A call for mission | Pr Janaronson Nagarajah

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

We hope this message will light up your day.

And last week I wasn't around because I was out traveling.

Something. She will put a single or two caller.

I didn't back slider or mayo or mao. Uh. And

I thought, in the context of this man being missions

emphasis man to share some of the highlights that I

had in my trip to re Lanka.

So you know this sounds change out the uf MA,

So this sounds sun function.

So it was a trip that I went with my

colleagues in a work support group.

No, so the console, the tonsum is.

She and I brought back some items that we can

share later after worship service, cookies and all the time.

Mentioned fun.

So I went to Sri Lanka last We arrived last Thursday,

very early in the morning, about one a m plus.

So so tabos sound listen.

It felt like a homecoming because my paternal grandparents, my

dad's side, they were all from Sri Lanka.

No, No, yeah, you order to the the neggar.

So you so I arrived at I look around, I'm home. No,

never really had the opportunity to visit Sri Lanka before

one finally had the opportunity to just walk around the land,

to see the culture there, to taste the food there

and to get to know the people. There.

Also some pictures our pen.

So first day we went up to this place, we

climb up the Peodo Alla Rock.

You pass.

Rock.

I have to wear the Malaysian jesse in order to

distinguish myself being a Malaysian and a local streetlank.

Something I said you for cons younger.

Uh, so we we climb. Okay, I need you to

take notice of the bigger rock behind that.

Top.

That's take not of that. So the first climb we

went up to Peru ra Gala Rock, and I might

say that it was very very challenging. Okay, face so

it's like this huge giant rock start in the hill

there and everyone is supposed to go up and you know,

look at the scenery.

Take picture so your face. She does something that you

can't put.

On the thing.

Somehow on that day, Uh, you have a lot of

tories like that's right now.

And we were there for some time and about seven

something evening we were still there because from tree line

it became one line. So everyone was lining up like

an ant and you only have a trill down.

Johanna downshod python hunang sun hung piler bins.

And I hun praise God for preservation of my life

because when I was ascending down, my shoes grip couldn't

really grip the rock. Well, so.

Say she does all over the seas to put tired

and go like she. You learn how the Nuer moasting.

Like all good people do. I need to humble myself

and ask for help.

Now to you you gotta she in the banz.

But I didn't have the confidence from one rock if

I were to slide down and griep on the other

rock next week is the reviineryraviiner readly so and they

don't have that string for you to to hold on.

To hold on the rugle.

So praise Scott for good touries. I called out for help.

They were willing to help me to land a hand

to make sure that I land properly and not land south.

So you can see.

So it was quite done, you know. H lights were

all by mobile phone ready sorry and one ye and

yellow male male male yes, yeah, so we all used

then one then so the next day next we have

to climb up there. This is called Uh, Sirigaya ancient

rock fortress.

Moment you like you pass and the suit hole uh

is a.

World Heritage site by Unesco Hant many many many thousand

years ago, a smart king decided to build his empire

right on top of there.

You want to tadawan had Uh.

This particular palace or temple was built roughly around three

thousand BC BC basically means three thousand years before Christ.

I think the going sun chan which.

About opinion only. I haven't researched this. In my opinion,

I think it could be similar time with Noah's time.

What is the san far just a clonel just know,

yeah younger?

So the time so David is one thousand years before

Jesus brand I think it was about two thousand years

before Jesus. I think no one should be about three thousand.

Sound that was in cha a whole uh like.

And chin three three okay next night. So it's like

an open garden area. You walk past a lot of

ruin of the pallace and temple.

Chance and I said, put on the horsehouse.

About everywhere we go there's like a school excursion. So

you see all the kids in school uniform looking excited.

They wanted to climb together.

This is a summer face house.

Next night, so when I climb up, this is actually

a photos zoom. So we were there yesterday. Look at

the giant rock there. So we were there yesterday.

So changing just as I orting som you pass and

just juice woman or cut down. Just women that pass.

So to give you a perspective, that is how the distance.

Is, like, cme down, young woman pass.

