-

-
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 at
-
yet another, we are looking at a very very important
-
subject of bringing order in our giving life as individuals,
-
as families, and I believe in as a church Charlie Louier.
-
And our text is taken from Matthew chapter six, verse
-
twenty four. Can we now pick it up? So those
-
are some of the truths that we have learned. Like
-
I said, we are tailed doving all our conversations. We
-
did our conversations with God, order in our prayer, ordering
-
conversations with one another. And now we're going to look
-
at how we can bring order to our giving life.
-
And can we put it in context? Now, let's start
-
from verse nineteen and then come to twenty four just
-
a little context. And he says, do not lay up
-
for yourselves treasures on it were Morth and Rast destroyed,
-
and were thieves break in and steal twenty But layer
-
for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither Moth nor Rast
-
destroys and were thieves.
-
Do not break in and steal Where.
-
Your treasure is there, your heart will be also twenty two.
-
The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore
-
your eye is good, your whole body will be full
-
of light.
-
Twenty three.
-
But if your eye is bad. Your whole body will
-
be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is
-
in you is darkness, how great is that darkness? And
-
then he says that no one can save two masters,
-
for either he will hate the one and love the other,
-
or else he will loawyer out to the one and
-
despise the other. You cannot save God, and mammon, amen,
-
he's talking about being divided, die vision, save God or
-
serve man. And already before in nineteen was thinking about
-
the treasures he knows. And in this verse, yeah, he says,
-
you cannot save God.
-
And mamone.
-
Mamone was the name for the god or the spirit
-
behind wealth, money or property in.
-
Jesus's day, How they do here?
-
And so by so saying he was talking about the
-
d gathering, you know, spirit behind the drive the quests
-
for money. At the exclusion of the same drive, passion
-
and enthusiasm for God, he may in a way Jesus
-
was trying to let us draw our attention. Look, if
-
we put the same zeal, passion, enthusiasm in our sech
-
for God as we do for money, we will find him.
-
And this one let me say a few things. Yeah,
-
and then.
-
And do what I believe we should do this night,
-
and then lay the foundation for our subsequent talks. Is
-
the fact that this is part of what he said
-
during the Salmon on the Mount. So Matthew Chapter five,
-
six and seven, the gospel writer Matthew sets in place
-
what Bible scholars and the church, or the Christian Bible
-
students and scholars have come to know and called the
-
Salmon on the Mount, Harlen Lewis, and the Salmon on
-
the Mount, we could call it eve you like a
-
code of ethics for believers Jesus in the Salmon on
-
the Mound. That's our kingdom ethics, kingdom ethos, culture, principles
-
that God expects to see in the life of his children.
-
And I just wanted us to read there. I look
-
at it.
-
There are seventy two verses before we get to these
-
twenty four. So we are going to attempt to read
-
all these seventy two verses, you know, so that we
-
can get the backdrop, you know, of where money comes in.
-
And I have yet that don't take me on, because
-
I've not already anywhere. And if I'm wrong, it is
-
me that I'm wrong. The same one on the Mount
-
can be cited as one of the longest lecture times
-
or sessions that Jesus had with his disciples here on earth.
-
I don't know.
-
It's a five, six, seven, and from five and six
-
to twenty four alone, I've seventy two verses, and we
-
have to continue from there to the end of chapter
-
six and then chapter seven, and all these things from
-
the gospel account seem to have been one long lecture
-
or session. And I've told you, amen, it was a
-
session where he lay clearly the kingdom principles that God
-
wants or expects to be seen in his disciples or larous.
-
And remember who the disciple is. The disciple is someone
-
who is falling a rabbi so that he can be coached,
-
mentor taught and hopefully become just like his rabbi. That's
-
why we call disciples who were larous.
-
Amen. Jesus came to teach and to do well.
-
Read it in somewhere Halleluiah, so the Bible says. And
-
seeing the multitus, he went up on the mountain, and
-
when he was.
-
Seated, look at the people who came to it.
-
His disciples, His disciples came to him. So it wasn't
-
just the crowd, but particularly his disciples was the focus
-
of this rather long lecture.
-
Three chapters, three long chapters.
-
How the lawyer amen and in line with what he's
-
been teaching us throughout.
-
I can't say that that's what I'm saying.
-
It was a very long session in the school of
-
the Spirit. Hello, So Jesus took them through the school
-
of the Spray. And it wasn't the Holy Spirit was
-
the instructor, but Jesus himself. Remember he said that he
-
is the chief instructor, but he has to leave. When
-
he leaves, he says that I'm going to send someone
-
the Holy Spirit.
