-
man of God and the teacher of the Word. In
-
this truth and simplicity. Make time with us each and
-

-
God richly loves you. Welcome to the logo streamer are
-
with God Save and Reverend Doctor Joseph ba Being, Head
-
Pastor of Harvest Chapel International Commercy. And now to today's message.
-
Amen, let's take a confession from Joshua and best eight
-
best book of the Law, shallow depart out of my mouth,
-
that I shall meditate in a day and night, that
-
I may observe to do according to all that just
-
rated it. But then I will make my way prospered,
-
and then I will have good success. Amen, as we
-
welcome each other into the presence of God. And Amen,
-
and so in this man's as we are looking very
-
very important subjects of bringing order in our giving life
-
as individuals, as families, and I believe in as a church.
-
Halleluia haleeluia Amen. So I'm going to read through the
-
semon on the Mountain and comment if there's the need
-
for it, so we reach, as I said, the passage
-
or truth that concerns our attitude towards giving to God
-
and particularly the context within which God makes this definitive
-
statement concerning our attitude towards God and my mom. And
-
you're going to hear some very shocking statements here, Amen,
-
But let's look. So that's one. Let's go, he says,
-
and seeing the multitudes, he went up on the mountain,
-
and when he was seated, his disciples came to him
-
that there's two. Lets go to two.
-
Then you open his mouth and taught them.
-
There's the place that the command that I want to
-
make is that there's the need for us to be
-
taught and edicated concending kingdom principles and values. If we
-
are going to be able to have a healthy church
-
is very very important.
-
Halle lujah. Amen.
-
What Satan dislikes most and is scared of is the
-
word of God.
-
So if you have a church and by church, we
-
mean they envy do us.
-
If you're a believer and the Word of God is
-
central in your life, you will be a winner. You
-
will be a winner. Amen. There's no way you're going
-
to fail. Contrary, if you despise, you don't like the
-
word of God, you will fail human opinions, you will
-
fail the customs, the traditions of men. Somewhere somehow you
-
will fail. Will you will impane? Isn't it? The world
-
has a different attitude towards money or even giving our
-
lives and giving our time, talents and treasures to God.
-
Have been to how many times I've been to head
-
that you are serving God too much? And your attitude
-
is positive attitude every time check it is too much.
-
And we are talking about our creator, We are talking
-
about our inventor, and the we're people in the world
-
are saying we give too much time to God. Halen Loujah. Amen,
-
let's go on now. As I said, we're going to
-
read through as much as we can. I said, then
-
I'm listening to him now. He's laying down the Kingdom principles,
-
the expectations that he has for us. He said, blessed
-
and translation we say happy are the poor in spirit?
-
For years is the kingdom of God, humble hearts towards God,
-
the attitude that they have, the disposition that they have. Yes,
-
I may have had an education. I am a very
-
old person. I'm a very resourceful and very successful person.
-
But when it comes to the word of God, I'm
-
going to give first place to the word and authority
-
of God. Poor in spirit, I will allow the word
-
of God to order my footsteps. Because God's word says it,
-
I am going to take it. And then everybody is
-
shaking your head. No way, after all my education, after
-
all that lending the university. No, not the word of God,
-
the philosophies of our day and time. Poor in spirit,
-
we don't want to submit to the authority of the Word.
-
Then he says that if like we are saying, the
-
word of God, your ball means make it, for this
-
is the kingdom of Heaven. But for pleased are those
-
who mourn, for they shall be comfort. Telling us about
-
our current state, Look, there is no way you can
-
make this journey, which she says with our self denial,
-
we moan sometimes when they are going to all the places.
-
I'm sure a lot of us if but for God's
-
swear and all that we have learnt in church, every
-
every holiday will also be at beach side. Hallelujah. Amen.
-
Every holiday all the jams will all be there and
-
also have some of the facts. But then the word
-
of God says no, and you hear the spirit of
-
God echoing the same. No, it's not for you, and
-
we say no, So we deny ourselves I P I
-
p Twenty one day first and of man first, breakfast first. Amen.