We actually paid USD thirty five to climb up this

silka rock. It's like a tourist fee. You have to

pay USD thirty five just to climb up the mobile pass.

And it's not a Roman by Magrant your full sand

su may.

So most of the part you have rock staircase go

up some part because it is like a giant rock itself.

They built actually staircases for you. So everyone was just

lining up to go up.

So you know you see the defounder soon, SI you're

any pass, soon you cnt down, so mar to.

Your some ship right next. So as you climb up

at the top, you will see all these ruins of

the former temple palace and whatnot.

Son Pass.

And that's just so people there were just explaining to

us what the king did back then.

That's so hold your fund.

Sound the entire area to become like a fortress. You

have crocodiles in the in the small rivers so that

no one passed. You build so high up so that

no one can come near you. We passed by a

particular I can't show you a picture. We can't take

picture as well, a particular cave like inside there's a

lot of pain things, and you have a lot of

half dressed women, so they're basically naked from top.

So in the town, so holda I said, I said,

you don't see still put on.

The guy was saying that every time the king baye

five hundred ladies in that kind of attire, we'll dance

around the king.

And also just chance and I tell you.

So we're trying to understand the culture back then, how

did the king behave and whatnot? And from there I

don't have pictures, but we went into another hill where

at least three kings built cave temples inside.

Sinan or so just.

The town all make the same bow. They all say

that God, if you were to give me victory, I

will come in and build a temple for you.

Certainly do.

Understand the culture that from there, we moved a place

called candy. Candy is like your cameraon highlands.

But it's bigger, like a defand your candy.

It's like literally c on the heel.

Just turn down.

There we witnessed the they have what we call the

candy esala para hairra parades where it's a showcase of

culture religion. Now, elephant is like an animal icon line.

In Africa, you got your Big five. In Sri Lanka

you have the elephant. So they dressed the elephant to parade.

There's like a hundred elephants being paraded. They were danced,

there were drums, there were different things going on.

Hamas and I said, you see.

On you.

Using that down.

So so we went to this uh also a tourist side,

the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relief, so you know Thoma.

It was the festival. People were also doing their rituals.

I was just there. I didn't participate, of course us

for reasons that we need worship God, but I just

observe and see how they do their rituals, how they

participate in religious activity. That's the temple actually houses.

Uh.

They say that the tooth of Buddha himself.

Ya nigga.

Yacht. Right, So people were there, the tooth reely was

kept there and they have their time to open up

clothes and different things like that. Right. I must say

that all the statues there are pure goal. They have

a lot of expensive stones in there, so much so

in the cave temple actually go in and steal all

the gems to a point where they have to install

c C TV inside the cave. So that the.

Like she saw Amazon, actually don't that Downsong like she

trip our Miran.

They take that religion very seriously. When you enter the temple,

you don't see them taking their handful out and start

you know, instagramming, start messaging each other. They participated in

the religious activity very revering towards the object of their worship.

That downs can.

Town not if sing sea.

So I reflect that, of course it's to learn and reflect,

and I reflect back on the modern contemporary church just today.

So do I find to do something? So it's thing that.

Would we approach God with more reverence without any distraction

of digital devices.

So for her, she talnced. You don't tell us like

she's changing a mute like cow, I say, so it's timeping, And.

Of course I reflected that as Christians, our body is

the temple of the Holy Spirit. We can worship wherever

we want to, wherever we are. We don't have to

specifically go to an assigned temple to do our ritual

and religious duty moments.

Is also women, the woman is sentagious, woman selling the

heucating by thirteen, the defense and going pision and a lot.

And Savior Jesus, he didn't leave his tooth behind for

us to have an evidence that he was there, that

dred percent, he was resurrected, and he was ascended back

to heaven.

Watching food whole.

So I'm going to reflect. And God also put in

into my heart just a compassion towards people who have

yet to know Him but yet trying to seek for

him in rituals and different expects, hoping to find him.

Not you find cantata and talmon that because the time

and you.

So. By going to places like this, it helps me

to appreciate the Gospel more and it gives a better

sense of urgency on why we should continue to share

the gospel the good news to people from other faith.

