Speaker 5: Reverend Kayode Oyegoke
Jesus has to administer salvation to sons of the Sanctuary in order to bring them to glory (Heb. 2:10). To bring them to glory is to bring them to perfection. “And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. [18] Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.” (Heb. 10:17-18). The use of the word “these” when referring to remission shows that this remission and sin are not one-off. This remission takes place in the hearts of men. There are two things that ought to be dealt with in man: sins and iniquity.
Jesus has purged our sins and has sat on the Throne of God, but this is not yet a complete remission. “For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.” (Heb. 10:14). In the heavens, Jesus has finished everything that has to do with the perfection of those who are sanctified.
Those who teach New Creation realities to the extreme erroneously misinterpret this scripture, teaching that a man does not need to do any other work (or walk in obedience) after being born again. However, this scripture only means that a provision for perfection has been made for those who will engage and complete the curriculum of the sanctification of their souls.
“Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high…” (Heb. 1:3). Jesus went into the heavens so that believers can also follow suit. We cannot be purged of the heavenly faults in our souls if we do not ascend into the heavens. This is because our sins and iniquities are heavenly and can only be dealt with by something heavenly. If our sins and iniquities were only earthly, there would be no need for Jesus to purge the heavens.
Satan did not sin on earth, but over the stones of fire in heaven. Sins and iniquity were committed on top of the mountain of God (Ezek. 28:14-15). Satan’s feet were on the mountain of God and he used the mountain to offend all the doctrines he had in himself. He created an opposite pattern of the good and glad tidings of God (Isa. 52:7). Satan created sins and iniquity with his feet but God purged the mountain and cast Lucifer down from the mountain.
As such, in order to defeat Satan, one must go to the top of the mountain in the heavens, expire the feast he made there and create another. Satan used the mountain of God to feast angels by preaching the doctrine of his dominion to them, which is the doctrine of death (Jude 1:6). Therefore, overcomers are those who can ascend higher than the mountain where Satan used to be (Isa. 25:6-8). To come up to this point, one must have moved against those doctrines that Satan had created.
Satan created a city called Babylon, which is an invisible system. Therefore, she needs many heads or kings of nations to fulfil her mission and agenda – to keep souls in her until the beast is raised.
“To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified.” (Isa. 61:3). The agenda of God is to raise trees. These trees are ministers of God; they are trees of glory (everlasting life).
“Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.” (2 Cor. 3:6). God wants to make us a ministry. These kind of ministries do not refer to church gatherings but beings that God would have raised. Things are changing on earth – darkness is passing away and a new advent is coming upon the earth.
We know that a throne is at a work by the products and witnesses it would raise. The Throne of God is eager to produce ministries and men must be eager to receive its ministrations. The ministrations of the Throne will destroy the enemy and change us from within. The things of the Throne coming inside of us are stronger than things that angels carry.
When Satan fell, the heavens in him became hell. Satan is a perverted heaven. Whenever Satan proposes to give a man glory, his intention is to kill such a man with his offering. Satan showed Jesus the glories of this world, with a motive to kill Him (Matt. 4:8).
Many believers will be taken away at the sight of the crumbs of the glories of this world, but Jesus was shown the glories of the world but did not react like men would. Jesus only quoted a verse of scriptures to overcome the temptations of Satan. However, many Christians would quote a lot of scriptures but will still not be delivered from the temptations of Satan because the things of Satan are still resident in their soul (John 14:30).
“Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin” (Heb. 10:18). This is telling us that there is an end to sin in a man’s life. Those who think that man cannot be perfected say that because their souls have not ascended into heavens to see the possibilities in God. The problem is not with God but our fear of death. The strength of sin is the fear it propagates (Heb. 2:15).
Sin is the bread of Satan while iniquity is the fruit of Satan. Satan also offers bread to mankind and he made this bread from the holy mountain. This bread is a perverted heavenly bread and a corruptible bread. Satan’s corruptible seed is higher than this world and men should not race into that. However, the advanced world is currently toying with corruptible seed but God is delaying this process from finding full expression.
The corruptible seed ought not to find full expression because it will be difficult to save flesh. The seed wants to propagate iniquity. Sin is the bread of Satan or the bread of sorrow (Ps. 127:2) while iniquity is the fruit of the tree. It can only take God’s fruit to deal with the fruit of Satan’s tree.
“Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you: Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow” (1 Pet. 1:10-11). There is the sufferings of Christ and the glory that should follow. These are the two sides to the incorruptible seed (1 Pet. 1:23).
The suffering is the offering of bread; it is the learning of obedience to God’s flesh. Bread is a tool for healing. When God wants to begin a course, He does so with bread. The children of everlasting life need the bread of everlasting life, which are its sufferings. These are the sufferings that deal with everlasting sins which is the bread of Satan.
