Welcome Just Handaway Tagalog Sermon Podcast, your daily dose of inspiring,
-
heartfelt tagalog sermons from different factors and speakers all over
-
the Philippines. We hope that this podcast finds you in
-
good shame and now here's your message.
-
You're listening to a message from Victory. God's character, commandments
-
and promised blessings do not change. Discover more about this
-
truth in week three of our series remember this.
-
Let's start this week with Malachai thri verse one and said, behold,
-
I sent my messenger, and he will prepare the way
-
before me, and the Lord whom you seek will suddenly
-
come to this temple. The messenger there talk us about
-
John the Baptists. It is very strategic. The prophet Malachi
-
is saying, there will be a messenger in the person
-
of John. He's reminded me people, okay, he's just a messenger,
-
but then the Messiah would come. And then he's asking,
-
are you seeking that Lord? Are you seeking that Lord?
-
Is that you're looking for? Maybe you're so you're so
-
focused right now on the what I don't have. I
-
want this. I hope I have this office made a blessed,
-
my promise, open a man Christian as kids. Nasana Nasana
-
Malaki actually referred this to how they build the temple
-
eighty years eight years after Zacharayah and Hagai promised the
-
building of the temple because the Lord said, when you
-
build a temple, his glory will be there. But then
-
they're asking where is God's glory? Not even his glory
-
is there. There's no manifestation of God's glory. Though God
-
was certainly alive and well. It was a period where
-
God's people was waiting, waiting, waiting Are you in this
-
season right now? That is like a waiting game. It's
-
like your your faith is being tested. Now you know
-
that faith is not by sight really a waiting game.
-
It's it is a waiting game. It is a waiting gay.
-
Unlike the where the Golden State Warriors fan, Lakers fan
-
Lakers fan, unlike any of those games. We know this endgame.
-
We know the endgame of our relationship with God. Jesus
-
is victorious. He was hanged on the cross, died peers
-
by all our transgressions, but then after three days he
-
lived and now seated at the right kind of God.
-
This is a different game. Yes, we're waiting but we
-
know the endgame? Right? Are we living a victorious life?
-
Do people see victory in us? Or they only see
-
victory in us? Because may stay r TiO, may post dio.
-
I'm in victory. Green is now listening to the most
-
handsome pastor in that church, young Victoria style. But in
-
our lives it's not actually being seen. Hebrews eleven, verse
-
one said faith is confidence in what we hope for
-
and assurance about what we do not see, what we
-
don't see. You have thirty six days Christmas is here,
-
the years about to end. Lord doesign your promis? And yeah,
-
h Lord, Lord, what do you do? Let me post
-
this question? What do we do? All of us? What
-
do we do? If your present situation is far from promising?
-
It's far from promising. You know that you have a promise,
-
that God has a promise for you, But what do
-
you do? How are you doing? How are we doing?
-
In Malachi three, verse six said here for I the Lord,
-
do not change. Everybody say do not change for God
-
does not change for eye the Lord. Do not change
-
for eye the Lord for eye the Lord. That's very big,
-
that's an awesome statement, pointing to a fact that I
-
am your creator. God says, I hold everything together for you. Hey,
-
I am the Alpha and the Omega. I know you,
-
I know the count of your hair. I am God,
-
and guess what you are. If he's God, we are not.
-
That's a fact. That's a statement of a fact. There.
-
That he is Lord means pa. See Lord did Babago
-
tae you and Madeles Macbago. He does not change. That's
-
his character. When we talk about character, we talk about
-
he's unchanging his characters is immutability. Immutability means this. This
-
actually is the hinge for all of his character because
-
he is unchanging God. God is unchanging in his character,
-
in his will and covenant promises. If we are we,
-
if our faith is only by sight promise. I was
-
talking to a a mom and and and this mom
-
is going to something in the hospital and then men,
-
so I was asking, I was asking her do you
-
want do you want another kid? He has she has
-
two sons, And I was asking, do you want another
-
another kid? Do you want a daughter? Well? Helanda man
-
can willia Lord ok ann. But it's different when you
-
know that your sons and daughters and you claim those
-
will that it's unchanging because he's not well. I'm going
-
to this operation. And now, Lord, do you want to
-
have a daughter, And she said, yes, I do, but
-
depending on WILLI Lord? No, no, no, no, no no no.
