Thousands of miles of flying and driving and, you know, um, sea, land, air, all, everything combined. Even though I don't know who came by sea yet, but there is sea, land, air. There is sea, land, air. Praise God. We're really delighted and then, I'm sure at the end of the service tonight, Pastor Matthew will take time to acknowledge a number of our leaders that are here in this conference. We've been looking at Soterius in 12. We're still in Soterius in 12. I hope you know, even though it extended to Homecoming, but in a short while, we will start the Homecoming, you know, focus, but this is still part of the focus. Because we'll be examining the character of God in salvation. Looking into the holy scriptures to establish the position of scriptures when it comes to the character of God. The book of Hebrews, the second chapter, the first to the fourth verse. Hebrews chapter 2 verse 1 to 4 PJ.

Guest (Female): Therefore, we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.

Dr. Abel Damina: Next verse.

Guest (Female): For if the word spoken by angels was steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward.

Dr. Abel Damina: Next verse.

Guest (Female): How shall we escape if we neglect so great salvation, which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him.

Dr. Abel Damina: Next verse.

Guest (Female): God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to His own will.

Dr. Abel Damina: So it refers to so great salvation. The word kraton in the Greek, something beyond human imagination, so great salvation. Kraton, K R A T O N in the Greek. K R A T O N, Kraton. Something beyond human imagination. The creation of stars as we began to examine yesterday implies the creation of angels. And we saw that the angels of, you know, the angels, their ministry is to heirs of salvation. Hebrews chapter 1 verse number 14. Hebrews 1:14.

Guest (Female): Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?

Dr. Abel Damina: Are they not all, all of them, Seraphim, Cherubim, and all the angel categories. All right? All of them are ministering spirits or serving spirits. The word ministering, serving spirits, sent forth to be heirs of those, I mean, sent forth to the heirs of salvation. Now, holy scriptures are able to make you wise. Second Timothy 3:15, brother Paul says to Timothy that from a child, thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation, through faith which is in Christ Jesus. So, the entire theme of the scriptures is salvation, through faith which is in Christ Jesus. So, salvation is faith in Christ Jesus. Then he says, all scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine. The word doctrine is the word didaskalia, which is teaching or explanation. Scriptures are to be taught. Scriptures are to be explained. Now, when scriptures are taught and explained, they will bring the second profit, which is reproof. Reproof there is persuasion or evidence. So, the scriptures form the basis of our evidence on the subject matter, salvation, through faith which is in Christ Jesus. Now, when you have the evidence of scripture, then correction begins to happen to your mind, where you learn, unlearn, and relearn. So, correction adjustment. Now, when you are taught the scriptures and the scriptures are explained and they bring for you evidence, and out of evidence, you are corrected, the next profit will come, which is instruction in righteousness, or what we call spiritual growth. So, you grow. Why? That the man of God may be perfect, truly furnished unto every good work. Now, we began to look at the historical context of salvation in the course of this series. And we saw that the sensitivity of salvation is shown in the early church, the issues that arose at the early church, as the Samaritans were receiving the Holy Spirit in Acts chapter 8, Matthew chapter 10, and John chapter 4. And then we also saw, Acts chapter 8, Matthew 10, John 4. And then we also saw in Cornelius's household where, you know, Peter went to preach, and while Peter yet spoke, the Holy Ghost fell on all those who heard. So, we see Paul and Peter's focus was on the doctrine of salvation. Salvation is a doctrine. It's not just an experience that you have when you answer an altar call. Salvation is a doctrine, the doctrine of salvation. Look at the way Peter will speak about salvation in the book of First Peter, chapter 1, verse 10 to 11. First Peter, chapter 1, verse 10 to 11 PJ.

Guest (Female): Of which salvation the prophets have inquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you.

Dr. Abel Damina: Next verse.

Guest (Female): Searching what or what manner of time the spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ and the glory that should follow.