-
Who now become your teacher.
-
So it was a session or a lecture and period
-
by a very very long period, Halene Loujah, and I
-
believe it was for a good reason, if not for
-
anything at all, to give us the idea that we
-
need long hours or sessions with God if we hope
-
to have our minds transformed from the substantial damage that
-
has been done in our so journing in the world.
-
You know, you look at yourself, Chess, and.
-
How bad you were, Hello, Jo, have your parents and
-
you have everybody look at you and see you're a
-
small boy or a girl. And then you are laughing
-
in your head near by a small girl. If you
-
only you knew the things I knew, halenelujah, and most
-
of those things that we knew that we private ourselves,
-
that we were adults, and they were all damaging things.
-
Amen.
-
So we come moment, then we are we are smiling,
-
We are smiling behind our parents. And then they think
-
I'm a good girl, and it's just because I have to,
-
you know, that's why I comport myself in the house.
-
But when I go hallelujah. Amen.
-
So someone then they're waiting when they will go to
-
the boarding school. And then and then some of those
-
in the boarding schools also they are awaiting that when
-
I get to the university where there's no housemastery, hallelujah.
-
And then meanwhile, your parents and so maybe it gave
-
you are the.
-
Name sweet Tea, not the sweety yell.
-
Angel, oh and all those nice names perfect hallelujah. And
-
then we are there. Then we are smiling. Me at
-
the angel. You know you don't know, hallelujah.
-
Amen. No. My point is, my point is that we
-
need long sessions. That's like the.
-
Damnit is some standis the damach hallne No doubt Jesus
-
took a long time, because if we read through, you
-
realize that, as I said, he was spelling our kingdom principles,
-
and most of the things he was just you know,
-
de banking old accessions, principles that they had grown up
-
with attitudes that they had learned from their sojourning or
-
belonging to the kingdom of Satan.
-
And now remember he said, disciples.
-
These are people that he are translated out of Satan's
-
domain of darkness into the kingdom of the and got
-
himsel new that look, we need these long sessions so
-
that we cannot do the damn it before we can
-
and be able to once again they construct the old man.
-
Else we are not going to get anywhere. Is it
-
anyone that he told Jeorshare that this book of the
-
Law shall not depart out of armand but we shall
-
meditate only day and night, day and night, continually at
-
every opportunity, because it will only take the power of
-
the Word of God to undo or to do the deconstruction,
-
to destroy all attitudes in our lives and mindsets and habits.
-
They can only be destroyed by the Word of God.
-
He said, ye shall know the truth, and the truth
-
is what will set you free. And it is the
-
same word and authority of the world that helps us
-
to construct the new Man. So when it comes to
-
the Word of God, it is primary. And remember what
-
the John said, John in his introductory and passages, the
-
Word in the beginning was the Word, and the Word
-
was with God, and the Word was God.
-
And without him was nothing made. That was made.
-
He said, in him was light, and the life was
-
what the light of me. Hallelujah, Amen. And so we
-
need it, we need more. And like I'm saying, long
-
sessions with the Lord, hallelujah.
-
And and.
-
The Word of God. It's going to be very, very
-
very central.
-
That's why we keep on saying, read your Bible every day.
-
Read your Bible every day, hallelujah.
-
Amen. The Word of.
-
God, by our attitudes towards it, by our actions and
-
in actions when we read or listen to it tells
-
us that the fight and the battle for our souls
-
is more over.
-
Amen.
-
As we said, Satan will contend for our souls. That
-
the soul belongs to me. I don't want him to
-
go and have it end my life.
-
God, he belongs with me. I am him. We are
-
going to help. That's what Satan is saying. And so
-
you chase us Ah and do everything.
-
And make sure or that we never get to hear
-
the word of God, because when we hear the word
-
of God, as I said, it's going to deconstruct.
-
The old man.
-
It's going to destroy the old man and then rite
-
the new man. A lot of us as you read it,
-
like I said, when you become a student, you are reading,
-
there's no way you're not going to be wowing the
-
word is whoa I see? I never knew that is
-
what the word of God said because most of us
-
have been driving on yessay, yes.
-
Say.
-
Hallelujah Amen. And as I said, it's going to be
-
a lifetime of re education in the school of the Spirit.
-
There's the need for a mind shaft and transformed. And
-
that is what we'll be able to empower us to
-
do the will of God for a lifetime. To do
-
the will of God for a lifetime, something has shift
-
in our hearts and our minds.
