The Making of Servants of God by the Spirit of the Message - Part 2

Pastor Tosin Gabriel

Exhortation

We need to enter the next level of intimacy with Jesus. We cannot overcome the dragon if we are not lovers. We must love something before we will arrive at the point of not loving our lives (Rev. 12:11). We have come to the time when the love of many will wax cold, but we are being made lovers; hence, we have to cultivate in us the love of God that will not fail.

Song of Solomon 8:6-7

“Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave: the coals thereof are coals of fire, which hath a most vehement flame. Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it: if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would utterly be contemned.”

1 John 2:15

“Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.”

The Father's commandment is to love not the world; we can enter a gusher in the spirit where we are overcome by the love of the Father. We must enter a new gusher of love songs.

All the things that are in the world are wasters, and this begins with our phones. The world system is a waster, but we should rather waste our lives for Jesus. There is no regret in serving Jesus.

Psalm 37:25

“I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.”

If we waste our lives on Jesus, we will get it back (Matt. 16:25). If we spend our lives seeking God, it will not return to us void because it is a seed. The first person to waste His life is Jesus – He wasted it on man, but what many are wasting their lives on is vanity. May we waste our time and our things on Jesus.

Have we ever waited on Jesus and expressed how much we miss Him?

Revelation 3:20

“Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.”

We are entering a new phase of devotion with our Lord Jesus, for we must connect with Him. It is possible for us to be so obsessed with His presence that we are unaware of our environment at that moment. We can be desperate for Him.

Prayer:

Lord, we pray that we will enter the next level of love with You, where we are obsessed with Your presence and we are found no more.

Interpretation of Tongues

You are here, You are here as the Spirit; You are here as the quickening Spirit. You are here to bring an awakening, You are here to bring life, You are here to do that which only You can do, You are here to do what no man can do, to do what only You can do, Jesus. You are the first to love, You are the teacher of the love way, master of the love way, priest of the love way, father of the love way, projector of the love way; the first of the love way. Love way, it is love way, love path, love way.

“I brought you breath here to the end that you may know how to interpret the love way – the love way that the Son has brought, the love way that the Son has orchestrated, the love way that the Son has authored. It is to awaken that secret pathway of life, that secret life – the secret life where it is just you and I alone, you and I alone in the secret. Where I speak to you in the secret and you understand My sayings in the secret, and you carry out the life of the secret even in the public. You live out as one who has heard in the secret, as one who has seen in the secret. It is a love way, it is the love way that I have brought to you; it is breath for the love way, breath to walk in the love way, breath to do the commandment of the way of love.”

“I call many; I do not call a few, I call many. For you see, I want to rapture you in love, rapture you in My love, overwhelm you in the ocean of love; overwhelm you in the ocean of love where all of your life is interpreted in that ocean. I bring to you light, I bring to you breath. I brought you breath, My breathing is upon you here. I am the Father of spirits, I am the Father of light; I brought you spirit, I brought you life. Yea, you are My garden, I planted this garden.” 

“My fellows, My brethren. In the midst of My fellows, in the midst of My brethren, I will sing praises. I will declare the name of My Father, that you may be baptized therein. For you see, the name of My Father is a great ocean that I have brought you: in different dispensations, different measurements, names, spirits. This is not the first time you are interfacing with spirits, but you see, I am bringing to you the world of My Father; it is a large world, it is a large ocean, swim in it. In it you will find bread, in it you will find life, in it you will find wine, in it you will find blood; in it you will find mysteries unveiled, and bring you to the world of My Father. The world of My Father is a mighty ocean that you have been brought into. Swim in it that you will not remain the same again. Swim in it and it will interface you into the world that is new, into the world that is new. But you see, stay here, birth here, eat here, swim here, drink here; your destiny is tied to it, you are eating into destiny, you are eating into My Father," saith the Lord Jesus.

Message Begins

We must recognize that the Church belongs to Christ and we must follow Him. We must follow the spirit (of the message) and not the letter. The Lord has added love to us.

