INFEMI SOE 2019 (Day 4) – The Bull Of Consecration: INFEMI Sermon By Bishop Eliakim Osewe
You shall also take one of the rams, and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands upon the head of the ram. And you shall kill the ram and you shall take its blood and throw it against the altar round about. And you shall cut the ram in pieces and wash its entrails and legs and put them with its pieces and its head, And you shall burn the whole ram upon the altar. It is a burnt offering to the Lord; it is a sweet and satisfying fragrance, an offering made by fire to the Lord.
And you shall take the other ram, and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands upon the head of the ram; Then you shall kill the ram and take part of its blood and put it on the tip of the right ears of Aaron and his sons and on the thumb of their right hands and on the great toe of their right feet, and dash the rest of the blood against the altar round about.
Then you shall take part of the blood that is on the altar, and of the anointing oil, and sprinkle it upon Aaron and his garments and on his sons and their garments; and he and his garments and his sons and their garments shall be sanctified and made holy. Also you shall take the fat of the ram, the fat tail, the fat that covers the entrails, the appendage on the liver, the two kidneys with the fat that is on them, and the right thigh; for it is a ram of consecration and ordination.
Take also one loaf of bread, and one cake of oiled bread, and one wafer out of the basket of the unleavened bread that is before the Lord. And put all these in the hands of Aaron and his sons and they shall wave them for a wave offering before the Lord. Then you shall take them from their hands, add them to the burnt offering, and burn them on the altar for a sweet and satisfying fragrance before the Lord; it is an offering made by fire to the Lord.
Exodus 29:15-25 (AMPC)
The ram of consecration was eaten.
And when they had gone over, Elijah said to Elisha, Ask what I shall do for you before I am taken from you. And Elisha said, I pray you, let a double portion of your spirit be upon me. He said, You have asked a hard thing. However, if you see me when I am taken from you, it shall be so for you—but if not, it shall not be so.
2 Kings 2:9-10 (AMPC)
Until the brooks dried up for Elisha that is when the Lord spoke.
The lord desires to take the church to the 4th dimension which is extra ordinary.
The 4th dimension is not a dimension in time but one in eternity.
The mantle is the license that gives you authority to function in that particular office.
Perception is the ability to change fact into truth.
Facts are physical.
Jesus said, They do not need to go away; you give them something to eat. They said to Him, We have nothing here but five loaves and two fish.
He said, Bring them here to Me. Then He ordered the crowds to recline on the grass; and He took the five loaves and the two fish, and, looking up to heaven, He gave thanks and blessed and broke the loaves and handed the pieces to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people.
Matthew 14:16-19 (AMPC)
Jesus moved in a dimension of spiritual perception.
Jesus was able to perceive the dimension of eternity.
Then Elisha prayed, “Lord, I pray You, open his eyes that he may see.” And the Lord opened the young man’s eyes, and he saw, and behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.
And when the Syrians came down to him, Elisha prayed to the Lord, “Smite this people with blindness, I pray You.” And God smote them with blindness, as Elisha asked.
2 Kings 6:17-18 (AMPC)
The Church should be able to embrace this dimensions of the miraculous.
The Church needs to re-position itself because the prophetic is the cutting edge of revival.
So Jesus answered them by saying, I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, the Son is able to do nothing of Himself (of His own accord); but He is able to do only what He sees the Father doing, for whatever the Father does is what the Son does in the same way [in His turn].
John 5:19 (AMPC)
Perception comes as a result of transformation.
I appeal to you therefore, brethren, and beg of you in view of [all] the mercies of God, to make a decisive dedication of your bodies [presenting all your members and faculties] as a living sacrifice, holy (devoted, consecrated) and well pleasing to God, which is your reasonable (rational, intelligent) service and spiritual worship.
Romans 12:1 (AMPC)
If at all we will move into the new dimension, there has to be a change of mind.
The Lord was preparing the minds of the Israelites for change through the commandments.
We have two brains: the carnal brain and the brain of the heart.
The voice of the inner man advises the place of the free will in light with the mind of God.
You are a prophet of your own destiny.
Sons are able to perceive the voice of God.
There is a mystery that is hidden in consecration.
Elijah understood this dimension. He calls people near him, kills the bull of justification, digs the trench of separation and pours the water of sanctification. In the evening time, there was the fire of consecration.
For everyone shall be salted with fire.
Mark 9:49 (AMPC)
Every cereal offering you shall season with salt [symbol of preservation]; neither shall you allow the salt of the covenant of your God to be lacking from your cereal offering; with all your offerings you shall offer salt.
Leviticus 2:13 (AMPC)
Salt speaks on personal holiness.
The fire of God fell onto the sacrifice.
The waving represents the surrendering of your will and intellect to God.
There is a dimension of stress where you begin to shed blood. Jesus was the wave offering as seen in the Garden of Gethsemane.
There are many of us who don’t understand the wave offering because it is a time of affliction.
Your afflictions are light afflictions but they are going to bring about the weight of God’s glory.
God created a transfer factor.
You have to be holy because you are the salt.
