Speaker 1: The title of the message today is the Kingdom Blueprint for Our Salvation, and I have chosen to outline it under three topics or subtopics or categories.
Speaker 1: The whole outline is Jesus Christ.
Speaker 1: Jesus Christ who conquered death, jesus Christ the cornerstone, and Jesus Christ the Savior, the kingdom blueprint for our salvation, and we shall read from Acts, chapter 4.
Speaker 1: This is coming shortly after Peter has been involved in releasing a miracle to somebody who was a cripple, and then, subsequent to that, the Sanhedrin this is the Jewish governing council and also the Supreme Court decide to gather over that matter, and let's hear what transpires.
Speaker 1: Acts, chapter 4, from verse 8.
Speaker 1: And I will ask us to stand so that we refresh a little the blood again to flow to our feet.
Speaker 1: Acts, chapter 4, from verse 8 to 20.
Speaker 1: I'm reading from the NIV version Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, rulers and elders of the people, if we are being called to account today for an act of kindness shown to a man who was lame and are being asked how he was healed, then know this, you and all the people of Israel it is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified but whom God raised from the dead, that this man stands before you, healed.
Speaker 1: He goes on to say Jesus is a stone you build as rejected, which has now become the cornerstone.
Speaker 1: Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to man by which we must be saved Verse 13.
Speaker 1: But since they could see the man who had been healed standing there with them, there was nothing they could say so they ordered them to withdraw from the Sanhedrin and then conferred together.
Speaker 1: What are we going to do with this man, they asked?
Speaker 1: Everyone living in Jerusalem knows they have performed a notable sign and we cannot deny it.
Speaker 1: But to stop this thing from spreading any further among the people, we must warn them to speak no longer to anyone in this name.
Speaker 1: Then they called them in again and commanded them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus.
Speaker 1: Now this is go back to verse 18.
Speaker 1: This is a counter to the Great Commission, because Jesus had given his disciples a commandment earlier Saying go, make disciples of all nations.
Speaker 1: But here you have a committee that is trying to stop or to counter the command of heaven.
Speaker 1: And so they are saying command them not to speak or teach at all in the name of heaven.
Speaker 1: And so they are saying command them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus.
Speaker 1: But Peter and John replied which is right in God's eyes to listen to you or to him.
Speaker 1: You be judges.
Speaker 1: The last verse as for us, we cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard.
Speaker 1: I would like us to go to verse 12 and read it together.
Speaker 1: Verse 12 is so critical, verse 12,.
Speaker 1: We read verse 12 together.
Speaker 1: Let's read it loud enough.
Speaker 1: Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.
Speaker 1: We may have our seats, by which we must be saved.
Speaker 1: We may have our seats, the kingdom blueprint for our salvation.
Speaker 1: First of all, jesus Christ, who conquered death.
Speaker 1: And let me announce that the dynamic of death has been cancelled through the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Speaker 1: How many believe with me that that dynamic is gone and therefore the dynamic of victory has been released to us and granted to us?
Speaker 1: And for that reason we are able to confidently say we are more than conquerors through Christ Jesus who loved us.
Speaker 1: In Romans, chapter 8, verse 37 to verse 39,.
Speaker 1: Even as we celebrate the Easter season, I would like us to remember that we are more than conquer us.
Speaker 1: This is what the Bible says.
Speaker 1: No, in all these things, we are more than conquer us through him who loved us.
Speaker 1: For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in our creation will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus, our Lord, and therefore I declare straight on that we are more than conquerors, because death is defeated by Jesus Christ and the grave is actually empty.
Speaker 1: And therefore the early church, the believers, walked with certain convictions, and a primary conviction for the believer, the preacher in the early church, was that the grave was empty and Jesus was alive, and this conviction gave them great boldness and great courage, even when faced by great odds against them.
Speaker 1: Peter, you know, at some point was a coward, but you read the scriptures here, in verse 8, it says Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, rulers and elders of the people, he is addressing the ruling council and he's also addressing what is called the Supreme Court, a very contemptuous group, a very intimidating group, a group that was looking down on them, the same group that tried Jesus.
