0:00Apologizing to God is not enough. They
0:02are not telling us the whole truth.
0:04They're promising you blessing in
0:06iniquity, it will not work.
0:08>> The God of the Bible, no. Unless you're
0:11talking about Satan.
0:12>> Welcome to Dominion Mandates, a platform
0:14where we awaken a deep hunger for the
0:16pursuit of God and equip believers to
0:18dominate their world for Christ. Here we
0:20dive into the word of God, explore
0:22timeless truth, and ignite a passion for
0:24spiritual growth, purpose, and kingdom
0:26influence. This is not just another
0:27channel. It's a movement. That's what I
0:29came tonight to do. So,
0:32two major ingredients are required to
0:35produce genuine salvation. Two major
0:38ingredients. Then there's a third one
0:40that you add to seal it.
0:47Uh Hebrews chapter 6, let me read for
0:50you. These are foundational doctrines of
0:53Christianity. Watch. Therefore, living
0:55the principles of the doctrines of
0:57Christ. That what he's calling the the
0:59elementary or the foundation
1:02and let us go to perfection. Perfection
1:04is maturity.
1:07Once you start moving to maturity, you
1:08are now doing development. Well, let's
1:10deal with foundation. Not laying again.
1:13You see the first foundation is the
1:15foundation of what? Repentance from dead
1:18works. What does it mean for dead works?
1:20Sin. Things that kill people. Things
1:22that people do that leads to death.
1:26things that people do that brings God's
1:29judgment. Things that people do that
1:31bring the w of God. Things that people
1:32do to violate God's moral laws.
1:37The first foundation if you build the
1:39Christian life or your building is going
1:41to be right is the foundation of
1:43repentance. There is no moving an inch
1:45until you get it right.
1:49The second foundation which combines
1:52with repentance to create salvation is
1:54faith towards God. Do you see it? You
1:58repent for your sins. Then you put your
2:00faith in the finished work of Christ.
2:02Watch what is going on with the today's
2:04church. I want you to know why we're
2:05talking about reformation. And this
2:07final reformation is for foundation
2:09built all the way up. You can't start
2:11building from the roof because a lot of
2:13mess has happened. [snorts]
2:19When it comes to salvation,
2:22to get the foundation right, you start
2:24with these two.
2:26What is going on today? They just tell
2:28you, "Believe in Jesus. Accept Jesus
2:30into your life." And so they remove
2:32repentance. And so what happens that
2:34people move from the world into the
2:36church unchanged, the same old person.
2:39Meanwhile, if anyone is in Christ, he is
2:42what? A new creation.
2:46So the ingredients the Holy Spirit needs
2:48to create a brand new man is missing and
2:51he's not able to do that. The spirit of
2:53God is real active ingredients but he
2:56needs repentance mixed with faith in God
3:00to produce a new creation.
3:04Okay. It is God that created you is it
3:05not? Who created you? God or your
3:08parents?
3:09>> God.
3:10>> Are you sure your parents didn't create?
3:12>> No. My parents rocket. They gave birth
3:14to me. But God created me.
3:15>> No. No. I need to be sure. Who created
3:17you? Your parents or God?
3:18>> God.
3:19>> God. Are you sure of that?
3:22>> Yes sir. But you see your parents
3:24provided two elements? Your mom provided
3:27the egg, the ovary. Your father provided
3:29the seed that fertilized the ovary. That
3:32is what the parents that are leading
3:34people to Christ. The spiritual people,
3:37brothers and sisters trying to win
3:39people to Christ must provide them. If
3:42any of those ingredients is missing, a
3:44human life will not be created.
3:49What if it's only egg? What you're going
3:51to see is blood every end of the month.
3:53Blood, blood, blood. You call it period.
3:55Anytime you see that blood, that's a
3:57life that was not created.
4:00And this what we seen all over the
4:02church. Blood, blood, blood, blood.
4:04There's an attempt, but it doesn't
4:06produce a result.
4:10Every time you make it only the male
4:13whatever what you're going to be seeing
4:14is milk milky stuff spam spam spam no
4:19charge
4:24is the same thing with the spiritual
4:25life.
4:29So what you have is a group of preachers
4:31that have emerged in the last days only
4:33talking about grace grace. grace.
4:40Excuse me.
4:42Maybe I should read that scripture
4:43again. Is it not John 1:17? Please put
4:46it up. The law came by Moses. So they
4:48want to get rid of the law. Okay. At
4:50least provide the two things that Jesus
4:52provided.
4:55Grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
5:02Truth is what when preached will produce
5:05conviction and repentance.
5:11Then grace will provide the remission of
5:14sin and salvation.
5:20So people are no more repenting.
5:23People are going from one level of sin
5:25to another and getting hardened.
5:30You have not preached the gospel till
5:32you have preached repentance.
5:34Neither have you preached the gospel
5:36till you have preached the cross.
5:44And you will not help the people even if
5:46they give you a thousand years to be
5:47preaching to them. You see, I don't want
5:49anybody who have sat through who have
5:53sat under us to end up going to hell.
5:56And I don't want anybody who has been
5:58through this. But you know when I go to
5:59a doctor, I want to be treated. I don't
6:02want you to massage my sickness. I want
6:05to be fine.
6:09I don't want you to give me fake drugs.
6:11You see, when I go to church, I'm I'm
6:13not coming to church. I come to church
6:14for salvation. I don't want you to give
6:15me fake gospel,
6:20give me fake drugs.
