I am thankful to Brother Dr. Jacob C. Bush who gave me an opportunity and honor to share the word of God in the “FIRE CONFERENCE” of *WORLD MISSIONARY ORGANIZATION*. The topic/theme he chooses for the fire conference is RESTORING THE DIGNITY OF MAN is so attractive for preaching. When I received the theme from brother Dr. Jacob C. Bush from that day I was bless and received the Grace and Joy from the Lord Jesus Christ. But as every Christian knows that the Crucifixion of Lord Jesus Christ restores the dignity of man. Amen 

But when we believe in the crucifixion of Lord Jesus Christ and accept him and change from our heart, change from our mind, change our thinking/feeling, and change our life style and when we changed then the people who know us they discuss what is happening with him. He was never like that, as we saw before. Why because we understand the crucifixion of Lord Jesus Christ and we repent from our sins and accept him our Lord our God, Creator, Savior, Baptizer, Healer and Coming soon King’s.

But today I like to start my preaching when man understood the restoring plan of Lord our God and man believed the plan and became a righteousness man. Amen

Dear Brothers and Sisters, I would like to speak to you about the righteousness of Abram. I hope Lord Jesus Christ will guide me through the Holy Spirit and His Holy Spirit touches your heart and your spirit will receive the blessing and understand the righteousness of Abram. Amen

Dear members if you will understand the righteousness of man and then you will understand the restoring the dignity of man.

Please open your Bible.

Genesis 15:6,8: - “Abram believed the Lord, and he credited it to him as righteousness. He also said to him, I am the Lord, who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldeans to give you this land to take possession of it, But Abram said O Sovereign Lord, how can I know that I will gain possession of it?”

Why! Abram said “How can I know that, does he need some confirmed information about his future family.

Brother and sister, I will share some thing different about Abram’s righteousness, Which I studied and understood by the help of the Holy Spirit, about the Abram righteousness. He was not worried about the son, but he was worried about the future of his family because he knew very well about the sinner world. So he asked the Lord.

“How can I know that”.

Dear congregation he need confirmed sign from the Lord and when we study the Bible in Old Testament persons who love the Lord, Lord our God give the some duties to fulfil. Even then they asked for the Sign. I would like to share some verses with you. We read in Judges 6:17 that “Gideon replied” If now I have found favor in your eyes, give me a sign that it is really you talking to me”.

Gideon was a brave man from Manasseh family. He was threshing wheat in a wine press to keep it from the Midianities. God’s Angle came to him, and said “God has listened the cry & pain of Israelites and he wants to set them free from the midian’s hand because Issraelites did sin in the eyes of the God, and for seven year he gave them in the hands of midianties. Over here Gideon asked for the sign.

In Judges 6:20-21, The angel of God said to him, take the meat and the unleavened bread, place them on this rock, and pour out the broth. And Gideon did so, with the tip of the staff that was in his hand, the angel of the Lord touched the meat and the unleavened bread. Fire flared from the rock, consuming the meat and the bread. And the angel of the Lord disappeared; Gideon realized that was the angel of the Lord. Gideon afraid, yes he was afraid because he saw the angel of the Lord our God face to face. Lord told him “PEACE”! Don’t be afraid. You are not going to die. The word of Lord made him stronger in his Spirit. But he wants more sign from the Lord our God and in the Judes 6 36:40 he asked to the Lord our God. If you will save Israel from my hand, as you promised. I need more sign, Lord God look, I am going to place a wool fleece on the threshing floor. If dew only on the fleece and all ground is dry then I understand you save Israel from my hand. Brother and Sister when Gideon rose early next day. He saw fleece and wrung out this dew, a bowlful of water. He wants stronger in his Spirit and again he said to the Lord. Please don’t be angry with me, again I like to request you and allow me to one more test with the fleece. Lord God this time only fleece dry and the ground covered with dew and God did in the night and fleece was dry and all ground was covered with dew. Gideon confirmed that Israel would save from his hand as Lord God promised to him and gave him sign.      

