Loving Your Neighbor 1st Service - Rev James Okine Sunday 28th July 2024

Oh, can't believe us. Shout at be a man on

to Jesus.

Hale Lujiah.

Look to the ones standing next year, I said my neighbor,

my neighbor. No, I'm not feeling this, I said my neighbor,

my neighbor, this morning, God will surely bless you down.

The person next year, said my neighbor, my neighbor, I

can't feel you this morning. If you can't shake yourself

a little bit, the Lord will do something in your life.

Give your neighbor high five and welcome somebody to church.

Just welcome somebody to church. Hallelujah. In the same spirit,

I want you to help me thank God and appreciate

God for the life of the Father and the past

of Next Generation Church. It's eminens yad, Bishop Nicolas, can

you appreciate God for his life?

Amen? Harlen Lawyer Paul says something.

Paul said that we have many instructors, but when it

comes to a father, we have just one father and

for next year we are privileged to have its eminence,

the Bishop Nicolas Dank Williams as our father. You know,

some of us we have lost our biological fathers and

one thing that spiritual Father always tells us is that

your biological father will tell you where you are coming from,

by your spiritual Father will tell you where you are going. Oh,

can we thank God for the life of a seminars.

For more time? What a blessing, harle lawyer. Amen, and

also helped me.

Thank God for the life of all the pastors or

the shepherds of next generation in church.

Oh, let's thank God for the choir.

You are doing very well protocol or sound with thank

God for your life.

Amen.

You may please be seated, Harly lawyer. How many of

you are prepared for the word of God this morning? Amen? Amen,

this morning. I just want to have a conversation with you.

Last two weeks Paster Quack who came here and started

a very powerful series. The greatest commandment of God, the

greatest commandment, And I remember saying that the greatest commandment

of God is to love the Lord. In Matthew Chapter

twenty two, vers. Thirty six to verse forty. Matthew Chapter

twenty two Ver's thirty six to verse forty, it's a master,

which is the greatest commandment. In the Law verse thirty seven,

Jesus said on to him, thou shall love the Lord

Thy God. With all thy heart and with all thy soul,

and with all thy mind.

Thou shall love the Lord, Die God. Thou shall love

the Lord Die God.

And I remember PASTI saying that one thing that is

very difficult to do is to love God. Hello, one

thing that is very difficult to do is to love God.

We can love every other thing, but when it comes

to loving God, it's a challenge. The last time, I

was telling a group of people that when you're reading

the Bible and come across don't punicate, don't commit adultery,

you should just have me to mind that by default

it is easy to do it. By default, it is

easy to funicate, It is easy to commit adultery, it

is easy to steal.

So anytime you read the Bible and you see don't do.

Something, you should understand that by default it is easy

to do it.

And when you read and.

You get your pleasure, your abilitle to do something, it

means that by default it is difficult to do it.

So when the Bible talks about love the Lord that God,

you should understand that it.

Is very difficult to love the Lord God.

Things that are not difficult to do, you don't need

anybody to tell you you can't do it.

We can't just do it. That's some of you.

It's not easy to just take you a few and

just go on social media. I mean it's easy to

do so here somebody saying two days, it means it's

very difficult to do it.

Write this statement down.

People are one of the great test resources God has

given to man. People are one of the great test

resources God has given to man. We are continuing the

great test commandment of love, and today we want to

talk about loving your neighbor. Loving your neighbor. Guys, see

a lot of times we say we love God, and

that's why we're having in church. We love God, and

that's why we're in the car. We love God, and

that is why we are in protocol. We love God,

and that is why we've come to church. But you

see all these things, that's not necessarily mean you love God.

It doesn't. It doesn't.

Somebody came me up very early this morning, but if

you check what they did last night, you want to

answer yourself just one question.

It's dispressing a Christian.

And you know, I remember to say these things because

I once upon a time found myself in that category

where on Saturday evening you go and chill, you have

a lot of fun in beer bars, in pubs, in

nights clubs, and on Sunday morning and one of the

first classon to come to church. I've been there before.

