-
my family. Last week's Sunday, we had an accident when we were coming
-
back from oh We had an emergency to go and see my mother in law.
-
It was a five minutes drive from home. We were almost home.
-
We don't know where this motorcycle, the guy and the passenger were from or

been worse. We could have killed two people, our car could have some
-
assaulted. But I thank God for his mercy. I thank God for his
-
grace. I thank God for the covering he has over my family. They
-
just got up. We knew they were hit. The motive guys sat on

-
Amen. And I believe we have some pastors in there somewhere, but we'll
-
fish all of them out by the grace of God. Amen. So you're
-
welcome to church this morning. Amen. Today's Palm Sunday. Amen, Today's
-
Palm Sunday. And as part of the mandate, as far as the Next
-
Generation Church is concerned, we are going to be going back to the basics.
-
Please tell your neighbor back to the basics. Amen. We are not
-
going to run with the error of the world. Amen, Because as far
-
as the world is concerned, Easter is all about Easter. Bunnies and Easter
-
eggs. Amen. Yes. And some are also climbing the mountain to do
-
all sorts of things. Amen. And very soon there will be a shortage
-
of some very essential commodity up there. But according to God's word and according
-
to that which is written that has life, Amen, the essence of Easter
-
is different from what the world is propagating it to be. Amen. So
-
let's take a foundation scripture from Luke chapter twenty two. There's one to twenty
-
two. You can write it down and read the whole thing. But in
-
the Bible there is a passage that says, Hosanna in the highest blessed is
-
he who comes in the name of the Amen. And this is when Jesus
-
was coming to Jerusalem to get ready for the greatest sacrifice that has ever been
-
known to humanity, to present himself as a sacrificial lamb. And the Bible
-
says that he said to Peter and John that go and prepare for the Passover.
-
Go and prepare for the Passover. And Jesus, being a prophet and
-
a priest, he said to them, after they asked, how where do
-
you want us to go and prepare, he said, go into the city.
-
When you get there, you see a guy with a jar of water.
-
Follow him. Don't ask him anything, just follow him the house that
-
he enters. Enter also and speak to the master of the house and tell
-
him that the teacher requires a room or passover. So where have you prepared
-
for passover? Please preach your neighbor and ask your neighbor where have you prepared
-
for passover? Because the master needs a place for passover. Amen. Oh,
-
hallelujah. I can see some people talking. They are preaching in the
-
background. I'm going to give them the microphone to preach to us very soon.
-
Amen. Please ask your neighbor again, where have you prepared for the
-
passover? Amen? And the Bible says that the master of the house had
-
an upper room, which was a guest room that was already prepared. Amen.
-
So fast forward, Jesus and his disciples went to that upper room to
-
have the pass over feast. Amen. And so Jesus celebrated Passover or Easter
-
with his disciples. And the amazing thing is that that was the last passover
-
he celebrated with the design post because on that night our Lord and Sylia was
-
betrayed. Who has been betrayed here before, who has had a broken hat
-
before? I have had a broken heart before. It's not nice at all.
-
That night Jesus had a broken heart because he was betrayed. Amen,
-
he was betrayed. Amen. Anyone who has had a broken hearts, May
-
Jesus heal your heart. In fact, may He give you a new heart,
-
a heart that is strong, a heart that will never be broken by
-
any circumstance. Say amen, Amen. And so, according to tradition,
-
the Jewish tradition ist was not just couched out of a calendar butter or the
-
passover was based on an event that happened over four hundred or five hundred years
-
before that had to do with the children of his well being in bondage or
-
slavery in Egypt. And they had been in slavery or bondage for four hundred
-
years, and it was when they went into Egypt. They weren't carried into
-
Egypt as slaves. They went freely because God had made a way where Joseph
-
now had become the prime minister of Egypt, and so by proxy they went
-
and they had a place to live. They lived comfortably until Joseph died and
-
a Pharaoh came, who didn't know Joseph. I'm wondering how he didn't know,
-
after all that Joseph had done for them, it's amazing. And so
-
he decided that these people are growing, they are becoming too many, and
-
in fact, I see us becoming too many. That won't fit year amen,
-
And he said that let us enslaved. And so they enslaved everybody,
-
and so they became slaved. For four hundred years, four generations they were
-
in slavery in Egypt. And when they cried out to God for deliverance,
-
God had their cry and sent Moses to them. And after all that Moses
-
said and did, God had in the heart of Pharaoh that Pharaoh decided that
-
I want to let them go. He said, I want to let them
-
go until God brought the last card, the Calo card, and the Calo
-
card he was going to slay all the fast bonds of Egypt. And at
-
that moment God set emotion his redemptive plan for humanity. Because when Adam and
-
Eve sinned and they disobeyed God, there was an error that transpired and that
-
brought a big gap between God and man. And God was looking for an
-
opportunity to introduce his plan of redemption to humanity. And so God thought that
-
this is a good chance. I will use this to set the ground and
-
even the ground, make the plane flat, so that my plan can go
-
forward. Amen. And so according to Exodus Chapter twelve Ver's eighteen to twenty
-
Exodus Chapter twelve Ver's eighteen to twenty, God gave specifics on when he was
-
going to set his plan in motion. Please tell your neighbor for free.
