-
Hey there, you're listening to the Generation's Church podcast. We pray that the
-
word of God today will challenge, change and channel you into your God given
-
destiny. Now let's get started. Many of you would know this is this
-
crazy thing happened. We have positimity low here, my mentor who preached the
-
word. And of course by now you know the message he preached. What
-
a timely message before he passed on, What a way to go right,
-
doing what he loved and serving another church. And that is so so pasiti
-
tim. I know some most feel almost like guilty, like what did he
-
die in our church? He should die in his own church. His family
-
should be the last ones to see him. And now we can process all
-
that, all that guilt. I felt that guilty, like why else shouldn't
-
have been us? Should have been his family in his church. But yet
-
God chose to write the script this way that there will be that will be
-
his testimony that he died doing what he loved. He preached the word,
-
and he did it in another church, a small, little growing church.
-
That's his testimony even and of course the message was about the main thing.
-
Uh, you know, he asked me several times before Saturday about what to
-
preach on Saturday, like he should do, right, You asked the lead
-
pastor of the church, you know, what's just going through right now?
-
What series are you're on? What should I preach? You know? He
-
did that, but I somehow did not feel right to tell him what to
-
say. Uh. I said, you know, just share what's on your
-
heart now. Actually, when he ass the third time, I really felt
-
like, you know what, I'll just tell you. But somehow I just
-
said, you know what, past just preach or whatever got puts on your
-
heart. And he came and brought that word. It's a great word.
-
So I like to if you don't mind, like to pick up from that.
-
Okay, let's pick up from that. Not trying to take advantage of
-
the situation. You know, people have very weird ideas about what's going on.
-
That's not what I'm trying to do, but to be faithful. But
-
the team reminded us to keep the main thing the main thing. Right.
-
That means to not be distracted, to not be be pulled away from what
-
the main thing is. Keep the main thing the main thing. And it's
-
from Matthew twenty eight, verse eighteen to twenty which is the great commission.
-
That's the main thing. Go you, therefore, and make disciples of all
-
nations. Don't forget that church. A church that forgets that mission or that
-
commission is not a church. A church that doesn't saved, the loss is
-
lost in itself. Remember that Matthew twenty eight eighteen to twenty Great Commission.
-
Making disciples is the main thing. Now we can sit and debate and argue
-
and dissect what making disciples means, because different churches has different definitions. But
-
I like to keep it simple. Making disciples is just helping someone know Jesus.
-
It's the process of helping somebody become more like Jesus. That's the process.
-
Discipleship is a process. It's not an event. It's not a project.
-
It's not a program. It's not numbers, it's not statistics. It's
-
a process, a journey of becoming more like Jesus. Amen. He also
-
reminded us to leave the nineteen nine and to pursue the one. Sometimes we
-
just got to do that. Sometimes we have to say, you guys,
-
are all right. I gotta go for the one that's lost, And that's
-
in Matthew eighteen twelve. Plast the team said that that's how he lived his
-
life. He would often leave the nineteen nine to pursue the one that's lost.
-
Amen. So it's been two weeks now, can I ask us very
-
so such a question, have we kept the main thing the main thing?
-
Having been reminded that there is such a thing as the main thing? Have
-
we kept the main thing the main thing? In fact, it should be
-
a question we ask ourselves every day, a few times a day, many
-
times a day. Have we kept the main thing the main thing? If
-
the main thing is to make disciples? Have we made disciples in the last
-
two weeks? Have we been somewhere along that process? I'm not talking about
-
converting somebody in the last two weeks. That could happen, not saying someone
-
says I want to be a pastor in the last two weeks, you know,
-
don't have to be big dramatic changes. But in the last two weeks
-
have we been a part of that process? What is discipleship? We define
-
it this way in this church, facilitating one's process of becoming more like Jesus.
-
I say facilitating because none of us can make someone else become like Jesus.
-
It's not our jobs but we facilated our organized classes. I'll preach the
-
word. I will pair you up with somebody or put you in the right
-
group, whatever I need to do to help you in your process or becoming
-
more like Jesus. Or another way to say is to journeying with someone.
