  10. Welcome to the logo streamer are with God savant Reverend

  11. Doctor Joseph bar Being, head Pastor of Harvest Chapel International Commercy.

  12. And now to today's message.

  13. Let's take our confession Joshua one verse eight. This book

  14. of the Law shallow, depart out of my mouth, and

  15. I shall meditate in it today at night, that I

  16. may observe to do according to all that is written

  17. in it. So then I will make my way prosperous,

  18. and then I will have good success. Amen, why don't

  19. you take your seats. We started the discourses for the

  20. man's halleluis, and this month we are seeing our best

  21. we can bring order into our giving life. Amen, Order

  22. in giving and we very very profound texts to wrap

  23. our discourses around. And that is taken from Marthy. That's six.

  24. That's twenty four, Marthy six twenty four. Can we go

  25. there and look at the text for the month around

  26. which we are going to base all the discourses, all

  27. the truths, all the things that we want to know

  28. and to understand concerning our giving lives. And this is

  29. Jesus speaking. And the occasion on which he makes this

  30. profound and then very bold statement has been described as

  31. the Salmon on the mount Hallelujah. Amen, Amen, the Semon

  32. on the man. That's what I'm saying, was an opportunity

  33. for Jesus chribe to speak into the life of his disciple.

  34. Number one, to reverse the damage that has been done,

  35. the wrong attitudes, the wrong perceptions from our living in

  36. an environment that Satan has taken control of. Halle Lawyer,

  37. the values of the world, the godless values, Helen Lawyer,

  38. they needed to hear. Amen. And then number two, some

  39. of the things that you know, save Dan is very

  40. very clever. Amen. If we go back to the garden

  41. of eating, how did he make our first experience, for

  42. he took the word and twisted the word amen, as

  43. God said, you shall know it. And then Mama even said,

  44. oh yeah, I said that we shall eat it. He said,

  45. which you need to be touch it. So he himself,

  46. he said, God himself knows that when you eat it,

  47. you won't die, but rather you're going to be wiser, amen,

  48. and be able to take if you like, independent actions

  49. and be like God. So the word that God had given,

  50. that is what says, and you are a ride up.

  51. So Jesus comes in and the Salmon on the Mound.

  52. Number two was also to re educators because over the years,

  53. passing over the years, a lot of people are given

  54. their own spain and their own interpretation to the word

  55. of God, and so the misconceptions surrounding most of the things.

  56. There are a lot of people out here that like

  57. we always say I like you always use shing type,

  58. ask what type of DA don't pay your time? So

  59. sometimes there are people in church they said, oh type

  60. a trum. May I say, I don't like if you

  61. say you want to be legal? Let's okay, a true

  62. Can we go to the New Testament? Can you hear

  63. poor telling us so generously, and you shall read generously, Amen,

  64. giving above yourself and your ability to give. So all

  65. the teachings are there, but you will never be able

  66. to understand all these things well if the first key

  67. foundationals too of being a disciple of Jesus is not there. Amen.

  68. And that is when you give your life to Jesus,

  69. you vacate the throne of your life. Jesus comes in

  70. not just a savior, but also that's Lord. Amen. So

  71. these were the people that were guarded. There no doubt

  72. that at the end of it, the xclamation is that wow, wow,

  73. what a word. He teaches us with authority and with

  74. power harm Louiah. Amen. And so is the person it is.

  75. It is on this occasion that it gives us there

  76. can we will come back to the best one. Can

  77. we quickly go to the six twenty four, the thing

  78. for the month. Let's take a look at it, Halid.

  79. He says, no one can save two masters? Who are

  80. these masters? Or you will hate one and love the other, Amen,

  81. mutually exclusive. He says, you can't, Amen, you will be

  82. devoted to one and despise the other. What is he

  83. talking about? You cannot save both God and money? That's

  84. a huge statement. That is earth moving money. Money is

  85. a defense. Money is an answer to all things. Money,

  86. we say, is power, So I can God says you

  87. man are more sorry, and which one offering? And he

  88. let's stay here, won't go anywhere? Amen? Yeah, yeah, yes

  89. you can't yeh, yes you can't here the yeah he

  90. said you can't save God and money. How are we

  91. going to be able to do all these things? Oh, media,

  92. I don't think fast. I don't think that Jesus meant it.

  93. God is speaking, mean that Jesus is a liar. Oh,

  94. I think that there's a certain meaning that we are

  95. not getting. And then we say, let's go and pray

  96. about it. Everything we say, let's pack it and go

  97. and pray about it. But to say that we cannot

  98. save both God and money, making the two things mutually

  99. exclusive either you are here or there, then Jesus could

  100. not have meant what he was saying. Amen, hallelujah. But

  101. the Jesus meaning. So that's why I'm saying that. And

  102. to be able to appreciate this, we need to go back.

