Example | Pr Kenneth Chin

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

We hope this message will light up your tea.

I want to speak to you this morning about this.

Let's put the title up x TV. You don't mind.

This is the title for our message today and I

hope to encourage you. Oh. As I turned on my iPad,

I see my wife talking to me. She says, how

are you? I said, I'm fine. Better report that she

reprised again. Okay, all right, yeah, Sandra, I'm working for Jesus.

Now speak to the Lord. Okay, no, no, no examples, okay, examples.

So I had two messages. One was prepared much earlier

about faith, and this one I just received from the

Lord last week. It's been something that he's been speaking

to me about for years now, but he put it

on my heart, especially because when I was doing my

quiet time last week, I came to First Corinthians ten,

which we will turn to in a bit. First Corientians

ten we're going to read verses one to eleven. But

I came to that, you know, and now I'm no

longer in First Corinthians. I have just gone into Second

Corinthians in my current quiet time reading. But let's go

back to about a week ago where it was First

Corentians ten for me, and when I read it, I've

heard the Lord saying to me, I want you to

encourage my church before the year comes to a close

about a thought that they need to either know for

the first time or to be reminded what life is

really all about. So let's read the word of God

in First Corinthians ten, and let's see what the Lord

wants to say to us. Where'st what. Moreover, brethren, I

do not want you to be unaware that all our

fathers were under the cloud, all passed through the sea,

all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in

the sea, all ate the same spiritual food, and all

drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of that

spiritual rock Hallelujah, that followed them, and that rock was Christ.

But with most of them, God was not well pleased.

This is an ouch moment. This is a sad part

of history. Most of them, the Bible says, not just

some of them, most of them, God was not well pleased.

Some of you know that our lives, especially as Christians,

have one goal, and that is to please God. We

want to please God. We want to put us big

smile on the face of Papa God right, our father

in heaven. But the people of the past were not

able to do that. Their bodies were scattered in the wilderness. Ver. Six.

Now these things became our examples, or there you go,

first mention of the word examples. These things became our

examples to the intent that we should not last after

evil things, as they also lasted, and do not become

idolatous as were some of them. As it is written,

the people sat down to eat and drink and rose

up to play. Nor let us commit sexual immorality, as

some of them did, and in one day, twenty three

thousand fell. That's a lot of people. No let us

temp Christ as some of them also tempted and were

destroyed by serpents. Nor complain as some of them also

complained and were destroyed by the destroyer. Now all these

things Verse eleven says happened to them as example. Is

a second time we're seeing the word examples. And they

were written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of

the ages have come. Two times is mentioned in scripture examples,

and that everything was done, everything happened, everything was written

for our example. So, brothers and sisters, ladies and gentlemen,

if I hold up this Bible now and from Genesis

to First Corinthians ten, the author, which is Paul, Paul

the apostle who wrote Corinthians, is saying that everything from

Genesis to First Korethians ten was written for our example.

If I asked you for our one word definition, one

word summary of this Bible that you and I follow

after with our lives, it is our example example example.

That also probably means that everything from First Corinthians ten

to today and every other day after is for example.

And if you think about that for a moment, you

will realize that the summary of your life and mind,

our vision, our mission, our goal, our aim is to

live an exemplary life. And I pray that that will

help you with your living every day as it has

helped me. The reason why I wake up early in

the morning you spend time with God. The reason why

I treat my wife the way I treat her, The

reason why we do church the way we do church.

The reason why I planted another church at fifty two

when I should be retiring, The reason why almost everything

In fact, right now, I'm doing my doctorate, as some

of you know, is a DBA that I'm being offered

from and by help University, and I'm in the middle

of my thesis now. Just finish my chapter two, which

was the hardest for me because his literature review means

I have to read other people's literature and it's heard.

It's very hard. But the Lord told me, Kenneth, I'm

going to make you an example that it can be done.

It can be done. With God, all things are possible.

So don't retire to early, don't die too young. All right.

If God has given you life, there is a reason,

there is a purpose, and that is to be an example,

being an example when you are a teenager, be an

example when you are young working aout, be an example

when your grandparent. Every stage in life is to be

lived for the glory of God. And if you believe it,

say amen, do all things with that vision, do all

things with that mission, do all things with that spirit

that attitude. Okay, so let's go to the slides now,

because if I don't go to the slides, it might

take an hour and a half. But I'm going to

try to be guided by the slides because the stories

are plentiful, and I want to encourage all of you

to live your life well. And if there's any question

you can't answer, just answer and say it is for

example's sake, Why are you doing this to your wife?

It is for example, say I want to show my

children how to treat a woman. Why are you doing

this to your husband? I want to show the young

people all around me, this is the way you treat

a man. Why are you doing this to church? I

want to show the world that this is how you

honor God. Why do you give your offering like that?

I want to show that, you know, even though I

have very little in my pocket, I can still give

God my everything. A lot of people are complaining these days.

I don't know why my children in this way, you know,

I sometimes want to ask them to look look in

the mirror of But I think it's all fair. It's

always fair to say that, right, because children, as they

grow up, they have their own decisions. But I'll tell

you a lot of it has got to do with

that that somewhere, somehow someone modeled something to some young

person and they thought that that was the way. Hey, listen,

whether you are a good example or a bad example.

You are still an example. You and me we are

examples whether it can be done or it can be done.

You and I are examples of yes or no. Anybody okay,

we are all examples of with God, all things are

possible or with God it's not possible even with God.

Next Light says, everything is about example in life, really

everything the whole Bible, whole Bible, all the way. Now,

let me go from Genesis to Revelations and every day

of our life. It's about example. How you stay in

this church is an example. If you're going to stay

in this church, be an example of how and why

you stay. Give your best. Don't have half half hearted

you know attitude. If you're gonna be staying, stay and

give an example. If you're going to be going, it's okay,

go with an example, because opportunities are given to us.

You know, I left FGA to help SIB, and I

was SIB's first youth pastor. As I be that time

was eighty people. Now there are probably eight thousand, but

I was there first youth pastor. I want to make

sure that when I left FGA, I left with an example,

and that's why I get called back to speak. I

spoke in FJKL two weeks three weeks ago, this is

very important. And then when I left SIB to start

ex church, leave with an example. Oh it's so important, guys,

I need to understand. It's not about he's bad, she's good. No,

it's about your example. You want to show people that

you can do it and do it well. You want

to stay in your company, be the best staff, be

the best. Don't be there complaining and still want to

collect a salary. But if you want to leave your company,

leave well, leave well. Daniel Trunk. Trunk just told me

his boss ask him Jes last week, Daniel, are you

happy where you are because your job is still available?

