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

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

  13. And now to today's message.

  14. Go to a one ver's a before we take our sis,

  15. let's go let's spoke of the law. Shall no depart

  16. out of my mouth? That I shall meditate in it

  17. to day right that I may observe to do according

  18. to all that is written in it.

  19. Or then I will make my way prospers, and then

  20. I am have of success a man.

  21. God bless you, Oh only welcome to the presence of God.

  22. And we will continue with our discourses on how we

  23. can bring order to our conversation. Amen, what we've been

  24. trying to do, get a diagnosis of our problem if

  25. we even admit or confess that there is a problem

  26. with our conversations. Because admittedly, if you don't see any

  27. problem with the way you talk, the way you communicate

  28. with your conversations with other people, then there's only be

  29. a problem taking the bitter pills or remedies that are

  30. needed to fix us.

  31. And the problem is that this thing is not just

  32. cannot be just fixed by human efforts. You need a

  33. partnership with the Holy Spirit of God to understand and

  34. appreciate some of the dynamics of living in a world

  35. full of evil and good angels, wicked men and wicked

  36. and wicked women and good men, and and all these pictures.

  37. They are carefully laid out in the scriptures for so

  38. that you, the Son of God, you and I the

  39. children of God, that are enrolled in the school of

  40. the Spirit. We are reading our Bible every day. The

  41. Holy Spirit guests to educate us. Amen, hallnelujah. Because whilst

  42. we are, when we finish, and you read your quiet time,

  43. and then you go out there and then go and

  44. intermeddle or interact with falling man. You're sometimes you come

  45. back again and think that, ah, there is the Word

  46. of God.

  47. Is it true? Is it going to be helpful to me?

  48. Maybe you didn't even plan it by in that truthual

  49. or whatever. You are sitting they are playing and there's

  50. this radio celebrity who are discussing marriage, and then they

  51. are telling you how you should treat your husband, and

  52. everybody in the say yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah,

  53. just to know what you have read from the Word

  54. of God, and they.

  55. Seem so voicy. Faara us.

  56. So you say the whole thing, you must come back

  57. to the Word of God again. So radio Bible every

  58. day is so important. As I said, so because we

  59. sometimes have that panoramic view we think that going every day,

  60. going every day is a waste of time. No, going

  61. every day helps you God, chums and trains. So I'm saying,

  62. your year, but the spirit of your soul, you can

  63. hear him and descend his voy in the midst of

  64. all the other voices.

  65. Whose voice who is speaking to me.

  66. That on trained year cannot descend the voice of God.

  67. You'll be confused because Satan always appears as an angel

  68. of life. And when during the temptations of Jesus. We

  69. see that what did he do. He applied the word.

  70. He tried to confuse it. If you are the son

  71. of God, turn these stones into loaves of bread, and

  72. he said, no, it is written.

  73. It is written. Then he came again and.

  74. Said, oh, he has said that, if you had the

  75. son of God, just throw yourself nor on and down,

  76. and he setting his angles to bear you down. He says, no,

  77. you shall not tell the Lord our God. Hallelujah Amen.

  78. So that is what reading the Bible every day is

  79. going to help you.

  80. Amen, Very very important. It's going to help you.

  81. And then once again, after we have read it, we

  82. must go out there and do it and validate it.

  83. Hallelujah Amen. We must go out there and validate the

  84. word of God. We do it little by little, hallelujah Amen.

  85. Now the next key step after we quiet time, the Holy.

  86. Spirit will take you to school.

  87. One another very simple thing that through that we have

  88. learned over the years. We are just reactuating. Let's go

  89. to church. When God saves us, he plants us in

  90. church among fellow believers. Ion sharpenet ion. You can't do

  91. it on your own. The Christian life is not meant

  92. to be lived out in isolation. We thrive best in

  93. the company of other believers.

  94. Amen, hallelujah. Amen.

  95. You know so sometimes we think that oh, no, I

  96. mean too much church life, you had it before. Or

  97. sometimes you cry you agree this too.

  98. Amen.

  99. There are days are we not doing too much change

  100. and all that, No, I don't, I don't. As tough

  101. as it is, it helps us grow. It has its

  102. critical rule in helping us grow.

  103. Amen.

  104. Because you are out there. You're once again in the world,

  105. out there where. Sometimes maybe even in the office place

  106. or where you work in the marketplace, you may find

  107. out that you may just be the only believer. And

  108. as the other voices rise up, you know and all

  109. you are hearing all that, you can be confused.

  110. But when you come amongst.

  111. Believers and like, let me use the word spirit field believers.

  112. Amen.

  113. We are all embarking on the new band project. We

  114. are all desirous of seeing cheape of getting ourselves fixed.

