  9. Even if you go to Dubai, you won't get that kind of blessing.

  17. in church when you come to where the children of God are gathered, simply

  18. because the presence of God is here. Can I hear an? Amen?

  19. And can we celebrate the Lord Jesus for being in our presence this morning?

  20. Amen? Amen? Is there anyone here worshiping with us for the very first

  21. time? If today is the first time you're worshiping with us, would like

  22. to acknowledge you. Amen. There's some people when I see them one and

  23. I see them again three months later, they're running shifting cultivation like some people

  24. I'm seeing over here. Where have you guys been hiding? You want to

  25. be by? Where did you go? You didn't go anywhere? You're not

  27. hallelujah, And so congratulations to all of you were able to give us

  28. the recap of the reading assignments that I gave to you. Amen. It's

  29. very important that you take the reagion assignments seriously because that is the only way

  30. you will sit down and read the Bible. Outside of that, you won't

  31. read the Bible for yourself. Amen. So please, when we give you

  32. a reading assignment, pay attention to it, learn something from it. Amen.

  33. Like I said last week, God wants to have a relationship with all

  34. of you on an individual level. But how you can develop that relationship is

  35. when you spend time with God through your quiet time. Amen. And so

  36. shout out to all those who don't have the acquiet time, they're not going

  37. to have a relationship with God. Amen. But those who have their quiet

  38. time be assured that if you are consistently having your quiet time, not very

  39. long from now, you begin to hear the voice of God. Someone came

  40. to tell me last week that when she's there, she hears her name,

  41. she hears someone calling her name, and she's going to ask her mother.

  42. Oh, either one calling me, And she said, no, nobody is.

  43. And I said to her, God is getting your attention. Because if

  44. you've done your quiet time, and you know how God spoke to Samuel,

  45. it was a similar way God drew Samuel out. Amen. And so as

  46. you keep having your quiet time, God will begin to talk to you,

  47. Amen, and you begin to hear the voice of God. You begin to

  48. know the voice of God. Amen. So thank you all for those who

  49. did the reading assignment. Amen. And from Acts chapter one to Act chapter

  50. three, the general of the assignment I gave is on fruitfulness because after you

  51. had received, after they had received the Holy Spirit, the outcome of the

  52. power they received was that they became witnesses of the Lord Jesus Christ. And

  53. the effect of that was that their church multiplied and became they became a multitude.

  54. So there was fruitfulness on every side. Amen. And so today I

  55. want to speak to you about fruitfulness. All right, and tell your neighbor

  56. God requires you to be fruitful. Amen. Please tell your other neighbor God

  57. requires you to be fruitful. Amen. Let's look at our foundation scripture from

  58. Genesis, chapter one, verse twenty eight. Genesis, chapter one, verse

  59. twenty eight. Helps department are looking dashing at the back in their all black

  60. with the aligning yards. They are looking like diplomats at the UN conference.

  61. Wow. Amen, such a blessing. And the Bible says that, and

  62. God blessed them and said to them, be fruitful and multiply fill the earth

  63. and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and

  64. over the birds of the heavens, and over every living thing that moves on

  65. the earth. And so God blessed Adam and Eve. And the effect of

  66. the blessing was that be fruitful and multiply. Please tell your neighbor be fruitful

  67. and multiply. Amen, be fruitful and multiply. So in today's teaching,

  68. I want to share a few thoughts with you that will help you realign yourself

  69. to the fact that we are not islands of our own. Please ask your

  70. neighbor are you an island? What is an island? Geography students, Yes,

  71. a small mass of lance wounded by your water as small. Please,

  72. all those who haven't traveled before, did you understand what you're saying? She

  73. speaking American English, She's from America, she said, a small mass of

  74. land surrounded by water. So islands are secluded. They are by themselves,

  75. they are divided from the mainland. You understand. But because you are not

  76. an island, you belong in the Kingdom of God. We are in the

  77. Kingdom of God. We are part of a kingdom. Amen. And you

  78. are a citizen of that kingdom. And because you are a citizen of that

  79. kingdom, you are denied every right to be an island. Say amen,

  80. and so nobody should be an island by themselves, because you are in the

  81. Kingdom of God. Amen. And so in Matthew chapter thirteen, the Lord

  82. Jesus spoke about the Kingdom of God. He spoke many parables about the Kingdom

  83. of God. And your reading assignment for next week is Matthew gonna read the

  84. whole chapter. It talks about the Kingdom of God. Jesus spoke many parables

  85. about the Kingdom of God, all right, And from last week we dealt

  86. with this parable in the Gospel of Mark, because the same thing is in

  87. the Gospel of Mark, and the Bible says, that's saying. Day Jesus

  88. went out of the house and sat beside the sea. Next verse. Hey,

  89. these people, they've taken us foul, I said Matta chapter thirteen,

  90. verse one. We finished verse when we are going to verse two, and

  91. a great crowd of great crowds gathered about him, so that he got into

  92. a boat and sat down, and the whole crowd stood on the beach.

  93. Next verse, and he told them many things in parables. That many things

  94. he spoke to them about, primarily was about the Kingdom of God. And

  95. so he said to them a parable saying, as so I went out to

  96. soul. We spoke about this last week next verse and as he sowed.

