  12. Praise the Lord who wants to thank God for the gift of life?

  13. Who wants to thank Him for his faithfulness, His mercies?

  14. I think today is first match, right?

  15. Yeah. So since the Lord rushed us into

  16. the year 2026, gradually he's seen us through.

  17. And this morning we have every cause to be grateful unto Him.

  18. Amen. We are the Son, so-called.

  19. We are. The essence of God, our rules.

  20. Are washed. In.

  21. The blood of Jesus. We are the essence of God.

  22. If you are here this morning, I want you to declare what you

  23. believe. I believe that I am a child of

  24. God and my ropes are washed by the blood of Jesus.

  25. I am declaring my faith. If you also believe it, I want

  26. you to declare it. We are the sons.

  27. Of God, Hallelujah, we are the Son.

  28. Our rooms are washed in the blight of Jesus.

  29. We. Are the sounds of rooms are

  30. washed in the blight of Jesus? We.

  31. Are. This morning I was thinking

  32. about the criteria God used to select His people, His children,

  33. to call people unto himself. And then one.

  34. I was trying to understand the criteria I couldn't understand,

  35. and I tried to take the place of God and try to see if I should

  36. call people unto myself as God. Who are those I'm going to call

  37. unto myself? I'm going to call those who are

  38. serious with me. I'm going to call those who are

  39. committed to me. I'm going to call those I've

  40. shown mercy and they reciprocate it unto me.

  41. But the Bible is saying that God, whilst we were yet sinners,

  42. he died for us. This morning I'm speaking on the

  43. topic Do not sell your birthright again.

  44. Do not sell your birthright again.

  45. Do not sell your birthright again.

  46. What is birthright? What is birthright?

  47. The special legal and spiritual inheritance bestowed upon the

  48. first born son, typically comprising a double portion of a

  49. father's property. Family leadership and covenantal

  50. blessings. Birthright signifies

  51. responsibility, stewardship and maintaining of the family's

  52. honor. Amen.

  53. Amen. The first person in the Bible

  54. who was giving a birthright is Adam.

  55. When you read scriptures in Genesis chapter one verse 26

  56. downwards, the Bible says after God had created everything and

  57. then he decided in his infinite wisdom to create man and bestow

  58. confide his creation into his sons.

  59. The Bible says that that is room.

  60. Genesis chapter 126 to 31. Then God said, let us make man

  61. in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish

  62. of the sea and the best of the air, over the livestock, over

  63. all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the

  64. ground. So while you read all this, you

  65. see that when God decided to create man in his own image, God

  66. decided to commit his creation. God assigned man as a steward of

  67. his creation and survival is saying that when God created man

  68. he committed. He gave all his creation unto

  69. man and then he told him what he should do because of time.

  70. I will not read all but the point here is that God in his

  71. infinite wisdom could have decided to commit his creation

  72. to any other time. My Bible says after he has

  73. created everything in his infinite wisdom he said let us

  74. create man how? In our own likeness and in our

  75. own image. And so when you read Bible is

  76. saying that when God created man, God breathed into him,

  77. Amen, Amen. So I'm saying that the first

  78. person in the Bible who inherited birthright is Adam,

  79. Amen. And so you could see that God

  80. gave Adam a work to do. God confided his creation.

  81. In other words, when God created Adam, immediately Adam had a

  82. responsibility of taking creation of God's creation,

  83. taking care of God's creation, and in order for man to know

  84. that of a truth, God has given him, confided his creation into

  85. his hand. The Bible says that when God

  86. created man, God told man to name his creation.

  87. God who created his own creation knows why he created them.

  88. The Bible is saying that after he has finished all and then he

  89. created man and he gave his creation to man.

  90. Now God instructs man name my creation.

  91. Hello. So here we see God giving His

  92. authority and power. We see God portray portraying

  93. the inheritance, the birthright He has given unto man Amen.

  94. And survival is saying that when you read Genesis chapter 2 verse

    Genesis 2:18

  95. 18 and 19, the lost God said it is not good for man to be a

  96. Lord. I will make a helper suitable

  97. for him. Now the Lord God had formed out

  98. of the ground all the beasts of the field and all the best of

  99. the air. He brought them to the man to

  100. see what he would name them. And whatever the man called each

  101. living creature, that was its name, Amen.

  102. So whatever name man gave to God's creation, God approved of

  103. it. Amen.

  104. And then while you continue reading, Rival is saying that

  105. after God has given his creation unto man to take care of it to

  106. be a steward, the Bible is saying that God instructed man.

