  3. Today. I'm going to share in this context about discipleship.

  4. She dies to take a month to patient. That's take

  5. a beating like you finished.

  6. Taken from the Book of John chapter fifteen.

  7. You have for this show.

  8. So if you have your Bible, you can turn to

  9. me a Book of John chapter fifteen.

  10. Okay, that you find out you have for in this show.

  11. And we're going to read the Word of God in

  12. John fifteen. We're going to read Versus one all the

  13. way to verse eight. Now the party very famous words

  14. you probably would have heard about this wine and branches clenty.

  15. You think King Gordless put out show you.

  16. So what's one you say? Jesus said, I am the

  17. true wine and my father is the wine dresser.

  18. Now that was she don't put out the.

  19. Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he

  20. takes away, and every branch that bears fruit he prunes

  21. that he made that it may bear more fruit.

  22. Fanci fantia, how do you surely ganteing.

  23. You are already clean because of the word which I

  24. have spoken to you sinceating Tingler abide in me and

  25. I in you. And as the branch cannot bear fruit

  26. of itself unless it abides in the wine, neither can

  27. you unless you abide in me.

  28. Chance Chance, Since young I.

  29. Am the wine, you are the branches. He who abides

  30. in me and I in him bears much fruit. For

  31. without me you can do nothing.

  32. Chance Chance Halim.

  33. If anyone does not abide in me, he is cast

  34. out as a branch and is withed. And they gathered

  35. them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned.

  36. Chance ran citylight Rensi Holy Shaula.

  37. Now the key versus what today will be taken from

  38. vers seven and eight. Verse seven, he says, if you

  39. abide in me and my words abide in you, you

  40. will ask what you desire, and it shall be done

  41. for you. By this, my father is glorified that you

  42. bear much fruit. You will be my disciples.

  43. Man Chan only mean chance fund man sure you end

  44. that she Joe into the yah nieman ye julish water mantola.

  45. So the version that I'm read earlier together with you

  46. is taken from the n K j V version, the

  47. New King James.

  48. Version England in the English Fan and I counted the

  49. number of times the word abide appeared. No changsi that

  50. they got it appeared four times.

  51. Now another translation, it may not appeared four times a male.

  52. But in your translation there will be that great emphasis

  53. on why we should abide in Christ.

  54. Because the ju uh wait a moment she took a

  55. tang ta that take a.

  56. In Greek, the word abide basically means is to stay,

  57. to remain, to dwell, and to endure sea and little

  58. to you, I like that. One of the meaning is

  59. endure now what you soon as you Because so when

  60. life goes well, when it is easy, it's easy to

  61. abide in Christ.

  62. No huntings hold she tangsly mean.

  63. But when life goes well, it is also easy to

  64. not abide in Christ.

  65. So soon as just a god hunting.

  66. And mean, because there's no dependency on God.

  67. Even she all like she is seen caution.

  68. As Christians were called to endure some.

  69. Way women sad tak who's out like she uh turns.

  70. So remember Jesus promises us a crown that if we

  71. were to endure till the end, we will have this crown.

  72. Yes, so like she use the issue the woman redman

  73. turned woman.

  74. Just a take kan and the way to endure is

  75. to abide in Christ.

  76. When you you can not go like she turned, so

  77. take a h turn. So don't want tantation?

  78. W are you limit? And if you read this context,

  79. it is not just abiding in Christ, but it is

  80. abiding in His word.

  81. Dane, She don't she tantationally? Men type a talentation? And

  82. why are you leave?

  83. In in verse seven, it says, if you abide in

  84. me and my words abide in you.

  85. That decision limit hawaii challenge any limit.

  86. So as Christians, as disciples, we must understand that to

  87. abide in Christ is to abide in His word.

  88. So you know, woman like she TANSI, why are you?

  89. This goes beyond whatever experience you may feel in church today.

  90. It's just howsie sure, because sometimes if you're not careful,

  91. it's easy to be building our faith based on what

  92. we see on the outside.

  93. So can't doubt and don't see not like she like

  94. you be a young woman sing sing.

  95. For example, you and I probably will have your favorite

  96. worship band, favorite worship.

