The Final Words of Revelation

And I saw the copper on the side of the road with his radar pointing at my car and I said, hello brother, I'm doing 59 in a 60 zone. You cannot book me. Accepted in the church, rejected by the church, for me it's the same.

Amen to that, what a powerful name it is. There is no other name in whom salvation and redemption were made possible except the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Jesus Christ will always be the one and only because simply he is the true divine God revealed in the flesh, the one who created us all, created heavens and earth, all both realms, physical, tangible and spiritual.

He is the only way, the truth and the life. He is the alpha and the omega. He is the first and the last.

He's the beginning and the end. He is the life and the resurrection. He is everything you ever need.

And he is the only true faithful, loyal, holy companion, true friend that you could ever find and come across. Jesus Christ is the irreplaceable and he is the true divine God who was revealed in the flesh. So he is the incomprehensible.

We can never fully understand him, but all we can do, accept him as he is and as every word that is uttered from his holy mouth, it is nothing but the truth. Believe in it, trust in it, and you will see the amazing God being revealed in your life. You will never regret the moment you say to Jesus Christ, yes, I do.

I want you, Lord. You will never regret it because you will never, ever, ever find anyone that comes anywhere near the one and only Jesus Christ of Nazareth. The only true God.

You won't find anyone else. Trust me, you won't. He's the only one.

We thank the Lord. Amen. Come on, where is the amen? Come on, louder.

That's the way. We come to an end of the book of Revelation today. God willing, unless I speak for too long and then I'll leave it for another week.

So we are reading from Revelation chapter 22 and verses 16 to 21 inclusive, which is the end of the chapter and the end of the book of Revelation. Revelation is 22 chapters, took three years. Book of Genesis is 50 chapters.

If we were to do it on a weekly basis, nonstop, it will take us at least nine years to finish. That's Genesis. Then you have Exodus.

Then you have Leviticus. Then you have Numbers. Then you have Deuteronomy.

And then Joshua. So I will see you in the next life. And for eternities to come, I will be preaching in heaven.

No, no, I can't preach when the true master and the true teacher of all is standing there talking to all of us. I will be put to shame to talk when my Jesus is present. Amen.

Amen. All glory to his holy and mighty name. So Revelation 22 verses 16 to 21.

