  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.

  24. That's six.

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

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

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

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

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

  30. Jesus speaking, and the occasion on which he makes this

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

  32. the Salmon on the mount.

  33. Hallelujah. Amen.

  34. And last Wednesday I was saying that the same one

  35. on the mound passes through Marth fu chapter five, chapter six,

  36. and then Matthew chapter seven, very very long discourse on

  37. setting values that Jesus Christ was hoping that the citizens

  38. of the kingdom, those of us that God.

  39. Has called as a privilege.

  40. It's all right, he says in his word that Jacoby loved,

  41. but so have I hated. Just to tell us that

  42. God discriminates. Amen, It's an amazing and wonderful privilege to

  43. be called a child of God.

  44. It's not everybody who can come. Amen.

  45. God extends and to setting the coolier people and says you,

  46. I love you, you, I want you to come into

  47. a relationship with me you. I want to be your dad.

  48. You. I want to bless you.

  49. And when God determines that I'm going to save you

  50. so I can bless you, no power on earth is

  51. able to frustrate him all then.

  52. Louisa, even you yourself.

  53. We know about the story of a Paul, Saul Paul,

  54. so we know that this was someone who was going

  55. around chasing Christians, beating them up, locking them and supervising

  56. their killing. God says you, I just love you. I'll

  57. save you. Amen, And once on another mission to go

  58. and do that executives diabolic plan, God.

  59. Accosted him and saved him. Amen.

  60. You know so the Bible is very clear. You know

  61. that there are certain categories of people. God, by his

  62. own act of will and grace, we just save you.

  63. We just hand pick you and save you. Harry Me.

  64. I mean, I know I'm one Haed Louiah, and I'm

  65. so glad he did. Hallelujah. He says that I'm found

  66. by those who are not seeking for me. But then, yes,

  67. so the invitation host whosoever believes will not perish but

  68. have everlasted their life. So, in a sense, even though

  69. we are saying God discriminates, it doesn't discriminate. The invitation

  70. is open to all humankind. God so loved the world,

  71. and that includes you, whether a clear God so loved

  72. as that he gave He's only begotten son, that whoso

  73. ever believes should not perish, but have ever last in life.

  74. Amy. So the invitation stands.

  75. For or who will hear the invitation, mistake a decision

  76. and respond.

  77. And I'm saying that there's a certain critic.

  78. Cammas of people that God, in his own judgment and

  79. wisdom and grace, despite your protestations, he will save you

  80. because you and I were designed and created for accepting

  81. particular peoples of His Amen, Hale Louier. And so if

  82. you find yourself in church is an amazing privilege.

  83. Amen.

  84. And so on this occasion, as we are saying the

  85. Salmon of the Mound, Jesus Christ had gathered all the

  86. people that had gathered around him were the disciples, the people,

  87. the men and the women, all categories of people.

  88. Who are signed up and had embraced his teachings.

  89. His if you like philosophy or way and manner of

  90. life that he came to teach human kind.

  91. Remember, Jesus was no ordinary person.

  92. The Gospel writers and all the New Testament let us

  93. understand that Jesus was the son of God, of God incarnate.

  94. Halleluiah.

  95. God took on the form of a human being and

  96. entered his creation so that he could instruct them about

  97. the ways of the Lord.

  98. Hallelujah.

  99. A man, God has a way, a man that he

  100. wants and expects the entire creation to behave a kind

  101. of attitude that he wants us to display number one

  102. towards him and then number two towards our fellow men.

  103. Amen, very very important.

  104. We can all understand and I appreciate what is born

  105. again experience. It's all about what it means to handle

  106. over your life. He says, what it means to be

  107. going to church regularly, hallelujah, so that we don't.

  108. Reduce it to a routine.

  109. God wants to save us, and God wants to save everybody.

  110. Every talk back and hurry that he has the invitation.

  111. God wants to save us, halleluia. And he has paid

  112. the price. And sometimes we don't understand this. There's a

  113. lot of contention over your life, every one of us,

  114. even the young people. You look through the scriptures and

  115. you will see it. Hallelujah. When the enemy attacks, it

  116. doesn't just attack adults. He attacks us and our children

  117. and everybody.

