-
People of God, it's time for us to listen to the word of God.
-
The world that changed, lives that bring transformation, that
-
is able to create things and make things anew.
-
We humbly want to invite to the podium our dear presided Ada,
-
Ada, Michael Bugri, Winnie to give us the word of God.
-
Let's ask out. I have Pentecost.
-
If you know how to sing it, open your mouth and sing with.
-
Me. Spirit.
-
The flame of glory the fire is. Burning the flame of glory in my
-
soul. Hallelujah, it's raining in my
-
soul. The fire is burning in my soul.
-
The fire is burning in my soul. Praise the Lord, I said.
-
Praise the Lord. Hallelujah, Amen.
-
We want to thank God for the gift of life.
-
We also want to thank our pastor for giving us the opportunity to
-
share the Word of God with you. Today is the last Sunday our
-
pastor will be spending in this district before his farewell
-
will take place and I was expecting that he would have
-
preached. Once someone is a minister of
-
God, they delivered the Word of God as I was expecting that
-
today be his last Sunday he will shoot his last message.
-
But I've come to realize that those of you who are expecting
-
him to shoot, he has finished his work, praise the Lord.
-
So one of the lesson we can learn is that you need to be
-
alert at every time. So those of you are not present
-
to listen to his last message. You have missed it.
-
What it also means is that your time is not ghost time.
-
Amen. Amen.
-
This morning we want to teach on the rules and conducts of the
-
Church of Pentecost, The rules and conducts of the Church of
-
Pentecost. When I started I was singing.
-
What song was I singing? I have Pentecost in my soul.
-
The Spirit has come. We need to understand that all
-
of us seated here, the Bible says we were one sinners through
-
the sacrifice of our Lord Jesus Christ.
-
He has purchased us with His blood.
-
He has purified us, He has sanctified us, He has given us
-
the Holy Spirit, and that is the reason why we have become
-
children and people of God, and that is the reason why you and I
-
have become the Church of God, praise the Lord.
-
So when we talk about the Church of God, we are not talking about
-
a mere institution, but we are talking about the people of God
-
who have been bought, who have been purchased, who have been
-
sanctified, who have been purified by the blood of Christ.
-
And so this morning as you are sit today and I am standing
-
here, I want to announce to you that you are not an ordinary
-
person. You are the Church of God.
-
I am the Church of God. Why?
-
Because we have been purchased by the precious blood of our
-
Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
-
Amen. When I say Amen and you don't
-
respond, now come there, because should we consider what God has
-
done for us for you to say Amen or praise the Lord to the glory
-
of God? It shouldn't be difficult for
-
you. And it is one of the ways we
-
show our appreciation to God. Amen.
-
So as a church, I have already said that you are the Church of
-
God. I am the Church of God, we are
-
the Church of God, and by the grace of God, God has made it
-
possible for us to belong to the church as an organization, which
-
is the Church of Pentecost. As a church, we have rules and
-
conduct that governs us, that helps us to live a righteous
-
life. And this rules and conduct have
-
been derived from the Bible. So we can say that this rules
-
and conduct is the Word of God. Amen.
-
So as a church, it is expected that we will set aside a period
-
daily to pray for personal quiet time and meditation of the Word
-
of God. As a church, as a Christian, as
-
a member of the Church of Pentecost, it is expected, the
-
rule #1 it is expected that we will set aside a period daily
-
for a personal quiet time in prayer and meditation on the
-
Word of God. I mean, how many of you were
-
able to observe your quiet time this morning?
-
Let me see you by hand. How many of you were able to
-
read your Bible this morning? Let me see you by hand.
-
So what it means is that what we are saying is that what shows
-
that you are a true child of God, you are a true member of
-
the church, is that you should, and this should, this is there
-
to help us. You should make it a rule that
-
every day you read your Bible, you pray in the morning, you
-
have your quiet time, Amen. So maybe if you have forgotten,
-
we are reminding you. Maybe if you don't know, we are
-
telling you, Amen. Shall we read from Matthew
-
chapter 6, verse 6, Matthew chapter 6, The media team,
Matthew 6 chapter mention
-
please be alert. So that will go fast.
-
But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to
-
your Father who is on the same. Then your father who sees what
-
is done in secret will reward you.
-
But when you pray, please go back.
-
But when you pray, go into your room.
-
So the emphasis here is you as a child of God being able to pray
-
in your closet. There are some of us.
-
Until we come to church, we don't pray.
-
When you are like that, you are not a good member of the church.
-
When you are like that, you are not a good Christian.
-
It is expected that as a good Christian you will be able to
-
pray every day in your closets and read your Bible before you
-
come out. Amen #2 Always endeavor to
-
adequately prepare yourself through prayer and meditation
-
before coming to the House of God.
-
So the difference between this, the first one that you read is
-
that that one is on daily basis before you go to work.
-
Every day when you wake up from your bed, you need to observe
-
your quiet time. You read and you pray.
-
But the second one is saying that always endeavor to
-
adequately prepare yourself through prayer and meditation
-
before coming to the House of God.
-
Why must you prepare yourself through prayer and meditation
-
before coming to the House of God?
