THE TRUTH CONFERENCE 2024
Lecture 2 (TFG1) THE FULLNESS OF GOD: THE GIFT OF MAN
(Psalm 110:1-3, Romans 8:19, Ephesians 4:11-16)
UNCTION TIMOTHY OLUFEMI
God is not in haste to use man, because man has a mixed DNA. God began to manage man, because he needed man. God cannot do anything except man is involved, even Jesus didn’t just appear, he needed to come through the womb of a man.
God’s will for man is for him to have dominion even dominion over the devil.
The Dark Mission of The Devil ( Isa 60:1)
- SIN (Satan Identification Number) 1jn 3:8
- Memory Conversion lk 11:35, 2cor 1:13-15, eph 4:18,19
Ignorance is a gift from the devil. Devil captures man by brainwashing them, people thinks they know what they don’t know. Matt 6:24.
The gift of man was now far away from God because of our sin, Isa 59:1,2 Rm 5:12
The Two Bones of Contention That Must Be Settled Before Reconciliation
- Sin 1jn 3;5-11
- Image Rm 8:26-29. Isa 53:8-10
God formed us in His holy nature but Satan deformed us through his sinful nature. Jesus died to transform us by his grace in order to be conformed back to His image (col 1:15) by the Spirit of Truth.
Jesus came to restore our fulness (completion) to the likeness and image of Yahweh. 1jn
The 5 Fold Mission Of Christ (gen 1:26, Rev 5:1-12)
- Disarmed Satan
This is the reason why saints can live as if the devil doesn’t exist
- Atone for the Sin
Jesus atoned for the sin of the world
- He makes man Perfect.
Our labour is to make man perfect
- To subdue powers and sin
- To dominate the world.
The 3 Fold Mandate of Christ
- Redemption Matt 1:21(100% Grace)
Grace is free, a bribe and opposite of truth, IT SAVE US FROM HELL(believers world)
- Reconciliation (100% TRUTH) rom 5:11, 2cor 5:18-19 Eph 2:14-16, John 1:17 , cp Jhn 4:23-24,JHN 18:37-38.
We can only get what is ours when we follow this restoration.
When sin entered it turned man away from God, and God away from man. But when Jesus came to turned God to man, so God was seeing man through Jesus. But we need a labour to turn man to God, that is, the ministry of reconciliation (when Christ is fully form i. e replication of GOD)
TRUTH TAKE US TO HEAVEN (disciples world)
- Restoration( Rom 8:31-34); by restoration we receive the 7 folds in rev 5:12 through Jesus
Note: It is not enough to give your life to Christ but to have his life in you (col 1;27,2:20,4:19,). This is the Essence of Christ:
MYSTERY OF THE KINGDOM
- Believers are redeemed by grace (gal 4:1)
- Disciples are made by truth (Heb 12:1-10, gal 4:19)
- Kings becoming king restoration (1pet 5;10)
Jesus labour to make us king
Denominationalism is to be deleted when coming to Christ (Eph 4:10-14)
Discipleship process; transform to image of Christ (this is the essence of salvation and effective discipleship)
NOTE: disciple is an earthly model example of heavenly standard (Rm 8:29, Rev 5:9)