  97. Some seats fell along the path. Some seats fell along the path, and

  98. the birds came and devoured them. Next verse, other seats fell on rocky

  99. ground where they did not have much soil, and immediately they sprung up since

  100. they had no depth in the soil. Next verse, but the sun rose

  101. and they were scotched, and since they had no roots, they withered away.

  102. So last week we dwelt on shallowness as a condition of your heart that

  103. God wants to deliver you from and make you deeply rooted. Amen. So

  104. you become a deep Christian who is deeply rooted in the things of God,

  105. who is not just shallow like the sea that fell on the rocky ground.

  106. Shallow Christians are pretenders. They are actors. If we take them to Hollywood,

  107. they will win Grammys because they can really act. They can pretend to

  108. be Christians when they come to church, but outside of the church, certain

  109. there is nothing to show that they are Christians. So this parable Jesus spoke

  110. about the Kingdom of God. He said, the Kingdom of God is like

  111. a soul who went about casting c And he spoke about the four conditions of

  112. our hearts. Amen. And so in the Kingdom of God. They are

  113. all these people in the Kingdom of God. But the preferred choice for you

  114. from God is that you become fruitful because He wants you to be a person

  115. or a Christian with a heart condition that receives the word of God. That

  116. the word of God as a seed benefits jo understand that the word of God

  117. takes roots in you in your heart and springs forth as a tree and bears

  118. fruit. So God wants you to be fruitful. Please tell your neighbor.

  119. God wants you to be fruitful. Please tell your neighbor again. God wants

  120. you to be fruitful a man. And so in the fruitfulness that God requires

  121. from us is in twofold. There's the vetical fruitfulness or the fruitfulness that has

  122. to do with your relationship with God, which is vertical. You see,

  123. when you look at the cross, the cross is not X, is a

  124. T with an extension upwards. So there is a vertical aspect of the cross,

  125. and there is a horizontal aspect of the cross. You understand, the

  126. fruitfulness God requires from you has to do with both your vetical relationship means your

  127. relationship with God and also your relationship with others. And so God expects you

  128. to be fruitful in dealing with Him. As a child of God, God

  129. expects you to be fruitful in living your Christian life. God expects you to

  130. be fruitful in all areas and in all aspects of your life. Because you

  131. are a representative of Him God on earth, and because God is fruitful,

  132. God expects you to be fruitful. Amen. And so let's look at someone

  133. best one to five. But before then, the requirements for developing a vertical

  134. relationship with God is that a man came to Jesus and asked him what is

  135. the greatest commandment? And Jesus said to him, thou shall love the Lord

  136. your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your

  137. mind, and with all your strength. So their requirements for developing a hundred

  138. percent fruitful relationship with God requires all of you. Amen. Please tell your

  139. neighbor God requires all of you, not just a percentage of you, Amen,

  140. But God requires all of you. That's why last week we dwe out

  141. on shallowness. People who are shallow or shallow Christians don't give their all to

  142. God, you understand. And so you have some who love God ten percent,

  143. Some love God five percent. Some love God three percent, Some love

  144. God one point five percent. Some love their phones more than God because on

  145. their phone they can see funny videos, they can see latest trends, they

  146. can watch movies, they can watch pornography, they can do all sorts of

  147. wild things, and so they love their phone. When they are sleeping cried,

  148. they are holding their phone like this, you put your phone here and

  149. to sleep. When they wake up, the first thing they die they look

  150. for is where's my phone? They look, where's my phone? I know

  151. somewhere. The peasants sleep the best holding the phone and sleeping. The phone

  152. is like this, always on, and the pasants and sleep the phone run.

  153. I'll be looking at the person. They love their phone more than God.

  154. Amen. But you see, to develop your vetical relationship, you need

  155. to put God first. You need to love God hundred percent. There are

  156. some of you here. If the light goes off for one week and there's

  157. no power in your house and your phone dies, it's like as though you

  158. have died too, this guy, because you love your phone, telling you

  159. love your phone. One day I was driving around their Crownall area, and

  160. then I think a pickpocket or a thief stole some girl's phone, and I

  161. was driving. I'd roll down and I heard the girl at the bus stop.

  162. She shouted, oh, my phone, my phone, like her world

  163. had come to an end. My God, because maybe, well, I'm

  164. sure the phone said, is no proper phone? Bia, probably some some

  165. song words yesterday nighty or something hey by. See, some people love their

  166. phone more than God. But you see the requirement of being fruitful your vetical

  167. relationship. God requires you to love him with all your heart, all your

  168. mind, all your soul, your emotions. What is taking the substance of

  169. your affection? Is it God? Or is it some boy that when you

  170. see Charlat your heart skips a beat boosh? Or is this some girl that

  171. Charlie. When you see her braids, Oh my God, you see her

  172. glasses, then your heart begins to do You need to love the Lord with

  173. all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind. The

  174. thoughts you think David often who said that, Lord, I think about you

  175. when I consider your wondrous works, When I consider the heavens and the earth

  176. and how beautiful you've made them, When I consider the birds that fly.

