Righteous Invasion of Truth

Guest (Male): Feel the power. Welcome to Righteous Invasion of Truth with Dr. Abel Damina.

Dr. Abel Damina: Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, praise the Lord. Abel Damina is my name. I want to welcome you to this broadcast, a time of learning, a time of unlearning, and a time of relearning.

The essence of this broadcast is to bring to you the revelation of Jesus Christ. The mandate of God on our ministry is the revelation of Jesus, reintroducing Jesus to this generation, equipping the believer to know who you are in Christ, what you have in Christ, and what Christ can do through you. So get ready, fasten your seatbelts today. We're going to adventure in the scripture.

The scriptures tell us in John 5:39, Jesus speaking to the Jews said, "You search the scriptures for in them you think you have eternal life, but they are they which testify of me." The Bible is Christocentric. It's a message centered on the person of Jesus Christ.

So get ready today as we traverse through the pages of the scriptures, unveiling Christ so we can reveal your true identity in Christ. Once you know who you are in Christ, then you will know what you have in Christ, and then you can be able to know what Christ can do through you. It gives you a life of fulfillment, a life that is purpose-driven so you can make the impact you were designed to make in this life through the gospel of Jesus Christ. Call a friend, call a loved one, tell somebody to tell somebody to hook up right now as I take you into that service where the Spirit of our God is already moving. Happy listening.

We're still continuing with our teaching on in Christ, Brother Paul's revelation of identification in Christ. John chapter five verse number 39, "Search the scriptures for in them you think you have eternal life and they are they which testify of me." He says the scriptures testify of me.

In Luke chapter 24 verse 25 to 27, when Jesus was on the way to Emmaus, he met two disciples of his, Cleopas and his friend, and they were discussing about the events of the past three days. In the course of their discourse, they were preaching Jesus to Jesus.

Then Jesus turned to them and he said to them, "O fools, slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken. Ought not Christ to have suffered these things and to enter into his glory?" And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself. He expounded to them in all the prophets, all the scriptures, the things concerning himself.

So we say the Bible is Christocentric. That is, the message of the scriptures is a person. His name is the Christ. He is the thought, the reason behind the scriptures. He is the reason behind the scriptures.

In Luke chapter 24 verse 44, in the course of that discourse, he said, "These are the words which I spoke unto you while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled which were written in the Law of Moses and in the Prophets and in the Psalms concerning me." Then opened he their understanding that they might understand the scriptures and said unto them, "Thus it is written, and thus it behooved Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day."

In our study so far, we have said that we have a man-like God. We don't have a God-like Christ. We have a Christ-like God, and that is, he is a man. Within the week, we concluded that whosoever was referred to in the scriptures as Christ, he is a man. All of God's revelation was deposited in man.

You shouldn't see stars and rolling thunders and moon and mountains to be able to locate God. When you look in Christ, you see all of God's revelation. Christ is a man. Now man is that revelation of God, not just man, but the man in Christ.

We want to examine the term Son of God. You hear some people say, "Does God have a wife? If Jesus is God, why is he called Son of God?" We want to examine the term Son of God. The idea we have about the Son of God is that sometime in the dateless past, there was a Father, there was a Son, and there was a Spirit.

Some people say the Old Testament is the dispensation of God the Father, the Gospels are the dispensation of Jesus, and the New Testament is the dispensation of the Holy Ghost. All of those confusion is because of a lack of proper attention to the details of scripture. They even say the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, then somebody rearranged it and said it's the Father, the Spirit, and the Son, because someone said the Spirit is the mother of Jesus because the Bible said he was born of the Holy Spirit. People come up with all kinds of things.

But John doesn't say so in his gospel. Look at John chapter one verse 18. "No man hath seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him." We have also read John chapter one verse one, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God," or the Word points to God. Then in John chapter one verse 14, "And the Word became flesh, the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth."

In the Greek, it says the only begotten. It refers to a word, mono, meaning one, then genis, monogenis. Genis means one who came from another. So that word is monogenis. That word monogenis was used in this context, not for a number. It's not like God had only one son and now he is looking for a bigger family. It's not used for a number.

Sometimes translations can get it wrong. The word monogenis is used basically sometimes for numbers, but in this context, it is not used for numbers. It is used for uniqueness. Monogenis, uniqueness, something that stands on its own.

