His Cross(luke 9;23) Part 6

[Background Music: Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord; He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored; He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword; His truth is marching on.] [Announcer] Churches and fellowships cannot be more spiritual than the individuals and families that constitute them. God greatly desires a godly home front. These are words of restoration and instruction in righteousness from Family Tent Ministry. May you be blessed as you listen. [Congregation singing] He is Lord, He is Lord. Amen. He has risen from the dead, He is Lord. Every knee shall bow, every tongue confess, That Jesus Christ is Lord. [Speaker 1] Our Father, we are grateful. Almighty God, we bless Your name. We thank You again for this time in Your presence. We thank You, our Father. We thank You for the light of Your Spirit. We thank You for the spirit of revelation. We thank You for the spirit of prophecy. We thank You for the Spirit of Christ. We thank You for the spirit of the scriptures. We thank You, Lord, for Your Spirit. We bless Your holy name, our God. As we gather unto You, our brethren on Telegram, our brethren on Mislar, we that are here physically, we commit ourselves into Your hands. Lord, our eyes are on You. Lord, we pray, meet with us where we need You most in the name of Jesus Christ. Father, You said when we acknowledge You in our ways, that You will direct our path. Lord, we acknowledge You as we fellowship together this evening. O Lord, let Your Spirit moderate this meeting. Work in us, work through us, the good pleasure of Your will in the name of Jesus Christ. Thank You, eternal Father. Blessed be Your holy name, our God. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen. We thank our God as we come together again today. We were able to bring the matter of "let him deny himself" to a close last Monday under the theme "The Cross". The Cross. That was in 1 Peter 2. We brought the matter to a close last week when we were able to pray along this understanding: "For you were like sheep going astray, but now have returned to the Shepherd and the Overseer or the Bishop of your soul." We were able to see very clearly last week that when the Master said we should be prepared to suffer with Him and to suffer for Him, the matter is not to mar our life. The matter is more like a goldsmith that will put the gold into the fire. But in putting the gold into the fire, the goldsmith is also making sure that the temperature of the fire does not become too much for the gold, and at the same time, not too little for the gold. But he managed the temperature in such a way that at the end of the day, the gold gets purer while the heat removed the dross from the gold. So when the Master is saying, "Let him deny himself, let him forget himself, let him lose sight of himself," we should understand that the same Master is the Bishop and the Shepherd of our soul. He's watching over the soul, He's guiding over the soul, He has the highest interest on the soul. And then, that was our focus last week actually, and that was our focus of prayer. Then I also made one or two reference to the chapter three last week, but I said we are not going to treat that very particularly because it is a matter for our marriage forum. When it says, "Wives, likewise, be submissive to your own husband, that even if they do not obey the word, they may without the word be won by the behavior of their wives" (1 Peter 3:1). So we noticed again that it is not by a fight, an argument, a readiness to talk down, to talk back a man that a woman is able to win her husband. It is by a gain, correct behavior. And the same thing, the Bible says it noted that even when they don't obey the word. So we notice that the reason why so many people are having serious challenges in their marriages today is because they don't understand this matter of "let him deny himself". "Likewise" came in verse 1 of chapter 3, and when you get to verse 7 again, you will find the same thing for the husband: "Husbands, likewise..." (1 Peter 3:7). That "likewise" of—it applies to the wife, applies to the husband. So many reasons today why most people don't—why there are so many problems is that wives are not realizing that this is the will of God, that they should suffer for doing good. Husbands are not realizing this is the will of God, that they should suffer for doing good. Both parties are not realizing, both parties are not denying themselves. Both parties are upbraiding themselves, so they find themselves competing in their marriages. But we said that dimension of "let him deny himself" is a matter for our marriage forum. And I know that severally we have discussed this matter under our marriage forum that comes up every second Saturday of the month. But in bringing "let him deny himself" to a close today, there is this scripture I could not get to last week that I want us to get to this week. 1 Corinthians 10. It's a popular scripture. Just wanting us to see what the Bible says in that scripture so that we can learn something. 