission

of sins should be preached to how many nations?

To all nations, to everyone that believes. All

nations beginning at what? Jerusalem. 48. And

where are weaknesses of what? Of these things.

39. And behold, I send the promise of my Father

upon you, but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem

until ye be endued with power on what? On high.

Because that event called Christ's death, burial,

and resurrection comes with an evidence called

the power of God unto what? Salvation. Hallelujah.

Glory to Jesus. Glory to Jesus. Do you understand

what we are doing? Do you understand what we

are learning? And that is called the name of

who? The name of Jesus. For his name's sake.

In his name. By his name. Glory to God. Glory

to God. Romans chapter 10 verse 9 now. Romans

Romans 10:9 Romans 10:9

chapter 10 verse 9. Romans chapter 10 verse 9.

Romans 10:9

That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the

Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thy heart that

God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt

be what? Power of God. On to what? Salvation.

And what are you confessing? You confess with

thy mouth the what? The Lord Jesus. And you believe

in your heart that God had done what? Raising

from the dead. You wrote somewhere that the crux

of the gospel, right? The message of the gospel

is what? The resurrection of who? Jesus. I believe

in my heart that God had raised him from the

dead. I become what? Saved. That is called the

power of what? The power of God. That is the

power of God. That is the power of God. So let

me say this now as it's coming to my heart. Which

means that when the gospel is preached, right?

What is happening is that the man that is preaching

the gospel, right? What he is doing is that he

is exercising, he is releasing the power of who?

The power of God. The man that is receiving the

gospel by faith, that man is having an encounter

with the power of God. And that power of God,

what? Will save that person. That is the salvation.

And so all these events are happening, right?

For his own sake. Glory to Jesus. Glory to Jesus.

Glory to Jesus. You see, that is why now in Mark

Mark 16 · chapter mention

chapter 16, he will now tell them that, Go ye

into what? All the nations of the earth. And

do what? And preach the gospel. Because the believer

is the man that has the power of God unto salvation.

Do you know what I just said? The believer is

the man that has what? The power of God unto

what? Salvation. So if the believer is the man

that has the power of God unto salvation. that

ought to be everywhere saving our men. He said

to everyone that believes. Everyone that believes.

Are we all here? Are we all here? 1 Corinthians

15, 13. 1 Corinthians 15, 13. 1 Corinthians 15,

13. So far so good. Are we learning? Are we learning

everybody? Okay, good. I'm also learning. I'm

also learning. Because some things I'm not. I'm

learning here and not even in my notes. So 1

Corinthians 15, 13 now. But if there be no resurrection

or death, then Christ is what? He's not risen,

right? We're going to stop at 17. Yes, let's

go. And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching

what? Vain. And your faith is also what? In vain.

Hallelujah. Yea, and we have found false what?

Witnesses of God. Because we have testified of

God that he raised up Christ, whom he raised

up. Whom he raised not up. If not so, be that

the dead rise not yet. For if the dead rise not,

then is not Christ what? Raised. 17, and we stop

there. And if Christ be not raised, your faith

is in vain, then ye are yet in your what? In

your sins. Hallelujah. So the summary of what

Paul is saying is that what I declare unto you

people and you believe is the power of God unto

what? Salvation. And that power of God unto salvation

has saved you from your sins. Hallelujah. And

that is called the gospel. Christ's death, burial,

and what? Resurrection. Glory to Jesus. Glory

to Jesus. So far so good. We understand how we

arrived here, right? We know how we arrived here,

right? Is it clear? Any confusion so far? Any

confusion? Good. So now, let's just quickly have

a rundown, maybe add some references in the book

of Acts where we see some of these things. Acts

Acts 1:1–3

chapter 1, verse 1 to 3, everybody. Let's go.

Very fast. Let's have this very fast. Acts chapter

Acts 1:1–3

1, verse 1 to 3. Can you see? He showed himself

what? Alive, right? After his passion, by many

infallible what? Proofs. If you are reading another

version, you say, Many undeniable proofs. Being

seen of them 40 days and speaking of the things

pertaining to the what? To the kingdom of God.

And we've learned here, pastor has taught us

here, that the things pertaining to the kingdom

of God, which we've learned, that he has taught

them in Luke 24, is his death, burial, and what?

