  1. You're listening to a message to go from axt church.

  2. We hope this message will light up your tea.

  3. He says, give up the money that is coming to

  4. you as a support from the from the rich man.

  5. He must be thinking, I'm crazy if you want to

  6. give up to a thousand egits. And how much do

  7. we need every fifteen thousand? How much I just give

  8. up truck when we depend on the Lord, he begins

  9. to move. When the Exchis was three hundred people and

  10. for one year there were no souls, and I cried

  11. out to the Lord. I said, Lord, that means one

  12. year there are people who are dying and going to

  13. a crisis eternity. How could this be? How could this be?

  14. So Exchians would would grow three hundred and three then

  15. go down back down to twenty ninety six? I said, Lord,

  16. cannot be. It cannot be one year no souls. You know, see,

  17. I mean some of you will listen there and feel like, oh,

  18. you know as I wish you didn't say that, because

  19. we also not there. And no, it's all for condemnations

  20. for a challenge you, you and I got shouldn't be comfortable.

  21. That's what I'm saying. Just don't just don't be comfortable,

  22. don't allow yourself to go. It's okay, fine, the Lord

  23. will allow one year without souls. No no, no, the

  24. white thing like that. But when I cried out the Lord,

  25. the Lord says to me. The Lord says to me,

  26. you really want this caret go? You know I want this,

  27. you know, one year and and and the Lad says, okay,

  28. I'll tell you what to do. You want to tell

  29. you what to do? I said, yeah, sure, Lord please,

  30. he says, give up the money that is coming to

  31. you as a support from the from the rich Man.

  32. I said, oh Lord, what strategy is that? What God

  33. strategies is that? And uh uh, he said, would you

  34. do it? Because sometimes our dependency is not on the

  35. lot anymore, and so the Lord wants us to continue

  36. to when we do, when we depend on the Lord,

  37. he begins to move. So I remember I told you

  38. the storry, right, I wrote to the rich man. Took

  39. me two weeks to write. Now, actually, no to me,

  40. two days to write, two weeks to send, because once

  41. you send and not turning back. So the rich Man

  42. caught me back, scolded me on the phone for half

  43. an hour. You know you think only Got really speak

  44. to you. You think only God to speaks to you?

  45. Are I said no. My mind was like, if God

  46. spoke to you not to stop giving, please obey right,

  47. So so I obey. He says, stop you obey not

  48. shtop Hallodjah still received, you know, grew up. I said.

  49. Everybody just hear from the Lord, so he said, He said,

  50. I said, uh that though, sorry, I heard from God.

  51. He must be thinking I'm crazy to want to give

  52. up twelve thousands ring it, twelve thousands ring it every month?

  53. You think I'm crazy. It's God, So I said, God

  54. told me. He said, God told you what we'll see.

  55. We'll see. He put out the phone. He thought, I'll

  56. come back begging him after three months. I cried. No.

  57. I cried because I like nout trembling right. And Kaya

  58. came to my room and said, past, how you you you?

  59. You did it? I said, I did it. He cried,

  60. He cried, you never see k cry. He cried, because

  61. he's accounted. And how much do we need every month?

  62. Fifteen thousand ring it? How much did I just give up?

  63. Twelve right? The same man itself, the Lord came through

  64. some of our young adults. Began to be blessed, got

  65. their bonus member bonus. Do you understand now when the

  66. pastor obeys, the people get blessed, and so can remember

  67. the first man he comes into my room, He says, Pastor,

  68. I remember it like it was just day past. There's

  69. thirteen thousand ringgit more in the offering back this month

  70. thirteen thousand. God, don't just give you twelvel he has

  71. one more thousand. Then the next month twenty six thousand.

  72. I'm thinking where in the world's money from? So from

  73. our tears became joiler, right, right, but we're sittinking where

  74. is it coming from? So the summary of the story is,

  75. in just six months we grew by another three hundred people.

  76. Three hundred people, so this was the fastest church growth

  77. I've ever experienced. That just by obedience. So I'm not

  78. asking you to read church planting or church growth book

  79. because the only principle I know but just grow that

  80. is obedience, just plain obedience. And you know, all all

  81. of us in this room, you know what will be

  82. the greatest challenge for all of us. Obedience constantly. No

  83. matter how you grow and how you get good, you

  84. will constantly be challenged by obedience. It will always be

  85. the principle of obedience that you will be faced with

  86. again and again and again and again and again, and

  87. especially when times are good. When times are bad, you know,

  88. and you have a lot of needs in your life.

  89. Easy to obey, God, please come through you. Obey. How

  90. about when are good where you steal? Obey? It is

  91. always going to be until I until I'm older seventy

  92. seven or eighty seven or what reserve if God will

  93. keep me that longer. I just believe in in one

  94. challenge that there will be the above. All other challenges

  95. will cannot change. Still, obey the voice of the Lord.

  96. Fastest church growth ever in x double in six months,

  97. three hundred because it is God who adds daily to

  98. the church, not of being saved. It is not your strategy. Yeah,

  99. it is not anything else but God who adds daily everybody. Okay,

  100. We hope.
