-
You're listening to a message to go from ext church.
-
We hope this message will light up your tea.
-
Because he loves you, you want to love him back
-
sacrificially as well, because what is love sacrificial giving? So
-
if you want the devil to leave you, leave your body,
-
leave your family, leave your home, leave your business, introduce
-
the love of God. Now you are more than a conqueror,
-
because you're.
-
A conqueror who is conquering by God's love. We love
-
him because he first loved us.
-
There is no way you and I are going to
-
be able to love God the way he wants to
-
be loved until and unless we know his love. Were
-
okay on the first of twenty twenty six, I want
-
you to know nothing else matters, nothing more important than
-
knowing God loves you and loving him in return.
-
Here we go again.
-
We love him First John four nineteen, First John four nineteen.
-
We love him because he first loved us. Let's move
-
on to why this is important? Why else is this important?
-
Matthew seven eleven. Matthew seven eleven says, if you, then,
-
being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children,
-
how much more? Somebody say, how much more. That's exactly
-
what it means. How much more? If you can do
-
this with this much, then how much more when you
-
have more? Someone said to me, well, what's you know?
-
Often you like to treat people for meals? So the
-
the phrase that uses you treat people like that when
-
you don't have a salary?
-
What more? If you do so? The how much more
-
is exactly like that.
-
If you as earthly patterns, evil in your heart, cruel
-
in your mind, can give good gives to the people
-
you love and who do you love? Your children? Parents
-
love their children with all their hearts. They love their children.
-
They will do anything for their children. And then the
-
word of God, Jesus himself, says, how much more will
-
your father who's in heaven give good things to those
-
who ask him? So?
-
Do you know where the good.
-
Things of twenty threety six will come from?
-
The father who loves you?
-
The good gifts isn't going to come because you can
-
have longer quiet time.
-
You have longer quiet time. It's good.
-
Please go ahead and do it. But it's not because
-
of that, amen. It's not because you put more in
-
the offering back. It's not because you serve more dream teams.
-
It's not because you go for more missions. All this
-
is good and you should. In fact, it should be
-
a response to his love. Because he loves you, you
-
want to love him bad sacrificially as well, because what
-
is love sacrificial giving? If God can do it to us,
-
we want to do it to him. I know that
-
many of you in this room have paid a sacrifice
-
just to be here, but because you love him, nor
-
because your leader told you, nor because your leadership says
-
stay and come February. I thought I was going to
-
be commissioned. No, your attendance, look at your attendance. No, no, no, listen.
-
Man works differently, you know, on the face of the earth.
-
But God he gives good things. Because He is a
-
good God. He cannot but give good gifts. So this
-
year I'm believing for everyone here in his room to
-
receive good things. Somebody say amen, good health, somebody say
-
your man, good wealth, somebody say amen, good jobs, Amen,
-
good results, All things good because God is good.
-
This year twenty threety six, I declare good.
-
Things, happy New year, because God is good. Let me
-
just ask you right now to just put your hand
-
on your heart. Maybe and for some of you. Maybe
-
you can put your hand on the areas of your
-
body that you need healing. And I just want to
-
lead you in a prayer. Lord, I commit this need,
-
whatever the need is, Lord, I commit this problem. Yeah,
-
lay your hand on that problem.
-
Lord. I commit this pain that I'm feeling right now
-
in my body. Lord. I commit this sickness that I
-
have in my body. Lord.
-
I commit this fear that I have in my heart. Lord,
-
I commit this worry that I have in my mind
-
to your love. I commit this issue to your love.
-
And I know that because you love me, I will
-
receive good things. I receive it right now in the
-
mighty name of Jesus.
-
Amen.
-
You know, many many years ago, I heard a preacher
-
say this, and I remembered and remembered it for maybe
-
three decades now. The devil doesn't understand, nor can he
-
stand under.
-
Love, because the devil doesn't work on love.
-
The devil works on hatred, He works on unforgiveness, he
-
works on bitterness, He works on stuff that is not
-
motivated by love. So this man said that thirty years
-
ago or more, and I took that home, realizing that
-
if the devil cannot understand nor stand under love, shakes
-
when love is near, trembles and flees, because listen, God
-
is love. So where there is love, God is there.
-
So the devil cannot take it. He is very uncomfortable
-
where love is. Do you understand? Is so what I
-
just did for you and with you is you commit
-
whatever it is that the devil true at you, whatever
-
it is that the devil is trying to bring you
-
down with and problems and pain and sickness, and you
-
commit all that to God's love and see those chains break.
-
Just this year, right, guys, bring yourself under the shower
-
of God's love. Just just just learn to do this
-
right in your quiet time. You know, if you forget
-
anything else, just remember his love and bring yourself under
-
that love, all right, And because if you don't, then
-
sometimes you might even be fearful but also frustrated.
