Dont Miss Your Time of Visitation Rev Edward Agyekum Kufuor 13.4.25

Okay, jay me.

In, I'm braving. Aw come on, lift up your king?

Is he your king? It's see that's your king. If

he's your.

King, you on, so try to lift him up.

Open up your mother and you can pray. Come on,

come on, come on, come on, come on. Why are

you saying? Why are you sitting over here? Are you

were once to God? Are you not a watch? You're

going to give up? Great? Open up your mouth. Come on,

come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.

Then, moments, no promise to you. But now now, in

this moment, do not live your moment of lid. Do

not lit your moments a digitizement.

Glory is worthy, Hosannah, glory be to God in the highest.

Let us pray, Father God me thank you for your spirit.

Holy Spirit. Come have your way, take your place. Let

the captains be set free, let souls be saved, Let

your people be delivered, and let the devil be horrified

by the manifestation of your spirit in this place.

And we will be.

Careful to give your name the praise, the honor, and

the glory in the mighty name of Jesus the Christ

of prayed.

Amen.

Please be saying that first giving honor to God, who

is the head of my life. To our Papa, I

thank God for his life wherever it is. May his

head never lack oil mays and oil never run dry.

May the Lord strengthening protect him. Let them be signs.

One.

There's miracles and breakthroughs for him, all around him, everything

concerning him. Let it be perfected in the name of

Jesus for our Bishop, Thank you for the opportunity. Come on,

come on, don't you know who is and see a

stranger amounts us. Give honor to whom honor is due.

What you do not honor, you forfeit. When it is

time for your honor. You shall not be given the

honor because you didn't give honor. Come on, open up

your mouth and give honor. We must learn to honor

when you know that you do better. Amen.

I give yourselves a hand club of praise for being here.

Come on, others are somewhere. I was doing other things,

but you've chosen to be in the house of the Lord.

I was glad when they said unto me. You're proving

that you're glad. That's why you're here.

Amen.

Give God some praise. Please be seated so I'll go

right into the world today. This is Easter season. Last

week a quick recap. We talked about the significance, the

importance of Easter to us, believe us Christians.

Amen.

We said that Easter was symbolic of what Jesus Christ

came to do. He came to die, to redeem us,

to justify us, to give us salvation.

Amen. How many of you are here last week? Is

that all? Come on? Come on, if you're here, don't

be afraid. I'm not coming to ask you a question. Yeah.

I'm trying to move with time today. So yes.

So we talked about those things, and we talked about

the importance that that fact that Jesus is the son

of God, that he came to earth, died, was crucified,

and rose on the third day. That fact is foundational

to what we believe as Christians. Amen, And that if

that was not true, then everything we're doing here is

a lie and it's a waste of time. But turn

to your neighbor and say it is not a lie.

Jesus Christ is the son of the Living God, and

I believe that he came down to earth, suffered, died,

was buried, and rose up you're not convincing and rose

up on the third day.

Amen.

That's the significance of Easter, if you believe, if you're Christian.

Now in that whole mode of what Easter means today

is Palm Sunday. Palm Sunday. Tens your neighbor and say

Palm Sunday. Now we are talking about the significance of

Palm Sunday. The palm, as we have here, is symbolic

of fertility and resilience. It is noted for its ability

to thrive even in harsh conditions, its steadiness, and it's

also symbolic of victory.

Tank your neighbor and say, I have the victory through Christ.

The waving of its branches in celebration of victory and

triumph is also symbolic. That is why we have Palm Sunday.

It commemorates a time when Jesus Christ was going into Jerusalem.

He knew the assignment, and he knew that going into

Jerusalem he was going to die, but he humbled himself

even onto death and still went for your sake and

my sake. Last week we also talked about he came

to die to reconcile man unto himself because sin had

cut us off from God. That's what sin does. When

sin matures, it brings death. This palm front I have

here cut off from the main plant. It looks green

and healthy right now, but give it a few days,

a few hours, it'll start wilting and withering and dying.

Why because it's cut off from the sauce.

So you cannot be cut off from your source and

expect to live.

For us.

You die spiritually when you're cut off from God, your source,

and with time it manifests where you die even naturally.

Attend to a neighbor and say, I have life because

I'm connected to my source. Amen, if you believe that,

give God a hand clap of praise. Come on, come on,

come on, come on, be awake, be alay. So my

topic today is palm Sunday. But as a top topic

I give you don't miss your time of visitation. Turn

to your neighbor and tell him, don't miss your time

of visitation. My key scripture is Luke nineteen verses twenty

eight to forty four. Looke nineteen versus twenty eight to

forty four. And we're going to quickly read through, and

I'm going to take it and break it down. And

when he had thus spoken, he went before ascending up

to Jerusalem to talk about Jesus now. And it came

to pass when he was come nigh to Bethige and Bethany,

at the mount called the Mount of Olives, he sent

two of his disciples, an advanced team, to go and

do an assignment, saying to them, go ye into the

village over against you, in which at your entering ye

shall find a cult.

