-
You've tuned into a mega. Church.
-
We are people hungry to encounter God through worship
-
and His Word being witnesses to the world around us.
-
We pray this teaching blesses you and trust God will reveal
-
Himself to you in a new way today.
-
And. If you need prayer for healing
-
or breakthrough what to find out more about Omega, get to our
-
website or Facebook page through the links below.
-
We've been talking about justification by faith.
-
We're talking about how we are called by God, you know, and how
-
he justifies us not because of we, we follow the law, but by
-
faith in his Son, Jesus Christ. It is very, very simple.
-
But then the question that raises arises is when did the
-
what happens to the law, The law that is come through Moses has
-
been honored, has been held revered and held in very high
-
esteem by the Jewish people. But that law is not the basis
-
for on which God is justifying people.
-
So how the law had a temporary place, That's what Paul is
-
trying to expound from verses 15 to the end of the chapter, how
-
it is important and what is its importance and why it is
-
important. At the same time, how promise is
-
superior to keeping the law, how you are justified by because of
-
a promise? The whole thing is like this.
-
Brothers, let me take an example from everyday life.
-
He is saying it's everyday life. It may not be for us everyday
-
life, but for Jewish people, they held Abraham in very high
-
esteem. So he says, hey, you think of
-
him every day. You are his descendants.
-
Now I want to tell you something which is very, very your it is
-
in the in the basic fabric of your existence.
-
You believe you are a child of Abraham, descendant of Abraham.
-
I want to talk about it. That is what Paul is saying.
-
Everyday life. Just as no one can set aside or
-
add to a human covenant that has been duly established, so it is
-
in this case. How many of us are aware of
-
something called will when it comes to property matters?
-
You write a will. Why?
-
Suddenly if we disappear, we die.
-
We want to know what is going to happen to the property, who is
-
going to get what. So that will is something very,
-
very important. But then if you have a will that
-
is binding on what you are going to do with the property, it is
-
no will. It becomes difficult to deal
-
with it. It is very, very crucial to have
-
a will, but if you have more than one will, like today I want
-
to say so my, I want to distribute my property.
-
Sema and I decide go to the lawyer and make a will.
-
And then after two years we change our mind.
-
No, no, we don't want this son to get so much.
-
We don't want this much, this son to get so much.
-
We want to change it. You go and make changes again
-
with sitting with the lawyer. Then what will is going to be
-
final, The last one, the first one will be cancelled.
-
The last one remains. That's that's what we see
-
happening in our in our community in the sense present
-
in the present world everywhere in every country.
-
That's how we do it. So what Paul is referring to
-
here is that God made a will, God made a covenant, God made a
-
contract with Abraham and that cannot be changed.
-
It is like a, it is a Greek culture, basically.
-
It is rooted in Greek culture. The Roman government, you have
-
to, you certify a will go to the government, say this is my final
-
way. I want my property to be
-
distributed. And you go to the government and
-
then they say, yeah, put a stamp on it.
-
That is it. That is final.
-
You cannot add to it. You cannot remove from it.
-
So what he's saying is it is the same way what God promised to
-
Abraham is not going to be cancelled, is not going to be
-
added. Nothing is going to be added to
-
it. So what did God do with Abraham?
-
He made a covenant with him. What kind of covenant he made?
-
You'll have to read Genesis chapter 15 to understand what
Genesis 15 chapter mention
-
Paul is saying. In Genesis chapter 15, Abraham,
Genesis 15 chapter mention
-
God appeared Abraham and said, Abraham, I am your great reward.
-
Don't be afraid. I am your great reward.
-
I am, I am the one who is going to bless you.
-
He says, what blessing are you going to give me?
-
You gave me everything, but he didn't give me a son.
-
This servant is going to become my who is going to inherit all
-
that I have. The slave in my house is going
-
to inherit everything. And God says, no, your servant
-
is not the one who is going to inherit.
-
You will have a son and that son will inherit.
-
How do I know what you are saying is true?
-
You know this is how God talks with each one of us.
-
There are times he gives you a promise and you go through some
-
crises and you doubt whether it is going to be true.
-
Am I communicating here? Is it all experience?
-
Even as we were singing this morning, I was remembering when
-
I was just 20 plus may be 21 year old and I was walking in a
-
different state because of the job.
