You're listening to a message to go from axt church.
-
We hope this message will light up your teath for today.
-
You know my sub title for ownership promoting is, you know,
-
moving from renders to heirs of the throne. Now we're
-
going innership bath. Take a thinking shouted romance showing through
-
to oh that take a true tone to rent, because
-
the word of God says, you know, as believers, as
-
sons and daughters of the most high King, you know
-
we inherit what the kingdom hasn't stop for us even
-
just take a t woman not god like she like
-
she shows hand yet that is if we choose not
-
to be a long term guest in the kingdom. Norman
-
Ruga lies she just by woman that take nature that
-
the whole. I have a question for us, even when
-
was the last time that you felt like an active
-
building in a house of God rather than a long
-
term guest. It's not a situated eat like they're a
-
bushaker twanty two thousands. They had the current hold now
-
thirty seconds to digest, sorry a of fifteen seconds. All right,
-
It's very easy for us, especially you know believers have
-
been church for some time. Sans it's a Johan your
-
house eaten to theas perumina. I have been a believer
-
for thirty years now, but they mentioned the juiciation with
-
to Sanshin and I can speak also from experience or
-
the DnaK that you told that she firished young. So
-
it's really easy to be in church, but to be
-
on a cruise control mode. Woman her wrong in a
-
she died That amazing, don't that's I'm helping a friend
-
to like take care of a car while she's away
-
finding your life. She had, And so I was driving
-
it this morning, and and to Neil, like to so
-
many and nearly as well had a like she she does. Yeah,
-
so I was enjoying the cruise control mode of the car,
-
don't because my car, that's not it's all in all
-
car no cruise control. So you can just set it
-
on a steady speed on the set speed, and then
-
on the highway because so many new highway right, they
-
just let your legs off and then just steer still.
-
So you just hang on to the wheel beyond like
-
she beyond, like she tied the yeoman like she suddenly
-
I felt so free driving house how thing, so I
-
can do like exercises. Clay that she is here a
-
center and the thorn, and this morning driving some money.
-
I'm so comfortable. That's only I'm like, I got distracted.
-
You know you tie teams so around Singler, then I
-
have to put my attention. By eight, I'm still driving. Okay.
-
The car is not four auto drive mode. No, like Shet,
-
that's her. I don't has last have that capability you take.
-
But my friend's car is not thatsla, but it's good
-
enough cruise control to enjoy. Some of us may be
-
on the croise control here today. No man in a
-

So I decided like, okay, three years I shall be

I'm like, I've been there, done that, and I want
-
to be non committal, so wation. And this place is
-
not for me for the defunt push it the defense.
-
So you notice it was just about all about I,
-
me and myself. The Unholy Trinity can take just found
-
that word the T. I didn't even ask God, what
-
do you think we as? I need a God? Yeah
-
place been here for three years? What should I do
-

Our curse control can look like you know, I follow

-

-
come once in a while when I can wake out
-
in the morning. Now see the like she heard the
-
full that's your single curse control could be. Okay, actually
-
just take the hands off, the steering legs off everything
-
and let me just evaluate and see how this Barcelona runs. Actually,
-
like you, what's what she was real life? She granted
-
take out my experience of forty years of you know,
-
being a believer check list, and I just checked one
-
by one natural the d yo. That's that she pat
-
trying to water. And as we continue to do that,
-
we without realizing, we slip from being owners of the kingdom,
-
heirs of the kingdom, into being a RenderMan street down
-
the doorman you were like treat woman's away. It's like
-
the whole the tad. Let's look at X chapter two,
-
verse forty four. Man like she cannot should the earth
-
downs yet? How the church began? Okayis manchai and it was?
