-
You're listening to a message to go from acts church.
-
We hope this message will light up your day.
-
This is the prayer that Jesus taught us how to pray.
-
All of you know it right.
-
If you would like to rehearse it, let's do it
-
now in this manner. Therefore, pray our Father in heaven,
-
hallow would be your name, your kingdom.
-
Come.
-
Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
-
Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us
-
our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And do not
-
lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one,
-
for yours is the kingdom and the power and the
-
glory forever.
-
Amen. Amen.
-
Now, Jesus, out of all the words he could use,
-
and now of all the prayers he could teach us,
-
he taught us one. And he, I believe specifically pick
-
these words, because he could pick a thousand words. And
-
this prayer is actually not long noise, and most of
-
us have memorized it already.
-
And he said, this is the way you should pray.
-
This is Jesus teaching you are not just Kenneth Chin
-
or any guru here on earth.
-
Is the Guru of gurus, the king of.
-
Kings, a lot of laws, and so you must take
-
special notice of a prayer that Jesus, the Son of
-
God himself taught us.
-
That means he must be using this prayer himself.
-
In fact, when he said our Father, I really believe
-
he's praying with us every day.
-
Otherwise he was.
-
You know, if Daniel was asked me to teach me
-
how to pray, I would say say this, Daniel, my
-
father in heaven right because he's asking me to teach him.
-
So I was saying, my father. But when I say
-
our I I'm telling you right now to include me
-
all the time. Jesus saying, when you pray, you are
-
including me. I'm praying this prayer with you because I
-
prayed it myself and I was on earth. Our Father,
-
who are in heaven, had he be your name?
-
So I love it.
-
No. Every time on my knees I'm praying our Father,
-
who are in heaven. When I'm praying that, I can
-
hear Jesus repeating it up with me, and we are
-
praying it together, our Father in heaven. Hello, it be
-
your name, your kingdom, Come, Your will be done. So
-
I want to emphasize on this particular line, your kingdom come,
-
Your will be.
-
Done on earth as it is in heaven.
-
Now, when you read these words, you can also get
-
a sense of what God's will is. He came all
-
the way to teach you this prayer right and to say,
-
this is really the will of God.
-
This is really what I want at the end of
-
the day.
-
I want my kingdom to come, my will to be
-
done on what earth as it is in heaven.
-
Now.
-
I preach this in past Clarian to Church last Sunday
-
because their theme is Heaven on Earth, and they want
-
to let their people know that. Don't be so desperate
-
to get back to heaven, lofe, because God wants you
-
on earth. And there are many people who think like that.
-
And oh you know, these wars, you know, and rumors
-
of wars and famine and COVID nineteen. You know, the
-
earth is useless and just you know, who wants to
-
live anymore? Heaven is better, Heaven is more beautiful. And
-
of course they're right, Heaven is better. Heaven, it is
-
more beautiful. But God has put us here for a
-
reason to make a difference for Him in Him, through him,
-
you know, I once watched a video of mighty Men
-
of God in Nigeria. His name is Benson Idahosa and
-
Benson ida Hoosa if you ever google him. He died
-
at about fifty nine, just sitting down and telling his friends.
-
He says, hey, how maever you want to follow me
-
to heaven, you will watch one of the videos. And
-
he said, oh, it's too early, and I said, I'm
-
ready to go. He put close his eyes and we
-
went back to the Lord on the spot on the sea.
-
They all had to come to him, shake him. Not right.
-
He just went home and you will if you ever
-
watch his videos.
-
Crazy.
-
He went up to his pastor at a very young age.
-
His pastor said, preached from the Bible and said, you
-
can raise the Dad. So the man, the young man
-
came out to his pastor, pastor, do you really mean it?
-
Have you ever raised the Dad? The pasta said, I
-
haven't raised the Dad, but the Bible says so, so
-
I teach it. And he said to him, he said,
-
to young Benson Benson, if you want to try it,
-
go hit because the Bible says it, so you can
-
try it.
-
But I haven't.
-
Pastor was very honest, I haven't so Benson took his
-
bicycle went around the village to look for a funeral,
-
and one but your funeral.
-
They asked him to get.
-
Out because he said, I want to come and pray
-
for the dad. And so only one place, okay, only
-
allowed him because the mother just lost her daughter. And
-
her daughter is about maybe about I think ten eight
-
or young, very young. I can't remember the whole I
-
watched soo many of the videos. I can't remember exactly,
-
but she was young. And so he went in there
-
and first of the mother was like, you know, don't
-
hold my daughter, don't touch her.
-
I don't know who you are.