  103. That's why we're going back. We are picking all the

  104. troops once again from the whole salmon, and so that

  105. we can put all in context, trying to see how

  106. best it can correct the attitudes that we are formed

  107. growing up in the communities, seeing if you like life

  108. being modeled, and the Bible life tries to tell us

  109. that the life that we are seeing it is not

  110. the life that God had in mind when he created

  111. the world. Hallelujah. God had a certain blueprint that he

  112. wanted all his creation and all his creatures, especially man,

  113. that he created in his image and in his likeness,

  114. an attitude that he needed him to behave towards him

  115. number one and towards his fellow men. Hallelujah. And like

  116. Jesus said, the whole summary of all the commandments that

  117. God has given in this way, they just come back

  118. to two two conjoined with thou shalt love the Lord

  119. thy God with all thy heart, all thy soul, all

  120. thy mind, and all thy strength. So you can understand

  121. when he says you cannot save God and man. He said,

  122. the number one rule is to love God. It didn't

  123. and then you can love money. Now look at the

  124. second one, and you shall your neighbor as yourself. Amen.

  125. So the salmon on the mountain, let's go to this one. Now,

  126. chapter five we went over. Let's quickly rake up is

  127. very helpful, he says. So he seized the crowds, and

  128. then he well goes up on the mountains, and then

  129. when he sat down, his disciples came to him. Hallelujah.

  130. The disciples gathered around him so that he could instruct

  131. them with the power of his word. Amen, he said,

  132. being transformed by the renewing of the mind, if we

  133. are going to be able to be the men and

  134. the women that God created us to be, we are said,

  135. we are deconstructing the old man. We are demolishing the

  136. old man with its ideas. Hallelujah. And these ideas has

  137. been shaped by culture and the way of life, the

  138. environment that we grew up in. All those years that

  139. we were not attending church, all those years and seasons

  140. that we were not reading the Word, all those years

  141. that we didn't understand the Word, and therefore we were

  142. not applying the rules of God, the principles of God

  143. in our daily living. Then Satan had sway over our hearts,

  144. and the damn mad was just increasing and deepning. That's

  145. why we say that the damn Madge is quite substantial,

  146. So when you come to God, it is not automatic. Yes,

  147. he says that all things are new. There is the

  148. need for a renewal of the mind. Attitudes has to

  149. be reformed, the old man has to be demolished and

  150. the new man constructed by the power and agency of

  151. the Word of God. Amen, Hallelujah. Amen. So the disciples,

  152. and the disciples we define it are the lenders, those

  153. who have given their lives to Jesus, and they are

  154. positioning well to hear him now instructing because of the

  155. Holy Spirit. If you don't get gone again and you

  156. don't have the Holy Spirit what we are doing in church,

  157. you will never be able to understand it. You always

  158. criticize the word of God, but ultimately you are one

  159. the one going to be the loser. People are making

  160. headway in the Kingdom of God. Amen. Sometimes we deceive ourselves,

  161. and so everybody doesn't believe God. No or nobody believes

  162. it's not true. There are always people who believe. Say

  163. a big Amen. In line. I thought that all the

  164. people who had resulted in his day had gone in

  165. all Israel, gone worshiping bad. But God told him said no, no, no, no, no, no,

  166. and what did God say. He said, I. He didn't

  167. say some people who on their own, He said, I

  168. have preserved for myself seven thousand people that have not

  169. dared to bow to the gods of bad. You think

  170. everybody likes money and worshiping money. No, there are some

  171. people who are not bowing to the gods of God,

  172. so they can't save God. When you have the spirit

  173. of God, you know you understand you own debate that

  174. God doesn't want us to have money. After all, money

  175. is the creation of God. Amen. Remember he says that

  176. Survi is mine and the God is mine. So he

  177. created this. So al who says that God doesn't want

  178. us to be rich, it's not true. God wants us.

  179. He created it for man. But he said, well, sick ye. First,

  180. the Kingdom of God and is righteousness, and all these

  181. other things, including the wealth, it shall be added onto you.

  182. That's what we are saying. We are bringing order. We

  183. are not saying that money is not good. Money is bad. No,

  184. we need it and God will give it to us.