Dr. Abel Damina: Of which salvation, the previous verse 10, of which salvation, the the prophets have inquired. So, all the inquiries of the prophets, major prophets, minor prophets, was all inquiries and searching on the subject of salvation. And they prophesied of the grace. Again, salvation is a product of God's grace. The grace of God that bringeth salvation. So, they searched and inquired diligently, and then they prophesied of the grace which should come unto you. And the product of that grace is salvation, through faith which is in Christ Jesus. So, we began to look at the sensitivity of salvation, which is the core teaching of the entire scriptures. In the Old Testament, salvation was given to them as a promise. In the New Testament, we have salvation as the promise fulfilled. So, everything Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, everything all the Old Testament prophets prophesied and looked forward to was the coming of Christ, who is the soter of soteria. They were all looking forward to that coming. No wonder the writer of Hebrews who say, faith is the substance of things hoped for. They were hoping for it, the evidence of things not seen. They had the promise of Christ that was not seen. But today, we have seen that promise fulfilled in that God has raised Jesus again from the dead. So, that resurrection is the fulfillment of the promise of God to all the patriarchs, the prophets, the judges, the kings of the Old Testament, who looked for and desired and searched and inquired concerning the subject of salvation. Glory to God. Then we began to look at the sovereignty of God, which deals with the character of God directly. And we saw God's name in Exodus, the third chapter, the 14th verse PJ. Exodus chapter 3 verse number 14.

Guest (Female): And God said unto Moses, I am that I am, and He said, Thus shall thou say unto the children of Israel, I am hath sent me unto you.

Dr. Abel Damina: I am hath sent me unto you. The I am, ego imi. I am that I am. I will be what I will be. Yahweh, the name of God that is connected to redemption. And we saw that the first time God revealed Himself, He revealed Himself within the confines of His salvation purpose. I am that I am. I will be what I will be. God doesn't have a name, but in His mercy, He revealed Himself in a name to the man Moses. Look at Exodus, the sixth chapter, as we begin to establish the sovereignty of God. Exodus chapter 6 verse 2 and 3. Exodus 6 2 and 3 PJ.

Guest (Female): And God spake unto Moses and said unto him, I am the Lord.

Dr. Abel Damina: And said unto him, I am the Lord. I am the Lord. We saw in Genesis 3:14, I am that I am. In Genesis, Exodus 6, I am the Lord. Exodus 3:14, I am that I am. Exodus 6:2, I am the Lord. PJ, give me Exodus 6:3 now.

Guest (Female): And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob by the name of God Almighty, but by my name Jehovah was I not known to them.

Dr. Abel Damina: Next verse.

Guest (Female): And I have also established my covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their pilgrimage, wherein they were strangers.

Dr. Abel Damina: Wherein they were strangers. Now, give me that verse three again of Exodus chapter 6. The Amplified, the AMPC of verse three. PJ, let's go.

Guest (Female): I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob as God Almighty, El Shaddai. But by my name, the Lord, Yahweh, the redemptive name of God, I did not make myself known to them in acts and great miracles.