-
I would journey with you. I'll work with you. I don't have all
-
the answer, but I will do this with you so that you and I
-
we can both become more like Jesus. That's discipleship. Let's go e therefore
-
into all the world with everybody, and let's help each other become more like
-
Jesus. If that's reading the Bible a little bit more fine, if that's
-
sending you a devotional plan grade, if that's sending your worship song, whatever
-
it means. But it's this journey. Have we done that in the last
-
two weeks. I got a text yesterday and I'll show you this text from
-
Pasta Shan. But with Pasta Sean is now the senior pastor of Every Nation
-
Church Malaysia. He's taken over past the team's role and it's something they've planned
-
for a long time, and he said it is today. The guy who's
-
this yesterday today, the guy who shrinks Past the team's badminton record accepted Christ
-
via a meeting with Pastor Joseph, the Chinese Church Pastor. He cried so
-
much, and pass the team passed, and Passit Team has been reaching out
-
to him. The mission continues. And I hope this joke or what I'm
-
about to say is not sensitive, not insensitive. I was just talking to
-
a friend and my friend said, wow, Past the team is still saving
-
lives while he's dad. But that's what happens when your planner seed you see,
-
you don't have to be there all the time. He planned the seat
-
someone else waters the guy who shrinks his record someone the Passit teave meets constantly,
-
maybe so word a sentence to a invitation to an event here and there.
-
And although Pasit Team himself did not get to see him come to Christ
-
with his old eyes, he's winniessing from heaven. But all the seats he's
-
sown throughout this whole time has borne fruit. Just yesterday, give the big
-
cleb. Come on, Allow me to say this is always insensitive. Past
-
the team is still saving life. Date, how are we doing? We
-
keep the main thing, the main thing the last just two weeks now,
-
some of you mights goast. I've heard this podcast over and over again.
-
It's just a pasta team thing, Like I can't live like him, Like
-
what wake up five am in the morning, start my appointment at seven and
-
at twelve every single day? That's not me? I agree. Not everybody
-
can be past the team. Not everybody should. Amen. I wanted to
-
be just like him until God spoke to me that at CAM I told you
-
guys, right, we all have our own calling. I can learn from
-
him, gather from him, be a bit like him. But I'm me
-
and he's him, and I know not but but but please be careful not
-
to not to discount the entire thing just because Ah, I'm not like I
-
don't play badminton. For one, I'm not a badminton kaky, So no
-
one's gonna ever shrink my record and get safe. Sure, but if you
-
think this is a passiti tive thing, think again. The method may be
-
a positive thing. He's crazy, fight seven after twelve am every single day,
-
back to bad two hours beydminton every day. Yeah, that's that's a
-
pass the team thing. The method may be him, but the man date
-
is all of us, and the message is the same, the one message.
-
We are sinners. We need a savior. There's only one savior.
-
He lives in you. You got to share it. That's the message.
-
I don't care if you play badminton or golf. That's the message. The
-
Mandate is for all believers, not just someone named him. Okay, if
-
your name is hard to pronounce, it's for you too. The message is
-
the same a man date is for all of us, every single believer.
-
Amen. So it's not just a passit team thing. The mandate the message
-
where I get this from First Genesis, chapter one, verse twenty seven,
-
twenty eight. When God created human beings, the first thing he said to
-
them was be fruitful and multiply. A whole other teaching on this one of
-
these days, I'll do it. But the first thing God said to human
-
being noticed. God created male and female. He didn't mention any And so
-
anyone thinks, oh, food multiplied, that's so adam. And if specifically
-
know, it's when God made men and women male and female human beings.
-
Before you say, oh, isn't this like a populate the earth and make
-
babies thing? Because I only hear this in weddings at the third thse mm
-
hmm yeah. Third those we you, I'm saying, we got we wanted
-
to make babies. No, no, no no. Then then then they
-
were suggesting you can only fulfil God's plan if you're married. No children can
-
feelfill God's plan. And if you study those words, be fruofull. Multiply
-
it means to be poufuo means to produce. To multiply means to make something
-
greater. It means a baby become an a doubt. That's multiplying. When
-
a small group becomes more many many small groups, that's multiplying. Everybody,
-
anybody is called to do this be to be productive without life and to multiply
-
disciples. Somebody say, a man, So for all of us, not
-
just past the team, and not just every nation, church, generation,
-
church, and all the other churches in the world. That's why we're here.