  177. When I think on these things, I see that, Oh God, you

  178. are great indeed, and so David became a man after God's own heart because

  179. his thoughts were always on God. Amen. But Charlie, some of you

  180. your thoughts where it goes, my God. If you take a microscope to

  181. see the things in your head. We were going fast for three weeks because

  182. they are wild things going on in your head, by ze. In order

  183. for you to be fruitful, God requires you to develop that vertical relationship.

  184. Amen. And in developing that relationship requires you to love the Lord with all

  185. of you. Amen. Let's look at someone verse one to five, and

  186. the Bible says, remember Genus eight, and God blessed them. Don't forget

  187. that. Let's go back to someone vers one to five, and the Bible

  188. says that blessed is the man who walks not in the council of the wicked.

  189. So you can remove man there and put your name there. If your

  190. name is that Joa puts blessed is that Jua who walks not in the council

  191. of the wicked. So for you to be blest as God blessed them in

  192. Genesis after one vest to any aid, you need not to walk in the

  193. Council of the wicked. Now, the counsel of the wicked is the mindsets,

  194. the agenda, the popular culture of the wicked. The wicked are any

  195. group of people who don't believe in God. They say there is no God.

  196. But if you consider all that God has created, and you can still

  197. sit down and say there is no God, then I wonder for you,

  198. because then the Bible qualifies you as a fool, because this is only a

  199. fool who's say in his heart there is no God. You understand, And

  200. so for you to be blessed and remain blessed, you don't need to walk

  201. in the council of the wicked. Amen. There's a lot of craziness going

  202. on in the world now, and very often the things you hear educated people

  203. who are in government talk about even as little to you that you want to

  204. did this person go to school? I mean, is the person's mind working

  205. correctly? Is he high on something cheap? Do you understand easy? Maybe

  206. he's a healing carousine. You never know that they and they will put forth

  207. things that people will subscribe to. So blessed is he who walks out in

  208. the council of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners? How

  209. many of you have friends here who are not Christians? Give the Lord a

  210. wave or give the Lord awave and shame the devil. You have friends who

  211. are not Christians? Amen? And how many of you are here and your

  212. friends? If I shout out to you because you are prone to peer pressure,

  213. give the Lord away he give the Lord awave and shame the devil you

  214. are You are prone to peer pressure. If you are a victim of peer

  215. pressure, you're a victim. You are prone. Not you, some people

  216. are. They are victims of the peer pressure just needs to appear, and

  217. they are following you understand. It says that blessed you see who stands not

  218. in the way of sinners? So away, it's a place where they come

  219. and go. They pass here to go. So blessed are you if you

  220. don't stand in the way, where do you come in? Pass and say,

  221. oh, chalie, Johnny, let's go. Or because you see them

  222. going in a group, because you don't want to be left out, you

  223. follow them, Johnny, Johnny Walker, and you're Johnny walking after them.

  224. You understand, So blessed you see who stands not in the way of sinners.

  225. So as a child of God. If your friends who are not Christians

  226. are influencing you, if your friends who are not have power over you,

  227. you're born again a character. Amen, And so as a child of God.

  228. But God expects you, in order for you to be blessed and to

  229. be fruitful, not to stand in the way of sinners. He also expects

  230. you not to sit in the seat of scoffs of scornness, people who scorn

  231. and make fun of the things of God. Amen. There are some people

  232. when they come to each do only come and mark the pastors English. He

  233. said, Amen, five thousand times. Somebody want to accuse me that I

  234. say too many amens when I'm preaching. But to them they can go to

  235. hell, because I'll say Amen, Oh somebody shout Amen, shout glorious.

  236. Amen. Amen, we will say amen, shunto Jesus comes. There's nothing

  237. you can do about it. You understand, And so blessed are they who

  238. do not sit in the seat of scolness. They sit down and they discuss

  239. to let the pastor today he's preaching, wasn't nice, crowd? Did you

  240. see his shoes? And they will make fun of the things of God.

  241. When he was spraying cry the thing wasn't working Jali's worship. His voice was

  242. as they are squeezing his neck. And they make fun of the things of

  243. God. And so those people, they will say that, oh, church

  244. is boring. Why why will you go to church? Why will you go

  245. to church? You get it, church is boring. Let's sit down,

  246. watch Netflix. There's something happening on Netflix. You see nine things you see.

  247. But as a child of God who is growing and becoming fruitful, you

  248. need to ask them, do you know the holy ghosts? Have you met

  249. Jesus? Do you know that Jesus of the Bible? You tell them,

  250. do you have joy in your heart? Ah? Then you display to them

  251. Cardo shados Do you know what Cardo Shadosh is? How can you say church

  252. is boring? Church is not boring because God is here and there is a

  253. blessing here. So church cannot be boring because I will leave blessed than I

  254. came, Amen, And so blessed is he who sits not in the seat

  255. of scorners. If you're happen to be in a place where people are talking

  256. about church and they are making fun of church, and they're saying that,

  257. oh, when they are praying to do cabra cabra, cabra, or what

  258. is that? Cabra cabra? What is cabra cabra? I didn't matter what

  259. is going on? Cabra cabra. When you, when you're happen to be

  260. in such a situation, run away because you are denying yourself a blessing.

