So since the Lord rushed us into 16 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:47,400 the year 2026, gradually he's seen us through. 17 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:55,520 And this morning we have every cause to be grateful unto Him. 18 00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:02,360 Amen. We are the Son, so-called. 19 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:14,600 We are. The essence of God, our rules. 20 00:02:14,920 --> 00:02:17,640 Are washed. In. 21 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:27,200 The blood of Jesus. We are the essence of God. 22 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:32,040 If you are here this morning, I want you to declare what you 23 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:36,800 believe. I believe that I am a child of 24 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:41,440 God and my ropes are washed by the blood of Jesus. 25 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:47,320 I am declaring my faith. If you also believe it, I want 26 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:51,520 you to declare it. We are the sons. 27 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:59,920 Of God, Hallelujah, we are the Son. 28 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:14,600 Our rooms are washed in the blight of Jesus. 29 00:03:15,920 --> 00:03:23,200 We. Are the sounds of rooms are 30 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:31,520 washed in the blight of Jesus? We. 31 00:03:41,760 --> 00:04:13,920 Are. This morning I was thinking 32 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:18,160 about the criteria God used to select His people, His children, 33 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:22,520 to call people unto himself. And then one. 34 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:26,400 I was trying to understand the criteria I couldn't understand, 35 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:32,600 and I tried to take the place of God and try to see if I should 36 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:37,400 call people unto myself as God. Who are those I'm going to call 37 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,560 unto myself? I'm going to call those who are 38 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,600 serious with me. I'm going to call those who are 39 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,480 committed to me. I'm going to call those I've 40 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,200 shown mercy and they reciprocate it unto me. 41 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:56,800 But the Bible is saying that God, whilst we were yet sinners, 42 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:33,440 he died for us. This morning I'm speaking on the 43 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:40,320 topic Do not sell your birthright again. 44 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:48,120 Do not sell your birthright again. 45 00:05:49,840 --> 00:05:55,640 Do not sell your birthright again. 46 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:04,120 What is birthright? What is birthright? 47 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:14,880 The special legal and spiritual inheritance bestowed upon the 48 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:21,560 first born son, typically comprising a double portion of a 49 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:27,600 father's property. Family leadership and covenantal 50 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:35,400 blessings. Birthright signifies 51 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:44,560 responsibility, stewardship and maintaining of the family's 52 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,000 honor. Amen. 53 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:53,160 Amen. The first person in the Bible 54 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,040 who was giving a birthright is Adam. 55 00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:05,000 When you read scriptures in Genesis chapter one verse 26 56 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:09,640 downwards, the Bible says after God had created everything and 57 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:16,200 then he decided in his infinite wisdom to create man and bestow 58 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,560 confide his creation into his sons. 59 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,400 The Bible says that that is room. 60 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:29,280 Genesis chapter 126 to 31. Then God said, let us make man 61 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:33,000 in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish 62 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:37,520 of the sea and the best of the air, over the livestock, over 63 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:41,960 all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the 64 00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,480 ground. So while you read all this, you 65 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:49,800 see that when God decided to create man in his own image, God 66 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:55,960 decided to commit his creation. God assigned man as a steward of 67 00:07:55,960 --> 00:08:02,360 his creation and survival is saying that when God created man 68 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:06,440 he committed. He gave all his creation unto 69 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:11,880 man and then he told him what he should do because of time. 70 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:16,880 I will not read all but the point here is that God in his 71 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:22,000 infinite wisdom could have decided to commit his creation 72 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,920 to any other time. My Bible says after he has 73 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:31,640 created everything in his infinite wisdom he said let us 74 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:36,919 create man how? In our own likeness and in our 75 00:08:36,919 --> 00:08:38,799 own image. And so when you read Bible is 76 00:08:38,799 --> 00:08:42,880 saying that when God created man, God breathed into him, 77 00:08:44,680 --> 00:08:49,880 Amen, Amen. So I'm saying that the first 78 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:56,160 person in the Bible who inherited birthright is Adam, 79 00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,960 Amen. And so you could see that God 80 00:08:59,960 --> 00:09:04,480 gave Adam a work to do. God confided his creation. 81 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:09,520 In other words, when God created Adam, immediately Adam had a 82 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:14,720 responsibility of taking creation of God's creation, 83 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:24,000 taking care of God's creation, and in order for man to know 84 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:31,200 that of a truth, God has given him, confided his creation into 85 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,760 his hand. The Bible says that when God 86 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:38,960 created man, God told man to name his creation. 87 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:48,400 God who created his own creation knows why he created them. 88 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,800 The Bible is saying that after he has finished all and then he 89 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:55,160 created man and he gave his creation to man. 90 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,720 Now God instructs man name my creation. 