Somebody say, a cult? A cult? What is a cult?

A baby donkey, a young donkey four years an under?

As a cult?

You will find a cult tied whereon yet never man

sat a cult that has never been ridden by anyone.

And I really believe it was preserved symbolically for this.

Tell someone whatever's yours, it's preserved for you. Lose him

and bring him hither next verse thirty one. And if

any man asks you, why do you lose him? That

shall ye say unto him, because the Lord hath need

of him, and that they were sent. And they that

were sent went their way and found even as he

has said unto them thirty three. And as they were

losing the cult, the owners thereof said unto them, why

losey the cult? And they said, the Lord had need

of him thirty five. And they brought him to Jesus,

and they cast their garments upon the cult, and they said,

Jesus thereon thirty six. And as he went they spread

their clothes in the way. And when he was come nigh,

even now at the descent of the Mount of Volors,

the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and

praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty

works that they had seen thirty eight, saying, blessed be

the King that cometh in the name of the Lord,

Peace in heaven and glory in the highest thirty nine.

And some of the Pharisees turn to neighbor and say,

pharisees from among the multitude, Where were they in the multitude?

They're always Pharisees. Then naysayers, the detractors, they're unbelievers, the

people who want to subject God to their intellect. The pharisees,

they cannot accept by faith what Christ has done. They

want everything to make sense like it is near my ba.

Your mind is limited, attention to Nahbor and said, your

mind is limited. It cannot contain God. It cannot contain God.

And some of the Pharisees from among the multitudes said,

on say, Master, rebuke your disciples. Forty an He answered

and said onto them, I tell you that if they

should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.

Listen.

This morning, the man of God told us, let everything

that have breath praise the Lord.

If you have breath in your mouth, let me hear

you praise God. Right now. That's good. That's good.

But I want to tell you, I submit to you

that not only living creatures praise God. Scripture tells us

that the heavens praise God, mountains praise God, the sea,

the ocean praises God. The things that we think don't

have life, the enemy rocks. Why because everything was created

by Him and everything my show for this glory. So

if you have the opportunity to praise God and you

sit down and let's hurry, the rocks will cry. I

don't know about you, but I don't want rocks crying

out in my place, because as long as I have

His breath in my lungs, I owe him the praise.

Amen.

And the answered and said, unto them, I tell you

that if they should hold their peace the stones or

immediately cry out forty one. And when he came near,

he beheld the city and wept over it. Say, and

Jesus wept. Say it again, and Jesus wept. There's a significance.

Say it again, and Jesus wept forty two, saying, if

thou hast known, even thou at least in this thy day,

the things which belong onto thy peace, but now they

are hid from you, if you would only recognize, identify,

understand the things that bring you peace, and in this

case the person that brings you peace, because Jesus Christ

is what. He's the prince of what, he's the king

of kings and the prince of peace. But he's saying

this to them, and he weeps out of compassion because

they didn't even understand. With all the celebration, the joyous noise,

and all of that going on, they still didn't even

understand the significance of that moment, and so they missed

their moment of visitation.

Forty three.

For the days shall come onto thee, that thine enemy

shall cast a trench about thee and encompass thee round,

and keep thee on every side forty four, and shall

lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee,

and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another.

He's talk about the enemies who are going to come

and raise the city down, destroy the city and even

with its people in it, with the adults and the

children alike. Because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.

Amen.

So my subtopic is, do not miss your time or visitation.

Amen.

So that was a recap from last week and the

scripture for today. So Palm Sunday commemorates Jesus' triumphant entry

into Jerusalem about a week before his past critcifixion. Now

this week, beginning today, Palm Sunday, it is the beginning

of what we call the Passion Week. How many of

you have heard about the moving the Passion of Christ.

This is not the movie we're talking about, But the

movie talks about what he does, and we're not talking

about the passion has in the things he likes. We're

talking about his suffering out of his compassion and wanting

to save, to redeem, to justify he went through this week.

So Palm Sunday marks the beginning of the Passion week,

and it leads up to Good Friday when he's crucified,

and then his resurrection on Sunday, three days after Amen.

Still on the topic of not missing your moment or

time of visitation. So Jesus Christ knew that he was

going there and he will be crucified in a few days.

But he was obedient even onto death on the cross,

to reconcile humanity to himself and to establish his kingdom

here on earth. So it is the last week of

Jesus's life, and we have a record, and all the Gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke,

and John, they all record these events, although from different perspectives.

I picked John because his perspective is a little different. Matthew, Mark,

and Luke belong to what we call the synoptic synchronized views,

if you will. Their their presentations of what happened in

Jesus' life are similar, but John takes a different perspective. Now,

there are some basic facts I want to give you.

All these gospels together comprise about ninety five chapters. Ninety

five chapters. Four of those chapters talk about Jesus's life

before his ministry began at thirty years four out of.

The eighty nine, the remaining eighty.