Here we go. I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, the bright and morning star and the spirit and the bride say come and let him who hears say come and let him who thirsts come whoever desires let him take the water of life freely for I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book if anyone adds to these things God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy God shall take away his part from the book of life from the holy city and from the things which are written in this book he who testifies to these things surely I am coming quickly amen even so come Lord Jesus the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all amen and all glory be to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ forever and ever amen all right so the last chapter and the end of book of Revelation verse 16 I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify to you these things in the churches when we read in Revelation chapter 1 the very beginning of the book of Revelation chapter 1 verse 9 it says I, John, the beginning of Revelation I, John, who is the disciple of Christ but at the end of Revelation I, Jesus, no longer John because the very first verse of chapter 1 of Revelation the book of Revelation of Jesus Christ this book belongs to the Lord Jesus it is his own he wrote it he is the author of it but out of love and mercy gave it to his angel and commanded his angel to give it to his beloved the disciple John and then John sent it to their seven churches in Asia minor current Turkey in Asia minor but at the end of the book the Lord Jesus reminds John the beloved and all of us I'm the author it is not John so I say to you at the end I, Jesus, now no more John is talking it is the Lord himself I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify to you these things in the churches which churches the ones we studied and went through in Revelation chapter 2 and 3 the seven churches that began with Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamos, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea the seven churches in Asia minor the Lord says I sent my angel to testify to all the seven churches in Asia minor Ephesus the beloved Smyrna the bitter one Pergamos the one I entered with a matrimonial bond Thyatira a stage where Christians at one stage started acting toward one another meaning they started faking their faith and they started faking the way they believe in the Lord Jesus just like those who go on the stage and act the actors are not the real people they've taken a role that is not theirs and it's only temporary the Lord said don't ever be a theater you better be honest and true to yourself and then Sardis the the selected group a selected group that said to themselves we hold the truth and I don't want to go into too much details and then Philadelphia Phallos Delphos brotherly love and by the way these names are all of Greek origin all Greek origin Philadelphia brotherly love and Laodicea Laodicea means the rebellious nation the beginning is Ephesus the beloved but at the end Laodicea Christians walking away from Christ even though they are seven but we said about this they are not seven churches because the Lord only has one bride to him and that bride is the church so the church is one and one only but this beloved church the bride of Christ was going to go through seven stages till the very end now if you ask what stage are we at in the 21st century we are at the stage of Philadelphia and Laodicea there is brotherly love but at the same time there is Christians veering off the road and walking away from Christ at the same time you look on these social media platforms so many people talk about the Lord Jesus there is this brotherly love happening throughout the world but at the same time there is people walking away from the Lord from within the church at the same time we are at the final stage before the coming of the Messiah I Jesus have sent my angel to testify to you these things in the churches then he goes on the Lord and says I am the root and the offspring of David I am the root and the offspring of David King David the one who wrote the Psalms about a thousand years prior to the coming of the Messiah I am the root of David and I am the offspring of David the root of David I am the divine the offspring of David I am the perfect man I am the perfect God the root of David and I am the perfect man the offspring of David in my divinity I am David's root meaning I am his creator I am his foundation roots are the foundation to everything so in my divinity I Jesus Christ I am the God of David the creator of David but in my humanity I am the offspring of David because I descend from the house of David I come from the tribe of Judah which is the house of David I was born in Bethlehem the city of David so in my humanity I come from the house of David in my divinity I am the root the creator and the God of David and King David himself said it in his psalm number 110 verse 1 the Lord said to my Lord come up and sit at my right hand till I put your enemies as your footstool the Lord said to my Lord King David is prophesying the Lord said to my Lord I David who is the Lord that said God the Father who is my Lord King David who is the Lord of David God the Son Jesus Christ of Nazareth so God the Father the Lord said to my Lord Jesus Christ come up and sit at my right hand when he went after resurrection ascended to heaven and sat at the right hand of the Father and he said till I put your enemies as your footstool so the Lord comes back and says if David called me Lord then how can I be his son I am his son in my humanity but I am his Lord in my divinity son as the offspring Lord and God as the root of David please forgive me my voice my throat is almost finishing the chapter is finishing the book of revelation is finishing and my throat is finishing as well so please pray for me for me to last throughout this evening continues and the Lord says the the bright and morning star the bright and morning star amazing when you get up early morning before dawn hits the horizon you will see one massive star on its own and it's very big bigger than a normal star that you will see throughout the night this one comes out at the very very early morning before dawn breaks the horizons you will see a big massive star and only few minutes after the star's appearance the sun's light starts appearing he says I am the bright and morning star in the book of Malachi which is the last prophet of the old testament in chapter 4 verse 2 Malachi is prophesying about the Lord Jesus he says he calls him the son of righteousness and healing in his wings he refers to the Lord Jesus as the son s-u-n the son that rises every morning he is the son of righteousness and healing in his wings well the Lord Jesus is the son s-u-n and he is the morning star son as the son he is the judge of the world and as the morning star he is the bride to his beloved church the the the bride he is the groom to the bride and here he is saying I am the bright and morning star meaning when I come as the morning star I'm coming to take you home but when I come as the s-u-n as the sun I am coming to judge the whole world when I come as the sun no one will escape my wrath and my judgment because whoever comes to my judgment will be found guilty for nobody can say to God I did not sin everybody is a sinner so as the s-u-n son I'm the judge but as the morning star I'm the heavenly groom coming to take my beloved bride home once and for all so in the end of the book of revelation the Lord is coming with his mercy as the heavenly groom is coming to his own and saying I'm coming to you as the morning star to take you before the sun rises and judges the world I'll take you before judgment reaches you why because since you accepted me as Lord and Savior since you walked faithfully and loyally and followed my footsteps I will come as the morning star but those who rejected me I will come as the s-u-n the sun to judge I am the bright and morning star verse 17 and the spirit and the bride say come and let him who hears say come and the spirit and the bride say come who is the bride the church now who is the spirit the holy spirit who is dwelling in the church now the holy spirit so in here he didn't say and Jesus and the bride said come no the spirit and the bride said come the spirit holy spirit the bride the church both of them are saying come come to who Jesus Christ the holy spirit and the bride