Prayers Begin

 

2 Thessalonians 3:1

Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you: 

 

Apostle Paul understood that there is a need for the word of the Lord to have free course and be glorified.

 

Acts 19:20

So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed.

 

For the word of God to grow and prevail, it means that the word of the Lord has free course. This has to do with dominating the attitude of the people.

 

Prayer:

Lord we pray that as You will be speaking through Your servant, the word of the Lord will have free course and be glorified in us.

 

 

Doctrine can be likened to waters; and when the pathway for water to flow is blocked, the flow may be stopped; but when the water comes in full force, that barricade will definitely be defeated. Regardless of the measure and height of the ideologies in the heart; when the word of the Lord comes, it takes away every barricade. That is a free course (2 Thessalonians 3:1).

 

Hebrews 4:12

For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. 

 

ETS is meant for the equipping and establishment of the saints; if this will happen, it means that all things that will oppose the knowledge of the Lord must be taken out of the way.

 

Prayer:

Lord, may Your word find free course, be spoken expressly and be glorified!

 

 

When the word of God does not have a free course, the ministers would have to exert more energy to have a breakthrough. This is just like what happens when there is friction in an engine; but when the Word has a free course, it will help the minister, such that access to the realm from which he is speaking opens up more and more.

 

Hebrews 5:11

Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing. 

 

The reason why he couldn't utter those things before was because the door of utterance was not yet open; if he spoke concerning those things at that point, it would have made a shipwreck of the people.

 

Prayer:

Lord, open the door of utterance over Your servant, Rev. Busuyi Olabode.

 

 

Colossians 4:3-4

Withal praying also for us, that God would open unto us a door of utterance, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds:  That I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak. 

 

Paul could only make it manifest as he ought to speak when the door was open; no man can convey mysteries until that mystery is open. We are praying that the Lord unveils the mystery of the Father. There are things unknown, and it takes the door of utterance to unveil those things. The reason why the prophets of old could prophesy the things they did is because a door of utterance was made open to them (1 Peter 1:10-11).

 

Prayer:

Lord, open a door of utterance unto Your servants for an abundant access into things pertaining to the Father.

 

Prayer:

May peace, strength and wisdom abound to us in ETS 2.0

 

 

Pastor Tosin Gabriel

 

Prayer:

Thank You Lord.

 

Hebrews 8:1

Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an High Priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens; 

 

The summary of everything said is that we have such a High Priest who is seated. ‘Such’ is a classification; a distinguishing and distinctive factor. God told Jesus to sit after performing all the curriculum of God.

 

Hebrews 10:12

But this man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; 

 

Jesus offered this sacrifice standing and offered just one sacrifice for sin. He offered just one sacrifice and sat down forever.

 

Hebrews 10:13

From henceforth expecting till His enemies be made His footstool. 

 

Psalm 110:1

The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit Thou at My right hand, until I make Thine enemies Thy footstool.

 

Jesus was told by God to sit, God set Him at His right hand, waiting for His enemies to be made His footstool.

 

Hebrews 8:1-2

Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an High Priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens;  A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man.

 

The heavens Jesus sat on are the sanctuary and the true tabernacle. Jesus is seated but He is still working, for He is a minister who brings ministrations. God pitched this ministry for Jesus to bring all His enemies under His footstool. Footstool is part of Jesus for He is the Head of the Church.

 

Ephesians 1:22

And hath put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be the head over all things to the church

 

Foot is part of the body. The footstool is part of His body. This is a ministry to His body. This is a ministry for those who are coming to God. It takes the High Priest to prepare us for God.

 

Hebrews 8:3-4

For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer.  For if He were on earth, He should not be a priest, seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law:

 

Levitical priesthood is an earthly priesthood. If the law is not in place, offering of gifts will not be accepted. The law speaks of ordinance. They offer gifts according to the law.

 

Hebrews 8:5

Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, see, saith He, that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount.