For example, look at where it is used. Luke 7:12, the widow's only son. "When he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow." Look at Luke chapter eight verse 42, Jairus' only daughter. "For he had one only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she lay a dying." Luke 9:38, "Behold, a man of the company cried out, saying, Master, I beseech thee, look upon my son, for he is mine only child."

Monogenis where you have it used for numbers is where we just read: mine only child, the only daughter of Jairus, or the widow's only son. However, the context of John is not numbers. The word monogenis obviously is an adjective. What an adjective does is to describe a noun. So the noun is the son. This describes the son.

What does it describe about the son? Interestingly, you will find out besides the book of Hebrews, only John's epistles carry this term, the only begotten Son. In John 1:14, "the only begotten." John 1:18, "the only." John 3:16, "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son." Then in 1st John chapter four verse nine, "In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him."

The word begotten already presupposes that this person came from another. Gennao, to come from, used for birth. Gennao is a Greek word used for birth. It is used for the eternal state of Jesus. If it is used for the eternal state of Jesus, then that would mean he started to exist at a time. That would mean he came from the Father at a time, which doesn't really follow.

He said, "In the beginning," which is dateless past, "was the Word." In the dateless past was the Word. So if he existed in the dateless past, he can't be coming from the Father at any point in time before now.

Look at Hebrews chapter 11 verse 17. Let's examine that only begotten again. "By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac. And he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son. Of whom it was said, that in Isaac shall thy seed be called."

Notice that if this was referring to Isaac, then Isaac is not the only begotten, because there was Ishmael before Isaac was born. So he was not referring to Isaac as the only child in this context. He was actually using Isaac to foreshadow Christ, because Christ is the only begotten. That's why he said, "In Isaac shall your seed be called," not Isaac.

Because Isaac's birth was unique, Isaac was called a child of the Spirit. That is why Isaac foreshadows Christ. His birth was unique. He's a child of the Spirit or a child of promise. So the word monogenis therefore in this context would be a unique birth.

A unique birth. That is, there is something unique about this particular birth. When he says genuos, genuos is a word that has to do with kind, a stock, like a breed. Genis, like a type or a kind.

So when he says monogenis, from which genuine came from, it is a breed that came from a kind. That is, we can trace the source to this person. We can trace his origin to this person. So when he says, "his only begotten Son," John explains what he means by "the only begotten Son" in John 1:18.

"No man hath seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him." No man hath seen God at any time. That is uniqueness. No man has this descent. Nobody does. That is to say, this man came from God. This one came from deity or this one originated from God.

When he says the only begotten, the Greek translation understands that this is like the father. He is from the father. Why? Because the word Son is the word huios. The word huios means one with the father. Huios, one with the father. The huios of God. It means like the father or just like the father.

Now let me explain this. That means Jesus the Son of God. Again, it describes humanity and deity. This is like the father, humanity and deity. Deity because he pre-existed before coming forth. He pre-existed before coming forth.

The fact that he came from the father, he is humanity. The fact that he came from the father, he is humanity. So he has humanity and deity. So when there is a combination of humanity and deity, it is called Son of God. Son of God means a combination of humanity and deity.

Because God's Son is a man, the hypostatic union. You have divinity in humanity. So an amalgamation of divinity and humanity is what is referred to as Son of God. Look at John chapter 10 verse 30, "I and Father are one." Verse 33, "The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God."

They said, "You being a man, make yourself God." That was the issue they had. You make yourself God. You're always trying to compare yourself with God. That was their issue with Jesus. And that was why they wanted to kill him, because it was blasphemy in their Jewish tradition. Because he kept claiming deity when he said, "I and Father are one." That is, we have the same genetic composition.

They said, "You are claiming deity when you are just a man." Now he is the only begotten of the Father. It means he came uniquely from the Father. He came especially uniquely from the Father. And that descent into humanity, that descent of God into humanity, bringing deity and humanity together, is called Son of God.

Matthew chapter one verse 18, "Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: when as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost." That word 'child' is the same word 'pregnant.' That word 'child,' gaster in the Greek. Same word used for a pregnant woman.

That is, she was found pregnant of the Holy Ghost. She was found pregnant of the Holy Ghost. That's a better word. She was found pregnant of the Holy Ghost. So it's not child like a child growing up. She was found pregnant of the Holy Ghost.

Look at Luke chapter one verse 35, "And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God." So the conception is what was referred to as the Son of God.

The conception is what was referred to as the Son of God. So the Son of God is the incarnate God in man. The Son of God is the incarnate God in man. That term is used for pregnancy. She is pregnant of the Holy Ghost.