are saying to the Lord Jesus please come and when you say to somebody come you want him to come quickly you want him you want you want that person to come urgently and why would you call someone to come quickly for one reason because you miss them and why do you miss them for one reason because you love them because you love them that's why you call them to come quickly my beloved when you read in book in the book of acts 17 28 it talks about the holy spirit and it says in him meaning the holy spirit in him we live in him we move in him we exist three things in the holy spirit we live in the holy spirit we move in the holy spirit we exist ever since the Lord Jesus went up to heaven after resurrection he ascended to heaven and sat at the right hand of the father the moment the Lord sat at the right hand of the father 10 days later he sent the holy spirit to dwell in us i.e. the church so when did the holy spirit descend and dwelt in us on Pentecost the 50th day where the church of Christ of the new testament was born ever since the 50th day till the Lord comes and takes his bride without a blemish without a stain perfect and bring her into the father's house who are we living in moving in and existing in the holy spirit not Jesus but the most name we invoke in our prayers in our requests is the Lord Jesus poor holy spirit is not mentioned that often every time we say the Lord's prayer our father who art in heaven we mention the father's name and then Lord Jesus please come Lord save me Lord I need you Lord Lord Lord Lord and the holy spirit is waiting for his name to be invoked we don't invoke him that much we don't say holy spirit come and fill me with you come and take me to the Lord Jesus we don't use his name poor thing we need to get into this rhythm where we start using and invoking the name of the third person of the holy trinity i.e the holy spirit start remembering the holy spirit in your prayers because it's the one who's going to take you to Jesus Christ he's the only one he's going to take you to the Lord Jesus so the spirit holy spirit and the and the bride the church are saying to Jesus come come quickly and the holy spirit we live and the holy spirit we move and the holy spirit we exist and the holy spirit we live we were all dead in sin the Lord Jesus washed us with his precious blood and gave us life and that life he instilled his holy spirit his spirit in us so the holy spirit is the source of life so the holy spirit gave us first life after giving you life you become alive the moment you're alive then you are able to move if you're dead you can't move you need to be alive in order to move the holy spirit gave me life through Jesus Christ of Nazareth and when i was revived and giving that life then i was able to move and in the holy spirit i will exist that's for the next life i will exist in him for eternities i live i move on earth i exist in heaven and the holy spirit the one who's instill me in God's kingdom for eternities to come is the holy spirit we need to invoke this holy name more often in our prayers so the spirit which is the holy spirit and the bride say come and let him who hears say come John is referring to himself and let him who he's who heard these words John the beloved and who is hearing these words us the church the believers whoever he's these words all of us we should say alongside with the holy spirit to Jesus Christ please come and come quickly because i need you desperately Lord i miss you desperately Lord i love you desperately Lord i can't live any longer without you Lord please come and make it quick and let him who thirsts come first here my beloved symbolizes everything we lack and everything we need you see when you are thirsty what does that mean you are lacking water you are in need of water so the word thirst here symbolizes everything we need and everything we lack and the moment we lack things we begin searching for them looking for them the Lord is saying what are you thirsting for what are your thirsts are you thirsty for love are you thirsty for money are you thirsty for fame are you thirsty for power are you thirsty to be seen to be known are you thirsty to read the holy bible more are you thirsty to go to the church more are you thirsty to be in everything that has to do with Christ more are you thirsty to know the Lord more are you thirsty to understand the Lord more what are you thirsty for whatever you are thirsty for the Lord is saying i am the only one that can quench your thirst i'm the only one when we become thirsty for certain things and we start searching for them our way seeking them our way we will always remain thirsty and we will die thirsty let's say i seeked power i seeked fame i seeked wealth and i went after it and i tried everything under the sun to gain that power that fame and that wealth and i did it and i achieved it but at the end i died what did i do nothing i died thirsty because whatever i achieved i was not able to take it with me but when the Lord gives when the Lord quenches you will never thirst ever again and this is what the Lord Jesus said exactly to the Samaritan woman where we read this narrative in the gospel according to Saint John chapter 4 this Samaritan woman comes searching for water and then she refers to the well where that belonged to our father Jacob the Lord said you pull water out of this well you will thirst again but the water i give you you will thirst no more because i will give you the living water but the more you draw from this well you will keep on being thirsty and you will keep on coming back because the water of the well comes from below but the water i give Jesus Christ come from above and whatever comes from above is everlasting but whatever comes from below is only temporal is only temporal good for nothing the Lord says blessed is the soul that thirsts for me i Jesus Christ of Nazareth if you thirst for me i will quench you forever and that's why he continues and says whoever desires let him take the water of life freely because the water i give as the Lord said to the Samaritan woman i give you living waters and what is the living water my word the holy bible the Lord says thirst for my word thirst for my word read my word drink it absorb it let it go in every single fiber of your entire being let it quench every thirst that is in your entire being be equipped and embedded in my word because when you are embedded in my word my word is the everlasting living waters when you drink it you will never ever thirst again my word is the living water and if you desire it come and take it freely because i gave it to you for free i did not charge you for it i gave it when i sacrificed my life on the cross my word manifested and was made possible within to be within your own reach when i died on the cross i paid the price for it and i gave it for free but it took my life on the cross for you to receive it for free honor it respect it read it and be familiar with my word because every time you fall into a mischief every time you fall into some troublesome situations recite my words and my words will quench your thirst and give you everlasting life i will bring you out of your trouble if you trust and believe in every word that is uttered from my mouth i jesus christ of nazareth which is the mouth of god verse 18 for i testify to everyone who he is who is testifying the lord the lord jesus is talking all this it is him for i testify and what is the testimony of the lord here pay attention very dangerous pay attention to the testimony of the lord he says for i testify to everyone who he's the words of the prophecy of this book and when the lord is saying the prophecy of this book he doesn't mean the book of revelation only he means the entire holy bible from cover to cover from genesis to revelation all of this book is my word and my word is prophecy to you for i testify to everyone who he's the words of the entire holy bible of the prophecy of this book and this is the testimony of the lord jesus if anyone adds to these things god will add to him the plagues that are written in this book and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy god shall take away his part from the book of life from the holy city and from the things which are written in this book very scary testimony and when the lord is saying i testify meaning every word i said will come true every word is written is the truth and every prophecy i prophesied will come into wishing nothing i said will go by