-
And secondly, May two twenty eight was eighteen to twenty. You know
-
this, Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, all of us,
-
all of us. John chapter four was one to forty five familiar story.
-
So three things I want to say, Jesus'll he literally leaves the ninety nine
-
to reach the one that's this is Jesus. And I think it makes total
-
sense to learn from this guy, son of God, what kind of life
-
you should live. And so I purposely did don't give you the title of
-
today's message at the beginning and giving it to you now. And it's called
-
living on purpose. Sentence is not done. So number one, we got
-
three points. I want to encourage you, urge you, push you,
-
spur you, and inspire you. All of us got to live on purpose,
-
or another way to say is live on mission. Live like you're on
-
a mission every single day of your life. And I'm not talking about your
-
mission to make the next billion bucks, and I'm not even saying that that's
-
wrong. I'm just saying that all other missions, making a million bucks,
-
having a million followers, whatever, you know, next business plan, right,
-
the next book, all other mission must subject and submit to this main
-
mission or making disciples. That's it. And so when I say live on
-
purpose, live on mission, so that your life is all about getting someone
-
else one step closer to Jesus every day, the Badminton record guy, once
-
upon a time was a million steps away from Jesus and then past the team
-
shows up and say can you do my record? And after I don't know
-
how many months or years, and that guy was much closer. And yes
-
past the team went home to be do with a lord. But yesterday someone
-
found this guy at just one step away and say would you like to receive
-
Jesus? And he says yes, great with all the process. And I
-
want us to realize that we are on mission, because if you don't realize
-
this, you will not live intentionally. You'll miss certain opportunities. So next,
-
next slight, please, I want to ask us to think about this.
-
What is the purpose or mission of your life? Do you know if
-
you struggle or don't know the answer this question, it just simply means you
-
know you mean you may not be living a bad life. It just means
-
that you're not living intentionally. You may not recognize certain opportunity to come your
-
way. You don't know why it's there. You don't know why you're handsome
-
that that has a purpose. You don't know why you have this talent that
-
has a purpose. But can I encourage you to live on purpose? Question?
-
Have you written your purpose statement? See? If that's my mission,
-
then every single day, whether I'm in a grab car driving the car.
-
I'm in a footsalt field'm playing badminton, or I'm sleeping or whatever it is
-
I'm doing buying fruits. That will be my mission. It changes your life.
-
Jesus lived on purpose, and it's very clear what his purpose is.
-
Look nineteen ten says he came to seek and save the loss. That's it.
-
Came to earth to see and save the loss. You know he did
-
this while he was a carpenter. He wasn't a full time worker. No
-
no, no, he didn't work for the church. It's not a pastor,
-
not just a preacher. He was a carpenter. He was a teacher.
-
They call him rabbi. He attends weddings, hit the water to wine,
-
He goes fishing, He eats a lot, all that while on mission.
-
Every meal, every fishing trip, every table is making. He gets
-
what I'm saying, Pastor, you I think us to be pastors are No,
-
we can't pay that many, not yet at least no, no,
-
no, no, no. Hey. By the way, that also means
-
numerically, it is not possible for this sapple making to be a full time
-
job like a like a full time staff job like we will never higher enough
-
pastors to do all your follow up for you and to do all your discipling
-
making for you. You get that right, because we need you guys to
-
be business man, doctors, lawyers. It could just be there and the
-
discapple making cannot just be done by the full time. We all have to
-
do this, amen. And that's that's why I think Jesus purposely became a
-
campetal, just so that one day I can prec and say he was a
-
carpenter. He went fishing. So yes, sure, don't feel givetvem and
-
go fishing. Hopefully it's not a Saturday, but you know, but if
-
you can help it, if you really canna help it, sure go fishing.