I've been there before. I remember one of the days

I went to the nights club, so somewhere twenty thirteen,

and when I went to the nights club, in fact,

it was the nights club closed around four year and

I was like a charista. I was in the Metadist

church and I was a four am and I was

WANs to wear a robe, I mean processed with the

reverend minister at seventh of fair service. I couldn't sleep

at four am the Night's club closed. I got to

the house around six eighty. Oh, I tell you, I

tell you the way I was feeling. I just had

to wear my white shirt black try and run away

to church. Did I think I sunk powerfully? I was

a basing at the time. I sunk powerfully. But you see,

nobody did knew where I'd gone the night before. So

you see, coming to church very early in the morning,

that's not necessarily mean you love God. Loving God is

a difficult thing to do. Tell a neighbor loving God,

it's a difficult thing to do.

Yeah, it's a lot of times. We're gonna tell you that.

How is easy? Radio word?

I mean, come to church, pray, even prayer, reading the

Word of God. It's difficult. How many of you have

experienced that. It's very difficult reading the Bible. Take care

of your Bible and reading some allows to it. I

took my Bible and I said I was going to

read the whole of Joshua. I started from chapter one.

By the time I got to chapter two, verse one,

I was asleep. Yeah, these at times I wanted to

be real so that you understand that at times you

also go through So when you're going through it, you

don't you don't feel guilty. You don't feel guilty. Hello, yeah,

you don't feel guilty. Amen. Some of you said, I

will tell it to them. Pray and praying at twelve am.

You wake up at twelve am to pray. By twelve

twenty you are gone. Yeah, tell yourself that talent.

Today. I want to pray.

Hey live me see at the lambs different alarm, eleven

thirty eleven thirty five eleven forty five minutes in Tava.

And when the levin that alarm sound, you snooze it.

The harm many of you have been there before.

Yeah, we snooze it.

We have neighbor too, And especially when it's a rarely

a rainy day. Oh come on, it's too nice. But

it's very difficult. It's it's very difficult. As a people

are one of the great test results God gave to man.

Do they want to look at go to vese? All

right and already there. And the second is like it.

You shall love your neighbor. Ask yourself. You shall love

your neighbor. Ask yourself. So if going to charge earlie,

that's not necessarily.

Mean you love God.

If paying your tithe that's not necess really mean you

love God. If singing in charge, that's not necessarily mean

you love God. And what must I do to show

that I love God? Number one? Loving your neighbor, Loving

your neighbor, loving your neighbor, And you see, to.

Love is difficult.

People gonna stand in front of God at the altar

and say that.

For Richard, for poorer in health and in sickness till

death to us.

And the next minute a week after they go to court,

they go to court. To love is very difficult because

you see, if people are some way, people are some way.

So to love your neighbor, it's a great challenge and

a great task for you to be able to love

your neighbor, because people are naturally some way. Look, people

will hurt you, people will betray you, people would deny

you before friends. People do all sorts of things to you.

And these are the same people God, through his son

jess Christ is telling us to laugh. Last Exander, I

was having a conversation with one of our members and

he said, Referendais, I.

Can't come to church here again.

And I said why, and she said, people have betrayed

me in this church. I trusted them and I told

them my secrets. And the next minute it was all

of us. Not only next year, but even when I

went to the men of the taurium, people had already had.

Dance you.

I said, really said, yes, yes, and some of us

we are hear and people have betrayed us, betrayed us.

So he said, to love your neighbor, it takes a

lot of effort, a lot of efforts, a lot of effort.

It takes a lot of effort. Pastors can hurt you.

Pastess can say things to you. Pastest can insult you.

I have a lot of friends who have started church

because to them. They went to church and the protocol

told them that what they're wearing was very short.

What they're wearing was.

Exposing the certain parts of their bodies, so they start church.

Three ladies came to this church one time and when

they came, the protocol met them at the entrance and said, no,

what you're wearing is not good. Then they took them there.

Was said there was a room somewhere here, you remember.

Then they took them there, and when they took them there,

they convert them with what's the name.

Hescafle whatever and barrassment.

