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

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

  3. This is the prayer that Jesus taught us how to pray.

  4. All of you know it right.

  5. If you would like to rehearse it, let's do it

  6. now in this manner. Therefore, pray our Father in heaven,

  7. hallow would be your name, your kingdom.

  8. Come.

  9. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

  10. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us

  11. our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And do not

  12. lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one,

  13. for yours is the kingdom and the power and the

  14. glory forever.

  15. Amen. Amen.

  16. Now, Jesus, out of all the words he could use,

  17. and now of all the prayers he could teach us,

  18. he taught us one. And he, I believe specifically pick

  19. these words, because he could pick a thousand words. And

  20. this prayer is actually not long noise, and most of

  21. us have memorized it already.

  22. And he said, this is the way you should pray.

  23. This is Jesus teaching you are not just Kenneth Chin

  24. or any guru here on earth.

  25. Is the Guru of gurus, the king of.

  26. Kings, a lot of laws, and so you must take

  27. special notice of a prayer that Jesus, the Son of

  28. God himself taught us.

  29. That means he must be using this prayer himself.

  30. In fact, when he said our Father, I really believe

  31. he's praying with us every day.

  32. Otherwise he was.

  33. You know, if Daniel was asked me to teach me

  34. how to pray, I would say say this, Daniel, my

  35. father in heaven right because he's asking me to teach him.

  36. So I was saying, my father. But when I say

  37. our I I'm telling you right now to include me

  38. all the time. Jesus saying, when you pray, you are

  39. including me. I'm praying this prayer with you because I

  40. prayed it myself and I was on earth. Our Father,

  41. who are in heaven, had he be your name?

  42. So I love it.

  43. No. Every time on my knees I'm praying our Father,

  44. who are in heaven. When I'm praying that, I can

  45. hear Jesus repeating it up with me, and we are

  46. praying it together, our Father in heaven. Hello, it be

  47. your name, your kingdom, Come, Your will be done. So

  48. I want to emphasize on this particular line, your kingdom come,

  49. Your will be.

  50. Done on earth as it is in heaven.

  51. Now, when you read these words, you can also get

  52. a sense of what God's will is. He came all

  53. the way to teach you this prayer right and to say,

  54. this is really the will of God.

  55. This is really what I want at the end of

  56. the day.

  57. I want my kingdom to come, my will to be

  58. done on what earth as it is in heaven.

  59. Now.

  60. I preach this in past Clarian to Church last Sunday

  61. because their theme is Heaven on Earth, and they want

  62. to let their people know that. Don't be so desperate

  63. to get back to heaven, lofe, because God wants you

  64. on earth. And there are many people who think like that.

  65. And oh you know, these wars, you know, and rumors

  66. of wars and famine and COVID nineteen. You know, the

  67. earth is useless and just you know, who wants to

  68. live anymore? Heaven is better, Heaven is more beautiful. And

  69. of course they're right, Heaven is better. Heaven, it is

  70. more beautiful. But God has put us here for a

  71. reason to make a difference for Him in Him, through him,

  72. you know, I once watched a video of mighty Men

  73. of God in Nigeria. His name is Benson Idahosa and

  74. Benson ida Hoosa if you ever google him. He died

  75. at about fifty nine, just sitting down and telling his friends.

  76. He says, hey, how maever you want to follow me

  77. to heaven, you will watch one of the videos. And

  78. he said, oh, it's too early, and I said, I'm

  79. ready to go. He put close his eyes and we

  80. went back to the Lord on the spot on the sea.

  81. They all had to come to him, shake him. Not right.

  82. He just went home and you will if you ever

  83. watch his videos.

  84. Crazy.

  85. He went up to his pastor at a very young age.

  86. His pastor said, preached from the Bible and said, you

  87. can raise the Dad. So the man, the young man

  88. came out to his pastor, pastor, do you really mean it?

  89. Have you ever raised the Dad? The pasta said, I

  90. haven't raised the Dad, but the Bible says so, so

  91. I teach it. And he said to him, he said,

  92. to young Benson Benson, if you want to try it,

  93. go hit because the Bible says it, so you can

  94. try it.

  95. But I haven't.

  96. Pastor was very honest, I haven't so Benson took his

  97. bicycle went around the village to look for a funeral,

  98. and one but your funeral.

  99. They asked him to get.

  100. Out because he said, I want to come and pray

  101. for the dad. And so only one place, okay, only

  102. allowed him because the mother just lost her daughter. And

  103. her daughter is about maybe about I think ten eight

  104. or young, very young. I can't remember the whole I

  105. watched soo many of the videos. I can't remember exactly,

  106. but she was young. And so he went in there

  107. and first of the mother was like, you know, don't

  108. hold my daughter, don't touch her.

