-
You're listening to a message to go from acts church.
-
We hope this message will light up your tea.
-
All right, how are you excited to wrap up the series?
-
I hope you're not saying I'm glad it's done. Actually,
-
in a way, I'm glad it's done because it's time
-
to move. Yeah, a lot of us like to hear
-
the vision, but after hearing the vision, there's always an action.
-
All right. I don't know how many of you like
-
to go to a company and then every week you're
-
hearing about the vision. It's time to move, friends, It's
-
time to go. It's time to move. It's time to
-
work for the Lord. Amen. There are souls to be saved,
-
and there are people that need to know Jesus. The
-
time is coming, and the time is running short. So
-
I think it's time to move. But if you have
-
your books with me, you can turn to page number
-
forty seven, class, and we're gonna do this together. Man. Amen. Amen,
-
you know one thing about the word vision, and we
-
have just demonstrated earlier that without sight, it's going to
-
be very difficult to live life on this earth, right, Karna,
-
was it challenging to close your eyes for a while
-
and listen to your lovely wise voice, not so much
-
the voice, but more so the side right, because the voice,
-
I'm sure you love it, you love it, but it's challenging, right.
-
And one thing of vision that I would like to
-
just share if all of us is that unless you know,
-
vision is something that is there, unless you're born without
-
a vision. But when you close your eyes, did you
-
know that you are actually also able to see something?
-
I want, I want all of you to just close
-
your eyes right now? What do you all see? What
-
do you actually see? Darkness? Pitch black? Did you know
-
that those are that you can open eyes now? But
-
those that are blind, do you know that that's what
-
they see? Actually what they see is maybe specs of colors, spectrums.
-
Some are totally dark, but actually majority I did some
-
research on this, it's not totally darkness, it's white. Did
-
you know that vision? One thing or a vision is
-
that unless if you do not open your eyes or
-
direct your eyes to see, it actually takes an active
-
respond from your end to actually have vision to actually
-
see something. Another thing or a vision is that when
-
you open your eyes, what do you see? Now? You
-
see a vast majority of people Yeah, you see the drums,
-
you see the guitar. But there must be a decision
-
that you make within your own hearts in order to
-
actually see what you have to see. All of you,
-
now bring your attention on me, perhaps, I hope so. Right.
-
You're looking at me right now, hearing what I have
-
to say, and that's why you see me. But did
-
you know that you can also not see me? Did
-
you know that you can actually choose not to see me? Right?
-
I can be speaking here, I can be holding the
-
mica and be hearing my voice. But what you're seeing
-
is that chucklate deal that you're about to have. Right,
-
what you see is that movie that you're about to watch.
-
What you see can be that laundry that you have
-
not done at home, or you see can you be
-
your your cat that is crying out loud for food.
-
Vision is something that you choose to see. Yeah, everyone
-
here has a vision, but unless you choose to activate
-
your sight by opening your eyes, you might not see
-
what you are meant to see. Amen. And the same
-
way with the vision that has been given to us
-
in ext church, that God has granted to us. Now,
-
what is the vision? What is the big vision? I
-
hope by now we can at least answer what is
-
the vision? Anyone anyone able to answer what the vision
-
of ex church is? It's a man that knows how
-
to cook? Come on, ha ha, how about cook? Yeah?
-
Come on, come on, what is it? How about cook?
-
Two fourteen? Yeah? What is habakuk two fourteen for the
-
earth shell? With off off s cover all right, covering? Yeah?
-
Technically yeah, yeah, And uh, I just gonna encourage all
-
of us a vision that is given to us. It's
-
not just something that is given just because a lot
-
of you here are successful businessmen business woman in fact,
-
so you are studying, right, I'm sure you would want
-
your company, your staff, or you yourself, if you are
-
an employee, to know clearly what the vision of your
-
company is, Right, is it to reach out to the marginalized?
-
Because if that is the vision, and let's say, for example,
-
if that the CEO says the vision of my company
-
is not to gain profit, profit is to reach out
-
further to the marginalized, you wouldn't runt your CFO or
-
your chief financial officer or your managers down the line
-
to then say that, hey, you know what we got profit,
-
let's use this probably to make more profit. And then
-
down the line when he hands it over to the
-
next manager, and then the marginalize gets forgotten and your
-
vision that you will once pay place it on the
-
wall saying that we are going to reach out to
-
the those that really are marginalized, those that are without food. Right,
-
that's the whole purpose of my company in the first place.
-
That I sucked the setup and I started. But as
-
you go down the line, and as you do not
-
translate that clearly, it gets diminished, watered down, and to
-
a certain extent, that vision is lost. Do they do
-
the manager down line still has vision, they do, but
-
they're not looking at what they are meant to look at.
-
And you wouldn't want that for anything, right, for anything,
-
You don't want to lose sight on what really matters. Now,
-
let's recap the previous session. There are four things Thatcano
-
shared last week, and I hope we remember right. It
-
is to live by the power of the tithe. It's
-
to live by the power of the type. You know,
-
everything that we have belongs to the Lord. Amen. I
-
hope we for some of you knew here, and maybe
-
you don't. You have not heard this concept before. By
-
speaking to the believers here, the believers of the House. Right,
-
everything that we have belongs to the Lord. Nothing that
-
we have, nothing that we have is ours. Everything that
-
we have the Lord is given to us. And I
-
pray that we remember that. It's easy to remember that
-
when we are poor, but when we start to earn
-
and then the finances st to flow, and when and
-
when I remember one day when I was younger, I
-
always relish every opportunity to eat chicken rice because to me,
-
chicken rice is such a privilege. I saw one influencer
-
on the on on social media set the other day,
-
like everyone who is chicken rice has their chicken rice spot. Yeah,
-
and I have my chicken rice sport, right, I have
-
my chicken rice ports in USUA four. Uh And because
-
that's the one that I always climb out of my
-
then daycare when my mom puts me after school. Uh
-
yeah yeah day yeah place where someone cares for Mila.
-
When I was nine years old, eight years old, right
-
after primary school, I'll climb out of the gate just
-
to get my chicken rice fixed. And I was still
-
my parents' money, just because chicken rice is expensive. Yeah,
-
and I love chicken rice. I love it so much
-
that I can eat it every single day for the
-
rest of my life. I once thought, so now it's
-
not fun. But there was a period of time in
-
my life, in my second day life, that I just
-
ate chicken rice for entire three four five months. That's
-
the only thing. My mom asked, you want to eat
-
kay fun kaifan kaifan. And for me, I don't care
-
what kind of kai I get, hong ky red kay
-
I can get, no problem. That's what I remember. I
-
used to think it's red chicken, but it's not. It's
-
the breast chicken. To me, it's whatever whatever chicken. And
-
it is delicious, so suckulent, so juicy, or tell you what.
-
I love chicken rice so much. You know, I love it.
-
And my mom said, you don't forget your vegetables. You know,
-
I say, I don't forget. I never forget. That's why
-
the coriander is there. That's where the small slice of
-
cucumber is there. Ah, your vestewas I got, I got.
-
But everyone here you have something that you that that
-
that really you, you feel comfortable with. And I used
-
to always relish the opportunity to eat. Then one day
-
when I started to grow up a little bit more,
-
earned my own money. I remember I was seventeen years old.
