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

  2. We hope this message will light up your tea.

  3. As I was preparing, as I was driving one day,

  4. suddenly this word came to me, you know, and it uh,

  5. the word it came to me was Jesus is the

  6. god okay, good, not the bear god? Okay? But g

  7. O A T. Anybody have any idea what g O

  8. A T means? Greatest of all time? Yay? And so

  9. you you will notice because right our generation today very

  10. like to use all these short economs one, uh you know,

  11. I I y K y k y k is something

  12. like that. Uh you know l O L or what

  13. you know, all kind of funny, funny funny short forms

  14. are okay, uh you know what, they be very creative. Uh.

  15. And so I decided to write on it as I

  16. felt that. And I think there's no better person to

  17. to share on than the name of Jesus. Even as

  18. we enter the town Christmas, right because Christmas is all

  19. about Jesus, G says, is the reason for the season. Okay.

  20. And before we go, then let's let's just do simple activity. Okay,

  21. the next light. So when you see this, right, who

  22. do you think is the good? What do you think?

  23. Let's let's play a simple activity. Okay, come on, come,

  24. I shut it out. Okay, I don't know. I just

  25. googled this right. NBA says, is between Lebron James and

  26. what's the other guys name? Michael Jordan hm hmm, some

  27. somebody else? Some who else? What was the answer? Someone says, Corey? Okay,

  28. Steph Covey, Yeah, I heard that. So somebody said cob

  29. when Okay, so we can debate that, we can debate.

  30. Maybe someone have different answers. Okay, let's keep going. Next one,

  31. what do you think? Come answer? I'm not think Massy

  32. Oh sorry, arresting Nado. That's not sure, okay. I think

  33. many of us for things Massilla. Okay, okay, but I'm

  34. not sure to give you an answer because maybe we

  35. may have different opinions. Okay, So let's keep going. Let's

  36. have some fun. Now, what about this? This one a

  37. true Malaysian, true Malaysian if you're if you're Malaysian and

  38. you say Linda, something is I think a unique payer.

  39. But but probably in some ways, Linden, and also in

  40. many ways. So so it's it's uh, I don't know

  41. some people may have different opinions, but as Malaysians, definitely

  42. man okay uh okay, next one, next one, this tough

  43. wish laksa, pinang laxa or sara laxa. Okay, shout your

  44. answer one to tree. Okay, I can't wait here. The

  45. answer I I heard Malaysia. Okay, we can cut your

  46. debate is later. Okay, okay, next one, next one. How

  47. about Jesus' disciples. Oh, Jesus really got in, said Jesus.

  48. I said, Jesus disciples, disciples, Paul pal not in the

  49. child flower a postor Okay, okay, yeah, so okay, designs.

  50. It's a tough one. Okay, many of us who say

  51. it is Peter who thinks Peter. But if you read

  52. the Bible, you will know that both the sons of Zebedee,

  53. James and John went to Jesus and asked to sit

  54. at his side. You know, actually the mom did that, actually, Naime,

  55. and Jesus said, you know, if you want to be

  56. the greatest self, be a servant for all you know.

  57. And so Jesus has a very different definition of great

  58. or greatness. Okay, So I won't debate about that. I

  59. won't even give you an answer on that, because really

  60. it's about serving, as the Bible says, Jesus says it. Okay,

  61. but you see, many of us can debate who is

  62. the greatest of all time between some of these categories,

  63. but no one can dispute that the greatest of all time,

  64. the man who has ever walked the face of the earth,

  65. the greatest of all time is Jesus Christ. He covers

  66. every category. The greatest of all time is Jesus Christ.

  67. And there's the mathists the title of a message today.

  68. Jesus is the god g eighty greatest of all time.

  69. And so we may look at many great people on

  70. the face of the earth. Maybe someone say Albert Einstein,

  71. Maybe someone say us President. Maybe will say some famous

  72. influence or artists. Not even Elon Muss is greater than Jesus.

  73. By the way, I just read two days ago Elmas

  74. Network kid about for the eight billion. Imagine how much

  75. money that is. But not even Elon Mus is greater

  76. than Jesus. Jesus is the greatest of all time who

  77. has ever walked the face of the earth. In fact,

  78. every other religious guru or teacher is in the great

  79. and still remain in it except for Jesus Christ, the

  80. only one who has reasoned from the day and is

  81. alive today, and we celebrate him. Amen, pace a lot.