-
I kept on insisting, do you want to have a daughter, yes,
-
Why don't you claim it? Why don't you pray for it?
-
The willing Lord? Yes, Malam, you will the Lord. But
-
it's different when we know who we talk about it.
-
It's it talks about a relationship. It talks about a relationship.
-
God sees what's inside our hearts. He said, for I
-
the Lord, immutable, unchanging, Okay, immutable. What comes to mind
-
is x men, x men and x men mutants. They
-
can become a different Parcelona. Not only that, some can
-
turn evil and then some can turn good. Not God,
-
He's not changing, no matter what your situation, no matter
-
what our situation is right now, He does not change.
-
He does not change. He is not hinged on the
-
situation that we are in our faith. Sometimes because we
-
don't have a relationship we got, we don't have a
-
deep relationship, we don't have a strong relationship with God.
-
It hinges on situations. But God does not change. Tire
-
you on tire. You ever changing, because see God unchanging,
-
We as humans sometimes are ever changing depending on situations.
-
In David says in Some one O two says, here
-
of all you lay the foundation of the earth, and
-
the heavens are the work of your hands.
-
They will perish, but you will remain. They will they
-
will all wear out like a garment. You will change
-
them like a robe, and they will pass away. But
-
you are the same, and your years has no end.
-
Talks about God who created everything for us. Bisha mcbabago
-
hindi magbago in Eypna.
-
It's different. I'm a parent of three children, seventeen year old,
-
a fifteen year old and a seven year old. My
-
youngest daughter Lara, she would always change her mind. Okay,
-
I'm Pina favorite timea bom b haya is her birthday
-
bin Ladona name birthday Yahgan thirteen years old. Jah, Okay,
-
this this birthday, I want here, this birthday, I want here.
-
Just last night she was like, okay, Mom, I remember
-
you had a picture that you rode an elephant. Where
-
was that? That's in Thailand? Okay, can I have my
-
eighth birthday there? Okay? Last the Opina eight birthday. Yes,
-
a kid zunaj Ma lacking jump on from Kidsuna to Thailand.
-
Like my eldest son. He's going to college now. He
-
took already all the different entrance exams and then but
-
whenever I ask him, different different course, different schooling. But
-
the character of God, it's immutable. It does not change.
-
God does not change. This is important to to pound
-
on because if we believe that he can change, change
-
can say it's a variable. When you say change, there's
-
a beginning, right like bags and then end state there's
-
another end and then another beginning. The Bible said God
-
is the alpha in the omega, no beginning, no end.
-
The song a while ago that we sang, he said,
-
he's constant, no boundaries, He's internal, nothing, universe. The guy
-
see that ty in our own finite mind. We tend
-
to put him there, but the vastness of him knows
-
no boundaries, no beginning, and no end. He's his character
-
doesn't change through to the fact that from being good,
-
he cannot be bad. He's not. He's eternally good. He's
-
eternally perfect. His eternity, his character is a mission. He
-
knows everything and everything he controls. That's important. If we
-
know that God is immutable, that means that we can
-
trust him. If we know we try to serve a God,
-
but we know that he's changing, would you trust him?
-
Would we trust him? But God is imputable, so we
-
can trust him and trust him fully. It's continued with
-
verse six said, so you descend us of Jacob, are
-
not destroyed. That's you and me. That's a fact. That's
-
a we are descendants of Jacob. That means if we
-
feel like God is changing because we see our situation,
-
because you you young, young, young line of sight, noting
-
our situation only it's all about me, me, me, me me.
-
When we feel like He is unchanging, that scary thought,
-
that means maybe now he saved us, gave us mercy. Tomorrow. Yeah,
-
now I save you, not tomorrow I will destroy you. No, No,
-
I don't even I don't. I don't even entertain that thought.
-
It's not about our situation. It's about who he is,
-
his true character. Verse seven said another fact, He said,
-
from the days of your father's you have turned aside
-
from my statutes and have not kept them. This is God.