  261. It's as blessed is he who sits not in the seat of scorners, So

  262. do not be part of them. That was all for my brother. You're

  263. welcome. Let's go my hands for my brother. Amen. Next verse verse

  264. two, and the piper says that, but his delight is in the law

  265. of the Lord. Please someone find for me the definition of delights. Yes,

  266. please say so that your friends can here. Tell them great pleasure and

  267. something for those of you don't have additionary delight means to have great pleasure in

  268. something. Please ask your neighbor where is your pleasure? What gives you pleasure?

  269. Is it you know the things we know? Or is it the word

  270. of God? So someone, where's one coming down? Blessed is he who

  271. delights in the law of the Lord, who delights in reading his or her

  272. Bible, who delights in having a quiet time, who delights in fellowshiping with

  273. God, who delights in having time to pray to God and on his law,

  274. he meditates day and night, who meditates on the word of God.

  275. Like David said, I would think of you, I will think of the

  276. things of God. I would think of what God has created so that I

  277. will bring praise out of me for me to thank God. Is that what

  278. gives you pleasure? Or isn't Netflix that gives you pleasure? For some of

  279. you? Is yes, Instagram only Instagram gives you pleasure day Hey, Instagram,

  280. YouTube, Facebook, those things thread then you on the straits he gives

  281. you. You are on it and you are scrolling and you're laughing. I

  282. was at the Mechanic show. I was doing our Serving my Charter show,

  283. She'll be one of these days Saturday for about two hours, and some guy

  284. was sitting by me. He was on Instagram and he was just scrolling funny

  285. videos and then you scroll, like, hey, so it's just hard the

  286. whole day, the Holy day, ha ha ha. There he scrow and

  287. I was like, Tally, is this guy an unlimited bundle or something?

  288. Because the way he's just scrolling, scrowling, scrowling two hours straight. That's

  289. where his pleasure is. And so he cannot be blessed of God. Amen.

  290. He cannot be fruitful because to be fruitful and to be blessed of the

  291. Lord requires you to delight in the law of the Lord. It requires you

  292. to meditate on His Lord day and night. Next verse. Please, And

  293. in doing all of this you become like a tree. Remember the soul.

  294. The power of the soul was so in seed. The outcome of any seed

  295. is to bring forth a plant, And the outcome of every plant is to

  296. bring forth fruit. Any plant that is not bringing forth fruit is not fulfilling

  297. its purples as a plant. And so it says you shall be like a

  298. tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and

  299. its leave does not wither. And in all that he does, he prospers.

  300. Amen. So if you want to prosper in all that you do,

  301. you need to develop your vertical relationship with God. You need to develop it.

  302. You need to have your quiet time. You need to develop a relationship

  303. with God in order to develop, so that your way will be made prosperous.

  304. Joshua, chapter one, verse eighth. Give me that scripture Joshua chapter

  305. one, verse eighth. Most is his admonition to Joshua. He said to

  306. him that this book of the Law, which is the Bible, the Word

  307. of God, shall not depart from your mouth. But you shall meditate on

  308. it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to

  309. all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous.

  310. Then you will have good success. Amen. So shout out to all

  311. the bombs of exam nations. You are missing out this great secrets to be

  312. a success and to be prosperous. Amen. So if you're in that category

  313. of bombers who bomb your exams every exam you're writing since you were in kindergarten,

  314. you bombs, please go to having a quiet time, develop your relationship

  315. with God. You begin to see success, You begin to see fruitfulness all

  316. around you. Amen. Before I got married, I moved to my ancle's

  317. house. All of our I just watched. This is the greatestimony I want

  318. to share. I moved to my ankle's house as spin takes, and he

  319. had a pear tree in his house that since they planted that pet tree had

  320. never borne fruit before and was very big behind the house. So when I

  321. moved in at night, I'll just be praying around, going and be praying

  322. under the pear tree, you know, just praying worshiping God. That year

  323. order I was there, the fruits are there bading and it started bearing fruits.

  324. And my cousin was telling me that tree since hours since I left,

  325. that the tree hasn't born fruit again. That year, the fruit born nice

  326. pear fruits that the neighbors will come and collect. While it was in season.

  327. There was always fruit on needs. And then I moved to Kabena the

  328. property as it was a big yard. They had plenty mango trees. There

  329. was no fruits a year after being there. That year we were distributors of

  330. mango. We distributed mango and it started boring fruits. And I realized that

  331. Charlie, this word of God is true. It works because everything around you

  332. will be fruitful. Even the mango trees are in your house, they'll start

  333. bearing fruits. They understand. Even the chickens are having laid eggs in they'll

  334. start laying eggs because the fruitfulness virus would watch them. Do you understand.

  335. And in that same house, I was a young boy. He used to

  336. bomb, bombing in school. He was a bomber. He bombs r The

  337. woman who was paying the scuomi he said, I won't pay your scubbies.

  338. I said, madad, you relax. So I met him outside one time

  339. and I was annoying. So I said, Michael, left your hands,

  340. put your hand on your head. I laid my house and I prayed,

  341. and I said, the name of Jesus, from today you are becoming fruitful.