-
We moan, but he says what one day we shall
-
be comforted. Hallelujah. Amen.
-
There's five.
-
Let's go on. Blessed are the meek, or they shall
-
in hell the earth. God is applauding your humility, your meekness,
-
your submission to the authority.
-
Of the Word of God.
-
Keep it in focus the way the authority of the
-
Word of God. These are principles and values that undgets
-
the kingdom of God. Six. Blessed are those who hunger
-
and first for righteousness. They shall be feeled. Like we said,
-
you have to be determined. It doesn't just come. They
-
first and hunger for it. They go for it. They
-
don't want to be stabbed. When they are stabbed, they
-
reach out until they are satisfied. They test for righteous,
-
they get it wrong, the Lord corrects. Then they are
-
open to correction, and they go for it again until
-
they get it right. It said many and the Righteous
-
manager for all how many times seven times, But there
-
will always be the spirit of God giving them a
-
helpin hand.
-
You can't do better.
-
Rise up. Then they take their hand, and then they
-
go again until they get it right. The hunger and
-
thirst for riteous neck. When they make mistakes, they don't
-
throw in the towel and say that's it. I'm out
-
of this place. Like I said, like people are quitting.
-
I can't do it. The word of God. There's no
-
way you can live it out in the twenty first century,
-
and so a lot of people quit church, they quit God,
-
and then they imbibe the philosophies of the and beking
-
to lead according to his dictators and prices. Young man
-
will be ediqua young lady will be in church. Immediately
-
they go to school, they say, now I'm old. I
-
don't want anything to do with the Word of God.
-
They stop singing in the choir, they stop coming to church,
-
doing all the things that they were doing, and then
-
they just reject God. Harley Louiah a man Verse seven,
-
Blessed are the merciful for this child, Lord, obtain mercy.
-
Amen, it's sypro car. You read what you see.
-
He's so mercy. You read mercy eight blessed and the
-
peo in her but they shall see God childlike attitude,
-
peore in her childlike attitude. This is what my dad
-
has said. That's all. That's what the word of God says.
-
That's all. God is true. And the thing about the
-
Word of God is that Look, that's why we say.
-
The Holy Spirit is the teacher.
-
When you open it and then you read it, the
-
simple logic of it, the comprehension of it. Boom, it
-
is your heart. That's it. Give and it shall be
-
giving back to you, no debate. You take it on
-
that phace b Look it will work for you. But
-
ah past that this give What does God mean by
-
give to? My mother has paid typho and God's God
-
and then my mother I know they are red black type.
-
They type them money and then they gave me some.
-
And you are saying that should type.
-
And know your in heart.
-
And your hat. What did the words say didn't bring
-
all the clauses that you are asking me about. Immediately,
-
you know the person is making an argument about the
-
illogicity of the word of God. It's not logical. God,
-
let me go as pastor and make my point. And
-
I have an opinion pure in heart. God says that
-
type out type after all, after all, it belongs to him,
-
Like David will say, you gave it to us and
-
we and you have made a demand. I don't have
-
anything to say. But if you want to argue, oh,
-
you have a lot of reasons why you should in
-
obeate the word of God. Blessed and the pear in heart,
-
or they shall see God. Amen. Nine, Blessed are the
-
peace makers, for they shall be called sons of God.
-
We went over this dr inde and session on the
-
discourses in our conversations or order peace. Make be a peacemaker.
-
That's all Amen. So there's a kingdom principle. Jesus is
-
spelling up and it is deciple he is teaching them
-
because out there there's a contrast. People are not peace makers.
-
Look at the worlds that have just sprang up from nowhere.
-
So the president of one nation says that I need
-
to enlarge my territories.
-
Can we go, Let's go and bump them out.
-
Les. Ten, Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness sake,
-
for this is the Kingdom of Heaven. Let me say
-
that most of the thematic areas that Jesus speaks about,
-
ultimately you will find out that they are the peerless
-
that define our fear. And he touched on almost every
-
thematic area that has been identified as the palace.
