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

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

  3. Because he loves you, you want to love him back

  4. sacrificially as well, because what is love sacrificial giving? So

  5. if you want the devil to leave you, leave your body,

  6. leave your family, leave your home, leave your business, introduce

  7. the love of God. Now you are more than a conqueror,

  8. because you're.

  9. A conqueror who is conquering by God's love. We love

  10. him because he first loved us.

  11. There is no way you and I are going to

  12. be able to love God the way he wants to

  13. be loved until and unless we know his love. Were

  14. okay on the first of twenty twenty six, I want

  15. you to know nothing else matters, nothing more important than

  16. knowing God loves you and loving him in return.

  17. Here we go again.

  18. We love him First John four nineteen, First John four nineteen.

  19. We love him because he first loved us. Let's move

  20. on to why this is important? Why else is this important?

  21. Matthew seven eleven. Matthew seven eleven says, if you, then,

  22. being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children,

  23. how much more? Somebody say, how much more. That's exactly

  24. what it means. How much more? If you can do

  25. this with this much, then how much more when you

  26. have more? Someone said to me, well, what's you know?

  27. Often you like to treat people for meals? So the

  28. the phrase that uses you treat people like that when

  29. you don't have a salary?

  30. What more? If you do so? The how much more

  31. is exactly like that.

  32. If you as earthly patterns, evil in your heart, cruel

  33. in your mind, can give good gives to the people

  34. you love and who do you love? Your children? Parents

  35. love their children with all their hearts. They love their children.

  36. They will do anything for their children. And then the

  37. word of God, Jesus himself, says, how much more will

  38. your father who's in heaven give good things to those

  39. who ask him? So?

  40. Do you know where the good.

  41. Things of twenty threety six will come from?

  42. The father who loves you?

  43. The good gifts isn't going to come because you can

  44. have longer quiet time.

  45. You have longer quiet time. It's good.

  46. Please go ahead and do it. But it's not because

  47. of that, amen. It's not because you put more in

  48. the offering back. It's not because you serve more dream teams.

  49. It's not because you go for more missions. All this

  50. is good and you should. In fact, it should be

  51. a response to his love. Because he loves you, you

  52. want to love him bad sacrificially as well, because what

  53. is love sacrificial giving? If God can do it to us,

  54. we want to do it to him. I know that

  55. many of you in this room have paid a sacrifice

  56. just to be here, but because you love him, nor

  57. because your leader told you, nor because your leadership says

  58. stay and come February. I thought I was going to

  59. be commissioned. No, your attendance, look at your attendance. No, no, no, listen.

  60. Man works differently, you know, on the face of the earth.

  61. But God he gives good things. Because He is a

  62. good God. He cannot but give good gifts. So this

  63. year I'm believing for everyone here in his room to

  64. receive good things. Somebody say amen, good health, somebody say

  65. your man, good wealth, somebody say amen, good jobs, Amen,

  66. good results, All things good because God is good.

  67. This year twenty threety six, I declare good.

  68. Things, happy New year, because God is good. Let me

  69. just ask you right now to just put your hand

  70. on your heart. Maybe and for some of you. Maybe

  71. you can put your hand on the areas of your

  72. body that you need healing. And I just want to

  73. lead you in a prayer. Lord, I commit this need,

  74. whatever the need is, Lord, I commit this problem. Yeah,

  75. lay your hand on that problem.

  76. Lord. I commit this pain that I'm feeling right now

  77. in my body. Lord. I commit this sickness that I

  78. have in my body. Lord.

  79. I commit this fear that I have in my heart. Lord,

  80. I commit this worry that I have in my mind

  81. to your love. I commit this issue to your love.

  82. And I know that because you love me, I will

  83. receive good things. I receive it right now in the

  84. mighty name of Jesus.

  85. Amen.

  86. You know, many many years ago, I heard a preacher

  87. say this, and I remembered and remembered it for maybe

  88. three decades now. The devil doesn't understand, nor can he

  89. stand under.

  90. Love, because the devil doesn't work on love.

  91. The devil works on hatred, He works on unforgiveness, he

  92. works on bitterness, He works on stuff that is not

  93. motivated by love. So this man said that thirty years

  94. ago or more, and I took that home, realizing that

  95. if the devil cannot understand nor stand under love, shakes

  96. when love is near, trembles and flees, because listen, God

  97. is love. So where there is love, God is there.

  98. So the devil cannot take it. He is very uncomfortable

  99. where love is. Do you understand? Is so what I

  100. just did for you and with you is you commit

  101. whatever it is that the devil true at you, whatever

  102. it is that the devil is trying to bring you

  103. down with and problems and pain and sickness, and you

  104. commit all that to God's love and see those chains break.

  105. Just this year, right, guys, bring yourself under the shower

  106. of God's love. Just just just learn to do this

  107. right in your quiet time. You know, if you forget

  108. anything else, just remember his love and bring yourself under

  109. that love, all right, And because if you don't, then

  110. sometimes you might even be fearful but also frustrated.