6:26because I want to be saved. I want to be
6:28treated. I want to be well
6:36because the people that are creating the
6:37confusion are telling you is the gospel
6:39of grace. You don't need repentance.
6:40This is the authority of grace. Now it's
6:42Paul that is teaching. They say it's
6:43Paul that they are following.
6:46We are following Paul and Pis. See Paul
6:48talking that what he preached everywhere
6:51both to Jews and to the Gentiles [music]
6:53is repentance towards God and what faith
6:57in our Lord Jesus Christ. I showed you
6:58in the foundational doctrines that after
7:00repentance from sin and dead works then
7:03you put your faith in Christ then you
7:07are saved.
7:18If not, what you will have is a person
7:20that just moved from the world to
7:21church, join church, but has not joined
7:23heaven,
7:25has not joined God's kingdom.
7:34And in the great commission Luke 24, and
7:37he said to them, this is what Jesus was
7:38explaining how to preach to his
7:40disciples. He said thus it is written
7:42thus he behold Christ to suffer to rise
7:45from the dead the third day watch
7:48that repentance and what the remission
7:51of sin be preached in his name among all
7:54nations the man giving us the commission
7:56what we are to preach
7:59you preach for people to repent
8:02then you they put their faith in the
8:04sacrifice remember how sin is atoned for
8:07I've given you blood on the altar to
8:09make atonement for sin Then it is when
8:11you explain that they can have faith in
8:13what Christ has done for them.
8:18So now what you have is diagnosis and
8:20cure.
8:27And failure to do this is why we now
8:29have corrupt Christianity, corrupt
8:31pastors, corrupt because they have not
8:33changed.
8:38That brings me to a second point. What
8:41are the ingredients of repentance? Four
8:43elements. Genuine repentance has four
8:46elements. Okay, you put up proverbs 28
8:49verse
8:5013. You see two of the elements there.
8:55He that coverth his sin shall not
8:56prosper. He that confessth and forsaketh
8:59them. Two of them are mentioned here. Uh
9:02but I wanted to show them godly sorrow
9:05brings repentance
9:08is different from the sorrow of this
9:10world.
9:12Sorrow of this world is regret.
9:14They catch arm robbers. They regret that
9:16they were caught. They are not sorry for
9:18people they have killed. They are not
9:20sorry for all the damages they have
9:21caused. They are just sorry that they
9:23are caught.
9:25That's not repentance.
9:28Don't wait till you're caught before you
9:29repent. For most people, it's too late.
9:33You watch
9:36these two brothers, Esau and Jacob.
9:40Jacob said, "Sell your betright." The
9:42Bible say he sold his bed right, ate a
9:44pot of porridge and walked away like
9:47nothing happened. No remorse, no
9:49nothing. But the day the inheritance
9:51will be shared. The inheritance went to
9:53Jacob, that's the day he started crying.
9:55That one God does not accept.
9:58Everybody hell is crying now. But it's
9:59no more repentance. They're crying
10:01because they are now in punishment.
10:07So the first thing in repentance is
10:08godly sorrow.
10:11Now I rejoice that you were made sorry.
10:14But that you were sorrow to repentance.
10:16For you were made sorry after a godly
10:18manner that you might receive you might
10:21receive damage by us in nothing. For
10:24godly sorrow walketh repentance to
10:27salvation, not to be repented of, but
10:30the sorrow of the world walketh death.
10:34Godly sorrow is not just regret.
10:36Somebody's truly sorry.
10:40And you see a genuine repentance is not
10:44just based on what sin did to you.
10:52I've been drinking, getting drunk, and
10:53now I had an accident and broke my leg.
10:55So, you are sorry for your leg that is
10:57broken. No, genuine repentance first of
10:59all is sorry towards how your sin has
11:01provoked God. The damages you have done
11:03to his heart. Person that loves you,
11:05that made you. So, that makes you come
11:08before him with that's what that
11:10prodigal son was saying. I've seen
11:12against heaven and against thee. When
11:14David was repenting in Psalm 51, he
11:16said, "Against thee and only thee have I
11:19done this evil." Second thing, genuine
11:22repentance also considers what your sin
11:24has done to other people.
11:29It is at the third level you can look at
11:30what he may have cost you.
11:34And you know people can repent before
11:36before their consequences arrive. So at
11:38that moment they may not have seen the
11:40result in their own life.
11:44If you're waiting till you see the
11:45damage, sometimes you're waiting for too
11:47long.
11:50So the first principle of repentance is
11:52godly sorrow. If you say sorry but you
11:55are not sorry as if you do confession
11:57but you're not sorry, you have not
11:59repented.
12:02I hope you know how sometimes parents
12:04want to settle quarry. They said tell
12:05your brother you are sorry that maybe
12:08agree. Tell him that you're sorry. It's
12:09okay. Sorry you're not sorry.
12:14You don't want to be flogged. So,
12:17and then when your parents are not
12:18around, you go and give the guy enough.
12:23So, the first principle of repentance is
12:25godly sorrow. Godly sorrow that David
12:28said, a broken and a contrite heart, God
12:30will never bypass.
12:35Second is confession. Then you confess
12:37it to God.
12:43and ask for his forgiveness.
12:47You apologize to him. And in confession,
12:50what you do is acknowledge your sin and
12:52then ask for forgiveness. If you justify
12:55your sin, you have not repented. If you
12:57go there and say it's because that boy
12:59came and slept in our house, that's why
13:00I fell. You have not repented. Stop
13:02giving excuses for your sin. You make
13:04excuses for your sin, you have not
13:05repented. You find a way to explain away
13:08your sin. You are not repented.