-
I went there and I had no friends, no relatives.
-
The language is different, everything is different.
-
And after my work, I don't know what to do.
-
So one day I was going with wherever the road was going, I
-
was going. I came to the end of the city
-
and kept walking and I asked myself, God, why did you bring
-
me here? Why am I walking on this lonely
-
Rd. Why am I?
-
What is the purpose that you are accomplishing in my life?
-
So there will be times when you will go through those wilderness
-
movements, walking in the wilderness.
-
Just because God promises doesn't necessarily mean
-
everything is going to be fun all the time.
-
But my, my, what I'm trying to say here is we need to believe
-
that promise. When it is impossible to
-
believe, when it's difficult to believe.
-
You believe God, You're right. My feelings are not right, my
-
emotions are not right. But I want to believe.
-
And God said, OK, bring me a heifer, bring me a goat, bring
-
me a ram, bring me a turtle now and bring me a pigeon.
-
How many things I said? 5 and cut them into two.
-
Arrange the pieces on the ground and Abraham obeyed.
-
Next day morning there it was, 3 year old heifer.
-
Now you know, I thought I knew English for a long time.
-
Only yesterday I looked up the dictionary again.
-
Heifer. What is a heifer?
-
Can you say? Somebody give me a meaning of
-
heifer. Thank you very much.
-
Female cow. I thought it was male.
-
Why did I think like that? Because Jesus is the one who
-
fulfilled everything. I by default, I thought heffer
-
means it's a should be a male one, but I opened the
-
dictionary. It's a female.
-
I said, oh, so language sometimes, you know, we keep
-
growing in, you know, vocabulary and understanding and pardon
-
correct before it had a cough. That's also very important.
-
I want I was about to say it. Why does why does it matter?
-
Why does it matter for a female cow before they had a calf that
-
it should be sacrificed? You should be 3 year old and the
-
goat should be 3 year old. Ram should be 3 year old.
-
Three stands for perfection. Every animal is at his peak of
-
reproduction ability. At the age of 3 is fully mature.
-
So what God is saying is bring me mature heifer, bring me a
-
mature goat and a ram. And you cut into half and the
-
pieces were put apart from each other.
-
Blood is still flowing out of the animals.
-
You will have to imagine a little bit.
-
There is one picture there in the drive.
-
If you can find it, there is a picture.
-
Please put it up. I forgot to mention it to you.
-
Thank you. Apologies.
-
So the whole issue is like the animal is cut into half.
-
So how many pieces you have now? Six pieces of the three animals
-
and then you have the turtle down and you have the pigeon.
-
These birds were not allowed to be cut is always like that is
-
always, they are not cut into pieces and they are often as a
-
whole burnt offering in the thing.
-
Later on, you see when the law was given in the book of
-
Leviticus and new numbers and you see that heifer is used for
-
cleansing, heifer is used for cleansing.
-
They usually they find a red heifer.
-
You know, there's so much of talk in Jerusalem going on about
-
red heifer. Now they burn the red heifer
-
outside Jerusalem, bring the ashes.
-
When you mix water and sprinkle it on anything, it becomes
-
clean. So God gave those things to
-
Abraham heifer for cleansing. And then you got a goat.
-
You got 2 goats, which we selected in the later on in the,
-
in the in the, in the law and one goat.
-
You put a hand and a priest puts his hand on his head and confess
-
the sins of the whole is a nation of Israel and one is
-
allowed to escape into the wilderness, but one is
-
sacrificed sin offering ram a sin offering everything is for
-
this kind of purposes and God says do this thing, then why is
-
he asking all the sticks to be done is the local belief.
-
When somebody is making a covered with another person.
-
Let's say man A and a man B are making a covenant.
-
They will cut the animal and walk between the pieces.
-
And when they walk between the pieces they are saying to each
-
other, if I fail to keep my contract, may I be dead like
-
this animal? May I be dead but like this
-
animal? But when God made a covenant
-
with Abraham, he made it one sided on his own.
-
What is the word? I forget suddenly.
-
Pardon, unilateral, sorry. Thank you very much.
-
She is a pastor's wife. So unilateral.
-
What I mean is that Abraham is not going to be party to fulfill
-
the terms. He may be living for some time
-
and he will be dead, but who will be the one who will fulfill
-
it? God.