-
Who can tell me? Yes, oh, are you here?
-
Yes, I know me so that the Holy Spirit would direct your steps.
-
Yes, another person. Amen.
-
Amen. Let's read from Hebrews chapter
-
4, verse 15 to 16. Hebrews chapter 4, verse 15 to
-
16. For we do not have a high Priest
-
who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one
-
who has been tempted in every way, just as we are, yet did,
-
yet he did not sin. Let us then approach God's,
-
God's throne of grace with confidence so that we may
-
receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
-
Amen. So the one of the reasons why it
-
is very important to pray adequately and prepare yourself
-
before you come to the House of God.
-
You see, when we talk about the House of God, it is the building
-
in which we have met. But when we talk about the
-
temple of God, the Bible says that we are the temple of God.
-
So your body is the temple of God.
-
My body is the temple of God. And this is our meeting place.
-
And we expected that when we come to our meeting place to
-
have an encounter with our God. If I am able to prepare
-
adequately through prayer and the meditation of the Word of
-
God, I will be in right tune with God.
-
I'll be on fire for God. If you also prepare through
-
prayer and reading of the Word of God, you'll be in tune with
-
God. You'll be, in fact in fire or on
-
fire as you want to put it for God.
-
And then why? We all come and meet and we
-
pray. It will be fireworks, praise the
-
Lord. The reason why we will come and
-
meet and we will not see anything is because at times you
-
don't prepare and I don't prepare.
-
But if you prepare yourself through the meditation of the
-
Word of God, through prayer, and I also prepare, I want to assure
-
you that we shall see, we shall experience the presence of God.
-
Amen. Three.
-
Be in your seat in good time before the commencement of the
-
service and participate fully in every aspect of the service.
-
Be in your seat in good time before the commencement of
-
service and participate fully in every aspect of the service.
-
Be in your seat in good time. Why we say be in your seat in
-
good time before the commencement of the service?
-
What does it mean? I don't understand that English.
-
Someone should help me. Oh no, I want.
-
I want someone to say that. Are you here?
-
I hope you understand English. Someone should help me.
-
Oh, work aside of that every praise the Lord.
-
I hope you all understand. So what it means is that we are
-
all being encouraged. We are being taught, we are
-
being admonished. As a child of God, as a member
-
of the Church, you have to ensure that any time you are
-
coming to the House of the Lord, you will come before the
-
commencement of the service and also participate in every aspect
-
of the service. I mean, how many of us were able
-
to come before the commencement of the service?
-
Don't raise your hand, but you know yourself.
-
So what it means is that when you come late, you have missed
-
an aspect of the service. Probably you miss the opening
-
prayer. Probably you miss the worship.
-
And you see, when it comes to the service, God can minister to
-
you. God can meet you at every point
-
of the service. Someone can even receive his
-
healing through the opening prayer.
-
So if God has purposed to have an encounter with you during the
-
opening prayer and you miss it, what it means is that you miss
-
your blessing. Amen.
-
In fact, tell the person sitting beside you as a correct member
-
of the church, come to church on time.
-
Amen. For endeavor by word and deed,
-
to bring your children in the fear of the Lord and the tray.
-
Let me say this, be in your seat in good time.
-
I have also realized that there are some people when they are
-
coming to church, they are selective about it.
-
The reason is that Bible studies Germany in general.
-
So let me get to church after Bible studies obese Also why you
-
late? You are very late.
-
Oshia quesia obejina ho and rabbasa abbasa much in OSHA
-
obeying common. Oh yeah, forgetting that.
-
So please, you see, all these things are Ways and Means.
-
We show reverence to God. And you see, in this regard we
-
don't do well at all. Many of us, we always come to
-
church late, late, late, including even as some of the
-
leaders. I'm not talking to you, we are
-
talking to ourselves. Praise the Lord, praise the
-
Lord, please. I'm speaking the word of God.
-
So even if you squeeze your face, I'll say it.
-
So it's not squeezing your face. I will not make me say it.
-
Amen. Endeavor by #4 endeavor by word
-
and deed to bring up your children in the fear of the Lord
-
and bring them with you to the House of God.
-
Supervise and monitor the active participation of your children
-
in Sunday School and youth ministry as the case may be.
-
Do not neglect the spiritual well-being of the other
-
relatives and ourselves under your care.
-
They also need salvation. Amen.
-
Shall we read Genesis chapter 18 verse 19?
-
Genesis 1819? So what we are saying here is
-
that as people of God we must ensure that we bring or we raise
-
our children in the fear of the Lord.
-
For I have chosen him so that He would direct his children and
-
his household after him, to keep the way of the Lord by being
-
what is right and just, so that the Lord will bring about for
-
Abraham what He has promised our men.
-
And then maybe let's read Joshua 2415.
-
The rest you can note it down so that when you go home you read.
-
But what we are saying here is that as people of God, we must
-
intentionally raise our children in the fear of the Lord.
-
We should be interested in the spiritual life of our children.
-
So whenever we are going to church, we must go with our
-
children, praise the Lord. And if we have other relatives,
-
we have other people living with us in our house.