-
I mean X church is planted to Moordel after the
-
Book of the Church, and the Book of she intertained
-
like she so if you guys are already there you
-
can say yes finally he sure, yes, okay, let's read
-
it together in one two and she now all who
-
believe were together and had all things in common, singerant
-
daughter it true fun? Who go So when Luke, you know,
-
doctor Luke was panning, panning this down. She didn't just
-
write just for the sake of writing. Sing The show says,
-
show in your So when she wrote, you know they
-
were together and all things he had, they had all
-
things in common, he wasn't just describing a warm social
-
gathering singering not it's true fun on the show. He
-
was describing a radical shift of identity. Just like she
-
s that the Greek word right for in common right,
-
the word common is coinos a fine one juices cos
-
it means the share the juice and young yo belonging
-
to all. Show you that's yeah, and help join the
-
eat it's yo and it comes actually from the road
-
word called coin on you the un one. So Malaysia
-
we love food time, And I said, okay I and
-
we always say Malaysia, Malaysians we only have one meal
-
a day when man eats eat hands with short breaks
-
in between, so we don't have three meals a day.
-
We just have three breaks in between and then we
-
continue that she eats, answers eating. You'll see sands. And
-
one of the things that we love is our coonia.
-
No man, younger, if you go for any functions, right
-
official functions, they always have desserts and our deserts is
-
always from no woman. And we're gonna these tongues. Tongue
-
she said, it's a Galdian that she gave you that.
-
If you don't know, do not really know what the
-
real coanonia is, you can ask any relationship will help
-
you know. Everyone puts it out the younger young she
-
will not make a nice what as all coanonia. It
-
actually means, you know, the fellowship to have joint participation
-
and shap burdon take a sho corinnia know how to
-
just twice you eat on time, very Malaysia of them. Uh,
-
you know we're fellowship over food. We enjoy h you know,
-
participating over food as well. We share food burtons together.
-
The tiny man it she finished, we share calories together.
-
From finished in Hebrew, okay, this work common means inherited
-
possession or estate like a sea ball lighter. And we
-
had a easy using so the d meaning right, it
-
is something that you don't just run for a weekend
-
to die down a sigar to more sure the defunct.
-
But it's a family inheritance okay, that needs to be protected,
-
needs to be built, and needs to be passed down
-
the tan like she paid that she didn't trunks and
-
get died. The body of christ Us believes the church. Woman,
-
it's it's a family's inheritance. Woman turned the teacher that
-
that we need to continue to protect sister, like to
-
continue to build together like she didn't, and to continue
-
to pass down she try to die and beyond. The
-
church is the kingdom of God? Why not God? And
-
today you know God is calling us back to a
-
very foundational mindset, like continuing the church, Neli, that you
-
come through every week. It's not a hotel the magazine.
-
It is our family home together woman. Yeah, first point,
-
the church is a community, not a crowd. Trinity the
-
one eaching the early church in X two. As you
-
can see here, right, it wasn't just a gathering for them,
-
it was a community. I think, uh, a journeyman that
-
each children des a searching. What's the difference between a
-
crowd and a community see a search in hio, take
-
it children out, much happen. The only common thing is
-
they start to see all these two words, but everything
-
else is not the same. You know, had just ch
-
then I been a cosier younger. Don't see a crowd
-
getthers around events has an inter A crowd getthers around
-
Happenings in a crowd is found in concerts. J hasn't
-
been it all a crowd? It all can be found
-
in you all movies, you know, with your premious of
-
your spider Man and the odercy. But when the crowd disperses,
-
no one owes anyone anything can hold. No one knows
-
what's going on with the person's life. Who is sitting
-
there seating number twelve B Yeah, run you take a
-
twelve pets away, you'll run her. That's a lead. But
-
a community gathers around a shared identity soon to pound.
-
When troubles hit, the community stays together down to the
-
corner and light that take a stoy has to eat.
-
They don't just pack their bag. It's like bye bye,
-
passar runs. You say to this on your own life.
-
Two ways China and take out thing by what that
-
a community. Don't do that, because our lives are all
-
now bound together. Take a searching mentos eatchy like she submittingly,
-
and we are bound by a common faith in thing.
-
We are bound by a common lord toavi and we
-
are bound together because of a common vision and common aim.
-
How you no man, yeah in the ton and because
-
you are bound together as one? No one here tree.
-
It is the church, like it's another person's responsibility that
-
she took a pang and punk oh, church is the
-
Josha came up the flowers, Sophie, I take around, Josh
-
can't trum needs your Oh the door is broken. It's ok.
