Unpacking the Vision of Acts Church Part 5 | Eld. Terence

You're listening to a message to go from X Church.

We hope this message will light up your tea.

All right, So we learned about the loss, the leaders,

the living. We need to all work together to work

on all three. So what are we doing to live

God's diet for us in X Church? So what are

we doing? Have we taken this as okay, let's just

go through it. We got five weeks, we got six

weeks or another two weeks to go. Look, this is

not this is not Evata one, two or three, you know,

or maybe four, five or six. You don't come for

the movie. You come to live the experience. You come

to live it out. Well, today I want to take

you a little bit further. So we learned about all

that we have learned. Now we're going to learn about

the power of the tithe You remember that the target

was ten thousand, right a thousands? And how did we

reach that? How did we go for that? Well, if

we are the tide of ten percent, what should be

the target by the time we finish our ten years

or twenty years, it's to grow to at least ten thousand.

But you know what, it's not really the numbers we're

talking about. It's the spirit. The spirit of the tide,

you know, always brings something to God. When we bring

something to the Lord, it pleases him. And do you

know as Pastor said that rightfully saw when he thought

that tithing started in the garden of Edinbur. Before I

get to that, you may say, oh, so, where's the

word in all this? We'll cover some word. But remember

that one of the foundation or the foundational words that

we are talking about is from Haberkak, which is the

world is to fill the earth with the knowledge of

the glory of the Lord as the waters cover there. See, guys,

and you and me, we have a target. We have

a purpose. If you think that you're not good enough,

let me tell you you are. You know, Seth came

up just now and the Lord said, check on the

meaning of Seth. Check on what his name means. Seth.

Do you know what your name means? It means appointed.

Did you know that God has a great purpose for

you if you will allow him to let you live it?

Because you have been appointed your any time somebody says

your name Seth, they're talking about someone who has been appointed.

So you and I we have a purpose. Tithing started

in the Garden of Eden when the Lord said you

can eat of everything except the tree of the knowledge

of the good and evil. You can eat on every

one of that stuff, but not this. So actually, what

is God saying? There's a lot of stuff you can do,

but there are some things that are mine. There are

a lot of things that you can have, but there

are some things that are personal to me that you

should not touch. And here we're talking about the tide.

You know, if you and the reason for this, and

I think past I think I've never heard it explained

even any better than this. When you touch the tithe

you know what you're doing. You're making yourself God. You're

making yourself God. You and I want to make ourselves God.

If we make ourselves God, we are fake God's coming

in front of a true God. Where do you think

we will stand? Guys? You and I got to realize

that God has a great purpose for us, and the

purpose for us is not to sit on our thumbs

just doing what we want to do. Is that the

way to live life? Hey, guys, you know, just doing

what you do every day, that's not life, that's mundane repetition.

But going out there to see somebody get saved, to

be able to multiply yourself through seeing other people get saved,

that's a wonderful place to be because you're giving them hope.

I read an article about this doctor recently, a couple

of days ago who when she was asked this question,

can a man have babies? And she couldn't answer. She

did not want to answer because the world believes today

that men can have babies. I pray that you will

not be deluded, because that is a delusion. And so

I decided to start facebooking again, which I haven't done

in a long time, and I wrote this stage man,

and I said, I would have more respect for someone

who says I am a woman, but I want to

live like a man, or I'm a man, but I

want to live like a woman, rather than a person

who tries to get you to confess what they believe

you know in in in certain countries, if you if

if a woman says they are man and you call her,

if you call him her, which is what you see,

they'll put you in jail. Did you know that? So

what I'm trying to say is this world is getting nasty.

It's spinning on its head, out of control. The only

ones that are going to give it some semblance of

order are the ones that God has put on earth

to follow his plan. What is his plan? When God

says don't touch this, don't do that, do we still

touch it? Yeah? You know, I love Adam. He was

quite a jerk. Actually. You know why because because God

told him don't eat the fruit. You know what he did?

He let his wife test the theory. And I believe

he ate the fruit because when he saw his wife

ate the apple as she didn't die immediately, So he

must have talked to himself, OKAYRD, so I can have

what's not mine. Then he ate the fruit, and then

God decides to make an appearance. You see, we cannot

for God. God knows her heart. God knows her heart.

Don't touch what we're not supposed to touch. And how is

this in relation to Sherry Christ? With people? We'll find out.

The tide is not about money, not just about money, okay,

but it's about acknowledging God as God. Remember I said,

it's not really about the letter of the Lord. It's

about the spirits, about the heart, It's about the hearts,

about acknowledging God is God that we would set aside money,

time and everything else for him. Now we know about

the setting aside of money. We talk about that tie.

What's your tie? Ten percent? We know about that. I

remember the first time I ever gave a type. I

was a tennis player. And I know you don't look

at it now. Just imagine imagine myself, young, slim, fit,

she said, imagine me handsome. I still am handsome again,

I haven't. That hasn't changed anyway. So I wanted to

buy a new tennis record. So I was saving for

my tennis record. Then I heard about Tide. I just

got saved, and the word of the Lord was too tide.

