-
We want to read the scripture.
-
The Bible says that man shall not live by bread alone, but by what?
-
So tell your neighbor there is a word that I will live on.
-
It's the word of God.
-
What is the word?
-
Open door Design?
-
So look at your neighbor and tell your neighbor I am designed in Christ.
-
Tell your neighbor I am a designer product, but as if you were.
-
So tell your neighbor, I'm very expensive.
-
Hallelujah, amen.
-
So we want to read this verse.
-
It's an interesting verse In the book of Hebrews, chapter eight.
-
I want to read from verse four to twelve, and it starts by saying if he were on earth OK, now, that's starting in the middle of a sentence If he were on earth.
-
So let's start from verse one, so that we know who that is.
-
Verse one says this Now, the main point of what we are saying is this we do have a word, yes, we do have such a high priest, who sat down at the right hand of the throne of the majesty in heaven and who serves in the sanctuary, the true tabernacle set up by the Lord, not by a mere human being.
-
Every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices, and so it was necessary for this one also to have something to offer.
-
So who is this one?
-
Who is this high priest?
-
Jesus, he says if he were on earth he would not be a priest.
-
Ok, if Jesus was on earth he would not be a priest, for there are already priests who offer the gifts of prescribed by the law.
-
They serve at a sanctuary.
-
That is a copy and a shadow of what is in heaven.
-
Now, remember, we're talking about design, we're talking about blueprint, amen.
-
But then they said the blueprint has a copy.
-
Hello, there's a copy and a shadow of what is in heaven, because the blueprint itself was in heaven.
-
This is why Moses was warned when he was about to build the tabernacle See to it that you make everything according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.
-
But in fact, the ministry Jesus has received is as superior to theirs as the covenant of which he is mediator Is superior to the old one, since the new covenant is established on what Better promises?
-
For if there had been nothing wrong with that fast covenant, no place would have been sought for another.
-
No place would have been sought for another.
-
But God found fault with the people, not with the covenant, with the people, and said the days are coming, declare the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the people of Israel and with the people of Judah.
-
It will not be like the covenant I made with their ancestors when I took them by the hand to leave them out of Egypt because they did not remain faithful to my covenant and I turned away from them, declares the Lord.
-
This is the covenant I will establish with the people of Israel.
-
After that time, declares the Lord, I will put my laws in their minds and write them on their hearts.
-
I'll be their God and they will be my people.
-
No longer will they teach their neighbor or say to one another know the Lord, because they will all know me.
-
They will all know me.
-
They will all know me.
-
I'm saying they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, for I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more.
-
Now I want you to listen carefully, because this message will be very simple.
-
So tell your neighbor fungo mas kio, amen.
-
Tonight I want to talk about redesigned for greatness.
-
You have been redesigned for greatness.
-
I'm saying you are redesigned For greatness, and there are three things that I'll be talking about.
-
Number one God's design, then number two, god's demand and number three, god's delight.
-
God's design, god's demand and God's delight.
-
And I want you to know that it pleases the Lord to have redesigned us, to have redesigned us for greatness.
-
I am saying you have been redesigned for greatness.
-
You see, from the beginning God had a plan and every time he started that plan, somebody interrupted it.
-
For example, in the book of Genesis, the Bible says God said let us make man in our image and in our likeness and let them have dominion.
-
And when God finished, god said and it was very, very good.
-
But then somebody interrupted it.
-
Who was that?
-
Satan?
-
Satan is an interrupter and I want to say, in the name of Jesus, that this month, anything that has been interrupted in your life made the Lord redesign you for greatness, in Jesus' name.
-
Tell your neighbor, I will not be interrupted.
-
Tell your neighbor, god's plans for me will not be interrupted.
-
God will fulfill that which he designed for me in this season and in this time, in Jesus' name.
-
So when God had made that plan, he made it with two people who had a choice.
-
So tell your neighbor, god also designed us with a choice.
-
That is why, when you're dealing with animals.
-
There are no choices.
-
If you need chicken for food or you want to eat chicken, like we used to do in shaggs, you just go outside and you start chasing a chicken in the area.
-
People are running and you catch it, take a hold of it.
-
Some people used to kill chickens in different ways Some would get the neck and swing it around, others would just cut it.
-
But you see, at that time the chicken has no choice.
-
You eat meat.
-
A cow had no choice.
-
When you're dealing with people, people have choices, so they can accept the design or do what, or reject it.
-
So the amazing thing is that when God made us, he took a big risk to plant into us something called choice, because that choice would have been used against who Against who Talk to me, against Against God.
-
You see, we are not puppets, we are not machines, we are not robots.
-
We are people who need to relate and we relate by choice, hallelujah.
-
And so the devil knew that.
-
He knew that God had put choice in human beings, and so from time to time he would just interrupt what God was planning to do, not because his design was bad, but because the people who were designed for that design would decide they don't want the design.
-
Does that sound like a rap song?
-
And so God makes man in his image, in his likeness, and God says it is good.
-
Then Genesis, chapter 3, happens.
Genesis 3 chapter mention
-
Now, the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made.
-
Now, remember, at this particular time, the serpent is not the devil.
-
Hello, the serpent was just one of the animals in the Garden of Eden.
-
Hello, now, the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals.
