Bible Studies (for Multitudes) - Part B

WEEK 28: … on the 1st Day of February, 2015.

TOPIC: Suffering for Doing Good

There are two types of Suffering: Suffering for Doing Good or Suffering for Doing Bad. 1 Peter 2:20 says: “For what credit is it if, when you are beaten for your faults, you take it patiently? But when you do good and suffer, if you take it patiently, this is commendable before God”.

The CROSS that Jesus preached 2000+ years ago is the FINAL TEST for ALL His CREATURES in the HUMAN WORLD. The only people that understood this Gospel are His Children. No wonder Peter says: Resist the Devil, be steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world – 1 Peter 5:9 refers.

TEXT: 1 Peter 3:10-20.

MEMORY VERSE: 1 Peter 3:13-14, “And who is he who will harm you if you become followers of what is good? But even if you should suffer for righteousness’ sake, you are blessed. And do not be afraid of their threats, nor be troubled”.

Benefits of Suffering for Doing Good

The Crown of Glory awaits you – 1 Peter 5:4.
You will be exalted in due time – 1 Peter 5:6.
You will be glad with exceeding joy when His (God’s) glory is revealed – 1 Peter 4:13.
The Spirit of glory and of God rest in you – 1 Peter 4:14-19.
You will obtain Grace – 1 Peter 5:5.
Eternal life is your PORTION – 1 Peter 5:10.

Vocabularies:

brotherhood : group or association

exalted : raised to glory

WEEK 29: … on the 8th Day of February, 2015.

TOPIC: Obedience and Patience of Jesus Christ

Obedience and Patience are twin brothers, of which Obedience is the elder. In other words, where there is Obedience, Patience must naturally be there. Obedience produces Patience – if one is Obedient, he learns Patience. This can be found in the Character of Jesus Christ. He is always Obedient to the WILL of the FATHER.

TEXT: John 7:1-15.

MEMORY VERSE: John 7:6-7, “Then Jesus said to them, My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready. The World cannot hate you, but it hates Me because I testify of it that its works are evil”.

Let us look at some aspects of the Bible that talked about Obedience and Patience to God:

John 5:19-20; 8:28-29; 5:30-32), Philippians 2:5-9, (James 1:1-4 and 5:7-8).

The Rewards of Obedience and Patience

You don’t make mistakes.
You deliver your assignment in few Hours.
You must fulfill your Ministry.
God is PLEASED to call you His Son.
The Crown of Glory awaits you.
Eternal life is your HERITAGE.

Examples of People that fulfilled their Ministry in the Bible:

Joshua.
Abraham.
Noah.
David.
Prophets like: Isaiah, Jeremiah, Daniel and Ezekiel; Mary, John, James, etc.
JESUS (the SAVIOUR).

WEEK 30: … on the 15th Day of February, 2015.

TOPIC: The Incorruptible Judge

The Incorruptible Judge is God Almighty. He does not take bribe, discriminate, or take side while judging. His judgment is Just and True, and cannot be CENSURED. God has executed Judgement on Earth on different occasions, examples are: The time of Noah (He judged the whole Earth), the time of Abraham (He judged Sodom and Gomorrah), the time of Jeremiah and some of the Prophets (He judged Israel), etc. Before God judges the Earth, He always makes it known to somebody; God does not do anything secretly.

TEXT: Genesis 18:17-33.

MEMORY VERSE: Genesis 18:32 – “Then he said, let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak but once more: suppose ten should be found there? And he said, I will not destroy it for the sake of the ten”.

Let us look at some portions of the Bible that talked about the Judgement of God:

(Psalm 5:4-6; 7:11-16; 18:20-27; 22:7-11 and 37:1-9).

Finality of Creation and the Words of Jesus:

“And as it was in the Days of Noah … they ate, they drank, they married wives … until the Day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all. Likewise as it was also in the days of Lot … but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom, He rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all ….” Luke 17:26-30.

Vocabularies:

Words Meaning

incorruptible : cannot be bribed

censured : criticized or talked against

just : right

fret : panic or be afraid

WEEK 31: … on the 22nd Day of February, 2015.

TOPIC: The Sacrifice of Praise and Thanksgiving

Praise and Thanksgiving are POTENT tools that one can use to stir up the SPIRIT of God. “Whoever offers Praise glorifies God” - Psalm 50:23. As a matter of fact, Praises and Thanksgiving make God to do more for you; No wonder Immediately Moses crossed the Children of Israel through the RED SEA, the first thing he did was to render Songs of Praise to God.

