Episode 96: Christian; More than a mere title

In the name of the glorious Trinity, Father and Son and Holy

Spirit, forever Amen. Glory be to the everlasting

mercies which sent you to us, O Christ, the light of the world

and the life of all. Give us wisdom by your law and

enlighten our impulses by Your knowledge.

Sanctify our souls by Your truth and grant that we may be

obedient to Your words and may fulfil Your commandments at

every hour. O You who enlightens the

rational with the knowledge of Your greatness, do enlight, O my

Lord, our thoughts, that we may meditate upon Your holy and

divine Scriptures at all times. O Lord of all, Father and Son

and Holy Spirit, forever. Amen.

me ask you a question. When you when you hear the word

Christian or Christians, what do you understand from that?

I mean, there must be an yes. Followers of Christ.

Followers of Christ. What else?

That's a good one. Christians.

When I ask you what? Yes.

Many Christs. Many Christs, Many Christs.

Yes. People will put their faith in

the Lord. Bina khati, people will put

their faith in the Lord. Oh, that's good.

Yeah. Yes, OK, invested and powered by

the Lord Christians. OK, great, excellent.

OK, but do you know that when the church, early church began.

This is in the book of the Acts of the Apostles when you read

your scriptures, and I pray that everyone here, it may be for

wishful thinking, but still there's always hope that you

read, you open your scriptures, your Bible and you read.

When you read the book of the Acts of the Apostles, you'll see

that the word Christians does not appear for a few years after

Jesus had resurrected. So those who believed Jesus

Christ, when the church began to preach, the disciples began to

preach and people heard, you know, Simon gave his first

sermon and 3000 Jewish people believed.

And when they believed, they said, what shall we do?

He said be baptized. Now you have to repent and be

baptized. So the word Christians, Litva,

you know, when I first became a Christian, when I first became a

Christian, there was no word of Christian.

It was actually called something else.

And let me read it to you. It's Acts Chapter 9 verses one

Acts 9 · chapter mention

to two. Now Saul, who is Saint Paul,

previously called Saul, was still filled with anger and with

threats of murder against the disciples of our Lord.

And he asked his, the high priest, to give him letters,

listen to this, to give him letters to the synagogues at

Damascus, that is Syria that he should find.

If he should find anyone, man or woman, following this faith, he

might bring them bound to Jerusalem to kill the

Christians. Basically.

Now we know them as Christians. But in the Aramaic version it

says people of this way, they used to call them the people of

the way. Who is the way?

Who? Who claimed that he is the way?

Jesus? Yes, John chapter 14, verse six.

John 14 · chapter mention

Let me read it to you. Jesus said I am the way and the

truth and the life. No man comes to my father except

by me. So when they refer to him as the

people of the way, they meant the faith, this new faith.

Let's not even call it a Christian faith because back

then they didn't know. So they were called the people

of the way and Jesus is the way. That means the people that who

followed Jesus Christ, as I think William said, and they

believed the first people that were called Christians.

Who do you think they were? No, say Syrians, They weren't in

the Bible. How about we accepted

Christianity? Yes, we were.

We were one of those first that accepted Christianity in the

first or second century of Christianity.

Who do you think? Who do you do you know who was

the first people that were called Christians?

No, I wasn't expecting because it's not something that everyone

comes across. But if we read Acts Chapter 11,

Acts 11:26

verse 26, listen to this Acts 11, Bina.

Yes, yeah. But they weren't called

Christians. They were called the people of

the way, the yeah, the first people that were called

Christians. If we read Acts Chapter 11,

Acts 11:26

verse 26, here is the answer. Why is it different here?

Oh, here it is. No, it's not.

And when he had found him, that means let me, let me just this

man called Ananias went to look for Saint Paul.

This soul, when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch

and for the whole year they assembled together in the church

and taught a great many people that disciples were called

Christians first at Antioch and from that time onwards.

So those people in Antioch who were listening, who were being

discipled, that's why it's called this, this a disciple is

someone who is discipled. If I take on Stephen, Shamasha,

Colin, Andrew under my wings and I teach him I'm an, an Italian

Medina, they are my disciples because I disciplined them.

So those people, they were preaching for one year, the

disciples, they were the first one, they were called

Christians. Now what does that mean?

What does it mean to be Christians?

Why did they start calling them Christians?

Because something Edna said, which was so true and she's

always looking at her nail. Something that Edna said,

because they were Christ, like little Christians, little

Christs, they saw them, They knew this must be a different

faith. And then they obviously

understood that they are Christians following us of

Christ. Now raise your hand if you

identify yourself as a Christian.