Speaker 1: But look at Peter now.
Speaker 1: Because of this conviction that Jesus, the grave is empty, because of this conviction that Jesus, the grave is empty, jesus is risen.
Speaker 1: He is very, very bold and let me tell you that there are convictions that nobody can shake, nobody can move.
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter where you appear, and therefore the gospel is being preached.
Speaker 1: Peter started after Pentecost.
Speaker 1: Then a miracle happens, acts, chapter 3, verse 6.
Speaker 1: Started after Pentecost, then a miracle happens, acts, chapter 3, verse 6, and now he's continuing with this evangelism and he encounters a group called the Sanhedrin.
Speaker 1: It was a council of 71, there were 70 plus one.
Speaker 1: The one was a high priest, and the quorum for their meetings was 23.
Speaker 1: But this time the meeting was well populated, because this group is threatened, their offices are threatened.
Speaker 1: They are really threatened that somebody else is emerging and a new altar is rising, the altar of all altars that is greater than any other altar, and so they are kind of really disturbed and they all gather and they bring John and they bring Peter, and this is a trial situation.
Speaker 1: Then Peter addresses this group and in verse 11, let me just go back to verse 8.
Speaker 1: Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, rulers and elders of the people, if you are being called to account today for an act of kindness shown to a man who was lame, remember there was that man in Acts, chapter 3, verse 6, who was lame, and Peter spoke to him and he said, in the name of Jesus of Nazareth, walk.
Speaker 1: And the guy stood up, walked into the temple, jumping, praising God, and the whole thing went around.
Speaker 1: And so that's the issue Today an act of kindness shown to a man who was lame and being asked how he was healed.
Speaker 1: Then know this, you and all this is a conviction.
Speaker 1: Know this, you and all the people of Israel.
Speaker 1: It is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucify but whom God raised from the dead, that this man stands before you here.
Speaker 1: Let's give a hand clap to the Lord for Peter that this man stands before you here.
Speaker 1: Let's give a hand clap to the Lord for Peter.
Speaker 1: And it is important for us to be able to state our convictions and also our values and you know, and our assurances.
Speaker 1: Sometimes we are in family meetings, or we are in board meetings, or we are in school meetings, or we are in places, and we have an opportunity to state a conviction, especially when things are organized contrary to the program of God and the plan of God.
Speaker 1: And I thank God for Peter who states a conviction, and this conviction is based on the fact that Jesus is risen from the dead and no one can take that truth away from him.
Speaker 1: And so I pray that in our discipleship.
Speaker 1: This would be a critical conviction.
Speaker 1: It is a conviction of assured victory.
Speaker 1: Assurance of victory, that means, no matter what you face, even when you face a group that's angry and a group that's opposing you, that victory is going to happen.
Speaker 1: And so I believe Peter, at this point, as he's releasing these words, he's courageous and he's strong because he knows at the end of the day, there is victory.
Speaker 1: Let me declare this week a week of victory in Jesus' name, and let me say that the graves are getting sealed.
Speaker 1: The graves where dreams are buried, the graves where careers are actually buried, the graves where marriages are buried, the graves where your finances have been buried, the graves where your destiny somehow is getting buried have been buried, the graves where your destiny somehow is getting buried and the enemy is scooping the soil and throwing in with the spades, one after the other.
Speaker 1: And I want to decree today that opening of those graves.
Speaker 1: This is the week in Jesus' name and there is a resurrection dynamic that I'm releasing this week.
Speaker 1: Pastor Ambrose, together with Pastor Ambrose, releasing this week a resurrection dynamic.
Speaker 1: Let's give another hand to Jesus, A Resurrection Dynamic.
Speaker 1: The reason I'm a preacher is because the grave is empty and therefore, I can go and confront issues and go to spaces and declare Jesus' risen from the dead and speak in the valley of dry bones, ezekiel, chapter 37.
Speaker 1: And I say this valley of dry bones, verse 1 to 10, I decree and declare it turns from the valley of death to the valley of life.
Speaker 1: And this week that dynamic has been released in Jesus' name, and so Peter is doing exactly that.