Dr. Abel Damina: But by My name the Lord, Yahweh, the redemptive name of God. So, when God revealed Himself as the I am, the self-revelation of God was within the confines of redemption. All of God's revelation in scripture is within the confines of salvation, redemption, by My redemptive name. The name of of God, which signifies salvation, Yahweh, signifies salvation. Yeshua, Yeshua, okay? Words, and we began to see words yesterday like kingdom. And we said that word kingdom is not outcome, it's always intention. Whenever you hear the king, the kingdom, the king over a kingdom is not responsible for all the outcomes of that kingdom. The king can make laws. He can make decrees in his kingdom, but the decrees and laws of the king are not outcomes. They are intentions. They are his plan. They are his purpose for that kingdom. Individuals will still have the freedom to either obey the king's instruction or disobey. So that God is the king of the universe, doesn't make Him responsible for the outcome of the decisions of the members in the universe, just like the kings of the Old Testament. So that God is king overall, that God is the king over kings, doesn't mean He's responsible for the outcome of the decisions of the citizens in His kingdom. He He reveals His plan, He reveals His will, He reveals His intent towards the citizens. But ultimately, they will have to make the decision to either cooperate with Him or not. That's why last week we took time to establish human will as part of what makes man, man. Man is not man without human will. God created man a creature of choice. He has the freedom to say yes even to God and to say no even to God. If man did not have the freedom to say yes and no to God, the will of God is to have all men to be saved, then all men will be saved. But we all know that all men don't get saved. We all know that all men don't get saved. There are people deliberately say, I don't want God and I will never believe in God till they die. So, even though God, the king of the domain, wants all men to be saved, and has taken action, the pro Rizo and the pro rismos of God, He makes His intent known and He took action to make His intent come to pass, but all subject to the acceptance or the rejection of man. Now, so, when we say the king, and when we say the kingdom of the king, we are not talking about an outcome. We are talking about an intention. God's intention. Then we looked at, you know, purpose, we're going to look at that a little more in this service, purpose, and then counsel. And then we are establishing the will, the will of God, the counsel of God, the purpose of God, and the plans of God. And then we are going to look at all of that in the next few minutes. But it's important for me to establish quickly that the will of God is not an outcome. We saw that yesterday. The will of God is an intent. God will have. God will have. Not God will force. Not God will decide. But God will have all men to be saved. That's the will of God, to have all men to be saved, but all men are not saved. Why? Because man has a will given to him by God and has the freedom to make the choice to accept God's will or not, beginning from Genesis chapter 2. The tree of life, the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. If you take that other one, you will be dead. But the choice is yours. Man was created a creature of choice. So, that means God is not in control of all things. God is not in control of all things. The moment God gave man the the power to choose, God left the control of all things to man where this planet is concerned. The Heaven, even the Heaven is your throne. The Earth you have given to the sons of men. So, yesterday we saw the will, the will of God, the Greek word, boulemai. B O U L A M A I, which means to want or an intent. All right? And then yesterday we also saw the purpose of God. You know, all things work together for good to all those who are the called, according to His purpose. So, the purpose of God is not an outcome. The purpose of God is still an intent. According to His purpose. But that purpose is not an outcome. That purpose is intent, the intention of God. The word prothesis in the Greek. P R O T H E S I S. P R O T H E S I S. Now, yesterday we saw the, I mean, the counsel, we saw to will, now we're looking at purpose. If you are not in the second service, they're all there. You can go get all the details. Now, the word prothesis refers to a resolve, a resolve. It refers to a plan. It refers to a design. A resolve, a plan, a design. It's always specific to God's plan for salvation. Every time you read purpose in the New Testament, it is always specific. It's not purpose. It is purpose to an end. The end of all of God's purpose is salvation. All of God's purpose. Somebody says, what is your purpose in life? Well, your purpose in life will always be as a child of God within God's salvation purpose. So, that's why your career is not your purpose. Your career is your choice. You're not a doctor because God planned for you to be a doctor. You're a doctor because you saw a doctor when growing up and you developed a desire to be a doctor. That's why there's no reward in Heaven for doctors. Reward in Heaven is for ministry. There's no reward in Heaven for engineers. There's no reward in Heaven for carpenters. If there's reward in Heaven for carpenters, there will be reward in Heaven for farmers. Then there will be reward in Heaven for people who sweep the road. Then of course, there will be reward in Heaven for people who sell groundnut. All of those are choices men make to bring value to men on Earth and men give them money in exchange for that value brought. That is the reward for all career to pay for it. That's the reward. But ministry will not be rewarded on Earth. Ministry will be rewarded by Jesus because ministry is part of God's eternal purpose, eternal purpose. Ministry, like I said, all purpose in God is as it refers to salvation. Not general human events. Look at Romans 8:29. Pay attention. Romans chapter 8 verse 29 PJ.

Guest (Female): For whom He did foreknow, He also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren.