-
I started working in Giant. I get my own salary.
-
Now I can't order guye pey from Kai home. I
-
can order Kai Pei for now, I tell you what.
-
And then it's slowly I gain more and more. Now
-
I can order Chassi kuie co guy ah. I tell
-
you I love it. I love chicken rice. But I
-
just remember that the good oldies where where we used
-
to to earn so little, have so little in our pocket.
-
And then when when the Lord says, and I found
-
I learned the concert of Type, and I go like,
-
oh oh, I earned I earned one thousand ring. I
-
remember there was my first internship pay. And there's a
-
lot for intern some we don't even get paid. So okay,
-
so so ah, so I did you what this? And when
-
you start earning it, and you go like one thousand
-
and then one hundred ring, and you go like, oh my,
-
that's okay, no problem. But you start to get more
-
and more and you start to go like you you, you, you,
-
You earn your first ten thousand and then twenty thousand
-
and a million, and you start wondering and then you
-
start calculating, I'm talking to my own life. Is it
-
net or is it gross? WI should un we shouldn't
-
do it? Type the gross figure or the net figure.
-
And then another question bonus type or not? Oh, getting
-
a bit quiet here? And then another question people give
-
you pao m poo type or not. Then you start
-
the question. You know technically the person that gives tipe ma,
-
so why I have to type? We start questioning, We
-
start putting in the dead left, right center, and then
-
we start we forget that actually, everything that you have
-
belongs to the Lord. Everything that you have, guys, belongs
-
to the Lord. Believe it's in the house. Amen, let
-
us not grow and grow more wise when we start
-
to get our wallets and pockets filled. That's why the
-
scripture says that Jesus loves the little children because you
-
explain the concept of tithe to the little children. Now
-
to them, no problem. You know, undring get empower, no problem.
-
Then you get nah nah daddy nah, just takler. I
-
found out this about myself because I used to have
-
this pencil Piggie Bang from may Bang. My mother always
-
teach me or tiding right back. Then whatever gift to me.
-
Just take a problem, because young Mama one day she
-
take that whole pencil, bigybang to me and then she say,
-
look at how much is inside these coins on here
-
amounted up to fire undering it coins he imagined one
-
Sendla to send La, got other other sendings. The God, everything,
-
everything is there. I just want to encourage us to
-
not lose focus on what truly matters. Amen, Don't lose
-
focus on what truly matters. God has given each and
-
every one of you here the ability to earn money.
-
Let us all forget him. Amen. So we spoke about
-
God's diet. We spoke about the four layers, right, breaking
-
it down to four layers. Number one, God's diet. What
-
is the diet of God? And we draw this from
-
the Book of Daniel. Yeah, the Book of Daniel that
-
speaks about when Daniel was tested, right, was tested, and
-
he was saying that you know what tests me? Test
-
me or not defil myself of the King's delicacies, because
-
I purposed in my heart when I was younger, I
-
will not defound myself. Right. And God's died is what
-
fruits and vegetables. That's all for ten days? And you
-
know the story. He came out stronger, looking more, you know,
-
buffer whatever it is, full of wisdom. But that is
-
his diet, God's diet, and what's God's died for you.
-
Yesterday I spoke to the teens and I told them,
-
you know, a lot of a lot of things in
-
this day and age. You may be chasing after. You
-
may be thinking that church service, youth service. You know,
-
I want to come and I want to feel like
-
you know, I want to feel God's presence. I want
-
to feel, you know, the annoying thing. I want to
-
be in the atmosphere, you know, deem, the lights and
-
everything is great, you know. Speaking to young people and
-
being a young person want myself. I'm still young now.
-
A lot of people tell me that right still young,
-
they start trying to grow up, trying to look a
-
little bit older. I don't know where it's working. Maybe
-
it's not, but so okay, made me lose my tray
-
of thought. Well, I was speaking to young people and
-
I was telling them that a lot of them they
-
have a perspective of what youth ministry is, or youth
-
ministry means my parents cannot be with me. Youth ministry
-
means when I share about my challenges. I cannot let
-
my parents hear why because I don't want them to
-
know what's the idea of youth ministry and for me
-
and for this church and for what we believe in.
-
What we're truly called to is to really make disciples,
-
right disciples that make the difference. That is who we
-
are and that's what we continue to do. And that's
-
our diet, that's our vegetables and fruits. Let other people
-
have the meat, no problem. Yeah, And I'm not talking
-
about other churches. And that's their own vision. That is
-
who they are of us. If the world is well
-
to say that, you know what, sex before marriage is
-
the way to go. You're the death first. Our diet
-
is no word. If God says keep yourself poor, pure,
-
for you poor, blessed are those who are poor in spirit,
-
none of you want to say, am into that. Ah.
-
So what is his diet? Yeah, he's died. And the
-
next thing was his daily bread every morning every day?
-
What are you consuming? You know? The israel Lights when
-
they were given that the Lord will provide for them
-
every morning, they're waiting for their daily bit. You know,
-
they're waiting for manna to drop from heaven because when
-
the mana drops right and if it grows stale, you
-
can no longer use it. Can you see that desperation
-
to long for God's word to come, God's provision to come.
-
They were waiting desperately. Every day without fail, they will
-
go out there and they'll wait for the man to drop.
-
And that is his daily bit for us. That is
-
our attitude, that there's a posture that we should have
-
towards his word. And I don't know how many words
-
are doing it. I challenge myself daily as well, because
-
it's important. It's important to imbue yourself with the word
-
of God. Amen. Amen. And the third thing is our
-
tithe What is our part to play? You know, once
-
out ten percent ex Church permits the first of January
-
to pray. Yes it's a popping holiday, Yes there's in
-
your opinion, there are better things to do. But the
-
Lord is asking of you, what are you willing to tithe?
-
Because I kind of shared last week that he tithes
-
ten percent of his time unto the Lord. That means
-
two point four hours every day is meant for the Lord.
-
That means he's thinking, he's praying his quiet time he's
-
talking to people about Jesus. That is the least that
-
he can offer unto the Lord. What is our tithe?
-
Upon hearing the vision? What are we saying? Are we saying?
-
You know? I know one part in the church says
-
this year, I'm going to commit more my time to
-
the young people. And I'm looking at this person and
-
go like, wow, your God said right, because it can't
-
just be me, right, it can't just be me because
-
they're growing. Honestly, they're green tile of Meda. You ask
-
all the youths, you know, all the teens. They're greing,
-
tired on my face, they don't see me anymore. But
-
if you give them a fresh face, they go like wow.
-
And I was so encouraged when this person came to
-
me and say I'm going to solve more my time
-
in the young people. I say, praise a lot, brother,
-
and a lot reward you, and I'm going to do
-
We're going to do this together. We're gonna do this together.
-
So what is your tithe in respond to the vision?
