And now to today's message.

Before we take our seats, let's go Joshua one verse eight.

This book of the Law shallne depart out of my mouth,

but I shall meditate in it to day and night,

that I may observe to do according to all that

is written in it. But then I will make my

way prosperous, and then I will have good success. Amen,

why don't you take your seats and expressing a sweet

continue discourses on our best. We can bring order into

our giving lives Hae Louijah oh I said halllu Jah

in May and text or uncle scripture for the month

of Order in our Giving is taken from Matthew chapter six,

verse twenty four. Matthew six twenty four. It says that

no one can save two masters, for either he will

hate the one and love the other, or else he

will be loyal to the one and despise the other.

You cannot save God and Mammon. And that's Jesus speaking.

The message says that you can't worship to God at

once love and one God, you end up hating the other.

A duration of one fits contempt for the other. You

can't worship God and Mama Amen. And that's a theme

for the month. And as we said in our introductions

in the past couple of discourses, we made it very

clear that we wanted to put it into context, because

once you put it in context and you have all

the background drop or talk, and you're able to understand

much more what God or what Jesus Christ was saying

and what he meant by making such an emphatic statement

in the world that and literally and Jesus didn't mean's

words in the world that has seemingly deified Mammon, and

no doubt Jesus refers to it that Mamon that was

a spirit or the spirit behind money. Hallelujah. In a

well where like someone said, it's the territories. Everyone is

going for the gold, halleluiah. Gold is literally worshiped. And

if you have money and the same money's power, Money

brings influence, Money enables your voice to be heard in

the seconds of men. And it's our world, you know.

And the irony is that it has instead of it'd

been seen one of the creations of God, because God

created maney he says the silver is my and the

gold is mine, instead of we're seeing it. We have

elevated and money or wealth to such a status that

we even find ourselves or with making it to compete

with affection for God. And a lot of people have

drifted away from kingdom values, kingdom principles, and if you like,

drifted away from the old tests of God in a

quest in a chase for more and more money. And

the world has done a very good job at that say,

has ensured that you know, oh, oh, the at risks

is awful. Who gets more money? And anyone who gets money,

they are rightfully healed and and paid attention to mean,

you know, the belowness of this world and all that

we know, all their names, they all in every community

they find themselves, they compete for attention, They try to

draw attention because of all that the wealth can do.

You know, in a world where things are not working well,

we am at all admitting that things are not working

according to design. And we attempted to, as children of God,

to follow the band wagon. And we all seemingly we're

heading in that direction until we come to the Holy scriptures.

And once we come to the Holy scriptures, now the

truths of God, you know, seemingly confronts us and tries

once again to warn us. And that's that statement is

a very very severe warning from Jesus Christ, trying to

let us know that it's not possible. If God says

it's not possible, it's not possible, and more or less

to invite us to make a choice, says you cannot

save God. And but remember that as believers, we are

redeemed to serve let Israel go. Moses told Pharaoh that

him is said and serving God. That word in the

Bible also means worshiping God. And remember we say worshiping God,

worship is a lifestyle. It's a lifestyle. Every aspect of

our being also turnine here on earth. It's a lifestyle

Halene Julia. And so in a way, what Jesus was saying,

you can't put money or the spirit of my Moone

at the very center of your life, that you live

your life wholly depending on it, only valuing chasing it

to the exclusion of what God has redeemed us. Remember,

like we said, God is not God created money, so

he created it for a purpose. I've always argued that,

you know, when we look at life and all that

is happening, and that was part of the design despite

the fall. If you remove all the evil and all

the ills in that weld, all the pain, all the violence,

and all the negativities, if you remove it, that was

the kind of life that God wanted us all to be.

And you remove Satan at the same time, and God

is placed at the very center of our lives, then

all that is going on, everything would have been centered

on God. Halenluia. And that is what in the New

Jerusalem or the New Heaven and Earth project, God seeks

to do same will be eliminated, say time to be eliminated,

and all the ills and the evil that we see

in this world who no longer and God will just

be the center, the deserved center of our life because

He created this Halen Lujiah. Amen. So how are we

going to be able to, if you like, come back

and begin to understand the road of marmon in our

life of worship of God and all that, except that

we come to the way we are redeemed to say,

we are redeemed to say, Hallelujah, we are redeemed to worship.

We are redeemed to sacrifice. Halln Lujiah. So in the

Samon on the Mount, as we have said, Jesus had

these disciples and disciples we said, the are lenis they

want to be like Jesus, the disciples. Our almost desire

is to be like his master. Amen. You know, so

you see the conundrome in church. You don't want to

be like Jesus, like I always ask, you don't want

to be like Jesus. So what are you doing in

the kingdom? Amen? Harlen? Do you are not deciple? But

I've always asked you work a week if I didn't

want to value Jesus. I work a week, amen, And

it's a choice that you have to make. Why waste

your time in the kingdoms values and principles and even

who's founder. You don't want to have anything to do

with him, his ideals, his values and what he stands for.