  342. Anything you that causes you to bomb is canceled forever. Any foolishness in

  343. your blood line, I cuss it and I reverse it. You are becoming

  344. a success now in the name of Jesus. As I say, amen,

  345. He said amen. Guess what He went to rite BC. He passed distinction

  346. and you see it didn't end there when he applied. I said, what

  347. university do you want to go to? He said, oh, I want

  348. to go to Lego. The woman who was sponsoring paying the scowfies said,

  349. oh, Charlie, he's a bomber. I don't pay. I said,

  350. oh, come, I'll give you. I gave him money to pay his

  351. first scoofies. He got a mission. He's studying government. He's in level

  352. four hundred now and every every every semester when the result he texted to me

  353. and he's in the ace and b's a plus B plus category. Amen.

  354. So you see, if you are if you are bombing, if you are

  355. a bomber, I'm telling you this scripture will help you. Please put the

  356. scripture Joshua needs. It will help you. You need to develop your relationship

  357. with God. Say amen, hey, oh the bombers in the house say

  358. amen. Amen. So you see there are some bombs around. Amen.

  359. And so God requires us to develop our relationship with him. Amen. Who

  360. I said? Amen? Amen. So let's look at Galatians chapter five's twenty

  361. two talking about our horizontal relationship. Amen. Galatians chapter five, we's twenty

  362. two. So as part of the relationship, as part of the fruitfulness relationship,

  363. God requires you to have Amen. He requires you to grow in the

  364. things of God. Amen. And he requires you to grow such that you

  365. affect all the people that you come into contact with. You understand, God

  366. expects you for your fruitfulness to affect them so that they also become fruitful.

  367. And the Bible says Incalitions five twenty two. But the fruits of the spirit

  368. is love. So before you became born again, you are a hater.

  369. You just hate people. Some who they say that I don't like people.

  370. I just don't come and sit by you because they don't know you from anyway.

  371. But they hate you. They don't know you from Jack. You've never

  372. met them before. They don't like you, like the sight of you annoys

  373. them. You understand who has been in that situation before that You mean somebody

  374. you don't know them and they say they don't like you or you are that

  375. witnesses When I went to secondary school, so my senior house master he didn't

  376. like me and I I never met him before, I didn't know him from

  377. Jack, and so as someone to go and find out why he doesn't like

  378. me, and he says I changed sneakers too much, so because of that,

  379. he doesn't like me. So I decided that one semester I wasn't going

  380. to take sneakers. I took only one sound out to school, and even

  381. that semester he punished me. He made me going weird because he didn't like

  382. me. Do you understand? But guess what all those who don't like you

  383. can go to hell. God likes you, Amen, Or he didn't hear

  384. me. I said they can go to hell. God likes you if he

  385. likes you very much. Do you understand, Amen, And so you bear

  386. the fruit of love. So if before you didn't know how to show love

  387. to others, by growing in the things of God, you develop the fruit

  388. of love. Amen. That knowing who you are, the selfish you that

  389. you are, that if there's only one apple in the house and everybody's hungry,

  390. you go hide in your bathroom and eat the apple. But because you

  391. develop the fruit of love, you'd want to catch your apple and share.

  392. Amen. You share your apples. You show love towards one another. You

  393. consider the feelings of others more than yourself. You understand. You develop the

  394. fruit of joy. When you're coming to church. When you wake up Cardos

  395. Chicados, you'll be jamming by yourself to the Holy Ghost. You don't wait

  396. for anyone to jam up. You jam yourself up in the Holy Ghost.

  397. You ring joys and strengthen yourself up in the Holy Ghost. Amen. You

  398. have a you have alway in your heart. There's a holy spirit that gives

  399. it to you. It's a fruit of the spirit. And so they see.

  400. There are some people when they wake up, they frown their face as

  401. though somebody has meeting them. Their faces from con quas are and they will

  402. end. And so you see many of them. They will not get married

  403. anytime soon because their faces always come quick. But when they start to develop

  404. the fruit of the spirit called joy, when you see them, they'll give

  405. you a nice smile. They always have warmth. You always want to say,

  406. oh, hello when they are coming to don't come with their frown face

  407. as though they're not eating. So they're hungry and they're coming and like some

  408. people like no, but you come with joy. As you're coming. You

  409. are singing in your presence. I am content. You are singing to the

  410. Lord in your presence. I am content. You are singing to the Lord.

  411. In your presence. There is expressions of your and revelations of your power

  412. and mind. You are singing to God a love song because you have the

  413. element of joy in your heart. Amen, you have peace. The oldest

  414. WEE will give you peace in the midst of challenges. You will have peace

  415. of mind. Amen, there will be goodness and kindness in your heart.

  416. You will learn to you show goodness and kindness to others. You show kindness

  417. to others that when you show it to them, they will be surprised because

  418. you know, people don't show kindness anymore these days. Yes, people don't

  419. show kindness anymore. So sometimes I can show someone kindness and the person is

  420. flabbergasted, like they don't know what to do to themselves because it's it goes

  421. beyond their wildest imagination. As someone will just meet you and show your kindness.

