'The Word of God rebukes'
Part 3

When a person asks you 'do you know God' and you say yes and you fail to show proof, that should be the main main thing of knowing God. Not by demonstrating power to show that you know Him. That doesn't mean you know God. Get over that stage of speaking to angels.

Get to the level of knowing God. One thing about knowing God its more like a waste of time because you take a lot of time doing it but you can't use it to your advantage. After knowing God you can't use Him. It's just knowing Him. And it doesn't have any results. You won't see visions more, it doesn't make you live in heaven while you're on earth. You know Him and you still become normal and even look like a fool but it only gives satisfaction of knowing Him.

It's so painful that He can't make Himself known to me because it's my responsibility to work so hard to know Him and for you to know God, you need to search Him. He's not in the open like this. You need to search Him and sit down. If you want to know God, you need to waste time because in the flesh it doesn't reward you in anything. God won't hear your prayers more. It's just for personal gain and satisfaction that by the time you fall asleep, you're familiar with Him.

There are people who fall asleep and they have a dream. As they dream and enter into a different dimension, they have left and not coming back. And the dream that they are having it's where they will be living. When you wake them up in the morning, they are already in that world they saw in the dream, it's a continuation. Knowing God is not about waking your spiritual senses. It's not about you being too sensitive that when He speaks you have to shut other people to hear Him. There's no shortcut to knowing God that is why the Apostle Paul says 'progressively'. You can't finish God, you learn new things everyday about Him and that's the most interesting thing.

I love how Apostle Paul puts it, he says 'I resort to know nothing except for Christ and Him crucified'. He emphasised on knowing God and if we can have that kind of mentality, we are going to be a rare generation. This generation is deceived because they believe that knowing God brings power and we don't need power. What do you need it for? God is keeping you alive. He's giving you enough. I'd rathee know Him than having power to raise the dead. Once you reach that level, nothing else will entertain you, no prophecy, no demonstration, nothing will entertain you. It will be just ok for you and still look for God. Do you know you can do the things of God while He's not there? We need to know God.

'Perceive God's grace'
Part 1

We welcome you all to this beautiful marvelous time to gather and enjoy His name. It is an opportunity given once again to us to grow in His knowledge, His Will and His Word. May you be blessed all. Consider yourself blessed for it is not everyone who is given a chance and an opportunity to hear the Word. Undeservingly so, He gave us this grace. So let us give thanks at all times to God.

I want us to take Romans 9 and let God take us through this. I believe that there's a lot that God needs to teach us because there are many who come to Christ but they end up leaving without even understanding Him. There are many who come without understanding Him therefore they serve without a revelation. And being in Christ without a revelation is actually a waste of time. Because having a revelation means going deep in knowing Him.

So if you serve Christ without a revelation it means that you still have a long way to go. It's a must for a child of God to have a revelation of who Christ is.
-Some say 'we know Him as both the Power and the Wisdom of God'.
-Some say 'we know Him as the Saviour'.
-Some say 'we know Him as someone who died and rose so that we may be liberated.'

I'm saying you can know Christ as the bible says and you can know Christ as He is revealed. It depends on who you want to know. I would say knowing Christ according to the bible has limitations. You need to go beyond the bible, you need to go beyond just reading. Go beyond reading what the bible says and get to the point of seeing what it actually says. Therefore you have a graphical display of the true image of Christ.

Scripture reading
[Romans 9]
Verse 1-5

This is giving us a background of how Christianity was inherited to the lineage of the Israelites. Remember God from the beginning He favoured the Israelites. He would go to Egypt and say 'tell Pharaoh to let my people go' from the beginning He declared the Israelites as His own people and we would see Him punishing a lot of people to protect the Israelites.

Romans 10
[Verse 1]

God loves them. God chose them as His own but yet they are still not saved. You being loved by God does not mean that you are in the right standing to inherit the Kingdom. You being loved by God does not mean that everything will go right. God loves all both sinners and believers. But His love for us does not change how we do things for Him. That's why understanding the love of God must be your full responsibility. You need to be able to see and learn from Him.

I love Ephesians 5:21-33. He does not tell wives to love husbands but that they must be submissive. Husbands must be able to love. This means that in the husband loving, the wife by submitting will learn how to love from the husband. If Christ is the husband of the church and He comes to love us then we need to be submissive and interpret His love for us so that we may be able to know how to love Him in the correct way.

You can love God and love Him in the wrong way. You can love God and still not do things the right way yet claiming to be doing for Him. It's very much easy to be deceived.

