Greetings church. We are in for
another exciting time in God’s

word. You know, every time we
approach God’s word, we must

realize that God’s word is God
breathed. In other words, all the

writers of the holy scripture of
the Bible, be it in the Old

Testament or the New Testament,
they are all inspired, God

breathed into them. And that word
there is ‘God-breathed’, the same

breath that gave man life, God
breathed into His scriptures. So,

the scriptures have God’s essence
in it. Therefore, it is a word

that doesn’t only speak to them
at that time when they lived back

then, but it’s speaking to us
today. And every time we come to

God’s word, it is so relevant. It
is a now word, you know, and it’s

amazing that from one passage the
Lord can give us a revelation

about a situation that we are in.
And it can be very specific, you

know, for us it’s like God is
saying, “This is the word for

you’.” And we are hearing God in
the scriptures. Praise the Lord.

That’s the number one way that
God leads us. Praise the Lord.

People are looking for voices
elsewhere. That’s dangerous

because the Bible says the devil
can impersonate as an angel of

light and give us revelations but
you know, things that the devil

reveals will always be things
that will glorify ourselves. But

the devil will never glorify
Jesus Christ, always remember

that, okay? And the devil’s
purpose will always be to mar and

tarnish the glory of Christ. I
want to share with all of you

something that the Lord revealed
to me just recently and the Lord

wants me to have this perspective
about His church, His church. The

Lord Jesus Christ gave His life
for the church. The Bible says,

“He gave Himself for the church.”
Amen. Yes, He died for whole

world but there is a scripture
that specifically says, “He gave

Himself for the church.” What is
the church? The church is not a

building where people come
together and worship God. It may

manifest itself in the building,
but the church is the

many-membered body of Christ, and
it’s the most successful and

eternal organization, if I can
put it that way, living,

breathing organization that God
has created. And the mystery of

the church was hidden in the Old
Testament, revealed to the

Apostle Paul of whom God gave him
the fullest revelation about the

church. And every time you think
about the church, the devil for

so long has sort of like clouded
the church. When you hear the

word ‘church’, straight away you
think of an old building, organ

music, you know. People that look
drab, dreary, dull, you know, but

nothing could be further from the
truth. God’s church is the place

where all the fullness of His
Holy Spirit with the seven-fold

manifestation of His Holy Spirit,
as well as all the gifts. And for

example, one gift is called the
gifts of healings. It’s plural,

gifts, many gifts of healings,
all kinds of healings is

available. Where? In the church.
Another gift is the gift of

working of miracles, this is
beyond healing diseases and

things that even supernatural
cancellation of your financial

debt, that is in the area of the
gift of working of miracles. God

can just cause miracles, even in
the weather around us. And God

can cause this to happen again
even today because the gifts have

never ceased. And anyone that
tries to tell you that is not

quoting the Bible accurately.
They probably use 1 Corinthians

13 that says, “Prophesies will
fail, you know tongues shall

cease”, but what they fail to
tell you is that when the perfect

is come then these things will
cease, when we see Jesus face to

face. The perfect has not yet
come, my friend. The gifts are

still needed today. If the early
church needed the gifts of the

Holy Spirit, how much more we
need the gifts of the Holy Spirit

today? For example, the gifts of
healings, I see so many people

making prayer requests online, as
well as, you know, personally for

people that they love, that they
care for, who are sick. They want

prayer for them. And so many of
the needs, I would say that the

greater part of the needs of the
body of Christ today is in the

area of physical healing. And
that’s why I’m sharing what I

shared for these past weeks in
this regard. So, it’s important

for us to realize that God has
given us provisions in the body

of Christ. It’s all found in the
body of Christ. The Bible says in

the book of Acts, Acts chapter 4,
it says that “And with great

power gave the apostles witness
to the resurrection of the Lord

Jesus and great grace was upon
them all.” Notice when great

grace was upon them all, they
gave witness with great power to

the resurrection of the Lord
Jesus. Great grace, great power.

Say that, ”Great grace, great
power”. And the Bible goes on to

say, “Nor was there anyone among
them who lacked,” none of them

lacked in the early church. So
that’s our pattern, that’s what

we have in mind. You know when
God spoke to Moses to build the

Tabernacle in the wilderness,
more than three times God said,

“See that you make it according
to the pattern. See that you make

it according to the pattern you
see in the mountain.” Pattern of

what? Pattern of what you see in
a vision, in the mountain, Mount

Sinai, you see the pattern of
heaven and how the Tabernacle is

patterned after the heavenly
pattern. Praise the Lord. So just

like the presence of God, the
throne of God is the Ark of the

covenant, then there is a lever
which is a sea of glass. Okay and

then the Bible tells us the Lamb
is as if when John saw Him, in

the Book of Revelation, he saw
Him like a lamb which was just

slain. Because with God there is
no time. The cross of Jesus

Christ is always fresh to God,
Amen. When we come for communion,

we must come with the kind of
spirit and expectancy to receive

as if Jesus just died just now.
Jesus just gave His life for us

just now. He bore our sins, as
well as our diseases, just now.

We come with a freshness, Amen,
not like He died two thousand

years ago and we confine with
time and all that. No, but with

God there is no time. Praise the
Lord. And also, in the church, we

find that all kinds of gifts God
has put in the church. Not in the

world, but in the church.
Therefore, I can go on to talk

about like last week what we see,
“The righteous shall flourish

like the palm tree, and they will
grow like the cedar of Lebanon

and those that are planted in the
house of the Lord…’, and that’s a

New Testament reference right
there. After Psalms 91 is a New

Testament reference that those
who are righteous are righteous

with the righteousness of God in
Christ. They will grow like

cedars in Lebanon. Then it says
these people are planted in the

house. What is the house of the
Lord today? The church of Jesus

Christ, and the expression of the
church is always in a local

assembly, in a local church. You
know we can talk about the

universal church and all that,
yes of course. Everything, there

are principles that govern the
entire universal church but the

practicality and where God is
focused on, the Lord is focused

on, is the local assemblies. In
every local assembly, each one

has a glory. Let me finish off
that verse, it says, “Those that

are planted in the house of the
Lord,” what will happen to them?

“They will flourish…” where? “…in
the courts of our God,” –

outside. When you are planted in
your local church, in the local

assembly, Amen, in the church,
that’s when you flourish. You

flourish outside there in the
courts of God. Okay, in 2

Corinthians 8, it says, “If
anyone enquires about Titus, he

is my partner and fellow worker
concerning you. Or if our

brethren are enquired about.” So,
notice that, “If anyone enquires

about Titus, he is my partner.”
So, Titus is not just someone in

the body of Christ, he is
actually Paul’s gospel partner,

“And fellow worker concerning
you. Or if our brethren are

enquired about, they are
messengers of the churches, the

glory of Christ.” Notice what the
Bible, the Holy Spirit is saying

that the churches, definitely is
referring to the local churches.