He's a really left one, you Sunway. Once we write

him back, he says, achieve very happy. I'm fulfilling. He says, okay, anyway,

Sunway is celebrating our Christmas stuff, Christmas lunch. Come back

and have lunch with us. Because he left well, he

left very well. He told me. The testimony of how

he left. Is this important. It's not just about you

frustrated and angry and therefore one to throw you know,

the dustiness your your enemy that you know, it is

about hold on a minute in good times in bad times.

My life is to be lived as an example. Okay,

let's move on. Let's move on. Oh where did my

notes go to? All right, here we go next light.

This says everything is possible as long as they are examples.

When I when I travel the country, I realize which

have a church I go to? Nineteen nine percent of

the churches have got problems. And I'll give you just

an example, have problems with young families not serving the lot. Okay,

So I go and then the pastor will tell me, oh,

pasta kendeth, we don't have young people. Our teenagers are

gone by form five, Form five finish, they're all gone. Okay,

you're talking about a lostar. We're talking about you know,

all these small towns gone. They're God, they're gone because

they go to kl for studies. They go to p there,

maybe Singapore sometimes and some overseas, but mainly these areas.

And so they don't have young people serving. They don't

have campus students for sure, and young okay, doubts usually

are not there also because they find jobs here. Okay,

So churches are closing down, folks, I want to tell

you right now, I've got news from the ground that

even in Pahang itself, so many churches close down Allo

Star up North Kada. You know, people don't have the

next in line. Okay, Now there are young families, I heard,

and young families are probably the only hope with the

word young still there to serve the Lord while you're young.

And this is the thing. The thing is, you get

the first young couple married and having a baby. The

woman is pregnant, and the guy thinks to himself, because

there's no example in the church that it can be done,

he tells the pastor, pastor, when we give birth to

our first child, can you please give us six months off.

The pastor of course understands, because we are supposed to

be very understanding, and we say, of course, because first

baby is very hard. It's the first time being a parent.

Blah blah blah. Six months, six months. It turns into

one year very easily, my friends, because you can into

a habit. And when he turns into two year, and

by your second year, you're getting pregnant again. And so

now the second child means another one two years and

then hopefully I don't know know, hopefully you don't get

your third, but you know, but you know, because you

want to serve the Lord, and then you might get

your third and then you find yourself ten years not

serving the Lord. Okay, now listen to me, listen my heart,

because something has got to change. But where does it start?

Something has got to change, but where does this start?

Nineteen nine percent of the young families in Extra serve

the lot nineteen nine percent. And I'm just trying to

be humble about it because actually I think it one

hundred percent, but you know, maybe not, maybe not, but

it's a high percentage. I can't remember any young family

that I know, there's not one. At least one party

is serving the lot. But anyway, it's a high percentage.

Maybe maybe let's be let me, let's be humble, but

it is it ninety percent, okay, and in many other

churches is going to be ten said. So I believe

that X is blessed like this because we are supposed

to be a blessing. It means whenever we travel, we

want to tell churches all across Malaysia it's to hold

one child another child and say let's go I to

p Alexandra where we were married twenty nine years ago.

If I had a child, I will not stop serving

the law. Now. I know it's tough because there is crying,

there is food, a crankiness, there is you take the

child out after crash pampers and it pulls right as

you're closing the door of your house to go to church.

Why does it poll only when you're about to go

to church? Right? And I told my wife, I said, dear,

whatever it is, I know it's going to be tough.

I know it's going to be tough. But whatever it is,

there is no other option. So you must work your

life around what I call the true North, work your

life around the unchangeable, because if you don't have that,

and everything is open up in your life for a

messy life, there is no time to sleep, there's no

time to wake up, there's no time to eat, there's

no time to serve, there's nothing you with me. So

I see the thing is that I also know is tough.

I've seen it. But in my mind that I have this,

as I said, true North, this compass, this compass that

says Jesus is right there in front of me and

the Bible says, looking at to Jesus, the author and

the finishing of my faith. So I got to look

to Jesus, and I'll illustrate this towards the end. But

you gotta walk this line, walk this narrow path that

leads to life, because why is the path? Why does

the path that leads to destruction? And I'll show you

what I means towards the end of this message. So

the Lord God Almighty is trying to raise up examples

so that he can bless his body, his church. He's

trying to raise up examples of it can be done,

it's possible, so that when others see, they go like, ah,

now it's getting worse. Though. Now the young family is

or rather the young couple that's getting married and having

a baby. The wife is pregnant, maybe it's just three,

four or five months. The bump is showing, all right,

and the pastor now goes even one step further and

go like, hey, I can see that you're having a baby.

Why do you take six months off? Because we want

to do better by our understanding and actually it actually

sounds very the most understanding pastor in the world. We

might get award at the end of the Month award

at the end of the year. Now, I also want

to be understanding. But the Lord told me to make disciples,

and he didn't have any scripture. He says that, and

make disciples only of people who are not pregnant. Make

disciples of people who have only one child to a

second child. Don't don't touch them they are people. Don't

touch senior citizens because they retired. Id Let them do

their gardening, let them play golf. Okay. The g O

LF is going to replace the g O D okay,

and play Sundays more so. That's going to be your cathedral,

your new cathedral, okay. And the worship always goes up

one like hey, it goes up and it comes right down.

I'm joking, I know, but not. I'm speaking to you

hard to heart because I'm telling you right now, twenty

twenty five is coming just around the corner. And if

you can catch this, I'm telling you, twenty twenty five

can be amazing. It can be prospero arno, it can

be good, if not great. You don't have to retire, seriously,

especially from the Lord and from his calling. You don't

have to. There's so much more in store. If you

have lie and God it's given you breath. Oh so

much more, so much more example, example, example, God is

looking for examples, and as long as this example than

is possible, God is looking for examples. The next slide.

Adam was supposed to be an example. He failed in

many ways, and because of Adam's failure, the rest of

us are in a mess. But then he found Abraham,

and Abraham was an example. Even until he was ninety

one hundred years old, Joseph was met by Portifa's wife,

Sleep with me, sleep with me. Every day she says,

sleep with me, and Joseph says, I can't do this.

I fear God. Moses was an example, supposed to be

the Prince of Egypt. Could have had comfortable life, but

instead wanted his calling in state, chose purpose over prosperity.

David was an example. Wasn't he until today is to

quoting him a man after God's own heart? Yes, even

with Batsheba he failed, but then he asked God to

forgive him, and God restored Esther. I had to add

one woman's name in here. What an example. She was

going to die if the king was angry with her

for coming into his presence without him calling her. She said,

if I perish, I perish. I just got to do

what's right. Daniel, Jesus himself, Peter, Paul, Timothy imitate me?

