Hope In God | Elder Wong Kien Yiak

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

will light up your day. If you have your Bible, will you turn

to geremiitraity iverse eleven? Yeah, geremetry and I was eleven. You'll know

this scripture right, your favorite scripture right when you meditate, right, especially

during the time of exam. You do not know what future you will have.

We will declare it all our life, you know. For I know

the pleas I have for you, says a lot. Yeah, it's true.

Uh, this scripture does encourage a lot of people. So jeremetry in

I verse eleven starts off for I know the plans I have for you,

says a lot. Amen. So good to know that God has a plan

for every one of us here. Right. So if regardless of where you

are with your station of life or progress of life, your journey of life,

I want to let you know this morning, God has a plan for

you, right. It's so important to us to realize it. Friend.

God is not a salesperson whose word is trying to convince you of you know

of an investment plan or insurance plan. He wants to encourage you that He

just has to stake. I have a plan for you. Now, for

any plan to work, you need to know who's saying it, right,

Like, for example, if you represent an entity or organization someone present before

you to investment, you always do the research of who is the one that's

is promoting it, who's the one that's backing it. So this is the

Lord saying to each and everyone of you here this morning, he has a

plan for you. So the plan is not dependent on the mo one,

not dependent on your age. Someone say amen. So in other words,

whether you are young, or whether you just finish college, or are young

working ad out, or you're going to mid life crisis right, or you

are just studying a bit older, he still have a plan for you,

plan for you in regardless of your education background. Right. The Bible not

say I only have a plan for you when you graduate from Taylor's College.

Just kidding promoting tailors. But no, the Bible not say that I have

a plan for you only if you get your MBA or something. I know.

He says he has a plan for your regardless of your education background.

It's such a big encouragement today because some of us here, like people like

me, don't really study much one do not read much one. Uh,

there is an encouragement that Gods you have a plan for me. God you

have a plan for you, even though for the past maybe twenty years of

your life you made the wrong choices. Maybe it's a wround. Maybe some

of you like, yeah, I married the wrong person. It's kidding,

just kidd but sometimes you go to marriage marriage, right, it's sometimes you

wake up, Oh God, what did I just do? It helps friends,

right, you just feel like, look, if I could turn back

the clothes. So he has a plan for you. If regardless, okay,

of the mistakes you made, I wan't allow that simon to sinking,

because sometimes we always think that just because we need a couple of mistakes in

our life. I'm not talking about this morning you woke up and you and

you wore the wrong clothes, or you know, you didn't say good morning

to your parents. Know, I'm talking about life choices, all right.

So in life, friends, we make bad choices. But God you have

planned for you. So when the lords have a plan for you. The

Bible says that Jeremiah was tay I was elevated. There are plans for good,

plans for good. This morning some of you are struggling to see that

his plans are for good because you're wondering, if God plans for me is

for good, why am I not happy? You know the Bible have dou

will guarantee your happiness on you know here has that will say I came to

die for you so you can be happy. But we there want to be

such a happiness in the Bible so much right, and but God knows it.

I can give you a life and more happy life I can give you.

I can give you happiness and more happiness. No Bible say I keep

give you a life and more life abundantly right. So the plans the Bible

here says is for good. Someone says good friends, you and I need

to know that these plans for us is for good, for good because in

our own journey sometimes the words that we try to understand the word good based

on a human understanding. That's why someone we can't see the goodness of God

in our daily life because you always try to interpret good with our own human

understanding. If God is good, then why do I have to face traffic?

If God is go, why can't I get a property where I always

wanted to be. If God is God, why cannot I get the girl

I always want? If God is go, why am I still singer stuff?

