What's My Attitude | Elder Terence Atkinson

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

We hope this message will.

Light up your day. What's my attitude? What's my attitude?

So you know, last year we activated discipleship and this

year it's revival and we will get to the eam

in the following years to come. All right, So what's

my attitude? And I'm going to be using scripture that

is quite I would say, I've not heard it in

this context before the Parable of the Talents, And we're

going to be reading from Matthew twenty five, verses fourteen

to thirty, and we'll see where we go with this.

All right. Now, this message came about as a result

of some conversations that I had, or have had with

some you know, with people.

Along the way of my journey, the way of my life.

And you know, there are lots of people who treat

their church like a coat, or like a shirt, or

like a piece of clothing as and when they want

to change it, oh, just get up and go, you know.

And this kind of bothered me, So I asked, these people,

didn't the Lord tell you to go?

What for the Lord tell me to go? What's wrong?

What I'm going to church? Man, I'm living here, I'm

going to another church. It's okay, what God is there

as well? God is here, God is everywhere.

This is what they tell me.

So I couldn't argue this point, you know, because it's true, right,

God is here, He's in another church, He's everywhere. So

I went to the one who could give me an answer.

So I ask the Lord, Lord, what do you think

about this? And this is how the Lord answered me.

For the Kingdom of Heaven.

Is like a man traveling to a far country who

called his own servants and delivered his goods to them. Wow,

the Kingdom of God.

Is like a man. You know.

When I read this parable, I am reading a parable

that speaks to me about God, my Father. Now, parables

are stories that have a very spiritual application. They may

not or may be true. But in this particular case,

I believe it is referring to God. And why I

say that, when you go towards the end of this parable,

you realize the power of this man and what he

could do. So it tells me that this is speaking

about God the Father.

So all those of us who think church is like.

A garment that we need to change, it's Okay, you

go to another church, but there's a greater truth behind them.

Let's discover it together. Now.

The Kingdom of Heaven is also a term that you know,

when the people who are writing the scripture never wanted

to use the word God. They revered the word God

so much that they would not use that word. Jesus

when he is speaking, he is speaking to a people

who understand this particular point. So when he is trying

to give a story of what God is like, he's

speaking to them in a language that they will understand.

So when they say Kingdom of God is like a man,

it is drawing if I were to tell the story

about God in a person that you might understand.

This is it. This is what Jesus is trying to

get at.

And it says that this man went to a far

away country. Why does it say far away country? Look,

I think this is wonderful for us that this man

can go to a far away country. You know what

it speaks to me of trust. It speaks to me

now if I am taking this to be God to us,

it's telling me that God trusts us. He trusts us

so much that he can go away. What did Jesus

say in Matthew twenty eight, go into the world and

preach the Gospeer Mackey disciples. The most important task on

God's heart? Who did God give it to us? And

he trusted so much he left? How many of us

can be like that?

You know?

Have you ever given a task to someone you don't trust?

You are always looking over the shoulder. You are never

far away.

True, not.

So if you got somebody looking over your shoulder, you've

gotta ask yourself, this guy really don't trust me? Now?

How many of you have said that before, or say

that now? Or where you work you say that? But

look at God he trusts you. Wow?

Now you say wow, We'll.

See Now it says who called?

Who called? Do you know that this is a calling.

The people that God called in this parable war?

Who he is? I like that you got it his

own servants? He did not call servants? Who are you?

And I a servant too? My kids stopped his door

on the chair. I cannot come to church today because

I got to look after his doore. Whose servant are you?

You know? Tell them about myself? When we had our kids.

My children were in church with us until two am,

three am in the morning. We would go to church

six am on Sunday and reach home two or three

am Monday morning, every Sunday without fail. How old were

my girls? One year old, one and a half two.

So you're thinking yourself, what bad parents? Let me tell

you something. Both of us realized very early on in

our relationship. We could never look after our children better

than God could.

So what did we do?

We sought to make it clear to God that when

we had our children, they would not control our devotion

to him. They would come along our devotion to him.

They would learn from our devotion to Him and not

the other way around. How so, unlike so many parents today,

And then you wonder why things don't go so well.

You know, my girl she dislocated her arm. Ashley here

at the age of one. She's crying and crying and crying.