91 00:09:59,680 --> 00:10:03,040 Hello. So here we see God giving His 92 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:09,520 authority and power. We see God portray portraying 93 00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:15,440 the inheritance, the birthright He has given unto man Amen. 94 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:21,320 And survival is saying that when you read Genesis chapter 2 verse 95 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:26,920 18 and 19, the lost God said it is not good for man to be a 96 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:30,000 Lord. I will make a helper suitable 97 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,360 for him. Now the Lord God had formed out 98 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:37,880 of the ground all the beasts of the field and all the best of 99 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:41,640 the air. He brought them to the man to 100 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:46,960 see what he would name them. And whatever the man called each 101 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:52,600 living creature, that was its name, Amen. 102 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:59,800 So whatever name man gave to God's creation, God approved of 103 00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:01,760 it. Amen. 104 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,400 And then while you continue reading, Rival is saying that 105 00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:11,720 after God has given his creation unto man to take care of it to 106 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:16,560 be a steward, the Bible is saying that God instructed man. 107 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:20,320 And in fact, if you read when God was giving this instruction 108 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:23,280 to man, by then the woman was not dead. 109 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:30,640 And it can be found in Genesis chapter 2 verse 15 and 17 in 110 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:34,400 other ways. When God gave the birthright to 111 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:39,120 Adam, the birthright came with instructions. 112 00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:51,440 Hello, the Lord God. The Lord God took the man and 113 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:56,800 put him in the garden of Aden to work it and take care of it. 114 00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:03,400 And the Lord God commanded the man, You are free to eat from 115 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:11,840 any tree in the garden, but you must not eat from the tree of 116 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:18,960 the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat of it, you will 117 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,960 surely die. Amen. 118 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:29,240 So after God has given man the birthright, the Bible is saying 119 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:33,280 that he gave man an instruction. But please take note when he 120 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:39,720 gave him the instruction not to eat of the tree of knowledge of 121 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:45,040 good and evil, the Bible is saying that as at that time the 122 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:50,800 woman was not with Adam. So what does it mean? 123 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:56,240 What it means is that there are some instructions. 124 00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:02,040 All instructions to birthright are given to those who have the 125 00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:05,120 birthright. Hello. 126 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:11,600 Instructions attached to birthright are given to those 127 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:17,440 who are beneficiary submits. Amen. 128 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:22,120 Amen. And so while you continue 129 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:28,360 reading, the Bible is saying that when the woman came, if you 130 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:31,360 read Genesis chapter 3 verse 1 to 19. 131 00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:38,120 Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the 132 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:43,800 Lord God had made. He said to the woman, did God 133 00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:50,040 really say you must not eat from any tree in the garden? 134 00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:55,800 Now the serpent is asking the lady or the woman Eve. 135 00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:02,120 Now the question here is, was the instruction given to Eve? 136 00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:06,360 When the instruction was being given, where was Eve? 137 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:12,760 And if truly the devil was interested in the right answer, 138 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:16,800 why did he not go to the one to whom the instruction was given, 139 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:23,000 but he chose to go to Eve. Amen. 140 00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:29,680 Amen. The woman said to the serpent. 141 00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:37,800 The woman said to the serpent, We may eat fruits from the trees 142 00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:44,880 in the garden. We may eat fruits. 143 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:53,440 That's verse 32, Genesis 32, the woman said to the serpent, We 144 00:14:53,440 --> 00:15:00,440 may eat fruits from the trees in the garden, but God did say, you 145 00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:04,880 must not eat from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, 146 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:09,040 and you must not touch it or you will die. 147 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:14,240 You will not surely die, the serpent said to the woman, For 148 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:19,200 God knows that when you eat of it, your eyes will be open. 149 00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:24,440 Now take note here, take note of the response the woman gave to 150 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:30,040 the serpent. The woman said, That is verse 2. 151 00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:35,640 The woman said to the serpent, We may eat from the trees in the 152 00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:43,040 garden, but God did see we must not eat fruit from the free from 153 00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:48,320 the tree that is in the middle of the garden and you must not 154 00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:52,520 touch it or you will die. Amen. 155 00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:58,920 This is the response of the woman to the serpent or the 156 00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:02,240 devil. Now the question here is 1. 