Unpacking the Vision of Acts Church Part 2 | Elder Kien Yiak

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

We hope this message will light up your day.

It's important for us to unpack the vision all right. Now,

I want to let you, don't want to encourage you

or whatever we're going to teach today. It's not just

the vision of the house. It's not just for you

to understand the vision of the house.

All right.

What we're going to teach today can be applied to

your daily lives. Can be applied to your daily lives.

We need to unpack I think a lot of times

in our daily life, if you're not wrong, we run

from one day to another day. A lot of things.

We don'tunpack one. We just rush through the day. The

moment you get up, right, it's either you look at

your handful, you look at different things. A lot of

messages and a lot of priorities come in. But very

seldom we unpacked the day. I mean by saying unpacked

the day, meaning we say that by then you finish,

finish your assignment at your workplace. Very seldom we go

back home to unpack what happened in the situation, what

happened in that circumstances. And most time, if you're not careful.

We keep repeating back the same things. I like to

use the analogy of us going to groceries to buy groceries.

We keep buying the same staff in our freees because

we seldom I'm packed. What's in our freezer? You know,

freezers are normally very deep, right, correct? You know it's

a freezer, all right, it's not cold storage at the workplace, okay, freezer, right, freezer,

very deep right right at the very bottom of your

like twenty little freezer.

Right by time you.

Reach the bottom, you don't, we forget what's inside there.

So recently I've saw a venture my freezer. I realized

I got three packers or four packets of different same spices,

but different dates expirated year twenty twenty one, year twenty

twenty three, year twenty and twenty five, right, only because

I forget that I actually have the thing in my freezer.

That's because we're very seldom unpacked, just because we can

squeeze in right, push it one more, it's come on,

it's it's another packet. Doesn't cost much, but if you

add up, it does cost something. So we have unpacked

to understand what we have in our life. Come on,

we have unpacked to understand be better the vision all

your personal life. We have unpacked to understand. Because one

there is understanding. One, there is knowledge. One, there is one,

there is enlightenment. We can undertake what's in front of

us many times, right, if we are honest with ourself.

We started this, We started this shail with vision.

And goals to quite that certain thing you want to achieve.

Okay, like every service I asked before, I'm sure some

of you have reached your ideal weight, ideal way y

have you set target that you want to lose, like

you know, like ten fifteen, twenty kilos? Right, I'm sure

so we have achieved it. Look at Charles, it's so

so lean right now right waiting as well? Right, Albert

and I are on the way. Yeah yeah, Albert always readly.

I'm on the way, all right. But you know we

start the year with with with with strength, with vision,

but you know, come set goal setting. We entered the

month of June July August. That this period I called

that that that that dessert or desert period. We get

lost with different parorities coring up, we get lost in

different pressure and very seldom we try to understand actually

what happened, what causes us to lose motivation.

So we need to unpack to understand it.

Maybe Dune, July August, the different pressure came in and

totally forgot what I set my goals to be in

the beginning of the year and stuff like that. So

once we understand, comes December, because oh my goodness, twelve

months has passed, I didn't do anything about my room.

Twelve months has part.

I didn't do anything abo I set up in the

beginning to set up to do right. So once we

have better understand, we can undertake. Okay, there's a brief

reminder of the big vision.

Very important.

It's very important for you and me to revisit the

big vision being the church all your personal life. Many

times we write vision right, friends, we write one time

it's get shot under the power of other visions. If

you understand, try to say so, let's revisit the vision.

Hyperical two fourteen. Hypercal two fourteen reminds us the earth

should be filled with the knowledge of the glory of

God as the water comes the sea. That's the big vision.

There's the vision. We hope that it will come to pass.

It will come to pass. Genesis one of verse twenty

eight says that be fruitfull and multiply feel the earth

stop doing dominion over the fish of the sea.

So that's big vision, friends.

But as much as you know the big vision, how

many of us remember, really, by the end of last

week's teaching, we still remember the Big vision? I mean

last week doctor. I'm sure he's a fantastic teachailer, right,

trying to be all right, he's.

A fantastic teacher. He taught you.

All right, how many you remember before you keep me

to church today?

Right? You remember the big vision?

We tend to forget I mean normal because you know

I said, you know, unless we write it down and

remember it on a daily basis, we forget. Just like

our personal life as well. We forget the promises of

God sometimes because of the different things we go to

in our daily lives. And that's why sometimes if you're

not careful, right, we keep buying books but never read. Ah, see,

these members a good time to say all these things.

We keep buying books, but you never read. Cookbooks never opened.

But it looks good on the shelf, if you.

Know what I mean.

