-
God is coming soon. Get ready. God is coming soon.
-
Get ready? Can you tell someone by your side? God
-
is coming soon? Get ready?
-
All right?
-
So let's grab our bibles now and open to the
-
book of some fifty, some fifty, some fifty, some fifty.
-
I'll be taking one to six, some fifty one to six.
-
I'll be taking it from three different versions of the Bible.
-
So I like us to pay attention. From NKJV New
-
King James version, the Bible says the Mighty One God.
-
The Lord.
-
Has spoken and called the earth from the rising of
-
the sun to its going down out of Zion. The
-
perfection of beauty God will shine forth. Our God shall
-
come and shall not keep silent. A fire shall devour
-
him before him, and it shall be very tempestuous all
-
around him. He shall call to the heavens from above
-
and to the earth, that he may judge his people.
-
Gather my sains together to me, those who have made
-
a covenant with me by sacrifice. Let the heavens declare
-
its righteousness, For God himself is George. And then you
-
have Sellah right in some versions you have that. Let
-
me read from New International version. He says, the Mighty
-
One God, the Lord speaks, and someone's the earth from
-
the rising of the song to the place where it sets.
-
From Zion perfect in beauty, God shines forth. Our God
-
comes and will not be silent. A fire devous before
-
him and around him, a tempest rages is someone's, the
-
eavens above and the earth, that he may judge his people.
-
Gather to me, my consecrated ones who made a covenant
-
with me by sacrifice, and the eavens proclaim his righteousness.
-
For God himself is George Selah right, let me take it.
-
In the last version, in the Pigeon version of the Bible,
-
the Almighty one way, the God don't talk, You don't
-
gather everybody right from where the sun for their rise
-
go rich where before they go down from mansion way,
-
fine way, where God they shine inside, including our God,
-
they come, and not they quiet at all fire they
-
burn everything. Wait day in way and strong breeze way.
-
They make noise. They around down if they called the
-
evens where they're up, and the head where they're under,
-
so that them go be witnessed. When the gudge in people,
-
he says, make when I bring my people where they
-
where they obeyed me, come those when make covenant with
-
me with their sacrifice. Make the heaven talk about how
-
it takes the judge, because now God good George by himself.
-
Make the ovens talk about in good judgment, because now
-
God be the judge. Made the Lord bless the leading
-
and the hearing of his tour hearts in Jesus name.
-
God is coming. Get ready. God is coming. Get ready.
-
Imagine a day when the sky.
-
Darkings, not because of weather, not because of rain wants
-
to fall, but because the King of all creation is
-
stepping into time. The sun and the moon stands still,
-
the mountains tremble, and every heart stops beating for a moment.
-
It is not a rumor.
-
God in soult is coming some fifty one to sea.
-
Is not a gentle whisper. It is a holy alarm
-
that God is coming. It is the voice of the
-
mighty one God, the law Lord, summon in heaven and
-
the earth. But what is shocking is that this is
-
not a call to the nations alone. It is a
-
summer to his own people, his covenant children. In a
-
world where many Christians have become too casual, everything is
-
just going the way it is and nobody cares. Everyone
-
is living the way a ship pleases. That is the
-
kind of world that we are in. Christians.
-
No longer were God to do things that God.
-
Aspects of them make everything just go, and Christians are
-
to relaxed in their spiritual work. But this sum this morning,
-
it's a holy wake up call to every one of us.
-
She looked Baptist Church.
-
God is coming, get ready, not just for comfort, no,
-
but for judgment, for accountability, and for the revealing of
-
His glory. I hope somebody is ready for the coming
-
of the Lord today. This passage reminds us that God
-
is not distant. God is not far away, no easy, uninterested.
-
God is not a God that is not carrying. It sees,
-
it speaks, and it shines for ePower and all lies.
-
The question is is this Are we're ready to meet.
-
Me if he comes? And not if he comes, but
-
actually when he comes. Because God is coming, get ready
-
today as we open up these six verses of the Bible,
-
I want us to listen, not like those who are
-
spectators at Nigeriagana football match or Chelsea my New games.
-
I don't want you to be spectator this morning, but
-
I want you to listen as those whom God is
-
calling to attention. If you look at the way that
-
some fifty is rendered, it is like a courtroom.
-
Okay.
-
In court room you will have the George. In this case,
-
God himself is the George. In the courtroom you have witnesses.
-
And here you see God calling witnesses. Who are the
-
witnesses that God called in that text? Who are the witnesses?