If you don't identify yourself as a Christian, raise your hand.

OK, good. Wait, I want to burst your

bubble now. So what does that mean when

people say to you, I'm a Christian, meaning you are

Christ like that means what Christ is, you are what Christ

is. By nature we must be by grace.

Every title in the Bible that is given to Christ, he is.

By his nature He is we must also be by the grace of God, not by

our nature because our nature is corrupted.

For example, let me give you a few and then we're going to see

how we can be. He is called in One Corinthians

chapter one, verse 24. He is called the power of God

and the wisdom of God. This is Christ himself.

Let me read it to you. Verse 124 One Corinthians.

But we preach Christ crucified, which is a stumbling block to

the Jews and foolishness to Arameans.

But for those who are called both Jews and Aramians, Christ

is the power of God and the wisdom of God.

What does that mean? When people saw Jesus Christ,

When we now read about Jesus Christ, we know that must be

God. It must be God because no man

can. Do you know when Nicodemus came

to him by night he said we know you are from God, but he wasn't

from God. He is God because no one can do

what you're doing unless God is with him aiming God is with him.

He is God. You are the power of God

obviously because he said to Lazarus come out and Lazarus was

resurrected 4 days he was dead. He was starting to decay.

He stood in the boat and he said to the ocean be still and the,

the, the, the waters were still. He said, why do you think in

your heart? He could read minds, He could

read hearts. Why?

Because he is God by nature. He is God.

How do I become the power of God?

How do we No, no, how do we, how must we become the power of God

and we become the wisdom of God and we must be Why?

Because we are Christians. You all raised your hand.

I didn't raise mine. I should raise mine.

Sorry. That's what it means that you're

saying, yes, I'm a Christian. Well, let me ask you something.

Do you portray the power of God to your friends and to your

relatives and to those cousins, relatives, family, friends,

school friends, workmates that don't know Jesus Christ?

Do you show the power of God? You may say how I don't want you

to go and stand in in front of the ocean and say be still.

You don't need to do that. We don't need to read minds.

We can't. We don't have that power unless

God gives us that power like he did to Daniel.

Daniel actually actually said what Nebuchadnezzar was dreaming

last night. He said your dream was this.

And this is the interpretation. That's if God wants to work with

us, but we can't. You tell me what I dreamt last

night. Can anyone guess?

Yeah. A Red Bull.

No, I didn't actually, because I've.

I've given up a long time ago. So I didn't.

OK. Yes.

Water. No, I didn't.

Don't. Don't guess.

It's OK. No one can guess.

Don't even go there. Don't be silly.

Don't start saying, oh, you're a cat and a dog and I don't.

Right? The point is, you can't.

You can't tell me. I can't even remember.

Honestly. Let me think.

What did I dream last night? Yeah, it was.

It was in. Right?

I don't even remember my dream. But Jesus knew the thoughts,

knew the minds. Simon thought to himself.

He said, you know when you speak, Sir, when you do that

something's going through your mind.

Simon saw this wicked and evil lady came to Jesus.

He thought in his mind and said, Jesus said, why do you think in

your mind? Because he is God.

But how can you be the power of God?

How can you show the power of God?

What is God? Tell me, what is God love?

What else? What else is God creator?

What else? He's the Father, Love,

compassion, mercy, grace, right? And that's through the power and

the will of God. You can do that.

You can portray. You must, we must.

It's hard. I know at times it's very, very

hard. And I always say I'm not going

to be a hypocrite. Sometimes I stumble, I have

difficulties, but I must. We are incumbent to do that

because you just raised your hand and I raised my hand.

I'm Christian. Are you Muslim?

No, I'm Christian. I've got Karaba.

Well, just by doing that, No, you say, no, I'm Christian.

You have a smile on your face. Why?

Because Christ is love is compassionate.

You can show the power of God. When people say to you,

gentlemen and ladies, why have you changed?

What's wrong with you? You've changed.

Why? Well, you don't cuss as much as

you do before. Why you're so dorky?

Why don't you become go along with the trend and and what the

world portrays as good. That's how you show the power of

God. You say you know what I was, but

I'm not anymore because I know Christ and not only I've been

baptized and I've been baptized by Marpolan Kasha Polan Polan

Church. No, no, no, that's not about

it's, that's not about Christianity.

No, when people say to you, why have you changed?

