Patterns Discipleship Rev Edward Agyekum Kufuor 15th June 2025

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah.

Okay, let us get right into the world. Let us pray.

Come, Holy Spirit, have your way, increase that I might decrease.

Give clarity, give illumination, give understanding, bring wisdom. Help us

empower us so we can go out and be disciples.

Give us the understanding. Come reason with us. Talk to us,

Minister to us. Prepare our hearts and our minds to

be open, ready fatal ground for the seed to be planted,

so that we will be able to accomplish the assignment

that you've given us. We thank you now, because even

before we ask, we know it is done according to

your word. So receive your thanks in the mighty name

of Jesus the Christ.

We have prayed.

Amen, Thank you Name. Thank you so much. You may

be seated in the presence of the Lord.

So Church. We have been talking about.

Discipleship, discipleship, and even in our talks we juxtaposed being

a convert to being a disciple. You see, when you

come and you give your life to Christ, you have

become a convert. But at the moment it happens, you

do not make a complete change, a complete translocation from

your status before into that. Now that you've given him

your life, you have now surrendered. So now you must

be taught. You must learn. You must be taught. You

must learn to unlearn the things that you did. You

have to put away the old man, the things that

you used to do, which you can't now do because

you have an understanding of who you are and who

you are. So we talked about that and that the disciples,

and the fact that the disciples were not just the

pastors and the leaders of the shepherds. It is everyone

who is in the church has giving their life to Christ.

It's the first step. Now must learn, be taught, and

receive doctrine so you can be in the church and

just be a convert. That means you have taken the step,

but you're doing nothing else. But you see, I like

it to joining the army. When someone joins the army,

they're not going there to just okay, I've enlisted. They

give you uniforms, you'll give you your weapons, and you go

and lay down in the barras and you chill. You

must now follow the rules, take on certain directives and

instructions that prepare you for what you've signed up for.

When you give your life to Christ, you have effectively

joined the army of the Kingdom of God, because, whether

you realize it or not, we are at war.

The enemy is looking to take souls with him into

his kingdom to.

Perish, to destroy, to kill, and for you to remain

with him eternally. But God's kingdom is looking for you

to abide eternally with him in his kingdom. So when

you enter Satan's kingdom, there's an assignment. There are things

that you will do. I don't know how many of

you have come into contact with Satanists.

They have an agenda.

There are certain things that they must accomplish, and it's

all aimed at destroying the Kingdom of God and the

people of God. Likewise, when you join the Kingdom of God,

there's an assignment for you the things that you must do.

But in order to do them, you must move from

just being a convert to a follower one who follows Christ.

Like we talked about when we said Paul and Barnabas

and Antioch followed hard after Christ, so that even the

community they lived in people looked at them and said,

these people, they are Christians, they are the followers of Christ.

They act like Christ, they behave like Christ, they walk

like Christ, they pray like Christ. Everything they do they

resemble Christ, not just in the natural but even spiritually.

The way they prayed, the way they made in secession,

the way they fasted. So you've joined the Kingdom of God.

These are your instructions now which will make you prepared.

Because the commission you've joined the army, you're commissioned into

a certain service. The commission that we've given us Christians

is to now receive the training, the teaching, and the

doctrine so we can go out and replicate ourselves when

others into the kingdom, so the kingdom will grow. The

only way we are going to be effective is for

us to yield ourselves, to submit ourselves to the teaching,

the training, and the doctrine so we can be empowered.

Because you can't give what you don't have. And if

you're not ready, if you're not prepared, you go out there,

what are you going to tell them? You don't want

to go out there and mislead people. But by your

very example as a follower of Christ, the lifestyle that

attributes the characteristics the values that you exhibit will be

the first testimony for them to know that now he

is a Christian, now she is a Christian. But more importantly,

when you're out there replicating yourself, you are a disciple.

So you want to move from being a convert to

just a follower who's going along, to be coming a disciple.

You can be a convert, you can be a believer.

You know, a follower. You receive the word, and but

you do nothing because the whole point of this is

that you must take root, be established, be firm, be

sure so that nothing moves you. Because like a young

plant when it's first a seedling, when it's taking you know,

roots and sprouting, it doesn't have very deep roots. So

if it rains too hard, if you water too hard,

you see the roots come out. It's only about this

deep and falls off and old ee. So at that

tender age you must handle with care. So when you

first convert, you at that tender stage. But we want

you to grow roots downwards so you can be anchored, established,

so that when the trials and temptations of life of

life comes, you won't be moved, you won't be lost,

you won't be discouraged, you won't be offended, and you

won't just leave the church.

