Hebrews 10 · chapter mention

24 Hebrews chapter 10 verse 24 Hebrews chapter

Hebrews 10:24 Hebrews 10:24

10 verse 24 and the scripture reads and let us

consider one another to do what? To provoke To

provoke unto love and to do what? And to do good

works. Hallelujah and let us consider what? One

another let us pay attention to one another to

provoke one another unto love unto what unto

unto Good works 25 not forsaking the assembly

of ourselves together as the manner of some is

But exhorting one another and so much the more

as yes see the day what? Approaching hallelujah

Praise God praise God so as believers Meetings

play a very important role in our lives Meetings

are pivotal points. They play very important

role in what? In our lives. Believers, meetings

are important in our lives. It is major. Meetings

are major for the believer. Meetings are vital

for the believer. And we cannot afford to despise

meetings and treat them with contempt. We cannot.

So when we see verse 25, it says, not forsaking

the assembly of ourselves together, the gathering

of what? Of ourselves together, as some will

do. So we will gather, but there are people among

us that have made a culture and a habit of what?

Of disregarding that meeting. verse 24 where

we read is a from meetings we consider how to

provoke what one another hallelujah from meetings

we consider how to show one another how to do

what good works from meetings we learn how to

love however amidst that atmosphere we still

have some that have built a manner of what of

neglecting meetings praise God hallelujah believers

meetings and the demonstration of things of the

spirit so the word provoke means to incite the

word provoke means to what? to incite to incite

the word provoke means to what? to incite and

the meaning from the root word it means to sharpen

to sharpen the word provoke from the original

root word is what? to sharpen, to make sharp

to make sharp to stare up to spore to arch amen?

the word provoke is to what? to incite to incite

to stay up to make sharpen to sharpen to make

sharp hallelujah so believers meetings are meetings

where we do what we sharpen one another hallelujah

there are meetings where we do what we spoil

one another that's the word provoke there are

meetings where we incite one another hallelujah

there are meetings where we stimulate one another

unto what unto love and unto good works praise

God That's the essence of Christian gatherings

to stir up one another And then we see verse

25 say not forsaking that what forsaking the

meaning of forsaking means to leave behind To

leave behind to abandon to desert What is important

for you you decide to do what to abandon it That

same word was used for Demas in 2 Timothy chapter

2 Timothy 4:10

4 verse 10. 2 Timothy chapter 4 verse 10. Same

2 Timothy 4:10

word was used for Demas has forsaken me. Hallelujah.

Having loved this what? Present world and is

departed unto Thessalonica, Christians to Galatia,

Titus unto what? Dalmatia. So what did Demas

do? Right? He forsook a spiritual relationship

Supernatural arrangement by God for his benefit.

He decided to do what? To forsake it And when

you forsake a gathering, when you forsake believers,

what do you do? Definitely you must pursue something.

So what did he follow? He loved what? This present

world So if you have people here that despise

meetings, they despise meetings because they

are in pursuit of something. If you have people

that treat supernatural atmospheres, supernatural

meetings as such, that should build them God's

provision for their building, for their stability,

for their increase, for their direction, for

their instruction, and then you check their lives,

they are pursuing something entirely what? Against

the purposes of God. Hallelujah. Praise God So

we see that word same use for Dimas the word

mana as the mana of some is that what mana the

meaning of mana means Custom As the custom of

some will be custom a culture a way of life So

these people are not only leaving behind believers

meeting but they have made it a what a way of

life I Just had now in my heart that you are

trying to make it a way of life This word is

for you. Do not despise The provision I've made

for your life through this local church. Hallelujah

Make it a culture the same way you are making

it a culture To despise my provision, make it

also a culture to do what? To love my provision.

Hallelujah. It's a word for somebody here now.

Mana means custom. Something that is common among

a set of people. A tradition, like a habit. A

devotion. Something done consistently. Something

that you do what? Consistently. How far? Will

I see you in church tomorrow? He said, I know

the show, I know the show, I know the show, I

know the show. He said, I know, but last week

we discussed, you were not around last week.

