  1. We hope you've been blessed by this message. For more

  2. information on our church, please visit as Church Org. We

  3. are also active on Facebook and Instagram. We're believing that

  4. this week is going to be a good week, a

  5. hit for you.

  6. God bless faith does not allow you to remain as

  7. you are. The five will create another five, The two

  8. will create another two. The one that was buried in

  9. the ground was sadly losing out big time. Don't live

  10. by fear, live by faith. Sow what you have so

  11. all that you have trust God that faith creates. Faith creates.

  12. It comes by hearing. Let me repeat it again. How

  13. does faith come by hearing and hearing by the word

  14. of God? Romans ten seventeen. Now we've got to have

  15. faith in three things. Let me go deeper down. I

  16. pray that all of us in this room will have faith.

  17. That there are open doors in front of us. It

  18. is green light ninety nine point nine percent of the time.

  19. Not read you say. Before Jesus gave the great commission.

  20. We study stories like David that before he went out

  21. into war, he took an effort and he inquired of

  22. the Lord, should I go after this army? Would you

  23. give me the victory. These days, after the Great Commission,

  24. we don't ask that question anymore because when the Lord says,

  25. go and make disciples of all nations, it's green light.

  26. So we keep going by faith, knowing that all doors

  27. are open. We don't have to ask God anymore. Do

  28. you want him saved? Do you want her saved? Do

  29. you want to give me the school? Do you want

  30. to give me that university? You don't. In fact, Paul,

  31. you never see anywhere racist God. Would you give me Macedonia?

  32. Would you give me Philippe? No, he went and went

  33. and went until there was a great light. Is now

  34. the other way around? Don't go. But even when that

  35. door was closed, another door was opened. Because God continuously works.

  36. He has opened all doors. That's faith thought. Number One,

  37. All doors are open. Lord, Should I reach my neighbor?

  38. Of course you should. Don't ask him those questions. Ask

  39. him for help, ask him for wisdom how to do it.

  40. But you don't have to ask Lord. Would you give

  41. me my family? He wants to. He's asked you to

  42. the commandment, and the commission has already been given. Go

  43. take possession of every land that I have brought you to.

  44. Number two faith thought. Number two, let me go deeper.

  45. We must believe that we have been appointed. I sat

  46. appointed and therefore anointed to reach young people at church.

  47. This is our appointment and our anointing. You must believe

  48. that that's faith. Don't have to ask God about it.

  49. You know when it became even clearer to me that

  50. when I took over, by the grace of God, act

  51. sing Heapaul, which was formerly CCF Changi Christian Fellowship, all

  52. of them were old and all the young people were

  53. in all other churches. And so when we came in

  54. really uh not. It wasn't planned. It was planning by God.

  55. But I'm totally unplanned. From my end. I was on

  56. sabbatical when the Lord caught me to help. And you

  57. remember me telling you that. One pastor even asked me,

  58. how can you do that on your sabbatical. I said, well, pastor,

  59. it's very very respected pastor. You don't do things like

  60. that on asbetic girl. You know it's right half rebuiket me,

  61. I said, Pastor, I understand you that you're supposed to

  62. rest in sabbatical, but I also understand you're not supposed

  63. to rest from God's word ify God tells me to

  64. do anything. My sybbatical, I have to obey. You can rest,

  65. but don't rest from God's voice. Don't rest from obeying

  66. the Lord. And the passer ket quiet. He said, Yeah,

  67. I think you're right. You know, sometimes we hold on

  68. through thou was a medical so much that we forget

  69. God's voice. Yeah, you want to take a break, take

  70. a break in uh Pataya or whatever you want, but

  71. don't take a break from God. Take God with you

  72. to Putta. Why not take God with you to Santorini?

  73. Take God with you? Why rest from God? I don't

  74. want to rest from God. I wanted him with me everywhere. Amen,

  75. including my holiday or my honeymoon or whatever. God, come in, Come, come,

  76. come in and be with us, because you make our

  77. marriage happen. Amen. There's another point, but we are anointed. So

  78. what happened was when we took over CCF by the

  79. grace of God. I tell you, the young people started

  80. coming in and he was effortless. You asked by Assendra.

  81. We came in one of the sundays, we got where

  82. did these young people come from? And the Lord says,

  83. why us so surprise, I anointed you for young people.

  84. And so you know when you're anointed and when you're gifted.

  85. That you know when you're annointed and gifted is when

  86. you get results effortlessly. You ask someone to come up

  87. and sing. When she or he is a great singer

  88. with a gifted voice, they don't even need warmup. We

  89. do spars the microphone. Some of us really need warm up,

  90. right because we are so so and those who are gifted,

  91. we just come up and then you know, when they

  92. start singing. They don't even have to ask God for

  93. annoying because annoying is a really on them. You just

  94. move in your anointing, you move in your gifting. Are

  95. you still with me? So if you are an ex,

  96. whether you are ex clang or ask God the commoning

  97. where colleges are not that nearby, not Sonia, not like

  98. maybe some money right opposite. Okay, some of us usually

  99. we go and park ourselves very near to colleges. That's

  100. one of our leading and directions we do that. That's

  101. our DNA, that's part of us. Part of how he

  102. plan escape right as close as you can to as

  103. many colleges, ex subang right right there in campus land.

  104. But even if your ex clang and you can't find

  105. a university of college nearby. Understand that as long as

  106. your ex you are anointed, appointed and anointed, and they

  107. will come. You see, if you are just fighting with

  108. the natural, you are going to be very discouraged. And

  109. the natural is that they're not coming, and the colleges

  110. are far away. We don't have anything like all our

  111. people are growing older. Don't look at the natural. Focus

  112. on the supernatural, which is what does God have in store?