Because when you think instagrammed with the cookbook beside you. Right, friends,

you look a bit chefy. It's true. You've got on

zooma with a library books behind you. Smart educated, right,

it's true. Right, you know it's true because something a

lot of books behind me and when on zoom then

after that, because I had to do some work and

some excellent people to ask me, well, I always have

the same book as you, because you know the title

of the book that you kept growing a bit, you

know what I mean. Because you know the title of

the book, you can sort of like ban your way

to rite some truths.

Right.

But here's the thing I want to encourage you, friends,

we must remember the purpose of the big vision to

feel the earth, just like what's the purpose that you

put out the.

Vision for your life?

Because though the state myself is very good, friends, just

a couple of days ago, so our staff at a YA,

we prominely have a stuff devotion that happens, right, So

we broke people into team different teams, team A, B, C, D, E. Right,

and we're supposed to go to different passages of the

Bible to teach. But after what happens that itself brainstorming

and gleaning from.

The word like this chapter like so this chapter that they.

Wanted to was supposed to mean to us right personally,

everyone turned to cheg Gibt because no time ye understand,

So they say, Chegbt, summarize extradus that you wanted ty

two And Chgibt does give a very good summary, very

good summary, so good until friends, she cut offs, don't

really believe that we actually understand what trying to say

because it sounded so good, you know, the England sound

not very good, very good friends, And after we actually

can forget what's extradus that you want to do all about?

Because the way it was summarized, it was summarized with

perfect tenses and everything like that, which is not us

sometimes some very good but majority of us already that way.

So what happens, friends, We need to remember the purpose

and what feel the earth? How the passion come on?

The passion very important even you know the purpose. Friends,

If there is no passion, if there's no passion, if

there is no how what happens. It will just land

up on the piece of paper. It will just land

up on a piece of paper. The passion that how

is be fuitful and multiplied. That is application. There must

be some sort of application, which is the why the

practice to be a blessing to be sought and light.

So friends, it is not just what fuel the earth,

which we all know, but it's also how the passion

I pray there all over wake up every day with

a sense of passion very important. You can wake up friends,

you go like, oh so gloomy. You can wake up

like I don't feel like going to work. You can

wake up. We go through our different days and I'm

not asking us to be perfect, but more times you

have to wake up with passion, excitement and zeal then

like oh I just don't like today, because without the passion, friends,

it will just be a vision.

I think a lot of us.

By the time we actually go home to be with

a lot of friends, we have a cycle of vision.

If it's true, we have a sack of vision that

we never even attempt to achieve.

To try to work at it.

It's very important for you and I to understand to

put into practice what we have heard, put the practice

to be a sort and light to be a blessing.

Because we're applying what we have hurt our friends. We

get stuck when you know a lot of knowledge, what

happens we get puffed up afterward. It will be a

display of knowledge rather than the display of application. And

we and I will buy books books on people who

have all come because there is application. Very seldom I

think we reach out for books. It's just theory, isn't

it true? If it's just theory, there will be what

our sbm textbook of those college books.

Right.

So it goes on to reminds us strengths the mission

for extras. Now, the big vision is fulfilling the earth.

The mission is to disciple. Come on the mission, disciple.

We may not be able to fulfill the big vision

with the knowledge of the glory of God, but what

we could do is to be fruitful and multiply. We

can be fruitful and multiply. That's a that's a that's

a blank that you can feed up fru full and multiply.

You have to be we have to multiply. As a

believer of friends, there must be fruitfulness in our life

because without fruitfulness, when we can multiply, many of us

try to multiply when we are not frue full wipe,

but we stretch ourselves very thin. We stretch ourselves very thing.

After what happens, we can't burnout, we get tired. We

get this courage you and I today we have to

be fruit full first. The Bible says be fruitful, then

only you multiply. But we try to multiply first, then

be full threads. Chances is that you would crack first,

You would give up first before you could even attempt

to be fruitful if you attempt to multiply first without

knowing where your strength comes from.

We are knowing your.

Roots, how your roots are You and I will crack

you and I will give up.

You're being so overwhelmed.

That's why we want to encourage all of your to

get into the world, to get into the world to understand,

so that we know how to about what does it

mean to be fruitful and to multiply? First of all,

to make disciples it zero point one. Make disciples. Friends,

You and I need to come to this place of

making disciples. That's what it's all about a Christianity. See

many times friends, we talked about making disciples. You know,

we're talking about just spending time. I'm spending them with

this individual, So I'm making disciples.

Friends. It's more than just spending time.

It's very intentional to produce leaders Now, I know, I

understand the word leaders may not be.

In the Bible.

However, there are examples or trait of leadership in Jesus' life.