-
What is your tithe? And then finally the eleven, what
-
is that thing that will cause you to rise? What
-
is that thing that we're going to cause you to
-
move because it's one thing to type. It's one thing
-
to type it. Did you give me back my fifty
-
get a? It's one thing, it's running the tithe but
-
it's another thing to give. Yeah, it's another thing to
-
give the action. What is the leven? Okay, So there's
-
the four fore thoughts we have. And for this week,
-
as we wrap up the final part of the Vision
-
I'm Taking series, we're gonna go into some final thoughts,
-
some final thoughts for us. Right as we summarize, your
-
book says it should be it should be the same
-
for everyone across the board. Amen, Amen, it should be
-
the same for everyone across the board. Example, everyone downloads
-
God's Daily Bread. Everyone ties. Everyone is centralized in our
-
spirit and lingo across the world, not just in Malaysia. Amen.
-
You know our brothers me and my brother is uh
-
Sunny and John as we and some sometimes c G
-
when he's free and available. Sometimes we run this pickaball club, right,
-
uh and we we we sometimes yeah, one one in
-
seventies is sometimes right. And there's this thing called pedal stacking. Yeah,
-
better stacking. We stack our pedals so that it gets
-
turns to play. You know. I believe that the four
-
of us, as we learn this and as we do
-
this together, it will be weird if one person say, okay,
-
it's just stick anywheller. You know, you want to go
-
your Q right. So when when let's say, for example,
-
I'm stacking and then Sonny is playing, and then I
-
go like, yeah, and you want to go, you gola,
-
you go and player. And when I'm playing and then
-
John is stacking, then John has his own thing. You know,
-
if you are so and so skilled them you can play.
-
If you're so and so skilled, then you can blame me. No,
-
he doesn't do that. He's very kind. Yeah. But the
-
point I'm trying to make here is that all four
-
the example is united in the same way that we
-
do things right. We have a we have a protocol
-
and we go like, okay, we're got to follow this
-
protocol whether we like you or not. Yeah. So there's
-
the same way. Everyone across the board is centralized in
-
our spirit and in our lingo across the world, not
-
just in Malaysia. So I pray that when we declare
-
the vision Habakuk two fourteen, for the should be filled
-
with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as
-
the water covers the sea. I pray that each and
-
everyone of us in this room, as we hear the vision,
-
you have the same lingo as well. You know. I
-
pray that's our prayer, that's our pastest prayer, that wherever
-
we go right, that is what we believe in. We
-
we we we we pray that we will not have
-
a situation where one person say, I, actually, you know
-
what knowed to serve, knowed to serve. You know, I'm
-
already a believer. I already accept whatever what God gave
-
to me freely. I fully should I receive. Yeah, and
-
I'm destined for heaven. And that said, and you are,
-
and you are I believe so as well. That's God's salvation.
-
It's free. It's free for each and everyone of you
-
to receive. But what is our part to play? For
-
God so loved the world that he gave his only
-
godden son. He loved you. He loved you, and I
-
shared I think a few weeks ago. That is interesting
-
that it's a command. It's a command, is a command
-
to love? Why did God command is to love him?
-
Have you ever thought about it? And the quick answer
-
is this, because he knows. He knows that if you
-
do not love him, you do not choose to love him,
-
you will love something else, something will feel your heart.
-
And when you start to feel your heart with something
-
else that is not of the Lord, you are destined
-
for trouble. You're destined for trouble because you put that
-
thing over God and you forget who he is. And
-
because he loves you so much, he knows, he knows
-
that your heart there's desires for love to feel that gad.
-
But whatever you feel that get with, there will always
-
be that gat that only can be filled by the
-
love of Jesus. And because he knows that, it's a
-
command for us to love him. Amen. So I pray
-
that it's the same. It should be the same, right
-
for everyone across the world. You know, in exchange we
-
have a distinct called community, right, and I know for
-
all our literatures as well. And it's so important, right,
-
It's so important to have a community that really believes
-
in one another, community that really stands for one another. Right,
-
especially when things are tough, especially when things are not
-
going well, it's good to have someone you know, you
-
know that someone is praying for you, you know that
-
someone is supporting you on and doing this together. Even
-
you know the club that I that I love and
-
I watch called Liverpool. We're going through a very tough time.
-
My condolences to the club. We just lost yesterday treat
-
to the Bournemouth. Thank god I didn't stay up to
-
watch it. They didn't regret it now. But it's a
-
tough time. But we have a very very famous tack line,
-
you never walk alone. Yeah, you never walk alone in
-
the dark ages. You never walk alone. And that's one
-
thing that the church should learn to do. So you
-
will never walk alone. Yeah, you never walk alone. We're
-
not walking alone. Let's continue to be there for one another,
-
because no one will build extrac alone. The power of
-
community will get us to places. And the last thought
-
that we have, the final thought is that it's time right,
-
It should be time to store new wine into new
-
wine skins. That the gap that is for you to
-
feel to storm new wine into new wine skins. But
-
it's going to be a lot of new radical ideas
-
that God would give to us to get the job done.
-
You know, just last week I found out that our
-
brothers and sisters from Masa. I don't know if you
-
all remember this college, this university that's now a hospital.
-
They usually join our ten forty five service, one or
-
two of them. And I just found out because we
-
have been praying, We've been praying for them right. In fact,
-
we will be praying for us, pray for the laborers
-
that we go and then the howards is plentiful. It is.
-
And I found out last week as I'm conversing. One
-
of the topics is like, the beat of my mind
-
is like you needed to fetch you. We'll go and
-
fetch you, right. But in the battle of my mind,
-
I'm like, wow, we need more people. To imagine if
-
let's say twenty of them say you want to come
-
the hell right? Are we ready? The great Passion? I
-
believe extra is ready. It's just fifteen minutes down the
-
wad anyways. But guess what I found out. There's a
-
free shutter service from Masa to Eco century More. Only
-
it goes a dream Aller, not any other giz like
-
elect But for such a time as this, it cannot
-
be a constant coincidence. It's like everything is in place. Really,
-
you just got to get kicked out. You just got
-
to send yourself out right as you pray for the laborers.
-
It's in order, it's in place. You just have to
-
be ready. Amen. But there's gonna be a lot of
-
new radical ideas that God would give to us to
-
get a job done. Remember, it's not about us but
-
bringing glory to God. It is not about us. It's
-
not about our company getting the glory. It's not about
-
our church getting the glory. No, everything that we do,
-
I pray will point back to Jesus. And when everything
-
that we do, the food that you serve in espresso,
-
you know why, even why this expresso even works so
-
hard to produce such a good spread for us. You
-
do you think it's just specifically for all of us?
-
I don't. I think perhaps one of the small portion. Yes,
-
But if a new person comes and they go like whoa,
-
you would you would go the distance just for me,
-
just to prepare for me. Right, Remember, it is not
-
about us. Let's never say it has never been done before,
-
because if the right brothers were to say it has
-
never been done before, we wouldn't have aeroplanes today. Imagine
-
you're not flying now like with age. Everybody can fly, right,
-
but back then those historians I might be getting this wrong.
-
By nineteen zero six, is it? None of you know?
-
Nineteen zero six is right? Right, brothers create the airplane
-
that can fly? Or you reody? Don't know? Yeah? I
-
so you know, I need the nineteen zero six hours.