The local churches is the glory
of Christ. What a precious

thought that God wants us to
think of the local church as the

glory of Christ. Therefore, do
you know that the devil wants

always to tarnish the glory of
Christ? You know when the church

is under attack, and there are
local troubles and even strife

and things that we find that we
have to handle in every local

church, you know, they all have
their own challenge and trials,

but the uniqueness of the local
church is this — that when they

overcome in that trial, there is
a light that shines. Now there is

a testimony and there is a wisdom
that comes because you went

through that trial. So regardless
of what the devil is doing, you

might feel like he is attacking
you or attacking your family

because you are in the local
church and all that but always

remember he is going after the
glory of Christ. He doesn’t want

Christ’s glory to be seen. And
what is the local church? The

glory of Christ. Amen. And when
you look at the breastplate of

the high priest, you will find
that there are twelve precious

gems, precious stones. There’s
ruby, there’s diamond, there’s

amethyst, there’s emerald, all
kinds. And I have a teaching on

this. We have shared before that
your name is on the breastplate

of the high priest, and who is
our High Priest today? Our Lord

Jesus Christ. In heaven today, He
bears you where? On His heart,

because the breastplate… Notice
breast, breast is the place of

love. It’s on His heart. Amen.
You’re so close to His heart. And

that’s why revelation comes,
wisdom comes, light and, you

know, enlightenment comes when
you behold His heart for you.

Amen. Because the urim and the
thummim, which are the lights and

perfections that give direction
to the people, the kings of

Israel in times past, they would
seek the high priest to hear from

the urim and thummim, lights and
perfections. It shines from the

breastplate of the high priest.
But if you notice that the twelve

tribes, they are represented by
different precious gems or

stones. Like for example. you
have Judah, then you have

Issachar, then you have Zebulun,
you have different ones and

different rows, and they are all
represented by different

gemstones, different precious
stones. What’s that saying to us?

If you think of it, even though
we can say that we individually

are on the heart of Christ. But
the Lord wants us to think more

that we are there in our local
churches. Why, why do I say that?

Because notice it is not our
name, it’s not the name of a

specific person, but the name of
the tribes that are engraved on

the stones of the breastplate.
So, the names of the twelve

tribes are engraved there, not
individuals in the tribe. That

tells us that God wants us to
think of ourselves in the local

church. Just like there are
twelve tribes of Israel, but they

all make one Israel. There’s
unity with diversity. So, all the

local churches they have a ray of
light, a ray of glory if you

would, the glory of Christ that
is unique with another local

assembly. And none of us are
complete in ourselves to reflect

all the glory of Christ. No, we
are inter-dependent, and each one

has a strength that the other one
doesn’t have, each one has a

beautiful ray of glory of Christ
that the other one doesn’t have.

But together we see the fullness
of His beauty and His glory,

hallelujah! Praise the Lord,
praise God. And that’s where the

Lord has us. The local church is
so close to His heart. And that’s

why He has seven different
messages that He spoke to seven

different churches. And these are
local churches in the book of

Revelation. Or else just one
sermon would suffice if God

thinks all the time about
universal church. But no, God’s

heart is beating, so close to the
local churches. Praise the Lord.

They are so close to His heart.
Hallelujah, and this is something

that I want you to think. Every
time you think of your local

church, praise the Lord, be
rooted in it because the local

church is the glory of Christ.
Hallelujah! And every local

church together, alright, every
local church has a strength, has

a beauty that another does not
have. But together we manifest

the light of the glory of Christ
in all His glories and

perfections. Praise the Lord. Now
church, the devil wants to stop

that. But what a precious thought
it is for us to know that all the

troubles in the local church is
the devil trying to mar the glory

of Christ. Once we realize that,
we put ourselves in a position to

see Christ glorified. We are not
in this for our own name or our

own local assembly or our own
families to be exalted or

glorified. We are all out to
glorify Jesus Christ, Amen? And

if that is our motive, we are in
the flow with the Holy Spirit and

His purposes. Praise God, thank
you Jesus. And you will prosper

in all that you do because you
are in line with what God is

doing in the local church. Now
all the attacks of the enemy is

the same, you know. People ask me
the question, you know,

sometimes, “What do you think,
Pastor Prince? Russia has

attacked Ukraine.” and things
like that, you know. Remember

early this year when I was
sharing the first three Sundays

on the theme of the year, the
year of Rest and Acceleration? In

the second Sunday in January, I
shared about you will hear, this

verse will be more practical for
this year than ever. I said that

it keep on rising up in my
spirit, that’s how I start

sharing it. And in the second
Sunday I shared this, and I said

this from Matthew 24, this verse
keeps on coming up, “And you will

hear of wars and rumours of wars.
See that you are not troubled;

for all these things must come to
past, but the end is not yet.”

And I said that this is verse
keeps on rising in my spirit

early this year when I shared on
the theme of the year. And I said

that, you know, you will see of
wars and you will hear

sabre-rattling, and, but the
point that God wants us to see is

this, Jesus says, “See that you
be not troubled. See that you be

not troubled.” And all these will
happen, but He goes on to say

that, “This is not the end.”
People ask, is this the beginning

of the tribulation? No, it’s the
beginning of birth pangs, but not

the Great Tribulation, it is not,
Amen. In fact, if you go on all

the way, you’ll find Jesus says
that, “For nation will rise

against nation, kingdom against
kingdom. There’ll be famines,

pestilences, plagues and
earthquakes in various places.

All these are the beginning of
sorrows.” Now look at verse 6,

“See that you be not troubled.”
You will hear of wars, rumours of

wars, “See that you be not
troubled; for all these things

must come to past. But the end is
not yet.” Let me say that again,

“The end is not yet.” You know
when the Lord talks about the

end, the disciples are well aware
about the end, they all know it

as the Day of the Lord. Even
Isaiah the prophet prophesies a

lot about the Day of the Lord.
So, when the Lord says, the end,

they knew what the end is. In
fact, they came asking Him the

question. “Now as He sat on the
Mount of Olives, the disciples

came to Him privately saying,
‘Tell us when will these things

be, and what would be the sign of
Your coming and of the end of the

age?’” Notice ‘when will these
things be, what will be the sign

of Your coming, and of the end of
the age’. Jesus answered and said

to them, “Take heed that no one
deceives you. For many will come

in My name saying, ‘I am the
Christ.’” Now I want to share

with you something that God put
on my heart. In fact, some of

these truths that I’m sharing
with you is something God

revealed to me, and I’ve shared
on this some years ago. I

remember… I think the title was
about the Four Horsemen. And in

fact, it is our most requested
teaching during that time. But

God has revealed even more, and
today I want to step deeper into

this. And I’m very excited when
God unveiled this to me, and I

want you to receive it, Amen.
Praise the Lord. I love feeding

the church, I love feeding the
flock of God. And every time God

reveals to me something that is
good, I’ll make sure that you

receive it. Praise the Lord,
hallelujah. Now, if you look

carefully at the first sign,
Jesus says, “Take heed that no

one deceives you. For many will
come in My name saying, ‘I am the

Christ’, and will deceive many.”
Let’s put it on a list, okay. The

first sign to look for is false
Christ, and I put down there:

teaching. So first of all, we
know that there will be an

anti-Christ, the anti-Christ.
There will be one anti-Christ.

And yet in John’s time, John says
there are many anti-Christ

already during this time, he says
that. But there will be one

anti-Christ that will come in the
future. And yet there is a form,

you know, it’s like a sign tells
you something is going to happen.

