Message starts.
(Zech. 8:3-5) – “Thus saith the LORD; I am returned unto Zion, and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and Jerusalem shall be called a city of truth; and the mountain of the LORD of hosts the holy mountain. 4 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; There shall yet old men and old women dwell in the streets of Jerusalem, and every man with his staff in his hand for very age. 5 And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in the streets thereof.”
God needs to return to Zion but Zion can be without God returning, and that’s because there is not enough capacity for His return. Zion is the native country of every redeemed of the Lord, however, many believers are still among the heathen and have not returned to their country which is Zion (Isa. 55:11). Take for instance, it took God to kill the firstborn of Egypt (land of the heathen or a strange land) to bring Israel, His first born, out of there.
God has a program of rest for His people and every time we remain in disobedience, we cannot come into this rest. The land of Israel is not an ordinary land, it is the land of promise. There is a way we ought to live to access the promises in this land. The children of Israel did not know how to access the promise. One of the promises in the land is rest unto our souls (Heb. 4:1-11). Any man who comes into this land must live according to the spiritual ethics of the land else it will devour a man like it did the Israelites who did abominable things which were against the laws of the land (Num. 13:32).
(2 John 1:7-9) – “For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. 8 Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward. 9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.”
To have God, we must have come into the place of abiding. The foundation for abiding is faith, hope and charity which is Christ. (1 Cor. 3:11-13) God expects our work to abide. This abiding work has its foundation (Christ). A man can become an abiding work of God. This is the man that can stand in God’s holy place (Psa. 24:1-3).
(Eph 2:19-20) – “Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God; 20 and are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;”
The Apostles are not the foundation rather they are to lay the foundation according to the pattern that God has laid in the Spirit. The materials for our building are in Zion to make us compatible with our land of nativity which is Zion. (Psalms 87:1-2) The foundation of God is laid upon Zion. (Eph 2:19-22; 3:1-4) We are being built to become a holy temple and then a habitation of God and finally to be fellow citizens with the saints, that is, a legitimate citizen of the household of God. However, as believers, if we are not built up, we can remain foreigners and strangers to the household of God. (Col. 1:21) – “And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled.” What makes us remain a stranger/alien is the enmity in our heart which has to be removed by being reconciled to God in our hearts. This enmity is not removed by prayers.
Jesus wants us to be citizens, to be part of His household, to be built up a holy temple in Him because He is the foundation and the cornerstone which is a central pillar in the house of God, that is, Jesus is the one that walls are built around. He holds everything together.
God’s salvation plan for men follows a step by step process. God took the nation Israel with the hope to eventually save all (Eph. 3:1-6). The Gentiles are also to be fellow citizens/heirs of the body or household of God. This is why Apostle Paul was imprisoned, to raise men who will be fellow citizens or heirs of God. This is why we must honour men who are imprisoned for our sake. They are imprisoned so we can have access to inheritance and not pass away without inheritance. (Eph 3:2) Pastors are God’s servants to serve us and they must be honoured.
(Eph 4:7-8; 4:11-13) – ‘Us’ here are not all members of the body of Christ but the Apostles and other servants of God. What makes up an Apostle is the gift of Christ & God. The gifts of God are not speaking in tongues and prophecies but rather the measures of His life – Christ, Everlasting (Living & Abiding) Life and Eternal Life and they are without repentance.
(Rom. 11:29; Phil. 3:14) The calling of God hangs over every man who has become Christ. God wants to give His gift or His life to such a man. We determine how far we want to go in this calling or to receive the gifts.
We can’t access the gift of God without first accepting the gift of Christ. Christ gives Himself in measures so there are measures in the gift of Christ. We should also note that the Holy Ghost has measures too. Just as we have the gift of God and the gift of Christ, the Holy Ghost also has His gifts (Heb. 2:4). These gifts are not the nine gifts but rather they are doctrines – (Matt. 28:18-19) – “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:”.