TEXT: Exodus 15:1-12.

MEMORY VERSE: Exodus 15:11 – “Who is like You, O Lord, among the gods? Who is like You, glorious in Holiness, Fearful in Praises, doing wonders”?

Some Songs of Praise and Thanksgiving that Magnify/Glorify the Holy Name of God from our Memory Verse:

Who is like unto thee, O' Lord, who is like unto thee, O' Lord, amongst all the gods, who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders, alle - lu, alleluia.
Amongst all the gods, your difference is clear, amongst all the gods, you are the ONLY TRUE GOD.

Some portions of the Bible that can be applied as songs and references to this Sermon:

Psalm 100:1-4.
Psalm 139:14 – a song: I am wonderfully made, I am fearfully made, I resemble God, I belong to Him….
Deuteronomy 10:17 – a song: You are the Mighty God, the great I Am, alleluia, alleluia ….
Psalm 116:12-17 – a song: What shall I render to the Lord to make Him happy (x2) … a Joyful heart, a heart full of Praises, will he take.

Vocabularies:

Words Meaning

potent : powerful

glorify : exalt or increase in value.

WEEK 32: … on the 1st Day of March, 2015.

TOPIC: The Penalty of Rebellion

The Penalty of Rebellion means the result of working against God, or His Servants. For example: when God says “Do not make IMAGES”! Some who think they know more than God will say: We MUST make IMAGES, or when God ORDAINED a Person to carry out a Peculiar Mission, some within the group will rebel against him, by saying: we also hear from God. Is it only you that will tell us what to do? We are also Prophets! Examples are endless. This behaviour has consequences.

TEXT: Numbers 16:1-5 and 21-35.

MEMORY VERSE: Numbers 16:32 – “and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up, with their households and all the men with Korah, with all their goods”.

Penalties of Rebellion

Outright rejection – 1 Samuel 15:22-23.
Unnatural Death – Korah, Dathan, Abiram, and all the rebels, as contained in Numbers 16:32-35, as example.
Pestilence (uncommon): Numbers 12:1-11.
You become an enemy of God – 1 Peter 5:5-6, and you will be humbled.
Eternal Separation from God (Hell) – John 3:16-21.

Vocabularies:

Words Meaning

peculiar : unusual

penalty : punishment

pestilence : disease

ordained : anointed, empowered

renown : famous, mighty

outright : open, direct

consequences : results, effects

WEEK 33: … on the 8th Day of March, 2015.

TOPIC: Holy Rebellion

This is the Rebellion against FALSE gods, and those that worship them. This kind of Rebellion is very much permitted by God. When you engage in this kind of Rebellion, it shows that you are on God’s side, and you are WILLING to advance the cause of God for CREATION. Examples of Children of God that embarked on Holy Rebellion are: Daniel, Shadrack, Meshach, AbedNego, Gideon, Hezekiah, Joshua, Elijah, Josiah, Jeremiah, etc.

A notable example of a false god that continually embarrasses the True God throughout Creation is IMAGE.

TEXT: Judges 6:25-32.

MEMORY VERSE: Judges 6:31 – “But Joash said to all who stood against him, would you plead for Baal? Would you save him? Let the one who would plead for him be put to death by morning! If he is a god, let him plead for himself, because his altar has been torn down!”

Examples of Holy Rebellion in the Bible:

Daniel 3:16-18, Exodus 32:19-21, I kings 18:24-29, 2 kings 18:4, 2 Kings 23:13-18.

Benefits of Holy Rebellion

God takes over your battle.
You advance the CAUSE of God for creation.
You FULFIL PROPHECIES.
Your name will be in the Book of Mysteries.
You turn MULTITUDES to God.

WEEK 34: … on the 15th Day of March, 2015.

TOPIC: The Lord Whose Name is Jealous!

God in Exodus 34:14 gave Himself a Name: JEALOUS – “For you shall worship no other god, for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a Jealous God”. God does not entertain any other god besides Him. As a Child of God, you dare not mingle yourself with half-gods (demigods) except the Almighty and True God. Half-gods are so many, e.g. Images, mammon, antichrists, sun, moon, stars, etc, but let us concentrate on IMAGES.

TEXT: Exodus 34:11-17.

MEMORY VERSE: Exodus 34:17 – “You shall make no molded gods for yourselves”.