Let it go through our dally mind, go to our heart. Friends,

If we are not careful, we allow the interpretation right to dictate and

the word is to to hijack God's plan, bring it to a place whereby

we don't want to go. So this morning, I pray that you allow

God to minister to you, because the plan is for good, not for

disaster. Plans for good enough for disaster. Friends, very important to understand

this plan for good, not for disasters. In other words, when God

gives you a plan is not to take your life one. Some of you're

thinking that, elder, you must understand that I went through so many exams,

every exams in my life. It feels like killing me on right,

every time situated exam. I feel like it's going to consume me. Some

of you as examines like like like joy as exams If you know joy history

of examer She exams for breakfast lunch and you know what, that's joy,

that's joy. I know back then she will still studying or she would lock

herself in the room there right and she would just look at the book with

a bottle of water and a guarding a loaf of break there that that's that's

her for the rest of us, like normal human beings. Right, exempt

examiners next year, Right, we'll stop playing all the day one day before

the examine and said, so, we don't like exams, we don't like

disaster. But the Bible here says that this plend is not the gift to

make your life difficult. Really is to give you a future. First,

a future very important. Friends. God wants to remind us this morning that

you have a future. Even though you are sixty, you still have a

future. Friends. Your future is not the grave. You know, not

retire. I am not like oh let's you know. Let's see. The

word is that I cannot carry anymore. I cannot walk up more than three

flights of stairs. You know I made so many mistakes. I didn't if

I saved earlier. I only got this friends. You see, you have

a future in the lot. You must understand this, because we go to

life if you are. The word is that if we are so intellectual,

so smart, try to work every mistakes are, then we are God.

Really, there's no way you cannot avoid mistakes on friends. There's no way,

because there's no such thing as not making mistakes as human being. I

find that I was talking to relatives that you know of mine, and after

that, yeah, your parents, so please me, okay, can you

just share my So let me just share some of my family secrets with your

My parents was very afraid of very The world is very worried about me being

the second son. How many second child here? Right, you're not as

smart as your elder sibling. Right, your eldest sibling very smart, you

know, just to be always caused really good results, But the most obedient

elder sibling, right, the meaner child sort of like in between nine and

said, you're a MIDI child, you're very smart. Praised a lort.

Okay, I'm not like that. So I got a younger sister who's so

very smart. Right, very smart, but I say very smart because more

of them my parents allow them to do from six. She looked, My

parents will look at me when I was younger. I don't think you passed

from six. So myself said, you alway see its because easier like that,

so growing up, growing up, said worry because the word is that

being taken avantish off you understand, trying to say, right, being taken

advantage of people? You and corn you. I told I told this to

a family friend of mine. Just say, look, I say that there's

a very normal concern and I and I don't thought my parents were thinking that

because maybe I was slow. I was. I had a lot of record

that shows like that. And hand that's why they're worried. They're worried.

So they use the word they're worry about your future. Right, most parents

are worrying for the future, for the right, not then worried. But

the Bible here says that he came to give us a plan for the future.

Very important. Why the future is because we're not a future. There

is no hope. First, the future is not in the organization you're working

for right now. Yes, you're enjoying it. Yes you have you have

what it is, you know, you have good pay package, everything,

But but that's not your future. Because that season of that season, that

chapter, one day, then what's next. But in the Lord, there's

no ending praise the Lord, hallelujah. Right, you have a future because

with the future you can have hope. Friends, because many times the words

that we try to have hope in so many things, so many avenues.

You try to squeeze hope from here and there. Nothing can truly give you

hope unless your hope comes from the Lord. Your future is in the Lord.

Friends, So in regardless of anything I want to sort to share with

you about the hope in the Lord, we can have hope because, friends,

God is thinking about you. God is thinking about you. The Bible

says, I say, jeremind, you're nevers eleven, for I know the

plans I have for you. God is the one carrying thing that plans.

He's reminding you he's thinking about you. Friends, You only have you only

make plans for the people you know. Think about it. You will only

make plans for the people if you have. If you have children, you

make plans for your children because they are yours. If you have a pet

dog, you make plans for your pet dog, but you never make plans

for your neighbor's pet dog. Right, But this is the Lord. Friends,

Maybe some of you are right caring. Okay, you're super carring.