  111. Why is it taking so long? Right? And you know

  112. what happened.

  113. You begin to doubt God's love, and the enemy wants

  114. you doubt God's love because when you doubt God's love,

  115. you also doubt God's.

  116. Power because his power is in his love. Everybody.

  117. Okay, When I was recovering in the early stages of

  118. my foot recovery. My heel bone was healing. I told

  119. you one day I think I spoke it. I spoke

  120. the message on a video. That's how you have watched it.

  121. I said.

  122. It was a tough moment for me because only was

  123. my left foot and left leg weakened and in pain,

  124. but my right leg overcompensated, you know this. And so

  125. one day I fell to the ground and I couldn't

  126. get up. And for a fully grown man to not

  127. be able to push himself up is hard. I mean,

  128. even babies can push themselves up, but as a man,

  129. I couldn't. And the devil began to whisper to me

  130. and said, Kenneth Chin, you want to serve God some more?

  131. Look at what he's done to you. Are you sure

  132. you want to serve God. Look he can't even get up.

  133. You know.

  134. And the devil just bombarded me, and I began to cry.

  135. I don't cry easily. And maybe some of you in

  136. this room, you know, maybe you have just gone through

  137. about of tears.

  138. Maybe just this morning you are in tears.

  139. Maybe you know after this service you might find yourself

  140. in tears again. But I pray that you will not

  141. be tears of despair, but tears of understanding that God

  142. is love and the Bible says nothing can separate us

  143. from His love.

  144. Nothing right. And you know what God did. He did

  145. this to me.

  146. It took me about ten fifteen minutes before I could

  147. even get up.

  148. From the floor.

  149. But you know how God means it to me, he says,

  150. as the devil was bombarding me with his lies, God said, Kenneth,

  151. I knew it was his voice. I said, yes, Lord, Kenneth,

  152. do you still believe while you're not able to pick

  153. yourself up?

  154. Do you still believe that I love you?

  155. In the midst of all your pain, in the midst

  156. of all your trouble, in the midst of all your

  157. ones and lack and need and sickness and discomforts, do

  158. you still believe that God loves you? And I answered,

  159. I said, Lord, I believe. As soon as I said

  160. I believe, the devil stopped speaking because the devil had

  161. to be in the environment of love.

  162. He can't stand it. So if you want your the devil.

  163. To leave you, leave your body, leave your family, leave

  164. your home, leave your business, introduce the love of God,

  165. Preach the love of God, show the love of God.

  166. Remember the love of God. Are you asking with me?

  167. Very very important? Because the devil can't stand it, His

  168. demons can't stand it, because they can't understand it. You

  169. know how this is right? A lot of us fear

  170. what we can understand. Now, so that is the devil.

  171. He doesn't understand love.

  172. Amen. So no matter what you're going through, I want

  173. to say.

  174. To you again, Jesus loves you. God is love, and

  175. where he is there is freedom, there is liberty Romans eight.

  176. That is, Yet in all these things we are more

  177. than conquerors through Him who loved us. Do you know

  178. why you are a conqueror? And why I am a conqueror?

  179. Because of God's love? Romans eight thirty seven. Read to

  180. you again. Yet in all these things we are more

  181. than somebody say, more than Congress through Him who loved us. You,

  182. and I am repeating myself, now, are Congress, No, not

  183. just Congress, more than Congress?

  184. Why? Through Him who loved us? Now?

  185. Why more than? Because I think I can settle for

  186. a conqueror? Why more then?

  187. Another translation is.

  188. Victorious overcomer, all right, overcome more than overcomer?

  189. Why more then?

  190. Because you can be a conqueror without being loved. Now

  191. you are more than a conqueror because you're a conqueror

  192. who is conquering by God's love. That's why there are

  193. a lot of conquerors in this world. There are a

  194. lot of conquerors in this world. Some people might say, you,

  195. Lord Master is a conqueror. So now he's the richest

  196. man on earth. So say, yeah, I'm a conqueror, But

  197. does he know the love of God. The richest people

  198. in the world, the most powerful men in the world,

  199. can be conquerors.

  200. But it is the love that makes us more than.

  201. Because there are days where we can't conquer by our

  202. own strength. There are days where we have won some battles,

  203. but this one is the hardest.

  204. And it is not going to be.

  205. Your degree or your postgraduate or anything like that that

  206. will get you through this one.

  207. You know what will get you through this one.

  208. The love of God, knowing that He has loved us.

  209. The Bible says in Romans eight thirty five eight thirty nine,

  210. Who shall separate us from the Love of Christ shall

  211. tribulation or distress, or persecution, or famine or nakedness or.

  212. Peril or sword?

  213. For I am persuaded that Neither death, nor life, nor angels,

  214. nor principalities, nor powers that means.

  215. Even demons cannot.

  216. Nor things present nor things to come, nor height, nor depth,

  217. nor any other creative thing, shall be able to separate

  218. us from the Love of God, which is in Christ Jesus,

  219. our Lord. Nothing can separate you. Nothing and the Bible

  220. names some things.