-
God works in seasons. Tell your neighbor for free. God works in times.
-
Amen. I know there are some of you who don't wear a watch
-
because you're not conscious of time. Please preach your neighbor for free. God
-
works in seasons and God works in time. Amen. So if you're watch
-
is misaligned to God's watch, then you're out of place. You miss out
-
on what God doing. So God. The Bible says that in the first
-
month, on the fourteenth day of the month, at evening, you shall
-
eat and live in bread. So the Passover is also called the Feast of
-
and living bread. Amen. Until twenty Until the twenty first day of the
-
month at evening Verse nineteen, for seven days, no living shall be found
-
in your house, and living is east or yeast. We use it to
-
bake bread. Bakers will tell you that a little muscle of door when you
-
add yeast to it and expand and become a whole loaf of bread. As
-
to why God they didn't want the children of Israel to eat the whole loaf
-
when we meet him or ask him, but he says, no yeast in
-
your house. Amen. And then it goes on to say that that that
-
same person shall he cut off. Says that since whoever eats what is living,
-
that same person shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether
-
he is a stranger or a native of the land. Verse twenty, you
-
shall eat nothing living in all your dwellings. You shall eat and live in
-
bread. So that said the basis for the tradition of and living bread for
-
Passover. For want of time, I just kip, but I'll just give
-
you a summary so you can read when you get home. But going forward,
-
he said to the elders that everyone should pick a lamb a lamb and
-
sacrifice the lamb as the pass of a lamb. And because of what God
-
planned to do, which had to do with killing the first bones of the
-
Egyptians. He said that as part of my redemptive plan, I need to
-
secure those that have been consecrated to me. In Deutronomy sixteen, verse five
-
to eight. Won't read that, but just stay on the scripture. God
-
had consent created the first bonds of the children of Israel. And what it
-
means toate, it means to set apart. So God had set them apart
-
as his own. He says that because they belong to me, they are
-
mine. So they've been set apart. And because they've been set apart,
-
they might beloved. So then I can't kill them like I'm killing unbelievers.
-
So the redemptive plan of God was set in motion. Amen. And he
-
said that after you kill the lamb, put the blood, use his lb,
-
dip it into the basin where the blood is, and put it on
-
the lintel and on the door post. And he gave another instruction that no
-
one should leave the house. Stay in the house. Please tell your neighbor
-
stay in the house, because by staying in the house you are protected.
-
Amen. I was telling the first service people that if it was now children
-
of disobedience somewhere will go outside and go and play Chascilly and because of the
-
Angel of Death will get to them. But God had given a specific timeline
-
that the Angel of Death is coming. But do these preparations before them.
-
Amen. And so when the Angel of God was released and started to slaughter
-
the first bonds of the Egyptians, when he got to Goshen and found the
-
blood of the Lamb, he found that a sacrifice had already been done,
-
and so the Angel passed over. Amen, the Angel passed over. I
-
see the Angel of Death passing over you because of the blood of the Lamb
-
that has marked you. Amen. You will not die before your time.
-
Nothing will slot. I've heard so many accidents, testimonies. It is a
-
sign that God is with you. Because if God doesn't allow for you to
-
have an accident every now and then, you think that you are walking by
-
your own strength. Amen. So it is a sign it will happen.
-
It may happen, but your life will be preserved because of the blood of
-
Jesus. Amen. So ist or the festivity of Passover was based on this.