-
We are also encouraged, we are admonished to raise them in the
-
fear of the Lord. Joshua 2415.
-
But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose
-
for yourselves this day whom you will save, whether the gods of
-
your ancestors, whether the gods, your ancestors saved
-
beyond the efforts or the cause of the amorite in whose land you
-
are living. But As for me and my household,
-
we will save the Lord, praise the Lord.
-
So you and your household. Serving the Lord is a matter of
-
decision. As parents we have to decide.
-
And when we take the decision, any decision we take, it binds
-
the family members, that is our children.
-
So if as parents we have decided to serve the Lord, then it is
-
expected that we will train our children with the Word of God.
-
We will train our children in the fear of the Lord and
-
training them. One of the ways we train them is
-
that whenever we are going to the House of the Lord, we will
-
not leave them behind in our, in our in our, in our generation.
-
You could see that there are some parents when they are going
-
to church because they think when the children come to church
-
they will disturb them. They will prefer to leave them
-
in the house so that they watch all sorts of cartoons, so that
-
they watch all sorts of TV programs.
-
Praise the Lord, it's better to bring your child with you in the
-
House of the Lord, for him to come and disturb you than to
-
leave him in the house. Because if you fail to bring
-
them, even by bringing them going up, down, up, down, it's a
-
way of teaching them. But whenever we fail to do that,
-
the television is, the cartoons will teach them.
-
It will train them for us. And if you should listen to the
-
story of some people, they end up practicing gayism and other
-
bad things, smoking and other things through television as
-
they watch the practice. So this morning we are being
-
admonished, we are being encouraged that we should raise
-
our children intentionally in the fear of the Lord.
-
Amen #5 Take the pasta as your own friend.
-
He needs your compassion, help and advice as you also need His.
-
Pray for him always. Amen, I said Amen.
-
And then tell the person sitting beside you, take your pasta as
-
your own friend. Now, let me ask this question.
-
Since our pastor came, how many of us have been able to visit
-
him in his house? In his house?
-
Just raise your hand and let me see you.
-
Please. Are you here?
-
I want to see the hands. In fact, be be outstanding.
-
Stand up. If you have visited him before,
-
Barbara, have you visited before?
-
Personally, I'm talking our personal visitation.
-
So wow, what course software name is Basrao?
-
Shall we resume our seat? God bless you.
-
He needs your compassion, help and advice as you also need his.
-
Pray for him always. We want to read Hebrews chapter
-
13, verse 17. Hebrews, chapter 13, verse 17.
-
Have confidence in your leaders and submit to their authority
-
because they keep watch over you as those who must give an
-
account. Do this so that their work will
-
be a joy. Not abetting, for that would be
-
of no benefit to you. Amen.
-
It's OK. Amen.
-
One thing we need to understand is that when we talk about the
-
pasta, the pasta is a human being like you in a Church of
-
Pentecost. Pastors are chosen from among
-
the members and then when they are prayed for, they are
-
sanctified. They are set apart to do the
-
ministerial work. So what one becomes a pastor,
-
what it means is that whatever profession you have, you must
-
put it aside and practice the full time ministry.
-
The work of the pastor is to pray for his members, teach his
-
members the word of God. Do not forget that the pastor is
-
not doing any other work apart from those things interceding
-
for the members. Amen.
-
So the pastor being a human being just like you, the pastor
-
also has needs and God has promised or even if you read
-
scriptures, one Jesus told his disciples to go and preach the
-
way he told them they shouldn't take anything that the people
-
will take care of them. So whenever a pastor is sent to
-
you, what it means is that it is expected that the members will
-
take care of him. So as the pastor is praying for
-
you and you are receiving promotion and you are receiving
-
double salary and you are enjoying it alone, you, your
-
wife and your children, and you don't even think about the man
-
of God, yet the man of God is praying for you.
-
What it means is that you, that person, praise the Lord, Amen.
-
Amen. So what we are saying is that
-
take the pasta as your personal friend.
-
Encourage him. He needs your compassion.
-
He needs your compassion. He needs your advice.
-
At time someone will say answer this pasta.
-
Oh yeah, the pasta is there for everyone.
-
So if you don't go closer to him, how will he know you?
-
So this morning I want to challenge each and everyone of
-
you, especially our members who have never visited him since he
-
came. He has only one week.
-
He has only one week, and I want to encourage you to visit him.
-
It is the Word of God. If you visit him, God will bless
-
you. And you see, there is a blessing
-
that is attached to supporting the people, the man of God, and
-
it is in the Scriptures. So what it means that God may be
-
blessing you all right, but there is a particular blessing
-
you are missing. I don't know why we are treating
-
this topic today, but maybe God wants someone to receive a
-
blessing before the pastor departs.
-
So I want to encourage you as a child of God, as a member of the
-
Church of Pentecost, it is expected that you will take care
-
of your pastor. And from the scripture we read,
-
the Bible says that because they keep watch over you, they keep
-
watch over you. Ask those who must give an
-
account so they will give account of each and every one of
-
us. That is the way God has assigned
-
him to do. It's just like a watchman who is
-
who has been recruited and he's not being paid.