Baptizing them is not a one-off experience as in Matt. 3:1. The former means a baptism that is continuous, that is, a teaching that is continuous to immerse a people into the Father, into the Son, and into the Holy Ghost. The Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost are inheritances to be absorbed just as Jesus absorbed these three into Himself (John 14:9). There was a process Jesus followed to absorb the Father into Himself.
At new birth, the Holy Ghost becomes resident in our spirit but not yet in our soul. The essence of the teaching of the milk of the word is to receive the seal of the Holy Ghost. That is, to take our soul through the first initial conversion of the soul. This is for a profiting that occurs within.
(1 Cor. 12:7) – “But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.”
There is the profiting withal and within. The nine gifts of the Holy Ghost are to profit withal and they profit us nothing meaning they do nothing to change our soul from its current fallen or sinful state. They are tools we use however they don’t add to our persons. This is why God does not want us to glory in them. God is not a task master that wants to use people but rather wants to make us better and to increase within. One of the gifts of the Holy Ghost is the office of Christ. Through the Holyghost, we are led and dealt with and given measures of the gift of Christ as we yield in obedience.
(Eph. 3:2) Men are given different dispensations: dispensation of the Holy Ghost or of Christ. For instance, Rev Hagin was given the dispensation of the Holy Ghost and Apostle Paul the dispensation of Christ. This is why we must not despise our ministers who are sent to us because God knows the people He sends His ministers to. God will not send a minister with the dispensation of Christ to everyone. We must discern the grace of God on His ministers and why they are brought to us. It is foolish to compare ourselves with others because God knows every sheep and every fold.
There are different sheeps and different folds according to God’s wisdom of shepherding. (John 10:16) – “And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.” All God’s sheep are not in one fold. There are folds that are a preparation to come into this ‘one fold’. The sheep of God already a part of the ‘one fold’ are His sheep whose work is to continually hear the voice of Jesus but there are other sheep who are not ready to hear His voice yet. For these ones, there is a different allocation for them to make them ready.
(Acts 22:14-15) There are different operations God uses in raising us. The mouth of God is higher than His hand in operation. While some sheepfold may be ready for the mouth operation, another sheepfold might only want the hand operation i.e the miraculous e.t.c. The operation of the face of God is higher than the operation of the mouth of God. (Col. 1:25) There are different dispensations of God. All through the epistles, we see Paul pray prayers for the church to progress into new dispensations. In Ephesians, Paul brought to them the dispensation of the word of Christ, while in Colossians, we see him bringing the dispensation of the word of God to them. We need to know what dispensation God is dispensing to us per time.
When we don’t follow properly and discern men God has placed over us, dispensations can change over them yet the dispensation over us remains the same. This is why we see many eventually leave the church.
3rd Tongues & Interpretation
I am the one who fills all things.
I have measures, dispensations and allocations.
I fill all things.
I spread abroad, but my goal is to bring you to the center of that which I am working upon the earth which is salvation.
So I wink at many, I wink unto the point of turning to the centre, of turning to the core, of turning to the point of actual dealing in my heart to bring many to my fullness.
Ye! I fill all things.
I am urging to draw many, that you move, and journey and transit from meal to meal.
There is is that which I give those who are beholding my face, and that which are give those hearing the voice of my mouth, and also of them who are receiving the things of my hand but there is that of my fullness and you can only move as I am beckoning.
So I am beckoning and calling again.
You cannot orchestrate your movement, I need to gather.
I am bringing from fold to fold, from sheep to sheep.
I am turning from vessel to vessel to bring you to the centre of that which I am working.
I will raise men with truth, I will raise men who will be true and I will raise men who will be enduring unto eternal.
So, do not remain in your estate, desire to move from allocation to allocation and I will bring it.
For indeed, it’s one fold, it’s supposed to be one fold.
Don’t be left behind, the time is ticking.
Desire to be at the core of that which I am doing.

