-
Hallelujah. Amen. This morning. God has sent me with one word to
-
give to you a man, and I believe that it blesses your heart and
-
it causes you to change in the right direction so that God's purpose can be
-
brought to bear in your life. Amen. Please tell your neighbor for free.
-
The days of being an ordinary Christian should come to an end. You
-
should be a supernatural Christian. You should be an extra ordinary Christian. Amen.
-
And you should exercise yourself in the Kingdom of God. Amen. And
-
so today I'm here to speak to you about the will of God. The
-
will of God as an extension to the Kingdom series that our past us have
-
been teaching us. Amen. Let's celebrate the men of God in the house
-
of Reverend James Francis past The body was in the houses. I don't know
-
if he's still around. I'm sure. Oh he's over there. Oh,
-
let's celebrate. I didn't hear. Amen, all the shepherds or the pastors.
-
Amen. God bless you for your labor of love and you're working the
-
house of God. May God remember you this year. Amen. And so
-
let's take our foundation scripture. Matthew chapter six, verse nine to ten.
-
Matthew Chapter six that's ninety ten. After Jesus had preached powerful messages to a
-
multitude, the disciples came to him and said, Lord, teach us how
-
to pray. And in Jesus speaking to them, Jesus gave them the pattern
-
of prayer. And he said, when you pray, pray in this manner.
-
Therefore, pray our Father in heaven. Our Father in Heaven simply means
-
said the hollow would be your name. It's a recognition of God as the
-
king of kings, as the Lord of lords, as the one who reigns,
-
is supreme in all things. He is the author of life, the
-
very existence of all things. So it requires for us to acknowledge God in
-
everything that we do. Amen. The Bible says that in all your ways,
-
acknowledge Him, and He will direct your path. And so the part
-
in Jesus gave was that when you begin to pray, there should be a
-
place to acknowledge God. And your acknowledgment can even be in a form of
-
thanksgiving, where you are remembering what God has done for you, what you
-
are expecting God to do for you, and you give thanks willingly and consciously
-
to Him. And he said, your kingdom come, your will be done
-
on earth as it is in Heaven. The subject or the syllables of the
-
Kingdom of God cannot be over emphasized because Jesus came preaching the Kingdom of God.
-
The subject of the Kingdom of God. Like your said name. Amen,
-
if your name is Quaku mensa, what makes you complete is when you
-
mentioned quapu and you add mensa to it. So, as a child of
-
God, you can't just call yourself a Christian and know nothing about the Kingdom
-
of God, because our very existence has to be within the context of the
-
Kingdom of God. So God's power, God's will, and God's purpose can
-
be brought to bear through us. Amen. Ignorance about the Kingdom of God
-
is not an excuse. Amen. And as a child of God, I'm
-
here to remind you of the important things God needs you to know about the
-
Kingdom, because once you know about the Kingdom, you're very outlookal change.
-
Your life will change, what drives you will change, your purpose will change.
-
Even the things you insist on will change because you realize that in the
-
Kingdom, God's will is supreme. God's will raise, God's rule will rules.
-
Amen. And so just permit me to share few thoughts with you this
-
morning. Amen. So in this passage, Jesus mentions one kingdom that exists
-
simultaneously, the Kingdom of God, according to the New Testament writers. Some
-
gospels, the writer used the Kingdom of God because the audience was the Jewish
-
people, the people of God. They had the concept of the kingdom already.
-
Other writers use the Kingdom of Heaven because the audience that were receiving the
-
message of the Gospel were not born again, They were not the children of
-
God. They were gentiles who had no knowledge of foresight about the Kingdom of
-
God. So when you hear the Kingdom of God or the Kingdom of Heaven,
-
is the same thing. So Jesus speaks of one kingdom that is running
-
simultaneously. Now the Kingdom of God is made manifest and established in Heaven where
-
God is. And by Jesus coming to die on the cross of Calvary as
-
the greatest sacrifice, he came to establish the Kingdom of God here on earth.
-
So, if you read your scriptures very well, the past us or
-
the messengers that were sent to bring the good news, who say repent.
-
John the Baptist came preaching repentance, he says, repent for the Kingdom of
-
God is at hand. The Kingdom of God is near. When Jesus came,
-
he said, the Kingdom of God is here, is near you.
-
It is right here. And when Jesus died, the Kingdom of God was
-
established in the hearts of men. On the day of Pentacos, when there
-
was an outpouring of the spirit of God that brought to bear the full manifestation
-
of the establishment of God's kingdom in the heart of man. So the Kingdom
-
of God on earth should synchronize with the Kingdom of God in heaven. And
-
so Jesus said, when you pray, pray the Lord, let your kingdom
-
come. Let your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.