  113. What he plays on us? How has he anointed us?

  114. How he has gifted us that. Actually, I will say this,

  115. you don't even have to follow you, youth, follow you,

  116. but you see, we have to understand that and claim it.

  117. I don't have to go follow them. I don't have

  118. works so hard because I am gifted, I'm anointed and

  119. all as long as I understand this, accept this and

  120. claim it, God will make away even where there seems

  121. to be no way. He will honor us, He will

  122. bless us. This is our call. How can we go wrong?

  123. There is an anointing. You know, there's a grace on us,

  124. and let's maximize it. Everybody, Okay, not that's faith point

  125. to faith point Umber Tree is we have been sent.

  126. Do you believe that we've been sent to and given

  127. the land that we are now walking on? You've got

  128. to believe that, at least believe that first, all right,

  129. meaning to say that if you were sent to Ampang,

  130. then you were also given the land in Umpank. You

  131. got to believe that God didn't send you there to

  132. be the smallest, quietest, most isolated. No, all right, but

  133. what he say to Joshua, I will give you. I

  134. have given you the land. I will give you a

  135. Let me correct that I have given you the land

  136. on which you walk on. So our job is to

  137. keep walking the land and every a place that your

  138. foot threats upon. I have not willa I have given

  139. to you. I want to say this to exclaim God

  140. has given you the land. He has given you as

  141. many campus students as your heart's so desire. I want

  142. to tell you to export the community. I want to

  143. tell you to anyone here who goes like, but you

  144. know we're all older. No, don't worry about it. I

  145. also am growing older, But there is a calling. My

  146. calling doesn't stop by my age. My gifting doesn't cease

  147. because I grow older. I have been called by God faith.

  148. You must have that faith before you can even go

  149. into any strategy. Believe God is with us. Believe another

  150. scripture that says what you saw you will reap. Do

  151. you believe that? Remember the parable of the talents. The

  152. five became ten, the two became four, the one remained.

  153. Faith creates you don't remain the same as you received

  154. you never Faith does not allow you to remain as

  155. you are. The five will create another five, The two

  156. will create another two. The one that was buried in

  157. the ground was sadly losing out big time. Amen, I

  158. just want to realize I'm speaking of religio. Just want

  159. to prophesy to every church plan here. You will not

  160. remain the same. You will not remain where you are.

  161. You will not you know, not in terms of your size,

  162. not in terms of your disciples, No in terms of

  163. your leaders. Know in terms of the territory that you are.

  164. You know, a reaching and keep walking the land, claim

  165. the land. Know that God is with us. He goes

  166. before us, but with God on our side with us,

  167. you know, how can we fail be encouraged? Five becoming ten,

  168. two becoming four is one hundred percent. So what we

  169. need to remember is to give you one hundred percent,

  170. to get one hundred percent if all you have is

  171. to give your tool, and God will multiply that. You know,

  172. God will multiply that. Now, this is a warning, lovingly,

  173. I want to give all of us. Don't just be

  174. satisfied trying to satisfy. Don't just be satisfied trying to

  175. satisfy or secure what you have been given. When we decentralize,

  176. everybody was given a portion. It is like the person

  177. who was given one talent. We were either so that

  178. one talent for more because faith creates, or we will

  179. be satisfied satisfying the seventy and securing it so that

  180. we don't lose them. Because the guy who buried that

  181. one talent was just afraid he will lose that one talent.

  182. And when the master came back, he doesn't have anything

  183. to give him. Are you arked you with me? As caught?

  184. The communing was given fourteen, ten adults, four kids. I

  185. believe that faith creates. We cannot remain at fourteen. But

  186. I was blessed with fourteen, and there a few more

  187. joined us, so it became twenty twenty five. You know,

  188. maybe about forty when you count people coming from different

  189. places within our church, you know, and today, of course,

  190. by the grace of godess, but one hundred and seventy,

  191. and you know I won't be satisfied. I can't be satisfied.

  192. So I want to just say this again. If you

  193. have been given fifty, please don't be satisfied trying to

  194. satisfy the fifty. Don't bury your gift in the ground,

  195. or you will lose even that. I say it another way.

  196. Sometimes when we are giving a portion of fifty sixty

  197. seventy people, some maybe twenty, some maybe thirty, we start

  198. to concentrate on holding so tightly to this community, because

  199. our vision is to have a tight community. Look at

  200. my hand. Sometimes we can squeeze it so tight. Now

  201. today we are so tight that the very people within

  202. our hands are suffocating, and someone out, and some will

  203. leave for overseas, and some will leave for other churches.

  204. I don't know, but I can see a principle. And

  205. not only when you concentrate on let's have a tight community.

  206. You are so tight, and some of us are in

  207. danger of doing that. Also if you're not careful, instead

  208. of living by faith and training with what you have,

  209. open your hand and train and use them and you go.

  210. I just want to tight community, have lunch together, have

  211. dinner together, have fellowship together. You tu and after a while,

  212. even the very thing you hold is dying, but not

  213. only what your hold is dying. You hold so tightly

  214. that no one else can come in. Are you all

  215. still with me? I just want to be real with you.

  216. We eventually lose them. We eventually lose them. And so

  217. you know why, you don't ever have to be afraid

  218. if you're doing it right, because the principles are there,

  219. and if you live by faith instead of fear, and

  220. the fear is O wur lose people. I will have

  221. bless people that will burn out and don't live by fear,

  222. live by faith. Show what you have so all that

  223. you have trust God that faith creates.
