-
any good shame and now here's your message.
-
Thank you so much to our worship team.
-
Really appreciate even with all this online setup that's happening.
-
I thank you and appreciate.
-
All of our volunteers, even our worship director team Marami
-
Salamat for what you're doing.
-
And today, as you all know, is our Mother's Day,
-
and it's it's really.
-
Very special special and we're now spending time with our moms,
-
whether Bahi pusilla or maybe through a zoom or through
-
a call or maybe even a visit to our moms
-
at this time. And I just wanted to take this
-
time also to appreciate all the mothers in our commune
-
unity at Talagan, to have so many mothers in our
-
house in Victory Green Hills.
-
And today we have our new series.
-
And this is a series for moms and we call
-
it Beauty in Strength. And I just want to take
-
this time to introduce you to my mom. My mom
-
passed away two years ago more than two years ago.
-
But if there's somebody who could epitomize beauty in strength,
-
it's my mom. My mom was a fighter. My mom
-
was a cancer survivor for more than four years.
-
But then she had to sud.
-
She succumbed to that sickness after four years of fighting
-
with it. But we've seen her how she used a
-
sickness or a pain like that to bring glory and
-
honor to God's name. And I'm really just amazed in
-
the life of my mom, how she has shaped us,
-
how she has in many ways, and that becomes similarities
-
and an econo and uh for better and for my
-
say reilarity.
-
Spokes and aniko.
-
But I just want to honor her for raising me
-
up to be this kind of a man, whether you
-
like it or not, not that my mom raised me
-
up that way. I also like to take this time
-
to honor my mother in law. If there is somebody
-
that I really really appreciate at the time when I
-
actually lost my mom was my mother in law and
-
mother in law, her mere presence, her love, language of gifts,
-
and just being here with us, supporting us since day
-
one when I got married. They're one of the most
-
supportive in laws that I've that you'll ever see an
-
experience now, So I'm blessed I have a mother in
-
law like you. So, Mama, I love you so much,
-
and I just want to honor you for being such
-
a great mom.
-
And of course I also want to honor my.
-
Wife, Tammy. You have been such an amazing woman, an
-
amazing mother to our kids, and I just the sacrifice
-
that you've made through the years, the no complaining whatsoever
-
of the duty that you have as a mother, and
-
now that we're in a lockdown and in guarantine.
-
So I would just like to appreciate you, Sami, and
-
I really love you. I love you so much.
-
All right, Today I want to go to two verses
-
in the New Testament and the Old Testament. In Ephesian six,
-
verse one to three says their children, obey your parents
-
in the Lord, for this is right.
-
Honor your father and mother.
-
This is the first commandment, with the promise that it
-
may go well with you and that you may live
-
long in the land. The Bible talks about honoring your
-
father and your mother.
-
Now, when we.
-
Say honor, that means it's to assign value as reflecting
-
personal esteem.
-
In a value.
-
Hon is a t and I know in our culture
-
today one of the curse words that's currently used is
-
to dishonor the moms, right, and you hear that in
-
the street to you hear it globally there's a cursing
-
and they use moms as a cursed word.
-
But the Bible tells us that we have.
-
To honor her, to assign value to her, that she
-
is valuable, and that it would reflect personal respect and esteem.
-
Honor your father and your mother. We need to honor
-
our mothers. And later we'll see how we're going to
-
do that.
-
I'll give you some practical steps as we end our
-
message later, But first, let me talk about Kingdom moms.
-
Right. I've been talking about the Kingdom of God. I've
-
been preaching about the Kingdom of.
-
God, and one of the things that we want to
-
see in our church is that we will have kingdom
-
mothers or Kingdom moms.
-
What do I mean by that? By looking at the
-
life of the Mom.
-
Of Moses, which is Joe Schabed, we would see what
-
the kingdom mom is, right, an example for the Kingdom
-
mom and how she thinks and how she acts and
-
Exodus chapter two, verse one to verse ten.
-
We'll look at it.
-
It says they're a man of the family of Levi
-
married a Levite woman.
-
The woman became pregnant and had a son.
-
She saw there was something special about him and hid him.
