2011-06-26 Ncc 1st and 2nd svc – raw notes
Today’s svc recorded for a TBN audience worldwide.
It is important that we have this sense of family feeling in the house of God at Ncc
Pastor had 2 weeks of this family feeling because he stayed 2 weeks in Malaysia for 1 week of Servers’ Camp followed by 1 week of Youth Camp.
You are blessed if you are called to serve in the Youth Camp as the youths keep you young . Energy level of youth is amazing. Pastor and the youth ran around the stage during the praise segment of Worship.
Why was Benjamin given 5 changes of garment? During youth camp, there were 5 pastors !
Pastor says he will become a permanent fixture at future youth camps.
Children missing a fathers’ love whether physically or absentee father – often manifest in physical or emotional problems.
Often women who miss father is their growing up years result in future problems.
One woman who was pastor wife’s acquaintance passed away in 40s and she was in home with no father, only mother
Another woman died young too. She had a tough life with no parents and had to fight through in life
Empower your child with parent’s love. Tell child that you are well pleasing in your eyes. Follow Father’s example in blessing Jesus after emerging from Baptism
But how about children who are in good homes but are rebellious and act that they are never loved ?
The answer is in Prodigal Son story
Younger son did not receive the Father’s love although he was in fact loving !
The key is in the child’s perception !
Why did this happen?
Older son was the example. He had hard impression of father and that he had to slave to earn Father’s love
He set bad example to younger brother ! Younger son had hard perception of father through his older brother.
Many older brothers in church like some pastors who give hard impression of father to us !
They say things that they serve so hard for God but no blessings.
Judah stood up and say imprison me instead even though silver cup found in Benjamin sack !
Joseph impressed as Judah and the half brothers now standing up for half brother Benjamin !
In 2001, pastor prince preached about Ben generation . At that time Ben Natanyahu was Pm for first time together with Tony Blair and Clinton, youngest leaders for their nations
In the past decade, the Ben Gen called sons of sorrow and persecuted. Like preparation time. Now ten years later, Grace accepted generally and …
Nathanyahu has since become Pm of Israel again. 10 years later, Israel is ready
Now older brothers ready to accept Ben!
Time of preparation ended . Solid meat now
Gal 4:21 – 26
Gal 4:21 : Paul always challenges those who desire to be under law.
Ishmael born of human effort through bond woman
Law and Human effort go together
Sarah picture of Grace
Isaac child of grace .
Grace and promise go together ” I shall be your God …and you shall be my people”
Law and self effort go together. “thou shall obey, thou shall..”
Relax like Jesus . Rest is holy spirited activity. Not inactivity . Jesus achieved so much in 3.5 years.
Sarah and Hagar are picture of 2 Covenants
Hagar means bondage like a rope – something that binds you. She comes from Egypt where nearby is Sinai where Law arose
Bible says everything from Sinai produces bondage
We don’t want bondage
Those who hold on to the law are in bondage
Ismael’s father is Abraham but mother is Hagar !
Sinai is now uninhabited ! God has moved house to Zion but many still stuck in Sinai saying you have to be blessed by obeying Law. That is Galatianism – start by Grace but end in Law
Those under Law persecute those born of promise – Grace. Even today !
Biggest challenge have come from those who have same heavenly father but mother is Law !
Child of grace never persecuted the child of law !
Galatians tells us to cast out bondwoman ! Gal 4:30
Strong double negative in Greek indicating that there is no way that those of Law can inherit !
Strong word : cast. Same as cast out devils
Cast out the teaching of Law ! Don’t even bring into house as it makes God appear stern
Jacob did not love Leah , he was stuck with Leah.
Laban said it is not lawful for older sister not to marry first
Not lawful – Leah is pix of law !
Israel stuck with law !
Rachel pix of grace and beautiful .
Gen 29:17 . Leah had weak eyes. Maybe cross eyes or short sighted.
If somebody lacks Godly qualities in 1 Pet cannot see far i.e. weak eyes !
Leah represents weakness which stems from Law
Leah means weary and Rachel means ewe lamb
Female lamb means subjective truth. Male refers to objective truth.
Sarah represents Grace and world like heathen kings want her But without relationship with God ! Like world esteems charismatic gifts but refuse Jesus
Dan : called son dan as “God has vindicated me ! ” Not the judgement kind
Jo was child of Israel in old age
Once Jo born, no more child of Law born. Once Jesus is here, Law fulfilled. So in types, Leah and bond women stopped producing after Jo and Ben born .
Law / flesh may appear productive at first but results are not permanent
Finally rach produced and it was quality – Jo and Ben . And whatever Grace produces God maintains.
Gen 35:18
Beginning may appear sorrowful (Ben ONI) . People of grace . But end well – Benjamin – son of God ‘s right hand and place of favor and place of authority
Isaiah : God will uphold you with his right hand
Jo is best type of Jesus in OT
Eg Judah suggested to sell Jo . In Hebrew , it is judas / Judah who betrayed Jesus
God gifts are free but you got to be there to receive it
Olivia Lum received best entrepreneur award in Monte Carlo and she thanked God
Harvard, Princeton all started as seminaries
Even the best schools in Sg started as mission as schools
Pilgrims staked God claim in USA – in God we trust ! America must never lose this
There was a cartoon story of Jo and Ben. Ben talked to Jo and said the 10 brothers told him that mother Rachel died because of Ben
Jo hugged Ben and comforted him and she “no she died because it was her time and she loves him”
Like Many Ben Gen Christians being condemned as some say Jesus did so much for then but they did nothing for Him and accuse them for various things etc!