-
Why is it taking so long? Right? And you know
-
what happened.
-
You begin to doubt God's love, and the enemy wants
-
you doubt God's love because when you doubt God's love,
-
you also doubt God's.
-
Power because his power is in his love. Everybody.
-
Okay, When I was recovering in the early stages of
-
my foot recovery. My heel bone was healing. I told
-
you one day I think I spoke it. I spoke
-
the message on a video. That's how you have watched it.
-
I said.
-
It was a tough moment for me because only was
-
my left foot and left leg weakened and in pain,
-
but my right leg overcompensated, you know this. And so
-
one day I fell to the ground and I couldn't
-
get up. And for a fully grown man to not
-
be able to push himself up is hard. I mean,
-
even babies can push themselves up, but as a man,
-
I couldn't. And the devil began to whisper to me
-
and said, Kenneth Chin, you want to serve God some more?
-
Look at what he's done to you. Are you sure
-
you want to serve God. Look he can't even get up.
-
You know.
-
And the devil just bombarded me, and I began to cry.
-
I don't cry easily. And maybe some of you in
-
this room, you know, maybe you have just gone through
-
about of tears.
-
Maybe just this morning you are in tears.
-
Maybe you know after this service you might find yourself
-
in tears again. But I pray that you will not
-
be tears of despair, but tears of understanding that God
-
is love and the Bible says nothing can separate us
-
from His love.
-
Nothing right. And you know what God did. He did
-
this to me.
-
It took me about ten fifteen minutes before I could
-
even get up.
-
From the floor.
-
But you know how God means it to me, he says,
-
as the devil was bombarding me with his lies, God said, Kenneth,
-
I knew it was his voice. I said, yes, Lord, Kenneth,
-
do you still believe while you're not able to pick
-
yourself up?
-
Do you still believe that I love you?
-
In the midst of all your pain, in the midst
-
of all your trouble, in the midst of all your
-
ones and lack and need and sickness and discomforts, do
-
you still believe that God loves you? And I answered,
-
I said, Lord, I believe. As soon as I said
-
I believe, the devil stopped speaking because the devil had
-
to be in the environment of love.
-
He can't stand it. So if you want your the devil.
-
To leave you, leave your body, leave your family, leave
-
your home, leave your business, introduce the love of God,
-
Preach the love of God, show the love of God.
-
Remember the love of God. Are you asking with me?
-
Very very important? Because the devil can't stand it, His
-
demons can't stand it, because they can't understand it. You
-
know how this is right? A lot of us fear
-
what we can understand. Now, so that is the devil.
-
He doesn't understand love.
-
Amen. So no matter what you're going through, I want
-
to say.
-
To you again, Jesus loves you. God is love, and
-
where he is there is freedom, there is liberty Romans eight.
-
That is, Yet in all these things we are more
-
than conquerors through Him who loved us. Do you know
-
why you are a conqueror? And why I am a conqueror?
-
Because of God's love? Romans eight thirty seven. Read to
-
you again. Yet in all these things we are more
-
than somebody say, more than Congress through Him who loved us. You,
-
and I am repeating myself, now, are Congress, No, not
-
just Congress, more than Congress?
-
Why? Through Him who loved us? Now?
-
Why more than? Because I think I can settle for
-
a conqueror? Why more then?
-
Another translation is.
-
Victorious overcomer, all right, overcome more than overcomer?
-
Why more then?
-
Because you can be a conqueror without being loved. Now
-
you are more than a conqueror because you're a conqueror
-
who is conquering by God's love. That's why there are
-
a lot of conquerors in this world. There are a
-
lot of conquerors in this world. Some people might say, you,
-
Lord Master is a conqueror. So now he's the richest
-
man on earth. So say, yeah, I'm a conqueror, But
-
does he know the love of God. The richest people
-
in the world, the most powerful men in the world,
-
can be conquerors.
-
But it is the love that makes us more than.
-
Because there are days where we can't conquer by our
-
own strength. There are days where we have won some battles,
-
but this one is the hardest.
-
And it is not going to be.
-
Your degree or your postgraduate or anything like that that
-
will get you through this one.
-
You know what will get you through this one.
-
The love of God, knowing that He has loved us.
-
The Bible says in Romans eight thirty five eight thirty nine,
-
Who shall separate us from the Love of Christ shall
-
tribulation or distress, or persecution, or famine or nakedness or.
-
Peril or sword?
-
For I am persuaded that Neither death, nor life, nor angels,
-
nor principalities, nor powers that means.
-
Even demons cannot.
-
Nor things present nor things to come, nor height, nor depth,
-
nor any other creative thing, shall be able to separate
-
us from the Love of God, which is in Christ Jesus,
-
our Lord. Nothing can separate you. Nothing and the Bible
-
names some things.