Is I imitate? God is looking for examples. Maybe I

put dot dot because I want to add Kenneth's chin,

elder Bingh out of Terrance. I want to elder at.

A woman's name is the elder Mabel. And then the

day is coming where it's going to be Sarah and Amma.

But we choose every day. We choose whether we want

to be a normal you ordinary teen they just likes

to mess around, book each other, or are we going

to be extraordinary? Ordinary? Extraordinary? Oh, you can't preach long

to young people who said, you're talking about ordinary youth.

We don't have any ordinary youth in this church. Church.

You know, see all these the champions, they're amazing. We

don't have. We don't have just normal go crazy. Why

can I see in church one? Can you servant? No?

We don't, we don't, we don't. So everybody, Okay, God

is looking for examples. How is he going to speak

to the teenagers in Malaysia through the teenagers in this church?

How is he going to speak to the young doubts

in Malaysia through the young douts in this church? How

are you going to speak to the young families in

Malaysia to the young families in this church. How's he

going to speak to the senior citizens or the seniors

through the seniors in this church? How's he going to

speak to the iss man, to the business men in

this hurt? I was going to speak to the college

campus students, you know who was of partying all the time,

you know, and drinks and and and you know, sexual

stuff going on in and and the and the and

the and the campus students in this church, says, Hold

on a minute. I don't have to walk that road.

I don't have to be what you want me to be.

I can be what God wants me to be. Jesus

at twelve, where was he in the temple talking with

older men, older leaders, dialogueing twelve years? Oh? What was

he trying to show us? Example? Never? He was thirty?

Example in life, he was an example in death. He

was an example still hanging on the cross. You know,

I remember one time, but I was a preacher many

years ago. I was so it was so funny, I laughed,

but not funny, because he said, how would you react

when you're hung there and you have no sin? You know,

there is the son of God. He's some days probably

looking at them. Are you wait and see when I

come down all of you? You know, he didn't see that.

He said, forgive them, Father, for they know not what

they do even in death. I told my wife, I said,

I don't know how I'm gonna go home with to

be with the Lord. But I did know what I

want on my tombstone. And yeah, and and and you know,

we talk about it. We talk about it. In fact, yeah,

I guess, I guess I want a tombstone then, so yeah,

don't don't cremate me. Okay, this is just puts so

that people get other people can't visit and get inspired

even by my tombstone. God is looking for examples. Family. Okay,

let let's let's go. Let's go ahead, let's go on next,

like please. Families are looking for examples. And they because

a lot of people don't know how do marriage. They

don't know. There's no school of marriage, school of marriage.

Three years of school of marriage. Yeah, one foundation of course,

how to say, I like you to a girl, and

how to say I like you to a man. Foundation

and then as it goes on, wow, you come out

with a degree or a master's in marriage. No such thing.

Don't have a lot of people learn by child and error. Yes,

the people just say it more error. Sometimes I've been

married twenty nine years only and I tell you it's

not been easy. Hey, sometimes it's been good. Most times

it's been very good. But sometimes we wonder why we

got married. Can I be very honest with you? Hey, God,

asie if I was singlar, can do so much more?

Go more places, go for more days. Yeah, I think

to myself, you know, God, you know I'm celebrating my

train nine ndiver three, or celebrated my train on going

into my thirtieth. Wow, Lord, it's been. It's been you.

It's been You've been faithful thing about you know? How?

You know what's the toughest part about my marriage? I

be very honest with you, keep you transparent. My wife

is another version of kel Chine plus plus. So when

I go hope up there, I don't have wife. I

have senior minister, missions pastor and something that long for

a wife along And one day I actually told her,

I said, saying, can you be my wife today? See

I am? I said no, no, no, I don't know. May

you understand what I'm saying. But I've been thinking about

this a long time. And then we had a chat

and then she said, okay, what you want for dinner?

Also nice because usually I have to choose dinner. Yeah,

twenty nine years of marriage, I think about three seven

years put together, are the one who prepared dinner? And

uh and not prepared. I don't know how cool, but

it's like finding a pace to eat outside. We only

eat at home. Wow, I'm just telling you. I just

see a piece so open to you know, we twenty

nine years of marriage. We only eat at home I

think average five times a year. And for those five times,

it's making me because we're just so tired. One time

could be pizza all the all the rest of the time.

You know, I've got to find a place to take her,

feed her and pay the bill. So good, it's true.

So good, it's true. And then the day is I

go like saying, I miss having a wife. And so

that's the tough part. And on Sundays it's get up together.

As I said to you all, right. Last week I

was in Cyberjaya, she was in Clang. This week I'm here,

she's in Mony. Maybe next week we'll meet. But that's

why Mondate is so important to me. And a lot

of you go like, oh, past the whole you introduce Monday,

I say, I had no choice. Not I had no choice.

That's a choice. I said. I've got to make sure

that once a week I have a wife and she

has a husband. It's all just me and I'm not

she She probably alsos up fees that way. When I'm

sitting down now, especially for hours and hours writing my

thesis for my doctorate. Uh you know, I can be

in my room writing for eight hours and she just

she knows I'm doing this, and so she yeah, so

maybe she didn't have a husband for eight hours. Actually

I'm writing on Saturday. It's our day to be together,

to do things together. But so there's all of understanding,

but sometimes you just but what am I trying to say?

Families are looking for examples. Uh So, so we've got

to think about that, and we've got to ask God

for wisdom and make the best of whatever time you

have together. Make the best of whatever time you have together.

Remember your wife, remember your husband. They are your best friend.

You actually married your best friend. And talking about parents

so much to talk about parenting. It's a huge thing.

But is it just is it just your story or

are you you know? This is why I told passed

Jack last week cyber I said, Jack, do you know

why you have one? One child? The first child? He said, yeah, one?

But is it? But do you know why you have three?

Because God felt like one was not good enough for

you to model up that you can do it with

one child, so we give you two. And the rest

of the people in your church also some of them

have two children. But before the person can say Jack, oh,

yes one, I have two. Therefore he doesn't understand me,

he went and gave Jack two. You know, I see

life a bit differently these days. On the very job

you have is because God wants you to be an

example there, whether he gave it to you or didn't

give it to you. It's also example. How you respond

to a job rejection is also an example. Every Okay,

this is this what life is. And we can go

on to children. But I think we heard enough about that. Okay,

let's let's go on to the next one. Our young people,

including our young wookie adults, are also looking for examples,

ye are. And of course when you look at the scripture,

what does the scriptures say? Let no one despise your youth? Right,

I see I'm stopping so that I'm just waiting for

the next slight to come. Yes, thanks so much. Let

no one despise your youth. But be an example to

the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit.

