Programme: Anamnesis 2023 (Day 4 - Morning Session)
Date: Saturday, 9th December 2023
This meeting is a mountain of salvation, for Jesus has been coming to deliver and save us. A lot of deliverance has taken place here, and it will not stop.
The end of Vashti was very pitiful and dishonourable. But as we are being enlightened by the word, we are seeing the path to life and honour. God is helping us so that we will be light to our generation. This is because Satan is spreading lies in the name of civilization. Vashti rubbed shoulders with her husband; it is Satan that rubs shoulders with God. But when we understand service, we will not have issues with submission. Our Lord Jesus took the form of a servant. His life and name (nature) spell out service.
We have come to Zion where the High Priest can speak to us. Zion is a place of deliverance (Obad. 1:17) because people who come to Zion still have sins, issues, and infirmities; they have not been fully redeemed. Those who came to Zion are those referred to as men. The word ‘men’ means a lot of things in this context. There is the mere man who is an ordinary man and a carnal man, who is a baby or a babe in Christ and walks like mere men. But when such men take enough milk, they grow to become a child.
“When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things” (1 Cor. 13:11). This scripture is not referring to physical age. There is a way babes and children reason and the way one reasons is the way one will speak. That Paul said he became a man means he had used Christ and had become someone they could reckon with in the spirit as a man. It is a person who can stand on Zion that God sees as a man. God cannot relate with one who is proud.
What makes one a man is that he has used the doctrine of Christ. We are not men until we are free from the law of sin and death. The High Priest is taken from among men, not mere and ordinary men, but men who have climbed the mountains by obedience to commandments and the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus. We should all race to become men.
A man is he who is not interested in His own ego, because every man is tempted of his ego. The life of Christ is not about raising men who are not submissive. Being a man does not mean to be all-knowing in the place of knowledge. A man who is not Christ will fall into temptation because such is still seeking honour and wants to draw attention to himself. Such is not a man, for he still reasons like a child. A man is a charity being, who does not seek his own things. A charity man will not speak ill of leaders and fathers. The Church is in its present state because there are no real men. Insulting fathers is unacceptable. People (unbelievers) do this on social media, but it is bad. Instead, we must honour fathers.
Men who insult fathers are on the path to destruction. It is spiritually and naturally unethical to discuss evil things about fathers to younger ones. One who does this is training them wrongly. It is completely out of place to speak evil of a father to his children, for you are killing the person you are talking to. We must learn how to honour one another because scripture says we should honour all men (1 Pet. 2:17).
We should learn to settle our differences in secrets and let them not be heard in public. This generation must learn honour because Satan is raising us with dishonour. It is darkness that has no respect for order, protocol and ethics. Christ did not teach us to bring disputes to the public, therefore, we should settle them amidst one another and let go completely.
“Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.” (Matt. 10:16). God has to arm us with harmlessness and high wisdom, otherwise, we cannot reach the body. We should honour one another. We should not put down anyone. We should learn honour. There is a teaching of honour and ethics in Christ, and we must learn it. Daddy Kenneth E. Hagin said he would never discuss the infirmities of brethren in front of his children. The good way for a child to grow is to be kept from the infirmities of others.
We must come into a place of fear. When we are learning God, we must learn fear. We must learn to cover the nakedness of fathers. It is unholy to discuss the shortcomings of fathers. Those who come to Zion have had their sins taken care of by obeying the instructions of Christ; they did not just learn Christ, they used Christ and have obeyed righteousness. Learning Christ is learning the truth that is in Him. You do not know Christ until you know the truth that made Him up (Eph. 4:21). When we know the truth that is in Him, we will know Him. And when we know and obey it, we will become free. Freedom comes when we obey and do instructions.
“There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. [2] For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.” (Rom. 8:1-2). The key to inheriting Christ is to ‘walk not after the flesh’. It is possible for people who are born again to walk after the flesh. Men who are free from the law of sin and death are the real men. They are men whom the High Priest can interact with; they are men who are standing on Zion. The reason they are on Zion is for further cleansing. They are people who can interact with the substances of the Son and the things He wants to give. They can discern it because they have exercised their senses. The men on Zion are those who are waiting for strong meat.
“But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.” (Heb. 5:14). Men are standing on Zion, waiting for the appearance of Jesus and Jesus is bringing the things that configured and made Him up to them. These things are everlasting substances and they are the things of the Son. That is why upon Mount Zion, they will possess their possession. Their possessions are the things of the High Priest and the Father. The High Priest is armed with the things incorruptible, undefiled and that do not fade away. This is the possession because that is our inheritance.
“Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee.” (Heb. 2:12). ‘My brethren’ are men and not children. A child in spirit is one who has been weaned from milk, drawn from breast and is ready for knowledge. It is children who have used milk that can be granted entrance into the next allocation. Some children have not used milk well. They use faith for their covetousness and do not allow the spirit of milk to work in them, to restrain them from lying. Some men claim they have faith but are dishonest.
The discipline of faith should raise a child who can stand tests and not fall into works of the flesh. Faith in the Lord Jesus makes us make up our minds not to disobey God. It is also not for claiming other people's things. It is faith that would make a forty year old woman resolve to follow God irrespective of the odds. We must get to a point where we are resolute because we believe in the Lord Jesus. Some people went through that course but the course did not get through to them, so they did not become children that can be taught knowledge.
When we obey the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus, our sins are deleted. This is because sins are dealt by obedience. That we have finished the learning of Christ does not mean that all our sins are gone because sin is deep and cannot be taken care of at once. The curriculum of Christ cannot take care of all sins, that is why we still need the Son of God. Sin is in levels and the provisions for it are also in levels.
When we arrive on mount Zion, we have been made holy, but there is still a higher holiness that we must attain. This is because we ought to move from one level of holiness to another. The name of the Father, which is the nature of the Father, is declared to us on Mount Zion. The 144,000 who stood on Mount Zion had the Father's name on their heads, for the name was declared to them (Rev. 14:1). The commandment is that we should believe in the name of the Son. The name of the Son is the name of the Father and it is an everlasting name. We ought to believe in the name of the Son and love one another.
Believing is agreeing. Therefore, when the Son is revealed, we ought to agree with His revelation. The Son is not a man and His name should take us from being men to ascending to heaven. The name is an heavenly nature that is being declared to us to turn us. These 144,000 were not redeemed from among mere men but from among men who were standing on Zion and who had been taken up by the declaration of the name of the Father. The name has another name and the name is known as ‘servant’. Another name for that name is ‘Lamb’. The lamb is a little man. The major work in Zion is to make us little.
“Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus…” (Philipp. 2:5). This mind is not just captured, it has to be declared, painted and revealed for it to be formed in a person’s mind. When we came to Zion, we achieved a little because the people in Zion are sheep. This is why they can be taught. When they have the name, they can follow the Lamb wherever he goes, for they have been made little. We cannot follow the Lamb except we are healed of our own things. The things of the Lamb are not palatable to mere men. When God is declaring Christ to us, He is telling us things about the Son.
“Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: [7] But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men…” (Philipp. 2:6-7). God did not force this nature on the Son. What the Father teaches us is how to be servants. Most of the apostles were referred to as servants because they are serving righteousness, which is the person or nature of God. They have to reveal the person of God to one before one can be a servant. When the person of God is revealed and one is able to obey it, then one is serving. No one becomes a servant automatically. People serve for different reasons, some of which are selfish because of different hopes.
We might preach a thing but we may not have become it. There are some men that have become the things that are being preached, for they already have the conversations. The desire of one who has become a father in the Spirit is to please the Lord without reward. The formation of the name is the formation of a servant who will follow the Lamb whithersoever He goeth, without any ambition or hope (Rev. 14:4). When we arrived in Zion, we still had harmful natures. But the changing of nature takes place in Zion, as this is where we are feasted with the nature of the Son.
“The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them.” (Isa. 11:6). It takes power to convert these different creatures to eating straw. They represent different configurations of souls. Some souls are harmful even though they are born again and have climbed Zion. But on mount Zion, everlasting righteousness is brought to correct natures. Everlasting life cannot be given without the revelation of everlasting righteousness, which is the ministration of the New Testament. It is a ministration of spirit, which are the laws of everlasting life that we must obey. Sins cannot go and natures cannot change without obedience.
Peace, meekness, humility and gentleness are conversations of the morning light. They are lines of the conversation of the morning and they are the conversations that frame the Beings of the beginning. The Beings of the beginning are very harmless; They are peaceful people. Before one can see the Son of God or the everlasting Father, one’s heart should have been trained with some level of peace (Heb. 12:14).
“For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile…” (1 Pet. 3:10). These are the things our souls must be configured with. Evil speaking is something we must be taught to not do. This is because Satan has so deceived us with darkness and lies that we do not know what is right anymore. If truth is not shown to us, we would justify evil speaking. We must detest evil speaking. That is why fellowship with messages and materials by Rev. Kenneth E. Hagin will set some things in the right order in our hearts. We must not be given to speaking evil. The Lord commands that we speak no evil of any man, therefore, we must not join the conversation of evil speaking. We need to perfect this because it is an area we are falling short of.