-
In heaven, God's will reigns supreme. The tragedy to humanity is that God
-
gave us a will. Yes, that is one tragedy of humanity. If
-
God had taken the will, will still be In the guardian of hidden room,
-
somebody said, he adds apple, and see the way we are suffering.
-
If she heads, Papushito finished, Amen, And with how God has
-
made man, you can exercise your will to understand. There are people who
-
are born and giving a name, and as they are growing, they will
-
say, I don't like this name. I'm choosing another name, and they
-
will insist on it. And they will go and change documents. And when
-
you call them by their old name, don't mind you until you they will
-
insist on their will. So man has the ability to insist on his own
-
will. But for the Kingdom of God to be brought to bear in us
-
and to be revealed and to be established as believers who are called by the
-
name of the Lord, we cannot insist on our will, Amen, because
-
by insisting on our will, it will take us far away from what God
-
has predefined for it to happen in our lives. Can I hear an Amen?
-
If you're understanding me, please say amen. If you don't understand me,
-
please say amen. If you don't understand the English I'm speaking, please
-
say amen. Okay, yes, some people they say amen to everything.
-
Amen. So we thank God. You all understand Amen. So an important
-
aspect of the Kingdom of God coming to be manifested in our lives is to
-
constantly pray for God's will to be done. Amen. It's constantly praying for
-
God's will to be done. I had a story about a group of Ghanians
-
who were working in a hotel in the US and they were all cool.
-
They were fine until they made one guy the supervisor of them all. And
-
this guy decided to become a tyrant overnight and was he was seriously on their
-
case that many peop had to leave. You see, you won't know that
-
you have the ability to exercise a devilish will and to impose yourself on people
-
until you are given the opportunity. And it's a dangerous place to be because
-
once you are in that place, you will forgot what God's will is and
-
you will insist on what you want. Amen. So it's important as a
-
church to always pray for God's will to be done in the church. Amen.
-
Because pastes are men and women, we have a will. I can
-
insist, pas a James can insist as a France can. We want it
-
done this way. If it's not done this way, we will access understand.
-
But if you pray for God's will to be done, because we are
-
spirit men who are led by the spirit of God. The Bible says,
-
at the heart of a king is in the hands of the Lord, and
-
he steers it wherever you want it to be. Amen. So, by
-
praying for the will of God to be done, God himself will insist on
-
his will, and his will will be done. Can I hear an amen?
-
Amen? So? In Martha chapter sixth Las nine, as we've read,
-
Jesus thought this pattern and he revealed this mystery to us. That God's
-
kingdom is in heaven, and it's here on earth as well. But for
-
the Kingdom of God to be made manifest fully, his will is important in
-
the equation. His will is the constant factor in the equation, and he
-
always has to have pre eminence for what he wants to be done. Can
-
I hear an amen? Amen? So? What is God's will for us?
-
God's will is broad. I can't teach you about God's will right now
-
all of it. There are various dimensions to God's will. But our attempt
-
just to give you us a slight, you know, in a room and
-
snide something, just so that you can pick up from wherever. Amen.
-
First Timothy chapter two, vers. Three to six. Firstimothy Chapter two,
-
vers. Three to six. And the Bible says that for this is good
-
and acceptable in the sight of God, our savior. He says, it
-
is good. So the things that are about to be said is good and
-
it's acceptable. So if this is good, it means the other things that
-
can be bad and unacceptable in the sight of God. Amen. He says
-
that God desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of
-
the truth. God desires for all men to be saved and to come to
-
the knowledge of the truth. This is the will of God for humanity.
-
Amen. This is the will of God for you and I, that we
-
are all saved and we come to the knowledge of the truth. What is
-
the truth? The truth is this that Jesus Christ is the son of the
-
mossaiahd who because God loved us, he sent him to come and to die
-
for us, to redeem us and to reconcile us back onto God according to
-
his regional intent for us, because God wanted to establish a relationship between man
-
and himself. And Bible records that God will come in the cool of the
-
day and walk in the garden with Adam. That is God's or is he?
-
What Adam has done to us? Adam has robbed us of walking with
-
God in the garden but God wants to re establish that connection and that relationship.
-
Amen. And by believing in Christ Jesus his son, that relationship is
-
re established. And now God does not walk with us, but God comes
-
to live in us. Amen. That we represent the embodiment of God himself.
-
And if we can only put our will aside, then the God,
-
who is God over all flesh, who lives in us by his spirit,
-
can walk through us. He can speak through us, he can minister through
-
us. Amen. That is the intent of God for us, that all
-
men will be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth. Amen.
