Unpacking the Vision of Acts Church Part 5 | Pr Yvonne Chong

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

We hope this message will light up your day.

We're gonna just recap of our previous session. How many

of you were here last week Part four? Really good,

really really good? All right, and and our previous previous

sessions at least you've been at least one part of

the unpacking of the vision. Anyone here, Yeah, I can

just see a short hands. So I'll bring us to

the first question as a reflection for us, and as

I was preparing this message, it was also a really

great reminder as we recapt. Okay, so with the first question,

with the unpacking of the vision thus far, what have

you caught yourself you know saying, oh, not just verbally

but thinking and what was going through your heart even

as we started this journey of unpacking in the vision.

Uh, you know, some of us may be thinking.

Like, uh, this does not apply.

To me, Like what you know, raising disciples? What you

want me? You're a leader?

Or you're like, wow, you know, we can see even

many more lives transform, many more small groups planted, Uh,

seeing even one thousand people raise as leaders. So you

just you know, you just reflect and and you can

actually write it now, or if you know nothing cross

your minds, you can just put there.

And I all knew.

But you know, I really hope even as we see

through uh this uh, you know this, the unpacking the division,

I hope it's not just new because you know, faith

comes with action, right, And if we want to continue

a girl in our faith walk, you know, we have

to live out the world of God, right, Uh. And

I want to carry with you, you know if you

see X and you've been coming here regularly, So the

next step for you to take is to unpack, uh,

you know, get rooted, get planted here, and then the

next step to say, like, okay, I'm already here. How

can I run together with you guys? You know, but Stephen,

how can I come around to support even the growth

of this church. How can I play your part? And

as you do that, as you desire that, as you

hunger for that, you will grow also in your spiritual journey.

All right. So that's for the first question.

Second question, what are we doing to live on God's

diet for us as a church?

Yeah?

And this question, you know it's really important because naturally, uh,

you know, the like different studies on nutritions and stuff

like that. Right, different bodies or sometimes they will go

to the extend. Different blood types as well, you require

a different diet to be healthy. Apparently you can sorry,

okay this apparently it's a certain blood types. You are

not suitable to take more meat and somebody's not really

you know, you need more fiber, need more vegetables instead.

So you know, but as ex Church, what is God's

diet for us?

Yeah?

And what are we doing then to live out God's

diet for us? Yeah? And and different church, you know,

will have a different calling, a different vision, a different

mission to fulfill.

So likewise for ex Church yourself.

Okay, So if you have question marks, you know, okay,

what's the vision?

Or ex Church? What is our mission?

Uh? You can ask the leaders here, okay, because they

can bring you back even to the first part. Or

you can actually you know, listen to the recordings online

message to go dot com right or dot org, dot

or org a message to go dot x cha dot org.

Yes, correct, so you get hit there and do a recap.

Okay, all right, So today are we're going to cover

the implementation part?

Okay, what's the plan? All right?

You could have heard that what our vision is? And

now what's the plan? What's the game plan?

All right?

You know like every sports game, right when we play

together as a team, there is a game plan that's

a strategy involved. How many of you have played you know,

any team spots before? Yeah, yeah, even if it's not

team sport, individual sports. So sorry, you need to have

a game plan, right, You don't just go there and

just hit aimlessly. I mean, Keller, you wanted to just

you know, set, but then it's funner. It's more fun

when you have strategies involved, right when you have a

game plan. So what's our game plan?

All right? And we're going to draw it out as

you look.

True, right, this first part we're going to draw it

out from the life of Pastor Kenneth. All right, Uh,

like you know I started, you know, Bassa Kenneth. He's

the foundations near x Church actually started with just cheapeople,

him and two other brothers, and you know, being the founder,

being the pioneer. Uh you know, God always with deposit

you know, uh, the vision even for the group right

through the pioneer and and and it's not just that,

you know, Passa Kenneth has always been very consistent on

how he lived his life.

And and you know, we want to draw from him.

And one of these you know you can read here right,

the one secret to Pasta Kenneth's success uh in life

is living by the power of tithing.

All right.

Some of you may know or may not know when

pass Kenneth started ex Church till quite some time, but

I lost count how many years. But since the day

he started ex church, one thing he told God, God,

I will not take the salary from act.