The reason why there are different folds is because of the heart responses of men. God’s children don’t have the same heart response to God. The fold is created to give to every sheep what they can take per time because God knows what allocations of Himself we can take per time. We should know what fold we belong to and not compare ourselves with those of another fold or complain of how differently the Lord is dealing with us.
(Col 2:1-2) Apostles have different materials given to them. Some do not only have the materials for the foundation (Christ) but the materials for the holy temple of God and the habitation of God, and some apostles have only the materials of the Holy Ghost.
There’s a difference between a man that has an office (five-fold ministry) and a man that only has the gift of the Holy Spirit. Likewise, there is a difference in dispensation handled by those in the five fold ministry (1Cor 12:4-6). So prophets differ from prophets; apostles differ from apostles; teachers differ from teachers; pastors differ from pastors, all because of the dispensation given to them. (Rom. 2:20; 16:7) Thus, there are apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers of babes just as we have teachers in different grades in the natural (i.e teachers in nursery, primary, secondary, and tertiary institution).
(Eph.3:8) We see that there was an allocation or grace given to Apostle Paul that other Apostles did not have. 2 Pet 3:15-16 shows us that there are people that are unlearned and unstable though they are brethren, sometimes, even pastors but yet do not have capacity to process some allocations in God. In a nutshell, there are different dispensations and we must not settle for less in the dispensation given to us. There is room for continuous growth and evolving into all of God’s allocations.
(Col 2:1-2) Mystery means hidden truths/hidden secrets. The acknowledgement of the mystery of the God, and of the Father, and of Christ talks about the acknowledgement of the hidden truth of God, the Father, and of Christ. Every mystery requires that it is opened up or revealed. God desires for us to come into full assurance of understanding of these things.
(Eph 3:4) “Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ” The mysteries in God custodes and gives knowledge. Knowledge is the doorway to those mysteries/secrets. (Luke 11:52) It is possible for us to have the (key of) knowledge but not access to the secrets in these mysteries. This is because God will not cast His costly pearls to swines. Whosoever is not interested in their secrets can have knowledge but will never gain access to the secrets of their persons. Only lovers of knowledge and of their persons can venture into the world of hidden truths. The good news is that unto us, it has been given to know the mystery of the kingdom (Matt. 13:11).
In the garden of Eden, the tree of knowledge of good and evil also has its secrets; it opens a man’s eyes to knowledge and that he shall be as God and by this, he shall know good and evil (Gen. 3:5). It is the knowledge of this tree that began to instruct and gave them a new understanding (a different eyes to see).
(Eph. 1:17-18) – “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: 18 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,”
Every wisdom and knowledge we claim to receive from God ought to direct us towards and not away from Him. Our eyes need to be opened to understand mysteries, if we remain blind, we won’t be able to understand these mysteries. The truth is we don’t know what these mysteries are, we need to have knowledge to know them. God’s secrets are not what a man can find by himself; this is because of a lack of judgment or discernment to tell even when we find secrets of God. God’s secrets are not what men value.
The mysteries of God are not within the thought realm of men, they are beyond the range of man’s thinking – Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think (Eph.3:20). This is why we need the aid of knowledge to bring it to our awareness and consciousness – Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ (Eph. 3:4).
The world of mystery is the world of the unknown. The only tool to come into the awareness of the mystery is revelation. Many complain about too much teachings on revelation not knowing this is the tool or doorway to access understanding of the mysteries in God. We should not complain when revelation is given to us consistently.
The realm of Eternal is the realm of ONLY. Only here means He alone holds the knowledge and secret of Eternal life. This life is exclusive to God but the good news is that God wants to give to us that which is exclusive to God. If you are not a god (i.e bear the image of the Only True God), you don’t have Eternal life.