-
For there is one God and one mediata between God and men, the man
-
Christ, Jesus, who gave himself a ransom for us to be testified in
-
due time. Amen. And so Apostle Paul writes in the Acts of the
-
Apostles Acts, Chapter two thirty eight that God's will is that all mankind will
-
recognize the truth that Jesus is the Son of God, and by that we
-
are saved by it. As long as the Kingdom of God is concerned,
-
it is being established whenever people are confessing Jesus and expressing their faith in repentance
-
and in baptism. So for as long as people are being saved, the
-
Kingdom of God is being established. Amen. Please preach your neighbors seated by
-
you. Do you know the Kingdom of God is in you? Or please
-
preach to someone else, Do you know the Kingdom of God is in you?
-
Please preach to them again? Tell them that do you know that for
-
the Kingdom of God to have expression in your life, the will of God
-
has to be done in you? Amen. And so God is amazing in
-
that he has put a whole kingdom inside of us. And in Matthew six
-
thirty three, which is a popular scripture, the scripture declares that but seek
-
ye first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all other things shall
-
be added. The mystery of seeking the Kingdom of God is that it brings
-
other things. Many people want to be blessed. Many people want to be
-
prosperous. Many How many of you wants money here? Amen? Oh?
-
Some answ are like this. They don't. You don't want money? He
-
want money? Amen. Prosperity Amen, Oh, the amullionaires Amen. Without
-
So you see, prosperity is a by product. It is not the main
-
thing. When it comes to the kingdom of God. Prosperity is a by
-
product of seeking God fast and his kingdom. Amen. Because the Bible declares
-
that Isaac sowed in the land, God told him, don't go to Egypt,
-
stay here. He sold in the land, and by his obedience God
-
blessed them with one hundredfold blessing. The same year he reaped a hundred fold
-
I've given this testimony many times. About twenty thirteen, I was in between
-
jobs and the people I worked for they hadn't paid me for six months.
-
So I I was driving their car and I said, if you don't pay
-
me my money, I will sell your car and I'll bring you the change.
-
Eventually I took their carunt to them and they me. But I was
-
in between jobs and my bank accounts were already you know, zero, And
-
for me, it was a season where God was teaching me to rely only
-
on him. I was lending to rely because you know, God is el
-
should I He's own sufficient God. Amen. So when you learn to me
-
abasing your insufficiency, then as the Bible says that in our weakness His strength
-
is made perfect, then you begin to walk in the strength of God and
-
in the provision of God. I used to fast in those days. One
-
woman saw me one time, I must you have to eat. You look
-
like poky GAMMI, and I s, I don't know what you're talking about.
-
We are seeking God. What is food much? I don't live by
-
bread alone. You're not ready it. You've not read much and not live.
-
I read alone. I was praying and one day one of my cousins,
-
she works for the US government. She's a doctor. She's loaded just
-
plenty dollars, but she's very stingy. She will not give you NATO for
-
NATO no matter what. She won't mind you. I was home on a
-
Saturday and she came to this and she was like, oh, Charlie,
-
how's it going. And she gave me fifty cities. When she gave you
-
the money, I said wow. She didn't understand why I said wow,
-
but I said wow, and I said hey, I put the money in
-
my wallet. As a young man, I was a bachelor. Then I'd
-
already made plans. I used to like eat in combef stew because on campus
-
I used to make con vif stew. Nice man. I was going to
-
buy rice, make com vif stew and Charlie Sunday afternoon after coming to sing,
-
then I'll go home and come back for everything served. So I used
-
to do three service on a Sunday. So those of you when you come
-
for just one service and you don't, you just you're in a heart.
-
I don't even know what is wrong with you. I used to do three.
-
I come for first service. I've been viewed to seeing second service.
-
I'll stayed with, I'll close, I'll go home. I used to live
-
at Catamanso. Our drive home, I'll go and sleep small. I'll drive
-
back for evening service and then our head back home. At ten pm Monday
-
morning, I'll be my dress, I'll go to empty end house, go
-
and work. So I brought a fifty series in the evening to check towards
-
my wallets. The plan was Monday our actions. While the Man of God
-
was praying, was preaching, I was worshiping God subconsciously. I was worshiping
-
God. And then the Lord spoke. And if you've heard the voice of
-
God before, God is a king. God does not shout. Kings don't
-
shout Amen. So you need to quiet your spirits to the place where you
-
can hear his voice and the Lord said, I need that fifty cities from
-
you. And you see, because I know the voice of God. I'd
-
been fascinate and praying for more than a year, so those things were difficult
-
around me. I was at peace. So the moment I heard the voice
-
of God, I took the fifty cities and I took an envelope and put
-
it inside. And so when the pastor walked the main stage, when he
-
walked to this side, then we used to sit on the stage. Then
-
I just walked and dropped my seat. So while the envelope was turning around
-
in the air to land, I had turned around. By the time the
-
envelope fell down. The man stopped preaching and he walked straight to me,
-
and he said, God said I should tell you for your obedience, He's
-
going to send three companies to come looking for you. It was fifty sears
-
old. I wish I had five million dollars like I'll give go to God.
