Revival For Our Hearts | Elder Wong Kien Yiak

You're listening to a message to go from acts church.

We hope this message will light up your tea.

First Samwichapter sixteen from verse six than to verse seven.

So it was when they came and he looked at

Aliab he is Prophet Samuel look at Aliab and said,

surely the Lord has anointed. Surely the loss anointed is

here before him. Quite amazing that, you know, the profet severa,

just look at alienp We just say that you are

the right guy. Well, I think I think that's the

reason why sometimes the way we raised leaders is about

the sables as well. We look at it, but you're

the right man, Serf the Lord, you're the right ladies

serve the Lord. Scary though, but you know, but this

is what the Lord has to say about Prophet Samuel's direction.

The Lord said to Samuel, do not look at disappearance

or physical stature. Those of us who think that we

don't for do this category. Say a man praise a

lort hallelu ye. I was sharing at one service and

just say, look, I think I'm so glad the Lord

said it, because I will compete with people with hair.

Sometimes with the hair does make you look a bit

different than friends. We all hair, it does make your

face look a bit more angry and.

Stuff like that. Uh, physical statue and.

Stuff like that, you know, and there's a certain look

you know when it comes to leaders. I'm not sure

whether you know or not. Uh, some church would have

the leaders in the particular shape. Yeah shape, seriously. One

point time there was that even be a leader in

the church, you have to start looking slimmer. Your T

shirt has been a bit more tighter. Right, there's the image,

you know, the image of youth passed these days, skinny jeans,

type jeans, skinny jeans, leggings and.

Stuff like that.

Then a type T shirt, the T shirt so tight

you can't even put a pat inside the sleeves, all right,

and a nice coffee cup right shows that you are

good in tune, in fashion, you've passed or youth leader.

Help me if you know that God doesn't look sees

all this, all right. He does not see the outward stature, praiser, hallelujah.

If not I fail, I will not get sheltered. He

doesn't see whether or not you could or you could not.

He looks straight into the matter. For the Lord doesn't

see what man sees. The Lord doesn't see what man sees.

I think many times, even back in the days of

proper semi right, there is a lot of expectation of

how people behave and how people look. How people behave

and how people look. There's a love of expectation. Could

you imagine the pressure pressure right that everyone goes through

back in those days, even right now, the pressure to perform,

pressure to look good, pressure to the word is be

in a particular shape or behavior so that you won't

get caught upon, So that you don't get caught or

the word is that people will not here you fee

for lunch? And you know sometimes that passes even call you,

are you free for lunch?

First thing? What they do wrong?

Oh yeah whoa Josephin said, yeah, yeah, I could repent,

all right. I mean it's it's it's it's scary, ever scary.

But could imagine right now you say, hey, you free

for lunch? You're not first thing? Hey you now call

me here for lunch? Or sudden you came here for lunch?

What do I do wrong? Right?

What I'm not? What I do wrong?

More like this says something Lord, you want you're speaking

to me I'm not hearing it and stuff like that.

But the Bible here says the Lord does not see

the man sees, for man sees the outward appearance. We

can take comfort, but the Lord looks at her. Come on,

the lot looks at her. So that's why Revivs starts

first at our hearts more than anything else, more than

buying a new Bible, downloading a new air, more than

rearranging our schedule.

And look at our hearts first.

So important for you and me to realize today, friends,

our heart plays a big part in our Christian faith.

Our heart plays a big part in our Christian faith.

You can be highly motivated because of different reason. All

you could be demotivated because of different reason, because how

our heart sea stinks. I was sharing with the XPG style.

You know our heart. Sometimes the word the Bible is

the word uh, deceitful and wicked. Right now, let's look

at the world wicked for a moment. Right Generally, I

think all of us in this room says that we

are not wicked. Genuinely, I say, we don't think that

we are wicked. But the Bible is official wicked is

very different for how we define things. He said to

the server with the one talent who hit the talent

in the ground. Right. The words that Jesus used was

you wicked and lazy. Ooh, Now the servant did not steal,

did not murder, because that's how we talk wicked as

a murder, stealing, stabbing people's tired, cutting into lane where

you're supposed to put signal first.

