Eternal Glorious Fountain Ministry (EGFM)
Programme: Revelation Hour (RH)
Date: Saturday, 22nd January 2022
Ministering: Pastor Tayo Fasan
There is a proclamation in the spirit this season -- that God wants to give us everlasting life. God told us this through His servant, Rev. (Mrs) Helen Oyegoke. We may not have heard it with the resonation of a trumpet and it may not also have caught the attention of some people yet. But God does not want anyone to be left behind in what He is doing.
There was a time when the light of Christ was burdensome to some of us. But with time, we began to make heart adjustments and delight in it until we became skillful in using it. This trumpet or proclamation is supposed to help those who are contrite amidst us to begin to offer sacrifices to God, by virtue of their Holy Place conversations (lifestyles). Many who will apply their hearts to what is being said will come to a place of trembling. This proclamation was received with different soul reactions. The summary of every inaccurate response to such a trumpet is that infirmities still exist in souls. However, those who will keep responding to God through His speakings will be healed of their infirmities.
“As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe.” (Mark 5:36). The first prescription that every man needs at this time is to believe what is being preached to us. Those who have the right posture towards this proclamation in the spirit have this stand of faith. There is an appearance or revelation of the Father that is backing all the preachings we are hearing at these times. This appearance is a buildup on the appearance that can deal with sin. As such, in these times, God will not only appear to give speakings that will deliver us from sin, but also appear to communicate salvation to us (Heb. 9:28).
The reason why some people still question some speakings (about everlasting life) is because many bring those high thoughts (that come via speakings) to the realm of reasoning. But as we continue to believe, we will gather substances till we get to a point where we can yield fruit in either thirty, sixty or a hundredfold (Matt. 13:8).
"Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls." (1 Pet. 1:9). A believer who is in this season can only do one thing – believe. At this point, he will show forth the characteristics of charity, as listed in 1 Corinthians 13. He can do this because he has stayed under teachings and speakings, which are from the appearance that deals with sin. The appearance that deals with sin will crucify the fears that come from this world (the fears supervised by principalities, powers, and rulers of this world). The reason for the appearance of the Lord to us at this time is to also deal with a fear in us. By reason of faith, a believer will first have to be displaced of his fears before those fears can be replaced.
"Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you…" (2 Cor. 6:17). Those who are sanctified are those who have crucified their fears, kept faith with the covenant of life and peace, and have borne forth fruits. They then need to take instructions from the Almighty, so that they can be fathered from a place beyond being sons and daughters. At this point, they have not yet come into the perfect expression of the light of faith.
“And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.” (2 Tim. 3:15). It is the wisdom of Christ that makes a man wise and prepares him for salvation. There is a righteousness of faith (Rom. 1:17). When righteousness has been revealed from faith to faith, there is another level of righteousness to come into, which is known as the everlasting order of righteousness. It is the righteousness of the Most Holy place. What is right in this season is to use the Father’s light in places where we have previously used the light of Christ.
There is an expression of godliness in the Most Holy (Heb 12:28). There was a faith that was acknowledged in the Most Holy Place concerning the company that stood on Mount Zion (Rev. 14:12). Those saints are sanctuary brethren who will come into the light of everlasting life. As such, we should not despise faith because it will make us come into the charity of the Most Holy. There is a patience that comes before charity, but we will have to come into another patience - the patience in the light of the Father. When we have this patience, we will no longer see darkly, for we will start contending with higher spirits.
There is also a higher specification of meekness that is after the order of perfection (Eph. 4:2). There is a meekness in Christ that should birth fear, which men will bear witness to. There is a folly among men that makes them believe that they can do without the witnesses of men. However, men should be able to bear witness to your works because it is by fruits that people are known (Matt. 7:16). Therefore, we should be cautious and selflessly go about things.
"Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters." (Rev. 14:7). The Father desires to make the righteous have a higher level of fear, for without this, He will not dwell in us. The knowledge of God we are to increase in is the knowledge of the Father. The reason is because God wants to increase His fear in us. The light of everlasting life wants to process a daily fear in us that will make us talk to God about our fears. We begin with being a people of God, until we become full sons that fear God.
The issue of fear should be taken more personally. The reason why we do not yet have fear is because another fear has not yet been displaced in us. It is the revelation of Christ that will displace the fear of the enemy in us. There are some revelations and conversations which when they peak in charity, will displace some fears in us. Then, another fear will rise. When the Father speaks to us at that point, we will be able to hear Him.
"And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain." (Heb. 12:27). The essence of the sayings of God in this season are to displace a fear in our souls. The things that are shaken are things we fetched when we were outside Christ. We would have been safer if the knowledge of Christ was domiciled in us before we began handling privileges in this present life. But as this was not the case, we got some fears from the things we handled. However, the speakings of these times are going displace the fears that could not be dealt with in the seasons of Christ.