And as bad parents decided we were at Sunday service

we needed to bless the Lord. My kid cried for

five hours or six hours? What bad parents?

We were? Right? But you see whose seven are we?

For us? I'm not telling you to do this. This

is how God taught us.

We gave our duty and her honor to God first,

immediately after service was over, we took our child to

the hospital and the doctor checked her out, said she's

probably dislocated her arm. Let me take an X ray.

Hold on, I'll get back to you. Let me go

and prepare. I looked at Elder Mabel. She was sitting

down with Ashley on her lap. I was standing and

I said, I don't like this. We were looking at

the Lord in prayer, so I laid hands, we prayed,

and I said, in Jesus' name, be healed. The moment

I finished that prayer in Jesus' name, I was standing

holding a toy. Ashley reached out with a hand that

was supposedly dislocated. She took the toy and she was

giggling and laughing all the way and just looking and say,

God is here there, there's no need for us to

be here. We got up, we went to the counter,

tolderness not necessary for the X ray.

My daughter is.

Healed, and we walked out exactly like that. Why could

we do that? Because we realized that God looked after

our children better than we could.

We are just his servants.

You better get knowledgeable or what it means to be

his servants.

Because time is very short. It is very very short.

His own servants call his servants are what a servant is?

A servant? Servant is also a bond servant.

What is a bond serven The guy that puts his

ear to the to the door and they shove and

all and then you know, to the to the door

door frame and blood comes out.

Servant for life. It's called a bond servant, all right.

You know. It is someone who says you're the Lord

and I'm not. I neighs can say that, Oh, I

don't like church today, So I'm gonna go to that

church and listen to that word. You know how this

message grew. You know what the Lord said to my question.

My people, A lot of them treat my house like

a restaurant. True, I don't like the food today. This quick,

the oal message is not good enough. I want honey chickens.

I go to the other church. I go to the

other church. This is not the kind of chicken I

was looking for. I like the chance you message. Go

to another church? Who is serving?

Who? What have we made God your cook? Seriously? We

have made God our cook.

Hey, guys, I apologize if I'm coming across strong because

I'm on head. I have been like this all week.

God is not our cook. Who do we serve? Do

we serve him? Or do we go to church to

be served. We were having this discussion in the car

on Friday, and the Lord gave something else. He said,

you know a lot of people now want to go

to big churches. Hey, I got nothing wrong, nothing against

big churches, a pleaser. Do not get me wrong. If

you're going to church to serve, praise the Lord. But

if you're going to church to get quitau, I have

something against that. So they go to a church. Let

me tell you something about God. Jesus when he preached

and he healed, The Bible tells me, I think it

is in Mark.

The people thronged around him.

There were crowds, There were thousands of people pushing up

against him. He didn't care. Can I tell you honestly,

not one of them touched him. Not one of them

made a difference where he was concerned, except the one

who crawled on the ground to touch his garment, the serpent.

The one touched his garment, and God healed all that

millions and those thousands. The Bible says, a multitude throng

the party, and he says, who touched me? And disciples?

You've gotta love the disciples. Lot, what's the matter with you?

There are thousands of people touching you, He says, You

don't understand when my servant touches me. Hour goes out,

whose servant are you? Are we going to a restaurant?

If you've never heard it before, let me tell you

church is not a restaurant. You come to church not

to hear the word alone. You come to church to

serve God. And you gotta ask yourself if you're not

doing anything to serve God. You have to answer that question.

Let's move on. Bible says that he delivered his goods

to his servant. You know, do you think it was alone?

My Bible tells me that he had not. It wasn't

just and entrusted. He yielded it up to them. He

surrendered it to them. He gave it to them. Man, Hey,

when God gives us talents, sir, it's not alone. That's

the difference. You read the scripture. Did he ever take

it back? He never took it back. And so we

wondered to ourselves, what do we do with that talent?

That God has given us the talent to sing. No,

I don't want to sing God, I don't want to

come on Thursday to practice. No, let's be honest. If

there's anyone who doesn't want to serve singing up here

is because they don't want to come to church and

practice on her Thursday, or they don't want to get

up and be the first one to church to do

the instruments. Hey, for ten years, I got up at

six in the morning with another guy, loaded up the

whole band with a roads piano. In case you think

a Road's piano weighs a pound, it weighs one hundred pounds.

