Witnessing | Joy Teh

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

will light up your day. You know our five WS in our church,

right mm hmmm, okay, So the first W wordship, the word warmed,

works, and witness. Okay for those of you who have been with

X, you know, even if you are hearing this for the first time,

that's all right. But this is our DNA and what we really really

believe here even in X. Today, I want to touch on the fifth

W, the last and the final W, which is witnessing. That's something

that I think I personally am the weakest at and I'm not sure about some

of you, but that's what the Lord also has been speaking to me,

and I pray that this will be a blessing to all of you as well.

I would like to share on witnessing today and I've taken some of I've

taken some of my notes out from our Experienced book and that Pastor Canist wrote,

And if you have not gotten hold of this book, you should so

that you know the DNA of our church and what we really believe in now

life is a mission. That's my first point today. So I have three

simple, well treated four simple points today, do we all believe that?

Now? A famous evangelist one say this, a church that does not reach

the laws is loss itself. Do you agree? So, if we are

not reaching the laws, if we call ourselves the church, we are lost

ourselves, all right. So a church must reach the laws, and if

not, then we are not the church, because the Church of God have

to reach the laws. Now, let me read from X chapter twenty.

Now I have in my slight in the New Living Translation verse twenty four.

Okay, of X chapter twenty, this was what Paul. He was speaking

to the elders of the church in full right. So in verse twenty four

he said, but my life is worth nothing to me unless I use it

for finishing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus, the work of telling

others the good news about the wonderful grace of God. Now I want to

read a bit before that, a few verses before verse twenty four in the

New King James version, starting from verse seventeen. So again this was Paul

speaking to the elders of Ephesus. So in verse seventeen he said, from

Militius, he sent to Ephesus and called for the elders of the church.

And when he had come to him, he said to them, you know

from the first day that I came to Asia in what manner I always lived

among you, serving the Lord with all humility, with many tears and trials

which happened to me by the plotting of the Jews. How I kept back

nothing that was helpful, but proclaimed it to you and taught you publicly and

from house to house verse twenty one, testifying to Jews and also to Greeks

repentance towards God, and faith towards our Lord Jesus Christ. And see now

I go bound in the spirit to Jerusalem, not knowing the things that will

happen to me there, except in verse twenty three, that the Holy Spirit

testifies in every city, saying that chains and tribulations await me. So Paul

was telling the elders that he knows what is ahead of him. But in

verse twenty four he told the elders this, that even though what is ahead

of him is change, imprisonment, persecution, he told them this, but

none of these things. So these things that he's talking about is the persecution

that he's going to face, all right, So the persecution is going to

face They're going to put him in prison, bullying, in chains, these

things. None of these things to move me, nor do I count my

life dear to myself. That's what Paul say in the New King James version,

so that I may finish my race with joy, Wow. And the

ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus to testify to the gospel of the

grace of God. Paul was very clear of his ministry. His ministry was

to testify of the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. And hence to him

well, and I pray to all of us as well. His life means

nothing unless he finished the work that God has assigned him to do. All

right, turn to your neighbor, it said, I have work assigned for

me. Turn to the other neighbor. God has assigned a work for me

very good. So, regardless whether we choose to believe it or not,

our over arching purpose in life is to please God. Do you agree with

that? Agree that? Can I hear an amen? Our overarching purpose in

life? Yeah, not to make babies, not to earn a lot of

money. It's all important, all important, But the most important purpose is

to please God. And how do we please God? And the only way

to please God is to obey God. You cannot say you love God and

don't obey him, right, You tell that your kids still you say you

obey me. You have me, you say you love me, you have

to obey me. Right, Yes, for parents speaking the kids. Right.

So the only way to please God is to obey him and in whatever

that he tells us to do, and that and that our entire life is

a mission. Okay. So when we entered God's family, right, God

crowned us as one of his children. So remember we were saved by grace

and into the family of God. Right, and we inherited what just like

some of us sometimes we inherit things from our grandfather, great great grandfather father.