So I took that money that I was saving, and

I tie that so, which means the getting of my

tennis record would be put back quite a number of months,

all right. But out of the blue, a day or

two after I did that, my father asked me, Hey,

I think it's time you got a new tennis record.

Can I buy one for you? God knows, man, God

knows okay, So it's not law, but the spirit of

putting God first, giving God what belongs to him. We

may say we don't have enough of time. Let's talk

about time. We don't have enough of time? Why should

God give us? If we have no time for God?

Why should he What makes us so special that He

should give us time when we can't bother to do

what pleases him time? You know, if we are supposed

to tie time, that would mean the letter of the

law states that we would have to give God two

point four hours a day. Right, how many of you

think that that means quiet time? Two hours to two

point four hours. Anything you do for God is credited

to that time. Okay, you take getting up early to

drive to church. From the time you get up and

prepare other time is already running. You come to church,

you spend a couple of hours, You go back, you

go your fellowship. One next thing you know, you've actually

clocked in four hours. Difficult. You decide, Hey, I want

to take a friend out because he's feeling down. I

want to show him the love of Christ. You may

not have talked Jesus Christ, but you lived it through

touching his life. What was that another couple of hours?

Then you say, Okay, I'm going to spend time reading

the Word, praying, getting on my knees. Today I did

not walk ten kilometers because of my knee, and then

I was looking at at John just now getting from

the stage, just walking down and coming up. I was

so jealous. I say, if I get down now, I

cannot come up. If I put my knee up, that's it.

That's it's gone. It's stuck, all right. So for the

first time I did not walk ten kilometers while praying.

But what I did was I put a nice stick

cushion on the ground and I got on my knees

and I prayed for this delivery today. Because there's a

song that says, I can stand tall a mine neis

I can see for revol a mane needs, I can

see it all. Okay, that's another song from another time. Okay,

praise the Lord. So we may say we don't have

enough of time, but we do. We do have time.

But if it were if we were to give God

that time to show time, the Bible says we shall

reap time. Gosh, you have so much of studies to do. Right.

Let me tell you what I I always go back

to this story, and I didn't realize what I was

doing at the time. When I was studying in Singapore,

I stayed in the church, very holy boy he's a

church hosteler. Okay. I stayed in the church, so the

church was next door. I stayed in the hostel. Hostel

was a four story building. This was in Pandain Reservoir

Garden in Singapore. Now I go to school. I'd go

to school, I do everything that a student needs to do,

and then I go back. When I went back, I

put all my stuff together, go to church at ten

o'clock in the night. This is after dinner, after doing

my homework, after studying. I'll go to church at ten

o'clock at night and pray for people to be delivered

from evil spirits. And I will pray until five in

the morning. Three in the morning, go have another couple

of hours sleep, go to school. And I tell you

my school was a full day. Okay. I went to

school at seven o'clock, finish at one after having lunch,

I will train the tennis team until seven o'clock in

the night. Go back home, reach my hostel around eight thirty,

have a quick dinner, wash my clothes, do my homework,

do all my schoolwork, and back again into church. I

did that daily. I didn't realize I was sewing time.

I was sewing time. I became the head prefect of

the school, the first Malaysian to become head prefect of

the school. My class teacher refused to talk to me

for two weeks until I went up to her and

I asked her, have I done something wrong to you?

He says, something wrong because you seem very angry with me,

And she told me this. She said, don't you realize

you have you have the ability to be the top

student in this school, and you want to mess it

up by being head prefect. Do you realize every head

prefect in your school has fairly exam You're in and

you're out. I looked at her straight in the face

and I said, don't worry, I will be the first

to pass. And I didn't realize I was giving God

all that time, and my saturdays were free. You know

what I do my Saturdays, I call all my friends together.

You don't understand your work, come and see me. I

will teach you. That's what I did on Saturdays. When

the exam came, Man, I did so well. I already

did well. And after that, every hit prefect in the

school started to pass the exam. This is all recorded, Okay,

this is not fake. In case you want to check

those facts out, you can go to the National University

of the National Library in Singapore and you can actually

check the yearbooks. They're all there. I'm there in the yearbooks.

What I want to tell you is I gave God time,

and with whatever little time I had, God made it count.

Now to be giving God time sharing the word of

God to somebody, you're going to be giving time helping

a friend. You're going to be giving time reaching out

to your neighbor and saying it's going to be okay.

You mean to say God doesn't take into account your challenges.

You mean to say He won't help you. Guys, you

got to stop thinking. We got to stop thinking about ourselves. Okay,

put me in it, all right, We have to stop

thinking about ourselves. But when we spend time getting involved

in God's plan, which is what this is all about,

unpacking the vision. The vision is for what go out,

preach the gospel, make disciples, and God will take care

of our business. God will take care I want to

share your testimony with you, so we have h Okay,

I'll be honest. We try to run like our other

colleagues in the Board of Eldership, and in the ex

church ministry. But these guys are running at one thousand

miles per hour at the mable and myself are trying

to keep up. We're far behind. We can see them.

We're trying so hard to keep up with our aching knees,

our broken bags, whatever it is. But we try to, huh,

we try, We try and do our best. We fail

many times. For those of you that have seen us fail,

forgive us, all right, forgive us, but know this that

we try. A couple of months ago, my daughter calls up.