[Repetance of verse 1]
What kind of a prayer is this? 'My heart's desire is that they may be saved' but they walked with God day and night. In the night He would be a pillar of fire and during the day He would be a pillar of cloud. Everytime when they become hungry He would manifest food in the physical. When they are thirsty He would break a rock and water would come out for them yet He says 'I pray that they may be saved'. Exodus 13:

Imagine seeing miracles, seeing the hand of God, seeing the capabilities of God and yet not be saved because the fact that God can do miracles for you does not mean that you're in the right standing with Him. Hence we say 'God loved the Israelites from the beginning but what did they do to be loved like that? Nothing, it's grace. Now if grace is unmerited favour it means that He chose them not because of the way they were doing things but because of who He is.

Verse 2
What kind of knowledge- knowing Him. Their zeal is based on seeing what God can do for them. That is why they would say 'tell God that we are hungry'. Their knowledge was not based on knowing Him but on them. He says he can testify about them. He knows what kind of people they are. So you can be able to serve God yet not serving Him the right way because your knowledge of Him is not based the right way.

Verse 3-4
There are people that are too forward and disrespectful and say 'God loves me and He can fight for me and He can kill for me'. Yes, He loves you but you can still go to hell. How many people does God love and they still go to hell? God can't keep you from going to hell, it is not His responsibility, it's a personal choice.

In the old, God will be choosy but Christ came so that He can give everyone a chance. So today you can choose to be or not to be born again because of Jesus.

'Walking in predestination brings fulfilment and development'
Part 1

Greetings blessed readers, we welcome you once more to this marvelous Sunday service that God has created, prepared and serviced for us. It is for us to be energized, to be cooked, betterfied and proned.

This is just for the goodness of our sake, so when we come before the throne of grace let's come with humbleness yet boldness. We thank you for joining us today. Let God be God and let God show his greatness.

As I promised those who want to continue with last week's teaching they should join us. We are going to rephrase from the last question that we heard from brother Guu.

I believe that the holy spirit is going to help us here because this is actually for the glory and I believe that for God to be seen we must emphasize on Christ and we must work on just upbringing his name, availing it so that everybody may see that Jesus Christ is King.

Let us believe as we partake that the holy spirit is going to help us and then everything else God will lead. Last week we were teaching about: 'Process and Predestination'.

Brother Guu's question:
"Based on the quality of the teaching that you gave us it was just assuring that one can miss the road nor go astray but now my question was that how can one be restored? Is there a chance for one to be restored back to the lane where they were supposed to be?"

If we were to put it in the most simple way, It's the same as if you were once a sinner, is it possible for you to be born anew? Is it possible to be restored?

This can actually cause someone to miss the greatest blessing because in your mind you are like, 'I was predestined to walk like this but now I've taken a different route', so how do I go about fixing that,Can I be restored?

There are those who miss it and never come back and never be restored because we have to understand. Is there continuation? Because the minute there's what we call predestination. If you live according to predestination time is moving according to the predestination.

But if you move from the predestination and take a different route time is still moving according to normality, according to the sun but according to predestination time is stuck. Basically if you move away from what God has predestined and live according to free will you are stuck, meaning there won't be any progress.

Let's look at what happened when Jesus called Peter and said, "come, walk on top of water"[When Peter walked and drowned]. During that time of drowning what was happening? Something better that would have been done by that time was not done because they were focusing on that certain scenario.

Walking in predestination brings fulfilment, brings development because you are walking in line to what has to build you but if you walk differently on what has to build you it has nothing but to destroy you.

Basically moving from predestination to permittable will (what you desire), it's actually destroying what you were walking on as you were building on predestination. Why? Because the minute you walk on predestination you walk in the mind of Christ and when you hear there's disturbance. You no longer walk according to the predestination but you walk according what you hear, meaning that your mind is corrupted.

If a laptop receives virus there's no way you can say you are deleting the virus and now be careful how long you keep the virus in your mind because you will reach a level whereby you can't fix. You will have to reboot, meaning to start from scratch and by the that time you have to start from the scratch again it's gonna take time.

It's difficult and it takes time to build a positive character but it takes a minute to destroy it. When a tree grows no one cares but when it falls everyone recognizes. Let me pass this to you, 'A lion does not ban the jungle because it did not catch a prey'. Why? Because if the lion bans the jungle tomorrow it won't even have food.