  115. Amen.

  116. Then we are going to be able to help each other.

  117. We are doing this topic because God whispect to the

  118. general of our sea that this is a year of

  119. divine order. God wants to see or that in our lives.

  120. Can we tackle our conversation maybe on our own, on

  121. my own, maybe that's not what I would have wanted

  122. us to discuss. Or I hope you are getting it,

  123. but all of a sudden, because it's sudden saying yeah, yeah, yeah,

  124. it's true. There's so much disorder in our miss it's

  125. true my conversations and because of that, all my relationships

  126. have been fractured. And my sister was saying, so, so

  127. I've decided to stay in my corner somewhere, so I'm

  128. not interacting because when I interact, you know, then this

  129. person who accused me of saying this, you are rude,

  130. you're this, you're that.

  131. That's not going to help you. Amen.

  132. Like I said, the evaluation, when you are doing it

  133. on your own, you find it difficult.

  134. But when you come in like this like a teaching service,

  135. we are.

  136. Highlighting some of the various shades and things where we

  137. will be able to see where our conversations are not

  138. going well, and then putting the necessary remedia tractors. Amen,

  139. very very very important. That so we must go to church,

  140. halleluyer Amen. And then the next thing that is also

  141. very very important is that we must join the wings,

  142. get active in church.

  143. It's so important in a big.

  144. Church where you find yourself and a lot of people

  145. also find it. Okay, I will go to church, but

  146. I won't interact. No, they're not going to have your conversations,

  147. all right, halle Lou, Yeah, amen, oh in this big church.

  148. And I mean sometimes we think that maybe by by

  149. designs it seems as see Sunday services is the big

  150. deal or the biggest deal, and once you come for

  151. Sunday service and the grace is finished, that you have

  152. done your fulfilled al righteously. No, the Sunday services that

  153. we hold, we are only able to hold those services

  154. because of what goes on in the background. That is

  155. where the church services are being held in that group,

  156. the Bible study group now a little group where you

  157. get to interact in the sanctuary keepers, in the prayer warriors, Amen,

  158. in the counselors, in the evangelistic team. That is where

  159. the real character, it's me informed as we interact with

  160. our fellow men, then we get the opportunity to order

  161. our conversations.

  162. All right.

  163. But if you come along to church, you come the

  164. big one, Like I said, the big one, the Sunday,

  165. one will come and then okay, I've done my offering.

  166. Oh okay, I head about typhing, I've done some you know,

  167. I'm a good citizen of the kingdom, and then off

  168. you go. No, you're not going to improve. Amen, you

  169. have to join the small group so that the next

  170. day you don't come or they that I come. Somebody

  171. will come and say, ah, we didn't why didn't you come,

  172. And then immediately something instead of asking me why and

  173. was there's something wrong, all of a sudden, you're charging me,

  174. you know, and then me, now we'll do this thing again,

  175. and they say no. So you realize that in the

  176. small group is where our character and our conversations get

  177. to be seen. Now, as I'm doing this, there will

  178. be little opportunity or no opportunity for anybody to say anything,

  179. and they will all go, no, you're not going to

  180. be able to grow. Like we said, theoretical experiential and

  181. God just knows how to do it. Maybe sometimes it's

  182. not that the person because of that one of you

  183. know statement that that person and that person also is

  184. a battery. No, but sometimes even you know, misunderstanding of

  185. the true intention can catch you.

  186. Now not they can't do anything.

  187. And then it's like, ah, no, you see, you need

  188. a certain regular check attendance, like and.

  189. That is why that person said this to you.

  190. That because you are signed up for the small group

  191. meetings and all.

  192. That, you must come.

  193. And if there is any reason why you won't come,

  194. you must show yourself accountable and send a text message

  195. to the leader to know why you are not coming,

  196. but just coming on your own terms. And then the

  197. day I feel like coming, o't come. In the day

  198. I don't feel like coming, I don't come, I'm not

  199. going to be responsible to anyone I want to apologize

  200. for not coming. After all, its voluntary. Is my free

  201. time that I came.

  202. You never go.

  203. So that question alone is going to hit you and

  204. then you will know that there's something still wrong.

  205. With that way am going about things. Amen.

  206. And then you come to church and we are dissecting

  207. the problem, when we are throwing highlights on it and

  208. God is using it to speak to you. That's not

  209. how the problem is going to be fixed. Your conversation

  210. life is not going to be fixed. The way you

  211. talk is not going to be fixed by isolation. You

  212. have to go out. You must engage Amen. And it's

  213. going to be actions and reactions, actions and reactions.

  214. Amen.

  215. How do you react when you are rebuilt? It's part

  216. of the conversation, Halenelujah. So a lot of us said

  217. that decide that I'm not going to be a part

  218. of the SNOW group because I need to open up.

  219. And it's also another key part of churchlight. You have

  220. to open up.