You're making plans for every person you meet, okay, p hallelu yeah right

you our Malaysia mother Teresa, praise a lot, right, But the Bible

says that God is thinking about you. So some one tree nine Psalms one

Tree nine, verse sixteen. You saw me before I was born. The

Bible says you saw me before I was born. Friends can just say this,

You're not a mistake, regardless of where you are today. Friends,

you're not a mistake. I say this in the menu community. They understood

it many times now, growing up years, growing up life right. Sometimes

sometimes you know when my younger parents used to say that I picked you up

in a rubbish bin. You heard that statement before in asia context. If

you've seen that before, you heard that before, right, I've heard that

before. You heard that before. I pick you up a rabbi because you

don't look like you see blakes. You look like parents. You want you

that well on earth. I pick you up from somewhere, all right,

And I know what parents are trying to do already. But sometimes you go

think about you, you only chol. Things are not a value into the

bin, right, And because that, we always grow up with this mindset.

Maybe I'm not a value, I'm not valuable, and that's why things

are not valuable? Is dumb into the bin. But here God wants to

encourage you. First of all, he saw you before you were made your

value. Friends, this morning, we can have hope in God God,

because God is thinking about us. We are valuable in God's sight, valuable

in God's side, friends, if regardless, Sometimes sometimes we allow our results

the world results. I say the word results. The world yard to stake

to tell us what's our value, and that robs us of our destiny,

robs us of our futures about hope in living, we allow the world to

tell us that, you know, if you don't fit in this particular frame,

then you're maybe not good enough. It's very true. Friends, Come

on, we live in a very real world. The moment you walk up

from this place, right you, you you have this yacht, say you're

supposed to if you fall into this right. So, when my mom passed

away a couple of years ago, one relatives sit down from me. You've

got a saving for a million, you've got saving. How you're gonna retire

without one meal? When I don't have love, I know my father didn't

even have lat So I said, I give my life saving the law.

I said, it's okay, it's all right, if God will take care

of his servants. And really, I said, I may not have the

care of luxury that you have. That that's all right, I say,

it's okay. I don't need to fit into this particular ship. I don't

need to. I say, if you can, if you, if you

have praised the Lord, I'm not envious the people who have it. I

don't go you have a how dare No? I don't do the head.

I say to keep calling if you haven't praised the Lord. So many times

the words the worlds trying to feed you in your value comes or if you

comes, If you fit into this frame, anything out from the frame,

you're not as valuable anymore. Right, So, every day of your life

is recorded in the book. Every day of your life. Think about it

for a moment. You are not just a byproduct of your passion, your

parents' passionate night you're not ultimately comes out like huh, what do I do

with you? And that was when you are alive. He has a plan

for you. See, when every time God gives you a plan, he

has a purpose. Rather that God has a plan, he has a purpose.

That means you have a purpose here on earth. You have a purpose

so valuable. Friends, You have a purpose here on earth. Every moment

was later before a single day has passed, Verse seventeen. How precious are

your thoughts about me? This is God, not with even the biggest billionaire

out there who talk about you friends. He may give you money, but

he cannot give you health. Someone you know, a doctor, can give

you health, but may not give you money. You go to life challenges.

Neither the person with money or persons with really good understanding of human body

can never get to help you with your marriage. This is the lot of

friends. How precious are your thoughts about me? This is something that sometimes

we forget because trials and challenges drop. You see God, God loves you.

God must have hte you right, That's why you're going to this.

You see other Christians, they're they're experiencing even better life than you. You

must have done something wrong, You must have been left off. My God

was handing out a blessing. The Bible says God taught to uss cannot be

numbered, cannot be numbered, was aided. I can't even count them.

They outnumbered the greens of the salmon and will wake. That's still with me,

friends, even before today. If you have not fullow Christ in your

life, God thought about you. Our part is to know him and know

his plans, because already his plan is really made up for you. But

many times you go like, oh, but I now knew that God thought

about us. See, be kind of a hope because God is thinking about

you no matter where you are with the station of life. Friends, sometimes

you think that you know, I mean, I'm just going to share this

all right. I met people who just definitely say, you know, because

of my connection, I can solve problems. I'm sure you have met the

people like that because of my connection, I can solve problems, which is

true in their own understanding. However, there are some problems your connection cannot

solve. Think about it. There's some problems your connection cannot solve. If

it's a health issue, what connection do you have to solve a health issue?

That's all I got. I got, I got a hot issuer hower

if you have a mental issue, so something that some connections maybe can,

but not all connection can solve everything. I want to lay that down because

sometimes you go that, yeah, but all there, you don't understand.

