May we stand for the reading of the Golden Text

Luke chapter number one, verses twenty six through thirty eight.

The Bible says, and in the sixth month, the Angel

Gabriel was sent from God into a city of Galilee

named Nazareth, to a vergin, a spouse to a man

whose name was Joseph of the House of David. And

the virgin's name was Mary. And the Angel came in

unto her and said, Hell, thou art highly favored. The

Lord is with thee blessed, art thou among women. And

when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying,

and casting her mind what manner of salutation this should be?

And the Angel said unto her, fear not, Mary, for

thou hast found favor with God. And behold, thou shalt

conceive in thy womb and bring forth a son, and

shalt call his name Jesus. He shall be great and

shall be called the Son of the Highest. And the

Lord shall give unto him the throne of his father David.

And he shall reign over the House of Jacob forever

and of his kingdom, there shall be no end.

Praise the Lord. Why are we looking for his kingdom?

It's never ended, Then said Mary, unto the Angel house

shall this be? Seeing I know not a man? And

the Angel answered, and sadden to her. The Holy Ghost

shall come upon thee, and the power of the High

shall overshadow thee. Therefore, also that holy thing which shall

be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.

And behold, thy cousin, Elizabeth. She hath also conceived a

son in her old age, and this is the sixth

month with her who was called bearing. For with God

nothing shall be impossible. And Mary said, behold the handmaid

of the Lord. Be it unto me according to thy word.

And the Angel departed from her. May we pray, Heavenly Father,

we understand the purpose of this morning's service. We thank

you for the opportunity and the privilege granted unto us

to dedicate brother Gabriel and Sister Candace's son, Gabriel Adian Valentine.

I pray God that you would anoint the ears of

this thy people, help them to hear what the spirit

of God says unto this group that has gathered here today.

Anoint my mouth set of God at my lips. I pray,

help me to say the things you would have me

to say, nothing more less. May we depart this place

joyfully and not sorrowfully. In Jesus's name. In the church said, Amen,

Praise the Lord. Looking at verse number twenty six, once again,

the Bible said, and in the sixth month, the angel

Gabriel was sent from God into a city of Galilee

named Nazareth. Our text is found in a New Testament

book of the Holy Bible, the Book of Saint Luke.

Most of the children of God present today are very

familiar with the writings of this author. You were familiar

with the fact that this man was a beloved physician,

meaning all whom he attended to during their times of

crisis loved and appreciated him because he knew how to

speak a word that was fitly spoken. The Bible said,

a word that has fitly spoken is like apples of

gold and pictures of silver. There's no doubt he had

great bedside manners. I'm sure this man knew how to

comfort those that were sick and to console those that

had lost their sick family members and loved ones. This

was the cream of the CROs concerning the physician's world.

And I believe, Brother Nathaniel, that God saw there was

a desire in this man's heart to forsake the materialistic

things of this world, which would have been readily available

and at his fingertips, because of how desperate so many

would have been for his service, and how they would

have been willing to spend their entire living for healing.

There's no doubt this man could have abused their finances

and become very wealthy. So rather than being a millionaire,

he wanted to be a messenger. So we find him

yoking up to men like the great Apostle Paul, and

interviewing eye witnesses, people that traveled with the Lord, people

that knew a lot about that heavenly messenger, the Messiah,

and his message. And he fell in love with the Lord,

and he abandoned his family practice, his occupy patient that

of a physician and making a lot of money, and

he decided to be one that would deliver the message.

Brother Gabriel, about nine months ago, I was praying, and

I was asking the Lord to speak to me concerning

your son. And as sure as I'm standing here, the

Lord revealed to me that it is possible for him

to become a mighty messenger for the Lord, that he

could be a warrior of words, a man that is

extremely wise and wily in speaking the words of truth.

And no doubt, Luke the Beloved Physician was such a man.

When you read his two writings, the Volumes of Luke

and Acts, you realize that this man was not supposed

to be an ignorant and unlearned person. This was not

a man that got his education because he traveled with Jesus.