  221. Amen. We fellowship with.

  222. Real people, say amen, Halene Louiah, because we are fixing

  223. real people.

  224. Amen.

  225. So if you never open up your life and you

  226. say that as for my life, it's a.

  227. No go area.

  228. Nobody comes in. No, it's not going to help, Haleneluiah.

  229. Amen.

  230. It's very very, very important thing that we need to understand.

  231. Okay.

  232. So we joined there small group and then we are

  233. active there. We cooperate with both leadership and the other

  234. members so that the Holy Spirit can do what he

  235. wants to do in our lives.

  236. Halleluia. Amen. And then let me say this that.

  237. I don't know about you what you would say, but

  238. these are simple childlike you know, faith or steps that

  239. you mistake. Don't look for complicated things, amen, just simple things.

  240. Just just do those simple things and allow God to

  241. do the bigger, complicated, supernatural things.

  242. And that's where the faith thing comes in. Amen.

  243. Is God going to you be able to use these

  244. simple measures to fix me?

  245. Yes? Amen, God will fix you. God has fixed people over.

  246. The ages with these simple things and steps. And as

  247. you like, as you said, you join a church. You

  248. begin to take root there. You begin to participate in

  249. the life of the church. You begin to give off

  250. your time, talents and treasures for God to use.

  251. That is how you get fixed. Amen. It sounds simple,

  252. but that is how God fixes us. Actions reactions. Amen.

  253. As you interact with people, and then you begin to

  254. hear people in conversations the way they think we are

  255. thought life, sometimes pure naive childlife and yester. You see

  256. the power of God at working their lives.

  257. Amen.

  258. You see the power of God at it in their line.

  259. And when you see a power, the power of God

  260. in somebody's life working, you know it. You will sense it.

  261. God will communicate it to you that this is where

  262. I am taking you.

  263. Amen.

  264. And then in church, as I said, you are working

  265. in the group. And let's let's let's also not be naive.

  266. It's also another important point that I think I value

  267. that to it eli. Anytime that the sons of God appear,

  268. the sounds of Satan also appears. Say amen to that,

  269. and let's not be naive. So in that small group,

  270. remember Jesus gathered twelve people, and there was one in

  271. that small group. In that small group, there will be some,

  272. but they will never be in the majority.

  273. If it's a true church, hello, where everybody is playing.

  274. Their role, because maybe we'll take a look at something,

  275. just because if they're in the majority, then the church

  276. to collapse. Yeah, that's the point. If they are in

  277. the majority and the church to collapse. But the church

  278. has not collapsed. The church is thriving. The church is

  279. flourishing because ultimately the good people amen.

  280. And remember what Jesus said.

  281. It's also one of the key things that I want

  282. then said Jesus said something said, I will build my

  283. church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

  284. So that one individual whose agenda is to derail you know,

  285. they will bring in all the kind of nature in

  286. full bloom and the kind of nature back biting God,

  287. sapin slander. And just think about it. And you have

  288. the other people. Let me use the way the other

  289. people the majority people in the same group who are

  290. bringing love. They are bringing joy, they are bringing kindness,

  291. they are bringing peace, they are bringing meekness, self control, gentleness,

  292. and faithfulness. Remember what he said, against such there is

  293. no law. There is no way for the few, or

  294. let me use the word few. The people who are there,

  295. we are bringing the fruit of the Holy Spirit. So

  296. for the canna nature to ultimately swallow the fruit of

  297. the Holy Spirit. No, the fruit of the Holy Spirit

  298. is the Holy Spirit.

  299. Are weak in us? And Jesus said it.

  300. He said, the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

  301. Amen. All that God needs.

  302. Is that his people are stating, and I'm saying that,

  303. let's use the word ideal church.

  304. The agents of the devil, who they will not be.

  305. The ones who have the say, and ultimately the good

  306. people of God, because the power of God is backing.

  307. We will prevail. Amen.

  308. So when you join that small group, because often that

  309. is where you find them.

  310. He said, by their fruit, you shall know them.

  311. A good tree is identified by its fruit.

  312. So you find that you are working in the small group.

  313. And this particular brother or sister, all the.

  314. Conversations that they bring up is all about gossip, slander, envy, jealousy,

  315. back biting.

  316. Don't you saying that there's something wrong and that you need.

  317. To pull away?

  318. Have you gone through the steps? Do you need a fixing?

  319. And this person's conversation is coming to complicate you the

  320. therapy that is being administer you pull away, or you

  321. rebuke that person, or you time an agent to help that.

  322. Person help you get it. It's very, very, very important.

  323. Because Paul tells us in the Galician Galicians, he said,

  324. if you are not mindful of these things, then you

  325. will destroy each other. Can we go to Galatians chapter five,

  326. the sixteen down when he talks like, let's let's look

  327. Galatians chapter five, let's pick it up from sixteen.

  328. He said, But I say walk by.

  329. The spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of

  330. the flesh. For the desires of the flesh are against

  331. the spirit, and the desires of the spirit are against

  332. the flesh. For these are opposed to each other to

  333. keep you from doing the things you want to do.

