[Introduction Voiceover]
The church and its fellowship cannot be more spiritual than the individuals and families that constitute them. God weakly desires a godly home. These are words of restoration and instruction in righteousness from Family Tent Ministry. May you be blessed as you listen.
[Speaker 1]
Blessed be His holy name for bringing us together again and for another time in His presence. We are grateful to God for the privilege of fellowshipping Monday after Monday. And as we gather again today, those of our brethren that are joining us online and our brethren here locally, we trust the Lord again to make today a day of blessing in the name of Jesus Christ. Let's have a word of prayer.
Our Father, our God, we bless Your name, we thank You, we give You glory, we give You honor, we give You adoration. We come into Your presence again today looking up unto You for instruction in righteousness. Lord, we pray, Paul plant, Apollos water, it is You that gives increase. Lord, give increase to our meeting today in the name of Jesus. Lord, as we open scriptures, also cause our hearts to be open in the name of Jesus. Cause us to behold wondrous things out of Your law, instruct our heart in righteousness. Make us to become more and more like You by the power of Your spirit through the instrument of Your word in the name of Jesus. Thank You, Eternal Father. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
Amen. We have been considering Luke chapter 12 for the past two weeks now, and our focus has been on, "Fear not, little flock. Fear not, little flock." In our first discussion, which was about three weeks ago, it was "Fear not, little flock, it is your Father's pleasure to give you the kingdom." We saw the place of the fatherhood of God, the place of being secured in your sonship, and all of that. In the subsequent week, we were looking at "Fear not, little flock, it is your Father's will to give you the kingdom." And our focus last week was on the need for us to understand the manner of God's working, that the best of a man does not come at the beginning. The best of a man comes after. And that it was what became our hope today. What became our hope today is as a result of we looking at Jesus. It was at the peak of what you will describe as hopelessness that our hope was born.
As for the benefit of those of us who are here physically, I would like to ask from one or two persons that may have a point of blessing or point of emphasis or a point of testimony, a point of what God is doing or what God did, that may have something to say. Is there anybody that has something among us that are here physically? Okay, our brother. Any other person?
[Speaker 2]
Praise God. The teaching that had taken for the past some weeks had been a blessing for me, especially last week. Quoted the Romans 15:4, "That through patience and comfort of the scriptures, that we might have hope." That scripture was a revelation to me and a blessing. And the message is for me. That message is really for me because my hope was renewed and reactivated in the Lord that no matter what, how dark it may be, there will be light. And again, that at the peak of hopelessness, there is still hope. And based on that teaching, God have been working, He had been subdued what I think is problem. God have been subdued the problem. Praise the Lord.
[Speaker 1]
Hallelujah. Hallelujah. The hope and the comfort of the scripture, that through the hope and the comfort of the scripture we might have hope. Of course, I made a statement last week and I said as often as we turn our focus from the scripture, we will be hopeless. The hope, the comfort of the believers, God's design is that it should be in the scripture. The hope, the comfort of the believer, in God's design, it should be in the scripture. It says through the hope and the comfort of the scripture we might have hope. Thank you, my brother.
We try to move on today as we go to the same Luke chapter 12. Luke chapter 12. Luke chapter 12. We move on again. We read from that 32 again, because that is what we are considering. Luke 12:32–38. That is our actual focus. So, again we read:
"Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. Sell what you have and give alms; provide yourselves money bags which do not grow old, a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches nor moth destroys. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Let your waist be girded and your lamps burning; and you yourselves be like men who wait for their master, when he will return from the wedding, that when he comes and knocks they may open to him immediately. Blessed are those servants whom the master, when he comes, will find watching. Assuredly, I say to you that he will gird himself and have them sit down to eat, and will come and serve them. And if he should come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants."
We have been able to see the manner of God's working last week. And as I made mention last week, I want to call our attention to biblical examples of this matter of the manner of God's working. We want to look at biblical examples of men. You see, what God is doing with your life today, or the way matters seems in your life today, I want to announce to you that it is nothing new. When we are talking about this manner of God's working in bringing hope out of hopelessness, in telling us to hope even when everything looks hopeless, I want to make you see that it is not a new thing that God is trying to do with you. And that is why my emphasis was on Romans 15 last week. It said through the hope and the comfort of the scripture we might have hope.