Then they entered into the auditorium, they were shy, they

were barrassed. The next minute they said, do not come

to church again. So I went to them and I asked,

you are new, you have visitors, and they said, oh, Pasta,

actually we're not coming to church. We came to paint

for paint whole week, you, mister Orghana. So this was

the dress we came with for the program. But on

Sunday morning, our our friend came to us as sailfish.

You go to church, and we didn't have anything to

us who we brought this to church and they came

and they were embarrassed by See.

That is who we are. That is who we are.

I was telling you the last time that I find

it very difficult to criticize people because when I checked

my background and where the Lord has brought me from,

I cannot just point fingers to people and criticize them.

I can't.

If really well, we will love people, we have to

have a certain hearts, certain hands. It is I love

your neighbor, ask yourself. Love your neighbor. Your neighbor will

step on your toe. Your neighbor will see a lot

of things against you. Your neighbor would gossip against you.

But what will you do when you hear your neighbor

gossip against you, all insults?

You would you do? Some of us?

I mean, I hasked with our classmates and don't talk

to me again.

Oh no, no, don't, don't, don't talk to me again.

Don't talk to me again.

I remember when I was in JHS, it was the norm.

I mean, what your cobla at that time, that's what

they say. What your cobula. Today we don't have those

things and my clog. I asked you to you, I'll

not talk with you, I mean, but to love people.

It's a critic coughing. We need to be attention to

bet that the ninety Jesus straight times better the nine

says straight times. You ask yourself, how come pitt that

denying Jesus? How come you do look Chapter twenty two, Vest.

Thirty three, Look twenty two three? Take me to look

twenty two best three. But he said to him, Lord,

I am rady to go with you, but to prison

and to death. You see, like some of us. First

afterlt that, I tell I'm with you. I've ever been

with you. I'm commit that to you. I'm commit that

to our work. I'm committed to the way we are moving.

You've ever been my friend. I'm bestie, bestie is forever.

Peter said to Jesus, Lord, I am rated to go

with you, even in prison.

I'll go with you, even in that. I'll go with you.

Look at it, there's thirty four. Look at it, that's thirtyfour, Dan,

he said, I tell you, Peter, the roster or the rooster,

depending on the school you went shall not crow this

day before, for you would deny three times that you know.

That's what you know me. You deny that you know me.

And if I sisty, we'll see what happened in the sisty.

These were not so as who came to Pitter so

a little a little care a little girl.

Came to Peter in verse sixty of the same chapter.

I got it, but.

Peter said, man, I do not know what you are

saying her. This is somebody Jesus peaks from the show.

This somebody Jesus has helped. There's somebody who has seeing

the miracles of Jesus, people being rested from their dad,

people be healed of many sicknesses, since I've been through

all of that. For him, yes, he said, I do

not know what you're saying. These are people can be

people can be way. Yet I do not know. I

do not know what you're saying.

I don't know. I don't know.

One of the days I had I had the problem

with one of the with one of the elders in

the Methodist church. I said something, and he also agreed

to what I was saying, But in front of the

signary he said, he doesn't know what I'm saying. So

I understood when Peter did that to Jesus. We went

to the signary, were called to leaders meeting, and I

came to testify that this.

Is what I was saying. I can't know. It was

left with him to what was.

Saying that, Oh, yes, it's true. This was how we're talking,

this always saying. Now he said no, no, no, no, no,

he doesn't know me. He has never even met me

to talk about a nitting. And you see, this is

where we can find ourselves, can find ourselves. But yes

to Jesus said love your neighbor yourself. Judas went all

out to be tree Jesus. This was somebody who was

the count of the disciples. He was keeping them money,

was keeping them money. If he didn't have any job

to do. Jesus had given him a job to do.

Yet he went ahead to be trade Jesus, to be tree.

Jesus, to sow. You see, he went to sell Jesus

Us a lot of us. That is what our friends

have done to us.

They've sold us before people they're going they talk about us,

they're going to God said by by us. And it's

like the thing that's hurt you so much that you

cannot eaven forgive the person.