  221. Can.

  222. I just tell you this as I draw towards a

  223. close by itself these just mentioned to you. Has no

  224. power to separate us by itself. Tribulation no power by himself,

  225. Distress no power by itself. Persecution no power to separate

  226. you and I from the Love of God by itself.

  227. Famine has no power, nakedness, peril, sword by itself, Angels

  228. no power by itself, principalities, demons no power by itself, hi, depth,

  229. all created thing.

  230. By itself. You know what, because God will not allow

  231. it to.

  232. God will not allow your sickness to have the power

  233. to separate you from.

  234. The love of God.

  235. There is nothing that can separate because God will not

  236. allow it.

  237. His love is jealous, his love is tenacious.

  238. His love is everlasting, His love is amazing.

  239. His love is.

  240. Going to hold on to you while everyone else, let's go.

  241. You know, the only one that can separate from God's

  242. love is yourself. You know, when I look at that

  243. scripture in verse thirty five, he says who shall separate?

  244. It doesn't say what. And yet isation tribulation is not

  245. a who. Tribulation or distress is not a who. You know,

  246. because while you go through tribulation, who that can really

  247. make the decision is you? When you go through distress

  248. or persecution of femine, it is you. You have the

  249. power to love God or to hate him. You have

  250. the power to serve God or do not serve him.

  251. You the power of decision and power of will is

  252. with you. You're the power to come here today or not.

  253. No one can force you. God doesn't want to force us,

  254. because love should never be forced. Amen, who shall separate?

  255. Well?

  256. I believe that only we have the power to separate

  257. ourselves when we allow that thing in our lives to

  258. have power. We gave that thing power. We gave sickness

  259. the power, he says, sickness. You know I'm going to

  260. die from this sickness.

  261. Where are you God? Why are you like that? God?

  262. Why are you so unfair? God?

  263. We make those decisions tribulation yourself can't sickness yourself can't.

  264. We say God, I will love you anyway. God, even

  265. though my back hurts. I will serve you anyway. You

  266. know who made a decision, Because with God, nothing can

  267. separate unless we make that choice. God will still love us.

  268. But I want to just let you know as I close,

  269. that God's love is powerful. How do we do it?

  270. John fifteen nine nine to ten. As the Father loved me,

  271. I also have loved you. Abide in my life?

  272. How do you do it? How do you do it?

  273. Jesus says in John fifteen nine to ten, as a

  274. father loved me, I also have loved you. Amen, So

  275. how do we do this? We've got to abide in

  276. his love. If you keep my commandments, you will abide

  277. in my love. So how do we abide in his love?

  278. We got to keep his commandments. So as I'm declaring

  279. this word to you, I pray that you are catching

  280. from heaven what is needed for twenty twenty six, the

  281. knowledge that he loves you and the response that you

  282. need to love him twenty twenty six. Summarise, but remember

  283. that we love him because he first loved us. And

  284. also remember that nothing separates us. But how do we

  285. get this loveid in it? We're gonna abide. What's the

  286. word abide? It means remain, It means stay in. It

  287. also means anchor yourself. There is no matter what happens,

  288. anchor yourself. You know why we put anchors. It's because

  289. the seas are rough, life is tough. Who's your anchor Jesus,

  290. but not just not just Jesus, his love.

  291. His love will always remain our anchor.

  292. We don't put anchors down when the seas are not rough,

  293. or unless you know you don't want your board to

  294. go anywhere else and you're assimming, and maybe maybe you

  295. put but usually most times it is because it's rough.

  296. Somebody say it's rough, and it can be tough. But

  297. remain in me, Abide in me. How do you abide

  298. keep my commandments? That's what the Bible says. There's not

  299. what Kennegi saying, is what the Bible says. So if

  300. you want to continue to bide in his love, anchored

  301. in his love, so that you can receive good things

  302. from the Father of love in whom there's no shadow

  303. of turning. We twenty twenty six. Let's live for God.

  304. Let's live to keep his commandments. As I close, I would,

  305. I just want to say this to you. When you

  306. have to keep a commandment, you have to remember it.

  307. Anyone of us here in this room this year, if

  308. you want to keep a commandment, you have to remember

  309. the commandment. You have to remember. Oh you know, God

  310. says I should do this. God says I should do that.

  311. God taught me this. God taught me that you've got

  312. to remember. So this year, my prayer is that all

  313. of us in this room and those listening, even on

  314. the video, will say, yes, Lord, this year six, I

  315. want to keep your commandments better than I kept them

  316. last year. But we've got to remember what he says

  317. before we keep it. And that's why. As I took

  318. my communion this morning, I took the bread and I

  319. took the cup, and I said, I said, Lord, this morning,

  320. I remember your love.

  321. I remember that you love me.

  322. I took the bread, I chewed it and said, Lord,

  323. it is because you love me that you gave your

  324. body to be broken for me.

  325. Lord, is because you love me that you shed your

  326. blood for me.

  327. So I said, Lord, I remember your love, and I

  328. remember to abide in your love.

  329. We hope you've been blessed by this message. For more