This was not a man that got his anointing and

was able to put pen to parchment and write the

rest of the Bible. This was a man that was

highly and multi talented, and a man that made a

decision to follow the men of God who had tucked

under their arm the Gospel message. And he was a

blessing as a traveling companion to the Apostle Paul. There

is no doubt in my mind whatsoever that having a

position whom everybody loves is a blessing to have on

your ministry team. And so today he is a blessing

to us as the author of this sacred writing. Truly,

he was a man of endurance, a man of strength,

a warrior of God. He was a warrior of words.

When I look at his entry words, at the Book

of Acts, the way he opened that writing to us,

I can tell that this man was.

A warrior of words.

He had a way like no other of getting his

message across. He was a warrior of God through words.

He is an oracle or a mouthpiece of God. Unto

this day, both Luke and the Mighty Archangel Gabriel were

messengers of the Almighty God.

Can I tell you there is no greater occupation.

In this world available for any man or woman today

other than that of being a messenger of the Lord

Savior Jesus Christ. And as I sought the Lord months

ago about this service, again this came to me. The

Gabriel Adian can be a warrior with words like the man. Apolus,

a native of Alexandria. The Bible said he was very

familiar with the Baptism of John, and he knew that

Messiah was coming. And because he was a man of

eloquent speech, a man that was very very knowledgeable concern

earning the message and the ministry of John the Baptist.

He appears on the Sacred writ as a mighty warrior

of words, not just to his words. Apostle Paul said,

I did not come with excellency of speech. I did

not come to tickle the years of mankind or womankind.

But I came in demonstration and in power. And we

know that this man, Apolos, he needed an anointing, even

though he was able to persuade people to leave paganism

and substitute it for Judaism, and eventually to persuade people

to leave Judaism and substitute it for Christianity. The apostles,

they let him know, you need power that comes from God.

You need the end dwelling of the Holy Ghost.

In the earthly ministry of Jesus, Jesus selected seventy disciples.

Fifty eight of them defected eventually, and he was left

with twelve disciples to carry his divine message. And these

men publicly share the good news of the Messiah's mission

and message. And so this name Gabriel is a Hebrew

name meaning God.

Is my strength.

If you look at our Golden text again Luke chapter

number one, in verse number twenty six, the Bible reads

like this, and in the six month the angel Gabriel

was sent from God into a city of Galilee named Nazareth.

Notice the calling, and it was a calling from God.

Notice it was of divine appointment. The Bible said, it

is in him we live and move and have our being,

meaning it's in him we have our strength for existence.

And so this angelic being, Gabriel was sent by God.

Since I was a little boy, I've heard people discourage

messengers who claim to be messengers of truth but lacked

endurance and lacked strength for the journey. They've told him

to sit down and learn and pray and get a

relationship with God until you have an anointing on your life,

and until you have that heavenly calling. Apostle Paul spoke

of himself. He said, I was obedient to the heavenly calling.

And I've heard those same elders scold young ministers over

the years, and they've said things like, I feel like

your mama called and Daddy sent. All the difference it

makes when someone has been sent by God. The Bible

goes like this concerning the messenger John the Baptist, there

was a man sent by God, and so we know

Gabriel was sent by God. In the strength of his creator.

This angelic being lived and moved, and at some point

he was commanded by God to make an announcement that

would change and alter the course of mankind. And the

first person who would learn of this most important.

News was not Herod.

It was not an emperor of a pagan kingdom, nor

was it a member of the Sanhedrin in Jerusalem. It

was to a woman of modest means, a woman of

a lowly state of mind, in other words, not a

prideful person, but a humble person. The angelic being Gabriel

appeared to a virgin girl named Mary, who lived in

an insignificant town. And so we know that the messengers

of God not only are called of God and operate

within the strength of God, they will operate without fear

or favor. They will be people that do not show

partiality or favoritism. They will be a person that believes

that His kingdom is not of this world, but that

His kingdom is within people of all nations. There is

hope for all nations. And so I know this little

town seemed insignificant at that time, But concerning prophecy that

had been passed down throughout the age, of sister Howell.

Those that knew their Bible, those that knew the will

and the plan of God, knew that it was very

significant that this angelic messenger would appear to this virgin

girl in an insignificant town. And it was a message

for Mary, and then it was a message for mankind.