You can't. You can't, you can you can't forgive.

I was, like you said myself as an example, last

two years there was an issue that was an issue,

and after I asked you, I told myself that this person,

I'm not anything to.

Do with him. Mm hmmm.

Like some of you have told yourself that this friend

of yours you don't have anything to do with them, not.

Have anything to do with them. I told myself I

would look, I wouldn't want to see them. I would

want to see him. I would want to even seeing

his children. That's how heads I was. Yeah, very hard.

And some of us are parents.

Our fathers don't are not taking care of us, and

our mothers have told us that dad is not taking

care of you, and you've been seeing it at Daddy

can say that is.

Even between mummy.

And you've told yourself that you you don't have anything

to do with daddy again. Some of us also our

mommy is that SADDI are behavior. We've told ourself, I

don't want to have anything to do with mommy again.

I was telling our members in Lego on and Dad,

you see mommy and daddy. God orchestrated it that they

should give bed to you.

But I want to say something very strong here, and

I'm saying.

This to encourage those of you who thought that you

don't have a mother, you don't have a father.

I want to say this thing, and it's very strong.

Even though mommy and Daddy brought you to this world,

God is the one who has the bigger plan for

your life. God is the one who has the bigger

plan for your life. If Mommy and Daddy are not

taking care of you, go to God and God will

send you help us. I've seen it a lot of times.

When I went to invest in level one hundred, my

father died. He was the one paying my fees, and

ask myself how am I going to survive? Because my

mom was not working, No man was coming from anyway.

But God said tell this, So don't get angry at

your mom, don't get angry at your daddy. God will

present to you what you need and God will provide.

What are you talking about loving your neighbor? The church

has become somewhere. So you see the church is not growing.

The church is not growing because why it is in

church that honestly, there is no love church. And story

was one story of a man who went to the

ba ba but before going to the bar. But he

went to church with his wife and while they were

sharing their communion and they were passing the trade and

people were taking the commune. When it got to him,

something happened and the commune pulled all the people on

this line just dicey, study and shorting, are you dombe?

Why what have you put the coming on our way?

What is all this?

He became very embarrassed.

Later on, after church, he went to the beer bar

because you know, out of frustration, he just wanted to

go and drink some beer and just coolest his hat.

When he went to the ber bar, he brought the beer.

He was sapped at the counters. He was sitting there

drinking it. Somebody else came to buy beer and because

of the frustration, what the person was being saved there beer?

He ten't.

And this same and who put the community away in church,

poured the beer away. He merely put the beer away.

All the people in the back keep sorry, sorry sorry

sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry, it's okay.

It's okay. Take that, it's okay. Don't worry.

It's okay, it's okay, seemilar to have been in church.

He was chastised. In the beer bar, they said it's okay,

and amazingly they brought him more beer. He said, it's okay,

it's okay. Even had people come to sit around him.

And to share their beer together with them, to share.

It's not you see, it shouldn't be a surprise. That's

so short. Class are growing down churches. It shouldn't be

a surprise the sucker beds.

Is it coming a great thing? Don church?

See in those places there is love. There is love.

It is that the person is sitting next to you.

If you're not being told to give the person a

high five, to help the person next to you, you

love it as the person his name. You're not. They

don't touch me, don't don't don't sit next to me.

And in church that's where we have discrimination. But people

of God, the next generation check is not a church

with discrimination. It's a church with love. It's a church

with love. It's a church with love. People always in

some way, but you need to develop a character to

help you stand and then deal. That's why God give

us as the fruit of the spirit. In galligation, chatter,

long suffering and deal and write this that man down.

You cannot control.

The actions of people towards you. You cannot control the

actions of people towards you.

What you can control is your reaction. I take you again.

You cannot control people's actions towards you.

What you can control is your reaction. It's your reaction.

So how people behave towards you, You are not control it.

People will insert you. You cannot control it.

People treating a certain way, you cannot control it by

What you can control is your reaction, is your reaction.

At times you can be you can be furious, and

you want to engage, you want to issue your first command.