  97. Team you wander Taming by the Twin three.

  98. And we tune in to their praise and worship song.

  99. Major Sheemating by the girl, and it lifts up our soul.

  100. You're like the scene sing when you're driving this spay

  101. attention on the road and don't be in tuned to

  102. the spirit because you need to focus on the road.

  103. That's a whole like she just funnishing And.

  104. If you don't have the discipline of reading God's work,

  105. like how do you do build our faith just around

  106. the music that we listen to faith based on the

  107. experience in church intero, we can be in the danger

  108. of not growing our faith hernuas.

  109. Uh tw.

  110. I'm trying to say sometimes we may enter into a

  111. stage where we think we are abiding in Jesus say,

  112. you know.

  113. When that even woman is in tunstionally men, but in

  114. reality we're not because sooner it's a sherman being male.

  115. Because until and unless you abide in His word, how

  116. the attention?

  117. Why are you limit?

  118. You will never abide in chess.

  119. Brand You may aband like she's tuntion yes to the limit.

  120. So the wine and the branches illustration on the screen,

  121. Jesus says, if you don't abide in Me, you cannot.

  122. Bear fruit, yes, ma, or like you how many you put.

  126. Your conne you can't go without shoe.

  127. And you know that every branch have to be connected

  128. to the wine. Take a gun, and it's the branch

  129. that carries the fruit, the grapes.

  130. Like she tears gods something.

  131. When you read the scripture, you might be wondering what

  132. fruit are we're supposed to carry.

  133. Now you're young woman, she is like she tears some

  185. say that? May tell me to.

  186. Or a snowflake generation? Why?

  187. Young un Now let me say this.

  188. This doesn't come from me, short, short, this comes from

  189. what I read this water you're doing. Most people would

  190. probably have read the same thing. Now, you younger young

  191. if you're in business you own a company, or if

  192. you're in employment, you will see there's a difference between

  193. fresh grades trade and people who have been seasoned working.

  206. A teen just because you have filled one.

  207. Paper currently Partic's it doesn't mean you have to give up.

  208. Just so, when you abide in Christ and his words,

  209. you have to bear even the fruit of long suffering.

  210. No, certainly in she are like she just how how

  211. the turn so even the fruit of self control Centernatiah.

  212. Some of us we really need to work on our

  213. ability to have a form of self control. Now how then,

  214. sometimes it's how we converse with you woman her. Sometimes

  215. it's how we respond when we are agitated. Now, you

  216. and I probably have encountered people when they're agitated. The

  217. moment they speak, it's like a train let loose from

  218. their mouth and everything just come out and there's no

  219. never ending.

  220. Now there's a whole instantly the whold had to water

  221. down the mouth to the milk into them.

  222. But the Bible encourages us as disciples to know how

  223. to hold our.

  224. Town COERSI Lioman like she ses you.

  225. Because our town is like a rather of the.

  226. Ship mandakamanda shirt hold you twenty men, niggar niggergag don't see.

  228. but the ship will know will not go anywhere without

  229. its direction.

  230. Niga trance understands, shall be her take trying to face under.

  231. Because salvas we lack self control.

  233. In our mouth it so we've got abiding Christ. So

  234. you turn that yes to the limit to give us

  235. the courage.

  236. How al may you take?

  237. So picture is up? You will know that Jesus said

  238. earlier in John fifteen, without me you can do nothing.

  239. Now, yes, you that you have show may how woman

  240. some of the without abiding in Jesus, we can never

  241. bear this fruit. Now yes to them the harmon she

  242. wouldn't go like.

  243. She can't hear an amen?

  247. When you abide in His word Russian highly min her.

  248. You become a walking Bible that people read.

  249. Did you better or the certain don't?

  250. In the context of evangelism, you know, I always say

  251. that before you want people to read your Bible, they

  252. got to read your life.

  253. What's the sales you ye do the centainsition ha many

  254. continued the same means because when they.

  255. Read your life, they got to see Christ and His

  256. word living in you.

  257. Lies You're doing the mean that's whole. Now you can't

  258. me haman kant.