Like this I would give you more example from the Bible about the sign. 2 Kings 20:7-11 When Hezekiah’s King was ill and he was near to death. The prophet Isaiah went to him and told, Hezekiah’s put your house in order because you are going to die, and you will never recover. Hezekiah wept and pray to Lord our God and asked him, Lord God remember me. How I have walked before you faithfully and with my whole heart, please devotion and have done what is good in your eyes. Again Isaiah received the word of the Lord God and came to him. Hezekiah the leader of the Lord God people, Listen what the Lord God of your father David says. I heard your prayer and seen your tears, I will heal you on third when you will go to the temple of the Lord. I will add fifteen year to your life, Hezekiah asked prophet Isaiah “What will be the sign that the Lord will heal me”. Lord gave him the sign and Lord made the shadow go back the ten steps it had gone down on the stairway of Ahaz.

In the same way we can read in Joshua: 10:12-14 “That when Joshua was fighting with Amorites, The Lord gave the Amorites over to Israel. That time Joshua prayed to the Lord “Until we take revenge from our enemies let the sun and the moon stand still” and the sun and moon stood still until Joshua won the fight.

Hallelujah when we ask for the sign Lord our God show us the sign.

In the New Testament we can read in the book of Luke 1:11 that when Zechariah was praying to the Lord in the temple and burning the incense. He saw the Angel of the Lord standing at the right side of the altar, and he was startled.

But angel said, “don’t be afraid your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to give him the name John. In Luke 1:18 Zechariah asked for the sign “How can I be sure of this”. Angel said, “Until this day happens you will be silent and not able to speak” and until Elizabeth born his son John, Zechariah never speak. Hallelujah

Yes when we ask for a sign from Lord our God, he gives us. Dear members when our faith is strong enough and we ask from God any thing by the name of Jesus Christ, we receive that. If we ask any sign from Him, He gives and shows us the sign and wonders.

My dear brothers and sister, when Israelites stopped asking sign from Lord our God. He himself gave them a sign, what was that sign. Open the Book of Isaiah with me.

Isaiah 7:14: “Therefore the Lord him self shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Emmanuel”.

The sign of Immanuel He gave to us that is sign of our Salvation and that is Jesus Christ, He is same yesterday and today and forever.

My dear brother & sister Abram asked to Lord our God. In Genesis 15:8 Abram said to God “How can I know that I will gain possession of it” God had made covenant with Abram. Lord God said to him bring me a heifer, a goat and a ram, each three years old, along with a dove and a young pigeon; Abram brought all these to him, God said cut them in two and arranged the halves opposite each other; the birds, but he did not cut in half and when as the sun was setting. Abram fell in to a deep sleep. Then the Lord God said to him, now for four hundred years, yours descendant would be a stranger in a country. But I will punish the nation they serve as slaves and afterward they will come out with great possessions. Dear members Lord God made a covenant with Abram and gave him sign and he saw, the sun had set and darkness had fallen, a smoking fire put with a blazing torch appeared and passed between the pieces. But that is the not end of the covenant, that is the start of Abram righteousness because he knew all the world is sinner that how is descendant will save from the sin? What is painful time for Abram? As you know, Lord God make a man in His Image, but Adam and eve tempetated by evil, and sin enter in world. Abram was a friend of God worried and Lord our God show the *Plan of Salvation* to Abram and that was became a Righteousness of Abram. Because he wants the sign and wonders from the Lord that How I can Know and that faith and believe “That was counted righteous in his favor”.

Because when read in Genesis 22:5 it is written

Genesis 22:5;” He said to his servants, Stay here with the donkey while I and the boy go over there. We will worship and then we will come back to you.”

