Power of What’s left | Elder Kien yiak

You're listening to a message to go from at church.

We hope this message will light up your teath.

What's left? I mean, what's what's what's the balance?

Like?

Yeah, I think many times our life, friends, many times,

you know, in our life, in our journey, Right, we

always talk about abundance.

We always talk about the extra.

But today I want to talk about what's what's the balance?

Because most times, actually we look at what's the balance?

More we look at what's the abundance or time? For example, right,

the balance of time and everything? What to do with it?

Uh?

What's left in our pantry? Right? How many packers are making?

Me left before we declare famine will strike our room?

Uh?

What's left with our finances, especially during the time of sale?

Uh? What's left of our social quarter?

When your boyfriend or girlfriend on the setter issue at

two o'clock in the morning. What's left of our strength?

When your boss calls you in for meeting? You know,

very celebrate, we focus on we all focused on the strength.

Strength is very attractive, isn't it? Strength is very attractive?

But what's left?

Friends?

I want to encourage you, what's left? It's also attractive?

Whish me to say that it's not the end of

the world. Just because that we do not have strength

doesn't mean we are a failure.

Okay, can just see that.

Just because that when you receive something and fear grips

your heart, it doesn't mean that we are weak.

It happens. Nothing can prepare.

Us for things, and if you can are prepared for things, friends,

then you are God. Nothing can fully prepare you for

Let's say, for example, you get.

The news that really shook you to the call.

And you go like, I mean, you know, I came

from a meeting not many days ago and in a meeting.

You know, we're just having some honor discussion. We rent

to the meeting place. We're having a meeting meeting right

and uh, in the meeting friends, we're talking and just

honor sharing. You know, first, when you when you do

honor sharing friends, there will be some emotion.

Cry. Not when you do on the sharing.

There'll be some some people get a bit more emotional

than some other people. Correct, now, Uh, those people have

got a bit more emotional.

Stuthed hearing and started crying. Now it's fads. It is

not a confrontational meeting.

It was one of the meetings where we're going to

some some stuff, all right, some numbers and things like that.

So we have to we we literally have to say.

That, look, this meeting is about saying that you're bad

or I did that, we're just going to some numbers.

So the person was like crying, like you know, like

you know, in tears. I could see other team members

of mine and carrying the other person right.

But me being me, I was looking at the time

I got two more hours.

To the meeting room before I have to surrender. By

the meeting room, I wanted to say that, hey, I

know you're crying right now, but I got to continue

the meeting. I know you're in tears right now, but

can I just continue? I of course, I got for

more points that they.

Go to.

First. It doesn't mean just because we.

Can I see, we don't have the kind of empathy

with other people that we are bad all rather or

not that you're not good or if you're in tears,

if you happened in the meeting that I'm in and

you're in tears, doesn't mean that just because you're a

theory of we are weak. Some people are like that. Right,

you talk to a person.

You just happened to have conversation and people started crying.

Right, It happens on friends and know it's the worst

thing you get caught in.

Why do you make the other person cry?

Having been there before enough, friends were just having conversation, conversation.

Right and after that it happened to.

Me just recently union, Just recently, I was talking to

somebody in a particular services, having a conversation that patic

services of friends.

It doesn't help when I.

Got this look like youngster, like, I don't really smile

a lot, spilating a lot of energy, so I rather

not smile concert and energy. But anyway, I was talking

to this person and she was just sharing about her

family situation right in congregation, way started crying. First thing

in my mind I went through, like a little more,

don't cry. Don't cry right now because they may think

that I made you cry. Please don't cry. Then next

thing I knew was again this is what's left up?

I went like, so, anyway, how are the things in

your life? The person in tears, Okay, now I want

to encourage you this morning is just because sometimes you

don't have the capacity to minister to summer at that

particular moment.

It doesn't mean that it's not good anymore.

I know I'm not sure where you understand where I

put it properly for you to understand me not I'm

not very good with language. I will try to explain this.

So let me think, Let me think of I got

I got so many stories to share with your How

much time do I have?

Okay?

And I was given into one o'clock anyway, anyway anyway

can share this with your so something with me or

may not note that that we have a place out

it Ecosanctuary.

Our Ecosanctuary.

Right now from subang Jaya to Bunting is fifteen minutes

drive lima Plo minutes drive all the way there one way,

so to and four is.

Close to one hundred as it close about two hours,

about two hours, right about close to two hours, two hours, Tress,

you can go to Malaccurity. I want you think now.

I thought I have all the documentations, so I went

to the office to submit, only to find out the

person say, mister Wong, I'm so sorry you're missing document

abcd EFG. Okay the first time, right first time? You

decide okay, no problem, I'll go back to the office.

I'll get all the documentation for you. I will go

back the next day, at which I did. I went

back the next day again.

Now this is that.

Three hours based on the journey. Ready, three hours on

the journey. Ready can go almost to Singapore. Ready almost

we chack Singapore atas we need right now, right, mister warm,

thank you so much for giving ABCD.

