[1:01] In Jesus' name. Amen. We are about to start a journey. Bible journey. Hosting his presence.

[1:15] Hosting his presence. It's a year of great awakening. There must be revival. In our personal lives. In our church.

[1:26] In our churches. In London. And in the United Kingdom. And this generation. And when God is about to do something, he always looks for a man.

[1:40] And then a people. All right. Right. So God raises the people for a purpose. There's more to life than what you eat. Look chapter 12.

[1:51] I think verse 24, 25, 23 to 27. Somewhere there. It talks about. For sufficient unto the day. The evil thereof. Every day has evil in it.

[2:02] And it says. Which of you by worrying. Can add a cubit to your stature? Like you see. Verse 23 said. Life is more than food. And the body more than clothing.

[2:14] Tell someone. My life is more than food. Life is more than food. And body more than clothing. Body is more than clothing. So. Those of us.

[2:24] Who are focused just on. Working to get money. There's more to life than getting money. Yes. There's more to life than that. All right.

[2:35] There's more. There's got to be more to life. And there's more to life than. Hallelujah. Just what you wear. And what you eat. After you wear all of it. And you eat all of it.

[2:47] Have you realized that money people. When they become very very rich. And extremely rich. And keep being rich. After a while. They don't even care what they wear. They don't care what they wear.

[2:59] It's those who are just trying to get there. Who. But. Life is more than what you wear. It's more than what you eat. How many houses will you live in at a time?

[3:12] Excuse me. How many beds will you sleep on at a time? Do you understand what I'm trying to say? So then.

[3:23] Why do we live our lives. As though. The most important in life. Is what we get physically. Jesus puts it this way. He said. A man's life does not consist.

[3:35] In the abundance of his possession. Luke chapter 16. Yeah. It's in Luke chapter 16. A man's life does not. He said. Beware of covetousness. For a man's life does not consist.

[3:47] I think verse. Now it can be verse 15. Yeah. For a man's life does not consist. In the abundance of his possessions. So. The more you get. Is not.

[3:57] A guarantee. To a better life. Luke. 12 verse 15. He said. Okay. Take heed. Beware of covetousness. For a man's life. Does not consist. In the abundance. Of the things he possesses.

[4:10] So the things you have. Don't define the quality. Of your life. Most of us. Are worried and frustration.

[4:20] Has a lot to do. With the money we don't have. Money. Many of the prayer topics. Are money related. And many of the frustrations.

[4:36] We are going through. Are money related. But if you can. Switch. And do a shift. And make.

[4:47] Put the first things first. Bible says that. When you put the first things first. The command. It makes. The other things. Get added to you. It happens.

[4:59] Automatically. Somebody is blessed. I hear you. You can't be a prime minister. Of the United Kingdom. And you are going for a conference. In.

[5:12] Maybe. UN. New York. Or. Switzerland. Geneva. And they say sorry. There is no. Train or no. The planes are all full.

[5:23] That is not part of your problem. Because it comes with the office. The office will sort. You don't even talk to women. Your office sorts that out. So why is it that you are prime minister now. You have left the job. And you are making phone calls.

[5:35] Can you. With you and you and KLM. Which one is it? What is the cheapest flight? To New York. No. No. Just get the office and do your job.

[5:47] The other ones are added to it. It comes naturally. So I want to take my time. To talk about the essential things of Christianity. All right.

[5:58] I want to talk about that. I want to talk about that. The key things in life. And in Christianity. We got to know them. And these things.

[6:09] Watch this. We should never be tired of teaching them. We should never be tired of teaching on the Holy Spirit. We should never be tired of teaching on grace.

[6:21] We should never be tired of teaching on praise. We should never be tired of hearing about consecration. About our justification.

[6:33] That's what this whole thing is about. That we come to church because we are justified folks. We come to church because Holy Ghost comes. You know. So we. These things must be taught over and over.

[6:48] Last week the bishop said. His title was the church and the Holy Spirit. Someone will say. Oh but Holy Spirit we know all these things. No. You may know. But.

[6:58] You see. Faith comes. By hearing. And hearing. So you got to keep hearing. Peter wrote to them. Before he died. He wrote in Peter.

[7:10] He said. I know you know these things. But I'm writing to you again. So that after. After my departure. These things will stick with you. Repetition.

[7:21] Repetition. Fosters learning. All right. So it's very important. Some of us know some of these things. But we actually don't live it. And you know. Let me say this.

[7:32] Brothers and sisters. There's a reason why God has allowed me. And it's given me the mandate. You will not be tired. Even if you are tired. I won't be tired of talking about justification.

[7:43] The love of God. Forgiveness of sins. And getting out of your sins. I won't be tired of that. You can't be coming to church. And still living normal. The way you have been living. You can't be.