-
The students here go Google, can go to Google. But
-
nineteen something early nineties, it means it is a the
-
student oheah, I trust you. Okay, someone go and check. Okay. Anyways,
-
something the Right brother is imagine. But but then do
-
you think the concept when Moses was around? Do you
-
think the concept of flying was very normal? I don't
-
think so. But until is it correct? Okay? I was,
-
I was about three years around. Yeah, imagine the one
-
day they said, no, it's not possible. It has never
-
been done before. I don't know. What's the attitude that
-
the Right Brothers had can imagined for the first time,
-
you know, for the first time something will take flight.
-
But today we're flying everywhere Japan, Career, US for hours
-
and hours. But it started somewhere somewhere. Let's never say
-
it has never been done before. Only the Westerners can
-
do it, you know, the Westerners lead the way. Come on,
-
Malaysia bullet again. We gotta we gotta term Malaysia bulet.
-
Do we really believe it when we say Malaysia ballet
-
or when our or in our only or we only
-
believe it when it comes to lead you ang way,
-
that's when we believe Malayia ble Malaysia bulet can get
-
gold medal in the Olympics. But wat the Polos guys
-
go and compete in Sea Games? Do we actually believe
-
that they can win? Because when when Joe ran I
-
was expecting, hey, come on, you can do it. But
-
whatever you call it back, we love you anyways, right,
-
but we believe, we believe, we believe that you can
-
when our power lifts live go and compete. We believe,
-
we believe with all our mind that they can. Because
-
when we say Malaysia Bulley, I prayed that we really
-
mean it. Malaysia bole I don't know. You know, persons
-
preach this a few months ago. Don't just say something
-
but at the back of your mind you already say
-
that it's gonna feel you go into something, right, Yeah,
-
Canla Kenler can can one by the bed of he
-
Dion Dion cannot cannot cannot, of course cannot because God
-
answers that. God here's that that's your prayer, you know, God,
-
here's the prayer, in the genuine prayer that is going
-
on your head. That's why sometimes you may not experience
-
a healing. That's what pass sid a few weeks ago.
-
You may not experience a healing because you don't even
-
believe that cancer can be healed. You don't even believe
-
that cancer can be healed. And with the church, and
-
the church starts doing it, the Western Church starts doing it.
-
There need less follow why, I tell you what? Then
-
the Black Church, what are so happening? You know what
-
they think of their shoe and then they start swolling
-
in the air. They throw it to the to you.
-
They get all rowdy and tell you what. It's so
-
uplifting the msp over there, come on. It can be
-
done in Malaysia too. That's why they say the team
-
is revival. Something needs to be stirred in our hearts,
-
stirred to the point where you know, and I know
-
that we can do this because of who is in us.
-
Event if God is for us, who shall be against us?
-
With God? Nothing is impossible. Amen. So let's be radical, friends,
-
Let's be ridical and believe that one day, one day,
-
Let's be history makers and become the reference for others
-
to follow. That's who we believe we are called to be.
-
No matter what the circumstance is, as long as it
-
gives glory to God and it aligns with the vision
-
that God has given to our house, we shall continue
-
to do it. Amen. I believe that the way forward
-
is to grow small, because if you read Scripture, you'll
-
know that the persecution that will come away is going
-
to be tougher and tougher. And the only way for
-
us to continue to congregate in the future is by
-
growing small. Because they can close the churches down. They
-
can and they will if we are following scripture. I'm
-
not just saying this specific church, but they can and
-
if they want to, they will. But what they can't
-
close down is your homes. What they can't close down
-
is your small groups that you meet. And I pray
-
that we'll be ready for when the day comes. Okay,
-
don't just plan forward by looking backward what we're used
-
to and what we're comfortable with now. Now, in next church,
-
we have a saying that we are a movement, not
-
a monument. No, it's good to have a reference point
-
it's good to see something and go like, wow, that's great.
-
Right next colag the morning started with ten people and
-
we grew to where we are today. But for some
-
of us, now this becomes the state of school and
-
we're like, okay, that's it, that's enough. We planted a fifteen.
-
I'm going to say something. Now, we planted them forty five,
-
So what's stopping us from planting one fifteen riches? Look
-
at me, Liliah, Really, Who's who's the next CBC to
-
arise from this place? Who is the next ACPC to
-
rise from this place? Yeah? Who's the next time commanded
-
for ex collar communing to rise from this place which
-
we already assigned? We are really assigned. And I shall
-
not reveal who, but I guess he has been revealed.
-
Praise a lot, all right, Philippin's three twelve sixteen. Not
-
that I have already attained or I'm already perfected, but
-
I pressed on that I may lay hold of death,
-
for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold for me. Brethren,
-
I do not count myself to have apprehended, but one
-
thing I do forgetting, forgetting those things which are behind,
-
and reaching forward to those things which are a hit.
-
I press towards the goal for the price of the
-
upper call of God in Christ Jesus. That will let us,
-
as many are as mature, have this mind, and if
-
in anything you think otherwise, God will reveal even this.
-
You never the us to the degree that we have
-
already attained. Let us walk by the same rule. Let
-
us be of the same mind. Now, we're not telling
-
you how to run your business. Page this and share
-
this to the leaders. He told us that he's not
-
telling us how to run a business. You run your business,
-
how you are meant to run your business, and talking
-
about your own personal life. But we are showing you,
-
or in lack of a better word, teaching or guiding
-
the church on how we should run God's business and
-
his house and his kingdom. It is a ten percent
-
that we need to administer. It is a ten percent
-
that we need administer. So we are just showing you
-
that this is what we have to do. The ninety
-
percent that is yours. What you do about the vision,
-
that is you. What you do about about your life,
-
that's you. You know. Yesterday Elder Roles, as she was
-
sharing to the young ones, she said this one courte.
-
Apparently it's a very famous quote that those that are
-
involved in training always you. Right, there was this person,
-
a lady, there's a very very famous trainer. She came
-
and then she said this one thing. You know what,
-
I have eight hours with you. I've eight hours with you.
-
I will just give you what I have, whether you
-
listen or not. The one that loses out is you
-
because I'm still getting paid. Then the lady said, I'm
-
still getting paid. But you, on the other hand, if
-
you are not participating, you're not listening, you just waste
-
eight hours of your time. So that's on you, hah. Right.
-
So there's one thing about a vision as well. Right
-
when we receive it, especially if the Lord speaks to us,
-
the Lord has already revealed to each area on of us.
-
Now is up to us to see what is our
-
part to play? Amen? What is our part to play?
-
We're gonna give you some hints for success. Right. We
-
can to be successful with fulfilling this vision if we
-
There are a few points over here, and in the
-
first part here it says make disciples, make disciples, and
-
what make disciples equate to is to follow me, all right,
-
not just me? Right? Bad Christ. You meant to follow Jesus. Yeah,
-
follow Jesus. Do it in smaller groups, think about one
-
or two, right, think about one person that you are
-
given the privileged to journey with in your life, in
-
your in your circle group, Like, how how can you
-
even take it to the next level? Right? Some always
-
may think that, you know what, I'm already of a
-
sudden agianaler. Perhaps it's time to retire, uh and to
-
you know, just receive. But let me just break something
-
to you. I believe very strongly that until the day
-
we are called home to build a Lord, there is
-
a plan and purpose that He has for us. You know,
-
why else is he still keeping us alive in this
-
suffering world? Right? Why there must be a purpose that
-
we are still alive today, that we're still breeding today.