-
He says, no, I came to pray for her, and
-
I want to see whether Jesus who raised up anyway,
-
long story short, he held her and he said, I
-
said the same thing as Jesus said, talita to me,
-
which means a girl ariyes, And so he didn't didn't
-
come alive the first time he said it. I think
-
he had to say ten times, and then she came alive.
-
She came alive, and the whole village came to know
-
the lord. And I think he raised up maybe another
-
ten or eleven or chielve more dead people to life.
-
One time, one guy they said, fell from third floor
-
and when he hit hit the ground, his his hit
-
broke and his brains kind of like came out of
-
the skull. And Benson, you know, Hosa came and he
-
picked up the brain, put it back into the skull
-
and prayed over the skull. The skull healed back. The
-
guy rose up, and you know, it's quite amazing stories.
-
And it's Benson. It's pretty humble, pretty humble, but he
-
just believes in this. Whatever this says, I have no
-
reason to doubt it. If he says so, you'll be
-
done all right.
-
Uh.
-
And this is the man. When the witches wanted to
-
have a witch conference, it's called the Warlords and Witches Conference.
-
It was going to be the biggest in uh, the world,
-
and they wanted to have in Nigeria in this place
-
called Benin b e n i n Banin. And I
-
remember benzro Hosta said, you are not going to have
-
this conference in my land.
-
He said, it's amazing. How Christians can, you.
-
Know, take hold of the territory that God has given
-
them and speak it. And the wallot said to you
-
know what the warlot said, to Benson. He says, even
-
if your God came down, he will not be able
-
to stop it. Oh way, Boler, you know best, answered,
-
my God doesn't have to come down because I'm here.
-
I love right now, my God doesn't have to come
-
down because I'm here. I want you to hear that
-
and understand that we all have a plan and a
-
purpose in God to be here and don't always have
-
to have Jesus do it for you because He has
-
called you to do it for him. He has given
-
us authority, he's given us power, he's given us his
-
Holy Spirit, and every little small thing somebody's Christians want
-
him to come back down and do it for us,
-
and he's saying, I've given you the power. So Benson
-
hidro Hosta, I never heard his say that that, and
-
I never heard his say with such confidence say my
-
God doesn't have to come down.
-
I'm here.
-
And I remember he had an interview with because they
-
knew there was a fight five thousand witches and five
-
thousand warlocks.
-
It's gonna come.
-
And he says, you are not going to step in
-
my land, Benson said to them, And so the TV
-
station brought Benson together with the chief Warlot and they
-
had a had, you know, dialogue on National TV.
-
Everybody in Benin was watching it.
-
Okay, of course they already heard about Benson being a
-
no nonsense man.
-
He is a man of God.
-
He is, you know, a representative ambassador of the Lord
-
Jesus Christ. He sat down there and he and he
-
looked at the Warlord. He says, you will not have
-
this conference here. He says, who's going to stop me?
-
He says, I am. He says, I want to let
-
you know. Then they talk talk talk talk for now.
-
They don't know how, maybe half an hour, forty five minutes.
-
Then he turned to the Warlot and he says, you
-
know what, my Bible says. My Bible says that every
-
warlot and witch must die. I'm a man of God.
-
I'm going to tell you right now that if you
-
confess in front of me that you are a warlot,
-
I'll kill you now. And I don't even have to
-
touch you. National TV and the which the Warlot chiever. Okay,
-
watch it on the video. This is this is all documented.
-
Not sure whether the interview is documented, but the story is.
-
And the Warlot is looking at Benson and Benzon says
-
you just have to confess it. Just say I am
-
a warlot and according to my Bible, you would die. Now,
-
just confess it. I'm gonna ask you right now, are
-
you a warlot? And the wallord says no, I'm not.
-
And it's now in the Constitution of Benin that witchcraft
-
and warlord is illegal in the constitution because of Benson
-
is hosta. Do you know that we can even affect
-
laws constitutions. Kings and princes, you got to know your authority,
-
Let your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth
-
as it is in heaven. Jesus taught us how to
-
pray that so when we pray, we got to know
-
that it's not just God doing it all the time.
-
He has put us here for a reason. We can
-
actually walk into our school and change it in Jesus name.
-
Do you believe it? We can actually walk into our
-
office and change it in Jesus name. We carry the
-
presence of God in atmosphere. We can walk into Kotakbuni.
-
Once upon a time, two and a half years ago,
-
there was nothing here. This this space was empty. Today
-
is filled with life. You can enter and you can
-
claim and you can believe are.
-
You also with me. This is very important.
-
You gotta understand there is a great plan for all
-
of our lives, and I want you to take authority
-
and I want you to believe it in Jesus name.