  259. No, sometimes we want to evangelize to people.

  260. No, man, you're like you heard you reach out to

  261. people when you hurt horanized she fanc quick.

  262. To take out the Bible, inquite your national quick to

  263. do Bible study and quite you lie, which is good,

  264. finish on the bank. But make sure our life is

  265. congruent to the Bible that we read.

  266. Because you know, monreal lies how the chip home and

  267. the same thing.

  268. Is either otherwise there is a discrepancy you fanta, the

  269. word says this wha. It's not sure, but we are

  270. living totally opposite.

  271. No, majes fantastic than I should go.

  272. We must live in alignment to God's work.

  273. Now material Lieshi like you do it.

  274. So say to your neighbor if you believe this, No,

  275. tell me that you can be the walking Bible.

  276. You're saying the centing.

  277. So how do we abide in Christ? Say meant tanta,

  278. meant many of it? We're not this basic tell and

  279. that I don't take a deep I don't have to

  280. narrow down on this except to say that you must

  281. have time spend with God through devotion.

  282. So she didn't like her.

  283. And it's you must have a consistency in reading the

  284. words you you must learn how to eliminate distraction from

  285. your life.

  286. Yeah, he found around in fancying that she found that.

  287. We're living in a more distracted world.

  288. Well that's just who got her own fancying that we.

  289. Are living in a world where there are many excitements

  290. and the Word of God may not be an excitement.

  291. Now seeing fun because you ramana famine.

  292. We must learn to study the word of God. That's

  293. one thing about reading for the sake of knowledge. And

  294. there's one thing about reading to be in a point

  295. where the Word of God transforms inside out. So you have.

  296. Her digs and why are you you why you go

  297. to umbilment the same mean your finds had.

  298. Some people can quote scriptures from Genesis all the way

  299. to Revelation and Revelation all the way back to Genesis.

  300. Second, and you're sharing the she uh just a transity

  301. dat you the thing when they found.

  302. Me a casuna, which is very admirable.

  303. Cities a face banda.

  304. But ultimately it's not how much you know, but it's

  305. how much you have applied in what you know.

  306. Cauter the thing when you do shout sooner she got

  307. be need.

  308. So do not be impressed with people who can just quote.

  309. Scriptures say not be able to sit down like simple

  310. thing random go like she did the soyer that things went.

  311. Be impressed with people who lift out the scriptures and

  312. you're able to see the fruits in it.

  313. Sooner my inca can away and ration and waii interest

  314. and why you like you don't send me.

  315. So when you read the word of God, read it

  316. from a point where it only fits your intellectuality, but

  317. it doesn't fit your spirit, does horna just a year?

  318. And the way to fit your spirit is to meditate

  319. on the word of God.

  320. No man yeah like she wait no, not just that she.

  321. Reflect on the word of God that you fancy. Do

  322. not rush in your reading?

  323. Are just maman?

  324. Do editating the world of God. We then intend with

  325. the purpose of asking God to reveal to me what

  326. is it that you want me to know? What is

  327. it that you want me to understand? Lies?

  328. There's the whole no manial lies. She's indeed ration like

  329. she like she hi Almas bombing by the city.

  330. And as we grow further in the Lord, we must

  331. learn to memorize scriptures.

  332. Now, man lies, you can't tell the reation. No, man,

  333. youal lies.

  334. She like she pays WHI you must go beyond John three.

  335. Sixteen ther life she beaichi. That's how you have.

  336. We must hide God scriptures in our heart by memorizing.

  337. Pasha and machinele Men, you must.

  338. Take it as diligently like how you memorize your academic syllables.

  339. Formula, how her life she pays, the fountains chat and

  340. the number young big.

  341. Young people, please listen to me, Ram And when you

  342. are young than Indians, your brain works very well in

  343. that ton. Do you want to make sure that when

  344. you're young to memorize as much scriptures as possible?

  345. Then your chair bound and it's an Indian your how

  346. like she paid?

  347. Of course, when you reach my age, it gets slightly

  348. difficult because the ram memory here is a bit down.