I'm gonna live by faith.

And then the next question is like, okay, I'm not

if he does not receive a salary, he's living by faith,

and how is it going to tie?

Right?

And a lot of times they understand tithing, you know,

to just the you know, the setting aside of our

ten percent of our income for that month. But you

know the principle here today which I want to bring

us true. You know, it did not start with Faster Canneth,

but it went all the way back to the garden

of Eden, all right.

So what happened in the garden Eden?

God created different things, and he created Adam and Eve. Right,

and God actually told the man do not touch the

tree all right, And it show us a very very

important principle that everything that we have in life, that

is some that we cannot touch.

And the thing that we cannot touch belongs to the Lord.

All right.

So for example, our finances. You know, God says, set

aside ten percent, h to give it unto him, so

that ten percent is untouchable.

All right, do not touch.

That, do not use that because it belongs to the Lord.

And if anyone touches it, what happens? Then we can

become our own God, all right. If you read Genesis again,

all right, And when God says do not touch this,

and you know, do not do that. You know, the

world may have a certain living standard that they live by,

but we have a different diet.

Bring a child of the Lord.

And when we hear that, you know, when God speaks

to us so clearly already, Hey, you know, do not

do this.

Then what we do we have to do. We have

to acknowledge it.

Okay, God, imeledge that you are a lot over my life,

and I will obey what you have told me not

to do, all right, And I remember how many of

you still remember, you know, when the pandemic COVID nineteen

hit in year two thousand and I think, if I'm

not wrong, I think the whole world went to a shutdown, right,

a lockdown, and especially in Malaysia. You know, things are

really really strict. We have a see movement control order,

all right. We cannot travel past certain radius. You can

have too many people in a car, and you know

you're only allowed to be in a certain place for

the limited time.

You know, the kind of thing.

And so hence you know, the working adults, we work

from home, right, students, we were studying from home, and

I remember when you work from home now looking back

and realized, actually you can save a lot of money,

a lot of money and a lot a lot lot

lot of time and and and a lot of things.

You know, I'm like, okay, you know, God, now I

finally am able to say, because I don't travel the

need like every other time. You know, Petrol told uh right, yeah,

different words of you have entering so many you understand.

And during the ministry in Nearlis, we are quite a

campus uh.

Centric church plant.

Meaning you know, majority of our congregation were campus students.

And now we have quite a good ratio now between

all the different age groups.

So so being you know.

Ministering to campus students usually uh, you know, sometimes you

meet out with them, catch up with them, you know,

for me, for me, like I don't say everyone, just

for me. I like as much as possible to actually

treat them, okay, blanchard them Malaysia where you know, to

treat them to the meal. Uh. And sometimes if you

know there's some like you know, if I can you know,

for example, if they need someday best now buy them

clothes and stuff like that.

So so uh and I'm like, okay, God, yeah, I don't.

Have to mean any if I didn't mean that, Okay,

Online whatsapt okay, saya?

Love of money are meals?

You know, working from home as well, that point time

you don't get to dining out right. Eating also is

very expensive, so cooking at home. And I realized per month,

if I cook fully at home, my guy at home,

I just spent about two hundred for groceries. And it's

smaller enough for three meals. It's smaller enough. So my god, okay,

what do I do? The balance? And I started looking

at different investment opportunities, right, Uh, different opportunities came out.

It's a lot of things. You know, different ones started approaching, uh, investment,

not just finances, and some people started selling different products

like hey, you know, be part of this. And then

Thermo mix was on the highest. Well you know, I'm like, okay,

you know you know so and God had to I

was planning, and I'm like, okay, in the interest that

can earn back by the time I'm sel is done

in life.

Extra God, it'll be so amazing. Uh. And then you know,

God had to stop my thoughts.

He had to stop me, and he asked, even with

the money, that you're safe. It was actually amount that

you intentionally set a site for my work.

To bless my people. Uh.

And and and you know, for the sake of ministry asself.

I was like, God, I know where you're getting. I

know where you're going. Uh and something which you know

you have set a site. Now you're just gonna put

in the invest I'm like, God, why you know You're

like okay, I close my ears.

But you know God still speaks, right.

He said, God, don't say anything anyone, but God still prompts.

He still speaks. Uh.