-
And I believe that as long as you're alive, you
-
should continue yourself the lot. Sollow Jesus, follow Jesus. Bland
-
churches on every street and in every school, bring church
-
nearer to you. Now for some of you, and you
-
see this, you go like, that's the job of the
-
church pastor. He should be the one planting the church. Now,
-
let me talk about church We're not just talking about
-
a building, and you know that they're talking about wherever
-
you are that church. They're talking about wherever you are
-
in your company. To those that in your company that
-
may not know Christ, that is their only reference of Church,
-
that is the only reference of who Jesus is. You
-
you because you are made in the image of God,
-
and wherever you are, you should reflect the line of Jesus.
-
The next church. You should bring church closer, closer and
-
closer to those that have yet to experience the saving
-
grace of the knowledge of Jesus Christ a church with
-
us in another in another in another session, he says
-
that a church is a disciple. A church can be
-
a building, a church can be a place, but a
-
church must be a disciple. That is, when we when
-
we say that we plan ex Osaka, we plant ex Germany,
-
we plant x UK, we're actually not planting churches. We're
-
planting disciples. Because planting a disciple would mean that this
-
person is ready to follow Jesus. We're not just planning
-
a church for the sake of it. We plan disciples first,
-
and the disciples plan the church. Planting a disciple produces
-
a leader when passes started x Osaka. You know, by
-
the grace of God and all glory goes back to him.
-
The church is growing now, Amen. But you can ask
-
pas Benji and Pasa Michelle. We have to predationer know
-
this this couple as a leader there now. Friend still
-
still look up to them a lot, and the work
-
that they do. I don't know. I'm not sure anyone
-
you're fluent in the Japanese language. Anyone's fluent. I know someone,
-
I know someone that's fluent. See you. Yes, it is easy.
-
The language to learn not easy, right, I want to
-
learn Mandarin and doesn't want to diary.
-
Right.
-
I kin't even learn Mandarin, you know, I don't understand English.
-
Got twenty four easy, twenty four, twenty six, twenty six
-
words because I take you and I are of it,
-
decided twenty four had little but Japanese. I don't know.
-
It's a different anywhere, right, It's like so difficult to learn.
-
And then Korean for the matter. My wife went to
-
Korea the media other day and she's like telling me,
-
she's like everywhere she goes, it's like, hey, this is
-
on Rila. She can't read, you know, I'm like, whoa
-
this girl? Just spend two weeks and she can Recordinally, Oh,
-
I tell you what, that's not me. That's not me
-
Mandrin for me cannot cannot. But Japanese is like, it's
-
something so so different. And you can ask us the
-
Benji and Master Michelle, how much struggle they actually go through.
-
Can you imagine to reach out to the population that
-
does not actually have it in the culture. They actually
-
believe in something that else they can't even explain sin,
-
It's something so foreign to them, but yet they choose
-
to obey, and disciples were planted and through that and
-
true that a guy what's his name? I forgot his name,
-
Taka Takashia is it? Is it? I think Sola right
-
or some gayla. He was then found in ext Osaka right.
-
And then now he's a translator one year later. Trust
-
you think, so you know, one year ago to just
-
accept the Christ, really take it his life. I think
-
it's accept the Christ salvation that means the first gen
-
And then now he's translating the Word of God. Can
-
you imagine without the faithfulness, without the tie, without the
-
leaven that Basabenjisa Miha surrendered themselves to, this would not
-
be possible. Bassa Benjia our missionaries that we send to
-
ex Osaka, Okay, to Japan. So fronding a disciple produces
-
a leader. Matthew nineteen twenty six says, but Jesus look
-
at them and say to them with men, this is impossible.
-
We look at Bassa Benji, a Malaysian. We look at
-
Bassa Michelle, another Malaysian, and then men will say, there's
-
no way these two Malaysians are going to reach the Japanese.
-
No way. We need to learn run the japan Japanese right,
-
it's got a kais and all and everything come here.
-
We need to learn from them. So efficient, the way
-
they do things so quick. It's not they are so
-
successful in what they do. That's what a way will say.
-
They need to reach us, not rereach them in terns
-
of knowledge, but with men this is impossible. But we've
-
got all things huh possible. We've got Bassa Benji and
-
Basia Michelle will have been able to bring glory to
-
the name of Jesus Amen in Japan. And and and
-
and we know that at least for now, there's already
-
one couple that is rooted down. We know, we know,
-
and there are many more that are coming and visiting.
-
But we know there's also a baptism that occurred in
-
the seas of Japan. How cool is that? To get
-
baptized the seas of Japan. It's amazing and and and
-
and and and. A few years ago, we wouldn't have
-
to think that this is possible. We wouldn't have think
-
it's possible learning a new language from scratch. And it
-
takes effort to learn a new language. How many of
-
you ready to learn thy? Yeah? Our friends and our friends.
-
Rachel is literally a tin now. She can speak so
-
so fluent. Every time she goes to Exchang Mai, she's
-
like one of them, sabody car you know that car
-
cop con crop and that's all I know, corn Cob
-
that should shop stop there not. I don't know what
-
I'm saying. Something wrong, right, Matthew phone I d says
-
that he said to them, follow me and I'll make
-
you vicies of men follow me. You know, sometimes we
-
look at this vision and we go like, yeah, I
-
tell you what, I tell you what? Yeah. Pasta may
-
be saying whatever he's saying up there. The speakers will
-
be saying whatever he's saying. Up there. But I tell
-
you what, that's because he's a pastela. That's because he's
-
a leader. That's why he's he has owners, That's why
-
he can do it. No, I tell you what, Friends,
-
I am the same as you. You shiver, I shive more. Okay,
-
In fact, I'm shivering now. I just found out yesterday
-
that I have a syndrome. Yes, I just found ou
-
yesterday that I was to get my hand and I
-
go like, oh, my hand is moving? Is it normal?
-
I don't know he's moving. I'm shivering. Await, Yeah, I'm
-
shivering as well. Right, I just thought out yesterday. Yeah,
-
me here as well. Praise the Lord. Lord will make
-
me hold Alilujah. So let's not worry about it because
-
God will enable us. He will enable us. Right, met
-
you for follow me? You know sometimes you may be worried,
-
what what am I going to do with this vision?
-
How am I going to do this? God said, follow him?
-
And and and did you know that if you don't
-
know where to start, the would have God? And And
-
I learned this one day while I was talking to
-
a young teenager. He said, actually, then I really don't
-
know how to follow Jesus. What can what should I do?
-
Can you give me? Can you give me clear instruction
-
or what to do? Some people follow instruction very well.
-
And I said, okay, if you really want to follow Jesus,
-
you're to first read this word right. So if you
-
don't know what Jesus do and what he meant by
-
following him, then read the ten comments. Do you follow
-
the ten commments? Do you honor your parents? Follow Jesus
-
and the honor parents? I said, because that's one would
-
have God say some of us were we are saying, Oh,
-
I haven't heard the Lord spoke to me yet? What
-
does following Jesus even mean? Friends? He has spoken already?