Speaker 1: This is a group who are really not believers in the resurrection some of them and he's releasing that dynamic, and he must release that word, and he's saying that Jesus, you crucified, you buried, is now risen and he is alive.
Speaker 1: And so let us celebrate this victory that God has given us through Jesus Christ, the kingdom blueprint for our salvation.
Speaker 1: At the root of it is victory, because the grave is empty and that blueprint, or that plan, is actually Jesus Christ.
Speaker 1: Jesus Christ who conquered death.
Speaker 1: He is alive and he is risen and he is here right now.
Speaker 1: John 10 10 says the thief comes to steal, to kill and to destroy, but Jesus came that he might do what?
Speaker 1: Yeah, we might have life and have it abundantly.
Speaker 1: May God grant you abundant life, abundant life upstairs, in the name of Jesus, and also online abundant life.
Speaker 1: That is why the grave is empty, because life has conquered and victored over death.
Speaker 1: And so I thank God for Peter and I thank God for the centrality of Christology in the first century, that in their messaging, that in their engagement and in their evangelism Jesus was brought center stage.
Speaker 1: And Jesus is a kingdom blueprint for our salvation.
Speaker 1: There is no other God has no plan B except his son, jesus Christ, and I thank God for Jesus.
Speaker 1: And so nothing else will open those graves except Jesus Christ, but number two, except Jesus Christ, but number two, jesus Christ, the cornerstone.
Speaker 1: Foundations are very important.
Speaker 1: Let me read verse 11 of Acts, chapter 4.
Speaker 1: Jesus is the stone you build as rejected, which has become the cornerstone.
Speaker 1: Let me repeat it Jesus is the stone you build as rejected, which has become the cornerstone.
Speaker 1: Foundations are very important.
Speaker 1: A building like this is stable.
Speaker 1: There are no cracks because the foundation was done well.
Speaker 1: Foundation cost and foundations take time.
Speaker 1: Jesus has paid the price for a new beginning, for a new foundation, for somebody to build a new life upon.
Speaker 1: Jesus has paid the price, and the price was very high, because he went to the cross and he died.
Speaker 1: He shed his blood, he was buried and finally he rose from the dead.
Speaker 1: And this foundation is a conviction that Peter also has, and my prayer is this that those lives that have been set on the wrong foundations today, even as I'm preaching, determine to lay your life on the right foundation, and that foundation is our Lord Jesus Christ.
Speaker 1: I'll just read some verses from 1 Peter, chapter 2, verse 4 to 7, just amplifying this thought again the foundation conviction that Jesus Christ is that cornerstone that the builders rejected, but God has chosen it to become the main stone holding the whole entire structure together.
Speaker 1: In the book of 1 Peter, chapter 2, from verse 4, the Bible says "as you come to him, the living stone, rejected by humans but chosen by God and precious to him, you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood offering spiritual sacrifices" acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
Speaker 1: For in scripture it says See, I lay a stone in Zion, a chosen and precious cornerstone, and the one who trusts in him will never be put to shame.
Speaker 1: And I want us to say these words Since I trust in Jesus as the cornerstone of my life, I'll never be put to shame.
Speaker 1: I don't know that it's a long statement, but let's try it together, since I gave a long statement, long for me also.
Speaker 1: But hallelujah, since we've put our faith in Jesus Christ and he is the cornerstone, we shall never, never be put to shame.
Speaker 1: You know, he came to his own.
Speaker 1: John 1 verse 12 says the following he came to his own and his own received him not, but to all who received him, who believed in his name, he gave them the power to become the children of God.
Speaker 1: There are those who rejected this cornerstone, but thank God, we have an opportunity and we have had an opportunity to lay our lives upon this cornerstone, jesus Christ.
Speaker 1: Money is not a good foundation.
Speaker 1: Education is not strong enough to carry your life.
Speaker 1: A good name and status, all these are possible foundations and there are people holding on to those things.
Speaker 1: Yet they are like shifting sand, and sometimes they're here, sometimes they are not here, and when they are gone somebody gets depressed Because that's all they were holding on to.