Let us search the Bible from Exodus to Deuteronomy, to capture some verses in which God Instructed the Children of Israel to shun IMAGES:

Exodus 20:4 – “You shall not make for yourselves a carved image ….”
Exodus 20:23 – “You shall not make anything to be with Me – gods of silver or gods of gold you shall not make for yourselves”.
Leviticus 26:1.
Deuteronomy 4:15-19, “take careful heed to yourselves, for you saw no FORM when the Lord spoke to you at HOREB out of the midst of fire, lest you act corruptly and make for yourselves a Carved Image in the form of any figure: the likeness of male or female ….”
Deuteronomy 5:8-9.
Deuteronomy 27:11-15. “… cursed is the one who makes a carved or molded image, an abomination to the Lord, the work of the hands of the craftsman, and sets it up in secret. And all the people shall answer and say, Amen”.

WEEK 35: … on the 22nd Day of March, 2015.

TOPIC: The Penalty of Cursing God

Common sense should enable any human being to know that there is a BEING behind Nature. Common sense should also tell us that the sun, the moon, the stars, wind, ocean, sand, fire, humans, etc, derived their origin from a SOURCE. Instead of man to ponder on the wonders of Nature, he extends to questioning the RATIONAL behind Nature and even to CURSE GOD (the AUTHOR of Nature). The Bible made it abundantly clear in the OLD and NEW TESTAMENTS that the destination of any human who curses God is HELL (Eternal Separation). In the Old Testament, God said, such a PERSON should be STONED to DEATH.

TEXT: Leviticus 24:10-16.

MEMORY VERSE: Leviticus 24:16 – “And whoever blasphemes the name of the LORD shall surely be put to death. All the Congregation shall certainly stone him, the stranger as well as him who is born in the land. When he blasphemes the name of the LORD, he shall be put to death”.

Let us look at some references in the New Testament that forbid us to even blaspheme, not to talk of cursing God:

Mark 3:28-29, Luke 12:10 and Matthew 12:31.

Vocabularies:

Words Meaning

rational : logic or reason

author : source, inventor

abundantly : sufficiently

destination : place where something is going

WEEK 36: … on the 29th Day of March, 2015.

TOPIC: The Task of Good Parents

Your Parent can either be your Father, Mother or Guardian, but in this teaching let us narrow ourselves to Father or Mother. The Bible admonished Parents to teach their children/wards the WORD of GOD. The Bible further added in Deuteronomy 11:18: “Therefore you shall lay up these words of mine in your heart and in your soul, and bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes”.

TEXT: Deuteronomy 6:1-9.

MEMORY VERSE: Deuteronomy 6:6-7, “And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up”.

Let us search the Scriptures, to see other portions that support our studies:

Deuteronomy 8:5-6, Deuteronomy 11:19-21, Ephesians 6:1-3 and Hebrews 12:7-9.

The Rewards of Children Obeying their Parents

Long life shall be the portion of such a child – Exodus 20:12, and at the end, Eternal life.
You live a Godly life – No mistakes.
You excel in your calling in life.
Your Parents are pleased to call you their Child.
Our Eternal Father (God Almighty) is Proud to also call you His Child.

Vocabularies:

Words Meaning

frontlets : decorative ornaments worn on forehead

excel : to be victorious

wards : people under the care of a guardian

diligently : carefully

guardian : protector

WEEK 37: … on the 5th Day of April, 2015.

TOPIC: The Holy Spirit “The Greatest Teacher”

The Holy Spirit, called the Spirit of Truth, is the greatest Instructor that one can rely on. His (Holy Spirit) students are always happy after attending His classes/tutorials. The Holy Spirit is God Almighty, with Infinite Intelligence and Unsearchable Understanding. He reveals secret things to His students. It is the knowledge that He reveals to His student that turns such from NOBODY to CELEBRITY. The Holy Spirit, because He is God Almighty, takes time to select/choose his students. These students are the anointed ones, who kept the commandments of God. He knows them since the foundation of the world. His students are the ones who are authorized to interpret the Mysteries of God contained in the Bible, because the author of the Bible is the Spirit of Truth (Holy Spirit). His tutelage cannot be CENSURED.

TEXT: John 14:15-26.

MEMORY VERSE: John 14:26 - “But the HELPER, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you”.

Attributes of the Greatest Teacher

He is Our Father (without Him, our Home is incomplete) – John 14:23.
He reminds us of things that are past and tells us things to come – John 16:13.
He convicts us of sin – John 16:8.
He dwells in His Children – 1 Corinthians 6:18-20.
He is OUR HELPER – John 14:16.
He is OUR Final Teacher – John 14:26.