unless it is fulfilled heaven and earth shall pass by but one dot and one letter from my word shall not pass by until it is all fulfilled my beloved therefore when i speak you need to be very very careful when i speak you need to be attentive you need to adhere you need to be submissive because if you add to my words god god's wrath will come upon you and if you subtract from my words your name will be wiped from the book of life from the holy city the heavenly jerusalem the kingdom of god and from the prophecy of this very book all the blessings i've i've given all the blessings i promised you will not receive if you subtract but if you add to my words the wrath of god will come upon you now he's a question to all of us who added to the word of god and who subtracted from the word of god if you tell me i'll cook you red rice a syrian baby who added to the word of god and who subtracted from the word of god two one our mother eve second satan our mother eve added to the word of god satan subtracted took away from the word of god now when god came to adam and said to adam from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil do not eat god said to adam from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil do not eat when our mother eve was walking alone in the garden of eden satan came in the form of a serpent and whispered in the ease of our mother eve and said did god truly say don't eat from this tree she said yes god said don't eat don't touch me god said do not eat only god never said do not touch so where did he get this word from your own head you added to the word of god if you add to the word of god the wrath of god will come upon you to every beloved daughter of mine my beloved daughter when the time comes to give birth do you laugh are you happy or are you screaming from pain and agony that's the wrath of god you give birth with pain could god have made birth be easy and with no pain yes but you add it to the word of god every word is said in this book is the truth so don't take it lightly take it seriously because if you play with it you will hurt yourself you add to the word of god the wrath of god will come upon you our mother eve said yeah god said don't touch and don't eat but poor god he only said don't eat he didn't he didn't say don't touch don't add don't add to the word of god now we come to satan he subtracted from the word of god did he say now satan is whispering in in eve's ear did he did god really say if you eat from it you will die he said yes he said trust me you will never die you will not die trust me but you will you will know what is good and what is evil that's what will happen to you you will know what is good and what is evil but you will not die but god said if you eat you will die satan said you will not die he subtracted from the word of god the name of satan was removed from the book of life from the holy city the kingdom of god and from every prophecy and every blessing that is mentioned in this book satan will never make it to god's kingdom ever ever again he's dead forever if you subtract your name will be wiped from the book of life satan who was an angel before got wiped from heaven from everything because he subtracted so now my beloveds and everybody's hearing here don't add don't subtract when you come to talk about the lord jesus and this is my out of love and humility i invite you all to come back to the apostolic church don't teach any foreign teachings don't teach any foreign teachings when the lord says this bread is my body and this wine is my blood don't say it's not because every word the lord says is the truth if you add and subtract if you add the wrath of god will come upon you if you subtract your name will be wiped from the book of life one thing about the lord jesus he's got a beautiful sense of humor but he never jokes he doesn't joke he is always serious but with a nice gesture because he's god he can't joke everything is accounted for and everything he is responsible for whatever he says he is now responsible for whatever he says he is held liable for whatever he says that's why god doesn't talk much god is infinite until he talks that's a bit of a philosophy there for you god is infinite until he talks because the moment he talks he is now limited to what he says in the sense of he must fulfill what he says but until he speaks he is infinite the moment he speaks he's limited to what he says because he must do it otherwise he's not god so therefore my beloved god will never joke god is always serious but he's got a great sense of humor at the same time amazing in every way in every form of shape lord is so satan poor thing he subtracted from the word of god his name was wiped from heaven from the book of life from everything he who testifies to these things surely i'm coming quickly he who testifies to these things says surely i'm coming quickly who testifies to these things the lord jesus since the lord jesus is the one who testifies to all these things every word written in the entire holy bible the lord is testifying of since he is the one who's testifying he's saying i'm coming quickly i'm coming quickly in verse 20 is the reply of the lord jesus to the holy spirit and the bride in verse 17 the spirit and the bride say come and the lord in verse 20 says since you asked me to come i'm coming quickly i'm coming quickly because my beloved love is a two-way street if love happens to be a one-way street is a selfish love therefore it is fake it is fake don't call this love anymore it is a selfish love which is no love at all true love which is the only love in existence the true love must be a two-way street if you don't long for the one you love and if the one who loves you does not long to come quickly to see you then it's not a genuine love if you don't long for the one you love that you want him to come quickly that's no love and if the one who's coming doesn't come quickly then that is no love either see it's got to come both ways when i call the lord and i say lord i need you desperately please come now the lord comes now because his love for me is genuine and he taught me how to love him back in a genuine way now the question is to all of us here my beloveds for all of us who is your love in this world in this life some people might say elizabeth john some people might say my business some people might say my ferrari some people say my looks my wealth my name my fame what is your what is and who is your love as a christian we should have only one love and that is the lord jesus and through the lord we love everyone else if you love anyone outside of the lord jesus is not a genuine love because there is no other source where love is found to be the truth all except in jesus christ of nazareth he is the only source where love is genuine so unless you go through that source through that channel through that way the love is fake and since it's fake it will not last no matter what everything will fade away and disappear only one will remain forever jesus christ of nazareth who is god revealed in the flesh who happens to be love so when we are focused on the lord jesus when we make him our true love then i need to long for him lord i miss you lord i need you lord i'm searching for you everywhere please come don't leave me alone i feel so lonely i feel so alone when you go quiet on me lord jesus i wanted to say something but i don't want to scare you and i said i'll put it in this way don't ever and i'm saying it out of love and humility don't ever put anything nor anyone before the lord jesus don't ever do that if you do that you will lose that thing guaranteed i'll say it again don't ever put anything nor anyone before the lord jesus and if you do that and insist on it you will lose that thing that you put before the lord you know why because the lord naturally is number one he doesn't need to work for it he doesn't need to beg for it he doesn't need to make it happen it just naturally is he will always be the first and the last he will always be the alpha and the omega he will always be the beginning and the end you put anyone before the beginning one work you put anyone before the alpha one work you put anyone before the first there is no one before the first because the first comes naturally first the a comes naturally first and the beginning comes naturally first one work actually i'll say it Our father Abraham learned this lesson the hard way, learned this very lesson the hard way, thousands of years ago.

