Transferring the Legacy & Distinguishing of 2010 Tabernacles– South Africa Session 7
The God of Generations God is a god of Generations. Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, 12 tribes of Israel. Important statements: 1. Each generation is crucial and strategic in God’s plan. Elijah got the Mandate, Elisha nurtured it, Jehu got the power to execute it. Each generation must receive their own specific revelation for with this revelation each must then run their race in order to fulfil destiny. 2. Each generation rises out of a spiritual vacuum which proves God is real in their day. Each has their own challenges. They will fight it, rise up and shine brightly. Never make children feel they cannot do it. Do not play them down. Allow them to look up to you and be their hero, their model, their leader. Somebody they can always look up to. They need to be shown what they become when they have grown up. Teach them values and leave them with the possibility to choose. You must trust them. They must know you believe them. You must raise them up to be trustworthy, not to be controlled by you. They must know that they can and will make a difference. Remember: in the midst of all perversity we do not have to be afraid. We can trust God. We follow Him, laying down our life, having received everything we have from Him. Fathers must lay the inheritance for their children’s children because of the future that will come. The system will be too much of a demand for too little of resources. The pressure will be impossible to stand without being prepared well. 3. Each generation is marked by perversions of the reigning culture and the dominant thought pattern of that day. The reigning culture of today is perverted relationship. ‘ I will go where I am used and needed’ The only way to destroy this is building differently. Having relationship with honour and covenant. People in church are not related, just contributing. Being ready to leave any day. We need to live by a different code of ethics. Show and live a model that is based on righteousness and truth.

Seth was given to replace him. Then Enoch came, and men started calling on the name of the Lord. We must move others higher paving the way of God for them. If a generation is selfish thinking about themselves then a whole generations can be lost. 5. Each generation must secure the next generation’s destiny by their obedience. By you being faithful the next generation is set on course. If you are inaccurate in your day the next generation will suffer. 6. Each generation can give birth to a stronger generation of overcomers. 7. Each generation must be held together by a sense of divine continuity and destiny. Generations are interconnected serving the same God and the same purpose. Being intertwined, being partners in destiny, serving a corporate destiny.
The power to continue in the legacy of our fathers is established through seven very important things: a. The power to continue in what we have received. Learning it, seeing it modelled, doing it! You must practise what you have received. b. The power to maintain and multiply the needed resources for our journey. Legacy cannot be taken on by lacy people. You must finance yourself on the journey towards destiny. Find a way how to go and study the notes, add more scriptures, deepen it. Be diligent and work towards the place towards destiny. c. The power to stay the course in endurance. Character formation without being sidetracked, distracted, discouraged, disillusioned, demoralized, intimidated. Taking the fight to the gates of the enemy, pushing back the satanic forces. d. The power to prevail over limitations and restrictions. You must design your own strategy to win. Use your head. Think strategy. Break your limitations. Climb over. e. The power to gather others to synergize movements and gather strength along the journey. Find those having the same frequency, encourage them, strengthen them, build them up. f.
The power to fulfil the purpose of our assignment.
g. The power to finish strong in our destiny. Let nothing turn you away.

Transferring the Legacy & Distinguishing of 2010 Tabernacles– South Africa Not every father carries a legacy. Fathers with a legacy carry some very distinctive features: 1. They have received clear convictions from above. They carry a very clear passionate conviction within their heart for it is this conviction that creates within them key core absolutes and core that shape their lives. This is a heavenly deposit which drives them beyond culture and circumstances. This heavenly deposit is what causes them to take courage to hold on till the end of their course has been run. Convictions become bedrock for a life. Their whole nature of life is formed by God driven absolutes. Values and principles are lived daily as they have become convictions of steel. Unchangeable absolutes and are not only being imparted but more importantly are being modeled to another generation. Their strong valued system is brought to a corporate standard for the whole family. 2. They have a prevailing mindset and clear set thinking pattern. They break every obstacle and limitation. Nothing can prevent them from fulfilling what God has spoken to their lives for within them lies a tenacity and determination. They press for it whatever is happening for their minds are fortified and cannot be penetrated by intimidation. They will not allow themselves to be excused for rising. They will not allow anything to hold them back. Their beginning is always insignificant for they work and focus on the future. They do not believe the world owes them anything. Legacy does not only belong to ministers or pastors for we are talking about fathers, father’s who laid foundations for the next generation. Fathers are people who allow the next generation to stand on their shoulders modeling away way to think, perform not to mention show a way to carry convictions within ones heart despite inner frustrations. 3. They develop a corporate culture. The corporate culture of fathers is enhanced by collective strength. Fathers find and develop key people in order to form and create formidable teams. They display amazing ingenuity in creating partners to get the job done faster. They are not loaners; for they engineer ways for partnership to go to higher levels for there is no individualistic thread within them. They never waste time or energy or on selfish agendas but instead time is a commodity they spend on raising children.

Grace makes you a minister. God works in your heart to form within you a deer level of grace. 5. They understand structure and government. They are not lawless people, they follow rules, and are not careless. They teach you to honor those above. 6. The assignment. They know they have an assignment from above. Clarity of purpose is embedded into their hearts and minds; for this allows them to charter their course not only for their lives but for the lives of those connected to them in destiny. The finality is not marriage. The finality is taking marriage towards destiny. Every relationship is to go somewhere. Courtship should be used to discuss higher issues. Raising children is only one issue but what about talking and agreeing on other things. When you enter into an agreement you should have discussed all manner of issues. You as a pastor should not allow them to marry if the couple hasn’t discussed all issues. 7. They are strong in covenant. Their marriage is intact. They are honorable to contracts. They will stay true to agreements. Honor your father and your mother – and longevity to anything that happens in your life will be present. With spiritual fathers you can add: 8. The release of truth. The word in season. The proceeding word is provided in every season, provided to all sons and daughters. 9. The impartation of the spirit. What they carry they deposit into the lives of the people. 10. They provide relationships established in covenant. No mistakes are used against each other. You cannot be picky. 11. There must be an exemplary holy life. A life in prayer, without vulgarity, dirty jokes, . . .no spending going callous, no weak prayer life, no excusing away of wrong things, the pressure of helping people and carrying them through, . . . 12. You must continually grow and break new grounds so that there is an open field for others meaning your sons and daughters to labor in. The Church Unusual

God has pushed this nations several levels up. It is amazing. God has done this by the power of the Holy Spirit. The time for South Africa is now. God has already initiated the Alliance of Honorable men and women in this nation. They may be hidden, but they are already there. Being transformed by God. Allow Him to finish the work He wants to do. God will cause these men and women to be identified. When the time is up, God will lift up His hand and make visible whom He has chosen and formed. He will identify those who are His. You will be connected immediately with those people. The Alliance of honorable men and women will suddenly be created. A divine connection will form this alliance. The second word that came to me for this nation is ‘ city of the living God’. A city is more than one person, one house, one church, one ministry. Suddenly there will be a divine connection between those churches that God has raised, forming the city of God. This city will be the voice of God in this nation. Dr. Jonathan: We need to pull together our strength. We need to join hands to finish the course. Let us provide help for each other so everybody can become strong.

The Legacy of Faith The faith that was once delivered to our father’s. Jesus said ‘ have the faith of God’. We can have the God kind of faith. Mar 11:22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. Mar 11:23 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou taken up and cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that what he saith cometh to pass; he shall have it. Mar 11:24 Therefore I say unto you, All things whatsoever ye pray and ask for, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. Before you pray you must believe. You must believe that you have received it inside your heart, then heaven will grant it. Remember: When you have a problem you do not pray. You go to God and find out what He says about it. He speaks and makes things happen. Before you can make things happen He must speak to you. You must embrace before you ever see results, believe it in your heart that you have received it. Then pray. Have the faith of God. The faith that once was delivered to the apostles. How you believe is more important than what you believe. The process will clean up what is wrong. Let faith rise in your heart. Log onto this kind of faith the faith of God. This faith cannot fail. Nobody can stop this. Stop listening to people who are confused, who doubt, The process of the faith of God. 1. God said it. This must come first. Do not pray what he hasn’t said. Not said in the bible. But spoken to you. What He has spoken is your ground, your material to work with, your reality in every aspect of your life. Not your prayer, fasting, or any other performance will make things happen. Do never allow wrong voices to come to you. Shut them down immediately. God\s word is final. The Church Unusual
Page 7
Transferring the Legacy & Distinguishing of 2010 Tabernacles– South Africa 2. God said it, I believe it. Never stop believing. Never allow anything to intimidate your faith. 3. The Holy Spirit will confirm it. He will saturate your heart. The fastest way to attract the Holy Ghost is to get the word.. Mary said: Be it done to me according to your word! And the Holy Spirit overshadowed her. He will remain in the Word. You keeping His word in your heart will attract the Holy Spirit! 4. Satan fears it! 5. Your mouth must declare it! The word must have volume for it must have feeling and authority. Give life to it with your words. 6. Earth will yield to it. Mountains will begin to back off. Circumstances will adjust according to His purpose. Your enemies will be at peace for you. 7. God will fulfil it. He will come down and it will happen exactly as He said. He doesn’t expect you to do what He said. Just believe inside your heart. The day you take the word and honour it things will start to happen.

Because I am the loved of the Lord No spiritual father, wife, husband can give this portion of love to you. No one but Him can love you the complete right way. Show us the Father – then we will be satisfied! (Papa talking of God speaking to him personally) He spoke to me before I left my room: Tell my people not to become emotionally dependent on anybody because it is I who must fulfill this role as father. This bondage will make us parasites in that all our expectations come from other people. Do not turn to people when you should turn to God for you will get hurt bitter and offended, You must be able to love somebody dearly without putting yourself in the ongoing position of being hurt. Relationships are for work, and not for social wellbeing. Adam was not lonely but alone in a job. Using relationships for social wellbeing puts undue pressure on others. Just love the people for the sake of doing the work together. It is not a personal not being loved, hurt etc. Learn to relate and go forward in the work together.

I want to draw from you and become satisfied in you, so I do not put pressure on others. Thank you that you have blessed me today by giving yourself to me as my father.
The Transfer of Legacy Clear is a foundations to see that God is interested in continuity. He wants to start with one and then goes from one to many 1. There is a way to tell. You and I must find that way. Education, preaching, parables, dreams, visions. 2. It must be told accurately without error. Making error in the interpretation will make it worse in the next generation. 3. They were told. Somebody informed them. There is a generation who is being told. 4. Our fathers told us. It is the work and responsibility of fathers to lay down a pattern of truth. Gen 18:17 And Jehovah said, Shall I hide from Abraham that which I do; Gen 18:18 seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him? Gen 18:19 For I have known him, to the end that he may command his children and his household after him, that they may keep the way of Jehovah, to do righteousness and justice; to the end that Jehovah may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him. ‐ ‐ ‐ ‐
God chose Abraham because Abraham was commanding His children to walk after Him Children are commanded by their father You keep the way of God by doing ! The father sees all of us who are connected as one – one being blessed means everyone being blessed.

Do not talk about what is wrong, because there will be no end to it. (Papa) I do not want you to do what I am not doing. I will not teach you anything I cannot model. Church is not by theory but by practise. 5. We told the next generation. The standard to the fathers is the standard to the children. No different teaching in the Sunday school. Do not reduce truth given to children. Children must hear the truth at a level so they can rise up! 6. It is continually told. We do not stop telling. Every next generation is being told accurately without error and failing. The more often told the better it is understood and revealed. 7. The content of what is told. God has the strength to do what he said. If God said it He can do it then he can do it. Every generation must know that he has strength to do wondrous works and He will do exactly what He has said. 8. Fathers teach ‐
what he has established as s testimony of himself. God has years and years of credibility! He has history! His Story!
‐
what he has established as a law of the spirit.
‐
what He has commended them. (that which He commend our fathers. ) Everybody coming in must hear the same command.

what Children need to know the God they have and serve.