157 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:07,240 God was given the instruction the woman was not there and one 158 00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:13,280 Satan came wanting to enquire. Satan chose to go to the woman, 159 00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:18,920 and then when Satan went to the woman to inquire, the woman 160 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:24,520 responded. And if you should look at the 161 00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:28,840 response of the woman, you could see that that is the exact 162 00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:30,840 instruction that was given to Adam. 163 00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:35,640 So what it means is that when the instruction was given to 164 00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:40,760 Adam and the woman was given to Adam, Adam shared the 165 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:46,000 instruction with the woman. Hello. 166 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:51,480 Adam shared the instruction with the woman. 167 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:57,200 In other ways, Adam thought the woman. 168 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:15,359 And here we see Adam trying to portray leadership as someone 169 00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:19,359 who has inherited God's creation. 170 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:26,440 God has made him the leader of his creation. 171 00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:34,800 So when the woman was given to Adam, Adam thought Eve, Amen. 172 00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:39,720 Amen. So one of the lessons I want us 173 00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:48,080 to learn here is as leaders, as people of God, as children of 174 00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:55,640 God who have been called by God, we have the responsibility to 175 00:17:55,640 --> 00:18:01,480 teach, just like the way I am teaching. 176 00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:09,560 And one of the instructions that comes, or one of the yes, 177 00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:13,720 instructions that comes with the responsibility of birthright is 178 00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:19,320 to lead and to teach, which Adam of course did. 179 00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:31,080 But take notes when the woman responded to the serpent. 180 00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:41,440 The serpent also went further to convince the woman, and the 181 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:48,200 woman ate the forbidden fruits. That is not where my emphasis 182 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:51,480 is, so I will not talk much about that. 183 00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:57,360 But what I want to draw your attention to is that as leaders, 184 00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:01,720 as people of God, as children of God who have been called by the 185 00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:10,120 grace of God, one of the ways we work on our childbirthright or 186 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:15,840 our birthright is to ensure that every instruction that is 187 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:23,160 attached to our birthright, we teach it to the generations that 188 00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:26,880 will come after us. Amen. 189 00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:33,960 And so because of time, maybe let me read the ending and then 190 00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:40,080 we move on. And so after they have eaten the 191 00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:44,800 forbidden fruit, if you read the verse 9, but the Lord called the 192 00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:47,680 Lord, God called the man, where are you? 193 00:19:48,120 --> 00:19:54,200 He answered, Where are you? He answered. 194 00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:58,760 So God is dealing with the man and the devil is dealing with 195 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:04,680 the woman. Who had the forbidden fruit 196 00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:08,040 first is the woman. So when God came, God could have 197 00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:11,800 said, Eve, where are you? But God never confided his 198 00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:13,640 creation into the hands of the woman. 199 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:18,120 He confided it into the hands of the man, including the woman. 200 00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:24,280 And so when God came, and then he was calling, he said, Adam, 201 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:29,520 where are you? Amen. 202 00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:33,520 So one of the lessons we can also learn here is that whenever 203 00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:39,760 God is calling, he calls those to whom he has given the 204 00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:44,760 birthright. Whenever God is calling, he 205 00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:48,840 called those to whom he has extended his birthright. 206 00:20:52,920 --> 00:21:00,120 He answered, I heard you in the garden and I was afraid because 207 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:04,400 I was naked, so I hid and he said, who told you you were 208 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:07,760 naked? Have you eaten the tree that I 209 00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:13,720 commanded you not to eat from? The man said The woman you put 210 00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:19,800 here with me, she gave me some, She gave me some fruits from the 211 00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:26,560 tree and I ate. Then take note of here God is 212 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:31,840 dealing with the 1 he extended a birth, the birthright to and as 213 00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:35,760 a result of their disobedience, when God was telling the 214 00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:39,760 consequence, He is addressing it to the beneficiary. 215 00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:45,320 Then God said, the Lord said to the woman, what is this you have 216 00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:48,240 done? The woman said, the serpent 217 00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:52,320 deceived me and I ate. So the Lord God said to the 218 00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:58,280 serpent, because you have done this casts are you above all the 219 00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:01,240 livestock and all the wild animals. 