-
So it was as a remembrance of the deliverance of God for the firstborn
-
sons of the Israelites who are been consecrated onto God. Amen. So IST
-
is not about going to go. The essence of IST is not to go
-
and phrenicate on the mountaintop. The essence of IST is not to go and
-
ittomutu and palmsu. The essence of IST is not Easter Banese and eggs.
-
If you go to America and Europe and the rest, they are painting as
-
we are celebrating. They are painting eggs. They are coloring the eggs red,
-
gold, green. They're giving it ice, not smiley face. That
-
is what they are consumed with. But God forbid that we the heritage of
-
God, will stick with that arrow, and let that arrow proceed. No
-
child of yours will celebrate Easter Banese. You didn't hear me. I said,
-
no child of yours would replace the essence of IST with ex When we
-
read a Bible, did you see X in a Bible? God is not
-
interested in ex Amen. Please tell you about for free. God is not
-
interested in x Amen. And so the essence of Passover is serious because they
-
had to do with the matter of life and death. Had to do with
-
a matter of life and death. Amen. And so we need to align
-
ourselves in remembrance of this. Now fast forward, when Jesus was having the
-
Passover celebration with his disciples, he was prophetically telling his disciples that the Lamb
-
of God is going to be sacrificed, and the import of that is to
-
consecrate all the children of God. Amen. I was selling a group of
-
people that in the Kingdom of God, we don't apply for isa. Amen.
-
We are born into the Kingdom of God. We are berthed into the
-
Kingdom of God. So if you know anyone who does visa connection, they
-
can't give you a visa to Heaven the Kingdom or No, there's nothing like
-
that. Amen. And this is so because Christ Jesus, who is the
-
first born, was sacrificed so that we can have access into the Kingdom of
-
God. Can I hear? Amen? Oh? Amen? Amen. So
-
we celebrate ister in remembrance of what transpired as part of God's redemptive plan for
-
us. Amen. So, Palm Sunday today will not just be about waving
-
palms, but we have understanding that it is because of the Lamb of God
-
who was sacrificed, that is why we are celebrating this. Amen. And
-
so three places to remember. Three things to remember about ister. This one
-
is that it was about Passover that was the knights in Egypt, when God
-
executed his judgment over Pharaoh, allowing all the firstborn sons of Egypt to be
-
killed in order to liberate and to set his children free. Amen. The
-
second reason to remember Passover is that we remember the lamb of God that was
-
giving for our redemption. We remember the lamb of God that was giving for
-
our redemption. And so the sacrifice of the lamb whose blood was on the
-
lintel and on the door post, was a sacrifice of substitution. So the
-
lamb and the blood took the place. So when the Angel of Death saw
-
it, he knew that the sacrifice had already been done here. So I
-
don't need to come here. That blood is speaking, so I don't need
-
to come here. Amen. And so the essence of it to remember is
-
that God gave us a lamb whose blood is still speaking for us. Can
-
you say thank you Jesus for your blood. Amen. And so the sacrifice
-
of substitution has become a guarantee or what's a guarantee of protection for the fairst
-
bones. So that night there was mass mourning in Egypt. Every household was
-
mourning because the first child had died, but for the children of Israel,
-
because they had been protected by the sacrifice of the lamb that was rejoicing.
-
Amen, I see you rejoicing. Amen. In your life you will be
-
laughing. Amen. You'll be laughing for no reason. And people you think
-
that you've gone local. But when you remember the goodness of God for your
-
life, that which Christ Jesus has done for you, you will burst out
-
into a laugh of joy. Say amen. Amen. And so in chapter
-
one, verse twenty nine, John the Baptist, before he baptized Jesus,
-
when he saw Jesus come, he said, look, this is the Lamb
-
of God who takes away the sins of the world. Amen. So Jesus
-
is the Lamb that was sacrificed for us. The third thing to remember as
-
far as the Passover is concerned, is that the Passover signifies the exodus from
-
Egypt, the land of slavery, from Egypt, the land of hardship,
-
into liberty and into freedom. Amen. And according to the Word of God,
-
the children of Israel left Egypt richer than they entered Egypt. They entered,
-
they left Egypt, Richard. And when they were leaving Egypt were celebrating
-
the mass day of morning and mass burial of their first bones. But the
-
children of Israel were walking out singing a song Hallelujah, Hallelujah, hallelujah,
-
Hallelujai butali al ali. They were rejoicing as they were marching out of slapy.