And it was a stirring like you know, whatever amount

I think the part time if I remember carreous about

nine nine a thousand.

Uh and God told me, you know.

Since you said that aside in this MCO, continue look

for opportunities.

Don't hash this for yourself.

Uh, and continue use it to bless continue use it

for the sake of ministry, as I had got why.

They have to do this.

But you know, got blessed in many many folds in

written uh. And I remember my phone was breaking down

not too long after that, and uh for my birthday,

you know, uh, different ones pulled together some sound of

money and got me a new phone. And I've not

I've not owned a phone that is that expensive. And

upont a time, I can't remember what was the It

was a Sam song. It was a five K plus

the six K for the phone. It was way more

expensive than my laptop.

Uh.

And and I was given a new phone. Uh and

and it's not paid advertisement.

Okay.

After using some swhere, I realized, okay, it's just all right,

not too bad.

I'm no longer using some so now.

But at that point of time, you know, God blessed

me in many folds in return. And something that I

never mentioned off or you know, calculate, you know, sometimes

when we give unto the lot, we have a sudden

bargain with him, right, a sudden contract that you try

to strengthen the lot. And and you know, you know,

thinking that God, you know you are transactional God as well,

because everything around us, you know, the principle this word

is very transactional based. But God did not work that way,

all right, So it is not a law but the

spirit of putting God first in all that we do,

all right, you know, just not talk about financeers, andy,

but in every area of life, giving to God.

What belongs to him.

Okay, I think that's the one that you get to

feel us so giving to God what belongs to him.

We may say that we may not have enough time,

but if we were to give God that time and

so time the Bible says what we will read, right,

and and God blesses even many folds and return and

especially you know these days and every day is just

grabbing for attention. Twenty four hours seems like it's not

enough now, uh, And and you know, like, got no

time already, and you're asking me to spend time meet

up with that person that needs a little bit more care.

And I God, I got no time, how but God says,

you know, sew it and you will repeat, all right.

So that's my encouragement to us as well, all right.

And the second part, you know, living by the power

of tithes, the tithes is that all things are possible

the tithes. Okay, some ways we can actually tithes. Okay,

giving us some practical areas because you might be thinking, okay, God,

where do I start with?

Right?

So these areas are two for six seven okay, seven

areas that we could tie. First, can tithe to our prayer, okay,

so we can actually pray for every need that we

have agreed to pray for, all right. And being Christians,

sometimes it becomes like a habitual thing. You know, when

people share with us things, you're like, okay, I'll keep

you in prayer. Then the next minute you've forgotten that

you have actually committed to that, right, But let's make

that count. You know, when you say that you will

keep the person in prayer, let's do that.

Okay.

And and you know praying for someone takes up our

time as well, but why not set aside that time

even for that person?

All right?

Second area is the self. We can serve God and

his house with our one hundred percent. Yep, we give

to God what is right, not what is left. All right,

the right thing to do is to give him one

hundred percent, not just you know, God, I have a

hopefull way a day bunch ready.

I give him five percent left.

This is my loose change, the loose coins that I

put in uh. And I was I saw one of

my friends post or she's uh in Indonesia right now

for holiday. So and she's supposed to leave her day

last day. Then and then she realized she has a

lot of coins left indonation coins. I think that the

Norman quite be like a hundred. I think they have

five hundred as well. So she get out all the

coins and she wanted to pass it to the GoJet

driver gorget is there grab on autorbikes?

Okay?

So and the go jet drive A She's like, I

don't want this because your pennies are I mean, the

co is don't work that much now like what? So

she actually posted that okay, so, spare change, Okay, don't

give God your spare change. Don't give God what is

left all right, but give him one hundred percent okay, Uh,

that's a third area.

Share we can share with those.

Who do not have all right, the two gs here

a GG, the first g Gospel. Okay, those who do

not have the Gospel, share it with them, Share it generously,

share them the love of Christ generously. We live in

the world. That you know, it's all about just getting

right and not giving.

Uh.

You know, let's set the highest and that you know,

let's be a counter culture and be generous in our

sharing of the gospel.

Uh. And and do it, you know, of the abundance

of our heart. That's so all right.

Fourth area, Make disciples, we can turn. We can help

every pre believer to become a partner, all right.

Uh.