-
Did you know that he has already spoken? Did you
-
know that you should not defound yourself with the king's delicacies?
-
Because you purpose in your heart that that that that
-
story right is not just ment for their neil. You
-
know of the Bible. It's just it's not just men
-
for him, it's men for all of us. Because as
-
a word of God, it is epical to us. Thou
-
shalt not give to caesars. What is caesars? Give to God?
-
What is God? There's many things that we if we
-
have not heard aud believe from the Lord Boom now
-
to this place. There are many things that we have
-
already known that he has spoken. And perhaps and perhaps
-
maybe I maybe touching on some soft sensitive spots here,
-
but maybe we're not even listening to yet. Maybe we're
-
not even obeying yet. Amen, have you really forgiven everyone
-
that we know? The offended us? I struggle. I struggle
-
with the forgiving, but forgive, forgive ken, but I will
-
not forget that. Can you imagine if God look at
-
us that way? You want to forgive this? Sure, forgive you,
-
but I will not forget. I will not forget Rasa
-
what you did to me. Huh you see that your
-
house in heaven? How small you will be? Can you
-
imagine if God kira with us my balance that calls
-
us must balancer? Can you imagine that's time doing accounting.
-
That's the one thing that may give you the most
-
stress on k It's called what I don't know what
-
is it? Balance? Shit? Yeah? So stress, Candl Palace nights
-
can all sleep because Cannon Bellace have to find wish
-
wish part didn't balance? Right? Do you imagine God actually
-
treat us that ten percent time? I don't need it
-
you know, but actually, yeah, generally to December you tipe
-
eight times out of it, out of the whole month,
-
twelf times. You need time eight times four ties in life?
-
Can you imagine you got actually thinks that way an
-
x that way. So if if God is not doing
-
it with us, and we know he's not, because he's
-
not that kind of God he desires a relationship with us,
-
then why are we doing it to others? When I
-
when I, when I, when I talk about forgiveness, right,
-
I truly believe, I truly believe that there will come
-
a day and time where forgiveness is equated to forget forget,
-
because this world is saying I can forgive, but I
-
cannot forget. The Lord challenged me one day that why
-
are you succumbing yourself to the ways of this world?
-
Because that's what the world says. No, there's a term
-
that doesn't the term doesn't belong in the Bible. It is,
-
it's not it's not much. Chapter four, verse the twenty
-
six it says thou shall forgive and not forget. Can
-
you can anyone point me to that kind of scripture
-
in the Bible? No, stop say that. In fact, I
-
can point to the opposite, because what does seven times
-
seven even mean? What is seven times seventy seven times?
-
What does it even mean? In a day? You know
-
that means you forgive until you forget la getting on.
-
You keep counting one time forget, forgive, second time forgive,
-
time forgift, fourth time forgive. No is your forgive until
-
it becomes a lifestyle. So I show that you don't
-
cry anymore. You stop key rying, you stop counting, right,
-
you stop counting. Let by guns be bygones, move on
-
and move forwards. Now this message may be a bit challenging. Now,
-
trust me when I say this, I personally have a
-
story right that if I share, you will know that
-
it's very very difficult. It's a very difficult season that
-
I went through my life, and it's very hard to
-
forget that the Lord has allowed me after practice. You know,
-
it takes practice. It takes like, okay, you know what,
-
I'm just not going to care anymore. Yes, I forgiven.
-
But now I can say that perhaps I'm getting to
-
a stage where I think I forgetting already, I even
-
forgetting details. I used to have night mess when I
-
was younger. I used to have night mess recounting every
-
detail of what happened to me by this person, what
-
he faltered me and me. I used to have nightmass,
-
I used to wake up cold sweat just thinking about it.
-
But now I am set free. I no longer think
-
about it anymore. And how can that even happened? It's
-
because I start to forgive, forgive, forgive, and do appointed. Actually,
-
you know what, I forget details. So the word of God,
-
the word of God is important. And for some of us,
-
if you don't know where to start and start with
-
the word of God, turn turn to any pitch of
-
the Bible. Honestly, I try this. There is a verse
-
stess applicable to you. There is a verse stess epical
-
to Yuan. Love your neighbor. You know, you know what
-
Jesus saying. Jesus already said, love your neighbor? Are you
-
loving your neighbor? The Are you loving your neighbor? Are
-
you inviting them to your home? Are you? Are you
-
are you making friends with them? Are you talking to them?
-
These are these are something that God the Lord has
-
challenged me with. And I'm just going to relate a
-
challenge to each and every one of you. Okay, So
-
let's go fishing. I don't know how many you like
-
to fish. I was once introduced to the concept of fishing.
-
It's not fun because you just sit there the whole
-
day and you just wait for the fish to bite
-
the bit. It's not easy. But let's go fishing. Let's
-
go fishing with the power of God. To fish, we
-
need an effective bit. God leave us alone. Follow me
-
and I will make you fishes of men. Follow me,
-
and I will make you fishes of men. God did
-
not leave us alone as fishermen without bait. The bit
-
is the power of God is called the supernatural anointing.
-
The anointing, the signs and wonders and miracles and the
-
healings and deliverance. The Kingdom comes first. Then God gives
-
us the power and it all goes back to God
-
for his glory Matter six thirteen. And the Lord's prayer
-
by saying for yours is the Kingdom, the power, the
-
glory forever and ever. Amen. Amen, Thank you. God has
-
given us the bit, and the bait is the power.
-
The power is the Holy Spirit. When you go fishing,
-
you're not alone. If you go alone fishing, you will
-
not catch the fish. But if you go with the
-
power the Holy Spirit. You'll be able to because when
-
you speak and you really believe it, miracles, signs and
-
wonders will happen. Amen. I want to encourage all of
-
us if you have not tried it, activate your faith.
-
H really believe it, really believe it when it comes
-
to the supernatural and when the people see. And that's
-
how the Bible says that, well, when the people see, right,
-
the miracles that follow, they will believe. Amen, the science
-
and wonders. Amen. Now what's the issue. The issue here
-
is the lack of confidence? What's that was remaining? Like,
-
you know, what's the kind of you kind of ship
-
the other day that every time he goes to funeral, Uh,
-
he will actually try to pray for the day to rise.
-
And I think she is here before and and you
-
you you heard it from him, right, you know. I
-
being his uh follower, I follow after him and I try.
-
I was actually one day quite uh and convicted to
-
try it myself with my own dad. Yeah I didn't.
-
I didn't, Huh. I didn't, Okay, So I don't know
-
what I saw his face and I cannot okay. So
-
it's it's it's it's just, it's just but but what
-
is stopping us from doing something like that? Right? What
-
is stopping us from doing something that is the lack
-
of confidence? Imagine if the prophet that was share about
-
the one that ran around raising the dat one, do
-
you think he will have an issue of a lack
-
of confidence because he has seen the thing before writes
-
on the date. Really, if you see the team, then
-
what's the what's the problem with fourteen of fifteen or sixteen?
-
The issue here is the lack of confidence? All right?
-
How do you feel when you hear that our partners
-
will healed of cancer? But what do you feel? Do
-
you attribute it to the medical technology that he is
-
to ask of today? Right? The feeling of confidence? How
-
many of you have felt it before? You like this girl? Right?