-
Three weeks later, two companies contacted me. Another company contacted me.
-
They said they've been looking for somebody to do a specific job. They said
-
it's now coming into gand and they need somebody to bridge the guard between them
-
and empty and to do some integrations. And they've looked down one year and
-
they can't find anybody. They just saw my profile on LinkedIn. Am I
-
interested? And I said, Oh, let's look at what what are you
-
offering? Oh? Yes, and so we did. I had I went
-
through through four interviews, all online in the comfort of my whole. Then
-
oh, call the CEEO of this company. Then this, oh, Charlie.
-
Then he finished and they said, okay, fine, we'll pay you
-
five thousand for status. So then it okayd to me. Five thousand is
-
one hundredfold of fifty cities amen, when you obeyed God and I five thousand
-
is no money. Now you get it by was money then? So I
-
was wishing that, Charlie, I had some plenty money that God, God
-
asked me for this one. Let me give it to you. But I
-
was only fifty cities. I had to understand when you obey the voice of
-
God, it guarantees you a hundredfold blessing. Amen. When you hear the
-
voice of God and you obeyed, it will guarantee you a hundred fold pless.
-
And God has blessed me since then up until now. You know the
-
things I didn't even ask for is giving to me. Amen. The only
-
thing I consciously asked for after my daughters were gone was that God, I
-
want a son, and He's giving me a son. Amen. And it
-
is for his purpose to correct an error in my blood line. Now,
-
whatever error transpired before me, it will not go beyond me. Amen.
-
So in the Kingdom of God, God wants to bring expression of his kingdom
-
through us. But we can't get to that place if we don't allow the
-
will of God to be done through us. Can I hear an? Amen?
-
And so if you study the concept of the Kingdom of God, it
-
will bring you to the parables Jesus spoke. Now, how many of you
-
know that Jesus is the author of our faith, and so he's the author
-
and the finisher of our faith. So when it comes to Christianity, begin
-
to look at Christianity in the concept of the Kingdom of God, because it
-
will change your mindset about a lot of things. J understand, when you
-
dwell so much on Christianity as a religion, you want to be identified with
-
only a small group. But when you identify with the Kingdom of God,
-
you are identifying with the broader body of Christ. So then you can flow
-
and fit everywhere you go. It doesn't matter what the doctrine of the house
-
is. Amen. And so Jesus, because of what he has done for
-
us, everything is said is very valuable to us. Amen. And Jesus
-
spoke forty three parables, and thirteen of the forty three parables he said,
-
the Kingdom of God is like It means Jesus was interested in revealing the Kingdom
-
of God to us. So we know what the Kingdom of God is like,
-
so that we can walk in it and apply ourselves to the Kingdom of
-
God. Amen. So, if you are a child of God, a
-
Christian, a born again Christian who has been purchased by precious blood, and
-
you are not interested in the Kingdom of God, I don't know where you
-
expect to go where you die from here. I don't know where you expect
-
to go when you leave this earth. Amen. Let's look at Mark chapter
-
four, verse three, and so Jesus spoke a parable about the soa.
-
Please tell your neighbor the soa. So in our contemporary terms, the soa
-
is a farmer, someone who shows seed, Amen, someone who does what
-
who shows seed? Amen. And so Jesus said, behold, and so
-
I went out, and it happened as he sold, that some seed fell
-
by the wayside. If your neighbor is sleeping, please not your name.
-
If you can give your neighbor, and give your neighbor and knock, you'll
-
save them. It will save them because Satan doesn't want them to hear what
-
will give them life. Amen. The demon that is working with them is
-
just blowing onto the eye. Sleep now, amen, because the demon knows
-
that what will save your life is coming to you. Amen. And so
-
it says that some fell by the wayside, and the birds of the air
-
came and devoured it. So seed, what is seed? The purpose of
-
seed is to plant and to get a tree that reproduces after its kind.
-
So in the beginning, when God created all things, including herbs and trees
-
and plants, the trees brought forthward fruit that had seed to reproduce after its
-
kind. Amen. So now the seed is supposed to bring a kind of
-
fruitfulness or multiplication to the farmer. So imagine, if you have sown seed,
-
and beds come and eat your seed, then it means your venture is
-
an unprofitable venture. When it is time for harvest, there will be nothing
-
to harvest. And then let's look at the next verse. Some fell on
-
stony ground. Some fell on stony ground where it did not have much earth,
-
And immediately it's crank up. But it had no depth of earth.