And every partner you know one day ultimately be a pioneer.

So those of you here, you know, partners of ex church.

You know, see yourself, you know, going to a place

of being a pioneer, and from a pioneer to a

place of parenting.

Right, you know, those of you who know.

But Stephen, he is uh, you know, being handled by

bastar ronson right and barsaronsa once a bono time, once

upon a time, long long time ago, and dinosaurs around

the earth.

No, he's not that he's not that all.

So he pioneered x neeli uh you know, and he

came into ex church as a pre believer those of

you who know his story, right, he lost his dad

and then that swere he encountered God and gave his

life to Christ. And then he became a partner. He

started serving, being really faithful, and then you know, got

challenge him to pioneer. And from pioneer he is actually

parenting now as well, different church planters, you know, Bussus Stevens,

one of them Basta doctor Lazarus who is all away

in Bartswana, uh yeah, and and and different ones.

You know, he is parenting.

So I I really you know, all of us here

with desire to not just be uh biological parents, but

spiritual parents. Yeah. And and so that you know, we

can fill the earth all right, not just biologically but

spiritually right.

To fill the earth all right.

Uh. Next one, you know, community, sorry, take on leadership,

all right, That's what I spoke about it just now.

The next one community work. We can actually get.

Involved with nation building and kingdom building and x you know,

we are really really big on nation buil uh you

all the different things that we do you know the

community work that we do and pass us hard, you know,

for Dream Malaysia. If you do not know what that is,

you can head over to the chin Up talk show.

He talked about it, UH last year, I think somebody

in October, uh September around around that time period.

UH.

And our dream from Malaysia Dream for the different nations?

Why do we plan? Why do we plant churches all

around the different continents? And some of it in first

world country?

Uh?

You know sometimes you know meets different ones.

Some people like you know, why would UH church Malaysian

church from that world country, uh plant out to a

first world country?

What do you have to offer? You know? Sometimes you

know being inferior?

You know, what do we have to offer uh to

the Australia, you know, to the United Kingdom. But we

have so much uh, and so much is that we

are able to offer Christ to the nation. And we

know Christ will bring the transformation as well. Right and

and last one, missions we can do our part to

fill the earth with the knowledge of His glory. All right,

So missions sign up? You know there are different opportunities

for you to be part of the different missions trip

uh and some of us you know, may be sent

out to a further away land for missions. But I

always believe as well, missions can start at our doorstep.

Just look across the road, noting her, noting her fish

direction or that direction.

Across the road.

We have nations, Nations at our doorstep, so we could

start with that. Sometimes you're like, okay, you know, uh,

due to maybe different reasons, you know, going out to

a totally different community a further way, you know, maybe

a struggle of us.

But Nations is a doorstep. Uh.

And it's just you know, nothing at university. It's just

not for our students to reach, right, but it's for

all of us. You know, when we have the nations

walking in here as a church, what are we doing

about it? Right? As a believer individually, what are you

doing to help them feel belong and belong not just

in the community, but belong to the Body of Christ,

you know. And one of the very key thing, you know,

once of us, once of us, once upon a time,

many of us become one of us. Okay, we want students, right,

and one of the clear things that we are able

to identify is home.

Being homesick, you know, being away from home.

Uh. And not just even the physical presence of family,

but sometimes home cooked food, right, the comfort of home,

the comfort of I don't know, someone helping you laundry.

Uh.

And and you know, and I've heard different maybe in

Malaysian culture not so much, but we can be counter culture, right, uh.

Different of my friends when overseas the study, they have

like families, like on Sunday, right, they invite the students

that they come to my house a cook a meal,

come and join us, you know, And I see, you know,

many families here, many young working adults here, thank you, Ben,

young working adults here. Then you catually invite, you know,

students who are away the nations, across the road that's

away from home, you know, to a warm, home cooked

mill all right. Uh? And I do know some students

just live on fast food for there are three years

of studying life, or Maggie me for the three years

of their studying life somewhere who live in a hotel.

They can't really cook.

So so you know, no, we can, we can do

something about it. And and you know, besides just doing,

you can pray, right, you can give assult towards missions.

So reflection here, how can I redeem my time for

the Lord.

All right?

