You're listening to a message to go from ex Church.
-
We hope this message will light up your day.
-
Today. I'm going to share in this context about discipleship.
-
She dies to take a month to patient. That's take
-
a beating like you finished.
-
Taken from the Book of John chapter fifteen.
-
You have for this show.
-
So if you have your Bible, you can turn to
-
me a Book of John chapter fifteen.
-
Okay, that you find out you have for in this show.
-
And we're going to read the Word of God in
-
John fifteen. We're going to read Versus one all the
-
way to verse eight. Now the party very famous words
-
you probably would have heard about this wine and branches clenty.
-
You think King Gordless put out show you.
-
So what's one you say? Jesus said, I am the
-
true wine and my father is the wine dresser.
-
Now that was she don't put out the.
-
Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he
-
takes away, and every branch that bears fruit he prunes
-
that he made that it may bear more fruit.
-
Fanci fantia, how do you surely ganteing.
-
You are already clean because of the word which I
-
have spoken to you sinceating Tingler abide in me and
-
I in you. And as the branch cannot bear fruit
-
of itself unless it abides in the wine, neither can
-
you unless you abide in me.
-
Chance Chance, Since young I.
-
Am the wine, you are the branches. He who abides
-
in me and I in him bears much fruit. For
-
without me you can do nothing.
-
Chance Chance Halim.
-
If anyone does not abide in me, he is cast
-
out as a branch and is withed. And they gathered
-
them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned.
-
Chance ran citylight Rensi Holy Shaula.
-
Now the key versus what today will be taken from
-
vers seven and eight. Verse seven, he says, if you
-
abide in me and my words abide in you, you
-
will ask what you desire, and it shall be done
-
for you. By this, my father is glorified that you
-
bear much fruit. You will be my disciples.
-
Man Chan only mean chance fund man sure you end
-
that she Joe into the yah nieman ye julish water mantola.
-
So the version that I'm read earlier together with you
-
is taken from the n K j V version, the
-
New King James.
-
Version England in the English Fan and I counted the
-
number of times the word abide appeared. No changsi that
-
they got it appeared four times.
-
Now another translation, it may not appeared four times a male.
-
But in your translation there will be that great emphasis
-
on why we should abide in Christ.
-
Because the ju uh wait a moment she took a
-
tang ta that take a.
-
In Greek, the word abide basically means is to stay,
-
to remain, to dwell, and to endure sea and little
-
to you, I like that. One of the meaning is
-
endure now what you soon as you Because so when
-
life goes well, when it is easy, it's easy to
-
abide in Christ.
-
No huntings hold she tangsly mean.
-
But when life goes well, it is also easy to
-
not abide in Christ.
-
So soon as just a god hunting.
-
And mean, because there's no dependency on God.
-
Even she all like she is seen caution.
-
As Christians were called to endure some.
-
Way women sad tak who's out like she uh turns.
-
So remember Jesus promises us a crown that if we
-
were to endure till the end, we will have this crown.
-
Yes, so like she use the issue the woman redman
-
turned woman.
-
Just a take kan and the way to endure is
-
to abide in Christ.
-
When you you can not go like she turned, so
-
take a h turn. So don't want tantation?
-
W are you limit? And if you read this context,
-
it is not just abiding in Christ, but it is
-
abiding in His word.
-
Dane, She don't she tantationally? Men type a talentation? And
-
why are you leave?
-
In in verse seven, it says, if you abide in
-
me and my words abide in you.
-
That decision limit hawaii challenge any limit.
-
So as Christians, as disciples, we must understand that to
-
abide in Christ is to abide in His word.
-
So you know, woman like she TANSI, why are you?
-
This goes beyond whatever experience you may feel in church today.
-
It's just howsie sure, because sometimes if you're not careful,
-
it's easy to be building our faith based on what
-
we see on the outside.
-
So can't doubt and don't see not like she like
-
you be a young woman sing sing.
-
For example, you and I probably will have your favorite
-
worship band, favorite worship.
-
Team you wander Taming by the Twin three.
-
And we tune in to their praise and worship song.
-
Major Sheemating by the girl, and it lifts up our soul.
-
You're like the scene sing when you're driving this spay
-
attention on the road and don't be in tuned to
-
the spirit because you need to focus on the road.
-
That's a whole like she just funnishing And.
-
If you don't have the discipline of reading God's work,
-
like how do you do build our faith just around
-
the music that we listen to faith based on the
-
experience in church intero, we can be in the danger
-
of not growing our faith hernuas.
