Interpretation Of Tongues 1

"Many hosts, my hosts, see the hosts. Many emissaries of height, many angels sent from height in your midst, even Michael, for you have come into this height again from whence the words that were spoken were spoken to you; you have come again to this height under the same administrations of much host, of high angels. There are many dignitaries in your midst, many dignitaries even sent from on high with the knowledge of the highest."

"For I am bringing those words to you again from the same height that you may experience same deliverance, same resurrection. This meeting is not inferior to that which you went for, for the same dignitaries, spirits are here, the same Michael is here to ascend you again. Let heart be open, let your mind be open for I want to ascend you up again," saith the Lord.

Rev Ken Igbinedion: Acquiring the content that is in God

Sis Bidemi Agbaje

God is joy and the joy of the Lord is our strength. ‘Who is like God?’ is a season opened upon us and it is not without warfare. We are expected to run for safety as there is trouble knocking at the door. Safety is not guaranteed in (the realm of) Christ alone.

Hebrews 5:7

Who in the days of His flesh, when He had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto Him that was able to save Him from death, and was heard in that He feared 

We must run; if we don't run, danger will catch up with us. In this period also, we must have joy; this joy will keep us going and it is as a result of workings within. Without the knowledge of the Word, we can’t know this joy. The joy will keep us in any circumstance that may come our way.

Hebrews 12:2

Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Jesus could see beyond all the circumstances, because of the joy set before Him and it made Him endure to the end.

Genesis 1:26

And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 

God created man without His content; this was intentional so that men can look unto God. The content of God cannot be delivered at once but gradually. The voice of God is what delivered the content of God to Adam gradually. As we are faithful to the little content of God delivered to us, more will be measured to us. Circumstances exposed the different names of God to the children of Israel.

Genesis 17:1

And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before Me, and be thou perfect. 

The Lord God Almighty is the all-breasted (multi-breasted) God that can breastfeed all men but still be inexhaustible and still have in abundance. The more we come to God, the more He pours out of Himself to us. Also, God created a void in man that will make man to pant after the Lord.

Matthew 5:6

Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. 

We must move beyond thirsting after righteousness to doing the will

Matthew 7:7

Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: 

A man that will ask from the Lord knows that there is a hunger in him that must be filled. Nothing else can satisfy man except God. Solomon is a prototype of a man who had everything but still called them vanity, showing that the only thing that can fill man is God. If we don't seek to be filled by God, we will never be satisfied.

Eternal Life is the end of the journey. At every level, we must run and never be at ease. For God to bring Himself to us means that some people are already in the realm of Everlasting Life so we must not be at ease but run at whatever level we are as the Lord will be helping us.

Day 6, Morning Session 2

Acquiring the Content that is in God

Rev Ken Igbinedion

Reverend said man is a hollow and he has to go back to God to fill the hollow. God made man without His content and we must acquire the content of God.

David is a template and is a man that had content. When the time to fight against Goliath came, it wasn't difficult for him because he had been trained and had acquired content. King David knew what is righteousness and what is Salvation and how that Salvation is what you get at the end of the journey.

Psalm 132:9

Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let thy saints shout for joy. 

Psalm 132:16

I will also clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints shall shout aloud for joy. 

At the end of the journey, David had become so altered that when a lady was brought to him, he wasn't moved.

Jesus knew the content of God but some men knew God just by His name through circumstance. We should love the Lord and know Him. Jesus Christ has and knows the content of God and the end of having the content of God is getting to the throne of "O God". Just as Jesus grew in knowledge and understanding, we must also grow up to know the Lord.

There will be a time when man will see that there is a hollow in Him that only God can fill and they will cry out to the Lord and there will be a massive harvest.  The content God has is what He wants to transfer to us.

For God to say ’Who is like God?’ means there is trouble in the land.

2 Corinthians 3:11

For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious. 

We need to know the real Jesus, the real gospel and the real Spirit. The declaration of Michael is a declaration that war is coming and a people that will have the content of God must be prepared. We need to be deliberate about having the content of God and pursue it. The content of God is Eternal Life. We must stay to have the real content of God so that the evil day won't catch us unaware.