When people can start seeing your change, your mindset has

changed. When people see that you are

more humble, people will say to you, well, you know, during

fast, during soma, when you really offer that true soma and

not eat chicken and say, no, it's not chicken, it is it's

Bama chicken. And you know, I've gone there,

I've done that. When you truly offer your

fasting humility, people will start saying to you, wow, why

you so you've changed. That's the power of God.

When people that knew you in the world and saw you always in the

world, and then all of a sudden they see you with God, they say,

wow, what happened? That's the power of God.

When you start knowing your faith and you sit in a, a

congregation in a, in a meeting and, and there's discussions,

you don't pick up the phone and say hi, I'll be, I'm discussing

baptism with the friends. Can you send me some verses?

No, I'm not going to send you any verses.

Why should I? Because baptism is not one verse

or two verse and the verses are not there to fight, but in

purpose. No, no, no, good luck.

Go on purpose. No, yourself, you don't purpose

of Nazi, you don't do that. But when you start conversing,

you know there was an understanding of the Church of

the East many years ago that the Church of the East didn't know

how to preach. I'm in Australia, Khalil and my

girl Malachaze, 8, Mother Hadelaya Pamacruz.

They don't know the Scriptures, they don't know Saint Paul.

And you know what, let me tell you, yes, there was an element

of truth there. There was because we only

thought it's all about, you know, just come to church and

sing in the choir and that's it. But know why we didn't know.

But when the Church of the East through a few started preaching,

I remember we began a, a, a radio programme.

It was a religious radio programme in Sydney.

It went for two hours because then Internet, Internet, that's

why. But there was no Facebook,

Facebook. So it's all radio, the radio

wave microphones, right? And we started preaching.

We started opening the scriptures and and preaching the

word. Those people who would say the

Church of these don't know how to preach.

They started saying, wow, there's a revolution in the

Church of the East. How about the Church of these

has has missionized the world. OK, so when you sit and you

start conversing and not pick up your phone and say, Robbie, send

me texts. No, send me verses.

No, don't do that. Go and read, go and study.

So you come back, go and pray to the Lord, Say Lord, I want to be

able to give an answer because of my faith.

That's what the scriptures say. Always be prepared to give a

reason for your faith. Why do you believe in Jesus

Christ? Because Jesus is good?

No. Why do you believe in Jesus

Christ? Why makes Jesus different from

anyone? Why is it that Christians were

dying for Jesus Christ and today Christians are being persecuted

for Jesus Christ? Why?

Oh, because Jesus is love and it's good.

There's a lot of people that would love lovely and kind and

compassion many people. But when you stand there and you

say you know why? Because Jesus is alive, praise

his name. That's why.

Because I worship a living God. I worship a living Jesus Christ,

not a dead person. I worship a living Jesus Christ.

If his tomb is empty, which is not if for because his tomb is

empty, because he was resurrected, it makes everything

about him true. He just.

He proved that to the world. He gave us the greatest

testimony to say that yes, only Jesus, only Jesus.

Why? Because his tomb is empty,

People start saying, oh, oh, oh, you're quoting Scripture now.

You know, your parents will probably say, hey, live.

I have Akasha. No, no, Sir, I don't want to be

Akasha. If God calls me, why not?

But I need to know what it means that I must be the power of God

to people because I'm a I'm a Christian.

I'm a little Christ in this world.

Christ is not with us beloved, and as I always say, no one has

physically seen Jesus Christ right from the day of his

ascension when he went into heaven.

No one has physically seen him right now in your dreams.

Yes, people have seen I just saw a video by there is a tick.

I get TikTok. Like why would you do it on

TikTok? Apparently when I'm it's Jesus

and then he comes down and he's walking to people claiming to be

a don't believe everything. It's just silly.

No one has seen Jesus physically because he ascended into heaven

and he sat. You know, it's like he ascended

to his throne that he had come down from and he sat and that's

it. He won't move.

However, there are Christ's on earth.

That is you, that is us. We can be the we must be the

power of God. Jesus came and gave hope to the

helpless and the hopeless of the community.

Those who are totally rejected, you can do that.

You can do that. Jesus came and made Mens he, he,

he reconciled us. We were enemies.

He made peace between US and God.

You can be a peacemaker. Jesus is called peace in

Ephesians chapter 2 verse 12. You're a Christian.

Ephesians 2:12

You need to make peace. Not to put to Hadohina, not to

cause divisions, not to talk bad about one another and start

gossip about one another. And when there is a gossip, you

should not. I just say, I don't want to get

involved. You know, there's too much

drama. No, no, no, that's not enough.

