The temple that King Solomon built for the Lord was sixty cubits long, twenty wide and thirty high.  [That is, about 90 feet (about 27 meters) long and 30 feet (about 9 meters) wide and 45 feet (about 13.5 meters) high.]

By comparison, the Greek Pantheon is 69 meters by 30 meters, so that the temple of Solomon itself was not impressive in any way by size.  Compared to the pyramids, the temple itself was but a garden shed.

However, look at the material David had set apart for the temple:  “I have taken great pains to provide for the temple of the Lord a hundred thousand talents [That is, about 3,750 tons (about 3,450 metric tons)] of gold, a million talents [That is, about 37,500 tons (about 34,500 metric tons)] of silver, quantities of bronze and iron too great to be weighed, and wood and stone.” With a floor area of 243 square meters, each square meter of that temple had available for it 15.43 tons of gold and 154.3 tons of silver.  The temple of God would be impressive not by size, elect, but by the amount of precious metals including bronze and iron it would be made with… quantities that the time of David, about 1,000 years before Christ, had never seen.  Though you can calculate the monetary value of the gold and silver – USD150 x 10⁹ and USD22.8 x 10⁹ respectively – do not forget you are speaking of the value of these metals in the world three millenniums ago before we had industrialisation.  As such, David amassed a treasure unlike anything the world had ever seen, all just to build a building of 243 square meters.

We had a wonderful time at the conference.  We were able to multiply the food with leftovers of two 50kg bags of rice and other foodstuff.

Dubra, the third son of sister Mercy, was among a group of people who were watching tv in an open space.  Suddenly some men who were carrying guns appeared and started shooting.  Two of Dubra’s friends were killed on the spot and many others sustained various injuries, but he was not harmed at all.

Grace was sleeping and went into a coma.  She was rushed to church where I ministered to her with Bishop Elijah Nwabueze and Rosemary Osunobu.  She was healed and is now completely free from the sickness, which she had from childhood.

A sister from Sapele who had a seizure, asthma and pneumonia was restored.

The wife of bishop Captain Eromosele collapsed and went into a coma during the evening session inside the conference hall.  The medics who came from the general hospital said that she would not survive due to her high blood pressure.  After about two hours, she was healed.

Which of us has ever been privileged with following a teacher, master or pastor who has been able to do before his disciples what Jesus did?  The simple answer is none, not one.

For me, the greatest mystery of wickedness, that is, the forsaking of God, remains this:  How can men who have seen the wonders of Jesus give time to listen to men who disbelieved Jesus and had themselves never done what Jesus had done in front of them?

As Luke has recorded it, Peter himself was there in Jerusalem when Paul and Barnabas came up from Antioch to settle the matter about the need for circumcision to be saved because Some men came down from Judea to Antioch and were teaching the brothers: “Unless you are circumcised, according to the custom taught by Moses, you cannot be saved.” Peter, who was one of three who were eyewitnesses to the greatest of all of Jesus’ miracles before His resurrection and who was also witness to the resurrection, said nothing against James the Younger’s recommendations, but permitted the church to go back to the partial observance of the Law of Moses.

I am happy to testify that I was healed at the HSW’s conference of a terminal disease that the doctors called blood poisoning.  I did not tell Pastor Amos of it and I did not know I was healed until I got home and started noticing great changes in my skin and overall health.  At first I thought it was due to the change in the environment.  But a few days ago I did not notice any symptoms, so I went for a blood test.  To my amazement, the lab assistant declared my blood free of poison.  I visited the doctor today and he too was shocked at what had happened to me.  When he asked me, I told him that I first noticed the change after I returned from the conference.

Also, my elder brother, who also attended the conference, received 8 A’s, distinctions, in his exams.  What a great God we serve!

…parents are the pride of their children.

If the Holy Spirit is the Father of our spirits, for by Him we are born again, then should He not be our pride?  As the only commandment of the law that causes a blessing says, “Honour your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you,” then should not that apply to Him who gave us the command?

Honour can be spoken of in so many ways – love, respect, worship – but pride is rarely associated with honour because virtually all use of the word ‘pride’ in the Bible pride is spoken of in the negative.