Inherit means you didn't earn it, you inherited it. So we inherited

family business from the Lord. What do you think is God's business? The

business of saving souls, that's right. So the work of saving souls is

our family business that you and I inherited when we came into the family of

God. Okay, So you cannot tell your father, your grandfather, I

don't want this inheritance and it's given to you, and that, okay,

what you want to do with it. Of course, you can have a

choice of what you do with it, but it's given to you. And

just when God call us into his family, the work of saving souls become

our family business. And we're not just saving souls from being cheated, you

know, losing money, but saving souls from an eternity without God. All

right, Church, So if we genuinely love the Lord, and I know

all of us love the Lord, today you know why you are here.

We're all here because we love the Lord, and we have experienced the love

of Christ in our lives. And if you have not, but you happen

to be here. I prayed that at the end of this service today you

will give your heart to Jesus to have that personal work with Jesus. All

right, So all of us we genuine love the Lord and we have a

personal relationship with Him, and because of that, it is natural for us

to develop a heart of compassion for people, even if in the past,

before we came to know the Lord, we have never felt that way before,

meaning we just do our own thing with my our own business, and

we never felt that way for other people. But because of our relationship with

the Lord. Now he creates that purpose in our lives. So God designed

us with certain talents and abilities. Do you know that there are a lot

of things that you can do, Graham, that I cannot do. But

there are some things I can do when we Eliza can't do. Okay.

So God designed all of us with certain talents and abilities that will lead us

into specific I would say, specific wherever He is leading you to, your

school, your workplace, your family. You must way, why am I

in the world in this place? God has led you there? And if

you are there, he has a plan for you right specific school, workplace,

or even positions of influence to rich people that nobody can accept you.

And that is your mission. Fuel Turn to your neighbor and say, I

have a mission. Film very good, all right that one neighbor. Later

the other side, okay, later, all right, I have a mission.

Feel So, what is the great commission of the Lord to all of

us? I'm sure we can recite it, right Mattel twenty eighth, verses

eighteen to twenty. Jesus came and told his disciples we should memorize this,

and we memorize and if you can put at the door post of your door

or your car, and every day you remind yourself God, this is your

commission to me. This is my life purpose. Jesus came and told his

disciples he has so many things to tell your disciples before he ascended to heaven,

but he chose this. Okay, okay, I have given I have

been given all authority in heaven and on earth new living translation. Therefore,

go and make disciples for all the nations, baptizing them in the name of

the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. And that's why water butters

is so important. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commandments I have

given you, and be sure of this. And I love it. God

didn't just give us a commission without assuring us. He gave us a commission,

and he assured us be sure of this. Are you sure that I

am with you always, even to the end of the age. Now,

mission m SiO n is not spelled as mem SiO n right, not me

mission all right. So Jesus wants us to know that when we try so

hard to make something of our lives. So if you say the great commission,

might is to go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them,

teaching them dah, and he said, I'm with you. And even in

Mattel six, Study three, he says that sick for the kingdom of God

and all his righteouses and all the things will be added onto you. God

always teaches us to obey first, and then the blessing will come. Right,

okay, so always teach us that. So, but sometimes we try

so hard to make something of our lives. Right, We try so hard,

okay, but we lose ourselves in trying to achieve that. But if

we will be obedient to follow God doing the things that he calls us to

do instead, and sometimes what he calls us to do might require some dying

to self like okay, to our own carnal nature, our carnal desires,

we would find true meaning in living, immen, Life is found in living

for others. So turn to your other neighbor just now that you did not

say and say life is found in living in living for others too long?

Right? Life is found in living for others. Do you agree, Church?

Do you agree life is found in living for others? So if only

we will be obedient to follow God and just like what He has promised us,

He will be with us always and instead he will give us all that

we need, and we do not need to be the ones fighting for it

and finding it for ourselves. Amen. Amen. So that's my first point,

okay, as I draw out, even from the book and also from

the world of God, that our life is a mission. That God of

all well commandments, or we call it commission, he chose the commission,

the Great Commission, to be the very last word before he assented to heaven.

Nothing else can be the importance of the Great Commission in our Christian life.

Amen. Amen. So life is a mission, meaning we have no

greater purpose in life but to live out the will of God for our lives.

Amen. Now. And the second part, the second point that I've

drawn out from here of being a witness is being a witness for Christ.

