We hope this message will light up your tea.
-
Did I not tell you? If you believe, you will
-
see the glory of God? Even though I.
-
Don't know whether my boss will send me overseas or not,
-
I don't know whether at that time I will go oversely.
-
I don't know.
-
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know. But
-
one thing I know, I must serve the house of God.
-
The lawd said to me, Kenneth, I want to tell
-
you right now, and you better believe it and believe
-
achieve nothing.
-
Let's look at the next lighter.
-
If you would believe, If you would believe, Martha, you
-
will see the glory of God.
-
What do you think the real stone is.
-
Ladies and gentlemen, She said, I cannot remove the stone
-
because by now there's a stench, because the body has
-
been dead for come on four days.
-
But that's just an excuse. Can I say to us
-
right now that.
-
Many of us are just one step away from a miracle,
-
But because we are living an excuse, it doesn't happen.
-
Is the stone really? The stench? Is the stone in
-
your life and mine? Really?
-
The excuse.
-
You don't understand my boss, he's quite cruel. Is your
-
stone really your boss? You don't know my husband, he's
-
actually quite violent. Is the stone really your husband? You
-
don't know my wife, she's actually quite unreasonable. Is the
-
wife the stone? You don't know my kids, you haven't
-
met them. They are a terror? Is the kids really stone?
-
You don't know? Bustard, I am sick. I'm not you know,
-
I'm not able to breathe well, so I can't climb
-
up the steps here in the legacy.
-
Is it really the steps?
-
Is it really eight fifteen that you can't come to
-
because so early? Is it really ten forty five? Is
-
it really because of the patrol going hide and you
-
can't drive? Because tell me the truth. You would pay
-
any price if you really believed in it. If you
-
really believed in it, you would pay any price.
-
Come on, come on, let's be honest.
-
If you really want it, need it, it doesn't become
-
an excuse anymore. You would pay for that shoe. You
-
will pay for their car. You will pay for the house,
-
you will pay for their holiday, You will pay for
-
that fine, you will pay the interest, You will go
-
the second mile for your favorite restaurant. How far is
-
this restaurant? One and a half hours? But I love
-
the bakuta there. The baku day is made in heaven,
-
and in heaven I know that I won't be eating
-
it anymore so.
-
Because Jesus doesn't Eatopnom's kidding.
-
I'm kidding. We eat manna in heaven. You know Mana,
-
I know Manna to Mana. You will pay any price.
-
Every mother here. You love your son, you pay the price.
-
You love your daughter, You pay the price. You love
-
your wife. You know she really likes that. You'll pay
-
the price. You save up for it. We only make
-
excuses when we stop believing. Come on, so what's the
-
real stone in Master's life? What's the real stone? What's
-
the stone that needs to be rolled away?
-
Unbelief?
-
And he said, did nine can not tell you? If
-
you believe, you will see the glory of God. Can
-
I speak this to all of your lives? I love you,
-
I love God's Church, and I want you to prosper.
-
Everyone in this room, I really want you to prosper.
-
I really want you to do very well. Believe me, Okay,
-
I didn't start this church out so that all of
-
us can fail.
-
By the grace of.
-
God, this church was started so that you can be
-
blessed with abundant life. I want you to succeed. I
-
want you to do well. If I can look into
-
all of your eyes, I will tell you that I
-
want you to do well. I want you to break through.
-
I want you to have new testimonies. But it's going
-
to take believing. John twenty twenty seven, twenty nine. Reach
-
your finger here and look at my hands. And reach
-
your hand here and put it into my side. Do
-
not come on be unbelieving. These are the words of
-
Jesus himself, but believing. And Thomas answered and said to him,
-
my Lord, and oh my God. Jesus said to him, Thomas,
-
because you have seen me, you have believed. Come on,
-
Blessed are those who have not seen and yet believed,
-
Ladies and gentlemen, brothers and sisters. It takes believing to
-
build a great church. It takes believing to build a
-
good marriage. It takes believing to build a strong company.
-
Those of you who are bosses or your own company
-
are when your staff stop believing that you know on
-
of course, the excuse stuff, why.
-
You came late, why you go back slowly. Why you
-
ever finished your work? Why you didn't do it? I
-
told you. Excuse us, excuse us, excuse us.
-
The real deal is they don't believe as much as
-
they did when you first gave them the job. Of course, sadly,
-
maybe they never believed and they wanted the job because
-
they needed the pay. Listen, ladies and gentlemen, we cannot
-
build anything great, not even a great country, if you
-
don't believe with all your heart. Blessed are those means?
-
You means me? We are blessed when we have not
-
yet seen, but we believe. Okay, let me give you
-
three words very quickly. Unbelieve achieves nothing. The Lord told
-
me this many years ago when ex Church was still
-
young actually is twenty six years old, by the way,
-
and when Exius was one.
-
Year old, two year old.
-
The Lord said to me, Kenneth, I want to tell
-
you right now, and you better believe it. Unbelieve achieved nothing.
-
I actually came out with a design you a n
-
and I put it into a T shirt and I
-
sold it to myself because the time your church was
-
very small. Unbelieve achieves nothing. Tell me that you have
-
achieved something very amazing. Through unbelief, and I'll stop the message.
-
Now tell me that.
-
You have built a great testimony by not believing at all.