Five chapters talk about those three and a half years

of his ministry. Eighty nine chapters four talk about his

first thirty years, and then eighty five of the chapters

focus on his three and a half years of life

of ministry. Twenty nine of the eighty five cover the

Passion week, which is why the Passion week is so significant.

Twenty nine of those of those eighty five about his

three and a half years of ministry. Twenty nine of

those cover the Passion week, the last week of his life,

John chapter twelve through twenty one. Well, John's perspectives cover

chapter twelve through twenty one about his last week. Mark

and John don't really talk about the birth of Christ.

John spoke only about the birth in one sentence, and

the word became flesh. So if you're looking for a

Christmas message the Bird of Christ, all you're going to

find from them is from Mark and John is that

it isn't much about the birth. But John only spoke

one sentence and the word became flesh. It is a

heavenly perspective. Matthew and Luke record Jesus's birth and the annunciation.

They are all recorded in or about his passion. The

majority of the gospels talk about his passion, his suffering,

what he went to the cross to do, which led

obiously to his crucifixion.

Amen, just some facts for you.

So the triumphant entry, I believe is something that Jesus

orchestrated because most of the time he told his disciples,

don't tell anyone, do not tell anyone. But with this

one he goes. He enters Jerusalem on a cult at

a time of the feast of the Passover. See, the

Jews celebrated three main feasts, the Passover, the Feast of

the Temples and the Tabernacle, and then the last one.

Let the last feast. Who can tell me? Have you

also been studying? There are three feasts Pentecosts, So that

there is the feasts of the Passover, which is what

we're celebrating leading up to Easter, then the feast of

Tabernacle and the feast of Pentecost. And at the time

of this feast of the Passover, it is like as

we do now, people pilgrimage all the way to Israel,

to Jerusalem to see, to visit, to you know, go

to the whaling wall, and whatever, the same thing was

happening back then. And it is estimated by some historians

that a city which was about maybe two hundred and

fifty thousand capacity at that time of that feast of

the Passover now had about ten times the volume of people,

about two point five million. Now, in their tradition, every household,

in every household, every ten people would share one lamb

with sacrifice, would slaughter one lamp and observe the feast.

So if you had more than ten, then you would

kill two. If you had more than twenty, you.

Would kill three.

But if every household ten people would slaughter one lamp,

and it is estimated about two hundred and fifty thousand

lambs were killed was slaughtered doing the feast of Passuba.

Then do the man ten for each household times two

hundred and fifty thousand sheep lamps, that was two point

five million.

That's how pat the city was now.

In John eleven, before Jesus comes to Bethlehem, he had

gone and resurrected Lazarus. We all know the story of Lazarus,

his friend who had passed on, and when he was

not well, his sisters sent for Jesus. He didn't come.

He waited for him to die, and it was for

a purpose. He wasn't just.

Being mean or ugly. It was for the revelation a

glory of God.

So he waited, and when Lazarus died, he went After

four days. Now we all know if you've experienced that,

I even watched already anything about death. Rigamontis sets in

in ours, decomposition and decay sets in. So can you

imagine after four days what Lazarus was like. His corps

had already liquefied. I want to be graphic. Magets were

already eating his tissue. The body was already oozing all

kinds of liquids. Everything that composed his body was already

spilling out. But Jesus waited for all that to go

to happen, and then went there and called for this

Elazra come forth. So everything in the process of decomposition

that had happened had to be reversed. The magas had

to spit up the flesh. The flesh and the tissue

had to be recomposed. The blood, the plasma, the red

blood cells, the white blood cells, all of that had

to be recomposed, and the skin had to come back together,

all the mascle, the tissues, all his organs, for him

to come forth as a living being, as a man

as we knew him before his death.

Think about that.

Now, there were people with him who witnessed that miracle,

and so like people do, they had already started going

and talking about it. So word went forth to Jerusalem

before Jesus got there, and so there was a great expectation.

So as he was coming, and as they would normally

do during the feast of Pasova in the tradition, they

would resume some one one eight. The main focus I

want to have is versus twenty five and twenty six

versus twenty five and twenty six some one one eight,

So I pass over. They would reside and change that.

But it says save now. And when you study the

word save now, it's translated as Hosanna, hosanna. So when

we are waving this palm, I want to understand what

you're doing. When you're waving the palm and you're shouting Hosannah,

you're saying save now.

But who has the power to save Jesus Christ the Messiah.

So in one fell sweep you are asking the Lord

for the salvation. But you're also acknowledging that he is

the Messiah, because the Messiah couldn't come from any other

blood line except for the blood line of the tribe

of Judah and of David, the king, who Jesus was

a descendant of. That's why the blind people said, now,

son of David, have mercy on me. They were testifying

to the fact that that was his bloodline and that

indeed he was the Messiah.

So can you put the scripture back twenty five.

Some one money twenty five say now I b CCO Lord,

Oh Lord, I be CD send prosperity. Send now, prosperity.

Twenty six. Blessed be he that cometh in the name

of the Lord. We have blessed you out of the

house of the Lord, out of the house of the Lord,

out of the lineage of God, the Messianic.