-
It seemed as if the serpent at that time was very clever doing things.
-
Then any of the other animals the Lord God had made.
-
He said to the woman now the devil now uses an opportunity, gets into the serpent and now speaks to the woman.
-
And then the serpent says did God really say you must not eat from any tree in the garden?
-
The woman said to the serpent we may eat.
-
Now listen to how she says it.
-
We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, but God did say you must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden.
-
Tell your neighbor so far it is true, the last part.
-
And you must not touch it, because God did not tell Adam that.
-
God just said if you eat this, you don't eat this thing.
-
You know.
-
But look at the devil.
-
Now the devil is putting a twist on this.
-
He says you will not certainly die, but God had said you will certainly die.
-
So the devil is saying you will not suddenly die.
-
The serpent said to the woman, and then he puts something that begins to bring doubts in Eve's brain.
-
He says this, for God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened and you will be like God.
-
Now that again is a lie, because God said he made us in his image and in his likeness.
-
Tell your neighbor, the devil is bad.
-
He says you will be like God.
-
She was already like God, knowing good and evil, when the woman I don't know how long it took, but she started looking at this tree.
-
When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it.
-
She also gave some to her husband, who was where.
-
Thank you, jesus, who do you think was supposed to stop the devil?
-
Adam, and Adam is not talking.
-
And who was given the command, adam or Eve?
-
Adam, who was supposed to tell Eve what God said?
-
Thank you, jesus.
-
And that is why, much later, the Bible says that the woman was deceived, but Adam disobeyed.
-
Are you kidding me?
-
Because she was deceived for lack of knowledge.
-
My people perish for lack of knowledge.
-
Adam had all the knowledge.
-
He did not pass it on, but the devil, my whole thing that I want to talk about is that the devil interrupted God's plan because bad things started happening.
-
The Bible says in verse seven.
-
It says this Then the eyes of both of them were opened and they realized they were naked.
-
So they sawed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.
-
Then the man and his wife had the sound of the Lord God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the Lord.
-
For a long time they had never hidden from the Lord.
-
So they hid from the Lord among the trees of the garden.
-
But the Lord God called to the man where are you Now?
-
Did God know where they were?
-
Why did he ask that question?
-
Because he wanted to find out whether Adam and Eve know where they are.
-
Hello, they had fallen short of the glory of God.
-
That's why they were naked.
-
By the way, they were covered by the glory, so they never saw their nakedness.
-
They were covered with the glory of God.
-
So when they fell short of that glory, the glory had disappeared and they saw themselves naked.
-
Then they were very scared and now they were very vulnerable.
-
The glory had departed and he answered.
-
I heard you in the garden.
-
This is Adam.
-
And I was afraid because I was naked, so I hid.
-
And he said who told you that you are naked?
-
Again, god is telling us.
-
He told you who you are, but now somebody has told you something different.
-
And who is that?
-
The devil?
-
Who told you you are naked?
-
Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?
-
The man said hey, hey, listen, masi, the woman you put here with me.
-
Now, who is being blamed, by the way?
-
Now who is being blamed here?
-
Who is Adam blaming?
-
Now?
-
Read it, read it, read it.
-
Okay, go back to verse 11.
-
Tell your neighbor foolishness, whizdom, okay.
-
And he said who told you that you are naked?
-
Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from.
-
The man said the woman you put here with me.
-
If you had not given me that woman, I would still be here without a problem.
-
So who is being blamed?
-
It's God, god.
-
It is your fault.
-
Hmm, this woman that you are the one who gave me.
-
I never asked you me, I slept.
-
When I woke up she was there.
-
Yeah, so God was in his room, the woman you put here with me.
-
She gave me some fruit from the tree and I ate it.
-
Then the Lord God said to the woman now where were you?
-
What is this you have done?
-
The woman said the serpent was in Angalia.
-
The serpent did what?
-
Deceive me and I ate.
-
So the Lord God now said to the serpent, because he was not the only one left to deal with.
-
The Lord said to the serpent no, he's not being asked any questions, he's not being told what will happen.
-
Because you have done this, cast a you above all the livestock and all the wild animals.
-
You will crawl on your belly.
-
Now, that day, the serpent, who in our imagination had legs, now God is saying those legs will disappear and you crawl on the earth.
-
You will crawl on your belly and you will eat what Dust All the days of your life.
-
But now verse 15 is very important, because it is a promise that God is going to deal with this interruption.
-
Hallelujah.
-
And I will put enmity between you and the woman and between your offspring and hers.
-
He will crush your head and you will strike his heel.
-
Who was God talking about there?
-
So let's go back, go back to 15.
-
I will put enmity between you and the woman.
-
So the woman is the life giver, the life producer, the serpent, of course, the offspring, that's the devil, and whoever uses I'll put between you offspring and hers, he will crush your head.
-
Now, who is this?
-
Who will crush the woman's offspring and the woman's offspring?
-
Who can go into the future, in any Jesus?
-
Who will crush the head of the serpent?
-
Hallelujah.
-
But the serpent will do what Strike his heel.
-
In other words, though, the devil will be crushed, jesus will be killed.
-
You're getting me.
-
God had a plan.
-
Tell your neighbor, god had a plan.