-
Can.
-
I just tell you this as I draw towards a
-
close by itself these just mentioned to you. Has no
-
power to separate us by itself. Tribulation no power by himself,
-
Distress no power by itself. Persecution no power to separate
-
you and I from the Love of God by itself.
-
Famine has no power, nakedness, peril, sword by itself, Angels
-
no power by itself, principalities, demons no power by itself, hi, depth,
-
all created thing.
-
By itself. You know what, because God will not allow
-
it to.
-
God will not allow your sickness to have the power
-
to separate you from.
-
The love of God.
-
There is nothing that can separate because God will not
-
allow it.
-
His love is jealous, his love is tenacious.
-
His love is everlasting, His love is amazing.
-
His love is.
-
Going to hold on to you while everyone else, let's go.
-
You know, the only one that can separate from God's
-
love is yourself. You know, when I look at that
-
scripture in verse thirty five, he says who shall separate?
-
It doesn't say what. And yet isation tribulation is not
-
a who. Tribulation or distress is not a who. You know,
-
because while you go through tribulation, who that can really
-
make the decision is you? When you go through distress
-
or persecution of femine, it is you. You have the
-
power to love God or to hate him. You have
-
the power to serve God or do not serve him.
-
You the power of decision and power of will is
-
with you. You're the power to come here today or not.
-
No one can force you. God doesn't want to force us,
-
because love should never be forced. Amen, who shall separate?
-
Well?
-
I believe that only we have the power to separate
-
ourselves when we allow that thing in our lives to
-
have power. We gave that thing power. We gave sickness
-
the power, he says, sickness. You know I'm going to
-
die from this sickness.
-
Where are you God? Why are you like that? God?
-
Why are you so unfair? God?
-
We make those decisions tribulation yourself can't sickness yourself can't.
-
We say God, I will love you anyway. God, even
-
though my back hurts. I will serve you anyway. You
-
know who made a decision, Because with God, nothing can
-
separate unless we make that choice. God will still love us.
-
But I want to just let you know as I close,
-
that God's love is powerful. How do we do it?
-
John fifteen nine nine to ten. As the Father loved me,
-
I also have loved you. Abide in my life?
-
How do you do it? How do you do it?
-
Jesus says in John fifteen nine to ten, as a
-
father loved me, I also have loved you. Amen, So
-
how do we do this? We've got to abide in
-
his love. If you keep my commandments, you will abide
-
in my love. So how do we abide in his love?
-
We got to keep his commandments. So as I'm declaring
-
this word to you, I pray that you are catching
-
from heaven what is needed for twenty twenty six, the
-
knowledge that he loves you and the response that you
-
need to love him twenty twenty six. Summarise, but remember
-
that we love him because he first loved us. And
-
also remember that nothing separates us. But how do we
-
get this loveid in it? We're gonna abide. What's the
-
word abide? It means remain, It means stay in. It
-
also means anchor yourself. There is no matter what happens,
-
anchor yourself. You know why we put anchors. It's because
-
the seas are rough, life is tough. Who's your anchor Jesus,
-
but not just not just Jesus, his love.
-
His love will always remain our anchor.
-
We don't put anchors down when the seas are not rough,
-
or unless you know you don't want your board to
-
go anywhere else and you're assimming, and maybe maybe you
-
put but usually most times it is because it's rough.
-
Somebody say it's rough, and it can be tough. But
-
remain in me, Abide in me. How do you abide
-
keep my commandments? That's what the Bible says. There's not
-
what Kennegi saying, is what the Bible says. So if
-
you want to continue to bide in his love, anchored
-
in his love, so that you can receive good things
-
from the Father of love in whom there's no shadow
-
of turning. We twenty twenty six. Let's live for God.
-
Let's live to keep his commandments. As I close, I would,
-
I just want to say this to you. When you
-
have to keep a commandment, you have to remember it.
-
Anyone of us here in this room this year, if
-
you want to keep a commandment, you have to remember
-
the commandment. You have to remember. Oh you know, God
-
says I should do this. God says I should do that.
-
God taught me this. God taught me that you've got
-
to remember. So this year, my prayer is that all
-
of us in this room and those listening, even on
-
the video, will say, yes, Lord, this year six, I
-
want to keep your commandments better than I kept them
-
last year. But we've got to remember what he says
-
before we keep it. And that's why. As I took
-
my communion this morning, I took the bread and I
-
took the cup, and I said, I said, Lord, this morning,
-
I remember your love.
-
I remember that you love me.
-
I took the bread, I chewed it and said, Lord,
-
it is because you love me that you gave your
-
body to be broken for me.
-
Lord, is because you love me that you shed your
-
blood for me.
-
So I said, Lord, I remember your love, and I
-
remember to abide in your love.
-