Some of you had this testimony, I'll just share it

with the rest. My daughter calls us to say, Dad, Mum,

I have a growth in my neck. It keeps growing bigger.

You know, I'm going to get it checked. So to me,

this was goiter, all right, because it was quite prominent.

It was gouter. Goiter is usually a growth in your

tyroid gland due to due to ironin deficiency. That's the

main reason. So anyway, she says, I'm going to get

this thing checked up. So she got it checked up,

and then she said the doctor said we need to

do further investigation. So we totally don't worry. Everything's going

to be okay, just just go for it. Just go

for it. Sometime in November, she called up. She called

me in the office. Now when it comes to bad news,

she will call me first. Okay, So she called me first.

And I remember this day because it's the only day

that Pastor cannot passed in front of my office. I

never see him pass in front of my office, but

he passed in front of the office. And you know,

past the Kenneth has called a lot of things to do,

so he doesn't hang around in any one place for

a very long time. But he was there all the time.

While my daughter was giving me this phone call my

daughter Ashley, she says, Dad, the results have come back

and they say that there is a growth in the

other side of the thyroid that needs immediate removal. And

in fact the doctor has said that it can al wait.

It needs to be removed immediately. Now. When she told

me that, I heard the Lord say cancer. Then she

called el Mabel. She told her the same thing, and

the Lord spoke to her and set operation. These we

heard Okay, I heard cancer, she heard operation. So I

told my daughter, Okay, don't worry about it. Tough things happened,

but you know what, get a second opinion. So they

sent all her tests to the US and it was

checked up by a top end or chronologist in the US,

a professor in a very well known university. I saw

the report, in a twenty page report. She said, get

this out immediately, do not wait. So she called and

she says, okay, Dad, this is what it is. But

God had already spoken to us, so we didn't fall

to pieces. In fact, it was so natural for us

to tell her it's going to be okay, don't worry

about it. It's going to be okay. You know why

we could feel that, and you know why we could

experience it because God had already prepared the both of us.

You know why good God took the trouble to prepare

the both of us us because with our broken bones

and a broken back, we are trying to keep up

with the marathoners. You see, if you're interested about God's things,

God's interested about your things. So anyway, she said that

insurance company has advised that I come back to Malaysia

to do it, so that there will be people around me.

She said that can you find me a surgeon I

have to find I said, what the insurance for us

don't know her. Okay, last, so I found a surgeon.

I contacted the hospital. I tell you, the nurses there

can drive you crazy. And finally, since Nati was moving,

I said, tell the doctor I'm coming now. So I

went to the hospital. I won't tell you which hospital.

I sat there and said, I'm not moving till I

see the doctor. The doctor came. I met up with him,

such a nice guy. We got the operation set. So

she was supposed to come back and get the operation

done on December third. December third, she contacted bronchitis. Came

back on December third. Doctor said, sorry, I can't operate

on you. You're still coughing. Postpone one week. We were

there with her in the hospital the day she was

to go in. She was starved the whole day because

you know operation, whenever you do an operation, you got

to starve right, no food in after some time, no water,

So they're starving her, starving her, starving her until about

ten o'clock in nine the operation didn't happen. Then finally

the nurse comes in and said the operation the doctor

had prior to that went on too long. So postpone

until the night, gave a little bit of food, she

went to sleep. Next thing we know, there's an SMS

whatsapped three o'clock in the morning. Doctor is taking me

in now for the operation. The operation went on from

three to seven. My daughter now has a scar from

this side of the neck to this side of the

neck like that six seven in scar. And the doctor

removed the uh thyroid, the whole thyroid gland. So it's

a complete thyroid deck. Thyroid deck to me, all right,

so both and limb nodules. So when I met him

in the evening, I asked him, so was there anything, Yeah,

I was cancer. So I said it was benign. He says, no,

it was malignant. But don't worry. We've got everything. She's

totally okay. I want you to know how God helped us,

all right? How did God help us? If she did

not have the goiter on this side, they would not

have discovered the cancer on this side. God has our

things in heart because we have His things at heart.

And you and I don't want to serve the Lord,

and we find it so troubles him to do things

for God. Hey, you want God to take care of

the things you cannot see start taking care of the

things he can, which is you and I working for him.

Although I see all things are possible with the tide,

some ways we can tipe. What can we do? We

can pray? Hey, guys, do we pray for somebody else?

We get this? Thank you so much for praying. Because

the church prayed for my daughter. Pastor immediately wrote to

me the next morning, I've prayed for Ashley and I

will continue praying for her. It was also on the

Tuesday Hour of prayer praying. You think prayer is meaningless,

it's just words, Seth. You've been appointed to pray for somebody.

That's what your name stands for. You and I we've

been appointed to pray for somebody. And in that praying,

what is that tithing? And God can give you back

thirty four sixty four, one hundred and four. I think

when Ashley is better, we receive back a thousand foller.

I was so depressed after Christmas. You have no idea.

And the people say you always depressed after Christmas or

me or my decorations going down. Christmas song's not heard anymore.