Now, what's the meaning of witness? Drawing out the meaning the actual meaning

of witness? Okay, So the fifth w is witnessing, right, our

five ws The fifth w is witnessing. So let us first understand what witnessing

is. So when you say witness, what picture comes to mind? Any

lawyers in the house. I'm no lawyer, so I have no idea what

happens in the court room. Do you'all have any idea? So I went

to search some picture. I got found one picture. Okay, okay,

cause I fought found a few picture, but I chose this one. Imagine,

okay, so what what what picture comes to your mind of a witness,

someone testifying something. Yeah, and then like you know, I don't

know, they raise the super hand and then they say, you know,

okay, I promise to say whatever. Then then they say that what what

what are they doing? They are just testifying what they seen, they heard,

or they yeah, or they know that's it correct, Okay. So

that's what I can imagine as well. So I can imagine, yes,

someone standing in front of the lawyers, the judge, the jury and giving

an account of what happened. Okay. So so usually when you a witness

is called to stand, he or she is expected to tell exactly what happened.

Cannot add anything, one cannot at salt at whatever, right, just

say it as it is, okay. So that's what we call a court

house testimony, all right, a courthouse testimony. So, and that is

exactly what we are called to do to be we are called to be a

witness. So a witness, for Christ just means telling people what you know,

what you have seen, what you have heard, all right, So

witnessing is merely telling something that you have personally experienced before. You can't tell

someone something that you don't know, right, I can't, Okay, So

you can only tell them something that you have tasted, you have experienced before.

Right. So it is about more moddingling out to others what following Jesus

really means. So witnessing besides telling, So, of course witnessing is more

than just using our mouth to tell, to share. It's also about modeling

out to others what following Jesus really means. And it happens twenty four to

seven months. It's no such thing as today it's my day to be a

witness. Tomorrow I'm not a witness, okay, no such thing okay,

okay. So it's a natural thing that comes from our life of following Jesus.

So we should not even need to think too hard about it because it's

something that should come naturally. Right. It becomes a part a lifestyle,

a part of who we are. But so often we become a bit afraid

when we talk about this word winnessing. Honestly, I am also why not

okay, witness to your neighbor, oh, Dear God, the counting and

that, yeah you think, Lord, you know you think like that,

okay, or witness to someone that you meant at the now. We don't

wait for buses anymore, right, Sometimes we wait or we're waiting for something,

or you're in line, you're queuing, or you met someone. Yeah,

we're afraid to tell about Jesus because we're afraid to be maybe bombarded with

questions about the faith, and sometimes we feel that you are not ready to

answer, or sometimes maybe they don't agree with what you say. But in

reality, most people are okay, or they are happy to at least hear

your testimony. They are happy to hear your story of how you know Jesus

and who is this Jesus to you and how you have walk with Him and

the stories it's like telling a story about your own life. Most people are

okay with that, right. We are happy to hear that how God has

transformed your life, how you you went through a difficult time and you pray,

and how God came true for you, or how God healed you how

God helped you through that difficult relationship or that difficult time. Yeah. So

most of the time people are okay to hear or happy to hear what God

has done. So that's the meaning of being a witness. Now, let's

look at some verses in X, right, So the first one is X

chapter one, verse eight. Let's read. I'm reading from two translations here.

Let's draw out from the Word of God. Are we going with that?

Now? In ex Church, of course, we show you the verses

on the screen to help all of us, because some of us could be

new here and we don't even own our own Bibles. But for the rest

of us, we encourage and I echo what passa can I say as well?

We encourage you to bring your bibles, your physical bibles to church.

And let's turn to the Word of God, and let's read the Word of

God together. So in X chapter one, verse eight, it says,

you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you

shall be witnesses to me in Jerusalem and in all JUDAEI and Samira and to

the end of the earth. So listen carefully. When Jesus said, you

shall receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you shall be

what There's only one thing that you just say, my witnesses to me.