  118. Halleluiah. Amen.

  119. That is why during the age of innocence, they are

  120. dependent on their parents, what we do and what we

  121. refuse to do.

  122. Halleluia. Amen. Now they are innocence.

  123. So God, if you like, put us or puts them

  124. in our child and that is why you must be

  125. tough and you must be strong to cover them him.

  126. It's coming on grace and message to power them with

  127. your prayers. And so you'd rather use the word your

  128. attitude towards God will affect the security, safety, protext ship

  129. of your children, Helen Louiah.

  130. Amen.

  131. If your attitude towards God and the things of God

  132. are safe, anything goes Anyhow. When we say pray, you

  133. won't pray your children, and the enemy are opening the

  134. doors for the enemy to attack your children, and one

  135. day they'll blame you.

  136. They don't know. Amen. One of the things that.

  137. The devil dislikes is for us to instruct our children

  138. in the in the in the world of God. So

  139. you are not doing your pietype How what are you

  140. going to instact the children in the ways of the

  141. law with what Helen Louis. You can't give what you

  142. don't have.

  143. Amen.

  144. So when letters my man or my sword, and you

  145. think that what God is saying about you in heaven,

  146. Helen Louiah, any time God be God by me baying

  147. me bay you are soon, mam. That's reading. That's the

  148. same charge that you are giving your children. They used

  149. to are complaining they have done everything to save you.

  150. You are they're not saving you. Quiet time home ber

  151. halle Luier, prayer, start that no show. Launch our no show,

  152. Halen Louiah. Midweek Friday prayers, no show. So who is

  153. covering your children for you? Past us? Okay, we'll do

  154. our best, but there's a certain limitating that we can do.

  155. They are your responsibility, Halen Luier. It is not the

  156. Sunday school teachers. They are your responsibility when they come home,

  157. to cover them with your prayers and your word prayer,

  158. and the word is counseling.

  159. That is how God responds to our prayers.

  160. So prayer, prayer, prayer alone without talking to the children,

  161. and don't it won't work. Talk to them. Take the

  162. word of God, talk to them, read the word of

  163. God to them. Say this is what the word of

  164. God's saying. And you and me, we are all going.

  165. To do it.

  166. That's how the children lay. When Daddy is doing Mamy

  167. is doing it, they'll.

  168. Also do it.

  169. Say amen, halenelujah, you will say you will with the

  170. air passed, so no, when you are coming, then you

  171. put them in your pocket.

  172. And then you come. Halenluiah. Amen, they will come.

  173. They don't have any they don't have any any choice, Halenluiah.

  174. That's how it is done. Amen.

  175. And then as we cover them with our Christ, with

  176. our prayers, with our petitions to to to a loving

  177. and a kind and merciful God. God, God, God is merciful. Amen,

  178. God is merciful for me.

  179. For me. I just know that these children here because.

  180. Of our prayers and our intercessions and Christ, God will

  181. save them. Say amen, may I believe, halln lujah. God

  182. will save them. Because we'll talk them praying fast over

  183. the man.

  184. One day they're coming say my break, my pay hallelujah.

  185. We've seen it.

  186. All over the years, people from other places who.

  187. Came, Why not our children? We first and pray for.

  188. Other people's children to be delivered. They came, and then

  189. they come and say, past my pidion, my pay my breath,

  190. and we see what God has done in our life,

  191. and then our own children.

  192. No, hallelujah Amen Amen. So we are so on the salmon.

  193. On the mountain, our attitude to us for bringing all

  194. that in our giving.

  195. Hallelujah Amen.

  196. And as I said, this is the Salmon on the mound,

  197. Jesus Christ at all the disciples had gathered around him,

  198. you know, so that they could listen to him. Halenelujah.

  199. And then we just invest one and say that. Yes,

  200. he said. One day, as he saw the crowds gathering,

  201. Jesus went up on the mountain side and sat down,

  202. and his disciples gothered around it. I think we have

  203. been saying something when we keep on going over the

  204. same truths and peerless and the foundations of the faith.

  205. Now when you grasp it, when you grasp it, you

  206. will live for God and God will ana you when

  207. you and not God God will ana you.

  208. God will bless you. God will bless you and your children.

  209. God it's a generational blessing.

  210. There's too much blessing in heaven and waiting to be

  211. dispatched to the people of this head.

