I am here as a converter of many hearts.

I will heal many for the healing of the nation.

Saith the Lord.

Message begins..

There is the activity of gross darkness on earth. (Isa. 60:2a) — For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: — Darkness covering the earth is to prepare the way for gross darkness, just as Christ, as light, prepares the way for the season of glory or of Everlasting life.

Unconsciously, people here in Nigeria are already at home with wicked works, what many will call wickedness, because a lot of people don’t have the strength to fight against what is in the air. Wickedness has been institutionalized in an unusual measure in the fabric of this nation. The only two institutions that have an answer to it are the church and the family, and these are the two institutions that satan fights the most right from Eden.

We thank God for how He has been helping families and how He wants to infiltrate the church, so that these two institutions can rise as pillars on the earth to push back the assault of darkness and gross darkness. Many can’t even see that change can come to our nation, that righteousness can return to our nation due to the covering cast over our nation.

How did gross darkness get to the air? Once upon a time, there wasn’t gross darkness on the earth. Once upon a time, wickedness had not been institutionalized, just as righteousness had not been institutionalized. God wanted to do it in Adam, but it eventually took God about 4000 years before He could institutionalize righteousness in a man. It took close to a millennium or centuries for gross darkness to be institutionalized in nations (Genesis 4-6).

(Gen. 6:5) – “And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 6 And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.” – We must check our heart’s response to the current state of our nation – is it similar to God’s response, is our heart grieved? We see Jesus’ response during His time on earth when He took the whip and overthrew tables; He could not control His passion for righteousness (Matt. 21:12, Mark 11:15-17). The reason certain things aren’t grievous to us yet is that we haven’t loved what God loves.

If we want to be serious with the Lord and want the Lord to be who He wants to be with us, we must take our personal prayer life seriously. NLWC Ikorodu church must become a military base in the Spirit. The transactions that go on in our corporate and individual lives should be felt in Ikorodu, which is why we have the kind of light we have and such apostolic visits, because this church is apostolic by calling.

Right now, men don’t have faith for change; they can’t see beyond what has been institutionalized. This tells us that our air has been tampered with. As a result of a particular covering cast that has been lowered, we can find the healing of the soul in our air and community of the word of righteousness, similar to when the time of the healing move was in the air.

(Heb. 1:8) – “Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.”

Love is a particular kind of passion. Just like the love of iniquity has made the imagination and thoughts of men evil continually, so should the thoughts of our hearts be good continually, for us to say we love righteousness. This was the good report that came from the blood of Jesus, who had an everlasting covenant with God and kept it. This is the good report that God wanted from Adam, from the seven churches, and now from us who are hearing everlasting things. Anybody who wants to stand before God and doesn’t have this report, God will show him/her that a man of like passion, that is, the man Christ Jesus, went through what we went through and ended up loving righteousness and hating iniquity. All who will stand in heaven will be men who have loved righteousness and hated iniquity.

Jesus at the age of 12 and Jesus at Jordan had not yet earned this report. He was being fathered to come to a place where God will now be His God (Heb. 1:9). He also needed to be baptised into the three names.

(Matt. 28:19-20) – “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.”

The three names have their commandments. When the names are being unveiled, how heaven knows we are being sincere is in how we keep the commandments they give. God’s relationship with man is traced to how we handle the commandments we are given. We are where we are in the spirit because of the commandments that we have kept and have not kept. There is nothing new God will do concerning His relationship with man. The measure of grace we enjoy or come into is reflected in the commandments we keep. Our parents are a blessing to us because of their attitude to commandment and how much of God’s commandments they have kept/obeyed and are still keeping/obeying. David was a man after God’s heart because of how he related to God’s commandments.

God has archived commandments for different phases of our lives. Some say they are waiting for God, but God is actually waiting on us to archive conversations through commandment for the different seasons of our lives. The current state of Nigeria is a reflection of how the church has handled commandments, and children born and unborn will suffer for what we did and did not do.

(Matt. 28:19-20) “Things” in the New Testament are conversations/deeds that, when put together, are called good works. Holy Ghost also has His good works. Every good work we will do is a function of how easily the Holy Ghost, the Son, and the Father can lead us. Every commandment wants to do in our minds what has not been done before. To observe commandments ought to be the labour of every soul. After keeping the commandments, we can now come to the season where Jesus came to, and God can now declare over us as He did on Him (Heb. 1:9).

Jesus’ relationship with the Father is a revelation of how He loved the Father. Every action Jesus took consulted what was written about it. He consulted the mind of the father and, in so doing, always did what was right. Every action we take ought to be revealed. As long as we are keeping the laws of a particular realm of life, we are insured against the Devil. Satan knows when we break laws and wants for us to break certain laws of life – “and whoso breaketh through a hedge, a serpent shall bite him. ” (Ecc. 20:8).

God wants to number us among other fellows that Jesus raised. God could not successfully raise Adam because somewhere He wanted to have an adventure with the world. Many of us don’t mind the kingdom but we also don’t mind having an adventure with the world/vanity.