[7:54] You can't be. You are. At least. I mean. You can't be. You can't be a Christian. And nothing has really changed. We have to teach in love.

[8:07] Because. I said the other time. And I'm saying. There are people who are seated here. Maybe your leg is caught in something. And it's actually eating you. You are not happy with it. But sometimes.

[8:18] When the word of God comes. The power of God hits your sister. You feel that. I don't know if you know what I'm talking about. First Peter chapter one.

[8:30] Verse. Three. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Who according to his abundant mercies.

[8:41] Who according to his abundant mercy. Has begotten us. Again. To a lively hope. Through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. What are we being begotten into?

[8:52] A living hope. A living hope. Okay. A living hope. I think the other version uses it. Lively hope. He's begotten us again into a living hope. We've been begotten.

[9:03] You know what it means to be begotten? It's like you've been born. That's where this whole born again comes from. Alright. So. We've been begotten again into a living hope.

[9:16] A hope that is alive. We've been begotten. When we are in Christ. In John chapter 1.

[9:27] Verse 12 and 13. It talks about how. As many. For as many as receive him. To them he gave the right to become children of God.

[9:39] To those who believe in his name. Verse 13. Who were born not of blood. Nor of the will of the flesh. Nor of the will of man.

[9:50] But. Of God. Right. So as many as believe in him. He gave them the right to become. The sons of God. He gave them the right to become the children of God.

[10:02] In James said. Sons of God. So. Children are born. Alright. We start as children. We are born into God's family.

[10:13] So. In Ephesians. John chapter 3. Verse 3. It says. Except a man is born again. He cannot see. The kingdom. Of God. So. There is the need for.

[10:25] You and I. To be born again. Let's all say born again. Born again. So. Every human being. Must be born again. Why? Because. Listen to this very carefully.

[10:37] Some of us know it. But we will still say it. It's very important. Because. God created. Adam and Eve. And when he created them.

[10:48] He told them that. Just love. Willingly love me. Okay. He didn't force them into submission. He didn't force them into love.

[10:59] He created them. With free will. Alright. Free will. And he gave them the. Free choice.

[11:12] The freedom of choice. Okay. So you can choose whatever. There are varieties of so many things I've created. Let's choose whatever. And enjoy it. And he said there's only one.

[11:23] In spite of all the whatever's you have. Don't touch this one. Because he wanted them to exercise their will. To obey him. Even if it was inconvenient.

[11:35] Right. So some people will ask. But why did God put. The tree. There. If he didn't. If God had not put the tree there. They wouldn't have sinned. And wouldn't have been in this problem.

[11:47] Certain wouldn't have tempted them. That's what people may say. But. It doesn't complete the story. Because God created us. As objects of love. So that he wanted us to use.

[11:59] Our own free will. To choose to love him. So that he didn't. Doesn't have to look like. A force. Some of you. If you had your own free will. You would have chosen.

[12:10] The family you would have been born in. Yeah. Many.

[12:21] People would have wanted to choose. Choose different mother. Different father. And I know what some people are thinking about.

[12:32] They would have chosen to be born. In that royal family. So. You see. You don't know.

[12:43] Some of them to wish. They were born as normal. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Rich man envy. Poor man. Poor man. Envy the rich.

[12:56] Therefore what is a sense in a. Some of you know that song. Life in this world is a great struggle. For both the young and old.

[13:08] And even those who have great riches. Have troubles of their own. Rich man envy. Poor man. Poor man. Envy the rich. Oh. Therefore what is a sense in envy.

[13:20] So it's very important to realize that. God wanted us to use our own free will to choose.

[13:33] So the issue of Adam was not he was trying to tempt Adam. All right. But he wanted Adam to use his own free will to say I will obey God. Amen. And Bible says in Romans chapter 5 verse 12.

[13:45] Let's already out loud from the screen. Please can you put it on the screen for us. Let's read. Let's go. Therefore just as through one man sin entered the world. And death through sin.

[13:57] And death spread to all men. Because all sinned. Did you see that? How many people sinned in the beginning? All. How many? Just as one man sin entered.

[14:10] Said therefore all have sinned. Very interesting. So this whole thing about sin. All have sinned. Is not talking about what you have done per se. So even if you haven't done anything since you were born.

[14:24] You are a sinner. A sinner. So a person is not a sinner because of what they do. But they are sinners because of what Adam did. It's as simple as that.

[14:34] So in the verse 19. I think verse 19 of Acts chapter. Sorry. The same chapter. Romans 5. In the verse 19. It talks about how for us by one man's disobedience.

[14:46] How many were made sinners? How did you become a sinner? How did you become a sinner? One man's disobedience. Oh. So you didn't have to do anything to become a sinner?

