Meeting: Sunday Service
Minister: Pastor Laide Olaniyan
A great year is upon us and certain events are already happening upon the face of the earth. Things concerning the end are getting clearer. The beginning of the end was Jesus’ era but we are getting to the end of the end. The Lord wants to wrap up things and we must be discerning now much more than ever before. The Lord does not want us to play church and perpetuate forever, we are to fulfil a course and unleash another work and that work is already crystallising.
“But he answered them, “You see all these, do you not? Truly, I say to you, there will not be left here one stone upon another that will not be thrown down.” As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?” And Jesus answered them, “See that no one leads you astray. For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and they will lead many astray. And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for this must take place, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are but the beginning of the birth pains. “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations for my name’s sake” – (Matthew 24:2-9).
Some incidents would characterise the things of the end and if we are delusional, we would misinterpret them for other things. Our entrance into God’s kingdom will be in the midst of tribulation. Some appearances would not come until persecution comes. Those persecutions are not against us but for us.
Persecution is part of the arrangement for appearance. In a season of persecution for our entrance, we are not to unduly allow Satan without boundaries. That persecutions are coming doesn’t mean we should not pray to God for deliverance from them because Satan will always want to take things further than God ordained it. We must discern the limit to which God wants His things to be done. This is why we must be full of all prayers so we can allow what God allows, if not we would stand as an enemy of what God wants. We must be full of wisdom, judgement and discernment.
But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life (Mark 10:30) – There are comings of the Lord that would not come until we are in a season of persecution. Part of the blessings of increase is with persecution.
“And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another” (Matthew 24:10) – When the Lord emphasises the need for fervent charity, it is because there will come a season of great offense and hate for another but as we obey the commandments of love our eyes get clearer. As we obey commandments, our eyes will be opened. Every obedience clears and opens our eyes further and further – “12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.” (1 Corinthians 13:12). In obeying the Lord, judgement is given to see even more clearly. What would cause our hearts to forsake the brethren in any season is because we have not kept the love commandment.
“And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren! For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother” (Matthew 12:49-50).
The oath of brotherhood is charity. Because some people have not kept some ordinances of faith, betrayal would come. Some people would break the oath of brotherhood because they have not kept charity commandments so therefore, we ought to guard our place. The way we would guard our place, keep from offences and secure our lot in the things of this life is to pray. It is a sign of faith when we choose to remain in this bond of charity. Prayer is a sign of faith that you don’t want to let go.
“Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come. Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall” (1 Corinthians 10:11-12) – Winds would blow this year because the kingdom is coming. We need to watch unto prayers. Keep your feet by praying, stay in the love of Jesus. “7 But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.” (1 Peter 4:7) “18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; 19 And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel.” (Ephesians 6:18-19).
“And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold” (Matthew 24:11-12).
False prophets in the scriptures are not herbalists but those who have handled Truth. A person can’t be false until he or she has tasted the Truth. If we don’t want to be stale, we need to grow so that darkness doesn’t catch up with our souls. It is time to seriously engage light, it is time to seriously walk in obedience. The reason why iniquity would abound is because another (JESUS) is coming.
The season we are in is the season of the appearing and coming of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ – “13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ.” (Titus 2:13). The coming of the Lord is salvation.
One thing we must note is that Salvation is not for those who want to enjoy things but for those who are willing to endure. Endurance is a sign of faith, and an ability to tarry with the Lord. One of the places that faith is demonstrated is in our ability to continue in prayer not because it is favourable but because the answer has not come to us.
1st Tongues and Interpretation
Pray and fast with expectation in your heart
Let this expectation drive you in this season.
Enter into your closet with expectation
For this year shall be characterised with great answers to your prayers
Even heart longing
Even lack of understanding that has been prolonged for so long.
For heaven is opened to answer you
You need to seek me
You need to seek me with all your heart.
I want all of your heart and not some of your heart
And the reason why I have called you is to have your heart
For heaven is ready to answer
For there shall be a quick answer to the longing of your heart for heaven wants to kiss the earth.
I want you to watch, I want you to stay.
I want a heart that is seeking, not a heart that would pass away.
I want a heart that is persevering even in the place of prayer
I don’t want you to abort the process half way
I want you to stay to the end
I want you to endure to the end
For there is answer even at the end
I want you to knock, don’t just ask, knock at the door.
I want you to progress from asking to knocking
And I would answer your prayer
2nd Tongues and Interpretation
Many of you by the reason of your perseverance and endurance in this season –
would have encounters with angels and ministering spirits.
It is the desire of heaven for many to have encounters in this season.
Many of you would break into light in this season by the help of these ministering spirits
Many of you would break into gifts of the spirit
Many would break into understanding of scriptures even by the help of these ministering spirits
It would be too clear to you.
There is help around you
You have to endure in this season
You need to stretch beyond your limit
Heaven wants to show you greater things
Many need to stretch beyond their capacity to receive what heaven has for them
You need to stretch beyond the strength you had last year for to receive greater and mighty things – and for many to be a breakthrough into light and understanding,
There would be a breakthrough into what you have been hearing
But you need to stretch into anticipation of that which heaven has for you
Tell yourself, I would stretch beyond for grace has been made available
Do not limit what heaven wants to bring upon you
There is allocation of heaven upon those that wait in the place of prayer but you need to stretch.
Message Continues..
“And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other” (Matthew 24:31).
“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” (2 Corinthians 5:2 – 4).
People would journey out of the earth. Earth here is nakedness. As many as have the image of earth, they are yet still naked. The real clothing we must groan for is to be clothed with heaven. Heaven here means or signifies a nature not location. We must let our burden be for heaven.
(1 Corinthians 15:50-55) – “50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. 51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. 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. 55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?”
Mortality or corruption is not just flesh and blood or referring to our body and life here but what makes us susceptible to death. Jesus when he was glorified had a body that the law of sin and death had been removed from. What they want to do is remove mortality not just in our body but also in our soul such that the soul is incapable of being subject to death.
There is an ordination upon the church such that a time will come that some group of people by reason of appearances of our Lord will come into a state in their soul where death will have no power over their soul. Grave in scriptures is not being put into the ground after death. Grave is the house of death and God is going to break the power of the grave and death through resurrection. Resurrection is appearance not His appearance but our appearance borne from His appearing to us. Resurrection is our appearance.
A time is coming in the not-so-distant future when our burden will be heaven, we will have touched the realities of heaven. Heaven will have become our conversation, our truth, our life.