Jesus sought first the kingdom. God wants to give us something higher than additions. There are men who are seeking God for God. These men are fellows. A fellow is one whom God is able to raise like He raised Jesus.

There is a tendency in man. We don’t currently love righteousness or hate wickedness but we have the tendency to love righteousness and hate wickedness but we haven’t. God gave man a will to prove to Satan that man can choose God’s will above his own will. The wisest way to relate with our will is to relate with it like a high-tension wire.

(Rom. 10:8) – “And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.”

It is by loving righteousness that they program life into the soul. We have the gift of a will. The will God gave us can choose God in a way that angels can’t. Angels don’t have the frame that can take the commandments that God gave us. Our net worth can be traced to the potential that our soul has. The potential of our soul is greater than that of angels, and that is what makes us special. Where our souls can be in God is what makes us special, not our bank accounts. We have the potential to choose good and to refuse evil. God gave man the commandments that will enable him to come to God’s sphere of life. Our relationship with God should be traced to God’s commitment to mankind. Yes, there will be signs and wonders, which are also gifts the Lord gives, but the greatest gift God can give to man is Himself through commandments.

Wickedness is the fruit of someone who perverted his commandments. If we can relate with God’s commandments like Jesus did, we will overcome the wicked one. God is moving vital substances into our blood as we keep commandments. We are a species with a potential higher than an angel . This thing has not dawned on us; it has not yet shaped our outlook to life. David understood this in a shadow that He is fearfully and wonderfully made (Psa 139:14). This means sin and death are afraid of us because of our potential. When we can know the mysteries of the kingdom, death knows we overcome it. For example, a medical student is being raised to be a potential saviour who can put a stop to death in the body. Likewise, we all have the potential to come to a place where we can stop spiritual death in our members. Once we can become a mystery to sin, like our Lord Jesus is/was (1 Cor. 2:8), we will realize that Satan is living in fear. He is destined to make the same mistake he made by crucifying Jesus. This is because the hidden wisdom by which Jesus lived is the same hidden wisdom being revealed to us (Luke 8:10).

Satan is living in fear until he makes the ultimate mistake that will lead him to get to a place where he will kindle a fire within him, and he will burn, and when he burns in wrath, he will make the ultimate mistake. When the man child company is raised, he will expire his self-control and then take steps that will cause him to burn – “Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.” (Ezek. 28:18).

There is a weight we need to put behind the subject of commandments because that was Jesus’s secret. When we carry out and keep commandments, we will have a life we didn’t previously have.

The conversation from Jordan to Gethsemane is what upgraded the state of the earth again; what happened in three and a half years is what makes angels bow down to worship Jesus. They saw a man like Stephen do what angels can’t do, and they are waiting for many men who will do likewise. We are potential dignitaries, and what makes us dignitaries, indeed, is what we do with the commandments. What we do with commandments is what we will end up loving and loving not; the more we love, the more we love not.

The commandments God gave man brought him to a place that angels cannot get to. Angels receive men who keep that commandment with a standing ovation. The value God placed on man compared to other creatures can be seen in the quality of commandment God gave man. The giving of commandments is to help man love righteousness. We are one of the fellows of our generation who will love righteousness and hate iniquity.

The journey to love righteousness and hate iniquity is first seen in the economy of the Holyghost (Gal 5). Righteousness is the right way to live in the flesh. The Holyghost started it, and those who kept faith with the instructions of the Holyghost had a good report because men could see the Holyghost in them (Acts 6:3). The first personality of the Godhead meant to be seen in our lives is the Holyghost. It is evident that you have the mind of the HolyGhost if He can instruct you and you can carry it out. The Holyghost has His mind, Christ has His mind, God has His mind. If Christ has His mind, the rest of the personalities of the Godhead whose names we are to learn, also have their own minds (1 Cor. 2). The minds are like different operating systems that can be upgraded. This conversation is seen in how we handle money, for example. The mind of the Holy Ghost is the base model for the minds of the other personalities of the Godhead. A man who has arrived at the faith in the Lord Jesus and love unto all the saints has come into the mind of the Holyghost. This mind can take the next mind – the mind of Christ (Eph. 1:15-17). Then, commandments are further given to come into the mind of God.

(Gal. 5:22-24) —“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.” — These fruits are the fruit of those who have the mind of Christ, or the mind of the love in Christ, or have minded the right thing that Christ will mind. This is called the fruit of righteousness. Christ can’t claim us at the moment because He doesn’t have His laws in us – “Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his” (Rom. 8:9). When the law of Christ is in motion, the law of sin and death is suspended. When a soul can walk the walk and do Christ, it will become a law in the soul and will defy the law of sin and death. This is how we love in the sanctuary.

Before we can do God, we must have done Christ. We need to strive to do Christ and bring this conversation to our flesh every day. (Gal. 5:24-25) — “And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.” — This is how we nail flesh on a cross. This is what it means to be redeemed through the blood of Christ.

(1 Pet. 1:18-19) – “Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; 19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:” – There are different levels of vanity or vain conversations that will be dropped in the outercourt, sanctuary and most holy place during the course of our journey.