-
This is like a discussion between stilighting God. It call
-
you call but before we actually accuse God, we need
-
to have a deep assessment of where we are. You know,
-
it's easy, it's easy. Every time there's an accusing finger something,
-
it's easy to just deflect and say that's not me.
-
But let's not do that with God. Let's not play
-
around with God with our relationship. If you play around
-
the relationship, that's not a relationship. That's a religion. And
-
what we're what we're praying for, is a relationship. Here
-
are some implications because of God's immitability. Okay, first, it's
-
because God does not change. We can return to God.
-
Everybody say return. Because God does not change, we can
-
actually receive all his blessings. Who wants blessings for blessings?
-
Because God does not change, we can rejoice in him.
-
These are implications of his character immitability. Now we can,
-
He actually invites us to return to him. God knows, Yes,
-
God knows the sin that you did on your way here.
-
God knows if you're sinning right now because you're nodding
-
to your pastors, but you're thinking about justice league later.
-
God knows what you will sin on tomorrow and the
-
next day, and the next day and the next day.
-
But still he invites you and I and it doesn't
-
change sometimes tilmayo Ti is a gravity see that in taio. Okay,
-
this is not for God to know to Maybe God
-
doesn't understand this, maybe maybe maybe not here in verse seven,
-
he said return to me, and I will return to you,
-
says the Lord of Hosts. There's no preconditions. It just said,
-
just return to me. Period. My school loves me so much. Okay,
-
my school loves me so much they give me an
-
honorary degree because every year they will retain me because
-
I'm really an honorable student. So in honor and lack
-
of by retaining me every year, okay, and every time
-
my mom has to go and then sign something probationary. Uh,
-
something probationary A fifty percent of the school in the
-
Probably I'm on probation for them to accept me. There
-
are preconditions that I have to meet. Then after after
-
one grading period, they would assess if I'll be allowed
-
the rest of the year. Not God, He takes us
-
in as we are dirty, messy, sinning, just since a
-
while ago, sinning. Now we're sin tomorrow. Come to me,
-
return to me, period the Lord. And then Lord the
-
the maya Lord. Sometimes because of our pride, we even
-
say that Lord, come to me, return to him. He's
-
never changing. He doesn't change the way he looks at us.
-
He loves us as we are, loves us as we are.
-
You know how so so how how shall we? How
-
shall we return? Because of this discussion, God was actually
-
checking what's inside our hearts, especially when it said this
-
and Malachi three Versaid said, will man rob God? Yet
-
you are rubbing me? But you say, how have we
-
robbed you? In your tights and contributions? Remember last week
-
talked about this last week, bring the first fruits you
-
about go worship, not the pinilpa okay, not this fresh too,
-
one hundred percent quality standard app into we begin, not
-
into ninety nine percent doing okay, ninety eight percent, begin
-
a think, hey Lord, we keep some for ourselves. It's
-
as if that Maubu's and Tayo we tend to think
-
that way. Why if we think that we are slaves servants,
-
that's the that's the slave mentality, servants mentality. But if
-
we know that our relationship is our based on being
-
sons and daughters, that's different, right, that's different. I know
-
that from my children in the house, everything is theirs,
-
even though I bought them. My prayer is that you
-
won't be like me. This this is a confession years
-
back before I became a disciple in peraira to put
-
repairs happened. Bo. It's in the Bible. Hello, but in
-
a long gina mucha tits and offering. You know, actually
-
for me, if we don't talk about money, yes, do
-
you know that in the Bible eight hundred times the
-
Bible talked about money eight hundred times. That's a lot.
-
Eight hundred times he talked about money. And if you
-
go to a church that doesn't talk about money, how
-
to handle money, what the money is for, and how
-
God would continue to to to to bless us that
-
he gave us the ability to produce wealth, then be
-
scared because something's wrong with that church. Why did God
-
talk about money? Because they know that God knows our heart,
-
He knows us too well. He knows that that's usually
-
our downfall when blessings come. We can't contain it. We
-
thought that everything that we ask is ours, and we
-
forgot what is due to our Lord eight hundred times.