  349. Living house.

  350. I say this respectfully because it's true.

  351. No, just a thing that like.

  352. Scriptures that memorize up to today. It's a foundation I

  353. built when I was young. No, No, this Indian lady

  354. chat when I go for Bible classes, not.

  355. Just your curtain.

  356. Before we end the class, the teacher will say, okay,

  357. these are two memory words. When you come back next week,

  358. everyone have to share the memory words without reading the Bible.

  359. No, she you call the shana your year just around,

  360. but she pays song to see thing.

  361. So for example, to this to this lesson is about

  362. the word of God, and one of the Bible words

  363. is your word. I've hidden it in my heart that

  364. might not seeing against you next week, I have to

  365. declare your's like you Shaneka, we must come back to

  366. that place. I tell you why, the more you hide

  367. God's word in your heart, you you do the thing

  368. when the more you remember about his.

  369. Word need like she can't tell theai.

  370. The more you allow his word to renew your mind.

  371. None, ye no, God like she run who trained that

  372. she can't singe the link And hiding God's word in

  373. your heart is not just for you like she passed

  374. seemly man, It's for people around you. But again, it

  375. isn't being the rest.

  376. So then when you pray for people, how on need

  377. that godless hold you pray in accordance to scripture?

  378. She wait reent down Godless, you.

  379. Can encourage them by the scriptures that you have hidden

  380. in your heart.

  381. Like you told this thing when like you ca lead

  382. haalent so.

  383. I always like Proverbs three five No, so this signs down.

  384. Oh yeah, well you'll come up to me and say,

  385. can you pray for me? I'm not sure about my

  386. future into the way that don't. Yeah, My classic prayer

  387. is trusting the Lord and lean on in your own understanding,

  388. in all your ways, acknowledge shame, and he will direct

  389. your path.

  390. Brother Tiwani like just like she like she's that look

  391. because look, it's not my words.

  392. God's word are you it is? It is his promise.

  393. So when you meditate on God's word, you gotta hide

  394. it in your heart.

  395. Son like she who in your basket?

  396. Why is the same and you can generally when it

  397. comes to seeing the fruit of the world of God,

  398. like you can't yu that what really encouraged me is

  399. also from some chapter one.

  400. Like she teaching the sid.

  401. In some chapter one it says it's blessed is the

  402. man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly.

  403. Sip and d down the judio show down, but demo.

  404. So it's very important for you to know how to

  405. pick the right friend.

  406. No, nonely like you heard it's.

  407. Important for you to be plucked into a godly community.

  408. No God, lie, she's like.

  409. Nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in

  410. the seat of the scornful.

  411. But man renders away. Now let me say this way, sure.

  412. It is okay to have fellowship with people who are

  413. different from it.

  414. Now woman like you heard her, woman put twice male,

  415. and that.

  416. In fact, when you look at the life of Jesus,

  417. he can dine with everyone.

  418. Kind, her rent, her eager, and she gone see.

  419. He dying with tax collectors who were really horrendous. They

  420. collected more than they should her nice, Yeah, like she

  421. and she u he diying with the outcasts of the

  422. society like she pay Piet. The church must always remember this.

  423. I preached this two weeks ago, that we must always

  424. love people.

  425. Now you say, your youngest I put on the.

  426. Sometimes that would also mean we need to discern who

  427. we are fellowshipping with.

  428. Being it like she uh, just a twinyy.

  429. So the scripture says that we should not walk in

  430. the council of the ungodly or stand in the path

  431. of sinners.

  432. Sending your short woman just like you and the potent

  433. and the doubt.

  434. Look if their lifestyle is ungodly, and will spend a

  435. lot of time with them, be careful because they might

  436. just influence you.

  437. No scenway, this year ran its tansy the twenty twenty.

  438. And that might robbed you away from God. It's so someone.

  439. I mean, I shared with me before. But you know

  440. it's okay. I go clubby, It's okay. I spend a

  441. lot of time with my friends, drinking and whatever.

  442. Now you ran.

  443. Very familiar and famous saying you know, after all, Jesus

  444. dying with the sinners. No just uh, yes, you can see,

  445. but you must understand whenever Jesus fellowship with them, the

  446. people around them changed.