Resurrection. Hallelujah. Glory to Jesus. So

now, and then now, let's read down to it. Very

fast. Let's go. And being assembled together

with them, commanded them that they should not

depart from Jerusalem. But wait for the promise

of the Father, which he said, ye have heard of

me. Because he has told them all those things.

When we read the book of John, right? For John

truly baptized with water, but ye shall be baptized

with the Holy Ghost not many days hence. When

that therefore were come together, they asked

of him, saying, Lord, will thou at this time

restore again the kingdom to Israel? And he said

unto him, it is not for you to know the times

of the season which the Father hath put in his

own power, but ye shall receive power after the

Holy Ghost is come upon you, and ye shall be

what? Witnesses. So you see, now Paul, now where

we read in 1 Corinthians 15, Paul will tell them,

if Christ be not raised, then we have become

what? Says what? Witnesses. So what are we witnessing

about? We are witnessing that Christ have died,

Christ was buried, and Christ was raised from

the dead. And that is the power of God that saves

men from their sins. Hallelujah. That's what

Jesus is saying here there will be. Right? Unto

me, both in Jerusalem and in all Judea and in

Samaria and onto the autonomous part of the earth.

If you remember, in Luke 24, he said that, right?

For ye are witnesses of this, and that through

you, repentance and remission of sins will be

preached to how many nations? To all nations

for my name's sake. Hallelujah. Glory to Jesus.

So, what are we seeing? That from Jesus' death,

burial, and resurrection, Now we see witnesses

born out of it. Glory to God. For his name's

sake. Ah no, let me not go there. It's at the

end now. Let me not say at the end now. Hallelujah.

For his what? For his name's sake. For his name's

sake. Acts chapter 1 verse 22. Acts chapter 1

Acts 1:22 Acts 1:22

verse 22. Beginning from the baptism of John

unto the same day that he was taken up from us,

must one be ordained to be a witness with us

of his what? of his resurrection and other evidence.

His resurrection. Right? Acts chapter 2, verse

Acts 2:25

25. Acts chapter 2, verse 25. Acts chapter 2,

Acts 2:25 Acts 2:25

verse 25. For David's speak, we'll just run it

fast to 33. For David's speaker concerning him,

I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for

he is on my right hand, that I should not be

moved. Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my

tongue was glad. Moreover, also my flesh shall

rest in hope. Because thou wilt not leave my

soul in hell, neither this Peter now, quoting

David now, right? Wilt not leave my soul in hell,

neither wilt thou suffer thy holy one to see

what? Corruption. Thou hast made known to me

the ways of life. Thou shalt make me full of

joy with thy what? Countenance. Men and brethren,

let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch

David, that he is both dead and buried, and his

sepulcher is with us unto what? this day. Therefore

being a prophet and knowing that God has sworn

with an oath to him that of the fruit of what?

Of his loins. Now from Abraham now. Hallelujah.

According to the flesh he will raise up which

means what God spoke from the scriptures that

will happen that we call the promise that is

the gospel that according to flesh Jesus will

come. Let me put it this way now that we learn

now. God will come according to flesh. Amen?

He will die and be buried, and he will be raised

from what? From the dead. To his loins, according

to the flesh, he will raise up Christ to sit

on his what? On his throne. He seen this before,

speak of the resurrection of who? Of Christ.

That his soul was not left in hell. So if you

are in the cell meeting now, we are discussing

this, right? Neither his flesh did see what?

Corruption. 32. This Jesus our God raised up,

whereof we are all what? I will stop there. Hallelujah.

That through the resurrection, that he has spoken

from our forefathers, that's what Peter was saying,

right? That today, that is fulfilled, and you

now hear, and you now what? You now see. Let

me put it this way. That what they are seeing

in display is that they are seeing a display

of the power of God unto what? Unto salvation.

So we now see at the end of his message, right?

We now see 3 ,000 will be what? Will be saved.

Because when we now read further the other verses

ahead, we now see after he has preached the gospel

to them, right? All of them wondered, how can

we be saved? They became saved from what he spoke.

Mind you, don't forget, Peter was not speaking

from Ephesians. He wasn't speaking from Corinthians.

He wasn't speaking from Galatians. He was speaking

from Genesis to what? To Malachi. So now write

this somewhere. So which means that I can preach

the gospel from Genesis to Malachi and people

will be saved today. Do you hear what I just

said? That I can preach the gospel from what?