  109. I don't know who you are.

  110. He says, no, I came to pray for her, and

  111. I want to see whether Jesus who raised up anyway,

  112. long story short, he held her and he said, I

  113. said the same thing as Jesus said, talita to me,

  114. which means a girl ariyes, And so he didn't didn't

  115. come alive the first time he said it. I think

  116. he had to say ten times, and then she came alive.

  117. She came alive, and the whole village came to know

  118. the lord. And I think he raised up maybe another

  119. ten or eleven or chielve more dead people to life.

  120. One time, one guy they said, fell from third floor

  121. and when he hit hit the ground, his his hit

  122. broke and his brains kind of like came out of

  123. the skull. And Benson, you know, Hosa came and he

  124. picked up the brain, put it back into the skull

  125. and prayed over the skull. The skull healed back. The

  126. guy rose up, and you know, it's quite amazing stories.

  127. And it's Benson. It's pretty humble, pretty humble, but he

  128. just believes in this. Whatever this says, I have no

  129. reason to doubt it. If he says so, you'll be

  130. done all right.

  131. Uh.

  132. And this is the man. When the witches wanted to

  133. have a witch conference, it's called the Warlords and Witches Conference.

  134. It was going to be the biggest in uh, the world,

  135. and they wanted to have in Nigeria in this place

  136. called Benin b e n i n Banin. And I

  137. remember benzro Hosta said, you are not going to have

  138. this conference in my land.

  139. He said, it's amazing. How Christians can, you.

  140. Know, take hold of the territory that God has given

  141. them and speak it. And the wallot said to you

  142. know what the warlot said, to Benson. He says, even

  143. if your God came down, he will not be able

  144. to stop it. Oh way, Boler, you know best, answered,

  145. my God doesn't have to come down because I'm here.

  146. I love right now, my God doesn't have to come

  147. down because I'm here. I want you to hear that

  148. and understand that we all have a plan and a

  149. purpose in God to be here and don't always have

  150. to have Jesus do it for you because He has

  151. called you to do it for him. He has given

  152. us authority, he's given us power, he's given us his

  153. Holy Spirit, and every little small thing somebody's Christians want

  154. him to come back down and do it for us,

  155. and he's saying, I've given you the power. So Benson

  156. hidro Hosta, I never heard his say that that, and

  157. I never heard his say with such confidence say my

  158. God doesn't have to come down.

  159. I'm here.

  160. And I remember he had an interview with because they

  161. knew there was a fight five thousand witches and five

  162. thousand warlocks.

  163. It's gonna come.

  164. And he says, you are not going to step in

  165. my land, Benson said to them, And so the TV

  166. station brought Benson together with the chief Warlot and they

  167. had a had, you know, dialogue on National TV.

  168. Everybody in Benin was watching it.

  169. Okay, of course they already heard about Benson being a

  170. no nonsense man.

  171. He is a man of God.

  172. He is, you know, a representative ambassador of the Lord

  173. Jesus Christ. He sat down there and he and he

  174. looked at the Warlord. He says, you will not have

  175. this conference here. He says, who's going to stop me?

  176. He says, I am. He says, I want to let

  177. you know. Then they talk talk talk talk for now.

  178. They don't know how, maybe half an hour, forty five minutes.

  179. Then he turned to the Warlot and he says, you

  180. know what, my Bible says. My Bible says that every

  181. warlot and witch must die. I'm a man of God.

  182. I'm going to tell you right now that if you

  183. confess in front of me that you are a warlot,

  184. I'll kill you now. And I don't even have to

  185. touch you. National TV and the which the Warlot chiever. Okay,

  186. watch it on the video. This is this is all documented.

  187. Not sure whether the interview is documented, but the story is.

  188. And the Warlot is looking at Benson and Benzon says

  189. you just have to confess it. Just say I am

  190. a warlot and according to my Bible, you would die. Now,

  191. just confess it. I'm gonna ask you right now, are

  192. you a warlot? And the wallord says no, I'm not.

  193. And it's now in the Constitution of Benin that witchcraft

  194. and warlord is illegal in the constitution because of Benson

  195. is hosta. Do you know that we can even affect

  196. laws constitutions. Kings and princes, you got to know your authority,

  197. Let your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth

  198. as it is in heaven. Jesus taught us how to

  199. pray that so when we pray, we got to know

  200. that it's not just God doing it all the time.

  201. He has put us here for a reason. We can

  202. actually walk into our school and change it in Jesus name.

  203. Do you believe it? We can actually walk into our

  204. office and change it in Jesus name. We carry the

  205. presence of God in atmosphere. We can walk into Kotakbuni.

  206. Once upon a time, two and a half years ago,

  207. there was nothing here. This this space was empty. Today

  208. is filled with life. You can enter and you can

  209. claim and you can believe are.

  210. You also with me. This is very important.

  211. You gotta understand there is a great plan for all

  212. of our lives, and I want you to take authority

  213. and I want you to believe it in Jesus name.