There's trait of in jesus life. There there is about leadership. Now,

there's a statement here. A true disciples is not just

a follow of Christ and the leaders amen. A lot

of people say I follow Christ, but also follow how

Christ led and raise others. This is another year I

want to pain you know, I'm sure you have it

at your work place. You celebrate people's birthday. Right, there's

a slice of cake. There's a cake that's the big cake,

that slice to kapap. So there are some people who

likes everything the cream, the frosting, the cream, the cake layer,

the cream, the cake and or the kind of shake

me like that you when you consume the cake and

can even well done man, no way stage hallelujah. Right,

you consume everything that people serve to you, right, the

one slice, the cream, the ice, sing everything, right, I

see Right, there's some of us in the office, in

my office. Right in my office, they will scrip off

the cream, right, anything to do with cream. That that

the one layer, it's like fat in from the part,

like they scrap it off, like fat below the fried

chicken skin, to scrip it off.

Right.

My wife is like, I've apologize repair before you. My

wife is like that right, not just crip off, not

just crip off the cream of friends, the tinners.

Slice possible, I will have a slice.

I want it very thin, jo by one mm if possible.

Let's say something. Sometimes we follow Christ that way.

We don't take the fullness of what the Bible says. Ah,

we just want a bit only sufficient, sufficient.

No cream, no warners or whatever. I just only want.

And there's one girl.

Of people, just one more girl of people who just

wants the crumbs. You know what the crumbs is that

when you slice the cake, that crumbs on the right,

the crumbs, bit the kick crumbs. You just want to

taste a bit onney because once you taste the bea,

I ate the cake.

If you taste a bit, you eat the cake.

And I fall into the people who eat the crumbs.

I just take one crumb and say, who don't want

to take so little? Don't I just want this small

little like jope or one gram kind of thing tasted. Okay,

I can take so my cup and just stuff like that.

Right now, What I'm trying to say his friends. Many times,

even if our own Christian walk, but we look at Christ,

some of us are just taking the crumbs.

I just only want a bit. I'm not I don't.

But the big, friends, is not what Christ wants us.

He wants us to dive straight in to have everything.

That's how a person visualized when the persons the cake.

None of the layers are there just to make it pretty.

I want you to really understand that. So none of

the scripture was in the Bible. I just fore there

for extra like this guy's so freet Let's try it

another scripture for you, So Phelix.

To give another law for you.

No, every law has a reason for existence, and friends,

if we apply it, friends, there's a reason why God

put it there.

We may not have the full understanding of it yet, but.

There's the reason why God put the scripture in there

for you and me to live it out well. So

that's why this statement is there. That A lot of

times we say I'm a follow of Christ, but I'm exempted.

I got exemption, But first if you look straight into

the world of God, there is no exemption.

There is no exemption.

So it's I don't be followed of it, don't and

I'll be honest with ourselves. So I tell people these days,

I say I don't take cakes. I don't, so they

don't serve me. After that, gus are very hungry. Right

point number two is that turning every people liver into

a partner very bother friends, turning every pitch.

I'm turning every believer into a partner.

Why is because we need to learn how to partner

with God, partner.

With the Holy Spirit.

And there is so much potential because once you become

a partner of friends, there's a potential for a partner

to become a pioneer or a parent. That's the potential

that Christ sees in earth. We can be a pioneer

and a possibility be a parent. But many times you

look at a pre believer. If we look at someone normal,

hope this guy got to get this life in order.

I want to encourage all of us here to see

things in the differentence until unless we come to a

place of realization that every person has a potential to develop,

to learn how to partner with God. Once you partner

with God, friends, your life will never be the same again.

Once we learn the partner.

With the Lord, with the Holy Spirit, I can guarantee

your life and never be the same again. Many times

your journey with your life, friends, we try very hard.

We try very hard with our own strength to know

our own connection. We try very hard to break through,

which is good.

Friends. I'm not denying, don't work hard.

Work hard, but sometimes we also need to learn how

to depend and work together with the Holy Spirit. Because

it is he that will cause us to be pioneers.

Is he who causes us to be pioneers. I want

to encourage your friends, not by your own struggle, by

your own mind, you can become pioneers.

I think a lot of times.

We tried so hard, we tried so hard to be pioneer,

only to burn out. We really tried so hard to

be pioneers, only to burn out.

Just before I came here, I was at the Mandarine service.

I finished, so I quickly grat my lunch at the

at the foot court. One of the regulars who come

to the church over there owns a store at Taylor's College.

You know, he's from China, so he's I was eating

them or from the store sitting down there. There after

he saw me sitting alone, he joined me. He dies

to speak a word of English as we were attempting

to communicate with my really broken mandrine, and he's very

limited English.

It was amazing to see and he was just he

just accept.

The Christ about a month ago, about a month and

a half ago, and we did started the pack with him.