-
You don't know what the girl like? You're not You're scared.
-
You scared the post because you don't know what you
-
want to say. But if I say a little bit,
-
we splain in the year. Actually, you know like you
-
and you know there's an whole inside you're confident confidence
-
because you know what you know? She like you were Okay. However,
-
we often struggle and ministry due to the lack of confidence.
-
So let's let's break down confidence, and then we're going
-
to close very quickly confidence. We're gonna start with the
-
one in the middle. Confidence comes with results, Amen, confidence
-
comes with results. However, results does not just happen. Results
-
does not just happen. Results happen when we sow. Amen,
-
results happened when we sow the seed. Because scripture sees
-
when you saw, you shall read. Now. A very wise
-
person told me yesterday I was taking a conversation and
-
say that, hey, actually, have you ever thought about it?
-
And uhh, not name who, but have you ever thought
-
about it? That actually God planted the garden. Everything else
-
he spoke, but this one, but he planted. There's a
-
lot of concept about gardening in the Bible, and I
-
found it very intriguing when this person are showing me,
-
it was very intriguing. Right, that means be planting. I
-
don't know how many of you are gardeners. It actually
-
takes time for the thing to grow. And right, it's
-
not like your plants. Right, I don't know which blunder
-
is that. Besides, it takes time, right, And the concept
-
of gardening is the concept of planting, and the person
-
that is watering. Right. It could be Apollos, you could
-
be Paul right, but you are to plant it the seed.
-
You may not see the tree grow into its fullness,
-
but maybe your son or your daughter will, or your
-
brother or the person that you pass on that thing
-
to it will That's the concept of gardening, right. SoC says,
-
you shall sew and you shall rip. The hope is
-
that we don't keep just talking about the vision, sharing
-
or the vision. The hope is that one day we
-
will have the vision in our mind, in our hearts,
-
but start doing something about it. Because if you do
-
not sow, you are not reap. And if you don't reap,
-
you don't get the results. Reaping its results. And if
-
you sow, you reap. You start to see what suddenly
-
got two students from Marster come because because I obeyed
-
God and I went into that university, and suddenly out
-
of that two students came. Sally the confidence growdy. Now
-
you're no longer afraid when when you are asked to
-
go in again. Right, I don't know how many of
-
you again. The concept of earning, right, you you you
-
earn your first ring gate right? You know, not confident
-
your of your sales speech was weak. You just studied
-
a company. You stand up there, you like you like
-
cula the door to say, But suddenly you get your
-
first customer. And then from the first customer you go like,
-
I tell you what, I can't do this. But you
-
remember friends where you how you got there or she
-
spent countless nights preparing your presentation, talking to yourself. You're
-
the mirror, right, and then suddenly you know how you
-
are here and you're able to not preach. You're even
-
now to share what you think the pitch is the
-
sales speech. And then from one customer, second customer, the
-
customer now before long, before you know you have like
-
your audiblet is like twenty to thirty forty already right,
-
But it's not somewhere right. You still have to have
-
that first customer right, and the first customer you were
-
even willing to give for free. But you have to
-
sew soul. So I pray that as you hear this vision, right,
-
you have to play your part so so in the
-
lives of young people. Our young people have a great
-
future ahead of them. Amen. You choose to believe that
-
all of your children, they are very bright now but
-
it takes a village to raise a child. It takes
-
all of us because some of us may be serving.
-
And then a lady, your kid, perhaps being bright, may
-
do something that perhaps is not right. Do you go
-
like I tell you what, Let's find the father and mother,
-
ask him to come. But the parents are busy serving
-
God in other areas. Shouldn't you say that little girl
-
a little boy, you shouldn't be doing that. Right, So,
-
so into the lives of young people, and as you sow,
-
you will get the results. And as the results come,
-
you'll get the confidence. So as I started with that,
-
the first step is the conviction. The conviction. First, you
-
hear the vision. You hear the vision, you convicted by
-
the word of God. Then you experience a revival. As
-
you do that, clarity comes with r relation. Right, you
-
hear the vision, you read the word of God. The
-
word of God says thou shall love God. You must
-
love God. And that comes to revelation. How do you
-
love God? What do you do with this? Right? Then
-
you hear the path or you do this by growing small.
-
Now there's the condition, growing small as we are back
-
in the vision right now, and then you do it.
-
You say, okay, tell you what. I don't really know
-
whether it works or not, but let me try. Let
-
me try to grow small, let me try to reach
-
out to someone. And then suddenly you see that someone
-
come to church and you go like, WHOA actually works?
-
It works, and then you start to have courage. Courage
-
comes with resolve, conquer comes with very reliance, and celebration
-
comes to reward the second. The second part says, conviction
-
leads to clarity, Clarity leads to confidence, Confidence leads to courage,
-
Courage leads to conquering, and conquering leads to celebration. Don't
-
forget to celebrate, guys, don't forget to celebrate. The other
-
word for celebrate is giving glory the court. Amen, don't
-
forget to do that. Firs. John five fourteen. Now this
-
is the confidence that we have in him, that if
-
he asks anything according to his will, he hears us. Amen,
-
he hears us. Now on one young person said, well,
-
I tell you what, But then this word say, if
-
I ask anything of the Lord, he shall give it
-
to me. So I want a PS five Now I
-
said hello. It also continues says, according to his will.
-
So it's God's vital for you to have ps. Five.
-
If it is you should have it, there's a reason
-
why you won't have it now, because perhaps it's not
-
God feel for you. Amen, what are you gonna do
-
with at Ps? Five? We do have confidence because of
-
the lack of results, But let's pray that the results
-
will come as we begin to solve. So are you
-
even sowing? Pre Believers struggle your conviction. Believers struggle with confidence.
-
Leaders struggle with courage. That's why Joshua one nine says,
-
be strong and very courageous. Be strong and very courageous.
-
We are not alone. Thank God, we're not alone. He
-
has given us his Holy Spirit, sacred or for six.
-
So he answers, say to me, this is the word
-
of the Lord desirablele not by might, not by power,
-
but by the spirit, says the Lord of Hosts. You
-
know this verse, and we're going to close very soon.
-
This verse is one of my favorite words in the Bible,
-
and says this, if a son asks for a bread
-
or from any father among you, will he gives him
-
a stone. As as as poor as you are, I
-
believe you want to give the best that you can
-
do your children. And I declare that the spirit of
-
poverty will not be upon it anyone in this church.
-
You will not be upon anyone. And if you are struggling,
-
I pray the him of Jesus you'll be set free
-
for the spirit of poverty. However, However, as parents, I
-
know you may have one hundred thousand in your bank right,
-
you may have that and your children. The course that
-
she's about to take or he is all, is nine thousand.
-
I'm sure. I'm sure that you will consider it, even
-
though it means giving it all, because that's your king,
-
that's your blood, and you love that person. Or if
-
you ask for a fish, will he give him a
-
serpent instead of a fish. Or if he asks for
-
an age, will he give offer him a scorpion? If you, then,
-
being evil, know how to give this? But because we
-
have all seen and follows shur gglory of God. Amen,
-
If you, then, being evil, know how to give good
-
gives to your children. How much more will your heavenly
-
Father give the Holy Spirit to those who asked of him?