  334. But if you are led by the spirit, you are

  335. not under the law. Now the works of the flesh

  336. are evident, sexual, immorality, impurity, sensuality, I don't latterly sorcery, enmity, strive, jealousy,

  337. fis of anger, rivalries, desensions, divisions, envy. Maybe one day

  338. will go over all this and bring them down drunkenness,

  339. all this and things like this.

  340. I warn you, as I warn you.

  341. Before, that those who do side things will not inherit

  342. the Kingdom of God. Then it talks about the fruit

  343. of the spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness,

  344. self control, against like there is no law, hallelujah Amen.

  345. And in twenty five he said, if we live by

  346. the spirit, let us also keep in step with the spirit.

  347. Let us not.

  348. Become conceited provoking one another, envying one another.

  349. Hallelujah Amen.

  350. Twty verse fifteen, or take it from fourteen and fifteen

  351. he said, for the whole law, it's for filed in

  352. one way. You shall love your neighbor. Ask yourself, look

  353. at fifteen. But if you bite and devour one another,

  354. watch out that you are not consumed.

  355. By one another conversation. And else we'll consume one another.

  356. So when you join the group, when you join that

  357. small group and you find out that people there, there

  358. are some people that are walking by the flesh who

  359. do not want to be fixed, they don't need it.

  360. And you you, you, you should be focused. You know

  361. why you have come to Christ. You know that you

  362. are sick. You know that you need to fix it,

  363. and you have come for therapy. And then you are

  364. applying the therapy. You will find out that people who

  365. come here and then then every time they come, then

  366. they engage you in conversation. It's about gossip and it's

  367. saying that when you begin to do that, you consume

  368. one another and destroy one another and destroy the church.

  369. And you are indulging the people.

  370. And West case scenario craw sometimes instead of new walk

  371. into the pastors or the product that this.

  372. Is what is going on, and we need to bind.

  373. We need to fight it, and we recognize it for

  374. what it is, spiritual warfare. We keep quiet, it will

  375. bite you. So they are there, the church and then

  376. the small glues. They are there, but once you go

  377. in there there's no life there.

  378. We have allowed the deeds of the flesh to consume us,

  379. and then it's warning us that we will destroy the church.

  380. But remember that those the people who are standing in preces,

  381. all build my church. And the gets of us are

  382. not prevail against it. And so if you find these

  383. things and you guys don't rise up to the task

  384. and assignment that there's a spiritual warfare and there's a

  385. battle that is ongoing, and that we need to stand

  386. on and be on ourne is this check?

  387. I can't tell you.

  388. Look, if it's not the thing that we do, the

  389. spiritual our alfare that intermittently we are. They know they

  390. never have destroyed the church. This church would have been destroyed.

  391. How many times not have I not had it out

  392. that the church will be destroyed simply because we are

  393. implementing the truth of the Word of God.

  394. No way, hallelujah. So we are aware that is not

  395. everybody who is here who is gathering with us.

  396. These some people who come in here with their conversation

  397. to divide, to scatter.

  398. Amen.

  399. But we stand on our knees and we've don't continue.

  400. We'll continue to to yes, stand on our toes and

  401. on our knees and intercede and to remind God of

  402. his good promises and vowls of our lives. He said

  403. he will build the church and the guests of us

  404. shall not prevail against it. So when we are calling

  405. for the intermittent first, and we know what we are doing.

  406. By the arm of flesh, you shall not prevail. It's

  407. a spiritual enterprise that we are building.

  408. And it only can it can only be sustained and

  409. build by spiritual wapoints and tools. And it is these

  410. tools fasting, praying, singing, praying, living and righteous and holy lives,

  411. and ordering our conversations, ordering our prayers and the things

  412. that we are talking about this year that is helped

  413. going to help us stunt as a church and being

  414. the people that God has called us to be. If

  415. we don't take up these spiritual weapons. Look, I'm afraid

  416. we'll be destroyed.

  417. Amen. Amen, So that we are aware that they will

  418. always be.

  419. Situations that cause for us to be descended. Whose voice

  420. are we hearing the conversation that you are holding? Whose

  421. voice are you hearing the conversation that you are holding?

  422. That's one group most voice are you hearing talking about

  423. that sister talking about that brother talking about that lesson?

  424. No, you will destroy the church.

  425. M hm.

  426. You don't want to be fixed. You are not here

  427. to be fixed, because if you are here to be fixed,

  428. you you want straight away. It's a tough if you're

  429. like tough assignment and task and we need everyone to focus,

  430. and it's all worse.