Genesis to Malachi, right? And people will be

saved when? Today. Glory to Jesus. So let's quickly

add these scriptures now. Add these scriptures,

everybody. Acts chapter 3 verse 15. Acts chapter

Acts 3:15 Acts 3:15

3 verse 15. Acts chapter 5 verse 30. Acts chapter

Acts 5:30 Acts 5:30

5 verse 30. Acts chapter 10 verse 40. Acts chapter

Acts 10:40 Acts 10:40

10 verse 40. Acts chapter 13 verse 29. Acts chapter

Acts 13:29 Acts 13:29

13 verse 29. And then Acts chapter 17 verse 31.

Acts 17:31

Acts chapter 17 verse 31. Are we all there? Yes.

Acts 17:31

So when we read all these places, we will see

about the resurrection of Jesus, the resurrection

of Jesus, and then the things he has accomplished.

Glory to Jesus. Glory to Jesus. Are we all here?

Are we all here? Are we learning? So far so good.

Is there any confusion? Okay, good. So now Ephesians

Ephesians 1:16

chapter 1 verse 16. Let's go to Epistles. We're

just going to run this fast and then we end the

last part. Ephesians chapter 1 verse 16. Our

Ephesians 1:16

sister, our sister Judith helped us and then

we prayed a part of it. Ephesians chapter 1 verse

Ephesians 1:16

16. We'll stop at 23, everybody. Right? So with

all that we have learned now about resurrection,

then now that resurrection is called the gospel.

And then that gospel, Paul would call it the

power of who? The power of God unto what? Salvation.

He said to everyone. Hallelujah. So everyone

that believes the gospel will encounter this

power too. Glory to Jesus. Good. So Ephesians

Ephesians 1 · chapter mention

chapter 1, number 16. So with all that we have

learned, pay attention carefully to the lines

as we are reading it. Right? And then with all

that you have learned, you'll be fixing some

things there. 16, let's go. Since not to give

thanks for you, Making mention of you in my what?

Prayers. That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ,

the Father of glory, may give you the spirit

of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of

who? In the knowledge of him. 18. The eyes of

your understanding being enlightened, that ye

may know what is the hope of his calling and

what the riches of the glory of his inheritance

in what? In the saints. You know what we read

in Romans chapter 1 verse 1, right? He said that

Romans 1:1

what? I've been separated unto the gospel of

God. Hallelujah. I've received grace, right?

And apostleship, right? Right? To the obedience

by faith, right? To preach the gospel to all

nations for the name of Christ. Amen? Good. So,

now, see what he's saying in 18. So, Paul will

say that statement in Romans chapter 1 because

Romans 1 · chapter mention

now, the eyes of his understanding now is enlightened

about that assignment. Hallelujah. 18 now. So,

now, you will pray for them. That ye may know

what is the hope of his calling, and what the

riches of the glory of his inheritance in the

saints. 19. Everybody, pay attention, pay attention,

pay attention. And what is the exceeding greatness

of his, what? Power to us, what? And it is the

power of God unto salvation to everyone who believes

according to the working of his mighty power.

20. What is this power? Everybody pay attention

now. And see, everybody pay attention because

everything we're going to read from 20 to 23

is what is active in them that believe now. Are

we all here? Are we all here? Are we all here?

20 now. Walking of his mighty power. 20. Which

he wrought in who? In Christ. When he raised

him from the dead and set him at his own right

hand in the heavenly places. far above all principalities,

and power, and might, and dominion, and every

name that is named, not only in this world, but

also in that which is to come, and hath put all

things under his feet, and gave him to be the

head over all things, to the church, which is

his body, the fullness of him, that filleth what?

All in what? In all. Hallelujah. Glory to Jesus.

So what is the summary of what we are saying

now? We're going to go into it. The summary of

what we are saying is that all that we've read

from 20 down to 22 is the reality of the church

now. Do you hear what I just said? All that we've

read from 20 to 22 is the reality of what? Of

the church when? Not tomorrow. Not next week.

Not next month. When? Now. The power... That

is at work in us who believe is the power that

God wrought in Christ. Is the power that raised

him from the dead. Is that same power that settled

him at his own wrought? Right hand. Mind you,

remember, right? In Ephesians chapter 1, we are

Ephesians 1 · chapter mention

not, we are not, let me, let me, let me just

quickly get it now. Let me just quickly get it.