So founds on around I out of the housing A

helpful in next like, oh we.

Stopped by the roadstall to have durian. They actually have

durian on your right there mango stain. Just to show

you that in terms of climate and tropical fruits, it's

similar rabutan, so God, banana or so God.

Uh.

Anything Malaysia has they have as well.

Right, I can common thing that little pumping put on

sea holders.

So you go, actually it's not graffiti. I put that graffiti,

but actually it's not graffiti. It is like a street art.

I wanted to show to the church a powerful illustration.

I was in the wend right passing by, and then

I saw this, like wow, I must take this picture.

Look at the Facebook What's App icon riding on a

perflo there with with a string and what do you

call that? Uh whip?

Yes, that's what you look cannot take the toyata so

sound cannot be.

It's a good representation of how modern society are and

slave to their own phones.

Sending a SUITI and just pay woman, this is gelm.

He actually get compound.

How we must, you know, be connected to social media,

be connected to what's app? So I look at this right,

and I reflect back on people's participation in the temple.

And when I begin to reflect back, even when I

had opportunity to speak in different engagement in churches and all,

it's like, how come when it comes to church people

use their phone and s during time during worship, during

even a time of sharing of God's wid So hold.

On, would you guys sound so who is the case

of fancying? Who is so fast? So haminous? Sile you?

I think parasol.

You need to do so we come back to a

place where we revere the expect of worshiping God more.

You know, she's think pasion.

So on Sunday, I didn't go to church. I have

to confess I didn't go to church, just think she.

I know, I know because the people that I am

with they are not many of them are not Christian

as well. What we did was we went to a

home called Daya Niwasa which is a home for differently

able children, founded by mother Teresa herself.

So Di, so you like turl sun so.

Deep in the hides before like this. So it says

a home for the abandoned and differently.

Able children and girls coming journey that say E g

no sense.

I can't show you a lot of pictures because we're

not allowed to take a pictures. But behind his mil

I'm trying to move one of the so that when

can go inside. We actually brought in a lot of

essential items like one hundred cag of rice, tiny cagy

of different things that the the home have listed that

they need help with. So we all just get our

own fine, go to a nearby shopping center by and

on the Sunday we decided to just go and visit.

Of course this was pre arranged, so.

Then that's hold on like she Tyler is Tamasau, she

other and I say the opin and she to eat eating.

If you don't know Madatreesa, she's a wonderful lady. I

think she's an icon of what demonstration of God's love

actually looks like. She left her own country in Europe Albania,

went to the hardcore poor in the streets of India,

founded these homes and she became an icon to the world,

is like an icon of charity. But to us who

believe in Christ, she's an icon that represents what Christianity

is all about.

You know, Ruger s Hi surround because journey moment two

thousand happening.

She passed away in nineteen ninety seven, and one of

her famous quote is, God has not called me to

be successful, but to be faithful to eating.

Tappy meal. Because sing suter.

The next light really is the crucs of today's message.

If in case you're wondering, I don't you know, open

the Bible and read the word of God. Really, I

don't hear a lot about your trip. I must say

that this message was prepared by God in my trip,

because when I was walking around the homes, they had

a lot quotes by Mother treesa right, and they list

down all the homes that she and her team had started.

And then when we came to here, it's just say

Jesus said to Mother Teresa, come carry me into the

holes of the poor. Come be my light. I cannot

go alone go amongst them. Carry me with you into them.

Should you do it like mother? Like die would? I

got a pinch on her and down down, and she

told me would open and eatcause a downtong. She bowled.

That's only mean.

If you know her life, or you hear about her life,

you will know that it takes a person with a

strong conviction, strong calling to be able to.

Do what she did, is really going to enjoyed out

so happy she your ighun like she her inserns.

She has a strong relationship with Jesus, so.

Change.

So I came back with just this one question.

So who sold you?

How do we bring the gospel to a world of

multi cultural beliefs and share John three sixteen and John

fourteen six So.

May I rue her pa again? I said, thing you

like she finish, you have for insight, you have for insistently.