-
Uh tw.
-
I'm trying to say sometimes we may enter into a
-
stage where we think we are abiding in Jesus say,
-
you know.
-
When that even woman is in tunstionally men, but in
-
reality we're not because sooner it's a sherman being male.
-
Because until and unless you abide in His word, how
-
the attention?
-
Why are you limit?
-
You will never abide in chess.
-
Brand You may aband like she's tuntion yes to the limit.
-
So the wine and the branches illustration on the screen,
-
Jesus says, if you don't abide in Me, you cannot.
-
Bear fruit, yes, ma, or like you how many you put.
-
All of you have seen trees.
-
Before that your canting, you can't.
-
Go so man, all of you have seen wine before that.
-
Your conne you can't go without shoe.
-
And you know that every branch have to be connected
-
to the wine. Take a gun, and it's the branch
-
that carries the fruit, the grapes.
-
Like she tears gods something.
-
When you read the scripture, you might be wondering what
-
fruit are we're supposed to carry.
-
Now you're young woman, she is like she tears some
-
younger godsn't it?
-
The fruit to me is to be like Christ, which
-
is a form of christ likeness.
-
Now take a gords just.
-
Young, or you can refer to Galicians chapter five.
-
Like she cou Jalla Ti.
-
Verses twenty two to twenty three.
-
Jella tidy or us Santi.
-
Many of you are familiar with the fruit of the.
-
Spirit hunting just her mean Pi. Let's take a selina
-
God it.
-
Is, but the fruit of the spirit is love, selling.
-
Into a god to your children.
-
It's joying she loves. It's peace, it's long suffering, it's kindness,
-
it's goodness, it's faithfulness, gentleness, one row and self control.
-
Most of the time, if we're honest with ourselves, we struggled.
-
In this no show government just a time by the
-
Juana male defund like she.
-
Some of us may struggle in loving artists.
-
Now your childans Nan she a tyrant or.
-
Even loving our enemies the trophy if you were to
-
abide in Jesus the red.
-
Like how are years and abide in his words that
-
she sees.
-
He told us to love our enemies.
-
God just said, like she trody.
-
Not only that he told us to do good to them,
-
but she like she s han't sing. He told us
-
to bless those who prosecute us.
-
Yes, yeah, and you're like she two for Nancy people
-
the rein.
-
You can only bear this fruit of loving artists who
-
are different from you or others who oppose you when
-
you abide in his.
-
Word Doman like you how how the booker either or.
-
Maybe some OUs are working on our long suffering.
-
Nan no leader.
-
In other words, is our ability to endure when times
-
gets hot?
-
That is a type Quentine and how the show.
-
But as Christ endure the cross and have showness and
-
perfect example of what endurance.
-
Is Naiman.
-
Like she turn so nice, we are to follow after
-
him chickens wait. More and more people find it easy
-
to give up these daste Now she's the same you
-
know your you found I say this before and I'll
-
say it again now that it is a quote not
-
by me. But there's a term for younger generation to
-
be called a strawberry generation.
-
Now I say that, you say, do you need to
-
say that? May tell me to.
-
Or a snowflake generation? Why?
-
Young un Now let me say this.
-
This doesn't come from me, short, short, this comes from
-
what I read this water you're doing. Most people would
-
probably have read the same thing. Now, you younger young
-
if you're in business you own a company, or if
-
you're in employment, you will see there's a difference between
-
fresh grades trade and people who have been seasoned working.
-
Now you're going to gangang beer negotiation TABI.
-
What is the difference? Ability to be resilient.
-
Take a red nights and and show that taken.
-
Ability to endure when your boss corrects you.
-
Don't that take sounds personally, but children need you, so
-
don't take it personally.
-
Lies.
-
She can't debates and doing.
-
Take it professionally.
-
Just y'all go your.
-
So even in studies centence. Then don't give up easily.
-
But you're not quite a joke like she just.
-
A teen just because you have filled one.
-
Paper currently Partic's it doesn't mean you have to give up.
-
Just so, when you abide in Christ and his words,
-
you have to bear even the fruit of long suffering.
-
No, certainly in she are like she just how how
-
the turn so even the fruit of self control Centernatiah.
-
Some of us we really need to work on our
-
ability to have a form of self control. Now how then,
-
sometimes it's how we converse with you woman her. Sometimes
-
it's how we respond when we are agitated. Now, you
-
and I probably have encountered people when they're agitated. The
-
moment they speak, it's like a train let loose from
-
their mouth and everything just come out and there's no
-
never ending.