Let me quickly get it. No, Ephesians chapter

Ephesians 2:6

2 verse 6 now, right? I want to say something,

that's why I need to read it. Ephesians 2, and

had raised up us together. And made us to see

him heavenly places in who? In Christ Jesus.

Ephesians chapter 1. He said that he has raised

Ephesians 1 · chapter mention

him up. Hallelujah. And set him at his right

hand in the what? Heavenly places. He didn't

raise Jesus only up. He raised us up. Hallelujah.

The power that raised Jesus set us up together

with Christ in what? In heavenly what? In heavenly

places. Christ is far above principalities. The

church is far above principalities. Hallelujah.

Christ is far above power. The church is far

above power. Christ is far above might and dominion.

The church is far above might and what? Dominion.

Every name that is named, not only in this world,

but also in that which is to come. As they are

subjected to Christ, so are they subjected to

who? To the church. I put all things under his

feet. I put all things under the feet of the

church. Hallelujah. And I'm giving him what?

To be the head over all things what? To the church.

which is his body, the fullness of him that filleth

what? That filleth all. So if we want to understand

the fullness of Christ, Jesus is dead, burial

and resurrection, we will understand the fullness

of Christ, dead, burial and resurrection and

that power in where? In the church. Glory to

Jesus. That is the name of Jesus. That is the

name of Jesus. So now, verse 17 now. Verse 17,

everybody. Let's look at verse 17. Verse 17 says,

Ephesians 1, 17. The Lord Jesus Christ, the Father

of glory, may give you the spirit of wisdom.

And what? Which is revelation in the knowledge

of what? Of him. So we have learned that revelation

is the word apocalypses. Revelation is the word

apocalypses. Apocalypses. Apocalypses. I think

we've learned it during the, during the Kadatismos,

right? It means what? Apocalypses. I remember

very well, we said from Romans chapter 8, 19,

Romans 8 · chapter mention

20. Same word, apocalypses. Okay, I will not

say it. The word knowledge, right? The word knowledge.

What's the word knowledge? Epignosis. I think

I said it last teaching. It means what? No, pastors,

don't say anything, pastors. Pastors, don't say

anything. It means what? Okay, I will not say

this one too. You will check your notes. You

are making my work easy. Ephesians chapter 4

Ephesians 4:11

verse 11. Ephesians chapter 4 verse 11. Ephesians

Ephesians 4:11 Ephesians 4:11

chapter 4 verse 11. We have received grace. Hallelujah.

So epignosis means accurate knowledge. Amen.

Apocalypse means what? Huh? Laid bare. Okay.

Huh? The neck naked. What do I have here? A strange,

strange teal. If you just drop the 4 by 11, everybody

will see the same word we use about knowledge,

right? And he gave some apostles and some prophets

and some evangelists and some pastors and teachers

for the prophethood of saints, for the work of

the ministry, and for the body of Christ. Till

we all come in the unity of faith and of the

epignosis of the Son of God. On the path of man,

on the measure of the stature of the fullness

of who? Of Christ. Same word there. Hallelujah.

So let's add these references now. Philippians

1 .9. Same word for that knowledge. Philippians

1 .9. Colossians 1 .9. Why is that these days?

I don't carry. currencies in my pockets. Or maybe

I'm in cashless mood. You know, when you are

under management, you have to be cashless. You

know, because the flow is maintained and managed.

May the Lord give you understanding. Philippians

1 .9, Colossians 1 .9, Philemon 1 .6. You know,

before I married, I used to blow money. I blow

money anyhow. I'm a blower. You know, I blow.

If you are close to me, I blow it. One day, Pastor

Ife came and asked me, he said, Bishop, it's

like you have disconnected yourself from money.

I told him, I said, I'm trying to do one experiment.

When I'm done, I think I will tell you why I'm

doing it. You know? So I told my wife one day,

I said, oh, we're coming out. I told her, I said,

you know, there is a way, poverty. will make

you, the things of the world will not appeal

to you. You know, there's a way lack of cash

will make you, restaurants, nah. Looking good,

nah. I remember Pastor Victor would say, you

know, Bishop, this is your trouser. I said, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Matter of God, we

are not focusing on that now. Don't focus on

these things now. He said, no, you know, there's

a way, you know, we need to, as we are going

up. We should, we should be, they say, well,

we need to look, I say, no, we are still good

this way. No cash. Yeah, no, no cash. Those few

weeks ago, I realized that there's what is called

wealth and there's what is called ultra wealth.

