You're listening to a message to go from axt church.
-
We hope this message will light up your day.
-
The last three days, you know, breakfast, I would hear
-
people coming and say, hi, Buster, how are you right?
-
And then as they as they as they go around,
-
they would say, so you went to the gyma.
-
You went to the gym. So I I went to
-
the gym. Okay, so I smiler.
-
I go like wow, okay, and you know, it feels
-
good that it feels good that I went to the gym.
-
It feels good.
-
That's that's and I wish I could have seen it
-
as well, because I think I think I would have
-
felt good as well. But I blame my foot being
-
in recovery that I'm not at the gym. It feels good,
-
and it also felt like everyone is doing it.
-
Okay, I'm going.
-
To make it like this is this it's not heavy?
-
It's not I think it's going to be heavy. No, No,
-
is this like it's light? Because I'm going like, yeah,
-
maybe I should go and uh maybe so so maybe
-
I should do it. Maybe I should do it, you know, right.
-
Uh why why? Why? Why do I want to do it?
-
So so that tomorrow morning I can see I've done it,
-
you know, you know, you know.
-
Yeah, I could say I've done it, and how would
-
I do it? So then I came out with a
-
little bit of a chicky uh you know solution. Then
-
I'll just go. I'll just go. I opened the glass door.
-
Hello, everybody, take a sip of water, fellowship a little
-
bit five minutes, and then go back to my room,
-
have a good sleep, just so that I can answer
-
to people the next morning past that you went to
-
the gym.
-
I went to the gym, and I did lie. I
-
didn't lie. I didn't lie. I went to the gym,
-
you know why.
-
And I see, I'll have the bars, I'll have a
-
good feeling and all staff. But I know myself, my
-
own heart, what I did and what I didn't do.
-
Because everybody's going and it feels good to say I went,
-
and maybe I think the back seat and that's why
-
there's noise at the back seat because a lot of
-
uninterested people have come. But I'm not really interested in
-
what's going on because we don't ask deeper questions because
-
when I say you went to the gym, yes, I
-
don't say what did you do? I didn't say what
-
machine you use. I didn't I didn't. I didn't ask
-
you how long. I didn't ask you how you did
-
you sweat? Did you lose weight? How many calories burn?
-
We don't ask people what was your takeaway from the conference?
-
What did you learn? Did you sweat and the conviction
-
of the Holy Spirit?
-
Sweat?
-
And did you did you did you look in the
-
mirror and did you see change? Because you yourself know when
-
nobody challenges you that actually you didn't do much. But
-
neither the people ask much. So I don't have to
-
answer much. But there could be a lot of uninterested
-
people signing up. Every Sunday we say sign up, sign up, right,
-
so everybody is signing up anyway.
-
Nobody's gonna check on me anyway. I didn't pay anyway,
-
you know what I say.
-
So I'm going to just give us a kind of
-
future direction if I can, and you guys will probably
-
do it better in.
-
Detailer, We've got to ask further. We've got to ask deeper.
-
Because when you start asking deeper questions, then now they
-
take the signing up differently.
-
You with me, So I have three quick thoughts.
-
Why people are talking at the back, Because I heard
-
it yes, say say it right, because simply they're not
-
interested in what is going on at the front. They
-
are talking at the bag because they're not really interested
-
in what's going on at the front. And why three
-
three thoughts it doesn't bother.
-
Me, It doesn't benefit me.
-
First of all, Okay, whatever you're talking at the front
-
now doesn't bother me, right, or doesn't benefit me?
-
Okay?
-
All number two, I heard it before, right, All number three,
-
I'm interested in something else. I'm interested in talking to
-
my friend who I've not seen for years. I'm interested
-
in looking at my kids because you know, I'm taking
-
care of them here. Basically, I'm interested in something else now.
-
So the bottom line is that we do stuff like
-
that because we have lack of interest. So how to
-
build the interest is to go deeper, go further. I'm
-
not saying that this is the only answer, but it
-
was that because if I just answered you, yeah, I
-
went to the gym right and thought I'll get away
-
with it, and you asked me by which machine do
-
you use her? And then gonna laugh and go like no,
-
just kidding right now, right right up and probably and
-
probably never see you again. Yeah, So I just say
-
I used to answer, so then you have to go
-
deep again. Right, so I actually used the water this
-
ensive machine or right then your your love with bit.
-
I said, okay, so did you what else you use?
-
Did you swear? You know? Yeah?
-
You know this is you know, I mean, you don't
-
have to be one hundred questions or no, just enough
-
because enough you know and and yeah, I mean you
-
get me. You know this is not you know, it's
-
it's light. But then you go like, oh, yeah, you
-
know it's it's it's real.
-
And yeah. So so I don't know, this doesn't bother
-
benefit me. You know. Is there something we can do
-
about it? I'm not sure. Hurry before.
-
Is there something we can know because past I've not
-
talked about all right, then let's not just regurgitate information.
-
Maybe the first time you heard it, you got it
-
the citing. The next time you hear it, you're gonna
-
do round table paper whatever. You know, So hurry before.
-
But I have now to have to put some practical
-
into it.
-
I don't know. But anyway, thank you for the time.
-
I just wanted to share those few things with us.
-