But how about h I j K l M document.

Now, friends, I'm not sure at that point in time,

as a believer that you have the capacity to smile

at the officer.

Not I share this message.

In one particular service, a guy came up to me, Elder,

I want to let you know this is considered EASERD

in my country. He says, his dad was trying to

get the visa for his wife. See, in my country,

my dad went to the immigration office seventy times seven

zero time, just to make sure that the application gets true.

And sometimes when you go to situations like their friends.

Right, all your energy just goes out the window.

When you receive, let's say, for example, a news that

you're supposed to go for a particular meeting, and you know.

That you have good feelings about the meeting, isn't it

true that sometimes even before the meeting starts, we supposed

to happen next week.

This week, you're already feeling tired this week. Really, you're

feeling defeated this week. You go like, why me?

Why did I say yes to the Lord? Why are

the clicks that I'll say yes one? Why is it you?

Why did I open my mouth? I just say I'll

handle it. Some We are smiling because you understand you've

been to that before. Let me tell you the scripture

right now. First King chapter seventeen, verse eight. We're going

away from verse eight all the way to sixteen one.

King's chapter seventeen, verse eight. Then the word of Lord

came to him, saying, riots, go the Zerahath, which belongs

to Sidon Drew.

There.

See, I've commanded a reader there to provide for you.

Pass you for a moment, friends, ministers, leaders. If you

get this from the word of the Lord God spoke

to you, a reader shall provide for you.

You go like, of all person reado, why not someone

who's well to do, someone who's got extra someone who

has all the support? Why a redo somewhere?

As leaders, friends, and won let you know the first

thing it comes to our MINDY is like, this cannot

be from the Lord, right, this cannot be from the

Lord because.

The low so so we can run. The Lord is

not so bad one.

But if you use our human mind to interpret how

God works, friends, we will miss out on a lot of.

Opportunities that prepare for us. You mean someone, friends, look

at this scripture, our command of riddle, and how many of.

Us here as even as leaders. As a person, God

speak to you up go to ten am, someone there

shall provide for you. For example, out comes a person.

You go like, no way, I know his financial background,

no way, I know his situation.

I know he's going to help. A person comes up

to you smiling.

I think many times the journey we see no to

too many God opportunities come on.

When God has already prepared a brick for.

You, go like, no, this cannot be, these cannot be.

This is not right, Lord, How can you use a video?

Shame on you, Lord, And that's what we carry ourselves.

That's how we interpret situation. But I want to encourage

you this one. Would you open out our hearts and

worse trying to say that Elijah Rose, Elijah Rose came

to the gate of the city. Indeed, Wow, confirmation that

a reader was there. Yeah, he hasn't asked anything yet. Imagine, Elijah,

you decide, Oh, bay God, maybe you heard from the

Lord you went there. Maybe you wrongly? There you go

up there, nobody show up. Praise Lord hallela. At least

you obeyed. Go all the way that the widow was

right there, friends. The Bible says that he called to

her and said, please bring me a little water in

a cup that I may drink next scripture verse eleven.

And as she was going to get it, he caught

her again and said, please bring me a muster of

bread in your hand. So she said to you, as

the Lord your god lives, I do not have bread,

but only a handful of flower in a band.

A little of all in a jar. And see I'm.

Gathering a couple of sticks that I may go in

prepare it for myself, my son, that I eat. And

now there's a response TOI, joky, what's the thing? It

gets better then, el like you say to a whole

poor thing, It's okay. He said, do not fear, go

and do this, Go and do as you have said.

Hang on, go and do as you have said, could

you imagine a leader and you're sharing your heart out,

your heartbroken and stuff like that. It's okay to be

heartbroken and want you imagine right now. This is not

a perfect answer for a lady who's in the situation.

Go do as you have said. I want I want

you to understand.

First, Elijah and the widow you do not know each

other beforehand.

Have you ever been there before?

Not?

Out of the blue.

Out of the blue happens many times before. You get

a text from somebody in church, so and so can

you do? Can you do something?

Or not? No?

Good morning, afternoon? How are you who? All things are

well with you? You get those emails and says good morning.

I hope this email finds you well. You ever get

the car email before? Have you got the email before?

Like dear John, have you you ever submitted your report?

Do it now? Thank you?

Sarah will may find those email offensive true or not?

Elighten say to her, do not fear, go and do

it if you're sick, if you were the widow, friends

you got oh who are you?

Come on?

First of all, you never even ask me how are you?

Have you eaten the nod? How is your family, all

things well with you? Is there editing I could pray for?

We always try to selft lend the instruction self lending

the instruction.

You know what I mean?

You ask everything nice first, that you sleep one time. Hey,

by the way, can you help me with this? Not Elijah,

the Rido friends, come on the Rido friends. All she

said was this is all that I have. I would

eat it for myself, for my son, and I would die, Elijah.

Just when and obey God.

You would think in your toughest situation people will be

more compassionate.