  214. Okay, here we go.

  215. We can look at another scripture now, and we find

  216. it in Genesis chapter one.

  217. Then God said, let us make man in our image.

  218. Oh I love this. You and I were made in

  219. the image of all Mighty God. You and I are

  220. gods on the earth in His image. If I don't

  221. have the time, but I'll tell you there's one or

  222. two scriptures. One in Psalms, I think that says you

  223. know you are called God's And then Jesus himself repeated that.

  224. He says, he says, you make yourself to be a god.

  225. They complained, and he says you're a scripture says you

  226. are all gods. And but I don't have time to

  227. go into that. What I'm trying to say is that

  228. we believe that because we are made in God's image,

  229. we are like God's on the earth, and the Bible

  230. supports that.

  231. But we don't go around being proud to say, serve me,

  232. I'm a God. Are you with me? But we are

  233. God like, we actually have His image.

  234. And so the enemy is supposed to be afraid of

  235. us because they see not us but the God in us.

  236. And yet sometimes and many times we run away from

  237. the enemy because the enemy has twisted our identity and

  238. robbed us of who we really are in God. So

  239. we are made in His image according to our likeness.

  240. Let them have dominion over the fish of the sea,

  241. over the birds of the air. So we are given

  242. not only the image. You're given the authority, the dominion

  243. over the birds of the air, and over the cattle,

  244. and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing

  245. that creeps on the earth. So God created man, and

  246. it's all image in the image of God. He created

  247. him male and female. He created them.

  248. Then God bless them and said to them, be fruitful

  249. and multiply. Amen. Feel the earth. Yeah, so we are

  250. supposed to feel the earth.

  251. Okay, what does Habercook two fourteen say that if you're

  252. part of extras for a good time, you will know

  253. that that is our overarching vision. Habercook two fourteen says,

  254. and the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of

  255. the glory of the Lord. As the waters cover the sea.

  256. So the Lord is always into filling the earth. Come on,

  257. ex quote the commoning, feel it, quote the communing. Feel

  258. him by you, you feel Tropicana feels a century. This

  259. is God's will, all right, fill it with his kingdom.

  260. Feel it with his will. Let his kingdom come. His

  261. will be done on earth, or in quote the commoning

  262. as it is in heaven. Somebody say, Amen, have dominion,

  263. all right, have dominion, have authority.

  264. Okay, this is God's will.

  265. So let me now take you through twelve points very quickly,

  266. of the plan, the pothole, the patch up, and the purpose.

  267. And I want you, by the end of this meeting

  268. to understand there is a purpose and there is a

  269. great plan for all of our lives.

  270. Do whatever you are called to do.

  271. Work, earn money, take care of your children, love your spousers,

  272. and do well for your families.

  273. But understand there is a greater plan and there is

  274. a wonderful purpose. Can I hear good? Amen? The plan.

  275. Let's look at that slide. The plan, which is sometimes

  276. called the vision, God's vision. God's dream for us number

  277. one was to spread his kingdom. Imagine with me, God

  278. Almighty in heaven, having all the beauty and all the

  279. blessings wanted to share it with you and me.

  280. That's the plan, I believe.

  281. If there's anyone here in this room who is wealthy

  282. and has a little bit more, and you're blessed and

  283. as bonus all around you, after a while, you desire

  284. in your heart to share it, especially with your sons

  285. and daughters. If I were to interview parents here, most

  286. of them will probably have one thing in common. They

  287. will say, we are doing this for our children. We

  288. are doing this, you know, to leave something behind for them.

  289. They are not thinking about themselves most of the time

  290. when they have children. That thinking about their children. So

  291. when I think about God the Father, I think about him, oh,

  292. enjoying heaven so much, and now he wants to spread.

  293. If you ask any businessman, any successful businessmen, their desire

  294. is to franchise. I've yet to meet a very successful

  295. business man who just wants to keep it to himself

  296. or to keep it here in Kotaku. Most of the time,

  297. if they have a very very good dish, like the

  298. best cunry, they want to share this recipe with more people.

  299. Not the recipe, but you know the food. And God

  300. is like that. He is so blessed, so big, so

  301. oh Phil so much.

  302. He says, I gotta share this, and so he's he

  303. wanted to spread, he wanted to franchise heaven to earth,

  304. and by before he does that, he has to share

  305. his image because there is no way you can lead

  306. heaven on earth if you don't have God's DNA. You know,

  307. in the old days, especially in America, and sometimes we

  308. see it also in the UK, people call their businesses

  309. the name and sons like for able Kenneth and sons,

  310. Daniel and sons.

  311. Uh, you know, son and sons. Okay, Uh, they're very

  312. proud of leaving.

  313. Okay, I know, yes, finally because you have got two daughters,

  314. yeah maybe one most coming, so the thing to more

  315. because sons, right, yess Okay, I can be daughters. Daughters, Hey, daughters,

  316. I included to somebody, s aymen, but you know why

  317. fathers find.