Ps. Tunde Bakare: No one has ever encountered God and remained the same. If you have then what you encountered wasn’t God. Have you way Spirit of God. Communicate directly from the heart of God into the hearts of men tonight. Fill those open hearts with your truth. Often we emphasize the very things that are not necessary. And we forget the things that are very essential. How can we be the church of the future if we have no understanding about the future of the church? What was supposed to be a movement became a monument. It has been institutionalized. Is that church? No. Jesus said I WILL BUILD MY CHURCH. And neither hell nor men will prevail against it. Peter had a mother in law. The pope has no wife. How can the Pope be the successor of Peter? We need to find out exactly what Jesus started the church for if we want to fulfill the mandate properly.

Distinguishing the Tabernacles
1Chronicles 15:25‐29 So David, and the elders of Israel, and the captains over thousands, went to
bring up the ark of the covenant of Jehovah out of the house of Obed‐edom with joy. And it came to pass, when God helped the Levites that bare the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, that they sacrificed seven bullocks and seven rams. And David was clothed with a robe of fine linen, and all the Levites that bare the ark, and the singers, and Chenaniah the master of the song with the singers: and David had upon him an ephod of linen. Thus all Israel brought up the ark of the covenant of Jehovah with shouting, and with sound of the cornet, and with trumpets, and with
The Church Unusual

Transferring the Legacy & Distinguishing of 2010 Tabernacles– South Africa cymbals, sounding aloud with psalteries and harps. And it came to pass, as the ark of the covenant of Jehovah came to the city of David, that Michal the daughter of Saul looked out at the window, and saw king David dancing and playing; and she despised him in her heart. 1Chronicles 16:1-25 And they brought in the ark of God, and set it in the midst of the tent that David had pitched for it: and they offered burnt‐offerings and peace‐offerings before God. And when David had made an end of offering the burnt‐offering and the peace‐offerings, he blessed the people in the name of Jehovah. And he dealt to every one of Israel, both man and woman, to everyone a loaf of bread, and a portion of flesh, and a cake of raisins. And he appointed certain of the Levites to minister before the ark of Jehovah, and to celebrate and to thank and praise Jehovah, the God of Israel: Asaph the chief, and second to him Zechariah, Jeiel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Mattithiah, and Eliab, and Benaiah, and Obed‐edom, and Jeiel, with psalteries and with harps; and Asaph with cymbals, sounding aloud; and Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets continually, before the ark of the covenant of God. Then on that day did David first ordain to give thanks unto Jehovah, by the hand of Asaph and his brethren. O give thanks unto Jehovah, call upon his name; Make known his doings among the peoples. Sing unto him, sing praises unto him; Talk ye of all his marvellous works. Glory ye in his holy name; Let the heart of them rejoice that seek Jehovah. Seek ye Jehovah and his strength; Seek his face evermore. Remember his marvellous works that he hath done, His wonders, and the judgments of his mouth, O ye seed of Israel his servant, Ye children of Jacob, his chosen ones. He is Jehovah our God; His judgments are in all the earth. Remember his covenant for ever, The word which he commanded to a thousand generations, The covenant which he made with Abraham, And his oath unto Isaac, And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a statute, To Israel for an everlasting covenant, Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, The lot of your inheritance; When ye were but a few men in number, Yea, very few, and sojourners in it; And they went about from nation to nation, And from one kingdom to another people. He suffered no man to do them wrong; Yea, he reproved kings for their sakes, Saying, Touch not mine anointed ones, And do my prophets no harm. Sing unto Jehovah, all the earth; Show forth his salvation from day to day. Declare his glory among the nations, His marvellous works among all the peoples. For great is Jehovah, and greatly to be praised: He also is to be feared above all gods.
1Chronicles 16:37‐40 So he left there, before the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, Asaph and his brethren, to minister before the ark continually, as every day's work required; and Obed‐edom with their brethren, threescore and eight; Obed‐edom also the son of Jeduthun and Hosah to be doorkeepers; and Zadok the priest, and his brethren the priests, before the tabernacle of Jehovah in the high place that was at Gibeon, to offer burnt‐offerings unto Jehovah upon the altar of burnt‐

We are not here to show what we know or to make ourselves shine. Let God show Himself. Why declare His glory among the nations? What is the reason for David delivering this song?
Psalm 78:56‐60 Yet they tempted and rebelled against the Most High God, And kept not his
testimonies; But turned back, and dealt treacherously like their fathers: They were turned aside like a deceitful bow. For they provoked him to anger with their high places, And moved him to jealousy with their graven images. When God heard this, he was Wroth, And greatly abhorred Israel; So that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, The tent which he placed among men;
The tabernacle of Shiloh is not different from the Tabernacle of Moses. Shiloh was kept by the sons of Eli, who didn’t know the Lord. It is about getting it right so the present generation can fulfil purpose!
Psalm 78:67 Moreover he refused the tent (tabernacle ) of Joseph, And chose not the tribe of Ephraim,
When Joseph brought his children before His father, Israel crossed his hands when blessing them, knowing what he did. Everything that God accomplished in Joseph became a tabernacle, and He is looking for a generation that He can put this things into! You can never borrow ideas from the world to run the church. It does not matter who the author is – the moment you are using books of the world and try to justify their principles out of the bible you raise something in the church that will not serve the purpose of God.
( you cannot use philistine technology to carry the ark !!! ) 1Chronicles 15:1-3 And David made him houses in the city of David; and he prepared a place for the ark of God, and pitched for it a tent. Then David said, None ought to carry the ark of God but the Levites: for them hath Jehovah chosen to carry the ark of God, and to minister unto him forever. And David assembled all Israel at Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of Jehovah unto its place, which he had prepared for it. The Church Unusual

1Chronicles 15:12-13 and said unto them, Ye are the heads of the fathers' house of the
Levites: sanctify yourselves, both ye and your brethren, that ye may bring up the ark of Jehovah, the God of Israel, unto the place that I have prepared for it. For because ye bare it not at the first, Jehovah our God made a breach upon us, for that we sought him not according to the ordinance.
You cannot borrow ideas from the world and call it God. You cannot use marketing principles from the world to run your business and call it kingdom business. YOU cannot discern nor judge your church or conference by numerical growth or size of offering instead of number of lives being changed. Good ideas are not necessarily God ideas. The road to hell is paved with good ideas and intentions. If the intention is to make profit on the expense of people you are not running a kingdom business. Concerning having children: What do you really need a child for? Children are the inheritance of the Lord, and the fruit of the womb is His reward. You want a child because everyone else has one – then you are following the sin of Israel who wanted a king like every other nation has? God knows exactly the time and the season He wants to give you a child in. A child needs to be trained according to the assignment God has given to him. Train up a child according to GOD. Concerning marriage: Do you know what you will become later? Do you know what the man will become later? Don’t you think you need to ask God? If what He becomes is different from what God wants to do with you there will be a destiny clash. Two cannot walk together except they agree!
Why are there numerous conflicts and casualties? LACK OF ORDER! The moment we are out of order we are out of alignment. Building a throne out of God’s order will always be building a throne for Satan. Church is not your idea. It is and was His idea. It can only be built according to His order. The Church Unusual

Transferring the Legacy & Distinguishing of 2010 Tabernacles– South Africa ******************************************************************************* Shut yourself in and find out – are you in order and aligned with God? A sick church cannot bring healing to the world. Are we doing church because church is what He ahs given us to do? Or are there alternative motives in us?
1. We need to come to the point of truth, know for sure what we are doing is in line with God’s order – if business or church, family or relationship. David did not do anything to undermine the tabernacle of Moses. David just moved worship to another level. The tabernacle that was at Gibeon was the tabernacle David erected. They continued what God had ordained through Moses. ( 1. Chr. 16:37)
2. There is no true worship without sacrifice! Today we have moved to worship without sacrifice. There is no true worship without sacrifice. If you sacrifice truly ultimately you produce worship. There must be a sacrifice of consecration, a deeper level of commitment, Before we understand and can declare His glory to the nations we must know that God has accomplished certain things through our fathers to build a platform we can stand upon. Pride and hardness of heart will not let you go to the harvest others have laboured for. It will not let you receive any inheritance. You may reach what you labour for yet nothing else. And you will labour hard.
1Chronicles 21:25-3- So David gave to Ornan for the place six hundred shekels of gold by
weight. And David built there an altar unto Jehovah, and offered burnt‐offerings and peace‐ offerings, and called upon Jehovah; and he answered him from heaven by fire upon the altar of burnt‐offering. And Jehovah commanded the angel; and he put up his sword again into the sheath thereof. At that time, when David saw that Jehovah had answered him in the threshing‐ floor of Ornan the Jebusite, then he sacrificed there. For the tabernacle of Jehovah, which Moses made in the wilderness, and the altar of burnt‐offering, were at that time in the high place at Gibeon. But David could not go before it to inquire of God; for he was afraid because of the sword of the angel of Jehovah.

1Kings 3:4-5 And the king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there; for that was the great high
place: a thousand burnt-offerings did Solomon offer upon that altar. In Gibeon Jehovah appeared to Solomon in a dream by night; and God said, Ask what I shall give thee.
God met Solomon at the place of sacrifice!! A place David didn’t go to out of fear.
1Kings 3:15 And Solomon awoke; and, behold, it was a dream: and he came to Jerusalem, and stood before the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, and offered up burnt-offerings, and offered peace-offerings, and made a feast to all his servants. Solomon experienced everything in a dream. (he woke up ). We have minored in majors and majored in minors. Let us understand in the spirit and in that spirit of understanding do what He has called us to without fighting each other. God gave types and shadows so that through the consolation of scripture we may find hope. Until the real things appears. Jeremiah 3:14‐16 Return, O backsliding children, Saith Jehovah; for I am a husband unto you: and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion: and I will give you shepherds according to my heart, who shall feed you with knowledge and understanding. And it shall come to pass, when ye are multiplied and increased in the land, in those days, saith Jehovah, they shall say no more, The ark of the covenant of Jehovah; neither shall it come to mind; neither shall they remember it; neither shall they miss it; neither shall it be made any more. When Jesus said ‘it is finished’ and the curtain in the temple broke there was no ark any more behind it. People had become the ark of the Lord on the earth. If you do not know what tabernacle God is building today you will build wrongly. We have no business fighting useless battles. We cannot meddle with issues that are totally irrelevant. Stay with what is important and relevant.

If the conviction comes from the Holy Spirit people are converted. Everything works into His hands. GODS SAID ‘ In the last days I will raise up again the tabernacle of David. ‘ . He is doing this.
2Chronicles 35:1‐3 And Josiah kept a Passover unto Jehovah in Jerusalem: and they killed the
Passover on the fourteenth day of the first month. And he set the priests in their offices, and encouraged them to the service of the house of Jehovah. And he said unto the Levites that taught all Israel, that were holy unto Jehovah, Put the holy ark in the house which Solomon the son of David king of Israel did build; there shall no more be a burden upon your shoulders: now serve Jehovah your God, and his people Israel.
They were not supposed to carry that ark any longer. They were used to it. It gave them prominence and purpose. What are we doing today, doing many things that belong to former times? We show off. God said: I am breaking everything down. The tabernacle of David is not about the ark any longer. God’s emphasis is now character. Except we understand Gods purpose for the church we continue to be frustrated by the people in the church. Neither for us or you and me, but for the benefit of every person and family under heaven.
Acts 15:13‐19 And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying, Brethren, hearken
unto me: Symeon hath rehearsed how first God visited the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name. And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written, After these things I will return, And I will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen; And I will build again the ruins thereof, And I will set it up: That the residue of men may seek after the Lord, And all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, Saith the Lord, who maketh these things known from of old. Wherefore my judgment is, that we trouble not them that from among the Gentiles turn to God;
God is not building the tabernacle of David because he wants to put the ark there. It is not about that. There is something about David that made Him a man after God’s heart. This must be both in you and me if we are ever going to bring the nations to the feet of Jesus Christ. We must locate who and are the people who will proclaim his glory.

