( Duality )pt2 23.04.2023

Shall we pray, Father, we give you thanks this morning. We bless

your name for what you've done for us. A million tongues are not enough

to say thank you for how good you've been to us. One trillion tongues

are not enough to say thank you. So this morning, Lord, with

the one tongue you're giving to each of us, we say thank you,

Lord Jesus. With a tongue you've put in our mouths, we say thank

you, Lord Jesus for the very breath you're giving to us. The Sunday

morning, we say thank you, Lord Jesus for good health you've given to

us. We say thank you, Lord Jesus for gathering us together again under

the banner of your love. We say thank you, Dear Lord Jesus.

Only you is deserving of our thanks, and we bring our thanks only to

you this morning. Be glorified in the praise of your people, Be glorified

in the testimonies of your people. Be glorified in the thanksgiving of your people.

Even be glorified in the praise of your people. Or Jesus and Father.

As we are gathered here, we know you are here in our midst,

and so you are welcome into our presence. Lord Holy Spirit, have

your way, Lord Holy Spirit, lead us in the way we should go.

Lord Holy Spirit, and grant us O God, favor, Grant us

mercy, Grant us hope, Grant us love. That we will leave not

the same way we came in, and that this morning we will leave with

our encounter. Because you have been with us, we give you thanks,

and Father, we give you all praise in Jesus precious name. Let a

believer shout and aimen to the Lord. Oh, can we clap our hands

for Jesus while we celebrate. Amen, And so you're welcome to church.

One more time. Amen. Can you lift your right hand to the Lord

and just say this after me, Say, Dear Lord Jesus, this morning,

take away every garment of heaviness, every garment of heaviness, every garment

of heaviness, and give me a garment of praise. Give me a garment

of praise. Say Dear Lord Jesus. Whatever distracts me from hearing your word,

whatever distracts me from hearing your word, say, in the name of

Jesus, let it'd be arrested this morning, and let it be cursed in

the name of Jesus. We'll give you thanks in Jesus. Mighting a Amen.

Amen, Let's club for Jesus one more time. Amen. This morning,

i'd want to continue our teaching on duality. We started a series on

duality last week. Amen. How many were in church last week? Okay?

So many were not in church last week? Where have you been?

Are you not coming from school or you're chilling at home? Amen? But

you're welcome. I'll do a short recap for you. Amen. So choir,

it looks like you've all become one logal logo line. Half of you

should come here, so all of you behind, Yes, from Michelle's line,

all of you come here and feel this empty space? All right?

Amen. So we started a series on duality last week, and we came

to understand that as a child of God, you can't live a dual life.

You can't live a dual life. You need to be the same when

you come to church. You need to be the same when you go home.

You need to be the same when you go to school. You need

to be the same when you are with your friends. But unfortunately, many

Christians live a dual life. Many Christians have a dual personality. So in

church, they are Quazy the church boy. But when they are in school

they are Quacy the German leader, the profane German leader. When they are

in school they are this. When they are home they are that. There's

been many testimonies that many of your friends have given that suppose that many of

us here are living a dual life. Amen. But if we are truly

going to be strong Christians, if we are truly going to be children of

God, the children of God that Jesus came to die for, to redeem,

to save, to sanctify, justify, redeem, and to give us

access to be called children of God, then we can't live a dual life,

Amen, Because living a dual life will cut us short from fulfilling everything

that God has set in place for us. Amen. And so our foundational

scripture from last week was in Judges chapter fourteen, which exposed to us the

life of Samson. It exposed to us the life of Samson. And many

of you know Samson only to be a character in the Bible who was very

strong. But we learned further to know that Samson was not only a strong

man, but Samson was a servant of God, someone who was separated for

the purpose of God. Samson was also a judge over the people of God

for twenty years. That's is information. Many people don't know Samson the spiritual

leader like the prime minister or the president of Israel for twenty years. And

though he was separated onto God as the spiritual leader, Sampson lived a dual

life on so many occasions that ended his life short. He didn't fulfill all

that God had planned and purpose for him. Amen. And so there are

many of you who are still living a dual life. But I'm here to

admonish you that if you want to see the goodness of God in your life

as you are growing up, living a dual life is not an option for

you as a child of God. Amen. Who I said, Amen,

Are you in church? Let me check it again because some of the fair

service people they were just looking at me. But when we ask them what

did you learn to they didn't even remember one thing? So are you in

church? Are you sure you are in church? Please look at your name.