Right, wicked people, you know what I mean, Right.

Wicked people supposed to give us seat for other people,

but refuse to. On the lr T, I'm not referring

to anyone here. You're by looks of your your's r T.

Yeah it's the chick. Okay, but you know you but

you don't understand I'm trying to say, right, but you

wicked and you see that I'm not. I'm alright, I'm

a just go and stuff that. But the Bible here

says that the the severn that received one healent, one

talent that hit the ground, the Master say to the seven,

you wicked and lazy, which means to say that how

the Bible interpret wickedness is not just bad or people

that murder and steal, but it's the same breath on

the same breath. Also people who are supposed to do

things for God but did not do so, to do

things that the Lord asked you to do but did

not do. The servant was supposed to take the one

talent and multiply the talent correctly, not like the other

two servants. The five got another five more, the two

another two more.

The one. What he did he hid it in the ground.

His idea was, God, I know you, And how many

Christures have seen this statement before? God? You understand, You

understand my expression of Christian faith. God, you understand that

I couldn't frustrated one days. I just passed one meal out

of twenty one days. It may we use the what

you understand a lot in our Christian faith trying to

justify our behavior or actions, and a lot sometimes flip

it around and remind us and share to us and

speak to us.

But do you understand my heart? Do you understand me?

You know? Because it's very easy to use the word

to justify God. You understand ma? Right?

So the lot looks at the heart.

Next, aliens exceeter qualities and strength come on exeter quality

his strength, position, physical attractiveness cannot subsistute for internal inner integrity.

There's nothing great outside of Iliop's life.

Friends, when Professor will look at him, first thing, Professor

mel say, you are the next king. Could you imagine

right now, right praying between someone pray.

For you and just wish for you. You are the next.

Person right now Iliop friends, I want to let you

know what because of his upbring, I don't think you

reject the position. You know, like some of us here, Hey,

you are the next for me? Me? Oh, you're the

next ah, just plan for to take over me because

I'm going to plant somewhere else.

Passive looks like.

You pray over you say the Lord put my mind

last night that your name came out and you're going

to take over the just by coordinator. I don't know

how many verses say thank you Jesus been praying for it.

I've been. I've been thinking about it. I think majority

of us if it isn't true that I don't think

it's me. I think I was the wrong person. There's

so many other Josiehs here. I'm not cannot be I

cannot be all the only one Josiah here and stuff

like that. And you and I friends put a lot

of work on excellner qualities, church attendance. Come on, I'm

going deeper right now. We come to church every week,

old expression, come to church, you come, come for prayer service,

church homes, but there's no substantive for your own responsibility

becomes to your own faith. Many times you equate fathies.

If I'm regular to church, my faith is okay. Month,

If I'm regular to church, my faith is all right

because at least I attend church. If I attend church class,

prayer service, my faith is definitely okay. One because who

wants to come for prayers is right on. I mean,

let's be honest here. When you call for a relationship seminar,

you get more. When you call for financial seminar, you

get more. When you call for a mission seminar, maybe

a bit lesser. Call for a prayer seminar, very very

much less. You call for a Bible study on a

weekday Wednesday. You know, we have a Bible study on

a weekday Wednesday, rights, Steve, when you're not doing your

job here, look at me and blank, there's a there's

we have a Bible study Wednesday on Zuoman friends. Right.

If you go to our website click resources there's an

education tap there, right, Bible classes all. Do you know

our lowest lowest attendance one one time was three people.

Three people.

Now, I'm not knocking anybody down, understand always got different schedule, friends,

But I just want to review to you and show you. Friends,

just because that we accept the Christ, we think immediately

we know how to pray. Come on, just because we

accept the Christ, we think we know the worship, how

to give, how to serve the Lord, and how to

read the Bible. I was telling someone the other day that,

you know, the Bible is very interesting, right, there's only

one book, one, one physical book, one fo book, right,

and the sub preacher they say that I read them

this same book every year, one and one go. Can

imagine next twenty years of your life you read the

Bible again.

How many of us see are looking forward for that routine?

