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

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

  3. The Kingdom of God in our lives in our church

  4. just means the rule and reign of God in our

  5. lives in our church. But for many years now, as

  6. I think about Kingdom of God, the Lord has always

  7. given me one word, one word for what the Kingdom

  8. of God means, and that one word is way, Way,

  9. the way of God. Every kingdom has its own unique way.

  10. When I go to Japan, Japan has its way. It's

  11. a way of doing things. It's a way of even

  12. closing doors, taking off shoes, the way they handle chopstics,

  13. the way they make tea, the way of the Japanese,

  14. the way of the Koreans. Different, can be similar, but different.

  15. The way of the Germans. I went by the grace

  16. of God to start ex Germany very different. Autoban very different. Okay,

  17. if you're driving at two hundred kilometers an hour, please

  18. drive in the middle lane because you're slow. The way

  19. of Autoban very different. We don't know it. We don't

  20. know it. Here in Malaysia, every kingdom has his own way. Agreed,

  21. God has his own ways. Too. The Kingdom of God

  22. is a way of life, is a way of living.

  23. Isaiah fifty five, verse eight to nine says, for my

  24. thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways my way,

  25. he says the Lord. Amen. For as the heavens are

  26. higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than

  27. your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. So the

  28. next slight says, find the way and seize the day.

  29. If I can go to Japan and find the Japanese way,

  30. I will be able to live easier, and I will

  31. be able to be more fruitful, happier, more profitable. But

  32. if I don't know the way of the Japanese or

  33. wherever it is I'm going the thighs, you know, the Africans.

  34. If I don't know the way, I will be quite miserable.

  35. I will remain as a tourist. And how may you

  36. understand when I say there are still many Christian tourists

  37. in the church, because while we know Jesus, we don't

  38. yet know his ways. Amen. So I'm going to encourage

  39. us to find the way, find the king. Seek ye first,

  40. the Kingdom of God. Right, find a way. There are

  41. two ways to everything and anything. We do in life

  42. two ways you all know it the Kingdom way or

  43. the worldly way, the way of God or the way

  44. of the world. There is a difference between world and worldly.

  45. World is a domain, and God put us in this

  46. world to have dominion over the domain. So there's nothing

  47. wrong with the world. In fact, God so loved the world.

  48. But wordly is a doctrine. Worldly is a way of life.

  49. Wordly is your belief system. Do you believe in the

  50. world's way, then that makes you wordly. You can still

  51. be in the world, but not off the world anyway's you? Okay,

  52. that's what the next slight says. In the world, there's

  53. nothing wrong to be in the world. Is nothing wrong

  54. to be in your office? Is nothing wrong to be

  55. in your company? Is nothing wrong to be in your college.

  56. You're in the world, but you don't have to be off.

  57. Is nothing wrong with the world. God loves the world,

  58. but it's wrong when you become worldly. Everybody, Okay, you

  59. want to be god lee, you want to be Kingdom minded.

  60. So don't blame the world. Okay, blame the ways of

  61. the world that is being taught in our schools, in

  62. our universities. Be careful about that. Now this also means

  63. that I can I can say this this, this is

  64. the next line, and I hope that you'll be blessed

  65. when I say it. I can have problems, but problems

  66. don't have to have me. So you think that Christians

  67. don't have problems, You're wrong. We have problems, but problems

  68. don't have to have us. Can I hear good? Amen.

  69. We can have pain in our body, even right now

  70. you're sitting down or paying your knee, pay in your back.

  71. You can have pain, but pain doesn't have to have you.

  72. You can be in the world, but not off the world.

  73. It's the spirit. At the end of the day, think

  74. about it. It's the spirit. It's the attitude. It's the

  75. way you see life and you and I want a

  76. winning attitude. I could be poor this morning because my

  77. wallet only has got ten dollars left ten ring it,

  78. but poverty doesn't have to have me. I can have

  79. a bad pass, but my bad pass doesn't have to

  80. have me. I can have sorrow, and Christians do have sorrow,

  81. but sorrow doesn't have to have You can be in

  82. the kingdom. You can be living the kingdom while on earth.

  83. Didn't he say your kingdom come, your will be done

  84. on earth. God doesn't hate the earth. Christians, don't be

  85. so quickly wanting to leave the earth. You with me.

  86. The world is terrible, the world of old Satan, who

  87. said God created the heavens and the earth. So be

  88. in your earth. Be in your world. But don't be wordly.

  89. Don't be earthly. Don't yeah have problems, but don't let

  90. problems have you. Your kingdom come, Your way come, because

  91. once the way of God is lived, the will of

  92. God will be seen. I guarantee you this. You choose

  93. the way of God to do your marriage, watch the

  94. will of God come. You choose the way of God

  95. to do your finances, Watch the will of God be done. Everybody, Okay,

  96. you choose the will or the way of God. As

  97. you say the Way first, the way first, the way first.

  98. Hasn't it always been the wafers next, light say sick first.

  99. The Kingdom of God first is the way, and all

  100. these things shall be added to you. Do you know

  101. that God knows your need even before you ask? But

  102. what does he one of us kingdom? What does he

  103. one of us? The way? Seek first the way, find

  104. the way, and seize the day God knows how needs

  105. even before we ask. We are citizens of the Kingdom

  106. of God, and the citizens of the Kingdom of God,

  107. as far as Sandra said on the first night, are

  108. called sons and daughters. So if you are citizens, and

  109. if you are sons and daughters, then you know what

  110. you what's another name for you? Another name for you?

  111. And me? Listen very carefully. Now we are called people

  112. of the way. Do you know that? Did you ever

  113. read that? Let's read it in the Word of God

  114. x nine one two. Then Saul. Then Saul, still breathing

  115. threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went

  116. to the High Priest and asked letters from him to

  117. the synagogues of Damascus, so that if he found any

  118. who were off the way, whether men or women, he

  119. might bring them bound to Jerusalem. K see one more time,

  120. how many hands will go up? Are you people of

  121. the way? Are you people off the way? Or are

  122. you people in the way? Don't get in the way.

  123. Don't just be on the way, be off the way.

  124. We are all people off the way. Jesus is the way,

  125. the truth, and the life. Can you see that they

  126. put way first? Why didn't they say Jesus is the

  127. truth or maybe the life first? Who would you like

  128. life first? No, because in order to have the truth,

  129. you must know the way. Only when you start to

  130. live God's way will you find truth. Only when you

  131. when you find truth, where you find life. You know

  132. in God's Word is very orderly and precept upon precept,

  133. lying upon lying. Are you all say with me? Jesus

  134. is the way, the way first? And no one comes

  135. to the Father John fourteen six, Right, no one comes

  136. to the Father except through the word, through is way.

  137. It goes back to talking about him as the way,

  138. and through this way you will come to the Father. Oh,

  139. this is exciting because he is It's not just a doctrine,

  140. you know. It's not just a book that you have

  141. to read. It's a person called Jesus. And I pray

  142. that you know him this morning, that you love him

  143. this morning as he loves you.