-
So, regardless of what is happening in your life, regardless of what is interrupting you, you are still redesigned for greatness.
-
So that was an interruption, and of course there are many other interruption.
-
If you read the book of Genesis, you know when God then brings Abraham into display and things like that, many things started happening, but God still had a plan.
-
His design can never be interrupted.
-
Amen Can never be interrupted.
-
God loves you.
-
So don't delay his plan.
-
Just accept him and God will work through your life in amazing way.
-
So, number one, like I said, there is a design, tell your neighbor there is a design.
-
Number two, tell your neighbor there is a demand.
-
And number three, tell your neighbor there is a delight.
-
So God had this plan, this design, and the serpent, some of the things that God was doing, that the devil did not even know, that God was doing it, that God was working, fulfilling his purposes for you.
-
And so God put a design, and that design was to bless his people, even though they had sinned and they had fallen short of the glory, because God's purpose was one day to restore that glory.
-
Hallelujah, restore us to that glory we had fallen short.
-
God is going to restore that glory.
-
We will be covered by that glory and we will never feel vulnerable, guilty, shameful, will be covered by the glory of God.
-
That's God's design and God's design is key.
-
Now let me go to Hebrews, chapter 8, because again there it talks about the patterns that God has been working on.
Hebrews 8 chapter mention
-
There's a pattern, there's a design.
-
This is what he says in this verse.
-
Let me read verse 4 and 5.
-
It says If he were on earth, jesus, he would not be a priest, for they are already priests who offer the gifts prescribed by the law.
-
They serve at a sanctuary that is a copy and a shadow of what is in heaven.
-
This is why Moses was warned about to build the tabernacle.
-
See to it that you make everything according to what?
-
To the pattern that you are given on the mountains.
-
So God had a pattern.
-
One of the patterns that God had in terms of redemption was to be the God of Abraham, isaac and Jacob.
-
That was a pattern.
-
Tell your neighbor pattern.
-
That was his design.
-
That is how God was going to be introduced back to the earth.
-
Now remember when Adam sinned, god was kind of.
-
God now became illegitimate on planet earth, because God was legitimate on earth when he dwelt in Adam.
-
When Adam sinned, god had no place to be legitimate on earth, and so God had to wait for some time.
-
And then that's when he got a person called Abraham and said Abraham follow me so that God would again be legitimate on the planet through a design called the God of Abraham, isaac and Jacob.
-
Now see what God said about Abraham Genesis, chapter 12, verse 1,.
-
He calls Abraham from Babylon.
-
And Abraham has come out of that place many idols and God wants to show him the only God who lives.
-
The Lord had said to Abraham go from your country, your people and your father's household to the land I will show you.
-
I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you.
-
I will make your name great and you'll be a blessing.
-
I will bless those who bless you and whoever castes you I will cast.
-
And then he says and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.
-
So Abraham went as the Lord had told him, and Lord went with him.
-
Abraham was 75 years old when he set out from Haram.
-
So far, so good.
-
So far, so good, abraham.
-
Then, through Abraham, he said I will make you what A father of many nations.
-
So remember, keep it in your brain Abraham the father.
-
Then he said to Abraham, through Isaac, he gave a promise.
-
So Abraham was the father.
-
Isaac was the fulfillment of a promise.
-
So you have Abraham father.
-
So tell your neighbor that Abraham, father, isaac, promise, and then Jacob follows, because then Jacob, through Jacob, the 12 tribes of Israel were formed.
-
Are we together?
-
And in the 12 tribes of Israel that is now called the inheritance that God had.
-
So you have Abraham, father, isaac, promise, jacob inheritance.
-
Are we together?
-
It's the design.
-
So let me go back to Hebrews, because I'm putting some dots together so that you can catch them.
-
So there's a design.
-
Tell your neighbor, there's God's design.
-
And then he says in verse I believe it is verse 6.
-
Let me read verse 6.
-
Verse 6, he says but in fact, the ministry Jesus has received is a superior, is a superior to theirs, as the covenant of which he is mediator is superior.
-
Let me read this in the New King James Version so that you can see the word superior in a different light.
-
The Bible says this in verse 6 one more time.
-
But now Jesus has obtained a more excellent ministry.
-
Tell your neighbor.
-
It is excellent In as much as he is also mediator of a better covenant, which was established on better promises.
-
So there's an excellent ministry.
-
And I want to say this God's design is an excellent ministry.
-
It is a purpose of a kingdom that needs to be established on this planet earth.
-
Remember that theme I'm talking about is we have been redesigned.
-
For what, for greatness?
-
Remember that.
-
That's what God is trying to say to us Now.
-
The funny thing is that when Jesus came now remember this Jesus needed to come.
-
So let me read that for you, because Hebrews is a very interesting book.
-
Hebrews chapter 1, verse 1, so that you just because many of you don't take time to read the book of Hebrews, so it has many things.
-
So look at your neighbor, tell your neighbor what he's saying is true.
-
The only time we hear about the book of Hebrews is when we are taking coffee, because that book is the one that tells us God does what Hebrews.
-
That's the time you get to hear about coffee.
-
It says God, who, at various times and in various ways, spoke in times past to the fathers by the prophet, has in these last days spoken to us by his son, whom he has appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the words.