13:12Stop making excuses for your sins.
13:15Acknowledge them that you did wrong and
13:17then ask for God's mercy. The third key
13:20to repentance is what that proverbs was
13:22saying. He that confessed and forsake
13:25it, then you have to renounce turn one.
13:28You know what is called 180° turn. You
13:31turn the other you turn away from those
13:33sins. You break free from them. That
13:35means you stop doing it.
13:38So coming to the altar to tell God sorry
13:40then you go back and continue for where
13:42you stop is not repentance. You see
13:44these are the deceptions of today's
13:46church and Christianity.
13:55He that confessed and forsake it will
13:58have mercy.
14:10What if somebody is sleeping with a
14:12married woman, maybe you are even
14:13messing around, maybe the woman gives
14:15you money, so you are I don't know what
14:18they call them.
14:20And you hear the word of God, you come
14:22and you come to the altar and tell God
14:24how sorry you are. How did I get myself?
14:26I'm so I'm so heartbroken. I'm shattered
14:28that God, please get me. Forgive me.
14:31cleanse me. Get me out of this. And then
14:33the service end. You return back to her
14:35house.
14:37Are you crazy? You cannot go back there.
14:40It's from there to a new accommodation.
14:42I don't know where I will sleep. You
14:44don't have to know
14:47if I have to squat for a while. I don't
14:48care. One lady told me, "But my
14:51properties are still in his house." I
14:54said, "Take somebody with you and go
14:56during the day to pick your properties.
14:58Take somebody with you.
15:04The secret of sin, the strength, the
15:06power of sin is secrecy. As long as you
15:09provide the right environment, it
15:10becomes so overwhelming and people think
15:12this thing is so powerful, I can't stop.
15:14No.
15:15Destroy the habitat you created for it.
15:19Introduce accountability into your word
15:20and you see that that thing is not as
15:22powerful as you think.
15:26Cuz I remember a girl that was telling a
15:28story of her repenting, giving her life
15:30to Christ. He said, "But I now went, you
15:32know, I didn't have a commission. I just
15:34just went at least let me take my
15:35things." And he was begging me. He said,
15:37"Please." And I said, "No, I don't want
15:39this nonsense again." Then the guy
15:41nailed down. I held her on the waist. He
15:43said, "It's just this one. Only one one
15:46just once."
15:50He said, "And I decided to just pity him
15:53now.
16:06these three usually solves the problem.
16:09Godly sorrow, confession and then turn
16:11away from that sin. But there is a
16:14fourth element in repentance. Modern
16:16church hardly talk about it. In many
16:18situations you have to do it. In some
16:20situations there's very little that can
16:23be done. the damages have been done. It
16:25is you know but in many situation it is
16:28called making amends. It's called
16:31restitution.
16:37Everybody in the front lift up your
16:38hands. You can close your eyes. We all
16:41worshiping and meet close. Then this
16:43phone disappears.
16:47Now open your eyes.
16:51I just got a new phone
16:56but tomorrow I repent
17:02when you finish repenting. You see the
17:03same way you collected the phone you go
17:06and do what and return. You said how you
17:09tell them is different. There are some
17:11situations where you know ah you know
17:14yesterday's service we found a missing
17:17phone
17:19after the people left we actually and we
17:21be looking for and it looks like it's
17:23from among three of you. Can you check
17:29but there's a type of damage I will have
17:30done to you. I need to approach you and
17:34tell you sorry apologizing to God is not
17:37enough.
17:41Clap. [applause]
17:47Let me tell you guys why I'm teaching
17:49you this one. Security so that no matter
17:52what happens, you make heaven. But I
17:54will also tell you, you see that
17:55prosperity that you guys are looking for
17:57and all the success. The first step to
18:00restoration is repentance.
18:03They are not telling us the whole truth.
18:05They're promising you blessing in
18:07iniquity. He will not work.
18:09>> The God of the Bible. No. Unless you're
18:12talking about Satan.
18:25Maybe power was in my hand. I dispossess
18:28you of your land, brutalize you because
18:31I am just a senator, governor, whatever.
18:34And I want to repent. and I've heard the
18:37gospel. I tell Jesus, "I'm sorry. I've
18:39given you my life. Return the man's
18:42land. You can't finish giving your life
18:43to Jesus and be living on the man's
18:45land." And he's at home crying, asking
18:47God for justice. Divine justice will
18:50still catch you.
18:55[applause] There's power in the gospel.
18:57If we will preach it, if we will preach
18:59it correctly, there's power. The Bible
19:01said the gospel is the power of God unto
19:04what?
19:08You've been with me PCJ. I'm leading
19:10people to Christ. Blind eyes are
19:11opening. As you lead them through
19:13genuine repentance, the power of Satan
19:15start breaking off.
19:19We have not started praying for the
19:20sickness.
19:30You see, because there are certain
19:31things some of us have doubled it, but
19:32we have damaged another person's life.
19:34Okay, you have repented, but there is a
19:37boy
19:38and it's your child, but you deny the
19:40girl. Oh, you say it's not your baby.
19:42It's not. Let's assume you did that when
19:44you were living in your parents house.
19:45Let's assume you did that because you
19:46were afraid at that time. Let's assume
19:48you threw away that baby because you
19:50were a single girl. You were afraid of
19:52what your parents will do. Now that you
19:53have known Christ, go back and find that
19:55baby and become a mother to that child.