In the duel between Archangel Michael and Satan over the body of Moses, there was a law in Him that made him not to bring a railing conversation against Lucifer. He only said “the Lord rebuke you”, even though Satan had fallen (Jude 1:9). We must honour dignitaries; they must be respected. In the realm we are going in the spirit, there is nothing like dishonour, for it is a realm of honour. It is a highly regimented place; it is more regimented than the military force. In the military, you must obey the last order and not disrespect your superior.
“Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.” (Psa. 4:4). The realm called ‘sin not’ is a realm where awe and trembling guides. This was the burden of the Apostle John (1 John 5:18). One of the things those who would be born of God must have is awe and trembling. Daddy Adeboye (The General Overseer of RCCG) has this and anyone who will stand in his shoes must have it. So the Lord will keep him and elongate his life until such a person arises because it is needed to keep evil spirits from devouring the body. The realm we are knocking on is the realm called ‘sin not’. It is the realm of standing with the Lamb upon Mount Zion, and those who will stand must have this awe and trembling.
God has to equip us for the body of Christ. God does not hate His body; He loves it. Therefore, we should not use swords against it. Swords should instead be used against spirits. The Lord showed us an example of this by using a towel for the body (John 13:5). We need to acquire skill to reach the body. Many Christians in the body do not know too much about the spiritual realm yet, but we should not say this to their faces. We must however know that God has had mercy on us. The body is very tender and God does not want us to talk derogatively against it. Therefore, we must not speak evil of churches or feel better than them. God wants our hearts to be large to reach the body and to see the body the way He sees it.
The body is the Lord's body and we are one with it. We should also know that we will preach and minister to them at some point in time. Therefore, God has to bring our hearts to be low and meek. This is the nature He wants to install in us. Satan has given us a wrong nature and we are persuaded of it. We justify darkness because the understanding of another person has not come. When we see the Lord, all we will see is tenderness and gentleness. God wants us to react to people the way He will react. That is why they need to cause us to see Him.
“Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.” (1 John 3:2). The purpose of the Lord’s appearance is for us to see and be like Him. He demonstrated Himself amidst us yesterday as a little child who is gentle, tender, meek, kind and lowly. This is how He always introduces Himself. To escape Satan, we just need to be meek and little.
There is a way brethren love themselves. Charity is the end of the law and commandment in Christ. But it is also the beginning of another level of love that is higher than charity. This love will be taught to us when the person of His name is being preached to us. Our kind of love should be like that of little children who have become converted. We should be children in malice but men in understanding. The love of that realm is the love of children and what will be responsible for it is that His name will be revealed to us. We will receive the name and believe it. They are not likely to believe on His name because His name is too little. His name is His nature. Nobody wants to be vulnerable or little, but when His name is revealed to us, our nature will be taken care of and we will become converted to being little. When we obey the name being given to us, we become converted as little children.
“Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings…” (1 Pet. 2:1). Peter was writing to those who had perfected Christ to put aside all guile, hypocrisies, etc. This verse shows that they took care of some kind of malice and hypocrisy in Christ, but not entirely. Conversion takes place on Zion; people will become little and because of that, their expressions of love will be different. We should become so little that we seek no reputation, for when we have no reputation, we will not become offended.
Little children do not know offence. We should have no reputation; we should be little. When we have no reputation, we will not likely be offended. We are on Zion for salvation, which comes by the declaration of the name and the declaration of everlasting righteousness. We are entering a dangerous zone in which we are not allowed to be disorderly because orderliness, reverence, awe, honour are the order of the day. The Lamb is honourable. He honours men and is not harmful. The Lamb is also holy. Therefore, another level of holiness will be brought to us by the revelation of what made Him up. When we do what we see, we will be made holy. And we will do what we see in this realm, just as in the time of Christ. In the curriculum of Christ, we saw His laws, obeyed them and we were cleansed. In the realm of everlasting life, we will see His light.
“But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.” (1 John 1:7). We have to walk for us to be cleansed. Sin will not go except we walk in the light. There is availability of a law to remove our sins but we have to walk in the light. We should look to do light and walk in it. When we see the light, we must make sure to walk in it. We should do His will and qualify as His people. Out of Zion, saviours shall arise. Saviours are being made; they are people who will be sent to help raise the Church. They are tender people who will respect and honour the Church.
Round-off by Reverend Kayode Oyegoke
It is not easy to humble a woman because of the motherly instinct they have. God used this message to show the women that they are very key to the Kingdom. If we have mothers like this, then we have a good future.
Greetings by Pastor Chuks Chukwu
There is so much God has downloaded into us because of what He has in mind to do. Some things opened up yesterday evening and those things are going to shape the body of Christ. For the first time, God is downloading into us the contents that will make a Church that is without spot.
Blessings!