-
Who being the brightness of his glory Remember that glory was lost, but Jesus is going to restore that glory who being the brightness of his glory and the express image of his person and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the majesty on high, having become so much better than the angels as he has, by inheritance, obtained a more excellent name than they.
-
For to which of the angels did he ever say you are my son.
-
Today, I have begotten you, so keep that in mind.
-
Now, for Jesus to become a priest, my brother on earth, something had to change in the old testament.
-
Who was the high priest in the old testament?
-
Who do you remember was the high priest?
-
Talk to me.
-
Yeah, just say it.
-
If you fail, you fail.
-
It's who?
-
So remember there was Moses and then Moses.
-
God was told Moses.
-
Remember it is a covenant.
-
He's putting together all these things.
-
It is a copy of things in heaven and it needs to be brought here on earth.
-
So Moses becomes God.
-
Remember God told Moses I'll make you God over Pharaoh.
-
Remember that.
-
But that God needs a priest.
-
And the priest is who Aaron and Aaron came from?
-
Which tribe?
-
The Levites, those people who were jeans.
-
That's on a light note.
-
The Levites.
-
That meant.
-
Now, remember this is design, that if Jesus was to be priest on earth, he needed to be born through which tribe?
-
The Levites.
-
But Jesus was born from which tribe?
-
Judah.
-
So, in other words, something needed to be redesigned.
-
Are we together redesign?
-
There was a design here Abraham Isaac and Jacob but it needed to be redesigned so that when Jesus came, he came completely from a different angle.
-
That is why Jesus then, through Judah, something had to shift, something had to happen.
-
If you read Hebrews, when chapter eight, chapter seven, begins to lay that foundation of a shift so let me read that, kiddo gutu, hebrews, chapter seven, so that you see the change and the shift that happened it says for this Melchizedek.
-
Now, that's why they now they introduced this person called Melchizedek.
-
For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of who, the most high God, who met Abraham.
-
Remember, there's a shift Abraham Isaac and Jacob.
-
There's a shift.
-
So Melchizedek shows up for this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham, returning from the slot of the kings and blessed him, to whom, also, abraham gave a tenth part of all.
-
Okay, let me read this in the NIV so that it flows a bit.
-
Okay, go back to NIV.
-
So I'm just teaching you so that you can understand the shift.
-
Okay, this Melchizedek was king of Salem and priests of God most high.
-
He met Abraham returning from the defeat of the kings and blessed him, and Abraham gave him a tenth of everything.
-
First, the name Melchizedek means King of righteousness, then also king of Salem.
-
Now, this is not Salem in Islam.
-
What, hello?
-
The king of Salem means king of peace, because that's what Salem go back, because sometimes we just that's the word Salem.
-
Salem also sounds like Israeli word for Salam, which comes from the Hebrew word shalom, which is also another word for Solomon.
-
All those are the same words Solomon, peace, shalom peace, shalom peace, salem peace, king of peace.
-
And then it says verse three, a very interesting thing Without father or mother, without genealogy, without beginning of the days or end of life, resembling the son of God, he remains a priest forever.
-
Now, if you read that portion, you begin to find that this Jesus, where the shift was beginning to happen, comes now through that authorization.
-
The king of Salem, or the king of peace, reminds you of another person called the prince of peace.
-
Who is that?
-
Jesus Christ?
-
God is redesigning.
-
He's saying I'm no longer going to stay with this design, I'm introducing a new one, one as if he were.
-
That's why Jesus came.
-
And that is why, let me tell you this Jesus said I am the way, the truth and the life.
-
No man comes to the Father except by me.
-
If you try going through Abraham, isaac and Jacob, you're going to get stuck, because that season came and passed.
-
He has redesigned now that nothing happens.
-
But Jesus Christ is the one who makes things happen.
-
So look at your neighbor.
-
Until the neighbor, you have been redesigned for greatness, amen.
-
So there's a design Now, just to make it a bit simpler for you, remember this the design is an excellent one.
-
The design is of God.
-
The design reveals God's power.
-
The design is for a new purpose in Christ.
-
The design is for kingdom advancement, and that is why Jesus came preaching the kingdom and saying the kingdom of God has come.
-
But God had an amazing plan.
-
So Peter, just come briefly.
-
So Peter is going to represent Abraham, isaac and Jacob, all right.
-
So we are going to say Abraham, your kitchen, isaac the Mueli, jacob the Mugu Hello, abraham is talking about Father, isaac is the promise, jacob is the inheritance.
-
All right, now I need somebody else.
-
Let me get Pastor Edith, pastor Edith, come.
-
So Pastor Edith is going to represent Jesus Christ.
-
Tell your neighbor why she's a woman.
-
Now, tell your neighbor, it is called affirmative action.
-
Come here, how are you so?
-
Just, I want you to use your imagination, because when Jesus came, he needed not to continue with this design.
-
He had to completely start with a new design.
-
Now, do you see any resemblance between these two?
-
Why?
-
Because Peter has been redesigned to Edith.
-
Pastor Edith, hello, now Jesus the head is, the head is and Abraham is Father.
-
Remember, father Isaac is promise.
-
He was the promised child, so it's a promise.
-
The feet Heritance.