  447. For that Oh hunting down years to lie. She hurt

  448. this year, put on the trail and go and see

  449. this hold this year me wait in wait, yes to

  450. a guy.

  451. But if I dying with my friends and we do

  452. all the nonsense stuff, the question I have to ask

  453. myself is have they changed or have I changed? Her?

  454. Put on the red life. She tore a thousand pussy

  455. sitting in the Honda number one. Here, I want to

  456. juice in the well. Big guy being has a time

  457. and big eye.

  458. If I've changed from someone who is on fire for

  459. God and suddenly the fire fisle out that.

  460. Rugo face and ways and just another hole just donna.

  461. If I change from someone who is very gentle, very

  462. kind to someone who is suddenly very.

  463. Rough one road the igern pins.

  464. If I change from someone where out of my mouth

  465. cursewood was never found to someone who suddenly just starts wearing.

  466. True colder man called thure colder.

  467. Then I got to re evaluate my time spent with

  468. my friends tied to the and I got to examine

  469. my heart the same. Where am I with the Lord?

  470. Water people?

  471. So's he says, But his delight is in the law

  472. of the Lord, and in his law he meditates day

  473. and night.

  474. Down away see ah yeah live so yes is the

  475. answer and.

  476. We must make we must make God's word our delight.

  477. Hawaii like woman. That's I know.

  478. Reading the world God sometimes can be very dry, but

  479. also it can be like burdening at times just tongue done.

  480. But if you think about it, right, why is it

  481. so dry and Burdening's it's away Hawaii just a gang

  482. gand just just uh tongue done. It could be that

  483. I will walk with God hasn't been as close as before.

  484. Now that he got a guancy male route, the young

  485. number that seen me.

  486. But when you're close with God, when you come to

  487. the table with anticipation, just a lie now just that

  488. sheep the scene, you know he can speak to you.

  489. What I've got encourages us to meditate day and Nothaiian.

  490. Yes, you know.

  491. Sometimes I find myself meditating on my challenge and personal

  492. problem moreder thn. I meditate on God's word.

  493. No no fast just said that h it's ah, yes,

  494. that quantine the opposition.

  495. Sometimes I find myself to be meditating on the unpleasant

  496. things that probably my colleagues have told me, or how

  497. people in power have said certain things that makes me

  498. feel quite down. And I'm be going to meditate on

  499. all this word rather than what of God?

  500. No, no, no way. Well like she Fastian and she

  501. is young, it's at the entire appearance or manfined woman

  502. that is, how are you?

  503. I know it's difficult because we are all creatures of emotions.

  504. In woman, that's a thing she doesn't tuns.

  505. But we must make the choice to meditate on God's work.

  506. Because she's not graduating like she's so yes, are.

  507. You meditate on his law like she's Oh, yes, Lufa,

  508. Why that is important, maticipate, because he shall be like

  509. a tree in her planted by the revers of water,

  510. and that brings forth its fruit in its season.

  511. Answer God, that.

  512. Whose sleeve also shall not winter, and whatever he does shall.

  513. Prosper fantastical to those things should thing.

  514. Certainly, this is God's promise for you.

  515. Just a gay human.

  516. Let's take in shi, when you meditate on his word

  517. and told, yes, whatever he does will prosper. Leader. So

  518. if you're gonna embark in a venture, told you're gonna

  519. do anything, rone, you must not do it without the

  520. word of God. She sing, how many of you want

  521. to be like a tree planted by the rivers of water?

  522. So s I guess all of us wanted. And to me,

  523. a tree that is planted next to the river or

  524. water speaks about constantly connected to the sauce of life.

  525. Now, just don't underside men like shea.

  526. Water is the source of life. That's straight. In other words,

  527. I see God's word. It's also a source of life. Forest.

  528. Remember when Jesus was tempted by Satan after forty days

  529. of fasting Satan told him, if you're the son of

  530. God turned this stone into break? Yes, you lie, she said,

  531. And what did Jesus say? Yes, Joey is not here today?

  532. She answered that, but anyone here? What did you say?

  533. He said? Men shall not leave by break alone, Yes,

  534. but by every word that proceed from God. If we

  535. want to grow and we want to bear fruit to

  536. be christ like.