  212. Say Amen to that. And God is so resourceful.

  213. God is so blessing owns everything that the blessings they

  214. are stripped the people.

  215. Hallelujah. Amen.

  216. God created a very vast and wealthy universe. Hallelujah. And

  217. so there is enough as far as God is consent,

  218. there is enough in heaven for all the children of God.

  219. And God is just waiting hallelujah. So that we begin

  220. to anna him. He says, ana you, hallelujah. And then

  221. it means that going to bless their life. The things

  222. that we're going to. We keep on saying, he will

  223. show us grace and messes and pardon. When we're singing

  224. and we confess, he will forgive us. He will lift

  225. us up, and he will strengthen us. Hallelujah. He will protect,

  226. he will preserve us, and he will provide for every

  227. legitimate needs.

  228. In our lives. Haley Lujiah. It will help us in

  229. our education. Amen.

  230. He will pay the children's school fees. Say amen, Harlene Louia.

  231. They will all become big people. Say amen, and by

  232. big people, I mean blessed people. Helene, just market on

  233. the world. But for now they are working in innocence.

  234. We are the ones who must boldly and courageously take

  235. the place we know about Hannah. Look at what Anna

  236. did in the life of his sons. Somewhere at the

  237. age and the Bible's CALLEDSS. Believe that someone was taken

  238. to Ellen in Shiloh when he was about five years old.

  239. He said, win, well, I mean I'm out. Were your

  240. babies when you win them? Hallelujah? I when we are

  241. winning earlier, isn't it three two three by two? Some

  242. some are doing one year because of carrier and all

  243. those things by the old days, maybe three five years,

  244. you know, yes, And before and then Anna took him

  245. to go and say God Hallnelujah, a man and spoke

  246. was able to persuade him to behave in south in Shiloh. Now,

  247. what's well Hophni and Phinnish horse were doing plying their trade.

  248. Halle you're very very too bad boys, two bad priests, hallelujah.

  249. And the young boy someone was there and yes, because

  250. of the worst that Mamahannah spoken into his life. And

  251. every year when they came for the sacrifices, and the

  252. first season, he will just conner him some way. She

  253. will connor him and speak into his life. Don't copy

  254. me and finas, Amen, don't copy and speak that to

  255. their children before they go to school.

  256. Every day.

  257. You know you look at there are people out there

  258. or setance against they are there.

  259. They are speaking to your children. You are not speaking

  260. to them.

  261. So somebody else is speaking to them, hallelujah and giving

  262. them all the wrong attitudes and things. So it is

  263. because of this that Jesus was addressed. We see if

  264. the samon on the one, Jesus opens up so that

  265. he can teach us, if you like, some counter values

  266. that the well, the well, the culture that is in

  267. the world, the values that people have embraced, the values

  268. that you and I lived in before we met Jesus Christ.

  269. As we have been saying, there is the need for

  270. a deconstruction.

  271. Amen.

  272. The old man must go. Hallelujah. He said, if any

  273. man being Christ second Cat. Five seventeen, beold, the old

  274. is gone, all things are new. How is the all

  275. going to go and never spring up? Be able to

  276. spring up again? The word of God hallelujah, amen, because

  277. we need that attitude not change. And what does the

  278. trick is the word, the word Jesus said, the weather

  279. that I speak.

  280. They are spirit, they are life. Amen.

  281. They have the power to be able to break down

  282. strongholds of the mind. Speak the word to the everyone

  283. you and then do the piet type doing the devorce

  284. inal life. Speak to them. You look, children, you need

  285. to speak to them. If adults we need over and

  286. over and over, how much more the children hallelujah Amen,

  287. over and over and over and over and over. One

  288. day they will sit up there and says, this is

  289. what mammy has been saying. I would do it so

  290. that you should stop worrying me. Amen, hallelujah Amen. Our

  291. children they will tell you. And they were going to

  292. school from from when we're seeing at plus two, that's

  293. right to read it. By the time they every day

  294. they were hearing the semon Haley loujah, and they would

  295. do all tar called before they get to school every morning, hallnlujah.

  296. So later they preferred Daddy taking them to school to

  297. go ask.