-
So what is God doing is I will come, come to a little later in
-
a few seconds. So what Abraham did was he cut
-
them, arranged them and he was trying to drive away.
-
When the the eagles and the vultures were coming down to eat
-
the carcasses, he was trying to drive them away.
-
Basically, when does it happen? It takes at least 10 to 12 hours
-
after an animal is cut that will begin to putrify and it emits a
-
smell attracting the vultures. So the whole day he was standing
-
there making sure that nothing will come and eat those
-
sacrifice animals. And by evening he was exhausted.
-
Driving away vultures. He was very exhausted.
-
He fell into a trance and then he saw a smoking pot and a torch
-
go between the parts for God. For God.
-
What are the two things that went in between the parts?
-
A smoking part and a torch, Let's say smoking pot stands for
-
God the Father and the torch stands for the Holy Spirit.
-
Where is God the Son? You know, everywhere all three
-
are involved. Isn't it the animals that have
-
been sacrificed? They stand for Jesus who is
-
going to be crucified in the in the future.
-
And God says Abraham, I promise that this blessing that I am
-
giving to you is to you and to your offspring, to you and to
-
your seed, not the proof singular, singular that is to
-
Jesus Christ. So Jesus Jesus Christ received
-
the promise through Abraham. God the Son received the promise
-
through Abraham. I tell you when the more you
-
think about these things, the more fear comes over us.
-
Why? Because when you are dealing
-
with God, when He gives you a promise, He is making a partner
-
into His eternal plans. He makes you a partner in His
-
eternal plan. You don't live for yourself.
-
Abraham is not living to himself 3000 years after Abraham lived.
-
We are talking about him today because he partnered with God
-
and it is the same today. He's asking each one of you and
-
me, do you want to partner with me in my plans, in my purposes?
-
And it is not for yourself. Remember, the partnership is not
-
for your own blessing. It's not for you to make you
-
rich. It's not to make you Mr.
-
Universe or whatever physically. No, it is to partnership is to
-
bring His Kingdom into the world through your life for the glory
-
of His name. He wants salvation to come
-
through you to everyone else in the world.
-
I tell you, if this part is gone, then we are doing nothing.
-
We are. We are doing some.
-
We are playing in the church. We are not doing the purpose for
-
which God has called church into existence.
-
God has called a church in existence.
-
You and me to see that this gospel will go to every person
-
in the world. It has to begin in the house.
-
Where does it begin? In the house?
-
Because later on when you see the Passover lamb, if they
-
select a lamb and it will be in in the family for nearly two
-
weeks, it becomes part of the family.
-
Yet it will be sacrificed after two weeks.
-
Why? So that the children would know
-
what does it mean, the Passover mean?
-
How God passed over these things, how God passed over
-
every issue and how He saved them, how He delivered them from
-
bondage in Egypt. That is how He wanted the family
-
to know the gospel. Gospel has to be shared in the
-
family first. That is very, very simple rule.
-
And then He made the promise unilateral just on his own, and
-
he passed through between the parts because no one is above
-
God by which he can make a promise.
-
You know, people promise, make a covenant or promise with
-
somebody who with higher authority, somebody may.
-
In the New Testament, you see people used to swear by the gold
-
in the temple or the temple or whatever.
-
It is something great because there is no one greater than
-
God. He said, I will surely bless
-
you. He is making a unital, unital
-
promise, and that promise is going to fulfill it by His own
-
power. Accomplish it.
-
Now this is very important, very, very important.
-
In the morning we talked about many are called, few are chosen.
-
I was thinking about it yesterday, whole day.
-
How do you know that you are chosen?
-
If you are saved your car, how do you know you are chosen until
-
you partner with the vision of God, until you partner with the
-
purposes of God, until you partner with God for his Kingdom
-
to come into the world. When that desire is the one that
-
drives you, when that that consumes you and that is the one
-
that makes you dream of it. That's the one that makes you
-
think of it day and night, you are chosen.
-
You are chosen. The other way that you can know
-
is have you had a vision, a supernatural vision from God?
-
Have you had a supernatural dream from God?
-
Have you had, do you have some kind of a prophetic word that is
-
released over your life? Sometimes somebody has
-
prophesied over you say this is what God wants to do with your
-
life. You are chosen.