All right, So that is for us to ponder during

your devotion tonight or tomorrow morning. You can reflect more

on this, but I would give us leaders to our

third part on the power of tithing is to give

the Caesar what is caesars?

Right? And to God? What is God?

What action am I going to take to give God

what belongs to him?

All right?

The different areas in life, you know, I talk about

just now that we could actually check that we have stolen, oh,

that we have stolen from the Lord, right, and use

it for ourselves.

Right?

What can we give to God? And you know this

this phrase of giving to Caesar what is caesars? If

you're working a doubt here, you know, continue to work

and give your best to your boss.

All right? It does not mean okay?

Now you know I've heard that when time belongs to

the lot, I go to a place I start doing

all my ministry work there, you know, use the photocopy

machine to bring all the homesnots ah. And you realize, okay,

there's a campus even coming out. They need some stationaries.

You take your office stationaries and you bring here. Not okay,

but you know what is Caesars belongs to Caesars. Uh,

you know you're hired still, you know, to be employed

the company. Be the best employe you can, but be

the best for God as all. Okay, so think about it.

If if it's too large of a concept, understand you

can speak the amazing leaders here they're able to break

it down further for you. Okay, all right, here, what

is the significance of the twenty years? Okay, guy, my

water sorry, true trut a bit drying up. Okay, what

is the significance of the twenty years? As we approached okay,

twenty twenty, God actually downloaded a lot of significant things

to us the first twenty years. When you know, from

the day extra she was born, the vision for us

was Joseph.

And we know that Joseph of the Bible.

He was a dreamer, right, He dreamt dreams, he interpreted dreams.

And the next twenty years, now you'll be an era,

which is the Daniel era, right, making a difference in

our marketplace. You know Daniel, you know he stood out

among all the people of the land. And and you

know Daniel make a difference wherever he was.

He was counterculture.

You know, if you don't know the life and story

of Daniel, you can read the book of Daniel. And

Daniel wasn't you know anyone who is like a season,

like seventy eighty years old, you know, really season in life,

really have all the experiences. But he was actually about

a youth in a youth age group. Sorry, yeah, but

being at his prime age, you know, he could you know,

stand up to the king and say, okay, this is

my diet. I will not bow to you know, whatever

you need of me, but I will continue to serve

my God and I will continue to eat a different diet.

And even as he eventul fire eventual you know, the lions,

then he did not cave in. He did not give in.

So twenty twenty is actually the perfect vision.

For us.

And this came right. Actually this vision came was in

year twenty ten, yes, in year twenty ten, sorry, in

year twenty twenty. Okay, so our twenty years were and

at twenty forty all right, So in twenty twenty, when's

vision I was given to Pasta, those of us who

are Malaysians at a point of time, so the vision

was shared to X and normally our new vision comes

in February because that's where the beginning of new year

of ex Church is our birthday. So pasta share that

and a few months later Malaysia went through our general elections.

At a point of time, it was pivotal and it

was a very important turning point for us as a

nation because never in the history of Malaysia that we

have had a new government. Case since you know, our

independence till then, it's always been the same government, same

leaders per se. But a change came in twenty forty

and we see them in the Bible. Right, Daniel served

four kings, and God showed that each king got showed

to past the kenneth. Then that each king was like

a government. Okay, So and the calculation came right, election

cycle for Malaysia is every five years, and hence you

know five years times four cycles, it's actually twenty years.

All right.

So let's get excited for the coming years. And you know,

it is a very very prophetic vision. The pastor got

definitely known. But the pastor, did the leadership of church

know that there's going to be a shift.

We didn't.

But now we know that is actually possible, all right,

So let's get excited in the coming years, even as

we continue to speak prophetically tactically into Malaysia, even into

our church as well, you know, we'll see even further growth.

All right.

So in twenty twenty one, you know, actually I think

that was if I'm not wrong, it could be our

first ex leaders stay out, if I'm not wrong, And

we had a few kids key takeaways from that leaders

stay out itself, all right. So and the leaders of X,

you know, as we continue to streamline and fine tune,

even working towards this next twenty years of vision, got

reminded the leaders you know who are haddled leaders as well.

If you don't know what hardle is, you can ask

the leaders here what is a huddle.

They will be able to explain to you.