220 00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:05,720 You crawl on your belly and you eat dust all the days of your 221 00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:08,760 life. And I will put enmity between 222 00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:13,520 you and the woman, and between your offspring of hers will 223 00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:20,680 crush her heat, and you will strike his heel to the woman, he 224 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:25,040 said. I will greatly increase your 225 00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:34,720 pains in childbearing in with pain, with pain, with pain. 226 00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:39,760 You will give birth to children. Your desire will be for your 227 00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:43,000 husband and he will rule over you. 228 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:48,800 Adam, he said. Because you listen to your wife, 229 00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:54,600 and act from the three about, and adds from the three which I 230 00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:57,680 commanded you, You must not eat of it. 231 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:02,800 Cast is the ground because of you through painful tell. 232 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:07,080 You will eat of it all the days of your life. 233 00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:12,360 It will produce tongues and testoes for you. 234 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:19,080 Let me end here. So here you see that when God 235 00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:24,720 came and then He enquire and then he was responding or 236 00:23:25,120 --> 00:23:27,800 telling them the consequence of what they have done. 237 00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:32,880 From what we just read, you see that God addressed the serpent, 238 00:23:33,360 --> 00:23:42,080 God addressed Eve or the woman, and God address the man, God 239 00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:50,400 address the serpent, God address the woman, and God address the 240 00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:54,280 man. Now the question here is God is 241 00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:59,440 dealing with Adam now as a result of the disobedience that 242 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:05,400 came disobeying the instruction that is attached to his 243 00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:08,280 birthright. Now when God is telling them the 244 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:11,360 consequence of what he has done, He address all of them. 245 00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:17,560 What it means is that whenever we fail to maintain, to keep the 246 00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:22,360 instruction that is attached to our birthright, we will not only 247 00:24:22,360 --> 00:24:25,160 face or we will not only suffer the consequence. 248 00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:33,720 Hello, whenever we fail as people of God that He has given, 249 00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:39,320 He has extended His birthright to whenever we fail to obey, 250 00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:45,760 whenever we fail to adhere to the instruction attached to our 251 00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:49,200 birthright, we will not face the consequence alone. 252 00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:54,360 And survival is saying that as a result of what happened, He told 253 00:24:54,360 --> 00:24:58,000 the woman the suffering she will go through and He cares the 254 00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,120 serpent. So do not forget that the 255 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:06,240 serpent is ghost creation. And then he told Adam what he 256 00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:13,720 was also going to face as a result of the disobedience. 257 00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:15,240 I don't want to go deep into record. 258 00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:19,560 That's not my emphasis. And so as a result of the 259 00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:24,560 disobedience of Adam, as a result of the disobedience of 260 00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:33,480 Adam, he sold his birthright. He sold his birthrights and that 261 00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:41,960 of humanity to the serpent. As a result of the disobedience 262 00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:44,920 of Adam. Do not forget, when we talk 263 00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:50,560 about birthright, we are talking about authority, we are talking 264 00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:54,720 about responsibility, we are talking about steward ship. 265 00:25:55,520 --> 00:26:02,600 And so as a result of his disobedience, the benefits, the 266 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:10,120 glory that is attached to the birthright, he lost it. 267 00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:15,800 Amen. Amen. 268 00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:19,840 There is this song which says that. 269 00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:22,560 I think it's one of the Miracles song. 270 00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:36,040 I'll see Bibi Bibi. 271 00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:53,520 So that we are talking about it came about as a result of sin, 272 00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:59,320 because originally the plan God had for man was that man will 273 00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:03,360 enjoy eternity. Man will never experience death, 274 00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:06,440 Man will never experience sickness. 275 00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:13,600 But as a result of the disobedience of Adam by selling 276 00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:18,920 his birthright to the devil, his authority, his power, selling 277 00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:26,080 it, by doing that, he sold the birthright of humanity to the 278 00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:28,680 devil. And so whatever we are 279 00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:33,120 experiencing on this earth now as a result of suffering, as a 280 00:27:33,120 --> 00:27:38,680 result of sickness, as a result of troubles, challenges, is the 281 00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:45,920 consequence of our grandfather Adam, who sold the birthright 282 00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:50,440 unto the devil. Amen. 283 00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:56,360 Amen. And I want you read scriptures, 284 00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:00,720 Genesis chapter 25, verse 29 to 34. 285 00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:07,160 He talks about Esau. Maybe let me read. 286 00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:17,720 Once, when Jacob was cooking some Stew, Esau came in from the 287 00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:22,600 open country. Famished, he said to Jacob. 288 00:28:23,360 --> 00:28:30,480 Quick, let me have some of let me have some of that red steel. 289 00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:36,800 I'm famished. That is why he was also called 290 00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:39,400 Edom. Jacob replied. 291 00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:47,440 First, sell me your birthrights. Look, I am about to die, Esau 292 00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:53,640 said. What good is the birthright to 293 00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:58,320 me? But Jacob said swear to me 294 00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:01,960 first. So he swore an oath to him, 295 00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:09,120 selling his birthright to Jacob. Then Jacob gave Esau some bread 296 00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:16,360 and some lentil Stew. He ate and drunk and when and 297 00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:23,800 then got up and left. So Esau despised his birthright. 