Vocabularies:

Words Meaning

tutorials : periods of teaching

tutelage : teaching or counsel

celebrity : popular person

convicts : declares guilty

instructor : teacher

WEEK 38: … on the 12th Day of April, 2015.

TOPIC: Knowing the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit

Before the foundation of the earth was laid, God had already known the trend and the end of Creation. He started creation from a WORLD called, the SPIRIT WORLD. It is a WORLD of experiments and reality. That WORLD is allegorical but REAL. What does this mean? He already knows the minds of ALL LIVING CREATURES before HE started creation of the earth realm. He patterned earth after the Heavens (Spirit World). However, the events of the earth realm is the reality of Creation, because, the sun, the moon, the stars, and the entire hosts of Heavens, are not like God; only humans are created like God, Genesis 1:26-28 refers. It therefore means that God used the Spirit World experience to prosecute his activities in the EARTH REALM. This is why the Bible keeps saying: that some people’s names are not written in the Book of Life since the Foundation of the World.

In His (God’s) experiments in the Spirit World, He discovered that those who knew the Father also know the Son, and by extension, these persons must also know the Holy Spirit. However, the Holy Spirit era is called: the Dispensation of Confirmation of spirits (persons). All persons living in the HUMAN WORLD (EARTH), both living and the dead, will be confirmed by the Father of spirits (God). May I inform you that this had been done; we are now waiting for the Physical Manifestation.

TEXT: Matthew 25:31-34.

MEMORY VERSE: Matthew 25:34 – “… Come you blessed of My Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the Foundation of the world”.

Scripture verses that support our studies:

Vocabularies:

Words Meaning

allegorical : imaginary

realm : area of activity

WEEK 39: … on the 19th Day of April, 2015.

TOPIC: The Great Separation!

The Great Separation is the Final Agenda of God for Creation. At this time, which is now is, God will separate all living beings in the earth realm as it is in the Heavens above. This ACT is called: the Great Separation! and the ETERNAL CONCLUSION OF GOD. The separation is as follows:

Sons of God: They are 144,000 in number. These are the Martyrs of God, who understood the Gospel of Jesus right from the beginning of knowledge. God knows this people right from the Foundation of the World. The home of these SAINTS is the HEAVENLY JERUSALEM (ZION).

Sons of Satan: These are the rebels – Antichrists, killers, thieves, fraudsters, harlots, sorcerers, etc, who refused to REPENT. These people are uncountable, and they know themselves. The portion of these people is a REGION called TOTAL DARKNESS.

Great Multitudes: These are the people who were convinced by Satan, and his cohorts to join them in the REBELLION/KILLING of Jesus about 2000+ years ago. These people are numerous, and they follow God because of FOOD and MONEY. These people are CONSTANT in NATURE. They will pass through the great tribulation and will remain CONSTANT to experience DAY and NIGHT as it has been right from the VERY BEGINNING.

TEXT: Revelation 7:1-4, 9-17.

MEMORY VERSE: Revelation 7:14 - … “these are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the lamb”.

Scripture verses that support our Studies:

1 Samuel 2:9, 2 Peter 2:15-17, Jude 1:11-13, Job 38:19-21 and Revelation 22:10-15.

Vocabularies:

Words Meaning

autumn : season between summer and winter

constant : unchanging

WEEK 40: … on the 26th Day of April, 2015.

TOPIC: The Truth about the Bible

Every Religion has a Manual; that Manual is called the Spiritual Book of that Religion. Since we are Christians, let us restrict ourselves to the Spiritual Book of the Christian Religion: The BIBLE.

The Bible is called: The ONLY HOLY BOOK OF CREATION. All the Characters of Creation are well represented in the Bible: God, Satan, sons of God, sons of Satan and the Great Multitude; all of these, made up the Bible.

The big question is this: What is the Truth about the Bible? The answer is simple: The Truth about the Bible is the Kingdom of God (Heaven), and the means by which we can EMBRACE it (The kingdom). How then can one embrace the kingdom? It is through PHYSICAL POVERTY AND SPIRITUAL WEALTH – sowing TREASURES in the kingdom. No wonder the Bible says: “where a Man’s Treasure is, that is where his heart will be also – Luke 12:34 refers.

TEXT: Luke 6:20-26.

MEMORY VERSE: Luke 6:20 – “… Blessed are you poor, for yours is the Kingdom of God”.

Let us carefully study these Scripture verses:

Luke 12:15-21, Luke 18:18-25, Matthew 6:19-21, Matthew 6:31-34 and Matthew 6:24-26.