Okay, to make sure they're harder members, all right, The

harder leaders have to make sure that harder members are

clear about their contribution, their part to play building the wall,

right like in Nihi Maya right he had to restore,

uh what do you restore in.

The walls right of Jerusalem?

And different ones if you read through the Bible, he

had different ones had different roles to play the restore

the building of the wall. So we have to continuously

be clear even as you bring to the church about

their role of this whole project that we are on,

all right. And the second part is to make sure

everyone of the one thousand is actually accounted for, all right.

Uh And and you know those of you have been

joining exeminey for a while, do you know that leaders here,

you know, do account for you, right uh? And and

they don't know you by name, and and they don't

know you as a person as well. So that's you know,

us accountable for your life, all right. And because you

know as leaders of this sue see you know different

ones that God brings along our way.

God and trust you.

Guys to us the shepherd, and we have to account

to take account right. You know, those of you who

have studied accounting, you know there's a debit credit your

legers and whether not have to always balance up, right.

I think LC teaches business, right, she teaches accounts as well. Yeah,

so I didn't get a concept round by that. It's

alone that linees likest all right, okay, And we have

to make sure as well, you know, our part being

accountable to God. Also, it's to see the one thousand

of you all right, it is to see so many

is about sixty a right, sixty seventy of you, you know,

participating being part of this vision and in a way

you see here playing. Okay, you know we talk about

tea spots, you know, all though you know you are

a reserve team, but reserve team gets to play as well.

No one you know is at the sidelines, all right.

No one is just watching from far. Everyone's involved, all right.

The third part is to make sure there's a plan

and focus on reading souls and making disciples, raising leaders,

producing leaders, raising them and releasing Daniels to the marketplace. Okay,

So no, this is our part and our contribution to

help you grow that all of us here with your

soul winess, right, all of us here.

You know we'll be making disciples.

Uh. And and you know, not just making disciples within

the four walls of church, but in your marketplace, in

your school, in your neighborhood, in your workplace, else in

your campuses as well. You know you are making disciples.

You know you're helping people to be more like Jesus,

all right.

Uh.

And your produce leaders and you are being empowered and

released to your domain, all right. To be dominions over it,

all right, your domain, you know of your marketplace, and

take authority of that ground for Christ. Okay, So how

can we break it even to a more personal level?

All right, let's read efficient chapter four, verse sixteen. Not

too sure, Oh yeah, the verse is up there, so

we can actually read it together.

Okay, all right?

In my country one two entry from whom the whole

body join and knit together by what every joint supplies,

according to the effective working by which every part does

it share, causes growth of the body for the edify

self in love.

Al right.

The very key thing here is that every part does

its share so that what the body can grow, all right?

And I like this comparison to the functioning of our

human body. Different ones of us are contributing to the

different part. If one part of our body breaks down, right,

we know that, you know. Okay, it is bad, all right.

That's where you go see the specialist and you get

all worried, like, oh no, my kidney is not functioning.

How right, So every part we have to do our

role and our share for this body. For the Body

of Christ to be healthy, we have to contribute to it,

all right. And there are three levels. Okay, that examples okay,

three levels tricks examples that we could contribute in, all right.

So level one we'll.

Start with that first, God's diet okay for us, so

it'll be broken. The God's diet, He's deliberate and our

ties to him. And I'll explain about the leaven as well,

all right. So God's diet for earth okay as believers

as a church is to fill the earth and have

dominion over things of the earth, all right. So that's

God started for us. And how do we do that?

That's his daily breadler all right. His provision and how

do we go about it is to making disciples. And

you know the making of disciples as well. It's not

going to be up through our own strength, right and

our own mind might, but it's going to be true

the ending bling of the Holy Spirit as well. So

as we make disciples, you know, rely and depend on God,

all right. So what is our tithes to God in

this area? Start with who we have, where we are,

and what we have, all right. So for example here

you know, we actually put singing our in house songs,

so in twenty twenty twenty, but slack, you know, to

to encourage the church, for ten wicks to just sing

songs that has been written in ex church that we

realize in the time wiks as they sang the song,

you know, God changed the atmosphere different ones. You know,

they were really really blessed through our worship time as well.

So there are sometimes we always look, i know, look west,

look east, north, look south. But we have amazing things

in house, all right, and start with what we have.