298 00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:30,200 Amen. So here we see Esau who was very 299 00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:35,480 hungry and then came to his brother Jacob and then requested 300 00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:38,960 for some food because he was very hungry. 301 00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:43,920 And Bible is saying that his brother Jacob told him, before I 302 00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:48,240 will give you the food, you need to sell your birthright to me. 303 00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:52,280 You need to sell your birthright to me. 304 00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:56,000 Why was Jacob interested in the birthright? 305 00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:04,960 What is so important about the birthright that if Jacob should 306 00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:09,520 require anything from his own brother, he should be his 307 00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:12,160 birthright? What has he had? 308 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:18,480 Praise the Lord. And the question here too is 309 00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:24,560 that Esau who owned the birthright, What did he know 310 00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:31,120 about the birthrights? What did Esau know about the 311 00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:35,440 birthrights? Could it be that Esau knew 312 00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:42,360 nothing about the birthrights? And so here we see two brothers 313 00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:47,200 having a conversation and the younger one who knows the 314 00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:49,720 blessings of the first son or the first? 315 00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:52,560 Yes, the blessings the first son carries. 316 00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:59,760 Your own brother comes to you require for food or demands for 317 00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:04,560 food and he gives him a condition and the first brother 318 00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:12,320 ISO the owner of the you cannot say the the birthright. 319 00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:17,400 Listen to his his response. What is birthright? 320 00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:23,080 What is birthright? Do not forget what we talk about 321 00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:25,120 belfry. We are talking about leadership, 322 00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:27,120 we are talking about stewardship. 323 00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:33,480 So from his response you could deduce that Esau will be a very 324 00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:40,320 foolish leader. I don't know if you agree with 325 00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:46,600 me. It is in time of difficulties, 326 00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:49,640 in time of challenges that you know who a good leader is. 327 00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:56,080 In time of difficult, the decisions you take is what makes 328 00:31:56,080 --> 00:32:02,040 you a responsible leader. And so when he found himself in 329 00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:09,400 a situation that he was dying of hunger, I want to believe maybe 330 00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:16,840 he stopped to think and all his intention, his attention was on 331 00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:20,440 the foot. And the Bible is saying that 332 00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:27,160 their brother requested him to swear on boots and he foolishly 333 00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:30,240 did. The rest of the story we know, 334 00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:34,480 but one thing I want us to take notice that as a result of that 335 00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:45,080 he lost his birthrights. So here we see Esau, who sells 336 00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:48,520 his birthrights. And then in Adam, in Adam's 337 00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:53,080 case, the Bible did not write that he sold, but you could see 338 00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:57,920 that from the action he took, from the disobedience, he sold 339 00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:00,640 his birthrights. Amen. 340 00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:04,880 Amen. So when you read the Bible, you 341 00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:11,000 could see that the blessings that was meant for Jacob, all 342 00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:17,800 these blessings were diverted to his brother as a result of the 343 00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:22,000 oath he took. So what it means is that when we 344 00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:28,120 talk about birthright, we are talking about authority in other 345 00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:32,080 ways. Birthright contains authority 346 00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:37,320 and power. And this is what God extended to 347 00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:40,800 Adam. And as a result of disobedience, 348 00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:44,600 they lost it. And we can see in the case of 349 00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:51,520 Esau and Jacob, Amen. Amen. 350 00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:56,480 And so if you read the instructions or what God told 351 00:33:56,560 --> 00:34:02,280 Adam, the serpent and Eve in the garden of Aden, and then you 352 00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:07,720 come to the New Testament one Paul said in Romans chapter 6 353 00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:11,520 verse 23. For the wages of sin is deaf for 354 00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:15,639 the wages of sin is deaf for the payment the reward of sin is 355 00:34:15,639 --> 00:34:18,280 deaf. It confirms what God said. 356 00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:25,719 What it means is that whenever one fails to keep to maintain 357 00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:33,280 his birthright, you will die. Do not forget that when we talk 358 00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:35,840 about birthright, it is given by God. 359 00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:42,320 And when God is given this birthright, God does not ask or 360 00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:47,639 enquire from anybody. So the birthright you have and 361 00:34:47,639 --> 00:34:51,760 the birthright I have, God did not enquire from anybody before 362 00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:53,239 He gave me or before He gave you. 363 00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:58,480 And so the birthright I have and the birthright you have, you are 364 00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:01,680 accountable to God and I am accountable to God. 365 00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:07,280 Praise the Lord. And so Paul put it clear. 