Today ministry is all about ‘let us build a city, let us build a tower that reaches to heaven! ‘ The tabernacle that God is building now is not made of wood, it is you and I . A type of David, a man after His heart, who will be God’s elect. Everyone in our homes and ministry must be considered important so that he can carry this very glory of God. If we are ever going to be proclaimers of His glory we are going to live such a live of release! Where do you dwell? Come and se, I am going to dwell in you! I will build my church! The Holy Spirit will come upon you and dwell in you! That is the issue! Raising the proclaimers! Every man made idea that has generated a lot of heat will be exposed. There is a sifting going on:
Amos 9:1-4,9 I saw the Lord standing beside the altar: and he said, Smite the capitals,
that the thresholds may shake; and break them in pieces on the head of all of them; and I will slay the last of them with the sword: there shall not one of them flee away, and there shall not one of them escape. Though they dig into Sheol, thence shall my hand take them; and though they climb up to heaven, thence will I bring them down. And though they hide themselves in the top of Carmel, I will search and take them out thence; and though they be hid from my sight in the bottom of the sea, thence will I command the serpent, and it shall bite them. Amos 9:4 And though they go into captivity before their enemies, thence will I command the sword, and it shall slay them: and I will set mine eyes upon them for evil, and not for good.
Amos 9:9 For, lo, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all the nations, like as grain is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least kernel fall upon the earth. It doesn’t matter where you hide, God will find you. Confidence in our flesh and our own agendas will be found out. If you follow the way of righteousness things will be going slow. You are already a son of God without turning stones into bread. You better know who you are, or you will dig your hand into iniquity! The only reason God gives us sheep is to see if we would be faithful so that He could call us to shepherd a nation! The Church Unusual
Page 19
Transferring the Legacy & Distinguishing of 2010 Tabernacles– South Africa God is looking for a David. David had a heart that kept on seeking God. God testified about Him: I have found David, a man after my heart, who will do what I command him! It was David who said: God, I want to be gatekeeper in your house! Who are the proclaimers of HIS glory? Who will walk like David did?
Psalm 78:67‐72 Moreover he refused the tent of Joseph, And chose not the tribe of Ephraim, But
chose the tribe of Judah, The mount Zion which he loved. And he built his sanctuary like the heights, Like the earth which he hath established for ever. He chose David also his servant, And took him from the sheepfolds: From following the ewes that have their young he brought him, To be the shepherd of Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance. So he was their shepherd according to the integrity of his heart, And guided them by the skilfulness of his hands.
Do you know what God wants to do through this summit? To change city pastors into city elders. Those bringing about change set in order things that are lacking. I will tell you what it means to proclaim: To become a messenger with a message built in.

Lord, give me capacity to receive, retain, and release in time. Psa 78:70 He chose David also his servant, And took him from the sheepfolds: Psa 78:71 From following the ewes that have their young he brought him, To be the shepherd of Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance. Psa 78:72 So he was their shepherd according to the integrity of his heart, And guided them by the skilfulness of his hands. If there is anything lacking in government all over the world today it is integrity. Look at David. Being formed as a shepherd, then taken to shepherd a nation. Psa 78:1 Maschil of Asaph. Give ear, O my people, to my law: Incline your ears to the words of my mouth. Psa 78:2 I will open my mouth in a parable; I will utter dark sayings of old, Psa 78:3 Which we have heard and known, And our fathers have told us. Psa 78:4 We will not hide them from their children, Telling to the generation to come the praises of Jehovah, And his strength, and his wondrous works that he hath done. Psa 78:5 For he established a testimony in Jacob, And appointed a law in Israel, Which he commanded our fathers, That they should make them known to their children; Psa 78:6 That the generation to come might know them, even the children that should be born; Who should arise and tell them to their children, God is interested in trans‐generational impact. What we carry cannot die in and with us. We must transfer it. There is a continuity in God. What the fathers have told us. 1. Why is God interested in continuity? Psa 78:7 That they might set their hope in God, And not forget the works of God, But keep his commandments, Psa 78:8 And might not be as their fathers, A stubborn and rebellious generation, A generation that set not their heart aright, And whose spirit was not stedfast with God. What will else wise happen? Psa 78:9 The children of Ephraim, being armed and carrying bows, Turned back in the day of battle. Psa 78:10 They kept not the covenant of God, And refused to walk in his law; Psa 78:11 And they forgat his doings, And his wondrous works that he had showed them. They didn’t believe God is able to protect them. They turned back. God forbid that after all the equipping we have received we will turn back. What a disappointment for God. Well equipped people turning back. The Church Unusual

Transferring the Legacy & Distinguishing of 2010 Tabernacles– South Africa For that reason God rejected the tabernacle / tent of Joseph: Psa 78:67 Moreover he refused the tent of Joseph, And chose not the tribe of Ephraim, Prayer: Lord, I will not let you down. I will not turn back in fear. I will release in time what you have sown into me. 2. Why did Ephraim turn back? You cannot borrow from the world. You cannot borrow ideas from novelists to run your marriage. You need to go back to God, who invented your marriage. You cannot borrow romantic ideas. Look here: Hos 5:11 Ephraim is oppressed, he is crushed in judgment; because he was content to walk after man's command. He willingly walked by human precepts. Jesus said: The ideas of men and traditions of men invalidate the word of God! Nations do not change with time. They change because they make a decision. Ephraim decided to follow human precepts. Book will not deliver you. Jesus spoke with authority, not as the scribes. The word that doesn’t fall to the ground is the word of God, never any precepts of men. Prayer: Lord, deliver me from the precepts of men. Take that away from men. Any ideas of men, any traditions, set me free. 3. What manner of person is Ephraim? Ephraim is a mixture of righteousness and self made. He is a ‘ cake unturned ‘. Half baked. Hos 7:8 Ephraim, he mixeth himself among the peoples; Ephraim is a cake not turned. Hos 7:9 Strangers have devoured his strength, and he knoweth it not: yea, gray hairs are here and there upon him, and he knoweth it not. Ephraim was growing old but not growing up because of mixture.

Transferring the Legacy & Distinguishing of 2010 Tabernacles– South Africa Hos 7:11 And Ephraim is like a silly dove, without understanding: they call unto Egypt, they go to Assyria. They do everything out of flesh. They go astray Esther was bathed in oil for a whole year to be allowed to go into the presence of the king. Total focus without distraction. Taking all the flesh away. Hos 7:15 Though I have taught and strengthened their arms, yet do they devise mischief against me. Hos 7:16 They return, but not to him that is on high; they are like a deceitful bow; their princes shall fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue: this shall be their derision in the land of Egypt. WHY DO YOU CALL ME GOD AND NOT DO THE THINGS I HAEV COMMANDED YOU ??? The most awful thing happening to Ephraim was that he became successful without having integrity. In a backslidden condition: Hos 12:8 And Ephraim said, Surely I am become rich, I have found me wealth: in all my labors they shall find in me no iniquity that were sin. Deception of material wealth and success. Distraction by accomplishments, achievements, success. Our call is not success, but to fulfil our duty towards destiny. Success ate the soul of Ephraim. Hos 13:12 The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up; his sin is laid up in store.
Hos 13:13 The sorrows of a travailing woman shall come upon him: he is an unwise son; for it is time he should not tarry in the place of the breaking forth of children. Do not allow Ephraim access to the next generation. Do not allow him to transmit that spirit. Hos 13:15 Though he be fruitful among his brethren, an east wind shall come, the breath of Jehovah coming up from the wilderness; and his spring shall become dry, and his fountain shall be dried up: he shall make spoil of the treasure of all goodly vessels.

Hos 14:1-9 O Israel, return unto Jehovah thy God; for thou hast fallen by thine iniquity. Take with you words, and return unto Jehovah: say unto him, Take away all iniquity, and accept that which is good: so will we render as bullocks the offering of our lips. Assyria shall not save us; we will not ride upon horses; neither will we say any more to the work of our hands, Ye are our gods; for in thee the fatherless findeth mercy. I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely; for mine anger is turned away from him. I will be as the dew unto Israel; he shall blossom as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Lebanon. His branches shall spread, and his beauty shall be as the olive-tree, and his smell as Lebanon. They that dwell under his shadow shall return; they shall revive as the grain, and blossom as the vine: the scent thereof shall be as the wine of Lebanon. Ephraim shall say, What have I to do any more with idols? I have answered, and will regard him: I am like a green fir-tree; from me is thy fruit found. Who is wise, that he may understand these things? prudent, that he may know them? for the ways of Jehovah are right, and the just shall walk in them; but transgressors shall fall therein. This applies to all of us? Who is wise – let Him understand.

WE need to give responsibility to the salt – the church that has been given the kingdom mandate, to extend the kingdom of God on the earth. We need to take action. It is essential to earth what we are hearing. To bring down what is coming from Him. We cannot say like Philip did’ Lord, it is not possible. It is too expensive. ‘. We need to receive a clear template from the Lord – how to run, where to run, and what to do. ! We need to find a way how to get everything done step by step. Remember Sunday morning. We are not fighting one move against the other. Those times are over. We will not get involved into that any longer. Remember Jesus who came in, touching the Samaritan woman at the well, and through her bringing all the men of the place across, at the same place where Dina was raped and a whole generation of men was wiped out. Changing what had been taking place, dislodging the powers of hell, and releasing His power into the place. Walk away from the things God doesn’t want you to get involved in. Get God’s dynamic working in you. Allow Him to work His things into your heart. Whatever God is doing must become a well inside us. It needs to go deeper and deeper, touching the bedrock of our being, changing us into Him. Guard what He has been putting into you. Build a wall about it, let it not be distracted, protect it properly, let it flow, and a river of living water will flow. We must contain what is on the inside. We cannot be like broken cisterns, losing again what has been given. God will set blueprints inside our life. Coming out of Egypt, we will have no leadership structure, no infrastructure, non of the necessary things – yet He will supply everything. CHURCH in the throne room manifesting its self down here on earth. Church is the expression of what is taking place in heaven.

Transferring the Legacy & Distinguishing of 2010 Tabernacles– South Africa If God doesn’t work inside of us the NOW season will not manifest. We need to allow Him in. Everything that is holding us back will be broken. We must know and realize that God has not built us in another form, yet has created us in His own likeness. There is a way we can run with this message, being sensible and put precept upon precept, seeing the template clearly in our mind, and moving forward with a clear strategy. We need to put down a very clear foundation. We need to see what is right so clearly that every time we go over the boundary we know and urn back. 1. Why is society declining? 2. How is the process taking place? 3. How can we stop and reverse the process? There will be forerunner. Jesus Himself will confirm them. Be one of those experiencing God and understanding His mandate! Be an agent of change in society. Let there be no more walls, delay, boundaries, limits, . . . . let us get the job done. To change nation is not an impossible task. Not policies but prophecies will carry this nation through. His word! We gathered here for a summit. Not just to listen. Not just to hear. We are here for an assignment. We need to find out what we are supposed to do. That is what you are here for! You will go from here with a clear assignment! Everyone will have a job. You must see the blueprint, seeing it in the light of your assignment so you will fulfill your job.
Decline in society happens because of this seven reasons: 1. Our separation from Him because of sin. Things we do. God’s plan is always men. The moment we separate ourselves God has lost His instrument, his agent of change.
Isa 59:2 but your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, so that he will not hear.