Just a few weeks ago, I said, hmm, that's my

first time, ultra. So, it's well. Where were

we? Where did we write? Philippians, Philemon

1 .6, 1 Timothy 2 .4, and then 2 Timothy 3 .7.

Let's quickly rush this now. So what he is now

saying to them, there will be a revealing, number

one, and that revealing will come as a result

of what? Accurate knowledge. Amen? Ephesians

1 .18. 18 now tells us that what? That word enlightened,

we have learned it here. It means fortizo, right?

And fortizo means to educate. So the mind will

be educated about Christ. The mind will be illuminated

about Christ. That's enlightened. Amen? Then,

that you may know what is the hope of his calling.

Yes, yes, yes. So there will be an illumination.

There will be an education, right? About his

calling, about the riches of his glory. Of his

inheritance in what? In the saints. Amen? 19

now, everybody. And what is the exceeding greatness

of his power? Right? That word power there is

dynamis. That word power is what? Dynamis. Dynamis

means ability to accomplish something. Dynamis.

D -Y -N -A -M -I -S. Ability. That word power

there, right, is called dynamis. It means ability

to what? To accomplish something. He said, we

will know the exceeding ability of God that is

resident in us. Who what? Who believes. Hallelujah.

That we will know it. I pray for you, the church.

Right? That the eyes of your understanding will

be what? Will be illuminated. After knowing the

hope of his calling, the riches of his health

in the saints, right? You will now know. That

there is an ability of God in you. Hallelujah.

Glory to God. Now, he now calls that again. Let's

see all the adjectives that we're given now.

Dynamics, right? Just what we believe according

to the working of his what? Of his mighty power.

See all the connections that Paul will give.

Exceeding, greatness, working, mighty what? Power.

exceeding, greatness, working, mighty, what?

Not power that has worked and is not working

now. Hallelujah. Not power that has stopped working.

Not power that is going to work for two weeks.

Not power that is going to work for three days.

No, no, no, no, no, no. He said that effect work,

you see that work there is a continuous, present,

future, participle, tense. If you add anything,

working and moving till eternity. Paul will call

it That this power is what? Is exceeding great.

That word exceeding. Exceeding means hyperbolo.

Hyperbolo means what? To surpass. To surpass.

To excel beyond. There is a power in believers

that surpasses. That excels. There is a power

that is beyond the usual. Hallelujah. Let me

add this now to it. There's a power that is beyond

the ordinary. There is a power that is beyond

the natural. That's the word exceeding. Greatness

is megetos. Greatness. M -E -G -E -T -H -O -S.

Megetos. Megetos means magnitude. An unusual

magnitude of ability in the believer. Megetos.

M -E -G -E -T -H -O -S. Magnitude. Then we know

what walking is, right? Working. Effective. Energia.

Something that is running. Efficient. That is

functioning effectively. Hallelujah. Then the

word mighty. Mighty power. Two words together.

Mighty power. He joined two meanings of power

all together, right? Mighty is also used for

power. That is ischis and kratos. The first power

is dynamis, an ability to accomplish something

in the believer. Amen. The second mighty is also

power ischys. I -I -S -C -H -Y -S. It means the

ability that is manifested. Hallelujah. So the

ability that is what? Manifested. Ischys. I -S

-C -H -Y -S. Displayed strength. Manifested ability.

And then that manifested ability, now he joined

it together with the word kratos, mighty power,

right? Displayed ability or manifested ability

associated with authority or dominion. So kratos

is what? Power associated with what? Authority

and what? Dominion. Hallelujah. So when we put

that together, exceeding greatness, working what?

Mighty power. So in the believer, there is an

ability of God, hallelujah, that is functioning,

running effectively, that is manifested, right?

To show authority and what? Dominion. And that

is why when you see the next place now, the next

verse, it begins to tell us that that power that

is effective, he wrote it in who? He wrote that

power in who? in Christ Jesus. That same wrath

in Christ Jesus, that not wrath, is the same

thing with walking and at you. So that same power

is that he made that power, right? So now, listen.

So what the scripture is saying now, the point

we're telling that the eyes of the understand

be illuminated to is that the power that now

is in us, that belief, is the power, not, God

did not reduce it to 95%. He did not receive

it to 99 .9%. He did not receive it to 70%. He

said, no, no, you know, there's a level their

body cannot carry. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

He said, that same exceeding, greatness, mighty,

walking power is that same power that he wrote

in who? In Christ Jesus. That same power is the

power that raised Christ from who? From the grave.