You would think that in.

Your toughest situation you expect other people to be to

do to understand what I'm.

Going to right now.

When Jesus was crucified, there was by devotion is more

this was crucified. Nobody give him like poor thing who

put the crowd of tones upon you, who whipped you.

I will get back there. Who knew you to the cross?

You have to carry your own instruments of death by yourself,

I'll get Nobody will offer him any compassion, carry the

cross himself.

They knew him to the cross.

They mock him, the speed at him. And sometimes we

have this illusion whereby I will expect people to understand me.

I mean it's nice that. Come on, if you're going

to some stuff or you want people to surround you

to love you.

Right, I was telling the Aam just now.

Sometimes you know it's growing up when we're crying, our

parents trying to manage us, right and stuff like why

stuff asking us why you crying. The loveder you cry,

the harder the slap comes. The louder you cry, the

harder the slap comes.

Right.

Some of you're looking at me like what an abusive

family you grew up in? But you understand Salvia who

went through that. For the louder you cry or cry louder,

my mama loves you. Cristam Christ some more, cry louder, louder, louder,

slept one time, not loud enough second time. I may

always do that, all right, loud friends, we forgive a month,

and we forgive our parents and the author.

After that we receive Christ.

But I'm not sure how many of us are like

the woman just say like, sorry, what did you say?

Elijah? You ask me to do? Likewise you ask me

to give you a break.

I don't have enough and something because we don't have enough.

You know what happens we stop everything. I can't. I'm

not good at preaching, so I wouldn't do.

You know one of the toughest things, really, friends, What the

toughest thing I find is this that being in church.

Being in church, we're all very different. Can see they

say this, We're all very different. Everybody carry different anointing.

It's okay, what there is no comparison. Can I just

sit and carriage you out? A very good teacher. But

if I were to do stuff like him, friends, I

would fail because I cannot read as well as him.

He has the capacity to read.

I stayed in this room with him for five nights,

five days of five five nights in Bakassi.

Every night he was reading. I was watching YouTube videos.

About lost puppy being adopted, lost kingdom being adopted.

And I'm like, whah, there is a girl out there.

He's reading the Bibe. I'm like, it's okay.

I'm not sure where we are at right now, Verse fifteen, Okay,

I gotta go with it. Should she read the rad

there according to the world Elijah? And she said, and

she and her and her household it for many days.

The bed of flower was not used up, nor the

job or used up. According to the word of the

Lord which is spoke by Elijah. Point number one is

these friends can just encourage you.

Do not let the situation get to you.

Friends, do not let the situation get to you. Because

many times friends in our life, when we hear bad news,

for example, challenging news, what happens our heart is like a.

Sponge it is.

I'm not ascuers to be immune from fear. I'm not

excused to like when fear comes, I'm superman. Fear won't

touch me. But we will experience fear, we will experience sadness,

we will experience different emotions. By asking us that don't

let those emotions. Don't let those situations get.

And overwhelm my hearts.

The situation could be tough, and the next like, even

though the situation could be tough.

Friends, we shouldn't let it overwhelm our hearts.

We will definitely feel sad, we will definitely feel like.

I don't understand you. Lord, if you were the reader

you hear these.

Instructions, friends, don't you go like, lor I don't understand.

This is all that I have and you asked me

to serve this all that I have that you're ask

me to serve. I'm not sure how many of us

here are very conscious with our self, very conscious with

ourself just because we cannot clap and beat, we don't clap, think.

About it, just.

Because we cannot clap in beat and someone told you

before every other way, can you clap properly or not?

Can you clap properly or not?

Right?

You become very conscious after what you don't want to

clap because someone makes a lot of comments. I get

a lot of commands from different home leaders. Elder, can

you don't stand next to me because when you stand

next to me, I cannot sing? Happened to me, not once,

by at least five to six times, to really, please

stand further away so I can sing in key, so

I know how to start the song, so I know

how the song. Recently, my recent home is the home leader.

The home leader was about to start the first song right,

she's a pitch perfect person, perfect pitch of friends. She

started the first soft fast, she went out already, but

a bit she look at me. Please stand away from

me now. If you are being reminded, being reminded friends

that you can't sing.

We will just don't singer because we allow the situation

to overwhelm my heart. You're so conscious boy. If I sing,

then my wife would tell me not to sing in

the car. She said, please sing properly. I say this

proper word, I said, did you know the true quarter

of the world cannot sing in key?

When you get to Hell, they won't sing in key.

You deal with it right now, or you deal with

it heaven.

You choose. You choose right.

I say, you go to concert, the person out of

tune all around you.

What are you going to do the error to stop singing? Ah?

I felt indicated by the Lord.

And because of that first we stop doing it. You

cannot shake hands, you cannot smile and do do anything right,

just because the first time you did s always ship

packed with somebody the person decided to give out.

On the faith happen to me. I did start pack

with somebody.

