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

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

  3. I do things that bother a servant of God. All right,

  4. three things that bother more than anything else. Okay, so

  5. number one it has to do with family. When our

  6. family is bothered, we are bothered. When our marriage is bothered,

  7. we are bothered. When our wife is not so happy,

  8. we become not so happy. Nothing bothers the husband more

  9. than what bothers the wife. It's very true, and it

  10. will affect ministry. We will affect everything else, you know.

  11. So we want healthy marriages. We want healthy husbands and

  12. health healthy wives. We want healthy children. Don't because what

  13. bothers our children will bother us. It includes also the

  14. salvation of our save ones. It might still bother us

  15. that our children are not yet say, it might still

  16. really really bother us like nothing else. You know that

  17. our grown up children are not in church. You know,

  18. although we are in church, but our grown up children

  19. are not serving the Lord.

  20. It might bother us. Maybe our dads and moms are

  21. not in the Lord.

  22. Uh. It bothered me for twenty years when I was

  23. doing all that I was doing for the Lord and

  24. my stepmother wasn't in the Lord.

  25. My sister wasn't in the Lord. Her son, you know,

  26. wasn't in the Lord.

  27. And you know, sometimes we can still go on, we

  28. can still survive, but not really fully.

  29. You can't enter fifth year or not.

  30. It's always like, you know, the enemy is always like hey, look,

  31. we say everybody else.

  32. You know, the enemy just really knows how to get

  33. to us.

  34. So it bothers us, It really bothers us. Yeah.

  35. The second one is second one is finances. Finances for

  36. those are your preachers here? You you you, I think

  37. you know that your pass is going to go with

  38. three f's.

  39. Yeah, finances.

  40. We can serve the Lord. We can give our lives

  41. to Jesus.

  42. But if you can't put food on our table for

  43. our family, Boy does it hurt us if you go

  44. shopping with our wife and we can't afford the shoe

  45. that she likes?

  46. Oh?

  47. Boy?

  48. Does he make us small so much that we go like,

  49. I just don't do this anymore?

  50. A lot? Just can I just you know, go out

  51. and work.

  52. You know, I told you before when I was a

  53. young pastor young preacher, Uh, no, money is really poor.

  54. And and one day we went to a meeting. We

  55. were invited, and the prophet caught us both up and

  56. then actually it was prophesy on me. There's all these

  57. wonderful things. Are you God's going to use you or that?

  58. And I wasn't crying th I was just my hands

  59. will lifted up. Oh thank you Jesus, you know, do

  60. whatever you want to do with me. Then he puts

  61. his hand on Perssendra and he starts to prophesy how

  62. were And then he said to her, and one day

  63. you will be able to afford the shoes that you

  64. really want.

  65. I'm telling you, I am telling you it is no job.

  66. There is no job.

  67. My wife remembers this. And when he said that, oh

  68. my wife, I cried because the husband just wants to

  69. give his wife the best. I'm telling you, if you

  70. really love your wife, but you you want the world

  71. for them. I'm telling you, good husbands are like that one.

  72. And the reason why I say this is because.

  73. I know all of you are good huswords in his

  74. room and if you affects your wife affects you and

  75. you and you're thinking every day, how can you make

  76. a little bit more?

  77. And that's therefore the pressure is on the husband.

  78. But the wife doesn't always know that pressure because she

  79. didn't know that buying her favorite show is so meaningful.

  80. It means a lot to the husband to buy her

  81. his wife the favorite means a lot. You can take

  82. care of your wife. You feel like I can win

  83. the world. Seriously, I'm telling you so I know what

  84. the men he are going through. If you're going through

  85. family stuff, financial stuff, I know what you guys are carrying. Men,

  86. I know what you're carrying, and women, I also know

  87. what you because you also don want to tell your

  88. husband I want that shoe. It's almost like the crazy

  89. rich agent when the lady comes in with a two

  90. billion diamond who hid hide it, hide it because she

  91. known't her husband to feel small.

  92. So the wife is also doing her part.

  93. So a lot of wife there are hiding stuff in

  94. your heart because you want to make your husband feel

  95. like he is a provider protector? Are you aw stealing me?

  96. I fully understand it, So thank you for the price

  97. you're paying. The Lord will reward you. I can't reward

  98. you the way the Lord can, but he can and

  99. he will. He's no man's debtor. He's a good god.

  100. He's a faithful God, and he's been so good to

  101. my wife. And I give me a house I couldn't have,

  102. forgive me a car.

  103. I couldn't forgive me everything.

  104. I can't afford it, But God can afford it.

  105. Amen, God can afford it.

  106. Keep your eyes on Jesus, the author and the finisher

  107. of your faith.

  108. Amen.

  109. He didn't give up his life to make us lose

  110. us give up his life to make us champions.

  111. Amen. And then, of course number three is just fitness

  112. health help.

  113. Nothing bothers us like bad health. When I couldn't walk

  114. my you know, my ankle was damaged. Can't do very

  115. much for the Lord you you feel so useless, hard

  116. to serve God, you know, with a body in pain

  117. kind of wake up in the morning, you know.

  118. Ah.

  119. But yet there are so many scriptures that promises us health,

  120. and we must claim them. So those those scriptures that

  121. come into my mind is trust in the Law with

  122. all your heart, leo on your own, understanding all your

  123. ways of acknowledge him, and he will direct your path.

  124. The other scripture that comes with my mind, Jesus says,

  125. do not worry but what you will eat, what you

  126. will wear. The people without faith, they worry. But God

  127. knows that you need it, even before we ask.

  128. He knows.

  129. But seek first, come out, Seek first the Kingdom of

  130. God and his righteousness, and all.

  131. These things shall be added. All these things come on.

  132. Let's claim it, let's believe it.

  133. All these things shall be added on to us.
