(2026_05_30) - Desiring the Salvation of the Soul - High School & Freshmen BM - Pastor Greatness Olaitan

In this episode of the Gadites USA High School & Freshmen Brethren Meeting, our Pastor continued the series on the Tripartite Nature of Man, building upon the foundation laid in the previous week. He reiterated that man is a spirit, who has a soul, and lives in a body. We learned that the spirit is the inner man, the soul is the inward man and the body is the outward man. It was established that only the spirit of man was quickened and made a new creature at the new birth. The soul, which consists of the heart and mind, had previously walked according to the course of this world. The devil had held the soul captive, training it in the ways of sin. Therefore, it is impossible for the soul to be fully renewed in a single day. Because of this, the renewal of the soul is a process known as the salvation of the soul. We learned that the salvation of the soul means delivering it from its ingrained inability to consistently obey God’s commandments. A saved soul is one that has been transformed to the point where it no longer desires to turn away from God.

(2026_05_30) - Q & A on X-raying Heavens — Understanding the Angelic - Seniors & Grad BM - Pastor Israel Ajiboye

In this episode of the Gadites USA Seniors and Grad Brethren Meeting, our Pastor took an in-depth look into the heaven of angels. He explained that angels exist in three cadres, just as the tabernacle of Moses, which had three segments, was made after the pattern of the heavenlies. These cadres of angels are distinguished by their garments, just as the Levites, priests, and the high priest were distinguished by theirs. The third heaven is the highest heaven, the paradise of God. We established that angelic cadres are also referred to as their habitations or estates. Their placement in different estates is determined by the specific wisdom and knowledge the angels possess. It was emphasized that angels were created with a measure of the wisdom and knowledge of God that they can never increase or reduce. Unlike human beings, they cannot be taught to grow spiritually. Furthermore, all angels are His messengers. As seen in Psalm 103:20–21, the angels in the third heaven are known as God’s angels, the second cadre are God’s hosts, and the first heaven angels are known as His works. Man’s expression of dominion ought to be in the heaven of the earth, while angels’ expression of dominion ought to be in their own heavens, and God’s kingdom ought to rule over all. Ultimately, we saw that angels are tied to specific purposes of God. They were made to serve God and minister to men until men can house all of God in their hearts. Angels were created as a pattern to show man how to build a habitation for God, as the heavens cannot house God. The ultimate intention of God is to dwell in men.

(2026_05_30) -Laying On of Hands - Sophomore BM - Pastor David Diya

In this episode of the Gadites USA Sophomore meeting, our Pastor emphasized the necessity of spiritual responsibility and diligence in our walk with God. He laid out the significance of the “Laying on of Hands” as a foundational doctrine, highlighting how it serves as a spiritual technology for the transfer of graces and the building up of the saints to walk in their divine purpose. We began by establishing that our profit in spiritual meetings is tied to our internal posture and responsibility. It was emphasized that we must repent of casual attitudes, such as lateness or lack of focus, to fully receive the life the Lord provides through His Word. We briefly revisited the doctrine of baptisms, noting that being born again is only the admission into “nursing school,” and that one must undergo consistent teaching to truly embody the life of a Christian. In addition, we saw that the “gifts of men” mentioned in Ephesians 4:8-11—Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors, and Teachers; are not merely offices but are the very hands of Christ given to the church. These gifts are men who were once captives themselves but were taken by Jesus to serve as conduits for spiritual blessings. Just as a hand has five fingers, the five-fold ministry acts as the fingers of Jesus to reach, touch, and build the body of Christ. Furthermore, we saw that the laying on of hands is a natural principle with a profound spiritual reality, used for the transfer of anointing, wisdom, and healing. It is also a means of identification and ordination, where spiritual authority recognizes and sends forth those called by God. We learned that the “present evil world” constantly attempts to lay its own hands on us through media and worldly influences, but the five-fold ministry is designed to deliver us from these pressures and anchor us in the power of the Gospel. Ultimately, the goal of this doctrine is to move us away from a “lone ranger” mentality and into a life of healthy submission to spiritual authority. By placing ourselves under the hands the Lord has provided, we receive the guidance and spiritual substance necessary to mature. This foundation prepares us for a deeper exploration of both vertical and horizontal submission, which are essential for our prosperity and growth in the realm of the Spirit.

(2026_05_30) - Q & A on Understanding the Different Gradations of Love Part 2 - Juniors BM - Pastor James Akinjide

In this episode of the Gadites USA Juniors meeting, our Pastor continued the series on the subject of love, building upon the foundation established in the previous week. He reiterated that love is not self-generated but originates from the Godhead, and its true definition is found only in God, as stated in 1 John 4:16. The teaching emphasized that love is a commandment, not a suggestion, and its nature can be cultivated by acquiring the knowledge of the truth that is in Jesus. The core of the message focused on the “gradations of love,” explaining that love has different expressions and strength levels based on relationships. Just as human relationships dictate the depth of love shown—such as the unique love between spouses compared to acquaintances—God also expresses His love differently. While God loves all men and desires their salvation, He does not share the same depth of relationship or fellowship with everyone. The Pastor highlighted that the fruit of love is giving, and the measure of love is determined by the level of relationship. Furthermore, the teaching outlined four broad categories or gradations of love: love for all men, love unto all the saints, love of the brethren, and love of God. Love for all men, including unbelievers, is described as superficial because the relationship lacks depth. However, believers are still called to show this love through their lifestyle and conversation, drawing others to Christ. Love unto all the saints involves sharing and supporting fellow believers, regardless of denomination, while maintaining a firm stance on the doctrine of Christ. Ultimately, the Pastor distinguished between “neighbor” and “brethren,” noting that while we are commanded to love our neighbor as ourselves, the love for brethren—those who share the same doctrine and testimony of life—requires a deeper commitment, even to the point of laying down one’s life. This deeper love, referred to as charity, involves sharing one’s very life, not just material goods. The session concluded by encouraging believers to exercise wisdom in how they measure out love, ensuring they are guided by the Holy Spirit rather than being exploited.
