Message Title: Exposing the engrafted generation
There is nothing that can substitute the Word of God in the life of a believer. Above all things; God has exalted His Word and Name (Psalms 138:2). Above fasting and prayer, He has exalted His Name; holding on to this Word is holding on to His Name. The Word has a name, in Hebrew its pronounced Davar-Hashem but the scholars like to translate things. When the bible was translated we find it losing its original meaning. They will say the Word of God but when you go to Hebrew it says Davar Hashem which means name of God, but they say the Word. It’s not the Word of God but His Name. Holding on to His Word is holding on to His Name. The Word and the Name are the same. In Acts 19; we find the seven sons of Sceva, the bible says they evoked the name of Jesus on demons, but demons asked who they were. They were holding to the Name without the Word. The Word forms in you a new nature. We are not talking about implantation or engrafted. Scholars and translators of the bible use engraftment or implantation, but you can’t use that in the kingdom of God. When you implant or engraft you do it on top of something. They cut branches of the tree they want and plant on top of another stem that is without branches. This is what they call engraftment or implantation.
This begins by a covenant. When God brought a new covenant; He didn’t add on another one. He made the old obsolete to bring the new one (Hebrews 8:13). He didn’t add as scholars, when scholars translate they change; you must come by the Spirit to see an error. When the bible is translated from one language to the other, they write it in a way that will make sense and it will lose its meaning. The things of the Spirit can never be understood by a natural man (1 Corinthians 2:14). There was a time when God said to John no longer write but eat the book and carry the original (Revelations 10). Interpreting what is being said is not what is said.
2nd Corinthians 5v17 says if a man be engrafted in Christ and this is wrong. The old must die. How can the old be gone whilst it’s engrafted because when you are engrafted you keep both and throw nothing away? Many are keeping the useless tree and even the new. Planting the new on top of the old, causing the tree to not produce what it’s supposed to. You can dig up the tree and put things on the side to make it firm; before you know it the branches will be attached to the stem. This is engraftment. Jesus was not an addition to the first Adam; He was not called Adam but the second Adam (1 Corinthians 15:45). He came to finish the first Adam so that He will stand as a firm foundation. Death brings a new life, this new life can’t come in the old. We must not add. God does not add but makes the Spirit to be the foundation, He does not add on the flesh.
There is a level where you grow in the Spirit where God reveals to you what this is wrong. That’s why Paul says there are many who preach out of pure motives to enlarge the kingdom, and those with impure motives to make themselves known and gather people (Philippians 1:15). They will gather even those who are already saved. Now it’s no longer for the kingdom but it's manmade. So we must go back to the original. The flesh must be finished, the ‘you’ must die. We don’t give impartation, God does not impart but raises up; it is not engrafting. So God must raise you up the same way the Israelites took long way around. The journey to Canaan was an eleven days journey but it was turned to 430 years. Why was God doing this? He was finishing the knowledge they had of Egypt. If He took them like that; they were going to live in Canaan the same way they lived in Egypt. Just like Moses; when he was born; he was removed from his family; the Hebrews and adopted by Pharaoh's daughter (Exodus 2). He spent forty years in Egypt but when God wanted to use him, He didn’t put oil on the old; He made him go through forty years in the wilderness. What was this forty years for? God finished the prince in him and raised up a Prophet.
Many don’t last today in marriages and businesses, they are an engrafted generation. They don’t want to finish the old, that is why when you come with your old knowledge and want to receive from God you don't get anything. He has to remove the previous experience and make you to be pure and new, but many don’t want to take the Word alone, they strategize. God is not man and He is not an author of confusion (Numbers 23:19). He can’t say separate today then tomorrow say join. The implantation generation is a generation that is always in a hurry. Anyone who is in a hurry to receive from God will miss Him. Your will either receive from the world or devil. It’s only in the kingdom of the devil where there is no process of being born again. You join today and tomorrow they give you a task. Not in the kingdom of God; here we are produced, regenerated. Sometimes God interferes in what men does and comes out with His own. No one can be a child of God except they die to the first man but many don’t want to die. They say to God engraft us, impartation. In God death must take place. We are talking about new birth.
Scripture reading: John 3v3-6 (AMP)
Did Jesus say unless a person grows in the kingdom? Did you know it was possible for Jesus to say a man must change his mind about the kingdom and the first question Nicodemus was to ask was which scripture? But Jesus brings something Nicodemus did not understand. He says except a man be born again. You can’t understand what it means to be born again unless you go through the process of birth. How is one born from the beginning? Then we go back to the subject and process of being born.