Next day I got a text, thank you so much

for spending time doing the starter pack with me. There,

I think I'll go back to become a Buddhist as

a personal nothing wrong when she's on the journey. It's

finding no problem, my friends, no problem, create everyone's on

the journey. I'm not condemning the person, nothing at all,

nothing at all. First please understand this, But when you

receive the characteristic like failure, come on, is it you

everyone who went to start the back success straight?

While friends, only you do start the.

Back the person decide to give out on the faith?

What are the odds? What are the odds?

Where you're preaching people for asleep looking at the handful

not paying attention to you. You thought, in your mind,

you preach the best message and people will get saved,

and the altar there should keep telling people the reason

why I seeing off key because in my mind I

thought I'm seeing on key. In my mind I thought

I'm seeing like the CD. So friends, I want to

encourage you. Friends, do not let the thing get to

you first, because we have something greater. Within the Second Coreentition,

chapter four, ward seven to nine.

Second Coreentie, chapter fourward seven to night.

We now have this light shining in our hearts, but

we ourselves are like fragile. Please just containing this great treasure.

Come on, we have this great treasure. This makes it

clear that our great power is from God, not from ourself.

Many times you think that I got to fortify my

own heart. I cannot let emotions get to be We cannot

get friends.

You can't. You cannot be immune to bad news. You can't.

That's how God made us friends. My wife does not

understand me why I watch people like to adopt straight

dogs and straight cats. She said that it's a waste

of time. I say, you know, it's so happy. Look

at those cute little puppies and senior.

Dogs getting adopted. Right.

My wife don't understand because she never grow up with

a pet anymore. Before I grew up with a lot

of pet dogs, my grandparents had a lot like why

do you let the dog lick your face? Why do

you not let don't lick your lips? I say, it's dollar,

it's fine word, it's a friend. She looked at me, like,

that's so dirty. I say this the simple You're going

to keys later. Friends, I'm not sure. Sometimes friends just

because again I'm emphasized it, just because someone told you

that before. We keep saying no. And that's the reason

why we don't have break two.

In our life. That's the reason why we've never the

words grow up from our faith.

It goes on worse eight We are pressed on every

side by trouble. Come on, pressed on every side by trouble.

But we are not crushed. We can only claim this

when we understand and we know that we have the

power of God living within us. The Bible say we

are pressed on every side. First, you know, one of

those pressed like I press.

You with a cushion like that.

Okay, many times we try to imagine scriptures there, like

maybe God is pressing us with a cotton candy, right,

with a soft pillow.

With some of who's like jelly like that. Then you

you you you blend in. If you ever get squashed

before first, you know, the feeling is not nice, like

like the leaft you're.

Going to take off towards go down. Someone just say

I want to get in you gota cannot fit. You

want to get in right, and you are there squeeze.

Being squeezed first. It's not a fun thing.

So I used to I grew ub an era before

the rot, so we used I used to take public

transportation to work. I want to let you know I

thank God for this hike I do because at this

hype phrase, I get fresh air, at this height, I

get fresh air. Anyone who shotted at me. Friends, it's

very challenging. I tell you what happened. There was a

time whereby it was so packed the bus. Everyone was

holding on to the railing on top right, and the

bus was great at the fast.

You know, our buses are very good drivers. You are

very good bus drivers. Got the fast break, accelerate.

Break one time, emergency break, emergency bake.

I keep you not.

I was holding on to it, so I just moved

a bit. But I saw someone with my own eyes,

shorter than me, who actually actually ran backward to another passenger. Umpit,

I ken't you not. The other guy was holding the

that and it was wet. It was wet, friends. I

could her face make contact with the this part and immediately.

Fands she wanted to throw up frids.

The Bible here says that we are pressed on all sides.

That's what happens when you're pressed on all sides. The

Bible says that we are not crushed.

It doesn't mean that.

You come out the same shape, but you're not just

crushed reds. You still come out alive. We're hunted down,

but never abandoned by God. Come on, you are never

abandoned by God.

That's a situation.

Does you you felt that you got abandoned by God?

Did you know that the cybers got into the boat

when Jesus cost the other side. The first thing that

the decibers said to Jesus where the trouble was, is

that God, don't you care that we are dying? Don't

you care that we are dying? When you're in situation? Friends,

that's what happened to us. Don't you care?

Lord?

So in our chip took to Clanton about last month,

to Clanton.

Friends.

We left Shahlah by five forty five am. We got

to Clandon by forty tea in the afternoon. Everything was okay, friends,

until we passed the borders between Pahang and Clanton. Because

the moment you passed Pahang borders to enter Clanton, Friends,

it's a different country altogether. The road system are different,

slightly different, very different. Why do you let you know, friends,

the weaker that we were traveling in France broke down

in the middle of nowhere, broke down in the middle

of nowhere.

When you experience.

Stuff like the first thing that comes to your mind.

All five of us in the car are ministers number one,

number two, is.

That go where are you? Why do you have to

test us? Test other people? Got better?

Castler number one? You go two things like that friends.