-
So Jesus has to duplicate all these things because that design is still there, but now it is him who is carrying everything.
-
So, as the head he has introduced to us, the heavenly Father, isaac is the promise.
-
Jesus is the fulfillment of the promise of God.
-
Are we there?
-
Remember it is a redesign and God is not going to allow you to now just be the children of Abraham.
-
He wants you to become the children of God, the Father.
-
If anyone is in Christ, he's a new creation.
-
The old has gone, behold, the new has come.
-
But you know there are people in life who want to just hide here and stay here.
-
That God did away with this, that's what the book of Hebrews is all about, and there are people who just want to stay here.
-
They want to continue singing that song.
-
Father Abraham had many sons.
-
Many sons had father, but God's design from eternity is that he would have sons and daughters that would come through Jesus Christ, and what he's doing here is excellent.
-
What he did here was good, very good.
-
The devil interrupted, interrupted, interrupted, but behind the scenes God was reworking things, changing things, and even when he came through the priesthood, he did not come through the priesthood of Aaron and the Levites because it was already corrupted.
-
He had to come through Judah, the praises of God, and he became our high priest and he's now the one who gave sacrifices.
-
But the sacrifice he gave was not what Aaron used to do, because Aaron used to give the sacrifice of goats and animals and things like that, but when Jesus came as high priest, the sacrifice he had was himself.
-
That's what he gave and that's what God accepted.
-
These ones were temporal for the time being, waiting for this, and when this one came, it became permanent.
-
And so God is saying this is God's demand.
-
He's saying these ones had good promises, but these ones have better promises.
-
That's what is written there.
-
Go back to Hebrews 8.
-
We are relying on better promises.
-
These were good promises, these are better promises.
-
These promises are what God says.
-
They are yes, and they are man.
-
These ones are very conditional.
-
If you do this, I will do this.
-
If you don't do this, I will not do this.
-
Here are blessings and cusses, but here is the Father saying until now you have asked nothing in my name.
-
Ask and you'll receive, and your joy will be full.
-
Here you say ask it will be given.
-
Seek, you will find.
-
Knock the door shall be opened unto you.
-
For whoever asks receives.
-
Here, people who asked sometimes waited forever.
-
Hello, whoever seeks finds.
-
Whoever knocks, the door is opened unto them.
-
This is the redesign, and these people who come out of here are redesigned for greatness.
-
And guess what?
-
You are those people.
-
This is a shadow, a copy.
-
This is the original blueprint.
-
This one has been in heaven for a long time and in the fullness of time.
-
This one was revealed, born of a woman born under the law that we may have the inheritance of heaven.
-
This one was hidden, not from us, but for us.
-
So tell your neighbor, god is not hiding anything from us.
-
Tell your neighbor, god is hiding it.
-
For us, hallelujah.
-
It may be hidden from the devil, but for you, that's why here it says what no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, what no heart has conceived, god has revealed it to those who love Him, who have been called according to His Papas.
-
Here, try your best, things will work.
-
Here, all things work for good To those who love the Lord, who are called according to His purpose.
-
I don't know if you're getting this.
-
What I'm trying to do for you is summarize for you the book of Hebrews.
-
He's trying to tell us God moved from here to there.
-
The old past.
-
The new has come.
-
Old covenant, new covenant.
-
So Jesus, the head, revealing the heavenly father to us.
-
Isaac, fulfilling the promises of God in us, because in Christ he is the yes and the amen.
-
And then our feet, that is Jacob with those 12 sons.
-
He is now giving us the foundations of the kingdom we are inheriting the kingdom Siki.
-
First, the kingdom of God.
-
That kingdom is built on 12 foundations.
-
Are we together?
-
So, design, redesign, design to survive, redesign for greatness, design to be here, redesign to be above and not below, hallelujah, which one would you like to be in?
-
Now, the funny thing is this that many of us actually here, and though this is a reality, we are still thinking with this design.
-
We are still thinking here.
-
It's like taking somebody from the village to town, but the village is not removed from their head.
-
So look at your neighbor, tell your neighbor, be transformed by the renewal of your mind.
-
You have been redesigned, so think like that in Jesus' name.
-
That is why, for quite some time, god was saying you know, you people, your thoughts are not my thoughts, your ways are not my ways, but when Jesus comes, I will write my thought in your mind.
-
That's what he said there.
-
There's a day that is coming that God is going to write these things in our heart.
-
How, here the spirit was with them, with, with In the new design, the spirit is in them here.
-
If the spirit had wisdom now, this person had to depend on this wisdom.
-
If you cosiad the spirit and the spirit left what actually left Wisdom.
-
But here the wisdom is not with you.
-
It is with you, and that's why you don't need another man to tell you what God is saying.
-
That's why you don't need to go to a prophet and say prophet, what do you think God is saying about me?
-
The only time a prophet can tell you what God is saying is because you have been so stubborn, you are hard of hearing.
-
So it needs somebody else to tell you, somebody who is hearing God, to tell you what God was supposed to tell you, which you are not hearing.
-
So look at your neighbor, tell your neighbor.
-
To fungu keroho, to skilizem mungu Hello.
-
And the good thing about this, spirit was now entered into us, has brought the word of God.
-
Jesus said in fact, let me read it as I prepare to finish John, chapter 16, verse 13.
