*Rev Chris Oyakhilome DSC DD*
The last words of an important man on an important mission who is preparing to die are very important.
Everything that Jesus said are important but when you are talking about a man's last words, often they include certain instructions and those last words have a way of connecting the dots of his lifetime.
Matt 28:16-
They were 12 disciples but one betrayed the master so then there were 11 of them left at this point.
Some of them doubted. Not just Thomas this time. These men has been with God. They saw Him crucified. Not the general crowd. From scriptures it's some of the eleven.
Why didn't Jesus use His power to stop them from doubting? It doesn't work that way. He will never take away your doubt. You are the one to take away your doubt.
Rom 10:10.
Matt 28:18-20
Do you know somebody throughout history who ever has power both I'm heaven and the earth?
We know Great and powerful men in the earth throughout history, but their powers were limited to the earth. But Jesus said He has power in heaven and in earth.
Who gave Him that power? Whoever gave him that power must have everything.
Son of God means God in flesh. You need to understand why Jesus said He was the Son of God and why it made the Jews mad. Son of God means God manifest in flesh.
The Jews understood him and that's why they called Him blasphemous.
I want you to understand the significance of Jesus' Words.
If He's truly God, then what He says it's true.
Because it's He's God, then He can be in heaven and in earth and claim that all power in heaven and earth belongs to Him. If it's true, then He's surely God.
Here's a beautiful statement from Jesus: All authority in heaven and earth is given unto me.
Go ye therefore: meaning in the basis of this authority, go!
Nations in the greek is Ethnos, which means all tribes. So you can seize and group and teach them.
In the Name, not in the names. In the book of Acts, we find that name is Jesus.
What does God want is to teach them?
Teaching them to observe so things I have commanded you: everything He asked the apostles to do, He asked us to do.
Lo! I am with you:
Lo means assuredly! Did you notice, that's not a promise? I will be with you is a promise. He said I am with you.
We're talking about His last words. Can you take Him at His words?
Always: this is about the integrity of His Word. Can he be trusted?
Practice taking His Words as simply as He said them.
If Jesus appeared to you, your faith in Him so be the same thing.
Jesus told His disciples that he would be killed and He would rise again. They were used to bring their dead and moving on but they must have promised to have more faith if Jesus truly rust up, but He rose up and they doubted.
Your faith will never come by an experience. The Bible says Faith comes by Hearing and hearing by The Word of God.
Jesus said a he is with you, take Him by His Words! So you speak in consonance. Always say "He's with me". Because He is with you. That is springs in your steps because the One who really counts is with you. How could I ever be frustrated or discouraged when The One who counts is with me.
Some people don't trust God so they try to package their own lives in case He fails.
Hebrews 13:7
Conversation there means 'manner of life'.
HEB 6:12 (KJV and AMPC&MSG)
Follow those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
You're not just following anybody just because he's a brother in the house or a sister in the house.
MSG - Be like those who stay the course with committed faith and then get everything promised to them.
Copy them. Don't be proud, especially if they are excelling in something you're not excelling in. He expects us to learn from one another. That's where the unity comes from. Their testimonies should inspire you.
Unto the end of the age: proof positive that he wasn't referring to them alone. They were not even going to see the end of the age. But we are the ones that have been chosen to see the end of the age (Hallelujah).
He has brought us deathlessness, agelessness fearlessness and wantlessness.
The Bible says He's able to make all grace abound unto you.
Ever increasing grace. He makes all grace abound towards me..I'm divinely favoured. All favour is directed towards me. Become favor conscious.
Refuse to fear!!!!!!!
When you walk with God, you walk in His Love.
1 John 4:16-
This verse (vs 16) is an encapsulation on John's revelation of the Pauline doctrine.
There is no fear in love. There's no room for fear when you're walking in Christ.
Mark 16:14
We're talking His last words. What do they mean to you?
Jesus rebuked them for their unbelief. He reprimanded their doubt.
Vs 15- the day this scripture opened up to me, I knew my life had changed.
Romans 8:16-28
There's a difference between co-heirship and joint heirship.
We share his authority, seat, power and dominion with Him. This is extra-ordinary.
What is His purpose? That all creation be brought into the glorious liberty of the Son of God.
All creation in man's world is in captivity but it's not so I'm God's world.
For example: Jesus talked to bread, fish (not even live fish, fish that was ready to be eaten), they answered him. Jesus talked to weak limbs and dead bodies.
There is a liberty in Christ and Jesus demonstrated that liberty. In Jesus nothing is dead.
Jesus told Moses to 'Tell the rock to give you water'.
Moses was distracted by anger and struck the rock. Jesus told him that the rock represented Jesus. In Jesus, everything is alive because the whole creation was subject to vanity in hope that when The Son comes He will bring liberty.
If you ever catch what I just shared with you....
🎶We are heirs of the Father
We are joint heirs with the Son
We are children of the Kingdom
We are family
We are one.🎶
I want to give you a different version that makes demons mad.
🎶We are heirs of the Father
We are joint heirs with the Son
We are children of the Kingdom
We are creators
We are gods.🎶
We bring things out of nothing.
We can bring water out of a rock.
Can you shout Amen somebody.
There are some testimonies that if I share with you, you'll think it's magic. It's not magic, it's what I just shared with you. The Ernest expectation if the creature waits for the manifestation of the Sons of God.
It's time to turn water into wine, it's time to cure cancer.
Many of us pray too much and forget who we are. I'm not ordinary.
I belong in the Kingdom.
Did you not read it in the Bible? Jesus said this one thing I have received of my Father, He gave me power to lay down my life and to take it back again. Paul the apostle said, I have fought the good fight, I have finished my race.
You have authority over your body. He has given you power over your body. Banish symptoms. No one can take away your body from you except you choose to lay it down of your own accord.
There has to be a part 2 of this sermon some other time because I've not reached half of my discussion.