  318. It very.

  319. Convenient to pass it on to their sons because by

  320. the fact that they are sons, it is believed that

  321. the sons will catch the father's DNA, catch the father's heart.

  322. Because you've been with the father for many years, living

  323. with him, eating with him, you know your dad better

  324. than any one of us. I know him a little bit. Yeah,

  325. he's sharing me some testimony worthy of a book. Yeah,

  326. but you know him. Ah see sitting right in front

  327. of me, eligia. Right. You know your dad, You know

  328. your mamos better than anyone else. And if your dad

  329. had a huge kingdom kg kingdom, ganesh uh, you know

  330. who he would trust more than anybody else. He trust

  331. his sons. And so that's that's what what God had

  332. to do first before we were to lead his franchise.

  333. He's heavily franchised on Earth. See even McDonald's like that. Right.

  334. They had to send people to learn their DNA.

  335. I was in an interview for Singapore Airlines many many

  336. years ago, and they because I had a law degree,

  337. my first interview I failed. He says, Kenneth, you you

  338. seem to want to study more, so why don't you

  339. go to finish your law degree and then come back.

  340. So I finished my law degree, came back. He said, hey,

  341. you're a lawyer. Now you still want to fly for us?

  342. You know s allies. I said well yeah. So they

  343. said okay, okay, since you're so determiner, we will give

  344. you a second interview in Singapore. And as as we

  345. were talking, I said, there was one guy arguing at

  346. the front. I said, guy just right the corner, you know,

  347. like telling of his experiences to the few captains that

  348. was interviewing him. And I wonder why he's shouting and

  349. because it sounds like he's got experience. And then the

  350. captain who's interviewing me, he said, actually, we don't want

  351. people to experience because when you come in as an

  352. Air Force pilot, you might come in with your own ways,

  353. and we don't want you to fly Singapore airlines in

  354. your air Force ways.

  355. You gotta fly Singable airlines our way. Whoa right?

  356. Otherwise it's like top gun incoming incoming twelve o'clock.

  357. Hello. Just get me to boada please?

  358. Hello? And uh and I said, oh wow. You know,

  359. the more you tell us that you have a thousand hours,

  360. the more we say bye bye. We want you from scratch.

  361. We want to train you with our DNA so that

  362. when you are under pressure in the plane, you only

  363. remember our way. So when you're leading heaven on Earth,

  364. do it God's way. So he shared his image with us.

  365. And what did the devil do? He tried to spoil

  366. that image, because when we lose that image, when we

  367. lose knowing what God wants, we will really foul this up.

  368. McDonald's ten to give your chicken, you know what to say,

  369. because this because you want more chicken. You know what

  370. I'm saying. Something you change the recipe, right, And Colonel

  371. Sanders is rolling in his grave right or KFC becoming

  372. in w you know, because you like, you know, you

  373. seem to like the restaurant around the corner, and yet

  374. you know, in McDonald's McDonald's and people are proud about

  375. what they have. God is proud about what he has.

  376. He doesn't need us to change it. He doesn't need

  377. us to change his recipe at all, doesn't need us

  378. to change it. So he says, sons, I want to

  379. make sons. And so Adam failed. You know that, But

  380. Jesus came as a son and did exactly. He says,

  381. I only do what I see my father do. I

  382. only say what I hear my father say. It is

  383. his recipe.

  384. No one else is. Are you with me? The son

  385. of God showing us that this is the only.

  386. Way you can lead heaven on earth? And so the

  387. next slight says, show so when God wants to spread.

  388. That's the first slide. He will give us his image.

  389. He will share his image so that finally we can

  390. show his glory.

  391. Are yours? Say with me?

  392. If you don't share his image, you will show another glory.

  393. You know, how many of you have ever seen the

  394. last part of that prayer that Jesus taught us, is

  395. your kingdom, come, your will be done right? So he says,

  396. for yours is the kingdom, the power, and the glory.

  397. Wat she's a bird, show you something else that you

  398. may not have seen before. So if you do it

  399. God's kingdom, you start seeing the flow. The flow will

  400. be kingdom. Yours is the kingdom, the power. So when

  401. you trust God's kingdom, you will God get God's power.

  402. And finally, you cannot take the glory for yourself because

  403. it's God's kingdom. God's power has to be God's glory.

  404. You see, what man does is man forgets God's kingdom.

  405. So he he lives in his own kingdom. He is

  406. king of his own kingdom. And he says, is my

  407. way or the highway, And so he draws from his

  408. own power. And in many instances that is not enough.

  409. And even if it's just enough. That's why he gets

  410. all the glory. I assue me. So I'm like just

  411. quite questioned to this one. He is what kingdom are

  412. you depending on? Because the kingdom that you depend on

  413. will also be where that power will come from. And

  414. when you receive power from the kingdom, you cannot but

  415. give God all the glory.