[14:56] No. Did you see that? That's the whole issue of man. That's the problem of man's sins. So man's sin isn't because you have done something.

[15:06] There is the. Someone asked me in my office. I said that's a good student of the Bible. When you read the Bible very carefully. Listen to what I'm coming to say. When you read the Bible very carefully. Particularly in the book of Romans. Right. Romans is a legal document.

[15:18] It talks about our salvation from a legal standpoint. How the law was requiring this. And you broke the law. And how you were free by the law. And all that. All right. And Romans use.

[15:30] It talks about sins and sin. So when you read Romans. You find out that there are places that use the word sins. And there are places that use the word sin.

[15:40] Particularly from chapter 1 to chapter 5 verse 12. He practically focuses on sin. Sin. Singular.

[15:52] Then from chapter 5 verse 13. Upwards. It talks most of the time about sins. So the first one is sin personified.

[16:05] Now read it again. Put it in chapter 5 verse 12 again. Let me show you something. So you see this one. So just by one man.

[16:16] One man. One man. Sin. And who? Who entered? Have you realized sin has been personified? Sin came in. Ah. Who is this? It's like a personality. Right.

[16:28] A personality. So what deals with sin? The sin personality is the cross of Christ. It breaks the power of sin.

[16:38] What deals with our sins is the blood of Christ. You get it? The blood of Christ washes us from our sins.

[16:52] But the cross of Christ attacks sin. The person. Sin is a person. So in Romans chapter 7 it says that the good things I want to do, I cannot do.

[17:05] And the things I don't want to do, I do. And therefore, it's not me. If I do the things I do not want to do, it's not me. Then, if then I do what I will not do, I agree with the law that it is good.

[17:22] Verse 17. But now, it is no longer I who do it. But what? Sin. Sin what? Sin. Do you see that?

[17:32] Somebody's living inside me. Somebody's living. It's like, you know, well, something is inside you. And it's eating all the food you eat.

[17:48] Did you understand? Sin inside me. So, now, where did this sin come from? Adam sinned and then he got the chance. So, he was always around.

[18:00] And as soon as Adam sinned, he stepped in. He entered into the human race. So, he says that, therefore, by one man's disobedience, sin entered. And sin doesn't come alone.

[18:12] No. Did you come alone? No. No. Verse 12. Verse 12. Put it back on the screen, please. Verse 12. Look at this. Let's all read it together. Let's go. Therefore, just us.

[18:23] Read it out loud. Let's go. Therefore, just us, who are our sin, is the Lord. And death will sin. And thus, death will sin. To all men. Because all have sin.

[18:34] Did you see that? So, sin, he has got his ally. Death is the class captain of sin. So, as soon as sin comes in, ah, death will follow. Death followed sin.

[18:47] Oh, we are going to have some exciting times here. Yes. Exciting times. I'll be dealing more in Romans. I'll be talking about sin and death.

[18:57] To explain the thing. And to see how you have been elevated to a higher plane. A reality. And so that where you are becomes your reality. You live from that reality.

[19:10] The realm of the word. It's like Jesus. When you read the word, Jesus is talking to you. And you live that reality. Now, listen. The gospels were talking about how Jesus came in the flesh as God. But he never spoke about what Jesus is doing for us after his resurrection.

[19:24] The gospel is just historic account. Which is very necessary. Because Jesus wouldn't qualify to save us if he had not lived. Why am I saying that? Because, oh.

[19:36] You see. We have not just been saved. But we. For us to. For you to be able to stand before God. It's not your debt that needs to be paid.

[19:48] But you must have the audacity. What it takes to stand before him. The righteous stands. So the law requires. That there must be righteousness in you. Before you can approach God.

[20:00] But you can't fulfill it. So Jesus had to come and live a physical life. And accrue the interest of righteousness. So that now when you ask your sins are forgiven. It's not just. He also gives you righteousness.

[20:11] Hey. Shout out hallelujah. Hallelujah. So Adam sinned. Not because God wanted him to sin.

[20:23] But he failed the test. Don't say, okay. If I did not wait for Adam. No, no. God said no. The response you will not be out for Adam now. Because there is a door called Adam. There are two doors. Both doors are called Adam.

[20:34] One is called first Adam. The exit is called last Adam. So that we all enter through first Adam. But you exit through.

[20:44] So if you still stay in the room. In spite of the fact that the room is so hot. Or it's so cold. And you say, oh, I'm catching a cold. Or something. The gas. It smells funny gas.

[20:55] And you stay in the room. And whose fault would it be? No, it will not be the fault of the door. It's your fault. Because, yes. You know when you're going through some shops.

[21:07] There's entry and exit. The entry doors. The automatic ones. They open when you get there. But if you try to exit from that door. It won't open. So, no.