-
She hid him for three months. So this Levi married
-
the Levite woman. Kessy Moses, my Levi jeans no. So
-
the mom saw something special in in Moses, and it's
-
having a talagan growing up.
-
Now here's a picture of two babies and she said,
-
this baby. You look at them and you might say, well,
-
there's nothing special about them. They just look like any
-
other baby pictures that we have.
-
But two women saw these babies and said there's something
-
special about them.
-
And they sacrifice and.
-
They turned their schedules around to be able to raise
-
these two kids. And the two baby pictures that you
-
see here are now kingdom men, world changers. Their Pastor
-
Larry and Pastor Dave Right, and that's the mom of
-
Pastor Dave Right. They saw this baby and said, I
-
will do everything and I will sacrifice so that I
-
could raise godly men who would make an impact in
-
our nation today.
-
This is what kingdom mothers are.
-
Kingdom moms have a way of seeing the beauty and
-
the potential of their child and kingdom.
-
Potential when others don't see.
-
A kingdom mom sees it, and the kingdom mom would
-
pray for the destiny and the purposes of God for
-
their kids. Dammy would pray for our kids all the time.
-
She would speak their destiny.
-
She would declare a prophetically the future of our kids.
-
And that's how a kingdom mom acts. That's how a
-
kingdom mom thinks. When she prays. She sees the potential.
-
She sees how God is going to use their kids mightily. Now,
-
when she couldn't hide him any longer, she got a
-
little basket boat made of paper us, waterproof it with
-
tar and pitch, and placed the child in it.
-
Then she set it afloat in the reeds at the
-
edge of the nile.
-
Right the baby's older sister found herself a vantage point
-
a little way off and watched to see what would
-
happen to him.
-
Now, Pharaoh's daughter came down to the nant or to bathe.
-
Her maiden strolled on the back.
-
She saw the basket boat floating in the reeds and
-
set her maid to get it.
-
She opened it and saw a child, a baby crying.
-
Her heart went out to him. She said, this must
-
be one of our Hebrew babies. Now, as you can
-
see here, the mom though the baby was crying, she
-
hid him for three months. Now, that would take a lot.
-
Of effort for the mother, but for the mom of Moses,
-
she risked by faith raising up this child because she
-
knew there was something special about this child.
-
And when she knew there was something special.
-
About this child, she did whatever it takes for Moses
-
to survive that crisis. Hiding a baby for three months
-
with your neighbors who can be saying, oh there's a
-
baby there, please report it and they'll get some cash
-
or get some reward from the government. You know, it
-
was so hard those three months of the mom sacrificing
-
her time, sacrificing her daily routine to look at the child,
-
so that when the child is crying, she would make
-
her say why, you know, And she hid them for
-
three months until she could no longer hit her. And
-
so she made a plan. She devised a plan for
-
this baby to survive because she knew this baby had
-
a destiny. Josephed had a plan for Moses to survive
-
the crisis. We are in a crisis today, and I
-
pray as parents, as Kingdom moms and even Kingdom.
-
Dads, we would have a plan for our.
-
Kids not only to survive the crisis, but to thrive
-
in the midst of crisis.
-
I've been saying this Rereadings page twenty twenty. Is a
-
year of.
-
Training, a year to train up a child in the
-
way they should go so that when they grow old,
-
they will not depart from it.
-
Kingdom parents, it's time.
-
We train our kids not only to survive the crisis,
-
but to thrive in the crisis. Now, wonder we are
-
with our kids more than eight hours, twelve hours, sixteen
-
hours a day.
-
Together so that we can impart to them the.
-
Things that we have learned in the past, our experiences,
-
our success our failures. Now is the best time we
-
are forced to. We are now together in our homes
-
so that we can build.
-
And impart to our kids.
-
I've been watching The Last Dance every Monday, and in
-
episode five it featured.
-
The mom of Michael Jordan. The mom of Michael Jordan.
-
Made a very big difference in the lives not only Jordan,
-
but also of a lot of you who are wearing
-
Nikes shoes, those of you collecting Jordan's shoes. Jordan was
-
so keen on getting the Adidas deal. But the mom
-
says to Jordan, you're going to go to Nike. You're
-
going to listen. You may not like it, but you're
-
going to go and listen. She made me, Michael Jordan said,
-
she made me go on that plane and go listen.
