The Operation of the Ministry of the Throne

  Transcript Summary 

1. The operation of the throne of God is a manifestation of a dominion which is both everlasting and eternal. We will be seeing the dimensions of the ministry of the throne, which is the ministry of two lives. The first ministry is the ministry of life everlasting. There is no way one can have everlasting life outside the dispensing of the throne of God.

2. The reason for knowledge is to remove blindness, because knowledge is the balm against the first blindness. Knowledge is the first wisdom. Some people run away from God thinking they have everything because they have knowledge; we should never think we have finished knowing God. Eternity will come and we have not finished knowing God. Even though one has Eternal Life, he does not know everything about the eternal dimension.

3. (Jude 1:21). This is the cross to Life Eternal. Ministry flows from God, but it is clear from the New Testament that we cannot receive God directly without a ministry that will give God. Someone must be present to mediate or broker God to us, to make us get God (Heb. 8:13, Heb. 12:24). There can never be the giving of life outside ministry. If ministry is highlighted, then there must be order, an arranged pattern of how life should be shed. 

4. The throne of God is established in life. “God” and “His throne” implies God and his order on how He issues life. The principle that manages life is the throne, which is the ministry of life. When God is seated on the throne, it suggests to us that God does not just get anything done anyhow. That tells us that the whole universe is orderly. Everything is set in their order. Everything is ordered by God, even the minutest detail of any being is ordered by Him.

5. (Matt. 5:8-9). One must have life to be pure. To have a pure heart does not mean one will see God but it is like a prerequisite for to see God. A man needs pure heart and peace to see God. Seeing the Lord is engaging, preparation or a call to come to attend to the ministry of life. Going to the throne is a serious thing.

6. The warfare is a throne warring with the throne. Lucifer who fell, was a kind of throne, he understood the methodology and principles guiding ministry. When you have ascended and are exposed to know the true ministry, you would not  desire those wrong appetites for ministry here. Satan bargains with men using a lying definition of ministries. Satan is intentionally painting a lying picture of ministry to veil the Church, and Satan is fighting against the Nigerian Church because he is afraid of what is about to happen.

7. Satan is planning to ascend to heaven (Isaiah 14:13), yet he is the one convincing men to descend. Satan was offering all the glories of this world to Jesus but he is looking for ascension. It means what he is looking for is more than what he is offering and he knows that the man has what he is looking for. All that Satan wants to take from us is what he is looking for. We must constantly ask ourselves what we are looking for. 

8. There is a ministry warring against ministry, not against the Lamb but against us from receiving true ministry. First of all, ministry is more than administration here. That side is governance but ministry is first of all impartation of gifts – giving things to people. Ministry is more than giving (output from man), ministry is receiving from Him: it is called beholding Him. 

9. (Rev. 21:18). If it is a glass, it means it is a ministry to nations to behold her. The City is a whole ministry that people will be holding. So pure gold here is not physical gold (Revelations 21:18), it is people. People will be so clear that you will see God in them. You will need to be clear so that that which covers God will no longer cover Him: that is exaltation. When something is as clear as glass, you see through it without any form of darkness; it is transparent.

10. The purpose of thrones is to shed spirit. Jesus is seated on the throne of God, which means Jesus has been given authority to give the throne. Being seated is not resting from ministry. Jesus went to heaven to go and do ministry and the way and manner He will do ministry is to sit. The purpose of Jesus being made to sit, is that Jesus is set to operate office, He is given a room on the throne in the New Testament age. 

11. (Heb. 1:2-3). The things being upheld here are not the angels or heaven, for He does not need to uphold these. All things that are held by Him are the very reality of God, which the Father gave to Him to hold. There is a way Jesus held them to die for them, but there is a way He is holding them now, which is at a higher degree. The Father gave them to Him, He inherited them, and now has the power to give them to whosoever He wills.

12. (Rom. 16:26). The secrets of God are unveiled through the ministration of the word. The Sower does not give the seed instantly; it may take years for the seed to come. The seed firstly comes with the light of the seed, then the word of the seed before the real seed itself. Immediately he sows that seed, he has given the seed. Sowing the word is not the end of the process, for there are convictions that will break forth the fruit of the seed.

13. The word of God is a way; it is spirit, not letter. There is another thing called the power of the word, which is the covenant. One cannot have all things except by the word and power. Thus, there is no inheritance without word and power. Jesus is upholding all things by the word of His power and this is the everlasting word. Jesus is set as a High Priest to give the everlasting word to the children of God in the Sanctuary. That is why He was dedicated to adopt them into the Most Holy – it is to teach them the word and lead them to power.

14. One is not a priest fully with the word only; a priest needs to come into law to be fully raised. It is the law that gives one liberty as a priest. The full freedom of a priest comes through his law. The word of a priest is the secret of his power; it is the key to accessing all things. One must know and have the word. To have the word is to have a kind of a spirit. The secret of the covenant is the spirit, which is the way. 

15. The word is a different secret from knowledge. The opening of the eyes to the word is the opening of the eye to way and not precept; it is empowering men to see spirits. To see in the realm of the spirit is to see spirits that are in the spirit. There are spirits in the realm of the spirit, which have names and we should know them in the New Testament. To have the word of God is to have the way of God. One who has the word of God does not yet have the life of God fully, but only has the partial strength of life. To get the full life of God, one must get covenant.

16. When covenant is attained, one can journey fully to life. Immediately one lays hold on the word, such a person has come into the secret of the covenant. Sometimes, when scriptures refer to secret things, they are not referring to knowledge but spirits that God is, that God has and that God wants to give. We are coming to a place where it will be difficult for people not to change; where we will come to an access of strength that will strip Satan from people. This is because Satan is also conceited in word and covenant. 

17. (Matt. 6:13). There are three things: kingdom, power, and glory. Kingdom is the word of God, power is the covenant, and glory is life. One who has found life has found glory. Man needs deliverance, but there is no total deliverance until one has found the Kingdom. The kingdom of God is in different expressions. The least in the Kingdom is the person in kingdom, the second is one that is in power and the greatest in the Kingdom is the one in glory. One who is in power is in covenant, but that is not the end, for if the work of power is thoroughly done in him, such a person will find glory. 

18. The Father gave ministry to Jesus and Jesus is giving ministry to us. To give ministry is to give life and it starts with giving the word of life. In the word of life are the secrets and ways of life. The path of life is the word of life (Psa. 16:11). The fullness of joy is the fullness of life. Everlasting life does not come easy, for it is through the ministry of the Son of God.

19. The ministry of the Son of God is not the ministry of the Holy Ghost. The ministry of the Holy Ghost ends in the Sanctuary. Jesus needs sons of the Sanctuary so He can save them to the uttermost (Heb. 7:25). There are those who are called to minister with the Holy Ghost through Jesus. The Holy Ghost will raise people who will hear the Son of God, who have capacity to receive from the throne of Jesus and can minister the throne of God. 

20. God is giving ministry to make us kings and priests unto our God, which is to raise us as thrones. The purpose of this raising is not for the natural, but to give us a placement in the spirit. God will give those who He has raised as kings and priests the ability to govern nations in the spirit. We do not govern men directly, rather, we deal with the kings (sin and death) over men. When those spirits are overcome, the men they held captive will come to those who overcame those spirits.