  82. So I'm gonna give you four reasons why Jesus is

  83. the God, okay, and he will come in the letters G, O,

  84. A T. Are you ready? Here we go? One. The

  85. first one is the most obvious G, which is God.

  86. How many of you know that Jesus is God. If

  87. you didn't know, I pay it, you'll know today, Okay.

  88. Jesus himself is God. John one eighteen says this, no

  89. one has ever seen God, but the one and only son,

  90. who is himself God and is in closest relationship with

  91. the Father, has made him known. So the Bible is

  92. very clear, and you will find many scriptures that point

  93. towards that, is my okay. Of course, you know sometimes

  94. the scholars, I mean, if you have a debate with

  95. some of with certain people, they may ask you to

  96. point a scripture that Jesus explicitly says I am God.

  97. Actually you won't find it, okay, but there are instances

  98. like this that is very clear. He's talking about him,

  99. and he says he himself is God right and his

  100. closest relationship with the Father. Okay, let make you another

  101. one Collosians one fifteen. He is the image of the

  102. invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. So Jesus Christ

  103. is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over

  104. all creation. So he came down himself with God. He

  105. came down incarnated into flesh, God made flesh, came down

  106. as a human being and walked the earth. And he

  107. is the image of God that walk on the face

  108. of the earth. So Jesus is the God. He is

  109. both supreme and sufficient. What don't you say this to me?

  110. Supreme sufficient, He is both supreme and sufficient, supreme for

  111. our salvation, sufficient for our centification. So in many other

  112. religions you find that they need to work on their salvation,

  113. needed to do good works. Why did they do good

  114. works to outweigh or to balance the scale, you know,

  115. to balance it so that they have more good works

  116. than bad deeds. Right, But in Christianity, none of us

  117. can ever earn our salvation ourselves, no matter how much

  118. good works you do, no matter how much charity we do.

  119. In fact, a Bible says that our good deeds are

  120. like filty racks, you know. And so no matter how

  121. much we do, we could never earn our own salvation.

  122. It is a free gift that God has given to

  123. us because we can never be perfect enough. Right. God

  124. is perfect and he demands perfection, but we can never

  125. be perfect enough to equal to him. And so that's

  126. why Jesus Christ had to pay the prist for us.

  127. Because you and I can never do it on our own.

  128. Christ came now from heaven to do it for us.

  129. He made the first move. All we need to do

  130. is to receive him. Amen. Let's now al turn our

  131. bibles to Ephesians chapter two, verse four to ten. Emphesians

  132. chapter two, verse four to ten. If you're there, say yeah, okay.

  133. Ephesian chapter two, verse four to ten. He says, But God,

  134. who is rich in mercy, because of his great love

  135. with which he loved us, even when we were dead

  136. in trespassers, made us alive together with Christ by grace

  137. you have been saved and race us up together and

  138. made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,

  139. then in the ages to come, he might show the

  140. exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness towards us

  141. in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved

  142. through faith, and that not of yourselves. It is the

  143. gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.

  144. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus, for

  145. good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk

  146. in them. Amen. So we are saved by grace, Amen.

  147. Or we are not saved by works, but we are

  148. saved for good works. Is a products by part of it, Okay.

  149. So the Bible says that it is a gift from God. Friends,

  150. salvation is this salvation is a gift for the past, present,

  151. and the future. Say to me, past, present, future, Say

  152. one more time, past, present, future. Salvation is a gift

  153. for the past, present, and future. You and I. We

  154. are pardoned for the past. We have peace for the present,

  155. and we have a promise for the future. The full

  156. package of what's salvation is pardon for the past, piece

  157. for the present, forms for the future. We're gonna take

  158. it one by one. Bible says that if we confess

  159. our scenes, he is faithful and just and will forgive

  160. us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. So

  161. I said that we are pardoned from our past right,

  162. and some of us may have done terrible things you

  163. know in the past, or if I ask you today,

  164. like if I could turn back time and change your life,

  165. and what would you do differently? I think there'll be

  166. many of us who will wish we didn't do certain

  167. things right, terrible things. We wish it never happened. Some

  168. was an honest mistake, some we knew as well, but

  169. we did it anyway. And some of you may still

  170. be holding that guilt or even worse, that shame. And

  171. sometimes the devil will take advantage of it and rob

  172. you even more when they lie into your ears and

  173. say you're not good enough. Friends have been there before.