-
Now there's a whole instantly the whold had to water
-
down the mouth to the milk into them.
-
But the Bible encourages us as disciples to know how
-
to hold our.
-
Town COERSI Lioman like she ses you.
-
Because our town is like a rather of the.
-
Ship mandakamanda shirt hold you twenty men, niggar niggergag don't see.
-
Uh. So it may be small compared to a ship,
-
but the ship will know will not go anywhere without
-
its direction.
-
Niga trance understands, shall be her take trying to face under.
-
Because salvas we lack self control.
-
Now your woman, that's.
-
In our mouth it so we've got abiding Christ. So
-
you turn that yes to the limit to give us
-
the courage.
-
How al may you take?
-
So picture is up? You will know that Jesus said
-
earlier in John fifteen, without me you can do nothing.
-
Now, yes, you that you have show may how woman
-
some of the without abiding in Jesus, we can never
-
bear this fruit. Now yes to them the harmon she
-
wouldn't go like.
-
She can't hear an amen?
-
That sure? Amen?
-
So to me an illustration?
-
Is this not in the nigga bie you just young?
-
When you abide in His word Russian highly min her.
-
You become a walking Bible that people read.
-
Did you better or the certain don't?
-
In the context of evangelism, you know, I always say
-
that before you want people to read your Bible, they
-
got to read your life.
-
What's the sales you ye do the centainsition ha many
-
continued the same means because when they.
-
Read your life, they got to see Christ and His
-
word living in you.
-
Lies You're doing the mean that's whole. Now you can't
-
me haman kant.
-
No, sometimes we want to evangelize to people.
-
No, man, you're like you heard you reach out to
-
people when you hurt horanized she fanc quick.
-
To take out the Bible, inquite your national quick to
-
do Bible study and quite you lie, which is good,
-
finish on the bank. But make sure our life is
-
congruent to the Bible that we read.
-
Because you know, monreal lies how the chip home and
-
the same thing.
-
Is either otherwise there is a discrepancy you fanta, the
-
word says this wha. It's not sure, but we are
-
living totally opposite.
-
No, majes fantastic than I should go.
-
We must live in alignment to God's work.
-
Now material Lieshi like you do it.
-
So say to your neighbor if you believe this, No,
-
tell me that you can be the walking Bible.
-
You're saying the centing.
-
So how do we abide in Christ? Say meant tanta,
-
meant many of it? We're not this basic tell and
-
that I don't take a deep I don't have to
-
narrow down on this except to say that you must
-
have time spend with God through devotion.
-
So she didn't like her.
-
And it's you must have a consistency in reading the
-
words you you must learn how to eliminate distraction from
-
your life.
-
Yeah, he found around in fancying that she found that.
-
We're living in a more distracted world.
-
Well that's just who got her own fancying that we.
-
Are living in a world where there are many excitements
-
and the Word of God may not be an excitement.
-
Now seeing fun because you ramana famine.
-
We must learn to study the word of God. That's
-
one thing about reading for the sake of knowledge. And
-
there's one thing about reading to be in a point
-
where the Word of God transforms inside out. So you have.
-
Her digs and why are you you why you go
-
to umbilment the same mean your finds had.
-
Some people can quote scriptures from Genesis all the way
-
to Revelation and Revelation all the way back to Genesis.
-
Second, and you're sharing the she uh just a transity
-
dat you the thing when they found.
-
Me a casuna, which is very admirable.
-
Cities a face banda.
-
But ultimately it's not how much you know, but it's
-
how much you have applied in what you know.
-
Cauter the thing when you do shout sooner she got
-
be need.
-
So do not be impressed with people who can just quote.
-
Scriptures say not be able to sit down like simple
-
thing random go like she did the soyer that things went.
-
Be impressed with people who lift out the scriptures and
-
you're able to see the fruits in it.
-
Sooner my inca can away and ration and waii interest
-
and why you like you don't send me.
-
So when you read the word of God, read it
-
from a point where it only fits your intellectuality, but
-
it doesn't fit your spirit, does horna just a year?
-
And the way to fit your spirit is to meditate
-
on the word of God.
-
No man yeah like she wait no, not just that she.
-
Reflect on the word of God that you fancy. Do
-
not rush in your reading?
-
Are just maman?
