The Acceptable Offering
This is the why the only offering and sacrifice that is pleasing to the Father is the offering of the Son. It is the offering that is centered upon obedience to the Father's perfect will.
This is the fulfillment of John 4:34 , which says: "My meat is to do the will of Him that sent me, and to finish His work."
So when He was there on the cross, He finished the work which was given to Him, which was to bring about the spiritual component of salvation, which was rejected by the Jewish people. But now, the continuation has come upon us. A body has accepted the spiritual component of salvation.
The work that the Father sent the Son of God in the Jewish setting to do was to defeat, dislodge and take away from Lucifer what had been taken from our first parents-the kingship and the sonship. He did that, and that's why after the resurrection, all power in heaven and on earth was given to the Son of God.
The Son of God in the Gentile setting is now the completion of the Father's work of salvation. Without the fallen Adamic race receiving the highest honor of being the Appointed Son, there would be no salvation.
Religion and denomination failed to produce a body amongst the fallen Adamic race in the Gentile setting. They were not able to complete what the Father wanted them to finish.
As it is in the Jewish setting, so it is also in the Gentile setting today. He sent a Son. And my mission today was to complete the works of salvation in the fallen Adamic race, which happened on April 13, 2005 .
Salvation has finally come to its focus, which is the fallen Adamic race. And I am your model for that, being the Appointed Son.
Hebrews 5:8 tells us: "Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;"
And 1 Peter 2:23 says, "Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:"
As you can see, it is a sacrifice done in obedience to the will of the Father. In fact, the life of the Son is a life dedicated to the Father's will. That is why the offering of the life of the Son is the sacrifice that the Father is only pleased with.
Note the following verses:
James 1:12 , "Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him."
John 17:4 , "I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do."
The Son's offering is the only one pleasing and acceptable to the Father because it is a tried offering. The Father tried me when He brought me to the two mountains of Kitbog and Tamayong. Romans 8:35-39 was proven in my life.
"Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
"As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
"Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
"For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." ( Rom. 8:35-39)
Tribulations, distress, famine and persecution proved me there. When you follow the will of the Father, it is not as you think it is, that you will walk and problems will never occur. In fact, many times, that is what will try you.
When you dedicate yourself in following His will, you will find yourself being persecuted, not only sometimes but many times. You'll find yourself in tribulation. You'll find yourself in distress. You'll find yourself without anything. You'll find yourself in famine, in nakedness, and in danger so as to separate you from Him.
This was the Son's life for five years in Tamayong. I ate bananas for five years, and I almost ate grass, because I was threatened with famine. But I said, "I will not leave. My heart is fixed, my mind is made up." Those trials were like fire.
The fires that came to me were trials and persecutions. I had to go through the fire for the Father to be able to try my work and what I had built upon the foundation. If it was not genuine, it would be burned. If it were made of cheap materials like hay, wood and stubble, it will all be burned.
But I opted to do the will of the Father through my freedom of choice. I said, "If I die here, I die now, but my commitment remains the same." That's golden. That's precious in the sight of the Father." So I stayed. After I overcame those trials, the Father told me, "You are now my Son."
