Plan-Pothole-Patch Up-Purpose

You're listening to an ex church podcast. We hope this message will light up

your day, plan, pothole patch up and purpose. Death is very real

and we will see God one day all of us. Some die younger,

some die older. We must not be afraid even of talking about death.

Be prepared. And so I must tell you I'm at the place whereby I'm

sort of prepared. There's a piece when I think about going home to be

with the Lord, there's a piece, and I said, Lord, whatever,

but God will keep me alive if I still have a purpose to fulfill

on the earth. So think about purpose for a moment now. Purpose is

very important. In fact, that was my message for revl Is Kanda that

night. Purpose. When you and I find our purpose, that is the

happiest day. Someone said before, there are two important days in your life.

One is the day you were born and the other is the day you

find out why. And purpose is powerful and I feel like once you find

the purpose for your life, you are free. Really, you are liberated.

And I want all of you in this room to, if you haven't

found your purpose yet, to find it in God, because I tell you

the freedom that you have when you know and you know why you are alive,

why you're still breathing, and why you are here. There is a

purpose. There is a God who is in control, who orchestrates, and

who makes things happen. Not by accident, somebody say amen, but by

divine appointment. The plan, the plan is often called the vision and all

the dream. God had a plan also means he had a vision. And

there are people here in this room. Maybe you are company owners, and

maybe you lead a group of people. You must have a vision. If

you don't have a plan, you plan well. Someone said, before you

fail to plan, you plan to fail. So we don't want that kind

of life. We want to have a vision for our family, a vision

for our you know, our business, a vision for our life, a

dream. So God also has a vision and a dream. Let's move on.

What is the plan? Number one? I told you this before,

we'll repeat it back to you. God's plan is to spread his kingdom.

He is enjoying himself so much up in heaven, he wanted it to spread

it on this place called earth. This is a simple plan. I cannot

tell you more simply that this great God wanted to franchise and those of you

who are doing very well in your company. That's also in your mind.

You know why there is in your mind because it was also in God's mind.

And you know why your mind and God's mind is almost the same because

you're made in image. All I'm saying is that Chinese are everywhere, Indians

are everywhere. We have something in the image of God in ourhasah to spread,

right, because God also loves to spread, and he wanted heaven not

just to be kept in heaven, but to have Heaven on earth so that

we can enjoy heaven. That's why Jesus says, your kingdom come or will

be done on earth as it is in heaven. Okay, spread number two.

He therefore wanted to share. He had to share his image with somebody

because the only person that can lead heaven on earth is a man or woman

made in his image. So he shared his image. He shared his qualities

with human beings, not just with dogs and cats and chimpanzees, but he

shared it with us. Somebody say, amen, all right, So that's

the plan. The plan is to spread and to make sure even like McDonald's,

they want to make sure that good managers are running it. And you

know what, some of these early days are managers for McDonald's. You know

where they had to go to. They had to go to America for training,

to our university called University of Hamburger Hamburger University. Have you heard of

that. So they will go to America to the Hamburger University. And they

got to get all the DNA because what the US McDonald's want to do was

to share their DNA their way to manage, because they didn't want it the

Malayian wade, the Singaporeant way, the thaiwade. They wanted their way.

And so when managers came back, graduated from Hamburger University, and of course

they're so big around the world, they had their own university. And so

when they came back, they came back not with the Malaysian identity, not

with the Chinese identity, nor with the Indian identity. They came in came

back with the McDonald's way of doing it. God also has a way of

doing it, and those of us who are good entrepreneurship will always make sure

there's a good manager. And God called us to be managers of the earth.

But we had to have something within us. The DNA had to be

of God. Everybody, okay, so that we will know how to lead

it according to God's way, because if we don't have the DNA, we

will lead it a into a very selfish way, because human beings are quite

selfish. And he came because of the fall of sin, which we'll get

to. All right, let's move on. So we have spread, we

have share, and the purpose is to show his glory. As simple as

that. God wanted to show himself to the world. He wanted to show

himself how much he loves us, How he's a good father, how he

is our healer, how he's our provider. Somebody say, amen, how

is our protector? He's a good God. And he wanted to show that,

but not just show that by appearing I am God. I am good.