Speaker 1: But I suggest to us, like Peter is telling the Sanhedrin, that you, sanhedrin, are not the foundation of the Jewish growth and development.
Speaker 1: There is one who is the foundation, and today I share with you this conviction.
Speaker 1: His name is Jesus Christ.
Speaker 1: You have rejected him.
Speaker 1: But that doesn't change the fact Jesus Christ is a foundation that the young people of Africa actually need, that the children of Africa need, and so even in our homes, parents, let us teach boldly about this foundation and let's lay our children on this great foundation that is Jesus Christ.
Speaker 1: Let me say that when you put your trust in Jesus, then you cannot be shaken.
Speaker 1: Psalm 125.
Speaker 1: I'll have it on the screen, verse 1 and 2.
Speaker 1: It is a good, good foundation.
Speaker 1: Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot be shaken but does what Enjoys forever.
Speaker 1: As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the Lord surrounds his people, both now and forever.
Speaker 1: Psalms 20, verse 7, says Some trust in chariots, others trust in horses, but I trust in the name of the Lord.
Speaker 1: Jesus is able to carry the weight of the whole world.
Speaker 1: You don't have to struggle with that.
Speaker 1: We just simply come on to Jesus, get loaded onto Jesus Christ, who is this foundation, and he is able to carry you.
Speaker 1: He's able to carry all the needs and the issues that we may have.
Speaker 1: Matthew 11, verse 28, says come to me all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Speaker 1: And therefore I'm presenting a foundation and a cornerstone and somebody here, you sense your life has been built on a wrong foundation.
Speaker 1: Today, as I pray, I am inviting you to place your life on that foundation that can never, never be shaken.
Speaker 1: Put your faith in Jesus Christ and your life will be stable.
Speaker 1: When the foundation is soft and weak because Jesus is a rock the rest of the foundations are like sand.
Speaker 1: By the way, let me just read Matthew 7, verse 24 and verse 25.
Speaker 1: Matthew 7, verse 24 and verse 25.
Speaker 1: Therefore, everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a man who built his house on the rock.
Speaker 1: The rain came down, the streams rose and the winds blew and beat against that house.
Speaker 1: Yet it did not fall, because let's read that together because it had its foundation on the rock.
Speaker 1: But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice, like a foolish man who built his house on sand.
Speaker 1: The rains came down, the streams rose and the winds blew and beat against that house.
Speaker 1: And look at the last part and it fell with what A great crash.
Speaker 1: So you know, when the ground is soft, it's not the rock and you put your house there that you're lying, you're deceiving yourself because cracks are going to show on the wall.
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter how well you do the walls, because you know when the ground is not, even the building yields on the softer side and because of that, the stresses, the tensions, all of that in the structure suddenly generate some cracks.
Speaker 1: And let me tell you, you can have a crack so big you can be seen from outside, and we don't want the devil to see the inside.
Speaker 1: Hallelujah, because a crack is right there.
Speaker 1: If your marriage is built on the wrong foundation, there will be cracks in that bedroom and the devil can see you from outside and you don't want that to happen.
Speaker 1: And so I'm encouraging us to put our houses and you're investing so heavily.
Speaker 1: You know it's so expensive to do the walls and put this roof up here.
Speaker 1: It's also a very expensive endeavor, but can you imagine you're spending so much spending on things that will finally collapse.
Speaker 1: And so Peter tells the Sanhedrin you've missed it.
Speaker 1: There is a foundation I know that you don't know about, and his name is Jesus Christ.
Speaker 1: And in evangelism you introduce Jesus as one who is risen.
Speaker 1: You introduce Jesus as one who somebody can build a new life on and give them a new beginning.
Speaker 1: May I say right now the cross is a statement of God's second chance.
Speaker 1: The cross, the cross, is a statement of God's second chance, and God is able to give anyone a second chance.
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter your background or your history.
Speaker 1: The cross is God's second chance.
Speaker 1: And today, as you listen to me preach, you can respond to God's second chance and you come to the cross and you ask for forgiveness and I tell you you will receive a new foundation and you receive what God is able to offer.