You know, I got connection. So my hope is in my connection,

but your connection will fail. So where never share with me. I just

look at the person. I say, well, maybe it's true now,

but not forever. Right, one day the connection will fail and then the

connection feels Then then then what do we do as a person. We need

to go back to God and God. Say, Lord, your Bible says

you have a plan for me. For I know the plans I have for

you, says to the Lord. You can have hope because God is thinking

about you wherever you are in your life. God is thinking about you.

Because many times when things happen, the first thing that goes out the window

is God. That's what the devil wants to do. He wants to rob

you away from the Lord, rob you away from God, rob me from

the community of faith, so that you stop thinking about God, so you

can stop thinking about church, so we can talk thinking about His word.

I isolate you so that you could be alone. That's what happens when every

time we hit a wall this couragement, the first thing that goes out is

God. First thing it goes out is your relationship with fellow believers, and

isolate you to a place whereby you're all alone by yourself and God, this

onely wants to remind you that don't go that path, because I've really been

thinking about you. So therefore you have a future. You have a hope.

Friends, Why how can we can have hope because we can be fully

convinced that God is able. We can have hope because God is able.

We can have hope because God is able. Roman chapter four, wards twenty

one says this Abraham, the Bible says, was fully convinced. He was

fully convinced church, fully convinced that God is able to do what he promises,

fully convinced. Many times in our journey, in our walk with the

Lord. It is not that we don't think that God is able, it's

just that we struggle to be fully convinced. It's not the thing that God's

We never thought that God's not able, because He's got ma. But I

think our struggle is being fully convinced. And that's why sometimes we go through

life right trying to find my own way. So you're and I friends,

this morning, we have to be fully convinced. The word fully convinced me

is fully satisfied and shure that God is able to do mightily, to keep

his word and to do what his promises, to keep his word and do

what he promises. So Abri, you know the story which I'm going to

explain to you afterwards. Abel was fully convinced. So whatever situation you are

right now, we think about it for a moment. Are you fully convinced

that God's able remove the bank account that you have right now? Are you

fully convinced God's going to lead you to and guide you and give you peace?

Are you fully convinced if you if something happens to the job environment,

that's say, for example, I'm not saying it, not cassing anybody,

right, Please don't hate me after this this to come to church next week.

You have a good speaker. You will see me until next next,

next month, you radio, or maybe next year, depending on the schedule.

But let's say, for example, right the place you're working right now

don't exist anymore? Right, no more job? What happens? M No,

it's it's not just imagine right now what happens? Friends. We have

to be fully convinced now before things take place. So when when God gave

the promise, friends, the environment hasn't changed it, You know, the

environment hasn't changed yet. Let me it was still the same environment. But

God promised when before the change of environment. So, in other words,

friends, before anything could change it externally, internally, we have to change

first, So we have to be fully convinced inside first before outside can happen.

So many times our journey, in our life, we want outside to

change. Then only we can be fully convinced. Then we don't need faith

anymore. Let me show you next. Give Roman chapter four wards. The

thing Roman chapter four wards. The Thing says is that clearly got promised to

give the whole earth to Abraham and his descendants was not based on obedience God's

law. God's promise to Abraham is to give him the whole earth to his

to his descendants. You know, no child yet, no children yet,

imagine right now, no cheer year, but promises that has already given nothing

to pass on. You know, when you pass on, you must have

somebody to inherit right, nobody to inherit anything. But here is God's promise

giving him a vision that he's going to pass it on, like Abram must

wondering who do pass it on to? Was but based on the right relationship

with God that comes by faith. So a lot of Christians just trying to

keep up. Maybe I just keep coming to church, then things will change.

Maybe I just keep the word. Is that giving off fring, giving

tithe you many things you change. But the Bible here says, it's not

about keeping up with the law, about really having a right relationship with God

first, first, and foremost, have a right relationship with God. Many

times you want to fix everything and outside. Maybe it's coming to prayer service,

just coming to church, going to homes and all the external right.