The fact that you didn't get anything today doesn't mean you won't get anything tomorrow, so don't destroy what you have. Better walk on that predestination that seems as if it's not yielding results.

You destroy something built for ten years for something that you find within a week and then you fail to see that after five days that which you have been building for ten years was going to yield fruits and the problem with a lot of people is that they think when we talk about fruits of the spirit, they think we talk about what you can see nor touch.

It's difficult to build according to predestination but it's more difficult to build on a life that you do not know. A predestination it's difficult to walk on but it's more difficult to walk in a life that does not have direction, meaning it's better to walk knowing that you are in Christ being directed than walking not knowing how you are walking nor where you are going and what the future holds. When you walk it with God you walk it better.

To God be the glory!

Part 1
'As children of God we need to be sensitive in the spirit'
'Process is very important and it can't be skipped'

Greetings blessed readers, we welcome you into this beautiful and wonderful time once given unto us again to meet in harmony and to speak about the great one who has made us and gave us the opportunity to be here.

Thank you for joining us and taking the time to spend it with us. Believe me God has prepared only the best for us. Let's be in patience and awe as we are about to receive directly from the bosom of God.

I want us to discuss something very much vital, deep and important. It's something that it's overlooked by a lot of people but sensitivity in the spirit is important because the bible says, "Do not quench the holy spirit". So it's important for a person that when they say, 'I'm serving God' they may be careful about quenching the holy spirit because it's easy to offend the holy spirit.

The holy spirit is very sensitive to a point that he can receive offense. It's wrong for you as a child of God to receive offense but it's right when the holy spirit receives it because the bible says, "Whoever blasphems against the holy spirit will never be forgiven" [Matthew 12:31]. It means the holy spirit can be offended by what we do hence it says, "Do not quench the holy spirit".

"Whoever sins against the son of man will be forgiven", that's what the bible says. So whoever sins against Jesus will be forgiven but those who sin against the holy ghost will never be forgiven hence it's important as children of God to be very sensitive to the spirit to a point that even when we pray we are careful of the words that we say because you can end up saying something thinking that you are actually praising but at the end of the day you are actually offending the holy spirit.

Same as trying to tell the holy spirit on how to do things as if though he does not know the perfect way of doing them, dictating the holy spirit on what to do and how to do it. It can results in offense of the holy ghost.

Somebody is saying how is it possible for God to be angry? There are some feelings which are wrong when they are felt by us but they are right when felt by God. Jealousy is wrong but the bible says, "He is a jealous God." He feels jealous when we shy away from him and worship something else apart from him he becomes jealous. So if he become jealous what happens to the holy spirit?

The bible says, "ungodliness and godliness cannot stand in the same place, once the ungodliness comes the holy spirit leaves", why? No one leaves without being offended, so it's easy to offend the holy spirit.

Now in my message I want to emphasize on something very vital, I want us to speak about process. Process is something that is very important and can't be missed if you are embarking on a journey with Christ. Process makes you who you are and when I'm saying process, it can be challenges that you have to go through. Process is very important, Jesus knows it too.

It was possible for God to bring Jesus out of nowhere as a fully grown man without a mother and father. It was very possible for God to cause Jesus to be a fully grown man without being given birth to. To come as if though it was a wind. You know when the wind starts it does not have the beginning nor the end, it just begins.

It was possible for Jesus to just be a grown human being at the age of thirty to come die and one day was enough for him to come die then raise and then goes back. Why did it take Jesus three days to resurrect? Because it was a process he could not skip it. At times God would put us in a process that we cannot escape. Imagine being stuck in a grave for three days, I'm sure he felt like leaving but he could not because it's a process that he has to go through.

There's a phase that you wish to pass in your life but you can't because it's a process and there's nothing you can do about it, that's how God has willed it. For Jesus it was so painful and so deep that he said, "Let this cup pass" [Matthew 26:39], meaning let this process pass I can't take it anymore. Process it's not something that is going to be easy hence the bible says, "When the enemy attacks like a flood of the Lord will raise the standard" [Isaiah 59:19], so it means that the enemy will always attack.

When you become a child of God you become open to attacks but them coming to attack you doesn't necessarily mean you have to fall but you have to show the greatness of the Lord. That's why there are some things we pass through them and today when we look back we become amazed how we passed through them.

To God be the glory!