[21:18] You are saying that the door is not open. No. But there's an exit. It's called last Adam. Jesus. So Jesus is the last Adam. He's the last Adam.

[21:30] The second man. He became the last Adam. So, via him, you can exit from this curse. So now you can't blame Adam anymore. You have to blame yourself if you go to hell.

[21:42] You have to blame yourself if you are going through hell. You have to blame yourself if you are not enjoying the goodness of God. You have to blame yourself for everything. Not Adam. Because God has given to us all that pertains to life and godliness.

[21:58] Now, let me also say this. Because of what I'm teaching is necessary. I don't know. We are going to be teaching this for a long time. Because there are a lot of people who are going to be getting born again these days.

[22:10] And they must understand. They must understand that we are not in church to have fun. Life is a big opportunity to enjoy when you are in Christ.

[22:23] Because he said, I have come that you may have life and have it more abundant. John 10. More abundant. So, life in abundance. He came for that. But coming to church is not just come and sing and dance and go.

[22:35] We sing with God. We are praising God. But we got to know the terms of our engagement. You must know what you have come into. The devil will take advantage of you.

[22:47] When do you know who you are? That's when you... You don't even have to always command demons. They will see you and they will be running away. Shout hallelujah. Hallelujah. So, it's necessary to know who you are.

[22:59] Your identity in Christ. Bible talks about in him. That's why I want to focus on explaining this. But before I go further. Many people... There is this...

[23:10] It's called... Theologians call it demythology. Okay. You know mythology? Myth. Mythology. So, to demythologize.

[23:22] You know what you mean? So, when they say something, it's a myth. It's not real. It's fiction. They create it. All right. So, when they say to mythologize something, to make it a myth.

[23:34] Does that make sense? Make sense? All right. So, to demythologize is to make it not sound mythical. There's a difference between demystifying.

[23:46] Okay. When something is mystic. There's a difference between demystifying and demythologizing. Now, I want to... The reason I'm bringing this... People... You see the story of Job. Yeah. In the Bible. They said...

[23:57] People say it's just... It's not real. Fire is this... So, they try to demythologize scripture. Because their minds don't get around it. The same with Adam and Eve's story.

[24:10] They say, oh, it's not fruit they ate. But they went to sleep. The Bible says it's fruits. When... He said they've got...

[24:21] They went... They knew each other. They made love. So, that's why God was upset. Now, but how would they have increased? That's how God created them. So, it's...

[24:32] Procreation... It's necessary for procreation. Am I talking to somebody? Yeah. So... But they try to demythologize scripture to water it down. So, when Jesus was being tempted.

[24:43] They say it's not that the devil came in like a serpent. The devil is not a serpent. It's just something was his mind. He was having hallucinations. The Bible didn't say hallucinations. He said Satan said to him. What's your problem?

[24:54] Hey. Do you understand what I'm saying? So, people try to demythologize scripture or allegorizations. They try to read into the text.

[25:06] Try to create scenes around the text which doesn't really exist. Like Jesus Christ. He went there himself and he was so hungry. He began to see. How can you see the whole world on a mountain?

[25:18] Do you know what mountain we are talking about? How about talking about the Mount of God? They are stuff. So, if you try to allegorize that, you know, it's just, he was trying to, when he said, I have seen this, what he meant was, the Bible didn't say that.

[25:34] So, why don't you leave the Bible? As this. Leave what the Bible says, he said, as it is. He said, God created the heavens and the earth in six days. What's your problem? Six days?

[25:45] The Bible says six days. Why do you want to say, oh, it's more than that. It's six years. But God has a way because one day he said, he said six days. He said six days.

[25:58] Leave it like that. Now, in fact, whether it's 28 days or two days, how does he affect you? Do you understand that? So, what I'm trying to say is that people try to demythologize scripture when it comes to Adam and Eve and they say things like, oh, it wasn't a serpent that tempted them.

[26:17] It wasn't a fruit they ate. They try to, you know, what I don't. I'm talking about Christians. Christian preachers. But it's always safer. Leave the scriptures the way it is and try and understand what he's trying to say.

[26:30] Instead of reading, it's called asegesis. You read into the text. Don't read into it what he's not saying. Someone shout hallelujah. Hallelujah. Why is pastor telling us all this?

[26:41] It's because some of your counterparts who read, who like reading. You may not. But those who like reading will come across all kinds of stuff. And at least you shouldn't be ignorant.

[26:52] And then when some of you who read, you read and you begin to discover things that there are a lot of stuff. Why is it that when we come to church, it's only receive, receive, receive, receive, receive, receive.

[27:03] Now, if you don't know what the terms of your receptivity or reception is, you will be suffering in life. You have said amen, amen, and nothing is working. It's because you actually don't understand anything. The truth is that most of the time we come to church, we are praising God.