Speaker 1: But finally, of course, jesus Christ the Savior.
Speaker 1: Jesus Christ the Savior.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 1: Acts 4, verse 12, we read it together says salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.
Speaker 1: In the first service I read that and I said Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name.
Speaker 1: In other words, the search is over, the Savior has been given and therefore, don't stop the seeking.
Speaker 1: The answer is already here and Jesus is the answer, and Jesus carries salvation and there is no.
Speaker 1: You will go everywhere, you will not find salvation.
Speaker 1: The only place you can find salvation is in Jesus Christ and we celebrate this salvation by receiving him as Lord and Savior.
Speaker 1: And Peter therefore tells the Sanhedrin he's getting bolder by the moment the statements he's making, these are statements of conviction and they are bolder as it's going on and he says, finally, salvation is found in no one else.
Speaker 1: He's simply saying this is exclusive salvation, exclusively found in our lord Jesus Christ.
Speaker 1: And you know, jesus himself said the following John 14, verse 6 I am the way, we know the verse, I am the way, I am the truth, I am the life.
Speaker 1: No one comes to the father, but we know the verse.
Speaker 1: I am the way, I am the truth, I am the life.
Speaker 1: No one comes to the Father, but by me the whole world, those in Asia, those in Europe, those in North America, south America, australia, new Zealand, everywhere around the world.
Speaker 1: Go anywhere, you will find no other Savior.
Speaker 1: And therefore the Savior for people in Asia and the Savior for people in Africa is the same, the savior for people in Europe and South America.
Speaker 1: And that is the unifying factor of the gospel that our salvation is found in one place and only one place.
Speaker 1: The Samaritan woman found her salvation in one place, in John, chapter 4.
Speaker 1: And she came to Jacob's well, it was midday, jesus was there.
Speaker 1: There is J Jacob, there is J Jesus.
Speaker 1: And this lady had kept coming to this well called Jacob, jacob, jacob.
Speaker 1: And you know the well called Jacob, my friend, doesn't satisfy.
Speaker 1: You can drink its water and drink and even shower in it, but that water doesn't satisfy.
Speaker 1: But this one day she comes, and it was midday, the sun is up there, it's pretty hot and because of her character, you know, a wretch turned into a treasure.
Speaker 1: Because of her character, you know, she had five husbands.
Speaker 1: She had lived with five husbands.
Speaker 1: Now she was having the sixth one.
Speaker 1: You know her life was like that.
Speaker 1: But she come into Jacob's well With that kind of life, a life of sin.
Speaker 1: But she gets Jacob's water, she goes back home, they drink that water and that water never sorts Quenches, the thirst, doesn't wash away the sins, does not give her a new start in life.
Speaker 1: Until this particular day, the woman, the Samaritan woman, divine appointment, the kingdom blueprint for salvation is right there and his name is Jesus Christ by the will.
Speaker 1: And they connect.
Speaker 1: And you know that, the short encounter between the Samaritan woman and Jesus Christ shortened their whole life journey of seeking and trying to find happiness and trying to find joy.
Speaker 1: Because the journey was shortened.
Speaker 1: Jesus was right there and he is the answer.
Speaker 1: And out of that connection her life was changed and she went back to Sychar, a changed woman.
Speaker 1: This woman was now valuable, she had value.
Speaker 1: She came to a city before she didn't have value, but now she has value and people are looking at her.
Speaker 1: There is glory on her life.
Speaker 1: She gives her testimony and then the whole city is brought to Jesus Christ because of one woman who meets Jesus.
Speaker 1: This is Jesus Christ, the Savior, and her life is turned around.
Speaker 1: And you know, from that day, this woman was never the same again.
Speaker 1: And so Peter is telling the Sanhedrin you guys, you need to be knowing Jesus, who is actually the Savior.
Speaker 1: And I want to suggest, I want to suggest to say to us today the Savior.
Speaker 1: And I want to suggest, I want to suggest to say to us today that this Savior is able to forgive any kind of sin.
Speaker 1: Acts 103, verse 12, says as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions.
