Sermon note (4th svc)
– Pastor Prince
Extract from TBN –
Those that enter by Southern gate must not return by Southern gate. U come to the Lord with burden, u exit with free and light.
You enter by Southern gate and exit by Northern gate. You come to the Lord and you will not come out the same.
Jesus when He was on the earth, He did not struggle to produce it. Don’t try to be the branch, just let Him flow and receive.
Jesus depended on His Father, the Source.
Paul said I testify to the gospel of the grace of God.
Under grace, God forgive us already!
——
All those who took time to go and serve in Israel, they came early 3 hours before the event. They were there to make sure all is ok.
The church thank you!
Our church people have some of the greatest testimonies.
One of the board directors of TBN, he shared that most places he goes to, those who spoke badly about us, he asked if they have seen his church people? The people are radiant, joyful and know they are loved by God. Stability !
The gospel of grace makes you generous.
The whole world is full of hypocrites. We are not perfect.
Jesus repute the self-righteous ones. Is because He loves them.
This video we are showing, portrait the love of Jesus.
See Jesus in the places we go in Israel.
Mount of Beatitudes
When Jesus cleansed the leper, leprosy is something when one contract it one need to live by himself.
The leper could have hidden at one of these rock from the multitudes. He could have seen and hear Jesus without the multitudes seeing him. The bird rested on the rock. It is as if the bird saying, God feeds me, how much more will He feed you.
The multitudes must have seen a cleansed man, so they won’t stone him. He was cleansed by Jesus.
I am willing. Be cleansed.
Psalms 147:3-5
He heals the heartbroken
and bandages their wounds.
He counts the stars
and assigns each a name.
Our Lord is great, with limitless strength;
we’ll never comprehend what he knows and does
There are xx numbers of stars, but today Science will tell you there are millions of stars not discovered. No one can count the numbers of stars and none can fathom the human sorrow and human hearts.
God can count the number of stars. This same God heals the broken hearts.
The world has full of broken hearts.
Even in laughters, the heart is heavy.
Jesus is come. Anointed to heal the broken hearts.
When Jesus cleansed the leper, the church is in divine paradox
When Jesus touched the leper, He did not contract defilement. He banished it.
Jesus the clean touched the unclean and the unclean became clean.
Law demands grace supplies.
Under grace, put shoe on the prodigal son’s feet.
Under grace, 3000 people were saved at Mount Zion.
Why Jesus is so strong against hypocrisy ?
When you are playing the part of hypocrites, it means play acting. Pretending to be when you are not.
Jesus gently exposed the woman by the well. He wanted her to feel loved.
Every time you prepare to be something you are not, you don’t feel loved.
You put your best foot forward especially during dating. When you get to know each other deeper and going into marriage, be real.
Go into fundamental fact, you will never feel love if the person is falling in love with an image.
Jesus did a divine sandwich. He spoke to the woman by the well –
You have said it beautifully.
You have 5 husbands and the one you are with is not your husband.
In that you have spoken truthfully.
Jesus needed to go to the woman by the well. He wanted to love her and save her.
Jesus knew all about her and still talking to her. She knows that He knows about her and still love her. She feels loved.
Jesus in His rebuke will remove all blockage. Jesus knows all about us and still loves us.
The love of God is the only thing that will cast out our fears and still love us!
7 pillars are the 7 dispensation
Jesus died on the feast day.
There are feast that hides truth
7 churches of the book of revelation.
When God looked on the earth, He sees Jews, Gentiles and the church (in the New Testament)
The confusion comes when we put ourselves in the wrong dispensation.
Dispensation of the law
Dispensation of the grace which lasted 2000 years.
When God gave Israel Mount Sinai
On the day of Pentecost until now
What is grace defined as?
Romans 11:6
And if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace. But if it is of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work.
Opposite of grace is works.
Not dead works, but living works, life works.
Proverbs 17:15
He who justifies the wicked, and he who condemns the just,
Both of them alike are an abomination to the Lord.
Abomination –
1. Justifies the wicked
2. Condemns the just
If you are a sinner and you justifies yourself like the Pharisees
I am a bad sinner, Jesus said i am a great Saviour.
Now that you are saved, the blood of Jesus has cleansed you.
Those who are well do not need a doctor.
2 Corinthians 5:21
For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
What God has cleansed, don’t you dare call unclean.
God sent Jesus to be our Saviour! If you are not a sinner, you are not qualified.
Lord if you are willing, make me clean.
Jesus did not need to touch the leper, but He exceed our expectation. He over exceed our request.
The Lord always answer exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think!
Ask God for big things we compliment Him
Noah cursed Canaan
Son of David can only be used by the Jews.
When Jesus came, His salvation was only for Israel. But there were gentiles who were saved.
The jews get saved by believing Jesus as the Messiah.