-
Okay, here we go.
-
We can look at another scripture now, and we find
-
it in Genesis chapter one.
-
Then God said, let us make man in our image.
-
Oh I love this. You and I were made in
-
the image of all Mighty God. You and I are
-
gods on the earth in His image. If I don't
-
have the time, but I'll tell you there's one or
-
two scriptures. One in Psalms, I think that says you
-
know you are called God's And then Jesus himself repeated that.
-
He says, he says, you make yourself to be a god.
-
They complained, and he says you're a scripture says you
-
are all gods. And but I don't have time to
-
go into that. What I'm trying to say is that
-
we believe that because we are made in God's image,
-
we are like God's on the earth, and the Bible
-
supports that.
-
But we don't go around being proud to say, serve me,
-
I'm a God. Are you with me? But we are
-
God like, we actually have His image.
-
And so the enemy is supposed to be afraid of
-
us because they see not us but the God in us.
-
And yet sometimes and many times we run away from
-
the enemy because the enemy has twisted our identity and
-
robbed us of who we really are in God. So
-
we are made in His image according to our likeness.
-
Let them have dominion over the fish of the sea,
-
over the birds of the air. So we are given
-
not only the image. You're given the authority, the dominion
-
over the birds of the air, and over the cattle,
-
and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing
-
that creeps on the earth. So God created man, and
-
it's all image in the image of God. He created
-
him male and female. He created them.
-
Then God bless them and said to them, be fruitful
-
and multiply. Amen. Feel the earth. Yeah, so we are
-
supposed to feel the earth.
-
Okay, what does Habercook two fourteen say that if you're
-
part of extras for a good time, you will know
-
that that is our overarching vision. Habercook two fourteen says,
-
and the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of
-
the glory of the Lord. As the waters cover the sea.
-
So the Lord is always into filling the earth. Come on,
-
ex quote the commoning, feel it, quote the communing. Feel
-
him by you, you feel Tropicana feels a century. This
-
is God's will, all right, fill it with his kingdom.
-
Feel it with his will. Let his kingdom come. His
-
will be done on earth, or in quote the commoning
-
as it is in heaven. Somebody say, Amen, have dominion,
-
all right, have dominion, have authority.
-
Okay, this is God's will.
-
So let me now take you through twelve points very quickly,
-
of the plan, the pothole, the patch up, and the purpose.
-
And I want you, by the end of this meeting
-
to understand there is a purpose and there is a
-
great plan for all of our lives.
-
Do whatever you are called to do.
-
Work, earn money, take care of your children, love your spousers,
-
and do well for your families.
-
But understand there is a greater plan and there is
-
a wonderful purpose. Can I hear good? Amen? The plan.
-
Let's look at that slide. The plan, which is sometimes
-
called the vision, God's vision. God's dream for us number
-
one was to spread his kingdom. Imagine with me, God
-
Almighty in heaven, having all the beauty and all the
-
blessings wanted to share it with you and me.
-
That's the plan, I believe.
-
If there's anyone here in this room who is wealthy
-
and has a little bit more, and you're blessed and
-
as bonus all around you, after a while, you desire
-
in your heart to share it, especially with your sons
-
and daughters. If I were to interview parents here, most
-
of them will probably have one thing in common. They
-
will say, we are doing this for our children. We
-
are doing this, you know, to leave something behind for them.
-
They are not thinking about themselves most of the time
-
when they have children. That thinking about their children. So
-
when I think about God the Father, I think about him, oh,
-
enjoying heaven so much, and now he wants to spread.
-
If you ask any businessman, any successful businessmen, their desire
-
is to franchise. I've yet to meet a very successful
-
business man who just wants to keep it to himself
-
or to keep it here in Kotaku. Most of the time,
-
if they have a very very good dish, like the
-
best cunry, they want to share this recipe with more people.
-
Not the recipe, but you know the food. And God
-
is like that. He is so blessed, so big, so
-
oh Phil so much.
-
He says, I gotta share this, and so he's he
-
wanted to spread, he wanted to franchise heaven to earth,
-
and by before he does that, he has to share
-
his image because there is no way you can lead
-
heaven on earth if you don't have God's DNA. You know,
-
in the old days, especially in America, and sometimes we
-
see it also in the UK, people call their businesses
-
the name and sons like for able Kenneth and sons,
-
Daniel and sons.
-
Uh, you know, son and sons. Okay, Uh, they're very
-
proud of leaving.
-
Okay, I know, yes, finally because you have got two daughters,
-
yeah maybe one most coming, so the thing to more
-
because sons, right, yess Okay, I can be daughters. Daughters, Hey, daughters,
-
I included to somebody, s aymen, but you know why
-
fathers find.