That's right, even for you and I that are here

today sitting in these pews. This messag sins gable delivered

that day would be warmly received by the humble, and

one day that same message would be despised by the

HAUGHTI herod, it would also be despised by the haughty

High priest. A chosen messenger will gladly carry the message

to the least, the lost, and the lonely. After all,

that was the mission of our Savior, was that the

poor had the Gospel preached to them, and that nobody

was overlooked. He is an all inclusive God. He's not

willing that anyone of any nation perish. It is his

desire that people of all nations would come to him.

And so he came himself into a world that did

not warmly welcome him. He came into a world that

recognized him. Yet rejected him. He came and dwelt amongst

the Lord. Yes, people such as you and I, And

to this day he is no respector of persons. Every

person of each tribe and nation can praise His holy name.

They can embrace his righteousness because our righteousness is as

fuilthy rags, and they can serve him in the beauty

of holiness. Oh, that every person who claims to be

the Lord's messenger would be as reliable as the archangel

Gabriel was them, and as reliable as he is to

this day. I've seen a lot of preachers not be

a good steward for the things that God has entrusted

to them. I've seen people not be faithful unto the end.

I've seen them abandon their post of duty. I've already

said Jesus handpicked and selected seventy disciples, and fifty eight defected.

But among this there were twelve that were faithful. How

many of you know it is required in stewards that

a man be found faithful. Concerning our Christian stewardship, it

is of the most necessity that we are faithful. Not

only are we faithful to church or faithful in attendance

to the House of God. It is important that we

are faithful to deliver the message. We must deliver the

whole counsel of Almighty God. As I read through the

first chapter of Luke's Gospel, I saw certain words that

were spoken by Gabriel, and I believe that Mary believed

every word that was given him by the Lord.

And he was to speak to Mary what was given.

Now listen, every word that Gabrael spoken proceeded out of

the mouth of God. And the Bible said that any

man that speaks should speak as the oracle of God

with the boldness, come on, not with shyness, not with backwardness,

not with bashfulness, but as Moses when he approached Pharaoh,

with holy boldness. The Bible said that the righteous are

as bold as a lion. Now, God had taken the

Moses through the school of humility for about forty years.

He had been parked in the desert of Midian, and

over there he lost some of that starchiness, and he

lost about all of that pride that he would have

had as the son of Pharaoh's daughter. That didn't please

him at all, And so he enters the wilderness. And

after forty years this man of a broken spirit approaches

the palace, but he does not do it in a

whippy way. He approaches with a holy boldness, and he

puts a finger in the face of the act of Pharaoh,

and he says, God said, let my people go. Oh,

that baby Gabriel Adian Valentue could be such a messenger

that would tell people the whole truth and nothing but

the truth. So help him God, the Bible said, we

must speak truth with love. I'm not asking him to

be the enemy of anybody, and I am not the

one paving the path that he will walk.

But I feel like God wants to use this young man.

If his parents will train him up and the way

that he should go, If they would bring him up

in the nurture and the admonition of the Lord, it

they were sow good seeds into his life. It they

would teach him the scriptures while he's young. The great

Bishop Timothy was told by the Apostle Paul to stir

up the gift that was already within him, because of

Apostle Paul mentoring him, because of Apostle Paul laying his

hands on him and praying for him, but also because

of the example and the witness of his grandmother and

his mother Unsi and Lois.

It's gonna be very important.

To Dad and Mom continue to be messengers of truth

and that they continue to bring baby aid in iPAH,

in the nurture and the admonition of the Lord. So

I see these words that were spoken, and we know

they came from God, and Brother Jesse, I've heard people

before say I know what God's word says, but I

am not at all okay with repeating it in the

ears of parishioners. I'm not okay with recitement to those

that pass by as I preach on the street, and

we ask him the question, why will you not deliver

the whole capsule or every word of God that God

has spoken? And a lot of times we say it

is because of fear. The Bible said, if thou faintest

in the day of adversity, thy shrink this small. This

is one of the most impotent, meaning the most powerless

generations that I have ever laid eyes upon. It is

a spoiled, rotten generation. We can take you overseas and

take you to nations of third world class and show

you people that are tough, people that are not easily offended.