If you're not rooted.

The other thing that can happen is that you start

chasing signs and wonders and miracles.

Oh I hear this past. That's good.

This a miracle happening in this church. You go there, Well,

this prophit is sharp. You can tell me about my future.

You go there, you move to and fro because you're

not established. But when you're grounded and you are being fed, taught,

train and receiving doctrine, it establishes you. When a tree

is well grounded, you can try to pull it down,

but you're going to have some resistance because now the

roots are entangled with the earth and with other roots.

So it's steady.

When the storms come and the winds blow, it's resilient.

It may sway, but it will never be moved. But

when you're not established, when you have not received the training,

the teaching, and the doctrine, you will easily be moved. Amen,

tell to your neighbor and say be rooted, or open

up your mouth and tell them, look them in the faces.

They be rooted, be grounded, be established, receive training, receive teaching,

and receive the doctrine. So you can be an effective disciple.

Amen. So the Great Commission in Matthew.

Twenty eight and nineteen says God said, go and make

disciples of all nations. That's why we're here doing this,

because the commission is for you to go out there.

But in order for you to go out there, you

must receive the training, the teaching and the doctrine, and

that prepares you from being just a convert. You must

now become a follower, following hard and working towards becoming

a disciple.

Amen.

The convert gladly receives the word when they hear it,

but it's the teaching and training and doctrine that helps

them to transition. You must move just like the stages

of a child. It's born. It's a baby. It cannot

do anything for itself. It depends on the parents. They

must feed it. It's a babe in Christ. When you

first give your life to Christ, you're a babe in Christ.

You must be fed. The baby graduates from just drinking

milk to now eating solid food, and when it has teeth,

it will now eat meat. The stages of life, it'll crawl,

then they'll walk, then it'll run. Goes from being carried everywhere.

Then it starts crawling. Then it stands up and starts walking,

and when it really realizes, oh, I can get away,

starts running. That's what has happened to you in your

Christian You cannot remain a babe. You cannot remain a

convert your whole life in Christ. You must graduate and

now take on the responsibility of replicating yourself.

Amen.

So the main reason why the church is not growing

then is because we are not following the pattern that

God has given us. Because in the early the New

Testament church, the Holy Spirit gave a certain pattern by

which the church must grow. Turn to the neighbors, saying,

it's God's church. So if it's his church, then who

better to give you the rules the instructions on how

to grow it.

You cannot of yourself grow the church.

It is not within your power, no matter how much

words you know, no matter how much you know, time

you put in, if the Holy Spirit doesn't give you

the power. That is why we see from the Upper

Room experience. One hundred and twenty of them went in there,

the Holy Spirit came upon them, that received power, and

then they were able to go out and the scriptures

we shared last week.

In one day, three thousand were added.

Why they had received the power, They had received that

doctrine their teaching, and they were able to go out there, minister,

and in one day, three thousand were added to their numbers,

from one hundred and twenty to three thousand. It wasn't

just a linear growth. And those of you who do

maths linear growth in algebra, it's not a one to

one relationship. You brought one, they brought one, They brought one.

It was exponential growth. He spoke to five, won them.

She spoke to seven, He spoke to ten, he spoke

to fifteen. And when they all came together, they realized

the church was growing by.

Leaps and bounds.

After the three thousand, the next time they met, five

thousand came to. Then a multitude came. So there was

continued growth, succession, successive growth, advancement, which is what God

wanted for his church. So it also tells us that

disciples multiplied. But in order for disciples to multiply, that

means someone was teaching them, someone was training them, someone

was giving them doctrine. That is why they were able

to go out with that power, with that understanding to

be able to reach others to win them over. So

that's the assignment. But the blueprint came from the Holy Spirit.

The patron for doing that came from the Holy Spirit.

So it is now incumbent upon us to submit and

to subject ourselves to that teaching, the training and the doctrine.

And I'll take it even a step further.

And this is not just for the pastors and the

leaders and the sh each and everyone. The only way

you're going to get revelation, insights, understanding illumination.

Is by one.

