The Two-Fold Ministry of the Son of God
Tongues and Interpretation (1)
“A portion of the meal. A portion of the meal. A portion of the meal has been given unto you for to dispense, for to dispense even to My people. Given you a portion, given you a portion. A portion that is even in the whole meal, even in the whole meal, yea, in the whole pool, in the whole pool, yea, in that pool that you swim in, that pool, even in the wake of your father, even in the wake of your father. You are in his wake. You are in his wake and in that wake, you have seen the meal. You have seen a portion of the meal that you have been raised and fashioned to dispense. So dispense, let My people eat. Let My people eat, feed My sheep, feed My lambs. Feed My sheep even from the meal that you have received in the wake of your father, in the wake of your father, in the wake of your father whom you are following.
It is the meat meal. Give them this meat meal. Let them eat. Let them eat. Feed, feed, feed, feed them. Capacity to feed them, capacity to feed, capacity to feed them all. All will eat, all will eat, all will have a portion to eat. Sit down, make them sit down and divide the bread. Divide it before the five thousand. Piece it up and we will gather spoils. We will gather spoils, we will gather baskets afterwards. Piece it up, divide it. It is a meal, even in the wake of your father, says the Spirit of God.”

“You hear the sound. You hear the sound. You hear the sound. You can hear it. You can hear it. You can hear it, so speak that sound. The sound is the meal. The meal is the sound. It is the sound of He who is come, he who is come. You hear Him. You hear Him and you speak that which He is saying to you. You speak that which He is saying to you. You speak that which He has put in your heart and in your mouth to give to His people. Sound it out. Sound it. Sound it. Sound it. You should sound it. You should sound it. Sound it. Sound it out.

This year’s Believer’s Convention has been an awesome meeting from the beginning. The download has been so immense and it has been very clear that the Son of God is come. This ministry (of the Son of God) coming to us is mercy finding us. God can choose to hold this ministry back from us and things will still be happening in the Church. This teaching is not just by looking at the Bible. Rather, it is an experience where God led a man, a woman and other fathers in the company of the word of righteousness to a place where Jesus can be brought back to earth.
We will need a lot of alignment in the spirit this season; a lot of being under, because the days ahead are going to be very tough. We should be in alignment and must discern spiritual authorities as much as we have grace to be under. In the days ahead, God will bring clarity to us on how to discern people in the spirit. God will begin to make us have conversations of the world to come now, and we will begin to see dignitaries in the spirit. There are ranks in the spirit, and we have to learn them. The ministry of the Son of God would be incomplete without these ranks, so we would have to be set in order in the spirit.

“Gem! Gem!! Gem!!! For I arise even from My Throne, even from the Throne of My Father. I arise even from the throne of Him who is as a jasper and a sardine stone, and I come even to take My place, even My office, even the office of My ministry even to My church, even to My church, even to the Church that is ready even to receive Me. I have come even to remove things that look like ministry that is of Me, that is from Me but not really of Me, not really from Me.
I have come to bring definitions, accurate definitions of My work, even My ministry, even My ministry to the Church. See Me paint My works. See Me paint even My ministry. Ministry. My ministry. My ministry. My elevated ministry. My ministry that is come even to your midst, that is come even to the Church. See My ministry, see My elevated ministry, even ministry from the realm of majesty. See the ministry, even the ministry of glory.”

John 1:18
“No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.”
The burden of this meeting is not a theme, but an announcement that is worthy of note. We should not say, “the Son of God is coming”, but “the Son of God is come”. We must become aware of His presence in our midst. He will be part of our meetings. It is only those who are waiting for Him that will know that He is come. His appearance is not first to everyone but for them that are eagerly waiting for Him. It is not just imagination.
Hebrews 9:28
“So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.”
This Son of God is come unto them that look for Him. “Eagerly waiting” is not in prayer – it is a posture in the spirit. You must be built to a place where you can see Him. The Son is already ministering. This burden is more than when we appear in the cloud. It is to note that Jesus has taken His ministry. Our Lord Jesus is a minister. He has a ministry, and every soul must receive that ministry. God, by His provision, has made us appreciate the ministry of the Holy Ghost. It is part of the build up. There is a ministry that the Holy Spirit is preparing us for.
The ministry of the Holy Spirit is more than the gifts of the Holy Ghost. It is possible for a believer not to know the ministry of the Holy Ghost throughout his lifetime and enjoy the gifts. The gifts are to pep the soul, to make one know that he can be supernatural. But much more, the Holy Ghost has it in mind to change the soul. The ministry of the Holy Ghost is to change the soul texture. The first person that takes ministry is the Holy Spirit.
Recall that when it was time for God to create man, He said, “…Let us make man in our image, after our likeness…”(Gen. 1:26). Note the term ‘our’, implying that they would do it together. The “Us” as in this Scripture is what John referred to in 1 John 5:7, “For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.” However, man fell from this plan of God and Satan hijacked ministry from God through sin. But when Jesus died and resurrected, He brought man back to God’s original plan. Jesus redeemed us. The word “redemption” in Yoruba is “ìràpadà” which means “to buy back”. So, He bought us back for the original intention and purpose. There is something at stake. Whatever made the Godhead to be involved in becoming flesh cannot be something small. After Jesus completed the course for buying man back, His statement to the apostles in Matthew 28 was to bring back God’s original intention.