  174. I know what it's like. The enemy is very good

  175. at taking opportunity when we feel that we are not

  176. good enough for God. I want you to know that

  177. you and I, as long as we have confessed with

  178. our mouth and repent, Jesus Christ has forgiven our sins.

  179. You've got to believe that we are pardoned for our past. Amen.

  180. Psalm one hundred and three. Chelse says says this as

  181. far as the easies from the west, so far as

  182. he we moved our transgressions from us. How amazing that is.

  183. In fact, many of us may not forget certain things.

  184. They have done, terrible things, the memories em bettered deep

  185. in our minds. But do you know something amazing? God

  186. does not remember our since did you know that Bible

  187. says in Hebrews eight twelve, for I will be merciful

  188. to the unrighteousness and the sins and their lawless deeds.

  189. I will remember know more and you can find upout.

  190. I think three of fose scriptures that talks about is

  191. that he says I will not remember their sins. And

  192. this is one thing that we say, I've been thinking

  193. pondering about and he barefos me right, that God, who

  194. is all knowing yet does not remember your sins. Can

  195. you imagine how amazing that is? How can someone who

  196. is all knowing can forget your scenes in the sense

  197. or not remember your scenes? You know? That is how

  198. amazing God is. There is you know? Is a uh,

  199. It's who God is you And I may never fully

  200. be able to comprehend a fathom how great and how

  201. amazing God is A man, I wouldn't be so glad

  202. that God does not remember our sins, because if he does,

  203. we will be a lot of trouble humans do humans

  204. always remember a wrongdoings. You know, you will find this

  205. very common, not very common. But it does happen in marriages,

  206. you know what I mean. Right, I'm not speaking from

  207. my experience because my marriage is still young love, we're

  208. still honeymoon one year. Everything is good, praist a lot,

  209. you know. But those of you who walked no longer

  210. you know, right, Sometimes ether a husband, why I do

  211. something wrong? Then they do it again. Now you say, oh, yeah,

  212. I see you always had that, You did that ten

  213. years ago, you know, still doing it until now, oh

  214. ten years the goes to remember, you know, it happens.

  215. So I'm speaking for our experience, not as a husband,

  216. but as a son, because I see it happened in

  217. my house. That's when natural because we remember remember, right, Uh,

  218. we like to remember the bad stuff, like you know,

  219. the bad things about people and so. But God is

  220. so merciful, Amen, so merciful. He does not remember our sins,

  221. and he as far as he eases from the West,

  222. he has removed our transgressions from us. Wow, so amazing.

  223. God is good. Amen, someone down in mind you God

  224. has part of your past. Don't let the guilt or

  225. the shame hold you back. Amen. Second is the peace

  226. for the present Romans five, ver was one to two

  227. Romans five one to two. Therefore, having been justified by faith,

  228. we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

  229. to whom also we have access by faith into disgrace

  230. in which we stand and rejoice in home of the

  231. glory of God. We have peace with God, the Bible

  232. says a man. So if you're still struggling in your past,

  233. I'll let you know. You and I we have peace

  234. with God today, present, present times. Today you have peace

  235. with God. Not because of what we've done, not because

  236. of you know whatever we can do. No, only because

  237. of Jesus Christ, who paid the price for us. And

  238. how do we have peace for the present through faith

  239. and man through faith? Collosians one, verse nineteen to twenty says,

  240. for if please the Father, there in him all the

  241. fullness should dwell and by him to reconcile all things

  242. to himself, by him, whether things on earth or things

  243. in heaven, having made peace through the blood of his cross.

  244. Aren't you glad that you and I have peace with

  245. God for the present? Amen? So whatever the struggle you're

  246. going to, don't worry. Trust in the Lord. Know that

  247. he has the best. It's thought for us. Jeremiah twenty

  248. nine eleven talks about that he has a future and

  249. a hope for you and I. Amen. So we have peace.

  250. That's what salvation is. We have peace for the present.

  251. And the third one of these, we have a promise

  252. for the future, and that is freedom. Promise for the future.