Presence and favor are missing. We are the source for God’s righteousness in a nation. Isa 59:3-4 For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue muttereth wickedness. None sueth in righteousness, and none pleadeth in truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity. 3. In us is internal corruption and decline. If God removes Himself from us the consequence will be internal decline. You must know that what you transact inside your heart will draw heaven. In whatever situation you are in – you can draw heaven. In whatever place of limitation and confinement – as long as you are right in your heart and connect He will draw near. It is never too late. You can like Hannah cry in the temple. Even if people like Eli do not understand you – you can draw GOD. Isa 59:9 Therefore is justice far from us, neither doth righteousness overtake us: we look for light, but, behold, darkness; for brightness, but we walk in obscurity. Isa 59:10 We grope for the wall like the blind; yea, we grope as they that have no eyes: we stumble at noonday as in the twilight; among them that are lusty we are as dead men. Isa 59:11 We roar all like bears, and moan sore like doves: we look for justice, but there is none; for salvation, but it is far off from us. 4. Our blessings and provisions are cut off from us. What needs to come to you is cut off. Isa 59:4 None sueth in righteousness, and none pleadeth in truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity. Isa 59:5 They hatch adders' eggs, and weave the spider's web: he that eateth of their eggs dieth; and that which is crushed breaketh out into a viper. Isa 59:6 Their webs shall not become garments, neither shall they cover themselves with their works: their works are works of iniquity, and the act of violence is in their hands. Isa 59:7 Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; desolation and destruction are in their paths. The Church Unusual

The people around us come into greater corruption. Now it is affecting the people. Seeing this you cannot blame anybody for the decline of the nation. You cannot do that. Getting trapped in the system you will die. The system is declining and collapsing. If you want to go in there you must have been sent by the king of kings and Lords of Lords. The end time church has this mandate, to carry kingdom authority, life and authority! 6. We can become the victims of a collapsing society/system if we are not careful. Look at all the Christians around us walking away from God and their connection with Him. Even the church becomes invaded by the enemy. If we do not push out the sewage it will come in! WE ARE NOT VICTIMS ! God is shaking everything that can be shaken. He will redesign city after city, nation after nation! He will teach us to build what He builds. Rebuilding the devastation of many generations! 7. Every part and domain of society will collapse, giving us an opportunity to redeem it when we step in. The social and economic systems of this world will collapse. Be not afraid of what is collapsing. Rather bother about all the opportunities that will come our way so we can supply what is needed. We need the people necessary to rebuild nations.

When does TRANSFORMATION begin? 1. When God intervenes for the righteous. Until the righteous takes a stand nothing will happen. God wants the righteous and not the wicked to lead. Let the righteous make a stand! Where ever we are – in our daily life, on the streets, in the church, whatever we do! 2. When God finds a man! WE ARE THE MEN! I means WE! ‘the corporate man. This is our assignment together. We cannot interpret according to our personal agenda. It takes us! We have to pull together and understand that we are the corporate men called the body of Christ. The whole team has only one baton! We help each other to run fast, there is no running for one self.
The day God finds out you have changed your vocabulary from I to us you are His man! 3. When God comes in full manifestation. When he manifests in full measure. Full strength. Full wrath. Full emotion. Displaying His arm and sovereign act. Manifesting the breastplate of righteousness. Fully clothed, ready for battle. Coming forth in the power of His name.
When God finds His place in the temple He will deal swiftly with the outside! Isa 59:18 According to their deeds, accordingly he will repay, wrath to his adversaries, recompense to his enemies; to the islands he will repay recompense.
4. When God separates His enemy for judgment. He will flush the enemy our into the open. A whole generation of the wicked will be removed. One by one those pulling evil strings will be taken out by God. There is an execution anointing. Jehu was the executer of God’s word, spoken by Elijah, carried by Elisha, executed by JEHU. A whole generation will ride furiously. This three dimensions will come together. The Church Unusual

Isa 59:21 And as for me, this is my covenant with them, saith Jehovah: my Spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, saith Jehovah, from henceforth and for ever.
Kingdom transformation has already broken out in the nations of the world. He will take the spirit and the word and put it into both offspring and offspring’s offspring. He himself will transfer the word and the spirit. This is the year of the unusual. God will do extraordinary miracles. He will bring many sons unto glory in the house so that we can get ready for Isaiah 60, Matthew 16 and 17.

Transferring the Legacy & Distinguishing of 2010 Tabernacles– South Africa Ps. Bakare What PS. Bank began yesterday, talking about Obed Edom, the Gittite, who became the custodian of the ark of the God of Israel. God forbid we would preach a black or white Gospel. IN you ALL the nations of the earth shall be blessed. This bible is deadly. We don’t know it yet. Did you ever think Jesus would look for a women having been violated by everybody to redeem a whole city? ( the Samaritan woman by the well ) We misrepresent God a lot. That is why our impact in the nations has been little. Let’s go humbly so that God’s glory can be seen. I want to spend time on ObedEdom the Gittite. Oh God, from the very beginning your heart has been on the nations. Our heart has been on ourselves. Ps. Bank:
God continues to unveil His word. We need to connect with what He is doing and saying. Let us be faithful custodians of what He is saying. At the end of the day we must be adding value to all those around us. I am confident by the time is all set and done what Jesus began to build will be exactly what He had in mind. God has no plan B. We are it. No other plan. We have to get it right. If not we will pass the wrong thing to the next generation. Mat 28:18 And Jesus came to them and spake unto them, saying, All authority hath been given unto me in heaven and on earth. Mat 28:19 Go ye therefore, and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit: Mat 28:20 teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I commanded you: and lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.
We must have clear understanding of God’s goal and intent. God said something different in Mark 16. There He was dealing with the quantitative element of the call – the making of converts. Yet if we want to change the nations we can never do that by making converts. We also need to have the qualitative aspect of the job.

Yes, reach everybody as much as you can. However – I am looking at the quality of those you are bringing in. There is a huge difference between a disciple ( who has mastered the life of his master ) and a convert. Converts must be grounded until they become disciples. An element of the word disciple is the word discipline. In discipline are three helpful dimensions / contents we need to be aware of. You must understand discipline if you want to become a disciple: 1. Pain with a purpose. There is a reason for which I am allowing myself to be in this condition. I am in pain because I have a goal. For the joy set before Him HE endured the cross. A painful experience with a purpose, a goal. No pain inflicted because of wanting to destroy somebody, but to be formed. Think about people competing in the Olympics after a year long training. God is not asking you and I to live a life of consecration, holiness, discipline because He wants to take something from us, but because He knows what will be there at the end. Righteousness is not a shortcut. Rather than taking a shortcut we take the pain. It will take us longer to get there, but when we get there God will be there! 2. Focus. You cannot have discipline or be a disciple of any meaningful kind if you do not have focus. Each of us has an assignment within a blueprint. You need to be focused and teach your people to be focused also. Focus means: You know exactly where you are going and do not allow any distraction to take you of that course. Not every meeting is your people. You cannot do things with people God doesn’t connect you with. Be focused. Do not waste your resources in the wrong place. 3. Perseverance. Those three elements come to play when we talk about discipline. David touched everyone wherever he was and went. Let your life be meaningful. Understand this dimension. Why did God leave it up to the church?

Who are we, and what is pour role? You must be challenged by a meeting. You must leave an apostolic summit changed. You cannot attend a conference that is about ‘ getting your stuff, and ‘ how to have more’. We are in another business. Exo 32:19 And it came to pass, as soon as he came nigh unto the camp, that he saw the calf and the dancing: and Moses' anger waxed hot, and he cast the tables out of his hands, and brake them beneath the mount.
1. Time: God cut the stone and wrote on it Exo 34:1 And Jehovah said unto Moses, Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the first: and I will write upon the tables the words that were on the first tables, which thou brakest.
2. God gets Moses involved. Moses has to cut the stone. God and Moses cooperate. God will not do the job himself. He has chosen to do so. He will supply the grace, the unction, the wisdom – yet we will work corporately. Since Adam we have tried to recover from the fall. God will not deal with Satan Himself. He has empowered us and made us His deputies. We are tpo represent Him, wherever we go, whatever proclamation we make. The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof. We cannot fail because God cannot fail. What should be the mindset of that organism called church? Mat 19:11 But he said unto them, Not all men can receive this saying, but they to whom it is given. Mat 19:12 For there are eunuchs, that were so born from their mother's womb: and there are eunuchs, that were made eunuchs by men: and there are eunuchs, that made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.
What exactly is Jesus offering here? He talks about 3 levels of eunuchs. 1. Eunuchs born as such. 2. Eunuchs made by men. 3. Eunuchs that have chosen to be such. The Church Unusual
Page 33
Transferring the Legacy & Distinguishing of 2010 Tabernacles– South Africa
The third level is always the most powerful and most glorious. Eunuchs served as very trusted aids to dignitaries and kings. No personal agendas. By being a eunuch they have demonstrated that they have given away their life. A king wanting an aid for his wife had to be sure about this aid, knowing his wife totally save in the hands of this aid. He would choose a eunuch. The eunuch having been travelled to Jerusalem to find God, returned disappointed, having met an insensitive church not being able to handle him. The church, called by God to reach out, hadn’t gone to Ethiopia. God sent the eunuch to Jerusalem. Because the eunuch (being without own agenda, not running after money ) was considered faithful (able to bring the gospel back to his own country) by God, God sent Philip in his way. This eunuch mindset is about the agenda of the king. Only that mindset can change the nations. I can teach you what I know but I can only impart / produce in you who I am.
Are you going to change your mindset and lifestyle so that everything you do and think is decided by kingdom preference. Count that cost! Understand what it will cost you to change a nation. Jeremiah 38:7-10 Now when Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, a eunuch, who was in the king's house, heard that they had put Jeremiah in the dungeon (the king then sitting in the gate of Benjamin,) Ebed-melech went forth out of the king's house, and spake to the king, saying, My lord the king, these men have done evil in all that they have done to Jeremiah the prophet, whom they have cast into the dungeon; and he is like to die in the place where he is, because of the famine; for there is no more bread in the city. Then the king commanded Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, saying, Take from hence thirty men with thee, and take up Jeremiah the prophet out of the dungeon, before he die.
This eunuch was able to speak on Jeremiah’s behalf because he had nothing to lose. No one agenda. Went into danger by speaking to the King. The Church Unusual

If you are not willing to die to yourself then do not talk about national transformation. I am saying to you: What would you do if it comes to that? Are you willing to lay down the things you like, the things you enjoy, the things of comfort, and for some of us it may even be our life? If we are going to work with a kingdom mindset and accomplish what God has for us then we as a people must live strife free. In Gen. 12. God came to Abraham with promises, blessing him. Then God came back and said basically the same thing to Isaac. Jacob received in gen28:14 the same promise. Look at Jacob, what he did and how he was. Nobody wants to be like he was. At the same time potentially what was in Jacob could be in us. God still planted in him His divine nature in Jacob and made him Israel. Look at Jacobs family: Son sleeping with the father’s wife. Sons killing a whole city. Wife’s competing. A highly dysfunctional family. Still God in time used them to bless all nations of the earth. Gen 37:2 These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brethren; and he was a lad with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father's wives: and Joseph brought the evil report of them unto their father.
Gen 37:11 And his brethren envied him; but his father kept the saying in mind.
Every competitive jealousy unchallenged gets worse !!! This things do not allow the spirit of God to manifest. Joseph stayed with the course. Understanding discipline, staying focused, not allowing his heart to be hardened. The Church Unusual

Why did Joseph not just tell his brothers his name? Why did he play a mouse and cat game? God inspired, even 14 years after what they had done to Joseph, they had to come to a point of acknowledgement of the sinful lifestyle in them. God had to deal with these young men – first with their sin against their brother. Israel with his sons had to be together, all the twelve, in one accord, one mind, corporately – in Egypt to be able to minister rightly. With one voice. We must resolve all our differences. Issues coming up on a day to day basis must be dealt with, if not they will suck both energy and anointing. The Church Unusual

The message I am about to share goes beyond the corruption in the church. It starts when that corruption has been dealt with, and now we are sent into the world to deal with corruption. We need to deal with corruption in the church first. I am envisioning the day and time that is soon upon us that one of us is stepping into a world destroyed by corruption and the fall and deals with it, declaring His glory and manifesting His change. Not so many people in the OT beside just 2 a direct covenant with God. A direct covenant that will impact the world. Only Abraham and David. Even Jesus was called the son of Abraham and David. Abraham – a friend of God and the father of faith! There is a method to this. There is no way you can declare God’s glory to the nations of the earth / bring His glory to the nations except you understand what God did in David. After reading about David you can only conclude that God has favourites. God is not respecter of persons. Every nation, everyone fearing the name of the Lord is acceptable to Him. Ps. 89 was dedicated to celebrate the covenant God had with David. It wasn’t written by David, but by somebody else. It opens with: Psa 89:1 I will sing of the loving kindness of Jehovah for ever: With my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations. Then going on with For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever; Thy faithfulness wilt thou establish in the very heavens. Psa 89:3 I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant: Psa 89:4 Thy seed will I establish for ever, And build up thy throne to all generations. Selah. The Church Unusual