He didn't stop there. That same power is that

power that sets Christ in the place of authority

in the heavenly places. Hallelujah. That same

power is the power that made him to be set above

principalities and wealth, power and might. That

same power. What I'm saying is that inside you,

the believer, there is a power that raised Jesus

from the dead. There is a power that has set

him in the heavenly places. There is a power.

That has set him above what? Principalities.

What I'm saying automatically now, a revelation

in order to come to you, that that is your reality

now. That is your current reality. Hallelujah.

That God has set us above what? Principalities.

Above powers. Above might. Above rulers. Onoma.

Authority. Function. Office. So which means the

believer is now in the what? In the power. In

the office of Jesus. You remember the illustration

we gave, that when you say, in the name of Jesus,

rise up and walk, it's not another power that

is coming from above. It's that same power that

is where? In you. So I see a sickness, I see

a cancer, I command every symptom of cancer to

go in the name of Jesus. You are not mentioning

the biological name of Jesus. You remember I

said, in my name, you will lay hands on the sick.

What you're just doing in the natural is that

as you lay hands, power is transmitted from within

you through your hands upon the disease. As you

alter us, you shall cast out devils. You demon,

I speak to you. So, oh, listen guys. So which

means that the power of God that is resident

in the believers will find expression through

our members. So when I speak, I release power.

When I lay hands on the sick, power is released.

Not another power. Which means that when I'm

encountered with a circumstance, there's a resident

power inside me. Hallelujah. There's a resident

power. Not only a resident power. Let's qualify

it now. There is an exceeding... What again?

Let's work. There's what? 19. Now, let's call

the words. There is an exceeding greatness of

what? of his working what? Mighty power where?

In me. So when you go to her this week, hallelujah,

when you are declaring that right inside me,

there is an exceeding greatness working mighty

power. There is an exceeding greatness working

mighty what? Power. There is an exceeding greatness

mighty working what? Power. That power is working.

That power is what? It's working. Glory to Jesus.

So now, which means I've occupied his what? His

office. Lastly now, Colossians 2 .15. Let's rush

this now. Colossians 2 .15. So you see, what

Paul will teach the church is that they understand

this exceeding greatness, working mighty power.

This is my word, me. This is my word for the

week now. There is an exceeding greatness, mighty,

working mighty power. There is an exceeding greatness,

working, mighty power. Not the power that has

not worked. Let me say this as it's coming to

my heart. That before God gave us the power and

he ensured the power is to us what we believe

as, he first wrought that power in Christ Jesus.

Do you understand what I just said? So which

means that if God wrought that power in Christ

Jesus, and Christ did not rise, will not receive

it. Do you understand what I'm saying? So when

God wrought in Christ Jesus, and Christ was raised

from the grave, that same power is what is resident

in the believer. Let me just add this as a way

of lesson now. So which means that, whatever

is around us, whatever that seems difficult,

whatsoever that seems challenging, Whatsoever

that seems, oh, I'm confused about it. Whatsoever

that seems is a mountain. Whatsoever that seems

as though it's some form of darkness. Whatsoever

that seems to be like it's some kind of restriction,

some kind of resistance. Remember that there

is an exceeding greatness, working, mighty power.

That power was first tested in Christ Jesus.

And it works. It raised Jesus from the dead.

It didn't only raise Jesus from the dead. It

set him up in the heavenly places. Above principalities,

powers are mine. That power is at work where?

In me. That is the name of Jesus. Hallelujah.

Colossians, very passing. Colossians 2 .15 now.

I'm just going to rush this now. 2 .15. Is it

happening? Let's start with verse 14. Blotting

out the handwriting, all that thing. And you

being dead in your sins, Tell yourself I'm not

ordinary. Say I'm not ordinary. Say I'm not ordinary.

Nothing overcomes me. Say I'm not ordinary. There

is an exceeding greatness. working, mighty power.

Oh, I'm not ordinary. Hallelujah. Having spoiled

principalities and powers, he made a show of

them openly, triumphing over them in it. Hallelujah.

He made a show of them openly, triumphing what?

Over them. Glory to Jesus. So that word spoiled,

write it down, please, fast. Just have like maybe

four minutes. That word spoiled is apecdomai.