366 00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:13,640 He says that for the wages of sin, whenever one fails to 367 00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:19,360 maintain the birthright, what it means is that that person has 368 00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:25,360 fallen, that person has sinned. And Paul is saying that whenever 369 00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:31,280 you get to this stage or you come into this stage, the reward 370 00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:34,640 you receive is death. You die. 371 00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:38,480 And you could see the instruction or what God told 372 00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:44,760 Adam and Eve and the serpent as a result of their disobedience. 373 00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:50,120 Amen. And so maybe let's regional 374 00:35:50,240 --> 00:35:54,320 Romans 620 downwards and we may understand better. 375 00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:59,880 When you were when you were slaves to sin, you were free 376 00:36:00,720 --> 00:36:03,200 from the control of righteousness. 377 00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:09,800 What benefit did you reap at that time from the things you 378 00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:15,160 are now ashamed of? Those things result in death, 379 00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:22,040 but now, but now that you have been set free from sin and have 380 00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:27,320 become slaves to God, the benefit you reap leads to 381 00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:32,680 holiness and the result is eternal life for the wages of 382 00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:40,400 sin is deaf by the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus. 383 00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:44,760 Amen. So the point we are putting 384 00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:49,200 across this morning is that whenever they believe our sins, 385 00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:58,200 whenever the believer sings, he sells, he exchanges, he 386 00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:03,640 exchanges his birthrights to that of the devil. 387 00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:11,280 Whenever the believer sings, he sells his birthrights to the 388 00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:15,760 devil. Whenever the believer sings, he 389 00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:19,040 exchanges his birthright to that of the devil. 390 00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:31,360 Whenever the believer sings, he can no more benefits, He can no 391 00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:39,120 more enjoy the blessings that is attached to the birthright. 392 00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:47,120 When man sowed his birthright, When man sowed his birthright to 393 00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:50,080 the devil. When I say that, what I mean is 394 00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:55,200 when man disobeyed God, God still loved man. 395 00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:02,480 When God, when man failed, disobeyed God and sow their 396 00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:11,680 birthright, God still loved man. And so when you read John 10, 397 00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:16,600 nine to 10 we talks about the reason why Jesus came. 398 00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:22,880 Then nine says that I am the guilt, whoever enters through me 399 00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:30,280 will be saved. And so here John is trying to. 400 00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:34,760 When you read the book of John, what we just read, do not forget 401 00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:38,440 we are talking about the fact that because of Adam, man has 402 00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:43,080 lost his birthrights. And as a result of our sins and 403 00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:47,640 the love of God for us, God sent his only beloved Son, Jesus 404 00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:52,400 Christ to come on the earth. And so when John was addressing 405 00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:57,560 or talking about, he is saying that I am the gates, Whoever 406 00:38:57,560 --> 00:39:01,880 enters through me will be saved. Hello. 407 00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:07,800 So he's addressing people who have lost their birthright, who 408 00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:12,560 have fallen, who are living in sin, who are in the Kingdom of 409 00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:14,880 darkness. How do you regain your 410 00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:18,240 birthright? And so he's saying that I am the 411 00:39:18,240 --> 00:39:21,600 gates. So what it means is that 412 00:39:22,240 --> 00:39:26,320 whenever one comes to the point of knowing and acknowledging 413 00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:32,040 that he has lost his birthright, he has lost his birthright. 414 00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:35,080 In other words, you are a Sinner in other ways. 415 00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:40,120 You have seen when you get to this point and you want to get 416 00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:45,520 up and recover your inheritance and take back your position. 417 00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:49,680 The book of John as you read is saying that I am the gate. 418 00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:54,720 This is Jesus speaking. Whoever enters through me will 419 00:39:54,720 --> 00:40:00,800 be saved. He will come in and go out and 420 00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:07,400 find pastures and I never stand. Jesus continues to say the thief 421 00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:12,280 comes only to steal and kill and destroy. 422 00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:17,560 I have come. That they may have life and have 423 00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:20,760 it in full. Amen. 424 00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:28,400 So Jesus is saying that he has come, that humanity may have 425 00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:32,320 life and have it in full. But you could see that from 426 00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:37,160 since creation, that time, the serpent, the serpent presented 427 00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:40,280 himself to humanity since that time. 428 00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:45,600 You could deduce that the serpent has no other work to do 429 00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:51,640 but to steal, kill and destroy. And So what it means is that 430 00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:55,880 since creation, it is since creation that the devil started 431 00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:59,040 this work of stealing, killing and destroying. 