Speaker 1: He forgives our sins and remembers them no more, forgives our sins and remembers them no more.
Speaker 1: He's a savior who is different.
Speaker 1: He is loving and he's kind.
Speaker 1: He restores, he forgives, he redeems.
Speaker 1: He became the ransom for us, since he paid the price, and he's a substitute.
Speaker 1: He took my place in the dock.
Speaker 1: I was supposed to be condemned to death.
Speaker 1: In the courtroom of divine justice, I was supposed to be condemned to death.
Speaker 1: I was supposed to be condemned to death.
Speaker 1: In the courtroom of divine justice, I was supposed to be condemned to death.
Speaker 1: I was supposed to go to the gallows, but he became my savior by coming and taking my place.
Speaker 1: He took my position and he becomes the substitute, the Lamb of God.
Speaker 1: John 1, 29, where John said behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world, and because of that then I walked free.
Speaker 1: John 8, 36 says whoever the Son of God sets free is free.
Speaker 1: Indeed, it's double freedom.
Speaker 1: Whoever the Son of God sets free is free, indeed Free.
Speaker 1: Free, then delivered, and he completely set free.
Speaker 1: That person is free.
Speaker 1: Only Jesus can save to the uttermost.
Speaker 1: Only Jesus can save to this kind of death.
Speaker 1: He's only one who can uproot where somebody is rooted and put them in the right place, even when the roots were very deep and running deep.
Speaker 1: Only Jesus can do this.
Speaker 1: And so Peter knows, no matter where people are found in the world, only one savior, and there is no other name given to man by which you must be saved, and that name is the name of Jesus.
Speaker 1: And so today, the kingdom blueprint for our salvation was crafted by the father.
Speaker 1: The kingdom blueprint for our salvation was crafted by the Father, and John 3.16 says For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
Speaker 1: God, the Father, designed this blueprint.
Speaker 1: God the Son effected the blueprint and the Holy Spirit is implementing the design.
Speaker 1: And you know, god set it up.
Speaker 1: And then the son said I will go.
Speaker 1: You know, I like the song.
Speaker 1: I see a man walking in the streets.
Speaker 1: He doesn't know, yes, Hallelujah.
Speaker 1: But somebody's a good singer and he composed some songs and somebody's roaming.
Speaker 1: And doesn't know, yes, hallelujah, but somebody's a good singer and he composed some songs and somebody's roaming and doesn't know.
Speaker 1: You know, he just doesn't know.
Speaker 1: But God already has done it.
Speaker 1: And this is what good news is it's proclaiming what God has already done.
Speaker 1: So he did it.
Speaker 1: The sun said here I am, and the sun came, became a human being, so that we could identify with God.
Speaker 1: If you want to save the giriris, you know the giriri, become a giriri, because that's the only way you can actually bring a difference those who are not from this country.
Speaker 1: The giriri is like a small what do you call it?
Speaker 1: The little ant.
Speaker 1: So if you really want to save the world of ants, then become an ant.
Speaker 1: But God is a masterpiece, this design is a masterpiece and Jesus becomes a human being and he comes here.
Speaker 1: He becomes a lamb of God and therefore he's able to satisfy the justice of God, because we sinned and fell short of the glory of God and the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus, our Lord.
Speaker 1: And therefore Jesus consummating this great design blueprint from above, he becomes now that blueprint and he goes to the cross and delivers the instruments for our salvation the blood of Jesus.
Speaker 1: You know the name of Jesus and when you have these instruments, no wonder Peter was using them as they were going through the book of Acts.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you get this breakthroughs.
Speaker 1: Jesus granted salvation the material it needed to be effective, to be effectual, to be able to work in the lives of men and women, and Jesus granted them through his own life, his own body, and he went to the cross and he gave his all and therefore we can drink from his cup and the cup of salvation is now full.
Speaker 1: And if you come by faith, you just simply come by faith.
Speaker 1: The whole work is done.
Speaker 1: And Pastor Ambrose shared last Sunday we don't struggle.
Speaker 1: We don't struggle, I mean don't work too hard, Don't push too hard, because God has already done the whole work.