-
The management of this place, we just uh, you know,
-
look into it. That's why I rented. That's right. Just
-
at when you pay a rent for your hotel room
-
a month, a month, blood it hand a ring gate
-
a night for a five six star hotel. Now you're
-
going one by quieting and like she do one ly
-
you expect to be treated well. He pan, she gaining
-
a fish and how the fool? No one and if
-
you are owner, nobody stand at the sidelines and just watch.
-
Now we're going your tour. And she took a punkin
-
X two forty four. You know, the verse says all
-
who believe were together there is the two sing singer.
-
And though true, the word together in great means to
-
literally be the same place for the same exact purpose.
-
Those that through the easy just with a tone that
-
to we're all in this together. It's a girl yes,
-
saying some money. Then they started in a high school
-
musical fans started breaking out the songs for show We're
-
all in this together. We are not just in the
-
same proximity and in the same physical proximity, just the
-
space sharing the same but the shot I got home,
-
he got Wait, we were all united with the same
-
vision and the same motif. You should that we are
-
not pure rents from pure Why because we are not
-
here Because like, okay, you know this morning, I give
-
them my ties and my offerings, so I expect a
-
service in return that she gave you. It's just fully,
-
I expect the econ to be working well now. And
-
you know, because I give my ties an offering like
-
the rent I give in a hotel, even a thing
-
she young and and it is not right. The management
-
which is it goes to Bunda has to fix it
-
for me. Nor that she did he needs to feed
-
me and not fit spiritual food she gave to the shoeing,
-
and I can just pack my back and go like
-
she stop out, all yeah, and owner carries the nat
-
which is the heritage ti ton even like you gets
-
handy when the owner sees that is a light. When
-
someone takes ownership, when they see it's a light, they're like, okay,
-
how can I be an answer to this tourn Like
-
she cannot think that she that she told how they
-
step Am I doing that? She thinks, like I don't
-
notice in the market place, like hey, you know, no
-
one here has bring the salt and light to the community.
-
So itsly mal shoes and her gang. I'm stepping up
-
to it. Well like she like she seems to like
-
know that you know I'm sharing? Do they not? Just uh,
-
you know, for us to contribute just to church being
-
taking ownership of the church, but to take ownership where
-
God has placed us our dominion like she like type
-
woman sens your woman, because you are called to be
-
disciples of Christ. No manshipation who hardament who Romans Chapter twelve,
-
verse four to five. Roman shows it says, if you're there,
-
you can say yes, and we can read it together.
-
Romans for as one one do you treat for as
-
one body? We have many members, and the members do
-
not all have the same function. So we, though many,
-
are one body in Christ and individually members of one another.
-
And she don't wander general woman eager to shun your house?
-
Yeah yeah, eat young and young Shoeman or Entiretyanasian? Who
-
is young? Lord roots? See what the apostle pause here,
-
Paul says, here members of one another blon be a
-
showdown of who is young and and the Greek word
-
it means to reciprocate, to mutually depend on one another.
-
Who's young? Eatu in the beats like she's young shoh.
-
Then to move from a con a congregation of consumers
-
to a family of ownership like she'd just like she uh,
-
to move from a family of of just consumers, a
-
congregation of communists to a family of her just a
-
woman is she beats it like she's watching her like that.
-
You're gonna go bits with gay you? That's take a
-
drunk had point to honors, not rentous, a home, not
-
a hotel the other damn. Just a woman push it.
-
A woman's a student push the efficients for sixteen. It
-
was you sholy, sit down little all right, says here
-
from whom the whole body joined and held together by
-
every joint with which it is equipped. When each part
-
is working properly, makes the body grow so that it
-
builds itself up in love. Honey and Lord the ship
-
bye by the girl and skirts out gerty the gonna
-
beats young Jn't I like to bring our attention to
-
when each part is working properly. When I see round
-
that it's a girty child. The word working in Greek
-
it is actually it actually means energy and active operation.
-
Had a institution, and the word part means as signed
-
portion and essential share rather than gerty. Thelwana had an institution.
-
Show the nieven they fun pay the booth and her
-
booker altitude. So when a generation or a group decides
-
to stop the energy out together, the rest of the
-
body begins to limp turn down. You know, she harman
-
the take t turn you the poorness ty to young.