-
Do editating the world of God. We then intend with
-
the purpose of asking God to reveal to me what
-
is it that you want me to know? What is
-
it that you want me to understand? Lies?
-
There's the whole no manial lies. She's indeed ration like
-
she like she hi Almas bombing by the city.
-
And as we grow further in the Lord, we must
-
learn to memorize scriptures.
-
Now, man lies, you can't tell the reation. No, man,
-
youal lies.
-
She like she pays WHI you must go beyond John three.
-
Sixteen ther life she beaichi. That's how you have.
-
We must hide God scriptures in our heart by memorizing.
-
Pasha and machinele Men, you must.
-
Take it as diligently like how you memorize your academic syllables.
-
Formula, how her life she pays, the fountains chat and
-
the number young big.
-
Young people, please listen to me, Ram And when you
-
are young than Indians, your brain works very well in
-
that ton. Do you want to make sure that when
-
you're young to memorize as much scriptures as possible?
-
Then your chair bound and it's an Indian your how
-
like she paid?
-
Of course, when you reach my age, it gets slightly
-
difficult because the ram memory here is a bit down.
-
Living house.
-
I say this respectfully because it's true.
-
No, just a thing that like.
-
Scriptures that memorize up to today. It's a foundation I
-
built when I was young. No, No, this Indian lady
-
chat when I go for Bible classes, not.
-
Just your curtain.
-
Before we end the class, the teacher will say, okay,
-
these are two memory words. When you come back next week,
-
everyone have to share the memory words without reading the Bible.
-
No, she you call the shana your year just around,
-
but she pays song to see thing.
-
So for example, to this to this lesson is about
-
the word of God, and one of the Bible words
-
is your word. I've hidden it in my heart that
-
might not seeing against you next week, I have to
-
declare your's like you Shaneka, we must come back to
-
that place. I tell you why, the more you hide
-
God's word in your heart, you you do the thing
-
when the more you remember about his.
-
Word need like she can't tell theai.
-
The more you allow his word to renew your mind.
-
None, ye no, God like she run who trained that
-
she can't singe the link And hiding God's word in
-
your heart is not just for you like she passed
-
seemly man, It's for people around you. But again, it
-
isn't being the rest.
-
So then when you pray for people, how on need
-
that godless hold you pray in accordance to scripture?
-
She wait reent down Godless, you.
-
Can encourage them by the scriptures that you have hidden
-
in your heart.
-
Like you told this thing when like you ca lead
-
haalent so.
-
I always like Proverbs three five No, so this signs down.
-
Oh yeah, well you'll come up to me and say,
-
can you pray for me? I'm not sure about my
-
future into the way that don't. Yeah, My classic prayer
-
is trusting the Lord and lean on in your own understanding,
-
in all your ways, acknowledge shame, and he will direct
-
your path.
-
Brother Tiwani like just like she like she's that look
-
because look, it's not my words.
-
God's word are you it is? It is his promise.
-
So when you meditate on God's word, you gotta hide
-
it in your heart.
-
Son like she who in your basket?
-
Why is the same and you can generally when it
-
comes to seeing the fruit of the world of God,
-
like you can't yu that what really encouraged me is
-
also from some chapter one.
-
Like she teaching the sid.
-
In some chapter one it says it's blessed is the
-
man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly.
-
Sip and d down the judio show down, but demo.
-
So it's very important for you to know how to
-
pick the right friend.
-
No, nonely like you heard it's.
-
Important for you to be plucked into a godly community.
-
No God, lie, she's like.
-
Nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in
-
the seat of the scornful.
-
But man renders away. Now let me say this way, sure.
-
It is okay to have fellowship with people who are
-
different from it.
-
Now woman like you heard her, woman put twice male,
-
and that.
-
In fact, when you look at the life of Jesus,
-
he can dine with everyone.
-
Kind, her rent, her eager, and she gone see.
-
He dying with tax collectors who were really horrendous. They
-
collected more than they should her nice, Yeah, like she
-
and she u he diying with the outcasts of the
-
society like she pay Piet. The church must always remember this.
-
I preached this two weeks ago, that we must always
-
love people.
-
Now you say, your youngest I put on the.
-
Sometimes that would also mean we need to discern who
-
we are fellowshipping with.
-
Being it like she uh, just a twinyy.
-
So the scripture says that we should not walk in
-
the council of the ungodly or stand in the path
-
of sinners.
-
Sending your short woman just like you and the potent
-
and the doubt.