  253. The Holy Spirit, who has been given to you and I,

  254. is the seal and the guarantee for our salvation. Second Convenience,

  255. Chapter one, verse twenty to twenty two. Second Convenience one,

  256. verse twenty to twenty two says, for all the promises

  257. of God in Him are yes, and in him Amen

  258. to the glory of God through us. Now he who

  259. establishes us with you in Christ, and has anointed us

  260. in God, who also has sealed us and given us

  261. the Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee. Amen. Praise

  262. be to God. We have a guarantee. Come on, as

  263. believers of the Lord. We need to have this confidence

  264. that you can stand and say, I have a sure

  265. promise the promises of God, Yes, and Amen. And the

  266. Holy Spirit is my guarantee that I have salvation in

  267. Christ Jesus a man, even as you have believed. And

  268. all we need to do is this, believe in our

  269. heart and confess with your mouth. How simple that is

  270. to receive this free gif Believe in your heart, confess

  271. with your mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord, and we

  272. have a promise for the future. Phesians four thirty says,

  273. do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God by whom

  274. you were sealed for the day of redemption. So this

  275. is one thing that I pray quite frequently, because the

  276. Holy Spirit is actually the closest to us are by proximity,

  277. if you think about it, here right now, in our

  278. hearts right and oftentimes we go on without living and

  279. do the things that you want to do, and sometimes

  280. we displease God. The Holy Spirit is actually being grieved

  281. in our hearts, and so I praise it very often. Lord,

  282. forgive me, Holy Spirit, forgive me, forgive me when I

  283. have grieved you and have not heard your voice, or

  284. even if I hear it, I don't obey it. Because

  285. the Bible says the Holy Spirit is the one who

  286. who seals us for the day of redemption. Amen. So

  287. you and I have ever promised, say good Amen, hallelujah.

  288. The next one is Jesus is sufficient for our scientification.

  289. So let me say it again. Jesus is supreme for

  290. our salvation. The reason why we have salvation is because

  291. Jesus is supreme. He is God, and supreme just means

  292. his highest ranking. Right. He is the greatest of the greatest,

  293. no other greater than him. And because he is God,

  294. he has a power to forgive sins Amen. So Jesus

  295. is supreme. Because he's supreme, we have salvation. The second

  296. thing is this use this is suffision for our scientification.

  297. So have you ever had this situation?

  298. Right?

  299. By? How many of you stay in like in like

  300. dorms in campus dorms? Okay, you have this thing called

  301. a common shed area, the kitchen, you have a FIDG, right, uh,

  302. you know? Or maybe you stay with the house, your

  303. with your with your friends. Right. And have you had

  304. this experience whereby uh, maybe you buy your favorite drink.

  305. It could be a coconut, It could be a I

  306. don't know, a milo. It could be some coffee all

  307. the way from I don't know which country it came

  308. from us or whatever. It is, and you put in

  309. the fridge right uh and you and you put it

  310. there because you wanted it to be cold for one

  311. day and the next day you came back and it's

  312. not there. Have you ever been there? So? What what

  313. do you do when you come in then? Situation given? Okay? Okay,

  314. so that the next time you buy the same drink

  315. and you put it there, What what you do exactly? Why?

  316. You will take a big note and say, do not

  317. touch put it there all some words would write my

  318. name and a lioness one sticker, big sticker, big, big sticker,

  319. lioness or this belongs to liness. Whatever you just do,

  320. you have just sentified the drink, declared it's yours. So

  321. Jesus Christ, when he gave his life on the cross

  322. to die for our sins, he has put the chop

  323. on us. Jesus has scentified us. And because of that

  324. we have been set free and man, so when we

  325. believe we received that salvation. Jesus was sufficient because he is,

  326. and he was because he was blameless, spotless and without saying.

  327. When he walked the face of the earth, he was blameless, spotless,

  328. and he and and without sin on earth, not a

  329. single scene. And so in the Old Testament, in Leveticus

  330. chapter sixteen, right in the day of Atonement. Right, you

  331. can go to really Leveticus sixteen. I won't go to

  332. the whole thing. It's very long. But this is how

  333. they they they asked forgiveness. Evan the High Peace will

  334. go into the tabernacer, right, and he will take two goats. Okay,

  335. he may be familiar with this story, and he will

  336. cast lots, right, and one of the goat will be

  337. released into the wilderness as a scapegoat, and the second

  338. goat will be sacrificed. Right. And so Aaron will do

  339. that first for himself, to centify him, to cleanse him.

  340. And then he will sprinkle the blood on the tabernacle,

  341. on the mercy sy in all this right, to santify

  342. the Tabernacer. And then after that he will take another

  343. two more goats, okay, and do the same thing, but

  344. this time for the people of Israel. Okay, again, he

  345. will cast the lots. One will be he will cast

  346. the lots, and then he will lay both his hands

  347. on the goat's head, and he will start to confess

  348. the sins of the people on the goat okay, and

  349. then after that is being released as a scapegoat. So

  350. let me read it to you, leve taker sixteen, verse twenty.

