REVELATION ON JESUS AS ALPHA AND OMEGA

Let’s do a quick recap from last week message on Jesus the Alpha and Omega. Alpha is the first Greek letter of the Alphabet. It is the beginning of all things. Alpha is like a tunnel and there is light at the end of the tunnel.
Omega is rock solid and durable.

Let’s quickly consider why Jesus is the Alpha.

Revelation 1:8 – Jesus said to John the beloved: “I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending …”
Revelation comes from relationship with the Father and not just from dreams.
I am Alpha! What is the meaning of this? There is only one Alpha and it is indisputable. The only beginning. This is unquestionable.
Genesis 1:1-3 – “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form and void: and darkness was upon the face of the deep…”

The messages of the old testament is based on the prophets because they were seers who sees the heart of God for nations and the people and bring judgement down to the people. What the Old Testament prophets said were authentic and this was also validated by the Lord Jesus who kept referring to them. Moses was an Old Testament prophet who was able to write five books solidly based on God’s revelation. Genesis chapters’ one, two & three form the basis of information, illustration and revelation to humanity.
In Genesis chapter 1, Prophet Moses, the servant of God wrote that God created the Heavens and the Earth in the beginning. The creative God is Elohim different from the functioning Jesus – Adonai. The activation of God’s power and glory is Adonai.
There are three personalities yet one God. They come under Elohim – the plurality of Godhead. No nation can know Yahweh more than the nation Israel as God is a foreign entity to gentiles but if we stick close to Jesus we know more of God. Elders
in Israel till date are still diligently studying the Torah. Israel is God’s wisdom for the world. In America today, the nucleus of those involved in the space world and Aeronautics are the Jews who are the harbinger of wisdom and knowledge.

The Hebrew world for beginning is called Bereshit. Hebrew words have the deepest meaning in global history. Created composes of two words: Bara and Ayeta. This simply means God put things together and made them to stand. That is while David said in Ps 93:1 that God establishes the world. Satan is a dummy devil, who has no clue.
God is Elohim. There is no beginning with God but there is a beginning for humanity and all creatures. John 1:8 – Jesus was and is our beginning. Jesus will always be in our beginning.
Begin to say these words in your place of work – Bereshit, Ayeta, Elohim.

This nullifies the dummy theory of Darwin regarding evolution of matter. Matter is contained by the power of God. It is a great thing to know our God. In the beginning was creation; creation of time and nature. Originally there was no time and nature in heaven.
Paul the apostle talks about revelation of 3 heavens , heaven where God the father, Son and Holy Spirit lives, the second heaven where satan is and the third heaven is the earth where we are and been commanded to subdue and dominate. Have you ever asked God about the 24 elders praising him continually in heaven? This is revelation and God does not limit us, He is the repository of wisdom and revelation and we can tap into it.
Our beginning talks about time but God lives in a timeless environment. No time in heaven. What is the functionality of time and what does time stands for? Time denotes day and night. Time is for record purpose. Time is period between two events. Time is precious.

Why is there no time in heaven? Because there is no limit of records of event heaven can accommodate. Heaven is not in a rush or hurry. Why do we always tell people that they must be born-again now? There is an appointed time for salvation. We must understand the ways of God. God does not watch over time in Heaven. There is no vacuum with God.

Bereshit – the beginning talks about being first. When Jesus said I am the first and I am Alpha. He is saying I am the first in all things beginning in place, time and rank. This is the meaning of Bereshit. Every believer is an alpha. We are always in place as far as God’s plan and programme is concerned. That is why God says He will tell Abraham about His plans. No believer should ever be depressed as we go through seasons and our seasons are good as they are in God’s control.

Bereshit explains beginning of time, order and rank. Make sure you are born-again to have record with God. The bible says we are living stones and apple of God’s eyes. God revealed to Peter that we are the house God lives in now. If we need favour, He who is in me will have access to it. I know my calling! God has used me to raise ministers and pastors even though our number in this church may not be great.