But when they are sleeping, give them an elbow for their own good.

Amen. And so all that we are teaching you here is to help

you grow and to become a strong Christian. Amen. Next week, by

the grace of God, will start a new series on how to become a

strong Christian. How to become a strong Christian, because if you are not

a strong Christian, you think that living a dual life is okay. You

think that not saving God with all your heart is okay. You think that

not saving God with all your mind is okay. You think that saving God

with all your soul and your strength is okay. But when you become a

strong Christian, you come to understand that saving God with half of your heart,

a quarter of your heart, is not an option. Because if what

God has done for us, what Christ suffered on the cross for us,

he came to do it for us to live a half life and just to

give God peanuts and save God in just little ways, then we are truly

telling Jesus that what you did, yes know you suffered by chally is not

important. Amen. And if you come to that understanding and that place,

then you should know that there is no place for you in the Kingdom of

God. Because Jesus said, I am the Way, the Truth, and

the Life, that no one comes to the Father except through Me. So

if this Jesus, who suffered for you, who died for you, who

roads are from the dead, for you, who has given you the opportunity

to be called a child of God. You can't save him, but you

want to save God. With a dual life like something, your life can

be terminated abruptly. Your life can come to an end shortly. You will

not live to fulfill all your full potential as God has ordained for you before

you were born. Amen. And so today I believe you have your pens

and your notebooks to make some notes. How many of you have a notebook

and a pen to write some things down? Amen. One sign that you

are a good student is that good students take notes. Good students take notes.

Good students ask questions because they take notes and they ponder on the notes

they've taken, and then they ask more questions. Amen. So if you

don't have the habit of taking notes when you come to church, you should

start developing the habit of taking notes when you come to church. Amen.

Because if last week we gave you four points on examples of duality and you

remember only one point from last week, and this week I give you four

extra points and you only remember one point because it didn't write notes. Then

at the end of the series of duality, you only remember two points.

But your friends who have notes have eight points. And the eight points who

benefits them more than you, who just has two points. And because you

didn't write it down, even the two points, you can't forget. And

one month later you will not remember duality. And when you are living a

dual life, nothing will prick you that then you are strained or come back

and live a single life for Christ Jesus. Amen. And so let's write

some notes this morning. Amen. And so let's look at our foundational scripture

from Romance chapter one, verse two. Romance chapter one, verse two.

I need someone to read for us today Romance chapter one, verst. Two.

Who's reading for us? Any volunteer, Any volunteer who brought their Bible

to church? Okay, it's the it's on the screen. Who is volunteering

to read for us? Amen? Give the mine to anybody, Let them

read. You can close your eyes and walk to somebody Romance one, vers

two, which he promised before Romance twelve, vers one and two. Romance

twelve, Verse one and two. I beseech you, therefore, brethren,

by the messages of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice wholly

acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed

to this world, but to be transformed by the renewing of your mind,

that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect to all of

God. Romance two of convest to one to two. Amen, thank you

so much. Can we clap for her? Amen? You see you're not

clapping. You didn't offer to read. Somebody has read cloud for the person

too. You don't want to cloud? Hey, are you be ple sure

you're in change? Because the way you are going, it looks like I

have to tell Papa to bring somebody to come and pass to your people because

you need somebody will be hey, hey, hey on you that's what you

need. Amen. But in Romance chapter twelve and one and two Apostle Paul's

letter to the church in Rome, he said to them it was an advice

to them because they also had the tendency to live du our lives. They

were living dual lives. They were guilty of duality. And so he said

to them, I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the messies of God.

So Apostle Paul was saying to them, I beg you, by the

messies of God. I am begging you, I'm kneeling down, and I'm

begging you, by the messies of God, that you present your bodies a

living sacrifice, holy and acceptable onto God. In the Book of Corinthians,

we've come to understand that our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit.

Your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit dwells in

your body, So your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. Now

let me ask a question. How many of you will be very happy to

open your bedroom door. No, in fact, let's close the bedroom door,

open your bedroom window and tell the zoom Lion people after they've collected all

the rabbis in your neighborhood, please push it through my window fill my room

for me. Or we call the other zoom lion people who go and take

the sewage matter and tell them, instead of taking it to loving the hill

pass by my house, just pump it into my house. I believe you'll

not be happy sleeping on a bed that has cocroaches and lizards and has some

foul smells. Amen. So even you you want your bedroom to be cleaned,

except those who don't like to clean their bedroom no one is another story.