John 6:63

“It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.”

1 Corinthians 3:6

“I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.”

Jesus really blessed us on Friday (27th December) and He is still here with us.

Revelation 1:1

“The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John…”

There is no appearing without revelation. The burden on Friday  (27th December) is to raise servants, that there cannot be an end without servants of God being raised. What will signal the end is the emergence of the servants of God and it is those servants that can receive the things that will shortly come to pass. It is servants that will accelerate things to make sure they come to pass shortly; without servants there can never be acceleration. Those servants have certain capacity in them to fulfill things that will be revealed.

2 Peter 3:12

“Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?”

The end of all things is when the Heavens shall be on fire; the end of all things is not by natural disaster. The end is when Heavens and the Earth will pass away with fervent heat. The end is not when there is rapture; rapture is not the judgement throne. The white throne of judgement is the end.

Revelation 20:11

“And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.”

This end cannot happen without servants of God who can receive things that will make them come to pass shortly. The continuation of Friday's burden is that servants must be raised. Jesus wants the end to come. Jesus is the end of all things, and He is compassionate to see the end come but the end will not come without the emergence of servants.

We need to redeem time.

Ephesians 5:16

“Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.”

Revelation 1:1

“The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John…”

To redeem or shortly come to pass is to accelerate things. When the book was collected by Jesus from the One sitting on the Throne things became accelerated.

Revelation 5:1

“And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.”

The revelation of Jesus Christ which God gave to Him is this book. This book is not revelation chapter two and three which is the measurement of the servants. The seven Churches are Churches of servants.

Revelation 2:20

“Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.”

The woman here is a spirit that rested on certain gospellers to teach some things that defiles certain brethren, while the ministers (servants) are not just five fold ministers.

Revelation 2:14

“But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication.”

All the teachings are to defile the servants, and the servants are the Churches.

Revelation 1:4-5

“ John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne; And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood…”

Revelation 1:10-11

“I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.”

The book of Revelation is written to seven Churches in Asia who are servants. The receiver of the message was John and he was also a servant receiving for servants.

Revelation 1:1

“The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John…”

Chapter three of Revelation is to measure the faithfulness of the servants in service which is to prove to them if they are worthy of receiving the revelation and making it come to pass shortly, or they will waste time with it. Even Satan, our adversary, knows that his time is short.

Revelation 12:12

“Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.”

There is a speedy work God wants to do Next Year because Satan wants to drag time and in dragging time, men become weaker and more corrupted. The state of souls in the year 2023 is not the state of soul in the year 2024 which is even evident in the Body of Christ. The way people accord themselves title in the year 2024 is alarming in comparison to the last five years; many are calling themselves apostle - apostleship is not to be accorded just by revelation and we must be diligent in keeping ourselves from all such kind of manner of prophecy which is from Satan; Satan is an impostor. All these things are things bringing pain to the heart of Jesus.  All these things which were not allowed in the Church five years ago are already becoming norms. Time must not be prolonged.

Revelation 10:5-6

“And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven, And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer…”

It is the passion of this angel that time will not be prolonged because this can even make us lose things which we already have. The essence of the book of Revelation is the book in the right hand of Him that sits on the Throne (Rev. 5:1). The Church is prepared for the book.

Revelation 5:1-2

“And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals. And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?”

Revelation 4:1

“After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.”

Revelation chapter two and three is for the evaluation of the Church which is not the main reason why John received the book. The essence of the book is after chapter four of the book of revelation; the essence is chapter five.

It takes one who has finished and has become a witness of the book to open the book.

Revelation 1:5

“And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood…”

Revelation 5:3-4

“And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon. And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.”

John wept because no man could open the book. Nobody was worthy to look or open the book, both in Heaven and on Earth. To be worthy of opening the book is not about who is worthy to die for all men because Jesus already died when they were looking for those worthy to open the book.

Revelation 5:5

“And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.”

