PLAN - POTHOLE - PATCH UP - PURPOSE | Pr Kenneth Chin

You're listening to a message to go from acts church. We hope this message

will light up your day. Plan pothole patch up and purpose, Plan,

pothole patch up and purpose. The question beneath those words is this, did

you know that you're part of a great plan? Turn your neighbor and asked,

did you know that you're part of a great plan? Did you know?

Did you know God to love the world? All right, let me

start by telling you a story I heard many years ago. There was a

plan, a great plan to build a cathedral many many centuries ago, somewhere

in Europe. And they wanted to do this to give God glory and to

draw many people to the love of Jesus. And so they got the construction

workers to come in and they started to work. One day, as they

were working on the land, tilling it and making holes in it and breaking

up the fallow ground and you know, getting the bricks and you know,

whatever it is that they needed, a person walked by and asked one of

the two workers that he saw. He asked one worker, what are you

doing? And that's the question I would like to put up on the screen.

What are you doing with your life, with your talents, with your

calling, with your strength, with your money, with your wisdom? What

are you doing? And so one person was asked, as he was digging

a hole, what are you doing? This one said, I'm digging a

hole. Can't you see I'm digging a hole? He says, oh,

okay, sorry to bother you. He turns to the other person and asks,

how about you? What are you doing? And this other person says,

I am helping to build the biggest cathedral in Europe. I think you've

heard of this story before. I want to remind you if you've heard of

it, but it's a very powerful thought about purpose. Two persons doing the

same thing on the same piece of land next to each other, have got

two different responses. One just thinks he's building a hole, and another believes

he's building the biggest cathedral in Europe. If I asked you a question,

I hope that you won't just answer me that I'm just attending church. I

just came to support my friend. I just came because I had nothing else

to do. I just came because actually I thought this was the cinema.

And you know, one person walked in yesterday when we're having a meeting outside,

and I think she thought this was one of the entrants with the cinema,

so she came in and she walked out. I hope that all of

you can say, like what this next slide will show you. I want

all of you to be able to say this, and this is the reason

for this message. When people ask you, you can say, I'm part

of a great plan. I'm part of a great plan. Every time I

come on a Sunday, every time I'm praying, I'm praising, I'm giving,

I'm inviting a friend, every time I came for a prayer service,

every time I go to homes, I'm part of a come on great plan,

God's plan to see his kingdom come and his will be done on earth

as it is in heaven. I pray that you are continue and carry on

to say I'm helping to fulfill a great vision to fill the earth. Haber

two fourteen says, and the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the

glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea. I hope that

you that you can say that and to subdue it or to bring it under

dominion, which is what Genesis one eight says to us. I hope there

when somebody ask you, by the time church is finished today that you can

say, I'm helping to build a great movement, a discipleshing movement through church

planting. That's why we plant churches, because we are raising disciples, and

we do it through small groups. And that's why we're also moving to a

smaller place, because the Lord told us some years ago at church, I

want you to grow small, to grow big, grow small to I want

to give you some scripture now before I move on from the words of Jesus

teaching us how to pray in Matthew chapter six, verse nine to thirteen.

He mentioned some words there that tells me how important this is to him and

to the Father. Jesus taught us in this manner. Therefore, pray our

Father in heaven, Hallod be your name, your Kingdom. Come. Your

will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day

our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil

one. For yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and

ever. And I highlight to you today as I've done in the month of

February that the prayer that Jesus taught us how to pray is your Kingdom Come.

Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. So it's

obvious that Jesus, who's teaching us to pray this daily, has in his

mind and in his heart the importance of continuing in this great plan that God

has that his kingdom in heaven will come down and rule on earth. And

the way he does it is through you and me. Turn to your neighbor

and say, I'm part of a great plan, God's plan. Heaven is

a beautiful place, you know. Actually, I can't wait to be there.

I've had this conversation with God. I said, God, I know

that all of us have to die once and then after that the Bible says

the judgment. So after we die, we will stand before God and we

will have to give account of how we lived our lives, all that He

has given us. The money God, how I spent it, the ideas

God, how I used it, The health, good health, How I've

used his health to you, maybe your husband, your wife, How I've

been able to use my marriage to please God. He's gonna ask you how

you have treated your children, and if you are a child, he's gonna

ask you how you treated your parents. It's very very important, is to

me. It's a very fearful thing, actually scary to come before this amazing,

awesome God who created the heavens and created the earth is going to be

quite scary, actually, But because he loves us, and those of us

who have tasted his love don't have to be scared. But we have to

be ready. And I know I'm in my fifties now, but I'm already

preparing myself because life and death, especially death can hit you anytime, and

we must not be afraid of it. We must not be afraid because Jesus

has come to give us life and lie more abundantly, and even after life,

he has given us eternal life. Somebody say, amen, Jesus has

done that for us, and our faith and our trust is in him and

in all their days. You know, I've gotten quite sick before. There

was one time I had ana felixis. Ana felexis is an extreme uh condition

of allergy, is an allergy attack that could cause death within minutes. And

so I don't know what I ate. I had allergies before, but this

allergy was so bad. You know, my whole side on my face here

or my neck here was just all red. And I was scratching, you

know, I wanted to get and then he went from this a small thing

to all the witw on to the bottom of my neck and went, whoa,

what's this? You know? And my wife saw it, and she

was she was quite alarmed. She was about to ask me, but you

know, I was washing plates after dinner and I went upstairs and I started

not being able to breathe well. And so my wife was on the phone

with doctor Jill, and doctor Jill said, you know, it's okay.