That's in the New King James in a New Living Transition. It says,

you will see power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will

be my witnesses telling people about me everywhere in Jerusalem, to our Judaea,

in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth. So we receive the

power of the Holy Spirit. And here we read before we all know the

dynamite power of the Holy Spirit that is given to you and I is for

us to be a witness, so that we can testify of the goodness of

God to others wherever God has placed us, to our Jerusalem and then the

Judaea and the Samaria all right now in X twenty two, verse fifteen,

for you are to be his witness, telling everyone what you have seen and

heard. Again, so it shows us the meaning of being a witness.

A witness is basically telling someone, telling everyone what you have seen and what

you have heard. Now, I know, but we didn't see Jesus in

person, like yeah, yeah, yeah, but we all know Jesus and

you experience Jesus. So that's what we are going to share about. We

share about what Jesus has done and how he has changed our hearts and our

lives. Amen, extra the ten Versus thirty nine to forty one. And

we apostles are witnesses again, witnesses of all he did throughout Judai and in

Jerusalem they put him to death by hanging him on across. But God raised

him to life on the third day. Then God allowed him to appear not

to the general public, but to us, whom God has chosen in advance

to be again his witnesses. We are those who ate and drank with him

after he rose on the day. So, of course the apostles at that

time they had first hand experience in meeting Jesus, touch him, you know,

eat with him, talk to him, joke with him, you know

whatever. Right, Yeah, And after Jesus was respected, he was found

eating again. Jesus not and then called them to eat, and then eat

and then again their fellowship, and they broke bread and they ate. So

of course the apostles at that time, when they were saying it, they

said to be his witnesses, to testify of all that they had seen and

heard. Today, you and I are also called the same anointing, the

same Holy Spirit has been given to us to be His witnesses. Can I

hear an amen for that? A man? Hallelujah? Sorry, okay,

I read all that's right. So in the original Bible text written in Greek,

okay, the word martyrs use for witness. So actually the word witness

in the original Greek means martyrs, and martyrs actually means marth okay, So

let's understand further understand the meaning of witness. So the meaning of witness in

the original text, it just means mather and that is a pretty strong word,

right, so you'll know what's a martyr. So a martha, according

to the Oxford Dictionary, okay, is one who is killed or suffers persecution

because of his, saw her religious or other beliefs. So generally that's the

definition. So someone is called a marthyr when they are killed or they suffered

a lot for the sake of what they believe in. So that is the

true meaning and the original meaning of the word witness. So to be a

witness of a Christ, that is the price that we pay, all right,

So being a witness a matter for Christ completely redefines our purpose in life.

Remember the first point we started. If our life is a mission,

we are on a mission. Church, We are on a mission, and

God has given us the great commission right and our life we can live as

a witness for Jesus. So our life is not about us. Yes,

it's not about So tell yourself, my life is not about me. You're

telling your sinful self, your corner self, my life is not about me.

It's not about our fame, our feelings and fears. Doesn't that put

a little bit of perspective? Sometimes sometimes it does for me. I just

need to remember why I exist again, because sometimes we are so caught up

right and we get upset asla you upsellah with either husband whi children, and

you get caught up in your day today, and sometimes you need to take

a moment to just remember what God has called you. Imen, that God

has called each and every one of us for the great commission in man.

So it defines again, it really defines the purpose in our lives, that

it's not about our own fame, our feelings, and our fears. And

sometimes we fight so much for our rights, we fight so much for our

fame or our face. You know, in the Asian culture, right,

the muker very important when the mooker get the face or I don't know what

people say about us or what people think about us and want to be right,

you know that kind of thing. Okay hah. But it's all about

him, and not only it's about him, if you hear the Great Commission,

it is about them, the loss that God is waiting for us.

Yeah, okay. And it is not just about adding another soul to the

number. Okay today we okay, we're five more salvation. Yeah. And

that see not just about statistics and you know, for the sake of bragging

about it, but it's having a sincere, heartbreaking desire to see people,

say, see people coming to the saving knowledge of God, seeing people being

free from their fears and their past, and seeing people moving forward to live

fulfilling, purpose driven lives in God. Amen a man, hallelujah. Now,

as we move on, as I mentioned, I recap again, our

live is a mission. Let's all be witnessed for Christ because that's who He

has called us to be. But very importantly, let us also remember that

witnessing is a natural byproduct of knowing God. All right, It's a natural

byproduct of knowing God. I think the Elder King spoke about knowing God.