Big speakers like this big base speaker. Two of us

load on the van, take it out, carry it up

three flights of stairs because the hotel would not let

us use the lift, just the two of us, and

after service is over, get back again and send it

back to church in Klang. From Klang to kl ten

years I did that, and here some of us I've

been serving every week for the last month.

I'm so tired.

If you want to know why God gives me blessings,

this is it. I'm laying up for myself treasures in

heaven when I meet the Lord. He does not say,

depart from from me, I never knew you. If you

and I think that one safe, always say, well that's

the plan. But there's a part you have to play,

because I'll tell you this. My scripture tells me those

who heal the sick, those who cast out demons, those

who did miracles. Some of them did make it. You know,

Bible says, I think it's in Duke, Oh, Matthew, I

think it's It says, depart from me, I never knew you.

He's saying that to who the ones who healed the sick,

the ones who did miracles. Do you know that Judas

heal the sick? You read it, it's there. He gave

power to the twelve. They went out, they prayed for

the sick. Demons came out. Judas was one of them.

Judas make it to heaven. He made a decision to

betray the Lord. Whether you and I finish our journey

up with the Lord depends on our decision.

Do we want to see it through or not? Haha?

Do you want to see it through?

You know how close we are to the end. The

Bible says that when the people in the world turns

against he is chosen people, the end will come. As

of today, almost all of Europe has turned against his people,

leaving only one country. That one country is made up

of at this moment about fifty one or fifty two

percent that are supporting his country, his people, and forty

eight percent who don't.

Do you know how close it is?

The Americans are sorry, my American brothers and sisters. I'm

just speaking it like I like the Lord tells, make crazy,

no serious. They have known the Lord for so long

and they are willing to reject these people if the

current opposition ever take over the government again. They hate

his people and that will signal the end. Guys, how

many of you are under the age of sixty, Most

likely it will happen in your time. Me I always say,

the candle burns on both ends. When you're born, the

candle burns on both ends. One end is your life

is going. The other end is the Christ is coming.

So at the moment our candles has been more on

the other end, So some of you the candle might

be the Lord coming back. You have no time, You

have no time to get your act together. Those of

you are not serving now get to it, get to it. Okay,

deliver these goods for all that from delivered his goods.

And to one, okay this, I love this. And to one.

He gave five talents, to another, two and another one,

each according to what his own ability, his own ability,

and immediately he went on his journey. As I said it,

he gave. He did not consign those talents. He did

not loan those talents. He gave it to each of

according to what his own ability. Not an indictment or

one's character. This is not an indictment or one's character,

but specific to each person's distinct ability. I know those

are not those are my notes. For example, really asks

a guitarist to play the drums, he will ask a

guitarist to play guitar. I couldn't play the guitar. I

couldn't play the drums. But he said, Terrence, you play

the drums. Say okay, if you say so, I'll do it.

So I played the drums for twenty five years. How

could that be done well? He called a person who

was afraid and beating in a crashing sorry in a

wine press, to be a mighty man.

Novella.

You see, I wrote a song it's not what people

say I am, it's what it's who God says, I am.

I am who he says I am, I am who

I am. Since I am I wrote a song, I've

actually got it produced.

It's pretty good.

One to each according to his own ability. If there's

anyone here who says they have got no ability, either

my Bible is telling me a story or you are

telling me a story. Who do you think I will believe?

I believe my word of God. He gives to everyone

according to his own ability. So what is your ability?

Man? What is the ability? Do you know that the

person who got five.

And the person who got three and the person who

got one are the same. Go figure, Because if you

have the ability for three or two, and you have

the ability for two and you work with two, what

is it one hundred percent? You have five and you

work with four, you're only giving eighty percent. So the

ones I used to think about this fullest can do

so much. I cannot run like them. God has never

meant me to run like them. He's meant me to

run like me because the amount of talent he has

given me. That's what he expects from me. That's the

accounting he wants. He doesn't want the accounting that somebody

else is running. So that takes the pressure off of you.

You are not under any kind of pressure. You're only

under pressure to be the best that He knows you

can be, each according to his own ability, distinct unique.

Only to you.

My family members used to call me the fourth part

of the Trinity, God's brother.

That was my name.