  107. And in fact, if you read when God was giving this instruction

  108. to man, by then the woman was not dead.

  109. And it can be found in Genesis chapter 2 verse 15 and 17 in

    Genesis 2:15

  110. other ways. When God gave the birthright to

  111. Adam, the birthright came with instructions.

  112. Hello, the Lord God. The Lord God took the man and

  113. put him in the garden of Aden to work it and take care of it.

  114. And the Lord God commanded the man, You are free to eat from

  115. any tree in the garden, but you must not eat from the tree of

  116. the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat of it, you will

  117. surely die. Amen.

  118. So after God has given man the birthright, the Bible is saying

  119. that he gave man an instruction. But please take note when he

  120. gave him the instruction not to eat of the tree of knowledge of

  121. good and evil, the Bible is saying that as at that time the

  122. woman was not with Adam. So what does it mean?

  123. What it means is that there are some instructions.

  124. All instructions to birthright are given to those who have the

  125. birthright. Hello.

  126. Instructions attached to birthright are given to those

  127. who are beneficiary submits. Amen.

  128. Amen. And so while you continue

  129. reading, the Bible is saying that when the woman came, if you

  130. read Genesis chapter 3 verse 1 to 19.

    Genesis 3:1–19

  131. Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the

  132. Lord God had made. He said to the woman, did God

  133. really say you must not eat from any tree in the garden?

  134. Now the serpent is asking the lady or the woman Eve.

  135. Now the question here is, was the instruction given to Eve?

  136. When the instruction was being given, where was Eve?

  137. And if truly the devil was interested in the right answer,

  138. why did he not go to the one to whom the instruction was given,

  139. but he chose to go to Eve. Amen.

  140. Amen. The woman said to the serpent.

  141. The woman said to the serpent, We may eat fruits from the trees

  142. in the garden. We may eat fruits.

  143. That's verse 32, Genesis 32, the woman said to the serpent, We

  144. may eat fruits from the trees in the garden, but God did say, you

  145. must not eat from the tree that is in the middle of the garden,

  146. and you must not touch it or you will die.

  147. You will not surely die, the serpent said to the woman, For

  148. God knows that when you eat of it, your eyes will be open.

  149. Now take note here, take note of the response the woman gave to

  150. the serpent. The woman said, That is verse 2.

  151. The woman said to the serpent, We may eat from the trees in the

  152. garden, but God did see we must not eat fruit from the free from

  153. the tree that is in the middle of the garden and you must not

  154. touch it or you will die. Amen.

  155. This is the response of the woman to the serpent or the

  156. devil. Now the question here is 1.

  157. God was given the instruction the woman was not there and one

  158. Satan came wanting to enquire. Satan chose to go to the woman,

  159. and then when Satan went to the woman to inquire, the woman

  160. responded. And if you should look at the

  161. response of the woman, you could see that that is the exact

  162. instruction that was given to Adam.

  163. So what it means is that when the instruction was given to

  164. Adam and the woman was given to Adam, Adam shared the

  165. instruction with the woman. Hello.

  166. Adam shared the instruction with the woman.

  167. In other ways, Adam thought the woman.

  168. And here we see Adam trying to portray leadership as someone

  169. who has inherited God's creation.

  170. God has made him the leader of his creation.

  171. So when the woman was given to Adam, Adam thought Eve, Amen.

  172. Amen. So one of the lessons I want us

  173. to learn here is as leaders, as people of God, as children of

  174. God who have been called by God, we have the responsibility to

  175. teach, just like the way I am teaching.

  176. And one of the instructions that comes, or one of the yes,

  177. instructions that comes with the responsibility of birthright is

  178. to lead and to teach, which Adam of course did.

  179. But take notes when the woman responded to the serpent.

  180. The serpent also went further to convince the woman, and the

  181. woman ate the forbidden fruits. That is not where my emphasis

  182. is, so I will not talk much about that.

  183. But what I want to draw your attention to is that as leaders,

  184. as people of God, as children of God who have been called by the

  185. grace of God, one of the ways we work on our childbirthright or

  186. our birthright is to ensure that every instruction that is

  187. attached to our birthright, we teach it to the generations that

  188. will come after us. Amen.

  189. And so because of time, maybe let me read the ending and then

  190. we move on. And so after they have eaten the

  191. forbidden fruit, if you read the verse 9, but the Lord called the

  192. Lord, God called the man, where are you?

  193. He answered, Where are you? He answered.

  194. So God is dealing with the man and the devil is dealing with

  195. the woman. Who had the forbidden fruit

  196. first is the woman. So when God came, God could have

  197. said, Eve, where are you? But God never confided his

  198. creation into the hands of the woman.