-
I see someone marching out with rejoicing. Amen. I see you walking
-
out of bondage and slavery with rejoicing into your place of liberty. Say amen,
-
if you believe the word. Amen, And so the past over experience,
-
we can't from our calendar. Amen. That is why it will be
-
an injustice to God. If on this day we come and stand here and
-
tell you seven rules for becoming a successful businessman, it means we are robbing
-
God off our thanks because we have failed to remember. If is that the
-
only thing you remember is the chicken. Now you're going to eat their banka
-
you are going to eat. You are robbing God of the thanks he deserves
-
for that which he did. Amen. And so in comparison to look chapter
-
twenty two, they experience with Jesus and his disciples in the upper room where
-
he broke bread and gave to them and said, eat, this is my
-
body broken for you. And after supper he took the cap and gave to
-
them, saying, share, this is my bloodshed for you. This is
-
representative of the new Covenant. Amen. Jesus was prophetically reliving the Gaustan experience,
-
and he was foretelling his suffering that he was going to suffer on the
-
cross for you. And I Amen, we'll go into something deep a little,
-
and I hope some people begin to cry, because if you remember what
-
Jesus has done for you, I remember the nonsense you did yesterday, you
-
should begin to weep. Amen. But God will help us. Amen.
-
So the similarities between the Gaustan experience and the Look twenty two experience is that
-
that same Eastern night Jesus was betrayed. That same is that when Jesus was
-
planning towards the greatest sacrifice, that guy called Judas's carry out he had gone
-
and he was negotiating with the high priests and the captains how he can betray
-
Jesus, How he can give Jesus a broken heart? Amen. And he
-
negotiated, and they came to an agreed sum of money, and they had
-
a great payment terms how the more more the money to him and he would
-
be sorted, and how he would even betrayed the Lord going to give the
-
guy a case when you see me going look at me when I'm just when
-
I had somebody know when I give the guy a case. No, he's
-
the one arrest him. He had planned all of that a man while the
-
Master was preparing. Amen. The second similarities that on that night Jesus celebrated
-
hist with his disciples. So Jesus had a time of fellowship with his disciple.
-
First on one seven, the Bible says that if we dwell in light
-
as He is in light, we have fellowship with one another. Amen.
-
And so what is going to be in the next gen church going forward is
-
that there is going to be a lot of word bellowship. Amen. Please
-
preach your neighbor. There is going to be a lot of word below shape.
-
Amen. So that whole in christis same way you come to church entirely.
-
You see a human being by you, say hi, You come and
-
sit down as though it's air that is sitting by you. We are stopping
-
that nonsense. Amen, We are fellowshiping. If your neighbor passes by you
-
and doesn't greet you ten and say Christ in you. Amen. If your
-
neighbor sits by you and doesn't say say Christ in you, Amen, we
-
are going to flash out all the crisis. Amen. And we are going
-
to be christ Like because we are following after our Lord and Savior, Jesus.
-
Can you clap your hands for Jesus. Amen. The third similarity is
-
that during Easter or during the past over, Jesus Christ was offered to deliver
-
us all as the edge of the fifty three. Let's look at verse one
-
to seven, and I just want to dwell on this for a short while,
-
Amen. And we are praying that God will help us after the scripture.
-
Amen, as edge of the fifty three, us one who has believed
-
our report, and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
-
Best two? For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant.
-
And so this is talking about the Lord Jesus Christ. And as a root
-
out of the dry ground, he has no form or comeliness. Give us
-
another version that brings the comeliness into modern English. For us, Amen,
-
I can hear some people preaching here. If I get you preaching, I'll
-
give you the mic and I'll go and sid down. Do we all agree?
-
Amen? Amen? For the servant of God grew up before him like
-
a tender plant and like a root out of a dry ground. He has
-
no form or comeliness, royal kingly pomp that we should look at him,
-
and no beauty that we should desire him. The King of Glory, who
-
is the Word of God that brought to being and to bear everything we can
-
see and feel, because God said, let there be and the worst John
-
one one. The beginning was the Word. The world with the word was
-
with God. The word was God. The King of Glory decided to come
-
in humanity, in a form that there was no comeliness. There was no
-
pomp or pageantry with him. That even when one of the disciples, it
-
Andrew, who wanted to tell his brother that I've met the Mass, he
-
says, but what can come out of Nazareth? Can anything good come out
-
of Nazareth? He decided to come in this form as a lamb that is
-
not glorious, so to speak, a man, as part of God's redemptive
-
plan for us. That there was no beauty in him that we should desire
-
him. Next verse, he was despised he was rejected, he was forsaken
-
by men. I'm sure when Jesus was growing up he didn't have friends.
