Father, this is my night, the night to
reconnect with my destiny. Lay your hands on me oh Lord in Jesus name.
Who is this great shepherd? Heb 13: 20-21.
Jesus is the great shepherd.
There are many nations but in reality two
nations.
Many families but two families in reality
Only two kinds of men in reality
Several destinations, but only two
Two families, but must belong to one
2 nationalities
Two tribes
Family: Sheep and Goat family, you must
belong to one

Nigeria, America etc
Mat 25: 31- 46
There are nations of sheep and nation of goats. There was great
separation by the great shepherd. Not black and white, not rich and poor.
Who is a goat and who is a sheep?
Who are these nations of sheep and of goats?
We have the sheep on the right and goats on the left. Who am
I, let me find out?
Character and
behavior of goats: curios and independent in character, can’t be contained,
they don’t want domestication, they only keep them within a boundary, they
easily get into trouble, they break away because of their independent
tendencies
Sheep: always follow their leader without questioning, they
stay within the fence, they have confidence and assurance in the flock, they
stay in their boundaries, they remain domesticated, they are hardly ever wild.
Wild goats are found in abundance everywhere.
Feeding behavior:
how they eat, goats always eat anything but sheep are selective and eat from
the soft grass on the ground, natural grazers, goats eats everywhere.
Are you a goat or sheep?
Goat: I have something outside the direction of the
shepherd, unruly and disobedient, scatter things and destroy things easily.
Judas loved money, Balaam was a goat, loves money and profit, so they went away
from righteousness. Do you love sin, eat anyhow, are you a drunkard, abuser of
drugs, glutton, look for miracle from false prophets, follow miracle workers,
follow magicians carrying bible in their
hands, you don’t listen to the shepherd? Do you say you love the word of God
and are always challenging it? You are a goat. You enjoy sin because you are a
goat.
Sheep follows the leader, happy to stay in the house, goats
steal and run, do you steal and are you stubborn? Sheep does not argue with the
shepherd. “Many are religious but not all will enter my kingdom. Only those
doing the will of my father” Jesus says.
Some goats can prophesy, I never knew you Jesus said to
them, even Judas cast out devils. You can’t masturbate, drink and keep
concubines as you are told by a pastor leading you to hell.
The rich man lived like a goat, did not listen to any
pastor, died like a goat, you can’t live the way you like and think you can
make it to the Kingdom of God
Do you listen to Jesus and obey His instruction?
Family of those who obey. Luke 13:23-28. Strive to enter by
the narrow way. Do you know that goats multiply faster than sheep?
What does your character tell you? Jesus said I don’t know
you. May be you attended convention, saw miracles, but you refused to change.
You are a goat
Are you walking in iniquity or righteousness, one person can
transform your life, He can change your DNA. He is Jesus Christ. When He calls
you, you will answer. You will not deny
Him
Sometime before you stopped smoking but now smoke in secret,
do you now keep concubine, come back to the shepherd today. Do you want to be
free? Come unto me all ye that labour and are troubled? I will set you free.
A goat will hear and say next time, that is not for me, the
goat questions the decision of the shepherd, but you need help, transformation,
so, why argue with the voice speaking to you now?
Mat 25, there will be separation, sheep to the right, goats
to the left
I want to call the sheep tonight with the voice of the shepherd;
you want to have eternal life? Come now. Sheep that went back and became goats;
it’s time to return to the fold. God is calling you now. Come and give your
life to the shepherd, they will be forgiven and you will be blessed.
Do you want to reconnect with the great shepherd? To follow
the great shepherd, come today.