-
It very.
-
Convenient to pass it on to their sons because by
-
the fact that they are sons, it is believed that
-
the sons will catch the father's DNA, catch the father's heart.
-
Because you've been with the father for many years, living
-
with him, eating with him, you know your dad better
-
than any one of us. I know him a little bit. Yeah,
-
he's sharing me some testimony worthy of a book. Yeah,
-
but you know him. Ah see sitting right in front
-
of me, eligia. Right. You know your dad, You know
-
your mamos better than anyone else. And if your dad
-
had a huge kingdom kg kingdom, ganesh uh, you know
-
who he would trust more than anybody else. He trust
-
his sons. And so that's that's what what God had
-
to do first before we were to lead his franchise.
-
He's heavily franchised on Earth. See even McDonald's like that. Right.
-
They had to send people to learn their DNA.
-
I was in an interview for Singapore Airlines many many
-
years ago, and they because I had a law degree,
-
my first interview I failed. He says, Kenneth, you you
-
seem to want to study more, so why don't you
-
go to finish your law degree and then come back.
-
So I finished my law degree, came back. He said, hey,
-
you're a lawyer. Now you still want to fly for us?
-
You know s allies. I said well yeah. So they
-
said okay, okay, since you're so determiner, we will give
-
you a second interview in Singapore. And as as we
-
were talking, I said, there was one guy arguing at
-
the front. I said, guy just right the corner, you know,
-
like telling of his experiences to the few captains that
-
was interviewing him. And I wonder why he's shouting and
-
because it sounds like he's got experience. And then the
-
captain who's interviewing me, he said, actually, we don't want
-
people to experience because when you come in as an
-
Air Force pilot, you might come in with your own ways,
-
and we don't want you to fly Singapore airlines in
-
your air Force ways.
-
You gotta fly Singable airlines our way. Whoa right?
-
Otherwise it's like top gun incoming incoming twelve o'clock.
-
Hello. Just get me to boada please?
-
Hello? And uh and I said, oh wow. You know,
-
the more you tell us that you have a thousand hours,
-
the more we say bye bye. We want you from scratch.
-
We want to train you with our DNA so that
-
when you are under pressure in the plane, you only
-
remember our way. So when you're leading heaven on Earth,
-
do it God's way. So he shared his image with us.
-
And what did the devil do? He tried to spoil
-
that image, because when we lose that image, when we
-
lose knowing what God wants, we will really foul this up.
-
McDonald's ten to give your chicken, you know what to say,
-
because this because you want more chicken. You know what
-
I'm saying. Something you change the recipe, right, And Colonel
-
Sanders is rolling in his grave right or KFC becoming
-
in w you know, because you like, you know, you
-
seem to like the restaurant around the corner, and yet
-
you know, in McDonald's McDonald's and people are proud about
-
what they have. God is proud about what he has.
-
He doesn't need us to change it. He doesn't need
-
us to change his recipe at all, doesn't need us
-
to change it. So he says, sons, I want to
-
make sons. And so Adam failed. You know that, But
-
Jesus came as a son and did exactly. He says,
-
I only do what I see my father do. I
-
only say what I hear my father say. It is
-
his recipe.
-
No one else is. Are you with me? The son
-
of God showing us that this is the only.
-
Way you can lead heaven on earth? And so the
-
next slight says, show so when God wants to spread.
-
That's the first slide. He will give us his image.
-
He will share his image so that finally we can
-
show his glory.
-
Are yours? Say with me?
-
If you don't share his image, you will show another glory.
-
You know, how many of you have ever seen the
-
last part of that prayer that Jesus taught us, is
-
your kingdom, come, your will be done right? So he says,
-
for yours is the kingdom, the power, and the glory.
-
Wat she's a bird, show you something else that you
-
may not have seen before. So if you do it
-
God's kingdom, you start seeing the flow. The flow will
-
be kingdom. Yours is the kingdom, the power. So when
-
you trust God's kingdom, you will God get God's power.
-
And finally, you cannot take the glory for yourself because
-
it's God's kingdom. God's power has to be God's glory.
-
You see, what man does is man forgets God's kingdom.
-
So he he lives in his own kingdom. He is
-
king of his own kingdom. And he says, is my
-
way or the highway, And so he draws from his
-
own power. And in many instances that is not enough.
-
And even if it's just enough. That's why he gets
-
all the glory. I assue me. So I'm like just
-
quite questioned to this one. He is what kingdom are
-
you depending on? Because the kingdom that you depend on
-
will also be where that power will come from. And
-
when you receive power from the kingdom, you cannot but
-
give God all the glory.
