You're listening to a message to go from acts church.
-
We hope this message will light up your day.
-
I do things that bother a servant of God. All right,
-
three things that bother more than anything else. Okay, so
-
number one it has to do with family. When our
-
family is bothered, we are bothered. When our marriage is bothered,
-
we are bothered. When our wife is not so happy,
-
we become not so happy. Nothing bothers the husband more
-
than what bothers the wife. It's very true, and it
-
will affect ministry. We will affect everything else, you know.
-
So we want healthy marriages. We want healthy husbands and
-
health healthy wives. We want healthy children. Don't because what
-
bothers our children will bother us. It includes also the
-
salvation of our save ones. It might still bother us
-
that our children are not yet say, it might still
-
really really bother us like nothing else. You know that
-
our grown up children are not in church. You know,
-
although we are in church, but our grown up children
-
are not serving the Lord.
-
It might bother us. Maybe our dads and moms are
-
not in the Lord.
-
Uh. It bothered me for twenty years when I was
-
doing all that I was doing for the Lord and
-
my stepmother wasn't in the Lord.
-
My sister wasn't in the Lord. Her son, you know,
-
wasn't in the Lord.
-
And you know, sometimes we can still go on, we
-
can still survive, but not really fully.
-
You can't enter fifth year or not.
-
It's always like, you know, the enemy is always like hey, look,
-
we say everybody else.
-
You know, the enemy just really knows how to get
-
to us.
-
So it bothers us, It really bothers us. Yeah.
-
The second one is second one is finances. Finances for
-
those are your preachers here? You you you, I think
-
you know that your pass is going to go with
-
three f's.
-
Yeah, finances.
-
We can serve the Lord. We can give our lives
-
to Jesus.
-
But if you can't put food on our table for
-
our family, Boy does it hurt us if you go
-
shopping with our wife and we can't afford the shoe
-
that she likes?
-
Oh?
-
Boy?
-
Does he make us small so much that we go like,
-
I just don't do this anymore?
-
A lot? Just can I just you know, go out
-
and work.
-
You know, I told you before when I was a
-
young pastor young preacher, Uh, no, money is really poor.
-
And and one day we went to a meeting. We
-
were invited, and the prophet caught us both up and
-
then actually it was prophesy on me. There's all these
-
wonderful things. Are you God's going to use you or that?
-
And I wasn't crying th I was just my hands
-
will lifted up. Oh thank you Jesus, you know, do
-
whatever you want to do with me. Then he puts
-
his hand on Perssendra and he starts to prophesy how
-
were And then he said to her, and one day
-
you will be able to afford the shoes that you
-
really want.
-
I'm telling you, I am telling you it is no job.
-
There is no job.
-
My wife remembers this. And when he said that, oh
-
my wife, I cried because the husband just wants to
-
give his wife the best. I'm telling you, if you
-
really love your wife, but you you want the world
-
for them. I'm telling you, good husbands are like that one.
-
And the reason why I say this is because.
-
I know all of you are good huswords in his
-
room and if you affects your wife affects you and
-
you and you're thinking every day, how can you make
-
a little bit more?
-
And that's therefore the pressure is on the husband.
-
But the wife doesn't always know that pressure because she
-
didn't know that buying her favorite show is so meaningful.
-
It means a lot to the husband to buy her
-
his wife the favorite means a lot. You can take
-
care of your wife. You feel like I can win
-
the world. Seriously, I'm telling you so I know what
-
the men he are going through. If you're going through
-
family stuff, financial stuff, I know what you guys are carrying. Men,
-
I know what you're carrying, and women, I also know
-
what you because you also don want to tell your
-
husband I want that shoe. It's almost like the crazy
-
rich agent when the lady comes in with a two
-
billion diamond who hid hide it, hide it because she
-
known't her husband to feel small.
-
So the wife is also doing her part.
-
So a lot of wife there are hiding stuff in
-
your heart because you want to make your husband feel
-
like he is a provider protector? Are you aw stealing me?
-
I fully understand it, So thank you for the price
-
you're paying. The Lord will reward you. I can't reward
-
you the way the Lord can, but he can and
-
he will. He's no man's debtor. He's a good god.
-
He's a faithful God, and he's been so good to
-
my wife. And I give me a house I couldn't have,
-
forgive me a car.
-
I couldn't forgive me everything.
-
I can't afford it, But God can afford it.
-
Amen, God can afford it.
-
Keep your eyes on Jesus, the author and the finisher
-
of your faith.
-
Amen.
-
He didn't give up his life to make us lose
-
us give up his life to make us champions.
-
Amen. And then, of course number three is just fitness
-
health help.
-
Nothing bothers us like bad health. When I couldn't walk
-
my you know, my ankle was damaged. Can't do very
-
much for the Lord you you feel so useless, hard
-
to serve God, you know, with a body in pain
-
kind of wake up in the morning, you know.
-
Ah.
-
But yet there are so many scriptures that promises us health,
-
and we must claim them. So those those scriptures that
-
come into my mind is trust in the Law with
-
all your heart, leo on your own, understanding all your
-
ways of acknowledge him, and he will direct your path.
-
The other scripture that comes with my mind, Jesus says,
-
do not worry but what you will eat, what you
-
will wear. The people without faith, they worry. But God
-
knows that you need it, even before we ask.
-
He knows.
-
But seek first, come out, Seek first the Kingdom of
-
God and his righteousness, and all.
-
These things shall be added. All these things come on.
-
Let's claim it, let's believe it.
-
All these things shall be added on to us.
-