  416. Yes or no.

  417. The reason why man keeps getting the glory for himself

  418. because right there the beginning, he used.

  419. His own kingdom and he uses his own power. Everybody.

  420. Okay, so the first tree slides again. What's God's plan?

  421. His plan is to spread Okay. He wants Heaven on earth,

  422. so he shares. He says, Let's make man who will

  423. take care of earth, and I will give him my image.

  424. He will be like God on earth. He will be

  425. like me on earth. And only when he's like me.

  426. Only when he's like me, I'm gonna repeat it again,

  427. only when he's like me, like Jesus, he will be

  428. able to rule this earth like.

  429. Like Heaven.

  430. And what's what's the result was the point of all

  431. this to show his glory, to show his ways, to

  432. show his beauty, to show that it works. God's ways works. Everybody,

  433. you say, Okay, all right, now let's go into the

  434. bad news. The bad news is the potholes banyah the Malaysia. Okay,

  435. and sometimes in our lives. All right, the bad news

  436. here we go. Bad news number one, Satan. I want

  437. to remind all of us here that Satan is very real,

  438. very real. I also want to remind you that he's

  439. been in this business for a long time. Somebody is

  440. a long time, very long. And yet some of us,

  441. you know, think that you know, we've got a new strategy.

  442. I think he's seen it all alone, because most of

  443. the strategies repeat themselves on and sometimes we think we're

  444. very smart. We can beat this pornography by ourselves, we

  445. can beat this sin, this greet by ourselves.

  446. We're going to be okay.

  447. You think you're probably the only family like there's like this,

  448. and not realize that for the past six thousand years

  449. there's been families like yours, maybe a thousand times. And

  450. the devil has seen it over and over again, and

  451. he knows the buttons to press. He's very sly. Hey,

  452. hold on, ladies, and Devin. He was able to even

  453. deceive Adam. And if you think about it was the

  454. wisest man, so wise that he can name the animals.

  455. Remember that.

  456. Yeah, I know Past had not said it before, But

  457. hippopotamos is no.

  458. Easy word to find. You know, I can't even spell it.

  459. How many of you can try?

  460. Come on, Albert, you can do it, hi hee put

  461. the time was okay, all right, right, he's a really

  462. let me go. Yeah, I know, Rachelle can. She is

  463. easy for hippopotamos. Really, the way Rachelle says, really, Past,

  464. I know I took take away the mic immediately. She

  465. might not be my friend after that. Oh you know,

  466. this big animal comes across naked Adam. Probably the animal

  467. is as surprised as Adam was. And Adam says, and

  468. you shall be called hippo potamos. Giraffe comes and your

  469. name is g Ralph with double F.

  470. You know it's crazy, you know.

  471. And you will be called centiped and next to you,

  472. don't bluff. I know you're a different millipit, you know

  473. what I say. And you shall be called rabbit maybe

  474. bunny sometimes, but you shall be different than the hair,

  475. you know what I say. And yet Satan took both

  476. of them down. So I have come to place by

  477. a Let's not be too smart for ourselves. Let's not

  478. be thinking that we can we got this.

  479. We ain't got this without Jesus.

  480. I'm telling you right now, we ain't got this without Jesus,

  481. because only he defeated Satan. But there is is oh

  482. being that God created called Lucifer, glorious, beautiful chief or musician.

  483. You know the idea.

  484. I heard something I don't want to tell you, but

  485. I think i'll tell you anyway, Ela, because there was

  486. a worship conference and one guy said, can I say something?

  487. And I think some of you might throw stones at

  488. me when I say it, but some of our Christian

  489. songs could have been written by Satan, no scripture, no Jesus.

  490. And are you surprised that the chief of musician can

  491. write a good song? And then he said, you know,

  492. sometimes I think we turned to Satan and say, get

  493. you behind me before I sing one of those worship

  494. songs that it's very popular in church today, and Satan says,

  495. go ahead.

  496. I wrote that anyway. In fact, that's my favorite. I

  497. like the beat.

  498. Guess everybody going gets the flesh moving, but the spirit

  499. has no nothing.

  500. And so I watched it.

  501. I got like I told my wife, L said, my wife, Oh,

  502. you really are so harsher, I said, a lie, he's

  503. just sharing that. You know, he was convicted one day.

  504. That don't you think that Satan's writing many Christian songs

  505. also no power, just feeling and that a lot of

  506. young people that only like feelings these days.

  507. So he's going to get a generation.

  508. He's going to get a generation those days that when

  509. we sang, you know, we're sang scriptures, right, We're sang

  510. songs that you know, the focus was on the lot. Now,

  511. I know it's a painful thing to hear, and but

  512. someone's got to hear with the with the heart that's opened.

  513. Is this really true?

  514. Yeah? It could be because sometimes I just have a good,

  515. feel good worship thirty minutes. But my spirit was not enriched,

  516. my mind was not renewed, my life was not transformed.