  351. And when he has made an end of a throning this,

  352. he is Evana for the holy place, the tabernacle of

  353. meeting and the author. He shall bring the Life God avon.

  354. He shall lay both his hands on the head of

  355. the Life God. Confess it, Confess over it all the iniquities.

  356. List these iniquities of the children, issue all their transgressions,

  357. concerning all their scenes. Wow tree diven words all the iniquities,

  358. all their transgressions, and all their scenes. That's a lot

  359. of emphasis. Are three different words, putting them on ahead

  360. of the goat. And he shall send it away into

  361. the wilderness by the hand of a suitableman. The goad

  362. shall bear on yourself all the intuquities to an in sorry,

  363. to an uninhabited land, and he shall release the God

  364. in the wilderness waned. You know, even though every single

  365. year they had to do this every single year, why

  366. because it still was not sufficient. Every single year they

  367. had to do it. Evan and the high piece had

  368. to do this every single year. And even though the

  369. sin had been removed. Right, the escape good is like

  370. she's still lingering somewhere in the wildness. Right, He's still

  371. lingering somewhere. And the sacrifice was insufficient. And that's why

  372. you had to be carried out every single year. But

  373. do you have many even know that when Jesus Christ came,

  374. he paid the price once and for all, once and

  375. for all. We never need to sacrifice another animal or

  376. god ever again.

  377. Right.

  378. The only sacrifice, the best sacrifice that we can give

  379. to him, is the sacrifice of our hearts a man.

  380. Because Jesus Christ has done it, he is sufficient for

  381. our centification. He is the perfect lamb of God that

  382. was slain John one twenty nine. This is John the Baptist,

  383. John the Baptist. The next day, John saw Jesus coming

  384. toward him and said, behold the lamb of God who

  385. takes away the sin of the world. Amen. This is

  386. what Jesus did for us next life. The cross took

  387. his breath away. His death took your sins away. This

  388. is what Jesus Christ did for you and me. The

  389. cross took his breath away, his death took your sins away.

  390. Now I want to clarify his statement. I don't don't

  391. get me wrong. The Cross didn't take the life of

  392. Jesus away, because the Bible says that Christ gave up

  393. his life. No one or nothing can take the life

  394. of Jesus from him because he's God. Right, it's impossible

  395. Christ gave his life up. Okay, So don' don't get

  396. me wrong with this statement. Just take care as it is.

  397. The cross took his breath away, his death took your

  398. sins away, Amen, grazalon. Jesus is the God, is the

  399. greatest of all time. Number one, because he is God,

  400. he himself is God. Number two. All stands for obedience.

  401. Jesus had perfect obedience to the other than none of

  402. us can ever dispute obedience that brought him all the

  403. way to the cross though he was gone. He did

  404. not do his own will, but he did the will

  405. or the Father, perfect obedience even till death. Let's all

  406. turn to Philippines, chapter two, verse five. Philippians chapter two,

  407. verse five, Are you right? Okay? Philips chapter two, verse

  408. five to eleven says, let this mind be in you,

  409. which was also in Christ. Jesus, who being in the

  410. form of God, did not consider robbery to be equal

  411. with God, but made himself of no reputation, taking the

  412. form of a bond servant, and coming in the likeness

  413. of men, and being found in appearance as a man.

  414. He humbled himself and became obedient to the point of death,

  415. even death of the cross. Two times say as a emphasism. Therefore,

  416. God or Sos has highly exhorted him and given him

  417. the name which is above every name. That at the

  418. name of Jesus, every knee should bow, of those in heaven,

  419. and of those on earth, and of those under the earth,

  420. and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is

  421. Lord to the glory of God, the Father a man.

  422. He was obedient even till the death on the cross,

  423. and he finished the work on the cross. And so

  424. you and I we can see the obedience of Jesus

  425. as an example. He is the greatest of them all right.

  426. And you know when again back to the story of

  427. the disciples, when disciples asked Jesus school is the greatest,

  428. Jesus had a very different definition of greatness. Right. He talks.

  429. He talks about those of you who want to be

  430. the greatest, let him be a servant. And he says,

  431. just as a son of man, did not come to

  432. be serf, but to serve and to give his life

  433. as a n some for many. So past again this code.