The reason is because I always had an answer, and

that's maybe because I believe God always says an answer,

So I am like my father. That's okay, But I

realized where this help comes from. You know, when somebody

comes up to me after services, say what that was

a good message? You never find me, okay, this is

just me. You never find me saying oh it's all God.

Does that mean I don't give the glory to God.

I give the glory to God in my opening prayer,

In my opening prayer, I've already said it seems it's

not me.

So what do when somebody comes and thanks me? You

know what I received? Lord? Thank you?

I heard it right. That's okay, Lord, thank you. I

didn't waste their time, So I'm grateful that I called

it right. It's okay, is you a learner? God's okay

with you, seeing what you've done. He's all right with it.

Each according to his own ability. Then he who received

the five talents when in traded with them and made

another five. And likewise he who had received two gained

two more.

Do you know what?

Both produced? One hundred? They were productive? Are you and

eye productive? We got to ask ourselves. Because the Lord

is coming soon? All it takes uh in November. In November,

if the Democrats win bought houses, you can be quite

sure that they will do everything in their power to

ensure the next president is from that party. And all

of them that are currently planning to run for one

of a better work could be considered to be communists

opposed to Jesus Christ, opposed to the people.

And what happens when that happens, ah excitement.

So both produce exactly the production value of their distinct ability.

Production value. You and I we have value. We have

value to produce. In case you don't know, I'm now

standing up here with a knee that is crazier. If

I want to walk this way, my knee wants to

go the other. Okay, it's loose and it's tight all.

At the same time, as I was worshiping the Lord,

I was still moving from left to right, nasty to

my knee. But you know why I do that? Because

the Lord looks at me and says, if I have

to give a good knee too, I'll give it to him,

because even though his knees better, he's still moving like

I live.

You and I are we living like God's alive.

If God were to give mobility, wouldn't he give mobility

to someone who's going to use it for his glory?

Why waste it on somebody who's not So you see it.

They produce according to their ability. Success comes in doing

what they could do best.

Wow, do you know.

That you are successful in the eyes of the Lord

if you are doing what you can do best, not

what they can do best, not what she can do best, what.

You can do best, but what can you do best?

You're going to ask the Lord when God asks you

to do something you can.

And sometimes, oh, but God never asked.

Me what your CPC? Who's representative? Whose representative is your

CPC owner? Who when your CPC comes and asks you, can.

You be a horse?

No?

No, no, I don't have a smile. Learn.

Your CPC is giving you an opportunity to do that

one thing you can do best when you say no?

Are you saying no to your CPC? Depart from me?

I never knew you. Hey, guys, this is real. I'm

speaking to you a real God. I'm not speaking to

your figment of my imagination. If you cannot stand at

the door and say hello to somebody, how on earth

are you going to be in heaven?

Because heaven is one big gull at time? Hey, hi,

how are you praise the Lord? Worship you a love?

It's a one hundred percent worship time.

If you cannot be worshiping down here, how on earth

you think you're gonna go up there?

Hey?

God is protective over his home. Okay, He's very protective.

Who's gonna get in? If you don't fit in, you

will not be there.

Serious. I'm sorry to say that. I'm not sorry to

say that. It's the truth.

Heaven is a one way door. You go in, you

cannot come out, you know, but you find it.

People big pick They pick big.

Churches, why so they can rush in and rush out unforeseen,

n seen, incognito, silent cia Christian. They come into service,

ten minutes before worship ends, and five minutes before worship

hands the outer door. Do you do the math and

you think you're going to be in heaven? Hey, I

go words for you. If you're not coming to worship

the Lord, don't come to church. Seriously, don't waste your time,

because God is not fool.

God is not.

Mocked whatsoever man reaps, whatsoever man sows that shall he reap?

You see, because you're so in it interested to get

in and get out? Do you think heaven is like

that you can go in and come out. You go in,

you cannot come out. Do you think if God is

interested to give his home too, do you think he's

interested to give it to somebody who will look after

his home or somebody who wants to rush away? Real questions,

because I'm speaking about a real God. Oh, this has

been bur me for all, for all this time I

got up in the morning. My knee is having this issue.

Right.

I'm used to doing a sub thirteen kilometer, and I'm

used to doing ten kilometers on a Sunday morning. I

could only manage two today, fourteen minutes twenty seconds.

That is so slow. I could only do two because

of my knee. But I did it for you.

I did it for me because I wanted God to speak.