Lineage.

He was talking about. That he is indeed the son

of God and the son of David. So he came

from that blood line, so it acknowledges who he is.

So the people were following Jesus chanting that.

Now. Customarily, when a king or a hero of.

War, a general of war had gone out on a

campaign and came back to Senseful. It would come back

the same path, enter into the city, and the same jubilation, joyous, chanting,

and adoration would be going on the same people. Now

think of this. When the king would come, he would

normally sit on a white horse or drawn by chariots.

When a war hero would come, they have a war horse,

the horse that accompanied him to war.

He would ride that.

Now Jesus, who is also a king, but the king

of kings comes and he asks for a donkey that

seems to be at odds. Every king or every noble

person comes and they ride something that is, you know,

commensurate with their class, with their level, and they have

classes anyway, chariots and those kinds of horses were nobility

and kings, and then normal people, you know, middle class

and some you know war heroes that would do the

state of nice healthy horse. And then the poor people,

the working class, would ride donkeys. Jesus, the King of Kings,

entered triumphantly into Jerusalem on a donkey. Now those kings

would be coming back from conquest. But Jesus had not

gone to any conquest yet. He was now entering Jerusalem

to go now to do battle, where he would conquer

death and dismantle the power of sin. So he is hailed,

enters triumphantly, but he is now about to in opposition

to those who came were already conquered. The symbolism of

what I'm to get I'm trying to get across to you,

is that Jesus humbled himself. He brought himself down to

the level of the lowest in society. He rode a cult,

a donkey, or as the Bible says, an ass when

he is a king and could have ridden a chariot

or a white, you know, majestic horse, or even if

he wanted to consider him a hero, he would have

ridden a war horse, a horse specifically trained for battle

so that the rider wouldn't fall victim. The horse and

the rider became one. When you read about the training

of those war horses, they were so sensitive towards going

the slightest move of the rider. They would comply because

there had to be an extension. The hors could be

going one way and the writer going one way. Catastrophe.

But Jesus rode an ass, a donkey, He humbled himself.

A man turned to your neighbor and self, tell you

turn to your neighbor and say, humble yourself.

That king of kings rode a donkey.

Sometimes we get puffed up with a little bit of

you know, position, a little title, and we think, you know,

we're up here and everybody is down here. But it's

not about titles and positions. Jesus Christ had compassion for souls,

for souls, so much soul that he died. He took

your place, became sin, became a curse. Hadn't done anything wrong,

knew no sin. But because of his compassion, because he

was concerned about winning souls. He didn't want anybody to

die in their sin, but that all men should come

to repentance so that they could reign with him in eternity.

And the only way he could do that because no

one's perfect. There wasn't any perfect blood, There wasn't any

perfect sacrifice.

So he had to come and shed his own blood.

I don't know about that, but that's a good place

to praise God and to thank him. Oh come on,

are you grateful that he came and he died for you?

Because if you were left to judge in your sin,

no man would stun judgment. I said last week, it

is a fearful thing, a warful thing, to fall judgment

to the wrath of God. Because God is a just god,

he must judge sin. Although he's merciful and gives you

another chance, he must judge. So if he were to judge,

none of us would qualify. But for Jesus, don't you

aine and say, but for Jesus. So Jesus shed his blood,

and his blood copies you. So anytime God looks at you,

he doesn't see your sin. He sees the blood of Jesus,

the pure, efficacious, spartless, blameless, untainted blood of Jesus Christ.

That is what gives you access that you can come

boldly so when you have a chance to praise him,

when you sit down, it's in gratitude. It's in gratitude

for somebody to offer himself as a sacrifice, die in

your place to redeem you, and then you just think like,

I'm too tired to praise you. I guarantee you, if

they were to bring a guillotine right now and ask

your mind or your father to die for something you

have done, they probably wouldn't. I know, I don't care

how much I love you, how much friendly we are.

If they brought a guilty and said, your your friend

has done this and that, so come let's cut you

off your head for his says Charlie, this is your moment.

So every chance you get, I want to hear you shout.

Come on, not just to make noise, shout in gratitude.

Understand what you're doing. Be purposeful about it, be intentional

about it. Are you grateful that he came and he

died for you, that he took your place? Do you

understand what he did? Do you understand what we are

celebrating Palm Sunday? Do you understand? Ask your neighbor do

you understand it?

Now?

Further studies showed that there was actually there were actually

two donkeys. Because you see, the colt only goes where

the mother goes. Just like in the natural children's think

to their mummy, mommy, mommy, wherever she's going, mommy. Same

thing with the colt. It won't go anywhere unless his

mother is going. So actually two donkeys were brought to

Christ because the colt would only go where the mother goes.

But it was a colt that no one had ever ridden.

That's why I told you, whatever is preserved reserved for

you whatever God has for you, it is for you.

You have to understand and know it and claim it

by faith.

Amen. Faith with our works is what and what is

the definition of faith?

It is let's say together. They're not in there. I

don't want to mention that school, but come on, let's

say it together. Faith is a one.