You don't want it, and you stay. You say you're

in the kingdom. I want to be a part of

the kingdom. It doesn't work. That's what he said is

mutually excluenity. You can't save God and ma'am. And he's

talking to the kingdom citizens. You can't save God and mam.

You can't be a part of what I'm doing if

you can't be able to stand the role or the

proper role of money in the life of the believer,

in the life of the kingdom, and in the life

of what God has called us and redeemed us to

be so. On the Salmon on the Mound, you know,

Jesus tried to correct most of these misconceptions in life

and the misplaced values, the wrong choices that as we

try to follow the ratteries everyone, even those that have

been called into the Kingdom of God, some way, we

are unable to lead the values that we learned growing

up the old man. Once again that we're talking about

the old man. And as we have said, or as

you and I, God has charged us and we are

learning from his presence to cooperate with him. So we

can deconstruct the old man, the old must go and

the new match springer. But then, as we keep on

saying it's a process, how are we going to get

the values match change attitudes, mass change behaviors, mass change

choices must be God andry. And that is what Jesus

so to educate his disciples about in the Salmon on

the Mouth, how they do here. And I believe that

that is why, that is why God has taken us

to the very beginning in chapter five is one. As

we go down, before we get to six twenty four,

we want to put it in context. What what Jesus saying?

What what else did he say that day? How did

he go about his talk? You know? So now once

we came to six twenty four and we have the

f shaking statement, you know, then we can put it

in context and not say God doesn't want us to

be money or for that matter, Yeah, I believe in

the king and say, God wants me to be poor. No,

that is not it, Amen. That is why it gives

us all the skills and all the competencies that we

need to be able to be relevant in this life

and to be able to advance the needs of the kingdom. Harley.

So we started that, and I'm compelled to go over

again and again. You know, initially I said, we're going

to read through the semonument, reading through from phase five

aftill we get six. And we were doing it in

a hurry, you know, and Goes said, little forts, hold on, amen,

because the key thing before we can get to five

twenty four is the attitude na change. Remember what we

always say, thoughts words, actions, They shape us. That defines us, Amen,

thoughts words, actions, and it comes from the environment, the

environment in which we grew up, character shaped by temperament

and then the environment. Fine, we all inherited. Badge is

from Satan, but you and I in the kingdom because

we have changed our environment, we have changed our address.

Haly luas. So God can work on us and rape

this the damage that has been done and help us

to really, if you like, be re educated and construct

better values kingdom values that can help if you like

God moreed us. He's regenerating us the power of worst.

But it's all about worst. The worst is eventually what

is going to dictate and define the kind of things

that we think about our top life, and then the

worst we speak, and then the actions that we take.

So you look at it and as we realize that

most of the first part of the teaching were all

about attitude, not change, because Jesus knows that if he

can get us having that artitue not change which is

going to shape our behavior, going to modern ate our

choices in this life, we begin to reflect God, will

become image bearers of God. When people see us, they

will see as semblance of God. And they were saying, indeed,

these are the children of God. Amen. Remember us, we

are saying, as part of the new Man project. When

we go somewhere, we don't need to open our back.

When people meet us, they must know we are children

of God. The choices, even the speak, the choice of

your words, Hallnluiah, the choice of your words. Amen. Sometimes

we just we just want to be like the people

of the Word. We are looking so much for them

to embrace and to endorse us. I believe that your

language must change. Say amen, Halenluiah, Amen, you must begin

to speak well. He says, that's man, That's what we're

doing is a conversation. So thankfully we've gone over that,

Helen Louiah. Amen. So that so we are talking here about,

as we say, the be attitudes. Let it be your attitude.

We are talking about values, the samon on the man.

We're talking about principle. Choice is behaviors, and these will

ultimately shape our characters and determine the outcome of our lives.

Let us always remember, for you and I. And it's

also one of the key messages of the Gospel. We

are palegrims heading somewhere in life. Turn to someone saying

I'm heading somewhere in life, Helen Loujah. And when we

say heavy somewhere, then immediately people say, oh, yeah, I'm

going to be somebody, you know, a billoonnee. And No,

the believer, whether believer, is heading, it's not heading towards

celebrated statutes or cold statutes where people begin to worship

you and then you dave by yourself. No, you see

a believer humble and then growing up and then very

very much willing to be shaped with the values of

the Gospel. And then they grow up and then they

give them a position. Oh, they graduate, and then they

land the affairs job. Not as everybody else is being paid.

They are giving him the main salaries in dollars, then

the other one the other allowances are and then UK

pounds and then the travel allowances are paid in euros.

Oh my god. Sooner later they stop coming to church.

Halen Loujah. They man know we are heading somewhere in life.

Remember life. We said there's only one life to live.

But then there are two chapters and then to destinations.