Matthew emphasised Jesus’ kingship
Luke portray Sonship
The son of David – David was God’s appointed king.
The woman came pretending she was a jews.
God cannot bless you on your pretence.
The Lord answered her not a word.
I am not sent but to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
If only Israel believes, all will he saved.
After the rapture, there will be 7 years of tribulations
Everyone can claim Jesus as Lord. She dropped the word Son of David.
The Jews called us dogs.
Gentiles are known as dogs.
It is not right to take the children’s bread and give to puppies.
Even the puppies eat the crumbs
She went back and found her daughter peaceful and the devil is out.
Jesus cannot bless her on a pretence nor send her away without blessing her.
Jesus died for the sinners.
All of us are great sinners. We all broke the 10
By the law is the knowledge of sin, not holiness.
Jesus knew man cannot love Him with all his heart all his soul and all his strength.
Now we love because He first loved us.
Take the anointing of God to proclaim the loveliness of Jesus.
If you are a sinner, come clean.
Now you are saved, you are the righteousness of God in Christ.
Today the way we pray is different from the Old Testament
Old Testament there is a spirit of bondage.
Up till now you have asked for nothing in My name. What is asking in someone’s name? It means you are His representative.
You are loved the same way you are loved.
It is knowing you can eat the children’s bread.
The moment you are saved, you are the righteousness of God in Christ
You need the Lord!
The devil will come to christian and asked how can you say you are righteous.
When we pray for the sick, it must be assurance. It is based on certainty.
God gives us solid ground to stand on. Nothing is more certain than the Word of God.
Hypocrisy is pretending to be what you are not.
Teach Christians to say thanks.
We know is our place. That is children’s place.
Pray in His name means pray in His standing. Knowing we are accepted.
The new bring out the old.
The old is the new hidden. The new is the old open.
There are many things i want to say to you, but you are not yet able.
His salvation is for the whole world.
Forgive because God has forgiven you.
He raised Paul. He unveiled to us the truth.
By the law is the knowledge of sin.
We forgive because God has forgiven us.
The reason for unforgiveness in the church is because the love and forgiveness of God is not preached to its fullness.
The moment you said Father, you know He hears our prayers
What Paul receive from the Lord?
Who got saved first? Peter or Paul? Peter.
After Jesus died and rose from the dead, the Lord appeared to Paul
What constitutes not walking according to the gospel?
Galatians 2:11-16
No Return to the Law
Now when Peter had come to Antioch, I withstood him to his face, because he was to be blamed; for before certain men came from James, he would eat with the Gentiles; but when they came, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing those who were of the circumcision. And the rest of the Jews also played the hypocrite with him, so that even Barnabas was carried away with their hypocrisy.
But when I saw that they were not straightforward about the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter before them all, “If you, being a Jew, live in the manner of Gentiles and not as the Jews, why do you compel Gentiles to live as Jews? We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles, knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law; for by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified.
Galatians 2:13
And the rest of the Jews also played the hypocrite with him, so that even Barnabas was carried away with their hypocrisy.
Food.
Galatians 2:14
But when I saw that they were not straightforward about the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter before them all, “If you, being a Jew, live in the manner of Gentiles and not as the Jews, why do you compel Gentiles to live as Jews?
There is not compromised even in food
Walked not uprightly
“But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?”
Galatians 2:14 KJV
No good thing will the Lord withhold from those who walk uprightly.
Once Jesus’ sacrifice work at the cross
Hebrews 10:11
And every priest stands ministering daily and offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins.
The priests are
– Standing
– Praying Daily
– Repeatedly
Hebrews 10:12
But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God,
Hebrews 10:1-4
Animal Sacrifices Insufficient
For the law, having a shadow of the good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with these same sacrifices, which they offer continually year by year, make those who approach perfect. For then would they not have ceased to be offered? For the worshipers, once purified, would have had no more consciousness of sins. But in those sacrifices there is a reminder of sins every year. For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and goats could take away sins.
No more consciousness of sins.
No more sins consciousness.
By walking in no more sin consciousness, we are giving tributes to what Jesus did.
By the law is the knowledge of sin.
Under grace to have sin consciousness is to say the payment is not been made.
Debt on your conscious caused the world to think that to talk about God means talk about their sins
We need clear message in the pulpit.
Is your debt already paid? Yes!
Jesus not only paid but overpaid all our sins!
If you know the value of Jesus Christ before the Father, it is the love of God paid the justice of God. Jesus came and paid to God, He is worth more than that! It is an overpayment!
What Jesus did was much more!
Pure gospel is preached.
Thank God for the bread of healing. The more you take from Him the more He is happy!
Love is the hand that gives, faith is the hand that takes.
He is saying I am so full, why do you take so little from Me?
It is abomination when you pretend to be a sinner. You are pretending what you are not.
Your position is greater than any prophets in the bible. You are a son. You are the very one Jesus came for.
