Revival touches all areas of life Nehemiah 10

You've tuned into a mega church. We are people hungry to

encounter God through worship and His Word being witnesses to

the world around us. We pray this teaching blesses

you and trust God will reveal Himself to you in a new way

today. And.

If you need prayer for healing or breakthrough, Want to find

out more about Omega? Get to our website or Facebook

page through the links below. We are studying the book of

Nehemiah, and last week we studied Chapter 9.

This week we are going to look at chapter 10.

But the background to understanding this chapter is

somewhere else. The background is in the book of

Deuteronomy chapter 2827, Chapter 11, and in book of

Joshua Chapter 7 and 8. It's scattered all over because

Joshua 7 · chapter mention

God was delivering the Israelites from Egypt, bringing

them out and through. Moses gave a command.

When you enter the land, you ought to read out the blessings

from the Mount of Gerizim and curses from the Mount of Ebal.

There is a picture there. Can we see the picture, please?

It's in the drive. I forgot it.

When you have time, you can retrieve it.

It's in the drive. Thank you.

So the distance between Mount Gerizim and Mount Ebal is about

less than two kilometers, or about two kilometers.

Now you've got 6 tribes standing up on Mount Gerizim and the

other 6 tribes standing on Mount Ebal.

And many of the leaders, most of the leaders would be there, not

all the people, because there's 1,000,000 + 1,000,000, two

million. You cannot stand on the hills.

So you've got the leaders of the tribes, six of them on Mayor

Gerizim and six of them on Mount Ebal, and they are to read out

blessings from Gerizim and cursors from Ibar.

Now you have to shout from Mount Gerizim so people can hear on

Mount Ebal and say Amen. And when they shout out the

words again from the Mount of Ibar, the people on Mount

Gerizim should hear it and say Amen.

Every time they read out a blessing, all the people would

say Amen and imagine the whole place to mountain shaking with.

I am 100% sure the mountains must have been shaking.

When the people are shouting Amen, that is it.

So you see here on the left, Mount Gerizim, it shows 881

meters from sea level and Mount Ebal is 940 meters from sea

level and this was 2890 feet and that is 3084 feet.

And I was just trying to imagine what must be the thing blessing

and the curses, you know, you need to, you need to dominate

blessings should actually dominate the curses basically.

But here you see that the height of the curses is more.

What am I trying to see here is that when we are obeying God,

when we are following His commandments, you will

experience the blessings. And you may not be really

overjoyed about it, but when you break it, the way the curse

comes, you're going to feel more of it.

You'll feel the curse more strongly.

I don't know. This is what I'm thinking.

All the good things I'm enjoying in life, but I'm not grateful to

God. I'm not thanking Him every day.

Oh, I thank you for the sunshine.

How many people do that? Only in public prayer.

They do it. Oh, she does it.

Somebody is raising the hand. That's good.

So every small thing, we need to praise God for every small

thing, every blessing. You know, when I look at the

whole universe, why should God make such a huge universe which

man can never travel through? Even if you travel the speed of

light, you won't touch the other end of the universe.

So big He made so that this small earth can be supported by

such a huge universe. It's not even 1%.

It is 0.0. Oh, oh, oh, oh, 1% of the whole

mass of the universe is the earth.

You can't even see after certain distance, you can't even see the

earth. Like a pinhead in a paper

pinhead. Even that says you cannot see

the earth. It is so small, tiny.

But God has set his eye on this earth and sustaining life on

this earth and is blessed. It's just overwhelming to think

of God's blessing. It's overwhelming experience to

think of God's blessing at the same time, when we deserve a

God, we will feel His hand. It is inbuilt.

It's inbuilt. It's called in theology, they

call it law of retributive justice.

Sometimes people get away. Somebody can murder and may not

be found out. He may never experience, but

some people are caught after 30 years, you know, or 40 years.

Sometimes that's the justice catches up at some time or the

other. But what we are trying to focus

here is Chapter 9, verse 2038. In view of all this, we are

Isaiah 9 · chapter mention

making a binding agreement, putting it in writing, and our

leaders, our Levites and our priests are affixing their seal

to it. What is happening here is OK now

We have been in captivity, we have come back and rebuild the

walls and the temple cells are restored.