-
But when the sun was up, it scortched it because it had no roots,
-
and it with it. Now, this parable that Jesus spoke, the
-
meaning of the parable reveals to us the four heart conditions of man. The
-
four heart conditions of man. And when it comes to the Kingdom of God,
-
it is a heart matter. Please tell your neighbor for free. When
-
it comes to the Kingdom of God, it is a heart matter. Amen.
-
Because in the Kingdom of God, we don't go and stand at an
-
embassy to apply for a visa. If you want to go to the Kingdom
-
of Uae Dubai, you need a visa. But in the Kingdom of God,
-
we are birth into the Kingdom of God. We are born into the
-
Kingdom of God. So when they Coodemus came to Jesus, Jesus said that
-
you need to be born again. By being born again, you are born
-
into the Kingdom of God. And you can only be born again into the
-
Kingdom of God. When you believe in your heart that Jesus is the Son
-
of God. When you confess Jesus as Lord, then you are born again
-
into the Kingdom of God. So the second heart condition was that the seed
-
fell on stony ground. The third heart condition was that some seeds fell among
-
thorns. It fell among thorns, and as the seed grew into a plant,
-
the thorns also grew and they choked. They choked the seed the plant.
-
They choked it, so it was unprofit. It didn't profit. The
-
plant didn't have any fruits because it choked it to it death. But other
-
seed fell on good ground and yielded. A crop that's sprung up increased and
-
produced some thirtyfold, some sixty four, some one hundredfold. And so this
-
is a heart condition that can hear the voice of God. So in this
-
heart condition of a good ground that receives the good seed, you can hear
-
the voice of God. So you are guaranteed a hundredfold blessing. Sixty fold
-
blessings is when you are kind towards one another. Bible says that love your
-
neighbor as yourself love one another. Let this mind be in you that was
-
in Christ. Jesus, when you have the mind of Christ towards one another,
-
you are guaranteed sixty fold blessings. When you obey your past, this
-
and men of God that have been set upon you, you are guaranteed twenty
-
four blessings. Amen. So if he meets Passa James after changing, say
-
o Passagen, something small for you, and he says, God bless you,
-
that is a guarantee of fault bless Amen. Amen. So let's jump
-
to verse eleven for the meaning of the parable that Jesus spoke, because it's
-
important. Jesus said that the mystery of the kingdom has been revealed to you,
-
but for people who are outside, it is spoken to them in parables
-
because they don't have a concept. They don't have a concept amen of it.
-
And so that scene they may see and not perceive, and hearing they
-
may hear and not understand, lest they should tend and their sins be forgiven.
-
Satan doesn't want you to tend to God for your sins to be forgiven,
-
so he will keep you ignorant. In ignorant, you will wallow in
-
ignorance completely and totally to deny yourself a blessing that comes from God. They's
-
thirty and he said to them, do you not understand this parable? How
-
then will you understand all parables? The sore souls, word, the Word,
-
the Kingdom of God, the will of God. The will of God
-
is the word of God. Because when a king speaks, what he has
-
spoken or decreed is a command, and the command of God, when it
-
is obeyed, is doing the will of the King. So the word the
-
soa sows the word God has sown his word. God has appointed pastors and
-
man and women of God who bring to you the Word of God. Amen.
-
And so daily the word of God is being sown in your heart so
-
that the Kingdom of God can find expression in your life. Now, the
-
question is what heart condition do you have that you are receiving the Word of
-
God with. It's your heart condition, the wayside heart condition. Is it
-
a stony heart heart condition, is it a thorny ground heart condition, or
-
is it the good ground heart condition? Because all these heart conditions have a
-
way that brings the Word of God to bear in your life. Amen.
-
Verse fifteen. If you understand the English I'm speaking, please say amen.
-
If you don't understand what I'm saying, please say amen, because it's important
-
that you understand. If you come to church and you don't understand the preaching
-
it is, it's a waste of time. Amen. Ve'se. Fifteen.
-
The Bible says that, and these are the ones that felt by the wayside
-
where the word is sown. When they hear Satan comes quickly and takes away
-
the word that is sown in their hearts. So the farmer who so cast
-
the seed by the wayside, birds come and steal the word. They steal
-
the seed because they know the importance of the seed. If they leave the
-
seed to grow, it will bring something glorious. So say time steals the
-
word out of their hearts. Amen. Please ask your neighbor, are you
-
the one the person is talking about? Amen? Because for the word of
-
God, which is the will of God to profit you as a child of
-
God, the will the Word has to be planted in your heart. It
-
has to be planted in your heart so that it can grow and bear fruit.