-
But be on mission. That sentence wies it. If you have to
-
go, do like I do know, then your six tailor Swift concert this
-
year alone on a Saturday, somehow it must be four o'clock. Okay,
-
sure, but do it on mission. I don't know, find a way
-
to the backstation, sweets. I don't know what love, You know what
-
I'm saying, because it would be wrong if I'm preaching a message just to
-
get you to come to you, because that's not the point. No,
-
it's pretty important. It's very very important. But live on mission, because
-
Jesus did that while he's eating, while he's at a wedding, while he's
-
making tables. So whatever it is to do, live on mission, live
-
on purpose, and I mean the purpose of God, and I mean make
-
disciples, share the gospel, be a witness all of that. If you're
-
gonna do business, save lives while doing it. If you're gonna play badminton,
-
save lives while doing it. If you're gonna go to Taylor Swift concert
-
like you're six to one this year again, safe lives or you're at it.
-
That's the point. Look at Jesus. The Bible says he had to
-
pass through Samaria. He had to he was going to Galilee. So you
-
look at the map Judea, Samaria, Galilee. So he had to pass
-
through. His direction where he's going is dictated by his purpose. He's not
-
dictated by entertainment. What's fun, I need a break? Whatever, Okay,
-
everything is. I need to go here because that's where my father sent
-
me. The direction of your life is it dictated by purpose or something else?
-
Because for Jesus, it's all where he passed by his schedule, his
-
map, his ways is whatever. It's all dictated by purpose. First four
-
vers ten, Dude, the girl was talking to him about like actual hate
-
too. Oh you know understand the woman is talking to him about histe two.
-
Oh, but Jesus somehow turns every conversation. You go, what I'm
-
saying. You can talk to me about foodsalt and if I'm switched on,
-
if I'm living on purpose, and we can become a purposeful conversation if you're
-
switched on. Otherwise you will just talk about water too and satay, and
-
then life will carry on and nothing has happened. Oh you know Sadi?
-
Oh you like Sadi? What a sa da do you like? Oh?
-
Chicken? Wow? Great? You know we all have our preferences. But
-
you know it's all about the right ingredients. If you don't have the right
-
ingredience, it's just it may be sati by his fake Have you try to
-
fix something before? Yes? I have? Oh yeah, me too.
-
But there's a real good one. I'm bummed. It's really good and there's
-
only one place you can find it, and there's only one truth. There's
-
only one way. Have you tasted my Jesus Jesus conversation all centered around his
-
purpose. He's like, oh, you're talking about water. Ah, I'm
-
the water. Remember he was talking about bread. I am the bread.
-
What happens if our conversations is centered around purpose and not wasted? You know,
-
the Bible says God would judge every idol word. What do you think
-
is the Bible? Because God knows. God knows we will speak many idle,
-
useless words. God wants us to be intentional. The woman answered him,
-
I have a whole husband. Blah blah blah. You're right and saying
-
your husband Jesus prophesies, he uses gifts for purpose. Jesus obviously had to
-
give up prophecy. He didn't use it to make himself famous. He didn't
-
use it to build a bigger platform. He didn't use it to gain another
-
femal followers. No, some of us use our gifts for us, and
-
Jesus uses gifts to reach someone. You have gifts, you have gives.
-
You all have gifts. I texted someone this week and I say, how
-
can I pray for you? He said, Pastor, can I pray for
-
me busy season? Pray for me for the power to get wealth? Bro
-
all me. We're thinking, what cannot praise that you should be praygnant your
-
Holy Spirit touch you or something. Pray for the power to get wealth.
-
But hey, I realize what's wrong. That's his calling. So I said,
-
I'll pray for you to have I'll pray for you. Brother, I
-
pray you gain profits. But with purpose. I pretty God make you very
-
rich. But you you will be fill with purpose. You know what to
-
do with it. We all have gifts. Come on, some of your
-
gifts are dormanty. You're not you're not using it. Some of your gifts
-
are not meant for in the church. So you see where it's meant to
-
be used. Amen. But Jesus gives. He's here is the give of
-
prophecy, word of knowledge. He used it. His focus is sharpened by
-
his purpose. Jesus, eat my food is to do the will of God.