What was the lesson? God came to our father Abraham, his name was Abram. You see when you go back to the original text, Hebrew or Syriac, Aramaic, you'll understand the meaning of the name and the component of the name. You'll understand it much more clearer than when you read it in English or in Arabic or in any other language, because that's how it was in the original text.

So when you go to our father Abraham who was Abram at the time when he was still in Babylon, Mesopotamia, Iraq, where I come from, God went to Abram and he said, get up, leave your family, leave your country, leave your hometown and come and follow me. I will lead you, I'll take you to the land where it brings forth honey and milk, milk and honey. I'll bring you to the promised land.

Abram got up, believed in the voice he heard, he believed in just hearing the voice, he trusted that this voice is of God's. What was Abram's mistake? He went to his dad, he said, dad I heard a voice the other day and I believe it's the voice of God, the true living God and he said to me, leave your home, leave your family and leave your land, leave your country and follow me, I'll take you to the promised land. So dad, I came to tell you I'm gonna leave but I couldn't leave without letting you know.

Would you like to come with me dad? And dad said, that's what a son, a true son is all about. Well done son, look how much you love your dad. Good on you mate, tip-top so on.

Thank you son for letting me know, let's go. And then Abram adds to it, he said, dad how about Lut, your brother's son? I'm sorry, how about Lut, my nephew Abram, your grandchild? So Lut was Abram's nephew. He said, dad we can't leave Lut, why? Because his father died.

So Abram's brother was dead at the time. So his dad died and he is now alone, if we leave him he's gonna be an orphan, no father, no mother. I don't have a son, Abram was married, I don't have a son, so I'll make him my son, I'll adopt him as my own son.

There is no difference between an uncle and a father, the blood is too close, no difference. I'm his uncle, therefore I'm his father. Since father, biological father is dead, then I become his father.

Abram's father said, now I love you twice more. He leaves with his family, with his dad, with his nephew and they go. The Lord God said to Abram, get up and follow me.

He took 70 families with him. They come to a place on the border of Jordan and Israel. God makes Abram and all his family to stay in that place for 15 years.

They did not move because God did not order him, but God was going to take him to the promised land. That was not definitely the promised land, wasn't, but God made him stay 15 years. You know why? Because God waited for Abram's dad to die and be buried.

When the moment Abram's father died and was buried in that place, the second day God came to Abram and said, move, come now, after 15 years. And then they went to another place and then Abram had his own shepherds and his own flock. Lut had his own shepherds and his own flock.

And one day, the flock of Abram and the flock of Lut mixed together and the shepherds started fighting against each other saying, this is my land, this is my land, this is my territory, this is my territory. Abram came to Lut and he said, look, we are family. We should never let strangers come between us and separate us.

And this is a signal to all of us, don't ever let strangers come between family members. And separate them. My son, don't ever let your friends separate you from your brother and your sister.

My daughter, don't ever let your friends separate you from your dad, from your mom, from your siblings, because they are strangers when it comes to your own family. Don't ever do that. Family comes first.

So Abram called Lut being the uncle, the oldest. He said, look, we are family, don't let strangers come between us. Therefore, I'll give you, Lut, the first preference.

Look around and choose a land and God be with you. Lut looked around and his eyes fell on this green lush land, waters, rivers of waters gushing through it. He said, this land is going to be good for me, for my family, and for my flock.

He goes there and it ended up being Sodom and Gomorrah. LGBTQRHTU. Sodom and Gomorrah.