If this is good but not great, because the Bible here says that Abraham

got his relationship right with the Lord first by faith. Many times in now

Christian world, right, we focus on everything else except to go out faith

on right forcus everything else you mean just by coming to church, by coming

to church, or maybe we have a few plays of worship album in our

playlist. We think our faith is great, nor fIF comes in first Bitter

one, verse seven, So we are a bit more scipture this morning,

First Bitter one, verse seven, First Bitter one, verse seven. These

trials will show that your faith is genuine. These trials will show that your

faith is genuine. Friends, nothing can prove that your faith is genuine except

for trials. Mhm. Nothing can prove that your faith is genuine, genuine

except for trials. If I really this trailer because a lot of times we

think that we have faith because we attend a conference, because every everybody is

there are the great picture comes out, You go, I have faith.

But true faith comes when we go to a trial. Friends, none of

us here like trials right now, none of us here. If we can,

we try to avoid it. We try to. We try to migrate

everything like right, We try to do everything. Don't like means don't like

right. But here's saying God is reminding us. I will use trials to

prove your faith, to reveal where your faith is, to show you what's

genuine or not. Because in other words, if there's if there's a test

to show whether it's genuine or not, that miss Sometimes our faith could be

fake, could be what seems to be real but not real lie right,

replica of what real thing is. These days you find a lot of replica

of designer pieces on how about looks real? Everything looks the same, but

don't have the real designer thing there. Sometimes you think that we live in

a lifeverybody it's acceptable to have that and our faith as well. Some we

allow it, but God will always use trials, So next time, don't

hit trials, saying, God, what is it that you want me to

learn from here? It is being tested as fire tests and purify goals.

When trial tests your faith, it's like a fire that purifies go friends,

none of us here like fire. Think about it. We like water,

water sports, right, we like what you like to play with water,

but none of us like to play fire. Fire does change everything. It

touches, right, You know that principle. You know the story. Fire

changes everything, you know if you're the man right now, if God tests

your car to the fire comes up something else. God tests your exercise book

through the fire comes out like ashes like that. No, friends, that's

not what really the fires went for. Fire is really to test your faith.

God doesn't need to test your back account because your Bay account no faith.

Think about it. A lot of people say God wants my money.

No, friends, God doesn't need your money. If God doesn't actually to

bun money for him, so it doesn't need your money. It doesn't ney

houses from you know God, No, friends, God doesn't need the house.

Don't Please do not burn the house go. God doesn't any burn offerings

that way, right, So he uses fire to reveal he did not use

water. He used fire. Because if we ever have encounter with five all

its heart, it's uncomfortable, it changes, not a nice feeling, but

it draws out what's already in there. Friends, impurity is already in there.

It draws it out. So the next day, why you go to

troul and you something many fairs, something is being revealed. In other words,

it's already in there. You can't go and say that I never had

the anger issue until I marry you. You brought out the anger in me.

Friends, Maybe you really had the anger issue eating you already, your

friends. So God allows a wife, precious wife in your life to draw

it out. Friends, when you draw the anger, friends, not for

you to display your anger. And that's keeping back again and polish it.

And the anger is supposed to be dealt with and surrendered before the Lord.

That's what imprinted us when it comes out, threw it away. But better

the impurity is being shown all impurity and then put it back in again.

That's what we never deal with issues that we do with mindset, keep going

back the same mountain for forty years. When imputies are being shown, come

on, some of us still keeping tuple. Weest that you they want to

pass out to our grand children. I understand that. Okay, we have

this, this this tap thing in our house, you pass on from our

grandmother's to now. No, first, I agree somethings that will keeping one

hall loom. All those must keep one. Okay, don't throw away,

okay, don't show very important to keep, but something away, you know,

I mean take away to wears you're still keeping it one day we've got

used for it. It's like the impluties is being shown right now in our

life. We are supposed to get rid of it instead of incompeting it back

into our faith. How many times you want to go through the fire to

review the same things? How many times you want a lot to bring you

to the fire to review the same thing we should have let go in the

beginning? Maybe the first time, maybe we're blur the first time, we

do not know, But second time, third time, fourth time? How

many times we want to go through the same fire to review the same thing

and not dealing with it? And this only the lot wants to just encourage

your offense and encourage. You all say that your faith is far more precious

than any goal, more valuable. So when your faith remains strong too many

trials, Liza, your faith remains strong show many trials. Many times you

want only one trial. It's like the year and exam. That's it.