The Bible said, concerning those that are easily offended, like

winning them is like trying to pull somebody out of

a castle or trying to pull somebody in a cage

through the bars of that cage. It's nearly an impossibility

to reach those that are easily offended, and those that

want a hard bitterness, and those that are looking for

an excuse why they can't go to church, of why

they can't listen to the messenger of the messenger. This

is a thin skin of generation. But it does not

matter which generation you're preaching to, whether it's the thick

skin generation of World War two or the.

Thin skin generation that you and I live in.

We are commanded, as mandated by God, to speak the truth. Now,

I want you to know these words would have been

mysterious words being spoken to this Vergin girl in the

middle of the night. They would have been hard to swallow.

They would have choked her up a little bit. There's

no doubt about it. And I'm telling your brother Jesse.

She sensed that she wasn't being lied to. She sensed

who was in her presence. She sensed who was there.

She realized he's a faithful messenger, and by the words

that he spoke, she was able to trust him. You

can desern a wolf in sheep's clothing by the words

that they speak. When they're talking about materialistic things and

moneys and mansions more often than they're talking about the

Messiah and his message, you can know where their heart lieth.

So neither Luke, nor Apostle, Paul, nor Jesus desired an

earthly kingdom. They didn't desire the riches of this world.

And here's Mary hearing that the King of all kings

desires to be planted inside of her being, and Brother Nathaniel,

she receives it as a gift of the Lord. Brother

gave a sister Cannis. I believe you have received baby Gabriel,

Ady and Valentin as a gift from the Lord, as

hand of the mother of Samuel received him as a

gift by the Lord. And one Peter, chapter number four

and verse number eleven, and.

It reads like this.

If a man speak, let him speak as the oracles

of God. And if any man minister, let him do

it as of the ability which God giveth, that God

in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ. Can

I tell you that if Jesus Christ had have established

a kingdom in this world, Judas would have let it

go to his head, and so would the other disciples

if they had been granted positions in the Messiah's cabinet,

if he had installed them in positions and established an

earthly kingdom.

But Jesus was letting them know, my kingdom is not

at all of this world.

And I see a lot of people they fall to

the almighty dollar. And I left the compastor a church

in LaBelle, Florida that was running four people, because brother Jesse,

I saw value and souls more than value in that company.

And the God of Heaven has spoken to my heart.

I knew he was speaking words of truth. And he said,

if you don't do what I've told you to do,

I'll raise up another. And if you don't do what

I've called you to do, I'll call somebody else. And

if you don't do what I've commissioned you to do,

I will commission another. That's why Apostle Paul, which was

Christianity's greatest persecutor, said, you know what, I realize now,

it's been all about position. It's been all about friendships.

It's been all about loyalty to the wrong people. It's

been all about my friendships with members of the Sanhedrin,

It's been all about job security. But now I'm gonna

be obedient to the heavenly calling, and I'm going to

take this message to the jew and the gentile alike.

I wonder did he lose some.

Christine property in Jerusalem that day whenever he left being

Christianity's greatest persecutor and became Christianity's the greatest promoter? Did

he lose a lot of friends that day when he

began to preach the words of Jesus without a doubt?

He lost ninety nine percent of his friends, and he

faced uncertain times. That's what Mary was facing, uncertain times.

How am I going to be accepted? I do not

know a man? How is Joseph that I love my soulmate?

How is he going to a are y all ready?

How is he going to assess this situation? Is he

really going to believe me?

Is he really gonna handle this well?

Is he really gonna accept this after his assessment? But

Gabriel was a faithful messenger. Not only did he visit Mary,

he visited Joseph and this messenger from heaven gave both

Joseph and Mary and assurance that everything was gonna be alright.

And to every child of God this morning, I want

you to know his word. Lets you know everything is

gonna be all right. And I would love to see

God use baby Gabriel, Ady and Valentine one day and

know that this brother has went from continent to continent

to continent, like Apoulus, an apostle, Paul and Barnabasa Peter

spreading the truth as a divine messenger, somebody that was

obedient to the heavenly calling.

Hey man.

And so this woman Mary listened to the words of

a messenger of God, somebody that was gonna bring the

good news of the Gospel. And as the oracle of God,

Gabriel shared the wonderful words of a promise. And then

Mary shared these wonderful words of a promise with believers,

promises of protection, promises provision, and so much more. Because

of this messenger's angelic anointing, Mary responded in such.