-
You have been redesigned for greatness.
-
I'm saying to somebody right now.
-
It says but when he, the spirit of what Truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth.
-
He will not speak on his own.
-
He will speak only what he hears and he will tell you what is yet to come.
-
Verse 14, he will glorify me because it is from me that he will receive what he will make known to you.
-
Verse 15, all that belongs to the Father is mine.
-
That is why I say the spirit will receive from me what he will make known to you.
-
Jesus went on to say in a little while you will see me no more, and after a little while.
-
You will see me.
-
He's talking to his disciples.
-
They started wondering what will happen.
-
So you get to me here.
-
The spirit was with them.
-
So sometimes Abraham would hear Abraham would not hear.
-
Isaac would hear Isaac would not hear.
-
Isaac would want to go to Egypt and God would have to tell him stay here.
-
Apomigou Jacob, one of the most stubbornest people on the planet.
-
In fact, the word Jacob means what?
-
Conman?
-
I just say it.
-
I just say conman.
-
He was conning his way out and in the process he found another conman who conned him thoroughly.
-
He ended up with two wives and two others, so he had four.
-
And still God used him because God was preparing another design.
-
In this design, jesus is not a conman.
-
What he says he will do, what he declares he will establish, for he is not just receiving information, he is the truth himself.
-
And when you get to know him, you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.
-
And therefore now those who are born through Jesus have been redesigned for greatness.
-
Are we together?
-
They had a design how to change?
-
There was an upgrade Tell your neighbor, upgrade.
-
But the upgrade was so serious that now you cannot compare this to that it's totally different and that is why I pray that you will get to know this Jesus.
-
Get to know this Jesus, yes, but find out what used to happen before, but don't stay there.
-
This was important because this one was preparing for this, but now this one is the accepted original copy in the heavenly realms.
-
So if you need a father, let Jesus reveal to you his father.
-
When you need promises to be fulfilled, come to Jesus, the one who fulfills God's promises.
-
If you want an inheritance, come to Jesus, who says I came that you may have life and have it in abundance.
-
If you can make that shift, let me tell you this you will start working in what we call redesigned for greatness.
-
No wonder the Bible says this in Galatians, before I let you to sit down.
-
In Galatians, it says this Maybe it will make sense when you begin to read this Galatians 2.20,.
-
At least, let me read Galatians 2.20 and then I'll read the other one.
-
Galatians 2.20 says I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me.
-
The life I now live in the body.
-
I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
-
Are we there.
-
Now go to Ephesians 3.11.
-
It says this about Moses, because that system needed to be sorted out.
-
It says clearly no one who relies on the law is justified before God, because the righteous will live by faith.
-
So in this system, the righteous live by what Faith?
-
In this system, the righteous live by the law, but these people are always breaking the law.
-
But these ones who are not living according to law, they're living according to life.
-
They just live this life.
-
The just shall live by faith and faith alone.
-
Then it says in the next verse, verse 12, the law is not based on faith.
-
On the contrary, it says the person who does these things will live by the law.
-
Now Christ shows up and the Bible says Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law.
-
So Jesus comes, this Jesus, he comes.
-
He redeems us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us.
-
For it is written, cast is everyone who is hung on a pole or a tree.
-
He redeemed us, cici, I'm about to list all your kakai system in order that the blessing given to Abraham, that had been promised to Abraham long time ago, might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith, we might receive the promise of the Spirit.
-
For if the inheritance next verse for if the inheritance depends on the law, then it no longer depends on the promise, but God, in his grace, gave it to Abraham through a promise that was Isaac.
-
Why, then, was the law given at all?
-
It was added because of transgressions, until the seed to whom the promise referred had come.
-
The law was given through angels and entrusted to a mediator.
-
A mediator, however, implies more than one party, but God is one the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
-
But scripture has locked up everything under the control of sin, so that what was promised being given through faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.
-
Before the coming of this faith, we were held in what Custody?
-
Tell your neighbor when you're here, you are under custody.
-
When you're here, the prison doors are open.
-
Hello, you're under custody Under the law, locked up until the faith that was to come will be revealed.
-
Keep going.
-
So.
-
The law was what Our guardian, until who Christ came, that we might be justified by by faith.
-
Now that this faith has come, now that this faith has come, now that Jesus came, now that this faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian.
-
So stop chasing the law.
-
Are you nuttering this?
-
Stop sitting where he says I'm supposed to do this, I shouldn't do this.
-
There's more than that.
-
Look at the next verse.
-
So, in Christ Jesus, you are all children of God.
-
Through what?
-
Not through trying to accomplish anything through faith in Christ.
-
It says the next verse For all of you who are baptized into Christ have clothed yourself with Christ.
-
In this system, there is neither Jew nor gentle, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
-
If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's seed and heirs according to the promise.
-
What I'm saying is that as long as an heir is underage, he's not different from a slave People who are here as slaves, although he owns the whole estate, the heir is subject to guardians and trustees until the time set by his father.
-
So also when we were underage, we were in slavery under the elemental spiritual forces of the world.
-
But when the set time had fully come, god sent his son, born of a woman, born under this system, to redeem those under this system, that we might receive the adoption of sons.