Psa 89:20 I have found David my servant; With my holy oil have I anointed him: Psa 89:21 With whom my hand shall be established; Mine arm also shall strengthen him. Psa 89:22 The enemy shall not exact from him, Nor the son of wickedness afflict him. Psa 89:23 And I will beat down his adversaries before him, And smite them that hate him. Psa 89:24 But my faithfulness and my loving kindness shall be with him; And in my name shall his horn be exalted. Psa 89:25 I will set his hand also on the sea, And his right hand on the rivers. Psa 89:26 He shall cry unto me, Thou art my Father, My God, and the rock of my salvation. Psa 89:27 I also will make him my first-born, The highest of the kings of the earth. Psa 89:28 My loving kindness will I keep for him for evermore; And my covenant shall stand fast with him. Psa 89:29 His seed also will I make to endure for ever, And his throne as the days of heaven. Psa 89:30 If his children forsake my law, And walk not in mine ordinances; Psa 89:31 If they break my statutes, And keep not my commandments; Psa 89:32 Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, And their iniquity with stripes. Psa 89:33 But my loving kindness will I not utterly take from him, Nor suffer my faithfulness to fail. Psa 89:34 My covenant will I not break, Nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips. Psa 89:35 Once have I sworn by my holiness: I will not lie unto David: Psa 89:36 His seed shall endure for ever, And his throne as the sun before me. Psa 89:37 It shall be established for ever as the moon, And as the faithful witness in the sky. Selah. This goes beyond a tent, beyond an arc made of wood. It has to do with David being a mold, put together by God. The first time David appeared to us is in: Rth 4:13 So Boaz took Ruth, and she became his wife; and he went in unto her, and Jehovah gave her conception, and she bare a son. Rth 4:14 And the women said unto Naomi, Blessed be Jehovah, who hath not left thee this day without a near kinsman; and let his name be famous in Israel. Rth 4:15 And he shall be unto thee a restorer of life, and a nourish of your old age, for thy daughter-in-law, who love thee, who is better to thee than seven sons, hath borne him. Rth 4:16 And Naomi took the child, and laid it in her bosom, and became nurse unto it. Rth 4:17 And the women her neighbours gave it a name, saying, There is a son born to Naomi; and they called his name Obed: he is the father of Jesse, the father of David. What manner of man is David? It depends on your point of view. 1. David is the only one in scripture called a man after God’s heart. In relationship to and with God – David is the only one. It was God who said so by himself.

David is mentioned more than any other single character in the New Testament If God’s hand is upon a man and you cannot be his friend – do not make yourself his enemy! 3. David was a prophet, a priest, a king, a poet, a musician, a courageous warrior, a national statesman, displaying unusual courage in battle, in loneliness displaying transparency. When In friendship he was loyal . 4. In leadership he modelled liberty and integrity. Jesse’s blunders: 1. He didn’t have an equal appreciation for all of His children. That what made him deal with some in a preferential manner. 2. He failed to cultivate a mutual type of respect among them. Sibling rivalry is created by not encouraging them to have mutual respect and by not encouraging them in their own grace. What about his sons: a. 1Sa 16:6 And it came to pass, when they were come, that he looked on Eliab, and said, Surely Jehovah's anointed is before him. Eliab means: God is your father ! God refused him. b. 1Saiah 16:8 Then Jesse called Abinadab, and made him pass before Samuel. And he said, Neither hath Jehovah chosen this. Abinadab. This means willingness. It is not of him that wills – it is of God that chooses. God rejected him. c. 1Saiah 16:9 Then Jesse made Shammah to pass by. And he said, Neither hath Jehovah chosen this. Before God Almighty are no illegitimate children, just illegitimate parents!

Very dear to GOD. In what time and season did David live? We need to know. Everything about your past is God’s trainings ground for your future. You are not a failure. Israel was without a true God, without the law, without God spoke to me 2 years ago: You will be thanking me if you are still standing by the end of 2010!!! My prayers are: 1. Lord, have mercy on me and keep me standing. 2. Do not let your fear depart from my heart 3. If my enemies bring me to fall please take me away and do not even explain to anybody. Why did Israel ask for a king after Samuel? They told Samuel: 1. You are old. 2. Your sons are not walking in your ways. 3. Who will fight our battles? 4. We are tired of having an invisible king! Saul became King when he was 40 David was born 10 years after that . The Church Unusual

Transferring the Legacy & Distinguishing of 2010 Tabernacles– South Africa One of the most powerful prayers I have taught the people here is :
Lord, don’t give me what I want 1Sa 13:13 And Samuel said to Saul, Thou hast done foolishly; thou hast not kept the commandment of Jehovah thy God, which he commanded thee: for now would Jehovah have established thy kingdom upon Israel for ever. 1Sa 13:14 But now thy kingdom shall not continue: Jehovah hath sought him a man after his own heart, and Jehovah hath appointed him to be prince over his people, because thou hast not kept that which Jehovah commanded thee. Where did the Lord command David? IT came into David’s heart. He knew what he was called to. There was interaction between God and David nobody else knew about. In the entire bible Abraham is featured in 14 chapters. (13‐25) Joseph 14 chapters. Jacob 11 chapters. Elijah 10 chapters. David had 66 chapters dedicated to his exploits. No other person is mentioned in the NT like him ( 59 references )
There is something about David. Everything you read about the physics of David is only one line? ( good looking ...) God was not dealing with the externalities of David. God using you to change nations has nothing to do with your ability to speak English, with your height, with your beauty, ......... only with what He has done in you.

God’s principle of choice: 1Sa 16:7 But Jehovah said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have rejected him: for Jehovah see not as man see; for man look on the outward appearance, but Jehovah look on the heart.

The culture of Christianity has replaced the culture of Christ in the mind of people. Who sent the twelve spies to go see the land ( Numbers said God sent them, Deut. says the people came to him. ) If you have a pioneering vision that doesn’t translate into a corporate vision . . . . where are you going? What is needful is a heart condition of those we are discipling without competition. The responsibility of fathers I s not to raise sons. It is to make sure that their sons become fathers. Everyone has paid a price. You and I . But what are we buying? Isa 56:3 Neither let the foreigner, that hath joined himself to Jehovah, speak, saying, Jehovah will surely separate me from his people; neither let the eunuch say, Behold, I am a dry tree. Isa 56:4 For thus say Jehovah of the eunuchs that keep my Sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and hold fast my covenant: Isa 56:5 Unto them will I give in my house and within my walls a memorial and a name better than of sons and of daughters; I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off. Isa 56:6 Also the foreigners that join themselves to Jehovah, to minister unto him, and to love the name of Jehovah, to be his servants, every one that keeps the Sabbath from profaning it, and hold fast my covenant; Isa 56:7 even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt-offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for my house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples. Isa 56:8 The Lord Jehovah, who gather the outcasts of Israel, says, Yet will I gather others to him, besides his own that are gathered. There are others god has prepared in the field. They speak differently and smell differently. Die to your own agenda. We have come to do HIS will. Can we please let others be. Can we grow up for a change? Can your son correct you? Can your daughter correct you? May we by His grace raise sons and daughters that are greater than we are. The Church Unusual

When have you last been praying and asking for a nation? Asking for your nation? It is your job to do so. Ask for the nations. Dislocate evil rulers and powers. Take over! You must shift the princes and rulers over your territory. You must fight the battle of the Lord. Get occupied seeking His kingdom and take over your nation. Extend the frontiers of the kingdom. Shut down CNN and TV. You listen to the news of the earth so much so you cannot listen to the news of heaven any longer. Listen to the news of heaven. Listen to His voice. We have seen a new Nigeria. God is just waiting for a person saying ‘ Here I am Lord ! ‘ We will not lose nations to the devil. We will take the nations back. WE are not supposed to lose any grounds to the devil Drop your greed. Drop your covetousness. Stop your desire for material things. Begin to lay hold of the inheritance of the saints in the light. Everything in that kingdom you turn to God will serve what you carry. Your purpose and God’s purpose must be one and the same. Set your heart on what is on God’s heart.
Imagination is the only key given to us to exercise dominion. We must use it rightly. David said: ‘God, said my affection towards your house.’ Towards His house only. Never pray for useless things any longer. Dr. Jonathan David:
Legacy is the sum total of all which God has deposited in to a man in order he give to his generation. The technology is faith, character which is needed for the next generation. God has to make a man like that. The Church Unusual

This conference is going to give to us the technology and the spiritual dimensions into our lives. Timothy was almost locked down by the spirit of timidity. Paul said: Stir up what has been led into you! Stay very focused. God will transfer himself now and continue forever. Our problem is to become defined internally. To become formed properly. Our problem is NOT any material lack. God is going to use us to redefine everything. We cannot turn the church away from its purpose. If we do so we will start using the church and do our own stuff. Don’t! Stop looking for what is not lost. Focus rightly. Do not look for what the heathen are looking for. It starts with you. He designs a pattern in a man, then the nations of the earth will be changed.
Every time a man of god is speaking listen carefully. It is not only the listening but what happens in you through and afterwards. Lord, let your kingdom come. Transplant our spirit and everything you have planted into us into this people. Let what you have done and developed in us be transferred into every village, every city, every nation.
Purposes of the church Mat 16:13 Now when Jesus came into the parts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Who do men say that the Son of man is? Mat 16:14 And they said, Some say John the Baptist; some, Elijah; and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets. Mat 16:15 He saith unto them, But who say ye that I am? Mat 16:16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. Mat 16:17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-Jonah: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father who is in heaven. Mat 16:18 And I also say unto thee, that thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. Mat 16:19 I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

Express heaven on earth. Remember: Church is not just for your needs. We need to transact with God. Be connected to heaven. Have a supernatural dimension. Let heavens authority, resources, word flow. That is how the church must be built. It is not the songs you sing but who you are that brings in Jesus. God responds to you! The power is with us, not with the things we have, nor with numbers or equipment. There is a new day coming when we will be going to unblock heaven. Heaven will flow freely in and through our church.
2. The church is connected to God the father and they are a company of
sons ( therefore called church of the firstborn ). The church will be knowing what the father does, thinks, says and wills. When you move away from the spirit of slavery and inherit the spirit of sonship, choose God’s will. Arrive in His presence and say: do your will
through me! 3.
It’s a place of transformed lives. God transforms people so they’ll become instruments that He can use for the extension. Transformed life needs to be chosen. We need the original church back. The one He gave to us, released to us in the book of acts. The one that is not contemporary.
4.
The church will prevail over the powers of darkness and shut down hell. The operation of everything evil needs to stop. The church needs to deal with this. In heaven it is done, we are continuing the job here on earth. The church is the place where the gates of hell are shut!
5.
The church has been given the keys of the kingdom to operate His job here on earth. To operate heaven here on earth. To open the heavens so that the local people can start responding to what God is saying. As we pray and declare heavens open and things begin to happen. As we speak the accurate word of God hearts will open. If not then it may not be their time. Never compromise.
6.
To manifest Christ in full measure. The saints will come together, and we will be able to comprehend the height, breadth, depth and length of the love of God. Coming together there is the potential of a bringing down of more of God. We must be there, we must connect, we must see this as important. Gathering together we can hold legacy down. We can hold the dimensions of heaven down. What is given to fathers is not lost. By gathering and releasing what is contained the things of God become more defined. Fine‐ tuning as brothers speak together.

To reveal and unveil the wisdom of heaven to this earth, to all mankind. The church becomes the wisdom‐centre of God. People can come from everywhere and inquire of God in the house. That is the church because she is connected to heaven. All resources of heaven should be available in the church. Being the mouthpiece for God. The sound of His voice must be heard. That is what CHURCH IS. Peter connected to the Father.

