In this message, Pastor Olubi Johnson unveils the apostle John as the perfect disciple, just as Paul is the pattern apostle. While Paul models apostolic doctrine, revelation, and the perfection of the Church, John reveals the higher pathway of discipleship—intimacy, love, obedience, and closeness to the heart of Jesus. To grow beyond merely being born again and into true maturity, believers must study and live the revelations contained in John’s short but power-packed epistles.
John’s authority is rooted in experience, not theory. He did not merely hear about Christ—he heard, saw, handled, and lived with the Word of Life. Through this firsthand encounter, it dawned on John that the Man they ate and slept beside was in fact the Creator of heaven and earth, walking humbly among His creation. Jesus’ quiet humility—operating as a man while being God—sets the ultimate pattern for every believer who desires perfection.
This message confronts the error of reducing Jesus to the level of other prophets or religious figures. Christ is not merely faithful in the house like Moses—He is the Builder of the house. His miracles, from raising the dead to feeding multitudes, were not displays of theatrics but revelations of divine identity, gradually opening the disciples’ eyes to who He truly was.
At the heart of John’s message is perfect love. The goal of the Christian life is not power without character, but the perfection of God’s love, which is attained by consistently keeping His Word. Jesus’ new commandment—to love one another as He loved us—calls believers to a divine standard of love governed by wisdom, truth, and obedience, not sentiment alone.
As this love is perfected, fear is expelled, and believers gain boldness before God—knowing they have passed the test of obedience on earth. This maturity prepares the Church for the coming manifestation of the sons of God, where divine wisdom, character, and consistent supernatural power will be revealed to a world that currently does not recognize who believers truly are.
The message also issues a sober balance: prosperity and health must never exceed the prosperity of the soul. Without humility, revelation knowledge, and spiritual fruit, material increase becomes dangerous. True sonship is revealed when love, wisdom, power, and obedience walk together—just as they did in Christ, and just as John modeled for us.