-
These are only symptoms. Sometimes you can have the naked
-
faith and cast your future with the naked face.
-
Say God, you are reliable, you are faithful, and you are like a
-
mountain. You're unshakable.
-
I put my trust in you and nothing can shake me and I
-
believe in you. I believe in your plan for my
-
life. I believe in your purposes for
-
my life. You will be unshakable and you
-
are chosen because your heart says I.
-
My heart is with God. We can be chosen as a we can be
-
called and live like as if we are not chosen.
-
To be chosen, you need to align your life with the mind of God
-
and the will of God. Nothing shall come between you
-
and God. Whether it is a drink or a food
-
or a pleasure or whatever it is, it will take second place.
-
I was talking to a young man who was going through problems in
-
marriage and he said, oh I don't have intimacy.
-
I am not living with my wife. My kids are gone from me.
-
What do you want me to do? I said confess the bread of
-
flesh on your wife and your kids.
-
Things will improve. And after one month he comes and
-
says, oh, I did it for a week and then I gave it up.
-
I said you are not fit to win. Why?
-
Because you are hard to do that until you win.
-
You cannot give up after one week.
-
Personal lives, personal struggles, we overcome by the
-
bread of the lamb and by the word of our testimony.
-
Every struggle you see, every problem you come across, you are
-
going to overcome it by the bread of the lamb.
-
That blood you put upon the relationship, that blood you put
-
upon the situation, that situation will yield.
-
That situation will change because that blood will speak
-
for you. Abraham sacrificed and that
-
blood was speaking. That blood was representing the
-
blood of Jesus. He is the one who makes a
-
covenant with you. He is the one who will fulfill
-
it for you. He is the one who gives you a
-
promise. He is the one who will fulfill
-
the promise for you. He will not fail.
-
Possible. We are not denying it because we
-
look at all the disciples. They were chosen.
-
They were called Matthew sitting at the tax collector's booth.
-
He says come and follow me. He was called and he was chosen
-
and he became a martyr for Christ.
-
All the 12 disciples except John the disciple, everybody was
-
martyred, beheaded, crucified upside down, crucified different
-
ways. They were all become.
-
So persecution is the part of the calling, part of the part of
-
the choosing process. There was a time I I used to go
-
to India very frequently every year, sometimes even twice in a
-
year. I went for preaching and
-
teaching and praying for people, healing, deliverance, all
-
things. We were very excited in the
-
initial days. Later I saw that became a
-
financial burden. But what stopped me going was
-
the persecution. I said don't want to go there
-
and get stuck up there. So I stopped going.
-
Think we need to be intelligent as well.
-
We don't have to walk into it. Right now.
-
There is persecution going on in Iran.
-
They say there is no count what CNN says, what Fox News says.
-
They only set out 2503 thousand people and some say 12,000
-
people, but some people say it's 30,000 people.
-
It is so the massacre on the streets because he hired Arabic
-
speaking Shiite Muslims to come to rescue him and to stop to
-
suppress the agitation. And they just came and
-
slaughtered the people. And the people who are holding
-
the dead bodies are demanding money to release the dead body.
-
What are they going to do with the 30,000 bodies?
-
It is depravity, I tell you. It is showing the depravity of
-
Islam Khomeini is putting down. Islam is showing to the world
-
what Islam is. Hey, I don't care for people,
-
but Christianity says God loves people.
-
People die for the gospel there. They want to kill people here.
-
We die for the gospel. That's the difference between
-
Islam and Christianity. And Jesus is appearing to many
-
people in visions and dreams and people are just on mass
-
believing in Jesus Families. Many, more than half of the
-
masks are empty in Iran today. Nobody is going to mask anymore
-
because they are believing in Jesus.
-
Talk about persecution. Where there is persecution, God
-
pours out His grace more. He pours out His grace more.
-
So here we see again the scripture does not say and to
-
seeds meaning many people, but to your seed meaning the one
-
person who is Christ. How God speaks and fulfills it.
-
After nearly 2000 years, it is just amazing only God can do.
-
Abraham lived for certain number of years and died.
-
But who is fulfilling the promise?