432 00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:07,280 And then unfortunately man fell into the hands of the devil. 433 00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:14,440 But when Jesus came, Jesus is declaring unto humanity, unto 434 00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:20,280 the world, I am the gates. So this morning I'm here to 435 00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:24,720 remind you, I'm here to draw your attention to the fact that 436 00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:32,240 God has created you in his likeness and he has given you 437 00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:40,040 authority and power. But as a result of man humanity 438 00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:45,640 selling their birthright, we became beneficiaries of that 439 00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:50,240 head cuts. Hello. 440 00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:54,960 But when you hear the word of God and you come to yourself, 441 00:41:54,960 --> 00:42:04,600 you come to your senses and you realize what God has made you, 442 00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:12,080 what God made you to be. You can take back your position. 443 00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:17,600 Amen. It is very unfortunate that at 444 00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:21,160 times some people may come to the saving knowledge of Christ. 445 00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:28,520 They are in the church, yet they believe that they need to do or 446 00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:31,840 live like worldly people in order for them to get to the 447 00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:36,600 peak of life. And that is why some people may 448 00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:40,080 come into the church. Some people may be saved all 449 00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:47,600 right, but somewhere, somehow, someway, somehow they end up 450 00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:52,160 selling their birthright. And this is what God has sent me 451 00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:59,960 this morning to come and tell you that the birthright that he 452 00:42:59,960 --> 00:43:06,280 gave to Adam, and then as a result of the disobedience, they 453 00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:10,160 lost it. And then we became beneficiaries 454 00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:14,560 of that result. But through the sacrifice of 455 00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:18,080 Jesus Christ, he has restored us. 456 00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:22,080 He has given us back our back, our birthright. 457 00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:26,360 And that is the reason why this morning, you and I, we have 458 00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:29,200 become people of God. We have become children of God. 459 00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:34,240 God has sent me to come and tell you this morning that do not 460 00:43:34,240 --> 00:43:41,720 sell that birthright again. God has sent me to come and tell 461 00:43:41,720 --> 00:43:47,280 you that the birthright he has given unto you as a result of 462 00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:52,960 the gift Jesus that he gave to humanity as a result of the 463 00:43:52,960 --> 00:44:01,080 sacrifice, do not sell it again. Amen. 464 00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:12,720 Do not sell it again. Do not sell it again. 465 00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:19,000 When you read the Bible, Second Corinthians chapter 5 verse 21, 466 00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:26,880 it says that God made him sin. God made him who had no sin to 467 00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:33,000 be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness 468 00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:39,520 of God. God made him who had no sin to 469 00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:45,320 be sin for us, so that's in him we might become the 470 00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:52,000 righteousness of God. And so Jesus, who knew not sin, 471 00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:58,800 in order for God to restore us back, in order for us to receive 472 00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:05,600 our birthright, God needed to give out His only begotten Son. 473 00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:09,000 John 316 For God so loved the world that he gave. 474 00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:14,600 And so the reason why God gave, that is what Paul is explaining 475 00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:17,480 here. God gave him so that he who had 476 00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:26,440 no sin, who had never sinned, he would take our sin so that we 477 00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:28,800 will have the righteousness of God. 478 00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:35,360 So from this we can deduce that without righteousness you cannot 479 00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:39,040 maintain your birthright. Hello. 480 00:45:41,240 --> 00:45:44,360 Without righteousness I cannot maintain my birthright. 481 00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:51,960 And so Bible says that because of the love he has for humanity, 482 00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:57,880 he made him. God made him who had no sin. 483 00:45:58,720 --> 00:46:02,760 Please, if possible, I want us to read the scripture together. 484 00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:18,430 Ready go our men, our men. 485 00:46:19,510 --> 00:46:21,630 And then maybe I will read my last scripture. 486 00:46:21,670 --> 00:46:24,550 Then I'll bring my message to a close. 487 00:46:25,310 --> 00:46:31,670 God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in Him we 488 00:46:31,670 --> 00:46:35,070 might become the righteousness of God. 489 00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:39,560 And do not forget, Paul also said again, now for the wages of 490 00:46:39,560 --> 00:46:44,720 sin is death. And so as a result of the sin of 491 00:46:44,720 --> 00:46:48,840 man, man should have died and then lost everything. 492 00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:54,000 And so when you study the life of Jesus when He came on this 493 00:46:54,040 --> 00:46:57,080 earth, do not forget. He came because of you and I. 494 00:46:57,480 --> 00:47:00,920 He came so that He will take our sins away. 495 00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:04,640 He came so that He will inherit our sins, so that we inherit His 496 00:47:04,680 --> 00:47:09,000 righteousness in the process of taking our sin. 497 00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:16,520 Maybe let's read Matthew chapter 27 verse 19 downwards when Jesus 498 00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:22,240 had brought all His work to a close and then He has told the 499 00:47:22,240 --> 00:47:26,800 disciples what He was to experience. 