[27:16] People think it's just dance we are doing. Oh, today we dance too. Hey. Hey. No, let me tell you something. Let me tell you something. The scripture that has affected my life big time is in Hebrews.

[27:34] It says that be followers of those who through faith and patience have obtained the promise. So before I follow you, I have to see what you have obtained through faith and patience.

[27:49] I can listen to how you are showing me. Because I want to say I should follow you. By God's grace, when God linked us to bishop and we started feeding and from some of other great men of God.

[28:03] Haven't you seen, how many of you have changed? I have to see how many of you have changed. Yes. Yes. This is how many of you have changed. My papa. They love you. Bless you. He's blessing you from his spirit. And since I caught that grace and after I encountered with God and I started blessing like that, you see many testimonies.

[28:18] Most of the testimonies we have in church is not because pastor laid hands on me. Because pastor said. And the man of God declared. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Are you getting what I'm saying?

[28:29] Yes. Yes. So, the people I follow, it's interesting, last week I was listening to papa. Papa said that if you don't, if you are praying and you don't get wild, sometimes you have to, he quoted a scripture for God, he was saying that it's with a loud noise.

[28:43] Praying. Loud noise. Oh, Lord. Look at papa praying. And see the results around him. I think I like the results, so let me follow him. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.

[28:53] Yes. Since the 92 days and this, haven't you seen the results? Yes. Yes. Yeah. Look, don't die in silence. Even if you die, make sure, open your mouth.

[29:05] Yes. Is someone getting what I'm saying? Yes. I'm telling you. God sent me.

[29:16] Yes. And I'm your pastor. Yes. I want you, I want you to be well with you. Yes. If you listen to me, it will help you. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. And by God's grace, he has given me understanding into what we do.

[29:29] Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.

[29:40] Yes. Yes. Yes. I'm teaching on new creation realities. And I live it. Do you understand what I'm saying? So these are the things that I underget this work we do.

[29:52] It's very important. It undergets the work we do. I believe in these things very strongly. But there's one thing that I will not allow anybody to take away from us and tell me that, oh, once you are born again, it's enough.

[30:03] It doesn't matter. Not everyone can be healthy. The devil is a... I won't sit down for sickness to just be hanging around your head and I say, it matters. Yes. Do you understand what I'm saying?

[30:14] So the full gospel is your prosperity is also included. So they tell you that you have to suffer in life and it doesn't matter. Don't believe God for a car. What is... How does it affect God if you believe him for a car?

[30:28] How does it affect him? Bible said... Read your Bible. He said, if he did not spare his one son but gave him to... Why would he... Romans chapter 8, verse 31, 32, particularly 32, 33.

[30:41] He said, why will he not also with him freely give us all things? In what way does he glorify God if I can't pay my bills? Am I making some spirit?

[30:52] So we need to... So much as we need to win souls into God, all right? That's our primary... God, that's the most important thing.

[31:03] And forgiveness of sins. We have to teach these things. It's necessary. And that's the main thing. So we have to keep the main thing the main thing. But it doesn't mean... It doesn't mean other things are not necessary.

[31:15] You don't like dessert. Someone does. You eat once and for all. But someone will have starter and then first course, second course, and then dessert.

[31:33] Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. So it's very important to realize that sometimes people in their attempt to try to sound very spiritual, very scriptural, will miss some basic things.

[31:46] That is the respect which makes other people and they themselves may be victims in life. You can be born again, but you can be a victim in life. Please. You have to be a deep worshiper. You have to be a deep worshiper.

[31:59] But Paul told the man, you'll be blind for a season. And the man went blind. Now, I want results. You tell me that you are so anointed you can do what Jesus did and more.

[32:11] So you just walk by. Someone, he said, come out. And the demons are coming. I'll follow you. Just show me by your results. He said, no. Don't talk too much.

[32:22] He said, you look at what I do. That will tell you who I am. Do you understand what I'm saying? Because most of us, we become so much easy victim.

[32:34] Papa. The man, he doesn't take any medication. The man is strong. He said, I can't be sick. And for 20 years, he has not been sick. He's strong.

[32:45] Do you understand what I'm saying? And people, he just declared, you are receiving your child. If you don't have a child, receive a miracle. And someone who tapped into it, who has been struggling with childbirth.

[32:59] Doctors tell your womb cannot carry a baby for one month. One baby for one month. Because the man of God declared four quadruplets, born on one day.

[33:10] For nine, carried for nine months. The same womb. By that same womb. The same womb. With the declaration. These are the things that is about to happen here. Yeah. Do you understand why I talk the way I talk?

[33:23] Yes. Because I have the mandate from above. It says that I prophesied as I was commanded. The brother said documents have been waiting for months. It normally takes so many months.