Maybe we are read to once at least once, right

for example, and you go like all I read to

ones praise the lot. I will just say, would you

do it again? Because isn't it true?

Friends?

It's so challenging to the word is have the routine,

have the routina, but yet at the same time, at

the same time, like alien external, physical attractiveness, everything at

the same time, his internal integrity was called the question.

It's like these are friends. It's like the first time

you started cooking friends. First time you started the cooking.

You got so many recipes you want to try. You're excited.

You bought all the gears, right, you bought all the stuff.

But after cooking for four days in a row, isn't

it true? Just give me a sandwich, two slices of

bread and peanut.

But that that's.

It because it became a routine after all, it's no

longer an excitement. No longer you're looking to sue your meat.

I was selling XPG just now. I went to a

charcoal manufacturer, chaco manufacturer, all the way in Clank. I

searched them up. I went because I was looking for

a particular with chaco. I went. I went to look

for them. He said, did you know why the taste

the same? But I say why because they're using the

wrong chacko. You're using the rum chaco for all the

same meat. That's why it tastes the same. He said

that this chaco has a higher bunning point, this charcoal

has a lower bunning point this, chacko. When you drip it,

it doesn't create so much smoke that chucko, Chris a

lot of smoke, so different, different Chaco. Right, we are

looking for excitement, friends, Come on, we are looking for

excitement after a while, how to grow our faith rather

than accepting the responsibility that you have to cool and

survive it to eat because after a while it becames

such a routine you go like, huh this again? Now,

So where I got this from is during the youth

turn the fast? Right. I want to let you know, friends,

seven to seven fast is the best and the easiest

fast seven am to seven pm because after seven pm

you're not restricted.

You can go anywhere to eat.

But if we happen to do it Daniel fast and

you go to work, you know there's only those limited

places where you can eat. Daniel. First, you understand something,

you fast understand cry not unless you're at home anyway.

So my wife decided to do that.

Neil. First, I look at her. I just asked her question, there,

what are you gonna eat in submit? What would you

eat in submit? To qualify your Denil? First, she said

I can't eat here here here? I said, yeah, day

one day two twenty one days are friends twenty one

days of the Neil fast okay out of twenty one days,

four days a.

Week, she'll be at work. I said, what are you

going to eat after that?

Uh uh uh I, I said, there, I tell you

what I'll for you. That's why Marketer, so being a

good husband, have to help that come on. At least

at least have to help correct now those you ever marry.

At least my show, my show interest must help that.

My show that you have the word is try to help,

try to help. Very important.

Okay.

So anyway, so I have to wake up earlier, wake

up earlier to cookma. So I do my credit about

five to three in the morning. So I push it

for the tea. Wow normal lah? Anyway, So I pushed

my credit to fall the t something five o'clock wake

out for the dup treat the tea anyway, so I did.

I pushed for the d c up at five uh fifteen.

I start start preparing all at the seven am in

the morning. First day, I tell you that friends, I

had everything soup together with thoubtful on the site there

or fright mushroom together with bum butter and stuff like that, right,

and mix green rice so that my wife could be happy.

And shall everybody look my husband did this for me,

right and all the other color oh sooner, nice, so

nice that right day two friends, Day two did the same.

They treated the same, after all, friends, my fishes stuck

up with mushroom thoubtful and Reggie, I can't get it there.

There's only a few variations you understood, so real? Could

you understand? How many variation can you do? You fight

your reggie, you steam your reggie? What else you bake

your reggie? That's the mouth veriation. You put this sauce,

that sauce. That's only so many very she can do?

After what happened after that? You have to repeat? And

how many of verse? Yeah? I so I excited to

repeat the same recipe that you just had three days ago,

just like the Bible, after all, friends, afterward, aliap, I'm

not sure from the Bible, Alien friends, Alien came to

a place where by his faith was not growing. MM

tell me mean right now to the next scripture, first seven,

Chapter seventeen, first seven day was twenty three? Yeah, verse

twenty three. We're going to read that verse. Tradity tree

first seven, it was twenty three. Now all the men

of Visiel when they saw Goliath, saw Goliath, they fled

from him and were gratefully afraid. Who are the men

of Vizil? The people who were dressed for war, who

was ready for war? Right saw Godliath? And they were afraid.