 

Moses saw a copy of the Heavenly tabernacle. The earthly tabernacle is a copy of the original Heavenly tabernacle. This was why Moses had to build according to prescription and was counted faithful for He built according to pattern.

 

Hebrews 8:6

But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also He is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.

 

Jesus obtained a more excellent ministry that is higher than that of Aaron and his sons. ‘Excellent’ is something of the present. Angels are of the present. The tabernacle Moses saw, was a ministration of Angels; for it came through Angelic help. The angel leading them in the wilderness was the pillar of cloud and pillar of fire. The angel that helped to build this tabernacle was a cherub. Jesus obtained a more excellent ministry that is higher than angels’. The better promises in the new testament is that God will be our Father first and then God will be our God. They are two promises.

 

2 Corinthians 6:16

And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? For ye are the temple of the Living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. 

 

This is the first promise.

 

2 Corinthians 6:17-18

Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,  And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be My sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty. 

 

This is the second promise.

Jesus is the mediator of this Covenant, for He already obtained the promises and because He obtained it, He can mediate it. This is not favouritism but attainment. Jesus is set at the right hand to minister the promises and for the purpose of receiving the better promises of the new testament.

 

 

2 Corinthians 7:1

Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. 

 

If we don't cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and the spirit and perfect holiness in the fear of God, the promises will not come to us. Our spirit must be cleansed, for it has ignorance, which is a kind of filthiness. Our spirit man has to be renewed in knowledge. There is still a darkness that our spirit must be freed from.

 

Colossians 3:10

And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of Him that created Him: 

 

Our newly created spirit has to go through renewal of knowledge. To receive new testament ministry, we must be cleansed from filthiness.

 

Hebrews 8:6-8

But now hath He obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also He is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises. For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.  For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah: 

 

The new covenant is made with the house of Israel and the house of Judah. The house of Israel cleanses themselves from the filthiness of the flesh while the house of Judah cleanses themselves from the filthiness of the spirit which is greater. Jews are Judah. Judah has grace to cleanse himself from the filthiness of the spirit.

 

Romans 2:29

But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God. 

 

When we become born again, we still have a Gentile texture in our souls and it will take cleansing to become an Isrealite, then a Jew. This is a Jew inwardly.

 

Hebrews 8:8

For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah: 

 

The day is coming at a particular time. Some people’s day won't come until they cross to the other side. The day will only come when the requirement for the day is fulfilled. The requirement for the coming of the day of the new covenant is a heart of flesh.

 

Hebrews 8:9-10

Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers on the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in My covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.  For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put My laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to Me a people: 

 

This is the new covenant. ‘After those days’ is to gather facilities for the new covenant.

Covenant is made by writing His laws; it is a ministration of His laws. To be a father to us, God must've given us His laws which are called the Father’s laws for God to become our Father. God is not our Father outside of His laws. In the absence of the laws, there is no covenant. Even the old covenant is not without laws. There are laws binding that covenant too. The ministry of the High Priest is in the giving of laws. The High Priest won't minister God’s laws to us if we have not yet received the laws that precede His law. The High Priest mediates by writing laws. God commended laws to Him for He inherited the laws and is an embodiment of the laws.

 

Jesus’ excellent ministry is attached to His name. Ministry is His life. Inside Jesus’ name is His ministry. It is out of His name and nature that He blesses us. Preaching Jesus is preaching blessings, for He is an embodiment of blessings. Jesus got here by the imprint of laws. There is no man on earth that is not under law. There is a law of the bondage of corruption.

 

Romans 8:21

Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. 

 

Bondage is bound to a law. There is no nature outside of law. A more excellent name is a nature. We do what we do as a result of the laws governing us. When we change the laws, our nature changes. The writings of the Living God is the ministry of His laws.

 

Hebrews 8:4 (KJV)

For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law: 

 

Jesus’ ministry is embedded in the laws of God; both of the Living God and the True God.