My daughter's all going their own way. But we had

the best Christmas with them. Around this time. So you see.

So now we look forward to the next Christmas. Law

start counting, start counting them the next Christmas. God is

good all the time, diyes praying. We can serve God

in the house. Do you know that serving God? I

want to tell you something about serving God in the house.

So there are many people who say, after all, you

can go to church here, you can go to church.

That God is in every church. Yes, he is. God

is in every church. But I want you to know,

if you look at scripture, it says he gave talents

to his servants. He didn't give talents to the visitors. Now,

those of us that you are visiting from a church,

please send your greetings to your pastors when you go back,

because I believe you are serving in that church. And

you may be here on holiday. If you haven't got

a church, we're open to you. Come and serve. You

want to get talents from the Lord. You serve in

the house. If you don't serve in the house, you

preclude yourself. You remove yourself from that blessing. And you

know what's the worst thing. When we go to some place,

they say I want to go to here, and next

you can want to go there and the following I

want to go somewhere else. You know what, you're treating

God like a restaurant. God has become your servant. Yeah,

it's true. God has become your servant. You want to

sample the cuisine in every other place. God didn't call

us to be food critics. He called us to be

servants in the house of the Lord. I feel for

this because I ask the Lord these kind of questions,

and God, the Lord gives me these kind of answers.

Share the word, man, what are you gonna do? Share

the word? Okay, Now, not everyone can get up on

stage and preach. Not everyone el Rose the ping O came.

I feel intimidated in your presence When I see them

sitting down there, I'm shivering. But guys, sharing the word

doesn't necessarily mean you speaking about it. If you can't,

if you don't have the words, what can you do? Hey, friend,

why didn't you come to church? You know we get

great messages. Somebody can speak to you, maybe your your

or your problem will be will be resolved. Come in listen.

You can do that, right, Yeah, you can invite a friend.

You can do that. You can even do this get

somebody to come and see your friend, somebody who can talk.

So you cannot talk? So what the world has ended? No,

there are things you and I can do so sharing. Yeah, yeah,

it's great if we can talk and praise the Lord.

And it's great if we can share the word, all

that is good. Right, But if you can't, there are

other ways to share the gospel. How about giving a track?

Cannot talk? Right, here's a Bible. You'll find your answer there.

Turn to page da da da da da da dat. There.

You don't need to talk. Man the pastor that I

was under in in Singapore during that time where I

used to pray for the deliverance cases. If you ask

him a question, he won't answer. You ask he is

a brilliant when it comes to the Bible. You ask

him any question. Read, you ask another question. Read? Why

does he need to say anything? The Word is telling

you everything you need to know. Guys, share make disciples?

Now you say I can't make disciples. How many of

you are parents? Quite a number? Right? You made babies right,

and whether you agree or you don't agree, your child

is looking at you. How many of you say, well,

he works exactly like a father because where do you

think he learned to walk from the father? Why not?

Why this one talks exactly like the mother. Where did

they learn to talk from the mother? Learned? What is that?

Do you know that, whether you are aware of it

or not aware of it, you are discipling somebody. So

why keep it unofficial? Get into the program, help somebody.

Oh I don't want to do guys, I'm gonna share

with you something in a little while. It's a little

bit scary, but you're gonna help somebody. Doesn't mean you

need to be a You know what the Bible says,

imitate me as I imitate Christ. That's what Paul says, right,

Paul says, imitate me as I imitate Christ. So the

only thing you know is, hey, Jesus Christ save me.

That's the only thing. Do you know? I got more

people saved just saying Jesus Christ save me than I

have talking about the whole theology of the Bible. The

most people that I brought to the Lord were simply

because in Jesus' name you can pray and the rain

will stop. And I did it, and he said was true.

I say, come in here, came to church, came in

walked out Bonn again. Out of those first six people,

three of them are pastors. Out of my good friends

in Singapore that I constantly spend time sharing about the

prayers that I had prayed in church, one of them

has now built six churches. One of them was cured

of cancer and is now Metionary Southeast Asia. And another

one shares what I told her about how God will

protect her, and she shares that same message which I

shared with her forty years ago with others. Guys, share

make disciples. They're looking at you. You know what was

the reason My friend's mother asked me to come and

stay with them. She wanted me to be an example

to her son. You know what I was doing. I

was making a disciple. Guys, you don't realize it. You

have what it takes. If not, God wouldn't have told

you to do it. Do you know that God has

more faith in you than you have in yourself, because

He showed a lot of faith when he said going

into the whole world, preach the gospel. Make disciples of

every towne tryba nation. That tells me God has faith.

You know that even Jesus exercises faith. Who is he

exercise faith in you and I make disciples take on leadership.

Now we have this word here called leadership, right, and

everybody cringes. I don't want to be a leader. I

see Elder Rosa, she has to go up there and share.

She's a leader. God Man used me to go up

there and share. So I don't want to be a leader. Hey, guys,

let me explain to you what leadership is. Again. Another

word for leadership is servanthood. If I say you want

to be a servant the Lord, you'll say yes. But

being a leader is being a servant. Being a leader

is being a servant. Right, So what are you leading?