Lut got separated from Abram. It was then and then only God took Abram to the promised land. But it took many years.

It would have taken a few weeks for Abram to get to the promised land. It took years and years. Why? Because Abram did not adhere fully to the voice of God when he said to him, you, Abram, follow me.

Don't bring me the family. You put dad before me, I'll take him. You put your nephew before me, I'll take him.

You put anyone before me, I'll take. Until you make me, I, God, the first and the last in your life. You put God first, he will give you everything, family, and everything the family needs.

It's not that God has taken the family when you are putting that family before him. No, but the protection, the blessings are gone. You cannot protect your family as a man without God.

So you need him first in order to protect you. If you put yourself before him, the Lord says, well, I'm not the protector you are. So I'll leave you to it.

And let me see what you're going to do. Before you blink your eyes, my son, Satan would have devoured you and your family with you. Only one who overcame Satan is Jesus Christ of Nazareth, period.

You can't fight unless you are embedded in Christ. And to be embedded, put him first, always. You can't do it, ask for his help.

Lord, I'm weak. Please give me the strength, the wisdom, the courage, the grace. Give me, give me, give me whatever I need so I can always make you first, Lord, and I'll be last.

You lead, I follow, Lord Jesus. And he's saying, he who testifies to these things says, surely I'm coming quickly. Why is the Lord Jesus coming quickly? Because he loves us.

He is the heavenly groom, and he cannot wait to be with his beloved bride, which is the church. When the couple stand before the holy altar and the priesthood rank, the groom can't wait for the priest to be finished. Come on, Father.

And if it's the bishop, Bishop Murray, I says, man, if you don't be quiet, Marmari, I'm taking my sweetheart and I'm walking away. Because I can't wait to be alone with the love of my life. It's that intimate moment where you don't allow nobody to come and interfere between the two of you.

This is how the Lord waits for every single one of us. He is dying to spend time with every single one of you and one of us. He's dying.

He can't wait for the moment when you say, Lord, I need you. He can't wait for that moment. He comes running quickly.

He comes flying. Before you blink your eyes, he's there. Yes, my child, I am all ears.

Please entertain me. The ultimate name God wishes for us human beings to call him is father. The ultimate name is father.

There is no more precious name God wishes to be called by his own children, but the name of father and father was taught in Aramaic, which is the slang language of that language is slang. So, the Lord's prayer, our father who art in heaven, the literal transliteration of the word abon or abon in Aramaic should say in English, our daddy who art in heaven, not father. Because father is the formal way of referring to dad, but daddy is the informal way.

And so true, because you'll never address your father formally. You will always address him informally. The only way you are formal is with total strangers.

But when it is family, there is no formalities. Otherwise, it is hell living in that house. I imagine you get up in the morning and say, Good morning, Mr. Smith.

Mr. Smith, I pray that you had a very blessed night's sleep. Mr. Smith, can I ask you a question? Mr. Smith, if I see any mercy in your eyes, can I have $20? You'll get up, get out of your dad, a pinch on the cheek, dad, give me 20 bucks. What is it for son? None of your business, dad, just give it, will you? And two of you go.

But when you speak informally, you still respect him because he's still dead. You see, speaking informally doesn't mean I lose track of respect. He's still my father.

But there is no formalities. The Lord wants it exactly this way. Come informally.

Don't give him an eloquent speech. You cannot surpass his wisdom. He'll put you to shame.

Don't give him excuses. He will put you to shame and he will show your entire life as a movie and he'll tell you every single place you made a mistake. But come as you are and say, Dad, I sinned.

Informally, I stuffed up. You see, I sinned is a formal way. So since it's your dad, so dad, I really stuffed up badly the other day.

You know, I went, I went with me mates and those mates were not mates. So they really ruined me, mate. So dad, please, you know, like, I'm really sorry, dad.

Please, you know, don't smack me. Please, another chance that promise you. I know you love me that and and you gave me this love.

You showed me this love. You taught me this love. And with this love, I'm coming to you that I'm saying, I love you, but I'm weak.

Simon Peter swore he did not know Jesus Christ of Nazareth. He swore before a woman, but he cried like a baby. Why? Because Lord, I love you, but I'm weak.

I got scared when I faced death. I got frightened. I wanted to save my life and crucify you, but you know, I love you.

When you come and be honest to yourself with yourself before the Lord and speak informally, rest assured the Lord will care not about your sin as much as he will care about the love you have for him. And that's where St. Paul says it so beautifully in first Corinthians 13. Love covers a lot of errors.

Love covers a lot of errors. The love of Christ for us will cover many of our errors. I'm coming quickly because I love you, the Lord says, but are you calling me to come quickly? Do you love me the way I love you? Are you keen to seeing me the way I am keen to see in seeing you? Are you longing? Are you thirsty for me the way I am thirsty for you? When you come to me, don't be lethargic.

