We hope you've been blessed by this message. For more
-
information on our church, please visit as Church Org. We
-
are also active on Facebook and Instagram. We're believing that
-
this week is going to be a good week, a
-
hit for you.
-
God bless faith does not allow you to remain as
-
you are. The five will create another five, The two
-
will create another two. The one that was buried in
-
the ground was sadly losing out big time. Don't live
-
by fear, live by faith. Sow what you have so
-
all that you have trust God that faith creates. Faith creates.
-
It comes by hearing. Let me repeat it again. How
-
does faith come by hearing and hearing by the word
-
of God? Romans ten seventeen. Now we've got to have
-
faith in three things. Let me go deeper down. I
-
pray that all of us in this room will have faith.
-
That there are open doors in front of us. It
-
is green light ninety nine point nine percent of the time.
-
Not read you say. Before Jesus gave the great commission.
-
We study stories like David that before he went out
-
into war, he took an effort and he inquired of
-
the Lord, should I go after this army? Would you
-
give me the victory. These days, after the Great Commission,
-
we don't ask that question anymore because when the Lord says,
-
go and make disciples of all nations, it's green light.
-
So we keep going by faith, knowing that all doors
-
are open. We don't have to ask God anymore. Do
-
you want him saved? Do you want her saved? Do
-
you want to give me the school? Do you want
-
to give me that university? You don't. In fact, Paul,
-
you never see anywhere racist God. Would you give me Macedonia?
-
Would you give me Philippe? No, he went and went
-
and went until there was a great light. Is now
-
the other way around? Don't go. But even when that
-
door was closed, another door was opened. Because God continuously works.
-
He has opened all doors. That's faith thought. Number One,
-
All doors are open. Lord, Should I reach my neighbor?
-
Of course you should. Don't ask him those questions. Ask
-
him for help, ask him for wisdom how to do it.
-
But you don't have to ask Lord. Would you give
-
me my family? He wants to. He's asked you to
-
the commandment, and the commission has already been given. Go
-
take possession of every land that I have brought you to.
-
Number two faith thought. Number two, let me go deeper.
-
We must believe that we have been appointed. I sat
-
appointed and therefore anointed to reach young people at church.
-
This is our appointment and our anointing. You must believe
-
that that's faith. Don't have to ask God about it.
-
You know when it became even clearer to me that
-
when I took over, by the grace of God, act
-
sing Heapaul, which was formerly CCF Changi Christian Fellowship, all
-
of them were old and all the young people were
-
in all other churches. And so when we came in
-
really uh not. It wasn't planned. It was planning by God.
-
But I'm totally unplanned. From my end. I was on
-
sabbatical when the Lord caught me to help. And you
-
remember me telling you that. One pastor even asked me,
-
how can you do that on your sabbatical. I said, well, pastor,
-
it's very very respected pastor. You don't do things like
-
that on asbetic girl. You know it's right half rebuiket me,
-
I said, Pastor, I understand you that you're supposed to
-
rest in sabbatical, but I also understand you're not supposed
-
to rest from God's word ify God tells me to
-
do anything. My sybbatical, I have to obey. You can rest,
-
but don't rest from God's voice. Don't rest from obeying
-
the Lord. And the passer ket quiet. He said, Yeah,
-
I think you're right. You know, sometimes we hold on
-
through thou was a medical so much that we forget
-
God's voice. Yeah, you want to take a break, take
-
a break in uh Pataya or whatever you want, but
-
don't take a break from God. Take God with you
-
to Putta. Why not take God with you to Santorini?
-
Take God with you? Why rest from God? I don't
-
want to rest from God. I wanted him with me everywhere. Amen,
-
including my holiday or my honeymoon or whatever. God, come in, Come, come,
-
come in and be with us, because you make our
-
marriage happen. Amen. There's another point, but we are anointed. So
-
what happened was when we took over CCF by the
-
grace of God. I tell you, the young people started
-
coming in and he was effortless. You asked by Assendra.
-
We came in one of the sundays, we got where
-
did these young people come from? And the Lord says,
-
why us so surprise, I anointed you for young people.
-
And so you know when you're anointed and when you're gifted.
-
That you know when you're annointed and gifted is when
-
you get results effortlessly. You ask someone to come up
-
and sing. When she or he is a great singer
-
with a gifted voice, they don't even need warmup. We
-
do spars the microphone. Some of us really need warm up,
-
right because we are so so and those who are gifted,
-
we just come up and then you know, when they
-
start singing. They don't even have to ask God for
-
annoying because annoying is a really on them. You just
-
move in your anointing, you move in your gifting. Are
-
you still with me? So if you are an ex,
-
whether you are ex clang or ask God the commoning
-
where colleges are not that nearby, not Sonia, not like
-
maybe some money right opposite. Okay, some of us usually
-
we go and park ourselves very near to colleges. That's
-
one of our leading and directions we do that. That's
-
our DNA, that's part of us. Part of how he
-
plan escape right as close as you can to as
-
many colleges, ex subang right right there in campus land.
-
But even if your ex clang and you can't find
-
a university of college nearby. Understand that as long as
-
your ex you are anointed, appointed and anointed, and they
-
will come. You see, if you are just fighting with
-
the natural, you are going to be very discouraged. And
-
the natural is that they're not coming, and the colleges
-
are far away. We don't have anything like all our
-
people are growing older. Don't look at the natural. Focus
-
on the supernatural, which is what does God have in store?
