Day 4 Morning Session 1 (31.10.2019)

Topic: Possessing The Land

Pastor Precious Gabriel

Psalm 98:1

O Sing Unto The LORD A New Song; For He Hath Done Marvellous Things: His Right Hand, And His Holy Arm, Hath Gotten Him The Victory.

New Song As Used In This Scripture Does Not Refer To Just Singing. To Sing Is To Live A Life. All That We Are Hearing Is To Bring Us To A Place Where We Can Live A Life, Which Is A New Song. The Reason We Can Sing A New Song Is Because The Lord Has Done Marvelous Things. I Believe There Are Many Things, But There Are Two Major Things That He Did That We Can Call Marvelous Things. Great And Marvelous Things Are Not Just Talking About Ordinary Things.

Victory Over What? What He Gave Us Victory In, Will Reveal To Us What He Has Done.

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.

This Is The Victory That His Right Hand And Holy Hand Had Gotten Us. It Is Victory Over Death And Grave.

1 Corinthians 15:55-57

O Death, Where [is] Thy Sting? O Grave, Where [is] Thy Victory?  The Sting Of Death [is] Sin; And The Strength Of Sin [is] The Law. But Thanks [be] To God, Which Giveth Us The Victory Through Our Lord Jesus Christ.

This Is The Real Victory That A Man Can Have. There Could Be Many Victories But This Is The Victory That God Is Commanding For Jacob. When We Talk Of Issues Of Sin, Death And Grave. Two Main Thing He Gave Us Victory Over Is Sin And Death. He Has Given Us Victory, He Gave Us The Victory Through His Right Hand And Holy Arm.

The Plan Of God Is Not To Change Us And Then Take Us To Heaven. The Main Reason In The Heart Of God For Making Man Is That He Has A Life That Can Be Fleshed Out Physically. That Was The Beginning Of His Dealing With Adam. He Will Raise A People To A Point That They Can Sing A New Song; Live A Kind Of Life. It Is Possible. Many Of The Apostles Began To Bear Witness Of These Things.

1 John 1:1-3

That Which Was From The Beginning, Which We Have Heard, Which We Have Seen With Our Eyes, Which We Have Looked Upon, And Our Hands Have Handled, Of The Word Of Life; (For The Life Was Manifested, And We Have Seen [it], And Bear Witness, And Shew Unto You That Eternal Life, Which Was With The Father, And Was Manifested Unto Us;)  That Which We Have Seen And Heard Declare We Unto You, That Ye Also May Have Fellowship With Us: And Truly Our Fellowship [is] With The Father, And With His Son Jesus Christ.

If The Writer Of This Scripture Were Not Touching Him, They Will Not Invite Other Brethren. Some People Were Already Touching That Life And To A Great Deal They Were Already Fleshing The Life Out. It Is The Desire Of God That We Are Able To Live That Life.

Psalm 98:1

O Sing Unto The LORD A New Song; For He Hath Done Marvellous Things: His Right Hand, And His Holy Arm, Hath Gotten Him The Victory. 

Psalm 44:3

For They Got Not The Land In Possession By Their Own Sword, Neither Did Their Own Arm Save Them: But Thy Right Hand, And Thine Arm, And The Light Of Thy Countenance, Because Thou Hadst A Favour Unto Them.

There Is An Object Of Attention In This Scripture, And It Is The Land. If Joshua Had Given Them Rest There Wouldn’t Have Been Another Promise Of Rest. Though They Entered The Land, They Lived In Tents, They Lived As Strangers And Pilgrims Because They Were Looking For A City Whose Builder And Maker Is God.

Hebrews 11:9-10

By Faith He Sojourned In The Land Of Promise, As [in] A Strange Country, Dwelling In Tabernacles With Isaac And Jacob, The Heirs With Him Of The Same Promise:  For He Looked For A City Which Hath Foundations, Whose Builder And Maker [is] God.

If They Were Looking For A City With Foundations Whose Builder And Maker Is God Then It Is Not A City In This Life. It Is Because Of This Promise That The Twelve Tribes Served God In The Wilderness. They Were Seeing Him From Afar And They Were Persuaded. They Couldn’t Really See It Clearly But They Followed. God Had Been Speaking About A Land, They Could See By The Spirit That This Land Is Not Something Physical.