19:57If not that child is going to go through
19:59life causing whosoever get birth to
20:02going through whatever and the mother is
20:03now a pastor the mother is now spirit
20:05field the mother is in church shouting
20:07hallelujah mean you have created a
20:08problem to society a child that is going
20:10to end up a prostitute end up with no no
20:13go back and take that responsibility and
20:16raise your child
20:25of our pastors had a 14 year old boy
20:27because he denied the boy, denied the
20:28mother. One day he had this he came, he
20:31said, "How will I come out in tell them
20:34I had a boy out of?" I said, "Those are
20:36the people that are saints, not the ones
20:38who cover their sins."
20:41Saints were once sinners.
20:47I said, "Go and bring your boy."
20:50Apologize to the mother. Apologize to
20:52the boy. Tell the boy, I was a young
20:54boy. like I didn't know how to go about
20:56I was confused but because of Jesus the
20:58truth came into me that's why I have
21:00came back for you and I'm sorry that boy
21:02will also give his life to Christ if he
21:04knows that is Jesus coming into your
21:06life that restored his father to him
21:11then if you go you're jumping up and
21:12down your whatever maybe one day he even
21:16grows up to find out you say you see now
21:23the world is looking for authenticity
21:25from the church. Authenticity is not
21:28that I've never made a mistake.
21:29Authenticity is that I'm man enough
21:32to own to my mistakes and take care of
21:35business.
21:37That's why God loves David.
21:43You know what will happen to our society
21:44when we restore this truth?
21:49We say we have 100 million Christians
21:51and uh we have churches everywhere. And
21:54society is getting worse. What is the
21:56problem?
21:59The ones who are in Christ and the ones
22:01who are in the world, there is no
22:02difference.
22:03You meet the ones in Christ, they are so
22:05wicked and mean. You meet the one
22:07sometimes you where is where are we
22:09going to go? No. A million times no.
22:12It's time to restore this. That's why
22:13I'm telling you, you guys that are
22:15sitting down learning all this, you are
22:16the future of the church. Don't keep it
22:19to yourself. when you leave here, go
22:21find 12 people, one 20 people and start
22:22teaching the truth all over again. We
22:25need a word explosion. We need a
22:27revolution of truth.
22:44Where is that song that you sing? My
22:46life is yours. I just say yes.
22:52>> Show me the way.
22:55>> Okay. [music] Okay. Okay. Just just be
22:56playing this small small. Let me see if
22:58I can clean up. I want to give you one
23:01very deadly case study and I'll end.
23:07The nation of Israel broke into two. We
23:10had the kingdom of Judah and the kingdom
23:11of Israel because of [music] sin. The
23:14founder of the kingdom of Israel is a
23:16king called Geroban. He led the
23:17foundation in idolatry. It took a couple
23:19[music] of years, the thing exploded so
23:21bad. One of the worst king that they had
23:23was Ahab and Jezebel. And it wasn't long
23:26after that king God dealt with all the
23:28nonsense, idolatry and all that. He
23:30brought the king of Assyria to wipe out
23:33that nation. Today we talk about the 10
23:35missing tribes of Israel. They are the
23:37northern tribe. I mean they are the
23:39these guys. He carried them. The
23:40northern tribe scattered them all over.
23:42some of them as far as Russia and many
23:44other countries and they cease to exist
23:47as a nation.
23:49Sin has consequences
23:52and God's hope now is Judah and he kept
23:55Judah because of the covenant he made
23:56with David and because Jesus was going
23:59to come through that lineage.
24:01He didn't want anything to go wrong with
24:02them. The pioneer has been David and
24:06then now Solomon and then things [music]
24:08broke up but he kept Judah. The first
24:11king after the breakup is Jeroboam.
24:16But these young kings
24:19some of them will come up. They were
24:20righteous kings. They will do well. Some
24:22will come they are evil. Now in Israel
24:25not one good king except except [music]
24:28the man who brought reform called
24:31uh what's his name? Huh?
24:33No, not Josiah. There was no Josiah in
24:35Israel. The man that killed Jezebel
24:38wiped out Jo, the only good king of all
24:41the kings under the wave. [music]
24:45So anytime you're joining a rebellion,
24:47you have not counted the cost. Where
24:50[music] will this lead to? It's easy to
24:52join Lucifer when his mouth is sounding
24:55sweet. Where is he going to be leading
24:58us? A lot of lives were ruined. Millions
25:00of people [music] were destroyed because
25:02of one man's rebellion.
25:12But Judah watched how Israel was
25:15destroyed
25:17and they kept telling themselves we are
25:19impregnable. We cannot be destroyed
25:21because you know the [snorts] temple of
25:24God is in our mid. Solomon's temple is
25:26here and ark of God is here. It's not
25:28possible.
25:30And the Islam is behaving. And God
25:32raised prophets upon prophets after
25:34prophets, prophets after warning them.
25:38See, one of the things you should do
25:39when you study the Bible is when you are
25:41studying about kings, study the prophets
25:43that operated during those days. Yeah.
25:46You will see in the day of Uziah, that's
25:49king, one of the kings of Judah. You see
25:51Isaiah emerged. See that? So if I
25:55mention Ahab, you will know it is
25:56Elijah. I Elisha. Okay. If I mention
26:00David, you know his prophets like Netan
26:02the prophet. I mention Saul, you know it
26:05was Samuel.
26:06And you watch the messages they were
26:08giving to a generation that was perverse
26:11and evil.