I had this desire to get this message across, because

so much is it burning in my heart. But he

who had received the one went and dug it in

the ground, and he dis Lord's money. And after a

long time the Lord of those servants came and settled

the counts.

With them. There are those the ones who rush in

and rush out, don't want to serve.

These are the ones who've taken the talent that God

has given them and hid it in the ground. If

you're saying that you have no talent to serve the Lord,

then you're telling me my God is a liar. I

refuse to believe that God has given each one even

one talent. And if you are not using, what have

you done. You've hid it in ground, You put it

there where nobody can see. But you want to know something,

The Bible tells me the Lord came back. Hey, Jesus

is coming back, and he is coming back soon.

Soon, and very.

Soon we are gone to see the king soon and

very soon we are going to see the king soon,

and very soon we are going to see the King hellolujjah, hellolu. Yeah,

we are going to see the king. No more crying there.

We are going to see the king. No more crying there.

We are going let's see the king. No more crying there.

We are going to see the king. Hellelujah, hellolujah, we

are going to see the King.

I hope we see the king.

I hope we go to where there's no more crying,

because if we hear a lot of crying, we're not

with him, and then it's quite sad. So here we

got this joker. I call him a joker. The first

two traded right, the first who did something.

But this guy he left.

He departed Bible also saying he left her and he hit,

He left and he hid.

He took a direction away from the task. Haha. He

did a jonah.

He took a direction away from the task. It speaks

of intent. This was his intent. I will not do okay,

I don't want to get involved. I've been hurt before,

I've been there, done that. My time has come. Oh

and I love this one. My season is over. The

devil loves it when you speak those words, my season.

There is only one season to know and love the

Lord and serve him with all your heart, soul, in

mind and strength. That's the season you should be in.

If you're not in that season, you're in the devil season.

Oh I don't want to get involved. Somebody else will

do it. I'm on holiday. So when you go on

a holiday, you give up the ghost. You were away, couldn't.

Come to church.

You went to her another church. You're away, you went

to her Catholic church. He made an attempt, on a holiday,

or on a task or on work to do the

right thing. You know what that is, I'll explain.

To you know what.

So he dug in and hid it a rejection of

the entrustment. When you do not do what God has

told you to do, you have rejected and trustment. And

you think, and I think we're going to be with

the law. Ask yourself. You better ask yourself this question now,

because then.

You'll be too late.

Time. Do you know that we are given time to

get a act together? Every minute the Lord is away

and here we are trying. Lord comes soon. You know

why God is not coming soon. He's giving us time

to get an act together, because when it comes up,

we've got.

No more time act together or act not together. It's

over time.

So here received five talents, came and brought five other talents, saying, Lord,

you delivered to me five talents. Look, I've gained five

more talents besides them. Wow, the guy very excited. Man,

God you gave me I did. Oh, you preached a

good message? Thank you, Lord. I called it right. Lord,

I didn't waste that time. Can you see that's what

I'm trying to get it? Of course I think it's

the you think what the message came from me? No,

right from the very start, not my words, but yours.

So when you thank me, you know what I can receive.

Thank you for hearing right, thank you for being or

being into his word. I can receive that. I can

be grateful. That makes me happy. I didn't waste your time.

Why you come here and I waste your time? I

feel happier. God will judge me, you know. God will

take me to task because I wasted your time. And

he's Lord said to him, well done. He's a well

done when you do what the Lord tells you to do.

What is the blessing? Well done? Good and faithful servant.

You've been faithful of a few things. I will make

you ruler. Hey, he's a servant man. God will turn

you from a servant to a ruler when you are

faithful to what He's given you to do, from servant

to ruler. And then he says, enter into the joy

of Lord, the fellow who is not doing you. You

and I were not doing what the Lord tells us

to do it. He's going to say, enter into my joy. Hey,

God's not like us. You know, we are unclear. God

is very clear. He's very clear what objective he wants

to reach. He wants people who serve him to enter

his joy. Remember, I tell you the parable speaks also

about something that is real, something about God. Good describes

what originates from God, is empowered by him. So if

God gives you a talent, it comes from him. He

empowers you, and through faith, you will be able to

do it. It wasn't more money that the Lord was

pleased about. You know, do you think the Lord was

happy about more money? No, he was happy that the

guy used his talent. Faithfulness. This is what God is

seeking from us. We have to be faithful over the

gifts he's given us. Joy of the Lord refers to

someone supreme God, even so that is why I believe

this parable refers to God. Enter into the joy of

the Lord. Now, he who had received two talents came

and said, aha am I for time. I'm okay fifteen

minutes ago. Wow, praise the Lord. I'm not doing too bad.