  537. She turned down. Oh, younger gods, there's.

  538. No other way.

  539. Same.

  540. It has to be true the word of God. In

  541. the whole question the how are you amen? That?

  542. Okay? Sure amen?

  543. In Matthew seven time down, there was a parable spoken

  544. by Jesus.

  545. Yeah, soon as you shorely.

  546. In Many seven, verse twenty four down the city and

  547. we're gonna read to verse twenty seven. Is Therefore, whoever

  548. hears these sayings of mine and dust them, I will

  549. liken him to a wise man who built his house

  550. on the rock.

  551. Show fantin what are you sing? The fund the guy that.

  552. And the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds

  553. blew and beat on that house, and it did not fall,

  554. for it was founded on the rock.

  555. Elean stray Chung Fung found found the trong in way

  556. gandhi lead that punches sham.

  557. But everyone who hears these things of mind and does

  558. not do them will be like a foolish man who

  559. built his house on.

  560. The sand a solute Yeah, fantin was purchasing that how

  561. big zeran, but found the shot.

  562. And the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds

  563. blew and beat on on that house, and it fell,

  564. and great was its fall.

  565. You s choung fund found found dart pinch it.

  566. So there are two characters here cit just put on

  567. then the wise and the foolish juices to me when

  568. and remember how Jesus started. Yes, the manergic started by saying,

  569. those who hear my word.

  570. And do it it just yes, fanteen words and what

  571. she seen that so no other words.

  572. We are called to be doer of God's word and

  573. not just hear. According to the Book of James.

  574. You say, uh, you your shot down settin.

  575. The fact, someone said before, we are accountable for the

  576. message we receive.

  577. Nor coner woman so ting out that why.

  578. The more we hear messages, the more we read God's word,

  579. the more it is required from us.

  580. No gooment ting the you you juish and young woman

  581. told that you can't the tour.

  582. It must be accountable for what we read women, So

  583. you do.

  584. So.

  585. Jesus likened the wise as someone who builds the house

  586. on the rock.

  587. Yeah, sooner you lie, you show.

  588. The house to me can be a symbol of our faith.

  589. Woman. The scene sing is young.

  590. When you cross my bit to I believe at the

  591. first Quarantine or second Corinthians, you will know that every

  592. type of house will be tested through the fire.

  593. That show down like she pastes it hands outing.

  594. So in other words, every one of us can look alike.

  595. Cant younger.

  596. But what would really determine whether we are disciples or

  597. not is in the depth of our foundation.

  598. Because sooner like you and thing woman wrote her siglement

  599. who woman, woman.

  600. So let's contrast. The next light will show you between

  601. the wise and the foolish.

  602. Okay, can't Tommy and the fantas.

  603. Every one of us want to be wise and right.

  604. Every one of us, I believe should want to be

  605. wise something. So the wise will listen to the word

  606. of God and obey. They don't stop at hearing of

  607. the word, but they act on it.

  608. No sing out bud, real intention of why you.

  609. The message can come by saying that love your neighbor,

  610. be the good Samaritan.

  611. So I needed inswer like shea how the samlia read

  612. to act on it is.

  613. After worship service asked ourselves, who can I be a

  614. neighbor to just sing?

  615. Don't know what you like? Whate woman? How the lind

  616. is this?

  617. The wise will always act on the word of God.

  618. To men, you know, like she is saying, don't. But

  619. the fool will always hear but noting.

  620. You heard about the term selective hearing that your sing

  621. the linkin man, selective hearing is not applicable just to

  622. older people. You know, sometimes young people also got selective hearing.

  623. Nateen Redman.

  624. Sing the linking, so all the good things for a

  625. year or the not so good thing. It just went

  626. from the right year out to the left ear.

  627. How they dance on the phone.

  628. You can see transformation in the Wise.

  629. And God she charming can't jumping.

  630. But to the foolish you won't see transformation because it's

  631. like the render transform nation can only come by applying God's.

  632. Way in when being away outside lin so hurts, you know,

  633. and can't remember.