If you're a Christian here today, you gotta know the

two scriptures by heart.

Pio take the thing when memorize it. John three sixteen,

Bagi like just that you have for in Santo.

For God so loved the world that he gave his

only begonden Son, that whoever believed in him shall not

perish but have ever lasting life.

Is an.

It is for sharantation.

John for six you have for insist Jesus says he

is the Way, the Truth, and the life. No one

can come to the Father except.

True me, Yesna Mirran or Mirran and go.

So it is our responsibility. It is a responsibility for

all Christians to fulfill Jesus' last commandment.

So maker you to the turn like she England, Yes,

ming link as we leave.

We don't live for ourselves alone. We should live our

life with a purpose.

She and thousand.

And the purpose is to make his life known.

Either just how wrong, Yes to the iron and true.

You don't need to be like a mother traser to

do it. Wherever God has planted you, whyever burden he

has given you on it.

Negative food, dances and don't dances some money just like

she's seeing true life.

So in the Book of Acts, chapter sixteen, you can

turn to your Bible.

She can't dissolute.

We have a situation where Paul, Silas and timoth t

were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to pass by Asia,

but instead they were directed to Macedonia. No, no.

Loose to the Taman shot out take the defunct.

But then the Gospel has been preached in different areas,

different churches has been established, and now the Holy Spirit

is directing them to somewhere new.

No, not how many did I put on a turn?

So that.

So certainly not like defunk.

Chapter sixteen opens with the account that it was the

first time Paul met Timothy no no no.

Timo title wait, and we all know Paul.

And Timothy had a spiritual father and sonship relationship.

Fourteen the Quansy.

In fact, the Book of First Timothy and two Timothy

were written by Paul to give the instruction to Timothy Timoti.

How soon as Paulo like she says in timor THI.

So in what six now when they had gone through

First and the region of Galacian, they were forbidden by

the Holy Spirit to preach the word in Asia tamar.

Full.

It basically means the time for Asia wasn't there. And

then so.

Hold being tamanous.

It doesn't mean God doesn't love Asia. Yeah, forgot so

loved the world, he loved every time, He loved every tribe,

he loved every Negro, he loved every people grow as.

I saw you put on put on.

So they were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to preach

the Word in Asia based into tam After they had

come to Maijia, they tried to go into Bethinia, but

the spirit it did not permit them. So passing by Majia,

they came down to Troes and a vision appeared to

Paul in the night. A man of Macedonia stood and

pleaded with him, saying, come over to Macedonia and help.

Us mean between it. She certainly learning sh set out

her lawyer Santo shoot like bounce woman.

Now after he had seen the vision. Immediately we sought

to go to Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called

us to preach the gospel to them.

Don't she eas not literantin.

Therefore, sailing from Troes, we ran a straight course to

Somemoat Race, and the next day came to Neapolis, and

from there to Philippine, which is the foremost city of

that part of Macedonia, a colony.

Kawana. A fairly bit found the juice low mad to function.

This was the beginning where the Gospel is taking a

turn to Europe, because Macedonia was also known as the

passage way, the gateway to Europe. And we were staying

in that city for some days, and on the seventh

day we went out of the city to the riverside

where prayer was customarily made, and we sat down and

spoke to the women who met there. Now a certain

woman named Lydia Hurtus. She was a seller of purple

from the city of Ta Tira, who worshiped God. The

Lord opened her heart to hit the things spoken by Paul,

and when she and her household were baptized, she begged us, saying,

if you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord,

come to my house and stay. So she persuaded us.

Roman Minchia Tuia Tina Tander, and so think person, so

Pancho woman somro I was turningto the july.

So you know here there was a vision given by

God to Paul. She obeyed, he went and the first

fruit someone got saved by the name of Lydia. Lydia

eventually became one of Paul's great supporters for his missionary work.

M Negative foun majority actually go back.

You can read all the way U eventually read the

Entree of Eggs. But in chapter sixteen itself you will

realize that Paul and Silas were also sent to prison

because they cast out the spirit of divination from a girl.