And the metal Vizel said, have you seen this man

who came up? Sure he will come up to defy Israel.

And it shall be that the man who kills him,

the king will enriched with great riches and will give

him his daughter and give his father's house exemption from

texting Israel. Here's got live friends and the army just

say this, whoever takes down good life, you have external benefits.

So I will give his daughter to you.

On top of that, your father's household exempted from text friends.

Tex season is here. You're supposed to find your texting

really right?

Right?

You know? Exemption for text hower You do need to

keep all the receipts anymore? Think about it? Do you

know with the whole evoicing thing, keeping the receive for

several years and stuff that you cant He made you

to have to keep receipts anymore for the entire life

anymore to find your texes. There's something I don't mind.

It's so mad fun to keep the especially if you

run your own business, right, you have to keep care

of depreciation.

So also what depreciation? Just google it all right?

But you keep your document for seven years? Right, We've

still got drawers and stuff that those several years. Something

we want we actra Kevin, we'll keep for ten years.

Don't have to follow your text anymore, you lou youah

praise the Lord?

Right?

Help me do these friends?

Even with the crowd of excenal motivation, good life is

still good life. And somebody say it's not worth it.

We can tell you that if you follow Jesus, the

Bible says he won't give you a life and life

more but neally, okay, I'm not interested. I'm sure alive.

Those are being Christian for some time. I'm still here.

I'm still alive. You pray for a blessing, I'm still blessed.

You know I got my job, city job. Nope, and

stuff like that. That's what what's remind us again, Today's friends,

no matter what exceller motivation, friends, no matter excellal motivation.

Sometimes when fear grips your heart.

Friends, when fear grips your heart, no matter what the

motivation would be, you want in one one to do it.

When you see an impossible task, no matter what the

results and result would be, you don't even feel like

doing it just right now some of us here today, right,

fear someone can be very real. Right, you know the

benefit of medical checkup. You always hear, no, we heard

about amazing benefit of Medica checkout. But majority of us

here don't want to attempt to do a medical checkup

because we are free white reveals.

Really, we are free white reveals.

So recently, recently a bunch of us full time and

church partners went for medical checkup. Okay, so region hospital

has something for believers and just stuff.

Like just check the liver.

So what you know? Right anyway, So a girl of

them when when for the medical check out, A group

of them when for the medical checkup. Some results fantastic,

perfect liver and everything. However, I shall not name names.

Otherwise you say I'm talking about the person, so I.

Shall not name it.

Okay, let you know, Okay, I'm trying not to name

names or put the genders so that you are that

the vipers, so that the person person came back. I'm trying, okay,

I tried the extra comaga I feel or so all

a sudden, the gender came out out there. I know

who you're talking about. Anyway, So the person then came back,

try came back beat heart. The person was fit, healthy, strong,

You know, why sleep down a lot, slim?

You'll be slimming now it's healthy.

Could you imagine just like people coming to church, just

because you come to church, you are spiritually okay, healthy,

last weight, cut down on sugar, yourself solved drinks now

and then Coca Cola was his beverage of choice.

I say, there, see.

So hard, I'm sorry, okay, the person right beverage of

choice was Coca cola and soft drinks like that.

All right, very hard to resist you.

And I know once you like a certain barage, it's

very hard to change, right, if that's your habit for

the longest time, If our habit to come to church,

just coming to church for the longest time, and as

they say, he just do more, you say, I'm okay,

just coming to church. So anyway, the result came out

first not very good, not very good, not very good,

just like God life. The motivation is their first you

do all these friends, the king promise you certain tacks.

But why are people taking up the offer. You and

I know that we're supposed to cut down certain tacks.

Why did we take up the offer because it's deeper

than their friends. Come on, you and I know reading

the Bible it's good, no preature. We'll just say reading

the Bible is better on no preature, will just say

reading the don't read the Bible. One guy sitting from

the elder. I don't understy Bible because something point. Be honest,

I don't understand the Bible.