But for those who are well, many who want their bedrooms to be

cleaned and everything to be nice. You don't want to contaminate your space with

filth. Amen. And so in the same way, your body is the

temple of the Holy Spirit, and the Spirit of God dwells in your body.

And so Apostle Paul was saying that I beseech thee brethren that present your

body's a living sacrifice onto God, a living sacrifice wholly and acceptable onto God.

And so as you present your body living a living sacrifice wholly and acceptable

to God, it means that God now responds to your living sacrifice and says

that, yes, I will make my dwelling inside of you. Amen.

And I need you to understand, is that any vessel that has the indwelling

of the Holy Spirit, any vessel that has God dwelling in them, they

prevail, they overcome, they succeed. Amen. And so when you have

God inside of you, you actually not look your actual age. You will

be old, but they will think that you're a small boy. Amen.

You'll be old, but they will think you're a small girl. You actually

have would have advanced in age, but they will think you're a small girl.

Went for a bad day party. One of my homesale leaders, she's

a thickness in the church, and then they were mentioning her age. She

was seventy years old. But if you look at Anti deb Anti, Debby

looks like a forty five year old woman. Amen. So, when you

have the spirit of God in you, the Bible says that God will renew

your youth. So even when you are old, you are young. Amen.

And so it says that present your body as a living sacrifice acceptable to

God, holy, unacceptable to God. Which is your reasonable service as this

age. Your reasonable service to God is to present your body a living sacrifice

on to God. Amen. Because there is no mandate on you to go

and take a microphone and preach to anybody, Michelle. Has anyone come to

tell you that go and preach to five people at a crime or if you

don't preach them, you eat. Has anyone told it? If you're coming

to church and you don't bring anyone to change you eat? Your reasonable service

to God now is to present your body a living sacrifice, holy, unacceptable

to God. That is the only way you can show God the Lord I'm

saving you. I want to save you properly. Amen, Because other things

that older people are required to do in the house of God, that is

not a requirement for you. But the requirement for you to prove that you

love God and you want to save God, is to present yourself a living

sacrifice onto God. Amen, which is your reasonable service onto God. And

he went further and said that don't be conformed to this world. Conformity means

to be like, to adhere to, to fully embrace. It is happening

in the world now that men say that they identify as women, and many

people are conforming to it. That you see a grown as man, or

excuse, my friend, you see a grown up man who has a beard,

a law most is beard and is wearing women shoose and wearing women dress,

and say I identify as a woman. Conformity. Amen. It is

normal practice that any teenager in the world is watching pornography. It is normal

practice conformity. The moment they have a phone, they are browsing. Amen.

There is research to prove that in the whole wide world, when it

comes to the Internet, the thing that is streamed most the statistics, pornography

is on top and the places where pornography is number one. The first country

in the whole world is Nigeria and guess where the second country is Ghana.

So it means that out of ten people, eight people have watched pornography or

they're watching pornography. So conformity. Don't be conformed to this world. This

world here is not the physical world, but this is the way of thinking

of this world. Don't conform to it, but be transformed by the renewing

of your mind. God wants your minds to be renewed. And so by

renewing your mind you come to a place where you tell God that, yes,

I am a strong Christian, I am a proper Christian. Amen,

Oh, I said Amen. And so by renewing your mind, you'll be

able to prove, You'll be able to know, you'll be able to testify

of the things that are good, of what is acceptable, and what's the

perfect will of God for your life is because God, the will of God

for all of us is that we will all be in the perfect will of

God. Amen. But until you even get to the good will of God,

it requires you to renew your minds. Amen. And so you can't

come to church and sit down for two hours and at the end of the

service we ask you what did you hear today and say I didn't hear anything.

Are you deaf? Your ear can't hear? Do you understand? You

need to renew your minds so that what God wants for you to hear,

to change your life and to make you better, you will hear it.

Amen. I gave an example a few weeks back that when you are growing

up, there's a stage where you need to learn how to brush your teeth.

You need to learn the technique of brushing your teeth, you need to

be conscious about. Your parents will do it for you, but it gets

point in time where you need to do it yourself. But when it gets

to that point in time and you decide that I won't brush my teeth when

I wake up, I go and drink each say on top, then I'll

buy our chair, eat on top. Then I'll go for lunch. I'll

go and eat. Then you keep going and going. The next day you

say or I won't brush, you just do carry forward onto it. At

the end of the day, you are the one who's mouth will smell.

