The Pleasing Sacrifice

And that is why I am here, preaching and revealing to you the truth that while you are unrepentant, and have not surrendered to the will of the Father, the things that you are doing may seem to be good in your sight and in the sight of society, but you are in fact sinful; because living in sin is obedience to your human will. So when you come to the Father, you are surrendered to that will.

The Son of God in the Jewish setting was a different type of person, although He was a human being, because He was a person who was totally surrendered to the will of the Father. And that was the offering the Father was seeking after.

When the Church Age was phased out, according to the revelation I have given to the world on April 13, 2005 , the Father is now concerned with the body of the Son, instead of the sacrifices and offerings made by man, which were all forms of outward devotion.

The Father is no longer pleased with the offering of man if his heart is unchaged, unsurrendered and unrepented. Sacrifices and offerings cannot save man now. It is only through the Son that man's salvation can come.

The Word of God in Hebrews 10:5-6 says, "Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me: In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure."

His pleasure is only in the body. He said, ".Sacrifice and offering, thou wouldest not, but a body, hast thou prepared me." What was that body? Who was that body? It is the body of the Son.

The sacrifice of the Son is what pleases the Father. His coming in Hebrews 10:5-6 is the fulfillment of Psalms 40:6-8 , which reads: "Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required. Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me, I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart."

The Father no longer looks for sacrifice and offering. So temple worship and the ceremonial laws of worship have been phased out.

".I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart." (v.8) -This is what the Father is seeking after. He created human beings to be unlike the lower creation, unlike the animals; He created us according to His own image, that's why we have the freedom of choice.

Man's choice was made; and by his own freedom of choice, he chose disobedience against the will of the Father. That's why man has become a sinner; he now had the capacity and the ability to use his human will.

Man's power to know good and evil is within him, but his choices are always wrong, because sin is dominant within him. He knows how to do good, but using his human will, he always chooses what is good for him, not what is good for God and what is the will of the Father. This is the life of sin.

Man has been separated from the Father, because he now uses his human will and chooses what is good for himself. This is what is bad, because man always chooses what is good for him and what is evil for others. The will of the Father is no longer being done in the life of man.

Unrepentant man with an unrepentant soul is propagating himself. Embedded with the serpent seed, men are doing their own will.

This explains the formation of societies; of divisions of culture; and of religion. They do whatever they think is good for them. However, it is only a formulation of the human will.

They are now loyal and obedient to that human will but disregard the will of the Father. And where is the will of the Father? It's lost. You can only find Him when you find the will of the Father.

The Offering of the Son

He prepared Himself a body. The body of the Son is different from others, because this body is here amongst us. His only mission and vision is to fulfill and to obey the Father's will, no matter what.

This is the body that the Father was talking about. The offering of the body of the Son is what pleases the Father. So it is a sacrifice done in obedience to His will. The life of the Son is solely dedicated to the will of the Father. It is only the offering of the Appointed Son, in which the Father is very pleased.

You want to please the Father? I am here for you to know how. Become like me, I am your model. I am the one He appointed. I am like you, so you cannot say "Pastor Quiboloy is the Son of God, naturally, he can follow the will of the Father and he can become the Son of God, but I can't become like him."

Before I became the Son of God, I was a son of the devil like you. I was born in the flesh. I had parents who are human beings like you. My mother and my father are human beings. I came as a descendant of the fallen Adamic race. I am exactly like you. But now, I have accepted the call of the Father, through my own freedom of choice.

Use your own freedom of choice, like I did with mine, when I found out that it was the Father who was calling me. I surrendered to His will. And I said Father, from now on, not my will but Your will be done in my life.

I had to be tried and tested for that commitment; for that repentance or surrendering that I did. I was brought to another mountain, where my commitment and dedication to that will was tested.

I had all the reasons to backslide and go back to doing my human will under those circumstances. But I thank the Father because through my own freedom of choice, I told Him, "Father, doing Your will is my joy. Even if I die, no matter what, I will obey." I was put under trying circumstances-persecutions, famine and everything.

People think that when they serve God, everything will be handed to them by God according to their wishes. But when you follow and serve Him like I do, you have to prove your loyalty, dedication, sincerity and commitment to following His will. When you surrender and say, "I will follow the Father," you will be tried.

He will not accept and adopt you as a son if He has not tried you, because He is a God that is true. He does not accept hypocritical worship. So, this is what He has shown to me and this is what I have done.

I had to use my own freedom of choice, as Adam and Eve and the Jewish people used theirs-to accept or to reject; to love or hate Him. But I decided to accept Him and die for that will.

Sometimes, following that will means you have to lay down your life, suffer loneliness, rejection and ostracism. Many times, you find yourself standing alone. Nobody seems to love you. Nobody seems to care for you, because all around you is the serpent seed. The devil will muster all of his forces against you, to let you feel that you are alone in the battle, and make you surrender yourself to him.

I felt all alone in my five years in Tamayong, even until now. Sometimes, the road in following the Father's will is a lonely road, but I had already decided that if I have to stand alone in following His will, I will. I am even willing to die in following Him. And so, I am your model for that.