But when to my mind was a God, why now

why this? I understand? Car break down here and there.

It happens at first. It's not that you can prevent

it altogether. But I thought to myself, Lord, why in

the middle of nowhere when you come out from the

car frience, all you see is that seero on one

side or put on the other side. It it's not

like playing rarely like that. It's the really the middle

of nowhere. And if you were alone by yourself, you

can take it, you know, you just okay, you call

your friend, Hey, where you are?

I mean, PJ, can you come to god Musa and

pick me up a lot?

I mean you can just wait it out right right

where they sleep in the color under the hot sun.

Can. But when you other people, you go like other

people are.

Being inconvenience and you felt a burden because you were

leading your driving anyway.

So I was there and this is what Passa had

to say to me. God, cross the car.

Allow the car to break down just about fifty meters

away from summer, who can fix the car.

The bill came.

Out to be eighty five in git, not a couple

of hundreds.

Sufficient for us to get us there and back.

The scripture says that we are not ever abandoned by God.

It's so true, past, I have to tell me this.

Can I want you to do that. God did not

bring you so far out in god Musa just to

leave you alone.

It's the statement you heard before.

God will never leave you until unless you're in the situation.

You know, you know, you know you're in a situation

when people tell you that, don't worry, God will provide you.

Go.

Okay, I heard it before, right, but I think you

really need the resources you God. Thank you Jesus, Thank

you Lord. So when we're there, friends, God came to we.

We did our meeting over there. We came back, got

stuck in the jam the tunnel and the gun Thing

tunnel all of a sudden, do not know why. Every

time we travel road warks happened from the all the

lamb become one tunnel only working. Got back the next day,

I got everything checked out. My mechanic came up to

me and just say this, how on earth can you

come back. I see why in your car there's other

two more pipes that's cracked already, two other radio pipes

that that there has a reasonible crack.

When it has to be gone.

We will start in the gym. We will start in

the situation we didn't know what was happening. Friends, I

won't let you know. You will never be abandoned by God.

You get knocked down, but we're now destroyed. Someone to

encourage you. Friends, No matter what situation you are in,

you may not know the fullness of it.

But it doesn't mean just because.

Your river destination you expect to be perfect, meaning to

say that your head must be in place with your

ver destination. Sometimes in your raver destination, it's messy. It

is okay, So my recent trip to Becassin to Bocassie.

You know we will every mission trip will taught the

pack where you're like very like, not enough cloning, just

recycling right, not enough underwhere, just flipping around, just use

it again. It's okay, what mission tree, mission tree, come

out church in this mission tree.

It happens and stuff like that. Right, I've never put

anything extra right?

Need me just recycle? Same ship?

Can there for two days right because the smells the same.

Now anyway, I think you want to have the first.

It never happened to me before. I was I wished

the airport. I wished the airport.

Friends, next thing, I know, our friends. My pants zip

broke broke in my twenty six years with ex Church

mission trip.

It had never happened before. Could you imagine right now

you're queuing up next to your wife, so everyone now

why why so like extual breeze coming in right and

you are there queuing up like okay, maybe you forgot

it happens sometimes, you know, we rushing for the zip

all right, But first I zip.

Up, came down, zip up, came down. The whole zip broke.

I said, what are the odds? What are the odds?

I have never paid extra pens for my trip one

you know, friends, never in my training sixties of the

mission trip, never pat extra pens.

Do not know worry that that trip, that trip. I

decided to try you one extra pens.

See, friends, you will never be abandoned by God. Let

me share one more story with your while we were there,

not show how many of you know we ran Becassi

because he had a really bad train accident, really bad

train accident.

Why was this that there was a passenger train the

RT friends banger car, The car was on the tracks,

so that the mr T was on the train tracks

for one hour trying to sort things out.

Full passenger was on the track. An hour later another

train full speak carrying all the goods work the passenger train.

Fifteen souls died on the spot, and so happened.

It's fifteen ladies died.

On the spot because the first carriage and the last

carriage a female only carriage. You may ask, like, why

didn't the light singer come on? You say that the signer,

the like signer, the naked to soda wasn't working since

day one? Why did they remain on the track for

solar We do not know, but won't let you know. Friends,

what happened when what we what we found out was

this that Pastor Frantz's.

Daughter was supposed to be on the train.

Because there's the traine she normally used to get back home,

and she so happened she get home about seven or

about nine o'clock because it takes the three hours to

get to work at three.

Hours to come six hours. Friends, you made these committing

six hours just for a job. She don't know why.

That particular day she was coming back, a voice promper,

get out one station earlier.

She was in the last carriage. The voice spoke to her,

get out one station earlier.

She said, how is this one this earlier? It's further

away that my brother can pick me up. The boys

just straight up get out one station earlier.

She got out.

Brother can't pick her up. There was the stage she's

supposed to stop. She went to sleep.

She woke out, wanted something in the morning because a

lot of phone calls came.