Everybody run away if not bow down and act like that. Dad,

Right, if God himself came down, So he used God's you and I

to represent him and to show the world this is the God of love,

by loving people, forgiving people, because God also forgives us, giving to

people who are poor, because that's what God does for us. We are

also poor in many sense of the words. Sometimes we can be very rich

in our pocket, but poor in our mind, reach in our bank account,

but poor in our hearts, poor in character. Although you're a multi

millionaire, we can be very poor. But God still gives to us.

He loves us everybody. Okay, so we've got spread, we've got share,

we've got show. That's the plan of God. Easy, easy to

understand. That's the next ass sin. And with that sin came separation.

Now I want to tell you somebody about siner. Sin from the first man

and the first woman is inherited. All of us have inherited sin in our

lives. Do you understand now why when you go to a doctor and you

have a condition, they ask you about your parents' history. Because even in

medical signs, we know that we are all connected all the way. To

add him believe we are connected. And because of one man's sin and one

woman's sin, he has come down all the way. He says that we

don't see each other like a doctor and say so, can you tell me

about your father's sin? Can you tell me about your grandfather's sin? We

don't ask this questions, although in church we do. When I pray for

people, when they get delivered and they get set free, they don't get

set free just because it's their sin. Though some of them will come,

you know. For example, let's say you're a guy that's filled with lust

and you don't know why you can't get over loust. You know, watch

pornography every day, and then you will realize. I see my grandfather only

when I found out for my grandmother, my grandmother's grandfather. Okay, it's

great great grandfather. He was a judge in China. All right. My

grandmother keeps telling my eyebrows are like, you know, like my great grandfather,

this eyebrows of judges, eyebrows of authority. Either, you know,

look very gharaguan. If I let my eyebress grow, I will go like

that. Okay, you will, no, I'm just kidding. So and

then she said he was a very very unjust judge, you know. And

I'm telling you right now it was not to flow down at the lineage.

Uh. And and you'll find, you know, someone uh, you know,

gripped with lust and could not overcome it, and then it will come

down. I have seen families whereby okay, let's say I met someone he

says I'm divorced, but not just me. My mom is divorced, and

my uncles are divorced, and my aunties are divorced. And somehow you will

find that divorce is running through the family. And sometimes you could be cancer.

And then you know, my grandmother died of cancer, my father and

you. So somewhere along the line, God wants to come into our lives

and break it. But the one, the only one that can break it

is the one that took it on his own body. So Jesus died on

the cross for our sins and our sickness, and he took it upon himself.

So when you put your trust in the Lord Jesus Christ, you break

the curse. Because there is a curse that has come down even from Adam

and Eve. I've seen it so many times, guys, I tell you

why, if I spend time talking to you about it, you take another

service. I've seen depression. A girl is depressed, and now I realized

that her mom used to have depression. I realized that her grandmother used to

have depression. I realized that great grandmother. Or sometimes it skips a generation,

but it's there the lineage. When I ask about suicide, suicide has

happened more than once in his family, but some auntie you know, committed

suicide. That it's it's very real. People. I know at one time

we had high cholesterol, and doctor immediately your dad have high cholesterol. I

mean, we can accept it in the clinic for Dr do Ars. We

can't accept it in church when we say that we are actually we have inherited

a lot of sin and sickness that we'd even know. But Jesus came to

break it all up, to break it all up and to set us free.

Somebody say, amen, it's important if you have divorced in your family

and goes on and on and on, and it might attack you your marriage.

I pray that today it shall be broken. I didn't. I didn't

set out today to actually want to pray for people, uh, to to

break bondages. Uh. And if it's a sickness, uh, if it's

you know, a bad habit, if it's a sexual sins uh. You

know my dad was also you know when when I told you before that I

was addicted to pornography when I was very young, and only later on I

found out that my dad was actually very sexually loose in his childhood. And

then, you know, just so so I know, I know this is

very real. I just want to say to you again, Satan is very

real and so it's sin. And the thing is we are separated from God

because of that. Okay, let me let me draw towards the clothes.