Matthew 28:18-19
“And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. [19] Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost…”
Our Lord Jesus was the Word in the beginning, but then became flesh and later became the Son. So this Scripture can be likened to Genesis 1:26. Matthew 28:19 is not a formula for water baptism. In fact, the apostles did not baptize “in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost”; rather, they baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. Rather, this scripture speaks of an allocation of nature; name is nature. It is so that, at the end of the day, every soul will have the imprint and dealings of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost. Because of our low level, the Holy Spirit had to be the first person of the Godhead to take up the ministry of making man (Gen. 1:26).
Genesis 6:3
“And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.”
Man descended so much from the estate where God formed him and became flesh. It means, though God was working in men to a degree, the work was truncated until after resurrection. In the upper room, after the Holy Ghost fell, Peter stood up among the eleven and took up a navigation in the spirit; just like what we are doing today is a navigation in the spirit.
Acts 2:14-17
“But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judæa, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words: [15] For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day. [16] But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; [17] And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: And your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, And your young men shall see visions, And your old men shall dream dreams…”
Man’s state was flesh. One of the Godhead had to come take man up from the fleshly state and do the ministry of changing flesh. Flesh here does not refer to the human body but the state of the soul. The ministry of the Spirit is to change a soul’s state from flesh to spirit. Flesh nature is what we refer to as carnal nature.
1 Corinthians 3:1
“And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.”
A carnal soul has to be made spiritual. It is not by prayer only. It is not by praying in tongues for lengthy hours. Although those things are important, it takes the Holy Ghost to feed a soul with milk to change it from being a carnal man to a spiritual man. We have had a breakthrough in the church because we have known the ministry of the Spirit to a degree. However we need to begin to see again that Jesus has a ministry. The mind of an average believer in the Church believes that the Holy Ghost will prepare us while Jesus will take us home. But what will really happen is that the Holy Ghost will prepare us and Jesus will come and work further. Jesus is a minister and He needs to take up ministry.
Hebrews 8:1-2
“Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens; [2] A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man.”
The Hebrew church is the same church in the upper room that received the baptism of the Holy Spirit in Acts 2; they were Jews. In Hebrews 8, Paul was magnifying Jesus. It is likely that the Hebrew church did not know Jesus as the High Priest. An average Jewish mind expected the coming of the Messiah to deliver Israel from their enemies. So, Paul was explaining this high priestly ministry of Jesus in Hebrews 8.
Hebrews 8:6
“But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.”
Oftentimes, the ministry of Jesus we know of is His earthly ministry. When they say, “He is come”, it means different things to different people. The sanctuary is the Holy place while the true tabernacle is the Most Holy place. Jesus Christ has ministry in two places: the sanctuary and the true tabernacle. The ministry of the High Priest is in the Most Holy place. God’s plan is not to have just one man come to the Most Holy place, but to have all men come.
Psalm 84:7
“They go from strength to strength, Every one of them in Zion appeareth before God.”
Appearing before God is not only when we come to church. It is to come to the Most Holy place. It is your destiny in Christ that you should become a most holy entity.
Hebrews 6:18-20
“That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us: [19] Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil; [20] Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.”
John 1:18
“No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.”
The ministry of the Son is to declare God – it is for the declaration of God. The ministry of the Son is the declaration of His Father and the declaration of His God. Those are the two-fold ministry of the Son of God. These two are not the same thing. Recall what He told Mary when He rose from the dead.
John 20:17
“Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.”
The elites in the spirit (those whom Jesus raised and trained) who wrote the scriptures had a way of greeting: “Blessed be the God and the Father of our Lord Jesus…” (Eph. 1:3). When Jesus was on earth, He always referred to God as “My Father”. That was the light He was using to live, so it was not a mistake. That was His entrance. As babies, we say many things, but as we grow, we understand better how to make divisions in the spirit. It was on the cross Jesus first said, “My God” (Matt. 27:46). On the cross, He entered another programme. In the grave, Jesus was knowing God though it was not physically visible. When He rose from the dead, that knowledge of God blossomed more. That was when He got Eternal Life.
John 17:4-5
“I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do. [5] And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.”
This was Jesus asking for Eternal Life before He went to the cross. If Jesus had Eternal Life on earth He would not have died because Eternal Life cannot be killed. Jesus was asking for what God had promised (Titus 1:2). He was running the programme of the Father on earth but towards death, He began to run the programme of God. When Jesus resurrected from the dead, He was glorified. What He told Mary was not an ordinary statement but a word that would be an ordinance to all His brethren – not just the 11 but also for everyone who would be among His brethren (John 20:17). They would have to know that there is “My Father” and “My God”. So the greetings to the churches in the epistles were declarations of the ministry of the Son of God. The Son of God is the minister of God— the only One that can administer and declare God.