-
Even different referrals to how money can corrupt us you know,
-
it's good that God talked about that because it's the
-
most trivial, the most temporal. What what what what I mean? Temporal?
-
You can bring it to heaven temporarybago I value it.
-
I remember I wanted to go to Europe and then
-
so I kept on saving on different moneys in Europe.
-
You might go to com places like Germany, London and
-
then uh London, France too. When they change to a
-
batta euro well on value, well on value, temporal, temporary, trivial,
-
it's tangible. You can even bring them to heaven. You can't.
-
God talks about that, and God is asking, now, what's
-
in our hearts? Matthew says, where your treasure is there,
-
your heart will be also what's in our hearts? God
-
is not just them. God is not after our tights.
-
He's not He's after our hearts. He's after our hearts.
-
If we think that we can rob God by not
-
giving our tights, this is important. Hang on to this.
-
If you actually think that you can rob God with
-
tights and offering, you can rub him and cheat him
-
of anything. That's scary, and that's true. Tiights is just
-
between you and God. If you can rub him of that.
-
You can rub him of your time, your quiet time,
-
you're alone time with here, You're you can actually cheat
-
on him. You can actually even cheat on different relationships
-
if you can rub God. He's after our hearts. He's
-
after our hearts more than our tights. Tights. It's not
-
about the pestle, about the decimal, well, it's not. It's
-
all entirely about the purity of our hearts. Talk us
-
about lordship. Are we one hundred percent for God? Or
-
are we just ninety nine ninety seven good enough? I
-
have this story. I asked permission from my wife to
-
tell you this story. We prayed about it also, and
-
I have some of our leaders about this. This is
-
the legacy wall. This legacy wall in Every Nation Building
-
Phase two. I just want to prove a point that
-
God doesn't actually need our money. Okay, are you seeing you?
-
In context? Back, it's not been the pastore. God doesn't
-
need our money. That doesn't unty, but he's after our hearts. Again,
-
in context, when when we started the Every Nation Building
-
Phase two three years ago, almost four years ago, and
-
it was going to be built, we joined one of
-
the fundraisings and in that fundraising fundraising. We my wife
-
and I we prayed about it, and we prayed hard
-
and said, okay, we're gonna give to this building. Why
-
because we believe that this will advance God's kingdom. Not
-
because I'm a staff, but because it is actually made
-
duty as a Christian. So when we went there, prayed
-
about it and then we we we pledged for a
-
virtual wall in virtual all par iPad iPad and then
-
it would the pledge would take around less than one
-
hundred thousand. I said, okay, one hundred thousand, pray time, pray,
-
come in. Then boom sealed lo and behold. Two years after,
-
actually twenty three months after. Twenty three months after, somebody
-
from the Ministry department called us and said, sir, by
-
the way we are, you have been now considered to
-
be part of the legacy Wall. And we were like, wow,
-
parana kama Lisila legacy wall is around two and a
-
half more than what we actually pledge. When I checked
-
me with my wife and I said, okay, how did
-
that happenasla amaanion pledge. But we still kept on giving
-
because why because we ask the Lord? We ask the Lord,
-
And this very verse struck to our mind, it is
-
him who will build his church if you completely trust
-
in the immitability of God. He asked you to be
-
involved in this. Oh, my Lord, we build me in
-
church to okay, I want to take part. He gives
-
me now even that extra ability to give for his house.
-
That's who That's the God that we serve. That's who
-
he is. He's after our hearts, not our money. Never
-
Verse nine, your curse with a curse for you robbing
-
me the whole nation off you. The past three weeks
-
I've been doing book study on the book of Leviticus,
-
and every time there's a promise, and there's always a
-
all the the reminders, all the offerings. You do this
-
when you when you are bad, you do this reminders,
-
offerings remind their offerings. And then different events after events,
-
uh pass over, the harvest for the season, the feast
-
for feast. But what scared scares me is every time,
-
every time that you actually don't obey, there's a consequence.