26:19[music]
26:24And this what until he got to the time
26:26of Jeremiah the prophet. Jeremiah was a
26:29weeping prophet. He had a lot of crying
26:30and we because his messages were about
26:33the destruction of Judah and he did not
26:36want Judah to be destroyed. [music] He
26:38will go pray for them, plead with them.
26:40But God will said go warn them if they
26:42will listen. But the kings in those days
26:45[music] will not listen. I want to give
26:47you the names of a few kings.
26:52The reason is because we're now in the
26:53time of reforms and we're in the time of
26:56the final reforms. I want to show you
26:58the final revival that is Judah, the
27:00kingdom of Judah had.
27:04This is where the countdown started.
27:06Hezekiah.
27:11Man gave birth to Ammon.
27:16Then Ammon gave birth to [music] I want
27:19to list to another good king called
27:21Josiah.
27:23Josiah is the last good king. I want you
27:25to circle this. There's something I want
27:27you to
27:31This is the last revival and reform that
27:34Israel had. Bad.
27:38Bad.
27:41This guy was the last revival that
27:44Israel had after him. Watch these five
27:47names.
27:52Jehidah.
27:55Jehovah has
28:00then you have Jehovah king.
28:09Then you have
28:11Joho.
28:13[music]
28:16You can call it Johakin again, but it's
28:18C H I N. The other one is K I M. So
28:23then you have Zedekiah
28:26[music]
28:30and then finally you have Gadelia.
28:38You see these last five kings
28:41were
28:43now ruling in the time of judgment.
28:46Reformation has ended. Josiah was the
28:48last reformer, last good king that was
28:51like David and after him everything
28:54broke down till the temple Babylonians
28:57now came destroy the temple killed off
29:01the priest
29:03you know dethroned the kings carried
29:04them to Babylon and then each time they
29:07remove a king they will put somebody
29:08else all those five where the
29:09replacement kings they put somebody else
29:11then later they come something will go
29:13wrong with that one they will come and
29:14put another person sometimes they will
29:16come back and kill the and they put
29:17there and destroy him, put another
29:19person until
29:22everything was completely ruined. Now
29:25you will notice that when the judgment
29:26started, God did not destroy everything
29:28at once because of one quality that God
29:31has. I need to read this for you.
29:34I need to read this for you.
29:38Ezekiel chapter 18 verse 21- 24
29:53if the wicked will turn from his sins
29:56that he has committed
29:58keep my statutes and do what was right
30:01and lawful. So after repentance, you
30:03have to start doing the righteous things
30:04that you do and change and now start
30:07doing what is right. If not the
30:10repentance is not real. Keep all my
30:13statutes. Do that which is loveful and
30:14right. He shall surely live. He shall
30:17not die. Do you see repentance reverses
30:19judgment?
30:23Verse 22. All his transgressions that he
30:26has committed, they shall not be
30:27mentioned unto him. In his righteousness
30:30that he has done, he shall live.
30:34God forgives and wipes out all the sins
30:36he has committed in the past. Have I any
30:39pleasure at all that the wicked should
30:41die. God is saying, I have no pleasure
30:43in the death of the wicked. I know when
30:45you see some wicked people, YOU WANT
30:46THEM TO PERISH. YOU WANT THEM AND YOU
30:49WONDER WHY GOD IS SLOW in destroying
30:51them.
30:55Have I any pleasure that the wicked
30:58should die, said the Lord, and not that
31:02he should return from his ways and live.
31:03This is what he wants, that he will
31:05repent and live. Verse 23,
31:08when the righteous man turns away from
31:10his righteousness and commits iniquity,
31:12and does according to the abomination
31:13that the wicked man does, shall he live?
31:16God is telling you, if a righteous man
31:18turns away, he will also perish.
31:21And all the righteousness he has done in
31:22the past will be forgi forgotten.
31:25All his righteousness that he has done
31:26shall be shall not be mentioned. In his
31:29trespass that he has trespassed in his
31:32sin that he has seen in them he shall
31:34die. So a man that started well can end
31:37up going back and go to hell and perish.
31:40A man that started wrongly can repent
31:43and leave.
31:47Add one more verse. when the righteous
31:52Yeah. Verse 25. Yet the children of Is
31:55said the way of the Lord is not equal.
31:58Now go to verse 30 and see something.
32:04The Jews had problem with this. They
32:05said, "Oh, somebody has done evil
32:07repents. You forgive him like that." And
32:08then a person have been doing all the
32:10right thing now chooses to backslide and
32:12start doing bad things. You let him
32:14perish. This is not right. Look at how
32:17God answered it. Therefore, I will judge
32:19you, oh house of Israel, every one of
32:20you, according to his ways, said the
32:22Lord. Repent. Turn yourself on your
32:25transgression, so iniquity shall not be
32:28your reign.
32:34Add the next verse.
32:37Cast away from you all your
32:39transgression. You see, he's not just
32:40saying, I'm sorry. STOP WHEREBY you have
32:43transgressed. Make you a new heart and a
32:46new spirit. For why will you die, oh
32:48house of Israel? Watch verse 32. For I
32:51have no pleasure in the death of him
32:53that died, said the Lord God. Wherefore
32:56turn yourself and live. These are the
32:59kind of messages they were preaching to
33:00the people of Judah. They did not
33:02listen.