It is by the positive everlasting life that we will walk before the Father and be perfect. The righteousness that exceeds the righteousness of the Pharisees is that which a man of God will follow after while going to perfection. God is bringing a higher revelation to us but He is asking that we start by first believing. Believing is a training of faith that will culture the spirit of faith. A higher consecration in this season of everlasting life will culture a higher spirit in us, which is the spirit of love.
The spirit of fear and unbelief is a terrible spirit; this must have been what Satan used to tempt Adam and Eve in Eden. Satan speaks with a negative spirit of fear, but we will need more than the spirit of faith to overcome him. We also need the spirit of love and of a sound mind (1 Tim. 1:7). It takes perfect love to cast out all fears (1 John 4:18). The Father’s light wants to expose fears.
"And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified." (Acts 20:32). This grace is the grace of salvation and it is the grace that is upon us now. It is the grace that wants to expire fear in us. It is the grace of faith and the end of faith is salvation. God will start us with the word of His grace (grace of faith) and then bring us to the grace of salvation that will bring us to God.
The essence of the seeds (speakings or words) that are coming our way now are so that we will love what we hear to a point where we will treasure them and thoroughly believe them. They are being given to us, not only to believe in His name but to suffer (Philipp. 1:29). The demand of each name has its suffering. Suffering is leading. There are things they had received by believing but there were dealings they would also come into by suffering for His name.
Learning obedience means learning suffering (Heb. 5:8); it is learning to go against our normal natures. The essence of teaching is to give us substances and help us deny the devil or his promise. What Adam fell short of was that he did not deny Satan. We have used the light of Christ to deny his lies in a measure, however, we ought to begin to use the speaking of everlasting life to deny his lies. We hope for what we love and what we love has a level of fear attached to it. What God is feeding us against is a hope. Just like Abraham was led against his fears, God is also leading us by bringing us into unfamiliar grounds. For us, this is faith.
"(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were." (Rom. 4:17). Before Abraham could become a father of many nations, there was a hope he had to surrender. Before we can come to a place where we can believe God, we have to believe the Lord first. A time will also come when we will be instructed to believe the Father. Then, we can believe God because the light of everlasting life will raise Fathers. A time will come when young men will be raised to become fathers. These fathers are those who can have an audience with God (Heb. 1:1). These are those who hate the world but love the things of the Father: things of the Most Holy.
The realm of Everlasting Life is the realm of quickening. Quickening means to make alive. What happened to our spirits at the new birth was that we were raised from the dead by the operation of the Son of God. Then, our spirits were made alive. After the soul has been raised by the righteousness of faith, such a man can begin to compare spiritual with spiritual (1 Cor. 2:13). He can compare Christ man with the divine man or the new man with the everlasting man. By this, the soul will be brought to perfection. A soul can be upgraded from Christ to everlasting life by the light of the Father and eventually to Eternal Life.
"These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God." (1 John 5:13). It is not everybody that can believe, it can only take the Father to believe the true God. There is the name of the living Son, but what comes after the living Son is the full blown Son -- the Son that captures all the essence of the Father. Believing is our profession as believers. Its essence is to beat the soul to a shape where its substance will be changed from carnal to spiritual. Then, it can exercise itself in being spiritual until it is enlarged. Thereafter, God can bring divine things to it.
When our Lord Jesus sits to teach, He wants to communicate a law (everlasting life unto Eternal Life) to us. What our pastors are labouring to paint by these teachings are to put together the image of the Son of God, so that we can see (understand) the everlasting man and faithfully profit with the seasons of reward. Teachings bring together all the parts of the living Son of God for us to understand.
"The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed..." (1 Pet. 5:1). After a company has been raised to become Christ (little children) who will morph into becoming young men, there will be a provision of suffering for them. This is because of the enlightenment that is coming their way. There is a hope they will need to deny and another hope they will need to believe. They will go through the suffering that those who have become Christ will go through, like our Lord Jesus, who became a Son by an obedience. After going through this phase, He became an everlasting Son by another curriculum of obedience.
Many of us are believing God for everlasting life and God wants to give it. When God sees a willingness, He will arrange circumstances and dealings in praise and honor. As long as we can endure the sufferings, we will become what we are believing God for. God wants to unlock in us, the energy to seek Him by painting a hope to us. A time will come when the hope of everlasting life that we seek would have become tangible and will no longer be a hope. Then, such people can begin to believe God for the name (nature or inheritance) of the Son. This is the nature or inheritance of Eternal Life. This is what causes Satan to fear, for he can see that his days are numbered.
"And I will set up shepherds over them which shall feed them: and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, saith the Lord." (Jer. 3:4). Many of the shepherds that were spoken of in this scripture will make up the man-child company. They are those who have been fed above their fears and have come into perfect love. They will then shepherd and feed those multitudes that will be gathered before the throne in the new heaven. The multitude will neither hunger nor thirst because of these shepherds, who have been fed and have moved from being lamb to sheep (after the order of the Most Holy). Their souls have also become tabernacles for God.