Amen. You are the one whose tooth will decay. You are the one

who will go to the dentist and will put a needy in your tooth to

extract it. Do you understand? So there is a stage where you need

to learn certain things, so that when you grow beyond that stage, it

has not become an issue for you. Amen. And So for us to

know the good will of God, the acceptable will of God, the perfect

will of God, it requires us not to conform to this world. It

requires us to be transformed by the renewing of our minds. Men. And

how we can be transformed is to hear the word of God, to write

it down to steady the word of God, to meditate on the word of

God. That is what will bring transformation to us. Amen. And so

we're going straight into our message for to their duality. What is duality?

So last week we define what duality is, and duality simply means the act

of living two lives, the act of having multiple personalities. Amen, the

act of living two lives, a double life. It is also the act

of having two personalities or two natures embodied in one person. One lifestyle is

displayed in public and the other lifestyle displayed in private. Amen, we ask

a few of your friends in the first service, give me one example of

an area in your life that you think is a dual life which you need

to change. You'll be amazed at stories they told us. Some would say

that or at home, I'm very respectful, but when I go out,

I'm very rude. Some would say at home, I don't talk, I'm

very quiet, but when I go out, I'm like a parrot. Some

would say at home, I'm a very good boy, but when I go

out, I do a lot of bad things. That's his duality. You

are living a dual life. You are inconsistent as a human being. Because

the Bible says in the Book of Journalis that God created man in his own

image and likeness. God did not create man to be a dual personality.

You are supposed to be you If your name is a dual. When we

come to your house and we ask Daddy, how it is our dua at

home, the testimony we hear about you, it should be the same when

we go to your school and we ask your friend that friend you like going

out to it? I said, how it's a joy at school? Your

testimony should be coherent. We should not hear that, Oh adjoys like this,

but over here he adjoys like this too. So at home, adjoys

my baby she's a good girl. But when we go to school we ask

your friends, oh, Charlie House, oh leave that bad girl that thinks

she was doing last night. Say we can't say she's a good girl.

Amen, and I need you to understand that there is nothing that is hidden

from God. Everything you do, there is an angel assigned to everybody you.

God has given you an angel. You you have an angel. You

you have an angel. You have an angel. Everything. The angels are

following you with a notebook and append everything you are doing, they are recording

it. Everything you are doing, they are recording it, whether good or

bad, they are recording it. Everything you say, they are recording it.

Because when we leave the everybody will be judged. There is judgment for

everybody. There is no free entry for anything. Judgment for everybody. So

when you are in the dark room and you are watching your pond and you

are doing things, you should know that your angel is recording it. Amen.

When you are on your phone late at night, when your parents are

sleeping and you are you know the Angel is recording it. Amen. So

let's go straight into the examples of duality that we discussed last week, Amen,

and then we'll come to this week. So the first example we found

from judges Chatter fourteen one to nineteen that had too that spoke about Samson.

We came to understand that Samson was a man who was separated onto God.

Samson was ordained by God to be a ruler over Israel as a judge,

and he helped Israel so much during the time where the Philistines had occupied Israel

and were ruling over them. And we came to understand that those Samson was

separated onto God. Samson was unequally yoked with the world. So those Samson

was separated, he was righteous for God. He was anointed to God to

be a spiritual leader. He was going around visiting prostitutes that were not supposed

to have been visited by him. Amen. The second example we learned last

week was that those Samson was very spiritual, he was also cannel. Though

Samson was very spiritual, he was also very connal. Because the Bible says

that the Angel, the spirit of God usually came on Samson and gave him

the power and the ability to do extraordinary things. But even though he was

a vessel that the spirit of God could come upon, he was also very

carnal because he also liked the dark things that the Philistines used to indulge in.

He liked to conform to those things amen, and they brought him too

many problems in his life. The third thing we spoke about last week was

worshiping God with your mouth, Yet in your heart you are rebelling in your

heart. You are rebelling in your heart. Many of you come to church.

I don't know if your parents forced you to come to church, but

if you were to stand where I'm standing here and you look at their face,

you won't even bother to preach to them. I'm telling you, you

won't even bother to preach to them, because the way to will look at

you and give you some face. If you are not inspired by the holy

spirits they have, foolishness will drive you or you say, oh, Jali,

everyone can go to Hell and you'll go to heaven. Do you understand?