Everything is going good. But the all these things have

happened, but now is the time to renew our covenant.

Everybody said renewing the covenant, its time to renew our

covenant. Now this is ordained by law that

once in seven years they had to read the law.

That's what we have seen in chapter 8 Ezra was doing.

He stood up and read the law and now they had to renew the

covenant. So they are now saying, OK, all

of us people cannot come and sign on it, but we push our

leaders to go and put their stamp on the agreement.

What are they trying to do here? They are committing themselves

to do everything that is in the law.

They are committing themselves to do everything in the law.

So here in chapter 10, we see those who sealed it were so they

said they are going to come and seal it.

So who are the people who came and sealed it?

You've got a list of people there.

It begins with Nehemiah the governor, the son of Hakaliya.

So he's an he's the leader who has come back, who left his job

to be a cupbearer in the presence of the king.

And now he's helped the people, united them, gave them a vision

and motivated them. And the walls are built.

Now people are coming back and settling down in Jerusalem.

Before it was less populated. Now they are saying, OK, some of

you have to come in because too few are living inside.

So they cost lots. You'll see it in the next

chapter. They cost lots who should come

and live in Jerusalem. Cool.

So he is the first one mentioned and he's right because he's the

leader. He's the first one to say I put

my seal on it. I agree with it, it's good.

But what is not mentioned there in the chapter, in chapter 10,

verse one is the name of Eliashib, who is Eliashib.

Eliashib is a high priest. His name is not there.

Why is his name is not there? Because two of his children are

married to non Jewish people. Two of his children are married

to non Jewish people. So because this is going against

him, he's absent from the sea. Anything.

It looks right to me what he's doing.

He's saying OK. He's not saying, ah my son, I

have given my children to non Jewish people, but yet I will

come and sign it. He's not saying it.

That's good on his part. At least he's accepting his

guilt and staying away from it so, so many times.

Sometimes the silence of scripture.

We need to find out why Scripture is silent on some

things. It will not talk about the

mistakes. And particularly here, Alia Ship

is not being mentioned, is actually an act of grace.

His name is not mentioned. Polish people have put his name

there. Alia Ship, his sons and

daughters are married to somebody else.

That's why he's not signing the document.

Is it written there? No, it's an act of grace.

Our sins are overlooked by Holy Spirit sometimes for the good,

for our encouragement. But at the same time, I tell you

somewhere Sami says I am not punished account to my sins.

We are not punished account to our sins.

But you are blessed more beyond your imagination when you focus

on the blessings. It's just mind blowing and God

doesn't deal with us account to our sins.

And then you have here other names, Zedekiah, Seraya,

Azariah, Jeremiah, Pashu, the length goes and the name of Ezra

is not there, is it there in chapter 10 you don't find the

name of Ezra, why his fathers name is mentioned there?

Seraya Isa after the name of the governor, the son of Akalaya,

Zedekiah. Seraya.

Seraya is the father of Ezra. So because his father's name is

mentioned, Israel is including the father.

So there is no separate mention of Israel there.

Are you excited to hear something?

So when you sit down and study all these kind of things, it

just, I get excited about the word, you know.

Oh this is so awesome. So Ezra is mentioned because his

fathers name is mentioned. Ezra is not mentioned in

particularly by name is not there, but his fathers name is

there because the father is the head.

He is taking second place. Even though he's a leader, he's

hiding under the fathers name. That's really good.

So now you go through all these names.

I think the names number about 44.

I could be right or wrong about it. 44 people have sealed with

their signature seal the document.

I don't know whether we should do something like that, but at

the end of this message I may be encouraged to say if you are

committing yourself to study the Word, you want to obey the Word

and preach the Word, stand up. You make an agreement with God,

you make a cover with God that you will study this book and you

will obey what is written in the book and that you will preach it

to others from the book. That's the motto of Ezra.

And we will try to do it at the end of the message.

And then who are the people who different kinds of people are

involved in signing the document?

So you have the Levites. This whole list is Levites.

And then you have again some more mentioned Levites.

And then you have leaders of the people and you have got, what

are the names? Yeah, these were the priests,

sorry, priests, Levis, leaders of the people.