-
M H, who are the witnesses? Check your Bible? Who
-
are the witnesses? That means nobody was listening. I read
-
three versions of the Bible. You were not listening. God
-
called the witnesses. Who are the witnesses? Can I hear it?
-
Well?
-
You see where the problem of Christians are. Eh, That's
-
what I just said. We are truly laxed. Not in prixels,
-
not a prixaus. Everybody just doing whatever. I've read three
-
versions and have wasted those leaders. We're all here, but
-
we're not listening. Listen because God is coming, get ready.
-
So God caught witnesses the heavens and the earth. They
-
are to witness. And who is the accused in this place?
-
Yes? Yes, the humans?
-
Is that where the Bible says, HM, Those who make
-
covenants within.
-
Okay, the church.
-
If I ask the next question and there is no answer,
-
all of us will stand and you will all listen
-
to me as I'm preaching. Okay, that's what is going
-
to happen. How many of us are here with our bible.
-
There is your bible. Lift it up, Lift it up.
-
If you have your Bible, If you lift it up,
-
even if it is digital, let me see it in
-
your phone. Lift it up.
-
Let me see it.
-
Okay, you see the level of Christianity we're having our generation.
-
When you see the devil coming, When you see the
-
devil coming, you won't even notice until it gets you
-
down because there's no relationship with the world of God.
-
So when I ask my next question and I don't
-
get the kind of response that I need, everybody will
-
stand up until I finish preaching.
-
Amen.
-
So when we want to sing Him, we will sit
-
down and sing the hym seated. After we finish singing him,
-
will all rise again. As secondary will be making announcements.
-
We will all remain standing. I guess that will make
-
us to pay attention. So if your leg is not
-
holding you, well, speak to your leg now, let the
-
leg connect with your breath, and let us check the
-
word of God.
-
Some fifty Get ready, God is coming. Look at this one.
-
The Bible says, the Mighty one God, the Lord speaks
-
and summers the ear from the rising of the song
-
to the place where it says, And in New Conjus
-
version it says, the Mighty one God. The Lord has
-
spoken and call the f from the rising of the
-
song to its going down. That verse introduces God with
-
three strong titles.
-
What are these strong titles? So this is the test.
-
That verse introduces God with three strong titles.
-
Check it? What is just be one? No, don't go
-
to be two? Yes? Yes?
-
Hm?
-
Who is answered for all of you? Who is answery
-
for all of you? So that we know choose the
-
right person to answer yes, Baba, yes, sir Dickison, let's.
-
Say it against us.
-
Okay, okay, thank you very musa random applus for Daddy.
-
Thank you for building them out. All right.
-
So in that text you see the sun is beginning.
-
And by the way, that sam is written by Issaf.
-
All right, you see it at the top of it
-
three strong titles, the mighty one God and the Lord.
-
And that is l yello him yahweh. So in the
-
Imbru Bible that you see it starting l ylo him
-
yahweh manie the mighty One God.
-
And the Lord, showing what the absolute power, the sovereignty.
-
And confidant relationship of this gold God's call to the
-
old Earth. In that verse he says and called the
-
earth from the rising of the song to this setting
-
of it, to the going down of the song. So
-
the calling that we see in that text shows that
-
God's word is not hidden, is not limited.
-
His voice goes around to every part of the world.
-
His voice reaches from one end to the other end.
-
It is a call for attention. It is a call
-
for everyone to hear him. Now listen to this. Perhaps
-
you're in the house this morning and you are not
-
yet in christian I want to give you a reason
-
from this text why you should be a Christian. I'm
-
just somebody is thinking that about this this church. Now
-
everybody should be Christian. Is everybody in the church Christian?
-
No?
-
Okay, so we have all agreed. It is not.
-
Because don't forget that the church is like hospital, right,
-
sick people day. People will know sick day. Among these
-
sick people degree of sickness day. Some now cancer, the
-
good some now comma, headache, fever. But whatever it is,
-
God has solution for it. Listen to church. In case
-
you have not surrendered your life to Jesus, there is
-
an opportunity for you.
-
To do that this morning.
-
And let me give you a reason, one single reason
-
from this text. Baba Barbara Kara. Give me the name
-
of any idol in your place, sir, or from the north,
-
the strongest idol in the north. Yes, yes, sir, Pige. Okay,
-
thank you very muself. Please sit downswirs okay Eige.
-
That's one.
