Heralding the Minister of the

Thoughts and Ways of God to Man

Pastor Ayorinde Fakunle

1. God the Father summoned us to this mountain for a significant encounter with Himself. We have been gathered here for a matter of utmost importance in His very own heart. This is the only thing that fills His heart. There is no space for any other thing in the mind of God; not angels, nor cherubims, nor seraphims - it is all about man (Ps. 8:4).

2. Gen. 1:26 – The primary thought of God is, ‘let Us make man in Our image’. What fills the mind of God is in making man in His own image. What makes sense to God does not make sense to man. Adam's journey is to be made in God's image and likeness. As time passed, this thought became farther and farther away from man.

3. It seems impossible to journey back to God when we see how far man has gone from God's thoughts for ages. The distance between heaven and earth is in thoughts and ways. When John 3:13 says, ‘No man has ascended to heaven,’ it means no man has graduated in acquiring.

4. Earth has witnessed Men! Men have walked with God! A man walked with God and was no more, he had so much intimacy with God. Noah stayed on a project for one hundred and twenty years; he stayed on to build the ark when there was no rain. He believed so much that he staked his life and that of his entire family and yet the Bible says no man has ascended up. Elijah went in a grand style and yet the Bible says no man has ascended up (2 Kings 2:11)

5. John 3:13 – Earth has seen men but has not seen men who will live and ascend. Jesus was a Man of one thing - not consumed by many things. He did miracles but was never consumed by them, He had a focus. He was in pursuit of the thoughts and ways of God in all His 33 years and for the first time, God found a man on Earth with the capacity to use His thoughts to live on Earth. The thoughts of God framed Him and He came to a place where He became the Way, the Truth and the Life.

6. Ps. 110:1 – The Son is sitting by the decree of the Father.  He will build His Church by speaking the thoughts and ways of the Father. Our building is by acquiring His thoughts and ways, this is how we are healed of unrighteousness and wickedness. We are gathered here to hear the Son; He has put something in Him and unless we hear, we can not live. Living is that we can host God's thoughts - God's ways.  

7. Ps. 23:1 – God is not a shepherd of goats, He is a shepherd of sheep. Sheeps do not have their own ways and thoughts, the shepherd governs and determines their ways and thoughts. Unbelief is a function of ways; what makes it impossible to receive the thoughts of the Son of God are the ways and thoughts we have received from where we are coming from. God wants to make man in His image. Satan cannot stop God from ministering nor stop His image from shining, but he can stop us from receiving that shining.

8. The entrance into His rest is by preaching. A people heard the Gospel at a time but when the time came to enter into His rest, their confession was not in alignment with what they heard and God summed it as ‘they could not enter because of their unbelief’ (Heb. 4:2). God has gathered us here to hear the Son for a matter of utmost importance in His heart. He has raised the Son, and commissioned Him to speak and to minister.

9. John 5:25 – There is a class of those who never heard the voice of the Son of God all of their lives; they heard many things - heard the voice of apostles but did not hear the Apostle of God. Jesus is the Prophet and Apostle of God. He is the One we have been called to hear. As we gather and the word is being ministered, we will hear the voice of the Son of God and will know when He has spoken. We will hear the Word of His mouth and lives will change. 

10. We are to hear and catch the speaking and gaze on the Son. We hear to gain sight to see what makes Jesus up (Heb. 8:1). The High Priest of the Majesty on High is now ministering in Kingdom Advance Summit. Imagine hearing the Majesty for seven days.

Interpretation of Tongues

“There is a Man, He is the Ark of all things God. There is a Man, He is the very Ark of all things God. There is a Man built up, raised by God. A Man with all of the divine thoughts, all of the divine ways. There is a Man that God is glad about, there is a Man that the Father is intoxicated about, there is a Man that the Father boasts of. There is a Man that the Father has highly exalted above all name, this Man is being sent.”

“He has been sent, He has been sent, that many arks may rise, that many men may rise, who are also called arks of God's thoughts, arks of God's ways in the days of their flesh. This Man is speaking, this Ark is walking, this Ark is seated, yet His thought is walking, His voice is walking in the midst of those who care to hear. He that hath an ear this season, let him hear what the Spirit is saying to the Churches, for the Lord is that Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.”

“Come and hear the Son of God, come hear the Son of God, come see the Son of God. It is the summon of heaven upon the earth, it is the herald of heaven upon the earth. There is a day upon you. The day is dawn! The day is dawn upon mankind when the thoughts of God; the high thoughts of God will become the thoughts of man. When the ways of God; the high ways of God will become the usual ways of man. Do not be afraid, do not say how will it be for the Son is ministering, the Son is ministering, the Son is walking, the Son is moving, the Son is saying, the Son is speaking, the Son is resting, He is speaking, He is the speaker of God”, saith the Holy Spirit.