It was quite amazing. He started sharing, you know, in

telling me all many say in China, right, we're really

claiming out all the churches, every church. We're going to

claim down every church. You're going to claimb down. He said,

there's so much freedom over here. Over there is that

the moment you write something negative, the police will come

and interrogate you. You cannot report anything. But oh, here you

can write and you get away with it. I said, no, ready,

you can, all right? I said, you don't know. I say,

you cannot write certain things over here, all right. But

but what I'm trying to say here is that there's

a potential potential friends. I think many times you tried

very hard. So last week I met a guy from yeah,

from all of the couple companies. You're just sharing, you know,

sharing about about about what he asking me. So he thought,

I'm going to least a place.

So we just talk.

I just thought I came to this meeting, then we're

gonna talk business about listing. But the moment I started

sharing with him of what we do as a church,

as as different organizations as DVFC, you know Linette and

you know Teamy, right all, he just could ends there.

I came with the mindset to me to talk about

business about lissing. But I got to introduce you to

my boss, who have to hear this story. Because we

are right now and backing on this track, we don't

know who to talk to.

See you and I.

Friends try very hard to break grounds, try very hard

to create history. But once we rest and we learn

the partner with the Lord, friends, it's no longer I

was trying. That goes before us. God is the one

that creates the platform for you. God is the one

that's go a little bit your story. Hey, we ended

this conversation. Hey, I don't think this is the end.

I want to let you know that I'm gonna talk

to my my, my, the people who's making decisions.

About about about about about.

Buildings, about land and stuff that I want them to

meet with you and just see what's the potential developed later.

That's it.

I went in there just to share a story, what

Lynette has done, what Victory Academy has done.

Right, how we helped.

Some challenge some students with challenging needs, sober learning ability

and stuff like that.

Just with that, friends, doors open.

Now I'm saying that this ended Victory and this stuff

like that, but the ability to share the being a

pioneer ultimately a parent. So therefore, friends, we don't the

next WAK page fourteen. We don't don't plan disciples. We

we just don't plan anybody. But we planned disciples to

produce a leader. Come on, we plan a disciple to

produce a leader. What do I mean by that? Paston

Ledgers in Botswana? Right, you heard about Botswona. We pray

for Botswana. But the church over there started with this

a desire really just to plant the church. So when

Passon Ledgers graduated went back to Africa, he planned in

another place called Mouchrudi.

Now Mutudi is another.

Place, friends, It's a smaller town but very high in

uh singer moms right, choling our lot, because getting married

the is super expensive. Over here, we go by dow

we repay, you know. Some they go by cows. They

buy cows over there. Few in the cows are all

us dollars, not just one, right, but ten, fifteen, twenty,

depending on how the parents see the daughter, how much

the cow is worth anyway, so what how they beat

the system already bit the system, or get married.

Some of them they.

Will take out loans, they'll borrow from different people and

by the time they know it, friends, they really started

their marriage or are the very poor foundation which is

getting themselves into debt, and they do want to go

to the whole settling the dead issue and this stuff

like that. So they rather no, rather, but sometimes they

choose the other way out have kids first, and you

know sometimes friends, if you're I'm not saying marriage should

be a one hundred percent, but no, and the love

that they have a lot of kids or rather ture lot.

What happens is that the guy will live the girl

and go after another girl. Right, So create a situation

whereby a lot of singer moms over there.

So when the church started over.

There in moturity, friends, they decided they want to reach

out to these singer moms, single.

Parent, they want to reach out to them.

So one life buster life just planted friends out, came

a bed, a bed over there, and his wife planted

I moturity saying with this, with the desire I have

to do something with this community. They reach out to the

community and many of them got nothing to do.

Brought them to church, brought them to church.

Some of them got safe, and they're trying to see

how we compartner with us in Ko to plant a

school over there and to help and to.

Give the children and future education. Future. You can see

one life.

When you plant a disciple, you raise a leader, not

just anyone friends. So when you get planted friends, you

get planted right, you begin to produce. That's why when

you plan a life, you gain a life. Come on,

when you plant alive, you gain a life. So wherever

God plants you friends, his desire is that you make.

An impact in someone else's life.

So he plants you at your workplace you can pray

for someone who's not well. When you plant it in

your college, you could encourage someone. God's desire for all

versus to be planted and know the potential of what

he has planted. Come on, God desire is for us

to understand He plants us in a place, for us

to understand the potential.

That we have once he releases into the soil.

Right, so number three, raise and release Daniel into the marketplace.

Come on, raise and release Daniel into the marketplace. We

want to see Daniel raise and release to make an

impact in the marketplace. When we talk about marketplace, friends,

it is not just about preaching the gospel. It's not

just about sharing your testimony. Friends, It's also about your lifestyle.