That is chiefs of the nation, the main groups.

Every tribe has its head and sometimes they divide the

Israelites, you know, they tried to have 1 / 1001 / 101 over a 10

for the purpose of regrouping and going into battle, that kind

of a thing. So the these people were the

chiefs, main people who are controlling, controlling the

events in Israel. So they were all there, leaders

of the people or the chiefs of the nation were there.

The rest of the people was 28 priests, Levites.

Priests, Levites, gatekeepers, singers, temple servants, and

all who separated themselves from the neighbor, neighboring

peoples for the sake of the law of God, together with their

wives and all their sons and daughters who are able to

understand. Now that is again a very

important Scripture. That is verse 28, who are

involved somehow put their document the seal, but somehow

not, but they are agreeing to it.

They are saying who are the people agreeing to it?

Rest of the people. Who are the rest of the people?

Priests, Levites, gatekeepers, singers, temple servants, all

who separated themselves from the neighboring peoples for the

sake of the law of God. Now when the revival comes, this

is what we continue. Last week we said revival

continuing. So what is the impact of

revival? Ask the question to neighbor,

what's the impact of revival? I don't hear anything.

Can you say one more time? Yes, the impact of river will

affect every part of your life. And here first thing they see

here is that they are separating with their wives all the sensors

who are able to understand all these now join their brothers

and nobles and bind themselves with a curse and an oath to

follow the law of the Lord given through Moses and the servant of

God, and to obey carefully all the commands, regulations,

decrease of the Lord our God. So first requirement here is

they separated themselves from the neighboring peoples for the

sake of the law of God. What does it mean?

How should we apply to ourselves?

Basically the Israelites were living with so many non Jewish

people also living with them and they were intermarrying and

having children and grandchildren and great

grandchildren, all these things. But now they are taking the most

difficult step is to separate themselves from non Jewish

people. I don't know that is applicable

today, but it's just historical thing.

But the point I'm trying to make is the New Testament also when

Paul rush to this kind of mixed marriage context, he says if the

wife is not a believer and the husband is a believer or husband

is a non believer and wife is a believer, if they want to live

together, let them live together.

But they should not have started it.

That's a different matter. OK, I am not with that.

You can just marry anybody. I am not saying that a believer

should marry only a believer. A Christian must marry a

Christian. But if it had had already

happened, let it continue. I am not saying no, no, you need

to separate. No, that is not the New

Testament. The Old Testament says you

separate. And they separated themselves.

They put away the wives and the children and grandchildren,

everything. They have done it.

It is a very difficult step to do for them and they have done

it. And everybody who can understand

now that is our Sunday school. Basically, if you have a child

that is able to understand they are part of this covenant.

They were making everybody. We don't separate the Sunday

school and the church, but for the sake of making the covenant,

everybody who can understand has to agree with it then was 30.

We promise not to give our daughters in marriage to the

peoples around us or take their daughters for our sons.

This is actually again there is a what you call a customer.

I think it is almost all over the every country follows.

This is the is the when a man and a woman marry, the woman

leaves her family and goes to the husband husbands family and

nowadays it's not there too much.

When they are married, they have their own home.

That's a different matter now. But in the Old Testament they

carry the name whose name, surname changes.

A man's surname does not change. Usually it is a ladies surname

changes usually so that is going into that family take the name.

So that's what they are saying here is we promise not to give

our daughters in marriage to the peoples around us or take their

daughters for our sons. That means basically there is no

intermarriage between different kinds of people.

Jews cannot marry non Jewish people and they want to uphold

the law now. So the revival when it comes, it

begins with marriage. It has to begin with marriage

and from there it goes on into different areas.

Next you see again in verse 31 when the neighboring people

being bring merchandise or grain to sell on the Sabbath, we will

not buy from them on the Sabbath or on any holy day.

So it has to impact the business.

The non Jewish people want to do business seven days a week, so

they bring grain and merchandise from outside Jerusalem and they

want to come inside and sell it. And these people used to go and

buy it and name. I said no, you will not do it

anymore. And he shut the gate.

You'll see it in the next chapters.