1 Corinthians 10. Now when you look at that scripture, verse 13. I want to take it, but I would like to read it actually from verse 1 so that you can get the mind of the scripture. We are reading this today to close up "let him deny himself". I want to go to "let him take up the cross," because that was the statement of Jesus, "let him deny himself." We have done "let him deny himself" for the past six weeks now, and we completed it last week. But there was something we could not mention last week that I want to quickly get to today as we move to "let him take up his cross". We are still considering that scripture, Luke 9:23. So he said, "Moreover, brethren, I do not want you to be unaware that all our fathers were under the cloud, all passed through the sea, all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea, all ate the same spiritual food, and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ. But with most of them God was not well pleased, for their bodies were scattered in the wilderness" (1 Corinthians 10:1-5). That will not be our portion in the name of Jesus Christ. Then the Bible noted why that happened to them. He said, "Now these things happen because—these things became our examples so that we don't experience the same thing they experienced." He said, "These things they became our examples, to the intent that we should not lust after evil things as they also lusted. And do not become idolaters as were some of them. As it is written, 'The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.' Let us not commit sexual immorality, as some of them did, and in one day twenty-three thousand fell; nor let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed by serpents; nor complain, as some of them also complained, and were destroyed by the destroyer. Now all of these things happened to them as examples, and they were written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages have come. Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall" (1 Corinthians 10:6-12). Why? No temptation, no trial, brethren, no temptation, no trial—I'm emphasizing, no temptation, no trial has overtaken you except such as is common to man. I want you to note why he's saying this. We should be careful not to become fornicators, not to become idolaters, not to become complainers, not to become murmurers, not to become people who tempt God, all of those things. We should be careful because there is nothing you want to experience in life that is not common. There's nothing like "my case is peculiar". There's nothing like that. He says, "No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to who? To man." And what is the warning? "But God is faithful" (1 Corinthians 10:13). We have returned to the Bishop and the Shepherd of our soul. We should always remember that. There's a Bishop of our soul. There's a Shepherd of our soul. He has more stake over our life than we have. His investment over our life, like I said last week, is much more than our investment over our life. He redeemed us at the cost of his blood. He died for our redemption. He's the Bishop. He laid down His life to redeem us. What price did we pay to redeem our own soul? We did not pay any price. We were just sinners living our life anyhow. We were not even thinking of eternal life. Somebody paid all that price. We should be aware that there is a Bishop and there is a Shepherd of our soul. He said, "But God is faithful. But God is faithful, who will not allow you to be—" please, I like this again, "to be tempted beyond what you are able, to be tempted beyond what you are able. But with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it." Can we have this in another translation? This 1 Corinthians 10:13. Please, help me give this mic to—let's try NLT, let's try NIV, let's try Amplified. 1 Corinthians 10:13. Just 13. Let us know the translation you are reading. [Speaker 2] Amplified translation. "For no temptation (no trial regarded as enticing to sin), no matter how it comes or where it leads, has overtaken you and laid hold on you that is not common to man [that is, no temptation or trial has come to you that is beyond human resistance and that is not adjusted and adapted and belonging to human experience, and such as man can bear]. But God is faithful [to His Word and to His compassionate nature], and He can be trusted not to let you be tempted and tried and assayed beyond your ability and strength of resistance and power to endure; but with the temptation He will always also provide the way out (the means of escape to a landing place), that you may be capable and strong and powerful to bear up under it patiently." [Speaker 1] Do you get it? Brethren, are you following something in that place? So what do you notice about trials and temptations? What do you notice? Number one, they are customized. They are customized. So your own may not be like my own. You remember my wife were discussing something yesterday. Terah, the father of Abraham, had three children: Abraham, Nahor, and Haran. Haran died, Haran gave birth to Lot, and then he died. It remained Nahor and Abraham. Then God called Abraham out. Abraham continued, he took Lot as an uncle will take care of one small boy. So he went with him. The Bible says while Abraham and Sarah they were still waiting, the Bible now gave a record of who? Of Nahor, how he married and he gave birth to children. The man that God called, you'll