[33:35] He brought the document. We provide. Someone will say, it's not necessary. Why do you have to bring documents here? Why do you have to bring documents? All these things. It's just, it's just. You see, people will try and talk some things down.

[33:48] But to those who are, it's been sent to. And they connect. It's working for them. It's giving them answers. It's giving them answers. I mean, look at this young, young lady.

[34:00] Says that my friend will give him hours to live or something like that. One hour to live. And she prayed. Anointed herself. And that thing, the story changes.

[34:12] Do you know what I'm saying? You know there are people who tell you that anointing oil is not necessary. They're not best anointing oil. And sometimes, she don't look too far. Don't look too far.

[34:29] Do you know what I'm saying? I'm trying to help somebody to understand this thing. So that's why it's my responsibility. God told me a few weeks ago to teach on new creation realities.

[34:41] So someone, because it's a season of great awakening. Say new creation. So I was trying to explain why the new creation is important, is necessary. Why do we need to be born again?

[34:52] Because Adam sinned. And because of Adam sinned, he plunged us all into sin. In Romans chapter 6, verse 23 says, the wages of sin is dead. You're dead. But the gift of God is eternal life.

[35:03] Romans chapter 3, verse 23 says that, for all have sinned and are falling short of the glory. How many have sinned? How many? And then when you sinned, what happens to you? Fall short of God's glory.

[35:17] You fall short of God's glory. So we look at you and we can tell in your life that things are not working the way to you. We can tell. The glory, the honor that God created us, we are missing it.

[35:29] Because of the sin problem. The sin problem is a big problem. If you are here, you are not born again. You are listening to me, you are not born again. The sin problem is a big problem. It's not a religious thing.

[35:41] It's not a religious problem. It's a life problem. It's a life. It's a sin. It's like, it's a cancer of life itself. Alright?

[35:53] So it's a cancer of your life itself has cancer. Not cell. But the life itself. But thanks be to God for his goodness. Alright?

[36:04] So now, when you get born again, because I've just explained quickly, why do we need to be born again? Because we are all born. So we were born into Adam. So you have to be born again. So you exit Adam into Christ.

[36:16] Alright? Christ is called the second man or the last Adam. Alright? So let me show you the scripture. 1 Corinthians chapter 15, verse 45. Look at verse 45 on the screen.

[36:28] It says that, So it is written, The first man, Adam, became a living being. The last Adam. You see where Christ is the last Adam? The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.

[36:40] So Christ is the last Adam. You are in a new family. When you are born again, you are in a new family. Right. So you are in a family of God.

[36:51] And these are the realities of our Christian work. When you are born again, you have been joined into the family of God. So your natural family matches, it can have an impact on you. Right.

[37:02] Your spiritual family is a higher reality. But the problem is, the truth is, the truth is, people are born again, and impact from their natural family is still manifesting in their life.

[37:12] Why? Because they have not been taught how to live it, activate the new man, the new reality. There's something you have to do. I'm working, but you have to work it. It's working for me, but you have to work it.

[37:24] To activate your new reality. Jesus said, you couldn't wait for, staring with me in prayer for one hour. Even one hour. I mean, one hour is the least.

[37:35] There's nothing wrong with long prayers. Don't come and tell me, I say, Father, what in heaven? Hello by the way. Is it not two minutes? And after that, what again? Do you know what I'm saying?

[37:47] I'm telling you the truth. Jesus prayed regularly. Sometimes he will leave the house and go into the, find to the, be praying. And the Bible says, in the days of his flesh, he prayed with loud cries.

[37:58] Hebrews chapter 5 verse 7. He prayed with loud cries. Hebrews 5 verse 7. Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with what?

[38:09] Vehement cries. And tears. Yeah! So even on the cross, he did that. Bible says, he cried aloud. Are you seeing what I'm saying?

[38:20] He says, he was always praying. So when he comes into public, what he demonstrates, is as a result of his intensity in prayer in private. So the demons see him, they begin to shut up. But you, you are not even praying that much.

[38:32] And then the little time you get to pray, to, you are going to play, a diplomatic player, like a president. God, if it's always your will, just do it.

[38:43] Prayer is petitioning. What is petitioning? Asking.

[38:55] You are making a request to an authority. There's nothing wrong in expressing your desire in prayer. Jesus said, when you pray, you shall have what you desire in Mark chapter 11.

[39:08] So when you come to God in prayer, you express your petition. to God. It's all part of our new creation realities. Prayer. Somebody's blessed.

[39:21] I am he. I say someone is blessed. I am he. Say it louder. Someone is blessed. I am he. Praise the Lord. Hallelujah. So why do we, I've explained the reason why we need a new creation and what happens when you do it.

[39:37] I'm going to, I want to talk briefly about when you are born again. the things that happen. What has actually happened when you become born again? Seriously. Number one, you like this. I want to clap for what I'm about to say before I even say it.