Go to Isaiah chapter seven verse 14. "Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel." Son of God. He was not Son of God before he came to the earth. Let me repeat, he was not Son of God before he descended into humanity.

Before his descent into humanity, he was not Son of God. Because that conception, the monogenis, is the Word become flesh. If you say genis, there must be a genuos. There must be a when did he come to the earth. Well, we know that he came at the incarnation. So this describes the sonship. The incarnation describes the sonship.

Don't forget, monogenis is an adjective. This describes the sonship of Jesus. The incarnation describes the sonship of Jesus. That is, he came from the father, he is the son. Because you see, you will find out that the function Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost are unique to the redemptive work of Christ. That term Father, Son, Holy Ghost are unique to the redemptive work of Christ.

You only explain Father, Son, Holy Ghost from the redemptive work of Jesus. That is the only place you can explain that from. You won't find that terminology used in the Old Covenant because there was no basis for Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost. The basis for that Father, Son, Holy Ghost was the sacrifice of Jesus, called the Son.

God became flesh. Then the Holy Ghost dwells in us. Then the Father. God became flesh. Then the Holy Ghost dwells in us. Then the Father. It's attached and connected and can only be explained within the sacrificial work of Jesus. So those terminologies have to do with the redemptive work of Christ.

Let's proceed. Isaiah chapter seven verse 14 again. "Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel." Conceive and bear a son. Take note of that.

Look at Isaiah chapter nine verse six. "Unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon the shoulder of this son." This son that is born, this son that is given, the government shall be upon his shoulder. And his name, the name of this son, the name of this child that is born and given, his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God.

This Son that is born, this Son that is given is the mighty God. He is the everlasting Father. He is the Prince of Peace. Is it clear here? This Son, this Son that is born is actually God in human flesh union, united with man. Immanuel is the presence of joining. It is the presence of union.

Why does he use two different terms for the same person? A child is born, conceive and bear a son. A child is born because 'child' there refers to the conception, and 'son' there refers to the quality of the conception. Child, conception. Son, the quality of the conception.

That is, this is a child by conception. He is a seed or he is a son by description. A child by conception, a son by description. Are you following? So he wasn't a child that grew to be a son. He was a son by that birth. That birth is what is referred to as child, conceived. Conceived of. So he didn't grow to be a son. He was a son by virtue of the incarnation.

In the Old Testament, God called Israel my son. Did he conceive them? No. But he called them Israel my son. So when he said child, it means pregnant of the Holy Ghost, conception. Son is the quality. Son describes him. That is, that which is a child of the Holy Ghost is the Son of God. So son describes the quality, child describes the how.

Now bring that understanding to John chapter one verse one. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." Verse two, "The same was in the beginning with God." Verse three, "All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made." Now verse 10, John 1:10, "He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not."

Give me verse 11. "He came unto his own, and his own received him not." So that shows you a pre-existence. He pre-existed. He was in the world. The world was made by him.

Verse 12, "But as many as receive him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name." Son there is the word teknon. Teknon is the word child, children of God. When you are listening to me teach, it's not just for you to understand. I teach also for you to be able to teach others. The message that saves you makes a messenger out of you.

Some people come up with a teaching that when you are born again, you are a child, then when you grow up you become a son. Isn't that funny? I remember back in the days they used to tell us, when you are born you are a child, when you mature you are given. "Unto us a child is born, but unto us a son is given." So until you become a son you cannot be given. All kinds of junk.

We believed it because we didn't know any better. When he says as many as believe to them he gave the right, that word power is the word right, to become the children of God. It's like saying to them he gave the right to be born of God. They don't get born of God as children like a quality then they grow to be sons. That's not how it works.

He uses the word teknon. Teknon is similar to what we have been saying, conceived of, a seed. Someone conceived of or born of. Whereas son describes the quality, like the father.

Actually, in Greek mythology, which was used before the Bible was written, the terminology son is used for a mature son of a man who takes possession of his property or who acts in his stead. This is why people get it wrong because they're using the ancient Greek mythology to explain the concept. So John uses the word teknon. He gave us power to become teknon of God.

Look at 1st John chapter three. Assuming he is saying because when you are born again, you are born a teknon of God and some of us are now a huios of God. Look at 1st John 3:1. "Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not." John uses it again, sons of God.