You're leading the cause in servanthood? Be a leader because

in fact, when Elder mable and me were asked by

Pastor to take on leadership, we say, no needla. We

don't need to be called leader. We just serve in

the background. We just do things in the background. Hey,

no need leadership. I will come and I will clean

the church toilets. You know what Pastor said, it's not

about that. When you step into the office, you get

the anointing of that office. So why is it that

we get these miracles happening to us even when we're

not thinking about it, because there is an anointing of

the office that we are in. Guys, you and I

want to live in that office. We want to live

in that power of the glory of God. That things

are happening to us because we're doing His things. Guys,

community work okay anything, ah, Your community work is left

to those guys who are good guys. We can all

do community work. Okay. You know what we did for community.

We gave gifts to our the people who collect our garbage.

We gave a call. We say, all these people, can

you can you let us know when they're coming? We

want to prepare gifts for them. And little did we

find didn't Little did we know that all of them

came from Flores Flores Is, Indonesia, and they all actually Catholics,

and they're so said that they couldn't be home for Christmas.

And when they received those gifts until today, they love

us my house. They always make sure the garbage is clean.

But that's not the reason why we give. We wanted

to bless them. Community. You see, community is about blessing

people without expecting anything in return. Missions we can do that,

Elder Roles will testify. I went on that mission trip,

first time I ever went, and I said, okay, the

first time. Yeah, it's the first time I went on missions. Okay,

I go on mission trip. I thought I will pick

the most difficult one. So I went with her and

my leader was Michelle. I call her fearless leader. So

we went to Bakassi. The thing about Becassi is there's

no chairs anywhere you go, so the problem was sitting

on the floor. Once you sit on the floor, can

I get up? And you know, you gotta love the people, Okay,

they bless you. The houses are very small. Nobody in

Indonesia and the houses that we went to has furniture.

You know why because where they sit is where they sleep,

So the beds are always pushed up against the wall.

So we go into the house, we said, we talk

with the people and then I have to sit on

the floor. Then after I'm struggling to get up. But

it's okay, it's okay, go for missions. Do you know

that God will do great things for you and through you?

You ask her. I was so afraid that I had

to share on a Sunday Shane Bahssa, hey oh, I

translated that's the first time, I wrote the whole message out.

Now the whole message. I wrote the whole thing out.

Then after that I tied myself. Okay, forteen minutes. Then

I asked Ai to translate to the Bassa Indonesia. And

then when I went up on that Sunday, God said,

put the paper aside. Seventeen pages. I put it big labaga,

I don't like to wear glasses. Seventeen pages. God said,

put it aside. So I started talking. Of course, when

I got stuck, I'll refer to my living dictionary. She

helped me with a word. So I shared chat chat

chad chat chair chat. Then after that I said the

rose am I okay with time, She very gracious, said yeah, yeah, okay,

you go five minutes left, okay, okay. So I wrapped

it up in five minutes. Then when the whole thing

was over, I just looked at him and said, so,

but forty five minutes, right, She said, no, it's one

in a half hours. God is able to give you speech.

You put yourself out there, he will give you what

you need, some missions, all right. So the Bible says

that when we tied, God will div he will rebuild

the devour the one who prevents you from seeing these

great things happen. God will say, get your hands off

their lives, so heart check. So how can I redeem

my time with the law? How will you redeem your

time with the Lord? Just doing the things you want

to do. But it says your give to Caesar? What

is Caesar's and God? What is God? So the company,

the family your responsibilities. That's your responsibility, give to Caesar.

What is How many of your students here put up

your hand You're either a student, not a student? Okay,

what is your responsibility now? Your responsibility is to be

the best student that you can be. That is your responsibility.

How many of your parents here put up your hands straight?

What is our responsibility to provide our children with that

which is necessary necessary so they can be the best

students that they can be. That is our responsibility. Guys,

your responsibility at this age is not to pair up.

Your responsibility is not to get sidetracked. Be friends with everybody,

Be a friend with that one person after you have

done your responsibility. Because when you get the things mixed up,

your life runs into trouble. Don't mix things up. Keep

it clear. I mean I was in Singapore. Nobody was

looking at me. Right, I could have run away with

any girl I wanted. Hey, I was a looker, right,

I show you pictures. You won't believe how good I look. Hey,

you laugher, I'm telling you the truth. I had girls

from others schools come up to me and say, can

I look into your eyes? So I asked them, why

would you do such a thing. No, there's a story

going around that the hit prefect of Batley's Secondary school

has got such dreamy eyes and wonderful eyelashes. Don't come

up to me afterwards and check it out again. It

was forty years ago. But you see the point I'm

trying to make is my responsibility was to be the

best student that I could be. I was friends with everybody.

I was a friend with not one particular person, because

what was my responsibility to be the best student I

could be? Do you know when I got involved with someone,

when I had fulfilled that responsibility, and then I saw

Elder Mabel and God said she is the one. She took.

She took a longer time to see. That's all right,

that's that's all right, because God wanted me to know

what it was like to be chased for many years.

Three years after that, I was chased and chase and

chase until I said yes. Because when I first asked her,

she said no, Okay, that's all right. Sorry. What I'm

trying to say is God has your things at hand.