33:05The worst king that they produced was a
33:08king called Manisa. The worst for Israel
33:12was uh Ahab and Jezebel. was for the
33:15people of Judah was Manessa. To start
33:18with, if you look, his father was
33:19Hezekiah, a righteous man, a godly man
33:21that brought reforms, did what was right
33:23in the sight of God. God helped him, God
33:25blessed him. I don't want to go into his
33:27story, but he made one mistake.
33:30While he was still alive, after he was
33:32sick and God healed him, gave him extra
33:3415 years, the king of Babylon heard
33:37about it and sent ambassadors to come
33:39and celebrate with him. Do you know what
33:41he did? He took them to the temple of
33:43God and showed them all the gold all the
33:45precious things. Took them to the
33:46treasures where Som buried where they
33:48used to bury gold underground storage
33:50for gold storage in Israel. In the days
33:53of Solomon, the king of Israel became
33:54the wonders of the ancient world. They
33:56have accumulated so much wealth. He was
33:58flouting his wealth.
34:03So these people went back and told the
34:04king of Babylon from that day they
34:06started plotting how to come and destroy
34:09the city and take all this gold. is a
34:11goal that they want but the problem why
34:14they can't do it that the God of Israel
34:15protects them. So a prophet came to meet
34:18Hezekiah after the ambassadors left. I
34:20said what did this where did those men
34:22come from? He said they came from a far
34:23country from the east. He said what did
34:24you show them? I showed them even the
34:26all the treasures of the palace. I was
34:28showing them all the things that we have
34:29that we are very the man said you a
34:32fool. He said days are coming when there
34:36will be an invasion of this country and
34:38they will strip your country of all
34:39these things. Do you know what he said?
34:42He said the word of the Lord is good as
34:43long as it doesn't happen in my time.
34:47A good king, a righteous king but very
34:49stupid according to him as long as his
34:52days are fine. Whatever happens to
34:54future generation, that's their own
34:55business. Be careful that the life you
34:58are living is not setting up your
35:00children and programming the future
35:02generation for a fall.
35:07But now his son rises to power and
35:11becomes evil
35:13and that his son is man.
35:17It keeps shocking me but I've studied
35:19the Bible. have seen it. How a
35:22generation serves God, lives a revival,
35:25powerful move of God and the children
35:27they are raising are there watching
35:29because of their parents they forced
35:30them to go to church. Some of them are
35:33pastor's children.
35:35They are children of men or women of God
35:38or people who move with God. And because
35:40they were forcing them to go, the
35:41parents assume that these children are
35:43disciples.
35:46Then until that parental influence is
35:48lifted, the child turns away. Maybe they
35:51leave home, they travel abroad or they
35:52go somewhere else where there is no.
35:56This is a young boy that was raised in
35:58church, raised in revival, raised at a
36:00time of righteousness. man
36:04raised in a Christian home
36:10and he goes bad but his corruption was
36:15now worse than people that were not born
36:17again before. He the Bible say he
36:19surpassed the hidden in wickedness.
36:22Yeah. Manister was 12 years old when he
36:24began to reign. He reigned for 55 years
36:29which is an anomaly. All the righteous
36:32kings, the longest ruled for 40 years.
36:34David 40, Solomon 40. All the righteous
36:36kings. Some righteous kings didn't rule
36:38rule for up to 40 years.
36:42All the bad kings rule very short. God
36:45will always judge them. He will not
36:46allow them stay there long. Let me give
36:48you an example.
36:51Ammon, bad guy.
36:54How long was he there? 2 years.
36:58Let's look at another bad guy. Johas,
37:00bad guy. How long was he in office? 11
37:03years. Let's look at another bad guy,
37:06Johakin. How long was he there? 3
37:08months.
37:10Oh, no, no, no. Johans was 3 months.
37:12Johakin was 11. 11 years. Then we come
37:16to Johakin, the second one. How long? 3
37:19months.
37:21What about Zedekiah? How long? 11 years.
37:24What about this one? He lasted a few
37:26weeks.
37:29He was assassinated.
37:47No bad king stayed long. God always
37:50sends judgment after them. But here is a
37:52bad king that ruled for 55 years longer
37:55than David.
37:57Why?
37:58Everyone say why I didn't blew my mind
38:01in the Bible for 7 years I did not make
38:04comment on it every time I read it I
38:06said eh is it that
38:11okay is exception to the rule
38:15wages of sin is death but exception
38:17sometimes it can be life
38:227 years I did not have the understanding
38:25I didn't know why and I had that
38:27question and I kept wondering what is
38:29God doing here
38:31then why will you even make him stay
38:34longer than David the good guys longer
38:36than Solomon
38:39let me show you guys a secret today this
38:41is what I want you to take home
38:44you see Messa began to rain he did what
38:47was evil in the sight of the lord like
38:48the abomination of the hidden he was
38:50copying all the bad that's unbeliever
38:52copy what they're doing and surpassed it
38:53whom the lord cast out before the
38:55children of Israel watch verse
38:57He built again the high places which
38:59Hezekiah his father has broken. So one
39:01generation did reforms another
39:03generation came back and brought back
39:04all the evil
39:06and he reared up altars to worship Bal
39:09made grooves worship all the host of
39:11heaven served them. He built altars in
39:14the house of the Lord. The one that
39:15anointed God most he went to the church
39:17the temple that Solomon brought idol
39:18inside. Build put idols inside that
39:21place whereof the Lord said in Jerusalem
39:23shall my name. You see why God allowed
39:24that temple to be destroyed.
39:28Verse 5, and he built altars for all the
39:31host of heaven in the two courts of the
39:33even inside God's house.
