2-Day Ibadan Teaching Seminar
Date:      Friday, April 20-21, 2012
Host:      The Brethren Christian Church (TCBC), Lagos
Pastor Afolabi Oladele

We are at the time that everyone is asking, oh GOD, what in the world is going on? It is a time when all the leaders are confused and they are not sure what to do… And that things are going on like this does not means GOD has taken off HIS Hands … Oh, but GOD is still very much in control … GOD is not sleeping… On that should be our confidence as things go from bad to worse…

Topic: THE GREAT REBELLION AND THE COMING DECEPTION
Matthew 24: 24- …The main essence of our gathering together is to ensure that the Elect is not deceived … 2nd Thessalonians 2: 10- …Satan is coming with all deceivableness of unrighteousness… Flouting the guise of pleasures above all else… We need to watch it in our walk with CHRIST?

, the basis of this is for me to have the understanding of why somethings are going on… Understanding is not understanding until I begin to understand and apply what I am learning … And until I begin to understand the knowledge I am getting, I do not really have wisdom … So, beyond information,

PRAYER: pray the grace of GOD to take me into the knowledge of HIS workings at these times…

The compelling lecherous spirits is sneaking on the people, even Christians and many don’t seem to see it …he is unleashing on the people the gods of pleasure…

STARTING THE MESSAGE:
2nd Kings 22: don’t begin to look for what does not belong to you… GOD is starting with me today on the issues of my life … This is to sharpen my understanding of what is going on in the context of the prophets deceiving the people… Every true prophet speaks the will and the mind of GOD on any matter!!!

Like a Coin, prophecies have two sides to it … Forth-telling is speaking the mind of GOD concerning a matter … Fore-telling is speaking the mind of GOD ahead on any issue … , if I know GOD, I don’t need any prophet to tell me the mind of GOD concerning my life … 2nd Peter 1: 19 …  There is a difference between Prophecy and biblical prophecies … An inspired word of a prophet coming from the mind of GOD is what I need to hold …

, watch it, many people are looking for revelation just like Phillip … But everything I need to know in terms of the revelation of the eternal GOD is already in CHRIST JESUS … All that is required of me is to search them out and seek unto GOD … 2nd Kings 22: 17- … This verse tells something that is yet to happen … Both forth-telling and fore-telling prophecies most times, go together …

Yet, some prophecies are conditional … And there are still some that nothing can change … Some of us who may have been bound by prophecies shall be delivered…

THE GREAT REBELLION AND THE COMING DECEPTION
But why rebellion?
1. For every one of us to understand that GOD is still in charge
2. That the prophecies HE has given concerning HIS people to see where we are in time is still on course
3. To see and know What/Where the Church is?
4. To know where Israel is

GOD never fulfills HIS prophecies in private particularly the ones concerning the end times …  Isaiah 43: 1-… Isaiah 64: 4- … Isaiah 45: 12-19 … GOD did everything HE did plainly and there was no hiding them … Isaiah 46: 9- GOD knows what is happening with leadership in our country -whether leaders are failing or getting it right … The Almighty is fully aware … trust JESUS wholly with your life …

Luke 17: 22-30 …
Some things are obvious like the days of Noah and some are not obvious … But what characterize their lives???
The GENESIS Factor – Genesis 3:
1. The first lie of Satan to Eve was the lie of immortality … Adam and Eve did not understand that the real death was eternal separation from GOD …
2. He also promised them immortality outside of GOD …
3. He promised them illumination; that their eyes would be opened  …thus promising to illuminate them outside of GOD …to become lords … This gave rise to the birth of Cain, the hybrid seed… And we shall do some reading into the Nature of Cain -who as we know never accepted his offence against GOD … It was this that led to rebellion exhibited by Nimrod and his cohorts when they attempted to build the Tower of Babel … Records have it that they wanted to get to where GOD is so they can deal with GOD in their own ways for what they believed GOD did to their fathers …

When people begin to do things that are extra-ordinary, they are gods … That is why science is promoting Trans-Humanism … This is to let us know the hour that we are in … Genesis 9; and Leviticus 18 … Lot’s children committed incest with their mother …as they also saw the nakedness of their father -and did much abominable things that GOD despises…

, where is my life in Christendom? Has gain become godliness for me? Our era is promoting Genetically Modified Foods; Genetically Grown Organs and others… These all look harmless and easily acceptable … But all the good things about sciences are actually meant to fulfill Satan’s intent to deceive and continue to deceive the people as the world celebrates the evil inventions… We would have no hope had JESUS not overcome the sin of the flesh … Thank YOU my FATHER and my Eternal Hope… YOU are indeed the Ancient of Days for me…

We are to read Scroll 80 … Satan tries to bring so many things on human beings to make us think that the things that have happened of old are no longer strange … But the issue is as you see these things; what manner of a person ought you to be in terms of getting better prepared for the coming of the LORD JESUS CHRIST that you claim to love so much?

1st Timothy 4 and Jude vs. 3-4, have you ever paused to ponder what will cause men to depart from the faith? It is possible for a person to fall prey to these spirits but will find that there is nothing more to them than the hearts of Cain, Balaam and Core …leading people into deeper sin… It is important for us to understand that there is the flesh and there is apostasy … These are the two challenges that believers face… And if you cannot overcome the flesh; there is the danger that such a person can fall into apostasy … Romans 8:

If you all think of is money, sensual relationship, pleasures, then there is trouble … Every day, the reality grips us more and more and we need to be careful so we don’t miss the Presence of the LORD … The solution to the sins of the flesh have been spoken … Galatians 5: 26; Romans 13: 14-;  … The battle of the flesh is different from Apostasy … , understand what you are dealing with … And deal with it … Prayerfully and decisively as you walk with the LORD JESUS in utmost faithfulness … Amen!!!