-
Amen. The third heart conditions that these like likewise are the ones sown
-
on stony ground, who, when they hear the word, immediately receive it
-
with gladness. They receive the Word with gladness. Amen. These people are
-
usually the loudest in church. Their amens are the loudest Amen. They shouts
-
very they are. They are the loudest ones. They receive the Word with
-
gladness. When you say receive it. They don't just say I receive the
-
say I receive it and then they'll do swel They they receive the Word with
-
gladness. Those are the type of people when when you lose the message was
-
pathed the message, then if you if you ask which part did you?
-
They don't say everything because they receive the Word with gladness, Amen. But
-
afterward they lose it when tribulation or persecution arises for the words. When you
-
are tested because of the Word, you have received the seed in you.
-
Immediately they stumble. Immediately they stumble. And when they stumble, because the
-
word is a spiritual seed. When you stumble, you forfeit the results of
-
it. And then immediately they stumble when you are when they are those type
-
of people who are there, fear pressure prone people shout out to all of
-
you. Fear pressure prop people. When they are in change, they behave
-
like change. The moment they go out of church yesterday, Bishop Johnny said,
-
an ice proverb isact. There are some people they will never throw a
-
stone until they are in a group. The moment you are in a group
-
the quicker stone and throw right now, Charlie, let's go, let's go,
-
let's then you're inside. Those are the type of people. Amen.
-
So the moment they start saying that, oh, by you even be graevel
-
like that, I never know. They said they started walking streets because in
-
church they are known as Christians. But when they go out and they are
-
with their friends, they don't want to be when even meet them as a
-
Christian bird and say, oh, praise Lord Christy you Charlie, how far
-
when they are with their friends and they are giving vibes, they are gossiping,
-
there is no semblance of Christianity or Christ in them. Amen. So
-
the moment people find out by you they good church away, Charlie, when
-
we are talking and you're also talking his own by you. There was some
-
guy he used to be the class preferat or profanity in my school. No,
-
no, he was. He was the son of a pastor. The
-
day we found out that he was, the way we dealt with him,
-
say by you. You have pastor son and you are behaving like this.
-
So there is no semblance of Christ in him. Amen, please go back
-
to the scripture here for me. Now, these are the ones that are
-
sown among thorns. They are the ones who when they hear the word,
-
that's nineteen and the cares of this world number one, The cares of this
-
world number two, the deceitfulness of riches number three, the desires for other
-
things entering shock the word. The cares of this world. They know everything
-
and anything going on in this our world. On a Sunday, they are
-
not in church, nicely dressed. On Monday, they'll be working on this
-
study. Have big earphones in their ears. They're listening to Sarka shata Wali.
-
They are soaking shata wali. If you see they're walking, you know
-
that, Charlie, the song the person isn't listening to is not a Christian
-
song. The cares of this world, Charlie Today, that's a program.
-
Yere tomorrow, that's a program. Yeah. They are preoccupied with everything and
-
anything when there is nothing happening in Charlie, make we meet up, hangouts,
-
let's go to the beach, and they grow with it. So even
-
when they are old and they are married and they have responsibility. On a
-
Sunday and wee days you come to church, Charlie, let's go to a
-
brilliant goat and move to Then you see the more they all buy Hali Davis
-
and bikes. Then you see them brutally. They're going Sunday morning church time.
-
They're going to Tamu Tou. You get it. They will join and
-
association. They like associations, yes, mini cooper associations. Yes, you
-
see them. Someday they are sitting in their minipoopers. They are driving up
-
the mountain. You understand the cares of this world. They are interested in
-
everything about everybody else. And you see the interesting. The angel is not
-
the Phlippians two for one. No, let this might be you as well
-
as in Christ Jesus. No, it's not a time. This one is
-
too prop to see that some conncern. We can stay somewhere. So when
-
they come close to you, they have come to see the information and then
-
they'll talk. They are on the air card words, bloggers now or something.
-
They're on social media. They can put you on their page and they
-
will dress you nicely. You see some small boy. He doesn't even know
-
it's younger left from right, insulting brown people. Every matter, they'll put
-
their mouth into it. Do you understand the cares of this world? That
-
deceitfulness of riches? If you cannot learn to change God, to see God
-
when you don't have money. When you have money, you will not seek
-
gold. There was a young guy he used to can't. I used to
-
see them around the lords. They'll come over. They said, we want
-
to be prayer warriors, and they're following their prayers. I said. One
-
guy came and was talking. I could see through the beers. I told
-
him that you if you get money now, you will save God again.
-
He started getting moneys more he disappeared. Do you understand there's deceitfulness of riches?
-
If you can't see God in little or insufficiency, when you are all
-
sufficient, God would be nothing to you. Do you know why it's so
-
difficult to preach to a Richmond salvation? Because they are all sufficient. They
-
don't worry about when you are thinking of what to eat in the evening,
-
Tali. They have a cook. There's a menu, and when you are
-
thinking about challenge tomorrow. How we survive. We need to rely on God.