Now this is this is for young people. And again

the writer is so he's so confident with young people

not being left out, but even they themselves can be example.

And I don't have the time to go through all

five with you that I think there are five things here,

But if you look at it, you realize why word

is number one, Why conduct is number two, Why in

love is number three. I studied it when I was

trying to talk to a girl of youth, you know,

maybe many many years ago now, and it all says,

do you know the word is the first thing that

gives your age away. You come in full suit, like

elder Terrans. Beautiful you look you look like a beautiful

man who just overcame COVID. Yeah, and he could look

he could look at certain age until he opens his mouth,

and then you go like, I think his traveler because

your word. No, young people always their word is good.

This is what we're So we could have young people

even in this room, who doesn't have to speak like

ordinary young people. They speak well. They speak caringly, lovingly, honorably, respectfully.

See by all the other things they just speak of. Well,

they are the ordinary teenagers. No, I'm not. When I

was fifteen, I gave my life to Jesus. When I

was seventeen, I heard from the Lord for the very

first time, very clearly. A man was wanting to jump

out of his hotel window in Holiday Inn. I was seventeen.

This man was from Philippines. He sang in the pubs.

His friend brought him because this man couldn't sleep for

two weeks, so by the second week he was a zombie, totally,

a zombie. Didn't sleep or two weeks. All he wants

to do is find a window, open it. And a friend,

by the grace of God, pulled him back about five

six times already. And so the end in my father's office,

and my father called my homes leader. My homes leader

at that time was probably in his sixties. I was seventeen.

The homes healer called me. Of all people are my

homes healer called me, you know, just two years old, Crescent.

Maybe you saw something and we adult see that. We

can see whether a young person is he's got a

special it's totally different. It's on fire for God. We

can see what we can see. And so he called me.

He says, Kenny calls me, Kenny, Kenny, your dad just

called me. And someone needs deliverance, needs to cast out

the demon from this man. Because he hasn't been sleeping

for two weeks. The devil must be disturbing his mind.

So I said, why in the word did my homes

leader call me? All right, he's got assistant leaders, he's

got the called me. Can I pick you up? I say, okay,

I put down the phone. At seventeen years old, I

got down on my knees. I said, Lord, I don't

know why I'm going and what I'm doing, but if

you have anything that I can offer, please tell me.

And the Lord dropped something in my spirit. He says something,

But you know, I didn't even know it was a lot.

He says, you know how he drops just so he

but the host diader can't pick me up. We went

to my father's office. When I walked in, I looked

at I took one look at this his Filipino band boy.

I took one look at his face and he looked

like the walking dat Now okay, two weeks mostly just

totally pale, and there's deadness in his eyes. He CAAI

look at you and not look at you a bit scary.

So we sat down around the table and my dad said,

for the last two hours of waiting, I've been giving

him all the scriptures. Hopefully he will step out. Brother Shiping,

brother Siping was our homestaler, brit Swiping, you take over.

So Brad Sieping says, brother and his minister wonderful, wonderful,

wonderful words, wow words, and all of us we would

have been encouraged, except his men. He's just like a zombie.

And Jesus loves you and died for your sins. In mind,

I want to die. I want to die. And so

we couldn't couldn't get through for an hour, and I

think to end it all nicely, we say, let's pray, right,

So before my father had anger sipping pray, I said, oh,

I tell you what I felt like a fly on

the wall. I fled. I felt like, you know, to

be seen not heard, seventeen years old? What can I do?

Two men, including the homes Leader, has a really spoken

preach the gospel really twice over, and then the Holy

Spirit just began to stir up within me. Seventeen you

stir up within me, Kenneth. I gave you something right

before you came speak up now, And so I said

that that was about to say suns about ready that, yes, son,

can I say something? Sure? I guess I was like, oh, yeah, yeah, Kenneth.

I didn't know he was hoping that I would say

something now, because he said to me later, I've always

seen you as a very extraordinary teen. I didn't think so,

but sometimes people can see it, as I say they

can see. And so I said, I asked a question.

I said, sir, how's your relationship with your father? I

didn't give any scripture, all the scriptures given a ready,

I just said, how's the relationship with your father? Within

thirty seconds, he burst into tears and he cried, could

answer me, could answer us? And then we went on

that road because we saw the Lord open that door,

and he didn't have a good father. Who when he

brought back seven a's still asks why no, eight a's

who just I mean? Maybe he had a father with high, high,

high expectations and would hit him for no reason. And

he had such a hatred for his dad. Right, and

now you tell him that God is your father, and

the only picture he has in his mind is a

bad father, and father equals cruel. And then we said

your father, no matter what happened, God is not like that.

The ministry went on for about half an hour, but

straight to the heart of who father God really is.

He's a million times better than your dad, maybe a

billion times cannot be counted. He's too good. He gave

his only big God in the son. Then you start

ministreaming with all the other scriptures. Now you can't entered

because there was a door that was always close, shut

so tight. Now as he opens, the scripture makes sense.

And the guy got back to the hotel those days,

no handful. No guy got back to the hotel and said,

caught my father and said, Mike, I want to tell you.

As soon as we got into the taxi, this man

who didn't sleep for two weeks. Slept like a baby

all the way to the hotel and he still sleep picked.

I had to wake him up getting back to the

hotel room, and he continues sleeping. I think he was

making up for two weeks, and he chose to live.

He said, I want to tell you that God can

use any one of us, and maybe just for that

last five minutes is for the teen, say, because our

teens are very special to us, and I know that

you just don't come to a place where you're hearing

the lie of the enemy. That it can be possible.

It's possible, all right, So word, word, word, because word

usually is the first thing that gives your age away.

And then the conduct, and then love. Love, Why love?

Because love always thinks about other people, but teenagers always

think about themselves if they are not in the lot.

Oh dad, why so long? Man, I'll go back. It's

always them, mom, Why it's always demon so long? Why

now hungry? They don't hardly think about other people. I'm

not talking about youth, are youth, but youth in general.

And so that's why he says, can you young people

be an example in love? Cannot Actually, it's quite impossible

with young people because selfishness is is the name of

the game. But we can with Christ, we can. Amen. Amen,

all right. You know, I was thinking about young young

adults who are looking for relationship, and I know it's hard.

You know, it's a hard game. All of us are doubts.

They have been, Trila, I guess all of us have been.