She said no, But God told her you can have

whoever you want, but he is my pick for you.

Right on the one, he said, yes, you see me

and God, verything one give to Caesar. What is Caesar's Okay?

So what action am I going to take to give

God what belongs to him? Wow? Tied your time? Okay?

How are we doing for time? Okay? So fifteen more minutes?

Appraise the Lord. Are you having a good time? Are

you liar? If you're having a good time, it has

to be a ruptures chiller. Okay, okay, let's move on.

Let's move on. So intention, prayer, devotion, community connections, time, schedule, evangelism.

Say these this is what determines the leadership a leader.

These are the things that we do. So what is

significant about the next twenty years? We talk about twenty twenty, right,

So when we approach twenty twenty, God downloaded a lot

of significant things to us. God has brought us through

twenty years faithfully, Joseph and the dream. So what is

the next twenty years? Daniel? Daniel is what go out

into the marketplace? Hey, not a marketplace Christian, but a

Christian in the marketplace. You are the influencer. The marketplace

is not the influencer. Let's get this right. Twenty twenty.

What is twenty twenty twenty is perfect vision. So even

do you realize in twenty twenty something happened in militia

change your government. Wow, that was one of the things.

So Daniel is going into the marketplace. You know, he's

not going to the marketplace, but he was. He seld

four kings, He selved four kings, you know, Daniel's self

for kings. God showed that each king was like a government.

The election cycle is every five years. Hence five times

four cycles is twenty years. You and I got to

get excited about the years to come, but more so

you than me. You know what, next twenty years, I'll

be eighty four. Next twenty years, what will you be?

You will be leaders in your field, You will be

the shakers and the movers. You will have your own families,

you will have your own kids. You will have challenges

on your own that your father and mother will not

be bailing you out of. You will be determining your

own direction. I pray that you will determine your direction

with the help of the Holy Spirit leading the life

that He has shown you to live for His glory.

And that's the way it should be. That's the way

it should be. Let's break it down a little bit

by size. Okay, so the act leader they are we're

talking about twenty twenty one was significant and there were

key takeaways from that event. Okay, we need to make

sure your huddle and your huddle members are clear about

the part they are part of the wall? What wall? Well,

the wall they had crumbled and Niehi Maya took fifty

two days to build it up with what careful planning.

Everybody knew the part that they were to play. What

is the part you and I have to play? Get

up in the morning. I don't know what to do, Lord.

If you stay with it, I don't know what to do,

then that's half the prayer. The press should be. I

don't know what to do, Lord, Lord, what do I do?

And the Lord will give you direction. He'll give you

a direction. Last year, he said, last year, Yeah, well,

I started doing something new. And something new was I

tell people, you got somebody who's not well, you've got

somebody who doesn't know the Lord. Call me. I will come.

I will talk to them, I will share with them.

You know why I'm willing to do that because I'm

no longer afraid of what people think of me. Who cares?

Now you like me, you don't like me? So what

I live? Because the only one that matters is whether

God likes me or not. So I tell you about Christ.

You don't like me, I'm going to follow pieces. No,

I'll just say, hey, Lord my title. I spent two

hours with the guy he said, No, it's all right.

I was my tithe for the day. So that becomes

that guy's problem, not your problem, because then that guy

has to answer to the Lord. Hey, this Onelly took

time to share with you. What did you do with it? Hey,

you think we all going to escape? We will have

to account to the Lord for every bit of our time.

God really gives us chances. We learned that. Yes, we

had a session where we talked about we learned about

second chance. You know how much God loves you and me.

I want you to know something. God is not about

catching us doing wrong. You know when your friend does something, Ah,

you see, you did that wrong? That should not be

our attitude. You know what our attitude should be? Can

I help you? Is there any way I can make

your life better? That should be an attitude when we

see a friend doing a mistake, say, look, guy, friend,

I don't know what's going through your mind, but if

ever you need help, I'm here for you. It's much

better than say you're doing wrong. You're so wrong? What's

the matter with you? Do you know that Christ was

about catching people doing right? He went to the temple

and a lot of people were doing a lot of things.

What God is I? What God is I? A woman

who had nothing but gave two minds? He's about catching

people doing right. The people were about catching people doing wrong.

When they threw that lady in front of him, she

was an adultress. I always wonder what happened to the guy.

Do you realize that they threw the woman before Jesus?

How come they didn't throw the guy? It was a setup.

In case you do not know it was a setup.

But where Jesus is concerned he was about forgiveness. Hey,

I'm not going to condemn you. I want to see

you live and live life correctly. Guys, you've got to

know the heart of your savior, you know when you

think about that. Huh. That's why when that song came

on on E Swings, I just said that. Already My

eyes feel like they're about to tear because it tells

me about God and how much he loves us and

how much he cares for us. Make sure, make sure

that every one of that thousand we are the thousand

we are counted for. We are participating, we are playing.

You know, it's not about the numbers, but it's about

the names. Guys, You and I we count for something.

You think you have nothing to offer, Well, let me

tell you that teeth from the Cross who said, Jesus

remember me when you come into your kingdom. What did

he have to offer? He was already on the cross.