And you know, we don't just write songs for the

sale writing songs, right, but we write songs because songs

written in house is downloaded prophetically as well by the

songwriter and the team comes together and does the arrangement

so that the church can be blessed by it, all right.

So the eleven okay, how do we then, uh you know,

introduce these years to this lumber of doors so that

you know it can rise, all right, So that it

can rise and multiply. Is to actually send up keep

doing it until it becomes a momentum.

You know.

That's why you know in next we give a lot

of opportunities for us to be involved, uh you know,

either involved in a missions field or involved in houses

as well.

I don't know.

The campus age group has a lot of different outreaches

usually uh and and you know, be involved, all right,

allow yourself to be sent.

Out from your comfort zone.

Uh And and you know, human beings, we are all

creatures of comfort, right. We always have a default setting

when we go back to uh, whether we are tired,

when we are tired, or when we feel you know,

in you know, threatened or you know, we're just okay,

there's a default setting.

We are comfortable.

But allow, you know, allow the leadership, allow us as

a church as well to kind of po cure bit

not chill and being very kind of words. Because the

word in the Bible, when it comes to stand out, right,

it is to actually be kicked out from a comfort zone.

So that is a very strong word. But some words

we need that nigen.

First and the booking and when maybe it does not happen,

then you have to be kicked out. But it'll keep

doing it until it becomes on momentum, you know, and

and it keeps snowballing and after that, right when you

look by it, like, hey, it's actually easy to make disciples.

It's actually easy to raise disciples as well. It's actually

easy for me to come out from a comfort zone.

Okay.

Level number two, God started one thousand by one thousand, okay,

so just not you know, we talk about that one

thousand people that we have to make sure that they're

accounted for, they are involved, all right, And and to

continue a text stop all right, of who we have

even in our congregation, who do we have now church?

Who do we who has got you know, given to me? Uh?

To make a difference? Who has got given to me?

To make sure that they are raised as disciples and

and and then leaders as well?

All right?

So that's his daily berate for us to take stock

and our tithes is to make sure the rest of

the seven hundred and fifty. So every actually all of

us here, I hope we desire to be disciples and

to be followers of Christ, all right. And the level

to that, okay, uh, you know for for you who

have a desire already is to make a list, you know,

come up with strategies, you know, creating system, putting up

a schedule and holding each other accountable and like, okay,

how am I going to help you know this person

being from a new com in church, all right? Uh?

To be a partner and then a pioneer. So okay,

level number three. God's diet is to see for us

to see ten thousand a church of a ten thousand

by twenty thirty, all right, and his daily break is

not to church transfer. But you know that ten thousand,

ninety percent is actually your believers, So ninety percent means

nine thousand, right, okay, God help my mets. Okay, nine

thousand are actually new believers, not church transfers. So you know,

church should not. It's not healthy if we just go

by you know, church transfers, because there's still the ninety

percent out there. If you look at the statistics of Malaysia,

so ninety percent and not yet believers.

So as a church, what are we doing about that? Right?

We are surrounded daily by you know the ninety percent, okay,

So our ties to this is every one of the

one thousand partners reaches one new soul every year possible,

all of us here, all of us here, just that

one new soul this year?

All right? Uh X, some money world double okay.

One hundred percent growth, right, one hundred percent growth is

really really healthy?

All right?

So my challenge encouragement to us reach that one more life, okay, Rich,

one more life after church today, go home and pray God, okay,

just one more life doable, right?

Not ten? One?

Just one more life, you know, leading them to Christ

and and you know, getting them plucked in to the

local church, all right. So that that is the leven itself.

And and you know ask God, God, give me a

portune or perhaps our daily prayer. Now you know, waking

up in the morning could change, uh, and can change

when we start having that desire. And that's the leaven, right,

And God, show me opportunity. How I can actually show

your love to the people around me today? You know,

how can I show off your power? How can I

point you know, people back to you? Who is that

one person that can share your gospel with today?

All right?

And and we can wake up with that with that prayer,

and as we desire and as we hunger for it, right,

God gives theself.

Okay.

So when we want to account for something, we must

first break it down to numbers and names. So I

started with just that one life, all right? And then

who is it? And I'm sure God has dropped a

person's name in our house before, Like, okay, you need

to go visit. You need to go pray, uh, you know,

drop texts, you know, ask God, God, can you just

give me that clarity?