Just give him antihistamin should be okay. And of course doctor Jill added,

and I think it was God's wisdom. But if he has breathing difficulties pasta,

please send him to the clinic a sap. And as Sandra was on

the phone, came into the room and said, dear. Then I said

to her, I think I got to go to cleanic uh. And she

said, okay, Jill, I got to go. So we went into

the car. I was just struggling into the car. I was so weak

by then, and my wife said, oh, wish cleaning, do you

want to go to I said, you know, the Lord told me,

don't go to cleanic, go straight to the emergency. And I went to

the emergency. By the time I reached the emergency, my wife thought she

was just parked by the side and wait for me because there was no parking

in this hospital nearby by house. And so I was struggling to get there

and I was almost going to pass out. And the nurse U came or

no in malay, are you okay? So brought me to sit down to

take my you know, all the the vital you know, blood pressure and

all the stuff. And I couldn't even and she said, well, the

blood pressure is high, the beep of the heart rate was high, you

know, because and I thought I was gonna faint in front of her.

And then she looked at me and she was like, wow. You know,

nurses sometimes quite assuring means all terrible. And I go like, yeah,

I feel that too. And I didn't think that I was gonna be

able to get up from my seat, and then she she knew that she

had to hold me, and then she brought me and I thought to myself,

just a few more steps, I'm gone. That's how bad. I

couldn't breathe. Okay, it's terrible. And then I slum onto the seat

and I thought to myself, you know, you're in the kind of condition

whereby just do whatever you want to do with mela. You know, you

want to put a needer on my forehead, but you know, because you

just totally you're you're deadery by then, actually, okay, sir, sir,

can you please put your head sir? And then only when the doctor

goes all because I can't even open my eyes, so he then he lives

up my eyelid and then he says, he shouts to all and says this

is very serious and all and started moving and it'll give him two thousand one

last CEC. No what I thought it was like two thousand. Uh.

And then yeah, I was sort of calmed down and feeling better within an

hour and a half. And uh, the doctor said, we need you

to stay the night in the hospital because we've got a lot of checks.

I said, no, I don't want to think. I feel better,

you know, And when I went home, my whole body from I think

face to two feet were covered with marks of allergy, just every part of

my body. I think if I took a picture of that, of that,

you know, I you know, I would have scared myself every time

I looked at it. Uh So you know, of course, I also

think that the enemy had a hand in it. And uh some of us

in this room maybe have been close to death before. Death is very real

and we will see God one all of us. Some die younger, some

die older. We must not be afraid even of talking about death. Be

prepared. And so I must tell you I'm at the place whereby I'm sort

of prepared. There's a piece when I think about going home to be with

the Lord, there's a peace and I say, Lord whatever, but God

will keep me alive if I still have a purpose to fulfill on the earth.

So think about purpose for a moment now. Purpose is very important.

In fact, that was my message for revl Is Kanda that night. Purpose.

When you and I find our purpose, that is the happiest day.

Someone said before there are two important days in your life. One is the

day you were born and the other is the day you find out why.

And purpose is powerful and I feel like once you find the purpose for your

life, you are free. Really, you are liberated. And I want

all of you in this room to, if you haven't found your purpose yet,

to find it in God, because I tell you the freedom that you

have when you know and you know why you are alive, why you're still

reading, and why you are here. There is a purpose. There is

a God who is in control, who orchestrates, and who makes things happen.

Not by accident, somebody say, amen, but by divine appointment,

your kingdom come, your will be done. So you know, I want

to be able to stand before God and say, Lord, I've lived for

you and I have fulfilled your purpose. Now let's look at Genesis one twenty

six to twenty eight. Then let's continue to look at purpose. Couse,

you look at plan, the plan of God, the purpose of our lives.

God said in the first book of the Bible, Genesis, chapter one

the US book, and the first chapter of that book already lines up our

purpose in life. God said, this is God's plan, and this is

our purpose. Somebody say, God's plan our purpose. God's plan our purpose.

So this is God's plan and our purpose is found in his plan.

Let us make men in our image. God made man in his own image.

That's why there is no other creation like men, the dog, the

cat. No, you can love it very much, so you think your

pet is a human the way you treat I went to Australia and their people

who treat their pets better than they treat their children. Yeah. Serious,

but the pets will never be humans no matter how much you have studied.

You know, kissing the frog and becoming a prince. Sorry, it won't

happen. Okay, maybe if you kiss the prince become a frog. Maybe

you know because the prince was always a frog inside. We are a very

special creation. There is nothing like us. We are made in God's image

and there's a reason for it. Let me keep reading according to our likeness.

So we are like God. So when we feel angry, God also

can be angry, and He has been angry before. He's especially angry with

sin. When we can love is because God loves, and we love like

God if we can, actually, God loves more than we can ever love.

When you know we have emotions, God has emotions, just that our

emotions must be under control because God has full control of his emotions. Are

you also with me? The need for love is because God also wants you

to love him. The way you feel for your children when you have children,

is how God feels for his children. We are made in his image,

in his likeness. Let them have dominion. Okay, so he didn't

give the dog the dominion. He didn't give the cat the dominion. He

didn't give the lion, even though the lion is the king of the jungle.