Right? Just like in America, for
example, you drive down the

street and you see all the
decorations in the malls and all

that for Christmas. Then you know
if they are decorating for

Christmas, you know Thanksgiving
will come first. So, whenever you

see the signs are pointing to the
coming of the Lord, and I’m

referring not to the rapture
here, I’m referring to, the

rapture will happen first, I’m
referring to Jesus coming back,

Amen. There will be judgment and
He will set this world right,

okay. I’m talking about that
time. But you know that the

rapture will happen first. Amen,
just like Thanksgiving will

happen before Christmas. So, here
we see the beginning of birth

pains. Jesus said it like this in
Matthew 24, “All these are the

beginning of sorrows, all these
are the beginning of sorrows.” Or

one translation says it, “The
beginning of birth pains,” and

that reflects more of the Greek
word there, the beginning of

birth pains. When a woman, you
know it is time for her to

deliver, she will have birth
pangs. Don’t believe for pains,

okay. Birth pangs, okay. And as
the hour arrives that she is to

deliver, it gets, the birth pangs
get shorter and shorter, the

time. So, we see a lot of things
are happening, back to back, back

to back now. So, we know that
yes, the end is near, and we know

the Lord Jesus will have to come
back for us first. Amen. We are

not going through the
tribulation. So, this Russia

attacking Ukraine and all that is
not a sign that we are already in

the tribulation. But I just don’t
feel at this time that that’s

going to happen. I want to go on
to share with you some things

that the Lord has just shared
with me to feed you with. Praise

the Lord. So, the first thing
Jesus says is false Christ. Now

false Christ, in a way that there
will be a false Christ. But

today, look out for false
teachings. Amen, teachings that

oppose Christ. Anything that
doesn’t point to Christ is false,

okay. Just like the false Christ.
So, I put down here: false

teaching. The second sign that
Jesus says in Matthew 24, is ‘you

will hear of wars, and rumours of
wars’. So, number two is wars.

Now, wars is the big thing,
right. You know there are bombs

being used and carnage and we
don’t want to be in a war, okay.

But a lower form of war can be
our daily life, strife with

someone, quarrels, husbands and
wives, children with their

parents and parents with their
children, and inter-relationships

and all that. So that’s a form of
war. So, I put down here: strife.

The next sign that Jesus said
will happen, and notice it’s all

sequential here, “And there will
be famines, pestilences and

earthquakes in various places.”
So next sign He says is: famine,

which is what? Lack. That’s the
next sign, okay. The next sign is

famine. Famine means lack, in a
milder form it is lack. Today we

see this spirit is working. So,
it is the same evil spirit that

is causing all these. In its
greatest form, it is gonna be

war. In its lower form, okay,
strife. Okay? So, it’s the same

thing, in the ultimate form, it
would be the anti-Christ, in a

daily form it is gonna be false
teaching. So likewise, for

famine. What’s famine? Famine is
a big thing, right? It is a big

event, usually it covers large
territories and large swaths of

land, okay. But in the daily
perspective, it is lack, when you

suffer from lack. So, it is the
work of an evil spirit, I’m gonna

come to that later. Then the next
sign Jesus says is, after famine

is pestilences and earthquakes in
various places. So, we come to

the next one on the list,
pestilences and earthquakes, and

of course with pestilence,
plagues and all that, there’s

disease and death, okay. Disease
and death. And what is

interesting is that a number of
years ago, God opened my eyes to

see the parallel between what
Jesus said in sequence with

Revelations chapter 6. In
Revelations chapter 6, the Bible

says, “Now I saw when the Lamb
opened one of the seals and I

heard one of the four living
creatures saying with a voice

like thunder, ‘Come and see.’ And
I looked and behold, a white

horse…” A what? “A white horse,
and he who sat on it had a bow

and a crown was given to him and
he went out conquering and to

conquer.” Now this rider on the
white horse, he has a crown. A

crown was given to him and he
went forth conquering. Notice he

has a bow, but he has no arrow.
He has a bow, but he has no

arrow. In other words, he has a
form but not the substance, not

the impact that the arrow, which
is a picture of the word of God.

He has a false appearance, he is
a false Christ; he is a false

teacher, he gives false
impressions. And just by sheer

being, he can threaten you as if
he has an arrow, but he only has

a bow. But notice there is
something mentioned here: there

was a crown, and a crown was
given to him. Now very

interesting, when the Latin Bible
came out, the Vulgate, they

translated the crown in Latin,
‘crown’ is the word ‘corona’. It

is also the ancient Greek, not
the Koine Greek. Koine Greek is

stephanos, but in the ancient
Greek, it’s also corona. In

French it’s also coronae,
alright. So, it’s very

interesting, I just thought it’s
gonna be interesting. Am I saying

this is the corona virus? I do
not know, alright. It could very

well be. What if it’s saying that
the corona virus is going to

cause a lot of false teachings to
emerge? We have to be careful,

church, even right now we are
hearing teachings talking about

the end times and all that,
that’s causing people a lot of

fear. If it causes fear, my
friend, it is not God. Faith

comes by hearing and hearing by
the word of Christ. So, if that

word that you hear, you think is
the word of Christ, it should

produce faith, not fear. Now you
ask, “But Pastor Prince, why are

you sharing all these things? And
where is the food here?” I’m

coming to it. Once you understand
and establish all these things,

you will see what is the answer.
Even for you and your family,

Amen, for you and your own
personal needs, there is an

answer in this sharing here
today, because God gave me this

word for you. But first let’s see
the parallel first. And so, the

white horse. So, the very first
thing put on that list, right,

rider on the white horse. See the
parallel now, the next one is,

“When He opened the second seal,
I heard the second living

creature saying, ‘Come and see.’”
Now, notice it is all sequential.

This is the second seal. “Another
horse, fiery red went out, and

there was granted to the one who
sat on it to take peace from the

earth, and that people should
kill one another. And there was

given to him a great sword.” Now
this is the fiery red horse that

brings war. All these horses are
evil spirits. I’m gonna show you

later from the book of Zechariah
that all these are spirits. The

Bible says that they are spirits.
All these horses are spirits,

Amen, they are principalities of
darkness. Wherever they go they

bring all these things that the
Bible says they will bring. If

it’s white horse, it’s false
teaching; if it’s red horse, it

is war. In a daily manner, this
spirit is attacking a local

church or a family. It will be a
sense of strife, causing, you

know, division and causing
misunderstandings, strife. The

next one in Revelation 6, “When
he opened the third seal, I heard

the third living creature say,
‘Come and see.’ So I looked, and

behold, there was a black horse,
and he who sat on it had a pair

of scales in his hand.” Now a
pair of scales is talking about

commerce, so this spirit brings
famine. He brings lack. By the

way, they are horses because when
they bring it, they bring it very

fast, almost like no fear, they
will charge right into battle and

they travel fast, okay? So these
things are going to happen –

famine means a lack. You know if
you are suffering lack and if you

are always suffering lack,
probably you are under attack by

this spirit. And there’s an
answer that God has for you,

praise the Lord. So the next
thing we put onto the list,

exactly what Jesus said in
sequence. After the wars and

strife, he talks about famine,
that is a rider on the black

horse. Then we come to the fourth
one. “When Jesus opened the

fourth seal, I heard the voice of
the fourth living creature say,

‘Come and see.’ So I looked, and
behold, a pale horse.” Now this

word “pale” is a very
interesting word. It’s the word

chloros in Greek. Now chloros
where you get chlorophyll; it’s

not just pale, it’s the color of
death. You know after someone

dies if you know, I know it
sounds morbid and all that, but

if you look at a person after he
died for a few days, you know he

turns green, you know. Even after
a day, he will turn green –

greenish pale, it’s not just
pale, it’s a greenish pale.