-
I'm sure, I'm sure people didn't. He wasn't popular, so people didn't
-
want to associate with him. But he was despised by men. He was
-
rejecting and forsaken by men. A man of sorrows and pains. Jesus was
-
acquainted with sorrows and pain. You think you know what broken heart is.
-
Jesus knows the feeling of broken heart. Amen. He was acquainted with grief
-
and sickness, and like one whom men hit their faces from, and was
-
despised. You see, after the five thousand people that Jesus fed with bread
-
and the fish, when Jesus was being beaten, they attended their back on
-
him. Although the leperds that he healed they had, they were not looking
-
at him. When the soldiers will have not brushed their teeth for six months,
-
were spitting on my Lord and my savior, they were just looking at
-
him. Pita, with all his Papa with a sword, he cuts somebody's
-
here. He had denied him three times already, do you understand? And
-
I believe that everywhere there will also do the same thing would have done,
-
or even worse, will take pictures and puts on social media. Charlie,
-
they are meeting the man. When the people are fighting, some people say,
-
Charlie, stop fighting. Then they bring out their phone. Movie time
-
there cinema would have put him on social media. Amen, And like one
-
from whom men hid their faces and was despised and did not appreciate his worth
-
or have any esteem for him. Amen. When you substitute the essence of
-
ister for Easter bunnies and Easter eggs, it means that you have denied Christ
-
Jesus his worth. You have not esteemed him. What he did on the
-
cross was is not enough for you. What you did on the cross is
-
not enough. So if you are still fighting and struggling with Charlie that thing
-
we call you are still embedded in deep sin. It means you are despising
-
the Lord because what he has done for you, you are not laying claim
-
to it, and you are not walking in that liberty, that Egyptian bondage
-
that you were held in, that by the blood that was shed he has
-
delivered you and set you free and say, my son go. You are
-
still marking time in that Egyptian bondage. Amen. Next verse, Please,
-
surely he has borne our griefs. The result of what happened with him on
-
the cross is that he bore all our griefs, our sicknesses, our weaknesses,
-
our distresses, and carried our sorrows and our pains. He has carried
-
it for us. Oh, we don't need to carry it anymore. He
-
has carried all our griefs. Amen of punishment. Yet we ignorantly considered him
-
stricken, smitten, and afflicted by God, as with leprosy. Amen.
-
And so if now that we are born again, we have been redeemed by
-
the blood, we have been set free by the blood the lamb of God
-
was sacrificed on the cross for us. If we are still wallowing in the
-
things of Egypt, then it means we are telling Jesus, that is all
-
that you did for us. Yes, we see it, but we don't
-
really value it like that. So we consider him stricken and smitten and afflicted
-
by God. Next verse, But he was wounded for our transgressions, all
-
our transgressions. Jesus was wounded for it. He was wounded for our transgressions.
-
How many of you have been wounded before. They have been wounded before.
-
I was walking in my home office one time, barefooted, and I
-
was rashing out of the office, and my pink, my little toe,
-
he hits the door. Charie, I was wounded. Like one month.
-
I still felt the wound, the pain of the wound. Now considering that,
-
Charlie, what Jesus are said? Hey, he was wounded. He
-
was bruised for our guilt and iniquities. He was what he was bruised.
-
The Bible declares that they beat him, that his face deformed the way you
-
like taking selfies. Imagine your face has deformed that you can't even recognize yourself
-
in your own picture. He was beating for us. The chastisement of our
-
peace and well being was laid upon him. What is required for us to
-
have peace was put on him, so that you and I can have peace.
-
Amen, So Easter, the passover, the feast of and living.
-
It is not about the mood to order that is waiting for you. It
-
is more than that. Amen. And with these stripes that wounded, the
-
stripes wounded. The Romans were very wicked in those days, so they won't
-
bring a callabonni cane. They had canes with stripes and metals. When they
-
whip you and they pull it, flesh will come out. So the seven
-
places Jesus shared his blood, one of them was when they whip him and
-
they pull it, flesh will come out, and blood will gosh out.
-
And all of that. He did it for you and I. Amen.
-
He did it for you and I so that we can be protected from death.