-
Hello. Yeah, I'm sure I say may any war
-
software audio main Yeah machine now I should hear you catch it
-
only until when chain say I sure will suffer You see I will spend
-
a little time here that the sad aspect of the whole thing is
-
that the pastor will be fasting, praying for his members for
-
God's blesses. God will bless you some of the
-
members they will eat and be satisfied and then it will be
-
that the leftover Detroit in the boiler without thinking about
-
and you know what all these things while we stand before the
-
throne of God, we will answer. So if you are here and you are
-
the type who have never thought of the man of God or your
-
budgeter me you read any, maybe any, none is off with your own.
-
You are not a correct member. Praise the Lord.
-
A correct member is the one when he's eating, he asked himself,
-
how's my pastor eating? Amen.
-
I want to encourage you. I want to encourage you do well
-
to visit your pastor. And we are not talking about our
-
pastor who is here. Any pastor that you sit under
-
his ministry, our pastor will be going, another pastor will come,
-
You must do same. Amen. 6 Let me ask this
-
question. When the pastor is in need, when
-
the pastor is in need, when the pastor has a problem, when the
-
pastor has a challenge, who will he tell?
-
Hello, somebody should answer for me.
-
Maybe they have sucked the pasta, They have sucked their
-
children's school fees. He has no.
-
Maybe his money is not enough, or maybe he has no money.
-
At times. You go to the mission house,
-
there is no food at times. Pastor has family problem.
-
He needs money to resolve. There is no money.
-
What the pastor gets to this stage or this stage, who will he
-
talk to? Yes.
-
So think about it. But one thing I want you to
-
understand is that so long as the pastor is a human being, he
-
also has a needs. So all the needs of the pastor.
-
Hello all the needs of the pasta, God has given them to us
-
so that we give it to him. So whenever you fail to give,
-
God will ask you Amen. There are some people, the only
-
time they will go to the pasta is of a worry and our activity.
-
Apart from that, he will never. When you do that, you are not a
-
good member. 6 Make the church your spiritual home, Love the
-
brethren with brotherly affection.
-
And if you are able, contribute to the needs of the Saints.
-
Make the church your spiritual home.
-
Love the brethren with brotherly affection and if you are able,
-
contribute to the needs of the Saints.
-
Amen. So we are expected to make the
-
church our spiritual home. Make the church your spiritual
-
home. So when it is time for you to
-
come to church, you know at times when during evening
-
services I'll be very tired, and then I know very well that if I
-
come to church I will sleep, but I will still come.
-
Why will I come? It's better for me to come and
-
sit under the feet of God and sleep than to stay in the house.
-
If the church is your spiritual home, whenever you are called
-
upon, and even aside the fact that you are called upon, you
-
yourself, you should be able to make a personal time to spend in
-
the House of God. Praise the Lord.
-
How many hours do you spend in your spiritual home?
-
As we are talking now, you come to church late.
-
Now, sorry late, not a sorry time, operation times.
-
Meanwhile, you yourself, you came late Sunday, any other day,
-
Sunday, which is the last day Eradica, the Rose Day times a
-
little. Mikaela Bakusi.
-
I know Baus Rashami, praise the Lord, Wonder Church is your
-
spiritual home when you come. Yes, we understand that in our
-
dispensation time is money. And it is really true.
-
There are no two ways about it, but the point we are putting
-
across is that at times we should make time to spend.
-
Sorry, when you come to your home you feel relaxed at least
-
when you're being come on just to spend time.
-
Praise the Lord some people who come and see if someone is
-
sucking them. No if the house is your
-
spiritual home when you come to the House of God.
-
Please spend time and that is what shows that you have make
-
you have made the church your spiritual home and even in our
-
case in our case by the grace of God.
-
English assembly when we close near ATSC, Mohanna Mono and I'm
-
a new tea, maybe some more new tea and that one too.
-
Let me let me speak about it. There are some people who always
-
drink the tea, but they have never contributed.
-
I'm talking to those who have, those who have but never
-
contributed. If the church is your spiritual
-
home, you must provide. Praise the Lord.
-
If the church is our spiritual home, if I provide and you
-
provide and we come, we will feel at home, praise the Lord.
-
So as I'm speaking, if I have never provided, I have to change
-
and then I buy a first say. We have come to the House of
-
God. Nya Paul, tinier O tinier

-
You see, Sir, these are some that is widely people do to
-
enjoy them. So who told you Christians we
-
cannot enjoy ourselves? Who told you we can't do that?
-
And I'm saying this because I know that kind of people who are
-
in this assembly. We have blessed, blessed people.
-
We don't have poor people in this church.
-
If you are poor me, I have blessed members, praise the Lord
-
contributed the sacrament, Amen. And then maybe there are some
-
members who are also in need. Member be one watch Reno our who
-

that you are a correct member, you are a good member, is that
-
you support the needy in the church.
-
Amen. Beside your two inches, have you
-
supported A needy person in the church before?
-
Amen. During casual conversation at
-
home or work, do not speak disrespectfully or despairingly
-
about the church and God's servants.
-
Make your concerns and grievances no to the appropriate
-
authority for explanation and redress.