  199. He confided it into the hands of the man, including the woman.

  200. And so when God came, and then he was calling, he said, Adam,

  201. where are you? Amen.

  202. So one of the lessons we can also learn here is that whenever

  203. God is calling, he calls those to whom he has given the

  204. birthright. Whenever God is calling, he

  205. called those to whom he has extended his birthright.

  206. He answered, I heard you in the garden and I was afraid because

  207. I was naked, so I hid and he said, who told you you were

  208. naked? Have you eaten the tree that I

  209. commanded you not to eat from? The man said The woman you put

  210. here with me, she gave me some, She gave me some fruits from the

  211. tree and I ate. Then take note of here God is

  212. dealing with the 1 he extended a birth, the birthright to and as

  213. a result of their disobedience, when God was telling the

  214. consequence, He is addressing it to the beneficiary.

  215. Then God said, the Lord said to the woman, what is this you have

  216. done? The woman said, the serpent

  217. deceived me and I ate. So the Lord God said to the

  218. serpent, because you have done this casts are you above all the

  219. livestock and all the wild animals.

  220. You crawl on your belly and you eat dust all the days of your

  221. life. And I will put enmity between

  222. you and the woman, and between your offspring of hers will

  223. crush her heat, and you will strike his heel to the woman, he

  224. said. I will greatly increase your

  225. pains in childbearing in with pain, with pain, with pain.

  226. You will give birth to children. Your desire will be for your

  227. husband and he will rule over you.

  228. Adam, he said. Because you listen to your wife,

  229. and act from the three about, and adds from the three which I

  230. commanded you, You must not eat of it.

  231. Cast is the ground because of you through painful tell.

  232. You will eat of it all the days of your life.

  233. It will produce tongues and testoes for you.

  234. Let me end here. So here you see that when God

  235. came and then He enquire and then he was responding or

  236. telling them the consequence of what they have done.

  237. From what we just read, you see that God addressed the serpent,

  238. God addressed Eve or the woman, and God address the man, God

  239. address the serpent, God address the woman, and God address the

  240. man. Now the question here is God is

  241. dealing with Adam now as a result of the disobedience that

  242. came disobeying the instruction that is attached to his

  243. birthright. Now when God is telling them the

  244. consequence of what he has done, He address all of them.

  245. What it means is that whenever we fail to maintain, to keep the

  246. instruction that is attached to our birthright, we will not only

  247. face or we will not only suffer the consequence.

  248. Hello, whenever we fail as people of God that He has given,

  249. He has extended His birthright to whenever we fail to obey,

  250. whenever we fail to adhere to the instruction attached to our

  251. birthright, we will not face the consequence alone.

  252. And survival is saying that as a result of what happened, He told

  253. the woman the suffering she will go through and He cares the

  254. serpent. So do not forget that the

  255. serpent is ghost creation. And then he told Adam what he

  256. was also going to face as a result of the disobedience.

  257. I don't want to go deep into record.

  258. That's not my emphasis. And so as a result of the

  259. disobedience of Adam, as a result of the disobedience of

  260. Adam, he sold his birthright. He sold his birthrights and that

  261. of humanity to the serpent. As a result of the disobedience

  262. of Adam. Do not forget, when we talk

  263. about birthright, we are talking about authority, we are talking

  264. about responsibility, we are talking about steward ship.

  265. And so as a result of his disobedience, the benefits, the

  266. glory that is attached to the birthright, he lost it.

  267. Amen. Amen.

  268. There is this song which says that.

  269. I think it's one of the Miracles song.

  270. I'll see Bibi Bibi.

  271. So that we are talking about it came about as a result of sin,

  272. because originally the plan God had for man was that man will

  273. enjoy eternity. Man will never experience death,

  274. Man will never experience sickness.

  275. But as a result of the disobedience of Adam by selling

  276. his birthright to the devil, his authority, his power, selling

  277. it, by doing that, he sold the birthright of humanity to the

  278. devil. And so whatever we are

  279. experiencing on this earth now as a result of suffering, as a

  280. result of sickness, as a result of troubles, challenges, is the

  281. consequence of our grandfather Adam, who sold the birthright

  282. unto the devil. Amen.