Ezekiel 36:24, 28

For I Will Take You From Among The Heathen, And Gather You Out Of All Countries, And Will Bring You Into Your Own Land. And Ye Shall Dwell In The Land That I Gave To Your Fathers; And Ye Shall Be My People, And I Will Be Your God.

This Scripture Is Similar To;

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. 

Here God Wasn’t Talking About A Physical Land. There Is A Land Of Promise And That Land Is Glory. God Is That Land That He Wants To Give It To Man To Possess. Something Man Is Adopted Into And Has Become A Part Of.

Psalm 44:3; ‘sword’ In This Scripture Is Symbolic Of Blood.

Jeremiah 48:10

Cursed [be] He That Doeth The Work Of The LORD Deceitfully, And Cursed [be] He That Keepeth Back His Sword From Blood.

The Arm Of Man Is The Flesh

Jeremiah 17:5

Thus Saith The LORD; Cursed [be] The Man That Trusteth In Man, And Maketh Flesh His Arm, And Whose Heart Departeth From The LORD.

1 Corinthians 15:50

Now This I Say, Brethren, That Flesh And Blood Cannot Inherit The Kingdom Of God; Neither Doth Corruption Inherit Incorruption. 

God Says Flesh And Blood Cannot Inherit The Kingdom. God Must Translate Us From The State We Are, Which Is Flesh And Blood Into Another State That Is Called God.

Psalm 44:3; God Gave Them Three Things – _’His Right Hand, His Arm And The Light Of His Countenance’_ – Because Of Grace. On The Ground Of What Christ Has Done For Us We Have Been Brought To A Place Where We Can Be Admitted. Favor Is Grace. The Gospel Of Christ Will Do An Unbeliever No Good. Any Man Born Of A Woman Can Only Have Access To These Three Things, If They Can Stand In The Grace That Christ Has Brought To Man.

Romans 10:9

That If Thou Shalt Confess With Thy Mouth The Lord Jesus, And Shalt Believe In Thine Heart That God Hath Raised Him From The Dead, Thou Shalt Be Saved. 

Only Two Things Are Necessary For Man To Be Born Again - To Believe And To Confess The Lord Jesus, Then He Also Needs To Be Filled With The Holy Spirit. Without These Three Things One Cannot Possess The Eternal Life That God Has For Man. He Also Cannot Take Possession Of The Land Or Come Out Of The State Of Being Flesh And Blood. A Man Cannot Overcome Flesh And Blood By His Own Ability. It Doesn’t Happen By Just Making Up Your Mind.

Sin Is Not Just What Is Done Outwardly; Even The Dumb And Deaf Also Sin. We Don’t Only Sin When We Talk. At Some Point In Your Life You Might Find Out That The Physical Manifestations Of Sin Is Not There But There Are Others Still There. So Escaping Sin Goes Beyond Making Up One’s Mind Not To Say Anything If Provoked. One Might Not Talk, But What Takes Place On The Inside Is What Matters.

No Man Can Translate From His State Into The State Of God By Himself. He Needs, His Right Hand, His Arm And The Light Of His Countenance to Do So. The Lord’s Right Hand Symbolizes Righteousness.

Romans 1:16-17

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.  For Therein Is The Righteousness Of God Revealed From Faith To Faith: As It Is Written, The Just Shall Live By Faith. 

You Have Not Come To The Place Of The Right Hand Until You Have Entered Into The Gospel Of Christ. Today People Make A Lot Of Assumptions, Claiming Different Things, But A Man Cannot Come To The Place Of The Right Hand Of His Majesty Until He Has Heard The Word Of His Righteousness. You Must Hear First, And After Hearing A While, It Becomes A Song, A Kind Of Life.

God’s Right Hand Is His Righteousness. No One Will Inherit God Without First Possessing His Righteousness. The Righteousness We Received At New Birth Is Not This Righteousness Called The Right Hand. No One Can Come Into This Righteousness Until He Has Come Into Christ And Has Been Sanctified By The Truth.

The Operation Of The Right Hand Is The Operation Of Righteousness That Can Only Be Found In The Gospel Of Christ.

Psalm 44:3; ‘Arm’ Referred To In The Scripture Symbolizes The Operation Of The Spirit. The Hand Works By The Support Of The Arm. It Is The Holy Ghost That Delivers To Us The Gospel Of Christ.