-
Amen. We want to read Ted John Chapter
-
9 verse 10. Tell John Chapter 9 verse 10.
-
So when I come. 910, not 1910.
-
So when I come, I will call attention to what he is doing
-
spreading malicious nonsense about us.
-
Not satisfied with that, he even refuses to welcome other
-
believers. He also stops those who want to
-
do so and puts them out of the church.
-
Amen and this one during casual conversation, maybe we have
-
close church as I was speaking a Drew Babin, I said that if you
-
do that you are not correct. Now upon sorry presiding with
-
the tempo, assuming you're correct.
-
So when someone says something, a leader or whoever, and you
-
don't understand, go closer to the person and ask for the
-
meaning. Hello, something happens in the
-
church you don't understand. Go closer to any leader and ask
-
of the meaning, especially the author or the doer of that song.
-
If you cannot go closer to that person, go closer to a leader.
-
And if you go closer to a leader, it is expected that as a
-
leader you will be able to give a convincing answer.
-
If you cannot give a convincing answer, refer him or her to the
-
author. Praise the Lord Obede asuria
-
samba mamuka asuran who assemboni.
-
Of late, people can insult the church.
-
I'm talking about members who they can insult the chairman,
-
insult the leaders of the church even on radio and social media
-
and they call themselves members of the church.
-
They call themselves members of the church.
-
We are, Sir, we are not a correct member.
-
Hello, Catcher is a presiding, so we are serving a member Papa
-
member Papaya. You go closer to leadership and
-
we have all those people in the
-
church. If you're a good member and
-
someone comes to you complaining about a situation, you are
-
expected to calm the person down and help him or her to the right
-
person. Amen.
-
Now, OK, you could see that. Please project Numbers 1212 for
-
us. If you, if you look, I know some
-
people who belong to the church. They always fought men of God,
-
they always fought the church. It did not end well with them.
-
Hello, those who always fight men of God and the church on
-
where we are here in effort. Let her not see, let's let her
-
not be as one dead of whom the flesh is half consumed when he
-
cometh out of his mother's womb. Cortetino and Moses cried on to
-
the Lord, saying, you heard now, oh God, I beseech thee, praise
-
the Lord is the apartment shop in our dispensational and social
-
media. Or you see human rights and you
-
see the freedom to freedom to what?
-
Freedom of speech. But if you don't take care and
-
you don't know how to handle yourself, how to deal with
-
church matters, you attract the case of God upon you.
-
Do not forget that the church is the Church of God.
-
You see, please take note of this.
-
Whenever something is going on in the church and you don't
-
understand, you don't like it, that does not change the fact
-
that the church belongs to God. We've been koya nami.
-
I saw an idiot. God knows how to take care.
-
God knows how to defend His church.
-
So whatever the word of God admonishes us to do, we must do
-
it. Amen.
-
And ever to study the Bible diligently on your own.
-
And take it with you anytime you go to the House of God.
-
And ever to study the Bible diligently on your own and take
-
it with you anytime you go to the House of God.
-
How many of you brought Bibles this morning?
-
Someone would say, I have my Bible on my food.
-
They are all good. They are all good.
-
But the key point here is that we should endeavor to study our
-
Bible diligently. We should study.
-
Reading is different from studying Studying goes beyond
-
reading. It may be an power sorry, where
-
do Bible. Oh yeah, Lord, thank you Amen.
-
Now, but what we are saying is that steady study your Bible
-
meaning is means that making time to read your Bible to read
-
your Bible and do what and examine the scriptures you are
-
reading. And you see any Christian, any
-
child of God who studies his Bible before you get up, God
-
will speak to you before you get up from your Bible.
-
God will reveal a mystery to you.
-
Hello. So one of the things that shows
-
that you are a correct member is that you study your Bible and
-
when you are coming to church, you bring your Bible.
-
Amen. The scriptures, you can note it
-
down so that you read it. Second Timothy 215 out 1711 and
-
Joshua 18 number 9. Enter reverently, pray
-
fervently, listen attentively, give praise from your grateful
-
hearts and worship God in the beauty of His Holiness.
-
Enter His gate with Thanksgiving and enter His court with praise.
-
Be thankful unto Him and bless His name.
-
Amen. So the number 9 is saying that
-
we should enter the House of God reverently, reverently on our
-
elite or by enough Fina will be our elite.
-
Maybe we have started service. One thing you should know is
-
that when we come to meet and even as we are having the
-
service, Bible is saying that God is enormous.
-
How many of you believe God is enormous?
-
So let me ask you this question. If President John Mahama should
-
be seated here, do you think that you be in this service and
-
you'll be walking around anyhow? Will you do that?
-
Maybe so. I said maybe.
-
So I said really over here, Sir, when you are invited to a
-
location, they will tell you that the President will be
-
seated at this time. So make sure you sit before the
-
President. That is human being for you.
-
So how much more gold? So one of the ways we enter into
-
the House of God reverently is to is to come on time.
-
We sit before the commencement of the service and you should
-
know that the Bible says that our God can hear.