  517. Hmmm. So second bad news is sin sin.

  518. So it's not just Satan is sin if you didn't

  519. realize it by now, I've put all these words in

  520. s So God wants to spread his kingdom, he wants

  521. to share his image, he wants to show his glory,

  522. he wants to use us. But then comes a porthole

  523. because Satan came tempted Eve and Adam. And then there's

  524. also sin. Satan is outside, Sin is inside, Satan is outside,

  525. Sin is inside. Sin is a desire, James one fourteen

  526. to fifteen says, but each one is tempted when he's

  527. drawn away by his own desires. It always starts with desire.

  528. Pornography starts with the desire. Gluttony starts with the desire.

  529. But the desire itself is not wrong. Is when you

  530. act on that desire, the Bible says, it becomes sin.

  531. Are you with me very clear? In the world now,

  532. the tempter is the devil. So the devil's job from

  533. the outside is always to tempt you. However, you know,

  534. when you passa when you're twenty one days, you turner,

  535. that's when all the quake comes out.

  536. I don't know why. But that's when you pass by

  537. your favorite restaurants. I don't know why. That's when your

  538. friend starts ordering your favorite dish. I don't know why.

  539. That's when they produce a new drink in Starbucks.

  540. Okay, that you know is your is your favorite fruit.

  541. I don't know why.

  542. You know, but the devil is constantly at work. But

  543. he can only tempt. He cannot be your desire. Your

  544. desire might deca comes from within to smack someone across

  545. the face because you're angry.

  546. It is from within.

  547. But because of Jesus, you have self control, because of

  548. the Holy Spirit. That's one of the fruit of the spirit.

  549. Amen a desire. You're enticed. Then when desire has conceived,

  550. so you can you gotta give birth to the desire. Yeah,

  551. you got pornography on your mind, but you don't have

  552. to watch it. But then you go into your Internet

  553. and then you know you're struggling or what will God say?

  554. Will the Holy Spirit be comfortable watching pornography with me?

  555. Where are you struggle? You know? And you turn on

  556. you know, then you start finding not x A cts,

  557. but you know the letter X you know. And I'm

  558. not teaching you how to watch pography, but you know.

  559. And so you you begin to time and you go, oh,

  560. you you know, you pray this prayer, this famous prayer. Satan,

  561. get behind me and push me in, push me in.

  562. I don't want to push me. It's not I who

  563. want to, but push me, give me that nudge. Satan,

  564. get behind me and push me in. No, you don't

  565. want to prayer, say their prayer, all right? So sin inside.

  566. It's getting quieter and quieter. X got the communey. I

  567. don't know why.

  568. Yeah, I will. I will go, even though you don't follow,

  569. I will go. Don't none go with me? Still I

  570. will fall o Romans five Child, Romans five Job.

  571. Therefore, just as through one man that's Adam, sin entered

  572. the world and death, Oh my God, through sin, and

  573. thus death spread to all men because all sin Romans tree,

  574. twenty three, all have sinned and fallen short of the

  575. glory of God Romans six, twenty three. For the wages

  576. of sin is death, but the gift of God is

  577. eternal life through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Death is the

  578. penalty all of us. And sometimes it's not physical death,

  579. it's spiritual death. Because we live in sin, there's a

  580. lot of guilt, and we don't want to come to

  581. homes now. We don't go to church now because that's guilt.

  582. The enemy has caught us in a place, you know,

  583. in a snare, in a trap. But sin is real.

  584. Satan is real. Sin is real. And third slide for porthole,

  585. the bad news is and we were all separated from God.

  586. All of us were separated from God. And that's why

  587. we need to be given the ministry of reconciliation, all

  588. of us. When we have Jesus, we are reconcil to

  589. the Father. Through Jesus. Come on, we are reconcil and

  590. we are given the ministry of reconciliation. Okay, there is

  591. a separation. One of the worst punishment for Jesus on

  592. the cross, ladies and gentlemen, was not the nails on

  593. his hands and on his feet, but that he had

  594. to say, Eli lamas abakdani, My God, my God, why

  595. have you forsaken me? And for all his life, the son,

  596. the Father, and the Spirit has never been separated.

  597. They are one.

  598. Everybody's still with me. But because of our sin, God

  599. has to tell his face away. When Jesus died on

  600. the cross, he turned his face away because God cannot

  601. stand sin. He doesn't like sin, he doesn't want sin,

  602. he hates sin. So when the sin came on his son,

  603. our sin on his son, his son became a perfect sacrifice.

  604. But God had to turn away, and that time, for

  605. all of eternity never separated for a second, and after

  606. the cross, never separated again.

  607. The Son is seated at the right hand of the

  608. Father today. Amen.

  609. But for that one moment, that's why the earth became dark,

  610. so dark, because the greatest sorrow of all the earth

  611. and the heavens happened there when God forsook his son.