 

Hebrews 5:1

For every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in things pertaining to God, that He may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins:

 

Things pertaining to God are things pertaining to the Living and the True God. The Living God is the Everlasting God, the True God is the Eternal God. The Priests have to bless us with laws of sanctification before the High Priest can give us His law. We must obey the law of sanctification before we can obey the Law of Everlasting Life.

 

Romans 7:18-20

For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.  For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.  Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. 

 

This is the travail of a carnal man to become spiritual. Sin is a law.

 

Romans 7:22

For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: 

 

We can be free from sin; it is possible. To delight is the ability to do the will.

 

Romans 7:23

But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. 

 

The members are our body and our soul. The law is first placed in our mind, then written in our heart. It is not yet our law if it is not written upon our heart.

 

 

Interpretation Of Tongues (1)

“I am bringing some measure of freedom even to someone here, I am coming to you for freedom, I am coming to bring an unlocking, to bring you freedom, to teach you how to be free, to show you to be free. For there is a door standing open before you, but you need might, wisdom, help and I have brought you help. I have brought you might, wisdom, that you may be able, that you may gain the ability to enter in, to the door that I have set before you.”

 

 

Interpretation Of Tongues (2)

“I will bring about an opening, even the opening of your mind, of your heart to that which I am bringing to you, to the thought that I am weaving. I am weaving a thought in this place. For I want to open your mind, I want to give you a manner of understanding, an understanding. Therefore I say give earnest attention, earnest heed, I will cause there to be an opening here tonight, I will bring about an opening here tonight and I stand in your midst that many may gain understanding.”

 

 

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. 

 

After being weaned from the milk and drawn from the breast, a soul will delight in the law of Christ. A believer will be comfortable with certain laws of sin if law is not taught. Milk will teach us repentance from dead works.

 

Galatians 5:17

For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. 

 

The flesh is always against the spirit and the spirit is always against the flesh. The book of Romans is for those crossing from carnality to spirituality. There are laws within, which fight the law of life.

 

Romans 7:23-24

But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.  O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? 

 

Sin empowers death to come. 'Body' in this Scripture is a constitution of death. A carnal man must cry like this to receive freedom.

 

Romans 7:25

I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin. 

 

This is a man of Hope, Faith opens the eyes to hope.

 

 

Romans 7:25

I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin. 

 

Romans 8:1

There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 

 

As we begin to respond, which is our walk, we overcome and become spiritual. Anytime a believer walks after the flesh, there is condemnation. When we walk in the spirit, we are responding to the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus. When we walk by the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus, we will be made free from the law of sin and death.

 

Romans 8:2

For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. 

 

 

Fasting does not overcome law; rather, fasting suppresses it. Fasting aids but doesn't undo law. It takes another law to undo a law. The law of the spirit of life is higher than the law of sin and death. This is a man who has liberty. This man can now do what he willeth for his struggle has ended.

 

Romans 6:18

Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness. 

 

Romans 7:25

I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin. 

 

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. 

 

We become free from sin by obeying the form of doctrine from the heart. When this doctrine is taught, the law is placed in our mind and raises a standard for us. When we obey, writings take place in our hearts. What we do consciously will be imprinted on our subconscious. There is a conscious and a subconscious part of the heart. When we exercise ourselves consciously, after a while, it registers in our subconscious. Freedom is in obeying the form of doctrine from the heart.

 

Romans 1:16

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. 

 

The Gospel of Christ enacts the law of the spirit of life. Inside every doctrine is a law. There is a law in the doctrine of Christ which is the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus.

 

 

Interpretation Of Tongues (3)

“Pathways of freedom, wisdom for freedom. For as many as those who have not been at ease, who have been mourning, this is comfort. It's a making of truth, it's the making of the law even the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus is a maker of those who are free, of  men who know freedom, its a maker of men who will experience freedom even freedom against sin. Men will attain, for I am bringing laws even laws of freedom.”