Chloros, where you get the word
green, chlorophyll – chloros; a

pale horse. “And the name of him
who sat on it was Death, and

Hades followed with him. And
power was given to them over a

fourth of the earth, to kill with
sword, with hunger, with death

and by the beasts of the earth.”
So the next one is, as put on the

list: rider on the pale green
horse. Now all this sounds

negative and all that, you say
that “Pastor, I don’t want to

camp down here.” Yea, I agree
with you. But you know, when God

reveals to us, it is always for
us to receive wisdom from Him, so

that we know with spiritual
intelligence how to handle these

things in our lives, Amen. Now I
want to remind you, there will be

an anti-Christ that will come.
But on a daily basis how this

evil spirit manifests will be
false teaching and there will be

a major war, as well as other
wars preceding that but before

that, there will be strife –
daily strife; and what the devil

wants to bring into our
relationships, alright? So we got

to be alert and aware of what is
happening. These are not friends,

my friend. Amen, these are not
good things.

Death, plagues, pestilence, are
not good things, okay? We want to

find an answer in God’s Word for
all these. Now let’s look at

something every interesting. In
the same Book of Revelation, we

find that the bible says in
Revelation chapter 4, “Before the

throne there was a sea of glass,
like crystal. In the midst of the

throne, and around the throne,
were four living creatures full

of eyes in front and in back. The
first living creature was like a

lion,” – say ‘lion’. “The second
living creature like a calf,” say

a “calf”. “The third living
creature had a face like a man,”

say “a man”. “…and the fourth
living creature was like a flying

eagle.” Flying eagle. So you have
the face of a man, a lion, a calf

and a flying eagle. Friend, this
is very interesting because we

know these are the four faces of
Jesus. I have a number of

teachings on the four faces of
Jesus but it is important that we

understand this because this is
actually the answer to these four

principalities of darkness. This
is the answer that the Lord gives

us. Now, how the Lord reveals it
to me is going to be very

interesting and I shared some of
it when I shared it on the four

horsemen many years ago. But He
has revealed so much more and I

want to share them with you. So
the four faces of Jesus: the face

of a man, the face of a lion, the
face of an ox and the face of an

eagle. The four faces correspond
with the four gospels about the

life, death and resurrection of
our Lord Jesus Christ. The Holy

Spirit deems fit to portray the
Lord’s life and His death and His

resurrection in four books and
only four – Matthew, Mark, Luke

and John. The gospel of Matthew
is known as the book of the King.

It reveals Jesus as the King, the
King of Israel, the King of the

kingdom, hallelujah, that Jesus
prophesied about and talked

about, and taught on in the
Gospel of Matthew. In the gospel

of Matthew, you find this
expression more than any other

gospel: the kingdom of heaven.
The kingdom of heaven and that is

what Jesus brought, right, the
kingdom of heaven. If only Israel

accepted Him as the Messiah, it
was at hand. He said the kingdom

of heaven was at hand but they
refused and as a result the

kingdom is now suspended,
alright? So we are now in a

spiritual kingdom but back then,
it was a literal kingdom that He

offered them and they rejected
Him. But nonetheless that will

happen when He comes back again.
He will establish a literal

physical kingdom, alright, that
He will reign in it. Praise the

Lord, and it will be from
Jerusalem. So the gospel of

Matthew portrays Jesus as the
King. And the king of the beast

is the lion. The next one is
Mark, the gospel of Mark. By the

way in the gospel of Matthew, it
talks about His pedigree, His

genealogy because as a king, you
need to know the genealogy of the

king, okay, whether He qualifies.
Only two gospels talk about His

genealogy – Matthew and Luke, and
both talks about His genealogy

but not Mark. Mark doesn’t talk
about His genealogy. It starts

off straight away like this in
chapter one. Take your pen and

underline everything you see
there in chapter one that use

words like straightaway,
immediately, forthwith, suddenly,

immediately, straightaway. And
this appears very frequent in

just chapter one of Mark. Now,
Mark doesn’t open up like

Matthew, it talks about the
genealogy of Jesus Christ because

as king you need to know His
genealogy. But Jesus in the

gospel of Mark is portrayed like
the ox, strong to labour. And in

the gospel of Mark, the main
characteristic we see there of

our Lord Jesus is that He is
always working, He is always

serving, He is always going about
doing good, healing all that were

oppressed of the devil. Always
serving, tirelessly serving,

Amen? Strong to labour, like the
bible says: the ox is strong to

labour. So that is the picture of
the gospel of Mark. Why is there

no genealogy in Mark? Because you
don’t ask a servant, there He is

portrayed as a servant, strong to
labour, Amen. And you don’t ask a

servant for his pedigree. So in
the gospel of Luke, you find the

genealogy again because in the
gospel of Luke you find this

phrase more than any other
gospel, the Son of Man because

there He is portrayed as Man,
Amen, as Man. Then you have the

gospel of John. In John, there’s
no genealogy mentioned. Why?

Because there Jesus is portrayed
as God. In the beginning, John

chapter one verse one, “In the
beginning was the Word, and the

Word was with God, and the Word
was God.” And later on, it says

“the Word became flesh”. So
straightaway, there is no

pedigree, because as God, He has
no beginning nor end. He is the

beginning and He is the end.
Praise the Lord! But as Man,

there is a beginning, and He
came. The eternal God came and

took on human flesh and became a
man. Fully man, don’t

misunderstand. He is fully man
but He is also fully God. Amen.

And forever more, He is the
God-man who now sits at the

Father’s right hand. Praise the
Lord. So you have the four

gospels here and there are four
different colours as well in all

these gospels. But here we want
to see the animals that are

portrayed here, except for the
gospel of Luke, you have the face

of the Man but Matthew, the king
of the beasts is the lion because

there He is portrayed as the
King. And Mark, strong to labour

is portrayed by the strong ox.
Then of course, like I said just

now, Luke is the man, the face of
the man and the divine Son of God

that came from heaven and took on
human flesh – the Word became

flesh. It is the picture of the
eagle, Amen, because the eagle

flies higher than any other bird.
It is the king of all the birds,

Amen, and it is a heavenly bird.
It is a heavenly creature, Amen.

It is a picture of the gospel of
John, Jesus there is portrayed

the eagle. And each of these
faces is the answer for you

concerning all these spirits.
Amen. So what we can see and what

we can learn from here, Amen. But
before that, let’s go to Ezekiel

chapter one. Ezekiel chapter one
says, and again, Ezekiel lived

before Jesus, right? It is about
at that time, about 600 years

before Christ came and he
prophesied, he’s one of those in

the Babylonian captivity and all
that, he was at the River Kebar

and he prophesied all these
prophecies in the Book of

Ezekiel. But look here, Ezekiel
1:10, “As for the likeness of

their faces, each had a face of a
man.” Now, Ezekiel had a vision

of heaven, the glory of God and
he noticed that the cherubim, the

creatures around the throne of
God, by the way all these

creatures they have the four
faces of Jesus, Amen, because

they reflect their God, they
reflect their Master; they

reflect their Lord, and they have
the four faces of Jesus. Again

notice, the face of a man, each
of the four had the face of the

lion on the right side. Notice
the direction – on the right

side? Notice each of the four had
the face of an ox on the left

side, and each of the four had
the face of an eagle and that’s

why we portray like this, right?
Jesus has the face of a man, the

lion on the right side, the ox on
the left and the eagle at the

back. Why is this important?
Because what is interesting is

this, friend: when Israel camped
in the wilderness, you know

around the tabernacle, oh
hallelujah, the tabernacle, my

friend, is something that God
actually kept its secrets even

for this generation, for people
that will live now in the New

Covenant. The types there, the
shadows speak to us in a way like

nothing can. Every part of it
talks about Jesus and His glory.