He said, something urgent came up. There was

nothing urgent. He or she has just made it a

what? A culture, a habit of disregarding God's

provision for his or her what? Her life. Hallelujah.

Praise God So the local church you can write

this as you're writing the local church and Christian

gatherings are God's provision for my growth

I want you to be writing it that way personalize

it the local church and Christian gatherings

or believers gathering are God's provision for

my what? For my growth is a meeting where everybody

must participate Amen So we say the local church

and Christian gatherings are God's provision

for my growth number one my stability For my

growth my stability my instructions My direction

my training my building in the things of God

The local church and Christian gatherings are

God's provision for my growth, my stability,

my instructions, my direction, my training, and

my building in the things of God. Hallelujah.

The local church is God's provision for my profiting.

So every time I find myself in the church, it's

time I will be what? Profited. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

So every meeting is an opportunity for God's

profits to be made manifest in your life So despising

believers meeting despising Christian gatherings

is saying no to God's what? Profit. When you

are not profiting what's happening to you? When

you are not profiting what's happening? You are

losing So don't be a believer that is always

at this advantage position every day. No, no,

no, no, no, no. God has already provided all

that concerns me in Christ Jesus. He has made

it available through where? Through the local

church. Praise God. So the local church is God's

system for my spiritual well -being. Ha! Is God's

system for my what? My spiritual what? Well -being.

As long I find myself no sickness. there is no

sickness when I feel weak I feel weak one week

no touch two weeks no touch third week no touch

one month no touch two months no touch and I'm

wondering what's happening to me I cannot understand

what's happening to me I feel heavy I feel moody

I don't know what's happening to me one of these

days dust yourself and find yourself in the midst

of believers something will happen and you will

be provoked hallelujah you will be provoked that

weakness that you feel in your inside you will

not feel it again you came in here weak you will

live limping and jumping and rejoicing and full

of strength of the holy ghost again god system

for my what spiritual well -being is god system

for my supply in the things of spirit Is God's

system for my supply in the things of the Spirit?

Hallelujah! Every Christian must be built around

Christian gatherings. No Christian can be built

in his room. Listen to me, let me say it again.

No believer can be built in what? In his room.

If you find yourself in your room for too long,

you are partnering with Satan. is an activity

of darkness something is happening to your life

and you need a fire service approach believers

are not oh let me say it this way so that i can

write it believers are not called into christ

to be built in their rooms they are to be built

in where in the local church in the local church

So the gathering of people is the church Hallelujah

The church is the evidence Pastor Fred has taught

us here Jesus was speaking to Peter in Matthew

Matthew 16 · chapter mention

chapter 16 He said upon this rock I will do what?

I will build my what? My church and the gates

of hell will not what? Will not prevail The next

verse He said I will give that same church what?

The keys of where? of the kingdom of where? of

heaven the authority of the believer is not to

be exercised outside the church in isolation

apart from the church no no no no all of us the

way God has structured his family is that his

family is effective together praise God Me, I

don't like this chong chong. Every day Pastor

Victor will just be saying, why we are not seeing

you? Why we are not seeing you? Why we are not

seeing you? We are not seeing you. That is why

your life is the way it is. Let me say it as

it's coming to my heart. Fight whatever will

stop you from attending Christian meetings. Do

you know what I said? Do what? Fight it. There's

something we say, tooth and nail. Right is just

like a saying tooth and nail which means go extra

mile to resist Whatever will keep you in your

room and tell you never come to church Hallelujah

You know when I was in the university My first

year I didn't start well academically and we

got into the university thinking because they

say we are smart in high school in secondary

school Will be smart in the university just like

that you go to class you know and just do magic

that you have done before you know what happened

to samson they caught his hair lock when the

way he shake himself nothing happened that's

what happened to us in first year so we got into

the university thinking we'll just enter the

class enter the exam dust it and go no it didn't

work that way first year they dusted us god delivered

us from carryover you know here we have makeup

make down make side you make everything there

there is no makeup first semester will add one

year to you one course will add one year automatically

and the way they do it in faculty of medicine

there will be a list for passes so if your name

is not on the pass list just know you are with

the masses so everybody i god please let me just

let me just be on the pass list please lord i

will not repeat it again God delivered me also

on the past lease with what 2 .97 87097 I Say

no, no, no, no, no, we cannot continue to be

able to continue this way. You see we 2 .97.