'Seated on the table with the father'
'Understanding is in the Spirit'
Teaching: Brother Tshegofatso

We've heard the Word and one thing we can understand is that we are transformed in hearing. It is fulfilled because if you understand something about the shock, it's that it shocks first and you hear the sound after. So in our hearing it is fulfilled. In the Spirit it's done before we can hear it, we hear from the same Spirit. When one hears the Word of God and does not understand it, the devil comes and takes it. You must understand something about 'understanding'. There's hearing and there's understanding. Many hear but do not understand.

Hearing is canality, you come with your flesh. You apply your flesh and you can never understand the things of the Spirit with the flesh. The Spirit speaks what is of the Spirit. The flesh cannot grasp what is of the Spirit, it is highly impossible. The bible says that the Spirit wants what it wants and the flesh want what it wants(Galatians 5:17). So how can you grasp what is of the Spirit with the flesh? And that is what many are doing. When you understand the Word of God is like being planted something meaning you are no longer the same.

But yet we see many are hearing the Word of God and they remain the same. Why is this? It means they are applying canality. They don't hear by the Spirit and when you hear by the Spirit, you don't come here and say 'father, I want food'. From where the father is speaking, that is where you are. We hear from one father and we all serve the same father so why is it when someone speaks, it's a mystery to us? We are hearing from the same Spirit. With understanding when He speaks automatically I am there. I do not struggle. How can I struggle when the Spirit that is speaking is the same person who is speaking in me?

For you not to understand is because of you don't have this person, simple it's not a mystery. The Israelites were afraid of hearing God. God will speak in the presence of Moses but yet they were afraid(Exodus 20:19). Why? They did not carry this person. But when God speaks. Moses could understand. The same thing still applies even today yet we do not see it. There are still some they don't hear from God, the hear from their spiritual parents. God does not communicate with them. People do not hear from God, they hear from people.

Some people will ask that why does God doesn't show that this man is not a true man of God? It's simply because this people do not know God. They depend on that person who is not from God. So if we hear from God, we do not depend upon anyone. The same atmosphere that my brother is speaking from, I enter and speak from it. It is not something completely out of this world. We must have the Spirit, we must have fellowship with God in order for us to understand this Word, for us to grasp this Word.

How can I speak from the Spirit, you come with the canal and understand it? If you want to grasp, fellowship. The way I understand the Word is that if I give you something, you will walk in it unless you do not understand.

For example Prof Lesego Daniel once declared the year of remaining in the air. How many people that year dreamed flying? It was many. It means that he brought understanding of remaining in the air. So those who understand it, they remain in the air and even dream it. If you don't grasp it, you will remain where you are.

Even when I teach about the prophetic, you will prophesy. When I teach about anything that I'll be teaching about, you will flourish. It won't be hard for you. I'm giving you food and we are in the same table, he is our father but we are seated on the same table. What God brings also to the table we must eat also it is not only for him.

We must eat. What he brings is not something from far, it is what God has brought to the table, what we have access to and we all have access to it. The problem is we are not in the Spirit. We do not know God. What the father speaks is on the table.

Meditation Brings Things To Reality

Part 1
'Pursue more than righteousness'

We bless God, we would like to thank God for this moment and we appreciate God for this moment. For when we stand and speak, the acknowledgement is Christ, we acknowledge Christ in everything, in every walk that we walk with Him. So whatever that we do we must delight in it. When we speak, our meassage must delight in Him. That's why if Christ dwells in us, I love the teaching of the other week where the father was speaking about Christ Himself. When we listen to the message of Christ, when we listen to the understanding that Christ gives us the purity we ought to have it.

It is righteousness that Christ died for us. That's why the bible says that it was a must for Him to die for us so that all righteousness can be fulfilled. It was so that only those who believe may receive such righteousness but now there is this critical point whereby it's not through righteousness that you can have it. Righteousness does not qualify you to have what God is about to present to us. There are certain things that righteousness can do and there are certain things that righteousness cannot do for you. It depends on what are we holding on to as christians, as believers, as those that carries the heart.

I loved that teaching it's all about the heart. God dwelling within the heart. If God is in my heart, I cannot force to take Him out. It's not a force to speak the way that I'm speaking for it matters that what is in my heart, God will be the One to judge it even in speech.

The Father said something about the ladies when they are being approached by guys and that they cannot see a scam but out of the abundance of the heart the mouth will speak. So why is it that you fail to discern the words? Well most it's probably because they are charmed but it is through words that one may be able to discern so when they begin to speak, to entice you with whatever they speak, there will be a signal that will reveal the identity of the heart. That's why there are certain things that righteousness can do but its not everything that it's able to do.