Mat 17:3 And behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elijah talking with him. Jesus was carrying everything inside. The whole church. He told the disciples: Some of you will not die before you have seen what is inside. He took them on the mountain. Gave them a preview.

This was what Isaiah prophesied, saying ‘ Arise, shine . . . . . . . Straight away the disciples present wanted to capture this and build a tabernacle. Not seeing that the INSIDE was to carry it. By touching men carrying IT people could connect with heaven. Peter showed them that He was the embodiment of the church. WE ARE NOT SUPPOSED to build a tabernacle. We are to be the tabernacle. The manifestation in a body of everything God wants to be on earth. If you pick the frequency things will become accessible to you. The moment you take things given by heaven for yourself you become corrupt. You ask from heaven for the nations. You must receive from heaven, live it and model it and then transfer it with authority. The frameworks or mantles on the saints of old are in the armoury of God. Everything God wants to pour out from heaven has been poured out. Everything is accessible. In the last days all dimensions that have been poured out, formed and shaped on saints of old will be multiplied and given back to the earth out of the armoury of God. The man Christ needs to be formed in us, then what will be given will be according to the measure of manhood / stature that has been established /formed in us. That is the process we are in right now. This legacy is waiting for us. The real stuff is coming. Something real needs to be nurtured in us so we have capacity and accurate pattern in us to receive the legacy in its fullness. 2Pe 1:16 For we did not follow cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty. 2Pe 1:17 For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there was borne such a voice to him by the Majestic Glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased: 2Pe 1:18 and this voice we ourselves heard borne out of heaven, when we were with him in the holy mount. 2Pe 1:19 And we have the word of prophecy made more sure; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day-star arise in your hearts: We have to pay attention to the revelation that God has put inside. We use it to show us the pathway, neither turn left nor right, to guard our pathway, . .. then we will do well. Until the day dawns. The Church Unusual

Ps. Bakare: There is a special session tomorrow at the Citadel Ground. We will break the ground open. 12 years ago Dr. Jonathan David and I met for the first time in London. A brother mentioned each of us to each other. That night I heard him first share what he shared tonight about mantles being formed and then stored in the armoury of God. Eze 34:2 Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and say unto them, even to the shepherds, Thus say the Lord Jehovah: Woe unto the shepherds of Israel that do feed themselves! should not the shepherds feed the sheep? Eze 34:3 Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe you with the wool, ye kill the fatlings; but ye feed not the sheep. Eze 34:4 The diseased have ye not strengthened, neither have ye healed that which was sick, neither have ye bound up that which was broken, neither have ye brought back that which was driven away, neither have ye sought that which was lost; but with force and with rigor have ye ruled over them.
God raised David as a model of a shepherd who could truly shepherd entire nations.
Eze 34:22 therefore will I save my flock, and they shall no more be a prey; and I will judge between sheep and sheep. Eze 34:23 And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, even my servant David; he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd. Eze 34:24 And I, Jehovah, will be their God, and my servant David prince among them; I, Jehovah, have spoken it.
God says: I have put that mould of David as a shepherd in my armoury. When the time comes I will put that mould on my shepherds to shepherd nations. I will establish David over them. The thing I did in David I will do in others also.

Psalm 78 – The Legacy of Fathers These are truths you cannot omit. Without these things you will not succeed in life. This is what God is saying. Without us transferring and transmitting it to the next generation we will not succeed. We can receive a double portion and still lose. Don’t. Psa 78:1 Maschil of Asaph. Give ear, O my people, to my law: Incline your ears to the words of my mouth. Psa 78:2 I will open my mouth in a parable; 1. There is a way to tell. We must find the exact utterance. The right word, dimension, utterance. Find that way to communicate, the ability to speak. The right articulation so we can communicate to this generation. We must be like Peter who received utterance from heaven when speaking to explain what happened at Pentecost. That way God could lay hold of the people Psa 78:2 ........... I will utter dark sayings of old, 2. It must be told accurately without error. Dark sayings, yet not in darkness. Not human wisdom, no worldly wisdom. Error is a spirit. If error is present you cannot tell anything accurately. Prayer : May our hearts be clean and clearer. May the spirit of error leave our hearts and the love of truth come in. Psa 78:3 Which we have heard and known 3. They were told. Somebody must carry that message across. Everybody must be told. Do not hold back what God is speaking to us. This truth must be communicated everywhere. Without this download the next generation will not have it. We cannot be silent in such a time like this. Choose the right kind of company of people around you to translate what has been given by God into your heart into action!! There are many hearts hidden in the crowd who are ready to connect. They will come out as they hear. There will be many who understand. There are many who are ready. The time is now. The season is now. There is no time to hide or dwell in the cave.

Learn to share and raise up a whole generation who will leave what is in your heart. Tell. Prophesy destiny. Tell everything accurately. Do not withhold instruction. God is pursuing us. Receive these things. Let the next generation be accurate. This is what God is speaking today. There is an urgency in this. God is getting close and real. Face to face. Let his encounter change our lives forever. Receive the instruction of the father. Let your nature be aligned with His. Have the grace to be adopted into sonship. Have discipline. Do not lose this moment. Be restored into this measure, do not lose your opportune time. Do not let bitterness come into your heart, if you do you will become the source of contamination. You must want to be changed and transformed. Allow no root of bitterness to rise in your heart. If sons lose the grace to listen to instruction, to be disciplined, to receive new grace from a father .. they are lost. Take the attitude of a true son towards what is spoken. Allow the grace of sonship to come upon you. Psa 78:4 We will not hide them from their children, Telling to the generation to come the praises of Jehovah, And his strength, and his wondrous works that he hath done. 5. We must tell the next generation and not conceal it. The next generation is ready for this. This is the time. Look for that generation in your own church and reach them. Let not the move of God stop with the leadership. Those you work with as your leaders MUST carry what you carry, represent YOU. 6. It is continually told. There are absolutes and convictions of steel. These are the dimensions being transferred. Legacy means a man carrying strong convictions that are also carried by both sons and daughters. Convictions from a man, his thinking patterns and character. The children believe in what has formed and made their father. . You are not prepared to die until you are prepared to live.

Content of what has been told. God has strength to do what He has said. He has spoken it, he will it and has the power to do it. The power to believe. No more asking ‘ how can it be?’. We must have the power to believe that he can and will do what He has said. To say: Let it be according to your word ! He will rise upon us, cover our weaknesses, measure up from what we have to what is necessary ! It is not you trying to make something happen. His word working inside you and finding that you are where you are supposed to be will make you stop trying to make it happen: Concerning fathers: 1. A father teaches what he has established as a testimony himself. Fathers need to teach God’s history! The testimony of God. What has God been saying all along, what is He testifying, what has He established. You must meet the God of the man and not only meet the man of God. Every father must determine: I am going to reveal God and what he has done. 2. A father teaches what has been established as a law of the spirit. Divine protocols, divine rules of engagement. Certain laws the father has walked in. The same word God has given to the father He has also given to His children. Honour. Integrity. Spirit of holiness. Spirit of truth. Love for the truth.

The young generation need to observe what is taking place. How God is working with the father. How the message given affects sleep, time, behaviour, lifestyle, 5. Fathers teach their children to rise to the occasion in their day and time. They have a grace to prepare them for their future. 6. Fathers teach their children to put their confidence and faith in God. 7. Do not become like the fathers who err in the spirit. God can give you a bypass and allow you to do something fresh.

Tell me. There are only a few of them. I will find them out.
Ps. Bank: Yesterday’s message brought some things into view. God is challenging us to change the status quo.
David – a man after God’s heart Act 13:21 And afterward they asked for a king: and God gave unto them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for the space of forty years. Act 13:22 And when he had removed him, he raised up David to be their king; to whom also he bare witness and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after My heart, who shall do all My will. God must have been talking about something specific. Talking about David and saying ‘ who will do all my will’ . Act 13:36 For David, after he had in his own generation served the counsel of God, fell asleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption: David served His own generation. Not only His people. Not only a particular church. He was not localized in His thinking. He served his whole generation. The reason for the council in Jerusalem was the gentile issue. Should they, who do not look like us, who do not behave like us – be treated in what way ?? Act 15:16 After these things I will return, And I will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen; And I will build again the ruins thereof, And I will set it up: Act 15:17 That the residue of men may seek after the Lord, And all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, Act 15:18 Saith the Lord, who maketh these things known from of old. What was it David did that God called Him a man after His heart? That God commanded the tabernacle of David to be built again? What is that tabernacle of David? Not a physical tabernacle – but the spirit and the attitude with which David related to God must come back! The same David eating the showbread. The same David wearing a linen Ephod when he was bringing back the ark. That very David captured the essence of Jesus job description:

This precisely was Jesus job description. Jesus being a light to the gentiles, a salvation to the ends of the earth. Mat 4:12 Now when he heard that John was delivered up, he withdrew into Galilee; Mat 4:13 and leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the borders of Zebulun and Naphtali: Mat 4:14 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying, Mat 4:15 The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, Toward the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles, Jesus ministry began beyond the Jordan among the gentiles. It has always been the desire of God to see the nations come and see the glory of God. That is what David caught way ahead of his time. 1Sa 17:46 This day will Jehovah deliver thee into my hand; and I will smite thee, and take thy head from off thee; and I will give the dead bodies of the host of the Philistines this day unto the birds of the heavens, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel, 1Sa 17:47 and that all this assembly may know that Jehovah saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle is Jehovah's, and he will give you into our hand. Killing Goliath so that ALL THE EARTH SHALL KNOW the glory of God! We need to understand what is driving and motivation David to understand his actions. 1Ch 13:12 And David was afraid of God that day, saying, How shall I bring the ark of God home to me? 1Ch 13:13 So David removed not the ark unto him into the city of David, but carried it aside into the house of Obed-edom the Gittite. 1Ch 13:14 And the ark of God remained with the family of Obed-edom in his house three months: and Jehovah blessed the house of Obed-edom, and all that he had. Why into the house of a GITTITE ? A Gittite was a native of Gath who was a Philistine. An uncircumcised stranger. 2Sa 21:19 And there was again war with the Philistines at Gob; and Elhanan the son of Jaareoregim the Beth-lehemite slew Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver's beam.

Transferring the Legacy & Distinguishing of 2010 Tabernacles– South Africa David, bringing the ark back, having some problems on the way, didn’t think it wrong or dishonouring to God to park the ark in the house of Obed Edom, an enemy of Israel. And Obed Edom was greatly blessed. God’s eyes looks to and fro throughout the entire earth to find a man who’s heart is perfect towards Him. Looking not only in Israel. Not only in the church. Everywhere. Even Peter testified: IN EVERY NATION !! GOD IS NO RESPECTOR OF PERSONS! That is the issue David captured! To see all nations blessed! David was willing to demonstrate that even by parking the ark in Obed Edoms house! And then he even placed Obed Edom among the priests in the house! 2Sa 15:18 And all his servants passed on beside him; and all the Cherethites, and all the Pelethites, and all the Gittites, six hundred men that came after him from Gath, passed on before the king. 2Sa 15:19 Then said the king to Ittai the Gittite, Wherefore goest thou also with us? return, and abide with the king: for thou art a foreigner, and also an exile; return to thine own place. 2Sa 15:20 Whereas thou camest but yesterday, should I this day make thee go up and down with us, seeing I go whither I may? return thou, and take back thy brethren; mercy and truth be with thee. 2Sa 15:21 And Ittai answered the king, and said, As Jehovah liveth, and as my lord the king liveth, surely in what place my lord the king shall be, whether for death or for life, even there also will thy servant be. 2Sa 15:22 And David said to Ittai, Go and pass over. And Ittai the Gittite passed over, and all his men, and all the little ones that were with him. 2Sa 15:23 And all the country wept with a loud voice, and all the people passed over: the king also himself passed over the brook Kidron, and all the people passed over, toward the way of the wilderness.