One exam, one year to go. Do you want to deal with exams

anymore? Some of you, I know the big exceptional one. When you

finish an exam, you prepare for the next exam immediately, really praise a

lot. Good for you. But many after if we except what do we

do? We enjoy it? Right? You go cinema? You just want

to study. But the Bible here says that your faith remains strong to many

trials. In other words, when you have strong faith, you can also

have weak faith, because weak faith come and we never learned from our trials.

So that it will bring much praise and glory and honor to the day

when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole earth. Friends, we can be

fully convinced because Abraham kept on hoping even though there's no reason to hope.

Abraham kept on hoping when there's no reason to hope anymore. When God gave

the promise to Abram. He was more than one hundred years old, and

Sarah's will die. So in two congression I spoke to I spoke so passionately.

I kept saying Abraham like m hm. Abraham was past the age.

And you know what happens when God giving him a promise. Every day he's

been reminded of his own he wakes out everything. Look at the reflection in

the lake, reminding of his old every day. If we take showers every

day, it reminds him that he's old. Could you imagine? Might not

God give you a promise? And God give you a promise and every day

a circumsances that everyday, daily circumstances remind you that it is impossible. And

that's what Abram went through. But besides everything, all these circumstances, he

held on to hope. Very important to be fully confisced, you need to

keep on holding on the God's promise. You need to keep on holding on

the God's promise, friends, because without keeping on holding the promise, friends,

we will just allow the exceller circumstances to dictate how we should leave.

You're oh, it is so therefore you're just waiting to die. Know who

says, so, who said, so you're you're in your forties? Really

then you live half of your life the other half are you? Just who

says? So there's no there is life after forty friends? Someone say,

a man, There's still so many things the Lord wants. Some of you

have not been for missions. You need to embark on the mission trip.

Save have never served a lot before. Go and serve one time. Not

least you're like it's a simple story. Or just go and serve one time

first and see how it Lord leads you. Go for a mission trip right,

because it will change your perspective of life. Bring your children with you.

It will change your life Jurio's perspective. So Abraham hope against hope.

He trusted the Lord, and the Lord allowed him to see come to us.

Romans Chapter four was nineteen. So Abrahm fifth, no, we can.

Even though he was hungry years of age. He figured his body was

good as they, and so was Sarah's womb. Abraham never wavered in believing

God's promise. In fact, his faith grew stronger in this. He brought

glory to God. Just allow me to show you this, all right,

Abraham got give him a promise, like right now, God has given you

promises's right in your journey. You have sudent scripture, you're holding onto it.

But the promise shouldn't just remain in the journal of fans. Because Isaac

came, not because of a wishful thinking. Isaac came. Wasn't a supernatural

act. Abraham still have to do the act. Do you understand? Okay?

Because of Tanney, I cannot say to watch right, abrahams have to

do the act. Okay, promise, but he must be led to action.

Promise it must be led to action. But a lot of time we

receive a promise, it gets stuck in our journey, promise, it gets

stuck in our Bible reading. But when you receive God's promise, it must

be led to an action. The action produces Isaac. But many times God,

I answering your promise. I know you, I know you have a

plan for me, plan to prosper me, not to harm me, tran

to give me a future and hope. Yes, I understand all this,

Lord, But no action therefore no result. And many times say this okay

memorized more scripture memorized go ahead as long as you don't be fully convinced,

don't take faith. It's okay, just remain there. Have all the Bible

versions you ever wanted. All right, study hebiw greet, go for it,

but no faith by action. Therefore no Isaac and many Christians. I

just share because I know God is able to but I'm not fully convinced,

fully convinced. So Romans Chapter four reminds us Abraham was hungry years old,

hunger years old. Friends, the promise came to Abraham, not to the

wife. You know, he still has to tell the wife. He still

have to convince the wife. Yeah, either be fully convinced or you're not

convinced at all. So Abram did not waiver in believing God's promise. Friends,

I want to let you know something Abram wasn't got out here, okay,

because something you think he's got no friends, Abraham believed God. He

did not allow the scripts of the time that it's impossible. You feel nothing

will happen, you will not have a child. But in fact, his

faith grew stronger, even true the environments they cannot. I want you to

just let that sink into your spirit. Abraham faith grew stronger. Even though

environmentally it's impossible. Have your faith grew stronger, even though in the midst

of a trial. That's why it's important for us. I have hoping God

friends. I'm not here to school anybody. I'm just here the encouraged.