-
Of the faith.
-
If you have them, there's no way you're not going
-
to be able to construct the New Man. Jesus touched
-
almost on all of them. Then the prayer fasting giving
-
everything he touched on them. Joining this, as I said,
-
very long session with his disciples concerning kingdom values and
-
principles and the absolute necessity of living.
-
These troops out a man.
-
He spoke about the Holy Spirit and coming to take
-
residence there all of them.
-
Be all news to them. It's the blessard are you?
-
When they revial you and persecute you and say all
-
kinds of evil against you forced me for my sake. Twelve,
-
rejoice and be exceeding the ground, for great is your
-
reward in heaven. For so they persecuted the prophets who
-
were before you. So in this verse Jesus categorizes us
-
and begins to let us know that, look, we are
-
his prophets. He spokespersis in our age, Amen in our age,
-
and what is our prophetic message? Jesus is coming again,
-
that's all. How do we believe it? Not just in words,
-
but in attitudes, the attitudes we take, the way we live,
-
our lives, compelling lifestyles that is able to market the
-
gospel that Jesus is coming. We are reward for great
-
is your reward in heaven. We are expectant that God
-
will reward us. When the last trumpet sounds, it will
-
be a signal that this world is over. We won't
-
be ratchet, we won't be left by Jesus Christ, and
-
we will go home, say a beginning man, and we
-
are not just going home to resc It says that
-
we are going to begin a new heaven and a
-
new earth project.
-
That God Us built, and that is why He's prepared.
-
I am expectant, and that is why in comparison to
-
what the rewards are, that is how come the persecution,
-
the reviling that we are going through the spirit of
-
endurance and determination sparked by the Holy Spirit. Sparked by
-
the Holy Spirit. We may weep when we are maligne,
-
when we are insulted, but will go and then the
-
Holy Spirit will strengthen us and comfort us, and then
-
we will come out with the strength and begin to
-
leave it again. They insulted us, It doesn't matter. I'm
-
taking that stand. That's it. I'm not going to be corrupt.
-
They will do everything in the workplace. I said, no,
-
I don't want to miss heaven. Hallelujah a man for
-
so they persecuted the prophets who were before. It's simple
-
prophets being healed.
-
It's no scripture.
-
There's no true prophet of God whoever got the air
-
plus of his age?
-
Amen?
-
Amen, So don't seek it. Don't go on social media
-
seeking applause in your administration, nor that people say that
-
you are a prophet and I prophesied this, and then
-
you are throwing banners and flyers all around a prophet
-
of God advertising himself for God's sake? Where is it
-
in the scriptures? Amen? We are not coming to school
-
when you read it. Not. The goal is speak Jesus Christ,
-
you know, so when his brothers were pushing him to
-
go and advertise himself on the days that they wanted
-
them to come and capture him and making king. Then
-
Bible says, this slipstart with he said, no, no, you're
-
not getting it. They're not getting it. They're not getting it,
-
like like a sister want. He says that she wanted
-
to go into politics and then came to take my
-
man said. He says, I say, you want to go
-
for polities, the politics of this world. I said, forget it.
-
He says, no, I want to go there and make
-
a difference. You know, because we must go there. We
-
must go. We must be able to make a difference.
-
When I said, hold on, who owns this world? He says, Jesus.
-
When Jesus came in, didn't you see did they come
-
to do politics? You loved the well worn and Jesus
-
the man will drafted. And then that when he came,
-
he avoided God didn't even introduce him in Herod's palace.
-
Have you seen any believer, true believers succeed in politics
-
before I said, let me tell your plans, we deceive ourselves.
-
Jesus Christ, when he came there, he should have been
-
a politician. That's not what we are being called to do.
-
To bring chain through politics. No, to make bring chain
-
through our common, every day life in the lives of
-
hurting men. Oh what about ball holes and food for
-
the hungry? Hey, hold on that. After the day that
-
he gave them the food and then fed them with
-
the fight, and when they came the next day you
-
had discourse. I know you guys are chasing me because
-
of the food that you ate. If it was all
-
about food for the hungry, he would have commanded another one.