It's also about your punctuality.

Let me go deeper. Many Christians I know friends.

Who has very good attendance on Sunday, poor record on

Monday to Friday, poor work. Were called on Monday to Friday,

not puncture to work the dunk. Christians are watching the

dunk Christians are watching, and we say we will give

our best of the love. But yet at the workplace,

we don't even show up on time when we say

we're supposed to deliver, but don't deliver and stuff like that,

and people watching our work ethics.

How are we at word? Friends?

Even before we could even the word? Is that to

disciphle someone. We have to make connection that makes sense.

We have to make connection that makes sense.

Friends.

That's why, friends, He's wanting us to get our roots.

Correct.

Roots means going deeper with the word. Come on, roots

means going deeper with the word. Without going deeper with

the word, friends, you know what happens, there could be

no transformation. No transformation, the Bible says, you don't be

confirmed the center of this world, but be transformed by

the renewing.

Of your mind. Correct. Not so.

The only way to renew our mind is to read

the word of God. The only way to renew our

mind is to read the word of God. But if

we don't read and go deeper with the word of God,

how can new roots take place in our mind? The

rules that we have are all the always what we

used to do. I share this one time. I know something.

When we go for a group lunch, someone normally pay first, right,

I pray that you're not. You have you don't have

the way for tree for reminders, don't need you start

paying back someone is paid. I'm sure there's nobody want

to do like that. But if you know that someone place,

you remind the person.

Don't be like that.

You know someone do pay first and then and and

you know somebody needs like tree for reminders.

Hey, you owe me money and you're not nice.

You don't say because the position, no one man should

see you on Sunday.

Some more.

Pray for you, some more praying between he said, I

need money. God provide for this, brother, go thank you

Jesus Lorial. But you understand what what what? What do

we exhibit? What do we exhibit at a workplace? What

do we exhibit at the workplace? Out of college?

Friends? What do we exhibit friends? And when? When? When? When?

When we were with the girl of senior pastors from

in New Zealand, we had we had meal with them,

and you know over there it's part of their lifestyle

over there, their wine together with meat, which is very

common over there. But what we like, what we saw,

what we like about the senior leaders are this that

he looked They did look to me and pastors because

we come from a different region.

Agent, he says, he just asked us this, Hey, are

you are you all right with.

Us consuming wine? Are you all right with us consuming

wine in front of you or not? If you're not

all right, then we won't drink if you're not right,

because we know, we know people might be offended. And therefore, well,

rather ask first, Rather ask first, it's okay with you?

Every pass said, sure, you know you won't have it.

You have it, but you know we don't drink. Women

just can't. I roy struck clothes, I pass already, Lord, yes,

Royce liquid chorc closes, I passed up already.

All right?

Yeah, so could you imagine one just one job? Anyway

they ask us that we say, go ahead and consume.

I don't want to. Let you know.

It speaks volume friends about how they conduct themselves. Right,

So therefore friends, so the ex off is the X

of love patience, This.

Kindness the X off.

So when you exhibit their friends, you are already making

disciples many times your journey. When we talk about disciples ship,

we always talk about what the Bible have to say,

which is correct, but we don't have to really have

to bring up the world. Our lifestyle shows it. Next

page page fifteen, Page fifteen, All right, to connect is

to make sense before make disciples.

Amen.

So the hard check time here, Hart schack Timer, What

kind of what kind of sense am I going to make?

This week.

What kind of sense am I going to make this week?

Example of that? Punctuality, excellence, kindness, loving, be patient? How

about encouragement? Everything that people are serving today? Who is

here early to set up? Because the encouragement goes a

long way. Many times in our journey, friends, we're very

very rarely you know, are kind. Two people are serving

very kind to you know, people I need. But sometime

when people are serving, we just say that, oh, they

can take care of themselves. They're supposed to be motivated,

but first as motivated as we are, a little kindness

gratitude goes a long way.

So the next time, friends, before you just consume all.

Expresso has layout for you, afterwards, say thank you. It

goes a long way. Say nice decoration, you know, just

say like, yeah, I can do better than this. Please

don't say that. Don't say that what our color combination

this is. I have people commented before like, well this

is so messy or your decoration. I have people say

that before and you go like, and the other person

is trying not the best, but just try. But all right,

I want to encourage you really, like you know what

sense that you're gonna make this way?

It's a good hard time chang. All right, let's go

to some numbers. Amen.

Two and a half more pagears to go out, but

I can make it on time. Praise I don't you

miss the service? Otherwise you tell us that would be

so long like the missed service. Let's reew some numbers. Okay,

now right, the hypercal chapter two words two the scripture.

The Lord answered me and say, right the vision. Make

it plain on tablets, and they may run. Who reads it?