-
And now, because we are sons, god sent his spirit of his son into our hearts, the spirit who calls out Abba, father, you are no longer a slave slave here, but God's child.
-
And since you are his child, god has made you also an inheritance.
-
An inheritance, you know.
-
This has been a Bible study.
-
Hello, today I was not trying to inspire you, I was trying to teach you that you may know beyond a shadow of a doubt.
-
You are redesigned.
-
Re-designed because there was a God's design, which I've talked about, then God's demand, which is based on better promises.
-
Then God's delight, as I finish, is this that God may have uplifted people.
-
Let me read this Hebrews, chapter 8, verse 10 to 12.
-
Then I'll close this.
-
He says this Peter, are you catching this?
-
The head stands for what, father, which father?
-
Abraham?
-
And then the body here stands for the promise is what?
-
Who?
-
Isaac.
-
And then the feet, jacob.
-
An inheritance.
-
Okay, now, all those three are made into one person, and that person is Jesus Christ, who reveals the Father, who fulfills the promise and gives us the inheritance.
-
This one person, his name, is Jesus.
-
So this verse says this this is the covenant I will establish with the people of Israel.
-
Once I declare the Lord, I will put my laws in their minds.
-
Now, these are the people who will be born here.
-
I will put my just go back, I will put my laws into their minds and write them on their hearts.
-
I will be who, the God, and they will be what.
-
No longer will they teach their neighbor or say to one another the Lord, because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, for I will forgive their wickedness and I will remember their sins no more.
-
And that is why the people who come here is what the Bible says for you are a chosen generation, a royal priest.
-
There was no royalty here, it's just for the Abraham and Isaac and Jacob the con man.
-
Here is Christ, out of Christ, a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, who are called to declare the praises of him, who call them out of darkness.
-
And then he says for once you are not a people, but now you are the people of God.
-
Once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.
-
So where would you like to be?
-
Remember it is a choice.
-
Some of us are already here.
-
In fact, all of us are already here.
-
The only challenging thing is what we are still thinking.
-
With which mindset this, the old mindset?
-
So be transformed by the renewal of your mind.
-
Here there is.
-
We are more than conquerors.
-
Here we are trying our best to win.
-
Hello, here my God shall supply all my needs according to his riches in glory.
-
My son, I'm a daughter.
-
When I ask for bread, I get bread, hallelujah.
-
His promise says ah, yes, amen here.
-
By the way, isaac Isaac got married to Rebecca.
-
You remember, do you remember?
-
Isaac married Rebecca when he was 40.
-
He was 40 years.
-
They got their children when, after 20 years, isaac had prayed, prayed for 20 years, when Jacob and Esau were born, he was how old?
-
60.
-
Let me tell you this here there is a lot of waiting.
-
Here there is acceleration, amen, amen.
-
Here there is delay.
-
Here there is delay, no more Amen.
-
Here is soon, soon and very soon.
-
Here, here, suddenly.
-
Now, come up here, now, take your portion Now.
-
Here the just shall live Faith.
-
Here they shall live by the law and the system that God did away with.
-
So shift your mind.
-
All who come through Christ have been redesigned for greatness.
-
May that be your portion.
-
In Jesus' name.
-
Now let's give God a big hand, amen.
-
So, while you're here.
-
Think according to the new design While you're here, see according to the new design.
-
While you're here, walk according to this new design and when you're here, achieve according to the new design, the oldest past.
-
It was good.
-
It was good, but God did away with it to establish the new.
-
So Jesus fulfilled everything that was needed here and then he died.
-
When he rose again, he rose again here, completely new, fulfilling the past and introducing the new.
-
That's where we live.
-
That's why we can have hope when everybody else does not have hope.
-
That's why we can have faith when the facts don't line up.
-
That's where here is when we can have love, when we don't feel loved at all.
-
Right here, and that's where I want to be.
-
I want to walk.
-
Hold my hand this one, this one.
-
I want to walk with Jesus.
-
This is Jesus.
-
I want to walk with Jesus.
-
I want to walk with Jesus.
-
I want to be close to his spirit, who is already inside me.
-
Bye, bye to Father Abraham.
-
Welcome my heavenly Father.
-
Amen.
-
So let's appreciate Peter, let's appreciate Pastor Edith.
-
God bless you, salah.
-
Stand up Now.
-
Those watching online, you may also stand up, but I pray that you have learned something, a lot.
-
I believe that as we continue talking about this design and the redesign, you'll know who you are.
-
You have been redesigned for greatness, amen.
-
You set your minds on things above and not on things below, where Christ is seated, because right now you are seated with Christ in the heavenly places.
-
Don't walk with the guilt of this system.
-
He set you free, and if the Son sets you free, you're free.
-
Indeed, you have been upgraded to a new level.
-
That's why God spoke to John and said come up here, come up here.
-
The Bible says that once he entered into that realm of the new system that God had created and this system is permanent there's nothing else that is going to be created Jesus is the final fulfillment of the promise of God.
-
Amen.
-
May you walk in him.
-
You walk in you In Jesus' name I love.
-
That's why it is important to be saved.
-
If you stay in this system, you can do good things, like Abraham did, like Isaac did, like Jacob did, but you will die in your goodness.
-
Here it's not about goodness, here's about righteousness.