As we walk in the spirit, sins will drop, and when Satan realizes that sins are dropping, he then starts to put pressure on the things he has access to in us. Pressures in the natural, afflictions, contradictions, and anything traceable to the fall of man are expected from Satan because he can see that our response to the pasture is bringing about the remission of our sins. He sees that we are being made free, so he puts pressure on what we have access to.

(1 Pet. 1:14) — “as obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:” — Sin can become a past tense to us; sin can be late and laid to rest like it became for them. God will chasten us so that we can subject ourselves to the dealings that will lead to the remission of sins. We must be doers and not allow the devil to cheat us.

Our soul can be a precious stone. (2 Peter 1:1) — “Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ:” People should be able to touch Christ in us. We should come to the place of doing Christ unconsciously, then the minister of the sanctuary will receive us and present us to the Father as sons and daughters. We will then hear ministrations that border on the word and testimony to prepare us for the everlasting covenant.

Christ has His covenant (Mal. 3). It is to prepare the soul for a higher covenant. The precious blood of Christ precedes the precious blood of the everlasting Son. Breaking news in heaven is that some people on earth now have things to do with the Son.

(Heb 4:13) — “Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.” — Angels can only serve those with whom the Son has something to do. It is more than we can pray for; we don’t even have a desire or hope for it because our needs and expectations have beclouded us. Bringing man to an estate of honour, to make man better than an angel, is what God calls needs. This should be our need. Angels want us to see ourselves the way God sees us. The reality of the raising of the Son of God is a comfort to them, and they can run errands to bring it to pass (Heb 1:14). God has done too much for us and somewhere these things don’t yet mean anything to us as it should.

Our net worth is dependent on the commandments we are holding. The secrets of our parents are the commandments of God they consistently receive and keep. The expectation of God for our community is that we hasten to a place where we can love righteousness and hate wickedness. This is God’s prayer, and He knows man can answer His prayer; may we not deny God an answer to His prayer! There is no way we can answer God’s prayer that He won’t answer all our prayers; it is the shortcut to also get our prayers answered.

What pleases God is to see God in men, to see men loving what Jesus loves (Heb. 1:9). Whenever we are loving righteousness, that conversation is a precious fruit, and they come to harvest it. Whenever they see a conversation that is not of the present, heaven freezes; they stand still when they see a conversation of the world to come, which is still in God on earth; that is what they call pleasure. That was what Jesus kept giving the Father (Matt. 3:17, Matt. 17:5). He kept using the mind of the Father till He had the mind of God. He had the spirit of power and a sound mind. He kept puncturing wickedness in His thoughts and imagination. He kept disobeying them and proved that God is True (John 3:33). He archived obedience in His blood.

When we have a sound mind, we can discern iniquity and puncture it. Angels want us to talk to God about what pleases and matters to Him, and when we do, other things we don’t talk about will be addressed. One thing we will trust God to do differently is to do revelation well. We should not have an abundance of revelation with very little life conversation. When we do the revelation, we change seasons in the spirit and in the natural because we have taken God’s need personally. God’s need was what Jesus addressed. His need is to see men walk like Jesus walked until they can receive His testimony.

(Heb 1:9a) — “Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; — Wickedness is lovable. Iniquity is lovable. God is marking time for us to hasten to love what is revealed by not loving our lives. There is a promise contending with the promise of God in our lives. We need to agree that this is our life and count the costs. We need to agree with the demands, then we will love it, and then we will be empowered to hate wickedness. The tendency to live righteously is in our heart and God wants to fan the tendency to love righteousness. Teaching and breaking doctrine is to fan that tendency. Satan will also be coming much more than he has to reveal to us what we can love, but tendencies to love what he will reveal must have been dealt with. We need to contend for the faith, and use it to own God and cease to own ourselves. This is why Father Abraham is the father of faith; he used faith to own God, and when you own God, you cease to possess yourself. God must become our possession.

Satan has been able to raise men who through the promise of life in this present world got to a place where they love wickedness. God has been able to raise men who love righteousness but He wants to number many because of the allocation of mercy. He has been able to raise some who have the covenant of life and peace, which precedes the everlasting covenant. Even Satan knows that if God starts something, He has where He is going, and this is why we face some pressure even in our nation, Nigeria. Some commandments we need to keep to overcome the devil have to do with even our government and the men in power (Matt. 5:38-48). We must keep such commandments as our Lord Jesus also did in the days of His flesh. By keeping these commandments, we demonstrate love for the Father.

We must model the first and last works of Everlasting life, that is when we can please the Father well (Matt. 3:17, Matt. 17:5). We must learn not to own ourselves, and how to love in a manner and way that we come to a place where something will be trapped in our blood. It is what was trapped in the blood of Abraham that helped him to generate that conversion, and then he sealed and ratified that covenant that God made with him. We have an example of a man who, under a lesser testament, finished his course (Rom. 4). We have no business not finishing our course. We must constantly tell ourselves that we are not going anywhere till we finish our course (2 Tim. 4:7).

THE END