Give me a name? All right? Uh? And maybe it.

Could also be people within church yourself. You know, you

brought a friend of church before for example, and then

now they're like ghosting you. So perhaps you know you

can start praying for them. God, you know, help me

help this person get rooted again. Yeah, so break it

down and ask God as well. God give me ideas,

how can I reach that one more?

All right?

Radical ideas? You know here writes you know, radical obedience. Radical,

that's radical generosity. So how do we get there? Then

you can share it if you're leaders, you know. But Stephen, okay,

I pray, you know God gave me this name or not?

I pray God gave me a strategy how to reach

this company or this Tamman Uh, this housing estate you know,

this this new campus. I have the strategy, you know,

accounting back to your leaders so that the whole church

can come together, all right? Uh and support what God

has given to you as well.

All right?

And you know, if God has given you you know

the idea of like perhaps you know, doing hospital visits

to visit those who are sick, pray for them, sharing

with your church so you don't have to do it alone.

And so all right.

And time investment, okay, just that we talk about sowing

time to redeem timeh And a lot of times we

have a lot of distractions. I rather time when they

start saying, okay, you have how long list of things

to do? Can we then you know, set aside in

our schedule a time that you know, go back to

point to the ideas that God has given to you

to reach out to that person or that community. So

intentionally it sets us time to do that so that

it can work, all right. And when you intentionally plot

it down, you're saying that God, whatever that you have

droppen my heart counts. Okay, we only count so that

you so that you can be accounted for.

All right. So I'm going close with this.

And the warning here all right, it is actually from

Luke chapter thirteen, verse six to nine, and let's read

it together, say on screen, and so okay, good so

Luke thirteen six to nine. In one two and three

he also spoke this parable. A certain man had a

fig tree planted in a vineyard. He then he said

to the keeper of his vineyard, look, for the three

years I have come seeking fruit on this fig tree

and find none.

Cut it down? Why does it use up the ground?

But here answered and said to him, sir, let it

alone this year also until I dig around it and

fertilize it. And if it bears through, well, but if not,

you can cut it down all right, okay. So drawing

from this verse itself, you know there may be those

of us, okay, who have not responded uh this last

few years.

Or we may know.

People you know have not been responding to you this

last few years. And God is still counting then in uh.

And and you know God is a god of second chances.

And you know has God cut them now?

Yet?

You know has they have they been? You know, I

do check myself like God at the areas of life

that you know I've been like saying no to you aha.

And and you know als preparing this as a God.

You know, if I have done that, please don't cut

it down yet, give me second chance andround that area

that we're try into the fire we've got stand. It's

a bit hard to say for a year, right, So

God gives us chances.

And you know, there may people.

That you know God brought away, they've ghosted you, and

sometimes like I don't waste time on this person. Maybe

you know, now it's a good time to revisit and

say that God, maybe they have not responded, Can I

try again?

All right?

So that's the first level, the second level. And and

even for those who have not been faithful and they're

still turning out church, you know, let's give it another

another chance, all right. But if the different areas that

we have been trying to sow into or the people

that have been sowing into, and that the relationship is

just not bearing fruit, uh, and that we let them

go their own way, you know, and and then you know,

maybe one you know, when it's the right time, God

will bring them back again.

All right. So this is the warning.

And I hope you know none of us are into

any of this in this category. And it's a good

heart shat, like, okay, God, do not cast me aside,

all right. May I be found useful. May I be

found faithful to you in every single area?

All right?

Our close close with these the call to action, all right.

So I'm going to give us a bit of time

what time I suppose again eleven? Okay, we have five

minutes left, all right, so you can just break up

into pairs because it's not talk about to count uh

and and make ourselves accountable. So far a partner, all right?

Right now, guy to guy, I got to go because

you can pay each other's accountability partner, all right with

this area. So what is my response to God's died?

What is my response to his dailibrate? What is my

response to my tithes? And what is my response to

the eleven?

All right? Discuss with each other.

You can write down what God has dropped into your

heart and then share it.

With each other.

Okay, So I'll give you two minutes I'll be sure,

but wetry okay, two minutes to download and then I'll

give us three minutes then to share each other.

Okay.