Sometime ago, God told me, I am now in my final stages of my ministry. God Has now called me to bless people. Monday was my birthday and no one was at home. Mama was at Cambridge and children away. God told me to spend the day with Him. Say to your neighbour, don’t be ordinary, the best is inside of you, let it bless people. Everyone could see from the recent prayer meetings organised by Pastor Salami that gifts came out and manifested and people were blessed. We will continue in that direction as this is what God wants us to do.

Let us quickly do a recap again. Bereshit means first in place, time order and rank. Bereshit also talked about first fruit. The first fruit of Salvation is Jesus Christ. Israel is the first fruit of Yahweh. The church is the first fruit of Jesus. Jesus is with His church and God is over all. The beginning means the best and the best thing God did for mankind is creating us in His own image. He showed mankind His Love. Let’s begin to ask God why I am here. What is God’s will and purpose for me. We need to acknowledge and discover God’s pathway to make meaningful progress in life.

Bereshit also means the principal thing. We are the most unique being; unique creature of God. We are just like God. Let us see the beauty of God’s work. In our beginning of business, let it be God and not fraud. Those who go into politics to destroy things have no beginning. This is why it is difficult for believers to be in politics. You cannot steal God’s money in church and prosper and say God has to understand. God is not in the beginning of fraudsters. Brothers and Sisters, this should change our orientation. There is better things and direction in God’s word.

In Genesis 1:1-2, in the beginning God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit created heaven and earth and this was without form and void and darkness was …
What is the meaning of this?

Responses from brethren:

- Earth was meaningless, no life, no light.
- Emptiness and the earth was with no pattern

Creation was in stages. It was first God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit who brought what was in the spirit realm into existence. Anything we do without God is void and empty. Anyone without God is empty.

In January, I want to have three solid weeks with the youths. When some of these youths got to the university, things changed in their life in the negative direction. I am very sad, bad reports of people in this church partying and not ready for God. We are in for something good in 2012.

Creation was spoken by the trinity into existence. Creation is in stages. God is God of order. That is why Paul the Apostle told the Corinthian church that let things be done decently and in order. Was it difficult for God to create all things at once? No! But God has a purpose for everything. Don’t put together plans without first consulting God. Everything in Genesis teaches us the way Trinity operates, no disunity. Theologians of today cannot misdirect us on the import of Genesis 1:2. Nobody wants to read Job 17. I have an assignment for everyone in this church to read the bible and finish it in 2012 and the Resident Pastor should coordinate this. This can be done by reading three chapters a day, a book of proverbs per day. If you don’t read proverbs, how can you be wise. Minimum of two chapters of psalm to praise God.

Genesis 1:3 – Let there be light …
Everything is in stages. The second stage is the appearance of the Spirit of God. The Holy Spirit functions to activate things in our life. “And the Spirit of God began to move round… When people are empty of ideas, the enemy takes over.

The third stage: Without other creatures, life will not be complete. God said let there be light and there was light. The trinity began their work together. God the Son who is the light came into the frame or picture to fix things together. Anything the enemies have done wrong in your life God will fix it in Jesus name. Amen. This will be the beginning of a new chapter in your life in Jesus name. Amen.

I commend your love in this place. Keep it up.

JESUS – ALPHA & OMEGA – Series 3-

Lets quickly look at the key points of what we have learnt in the past three weeks regarding Jesus as Alpha & Omega. The key words have been Elohim, Bereshit and Ayeta.

The Hebrew world for beginning is called Bereshit. Bereshit explains beginning of time, order and rank. ‘Created’ composes of two words: Bara and Ayeta. This simply means God put things together and made them to stand. God is Elohim.There is no beginning with God but there is a beginning for humanity and all creatures.

Human beings do not recognize why they exist. That is why God brought salvation to mankind. Come to God through faith in Christ as true believers have vision and knowledge of why they exist. This is because God has developed believers to have deep insight into why they exist.