Righteousness in my understanding, I perceive it as when Jesus died it's like an opportunity for us to enter to the glory of God but not the fullness of the opportunity. It is an opportunity for us to dwell in His presence, for us to see what He sees. For us to hear what He hears. But righteousness is limited in a sense of saying that it is only through coming to focus on being holy as He is holy that now we are able to enter in the heavenly places and at the same time not only to enter but to have that understanding.

To clarify what righteousness is: When Jesus died for us it was an opportunity for some to be righteous but when one begins to work on themselves, when one begins to adhere the Word that God preach us unto, when we walk and live according to the Word. It's no longer about righteousness, it's another dimension that which one build themselves up so that they may know Christ. Righteousness limits you simply because you are only righteous in the sense of saying that you can only see what other Christians are doing.

In a sense that your heart is not yet aligned, you say 'Father, I receive you' but by just saying that you are righteous by just saying that. But there must be other steps, other things that which you have to be in war with yourself. Situations that are challenging, this is where righteousness will begin to multiple within you. I believe that this holiness is a journey, it's an adventure.

When we embark through this process, it's an adventure you cannot just get there. Even Jesus had to die. I love it when Jesus asked Peter if he really loved Him of which he got irritated at some point that's why he then said the reason Jesus asked Peter that, He was showing him the kind of death that He must die. So it means that for one to obtain holiness there is a death that God has set for you. In me dying in that God has set for me, I'll obtain what God wants me to obtain.

'Out of the abundance of the heart'
'God is love'

It is once more that time to gather in the knowledge of Christ and grow in it. The bible says that it is God who gives spiritual shepherds. One does not have to lead him/herself into being led, you must be led by the Spirit. When you are led by the Spirit there is no foe, we must at all times be aware and careful so that we serve in the right position.

Most of the time when people serve, they serve in order to receive. But God says that freely you have received, freely you must give. This statement actually says a lot, they received freely but when they have to give freely, it becomes a problem, they receive offence. A lot of people are selling the gift of God, they are exchanging the gift of God for money. It means that causes the gospel to be cheaper. You deprive it's value from being the origin to becoming money.

If you want to see if you are rich, check the things that you have that money can't buy. If you have calculable things that can be bought by money, you can't move me. What due is it for a man to gain the whole world and yet lose his soul? How beneficial is it for a man to gain the whole world yet lose his soul? Then He says 'if your eye causes you to sin, remove it. If your hand causes you to sin, cut it'.

We must be rich, not with money but in the heart with the love of God. The minute you become rich with the love of God it means that you have absorbed God. You have drank and eaten God. You become full of Him therefore you become rich. Then we come and speak like this, out of the abundance of the heart the mouth shall speak. It means out of the fullness of God, the mouth will speak.

It's not everyone who says 'it is like fire in my bones' because it is not everyone who has God in His heart. Some can't keep quiet because of pride not because of fire. A lot of people say 'I can't keep quiet, I need to speak the Word' but it's not God speaking, it's pride. Others want to be seen, they don't speak because they want to expose God. They speak because they want to be recognised.

How beneficial is it for you to be seen yet when God looks at you He looks aside? You see, the fundamental relationship of God with a person starts n the heart. If the heart is not at the right place, it can never be a solid relationship. That one is impossible. If we were to be moved by what people do to us, we were not going to make it. There are people who speak against us, some are here but when you come we must look at you with a different eye, the eye of God. If we succumbed to what people do to us, we were not going to minister out of love.

Somebody will come and try to portray love to you, try to show love to you but it becomes more questionable because you try to show it. If you try hard to show love it means that its not love. You want to be recognised. Love speaks on its own, it has its own actions. If a wife cooks and cleans for her husband, it's not love. If a woman sleeps with her husband,it's not love because even prostitutes can do it.

Love has its own signals. Love has its own language. That's is why the bible says 'God is love' so if you love me, you will show me God. You will not show me something that you want it to be pleasing to me. That's why a lot of people fumble when they try to buy us with love. If you try to show us love in actions, you forget that love is God. So now we have to be rich, not with money. Because money comes and goes.

We have to be rich in the heart and so that our hearts may provide for our bodies. You didn't get it... you have to be rich to a point of your heart provide for your body. Your heart pumps blood throughout your whole body so that you must stay alive so the heart provides body with life. So if you become rich of God in the heart, you automatically provide life to your body.