  283. Amen. And I want you read scriptures,

  284. Genesis chapter 25, verse 29 to 34.

    Genesis 25:29–34

  285. He talks about Esau. Maybe let me read.

  286. Once, when Jacob was cooking some Stew, Esau came in from the

  287. open country. Famished, he said to Jacob.

  288. Quick, let me have some of let me have some of that red steel.

  289. I'm famished. That is why he was also called

  290. Edom. Jacob replied.

  291. First, sell me your birthrights. Look, I am about to die, Esau

  292. said. What good is the birthright to

  293. me? But Jacob said swear to me

  294. first. So he swore an oath to him,

  295. selling his birthright to Jacob. Then Jacob gave Esau some bread

  296. and some lentil Stew. He ate and drunk and when and

  297. then got up and left. So Esau despised his birthright.

  298. Amen. So here we see Esau who was very

  299. hungry and then came to his brother Jacob and then requested

  300. for some food because he was very hungry.

  301. And Bible is saying that his brother Jacob told him, before I

  302. will give you the food, you need to sell your birthright to me.

  303. You need to sell your birthright to me.

  304. Why was Jacob interested in the birthright?

  305. What is so important about the birthright that if Jacob should

  306. require anything from his own brother, he should be his

  307. birthright? What has he had?

  308. Praise the Lord. And the question here too is

  309. that Esau who owned the birthright, What did he know

  310. about the birthrights? What did Esau know about the

  311. birthrights? Could it be that Esau knew

  312. nothing about the birthrights? And so here we see two brothers

  313. having a conversation and the younger one who knows the

  314. blessings of the first son or the first?

  315. Yes, the blessings the first son carries.

  316. Your own brother comes to you require for food or demands for

  317. food and he gives him a condition and the first brother

  318. ISO the owner of the you cannot say the the birthright.

  319. Listen to his his response. What is birthright?

  320. What is birthright? Do not forget what we talk about

  321. belfry. We are talking about leadership,

  322. we are talking about stewardship.

  323. So from his response you could deduce that Esau will be a very

  324. foolish leader. I don't know if you agree with

  325. me. It is in time of difficulties,

  326. in time of challenges that you know who a good leader is.

  327. In time of difficult, the decisions you take is what makes

  328. you a responsible leader. And so when he found himself in

  329. a situation that he was dying of hunger, I want to believe maybe

  330. he stopped to think and all his intention, his attention was on

  331. the foot. And the Bible is saying that

  332. their brother requested him to swear on boots and he foolishly

  333. did. The rest of the story we know,

  334. but one thing I want us to take notice that as a result of that

  335. he lost his birthrights. So here we see Esau, who sells

  336. his birthrights. And then in Adam, in Adam's

  337. case, the Bible did not write that he sold, but you could see

  338. that from the action he took, from the disobedience, he sold

  339. his birthrights. Amen.

  340. Amen. So when you read the Bible, you

  341. could see that the blessings that was meant for Jacob, all

  342. these blessings were diverted to his brother as a result of the

  343. oath he took. So what it means is that when we

  344. talk about birthright, we are talking about authority in other

  345. ways. Birthright contains authority

  346. and power. And this is what God extended to

  347. Adam. And as a result of disobedience,

  348. they lost it. And we can see in the case of

  349. Esau and Jacob, Amen. Amen.

  350. And so if you read the instructions or what God told

  351. Adam, the serpent and Eve in the garden of Aden, and then you

  352. come to the New Testament one Paul said in Romans chapter 6

    Romans 6:23

  353. verse 23. For the wages of sin is deaf for

  354. the wages of sin is deaf for the payment the reward of sin is

  355. deaf. It confirms what God said.

  356. What it means is that whenever one fails to keep to maintain

  357. his birthright, you will die. Do not forget that when we talk

  358. about birthright, it is given by God.

  359. And when God is given this birthright, God does not ask or

  360. enquire from anybody. So the birthright you have and

  361. the birthright I have, God did not enquire from anybody before

  362. He gave me or before He gave you.

  363. And so the birthright I have and the birthright you have, you are

  364. accountable to God and I am accountable to God.

  365. Praise the Lord. And so Paul put it clear.

  366. He says that for the wages of sin, whenever one fails to

  367. maintain the birthright, what it means is that that person has

  368. fallen, that person has sinned. And Paul is saying that whenever

  369. you get to this stage or you come into this stage, the reward

  370. you receive is death. You die.

