  1. Notes: TITLE: BEHOLD THE MAN PART 6 BY DR APOSTLE AROME OSAYI

    INTRODUCTION

    – THEME: The core message focuses on distinguishing between the 'earth' (God's creation) and the 'world' (the 'cosmos' or man-made systems apart from God). Apostle Arome explores the origins of a godless civilization and the necessity of believing in the true Jesus to overcome the atmospheric sway of the world.

    – KEY SCRIPTURES: Genesis 4:11-22, 1 John 5:4-19, Romans 5:2, Isaiah 14:12-14, Galatians 5:16, 2 Corinthians 2:14.

    – PURPOSE: The sermon aims to equip believers with the theological understanding required to identify the 'pattern man' (Jesus Christ) and to live a life of perpetual victory over the seductions and bondages of the worldly system.

    MAIN TEACHINGS

    THE ORIGIN OF THE COSMOS
    – The 'world' or 'cosmos' began with Cain’s rebellion. After being judged for the murder of Abel, Cain departed from the presence of the Lord to build a civilization in the land of Nod.
    – This civilization was founded on the principle of existing 'apart from God'.
    – Satan, having failed to implement his manifesto in heaven, found a compatible partner in Cain to establish a system on earth that ignores God's authority.

    THE ARCHITECTURE OF WORLDLY BONDAGE
    – ADORNMENT AND ATTRACTION (ADAH): Based on the name of Lamech's first wife, this represents the system of attraction used to lure souls into prison houses of addiction and preoccupation.
    – RETENTION (ZILLA): This represents the secondary force used by the enemy to keep individuals in bondage once they have been attracted.
    – THE THREE PILLARS OF SELF-RELIANCE:
    – JABAL (Employment for Self-Support): The shift from 'work' (divine purpose) to a 'job' (purely for survival and self).
    – JUBAL (Music for Self-Entertainment): The creation of external sound to drown out the internal 'song of the Lord' and distract the soul from God’s knock.
    – TUBAL-CAIN (Weapons for Self-Defence): The reliance on human might and technology for protection rather than divine covering.

    OVERCOMING THE WORLD
    – 1 John 5 teaches that only those who believe that Jesus is the Son of God can overcome the world.
    – The 'real' Jesus is identified by three witnesses on earth: the Spirit, the water (baptism/witness of John), and the blood (sacrifice/atonement).
    – To overcome the world, a believer must transfer their subscription from the cosmos to the authority of Christ.

    ILLUSTRATIONS AND EXAMPLES

    – THE AIRLINE STORY: Apostle Arome shared his experience of flying on a dilapidated plane to get to Minnesota. He used this to illustrate his desperation to be where God called him, regardless of the physical risks or lack of comfort.
    – THE JOB VS. WORK ANALOGY: He used his personal history in the Nigerian oil industry to explain that a job should be a resource provider for one's true 'work' (ministry/purpose), rather than an end in itself.
    – THE SOUND ABSORBER: He compared the Holy Spirit's internal music to a 'shock absorber' or 'Tylenol' (Panadol) that takes the pain and stress away during trials.

    PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS

    – REDEFINING LABOUR: Evaluate your current employment. Determine if you are working merely for Jabal (self-support) or if you are deploying your resources to accomplish your 'work' (divine assignment).
    – MASTERING THE FLESH: Victory over worldly temptation is found in 'walking in the Spirit'. This involves a daily, conscious reliance on the Holy Ghost to ensure the lusts of the flesh are not fulfilled.
    – BOLDNESS IN BAPTISM: Recognise that baptism is a jurisdictional statement. It is a public declaration to the cosmos that you no longer belong to its system.
    – GAINING MILEAGE: Like Jesus in the wilderness, arrive at your testing grounds prepared through fasting and prayer before the enemy shows up.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    – The earth is the Lord's, but the 'world' is a system that lies under the sway of the wicked one.
    – You discover your work (purpose), but you seek a job (employment).
    – Satan cannot manage individuals; he manages groups through collective bondages and prison houses.
    – Every doctrinal seed found in the New Testament has its root in the Book of Genesis.
    – Walking in the Spirit results in daily, weekly, and monthly 'triumphant processions'.

    CONCLUSION

    Apostle Arome concludes by emphasizing that the Christian life is not a tale of failure or reproach, but a journey of gallantry. By identifying the true Jesus and rejecting the self-reliant systems of Cain, the believer enters a new season of priesthood and authority where their voice regulates their environment and lineage.

    DECLARATIONS

    1. I declare that I walk in the Spirit and I shall not fulfill the lusts of the flesh (Galatians 5:16).
    2. I decree that I am an overcomer, for I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God (1 John 5:5).
    3. I declare that my life is a perpetual triumphant procession in Christ Jesus (2 Corinthians 2:14).
    4. I renounce every attachment to the cosmos and declare that I am governed by the Spirit of God (Romans 8:14).
    5. I decree that my resources are sanctified to accomplish my divine work and not just for self-support (Genesis 2:15).
    6. I declare that no weapon formed against my destiny or my family shall prosper, for I am covered by the Lord (Isaiah 54:17).
    7. I decree a restoration of the years the cankerworm has eaten; my seasons of hindrance are over (Joel 2:25).
    8. I declare that my voice carries weight in the spirit to regulate my lineage and atmosphere (Matthew 18:18).