How do you tell a girl you like her when

you like her? Oh, I've been praying for you, oh

the Christian way, sister, Sister. I just want to let

you know, sister, don't don't, yeah, don't take it any

other way. I just want to let you know I've

been praying for you. Pray for what. I just take

it as that life for now, and then you can

pray and ask a lort what that means. So I

like busses Andra. I didn't like any other girl. Buzza's

my first girlfriend and my wife. And so I looked

at her one day. She was worship beating Wow, just wow.

Love for the Lord was just so uh, you know,

so drawing to me, and I said, wow, God, if

I could have someone like her. And I went back

home and I prayed about it, said, Lord, Sandra looks

pretty good. And then then he said, then, then prayer,

remember the first six months of prayer. Lord, if it

is your will, let me be done. Lord, if it

is your will, let me be done. One day after

six months that the road says, but do you like her? Not?

I said, yes, I like her. Okay, let's start with

that first. Okay, let's start with that, because I would

not force you to like anybody if he's not okay.

So then the Lord told me put her on the altar.

Put it on the altar. So I put her on

the altar. And when you put thank you so much, pingle,

and when you put living in sacrifices on the altar,

they move. So she moved because there were so many

guys after her past was likely quite a good looking person.

And so all the guys in uh in church, you know,

I either liked her or you know whatever. Okay, And

of course God gave her the best.

But the thing is, yeah, just in passing, Yeah, okay,

God remember the poorla and often you know.

Okay, So yeah, pray, pray. A lot of the guys

who come to tell me, but pass Kenneth, how do

you do it? Or something? Just friends, Kenneth, how do

you do it with era, I said, I prayed, train

a half years Ha, why are you so silly? Silly?

What you mean silly? You like this tella? Then how

if they say I don't like then get hurt for

a few months. Now I know, get hurt for a

few months. Cannot reject it, Nola, I said, I prayed,

I pray. I think young adults are looking for examples

how to do it better. Because it's I like you,

you like me or not? It's for ages, no long time,

any week. You I think you should try, try to

change change a Libela ask my friend to ask I

have a friend. I have a friend that you don't

know about. Yes, and he or she has some interest

in you. You gotta not know, Okay, why why do

the process? You know? Because they don't know what you're

talking about? It could be stricked, you know, and uh

and so they want to know. So I'm gonna ask

you right now in this room, how many young adults

here who are not hooked up yet will say, in

your heart, pastor, I choose to be an example. I

don't want to just go on with a relationship just

like all my other friends in college. Why why go

and choose all these cheap skate yo. Did I just

say that all this strategy alone, even female dog and

neil dogs are doing that, you know, of course with

some extra stuff. But you know yeah, no, you're know

a dastpin. Don't just take in order rubbish. Find a

better way train a half years wh way long way

and then when the trailer half is finished, I said, Lord,

is it time now? He said, yes, tell her you

can tell her now, finish my degree treating my law degree,

can tell her now, can tell her how to tell her.

I pray for you. I wrote her letter because I

never ever told a girl I like her before. I

never Wow, I tell you it, stressfool, stressful. So I

wrote her letter. I asked God for confirmation to give

her the letter. I said, Lord, if this happens, this happens,

this happens, I will give her the letter. All happened,

but I couldn't give the letter so scared. No, I

tell you seriously, I don't know why. Maybe it was

the other guys that you dream on like dream on

you want Sandra, you dream on lah? Yeah, I should

have told him that I'm a dreamer. No, So I

think young Oki doubts that depends what they need. Help

la right navigating some of these things. You know, yeah,

let's move on because of time, man, let's move on.

Although I've got to tell you something else that is

very passionate to me. Can't tell you study is very

very passionate to me. So I got married three nine

years ago. I only get married once. You know, huh

once we can do renewer marriage vous Kenna, but once

to me. So you know why God gives you a

wedding so that you can be an example. Everything he

gives you is, for example, and everything one child for example,

two for example, three for example, five for example, eleven,

start football team. You know why you give you the car,

the house, why, everything? So that you can show another

man how it's done, show another woman how is that?

People are looking for inspiration or so wedding My wife

and I he said, you need one wedding. We need

you know, most of the time people come leave for

wedding one hours are I want a message because I

got it only one wedding. I want to put on

the car seven pm shot. Usually when you stick wedding

cars that you don't see shop one because he's not

so nice man, right, I put shop, and then we

decided that if Malaysia was ever going to change the attitude,

what's attitude? If they say six seven thirty. I know

you're laughing because you also think like that. Sometimes stop

better stop a ready, otherwise Malaysia will never change. How

we pray are doing an election time? Oh Lord, take

a weak corruption, and then we give money to policemen

when the stop us. But we pray, Oh God, give

us a government that's not corrupted, and then we pay

the policeman when they stop us. Hello, how are what

gonna answer your prayer? Gotta start somewhere right, want to

be early, be early here all but people still criminate

to church? How are your children gonna change? You ask

your children twenty years from now why you only to

church on my father's name? I said, you never called him.

It's got to start somewhere. So seven pm Sharma, six

fifteen nine, My wife and I was at the front

door waiting to march in. She's holding my head, I'm

holding her hand as is Hendra. People are gonna hate

us for this. But if you're gonna change Malaysia, gonna

start with our wedding. My elders, my elders, who are

usually early arrive at seven sharp. They were so shocked

because they've never however, you have ever been to any

wedding shop. Come on your hands. No, of course, no,

of course no, because we are all creatures of habit.

A whole group of boys from DVFC came late for

the lunch that I organized for them. One or two

boys came late, as late as one hour. I turned

to my coach, I said, I haven't heard you taking

anyone of them to tasks. What's going on? He said, oh, Pasta,

you gotta you know this cultury culture a day from

the B forty group, they don't understand. I said, brother,

I don't exist to just give them football. I exist

to give them a future. Football come and go, but attitude.

Do you know why B forty remains B forty because

of this? B forty means below forty, meaning the forty

percent of the poor, forty percent of the poorest in

the nation. It's called B forty just in case you

don't understand that. And you know why they remain poor

because there's no adults who say I told you twelve,

why you come at one? You will not play for

this team this year. You must be tough. We already

send two boys, two Malai boys back to school now

because at school to wonder me, Daly played true and

not for one and a half years now. But after

this boy went back to school, pengo, you know him

form five, he's doing from five. Now we are here

to give him a future, not just football. How long

can your football last? Future attitude? After the brother has

gone back to school, his sister I just heard eleven

years old. Eleven years old has never been to school.

Eleven is already. But so the brother go back to

school now, wants to go back to school, send young

people back to school and give them a future and

a hope. This is what extras does. This is what

ya does. But listen, example example, where is it so

no one in this room can answer about being early

for your own wedding? Was so as Yeah, passionate right,

I know it's going to be quiet. When are you

going to start making such a difference in your life

that your young people can say, I'm inspired by Uncle

Soy and so I'm inspired by Auntie Soy and so?