-
So whenever we agree. Now we are starting service at
-
7:00 by 7 God is ready. God is seated until after
-
717273. Wow baby and Hussein.
-
I'm a teenager would die just that we don't see him, but
-
coming to his presence reverently means that even
-
though you don't see him, you ensure that you come and sit
-
before the commencement of the service.
-
Hope your Hawaiian let's crown I've been our cocina santiano
-
power cocina cocoa cuckoo. Praise the Lord.
-
Someone will be late. No, but who say why you late?
-
I'm power will be a while later then your brain would say why
-
you late So operate. Oh yeah.
-
Damn my elites. Hello, Sir.
-
Only partner. Are you correct?
-
You know I mean who say open the home money.
-
No. Yeah.
-
Why you late? We are not coming before him,
-
Reverend. And these things that we are
-
talking about here, Neymar, if you should do it, God will
-
reward you because you acknowledge him and you are
-
coming before him reverently. That we shall pray fervently.
-
So, yeah, AGD for you, Crystal, for we should pray fervently.
-
Pray especially as a Pentecost member, a Pentecost member who
-
does not pray. We are not, you are not what?
-
You are not a correct member. If you should listen to the
-
history of the church. The church was born out of
-
prayer, and it is in the Church of Pentecost that when you come,
-
no one teaches you how to pray. If you were to ask him back what
-
the pastor will tell us, let's pray.
-
What the hell that will tell us, Let's pray.
-
We don't do pray for me, Pray for me, but let's pray.
-
Hello into a Hanawompaya Pentagon Papa.
-
Amen. Marriage #10 Marital fidelity
-
and chastity before enduring marriage are the hallmarks of a
-
true Christian and are therefore strongly aged upon every child
-
of God. Premarital and extramarital
-
relationship have no place in the Church of God.
-
It is therefore required that all members and officers of the
-
church should renounce secrets and shameful ways our men
-
marital fidelity. As a correct member.
-
As a good Christian, it is expected that I will be faithful
-
to my wife. Hello, It is expected that
-
you'll be faithful to your wife. I remember some time ago I
-
needed to lead a group of people to travel.
-
And then because of one or two reasons, I couldn't go.
-
And so I selected a friend who happens to be an elder of the
-
church that I trusted so much. And then I asked him to lead the
-
people to take my place and lead the people after they traveled.
-
The reports I got is that there was this particular lady who was
-
very stubborn. She, I got a lot of complaints
-
about that particular lady. So I gathered courage and in
-
fact, the complaint was given to me by the one who took my place.
-
So I gathered courage and I went behind him and I confronted the
-
lady. What happened?
-
God, the way I know the lady and what the report I was receiving,
-
they were conflicting. So I confronted the lady and the
-
lady told me that when they went.
-
Are you here and an American oil ship, Papa, or you Joshua's.
-
He's very gifted. And the lady told me that when
-
they went the hotel, they went to sleep.
-
He, he, he, the group, he, he, he put them in one hotel and
-
then he decided to take another hotel.
-
And the hotel he took, he decided that the lady should
-
come and sleep in the same room with him.
-
And then he he made advances. So when he made the advances,
-
the lady resisted. And then she came to the other
-
people and that was her crime. Now, even up to now, I want to
-
confess. I don't know how to confront
-
that man. You know why?
-
He's someone I respected and I believed so much.
-
That's it's like I'm dreaming hello add up on you.
-
I'm not saying all elders are like that.
-
Please take notes. But what I'm trying to say is
-
that you can be a child of God full of the Holy Spirit if you
-
don't take care if you don't take care.
-
So one of the things that shows that you are a correct member,
-
one of the things that shows that you are a child of God is
-
that you'll be faithful to your wife, you'll be faithful to your
-
husband. Whenever you fail to do that,
-
you should know that you are not a correct member.
-
You are not a correct Christian. I mean, and then we also talk
-
about premarital affair, premarital and extra marital
-
relationships. You are married, you have
-
girlfriends, you are not married yet, but you also have
-
girlfriends. Not girlfriends say girlfriends,
-
but all written. So the other time someone was
-
saying that open baby aside and wafa, I acquired him to foreign
-
term. But I had your Vini.
-
I had your Vini A vini when I went to your Katrina and I went
-
to your Praise the Lord, it was Yahoo.
-
Monty, Monty, Monty, you see? Yeah, America.
-
But I'm trying to end you see the reason why God has saved us,
-
the reason why God has made us his church, why you read the
-
Bible the end of it all God is Jesus will come back for his
-
church into what the Hannah will soon Yummy said then now what is
-
Sonia monkeys and Kitino and she shall who Yeah, and they say
-
what's now? So what's your me and our uncle
-
Heaven? Yeah, praise the Lord,
-
the moment you go contrary to this, we are fake, Member.
-
Amen. But you see, let me make this
-
point whenever you come to the church leadership and you ask
-
have you had sex before? If you are Crown Mobile banner
-
no more about Panetta Makai a a EBA by a name, not Obama by a
-
biso Bano, Batman or CDA be a more coin Obama also bye.
-
I say I'll say hi. I'm here from you and you buy a
-
question. Yeah.
-
Catch your balance Arena. I see me now.