-
And when Nike offered such a big deal, the rest
-
was history.
-
All right. The mom says, it would be crazy for
-
you not to take this deal, and the rest is history.
-
Imagine if Jordan did not listen to the mom, most
-
there will be no Nike today. It is because of
-
the plan of the mother instilling in Michael Jordan that
-
you've got to learn how to listen to a pinch
-
see all options learn in life. Madam Haba Walapatai experience
-
feeling a tayo no but maamat Madam Mato.
-
Di Jordas and anemia.
-
Kingdom monks would do whatever it takes to raise Kingdom kids. Ah.
-
They would sacrifice career, they would sacrifice time, they would sacrifice.
-
Effort so that they could raise Kingdom kids.
-
Our goal as parents is not only to raise good kids,
-
but kingdom kids, kids who would embrace the cause of
-
the Kingdom of God and kingdom moms knows this not
-
so see Joseph Moses special to Malamam putishamaking prince of Egypt.
-
Right, and this is what really happened to Moses.
-
The mom raised up Moses and did whatever it takes,
-
risk her life, risk the family's life. Why to make
-
sure that Moses would have the kind of life that
-
God wants him to have.
-
In fact, the sister was so involved that the partition
-
of the mom. The sister was so involved in the process.
-
Why because for them it's a family thing and we've
-
got to make sure our little baby survived this crisis.
-
Look at verse in the next nine verse Eve and
-
then his sister was before her right, and the sister went.
-
To the pharous daughter.
-
They wanted to go and get a nursing mother from
-
the Hebrews so she can nurse the baby for you.
-
You see the plant they all planted out Bana.
-
They made planet tle Waterproofmosis Illigo Phedo's daughter.
-
Bring them there be there at advantage point. Look at it.
-
And when she comes out, you know, offer me to
-
be the to be the caretaker, to be the uh,
-
the one who will nurse the baby.
-
And farus daughter said yes, go.
-
The girl went and called the child's mother imagine this,
-
and Faru's daughter told her, take this baby and nurse
-
him for me. I'll pay what I'll pay you. Grab
-
it bin paramagna. N the woman told the child and
-
nurse him a lot of mom.
-
This is their verse okay for being a mother. Sorry
-
Timmy pero, next time, all kay, take this baby and
-
nurse him for me. I'll pay you Now. I might
-
not be able to pay my wife, but remember this.
-
All the moms out here, I want you to listen
-
to this.
-
Right even though you feel like, oh, I have sacrificed
-
so much, remember this kingdom, moms, there is a return.
-
There's a great return for all the sacrifice you have made.
-
Kingdom moms, La sacribe latina.
-
There's a great return for the sacrifice you have made.
-
And the return are your kingdom kids who would change
-
and touch so many lives.
-
I'm not sure if my mom.
-
Would know or my mom knew at the time when
-
she would go to the visoria every day and work
-
so hard for us so that we can go to
-
a Christian school and go to one of the best
-
universities right and to impart to us and teach us
-
the ways of life.
-
I don't know if she knew that this was going
-
to be my colleague, that I will be a pastor.
-
I don't know about you, your mom today, and you
-
say I've made so much a sacrifice, and you say,
-
marm bam.
-
Do do la doo. I'm telling you don't give up.
-
You are a Kingdom mom and the sacrifices you made
-
will have a great return, might not be financially, but
-
something that would impact.
-
The world because you've raised Kingdom kids. So I want
-
to end with these very practical tips. How do we
-
honor our moms? To all the moms are here today,
-
How can we honor our moms Sam, whether Matandana, Mami
-
moo or Batatammi mo? How do you honor your mom?
-
Number one? Right? You have to love her unconditionally.
-
You know.
-
I look, I made a YouTube video of a letter
-
to my daughters. You can go look at that video
-
and YouTube right.
-
Where I told them you have to learn how to
-
appreciate your mom. And I told them the story of
-
how Tamii sacrifice all throughout.
-
Her life, her schedule, her time was for the kids. Now,
-
it's so easy to.
-
Love somebody conditionally because you've seen the sacrifice.
-
But what if your mom is now old and she
-
can no longer give what she has given to you before.