Dr. Abel Damina: Next verse.

Guest (Female): Moreover, whom He did predestinate, them He also called. And whom He called, them He also justified. And whom He justified, them He also glorified.

Dr. Abel Damina: Them He also glorified. Next verse.

Guest (Female): What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?

Dr. Abel Damina: If God be for us. How do I know that God is for us? He foreknew us, He predestinated us, He called us, He justified us, He glorified us. All of those are the pro rismos of God to back the pro Rizo of God to show that God is for us. None of those actions is taken from us. All of those actions is to give to us. If God be for us, this is the proof that God is for us. Therefore, when he says, who can be against us? He's not talking about an enemy in the village, a village enemy. Who can be against us? Simply means, who shall lay charge? Who shall bring condemnation? Who shall disqualify you in the presence of God with all these actions that God took to show you that He's for you? That's why he says, if God be for us, put it up, who can be against us? That you, he that spared not his own son. That's the proof that God is for you. He that spared not his own son, but gave him up for us all. How shall he not with him also, freely give us all things? Next verse. Who shall lay anything? In the presence of what Jesus has done, who shall lay anything to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justified. So, when somebody tries to say, remember, you are like this, Jesus says, no, my blood took care of that. Remember, you are like this. No, my blood took care of that. I offered the sacrifice once and for all. So, who shall lay anything to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justified. Watch, watch, watch, the next verse, the next verse. Who is he that condemneth? Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died. Yeah, rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also make it. He has not retired from making. So, as long as he's still making intercession, no charge. So, even in your present wrong, his intercessory office takes care of that. Glory to God. Somebody says, Dr. Damina has given people license to sin. No, sir. You, you are making caricature of the once and for all sacrifice of Jesus. You are making caricature of that. That is sacrilege. That is abomination. Under the law, you should be stoned. Oh, yeah, we make light of sin because Jesus defeated sin. We make light of sin because Jesus is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only, but for the sins of the whole world. Yes, we make light of sin because sin shall not have dominion over the man that is in Christ. Yes, we make light of sin because, how shall we that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? Yes. We make light of sin because there is one mediator between God and man, the man Christ Jesus, who make it intercession for us. It's not like Jesus is kneeling down before the Father and saying, daddy, daddy, don't be angry, don't be angry. I saw what he did, don't be angry. No, no. Jesus, what he has done, the finished work that he has done is the intercession. His finished work is the intercession. As long as that finished work is there, the devil cannot lay any charge to your account. The devil does not have that audacity because there is therefore now no condemnation to those who are where? In Christ. Where are you? So, you're free from condemnation forever and ever and ever. I thought somebody will shout, hallelujah. So, so, all of those actions are God's actions to show you that no one can be against you. Ephesians 1:11. Ephesians chapter 1 verse number 11.

Guest (Female): In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of Him, who worketh all things after the counsel of His own will.

Dr. Abel Damina: According to the purpose of Him. That purpose of Him. His purpose will be seen in His working of all things. How is He working all things? All things here, not all things. All things here is panta. All these things. All He worketh all these things. Question. What are all these things that He worketh after the counsel of His will? All these things from verse three. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us. One of the things He's working after the counsel of His will, He has blessed us. Next verse, verse four. According as He has chosen us in Him before the foundation of the world. That's another thing He's working after the counsel of His will. Next one, having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ. That's one of the things He is working after the counsel of His will. To the praise of the glory of His grace, wherein He had made us accepted in the beloved. All of that is part, these are the things in whom we have redemption through His blood, even the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His, one of the things He's working after the counsel of, I think like I'm teaching good here. Next verse, next verse eight, wherein He had abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence. One of those things. Next verse, verse nine, having made known unto us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure. Nobody forced Him to do it. Nobody prayed for Him to do it. Nobody cajoled Him to do. Nobody intimidated Him. It is according to His good pleasure, which He had proposed where? In Himself. Next verse. That in the dispensation of the fullness of the times, He might gather together in one all things. He might gather all these things in one person, which is in Christ, both which are in Heaven and Earth, even in Him. Next verse. In whom also, we have obtained these things, our inheritance, being predestinated, according to the purpose. So, all of these things are a summary of that purpose that are worked after the counsel of His will, which eventually is summarized as salvation. Summarized as salvation. Second Timothy chapter 1 verse 9 PJ. Second Timothy chapter 1 verse number 9.