Are you okay? Are you in the train? She said,

what happened? There was a bad accident. She just cried

on the spot because God had spent her life. I

want to let you know our God would never and

then you.

He won't. He never living or forsake youre friends the

next life.

It's because we have the Holy Spirit within us, teaching

and guiding us, convicting us about the things of God.

That is why we're able to withstand the temptations to confirm.

The Holy Spirit is there to whisper to you. Get

off one station earlier. The Holy Spirit is there to

guide you to lead you. He whispers to you forgive,

He tells you to let certain things go. He's asking

us to put away the phones in our devotion because

I got something to speak to you.

The widow was alone and had litter, but she did

not allow the situation to tell how her worship should be.

She had litter, friends share litter? What's that share litter?

Many others see your fairs. We have litten.

We ran to so much suffway, that's all we have

right now, especially those of youall who are still dating one.

You like to set the issues at one a m.

In the morning, one.

And one in the morning, your boyfriend call you, I

want to want I will talk to your stuff for you.

And nobody did want to hear. Oh jenda, nobody did hear.

And okay, you can understand all hold to serve the

lot right all the way right, amen, hallelujah, praise Lord

here should go for it.

Now that's just sila anyway.

So when we were talking to different months friends, you're

talking to the different once said, hey, why do you

always set the issue with so much energy left? At

eleven PM and nine You try to resolve issues when

you are no more patience, no more energy, no more

social quota. Come on, and we'll tell people this that look.

Do not allow how the situation get to you. Dictell

how you should worship. We allow disappointment to get to us,

We allow discouragement to get to us. She was seeing

gathering sticks and was willing to bring a jar water

for Elijah.

She was seeing gather drink sticks.

And carry a job water for Elijah, even though they.

Were experiencing draft.

It was a time there was no rain. There was

a time there was no water. Water was a very

expensive thing. Your time is very expensive, Your attention is

very expensive. I think many times it's our own choice

of life. Friends, we rather keep this for ourself, We

rather keep this for ourself. One of the things I've

learned when I traveled was this that whenever you go

to a parata country, the first day you eat a lot.

The first day you really eat a lot, the breakfast

you really weg.

So I can't see by the time we wished the

third day. We were there five days.

The third day all we could afford was two sided

evan toast. Oh I could afford and God just begin

to just minister and speak to me. Many times in

our life, right, we just keep hearing messages getting filled

to the brain and after a while, friends, even though

the message could be good, the buffet could be good,

but there's no more space come on in your life

to receive any more.

No more space in your life to receive any more? Why?

Because you keep saying no, No to the opportunity of

God prepared for you, No to the situation that God

has a.

Christian for you. First, we have said so many times

no that that's the reason why. After a while we

go like, I've heard this before.

So don't let your current situation define your ability, because

your created knows. Come on, your creator knows that you

can know all things. Show him, friends, God knows your ability.

He does, he does.

It's because we keep saying no. That's the reason why

we never experience his fullness. She chose to be a

blessing even though she didn't enough. She chose to be

a blessing even though she didn't have enough. Do you

know that the lady with the two couple of coins?

Do you know how hard is it to give an

offering when people look at you? How hard does it give?

Everyone?

The Bible says give out from the abundance the mean.

In other words, when they released the back of coins,

that was sound. What sound can two couple coins make

instead of a.

A bag of coins?

May not be much, but the Bible says that this

lady gives her best. She did not allow the circus

sensor to dictate her worship. She may not enough strength,

but she chose to be a blessing. When I got

saved in an age of sixteen friends, the speaker just

did this. Those of her who wanted to receive Jesus,

would you put up your hands? So I raised up

my hands. Are of course the speaker did the necessaries

or eyes closed, all hit bow right, but first you

know the majority of people to close eyes.

So I lift up my hands. Okay.

Now for those of y'all who lift up your hands,

could you please stand?

Okay? I stood.

I stood, thinking that's it all right, pray and receive Jesus.

For those of her you are standing right now, could

you please walk to the front. I was in a

thousand member church. Do you know how weird it is

that people are looking at you? Do you know that

even no people say that do not look like my friends?

Or I saw that people look at you because I

speak are to say, come on, let's give you a

hand for this person's walking down the owl. People of

course want to see who received Jesus. As I was walking, friends,

I saw so many eyes looking.

At my back and were like.

The pressure of a sixteen year old person walking up

to the front of the stage. And I was the

only person friends in the midst of the congregation. And

sometimes then just because people are looking at.

Us, we stop doing it. We stopped doing it, felt judge.

Some people will look at this whindow and just say that, hah,

you give Elighten, you only a small piece of braider.

How can you do that to him? You must always

give your best. You can do better than this. Huh

you want to do home, sir? What food do you surf?

Meggi me only? Come on, at least label your meggi

me cannot because people don't know where let's carry our

chicken flavor.

Come on, you can do better than this. And so

happened that day.

Fast You had a rough moment at work, and this

all the best you could offer at the moment in time.

And because the summer's comment like that, you know what happens.