Vocabularies:

Words Meaning

manual : a book giving instructions

treasures : valuable or expensive properties

poverty : a state of being poor

restrict : limit or narrow down

characters : persons in a novel, play, book, film, etc.

WEEK 41: … on the 3rd Day of May, 2015.

TOPIC: The Triumph of the Saints

A triumph is a great victory, and the joy resulting from such victory. The triumph of the saints therefore: is the day that the saints will triumphantly enter into Jerusalem above, and dwell there eternally. When this shall happen, the promise of Jesus that His Saints shall enjoy eternal life will become activated. The song of the saints on that day shall be: we are soldiers, soldiers of the cross, in the name of Jesus, WE HAVE CONQUERED. On that day, there shall be tears of joy, because the road the saints passed through to actualize this great dream is too narrow and too dangerous.

In the year 2007, towards the middle of the year to be precise, God gave the family of Mr. and Mrs. Titus Eremeguono Ededjo, a Psalm, through the mother of the house, in a Dream. God in that dream however SEALED the means by which this revelation will be accomplished. That passage of the Bible is Psalm 1:3, and the PRICE for the accomplishment of the revelation has been paid for in FULL. The physical realization of Psalm 1:3 is Jerusalem above - the home of the SAINTS.

TEXT: Revelation 21:23-27; 22:1-7.

MEMORY VERSE: Revelation 22:5 – “There shall be no night there; they need no lamp nor light of the sun, for the Lord God gives them light. And they shall reign forever and ever.

accomplishment : succeed in doing

WEEK 42: … on the 10th Day of May, 2015.

TOPIC: The Ministry of the Saints

A Saint can be a PROPHET, a SCRIBE, or a WISE man, in any area of calling/endeavour. All Saints either died or suffered unjustly for their good WORKS. Saints are usually proven good Children of God who are hated by the “WORLD”. The “WORLD” sees nothing good in them, because their (children of the “WORLD”) way is CONTINUOUS EVIL (Persistent Iniquity). The “WORLD” persecutes the saints, calls them different names, and ENVIES them to the point of Death. The hope of the Saints is their reliance on the Word of God. The Word of God is their backbone, and their deliverance is the BLOOD of JESUS. No wonder Revelation 12:11 says: “And they overcame him by the Blood of the LAMB and by the word of their testimony ….”

TEXT: 1 king 22:3-9, 15-28, 35.

MEMORY VERSE: 1 king 22:8 – “… There is still one man, Micaiah the son of Imlah, by whom we may inquire of the Lord; but I hate him, because he does not prophesy good concerning me, but evil ….”

Scriptural backing: Matthew 10:22-23, Matthew 10:24-26, John 17:14-16, John 15:18-21 and Matthew 23:34-36.

Vocabularies:

Words Meaning

backbone : main strength

testimony : declare public

calling : summon to do

scribe : a person who copies out documents or writes for God.

WEEK 43: … on the 17th Day of May, 2015.

TOPIC: The Attitude of the Saints

If a Saint stands alone to administer the affairs of this WORLD, what will be his attitude? The number one (1) attitude is the FEAR OF GOD. How will God view my actions even if I stand alone in the Secret? Will God be happy with this DECISION? Lots of questions will go on in his (the Saint’s) mind; all pointing to how God views his actions, or inactions. All his attitudes are religiously guided with a LOYAL HEART towards God.

In every kingdom, there must be a LEADER. The leader of the SAINTS’ kingdom is GOD ALMIGHTY. A KING is not a POLITICAL leader that is elected by majority vote. Our King is the KING of kings. He is MONARCH. His name is MELCHIZEDEK – The King of SALEM, the king of Righteousness, and the King of PEACE. Jesus Christ, the Son of God, belongs to this ANCESTRY.

This ancestry has no genealogy; no beginning and no end. There are just two players in this team – Hebrews 7:1-3 refers. These players are God and Son, or Father and Son. The head of our kingdom is called, the Father of Creation. He is Just, Truthful, Righteous, Good, Holy, etc. The Saints’ attitude is to continuously please this KING since we shall also become kings and priests in God’s kingdom – Revelation 1:5-6 refers.

TEXT: 2 Chronicles 16:1-10.

MEMORY VERSE: 2 Chronicles 16:9 – “For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him….”

Words Meaning

monarch : a king

ancestry : person’s ancestor

WEEK 44: … on the 24th Day of May, 2015.