I think two Sundays ago or yeah, just recently okay, and again very

good message. If you miss it, you can also hear it last week

positive our lead pastor from x UK for those of you who are not around,

he spoke here as well. If you miss it, you can also

hear our message on our message to go and here here and hear the word

of God. Amen. Amen. So when we know God, it will

be natural for us to share about God. Because again, you can only

be a witness of someone or something that you personally have experienced. So we

can only make Jesus known to others when we truly know Him for ourselves,

and when we experience more of God in our lives, it becomes more and

more natural and automatic right to share about Jesus. Okay, because we have

a firsthand and a personal and in depth knowledge of who He is. We

are not just talking about someone we heard about, right or now. Okay,

you might need to ask yourself that question. Okay, if you can

share it in that way that you really know God, probably is time for

you to again experience God for your own self. All right, amen,

So if we have tasted the goodness of the Lord, is normal for you

to share about that news about how good that this Jesus is correct. So

it's like recommending a good place to eat. How many you like to recommend

places to eat? Yeah yeah, okay, not really for me, but

it's okay, Yeah I like hearing it, but I naturally don't do that.

Okay, not soul foody, but yes, but yeah, it's like

recommending a good place to But I've seen people so passionate about food. I've

seen the passion in your face. Okay. So so it's like recommending a

good place to eat. So nothing beats having to have eaten in the restaurant.

Can you eaten in that restaurant and you can share? Oh, you

must order this and you go there? This is this is is right?

Okay, this is the best, is the best, It is the best.

Oh ah, I can do this a good place to shop ah and

find good stuff? Okay, I can, I can. Okay, So

nothing beats giving that personal testimony of hey, I tell you this place is

the best place to find. This is the antis away Okay, depending on

what we're talking about, Okay, whether it's food girl, whether it's choice

of clothes Skirl or other grocery Skirl. You know what I mean? Yes,

and you are able to convince your other the person you're speaking to you

will not regret money if you go to that restaurant ha ha ha, or

you go to the shop. Are you you sure no, won't regret?

Okay? We can be so good at it people, Why can't we talk

about Jesus that way? Come to church? You're sure not regret unless you're

not sure? IM not sure? Again? Sometimes so not as you must

be sure. So that's where we got to ask ourselves, are we really

sure? Do we really know our God? Because if we are sure,

right, just Invitela, I don't worry. God will do the rest.

Amen. Amen. Okay. So in Psum study four verds. It tastes

and see that the Lord is good. Now all of us we have.

I hope and I pray that all of us we have tasted and see that

the Lord is good. Amen. Now if you have not, like I

say again today you are seated here. You have never tasted how good God

is? I prayed today you will. So it's like saying to your friend,

hey, I tasted the goodness of the Lord, why not you come

and taste and see. So the question for all of us is, have

we tasted the goodness of the Lord? Do we really know our God?

So? Because for those of us who have tasted and know our God,

then the question is, like I say, all of us, we have

taste the goodness of God. Okay, what is stopping us from sharing or

recommending our God to our friends? Okay? Is it? Because ha ha

Listenah, so sometimes we taste mo, we go and visit the restaurant and

then we don't quite like it? Will you recommend? Unless we're saying that

we have tasted God but we didn't quite like it? Oh, okay,

we didn't quite like the style. Girl, it comes to a clothing shop,

Yeah, I didn't quite like the quality the style whatever, or the

food or didn't like the surveys I didn't like. Okay, right, the

water, the wayter us. Okay, Unless we're saying that we don't quite

like what we have tasted, I believe not all right. If all of

us who have truly tasted the goodness of God in our lives, we will

be able to share with others the goodness of the Lord. Amen. Amen.

So sometimes we just go to us ourselves. Do we really know our

God? So now? And these are some things that maybe can help us

to reflect and to think about whether or not we truly know our God.

I have a slight there when we still believe in him even when we don't

see him. So ours ourselves, do we still believe in him when we

don't see him? Because if we, if we know the God whom we

serve, it may not be that we will see everything that we ask for

immediately when we feel we can, when we feel safe, sure and scire,

even when God is silent, Because sometimes God can be silent on us

all right, when we receive no answer, but we still feel asshured.