I say this all right. I also sometimes real so

I don't understand.

I have to read a few times, maybe ten times,

with twenty times, only understand different versions.

So because I don't.

Understand the Bible, therefore I'd rather hear sermon. Come on

here sermon, then read the Bible. I say, why do

you do that? Because the creature can explain better. I say, brother, paid,

there's a very good point. It's a bad foundation because

the creature will just interpret Accountry's understanding may not be

the fullness of what the scripture have to say. And

sometimes sometimes if you're not careful with tak, takes our

context because if you just focus on that one scripture

not knowing what the whole passage or the whole chapter

is about.

You know what I'm saying.

And because of their friends, we could be like the

Army of Issue. We know what's good, but we don't

do it. Come on and we can live with the

life in our life. It's O killer, go life, Unima.

After he's he's there, Come on, he's there shouting screaming

at us.

Right leaving me alone.

I just have to RecA every morning, face him that

I just live within my own compound.

However, you know that God doesn't just want us to live.

An own compound. Right, God, life is there. Come on,

there will be go life in your life. Sometimes God,

life doesn't come in the physical body. It can be

called local council. If I ever been to a local

council before, you understand that it's like amazed inside there.

So I won't share my experience with you. So I

went to this place called Madrill Langhan, follow langhand all

the way in Bunting from Summit to bun Things about

fifty minutes to fifty five minutes drive. So one day

I went there. I treat the tea. Okay, they close

for the tea a day. Treat the t is a

good time. Less of people of my right not we

think like that. That. So I went there. But that

it came to my turn three forty five. Look through

my submission. Look to my submission for legacy. Look at

my submission. Sir, you have to refuel the form again.

I said, not a problem, Okay, I understand, Okay, I'm

here to fight anything. Just tell me what I need

to do. We feel the form again. I say, great,

I want to buy the form right now. Sir, you

cannot buy the form. I say, why You're still open right?

Yeah?

But counter byron that the payment counter is close ready,

I said, what do you close? Half an hour later,

I say, please sell me the form right now, sir, cannot.

You must go down there to make a payment, show

me the recess out there, can release the form to you.

Then I have to ask you mean I have to

go back another fifteen minutes tomorrow, drive for another fifty's

to buy your form, to go back to my office,

another fifty minutes to get people to sign, to come

back to your place another fifty minutes to submit again. Yes, sir,

I want you to. At the one point in time,

my friends, all Christianity just left my body, just left

my body the very the very moment, right, vengeance was

on my mind right and the start I went like,

I went like, I.

Just stuff like the friends.

You understand, okay, I'm like I felt like I felt

like scanning my the form again on my own right,

and you know you're a sad I get the form again.

I just do it every day on my own friends.

I was so angry.

I was five minutes late to me four old three.

And she tells me, if you up the form again,

count to the top at four o'clock. So I remember

that day, driving back the next day, driving there, buy

the farm, drive back to get the get it signed,

drive back there to submit, drive back and drive. I

think I did that four times. I can go to

black Girl really actually for lunch. So first, you and

I know friends, You and I know you, and I

know that reading the Bible school, but we don't do it.

So this is the situation and the condition of the

heart of Israel. Friends. They know there's a good live

this also to take down but they don't take down.

And know what happened when you don't take down first?

You start looking internally? One, why do you take it down?

You say so much? You always see you.

Can fight, you fire.

We can come to a place after a while. We

look look around us. You know what muscle borrowing, must

even do something about it. Or there's so many empty chairs,

for example spat xped Okay, so these xp your efforts.

I think they have. They can sider abut two hundred

and forty plus paper and only about sixty plus people came.

So you know how empty this upstairs?