Was there anything he could do for Jesus? You and

I say no, Jesus thought otherwise. You know what he

could do for Christ Lord remember me. The one thing

he could do he did. And what did Jesus say today?

Did Jesus didn't say tomorrow. Jesus didn't say, you get

down from the cross and do what you need to

do first. Jesus did not even say, just now you

ridicule me, and now you want me to speak nicely

to you. You read the scripture, Okay, the scripture said

that both thieves ridicule Jesus. But somewhere along the line

one of them repented and said, Lord, remember me, And

Jesus said, today you will be with me in paradise. Lovely,

isn't it. Don't you love that about Jesus. He's out

to catch us doing good? So how can we break

it down and make it personal? In Ephesians for sixty

INSS from whom the whole body join and knit together

by every joint supplies, according to the effective working by

which every part does its share. Guys, if you're a musician,

don't expect the table arranger to play the instrument. If

you are a musician, come up here and lead praise

the Lord. For Janet I saw one keyboard is today

she brought the spirit of the Lord down with all

her wonderful apage, heels and scales. So how many of us, hey, look,

you know I would play the drums. But I'm not

here often enough, but I would with whatever beat I

could keep, I would do that. Guys, if you have

the ability, come up here and do what you can do,

because you're part of that body. So somewhere along the line,

the hands are not working, or the eyes are closed,

or the years have been shot, and only the legs

are on. Guys, I wanted This is the part that

scares me. This is the part that I spoke to

the Lord about the thing that interests Jesus is what

Matthew twenty eight. Now, all the other parts of scripture

is about us getting saved, about us living right before God.

Is about how we are supposed to conduct ourselves. You read,

the whole scripture is talking about our personal conduct and

worship towards God. But what is Jesus' interests? What is

his interests? Go preach, make disciples, Go preach, make disciples.

You see, that's What's on God's mind. Now if we

refuse to do it, you know what we're telling Jesus,

this is not on my mind. What's on your heart

lot is not what's on mine. What interests you has

no interest in mine. Do you know that when we

do not get on board with sharing the gospel or

helping people share the gospel, or providing responsibility and means

for people to share the gospel, or for doing what

we can to get people to hear the gospel, or

for discipling someone, or for being a disciple, or for

getting involved in these things. We are telling the Lord

you don't interest me. And then my mind goes to

scripture that says, and there were some who came to him,

and he says, depart from me. But Lord, we preached

in your name, we cast out demons. You know what

he says, depart from me. I never knew you. Why

would that be? The seven sons of Schema tried to

cast out demons in Jesus name. Did they succeed? No?

But what does that scripture say? That scripture says, we

cast out demons in your name, and he will say,

what depart from me? I never knew you. I'm not

meaning to scare you, That's not my purpose. But I

want you to know there has to be some relationship

between what interests God and what interests us. And if

what interests God is not what interests us, I'm telling

it to you. Now, go to the Lord and talk

to him about it, because while we are breathing, we

have time to correct it. While we have life in

our spirit, we can correct the situation. Because once our

breath has left our body, how are we going to

answer the Lord? You know, when we meet Jesus, he's

not going to ask us how many businesses we own?

You know, when we meet Jesus, he's not going to

ask us how many is we had in our exams?

When we meet Jesus is not going to ask us

what car did we drive? When we meet Jesus, I

believe one of the questions he's going to ask us

is was what that was on my heart? In your heart? Sobering,

isn't it? Let's be sober now rather than cry later on. Okay,

let's I'm gotta wrap this up. Okay, So why twenty

years well X approached its twentieth aniverse three year twenty twenty,

God revealed to pass it the first twenty years as

Joseph we know that dream, and now the next twenty

years Daniel the vision. So let's let's talk about some

practicalities here. What is God's diet? God's diet is too

first to fill the earth half dominion. That's in Genesis.

All right, fill the earth, and now what are we

supposed to do? We are supposed to make disciples. What

is our upload? Our upload is the type. Start with

what we have, Start with what we have. What's our

action in the process? And then the leaving the living

is what the leaven. It's the discipline to keep doing

it until it becomes a momentum. It's the plan. Get

with the have you heard that statement before, Get with

the program. That's eleven. And of course Passa talked about

the church songs. That was what is in the hands,

scoured the house? Such what was in the house. And

today I think we sang two songs that were done

in house. Okay, let's go a little bit further. So

now we know that roughly, what is how do we

put this practice? Well, we talk about past us talking

about level two. God's die was what one thousand times

one thousand? Does it actually mean one thousand times one thousand? Yes?

And no, yes, praise the Lord of it happens. No,

it's about the spirit, the desire to keep growing, the

desire to keep planting. Do not stop. Okay, take stock

of the first thousand. We are the first thousand men, Hey,

God's taking stock of us. We are the ones who

can work like Daniel to see God's principles come to pass.