So they come to church on the pretense that they are here to worship

God, but in their hearts they are rebelling against God. We asked a

young lady in the first service, Oh, how was your experience with church?

She said, Oh, I didn't like the music. I didn't like

the music, so like for her Chi, it's a waste of time.

But see, I can predict a future. If she doesn't change, she's

on her way to hell streets. You don't need to be a scientist to

predict this one. You don't even need to go to school to be able

to predict this one. Do you understand if you don't like God and the

things of God, your life can only turn out one way. It's either

you are in light or you are in darkness. And in lights they are

the pleasures of God. Forevermore, there's the goodness of God, the favor

of God, the grace of God. All of that is in the light

of God. Outside of the light of God's darkness. Any and everything that

Satan see, Satan will come john't ten ten. The Bible says that the

thief comes not but to steal, to kill, and to destroy. If

you allow Satan into your life, they will steal your faith by the time

you realize you don't like God anyway, and you'll be on a downward spiral

onto your distraction. That is what Satan has for you. Amen. The

next point we studied last week was that another example of duality is men please

us and God please us at the same time. And we did an example

that try looking up with one eye and try looking down with one eye.

It's impossible. You can't look up with your left eye and look down with

your right eye. No, if you're looking up, you're looking up together

with both eyes. If you're looking down, it's the same way. Amen.

So you can't please God and please men at the same time. There

are many of the reason why you are living a dual life is because of

peer pressure. It's because of peer pressure. When your friends say, oh,

let's go, then you are following, sub follow, follow, Then

you're following, follow, follow, then you're following. But you need to

have a mind of your own so that you are not a victim of duality.

Amen. And so we understood also that duality encourages the spirit of hypocrisy.

It encourages the spirit of hypocrisy, the spirit of pretense. So you

come to church, you pretend to be a Christian, but you know in

your heart you are not really a Christian you are you are playing with God.

You are a joker. You come here just to tell a while away

time. Don't worry, your life will also be whiling away. Yes,

but if you truly came to save God, then you ought to be a

pleaser of God. For those of you who like walking around, I don't

want to mention your name. When you come to church, you are like

a robot. When we look here, you're walking when we look out,

when we tend you are also working there. Hey, please be a pleaser

of God. When you come to church, come with a purpose to save

God, to know something, to learn something. Don't just come to church

and be walking around aimlessly. When we ask you where are you going?

I don't know. When we meet you here, where are you going?

There? You try and dodge. Aren't you tired of our life? Learn

to be sober, so you learn to be a proper Christian and a proper

child of God. So duality encourages hypocrisy, It encourages pretends. It also

encourages the spirit of lies. So you get up, you are going?

We say where are you going? Then you the first thing that comes out

of your mouth is a lie, Because you are living a dual life.

You are a pretender. Stop being a pretender a man. So it encourages

the spirit of lies and the spirit of self destruction, and self destruction is

the most self deception is the most dangerous type of deception. If I come

and tell you that this microphone that I'm holding, that the base is black

is white, that is deception. I'm trying to deceive you, jo understand.

But if you yourself decide that you want to deceive your own self,

that is the most dangerous part of deception, because with that one, your

end is destruction. Amen. And so today I want to give you four

new examples of duality for free. I'm not charging you for that one,

Amen, So that you grow to know the best things that God wants for

you. Amen. So the first example, so that will be example number

five of duality is mature and yet childish. So something judged Israel for twenty

years. It takes maturity to be a judge and to be able to lead

a nation for this number of years. Samson had to be show some maturity

in order for God to give him this role to play. But looking at

Samson's life, you may get the impression that he was just very last four,

He was just chasing one prostitute after another. But he was a judge

over Israel for twenty years, and that was some kind of maturity. A

child is very stable in their way. The first service I use west periods,

Oh yeah here, the first I use JJ As an example. I

said that if you put how old is JJ four? Yes, JJ is

fo. He's always like Chloe's age. You understand if you put a two

year old or a three year old boy or girl here, sit down,

I'm coming hey, please, would they be say that they sit? The

moment you move, they also move in. So a child is unstable,

like the waves of the sea. A child is very unstable and very unsteady.

Do you understand the thing you tell a child don't do, that is

what they want to do because they want to try it and see what will

happen, what the outcome will be. If you tell a child don't touch

this stove when you are not looking, that is where they will go and

touch. So Samson, though he was matured, he behaved like a child.