TOPIC: The Home of the Saints

The Home of the Saints is Jerusalem above, called Zion. In this place, the Lord is there – Ezekiel 48:35. The number of people that made this home and family are 144,000. Abraham is the father of these Saints. These Children of God and Abraham are called the Firstfruits. Jesus is their Husband; while they are the BRIDE OF CHRIST. In the Saints’ home, all of them have ONE HEART, ONE MIND AND ONE PURPOSE. Their general purpose is to advance the kingdom God has bestowed on them. In this family and Home, there is NO ENVY. Everybody is ONE, and all will equally enjoy the DIVIDEND of the Kingdom of God.

After the Firstfruits, come another fruits, called the LATER-FRUITS. These are the Children of God and Abraham who couldn’t make the Firstfruits. The number of these fruits will be many.

They will afterward join the Firstfruits in Heaven to also enjoy the FULL DIVIDEND of the Kingdom of God (Heaven). Remember, that these are not the great multitudes.

Summarily, the Home of the Saints is: Splendid, Cute, abundantly Rich, Magnificent, joy Eldorado and Refreshing. WHO CAN MISS IT?

TEXT: Revelation 14:1-5.

MEMORY VERSE: Revelation 14:4 – “… These are the ones who follow the lamb wherever He goes. These were redeemed from among men, being Firstfruits to God and to the Lamb”.

WEEK 45: … on the 31st Day of May, 2015.

TOPIC: The Saints’ Behaviour in the New World

The New World is the New Heaven and the New Earth that John the Beloved and all the Servants of God spoke about. The New Heaven is the New Jerusalem; and the New Earth, is the New System of things that are devoid of Satan’s Authority. In the New Heaven and the New Earth, ALL THINGS shall become Brand New. The sheep and the goats will no longer dwell together.

Let us now concern ourselves with the New Heaven, since we are Heavenly Candidates. In the New Heaven, Jesus Christ is the STANDARD SAMPLE. All the Saints will strive to be like Jesus – the PERFECT MAN. He (the Perfect Man) is the KING of kings, God-Son, God Almighty – The Holy Spirit dwells in Him in accordance with the Word of God which says: God is Spirit – John 4:24, and He dwells in the Son – John 14:10. Jesus Christ is the ONLY PERSON that knows the Father, and in reverse, God is the only person that knows the Son – Matthew 11:27 refers. Jesus Christ, in the New Jerusalem, will reveal the Father fully to the Saints; by so doing, all the SAINTS’ behaviour in Zion is to pursue perfection in order for them to strive to become like Jesus – the Perfect Man. In the New Heaven, once the Saints see Jesus, they have seen God.

TEXT: Matthew 11:21-29.

devoid : empty

strive : make great efforts

WEEK 46: … on the 7th Day of June, 2015.

TOPIC: The Authority of the Saints in the New World

The Bible refers to the Saints as: aliens, sojourners, spiritual soldiers, heavenly ambassadors, etc, who are in a foreign land called this “World”. They (the Saints) were TESTED like every other person in this “World”, and they were found worthy; therefore, they shall inherit a brand New City (Jerusalem above) in the coming New World as promised by Jesus Christ (God Almighty). When the Saints get to this City their authority shall be that of the glorified Jesus – the Holy Spirit. The glorified Jesus, called the Holy Spirit, dwells in them. He (the Holy Spirit) shall pilot the affairs of the New World through His sons (the Saints). They (the Saints) are kings and priests. The only power they have is the ALTAR of CALVARY. If they are asked, “by what AUTHORITY shall you govern the New World”? They will say: By the authority of the glorified Jesus, the Holy Spirit, who lives in us and abides with us FOREVER – John 14:16-17 refers.

Text: John 17:16-26.

Memory Verse: John 17:22 – “and the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one”.

WEEK 47: … on the 14th Day of June, 2015.

TOPIC: The Joy of the Saints in the New World

Let us begin by using Psalm 66:10-12 to summarize the agonies of the Saints in this “World” that God passed everybody through to be TESTED: “For You, O God, have tested us; You have refined us as silver is refined, You brought us into the net; You laid affliction on our backs, You have caused men to ride over our heads; We went through fire and through water; But You brought us out to RICH FULFILLMENT”.

In the New Jerusalem, the Saints shall do everything that the peoples of this “World” do, but the difference is this: Everything shall be done with the FEAR OF GOD. They (the saints) shall do all GAMES – Athletics, Soccer (Football), Basketball, Table Tennis, etc; all the Holy Festivals of God shall be CELEBRATED, they shall WORSHIP GOD on the Sabbath, they shall go to school: from Elementary to University, they shall organize seminars upon seminars, all to the glory of God; there shall also be Holy Programmes to the Lord, the list is endless. The pattern of the Former World is ordained by God as a similitude of what shall happen in the Brand New Kingdom of God.