-
Active engagement keeps the whole body healthy, even non you
-
like You's that she's hand you around shanty both physically
-
and spiritually, as all tell Amanda senty somehow shooing young
-
you know, if you want to have a good cardio,
-
you have to work upney eating and like she just, uh, gentleman,
-
you don't, Yes, you have to move eating like you don't.
-
She like likewise the body of Christ and the kingdom
-
as well, that that need is to be continuous active
-
engagement to this man eating like she t that, like
-
you don't have we I've asked the same thing as well.
-
And somebody I asked, here, so have we unpacked our
-
backs now? And that gun key single dark kigl twenty
-
one years ago, indiencient, I decided to impack my bags
-
in xing how like she shed ki sing lead and
-
I told you because I was elusive. I met up
-
with a friend National Juice, National Chat, and she asked me, so,
-
how how is X going for you? Now? Do you want?
-
Do you want words? An extra way? Young? And I
-
gave all the excuses I can find, how eat the
-
call and all the lives that I can tell, Oh yeah, sure,
-
just to kind of say, like, ex is not so good,
-
So that's why I'm not so regular. She like, that's
-
why I was in avoidance land. You know, I just
-
go through service on time, and you know, I just
-
want to go away part of everything else. Your moment
-
eats you like she beat me, like she holds a trinity.
-
That's you asked me a really important question, how do
-
you make a fag hang? But before the question she
-
actually say really something really strong, but I knew it
-
was from the lot, not how do you hold show
-
like a fage hang? Eat? You stop being so prideful
-
to say that this church is not for you. It's
-
a very strong statement. You can you can take a
-
bit more because anywhere that is the body of Christ
-
should be for us like me, not roogle of francis
-
just a gay woman the man. And the next day
-
she's like, I know you're telling lies and all the
-
excuses that you give. How do you go show? And
-
because she knows Sandra, not personally, but their ministry now
-
even range and not trying to push it, just a
-
curl and arrange. She had to take a ship. They
-
already go faith and how they really really are into discipling.
-
The next general Muhammad face and face on the like
-
she yo, yo, do you patience like face on your Nightsine?
-
She asked me, are you ready to unpack your back?
-
Do you want you by me? The scene is you're
-
dark if it's tree is just unpacked and belongs like
-
you didn't by me the scene it is you're dark,
-
high that you do need the great shoe. We will
-
only unpacked our bags when it's our own home, right,
-
We don't unpack our backs in hotels. She just a
-
dark don't see the show, Halma, bring out your own
-
you know, favorite photose frames. You bring your vast along
-
as you travel to Europe and put it in the
-
middle of the hotel room. She also like she just
-
really tiny found towards it and found anally you're only
-
unpacked if that's belonging gra shoe like she just sing
-
it just a dark Hi, don't you don't know? And
-
like what the way so you unpacked in all visible
-
ways is that there's more intentional investment of your treasure,
-
time and your talent. No around in bun to the
-
you need tollan in the thing in your university that
-
God has place to add, in your workplace that God
-
has place to add. Have you unpacked that? Her bunny
-
so funk said, uh many like she told this, yeah,
-
have you seen and said this is home for me?
-
I belong here. I'm going to invest everything that I
-
have into this land short like she told that the
-
defunct Jeremiah twenty nine, verse five to seven, yelling me
-
sure your sown oh her. God used Jeremiah to speak
-
to the exiles in Bablon. She got funderment says, your
-
build houses and live in them, plant gardens and their produced.
-
Seek the welfare of the city where I sent you
-
into exile, and pray to the Lord on his behalf
-
that she don't die city, don't short handed? What's your way? Nachiping?
-
And when not turned yoh ima and imn straight out
-
and wow. Some of you might feel like what place
-
is this new? I felt like God has sent God
-
has sent you to an exile need patient, little fundler
-
and your campus brochure, you know next to Indian University
-
it is too beautiful. You know Petro towers then indeed
-
the high you can't hire. You came Where's and I
-
got yeah, yeah, I just saying the extreme. But yes,
-
those days a lot of campus brosures like to put
-
the patrons in towers. But it's actually not next to campus.