God is our satisfaction. Everything can be okay naturally but if that hollowness in man is not filled, man will never be satisfied or see the point of living. I encourage us all to stay in this gospel. As we stay under our pastors, we will have the real content of God and I pray the Lord upholds our pastors to finish well and strong.

Day 6, Morning Session 1

Pastor Tayo Ladejo: The Prophetic operations of the Angels

Bro Demola Bamidele

Pastor Tayo’s message was more of a prophetic declaration. He said at times, in certain circumstances or situations, God will want us to respond but at other times, the Holy Ghost will prompt us to keep quiet.

He said concerning the last days; the end of the days is typified by the harvest.

Matthew 13:24-26

Another parable put He forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. 

It takes a level of maturity to know the difference between the tares and the wheat because they look so much alike. There is the harvest of darkness and the harvest of light.

Isaiah 60:2

For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. 

We cannot afford to live every day of our lives without the power and the authority of the word of God. Everything we are learning must be a part of us and we must become it. There is war and in this same darkness, our nation will experience a great outbreak of light.

In these last days, God is only interested in people who are becoming like Him. Our ambition must be to be like God. Christ is being painted to us to see that there is an end we are going to, which is to become like God.

Matthew 24:4

And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. 

To take heed means to be spiritually intense and prophetically inclined. We must take heed by obeying what we are hearing. Having discernment is by the word. Jesus could know that there is someone - Judas who was with Him but was sold totally to the devil  

Fear is not a way to be stable in this season.

Matthew 24:6

And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 

Chaos are not things that will end the world and many don't know this. Fear of circumstances is not of God. The media is a way of spreading fears in the world.

In this season, it is only those who know their God that will be strong and do exploits.These exploits are exploits of God. In this season, everything that we are going through must work for the salvation of our soul. Everything happening in Nigeria must be for our growth. Having another tenure is not our hope.

Convenience should not hijack our pursuit even though we want things to be better. Everything we are going through and will go through must form Christ in us. If not, we are of all men most miserable. We must come to that place of using everything to acquire God. Everything we are going through is not outside the knowledge of our God for He sees and hears our cry and will bring help to us.

Sons of disobedience and sons of obedience are being raised in this season. This is the season where we don't harden our heart to grow unto sons of obedience for it is easier in this world to become a son of disobedience than to be a son of obedience; so we must yield and obey the processes to conform to and become the sons of obedience.

Day 6, Evening Session

Rev Kayode Oyegoke: Unveiling the mystery of the Lamb

Bro Joshua Adeleye

The new testament is the interpretation of the oracle of God. It captured the whole message for it revealed the interpretation of the oracle of God. The enemy covered so much about God but the new testament unveils it to us. The new testament interprets everything that looks veiled to a believer.

Nigeria is coming to that border where all that we are praying for will look as though we have gotten them. Believers must be discerning and be able to know what is happening in the Spirit and know times and seasons. Daniel outlasted kings of the earth and was still relevant.

What will help us in coming to everlasting life is the discernment and knowledge of times and seasons such that we won't be at ease in Zion.

Moses was a man who was learned and had to be taken to the path to come down and descend just like how he was constrained to serve Jethro. Heaven orchestrates circumstances for us to walk in the path of the Lord.

There are things that the enemy hides from men but the Lord exposes us to the light to see beyond our darkness.

Jesus is the Lamb of God. He is the begotten Son of God.

Hebrews 1:6

And again, when He bringeth in the first begotten into the world, He saith, And let all the angels of God worship Him. 

Jesus had everything angels had and more

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.

Jesus Christ has the record of God and is the oracle of God.

Day 6, Evening Session

Rev Kayode Oyegoke: Unveiling the mystery of the Lamb

Bro Joseph Adesanya

God judges the activities of darkness by opening up light upon His people.

God wants to go ahead of the devil concerning Nigeria before the days when they get civilised. Because of the many civilizations of the more developed nations, they have ignored God and set Him aside; however, what God is doing is such that even after being civilised, they still hold on to faith so strongly. Nigeria will get better in the natural, but in the midst of that betterness, the people of God will become stronger. The work is that in the midst of civilization, we don't forget the content of God.