So the things he was told not to do, that is what he

eventually ended up doing. That brought his life to an end. Amen.

So there are many childish Christians in our church today. There are many many

childish Christians, but we need to grow up from the childishness. Amen.

We need to grow up for you. When you come to church, you

wait and when it's preaching time, they get up. I'm going to weave.

That is a sign of your child You are not matured. You need

to grow up. When you come to church and your pastor is preaching,

that is when you decide to sleep and change gears. You are a child.

You need to grow up. When you come to church and we are

praising God, you are just standing there looking at us like we are.

We are not even comedians, because comedians would have made you laugh like we

are. We're out of our minds. You're like child. You're a grown

us man. Excuse my French again. You are a grown up man,

but you are behaving like a child. You have the other one with that

look look at him. You are very grown. You should be x X.

Hey, you should behaving like a grown person, but you are bad,

behaving like a toddler. You want to play in the sun castle.

You want to play on the beach in the sun and roll around and put

it in your head. Hey, it is time for us to grow up.

Please tell your neighbor it is time to grow up. Amen. God

expects you to grow up. You cannot be a child all your life.

Some of you here. If you were in the in the in the cave

ages, in the old times, in the nineteenth whatever, sixteen whatever,

you would be married with children by now you are here. You are seventeen

years old. You are eighteen. You are still behaving like a child.

When it's time for you to come to church, you want to be called

called. You wake up, it's time to back and go to church every

Sunday. When will you grow up? Amen? When will you grow up?

You wait time, come to church very late. When will you grow

up? Please ask your neighbor when will you grow up? Let him tell

you an answer. I didn't tell you in something, or they're already to

change. Amen. So those Sampson was matured. He behaved like a child.

He was very childish. Because there's only a child who when married somebody

and leave them for two months without going to them. And when he had

gone to them, they had given their wife to somebody else. And it

is only a childhood when catch three hundred foxes and sets fire to their tails

and puts them into a farm that burn all these people. Ben let them

die, Ban ban bann. It's only a child who think like that.

Those Sampson was matured, he was mighty, he was strong, he behaved

like a child. Amen. And so don't be a child. As a

Christian, grow up in the things of God. Grow up in the things

of God. When it's time to praise God as a child of God,

not as a baby, open your mouth and thank God. Amen. When

it's time to glorify God, glorify God as an adult, someone who is

growing, who understandspiritual things. Amen. When it's time to fellowship, don't

just stand there like an island. Move about, because we are teaching you

a necessary skill in life that will help you. Amen. We ask a

girl in the first service, tell us one aspect of your life that you

think is duality that you need to change. She was like, Oh,

when I'm when I'm in school, I like to interact with people, but

when I come to church, I don't want to talk to anybody. I

don't want to talk to nobody. And I just go to one scripture For

her first joint after one. Verse one and five says, if you dwell

in light, as it is in light, you walk your fellowship with one

another. So when you come to church and you don't want to fellowship with

it, it means one thing that you are in darkness. So decide to

move from darkness into light, so that when you come to church your fellowship

with one another. Can I get an amen? Oh? Am I talking

to somebody? Amen? And so the next example of duality, which will

be example number six, is loyal but slanderous. Loyal but slanderous. First

Timothea, chapter three, verse eight, First Timothea, Chapter three of US

eight. First Timothea, Chapter three of US eight, And the Bible says

that the first Timothy three eight loyal but slanderous. It says, likewise,

deackness dickens. Likewise, dickens must be reverenced. Give us a difference,

give us a esv. Yes, deacons likewise must be dignified. You must

be dignified, not double tongued, not addicted to much wine, not greedy

for dishonest gain. And so in the place of deacons, puts your first

name there. If your name is quammi, quamming likewise must be dignified.

If your name is a course, a course likewise must be dignified, not

double tongued. Your tongue must not be like the snake's tongue. The only

animal that has two tongues, it's a snake. So you cannot show to

be loyal, But then you are a backstabber when no one is in sight.

The things you say and the things you do shows that you are very

disloyal as a child of God. Amen. It is only Satan who has

a double tongue. Amen, So please tell your neighbor because you are not

a snake, don't be double tongued. Who are you telling them? Tell

them for free? Because you are not a snake. Don't be double tongued.