A -P -E -K -D -U -O -M -A -I. A -P -E -K -D -U

-O -M -A -I. It means to disarm. To strip off.

He disarmed principalities and powers. You see

where we read in Ephesians that he set him up

above what? Principalities, powers, and might.

This is what happens. That he disarmed what?

He disarmed. So, Jesus' death, burial, and resurrection.

Right? His resurrection is the proof that powers,

principalities and powers have been what? Disarmed.

He said to disarm. Are you reading that? Yes.

And then now, I added this now. To disarm, to

show as a sign of victory. To disarm means to

show as a sign of what? As a sign of victory.

To show as a sign of victory. Three minutes.

To show as a sign of what? As a sign of victory.

So that Colossians 2 .15. 2 .15 I said. He made

a show of them what? Openly triumphant what?

Over them. Hallelujah. And that word. To show

them openly. To show them. Is the word. Degmatizo.

D -E -I -G -M -A -T -I -Z -O. D -E -I -G -M -A

-T -I -Z -O. It means to give evidence or a proof

of a thing. Hallelujah. To give what? To give

evidence or a proof of what? Of a thing. Add

these scriptures now to help us with that. Colossians

1 .13. Colossians 1 .13. Ephesians 2 .6 -7. Ephesians

3 .10. To give evidence. To give evidence. To

give evidence. Then Hebrews 2 .14. Hebrews chapter

Hebrews 2:14

2, verse 14. Hebrews chapter 2, verse 14. Help

Hebrews 2:14

us with Hebrews chapter 2, verse 14. Okay, let

Hebrews 2:14

me quickly read it here because my time is. For

as much then as the children are the particle

of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise

took part of the same. That true dead, everybody

see now, that true dead, he might what? He might

destroy him that had the power of who? Dead,

that is who? The devil. Next verse now. And not

only to destroy the devil, the high power of

death. Amen. But to deliver them who through

fear of death were all their lifetime subject

to what? To bondage. So in the destruction of

Satan, the high power of death. Amen. Comes the

deliverance of them that are under what? Bondage.

Hallelujah. Glory to Jesus. Glory to Jesus. So

what did Jesus do? What did he do when he did

that destruction? Because we are reading that

he spoiled principalities and powers. Amen? What

did he do? He did it through his death, burial,

and resurrection. He did it through his death,

burial, and what? And resurrection. He did it

through his death, burial, and resurrection.

Because what he did was not hidden. Hallelujah.

What he did, the scriptures say he shewed them

openly. And that word openly is paresia. Paresia.

means to boldly, a freedom of expression, to

boldly show things up, to boldly show things.

The same thing, Matthew chapter 1, verse 19,

Matthew 1:19

and then Hebrews chapter 10, verse 19, Matthew

Hebrews 10:19

1, 19, Hebrews 10, 19, and then 1 John 5, 14.

And then lastly, 2 Corinthians 2, 14 now. 2 Corinthians

2, 14. That word triumphing over them. triumphing

over them means a procession with an acclamation

of victory. Hallelujah. A procession with an

acclamation of what? Of victory. So what Jesus

did is that, yes, good, to show that principalities'

powers, right, and then might and powers have

been defeated. What he did is that he gave a

proof. Hallelujah. And that proof he gave, Is

what? Is in the church. Is in where? In the believer.

Hallelujah. This is how. Now, thanks be unto

God, which always caused us to what? To triumph.

In who? In Christ. And make it what? Manifest

the servant of his knowledge by us in what? In

every place. So what Jesus did is what? Exercise

where? On the earth. The show. The evidence that

principalities, powers, might, rulers, right,

have been disarmed is where we are the evidence.

Hallelujah. The power, that exceeding greatness,

mighty working power, like that God wrote in

Christ Jesus, we are the proof of it. So what

we are saying is that the name of Jesus came

from victory. Hallelujah. The name of Jesus came

from conquests. so also the believer came from

victory. So every time I'm exercising, I'm praying

in the name of Jesus. I'm praying from victory.

I'm not praying from defeat. Hallelujah. Every

time I'm overcome by a situation against me,

right? I stand before that situation, what? From

where? From victory. Why? Let me say this lastly

now. Because the manifest servile of God's knowledge.

He's always what? Nailed through me. Glory to

Jesus. Glory to Jesus. Say, I'm in the name.

I'm in the name. I'm in the name. I'm in the

name. Can we just bless God, everybody? Can we