  434. He says, when men reached for a title, Jesus reached

  435. for a tower. When men reached for a title, Jesus

  436. reached for a tower. Jesus took on a posture of servanthood.

  437. I hope you got what the tower means. Right. He'd

  438. girded himself. He knelt down to wash the disciples feet.

  439. So he was serving the disciples, you know. And in fact,

  440. he says, no one who is greater the one who

  441. sits on the table or the one who serves. Obviously

  442. the one who sits on the table.

  443. Right.

  444. But Jesus says, even I. Jesus says, even I. I

  445. came to serve, not to be serf. So Jesus took

  446. on a posture of a servanthood. He didn't come to

  447. be served, but to serve. Think about it, if Jesus

  448. came just to be selved, he would probably be an

  449. earthly king, because the time in the time, and he's there.

  450. They're waiting for a king to save them by an

  451. earthly king. Right, and if He just came to be served.

  452. He will probably be in an earthly king, but instead

  453. he came as a servant king. How amazing. Jesus is

  454. a man. He is the good, the greatest of all times.

  455. So all stands for obedience. Let me move on. A

  456. A stands for all. Because Jesus is God, he is

  457. all powerful, he is all knowing, and he is all present.

  458. The three words for that is omnipotence, omniscience, and omnipresence.

  459. Very big words. Okay. Omni is all okay, So what

  460. does that mean for us today? Because Jesus is God,

  461. he is all powerful, all powerful is as simple as this.

  462. God is in full control of himself, not only of himself,

  463. but also of his creation. He's in full control. Bible

  464. says he does anything that he pieces right, and whatever

  465. he pissues, he does it. It happens. You know. God

  466. can create something out of nothing, you know. And the

  467. earth was created just by his voice, just by by

  468. by his breath, you know. And God can create something

  469. or nothing. He's all powerful. Nothing should be impossible, Nothing

  470. is impossible for him, you know that sort of Bible says,

  471. all things are possible. We've God. He's all powerful. Second

  472. thing is he's all knowing. I told you earlier that

  473. you know even though it's all knowing, he does not

  474. remember our scenes. That's how amazing God is. That's how

  475. amazing he is. So first John three twenty says, for

  476. if our heart condemned us, God is greater than our

  477. heart and knows all things. Amen. So when Jesus walked

  478. on the earth, right, you will read many, many, many times,

  479. countless times where people had bad intentions or bad thoughts

  480. about Jesus, and Jesus would already know in advance before

  481. you know, right. So he's all knowing. He knew, he

  482. knows what's in is in their hearts, he knows what's

  483. in their minds, he knows before it even happens. So

  484. Jesus is God. He is all knowing. Toot one is

  485. because Jesus God, he is also all present. Now, when

  486. Jesus walked the face of the earth, he took on

  487. the he took on flesh. Right, So I understand when

  488. he was on earth he was limited by his physical presence.

  489. He was only at one place at the time, right,

  490. But you and I would know that now he's back

  491. in heaven with a Father seated at the right hand.

  492. Because of that, Jesus is all present. In fact, he

  493. is here with us today right now. It don't seem physically,

  494. but he's here his presence, he's here with us. I man,

  495. he is all present. And then it's what we celebrate

  496. in Christmas right. One of the words we like you

  497. use in Christmas is in man or you know what

  498. I mean, in manor amen in mano means God with us.

  499. We celebrate their doing Christmas right when Jesus comes down

  500. as a baby and in the form of a flesh,

  501. in the form of a human, of a man. And

  502. that's why we say a man or God with us. Friends.

  503. God is never too far from us. A man. He

  504. knows all our needs. He's present with us. And because

  505. he knows all our needs and it's all powerful, he's

  506. able to supply every need that you and I have.

  507. A man, hallelujah, let me give you four more other goats,

  508. g O a t He is a God over all trouble,

  509. God over all temptations, God over all things, God over

  510. all times, all, not some, not many, not half, but all.

  511. So I want to say to you, someone will here,

  512. maybe having some stuggle some trouble in our life, some tribulation.

