You're listening to a message to go from acts church.
-
We hope this message will light up your day.
-
You know, I have a vision for our young people
-
and the vision is in the form of Christ. At
-
the age of twelve years old, the parents were on
-
their way home. They lost Jesus for probably about three
-
to four days. They had to back track, and I
-
believe it's also time for the Church of Malaysia to
-
back track, back to basics, back to where we lost
-
the life, the passion, back to where we lost the sun.
-
And so they found him. And when they found him,
-
they found him in the temple. They did not find
-
Jesus as a young child year old in the arcades.
-
They did not find Jesus in the disco. They did
-
not find Jesus playing video games. They found the Son
-
of God. Chelve year old pre teenager. Don't make excuses
-
for your child year olds. Please stop making excuses, Nola.
-
They cannot lie. No that they cannot listen to a
-
long message. No that they cannot worship God so long,
-
nor that they hate you know, old songs. No, stop
-
making excuse us. Look at Jesus. He was trying to
-
model to us that a child year old can sit
-
with elders, can sit in a group speaking about the
-
things of God, dialogueing, discussing. All right, the elders there
-
were amazed and the way Jesus was listening and the
-
way Jesus was contributing to the discussion. Are you all
-
still with me? I have a vision for our young
-
people in Malaysia and around the world, that the way
-
we build them, the way we grow them, the way
-
we develop them, the way we believe in them, the
-
way we sow into them and have them so back
-
into us is that child year old kid Jesus. In
-
the time of the Bible, Jesus is trying to say
-
to us all that we can also have chwelve year
-
olds like that. So it's time I'm going to repeat again,
-
stop making excuses and start seeing exploits. The Bible says
-
in Daniel eleven thirty two B. And those that know
-
their God shall be strong and do great exploits. In fact,
-
what we have today is great excuses. Change those great
-
excuses into great exploits for the glory of God. We
-
can see child year olds. All right, imitate me as
-
I impnate Christ, follow me, Jesus say, is all right,
-
don't just follow him at thirty and thirty three, follow
-
him at twelve. Can I believe this for ex Church? Yes,
-
I told my leaders here ex CHURCHA this is the
-
vision I see. All right. It's not just the music,
-
the sign that, the sound, the lights, all right, the
-
ice cream and the candy. Yeah, these things are fun,
-
but these things don't build great youth and great youth
-
meetings and great youth ministries and more importantly, young people
-
that will make a real difference among their friends in
-
their schools, in their universities, in their communities, in their country.
-
All right, this is my vision. All right, do it
-
for the young people, do it for our future.
-
We hope you've been blessed by this message. For more