You are far from first class again No more first

class. So now it has to be what 2 1 2 2 no 2

2 cannot measure to our IQ. It's a full of pride

We started sleeping in the class. I slept in

the class. He knows our university I slept in

sea never dry till my last semester of graduation

out of the university Just to ensure I get into

what into to one I'm going somewhere I Will go

to the room clean up my space is already known

in the class where I sit then to the class, drop

my bag, then to church, then back to class, back

to my room, lecture hall, back to class, to the

church, and that's how the life is. So there

are times that I would just feel, don't go to

church. This happens to, okay, now if you have

grown, it has not happened to you again. But

if you are here, when you are growing, it happened

to you. It happened to everybody. You say no,

no, don't go to church today. Don't go to the

exams is too much Don't go to church. You see

if you go to church, you're gonna fail. You're

gonna fail I say ah, no, I will not I will not

know but you know then I'll just get this nudging.

You have to be in charge today I will struggle

mind you the trust provides a bus system to take

us I'll say no, no, no, no, no, and then I will

do my best and now arrive in the church. Guess

what? you see that church that I eventually came

something will happen in the service and I will

say if I'd missed today that will have been one

of the worst times of my life because that day

God will answer a lot of questions bring so much

direction to me so much is in one of those services

that I learned that a believer can pray in tongues

and interpret the tongues One of those services

that I struggled, I dragged myself and I came

there, right? It's in one of the services the

pastor said, do you know that you can interpret

your tongues? I said, how? Do you know from that

service, I didn't go back to class, I went to

basketball court. He knows the place. The first

day is not making sense or it didn't make sense.

So I left, I'm like this interpretation is not

coming. But I'll go back to next service on Sunday.

Pastor emphasize it more. I said but I know one

amazing thing Pastor Pastor Tende you just come

I perceive in my heart that God this morning

is doing this he told you this he did this he

did that and he's bringing this to you and I'll

see one sister somewhere yeah yeah I said this

is working he will call ten people sir he will

give them word by the spirit so accurate and

so precise The Holy Spirit was tearing up something

you see provoke one another right that thing

was doing something I said this thing is working.

Let me go back I'll go back to basketball court

and pray and pray one of these days as I'm praying

raka palada from nowhere and knowing came That

these are the things you are praying for you

know from know I just got to feel joy joy one

of these days you know i was praying in one of

the areas you know so from nowhere a knowing

came that god has sent angels to minister strength

to me i know what i'm saying from you see i'm

saying it because i've not forgotten those experiences

believers meetings are meetings where you build

supernatural experiences from the holy ghost

you can never never forget how god encountered

you Certain questions, certain things that disturb

your life too much is from the meetings. Many

of us, from catatismos, something changed. An

experience came, a fantasy came, a knowing came.

Your eyes, your hearing, the spirit of wisdom

and revelation came through those meetings. Prophets.

You see in the Holy Ghost? that dwells in our

inside God let me put it this way God has put

in the believer a profiting system eternally

inside you is a profiting what? system of the

Holy Ghost Do you know I feel weak sometimes

to pray I'll just In my heart I'll just hear

leave the office leave the office workout leave

the office wherever you sit here students will

come and they stop leave the office and just

space around for 30 minutes I will start it mechanically

against how I feel But the time I'm into 10 20

minutes 30 minutes I believe this is the reason

why I want you to pray more. Pray, pray, pray,

pray, pray. You know, I will pray more and before

you know it, so much strength has come that you

don't feel like going back. Those fervencies

and those things didn't come in my office or

in the room. It's from where? From these meetings.