-
That's everything. I'm young.
-
Praise the Lord, NASA. Almost.
-
You see Nippa to me a Bunny. But one of the ways God Forgives
-
our senses by confessing. So when you come and we ask you
-
have you done it before, just be bored and say yes.
-
When you say yes the church is there to help you.
-
The church will not stop you from getting married and when
-
you do that your marriage attract the blessing of God.
-
But the moment you say no, you should know that you are
-
building your marriage on lies, the foundation of your marriage.
-
You are starting out with lies and any marriage that the
-
foundation is made-up of lies. What would be the end of that
-
marriage? Praise the Lord, the Church is
-
not there to threaten No, no, no, no, no paper.
-
Mature and taking notes. Amen.
-
And in our church we don't believe.
-
We don't believe in secret garden.
-
You could see that in our society if you go out now.
-
It is a normal thing for married men to have concubines.
-
It is a normal thing. You see that a married man when
-
he's going out, he will leave the wife at home.
-
No, I'll cover a small girl. No, I didn't.
-
We don't do that, Catalonia said.
-
We don't accept that. We don't accept that.
-
We don't accept that. And he said also Waha.
-

-
saying I mention aswa AB bauso because what it means that you
-
are helping him to live in sin in your business endeavor to
-
make all your dealings and transactions Bible based, honest
-
and transparent. A true child of God should not
-
deal in items known to be detrimental to the spiritual
-
mentor to the to the spiritual, mental and physical health of
-
others. Example alcohol, cigarettes and
-
narcotic drugs are men and see what we are saying is that as a
-
Christian, you should be mindful of the kind of work, the kind of
-
business you do. As a child of God, you cannot do
-
just any business. Maybe you find yourself in an
-
area, ah, there are many young people there, but you could see
-
that if you should open a beer bar, they will patronize because
-
where the beer buys is very far from them.
-
Or be back cancel. God has given me an idea may yet
-
be about in Free army. In Free Army, any business that
-
would destroy or bring destruction to people.
-
As a child of God you must desist from it.
-
Hello any business, maybe you are selling provision store and
-
then someone will come mommy made a cigarette or see many
-
cigarettes and you know mommy made a cigarettes or see me
-

As a child of God, you need to do away with all these things.

-
to my name Toronto. Now some I'm no quest sorry.

Now yes, you're demon Piper no bonfire as a sorrow buffer and
-

-
So what we are saying is that anything, any business.
-
Maybe I've completed school, we are not getting weak and then
-
maybe someone is encouraging you to say yes, I gave you by a
-
friend hook up. OK, hook up and no one will see
-
you. I shall we I shall we Hello.
-

-
Tights are not a by a veggie. We don't know where the money is
-
coming from. But what we are saying is that
-
as a child of God, any business which is illegal, any business
-
that does not bring glory to God, we should do away with it.
-
Connection. Connection.
-
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And for in your mum, bring me.

-
example of Christ wherever you find yourself.

-
best of everything. Live your life in such a way
-
that people who praise God and his church, because of you,
-
Amen. And Tijano, we are being
-
admonished to live or to be an example of Christ's example now

One of the ways apart from Nehemiah, one of the ways we can
-
be good example also, it's through our dressing.
-
Hello semi babe, preachy namasha, me jeans and I'm a
-
transamashe now me piano and hangi.
-
Hello. But we can, as I'm saying, the
-
way you dress is the way you will be addressed in Pentecost
-
or as a Christian, you must be modest in your dressing.
-
Oh, dress. Yeah, man, you couldn't and I'm
-
man you're doing so at least. Hello.
-
We should be good example, good example wacko baby.

-
across here is that we should be good examples, Mama, a new good
-
example in the Church of Pentecost, the way I address it,
-
Amata, amata, amata in the name of civilization.
-
Hello. When they see us, they should be
-
able to see the difference when I'm say I'm a Pentecost member
-
or I'm a Christian. When they look at me, the other
-
one, the hidden ones, I am for a new Uno my what they look at me
-

-
difference. Now, Sabe, I shower near dress

-
Now with me on one page. Now who is who this morning?
-
What we are saying is that as people of God, as children of
-
God, and as members of the Church of Pentecost, we cannot
-
live our lives anyhow. We have rules and conduct and it
-
is expected that we shall adhere to these things.
-
God bless you. Just stay in the arms of Jesus
-
and I shall be fully who? Let's close our eyes.
-
We have heard a lot this very morning.
-
As a family, God has used adult to bless us, to remind of that
-
of the things that God wants us to do.
-
We want to pray thanking God for His message and also want to
-
pray that God should granted the grace to apply ourselves to the
-
world that we are fed. We abide under the anointing
-
when we applied with God, when we are in Him, and when we love
-
Him. Obeying these rules and conduct
-
will be simple, will be easy for us.
-
It will not be something that is being false on us, but we do it
-
gladly with love. Let us pray this very morning in
-
the name of Jesus Bible say because of the word we are
-
afraid, we are being faithful, we are cleansed.
-
Father, we thank you for an opportunity in us to hear your
-
good words. We bless you that you have
-
admonished our today that we are tossing people of you.