Your prayer life, your relationship with God. You talk to God,

you commune with God, and God talks to us in

different ways in his word, in dreams. But as you

commune with God and you develop your relationship with God,

he communicates with you.

So your prayer life as a disciple is very important.

But just like the disciples of the Early Church, they

didn't just pray. What made Paul and Barnabas so unique

so that the people called them Christians was the way

they prayed. They offered supplication made into session. So if

we are following a pattern, then it's not just enough

to receive the training and the teaching and the doctrine.

But you yourself.

Must seek your personal development because when you give your

life to Christ and you become a convert, the old

man still exists. But the more you develop your relationship

with Christ, your walk with Christ, the old man, the

old attributes, the old values, the old characteristics start to

fall off and you take on a new image. You

take on a new mind, the mind of Christ, and

people start seeing the change.

Look at your isn't that who used to? Isn't that

I'm who?

You know? Would require me to do semur Man's But

the change becomes evident. You don't just look like you

walk like her. You start resembling Christ spiritually. You see,

it is the development of that which is important. The

outside looks nice, but if the inside. My grandmother used

to say something I eased to think you used to

think she was just joking. I say, oh, do I

know who you're blue? And wom you are green? You

look a different way on the outside, but what is

really on the inside is what matters. Because when you

meet people, you can show them personality, but when they

get to know you enough, they see your character. That's

the difference. Personality is what you show everybody, Oh, Praise Lord.

Hallelujah, Glory. Put down.

What's in there. Out of the abundance of the heart.

The mouth speaks. Sooner or later what you are really like,

the character that you have in there is going to

come out. So the training, the teaching, the doctrine, the

relationship that you develop with Christ helps you in your

walk towards becoming an effective disciple, but also helps you

to drop the old ways. If you don't drop the

old ways, then you are just a convert. You're still

a bathing Christ. If you don't drop the old ways,

then you don't have that evidence, that testimony, that witness

by your very lifestyle. People look at you and say, ah,

and here's the one who said he's a Christian. Look

at what, Charlie. I don't even bother with this Christianity.

You are in church of Hallelujah. I don't turn out

no scrapping out there. I don't like nonsense. So we

are really Christian follow out of Christ. What are you exhibiting?

It is the fruits?

Fruits?

What fruits are you being when you've taken root, when

you've received the doctrine, the teaching, the training, you're taking root,

becoming established, established in what what fruit? We've also talked

about the fruits of the spirit, because as you are

in Him and you're receiving this training, you start you

must demonstrate the fruits of the spirit, some of which

I love for one another and for souls. A real disciple,

a true disciple, you have the burden a concern that

the one sitting next to you may not be saved,

may not have converted, may not be receiving training, and

that they're on their way to hell. So it's not

just love general love, but it's love for one another,

how you treat each other and love for souls. You

want your neighbor to also come in and experience as

Christ that you're emulating, that you're displaying these characters new

values that everybody say, wow, he has really changed. You

want that same thing for your neighbor.

So that burden is there.

So some of the fruits that love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness,

and the one that really strikes me self control. Because

in your change, as you're going through the metamorphosis, the

one thing that's hard for human beings to do is change.

That's why people that me answer me, I'm like that

to a me and me. It's alimity. They don't want

to change, and.

They make excuses self control.

It is a fruit the spirit that you must exhibit

when you are a disciple, when you are a true disciple.

But we're talking about patterns. All of this going into

you being a pattern for someone to follow. Your lifestyle

must be a pattern for somebody to follow. But as

far as it concerns the method of growing the church,

while you are seeking your personal development in developing these

characteristics and values, the church must evidently grow because we

don't just come in here and meet on Sundays and

then close our books or notebooks or bibles, or turn

off our ee bibles and shut it till next week

and then come and receive the word, because then you're

relying on just what the pastor will say. The pastor

is human. He can get something wrong if he's not

very well ground. Remember a couple of weeks ago, I

made a certain statement that was not It wasn't false,

but it wasn't all that we can complete with regard

to what I was teaching. And Bishop corrected me. Yes,

you must be open to correction. That's how you grow

if you say media asylamity means a san I'm not

going to change. That means you don't want to grow,

and that means you want to remain a babe in Christ,

a convert, not a follow and not a disciple, because

the followers walk leads them to discipleship. If they are

submitting themselves to training, teaching, doctrine, praying, making intercession, it

leads you to becoming an effective disciple. But the church

is going to grow after the pattern which the Holy

Spirit gave.