And I said, look sometimes you look around us, look

around us and look at worship, look at the order

of service square. You know what, if only we changed

the order bit, then people come. If only we chase

the songs liketion, people will come. Maybe maybe if you

start dyeing your head blonde colored people will come. To

attract different crowd to show that you're younger, maybe you're

preaching show more illustration. Don't show all what's on you

on your sides. It can become like that, friends. It

has happened before in churches whereby a tire change, I

say earlier on that's why, after all you've passed out,

have a similar look skinty jeans, tight T shirt, jeanez

jacket at a nice coffee cup, to show that you're

reaching out to the youth. The tune of Israel itself,

I think God life. They were looking internally there were

twenty six. Davey spoke to the man who stood by him, saying,

what should we be done for the man who killed

the Philippines? I take away that we push of Israel,

for who is this felicity? They should defound the armies

of living God. Here comes David. The sprill of David

came and just say, look, there's a there's a girl

live here.

Come on, there's a gol live here.

There's a girl life here in our in our life,

there's a girl live here right now. That's causing us

to advance, to push forward, to go out of faith.

That's the go lia of friends. I'm not sure whether

you recognize not there's a girl live there. But yet

do you know who reserve it? Do you remember who

we serve? Do you recognize who are we serving? That

this God life is able to dictate our God? And

many times we live under the life ruling. Instead of

living under God, we live under the life is something

instead of living under God's promises. We can become a

Christian whereby coming to church, coming to church is the

expression of Christianity for anything more, it's not we can

become to a place whereby our faith can we look warm.

So Iliab look at Illiop's respondse train.

Now Illia his older brother heard this, and he spoke

to the man. When he David spoke to the man,

Alias anger aroused against David. First of all, why why

should alienb be angry at David after David did not

talk better about Ilia Ma come quite not if you

hear someone talking better.

About you, of course you get angry, right.

But Alien got angry with David because David inquired about

good life. So he said this to David, why do

you come down here? And whom do you left those

few ships in the wilderness? I know, come on, I

know the pride and the insidence of your heart, for

you have come now to see the better.

This is what Aliabs taught about David. You're just young.

All you're interested in this the excellent expression on me,

and that's why sometimes it's hard to lead the church.

When when you have a young face that I don't

calify for that, I got very old faced praiser halladujah.

I remember one time when I was preaching in year

two thousand and maybe two thousand and five, those usual

five I was preaching at that time. I was one

of the oldest, old one that we have all the

senior people in our church then maybe's ten years older

and me and stuff like that. So we preached the

Bible our friends, and someone gotta give you a message

for example, thinking first the kind of God and everything

elsha to you? Right? Of course you add them with

the scripture Philippis, chapter four. It's prayers supplication that you

remain with the God.

I thought pre treated right. People responded to.

The called calms A gentleman who is about mayor ten

years older than me, Who are you to tell us

how to leave? Who are you to tell us how

to leave? I say, why you have not.

Been through life yet?

You have not been to so imagine pasters even teaching

you about some something. Then you look at him because

it's such a young face, like postling like that? What

what what vicial wash do you use? The I was

asked the question just recently, elder. I always been willing

to ask you this. I know you've got no hair,

but do you actually wash your hate? That one?

I went, like at homes?

You know, at homes, do you actually wash your heat

with shampoo? On? I said, why do you ask that?

I just really wanted to find out. I said, yeah,

I do. I do it shampoo because those of your

ful you understand, okay, those areful this situation, it's only

that double you said, you mean coming up from a

hate one. They said, yeah, it's called the annoying thing,

but you are understand. But anyway, anyway, anyway, anyway say yeah,

so I was saying, shampoo, you can use facial washer,

what do you what do you mean?

See you're washing your face.

Support the extra your head, see this person, support the

extra your head. There's something your body shampoo this extra. Okay,

that's okay, but it happens. Friends, And what't you meadin

right now?

David?

David?

Okay, David, a young spirit just coming.

Out and say hey, this is what we should do.

You know? What's the response?

Sometimes see people answer or been there before, done that,

been there before, done that. These have the younger crowd.

We are older already. You know our faith can become

very judgment after a while. This one, this expression, it's them,

not me. We can come to a place whereby this

is the young people's song give me back. The older

songs were not careful. Friends, that once on fire become warm,

once you like to read, becomes one scripture from you

version Bible. I don't know what our expression has been recently, friends,

but I won't show you from scripture from a David David himself.

They're so passionate for God also can miss the mouth,

So passion for God also can miss the math. Friends.

