Preached by Pastor Prince
God’s favour mercy and shalom wholeness to everyone of you.
The way pastors show love is feed My lamb feed My sheep
The way God interpret love for Him is feed His sheep.
Life via death series
The moment we receive Jesus Christ, we have that life!
When we allow the life of Jesus to flow abundantly in us, the flow of spirit flows
1 John 5:16
If you see any brother or sister commit a sin that does not lead to death, you should pray and God will give them life. I refer to those whose sin does not lead to death. There is a sin that leads to death. I am not saying that you should pray about that.
When Jesus comes again, there will be a generation who are alive and remain.
Remain alive – keep sickness and disease at bay.
We are this generation talked about in the Old Testament prophesy
God wants us to be alive and remain until the coming of the Lord
Look up to the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. Be transformed into His glorified body.
All the wisdom of man come to an end.
God did not send virus.
The breath we take everyday is from God. God holds the breath in His hands.
God can give you life and life more abundantly.
Paul preached on the rapture yet he did not experience it.
We preach by revelation not by experience.
Psalms 90:9
For all our days have passed away in Your wrath;
We finish our years like a sigh.
Psalms 90:10
The days of our lives are seventy years;
And if by reason of strength they are eighty years,
Yet their boast is only labor and sorrow;
For it is soon cut off, and we fly away.
The context was under God’s wrath.
2 Corinthians 3:6-9
who also made us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
Glory of the New Covenant
But if the ministry of death, written and engraved on stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of the glory of his countenance, which glory was passing away, how will the ministry of the Spirit not be more glorious? For if the ministry of condemnation had glory, the ministry of righteousness exceeds much more in glory.
The letter kills. The spirit gives life!
Acts 2:11
Cretans and Arabs—we hear them speaking in our own tongues the wonderful works of God.”
Emphasis on grace is God’s focus.
Acts 10:46
For they heard them speak with tongues and magnify God.
Then Peter answered,
The more you speak in tongues the more you build your spiritman
Edify himself, spirit soul and body!
Psalms 91:16
With long life I will satisfy him,
And show him My salvation.”
Jesus came and fulfil the law. Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes
2 Corinthians 3:6-9
who also made us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
Glory of the New Covenant
But if the ministry of death, written and engraved on stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of the glory of his countenance, which glory was passing away, how will the ministry of the Spirit not be more glorious? For if the ministry of condemnation had glory, the ministry of righteousness exceeds much more in glory.
Romans 5:13
(For until the law sin was in the world, but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
Condemnation kills. It cut short your life.
Psalms 90:11
Who knows the power of Your anger?
For as the fear of You, so is Your wrath.
2000 years ago, God put our sins on Jesus Christ. God cannot punish us for the same sin He punished on Jesus on the cross. God cannot punish the same sin twice. God’s holiness is now on our side.
It is possible to be born again but with the old covenant mindset.
David is a old covenant man but with new covenant mentality.
However a lot of christians today have old covenant mentality
It is God’s goodness that leads people to repentance today.
Psalms 91:16
With long life I will satisfy him,
And show him My salvation.”
Psalms 91:1
Safety of Abiding in the Presence of God
He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High
Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
The secret place of the Most High is Christ Himself.
In Christ.
We are now seated with Christ.
All the promises are ours.
Faith is released when we declare it.
Faith is not faith until we speak it.
Speak that life.
With long life, i will say of the Lord, God will satisfy me!
Genesis 6:3
And the LORD said, “My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, for he is indeed flesh; yet his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.”
John 5:24
Life and Judgment Are Through the Son
“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.
Faith comes by hearing and hearing the Word of God
May the Lord bless you with 120 years and even more if you choose.
2 Peter 3:3-4
knowing this first: that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts, and saying, “Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation.”
The great catching away of the church – Seizing away
2 Peter 3:8
But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
God lives outside time and space.
God is creator of time. God is outside time.
He always said I AM. I AM the resurrection and the life. I AM the door.
He lives in eternal presence
John 11:21
Now Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died.
