-
Amen, Amen, Oh you borrowed your mouth this morning. Amen,
-
amazing. Shall we give God praise for the life of our pastor revend Roun.
-
I refuse to mention the sat name. I refuse, And let's give
-
God praise for the life of our pastor. Pastor the Aggreshop Nicholas, Uncle
-
Williams, he's the real pastor, I say, amen. Please take your
-
seats. You're looking good this morning, all right, and you're welcome to
-
church. We are continuing a series on the Kingdom of God, all right,
-
and last week we started discussing things that will help us to understand the
-
Kingdom of God. Now you have to know this, and it's very important
-
that in the Kingdom of God, they are important things and there are more
-
important things. There is nothing unimportant in the Kingdom. There's nothing that is
-
unimportant, but there are things that are more important than others. Right,
-
and just has mentioned some of them in Marthy chapter twenty three, in verse
-
twenty three, just as what's talking about a whole lot of issues, And
-
he pointed out in the twenty three of Marthe twenty three he said, war
-
ont u scribes and pharisees, because you please use King James all the time.
-
Okay, unless I say changes, then you change it King James standard.
-
He says, war onto your scribes and pharasies because you pay tithe on
-
little things like mint and earnest and cumin, and you ignore weightier matters.
-
You know, so there are things that are weightier, and there are things
-
that are weightier. We know where its comparative and what what if you have
-
a wed, you have an adverb and you have a comparative form of that.
-
Abbeb will be the next one. Hey, what schools have you been
-
attending in the place? Superlative or it depends on the school you're attended.
-
That will also determine how you pronounce it. You can say superlative, you
-
can also say superlative. Same thing is this, Michelle Obarbara? This is
-
Michelle right, Michelle obarbera, Michel all right? Why they're not happy?
-
This morning. Mhm right, So the advert is weighty. What's an adverb?
-
Let's not go there, but I will be a and the advert is
-
weighty. What would be the comparative form? What will be the comparative form
-
of weighty? Amazing? Comparative weighty? Okay, we just said the adverbs,
-
comparative forms of adverbs, and apality forms of what's her name? Mommy?
-
Mommy? You may not like me much when you see them preaching.
-
You may not come to change because this is how I'll be doing. What
-
is the comparative form of weighty? Yes? Waited? The comparative form what's
-
your name? What's your name, Cynthia? You should have started at the
-
back, because that's you're starting the front. You look at you and now
-
I'm asking you questions. Was a comparative form of weighty You're forgotten? Yes,
-
comparative Wait, what's your name? Benjamin's a competitive form of weighty?
-
Ah? Daniella was a competive form of waiting. Waight, tier, Oh,
-
I think it's on a bottle? Wait tier, wait tier. This
-
has said these are the weightier matters of the law, meaning you have something
-
big, something has to be bigger. And then we have the biggest,
-
isn't it. That's what we mean by words and competitive and superlative weight tier.
-
And this has said there are things that are important, such as tithe.
-
Tithing is important, but it'sactly things that are more important than tithing.
-
And look at them. Judgment, messy and faith. They are more important.
-
They are. I mean, these are things that are very serious.
-
And in first Coming after thirteen, verstating the Bible says whenever everything is finished,
-
when everything is done, there are three things that we mean. Look
-
when you're reading the Bible and pay attention to some of these things, because
-
it would define your whole life. It would define your Christian life. Because
-
one of the errors in Christianity is we like to minor on major things,
-
and we like to major on minor things, things that are not important.
-
We blow it up someone and talk about this someone and things that are not
-
important. Hey, I mean, that's are preaching a video. Things that
-
are important. We mentioned it once or twice and we escape. It's an
-
error. Three things that we mean Marthy chapter and first Coincience after thirteen and
-
restecting there is faith, hope, and love. See now, these are
-
the three things that we mean faith, hope, and love, these three.
-
But the greatest of this, the Bible says, is love. You
-
may not hear the message of love preached a lot. And when we say
-
love, your mind goes straight. It's too relationships laugh always a laugh.
-
Than your mind has flown away to relationships. But that's not all, it
-
says, A part of it right, And the Bible says that is the
-
greatest of everything. Everything will pass away, everything will go away except laugh.