-
It's like this, So you can now put on the
-
hip because the tight footing you'll be like what is
-
this God forsaken place. You take a patient, you want
-
the thief, thief and then someone God. You want me
-
to plant gardens, seek the welfare of the city high
-
and you're not highlights waiting to turn choking and pray
-
for the city that God will continue to bless the city.
-
And like she run like she teach you the truth
-
for the too d to bless the colice, which is
-
like irritate you upside now highland. She truth just frown
-
and trying to use very kind to discard with you.
-
But you get what I mean right that you're adding,
-
I mean that would eat it, pray, blessed in the
-
water the lamb planned like she had eat of the produced.
-
That why you got the root whatever. For the word
-
welfare is actually Sharlom king, and I had a sible
-
like Shalom. Charlom means you know, flourishing, wholeness and peace
-
introduces singtion mountion ones God had to tell them, although
-
you are an exile in the land, do not just
-
sit on the sidelines, punk, build, plant, pray, and take
-
ownership of the place that brought you to like she,
-
like she for different ones of your many scripture represented
-
in your like Lisa. Actually sometimes some some may not
-
have all the you know you full thanks anymore. You know, man,
-
you're sharing anything mal down hold singtion the thing leader.
-
But we still appreciate you know, your contribution, you know
-
to this body because you know woman face on face
-
something she or like she wait means for food. You know,
-
your years of wisdom, your spiritual stamina, you know, continue
-
to pass on to the next generation in these areas
-
as well. She should the banish or young like she's
-
trying to do. Sometimes you think like okay, you know,
-
let's you know serving. You think, okay, I have to
-
carry all the speakers and set up everything. You know, uh,
-
you know, do prayer a maratha for eight hours with
-
the young people and then male thingly that she partners
-
like you, that she bags you know doesn't have to
-
necessarily be that, but you will continue to ask God
-
what the areas that I can also sow? Uh, even
-
as I belong here. But think on the email, okay,
-
like she shechos that she wouldn't how Melton, You're like,
-
she fool ship and why we are sharing this today?
-
You know, it's it's hard, the share is It's really
-
a hard thing. To talk about, but we are sharing
-
it because the third point, ownership must be pronoted and
-
not assume she's around face under just number around like
-
you first. Taking ownership doesn't just happen automatically for us
-
like she beach don't see because as human beings, we
-
are all creatures of comfort room mend the defunc. We
-
like to do things on our on our own and
-
not to be bothered without if we are not if
-
it's if things are not brought into an our awareness,
-
any push you can around me. So taking ownership needs
-
to be cultivated and also invited. Take a beachter and
-
she like she pay young twenty one years ago. If
-
I think I didn't have that hangout with my friend
-
Indians male life, she build her life, she her child
-
or what you know, it's like taking a step back
-
from me and for her to ask me. You should
-
see what she said and asked me her life. She
-
wouldn't water whole li she I wouldn't have that mindset
-
shif and identity. She I'm being svey I've been sometimes.
-
She stepped back because nobody invites you know, andy human
-
you we out like she we're inviting you today. She
-
was thinking you're like, she's youting me to be call
-
heirs of the kingdom, like she eating, does she go
-
to the whole suit And you know, but sometimes because
-
you are also adults, you know, we don't have to
-
wait to be asked. Women yeering like she wouting, woman
-
speaking from experience that they lead. Because in X two
-
twenty four again you know, I was just gonna bring
-
us to that. Ownership was actually promoted, say twenty four,
-
I'm sorry forty four x two forty four the extra

-
sincerity of heart. They just trying the sea and seeing
-
the scene like she young fans. Not because it's like, okay,
-
Sunday after naty a door and it's our routine, let's
-
just eat together. But short the things you tube you're missing,
-
So it's not just let's just do this, but with
-
gladness and secty of heart. That's what the Bible says't
-
think a showdown in wait Yo Shaman Nongola. She turns
-
and fact and the next to every believer was also
-
empowered to carry that mission to showdown Bay that she
-
dies ship me because everyone had a shad steak of it.
-
Even take a beachy the girl and why everyone needs
-
to have a shad steak. Let's look at Exoda, look
-
at Exodus chapter eighteen. I'm like she can take a
-
true verse seventeen to eighteen. Ship I have the first
-
that okay, so they say what you are doing is
-
not good. You and the people with you, and the
-
people with you will surely wear yourselves out for the thing.