He who had received two talents came and said, Lord,

you delivered to me two talents. Look, I've gained two

more talents besides them. So now how many percent? One

hundred percent? But the guy I don't want produce five?

Do you think God cares? That's why God is a

just god. He's not a fair god. Oh want a

thing to say, But God refers to him as being

just himself.

Is being just?

So being just is about seeing things from a proper perspective.

We would see things. That is, we look at all

the rich people in the world. We say, wow, they

must be really good. You know how many rich people

do not enter the joy of the Lord. It's not

about money, honey. The Lord said to him, well done,

well done, too well. No, the other one got five.

This one meet to God said what well done, well done?

You have been faithful over her few things. I will

make you ruler servant to ruler and I don't mean

that straight thing that you put on your paper and

draw a line.

I don't mean that. Okay. He's not gonna make you

a ruler. Okay, it's gonna make you a ruler. Ruler Okay, hmmm. Enter,

there's another one.

He says, enter, Enter into the joy of your lo

Do you know there is no record read it? There

is no record of the master taking back the money?

Wow?

Does that mean you become richer? Hallelujah, Praise the Lord, Amen,

Glory to God. Yes, he gave his servants to trade in.

In fact, he let them keep it. God has never

been interested in the money. Or is it to say

he's never been interested in the talent? Well, he's been

interested in you. Okay, He's been interested in your faithfulness.

He is interested that your faithfulness be productive.

How are we producing? Now?

You understand why I once went to this big church Again,

why they keep talking about big churches. I am never

interested to see church growth to transfer.

Sorry, don't interest me.

I would love church growth through new souls, not church transfers. Okay,

I've been to one huge church, this huge church in Singapore.

You know I won't tell you the name. There is

a huge church. We were there once holiday. You know holiday,

what you must do, go to church. So we were

on holiday, we went to church and this was it

was like they had their service in the World Trade Center.

He was huge.

There may have been five to ten thousand people there.

So we were like anseler. We were visitors here. We

tell visitors you sit down. Everybody comes shake here and hello, Hi,

how are you good to see you? Praise the Lord,

give you give. We were visitors, me, my wife, the

two girls, us four.

And no more. We were there. Did anyone even say

hello to us?

No nobody came to say hello to us. In fact,

we were treated like cattle city. The guys in black

were faces. They look like some concert god, the same

way the concert gods treat you when you go to

a concert. This is how they were treating us. So

we take out a photograph to capture the moment. I

was like, oh no, no, no, no camera, no camera out,

cann up. So I gotta ask you, this is what

God means for his house to be because this is

a this is a very very big restaurant. They expected

the people to come in and just get food. I

don't think they were really interested in the fellowship. So

we tend to want to go to these places to

get lost.

Don't don't. Don't be like that.

So the one who received the one talent say, everybody

has to give an account whether you are a talented

person or you got no talent. That's what you think

it is. I dare any one of you to go

before the Lord and say, God, I got no talent.

I dare you.

I dare you to tell Jesus you came up. Why

you're accounting from me? What talent did you give me?

So I'll pray and ask Lord, can I be there?

No it this happens. I want to see whether anybody

dares say, no, you didn't give talent.

No.

So anyway, let me tell you the heart of this person.

It was his heart.

You see.

It is when you when you use the talents God

gives you. You know what you're using. You're using your heart.

Just look at this guy. Look at this guy. Then

he who received the one talent came and said, Lord,

I knew you to be a hot man, reaping where

you have not sown, in gathering where you have not scattered. See,

And I was afraid. And when it hit your talent

in the ground. Look, yeah, there is what you got.

There.

You can have it back. You don't waste my time day,

Why you waste your timidi date, I.

Asked for it. I didn't ask for that talent. What

take it back? Lad?

You dare tell it to God when you see him.

But you know this guy dead. Not only did he

do it, he say, you know, I know what kind

of person you are.

You know.

You're a horrible person. Why you did you give it

to me? I want to work for you.