39:36You see the type of corruption we are
39:37now having in Nigerian Christianity.
39:41Watch verse six. And he caused his
39:43children to pass through fire. He was
39:45doing human sacrifice children in the
39:47valley of the son of Hmon. Also he
39:49observed times reading horoscope used
39:51enchantment. He was into charms. He was
39:53a wizard. He was into witchcraft. He
39:55dealt with familiar spirit. He with
39:57wizard. He wrought much evil in the
39:59sight of the Lord to provoke it. Son of
40:02a pastor.
40:09There is a lot of lessons here about
40:10succession. Just because you have a
40:13group of young men or pastors, you know,
40:15like our generation, pioneer generation,
40:17we're here pursuing righteousness.
40:19Pursue doesn't mean all of you are
40:20following.
40:23Some people will sit there listening to
40:24all this message. Ah, leave me a man
40:28will do what man has to do or forget
40:29all. That's how Judah sat under Jesus
40:32and went to hell.
40:41There's a lot of lessons about
40:43succession here. One generation can do
40:45what is right. You have to get the right
40:48man in office after you. or it takes one
40:51generation of rebellion to destroy what
40:54has been accomplished.
41:00Verse seven, he set carved images image
41:04idols which he has made in the house in
41:06the house of God. Doing it in town was
41:09not enough. He brought it to church of
41:11which God has said to David and to
41:12Solomon his in this house I have chosen
41:15before all the tribe of Israel put my
41:16name. Vers 8, neither will I anymore
41:19remove the foot of Israel. Anyway, verse
41:219, you see the promise God made to
41:23Israel, they will never go again into
41:24bondage. He he violated. When you start
41:27doing certain things, God will break his
41:29covenant and let evil happen to you.
41:33Anyway, Man made Judah and the habits of
41:35Jerusalem to air to do worse than the
41:37hidden worse than the hidden whom the
41:40Lord had destroyed before the children
41:41of Israel. The Lord spoke to Manessa and
41:42to his people, but they were not
41:43hacking. He even killed some of the
41:45prophets that came to warn them.
41:48He sent prophets. You know why he does
41:50that? God does not want the sinner. He
41:52doesn't want to destroy people.
41:57He knows what and once it happens that
41:59there's no remedy. There's no coming
42:00back.
42:02So he would do the Bible said in the
42:03book of Peter and in the rest of the New
42:05Testament that this longsuffering of
42:07God, this patience is having is because
42:08he's not willing that any should perish.
42:13But do you know what people do? They
42:14said nothing that happened. So they
42:15continue.
42:20If you truly know what hell looks like,
42:22you know why God has long suffering.
42:27Once people are in there, no reversal.
42:34Verse 10.
42:36Wherefore the Lord brought upon them the
42:38captain of the host of the king of
42:39Assyria, which took Marisa among the
42:42thorns that they bound him with chain eh
42:46bound him with feathers and carried him
42:48to Babylon delivered into the king of
42:50Babylon. Verse 12. And when he was in
42:54affliction, he was there for a long
42:55time, for a while, he besought the Lord
42:59his God and humbled himself greatly
43:03before the God of his fathers. He now
43:05remembered all the things his father and
43:07others were. He now turns back. He has
43:10been a wizard. Has been a witch. The
43:11devil couldn't help him. He's now
43:12calling back on the God of his father,
43:14God of David, God of Abraham to save
43:16him. Now watch verse 13. And he prayed
43:20unto him and he was intreated [music] of
43:22him and had his supplication and brought
43:25him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom.
43:28Then Manessa knew that the Lord was God.
43:31So all that time he was going to church.
43:33He didn't believe in God. didn't think
43:34he was anything or just doing it because
43:36of his father.
43:38But you see, he repented.
43:41The only king that was carried away to
43:43captivity, put in prison in chain, he
43:46was returned back and put back on the
43:47throne.
43:49And when God returned him in gave him a
43:52brand new [music] check, he ruled for 40
43:54years as if he had not ruled before.
43:57By the time they added everything, he
43:58was the longest ruling king. I want you
44:00to see the secret of prosperity that you
44:03can't prosper in sin. That's what we
44:05read. Proverb 28. He that coverth in sin
44:08will not prosper. You are not going to
44:09prosper with all those because nobody
44:12has caught you. You think you are
44:13getting away. You're not getting away.
44:15But when people turn back to God, God
44:17even pours his favor, his mercy on them
44:20like no man's business.
44:23Now to show you that this is genuine
44:24repentance, watch what he did. Next
44:26verse 14. Now after he built the walls
44:30without the city of David on the west
44:32side of Guehon in the valley everywhere
44:33he started building developing build f
44:36cities then verse 15
44:38he took away the strange god you see all
44:40the things he did bad that's what you
44:43make amends he took away the strange
44:46gods the idol out of the house of the
44:47lord and all the altars that he built in
44:50the mouth of the house of the lord and
44:52in Jerusalem he cast them out of the
44:53city you see you make amends the man now
44:56became a reformer woman. He even became
44:58a preacher according to the scriptures.
45:02Go ahead.
45:04And he repaired the altar of the Lord,
45:06sacrificed there on peace offering and
45:08thanks offering and commanded Judah to
45:10serve the Lord. He's now preaching to
45:12the whole Israel because he helped to
45:13corrupt them. He's now doing the
45:15reverse.
45:18Nevertheless, the people did sacrifice
45:19still in the high places yet unto the
45:21Lord their God only, no more to idols.