Hallelujah. Say this morning, this morning, I

will say things that I've never said before by

the Spirit of the Lord. I will have experiences

that I've never had before by the Spirit of the

Lord. I will receive directions from my family

that I've never received before. I will receive

instructions from my friends that I've never

received before by the Spirit of the Lord. Hallelujah!

Let's write these references and we enter practicals

time joining us, right? believers meetings are

meetings where majority of the people in that

atmosphere are believers we're gonna have few

people that are not saved amen and few people

that don't understand what is happening in that

meeting hallelujah and if you are here and you

are not saved or you are here you're from another

place or you are invited by a friend and what

you see in believers meetings certain things

and many of the things that are going to be happening

are illogical are going to be illogical to you

it will not make sense to you let me say it this

way the holy spirit will go ahead of us hallelujah

certain things certain words certain instructions

you're going to receive are worse ahead of you

you are the one that are going to catch up with

it Praise God. So as we divide ourselves to pray

certain things are gonna happen that will be

illogical to you because you have Now how can

you explain? Pastor Imai is giving a word to

me and the word he is giving to me is a discussion

I've had with my wife in the house and I've not

shared it with him. Is that not illogical? Hallelujah,

but because I know he has the Spirit of God and

God is bringing those words to profit me I will

receive them with thanksgiving and joy hallelujah

and then Subsequently the understanding will

begin to come Interpretations will come Clarity

will come you see from those meetings my wife

Romans 10:9–10

10 Romans chapter 8 verse 9 hallelujah hallelujah

Romans 8:9

say we are not let me say the way i wrote it

here we did not first become the temple of the

holy ghost for the spirit to dwell in but rather

we are the temple of the holy ghost because he

dwells in us do you hear what i just said we

did not first become the temple of the holy spirit

for him to do what to dwell, but we are the temple

of the Holy Ghost because the Holy Spirit does

what? Dwells in us. So in 1 Corinthians chapter

1 Corinthians 3:16

3 verse 16, Romans chapter 10 verse 9 to 10,

Romans 10:9–10

Romans chapter 8 verse 9, you will see those

Romans 8:9

realities there. 1 Corinthians 6 11, add that.

You will see those realities that the believer

is the man that indwells the Holy Spirit or the

Holy Spirit indwells that man called the believer

Because now the indwelling of the Spirit of God

in the believer makes the believer the temple

of the Holy Ghost Hallelujah, praise God Hallelujah

So why do we come together as believers in a

meeting? Why? Why do we come together as believers

in a meeting? Why do we come together? Number

one, we come together to minister one to another.

We come together to provoke one another, to minister

one to another. 1 Corinthians 14 verse 26. You

we're going to build on them. Why do we come

and spiritual songs Holy Spirit we come together

to exhort one another You see that what says

to minister what? One to another. That means

that everybody is participating. Hmm. Hallelujah.

So if I say brocolade, even if an instruction

is given, can we minister to one another? It

means that he is not only the one that will do

what? Minister to me, but also what? Minister

to him. Hallelujah. So there is a giving and

there is a receiving. Have you ever seen how

does the scripture say iron sharpened what? Iron.

Have you practicalized that in your house? Not

of the Lord Hallelujah Lastly right this now

In believers meetings we will write these items

and then we rise to our feet now in believers

meeting or in a Holy Ghost meeting Number one

one of the things that we see is that the Word

of God is giving the first place In believers

meeting the Word of God is what is giving the

what? The first place is giving the first place

and there's a reason for that Why do we do that?

Because whatever we see whatever we hear must

be validated by what? By the word Hallelujah

All the experiences we're gonna have here must

be judged by God's word Amen Everything that

will happen this morning in the next one minute