But as word of God to tell you relax, relax, relax,

and as you see all of us a team, yea,

we are going to be one day become leaders. We

are going to become leaders. You should always have this

in mind, that you cannot control people's action. The only

thing you can control is your reaction, the reaction, your reaction.

Somebody is asking, then if you should love our neighbors,

what am I supposed to do to show that I'm

loving my neighbor? Nor maer one have compassion, have compassion,

Have compassion, have compassion. Matthew chatter nine, invest thirty six.

Matthew Chapter nine, verse thirty six. Matthew nine vestage. The

Bible said, but when he saw the multitudes, he was

moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered,

like sheep having no shepherd. Go to First John chapter seven,

chapter three or seventeen First John chapter threever seventeen.

First John chapter.

Thre save the Bible said, but whoever has these world's

groups and see his brother in need and shuts up

his hat from him, how does the love of God

abide in him having compassion to your neighbor. Compassion, It

is a very serious thing to have. Jesus was moving

passion on them.

A lot of times.

You see our own colleagues struggling, and we have what

they need, we don't. We don't give. And unfortunately today

Nigeria movies and setting.

Preachers you're listening to has made it be.

Your own aunties become which is and wizards, your aunties

and uncles they become which.

Is with us?

So help bring them. You don't want to help them.

Even the dress you wear that now you've stopped wearing.

You cannot even take it and give it to another

person to wear because you have afraid that when you

give it to them to.

Use it against you.

Because you watch some movie and the movie somebody gave

a stranger money and the person became forever poor because

of that. Today we are not helping people. We are

not showing compassion. That knows you can compassion. How many

of us have a lot of dresses we don't wear

in our in our clothest.

You have a lot of dresses we don't wear. A

lot of us. I see we can not isily give

them out.

Before you even give them out, you want to engage

yourself in some twenty one day first, so that when

somebody works, is the person who will not transfer or

riches into something else. It's all because of movies. But

the Lord is telling us. I said, we should have

compassion on people. When people are in it, it should

show messy, help them, help them. This is what when

we do shows that we are laughing at our neighbors.

Some of us we find the love by saying now

I call you, by call you, I check up on

my friends. Oh, I check up on them. I worsapp them, No, no, no,

do you have a friend in this church? You have

a friend who is your friend? The squad, the choir,

everybody in the choir is your friend, most of them.

How many of them have you ever visited in their homes? Yeah,

you don't want me to come to you or you

visit someone.

You see.

We are unable to even visit our own friends people.

We said, yeah, friends, you can't only know what your

friend needs by getting closer to your friend. Last week

is one of the members came to me, the younger.

He's a pastor. My mother is leaving us. My moda

is living us, my moda is it's traveling to where

he said, I don't know. My mother said she's going,

and I said, so, what's going to happen? She said,

I don't know. Then all of a sudden start there crying,

sid there crying, and I said, doesn't mean you don't

know what to do? He said, I don't know. Fourteen

years fourteen years old, and he's the first one. His

siblists are seven and six. He said, Momy said he's going,

she's going.

Where is daddy? I don't know where that is. I've

not even met that day before.

And where's mammy. When Mammy said she's going to the voter,

she's going nobody to take care of us, he started

a cry. He came to stand here cry. But if

you don't have compassion, how can you help such a one?

I mean live in you yourself? You have issues? How

can you leave your issues and will help another? But

you see where you have much forgot your issues and

help other people. That is when the love of God

do a'll see you, Amen number two.

What do you have to do? You need to forgive?

You need to forgive people to show that yes, you

love them. Need to forgive some of us. Something a

friend of us did to us five years ago. We

still remember, but we still remember. We still remember. Unless

you don't see our friend, you will remember. I remember

matth two, Chapter six, matchwo Chatter six Verst twelve.

Matthews B.

Said, I forgive us our debt as we forgive our debt.

You see there's a condition.

God can only forgive you if you're forgiving anybody was

wronged you. He said, forgive us our debt as we forgive.

So until you are forgiven, you cannot be forgiven. Until

you are forgiven, you can't be forgiven. He said, forgive us.