When or is it just about money? This is it

just about golf? This is just about gardening. Hello, there's

more to life. I've started a new church in good

community at fifty two. Who does that? We do that

because the Lord says can be done, So you do it,

and then other people at fifty cannot now have an

excuse because someone did it. All you need is one.

Some ladies know in the Chinese world will say, oh la,

men must definitely play a fool outside. This is a

statement that the Chinese will say, if you are a man,

for sure you will be able to for sure you

will play a fool with other women outside. Whose word

is that? No, there's not my word, There's not God's word.

There is the world's word. So you want to be

able to say, what kind of man do you want

to be? Help your son understand it, help your nephew

understand what kind of man. With God's grace, we can

do it. Amen. So I'm standing there with my wife.

I tell you I was so a diamon elder terrans.

I don't know better. It is a good example of

my father said his son son, sixty percent of the

tables are not full. Sixty percent of the tables are

not full. I said, Dad, I have a message. You

got to you gotta give this to me. This is

my wedding. I already have one. I might be the

only one in Malaya who's early for his wedding. My

wife and I thank god I have a wife. Never,

let's do it, how mad? I was Okay, do you

adviser anto A ever come? I told her the seven

pm sharp word. If Auntie can't even come for her

niece's wedding, sharper, what else she doing? I was side there.

That's why they also do outside because simple thing wedding.

M hmm. See how passionate. I'm not scolding anybody. No,

are you still with me? With me? No? WHOA your life?

One life to live? Be an example? A. So here

we are about to work. You know they were on

time seven seven pm sharp, my eldest, but still say

sorry because when you're early, it's good. Right, when you're

on time, you're late. We say, ok So there, my

wife and I walk right Ola, Yeah, comes the bride here? Okay,

so we're walking in. Oh we look at all the

tables so empty. Wow, I think my heart would beating

fast door, Like, did I make a mistake? Empty family members, auntie, uncles,

empty by the time some people came. I was one

hour late. We had to put food on plates by

side because we were ready. The fifth dish, Thank God,

the umpow was put outside. Halleljah, Praise God. Amen. Don't

collect power inside, collect outside. Don't let him see anything

on his side first Hallelujah. Tie tonguslang God, dredging. There

was where I had my wedding. Continue every time. Don't settle,

don't settle. I never mind lie. You know that word

never mind, not taking Throw it out of your vocabulary.

Use it only when you're showing mercy to people showing compassion,

and then say he spilled the miller never mind. At

all other times, I don't say never never mind. I

don't you study never mind us? So what? My mother agreed, No,

it's never mind us so what? No, No, my husband

is no, no no. We use never mind the right time, Yeah,

for mercy, for compassion. At all other times. In terms

of your destiny, don't say never mind. I cannot am

supposed to be this and this and this and this

and this and this. I never mind. I just one.

I just choose one. Law and God says cannes Chine.

You are a man of five talents. Why do you

settle for one and I hide four in the ground

worse than the men who won money. Everybody, okay, all right,

I know marketplace is looking for examples. There's the next right, yeah,

the marketplace. You know, ladies German And you know why

Jesus said forgive them, for they know not what they do. Actually,

the marketplace without Jesus no know what to do with.

They learned MBA, they learned PhD, get the damage. They

learn the ways of the world. I have a contractor

that works on my house. He's a little bit upset

with Christians because the way we pay. One time he

complained to Ken Young because it was one of our

church members. I mean, they shouldn't be sharing with us

because it's private stuff. A lot of people are doing stuff.

But in a way, I also I'm glad because I

really don't want anyone in Exegia to not pay when

they should be paying. If you have the money, piece

pay no money, don't do your renovation. So I pay

even without the contract asking, because I said, I said

to him, his name is Ken Ken you know me.

I live by faith. But when I have money, you

have it. When I don't have, you don't have it.

So he told Elder Kenyng there because have to share

with him. I say, hey, you're boss, way different now.

I didn't ask him for the money, so you give

me no because I know the whole project is two

hundred thousand. I only pay him hundred. Of course I

have to keep paying one. Why you have to ask

people no? So at a lot of times they teach

you outside in the world delay it's all about cash

flow delay. It's all about cash flow delay. Yeah. I

want to say to you, don't delay because all by

your witness, don't delay because of your testimony. Don't delay

because you suppose we example. No, this guy has done

so many Christian houses. Yea, but I still don't want

to be Christian because there are more examples of Christian.

Don't pay him, and I feel very embarrassed. Thank God. Actually,

out of the few names he's complained about, only one

is in our church. Because I tell you what, I

just want to make sure that we are discipling people to,

even in the marketplace, do it in the way that

pleases God. I also don't owe anybody anything. The Bible says,

don't owe anybody anything if it belongs to them, pay

them maybe okay, Yeah, marketplace is looking for examples. The

church is looking for examples because so many churches are

falling around the world's leadership problems and all that. So

we're all looking for examples. How can you be a

leader that's integris faithful. Yeah, very very important. I can

go on and on, but my time is up. The

nation is looking for examples the nation. Don't just pray.

Become an example is very very important. Last time, there

was one time a li Hua being adapted. Lijuabing was

the state Assemblyman of subang Jaya and Christian, and he

witnessed to people here in Summit, and he was trying

to witness to a to a boss here at that time.

That group made group a boss who was not a Christian.

And liuah Bing goes to him and says, I know

a pastor called Kenachin who uses submit for his church.

I want you to meet him one day. So Leo

Abing said to me, Kenneth passed, Kenneth, you have time

to meet with the senior man of Summit. I just

told him about you. I said, what do you tell him?

I said, I told him there is a pastor here

who has a church in Summit, and he is a man,

the only man I know who does whatever God tells him.

That became my testimony here from the mouth of a

status every man to the ears of a man who

is the top guy here. And all he could summarize

about me is this is a man who does anything

and everything God tells him. So I met him. I'm

not sure that he has come to know the Lord.

But nation and leaders are looking for example. Everybody. Okay, yeah,

our mission. Let's draw towards the last lab, the last

closure of this message, the last you know gear. I'm

moving up to the last gear. And our mission purpose

in life is to be examples. All of you know

that as soon as our eyes are open in the

morning till our eyes are close at night, we have

the opportunity or the opportunities to make a real difference

just by being examples to the people around us and

after us. As a mission needs a vision, so examples

need an example. Do you understand that a mission, every

mission needs a vision and every example needs an example. Okay,

So Jesus came to the earth to be God's example

to the world. Amen, Let's look at the scripture John fourteen.