In chapter two. The choices that we are making here

in this life were determine our final destination. And that's

why the attitude natchaate is key. No doubt, Jesus decided

to address the when you see mine when you get

to the workplace, and then praise God. Praise God. If

they give you all and you become a billoonnare and

you are paid in millions of diars, it's praiseworthy. But

how is it going to affect you? The values, the

choices and ultimately your behavior, how is it going to

affect you? No doubt In Jesus is the disciples. The

word shocked. When Jesus said that it is easier for

a camel to go through the eye of a needle

bound for a rich man to enter into the Kingdom

of God. You see the competing interest. The spirit of

my mond comes in and then it tells the rich,

no way. You have to change. Now that you have

you can command a lot of money. You have to

change your attitude. People must worship you. And the immediately

your language began to change. Like as we are saying,

the accidents is starts from here the thought life, and

then the words, and then the behaviors follow natural Halen Louiah.

A man life is not a merry go round that

ends nowhere in no way. And you and I as believers,

let them. Let the world chase after the spirit of

my mom. But we know where we are going. So

even when we are well paid, hey, we know we

know why God. We needn know why God will pay

us well because there's a kingdom to be built. There's

a kingdom to be built, there are lives to be changed,

and then become a generous giver. Look at what happened

to the kingdom, Look at what Happening Act had the

inauguration of the church Harlen Louis when Joseph and ban

Blabads went and sold everything and then brought it to

the disciple. They were need. They were going back home.

So some that they didn't create, you know, are convent

where they were now known because the Bible said they

were even visiting each other in their room, so everyone

stayed in their own immediately they identifiedly maybe we les

call it. They had a welfare system and people were

giving and donating generously into the welfare system. The just

in case people have this, let's mobilized, let's help. We

have one brothers and sister. We are heading in the

same direction. We are going to the same place, and

we need to help each other. We are understanding of

wealth changed. That is why they could go and sell all.

The Bible says they went and sold all, so that

they brought it for redistribution, for wealth redistribution. And the

Bible tell doesn't tell us that they became poor. It

means that today they also had some amen. So when

we talk about giving order and giving, I don't say

want all your money to church and then go and

then suffer with your children. No way, that's not the

teaching Halene Lujah by even that when being ordered, and remember,

the believer is someone whose life and footsteps are ordered

by the Lord. The Holy Spirit will whisper to you

what to take amen, So investue. He read, and he

opened his mouth and taught to them, and he said,

Blessed have the poor in spirit? Isn't it attitude? He's

talking about attitude. Blessed are the poor in spirit? For

this is the Kingdom of God. This is the Kingdom

of God. You understand the Kingdom of God, which is

where we get to go in chapter two of our Lives,

which is why we were just saying that they believer

is somebody who is not just going nowhere, but nos destination.

We know where we are going. That is why the

Bible in the Heroes eleven will talk about Abraham and

the Patriarchs and all the heroes in the Bible, heroes

and heroes, and it says that they knew where they

were going. They were called themselves aliens and so Janus.

They said they were going to a city whose builder

and foundations were laid by God, not by men. Where

hurricane is there a hurricane or whatever earthquake will just

flatten it in seconds. No, Souse, immediately you you understand

and appreciates these truths. Your values changed in whenever Webin

sees you didn't know. You know what you're doing. That's

what means. You know where you are heading and you

know how to put if you like the spirit of

my mom in its proper place. Halenelujah amen. So that's

the first attitude said. Let this be your attitude, poor

in spirit, for this is the kingdom of God. Their

hearts are fixated that look this well is because like

we almost say, you won't die. That is what gives

you an idea that this is not our destination. And

the Bible headcates us from Genesis. It tells us our

words happy. He tells us about upcoming judgment. And we're like,

we say, when you die, you're not just going to

move you into or believe you or no, it won't happen.

You will appear before our maker and give an account

of how we live our life. That's what we mean.

But we know where we are going, and we don't

want together and stand before God and be found guilty.

No of having wasted his spirit, wisted his resources, wasted everything.

No harn do here? Can you tell and whisper to

somebody that I know where I'm going? Amen? So humble

spare poor in spirit, humble hearts. They are receptive to

the word of God. They acknowledge God as Savior and Lord,

and they are prepared to do anything to please God

and to end a place in the Kingdom of God.

Say a begay man. And then we looked at verse

four and verse four said, God, blessed are those who mourn,

for they shall be comforted. Mourning in what way self

denial of the ungodly lifestyle and all the comforts of

this world. That literally, the Bible says that those who

go chasing after these things pleas is God. Because God

didn't create that's idolatry. Amen. God didn't create us to

chase after the idols and the creation suppossible. Always say

they worship the Creator and so of the Creator. No,

Halen Loujia, No, that's not it, Halen Lujah, Amen. But

rather we chase for and worship the Creator. He becomes

number one in our lives, giving choices. We choose God,

hondering choices, Halen Louier, Amen.