Next night, God select show off. David was right. God select,

David was right. When Alien cannot see his own anger

and jealousy, so I show you from scripture. Alien was

angry with David. Allen was angry with David. But Allen

couldn't see it. He thought that it was a right response.

He thought there was the right expression. He thought that

being angry at the younger brother because he was being

irresponsible with his responsibility was correct. And sometimes in our

Christian walk, Yes, I realized the time doorish, I just

realized I got five more minutes to preach. I'll need

my second slight or slightly new friends, I'll try, okay,

and a good point at least you can't tell in

my elder back again, I'm lookard the type was not

better because annointing at the times to steal half thirty

for the past twenty minutes. Anyway, David got selection, and

David was right. Alien couldn't see his own anger and jealousy.

Could not see his own anger and jealousy. Do you

know sometimes that's our expression as well. We can't see

our own expression one we think that, so alien faces

and what do you think right now? If Alip think

he was wrong, he would admit was wrong, but he didn't.

You're so blinded sometimes by so it was revealed after

he heard David spoke about taking up good life. So

I'm not sure, friends, when it comes to your Christian

faith for the past so many years being in church

rather this church or any other church.

You know, there's only so much.

Things in the Christian calendar. We have Christmas, Annuilsary, fasting, praying, missions,

we are for missions homes.

That's just typical calendar.

Our friends, I'm not sure after a while, after wild

friends wouldn't be like Eliot or not so boring. Okay,

now I'm not saying it's wrong or right. I'm just

saying observe our response. The Christian faith is like, like

we're going through the cycle after this Sunday Church. The

next greatest good life in your life right now is

where to eat right in, regardless of whether you've got

money and know where to eat, because you know, if

you're if we have a car, we don't even know

where to eat. We can go all the way down

to how to eat those though that does the same

fighters anyway, it was revealed after heard David spoke about

taking Amber life. I'm not sure what's being revealed in

your life right now that you can't see it. Alift

failed to recognize the night thing of God over David's life,

and David spoke about taking Ale life. Elliot failed to

recognize that was clear anointing on David's life. After all,

who wants to take down good life? Who wants to

take them good life? David, no, say, let's see the life.

So I want to marry Saul's daughter. That could be

his motivation. Maybe Saul's daughters right. Pretty then David was like,

oh I marry her after after marry her that my

father in law, well say, I don't have to pay

text anymore?

Right, But didn't?

He just said, who is this goodlife? There's to default

the army of the living God. So, friends, I think

you and I need to see what God sees. God

sees the invisible David's willingness to please God. Come on?

On which contrast is source? Self?

Director, approach? You no source that pushes this perfect semil

You are late. So therefore I'm afraid that people will

leave me. I take it about myself. The worship this,

I'm going to close with this this point. One point,

at least in a Christian world, My prayer is this

that we go all the way expressing our faith to

God like the first day we started with Christ. I'm

not asking you to jump higher saying louder, clap louder

and everything like that. No, I'm asking us really to

look into our own hearts. Really, David just sort to

please God. He felt No, you knew, you know, David,

so he failed. He killed someone for his to get

the person's wife. But yeah, he ended and known until

the men after God's own heart. God was God knows

that imperfection is quite impossible in our own heart, no

matter how hard we try, as you're human. But yeah,

at the same time, God sees has a heart that's

trying to please him, really trying. He's very best to

please him. That's why you see good life. You say,

who is this person who's seek to defile the armies

of living God? I'm not sure in your life when

you see obstacle? What do you see when you see

a Christian faith? After about stagnnited? Look what do you see?

Do you see your own faith? Go like, I got

to do something about my faith. I got to do

something about my faith. I got I got to seek

the Lord. So we ended twenty one days of prayer

and fasting. Something. Are back into your normal routine. You

really normal routine means say that your way get back

to normal, really normal routine. Right, But some of us

here has a lasting impact as I close, lasting impact. Now,

I'm not sure what whether you see your life there's

a willingness to please God, not in all that you do,

willingness to please the Lord?

Or do you like saw it is your thought? You

came late. It's a second census. That's why I'm like that.