-
I'm not saying, I'm not implying in our situation right
-
now if that is like a curse. But what I'm
-
getting at is we be aware that if he is
-
after our heart, we have to check the condition now
-
of our hearts. What's the condition of our hearts? He
-
wants us to return and to return to his fold fully.
-
Second point, my second point is because God does not change,
-
we can now receive all his blessings, all his blessings,
-
not just partial blessings. Okay, are in our night mind
-
you wired tie and Okay, if I do this, I
-
get this in return. But God is different. Before we
-
Roman said, before we actually friends of God, we were sinners.
-
He already took us in his fall. How many of
-
you here, you're citizens of the Philippines, Filipino citizens. You
-
pay taxes, You pay taxes, raisans, raycians, Well, MBI RD,
-
that's not why. How many of you hear you? You
-
pay the right taxes. You even know we pay taxes,
-
actually pay rightful tax We pay taxes because we acknowledge
-
that we're under the government governance of this nation, right
-
because we're citizens. But I haven't found a biblical scripture,
-
so I'm treading on a very thin line here. But
-
look at this pattern. Listen, if we consider ourselves to
-
be under the kingship lordship of Jesus Christ, we call
-
ourselves a sons and daughters. Are we not ought to
-
give our tithes and offering because we want to be
-
under his kingship. You know what's good about his kingship.
-
Let's go back to the chosen week one. When he
-
chose us. He protects us, and he even preserves us.
-
If you're under his kingship, he protects you and preserves you.
-
In Machi verse ten said bring the full tithe into
-
the storehouse, then there may be food in my house.
-
And thereby put me to the test, says the Lord
-
of hosts. If I will not open the windows of
-
heaven to you and our and pour down for you
-
a blessing until there is no more need, he would
-
open the windows of heaven and bore out all his
-
blessing until sabrang about. I'm gonna be animal. God is
-
testing our hearts with just the ten percent, just the
-
ten percent. Chinky Randall, Jason Low and the pastors always
-
teaches this way. Test is a ten percent how how
-
how how he taught me before when now I was
-
starting ten percent ts in offering, ten percent, ten ten
-
percent tights, ten percent offering, ten percent savings, seventy percent.
-
Sometimes cause even focus lang thirty percent, seventy percent. Actually,
-
if you are really mad, leg he didn't just give
-
you seventy percent. He gave you one hundred percent. As
-
the Book of Genesis said, he gave you one hundred percent.
-
And he's just asking rightfully, what is for him? Always
-
go back to self satisfaction. Does this satisfying satisfy me?
-
And it would talk about your contentment when you talk
-
about your contentment now but pass entitlement? Lord entitled, entitled,
-
So don't you value what is the value of our hearts?
-
This cuts across employee employee employee employee te pup as well, though,
-
And that was gonna be all across. Remember, he's not
-
after the mounts, after our hearts. So what value are
-
you bringing out? The value of titing is not in
-
the amount, but in the obedient heart. It's about obedience
-
of our heart. Do you you want to willingly obey?
-
Or every time it's begrudging when you give? Are you
-
a cheerful giver? Not only that is that are you
-
satisfied with what you have? Are we content with what
-
we have? Or we're always looking for what we don't have?
-
And Lord and etonicy change and no, doesn't change, we change.
-
Verse eleven said, I will rebuke the devour for you
-
so that it will not destroy the fruits of your soil.
-
And you're vine in the field shall not fail to bear,
-
says the Lord of Hosts. He's not only he's not
-
only after. He's not only looking and trying to protect
-
and concerned about our tithing and our offering. He's even
-
concerned with the ninety percent. As I said, he being
-
part of his kingdom, he would protect us and he
-
would preserve us. That means lahatina blessing. Then asatin ladam blessing, libghet,
-
I know wisdom, how to make it grow, How how
-
not to succumb the temptation, how how how not to
-
be overly self centered in how we do it? He
-
would preserve us. And preservation that's the hope, that's the joy.
-
That's the joy that he wants to give us complete joy,
-
joy in him. Because God does not change, we can
-
rejoice in him. Everybody, say, rejoice, rejoice. In Verse twelve said,
-
then all nations will call you blessed, for you will
-
be a land of the light, says the Lord of Hosts.