So in the time even so hold on tammon just

a bay, so that with Hammond she can't.

And the Master was so furious that the girl can

no longer do divination it affected his income. Therefore, reported

Paul and Silence to the local authorities. That's how they

were jailed. And you will also read that while they

were in jail, they were hunged, they sang songs right,

they worship to God and eventually God delivered them. The

prison doors were opened. And it was also during the

time where the jailer, the Philippine jailer, was saved.

So anyway, it's also the big one in with hamming ban.

She said tamanjura patamation she chill means true.

So the first point for today is a missions work

must be led by the Holy Spirit.

So change thing.

It must be led by the Holy Spirit.

Tailing.

You know, a vision from God can only come from

the Holy Spirit.

Is that is sound.

If you're a believer here today, you have the potential.

You have the capacity to receive a specific vision, to

receive a specific instruction from God through the Holy Spirit

to you. A Macedonian man appeared in a vision to Paul,

asking him to come to Macedonia and help them.

Since since she bounced.

In the Book of Joe chapter twenty eight, he says,

and it shall come to pass afterwards that I will

pour out my spirit on all flesh. Your sons and

your daughters shall prophesy. Your old man shall dream dreams,

your young men shall see.

Visions patio, so that she don't even Also, God speaks

true his word. God can also speak true vision dreams

to you. Specifica.

She can dreams that He gives you. The vision that

He gives you will never contradict his.

Word innocence that she waita.

I believe God often will give different burdens to different people.

What young singers sound things put on the leg, the

full time fountain migrant, the singing me.

Some of your God has given you the burden to

reach out to children, and no one can reach out

to children better than you. Young me and kids we

can be together, but not for too long.

Crazy because.

Some of you are called to reach to your own

people group like no.

So the two children the eventson, don't mess around with

the events.

Some of you you are called to a particular culture.

Currently out said.

Have you a called to the business world? You have?

Have you a called to the entertainment industry? You have

this ye Wherever you are called, know that God has

a destination for you. God has a specific community.

For your son. So maintain you need place that burden

in you, even it's what happened. I got the full

time founds. I need to sing any mean, you can.

Have ten people walking past a homeless person, nine people

not feeling anything, but you felt something for this homeless

person because God plays burden in Younglan.

You're going, I said Jack, you got because the way

He needs you needs you.

The news you can scroll down social media, you know

them people can read and oftenage Holmes news. Nine didn't

feel anything, but you feel it in you. God has

placed that burden in you.

You're not sugar, you know they said the single and

soon you're gorn't do log Wayoni to lok so your

face foot two years your bound with Hammond.

It's not by accident.

You have this burden in you, Young Fullness, she's eager

all rand.

You have ten people reading the same news about how

Orli were being oppressed, nine not feeling anything, but one

felt something. That is the burden that the Holy Spirit

has given to you.

You're sugar. And as you do, said pat, because you're

gonna do locause Wayoni you can do loc sometimes like.

Paul, you must act on the burden that God has

given to you.

Neggar full you and I you hoitinga food done.

Ten can read the same news about how refugees are

treated in this country, but one felt it that is

a burden that God has given to you to reach

out to the refugees.

So now your sugar, I'm going out. And that means

consoners you need to ignorant like she wansta one.

See, you know we are called to love everyone. Right

there is a particular group that you know deep in

your heart you have a special place for them.

You know it's as omen the hotel say I make

her and consuneras the food thunder.

The special place in my heart is for all fox people,

all Fox homes or city Mega. During COVID, God challenged

me to support them at least one year. I gave.

I supported them one years.

I U like, you can, don't worry. She just tammon

And I remember an engagement I had with oh folk,

no down you go down the way. He said, you

young people are very smart. I just told me, look

at your handful and all you're very smart. They don't

have to say told me.

I say, sir, please don't call me smart.

Talking me.

You have what we don't have.

Neo woman may don't see which is the wisdom of

life minutes the way.

You know, mater, I have a special place for all

the folks because at one point they contributed to the

growth of this nation. Whatever role there in they contributed

to the development of this.