Even the king of the jungle does not have dominion. He gave it

only to human beings. You and me have dominion over the fish of the

sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over

all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.

So God created man in his own image, in the image of God.

He created him male and female. Praise God. I know there's a lot

of discussion about this in our world. Now, don't call me female.

I'm you know, I'm a woman, But don't call me woman because I

can also be a man, you know. I mean, there's a lot

of talk going on right now. But if you go back to the Bible

the way God created you will see the truth, and the truth will set

you free. There's only male and female, and we hold on not to

your opinions or the opinions of your prophet, says, because your professor isn't

God. We hold onto the opinion of God, not opinion. He's not

his opinion. It's his way. There is a male, there's a female,

and God created us beautiful, and the devil wants to corrupt it.

He wants to corrupt the image. He wants to make the image ugly and

smelly, and you know, and and without purpose. All right, so

let's finish this. So he made a male female, He created them.

Then God blessed them. Somebody said, God bless them, So God bless

you all too. In this room, you are blessed. Turn your neighbors,

say you are blessed. Turn to your neighbor and say you are female.

No, okay, all right. If they are females, please say

you're female. And if your male, say amen. Yeah. Just give

assurance to the persons in the next you can you give assurance the persons in

next to you, Just say you're male, you're female. Now, if

the person give offended, don't worry about it, all right. They can't

be offended in church for a bit. But more important, they open their

ears to hear the truth, because they're not hearing very much truth out there.

Out there is just full of lives. But I pray that when we

come to the House of God, the Church, and open the Word of

God, we hear truth. Truth that we were made, made by a

mighty creator who made us in his image and gave us dominion. And then

he said, be fruitful and multiply. Somehow this is the only commandment never

broken. People just love to be fruitful and multiply without even knowing God.

You know, or this one, no problem, This one will take care

of it. Be fruitful, a multiply. Feel the earth there you go

again, and subdue it. Have dominion over the fish of the sea,

over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on

the earth. This is God's plan. Somebody say, again, God's plan

our purpose. So when we know God's plan, we find our purpose of

living. Amen. Feel the earth, subdue it, have dominion over the

domain. All right. So I wanted. I want to show you the

plan and I want to show you the purpose as I draw this to the

last lap. But before I go into that, I want to show you

Psalms eighty two or six Psalms eighty two or six. It's not some verse

that we always talk about, but I want to talk to you about it

because the plan that God had was that Heaven should be mirrored on earth.

Everything that God enjoys in heaven, he wanted earth to enjoy it as well.

That's the simple plan. If you are a father here and you have

got a good business, you want to leave it for your children. That

is just natural. God is also a father. He's enjoyed so much wealth,

he has enjoyed so much happiness. He wants other people now to also

enjoy it, and especially his children made in his own image. So he

has to in order to be able to manage or run heaven on earth,

we need the same qualities of the leader God, as the leader of Heaven

has qualities that make him lead heaven very well. And now that he has

given us heaven on earth, he wants and must have leaders on earth that

has his qualities. So he needs to make mini gods. So that's why

the scripture is here. The scripture that we just read says that you are

God's and all of you children of the Most High. Actually, if you

think about it, the scriptures the why we don't always preach from this scripture

because people might be big hated. I'm a God, call me God,

bow down to me. But you know, even if we're not saying it,

so people like to do that. People like to go around in the

office and be God. People like to go around, you know, the

nation and be God. People want to be their own God. Actually,

we are we made in gods. It makes therefore we are God's. And

it takes a God to rule a god like domain. I hope I didn't

not lose you. God is leader of heaven and it takes the kind of

quality to rule heaven. So now on earth it takes the God quality to

rule earth. So the Bible is very clear. You are God. Let

me look at the next scripture and Jesus repeated this in John ten thirty three

thirty eight. Jesus answered him saying, for a good work, we do

not stone. Sorry. The Jews answered him, saying, for a good

work we do not stone you. But for blasphemy, and because you,

being a man, make yourself God. Jesus answered them, is it not

written in your law? I said, you are God's. Where does it

come from the Psalms that we just read. So Jesus is quoting Psalms and

saying, this is the word of God. Even God's would call you God's

because you are all made in the image of God. It's just that you

don't use your godship for evil. You know, all the way I know,

from Hitler to you know, all the different generals that's ever damaged their

country and spoil people's lives, all wanted to be God's and treated like God's.

But even though we are gods, because we are made in the image

of God, we do not go around doing that to people. In fact,

we use the power that God give us to bless and to heal and

to save. So let's finish that scripture. Jesus says, your law says

you are God's if he called them gods to whom the word of God came

and the scripture cannot be broken. Do you say of him whom the Father

sanctified and sent into the world, you are blespheming because I said I am

the son of God. If I do not do the works of my Father,

do not believe me. But if I do, though you do not

believe me, believe the works that you may know and believe that the Father

is in me and I in him. One of the biggest, clearest evidence

that you and I are sons and daughters of the Most High God, and

therefore we also are like gods on the earth, and it takes a god

to run a heaven on earth. One of the evidences is that we do

the works of the Father. That's exactly what Jesus says. He says,

You know you are wanting to store me because I call myself a son of

God. But you must not just hear my words. You must see my

works. And I go around everywhere doing the works of the Father. My

father loves people. I love people. My Father wants to heal people.