Now, what that thing is trying to make you understand is this. If you are in a law court and you want to prove a case to be correct, a case to be true beyond all reasonable doubt, for the judge to judge in your favor or to judge against somebody, the judge will be looking for two things from you. What are the two things that the judge will be looking for? Number one, they will need evidence. Can you provide evidence for this case that you are talking about? So they will call it appendix one, appendix two. As many evidence as you have for the case, you will attach to your matter. Then what will they be looking for again apart from evidence? Yes, they will need a witness to come and say, "I was there when it happened." Now, where those two things are provided and there is consistency in those two things, the judge will say you have proved your case beyond every reasonable doubt.
Now, what I want to show you today is that God, understanding that there is a need to take your life beyond every reasonable doubt, God deliberately provided these two things in dealing with us. I believe you have read the Bible before in Hebrews chapter 12. Do you know what the Bible says there? Hebrews 12:1. "Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight." What is that thing that is weighing you down? What is that thing that is making your race to be slow? What's making you to doubt whether the matter God is dealing with you about is real? What's making you to be confused, to be wondering? "Is God reliable? Can I rest on God on this matter? Am I sure it will turn out well?" God says, "Look, I have witnesses." You are surrounded by witnesses.
And let me give you a good example for instance. Have you ever checked through the rainbow today? Have you seen the rainbow in recent time? When was the covenant of the rainbow established? After the flood in the days of Noah. What was the covenant? God said, "Look, I have put a sign in heaven, a bow in heaven. Anytime I get angry and I want to destroy this earth with water, anytime I see that bow, I will change my mind. I will not do so." He said, "Look, I am making this thing a covenant between me and you and me and your generation." I want to ask you, is Noah still alive with us here? Is God still faithful to Noah? Is Noah here praying, "Baba don't forget, don't forget what You promised me?" No. But did God forget that covenant?
You talk about evidence. Evidence. Providing evidence. Let's look for evidence that that which God is saying that He will do, He will do. Let's see. Have you ever checked through the scriptures Isaiah 53? The Bible says He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities, the chastisement for our peace was upon Him, by His stripes we were healed. We like sheep have gone astray. God has laid the iniquity of us all on Him. He was at His death, He was numbered with transgressors. Then at His burial, what was He numbered with? With the rich. Is that not true?
I want to ask you, when Jesus came, is there any aspect of that Isaiah that was prophesied—that prophecy of Isaiah—is there any one in that prophecy that was not fulfilled exactly as it was prophesied? At His death, was He with transgressors? He was. The two thieves, one to this side, one to the other side. At His grave, was He with the rich? A rich man, the grave that he had dug for himself. Was He not with the rich man? When He said that, "Look, the person who sit at the table with me will betray me." Who betrayed Him? Was it somebody from outside? The person at His table. When He said, "I will be betrayed for 30 pieces of silver," was He betrayed for 29? No.
When He said, "This shall be the sign of the end. Take heed that no man deceive you, for many will come in my name to deceive many." Is it happening exactly like He said? He said nations will rise against nation, kingdoms against kingdom, there shall be war, there shall be famine, there shall be earthquake in diverse places. Is anything happening below that? When He said, "In the latter time, perilous times shall come. Men will wax worse and worse." Is it less than that? So are there evidences that His words are true? Yes.
So we have witnesses and we have evidence. The reason I am making reference to all of this is that I want us to look into the scriptures. These men that we are surrounded by, God deal with them differently from the way He wants to deal with us. I want to point your attention—I will be showing you both positive and negative biblical examples. I will begin with a positive one. Let's go to Judges. Judges chapter 4. A very familiar story. Everybody talked about this story very well. Why the focus? People talk more about Deborah. I will not focus on Deborah. I want to focus on Barak.