-
Look if their lifestyle is ungodly, and will spend a
-
lot of time with them, be careful because they might
-
just influence you.
-
No scenway, this year ran its tansy the twenty twenty.
-
And that might robbed you away from God. It's so someone.
-
I mean, I shared with me before. But you know
-
it's okay. I go clubby, It's okay. I spend a
-
lot of time with my friends, drinking and whatever.
-
Now you ran.
-
Very familiar and famous saying you know, after all, Jesus
-
dying with the sinners. No just uh, yes, you can see,
-
but you must understand whenever Jesus fellowship with them, the
-
people around them changed.
-
For that Oh hunting down years to lie. She hurt
-
this year, put on the trail and go and see
-
this hold this year me wait in wait, yes to
-
a guy.
-
But if I dying with my friends and we do
-
all the nonsense stuff, the question I have to ask
-
myself is have they changed or have I changed? Her?
-
Put on the red life. She tore a thousand pussy
-
sitting in the Honda number one. Here, I want to
-
juice in the well. Big guy being has a time
-
and big eye.
-
If I've changed from someone who is on fire for
-
God and suddenly the fire fisle out that.
-
Rugo face and ways and just another hole just donna.
-
If I change from someone who is very gentle, very
-
kind to someone who is suddenly very.
-
Rough one road the igern pins.
-
If I change from someone where out of my mouth
-
cursewood was never found to someone who suddenly just starts wearing.
-
True colder man called thure colder.
-
Then I got to re evaluate my time spent with
-
my friends tied to the and I got to examine
-
my heart the same. Where am I with the Lord?
-
Water people?
-
So's he says, But his delight is in the law
-
of the Lord, and in his law he meditates day
-
and night.
-
Down away see ah yeah live so yes is the
-
answer and.
-
We must make we must make God's word our delight.
-
Hawaii like woman. That's I know.
-
Reading the world God sometimes can be very dry, but
-
also it can be like burdening at times just tongue done.
-
But if you think about it, right, why is it
-
so dry and Burdening's it's away Hawaii just a gang
-
gand just just uh tongue done. It could be that
-
I will walk with God hasn't been as close as before.
-
Now that he got a guancy male route, the young
-
number that seen me.
-
But when you're close with God, when you come to
-
the table with anticipation, just a lie now just that
-
sheep the scene, you know he can speak to you.
-
What I've got encourages us to meditate day and Nothaiian.
-
Yes, you know.
-
Sometimes I find myself meditating on my challenge and personal
-
problem moreder thn. I meditate on God's word.
-
No no fast just said that h it's ah, yes,
-
that quantine the opposition.
-
Sometimes I find myself to be meditating on the unpleasant
-
things that probably my colleagues have told me, or how
-
people in power have said certain things that makes me
-
feel quite down. And I'm be going to meditate on
-
all this word rather than what of God?
-
No, no, no way. Well like she Fastian and she
-
is young, it's at the entire appearance or manfined woman
-
that is, how are you?
-
I know it's difficult because we are all creatures of emotions.
-
In woman, that's a thing she doesn't tuns.
-
But we must make the choice to meditate on God's work.
-
Because she's not graduating like she's so yes, are.
-
You meditate on his law like she's Oh, yes, Lufa,
-
Why that is important, maticipate, because he shall be like
-
a tree in her planted by the revers of water,
-
and that brings forth its fruit in its season.
-
Answer God, that.
-
Whose sleeve also shall not winter, and whatever he does shall.
-
Prosper fantastical to those things should thing.
-
Certainly, this is God's promise for you.
-
Just a gay human.
-
Let's take in shi, when you meditate on his word
-
and told, yes, whatever he does will prosper. Leader. So
-
if you're gonna embark in a venture, told you're gonna
-
do anything, rone, you must not do it without the
-
word of God. She sing, how many of you want
-
to be like a tree planted by the rivers of water?
-
So s I guess all of us wanted. And to me,
-
a tree that is planted next to the river or
-
water speaks about constantly connected to the sauce of life.
-
Now, just don't underside men like shea.
-
Water is the source of life. That's straight. In other words,
-
I see God's word. It's also a source of life. Forest.
-
Remember when Jesus was tempted by Satan after forty days
-
of fasting Satan told him, if you're the son of
-
God turned this stone into break? Yes, you lie, she said,
-
And what did Jesus say? Yes, Joey is not here today?
-
She answered that, but anyone here? What did you say?