And that is why there is verse
there that says, “And in His

temple…” in Psalms 29, and “…in
His temple everything cries,

‘Glory!’”. Everything says glory,
every part of the furniture,

every colour, every fabric, every
metal; everything about the

tabernacle cries glory,
hallelujah. Just like the local

church, every local church is the
glory of Christ, praise God. When

David said this, at that time the
temple was not yet built. It was

definitely not referring to the
temple, it was referring to the

tabernacle of Moses at that time,
as well as his tabernacle – the

tabernacle of David. Every part
utters glory. Praise God. But in

Numbers 2:2, it says this,
“Everyone of the children of

Israel shall camp by his own
standard, beside the emblems of

his father’s house; they shall
camp some distance from the

tabernacle of meeting.” So all
the children of Israel will camp

around the tabernacle. They will
camp around the tabernacle, okay,

and they will camp according to
the sign, the emblem of their

father’s house. Notice that? And
the word “by his own standard” is

actually a flag, it’s like a
flag, a banner. Back then they

will carry banners, alright, even
to war. They will carry a banner.

And each tribe has their own
banner, so all the twelve tribes

each one has their own banner but
they will camp in such a way

around the tabernacle, three on
each side – north, south, east,

west, alright. All the twelve
tribes are divided into groups of

threes, okay, and each one will
have the emblem of their father’s

house. For the tribe of Judah, it
is the flag or the emblem of

their father’s house is the lion.
And for Reuben, when Reuben was

born, even his name Reuben means:
see, a son! Amen. When Reuben was

born, it was like the face of a
man. Okay, so the flag of Reuben

is the face of the man. Let me
show you the Tabernacle first.

Notice the east side, the east
side is the longest because it

has the most people, the tribe of
Judah had the most population,

alright? And Judah, Issachar and
Zebulun are camped on the east of

the Tabernacle. And then you have
Simeon, Reuben and Gad. They are

camped on the south side. Then
you have Manasseh, Ephraim and

Benjamin; they are camped on the
west side. Then on the north

side, you have Dan, Asher and
Napthali. Now, each one of them

has a flag but each side has a
leader and for Judah, their flag

is the lion – the face of the
lion. And on the south side,

Reuben, it is the face of a man.
And on the west side, Ephraim is

the leader there, their flag is
an ox. And then Dan. Dan was

supposed to have a snake on their
emblem because it was prophesied

by his father, Jacob, right, but
the leader felt that he cannot,

and it’s all God, it’s all God,
God arranged such a way, that he

cannot be putting a snake on his
emblem, on his flag. So instead

he put the eagle. The snake
destroyer, Amen, on the emblem,

on the flag pole. Let’s look at
the flags up close. So you have

north, who is at the north? You
have Dan, his flag is the eagle.

Then on the south you have
Reuben, right, and his flag is

the face of a man. Then on the
east, you have Judah, his flag is

the face of a lion and on the
west, you have the face of a

calf, okay and it is the tribe of
Ephraim. So here you have the

four faces of Jesus around the
tabernacle. This is tabernacle

back then and they are all camped
around the tabernacle and when

they camped like this, if you
look at the top view down, you

will see a cross, okay, you will
see a cross, that is how they are

camped, okay. (Video clip plays)
We are approaching from the east,

all the way down to the
tabernacle. That is how they are

all camped and they are all
camped facing the tabernacle.

Hahaha.. Notice they are all
facing inwards, they are facing

the tabernacle, they are all
facing the tabernacle. (Video

clip ends) They are not facing
out. Who will take care of your

back? The Lord. In fact, there is
a verse that says “the glory of

the Lord will be your rear
guard”, hallelujah! In fact, in

the natural, you will think it is
not wise to camp like that,

alright, for safety reasons and
make sure that no enemy, no other

nation will come and attack you
and all that. You have to face

outwards in all directions,
right? But no, God told them to

face the tabernacle. God says, “I
will take care of you as you

focus on Me, as you put your
attention on Me, as you look unto

Jesus.” Look away from everything
else and look unto Jesus, the

author and the finisher of faith.
Look unto Jesus, what is going to

happen? The bible says He will
take care of all your enemies.

When the enemy comes in like a
flood, the Spirit of the Lord

will lift up a standard against
him. Praise God. Put your eyes on

Jesus, don’t worry about the
enemies around you, behind you.

Even if they attack you, they
won’t catch you by surprise. As

you look to the Lord, the Lord
looks at your direction, the Lord

takes care of whatever comes
against you. Praise the Lord. But

if you look around you and you
start getting distracted, and you

start getting discouraged because
of what you see around you, and

you start talking in terms of the
natural because of all around you

is always in the natural, okay,
you miss out on the supernatural

on what God can do for you
supernaturally, Amen. In one fell

swoop, He can turn your darkness
to light. He can cause a chronic

disease to be instantaneously
removed from your body. Amen. We

have seen that happen, church.
But even if it continues for some

time, like I said last week, God
is preparing a testimony for His

glory because there are people
who need to hear that. And there

are situations like that as well,
praise the Lord. So friend, as

you look at the tabernacle,
remember this, it is all a

picture of the local assembly,
the local church of Jesus Christ.

We all encamp – our priority is
the local church, the priority is

focusing on Jesus, Amen, in the
local church. As we prioritise

this, God will prioritise all our
needs and all the things that

would beset us, be it strife, you
know, in our relationships we are

having problems with strife, or
in our relationships with someone

or our loved ones even, Amen, God
will take care of that situation

as you keep your eyes on Jesus.
It is amazing how many times, I

can’t begin to tell you, when I
focus on Jesus, when I choose to

see Him in the Word, the times
when God will fight my battles

and before I know it, when I look
at the situation again, it has

changed. It is no longer the same
kind of, or I will go back to

another situation after spending
time looking at Jesus and all of

a sudden, I know just what to do
to turn that thing around, Amen.

I just know what to do, the
posture to take, praise the Lord.

And that always happens when you
focus on Jesus, Amen. You become

like Him because the Spirit of
God transforms us from glory to

glory as we behold the image of
the Lord. The Spirit of God

transforms us as we behold Jesus.
Praise God. Amen. Okay, let’s go

on. So now the attacks that come
in, look at Zechariah chapter

six. I mentioned just now that
these spirits, these horses are

evil spirits, okay,
principalities. Notice

Zechariah’s vision now, talking a
lot about visions today, but the

visions must all come from the
holy scriptures, not someone’s

vision, okay, today? “Then I
looked up again and saw four

chariots coming from between two
bronze mountains.” The first

chariot was pulled by red horses.
Say “red horses”. The second by

black horses, black horses. The
third by white horse, and the

fourth by powerful dappled grey,
or pale horses. Again, it is like

a spotted kind of grey, a deathly
colour, greenish pale horses.

“And what are these, my lord?”
Notice, what are these, my lord?

The question is asked, right? I
asked the angel who was talking

with me, “…the angel replied
these are the four…”, what?