-
Because the wages of sin is that how many of you have say there
-
before, give the Lord away and shame the devil. Amen. The wages
-
of sin is what is death. So we are supposed to perish like the
-
first bones of Egypt. But because of the sacrifice on the cross, you
-
and I are still here. Amen. The son of God died. He
-
came and died, so the sons of men can become the sons of God.
-
So you and I can become the sons of God. It doesn't matter
-
what I say names are, doesn't matter where we're born, doesn't matter whether
-
I was starting a car before or not. But we also can be called
-
what sons of God? Amen, sons of God, Oh, sons of
-
God, My sons of God. He said much for it sons of God.
-
Amen, So you and I can become the sons of God. Please
-
give me my scripture. Amen. Next verse, all we like sheep,
-
have gone astray because we were like sheep. We had gone our own paths,
-
and we had turned everyone to our own way. And the Lord has
-
made to light upon him the guilt and the iniquity of us. All.
-
So, when Jesus died that shameful death on the Cross of Calvary, sometimes
-
when we talk about the crucifation, we make it seem so glamorous. Charlie
-
was a shameful death because our Lord was stripped. Amen. He was stripped.
-
He wasn't even wearing goo goo wars boxes. He was stripped. Amen.
-
Somebody said that if Jesus had known that Charlie, he probably had one
-
nice boxes. But it was shameful. He was stripped and he was nailed
-
to the cross, because the cross was the capital punishment for people in the
-
Roman Empire who fought against the Roman ways of living, rebellious people. By
-
Jesus was not rebellious, was he, No, he wasn't. But he
-
was crucified as a common criminal. So the redemptive plan of our Lord can
-
be set in motion for us. Amen. Let's look at Isaiah chapter fifteen
-
nine, verse sixteen. So on that night, the son of Man placed
-
himself as a bridge with all that Jesus suffered. He placed himself as a
-
bridge to bridge us back to God, to reconcile us back to God,
-
to redeem us back to God, to make us children of God back again.
-
The original intent of God for the guardian of Iden, Adam and Eve
-
now has been re established because of the lamb of God that hang on the
-
cross, so that we also can have that same experience. Now, God
-
doesn't need to come and walk with us in the garden in the cool of
-
the nights. Glory to God. God lives in us now, Oh,
-
hallelujah. He dwells in us now, hallelujah. He speaks to us now,
-
hallelujah. He is in us now so constantly, twenty four hours a
-
day. We have God with us, Amen, And he talks to us
-
through our spirit because of his redemptive plan, because he wanted to have fellowship
-
with Adam. And now because of Christ Jesus, God can have fellowship with
-
you. And I is God good? Has God been good to somebody?
-
Has God been kind to somebody? Has God saved somebody? Has God delivered
-
somebody? Amen? So the songwriter wrote, safe here the one you say
-
has come to ship you. So you should always have us of thanksgiving,
-
because what Christ Jesus has done for us is no beings, and Gobe is
-
greater than that. Amen is greater than that. So Jesus came finally to
-
bridge the gap between us and God. And in conclusion, on the same
-
night God placed on us the sprinkling of the blood. In the same night,
-
God placed on us the sprinkling of the blood. The Bible says that
-
the sprinkling of the blood speaks better things. The sprinkling of blood has the
-
ability to pedge our conscience from dead works. The blood speaks, and it
-
speaks better things. The blood of Jesus speaks the mind of God. The
-
blood of Jesus speaks the purpose of God. The blood of Jesus speaks the
-
will of God. The blood of Jesus speaks the overall plan of God for
-
us. Amen. So we are marked by the blood. And so because
-
we have been marked by the blood, the blood is speaking for us.
-
Because if the blood of Abel is speaking to God, how much more the
-
blood of Jesus who is speaking for us, the redemptive plan of Christ who
-
is speaking for us. The love of God who is speaking for us,
-
the kindness of God, the goodness of God who is speaking for us.
-
The intent of God for our lives that is speaking for us. The plans
-
of God are crying to Jeremia and I verse eleven that God says, I
-
know the plants and thoughts I have for you, not evil plans, but
-
good plans to bring you hope and the future. That even though you have
-
not sat in an aeroplane before, in the mind of God you will own
-
many planes. Though you have not owned a car before, in the mind
-
of God, you own many cars. That even though where you come from
-
people are born one and born two days, you don't have married. No
-
one is married there. But by God's grace you will have a good marriage.