be thinking that one will give birth to children on time. The one that God called is the one that was now waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting until it looked almost impossible. We're just looking at the life of God and His servant. You would think that such a man should not be the one, he should be the one to give birth on time, when he married and everything would just be fine. But it did not go that way. But I want to ask you, if you are to make a choice, will you choose Nahor or Abraham? Abraham! Because you know the end of the story. Because you know the end of the story. That man with everything he became, there was no eternal life. But look at this other side. So you see, the point I'm trying to make is that—you know God was speaking to the Israelites. He said, "Oh, how they may consider their end and become wise." It means a man cannot be truly wise until he can see the end. Which also tells you that God is the one that can wisely guide you because He can see the end from the beginning. Do we agree to that? I'm telling you the nature of the Bishop and the Shepherd of your soul. So when the Master said, "If any man will come after me," let him do what? "Let him deny, forget yourself." The hymn writer said, "Consecrate me now to Thy service, Lord, by the power of grace divine. Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope and my will be lost in Thine." Can we lose our will inside the soul? Can we lose ourselves, can we just be lost inside God? For any man that is lost inside God is lost inside life. Is lost inside light. Because—you know what I'm trying to say? That was the case of Abraham. Because we know the end. Brethren, it is ultimately, it is the end that matters. That's the reality. Ultimately, it is the end that matters. Let us be wise, brethren. And we have an all-knowing God who knows the end. So we notice that one, it is customized. Number two, it is not only customized, what is the second thing you notice about the Bishop and the Shepherd of our soul? There is a way. And that is why He said, "Just follow me." Let us trust that when we follow Him—we hear so many things we should not fear. They will take me as "mumu", they will—and that is why many times we misbehave. This morning I was reflecting on Acts of the Apostles and then when Saul cast out the snake spirit from that girl and they were beaten and thrown into prison. You know something I've not always—I've been reading it anyway, but you know when something just occur to you afresh. You know after the earthquake and they were taken out of the prison. What do you notice that the jailer did? The Bible says that the jailer now washed their wounds. Which means when they were beaten, they were wounded. It was not just that they were—no, they were wounded. So I now began to reflect on that. Beaten, wounded, thrown into prison. And the next thing should be, "I adore you, Holy Spirit, You are welcome." Does it correlate? You get the point I'm making. You know I now realized, "Okay, so they were wounded." They were wounded. And then, you know what now makes the thing, why it was a matter in my heart was that they told the jailer, "Make sure you watch over these men very well." For that reason, the jailer did not just put them in prison. What did he do? He took locks. You know what it means by locks inside prison? That is, they will handcuff your hand and your leg down. You will not be able to move it. So they could not even be touching the wound. And what those men find—what could follow was not murmuring. Was not complaining. What could follow was praises. What could follow was hymns and songs. That is what could follow. I'm talking about forgetting yourself. Do you notice that it was as they forgot themselves that they were able to get the way out? They were not calling for "Lord, deliver us, deliver us!" That was not the direction. But as they abandoned themselves, that there is no trial that can be more than what we can bear, if God allowed this He knows what He's doing, we just thank You, Father. And then God knows what He was doing. You see, I'm saying that these things they are written as examples for us. These records are not just there for us to just see the stories. They are written for us to think again about our—about this matter of the cross of Jesus, how some men followed Jesus, and how we are following today. That's what we are looking at actually. Following Jesus. Is not that these men were not—they don't have flesh and blood. They don't have families, they don't have brothers and sisters, they don't have self-esteem and self-worth. Is it that these men—or they were using artificial intelligence? No, they were men of like passion. But what I think is the bottom line is that they understood some of these things. These things that they were writing. Because Paul was penning down these by the power of the Holy Spirit. They were not penning down things they have not experienced. Do you agree with me, brethren? They were penning down things that they have—things that they know, things that they were sure of. And that was why I made this statement sometimes back, I said the holiness of God guarantees something. What does the holiness of God guarantee? It guarantees that God