  371. And you could see the instruction or what God told

  372. Adam and Eve and the serpent as a result of their disobedience.

  373. Amen. And so maybe let's regional

  374. Romans 620 downwards and we may understand better.

  375. When you were when you were slaves to sin, you were free

  376. from the control of righteousness.

  377. What benefit did you reap at that time from the things you

  378. are now ashamed of? Those things result in death,

  379. but now, but now that you have been set free from sin and have

  380. become slaves to God, the benefit you reap leads to

  381. holiness and the result is eternal life for the wages of

  382. sin is deaf by the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus.

  383. Amen. So the point we are putting

  384. across this morning is that whenever they believe our sins,

  385. whenever the believer sings, he sells, he exchanges, he

  386. exchanges his birthrights to that of the devil.

  387. Whenever the believer sings, he sells his birthrights to the

  388. devil. Whenever the believer sings, he

  389. exchanges his birthright to that of the devil.

  390. Whenever the believer sings, he can no more benefits, He can no

  391. more enjoy the blessings that is attached to the birthright.

  392. When man sowed his birthright, When man sowed his birthright to

  393. the devil. When I say that, what I mean is

  394. when man disobeyed God, God still loved man.

  395. When God, when man failed, disobeyed God and sow their

  396. birthright, God still loved man. And so when you read John 10,

  397. nine to 10 we talks about the reason why Jesus came.

  398. Then nine says that I am the guilt, whoever enters through me

  399. will be saved. And so here John is trying to.

  400. When you read the book of John, what we just read, do not forget

  401. we are talking about the fact that because of Adam, man has

  402. lost his birthrights. And as a result of our sins and

  403. the love of God for us, God sent his only beloved Son, Jesus

  404. Christ to come on the earth. And so when John was addressing

  405. or talking about, he is saying that I am the gates, Whoever

  406. enters through me will be saved. Hello.

  407. So he's addressing people who have lost their birthright, who

  408. have fallen, who are living in sin, who are in the Kingdom of

  409. darkness. How do you regain your

  410. birthright? And so he's saying that I am the

  411. gates. So what it means is that

  412. whenever one comes to the point of knowing and acknowledging

  413. that he has lost his birthright, he has lost his birthright.

  414. In other words, you are a Sinner in other ways.

  415. You have seen when you get to this point and you want to get

  416. up and recover your inheritance and take back your position.

  417. The book of John as you read is saying that I am the gate.

  418. This is Jesus speaking. Whoever enters through me will

  419. be saved. He will come in and go out and

  420. find pastures and I never stand. Jesus continues to say the thief

  421. comes only to steal and kill and destroy.

  422. I have come. That they may have life and have

  423. it in full. Amen.

  424. So Jesus is saying that he has come, that humanity may have

  425. life and have it in full. But you could see that from

  426. since creation, that time, the serpent, the serpent presented

  427. himself to humanity since that time.

  428. You could deduce that the serpent has no other work to do

  429. but to steal, kill and destroy. And So what it means is that

  430. since creation, it is since creation that the devil started

  431. this work of stealing, killing and destroying.

  432. And then unfortunately man fell into the hands of the devil.

  433. But when Jesus came, Jesus is declaring unto humanity, unto

  434. the world, I am the gates. So this morning I'm here to

  435. remind you, I'm here to draw your attention to the fact that

  436. God has created you in his likeness and he has given you

  437. authority and power. But as a result of man humanity

  438. selling their birthright, we became beneficiaries of that

  439. head cuts. Hello.

  440. But when you hear the word of God and you come to yourself,

  441. you come to your senses and you realize what God has made you,

  442. what God made you to be. You can take back your position.

  443. Amen. It is very unfortunate that at

  444. times some people may come to the saving knowledge of Christ.

  445. They are in the church, yet they believe that they need to do or

  446. live like worldly people in order for them to get to the

  447. peak of life. And that is why some people may

  448. come into the church. Some people may be saved all

  449. right, but somewhere, somehow, someway, somehow they end up

  450. selling their birthright. And this is what God has sent me

  451. this morning to come and tell you that the birthright that he

  452. gave to Adam, and then as a result of the disobedience, they

  453. lost it. And then we became beneficiaries

  454. of that result. But through the sacrifice of

  455. Jesus Christ, he has restored us.

  456. He has given us back our back, our birthright.

  457. And that is the reason why this morning, you and I, we have

  458. become people of God. We have become children of God.

  459. God has sent me to come and tell you this morning that do not

  460. sell that birthright again. God has sent me to come and tell

  461. you that the birthright he has given unto you as a result of

  462. the gift Jesus that he gave to humanity as a result of the

  463. sacrifice, do not sell it again. Amen.