Write the vision? Make it plain on tablets? It may

run who reads it?

You know?

The scripture worse can be applied to personally in your life.

First of all, first, I want to courage you to learn

to write. Learn to write, learn to write. Apologies. Okay,

I see cat trying to screen the eyes there too small?

Right? Yeah? Yeah, I know.

I shall tell all this designers in our church. There

are people who have see this one size, I know.

But if I will try to enlarge the full size,

I've got another like times two from eighteen sides to

become to these six. I'm sorry, but it's in your bible.

It's in your bible, it's in your hand on hand right,

write the vision of threads just give me a few

minutes to explain to you how to apply your personal life.

We go through every day of our lives. Is so

many things to do. I want to carac you to

learn to write what you have to do. Learn to

write what you have to do. The Bible says always say,

make it plain, make it simple. Please, do not be

overly complex with having some point one some point one

point one, one point one point one, one point one

point three. Make it simple first, because many times we

are overwhelmed by our old checklist. Oh well, by old

checklist becomes so detailed until we become paralyzed.

Make it simple.

Make it simple so once you understand you, once you

write the vision of what you need to do, run

with it, do it, execute it out. Many times in

our phone how to do air is drowning with input,

but there's no checking off.

It's so nice.

Oh I got to do this, I got to do

that right, what happens? It's just key. It is so fun,

but someone has to do the work right. I like

I like to remind people it's like doing laundry. Doing

laundry is very fun. Just putting it into the washing

machine is very fun.

That power of laundry is nice.

Just take it off from the laundry back and push

it in and say I've done by laundry. What happens first?

The folding is one something that I don't get it.

I'm sorry, I don't really get folding.

After wow, say right, you know it's it's it's I'm like,

just hang the.

Clothes, put on the clothes rack from the laundry. The

clo is still in the in the same clothes hanger.

Then you just wear it because you buy the non

iron ironing type one. Right, yeah, right, right, right right,

thank you for a new tech fabric technology.

Right, not the last the leading one you keep I

it's the same iron.

What I'm trying to say here is these friends, if

we don't make it plain, don't make it simple, we

won't do it.

So we don't. We don't just.

Want you to know the vision. We want you to

run with the vision. Come on, run with the Lord.

Run with the vision. Friends, apply strength, apply passion into it,

run with the vision.

Don't just put to do list down but not doing it.

And that's the reason why I come December journals that

says that to do goes on sale.

It's very nice to buy right, and you get.

Books on how to get things done for sale right.

It's such a simple equation. Just do it.

It's you know what I mean? I understand, Okay, they

are the mechanics behind it. Though I also got those

books for its. I have to confess. But after reading that,

and they have the bottomlight the summary of all subways.

You just have to do it right.

So anyway, so therefore, first you need to know some numbers. Okay,

So as you talk about ten years, we can't reminder

of Daniel's life. Daniel's life ten years, ten days of testing.

Test me now with water and vegetable for ten days

and now be stronger.

Friends.

The only way for us to achieve Godly vision is

to have God diet. There is no other way for

us to achieve the vision of God's given the house,

even for our own person life the scripture that is,

for own person life with our old strength, own methodology.

You need God's diet to achieve God strength. Come on

God's diet to achieve God's big true God's diet.

Because you know God' dyeing it. You know what happened.

We won't survive the fire.

Daniel went through the fire and the fiery furnace, not

because he is inflammable or his human touch. Right, he

went through the fire because he went to God's diet

in the beginning. It's also because of God's diet, friends,

he's able to go to the lions. Then I'm gonna

say against Without God's diet, it's hard to face.

The fire and the lion.

Some of us, He are facing fires in our lives

and lions at the office, and we are so drained, drained, tired.

But it's only true his diet.

Friends, it may not look like much water, investments really

look like much.

Friends.

In fact, it is one of the things that you

and I will never reach out for, only until we

are much older in life or a bit more understanding

of food intake. Then you realize that you're reaching the

more vegetable and water when you're slightly older. But when

you're younger, friends, nondets are our friends, true or not

nuggets ours?

And we tried the words.

We tried to make nuggets healthier by putting let us

wrap around.

It, it's healthy.

After I got my reggie intake, but only to realize

that it doesn't work when you get older. After all

that give me vegetable more, right, forget about the show

and just give me plain water. Back then, Coca cola

for every outthing. When you're younger and younger, when you're

secondary school, it's we reach you to co co cola

more than water. Back then, as you grow older, give

me water. So yeah, more the modern the modern teens

right now will award because there's more education. Back then

without internet, already know what's co co cola was was

like a goal to us seven seven level big up anyway,

get to get out of this, all right? So therefore, friends,

God's diet to sell the house is all the Okay,

strength comes where you follow the Lord. Amen, So point up, up,

pay sixty all right. One thousand by one thousand, one

thousand by one thousand. Now it came when we lost

the glamory buildings. Some we will remember it. What was

the disappointment? Disappointment was the appointment by God? What what

does this story means all about? We lost a building.