And what pattern is that?

It is the same parton that God gave one man

of God called doctor David Yngicho. He's a man of

God that God used to show us a living example

in our day, not in the old you know church,

in the modern you know Testament, modern New Testament church

that was back then we didn't exist. But even this day,

by adopting the cell structure, the cell pattern of growing

the church, he was able to grow his single church

into eight hundred thousand people, the largest single church on earth.

And it was based on him following the pattern that

was given by the Holy Spirit to the modern early

New Testament church. If God has given the pattern, what

else are we looking for why we try to find

other ways. It is his church and he knows how best.

So his Holy Spirit gave the pattern, and doctor David

Jungicho realized that the reason why the church now is

not growing because we have a sanctuary full of converts.

They have heard the good news, they have received it gladly.

They have come forward and given their life to Christ.

But then they go back and sid in the pews

and they do absolutely nothing. So they are not grounded.

They don't know their assignment. They're not subjecting themselves to

being taught, trained and receiving doctrine, so they're not equipped

to go out there and replicate themselves and bring others in.

So as long as others are not coming in, the

church is not growing. Pattern there must.

Be followed the way it was given.

In the old days, they didn't have huge meeting places

like this, even their temples. We're not like the spaces

we have these days. People meet a stadia, they meet

a black cell square, I mean wide, huge open spaces

where multitudes come. But in older days they didn't have

that and they were being persecuted in their time. So

whenever they had a chance to meet in a public place.

They did, but for the sake of being persecuted, being killed,

being mattered. We don't see that so much these days

that I'm hearing some things in Nigeria. Bukoharama is killing

in one day eighty nine. Christians, you have to understand

that you are at war just by choosing to be

on the side of Jesus Christ. That's why I tell

you there's no middle ground. If you choose to be

with Christ, you're gathering. If you don't, you're scattering. You're

not in the middle saying me, I'm neutral alone. There's

no such thing as a neutral Christian. Because your assignment

is to grow the church, to go out there and

make disciples. That is the great commission. The only way

you're gonna do that is to submit yourself to it.

The training, the teaching, the doctrine. You have to pray, intercede,

offer supplication, fasting. Some of us want to say fast thing, Jesus.

You can't even go from eight to twelve with help.

Put someone in your mouth as soon as they say

fast thing. The little creatus in your bodies that eat something,

eat something, drink something, have some cook have some sugar,

have some your mouth busy the whole time, but you

know when you deny yourself. Part of this walk is

the commitment to receiving the training, but it's also commitment

to sacrifice. It serves two purposes that you open up

and received from God as to what to do. The

empowerment you need to grow, but it also helps you

to have self control in your own personal growth, in

your own relationship with God. Nobody else can do that

for you. Each and everyone must work out their salvation

with fear and trembling. I can't do it for you.

Pastor can't do it for you. Your mother can't do it

for you. Your father can't do it for you. Every

one of us must work out their own salvation, must

follow their own pattern. The discipleship must be effective to

win souls. I believe it's in Revelation that talks about

your crown. When you get to heaven, if you've won souls,

there will be stars in your crown for every soul

that you've ministered it to. I don't know about you.

I don't just want to go band because I just

made it in and then there's nothing else. I want

a crown that has stars representing the soul that I've

led to Christ because I was an effective disciple. So

the self structure that we have here at Next Gen

is called next sells. As we are following that pattern

to grow this church. It is incumbent upon each and

every one of us. We all have the assignment. It's

just not me and Pastor Jeremiah, or Bishop or any

of the other pastors or the leaders of the shepherds.

You also the church. You are the one that God

is looking to use to go out there and win souls.

If you're sitting down expecting someone to go and minister

to them and bring.

Them, then what is the point of view? Johnny.

You can't just join the army and going to sleep

in the barracks and so me, I've joined you, that's

all I've not.

Didn't come here to fight. When there's war, you must go.

But while there's not war, you receive the training so

that in the event it comes up, you are armed.