WEEK 48: … on the 21st Day of June, 2015.

TOPIC: The Man of God

The Man of God is a person that God ordained to WALK with Him, and to WORK for Him. The ordination is not man-made, it comes directly from God. The person is TRAINED directly by the Spirit of God since we are now in the Holy Spirit era. A Man of God can come from any sphere of life, he can be a farmer, road-side mechanic, trader, jobless man, etc; what God does with this person is to pass him through a school, called: The School of the Holy Spirit. In this schooling, he (the Man of God) learns everyday as he prosecutes the Work/Ministry God has given to him. Once a Man of God is baptized by the Holy Spirit to walk with God, he (the Man of God) becomes God’s Instrument; he no longer pursues his agenda. The PROGRAMME of God becomes his PROGRAMME; the WILL of God becomes his WILL, etc.

The rate at which the Man of God fulfills or abandons his Ministry depends on his level of OBEDIENCE to God. The Man of God can even die during the course of his Ministry if he rebels against God. Summarily, a True-Man of God is known only by the Spirit of God; All True-Man of God will soon be revealed, and known by this GENERATION.

WEEK 49: … on the 28th Day of June, 2015.

TOPIC: The Attributes of a True-Man of God

He pursues Total Righteousness, because he is a Servant of the King of Righteousness – Hebrews 7:1-2.
He ensures Total Obedience to the WILL of the Father (Jesus Christ) – Matthew 26:39, 42.
He is a Man of Total Faith. If God says, He will do it; He must surely do it – read Matthew 17:20.
He is a Man of ONE WORD: His “Yes” is “Yes” and His “No” is “No” – Matthew 5:37.
He is physically poor but Spiritually Rich – Luke 6:20-21. He knows that a “Disciple is not greater than his Master” as Jesus taught him. If his Saviour suffered and died for the Gospel, he must also suffer the same fate – Matthew 10:22-25.
He is a Man of ONE Family: One Man, One Wife, and he should be able to RULE over his family. He conforms to the pattern of God from the very beginning – Matthew 19:4-6. However, some made themselves eunuch for the sake of the Kingdom of God, but this is NEVER the pattern of God, it is their (?) own invention. Nevertheless, some who made themselves eunuchs truly fulfilled their vow, so, they made the Kingdom.
He is wise, knowledgeable and humble: He searches the Wisdom of God, studies voraciously, and he imitates the humility of Jesus – his Saviour.
The last but the greatest attribute is the Fear of God. This is the connecting rod of all the attributes of a True-Man of God. This attribute is the backbone, with which, the True-Man of God joins all the attributes together.

WEEK 50: … on the 5th Day of July, 2015.

TOPIC: Case Studies of Moses and Joshua: as True-Man of God

Moses is the first Prophet that wrote the first 5 Books of the Bible; however, the FIRST True-Prophet in the Bible is Abraham – Genesis 20:7 refers.

Moses is a True-Man of God, who walked with God and partially fulfilled his Ministry. His job description was to take the Children of Israel from the House of Bondage (Egypt) to the Promised Land (Canaan), but he didn’t FULLY delivered his Mission because of the SIN at MERIBAH. He Disobeyed the COMMAND of God. He committed this sin when he was already MATURED in Ministry. He had administered 10 plagues on Egypt, he had crossed the Children of Israel through the Red Sea; God had also done many other miracles through him before the FALL at the Water of Meribah. The SIN of Moses at Meribah, is a KILLABLE offence. Joshua, the assistant of Moses, took over from him and he (Joshua) fully delivered his Ministry; though, not without errors. A notable one is the Alliance of Israel with the Gibeonites – Joshua 9:14-15 refers. This error is however, pardonable. It is recorded in the Bible that during and after the life of Joshua, Israel (the generation of Joshua) served God faithfully.

Memory Verse: Joshua 24:23 – Joshua said, “put away the foreign gods which are among you, and incline your heart to the Lord God of Israel”.

WEEK 51: … on the 12th Day of July, 2015.

TOPIC: Case Studies of Balaam and Simon the Sorcerer: as Pseudo-Man of God

A Pseudo-Man of God is a Fake-Man of God, simply put. Balaam and Simon are good examples. Balaam loved the wages of unrighteousness – 2 Peter 2:15 refers, while Simon the Magician thought he could buy the gift of the Holy Spirit with money. There are many Balaams and Simons in this generation of Titus Eremeguono Ededjo.