To have prevailed means a lot of things went into it. There was an accuser of this book but there was One who prevailed to open the book and that is the resurrected Jesus Christ. The opening of the book comes with war which our Lord Jesus Christ prevailed.

Jesus is greater than the book and this made Him worthy to open the book but the book must be committed to His servants.  Whatever is in that book has not been done by anyone before until Jesus collected the book and began to open the seals.

Revelation 6:12-13

“And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.”

Revelation 8:1-2

“And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour. And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets.”

For every seal that was opened there were events taking place until the 7th seal. When the 7th seal was opened there was silence for some time and this is because the trumpets needed to be empowered. As they blew the trumpets, there was an impact.

All these cannot happen if there were no servants, because servants must take part to ensure that these things come to pass. This book is being opened again because there are servants emerging and as the seal is opening in this coming year servants will be steadfast. People like sons of Issachar who understand time and seasons must emerge.

Ephesians 5:17

“Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.”

1 Chronicles 12:32

“And of the children of Issachar, which were men that had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do; the heads of them were two hundred; and all their brethren were at their commandment.”

The book was not just shown to John but the Person who was holding the book was first shown to him.

Revelation 5:1

“And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.”

All these things are ordinances that must be observed. All what John saw in Revelation chapter 4 are not just things that started when he was around but ordinances that they had and were keeping.

Revelation 4:10-11

“The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.”

The way of response and worship is according to the building of the creatures. John also responded and worshiped according to his building but his worship changed when he saw the end of the book.

Revelation 7:3

“Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.”

The book is for the servants of our God who are firstly servants of the Holy Ghost who became servants of Christ. Part of the burden of Friday’s teaching was on how servants of Christ are being raised.

Romans 6:17-18

“But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you. Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.”

These servants of righteousness are servants of Christ.

Romans 8:1-2

“There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.”

New Birth is not what makes us free from sin and death. Obeying from the heart is the secret of being made free. To be made free is to obey that form of doctrine that was delivered.  Doctrine is not the same thing as knowledge.

Isaiah 28:9

“Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts.”

First they teach us knowledge, then they make us understand. We can have knowledge and not have understanding; however, the importance of knowledge can not be overlooked because refusing knowledge is refusing priesthood. Doctrine is the advance of knowledge, we can be taught knowledge and not have understanding; understanding is in doctrine.

Knowledge is the layout of God’s will. Teaching knowledge is warfare on its own. Knowledge is for us to know the will of God. We are going to enter error if we are not taught the word properly, and we are permitted to enter spirit.

We need knowledge to avoid shipwreck in our journey of faith. Anyone who is not ashamed of knowledge will be safe. Every man is framed by word. The reason Jesus recommended Rev. Hagin to the Church was because he was worded (has word).

Hebrews 11:3

“Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.”

Colossians 1:9

“For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding…”

The knowledge of His will is to teach us the mystery of Christ, mystery of the Father, and the mystery of God (Col. 2:2); this is the frame of His will. This frame will never change even when Heaven and Earth passes away, there are wills that can not endure such as will of relocation or marriage - certain things are subject to changes when it comes to human perception but pertaining to the precept of God, it will never change. The will of God for the Church will never change. Time is not the determinant factor of things of God but the response of people, if some certain people fail to respond God can choose to wait for another generation.

The mystery of Christ, mystery of the Father, and mystery of God are substances used in building our Lord Jesus and He is the pattern Son who we must conform to and we must not despise the substances that framed Him up in order not enter error.

Precepts are ordinances that will never change; precepts are knowledge. The observation of Sabbath ordained for Israel is for teaching of knowledge and this is what the priests do. Avoidance of knowledge leads to perishing. Anyone who hates knowledge hates God.

Exodus 20:10-11

“But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.”

Hosea 4:6

“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.”

If we have a proper precept we will know that we do not have Eternal Life yet. A proper knowledge will help us not be deceived even when signs and wonders come with wrong precepts. It takes knowledge of His will to know the wrong precept.

1 John 5:11-12

“And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.”

Jude 1:21

“Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.”