-
God, God. So when, when we, when you
-
believe, when I and you believe in Jesus is a contract formed
-
between you and God which will go on to the children, It will
-
go on to the children and children's children and to
-
children's children to save generations.
-
So your faith is not in vacuum. Your faith should impact your
-
generations. Then you are an Abraham.
-
When your faith is passed on to family, you become an Abraham.
-
We need to pray about it. We need to seek with tears.
-
If it is required, we need to do it.
-
But God will not fail. He is a God of Abraham, Isaac,
-
and Jacob of every generation, every generation.
-
My purpose is not to put down anybody or to bring grief to
-
anyone but my I want encourage people to believe this God and I
-
want you to experience the power that comes through faith in this
-
Jesus Christ of Nazareth. He will not fail.
-
He will not fail. And then what I mean is this.
-
The law introduced forward and 30 years later does not set
-
aside the covenant previously established by God and thus do
-
away with the promise. What he's trying to say, Paul
-
here is God promised to Abraham and that is final.
-
It is not going to be changed. Nothing is going to be added to
-
it. Law came forward and 30 years
-
later cannot cancel what God has promised to Abraham as He
-
justified Abraham. So everybody is going to be
-
justified by their faith in Jesus Christ, not by following
-
the law, not by following the law.
-
That's the reason why the gospel is superior and powerful than
-
the law. It inward power comes into you
-
when you believe in Jesus to fulfill the law, because you
-
walk in love, you fulfill the whole of the law and that power
-
comes. And what Paul was trying to say
-
here is by faith you receive the Holy Spirit.
-
We are talking about it last week.
-
By faith in Jesus Christ, you receive the Holy Spirit and that
-
is the promise. What did God promise to Abraham?
-
The Holy Spirit. If you believe in Jesus Jesus
-
Christ, you receive the Holy Spirit, you receive the Holy
-
Spirit and that Holy Spirit is the seed that comes into your
-
heart to make your blessing, make your blessing.
-
I tell you the more I thought about it yesterday, my mind was
-
just getting blown in different into smithereens to parts.
-
I said, oh God you are great. You are so great.
-
I am so small and you are faithful.
-
You are eternal from eternity to eternity.
-
You are God and you are so awesome.
-
You are so holy. You are so full of grace and
-
love. And what am I?
-
What am I that you should choose me?
-
What am I that you should also you should call me and choose
-
me. John chapter 15 is all about
John 15 chapter mention
-
calling and choosing. You got to remain in Him by
-
obedience to His commandment. So you may be fruitful, you may
-
be fruitful. Why does God allow a problem?
-
He allowed this little problem, not having children, infertility
-
for Abraham, Why? He wanted him to know there is
-
God who makes him or enables him to be fertile, enables him to
-
have children. Every problem should drive you
-
to God, not away from God. Every problem should drive you
-
to God, to believe you believe in God, to have faith in God.
-
My God, if you can't save me, there is no one else in this
-
world who can save me. I want you to come through now
-
for me. I want you to split the sky, the
-
dark clouds and come down because I am looking to you for
-
help. He will come down.
-
God will fight for every desperate soul.
-
When you are desperate, He will come down and help you.
-
So have the message. So the next part is, what is the
-
purpose of the law? That is, he goes on from verse
-
19 to almost the end of the chapter to verse 25, and then he
-
finishes with few promises in verse 26 onwards.
-
The number one purpose, he says, is the purpose of the law.
-
It was added because of transgressions until the seat to
-
whom the promise referred to had come.
-
The law was put into effect through angels by a mediator.
-
A mediator, however, does not represent just one party.
-
But God is 1. So what he's trying to say here
-
is why did the law? Why?
-
What is the purpose of the law? God gave the 10 commandments so
-
that everybody who is trying to do them will know that he cannot
-
keep it. Everybody, whoever is born of a
-
woman in the world, will be convinced that they cannot keep
-
the law 100% of all the time in their life.
-
There will be even one time you break it, you are guilty of
-
breaking the whole of the law. That's the reason why the law
-
was given, so that people can become desperate in their own
-
lives. You know there I always tell
-
this point in my in my own life, there are times I cried out to
-
God. God, you have given me, you
-
called me from a different faith to believe in your Son Jesus.
-
But I am not seeing victory in this area of my life.
-
I am falling in the sin again and again and again.