Jesus didn't come down and say, oh, dad, this is terrible.

I'm just going to come back up and I can't do anything with

these people. No, no.

He made peace. He made peace on the cross.

He died. We don't need to die for one

another. When you see someone talking

bad, when there's a gossip going around, don't flame it.

You know, the scripture said a wise man conceals many matters.

When there's a gossip, you just conceal it.

You know what, just get over it. Don't do this.

But a foolish man likes to continue to just go.

Just extend the gossip and and continue it.

Peace. How can we be the wisdom of God?

We can be the wisdom of God. Of course, through God we know

everything, beloved. What we need to know, we know

through Jesus Christ. That wisdom should be portrayed

to those who don't know God. You need to, you need to be that

Bible, that scripture. The people that don't know the

Bible don't know Christ, that can read.

And again, it goes back to how we conduct ourselves.

Christianity is not just being in the church for two hours on a

Sunday and even being involved in the church, not only coming

to church, which many of you don't, which many of you don't.

We need to do something about that.

Enough is enough, right? Conference is over.

You go. I assure you, you go every

parish and look at their attendance, the pictures they

post, pre conference, post conference 8040.

Why? What does that say?

What does that say? Tell me, what does it say?

And now what does that say? They, they only come for is this

Christianity? I'm Christ like, Oh yes, I need

to come to church. I need to come to Bible studies

so that I can go, No, no, no, that's not Christianity.

Jesus Christ came on earth. He is God.

He could have blinked his enemies away, but he didn't do

that. He didn't come on earth just to

show, hey, I am God, I'm the Son of God.

No, no, actually, when they came to hail him as a king, what did

he do? He ran away.

While he walked away, He didn't want any glory.

We don't we don't come to God because we want to receive.

See that's being Christ like I don't do something for the House

of God in order to get something from the House of God.

I don't give to the House of God in order to in order to get no

when I do get. That's why the grace of God.

That's the blessings of God. I don't come to Bible studies

and to to church so that I can go to Canada next year.

That's not Christian, that's not being Christ like.

That's the scriptures. It's not me.

It's not just Kasha General's philosophy, It's not this is the

reality of Christianity. Christ knew the wisdom of God.

When they came to oppose him, to trick him, to sort of capture

him through words and they were using the scriptures.

Christ referred back to them with the scriptures again to the

point where it was time for Christ to put everyone in his

place, his oppositions. He said let me ask you a

question for for three years, let's say 2 1/2 years or so,

you've constantly come and asked me questions.

You've came and debated, you've come and showed your opposition.

Let me ask you a question, who is Christ?

Who is Jesus? He says who is the Christ?

They said the Son of day that so OK, Oh OK.

But if he is the son of David, why does David call him my Lord?

I'm not going to go into that. The Lord said to my Lord.

King David says it. The scripture said that from

that point onwards, no one dared to speak to him and question him

because they knew there was coming out second best.

So what do they do? Let's go and kill him.

That's what happens within humanity.

Marcel and I will be arguing and if I lose Kassman, I'll either

start swearing at him and becoming offensive and

disrespectful or I'll even cause harm.

You know what? Because I'm those type of

Christians, I argue Christianity.

Don't worry about other faiths in Christianity that happens.

As opposed to you know what? Thank you.

I didn't see it that way. I didn't know it that way.

Let me go back and re examine myself.

That's Christianity, that's being Christ like that's the

wisdom of God. That's the power of God.

Peace, peace. Jesus is peace.

So first and foremost, we may, we must make peace with God.

What caused enmity between US and God?

What caused it? How did we become the enemies of

God? What happened?

You know yes, what how sorry Chris find it.

I don't know even before that No actually through that we became

reconciled with God. Yes.

Yeah, we disobeyed him. Wow, what a great.

You know, sometimes it it mind boggles me that just by 1 Tina

one fig Adam and Eve ate Eve ate and gave to her husband.

We God, we set enmity dishmanauta between US and God

because it was sin, right? So number one, you need to make

peace with God. Gentlemen, if you're in sin, let

me you know, I speak, I speak Khacha openly.

Am I OK still walking right? If you're on pornographic sites,

if you're in sexual immorality, if you have hatred in your

heart, if you see someone and you want to just bash someone

because someone just looks at you, you walk.

You know, you see people bashing each other.

What happened? We don't know.

They would just walk past each other and just just start

fighting, right? That's sin.

