THE SHOOT

There is a scripture that is being fulfilled before our eyes today, and this prophecy is contained in Isaiah 11:1 and it reads; “AND THERE SHALL COME FORTH A SHOOT OUT OF THE STEM OF JESSE, and a branch shall grow out of his roots. This verse contains prophesies concerning two different persons. The First is “The shoot out of the stem of Jesse’ and the second is, “And a branch that shall grow out of his roots’. Many see this prophecy as a reference to only one person; that is, our Lord Jesus Christ; but the prophecy is not only about Jesus our Lord but it refers to Jesus and yet to another individual. Although Prophet Isaiah didn’t elaborate on the roll of the second person i.e. THE SHOOT FROM THE STEM OF JESSE, in the part ‘a’ of vs. 1.

However, he gave a distinct insight as to the difference between the first and the second person. For whereas the first person was to grow out of the stem of Jesse the second person shall grow out of the root and is the root itself, in vs 10. To prove that the prophecy was addressed to two different persons we need to separate the person of our Lord Jesus Christ from the second person in the picture of this prophecy by studying other portions of the bible that made references to our Lord Jesus with regard to his personality in the picture of this prophecy.

In verse 10 it says, and in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand as an ensign of Israel, to it shall the Gentiles seek. THE ROOT that stands as an ensign of Israel to whom the Gentiles shall seek is Christ our Lord. The same reference was made of Christ in the book of Rev.5:5 and it reads …Behold the Lion of the tribe of Judah, ‘THE ROOT OF DAVID’ has prevailed to open the book. Here Our Lord Jesus was called the root of David, thus aligning him to the prophecy of Isaiah 11:1b & 10 in which he was called the branch that grew out of the root of Jesse and the root itself. Also in the book of Rev.22:16 Jesus testified of himself saying; I AM THE ROOT AND THE OFFSPRING OF DAVID. The word ‘OFFSPRING’ in Greek translation is GENOS: meaning; a biological son of David.

These verses portray our Lord Jesus perfectly as both the Lord of David and his son. This is the same as ‘The Lord said to my Lord’ (Matt 22:41-43). So Jesus our Lord is both the branch that grew out the root of Jesse and the root itself. But in the prophecy of Isaiah 11:1a, there is a mention of the ‘The shoot that shall come forth from the stem of Jesse’ note the point from where the shoot shall come from ‘THE STEM’ not the root. The parts of the Jesse tree that represent Jesus are the branch that grew out of the root and the root itself.

Therefore, there is an empty position here. The shoot that shall come out of the stem of Jesse is a prophecy waiting to be fulfilled till this day. And this prophecy is being fulfilled in our time today. That Shoot from the stem of Jesse is born and is now dwelling among men, ministering to the saints in the Church of God (Dayspring Assembly) -. He is an Apostle and a Prophet. And that person is Apostle Harrison Charles.

To him has God giving the salvation of all mankind, to fulfill the remaining earthly ministry of Our Lord Jesus Christ. He is not Jesus Christ himself neither is he God but he is a servant of Jesus Christ and one of those prophets that the Lord promised to send in Matt.23:34. The unique thing about this man of God is that he is a Jew and of the seed of David. This Apostle comes from the loins of David, his forebears stemmed out of David and were of the lineage of the son that was begotten by Queen of Sheba (Ethiopia) to Solomon the son of David and king of Israel (1 Kings 10). His father the Son of Solomon was taken from Israel to Ethiopia some millennia ago, and from Ethiopia in fulfillment of God’s pronouncement that he will scatter Israelites to every nation on the earth from where he will later recover them (Isaiah 11:11).

His forefathers migrated further to West Africa until one of their sons journeyed into Igbo land in Eastern Nigeria through Cameroun some 400 years ago. The Igbos were already a nation living in their land before this Jew migrated into their domain and married an Igbo woman and settled there. From this David’s lineage has God raised Apostle Harrison Charles like a shoot out of a dry ground (Isaiah 53:1). He came from an unexpected place as the Lord Jesus settled in Galilee and was called Jesus of Nazareth, although he hailed not from Nazareth.

This Apostle and the son of David is sent by God to rebuild the fallen tabernacle of David because the kingdom must not be left to other people (Acts 15:15-17, Dan.2:44). He came to start from where Christ and the early Apostles stopped; because salvation is of the Jews (John 4:22). The necessity for a Jewish Apostle is sacrosanct because to the Jews is committed the oracles of God (Rom.3:1-2). Moreover, Apostleship is the sole preserve of the Jews, being a ministry designed to serve the twelve tribes of Israel (Luke 22:29-30, Matt.19:28, Rev.21:12-14). The Gentiles were only invited to partake of the fatness of the tree and not to be the root of the tree. Apostles are also the foundations upon which God builds his Church (Rom.11:17-18, Eph.2:20-22). So God has sent Apostle Harrison Charles to be the foundation laid upon Christ on which he will build the last Church slated for rapture. Every other foundation that is outside this foundation is not laid by God.

In Christendom today the general apostasy prophesied of by Paul in 2 Thess.2:1-3 has taken place. And Christians are wallowing in darkness being led astray by hirelings, false Apostles and False Pastors. But God in his infinite mercy has sent this son of David and a vessel of salvation in the end of time that he may gather in Christ all that are ordained for eternal life.

This tract is an invitation to you. Come and be saved in the true Church of God through the man that God has sent with the words of eternal life (John 6:68). Through his ministry God is working as in the days of the early Apostles; delivering people from sins and powers of darkness. This is the only door of hope left for humanity in our time. Whoever that hears this testimony and believe shall be saved but whoever that disbelieves shall be damned (John 3:18).