You'll see it. He actually shut the gate on the

Sabbath and he did not allow anybody from outside Jerusalem

to come inside until the Sabbath is over to prevent people from

coming in to do business. And when they do business,

they're breaking the law, breaking Sabbath.

That's the reason why he said no, we should not break the

Sabbath and that is how it is going to impact it is affecting

the businesses. Then it continues every 7th

year. We will we will not, we will

forego working the land and will cancel all dates.

Now this is having a big impact again the the Deuteronomy, what

it says is you shall plough your land and grow crops and reap

everything for six years. The 7th year you will not plow

the land, you will not sow, you will not reap.

This is the Old Testament, OK. And now it doesn't happen

anywhere in any part of the world.

Nobody has a Sabbath. A sabbatical year is not being

followed. So 7th year is called in Hebrew

it is called smita, SMITAH smita smita.

So the 7th year is called sabbatical and 7th year is not

supposed to be no ploughing, no reaping, nothing.

Just you leave the land like that.

Whatever grows by itself, you take it.

Otherwise, no, you don't do anything and cancel the debts.

If you owe, if you give money to somebody, when the 7th year

comes, you have to cancel the debt He gives you back.

You take it, but it doesn't give you cancel it.

Wow. It is going to have economic

impact. It's going to have economic

implications, and when we obey the law of our God, we have to

be willing to lose some things to gain something.

Now what are you gaining? Why did God give you law?

When you obey the law, you are in favor with God.

When you obey the law, every blessing pursues you.

When you obey the law, you are going to be healthy.

And when you obey the law, all your cattle will do well.

They will give their young ones at the right time, right season,

and your crops will bear fruit. I have a good testimony to share

about it. Once I went to Punjab, one small

meeting was supposed to be there by evening, 7:00 I think.

And these guys took me round and round and reached me there at

9:00 or 10:00. Let's say this is group standing

there and I'm just coming from inside.

I step into the door and I see somebody at the back jerk like

this. I said, oh, something is

happening in this lady, you know, So I come, go to the wall

and I just sit there at the wall.

That's where people are filled up there.

So I sit near the wall, stand near the wall, sit near the

wall. This lady stood up from there.

As soon as I stood there, she stood there and she was doing

her hand like this. I said OK, the devil is

manifesting now. I wasn't bothered because she's

at the end of the crowd. And after some time she came

stood in the middle and doing the same thing.

And after some time I was singing was still continuing.

She came, stood in front of me and when she was doing like

this, it was going from my nose like this.

So I asked the pastor, do you want me to deal with the lady

now or afterwards? He said whatever you feel right,

you do it. I said in the name of Jesus

Christ of another put my hand on her head.

She just fell on the on the ground and she sat there and all

through the singing and the message she didn't disturb at

all, but I prayed for her. At the end again she manifested

and she fell to the ground and I thought she is free.

Next day we had meetings in the in the city and she came to the

into the meeting and after the meeting should come up and say,

please pray for me. You pray for me yesterday, pray

for me today in the name of Jesus, put my hand, he slayed in

the spirit and 2nd day, third day.

Then after a couple of months, I called the pastor and asked him,

hey, there was one particular lady of all the crowd, There was

one particular lady who came again and again, do you know

anything about her? He said, oh pastor, there's a

big testimony there. I said, what is a big testimony?

She invited 300 of her relatives.

How many 300 and gave a testimony before all of them

saying I went to these meetings, something happened to me.

Now everything is changed. Before I used to have cows, they

would not give milk. I have I plow through the field

and there's no fruit there and there's no crops coming up.

Now everything is changing my life.

This Jesus has changed my life inside out.

Praise the Lord for such a testimony.

So obeying the law is going to give you that kind of an edge in

your life, and not obeying the law is going to give the

opposite. Obeying the law will make you

strong like a mountain, but deserving the law will make you

like a mouse that is running away.

You can't stand up your enemies. You will have enemies coming up

everywhere. These things are going to happen

because that is automatic. Obeying brings blessing,

disobedience brings crushes. How much curse is there on the

world today? Because the most most of the

world is deserving God. Most of the world is deserving

God. And that's why we need to pray

that God will have mercy and touch people, change people.