-
Therefore we should be alive. Wedding of the corner we are.
-
We should be on time to come to church.
-
We should not talk bad about others.
-
There's no talk bad about the We should love the and further
-
along, we should live the. Siblings complain about manager.
-
We pray in the name of Jesus. Christ.
-
That will not be talking bad about, so that partner will not
-
come on us. We pray in the name of Jesus
-
this very morning, given us His time in your presence.
-
We pray for grace to apply ourselves to Your word, but I
-
will pray in the name of Jesus, exchange our standing God,
-
divine friends, that we'll be able to live right in the name
-
of Jesus. We'll be able to apply ourselves
-
to the of your word. We'll be able to apply
-
ourselves. We love you before our hearts.
-
We love you for our hearts. We love you for our family.
-
We love you for our soul. In the name of Jesus, and even
-
as of Lord, we tell. We tell a desire to be out of
-
Jesus. We tell a desire to study your
-
word. We tell a desire to obey your
-
commands. Father may be our person every
-
morning in the name of Jesus, so that whatever our blessings are
-
waiting for us, our children will come to pass.
-
In the name of Jesus. We pray that may we be blessed
-
even as we apply ourselves and obeying these commands and the
-
Christ you have fed this very morning in Jesus name we have.
-
I have in you Christ Jesus, you alone.
-
I love to imitate in your ways. In all my ways, I'm for you.
-
What is uncle I have in your righteousness?
-
You alone I look to imitate, in your ass.
-
In all my ways I will follow you, and a Niners will fall.
-
What an example I have Christ, as I love you.
-
Will I hold you, Lord, different all to you my own.
-
What an example I have, precious as I love you.
-
We want to pray this time the evidence we stand in the
-
presence of God. God should change us.
-
God should transform us. God should exchange our weakness
-
with divine strength. God should exchange our attitude
-
to be like that of Christ so that we can be like Christ and
-
leave a perfect example of Christ so others who don't even
-
know cry when they look at our life and our conduct.
-
They will follow Jesus. We want to pray that even as
-
Chinese present, God should transform us.
-
God should make us a noon in the name of this so that we can live
-
as God will want us. That will do the very thing not
-
to please our God in the name of Jesus, that we conduct ourselves
-
well, let us pray in the name of Jesus.
-
Father, Lord, we pray when you make your money, you make your
-
money to be like you yourself, to be in your image.
-
Therefore, your desire, your body has been diversity like
-
you, Jesus. Therefore, even as you send your
-
Son Jesus Christ into the world to murder the way that we should
-
be, we pray the Lord, the Lord of our.
-
Our. Lord Jesus family want to pray.
-
And so Holy Father, we bless you for your word that has come
-
today. We bless you that you especially
-
called us by name and you have placed your name on us.
-
And you want us to be like you as you desire.
-
And you plan from the very beginning, because in the very
-
beginning we said that let us make man to be like us.
-
So your intention is to make human beings to be like you.
-
Therefore, we pray, Jesus that may we be able to live as you
-
live, may we be able to be perfect example.
-
And even as you have called us into the Kingdom of your Son,
-
that today they love, we are presented before us today rules
-
and conduct in this Kingdom, in our life, in our conduct of you,
-
we pray, Lord Jesus, this rules, this rules and conducts.
-
They are our very lives. We pray that may you granted the
-
grace to apply ourselves to these rules and conduct so that
-
the society will be a better place to live in.
-
So that our Christian work with you will grow from grace to
-
grace so that we can possess the nation for you, so that we can
-
transform the world and make it as we intended to be in the name
-
of Jesus. Even as we stand here.
-
Your word says because of your word we have been made whole.
-
If there's any weakness, if there's any limitation, if
-
there's any shortcomings, we pray in the name of Jesus that
-
may you forgive. If there's any sin, may you
-
forgive this very morning, and may you implant into our hearts
-
the heart of repentance so that we will desire to live right.
-
We pray, Holy Father, we can do nothing with our own strength.
-
Therefore let out your strength, be our strength.
-
In the name of Jesus, pour your very self into us, even as shine
-
your present. Pour more of yourself into us.
-
Pour more of your love into our hearts, so that we will love
-
you, the Lord our God. Before our hearts, before our
-
soul, before our mind. We've given all our
-
understanding, and even as we do that, we love our neighbor as
-
ourselves. Father, we pray, let this one be
-
our desire. Let our desire be to please you
-
and to please you alone. Let our desire be to live right
-
of you and of men in the name of Jesus.
-
Father, we pray in the name of Jesus.
-
Then as we have fed your word, may this side be transformed and
-
may we move from glory to glory. Even as we have fed this word
-
today, may we see promotion, may we see an advancement.
-
If this was any case, by the our acts, even us alone and Miriam,
-
they spoke against Moses and cares came upon them.
-
We pray, Lord Jesus, even as shall fed your word today, may
-
you pardon any iniquity and may you cleanse us and may there be
-
a restoration in the name of Jesus.
-
Plant our feet, Father, on higher ground, plant our feet at
-
where you want us to be in Jesus Christ name, Amen.