Not everything in the Bible is gospel or good news.  It is good news only for those on whom God’s favour rests, but for certain individuals like Satan, the Bible has no good news, for his fate has been clearly decided already as Jesus said, “…the prince of this world now stands condemned.” Have you not noticed that after Jesus told His disciples, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from Heaven,” He began to refer to him as the prince of this world in John 14.30 and John 16.11?  Here is something to learn from your King, elect:  Respect… respect for your enemies, even those who betray you and hate you.  Remember that He greeted Judas, calling him, “Friend…” when Judas brought the crowd to arrest Him.  And this is the news for the devil with regards to his fate as John the beloved apostle testified:  And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulphur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown.  They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

If you are confident in your victory, you can afford to be courteous and respectful to your enemy, for your good manners show that you do live in Love, for love is not rude as Paul reminded us. There is no need to call the devil names that do not belong to him from here on.  If Jesus, our King, calls him “…the prince of this world…” so likewise, elect, we should.

However, the bad news in the Bible is not confined to Satan.  If you happen to be Mr. Warm with the first name Luke, that is, Mr. and Mrs. Lukewarm, there is news of a disastrous magnitude that matches the fate awaiting Satan, for Jesus has said, “So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit (vomit) you out of My mouth.” You can spend many hours and even years debating what lukewarm is.  However, the most profitable way to spend your time is to ensure that you are never lukewarm.  In the case of an unbeliever, be the ultimate of unbelievers; be totally ‘cold.’  However, for a believer, disciple, servant, friend or brother, the best defence against lukewarmness is to be hot all the time.  Jesus gave everyone who has heard of Him and His words the answer to avoid being lukewarm:  “If anyone is ashamed of Me and My words…” The first defence against lukewarmness is to be sure that you are not ashamed of Jesus and His words before this adulterous generation.

As Jesus often repeated His teachings on different occasions, even repeating the miracles, as a reminder to His disciples, so it is proper to remind ourselves, elect, the purpose of our election, and this should be something that we always do.  For as surely as the Father has drawn us to Jesus for our salvation and Jesus has called us as His disciples… so the Holy Spirit has elected us as He set Barnabas and Saul aside for His work.

For those who are mature now and have gone through the first round of training, it is essential that you are clear on the purpose of election so that there is no confusion in what you will say to those the Holy Spirit is now adding to His elect.  The work He has set us aside for begins with the work that He Himself was sent to do – “…teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.” And the most important matter in reminding is the restoration of the Father’s command to all disciples of course, which is, “Listen to Him.”

Secondly, the Holy Spirit “…will testify about Me,” as Jesus said, which gives us the example to follow so that we would know how to testify about Jesus as well as He has said, “And you also must testify…” So our ability to be witnesses is shown us by the Holy Spirit from whom comes the power to be witnesses in the first place.

“At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.” This is the way Jesus described His arrival to the apostles as they sat on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple. The location itself, if you care to observe, shows much.  It is the place from which He ascended to the right hand of the Father and the precise spot on Earth that His feet will touch when He returns to begin His millennial reign.  However, the word opposite in Mark 13.3 also reveals the position of God from that moment – God sitting opposite the temple… which, in truth, was not His real temple, but rather, symbolised all that men had done to what God had intended… a monument to how Israel had failed God through their disobedience.

So the end times that Jesus told the apostles about will take place on the location of His ascension and His return – opposite the temple.  As such, elect, not only are the words of the Lord concerning these days important… the attitude is just as important.  The focus on the whole picture… see it… seated on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, speaking of the end.  The whole picture, elect, is the fulfilment of His words in opposition to all that is a religious mockery to God’s perfect way from the perspective of the ascended Christ looking forward to His arrival in power and great glory.

As such, what sort of church should be waiting for Him on the Mount of Olives?  A church that is seeking to be raptured out of harm’s way before the days of distress begin?  That is the coward’s way and your Jesus does not deserve that.  A church that is bedraggled, battered, shattered, barely hanging on to survive and keeping the faith, waiting for the rescue?  That is the way of the faithful but the powerless.  Even though the writer of the Hebrews spoke of the heroes of faith who overcame the obstacles of their day, the writer was not completely correct when he accredited their ability to overcome only on the basis of their faith, for it was not by faith alone that the people crossed the Red Sea, but by the power of God that parted the Red Sea when the people had no faith… except for Moses who kept the faith and released the power.  As good as it may seem that at least the church has kept the faith, its state of powerlessness is still be short of the investment that Jesus gave it.