-
Pray to God for a miracle. If they desire not to work for
-
ten years, they assorted because their bank account is smiling. Amen. The
-
deseasefulness of riches that with riches you don't need God. Listen. There are
-
people who are all the money in the world that they are very sick and
-
there is no medicine. There is no cure for their sickness. There are
-
lots of people who have a lot of money. They can't sleep. They
-
sleep one hour day when you are sleeping and you are snoring to their fortieth
-
degree, they are awake, you said them. They will just be pacing
-
in their house. They don't know what to do. Amen, They will
-
just be because if they sleep, they will die. They are afraid to
-
die. So Amen. And the desires for other things entering chokes the word
-
of God. They please ask, what are your desires? Amen? What
-
are your These people desire all sorts of things, and these things choke the
-
word of God. Amen. They desire all sorts of things. People desire
-
all sorts of things that it gives room for devils to inhabit them demons.
-
Because of your desire for things demons have access to you. There was a
-
guy who used to come here to change that was working here. His desire
-
was to go to school abroad. That was his desire. He went to
-
school, he got God opened the way. He got you. Now he's
-
there. He's gay. Your desire will open the devil to you. Amen,
-
what are your desires that are choking God's word out of your heart?
-
Because in the Kingdom of God, God is a business man. When he
-
planted the garden, he says, I need someone to tend this garden.
-
And when he put Adam there, he gave him instructions of what to do
-
in the garden. Every seed God has spoken. The Bible says that for
-
my words will depart from me and return to me void, but it will
-
accomplish every purpose for which I sent it. God's word goes with a purpose,
-
and he needs to accomplish the purpose before it returns to God. So,
-
what are your desires that are choking the word of God out of you,
-
which is making you unfruitful as a child of God. One sign in
-
the Kingdom of God. When the Kingdom of God is establishing you and the
-
will of God is being done in you, one sign that is visible for
-
all to see is fruitfulness. That will be fruitfulness all around you. Amen.
-
Let's look happens twenty quickly twenty Yes. But these are the one son
-
on good ground, and those who hear the word of God, they accept
-
the word and bear fruit some thirtyfold, some sixty, some hundred. Amen.
-
Let's look at Galicians five twenty two quickly. The word of God is
-
profitable. The word of God is profitable. But if you receive it with
-
a wayside heart condition, a stony ground heart condition, and thorny ground heart
-
condition, it will profit you nothing. Amen. In Galicians five parcel Letters
-
to the Church in Galicia, he speaks about the fruit of the spirit.
-
You might as well call this the fruit of the kingdom, because in the
-
kingdom what is uniform across for all the members is the display of these Amen.
-
He says. But the fruit of the spirit is love, joy,
-
peace, long suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness. So if you're not
-
walking in this gentilness. When I was in second so I was going to
-
stand for head boy. The people they didn't like me. They said I'm
-
too gentle for the post. And I said, what has gentility got to
-
do with head boy, isn't they Gentility said that should be one of the
-
talks. They denied me head boy. But as God will have it,
-
the school perfect and they assistant perfects. They were in my class, and
-
I was the class perfect over them. So I peppered them in their class.
-
When they are talking, aid my friends said, I'll deal with you.
-
Amen. So gentleness self control against such. There is no law,
-
Amen, in the Kingdom of God. They are laid down patterns of what
-
God expects. So the life cycle of rebeliever is when you become born again
-
and you become a child of God. Thank you, you become what a
-
child of God? There is an expectation. You don't become a new convert
-
in perpetuity. No, you are supposed to be disciples, be a disciple
-
of Jesus Christ. Through your life cycle, you should get to a point
-
where you are either teaching the word of God or you are a pastoring somebody.
-
Amen. So for many of you here ten years from now, you
-
should not just be a checkcomer. You should be working in the house.
-
You should be a shepherd or something. You should be a soul. And
-
now who is winning souls? Telling people about the Kingdom of God, preaching
-
the gospel. You should be someone who can share God's word easily because you
-
are studying the word of God for yourself. You are receiving it with gladness
-
and accepting it. Can I hear an Amen? So many people don't have
-
self control. It is a virtue of the spirit. They don't have work
-
long suffering. The moment you squeeze them small, then they'll they'll misbehave or
-
those he will be Ji. We're grabbing debule Amen. There was a man
-
who those days, a few years back, who was doing action city churches,
-
and there was a situation where the man had called somebody and was saying
-
some terrible things, as though, I'm trying to deceive the church to collect
-
money and put in my pocket. And as God would have it, I
-
was there when the call came and he put it on speaker, so I
-
had it. Then in a meeting later he was talking and pretending as though,
-
so I said, oh, Office, I heard you say this and
-
this and this, and you see when you speak truth to power, the
-
end results, especially when you're young, is that you don't respect They say,
-
we don't respect this one craft Amini and I said, oh, I'm
-
sorry. Now I just had to do, you know, because we use
-
wisdom to navigate, and that they went to Amen. But you need long
-
suffering because in this life you'll be tested. Amen. You'll be tested the
-
sisters. When you finish university, you do your masters, you are going
-
to look for a job. They are foolish men who don't fear God.