-
He's not saying I'm not hungry, I don't have to eat throw this
-
food away. He's not really saying that he will eat my Jesus has shown
-
me in the Bible that he eats a lot. He loves food. A
-
lot of ministries around food. So yeah, he eats, he eats,
-
Okay, but he's he's taking opportunity of the situation to say, you know
-
what my real food. You know what feeds me, what grows me,
-
what nourishes me, what makes me come alive. It's not Saturday, it's
-
not fish. Is to do God will. That's my purpose. That's what
-
he's saying. Focus, Focus, focus, fast team. I believe he's
-
able to live that kind of schedule because he's focused. He does one thing,
-
make disciples. So all my schedule is that his family is in his
-
schedule too, So don't he's not just like out there. Spoken to his
-
son Jayden. Jaden's time with his father is every Thursday morning, and they
-
all know. Focus number two is lift, lift, focused. But I
-
want to introduce something to you call disrupted, not distracted. Leave focus,
-
but be willing to be distructed, not distracted. It's not the same thing.
-
Jesus was not faced. He was focused. He knew exactly what he
-
was doing. We read this just now. They came to say, hey,
-
time to eat. He said, what eat? I I am.
-
My real food is to do God's will. Jesus knew his why, and
-
because he knew his why, it informs his what, how, Where,
-
and when I know why I'm here, So why I'm here decides what I
-
do, what I don't do, how I do it, where I do
-
it, when I do it. See, God never forgets our why,
-
but we do. God never forgets, but we do because we do.
-
He sometimes interrupts, or even sometimes often disrupts. What if God changes your
-
What if God changes your plans entirely? You want this job like it gives
-
you the other one. You want to go here, he stops you.
-
What if God changes your plan? Are you willing to be interrupted or disrupted
-
by God? Disruption is not distraction is two different things. To live.
-
Focused is to not be distracted. We know that right. To be focused
-
mean I don't get distracted by I'm supposed to study, so I'm not distracted
-
by enemy kay pop k drama mobile legends, none of that, because I'm
-
focused. To live, focus is to not be distracted, but to be
-
disrupted disrupted. It's not the same thing. To be disruptive while your focus.
-
It's a good thing. To be distracted while your focus is not a
-
good thing. Distraction is internal disturbances within ourselves. You're supposed to finish this
-
job, but then you start feeling lazy or sleepy, or you you're you're
-
revising, and then maybe you're at work trying to finish up your thing,
-
and then you overhear a gossip. WHOA, why you know she was sleeping
-
with this guy? I don't want to They're like, I just don't know
-
him. LA. That's distraction, and then you no longer are doing your
-
job. Interruption or disruption is external disturbances. It's without ourselves. COVID was
-
a disruption. It's both interruption but also disruption. We realized this disruption later
-
on the first two weeks when the government said just two weeks, we thought
-
it's just an interruption. Let me define this further. Interruption is when something
-
is stopped and then restarted without damage. Now you know why COVID is a
-
disruption, no interruption, because the words never the same. The first two
-
weeks, we hope it was interruption. Just turken down. You're watching extra
-
doesn't work for live football, but you're watching your favorite show rain interruption,
-
and then when it comes on, you continue where you stop and then you
-
carry on. That's interruption. Disruption is when something is interfered with or otherwise
-
broken or pull apart. And will not be the same as before. COVID
-
was a disruption. Our world is no longer the same. Now you work
-
from home, Now you work remotely. Now you do zoo meetings. Now
-
you the world has changed. Interruption creates tagnancy. You feel frustrated when you're
-
interrupted because you want to get back to the way things were. Sometimes that's
-
why sometimes interruption is not going. It's not good enough for good to just
-
interrupt your life. He wants to disrupt your life so that there is movement.