Reverend Kayode also spoke on serpent, and one of the lessons is that we must be persons with content. The serpent’s aim is to zap content from a man. The law that makes serpents who they are, explains how satan operates. The king cobra is a constrictor, it is a venomous animal and it swallows. To be a constrictor is to suffocate things and suck life out of them. When the cobra stings a man, its venom rushes through the blood so swiftly and in a few seconds, the person dies. When the prey dies, it doesn’t just stop there, it also swallows up that prey.

This is exactly what the devil wants to do; he is not satisfied that he kills, he wants to make sure that the content of the man so leaks that he is without content.

Luke 22:31

And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: 

Numbers 21:8

And the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live.

John 3:14

And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: 

The son of man being lifted up is communicating a manner of salvation from the serpent. As it was said in the old testament that if anyone looks at the serpent, he will be saved, likewise shall anyone that looks on the Son of God be saved. The devil studied the serpent and what God wanted to achieve through it; and that is why he came to pervert it.

The word is powerful and when it is passed across to us, it creates an atmosphere that saps out the life the enemy has given us; when He is done, He swallows us up. That is the wisdom of the Lord concerning the serpent, but the enemy studied that strategy and so perverted it. He knew that this wisdom would work and so he had to hurriedly create a counterfeit. Satan is also doctrinal; he knows how to raise a man from a baby to a mature man.

Exodus 4:23

And I say unto thee, Let My son go, that he may serve Me: and if thou refuse to let him go, behold, I will slay thy son, even thy firstborn. 

Matthew 10:16

Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. 

One quality of the serpent is that he is wise. The gospel of God is the wisdom of God (1 Corinthians 1:24). The serpent had some features that he lost by reason of the fall; also, he gained some things like venom. From the beginning, the serpent didn't have venom.

God used Believers’ Convention to paint the real nature of those creatures so that we can know the real nature that is in God.

Reverend spoke of the two signs that God gave to Moses: the first sign was that of the hand and the second is that of the face.

There was a dimension of the Lord that God wanted the children of Israel to see by asking Moses to speak to the rock, which they couldn't access because of his disobedience by striking the rock instead.

God is a shepherd; what made Pharaoh afraid of the children of Israel was because of the dominance of shepherds. Likewise, God is raising shepherds in the nation with the intention of bringing them to the church, so that they can have the culture of laying down their lives to feed the sheep. God gave us the solution to bring forth the prophecies concerning Nigeria by saying all that.

Interpretation of Tongues 2

“This is merciful droplets. This is an expression of the mercy of God towards mankind and even towards this nation, Nigeria. For you see the mercy of God is going to hover over your nation, Nigeria. He is bringing judgement, grace, light even wisdom hidden from the foundation of the world, He is bringing them to light again that true liberty may gain full expression first of all in the church and so also in the midst of creation; for creation is in bondage of corruption. But you see, liberty is coming, mercy is bringing liberty, healing. Healing is coming," saith the spirit of the Lord.

Day 6, Evening Session

Rev Kayode Oyegoke: Unveiling the Mystery of the Lamb

Pastor Israel Adeyeye

When Reverend began, he said that angels are not permitted to reign upon the earth. When Satan fell, he fell beneath the earth; looking for an opportunity to dominate the earth. Hence, when Adam fell, he gave satan the opportunity to come to the earth; he even gave him the wings to take over the heavens. Satan was first a serpent on the earth, and he eventually morphed to become a dragon. Satan used Adam to climb up.

When Adam died, authority was not given to satan immediately, because he didn’t give everything to satan. The promise of satan was that he is giving Adam quick access to immortality (Genesis 3:5); but Adam didn't sell his soul to satan. It took time for satan to really gain that dominion.

The cobra is a king and its nature is domineering, wanting to rule. The heart of Pharaoh was hard like that of a serpent; satan made it so and even put his wisdom into him. Reverend made us see that the serpent is not really a bad animal.