-
Seek him first.
-
The kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these other things shall be added unto you.
-
You know.
-
That should give you something to shout about.
-
That should give you something to shout about.
-
Even here, your language changes.
-
Here, your language is why me, why me, why me, why me?
-
Here the language is very different.
-
I'm seated with Christ in the heavenly places.
-
The Lord is my portion.
-
He's my delight.
-
I'm the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.
-
Your language has shifted.
-
Here, the devil is after you.
-
Working hard, adam, you're being deceived, you're disobeying.
-
Here, the truth is setting you free.
-
Glory to glory, strength to strength, favor to favor.
-
Hallelujah, that is your portion.
-
That is your portion.
-
So remember, there's God's design.
-
It's excellent.
-
There's God's demand, based on better promises.
-
There's God's delight, who is delighted to bring about uplifted people, the people of God.
-
Father, we thank you so much for your word.
-
Night has been a teaching night, so that we can understand this word of God, and as we understand it, because the Bible says by wisdom.
-
A house is built by understanding, it is established by knowledge.
-
Its rooms are filled with precious treasures.
-
Indeed, let this wisdom walk with us tonight.
-
Walk with us through the situations and the challenges we may be facing, because in Christ, we are more than conquerors.
-
In Christ, nothing can separate us from the love of God.
-
In Christ, we have been redesigned for greatness.
-
That is our portion, that is how we are going to talk, that is how we are going to think, that is how we are going to walk and that is how we are going to achieve victory in our situations and our circumstances no longer fallen short of the glory of God, now filled with the glory of God.
-
That is our portion.
-
Lord Jesus, thank you for the sacrifices you made.
-
Thank you that you became a high priest, but as a high priest you gave your own life as a sacrifice.
-
But, thank God, it was received by God and on the third day you rose from the dead and now you have a new generation of people who have life everlasting.
-
Oh God, thank you.
-
Thank you for Jesus, and tonight, even as I bless you and as I pray for you, may God really minister in your life and through your life.
-
This week, may you live by your new design.
-
You have been redesigned for greatness.
-
Do not walk in guilt anymore.
-
Don't walk in shame anymore.
-
Yes, at that time the glory had left you, but now the glory has filled you.
-
No more shame, no more guilt.
-
In Christ, your sins are forgiven to be remembered.
-
No more as far as the east is from the west.
-
So has it removed your sins and now he has clothed you with his righteousness and now you are approved before God on a daily basis, on our hourly basis, every second.
-
God has approved you.
-
May that be your portion.
-
Receive it tonight.
-
Receive it tonight.
-
Somebody better receive it tonight.
-
Jesus name, jesus name and God's people say amen.
-
Come on, let's give God another big hand.
-
Amen, amen.
-
Yes, he's a good man.
-
Look at your neighbor.
-
Tell your neighbor there's a cup of tea, so take the tea.
-
Don't take the cup, mutuachev yi kombay, but take the tea and enjoy fellowship.
-
Those watching us online so glad you connected with us in these few lessons that set our minds to know God even in a better way.
-
May God bless you so much for being part of this service.
-
Now, each one of us.
-
May God bless you.
-
Give your neighbor high five.
-
Just thank God for them.
-
Appreciate them in Jesus name, and remember what I said about march we are still marching into our.
-
We are still marching into our.
-
Some of you have forgotten March is the month of marching into our miracles.
-
So tell your neighbor I am marching into my miracle.
-
You are going to bump into your miracles.
-
In fact, some of you.
-
In the next 24 hours, something will have shifted Jesus name by tomorrow night.
-
This time you'll be celebrating in Jesus name, yes, because here people waited for 20 years, abraham waited for 25 years.
-
Here they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings like eagles, and there is acceleration.
-
In Jesus name, one more big hand to the Lord.
-
So lift up your hands, as I bless as Father, in the name that is above every name, we are so glad.
-
Those who came came, those who tuned in, online, tuned in, and now, lord, even as we release each other in Christ, I decree this blessing to each one of us.
-
May the Lord bless you.
-
May the Lord make his face to shine upon you.
-
May the Lord be gracious to you.
-
May the Lord cause his countenance to rise up upon you.
-
Indeed, I decree to you that you are blessed.
-
Blessed when you come in, blessed when you go out.
-
Blessed when you rise up.
-
Blessed when you sit down.
-
Blessed in the night.
-
Blessed in the daytime.
-
Blessed in scarcity.
-
Blessed in productivity and a lot of abundance.

You are blessed.
-
You are in another system, your sons and daughters of the living God.

The spirit of the Lord lives inside you and of his fullness you have received.

So walk in that victory, walk in that blessing and notice your miracle is right beside you.
-
Receive it now in Jesus' name.
-
And God's people say God's people say Look at your neighbor, tell your neighbor, surely goodness and mercy shall follow you, even if I don't follow you, and you shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever and ever.
-
There's nothing the devil can do about it.
-
You are blessed to be a blessing.
-
You are favored to be favorable.
-
You are lifted to lift others up in Jesus' name, amen, amen.
-
You are going to reach home safely.
-
No weapon that is fashioned against you will prosper.
-
And now.
-
May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with us now and forevermore.
-
Amen.