500 00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:32,760 And then the Bible is saying that as they were dining He even 501 00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:35,720 told them what will happen. He reminded them. 502 00:47:36,720 --> 00:47:46,480 And then Bible is saying that when He was arrested, Matthew 27 503 00:47:46,480 --> 00:47:53,080 verse 19, when He was arrested and they presented him to Pilot, 504 00:47:53,120 --> 00:47:56,280 because of time we cannot start from one. 505 00:47:57,120 --> 00:48:03,280 While Pilot was sitting on the Judges seat, his wife sent him 506 00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:07,760 this message. Don't have anything to do with 507 00:48:08,320 --> 00:48:14,320 that innocent man, for I have suffered a great deal today in a 508 00:48:14,320 --> 00:48:20,800 dream because of him. But the chief priests and the 509 00:48:20,920 --> 00:48:27,240 elders persuaded the crowd to ask for Barabbas and to have 510 00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:34,280 Jesus executed. Which of you 2 do you want me to 511 00:48:34,280 --> 00:48:39,160 release to you? Asked the governor Barabas. 512 00:48:39,400 --> 00:48:44,360 They answered. What shall I do then with Jesus 513 00:48:44,360 --> 00:48:47,560 who is called Christ? Pilate asked. 514 00:48:48,320 --> 00:48:52,960 They all answered, Crucify him? Why? 515 00:48:53,920 --> 00:48:58,000 What crime has he committed as Pilate? 516 00:48:59,040 --> 00:49:04,240 But they shouted all the louder. Crucify him. 517 00:49:05,680 --> 00:49:13,280 When pilots saw that he was getting no way but that instead 518 00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:20,000 an uproar was starting, he took water and washed his hands in 519 00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:24,240 front of the crowd. I am innocent of this man's 520 00:49:24,240 --> 00:49:29,480 blood, he said. It is your responsibility, all 521 00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:34,880 the people answered. Let his blood be on us and on 522 00:49:34,960 --> 00:49:40,600 our children. Then he released Barabbas to 523 00:49:40,640 --> 00:49:42,840 them. But he had. 524 00:49:43,320 --> 00:49:47,960 But he had. Jesus flogged and landed him 525 00:49:49,200 --> 00:49:55,360 over to be crucified. Then the governor's soldiers 526 00:49:55,360 --> 00:50:02,200 took Jesus into the Prietorium and guarded the whole company of 527 00:50:02,200 --> 00:50:08,480 soldiers around him. They stripped him and put a 528 00:50:08,480 --> 00:50:16,280 scarlet rope on him, and then twisted together a crown of 529 00:50:16,280 --> 00:50:24,720 tongues and set it on his head. They put a staff in his right 530 00:50:24,720 --> 00:50:30,360 hand and knelt in front of him and mocked him. 531 00:50:31,600 --> 00:50:34,920 Hail King of the Jews, they said. 532 00:50:36,080 --> 00:50:45,360 They spit on him and took the stuff and struck him on the head 533 00:50:46,200 --> 00:50:53,440 again and again. After they had mocked him, they 534 00:50:53,440 --> 00:50:58,680 took off the rope and put his own clothes on him. 535 00:51:00,920 --> 00:51:05,200 Then they led him away to crucify him. 536 00:51:06,920 --> 00:51:13,240 As they were going out, they met a man from Cyrene named Simon, 537 00:51:14,080 --> 00:51:16,560 and they forced him to carry the cross. 538 00:51:17,560 --> 00:51:23,040 They came to a place called Golgotha, which means the place 539 00:51:23,080 --> 00:51:29,080 of the school today. They offered Jesus wine to drink 540 00:51:29,960 --> 00:51:38,240 mixed with gold, but after tasting it he refused to drink 541 00:51:38,240 --> 00:51:41,200 it. When they had crucified him, 542 00:51:42,120 --> 00:51:48,760 they divided up his clothes by castle rods, and sitting down 543 00:51:50,160 --> 00:51:57,920 they kept watch over him. There above is the head, They 544 00:51:57,920 --> 00:52:00,320 placed the written charge against him. 545 00:52:01,680 --> 00:52:06,240 This is Jesus, the King of the Jews. 546 00:52:07,680 --> 00:52:12,600 Amen. I believe you all heard the 547 00:52:12,600 --> 00:52:16,560 Scripture. So this is what Jesus went 548 00:52:16,560 --> 00:52:24,400 through. This is what he went through in 549 00:52:24,440 --> 00:52:29,480 order to restore us. This is what Jesus went through 550 00:52:30,760 --> 00:52:36,240 in order for us to regain our birthright. 551 00:52:37,640 --> 00:52:40,640 And so when you read Bible is saying that they more treated 552 00:52:40,640 --> 00:52:44,360 him, they spot on him, they made mock of him as we read. 553 00:52:46,160 --> 00:52:50,440 What crime did he commit? What was his mistake? 554 00:52:51,680 --> 00:52:59,280 He did nothing wrong, but in other for us, in other for 555 00:52:59,280 --> 00:53:04,280 humanity to regain his birthright. 556 00:53:04,920 --> 00:53:07,600 The Bible say that he went through all these things. 557 00:53:10,480 --> 00:53:16,600 He went through all these things, and the surprising thing 558 00:53:16,600 --> 00:53:24,400 is that the people because of whom He came, they were the same 559 00:53:24,400 --> 00:53:32,520 people who were pursuing him, who were shouting crucify Him. 560 00:53:34,320 --> 00:53:39,000 The same people He came to save, They were the same people who 561 00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:41,760 were beaten, who were more treating Him. 562 00:53:44,160 --> 00:53:48,120 And the Bible is saying that He kept His silence. 563 00:53:49,360 --> 00:53:56,200 Why? So that you and I will regain 564 00:53:57,320 --> 00:54:00,680 our birthright? And the Bible is saying that 565 00:54:01,560 --> 00:54:06,720 when He went through all these things and then they hung him on 566 00:54:06,720 --> 00:54:13,640 the cross, and then he died on the third day He resurrected. 567 00:54:15,400 --> 00:54:22,040 And then when He resurrected and the Bible is saying that He has 568 00:54:22,120 --> 00:54:31,560 brought us salvation as a result of his resurrection, when Christ 569 00:54:31,600 --> 00:54:36,600 died, if he had not resurrected, we couldn't have regained our 570 00:54:36,720 --> 00:54:42,960 birthrights and Kaudia. They should just cut his head 571 00:54:43,480 --> 00:54:45,800 and then go and bury him and then on a teddy. 572 00:54:46,400 --> 00:54:50,840 And we know, but look at the process and when you study the 573 00:54:50,880 --> 00:54:54,640 Bible carefully, you could see that all the BTS, all the 574 00:54:54,680 --> 00:54:58,840 processes, the more treatment he went through, they all had 575 00:54:58,840 --> 00:55:01,400 meaning because of time. I would no go there. 576 00:55:02,200 --> 00:55:05,640 But you could see that as he was being more treated, he was 577 00:55:05,640 --> 00:55:09,480 dealing with our sicknesses. As he was being more treated, he 578 00:55:09,480 --> 00:55:12,240 was dealing with our sinful situations. 579 00:55:12,960 --> 00:55:17,240 And the Bible is saying that he has paid the price once and for 580 00:55:17,320 --> 00:55:21,760 all. He has paid a price once and for 581 00:55:21,760 --> 00:55:25,560 all. He has paid a price once and for 582 00:55:25,560 --> 00:55:29,240 all. And as a result of that, the 583 00:55:29,240 --> 00:55:36,760 Bible is saying that whosoever believes in this Son of God 584 00:55:37,360 --> 00:55:41,480 shall have eternal life. And I want to believe that it is 585 00:55:41,480 --> 00:55:46,560 because you have believed in him and I have believed in Him, in 586 00:55:46,560 --> 00:55:50,040 the salvific work He did on the cross. 587 00:55:50,720 --> 00:55:55,080 That is the reason why we have become the people of God, the 588 00:55:55,080 --> 00:55:58,640 children of God. Now that He has brought us into 589 00:55:58,640 --> 00:56:03,840 His Kingdom, now that He has brought us into His church, now 590 00:56:03,840 --> 00:56:08,920 that He has brought us into the lights, the message this morning 591 00:56:08,920 --> 00:56:12,640 is very simple. Now that He has given your 592 00:56:12,640 --> 00:56:18,800 birthright back to you. And sure that you do not sell 593 00:56:18,800 --> 00:56:26,080 your birthright again. Amen, Amen, Amen. 594 00:56:27,280 --> 00:56:35,120 Shall we be on our feet? Ensure that you do not sell your 595 00:56:35,120 --> 00:57:20,160 birthrights again.