“…spirits of heaven who stand
before the Lord of all the earth.

They are going out to do His
work.” The chariot with black

horses, now listen carefully.
Whenever the bible says that even

Satan stands before the Lord, let
me tell you this, okay. People

think that God commissioned them,
God directs them. No, God is

sovereign, and this is showing
the sovereignty of God. In other

words, the time has come,
probably there is an open door,

probably there is something that,
like for example, Jesus told

Peter, “Satan has desired to sift
you like wheat but I have prayed

for you”. In other words, He
didn’t say, “I won’t stop the

sifting.” Okay, but you know
what? “I will pray for you, I

will pray for you. And when you
are converted, when you are

strengthened, when you are
restored, strengthen your

brothers as well”. So, He
prophesied his victory even

before he went into a trial. Now
Jesus didn’t promise he won’t go

into a trial. So friend, in our
Christian life, there are

situations, don’t ask why, okay?
It could be an open door, it

could be because you know, of
something we have done in the

past, or whatever, I do not know,
Amen, it has consequences, my

friend. Don’t meddle with sin,
sin has consequences and the

Bible says sin brings forth
death, and that is why it is

important for you to make sure
that when there is sin, you

appropriate what Christ did at
the cross, okay? And thank God

for grace. Praise God,
hallelujah, that where sins

increase, grace superabounds. If
you know how to be conscious of

that grace and how to receive it,
it is only when you receive the

abundance of grace that you will
reign in life, praise the Lord.

So friend, these are spirits. In
the Hebrew, it says that God

directs something, it is actually
God permits. God permits it. Even

when it says the Lord hardened
Pharaoh’s heart, in other places,

you find that Pharaoh hardened
his heart, Pharaoh kept on

hardening his heart, then it says
the Lord hardened His heart. What

does that mean? That means God
says if this how you want to play

it, okay, I will use your
hardened heart. That’s when it

says the Lord hardened his heart,
okay. So it is showing God as a

sovereign God allowing it to
happen because there is some

judicial things that we don’t
understand of, that the evil

spirit seems to have a right but
that doesn’t mean that we have no

advocate at the Father’s right
hand today. Praise God. Back in

the Old Testament they didn’t
have. Remember Job wished that he

had an advocate, abasement a
go-between him and the Lord.

Well, today we have Him, Amen. We
have the Advocate at the Father’s

right hand. Okay, so here the
Lord allows these spirits. Notice

the direction, the chariot with
black horses is going north. The

chariot with white horses is
going west. And the chariot with

the dappled grey horses is going
south. So the famine and the lack

horses are going north; the white
horse – the false Christ and

false teachings are going west.
And the dappled grey – the death

and disease horses, is going
south. There is one more horse

that is not mentioned here. So
obviously we have north, west and

south. So what is missing? We
have east. The horse that goes

east – the red horse that brings
war. And I believe that this

horse is behind what is happening
right now in Ukraine, okay. We

got to pray, friend, continue
praying for Ukraine; continue

praying that God’s will be done.
Your prayers can make a

difference, Amen. Keep on
praying. Now let’s look at all

these pictures here, All these
horsemen are coming against the

people of God. Of course, the
devil’s priority is always to rob

God’s people of their inheritance
in Christ. Just like during the

time of Gideon, the bible says
the enemies came, the Midianites,

and they robbed their food. The
devil is always, you notice in

the Book of Judges, in the Old
Testament, the enemies, the

Philistines and all that, they
always come and take God’s

people’s food. It is the food of
God’s people that the devil is

after. Okay friend, don’t deprive
yourself of food, don’t do the

work of the enemy, Amen. Expose
yourself, keep on feeding upon

God’s Word. Keep on, you know
having access to the food that

will strengthen you, that can
bring miracles in your life. Like

the bible says, “He therefore
that ministereth to you the

Spirit and worketh miracles among
you, does He do it by the works

of the law?” No, but “by the
hearing of faith”. Don’t, don’t

cut yourself off from the hearing
of faith. Amen. Tune in, every

week. Praise the Lord, keep on
hearing messages that’s based on

the Word of Christ, that is
Christ-centred, praise God, and

receive even God’s working of
miracles in your life.

Hallelujah, praise the Lord.
Amen. Notice the directions,

here, alright? The false Christ
comes towards the west. The white

horse, it goes towards the west.
Then you have the, can you see

the disease-horse? It’s coming
against the south, the direction

of the south. Then you have the,
the red horse, going towards the

east, and you have the black
horse going towards the north.

So, these directions are put
there to teach us something, to

tell us how to counter each and
every one of them. Oh, the wisdom

of God! The people of Israel are
camped in such a way that each of

them actually has an emblem, a
flag, a banner that they will

raise high. In warfare, they will
raise their emblem up. They will

raise and then they will charge.
Okay? So, notice, as the enemies

attack, this is what you need to
do and I need to do, as we are

being attacked by either one of
these enemies or even a few of

them, okay? As they attack us,
what do you do? Lift up the

standard. Lift up the flag. Lift
up Jesus. All the four faces

speak of Jesus in His different
attributes. Praise the Lord.

Hallelujah! You know, like the
seven churches, to one church, He

says, “The one that has the key
of David, who opens and no man

shuts and shuts and no man opens.
Don’t be discouraged. I know you

have a little strength but
listen, I can open and no one can

shut. I’ll do that for you and I
can close and no one can open.”

Another church, He says, “The one
that has the discerning eyes,”

Amen, praise the Lord. Another
one, He says that “He who holds

the stars in His hand,” and the
stars are the ministers, the

pastors who are given the
responsibility of the local

church, many of them are
discouraged, many of them are

feeling dejected and He lifts
them with His right hand of His

righteousness. Praise the Lord.
He’s encouraging them. So,

different churches see different
parts of Jesus and that’s the

revelation that they need in that
local church. And that’s why He

appears in that way to that local
church. Okay? So, again, the four

faces of Jesus. We need to
understand this, as to how they

counter, we just lift Jesus and
notice, friend, we’re not facing

outside. The tabernacle is in the
centre of their habitation,

right? They’re all faced inwards
like I said just now. They’re not

faced outside. But as they face
towards the tabernacle, the enemy

comes from different directions.
That means the enemy comes from

the back, but notice, all they
got to do is, what? Lift up

Jesus. Let God arise! Hallelujah!
And let all His enemies be

scattered, in the name of Jesus.
Right now, as you lift Jesus,

praise the Lord, Hallelujah, even
your heart right now is exalting

Jesus Christ, is it not? Praise
the Lord. Oh, I feel like

stopping right here and going
into a time of praise, Amen,

lifting Jesus, singing songs of
praise to Him and He will take

care of all our enemies. Let God
arise and let all His enemies be

scattered. Praise the Lord,
Hallelujah. May that be true in

your life. Amen. So, lift up
Jesus, not to worry about this

enemy, that enemy. Just lift up
Jesus and they’ll all be

scattered. Praise the Lord. As
you look towards Jesus, and

whatever aspect of Jesus that you
see, lift it up in praise. Amen.

Call it forth. Share with someone
else. Talk about Jesus. Just like

the Song of Songs, that lady,
notice that when the Beloved

speaks to the bride, He’s very
direct. He calls out her beauties

directly. But when the bride
speaks of the Beloved, her

Beloved, that’s our Lord Jesus,
notice she talks about His

beauty, His characteristics to
someone and then He appears.

