SAMUEL DAVID OYELESE: The passing of a kingdom Icon.

This is brother Sam Oyelese whom I first got to know about through the ministry of brother Ernest Paul, in Let the Artists Prophesy (2011, I think). In my opinion, his prophetic depth, insight, acumen into the eternal purpose of God playing out in time in different dispensational moves is unparalleled in this country. He has a way with the scriptures, particularly the O.T and its relation to ultimate redemption.

In 2012, i together with friends like Oladimeji Elugbadebo, Oluwafemi Bello and others hosted him in Ibadan for a 2 day meeting. Then in Oct 2013, we hosted him in our Emerging Leaders Congress. And such a blast it was. He also ministered in our November 2013 edition of The Kingdom Community.

Brother Sam is a man who can engage you on phone for 2 hours. He speaks as though he has been given waiver by MTN. So when its time for me to call him, I make sure I buy N500 credit. And when it finishes, he returns the call and continues for another 45minutes, dissecting truth, line upon line.

2nd Speaker: Pastor Wole Olakunle

The teaching of the Temple or the Tabernacle is vital to our coming into the fullness of Christ. God is a positional God because He works in realms. This means there are different positions or levels in God. The Old Testament is the shadow while the New Testament is the reality. The two are inseparable, because the Old Testament is the New Testament concealed while the New Testament is the Old Testament revealed.

Spiritual things are positional, e.g Peter was able to confessed Christ as the Son of the living God because of the realm or position he operated. In Matthew 16, he declared Jesus as Christ the Son of the living God. He was standing on an elevated plane in the Spirit hence he saw better than the other Apostles.

Extract from Upgrade 19 - A walk through the Tabernacle.

Ist Speaker: Pastor Demola Akinyemi

There are different realms or levels of glory. The ultimate realm is the corporate sons that will emerge. God is building His bride to become His dwelling place. If you take a look at the Tabernacle, the outer court has its glory which is physical. When you get into the Holy place, you will see another glory which is a higher realm but it is not the ultimate. When you get into the Holiest of all, you will see the highest realm which is the Shekinah glory of God.

THE ISSUE OF CHURCH UNITY – Yemi Obideyi

"And He gave some apostles, and some prophets, and some evangelists and some pastors and teachers; v-12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry; for the edifying of the body of Christ. V-13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, "and the knoweledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ." (Ephesians 4:11-13).

Various attempts in time past to foster unity among Church denominations had failed woefully. In most cases, what usually started with an aphoristic drive to unite the churches often fizzled into a faded hope and the desired unity remains elusive.

Dis-unity among the church called by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ is an indication of spiritual immaturity. It depicts the state of being susceptible to the wind of doctrines - each of which is a measure of truth taken from the Bible, but not the whole truth (Christ Himself). 

In a nutshell, the Scripture contains books written across generations of mankind and as such it is a witness of the evolution and progression of God's dealings with man. It also predicts God's ultimate desire, plan and purpose of His creation. It is clear in the Bible that God relates with His people from the point of a new - born through adolescence to maturity. Consequently, there are things permitted for a toddler or beginners of the journey with God but not allowed at full age, adulthood or advanced stage or nearness to the land of promise.

For example, at their take-off, God led Israelites on their way to Canaan with the pillars of Cloud and Fire in the day and night respectively (Exodus 13:21). At a point in the journey, God said “you have dwelt for too long on this mountain". This simply means that the (physical) directional pillars had been removed and replaced with the leading of the Spirit of God which the people were expected to be tuned to. One denomination takes a part of the truth or what holds (held) sway at a point and builds (built) a doctrine around it to differentiate it from others.

BLAST FROM THE PAST: Celebrating the Ministry of the Fit Man

As a great downpour begins with solemn gathering of clouds, so it was with the exhaustive prayer session experienced at the fellowship last Sunday.

It began with a few comments made by some brethren on challenges to spiritual growth. In other words, attitudes often spurred by desires or lust of the flesh; on-the-job situations that pre-dispose people into lying; tendencies to pitching tent with the majority or siding with popular opinion even when the Spirit of God nudges one to go the other way etcetera.

In clear demonstration of the biblical injunction that “one shall put to flight a thousand, and two ten thousands” the brethren held one another and launched out into an intensive and combative prayer session. From the low to the medium and then high “tempo”, it was easily discernible that participants in this intercessory warfare were resolved and united in seeking God’s help to rid them of anything that could hinder “His Spirit” from gaining full and absolute control of each person’s members.

Time for "Revelations of the Tabernacle of David" at Upgrade 20.