What's wrong? That's sin.

That means you have no peace with God.

You got to make peace with God. We have to repent, ladies, you

want to show your glamour. You want to show people to how

you look, what your figure is and and how much you know what

is it looks and what have you. And you want people to attract,

you know, be attract and what have you.

That's not that's immorality. We need to make peace with God.

If God's yes, and I've always said this, if God's yes is a no

in your life, you need to make peace with God because there's

an enmity, but you don't need to go and crucify yourself.

Let me tell you, you don't need to go and get a big shape and

cut the head off and put blood on your you don't need to do

that. That's done.

That's finished. You get on your knees.

It's the distance is from the knee to the floor.

You get on your knees and you say, Lord God, Jesus Christ,

I've sinned. Forgive me, forgive me, Lord,

come to the church, be absolved by the church and you have peace

with God. That's the only time we can make

peace with others. If I don't have peace with the

Lord in my heart, there is no way.

It's very difficult that I can make peace with us and let alone

bring others to peace because like Moses did.

Let me tell you what Moses is. Moses was in Egypt and he saw an

Egyptian soldier who was beating a Jew.

He went to sort of tell him not to do it.

Bang, he fell and he died. And then Fast forward, there

were two people fighting. Two Jews were fighting.

Moses went and said, hey, hey, what are you doing?

He said. They said, who are you to tell

us what to do? You're a murderer.

We thought you killed a Egyptian, but he didn't mean it.

It was accidental. Accidental.

We have to first make peace with God, be at peace with God, be at

peace with others. Then you can bring peace to big

priest between others. And lastly, Jesus is a spiritual

food, a spiritual drink and a spiritual rock. 1 Corinthians

10. Let me read it to you.

One Corinthians 10 versus three to four.

Yet I have sent actually, I always start with a OK three to

four for though we do live an earthly life, yet we do not

serve worldly things. Here's another worship night

topic for the weapons which we use.

Is it 1 Corinthians? No reason it's two Corinthians.

See, See no one said to me, Robbie, that's not the right,

right verse. In any case, chapter 10, verses

three and four, one Corinthians and all.

Let me let me start one. Moreover, brethren, I want you

to know that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all

passed through the sea, and all were baptized by Moses, both in

the cloud and in the sea. And all ate the same spiritual

food which came down from heaven.

And all drank the same spiritual drink which came down from the

rock. For they drank of that spiritual

rock that followed them, and that rock was Jesus Christ.

How can you be a spiritual food? How was must we try and toil and

and make every effort to be spiritual for now?

When someone is hungry, are you going to give them a drink?

Someone comes here and says I'm starving and you say drink this

water, all right, but I'm not sure I'm starving.

And what's the reaction when someone who's starving eats?

Is it or is it? That's nice?

No, I'm filled. We need to be food for people.

First we need to go. Those who are spiritually

starving of the love of Christ, the grace of Christ, the

knowledge of Christ, the relationship with Christ, we

need to go and tend to them. How do you do that?

Very simple. What do you do Friday nights?

What do you do Friday nights? Oh, I go to Bible studies.

What? Since when?

That's a good. That's a good sign.

When someone says are you, you say yes.

Me. Yeah.

What's wrong with you? Oh, you've noticed.

There's nothing wrong. I go to Bible studies on Friday

night. Why?

Because I love the Lord. Not because I want to go to

conference, because I love the Lord.

Not because I just want to chill out with friends.

We do that afterwards. No, because I love the Lord.

Do you have a relationship with God?

What do you mean? Which God?

Come along. Why don't you come along?

Tell me a little bit about your Lord.

Well, right now I don't know much because I'm now in that

learning process. Come along.

And when you do come, let me tell you something.

When you walk into the church, you can't be wearing shorts

because why? I don't know much, but I know

we're in the presence of God. You see, you're becoming the

wisdom of God, the power of God. You're, you're giving this

person food when you come to church, you know, no tank tops.

No, you know, relax. It's not about picking up

someone there. It's in the House of God.

Sorry, you can't do that. You don't need to go and put

3000 kilos of makeup on. You know, you don't need to do

that. You were going to God.

You're starting to feed this person.

And then where does the spiritual dream come into play

is when that person comes and sits here.

I'll, I've shared this with you. I'll share it with you again.

Who's been to Sydney? Great.

Are you been to Saint Peter and Paul Parish?

No. OK.

When you go to Sydney, there are three parishes in Sydney and one

on the way. Mats Mariam Church, St.