-
So there are things that are more important in Christianity. The single most
-
important thing that encapsulates all these things is what we are studying, the Kingdom
-
of God. In fact, when you studied the Bible, the Bible says
-
that was the main message of Jesus. I had a certain preachers say sometime
-
ago that Jesus preached more on money than he preached on anything else. It
-
is one of the most false statements I've heard in my life. And I
-
don't even know where people get some of these things from. I don't even
-
I don't know what Bible they're reading. Really, Jesus pread more money than
-
anything else. Hey, I must be reading some other book. Jesus did
-
not preach mom The single most prevalent message of Jesus's career. What's this called
-
the Kingdom of God. Matthew chapter four and the seventeen. From that time
-
Jesus started preaching what was his message, repent for the Kingdom of Heaven is
-
at and that was the verse twenty three says. So he went from place
-
to place, from synagogue to synagogue, and he was preaching everything about the
-
Gospel of the Kingdom. That is what Jesus was preaching. All this is
-
the only thing he preached. Everything Jesus did was about the Kingdom, the
-
Kingdom, the Kingdom, the Kingdom. So if there's anything you need to
-
know. In fact, in Matthew chapter twenty four, we talked about the
-
end time. One of the key markers of the end time. Jesus said,
-
you hear of rumors of war. You hear of wars you have eight.
-
You hear of a nation wising up against nation. And he said that
-
one thing that will happen right before Jus comes is that he says the Gospel
-
of the Kingdom will be preached everywhere. The Gospel of the Kingdom is very
-
particular, and if you think it is not particular, you should read your
-
Bible again, because there's something called the Gospel of Peace. It's not the
-
same as the Gospel of the Kingdom. It is part of it. It
-
is a subset of the Gospel of the Kingdom, but it is more specified.
-
It's just like saying biology, and then in the biology saying biooartist biology.
-
What's is biology? The study of what? What life started? Bios
-
it means life and logic logy I means study. Okay, Daniella. What
-
is psychology? The study of psychology? Psycho? Yes, the study of
-
the mind. I want to give you one more. But why is the
-
guy who normally sits assigned student two, normally with the glasses? Why is
-
seen here today? Okay, no problem. So it's the same biology,
-
right, biology the study of life. Everything life is biology. You can
-
include in biology. But inside biology you can zoom in on one aspect and
-
say you're studying plants life. What would that be If you're studying just plants
-
life, what would that be called? Huh? Botany? What's your name,
-
Selena, God bless you? Botany? How about animal life? Animal
-
life is what zoology? Chilte people? Yeah, see you we are not
-
joking in the church at all listen. You can be in action chapel and
-
not be in love with learning. We must move and go to another church.
-
Over here we learn, we learn a lot, and we learn about
-
everything right. The Gospel of the Kingdom, the Gospel of Peace, the
-
Gospel of the preparation of people, all of these things as are part of
-
the Gospel of the Kingdom of God. And this was Jesus's message, the
-
Gospel of the Kingdom. Now, the Gospel of the Kingdom became necesship because
-
something called religion had entered. When Jesus came, he started preaching about the
-
Gospel because religion had entered. Religion was not before, was not there before.
-
Religion was necessitated by sin because human being sinned. We had to now
-
invent religion so that we can try to connect to God. And so far,
-
there are many religions. There's so many religions. There's Islam, there
-
Sikhism, there's Judaism, there's Buddhism, there's Taoism, there's there are so
-
many religions, and religions come. One of the main aspects, or one
-
of the main characteristics of a religion is that he has a lot of rules,
-
rules, rules, rules, laws plenty. That is what a religion
-
is marked by a kingdom. On the other hand, it's not like a
-
religion. A kingdom talks about governments. It talks about a way of life.
-
A kingdom talks about a way of life. And last week in the
-
second service us asking some of you how many kingdoms you know about, and
-
when we preach about the Kingdom the Gospel of the Kingdom. If you're not
-
somebody who is familiar with the way a kingdom runs, you may not really
-
understand, or you may have a hard time understanding. A kingdom is not
-
like a democracy. See what we have here in Ghana is a democracy.
-
So when I say the Gospel of the Kingdom, if you are living in
-
a place like Bhutan, or Saudi Arabia or Lechstein, letstein Is, it's
-
a monarchy. It's a pure monarchy. Bhutan is an absolute monarchy. Saudi
-
Arabia is the most totalitarian country in the world. It's an absolute monarchy.
-
They don't have parliament, they don't have any of the things that republics have.
-
It's a total monarchy. What the king says is what stands finish and
-
of story. Another total monarchy, the only African totalitarian monarchy is Swartini.