-
Let's just throw my notes. Now tell me that you
-
build a great family, a great house, a great company
-
by half hearted belief, and I say, let's go home now.
-
Then why do you keep something so useless and valueless,
-
caught unbelief in your system when he achieves nothing? Why
-
still keep it in your heart? Why is he keeping
-
in your storage in your brain?
-
It's useless? Check it out.
-
If you want to be healer, believe, don't come out
-
to the author half believing you will not receive anything.
-
Don't turn to each other and pray for each.
-
Other, half believing maybe God, maybe maybe maybe he loves me,
-
maybe he doesn't. This is not Christianity. Christianity is believe
-
with all your heart. That's why God always wants all.
-
He says, love the Lord your God with He always
-
wants all, because you cannot give all without believing.
-
Everybody.
-
Okay, very important for we walk by face, not by side.
-
Side is when you calcolate, do mathematics in your mind. Kennah, Kennah,
-
I spoke to one brother just recently I'm discipling him.
-
He asked me, past, can you please disciple me?
-
So I said, okay.
-
So if somebody asked me to disciple them, you know
-
that it becomes my commitment and I will be there.
-
And so I'm discipling this guy. And he tells me
-
reasons why he hasn't served in church even though he's
-
been in that church for three years.
-
Excuse us, excuse us, excuse us. So I prayed before
-
I went to see him. I said, Lord, what word
-
do you have for this man today? And Lord gave
-
me the word.
-
I went and I said, brother, the Lord told me,
-
you'll tell you why after three years you're still not
-
serving in his house. And then he gave me about
-
three excuses. He has to do mainly with his work.
-
He has a very good job. Very good job pays
-
in the tens of thousands. But excuse, excuse, excuse. I said, brother,
-
God loves you, you know that, right. And I also said,
-
I love you, you know that right. I'm gonna say something
-
to you. All your excuses is by sight, because I
-
can see you see, I can see my schedule like this.
-
Therefore I can see I cannot I can see that
-
maybe my boss needs me to play golf on Sunday,
-
So therefore I don't think I can say yes to
-
Albert when he calls me to worship leave. I can
-
see that my children might cry at the time that
-
I go for worship practice, so therefore I can't go
-
for words.
-
I can see that my wife might get I.
-
Can see, you know, you calculate with our minds. We
-
are going by side. I can see that maybe there
-
is a long weekend and I won't be around you.
-
See you see how far I can see maybe it's
-
a long weekend. Who told you is the long weekend?
-
But I can see. Do you know how when you
-
have excuses, you can see a lot of things on
-
there are not there. I can see that maybe my
-
children will be sick three months from now. Hello, I
-
can see that maybe maybe I can't see you're calculating.
-
But the Bible says, don't live by side, live by faith,
-
where even if you can't see.
-
You still believe.
-
So then he said to me, pastor, actually the Lord
-
has been speaking to me for months, but now today
-
you have come to confirm it. I said, you know, angry, mere, better,
-
don't be angry in here. I didn't become your pastor.
-
To me, you're angry on I became your pastor so
-
that I can disciple you in the way of the
-
Lord and see you prosper. So he turned to me
-
and said, the pastor today your confirmation. I must act
-
on it. Even though I don't know whether my boss
-
will send me overseas or not. I don't know whether
-
at that time I will go oversea.
-
I don't know.
-
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know. But
-
one thing I know, I must serve the house of God.
-
You know, when I left the discipleship meeting her, he
-
took the phone and he called his pastor, all right,
-
his local pastor, and said, I don't know what will happen,
-
but I'm signing up now. He signed up by faith.
-
And then you watch and see God open doors for him. Watch,
-
because God is no man's debtor.
-
He will move on your behalf.
-
But God doesn't move by sight, He moves by faith.
-
Without faith, is it impossible, It's impossible to please God.
-
So let me move on. Believing is powerful. Somebody say, amen, oh, yes,
-
it's very powerful. I've never seen a miracle done in
-
the Bible without believing water turn into wine. Not only
-
the mother had to believe. Hey, do whatever he tells you,
-
mother said. The mother said, do whatever he tells you.
-
So Mary believed. The very people that Paul what into
-
the sixth jars also had to believe, even.
-
Though they believe blindly, but they believe.
-
And then Jesus scooped out that water turn into wine
-
and is the best wine. I want to confess, declare
-
and prophesy on you that your best wine is before you.
-
If you believe, you say amen, say I receive it. Lord,
-
your best life, your best wine, your best contract, your
-
best pay, your best bonus, your best promotion. Come on,
-
just fill those water pots with water. What does water
-
mean In the Bible, it speaks about the word. So
-
fill your hearts and your lives with the Word of God.
-
Because faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word
-
Romans ten seventeen. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by
-
let the water pots. All of us are jazz of clay.
-
So let the water pots we fill with the water,
-
and then let God move. So who's supposed to roll
-
away the stone? You and I? And then you let
-
God do the miracle. Don't worry about the miracle first.
-
Do your part first, and your part in my part
-
is not to wait for God to roll away the stone,
-
but to roll it away. He said to Martha, take
-
away the stone, Martha, he says to Kenneth, take away
-
the stone, Canneth, the stone of unbelief. Believing makes the
-
impossible possible.
-