-
If it doesn't, we can't.
-
How many people do you know who began with us
-
or who started in check and have drifted. And when
-
they all can what do they see? We can't do
-
the wed when they all come, and when they all said,
-
the word.
-
Is too hard.
-
It doesn't fit into our modern day lifestyles. It's absolute.
-
It needs to be edited. If God will edit it,
-
our come. It's all about the weight of God. No edition,
-
new edition with some deletes. Halen lujia, amen. And so
-
let me put it again, say that God's desire and
-
go in all of these if you like classroom sessions,
-
is to make us all emaike bearers of Himself, so
-
that we can see and can see It's likeness in
-
us wherever we go. And He wants us when we
-
have when when the light, he says, when the light
-
is shining in us, to go everywhere and to make
-
that light.
-
No, we're going to read it as I said. It
-
is so when you when.
-
You start from Matthew five, and you are able to
-
put everything in context, then you understand very well when
-
God decides to tell you that, look, you can't save
-
two masters, and that you're going to say, have to
-
save God or you're going to save the spirit of
-
my moon. My dad doesn't leave, I said, and Jesus
-
Jesus is a tough teacher. The Holy Spirit is a
-
tough teacher, and he doesn't live as he says. Look,
-
there's no way you can you can have both. You
-
have to make a choice. Either you go for the
-
spirit of my Moon or you come and follow God.
-
You cannot save two masters because you want to follow God.
-
I'm going to make a demand for loyalty. The spirit
-
of my mom will also demand loyalty. And then our
-
response in Papa, we need the man you. We need
-
the money to do kingdom business. As the past I've
-
had it to. We need God.
-
Oh God.
-
We all pray, God, give me money, Give me money,
-
Give me money like who are the rich the rich people?
-
Give me, and then I'll build you, not just one logos.
-
Read my temple. I'll go over all the Sabbaths in this.
-
City and build you logos. Rem my temples, and God
-
be shaking his head the next time. We immediately the
-
money drop. Where can I get an airplane? I need
-
an I need a private airfield for myself.
-
Halen Loujijah Amen.
-
So I'm going to read through the Salmon on the
-
Mound 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. Yeah him, but let's look. So that's one.
-
Let's go, he says.
-
Then, seeing the multitudes, he went up on the mountain,
-
and when he was seated, his disciples came to him
-
that there's two.
-
Let's go to two.
-
Then he opened his mouth and taught them. There's the
-
place that The comment that I want to make is
-
that there's the need for us to be taught and
-
edicated concerning Kingdom principles and values. If we are going
-
to be able to have a healthy church is very
-
very important.
-
Hallelujah. 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 the envy doers, 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 imbite is
-
in 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 be
-
heid that you are saving God too much? And your
-
attitude is positive attitude every time.
-
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 type to God. Halene Louia, Amen,
-
let's go on now. As as I said, we're going
-
to read through as much as we can. I said, then,
-
now I'm listening to him. Now, he's laying down the
-
Kingdom principles, the expectations that he has for us.
-
He said, blessed.
-
Other translation, we say, happy are the poor in spirit?
-
But the yes 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 unvesty. 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
-
by all 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 he says without
-
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 wear and all that we have learnt in church,
-
every 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 fun. 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 end of mon first breakfast first.
-
Amen.
-
We moan, but he says what one day we shall
-
be comforted. Hallelujah Amen.
-
Verse five. Let's go on.
-
Blessed are the meek, or they shall inherit 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 ugets the Kingdom of God.
-
Six.
-
Blessed are those who hunger and first for righteousness, or
-
they shall be feeled. Like we said, you have to
-
be determined. It doesn't just come. They first and anger
-
for it. They go for it. They don't want to
-
be starved. 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's a many and the righteous manser 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
-
righteous 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
-
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 preceps.
-
Young man will be edit, a young lady will be
-
in church. Immediately they go to school. They say, now, 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 Lou Amen verse seven. Blessed
-
are the merciful, for they shild Lord obtain mercy.
-
Amen.
-
It's a reciproc car. You read what you see, He's
-
so mercy. You read mercy eight blessed as 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. This is 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 phase v 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 regular type and they type the money and
-
then they gave me some. And you're saying that.
-
You're type and of your heart? Up your heart? 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 ask pastor and
-
make my point. And I have an opinion pu're in heart.
-
God says that type out tipe. 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 ind obey the word of God. Blessed, appear
-
in her or they shall see God.
-
Amen.