The knowledge of God's will settles every contradictions in our souls. We should not be tired of hearing nor weary because we have not yet attained the life of the precept we know because Satan, who we are meant to overcome has precepts and lines; and the lines of Satan are lies. We must be full of precepts so that we can have judgement against the wiles of the devil in every level he is coming for us. We need to love precepts and be full of precepts in order to discern every fake prophet. What we need is a prophet of the Lord who teaches the precept of the Lord. If we are not void of the knowledge of God’s will even demons and witches will not be comfortable around us. Precept makes our spirit and souls superior to witches and demons. When we are sound in precept, we will be able to stand against fake prophets and be tough against any ungodly counsel or prophecy coming from home or anywhere.

The understanding we should have is not just what is taught in TLAC but our belief in the Scripture and what we stand for. We must all come to the state of the blind man that was healed by Jesus whose parents said he is of age to answer for himself.

John 9:20-21

“His parents answered them and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind: But by what means he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age; ask him: he shall speak for himself.”

Prophecy

“Warriors of light, war with the light, it is enough to overcome certain darknesses. War with it, keep it to your hand, that you might overcome these things, war with light.”

Message Continues

We need fullness of the knowledge of His will. Will of God for us in marriage is subject to change but ‘the will’ cannot change. ‘The will’ is the ordinance of God that cannot change. God used it on Jesus and it worked.

Colossians 1:9

“For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding…”

Colossians 2:2

“That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ…”

Jesus Christ is who He is today by the will of Christ, the will of the Father, and the will of God.

Isaiah 9:6

“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.”

The writing of Apostle Paul in Col. 2:2 is derived from Isa. 9:6;  all the apostles wrote from the prophet; their letters are from the prophets.

The Mighty God is the mystery of God, the Everlasting Father is the mystery of the Father, the Prince of Peace is the final outcome of learning Christ; mystery of Christ is life and peace. The end of Christ is life and peace.

Romans 8:6

“For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.”

We are in for three mysteries.

Romans 12:2

“And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.”

To have the fullness of God’s will is to have: the good will which is the mystery of Christ, the acceptable will which is the mystery of the Father and the perfect will of God which is the mystery of God. These are the fullness of God; all these things are things that made Jesus for He was made perfect by the things He suffered.

Hebrews 5:8-9

“Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered; And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him…”

We can not afford to bring different kinds of ministers because not all ministers know the will of God; amidst all these ministers who know not the will of God we have some who believe that they already have Eternal Life. A man who has Eternal Life is one who can think the way God thinks. The thought of one who has Eternal Life will affect the thought of everyone in the territory that is why Satan who is not even eternal determines the thoughts of men in every territory. The spirit over a territory determines the manner of life of those in that territory. What makes a Church is not the ambience of the Church but where the Church stands in the spirit; a Church who enters eternal can determine  the manner of the  people in that territory.

The lack of knowledge makes one run into fallacy and even misinterpret the Scriptures. It is the misinterpretation of Scripture that makes some claim that they are eternal, equal with God, immortal; they claim that they are equal with the Creator yet they cannot create anything - having initiatives does not equal us with the Creator, it is only false exhortation of ourselves which is how Satan even started.

Romans 6:17-18

“But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you. Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.”

Knowledge is to give us safety and an architectural plan of our destination; to have the knowledge of a certain mystery does not equal the attainment of that mystery. The mystery of God is the fullness of salvation.

Revelation 10:7

“But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.”

1 Peter 1:10

“Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you…”

The fulfillment of the mystery of God is when salvation is fully obtained and revealed. Doctrine is the law of the message while knowledge is part of the message - every doctrine has its message.

It takes servants of God to make things come to pass shortly; servants of Christ cannot do that. Each servant starts with doctrine, and every message has its spirit - servants are raised from the spirit of the message after they have understood the message. There is the message which is knowledge and there is the spirit of the message which is doctrine which is meant to be obeyed from the heart.

Romans 6:17-18

“But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you. Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.”