-
This is not right. This is not why you died for me
-
on the cross. When I cry out to Him, He has
-
given me victory over the sin. You need to know the struggle
-
with sin, and you need to know the victory over sin, because
-
the gospel will not make sense. Until you know the power of sin,
-
you will not know the power of salvation.
-
So here he says it is given so that you will know that you are
-
helpless. You will know that you cannot by
-
your own strength fulfill the law.
-
So you look forward when Christ is coming, appearing on the
-
scene after 1500 years, and he dies up on the cross and rises
-
up again from the dead, and that gospel is preached.
-
You grab it now because you find hope in that gospel.
-
So the gospel is something God prepared in history.
-
He did not do it in one day. He gave, he called people, He
-
made them reveal himself to them.
-
Like how do you know that Abraham build in the right God?
-
Its a big question isn't it? Its a philosophical question.
-
Did he believe in the wrong God? No, How do you know it?
-
Because of what things that have followed, we know that he build
-
in the right God. If they believe the wrong God,
-
people will be butchered. But you believe in the right
-
God, we will be saved. So that's how you know in
-
history that the gospel is ratified, certified over and
-
over and again that it is true by everybody who does contrary
-
to the gospel. Gospel will be more lifted up.
-
And then secondly, he says the law was proven defect through
-
angels. That's OK.
-
And then he says if the law was given like a tutor is given like
-
a tutor. What's the job of a tutor?
-
Like a like a warden? Have you been in a hostel

anytime? If you, if you go to hostel, you
-
live in a hostel and you study and you, you grow up there.
-
You know the warden is like a tyrant.
-
He has complete control over you.
-
You're sitting down, you're sleeping, you're eating,
-
everything is in his control. But one day you'll come out of
-
the hostel. Same way.
-
The law is given to show us the tyranny of sin so that when we
-
receive the gospel, we know the life that's available in the
-
gospel. He is like a warden, He's like a
-
tutor. He teaches you, He leads you to
-
the truth. So that is how he explains all
-
that. I am just trying to finish it
-
basically, so I am not going into more detail.
-
But then he says in verse 26 onwards, you are all sons of God
-
through faith in Christ. Jesus is just somebody who want
-
to rejoice in hearing those words.
-
Only one person. You are all sons of God through
-
faith in Christ Jesus. And when it says your sons of
-
God, it also means your daughters of God.
-
Bible doesn't always say sons and daughters, sons and
-
daughters. Some by some Bibles have been
-
printed to do that. But don't worry about it when
-
the Bible says the sons of God is also talking about daughters.
-
When you believe your daughter will be a son, don't worry.
-
You can be a son, a powerful one.
-
Cool. For all of you who are baptized
-
into Christ have closed yourself with Christ.
-
You are closed with Christ. That's your identity.
-
You are all little Christ walking around everywhere.
-
When you get angry and shout at somebody, they look at your Is
-
this Christ? Not so much.
-
So let's be like we have put on Christ.
-
Let's live like we have put on Christ in love.
-
Walk in love. There's neither Jew nor Greek,
-
slave nor free, male nor female, but you are all one in Christ
-
Jesus. So there's a unity that you see
-
in Christ Jesus. We are all one in Christ Jesus.
-
He's the head. We're members of the body.
-
There's so many different ways Bible talks about the unity of
-
the believers. We are all one.
-
We are all children of God. We have put on Christ.
-
If you belong to Christ, then you're Abraham's seed.
-
The singular becomes plural. Now what was given as a singular
-
God promised to one seed, that is, Christ Jesus.
-
But when you believe in Jesus, you become the seed of Abraham.
-
You become the seed of Abraham. So one seed is promised to one
-
seed, but by faith that seed becomes multiplied now,
-
multiplied now, and is according to the promise, whatever is
-
promised to Christ. You are an heir to that promise.
-
You know it is. It is not that easy.
-
I recently talked to somebody and he said, brother, read
-
Isaiah 61 every day and pray over it and claim it.
-
Your life will change. I know when he talked about
-
Isaiah 61. I know what's there in Isaiah
-
61. So there's a big promise there.
-
There's a big promise there. So you need to be reading,
-
meditating and claiming it because you are an heir with
-
Christ. He said go into all the world,
-
preach the gospel, cast our demons, heal the sick, raise the
-
dead, let the blind see deaf hear downstream, lame walk, let
-
dead be raised. That is the promise.