Speaker 1: Ours is just faith.
Speaker 1: Believe faith, walk by faith, and the just shall live by faith.
Speaker 1: And you come and you believe that what Jesus did on the cross was for my salvation, and then you accept it for yourself.
Speaker 1: The Bible says, romans, chapter 10, as I come to a close, from verse 9.
Speaker 1: Romans, chapter 10, from verse 9.
Speaker 1: When, chapter 10 from verse 9.
Speaker 1: When you appropriate this salvation, it becomes yours.
Speaker 1: If you declare with your mouth Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
Speaker 1: For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.
Speaker 1: Then it goes on to say, as the scripture says, anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.
Speaker 1: And it goes on to say there is no difference between Jew and Greek.
Speaker 1: And then the need for a preacher.
Speaker 1: But what I'm saying is this salvation is just a prayer away, and I thank God for this masterpiece, because salvation would have been impossible, we'd never, ever, ever experience salvation.
Speaker 1: And so in the Old Testament, people tried working with goats, and I'm seeing people today going back to goats Pastor Keniti, I don't know.
Speaker 1: People are going back to goats and cows for deliverance, or even for answers to prayer or breakthroughs.
Speaker 1: Let me say walk away from that in Jesus' name.
Speaker 1: Jesus did it all and we cannot reenact that it's done.
Speaker 1: Our role is to accept, to believe and appropriate the gift of God through his son, jesus Christ, and when we do that, then we are saved and we become new creation.
Speaker 1: Second Corinthians, 5, 17, says if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.
Speaker 1: The old is gone.
Speaker 1: Behold, the new has come.
Speaker 1: All this is from God who, through Christ, reconciled us to himself and he gave us the ministry of reconciliation.
Speaker 1: And therefore, today I'm here again to remind us that God, the Father, in his love, put together the blueprint.
Speaker 1: Jesus accepted to effect it.
Speaker 1: You know to effect it and the Holy Spirit Is implementing it.
Speaker 1: And today, even as I lead us to a place of prayer, I want to say that through Jesus Christ you have victory.
Speaker 1: Through Jesus Christ you have a foundation and through Jesus Christ you have salvation.
Speaker 1: I don't know, because as we preach from here, pastor Ambrose, I know the word comes differently.
Speaker 1: God is speaking to your heart.
Speaker 1: The Holy Spirit is speaking to you.
Speaker 1: There is a way in which God has connected you with this message.
Speaker 1: I'm preaching here and maybe you need victory in one area of your life or another.
Speaker 1: You've been struggling in your own strength, but the preacher has said the victory was won.
Speaker 1: If the grave could be beaten, what is it Jesus cannot handle?
Speaker 1: The victory he grants is amazing victory, but thanks be to God who grants us the victory through Jesus Christ.
Speaker 1: Maybe that's the area the Lord is speaking to you.
Speaker 1: And there's a matter in your life you've been struggling in your own strength and because now you have had this message again, you're saying I want to experience peace, I want to know joy.
Speaker 1: I need victory.
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter what area of life, is it a sickness?
Speaker 1: Is it finances?
Speaker 1: Is it a relationship?
Speaker 1: God is able to deal with all of this.
Speaker 1: A foundation.
Speaker 1: You've been building on the wrong foundation and God has spoken to your life.
Speaker 1: You know, and today you are saying I would like to uproot, to be uprooted from the wrong foundation.
Speaker 1: Jeremiah, chapter 1, verse 10.
Speaker 1: Jeremiah, chapter 1, verse 10, you can give me on the screen and be placed on the right foundation.
Speaker 1: Jeremiah was given some commission and he was appointed.
Speaker 1: Jeremiah, chapter 1 and verse 10.
Speaker 1: See, today, I appoint you over nations and kingdoms to uproot.
Speaker 1: So uprooting is possible.
Speaker 1: To tear down, that means tearing down is possible to destroy, destroying is possible, overthrow is possible about things that are not right in our lives, and then to build and to plant.