It's very important. OK, so next thing that you see

here is we are assuming responsibility for carrying out

the commands to give 1/3 of a shekel each year for the service

of the House of our God. Third of a shekels, very tiny

amount, small piece of silver, but they say we are going to

give annually, once once a year that piece of silver.

Why? For the maintenance of the House

of God. So the question now comes here

is how is this applicable now in the New Testament?

In the New Testament, there are no rules of giving.

But giving is not discouraged, is in fact encouraged.

But how do you give? You give out of a because you

love God, because you love his Kingdom, because you want his

Kingdom to prosper. You give not because it's a law

saying you have to give your 10%.

Am I communicating here? Why do we give out of free?

Because you love God, because your love is Kingdom to prosper.

That's why you give and how much you give.

It's up to you. It's up to you.

But I in my own life, I have hard and fast.

You know, I have thought through it.

There was a time my salary was today's equal to $10 a month.

Maybe those days it was more because I can't find out how

much was a rupee compared to a New Zealand dollar.

But today's dollar value, if I put it just $10, I have to make

in a month. That's how I started and I had

to I wanted to give half to my family those days to support my

mom and my daughter and my sisters to pay the fee for food

and everything. And other half, if I rent a

house, would go, other half would go for the rent.

So I would choose not to stay in this independent house but share

accommodation in some other place.

So from that I had to eat, I had to pay for my stay.

I life was not easy, but I said I will honor God with what he

has given me and 10% goes to him.

A month will come when you cannot put the 10%.

It's very difficult. You know, in that little money

you can't take it out and I would keep that in mind and

compensate it later when I'm a little comfortable.

I'm not saying this is how you should do.

This is what I have done in my growing years.

I had no fellowship in the place where I was working actually at

the time and but still God gave me grace.

When you are faithful when you have little, you'll be faithful

when you have more. So that's what I would like to

say, not I this is not something I really wanted to preach on

giving, but this is there in the Scripture, so I need to deal

with it. OK, who?

You give that third of a shekel? Why the third official?

What is it used for? It is used for setting the bread

in the house. In the house, the priestly

family, they will bake the cakes or the bread and make 12 cakes,

six on one heap, another heap, 6 of them they put on the

showbread. There's a table specifically

mentioned for bread and they put that bread every week, beginning

of the week and take it away at the end of the week.

That means you eat it after six days.

Stale bread, OK, nobody died. And that was not allowed to be

eaten beforehand. You had to keep it there for six

days. And then the priestly family,

those who are clean only are allowed to eat, not anybody.

Somebody comes along, you can't give the bread to.

Oh, you are hungry, you take the bread.

No, that's holy. Only to be eaten by the priestly

family. But it costs money.

So from this 1/3 of a shekel, that money is used for putting

the bread there on the show table and then to burn for green

offerings and the burnt offerings on the Sabbath, new

moon festivals, appointed fees for the holy offerings for sin

offerings, to make atonement for Israel and for all the duties of

the House of our God. That money goes to maintenance

of the religious system. Maintenance of the religious

system. Why is it required?

Your life is closely tied with religion.

There. You cannot separate.

It is not like you are born a Jewish person.

I have nothing to do with the temple and nothing to do with

the sun, Hadrian. You cannot say you are part of

it. You are born into the system.

You cannot get rid of it. But today, Christians choose not

to do anything with the church, not to do, not to give, not to

support. You know that's not right.

What happens is when you are in relationship with God, when you

love God, when you worship him, when you want to his Kingdom to

go ahead, you will do nothing but give.

You cannot say no, no, no, I'm not giving.

This is my money. You cannot say that there's

nothing like my money. If it doesn't give you, you

don't have anything. So we need to take the

responsibility to partner with the Kingdom of God.

That's the main principle. Very, very important.

Then what do you see here? The priests and the Levites and

the people have caused lots to determine when each of our

families is to bring to the House of our God at set times

each year a contribution of wood to born on the altar of the Lord

of God as written in the law. You need firewood to burn the

sacrifices on the bronze altar. You need the firewood.

So who will do it? The priests and the Levites.

They cost lots at different times of the year, let's say

monthly, once a month. Once a month we'll bring the

firewood. So cost a lot.