1 Corinthians 2:9-10

But As It Is Written, Eye Hath Not Seen, Nor Ear Heard, Neither Have Entered Into The Heart Of Man, The Things Which God Hath Prepared For Them That Love Him.  But God Hath Revealed [them] Unto Us By His Spirit: For The Spirit Searcheth All Things, Yea, The Deep Things Of God.

There Can Be No Revelation Outside The Spirit. You Cannot Access Anything Of God Outside The Holy Ghost. We Need To Know The Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit Is A Person; He Is God. We Need To Know How To Fellowship With The Spirit.

2 Corinthians 13:14

The Grace Of The Lord Jesus Christ, And The Love Of God, And The Communion Of The Holy Ghost, [be] With You All. Amen.

Interacting With The Holy Ghost Should Not Just Be The Atmosphere Of The Spirit In A Meeting. The Holy Ghost Is A Teacher, He Wants Your Attention And Your Mind Active. Some Of Us Rely So Much On Visions. The Holy Spirit Has So Much Interest In Having Your Attention Because He Must Write Upon Your Mind. Writing Upon Your Mind Takes Place By Teaching.

The Main Reason For Coming To The Holy Spirit Is To Be Fed. Fellowship With The Spirit Must Grow At This Time. Hearing Of The Righteousness That Is In Christ Jesus May Not Profit A Believer Who Does Not Have Vital Fellowship With The Spirit, It Is The Holy Ghost That Broods On What Is Preached. No One Can Access The Light Of God’s Countenance Without The Lamp. The Light Is Symbolic Of The Operation Of The Seven Spirits.

2 Corinthians 4:6

For God, Who Commanded The Light To Shine Out Of Darkness, Hath Shined In Our Hearts, To [give] The Light Of The Knowledge Of The Glory Of God In The Face Of Jesus Christ.

The First Light And The Second Light Mentioned In This Scripture Are Not Exactly The Same. Light Of His Face Has To Do With The Knowledge Of The Glory Of God. The Glory Of God Can Only Be Seen In The Face Of Jesus. God Does Not Give External Stuff As Glory To A Man Who Desires To See His Glory, No Matter How Much He Prays For It.

Colossians 1:19

For It Pleased [the Father] That In Him Should All Fulness Dwell;

No One Can Come To God Without Christ. When You Pray That You Want To See God, The Best They Will First Do Is To Show You A Form Of Jesus. John Saw An Angel Of The Lord And He Fell Down As Though Dead.

Habakkuk 2:14

For The Earth Shall Be Filled With The Knowledge Of The Glory Of The LORD, As The Waters Cover The Sea.

This Is What God Is Working At, Everyone Must Hear. The Lord Will Make The Knowledge Of His Glory So Abundant On The Earth That No Man Will Be Able To Tell The Lord That He Never Heard. The Operation Of The Light Of His Countenance Has To Do With The Knowledge Of The Glory Of God. That Knowledge Can Only Be Found In Christ.

Paul Began To Plant Many Churches And Those Churches Were Doing Well. They Were Doing Well In The Milk Of The Word, Having Faith Towards God And Love For All The Saints. Then He Began To Write To Them In This Regard:

Ephesians 1:15-17

Wherefore I Also, After I Heard Of Your Faith In The Lord Jesus, And Love Unto All The Saints,  Cease Not To Give Thanks For You, Making Mention Of You In My Prayers;  That The God Of Our Lord Jesus Christ, The Father Of Glory, May Give Unto You The Spirit Of Wisdom And Revelation In The Knowledge Of Him: 

There Is A Dimension Of Knowledge You Must Enter To Have The Victory. If You Don’t Have The Victory, You Cannot Obtain The Promise. The Glory Of God Is Not A Physical Sun Shining In Its Full Strength; It’s Nothing Physical In This Life; It Is Knowledge. Any Man That Despise Knowledge Is Simply Despising Face; Such Is Saying I Don’t Want Your Face God.

The Aim Of Hell And Death Is Not Just To Kill Man’s Body, But Also To Give Him Eternal Death; But God Promises Man Eternal Life. Thus, If The Lord Is Coming To Us, Presenting Life To Us, We Must Not Turn From Him. There Is No Way You Can Be Hearing These Words Of Life And Remain The Same. He Will Be Changing, Although Not All At Once. As We Continue Hearing, There Is An Undoing (of The Work Of Sin And Death) That Is Taking Place In Us. We Behave The Way We Do Because Of Laws That Have Been Written In Us. It Is Only God That Has The Power To Undo Those Writings.