“Whoever has My commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves Me.  He who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I too will love him and show Myself to him.” To which Judas (not Judas Iscariot) said, “But, Lord, why do You intend to show Yourself to us and not to the world?”

Has it not occurred to you, elect, that this is an unusual thing for Jesus to say that He would “…show Myself to him”?  After all He was not talking to the crowds then, but to the eleven with whom He had spent the better half of two years or more (Julian years that is).  It is even more poignant when you realise He was speaking to eleven men, all of whom had not held onto His commands previously and the same eleven who would not hold onto His commands in three days time.  For Jesus, by His foreknowledge, would have known of the disobedience and disbelief that the eleven would show to the news of His rising from the dead.

It is specifically that you know that He said this to the eleven who had disobeyed and would disobey that you can have the confidence that these words do not extend to them alone… but to “Whoever has My commands…” Those who are the ‘whoevers’ are surely those who have been discipled and have been taught to obey everything that Jesus has commanded as He would later tell them, “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.”

“Brace yourself like a man; I will question you, and you shall answer Me,” said God to Job out of the storm after He had listened to Job’s litany of complaints about what had happened to him and endured the advice of his friends.

One thing we need to learn, elect, is to brace ourselves, for the Lord will question us and we will have to answer Him.  For He has expressively said when He was speaking to Peter, “From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked.”

In case you still do not understand the purpose of the book of Job and the events that happened to Job… Job was chosen by God when He referred Job to Satan, “Have you considered My servant Job?” as His champion who would withstand the temptations set against him and still not deny the Lord.  Job went through his days of distress as he lost everything except his life, yet never denied the Lord, but rather, waited for the Lord to answer him so that he might know why he was so afflicted.  When the Lord finally arrived to answer him… see Job’s answers:  “I am unworthy—how can I reply to You?” and again, “My ears had heard of You but now my eyes have seen You.  Therefore I despise myself and repent in dust and ashes,” because Job suddenly realised the enormity of God arriving to answer Him.

The man with the drawn sword in his hand whom Joshua encountered outside of Jericho would not have been there had the first generation of Israelites under Moses obeyed God 40 years or so earlier and entered the promised land as instructed.  In fact, the book of Joshua as it is written would not have been written had that first generation believed and obeyed God.  And if the book of Joshua would not be as it is, then neither would the book of Judges, Chronicles, Kings and so on.  There would be no book of Esther or Daniel, Ezra or Nehemiah… for if Israel had obeyed and kept on obeying, there would have been no exile to Babylon.

This then is the truth, the unpleasant truth, and be reminded of it:  What we call scriptures are a record of the results of our disobedience, disbelief and unrepentance.  Genesis would only have chapters 1 and 2 as it is had Eve not been deceived and Adam not sinned.  There would have been no ark or flood needed for Noah.  So, elect, the true knowledge of the scriptures that is needed so that errors are eliminated is this:  What we have as scriptures now are not what we would have had if only we obeyed, believed and even repented.  Even Adam could have saved Genesis 4 from being written if only he repented instead of blaming Eve.

If that first generation of Israelites had humbled themselves, repented of their unbelief and disobedience, and in their repentance returned to the desert instead of presuming that the Lord had forgiven them just because they said, “We have sinned.  We will go up to the place the Lord promised.” They presumed that an acknowledgement of their sins allowed them to break the new command that God had given them instead:  “…turn back tomorrow and set out toward the desert along the route to the Red Sea.” For acknowledgement of the sin is not repentance… if repentance is done only to avoid the punishment.  Rather, repentance bears its fruit when the sentence for the disobedience is received and rejoiced with.  For God had declared to Moses, “I have forgiven them, as you asked.” As such, they were being sent out into the desert as those whom God had forgiven and not as ones whom God had not forgiven.  They may have been sent into the desert so that all their bodies would fall there, yes… but to fall as ones forgiven by God and not as ones whom God had not forgiven.  It was their second offence that sealed their fate… not their first.  For had they humbled themselves and obeyed… falling back into the desert humbly… who knows, perhaps God might have changed His mind and after a few years of military training to boost their confidence, allowed them back into Canaan a second time.
