The Sermon
The Creation
THE SERMON LIKE THE LORD’S
No greater sermon than the Lord’s!
A message from Uju a servant of Christ Jesus by the grace of God through Christ Jesus, according to the Word in the scripture,
2. To CHRISTENDOM; glory and honor be unto LORD God Almighty and Christ Jesus our Lord savior forever and ever. Amen.
3. According to Amos 7.14-15:
“Then Amos answered Amaziah, I am no prophet, nor a prophet’s son; but I am a herdsman, and a following the flock, and the LORD said to me, “Go prophesy to my people Israel.”
4. So am I, Uju, a worker of art by trade; the Word of God, the Spirit of God, in the name of Christ Jesus appeared to me in a flame of fire from the Scripture; and I immediately prophesied saying, “Repent for the kingdom of God is at hand” to people of the world.
5. I am no pastor, evangelist, prophet nor an apostle, but by the grace and mercy of God the father of Christ Jesus, I am writing this message to Christendom according to the scripture.
THE CREATION
The Word and the word!
THE DIVINITY
1. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” – John1:1
2. The Word of God is our Lord Christ Jesus – Rev. 19:13
3. “By the word of the LORD the heavens were made, and all their host by the breath of his mouth.” – Ps.33:6. “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth,” – Gen.1:1
4. “It is the spirit that gives life, the flesh is of no avail; the words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life.” – John6:63
5. From the above as written in the scripture, the word of God is the Spirit of God – The Holy Spirit. While the Word is the Son, Christ Jesus, the word is the Spirit of God the Father.
6. This is the Divinity. And this the way it works: God the Father, the Almighty God; God the Son, Christ Jesus (the Word) – the Mighty God; God the Spirit – the Holy Spirit (the word).
7. The scripture is the written word of God by men and women inspired by the Holy Spirit of God through Christ Jesus.
IN THE BEGININNG
THE 1ST CREATION
8. God created the Son, Christ Jesus through the power of the Holy Spirit first before the creation of the heavens and the earth and all the things thereof, according to the scripture in Prov.8:22-32,
“The LORD created me at the beginning of his works, the first of his acts of old. Ages ago I was set up, at the first, before the beginning of the earth. When there were no depths I was brought forth, when there were no springs abounding with water. Before the mountains had been shape, before the hills, I was brought forth; before he had made the earth with its fields, or the first of the dust of the world. When he established the heavens, I was there, when he drew a circle on the face of the deep, when made firm the skies above, when he established the fountains of the deep. When he assigned the sea its limit, so that the waters might not transgress his command, when he marked out the foundations of the earth, then I was beside him, like a master workman; and I was daily hid delight, rejoicing before him always, rejoicing in his inhabited world and delighting in the sons of men.”
9. Through the Son, Christ Jesus by the power of the Holy Spirit, God created the heavens and the earth and the things thereof, according to the scripture in Col 1.15-20:
“He is the image of the invisible God, the first-born of all creation; for in him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or authorities – all things were created through him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. He is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning, the first-born from the dead, that in everything he might be pre-eminent. For in him all the fullness of God was please to dwell, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of the cross.”
10. In the Beginning, when God created the heavens and the earth, He created man His own image as written in Gen 1.26,
“Then God said, let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping things that creeps upon the earth”.
“So, God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.”
11. And God called the man he created Adam, and Adam called the woman God created for him, Eve; and they became the first mankind. Therefore, from Adam and Eve all generations of mankind on earth are born.
12. And Adam and Eve fall!
13. The fall of Adam and Eve through disobedience of the word of God, the commandment of God to them, brought about sin and death to all mankind to this day.
14. Mankind, consequently cannot please God in their present state of sin, denying them the God’s desire of eternal.
15. But God’s Love for mankind, didn’t fail at all. Rather, God devised a divine means to recreate man to enable him gain eternal.
THE 2ND CREATION
BORN ANEW WITH WATER AND SPIRIT
16. In the 1st creation God initiated a lot of divine relationships to draw mankind nearer to Him such that man would gain eternal life: He used the prophets of old, the Levities, miracles, signs and wonders to manifest His love and heart design to man, but all failed.
17. Therefore, God decided to send His only begotten Son, Christ Jesus in demonstration of his love to redeem mankind from the shackles of sin and the dominion of death to salvation, as indicated in John3:16,
“For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.”
18. To achieve the divine purpose of eternal for man, God needs to recreate man through his Holy Spirit by the death and resurrection of his Son, Christ Jesus.
19. The death and resurrection of the Lord, is the only way man would gain salvation wherein the Lord has to defeat sin and death to set man free from its dominion.
20. Such a divine purpose of God is to unite both the Jews and Gentiles into one divine body of the Lord for salvation through the gospel.
21. Therefore, everyone was a sinner and needed to be recreated – born anew with water and Spirit of God through Christ Jesus, without which you are condemned to eternal destruction.
22. Thus, God set forth a reconciliation plan through the gospel and divine ministry to reconcile all mankind to Him through Christ Jesus by the power of the Holy Spirit.
23. And this could only be achieved by recreation – to be born anew with water and Spirit, as stated by the Lord in John3:5-8,
“Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born anew.’ The wind blows where it wills and you hear the sound of it, but you do not know whence it comes or whither it goes; so, it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.”
24. Therefore, if you are not partaker of the 2nd creation – being born anew with water and Spirit, is impossible to enter the 3rd creation, wherein the God will create a new heaven and earth and Jerusalem as written in Rev.21:1-4.
THE 3RD CREATION
A NEW HEAVEN AND EARTH, AND A NEW JERUSALEM
25. According to the scripture God will create a new heaven and earth and Jerusalem as stated in Rev.21:1-4,
“Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband; and I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling of God is with men, He will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself will be with them; he will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning nor crying nor pain any more, for former things have passed away.”
26. This is the expected eternal life! They way to it is to partake of the 2nd creation – being born anew with water and Spirit.
27. Therefore, if you are not born anew with water and Spirit, you can never enter the new heaven and earth and new Jerusalem, rather your place will the lake of fire – the second death as written in Rev.20:15,
“And if anyone’s name was not found in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.”
28. The lake of fire as place of those not born anew with water and Spirit is reaffirmed in Rev. 21:8,
“But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the polluted, as for murderers, fornicators, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their lot shall be in the lake that burns with fire and Sulphur, which is the second death.”
29. Recall, that there is no involvement of religion in all the three creations, no!
30. By every implication, is you and God alone! Religion would rather stop you from gaining eternal, than helping you. Please, awash yourself from the hands of religion on you, and look unto Christ Jesus for the salvation of your soul, period!
29. Therefore, I sincerely urge everyone who has not be born anew with water and Spirit to strive and do so, now is the time. Today if you hear his voice, do not harden you heart. Repent or parish!