Do you feel asshured even when God didn't answer? So now, of course

I will say most times, God, in his mercy and he's in his

grace, he will answer us and he always does immen, He will answer,

He will give it to us, he will show us. He will

and I know he is able and he will come true for all of us

sometimes a matter of time. And maybe it's in the mass that he wants

to do it for you. I'm not God, but only God will know,

right, Yeah, But sometimes we can't see it. When we are

in our situation, we cannot see the end of the tunnel. So when

we don't see, we feel God is silent. When we don't see,

we feel God is lost. God, you don't know what's going on.

I don't think you remember me. You've forgotten me. But can you still

feel assured? Do you know your God? Or only you only can recognize

his blessings, but you cannot recognize the God who gives you that blessing.

Amen. We know our God when we know who he is, his nature,

and his character, not just in the blessings and in the answer that

he gives to us in Hebrews eleven, verse six. And we almost all

of us can even remember this verse. But without faith, it is impossible

to please him. For he who comes to God must believe that he is,

and that he is a reward of those who diligionists sic him. It

didn't say must believe that he will give me the blessing I ask, for

He is who he is, and he is a rewarder, regardless of when

he gives you the reward, or whether he gives you in a way that

you ask for He is who he is, and he is a rewarder of

those who diligionist say kime amen. So our focus on our trans must be

placed in God's character who he really is, and not not in the outcome

of the situation. The Bible says that he is a rewarder. That's right

now. In John seventeen three, which I find is very interesting. Here

in John seventeen, verse three, Jesus was saying that, right, this

is eternal life that they may know you. O. So Jesus was saying

that this is eternal life and that day his disciples may know you. God

the Father, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have

sent. He's talking to his disciples. So here, if you can see

in this verse eternal life, it didn't say that. In the verse right

go to Heaven know. It says, what this is eternal life? What

is eternal life that they may know you? Turn to your neighbor and say,

eternal life is knowing God. Turn to the other neighbor and say,

louder, eternal life is knowing God. It's so funny, Okay, Yes,

eternal life is knowing God. It's not just about going to heaven,

going to heaven. You will go to heaven. Praise the Lord. All

right, we will go to heaven. But eternal life is knowing God.

Evenal life starts now. Now, it's a total life, eternal life because

you know God now here on earth. And yes, you'll go to heaven

now. So when you know God, you have eternal life. And when

you know God, you not only know what God can do for you.

And that's what we always emphasize. God can. God can heal you,

God can set you free. God can. But do you know that there

are some things that God cannot do. Bless for me, Ah, very

good, me, very good? What else? God cannot sing? Because

sometimes right if you stop there, God cannot cannot be mind. Nothing is

impossible with God. Why so of course God can. Okay, But it's

true, Yes, there are things that God cannot do. God cannot lie

is the first one. God cannot be unfaithful. The Bible says that God

cannot deny himself and he will remain faithful no matter what. And God cannot

stop loving you. Now, let's look into the verses of where we can

find this. God cannot lie In numbers twenty three verse nineteen. God is

not a man that he should lie, nor a son of men that he

should repent. Has he said and will he not do? Or has he

spoken and will he not make it good? Basically, all the words that

is said in the Bible will come to us, whether we believe it or

not. Meaning is he like one of us? They say it in they

never do one? Sometimes we are like that, right, okay, But

what he has spoken, he will surely make it come to us. And

that's where God cannot lie. So if he said that he has set you

free, you are free. Amen. Amen. And God cannot be unfaithful.

The next one, the Bible says that God cannot deny himself. In

second Timothy to search up to two vers the Dean, if we are faithless,

he remains faithful. So even though sometimes we choose to walk away from

him, we choose to say no to him and recited to walk our own

way, God cannot deny himself and he will still be faithful to us.

Amen. Amen. And again, and he doesn't stop here yet. I

drew out tree, but I'm sure there are more, all right, Okay,

God cannot stop loving you. Do you believe that I think some of

us need to believe that today. Okay, some of us need to believe

that today. Let's read in Romans Chapter eight, verse thirty one, all

all the way to thirty nine. But I believe that God was speaking to

some of us today as well. Okay, do you know your God?