  513. Did you know the Bible? What he tells us that

  514. we'll go to it, it's already been forth sight. It's

  515. not saying that because if recently I sat down one

  516. of my colleagues, one of my colleague actually uh, together

  517. me and my boss. My boss is a Christian, uh,

  518. and we began to share about about about Jesus, about

  519. end times with his brother, and very interestingly, right, he

  520. told us that you know the reason why he doesn't believe,

  521. it is because every time you want to believe, right,

  522. something terrible will happened in his life. Every time he

  523. read Bible right, the next day, something something bad happens

  524. to him. There He's like, can, cannot, cannot, So we

  525. cont encourage him. The reason why something bad is happening

  526. is because the devil knows. He knows that's something great,

  527. something amazing is what happened. That's why the enemy is attacking. Right,

  528. But how do me ever know that God is over

  529. all chrouble, over all chubble. So it's very very cute

  530. this this guy right here, he had a simple testimony

  531. not believe, right, very close to believing, not believe yet

  532. and we had this project. He was doing the project.

  533. Long story shot, he was he needed to move some

  534. some material. Uh and and and our lobby is supposed

  535. to the driver was supposed to come and deliver the

  536. matival right, but the midnight chop m this Lord overslept. Okay,

  537. chop emma overslapped. And so he's like, after that, he

  538. wanted to go and he isn't shopping mall. He wanted

  539. to get those pushing carts just flies to move some material.

  540. And he searched the whole mall, right, he couldn't find

  541. a single cart. He's like, how impossible is it to

  542. find all in a in the mall? Every other time

  543. can find but that time the night the day before

  544. we shared with him about Jesus. The next day he

  545. had this problem. So he was sharing me, well, every

  546. time I want to I want to start to believe, right,

  547. I seem to have some challenges. And then he shared

  548. with another guy who's of another faith, and the guy said, yeah, yeah,

  549. it's because you need to increase your favor, that's why.

  550. And so then he thought about it. True, then he said, Lord,

  551. if you are real, if you want me to know,

  552. you reveal yourself to me. In half an hour. The

  553. lawyer I woke up and call him, Hey, I'm coming

  554. on the way. Shop me and I the night. So

  555. he said that, He said that the testimony of me.

  556. When you really have to know, no, I say said,

  557. I told you better believe because God is speaking to you.

  558. God over all trouble. Some of us here may have

  559. struggle tribulations in our life. Friends, look unto Jesus because

  560. he is a God over all trouble. Say good Amen.

  561. John sixteen thirty three says, I have told you these

  562. things always. I have told you. I have told you

  563. these things so that in me you may have peace.

  564. Remember what I said, peace for the present. Salvation is

  565. peace for the present. In this world you will have trouble.

  566. But take heart I have overcome the world, and so

  567. I hang on to this promise every single time go

  568. to a struggle a trouble, I said, Lord, these two

  569. were passed because you are the God of world all trouble,

  570. and you are fully in control. Remember all powerful means

  571. he's fully in control. Nothing can stand against him. All

  572. things are possible with him. Amen. Second one is God

  573. over all temptation. Are you in a place of addiction.

  574. Are you in a place of temptation? Are you in

  575. a place that you're trying to break a bad habit? Friends,

  576. Jesus is the answer, because he is a god over

  577. all temptation. Why do I say that, because if you

  578. read the scripture you will know that Jesus was tempted.

  579. In the Bible, you can readly. I think in the

  580. book of Matthew, when he was led into the wilderness,

  581. he fasted and prayed for forty days, and after that

  582. he was tempted by the devil by Satan. Right, what

  583. was the treet temptation? The first time was braid? Right,

  584. Satan said, if you turn this stone into bread, you

  585. know and you can eat. And Jesus said, managed to

  586. not leave from bread alone, but by every word it

  587. proceeds from the mouth of God. Right. The second thing,

  588. he took him off to the pinnacle of the temple,

  589. and he said, for yourself down, the Lord will catch you.

  590. You will let your foot be dashed on the rob

  591. What was that? That was testing his pride? Right? The

  592. third one, he brought him up to a higher mountain.

  593. The highest mountain showed him all the kingdoms of the world,

  594. and said bow and worship me, and I'll give this

  595. to you. Jesus says, shall serve the Lord and him

  596. on each other. You worship amen. So Jesus overcame that temptation.

  597. He was tempted in three ways, the loss of the flesh,

  598. the pride of life, and the loss of their eyes.

  599. All three Jesus was tampted, tempted. So if you think

  600. that Jesus cannot relate to you friends, I will let

  601. you know. Even Jesus was tempted. Can you imagine fasting

  602. and praying for forty days and after that tempted by food.