Guest (Female): Who hath saved us and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began.

Dr. Abel Damina: So, God's purpose. What is God's purpose for my life? God's purpose and grace has been given to you. You're not confused about God's purpose, according to His own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus. When? Before the world began. So, where is my purpose? In Christ. So, it's not some purpose that you go look for in some school somewhere. That purpose is in Christ. God's purpose for your life is in Christ. It's not outside Christ. You can never find God's purpose outside Christ. It's in Christ. There's not some kind of a motivational speaking purpose that they don't even know how they end it. They will speak and speak nice, nice talk, but when you look at it, it's all empty. It doesn't lead to anywhere. They make you feel good while you are there, but when you leave there, you don't know what you had, but you paid a lot of money for it. No, that's not what we're talking about here. We're talking about your purpose in Christ Jesus. What, who hath saved us? Put it up. Who hath saved us? He's not going to save us. He hath saved us. Not only saved us, called us. What kind of calling? Holy calling. Not according to our works. So, salvation is of the Lord 100%. Not according to our works, but according to His purpose and grace. Romans chapter 9 verse 11. Romans chapter 9 verse 11.

Guest (Female): For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that called.

Dr. Abel Damina: The purpose of God according to election is not of works. The purpose of God according to election. These children have not been born. They have not done good or evil. But that, but that the purpose of God according to election might stand. He say, Jacob, I love. Esau, I hate. That is, God is saying, I hate works. I hate works. You will, there's nothing you will ever do to make me love works. I hate works. I love grace. Jacob is grace. Esau is works. Abel is grace. Cain is works. I hate works. Not of works, lest any man should boast. It is the gift of God. I hate works. It's not a man. We're dealing with Jacob as a function. We're dealing with Esau as a function. We're not dealing with individuals. These are concepts of the grace of God. Cain and Abel, concept. All right? Are you in the building here? Esau and Jacob, concept. Are you following? Are you following? Are you following? Are you following? Ishmael, Ishmael, Ishmael and Isaac, concept of grace. It's nothing about individuals. These are concepts to explain the workings of God's grace. I'm teaching good here. These are concepts. Because He has already told you, these children have not been born. They have not been born. So, there's, their contribution is not required, neither their subtraction. But that the purpose of election, which means God's election is not predicated on anything anybody has done. It's predicated on what Christ has done. When you receive what Christ has done, you are part of God's election. So, the elected one is Christ. Nobody is elected and nobody is rejected. Only Christ is elected. And when you receive Christ, you become elected. Teaching good. These are concepts of God's grace. So, that's God's purpose. God's purpose in Christ Jesus. God's purpose where? In Christ Jesus. All right? So, purpose is not generalized. Again, you can't use purpose to to to to to to blame God for man's choices and the outcome of man's choices. No, you can't use purpose. You can't use will of God to blame God for man's choices. You marry a wife that is beating you. You can't blame God for the beating you are receiving. It's not God's will. Neither is it God's purpose. God's purpose and will are not seen in marriage. Marriage is man's choice, man's will and man's plan. God's purpose, God's will is where? In salvation. You hear you. So, man is the most powerful thing on the Earth and the will of man. Because the will of man can stop God from doing something on Earth. And the will of man can stop Satan forever. Why Satan is pushing you around? Because you don't know the power of your will. You have a will. You can say, that's why neither give place to the devil. Resist the devil. He will flee because you you are in charge. The next time, the next time any power citizen complains about Satan, give him a right hand of fellowship. I have taught you enough to know that Satan has been defeated. You're in charge. Somebody says I'm in charge. Say Satan is not in charge. I am in charge. I refuse to blame Satan for