-
Have you heard of Swartini or Switzerland? There used to because God Swatini.
-
There's a man there, God king in Swati, the tad he's a king.
-
Whatever he says, it's what stands. If he wakes up today and
-
says, no more court in the country olive banko, that is it is
-
finished. No more if you find if you find you drinking, court is
-
you are going to jail. That is what having to read the Bible and
-
seeing that's in terms of kings like Nebo, Cardneza and Darius, they made
-
very strange laws. When the king wake up one day and say I've made
-
the gods start to everybody should or else you're going to die. That's it.
-
There's no we are not voting on it. The king said, it
-
is happening. The King said, nobody's friend to any other person except me.
-
I'm the only one who can pay to I catch you print to another
-
person who are into the lion's day. That's how Daniel in the day.
-
It was because the king had said something. The king had signed a degree
-
that proclaimed that no more prayer to anybody for the next twenty one days accept
-
him. So when you understand the way a kingdom will prates, it will
-
bring you closer to understanding the gospel of the kingdom. All right, what
-
you need to understand again is that God is a king. God was the
-
first king. He's the first king. He's called the King of Glory and
-
the King of kings. He was the first king. And what happens in
-
the kingdom is what happens in the Kingdom of God. God is a king.
-
His word in the kingdom is what stands. Now. You need to
-
understand these things before we start talking about the general issues and the powables,
-
because if you don't understand these things, you'll be confused in the middle.
-
Right, there's something called kingdom concept. Writes this down kingdom concept. Kingdom
-
comes kingdom concept. When we say kingdom concept, what we're trying to say
-
is what makes a kingdom a kingdom? What's the concept of the kingdom?
-
Now? There are different types of government, right, There are different types
-
of rulerships. One of the ancient types of rulership is something called feudalism f
-
e U D A, L I S M. Feudalism. Okay, feudalism.
-
That's the type of government where whoever owns more land was powerful. Okay,
-
So when you have a lot of land, When you own a lot
-
of land, you own the land. You own the things on the land
-
too. That is a type of government feudalism. All right, have you
-
been able to spell it? Feu d A l I s M feu d
-
a l I s M feudalism. Let me pause here and say something to
-
you. Now, when you listen to a message, okay, when you
-
listen to it once, twice, three times, it sticks, but you
-
don't retain more. You don't retain a lot. In fact, there's something
-
called pyramid of learning. If you go, we can go and google,
-
it's pyramid of learning. When you listen to me talking to you like this
-
like a lecture, their retention how much you're able to remember is five percent
-
of everything I'm saying. Okay, these are passive ways of teaching. When
-
you when you write, when you listen and you write, you are able
-
to retain sixty eight percent. Do you see the difference? You just listen?
-
How many five percent? When you listen and you write, how much
-
do you retain sixty eight percent? It's a very big difference. And if
-
you are able to put it into practice, do something about it, experiment
-
with it, it increases shoots up to eighty percent. Eight is between eighty
-
to ninety percent. When you practicalize it, you know you do something with
-
it. And when you listen and listen and listen, you listen more than
-
seven times. This is the reason is should listen to podcast. You listen
-
to the same message over and over and over seven times and above you are
-
able to retain ninety percent. This is also the reason you should the announcements
-
we make listen to podcast. It's not for funal it's because of these things.
-
Because you can come to church are and not be changed. You can
-
come to church ah and nothing will happen to you. Your life will not
-
show anything. And in the end you'll be frustrated because you say that thing
-
doesn't work. I mean, why you don't even remember what you are told?
-
And the reason you don't remember is that and I'm on you. The
-
reason you don't remember is that you don't write anything. You don't write.
-
So whether you are listening to a message at church, or you're listening to
-
a message at home while you're in class, as teaching always right. Okay,
-
okay, all right, back to the message of the kingdom. Second
-
type of the government. Second type of government is called dictatorship. You've heard
-
of this one, right, dictatorship. Dictatorship is when it is inspired actually
-
by divine authority. There are some people who believe that they've been born to
-
rule, so they rule and they never get down here, they never stop,
-
and they stop everyone else from ruling. That's dictatorship. Okay, when
-
you are a dictator, you go on and no, no, no,
-
no, no no, you don't want to stop and dictatorship. Monarchy is
-
a type of dictatorship. You just rude for life. You're in power till
-
you die. That's dictatorship. You determine everything, you control everything. A
-
dictator can be elected. A dictator can also be by birth, right,
-
so kings by birth. Some kings are elected certain countries the kings are elected.