-
Dickness you've heard of, amadioh Okay? Is there any god
-
like okay, mister Patrick, which is the strongest gods of
-
the gods in your place?
-
It can? Okay? Are you aware of that? Okay? I
-
know you're a foreigner. It's a foreign based cross striver.
-
In my own place, there are some gods they called Shangho,
-
and I know many people have heard of Shango before.
-
Did they worship Shango in Ibo land? No?
-
If Shango is being worshiped at all apart from Southwest Nigeria,
-
maybe a little in then a republic because your brothers
-
are there. There may be in Brazil because there are
-
some some people who have this urban culture. They in Brazil,
-
that's what, except for those who have moved from Nan
-
again to other parts of the world that mentioned, I
-
don't even know that God exists but for own videos
-
and those days we used to where we need to
-
we need to watch all his own video when watching it.
-
That's why I got the name. Is that gay and
-
all those things? You will be so afraid. But from discovery,
-
you know all those gods they are actually within the
-
Evio territory. It's not being worshiped here, and I'm sure
-
many of us have not heard.
-
Of that before.
-
Right, What do I want to say that the games?
-
There's one bagging people worshiped?
-
You really want? You don't get one which I share?
-
How about the one from Do State? Hey, oh okay,
-
this is Bannabad. You know that god? You knew it? Okay,
-
who else knew that god? Okay?
-
You also know the god. You've heard of that god's
-
name before? Okay, mention it in the in the north. Okay, yeah,
-
let me hear that man shine, Man shine, yes, okay,
-
the knock terracottas Okay, Okay, all right, okay, thank you
-
very much, thank you very much now, Church, you know
-
what I want to bring out of this. Do you
-
know that all of these gods are local gods? H
-
all of these gods, they are all local gods. But
-
I have one God that is universal. It is international.
-
Overall.
-
And that's why that Bible that in fact, if that
-
is the only thing we're going to talk about this morning,
-
I think I'm done with this.
-
The Mighty One God, the Lord and on him.
-
Yeah wait, wait, I know somebody will say, is a
-
neblew God. No, is the creator of evans and the
-
He is the beginning and the end, the one who
-
knows the end from the beginning, the unchangeable changer, the
-
one who organizes and no body can disorganize, the one
-
who opens doors and nobody can shut it, The ones
-
who controls your life and can decide to change it
-
the way it places. Inact, the Bible says that the
-
heart of the king is right in his hand, and
-
it decides turn it to the right, and the king
-
will go to the right.
-
It turns to this.
-
That's why you have to relax. When is doing what
-
is doing, it is because that heart is in the
-
hand of God. Somebody doesn't believe it you better believe
-
it in the reality of the man way to display
-
all of you will know there alive, because the Bible
-
tells me that the heart of man is desperately wrecked.
-
So what you ask now is not the reality of
-
what he would have done. But because my God, he's
-
see the bonga God, the one in charge. Tell somebody
-
by your side, Jesus is in charge. And so for
-
those of you who are yet to accept Jesus as
-
your Lord and savior, see come and save a universal God.
-
That is the God that we serve. He is the Lord.
-
And look at the way the English version lender says.
-
He says, the m hmm. What does that mean in English?
-
When you put a the what does that mean in English?
-
No? No, no, no, no not Now.
-
Let me read this is this way. Let me read
-
this this week it is we call it article in English.
-
Let me read this week. If I read it A
-
mighty one God, a lord. Hm that is indefinite, right,
-
because if I say a mighty one, it means that
-
there are other mighty ones, but it's one of the
-
mighty ones, right, A mighty one. If I say a lord,
-
it means there are other lords. But it's just one
-
of them. But look at the way the Bible mighty
-
one means that no equal Ah, no equal So when
-
you're placing, and that's why when the Bible.
-
Says king of Kings, no level D.
-
Not be the same level D, the Bible is saying
-
that this God is not a local God.
-
Is not a tribal deity. The terracotta gods and all
-
of these.
-
Tribal deities shall God is a tribal deities, is very local,
-
very local.
-
Have an international. God is universal God.
-
He is the ruler of our creation from the rising
-
to the setting of the song. Therefore, as Christians, we
-
must recognize that God's authority extends over every nation, every people,
-
and every heart, including ours. God has authorities over our hearts.
-
And listen, we are accounting. Go to him not only
-
as savior, but what as a judge? But as a judge?
-
What is the lesson? I want us to speak from here?
-
That texts since again the mighty one God, the Lord,
-
what's the next thing after that? Look at your Bible.