-
It's too heavy for you. You're not able to do
-
it alone. The more see the uf not you show
-
the need to throw then herr seeing Peter pee pee
-

-
Moses's father in law's advice. Yet her take trink out
-
router you Yet, yeahs take more the UFO because Moses
-
was just doing everything on his own. May the more
-
situation judging every case and solving every dispute on his own.
-
May you can't in Malaysia, is said one leg kickhougno high.
-
But the word here in his rule for where are
-
it means to actually not just wear out, you know,
-
she means to read with her, to decay and fait
-
like a leaf silipepae. That's the sea ball, like one
-
cool wait shry by shum and a few people here
-
and a few leaders just does everything on and that's
-
like eighty twenty percent, you know, doing everything for the
-
eighty percent just ah basi and like you throw one
-
don't now while the eighty process is on the sidelines.
-
Expectators they're like, she can't dine now. You know our
-
serving team here, our leaders, they are human beings. They
-
can read of exhaustion, no mandaline. She'll have a man
-
should have ten do it haman Haman suka e p.
-
Baker lies not just that, but expectators, we can also
-
with her from the lack of purpose, use ye ton
-
puganzo like you do it in the cool way, maggets
-
hand you guys ham you shi mean that way, don't.
-
But when all of us carry the same Lord of
-
the king them together mager and like baitund the not
-
just serving in church on Sunday, but the kingdom, you know,
-
meaning souls and and and making an impairted community all toogether.
-
Just honey, me go eating we just everyone in the
-
body does it shares who wins down the termation you
-
do straight we win. Woman eating that you are no
-
longer with her like your cool wait so that the
-
faithful fueld were not with her, but the spectators were
-
not with her, as well as so muching that TC food, Mohammad,
-
that your cool weight that mentioned cool point four. Every
-
partner not just a member this sugar, we would like
-
to move from membership to partnership and whan to unbing
-
and and these days and membership is very very common.
-
Traditionally it's just like GM or in a golf club
-
country club membership, it's you know, but these days if
-
you go to any restaurants, a lot of apps, anything
-
that you consume from the retail as a consumer. There's
-
some membership involved, and it's so we are so used
-
to be consumers that sometimes that seeps into church yourself.
-
I pay so I expect to get something in written,
-
no waiting full show me eating about. I pay it
-
so that I expect the message to go to be
-
updated the most updates, quick up this as possible a message,
-
No waiting for the message to go. Eating our things.
-
Don't know if the facilities, it's not up to what
-
it's like. You know, I just cancer my membership to
-
the defund No food, child, no food, I said, just tell,
-
just talk. That scripture doesn't use the word member that
-
way because East because you might be saying, like, but
-
the God says all members and one body. In the Bible,
-
the word member is actually used as a part of
-
an organ uh used to refer to an organ in
-
the body eating just a honey, like just so if
-
that member of the body, the air or the nose,
-
decides not to functions on its own ship, be like
-
she had if a few perhaps in a half of
-
us fifty percent hours today, our nose just decides not
-
to be part of this that starts running around during service.
-
Then sad mentally, the ran normal beats, like she thought,
-
we have a lot of noses running arounds, and that's
-
gonna be not so nice to look at. So and
-
and if the hand stops decides to stop working, you
-
can be crippled, showed the teto the just shout like
-
Philippians one five Philippies eating. Paul wrote to the believers
-
a single man sure, and when he was writing, he
-
was thanking God as well. Is that like she sellsi?
-
So he thank God for their fellowship in n I
-
V is partnership in the Gospel from the first day
-
until now image etant eating routing one ful. So the
-
Greek word for partnership, Sorry, the word partnership is actually biblical.
-
They take the England the funny however a suation sorry,
-
because in Greek partnership is also yeah right yeah, and
-
means to come in fellowship. You know, Paul really thank
-
the church for their fellowship, their joint participation and the
-
shad burden together. Even done like it. He did not
-
see the believers as just in a passive supporters tell
-
me like particiest mananti like like she paid you saw
-
them as co laborers and equal partners, taking responsibility for
-
the gospel Bahama can't make sure you're gonna go it