  612. Eli Lama, why have you forsaken me?

  613. And so the bad news is that we were separated

  614. from God because separators from God.

  615. But the good news is and we're getting through it.

  616. Jesus took that sin and he paid the price of

  617. separation so that he can recconcilates back to God.

  618. Okay, let's now look at the patch up.

  619. Somebody came, all right, and he's not MPSJ is not MBKL. Okay,

  620. it's not bandar ayas Jesus. So let's start with the

  621. first s. This is the good news. The Savior came.

  622. His name is Jesus. He is the Savior of the world.

  623. Ladies and gentlemen, some of you thinker that when you

  624. tell your friends about Savior, they don't understand.

  625. I tell you this.

  626. Please be confident that every human being on this earth

  627. has within their heart a desire for a savior. When

  628. I see people running to the Cinemasa to watch Superman.

  629. It's because within that Superman character is a savior, and

  630. everybody likes the care because of his saving qualities. If

  631. everybody fails, Superman cannot fail because he can see true walls.

  632. He got laser eyes. He can blow and what the

  633. waters the lake turn into ice so that he can

  634. come down and have you seen eye? He can come

  635. down and carry the lake. So there, and then there's

  636. fire going on somewhere, and he just released lake water

  637. with all the fish, not a care for the fish

  638. in the lake, you know, just pouring in the fish

  639. all died. But people are saying, so okay, all right,

  640. he can do all these things. The only thing that

  641. will cause him to be weak is kryptonite, all right.

  642. And the underwear weighing outside that one also, that one,

  643. to me, it was his weakest point. But not just

  644. on the way outside with a bell, I know, I

  645. never see people have to wait underway with the belt,

  646. all right, all right, then they becomes small and smaller.

  647. He went from uh, you know, shots, ah, from shorts

  648. to briefs, speedos against.

  649. And so all this.

  650. You know, Marvel comics come out and every one of

  651. them is you. You know one of the best saviors

  652. that ever came out is Matrix. Because Neil, Neil can

  653. never die. You shim, have you seen that bullet all?

  654. I would like that power. You speed me, your speed stated,

  655. go back to you. No, cannot die, cannot die. How

  656. can your savior die? And yet even there's a movie

  657. one of the one of the series Superman di No,

  658. Jesus died also for our sins, but it was raised

  659. to life because you can't kill the son of God, Jesus.

  660. There is a longing in every heart for a savior.

  661. People like those kinds of things because actually we need

  662. to be safe. We don't know, we need to be safe.

  663. And Jesus Christ is the savior of the world, the

  664. son of God, to save the world.

  665. Amen. Romans five seventy to nineteen. Let me look my time.

  666. Am I good for time? Or have to finish it?

  667. For if by the one man's offense, death reigned through

  668. the one Sometimes you're having too much fun now preaching

  669. the word, then the time goes. I also went over

  670. time in Passac Clarictu in church last Sunday, fifteen minutes

  671. and then thank God, they all came up to me,

  672. said we didn't feel it.

  673. I said, thank you for lying.

  674. Much more, those who receive abundance of grace and of

  675. the gifts of righteousness were raiding in life through the

  676. one Jesus Christ. For us, by one man's discorbeit many

  677. wire made sin us, so also by one man's obedience,

  678. many will be made righteous Romans five, ten to eleven.

  679. For if when we were enemies, we will reconciled to God.

  680. Oh there you go again, reconcile to God through the

  681. death of his son. Much more, having been reconciled, we

  682. shall be saved by his life. And not only that,

  683. but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

  684. through whom we have now received reconciliation. Salvation is the

  685. next slide. That's good news. That's good news. All of

  686. us are saved in Jesus. And then third slide, for

  687. this point of patch up is that we all made

  688. sons and daughters of the Lord. We have been restored.

  689. You see, I told you before and I'll tell you again.

  690. The ultimate goal is not salvation. The ultimate goal is

  691. to make you and me sons and daughters again. All right,

  692. Because sometimes people think that salvation is the ultimate goal

  693. they can get saved and thedn't go back home to

  694. be with the Lord.

  695. No, if that was ultimate, God will save you and

  696. take you home. Right, No, he saves you and leaves

  697. you behind to do your job for him. All right.

  698. Drawing to a close now, John one twelve no says

  699. that when we receive him, he gave us a right

  700. to become children of God. Romans eight fourteen says, as

  701. many as I led by the spirit of God, these

  702. are sons of God. John fourteen six says, I'm the Way,

  703. the truth and life. No one comes to the Father

  704. except through me. You know what I like about John

  705. fourteen six. Then you know, let's let's let's let's remember

  706. what John fourteen six says again that Jesus said, I

  707. am the Way, the Truth and the life. No one

  708. comes to heaven except through me. Does he say that, No,

  709. it doesn't. It does say it doesn't say no one

  710. comes to heaven. Jesus eyes was not I'm the way,

  711. the truth and life. I just want to get you

  712. back to heaven. Is I am the way the truth

  713. and life. No one comes to the Father means you

  714. are to come to the Father, not just to heaven

  715. as sons and daughters.