Look at 1st John chapter two verse 12. "I write unto you little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his namesake." I write to you little children. And if you observe, he also said I write unto you fathers. Then he also said I write unto you young men because you're strong and you've overcome the wicked one.

First John 3:1, "Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not." Verse two, "Now are we the teknon of God." It has nothing to do with a spiritual size. Now are we the sons of God.

So teknon just mean descendant. A descendant. Sometimes when someone dies, they write he is survived by children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren. Let's say the man died at 100. He is survived by children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren. Maybe his first son is 80. He is survived by children. His 80-year-old son is called children. He is a child of the man. It doesn't mean he is small. 80 years old, a child of the man who died at 100. Then grandchildren who may be 50-something. Great-grandchildren who may be 30, 40, 60, 80. They are all called children.

Children refer to your descendant, someone who came from you. So Jesus being a child of the Holy Ghost means he is conceived of God as a son. So we are born of the Spirit, children as sons. We are born of the Spirit, children as sons.

Paul now interplays with the words to describe same person. In Romans chapter eight, the term adoption, where a slave takes the position of a son. This son is a child, or this son is a descendant. That is, he was conceived.

Romans 8:14 uses huios. "For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God." Verse 15, "For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father." Now the word adoption is the Greek word potesia. Adoption already tells you, you receive the spirit of sonship.

Galatians chapter four verse five and six, "To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father."

Romans 8:16, "The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God." The word teknon. So an huios is an heir. The use of those concepts describes us. I am a child by conception. I am a son by nature and by status. I am a child by conception, a son by nature and status. He uses sons, children, for the same people.

Jesus is called child of the Holy Ghost because he is conceived, gaster in the Greek. Then he is called the Son of God because he is as the Father. In referring to his humanity when we say Son of God, he is Son of God by birth, by nature. That means sonship is deity in humanity. Sonship is deity in humanity.

Sons of God are men. Jesus is called the Son of Man. Jesus never called himself the son of Joseph, never. When Mary tried to imply it, instantly he struck it out. "I and your father have been looking for you." He said, "Wait, don't you know I must be about my Father's business?" He struck that one out. "Your father and brother and mother... Who is my father? Who is my mother and brother? Who are they? These ones that do the will of God." He was taking time to show them that that thing you're thinking, you better change your thinking. I am God almighty who became a man to help you.

He had people call him son of David by prophecy. The terminology Son of Man is used 107 times in the Old Testament. So Jesus did not start that terminology, Son of Man. "Son of man, can these bones live?" Ezekiel likes it. Ezekiel used it a lot. Ezekiel is the prophet of Son of Man. Son of man, what seest thou? Jeremiah also used it.

Ezekiel used it 94 times. Numbers 23:19, "God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent." Psalm 8:4, "What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?" quoted in Hebrews 2 referring to Jesus. Daniel used it as well.

Look at Daniel chapter seven verse 13. "I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him." Daniel 7:14, talking about Jesus, "And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed."

Daniel seeing a vision of Christ. Look at Daniel 7:18. Remember he said he saw one like a son of man in the vision. "But the saints of the most High shall take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever." Daniel 7:21 to 22, "I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them; Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom."

So he describes it, he says the kingdom is for the one that is like the Son of Man. He gives it to the saints and they have it forever. So Daniel's vision describes the person of Jesus. But we will find out a little difference later. So the term Son of Man is used by Daniel and it describes the humanity of the Christ because this is a prophecy of the Christ. He is called the Son of man.

Jesus used it for himself. Look at Revelation chapter one verse 13. "And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle." That is where Daniel's vision was brought to us.

Revelation 14:14, "And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle." Jesus is called in prophecy Son of Man. He is called after his incarnation and also after his resurrection, he is called Son of Man.

The gospels exclusively used the term Son of Man for himself, Jesus in the gospels. In the Greek is the word man-son. Let's see a couple of verses. Son of Man or Son of the Man describes the humanity of Jesus. The word Son of Man is used 30 times in Matthew. It is used 14 times in the book of Mark. It is used 25 times in the book of Luke and it is used 12 times in the book of John.

John used it differently. So Jesus in his humanity was called Son of Man. He is called Son of Man. He is called Son of God. Son of Man, Son of God. When he is called Son of Man and Son of God, is he describing two different natures? No, because he's describing the same thing. Remember earlier on we said the Son of God is a man.

Look at the book of Acts, Acts 7:56, Stephen. "And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God." Notice the term the Son of Man. All points to his humanity. So that terminology is to describe humanity. That is, oneness with humanity. That is, he is a complete man. No distinction.