Hermes Church. That's where you're baptized.

St. Hermes Cathedral, Right.

And Saint Peter and Paul Parish. The parish priest is Bash and

Neil Dasha Neil I knew when he was young.

I used to go to his father's house.

He used to do video editing. I'm to DVDZ welcome.

Then I I hardly saw him at church.

Actually might be Christmas. The CEO no CE, not even O Ocean

as a maybe not Robbie. If I'm, if I'm mistaken, forgive

me. One Friday evening just like

this. We had Wednesday Bible studies

and we would have Friday preaching, one Friday, Neil

Mccoo. Then his friends invited him.

And by the way, his friends were Italian.

They used to come to preaching. His friends invited him to to

that Friday preaching. To my shame, you know, that's

what we're human beings. When he walked in, I thought,

oh, it's an idea. Yeah, he's probably friends and

you know, anyway he heard the message.

He comes and goes. Hi Darby.

I said, Neil, good to see you. I mean, you know, he's a good

sermon. I I enjoyed the sermon.

It's great from that day, from that day, Neil would be Friday

evening preaching. He would be Wednesday evening

Bible studies, every gathering unless he was working.

Then he became a reader, a Lecter.

Then he became a subdeacon. And one day I went one of them

on Monomoid troops back to Australia.

We were we would slaughtered Ramshaw and I saw so Shamash and

Neil walk up to the podium with a hood dry in his hand.

I'm thinking Marbin Yaman, Christian's cousin.

Marbin Yaman said listen and he said the poem Shapir Vishana

where he goes. He learned from Ravi Raja and

now he's serving as a priest. So what happened?

His friend fed him. He said come, he came.

And you know, when he gave him the drink is when he came.

Something touched his heart, his mind.

That's when he's probably gone. You know when you drink, you go.

Why? Because the thirst is quenched.

That's how you can be. You can be that spiritual food

by telling people about your relationship, but not being

hypocrites. I'm not saying that I go to

church every Friday or I go to church every Sunday, but my

conduct in love, whether it's social media, whether it's

hanging out, whether it's at school, whether it's at work,

it's totally different and contrary.

No, no, no. When you bring that person, you

fed the person when he drinks is when he he is the word of God.

Something touches his heart because you know what?

It's God that's bringing him, and then you can be that rock,

meaning that person is built upon the rock, which is Jesus

Christ. You that Christ bought him to

Jesus Christ, you're that little Christ.

That's what Christianity means, beloved.

It doesn't mean how my who my tribe is and how many priests

were in my household, how many bishops I've had in my

household, how much money I donate to the, how much work I

do for the church. That's it's, it's good.

I don't want to write this off. This is great.

But to be called Christian means you are fulfilling the role of

Christ in society. And if you think, if you're

thinking me, who me? That's what King David did.

King David was a brother of seven.

I believe he was a shepherd. He is that playing his harp and

he was tending to his sheep. God said to his son, his his

father. Jesse said, I want I want one of

your sons. He brought all of them at home.

And then like, stand up, Isaac, like here I am, Lord, right?

No, no, no, no. I don't want that.

I don't want that. You have one.

He said, oh, Pudana, you know, he's like that, that that he's a

shepherd. He goes not I want him because

my strength is seen in the weakness of people.

Don't ever ride yourself off. Don't ever think, gentlemen,

you're probably thinking that, yeah, I got things to do.

We're going to go out and hang out.

Whatever it is. Don't ever think that God will

not use you one day. Don't ever think because Neil

who came on Friday, if I had asked him, Neil, do you want to

be a priest, he would have laughed at me, but he is now a

priest. Ladies, don't ever think that

because you're a woman, God will not use you.

You go and look in the Scriptures how many women God

used one woman who was at the well who was talking to Jesus

Christ went to her city brought all her city to Jesus Christ.

One woman, right equality is with Jesus, with Jesus Christ.

Don't ride yourselves off. Continue your utmost best and

try and continue and putting your your effort and your whole

life on being that Christ. One day God may say I want to

use you and then that's when your your life is your

foundation is rocked and your life is turned around 180°,

especially when God is glorified through what you do.

So be that Christian that we must be.

If there is nothing you've understood from this message,

start reading the scriptures and see what Jesus Christ was.

That is what we must be. We must be, because we have that

precious title of Christians. We're not called the people of

the way. We are now called Christians.

Meaning they're a little Christ that's on earth.

Praise and glory be to his name, now and at all times and

forever. Amen.