That's his heart.

Listen again. And I was afraid and hid your talent

in the ground.

Look there you have what is yours?

Take it in all The one with one talent claimed

to be fully knowledgeable of his master. He claimed to

know who God was. He was a severe miscalculation. Okay, severe.

Do not miscalculate your relationship with God. Who, yes, do

not miscalculate ten minutes I'm doing okay, ah, do not

miscalculate your relationship with God. Many of us think one

safe always say it's a miscalculation.

If we live like that and we think we're gonna.

Enter into the joy of the Lord, it's a miscalculation.

I'm here to tell you today. Don't miscalculate. I do

believe once they've always saved her. By the way I

believe that. I believe there's only one person who can

give up.

Salvation. That's me, myself. As far as God is concerned,

I'm safe.

But you see, for me to give up my salvation

is for me to miscalculate my relationship with me. I've miscalculated.

Don't for a minuting God is us a don't for

a menting. God thinks like us. If you want to

have a thought, start thinking like God. Do not think

God thinks like us.

He knew you to be. He says you're a hard man.

You know this word is scallous. His word is scaled

us hard or tough.

Hush He thinks God is hush. He thinks God is

severe is Yes, he's hard.

To me.

You know this is like have you been in Singapore

ho pabula? How many have you been a hop papular

in Singapore? You know when it is? You know the

old ones may know it. Have you been on a

when there one's a horrible place? They show you all

the different versions of hell, all the different tortures and

stuff that goes on in hell, and that's what those

people think God is like. No, that is what the

devil is like. Do not think God is like the devil.

He's not. You know, if God is.

Long suffering and you say he's hard and passion, what

are we doing. We are miscalculating God again. That's what

this person called God. We are accusing God of something

he is not.

He loves us.

Does that mean because he loves us, he will not

send us away. No, you send yourself away because you

do not allow him to say those words.

Enter into my joy to me.

His statement reflects his contempt of God. He basically accused

God of being unjust, and rather than face that, just

return of the talent to God. I do not need you,

nor do I want to work for you. I will

not work with you. I will not serve. I will

not be a host. I will not serve in express

So I will not shake somebody's hand and welcome them

into the house of the Lord. I played the guitar,

I will not do it for the glory of God.

Leave me alone, you understand. Don't get me wrong. I

know we're tired. You mean to say I'm not tired.

I wake up in the morning with eggs from my

head to my toast. I am in pain all the time.

Oh why doesn't God hear you?

Well?

At this stage of my life, I'm more interested in

showing God that I'm still alive in Him despite these pains.

You see there things They are deeper things. And the

higher and deeper things go beyond our feelings. They go

beyond our likes and dislikes. These are deeper things. If

we're looking for the Lord to say, enter into my

my joy, you better believe my knee had better not

stop me from praising the Lord.

Well, for the sake of my.

Knee, I go away from the joy of the Lord.

I think the Chinese was shaw. No, I don't want

to be like that. Not to do what God has

given us talents to do equates to wickedness.

I didn't say it. He did.

When God gives us a talent and we do not

use it, the Bible says this is wickedness. So now

as we go into this deeper understanding, don't tell me

God is everywhere. Don't tell me what I already know.

God is everywhere. Don't tell me God is in every church.

I know God is in every church. You want to

tell me something, Tell me I serve. I may be

living here, but I will serve there. If you cannot

say you're serving in any place that you call your church,

and you're just going there to eat and get fat,

you may just have a spiritual heart attack. Work those

muscles spiritually. It also means a hurtful and evil added

you wicked. You're lazy and wicked serve and it also

means these words are hurtful, evil calamitists you know, as

calamitists are always in trouble. Diseased who You're a diseased person.

He is how God looks at you. When you don't

do what He tells you to do. You look, you

look to him as diseased. Culpable, you know, culpable homicide.

It means you are responsible. Also huh, derelict, vicious, atrocious, atrocious, mischief, malice.

You look, you give God the look of guilt. Oh,

this one you won't like. You look like the devil.

That's what this word means. You look like the devil,

sinners your influence.

Lazy.