Amen. The tongue that is in your mouth is only one, so

don't be double tongue. You can't come and tell somebody here something, and

then you go here and you go and twist it and see it another way,

and then you go here and come and twist it another way again.

Ay, Why are you a snake? Don't be like that. You cannot

be double tongued. Amen. So let your yes be yes, and let

your name be nay. Amen. And so there are people who claim to

be loyal, and yet they are slanderous and double tongued. They have two

tongues. One speaks good and the other speaks evil. The Bible describes the

duality of the tongue as being double tongued. And the only animal that has

two tongues is a snake. Amen. And so because we are children of

God, we are not sneaks. We are not snakes at all. And

so we will be loyal to the cause of the faith, will be loyal

to our friends, will be loyal to our brothers and sisters in the Lord.

Amen. And we will speak only good about people and not evil about

them. Amen. The next point on an example of duality is goodness and

badness, goodness and badness, and so a dual person exhibits both good,

goodness and badness. The Bible says in Josiah chapter six, verse four,

your goodness is as a morning cloud, and as early dual it comes and

goes away. And so as far as you are concerned, because you are

living a dual life. When we go to certain places, oh, this

person is a good person. This person is a good person. But when

we come to certain other places. There is no goodness in you. So

your goodness is like the due of the morning. It appears and disappears as

soon as it appears. Amen. So you cannot be like that. Amen.

And so tell your neighbor. You can't be both good and be bad

at the same time as a child of God. Amen. So, as

a child of God, you are expected only to be good and not bad.

So you cannot be bad and good at the same time. Let's look

at the final example of duality for us a man, which is very important.

It says a good start and a poor finish, a good start and

a poor finish. And so in Judges chapter thirteen, in the beginning of

koffee and what's his name? Where are you going? Amen? Let me

give you an advice for free when your pastor is preaching. Sit down,

you understand. Sit down because all these ones I can say, won't use

it again? And what will you do? The most important thing is for

you to hear the word of God and grow by it. Amen. All

these ones is, by the way, it is not the main thing.

If you want to do this one, go to TV three. This is

not next two. This is church. Amen. And so a good start,

yet a poor finish. So if you look at the life of Samson,

Sampson started well because Clay instructions were given by God that his hair should

not be shaved, he should not drink wine. He started very well.

He was very spiritual, but he ended very poorly. And when you go

forward to the chapter sixteen of Judges, you realize that Sampson ended up in

a very bad way. He died in the midst of his enemies. Because

he was living a dual life. He gave away his secrets and so they

were able to arrest him. They blinded him so you couldn't see to even

escape the end of his life. He died in the midst of his enemies.

Amen. And so as a child of God, you can't live a

dual life, because it is not in your interests to live a dual life.

It won't end well. Amen. So better is the end of a

thing than the beginning thereof there are some people when they go to university,

they are very bright. In fact, they were like one of the most

excellent people who left shs and went to university. But because of a dual

life, by the time they are about to graduate, even that fourth class

lowers if they don't get because of a dual life, so they finish school

and they can't even they can't, there's nothing meaningful to do with their lives.

Amen. Living a dual life is not in your own interests. So

God is interested in how your life ends. How your life starts is not

that important, but how it ends is very important. Amen. So many

of you have been baptized, Yeah, you receive the Holy Spirit. If

we go and play back the videos and look at the pictures, we see

you are having experiences. But many of you your life has changed. You've

gone back to doing the bad things you used to do again, Amen.

And you need to continue and be consistent so that God will show you his

great salvation. Amen. And so although Samson was anointed, he ended up

like a criminal. Amen. And he died before his time. And when

you read the Bible, you don't see Samson had children. He wasn't even

married again because he followed a prostitute called Delilah. That was a double life,

and his life ended because in the perfect will of God, it would

have been the will of God for Samson also to have children, like how

Abraham had Isaac how Isaac had Jacob and Esau. You understand how Jacob had

the twelve sons who now became the twelve tribes of Israel. It would have

been in the perfect will of God for Samson also to have that, Amen.

But because of a dual life, he cuts his life short. Amen.

And so I believe you're learning something this morning, Amen. And so

to just give you find out words for you to go home with. First

John chapter one, verse five to ten. First John, chapter one,

verse five to ten. First John, chapter one, verse five to ten.