-
Blessed nations. We know bless because he needs. That's why
-
he's being blessed. Blessed because Christian and it's good to
-
hear those. But being blessed means that you have you
-
know your rightful stepping with God, you know where you are,
-
you know how you stand. Generous people, yes, are blessed
-
people with God's favor, in his favor in David wrote
-
this in some thirty seven version. I have been young
-
and now old, yet I have not seen righteousness forsaken
-
or his children begging for bread. This is this is
-
my this is my season right now as a parent,
-
that that I'm saving up. What I'm doing, Uh, I'm
-
investing in everything, not just materially, but even investing in
-
the lives of people. Why it's for my next generation.
-
It's for the generation in the generations that were coming
-
up from from from from our family. But there's a
-
promise that if we are righteous, if we give, if
-
we are obedient, not about the amount, but we obey
-
him in everything, he will give us those blessings. What
-
are what do you want? What do we want? How
-
many parents here? Raise your hands? How many parents here?
-
How many? I know all of us? We want to
-
leave a legacy for our children more than the money.
-
My prayer is that you're actually building his character or
-
her character to be christ like. This is this is
-
this is part of the legacy wall. And uh, those
-
are my children right there in the bottom, jell Amonti
-
and Lara Uui. We weren't gonna put our names already
-
in the wall because we are humble and their ananymous
-
anonymous giver in every anonymous, humble, anonymous. But then somebody
-
approached us and told us, why why don't you put
-
it under your kid's name? And I was wondering why
-
for them to know, for them to understand that they
-
can actually go back to this wall, go back to
-
this building, go back to this church, and they would
-
know that this is their roots, Like oh wow, but
-
you know that's the legacy we ought to build, not
-
the legacy of This is the kingdom of Jason Chua.
-
This is the the kingdom of Adrian mcnoian. This is
-
the kingdom of of of Rapha mcdoto some some minecraft kingdom.
-
Now what we should be building even in our legacy,
-
It is God's Kingdom. Are we building on that? We're
-
building on that? Maybe in your that situation, right now
-
that you're you're actually you're still struggling, and you're you're
-
you're still looking for for for for justice every time
-
and year in, year out, promises and promises, it's all
-
about justice. And then and maybe some of you that
-
the Lord Nasa, But in love, it's not about our situation.
-
It's not. It's not. You know, justice and love actually
-
met on the cross and what happened. It's mercy. It's mercy.
-
If he is changing, if he is, if you want
-
Jesus a God to just be just, we won't be
-
here today. You won't if we through love, love love
-
love love, love will happen with that detail he gave
-
us mercy. Mercy means what is ours right now is
-
not ours for the taking. We're not right. No, we're
-
even unworthy of those blessings that he has for us.
-
That's why it's free. It's free, but it's costly. Sometimes
-
we neglect it. Why because it doesn't cost that anything,
-
but it costs God everything. Aust God, his son, cost
-
Jesus his life. So please do remember this that God
-
does not change, He doesn't change. If can we do this,
-
if we know that God is the giver of life,
-
He's the giver of life. If we know God, God
-
gives us hope, if God gives us peace, right, and
-
if God gives us love. The question is now, why
-
don't we respond? Why can't we respond? Maybe there's a
-
sin issue in your life. I don't know, maybe in
-
just neglect. Maybe it's because you don't have time alone
-
with him. Different in every case. But my question is
-
you know this, this this book of Malachi. When when
-
the prophet Malachi kept on asking us to remember this,
-
you would see that it talks about a relationship. Because
-
if you know you have a relationship with God, you're
-
reminded of this. Now there's a response. What is the
-
response for us to recommit our lives to God? If
-
we know that he's unchanging, are we willing to recommit
-
our lives to him? That's a question I post with
-
you today and I want to end with these stories versus.
-
This is the ultrasound ultrasound of ethel Pades. She works
-
for every nation and nine years they've been praying for
-
for a kid. Nine years. That's long. She could actually say,
-
you know, but the labor is a church gets nine years.
-
Now I'm as I'm if if your a situation right
-
now is like that because you have a servant slave mentality.