Let's move on. This is the bad news. This is the pothole.

The plan is that God wanted to spread share and show the pothole or the

bad news is that there was a satan, there was sin, and there

was separation from God. Okay, bad news. Now let's go into the

patch up. Every pothole can be patched up. Somebody say, amen,

the Malaysian portholes. Have you seen the Malasian potholes some places I see on

his Instagram's so funny, you know, they guess who frustrated that the authorities

are not patching up the porthole. They going They're going to plan a plan

Planet dur Entry, plant the mango tree, you know, and then the

tree is growing and then food thing, and you know, now it's harder

for the authorities to pull up by the roots. But you know, we

get very frustrated with potholes in our lives. But I'm here to tell you

that Jesus came to patch it up, to patch it up? How,

how this is the good news? This is the gospel Number one, God

said a savior. Somebody say, amen, his name is Jesus, son

of the Living God. God himself came in the flesh. He had to

because he had to pay for our sins. So he had to carry our

body to pay. You know, like how you go to China, you

can't pay in ring it. No, you go to America, you can't

pay in uh. But so when Jesus came to pay our price, he

couldn't pay with God money. He had to pay with human money. He

had to put on a currency body. A lot of people don't understand that.

So God came in a human body because the human currency had to go

to the cross. He had to pay with his body, his life.

This is a lot of people say, why why can't God just come as

God and go on? I decree, I declare he can't because his own

law says eye for eye, tooth for tooth. So he has to pay

the price of a human sin with a human body. He had to be

slashed by a whip, and that stripes on his body hung to a cross

but God was in that body, and that God in that body couldn't die.

The body died and took our place. It was currency spend right in

God's wisdom. He paid the price the savior. And so the next ass

is salvation. And the way we get salvation is not just to say,

oh, Jesus came, Oh Jesus came, Oh wow. Not wonderful,

wonderful for you Christians. That Jesus came. No, no, no,

is for everyone, somebody said everyone. And so to be able to receive

salvation from a savior is to receive him, is to believe in him,

is to say, Jesus, I tried it my way. I tried it

my way so many times. I won your way. Help me, Lord,

help me. I humble myself. I don't want to be proud.

This is not time to be proud anymore. I want to come to you,

Savior. I now see that there is a plan that God had for

me from the beginning, and Satan and sin spoiled it and separated me from

God. But now God calls me back to become his child. Salvation must

be received. He's like soap. Salvation is like soap. Soap next to

you in the bathroom. That's nothing to you. I used to do me.

Some people say, why do I need to pick up the soap?

Of course you need to pick up the soap. No, But I know,

Jesus, I know the soap. I stand. In fact, I'm

washing under the shower and the soap is with me, and I think about

the soap, and I like the soap, and the smell is good.

It's something I touch it and rubbit a little bit and smell. Oh.

Until you pick up the soap and start washing, you will never get clean.

Jesus will never force you to use the soap. It is a personal

decision. A free will pick up that soap and start to wash. And

I tell you what. You will see the difference. You will smell the

difference. Amen, it's good. So salvation was the next one. After

salvation, we become sons and daughters again. Now we're being back to square

one. At the beginning of the plan, God wanted sons and daughters.

He didn't just want people saved. He wants sons and daughters because he's the

father. And as sons and daughters, we have his image, we have

his likeness. You know, Like I said, before right in America.

A lot of it happens not here so much in Malaysia, but you'll see

a person's name right, Kenneth Chin and sons for example. And the reason

why is because whatever I do, you know, I do with my sons,

I do for my sons. And when I'm no longer here, my

sons take over. Right. They're proud to have their sons carry on their

business. And that's why Jesus says, why do you seek me? Don't

you know I must be about my father's business. We hope you've been blessed