Amen.

That's demand you put on it. That belief that you

have in Jesus Christ is what causes it to manifest.

It is as if you have faith the size of

a mustard seed, you can do what. So if you

don't exercize your faith, faith is dead.

It is useless.

So Jesus the king of King's rhoda donkey, a cult,

a symbol of humility. He was not returning from conquest.

He was going into conquest to conquer death and to

destroy the power of sin. But at that time there

were millions of people, thousands, hundreds of thousands of people

in Jerusalem who had come to celebrate that feast from

all over the world. So Jesus didn't just come to

die for the Jews, because at that moment it wasn't

just the city didn't just comprise Jews, it comprised people

from all over the world, Jews and Gentiles alike. So

now understand the gravity of what he did. There were

people from all over the world, Jews and Gentiles alike. Now,

as he was approaching, Scripture tells us that he wept.

Why did Jesus weep? Can somebody tell me I have

already said it if you were paying attention. Why did

he weep? The first time he wept was that Lazarus's tomb.

The second time was as he was approaching Jerusalem and

he cast his eyes upon the city.

Okay, in dangers of time.

He wept because he felt compassion and Lazar's's death. You

know when your boy dies, When your buddy buddy dies,

you feel sad. So he's out of compassion, out of

the brotherly love that he had for him. But this time,

as he was approaching Jerusalem and he wept, he was

weeping because of their spiritual ignorance. Here is the Prince

of peace, the very embodiment of peace, and Christ was

weeping because he could see prophetically that barely seventy years

from this event, their enemies, as the scripture said, we're

going to encamp around them and raise the city to

rubble and destroy, not just the adults, but their kids.

With the adults, turn't to your neighbors, say watch what

you desire, what brings you happiness, because the choices you

make now can spell destruction for you.

Jesus is the one.

Who could bring peace and cause even your enemies to

be at peace with you. Was physically there, but they

couldn't understand the significance of his presence. They were just

caught up in the moment Hozanna, Hellelujah, the King, blah

blah blah. But they didn't even understand and they didn't

have their understanding that there was a time coming that

because they didn't recognize Jesus and what he could do

for them, that they were going to fall prey to destruction.

But the destruction wasn't just for the adults who are

better understanding. Scripture says, it's going to kill them, destroyed

them and their children. So the choices you make now

are not just about you, about your future and the

future of your seat. That's how generational curses begin. One

person enters into something, or steps out of line, or

contacts something, does something that is untoward, out of line

with the scripture, and it invokes a conditional situation occurs

that now transcends them into other generations. So the choices

you make now, and that's why I keep saying, do

not miss your moment of visitation, because all you have

is now.

And if you're not alert, if you're not king, if you.

Don't pray for discernment, illumination, understanding, revelation of the moment

of the times you're living in, you make certain choices.

Because I told you last week, this flesh likes conflict,

likes to chill, doesn't want any stress.

But your spirit.

Identifies best waters. The spirit is inclined, and that's why

the spirit must lead. The spirit should not be subject

to the desires of your flesh. The flesh will always

bring destruction. The flesh will lead you to make choices

that will lead you a certain way, and the end

of it is always destruction, not just for you, but

even for your generations. So Jesus wept because of their

spiritual ignorance. He was coming to enter into a spiritual battle,

not a physical battle. He was going to die, to

conquer death and to destroy the power of sin, the

sin which cuts us off from our source, which leads

us to die naturally.

That's what he came to do, but they didn't get it.

Turn to your neighbor and say, get it, because your

life depends on it. So as he approached Jerusalem, his

heart was heavy.

So the contradiction is there.

While all the celebration and rejoicing was going on, Jesus

was sobbing. There's a difference between weeping and sobbing. Sobbing

is when it's allowed. Say, when you weep or you're

shedding tears, if you're five, you can't see maybe a

tale ruder, But when you're sobbing, you're making noise with it.

Because he was heavy, knowing what they were about to face,

but they themselves, who were in the situation, didn't get

spiritual ignorance and stubbornness will lead to your destruction. They

despise the very thing, the very person that brings them peace,

and pursue the wrong things. Same as we do today.

Nothing has changed. You know what the Word of God says,

You know what he commands you to do. But oh

that moment where you just wanted just a little something,

I just want to you know, don't look at me.

Nothing you did last night, that movie you watched last night,

that book, you read last night, that call you made

last night, that chat you had last night. See, he

gives you another chance. Why are you saying it gives

you a second chance? Means he's counting, but he's not counting.

He gives you another chance, and then another one, and

then another one. But Scripture says, if he's giving you

that grace, does it mean you have to keep singing?

Because at some point there's going to be a cut off.

We do that with our children naturally, when your child

is doing something, Hey, jerny, won't he no boo? And

then at some point you're like, yes, at some point,

God is going to at some point, it's going not

because he wants to punish you, because he loves you,

because the only chastises.

So you have to connect the word.

Sometimes they don't exist in a vacuum.

