man of God and the teacher of the Word. In

this truth and simplicity. Make time with us each and

every Monday to Friday at two pm on Spirit eighty

eight twenty three FM us Being Encounter the Word of Truth.

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 prospers,

and then I will have good success. Amen, as we

welcome each other into the presence of God, and we

are moving on to a new theme. We want to

move on to a new theme and through our last month.

We we're looking at how best we can bring order

into our conversations in May. And as we always like

to point out, the fact that we move on to

a new theme doesn't necessarily mean that that subject is over.

It means that it should be burning behind as we

move from one thematic area and to the other. And

it is all these thematic areas that is ultimately going

to form a whole and help us to be the

men and the women that God has called us to be. Amen.

The emphasies throughout the discourses in the past, Man, when

we talked about all that in our conversations, was the

necessity for a total and unconditional surrender to the authority

and the ministry of the Holy Spirit in our lives. Amen.

More or less, we are saying that if our bonn

again experience, or our submission to the authority of the

world of God and the Holy Spirit, it is partial

and conditioner, and most of it when it is partial

condition Now we enter into a time of war with

the Spirit of the Lord and say that I'm going to,

you know, God, something I'm going to choose and pick.

They are some of the things that they come quite

naturally and easy for me to do, I'm going to

do it. But the other ones that doesn't come naturally

and easy for me to do, when I find out

that there's a certain form of resistance within my mind,

my heart and all that, then I'm not going to

do it. And anytime that we do that and we

make and the word of God conditioner, and we begin

to pick and choose, we are hindering ourselves from seeing

the full explosion of the power of God in our lives.

And we cannot be the men and the women that

God has called us to be when we begin to

pick and choose. Indeed, like the Bible says, and when

Jesus taught about the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit, and

it is God's chief resource to us, he comes not

only as our teacher, but also as our coach, our advocate,

our counselor. And so he comes to help us, if

you like, let me put it this way. The Holy

Spirit comes to help us not just navigate around, you know,

the tough you know, portions of the scripture, but he

comes to be a bed and bearer, to be our

source of encourage, you know, particularly when we have to

navigate around those tough areas in our own lives. What

may be tough for you may not be tough for

somebody else who have allowed the spirit of the Lord

to order his or her footsteps and to navigate those

funny areas that you are now in, Harlene Luier, Amen.

And that is what, if you like, is going to

mark the difference between those who are growing maturing in

the Lord as compared to those who grow to a

certain place and then stagnate. And there's no room for stagnation.

You will decay, Amen, you will decay. It's a lifetime battle.

And at any point in time, if you stop, if

you cease fighting, if you cease learning, if you seize

obeying and working out the truth, you stagnate, Halene Luier, Amen,

Because that's what I'm saying. We don't yield, we are

not going to grow and mature in the Lord. Then

you could for or fail. Amen. You would fail, and

you would fail Hardy Louier. And once again let's remember,

you know how or the fact that it is not

our lives but his life, and it is for that

specific reason that he sends his spirit to take residence

in us, to come alongside of us to hold our hands,

to be our biggest fan base and cheer giver that

you can do it, and sometimes we forget it is

all because of the prize, the prize at stake. God knows,

God desires for all his children, as many as the

Bible says, the Lord our God shall call, as many

as the Lord our God shall call the promise of

the Holy bitter told the crowd in our chapter two

day half of us, and as many us will believe

afar off and will come to faith the promise of

the helps, supernatural healths of the Holy Spirit. It's for

them all. Halene Loujah. Amen. And he comes in if

you like, like I said, to help us live his life.

God borrows this casket of clay of ours and takes

residence in the believer's heart and life, and then all

our footsteps Halen Lujah Amen. So that is it. He

borrows our bodies to live his life in and through us.

And when we resist, then there's no way he can

help us. Amen. Jesus wants to be both Lord, not

just savior, but savior and Lord in our lives, every

believer life. Jesus wants to be not just savior about Lord,

you understand, Lord Master, hallelujah A may And as we've

been pointing out, as we are learning, there's a lot

of work to be done in the life of every believer.