A wonderful way.

Her answer to the Messiah's offer of the indwelling was

a resounding yes. She was propositioned. The proposal was made

what's about to happen. The gentleman made an announcement. The

Holy Ghost is always a gentleman, always will be a gentleman.

He must be invited, and he must be warmly received.

And she said, thank you for considering the handmaid of

the Lord. Be it done unto me, even as thou

hast spoken, knowing that she may face rejection by Joseph.

Knowing the moment she preaches the message that the angelic

messenger preached to her. The moment she repeats what was

said to her, she might lose a relationship. And that's

what a lot of people do. They know if they

take what they got at church home of their their

their spouse might leave them. They know if they take

what they received at church to some other continent, they

might lose their life. Well, join the club. The Bible said,

all that live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.

Join the club. All of those disciples that lived upon

the earth after the ascension and the departure of Jesus,

a lot of them died horrible death.

Join the club.

In some countries, if they get baptized, they receive a

death sentence immediately upon exiting the river of the lake,

they receive a death sentence. Join the club. It's been

a bloody religion ever since Mary received this news he's

going to be massigned. Everybody knew what's going to happen

to Messiah. Everybody knew he would fulfill the ceremonial ammonial law.

Everybody knew he would die for the sins of the world.

But what was said was said is such an angelic

anointing that it was warmly received.

And she said, be it done unto me?

I would love to see baby Gabriel aid invalient and

grow up to be another Apollos, another Apostle Paul, where

people just can't say no to Jesus, where people would

walk away and say, I wasn't almost persuaded. I was

fully persuaded. That he is the Christ, the son of

the Living God, a warrior with wonderful words. And why

are they wonderful words? Because we're simply repeating his words,

and his words are wonderful words. I desire that the

Lord will use Gabriel aid invalientine to lead someone and

many individuals and their families Jesus Christ. May they allow

Lord to access them the way Mary allowed the Lord

to access her, and I appreciate today the way the

parents have allowed us the privilege and the opportunity to

dedicate their little one to the Lord, to give him

back to the Lord. I saw when Brother Gabel and

Sister Candace first started attending the church. I saw that

Brother Gabriel was missing something we could tell it.

We knew there was a.

God size void in his being, and that he was

dissatisfied with the things of this world. Can I tell

you that money will never satisfy? Can I tell you

the things of this world are not satisfying to anyone?

They are miserable, miserable those that are attempting to satisfy

themselves through the lust of the flesh, through the pride

of the eye, the eye of the pride of life.

As to how they're never satisfied in fact one of

their own and modern times are rock and roll freak declared,

I can't get any satisfaction, but I would love to

be an eyewitness. I hope I live to see it

God using another person as a mighty messenger to take

words of truth to people that need to hear words

of hope and truth and righteousness. I wonder if the

singers could come up and sing this dedication song today?

Could y'all do that?

Musician singers, I want to invite you to stand to

your feet at this time, put your mind upon the Lord.

We slowed it down this morning. That's what we wanted

to do. We wanted to stick with the occasion, do

his occasion to service and dedicate baby Gabriel Adian viol today.

For there's no greater thing they could do with their

child than to bring him back to the Lord. But

I saw them when they came into church missing something,

and today they hold in their hand a promise, and

I want to ask them to be careful with what

they do with that promise. For I feel like it's

God's intentions to use him as a messenger a man

saying it praise the Lord.

I saw too little fee walking in my footsteps. I

heard a little voice.

Asking things I didn't know.

I touched some time n finnger and reached out for direction.

And if he's gone to fall loo me, I need

to know to swear I go.

If he's falllling.

Me the Lord, I need to fall lou If iin alving.

Example, I need a whole lot of your life.

And the save side.

Will influence him for it. I can't fool to lose.

Lord, help me babe rise.

If he's fallowing.

Me, then Lord, I need to fall.

If finallyving example m hm, I need a whole lot

of you line.

And if the st sting will influence him for it,

I came.

A fool to lose. Lord, help me.

May rise, and diffir said take.

Will influence him for it. I can't affool to lose. Lord,

help me.

May rise

Now