2 Peter 3:8-9
But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.
He is not willing that any should perish but all should come to repentance
Hosea 6:2
After two days He will revive us;
On the third day He will raise us up,
That we may live in His sight.
The gospel of John is a book of science
John 2:1
Water Turned to Wine
On the third day there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there.
We are now on the 3rd day. There will be a marriage feast. We will be heaven. Jesus married to His bride. The church of Jesus Christ.
John 4:26
Then Jesus declared, “I, the one speaking to you—I am he.”
John 4:42-43
Then they said to the woman, “Now we believe, not because of what you said, for we ourselves have heard Him and we know that this is indeed the Christ, the Savior of the world.”
Welcome at Galilee
Now after the two days He departed from there and went to Galilee.
During the 2 days Jesus was among the Gentiles.
The main evangelistic work
More and more are being brought in
Jesus spent time 2 days with Gentiles
After 2 days, Jesus focus on Israel again. Reaching out to Jewish people.
John 1:12
But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name:
John 11:5-6
Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. So, when He heard that he was sick, He stayed two more days in the place where He was.
Jesus loves Martha and stayed 2 more days. Something beyond the natural God wants us to see. This family represent the church world.
Believers are loved in a special way. Is greater than the love He has for the world.
He wants to show us the glory of God
John 11:23-26
Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.”
Martha said to Him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?”
The rapture generation will not die
2 Corinthians 3:7
Glory of the New Covenant
But if the ministry of death, written and engraved on stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of the glory of his countenance, which glory was passing away,
Stone – Lithos
John 11:38
Lazarus Raised from the Dead
Then Jesus, again groaning in Himself, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone lay against it.
Take away the stone.
John 11:39-40
Jesus said, “Take away the stone.”
Martha, the sister of him who was dead, said to Him, “Lord, by this time there is a stench, for he has been dead four days.”
Jesus said to her, “Did I not say to you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?”
As long as the stone is not rolled away from the church, they cannot see the glory of the Lord.
John 11:39-40
Jesus said, “Take away the stone.”
Martha, the sister of him who was dead, said to Him, “Lord, by this time there is a stench, for he has been dead four days.”
Jesus said to her, “Did I not say to you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?”
As long as you are putting stone with grace, you will lose both.
Before you see the glory of God in your life, you got to roll away the stone.
Romans 5:17
For if by the one man’s offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.)
Before we see the dead come to life, no more in decay, we got to roll away the stone.
John 11:44
And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.
Removing all the signs of death
The only thing hindering from life are the grey clothes
The book of John is the book of science and is pointing us to the Lord Jesus Christ and show us God’s plan and future.
Eliezer – Helper
John 14:16
And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever—
The Holy Spirit is a Helper
Helper in the Upper room.
Life cannot come forth where there is a stone.
Roll away the stone from My people’s lives.
Mark 16:2-4
Very early in the morning, on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb when the sun had risen. And they said among themselves, “Who will roll away the stone (lithos) from the door of the tomb for us?” But when they looked up, they saw that the stone had been rolled away—for it was very large.
Matthew 4:3
Now when the tempter came to Him, he said, “If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.”
He is saying find your satisfaction in the law.
Matthew 4:4
But He answered and said, “It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’ ”
Matthew 3:16
When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him.
You are My beloved Son, in You i am well pleased
Matthew 3:17 – 4:1
And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.
The devil took away the word “beloved”
The devil has no defence for people who actively know they are His beloveds.
Those who are loved best love best.
I am God’s beloved son. You are My beloved son and daughter, in you I am well-pleased.
You cannot find satisfaction in the law.
We don’t live by the law. We live by His love for us.
We live by every Word of God. We find life in His word!
We are His beloved son. We are His beloved daughter.
It takes a beloved (David) to knock down the giants (Goliath) in your life!
Are you practising the fact you are loved by God?
Are conscious God’s demand on you that is not fulfilled? This will produce sin in your life. The strength of sin is the law.
The more you are conscious you are God’s beloved, you will produce life!