I summarize for you. It's just this. Jesus said to

his disciples, if you have seen me, you have seen

the Father. Wow. How confident is that? Because Jesus was said,

because none of us could see the Father, he's up

invisible God. But when he came, Jesus came, he was

not invisible. He was visible. And everything he did he

did after the Father. He says, if you see me,

you see the Father. I love it. If you want

to know the Father, see Jesus. Read about Jesus, Read

about what he's done. So our vision, an example is

Jesus the author and the finisher of our faith. Everybody, okay, amen,

acts subang Then the day you don't have to remain

so quiet. Tell me that you're still alive. Hey, man,

you know some pace they use. It was the phrase

they use, tell me that you are still a life

without telling me that you're still a life. Okay. Jesus

is our compass, our true north. You know, in Christianity,

seldom God gives you a map, but he often gives

us a compass. All of us want a map, Oh,

exactly where to go? He didn't give Abraham a map.

He gave Abraham a compass, and it was called faith.

And wherever Faith pointed, Abraham went. How to love my wife,

how to forgive him my husband, How to bring up

my first child, how to bring up my second? Jesus,

teach me learn that from books. Go study. No no, no,

no no. Lord, there's a lot of books out there.

Too much, too much opinion, too much voice, too many voices.

I just Lord, show me, Lord, show me how to

do church, how to be a boss, a good supervisor.

No map, but compass. There will be many voices, many opinions,

many many, too many, too many. Everybody wants to have

an opinion. How you bring up your child? Focus on

Jesus and walk a straight line towards him. This is

where I'm going to do the illustration, and I'm going

to close. Remember Peter walking on water. Why because Peter

was walking on water. So if you go like Pasta,

I will never walk on water. But everyone here in

this room have your own water. You walk on. When

I was walking into my wedding at seven pm sharp,

I was walking on and the tables that were empty

were like the storm that Peter got his eyes on storm,

and then he sank, and a lot of us sometimes

don't go all the way with what God has called

us to because we keep looking at other people, other things.

Other challenges are storms. Don't just keep your eyes on

Jesus and you won't sink. And even if you sink,

you know the Lord will catch you. Where all examples

in our own ways says the next slighte. Whether we

know it or not, whether we like it or not.

You know, when you come in late to church, you're

idi an example. You know, you know how you become

a stronger example when you walk into church late every Sunday. Yeah, yeah,

you strengthen. You strengthen once of all all the young

people here to see all like that. One now and

then somebody will whisper, or don't worry. He's a business man.

He makes a lot of money, so he gives to church.

So then they will learn. As long as you're rich,

you can come late. That's not what you want to

leave as a legacy. We are either examples that it

can be done or that it can't be done. Every

day as long as we have life, live as examples

in everything and that every time until God calls us home,

is there any one Ben, could you do me a favorite, brother, Ben,

could you stand up? Uh, and then come in front

of the camera so that you're not you're not hidden. Uh.

And and I think I chose you, brother bend because

you're aware your hand is white. No. No, you're here in

the middle of the middle, right in the middle, in

front of the Yeah. Okay, okay, right in the middle,

and go back a little bit after Rebecca after Becky. Okay, okay,

I hear you. Look at me, Look at me, brother,

you have white hair. You will be like Jesus to

me today. You will be like Jesus to me. Okay,

lift up your hand on your your your wanting to

welcome me home? Okay, yeah, yeah. Can you imagine Jesus

he has his hands up like that. He's trying to

welcome all of you home. No one day. How cool

is that you actually have a Do you know that

Christianity is not just a religion, it's a relationship, it's

a person. Almost almost every other religion, you don't have

someone to look at to walk to. You just have

a book or whatever it is that we don't even

have to have a book. After a while, it's not

even a book, not although we have the Bible, we

are looking at a person. And that's what many religions

don't have. A person who's still alive, not in the grave,

alive and waiting for you to come through the purlygates.

And there is really you know, Jesus. You are your

hands up, Jesus with an extra tie organized. Okay, okay, okay,

this is life. This is life. As I illustrate a

close I just want this illustration to stick in your mind. Okay,

I am supposed to better remainer. You are my Jesus.

Don't go anywhere, stay still. I never thought Jesus to

stay still low. I thought it was there up. Okay,

say stilla the whole time, the whole time. Okay, because

I'm supposed to. I'm like Peter. I'm walking on the

water to you, all right. That's where all my testimonies

are ahead of me. Okay, testimonist that ah, I'm testimonists.

I have to come and I'm walking towards you. My

end goal is you, Jesus.

My end goal. Okay. Now when you start, you're like

this empty space. You're a child, your baby, you eat

sleep and SHEI okay, and so not many decisions, and

then suddenly you enter life and you begin to make

your decisions. And as soon as you start making decisions,

that's when life really starts. Okay, this is how it happens. Right,

You're a teenager and you start having interest in the

opposite sex and it's a girlfriend boyfriend constitution. But you know,

I've been to church, ex church, my parents go to church.

And then suddenly you saw a really fine girl and

you decided that maybe, just maybe it's just sparked for

a while, because Jesus can wait one right, waited so

long a day, you said you come back soon, but

still not so soon. Now, yeah, so I what's your name? Ali? Hi?

Nice meeting you, I tell you a little bit shy.

And then suddenly, while this road, the narrow road that

leads to life, becomes a wider road because now this

relationship doesn't work, and you go to the next one

with me. Suddenly life has become a girlfriend finding mission.

And for some years you're not even on the road

leading to life. You're just hanging out in this wider road.

This is the narrow road, this is the wide road,

and you get stuck because oh, that girl looks really good.

Although her dad is here. Sorrya illustrative purposes. Okay, Now

he could be a girl and found a really good

looking guy. You know, wow your biceps while you have

biceps over your biceps. Wow. Okay, it doesn't work out.

Hurt And he said if going back to Jesus, you

hurt my Oh lord, why do you allow this? He

did allow you went. You were supposed to look at

him and go so no, you go to Maybe you

want something more spiritual? Now you know what I'm trying

to say. And for don't know how many years you're

going to be hanging out the side, right, you have

a choice to go like just the one, play along.

This is the one instead of going into the wider road.

Come with me. I'm walking towards him. You understand you

don't waste time law, bring along la. That's why you

have to bring a long lop person who has the

same faith. You know what. I've known a ssue as

a baby. That's how I can do that work. Okay,

thank you so much. Happy birthday? All right? What's it

going to be next? A job? Hey? Boss? I really

want this job? Can you give me this job? Please?

What work on Sunday? Can I guess, I guess because

pays so well, and you keep going in. And then

you got you got me from a staff to become supervisor,

and now I have to supervise people who walking on

Sunday can can go to church? Are yours? Do me?