-
That's the inheritance. That's your inheritance in
-
Christ Jesus. So you need to walk in.
-
It is not for only one pastor to do it or 1 elder to do it.
-
No, it's for everybody. That's why you are.
-
You can be called and live only as called, not as chosen.
-
When you are chosen and when you believe it, you will long for
-
your inheritance. You will be restless, You will
-
cry out to God. Why blind?
-
Don't see? Why deaf don't hear?
-
Why lame don't walk. Why did I not raise you groan in
-
your spirit? You're longing for it.
-
You want to be a prophet. You want to bring the Word.
-
You want to heal. You want to see peoples has
-
changed. If that hunger is there in you,
-
you are chosen. If you don't see it, it simply
-
means you will see it very soon. Why?
-
You can't be called and chosen and be fruitless?
-
It's just impossible. It is just impossible.
-
Shake somebody, give them a hype and say it's impossible not to
-
bear fruit. You're called, you're chosen.
-
Abraham was called. He was chosen.
-
That problem of childlessness is gone.
-
He had one son at the age of 100, wife being 90 years old,
-
beyond childbearing. Yes, she was beautiful enough to
-
be taken away by a king. Just mind.
-
It's mind blowing. And when I think of Sarah's
-
beauty or Rebecca's beauty, riches, beauty, I always think
-
it is just you don't see those kind of people these days.
-
Somebody who is 90 years old and looks like a 60 year old or 40
-
year old. It's very difficult because this
-
is part of the sin problem. You know, it just has an effect
-
on the body. It runs you down.
-
But what I am trying to say here is in the Spirit we must be
-
young. In the Spirit we must be like
-
eagles which renew their strength and mount up with
-
strength and family high. That is our inheritance.
-
That is our inheritance. Your problem is the gateway to
-
see the power of God. Your problem is the door to see
-
the power of God in your life. Can you surrender your problem
-
to God this morning? Shall we pray?
-
Thank you Jesus. Surrender your problem to Jesus.
-
He wants to make that a door of hope, a door of power, door of
-
salvation, door of finding a solution to your problem, a door
-
for revelation. You will see the power of God
-
through your problem, surrendering to God, surrender
-
it to God, surrender it to God, surrender and say God take over,
-
take over. Take over my life, take over my
-
problem, take over my future, take over the year 2026.
-
I want to see your blessing. I want to see your power.
-
I want to see your power. And God will say you are chosen.
-
Not only your call, but your chosen.
-
Father, we thank you this morning again.
-
We give you glory, honor and praise for speaking to us.
-
We worship you. We honor you.
-
We bless your name. We magnify your name.
-
Oh Father, I pray take our problem.
-
As the children are surrendering their problem, let your glory
-
come through the problem. Let them see your glory in the
-
problem. Let them see that the problem
-
will become a door that opens to see your glory.

-
The Lord says I am committed to see you come out of your
-
problem. As much as you're crying out to
-
me, I am committed to pull you out of your problem.
-
I am committed to you, says the Lord.
-
I am committed to you. Rabbarani Mandastoro, Hoshe Kaha
-
Samaro Hosta Koroni. Let that sleep lift off from
-
you. Don't sleep anymore.
-
Don't sleep. Let sleep cover your problem.
-
No, don't go into that hibernation mode.
-
Bring it before God because He wants to give you a
-
breakthrough. He wants to break away that
-
problem for you. He wants to let the light come
-
in through the darkness and He wants to save you.
-
He wants to rescue you. He wants to prove to you that He
-
is a living God. Open your heart now.
-
Open your heart now. Surrender to Him.
-
We praise you, Godfather, for those hearts that are praying in
-
their own hearts, crying out to you and God who can look into
-
our hearts. I praise you for you see those
-
hearts and you're saying to them, my daughter, my son, I
-
have called you and I've chosen you to bear fruit, much food to
-
my glory. Thank you Father, for your word.
-
Bless this word to your children and let there be joy in our
-
hearts because we have heard your word and let it change your
-
lifestyle to the glory of Your name.
-
Jesus, Mighty name, we ask and everybody says Amen.