  464. Do not sell it again. Do not sell it again.

  465. When you read the Bible, Second Corinthians chapter 5 verse 21,

    2 Corinthians 5:21

  466. it says that God made him sin. God made him who had no sin to

  467. be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness

  468. of God. God made him who had no sin to

  469. be sin for us, so that's in him we might become the

  470. righteousness of God. And so Jesus, who knew not sin,

  471. in order for God to restore us back, in order for us to receive

  472. our birthright, God needed to give out His only begotten Son.

  473. John 316 For God so loved the world that he gave.

  474. And so the reason why God gave, that is what Paul is explaining

  475. here. God gave him so that he who had

  476. no sin, who had never sinned, he would take our sin so that we

  477. will have the righteousness of God.

  478. So from this we can deduce that without righteousness you cannot

  479. maintain your birthright. Hello.

  480. Without righteousness I cannot maintain my birthright.

  481. And so Bible says that because of the love he has for humanity,

  482. he made him. God made him who had no sin.

  483. Please, if possible, I want us to read the scripture together.

  484. Ready go our men, our men.

  485. And then maybe I will read my last scripture.

  486. Then I'll bring my message to a close.

  487. God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in Him we

  488. might become the righteousness of God.

  489. And do not forget, Paul also said again, now for the wages of

  490. sin is death. And so as a result of the sin of

  491. man, man should have died and then lost everything.

  492. And so when you study the life of Jesus when He came on this

  493. earth, do not forget. He came because of you and I.

  494. He came so that He will take our sins away.

  495. He came so that He will inherit our sins, so that we inherit His

  496. righteousness in the process of taking our sin.

  497. Maybe let's read Matthew chapter 27 verse 19 downwards when Jesus

    Matthew 27:19

  498. had brought all His work to a close and then He has told the

  499. disciples what He was to experience.

  500. And then the Bible is saying that as they were dining He even

  501. told them what will happen. He reminded them.

  502. And then Bible is saying that when He was arrested, Matthew 27

    Matthew 27:19

  503. verse 19, when He was arrested and they presented him to Pilot,

  504. because of time we cannot start from one.

  505. While Pilot was sitting on the Judges seat, his wife sent him

  506. this message. Don't have anything to do with

  507. that innocent man, for I have suffered a great deal today in a

  508. dream because of him. But the chief priests and the

  509. elders persuaded the crowd to ask for Barabbas and to have

  510. Jesus executed. Which of you 2 do you want me to

  511. release to you? Asked the governor Barabas.

  512. They answered. What shall I do then with Jesus

  513. who is called Christ? Pilate asked.

  514. They all answered, Crucify him? Why?

  515. What crime has he committed as Pilate?

  516. But they shouted all the louder. Crucify him.

  517. When pilots saw that he was getting no way but that instead

  518. an uproar was starting, he took water and washed his hands in

  519. front of the crowd. I am innocent of this man's

  520. blood, he said. It is your responsibility, all

  521. the people answered. Let his blood be on us and on

  522. our children. Then he released Barabbas to

  523. them. But he had.

  524. But he had. Jesus flogged and landed him

  525. over to be crucified. Then the governor's soldiers

  526. took Jesus into the Prietorium and guarded the whole company of

  527. soldiers around him. They stripped him and put a

  528. scarlet rope on him, and then twisted together a crown of

  529. tongues and set it on his head. They put a staff in his right

  530. hand and knelt in front of him and mocked him.

  531. Hail King of the Jews, they said.

  532. They spit on him and took the stuff and struck him on the head

  533. again and again. After they had mocked him, they

  534. took off the rope and put his own clothes on him.

  535. Then they led him away to crucify him.

  536. As they were going out, they met a man from Cyrene named Simon,

  537. and they forced him to carry the cross.

  538. They came to a place called Golgotha, which means the place

  539. of the school today. They offered Jesus wine to drink

  540. mixed with gold, but after tasting it he refused to drink

  541. it. When they had crucified him,

  542. they divided up his clothes by castle rods, and sitting down

  543. they kept watch over him. There above is the head, They

  544. placed the written charge against him.

  545. This is Jesus, the King of the Jews.

  546. Amen. I believe you all heard the

  547. Scripture. So this is what Jesus went

  548. through. This is what he went through in

  549. order to restore us. This is what Jesus went through

  550. in order for us to regain our birthright.

  551. And so when you read Bible is saying that they more treated

  552. him, they spot on him, they made mock of him as we read.