Come quickly because when I come to you, I always come running, flying. I never walk. When it comes to you, I don't waste a breath.

I'm there instantaneously because I love you. Cannot wait to waste a second until I see you. This is the way we need to be with Christ.

So now when you love him there is no more timetable. Timetable is fulfilling a duty, fulfilling an obligation. There is no more, oh did I go to church last Sunday or not? Or maybe I should go now.

Did I read the Holy Bible or maybe not? Maybe I should read it now. Did I pray or not? Maybe I should pray now. Did I do some charitable deeds or not? Maybe I should do it now.

Did I? Did I? Did I? No more did I. It will become natural. When I go to church, I go so naturally I don't even think about it. My heart leads me to the church because that's where the love of my life is waiting to see me.

So I go naturally and I associate myself with everything to do with Christ naturally. Christ is the life. He must be lived, not an obligation fulfilled.

He's a life. You need to live it and when it comes to life, do you count how many times you've taken breath? You don't count. Why? Because it's life.

It's natural. You don't think about it. The Lord says, I am the breath of your life.

Just like you don't count the number of breaths you take every single day, you should never count when it comes to me and you should never look at the time when you are in my presence because when you are with the love of your life, the last thing you do is you look at the time. You don't want the time to take you away from your sweetheart and this is why Bishop Murray preaches and never stops talking. Jesus is the love of my life.

When I'm in his presence, in his holy presence, when I'm talking to him and with him and about him, I don't want it to end. I don't have any other love but him. I don't.

But I love you all because of him. I will die for all of you for his sake. This is the way we should do it.

That's the right way of doing it. Husband and wife, if you love one another through Christ, no one can separate you. No one.

Family, if you love the Lord and love one another through the Lord, that family will stand forever. Church, from the leaders to the faithfuls, all put together. If they love the Lord Jesus, nothing can break the church undivided.

Nothing. Because when Christ is the captain of the ship, it will never sink. It will never sink.

No matter how vast the ocean is, but the captain is the creator of the ocean. He can rebuke the ocean and puts it to calmness. Amen.

Even so, come Lord Jesus. And whoever he is, this says, Amen. Please come Lord Jesus.

We need you Lord because the 21st century is walked away from you Lord. We need you Lord because the world is in turmoil. The world is blind.

The world is death. The world is dead. The world is dark.

The world is evil. The church is divided. Lord Jesus, if there has been a time that we needed you the most, it is today the 21st century.

Lord, please come quickly. Church leaders going against each other. Family going against each other.

Everywhere there is trouble. There is war. There is bloodshed.

People have lost the plot. The day they lost sight of you Lord, they lost themselves totally. We need you Lord.

Come quickly and put an end to this pain. To this pain. To this chaos.

To this lostness. Put an end Lord. Amen.

So come Lord Jesus. We need you. Verse 21, the end of the chapter, the end of the book of Revelation.

Are you gonna come next week? If you don't come, I have red belt in karate. I taught Bruce Lee. I will chop chop you if you don't come next week brother and sister.

Verse 21 and we'll finish it off. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. All. Who is saying this? The Lord gave us this grace and this grace is him.

He is saying I want to be with you all. Why? Because I love you and that's why I died for you on the cross. Death of the cross is the ultimate illustration of true love.

When you love someone more than yourself, you will put your life for them because their life is much more precious than to your own life, to your own self. That's why Jesus died for us because he saw our life was more priceless and precious than his own life. This is why he died.

The one who died for us, the one who was buried for us and the one who rose from the dead on the third day, triumphant forever and evermore, living forevermore, the true living Messiah forevermore is saying I want to be with you. I am the grace sent by God to all of you. I want to be with you all because I love you all.

I don't differentiate. I don't have favorites. Every single one of you is number one in my eyes.

You all come first. There is no first, second, third. There is all first.

It is the church of the firstborn. It is the church of the firstborn. So when Simon Peter was baptized first and somebody is born today after 2,000 and odd years and is baptized now, Simon is one and this baby baptized today is one, number one, equal.

This is the Lord's love for everyone. All of you are number one. That's why I will never lose none of you.

I'll fight for every single one of you equally. I will fight. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.

Amen. I'm just gonna read and I'll finish it off on this. Amazing.

I'll bring your attention on how the Old Testament ended and how the New Testament ended. The Old Testament ended with the book of Malachi or Malachi. In Malachi chapter 4 which is the last chapter and verse 6 which is the last verse, this is the Lord God speaking through Malachi the prophet which is the end of the Old Testament prophecy.

Look at this. Lest I come, the Lord is saying, lest I come and strike the earth with a curse. You better behave otherwise if I come and you're not behaving accordingly I will strike the earth with curse.

The Old Testament ends with the word curse and the New Testament ends with the word grace. The you place yourself under the law you are placing yourself under curse. But if you place yourself under Christ the King you are placing yourself under grace.