A young child in this church once asked me why the bible always talks about the right hand. I checked the bible and it was quite revealing. The right hand is divinely made to be of strength and Jesus is at the right hand of God the father where there is strength. The devil as Lucifer worshipped Jesus in Heaven. He knew Jesus was coming as Messiah. Lucifer knew Jesus volunteered to come for man’s salvation. That is why Satan wanted to kill the child when He was born. Satan cannot kill our beginning. Satan is always failing, he cannot terminate our beginning. In Psalm 8, God honours His children and dishonours the devil. The bible says every information about us Satan cannot process to hurt us. You cannot be defeated and destroyed. Hold on to that confession that Jesus is Lord.

The kind of knowledge that makes people to deny Jesus will not come to our mind. The Holy Ghost will quicken us to know and discern God’s mind. Every child of God has the Spirit of God to discern God’s mind and we know when to stop. The difference between us and those who don’t know Christ is that Angelic hosts encompass us to give us divine direction.

Don’t disobey the Holy Ghost. In 1John2, we have the Spirit of God with us. The voice of strangers we would not hear. That is why I kept correcting many false teachers who kept hyping Satan and teach little of what Jesus has done. I am ready to offend anybody when it comes to the truth. Please pray for me to always speak the truth. I thank God for the people I have here who will not compromise the word. Please stand for the truth and don’t change your mind. Always confront challenges with the word of God.

Jesus the Alpha, the beginning of all things. Lets read Hebrews 1:1-3:’ God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
2Hath in these last days spoken unto us by [his] Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
3Who being the brightness of [his] glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;’
Every information we need about creation, God and Jesus is in the word of God.

First assignment: Please learn where the various books are in the bible in the next two months as I will begin to ask you in church. So be prepared!

Hebrews 1:1
‘God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets…
This is God Elohim who spoke to the fathers by the prophets. And who are the prophets? The patriarchs -: Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. These were the fathers. Who are the prophets? Elijah, Elisha, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Habakkuk, Nahum, Obadiah etc

Hebrews 1:2 …Hath in these last days spoken unto us by [his] Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
There is always cooperation, cohesiveness and oneness in the trinity. No one can know the father within our natural mind more than the Jews except where we are spiritually born. Our beginning is in Israel. Jesus is the beginning of creation, I will explain this next week. Jesus was born in the beginning of beginnings when all events started.

Hebrews 4:1-4
’ God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
2Hath in these last days spoken unto us by [his] Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
3Who being the brightness of [his] glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high…
Can you see the position relationally between God and Jesus and the Holy spirit- the activator who made all things happen. Let us be careful of the ‘bless me bless me ` group who don’t aspire to hear the truth but will only teach and hear what will enrich their belly. Wealth comes from God. Let us persevere and desire to know the truth. I have spoken to many Christians and scientists in my own way. Chemicals and atoms were formulated and put together for people to get knowledge but this is now making many people to puff up. This is not our portion in Jesus name.

Let us consider 9 points on this subject:
1. The Alpha is a great letter meaning Beginning. Jesus is the beginning of life everlasting or eternal life. And this life responds in two ways: positive – heaven and negative –hell. Jesus made hell to punish satan and his angels and ungodly people.

2. Jesus is the beginning of better relationship with God. Jesus is the beginning of our relationship with God.

3. Jesus is the beginning of a better covenant with God. I will do a different teaching on this some other time. God said I will heal the broken-hearted; I will heal their diseases and take away their shame. And this will apply to us as long as we are in tune with God. There is a wavelength, there are some magnetic forces that vibrate, they contain information in the spiritual realm and God releases such information which is already stored in the spiritual library. Daniel prayed and God answered but it took time to manifest because there are spiritual forces opposing. Pray that God would pull down these spiritual forces in Jesus name. I sense that we should stop here today and this series will continue next week.