-
Instead, now she is asking for unconditional love back. Honoring
-
your mom is not only during times when she can
-
give back to you. Honoring your mom is also giving
-
back and loving her when she could.
-
Not give anything to you anymore, especially now that when
-
she's old. In the movie entitled be Grateful and be
-
Thankful for your mom, honor her and love her unconditionally.
-
Imagine Moses the mom of Moses for three months, always watching, protecting,
-
finding ways to raise her in the most unconventional way.
-
Now that she's old and she can't do anything. How
-
about you, how do you treat your mom? Do you
-
love her and honor her unconditionally? Mcmahal than mcmahalpu t
-
you unconditionally.
-
Love her unconditionally. Number two is to understand her, sympathetically
-
understand her. And this is what I wrote in my notes.
-
Understand her. Even if you can't understand, I'll be very honest,
-
Madamian bessis here, ladon Magarna and menopausal stage come back
-
and Galt. There are many times I cannot understand my mom,
-
but I have to love her and honor her, even.
-
If I can understand her mood swings, even if I
-
can understand her logic, even if we don't see eye
-
to eye.
-
And most likely you would have the same belt.
-
With your mom, but you have to understand her sympathetically
-
put yourself in her shoe.
-
I remember there was a time when I was listening
-
to Ravi Zakaraitis.
-
He went here and there was something he said apologetics theology,
-
but there was something he said that touched me more
-
than all the apologetics, and it was just an introduction
-
to his message.
-
He said, in our culture.
-
Whether or not my dad or my mom right says
-
something to me that might be harsh or that might
-
have hurt me, I will not answer back. I will
-
respect them and love them because that's the way it is.
-
I was so touched by it because I remember there
-
was one time in my life, and I'm being very
-
honest to you, man.
-
One time, Hindi Kopuma take to about something I no
-
need to mention what But when I hung up, Man,
-
the feeling was so.
-
Did not feeling. At that time, when my emotion was rising,
-
I felt like I have dishonored my mom. I could
-
not take it. You know, now I see a lot
-
of young kids, a lot of teenagers shouting at their mom,
-
disrespecting their mom.
-
Nikoma Taic, it must not be abbout honor your father
-
and mother, that it may go well with you, that
-
you may live long in the land.
-
Many have disrespected their mom. And maybe that's why we
-
see our culture today, and Damie, maybe because we've forgotten.
-
When you don't know how to appreciate the past.
-
Of the sacrifices, of the love, of everything your parents
-
did to you, it's so hard for you to move forward.
-
There's no blessing there. You have to honor, honor your
-
mom unconditioned, understand her sympathetically, even if you don't understand
-
me thirty is to appreciate her consistently. Remember Moses won't
-
be here without her mother's faith, prayer, and dedication. We
-
need our mother's church. I've lost mine, I've lost my mom,
-
and it hurts when a mom comes to me and
-
would say, you know.
-
Primpes they don't need me anymore.
-
Let me tell you, mothers, Kingdom moms, mothers, you are
-
needed constantly.
-
Don't believe the lie of the enemy that you are
-
no longer needed. And one of the things, and I
-
say this with full conviction, one of the things.
-
I mean, Kayo, is because moms are the best prayer warriors.
-
Trabb prayma no manana and pe prey for me is
-
a church partner.
-
The Lord appreciate her consistently, make her feel that she's
-
needed and she's not just a naho and Jenemanzimami appreciate
-
her consistently.
-
We need our moms.
-
The world needs Kingdom moms, Kingdom mothers. I want to
-
honor the mothers in our community.
-
That's when I said, I've lost my mom, but it
-
has been replaced by many moms. I'm thankful for mothers.
-
When my mom actually died on her second death anniversary,
-
Nita Stella like Padel and video Stella on that day
-
where we're celebrating the second year of my mom's death.
-
And in that video, she was whispering her Bible study
-
because Bonnie was still steep, and she would say, here's
-
what I believe the Lord is trying to say to me,
-
what do you think of it? And as she was
-
and as she sent me that video, I was crying
-
Nan Bible, oh Basay motto and she would shed it
-
like how Tita Stella did it in her video.
-
And I was crying because I knew the world needs mothers.