-
Yes or no.
-
The reason why man keeps getting the glory for himself
-
because right there the beginning, he used.
-
His own kingdom and he uses his own power. Everybody.
-
Okay, so the first tree slides again. What's God's plan?
-
His plan is to spread Okay. He wants Heaven on earth,
-
so he shares. He says, Let's make man who will
-
take care of earth, and I will give him my image.
-
He will be like God on earth. He will be
-
like me on earth. And only when he's like me.
-
Only when he's like me, I'm gonna repeat it again,
-
only when he's like me, like Jesus, he will be
-
able to rule this earth like.
-
Like Heaven.
-
And what's what's the result was the point of all
-
this to show his glory, to show his ways, to
-
show his beauty, to show that it works. God's ways works. Everybody,
-
you say, Okay, all right, now let's go into the
-
bad news. The bad news is the potholes banyah the Malaysia. Okay,
-
and sometimes in our lives. All right, the bad news
-
here we go. Bad news number one, Satan. I want
-
to remind all of us here that Satan is very real,
-
very real. I also want to remind you that he's
-
been in this business for a long time. Somebody is
-
a long time, very long. And yet some of us,
-
you know, think that you know, we've got a new strategy.
-
I think he's seen it all alone, because most of
-
the strategies repeat themselves on and sometimes we think we're
-
very smart. We can beat this pornography by ourselves, we
-
can beat this sin, this greet by ourselves.
-
We're going to be okay.
-
You think you're probably the only family like there's like this,
-
and not realize that for the past six thousand years
-
there's been families like yours, maybe a thousand times. And
-
the devil has seen it over and over again, and
-
he knows the buttons to press. He's very sly. Hey,
-
hold on, ladies, and Devin. He was able to even
-
deceive Adam. And if you think about it was the
-
wisest man, so wise that he can name the animals.
-
Remember that.
-
Yeah, I know Past had not said it before, But
-
hippopotamos is no.
-
Easy word to find. You know, I can't even spell it.
-
How many of you can try?
-
Come on, Albert, you can do it, hi hee put
-
the time was okay, all right, right, he's a really
-
let me go. Yeah, I know, Rachelle can. She is
-
easy for hippopotamos. Really, the way Rachelle says, really, Past,
-
I know I took take away the mic immediately. She
-
might not be my friend after that. Oh you know,
-
this big animal comes across naked Adam. Probably the animal
-
is as surprised as Adam was. And Adam says, and
-
you shall be called hippo potamos. Giraffe comes and your
-
name is g Ralph with double F.
-
You know it's crazy, you know.
-
And you will be called centiped and next to you,
-
don't bluff. I know you're a different millipit, you know
-
what I say. And you shall be called rabbit maybe
-
bunny sometimes, but you shall be different than the hair,
-
you know what I say. And yet Satan took both
-
of them down. So I have come to place by
-
a Let's not be too smart for ourselves. Let's not
-
be thinking that we can we got this.
-
We ain't got this without Jesus.
-
I'm telling you right now, we ain't got this without Jesus,
-
because only he defeated Satan. But there is is oh
-
being that God created called Lucifer, glorious, beautiful chief or musician.
-
You know the idea.
-
I heard something I don't want to tell you, but
-
I think i'll tell you anyway, Ela, because there was
-
a worship conference and one guy said, can I say something?
-
And I think some of you might throw stones at
-
me when I say it, but some of our Christian
-
songs could have been written by Satan, no scripture, no Jesus.
-
And are you surprised that the chief of musician can
-
write a good song? And then he said, you know,
-
sometimes I think we turned to Satan and say, get
-
you behind me before I sing one of those worship
-
songs that it's very popular in church today, and Satan says,
-
go ahead.
-
I wrote that anyway. In fact, that's my favorite. I
-
like the beat.
-
Guess everybody going gets the flesh moving, but the spirit
-
has no nothing.
-
And so I watched it.
-
I got like I told my wife, L said, my wife, Oh,
-
you really are so harsher, I said, a lie, he's
-
just sharing that. You know, he was convicted one day.
-
That don't you think that Satan's writing many Christian songs
-
also no power, just feeling and that a lot of
-
young people that only like feelings these days.
-
So he's going to get a generation.
-
He's going to get a generation those days that when
-
we sang, you know, we're sang scriptures, right, We're sang
-
songs that you know, the focus was on the lot. Now,
-
I know it's a painful thing to hear, and but
-
someone's got to hear with the with the heart that's opened.
-
Is this really true?
-
Yeah? It could be because sometimes I just have a good,
-
feel good worship thirty minutes. But my spirit was not enriched,
-
my mind was not renewed, my life was not transformed.
