Eternal Glorious Fountain Ministry (EGFM)
Believers' Convention 2022 (Day 6 - Evening Session)
Date: Friday, 12th August 2022
“And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.” (Dan. 12:1). Just as we have been taught by our father, Reverend Kayode Oyegoke, the standing of the great Prince, Michael, is the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ as the Prince of Life Eternal. This 'stand' means that there would be an unveiling of the operation of the great Prince, Michael, for the deliverance of the people of God. There is a connection between the name ‘Michael’ and the deliverance of God’s people – the name is the unveiling of salvation.
The time of the end is the time that heaven has allocated for the mysteries of eternal salvation to be fully unveiled. Thus, the message of salvation will characterize the message of the end. The revelation of salvation is what would bring the people of God into deliverance.
"And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt." (Dan. 12:2). The revelation of the great prince Michael will also cause an awakening, which is that men would find grace to ascend to God. Many sleep in the dust of the earth, that is – they are earthbound because of the operations of the dragon. However, in this same season, God would allow for a massive publishing of the name of salvation to cause many to ascend from the dust.
“I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire. [10]A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened.” (Dan. 7:9-10). The unveiling of the name of the great prince, Michael, would be by the opening of books because until books are open, blessings are sealed. When books are open, judgements concerning the ascension of God's people to the throne, and light for salvation, are brought to them. There are things that are sealed that ought to be opened. They must be opened for the blessings of God to come to the people of God.
Until the books are open, judgement does not come forth. Judgement constitutes the apparatus of salvation to be given to the saints, for them to come into their inheritance. Without the delivery of the thoughts of salvation to the saints, they cannot war with the dragon. We have a formidable adversary whose force has held men bound for so long. He can only be brought down by the judgement contained in the books of salvation.
We are in the season Jane Lead prophesied about, when the seals and the book would be opened. But for this to happen, we must believe. There are things that have made us ignorant, and so we have not gained access to things of salvation. Salvation is a hidden secret that must be taught to the Church.
“I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them; [22] Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.” (Dan. 7:21-22). The word, ‘came’, speaks of the revelation of the ancientness of God. The Ancient of Days is the Being of salvation. Salvation is seated on the throne. Salvation means to take man from the dust to the throne. What makes God God is salvation. The question, ‘who is like God?’, can be rephrased as, ‘who is as safe as God?’ Until judgement is taught, the saints cannot possess the kingdom. To possess the kingdom is to inherit salvation.
“And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars: [2] And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered. [3] And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.” (Rev. 12:1-3). The glory of the Son is the light of the Father. In Joseph’s dream, the father was likened to the sun, while his mother was likened to the moon. So the light of the sun can be referred to as the light of the Father, which is, everlasting life. The woman with the man-child experiences certain things because of the operation of the baby inside her. The light of the sun represents the Father, the moon represents Christ. The Church must move from the revelation of Christ to that of the Father.
“And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.” (Rev. 12:4). The tail of the dragon represents the operation of the dragon’s deception and his false prophetic dimension. A season will come when there will be a massive operation of deception and false doctrines. False doctrines would seek to creep into churches that aim toward prevailing against the dragon. The seven churches in Revelation 2 and 3 began warring with these doctrines. For example, the doctrines of Jezebel, Nicholatians and Balaam were all dragonic teachings. Satan cast stars down through lies, thus hindering them from ascending to the throne. Stars are angels (messengers).
“And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.” (Rev. 12:5). God’s program for this present time is to raise the man-child; after which he can rule all nations for a season, as permitted by God. Ruling begins from spirit realms to earthly realms. One must have the authority of the throne to rule over the nations. During the reign of the man-child, it would be easy for men to learn salvation and know God.
“And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, [8] And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. [9] And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. [10] And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. (Rev. 12:7-10). This war has not yet happened. It would happen as a result of the obedience of a mass of people moving towards God. Our obedience is the tool for casting Lucifer (the dragon) down.
“And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.” (Rev. 12:11). There is a sprinkling of the blood of the Lamb. We would be decked with so much everlasting thoughts that would allow for the mass exodus of believers out of the earth, so that they can possess their possession in the heavens.
Blessings!