Characteristics of Balaams and Simons

They are Magicians – they use the ORACLE of Satan for their Sorcery/Ministry.
Their ancestry is the lineage of Cain. They reincarnate in this lineage from Time to Time to be TESTED, but they remain constant.
Their god is mammon. Their Ministry is characterized with Plenty of Money. Their Doctrine is PROSPERITY.
Their followers is the “WORLD”, they use their powers in the Spirit World to manipulate their gullible followers: the “WORLD”.
They have SECRET ALTARS in their Headquarters. There is nothing hidden that will not be revealed!
They reject the Kingdom of God, in which, the SHEEP and the GOATS will no longer dwell together and they build their own counterfeit Empire (Kingdom).

Text: Acts 8:9-23.

Memory Verse: Acts 8:20 – “But Peter said to him, your money perish with you, because you thought that the gift of God could be purchased with money!”

WEEK 52: … on the 19th Day of July, 2015.

TOPIC: Who is God?

“God is Spirit” – John 4:24, and He is Invisible. The Invisible God cannot be seen, because He is completely invisible – that is how He wants it! However, He has manifested Himself severally to person(s) and also to humanity in different FORMS. God has three Basic Forms: The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit Forms. As the Father, He is Invisible; as the Son, He is Visible, and as the Holy Spirit, He is Invisible. Let us look carefully at the Son’s (the Visible) Form:

God became Visible about 2000+ years ago when He (God) prosecuted creation physically on EARTH as the Son. His ACT in the Son’s Dispensation is called SECRET TRUTH. He did this as an example when He (God) came to EARTH physically with the Son’s Spirit as Jesus – the Visible God. He did this example in order for Him to go back to His Invisible Form – the Holy Spirit. This Dispensation was done in conformation to His pattern in the Spirit World, so that, at the Finality of Creation (the Holy Spirit era) the PERSON that TOTALLY understood the Doctrine of the Son’s Dispensation shall become the only begotten Son of God. In this arrangement, all His (God’s) Prophecies concerning the Son’s Dispensation will become FULFILLED at the Holy Spirit era. At this time, the Invisible God will dwell in the Visible Son PERMANENTLY.

Text: John 14:1-12.

Memory Verse: John 14:7 – “If you had known Me (Jesus), you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him (the Father) and have seen Him”.

manifested : made known

conformation : agreement

WEEK 53: My Lecture Note – On the 26th Day of July, 2015

Relationships

Opuscent Relationship: This is a PLURAL but ONE relationship. In this relationship, there are two players, yet ONE! These players are Father cum Son, or more explicitly, GOD-SON. What does this mean? The Father who is a Spirit dwelling in a VISIBLE Tent or Temple. This Temple is the Tent of the Original Son of Adam. He (the Son) died, and his Spirit was expelled as BREATH at a TIME when the FATHER was prepared to come to earth the Second Time. When this ACT happened, Heaven and Earth became equated and a Brand New Mystery was born in the Habitation of Man (Earth). This Mystery is ETERNAL, and the “World” will labour endlessly in order to understand and to reconcile this EQUATION.

Family Relationship: There are just two Families in the Arithmetic of God: The Family of God and the Family of Satan. In the Family of God, HE is a SPIRIT, and Abraham is a Human Being; the Bloodline of Abraham is the Family of God. This Family is made up of the Firstfruits, which are 144,000 in number, and the Later-Fruits, which are many. In the Family of Satan on the other hand, Satan is also a Spirit, and he dwells in his greatest son – Cain. The Children of this lineage are called: The Brood of Vipers. These are the CRIMINALS – Antichrists, thieves, harlots, fraudsters, idolaters, sorcerers, homosexuals, etc, who REFUSED to REPENT. Another set of people in this lineage are the RENOWN men and women of NOW: Presidents, Kings, Queens, Religious Leaders, etc, who gave Presidential/Royal/Religious NOD to same-sex marriage – All these, with Satan and his cohorts, will be HURLED to Hell – a region called Total Darkness.

Null Relationship: This is the zero (0) relationship. In this relationship, neither God nor Satan is the Father of the Children of this group. Their Father is the Image of Adam – the Disobedient and the Dying Man. These people are constant in nature; +50% good and –50% bad. Their offence is this: they want Satan to rule over them, but of a Truth, they don’t know what they have been doing! God in His Infinite Mercy shall rule Eternally over these people. Congratulations! Great Multitudes.