 

 

Interpretation Of Tongues (4)

"Thank you for presence in this place, for angels, for spirit, for the help you have brought, the help you are bringing, thank you for the help here. I hear in my spirit, "Help is here, there is help here, help to walk worthy of the Lord, help to walk, help for walk, help for walkers. Feet that are lame are being healed, that they may walk in the pathway that the spirit is shedding, making known, that there may be an enablement from within., You will no longer be unable, you will not be counted in the midst of disable ones, for ability is come to you, ability to walk. I see a dispensation of the knowledge of God revealed by the Spirit of wisdom and revelation that many will walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, many will please the Lord."

 

 

Inside every doctrine is a law.

 

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 to you. Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness. 

 

Sin is not that powerful. The doctrine of Christ is powerful to undo sin. It releases a law that makes us free. Our being made free is in our continuous obedience. As we obey, the grip of sin becomes loosened.

 

Proverbs 4:1-2

Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding.  For I give you good doctrine, forsake ye not my law. 

 

In doctrine is the law. Obedience to good doctrine brings about the writing law on us and we are made free from sin. The doctrine of Christ brings the law of liberty which is the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus. Having being made free from the law of sin and death, we have cleansed ourselves and then our days come. The new testament does not deal with the law of sin and death.

 

Hebrews 8:8 (KJV)

For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah: 

 

The law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus is the preparation for the ministration of the new testament

 

Hebrews 8:6

But now hath He obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also He is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises. 

 

The covenant is of better promises;

 

2 Corinthians 7:1

Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

 

We need cleansing first before we can receive the promises of the new testament. Each promise is a law. The law of the spirit of life prepares us for the promises.

 

2 Corinthians 6:17

Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you 

 

This is a preparation for the new testament. We won’t be received unless we ‘come out from among them and be separate'. The law of the spirit of life is a taste, after that, then the good works can be initiated .

 

Psalm 34:8 (KJV)

O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him. 

 

2 Timothy 3:16-17

All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:  That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works. 

 

Perfect is to be good enough. 'All good works' is when the new testament begins. New testament ministration begins with the doing of good works. Then we will be perfected in the good work which is the next phase of the doing of the good work. The law of the spirit of life is our first liberty. It is not a permanent liberty because if we don't go on to the next phase of liberty, one can still return back to bondage.

 

2 Peter 2:20

For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. 

 

Pollutions in the world are things that defile and contaminate. Entanglement comes first before being overcome. A believer who becomes entangled and is overcome will not war again nor strive against sin but will rather settle with sin. The ministration of the High priest is to make us free unto everlasting.

 

Proverbs 4:1-2

Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding.  For I give you good doctrine, forsake ye not My law. 

 

The Doctrine of Everlasting Life has laws in it too. The law of Everlasting Life is the perfect law of liberty. Perfect law gives us perfect liberty.

 

James 1:25

But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. 

 

Hebrews 8:6

But now hath He obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also He is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises. 

 

The Law of the Father changes us to become the express image of the Father.

 

 

Doctrine is waters.

 

James 1:25

But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.

The perfect law of liberty is higher than the law of the spirit of life. To look into the perfect law of liberty and continue in it is to embody it. This is the law that sets us free from the bondage of corruption which is hell and death.

2 Corinthians 3:17-18

Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.  But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord. 

 

This is the liberty from the bondage of corruption. The glass is the doctrine. The work of the perfect law of liberty is to change our person. This is the law of everlasting life that changes our nature and makes us become divine. Divine nature is everlasting life and this is where the High Priest receives us.

 

Jeremiah 29:11

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. 

 

Our expected end is Eternal Life. We will first become Divine before we can become Eternal. The realm of Everlasting Life is Divinity, the realm of Eternal Life is Eternity.

 

We will obey till we are made free in Jesus’ name (Amen).

 

Prayer:

Lord, we receive grace to do unto perfection.