Nation is way more. Even said the nil Louder and

Hammond hunting like she is goin.

I feel that when they age, they h with dignity

and not being spending the remaining years of their life

being abandoned.

So you fastens like she uh to either.

So that's my burden the food time. I love to

talk to people who are twice my age or maybe

three times.

You're gonna say niny, balance pace, and I love.

To have them do more of the talking than me

doing the talking.

You are having sunegger soken door hold, and so that's

when you learn from their life.

Even send me down, you learn from their wisdom. That's

the way A lot of old people need companies and

the other payper just by being there, even though you

don't have to say a lot, makes a lot of difference.

Sam Hampany push and in the paper.

Every region will carry a specific instruction for Paul is

to go to Macedonia. What about you? Where is God

asking you to go non which community, which people group?

God is asking you to go and be his light,

go and be a carrier of his life.

Nice like who down, he'll cheat.

Obedience is the key. Going equals obedience.

I'll cheat us or consumefulness.

The reason why I'm in education industry for this X

number of years sixteen over years, it's because God told

me to be here.

So I tell you saloony wis how who's ours? I

tell you the downtown and there's my missions field, not

just the change out.

The time you gonna ask God ways your missions.

In the strange out of town, so that only you

can do it best. It's only to your I can't

do it on your behalf. Your neighbor can't do it

on your behalf.

Literally, so.

We can try our best, clear, but we can never

be as good as you, because the grace of God

is upon you to reach out to this particular group.

Because so young something that hand and got around dren.

So every vision will carry a specific instruction, so we

make it. I got this from Botswana, so the lit

evio because one day God just told me ronson go

to Boswana and encarriage Lesris.

So you're eating down, so ronson, cheat.

Out, you go lead have a student here in Nila

Uni Lesris. He graduated to his diploma here, went to London,

pioneered next London. Then he was sent to Victoria to study.

Every Sunday or every weekend. He would drive from Victoria

to Harboroni, which is Boswana, four hours one ways.

Arreges hamasul woman turned into leader.

Honda.

How you cheat out London? She turns.

Far and I knew about it. The Lord say, you

don't have to do anything, just go Boswona, sitting in

his car and encourage him.

So un so push she turned fronto. I had a

turnament and.

For the life of me, I've never traveled that far.

You send me, you send to my meal like she

and oh bit God no, just soon full lesson.

Not many people know about my financial situation, but back

then I paid everything my flight, tickeid my accommodation. When

I was there. I also buy people that I knew meals.

Imagine you go to a country hoping that people bless you,

but I said, don't worry. Better, let me cover the wheel,

let mew, let me cow. So when I came back,

it took me close to four to five months just

to clear off my credit card.

So so hold on leaders so hold on two food

nay show, And I said, I say, what a hol

So hold on taboo suit. We'll go as you hunting car.

I do it intentionally because I knew I can pay

it off in the next five to six months. If

I budget well, I can pay it off. So that

was wisdom in me. I'm not asking you to take

a debt. You take a credit card, you fly, you

come back. You have no mechanism to pay off. Okay,

you must use wisdom. So I use wisdom. I paid

it off without incurring a lot of charges.

That's holda would you dancing things graduating? So okay, then

you need that you don't see your card.

And back then my earning was twenty seventeen, so my

earning was fifty percent less than what I'm earning today.

That means since then to today, I've earned doubled. Just

to share with you some situation financially, so.

So the early or the scene spot since pass certainly said.

So it is. I want to share. This is because

sometimes when God gives us the burden, we can have

tons of excuses why we shouldn't go, Why we shouldn't

do why he should send someone else?

And all this aways, you know, so that she wished

books appearance.

It's so easy for me to say, God, I don't

have money. Actually I have just that I don't want to.

Spend honna and so I to the mill. That's this

is what you think.

It's so easy to say, God, my boss won't approve

my live. Actually you have lived. All you need is

just to have courage to ask your boss to release you.

So the colony. So now she that is a neo,

even tea that sheicken near a lot?

God, the food that is different, the time zone is different.

I can't adjust to it, son't.

