Eternal Glorious Fountain Ministry (EGFM)
Meeting: Writing the Vision Prayer Meeting (Day 3)
Date: Wednesday, 15th June 2022
Ministering: Reverend Kayode Oyegoke
“Behold, the Lord hath proclaimed unto the end of the world, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him.” (Isaiah 62:11).
“All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory palaces, whereby they have made thee glad. Kings' daughters were among thy honourable women: upon thy right hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir.” (Psalm 45:8-9) The Eternal King was anointed with the oil of pleasure to pull daughters to pleasure. The daughters love him because of the savour of his good ointment (SoS 1:3). The women of honour are women of glory. The king's daughters were among the honourable daughters.
Christ is a life of God but not the exact life that God is. Christ is a life that is from God; it is an offspring of God, but not who God is. The Father is who God is in a dimension (Jn. 20:17). The Fatherhood of God refers to the realm of divinity, which precedes the eternal world.
The issue of the Father and God is something that cannot be removed. Jesus understood the divine service--the realm of divinity, which precedes the eternal world. One must first be divine before eternal. These things are true because exceeding great and precious promises have been given to us (2 Pet. 1:4).
Daughters of the Father are produced in the realm of divinity; they are those who are partaking in divine nature or in everlasting life (2 Cor. 6:18). The word ‘daughter’ refers to a pedigree of saints in everlasting life. God does not joke with His daughters. God does not want His daughters to be enslaved but to be taken care of. The daughters of God must also take care of God's sons.
“Kings' daughters were among thy honourable women: upon thy right hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir.” (Psa. 45:9). To be in honour before God is to have life everlasting. Praise, honor and glory are all in everlasting life (1 Pet 1:7). These three are the honour of Eternal Life. They are the honour that precedes the glory of God.
Honourable women are women of glory but there is still a higher glory. This woman was among the glorious women. Jesus has to marry among the glorious women. There is something about marriage. Every woman must be adorned to be married. There are those who have not finished adorning themselves, and there are some that are finished.
In the story of the ten virgins, the issue of disqualification was because five were wise and five were not. Five entered, and five could not (Matt. 25:1-13). God would visit again to see if those five women would have made themselves ready. There are different batches for the marriage.
The five wise virgins went into the marriage. This parable appears contradictory to the army Jesus will come with from heaven. Those whom Jesus wants to marry are those who are coming with Him from heaven. However, not all of them died on the earth at the same time. They were saints in different ages that culminated in the marriage. At an age, God would pick people into the category of them that Jesus would marry. There are brides of the lamb. God would check ages to see how many can be married. There may be just two that Jesus can take in within the span of a hundred years.
It is stringent for Jesus to get women to marry. They must be eligible. Among the king's daughters, there is a particular woman that Jesus (the Lamb) can marry. Jesus has to marry among the glorious women who have adorned themselves; He cannot marry a bride that is just learning the curriculum of Christ.
Right now, the company of the bride is completing her number. She is calling; her spirit is also saying “come” (Rev 22:17). Her spirit is her adornment; it is what prepares her to be married to the Lamb. The person who is athirst is the person who is hungry for the strong meat of the Word of God, which is the word of everlasting life (Heb. 5:14). Those that are being beckoned to are those who are athirst.
Jesus cannot marry one that is just learning Christ. Learning Christ is a washing or purification of the bride from the filthiness of this world; it is not an adornment (Eph. 5:26-27). Adornment is what prepares the bride to be married by the Lamb. Jesus wants to present to Himself a glorious Church.
To be a bride that would be qualified to marry the Lamb, one must be raised a virgin twice. There is a virgin that is firstly raised in the Outer court and a virgin of the Holy Place, such that would be taken into the Most Holy Place. It is in the Most Holy Place that we make ourselves ready for marriage.
“Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.” (Rev. 19:7-8). Those whom Jesus would finally marry must be clothed with fine linen, which is the righteousness of the saints (Rev. 19:8). The righteousness of the saints talks about those who have been made the righteousness of God (2 Cor. 5:21).
To be made the righteousness of God, one must have been reconciled to God; one must have come under the season of the reconciliation of iniquity (2 Cor. 5:19). The appearance of the High Priest to us is so we can be arrayed with fine linen, clean and white. That is the garment of the bride that the Lamb will marry.
We marry to grow but Jesus married a grown woman. The woman would not wear white until she finishes her course. She must have followed the Lamb whithersoever He went. She must have overcome the dragon. Then, she will be given the linen garment. On earth, marriage starts, and then the husband and wife begin to know each other. But for Jesus' marriage, He would have known the woman, courted her, supped with her, till she put on the linen garment. Jesus will not make the mistake of marrying us without all those things.
The marriage of the Lamb took place at nighttime. Marriage time is not morning time. It is at the end of the program that marriage will occur. At the Lamb's marriage, they ate supper, not lunch or breakfast. It is called the marriage supper. Before the supper, Jesus would have been supping with you, teaching you how to end with Him.
In Genesis 6, daughters were born to men as against the sons of God; they were women of the image of the dragon. They were women who were born in the image of their fathers, and they are the reason why the sons of God were taken down
“These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.” (Rev. 14:4). Women here are daughters of men; they are operations in the dragon or the women in Satan. They are images of seduction that can tempt the sons of God. These women in Genesis made the sons of God settle and grieve God. The women changed their thought of sojourning so that they did not fulfill the course of sonship. The sons could not finish the course despite the prompting of the Holy Ghost. Every son of God must overcome his women. All sons (and ladies too) must overcome their women.
Marriage is not an ordinary thing, and this is why a man or woman should not just marry at wish. God does not want His sons to marry as they wish because they will marry what they love and not what He wants for them. The love of God is a teaching against our loves. The word “love” means life. So, what Satan produces as women to lure sons of God is a life outside God. Sons of God must hate what Satan has branded as “our life” until it dies, else it will be a problem to us.