If you're gonna do it, do it, well, you're not

doing it for me.

You two can start it a whether you can say

that you're talking about God. The Prince of Peice was

among them, and yet they didn't even recognize he could

have quelled all those impending battles that would destroy their

city and destroy their lives, But they didn't get it.

They didn't understand. They missed their moment of visitation. Tell

your neighbor, do not miss your moment of visitation. See

make sure that whatever you pursue.

A life, the.

Happiness you're looking for, doesn't bring you destruction, because your

choices may not only affect you, as I've told you,

may affect your generations. And that is demonstrated in Luke

chapter nineteen, verse forty three and forty four. I think

we read that Luke chapter nineteen Versee. I want to

stress it because sometimes in that moment of weakness, when

you feel just it's just when nothing's going to happen,

Let me just do this, and then you know I

can repent.

You can do it. And right after you finish, God

calls you.

Whilst at it odivo in the heat of the moments,

and when he was come there he build a city. No, no, no,

is not the one forty three and forty four. Forty three,

For the day shall come upon thee that that an

enemy shot counts to trench your body and compass around there,

and keep thee forty four, and shall lay thee even

to the ground, and thy children within thee. And they

shall not leave in the one stone upon another.

He's likeing this to the city.

But that's exactly what the enemy would do to you

because thou knewest not your time of visitation. It's so

important that I can't stress it enough. Do not miss

your moment of visitation. And I keep saying that this

whole Easter we need to understand because we go through that,

You're gone into this thing.

You're born in church, you go.

You go to church on Sunday, we celebrate Easter. What

is the stern?

We just.

You just form and fashion. I was told to go

to a shore, I go. So the whole time you're

in jourge your life. Have we done yet? Have we

done yet? You don't really understand why. You don't even

understand why you're waiving this or what this symbolizes. But

we are to be intentional. We are to be committed. Listen,

you cannot be Lukewarmer. The moment you accept Christ, you

have chosen. You have joined the military academy because you

are in war battle. You haven't come to dress up

and look nice and do your peruviana and do your

nails and get your swag and just sit down there.

We are in a battle for souls. The time is up.

These are the in times. Satan knows their adversary, knows

misery loves company. That's what the English says. He doesn't

want to do that alone. He wants to do it

with somebody, some people, and as long as you allow it,

he will recruit you. So either you are gathering on

the side of the Kingdom of God, or you're scattering

on the side of Satan. Or give him some praise.

But while you're praising, make sure you know where your

choice is. So Hosannah means salvation now, save now, And

the only one who can save is Jesus the Christ.

And we are to be alert, aware of the times,

so that we do not miss our time of visitation.

And if you're here today hearing this word, this is

your time of visitation. I may be the one the

vessel standing here that the Lord is using to tell you,

but make no mistake, these are not my words. That scripture,

that's the word of God. So it is God talking

to you. God talks to us through his word, through dreams,

through visions, his word. So that's God talking to you.

As he has given it. I'm releasing it to you.

But last week I said something. If you have heard

the word of God, then all of heaven and all

of earth bears witness that on this.

Day you heard.

God wanted you to hear. It entered into your eargates,

It ended into your mind, into your heart. So the

choice is yours. But make no mistake. Whatever choice you make,

you will account for good choice, bad choice. But you see,

God is a gentleman. Whatever choice you make, your right.

You choose to fool, you're right. If you choose to

be serious, you're right. He gave you what free will,

but I said, choose you this day. I've given you

the free will, but I'm presenting to you life and death.

Choose you this day.

As you're hearing the word, do not miss your time

or visitation this on this Palm Sunday, understanding what it

means to you as a Christian.

Do not.

Don't walk out of your thinking, Oh, wait next week

when I have the nice new dress, or when I

have those heels on, or next week when I can

come with manson so that she knows. Oh, I'll get

my boys, boys, so we can come and chill. We'll

come and dance. All you have is now the moment

that you are in. So if you've heard the word

of God today and you have a choice to make,

and you decide that not today, maybe next week. Oh

I'll give my left Christ when I'm older. Right now,

I want to do some things. I want to chill.

I want to experience a life. There's no other life

anywhere than the life in Christ. The life you're talking

about is destruction. Oh yeah, the life you are talking about.

The enjoyment you're talking about, leads to distraction. See you sin,

you transgress when you make a lifestyle of it. It

becomes iniquity. When you dwell in iniquity. That means your

conscience is seared you at that place where you think,

say anmity, I'm not going to change me, answer me.

This is what I do need a mindset revolution as

a man thinketh So, if you think says say yes,

say I will, it is how you remain. But they

say I that you want to remain? Where is it

taking you? I want to invite you now having heard

this word, do not miss your moment of visitation, because

God can decide right now to blow those trumpets, roll the.

Sky back and come.

And on the day of accountability is you are going

to be you and your friends, you and your mother.

You and your father. On my one You're all being alive.

To be you and God, each man for himself, God

for us, all while you'll be facing God phely peely.

What account are you going to give to him? When

he tells you on this day? What is the day? Today?