Mat 11:27 All things have been delivered unto me of my Father: and no one knoweth the Son, save the Father; neither doth any know the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son willeth to reveal him. When was the father revealed to you by the will of Jesus? Gal 1:15 But when it was the good pleasure of God, who separated me, even from my mother's womb, and called me through his grace, Gal 1:16 to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the Gentiles; straightway I conferred not with flesh and blood: Do we have many pictures and papers with information yet without revelation? What have we been doing? Do we have a religious tainted picture of somebody somewhere and think it is God?
Do you know God? If you are part of the future God is bringing forth then this are issues you need to settle: 1. You must hear God accurately 2. You must see God clearly 3. You must obey God promptly 4. You must trust God totally You cannot depend on somebody else who has heard God. You must connect yourself if you want to be a part of the future.

Joh 10:22 And it was the feast of the dedication at Jerusalem: Joh 10:23 it was winter; and Jesus was walking in the temple in Solomon's porch. Joh 10:24 The Jews therefore came round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou hold us in suspense? If thou art the Christ, tell us plainly. Joh 10:25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believe not: the works that I do in my Father's name, these bear witness of me. Joh 10:26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep. Joh 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: You are not OF my sheep – that means there are different sheep. MY SHEEP HEAR MY VOICE AND I KNOW THEM AND THEY FOLLOW ME. Peter, John and Matthew heard HIS VOICE ‘ Follow me’ and followed Him immediately. THEY WERE OF HIS SHEEP. He didn’t say : Follow me and I will give you a house! He said: Follow me and I will make you! 1Co 8:2 If any man think that he know anything, he know not yet as he ought to know; 1Co 8:3 but if any man love God, the same is known by him. We must define what it means to love God. He says: Those who love me keep my commandments. How can we be in rebellion against God and say we know Him? What you think you know will hinder you from being set free and then know really. A lifestyle after God will command others to truly seek God!

Do you know God? Does He know you? Do you really follow to the point of knowing? How much of you does God know? Let’s see the depth of knowledge and intimacy that David had with and about God. Psalm 139:1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. O Jehovah, thou hast searched me, and known me. Psa 139:2 Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising; Thou understandest my thought afar off.

Psa 139:5 Thou hast beset me behind and before, And laid thy hand upon me. Psa 139:6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; It is high, I cannot attain unto it. So David was aware of God searching him. Just thinking of God He knew that God already knew what He was thinking. That is the knowledge he called wonderful. I heard God say to me: I will imprison you in myself so you will not be able to sin against me! Psa 139:7 Whither shall I go from thy Spirit? Or whither shall I flee from thy presence? Psa 139:8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, thou art there. Psa 139:9 If I take the wings of the morning, And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; Psa 139:10 Even there shall thy hand lead me, And thy right hand shall hold me. Psa 139:11 If I say, Surely the darkness shall overwhelm me, And the light about me shall be night; Psa 139:12 Even the darkness hide not from thee, But the night shine as the day: The darkness and the light are both alike to thee. Psa 139:13 For thou didst form my inward parts: Thou didst cover me in my mother's womb. Psa 139:14 I will give thanks unto thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: Wonderful are thy works; And that my soul know right well. Psa 139:15 My frame was not hidden from thee, When I was made in secret, And curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Psa 139:16 My eyes did see mine unformed substance; And in thy book they were all written, Even the days that were ordained for me, When as yet there was none of them. Psa 139:17 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! How great is the sum of them! Psa 139:18 If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: When I awake, I am still with thee. Psa 139:19 Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: Depart from me therefore, ye bloodthirsty men. Psa 139:20 For they speak against thee wickedly, And my enemies take thy name in vain. Psa 139:21 Do not I hate them, O Jehovah, that hate thee? And am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee? Psa 139:22 I hate them with perfect hatred: They are become mine enemies. Psa 139:23 Search me, O God, and know my heart: Try me, and know my thoughts; Psa 139:24 And see if there be any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting.

1Ch 29:26 Now David the son of Jesse reigned over all Israel. 1Ch 29:27 And the time that he reigned over Israel was forty years; seven years reigned he in Hebron, and thirty and three years reigned he in Jerusalem. 1Ch 29:28 And he died in a good old age, full of days, riches, and honour: and Solomon his son reigned in his stead.
David was 30 years when he started reigning. This is God’s testimony. It is only you remembering Bathsheba. Good old age, full of days means still being fully mentally alert. Gen 25:7 And these are the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived, a hundred threescore and fifteen years. Gen 25:8 And Abraham gave up the ghost, and died in a good old age, an old man, and full of years, and was gathered to his people.

To be a person after God’s own heart is to have a life that is in harmony with the Lord. If your heart is after God’s heart your life will be in harmony with Him. What is important to Him will be important to you. What bothers Him will bother you. You love what He loves, you hate what He hates. When He says go right, you go. Stop – you stop. When you are deeply spiritual you have a heart that is sensitive to the things of God 2. Humility I am not talking about a facade. Always saying yes. Pretending when you are boiling on the inside. No. Let’s look at God’s word: Psa 89:20 I have found David my servant; With my holy oil have I anointed him: Psa 78:70 He chose David also his servant, And took him from the sheepfolds: With a servants heart you do as you are told. You serve faithfully and quietly. You obey those in charge. A humble man does what he is told. God resists the proud and gives grace to the humble. Proud men never say ‘ I am sorry’, and never say’ thank you’. A servant does not care who gets the glory. A servant has only one goal: To make the person he serves looks better. The day you show the one you serve in a bad light you have shot yourself in the leg. You do not rise beyond that point 1Sa 18:5 And David went out whithersoever Saul sent him, and behaved himself wisely: and Saul set him over the men of war, and it was good in the sight of all the people, and also in the sight of Saul's servants. 1Sa 18:13 Therefore Saul removed him from him, and made him his captain over a thousand; and he went out and came in before the people. 1Sa 18:14 And David behaved himself wisely in all his ways; and Jehovah was with him.

Didn’t complain. It does not matter what the one you are serving does to you ! Look at what Saul did to David. And how David behaved. NEVER portray the one you are serving in a bad light towards others, whatever happens. Stay humble. A servant does not take advantage of the person he serves. He does not use his relationship to seek for position.
God let’s you see things so that you can make adjustments before it is too late. If you are a humble men then shut your mouth if you have nothing good to say. Whatever you sow you will reap, whatever you plant you harvest. Lord, give me a servant’s heart! 3. Integrity. God is looking for a men who spiritual, honest to the bone and deeply humble. You want to be trusted with much? Where is your integrity? You want to lead? How is your heart? This are only basic requirements to be called into the process of being formed by God so He can use you for national transformation.
All of this was found in David before he fled. This are God’s prequalification requirements. Then He was sent to the king, killing Goliath, serving the king who had been rejected !

Elijah got the Mandate, Elisha nurtured it, Jehu got the power to execute it. Each receives their own specific revelations, runs their share of the race, reaching their destiny. 9. Each generation rises out of a spiritual vacuum but proofs God is real in their day. Each has their own challenges. They will fight it, rise up and shine brightly. 10. Each generation is marked by perversions of the reigning culture and the dominant thought pattern of that day. The reigning culture of today is perverted relationship. ‘ I will go where I am used and needed’ The only way to destroy this is building differently. Having relationship with honour and covenant. People in church are not related, just contributing. Being ready to leave any day. We need to live by a different code of ethics. Show and live a model that is based on righteousness and truth. 11. Each generation must prepare the way for the next generation to receive new truth. Abel was destroyed by Kain. Seth was given to replace him. Then Enosh came, and men started calling on the name of the Lord. We must move others higher, pave the way of God for them. If a generation is selfish, thinking about themselves the whole generations can be lost. 12. Each generation must secure the next generation’s destiny by their obedience. By you being faithful the next generation is set on course. If you are inaccurate in your day the next generation will suffer. 13. Each generation can give birth to a strong generation of overcomers. 14. Each generation must be held together by a sense of divine continuity and destiny. Generations are interconnected. Serving the same God and the same purpose. Being intertwined, being partners in destiny, serving a corporate destiny.

Mar 11:22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. Mar 11:23 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou taken up and cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that what he saith cometh to pass; he shall have it. Mar 11:24 Therefore I say unto you, All things whatsoever ye pray and ask for, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. Before you pray you must believe. You must believe that you have received it inside your heart, then heaven will grant it. Remember: When you have a problem you do not pray. You go to God and find out what He says about it. He speaks and makes things happen. Before you can make things happen He must speak to you. You must embrace before you ever see results, believe it in your heart that you have received it. Asking God He will start a process in you that leads to the solution. Then pray. Have the faith of God. The faith that once was delivered to the apostles. How you believe is more important than what you believe. The process will clean up what is wrong. Let faith rise in your heart. Log onto this kind of faith. The faith of God. This faith cannot fail.

What He has spoken is your ground, your material to work with, your reality in every aspect of your life. Without His word you only have your wish, your idea, your imagination. If He speaks the word there will be no return. You must be very clear that the word proceeding from His mouth comes from the eternal realm to the visible realm. That is why everyone needs to hear the voice of God. You must know ‘ this is what God said. ‘ As long as you keep struggling with what God is saying you cannot start a legacy of faith. If God speaks then it is never His opinion, his idea, . . .. God’s word is God’s word and it alone. Not anything in addition. Nothing else. We must know that what we hear is God. No revelation in different categories. No. You must know it is God. Without any partiality or prejudice in your heart. He who hears this word of mine and acts upon it !!!! Prompt action. No arguing. No hesitation. When God speak to you, you may not understand it. Doesn’t matter. Act upon it like Abraham did, being asked to take Isaac as an offering. You must know a voice from above, not only a noise. Every action in your life must start with the word of God. Not with your need. Not with your lack. With His word. Not your prayer, fasting, or any other performance will make things happen. Do never allow wrong voices to come to you. Shut them down immediately. God’s word is final. You need to come to a point where you decide to not move at all without His word. It is not faith to get into trouble and then calling upon God to bail you out. Find out first what His will is, then follow Him. This must be your life. His word proceeding to you will be the life you live on. It is not about knowing or greater knowledge. It is about life. God said it. God said it. God said it. God said it. God said it. God said it. God said it. God said it. 9. God said it, I believe it. Never stop believing. Never allow anything to intimidate your faith. You have internalized it. It affects your convictions and thinking patterns. It deals with your mind, removing any doubts. You cannot say you believe and then have doubts. The Church Unusual

Transferring the Legacy & Distinguishing of 2010 Tabernacles– South Africa You can still have fear about yourself and your natural limitation, yet God’s word will clean this out. Strongholds and captivating thought patterns will begin to be revealed in your life. The day faith comes in your heart and you act on God’s will a work will be done. Both the spirit of poverty and the fear inside your heart will be broken. He tells you things so when you act and do things something will happen inside your heart. When God speaks let there be no delay to your obedience. God speaks it, everything inside you must say yes, and you act upon it. Let the word spoken find a response in your heart. Do not only take: What you understand What seems good to us What you expect What has to do with your need Say: Here I am, use me, I will go . .. • • • •
You believing it means you allow the Holy Spirit to take you on the course. To allow every fear inside you being broken. To remove every doubt. Do not tell me you believe if you react differently. You believe means you say: Be it done to me according to your word! Doubt is not the devil, it is you! Get yourself out of that limitation, because God’s word is true! Doubt any doubt! Faith means you do not struggle with the word. There is nothing to difficult for god. In God’s mind there is only His word. It will happen. God said it. I believe it. God said it. I believe it. God said it. I believe it. God said it. I believe it. 10. The Holy Spirit confirms it. When you believe it and act on it He will confirm it. Most want the Holy Spirit to confirm it before you believe it. The Holy Spirit cannot confirm your doubt. Keep the order: God said it. I believe it. The Holy Spirit confirms it. The word of God is life. His very life. Born again through the incorruptible seed. Use this word to live! Forget about using it to cater for any needs. Take it to live. Get this bedrock of faith inside your heart. Allow your inside to resonate and conceive!