I go around healing people. Are you with me? The works show who

you really are. He is very important, and so all the gods that

are in this room listen to me. Don't go out and use your godship

for people to bow down to you, Okay, for Peter so to be

proud, you know, to push your way, you know, and and

and and uh and to tell people to submit to you and to you know,

beat your wife to submission. Don't do that. Don't do that.

You are God's under submission to the great Almighty God, and so we want

to do his works, are you saying me not the works of the devil?

And the devil also know that we are God's meeting God's image. So

he wanted to spoil the plan. Somebody says, spoil the plan. That's

what the enemy wanted to do. And if he can spoil the plan,

he can spoil our purpose. But I want to bring you back to the

purpose. So in the next so many minutes that we have, I'm going

to bring you through again a reminder of the plan and your purpose. Here

we go. Let's look at the next slide place the plan. The plan

is often called the vision and all the dream. God had a plan also

means he had a vision. And there are people here in this room.

Maybe you are company owners and maybe you lead a group of people. You

must have a vision. If you don't have a plan, you plan.

Well, someone said, before you fail to plan, you plan to fail.

So we don't want that kind of life. We want to have a

vision for our family, a vision for our you know, our business,

a vision for our life, a dream. So God also has a vision

and a dream. Let's move on. What is the plan? Number one?

I told you this before I went repeated back to you. God's plan

is to spread his kingdom. He's enjoying himself so much up in heaven,

he wanted it to spread it on this place called earth. This is a

simple plan. I cannot tell you more simply that this great God wanted to

franchise and of you, who are doing very well in your company, that's

also in your mind. You know why there is in your mind because it

was also in God's mind. And you know why your mind and God's mind

is almost the same, because you're made in his image. There's always this

desire. The Chinese were very good at this, you know, coming out

of China, you know, and then start business in Malaysia, stub businesses

Singapore, start business in Taiwan. You know, they just went and spread,

you know, because there was something within the Chinese. And the Indians

also very good. You know. Now I go to anywhere in the world,

also the Indians. There's an Indian shop and Indian incense, and there's

Chinese, you know, and the immigration always getting stopped because they are you

know. I tell you a story too, Soria. I was in Botswana

and we came in with some instruments. We came in with some instruments,

and the instruments already receiver approval from the Botswanan government to come in for free

because we're bringing the instruments for church. So the Botswanian authorities at the airport

said to me and to El, can you pleasent site here because they just

saw a whole group of Chinese tories coming down and they no, no,

no, we've got we've got to concentrate on this one. So me and

also Chinese one, but we step aside, step aside, and uh,

they started coming and they used green lane, right, the green lane.

These guys know their tactic city, so they used the green lane and went

and the funniest part, all of them got caught, all of them,

you know, opened the bag was this or you know, like they have

to declare some mushroom. They didn't declare. Another one, you know,

supposed to be the funniest one was this guy. Uh he opened his back

and there was at least three curtains of cigarette. Three curtains, okay,

and he's gonna sell in the small shopler because small traders are and then uh,

you know, because of language problem, I'm only about three feet away,

you know, with all this happening, because we we were told to

stand aside. And the lady says, so where are you coming from?

Uh? China? You know, I think this is something or Taiwan.

Don't know where. He said, oh, can you open your back please,

and so opened the back and then he saw, oh what is this?

And you know, this man said medicine. Medicine, you know,

and I think I think they seems so many, so uh, the immigration

off his medicine anyway, so they send him to go and pay the fine

and one by one, you know, I had to wait for the whole

plane load of people to get through. All I'm saying is that Chinese are

everywhere, Indians are everywhere. We have something in the image of God in

our hahasa to spread, right, because God also loves to spread. And

he wanted heaven not just to be kept in heaven, but to have heaven

on earth so that we can enjoy heaven. That's what Jesus says, Your

kingdom come or will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Okay.

Spread Number two, He there or wanted to share. He had to

share his image with somebody because Uh, the only person that can lead heaven

on Earth is a man or woman made in his image. So he shared

his image. He shared his qualities with human beings, not just with dogs

and cats and chimpanzees, but he shared it with us. Somebody say,

amen, all right, So that's the plan. The plan is to spread

and to make sure even like McDonald's, they want to make sure that good

managers are running it. And you know some of these early days are the

managers for McDonald's. You know where they had to go to. They had

to go to America for training, to our university called University of Hamburger Hamburger

University. Do you have you heard of that? So they will go to

America to the Hamburger University, and they got to get all the DNA because

what the US McDonald's want to do was to share their DNA their way to

manage because they didn't want it the Malaysia made the Singapotant way, the Thiwade.

They wanted their way. And so when managers came back, graduated from

the Hamberg University. And because they're so big around the world, they had

their own university. And so when they came back, they came back not

with a Malaysian and identity, not with the Chinese identity, nor with the

Indian identity. They came back with the McDonald's way of doing it. God

also has a way of doing it. And those of us who a good

entrepreneurship will always make sure there's a good manager. And God called us to

be managers of the earth. But we had to have something within us.

The DNA had to be of God, everybody, okay, so that we

will know how to lead it according to God's way, because if we don't

have the DNA, we will lead it according to a very selfish way,

because human beings are quite selfish. And it came because of the fall of

sin, which we'll get to. All right, let's move on. So

we have spread, we have share, and the purpose is to show his

glory, as simple as that. God wanted to show himself to the world.