  422. In this ganna, God will help us. You will be faithful.

  423. Amen, You'll be faithful. You'll learn to be faithful in little things because

  424. you've developed the fruit of the spirit. Can I hear an? Amen?

  425. Oh? Can I hear better? Amen? Amen? And so in developing

  426. your relationship, God requires you to develop your relationship upwards and on the horizontal

  427. plane, so that you become fruitful as He has instructed it to be.

  428. Amen. And so why must we be fruitful? Why must we be fruitful?

  429. Amen? Let's look at Second Quarantine chapter five or seventeen. Second Quarantine

  430. Chapter five or seventeen. Why must we be fruitful? How many of you

  431. know that God paid a great price to save you. Maybe some of you

  432. didn't hear me. I said, how many of you know that God paid

  433. a precious price to save you? Amen? You know wonderful. So why

  434. must we be fruitful? Because God's plan is that every child of his should

  435. be fruitful. The reason why we need to be fruitful, according to second

  436. Contiens, after five but seventeen, is that Bible says that therefore, if

  437. anyone is in Christ, he's a new creation. The old has passed away.

  438. Behold, all things have become new. So God has made you brand

  439. new by the saving grace of His son Jesus. Amen. Next verse second

  440. Conthiens. Please, all this is from God. He, through his son

  441. Christ, Jesus, has reconciled us to himself. What is the definition for

  442. reconcile dictionary meaning for reconcile, reconciled? Anybody reconciled? Yes, google it,

  443. reconcile, Yes, sorry, together, come together? That's an aspect

  444. of reconciliation. Yes, who else another definition of reconciliation? Yes, please

  445. repeat? Tell them the restoration of friendly relations, the restoration of friendly relations.

  446. To come together, as our sister said, to come together. So

  447. how many, ever, remember that after Adam and Eve sinned, their relationship

  448. with God was broken. But through Christ Jesus, God has reconciled as back

  449. to himself. A and he has not just reconciled us back to himself,

  450. but in honor for us to be fruitful, he has given to us the

  451. ministry of reconciliation. So now you are an agent of reconciliation. You understand

  452. God has made you an agent of reconciliation. So your responsibility now, as

  453. a child of God, is to reconcile people back to God. How many

  454. of you have friends who are not born again? You have friends who are

  455. unbelievers. Please lift your hand. It is your responsibility to reconcile them to

  456. God. Can I hear an? Amen? It is Please tell your neighbor

  457. it is your responsibility to reconcile your on born again friends to God. Amen.

  458. And so by reconciling them to God, you become fruitful. Janasan,

  459. there's a testimony I heard about a young man who is not too old from

  460. your age, and he usually go out to tell people about Christ. You

  461. witness to people, and you know he was. He was young, so

  462. he didn't have a lot going for him. But one day one of the

  463. people he had led to Christ was sick and in the hospital, so he

  464. went to visit him in the hospital and the person he had won to Christ

  465. there was nothing going for him, so even hospital builds if he couldn't pay.

  466. So the guy went to the little money in his pocket and paid part

  467. payment and was negotiating with the hospitals that oh, you release him. This

  468. is my phone. It's not the best, but Chali, you take you

  469. see someone who loves God more than his phone was able to offer his phone.

  470. He said, you take my phone. I will come back with the

  471. balance. And while he was negotiating, I was this man who was sitting

  472. there who had come to visit someone. He had it and he was like

  473. this guy the way he's it really likes this guy. So he went and

  474. said how much is the balance he mentioned? He said, I'll pay for

  475. you. He paid it, and when he was leaving, the guy was

  476. also leaving and he asked him can I give you a lift? And he

  477. said, oh, I'm going this way. He said I'm also going there.

  478. While they were driving, the lord said to the man who paid offer

  479. to pay, he said, give him a house. The guy was into

  480. real estates. He had many houses. He said, give him a house.

  481. So he drove straight to his estates and said, God said, I

  482. should give you a house. This is the house, this is your key.

  483. I'll bring you the papers tomorrow. Do you understand? And you see

  484. it didn't only end there. When he was on his way out, God

  485. said, give him a car. Listen, you are here. You've been

  486. taking to be fruitful so that God will say give him a car. Give

  487. her a car. Just imagine driving a Mini Cooper. Hey, you're driving

  488. a landing to change. You have your own goal four and you are driving.

  489. You have to think Hi. You understand. So in one day that

  490. guy became a property owner and he the man told him that there's a garage

  491. across the estates. Go there and choose any car you want to come and

  492. pay for it. You understand. So by saving God, developing your relationship

  493. upwards and being fruitful and developing its sideways, and touching the lives of others

  494. and being an agent of reconciliation, fruitfulness will come into your life even when

  495. you don't ask for it. Because I don't think the guy was praying that

  496. God give me a house. I'm sure you was even probably praying for like,

  497. God help me so I can pay my rents in the coming month.

  498. But guess what, God give him a house and give him a car in

  499. one day. Amen. So you see, you not need to deceive people

  500. and be a four nine frost start to buy a messdes beans. God will

  501. help you. Amen. And how many of you know that the blessings of

  502. the Lord are without sorrow. There's no sorrow with the blessings of God.