The Lord just want them to me just a couple of weeks ago. Encourage

the Tenterity service because they need some encouragement. You can go to life friends.

We try, and we have everything or planning for you. But every

human plan is not as good as God's plan, as good as God's plan.

And you're hoping for this thing will turn around, maybe this opportunity to

come up and stuff like that, but maybe something stay longer. But you

and I shouldn't give a hoping in the Lord's promise. So Abram did not

waver in his faith, friends, because he keep on trusting on the goodness

of God. Some of us here need to just focus on God's goodness.

We can have hope. One final point is is that because of Jesus,

we can have hope. Because of Jesus, John sixteen, verse thirty one,

listen to do more scriptures. Okay, just allow me to more scriptures?

All right? So sorry for taking so long. I know you're normally

and slightly earlier than this, but just allow me to just preach you,

all right, John sixteen, verse thirty one. Right, do you finally

do you finally believe? Hey, Liza, do you finally believe? I

read I read this. I just truly believe that this is what God is

speaking to us? Do you finally believe? After you heard so many messages

right in your Christian world? Do you finally believe? Do you now believe?

Do you finally believe? Church? Come on your in your own spirit?

You only you know the internal answered of that. Do you finally believe?

We can leave church afterwards? I have a good time fellowship and every

day, But do you finally believe? It says? It goes on?

All right? Let me new living translations? Right, but the time is

coming. Indeed, He's here now when you be scattered, each and everyone,

each and each each one going his own way, leaving me alone.

Okay, this right now is the situation the disciples all going to desert Jesus.

He's going to be left alone to face the cross. God knows every

person's journey. Why do I mean my dad? Because there will be days

in your life whereby you felt all alone. You say, God doesn't understand.

He understands. He already said that you will leave me. I'll be

alone. You'll leave me, I'll be alone. And many times now journeys

don't do. Do you ever felt that way before? Yes, you could

be surrounded by you're alone in your situation. Alone in that situation, God

wants some minister to the heart. This morning, the people around you left

you. That your closest connection, we left your lives, your support system

left you. You're alone, and the many hearts. It just felt so

alone here in this place. Because sometimes it's not because of anybody, but

it happens. It happens on friends. I'm not putting the fault anybody,

but it happened. Friends. You go to life, you just felt so

alone. God wants some minister to you. It says, here, yet

I'm not alone. This Jesus encouragement to your Yet I'm not alone because the

Father is with me. Yet I'm not alone. The next time you felt

so alone, be encouraged. You are not the next time you felt like

your awfully just felt so alone, just by yourself, just notice that you

are not alone. The next time, the important decision have to make between

between your future and this stuff Like that, I felt that you're alone having

to make the decision. Just notice that you're not. You're not. You're

not the next time you reas it a relative in the hospital, just all

by yourself, having to care for someone parking and looking for Kappa. Not

just day one, maybe day five, days six, really felt so alone,

so tired, so drained. Just notice you're not alone. You are

not alone. The Father is with you. Jesus is with you, because

in our daily life, when we feel a lot, we've drop off the

metma first the retreat. I've told you all this so that you may have

peace. Friends, God wants you to know. This peace of God cannot

be purchased, cannot be bought. No fluffiest pillow out there can guarantee this

peace. No bank account can give you this piece. No human connection,

any that or any billionaire, nothing can give you this peace. Even though

if you know any primis or president, nothing can give you this peace of

God. You may not understand, You may not know because I know I

have this piece. No friends, I can guarantee you. The human connection

will fail. Jesus saying that in me you have peace. Come on right

now, church, todraw your peace from the Lord. Don't draw it from

the world promises the securities from the world. Right if we give you temporarily,

friends, temporari not say don't have but God for shot wow, relieve

or short wow. But God's peace is everlasting. It says, I've told

you all these if you have a peace in me. But here on earth

you have trials and sorrow. Here on earth you have trials and sorrow.