  185. Say amen, hallelujah. All the projects that we listed, we've

  186. been enable to do it because God gave us the money.

  187. And then we also gave it to God, hallelujah, and

  188. the church to do the things that we've been able

  189. to do. Amen. So we can't what the text is saying.

  190. It's not saying that money is bad, money is good.

  191. Say amen. But the order order, order God first, order

  192. God fast Halley Loujah. Amen. So the what qualifies as

  193. for discipleship is that foundational stone embracing Jesus Christ as

  194. our Lord and our Savior. And it means that subsequently

  195. we're going to go to the Word. We're going to

  196. read the Word. Like we said automatic. If you like

  197. enrollment in the School of the Spirit, the Holy Spirit

  198. will drive you on your knees. He will energize you

  199. for prayer. He will just quicking you so that you

  200. want to go and read the Word of God. When

  201. you were not born again, you didn't understand the Word

  202. of God. You were aiming afraid of opening the Bible,

  203. and the Bible was gathering at your bed side. But

  204. all of us Saturday, now that you are born again

  205. and you have the Holy Spirit of God, there's a

  206. certain quickening, there's a certain release to take the Word

  207. of God and open it and begin to read it.

  208. And as you are reading it, all of a sudden,

  209. boom boom, boom boom, you understand it, and you agreed.

  210. I can't do this for God. I can live for God. Amen.

  211. I can't break the power of sin over my life.

  212. The energy comes from God. That is how we all

  213. did it. You can't do it any other way. Hallelujah.

  214. By going through the ABC's and the steps. So did

  215. the multitude that came in that day. They were disciples.

  216. They were hungry. When you get born again. We have

  217. been running to church up till now, and we are running,

  218. still running. There's boundless energy to always be in the

  219. presence of God. David said, well, he said, I was

  220. glad when they said, unto me. Let us go into

  221. the House of the Lord. By five o'clock you are up, hallelujah.

  222. If you sleep on Sunday and wake up at six,

  223. you'll get late to church or somebody yeah, who wakes

  224. up as SI sing, you will be late. That's why

  225. every day you are late. Can you change you to

  226. five and see whether you come late? Hallelujah? Oh, somebody say, megain, hallelujah.

  227. Start waking up at five. And then when we say oh,

  228. the start starts and put on some gospel music. Amen,

  229. and change the atmosphere in your house, say a and

  230. dry the demons. So everyone there demos, but you need

  231. to drive them away. We're playing anointed and singing anointed music. Hallelujah.

  232. When is when? It's when? When when the atmosphere changed,

  233. something will just start in your kick? Can you that

  234. I need to go to church. I need to go

  235. to church. I need to go to church. Hallelujah Amen.

  236. And seeing the multitudes, he went up on the mountain,

  237. and when he was seated, his disciples came to him

  238. a man Verse two. Then he opened his mouth and

  239. taught them tend to someone and say you need to

  240. be taught. Amen, halleluyer. Amen. And then let's look at

  241. some of the things that he taught them that day.

  242. The Bible. The scholars have called it the be attitudes.

  243. Let's say be attitudes. Men. Let's put that way there,

  244. the be attitude. So you look at it, you say

  245. it's TRUO, isn't it be? Let it be your attitude,

  246. be attitudes. Be. Let this be your attitude. Amen, be attitude.

  247. Let this be your attitude. Hal theluyer. Amen. And then

  248. he goes on and begins to educate us. As we said,

  249. the objective is to read's. The objective is to transform minds.

  250. Remember we say, what defines a man? Your thoughts, your words,

  251. your actions, your thoughts, your words, your action, your thoughts,

  252. your words, your actions, actions that you repeat every time,

  253. every time, it becomes a habit. Amen. As you continue

  254. to stay in that habit, now it becomes to dictate

  255. your character. Amen. Some people who have said this twenty

  256. one day rule, but I doubt that twenty one day

  257. it works. That if you repeat something but you can't try,

  258. if you repeat something al for twenty one continuous day,

  259. it will become a habit. Amen, hallelujah. But that is

  260. the point we are making. Amen. Your attitude is shaped

  261. by thoughts, words, action. Where are those thoughts coming from?

  262. The enviroments that we grow, the things that we see,

  263. the way we conversations we hear. Amen. You should be

  264. tired by now of some of the radio talk shows

  265. that you listen to. They are shaping your mind. Amen.

  266. Celebra celebrity talking about typhon. Amen. And because it's the

  267. celebrity who said it. Oh now, and then I a

  268. drink bacon, because I are celebrity, the person you're celebrity.

