(2026_06_06) - The Process of Renewal of the Soul for Salvation - High School & Freshmen BM - Pastor Greatness Olaitan

In this special episode of the Gadites USA High School & Freshmen Brethren Meeting, our Pastor continued building upon the foundation of the process of the salvation of the soul. It was emphasized that even after the new birth, the soul still consists of old things. These old things, specifically corruption and deceitful lusts, can only be put off when a person commits to the learning of Christ. We saw that when a person fully learns Christ, their soul enters into a state of being in Christ, just as the spirit was at the new birth. Additionally, it was established that for the inward man to be fully renewed, one must become a new man. A new man is one whose sole focus is pleasing God. We saw that achieving this requires living a lifestyle patterned after Jesus’ heavenly conversation. New things will only enter the soul through feeding upon and obeying the knowledge of Christ. A believer remains at risk of perishing if they consistently give themselves to the wrong knowledge. Ultimately, it was explained that we must give ourselves to daily believing unto the salvation of our souls. The Holy Ghost was sent to us to reveal what we must believe. Therefore, we must become familiar with the Spirit of Truth if we are to know the truth that makes us free from corruption. Certain habits, such as attending meetings, reading the Bible, and praying, are essential to ensure a believer does not draw back unto perdition. Finally, having an accountability partner to ensure we are consistently engaging in these activities will significantly aid a believer's growth and journey toward the salvation of the soul.

(2026_06_06) - Q & A on X-raying Heavens — Understanding the Angelic (Part 2) - Seniors & Grad BM - Pastor Israel Ajiboye

In this special episode of the Gadites USA Seniors & Grad Brethren Meeting, our Pastor continued the series on the angelic, building upon the foundation already established. He began by emphasizing that angels respond only to God, not to men. Hence, it is not safe for a believer to seek angelic encounters. He highlighted that such visions, which must always be verified by Scripture, do not add to a person’s spirituality. Angels are messengers of God and can speak in the first person in God's stead when delivering His message. The core of the message focused on an in-depth look at the three strata of the angelic. It was reiterated that there are three distinct angelic cadres, each with varying access to God. The first-heaven angels are referred to as His works in all places of His dominion (Psalm 103:22). They are kingly in nature. The first heaven can be likened to the Outer Court in the Tabernacle of Moses, where Levites and kings primarily minister. We saw that these angels are closest to man and primarily minister to man’s carnal needs. Furthermore, we saw that the seraphims in the second heaven are flames of fire that constitute the mount of the congregation. The second heaven is likened to the Holy Place in the tabernacle, as seen in Isaiah 6:1–6. God is known in their midst as the Lord of Hosts, because He visits there. God dwells in the third heaven, between the cherubim (Psalm 80:1). The third heaven is the Most Holy Place, and the throne of God is signified by the Ark of the Covenant. Ultimately, the angelic pattern is similar to how the Lord is raising believers. The Lord is preparing believers to be angels of the world to come. We will be the actual creatures that will show forth the originality of the heavens. We are not allowed to do less than the angels; we must be better than them. Therefore, there are certain things we will not be permitted to do on our journey to holiness

2026_06_06 - Questions /Answers-Understanding the Love of the Brethren (Charity)- Juniors BM

In this episode of the Gadites USA Juniors meeting, our Pastor continued the series on the Gradations of Love, focusing on the third level: the “Love of the Brethren.” He established that while God’s love extends to all men and specifically to all saints, there is a profound depth found only in the brotherhood of those whose spirits have been quickened and made alive in Christ. We began by exploring the binary nature of the spiritual realm, distinguishing between those who are spiritually dead and those who are spiritually alive. Using a testimony from Kenneth E. Hagin, it was emphasized that “brethren” strictly refers to fellow believers because a shared spiritual life is the only basis for true brotherhood. We saw that while an unbeliever’s spirit is naturally drawn away from God, a believer’s spirit is designed to ascend toward Him. In addition, we saw the critical distinction between Relationship and Fellowship. While relationship is established automatically through spiritual rebirth, fellowship is a deliberate investment of time, proximity, and love. Through 1 John 1:1-3, we saw that the Apostle John invited fellow believers—who already had a relationship with God—into a deeper fellowship that provides access to the inner workings and secrets of the Father. Furthermore, we saw that spiritual access and revelation are not distributed equally among all believers but are measured by one’s capacity for fellowship. Using John 5:19-20, Pastor illustrated that because the Father loves the Son, He shows Him “all things.” This reveals that the depth of our intimacy with God determines the level of spiritual gifts, access, and judgment He entrusts to us. Ultimately, we learned that we must not settle for just being part of God’s family but must actively cultivate fellowship with Him. The teaching concluded by instructing the juniors that love is the foundation of this intimacy, and just as love gives, God shares His deepest resources with those who choose to walk in close proximity to Him. This sets the stage for understanding how to increase our capacity to receive the deep things of the Spirit through a life of dedicated fellowship.