  553. What crime did he commit? What was his mistake?

  554. He did nothing wrong, but in other for us, in other for

  555. humanity to regain his birthright.

  556. The Bible say that he went through all these things.

  557. He went through all these things, and the surprising thing

  558. is that the people because of whom He came, they were the same

  559. people who were pursuing him, who were shouting crucify Him.

  560. The same people He came to save, They were the same people who

  561. were beaten, who were more treating Him.

  562. And the Bible is saying that He kept His silence.

  563. Why? So that you and I will regain

  564. our birthright? And the Bible is saying that

  565. when He went through all these things and then they hung him on

  566. the cross, and then he died on the third day He resurrected.

  567. And then when He resurrected and the Bible is saying that He has

  568. brought us salvation as a result of his resurrection, when Christ

  569. died, if he had not resurrected, we couldn't have regained our

  570. birthrights and Kaudia. They should just cut his head

  571. and then go and bury him and then on a teddy.

  572. And we know, but look at the process and when you study the

  573. Bible carefully, you could see that all the BTS, all the

  574. processes, the more treatment he went through, they all had

  575. meaning because of time. I would no go there.

  576. But you could see that as he was being more treated, he was

  577. dealing with our sicknesses. As he was being more treated, he

  578. was dealing with our sinful situations.

  579. And the Bible is saying that he has paid the price once and for

  580. all. He has paid a price once and for

  581. all. He has paid a price once and for

  582. all. And as a result of that, the

  583. Bible is saying that whosoever believes in this Son of God

  584. shall have eternal life. And I want to believe that it is

  585. because you have believed in him and I have believed in Him, in

  586. the salvific work He did on the cross.

  587. That is the reason why we have become the people of God, the

  588. children of God. Now that He has brought us into

  589. His Kingdom, now that He has brought us into His church, now

  590. that He has brought us into the lights, the message this morning

  591. is very simple. Now that He has given your

  592. birthright back to you. And sure that you do not sell

  593. your birthright again. Amen, Amen, Amen.

  594. Shall we be on our feet? Ensure that you do not sell your

  595. birthrights again. I see now I'm a miso.

  596. My yo ya me. So.

  597. My Yo ya me by Hallelujah, what's so?

  598. Why Yo ya me by I go? So.

  599. Shall you begin to open your mouth and appreciate God for

  600. what He has done because of you? I want to thank you, our Lord

  601. and our God, this morning. We're coming for you with a

  602. heart of gratitude. If not for you shit, you

  603. children, if not for your sacrifice, for the sacrifice, if

  604. not for serving us, thank you, Jesus.

  605. Oh Lord, this morning we are grateful.

  606. Lord, we come before you, my place, Lord Almighty, with the

  607. heart of gratitude, Jesus, we thank you.

  608. Thank you for making us, your children, my place.

  609. We thank you, Jesus, for saving us.

  610. From the Kingdom of hell. Thank you.

  611. We thank you for delivering us from the Kingdom of darkness.

  612. We thank you for restoring us. We thank you for giving us your

  613. glory. We thank you for reinstating us

  614. this morning. Our heart is full of praise.

  615. Our heart is full of Christ Jesus.

  616. Our heart is full of Jesus, all he has prayed to you.

  617. We thank you in the name of Jesus.

  618. In the name of Jesus, We want to pray once again.

  619. The Word of God assures us that He has reinstated us.

  620. The Word of God assures us that we are the children of God.

  621. We are the people of God as a result of we accepting His only

  622. begotten Son, Jesus Christ, and that is the reason why we have

  623. become His people and His church.

  624. This morning we want to pray as we have received this birthright

  625. as a result of our obedience in accepting the Lord Jesus Christ

  626. and we present ourselves before Him this morning.

  627. What is the status of our birthright, The birthright that

  628. He has extended to you and I as a result of the sacrifice He

  629. made on the cross. What is the status of that

  630. birthright? Jesus, do you still maintain

  631. that birthright? Have you sold it out this

  632. morning? I want you to speak to God.

  633. If you are here and you know the state of your birthright, I want

  634. to believe that the Word of God has come to remind us.

  635. If you have sought it out, if you have thrown it away.

  636. Our God is gracious and merciful.

  637. All you need to do is to be sincere to Him.

  638. If you are in the process of selling it out, God is here.

  639. I just want you to open up your spirit and speak to God this

  640. morning. What is the status of your

  641. birthright? What is the status of my

  642. birthright? He has given us this birthright

  643. so that we will be able to give account of it.