His Father is the everlasting God and His God is the Eternal God. The two-fold ministry of the Son is to declare both the everlasting God and the Eternal God. The everlasting God is the fatherhood of God. The Eternal God cannot be known; creation can never know Him. It is the everlasting God that creates.
Isaiah 40:28
“Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.”
To create, the Eternal God had to condescend to everlasting God. Even as the everlasting God, there is a limit to which creation can know Him. If you know Him fully as the everlasting God, you will be saved. The everlasting God is the God of salvation. The two-fold ministry of the Son is to declare His Father, which is the first ministry that He would bring to His brethren, and then declare His God.
Hebrews 2:12
Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee.
The twofold ministry of the Son is for the brethren. It is a knowing that the Son of God is come. What He is doing presently is the declaration of His Father. He has been declaring the Father for a while. We are marking a new spiritual and prophetic calendar in the spirit. As a Community, we are in the final phase of the declaration of His Father. The final phase of the declaration of the father is in 1 John 5:20.
His Father is the everlasting God. The everlasting God is both the living God and the true God.
Jeremiah 10:10
“But the LORD is the true God, he is the living God, and an everlasting king: at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his indignation.”
This is our destiny. We are created and destined to know God, to know all of God. This is our curriculum: that knowing God has been committed to Jesus. It is a shame if a person does not know God (1 Cor. 15:34).
1 Thessalonians 1:9
“For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God…”
The true God is the end of knowing the everlasting God. Then, the Eternal God is more than the true God (John 17:3.) Jesus defined Eternal Life Himself. The only true God is higher than the true God (which is the key to knowing the only true God). Jesus is the Apostle of Eternal Life. He is the sent One. If Jesus does not come, we cannot know the only true God and cannot receive everlasting life nor Eternal Life. As Jesus appears, life comes.
John 10:10
“The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.”
Jesus is leading this community to the final phase of the everlasting God. Because of the necessity of the times, some have to come to the reign of life, so that they can preserve many. He is come that we may know Him that is true (1 John 5:20); so that some people would attain the incorruptible life and in turn, preserve many.
The ministry now is to ‘certain some’ in the true tabernacle and many in the sanctuary. It is to prepare many for entrance into the most holy place. Jesus has ministry in the sanctuary, and when He enters the sanctuary, what Jesus comes to do in the sanctuary is to bring living light. The sons of the sanctuary are spiritual people who are already in life and peace.
In terms of precepts, many of us can define everlasting life and Eternal Life. Now, to the sons of the Sanctuary, He is bringing the experience. Lines are for experience and lines will follow precepts.
Isaiah 28:10-11
“For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little: [11] For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people.”
Psalms 16:6
“The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places ; yea, I have a goodly heritage.”
We need knowledge. Without precepts, lines cannot fall unto us in pleasant places. The son of God is bringing an experience of the living light to us.
Malachi 3:3
“And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the Lord an offering in righteousness.”
Why He will sit in the sanctuary is to come and work. What we should demand is significant dominion over the flesh. His sitting in that sanctuary is to raise men who have dominion over the flesh. For some of us, we still vary in our Christ walk such that when we are under life’s pressure, we borrow flesh and use the life of flesh, that is to say we are not yet at peace with Christ as our life. We must journey to the point where our default response is the life of Christ. When He sits in the sanctuary, He wants to see everything new. Christ must be the life. Jesus wants to see men who have full dominion over the flesh; those who have crucified the flesh.
Romans 13:14
“But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.”
This is the prosperity of the ministry of Jesus in the sanctuary. The ministry of Jesus has prospered when one cannot use flesh anymore.
The man God lost in the garden is the living soul. Jesus can make a man to be a Christ and move him up further to attain a living soul. Beyond that, He can still make the man a true soul; a soul that is incorruptible, undefiled, and unfading.
The Son of God will use every circumstance around us for our growth. At particular junctures when we feel we are okay and without warfares, He will bring other circumstances around us. This is His mercy to push us higher or into another chapter in the spirit. We would have to go through the test. Nobody will gain entrance into the Most Holy without being examined. If it seems like a brother is cheating or hurting you, use that as an avenue to walk in love and attain spiritual growth. Use everything for growth and spiritual attainment.
Message Ends.
Reverend Kayode Oyegoke Rounding Off
After tonight, you should not go back home the same. We must make decisions to drop some expressions of the flesh. Do not be afraid to stand in that place where you are completely stripped.
A time is coming when people will begin to die themselves to this world. It will be clear. There is going to be a savour that will hit the earth, and men will be tired of being earth-dwellers. God is bringing help to humanity to make us hate the works of the devil. In those days to come, if any man does not get tired of being an earth-dweller, he will be nearer to his doom. We must keep striving until every fiber of our being hates this world. It is possible. Dying is not physical death, but death (insensitivity) to flesh.
Many are still in the sanctuary. The sorting of the jewels in the holy place is gradual, according to ranking. The ranking in the spirit is according to how you are willing to submit yourself to be helped by the Lamb. There is a zeal and a fiery passion with which Jesus comes into the sanctuary to save. There is a love as cruel as the grave (SOS 8:6. Heb. 12:28-29). His fire is a good fire that should burn us and purify us.