  716. He didn't even say no one comes to God. He

  717. said no one comes to the Father.

  718. His mind was to make you and I back again

  719. into sons and daughters for the Most High God, so

  720. that if there's any riches, any warlots in your life,

  721. you stand as a son and a daughter, and you

  722. you engage with this person because you are like a

  723. god on the earth representing him. Never be afraid of

  724. warlords and witches and any other demonic power, because you

  725. and I are not only save you and I are

  726. sons and daughters of the Most High God. All right,

  727. let's finish this the purpose, the plan, the pothole, the

  728. patch up, and the purpose the purposes that we are

  729. sent as sons to do what God has always wanted

  730. from the beginning. First of this last bit is sent.

  731. Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us

  732. to himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the

  733. ministry of reconciliation. Amen. And now then we are ambassadors

  734. for Christ, as though God were pleading through us. We

  735. implore you, on Christ's behalf, we reconciled to God. Second

  736. Corinthians five eighteen and twenty. The next light says Stewart,

  737. we're not just sent as sons, but we're sent as

  738. people that are supposed to Stewart. God's earth, Stuart, whatever

  739. God gives to us. Another word for the word Stewart

  740. is manager. Now, if you don't know your calling in

  741. this life, I want to tell you're calling now. All

  742. of you were called to be managers, all of us.

  743. That's why the Bible says Adam was put into the

  744. garden to tend and keep it, or to keep and

  745. tend it. What that means is he was put into

  746. the garden to manage it. Eybody, okay, let me give

  747. you a sentence. Now, whatever you manage will grow. Whatever

  748. you mismanage, you will lose. If you mismanage your marriage,

  749. you will lose your marriage. If you mismanage your money,

  750. you will lose your money. If you mismanage your children,

  751. you will lose your children. If you mismanage your company,

  752. you will lose your company. If you mismanage your health,

  753. you will lose your health. We are all called to

  754. be managers. If you manage it well, it will grow.

  755. Somebody say amen, we are all called to be managers.

  756. If you manage your faith, well, it will grow. If

  757. you mismanage your faith, you will be faithless. And finally,

  758. the last s is saturated. So wherever we go, the

  759. Lord wants us to fill the earth, fill your office,

  760. fill your house, feel your neighborhood, fill your school, feel

  761. your college. Wherever we go, the next light says, and

  762. whatever we do, show everyone around you what heaven looks like.

  763. Because you and I I am bastless.

  764. You and I are representingis representatives of Heaven, Heaven on earth.

  765. Show your family members what heaven looks like, not only

  766. to get them longing for heaven one day, but to

  767. get them living heaven on Earth today.

  768. Romans eight nineteen. I close.

  769. For the earnest expectation of the creation, eagerly waits for

  770. the revealing of the sons of God. Yeah, the earnest

  771. expectation of Malaysia eagerly waits for you Albert, for you Sonny,

  774. the revealing of x KK and anyone else who will

  775. call themselves sons and daughters of the Living God. When

  776. we enter a restaurant, The restaurant changes. When we enter

  777. the pharmacy. The pharmacy changes. When we enter the hospital.

  778. The hospital changes the whole of GOOTA community is waiting

  780. video games all day. And yet your neighbor is waiting

  781. for you to show up, and yet your family is

  782. waiting for you to be revealed. So, in the name

  783. of Jesus, everybody, stand to your feet. Hallelujah. I know

  784. I'm ending with a strong challenge. The reason why things

  785. haven't changed most of the time around us is because

  786. we haven't shown up. Because we haven't stood up, is

  787. because we haven't spoken up. And yet the world waits

  788. in earnest expectation for the revealing of the sons of

  789. men starting the Cantonese homes. It's because they are Cantony

  790. speaking people. It got the communing waiting earnestly.

  791. Where are you.

  792. I can't see you, I can't hear you, And so

  793. they are lost because Christians are so relaxed and so

  794. in themselves and to themselves and my own comfort and.

  795. My own family.

  796. And I want to do what I want to do

  797. and leave worship for Sunday, Monday to Saturday is mine

  802. Bake a cake for them. Do something for your neighbors.

  803. People are waiting for the sons and daughters of God

  804. to be revealed. Carry Island waits every month for us

  805. to come, and then the light shines in Carry Island. Rakshandarabada,

  806. horrible shut una. Your family is waiting for the revelation

  807. of you. When will you rise, When will you step up?

  816. shining your light in the darkness or raba kashanda. People

  817. are waiting for me to speak up. People are waiting.

  818. All the world is lost without people in this room

  819. standing up and showing up. Come on, show up people,

  820. so that God can show off. Show up people, so

  821. that God can show off. Show up exct the community,