We stop.

What we're supposed to do. We stop being a blessing.

We stop being a blessing. She choose to serf even

though she did have strength. The Bible says that I'll

make this brain for myself. After this, I'll die. She

chose to serf even though she have strength. Thank you

so much, I go hunger in fifteen minutes. She chose

to serve, and she did have strength. Very potter for

us to understand this, Fresdt. Many times I see so

many people just say no because although you don't understand

what I'm going to I may not understand, but God understands.

I may not fully understand, but God understands. And when

God present your opportunity, it's not because we want you

to sell friends. God's giving you opportunity for break.

Truth.

See Elijah, friend was sem by God into her life

so she can experience a supernatural or sem by God

into a life so she could experience a supernatural. And Elijah,

you don't say you serve me right now, you get

a brick truth, say this is the word of Lord.

You have to believe. You have to believe.

She chose to serve even though she did has strength

the brick to happened within her first. Come on, it

must happen within your heart first before it could happen externally.

It must if I continue allow friends, people come out.

Stop singing.

Cannot because when you singer, I cannot hear the angels.

First.

I won't singing congregation. I will not sing anywhere else.

I will just keep quiet. It doesn't mean just because

it cannot play a full call that you should stop playing.

Friends.

When you sing, you sing onto the lord friends, and

you don't see out of kuiler to irritate the person

behind you or next to you.

You don't do that, friends.

Number two, it is that gods that work show the

process of refinery. Come on, gods that work friends show

the process of being refined by him.

The Bible says Zehfev just missed refinery.

Now being refined, friends, is not a place of punishment abanderment.

It's not ha Some people equit being refined as a

place of discipline. God disciplining your body. You must have seen,

you must have done something bad. You has a bad

edit to you.

Can you just say these, friends, When God refined us,

it's preparing us to enter another dimension and others fear.

When God put us.

Through refinement, friends, is to encourage you. That's preparing you

come on, preparing you for a breakthrough. Could you imagine

the video. Just tell to Elijah, I'm not interested. She

would miss out the supernatural jar of oil and flower.

Could you imagine, friends, There's so many people in the

Bible that could experience the supernatural, but they choose to

say no. First Peter one, verse six says this, in

this you really mean you though for a little while,

if need me, you have been grieved by various trials,

that the genuineness of your faith, which is much more

precious than gold that perishes tho't tested by fire, may

be found praise, honor, and glory and the revelation of

Jesus Christ. Let's look at this scripture. The Bible says

various trials, various trials to refine you. A lot of

times people think that I read you one tild, that's it.

I graduated, that's it, sary Nara, I don't have to.

Do it anymore. But it takes us various.

Trials come on to get something out of our system.

You may be thinking that, but I'm okay, Well, I

come to.

Church, I go to prayer service, I'm alway, I go

to homes, I'm okay peace. I don't make people angry.

I don't upset anyone, right, have not piece people off.

So I'm not in the bad category. I'm not like

some other people who hardly comes, who demands the Lord

want's attention.

But me, Lord, by the very fact we can see

these refriends.

That's love, pride, pride, and that's why it takes a

lot of trials, come on, to get pride out from

our system. It takes a lot of trials to get

pride out from our system. Refining is all one time process,

not a one time process. It takes multiple trials in

our lives to refine our faith. Through the process of refinery,

impurities are discovered, discoverer, for example, pride, pride right, none

of us serious, I'm proud, none of us see we

are proud, self seeking, doubt, jealousy, self deception. I say

it for the day it was ten. I refine you,

but not as silver is refined.

This God right. Rather, I refine you in the furnace.

Off, come on, hey, church, quite one, are we find

you in the furnace off. You know, I think sometimes

we have this myth as Christian everything is all going

to be good. And I said good, meaning that good

in the word sense good in the word sense good.

No trouble, no, no challenges, nothing at all but the

Bible good. It's a totally different thing altogether. We're learning

from homes. Last Friday, the myths of all challenges became

to experienced the goodness of God. So just set me

share with your so Expertassie past of France and the

leadership that's been meeting in this place for the longest time,

longest time no other church beside it longest time in

this this area.

Lo and behold.

About a year ago another church moved in. Another church

moved in where I say, another church moving in France.

It's not like moving from like your fifth floor. The

persons on the on the twentieth floor moving mean you

say that you're here and next to you another church.

Find out no problem?

Right? Come on? Is it true? No problem with friends more?

The merrier John can close your mouth. You should sell shock.

It's not a problem of friends. Now. The challenge coming

is the other church.

The other church decided decided to contact the owners of

the property that particified is renting and say we want

to rend this lot. Basically, okay, I want to put

it sur contacted. Someone say I want the red level five,

give us this contract. If you are the leader of

the church, come on and you know another church wants

to rent your lot.

Basically ask what is your feeling?

What would your response be? Now if it's other fifth

or this mutual affair? Right, we will fast, you will

pray for forty days. We will put blood of Jesus

over the dog polls, we put olive oil. Right, we

will play Christian Music's Love twenty four to seven.