I will say this very cautiously that the more I

speak to people, the more excuses I hear these day is.

Okay, turns the WHI down? You gonna you're doing you

so fast?

And tell you ten reasons why they cannot do it?

Sugarly you sugar, and honestly.

This can be very good reasons.

Okay, calcu ju tammas, okay you.

But in all these ten reasons, where is the God factor?

Because Sally, where is the God factor? Certain negative in Sultanai.

So when people come up to me and say that

they can't do it, I'm always looking at where is

the God factor? Where is the application of faith? My

boss don't allow. But nevertheless I will fast, i will pray,

and I'll go and ask my boss again.

Just down run like you go on. She finish.

She tells, so.

Insusanai Italian, because he thinks.

Sound I can't shift my schedule because this that where

is the God factor? To trust God that if he

wields that you be there, he will make a.

Way, Susan, that will may rule her. That she's howling

into the thousand. She bounds a woman.

God will always make a way when we are willing

to obey.

With that woman you're telling the singers you soon photos

and told her that she can not tell lokay women.

We must obey God because your leaders can't force you

to do things that you don't want to do. It

and he put on and that is not we can't

do that. If you do that, then please scold me.

It cannot force me. I'll tell you what doesn't what

We're gonna live by conviction. Only the Holy Spirit can

give you the conviction. I can't give you the conviction

omen So obedience is the key to the fulfillment of

this vision.

So woman, she in you and take each and a quantin.

Don't let the burdens stay in you for too long.

Be around. God has placed you to sign up for

a mission. Treat sign up.

Go.

It's around it that she's trying to take a strange.

God have given you a specific assignment. Just go because

you don't end up like Jonah.

Even young are.

Preparing this message got revealed to me about Jonah.

I was that business.

Jonah was supposed to go to a place called Niwe.

Noya because I will preach that people will be repenting

of their scenes and turned to God. Actually don't like

an inuation. She passed actually trying to.

Say to himself these people are unworthy.

No, you're not.

And he decided instead of going to niway, he decided

to go the other way. No, do you know what

happened to Jonah?

You're not fastest man.

He bought it a ship, do you one? Shipwreck?

Malor is one true thunder.

Thunder and the people around saying, you know, Jonah, is

it because of you? We are suffering this?

So you're not.

Also knew that he disorbit God.

No, y'are not just that s.

So sometimes disobedience to the call of God can also

not just affect you, affect people around you.

Hold on pushing food. Some p's so incent.

And here we are wondering, how come we are not

as growing as people around us? How come we are

not as blessed as people around us? We gotta first

check whether there's a form of disobedience in our heart.

So no woman tarran and so hold on in sant

talmonus food the sink.

Second, we know that he was swallowed by a giant

fish and he was spitted.

Up the tunes.

Hold on, you get too, How many of you can

put on your imagination right now? I know it's lunchtime,

But imagine the smell in the fish, gut, the stomach.

Imagine the horror the sea smells. Some of you, you

can't sea smell, right, You go to the sea like

one thing because of the smell of the seed.

You need sounds Okay, that she's how wait it out?

Imagine that one parentis say is that when you straight

away from God's call, God will orchestraight situation in your

life to bring you back to the call. It doesn't

mean he doesn't love you. He loves you enough to

allow situation to mold your character, to humble you, knowing

that without him you can't fulfill that call.

So you tell your neggar, who kan she so singer?

How around woman?

So Jonah obeit? God preach the good news and the

entire way repented, So you know you like she.

Done? Guys sounding.

People like Paul, people like Jonah. In my opinion, they

started with nothing.

So sound, so just you're not having kai the soals.

I don't think they are the most famous, but something.

I don't think they're the most they are the most riches.

I don't think they have a lot of resources.

Wait sounding being meals so where.

All they had? What's God?

That's the time as Yoda juices.

That's all you need, not just the omens. So that

is all you need.

Are the more older I get, I'm quite young, but

quite old as well, the more I find myself to.

Have the tendency to negotiate with God more.

Oh, there's a whole no, Ninji, it doesn't sounds all

very faster. Who consumed.