  634. We should be transformed by the renewal of our mind

  635. by reading God's work.

  636. My nurse like you wis Indian.

  637. The wise builds on the rock.

  638. And way back.

  639. In West time to go deep and told building foundation

  640. can be very messy. Face dig deep her mouth, and

  641. more deep you dig, the more dirts you gotta.

  642. Take up in When the realized how how the lies

  643. she what dinner.

  644. Is how God works in our life because she told

  645. me she needs to take out the dirt in her

  646. heart so that He can build a foundation in our heart.

  647. Not high likes you about the scene. Why so sure

  648. that does say?

  649. How?

  650. How how thetion that HAWAIII men.

  651. And building foundation requires hard work?

  652. Now she a country do take a just a no leader.

  653. But the foolish will bill understand you guys, shot doesn't

  654. like hard work when just to allow doesn't like to

  655. go deep when just like true have a superficial faith

  656. based on emotions, on popular popularity.

  657. Or trend just the way a change she adds mean

  658. to you like.

  659. That's why if there's any one response in Sunday after

  660. worship service, we will always ask people about that decision

  661. in wanting to follow.

  662. Christ's that how the like she ses when change would.

  663. Because sometimes people can make decisions because horse at the

  664. time the music sound right, people around them seems right.

  665. Now your.

  666. Or just.

  667. And that so happened on the day they, by God's grace,

  668. they want to be a Christian. That's what you will

  669. have a counselor coming to you and to help you

  670. to unpack your decision.

  671. So in the whole, Honey, that's the.

  672. Understanding what it meant to follow Christ.

  673. That around how the teen show that she comes before.

  674. You reaffirm your decision.

  675. Again, that's come to years.

  676. So as Christians, we cannot build our faith superficially. You

  677. got food, the s, you can invest in the most

  678. bombastic eye in your house, your interior design.

  679. Nic like how.

  680. Her? Where's a lot in your.

  681. You Mary at her?

  682. But if you don't have a foundation, the house is

  683. going to crumble. As human beings, we are very good

  684. in this way, just showing we are very good on

  685. the outside.

  686. Why man, she like her?

  687. I also had my share of episodes. Remember what the

  688. Lord says? Why it is just men look at the

  689. outward appearance, but the Lord always looks at the heart.

  690. Woman.

  691. That's that's the wise prepares before the storm tow me.

  692. How to. So remember the character. The storm is going

  693. to come, the wind is going to come, the flood

  694. is going to come.

  695. Straight found, and.

  696. The wines will always obey consistently that she shouldn't fall,

  697. not only in crisis, but contain. Let me give you

  698. an example. The giving to God is always very consistent me.

  699. It's phncientation. There's a fairy chaln.

  700. Some people they will give only when they have crisis.

  701. Because sooner you're syre and mainly contain the show function.

  702. Because they think that by giving crisis, then God will

  703. open up the windows of heaven and pour out their

  704. blessing upon your life. For the foolish faith collapses when

  705. adversity kicks in.

  706. Linked many seats into a question.

  707. So go back to the parable of the solar. No,

  708. you got four seats, there are two seats that one

  709. fall on the tiny ground. Now you got to dingty

  710. that they got They received the word with gladness much

  711. late that are you. But when the world becomes more

  712. attractive for them, because.

  713. May how the ship hold? Now they get choked into

  714. the twin ship?

  715. Why because there's no root in the your gun, but

  716. there's not a seat where it fells on uh a

  717. stony ground. No link?

  718. Why link that just ship hold.

  719. When it gets exposed to the environment.

  720. Side the sun hid that got tied on your pool side.

  721. In other words, when prosecution comes, just people like in

  722. this help they give up their faith found. So we

  723. must build in a deep foundation.

  724. Man, you like how the concession can lead the.

  725. Wise will discern in trials. To me, they are able

  726. to discern between what is truth and what is not truth?

  727. Time and uncle, you see her?

  728. You her? So when you read the word of God,

  729. it helps you to discern.

  730. Say, doane lies you? You can't need to leave.

  731. I had a campus student asked me last week or

  732. that something? You know?