  503. When God bless you, sleep and sleep well. Amen. And so God

  504. has given to us the message of reconciliation. Please tell your neighbor. God

  505. has given to you the message of reconciliation. So you need to reconcile the

  506. world back to him next verse quickly, please next verse verse nineteen. That

  507. is, in Christ, God was reconciling the world to himself self, not

  508. counting their tresspasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation.

  509. What is the message of reconciliation? John three sixteen. For God so loved

  510. the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believes in him

  511. should not perish but have everlasting life. It is time to tell your friends

  512. who are not born again John three sixteen. Yeah, it's just time to

  513. tell them your friends who this Sunday morning their home, they are playing pss

  514. PS five for PS seven. Ps five seven doesn't come. They are playing

  515. FIFA. They are watching Netflix. Some I've been watching pornography right now this

  516. Sunday morning. Tell them about John three sixteen. But you, as a

  517. Christian, you don't even know John three sixteen because you don't do quiet time,

  518. so you are unfruitful. How can you tell them about quiet time?

  519. And when you meet, you are all laughing together. Ha ha ha,

  520. you're laughing and you are laughing with them. To hell. He's going to

  521. hell. Oh my god. The guy is going to hell. Oh my

  522. god. And I also wanting him to hell. But see, let him

  523. not be a story that you have a friend who is who is not borne

  524. again, who is going to hell. Amen, lead your friends to Christ

  525. because Jesus has given you the message of reconciliation. Can I hear an?

  526. Amen? Amen? Back to my scripture Second Corinthians five. Amen, And

  527. he has entrusted us with a message of reconciliation. Amen. What does it

  528. mean to entrust to have trust in someone? So say for inside if I

  529. give this my wallet, it has all my bank cards inside, it has

  530. money inside, It has my identities inside, it has quite some number of

  531. things inside. If I'm to give it to you, it means I trust

  532. you that you won't go and you know still my identity and go to the

  533. bank, and when sign and take money from my account, and when by

  534. your camillo and enjoy with your friends. Do you understand? So God hasn't

  535. trusted us with a message of reconciliation. Please ask your neighbor can you be

  536. trusted? Can please ask them? Can God trust you with the message of

  537. reconciliation to reconcile people to him? Can God trust you? Amen? So

  538. if God can't trust you, you know yourself that God he can't trust you.

  539. Because your parents don't trust you. When they are traveling and you are

  540. the one only person, they will go to your auntie's house, will lock

  541. our door because they can't trust you. Do I have a witness? I

  542. can't see some people looking at me. Amen? So be trusted because God

  543. hasn't trusted us with a message of reconciliation. Next verse. Therefore we are

  544. ambassadors for Christ. Who are we? Who are we? We are ambassadors

  545. for Christ. Some people are not saying it because they don't want to take

  546. the title. But whether you like it or not, once you are in

  547. the Kingdom of God, God has made you an ambassador for Christ. And

  548. who is an ambassador. An ambassador as someone who looks out for the foreign

  549. policy and interests of a nation in another place, you understand. So as

  550. an ambassador, you represent Christ Jesus, you represent the Kingdom of God.

  551. And so let your friends know that you are a Christian. Some of your

  552. friends don't even know you're a Christian. When they hear you're a Christian,

  553. they will laugh because Jala, there is nothing to show that you are a

  554. Christian because the bad things they do, you do it with them. You

  555. are the last prefect of the bad things. You are flowing with them always.

  556. So they don't even know you're acquaints that you're a Christians. They won't

  557. believe you. But as an ambassador of Christ Jesus, you need to stand

  558. out. Amen. You need to stand out. Amen. And so God

  559. is making his appeal through you. God is making his appeal through you that

  560. people should be reconciled upon to God. Amen. And so we employ you

  561. on behalf of Christ Jesus. We beg you, I beg you me and

  562. Reverend we beg you on behalf of Christ Jesus. That would be reconciled onto

  563. God. So you can reconcile other people to God. Can I hear an?

  564. Amen? Amen? Am I talking to somebody today? Amen? Amen?

  565. And so the reason why we need to be reconciled ont too God.

  566. The reason why we need to be fruitful is that, according to Matthew chapter

  567. five, verse thirteen to sixteen. Matthew chapter five, verse thirteen to sixteen,

  568. the Bible says that you are the salt of the earth. By the

  569. salt of the earth. When you go to the chop bar or a restaurant

  570. and you see they save people and they put the fast food in their mouth,

  571. then take salt and they they will put salt and season the food properly.

  572. You understand. They will do some ten times season the food and then

  573. they'll eat. You are the salt of the earth. But if salt loses

  574. its taste, please the si incidents. Is that a way to give salt

  575. back some boost to become salty again. Sorry, that's why. Unless you

  576. create new salts, unless you create new sALS. But in this case,

  577. nobody's going to recreate you. So you are done. For salt that is

  578. not salty is useless. It's not used for anything. How shall I,

  579. how shall it assualtings be restored? It is no longer good for anything except

  580. to be thrown out and trumpled upon under the feet of people. So they

  581. throw it away and people walk on it. So people walk all over you.