He wanted to show himself how much he loves us, How he's a

good father, how he is our healer, he's our provider. Somebody say,

amen, how is our protector? He's a good God. And he

wanted to show that, but not just show that by appearing and I am

God I am good. Everybody will run away area if not bow down and

act like that. Dad, right, if God himself came down, so

he used God's you and I to represent him and to show the world this

is the God of love, by loving people, forgiving people, because God

also forgives us, giving to people who are poor, because that's what God

does for us. We are also poor in many sense of the words.

Sometimes we can be very rich in our pocket, but poor in our mind,

rich in our bank account, but poor in our hearts, poor in

character. Although you're a multi millionaire, we can be very poor. But

God still gives to us. He loves us everybody. Okay, so we've

got spread, we've got share, we've got show that. The plan of

God easy, easy to understand. But then came Satan. There is an

enemy that all of us have, and we sometimes call him Satan. Sometimes

we call him the devil. He is very real, ladies and gentlemen,

He's very real, and sometimes he comes to you in a form of fear.

Do you know that after my anaphilexis, I was praying for months because

I thought it was a prod because I that's the different things to see whether

I got allergy for me, nothing nothing shows, so I thought it was

pron and then I you know, Chuck with Dell must have PROD. Yeah,

So I went through my my favorite Chuck with Dell shop in Bangsa and

they put two prons. I tell you what when I took one prawn to

testa because my medicine was not with me. My medicine was at home.

I tell you, human beings get very confident. Now when your medicine is

nearby. I say, human beings get very confident when you're saying is nearby.

But when your men sin is far away from you are you're not so

confident. So I ate the prawn, and I tell you all kinds of

things came to my mind. You're gonna die. And then sometimes you can

think yourself sick with no certainly. It's what's way each year each and you

can think until they each go up to here, and then it goes to

the same place that you headed before. How come you can really think yourself?

Students, you know this because when you're preparing for your examiner, you

think you fairly even before you study. I when I was you know,

I'm a lawyer by training. You know that I've studied law, but even

before love. Before I will cry before I go to school because my my

grandmother told me something when I was much younger. He says, Ah,

kenny By, you don't study all these in Candonesia with some bad words,

of course, but if you don't, Grandma always think that bad words get

the message true. So you're all here. If you don't study here,

you will be road sleeper, you know. And I will wake up in

the morning actually seeing myself sheep the road. Yeah, because I couldn't finish

a form three, couldn't finish for five. Now, of course I know

better. You shouldn't look down on road sleepers or they're earning clean money.

They're doing something if they don't see and who's gonna sheep you are? Why

not? So thank God for them. It's all right. But our parents

those days, grandparents of this have has a way to cause you to study.

But that that way was causing me to panic. I'll wake up and

I actually see myself sweeping. Then my uncle has to add on to the

study. You said, you know what you know? You want to sell

drinks by the roadside. They give you five scents those days, five scent

wondering five scent wondering, Say you're gonna count f Kenny, Kenny, you

try to really give you to Kenny. When are you gonna bring your child

to the to the school and pay the school fees? Sent fight scent,

fight scent? I cry, no, I do one, I do one,

And I have nightmare like this. I have nightmare of me going to

buy something for my I don't know for my wife, my dress, you

know, go to H and M. That will be uh two hundred and

fifty ring kinser fice and fists and fists and fight and every five s is

a drinker that soul. Scary boy, scary all right, So there is

I'm trying to tell you there is an enemy. Uh. And the enemy

sometimes you don't see him because he doesn't want to reveal. See. If

the enemy came to you as an ugly satan, of course you run away.

No, he comes to you in different forms. Fear is a very

big strategy of satan, and some of you are crippled by fear. You

haven't died, Idia, You think about death right and you and you're you're

scared of death. You haven't filed your exam, but you're thinking about failure.

Uh and uh. And the enemy uses here, the enemy uses rejection,

the enemy uses hurts, the enemy uses shame, the enemy uses guilt.

That is a real devil. If you believe it, say amen,

because he's very real, and he's after you, and he's after me to

destroy the plan of God in our lives. Hey boy, Okay, So

when he came, he tempted the first woman and the first man, Adam

and Eve. You want to understand this, Adam and Eve was the first

man and first woman. There had to be a first man and first woman

on the earth. Okay, He didn't order suddenly become all like this first

man, first the first woman. The Bible says Adam Eve, and he

came to Eve. He tempted her because they're not supposed to eat of this

tree. This obediently they ate of the tree that God says don't eat.

And God tested them. So because people have asked me for no pastor if

God knew that even Adam could eat of the tree, why he put it

there in the first place. My answer to you, it's very simple.

If God never puts something that you cannot touch, then you will never know

that he's God. Every time in our lives. When there is I cannot

do this, you acknowledge there is a God that you answer to. As

soon as you say I can do anything, you become that God. You're

with me today. That tree is like the ten percent tithe. We cannot

touch the tithe because the tithe belongs to God. And if you touch the

tithe, you're stealing from God. And so the reason why we give our

and to the Lord is because we're saying he's God. Now, if you

can do anything with all our money, all our talents, then there's no

need for God. But as soon as there was a command, all the

trees you can eat from but one tree. You are saying, the reason

why I don't touch the tree is because there is someone bigger than me.