-
Now MHM.
-
Has spoken as spoken of all of the other gods,
-
which one of them has ever spoken? Only lets what
-
you please? Manipults by some demonic spirity to say. None
-
of them can talk, none of them can say anything.
-
But hey, the mighty.
-
One God, the Lord as do what has spoken? And
-
when you say, look at that word has spoken again
-
has spoken? What does it mean? That carries what we
-
call finality, meaning that it is donal, meaning that anything
-
with God don't talk, you don't say true. You remember
-
that song forever, Oh Lord? What is said to in
-
heaven is said to forever.
-
For heaver, Oh Lo, my word is said to in heaven,
-
it is said to.
-
It shows finality, It shows finality. He has spoken.
-
God is not silent like many of us. We think.
-
Is speaks with power, with purpose to our creation. God
-
has spoken. God is speaking. God will speak. I feel
-
a sense to stop the messaging. I wanted to go
-
through the sixth verses. I think we should stop it.
-
Which of the.
-
Gods is your God? Which one of them are you saying?
-
Joshua said to the people of Israel, choose this day
-
whom you will say, whether the God of the Amorites,
-
of the Gigashins, of the Canaanites, and.
-
All of the Parisides, and all of them. But as
-
for me and my house, we were served the Lord.
-
That was a decision that he made, a commitment and
-
final commitment that for the rest of his life he
-
was saved the Lord exactly. People of God, whom are
-
you set out to, sir?
-
Is it God? Is it the Mighty One.
-
God, the Lord? Or some other God? Perhaps because you
-
are bearing the name Christian. Now you're bearing the name Mary,
-
you are bearing the name Joseph, you are bearing the
-
name the Crier, you are bearing the lady my Nassy,
-
and everything is completed in your mind. It is not
-
by name that you enter the Kingdom of God. M
-
It is not by name that you become me Christian.
-
It is by relicious. It is by relicious. Exactly which God?
-
Do you say?
-
Which of the God is the Lord of your life?
-
I want to invite someone, this Morney, who is ready to.
-
Drop all other goats? That song says, all other goats,
-
they are the worlds on me. You are the God,
-
yea is Come on, come out from among them. I'm
-
being separate.
-
The Bible says, there's a way that says right a man,
-
But the end thereof is destruction. Which God is your God? Exactly?
-
Who is your God? Do you know there are other
-
gods that many of us don't know their gods, but
-
many of us actually save them. Can I mention those
-
gods to you? There is a god that is inside
-
the trophy boto?
-
How many of us save that god? How many of
-
us save the god inside?
-
They can't climb bo to? Where are the worshipers? I
-
know you're in the house, shout al luja? Why are
-
you asheal? You have to be confident of your God.
-
You have to be confident of your God, because that
-
was exactly Elia said on Mount Carmel, and he told
-
the worshiper of Bear.
-
Let us know who is the Lord, whether it.
-
Is bad.
-
Or the God of Israel? Which of the god is yours?
-
I know some people will be ready to worship another
-
god later this evening, maybe when Chelsea.
-
And one other team is playing. They we're gonna worship
-
that god.
-
There is nothing you can use to distract them.
-
Who is that god that you said? Or what is
-
that god that you say?
-
Whatever has become the number one in your life, it's
-
your God. Can without out our heads and just set
-
yourself this morning. Perhaps you have not taken time to
-
even think about it. Can you just set your heart
-
this morning. Who exactly is your God? Is it the
-
Mighty One, God, the Lord, or some other one who
-
is number one in your life? Is somebody here this
-
morning that is willing to decom from following other gods.
-
And join.
-
The team of God, the team of the Mighty One?
-
Is anybody willing this morning to join the team of
-
the Mighty One.
-
And drop the party of these lesser gods of self?
-
For some of us we are the gods in our
-
own lives, and God is calling you this morning.
-
Come come recognize that God's authority.
-
Extends over every nation, over every people, over every heart.
-
No one can reduce this authority.
-
Some day, every need show before.
-
Him, and every tongue will confess Jesus' Lord. Must you
-
wait until that day of judgment? Today is a beautiful
-
day for you to surrender to you. If you're willing,
-
then you just step out this morning. Can you just
-
step out this morning and beat the wood behind you? Farewell,
-
and embrace.
-
The cross of Jesus.
-
And embrace the scene of the Mighty Woman, and sing
-
this song.
-
I have decided to pologiesus. I'm decide to phlogiesus.
-