  582. So as the salt of the earth that has lost assaultiness that we can't

  583. even put you in a bank client for you to taste nice. You have

  584. lost your assaulting it. The only use is that they will throw you down

  585. and people will walk all over you. They will walk all over you,

  586. they will call you names, they will assault you. They will walk all

  587. over you, because you have lost your place assault of the earth. Amen.

  588. Next verse, you are the light of the world. The second reason

  589. is that you are the light of the world. You understand if in this

  590. place all the lights here goes off, everything goes off, and the only

  591. light in this place is this lights torch light on this thing, Let meybe

  592. and give you the second one. The only light you have is this one.

  593. Everybody will come to the lights isn't also, because this will be the

  594. only lights. God is saying that you are the light of the world.

  595. Amen, you are the light of Thus please say to yourself, I am

  596. the light of the world. You are the light of the world. So

  597. God expects you to shine forth as light. Amen. As city set on

  598. a hill cannot be hidden, a city that is set on a hill cannot

  599. be hidden. Please shout out to those who have not been in a plane

  600. before. We are praying for you to sit on a plane very soon.

  601. When a plane is approaching a city, you get to see the lights.

  602. Amen, you see the lights. A city that is set on a hill

  603. cannot be hit. Amen. So, as a Christian, a child of

  604. God who is fruit bearing, you cannot hide that you are not a Christian.

  605. It would be impossible for your friends not to know that actually there's something

  606. unique about this guy or this girl. They will not bring some conversations your

  607. way. Amen, when you are present, there are some topics that they

  608. will not discuss because you are there. You will call them scripture. But

  609. if you are not the light of the world and they're feel free to discuss

  610. anything, then it means you are hiding yourself. As a city set on

  611. a hill. Can I hear an? Amen? And final, let's look

  612. at Isaiah chapter sixty, verse one to three. And God is telling you

  613. this morning that arise, shine, for your light has come, because you

  614. are the light of the world. Arise, shine, for your light has

  615. come, because you are the light of the world. Arise, shine,

  616. for your light has come. And the glory of the Lord is risen upon

  617. you. And so please tell your neighbor, I see the glory of God

  618. all over you. I see the glory of God all over you. I

  619. see the glory of God all over you, because you are the light of

  620. the world. And as you rise up and you shine as a light,

  621. the glory of God will be seen on you. Amen. Next verse.

  622. The reason why we need to rise and shine is that there is darkness in

  623. this world. Darkness shall cover the face of the earth, and thick darkness,

  624. thick darkness that when you are inside you feel as though you can feel

  625. the darkness. The people of the earth, there are people whose hearts are

  626. there's a light off in their heart. There is no light. Since God

  627. said let them be lights, there has not been light in their heart.

  628. And guess what they're your best friend. Hey, and you are laughing with

  629. them. We are going to hell. We are going to hell. Hey,

  630. repent. Jesus is coming shine forth as light because there is darkness and

  631. grows darkness in the hearts of people. Amen. But the Lord will arise

  632. upon you. Amen. Someone lives a right and say, Lord, arise

  633. upon me today. Amen. The Lord will arise upon you today, and

  634. his glory will be seen upon you. Amen. So as you begin to

  635. develop your relationship with God, as you begin to have your quiet time,

  636. as you begin to engage with everything, the Word of God says, you

  637. meditate on the world. You become fruitful. And by being fruitful, you

  638. will shine forth as a light. A man, You will shine forth as

  639. light, and men and women will run to your light so that they are

  640. saved. A man, a young man, was telling me in the first

  641. is that one of his friends is a Muslim, and the reason why he

  642. hasn't spoken to him about Jesus is that he's a Muslim and he goes to

  643. mosque. So I asked him, it's your Muslim a Christian? He said

  644. no, I said, as your Muslim friend, no, Jesus, does

  645. he know the Holy Ghost? Does he know about the Kingdom of God.

  646. Does he know about heaving and Hell? He said no, And I say

  647. yes, you need to tell him about it because he doesn't know. So

  648. tell him about it and let him make the decision, and pray for him.

  649. While praying for him, you'll be surprised. He himself will come to

  650. you and say, tell me about your Jesus. I want to hear about

  651. your Jesus. And because you are you are a quiet time addict who has

  652. quiet time to know the word of God, you'll be able to tell him

  653. about Christ Jesus as an agent of reconciliation, as the salt of the earth,

  654. and as the light of the world. Can I hear an? Amen?

  655. Please stand on your feet. Amen, you you ancient science. King

  656. Cardos, Cardos, my dear, you want to pray for yourself because you

  657. know yourself better than anyone else. You know whether you're being fruitful or you

  658. are not being fruitful. Only you know, Amen, So just close your

  659. eyes wherever you are and just ask the Lord to say, Father, help

  660. me. I want to be fruitful. I want to be salt of the

  661. earth. I want to be light of the world. Help me, Oh

  662. God, to be fruitful. Help me to develop my relationship with you.

  663. In the name of Jesus. Someone, open your mouth and begin to pray.

  664. Open your mouth and pray. Let the heavens hear your voice. Open

  665. your mouth and pray. Open your mouth and pray. Open your mouth and

  666. pray. Open your mouth and pray. Open your mouth and pray. Open