-
Right. Then. A third type of government that you should know is
-
a democracy. What is the democracy? They said, it's government of the
-
people, by the people, and for the people. We live in a
-
democracy. We know it is not true, but okay, you just write
-
it democracy. One of the key markets of a democracy is that the leader
-
is voted into power, and everything is done by concerns us. Everybody has
-
to agree to what we are doing. The danger of democracy is that if
-
the majority agree on something bad or something wrong, it stands. So for
-
instance, in America, it's because the democracy they have all agreed that if
-
a man minus another man is okay, so it's a laws. It's past.
-
That's the foolishness of democracy. All of us can can agree today that
-
all women must be relegated to the background, and because majority have the say,
-
it will become a law. Why that's a democracy. Then there's something
-
called communism. You don't need this. One's communism, socialism, you don't
-
need this one's right. I think it's are the basic ones that I need.
-
Communism is like a combination of feudalism and detatorship, but without God.
-
The one of the main markers of communism is that they remove God from the
-
equation. If you've heard of US or China currently, it's a communist state.
-
China and Korea. North Korea is also a communist state. They do
-
everything like a dictatorship, and they strongly against God. They don't like anything
-
about God. They're against religion, right now. My point is this,
-
the Gospel of the Kingdom is a totalitarian gospel. Over here in the Kingdom
-
of God, God is a king. What that means is that His word
-
is law, His word is the rule. His word is what we go
-
by. This is what Jesus came to tell us. Let me take you
-
again back to the beginning when God made us. God made us in his
-
image and his likeness. Joan us, do you remember God made us in
-
his image and his likeness. And God made us again. I've heard this
-
a lot. God made us to worship. God made us too, It's
-
not true. Read the Bible well. The reason, the one and only
-
reason God created us was to rule. Finish. The Bible says God did
-
not sign ren onto the earth because there was no man to manage the e,
-
and so he made man. The creation of man was necessitated by the
-
need for rulership, leadership, and management. That's why God made man.
-
And when God made man, God made man to be like himself the way
-
he was. Is why he wanted a man to be. Why because he's
-
a king. So God made Adam and if to be. People were taken
-
in care of the heath, and God made man in his image and his
-
likeness. When we say the image, when we say God's image, what
-
we mean is his nature, his character, his morality. So we are
-
made to have the nature of God, the character of God, and the
-
morality of God. We are like him. And the likeness of God means
-
his functionality, how he functions. We are made to function like God.
-
If you are not functioning like God, we are malfunctioning. How does God
-
function? God functions in two ways. God functions by love and by faith.
-
Okay, that's how God functions. God functions by love. God functions
-
by love. That's who he is. Love is his very nature. So
-
if you don't have love first joint Chapter four evers eight him or does he
-
say? First? Eight beloved, let us love, for laugh is of
-
God. He who does not love does no God. He who loves knows
-
God. Because God is love four and eight eight eight for invests for invest
-
eight. Yes, because God is love. God is God. Doesn't have
-
love. God doesn't show love. He is love. That's what he's made
-
of. In fact, if you don't have love, your faith is weathless.
-
It will not wake. Your faith only works by love. Have you
-
heard that before Galatians after five and six. Therefore, in Christ, nothing
-
prevalid nor nothing matters, whether it's a concesition or as a composition, but
-
faith which works by love, Faith which works by love. Galicianus after five
-
and six. For in Jesus Christ not as a consition of valid anything,
-
nor as a consition, but faith which works by love. If you don't
-
have love, your faith will not even work properly, do not work.
-
So if you are here and you are someone who wishing to hate chad,
-
you don't like people, you don't like smiling, you don't have the characteristics
-
of love, you are malfunctioning because you're supposed to function like God. And
-
God functions by love. That's who he is. Then God also functions by
-
faith. God fancts is by faith. How do we see faith is by
-
talking? God talks a lot. So you see in Genesis one, God
-
was talking the whole time. In Creation God was talking Romans upter four and
-
there's seventeen. It says God, which picked those things which be not as
-
though the way. That's how he is, God who kay kids the death
-
and colored those things which be not as though the way. God functions by
-
speech, by faith. He talks. He says a lot of things.