45:27Verse 17, the rest of the acts of mana
45:29and his prayer that he prayed to his God
45:34and the words of the se that spoke to
45:36him. They are written in the book of the
45:37kings of Israel. Please put up the
45:39prayer of Manisa. I want them to see it.
45:41So because there are case studies, you
45:43see a case study with Psalm 51, David.
45:46You see and the Bible records the prayer
45:48of repentance of David after he
45:50repented. Why God forgave him? Now you
45:53will see another king. This was the
45:55worst king that the kingdom of Judah
45:57produced. Look at him. This guy escaped
46:06when he was in chain and he was in
46:08prison and the place they put him is in
46:09a dungeon. He never saw light for years
46:12and they bound him. His only food that
46:14he he eats from the ground.
46:18Oh Lord, Lord Almighty, God of our
46:21ancestors. You see what he's telling God
46:23now? God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob
46:26and their righteous children. You made
46:28the heaven and the earth with all their
46:30beauty. Look at verse three. You set
46:33limits for the sea by speaking your
46:35command. He's quoting the Bible.
46:39You close the bottomless pit and seed it
46:41by your powerful and glorious name. All
46:43things fear you and tremble in your
46:46presence. Verse five, because no one can
46:49endure the brightness of your glory. No
46:51one can resist the fury of your threat
46:53against sinners. Nobody can withstand
46:55your anger,
46:59but you promise mercies that are beyond
47:03measure and imagination
47:06because you are the highest Lord. You
47:09are kind. You are patient. You are
47:11merciful. You feel sorry over human
47:14troubles. And this is an absolute truth.
47:20is saying to God, you promise mercies
47:22and forgiveness because you are kind,
47:24you are patient, you are merciful, and
47:26you even feel sorry over human problems
47:28and struggles. You, Lord, according to
47:30your gentle grace, promise forgiveness
47:33to those who are sorry for their sins.
47:35You see that
47:37in your great mercy, you allow sinners
47:40to turn from their sins and find
47:41salvation.
47:43Verse
47:458.
47:47Therefore, Lord God of those who do what
47:49is right.
47:51You didn't offer Abraham, Isaac, and
47:53Jacob, who didn't sin against you, a
47:55chance to change their heart and live.
47:57There was they don't need repentance.
47:58These people are righteous men. But you
48:01offered me the sinner, the chance to
48:04change my heart and life.
48:08Because my sins outnumber the grain of
48:10sand by the sea. My sins are many, Lord.
48:14They are many. I am not worthy to look
48:16up and to gaze into heaven because of my
48:19many sins.
48:22Now, Lord, I suffer justly.
48:25I deserve the troubles I encounter.
48:28Already I'm caught in a trap.
48:32I am held down by iron chains so that I
48:35can't even lift my head because of my
48:37sins. There is no relief for me because
48:39I made you angry. doing wrong in the
48:42front of your face, setting up false
48:44gods and committing offenses.
48:49Now I bow down before you from deep
48:53within my heart begging you for
48:55kindness.
48:56I have seen Lord I have sinned. I know
48:59the laws are broken. You see he was
49:01raised in church.
49:03I know the laws are broken.
49:07Verse 13. I am praying, begging you,
49:10forgive me, Lord. Forgive me. Don't
49:12destroy me along with my sins. Don't
49:15keep my bad deeds in your memory
49:16forever. Don't sentence me to the air
49:19depths. That's to hell.
49:22For you, Lord, are the God of those who
49:24turn from their sins. Remember, he has
49:27said, "You are the God of the righteous
49:28who are living right. They don't need
49:30to. But you also the God of those who
49:32truly turned from their sins." Verse 14.
49:37in me you will show how kind you are.
49:40Use me as an example. Although I'm not
49:42worthy, you will save me according to
49:44your great. You see now he's now
49:46beginning to speak by faith according to
49:48your great mercy and I will praise you
49:50continuously all the days of my life
49:52because of all because all the force
49:55heavenly forces praise you and the glory
49:58is yours forever and always. And God
50:02changed his mind and brought the guy out
50:03of that place.
50:06Hey,
50:10it doesn't matter how far you have gone.
50:13It doesn't matter what depth you have
50:15found yourself, you can come out. And it
50:18doesn't matter what damages that are
50:20going on in your life now. Don't wait
50:22till it leads to death. Then there's no
50:24chance anymore. You can come out. Bow
50:26down your heads, please. You see, we
50:28can't come and be preaching prosperity
50:30and progress to you without repentance.
50:32It's not going to work. You know,
50:34whatever it is, talk to him tonight.
50:37Talk to him tonight. Talk to him
50:40tonight. All of you that have the sound
50:42of my voice tonight and heard this
50:44message, please, I beg you, wherever you
50:46are, whatever country you live in, bow
50:49your hearts before God like Madison and
50:51ask him to. And you know, when you feel
50:52repent, you now ask him to for the gift
50:54of the Holy Spirit to recreate you, to
50:58change you into who you are supposed to
50:59be, and to make you a brand new person.
51:05And right there you make a vow never to
51:07go back to those things to turn away
51:09from them. And you go and start making
51:11amends. Start leading people to Christ.
51:13Start teaching other people to live
51:14right. Start turning men to
51:16righteousness. When you are keenly
51:18saved, you become a soul winner. You
51:20start saving others.
51:29Take my life. And let it be
51:36praise and lost to thee.
51:41Take my
51:44hand.