Now, the Bible says in Judges chapter 4 from verse 1: "When Ehud was dead, the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of the Lord. So the Lord sold them into the hand of King Jabin of Canaan, who reigned in Hazor. The commander of his army was Sisera, who dwelt in Harosheth-Hagoyim. And the children of Israel cried out to the Lord, for Jabin had 900 chariots of iron, and for 20 years he had harshly oppressed the children of Israel."
It doesn't matter how long the oppression have been, the Lord will pronounce freedom in the name of Jesus. Some things might have persisted for a long time. They have persisted for a long time. But by the spirit of the Lord, we pronounce that today marked the end of that oppression in the name of Jesus. The Bible says that he has oppressed them for 20 years, and it's actually does that for 20 years, that was going.
Now, Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, was judging Israel at that time. And she would sit under the palm tree of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in the mountains of Ephraim, and the children of Israel came up to her for judgment. Look at what she said: "Then she sent and called for Barak, the son of Abinoam, from Kedesh in Naphtali and said to him, 'Has not the Lord God of Israel commanded, "Go and deploy troops at Mount Tabor. Take with you 10,000 men of the sons of Naphtali and of the sons of Zebulun, and against you I will deploy Sisera, the commander of Jabin’s army, with his chariots and his multitude at the River Kishon, and I will deliver him into your hand"?'"
What do you see there? What do you see in verse 8? Can we try several translations? Verse 8. What can you read there? "And Barak said to her, 'If you will go with me, then I will go; but if you will not go with me, I will not go.'" Another translation? "Barak said, 'If you go with me, I will go. But if you don’t go with me, I won’t go.'" KJV? "And Barak said unto her, 'If thou wilt go with me, then I will go; but if thou wilt not go with me, then I will not go.'"
Please, what was the basis of Barak's response? Number one, fear. What was the basis of Barak's response? He's not sure if God is still with them. There's something I want you to see in that story too. He was afraid because by the resources of this enemy, he had succeeded in oppressing them for how many years? For 20 years. Do you know how Israel will have been impoverished? How Israel will have been wretched? How weak and pitiable and vulnerable they were? Suddenly you are speaking to somebody among the slaves. "Go and gather people." "Where? Where will they even gather in the first place? Will they not first kill me myself? How can it be, Deborah? I think it’s a hopeless situation." It's a hopeless situation. It's not a thing that we can possibly do. "Me, I won't go. If you are sure it was God who said so, okay come, let's go and do the gathering together. But if you will not go, me, I will not go and lose my neck." Because the matter you are raising is telling me to lift up a banner in a complete hopeless situation.
Do you know that if you have been experiencing something for years, you’ve been experiencing it for years, for many, many, many years, and somebody say "Let us pray," you think "I've been praying. Let's just pray about it. We have prayed, we have been praying. This time around, God will change it." "Okay, let's hope so, because I've been praying." Have you experienced such a thing before? That is the situation here. What? Do you know who Jabin was? He was trying to make Deborah understand. Jabin is the king, you don't know Jabin, Deborah? That is the man that oppressed us 20 years. And the commander you are asking me that you are drawing to come and fight me is the captain of that army that have chariots of iron. Deborah, God don't work like this. Don't let us go and kill ourselves.
But because of that response of Barak, what did God say? Verse 9. "So she said, 'I will surely go with you; nevertheless, there will be no glory for you in this journey.'" What brought a man into a journey that will bring no glory to his life was because he became too familiar with hopelessness that he could not be hopeful. He could not be hopeful. He could not see a way out. And so when God was bringing an announcement, time to go, he said, "No." When he was told that, "See, go and gather men. Go and do this," he said, "Ah, Deborah, is it from the mouth of any other person or from your own? I don’t want to lose my own life." Because for him, there is no sense in what Deborah was saying. There wasn't any sense in it.
He said, "I'm trying to show you the manner of God's working, that it is not a new thing with you." And that's why I climaxed last week to show you that your faith—this thing you call faith, this saving faith that we have—is actually what was actually born at the peak of hopelessness. I pray for you again, and I'm seeing the Lord particularly where certain things have persisted for long, because the Bible says "hope deferred makes the heart weary." Where certain things have persisted for long, at the appearance of your deliverance, you will not lost your glory. You will not lose your glory in the name of Jesus.