It's a lifetime work every believer, a lot of work

to be done. And that is why, like we are saying,

he sends his Holy Spirit into hours to make God

real and tangible. God. The Holy Spirit comes to make

God real and tangible to each and everyone. He is

responsible for the proofs that we need. He's responsible for

those visions, those dreams, those peculiar manifestations of His life

and presence about in and around every believer's life that

makes us rise up and says, I believe. I believe,

I believe, and somebody in the people who do. That's

the mystery of the godly life. And people are just wondering,

what has this person seen? What is he here? Why?

Where does it get and deride the power to live

this life the presence of the Holy Spirit. And until

you begin to experience, and you will be deley dialing

around the faith and it's not going to help you.

You have to reach out in faith. You just have

to take the word of God by its faith ballot

and cry out for help, and just do it even

when you think you don't understand it. The word, the

authority of the Word should be sufficient to us to

demand or elicit our obedience. And then the whole reality

dawns on us. And then now we are not like Paul.

We say we begin to take you know, meaningful strives,

and we are no longer shadow boxing. I know my

Redeemer live, I know my savior list. I know that

he's going to come one day, and I know that

with my eyes, with my face, I will see why.

Because you have the evidence with me and you do everything.

It's not the responsibility of any pastor, it's not my response.

The responsibility of the Holy Spirit to make Christ manifest

to you and every child. They will do it. Once again,

we getting to the roots. We need it, we need it,

We need Godle's work to be meaningful and real. Ell

somewhere along the line you're throwing the towel Halen Lujah, Amen.

And then not just at the top of the list,

like we always like to point up all the graces

and all the virtues and resources that the Holy Spirit brings.

Is the need or the ability to descend the voice

of God. Halenluier, Amen. It's very very important. And once

again we've been giving the A. B c's it's not

just going to happen if you neglect your quiet time.

Just do what you can do, or we have been

implored upon to do. Do your quieter, read your Bible

every day, pray every day, go to church when you

come to church, sing when they are singing, Amen, clap

when they are clap. Participate in the life of the church.

As we continue to cry out for meaning, You'll just

be doing it. And God, who is responsible for the signs,

the proof that we need, the tangibility that we need,

our help anchor faith, he will do that, Harley Louier.

And remember, like you are saying, God deems us to

be imitated and image bearers of himself. Haled Luier, Amen.

And as we are saying, before we can become the

image bearest of God, we are talking. We are still

talking about all that in our giving. I'm yes, see

how west I'm going to tailor of it into it, Harleeyluier.

So we are still there, we are on track, Harleed Louia, Amen.

Because it all comes to back to that amen before

this our ability to be ordered by the spirit of

God to work in obedience to him. We have said it,

and we are learning, and we are emphasizing again the needed,

absolute need to disconstruct the old man. He said, even

a man being Christ, he is a new creature. The

old is gone and all things are new. And let

me say this, it is urgent business. The old man

has to be put off and the new man put on.

See it as agent, very very urgent halln Loujah. He may,

because the old man he cannot receive instructions from God.

You and I know before we said yea and yes

to Jesus, we didn't like God. We didn't like church,

we didn't like believers, we didn't like church goers. He may.

And so if you don't destroy the old man, it's

the same you before you realize Satan wise and every time,

just like that. The Israeli is when they left Egypt,

they abandoned Egypt. Can you imagine it, that Pharaoh and

these people that's by all the devastating effects of the temples,

he did to chase the people again, just to tell

you for us that what goes on in the New Testament.

He would chase us again. You are gone by. It's

on the church Halene Lujah. And so God gets his

last life and we cross over to the other side,

and so we live this life. Say down, will be

at our heels and chase us to get us back

to Egypt so that we can save him and put

that yo back upon us that you of serving. He's

not happy that we have escaped. Harley Louis. Amen. That's

what I'm saying. Is agen business. The old man has

to be put off and the new man put on.

And that's a lot of work to do. But time flee.

The Holy Spirit is given to age believer or child

of God to facilitate the enormous task that needs to

be done. I want you to say a big amen.

He will help you. It doesn't matter how you are saying.