When a man and woman meet, it starts from a seed, 1st Corinthians 15 speaks of the seed; that except it dies it can’t bring life. A seed is produced then given to a woman. From a woman it travels through fallopian tubes; that’s why there is possibility of fertilization to not take place. It is not all intercourse that leads to pregnancy. A man can have low sperm count. For the seed to fertilize the egg; it takes 24 hours, that’s why there is a morning after pill that disrupt the egg. Scientist has developed this pill because they know it takes 24 hours. These fallopian tubes are like hands holding the egg. The sperm must be alive for 24 hours. If they say the sperm died it means it couldn't reach 24 hours. Even when you are born again you don’t say Jesus enter my life then you just become born again. You can’t understand the process of being born again except you know about birth. The seed had to travel 24 hours but there is a possibility for fertilization not to take place because along the way as the seed travels something may happen. There is a uterus wall in the woman that’s responsible of holding the oval when it’s fertilized. When the seed comes and fertilizes the egg, when the egg reaches the uterus wall and find the woman about to enter the cycle of menstruation the egg might be destroyed. There are times when the woman, who is either married or active in sexual matters, will find strange things during her cycle; that might be the uterus wall breaking. The wall must break so that a new one must come, nothing must be left. 3 days from a woman finishing her cycle they call it safe period. This means fertilization can't take place as the oval and uterus wall have to form again. Let’s say the egg is fertile it will travel again and not find the wall it will be destroyed, causing another cycle after a cycle.
When the fetus develops from an embryo it starts as a tiny thing that looks like a worm. It means even Spiritually there are those who are not yet sons, the only way to understand being born again is to understand the process of birth, meaning the same process of being born need to happen in the womb of your spiritual shepherds. That’s why people who change churches never grow. Paul in Galatians 4 said my little children of whom I travail with labor pains 'till Christ is fully formed, meaning you are being taught, carried in the womb. A spirit is being given birth unto. In the processes correction and rebuke must take place. You cant understand new birth except you understand birth. When pregnancy reaches 6 months, the embryo turns into a fetus that’s why some children can be born in such time. The remaining three months is for a fetus to be a human being all this in the womb, formation takes place in 6 months time; the child in the womb has brain and eyes but not full yet in that state. It will take 3 more months for fully matured growth. Complication in the child takes place in the last quarter, which is 3 months that is very dangerous and important. The brain can be affected. Formation must complete without interruption. After 40 weeks its no longer a fetus but a baby, ready to come to the world. It takes nine months to be born how much more can it be to be born again. For a child to be born it’s the price of waiting in the womb of the mother. For you to be born again it takes the amount and time you're willing to spend in the presence of God. You have to come to church listen to the Word because formation takes place.
When a child is born the process of birth is not over. The child has to be taught to see and talk because it is still a child not yet a person, that’s why Paul says when I was a child my speech and reasoning was that of a child but when I matured I threw away childish things (1 Corinthians 13:11). That’s why there are those who are born again yet still reason like babies, like they are still in the womb. There are times when a child doesn’t want to walk and this is where pressure on the flesh must be used to bring understanding. As we gather, we are in different levels. There is a time when a child is taught and a time when a child is beaten, this is a process of bringing to maturity not of birth The whole process is important in being born again. Until the child can take themselves to the bathroom and walk then s/he is ready for the world. When he start to get injuries then you know that he is ready for the world. Its important to understand the issue of new birth, that one must be willing to remain in the presence of the Most High if he is going to finish the process of birth. When you are matured and live for God, you're no longer living for yourself but for Christ, thats where maturity is (Galatians 2:20).
The kingdom must be experienced. There are those who don’t want to experience the kingdom but have super daddies who do everything for them. This is why Paul says we preach ourselves as servants but Christ as Lord but one can preach himself as lord and Christ as a servant until congregants depend on him than Christ (2 Corinthians 4:5). One must be born anew to see and experience the kingdom, it is not about going to church and coming back the same. When you go to church and come back the same then you refused the processes of new birth, you preferred impartation than new birth. When you prefer new birth you must desire to walk with God for yourself, then it’s a sign that you are willing to go through new birth. Like new born babies’ you have to crave Spiritual milk, which is the Word (1 Peter 2:2). There are some who don’t crave the Word but crave deliverance and they remain the same, without growth. You must desire birth. In this new birth before it reaches new life there is a process. When you have just received new birth you must be trained and it grows to become new life.