-
What he plays on us? How has he anointed us?
-
How he has gifted us that. Actually, I will say this,
-
you don't even have to follow you, youth, follow you,
-
but you see, we have to understand that and claim it.
-
I don't have to go follow them. I don't have
-
works so hard because I am gifted, I'm anointed and
-
all as long as I understand this, accept this and
-
claim it, God will make away even where there seems
-
to be no way. He will honor us, He will
-
bless us. This is our call. How can we go wrong?
-
There is an anointing. You know, there's a grace on us,
-
and let's maximize it. Everybody, Okay, not that's faith point
-
to faith point Umber Tree is we have been sent.
-
Do you believe that we've been sent to and given
-
the land that we are now walking on? You've got
-
to believe that, at least believe that first, all right,
-
meaning to say that if you were sent to Ampang,
-
then you were also given the land in Umpank. You
-
got to believe that God didn't send you there to
-
be the smallest, quietest, most isolated. No, all right, but
-
what he say to Joshua, I will give you. I
-
have given you the land. I will give you a
-
Let me correct that I have given you the land
-
on which you walk on. So our job is to
-
keep walking the land and every a place that your
-
foot threats upon. I have not willa I have given
-
to you. I want to say this to exclaim God
-
has given you the land. He has given you as
-
many campus students as your heart's so desire. I want
-
to tell you to export the community. I want to
-
tell you to anyone here who goes like, but you
-
know we're all older. No, don't worry about it. I
-
also am growing older, But there is a calling. My
-
calling doesn't stop by my age. My gifting doesn't cease
-
because I grow older. I have been called by God faith.
-
You must have that faith before you can even go
-
into any strategy. Believe God is with us. Believe another
-
scripture that says what you saw you will reap. Do
-
you believe that? Remember the parable of the talents. The
-
five became ten, the two became four, the one remained.
-
Faith creates you don't remain the same as you received
-
you never Faith does not allow you to remain as
-
you are. The five will create another five, The two
-
will create another two. The one that was buried in
-
the ground was sadly losing out big time. Amen, I
-
just want to realize I'm speaking of religio. Just want
-
to prophesy to every church plan here. You will not
-
remain the same. You will not remain where you are.
-
You will not you know, not in terms of your size,
-
not in terms of your disciples, No in terms of
-
your leaders. Know in terms of the territory that you are.
-
You know, a reaching and keep walking the land, claim
-
the land. Know that God is with us. He goes
-
before us, but with God on our side with us,
-
you know, how can we fail be encouraged? Five becoming ten,
-
two becoming four is one hundred percent. So what we
-
need to remember is to give you one hundred percent,
-
to get one hundred percent if all you have is
-
to give your tool, and God will multiply that. You know,
-
God will multiply that. Now, this is a warning, lovingly,
-
I want to give all of us. Don't just be
-
satisfied trying to satisfy. Don't just be satisfied trying to
-
satisfy or secure what you have been given. When we decentralize,
-
everybody was given a portion. It is like the person
-
who was given one talent. We were either so that
-
one talent for more because faith creates, or we will
-
be satisfied satisfying the seventy and securing it so that
-
we don't lose them. Because the guy who buried that
-
one talent was just afraid he will lose that one talent.
-
And when the master came back, he doesn't have anything
-
to give him. Are you arked you with me? As caught?
-
The communing was given fourteen, ten adults, four kids. I
-
believe that faith creates. We cannot remain at fourteen. But
-
I was blessed with fourteen, and there a few more
-
joined us, so it became twenty twenty five. You know,
-
maybe about forty when you count people coming from different
-
places within our church, you know, and today, of course,
-
by the grace of godess, but one hundred and seventy,
-
and you know I won't be satisfied. I can't be satisfied.
-
So I want to just say this again. If you
-
have been given fifty, please don't be satisfied trying to
-
satisfy the fifty. Don't bury your gift in the ground,
-
or you will lose even that. I say it another way.
-
Sometimes when we are giving a portion of fifty sixty
-
seventy people, some maybe twenty, some maybe thirty, we start
-
to concentrate on holding so tightly to this community, because
-
our vision is to have a tight community. Look at
-
my hand. Sometimes we can squeeze it so tight. Now
-
today we are so tight that the very people within
-
our hands are suffocating, and someone out, and some will
-
leave for overseas, and some will leave for other churches.
-
I don't know, but I can see a principle. And
-
not only when you concentrate on let's have a tight community.
-
You are so tight, and some of us are in
-
danger of doing that. Also if you're not careful, instead
-
of living by faith and training with what you have,
-
open your hand and train and use them and you go.
-
I just want to tight community, have lunch together, have
-
dinner together, have fellowship together. You tu and after a while,
-
even the very thing you hold is dying, but not
-
only what your hold is dying. You hold so tightly
-
that no one else can come in. Are you all
-
still with me? I just want to be real with you.
-
We eventually lose them. We eventually lose them. And so
-
you know why, you don't ever have to be afraid
-
if you're doing it right, because the principles are there,
-
and if you live by faith instead of fear, and
-
the fear is O wur lose people. I will have
-
bless people that will burn out and don't live by fear,
-
live by faith. Show what you have so all that
-
you have trust God that faith creates.
-