All they say the old man bars for me, my

old man. M If I want to talk about my

old man, everybody will here about their heads. No, it

doesn't matter that old money. How distorted he distorted your

psyche and everything in Christ, she said, he said, greater

is he that is in us than he that is

out there in the world. All that he needs is

our cooperation. That's the difference. You can't be delivered. It

doesn't matter what it is. You can't believe it. You

can't be delivered. Every vice, every wrong attitude, you can't

be delivered. Why are you going to cooperate? The only

spired just needs our cooperation. And then that old man

who will be dealt with, Halen Lowier. Amen. God will

do his part and supply the graces that we need.

But you and I we must be determined. We must

have determination on our part so that the partner she

can work well for advantage. Amen. And like we said,

we must go to school, Harly Louier. We must go

to school, the School of the Spirit, and we must

attend classes regularly and learn from the Holy Spirit how

to nor how to communicate with each other, Harlenluier and

all that he has taught us, Harly Luier. Amen. Amen.

And one of the hard truths and lessons that we

will be learning in the School of the Spirit is

our giving life. Amen, Our giving life, Harlely Louier. And

now we've been learning here three tis our time, our talents,

and our treasures. Hallelujah. God saves us and redeems us

so that we can give back to him the life

that he redeems. He wants us to give that life

back to him. Second Corinthians five, verse fifteen, before we

come to seventeen, or that possible came to seventeen and

told us that the old man is gone, and behold

all things and listen to him. In Second Corinthians five

point fifteen as a preamble to the distraction of the

old man. And then if you like the outdooring of

the new man, he says this, and he died for

all that those who live might no longer live for themselves,

but for him who for their sake died and most raised.

That's why we say it's a life of exchange. Amen, hallelujah.

He died for all that those who lived might no

longer live for themselves, but for him who for their

sake died. That's three halle Louis Yeah. Amen. In the

spiritual or the cosmic world, lots of things are taking place,

Lots of battles takes place over the life of every believer,

even after redemption. As I said, Satan is out are

here trying to get us back and to lock his

in harlen lujah, Amen, and Because of that, I'm talking

about the need for us to rise up, just rise up.

The spiritual warfare. For believer, it's a lifetime. It's a

lifetime or spiritual warfare we talk about. It's not when

we are doing first thing and praying the Lord or

I pip that we are engaging in spiritual warfare. Every

morning when you wake up and you are going on

your knees, you're asking God to help you, like the

apostle purse. Therefore, put on the full armor of God

during that quiet time. God will bring that son, daughter,

Can you put it on so that we can withstand

the wilds of the devil, that's the schemes of the devil,

the wows of the devil. And he said, I've been

done all to stand because we are not worrying against

flesh and black, but against principalities and powers, spiritual forces

of darkness. Harled Luyer and the spiritual affair. It's for

a lifetime, halened Louia. And like we say, where is

the fight being fought? You could see in your mind

or in the heart, in your mind or in the

the Bible says, out of the abundance of the heart,

the mouth speaks halened Louyer. Amen. Before we came to Christ,

we were exposed to a certain way of life that's simply,

like I mentioned, it wants to have nothing to do

with God or the Word of go Hallelujah Amen. And

we had learned a lot of ways of the world,

Satan's philosophy, the way and manner he compelled us to

live in defiance of the Word of God, and we

all lived it out. Halee luia. But then once we

come to Christ, then, like he says, that the old

is gone, everything is new, Halleluiah, 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. Halleluia. 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 lent. Like I said, we

are tailed oving all our conversations, 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 out for yourselves treasures on earth, where

mouth and rust destroyed, and where 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 life. 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 lawyer 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 save man.

And already before in nineteen was thinking about the treasures

he knows. And in this verse yea, he says, you

cannot save God. And mammon mamone was the name for

the god or the spirit behind wealth, money or property

in Jesus' day, how they do here and so by

so saying, he was talking about the under geathering, you know,

spirit behind the drive the quest for money, at the

exclusion of the same drive passion and enthusiasm for God.

In a 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 think here 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 Semon 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 Louis, 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 sets out kingdom ethics, kingdom ethos, culture,

and principles that God expects to see in the life

of his children. And I just want 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. But

don't take me on because I've not ready anywhere. 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 said five, six, seven,

and from five and six to twenty four alone, I've

counted 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 I can't 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 were larous. Amen. Jesus came to teach and

to do We'll read it somewhere Halleluier, so the Bible says.

And seeing the multi use, 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, Hall the Lawyer. Amen.