It's the wrong spirit. So there you go. Tell God

you want me to do this, Can you also do

this so that it's easier to do it? How round?

So Jonah right? Two year now, So during nineteen I

went back to Boswana.

So you do early its you.

Is getting married. You're invited to my wedding. This is

the biggest rate bomb I ever received. Culture wise, when

the Chinese get married, they will give you a red

envelope with an invitation to their wedding. All right, this

culture wise? Right. The joke is because when you go

for a wedding, you have to give is like you

put money and you want to bless the couple. So

when people say you get the rad bomb means it's

like I have to give money again.

Just hi, okay, go home bo.

So his choice of venue was in a place called

Francis Town, which is five hours uh driving distance from

Hevroni the Holy chant Harbor.

You're actually ugar Cell's decision.

Say let because you're one of my sons, are you Gonip?

And I told him I was flying for a wedding.

Stay a few days, then a fly out Sunday.

I won't go to Exportswana, hold only holditing.

By because it's five houray distance. There's no connecting fly.

You know, it's a uger cells to the.

I felt like a jo You know why because the

flight that I'm supposed to fly up from Francistown on

that Sunday suddenly got rescheduled to Monday, so faster.

So you and I, yeah, you fro Franciscan face something.

And the only flight that flies out from Botswana to

joannes Burg, South Africa was out of Heberony on Sunday.

So that's face. Is hu TiO TiO harbor.

On your faith, I say God, I hear you loud

and clear. I would humble myself, take the five hours drive,

put my life in other people's hand, of course your

hand as well, and then travel to Botswana. Minister her in.

No way that she turn who like she It was a.

Very humbling experience.

Face and Champ.

Left the wedding dinner. We we ate for a while,

then we went and the morning. From morning until I

arrived South Africa, I didn't bathe at all at all,

meaning it would have been about six to eight hours.

So that's what happen. Tell you one tan you holy

go hold on ones and just have a without chicken.

You people in Boswana, when I told them, Oh, actually

book air Boswana.

No hoad would get the thing pasta pasta.

Why did you book air Boswana? We don't book air

Botswana because very unreliable.

Who is only as the things that got Hong Kong?

Haven't you didn't book a cow?

So after church I rushed to the airport. The flight

got delayed. They set us in the two propeller plane

without the airport.

No hold on, that's hold on you drink patages candle

you regulars, you know, defund.

Like a hot sound there, sweaty? I say, okay. In

the moment I touched down Johannesburg, I gotta find a

transit hotel, babe, before I taken eleven hours direct flight

from Johannesburg all the way to Singapore.

So negative, negative channel, We're gonna go around. How yourself

to the.

Sing touchdown Johnesburg, I went to the transit airport. Hold channels,

So hold what you transit hotel? I say, I would

like to check in for the boarding. Sorry, sir, you

can't come in now because the hour has closed.

Hold on, holdund.

Like sweaty. Eleven hours inside the plane, I just needed

to take a short bath waiting.

The negative, say, but could you.

Make exception for me because I really wanted to bathe?

No?

Hold, okay, torow ho or actually seekers.

Out, I say it, but it is also an income

for your hotel. If you take me in, I'm able

to pay. I'm not like asking for free. You're gonna okay, Fader,

I need to humber myself, I say, please, I just

came back from Botswana and this and that I really

need a place to bathe. And the lady begin to

look at me with compassion. Okay, okay, so to my

credit card, so might be don't tell anyone go when

take a quick shower. And I bought the fly and

I came back. So hold on?

Would you your tone either food channel?

Go?

Hold?

Would you lot of stories to tell you? Then? Then

then I learned about the power of persistence and the

power of asking. Paul likely hold, And I know these

days a lot of people feel entitled. They think that

just because they're being customer, they make demands. You know.

So it wasn't a food channel with the train lead.

But you must learn to IoT. Sharing extreme comes up.

I thought sharing with you this to let you know

that going from missions, it's very exciting you know something

from because you won't know what will happen.

Really, put on pars and someone's searching.

And you will have no choice but to call upon God.