But this is the church. Come on, Come on, a

church that wants to read your lot.

What is your response? You can be angry, Lord, Why

a church don't have ethics? Why didn't you contact us first?

Why they went straight up to the owners.

You could be angry friends, and sometimes you're being disturbed

in your number you did ask for you?

You say, read my Lord, Lord, test me loud, and

you're praying your quiet time. Lord, Please test my heart. Lord,

please allow it now that just to read my Lord,

so that heart can be tested, so I can be pure,

before you can be humbled before your Lord.

Amen.

None of us wake up in a mon to pray

the cow prayer. We always say, God, if it responsible,

let this come pass me test my other neighbor's Lord.

I graduated this year, Lord, so my next trials is

next year. Okay, Lord, after exactly when you coming once

a year?

Right, Lord, thank you Jesus.

The Bible says, I'll rEFInd you to the furthiest of suffering.

So in that very moment, the owner is persifus. You

got one choice, buy up the building. All of the

blue friends. You are supposed to have money to buy

up the building.

You did ask.

Sorry, it's not like God. Please, I know you're jehoah geno.

You shall provide. Thank you Jesus.

Amen.

The Bible says, oh, you shall open the windows of

heaven a power of blessing.

Test me now, Lord, I want to test you. Lord,

I want to test you. Lord. You do wake up

in the morning and ask this caw pray your friends.

God, give me a bill, Lord, give me a big

bill so I can show to tell other people that

you provide supernaturally. The bill just happens, it does, and

what your response would be. The Bible here says, God

will bring us through the furnace because he wants to

get the purity of from us. Can you still walk

up to your neighbor and they say, Charlom, Peace be

with you. Can you walk up to the neighbor and

just say that God bless you, because many times I.

Can guarantee you know what, God bless you, and then

you your handshakes extra heart, God bless you.

Right, but part your cart so that nobody can get

into the church. Put the music extra a loud right,

I'm bugging you all, and you'll know that I'm real Christian.

You. I don't know what your response will be. Friends,

let me just sorry, I'm having too much time.

Okay, The fire test the purity of see where and

go problems seventy was three. But the Lord tests the

hearts friends, who's in control of the situation? The lord

who allowed the Lord why to test your hearts? The

devil doesn't test your heart's friends that there wants to

tell you. The Lord allows to go to situation and

many times you know what happens. Lord, please spare me,

Please spare me. God, just go to it. I'm there

for you. I'll sure never abandon you. I will never

abandon you, never abandon you. Finally, this is that God

is at work even though we do not know anything

about it yet.

God is at work. Even though we do not know

anything about it. Yet. God new the situation and prepared

Elijah to hit the zerahath.

Come on to bed those friends, or that she had

lack not enough. We don't know what God is doing.

We do not know what God is doing. But God

is in control. Come on, God is in control. Even

though even though she's alone by herself in another town,

God prepared Elijah to come to it, to come to it.

I'm not sure where you are right now. Friends, you

felt like it's abandonment.

But I want to let you know, God at the back,

behind the curtain is working. He is. I'm not saying

all of those creatures that just pick everything fine and

then you know, friend, God works. But the break through

is not what you happened that oh sudden, you open

up your petreat the flower, Maggimi is all there, That's.

What Christian expect. But you open your back, you go

to you go open the bank, app on the waw

extra money, Praise the Lord, hallelujah.

It doesn't happen that we're friends. It happens on the

fuel of friends. Urban has a bit different. Seriously heard

before the fuel lot of A lot of miraculous thing

happens on the field, but urban has a bit different.

I want to carriage you as like clothes. God is

in control. Many of us here, friends, many of us here,

Many of us here, many of us here. We want

to know the full answer before you want to know

the full answer. But if you were the redo, friends,

if you were the riddle in the Bible for example,

for example, if you were like the riddle, you really sorry?

We know the ending, ma right. Because we know the ending,

we can take courage. Correct not you know the answer,

we can take courage. But if you're in a situation

like the whido, how many of us here? I want

to go to that the very last drop you drive

your car, you see E is enough. Some people say

it's for eternity, right, isn't it true?

We always say that once once.

The light comes on, you've got another thirty to four

They kill me to small to go.

You keep on driving because you're busy. Somebody we're gonna

pump a trauma. You keep on driving.

And driving it's enough for me to get to their destination. Friends,

given the choice, you rather drive a car that's food.

Given the choice, you rather go to life with abundance

rather than lack. Given the choice, but something God allows it. Friends,

the lack in our life, come on, they're not so

good parts in our life.

He allows it.

Our health situation, he allows it, our mental state allows it.

Not because he wants to suppress us, to remain even

in the midst.

Will you still serve.

Him because he is doing something on his part, Because

when Elijah came, all he did was give me a

jar of water and a slice of bread.

I'm not sure what your response would be.

We hope you've been blessed by this message. For more