Friends. God uses the trials and sorrows here on earth to profy your faith.

God uses the trials here on earth to proify your faith so that it

can become stronger. But here on these earth, friends, you have trouals

and sorrow. But take heart, be encouraged. But be encouraged. The

Bible says I've overcome the world. As I draw this so close, Friends,

you can have hoping God. Because God is thinking about you, thinking

about you now, your boyfriend, your friend, husband, and wife.

God is thinking about you, not some that down street. About all these

is okay, But this is the Lord. The Lord is thinking about you,

not just thinking about your friends. Sometimes you can think about but don't

plan you can think of a person but no plan. Yeah, I thought

about you, but and don't know you know what I mean. I thought

about you, but yeah, maybe buy a couple of person. But God

says, I thought about you. I also have a plan for you,

trand to give you a hope in the future of future and the hope sorry,

plan to prosper you, not to harm you, give you a peace,

not for evil. God's plan. So we can't hope because God is

thinking about you. We can we hope because God is able to God's able

to do what he promises. Friends, God is able to do what he

promises. Believe in the types of vice. Everything is so unsure right now

that the only constant is God. Some people say only consent is changed.

But the only constant is God and his character and his nature, his goodness

that will change. We can rejoice friends, because nothing ever the surprise God,

and friends, nothing ever surprised God. You know I got some friend,

God said, I already know nothing. So you and I today,

friends need to be assured that fully convinces that God's able to do by way

promise, but finally hope because of Jesus, he has overcome every trials,

every sorrow, it's be encouraged. The Bible now says, come on,

be happy, I've over come. No, be encouraged, because he knows

that he's the people his believers need encouragement. Because nobody goes through our trials

or a challenge. Our friends come out saying that I love this trial,

I love this challenge. Let's go again. Nobody. I don't think so

anyone like that. Nobody say that. I just went to, like,

you know, for the five complaints. I went to all the complex emails

I'm looking for for next day, for another self complaints of emails because I

love I eat, complaints for breakfast. I don't think anyone's like that.

But if you happened before in the category, the Lord gives you grace.

But I think majority of us on this side, right, we don't like

problems. We don't like. But every child drains you. Every challenges drains

you, rob your encouragement, robs you off the peace of God. He

wants to encourage you this morning church, as I close and I want to

pray. He pushed up the twelve verse one. Therefore, let us stoop

away every week that slows us down. Let us strip away every week that

slows us down. So if this impurity that you have, I mean,

the Bible says us asking this trade away, just the words let it go.

You're surrounded by people who went before you. Encouragement, people went before

you, and therefore let us run the endurance run me and the Bible don't

say let us run with power, because if it's just power, friends,

then we would fail by endurance. Because life is a journey, no short

destination. It is a journey. Problems doesn't just come systematically. You know,

friends, if we can organize our problems, are that's so good,

right, Okay, when you're coming through your stamma, right, if it's

so good, if you can organize our problem. No, it just comes

like a teeth in a nightwine. It does. But I'll respond to the

problem is equally more important. So let us let go of every where that

sloses down because we're running a race of endurance. We can only run the

race of endurance. And he wish to twal verse two by fixing our eyes

on Jesus Church. No matter what you go through in your life right now,

the good the bad, continue to fix your eyes on Jesus. Really,

continue to fix your eyes on Jesus. If your parents right now with

young kids, fix your eyes on Jesus because only he is able to guide

you, lead you how to raise up your kid. There's all books out

there, but fix your eyes on Jesus. Every one young looking a doubt,

wondering about your future, fix your eyes on Jesus. Ask him,

Invite him into your work environment. Say God, would you lead me and

guide me? I need you. If you're a tough situation, fix your

eyes on Jesus. That's why we can have hope, friends, That's why

we can have a future. Your future doesn't depend on the environment. If

it's just an environment, friends, then God will give us a passport.

A minute, we got safe, get this magical passport. We'll all all

go to that place. Every bevery happy after that. But your future comes

from knowing that He has a plan for you. There's plans for you are

for good, not for evil, And all we need to do is to

be fully convinced what God has promised he can bring it to pass. 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. I hit

for you, God bless