-
He said? Men shall not leave by break alone, Yes,
-
but by every word that proceed from God. If we
-
want to grow and we want to bear fruit to
-
be christ like.
-
She turned down. Oh, younger gods, there's.
-
No other way.
-
Same.
-
It has to be true the word of God. In
-
the whole question the how are you amen? That?
-
Okay? Sure amen?
-
In Matthew seven time down, there was a parable spoken
-
by Jesus.
-
Yeah, soon as you shorely.
-
In Many seven, verse twenty four down the city and
-
we're gonna read to verse twenty seven. Is Therefore, whoever
-
hears these sayings of mine and dust them, I will
-
liken him to a wise man who built his house
-
on the rock.
-
Show fantin what are you sing? The fund the guy that.
-
And the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds
-
blew and beat on that house, and it did not fall,
-
for it was founded on the rock.
-
Elean stray Chung Fung found found the trong in way
-
gandhi lead that punches sham.
-
But everyone who hears these things of mind and does
-
not do them will be like a foolish man who
-
built his house on.
-
The sand a solute Yeah, fantin was purchasing that how
-
big zeran, but found the shot.
-
And the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds
-
blew and beat on on that house, and it fell,
-
and great was its fall.
-
You s choung fund found found dart pinch it.
-
So there are two characters here cit just put on
-
then the wise and the foolish juices to me when
-
and remember how Jesus started. Yes, the manergic started by saying,
-
those who hear my word.
-
And do it it just yes, fanteen words and what
-
she seen that so no other words.
-
We are called to be doer of God's word and
-
not just hear. According to the Book of James.
-
You say, uh, you your shot down settin.
-
The fact, someone said before, we are accountable for the
-
message we receive.
-
Nor coner woman so ting out that why.
-
The more we hear messages, the more we read God's word,
-
the more it is required from us.
-
No gooment ting the you you juish and young woman
-
told that you can't the tour.
-
It must be accountable for what we read women, So
-
you do.
-
So.
-
Jesus likened the wise as someone who builds the house
-
on the rock.
-
Yeah, sooner you lie, you show.
-
The house to me can be a symbol of our faith.
-
Woman. The scene sing is young.
-
When you cross my bit to I believe at the
-
first Quarantine or second Corinthians, you will know that every
-
type of house will be tested through the fire.
-
That show down like she pastes it hands outing.
-
So in other words, every one of us can look alike.
-
Cant younger.
-
But what would really determine whether we are disciples or
-
not is in the depth of our foundation.
-
Because sooner like you and thing woman wrote her siglement
-
who woman, woman.
-
So let's contrast. The next light will show you between
-
the wise and the foolish.
-
Okay, can't Tommy and the fantas.
-
Every one of us want to be wise and right.
-
Every one of us, I believe should want to be
-
wise something. So the wise will listen to the word
-
of God and obey. They don't stop at hearing of
-
the word, but they act on it.
-
No sing out bud, real intention of why you.
-
The message can come by saying that love your neighbor,
-
be the good Samaritan.
-
So I needed inswer like shea how the samlia read
-
to act on it is.
-
After worship service asked ourselves, who can I be a
-
neighbor to just sing?
-
Don't know what you like? Whate woman? How the lind
-
is this?
-
The wise will always act on the word of God.
-
To men, you know, like she is saying, don't. But
-
the fool will always hear but noting.
-
You heard about the term selective hearing that your sing
-
the linkin man, selective hearing is not applicable just to
-
older people. You know, sometimes young people also got selective hearing.
-
Nateen Redman.
-
Sing the linking, so all the good things for a
-
year or the not so good thing. It just went
-
from the right year out to the left ear.
-
How they dance on the phone.
-
You can see transformation in the Wise.
-
And God she charming can't jumping.
-
But to the foolish you won't see transformation because it's
-
like the render transform nation can only come by applying God's.
-
Way in when being away outside lin so hurts, you know,
-
and can't remember.
-
We should be transformed by the renewal of our mind
-
by reading God's work.
-
My nurse like you wis Indian.
-
The wise builds on the rock.
-
And way back.
-
In West time to go deep and told building foundation
-
can be very messy. Face dig deep her mouth, and
-
more deep you dig, the more dirts you gotta.
-
Take up in When the realized how how the lies
-
she what dinner.
-
Is how God works in our life because she told
-
me she needs to take out the dirt in her
-
heart so that He can build a foundation in our heart.
-
Not high likes you about the scene. Why so sure
-
that does say?