-
Amen. And their whole aim in life is to destroy the systems of Zion.
-
You need long suffering. You need your head screwed over. Your showed
-
us very well so that they don't take advantage of you. You need to
-
walk in the fruit of the spirit. So no foolish boy, it comes
-
to driving mersities benz just to deceive you when you seek God first and his
-
righteousness. Mers It bens is nothing, Amen. Mersites benz is nothing.
-
You can buy messitypns with your own money, from your own marget. Amen.
-
And so I'm here to encourage somebody that Jesus came preaching the Kingdom of
-
God, and the purpose for it is for God to have his kingdom expressed
-
through us. So just like Jesus walked and he healed many, and he
-
did wonderful things that God can't do the same through us. Amen, tell
-
your neighbor for free. God wants to do amazing things through you. Oh,
-
please tell them like you believe it. Tell them God wants to do
-
amazing things through you. But until His will is done in you, it
-
can't come to pass. Can you please rise on your feet? Thank you
-
Jesus. You just want to pray one prayer tonight this morning. I beg
-
your pardon that Lord, let your kingdom be established in me, and let
-
your will be done through me, that your kingdom can have expression in me,
-
and that your will can find expression in me. Can you open your
-
mouth and pray this fab and prayer to the Lord. Pray this prayer that
-
must be answered, that God will break to pass its papers as will through
-
you. When it comes to the purpose and the will of God, the
-
Bible said, what eyes have not seen, what ears have not heard,
-
what has not entered into the heart of any man, those are the things
-
that God is able to do. Because you might not know what plans God
-
has for you. But if God's will is done through you, then God
-
can set you on the paths of righteousness to bring you to that expected place.
-
Just say a prayer to the Lord. Open your mouth, don't be
-
shy, don't be shy, just pray that prayer favently to the Lord.
-
That Father, I want your will to be done in me. I want
-
your kingdom to be established. I want your kingdom to find expression in me.
-
I need your will to be to find expression in me, so the
-
Lord I can come to the place of God that you have appointed for me.
-
Thank you, Lord Jesus. Let's said, be your holy name in
-
Jesus' mighty name. Amen. Please lift your right hand to the Lord with
-
me, say, Heavenly, Father, I thank you for your word that
-
has come today. Because I want your kingdom to find expression in me.
-
Today I submit my will to your will. Let your will have pre eminence
-
in my life in the name of your son Jesus. Let's your will have
-
pre eminence in my life in the name of Jesus. Finally, lets your
-
will find expression in my life. In the mighty name of Jesus. Can
-
you clap your hands and pray the sprayer. I've come higher up at all,
-
sunny, at all, Thank you Jesus and Jesus mighty day. Amen.
-
Every head bowed, every closed, if you are here, you are
-
not born again. You have not willingly confessed Jesus, you have not willingly
-
believed in him. Then this is an opportunity. The Bible says that for
-
this purpose, the Son of Man was made manifested to destroy the works of
-
the enemy. Jesus has come to establishes the Kingdom of God in us.
-
So if today you are here, you are not a citizen of this kingdom,
-
but you want to be part of this kingdom. You don't need to
-
pay money to be part of this kingdom. You don't need to apply for
-
visa to be part of this kingdom. You just need to believe in Christ
-
Jesus, and you just need to confess him as low. If you are
-
here, you are that person you want to give your life to Jesus.
-
Please come to me in the front. Wherever you are, just take a
-
bold step and walk to me in the front. You want to be a
-
member of the Kingdom of God. You want to be a partaker of the
-
Kingdom of God. You want God to have expression in you. Find expression
-
in you as a child of God. You are here, you are not
-
a child of God. Final call. Please come wherever you are or you
-
are here. You are born again, but you don't look like Jesus because
-
you insist on your own. Will you want to rededicate your life to the
-
Lord Jesus. This is an opportunity to come and to rededicate your life to
-
the Lord. Please come quickly wherever you are. Final call. Please come
-
quickly wherever you are in Jesus. Father, we thank you for your word
-
that has come. We thank you for light and understanding that brought to us.
-
We pray the name of Jesus. As the seeds fell on good ground
-
and brought forth fruits. Let your word or God be fruitful to us in
-
Jesus' mighty A Amen.