cannot sin. Is that not true? The faithfulness of God also guarantees that God cannot lie. Is that not true? Now I want to ask us, brethren, if a believer, a child of God, is tempted beyond what he could bear or what she could bear, and also there is no way of escape out of that thing, what is at stake? The faithfulness of God! Are you seeing the point I'm making? It means if I am tempted beyond—if my temptations, my trials are not customized, and in going through that trial there is no way of escape, it also means that God is no more faithful. Which is easier to believe? That is the point I'm trying to make. Brethren, sometimes when we're in the midst of these things, that's what I'm trying to look at these people. Because—you know this morning I was just reflecting over and over again. I said, "What? Ah, okay." The thing will be paining you, because it was just fresh, that they threw them inside the place. So the pain—and you know, I don't know whether you have experienced any wound before. When do you feel the pain most? The second day. Then what do you notice about the night? You know when it gets to the night, that thing that you have experienced, as you try to settle down. You know in the midst of the shouting, shouting, even if you have injured yourself sometimes you don't feel it until you settle down. This thing. And that was when these men, they could not touch the pain, they could not wash the blood, they could not do anything with it. And what could come out was "Father, I declare that I love You." Actually, it is the spirit of this understanding that gave birth that I think—I don't know, I don't know the origin. But that song, "All I know, You are always there for me, Almighty God, You are my all in all, no matter what I face, when trouble comes my way," that was—it was the spirit of this understanding that is behind that song. "I will praise Your name," that is, even when the worst happens, the faithfulness of God guarantees that inside that fire, it is because there is a dross that God wants to remove. There's a dross. If there is no dross, no man subject gold to fire. Do you? You don't. And that is why James could say, "My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into—" not one oh, "divers." He says the trial of your faith worketh patience. The same thing that we are discussing here. But these are things we are not told again. These are things we are—it looks like anybody who is not enjoying is not a Christian. That's what I seems we preach today. That what I seems we are preaching. Once that—you don't marry at 25, you don't have your PhD at 27, you don't become professor at 35, you have not built your house before 40, "Oh, we don't know the blessings of God. You don't know the righteousness of God. You don't understand the abundance of God." That seems to be what I think is leading to several depression among believers. Why God can pattern one life after that, God may not pattern another servant like that. These are the records we have in scriptures. It was "phee-phee-phee-phee" for Leah. It was not so for Elizabeth. And they were both children of God. In her lifetime, all what God want for her is just a son, and that son will be John. That's all God intended for her. And she's not less Christian. She's not. Was she less Christian? No. She's not. So I'm saying—I'm just trying to have—I couldn't get to this verse last week, but to expand this verse alongside understanding this matter of God being the Bishop and the Shepherd of your soul. We are too defended to be a victim. If you understand these things you will know it. That is what is behind the song of those people. They know it is given to them to suffer not only to believe in Him but also to suffer. It's a privilege, they have that honor. So when they were suffering they were not thinking that they have been abandoned. They were not thinking in that direction. They were not. So I'm making—the point I'm making this evening that it is very, very important for us to see two important things about why we need to—as we abandon ourselves to the Lord, as we go through different trials, as we suffer certain things in life, why we can—we can take it patiently because we know to this we are called. Christ left an example for us to walk, to follow in His step. And if we understand that this person we are following in His step is also the Bishop and the Shepherd of our soul, and we know that there is no temptation that comes that God is not part and parcel of it, then we should know that there is nothing to fear. There's nothing to fear. Always know there is a way out, but that way out you may not get it if you don't follow Him. That is the point I'm making. That is the example I'm making out of Paul and Silas. If those men, brethren, let's take an example. If those men were busy complaining, if those men were busy regretting that they came to Philippi, would they have known that there is a way of coming out of prison by earthquake? That is what I keep saying, that many times why some people—Omola said that what of if God is not the one doing something and this and this and this, I said it's also need to check, are we following the principles of God? What God guaranteed is that if we follow Him in faith, there is a way