And so I spend my whole time here for a while,

but broken up. And then now it's doubling. And then

after that this is what is? What is? Uh is marriage?

Maybe you know how many people are on fire for

God before their marriage? After marriage? Where is here? He

gone in? Gone is somewhere out of the wilderness, right wife?

Then it's what else? Promotion? And then it's kids. Another

guy that I've seen sech a baby, first kid. Ah

canna serve godla because my first kids up? My second

kid needs me. I would hug you right that? Okay,

my second, my third kid or that. Now now you

are totally drowned with kids. But you used to be

a good singer, used to be a good guitarist, used

to be a good picture. Where you now? But you

don't understand past My kids need me? No, no, no, no, hey, kid,

follow the day that is serving the lot? Okay, follow me? No,

I'm not asking to give up follow come, come, come

my Donald's at night and I end up at church

for press service. But but you gotta be okay, you

won't die one you won't die eating one more French

friesla Okay. I'm not saying that we must eat first

food every every night. No, no, no, there's there's a balance,

like how you know me and pass and on Sunday

we can't be together, but Monday I try to make

up for make up with you with me. But we

as long as we're going. And then you know, he

gets married, and then I become a father in law

and I now have to you know, he has a child,

and I become a grandfather, right, and I now go

into grandfather grandpa more. And now the gardening, you know,

Jesus is so so every my didn't talk, No, he

didn't talk with me. And then you go there and

there's business and then it's you know, I don't know

contracts and we don't end up there. But what the

beautiful thing about this is, guys, you can take these

along with you. I'm doing my doctorate now, hours and hours,

but you know, when I'm spending time the day I

was talking to doctor Lazarus because he's helping me with

the theseas. I met him now eight times, and every

time before we meet, we pray because I want to

make sure that God is with me and I am

with God. So I bring the thesis into this way

instead of being lost in the academic world. Some people

have been, oh, sorry, are doing my master's I can't

serve the lot. You lost the point of what life

is really about. Brother, thank you so much. Can't give

him a big, big head. Yeah, I hope that when

I arrived there with you, brother Ben, you would have said,

well done, my good and faithful servant. And I will

come before you like I would come before Jesus says,

Can I introduce to you my wife. We walk together

on this road leading to you. My three children. They're

all serving you because and this is my PhD. This

is my business. Lord, this is my lord. And you

see a big smile on Father's face right in the end, Father,

in the name of Jesus, My time has been up

like fifteen minutes ago. I know it, but I just

want to make sure that I leave with these precious people,

not just a word, but a visual, a visual that

they can see that they will know no matter what,

no matter what next year brings. Some of you are

considering different things. Maybe one or two of you here

are considering retirement. It's not the retirement, it's what will

you do with the retirement that will make you an

example of a person retired well for the Lord. It's

not about the retirement. It's not even about the job.

It's about what would you do with that job to

glorify God. It's not about the pay rise. It's what

would you do with that pay rise. It's not about

that bonus. It's not better you will get your visa,

a proof to migrate to Australia. It's what would you

do in Australia. How would you be the example in Australia?

Or are you just gonna melt into the Australian culture

and be oblivion, totally useless. So, Barz, you're so strong

a your word? Go there. I still go to church

for every Sunday? But is it all? Is that all?

Going to church every Sunday? Is that your destiny? Is

that all that God made you to become a church goer,

a seat warmer? Or is there something more that God

painstakingly made you, fearfully and wonderfully informed you in your mind.

This womb for what for a destiny gave birth to you?

When there are thousands of children dying every day out

of abortion, dying because of war, thousands and thousands dying

in Gaza dying. But you are alive? Why? Why? Because

you have a God who kept you alive, who loves you,

saved you for such a time as this. Is it

just your bank account that you want to populate? And

every week you look at your bank account. Who look,

it's one more zero, one more zero? What more? Is

that all you live for? Or is it? Are you living? Parents?

Are you living for your children? And the best gift

you can give them this example, The best give you

can give your son, your daughter is the marriage that

you have be an example in that marriage. I know

it's a high call. I myself and speaking with fear

and trembling because I know I too will find it

very hard to even keep up. But it's not about

keeping up. It's about keeping hot on fire. And as

long as you are continually on fire for God, you

will be able to do it. Don't just keep up.

Too many people keep up and then they fail. Keep up.

Keep up is not the goal. Keep hot on fire

for God is the goal. Love Jesus with all your heart, mind,

soul and strength. Make him your first love every time,

every day, wherever you are. It doesn't matter. It matters

that use everything that God has given you to become

an example and an inspiration for others to go. If

he can do it, I can too. If she can,

I can too. If pastor can I can do. If

my mom can, I can too. If my dad can,

I can too, If my grandpa can, even at seventy five,

what is my excuse. I have no excuse. I only

have examples to follow. Oh, come on, people, leave a

great legacy, even as young as if you're only fifteen.

Now you know sixteen. Don't worry about your age. You

can be an example to a twelve year old or

even to your friends. You don't have to settle for

second best. Don't have to settle for the norm. Father,

in the name of Jesus, why don't you stand to

your feet if you can, and everybody just join me

in worship. As we worship, we surrender our lives. Worship

is not just about singing It's about obedience. Worship is

about surrendering our lives to the Lord. Worship is not

about what comes out of your mouth alone, is what

is in your heart. Why don't you offer your lives

as a living sacrifice. Why do you do that? Right now?

God can turn water into wine. Some of you are

listening to me and you're having regret. That's why it

was so quiet. It was so quiet moment in this

place because you're saying, Pastor, I wish I had you

as my pastor when I was a young person. But Pastor, really,

my own wedding, you might say, was late by two hours. Pastor,

I feel so embarrassed now when you're talking. No, no, no, don't.

The goal of this message is not to make you embarrassed,

not to bring condemnation, no no, no, no no. This

message is to encourage you. Yes, we cannot change our past,

but we have a future. Jesus came to give us

a future and a hope. Young people here, you have

the best life right because you can listen to this

early and make a choice to make a difference. Older

people here, I know you know, Pasta. I'm ready sixty

plus seventy plus, hey, hey, we are looking at our

seventy plus for example. I have not been there yet,

so you are there already showed me how he's done. Brother,

show me how is done. Sister. You can. If the

fire of God is on you, you will be such

an example at your age. Don't wish that you another age.

Please stop wishing. Oh I wish I was younger. No,

just be yourself. Be who you are, be your age,

but be an example.

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

information on our church, please visit as church org. We

are also active on Facebook and Instagram. We're believing that

this week is going to be a good week, a

hit for you.

God bless