Brethren, let us understand the way God works. God deliberately made us to see that they had been oppressed for 20 years. It's not 20 days. Let somebody oppress [unclear: Akure] for just two years, you will see what [unclear: Akure] will look like. Let somebody rule you, oppress you, taking—dealing with you anyhow. Let the person do it for just one year. You will see what will remain of your life. Not go to someone who have done it for 20 years, and he had done that unchallenged. Suddenly you are now calling—you’re not even calling the whole army of Israel. If you had said go and muster the whole Israel, it would even better. But go and take one tribe of Naphtali, not even the major tribe. You didn’t call the tribe of Judah, you didn’t call the ones—you didn’t call mighty, mighty tribe. You are going to pick Naphtali. What—Naphtali, can anything good come out of this? Deborah, what are you trying to say?
But brethren, look at Psalm 91. Look at Psalm 91. I want to show you something in Psalm 91. Look at Psalm 91. I want you to look at the verse 15, particularly the latter part of that verse 15. Psalm 91:15. It says, "He shall call upon me and I will"—do what?—"I will answer him." "I will be with him in"—what?—"in trouble." What did God now say about him? "I will deliver him and I will"—what? May God not deliver you without honoring you. When God want to deliver a man, God also make arrangement to do what? To honor the man. Barak got deliverance, but he lost honor. And what led to that? He could not see how God works. That even at the peak of hopelessness, hope can be born. Hope.
When he was told that, "See, go and gather men," he couldn't see it. May you not be a Barak. May you be a Deborah in terms of listen to what God—in the midst of that hopelessness, a woman spoke and said "God said." But a man said it is not possible. And God announced immediately that the way you are going about this thing will not be to your honor. Because the honor of any battle is to kill the captain of the army. You know the reason why David was dread—no, was somebody that was honored, was somebody that was respected? Was because he did not only kill Goliath, he brought the head, carried the head, took a sword. And David became somebody that was preferred. He was the one who killed the champion.
I show you, I will show you another person. Let us see Daniel. And with Daniel, I believe you are very familiar with the story. Daniel chapter 6 from verse 10 to the end of that chapter 6. We know the story that how Daniel was conspired against and everything look closed and settled. Now, but I want to call your attention to verse 17: "Then a stone was brought and laid on the mouth of the den, and the king sealed it with his own signet ring, and with the signet of his lords, that the purpose concerning Daniel might not be changed." What was the purpose? To be killed by the lion. It was concluded, it was sealed, it was signed.
Do you get what I'm trying to say? I'm talking of a situation in your life that you have received letters, you have received report, you have received things and something had been determined, and the case had been signed, and the case had been closed. Every time I remember the testimony of this my friend when we were trying to gain admission. Every time I remember that story, I fear God. He's somebody who is alive today, but it's a story we both share. We were both trying to gain admission and he went—I had been given—I had come in because we—it was later we met both on campus.
But how did he come here? He went to check the list on the board of those admitted. And when he checked the whole list, his name was not there. And of course because his mark was not up to what was needed. But this brother already left home, left the house, and was believing God that he will be admitted that year. He said when he got to the board and he saw the situation, signed and sealed like this case—signed, sealed, concluded. He looked at the board and he said, "God, God, I know that there is nothing You cannot do. I want You to send Your angels to go and include my name in the list of those to be admitted." He prayed that prayer before the board, before the notice board where the case was closed.
Can I announce to you that the following day he came back to that same board, his name was on the admission list. We both finished from [unclear: Uniben]. But that was the story of his admission. He still cannot explain to you today how his name came to be included. And the admission was genuine. It was—he didn't—it was not fake. Everywhere he got to, his name was there. So it's not as if somebody just went and just wrote on the notice board.
May God hear you in the day of your trouble. May He send you strength out of Zion in the name of Jesus. He said the king sealed it with his own signet ring and with the signet of his lords, that the purpose concerning Daniel might not be changed. However, now the king went to his palace and spent that night fasting, with no—and no music was brought before him. Also his sleep went from him. Then the king arose very early in the morning and went in haste to the den of lions. And when he came to the den, he cried out with a lamenting voice. Why was he lamenting? For him, nothing can change the case.
