Anamnesis Day 4 Morning Session – Reverend (Mrs.) Helen Oyegoke
Transcript Summary
1. The first man that God raised was of a high stature; he was made a living soul (1 Cor. 15:45). This is why God gave Him dominion over all things created (Gen. 1:26). However, he had not come to the full expectation of what God wanted him to be. As such, he was meant to grow by eating of the tree of life in the garden (Gen. 2:9). The first Adam was made a little lower than the angels (Heb. 2:7), but when Jesus completed His course, He was made better than the angels (Heb. 1:4).
2. Jesus became the true image and brightness of God (Heb. 1:3), and this is God’s desire for us. Man became flesh by receiving the properties of a cherub; he was introduced to the things of Satan, who led man in his path until he became flesh (Gen. 6:3). Flesh is meant for destruction. Everything in man has been worn out by the leading and disobedience that Satan taught him.
3. (1 John 5:7). The Three are one because of the record They bear. Satan moved against man and disintegrated him to the point that it is now very difficult for man to be one. However, the Three are One because of the record that They keep. God wants to bring us to that place where we will also have Their record. The Trinity are brethren because of the record that They keep, and that record is the record of Eternal Life – it is the life that makes men one.
4. The utmost desire in the heart of the Trinity is to make us one. That was the prayer of Jesus for His disciples (John 17:21). To make men one is a journey of conversion; it is difficult because we have our egos, pursuits, and nature. This journey to oneness is important because it will bring the dragon down.
5. (Rev. 12:1-2, 5). The woman brought forth just one manchild, yet it is a company of many brethren. They would not have been able to escape Satan if they were not one, for their differences would have prevented them from being caught up. There will not be any compromise regarding this: it must be one manchild. The essence of the gospel is to rebuild man because he has fallen so deeply that he is unable to respond to God.
6. The Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost are one, and They bear a record. Without that record, They cannot be one. They do not fight for superiority or supremacy; They do not have the seed of strife and ambition within Them. We find it difficult to be faithful because we always seek relevance and preeminence, but these things are against the laws of brotherhood.
7. A charity man is one who has been raised; he is one that is produced by the revelation of Christ. Such a man has used the laws of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus to overcome sin and death (Rom. 8:2). This overcoming is actually a raising to rebuild man. We need to be rebuilt because we have an enemy that has things in us that must be pulled down.
8. (2 Cor. 10:1). There is a measure of meekness we must come into in the learning of Christ. Every allocation in the realm of the spirit has its level of meekness that it will bring to us. When we learn Christ, we become Christ and have the spirit of Christ. This is evidenced by a measure of meekness and gentleness in us. These are the laws that run the brotherhood.
9. There are laws in Christ that are meant for the brotherhood. A Christ man is one that has been raised from a level of destruction. There are things we learn in Christ that lead to our oneness, though not perfectly. There are things we must obey which are geared towards making us become one. (Eph. 4:25-28).
10. (Philipp. 2:1-3). There are bowels of mercy in Christ. These are instructions we ought to use to relate with one another. The oneness here is the level of oneness in Christ. It therefore shows us that there is a oneness that should be produced by learning Christ. The allocation of Christ brings a level of oneness if we have truly learned Christ and have been taught by Him.
11. (S.O.S 8:8-9). The care for their little sister was a burden. This is the life of brotherhood. The whole church of God is like this little sister that has no breasts, meaning she is not mature. However, we should not mock the church but rather, seek to protect and raise her.
12. In the realm of God, the first substance we come across is the word of God. The word of God is to build us to become little; a built man in the spirit is one who is little. These things are spiritual substances that we can only come across by revelation and understanding.
13. The word of God builds in us a stature that can take the testimony; it makes us servants. A servant is a raising and a building; we serve to be built. Testimony speaks of the law that is in the Son of God, and it will be given to us to make us worshippers. The realm of God is a realm of selflessness, for it takes selflessness to become one. As such, we cannot be one when we only focus on our things.
14. (1 Pet. 1:22). Without the purification of the soul, one cannot express the unfeigned love of the brethren. The heart has to be purified for fervent love to take place, and the heart is purified by obedience to the truths that are in Christ. The end of that purification is so that we can love fervently. A man that attains this is a charity man that is ready for the word of God. When such a man gets the word of God, he will become a greater lover. As such, it is a journey.
15. God is particular about us becoming one, and so is Satan. Satan is particular because it is such a man that will overcome him; it is a manchild—a company of many that have become one—that will overcome him. It takes continuous conversion into becoming little. The more we strive to become little, the less conflicts we would have. When life is our focus, we will be able to let go of many things. We should esteem others better than ourselves (Philipp. 2:3). To be low is a place of advantage and blessing in the realm of the spirit.
16. The revelation of Jesus Christ is a treasure. Once we have it, we do not need anything again and we should not trade it for anything. When we are focused on the promise, other things will become meaningless to us. For us to journey far in God, we need to be continuously converted to become little. The instructions that will enable us arrive in God will make us small and lose value, but we are actually becoming something in the spirit.
17. The prophets have a testimony which made them small. It was this nature that qualified them for the book. The book is also small, which is why it is called “the little book” (Rev. 10:9). The Godhead is hiding in that littleness, for that is their dwelling place. However, man has a problem with being small. As such, when we are despised, we defend ourselves, which makes spirits disrespect us. There is no gain in the spirit when we defend ourselves, for it only leads to us losing life.
18. There is a record that the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit bear (1 John 5:7). That record made Them one and Jesus came to bear that record as a man. As the Word, He had that record and as a man, He obeyed all truth and paid the price to bear that record. This is the reason He is seated on the throne, for He has the record of Eternal Life.
19. (Rev. 1:2). It is not only Jesus who bore the record, John also did. This tells us that a man can bear the record. That record is necessary for overcoming the dragon. What it does to us is to make us exactly like God. What the Godhead custode makes them completely different and distant from the dragon, and as such, he cannot tempt them. They have a kind of life that is superior to the dragon, which God wants us to partake of.
20. The emphasis is on oneness. We cannot force it, rather, we need to grow spiritually and do the things we are hearing. The Lord must lead us; He will always look for the people who can easily respond to His instructions. It is a blessing if God is giving you instructions because that is the way of escape from the dragon. Those instructions about losing our rights are blessings, and they are taking us to God.
21. The Godhead are children, but man has been given age by Satan, which has to be removed. This age is gotten by our achievements, reputation, what we own, and so on. However, we have been predestined to be adopted as a child, and this takes place through continuous birthing until we become little children. This is the little child who will not be distracted by anything when the dragon wants to consume him; he is very light and can easily ascend because nothing is holding him down.
22. When God wants to take us up, Satan knows what to do to bring us down because he has things in us that he can call out. However, we can drop these things by revelation and understanding God’s standards and ways. As we do these things, Satan’s things in us drop.
23. (Isa. 57:15). God is comfortable with hearts like this, even though He is the God of eternity. He is Eternal Life, but He can condescend into a contrite heart and a lowly soul. He can come and pitch His tent there and make an abode in it. We should be like Jesus and always condescend to men of low estate (Rom. 12:16). We should be able to befriend the high and raise the low; we should be a bridge between them so that the high will be humbled and the low will be raised.
Blessings!