what I allow. I'm in charge. Whatever I bind is bound. If I tell Satan, no. No is no. In My name you shall cast out what? Who is to cast out devils? So, all devils are subject to the authority of the believer. Say I'll take responsibility for running this Earth. I create my world. The way I want it. I am in charge. You are in charge. You are in charge. How many of you observe? God wanted to go to to to to Sodom and Gomorrah. Abraham said, God, come, come, come. Where are you going? He said, Sodom. What for? To destroy. Oh, Lot is there now. God said, okay, what do you want? Wait, wait. God, let's talk. Let's talk. You know I'm in charge. Let's talk. So, I can give you access. Let's talk. If you go there and find 50 righteous men, will you destroy? No, I will not destroy. Okay, wait, wait. Let my God not be angry. What about 40? What about 30? What about 20? What about 10? Then Abraham stopped. Abraham should have said, what about five? If man had intervened, God will have respected it. But because man did not take it to its logical conclusion, God will allow what you allow. God will allow what you allow. How do you explain Jacob holding an angel all night? How do you explain Jacob? He held the angel down. The angel said, I'm going, say, come here, I'm going to stay here. Stay here. People that worship angels should go and meet Jacob for classes. I'm sure the angel say, God, I have been kidnapped. The ransom is blessing. What do you want me to, this I won't come back here. They have kept me here. God said, change his name from Jacob to Israel. That as a prince, you have prevailed. So, Jacob prevailed over the angel. That is before Jesus died. How much more after Jesus died? Glory to God. Glory to God. Glory to God. Somebody shot, I am in authority here. I'm in charge. By the Holy Ghost. I will change my world. I preach the gospel. I announce the truth of the gospel to my generation. Because of me, millions have hope, have a future because the sentence of God is in my mouth, and I will announce it to the ends of the Earth. Glory to God. Father, I pray for everybody under the sound of my voice. As your amen will come like thunder, rule your world. Take charge of your world. You preach the gospel in and out of season. And as you go preaching, the Lord working with you, confirming His word with signs and wonders. In the name of Jesus. Wherever you are found, you are kept by the power of God. I declare that your mouth is very loud with the gospel. In and out of season, you preach the gospel. You are kept and delivered from wicked and unreasonable men. In the name of Jesus. You are fired up to manifest the grace of God. It is well with you. And I declare the remaining days of this week as we begin to celebrate and fellowship together.

The Word of God is light. The Bible tells us, the entrance of God's Word giveeth light and it giveeth understanding to the simple. As you keep listening, the light of God's Word rises out of the rightly divided Word of Truth. It illuminates your mind, illuminates your heart, and bring you face to face with your realities in Christ Jesus. In Ephesians chapter 3 verse 3, brother Paul, speaking about the mystery, the Old Testament, he says, whereby, when you read, you may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ. So, there is a knowledge in the mystery of Christ. The word mystery is the word musterion in the Greek. It means that which is concealed. And then he says, how that by revelation. The word revelation is the word apocalypsis. It means that which is revealed. So, the revelation of the scriptures unveils the mysteries. Revelation is the New Testament. Mystery is the Old Testament. But it will take reading and learning to come to a place of full understanding, precise and accurate knowledge. Brother Daniel will say, I understood by books. So, there's a place of books in equipping you soundly with the message of Christ. Brother Paul will write to Timothy, he says to Timothy, till I come, give attendance to reading. Jesus, speaking to those Jews, says, you do err because you know not the scriptures nor the power of God. Often times, Jesus will say to the Jews, have you not read? is the word anaginosko in the Greek. It means, are you reading and not paying attention? I want to quickly recommend for you a plethora of books I have written. They are written with an intent to bring you doctrinal clarity, answer your questions doctrinally, and bring you to a place of accurate understanding, a precise knowledge of Christ and you in Christ.