-
So if you're Christian and you are not talking, you're mauthfunctioning. Again,
-
you are mauthfunctioning. You don't talk, you don't say anything. The Bible
-
said, God said, God said Genesis aapter one, the Christian story Genesis
-
after one invent three, and God said Genesis one six. God said Genesis
-
vers nine. God said, verse eleven. God said verse fourteen. God
-
said, there's twenty. God said, there's twenty four. God said,
-
there's twenty six. God said there's sweaty nine. God said again again,
-
but you don't say anything. You don't say anything. When we come to
-
church, we say say amen, you sit down. You don't say anything.
-
Let's sing, let's raise your hands. You don't open your mind.
-
You know what you are doing is you will get nothing because the world was
-
created by the word of God. Your words creates your own world. I
-
grad you understand when you don't talk, you're sitting on pull us. After
-
eighteen, invest twenty one. Death and life are in the power of the
-
tongue. Or after three and thest tend let the weak say, you see
-
look at it, look at daughter. After investing the Bible says, even
-
when you're a weak, don't say it. Turn your plowshares into sorts,
-
and you're pulling hooks into spears. Even though you're weak, don't say it.
-
Say I am strong. Raise your right hand, say I'm strong.
-
Look at look at what you're doing. Now, I'm strong. What kind
-
of fam is this? I've not eating? I am strong, I am
-
strong, I am strong, and I am strong. Amen. You should
-
be talking all the time. You should be talking all the time time,
-
all the time. Someone was saving Inverst. Two. Let the redeem of
-
the Lord say so. Let them say it. Don't say it to you,
-
Josh chapter one, say the Buddists become the loss and already part out
-
of your mouth. Keep saying it, keep saying it. You have to
-
keep saying it. So this is how God functions. Right. If you
-
don't function like this, you are malfunctioning. This is what Jesus came to
-
restore when we said the Gospel of the Kingdom. This is it, though,
-
this is it. That you are made in the image and the likeness
-
of God, and you're supposed to be functioning like him, sing put us
-
far away. And when Jesus came He didn't exactly put it like this.
-
He put it in parables. He came in, he told stories. He
-
came in, he was telling stories. He wanted to say things that we
-
can relate to so that we can get the thing that he's trying to say.
-
Let's look at one or two of these parables and then we call it
-
a day. Or do you think Matthew chapter thirteen and Matthew chapter thirteen when
-
you go read the whole chapter? Okay? Because the problems they are,
-
it's full of probles. Let's start reading from which of the probles do you
-
think? Which you look at? Which proble did we look at last week?
-
The problem of the souler? Okay, so then we can look at
-
that. Now, let's look at the next puble, the problem of the
-
Witch and taste the seven. Go to the seventh please seventeen. Are you
-
know you're going home? Okay? Market chapter thirteen. Let's star from the
-
twenty four. Another proble puts it forth on to them, saying, the
-
kingdom of heaven. So what is he talking about the kingdom? And he's
-
trying to help you understand what the kingdom of heaven is like? What the
-
Kingdom of God is like and in said the kingdom of Heaven is like a
-
man that sold good seed in the field. That's twenty five. But one
-
man slept, Huh, his enemy? Whose enemy? The man who sold
-
the good seed? His enemy came and sold tears among the wheat and went
-
his way. That's twenty six. But when the blade was sprung up,
-
the blade over here is the correct seed. Okay, when it sprung up
-
and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tears. Also, how many know
-
this? Probable? You've had this problem before? Have you bothered to find
-
out what tears look like? A tear, what a tail looks like?