-
Hmmm. So second bad news is sin sin.
-
So it's not just Satan is sin if you didn't
-
realize it by now, I've put all these words in
-
s So God wants to spread his kingdom, he wants
-
to share his image, he wants to show his glory,
-
he wants to use us. But then comes a porthole
-
because Satan came tempted Eve and Adam. And then there's
-
also sin. Satan is outside, Sin is inside, Satan is outside,
-
Sin is inside. Sin is a desire, James one fourteen
-
to fifteen says, but each one is tempted when he's
-
drawn away by his own desires. It always starts with desire.
-
Pornography starts with the desire. Gluttony starts with the desire.
-
But the desire itself is not wrong. Is when you
-
act on that desire, the Bible says, it becomes sin.
-
Are you with me very clear? In the world now,
-
the tempter is the devil. So the devil's job from
-
the outside is always to tempt you. However, you know,
-
when you passa when you're twenty one days, you turner,
-
that's when all the quake comes out.
-
I don't know why. But that's when you pass by
-
your favorite restaurants. I don't know why. That's when your
-
friend starts ordering your favorite dish. I don't know why.
-
That's when they produce a new drink in Starbucks.
-
Okay, that you know is your is your favorite fruit.
-
I don't know why.
-
You know, but the devil is constantly at work. But
-
he can only tempt. He cannot be your desire. Your
-
desire might deca comes from within to smack someone across
-
the face because you're angry.
-
It is from within.
-
But because of Jesus, you have self control, because of
-
the Holy Spirit. That's one of the fruit of the spirit.
-
Amen a desire. You're enticed. Then when desire has conceived,
-
so you can you gotta give birth to the desire. Yeah,
-
you got pornography on your mind, but you don't have
-
to watch it. But then you go into your Internet
-
and then you know you're struggling or what will God say?
-
Will the Holy Spirit be comfortable watching pornography with me?
-
Where are you struggle? You know? And you turn on
-
you know, then you start finding not x A cts,
-
but you know the letter X you know. And I'm
-
not teaching you how to watch pography, but you know.
-
And so you you begin to time and you go, oh,
-
you you know, you pray this prayer, this famous prayer. Satan,
-
get behind me and push me in, push me in.
-
I don't want to push me. It's not I who
-
want to, but push me, give me that nudge. Satan,
-
get behind me and push me in. No, you don't
-
want to prayer, say their prayer, all right? So sin inside.
-
It's getting quieter and quieter. X got the communey. I
-
don't know why.
-
Yeah, I will. I will go, even though you don't follow,
-
I will go. Don't none go with me? Still I
-
will fall o Romans five Child, Romans five Job.
-
Therefore, just as through one man that's Adam, sin entered
-
the world and death, Oh my God, through sin, and
-
thus death spread to all men because all sin Romans tree,
-
twenty three, all have sinned and fallen short of the
-
glory of God Romans six, twenty three. For the wages
-
of sin is death, but the gift of God is
-
eternal life through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Death is the
-
penalty all of us. And sometimes it's not physical death,
-
it's spiritual death. Because we live in sin, there's a
-
lot of guilt, and we don't want to come to
-
homes now. We don't go to church now because that's guilt.
-
The enemy has caught us in a place, you know,
-
in a snare, in a trap. But sin is real.
-
Satan is real. Sin is real. And third slide for porthole,
-
the bad news is and we were all separated from God.
-
All of us were separated from God. And that's why
-
we need to be given the ministry of reconciliation, all
-
of us. When we have Jesus, we are reconcil to
-
the Father. Through Jesus. Come on, we are reconcil and
-
we are given the ministry of reconciliation. Okay, there is
-
a separation. One of the worst punishment for Jesus on
-
the cross, ladies and gentlemen, was not the nails on
-
his hands and on his feet, but that he had
-
to say, Eli lamas abakdani, My God, my God, why
-
have you forsaken me? And for all his life, the son,
-
the Father, and the Spirit has never been separated.
-
They are one.
-
Everybody's still with me. But because of our sin, God
-
has to tell his face away. When Jesus died on
-
the cross, he turned his face away because God cannot
-
stand sin. He doesn't like sin, he doesn't want sin,
-
he hates sin. So when the sin came on his son,
-
our sin on his son, his son became a perfect sacrifice.
-
But God had to turn away, and that time, for
-
all of eternity never separated for a second, and after
-
the cross, never separated again.
-
The Son is seated at the right hand of the
-
Father today. Amen.
-
But for that one moment, that's why the earth became dark,
-
so dark, because the greatest sorrow of all the earth
-
and the heavens happened there when God forsook his son.