Every sin has a way and a pattern, which can only be dealt with by sufferings. “Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin;” (1 Pet. 4:1). It is the flesh of God that is in His bread; it is the flesh of the accepted time and the day of salvation. The sufferings of Christ is the only way to take sins out of a man. However, iniquity requires much more to be dealt with – glory. Glory deals with iniquity. The season of sufferings should culminate into glory.
The ministry of glory is unearthing difficult understanding, that is, making the mind comprehend things that a natural man cannot understand. A glorious man does not think like mere men. The season when God offers bread is the season of learning obedience or the time when we partake of the sufferings of Christ.
The Father raises and quickens, but there is another quickening in God. The Father quickens in the soul–gives resurrection and life. However, God also quickens. Sins are dealt with when God translates His judgements into a man.
The realm of suffering is the realm of learning. As such, the sufferings of Christ cannot be brought to a man without light. If there is an offering of bread, it means there has to be understanding to go through certain trainings in everlasting life. The bread contains information on how to expire sin. This means that sufferings are disciplines of everlasting life in the flesh.
Even after dealing with sins with the instrument of Christ, flesh and blood is still intact. This is because it is the incorruptible seed that changes flesh. The constitution of Satan’s flesh is sin, so the incorruptible seed will turn it into God’s flesh. There is also the need to deal with Satan’s blood in our souls as well. Melchizedek brought sufferings and glory to Abraham (Gen. 14:18) and this manifested in the things Abraham suffered afterwards.
The season of glory is a season of death. This death is not a physical extermination of a man but the agreement with the glory of God’s death. Glory kills; no man can see God (or glory) and live (Exo. 33:20). The higher the death, the higher the glory. Men make decisions to depart from God when glory is involved.
Suffering is the learning of obedience while the sprinkling of the blood is death. Blood is a tool of glory; it deals with death. Without the death of an animal, there cannot be blood. When blood is introduced, death is being combated. Blood is not death but a life. When blood is offered, life is offered and glory is brought in. Glory and blood are one.
There can never be the Shekinah glory in the Holiest of All without blood. Glory responds to the prayer of the blood, not that of the high priest. A high priest cannot petition or ask the way the blood will ask. The speaking nature of the blood is stronger than the lips of men. When blood is asking, it is with accuracy.
In the Old Testament, a high priest does not speak, he only offers blood. However, our High Priest (Jesus) can speak because He died and has become one with the blood, and so He would be speaking at the degree at which the blood is asking. Iniquity cannot be dealt with without the invitation of glory. Sufferings deal with sin while glory deals with iniquity.
“And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron. So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee.” (Heb. 5:-4). No man can deal with sin or take it away without honour. The priestly ministry of a high priest is a realm of glory where sins and iniquities are remitted. Remission of sins and iniquity cannot be separated from glory. When a man is dying, he is doing something glorious.
“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). It is the writings of God’s death that can undo Satan’s death. Dying to Satan’s death is a script of glory. We will behave gloriously when we do the opposite of what Satan’s death is calling for. God will demystify Satan so much that men will be free from the fear for their lives and a time will come when men will see nothing in what they have previously defined as life.
Those who loved not their lives were translated into a higher glory – they sat on the Throne (Rev. 12:11). To bring sons into glory is to make them overcome Satan’s death. Sufferings did not make the Captain of our salvation perfect, but glory did (Heb. 5:9). Sufferings is the bread while perfection would come through the blood.
“Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.” (Heb. 13:20-21). Without the use of blood, one cannot be made perfect. Perfection is God’s glory. Blood communicates the glory of a matter. Those who are in the season of blood are operating at a high level. This is why Satan does not want men to touch Jesus' blood.
Blood is different from sins. “Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.” (Heb. 12:4). These people have not allowed the sufferings of sins. Priests are armies. There are priests who are good soldiers but there are those who are perfect soldiers. Perfect soldiers are soldiers in glory; they are the armies of heaven that followed Jesus down to earth (Rev. 19:14). You cannot be a member of an army of heaven when you have not learnt the principles of sufferings and dying.
Sufferings are the trainings that God inculcates by His seed and bread for us to relinquish sin, while glory is the manifestation of the high wisdom of God to break covenants with iniquity by death. There are things we do that translate to death beyond sufferings. To die is gain (Philipp. 1:21). When a man is dying in everlasting life, he is being made glorious. When a man is going through sufferings, he is being raised but when a man is dying, he is being quickened (Jn. 5:21).
Sufferings or death does not refer to the inflicting of pain on oneself but provisions in the New Testament that one would carry out by the spirit of grace, which would completely expire sin and iniquity in our souls. Sufferings prepare men for death. Different glories have their methods of suffering.
Glory will not be put on anyone who is not dead. To kill a man is to make the man unchanging about the profession he is engaged in. We should not be sad about our sufferings because glory is coming. Glory speaks of separation from death; a glorious man will die no more. Perfection is possible and God will make us perfect.
