The Principle Of Life (Part 4): Sermon Series By Bishop Gobanga
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.
John 10:10 (KJV)
Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born?
Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
John 3:3-6 (KJV)
When you encounter Christ in an element that you’ve never perceived, it deprograms everything you’ve ever known.
Paul considered everything he knew in the past to be dung so that he could attain to Christ. There is more in Christ than we can ever know. You realize that you’ve been living a lie, that you have not even lived a fragment of what God has for you when you encounter the heights, breaths and lengths of God.
Jesus did not come to take us to heaven. Heaven belongs to God and earth He gave to man. He came to restore man to the place of function so that man can exercise his dominion on earth.
As mankind, we are supposed to get things from the invisible realm i.e revelation and manifest them on earth.
The fall of man made man subject to creation instead of being master of it.
To be born again is to tune yourself to the vibrational frequencies of the primordial energy that fashioned and created the universe.
To be born again means to be begotten, you are begotten from the beginning. It’s not just to be delivered from the causes and consequences of sin i.e you are born from the highest place of your origin. It’s found within the Godhead. This is the place where Jeremiah was known as a prophet.
God is not just taking us to the end but back to the beginning. God is taking us from beginning to beginning.
The fall of man made man susceptible to pain, death, etc.
Eternity invaded time in the embodiment of Christ in human form.
The blood of Jesus symbolizes the eternal life of God. Eternal life is the light of the knowledge of God.
When man was created, he had light in his understanding. He walked in high levels of discernment.
Darkness of the soul is the darkness that fills the earth. It’s as a result of separation of God. Where there is no glory, there is darkness.
False religion is the result of a darkened soul. There is no discernment of the glory of God in a place of false religion. False religion has no understanding of the glory of God.
To be ignorant of the glory of God is to be ignorant of His attributes and nature.
Light and darkness incorporates two elements: intellect and morality. Light heightens your intellect and moral capability.
A philosophy that is not accompanied by a higher moral capability is degraded philosophy.
When Christ came on earth, He was trying to introduce us back to our origins.
God wants us to come to a place where we are able to introduce the fragrance of the knowledge of God to all creation.
God and man are not to be separate things, they are meant to be integrated. God wants us to allow our hearts to be His altar. Man is the image of the invisible God.
Never seek God from a separate state. God resides in you. When we are seeking God, we are seeking who He is in us.
When we are seeking God, we are seeking to know who we are on the inside. The more you seek Christ in you, the more He makes you know who you are.
When you submit to the whole counsel of God through the Holy Spirit, demons will flee. Nothing can overcome you.
Our oneness with God enables us to be like Him.
God expects us as man (the corporate man) to be the manifestation of God on earth. God ordained that He manifests Himself in us and then we manifest the same glory to creation.
We seek God within Himself not out of Himself. We seek God because He belongs to us.
Once a man is in the frequency of Christ, his dominion is restored and he enters harmony with creation.
Water signifies the primordial element that life is withdrawn from.
The Kingdom of God is not heaven and neither is it a place. The Kingdom of God is executed from heaven. Heaven is the throne room (the State House) of God. It is not the Kingdom of God.
It is not the responsibility of God to bring order to the earth. It is the responsibility of man, who is in concord with God.
Man carries the DNA of God.
Man is a portal through which divinity can access the physical. God needs a man who is able to understand His plan and purposes.
Jesus came to teach us the principles of life. The Person of Christ takes us to heaven to download things, then principles of Christ help us manifest what we download.
There is an incorruptible part of the Divine in you.
The purpose of the universe is to unveil the Divine and actualize the self-awareness of God.
The greatest tragedy of life is to live a life without purpose. Man was never ordained to live in uncertainty.
Man is the physical manifestation of the Godhead. In man, there is a fullness of God bodily.
In every human being there is a desire to bring change. How we go about it is what is wanting.
When you find it hard to give, it is because you are not walking in discernment of glory. You do not know who you are and you see everyone as an enemy.
God wanted man to have a desire to manifest what is invisible to the visible.
Man has the capacity to reconcile all elements of creation back to their origin. We have the capacity because Christ in us is the hope of glory.
God wants to see a balanced ecosystem within us. What we do on the outside should be a reflection of the ecosystem in us.
When God created the human race, He put all that was in Him in man (the Body of Christ). When man fell, he didn’t lose heaven, he lost dominion.
Dominion is a factor of purpose. When you know your purpose and exercise dominion, you’ll have the earth.
When you lose dominion, it is because you’ve lost purpose. Find your purpose and you’ll have dominion on earth.
Having dominion over death is to bring eternity into time.
The tree of the knowledge of good and evil is a matrix of illusions, struggles and battles that man can’t handle.
At their height of maturity, Adam and Eve realized that they had attained a level of god-likeness that they couldn’t handle. They accessed it but not through obedience.
There are some scrolls in life that you should only access through obedience. The tree of the knowledge of good and evil represented some scrolls of God that were to be accessed only through obedience.
Obedience will always yield higher levels of freedom and liberty.
People who have not matured need be taken to the school of God.
Adam and Eve decided they wanted to access the glory of God through their own experience instead of obedience. God never ordained for us to attain certain things through experience but through obedience.
God wants His children to grow in freedom, stature and adulthood through obedience.
Obedience ushers you into the realms of glory. You do not need to pursue sin to usher you into maturity.
God ordained that we should go through life by submitting to the counsel of His word, not through experience.