Thirteenth of April. Sandra Vranko fort to tell you that

this is your.

Moment, but you chose.

Always remember it's a choice that you make. Even if

somebody is influencing you and they says, oh, don't go.

These people don't judge people you hear it.

What did you do with what you hear? Scriptures like

the day that you hear my heart and not your heart.

So if somebody's telling you don't go, remember that on

that day, they won't be there to take the blame

for causing you to mis But you made the choice

to listen to what they're telling you. So I want

to invite you now in all seriousness, and I need

judge if you're here. You're saved. You've accepted Jesus Christ

as your Lord and savior. You believe in your heart,

and you've confessed with your mouth that he is the

son of God, that he came to earth, died, was buried,

died on the cross, a shameful, sinful, cursed.

Death for you. That he rose on the thirty.

If you believe that, then I need you to pray,

because the same way somebody preached to you and you

God saved.

It's someone's turn. But guess what.

If you know it and you don't do it, the

blood will be required of your your hands.

God will ask you.

So you knew better. I called somebody to preach to you,

and you got saved. But when it got to their term,

you just sat down. Then content if you go, if

you're going to accept, go you're not praying. This is

the most serious part of the service. Not the scripture,

not the singing, this this part, because this is what

we are signed to do.

This is what we're called to do.

Go out then windsors preaches wed and go out the

wind soles, because that's what he came to die for souls,

to reconcile man unto himself, so that we could go

and reign with him in eternity. So if you're hearing

the world and you're not sure that you're saved, that

Jesus Christ is your Lord and savior, that if he

comes now, you're not going back with him.

I need you to come to the altar.

Don't worry about what you're wearing, don't worry about who

is next to you, because on that day they can't

answer for you anyway. And you think it's hot these days,

try hell.

Come.

I want to invite you church. Pray, pray, don't be spectating.

This is not a time to look around. If you're

saved and you know what Jesus Christ has done for you,

understand you are intentions, your purpose about what he has done.

And I need you to pray that his spirit would

move in this place because the next moment is not

promised to anyone.

I lived in New Orleans for a while.

In New Orleans, a man of God stood in the

pulpit preach the word of God powerfully. And then when

he finished, he said, I think I hear the Spirit

of God calling me, calling my name. He went and

sat down in his chair, and then right than the pulpit,

after you preached in front of the whole congregation, he

got called home. Right after finishing preaching. The next moment

is not promise to you. You don't know what's going

to happen when you step out of here. You don't

know what's going to happen five minutes from now. But

God knows. That's why he's giving you this opportunity. Come

make the choice.

Listen. I liking it to buy insurance.

When you have a new car, you have something valuable,

you encourage to insure it. When you're paying the premium

is painful because you're like, ah, they doesn't crash. What

am I paying money? I've been stolen the golden watch?

What am I pay? Am I insuring it? But that

day that you have an accident and you have to

come out of your pocket to pay for your car

and the car that you hit, you will understand the

value of insurance same way. The day you get called home.

Right now, you're thinking, well, this thing cry, I feel

I'm not sure.

Is there God? Grid?

We know?

Is there? Heaven? Is there hell?

You want to wait to find out the day you

get called home, you get to heaven and there's a God. Hey,

that's hell.

Jesus.

Wait, let me go back to church and let me

go ahead. Accept too late by the insurance Now, if

at the end of it all there's no God, which

I believe there is a God, and if you're saved,

you believe that's what you believe.

But if there is nothing, what have you lost? It's

free self Asian is free.

You can't buy it, you can't pay money for it.

I like insurance. You can't work, you can't do anything.

Your righteousness is as what if it's not that, then

you won't qualify anyway. But if he's done for it, free,

free gift, you still won't do it. Let it be

recorded that you may the choice.

Today.

I want to invite you to come. I've spoken enough.

I don't need to pump you up. You all understanding adults,

young adults, come on. If you don't know him in

the pardon of your sins, as your Lord and savior,

God bless you.

Come on, come on, come on.

What does the scripture say? Listen, you have to come

on now, let us scripture come alive. Is that when

one one, one person, one soul is one all of heaven,

with the innumerable loss of angels, they rejoice, they celebrate.

You're sitting here.

That someone is someone is saying, somebody preached for you.

To say, come on, don't look at anybody, because on

that day it will be you and God, and it

will remind you of this day, of this hour that

you heard. I want to invite you.

Come. Come, the blood will not be on my hands. Come.

Don't worry about your mother. Can't save your father, can't

save you, no matter how might say. Love you, your

brothers and sisters, your friends, unless you're planning to meet

in hell. Come, this is your moment of visitation. Come,

Come church. Are you praying, because if we're not praying,

if we're not serious about this, someone can leave here

and literally be called home and they're going to end

up in the wrong place. Don't take it. Don't be

looking at me. I'm not here to entertain you. You

should be looking to Christ and what he did on

the on the cross for you. And it wasn't just

for you. Just like you read in scripture, many people

were injury. Jesus Christ was going there to die, not

just for the Jews, but for the Gentiles also everybody.