Your name comes or somebody else's name comes, or someone

else's name comes according to the times you will bring and

supply the firewood. Does it cost time to go and to

cut the trees down? Does it cost time to gather them

and dry them? Does it cost time and effort to

put them on a cart and tow them to the temple?

Did anybody say I should be paid for doing all these things?

It is voluntary. Why?

Because you love God and His house.

See, this is what we need to catch many people in the New

Testament times. They don't understand what is

this principle of love and living in covenant and longing

for the Kingdom of God and promoting the Kingdom of God

that spirit we had to get it and when we get it, we will not

complain about giving at all. We don't need a rule for it.

You will just give cool. The next we see here verses

3536. We also assume responsibility

for bringing to the House of the Lord each year the first fruits

of our crops out of every fruit tree.

When you go set, your sick have been sickle.

Yeah, sickle in the in the thing and harvest it, and you dry the

grain and then you pound the grain or you mill it.

The first fruits have to come to the temple of God.

They bring that and offer it to the sacrifice.

So the priest will take a handful of it and burn it on the

altar and the rest goes to the maintenance of the priest.

The flower, the first fruit, the family benefits and what else

They give first fruits of our crops of every fruit tree.

If you have a fruit tree, it will bear fruit in its own

season. But the very first time you

pluck something, you are bringing it to the temple of God

as a first fruit. We have raw ones.

Give us a bottle gourd. I said, Rao, what is this for?

This is the first one we have cut from the tree, from the

plant. Praise God, that idea of giving

it to somebody, you know, it's a blessing.

When you share things with somebody, you have a blessing.

So we should not stop doing it. Basically, we should keep doing

it because it blesses somebody who don't have skills to put a

plant. And you know, like me, it helps.

Just joking. So as it is written in the law,

we will bring the first born of our sons and of our cattle, of a

herds and of a flock to the House of our God, to the priest

ministering there. How do you bring your son?

I can understand you got from first fruits of the herd, first

fruit of the cattle. OK, bring the calf and give it

to the priest. How do you do with your son in

the in the oldest when you read the book of Deuteronomy, when

you have a son, first born son, you have to dedicate him to God.

First born son belongs to me. God says every first born

belongs to me. Cattle, animals, human beings,

it's all mine. But there's another clause which

says you have to redeem your son.

You have to redeem your son. So there's a price to pray

whatever number of shekels you pay and you redeem your son.

But basically your children belong to God.

Second thing, this is very interesting.

What I read in the Old Testament, when you have a

donkey is of no use in the temple of God.

You can't sacrifice a donkey, so you have to redeem the donkey.

You have to pay the money and redeem the donkey.

You know, that's all symbol of salvation by faith in Jesus

Christ. Do you see that?

You have to understand that everything needs to be redeemed.

Even a donkey's head has to be redeemed.

And in the New Testament, you see here, what does Paul say?

Gospel must be preached to all creation, including donkey.

So we have this beautiful the world is full of richness.

I tell you everywhere you see the principle of salvation

coming through, you need to redeem.

But if you don't want to redeem a donkey, OK, you say, I have

enough 1000 donkeys. I don't need one more.

You need to break his neck. That's what the Old Testament

says. I don't want to be too harsh on

it, but that's what the Old Testament says.

The point I'm trying to say here is nobody wants to break the

neck of a donkey. He will just pay the money and

redeem the donkey. But if somebody is too harsh on

his own heart and doesn't want to redeem the donkey, that's

what is to be done. That's what the Bible says.

Old Testament, cool. So we have to do all these

things and we are binding all this.

It is as written in the law. We will fulfill it.

We will do it so many times its coming through.

So that is what is the essence of it is doing the law is more

important and then I must conclude it now.

So the first fruit, first of our ground meal of our grain

offerings are the fruit of all the trees of our new wine and

oil. We will bring a tithe of our

crops to the Levites, for it is the Levites who collect the ties

to all the towns where we work. So now whose job is it to bring

the ties to the Temple of God? Leavers were not just living in

Jerusalem, they were stationed in different parts of the entire

Judea and you know, all of Israel.

And wherever they live they have to go and collect the tithe.

But you need one of the priests to accompany for

responsibilities sake. A priest from Jerusalem will go

and the leavers will help and they collect the tithe, and from

the tithe they will take a tithe and bring it to Jerusalem.