We wanted to buy a building for ourselves. We lost

it not because not because we were bad or anything

like that. We were asked raised up a deposit. Our

deposit came a few days later after the expiry date.

We mean to say that, say by the first December,

our deposit came on second January from a donor that

they say that our sponsor or raise up the balance

of your deposit. Second genue few days later, the friends

and most owners we just say, sure, not a problem,

because I I want to go to the sale. But

this owner is a bit different, say nope, I'll for

fee your deposit if you want to buy, give me

a new deposit.

If you want by given. But of course you know,

I don't know.

It's very kind to us, and just say, look, you

want to take this a case. You know we can

read put the lawyers together, you know, so this person

and you get by your deposit and just stuff like that.

But maybe it sounds like a good idea. Of friends.

We prayed as the church leaders, we prayed us a

lot what to do and past it.

Just felt that no, that it's something that you know, maybe.

The lot could allow us to go through this for

a bigger purpose and pass it. Just wrote to the

owner and just reminds the owner this this phrase, it

is not our money. Just want to let you know

that you have taken this money belongs to God and

ultimately that you know you have to deal with him.

I just want you to know that.

And if you're you're conscious, you you talk to the Lord,

you talk to God.

If you know God. If you don't know him, I

pray that he will be merciful on you. But it's

between you and God right now. We're not pursued litigation.

We're not pursue anything.

But we have the trust love will multiply by every

person who I gave.

It's both step but one.

As I read to the Bible, friends, the Lord, remember

who is good to the tune of Vizel, who's better?

To the June of visual extod the study one. Friends,

the Median knights, the media knights were treacherous to the

tune of video when they left Egypt.

Treacherous day they went after the tune of Israel.

But the Bible will say that the Lord remember what

the media knight has done. And in Extodu study one,

he went after the media knights. He caused every midia

night to perish. That's how the Lord remembers.

Friends.

If you're going to that situation, and one, let's and

one encourage your friends. There is no date end with

the Lord. The Rangers belongs to him. So this disappointment

got turned it around for one building, one team, one

pastor become multiple passes, multiple.

Teams, and everyone could serve.

The reason why you are here to that want to

teach service is because what we went to a glamory

we will not have.

Amb just planting. If not.

Because we went through that, we very comfortable. We want

to service. Though we get bigger, we go quite a

bigger place. God never wanted that. He never wanted this

one place, one team, superstar team, just one to passive preaching.

He wanted more people to be raised up, to be employed,

to release, to be serviced. Someone say amen. So that

is a summary. So have you hard time check? Have

you experienced something initially as seen as disappointment only for

God to turn it around? Come on, turn around for better?

Have you experienced something the initiative was a disappointment. When

you're disappointed, friends, you're discourage, you're down, you cannot see

a way out, you cant see a way of escape.

Only to realize, even in our disappointment, God is at

the back working.

For our appointment.

So if you are right now and disappointed, this courage,

ask God for understanding what you're going through. So therefore, friends,

the one thousand we already have cannot just remain as

where there are this for you, So therefore we cannot

remain afford to remain where we are.

Really you can't. You cannot remain where you are.

Friends. One thing about coming to December and going to January.

You discover that you go while you're older. Some of

have exited our twenties many years ago. Some always are

entry our forties. As you grow older, friends, you realize

one thing that I don't mean some more be but

you realize time is getting me shorter. Time is shorter.

When time is therefore scarcity, it is therefore not enough.

What happened friends, you would actually actually actually begin to think.

That I got to do something in my life.

I got In other words, you're not just here friends,

here just for another guy dream. The next time you

spend time with summer, you want to make an impact.

So therefore this same as the hands the one thousand

we already have cannot remain as they are, cannot remain

as they are, meaning to see.

That you're rere no are wired friend for more.

So therefore The bottom line of discipleship is follow me

as I follow Christ. Come on, follow me as a

follow Christ, Follow me as a follow Christ. We shouldn't

take it for granted that one thousand that we have

right now, already, the one thousand partners that we have.

Is it's okay to remain where we are.

It's okay to remember we are.

If God desires for you really to be a leader,

to be planted to make an impact. Therefore, don't you

want to see it come to pass? Don't you want

to see it come to pass? Don't you want to

see it come to pass? So therefore, friends, it's not

just about getting hung up with the numbers. It's not

about the numbers. Friends, It's about us keeping it going.

Point number. See that. Keep it going, Keep it going,

keep it going, keep it going. There's a black deve.