Exodus 4:2-3

And the LORD said unto him, What is that in thine hand? And he said, A rod.  And He said, cast it on the ground. And he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent; and Moses fled from before it. 

The rod of Moses consists of the stick and the head. The snake was the rod of God, and through it, He wrought many things in Egypt.

God trained Moses, who was so learned; and after the training, he became the meekest man on earth. That was when He introduced him to the rod operation.God would also take us through processes also; so that we can be well trained for authority.

Hebrews 3:5

And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after 

Moses was faithful with this, and because of it, God moved the authority from his hands to his face.

Numbers 20:12

And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed Me not, to sanctify Me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them.

God held Moses in such high esteem. Whatever God asks you to do, do it. If you do otherwise, after you have walked so well with Him, you are in trouble. The children of Israel made more mistakes than Moses did, but when Moses made that mistake, God couldn't pardon it. We have to walk with God with so much trembling.

The angel Michael is a morning star who has an eternal stake; he is not just an everlasting angel, he has an eternal stake.

Isaiah 14:13

For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north

Satan has lied to us to think he was the highest amongst the angels; but from what he desired, it is clear that he wanted something that was in Michael.

In the new testament, the animal to be slain for the atonement of sin is the lamb (Revelations 13:8).

Hebrews 1:13

But to which of the angels said He at any time, Sit on My right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool? 

The manifestation of the record is in that Being seated at the right hand. So, everything God is resides in that Person seated at the right hand.

Jesus’ new name is Michael, the Great Prince. The beast has the name of the dragon; he had taken the fullness of the dragon. Likewise, this Michael (who is our Lord Jesus Christ, the great Prince), is everything of God.

Hebrews 1:3

Who being the brightness of His glory, and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; 

Jesus is the expression of everything that God is.

Revelation 3:8

I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept My word, and hast not denied My name. 

This name refers to the works: His everlasting name.

Revelation 3:12

Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of My God, and the name of the city of My God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from My God: and I will write upon him My new name. 

Hebrews 12:22

But ye are come unto Mount Sion, and unto the city of the Living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels 

The heavenly Jerusalem is everlasting life, the work that we will have to go through to get to that point in the book of Revelation (Revelation 21:2) Even the eternal dimension is in phases and degrees. The names we will attain in the reward are not things we will get in one day; the tree of life has twelve fruits.

The world of eternity is the world of Lambs; and God intends to birth many lambs.

When a child is rebuked, she doesn't hold on to what caused the misunderstanding; she forgets almost immediately and can still hug the person that scolded her. This is the culture of the world to come, and God is teaching it to us now so that we will not be misfits.

This realm of everlasting life and eternal life is not unreal or make-believe; God wants us to come into it. God made the fathers in the faith to be witnesses and teachers of the healing wave.

Luke 13:32

And he said unto them, Go ye, and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures to day and to morrow, and the third day I shall be perfected. 

God is not just saying new things; it is a reality and we must believe them from the depth of our hearts. There are spirits against believing, but I see breakthrough happening such that when we wake up in the morning, we press into them with the knowledge that these things are possible. They are not things that will happen in the next twenty years; this year, we can touch this life and walk in it because all the resources have been given.

Let us be that generation that believes the impossible, that we may come into these things in the days of our flesh.

Pastor Ayorinde Fakunle

Witness

God is raising an army, He is raising the most massive army that creation has ever known. They are an army of character who will fight the wars of the end, who will fight by refusing the nature of satan and the things that men run after. A people will see that which is couched into the originality of all things, and by the weight of that sight, they will make choices that will amaze satan himself. The Lord is raising an army and every gathering in the spirit is a summoning in the spirit. Things are no longer like before again. The church is no longer the way it used to be. Something is changing and cracking within. There is going to be a breakthrough very soon.

Something is going to break out. All these shakings are culminating into a massive breakout. Mortality will be swallowed up by immortality, because some must enter into the rest (Hebrews 4:9) We are not procrastinating again. God is not playing; He is highly intentional in this season. But what pains me is that I don't see the same intent in people as is in God’s heart. The face of God is full of intent and resolve; He wants to close an age. When God comes, it shows that this age is closing.