You know what to do with your gun, and tell

you cap your gun. You know what it means when

the no bullets in your magazine, you know how to

take it apart and put another one in so you

can take down the enemy. You must know how to

maneuver and take their evasive moves so that enemy doesn't

get you. But it's all towards the pattern that he

is given for growing the church. I want us to

also understand as I was saying that, as I was

saying that we must receive the word, we must receive

the training and go out there and be effective that

in the end, each and everyone on that day of

accountability is going to be you. And God, I gave

you the gift of life. I planted you in this church,

doctrine was given, teaching and training.

You personally.

Having told everybody that you're a Christian, not just by name.

It's not just nomenclature. It's not just something that you

check on a you know, on a phone. What is

your faith? A Christian? Somebody who checked Muslim someone to

check Budhi someone. It's just nomenclature. What makes you a Christian?

What is it that proves you're a Christian? A Christian?

Meaning of it says you're a follow of Christ? What

about you says you're a follow of Christ?

What fruits? What are you bearing?

If you're just checking the paper and still holding to

your old man, you're just a Christian by name, it

doesn't carry any weight. But if you're a Christian, a

true Christian, then you have evolved or you are evolving

to becoming a disciple. And if you're a disciple, that

means you are submitting yourself to receiving the training, the teaching,

the doctrine so you can go out there and win

others so the church will grow. But if your aim,

with the understanding of the commission, is to go out

to all the world and make disciples, if you understand that,

then you know that the way that's going to happen

is by following the pattern.

Of cell growth, the cell system.

It is the only way, the most effective way that

we're going to grow this church. That is why we

are spending time training you, teaching you for you to

understand that. Don't just come every week and sit in

the pews. When you go home, your neighbors, your friends,

if you're working, your communities that you're in, if you're

part of some fraternity, if you're on campus, everybody you

come into contact with, like Joe Charlie, are you saved?

Oh Miami. I don't do that christ to yourself.

It's like buying insurance if Christ comes right now and

he's taking his own, are you.

Sure you're going back with him?

Or even if you're not sure, what if you die

and you get there and there is a heaven and

a hell and you never accepted Jesus Christ, where do

you think you're going? Did you receive it when it

was given? Did you receive it when you heard his word?

Did you apply yourself? Did you go out there and

fulfill the commission? It's not enough to just, you know,

receive your salvation and sit down. He said, once you

received it, go and bring others. So when he asked, okay,

accepted Jesus Christ.

Wonderful. So when you accepted him, what did you do? God?

Me?

I accepted the moon and I was in the church.

Okay, you were in the church and did what when

you when you had the chance to talk to Amma?

I'm mean the way she is like me. I didn't

she shout on you in published would embarrass you when

you tried to talk to about it?

To me, I didn't first my family there's some way,

so me, I just you know, I just don't want trouble.

I don't want anyone halla So I'm safe. So I'm

just you know, I'm just waiting. I was just waiting

for you to come. Oh, so you didn't understand the assignment.

I didn't just save you to go sit down. I

said save, receive the training, go out there and bring others.

So who did you bring? And mm hmm, good, give

me one chance? Let me let me go back there.

Man size is my friend. Let me see. Can you

let me go back? No, there's no turning back. There's

no going back. So while you yet have it, you

must apply yourself. I want to look at one last

scripture and then we can move on. Acts Chapter two,

verse forty six. Acts Chapter two, verse forty six. At

chapter two, verse forty six, the early Church had in battle.

They were being persecuted, murdered, mattered just because of what

they believed. And they continuing daily with one accord. Don't

you anybody say one accord? That means we all have

the same mind, we all have the same vision, we

all have the same understanding. We're all receiving the same

training so that we can all go out there as

an army to win souls on one accord. See, God

cannot bless confusion. He's not the art of confusion. When

we are all on one accord, his spirit will come

and do what it needs to do. He must have unity,

We must move in unison. We must all have the

same vision, the same understanding, on one accord in the

temple and breaking bread from house to house, So it's

not just about coming here every Sunday, from house to house.

Did they eat their meals? Listen? Sometimes in our culture

food brings us together.

Oh tell you, let's have a little Let's go and

have a little something for full year, or if you

like sweet things, he's going to sit down at the

coffee shop and have some cookies. And it's an opportunity

you break bread like Christ did with us with his disciples,

break bread, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness

of heart. It's a pattern. He's showing you how. And

here that's what we're going to do in what we

call the Next Cells. The cell system has many names,

but here at Next Gen Church, we call it Next Cells.