A daughter (of the Father) must forget her father's house. She must forget her people and her father's name. Her father's house and her own people will not allow her bear the name and the identity of the King. If she does not forget them, her beauty will not be enough to pull the King (Psa. 45:11). To worship Him is to forget the former life we were taken from. There are genes that we carry that resembles where we came from, though we may not know. It would only take daughters or spiritually matured ones to forget. Father and mother in Hebrews 7:3 do not refer to our biological parents. It is unwise and unkind to treat our biological parents roughly.
“And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift; even the rich among the people shall intreat thy favour. The king's daughter is all glorious within: her clothing is of wrought gold. She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of needlework: the virgins her companions that follow her shall be brought unto thee.” (Psalm 45:12-14). The virgins here are companions that followed the king’s daughter. These are the bridesmaids; they are those who have tried but were are unable to marry. There will be maids—the other virgins who did not make it for marriage, but they are honorable women. They are the maids of the New Jerusalem City. If we do not want to be in that company, we must fulfill all the obedience to be the bride.
There are some saints who are older than the daughters that could not make it to the status of marrying the Lamb, every one of them in their order. John the Baptist said he is the friend of the bridegroom (John 3:29). Such people would be around in that kingdom and dominion. It is not every Christian that will sit on the right-hand side with Jesus. It is a marital thing. It is the laws of this marriage that would take these men to the right-hand side of the Majesty on high.
We were all created together with our Lord Jesus after He resurrected, but we cannot function with Him except there is formation (Eph. 2:10). Formations are works that creation must do. Whosoever is not interested in those works would not be formed.
God created man in chapter one of Genesis. In chapter two, He formed man of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils; man became a living soul (Gen. 2:7). After God had formed man, He gave him breath. Formation was a work upon God's creation.
Adam and Eve were created together but they were not formed at the same time. Scripture tells us that the man was first formed (1 Tim. 2:13). There is an order. In the same way, Jesus was first formed. Though we were created together with Him, we were not formed together. Jesus will not marry those whom He was created together with, but those who are formed. In the beginning, marriage did not occur until there was formation.
All the time Jesus was on earth, He was undergoing formation to be married to some people. Right now, God has taken what Jesus would use to form His bride. God took those things and reserved them in the heavens. Those are righteousnesses or substances so that one can be formed. If anybody rejects them, such a person can never be married to Jesus.
There are things tied to the issue of the throne, the task of responding to formation. The throne is a responsibility that cannot just be given to anyone except you are formed. God will never put children on the throne. God wants to put a groom on the throne, and also His wife. It is His wife that the groom can sit with on the throne.
To form a man is to raise him. When God gives a man a form, He has raised him. Jesus was not just a being of God, He had the form of God; He was a full-blown God before He came here (Phil. 2:8).
What happens in formation is image-making. This is why we must be conformed to the image of the Son. To be conformed is to take the form of the Son of God. When Jesus died on the cross, He was both recreated, formed, and raised. What we gained from the resurrection of Jesus from the dead was His Christ which is His creation part. No one should brag to be sitting on the throne. It is in your formation that will tell if you are sitting on the throne or not. If you are formed, you will follow the law of formation.
To be formed is to be raised. When a man is formed, God gives him a breath (Gen. 2:7). A man cannot come into the formation that will qualify him to be married to the Lamb without the things that are freely given to us (1 Cor. 2:12). When God gives you all things that pertains to everlasting life and you inherit them, you are formed.
The image-giving season requires the coming of God. That coming is the appearance. He would keep coming till the image is fully formed. Image must be adhered to. Jesus appeared to the seven Churches in the book of Revelation to correct their errors. Some were eating the food of Jezebel, food of seduction, things sacrificed to idols, and so on, thereby abandoning the issue of image. Making the image of God is the work of God.
When God comes to give works, He is making an image or giving a Christ the final form. When Christ is formed, it is a preceding work before the form of God. The form of God is the teaching of all things or the giving of everlasting life. They are the things that God gives for us to do. These ‘all things’ are the exceeding and great promises. When God gives you commandments, He wants you to build an image for Him, and it cannot be done without your cooperation. When we are being formed in order to be married, God is giving us things that we need to do in order to be conformed to the image of the Son of God.
When God is raising us, he is giving us the image of formation. The antichrist used the false prophet to raise a false image, and the image is the image of the beast. (Rev. 13:14-16). “For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.” (John 5:21). To raise a man is to build God’s image in him. To quicken the man is to give him life. To give life is also to give name or reward. It means God will quicken His works. So, we must make sure nothing happens to the image God is building in us. If anything is at fault in the image, God would not quicken it because God only quickens all things that are of Him.
There is a dimension of God storing things, and there is a dimension of God quickening them. Everlasting life is the resurrected life, while Eternal Life is what Jesus referred to as “the Life” (John 11:25). Eternal Life is the reward of everlasting life. There is something higher than just being raised. Resurrection is to raise ‘image’.
Whosoever makes and carries God’s image to the end would be quickened into Eternal Life (Rev. 3:12). Eternal Life makes one to reign forever. Without this, one cannot be a quickening spirit. It is the identity of a spirit species. Angels are not quickening entities, but they are spirits. The thing called quickening spirit is a secret. To quicken a man is to give him mercy.
Before one can be a quickening spirit, one must be a living spirit. Adam was a living soul; he was not a living spirit. Angels are a kind of living spirits but they do not have our type of living spirit. God is both the living and the true (or quickening) God. He expects us to live (or to be living). We must desire to be living spirits. The truth of God is His image. We must ask God for help to fulfill the image formation.
Blessings!