-
He says, no, no, no, no, that's the Kingdom of
-
God is not meat and drink. Baa sound mine. Look,
-
when you get to school, the Holy Spain will teach you.
-
You're not going to school, you're not attending lectures. So
-
today when Jesus got them on the same one, the man,
-
that's what I said. It was a very long session
-
and they were all listening to him because at the
-
end of the day when they also another thing about
-
when you fight time for God, you'll never get tired
-
when the Holy Spirit is educating you. That's why I said,
-
you'll be wowing. Oh I see when they finished, they said, wow, Wow,
-
what a word. He teaches me such authority. They knew
-
that he was speaking the truth, and they were filled,
-
and they were full, Harlen Lawyer, Amen, rejoice and be
-
exceeding the glad, for great is your reward in heaven.
-
For sue they persecuted the prophets who were before you. Amen,
-
you are the sword. Now now you see it. Now
-
we can connect it and with our speech. When he
-
said that our seek, our speech, world should be seasoned
-
with salt always. Now listen to Jesus, long before Paul
-
made that statement, by the Holy spad, you have the
-
salt of the earth. But if the salt loses is flavor,
-
how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for
-
nothing but to be thrown out and trample under back.
-
You can you can feel the warning and getting that statement,
-
the warning, and that getting it, And then we are there. Oh,
-
I'm the salt of the earth. And he said, listen
-
to Jesus, it says, but if the soul loses is flavor,
-
how shall it be seasoned? And then he himself conclusive,
-
it is done good for nothing but to be thrown
-
now and trample. And so in your conversation. In everything,
-
the only spirit is one in one in one you season.
-
If you said no, I'll talk the way I like,
-
I'll talk the way I like. I'll be as sety,
-
I'll be in sorting. They can't take me.
-
Or leave me.
-
Like we used to say when he said, will be
-
a halle Luienkoba, and then the Lord is shaking it,
-
you'll fall Halenlujah Amen. Verse fourteen. He said, now you
-
are the light.
-
Of the world.
-
A city that is set on the hill cannot be hidden.
-
Fifteen.
-
Nor do they light a lamp and put it under
-
a basket, but on a lamp stand, and it gives
-
lights to all who are in the Sixteen. Therefore led
-
your life, So shine before men, that they may see
-
your good works and glorify your father in heaven. Let's
-
go Seventeen. And do not think that I came to
-
destroy the law the prophets. I did not come to destroy,
-
but to fulfill Eighteen. For assuredly I say to you
-
to heaven, and have passed away one jodge or one title,
-
will by no means pass from the.
-
Law till all is fulfilled. Nineteen.
-
Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments
-
and teaches men so shall be called least in the
-
Kingdom of Heaven by whoever does and teaches them. So
-
you saw it, does and teaches there. You can't teach
-
if you've not done it. Then practice it, that it works,
-
and that it is rewarded, and that it is fulfilling.
-
Amen it. Whoever therefore breaks one of the leasts of
-
this command and teaches men so bioartitude, you may not
-
need to say, but they are watching you. Amen. Parents,
-
there are people that you know will be watching us.
-
You don't type, you don't give to God. We hear
-
all that you are not giving time, you are don't
-
giving talent, You're not giving treasures to God. You don't pray.
-
When when we announced the first thing, you won't do it.
-
You think they don't see they are saying it and
-
teaches men. So he says, shall be called least in
-
the Kingdom of Heaven. By whoever does and teaches them,
-
does and teaches them, he shall be called.
-
Great in the Kingdom of Heaven.
-
Why I say to you that unless you're righteousness that
-
sees the righteousness, or the scribes and pharasees, you will
-
by no means enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Twenty one.
-
Let's go.