So we're all going to belong to We're gonna receive

the training, we're gonna go out there and we're gonna

win soles. One last scripture I wanted to give because

ecclese us is ten ten eclese to us is ten.

The purpose of wisdom when you receive the wisdom, what

is the purpose. If the iron be blunt and he

do not wet the edge, then must he put to

more strength? But wisdom is profitable to direct. If you

have a cut less and you want to cut the

tree down, you don't shopen it. You'd be striking. The

whole day is sweating and you won't cut anything. But

if you cut that wisdom the listener, I need to

cut this thing. I need a sharp edge, and you

wet it and you sharpen it. That is what wisdom

will give you. When you have received wisdom, you don't sweat.

You don't sweat needlessly. When we have received wisdom in

the word the pattern, when have joined the next cells,

when you are growing in your discipleship training with the understanding,

you're receiving the wisdom as to how to.

Accomplish the commission.

But wisdom ten ten say wisdom, wisdom, say, receive wisdom.

It's profitable to direct. Today. I hope you have received wisdom.

About what the cell is and what we call it

here at next else, and what this whole discipleship training

is about why we must do it, because we are

commissioned to how we must do it. That's what we

do to grow the church. But it begins with you

being a convert. For those of you who are here

who have not accepted Jesus christis your Lord and savior.

You cannot.

Out there and be effective when you don't know, when

you have not been trained, taught, or receive the doctrine.

You must subject yourself, submit yourself so we can train you,

teach you. And the way we're going to do that

is in our next cells. And then when you are empowered,

you go out there to minister, to witness, to win

so so that the church will grow. That's your assignment

do to come and help the Kingdom of God grow.

Everybody is not going to get the same results. He

might be gifted and he can talk to twenty and

they'll receive. You might be gifted, you can get you five.

But God is not looking at say oh, you didn't

do it. No, but you subjected yourself, submitted yourself. So

today I'm giving you the opportunity come see the empowerment

so you can go out there and be effective in

this discipleship walk.

That's your purpose.

The day that you cease to fulfill the purpose that

God asks for you, trust me, that is the day

you go to sleep. When the Bible says and He

went to sleep, it means you cease to exist in

the land of the living.

You die. If He is letting you live, that means

that He has purpose for you. But what is the purpose?

Seeking out purpose? This is the purpose.

Yes, life is going on. You meet people, you go

to school, you have relationships. All of that is part

of the journey. But the purpose for being here, this

is why He led you to this church, which is

why you're coming here every Sunday, which is why you

say you're a Christian and this is your home.

Church planted you here so you can receive the word, receive.

The training, the teaching, the doctrine, be taught out to pray, intercede.

Or for supplication.

Control yourself, learn to master yourself in your walk, so

that the old man, the things that you used to do,

you take on the mind of Christ, so you become

more like Christ. So your very existence is an example.

Some people will never read the Bible, They'll just look

at you. You claim you're a Christian, and they'll be

learn let me remain a sinner because you are worse

than me. But when they look at you and they're like,

there's something different by this guy.

I mean even the way he treats people.

The fruits of the spirit, love for one another and

for souls, the burden. Listen, I'm saved though. I always

tell you, for those of you who drive, you don't

know the value of insurance until the day you have

an accident. When you're paying the premium, it's like nothing

has happened. Why am I giving these people my money.

It's like pulling your nose.

HEAs hey, yeah, oh.

But let you that day come where you have an

accident and then they give you an assessment of the

damage and if you don't have insurance you have.

To pay out of your pocket.

Then you'll understand the value of insurance because when you

have insurance, you have bump or fully covered when the

car crashes. Much as you are, you know, regretful that

your car has crashed, you don't have to carry that

extra burden of pain for it.

You don't have to lose something.

You just call the insurance that you have been paying

for and you'll come take the car, fix it or

replace it, give you a new one. That's what it's

like giving your life to Christ. You're taking insurance because

you do not know, but by faith. Faith comes by

hearing and hearing the word of God. But as a Christian,

we don't walk by faith by by sight.

We walk by faith.

Second Corinthians vibe and servants right in, for we walk

by faith, not by sight. Because you have believed, you're

taking that insurance that when I die and I get

before the Maker on that day of accountability, Christ says, ah,

this one is mine.

He believed in me. But not just that.