  298. Me that he will play music.

  299. My mommy will give them their salmon for the day

  300. and then we'll leave them and then they pray their

  301. singer's prayer.

  302. And they did it. Tell it registered Halen Louiah. Amen.

  303. Amen, you have to adopt all kinds of tricks, the

  304. tricks of of tactics and things that that's so they

  305. will get it and in some way somehow, because we

  306. save a very merciful God got to help us, because

  307. God wants to save them. Remember what he told Abraham

  308. when he was going. He says, I know, I know

  309. that Abraham will instract his children in the ways of

  310. the Lord.

  311. I know.

  312. That is why he whispered to him what he was

  313. about to do in Sodom and Gomora.

  314. I know, Halleluia Inmen.

  315. So the samee on the mount, as I'm saying, was

  316. an opportunity for Jesus Christ to speak into the life

  317. of his disciple. Number one, to reverse the damage that

  318. has been done, the wrong attitudes, the wrong perceptions from

  319. our living in an environment that Satan has taken control of,

  320. halle Luier, the values of the world, the godless values.

  321. Halle Luier. They needed to hear. Amen.

  322. And then number two, some of the things that you know,

  323. save Dan is very very clever.

  324. Amen.

  325. If we go back to the garden of eating. How

  326. did he make our first experience? For he took the

  327. word and twisted the word. Amen, has God said you

  328. shall not eat? And then Mama even said, oh yeah,

  329. I said that we shall eat it. He said, which

  330. would need to be touch it? So he himself, he said,

  331. God himself knows that when you eat it, you won't

  332. die by Rather, you're going to be wiser, Amen, and

  333. be able to take if you like, independent actions, and'll

  334. be like God. So the word that God had given,

  335. that is what sais. And you had a ride up.

  336. So Jesus comes in and the samon on the mound.

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

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

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

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

  341. There are a lot of people out here that.

  342. Like you, always say I like you, always using type

  343. ask what type of dear?

  344. Don't pay your time?

  345. So sometimes there are people in church they sten, oh

  346. type a trump, May I say, I don't like if

  347. you say you want to be legalistic?

  348. Okay a truth? Can we go to the new testament.

  349. Can you hear poor telling us so generously and you

  350. shall read generously, Amen, giving above yourself and your ability

  351. to give.

  352. So all the teachings are there, but you will never

  353. be able to understand all these things.

  354. Well if the first key foundational is to of being

  355. a disciple of Jesus, is not there?

  356. Amen?

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

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

  359. not just a savior but also that's amen.

  360. So these were the people that were guarded.

  361. There no doubt that at the end of it, the

  362. xclamation is that, wow, Wow, what a word. He teaches

  363. us with authority and with power Halem Louiah.

  364. Amen. And so he is the person it is it

  365. is on this occasion that he gives us. There. Can

  366. we come back to the best one?

  367. Can we quickly go to the six twenty four, the

  368. theme for the month. Let's take a look at it.

  369. Halvi says, no one can save two masters?

  370. Who are these masters?

  371. Or you will hate one and love the other, Amen,

  372. mutually exclusive. It says you can't, Amen, you will be

  373. devoted to.

  374. One and despise the other.

  375. What is he talking about you cannot say both God

  376. and money say huge statement, that is earth moving money.

  377. Money is a defense, Money is an answer.

  378. To all things. Money, we say, is power. So how

  379. can God says the more sorry, and which one offering?

  380. And let's stay here, We'll go anywhere?

  381. Yeah, may yeah, yeah, yes you can, yeah, yes, you can.

  382. Hear the yeah.

  383. He said you can't save God and money. How are

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

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

  386. God is speaking, mean that Jesus is a liar?

  387. Oh they did. I think that.

  388. There's a certain meaning that we are not getting. And

  389. then we say, let's go and pray about it. Everything,

  390. let's pack it and go and pray about it. But

  391. to say that we cannot save both God and money,

  392. making the two things mutually exclusive either you are here

  393. or there, then Jesus could not have meant what he

  394. was saying. Amen, hallelujah. But the Jesus meaning. So, that's

  395. why I'm saying that. And to be able to appreciate this,

  396. we need to go back. That's why we're going back.