1 Corinthians 13:11

When I Was A Child, I Spake As A Child, I Understood As A Child, I Thought As A Child: But When I Became A Man, I Put Away Childish Things.

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.

Behind Sin And Death There Is A Law And Behind The Life That God Wants To Give To Us There Is Also A Law. It Is As You Encounter Christ Jesus That The Law Of The Life Of God Is Written In You.

Romans 8:11

But If The Spirit Of Him That Raised Up Jesus From The Dead Dwell In You, He That Raised Up Christ From The Dead Shall Also Quicken Your Mortal Bodies By His Spirit That Dwelleth In You.

God Knows What He Is Doing By Giving Us Knowledge. No Man Can Access The Knowledge Of Christ That Can Bring Righteousness Of God Without The Operation Of The Seven Spirits.

Revelation 1:4

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; 

Revelation 4:5

And Out Of The Throne Proceeded Lightnings And Thunderings And Voices: And [there Were] Seven Lamps Of Fire Burning Before The Throne, Which Are The Seven Spirits Of God.

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.

Jesus Christ Was A Man Of Seven Spirits; It Was The Seven Spirits That Raised Him. The Lamb Has Horns, They Grew Out Of Him. The Sevens Spirits Raised Christ And They Must Raise Us. Until The Operation Of The Seven Spirit Is Activated In The Life Of A Believer, He Cannot Access Christ. Without Access To That Light, The Work Of Salvation Cannot Begin Within The Soul.

At A Certain Time In Israel, God Spoke To Moses Concerning Building A Tabernacle. The Tabernacle Has Compartments As Follows:

• The Open Space Called The Outer Court. There The Light Of The Sun Is Available. After The New Birth Experience, A Soul Might Still Behave Just As Anybody Will. In This Place, It Is Possible For A Believer To Still Act Like People Of The World.
• Then, Entering The Building Proper Brings One Into A Place Called The Holy Place
• The Third Part Of The Tabernacle Is Called The Most Holy Place.

There Are Three Articles In The Holy Place: A Table Of Shew Bread By The Right, Which Is Symbolic Of Christ The Bread Of Life, The Golden Lampstand, With Seven Burning Lamps, On The Opposite Side; The Third Is The Golden Altar Of Incense. The Oil That Powers The Lamp Is The Holy Ghost, The Lamps Are The Seven Spirits. The Lamp In The Holy Place Must Never Go Out; Else The Place Would Be Dark. If The Place Is Dark, How Can One Feed On The Bread Of Life? A Believer Who Does Not Know The Seven Spirits Is In Darkness. God Has Brought Life And Immortality To Light Through The Gospel.

Don’t Turn Away Or Walk Away From Knowledge Even When You Do Not Get Everything That Is Being Said, Still Do Not Walk Away. The Light Of God Must Shine Upon The Soul Of A Believer For The Work Of Salvation To Be Accomplished.

Psalm 80:3

Turn Us Again, O God, And Cause Thy Face To Shine; And We Shall Be Saved.

Talking Of Salvation Is Not Sufficient, We Must Access What Is Called The Light Of His Face. When You Participate In The Ministry Of The Spiritual Blessings, The Seven Spirits Will Be Activated In Your Life.

It Is Important That One Is Able To Gain Access To Gifts Of Christ That He Has Raised, Particularly Apostolic And Prophetic Ministry. We Access These Gifts Through Conferences And In A Local Church That Is Kingdom Based. There Is None That Is Indispensable, We Should Be Careful In Our Dealings With The Lord. When The Lord Speaks, Please Obey.

One Of The Ways We Can Have Access To The Light Of His Countenance Is To Be Under True Apostolic And Prophetic Ministry. A True Prophet Can Reveal Christ. The Key To The Doctrine Of Christ Is The Administration Of The Seven Spirits.

Psalm 98:1         

O Sing Unto The LORD A New Song; For He Hath Done Marvellous Things: His Right Hand, And His Holy Arm, Hath Gotten Him The Victory.