Praise the Lord. God has designed
us in such a way, as we talk

about Jesus more and more, as we
share about Jesus with someone,

He comes on the scene. We can
sense His manifest presence.

Amen. We feel loved. Amen. I know
He loves us all the time but it’s

so wonderful sometimes to feel
His love when you talk about Him.

The more you talk about Him, the
more you sense His presence with

you. Praise the Lord. And so, our
growth is growth in the knowledge

of our Lord Jesus Christ. Not
just one aspect and we stay on

that aspect for years, but to
grow in all that He is. Amen.

There are so many, you know,
official glories of Jesus that we

can study, all the different
titles in the scriptures that we

can study, Amen, all the
different attributes. There is

the official glories of Jesus
that we can study on, there is

the moral glory of Jesus where
He’s, there is moral excellence

and you can see this in all the
gospels, even every movement,

every word, every thought. Amen.
And all His glories is for you to

enjoy. Praise the Lord. Amen. So
that’s growth, when you grow in

the knowledge of our Lord Jesus
Christ. Now, for that revelation

that God recently shared with me
from this passage here, not just

lifting up Jesus, outwardly, we,
you know, like in praise and

worship, as well as our testimony
with one another, but also, if

you look at the directions within
the tabernacle, you will see

this. Alright? Notice, the four
directions and all the four

horsemen that brings deaths,
false doctrines, famines, wars,

they’re all around, attacking the
tabernacle. Don’t forget, the

devil wants to attack the glory
of Christ. Isn’t it great to know

that we are just, you know, we
think that the devil focus on us

and give us trouble because he’s
focused on us alone, you know?

Friend, he’s more, he’s going
after more than that. He’s after

the glory of Christ. Okay? No,
you just hold on to the glory of

Christ, Amen, be conscious of it,
Amen, talk to the Father about

the glory of Christ, the Father
loves to hear about His Son. Now,

think about it. You know, when
God talks about the creation of

the world, this earth that we
live in and everything in it, it

only take God one chapter,
Genesis chapter one. Only one

chapter will suffice to talk
about this earth that we live in

and all the creation in it. But
when God talks about the

tabernacle, God took, like, 15
chapters in the book of Exodus,

15 chapters to talk about His
Son. It’s all about His Son,

Amen! And then we have exactly 98
verses from Exodus 25 to Exodus

27, 98 verses exactly, and then
God repeats it again in Exodus 37

to 39, another 98 verses, exactly
98. Why is God repeating so much

about the tabernacle? Isn’t it
redundant to repeat the same

things again? You see, with the
Father, the Father never tires of

speaking about His Son. He loves
His Son, and you know, with the

Father, He never tires of
speaking of His Son. He wants to

talk about His Son. In fact, when
Moses spent his 40 days up there,

in the mountain, he was listening
to God. You might think that he

just went up there to receive the
second set of tablets, you know,

which he destroyed the first one,
right? He broke it at the foot of

Mount Sinai. But, 40 days he was
up there, what was he doing up

there for 40 days? God was
talking about the tabernacle.

Only at the end, towards the last
day, God says, “Here are the two

tablets of stone.” So, friend,
it’s all about Jesus. Our

priority, it seems like, today,
it’s all about creation, what we

can learn from creation. Even
health, we trust in creation. But

God is saying, God is
prioritising His Son. It’s all

found in His Son. Amen? And God
takes time to repeat and to say

again and again about His Son.
May we also do the same. The

Father loves to hear us talk
about His Son. Amen? Like Joseph,

a picture of our heavenly Joseph,
our Lord Jesus, after he

reconciles with his brothers,
remember that? Like Jesus

reconciles with Israel, then He
says what? “Go, tell my father of

all my glory that you have seen.”
“Go, tell my father…” what? “…all

my glory that you have seen.”
That’s worship, my friend, going

to the Father in heaven and
telling Him about all the glory

that we see of Jesus. So, the
more you see, the more your

worship can be expanded. Praise
the Lord, for this is worshipping

the Father in Spirit and in
truth. Amen! You know, the Father

loves to hear about His Son.
Let’s talk, more and more, about

Jesus. Let’s talk about Jesus,
more and more, to our children,

Amen, to our spouse. Let’s not be
ashamed to mention the name of

Jesus, Amen, Amen? The world is
using His name in vain. Let’s use

His name in glory. Amen. Let’s
use His name in honour, praise

the Lord, exalting Jesus, lifting
up the banner. Amen. Every time

you lift the banner, your enemies
scatter. Hallelujah. Hm, I just

preached myself happy. Okay, let
me close with this. There’s also

a meaning, right here. Now,
you’re looking top-down at the

uncovered tabernacle. So, you see
the uncovered tabernacle on the

left, okay, on the right, what
seems like a cross is just the

ramp that goes up the bronze
altar and that’s where the false

doctrine is coming. So, in other
words, why did God tell Moses to

put the bronze altar there and
what is the bronze altar, my

friend? The four corners speak of
the four corners of Jesus Christ

and that’s where the burnt
offering is placed, that’s where

the sin offering is placed. It’s
a picture of the cross of Jesus

Christ. Amen. So, what counters
false doctrine in our life? The

message of the cross. Paul says,
“I determine not to know anything

among you except Jesus Christ and
Him crucified.” And after that is

the laver. Can you see the laver
there? Okay, laver is the

washing; the priest goes there to
wash their hands. Amen. In

Ephesians, it says we are washed
with the washing of water of the

Word. The bride of Christ, we are
washed with the washing of water

of the Word that He may present
us to Himself a glorious bride

without spot and wrinkle or
anything such thing. Hallelujah.

Praise God. So there is washing
of water and “water” there, the

word there is based on the cross;
it’s the word of the cross that

counters false doctrines. You
know, false doctrines always have

this, they may sound so smart, so
intelligent and we’re trying to

draw wisdom from this
psychological pool and reservoir

or from this, you know, natural
human wisdom and it doesn’t

satisfy. You know why? You’re not
created for the natural. You’re

created for heavenly wisdom,
praise God. So, false doctrine is

anything that puts Jesus aside
and His finished work and talk

about how you can have those
things without the cross. Okay?

That’s false teaching. Amen.
False Christ is actually someone

who takes the place of Christ,
telling you that he has the

answer. That’s the false Christ.
Anti can also mean “in-place-of”,

a substitute, Amen. It’s not just
against; it is also against but

the word anti is also
“in-place-of”, okay, take the

place of Christ. Don’t let anyone
take the place of Christ. Then,

for the famine, below, notice
that the tabernacle, facing

south, what is placed at the
south of the tabernacle? The

menorah, the lampstand, it’s
placed at the south. Famine is

also lack, so God is saying the
lampstand is the picture of the

Church of Jesus Christ. That’s
where the Holy Spirit in His

seven-fold manifestation, He
dwells. The candlestick, the

candelabra or the lampstand in
the tabernacle is the picture of

the Holy Spirit, alright. Jesus,
yes, but also, mainly the Holy

Spirit in the Church because in
the book of Revelation, the Bible

says John turned to see the voice
that spoke with him and being

turned, he saw seven golden
lampstand which are the seven

churches, the seven local
assemblies at that time. Okay?