-
How?
-
How how thetion that HAWAIII men.
-
And building foundation requires hard work?
-
Now she a country do take a just a no leader.
-
But the foolish will bill understand you guys, shot doesn't
-
like hard work when just to allow doesn't like to
-
go deep when just like true have a superficial faith
-
based on emotions, on popular popularity.
-
Or trend just the way a change she adds mean
-
to you like.
-
That's why if there's any one response in Sunday after
-
worship service, we will always ask people about that decision
-
in wanting to follow.
-
Christ's that how the like she ses when change would.
-
Because sometimes people can make decisions because horse at the
-
time the music sound right, people around them seems right.
-
Now your.
-
Or just.
-
And that so happened on the day they, by God's grace,
-
they want to be a Christian. That's what you will
-
have a counselor coming to you and to help you
-
to unpack your decision.
-
So in the whole, Honey, that's the.
-
Understanding what it meant to follow Christ.
-
That around how the teen show that she comes before.
-
You reaffirm your decision.
-
Again, that's come to years.
-
So as Christians, we cannot build our faith superficially. You
-
got food, the s, you can invest in the most
-
bombastic eye in your house, your interior design.
-
Nic like how.
-
Her? Where's a lot in your.
-
You Mary at her?
-
But if you don't have a foundation, the house is
-
going to crumble. As human beings, we are very good
-
in this way, just showing we are very good on
-
the outside.
-
Why man, she like her?
-
I also had my share of episodes. Remember what the
-
Lord says? Why it is just men look at the
-
outward appearance, but the Lord always looks at the heart.
-
Woman.
-
That's that's the wise prepares before the storm tow me.
-
How to. So remember the character. The storm is going
-
to come, the wind is going to come, the flood
-
is going to come.
-
Straight found, and.
-
The wines will always obey consistently that she shouldn't fall,
-
not only in crisis, but contain. Let me give you
-
an example. The giving to God is always very consistent me.
-
It's phncientation. There's a fairy chaln.
-
Some people they will give only when they have crisis.
-
Because sooner you're syre and mainly contain the show function.
-
Because they think that by giving crisis, then God will
-
open up the windows of heaven and pour out their
-
blessing upon your life. For the foolish faith collapses when
-
adversity kicks in.
-
Linked many seats into a question.
-
So go back to the parable of the solar. No,
-
you got four seats, there are two seats that one
-
fall on the tiny ground. Now you got to dingty
-
that they got They received the word with gladness much
-
late that are you. But when the world becomes more
-
attractive for them, because.
-
May how the ship hold? Now they get choked into
-
the twin ship?
-
Why because there's no root in the your gun, but
-
there's not a seat where it fells on uh a
-
stony ground. No link?
-
Why link that just ship hold.
-
When it gets exposed to the environment.
-
Side the sun hid that got tied on your pool side.
-
In other words, when prosecution comes, just people like in
-
this help they give up their faith found. So we
-
must build in a deep foundation.
-
Man, you like how the concession can lead the.
-
Wise will discern in trials. To me, they are able
-
to discern between what is truth and what is not truth?
-
Time and uncle, you see her?
-
You her? So when you read the word of God,
-
it helps you to discern.
-
Say, doane lies you? You can't need to leave.
-
I had a campus student asked me last week or
-
that something? You know?
-
You got a dashes?
-
And how can I discern the voice of God?
-
Like she been based listing.
-
To know the boys of God is to know his words,
-
like saying, you like so many people want to skip
-
to the part where you just want to hear from God.
-
Like she told the girl.
-
But if you don't do basic discipline of even reading
-
his word, how can you then discern His voice?
-
Seeing like you how you doing a Hawaiian And that's
-
the deepenause.
-
If you just want to you know, listen to God
-
through our spirit this and that without reading the word
-
of God, it is very dangerous.
-
Male like you? How how you do? How are you whasion?
-
Because that will mean there's no foot thing.
-
In you in when you make a talken.
-
Not every voice you hear in your spirit comes from God,
-
doesn't make so that does like that because God's voice
-
will never contradict his word in sending.
-
As a young boy like you, Eat had a hawaii
-
like you find So it's important.
-
For you to know God saying like you because Scripture
-
says it that the day will come where you will
-
have false teachers, you will have false prophets.
-
Why you show down? Who are eating?