Be sure you react rightly, internalizing His word God said it. I believe it. The Holy Spirit confirms it. God said it. I believe it. The Holy Spirit confirms it. 11. Satan fears it. He knows you are carrying something inside that is so potent it will change time. Satan fears those who believe. Those having a sure word anchored in their soul. When what He has spoken has become a law inside us. When our reaction towards His word has become a law inside us, we will always say yes and amen. Never use intimidation against your faith. Intimidate intimidation so it will stay away.
God said it. I believe it. The Holy Spirit confirms it. Satan fears it. 12. Your mouth must declare it! The word must have volume, feeling, authority . .. . .Give life to it with your words. Allow the Holy Spirit to launch this word through you. The word will become alive and fresh again.
God said it. I believe it. The Holy Spirit confirms it. Satan fears it. My mouth must declare it 13. Earth will yield to it. Mountains will begin to back off. Circumstances will adjust according to His purpose. Your enemies will be at peace for you. Why? The earth yielded to God. The natural will become swallowed up by the supernatural. We are here to redesign the earth. God said it. I believe it. The Holy Spirit confirms it. Satan fears it. Your mouth must declare it. Earth will yield to it
14. God will fulfil it. He will come down and it will happen exactly as He said. He doesn’t expect you to do what He said. Just believe inside your heart. His time has come because you have gone through the process. It will become a reality in your life.

Transferring the Legacy & Distinguishing of 2010 Tabernacles– South Africa Dr. Jonathan David: It is very vital for us to realize that this is just the beginning. God is putting something sovereignty into our spirit. he is plotting a new course. We must be willing to cut off the old and walk in the new. Isa 59:21 And as for me, this is my covenant with them, saith Jehovah: my Spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, saith Jehovah, from henceforth and for ever. God is giving us a choice in order to make a covenant with us so that he can transfer the spirit and the word. His covenant is a relationship He is calling us into. Not a relationship that allows us access to revelation and power. He wants to put His spirit into our lives Vision A polluted river, ships and boats on it, carrying drugs, all kinds of evil, stolen goods. God said: As it is in the natural so it also has become in the spiritual. My river is polluted. I will arrest everyone who is carrying filthy things in the spirit. Polluted ministries, corrupted people will be cut off. This is the beginning of the end of sin age. Ministries will be exposed. People will be exposed. His spirit will arrest them. Judgement will come in the usage of this river. You will find people in ministry resigning, confessing they do not have what it takes. The terror of God will be in the land. People will refuse to enter the pulpit or pastor churches. There will be fear in the camp. People will be pushed into a place of accountability. God is coming by his rod into the nation of Nigeria. He will raise His rod and His sceptre. I saw desolations that have been for a long time. I saw children and women jumping into the river. God said: I will cause my river to flow. Where ever it will go people will be touched. God will invade His house. There will be people fearing to attend church. God will raise up little children to prophesy against elders. They will prophesy over the things that are going wrong in the lives of people. People will run out of fear. The invasion of heaven is coming. He will appear. The Church Unusual

Fresh air will be breathed for the first time. The breath of God will sweep across this region. Violence will come to an end. God will cut of the power lines of evil people. They will stop creating conflicts, struggle will come to an end. The power line of corruption has been cut already. A river from above will flow into the region. All the negative things will be flushed out. A new Nigeria will be seen. Get ready. God will make a covenant with us that will allow us to redefine everything in future words. Do not allow yourself to be a leaking vessel so the word can be contained in your heart. You must take this word of God into your own life – then you will be redefined. Allow the message and the messenger to become one. You must know exactly what is laying hold of your heart. There is a time of really crying out to God. God will hear the cry of innocent blood crying out from this ground. This year 2010 is a very important year. There is anguish in people’s hearts which will be expressed in prayer now, and heaven will respond. This message will not deliver any people unless it is modelled. People will see your modelling, ask for the word and come to you. They will stay because of what you have done on the ground. You will not have to force any people, they will just come where you are. The presence of God will draw them. If Christian or Muslim, they will listen to everything you say. In their heart they will become part of you and work out their own salvation. God will fill your house. First with righteous people resonating to the message. They also will become carriers of this message. They will see the God who is connected with you. Across this sheepfold there are many who are becoming my sheep The Church Unusual

As you reach out to Him He will give you power over cities. One foot is inside the tent, one outside. The hand of God will come powerfully upon you and give you the wisdom to determine about nations. God will not hide form you what is necessary, even the schemes of wicked people. ......... When I arrived on Saturday en where scheming evil things. Today I saw God dismantling everyone. You will see the shutting down of powers right across the region of Nigeria. You do not have to march again. You have set a precedence. People have taken fire. The people will march. The nation will march towards its own destiny. The whole nation is going to rise. The righteous must take their stand.

Mum Helen: I have never accepted an invitation to speak anywhere. I do not feel in my heart to go anywhere and sow the word. But where there are people whose heart appreciates and values the word of God there I am willing to Sow. I came here to hear what the Holy Spirit has to say to the nations and what He wants us to do. He must give us the wisdom to understand the word He has given to us. What are we supposed to do with this very word? I hope this is the position we take when we come to a conference. That we subject ourselves to the word spoken and ask Him to give us the wisdom and courage to do the right thing with what has been said. I pray that we are such a company of people who is desirous not only to hear but to obey. It is not enough to hear and to understand. We need to walk in what we have understood. God, give me understanding how to walk in the truth that you have spoken to me. Put a body to the word, hands, feet, tongue. Tell me what I must do with the word having been spoken. I need to tune myself to the Spirit of God. Be connected to Him. That is my technology. How much of the word of God did David really know? He walked in His ways, knew Him, did the right things .......yet was not educated, was a poor shepherd, ..................... And prayed: Lord, do not take the Holy Spirit from me! David walked in the dimension of the Holy Spirit before the day of Pentecost. Even as David connected with God, as God spoke to David, connected with David, as David could really understand God . . . . . . I believe David meditated upon God. He didn’t have the bible. He connected with GOD. When I woke up in the morning, what came to my mind : I saw a man carrying a rod, measuring the temple of God. Immediately I got up and went to: Eze 40:4 And the man said unto me, Son of man, behold with my eyes, and hear with my ears, and set thy heart upon all that I shall show thee; for, to the intent that I may show them unto thee, art thou brought hither: declare all that thou see to the house of Israel.

Transferring the Legacy & Distinguishing of 2010 Tabernacles– South Africa Ezekiel saw a vision. He saw the structure of something like a city. The first thing we see this man measuring was the thickness of the wall. The width and height. The strength of the wall. That is what God has predetermined. What is important for Him is HOW STRONG is the city of the living God? Is it a structure that cannot be penetrated by the enemy? What and how are we building ? God say ‘ when I am finished building no enemy will be able to penetrate my city!’ I hope you are building rightly! I hope you fulfil your task in the work by God’s blueprint! Eze 40:6 Then came he unto the gate which look toward the east, and went up the steps thereof: and he measured the threshold of the gate, one reed broad; and the other threshold, one reed broad. Eze 40:7 And every lodge was one reed long, and one reed broad; and the space between the lodges was five cubits; and the threshold of the gate by the porch of the gate toward the house was one reed. Eze 40:8 He measured also the porch of the gate toward the house, one reed. Eze 40:9 Then measured he the porch of the gate, eight cubits; and the posts thereof, two cubits; and the porch of the gate was toward the house. Eze 40:10 And the lodges of the gate eastward were three on this side, and three on that side; they three were of one measure: and the posts had one measure on this side and on that side. When He comes to measure You need to know what He wants 3 feet thick better be three feet thick! God is coming to measure His temple! Eze 42:15 Now when he had made an end of measuring the inner house, he brought me forth by the way of the gate whose prospect is toward the east, and measured it round about. Eze 42:16 He measured on the east side with the measuring reed five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed round about. Eze 42:17 He measured on the north side five hundred reeds with the measuring reed round about. Eze 42:18 He measured on the south side five hundred reeds with the measuring reed. Eze 42:19 He turned about to the west side, and measured five hundred reeds with the measuring reed. Eze 42:20 He measured it on the four sides: it had a wall round about, the length five hundred, and the breadth five hundred, to make a separation between that which was holy and that which was common. When God comes to measure He comes to measure not only the inner court but everything He has ordained to belong to it. Not only the very church but all around that He wants to belong to it. For Him it is important what happens outside the house to the community around the church. The Church Unusual

Transferring the Legacy & Distinguishing of 2010 Tabernacles– South Africa SO: The most important thing God is building is not His local house only. God is revealing another dimension. There is more to reach. In every direction. He wants us to give Him account of whether what we have built has reached what is around! The Temple of God is not only the temple but HIS CITY! Ezekiel 43:1 Afterward he brought me to the gate, even the gate that looketh toward the east. Eze 43:2 And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east: and his voice was like the sound of many waters; and the earth shined with his glory. Is it a fearful thing that God is coming to measure the temple? It depends on what position you are in. If you have built accurately His glory will fill the temple. There is another dimension of His glory still needing to be experienced. Are you crying for more or are you satisfied with what you have experienced already? Ezekiel 43:6 And I heard one speaking unto me out of the house; and a man stood by me. Eze 43:7 And he said unto me, Son of man, this is the place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel for ever. And the house of Israel shall no more defile my holy name, neither they, nor their kings, by their whoredom, and by the dead bodies of their kings in their high places; Eze 43:8 in their setting of their threshold by my threshold, and their door-post beside my door-post, and there was but the wall between me and them; and they have defiled my holy name by their abominations which they have committed: wherefore I have consumed them in mine anger. God will not allow His name to be defiled any longer. There is a threshold of God. He has a pattern, and we have our own program. His doorpost and our doorpost. That is defiling HIS name. The pattern we use to build must be His pattern. Eze 43:10 Thou, son of man, show the house to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities; and let them measure the pattern. Eze 43:11 And if they be ashamed of all that they have done, make known unto them the form of the house, and the fashion thereof, and the egresses thereof, and the entrances thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the laws thereof; and write it in their sight; that they may keep the whole form thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and do them. Those who are found lacking and are repentant the right pattern will be shown. We need to show them the right pattern in detail, so they can adjust and be part of a house in His design.

Transferring the Legacy & Distinguishing of 2010 Tabernacles– South Africa Heb 6:1 Wherefore leaving the doctrine of the first principles of Christ, let us press on unto perfection; not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, Heb 6:2 of the teaching of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. One of the last manifestations of God will be Him as a righteous judge. Not knowing Him it can be fearful to know Him as a judge. Yet knowing Him He is not frightening as a judge. He is the judge. 1Ch 16:33 Then shall the trees of the wood sing for joy before Jehovah; For he cometh to judge the earth. It is a joyful thing to see Him coming to judge. All the earth will rejoice. He stands for truth and righteousness. He represents goodness, He is love. What needs to happen so that He can come? God has to raise up His church to stand together with Him and for Him. The church must stand beside him, stretch forth His sceptre. God is waiting for us to come into that place. God is waiting for His David’s to arise. Rising up, taking their place as rulers, representing the people. Jer 23:5 Behold, the days come, said Jehovah, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and he shall reign as king and deal wisely, and shall execute justice and righteousness in the land. Jer 23:6 In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely; and this is his name whereby he shall be called: Jehovah our righteousness. Jer 23:7 Therefore, behold, the days come, said Jehovah, that they shall no more say, As Jehovah live, who brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt; Jer 23:8 but, As Jehovah live, who brought up and who led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all the countries whither I had driven them. And they shall dwell in their own land. 1Ch 16:14 He is Jehovah our God; His judgments are in all the earth. 1Ch 16:15 Remember his covenant forever, The word which he commanded to a thousand generations, 1Ch 16:16 The covenant which he made with Abraham, And his oath unto Isaac, 1Ch 16:17 And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a statute, To Israel for an everlasting covenant, 1Ch 16:18 Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, The lot of your inheritance; Do we know that God has given us an inheritance? Are we aware of our lot of inheritance from Him? By covenant to those that are truly children of covenant today. The Church Unusual

His reason for coming to measure the temple is because His judgment is about to come. He measures if what has been built is according to His released pattern. If it is not found according to the pattern: God will have to react. What is not according to His plan must be demolished. There will be those who will be approved. There will also be those needing to make adjustments. The Church Unusual