out. And I can assure you, go and check everybody from Genesis to Revelation, if there's anybody that God abandoned. The Lord will help our heart. The Lord will help our faith. The Lord will help us to understand this cross of Jesus. Particularly this dimension of "let him deny himself," let him deny himself. And we go back now to where we have been taking our discussion from: Luke 9:23. Been able to properly conclude the matter of He's the Bishop and the Shepherd of our soul. And I want to say, brethren, if there are questions, brethren online, let us have your questions. Brethren who are here physically, if there are questions, let us know. Let us have the question. We would attend to them. We want to go back to that Luke 9:23. Luke 9:23: "Then He said to them all, 'If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself—'" so under Luke 9:23, we have treated "let him deny himself" for six and a half weeks, let me put it that way. This is the sixth edition, and we're able to conclude it as part of this edition today. We want to take a step further in that verse. What's the next thing? "—and take up his cross daily." All of these things we are considering under the topic "The Cross". That's what we have started about—we started the matter in June. The Cross. And then we are taking them one by one. And each edition can stand on its own, actually. Each of them can stand on its own, but in bringing all together, it has been running since the month of June. The Cross. So in this matter of His Cross, that I want to discuss—the reason why I'm taking this matter of "let him deny himself" very, very well, is because people have—in some way people talk, they seem to confuse "let him deny himself" with "let him take up his cross." They say, "Ah, that is your cross, you have to carry it." When people are going through some difficult situation, "Ah, egbe e ni, bawa bo bi kowa," they are taking it to mean that that suffering, that trial you are going through, is a matter of His Cross. It's more around the matter of what: "let him abandon himself into Jesus." Let him forget his interest. Let him forget—let him—let him die to himself. If you die to yourself and all of that, you will understand that you have two things about Jesus: both to believe in Him and to suffer for Him. So in following Jesus, there is a place of forgetting our will, forgetting our interest, forgetting ourselves. So the matter of His Cross that I want to discuss is not in the dimension of "let him deny himself." I want us to look at "let him take up His Cross." As we look at "let him take up His Cross," is because there is something we said when we were beginning this matter in June. I want us to see—it's a popular scripture. 1 Corinthians 1. That was the second edition of "The Cross" when we started in June. Please let's look at it. 1 Corinthians 1, from verse 18. I just want to remind us of something as I try to build on "let him take up his cross daily." Note the word "His Cross," and then "daily". That word "His Cross" and then "daily" has a possession, something that is your own. "For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God" (1 Corinthians 1:18). The message of the cross is about the power of God. "For it is written: 'I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.' Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through wisdom did not know God, it pleased God through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe" (1 Corinthians 1:19-21). Do you notice that the cross is tied more around deliverance, around saving? Are you following me? It's tied around power, it's tied around wisdom, it's tied around salvation, tied around being saved, being delivered, being taken out of something. Being taken out of death to life. That Christ died. What does that symbolize for us? He died so that we will not die. Is that not? He fell so that we will not fall. Now, what I'm trying to call your attention to is that when the apostles were making reference to the cross, they were making reference to the matter of being taken out of something. That Christ died—you know what happens? That in His Cross, I have a cross. In His Cross, in His Cross, I have a cross. It is not the symbol of suffering, no. It is the escape, I take it. Anytime I look to that cross, you know what happens to me? I live. Anytime I look to that cross, I will have victory over sin. Anytime I look to that cross, that cross is the place of getting life. It's the place of getting life. It's the place of provision for my escape. It's the place of refreshment. It's the place of—oh, look at this familiar song. We sing it but we don't correlate them. "Burdens are lifted at Calvary." Calvary is not the burden. The burdens are lifted at Calvary. Calvary, Calvary, burdens are lifted at Calvary where Jesus paid the price. Some say Jesus is—they are different translation of it. But the point I'm trying to make you see: without His Cross, our suffering will amount to nothing. Without His Cross. It is in His Cross that a cross—when I say a cross, a salvation, a deliverance, a way out, a refreshment, a help, life. Am I troubled by the serpent? Am I bitten by the snakes of this life? Am I bitten by the snakes of affliction? Am I bitten by the snakes of