The stature of the Only True God has no other realms of gods competing with Him. Eternal life remains an uncreated life. The Eternal God is not a creator. Immediately He begins to create, He ceases to be called Eternal but Everlasting. The Everlasting God is both Living & True; it is the Living aspect of Him that creates, the True is not involved in creation. God steps down into His living essence when He wants to create. The Eternal and True God are uncreated life and uncreated beings. They are self emergent life.
(1 John 3:9) Men who have the seed of God do not sin. To come into the fullness of God, the True light must shine upon the seed of God in them.
Jesus is the beginning of the creation of the Living God, He is the pattern of what the Living God creates. Adam is of the former creation (Isa. 43:18). (Isa. 40:28-31) The Everlasting God who is the Living God and the creator of the ends of the earth wants to come and work on desolations in man’s souls and to make them new. This is the revelation of the salvation of God. (Psa. 74:10-12) Salvation is the working or living God in the midst of the earth restoring and rebuilding men.
Earth is either fallen earth (flesh) or new earth (Christ). At the revelation of the Everlasting king, our earth (whether carnal/flesh or spiritual/Christ) is shaken to heave us up.
The revelation of the Lord is in two ways: the revelation of the Lord as a day and the revelation of the Lord as a Year. (2 Pet. 3:10) Christ is the revelation of the day of the Lord in the night (sanctuary) and He comes with revelation to deal with our lusts. The Living God and True God do not come in the night. The beginning of the Living God is in the sanctuary and ends in the most holy place.
There’s a way the divisions of God are calibrated just like the human body. It is good to note that another word for Eternal life is Godhead. The neck is the True God. From the shoulders to the arms are everlasting. So what went to Egypt to go get His first born is God’s outstretched hand. Thus, it is the everlasting King that fought Pharaoh.
(Col. 2:19) Growing into God starts from our walk of faith. Similar to the growth of a child, growth starts with the stretching of the feet and not the head in the spirit. No man starts his growth from eternal life (Godhead).
(Heb. 13:13, 1 Cor. 3:1-2) Bearing his reproach is allowing the activity of the cross to work upon us, denying flesh and the works of the flesh. Every believer starts from being a babe in Christ (i.e our journey starts from withal the camp. As we journey from withal/outside the camp into the camp, we become a child in Christ. A child is one who has overcome works of the flesh, he/she has attained a level of purification.
Withal the camp is not our place of rest. Staying here or refusing to journey away from there destroys us. (Isa. 52:11) We must quickly drop works of the flesh and depart from it.
The milk aspect of the mystery of Christ is the answer to dealing with the works of the flesh in us. (1 Pet. 2:2-3) Likewise, the everlasting king who is the sincere milk aspect of God will make us a lively stone. He comes to the sanctuary to do this work. No man can come to God without Him first coming to us to work on us (1 Tim. 6:16). This coming is the coming of a mighty hand. The year of the Lord takes care of our journey from withal the camp into the sanctuary (our night) until the day of the Lord comes (1 Thes. 5:1-4). We have to receive the day of the Lord into our night.
(2 Cor. 6:2) The day of the Lord accepted time that climaxes into the year of the Lord (acceptable year of the Lord). This begins by the visitation of the king of glory and His mighty hand that can save (Psa. 24:5). Salvation starts with the mighty hand of God but it should climax to the face of the Lord and the True God is the face of the Lord. We must be able to understand and trace the progressive salvation of God from His hand, to His arms to His face (Rev. 5 – Rev. 10).
In a nutshell, to have Eternal life is for our soul to hold the head of God and to hold the Godhead is to hold what controls everything (John 5:19). Jesus said that He can do nothing by Himself and that’s because He is being controlled. Thus, Eternal life controls the True God, the Everlasting King and the Living God.
Eternal life is a life that takes you over. It is not a life we can say we have but rather Eternal life has us. Likewise, Christ can have you as a person (Gal 2:20). Like Apostle Paul, we can live by the laws of Christ. This is how Christ takes a person. We need to have the fullness of Christ, the Living God, the True God and Eternal life dwelling/living in us (Col. 2:9-10).