-
They kept on believing. Yesterday all of us were crazily
-
shouting bade. It's because they knew that God pulled through
-
again nine years. Look at this beautiful in an apple
-
of mine. This is daughter of our former staff Chaid
-
fifteen years she waited, she did everything young end up
-
saving alum Lord in as Moran relationship, I mean alum
-
Lords his son alam Lord. Thank you as a strengthened
-
young faith. Now we don't know what God is doing,
-
but know this, his promises doesn't change. He might actually
-
be waiting for us to change for the good, for
-
his good, perfect will. This is Pastor a yell. This
-
is kind of different. Pastor a yell eight years ago
-
lost his and before Beya and Jerome. It was the
-
time that I was entering the ministry where he lost
-
his son. That was crushing all of us. He's my
-
first pastor ever, and it crushed us. When all of us,
-
me and my wife, we're very young in the faith.
-
We were asking, packet you Lord, Amania, well Damania back
-
the pastoriano seven thousand church member back at the noon.
-
He he he, we have put us aside, and you say,
-
you know, Larry, we don't know. I have bitterness inside
-
that have me and me and Shirley. We have questions,
-
But then how can you question God? He gave us Jerome.
-
Those eight years are good years. So when he rightfully Jerome,
-
it's okay. There's he has a plan. The two little
-
girls beside, there is his plan. Now they have three children.
-
I'm not saying go through that suffering now. Up until
-
now when whenever it's Jerome's birthday or death anniversary, we
-
would still talk and the heart will still be there.
-
But do not let it linger. You understand, you have
-
to rise up. Why you haven't any changing God? You
-
know the endgame. Lakers might not win the championship next
-
year or next year or next year, but Jesus has
-
won the victory for you and I. We are more
-
than conquerors. The victory is already in us. He doesn't change.
-
This is my last story, Jason. I didn't know you're
-
gonna be here. This is Jason's brother there on your right.
-
That's victory. Tian A victors. His company became Dea in
-
debt as in Young Human zero, Young Digits and calculator,
-
so digits. He he almost lost his life because he
-
was contemplating on ending his life. He lost his business.
-
He he thought he would lose his mind. There were
-
times that when when when I got to meet him,
-
he it's as if he's losing his mind already. But
-
praise be to God that he didn't lose his family.
-
That his family God said, got to know Jesus Christ,
-
and now they're serving the church. Yes they are still
-
in debt, but they know that that debt that has
-
to be paid has already been paid by Jesus Christ.
-
Praise God and ask everybody to stand up. I don't
-
know your situation right now, but you have to remember
-
that victory is ours because of who God is inviautable.
-
He has chosen us, he has loved us. He's our king.
-
We're under his lordship, and he does not change. Maybe
-
you are in that lemma right now. You're asking Lord,
-
where are you do you change? Why have you changed?
-
The Lord's saying I have not changed. I am constant,
-
I am the Alpha and the Omega. I'm true the
-
same yesterday, today and tomorrow, and I am the author
-
and perfector of your faith. So Lord Father, I pray
-
right now, each one of us, we would know this,
-
we should take this too hard. Lord, even pray, Lord God, Lord,
-
that you would shine your face upon us, knowing, Lord God,
-
that our faith is in you and in you alone.
-
Maybe there are some of you in this room right
-
now that you're feeling aggrieve. You're feeling like like the Israelite,
-
that there are pestilence everywhere, that everything you touch is
-
trending to nod. The Lord's saying, I'm to you, my
-
sons and my daughters. I am the way, I am
-
the truth. I am your life, and I do not change. Father.
-
I pray Lord that you would speak to us Lord,
-
that we will deepen, Lord God, not not the sacrifices,
-
not the not the Lord, not in our own way,
-
but Lord, deepen our relationship with you, and no, Father,
-
I pray right now for your perfect will, perfect purposes,
-
Lord God, will be revealed in us. Lord, that the
-
waiting game is joyful. Lord, that the waiting game, in
-
this waiting game, we will be full of delight and
-
we will bank on the one through God. Thank you, Lord.