Today’s generation delights in implantation. They don't want new birth, they dislike it, that’s why today when a person doesn’t like what they look like they do implantation. Which is a process of adding things to make the nose straight but in Christ we don’t place things we cause the nose to grow so that it may look like of Christ. You want implantation because you are a black man looking for a nose of a white man, but in Christ we remove the old to create the new one. In Christ though implantation is possible, God prefers growth -the process of new birth. Go and grow not be engrafted. If you are engrafted then something will be added on you. Finish the first. We cant mix the life of the Spirit and of the flesh, you will lose both of them. Those who are implanted their lives go in direction that is wrong. They are doing implantation for they are not ready to go through process of new birth. We must be ready to go through process of new birth. As a new born baby desire spiritual milk so you may grow. What is spiritual milk? The Word. If you don’t desire this you will not enter or experience the kingdom of God. People will enter and you will live to clap hands for those who experience it. Like people in a football match. Just like Christians of today, they live as spectators, to come to church and sit down, clapping hands for prophecy and deliverance; no we must become part of it. Don’t come to church to be a spectator. Disciples should be raised so that they grab and manifest the life they are taught. You go out and preach the Word and reveal mysteries where people will wonder; and you can't speak without power. The Pharisees hated Jesus because He taught with power. You must teach and demonstrate what you teach. So you must do the practical not only theory. We are not coming here to be told about Jesus like storytellers but we are here to witness the gospel of Christ. The same life that was in Him we must see it in our lives. When He teaches people will say it’s a hard teaching, this is a sign that is the Christ, the Spirit that can't be known (John 6:60). One must desire to grow.
People don’t want to grow but become fans of pastors, prophets and apostles. They come to clap hands. The time must come when people do the same for you. Christianity is different. Now we preach the life not callings. One can do all things that a prophet or apostle can do because of the Spirit, it’s not about title but the life.
Desire to grow Spiritually. Desire to live a new life. Desire to be obedient to the Word, afterall its not about getting healing or deliverance but there is a heaven to make. Jesus is coming back. We are preparing for the coming of Jesus. We must do what the Word says we must do. We must be obedient to God not because we want blessings but because we desire a relationship than things. Don’t go to church like people going to work. Many work not because they love work but they love money. Don’t take the same mindset and come to God like a servant and receive from God and still die. What is the use of coming to church and receive and after that you perish, you lose your soul? We are here to be preserved by the Word. The Word brings blessing simultaneously with the salvation of our souls. There are people who don’t want the time of the Word, they want prophesies and healing. This is impartation ,engrafted. You must see the difference between you in the world and now in Christ, if you can be treated the same way you were when in the world then its waste.
Grow up and go for fellowship so that you enquire of God for yourself. Then you can go to your father for confirmation, this is eternal life. When you know God you have eternal life (John 17:3). When you have eternal life you can't perish. Many will perish because they come to church like going to watch football. This is a lifestyle. When people add on the previous life it is implantation. In this kingdom the mind of the world is taken out, we bring in the mind of God. You cant keep the old and mix it with the new. The old must be finished, and once its finished new life will be a solution to the problems you're facing. The bible says your gift will open doors for you, meaning what is in you; you no longer go door to door looking for solution, but look inside of you (Proverbs 18:16). God wants us to become partakers of His divine nature. You can’t find God praying or wishing, He does not even stress. God is a Spirit (John 4:24). Some of us even the devil is better than us because he does not give up or murmur, he endures. He doesn’t move away from people because he knows that you have engrafted birth. God wants to regenerate this generation to come after Him, to delights in seeing what ordinary eyes can’t see. He is calling us to leave the life of stress and emotions. He wants us to be removed from this life. Let your yes be yes and no be no. We must come here for God. It is God whom we must make friendship with not pastors. When we go to church we must not go to church like we are going to soccer game or mall. We must come to God as we are coming to Him. Many come and miss God because He sees all that man has in the heart. God is tired of being used, Holy Spirit is here. God is more interested in your fellowship with Him more than all these things. We are here for the Word. We don’t compromise Christ for the sake of titles. God is not a respecter of titles. It must be God who must maintain us. We must depend on Him; and we must never compromise to do the will of God no matter what it costs us.
TO GOD BE THE GLORY!!!!!