Upgrade 20 is here this Saturday, 21st of May, 2016. The Theme is "Revelations of the Tabernacle of David" and the venue is 6, Ramos Street, Off Agege Motor Road, Mosalashi B/Stop, Opp. Dorman Long, Surulere, Lagos. Time is 10am.

God promised to raise the TABERNACLE OF DAVID in the last days. This indeed are the last days. This is the season of the full unveiling and transition into Christ. It is a time of complete, true and real experience of Christ. Let us knock on the door of God's glory and together experience His transfiguration. This is the reason why we're here.

I hope you can make it to the programme.

Upgrade 19 holds tomorrow. The theme is "A walk through the tabernacle".

Upgrade 19 is here again. The theme is "A walk through the tabernacle" into Christ fullness. The date is the 16th of April at 10am. C.L.U seeks a journey into Christ's eternal fullness and the programme holds at 6 Ramos Street, Off Agege Motor Road, Moshalasi B/Stop, Opp. Dorman Long, Surulere, Lagos. We are in the days of His coming. Please pray, plan and prepare to attend. It shall be glorious.

The Season before us by Wole Olakunle

One of the most constant things in life is a changing season. The season carries a body of specified time. The time within the seasons are uniquely marked by the Chronos and the Kairos of purposes. 

To every [thing there is] a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: 

He hath made every [thing] beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end. 

                                                                           Eccl 3:1, 11

Wikipedia defines Time as a measure in which events can be ordered from the past through the present into the future, and also the measure of durations of events and the intervals between them. While Merriam Webster defines purpose as a time characterized by a particular circumstance or feature and also a suitable or natural time or occasion.

Apart from seasons being denoted by time, it is purpose specific. Therefore seasons conveys a series of time and time carries specific purposes. The purpose behind seasons must be uncovered so that meaningful works that carries eternal purposes can be embarked upon. 

We Are Becoming Vitally United Into Him - Susan O’Marra

His Word- His Voice- speaks and causes us to become clean, and also joins us to Him as we receive it by faith:

John 15:1 I am the True Vine, and My Father is the Vinedresser. 2 Any branch in Me that does not bear fruit [that stops bearing] He cuts away (trims off, takes away); and He cleanses and repeatedly prunes every branch that continues to bear fruit, to make it bear more and richer and more excellent fruit. 3 You are cleansed and pruned already, because of the word which I have given you [the teachings I have discussed with you]. 4 Dwell in Me, and I will dwell in you. [Live in Me, and I will live in you.] Just as no branch can bear fruit of itself without abiding in (being vitally united to) the vine, neither can you bear fruit unless you abide in Me. 5 I am the Vine; you are the branches. Whoever lives in Me and I in him bears much (abundant) fruit. However, apart from Me [cut off from vital union with Me] you can do nothing. 6 If a person does not dwell in Me, he is thrown out like a [broken-off] branch, and withers; such branches are gathered up and thrown into the fire, and they are burned.

God's Generals New Series Overview

Christian Leadership Upgrade holds Saturday, September 19,2015.

The final Upgrade is here. To God be the glory. The programme has been seamless starting from this year’s inaugural edition in April to the August edition. I believe this final edition scheduled for 9am to 12noon, Saturday, September 19 will be the best ever. It will be three hours of glory. The timeline has been kept. God has been so good.

The year’s focus aptly tagged “The Book of Revelation Series” has been enlightening. I can boldly declare that I have learned so much as well as the participants. I want to use this medium to thank all the participants for faithfully attending the series. I have been so encouraged by their kind words. Imagine a kingdom Pastor telling me excitedly with joy written all over his face “Pastor Wole, I now fully understands the Book of Revelation”, among many. To God be the glory. However, I must admit, knowledge is progressive; The Book of Revelation is an unfolding discovery. I will explain a little about the theme “A Tale of Two Cities” another time.

For those who desire to attend Upgrade, this is the final one as our attention shifts to our other initiatives. The date again is Saturday, September 19. Time: 9am -12noon. Thank you.

Upgrade 17 holds this Saturday.

The second before the final Upgrade is here, Another time for upliftment is here.  Upgrade 17 holds 10am prompt,  Saturday, 15th of August 2015 at the same venue. The meeting is a continuation of the last edition which was on the "The Manchild, The Mark and The New Song".  Due to time constraint only chapter 12 which actually tackles the issue of the Manchild was taught extensively. This time around attention shifts to the popular chapter 13 where the "Mark" and "the Number of his name" was taken from. The Book details the instruction for the final church. We need to know what we ought to be doing now and the accurate demand of the Lord in these perilous times. The book is quite strategic and too damning to ignore.