Because if you say I want to walk according to the law you can never fulfill the law of God and since you will never be able to fulfill the law of God the law will curse you i.e. will judge you. You break the law the law will break you. You place yourself under the law you place yourself under the curse but if you place yourself under Christ the King you are placing yourself under grace.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Wow. The Old Testament people walked under the law they ended up with curse.

The New Testament Church walked under Christ guidance and leadership is walking under grace. And what is grace? Jesus hanging on the cross awaiting for you to come and say Lord forgive my sins in order to forgive you. Grace forgives law judges and curses.

The law will always find you guilty you're cursed but grace will always find you justified by the blood of the Lamb of God. That is grace. Justification, sanctification where the law is.

Curse, judgment. Incredible. The last chapter of the New Testament the book of Revelation which is the book that talks about God's judgment on the world where the world has denied him.

But at the end for those who accepted him he finishes with the word grace. I'm the ever loving tender kind merciful God for those who accept me. But if you want me to judge reject me.

In my nature I'm the judge and I'm the Savior. You accept me I save you through my grace. You reject me I'll judge you through my law, through my word.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen. Well for now we say farewell for now to the book of Revelation after four years just over four years.

As we said earlier we started we started on the book of Revelation on the 20th of June 2021. Four years and a couple of weeks. Do you want me to continue preaching? God willing going forward.

I don't know there are a couple of ideas that we have. I mean look the Holy Bible is the never-ending. It's never-ending.

I mean in my life will end and so many others who come after me will end and the Holy Bible you'll never come to the end of it from the wisdom that God has placed in his word. Probably going forward in the near future we may touch base on certain sacraments of the church. Now the body and the blood.

Why is it so foundational? The holy baptism, the priesthood rank. We'll touch base on some of the sacraments. We'll touch base on some of the epistles of St. Paul which are enormous, stunning, breathtaking, so deep in theology, so rich in theology and he's like St. Paul is one of the greatest theologians the world will ever see.

One of the greatest theologians the world will ever see. So when St. Paul talks when you read his epistles it is not what you read what he really means. It's much deeper than what you read at a surface level.

His words may sound maybe sometimes simple but it's not. I'm gonna show you it's not that simple. So we'll touch base on some of the epistles just to give you an idea.

We won't have the time obviously to go through all the 14 epistles that he wrote but we'll touch base on some of them so to get an idea how deep St. Paul talks by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. An absolute theologian to the core. Mighty one.

And if you have maybe certain topics you wish for us to touch base on you know shed some light on we may we may put a box later on and you can put your your ideas in that box. If you don't want you don't want anyone to know whose idea it is you know we keep it unanimous. Anonymous I should say.

Anonymous so we'll put a box and you put the idea. Bishop can you talk about marriage? Can you talk on struggles in life with whatever addictions I don't know whatever it is you know different topics whatever comes to your mind. And if you want me to talk about marriage I'll sum it up in one word.

Don't ever get married okay. That's the easiest way out but if you're already married I will pray and I say may the Lord have mercy I mean may the Lord bless you and the grace of the Lord be with you because you need all the grace all the grace the Lord gives you to continue being single I mean married. That's beautiful.

It's no good to be single and those who remain single you need to come into the church life. Work in the church you know. But if you were married before and or still married now you know that's it.

You've had your your taste you've had your share. Thank God whether you are married or single or looking to be married. Thank the Lord.

Don't ever complain. When you're single you say I want to get married and you complain about your singlehood. Don't.

Thank God that you're single. When you're married stop complaining. Thank God that you're married.

You're engaged. Thank God that you're engaged. Thank God for everything.

Thank God always. Poor, rich, healthy, sick. Thank God.

Two eyes, one eye. Thank God. Thank God.

Thank the Lord. He'll give you the heaven of all heavens. That's home.

Here it's just transit. This is not home. So don't dwell on transit.

But thank God that you've made it thus far. I'm in transit and transit says thank you Lord I'm looking forward to come to reaching my destiny. And destiny is where our Heavenly Father is.

Amen. Very good. So we'll see next Friday we'll come up with something by the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Amen. Amen. The Lord is good.

The Lord is good. I love you. Let's stand for the finale prayer please.

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit one God. Amen. Lord make me an instrument of your peace.

Where there is hatred, let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon. Where there is doubt, faith.

Where there is despair, hope. Where there is darkness, light. Where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand. To be loved as to love.

For it is in giving that we receive. It is in pardoning that we are pardoned. It is in dying that we're born again to eternal life.

Amen. May the Lord Jesus bless you, guide you and protect you all the days of your life and forevermore now and forevermore. Amen.

Go in peace. The peace of Christ be with you. My beloved always.

Don't forget next Friday a new topic and another revelation in the love of Christ. Amen. God bless you.

Maybe you'll have a kingdom on earth. Maybe you'll have wealth on earth.