We must follow eternal life with all that is within us. If we know eternal life, we will know that we are still far from it, but the very life of God is drawing nearer to us.

An army is being summoned in the Spirit; let us respond! It is the honour of all saints.

Prayer:

Lord, we ask for grace to see the end of this matter and respond to Your summoning.

Pastor Tosin Gabriel

We are not glorifying serpents; there is a serpent called the serpent, but there is a serpent created by God. God created serpents, just as He created lions. Serpents are not the only dangerous animals; lions are also dangerous, but we call the Lord a Lion.

John 3:14

And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:

The reason why God referred to a serpent is because of what it is meant to achieve. Serpents must have been responsible for healing in the garden. The serpent that beguiled Eve was close to the tree, and so there must have been an administration in it that would have helped man to get to the tree of life. The serpent is wise; and so satan saw this potential to pervert it. For the serpent to have beguiled Eve, they must have been close before then. The serpent satan wanted to use for Jesus was Peter (Matthew 16:22); satan saw a serpent that was close to Jesus, who he could use. That is why when Jesus replied, He said ‘Get thee behind Me, satan’. This means that as satan borrowed Peter, he also borrowed the serpent.

Matthew 10:16

Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. 

There is a good side to serpents; everything God created was good. But satan hijacked that serpent and perverted it. Hence, when the serpent fell, all animals fell with it.

Genesis 3:14

And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life 

Why was the cattle involved in the curse? This shows that the serpent was above the other animals, and so as he was cursed, all the other animals were cursed along. Until the world to come, we will not know the benefits of some of these animals. The reason why all the animals are doing the exact opposite of what they were created to do is because of the fall; there is a law at work in them now.

The reason why God’s servant emphasised on the serpents is because God wants to deal with serpents. The emblem of Egypt is a crowned serpent. That is why Egypt was the first work of the dragon. Medicine is the product of Egypt, because they are the first to do embalming. To humiliate their civilization, God then brought about plagues, but immunised the children of Israel.

Genesis 48:1

And it came to pass after these things, that one told Joseph, Behold, thy father is sick: and he took with him his two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim. 

It was in Egypt, the place of cure, that sickness was first mentioned in the Bible. When Moses threw down his rod and it became a serpent, it was to tell Pharaoh that a serpent will swallow up that serpent. It was a serpent that ruined Egypt; that rod was what God used all through to ruin Egypt.

This is a picture of what shall be in the last day. Satan has a serpent.

1 Corinthians 15:56

The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. 

Satan’s serpent is death; just as the serpent has a sting, death has a sting. But as Moses' serpent swallowed up the serpent of Egypt, death will also be swallowed up. God has to therefore teach a generation how to swallow up death!

1 Corinthians 15:54

So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. 

God will raise a generation that will swallow up death! For death  to be swallowed up in victory, something must have happened to the people; they must have overcome something called fear of death.

Hebrews 2:14

Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, He also Himself likewise took part of the same; that through death He might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil 

That fear of tomorrow is death. What makes men not to do Christ is death. Even in teaching everlasting life, people still ask, what can this teaching bring to my table? That is death. When the apostles got to this corridor, they spoke on mortality.

2 Corinthians 5:4

For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life. 

The original serpent is our Lord Jesus who can swallow up things. There is nothing satan has that God does not have a superior of. Just as Moses presented a serpent who swallowed up death to show satan that he is finished, God provided His own rod who became a serpent to swallow his serpent up.

The question ‘Who is like God?’ is no longer a question; it is meant to indict the heart of the Body (of Christ). This question was answered in the Convention: the answer to ‘Who is like God?’ is the Lamb. Jesus Christ is the answer to that question because Jesus Christ is like God. The revelation of Jesus Christ as the answer to ‘Who is like God?’ to us.

To be like God, we must see Jesus revealed to us. God wants man to be like Him, but we do know that God said that He will never share His glory with any man.

Isaiah 42:8

I am the LORD: that is My name: and My glory will I not give to another, neither My praise to graven images. 