-
You can't move forward behaving like this. When you see things, you have
-
to look them up. Okay, when you when you put wheat on the
-
left and you put a tear on the right, you can't You can't see
-
much difference. It looks very similar. So the first one is that they
-
could they could recognize that, no, this is no wit, this is
-
something else. Anyway, the twenty seven, So the servants of the householder
-
came and said on him, said, did you not so good? Seat
-
in the field? From where did the test come? Eight? Then he
-
said onto them, and enemy has done this, the seventh said onto him,
-
will you then that we go and gather them up twenty nine? But
-
he said, no, let's while you gather up the test, you root
-
up also the witch with them a stety. Let's both grow together until the
-
harvest. And in the time of harvest, I will say to the ripest,
-
gather you together. First the tests, bind them in bandles to bend
-
them, but gather the wit into my band Did you understand anything we just
-
read? Did you understand the problem? Okay? So just as we're saying
-
that a guy went to sew okay, a guy, a man went to
-
sea, and when he went to saw, he saw good seed. And
-
after he saw the good city, he went away. And in the night,
-
when they were sleeping, another person came who was identified to be the
-
man who saw the good city his enemy, and he came to saw his
-
own seed. And those seeds were tests, and these wits were growing with
-
the whitt. When his servants came to check on the wits, they saw
-
that, ah, the weight is going, but also something else is growing
-
that they didn't plant. So they went back to the master and said,
-
Master, we went to check on the whit today and we see that the
-
thing is going, but something else is also growing. And the master quickly
-
said this is the work of the enemy. And so they said, so
-
what should we do do? Should we go back and remove them? He
-
said, no, no, no, no, leave it alone, because
-
in your attempts to pull up the wits, you may end up pulling up
-
some of the whitt the correct one as also leave it alone, and later
-
on, when the thing is mature, pull all of them up. Now
-
you can pull it up, but as you are harvesting sorted so that there
-
will be a difference between a wit and a test. And when you find
-
a test bandle it up and burn it. And that's what the wit gather
-
and put it in my in storehouse capish. Everything is clay now moved to
-
Vest thirty six because I won't rack my brain and explain it. This has
-
explained it for us. Okay, use Enalty because the lack of investory of
-
Cacus is affecting the reading. You don't understand. You must buy ucc forms
-
and attend the best goal in the world. You see see Hugh Enalty.
-
Then leaving the crowds outside. This is what you are like new leg and
-
translation, look at it, you like this one very soft English. Jesus
-
went into the house because this, sciples said. So he left the crowds
-
outside right and he entered the house and his disciples said, can you please
-
explain to us the story of the test that you just said. Jesus was
-
very fond of using stories, and one day his disciples even asked him why
-
do you keep saying stories? Why are you why don't you just say that
-
thing? Do you have to go through this route? And Jesus said yes,
-
because these people there, the pharacists, are parted and the thing they
-
know, so if they know, they should recorded. But whenever he came
-
into privacy with his disciples, he will break it down for them and tell
-
them what it actually is. And this was one of the instances. The
-
first time he did it was with the powble of the Soua. You remember,
-
after he said the problem of the disciples came to him. Latime he
-
explained it to them. This one you explained seven, Jesus replied, the
-
son of man, he himself, Jesus is the farmer who and good seeds
-
who from last week, who remembers what the seed. Is was the seed
-
we lent it last week? Yes, the word of God. The city
-
is the word you see even I think from next week whenever it is,
-
I need to come and align money here. And this questions you answer,
-
you pick one, you answer, you pick one. Okay, I'm going
-
to start now, I'm going to start now. Each answered question is stan
-
cities. Each answered question is stan cities. So you can now start calculating
-
your money, start counting your money, the money that you're going home with.
-
And also not noticed that now the questions are going to be more difficult.
-
And I also not ask play two questions since we now I've seen that
-
you like money. What is the seed the word of God? Right?
-
And Jesus said, he is the one who came to plant, and he
-
has come to plant the word of God. That's thirty eight. The field
-
that's the seeds were planted on is the world, and the good seed represents
-
you, the people of the kingdom. So Jesus is opening our eyes to
-
one of the things that happens in this world as we have because it is
-
the field is the world. As you are on this world, in this
-
world, and you have decided to follow Jesus, you are the good seed
-
that is in the world. The good seed is you. You are the
-
good seed. You are the ones with the word of God. You are
-
the ones with the seed of the Word in you. The Word of God
-
give death to you. What scripture okay, what scripture says this thing that
-
I just said. There's a scripture in the Bible that says ten cities.
-
There's a scripture in the Bible that says you were born by the Word of
-
God. Find it in ten seconds and come for it over here. The
-
internet doesn't work, so I mean you want to google It is awkward.
-
Ten seconds. There's a scripture that says you were born by the Word of
-
God. Yes, ten, nine, eight seven, as you come down
-
six huh five? Yes, rise up, Rise up, Say it's what's
-
his day? What's this that you can't just tell us? And run away?
-
First? Whats I wanting today? Ah? How come you guys say
-
it? What's your name? What's your name? You don't know your name?
-
Esther? What's the lasting? Whoa? I owe you ten cities?
-
Okay? After church, come and see me for a ten city? So
-
yes. First Fitter one twenty three says for you have been born again.
-
He not to a life. Now quickly, what is all this lego on?