tribulation? Am I bitten by the snake of imprisonment? What is biting around? What do I need to do? Just look up. Just take His Cross. Just look up. This matter of looking—I'm still speaking figuratively now. Because we're going to look at "let him look up, let him take," how do we take it? This taking. Even though we discussed some of the substance, you know we said something at the beginning: "Now faith is the evidence of things hoped for, the substance of things not seen. By it the elders obtained a good report. By faith we understand that the universe was framed by the word of God, so that the things that are seen are not created by the things which appear" (Hebrews 11:1-3). Hope you know what it's trying to say. That what we will see will not come from what appears. The deliverance that the people were experiencing—I take back to that serpent. When they looked at the serpent, what happened? They lived. But I want to ask you, is it the serpent that made them live? What made them live? God's word. Someone said the act is His Cross, it's His own. You remember the woman with issue of blood? "Your faith has made you well." It's not my faith, it's Your Cross. You take a cross. It's yours. "Your faith has healed you." I'm trying to make the point of "His, His, His" in this matter. "The just shall live by His faith." His faith is the cross. Are you joining some things together? Are you connecting the issues together? There is His Cross, there is this faith, there is this thing. By the act of obedience. Now look at something. I want to show you something. If God had said, "If anybody is bitten by the serpent, let him jump three times, he will be saved," where will salvation be? In the jumping three times. If God had said, "If anybody is bitten by the serpent, let him climb a ladder and touch the serpent, he will be saved," where will salvation be? In climbing ladder and touching. So where actually is salvation? In what God said. By faith we understand that the universe was framed by the word of God. Faith cometh by hearing, the cross comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. It comes, that thing we are calling "take up your cross". Take up, take up, let him take up His Cross. Let him live by His faith. For there is no way—go back now. He said the dead received—the women received their dead back to life, is that not? They endured affliction. You remember? They went through imprisonment. They were—they were desolate. He said all of these they achieved through—through faith. Do you see that when a man wants to suffer and he does not carry cross, he cannot? Are you seeing the connection? Let him deny himself, let him—but it does not end there. You—you take the cross. As you abandon yourself, you also take Him by what He said. You take Him by what He said. You take Him by what He promised. You take Him by what He provided. You take Him, you take the cross. You take life as at the cross. Resurrection is at the cross. Victory is at the cross. All those things, they come together. He said, "Let him deny himself, take the cross, and then follow me." Nobody—do you notice? Let me now take you back to that place. If any man will not look at that bronze serpent, please what happens to the man? He dies. That is what happens when we deny ourselves without the cross. What happens? We die. You cannot follow. We die. I will leave the matter here today. I'm just trying to give you an understanding of something, and I'm taking it from the most basic level. So many things have been twisted, so many things have been—because it's like—please. A coin has what? A head and a tail. Is that not true? But you can't say the head and the tail is the same thing. It's no head, it's not a coin. Again, if you look at a coin and both sides is tail, please is that a coin? No. Is this a coin? The both side and both side is head. Is that a coin? No. To make—to make a coin, what does it have? The head and the tail. The self-denial and the cross, they tie themselves together, but please they are not the same thing. They are not the same thing. They are inseparable. And that is why you notice this—the Master—"Can you drink the cup that I want to drink? Can you—" You always see him tying these two things together everywhere he goes. At some point you see the separation. The cross will talk about His death. He'll point you to the salvation of men from His cross. They are tied together but they are not the same thing. But then we'll be taking the journey on "let him take up his cross," and I will begin from the most basic level again with us. Even from the point of salvation, many of us don't take up the cross. And so you see why—you see an average Christian today, not being able to conquer besetting sin. They'll be talking of saintly sinners. You get the point? They'll be talking of sinning saints. I now naturally ask, is there saintly sinners? We need to understand this matter and get it clear. There is a cross. If we lay hold on that cross, there is a power of resurrection. It is by that power of resurrection, that's why we understand: it is no more me that live, but Christ that lives in me. Let us stop this evening, brethren. Let us close for today. Let us thank the Lord for the things that we have been able to discuss.