[39:53] That's a big thing, man. When you are born again, you have what is called forgiveness of sins. That's a big thing.

[40:05] Listen, it doesn't matter what you have done. What God cares about is what he has done. You didn't hear what I said.

[40:17] It does not matter what you have done. What moves God is what he has done. So if you can align yourself to what he, Christ, has done, then what you have done becomes redundant.

[40:29] It becomes irrelevant to God. I'm not saying what you are doing. I say what you have done. There are two different things. All right. There are two different things. At the same point, you take advantage of Jesus forgiving what we have done and think that because of that, I can continue doing.

[40:45] I will do it today and tomorrow it will become done. And then you take care of my done. Jesus said, those who accuse you, where are they?

[40:57] They are nowhere. He said, therefore, go and sin no more. I also accuse you not. So there is a no more when you come to Christ. All right. So someone say, I have forgiveness of sins. I have forgiveness of sins.

[41:08] You don't believe it? I do. So why didn't you say? I have forgiveness of sins. Say it again. I have forgiveness of sins. And then, Ephesians chapter 1 verse 7.

[41:22] These are common scriptures. I want you to see quickly. Write them down. Ephesians chapter 1 verse 7. And then Colossians chapter 1 verse 14.

[41:33] Talks about, in him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace. So when you are born again, what do we have? Redemption and forgiveness. I'm talking on forgiveness of sins.

[41:44] The second one is redemption. All right. You have been redeemed. This is a serious one. So from that text, you can see that it says, we have redemption. What is redemption? You have been bought back.

[41:55] All right. Prices have been paid, and you have been bought back. You have been, someone has legal ownership of you, and someone pays the price and brings you back from that wicked person's hands.

[42:08] Or the one who is not supposed to have you, but because he has the right, legal ownership. So redemption means that you have been bought back. Someone say, I'm redeemed.

[42:18] I'm redeemed. Redeemed from the, Colossians chapter one, verse 14. It says that, for we have been redeemed. In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins.

[42:30] All right. So we have redemption again through his blood, and we have the forgiveness of sins. Yeah. It says, he has delivered us from the pires of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of his dear son.

[42:41] Then the verse 14 talks about in whom we have redemption through his blood. You see the word through his blood? You see the word through his blood? The agent for your redemption is the blood of Jesus.

[42:52] So he shed his blood to redeem you. It's very important. You have been redeemed. In Galatians chapter three, chapter, yeah, chapter three, verse 13.

[43:05] Galatians chapter three, verse 13. It talks about how Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law. It's a serious one. Nobody can redeem you from a curse.

[43:18] But when you are in Christ, you have been redeemed from the curse of the law. What's a curse? Curse is definitely, yes, the absence of God's presence with you. God turns his face away from you.

[43:29] It's a curse. But that's what gives the enemy, the demons, chance to come in more. They're rushing with anything. So your life becomes like a rubbish dump for demons. That's a curse. If you are cursed, if you are living under a curse, your life is like a rubbish dump for demons, Satan and his demons.

[43:46] Everything they don't like, they bring it to you. So when demons are cast out people, they say, okay, there's an available one over there, the nearest available. So I am redeemed.

[43:58] I am redeemed. That's what redemption means. Redeemption is you have been brought back. In 1 Peter chapter one, verse 18 and 19. Knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things like silver and gold from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, but what?

[44:15] But you have been redeemed by the precious blood of Christ as of a lamb without blemish or without spot. So you have actually been redeemed from the curse of the law. You have redeemed from the judgment of God.

[44:28] You have been redeemed from the power of the devil, Satan's hold. God's hold. That's what it means. So anyone who is born again, it's not physical. It doesn't start physically, but you will show, you will see the effects in your physical life.

[44:44] Do you understand what I'm saying? When you are born again, you should see the effects in your physical life. You must see. Not just the things you stop doing. The things you stop doing allows the communication with God go smooth, uninterrupted.

[44:57] Right there, I mean, when I say the things, things that will not help your relation with God. But apart from that, the blessing of the law, it says that he has redeemed, Galatians 3, verse 13 again, for he has redeemed from the curse of the law.

[45:11] Why? It says he has redeemed from the curse of the law. For it's written, curse anyone who hangs, anyone who hangs on the tree. Why? Verse 14 is the most important. That the blessing might come upon us.

[45:22] So he didn't just redeem you for you to stay around. He redeemed you so that something must come upon your life. God is trying to put something on your life, but there is this thing on you that is not making its land. It's called a curse of the law because of our actions, because of where we are coming from, because of the conditions of our life.

[45:37] The blessing of God cannot rest on us. So first of all, you have to be redeemed from that state. So he redeemed us, not just for the sake of redemption. He redeemed us that the blessing of Abraham.