He did this for everybody. Everybody has a share in this,

but you.

Have to accept, you have to step up and claim

your share. Is everybody here saved? Turn to your neighbor

and ask them, are you saved to you? Have you

accepted the gift of salvation? Ask them and get an answer.

If Jesus comes now, are you sure you're going back?

Last week I said it like parents go to school

to pick up their kids. After school, do they go

up and pick up all the kids? Where you go,

you go for yours.

If you have a son, if you have a daughter,

you're going to pick up your daughter and you go home.

Same thing. When Jesus comes is coming for years those

who have accepted him. If you haven't accepted.

Him, you don't belong to him. You belong to somebody else.

And trust me, it's also coming for you. Come on,

we're closing, but this is a very important time. We

thank God for our sister's life. Come, come, God bless you.

It's the best decision you make. God is going to say, welcome,

Well done, you heard the word. You didn't miss your

moment of visitation. God bless you. Anybody else. Don't just

sit down and look or whatever you're planning to grand do.

It's not that important. Do this. Seek you first, and

all those things that you want. Why do you think

you get your good desires from you. Want a house,

you want a car, you want a good job. What

do you think God? All the good tis It's from Him.

Every good and perfect gift comes away. What are you

telling me?

You he's giving you the formula. You come to me,

You accept me first. All of it belongs to me. Anyway,

a countle on a thousand hills, All the gold belongs

to me. Come on, come on, last time. Come on,

I'm done talking. If you don't make the choice, I

can't force you. I can bring you to the river.

You can bring the horse to the river. You can't

force it to drink. If you're not ready to drink,

have your way, have your choice. But if you're really serious,

if you really have an understanding of what has happened

here today, come.

Going once. Come on. God loves you, Jesus loves you.

You came to die for you. Your friends won't die

for you. I guarantee even your mother and father won't

die for you. Come on, I.

Guarantee they will cry, they will weep, they will plead,

but they're not going to put their head on it.

Come on, come on, come on, come on.

Rejoice, rejoice, rejoice, having this rechoice aren't too excited.

It can happen.

Anybody can step out of here and then book that.

Come on, come on, don't just sit down there and look.

I don't care how tired you are, hungry. Just five

minutes is not.

Gonna kill you. But pray, pray for souls. Pray.

Listen, even your prayer that God, the spirit of God

would move to convict hearts for them to come.

Get You get credit. You think God is God is

not just sitting there. Okay, you did that.

So what.

You prayed on that when my brother and our sisters.

If you were praying, well done, you may not have

had the chance to talk to them, but to pray

that my spirit would move and convict them for them

to come.

You have the sharing this.

You get dividends. Amen, you get a crown of what

you know what? The scripture says, one last time, anybody, anybody, anybody,

it's free.

I'm not doing it. Jesus is doing it. I can't

do it for you and probably wouldn't even do it

for you. I don't know you that well. I don't

like you that much. I want to say it myself. Well, Church,

give God some praise. Come on, come on, come on,

come on, come on, come on, brother and our sisters here.

I've not missed. I want to tell you.

The scripture says, before you were your mother's womb, he

knew you, He called you by name, set you aparty,

sanctified you for this day. Nothing surprises God. He knew

this day that you were coming to this altar. You

didn't choose him, He chose you. All you have done

is exercised the choice, the free will that he gave

you to accept him, and he will bless you for it. Now,

the scripture says, if you believe in your heart and

you can fuss with you now that Jesus Christ is

the Son of God and died was buried in rose,

then you should be saved. So I want to lead

you in a prayer right now. I want to repeat

them to me. Or bless the Lord. It's not too late,

It's never too late. Come come, come, come on, feel excited, church,

Come on, pray, pray to him. They are going to

heaven or they're not going to bad. They're not going

to tell you. See they are going to heaven. You

will see them in heaven.

If you say you're faith, if you say you've accepted

Jesus Christ. You believe it. They are doing the same.

You will meet them in heaven.

Anybody else. It's never too late. Even if I pray,

if you feel loved by this way, come, I pray

that you are. I want you to repeat them to me.

Dear Jesus, thank you for the gifts of salvation. I believe,

I believe. I believe that you are the son of

Jesus of God. You are the son of God. That

you came to earth, died, suffered, and was buried. But

on the third day you rose from the dead, and

you are seated in heaven at the right hand of God.

And you will come back to claim your own and

today according to your scripture.

Because I've believed in my heart and I've confessed with

my mouth, your word says I am saved, I am saved,

I am saved.

It is done.

It's just that simple church. Give God some praise. Want

to welcome you and bhable by Archbishop and Bishop Joel.

This is next gen church. This is where we share

the word of God. We have all of God's children.

We have been given the benefit, we have accepted, and

we want the same for you. That God will show

for the lightning in your life, and he will bless you,

and he will meet you at every point of need.

Whatever concervative he will do. Fail, I fail. I feel

you are now a part of God's kingdom.