-
Can you take me to King James fly beg you you have been born
-
again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible You have been born by
-
the Word of God. That's why I said you are born by the way.
-
Okay, so scripture, I didn't say it from my head. You
-
are born by the word. The word give bath to you. You are
-
you originate from the wet you can you help from the word of God?
-
And the word of God is God? Isn't it? What scriptized that this
-
one is very easy? John one one? Isn't it? No? You
-
thought I was going to give you ten cities for John one? Let's be
-
serious. John one one in the beginning was aware the world was God and
-
the Word was God. Right, and the Bible soul says, because we
-
are born by the Word of God, we come from God, we hail
-
from God. We are of God. What scripturized that foscriptize that we are
-
of God? Ten nine, eight, seven, six, five, four
-
three two one first joint after four invest four first John four, verse four
-
we are of God. Little children. Huh, you have overcome them because
-
greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world.
-
You hail from God. So this has said the good seed, you are
-
the good seat. You are the wits. You are the one that was
-
planted. It is you, You are the one that was planted. And
-
what about the bad seat? Yes, go back to Matthew thirteen. Back
-
to Matthew thirteen where we were before, Yes, verse thirty eight, Nalty,
-
switch to Nalty. Yes, the goods represents you and the weeds are
-
the people who belong to the evil One. There are people who belong to
-
the evil one. Have you seen it before? Have you read it before?
-
Fanny? Do you know that there are people who belong to the devil?
-
Yeah, they belong to Himure, they are people who are children of
-
the devil. Ah, should we ask where the al I remember when you
-
are on ten cities. Now that is Nowaday Champion, give me the scripture
-
that says they are children of the devil around in the world. Ten seconds,
-
there's a scripture that says there are children of the devil. If you
-
know it's don't project it to because people who just swoop ten nine, eight,
-
seven six children of the devil five four, three, two one,
-
no problem ten minutes. In the metromograh joins after age and rest forty four.
-
You are of your father, the devil. Yes, join a forty
-
four. Look at it. You are the children of your father, the
-
devil. There are people who are children of the devil. Listen, you
-
can you cannot exist and not be a person of the web. Who die
-
in too this you have to you have to be a man of the web,
-
a woman of the web. That's how you win. Okay, you
-
are the children of your father, the devil, and you love to do
-
the evil things he does. He was a matter from the beginning. He
-
always hated the truth because there's no truth in him. When he lies.
-
It is consistent with this character because he is a liar and the father of
-
all lies. So the main thing that the devil does is to lie.
-
That's what this has called him a liar. This has himself is called the
-
truth, and the devil is a liar and the father of lies. So
-
the rest thirty aide of Matthew thirteen says the tests the wits are children of
-
the devil. So as you sit here, don't make the mistake of thinking
-
that all of us. Here are children of God. You know who you
-
belong to. You know who you belong to. Everybody knows who I belong
-
to God, I know it. You should determine who you belong to.
-
And the Bible says that the tests and the wits were growing together. There
-
are people position in and around your life that are their purposely to make sure
-
that you are stifled. He said, the Kingdom of God is like that.
-
There are people. The field is the world. We are all in
-
the world. And as we are people of the lights and people of truth,
-
they also people of darkness. That's the Kingdom of God is these thirty
-
nine. He's at the harvest. The enemy who planted the wits is the
-
devil. The enemy has planted people in and around your life that do not
-
want you to save God the way you have to. There are people in
-
and around your life that always call you for only useless things. But they
-
only call you about chins. They only call you about letters. Letters,
-
that's all they call you are about. There are some people that even when
-
you want to first properly, you want to pay properly, the immediately comes
-
to your mind that no, this week I shouldn't been talking to this person
-
because I'm fasting. Why do you draw the conclusion because you hell yourself.
-
You've noticed that this person when they care you normally, all they talk about
-
is foolishness. All they talk about is the girl, some girl being the
-
class I'm boy in the school. That's all they talk about. And you
-
will have to be hard and make sure that you mark these people out.
-
What is the scripture that says, mark them and avoid them. There's a
-
scripture that says the people who preach contrary things what I've taught to you,
-
mark them and avoid them. I'll give you a cluse in romance, Yes,
-
three tests, cities five. Oh, come on now, huh that
-
is that hand up? Yes, yes, Romans sixteen seventeen years read it.