  644. Present ourselves before you, our Lord, and our You are all

  645. going back. You know everything.

  646. About us. This morning we present

  647. ourselves just. As we have us.

  648. We pray in the name of Jesus as you are reminding us through

  649. your way not to sell our birthright if we are in the

  650. process of selling our birthright.

  651. If we have sold our birthright as your way has come to us this

  652. morning, we run back to you and we pray for grace and mess that

  653. you shall restore us. You shall reinstate us in the

  654. name of Jesus, just as I your presence.

  655. I come wait. I know.

  656. Really face gazing out your. Glory Transform.

  657. Me to Christ your son. I can't.

  658. Oh my God bless me. Oh my God bless me.

  659. If you read the Bible, the Bible is saying that this birthright

  660. that he has given unto us, we're going to give account of it.

  661. And so this morning we want to lift a prayer unto God.

  662. And I was saying that when he comes again, he's coming as a

  663. judge. He's coming as a judge.

  664. So this birthright he has given unto us this morning we want to

  665. lift a prayer unto God. I want you to pray a sincere

  666. prayer. God, be gracious unto me.

  667. You know the status of your birthright.

  668. Lord, be merciful. Lord help me so that I will

  669. maintain this birthright. For you, Jesus of Jesus of Jesus

  670. of Jesus of Jesus of Jesus of Jesus of Jesus of Jesus of mercy

  671. of the Bible says as a result of his sacrifice, he has taken our

  672. robe of sin and he has put on us his rope of righteousness.

  673. And he's expecting that we will maintain this rope of

  674. righteousness, righteousness until he comes, that he will

  675. come and meet us in this rope of righteousness.

  676. But from the scripture we read, you could see that because of

  677. the trouble of life, because of the difficulty of life, one was

  678. able to sell his birthright just like that.

  679. And when you bring it to our dispensation, you could see that

  680. at times the challenges of life, at times situations of life, we

  681. forget ourselves that we fall into some, we do things contrary

  682. to the word of God. Someone we will say, for how

  683. long am I going to suffer? So whenever the devil presents

  684. any shortcuts, you fall into rates and you miss your

  685. birthright. We are praying our last prayer.

  686. We are asking the Spirit of God to help us this morning.

  687. We are asking the Spirit of God to help us this morning.

  688. Open your mouth, Spirit of the living God.

  689. This morning we call for your help.

  690. May you come to our aid. May you come to our rescue.

  691. We know our flesh has filled us. We know our flesh.

  692. Keep on filling us. This morning we present

  693. ourselves unto you, just as we, and we pray that you shall come

  694. to our aid, that you shall deliver us.

  695. You shall bring us. Deliver us So, Lord, that every

  696. state on our garment, even as we present ourselves unto you in

  697. all sincerity, may you wash us with your blood.

  698. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. May you wash us with your blood

  699. in the name of shall we humbly receive our seeds.

  700. Spirit divide. All right, near terrified to the

  701. beauty of Jesus. The beauty of Jesus.

  702. In me world can wash away my steam nothing but the blood of

  703. Jesus. What can make beholder king?

  704. Nothing. By the blood.

  705. Oh. Jesus, oh precious, is that blue

  706. that makes me white as snow rose.

  707. I know nothing but the blood. Oh Jesus, we.

  708. Invite one person to come and stand in and pray.

  709. Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus, we thank you, our Lord

  710. and Master Jesus, this morning we are grateful for the

  711. sacrifice that you have done on our behalf.

  712. Further, you have gone through the pain, You have gone through

  713. the pain, the suffering, just to give us another opportunity.

  714. Lord, this morning we are grateful.

  715. We are grateful for this opportunity.

  716. Father, We therefore pray that anything that will make us lose

  717. this better Jesus, may you help us to stay out of it, or may you

  718. help us to stay. May you help us to work with

  719. you. May you help us to stick to you

  720. so that this better right will not be taken away from us.

  721. Father, we bless your name for this wonderful message.

  722. This morning we pray committing our elder into your hands of God

  723. the law. Whatever has changed that has

  724. gone out of him, may you replenish it.

  725. May you empower him so anytime he stand before your people,

  726. more will be offered to be given unto your people.

  727. Father, this morning we thank you and we pray that Lord God

  728. continue to empower us spiritually and physically and

  729. may you draw us closer to yourself anytime.

  730. The Lord, we are lucky. May you help us to move forward

  731. in Jesus name, Amen.