-
Done? And if you don't hide God's word in your heart,
-
it will be easy for you to be deceived. WHI
-
So the foolish will make a wise decision based on
-
culture and not scripture. Eat a position Why scriptures I
-
believe has always stand the test of time.
-
So why Okay?
-
Like leaders, it's either you believe in the word fully
-
or you don't.
-
Ye need you want you in a sensation, you have
-
to decide and make a decision like Youating.
-
Not like because many of us we have no problem
-
abiding in.
-
Jesus no man mayor may like your years.
-
Won't he he is so kind Cinema. It's full of
-
torment that either I see Jesus have that strong shepherd,
-
and I'm that sheep in his bowls.
-
Water kind of.
-
The young he carries me ordalian war, I remember you
-
got to abide in his word?
-
Cause like she talanted, who are you limit?
-
So not just abiding in Christ, but his word as well?
-
Year shouldn't limit? Are you limit?
-
So the wines will bear fruit the gods we will.
-
The wise will have a life that reflect Christ, true
-
consistent obedience.
-
Talmana told God, then do the same me.
-
The foolish will make claims to have faith but lack
-
Christ like evidence.
-
This year.
-
Sentence who seeing seeing.
-
Band? So the day will come you and I will
-
be tested.
-
So you're eating, don't know Madadi already.
-
If it's not this season, but it will be future.
-
Gonna just a wait, because the rain in your life
-
will come.
-
What are you're about?
-
From you? The storms in your life will come?
-
You're about from you?
-
Then the flood will come knocking right at your doorsteps.
-
The wind is going to take off your roof from you.
-
The question will be will you still be found standing
-
on that rock. Wait, stirting was formed my last scripture.
-
As extreme comes to the.
-
Stage, STI shut down.
-
Now the soul of a lazy man desires and has nothing.
-
Land say more cheerwood.
-
But the soul of the diligion shall be made.
-
Rich in chenna better from you.
-
Laziness is this. We have desires, but we lack the
-
discipline to act on.
-
It because neat how that thing tru like.
-
That's why it's difficult for a lazy person to prosper.
-
You're around land, daughter and lies you from you.
-
It's difficult for a lazy person to excel around land.
-
But if we say that we are disciples in Christ casent,
-
we gotta be diligent.
-
Ginting.
-
Success and prosperity and growth will only come when one
-
is religion.
-
Churn gone higher from you to your like she tiggering
-
louder and that she can't git.
-
So when you are religion in studying the word of God.
-
How how does she ranges?
-
When your diligion in hiding God's word in your heart,
-
you know, go inching the like passion When your diligion
-
in memorizing the word of God.
-
Runs and.
-
You will be successful. I do not gone, But the
-
definition of successful is not in the eyes of the world.
-
They uh the thing in a.
-
Thing because the world defines success very differently.
-
In Wain just sing.
-
You must have your achievements, need you s you must
-
have your many titles like bann Street that three doctor h.
-
The world defines success differently.
-
Should yeah, yeah, suld take a show yo, that's thing.
-
My personal definition is just this.
-
What's the difference that the thing?
-
Young? It's to be Christ like je chance you do.
-
It's to be like Christ juice chance. That should be
-
what we should inform that this a woman s shot
-
because in my spirit right now I feel the service.
-
Emails. You can't show that share it now.
-
I see the word pressure, but you cannot ya. I
-
see the word compare because you want to compete in
-
the world.
-
In when her city and its things.
-
And because of that drive, it costs you to lose
-
certain values in.
-
Christ that you in taker you're around it like she do, Young,
-
I honestly feel that we shouldn't compete with the world.
-
She's the world in her time by.
-
Things, and we should completement the world in Gaya. She
-
is a for her what the world doesn't have.
-
Take a cityous for Mayoda.
-
We come in and we complimental life.
-
She just a nepo.
-
We live in a world where it is getting colder.
-
Just you, like you're just more people's ability to love
-
one another.
-
Beat that's taking the leading.
-
You should go in and show the love of christ
-
a city and like she like she trans we live
-
in a world where sorry to say, this is what
-
a dog eat dog world out there.
-
So much just a face, your things and leader.
-
It's like a survival of the fit handred that you
-
don't care about anyone. Even if you need to step
-
on someone so that you can propel to be successful,
-
you will step just on your life.
-
She she pay pal bets harun and like she tried.
-
How we compliment the world is to serve you. And
-
then I just real so don't compete with the world.
-
So she realized your city that's a quanyan like you.

Sometimes we think that we want to compete, only ended
-
up to be like the world.