It's as simple as that. And God didn't put ten trees that you can

eat, only one and all the other trees you can eat one this one.

Just tell me you understand that there is someone bigger than you. Tell

me that you understand that someone is in charge of your life. Tell me

that you understand that when you die, you don't just go into nothingness.

You go and meet a God who you're going to answer to tell me that

you understand that there is a God, because if you don't have control over

your life, you are saying that you are God and you can do anything

you want. I understand. So they're not supposed touch a tree and God

put it there so that they remember that he's God. There is a God.

There is a God. There's a God. Every time I see a

tree, yeah, I can't touch it because God said, okay, so

I recognize there is a God in my life. I can eat from every

other tree, but this one, God, I won't touch this one because

you are God. I'm not. As soon as they touched it, they

say, I don't care about who you are. I am God. You

are not all right. So sin came into the world. That's the next

ass sin. And with that sin came separation. Now I want to tell

you somebody about sinner. Sin from the first man and the first woman is

inherited. All of us have inherited sin in our lives. Do you understand

now, why when you go to a doctor and you have a condition,

they ask you about your parents' history. Because even in medical signs, we

know that we are all connected all the way to add them and if we

are connected, and because of one man's sin and one woman's sin, it

has come down all the way. He says that we don't see each other

like a doctor and say, so, can you tell me about your father's

sin? Can you tell me about your grandfather's sin? We don't ask this

questions, although in church we do. When I pray for people, when

they get delivered and they get set free. They don't get set free just

because it's their sin, though some of them will come. You know.

For example, let's say you're a guide that's filled with lust and you don't

know why you can't get over ust. You know, watch pornography every day,

and then you will realize. I see my grandfather only when I found

out for my grandmother, my grandmother's grandfather. Okay, so great great grandfather,

he was a judge in China. All right. My grandmother keeps telling

my eyebrows are like, you know, like my great grandfather, this eyebrows

of judges, eyebrows of authority either, you know, look very garaguan.

If I let my eyebress grow, I will go like that. Okay,

well, no, I'm just kidding. So and then she said he was

a very very unjust judge, you know, and I'm telling you right now

it was not to flow down at the lineage. Uh and uh. And

you'll find you know, someone uh, you know, grip with lust and

could not overcome it, and then it will come down. I have seen

families whereby okay, let's say I met someone he says I'm divorced, but

not just me. My mom is divorced, and my uncles are divorced,

and my aunties are divorced. And somehow you will find it. Voice is

running through the family. And sometimes you could be cancer. And then you

know, my grandmother died of cancer, my father and you. So somewhere

along the line, God wants to come into our lives and break it.

But the only one that can break it is the one that took it on

his own body. So Jesus died on the cross for our sins and our

sickness, and he took it upon himself. So when you put your trust

in the Lord Jesus Christ, you break the curse. Because there is a

curse that has come down even from Adam and Eve. I've seen it so

many times, guys, I tell you, if I spend time talking to

you, about it. You take another service. I've seen depression. A

girl is depressed, and now I realized that her mom used to have depression.

I realized that her grandmother used to have depression. I realized that great

grandmother. Or sometimes it skips a generation, but it's there the lineage.

When I asked about suicide, suicide has happened more than once in his family

or some auntie you know committed sous that it's it's it's it's very real.

People. I I you know, at one time we had high cholesterol,

and doctor immediately did your dad have high cholesterol? I mean, we can

accept it in the clinic for Dr Doars. We can't accept it in church

when we say that we are actually we have inherited a lot of sin and

sickness that we'd even know. But Jesus came to break it all up,

to break it all up and to set us free. Somebody say, amen,

it's important if you have divorced in your family, and goes on and

on and on, and it might attack you your marriage. I pray that

today it shall be broken. I didn't. I didn't set out today to

actually want to pray for people, uh to to break bondages. Uh.

And if it's a sickness, uh, if it's you know, a bad

habit, if it's uh sexual sins uh. You know my dad was also

you know when when I told you before that I was addicted to pornography when

I was very young. Only later on I found out that my dad was

actually very sexually loose in his childhood. And you know, just so so

I know, I know this is very real. I just want to say

to you again, Satan is very real, and so it's sin. And

the thing is we are separated from God because of that. Okay, let

me let me draw towards the clothes. Let's move on. This is the

bad news. This is the pothole. The plan is that God wanted to

spread share and show the pothole or the bad news is that there was a

satan, there was sin, and there was separation from God. Okay,

bad news. Now let's go into the patch up. Every pothole can be

patched up. Somebody say, amen, yeh, the Malaysian portholes. Have

you seen the Malasian potholes? Some places I see on Instagram's so funny,

you know, to gets so frustrated that the authorities are not patching up the

porthole. Theyre going They're going to plan a plan, plane, dur entry,

plant a mango tree, you know, and then the tree is growing,

and then food thing. And you know, now it's harder for the

authorities to pull up by the roots. But you know, we get very

frustrated with potholes in our lives. But I'm here to tell you that Jesus

came to patch it up. To patch it up? How how this is

the good news. This is the gospel. Number one, God said a

savior. Somebody say, amen, his name is Jesus, son of the

Living God. God himself came in the flesh. He had to because he

had to pay for our sins. So he had to carry our body to

pay. You know, like how you go to China, you can't pay

in ring it. No, you go to America, you can't pay in

uh. But so when Jesus came to pay our price, he couldn't pay

with God money. He had to pay with human money. He had to

put on a currency body. A lot of people don't. So God came

in a human body because the human currency had to go to the cross.