  603. Sometimes the first one day is over food. The ready

  604. time was you know enough day? Forty days are Yet

  605. Jesus was without sin. He overcame temptation. So why don't

  606. you look to him? Because he is a god over

  607. all temptation. Hebrews four fifteen says, for we do not

  608. have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses,

  609. but was in all points tempted as we are. What

  610. was the next word says, yet without sin. So Jesus Christ,

  611. our high priests, can sympathize with our weakness because he

  612. also was tempted in all points, not some, not many,

  613. but all points, tempted as we are. Yet he did

  614. not sin. So if any of us are today have

  615. a temptation, have an addiction that we're trying to break.

  616. Maybe it's smoking, maybe it's pornography, Maybe it's gambling, Maybe

  617. it's drinking or getting drunk. I don't know, whatever it is,

  618. maybe it's maybe finances, is a God. Whatever temptation that

  619. we have, whatever struggle we're going to friends, Jesus is

  620. God over all temptation, look unto him, imen and I

  621. pray you receive it by faith had because he has

  622. the power to release you, the power to break every

  623. chain that holds you back. No weapon form against you

  624. were prosper Amen, hallelujah. The next one is God over

  625. all things, God over all Things Colloss Verse a, Coloss

  626. Chapter one, verse fifteen to seventeen are very earlier, says

  627. he is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn

  628. over all creation. For by him all things were created

  629. that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible

  630. and invisible, whether prones or dominions, or principalities or powers,

  631. all things were created through him and for him, and

  632. He is before all things, and in Him all things consisted.

  633. Chame series. I don't need the same thing for the

  634. worse says it. All all things, all things are created

  635. to Him and for him, and He is before all things,

  636. and in him all things consist. So anything else that

  637. you're going to, through your ups and your downs, through

  638. your valleys and your mountains, to the good times and

  639. the bad times, through the times of testing, to the

  640. times of testimony. God can turn every test into a testimony. Amen,

  641. through your ups and downs. Remember this God is over

  642. all things. I still remember the team that we have

  643. for extra Was it last year or the year before?

  644. Heaven rules? Was it last year? Last year? Heaven rules. Remember,

  645. even though we have a team that last year doesn't

  646. mean we left it behind last year and then or

  647. Heaven rules last year and this year is not no right.

  648. Heaven rules and he will continue the rule forevermore. Amen,

  649. And they remind them, mus always be in our hearts. Amen,

  650. Heaven rules. God is in control over everything. Amen. The

  651. fourth things is God over all times. And that leads

  652. me to my last point, the T T, which stands

  653. for time. Jesus who is gone even fun sends time.

  654. Let me show you what he claimed to be Revelations

  655. chapter twenty two, verse twelve. Let's all turn twin Revelations

  656. twenty two, verse twelve. If you then say yeah, awesome, okay,

  657. relationship twenty two words, Chelf says, and behold, I'm coming quickly,

  658. and my reward is with me to give to everyone

  659. according to his work is Jesus. Okay, I'm the Alpha

  660. and the omega, the beginning and the end, the first

  661. and the last. Did you know that statement is very

  662. very powerful, the beginning and the end. So alpha and

  663. the Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and

  664. the last. Any always said there to claim that not

  665. even close enough, not even close. In fact, the Bible

  666. actually says that Jesus was the perfect line of God

  667. slain before the foundations of the world. You know what

  668. that tells us. That tells us that salvation from Jesus

  669. Christ on the with his death on the cross. So

  670. it was not plan B. He was plenty a all along.

  671. God already knew that mankind will fall, He had already

  672. prepared the perfect sacrifice even before the foundations of the world.

  673. Jesus was there. He is the God over all times.

  674. There is a very big criminal beginning and the end,

  675. Alpha and omega, and she's an al fai omga. First,

  676. I'm the Alpha and the omega, the beginning and the end,

  677. the first and the last. Even Jesus transcends time. So

  678. I gave you four points why he is the God.

  679. Not going to write. The worship team will come up

  680. when I said close, Amen, Jesus is the God. Amen,

  681. the greatest of all time, the King of kings, the

  682. Lord of lords, the greatest of the greatest. There is

  683. none that compares to him, and that is why God

  684. gave him the name of Jesus, the name which is

  685. above every other name that add the name of Jesus.

  686. Every need about, every time will confess he is Lord.

  687. He is the greatest of all time, because he is God,

  688. he had perfect obedience. He's the God of all and

  689. he even finds scends time. Hallelujah. Do you believe that? Amen?