Take me to March two, chapter eighteen, Verse twenty one.

Mar two, ch after eighteen. That's twenty one. The Bible said, damn.

Picters came to him and said, Lord, how office shall

I'm rather saying against me? And I forgive you up

to seven times? And listen to what you said. I

said verse thirty two. Jesse I said to him, I

do not say to you up to seven times, but

afterwards afterwards seventeen times seven. That does not means that countenance.

It means that forgive always, forgive all the time, forgive

all the time, forgive all the time. You see a

lot of times, and when people hurt you and you

keep it in your heart, it's like you have drunk

poison for your own self, like you've drunk some police poison,

expecting the seem to die.

You are.

You have drunk it, and you're expecting somebody else to die.

Unforgiveness it kills a lot. Forgive people. Forgive people. Somebody

is saying about the thing that they keep doing it

to me, they keep hurting me, they keep doing it,

they keep hurting me.

Tell you something, forgive them, Forgive them forgive them. The

greatest goal in life.

Is to accomplish your purpose in life and go back

to the father who created you, which is God.

Holding all these things.

Becomes a load that will not help you to enter

into the kingdom of heavyth. All these things becomes a

load and you cannot use You cannot go with it

because it becomes so heavy, comes so heavy. Who has

wronged you? It's as I'm talking, you should be thinking

through who has wronged me?

Who has wronged me? What's wrong?

Some of us are boyfriends, our boyfriends. Some of Somebody

told me just last week that the boyfriend said should

break up, that she break up, and when she looks

at the investments, the thing she has given to the boy,

it's enough that breaking up will not help them situition.

The guys said, let's break up, the lady also saying, no,

we can't break up. The guys said, let's break up.

The lady said, no, you can't break up. So the

lady came to me, pastor, what should I do? And

I said, breakup, breakup, because it's not by fault.

Breakup.

Then he said, Pasta, if I break up, I can't

forgive the guy. I say you forgive him, because if

you don't forgive him, you'll not be able to have

peace with other men.

Who come to you to propose.

You think that all men has come, like you are

saying in your mind, some of you are saying, all

men has come. All men are the same. They are

the same. They deceive people, they deceive us. All men

are not the same. I am a married man, I

have children, I love my wife. All men are not

the same. Your father is still in love with your mother?

Is a're not it?

I don't know, say taking of you, all men they're same.

If you didn't find the good brand, say all men.

Now that's say amen, forgive people, forgive people, Halle Lawyer.

The last thing, the last thing shepherd people, shapperd people.

So the first one have compassion on people, the second

one forgive people, and the third one shaperd people. In otherwise,

take care of people, take care of people.

Look chapter.

Take me into Matthew, Chapter twenty five, Matthew twenty five,

thirty four to forty. Matt two twenty five ver thirty

four to forty. Let's do this and then we're close.

John twenty one, Sorry, John twenty one, John twenty one,

verse fifteen to seventeen, John twenty one fifteen to seventeen.

We do this and that we're close, he says.

So when they had eighteen breakfast, Jesus said to people, Simon,

son of Jordanah, do you love me more than this?

He said to him, Yes, Lord, you know that I

love you. He said to him, feed my lamps.

In other ways, feed my people, feed my children, feed

my sheep, feed people, take care of people, take care

of people, Take care of people as a church, as

next young church, we need to take care of people.

We need to help people. It is by helping people

that this church can be filled. It has by saying

to the needs of people that this church can become

what God wants this church to become. We can not

sit in our own ways. We can not sit in

our rooms and feeling okay, No, no. God didn't create

men to be loneless. God creat men to be helpless

of men. Hello, God creates what man? He created man

to be? What helpless of men?

Don't sit?

I told Mello and said, I mean, I mean, I'm

an improvet. No, you're not introvet. Don't you yourself? Siata

titles I'm an introvert. You're not an introphant. To odd

has made you to dwell among people. Hello, Amen, tell

yourself from today. I'm not an introvert because God met

me to dwell with people. Rights to your feet, Right