I'm everything is the external, Everything is the external, friends,

and because of that, I got no choice about you.

The word is respond this way of sacrifice and offering

to the God, to the Lord when he wasn't asked to,

commanded to.

And sometimes we can get.

Away with this because we say, God, you understand Sami

was late. If I don't do this, the people, the

army that I'm leaving right now will flee, will leave

the camp. After all, we try to justify our action

because of the circumstances. Could you understand my family situation?

That's why I'm here. We put everything I think the

Lord say he knows. Yet at the same time he

is asking us again do we know him?

Because it's not the circumstances. It's more concerned with he's not.

He's asking us whether or not.

In the missle of circumstances, we still hold onto the

conviction that we once had. It can't be that we

read the Bible when we were younger. When we wish

of a certain age, we stop reading the Bible. It

can't be after a while you come to church fifty,

let's say forty over times in a year.

There's only so many messages.

That we could express that you stop asking God, God,

would you reveal yourself to me? Even more? Without faith,

it's impossible to please the Lord. But he will comes

to God must believe. We stop believing because we stop coming.

We're all about the external attendance. That's why after a while,

it's no longer just about attendance. I'm not the most

popular preacher. One time I preci this bang. The joke

was I precious banday than one one one manager or other.

One manager of a company came out to other.

So what do you preach?

You say, why my stuff resigned? My stuff resigned? I see,

why what do you pray for her? I should say,

what do you pray for the person? This is why

it's so hard.

I'm just shaving it. I said, I didn't know anything.

I just preach.

Course, that's it.

I'm not here to I do not know anyone. I

thank God your background and stuff like that. But God

knows your heart. And that's why the reason why we respond,

because because there's a connection between you and the Word.

So it's like close friends. I pray that none of

us here and we when we reach older our faith,

we just say, this is younger one. I mean and Alberts.

You come to churches all we look forward Sunday, and

that's the expression of Christian faith. There must be more.

The expression of our faith has to be more friends.

Like David, although he had think I'm the beat, the

lie at the field, there's a good life that's in

front of us.

It's not taking on.

Good life if we don't go out of faith. Were

talking about ourself. If only we've done this, If only

we've done that, We've grown so much more. If only

we stay together, we'll grow and star. If only have

a better musician, right, we'll go. If only got better keyboard,

we'll grow everything else. Right, If only we're a better house,

our family will be happy. If only we're a bigger feach.

I don't know what it is. External, external, external, like

the tune of Israel. I'm going to close right now.

My prayer is this, that all of us here, by

the time the lot causes home, by the time the

lot causes up, one day, we'll go home to be

with the Lord that will leave a legacy behind. I'm

not asking us to resign, go full time, nothing at all.

I'm not asking us just to follow the lot at

our workplace, follow the lot in our family here. Want

God had to speak say about your family and lid

by that. By this word, I'm asking us really to

seek Him on the daily basis. God here, I don't

know how to solve this, but will you give me

creative ideas, help me to overcome, Help me to talk

to the local councilors. I like got nobody. Help me

to do my submission on my work which you got rejected.

I can't. I pray that we end our journey or

walk firendt with a testimony as I close. I'm so

sorry you feel like but that's the gist of my

revival of our hearts. Really, it's coming to a place

where by our heart just have to be honest. Jeremiah says.

The heart is truly deciful and terribly wicked. Cry, don't

think wickedness as bad people only murder, scammers.

And stuff like that.

The Bible used to work wicked to the parable to

the parable of the servant. The servant that received one

helen the servant that receive one talent, friends, did not

do anything else but bury the talent. Every turn back

the talent to the master, and the Master said to

the servant, you wicked and lazy. Come on, you wicked

and lazy servant, So don't think wickedness. It's just people

who still kill destroy. But when the Master asked the

servant to do something they don't do, the Master labeled

the servant as wicked, which means to say that our

heart something that can be very deceptive. Justify our Christian

faith expression so that our feelings will not be condemned.

God's asking us to go deeper, would you please him?

That's it. Not the church, not the leadership, Follow the Lord.

Follow the Lord.

Because God is the one ultimately who's in control. Amen.