Abraham knew the plan of his salvation that’s why he was sure that after worshiping him we will be back, and he said to his men that you stay here with the donkey. He knew God wants to make my faith more strong with my Spirit then ever, And Lord our God does not want Abraham’s thought to be weak and he go into sin like eve, that’s why God Tested him and said “Take your only beloved son for the sacrifice as a burnt offering. But my dear friends Abraham knew God’s plan of the salvation. When he was taking his only son for sacrifice,

His son said.

Genesis 22:7: ” Isaac spoke up and said to his father Abraham, “Father”? Yes my son? Abraham replied. The fire and wood are here, Isaac said, but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?”

Father, Fire and wood are there, But there is no lamb to be sacrifice over here, the son was doubtful what is happening & whose sacrifice my father is going to give. He did not know father has come to sacrifice his only son. According to the saying of God Abraham has left his house & relatives, today Lord our God is testing Abraham, and today he has to come over the testing.

He said to the son.

Genesis 22:8: Abraham answered; God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son. And the two of them went on together.

Son, God will provide himself a lamb. So human being could get rid of their sin. And father’s plan of salvation could be fulfilled which he has from the beginning of the world. Since Adam & Eve fell into sin because God does not want any one to die forever.

That’s why He planned the salvation for every one of us. Abraham brought faith on him and that was counted righteousness in his favor.

Genesis 22:13: “Abraham looked up and there in a thicket he saw a ram, caught by its horns. He went over and took the ram and sacrificed it as a burnt offering instead of his son”

Dear congregation, Lord our God has planned the salvation for you and me. Jesus Christ gave his sacrifice for you & for me because our link, which was broken due to the sin of Adam & Eve, could be rebuilt and authority which He wanted to give us on the earth can be restored.

Due to the sacrifice of Jesus Christ we got back our authority & rule over the earth. As we read in Genesis 1: 26; Then God said, Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground. But now we have taken back our rule from Satan and whatever we ask to Lord Jesus Christ for the sign and wonders He show to us because His Crucifixion gave us a new life but if we never repent from sin and never baptize in water as we read in Bible Act: 2; 38, and peter said that “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins., and received the Baptism of Holy Spirit  and began to speak in other tongues as per we read in Bible Acts 1: 4 and that is promise of Lord Jesus Christ, and build our life with the fruit of the Spirit as we read in Galatians 5;22 because Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control and also we need Spiritual Gifts as per written in Bible 1 Corinthians 12: 7 to 11; The message of Wisdom, Message of Knowledge, Faith, Gifts of Healing, Miraculous Powers, Prophecy, Distinguishing between Spirit, Speaking indifferent kinds of tongues, and Interpretation of Tongues, Because Jesus Christ Crucifixion has crushed the head of the Satan. If we never repent from our sin, then we are keep on crucifying Him, please understand Abraham had brought faith on the plan of salvation & was counted righteousness in his favor. If you will pray for sign and wonder, will appear to your life from the Lord Jesus Christ. He will show you & make your faith strong in your Spirit. Now I will quote the words of Lord Jesus Christ which he delivered him self about the righteousness of Abraham. So that your faith can be more strong day-by-day.

John 8:56: Your father Abraham rejoiced at the thought of seeing my day; he saw it and was glad”. Amen

My dear brothers and sisters, I like to share few things with you, please standup and raise your hand I like to pray for you that Lord Jesus Christ bless you. When you attend the meeting in the first half you are praising to Lord, in the Second half Pastor deliver the sermon for you and in the third half you give the offering to the Lord but I tell you one thing, that the third half should be for your prayer to the Lord Jesus Christ and put your problem, weakness, Spiritual weakness and diseases in front of Him and ask Him Lord, Lord please open your Heaven for me, Lord show me your sign and wonders, Lord I bring faith and believe in your Crucifixion, I repent from my sin, please fulfill me with the Holy Spirit, as per King Hezekiah crying to Lord, Did you hear the word of Jesus Christ? When Abraham saw the plan of salvation. He was happy to see that and that was counted righteousness in his favor. Amen Hallelujah and after prayer you give your offering to the Lord.

Pray for the Congregation