-
I need a mom. I'm forty years old, but i
-
need a mom and I'm thankful that it's been replaced
-
by many months in our community. Moms are the best
-
prayer warriors.
-
I want to end with his story, true story that
-
happened in eighteen twenty. This is a documented story and
-
I know you won't believe me, but you can google
-
it after. This is the story of Peter Richly who was.
-
On his way to Australia.
-
And he was writing a boat. And in this boat,
-
as he was writing, a storm came and the boat
-
started the ship started sinking. Everybody in that boat died
-
except for Peter Richly. A second boat came and rescued him.
-
Good thing.
-
But then because of the storm, the second boat also
-
started to sink, and when it started to sing, everybody
-
jumped off board. And then there was this third boat
-
that rescued Peter Richly while he was on the third boat.
-
Again the same faith happened. This third boat started sinking.
-
And when this third boat started sinking, a fourth boat
-
ship came and to.
-
Peter Richly out of the water, just like Moses being
-
taken out of the water.
-
And being rescued. While he was on that fourth boat.
-
On the fourth boat, the boat started to sink and
-
Peter Richly jumped again on the scene. And then what happened,
-
a fifth boat ship came. It was the city of Leeds.
-
When the doctor checked up on Peter Richly and they
-
were about to dock.
-
The doctor said, I have a favor. He says, you know,
-
there's a lady on board who booke passage to Australia.
-
Now all of us love this lady. She knows all
-
of us.
-
She's looking for her son, who disappeared years ago, and
-
she's dying now and she's asking to see her son.
-
Every time we would go, every time I would go
-
to the cabin, I would hear her cry out to
-
the Lord and pray, Lord, before I die, I want
-
to see my son. Now I need a favor from you,
-
since you're the only person she doesn't know. Can you
-
pretend to be the son? Of course, Peter agreed this
-
was his fifth life. He followed the doctor below deck
-
and entered into the cabin.
-
There was the small bed with a frail woman with
-
a silver hair. She was obviously suffering from a high fever. Delirious.
-
She was crying out, Please, God, let me see my
-
son before I die. I must see my son.
-
When Peter.
-
Saw the woman, Peter broke out in tears and started crying.
-
Peter saw the woman. Her name was Sarah Richly. It
-
was Peter's mom.
-
We don't know this miracle of Peter.
-
Who was rescued by four books, rescued and given his
-
fifth chance of life because of the power of a
-
praying mom. The mom actually recovered that she got to
-
spend time with her son.
-
Moms, Kingdom moms.
-
Never underestimate the power that you have the power of prayer.
-
The world needs Kingdom mothers. Our community, our city needs
-
Kingdom mothers.
-
Families today need Kingdom moms who is the Kingdom of
-
God in their minds and in their hearts, raising up
-
Kingdom communities, nurturing many men and women.
-
The world needs you. Never believe the lie that you
-
have no more purpose in life. Beauty and strength. This
-
is the perfect picture of what it means to be Kingdom. Moms.
-
This beauty and there's strength that only moms could give.
-
And so I want to pray for all the moms today.
-
Lord Jesus, we thank you for this time. Lord, we
-
thank you for all the moms who are here watching today.
-
I speak your blessing, I speak your peace, I speak
-
your life.
-
I speak your very purpose in their lives. I pray
-
Lord hilitia purposes. Lord.
-
Lord, we honor our moms. Lord, we thank you for them.
-
Nor we thank you Lord for giving us moms. Lord,
-
may we learn how to appreciate them. May we see, Lord,
-
the same way Moses moms saw the beauty in Moses.
-
May us, the Moseses of this world, see the beauty
-
in our moms. May we see how precious they are.
-
That we all won't be here without our moms, we
-
won't be who we are. And Lord, we know we
-
don't have perfect moms, But Lord and Papa Lord Lord,
-
a mom who loved us. Lord, a mom Lord at
-
times we might not understand, but a mom who's been
-
there for us. And so Lord, I pray Lord that
-
even in our midsion, in our community, we would be
-
able Lord to see king them.
-
Mothers raise up kingdom moms who.
-
Would raise up kingdom kids who would Lord raise up
-
and build kingdom.