Keep it going.

Friends, have you been keeping it going in your life?

Or if you come the place whereby like stop for

a while, time out, No matter what discourasion, we will

go to our life. I want to encourage us. We

cannot stop to be what and who God has called

us to be. We shouldn't stop, no matter what discouragement

in our life. We shouldn't stop to be the person

God causes us to be, because discussion will come. On

friends with your full time, discussion will come, your leader,

discussion will come. Even you're not a leader, discussion will come.

So it shouldn't rob you to be the person that

God calls you to be.

Amen.

Wait, last page, page seventeen. Hallelujah, praise a lot. So

the focus first, the focus? Okay, last page? All right,

take stock of all God has given us?

Take stop? Do we know who we have not? Do

we know who we have not?

Some of us here have been attending church service for

at least maybe six months. Really, my question to you

is is that will you start serving? Would you start serving?

Even you'll be one man really here, you're comfortable, you

call this your home, your church. Would you start serving?

You got to take stock of who we have in

our church, because it is not by church you're here.

It is not because we pull out a nice flyer.

You come to church. You know you might win a tesla.

Well that that could be quite fun.

Right. No, No, if you re month, please remember me, all.

Right, it's not because of that, right, It's because God

brought you here for a reason.

For a purpose.

You could be where any other church, but God brought

you here. And because you're here a friend, our messages

are like that. Imagine you choose to stay here A

messages are still like that. We're not going to change.

They're therefore friends. There must be a reason why got

you here. So thanks to all who we have and

let's do our best to draw out their best. What

do we mean by dad that, Freds? I want to

encourage you. Really, there's so much potential we have even

as a close.

You know, so recently we will approach for was approached.

By a mom, or rather we heard the story whereby

the mom was oneting to send one of the students

who is a bit slow in learning for outside vocation

vocational school, baking and this stuff like that she's fifteen

sixteen around the age but understanding maybe it's about like

much lower. I think they say primary age, So I'm

not sure why this. When I heard the story, I

went like, okay, could we help now? Could we just

give her a platform December time?

Right now?

If if you're all right, why don't you send her

to us? Just maybe you know, with with Josephine, you

know there can give a bit of encouragement to her

talk about she came one day talk about her one

I think about what an hour an hour to learn

how to peel one apple, us a pillow and our.

Not much, you know, friends, not.

Much doing what she could, couldn't multitask and this stuff

like that. I'm sharing these stories because I think many

times you don't.

We don't. We really don't know what we have. We

think we have. We need to have everything all together.

You just so the mom say, hey, we're running cookies

production right now, which if you want, there's things to

do here, just a place for her to learn, a

place for her to understand.

Just stuff like that.

And the mom said, thank you so much for taking

my daughter in. You know, I just thought that you

know that you send her out there? Say yeah, but

no better place, I hear, because at least I know mice.

I know my colleague will not go exceless a bit

more patient.

So she came. She learned. The second time to learn

is to how to cut cherries right, very slow.

Friends, about maybe about thirty seconds per cherry, which someone

else can do it with five seconds.

Just just like that.

I'm talking about that the cherry not the fresh one,

but stuff like that. Friends, I'm sharing this you because

I want us to know. Friends, we don't always need

the desire for everything to be the best.

Only we start doing.

You don't always need the desire for the best to

start doing things. I'm not sure where you are, but

here's the texture of what God has really given you.

As I close, Friends, here has really given us one

thousand people in our partners, and God will give us more.

Until everyone spectimized we need to do the impossible. We

do do the possible that God do the impossible. So

what we did was we just did this came second time,

came to the time, learning a bit by a bit.

One day she was able to master at least making something.

But I got to start from somewhere. I got to believe.

I'm not sure where you are right now here today,

but it starts with Earth first.

It starts with Earth first.

Say Lord, all I have, would your blessed the type

of the lot, all that have the ten percent that we

give the Lord may not be much, but this.

Is all they have, Would you bless it?

As I close right now, as I write, extreme up

on stage, what do you have?

What do you have? Right now.

I pray you don't look down what you have, because

sometimes you think I got to have this, or that

I'm been able to produce that without this.

I can't. Without this, I can't. And many times.

People stop doing what they caught to do because they

look down on what God has already given them. I

pray that you and I wouldn't look down on who

we are. God has given you a life. Yeah, so

if you look in the mirror, I may not look

that much. I may not look like, you know, like

a superstar, or do your testimony or do it life.

But hey, if God is in the picture, if God is.

In your life, if God is in the picture in

your life.

Friends, we hope you've been blessed by this message. For

more information on our church, please visit as church dot org.

We are also active on Facebook and Instagram. We're believing

that this week is going to be a good week.

I hate for you.

God bless