And I want to ask you, ordinarily as Daniel was going towards those lions and they were approaching, and he was thinking that maybe God will intervene, maybe God will make the king support him, maybe God will make the king to say something so that he will not be thrown into the place. Maybe, and you also sometimes when you are going through some situations in your life, "Maybe something just happen like this, maybe this one happen." And nothing happened. Nothing, until everything was concluded. And after everything had been concluded—a concluded case—but even when it was concluded—you see this thing, they are not Hollywood film that somebody wrote. Do you understand me? They are not scripts that somebody wrote. These were the true life of people. Do you understand me?
[unclear: In Yoruba: People who watch movies know the actor doesn't die. They watch it for the thrill.] But this one is not that kind of thing. Daniel was not acting a film to hold your attention span. When he was going to the den, his heartbeat was increasing because he wasn't sure what will follow. The person that could have done a good case for him would have been the king. But this man trusted in his God. How do we know that he trusted in his God? Was that after that decree was made, you will think he will change his manner of prayer. He still—the Bible says he opened his window as his manner was. Am I correct? He still opened it as he usually did.
So he was—he trusted in the Lord in the face of hopelessness. And at the peak of the hopelessness, was hope not born? Even in your den, I'm telling you that there is hope. Inside the den, where it looks sealed, closed, ring, signet, authority, seal it, nothing can change—even when after all that had been done, your case can still be changed. Get this understanding. Get it an understanding that even the faith that I practice was born out of complete hopelessness. God will treat my file.
Barak could not see that. He couldn't see it. So he was delivered, but he was not honored. When God delivers a man, God also want to do what? God want to honor him. May you not be a Barak. May you be a Deborah in terms of listen to what God—in the midst of that hopelessness, a woman spoke and said, "God said." But a man said it is not possible. And God announced immediately that the way you are going about this thing will not be to your honor. Because the honor of any battle is to kill the captain of the army. You know the reason why David was dread—no, was somebody that was honored, was somebody that was respected? Was because he did not only kill Goliath, he brought the head, carried the head, took a sword. And David became somebody that was preferred. He was the one who killed the champion.
I show you, I will show you another person. Let us see. I want to close the case today with that of Saul. I believe we are familiar with the case of Saul. King Saul. King Saul is somebody we have made mention to many times in this meeting. But I just want to show you examples of these men to see how God works. When he was going to the battle, just like with the case of Daniel, you will think God will deliver him from—God did not deliver from, rather God delivered him in. This same God told Saul, "You are going to this battle. Wait for seven days. Samuel will be coming. Sacrifice will be done, then you can start the war." And of course a man of war, and he was waiting for Samuel. And he waited. Day one, day two, day three, day four, day five, day six, day seven.
In a situation where your enemies you are standing face to face to fight and your enemies are advancing—you are this side, the enemies are coming. [Speaker imitates sounds of an army marching]. And they're waiting for you to blow the trumpet. Go! Everybody were waiting. [unclear: In Yoruba: Why hasn't the king called for battle?] Because they were coming. He said, "Don't worry, we are waiting for Samuel." [More marching sounds]. Look, open your eyes. And when they saw that it's like this king is out of his senses, soldiers began to run away. [unclear: In Yoruba: Some of them said, "The king has gone mad."] Because you’d be wondering why he’s not blowing the trumpet for them to fight. All of them started running away. The Hebrews began to run. Everybody was running.
That was the situation. That was the situation. If you look at it, if you look at what the Bible says, it said, "When the men of Israel saw that they were in danger, for the people were distressed, then the people hide in—hid in caves, and in thickets, and in rocks, and in holes. And some of the Hebrews quickly crossed over the Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead. As for Saul, he was still in Gilgal, and all the people following him were trembling." Others began to [unclear: In Yoruba: Oh, this king is crazy.] Trembling, everybody was running away, and he was still not blowing the trumpet for them to fight. The ones that were still faithful that were following him, what did the Bible say? They were what? They were trembling.