[45:48] Shout, I am blessed. I am blessed. Do you see what I'm talking about? When you are born again, what has happened to you is that you have been forgiven. Number two, you have been redeemed.

[46:00] Because I just spoke I was blessed. Let me do the blessing on my three then. You have been blessed. Say, I am blessed. I am blessed. Ephesians chapter one verse three. I would like us all to read it on the screen together.

[46:12] Are you ready? Let's all read it out loud. Let's go. Blessed be the God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in heaven.

[46:23] What has he done to us? Blessed us with every spiritual blessing. When did he bless us? When will he bless us? When will he bless us? When will he bless us? When is the blessing coming? He has blessed us. He has blessed who?

[46:34] Us. Who is the us? Me. See, it's very important. If Jesus is not your Lord and Savior and he's not the Lord over your life you are not part of the us. It's very important.

[46:47] So once you are in the us he has blessed. There is a blessing on your life already. Since when? When you became born again. He blessed. Can I show you this as well?

[46:58] Galatians chapter three verse nine. This is all part of it. So let me just. Galatians chapter three verse nine. Someone shout I'm blessed. I am blessed. Let's read it out loud. Let's go. So then.

[47:10] Those who have faith are blessed in him. Once you have faith in Jesus guess what? You are blessed with Abraham. So when Abraham was being blessed he was not blessed alone. Your name was there. Your name was inside.

[47:23] Even though you were blessed before you were born. You were blessed before you showed up. Shout I'm blessed. Shout I'm blessed. I'm blessed. When were you blessed?

[47:34] When he was blessing Abraham. When he was blessing Abraham. When Abraham was securing the blessing you were there. Because he says that so then those who are of faith put it back on the screen please.

[47:47] So that those who are of faith so that those who are of faith are blessed with believing Abraham. Abraham. So when Abraham was being blessed you were blessed with him.

[47:58] But just that if you don't come to faith that blessing will never be materialized. So do you see how serious it is if you are not born again and you are supposed to be? If you are not born again that means that a lot is going waste.

[48:11] Ah! I like this one. Thank you Holy Spirit. Listen. At every stage of your life there is a blessing waiting for you. So if you don't get born again on time and you say I'll wait when I'm old and I don't have strength.

[48:25] They use this they make statement like when I finish enjoying. Enjoy what? You're killing yourself. You're enjoying what? You actually enjoy when the blessing of God is on you. When I finish enjoying my life and using myself the way I want then I will serve God.

[48:41] But that time when you are 40 you are 50 you are 60. How much strength have you got to be able to really enjoy the goodness of God? When I got born again when I got born again I regretted so much I was thinking ah!

[48:56] This is so good why didn't I get born again far earlier? How many of you know what I'm talking about? I should have been born again earlier. Oh no! I miss out so much! Alright.

[49:06] So what I'm saying is that there is a blessing waiting for you to be married for your marriage for your first child for your second. Why do you have to finish having children before you get born again? Because there's blessing for all that journey.

[49:20] Where were you blessed? With Abraham when God was blessing he blessed you too. So when you get born again you activate it begin to work for you. Someone shout I'm blessed. Shout I'm blessed. Listen from this day onwards if you are born again don't walk in town feeling sorry for yourself.

[49:36] Even if you are in between jobs don't feel sorry for yourself. Even if you are in between homes don't feel sorry for yourself. If you are not married yet don't feel sorry for yourself. You are not one of those singles who are aimless who are bless bless less.

[49:51] Alright. If someone say oh you are not my kind of man my kind of woman let them know they have missed the blessing. shout I'm blessed.

[50:03] Amen. Shout I'm blessed. Amen. Shout I'm blessed. Amen. Shout I'm blessed. Amen. If you are not saved you are not safe because life is dangerous.

[50:16] Life is not under your command. I don't see why I should end this service without giving you an opportunity to say yes Lord pastor pray with me because I want to have this bread. means I want to put all my confidence in him all my hope in him I want to give my life to Jesus.

[50:30] If that is your genuine desire just lift up your hand and say this after me say it genuinely from your heart say Lord Jesus I know I'm a sinner I've sinned against you I ask you to forgive my sins wash me with your blood thank you Lord for dying on the cross to save me from today I will serve you I believe in you I put all my hope in you I put my faith in you as my Lord and personal savior I receive you into my life I make a vow with you that I'll serve you all the days of my life Satan get behind me I don't belong to you I belong to Jesus thank you Lord for saving me in Jesus name Father I thank you your word says that you know your sheep and your sheep know your voice no one can come to you except your father brings him I pray that let your grace be upon them help them to be strong I pray that the grace of God will come upon you the power of the Holy Spirit will come upon you and help you to be a strong Christian in Jesus mighty name
