(2026_07_11) - Understanding the Operations of Satan and his Angels - Seniors & Grad BM - Pastor Israel Ajiboye

In this episode of Seniors & Grad Brethren Meeting, we examined fallen angels and their operations. It was established that God did not create hell. In the beginning, He created the height (where He placed heaven) and the depth (a space beneath the earth). After the devil and his angels rebelled, they were cast out of heaven and created hell in the depth. We saw that hell has different levels just like heaven does, because the devil replicated the order of heaven in hell. Iniquity was not originally present when God created the heavens and the earth. Satan founded it, first in himself, when he began to seek a life of independence from God (Ezekiel 28:15-18). He then began to teach angels how to corrupt their ways to gain independence from God. They were cast out of heaven because they had already departed in their hearts. In the Garden of Eden, Satan came through the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. By Adam’s disobedience, man’s authority on earth was delivered to the devil. Yet, Satan and fallen angels cannot fully express their dominion on earth without a physical body. Therefore, the devil has been teaching men how to corrupt their ways so he can express himself through them. But Satan will fall and lose his authority when a critical number of men overcome him (Revelation 12:5-9, Isaiah 14:12). Satan, formerly known as Lucifer, was the only cherubim that fell. Some seraphims and first-heaven angels fell with him, too. The operations of these fallen angels can be categorized into two: demonic spirits and evil spirits. Demonic operations are physical, causing accidents, diseases, fights, and so on. Evil spirits war against growth in knowledge of God and ensure the corrupt ways in men remain intact. As believers, we have the right to cast out demons, but we must war with evil spirits by growing in the knowledge of God.

2026_07_11 - Understanding Brethren Life 2: Love For and Submission to the Brethren - Sophomores BM Pastor - David Diya

In this episode of the Gadites USA Juniors meeting, our Pastor taught us the other part of submission which can be seen in James 5:16. We saw the importance of brethren life in our faith journey (Numbers 24). We saw that the Lord uses it as a means to purify our love from worldly lusts and ungodliness. We also saw the differences between the love to all saints and the love of the brethren. Additionally, we saw ways to help our heart towards our brethren. We saw the wisdom in having a lowly mind towards our brethren and not wanting to vaunt ourselves or have preeminence over our brethren as shown in Matthew 7:1-5.

2026_07_11 - Q&A on Understanding the Tabernacle (Part 2): X-raying the Angelic Heavens- Juniors BM- Pastor James Akinjide

In this episode of the Gadites USA Juniors meeting, our Pastor continued the series on “Understanding the Tabernacle and Spiritual Patterns,” building on the previous week’s foundation of recurring pairs in creation. He opened with a review of those patterns — heaven and earth, day and night, sun and moon, male and female — before advancing into the primary anchor text for this session: Psalm 103:19–22. We began by establishing the reality of God’s throne in heaven, drawing from Revelation chapter 4. It was shown that the throne is not a mere chair but a vast, circular expanse, with the four living creatures (cherubims) positioned closest to the center, and the twenty-four elders seated round about in concentric arrangement. This physical, ordered setting in heaven was used to demonstrate that God is a God of deliberate structure, even in the unseen realm. In addition, we explored the hierarchical structure of heavenly beings as outlined in Psalm 103:19–22. The passage was shown to describe three distinct classes of angelic beings in descending order from the throne: first, the angels that excel in strength (cherubims), who do His commandments; second, the hosts and ministers (seraphims), who do His pleasure; and third, the works in all places of His dominion, which correspond to the four subdivisions of principality, power, might, and dominion found in Ephesians 1 and Colossians 1. Furthermore, we learned that the first two classes — cherubims and seraphims — possess what scripture calls “name,” meaning they have defined operations and functions. The third class, though real and significant, does not carry the same operational identity, which is why Paul described Jesus as being raised “far above every name that is named.” This distinction was shown to be consistent with the recurring pattern of two, as the third heaven is essentially an addendum to the second, preserving the foundational dual structure. Ultimately, we saw that this entire heavenly architecture mirrors the structure of the Tabernacle — outer court, holy place, and most holy place — which will be explored in the following session. The teaching concluded by emphasizing that understanding the order of heaven is not abstract theology but directly relevant to the believer’s destiny, as the Father’s good pleasure is to give us His kingdom, qualifying us to become His habitation in the ages to come.