Speaker 1: God is speaking to somebody and saying I want to put you on the right foundation and God, the Father, is saying Jesus Christ, my son, is that foundation, but finally, the Savior, if you've never given your life to Jesus, there is no better time than Easter season, as we focus this week, the cross, the death, the resurrection this coming weekend.
Speaker 1: Even now, not.
Speaker 1: We can, even now, not even we can't wait.
Speaker 1: Even now, this is the best time for you to receive Jesus as Lord and Savior.
Speaker 1: And let me tell you, you will leave this church sanctuary with a second chance, even the ones online.
Speaker 1: I know, pastor Kenity, there were some people online in the other service who responded and we will follow, even those who are online.
Speaker 1: We shall follow you.
Speaker 1: You have a chance to receive victory today.
Speaker 1: You have a chance to place your life on a new foundation and you have a chance to accept Jesus as Lord and Savior.
Speaker 1: And so, like Peter talking to the Sanhedrin, savior, and so, like Peter talking to the Sanhedrin, I present Jesus as God's blueprint for our salvation.
Speaker 1: There is no other.
Speaker 1: There is and you shall find no other anywhere.
Speaker 1: The wait is over, the search is over.
Speaker 1: Jesus is Lord and Jesus is King, and so I'll ask us to stand up so that we can pray together and trust God together, thanking God for all of us who have been able to come.
Speaker 1: I will just encourage us in this very brief moment.
Speaker 1: The Lord has spoken to you in one of the areas, as I was sharing the word of God and you sense you must respond.
Speaker 1: The responding can happen where you are.
Speaker 1: It can happen in your heart.
Speaker 1: The responding can be.
Speaker 1: You can raise a hand.
Speaker 1: You can come forward if you wish, but I'm making an invitation, I'm opening up this altar.
Speaker 1: It is the altar of those things I've shared, god's blueprint for our salvation, victory altar, foundation, new foundation altar and salvation altar.
Speaker 1: You can even walk here and this will be very brief.
Speaker 1: We shall just pray with you, those who are upstairs.
Speaker 1: You can come up on belly, just along the railing.
Speaker 1: You don't have to come down here.
Speaker 1: And we invest another three minutes or so because this is very important and the message has come across.
Speaker 1: As we do a song, kasina, as we do this song, this particular moment, these three, four minutes, let's just take time to respond, either where you are or you can come forward.
Speaker 1: I encourage you to take a step of faith.
Speaker 1: That's an encouragement.
Speaker 1: Come over here and also come down.
Speaker 1: Those who are upstairs Victory, a new foundation and salvation.
Speaker 1: This is your time.
Speaker 1: As we sing Come.
Speaker 2: This is your time.
Speaker 2: As we sing, come come.
Speaker 2: You make things happen.
Speaker 2: You do good things for others.
Speaker 2: You remove the burden of others.
Speaker 2: Thank you, mambu, ambaye Mwanadamu Mwanadamu awezi Una tofa rajamba, una tofa rajamba, mwanadamu Mwanadamu awezi Mwanadamu awezi Nafanya mambu.
Speaker 2: Mambu ambaye Mwanadamu Mwanadamu awezi Una tofa rajamba, una tofa rajamba, one at a time.
Speaker 2: One at a time.
Speaker 2: One at a time One at a time.
Speaker 1: We want to pray.
Speaker 1: Now, father, we celebrate the many decisions that have been made today, online, in the pavilion, in the overflow spaces and even here in our hearts and in the lives of those who have come forward.
Speaker 1: God, we celebrate all these decisions.
Speaker 1: We know that they are life-changing decisions and we know that they're important to you as much as they are important to us.
Speaker 1: And therefore, my Father, as your servant, I receive those who are making decisions at the altar the altar of victory, the altar of a new cornerstone and the altar of salvation.
Speaker 1: My God, with this congregation, I have the joy of receiving all the ones who have made decision.
Speaker 1: You can give a hand to the Lord.
Speaker 1: My God, we thank you.
Speaker 1: We thank you for these decisions.
Speaker 1: Holy Spirit, I pray that you now hover over every one of the lives that has made a decision today, because I know it's only by the power of the Holy Spirit.