-
You change direction. Okay, So for example, after church, we'll
-
suppos go for dinner, we go to charge hunting. I'm on my way
-
there and someone comes comes to talk to me, you know, Kandesh come
-
and talk to me, and he interrupts me, and he says, hey,
-
I'm on my way there. When it comes to talk to me about
-
something. And then after I'm done talking, oh yeah, yeah, sure
-
you can do this or whatever, and I carry on my way to touch
-
and thing. Kanesh interrupted me. Disruption will be like this, I'm on
-
my way to judge a thing and it's definitely can say past it and ring
-
need to talk to you, and you want to talk to you okay,
-
great, what is it about? And whatever they tell me, we say,
-
you know what, we need to continue this. Let's go to Chittamo
-
and continue there because we don't want other people to hear, so we go
-
there. That's a disruption, change of direction. So sometimes God utterly disrupts
-
our plans to move us in a different direction. But if we don't recognize
-
it, we may say, we may become stagnant. So, friends,
-
are you okay? If God disrupts you, you've got changes your plan because
-
we already have this plan. We plan our breaks, we plan where we're
-
active, We plan what ministries you want to get involved in. We plan
-
who we want to talk to. We have all these plans. Many are
-
the plans in the man's heart, Bible says, but the Lord's purposes prevails.
-
Jesus was going to Galilee, and then suddenly some area happened. The
-
woman at the well happened. It happens to Jesus all the time. He's
-
on the way to Gyros's daughter to heal her. And then the woman touched
-
his hand. He was going somewhere else, and then Zaccius was on the
-
tree. Friends, do you have room in your life for that to happen,
-
or is your plan so water tight even God cannot change it. Thursday,
-
I woke at five forty five in the morning, had a plan in
-
my head as I was driving to the school. My schedule only starts at
-
one pm that day, my first appointment. I said to myself, I
-
will preach there, I will finish at eight thirty and then I will eat
-
that nasty going by if for her, and I'm gonna leave the place.
-
I'm gonna drive back home by nineteen nine forty five and sleep. I'll sleep
-
to you twelve thirty, wake up and go for my appointment at one pm.
-
While I'm driving, I said something. I see the text someone reach
-
out to me, and the faster we need to meet, we need to
-
meet. I'm not doing well. I'm like, oh, I want to
-
sleep, lah, and this guy can say I went slept. You should
-
understand what it is to not sleep. But I held the whole thing,
-
say go see him. So I texted him and said, okay, bro
-
uh, let me see so I see a night of dealer. Sure after
-
I said yes to him ninety ty he said okay, and he said I'm
-
going to go to a nap now later you call me okay. I'm like,
-
okay, okay, okay, nice, you can take a nap,
-
and then again another text, Hey, how's your day? Looking like I
-
want to meet up. I'm like, ah, I can read me after
-
p D. He's like, oh, then I cannot mean you because my
-
days like that like that, but I really really want you to meet this
-
person. This person doesn't come to come to k L all the time,
-
and he's from another country. But I really want to mean. Okay,
-
where will you be. I'll be in PJ. Okay, cool. I'm
-
so happy meeting the guy the ninety one in PJ. So I say,
-
I'll see you in PJ. So I'm there. I can meet this guy
-
at ninetyty talk to him. He tells me he's suicidal. He's always all
-
this plan how he's gonna do it. And I said, bro, please
-
don't tell you, but if you're gonna do please call me first. He
-
said, I can't promise you that, okay, but we've been in touch
-
this morning. He told me, I'm much better. I've written some some
-
message to the person that I'm having a problem with, and I feel lighter
-
now. I feel better now, I'm just like, okay, God,
-
I'm glad I was there. And then my other appointment. He guess who
-
I met talking to this pastor and I realized his past the team's mentor.
-
I didn't even notice he was Positivity's mentor. He was there when Postivity was
-
still a student deciding where to plan his church that I were not. Every
-
nation was called Eagle Point, Pasative was gonna plan in PJ and this person
-
said, no, you got to put chung. I was able to meet
-
this man and he was full of wisdom, and I'm so glad to be
-
connected with him now. Sometimes God disrupts your plan. He disrupts your plan.
-
I've got a few people in my contact list that I wonder how hard
-
I tried, they won't come to judge. You have all sorts of reasons
-
why you want to be there, but just God just wouldn't let me let
-
them go. Some of these people, I've known them since they were teenagers.