  269. I said, now cafe and yamy're celebrity. Helah, Amen, celebrity

  270. bar coupe. Hallelujah. Amen. You know, so as you are

  271. listening to all these celebrity talk shows and all those things,

  272. then they are shaping your mind. Amen. And then before

  273. you realize you are, and then the people around you,

  274. your association, the conversations that you are having. Amen. I

  275. told you about that that that sister I went to

  276. sitting close to in in I think it was a

  277. funeral or something, and they were doing a fund raising

  278. and the past I said, andre cilly, why then said

  279. dot hi sah and and I'm in firm and she

  280. didn't know me something some villay, hallelujah. Amen. If somebody

  281. else was sitting there and she was saying, I'm Paul,

  282. not just when your companion, hallelujah, who was cut dabb

  283. Now they come out. Sorry. All these attitudes are floating

  284. around and we grow, we grow in the community, in

  285. the US environment. They shape our actions, hallelujah. And so

  286. Jesus was mindful of reversing some of this, and so

  287. the first thing he takes them through here hallelujah. Amen.

  288. Is that he said, blessed and the poor in spirit

  289. had luyer for us is the kingdom. And we said

  290. that he's talking about humble hearts, poor in spirit, humble hats.

  291. They are receptive to the word of God. They acknowledge

  292. God as savior and Lord, and they are prepared to

  293. do anything to please God and to end a place

  294. in the Kingdom of God. That's what he says, pleasure

  295. are the poor in spirit? Listened to it again when

  296. the Bible Jesus was trying to corey more. Let Jesus

  297. is saying, have humble hearts, be receptive to the word

  298. of God, acknowledge God as your savior and your Lord,

  299. and be prepared to do anything to please God. And

  300. by so doing you any place in the Kingdom of God.

  301. So more less if you are not humble in hat,

  302. you can't be. I don't want people to waste your

  303. time in church in the Kingdom of God. Amen. No,

  304. that's not a mandate. That mandate is to teach and

  305. to do it so that you will see hallelujah. And

  306. we all we will serve God with fear, because there

  307. is a heaven that is awaiting us say a big Amen, Hallnluiah.

  308. So humble hearts receptive to the word of God. They

  309. acknowledge Jesus as your savior and their Lord, and they

  310. are prepared to do anything to please God and earn

  311. a place in the kingdom. They understand that they have

  312. been saved and redeemed to serve God. They have seven

  313. like hearts and attitudes that I belong to God because

  314. the word of God says is I will do it.

  315. I don't listen to anybody, but what the word of

  316. God says. Look, if we too just the word of

  317. God for his face value, the way God will bless you.

  318. Harlee Lujiah. That is how we got to be changed.

  319. And the new man gets constructed. Take the word of

  320. God on his face. But hallelujah Amen. And then in

  321. verse four he said, blessed are those who moan, for

  322. they shall be comforted. And he's talking about self denial

  323. of the ungodly lifestyle and comforts of this world that

  324. this places God. God says, no, no, I'm saying no.

  325. Hen't find the actual almost said no, mon, sir, I

  326. am saying no, Maam, And yes, sir, guineas guineas yet

  327. say drew, Yes, guineas m drew and he said, cried

  328. mo Halenlujah Jesus. Blessed are those who moaned for this

  329. child and the mom person see an I see a boy,

  330. missus merkle Beach, Miss mircle Beach will be called Jimmyne.

  331. Pearson added, hall Olijah. Then, but you, the one who

  332. has the spirit of God, he said, Blessed are those

  333. who moan, I won't do it. I'm depriving myself at

  334. taraba and bathroom and family and her bacon anybody based

  335. Miss mass Shabby. Blessed are those two more, for they

  336. shall be comforsed. So he's talking about self denial of

  337. the ungodly life styles and comforts of this world that

  338. displeases God. Amen, that's fine, he said. Blessed and the meek,

  339. for they shall inherit the blessed. The meek are those

  340. who are submissive to the authority of God in all

  341. their choices in life, in all their choices in life

  342. seven like hearts in attitude. And Jesus is saying that

  343. you will be blessed. You will be blessed. And Jesus

  344. is God. And when Jesus says, you will be blessed,

  345. you will be blessed. There are almost seven thousand promises

  346. in the world of God for the children of God,

  347. and all it is all about one thing. God said,

  348. I will bless you. I will bless you in this

  349. life and then particularly in the life hereafter. That is

  350. why we choose to mourn. Now. That is I won't