So, the menorah is a picture of
the local church. What counters

the lack in our lives? The
church, the local church. The

more you’re involved in the local
church, the more you support the

local church, Amen, you’ll have
no lack. That’s what God is

saying. The answer to the attack
of this spirit, the attack of

lack in our life is to be
involved in the local church,

even support the local church
financially. Not just, not just

being there but support, support
by tithing, Amen. You all know

that it’s God’s principle. The
world will try to say, “Well,

they’re trying to take advantage
of people and all that,” they do

not know God’s ways. And where
does this expression of local

church tithing come from? From
the Word of God. Amen! Be

involved in the local church and
it will counter lack. Now we look

at the north and what is the
spirit that attack from the

north? Death. Okay? And for
death, what is the answer there?

The table of showbread. God said
to Moses to place the table of

showbread to the north of the
tabernacle. And there’s a purpose

for the placement. So, the table
of the showbread counters death.

Death is also what? The
pestilence, plagues, disease and

the table of showbread is a
picture of, today, that was the

type, the antetype today is the
Lord’s Supper. Hallelujah. You

know when you partake of the
Lord’s Supper, especially on the

Lord’s Day, now you can partake
every day, being conscious of the

Lord, proclaiming His death, but
especially the Lord’s Day which

is Sunday, you need to partake of
the Lord’s Supper. I’ll show you

a pattern here. Look at the
apostle John, the apostle John in

the book of Revelation, chapter
one, he says, “I was in the

Spirit on the Lord’s Day.” That’s
a Sunday, by the way. “And I

heard behind me a loud voice, as
of a trumpet. Then I turned to

see the voice that spoke with me
and having turned, I saw seven

golden lampstands and in the
midst of the seven lampstands,

one like the Son of Man.” So,
watch this now, let’s say I’m

facing right now, I’m facing
north, okay. John is facing

north, and when he heard a voice
behind him, and he turned around

to see the voice that spoke with
him, he saw the lampstand, which

are the seven lampstands, which
are the seven local churches

during the time. Right? So, if
John had to turn around to see

the voice that spoke with him,
and in the middle of the

lampstand was actually Jesus, he
saw Jesus in the middle. He’s

always in the middle, my friend,
He’s always in the midst of the

Church, He’s always in our midst.
When He was a 12-year-old boy,

right, He was in the Temple,
listening to the teachers at the

time, where was He? He was in
their midst. Amen. He says,

“Where two or three are gathered
together in My name, there I am.”

I AM, in the midst. Praise the
Lord. Jesus, when He was

crucified, He was crucified in
the midst of the two thieves.

When He rose from the dead, the
Bible says Jesus appeared in the

Upper Room, in their midst. When
John saw Jesus in the book of

Revelation, right here, he turned
around, he saw Jesus in the

midst. Hallelujah. So, where was
John facing before he turned? He

was facing north and he was in
the Spirit on the Lord’s Day.

What do you think he was doing? I
believe he was partaking of the

Lord’s supper. The book of Acts
says upon the first day of the

week, the disciples, the
apostles, they came together to

break bread. Notice the motive,
the foremost reason for coming

together on the first day of the
week, which is a Sunday, is to

break bread. It was their
priority in those days. So, John,

on the Isle of Patmos, right, I’m
sure he found some bread, okay,

and he was, he was illustrating,
he was facing north. For him to

turn around, in other words, for
him to be in the Spirit on the

Lord’s Day, he was in the true
Tabernacle, Amen, and he was

partaking of the Lord’s supper
and then he heard a voice behind

him. And if you’re facing north
and the table of showbread is

here, behind is the lampstand.
Hallelujah! So, again, the table

of showbread will counter the
death, Amen, it will counter the

disease and the plague. Praise
the name of Jesus. So, notice

that God says place the table of
showbread facing where? The

north. Amen. And from the north
of Israel will come all the

enemies of Israel. Down through
Old Testament and even in the

future, from the north comes evil
and trouble, the Bible says,

right, for Israel. So, notice,
the counter is the table of

showbread. “What can a table do,
Pastor Prince? What can a table

do?” My friend, the table is
powerful. Amen. It’s God’s

ordained way, it’s beyond the
natural, it will cause enemies to

be confused, Amen. It will cause
the plague to recede before you.

It will cause diseases that’s
already in your body to melt away

and health to spring forth
speedily. Praise the Lord. Thank

You Jesus, Amen, Hallelujah. And
then we have the last one, we

have wars. What counter the wars?
The altar of incense. The altar

of incense is a picture of
prayer. The Lord Jesus is

praying. Number one, He is
praying. And then we are praying

together with Him. Actually, in a
sense, we are entering into His

prayer. One of the best ways is
to express this is praying in

tongues because when you pray in
tongues, you’re actually praying

according to God’s will.
Hallelujah. And as you pray,

strife will melt away. As you
pray, the enemy will depart. The

enemy tries to bring strife and
discord, he will be confused as

you pray, he cannot stand the
atmosphere of prayer. Friend, the

less you pray, the more you try
to do, the more you try to save,

try to work your relationship, it
can only suffer because of human

effort. But the more you pray,
trust God, just pray. The enemy

says nothing is happening;
remember this, as you pray, the

prayers of a righteous man avails
much. Amen. “The answer is on its

way, Daniel.” Amen. Even you got
to wait for 30 days, wait for it.

You got to wait for 50 days, wait
for it. The answer came the very

first day you prayed but there’s
spiritual warfare going on. But

the enemy is afraid of prayer,
when God’s people are praying. He

doesn’t care if you’re boasting
about your strength and all that,

but he fears you when you are on
your knees praying. Amen. Praise

the Lord. Have you been blessed
by this? Amen. I trust, my

friend, I’ve said a lot in this
time. In fact, this whole sermon

can take a series to break down,
Amen, but I trust that you have

received what God wants you to
receive. In fact, in the midst of

the words I have spoken, you have
received a personal rhema word

for your own situation. Receive
it, my friend, and prosper by it,

praise the Lord, or be healed by
it, or have that breakthrough by

it. In Jesus’ name, Amen. If
you’ve never made Jesus your

personal Saviour and Lord, I want
to pray with you, my friend. I

want to pray for you right now,
that salvation in all its

fullness will come into your
life. Christ died for our sins.

If you confess with your mouth,
Jesus Christ is your Lord,

believe in your heart God raised
Him from the dead, you will be

saved. Amen. If that is you, pray
this prayer with me right now,

say, “Heavenly Father, I believe
Jesus Christ is the Son of God, I

believe He died and rose again
and I believe Jesus is my Lord

and my Saviour from this day
forth. Thank You, Father, all my

sins are forgiven. I thank You,
Father God, I stand before You

right now, with the righteousness
of God in Christ Jesus. You are

my Father and I am Your son and
I’m greatly blessed. Thank You,

Father, in Jesus’ name. Amen.” If
you prayed that prayer, my

friend, from your heart, you’re
now a child of God. Amen. Old

things are passed away, all
things have become new. Stand to

your feet, praise the name of
Jesus. This coming week, the Lord

bless you and your families and
the Lord cause all His face to

protect you throughout this week.
The Lord cause your enemies to

flee before you. They come
against you one way, they flee

before you seven ways. The Lord
lift up His countenance on you

and grant to you and your loved
ones His shalom peace and His

supernatural favour. You are kept
in the Lord. Friend, continue to

look to Jesus, Amen, every single
day of your life and let nothing

detract you from that.