-
How much more will he give? Could it be that
-
our daily bread is the Holy Spirit? Could it be
-
that our daily bread is the Holy Spirit? Look for
-
eighteen nineteen says, the spirit of the Lord is upon me,
-
because he has anointed me to preach the gospel to
-
the poor. He has sent me to heal the broken hearted,
-
to proclaim liberty to the captives, and recovery to the
-
side of the blind, to set a liberty those who oppress,
-
to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord X two,
-
sixteen twenty one. But this is what was spoken to
-
by the prophet Joel, and he shall come to pass
-
in the last day, says God, that I will pour
-
out my spirit on all flesh. Your sons and your
-
daughters shall prophisye, your young men shall see visions, your
-
old men shall dream dreams. And on my men servant
-
and my maid servants will pour out my spirit those days,
-
and they shall prophesy. And I will show wonders in
-
heaven above, and signs of beneath blood and fire away
-
of smoke. The signs shall be turned into darkness the
-
morning to blood, before the coming of the great and
-
awesome day of the Lord should come the past that
-
whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be
-
Say that whoever calls the name of the Lord shall
-
be safe. Prophecy is the first thing that the Holy
-
Spirit does when he comes upon us. That's the first
-
thing he does. It changes our lingo. When we start
-
to speak the language of the Holy Spirit, we start
-
to prophesy. The Holy Spirit gives us the ability to prophisie.
-
If you're long enough in next years, you have known
-
that one the team that has been gilling to us
-
is prophecy to prophesie. But we will not be able
-
to prophisize without the annoying thing of the Holy Spirit.
-
So therefore, could it be that the Holy Spirit is
-
our Dailyborate prophesie, friends and family into your situation. Prophesy
-
in your elect in the name of Jesus. Read the scriptures. Prophesy.
-
Have to have the courage to actually do it. Have
-
the courage to actually say that you know what God
-
is good, you know you know what I tell you
-
what though I am weak, but He is strong. Have
-
the courage to say that if you don't know what
-
to prophesy, you don't what to pray. Open the scripture
-
and read from death. Blessed are those who are poe
-
and spirit blessed to those who are made. Come on,
-
continue to prophesy the Word of God over our lives.
-
Please do not Please, do not think that here you
-
need to know have a certain amount of wisdom to
-
in order to pray. Some wists may have that thought
-
in our mind. I pray that you'll be set free
-
because I tell you what. Just read. God giving you
-
the ability to read, you can just read. And as
-
you read, you practice, He will continue to anoint you
-
more and more. Amen, Romans force day, and is written,
-
I have made you a father of many nations in
-
the presence of him who he believed, God who gives
-
life to the day and calls those things which do
-
not exist as though they did, call those things as
-
though they did. They don't exist right now. Rite, Your
-
courage does not exist right now to lead a group
-
of people, to lead the homes, to lead a self group,
-
to lead a dream team, to lead your own life.
-
You may not have the courage now, but you can
-
call it into existence by prophesying. Start somewhere, Amen. First
-
Corindians fourteen twenty four to twenty five. But if all
-
prophesy and unbeliever or an uninformed person comes in, he
-
is convinced by all. He is convicted by all, and
-
thus the secrets of his heart are revealed and so
-
falling down on his face, he will worship God and
-
report that God is truly among you. Look at that.
-
That's the power of prophecy. Amen. A must eight eleven,
-
and we shall close. If this behold, the days of
-
the Lord are coming, says the Lord God, that I
-
will send a femine on the land, not a femine
-
of bread, nor urst for water, but of the hearing
-
of the words of the Lord. No person family, there
-
will be a femine of the word of God. And
-
if you don't really realize, it's already happening, but let
-
us pray that it will always be found in a
-
true ex church. Let us pray there one day when
-
we are in the prisons, we shall shout out, we
-
shall sing, and the prisons door will break, will be
-
set loose, and the change will be broken. It is
-
side first, then proclamation, what have you seen? However, what
-
you see, you must proclaim what you see your mass
-
proclaim that's the next light. Amen, And we will end
-
with this verse. And we'll do this together, and encourage
-
us to do this together. The pitch number fifty one, sorry,
-
fifty three says this. Now we can see. Let's speak
-
the speech Bubble says, chat right speak, preach. The class
-
suggests for claim, converse and courage with the world of
-
knowledge and wisdom. So let's stop talking. Let us stop
-
just talking, and let us start prophesying. Amen, Because it's
-
one thing to talk, is another to prophesy. That means
-
when we really release believe in our young people and say,
-
like just been one day is going to lead the church.
-
We do not just say it, but we prophesied. And
-
I can say this, OLDI you can one days a
-
leader of church. Yeah, because he can't, he can't praise
-
a lot he will, right, It's possible. It's possible that
-
a lot will enable maybe even a first generation Christian
-
to do so. You know, I forgot his name is
-
Bill Wilson or the one that got shot in the
-
chicks on right, shot a lot. Yeah. He is a
-
Sunday school teacher, uh and Sunday school leader, pastor bus conductor.
-
He raised it bus. He he he got shot in
-
the chick, you know, and there was a hole in
-
his chick. And he did this. He did this not
-
for the the titles, not even for the church, but
-
he did this for the little children. And today I
-
think he's seventy plus y today and he's still passed
-
through the children. So how many of you here about
-
seventy Please do not raise your hands, still serving the children,
-
still doing Sunday school, still doing ex kins. I don't
-
know whether Rachel and vision yourself at eighty years old
-
doing exkis by the grace of God. If God still
-
give give us breath, we shall continue to serve. I
-
don't know. And is there a limitation going like, hey,
-
you know what, after a certain age, the kids no
-
longer like me. No, I tell you what. It's whether
-
you are willing or not. So there is a space
-
for everyone in this church. Imen, there's a space for
-
everyone in this church to serve. Amen. So I pray
-
that as we are bene vision, we're done. We're done right,
-
we are done with the six part series. I hope
-
that from today onwards you will know in your heart
-
what is the vision that God has given the extra
-
that's number one and number two. The mission that He
-
has given to us is to make disciples that make
-
the difference, Amen. Pace fifty four is for you to
-
reflect at home, Okay, to do your own hard check.
-
What can you do to buy your own lack of confidence.
-
How can you turn me in the power the Holy
-
Spirit more each day? And what can you do to
-
focus more about speaking more in the coming days. I
-
pray you will reflect. I pray you will be blessed
-
and friends and family be close with this now that
-
we are hurt. Backing right right, just to come up.
-
Now that you have heard the vision and we have
-
unpacked it in his totality, what is your part to play? Amen?
-
Keep this moot with you, keep your notes, if you
-
scribble on it, you know what, take your time. By
-
the same time, I pray that you will continue to
-
taking in God's timing. Imen chanu, are you ready? It's January.
-
I don't think we will will do this again, at
-
least in the near future. Yeah. And if you miss
-
any butt go back to Spotify and you will get
-
it on our MDGs. Yeah. But it's time to move.
-
It's time to go. Amen.
-