Exodus 33:20

And He said, Thou canst not see My face: for there shall no man see Me, and live. 

1 Timothy 6:16

Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen. 

Who is he that God will then share His glory with, seeing that He has shared it with Jesus? The answer to this is in the question,’What is Jesus?’ Jesus is the Lamb and the Lamb is He who is seated on the Throne.

Revelation 22:1

And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. 

Unless we are converted into lambs, God cannot share His glory with us. We will still be men, but after conversion, we will be lamb men.

The most despised animal by the church is a lamb. When we see the picture of the Lord, it is always as the Lion. The lamb is weak; nobody identifies with it. That is why nobody identities with the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit because it will make us weak, losing our rights.

We will never get glory with our reputation; God will never give glory to a lion. The lamb is not in the lion, the lion is in the lamb.

Revelation 17:14

These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with Him are called, and chosen, and faithful. 

They made war, not with the lion but with the lamb. It is only the lamb that can make war and do it without sinning. If God is a lion without being a lamb, He would have destroyed many things. Satan still comes to God's presence and he is still rude. If the lion was the only one seated on the throne, He would have broken laws.

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. 

Revelation 5:6

And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. 

The reason the Pharisees missed Jesus is because the way the prophets painted Jesus was not the way He appeared. This is why John was greater than all born of a woman; he had eyes that they didn't have. He identified Him, not as the lion but as the Lamb (John 1:29).

The anger of God is redemptive; but the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God (James 1:20).

The goal of everlasting life is to make us a lamb. That is what we will be confronted with; we are in a season of great confrontation. A lamb is not the end of eternal life; it is the end of everlasting life.

Revelation 14:1

And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with Him a hundred forty and four thousand, having His Father's name written in their foreheads. 

Some renditions say ‘standing with Him are a hundred forty and four thousand lambs’. This means that lambs are standing with the Lamb. Hence, the Father’s name is Lamb. Name is nature. That is His name; and that Lamb is who He would share His glory with.

Revelation 14:3

And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth. 

This song is a song of glory; that is learning eternal life. The only people that could learn, and not even first sing the song in the above verse, are lambs. This shows that our goal is to be lambs. Thus; no lamb, no glory.

Can we be rebuked and not have animosity? We are adults, but to enter the Kingdom, we must be converted into little children (Mattew 18:3).

Our prayer now should be that the Lord converts us to be little children.

Reverend said that Three little beings came to meet him, but when they came to him, he threw them off.

One thing about God is that everything He created is big (Revelation 10:1). This shows that nothing He created can partake of that glory; to be seated on the Throne like Him, we have to be as small as HIm. The end of everlasting life is to make us a lamb.

The lion always propels admiration and majestic responses; but what accords the lamb is shame. What will swallow up death is shame.

Revelation 14:3

And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.

This is where those lambs could learn eternal life. They were redeemed from among men. When satan sinned, he became the old serpent; what made him a dragon is man’s perpetual disobedience. Right now, he is still up; and he will remain that way until he is disobeyed.

What will bring satan down is lamb. As we obey the lamb’s nature, we are disobeying satan. We don’t bring him down by prayer and by binding him alone. (Matthew 12:26).

Revelation 12:11

And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. 

Satan can be a serpent in your home if you can disobey him. He doesn't have to be a dragon to everybody. It all depends on how you cooperate with his nature.

Romans 16:20

And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen. 

The emblem of a lamb is peace; a lamb is a peace offering. What makes satan a dragon is men’s disobedience; and how we disobey that disobedience is to become lambic. Wives, become lambic to your husbands, husbands become lambic to your wife. Brethren, become lambic to your brethren; he is falling that way.

Overcoming by the blood of the lamb is our swift obedience to the life of the lamb. As we are being converted from man to lamb, satan is being converted from dragon to serpent. Our conversion is his conversion. The blood of the lamb will change us and make us lambs. That is the Father’s name.

Prayer:

Lord, change us from men to lambs.

Lambs are meek and harmless. Let us pray that into our heavens. Lambs are innocent, leadable and unsuspecting.