He had to pay with his body, his life. This is what people

say, Why why can't God just come as God and go on? I

decree, I declare he can because his own law says eye for eye,

tooth for tooth. So he has to pay the price of a human sin

with a human body. He had to be slashed by a whip, and

that stripes on his body hung to a cross. But God was in that

body, and that God in that body couldn't die. The body died and

took our place. It was currency spend right in God's wisdom. Pay.

He paid the price the savior. And so the next ass is salvation.

And the way we get salvation is not just to say, oh Jesus came,

Oh Jesus game, oh wow, not wonderful, wonderful for you Christians

that Jesus came. No, no, it's for everyone, somebody say everyone.

And so to be able to receive salvation from a savior is to receive

him, is to believe in him, is to say, Jesus, I

tried it my way. I tried it my way so many times. I

want your way. Help me, Lord, help me. I humble myself.

I don't want to be proud. This is not time to be proud

anymore. I want to come to you, Savior. I now see that

there is a plan that God had for me from the beginning, and Satan

and sin spoiled it and separated me from God. But now God calls me

back to become his child. Salvation must be received. He's like soap.

Salvation is like soap, soap next to you in the bathroom. That's nothing

to you. I used to do me. Some people say, why do

I need to pick up the soap? Of course you need to pick up

the soap. No, But I know Jesus, I know the soap.

I stand. In fact, I'm washing under the shower and soap is with

me. And I think about the soap, and I like the soap,

and the smell is good. It's not better. I touch it and rub

it a little bit and smell. Oh. Until you pick up the soap

and start washing, you will never get clean. Jesus will never force you

to use the soap. It is a personal decision. A free will pick

up that soap and start to wash. And I tell you what you will

see the difference. You will smell the difference. Amen, God is good.

So salvation was the next one. After salvation, we become sons and

daughters again. Now we're bring back to square one. At the beginning of

the plan. God wanted sons and daughters. He didn't just want people saved.

He wants sons and daughters because he's the father. And as sons and

daughters, we have his image, we have his likeness. You know,

like I said before, right in America, a lot of it happens,

not here as much in Malaysia, but you'll see a person's name, right

Kenneth Chin and sons for example. And the reason why is because whatever I

do, you know, I do with my sons, I do four my

sons. And when I'm no longer here, my sons take over. Right.

They're proud to have their sons carry on their business. And that's why

Jesus says, why do you seek me? Don't you know? I must

be about my father's business. Jesus, a son and father are one.

They do things together, and Jesus did whatever his father did. Everybody,

Okay, I'm gonna close very soon. I want you to all understand that

we start as children. John Chapter one, verse Chelve. This is my

memory now, but to as many as received him to them. He gave

the right to become children of God. We all start as children, but

we are not always immediately sons and daughters. You and I become sons and

daughters when we are led by the spirit Romans eight fourteen. Romans eight fourteen

says to as many as are led by the spirit of God, these are

sons of God. So we all have to mature. Somebody say, mature.

We are children when we start. No Jesus saves us. We are

children, little children. We make mistakes, We're not perfect. But then

we grow up. Somebody say, grow up. Tell your neighbors they grow

up. Okay, okay, okay, grow grow God wants sons and daughters.

You never see on a company's name Canna Chin and children, because we

will not give a company to children. It's not Canna Chin and children.

It's Kenachin and sons. This is the plan of God. Would you be

a son and a daughter of Jesus today, a son and daughter of God?

Would you continue his business on this earth and love people like he loves

people, care for people, and heal people like he heals people. All

right, now, let's close. That's close. What's what is the last

three s words the purpose, the purpose. So we've got one again.

The plan, the pothole, the patch ups. I want to say amen

to the patch up that God has done a patch up work already. Okay,

we just had to receive and now we've got to find our purpose.

And the last three as I'm gonna share with you is we are all sent

you and I have got to recognize that is very important, y, very

important to understand that when you are in this life, living and breathing,

it's not just for your selfish self, but you were sent by God on

a mission. I told you a story before. I'll tell you very quickly.

My grandmother, when I was six years old, send me opposite to

the shop. Six years old. Those days are no cars, no robbers,

No, I don't know, but the you know, it's safer,

much safer. Slightly ordering me, are you slightly? Because she still looks,

you know, young, and she knows. Also this road that I

used to stay on, Higgs Road, now it's called chunkup booking being done.

A small little road. Mama, Mama, my grandma Mama will say

to me, go and buy me some sugar and some salt. Okay,

for example, La, here is five ring it, five ring it.

Those days are power now fifty years ago power. So I'm walking across the

road as the sixties old boy. Look to the right, look to the

life. No cast, actually the road, no cast for a long time.

One. Okay, you've got casts. Everybody celebrated, hey test too

many times? Okay. Then well across the road, I go into the

shop. I don't know why those of you are old enough. You know

those shops those days are always put sweets and biscuits at the front, in

those big, big bottles. The border is big enough to put you insidels.