What's the tie. Well, out of that thousand, we have

two hundred and fifteen, we have about two hundred and

fifteen leaders love we do, and the rest of the

seven fifty be disciples. If any one of you not

being disciples, approach your leaders and get in a program,

get in a program, because you need to be disciples

in order to be a discipler. Why you want to

show God what interests him, interests you and what interests

Jesus going into the world, preach the gospel, make disciples

of every tribe tongue and every tribe nation in tongue,

or something like that. The eleven make a list, guys

who to see make a list, Make a list, coming

up with a strategy. This is a strategy. Sharing the

plan with you, unpacking that's a strategy. Give you the

information that you need to know why you're doing. What

you're doing makes life better, all right? And then we

talk about level three. What would level three be? Well,

by twenty thirty, we want to see a thousand, a thousand,

not church transfers. Okay, but new believers nine thousand New

believers nine thousand is the ninety percent. Ten percent was us.

Let's work. See because if each one of us brings

in one percent a year by twenty thirty, we have

now five years to go. If you haven't brought in

one person since twenty twenty or five behind, which means

that you have to bring in two each, bringing two

each for the next five years, you say, wow, you

count like that. Well, if you plan like that before

the Lord, the Lord will honor. If you're willing to

do it, the Lord will help you. Okay, So daily

he wants his daily bread. Well, ninety percent new believers.

What's her tie? Every one of the one thousand partners

reach one new soul every year, nine thousand new souls.

What's the eleventh? Look and pray for an opportunity to

show God's love. Hey, show God's love. Help and need

somebody help, Not just anybody help, help somebody. God's love

displays power and point to Jesus. Every day. God will

do great miracles through you. Remember the person who God

saved because I talked to him about badminton guys, God

will use He will speak to you to tell you

how to get people safe if you'll give him an opportunity.

All right, So what we want to account When we

want to account for something, we must first break it down.

So here this is the practical part of break it down.

Make sure the numbers become names. Hey, we're not talking

about two people. How do you get two people? Find

two names that you can go out talk to. You know,

some of them may not accept Christ straight away. I

shared with a guy I wrote in his autograph book.

Five years later, I find that he was on his

yacht and he was about to die. He remembered what

I wrote in the autograph book. He called on the

name of Jesus. Jesus came to him on the water,

saved his life. He got back to show, gave up

all his riches. Today he is serving the Lord as

a pastor. How long did that process take? It didn't matter.

I shared with him in nineteen eighty two, maybe five

years in nineteen eighty seven. He accepts the Lord. Guys,

just do what you need to do. Okay. Numbers ideas.

They will be radical ideas. Some of them will be

radical ideas, some of them be normal ideas. Not every

radical idea. Not every idea needs to be radical. Some

can be normal. What's a normal eye? Call a friend,

go and see him. Radical idea, Have a evangelistic outreach

in your own house called have food, big party, celebration,

call you know, gospel singers from around the world. That's radical. Okay,

that can work too, Okay, Time and investment redeem the time.

He break it down. What do I want to do

on Monday? What do I want to do on Tuesday?

What do I want to do on Wednesday? But you see,

if you don't break it down the time, if you

leave everything in the air, guess what, it'll be very airy,

fairy nothing happens. If you ask yourself why nothing happens

in the last twenty years for your life and mine?

Maybe because we've just left everything up in the air.

In Luke thirteen, verse sixty nine, it says he also

spoke the s parable A certain man had a fig tree. Ha,

this is another one, the scary one. A certain man

had a fig tree. You must also here some scary ones. Okay.

Planted a video and he came seeking fruit on it

and found none. Then he said to the keeper of

the vineyard, look for three years, I've come seeking fruit

on this fig tree and found none. Cut it down.

Why does it use up the ground. But he answered

and said to him, sir, let it alone this year

also until I dig around it and fertilize it. And

if it bears fruit, well, but if not, then you

can cut it down. You don't want God to cut

us down. You don't And the only way God will

not cut us down is if we are bearing fruit.

And if you're not bearing fruit, it means this. You

need to dig around that tree and you need to

fertilize it with the Word of God and prayer and

belief and confession, the power the Holy Spirit. That's what

you need to do. So, guys, if you've found yourself

lacking in this area, your life is not over. It

simply means you've got some fertilizing to do. You got

some effort that you need to do to get your

life right right so that what is on God's heart

will be on yours as well. Okay, there may be

those who have not responded to these last few years,

yet God is still counting them in. Wow, he hasn't

cut them down yet. You know when you're cut down,

when your life is over, you have no more chance.

Don't wait until that time. Okay, even those who have

not been fruitful, if they are still attending church, give

them another chance. Today you're being given a chance. How

many of you year one hundred and twenty? The chance

is yours to get with the program, to get in

line with what once and may you always bear fruit.

Because if your desire is to live with what's on

God's heart and make it what's on your heart, I

guarantee you one hundred percent you will succeed. So what

is this vision? We have been given a chance to

bear fruit in church? So what is this chance? You

and I in the fifth session of unpacking the series

have learned, then we got to tie to God and

give to him what's his due. We've got to trust

him to see him work in our lives. We've got

to believe that he's a god of second chances, and

he will give you that chance to work. And what's

important is for us to do what he wants us

to do. So let's go out there and be a

difference in the world around us. Let's stay. We're gonna

sing a song, lovely song. Let's praise the Lord and

give him glory. We want to love Jesus with our lives.

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

hate for you.

God bless