The word lazy comes from the word achmeros MirOS sounds

very much cling on ochnros means to hesitate me, taddy, tardy,

where you come later? Hey, carefula taddy, Same word as wicked,

same word as lazy. Applying to who the one who

did not get into the joy of the Lord ognoros

reluctant your attitude. You're slotful, you're unambitious, disinterested. Ah, but

God is kind, Never for a minute thing God is

not kind?

Whoa God? You're so hard?

Don't be like that joker. Don't be like that joker,

but be like this. In verse twenty seven, it says,

so you ought to have deposited my money with the bankers,

and at my coming I would receive my own back

with interest. I thought about this, Well, Lord, what is

this money in the bankers? What is this interest? There

is always something we can do, Always something we can do,

however small it might be. It is a forward step

that grows. I give you an example. Tell them about myself.

I'll talk about myself. I've been forty seven years in

the Lord. I have and more life as a believer

that some of you are.

Even alive, all right. During that time I have.

Witnessed, I have shared, I brought people to the Lord,

I prayed for the sick. I have seen demons. I've

seen possessed people delivered from demons. I have been punched

in the face, I have been ostracized by my family,

cut off, I have been ridiculed. I've had all these

things happen in forty seven years. And now I come

to church and not some, but all my leaders are

younger than me. Oh, from the top right down, every

one of these leaders, they are younger than.

Oh.

Zero mean, it's remaining. Some are saying, praise the Lord.

I can't take this anymore. I'm finishing soon, all right.

I have to do what the Lord tells me to do.

And yet all my leaders, all of them, are younger

than me. When they come and ask me to do something.

Have anyone of you ever here? What are you talking?

You know better?

I know better? Who are you to tell me what

to do? Have you ever heard me? In fact? What

do I say? Okay?

I may registered disagreement sometimes, which is normal. You allow

even Lord allows you to disagree. No, but you know

what you got to follow it up with? You know what,

just plain obedience. You don't have to agree, but you

have to do. Why is the Lord continuous continued bless

us and amiable in myself. Why we shouldn't be here,

but we are because the Lord's involved. It's money in

the bank, it's interest.

Some of you are.

The Lord has called you to be up here to

worship the Lord with music and song, but you don't

want to do it. Will you at least be a host?

You know what that is? Money in the bank.

Will you at least and shake somebody's hand and welcome

them in. Will you go and talk to someone and say,

do you know Jesus, can I be of help you?

Money in the bank? Money in the bank.

So at least when the Lord comes back, you do

not say, here's your money. Say Lord, you gave me talents,

I didn't use it. Forgive me lot, but I did

put some money in the bank, and here's some interests.

Well done, my good servant, faithful may not be there.

You made it into my joy by the skin of

your teeth. Maybe you'll hear that from the Lord. But certainly,

because if I read the scripture says that he will

not say, depart from me, because you say, at least

I would have received something. The trench is full of

people earning interest, true or not. Don't be interested earnes

go from servants to rulers. Okay, so take the talent

from him.

You don't serve the Lord, you lose.

Everything, you know, So take the talent from him and

give it to him who has talents. And yeah, I'll

be ending, so relaxed. Don't lose everything. That only happens

when we do nothing. You know, when we do nothing,

we lose everything. We lose everything when we do nothing.

It's the master's house. It's the Master's house. He gives

talents to servants, not visitors. If you serve in the

house of the Lord, he gives you talents. If you

come to have a quit your message, that's all you

will get. Because you have made God your servant. Do

not make God your servant. Visitors who keep going to

one church to another take God as a cook. Go

to these restaurants called church to sample the cuisine or

the word. The ideas are tickled with the good food.

But they will not trade the talents God has given them,

nor will they serve God in any capacity to give

God interest. They want to come in and leave. What

a dangerous place to be. For to everyone who has

more will be given, more will be given and he

who and he will have in abundance. But from him

who does not have, even what he has will be

taken away. And this is why I say this passage

refers to God, because it says, and cast the unprofitable

servant into the outer darkness, there will be weeping and

gnashing of teeth. Who is the one where has the

authority to do that?

God? And God alone? Are you faithful? God wants to

give you more.

Remember He did not take back the money from his servants,

but ask them into his home. Come in if you

want to remain lazies. He not only does God strip

you of what you have, the last verse says he

won't have anything to do with you. Oo. Revival comes

with having the right attitude and devotion to do what

the Lord has called us to do. It all starts

the praise the Lord. I have given God my one

talent for today.

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