-
You have heard now, now now, so now he's coming
-
to correction of misconceptions and customs and traditions that have
-
been held by name as representative of the mind of God,
-
as representative of the mind of God. He said, you
-
have heard that. He was said to those of all
-
you shall not murder, and whoever murders, who be in
-
danger of the judgment, now listen to it. He is
-
after all, I'm the one who I'm the true Lord giver.
-
This is the spirit behind which I made those pronouncements.
-
But I say to you, I say to you, what
-
audacity The people who are saying the phrases used to ask,
-
but who is this man? Who is this man? Everywhere
-
he goes he is forgiving people, and he's asking people
-
go and say no more blasphemy. And then I say,
-
blass me. But I said to you that whoever is
-
angry with his brother without the cause shall be in
-
danger of the judgment. He's not saying anything too different
-
from the law. So it's my mother like. Look, that's
-
why he says, I came to fulfill them. There was
-
there was nothing wrong. Look at Ken and the story
-
of Cana and aber. The Moses tells us it all
-
began with anger, and ultimately because when God came in
-
and said, ken, you know something, raining rein in your anger,
-
reigning your anger because you have no telling what he's
-
going to lead you to.
-
And he didn't mind him.
-
And then one day he just planned it, premeditated murder.
-
He planned it, and then he called him and killed
-
him and buried it. But when he came he said, well,
-
it's your brother, he said, and mind my brother's keeper.
-
Leave me alone. Hally your anger, well, it can lead
-
you to shall be in danger of the judgment. And
-
whosoever says to his brother Raca shall be in danger
-
of the council. But whoever says you fool, shall be
-
in danger of health. Let's get to twenty five. Okay, therefore,
-
now listen to this. So as I said, it's correcting
-
on he's touching on a lot of thieves.
-
He's talking about.
-
The kna nature, the anger, the conflicts that we see
-
in our homes, in our communities everywhere. And he's telling
-
Kingdom citizens, and don't go there, don't nurse your anger.
-
For a long time, indeed, he said, don't let the
-
sun go down your anger. Forgive, forgive now listen, he said. Therefore,
-
if you bring your gift to the altar and then
-
remember that your brother has something against you, twenty four,
-
leave your gift there before the altar and go your way.
-
First be reconcern out to your brother, and then come
-
and offer your gift. Mm hmmm. First be reconcilt to
-
your brother and then come on. And then I'm saying,
-
just take it on the face. But what what what?
-
What was he saying at the end of the day,
-
you really a comprehension is more like, don't fight if
-
you are the pirates, settle it. Did Jesus mean that
-
when I am I'm about to give man as you
-
leave it and go then immediate you know the person
-
I'm not prepared to. I'm not prepared to leave. I
-
leave your gift there before the other and then go
-
your way. Let's be reconcilt to your brother and then
-
come and offer your gift.
-
It's as sample as that. Avoid the scenario.
-
Take the parents, stop the fights for amen. More or
-
less an he's saying that if if not, your gift
-
will not be accepted. No, that's what I mean. When
-
you bring it, I know you acquired and you bring
-
this when it's offering time and you come, you does
-
you with your anger? You know a man. You know.
-
I'm not going to tell you when I know that Jesus.
-
Says, but you you, you will know that the state
-
you will realize that when your heart is not right,
-
look you give God someping.
-
You have heard, Oh, you have heard all the giving
-
projects going on. You are yet to give because there's
-
something you know. There's always accepting withholding, accepting fear that
-
God will be whispering in your spirit. I'm not accepting you,
-
not your gift. I need to accept your past before
-
the gift. So you realize that the days that you
-
are in bad moods, moods and moods, you don't give well.
-
You don't you don't give well, you're not cheerful because
-
the thing you now, you know that I'm not in
-
the giving mood the way I'm angry even when God shouts,
-
you're in here, hallelujah.
-
Leave your gift there before the altar. Go your way.
-
First, be reconcile to your brother, and then come and
-
offer your gift. Rise up on your feet. Will continue
-
on Sunday and see how best we can bring order
-
into our giving lives in the day that Jesus, why
-
don't you begin to talk to God.