And do you know what he can do and what he cannot do? And

he cannotop loving you? Let's read verse thirty one. What then shall we

say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against

us? If he who did not spare his own son, but delivered him

up for all of us, how shall he not with him also freely give

us all things? Who shall bring a charge against God's elects? It is

God who justifies. Who is he who condemns? It is Christ to die.

And furthermore is also Risen, who is even at the right hand of

God and also makes intercession for us. Who shall separate us from the love

of Christ? Shall tribulation or distress, or persecution, of famine, or

nickness, or perial or sword? As it is written, for your sake,

we are killed all day long. We are accounted as sheep for the

slaughter. Yet in all all these things we are more than conquerors to Him

who love us. Amen. For I am persuaded that neither death, nor

life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present,

not things to come, nor height, not that nor any other created thing

shall be able to separate us from the Love of God, which is in

Christ Jesus our Lord. Amen. Amen. Nothing can separate us from the

love of God. And may because God is speaking the some of us today,

and this is the part of God that you will need to know for

yourself. Then, no matter how far you think you have gone away from

the Lord, no matter how bad your sin were, you can still return

to Him. And God is here with you and he will forgive you.

Hallelujah, Amen a man, hallelujah. Now, as we draw to a

close again in our church, our five w's, our worship, word,

warm, works, and witness again we really understand all five. We will

realize that the fifth w witnessing is by far the most important w of all.

Why because again, when we do church and we give hospitality to people

or new people who come, what is our purpose when we show warm?

We show warm in order to reach them, isn't it? Yeah? In

all that we do. We are witnessing for the Lord. So it is

the most important of all because it is the culmination of our entire purpose here

on earth. It brings the focus for the first four WS. Without the

fifth W, there's actually no meaning and focus for the first four. We

are big on being a warm church because we are big on winning souls.

Amen. We are big on worship. We are big on word because we

are big on winning souls. And it is the hartbeat of all that we

are called to be and to do. Amen. It is it is the

great commission given to the Church, which gives meaning to all else that is

undertaken in the name of Christ. That's why witnessing is again the most important

w Again, it is our heartbeat, and it's what God has called us

to do. And if this is the great commission given to the church,

we do not want to be a church that is not reaching the laws because

we don't want to be lost ourselves. Amen, Amen, hallelujah. And

if it's not important to our Lord and Savior, he wouldn't have said it

before he or he ascended right. So important it was to him that it

was his final commandment to you, and I before leaving the earth. Amen.

So from the beginning, X Church was founded through the Holy Spirit to

become a live saving movement. And the future of X really depends on how

will you and I continue to allow the Holy Spirit to work in and to

earth. Amen. And as a church as X and you and I together

as the Body of Christ, we must exist together with a mission. And

that mission to be is to be a witness for Jesus everywhere and to everyone

that He has sent us. So I would like to close to remind us

because again I remind myself joy every week, every Sunday, we hear amazing

messages, isn't it from the pulpit, and some of us we have the

we have the privilege to again real listen from the messages. You know again

the message to go and we hear. But in James Chapter one, verse

twenty two, and again this is also another verse that we can post on

our door posts every day to remind ourselves but be doers of the world and

not hear us only deceiving ourselves. Imen. Amen, Let's not just be

hearers today church as church, Let's be doer because this message today has an

action to it. We know the great commission. But the great commission is

not sit and relaxed. Jesus is coming back. The great commission is go

and make disciples. Amen. Amen. So let's just be hear Us,

but be do us. And without the doing, all our learning is actually

worthless. Right. But it's not just worthless sometimes, no, it becomes

dangerous, okay. And because God will hold us accountable for what we are

hearing and what we do with what we hear. Hallelujah. Amen. Well,

God, hopefully this encourage you. Well. God doesn't need anything that

you have to reach the laws. He can reach them by himself. But

God wants to use anything that you willingly offered to him. Amen. And

God once chose us, you and I to partner with Him to reach the

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

good week ahead for you. God bless
