SEASON 7, PHASE7, DAY 1
16TH AUGUST, 2023
REV CHRIS OYAKHILOME DSC DSC DD
I want to welcome you to today's program. It's a very special one
It's very unique because the final day of this phase, will be the 200th episode of YLWS. Really amazing! Everything arranged by God. How could we have planned that?
Knowing that some phases were 3 days, some 5, some 7...
It was done by God.
Before we go into today's very special discussion, I want us to watch a short documentary on why many are sick.. especially children.
(Why children get sick video play out)
If you thought Big Pharma was helping to cure disease, you were wrong. Their main job is disease maintenance and symptom management. Very sad.
The last few words you heard in that documentary is that God has given us a different kind of life. Every christian needs to know what it is to be a Christian. It is not a religion. In the world, they think it is, but it's not. There are things in Christianity that religions practice but that doesn't make it a religion.
For example, we pray, we have acts of worship, we have a code of conduct... But all that is nothing compared to the actual meaning/doctrine of Christianity.
When you become a Christian, you haven't joined a religion. You haven't become religious.
In Christianity, there's a little bit of what the Bible describes as religion.
Pure religion is visiting the fatherless and helping the needy.
Real authentic Christianity is not religion.
So what is it?
You have to understand what Jesus came to do.
What did Jesus come to do?
Did He accomplish what he came to do?
He didn't come to start a new religion. There were already many religions when Jesus came.
So why would the world have needed another religion?
He didn't come to start another religion.
John 10:10
"More abundantly" means to the full.
Jesus came so we would have life to the full.
That statement is clothed with such words that require further explanation.
You can't just explain those things with your assumptions. You have to go further into the scriptures. What else did Jesus say about life? (So that you would understand the kind of life he was talking about).
Whatever life he is talking about was not the biological life they were already living.
John 5:26
He claims here to independently have the same life as the Father. The Father authorized the son to have life in himself independently. Inherent life. Life like the Father.
That's the mystery of the God nature.
Who is Jesus? Jesus is God in the flesh.
Eternal life (the life of almighty God,) is in his son.
Jesus has the divine life. God's life. He came to give us the same life with God.
That emphatically declared that he came to make us children of God. He came to birth a family.
There's a verse that captures this beautiful thought.
Ephesians 3:14-15 KJV, NIV1984
The NIV has the best translation for this particular verse.
Here is a description of the spiritual kingdom of God.
Mark 1:14-15
Jesus came, announcing/preaching the good news of the kingdom of God.
You can interpret "the kingdom of God is at hand" in 2 ways.
1, it's near. 2, it's here.
But John put the two together.. 'it is near at hand'... Meaning it's so close to you, not in the future.
Matthew 12:26-28
They said he was casting out devils by Beelzebub (prince of devils). They accused him of using the devils powers.
V28- That's a sign that the kingdom of God has come to you.
Jesus brought the kingdom.
In talking about the kingdom of God, you have to understand the picture he presents.
First, there is a future kingdom: when Jesus sets up a kingdom in Israel to rule this world.
But the first thing he brought to them was the spiritual kingdom, and the spiritual kingdom is the spiritual community that he www setting up and with that community He will run the world when He comes to this earth to establish the kingdom of God.