-
Today they are in their thirties. We're still in touch. Will you
-
reason anything? I don't know. I don't know because I don't go even
-
the agenda. Do I want them to come to of course, But at
-
that time, as I'm sitting there having the banana leave or coffee. Do
-
I have an agenda that he must end you must come to church? Not
-
necessary, because then that messes everything up. Because when Jesus was there with
-
his woman at the well, he didn't ask him to come to the Synegague
-
man. He didn't even ask her to change her life. He's just saying,
-
you're water. I know this water very go on. That encounter changed
-
her life. She went and told everybody I met this person. Come see
-
this man. He knows everything I want to court. You think future,
-
live present. Think future means hey, what what am I leaving behind?
-
But as you do that, live in the now. I'm with you.
-
Now you're not ready to come to church, that's okay, I'll be your
-
friend because because church is not just this right we can have judge, but
-
it's a restaurant. So I think Jesus will do that because full examples he
-
just doing this in the Bible. Well La beach lah desert, la by
-
the lake, law in the boat ler in a strong live focused, but
-
allow God to disrupt your plans. See now that I say this, and
-
now that you have to you have to think about it. Maybe the next
-
time someone texts you you think more right now, because you should. You
-
should, You could save a life you give to the future. You live
-
in the now. Give means you you're sewing. You're sewing to the future.
-
Your actions, your choices, your investments are so into the future.
-
But you live in the now. God is speaking now, Jesus says,
-
in my two sakes, don't worry tomorrow. Worry about yourself right just today,
-
be goes on trouble. So I paraphrases summarize. Basically, he's saying
-
that living now thing future, but live now, living in our global provide.
-
Amen. So so the third point is live and live a legacy.
-
That's how we should live. We should live thinking. Okay, the person
-
that comes after me, what is the path that has prepared for him?
-
What example, what testimony have I left him? Look at it verse here.
-
So the woman left her water jar and went away into the town and
-
said to the people, come see a man who told me all that ever
-
they can, this be the Christ. They went out of the town and
-
were coming to him, and then they themselves came a paraphrasia you can read
-
this on your own, and they say, now we believe because we've experienced
-
God for ourselves. So basically this is live a let's see whatever Jesus did.
-
He deposited in the woman. The woman carried that into the city and
-
told everybody and in the city now comes and they experience God himself, and
-
then the whole nation changes, and then the world. Because today we're telling
-
this story in Malaysia to this audience who's listening and being inspired by the lesson
-
from this woman at the world. So I think we need to imagine our
-
life having this impact. So what am I carrying? And how can I
-
deposit into the grab driver or the padmenting record maker or he came saying,
-
So ask yourself this question, what will your future look like if you're continue
-
living the way you live right now? If you don't change anything, you
-
don't let God disrupt any of your plans or interrupt any of your plans.
-
You just live the way you live right now. Oh, your future look
-
like something you think about. So build today for tomorrow, make disciples.
-
Makes His suppose does not have to be complicated. You do have to have
-
to have the message. This week I texted like fifty people past the team
-
does fifty a day but he has a thousand member chess lah I didn't have.
-
I mean some of you receive my text. So you know what I
-
said, nothing nothing magical. By mean what I said, I said,
-
how can I serve you this week? How can I pray for you this
-
week? So one of the one of one of them was a student and
-
said struggling with his studies. And I was able to connect and say,
-
wow, great timing. We're having studied group is SAT today. Would you
-
come? He came, and we have just the right people to help him
-
with this the subject is struggling with. He started with, how can I
-
pray for you this week? Hey? You need byle school to do this?
-
A you can do here. If we are all the day, we
-
all keep the mainting mainting. We all live on purpose, we all live
-
on mission. We really can change the world and save the world together.
-
Amen. We don't to you know, at least in these church we don't
-
make this uppiship like some complicated nineteen point five different steps and some I don't
-
know. You have to take nineteen courses and then you graduate and then then
-
you you know, then you start your journey in ah. I mean,
-
of course we have to learn something, and there's some skills and all stuff
-
like that, but just look look at the life of Jesus and say,
-
well, how did he do it? Aymen, thank you for listening to