All right. The favorite biscuit and set I love is the biscuit round

one on top of sugar. And oh come on, somebody say, amen,

okay, we're getting spiritual here, and I will bite sugar, throw

in the biscuit. Come on, who needs a biscuit and different different color

one. Okay, I now have power in my hands. Somebody say power,

five ring it. I'm holding the five Ringits so hot that the argon

is crying. And I look at uncle and I'm saying hi, young man

in all in Cantonese. Right, got sitting there waiting for you, and

I'm kidding Uncle, I'm going in the form of uh, you know the

tempter? Yes, young man, what you want? You want to be

skied? I've got power in my hands. All of you got power in

your hands, all of you, all of you talent, wisdom, strength,

money, I got power, five ringed men. I was a powerful

young boy in hicks Rod. Uncle. There's always going to be an uncle,

someone who is going to distract you something. You come to the church

starting a good movie opposite. All right, So uncle said, you want

any of these kids? I know you always come for this one, right,

You even know what I like? So so I said, I didn't

answer him. No, I just looked, what what? What? What's

the problem of looking? Right? And then there's also a bottle with su

goose su goose? And my favorite is the purple one. Great. What

if you want to shut up any child and you just give him three because

it's so sticky, I get your mouth. I'm looking, I'm looking.

I'm looking like it was a zoo, a petting zoo, can can pet

run? And then I bought. I bought. I bought because you know

I had money in my hands, and I forgot what it was about,

do you know you can't forget your purpose because you got some in your hands?

Live your money and Libby of bonus, Olivia success, Sonny for good

that I came for salt and sugar. Mama sent me, She sent me,

God send you, but with a little by of power now because your

campus to the area no longer. Uh young, Now I've got power.

I've got the power. And then we're still. Now you've got my young

kid out, Now you got your old sataray, I've got the power.

M hmmm mm. Now you've got a cardie can go anywhere. Look afew

only your curf. I know what that means. Anyway, So I'm looking,

I'm looking, I buy, I buy, and maybe I buy happily.

I'm skipping back to my house. Skeepe scape skip to the skip.

And then I came home and I said, Mama, and Mama who sent

me, say sugar, salt and change. She Al wasn't wanted to change

because she knew that firing it was a lot. I thought it was just

enough for sweets and biscuits. I got the working of my life because I

failed the mission. I forgot. I was sent and I came back so

I hope that none of you when you're peer before God, and when after

you die, you're peer before you send me forgot. Oh God, I

have built you a big company. No like if I'm in front of my

mama. Mama, I bought sweets on a discount. Tomorrow, Uncle gave

me free biscuit with the sugar on top by thirteen more percent. I did

this, I did that. I did this, I did that. I

built a big company, and God said I sent you for something totally different.

It's very scary to stand before God and say I forgot. At least

with my grandmother, I got second chance. I can go opposite again and

buy with God when you appear before him, and that's your last chance,

right. So you come to a service like this, like church service,

and you hear a message like this so that you don't have to wait until

heaven when you have no more chance to do. You come and you hear

this so that you've got a second chance and third chance to make it better.

I also me, he's very important. So you're sent and last two

essays and then are closed. Let's let's let's throw to close. We were

called to Stewart. Somebody Stewart. Stewart just means it's all someone's namer,

Stuart Little. It just means manage. God called us and put put us

on earth to manage. I think the greatest job on the earth is a

management job, because it takes a lot of trust, it takes a lot

of skill, takes a lot of patience. I was given a very beautiful

wife, and for me, I take it as my privilege to manage my

mariage. Well. So there will be days where I will be angry,

days would be a frustrated, days would be at whatever days my divorce might

even come into my mind. My father divorced, my uncle's divorce. Divorce

runs in my family too, And divorce has run into my mind at least

five times in twenty nine years of marriage. Very tempted to because Passsendra is

also a very strong woman and sometimes a strong man and a strong women a

clashman. But then God Passendra knows what submission is and so she she always,

you know, does her best to just submit. And and but you

know, I have pride, no this manly pride sometimes that I can be

a pastor. But there's a human as well. Wow, you know how

what do you do? You manage those feelings according to the will of God.

You manage. That's why managers are really good. Managers are really hard

to come by. But when you find a good manager, you can lead

anything. You can lead any come, you can lead any country. Do

you know. I know Ibrahim and the whole cabinet that they're not just leaders,

that they're managers. They're supposed to manage this country well. And the

way they manage this country, they will have to give account to God and

God say I made you a prime minister, I made you this I men

you cabinet, mister, what do you do for Malaysia? They would have

to answer, God has given me this church in ten nations, now fifty

churches, over three thousand people. I have to manage well because I don't

answer to you. At the end, I answer to God who sent me.

Be a good steward everybody, A good manager of your talent, time,

treasure. Finally, saturate just God just wants you after you've tasted of

his goodness, taste of his grace, after you have managed things and you're

fruitful. Now multiply tell everybody, Tell everyone who this God is, what

his plan is how much he loves us, how he sent us a safe

to patch up the potholes in our lives. How salvation is just one soap

bar away. If I can say it, use it. Open your heart

and receive him. Test him for yourself, Believe on him, let him

change your life. And when you have tasted his goodness and his love and

his forgiveness, I tell you you want to saturate this message all over.

You think to yourself, oh, your or your Why don't more people know

this? Why don't more people know this? So you want the whole world

to know. And that's how our theme is that all may know. We

hope you've been blessed by this message. For more information on our church,

We're believing that this week is going to be a good week. It

for you. God bless