-
Eli Lama, why have you forsaken me?
-
And so the bad news is that we were separated
-
from God because separators from God.
-
But the good news is and we're getting through it.
-
Jesus took that sin and he paid the price of
-
separation so that he can recconcilates back to God.
-
Okay, let's now look at the patch up.
-
Somebody came, all right, and he's not MPSJ is not MBKL. Okay,
-
it's not bandar ayas Jesus. So let's start with the
-
first s. This is the good news. The Savior came.
-
His name is Jesus. He is the Savior of the world.
-
Ladies and gentlemen, some of you thinker that when you
-
tell your friends about Savior, they don't understand.
-
I tell you this.
-
Please be confident that every human being on this earth
-
has within their heart a desire for a savior. When
-
I see people running to the Cinemasa to watch Superman.
-
It's because within that Superman character is a savior, and
-
everybody likes the care because of his saving qualities. If
-
everybody fails, Superman cannot fail because he can see true walls.
-
He got laser eyes. He can blow and what the
-
waters the lake turn into ice so that he can
-
come down and have you seen eye? He can come
-
down and carry the lake. So there, and then there's
-
fire going on somewhere, and he just released lake water
-
with all the fish, not a care for the fish
-
in the lake, you know, just pouring in the fish
-
all died. But people are saying, so okay, all right,
-
he can do all these things. The only thing that
-
will cause him to be weak is kryptonite, all right.
-
And the underwear weighing outside that one also, that one,
-
to me, it was his weakest point. But not just
-
on the way outside with a bell, I know, I
-
never see people have to wait underway with the belt,
-
all right, all right, then they becomes small and smaller.
-
He went from uh, you know, shots, ah, from shorts
-
to briefs, speedos against.
-
And so all this.
-
You know, Marvel comics come out and every one of
-
them is you. You know one of the best saviors
-
that ever came out is Matrix. Because Neil, Neil can
-
never die. You shim, have you seen that bullet all?
-
I would like that power. You speed me, your speed stated,
-
go back to you. No, cannot die, cannot die. How
-
can your savior die? And yet even there's a movie
-
one of the one of the series Superman di No,
-
Jesus died also for our sins, but it was raised
-
to life because you can't kill the son of God, Jesus.
-
There is a longing in every heart for a savior.
-
People like those kinds of things because actually we need
-
to be safe. We don't know, we need to be safe.
-
And Jesus Christ is the savior of the world, the
-
son of God, to save the world.
-
Amen. Romans five seventy to nineteen. Let me look my time.
-
Am I good for time? Or have to finish it?
-
For if by the one man's offense, death reigned through
-
the one Sometimes you're having too much fun now preaching
-
the word, then the time goes. I also went over
-
time in Passac Clarictu in church last Sunday, fifteen minutes
-
and then thank God, they all came up to me,
-
said we didn't feel it.
-
I said, thank you for lying.
-
Much more, those who receive abundance of grace and of
-
the gifts of righteousness were raiding in life through the
-
one Jesus Christ. For us, by one man's discorbeit many
-
wire made sin us, so also by one man's obedience,
-
many will be made righteous Romans five, ten to eleven.
-
For if when we were enemies, we will reconciled to God.
-
Oh there you go again, reconcile to God through the
-
death of his son. Much more, having been reconciled, we
-
shall be saved by his life. And not only that,
-
but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
-
through whom we have now received reconciliation. Salvation is the
-
next slide. That's good news. That's good news. All of
-
us are saved in Jesus. And then third slide, for
-
this point of patch up is that we all made
-
sons and daughters of the Lord. We have been restored.
-
You see, I told you before and I'll tell you again.
-
The ultimate goal is not salvation. The ultimate goal is
-
to make you and me sons and daughters again. All right,
-
Because sometimes people think that salvation is the ultimate goal
-
they can get saved and thedn't go back home to
-
be with the Lord.
-
No, if that was ultimate, God will save you and
-
take you home. Right, No, he saves you and leaves
-
you behind to do your job for him. All right.
-
Drawing to a close now, John one twelve no says
-
that when we receive him, he gave us a right
-
to become children of God. Romans eight fourteen says, as
-
many as I led by the spirit of God, these
-
are sons of God. John fourteen six says, I'm the Way,
-
the truth and life. No one comes to the Father
-
except through me. You know what I like about John
-
fourteen six. Then you know, let's let's let's let's remember
-
what John fourteen six says again that Jesus said, I
-
am the Way, the Truth and the life. No one
-
comes to heaven except through me. Does he say that, No,
-
it doesn't. It does say it doesn't say no one
-
comes to heaven. Jesus eyes was not I'm the way,
-
the truth and life. I just want to get you
-
back to heaven. Is I am the way the truth
-
and life. No one comes to the Father means you
-
are to come to the Father, not just to heaven
-
as sons and daughters.