You find out most of the time that the word Son of Man is used, it is used to describe the humanity of Jesus. It's used to describe his sufferings and his sacrificial work. Mark 10:35, James and John the sons of Zebedee came unto him saying, "Master, we would that thou shouldest do for us whatsoever we shall desire."

Mark 2:27 to 28, "And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath: Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath." That points to his humanity. He is saying, "I am just like you."

Right from conception, please listen carefully. Right from conception to his work, Jesus fully identified with man. From conception to his sacrificial work, he fully identified with man and he didn't stop there as we will see further. Now Brother Paul picked up this term in Paul's epistles. He calls Jesus Adam, because Adam and man are the same thing.

First Corinthians 15:45, "And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit." Romans 5:15, "But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many." He speaks of his post-redemption office, one man. So after resurrection he is still a man.

So when we say the Son of Man, it describes Jesus fully as a man or as a human. Some people think he was human for 33 and a half years. Then when he died, he threw away humanity and became God again. Some people think that Jesus was on a throne, then he left the throne. "Whom shall I send and who will go for us? Here am I, send me."

I remember the way we used to preach back in those days. And God was looking and God was looking and he didn't find anyone. Then God spoke through Isaiah the prophet, "Whom shall I send and who shall go for us?" And Jesus stepped forth and said, "Here am I, send me." And the Father sent Jesus, then Jesus left the throne, came and died. When he rose from the dead, he went back to that same throne. No.

That throne was empty before he came. Nobody sat on that throne before he came. It was an empty throne. "To him who sits on the throne and unto the lamb." So only a lamb sits on the throne. God is not a lamb, so God doesn't sit on the throne. The throne is for the lamb. Before he became a man, he was never a man, so there was no throne. Or even if there was, it was an empty throne.

Nobody ever sat on that throne. That throne was empty. God became a man, the man Jesus, and he is still a man. He can't occupy that throne if he is not a man. The throne is man's throne. And he can't also sit in heaven if he's not a man because heaven is man's heaven.

He is called the Son of Man. Son of Man describes his humanity. Son of God, humanity and divinity. Son of Man, humanity. Son of God, a combination of humanity and divinity. That's the meaning of Son of God, not pickin' of God.

Son of God is not pickin' for Nigerians and for the rest of the world. It's not like child, like a baby. So when other religions ask us, if Jesus is God, if you claim that Jesus is God, why then does the Bible call him Son of God? Son of God means when God almighty descends into humanity and takes on flesh. So the amalgamation of deity with humanity is what is called the Son of God.

As many as receive him, to them gave he power. Him coming into a man, that combination, they are called sons of God. So a son of God is a union of deity with humanity. Son of man is when God became a man 100 percent. Son of God is a union of deity with humanity. That's why you too are a son of God, because God lives on your inside. Glory to God.

In the name of Jesus means in the name of a man. Now are we the sons of God? Why are we the sons of God? Because deity lives on our inside. "Behold, what manner of love the Father has given unto us, that we should be called the sons of God." What is sons of God again? Deity living on the inside of humanity.

The day Jesus took up residence inside you, the day you were born of the Spirit of God, you became a partaker of the divine nature. So divine nature lives on your inside. This custodian of divine nature is called a new kind of humanity or is called a son of God or is called a new creation that does not have any past. This kind of human being never lived on earth before. It's a combo of divinity and humanity. Glory to God.

Oh my goodness, the Word of God is light. The Bible tells us the entrance of God's Word giveth light and it giveth understanding to the simple. As you keep listening, the light of God's Word rises out of the rightly divided Word of truth, illuminates your mind, illuminates your heart, and brings you face to face with your realities in Christ Jesus.

In Ephesians chapter three verse three, Brother Paul speaking about the mystery the Old Testament, he said, "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 mysterion in the Greek. It means that which is concealed. And then he says how that by revelation, the word revelation is the word apokalypsis. 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 is a place of books in equipping you soundly with the message of Christ. Brother Paul would 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 would 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. I want you to order for those books today. The number and the list of books available will be read to you right now, and if you call today, we'll be glad to make sure you get a copy or more copies of the books so you can enrich your spiritual life and enrich your walk with God and build a quality relationship with Jesus Christ, where you're also able to teach others the same truths you have learned to liberate them and bring them to the fullness of God. Glory to God.