BenGen may be slandered and called bane of church at beginning but will end as son of right hand
Mel Gibson ‘s hand was the one which was filmed as hammering Jesus to Cross. Gibson after film felt condemned and that he was not worthy of Jesus. Thereafter Gibson life went down after this.
All the sons were named by mother. Lady is pix of church .
Church has named Previous generation : Joshua Gen , david gen, etc
But God names the last Gen : Benjamin .
Jo was born to prepare his people for famine . Today there is provision for famine .
Until Ben Gen (grace marks them) stands before me, there will be no more bread. – Jo says.
Simeon (Israel’s hearing) is locked until Ben is released. Seems like they cannot receive Jesus despite being good news being preached to them.
When Jesus passion started in garden until resurrected, no miracle. He suffered as a man. Only one miracle – healing of ear
This was out of sync with passion as Jesus was not supposed to be doing miracle
The healing of ear was of necessity
Malchus is Gk means king or kingdom is from Malek (hebrew) meaning King
The ear of the Kingdom was cut off when Jesus captured . but Jesus restored during Passion
Why Peter wield sword? Peter means stone and represents the Law! Law is composite whole. Once you break one , you break all and sword of judgement falls.
Law brings judgement and sword cut off hearing of people but because passion starts Jesus could restore hearing to his people
This healing of hearing happened during time of famine !
Time of no bread. This is times we are in now with global food shortage. Prophetic
We need God!
See tsunami in Japan ! Even in tech advanced country, we need God !
Even in couples going for IVF, in the end, you need God to give the child
Gen 43:16
The steward ‘s name is not mentioned . This is pix of holy spirit and he glorifies Jesus
Holy Spirit grieved when Jesus not glorified
Strong meat was released when Ben came as meat was slaughtered
They came for bread but God exceeds expectation and receive meat
Grace is solid food
Teaching law is milk.
Grace reveals what is in God’s heart
Law reveal what is in man heart
They expected to be imprisoned but Jo lavished food on them etc
Gen 43:22 Holy Spirit is now opening eyes to Jews that they are blessed by God
“we do not know who put the treasure in our sacks”
1 in 5 Nobel prize winners is Jewish
Many famous brands , companies, entertainers etc are Jewish
“we do not know who put money in our sacks “
- Abraham anointing
Between 60 and 100 Jews on Forbes list – out of proportion to population size
brought Simeon out !
When they realize it is all because of god – their hearing pop open
Gen 43:29 : mother’s son: first word Jo / Jesus says locates the generation
“God be gracious to you “
Jesus heart is yearning for a Grace Gen who will represent him well.
The first words of Jo
That locates the BenGen as Grace
We have the same mother : Grace
BenGen has 5x more food than brothers of Law. Gen 43:44
Gen 45:22 – 5 times garment
5 is symbol of Grace.
5th time , David name mentioned in Samuel, he found favor
Noah found grace when his name mentioned 5th time
Ruth found grace when name mentioned 5th time
Temple of God was full of fives
Regardless of economic downturn , BenGen has abundance of spiritual and physical food and clothing: take no thought of what to wear or eat , Jesus said
Like pastor Ben he can flow easily from business and pastor anointing! 5 changes of clothing !
Others can move from one anointing as authors to businessmen etc
Silver cup was empty. Pix of the cup drank by Jesus at communion
Communion is where you be conscious of forgiven sins. Drink in thanksgiving in a Eucharistic spirit
Many places is opposite they are sin conscious ! Opposite of empty silver cup !
BenGen message is that cup is empty ! Empty of curse ! Jesus has drunk cup of abomination sin and judgement ! Drunk to very dregs.
Gold is metal symbolism for divinity
Silver is metal for redemption
Redemption released through our mouth
Silver cup found in mouth of sack !
Number of victory is 300
Gideon had 300 men. 300 conquered thousands.
300 silver means victory of redemption given to Ben Gen.
Enoch walk 300 years
Woman who broke alabaster box ” why was this not sold for 300 penny worth” ?
The one whose sack the cup is found would be slave – Jo says
The Father’s soul was bound up in Ben . So father would die if Ben became slave
Ben Gen is so precious to God
So Judah volunteers to take Ben place. He loves his father. Does not want father to suffer
Jews came from word Judah.
Israel is safest place in future . Promise of no nuclear holocast given only to one nation – Israel
Jo says other people to leave and brothers and Jo alone . Reconciliation takes place in the private .
Jo weeps .
Jo tells them not to be fearful of the past . With all the power he had, he set them free from guilt of past. He also puts them at ease for present and future.
They will be brought close to Father in Goshen. Goshen means place of nearness . “There” he will provide for us. Let us be found near to him as part of Ben Gen and not other brothers, in last days.
Youth camp. New song arose ! Gifts flow easily as easy as playing playstation or Wii.
Youth after watching video of holy spirit gifts teaching and manifestation felt her hands was burning and the gift of healing had been imparted to her. She then prayed for aunt and scan reveals that tumours disappeared !