-
He didn't even say no one comes to God. He
-
said no one comes to the Father.
-
His mind was to make you and I back again
-
into sons and daughters for the Most High God, so
-
that if there's any riches, any warlots in your life,
-
you stand as a son and a daughter, and you
-
you engage with this person because you are like a
-
god on the earth representing him. Never be afraid of
-
warlords and witches and any other demonic power, because you
-
and I are not only save you and I are
-
sons and daughters of the Most High God. All right,
-
let's finish this the purpose, the plan, the pothole, the
-
patch up, and the purpose the purposes that we are
-
sent as sons to do what God has always wanted
-
from the beginning. First of this last bit is sent.
-
Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us
-
to himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the
-
ministry of reconciliation. Amen. And now then we are ambassadors
-
for Christ, as though God were pleading through us. We
-
implore you, on Christ's behalf, we reconciled to God. Second
-
Corinthians five eighteen and twenty. The next light says Stewart,
-
we're not just sent as sons, but we're sent as
-
people that are supposed to Stewart. God's earth, Stuart, whatever
-
God gives to us. Another word for the word Stewart
-
is manager. Now, if you don't know your calling in
-
this life, I want to tell you're calling now. All
-
of you were called to be managers, all of us.
-
That's why the Bible says Adam was put into the
-
garden to tend and keep it, or to keep and
-
tend it. What that means is he was put into
-
the garden to manage it. Eybody, okay, let me give
-
you a sentence. Now, whatever you manage will grow. Whatever
-
you mismanage, you will lose. If you mismanage your marriage,
-
you will lose your marriage. If you mismanage your money,
-
you will lose your money. If you mismanage your children,
-
you will lose your children. If you mismanage your company,
-
you will lose your company. If you mismanage your health,
-
you will lose your health. We are all called to
-
be managers. If you manage it well, it will grow.
-
Somebody say amen, we are all called to be managers.
-
If you manage your faith, well, it will grow. If
-
you mismanage your faith, you will be faithless. And finally,
-
the last s is saturated. So wherever we go, the
-
Lord wants us to fill the earth, fill your office,
-
fill your house, feel your neighborhood, fill your school, feel
-
your college. Wherever we go, the next light says, and
-
whatever we do, show everyone around you what heaven looks like.
-
Because you and I I am bastless.
-
You and I are representingis representatives of Heaven, Heaven on earth.
-
Show your family members what heaven looks like, not only
-
to get them longing for heaven one day, but to
-
get them living heaven on Earth today.
-
Romans eight nineteen. I close.
-
For the earnest expectation of the creation, eagerly waits for
-
the revealing of the sons of God. Yeah, the earnest
-
expectation of Malaysia eagerly waits for you Albert, for you Sonny,
-
for you Rachelle to show up, so that God can
-
show off. Got the communing earnestly expects, eagerly waits for
-
the revealing of x KK and anyone else who will

-
we enter a restaurant, The restaurant changes. When we enter
-
the pharmacy. The pharmacy changes. When we enter the hospital.
-
The hospital changes the whole of GOOTA community is waiting
-
for you, and yet you're sitting on your seat playing
-
video games all day. And yet your neighbor is waiting
-
for you to show up, and yet your family is
-
waiting for you to be revealed. So, in the name
-
of Jesus, everybody, stand to your feet. Hallelujah. I know
-
I'm ending with a strong challenge. The reason why things
-
haven't changed most of the time around us is because
-
we haven't shown up. Because we haven't stood up, is
-
because we haven't spoken up. And yet the world waits
-
in earnest expectation for the revealing of the sons of
-
men starting the Cantonese homes. It's because they are Cantony
-
speaking people. It got the communing waiting earnestly.
-
Where are you.
-
I can't see you, I can't hear you, And so
-
they are lost because Christians are so relaxed and so
-
in themselves and to themselves and my own comfort and.
-
My own family.
-
And I want to do what I want to do
-
and leave worship for Sunday, Monday to Saturday is mine
-
and I don't care.
-
And yet your neighbors are waiting for you to speak up.
-
Smile at them, shake their hands, give them something over Hanraya,
-
give them something over Chinese New Year.
-
Bake a cake for them. Do something for your neighbors.
-
People are waiting for the sons and daughters of God
-
to be revealed. Carry Island waits every month for us
-

-

-

-
don't just want to have nice cars and nice houses.
-

-