Pastor Tosin Gabriel

The Ministry Of The Seven Spirits Is Not Clear To The Churches Because The Gospel Of Christ Has Not Been Open Enough To The Churches. There Are Books Of The Gifts Of The Spirit But There Is No Book On The Seven Spirits Of God. In Milk, Gifts Of The Spirit Are Part Of Our Curriculum But When We Move To The Meat Of The Word, The Seven Spirits Must Be Clear To Us.

Revelation 1:4

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;

The Word ‘are’ Is Used To Describe The Seven Spirits In This Passage, Which Means They Are Plural. There Are Seven Spirits. There Is The Holy Spirit But There Are Seven Spirits Which Are Before The Throne Of God.

Revelation 4:5

And Out Of The Throne Proceeded Lightnings And Thunderings And Voices: And There Were Seven Lamps Of Fire Burning Before The Throne, Which Are The Seven Spirits Of God.

The Seven Lamps Burning Before The Throne Are The Seven Spirits Of God. (Rev 5:1-6). Jesus Christ Is The Lamb. Rev 5:6 Is The Fulfillment Of Isaiah 11. Jesus Christ Possesses The Seven Spirits; He Has Seven Horns And Seven Eyes. The Seven Spirits Were Sent To All The Earth For The Purpose Of Raising Men The Same Way He Was Raised.

Isaiah 11:1-3

And There Shall Come Forth A Rod Out Of The Stem Of Jesse, And A Branch Shall Grow Out Of His Roots: And The Spirit Of The LORD Shall Rest Upon Him, The Spirit Of Wisdom And Understanding, The Spirit Of Counsel And Might, The Spirit Of Knowledge And Of The Fear Of The LORD;  And Shall Make Him Of Quick Understanding In The Fear Of The LORD: And He Shall Not Judge After The Sight Of His Eyes, Neither Reprove After The Hearing Of His Ears:

The Prophecy Was For A Man From Judah, Jesse’s Descendant; He Will Be The One To Carry The Seven Spirits. The Seven Spirits Are Mentioned In Verse 2. Quick Understanding Comes By The Administration Of The Seven Spirits. A Man Cannot Comprehend The Things Of God Except The Seven Spirits Quickens Him. These Are The Seven Spirits That Raised Jesus Up; They Worked On Him, Raised Him Up And Brought Him To The Throne. They Have Been Sent To The Earth To Raise Us Up And Bring Us To The Throne. If You Feed On Milk Properly, Your Measure Of Growth Will Be Measured By Your Faith In The Lord Jesus And Your Love For All The Saints.

1 Corinthians 3:1-4

And I, Brethren, Could Not Speak Unto You As Unto Spiritual, But As Unto Carnal, Even As Unto Babes In Christ.  I Have Fed You With Milk, And Not With Meat: For Hitherto Ye Were Not Able To Bear It, Neither Yet Now Are Ye Able.  For Ye Are Yet Carnal: For Whereas There Is Among You Envying, And Strife, And Divisions, Are Ye Not Carnal, And Walk As Men?  For While One Saith, I Am Of Paul; And Another, I Am Of Apollos; Are Ye Not Carnal?

Milk Didn’t Bring Them To Love For All The Saints, They Were Carnal And Didn’t Pass The Test Of Milk, So Paul Said He Could Not Give Them Meat Yet. If You Don’t Have Love For All The Saints It Means Milk Has Not Profited You.

Ephesians 1:15-18

Wherefore I Also, After I Heard Of Your Faith In The Lord Jesus, And Love Unto All The Saints,  Cease Not To Give Thanks For You, Making Mention Of You In My Prayers;  That The God Of Our Lord Jesus Christ, The Father Of Glory, May Give Unto You The Spirit Of Wisdom And Revelation In The Knowledge Of Him:  The Eyes Of Your Understanding Being Enlightened; That Ye May Know What Is The Hope Of His Calling, And What The Riches Of The Glory Of His Inheritance In The Saints,

This Church Is Ready For The Doctrine Of Christ; They Have Used Milk Well So Paul Began To Pray For Them For The Seven Spirits To Work In Them. This Church Has Been Born Again For At Least 5 Years But The Eyes Of Their Understanding Had Not Being Enlightened. It Is Possible To Be Born Again And Not Be Enlightened, Not Knowing The Hope Of God’s Calling. No Seven Spirits, No Fellowship With Christ. You Need To Fellowship With Churches That Fellowship With Seven Spirits.