-
Mm hmm yes. Mark them which caused divisions and offenses contrary to the
-
doctrine which I've learned, and avoid them. Don't go close to them,
-
avoid them, mark them, mark them, and leave them alone. Because
-
some of these people are tests. They will not help you. M hm.
-
Back to thirty nine, please, Matthew Tetan thirty nine, thirty nine,
-
thirty nine. Yes, the harvest is the end of the world and
-
the harvests are the angels. This particulars lets us know that the Kingdom of
-
God and the Kingdom of Heaven cannot be preached without talking about the end time.
-
The Kingdom of God and the end Time are married. You can't talk
-
about the Kingdom of God without talking about the end time, because the end
-
of this world is coming. Jesus's government has come, but it has only
-
come for those who have accepted it. But a time is coming that,
-
whether you like it or not, you will have to live under the relaship
-
of Jesus. But because Jesus is a God of love, and you will
-
not force anybody to be under his relationship. You will only take those who
-
want to be in his relaship and his relationship, and the rest who are
-
not interested to go and bend somewhere. This is one of the harshest messages
-
of the Bible. In fact, a whole denomination was built because they didn't
-
like this part. They didn't like this part of hell. You've heard of
-
them. They're called joverst Witnesses. The guy who started the church is called
-
Russell. Russell said he cannot imagine a god who laughs us so much and
-
yet will send people to go and bending hell. Because of that, it
-
is a false message. In fact, the whole nomination he started started something
-
called the watch Tower. The watch Tower is evolved to become the Jover's witnesses,
-
and one of their main believes is that there's no hell. There's nothing
-
like hell. When you die, you are dead. Finished, end of
-
story. There's no hell. Let's not complicates the issues. Let's not try
-
and intimidate ourselves. There's no hell, there's hello, there is hell.
-
Look at Jesus said, those who are the testinal, they will buying them
-
up and they'll be bands by fire bands. And Jesus himself spoke a power.
-
But you remember the lass and a rich man. He said that a
-
rich man was sent to hell. You are not whiter than Jesus. And
-
you haven't even been in a where before. How do you know where heaven
-
is and where hell is? Jesus has been that he's telling there's hell.
-
So Marthew for seventeen said, when Jesus came, he didn't just say the
-
Kingdom of God is at hand. He began with repent. He said,
-
repent, repent, because the Kingdom of God is at hand. Yes,
-
let's finish it. He said, the harvests are the angels first forty Jesus,
-
just as the wits are sorted out and burned in fire. So it
-
will be at the end of the world. Did you see that it will
-
be that those who are of the kingdom will be put aside, and those
-
who are of the devil will put aside. Because the kind of kingdom that
-
God is going to establish after Jesus has come, it's a kingdom that does
-
not involve sin. Anything that provokes sin is going to be in a fire.
-
Anything that practices sin is going to be in a fire. This is
-
why we keep telling you you have to be aligned to the Kingdom of God.
-
You have to eschew evil and embrace righteousness. Why because one day the
-
king will come. One day the king will come. One day, the
-
King will come again. The earth didn't used to be. It wasn't like
-
this before. It wasn't like this before. The heath used to be a
-
place that was full of the glory of God. Sin made it like this.
-
Death wasn't part of it. Sin wasn't part of it. Something wasn't
-
part of it. Pain wasn't part of it. So the Bible says that
-
when Jesus comes again, they will take us with heaven and there will be
-
no more sorrow. There will be no more pain, there will be no
-
more tears, there will be no more cares. Why because the Kingdom of
-
God would have been fully manifested. Be on your feet now, set your
-
heart, and don't take this message likely. Don't take this message likely.
-
A lot of people have joked with it and are regretting now. They're regretting.
-
They're regretting so much now because they had they had a chance, they
-
had the gospel of the Kingdom, and they pushed it aside. The Kingdom
-
of God is not all doom and groomed like the way you're hearing it.
-
The Kingdom of God is very powerful. The Kingdom of God has benefits.
-
The Kingdom of God has privileges. In a second time exacts what I've been
-
talking about, the privileges of the Kingdom of God, because that's what I
-
started with last week. The privileges, the privileges of the Kingdom of God
-
are a lot. That's why Jesus said, seek first the Kingdom of God
-
and his righteousness and all other things, what other things that comforts and allergies
-
of life. They will be added to their additions. They are just additions.
-
Now set your hearts, close your eyes and set your hearts, and
-
ask yourself, am I ready for the Kingdom? Am I ready for