He fulfilled the commission. He subjected himself to training, teaching doctrine.

He has completed his assignment, enter into arrest a good

and faithful servant.

I don't know about you. That's what I want to

hear God say to me about me.

I don't want to say, oh, okay, well accept that crier, okay,

come in. But any souls, he didn't do anything for

me as much as I did for you. I said

my only begotten son to die for you, which is

why you're here. You couldn't even think or love another

soul enough imagine the disappointment, the heartbreak. But that's what

I'm off for you today. Come give your life to Christ.

Give your life to Christ. Anybody here. Time is fast spent.

If you haven't accepted him. No man knows when he's coming.

He could come now as I'm talking. If you haven't

received him, it's too late. But our times are different.

Someone may live to one hundred and forty. I just

went to my friend's grandmother's funeral one hundred and six.

God blessed her.

She saw grandchildren, great grandchildren, great great grandchildren. It was

beautiful while they were in Sorry that she had left,

but it was beautiful to see all of them lined

up saying, this is the matriarch. Somebody will live to

one o six. Somebody will live to fifty. These days,

people are dying at twenty five and twenty six. People

are dying in teenage years. You don't know when he's

gonna call you home. But when he calls you home,

can you say you belong to Christ? If you can't,

then here's your chance. Enter convert and will train him

so that you can be equipped.

And then you can fulfill the commission.

Then you can effectively follow the pattern being part of

the next hell to win others. That's our assignment. In short,

Come if you haven't given your life to Christ. If

you want to read, dedicate, because you know the walk

is not easy. There are times when the old man

creeps up. That's why you must pray without ceasing. That's

why you must daily renew your mind. That's what the

scripture says, renew your mind me, how do you do

that in the world.

Stay in the world. He'll give you revelation for your

daily walk.

You'll give you the strength to resist the old man,

because when the demons are left, after a while, they

come back. That's what the scripture says.

To see.

If you haven't filled it, why do you fill it

with the Holy Spirit, the teachings, the doctrine. If it's vacant,

you come and whisper. Do you remember I used to

do with that you are She's still Availablelo, do you

remember what you used to do with your boys? It's

still there because you haven't filled it and you draw

you back. So if you're here and you need to

rededicate yourself, come too. There's nothing shameful about it. If

you're shamed before men, if you're ashamed of him. Before man,

when you get to hit the presence of his father,

he'll also be ashamed of you. That's what the scripture says.

So come, So the time is up. Come, everybody here

is saved. Don't worry about the time, because you can

step out and God. You can hear the trump as

the angel ruling about disguise, and you'd be like, I

should have too late. This is the day, the moment,

this is the now we're talking about now, in the

moment that you're alive, the day that you hear my voice,

do not herden your heart. Now is the time, anyone, anyone,

come and give your life to Christ.

Come and rededicate your life.

Upgrade yourself, your software and your computer after a while

becomes old, redundant.

But you would want.

To stay on top of you want to stay current,

rededicate yourself. Say God, I know I've missed the mark.

Sometimes I don't always win this battle. God does not

saying be perfect, because no man is perfect except Christ.

But if you trust him, he will take you from

glory to glory. He will perfect you, He will establish

your ways. He is the one that will give you

the power to press towards the perfection that he expects.

He doesn't expect you to get saved. You're perfect. He

knows that stuff that's in there. It takes a while

to peel off. Today he will take away anger. Tomorrow

you take away from concern. Tomorrow you take away something else,

And eventually the new Man evolves anybody, anybody. He will

ask you. You heard reverend for his voice, and you

sat and say, look, I'm in a hurry to go home.

I have plans, So y'all do this next week. You

don't know if next week is yours.

Will Church?

Give God some praise in here? Oh, come on, give

him praise. You're still you have received the word. Even

if you're already saved, you have received this word. You

have received this pattern. You can do better. You're not

doing it for me. Uh huh, you're not doing Do

you understand why you do why you do?

Do you understand why you clap? Are you clapping because

we just told you the clap? Are you clapping because.

You are grateful that you've heard from his spirit that

you are encouraged today, that you are empowered today? Know

and understand why you do what you do? As a Christian,

be firm in your mind, in your understanding. See, the

battle is here. The enemy always suggests to you. That's why,

as says, renew your mind daily, shut out all the

voices and hear his still small voice.

Amen.