First John one five to ten. Walk in light, and the Bible

says that this is the message we have heard from him, and proclaim to

you, Amen, I'll be forty years next next year. Amen. But

I see many of you couldn't imagine that I will be forty years because some

of you think I'm twenty five. And when you are coming in and I'm

standing there, you even greet yes, walk childie, who is this guy

too? Amen? But you see, because of the spirit of God in

me, I look younger than my age. Amen. And so when I

was your age, there were things that were taught to us. There were

things that our pastors told us that we took seriously. That is why today,

by the grace of God, we can also stand in front of you

and teach you some things. Do you understand? And so the right I

say that this is the message we have heard from Him, and we proclaim

it to you. So the very things we've heard that has helped us in

our life, I proclaim it to you too. But what you do with

it, that one is up to you. Amen. That God is a

light. God is a light, and in him there is no darkness at

all. God is light, and in him there is no darkness at all.

Next verse. For if we say we have fellowship with Him while we

walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. If we

say that we walk with God but we are still in darkness, then it

means we are liars and there is no truth in us. Thanks first,

But if we walk in light as He is in light, we have fellowship

with one another. And by having fellowship with one another, the blood of

Jesus cleanses us from all sins. Amen. And so this one is automatic

cleansing. You don't even need to confess it. By walking in light and

fellowshipping with the brethren, even the total driver that you insulted shabby. You

get automatic pardon because God cleanses you by the blood of Jesus. Amen.

And so if you want automatic forgiveness, then begin to walk in light.

Amen. Next verse, if we say we have no sin, we deceive

ourselves. Because many of us are guilty of duality. We deceive ourselves.

And the truth is not in us. Verse nine, verse nine. If

we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins

and to cleanse us from all on righteousness, from all on righteousness. And

so if we confess our sins to the Lord, he is faithful and just

to forgive all our sins and to cleanse us from all our sins. Amen.

So let's buy our heads briefly in this place, as by heads briefly

in this place. Amen. You know yourself better than anyone you've had this

message on duality. You know whether you are guilty of duality or not.

But if you are, there is a way out, and God is calling

us to take the way out so that we don't live a duel and a

double life. And so if you are here, you are struggling with several

sins, you're struggling with things for which you need to repent and to change

and to come to God. Just say a prayer to God, the Lord,

help me. I don't want to live a dual life anymore. Help

me to be useful to you. Help me to walk in light. Help

me to fellowship and light, just as you are ENLiGHT. Help me,

Lord, Holy Spirit, so that I don't live a dual life anymore.

In the mighty name of the Lord Jesus. If you are here, Jesus

Christ is not a lord over your life. I want to recommend Jesus to

you this morning, because Jesus is coming soon. The same Jesus who died,

the same Jesus was buried, the same Jesus who rose again on the

third day, the same Jesus who ascended on too heaven. That same Jesus

is coming again. And if you are not a child of God, if

Jesus is not lord over your life, then his coming will not benefit you

in any way. But if you want Jesus to be Lord over your life,

you want me to pray for you. In your heart. You're saying,

pastor, pray for me so that I will receive the Lord Jesus.

Please stand on your feet wherever you are. Just stand on your feet wherever

you are, and let's pray together that Christ Jesus will come and dwell in

your heart in the name of Jesus. Final call. You are here,

Jesus is not lord over your life. Please rise on your feet and let's

pray together that Christ will come and dwell in your heart. Amen. And

so we thank God that everyone here has received Christ. Amen. With your

right hand, lift and say, Lord Jesus today I thank you for your

word that has come. Please help me by the power of the Holy Spirit

to live right for you in jesus precious name. Amen. Or can someone

clap your hand and celebrate Jesus. Amen. Amen. So the MC should

start walking to me now. Amen. Let's let's have the final slide.

Amen, and take a few informations. Amen. Please tell your neighbor it

is time to walk in light. Or please tell them again it is time

to walk in light. Please tell your neighbor it is time to leave a

dual life. Say it is time to leave the dual life. Amen.

And finally, tell your neighbor for free it is time to be serious with

God. Please tell them one more time. It is time to be serious

with God a man, and as you have declared, may God help you

richly. May God help you so that you don't become someone who is walking

with a conquer and the disease of duality, So that you don't become a

victim of the outcome of duality. So that when we look at you will

see you on face value for who you truly are, So that there will

be no hypocrisy in you, that there will be no spirit of life in

you, that you'll be as a child of God, a proper Christian who

is called according to the will and purpose of God. So may God do

that for you and cause you to abound greatly in Jesus precious name. Someone

say, a man, where's our MC