Then Saul said, "This is a hopeless situation. Let me bring hope quickly." And he brought hope. But what was like hope was not actually hope. Because if you notice something that Samuel said, he said—and Samuel said to Saul, "You have done foolishly. You have not kept the commandment of the Lord your God, which He commanded you. For now the Lord would have established your kingdom over Israel forever. But now your kingdom shall not continue." I want you to make—see that it is a deliberate act of God. It is a deliberate thing with God. It is a deliberate thing and you must understand that. It is a deliberate thing with God.
[In Yoruba: Something to the effect of "Don't judge a person by the end of their story."] You can’t look at a man and conclude his story. Because sometimes life is like a bicycle wheel. Those who are up go down, and those who are down go up. Yes. At one point, Haman was in the palace, Mordecai was at the gate. At another point, Mordecai was in the king's palace deciding what will happen, Haman was on a tree. At one point, Potiphar was a master of Joseph. At another point, Potiphar became a principal servant of Joseph. Because Potiphar was a principal officer of Pharaoh. So when nothing can be done in Egypt again except by the name of Joseph, Potiphar became a principal servant of Joseph.
Many times, life is like a bicycle wheel. That’s why the Bible warns us: "Command, warn those that are rich among you not to trust in such uncertain things as riches." Warn them never to trust in such uncertain things as riches, but in the living God who gives us all things to enjoy. Warn them! Life is like a bicycle wheel.
What am I trying to make you see? There is a pattern with God. It’s a deliberate act of God. It says, "Don't you see that God deliberately is doing certain things, that deliberately He’s taking things that are"—look at—"do you know that as far as the disciples were concerned, Saul is going to hell fire?" Am I correct? That even after his conversion, God was speaking to Ananias. "Go"—"Ah, Baba! You have made a mistake. Let me remind You." He want to introduce Saul to God. "He's somebody who persecute the church. In fact, the letter they brought him—"
Do you see how our silly wisdom is complete foolishness before God? It looks hopeless with Saul. Yet, least among the apostles, yet will later came to labor than them all. What am I trying to say? When a man is in different pressing situation and it look like things have persisted and persisted and persisted and persisted and persisted, can I announce to you that it doesn’t mean that God have closed your file? It doesn’t mean that God close your file! It doesn’t in any way mean that God have closed your file. Get this understanding. Get it an understanding that even the faith that I practice was born out of complete hopelessness. God will treat my file.
Barak could not see that. He couldn't see it. So he was delivered, but he was not honored. When God delivers a man, God also want to do what? God want to honor him. May you not be a Barak. May you be a Deborah in terms of listen to what God—in the midst of that hopelessness, a woman spoke and said, "God said." But a man said it is not possible. And God announced immediately that the way you are going about this thing will not be to your honor. Because the honor of any battle is to kill the captain of the army. You know the reason why David was dread—no, was somebody that was honored, was somebody that was respected? Was because he did not only kill Goliath, he brought the head, carried the head, took a sword. And David became somebody that was preferred. He was the one who killed the champion. I show you, I will show you another person. Let us see.
[background noise as the meeting continues]
[Prayer follows]
Father I want to say thank You for Your word. Thank You for the great and privilege to hear, to be the hearer of Your word. Lord we pray, we have heard. Lord, give us grace to be the doer. Help us, Lord. Help us, Lord. Our hope on You. We look up unto You. The Bible speaking in the book of Psalms said they looked up unto Him and they were enlightened and their faces were no longer ashamed. Lord we have heard Your word and we are looking up unto You. Lord we pray by Your word You will enlighten us. And You will help us henceforth that our faces will no longer be ashaming You in the name of Jesus Christ.
As we go, we go in Your name. We return next week with testimony in the name of Jesus Christ. For Your servant You will cause Your hand to continually to be upon him in the name of Jesus. You will strengthen him in the name of Jesus. For Your church You will move Your church forward in the name of Jesus Christ. Thank You precious Daddy. Lord we give You all the glory. In Jesus mighty name we pray. Amen.
May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with us now and forever. Amen.