-
You will have pleasant and godly children. A man that there won't be
-
fighting in your house. Your neighbors will not know you for fighting a man,
-
but there will always be peace in your dwelling. Because of this.
-
Amen. So the Blood speaks, and he speaks better things. Amen.
-
And during this time of Easter, My prayer for is that may the Blood
-
of Jesus speak louder for you, a man, far above any altar in
-
your bloodline, far above any blood that has been shed and put on any
-
altar to bring you down. May the blood of Jesus speak louder in the
-
name of Jesus, and by the speakings and the talkings of the Blood,
-
may you be set free from any form of bondage in this season. May
-
you be set free and be set loose into the liberty where which Christ has
-
saved and delivered you. That in this season you will not be the same
-
again. That in this season God can bring to bear his redemptive plan and
-
his agenda in your life. That in this season God's kingdom can be established
-
in you, and God's will will be done through you and in you.
-
That in this season you will be everything that God has said and purpose.
-
That in this season everything God has thought consenting you will come to pass,
-
and everything He has purposed concerning you will stand. That in this season you
-
will have the boldness to declare that I am a son of God. That
-
in this season you have the boldness to declare that I am a child of
-
God. Because of that which Christ Jesus has done for me on the cross
-
of Calvary. Can I hear an abe? Can you please stand on your
-
feeture, just for a moment. If you want to celebrate cheese Us,
-
feel free to celebrate Jesus because He's good and it's mercy sen jobs forever.
-
Amen. The sacrifice of Christ Jesus on the Cross of Calvary is the greatest
-
sacrifice ever made in humanity because the highest altar was established when the blood of
-
Jesus was sheard. Amen. And our advantage is that this altar was established
-
for our redemption. You want to pray for yourself and engage the blood of
-
Jesus and the talkings of the speakings of the blood that anything that has held
-
you back, anything that has held you bound, that from today, by
-
the blood of Jesus, you'll be set free and be set loose to fulfill
-
all that God has papers for you. Can you open your mouth and just
-
say that prayer to the Lord. Let's send me your name Jesus, raver
-

-
let your blood, the blood of your Son, the blood of the life

-
Before I take the altar call, we want to pray for our father,
-
the Archbishop Nicholas, Thankan Williams. We want to plead the blood of Jesus
-
over him, his household and all that concerns him. That any altar that
-
has been raised to fight his ministry, to fight his children, to bring
-
him head and to bring him pain. That according to God's word, those
-
whose minds are stayed on him, he keeps them in perfect peace. Because
-
his mind is stayed on God. And in the things of God. The
-
expectation or the outcome expected is peace. That we are praying for him,
-
that God will keep him in perfect peace, the lot of Jesus. We
-
speak better things for him. Can you open your mouth and pray for the
-
servant of God. Father. We come before you this morning bearing up the
-
arms of our father, the Archevish of Nicholas Duncan Williams. We pray,
-

-
Lord Jesus. Let the Blood of Jesus speak for your servant of God.
-
Let us speak for his household, his children. Let us speak for his
-
ministry in the name of Jesus. Let any altar that has been raised to
-
fight your servants, Oh God, this morning, as we engage the speakings
-
of the Blood and the talkings thereof, let every altar bow in the name
-
of Jesus. Let every contrary alter bow in the name of Jesus. Let
-
every contrary alter dissmate and be broken in the name of Jesus, by the
-
blood of the Lamb of God. Upon the greatest author that speaks and speaks
-
better things tonight on call, Let the Blood speak. Let the Blood of

-
close every head about If you are here, you're not born again you want
-
to surrender your life to Jesus. Or you are here, you're born again,
-
but you are not serious. If Jesus comes now, you'll be found
-
wanting you want to surrender your life to Jesus. This is the testimony God
-
has given to us that he who has a son has life. So if
-
you don't have the Son of God, you don't have life. If you
-
want the Son of God to have life, so that Heaven is open to
-
you, please come from wherever you are, walk to the front wherever you

-
in me, and make me all that you have purposed for me to be

ones with the precious blood of our covenant, which is the blood of the
-
Lamb of God. And I declare that they will not be prayed for the
-
enemy at any time the name of Jesus. They will not die before their
-
time. They will live to declare the works of the Lord in the land

-
than choosing a wife. I can't tell you because I'm married Inmen, so