"Blessed is he that readeth, and THEY THAT HEAR THE WORDS OF THIS PROPHECY, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand." (Rev. 1:3)

SOWING AND REAPING – Part 5

Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. (Ephesians 4:29)

Grace, in the above sense, would be defined as the saving Life and Presence of the Lord Jesus brought to people when the saint avoids words that are not wholesome but instead, uses his speech to build up and encourage those to whom he is speaking.
For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; (Titus 2:11,12)

The grace of God teaches us that we should live righteously. To seek to balance an emphasis on holy living with an appeal to mercy and grace makes no sense if grace itself teaches us to live righteously!

For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into immorality, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ. (Jude 1:4)

"Turning the grace of our God into a license for immorality." It appears that in the first century some of the churchgoers were attempting to use the forgiveness aspect of Divine grace to excuse immoral behavior. This is what always will happen when we dilute the necessity for godliness by continually referring to God's love, mercy, and grace.

It is difficult to live a godly life, and if there is an easy way to avoid fighting the good fight of faith, people will find it. "Grace" is employed today as the Divinely provided means of avoiding the stern discipline of true discipleship.

TREASURES IN HEAVEN – Part 2

. . . and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. (Hebrews 9:28)

Freedom from sin. The second of the nine heavenly treasures we will mention is freedom from sin.

We are commanded in this life to utilize every opportunity the Spirit gives us to put to death the deeds of our body. We are to put on the Lord Jesus Christ and make no provision for our flesh, to fulfill its lusts.

We are not debtors to our flesh that we are obligated to live according to the desires of the flesh. If we live in the desires of our flesh we will die spiritually. If we walk in the Spirit of God, the Spirit of Life, we will not spend our time and energy satisfying the lusts of our flesh.

Our physical body is dead to the Spirit of God because of the sin that dwells in it. Paul cried, "Who shall deliver me from the body of this death?" referring to the bondages of sin in his flesh (Romans 7:24).

At the Lord's coming He will deliver us from the curse of sin, from the morally impure compulsions dwelling in our flesh. He will set us free provided we are putting to death the deeds of our body today.

THAT WHICH IS PERFECT – Part 2

For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, (Ephesians 3:14)

The Process
The saints of Ephesus had been saved and filled with the Holy Spirit. For what, then, will Paul pray? Paul is praying for the saints of Ephesus to receive the third great work of grace, the fullness of God.

Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, (Ephesians 3:15)
God is creating a family. God's family is Israel, His elect, the saints, the brothers of Christ. The whole family is called by the name of God.

Whoever will choose to do so may become a member of the royal family. The Lord Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life of the Father—the Father of the family. The family for eternity will reveal the Father among the angels and the members of the nations of saved peoples of the earth.

That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; (Ephesians 3:16)

Notice that the moving of the saint from the second area of the Holy Spirit to the third area of the fullness of God is accomplished by the riches of God's Glory. If the maturing and completing of redemption were left to us we would despair. But there is enough Virtue, strength, and wisdom in the riches of God's glory to bring every willing participant to the fullness of God. The Lord Jesus is not only the Alpha, the beginning, but the Omega, the ending.

THE SONS OF THE KINGDOM – Part 3

But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren. (Luke 22:32)

We think of Satan standing before the Lord Jesus and asking Jesus to worship him-Jesus his Creator!

We think of the Pharisees as they had in mind to kill Jesus, and not only Jesus but Lazarus whom the Lord had raised from the dead, and we see the seed of Satan-the one who desires to be exalted above the stars of God.

People who desire to be exalted above their brothers and sisters need to be converted even though for many years they may have professed to believe in Christ.

The "wolves" that attack God's sheep are fairly easily identified if one will keep these four characteristics in mind. But remember, the worshipers of their own belly deceive the naive and unsuspecting with pleasant words and speeches. Those who are not watchful and prayerful will be deceived by them.

If we would be sons of the Kingdom let us purge ourselves from the four characteristics of Satan (prior essay) and pray that the Lord will teach us to wait on Him, being always ready to confess our sins and yet refraining from judging others. Let us pray for a good understanding. Above all, let us be humble of heart, seeking the good of others, having no desire to be exalted above our brothers and sisters in the Lord. If we do these things we will not be removed from the Kingdom when the shaking comes-and it surely shall come!

Three areas of sin. There are three basic areas of sin, as portrayed in the three temptations of Christ in the desert. Every son of God must pass through these same testings.
