Introduction to Four Orders

1. God initiated all four orders. 2. In every order God called a “man” to get involve in the order and to take

responsibility to carry on. God changed his name when he select a person for that order. (Only five persons names were changed by God in the Bible).

3. Every order had a “beginning” and therefore it will “end”.4. Every order had a definite purpose and it will be fulfilled.5. We have only three orders now. Creation, Redemption and Church orders.6. There are two kingdoms, Kingdom of Satan and Kingdom of God, and there

is a war between the two.7. We are in any one the order at a time though all are connected with one

another. We can leave one order and enter another.8. New Heaven and New World will begin, when Jesus destroys the Kingdom of

Satan and handover the other Kingdom to Father.

1. In the Redemption order we need to work for every one in the Kingdom of Satan but focus “Four Sinners”.

2. In our home and relatives and among our family.

3. In Church order, we must focus “Four approaches” and develop people in the Kingdom of God, train them to win more people for the Kingdom.

4. District should be our goal.28 June 2011 18Four Orders

We all are in Spiritual WarfareOur equipment—the armor of God (Eph. 6:11, 13-17). Let

us carefully note each piece of armor mentioned here. Paul very obviously takes those pieces of armor worn by the Roman soldier and makes spiritual application to each one.

1. The girdle of truth.2. The breastplate of righteousness. 3. The sandals of the gospel. 4. The shield of faith. 5. The helmet of salvation. 6. The sword of the spirit.

Here is the only one offensive weapon listed among the various pieces of armor. The rest are defensive in nature. The sword of the Spirit is identified as the Word of God (Heb. 4:12). This, then, is the armor the Christian is commanded to wear.

"Satan has no weapons of defense, and so when we resist him he must….” -

Charles H Spurgeon

Man’s responsibility in Redemption OrderAt the beginning:1. Adam was asked to name all the beasts of the field and

all the birds of the air.2. No suitable helper was found for Adam, so God made a

woman. Finally the family started at the garden.At the end:1. Noah was asked to make the Ark and preach for about

120 years before the flood came.2. God always calls His people to involve with Him in his

work, Creation and Redemption work.

Creation was not over until man (Adam) did his

job!

Creation was not destroyed until man (Noah) did

his job!

“And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and

then the end will come”. Matthew 24:14

Redemption order will not be over

until man & woman (you) finish the job!