For the 9/10 of what is collected belongs to the Levites

because they don't own the land, they don't plow, they don't sow,

they don't reap. How will they live from the

tithes of collected in that area?

The Levites live from their tithe.

It comes to the high priest. This is a very tight knit system

in the Old Testament, but we don't follow it anymore in the

New Testament times. We don't follow it, OK, And

mostly what we do is voluntary. You love God, you give.

You don't love God, that's your job.

Not my job. Cool.

Then a priest decided from Aaron is to accompany the Levites when

they receive the ties, and the Levites are to bring a tenth of

the ties up to the House of our God.

The essence of all these things is written in the last verse.

We will not neglect the House of our God.

Let's all read it together. We will not neglect the House of

our God. That is the commitment.

You need to remember that the system has to continue.

We need the church because that's the place where we sit

and study the world and we need to contribute somewhat

definitely to it and and otherwise how will it go?

How will Gods word be preached week after week?

How will people be healed? How will they will receive

deliverance? How will the gospel preach the

whole city? We need to do it somehow.

I am might put God has put on my heart that we should reach the

city. I don't know how, but I'm

waiting on God week after week. Give me a strategy to reach the

city. We need to do it.

So whole whole thing is done like that.

So when they were repenting from their lack of obedience to the

law, now they are repenting and turning to God S what area of

their life is affected? Every area is affected,

marriage, family, finances, everything.

There is no area exempted. So if you are a Christian, you

cannot tell God, OK, I am, I do not mind giving the money part,

but marriage do not enter there or I will allow you in my

marriage but not in my finances. There is no area exempt from

God. If there is any area, we have to

surrender it to God and say God, you be king of my life, you are

king of my life, you are the Lord of my life.

And then the revival continues in your life until you

surrender. There is no revival.

Every area of our life has to be surrendered to God.

There is no area exempt from God.

You cannot even I tell you, even if you want to oversleep, you

have to tell bring it under God. It is too much of coffees.

You have to breathe under God. Now there is a limitation for

everything you may say, preacher you are, you are going beyond

your boundary to talk to me. I am saying bring your life

under the authority of God, Lordship of Christ, every area.

This is not a single area. You cannot say no, no, this is

not a area. Or whether it is your mobile

phone, you know, social media, you cannot run it.

Run your life. You have to run the mobile

phone. Mobile phone should not run your

life. So there is no area.

I am telling you. So the best thing that we can

ever do is to say with these people that we want to bind

ourselves with an agreement and we want to do all that is in

this law written in the law. I tell you this is so much of

joy in obeying the law, obeying God and God will speak to you in

different ways. And sometimes when you're you

may not be written in the in the Bible itself, but you may hear

something God said. Do you do this?

There will be a law that can be connected generally, but many

things God can speak on his own. Don't do this, don't do that,

but we need to hear from God. That's very important.

Cool. So let's just, I'm not saying

everybody stand. No, those of you who want to

say, God, I want to surrender my life to you.

I want you to be Lord of my life.

I yield every area of my life. You want to say that you can

stand up and then we will sit together.

And some of you may say, no, I don't want to do it and you can

sit. That's not a problem.

Thank you, Jesus, I will be praying on everybody's behalf.

And when you say Amen, you are putting your signature to what I

have said. Father God, we thank you for

your children who are this morning committing themselves to

obey all that is in your book and to receive every blessing

that comes from obedience to the law.

We praise You, We praise You, We praise You, We praise You, we

praise you, for you are the living. 1 You are the king of

our life. Every area of our life you are

king. There's no area that is exempt

from your lordship. And those of us who are young

and not yet married, they have to marry only those who know

Jesus and accept his lordship and those are in the marriage

continue in the same status. But I pray that you give us

grace to make you Lord of our life very clearly, that

everybody will know that we belong to you.

And every area of our life, including finances, children, a

job, career or vocation, everything we bring, our free

time around, times of work, everything we bring under the

Lordship. We praise you God, be King of

our life, be Lord of our life, the glory of your name.

Help us to receive every blessing because you are King of

our life and everybody who agrees with me will say Amen in

Jesus name. We have asked.