  733. You got a dashes?

  734. And how can I discern the voice of God?

  735. Like she been based listing.

  736. To know the boys of God is to know his words,

  737. like saying, you like so many people want to skip

  738. to the part where you just want to hear from God.

  739. Like she told the girl.

  740. But if you don't do basic discipline of even reading

  741. his word, how can you then discern His voice?

  742. Seeing like you how you doing a Hawaiian And that's

  743. the deepenause.

  744. If you just want to you know, listen to God

  745. through our spirit this and that without reading the word

  746. of God, it is very dangerous.

  747. Male like you? How how you do? How are you whasion?

  748. Because that will mean there's no foot thing.

  749. In you in when you make a talken.

  750. Not every voice you hear in your spirit comes from God,

  751. doesn't make so that does like that because God's voice

  752. will never contradict his word in sending.

  753. As a young boy like you, Eat had a hawaii

  754. like you find So it's important.

  755. For you to know God saying like you because Scripture

  756. says it that the day will come where you will

  757. have false teachers, you will have false prophets.

  758. Why you show down? Who are eating?

  759. Done? And if you don't hide God's word in your heart,

  760. it will be easy for you to be deceived. WHI

  761. So the foolish will make a wise decision based on

  762. culture and not scripture. Eat a position Why scriptures I

  763. believe has always stand the test of time.

  764. So why Okay?

  765. Like leaders, it's either you believe in the word fully

  766. or you don't.

  767. Ye need you want you in a sensation, you have

  768. to decide and make a decision like Youating.

  769. Not like because many of us we have no problem

  770. abiding in.

  771. Jesus no man mayor may like your years.

  772. Won't he he is so kind Cinema. It's full of

  773. torment that either I see Jesus have that strong shepherd,

  774. and I'm that sheep in his bowls.

  775. Water kind of.

  776. The young he carries me ordalian war, I remember you

  777. got to abide in his word?

  778. Cause like she talanted, who are you limit?

  779. So not just abiding in Christ, but his word as well?

  780. Year shouldn't limit? Are you limit?

  781. So the wines will bear fruit the gods we will.

  782. The wise will have a life that reflect Christ, true

  783. consistent obedience.

  784. Talmana told God, then do the same me.

  785. The foolish will make claims to have faith but lack

  786. Christ like evidence.

  787. This year.

  788. Sentence who seeing seeing.

  789. Band? So the day will come you and I will

  790. be tested.

  791. So you're eating, don't know Madadi already.

  792. If it's not this season, but it will be future.

  793. Gonna just a wait, because the rain in your life

  794. will come.

  795. What are you're about?

  796. From you? The storms in your life will come?

  797. You're about from you?

  798. Then the flood will come knocking right at your doorsteps.

  799. The wind is going to take off your roof from you.

  800. The question will be will you still be found standing

  801. on that rock. Wait, stirting was formed my last scripture.

  802. As extreme comes to the.

  803. Stage, STI shut down.

  804. Now the soul of a lazy man desires and has nothing.

  805. Land say more cheerwood.

  806. But the soul of the diligion shall be made.

  807. Rich in chenna better from you.

  808. Laziness is this. We have desires, but we lack the

  809. discipline to act on.

  810. It because neat how that thing tru like.

  811. That's why it's difficult for a lazy person to prosper.

  812. You're around land, daughter and lies you from you.

  813. It's difficult for a lazy person to excel around land.

  814. But if we say that we are disciples in Christ casent,

  815. we gotta be diligent.

  816. Ginting.

  817. Success and prosperity and growth will only come when one

  818. is religion.

  819. Churn gone higher from you to your like she tiggering

  820. louder and that she can't git.

  821. So when you are religion in studying the word of God.

  824. you know, go inching the like passion When your diligion

  825. in memorizing the word of God.

  826. Runs and.

  833. have your many titles like bann Street that three doctor h.

  834. The world defines success differently.

  835. Should yeah, yeah, suld take a show yo, that's thing.

  836. My personal definition is just this.

  837. What's the difference that the thing?

  838. Young? It's to be Christ like je chance you do.

  839. It's to be like Christ juice chance. That should be

  840. what we should inform that this a woman s shot