  397. We are picking all the truths once again from the

  398. whole salmon, and so that we can put all in context,

  399. trying to see how best he can correct the attitudes

  400. that we are formed growing up in the communities, seeing

  401. if you like life being modeled, and the Bible life

  402. tries to tell us that the life that we are

  403. seeing it is not the life that God had in

  404. mind when he created the world.

  405. Hallelujah.

  406. God had a certain blueprint that he wanted all his

  407. creation and all his creatures, especially man, that he created

  408. in his imail and in his likeness and attitude that

  409. he needed to behave towards him number one and towards

  410. his fellow men.

  411. Hallelujah. And like Jesus said.

  412. The whole summary of all the commandments that God has

  413. given in this work, they just come back to two

  414. two conjoined with thou shalt love the Lord thy God

  415. with all thy heart, all thy soul, all thy mind,

  416. and all thy strength. So you can understand when he

  417. says you cannot save God and man. He said the

  418. number one rule is to love God. It didn't say

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

  420. second one, and you shall love your neighbor as yourself.

  421. Amen.

  422. So the salmon on the mountain. Let's go to this one. Now,

  423. chapter five, we went over. Let's quickly wake up. It's

  424. very helpful, he says. So he sees the crowds, and

  425. then he well goes up on the mountains. And then

  426. when he sat down, his disciples came to him. Alleluiah.

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

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

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

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

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

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

  433. old man with its ideas, Harlene Louiah. And these ideas

  434. has been shaped by culture and the way of the.

  435. Environment that we grew up in.

  436. All those years that we were not attending church, all

  437. those years and seasons that we were not reading the Word,

  438. all those years that we didn't understand the Word, and

  439. therefore we were not applying the rules of God, the

  440. principles of God in our daily living. Then certain hat

  441. swear over our hearts, and the damn made was just

  442. increasing and deepning. That's why we say that the damage

  443. is quite substantial. So when you come to God, it

  444. is not automatic. Yes, he says that all things are new.

  445. There is a need for renew You are of the mind.

  446. Attitudes has to be reformed. The old man has to

  447. be demolished and the new man constructed by the power

  448. and agency of the Word of God.

  449. Amen, hallelujah. Amen.

  450. So the disciples, and the disciples we define it are

  451. the lenders, those who have given their lives to Jesus,

  452. and they are positioning well to hear him now instructing

  453. because of the Holy Spirit. If you don't get born

  454. again and you don't have the Holy Spirit what we

  455. are doing in church, you will never be able to

  456. understand it. You always criticize the word of God, but

  457. ultimately you are wonder the one going to be the loser.

  458. People are making headway in the Kingdom of God.

  459. Amen.

  460. Sometimes we deceive ourselves, and so everybody does in believe God.

  461. No or nobody believes it's not true. There are always

  462. people who believe. Say a big Amen, elike. I thought

  463. that all the people who had resulted in his day

  464. had gone in all is rather God worshiping bath.

  465. But God told him said.

  466. No, no, no, no, no, no, and.

  467. What did God say? He said, I.

  468. He didn't say some people who on their own, He said,

  469. I have preserved for myself seven thousand people that have

  470. not dared to bow to the gods of Bath. You

  471. think everybody likes money and worshiping money.

  472. No, there are some people.

  473. Who are not bowing to the gods of God, so

  474. they can't save God. When you have the spirit of God,

  475. you know you understand you own debate that God doesn't

  476. want us to have money. After all, money is the

  477. creation of God inmen. Remember, he says that Survi is

  478. mine and the God is mind.

  479. So he created this.

  480. A who says that God doesn't want us to be rich,

  481. it's not true.

  482. God wants us. He created it for man.

  483. But he said, well, sick he first the Kingdom of

  484. God and is righteousness, and all these other things, including

  485. the wealth. It shall be added on to you that

  486. what we are saying we are bringing order. We are

  487. not saying that money is not good. Money is bad. No,

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

  489. Say Amen, hallelujah. All the projects that we listed, we've

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

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

  492. the check to do the things that we've been able

  493. to do.

  494. Amen.

  495. So we can't What the text is saying is not

  496. saying that money is bad, money is good. Say Amen,

  497. but the order, Order, Order, God faced, Order, God faced hallelujah.
