Are you ready to STRETCH | Jason Martin

You're listening to a message to go from acts church. We hope this message

will light up your day. The title is are you ready to stretch?

You see? Yeah, nobody is excited. We got to be honest.

If I ask you how many of y'all want to increase your capacity? How

many will put your hands up? It's a double aged sort. You know

the benefits of it, but are you willing to put in the world.

You know the benefits of it. You know it's going to be good.

If you are stretched, things are the end result will only be better to

turn to your neighbor and say, are you ready to be stretched? Everyone

is scared? Everyone is scared. Well I'm he said, yes, okay,

so correct. A lot of us are scared. You know we are

scared. But like it or not, if we do not do it,

we will miss out on what God has for us. Okay. So,

in line with this title, right, building capacity is a deliberate decision.

You cannot acceedentally grow in capacity. You know it is intentional. You have

to be intentional on it. You have to take certain measures to do so,

and then only you will grow Okay, and then right, it's easier

that Yeah, Okay, yeah, So building capacity is a deliberate decision that

we have to make. We know it's good. All of us want everybody

else to grow in capacity except ursula, you know, because you know it's

challenging. So how does this tie in? So next life? So remember

I give you a recap. I preached on the omnipresence of God presence of

God. The omnipresence of God is God's presence is everywhere. We have to

acknowledge and sometimes we say, God, we invite you into this place.

You'll be like, hey, hello, I'm already here. Are you here

not? You know, And that was the first part of my first sermon.

It was acknowledging God's omni presence. He is everywhere, all right.

But when we acknowledge God's omnipresence, we know about God. From knowing about

God, we then go into knowing God. When we know God, that

is when we experience the manifest presence of God. So the manifest presence of

God is when you are going through a tough time and you pray to God

like this how Jess was sharing a testimony. Jes experienced manifest presence of God.

You experience God you know God Israel. You don't know about God.

You know God Israel. And after you know that God is real and God

is speaking to you, that is when next. Remember I said about this

God's calling for us, because a lot of us want to skip knowing God,

knowing about God, and we just wanted to say, what's my calling?

What am I called to do? But until we know God, then

only God will speak to us about his calling for us. And remember I

shed there was four sees. The first is calling, the story of Gideon

calling God called Gideon. Gideon had to have courage, and remember I said,

the phrase was do it afraid, even if you're afraid, do it

anyway, okay. And then capacity Gideon's capacity increased and then he finally conquered.

So today I want to talk about capacity because from getting from our calling

to conquering our calling, there has to be an increase of capacity. You

cannot what God the Israelites out of Egypt, did not get the Israelites in

through the Promised Land. You know, you cannot rely on Yesterday's strength for

to morrow's battles because they say, right another level, another devil. You

know you you but there is a continuous growth. Okay, so it's about

capacity. So I ask you again, how many of y'all want to grow

in your capacity? Because if you do not grow in your capacity, you

might miss your calling. That's how serious it is. That's how serious it

is. And this word like that came to me. I mean, this

word has been the word capacity has. I mean, God spoke to me,

spoke to me about it in I think December December, and then I

was like, oh, I don't have the capacity anymore. I'm like,

I'm like flawed. I don't have then, uh telling just I think we

already at max capastila, you know, then we're supposed to meet pastic passes,

sendra and just talk to them and say that I think we have to

release some things, you know, because we are at max capacity. And

I know them they also be like, hey, sure, no problem,

because they'll be okay with they aren't, you know, because they everybody understands.

Everybody understands and in terms of that, and I knew that's what I

was feeling. So I was like, Okay, I'm feeling good. I'll

go and tell them and then probably try and release some things. And yeah,

But as I was driving one day, then God spoke to me.

And God spoke to me and say that if you are at your max capacity,

why don't you ask me to increase it? I'm like, uh,

like, do I want to ask you to increase it? That's a question,

you know, And there was a question, and that is something that

and that is where this message has been birth prop So I'm telling you right,

all the messages are my personal devotion, like what I've been sharing in

terms of it. So when I talk about that is capacity. So I

said, okay, God, I don't know how, but okay, I

will ask you for it. Even to ask God to increase my capacity.

I was scared ready because if I asked God to increase my capacity, you

know what will happened? You will you know how you will or what happens?

What happens when you have to increase your capacity? What happens in this

place? So I got three points today, Okay, I put all the

three points here right, So when your capacity increases, right, for your

capacity to increase, for your capacity to increase, your convictions has to change.

Your convictions has to change. You have to pay the cost and then

you have to understand what is the cause for the increase of capacity. Right,

So these are the three points. So let me take you to the

first I'm just checking for time, yeah, um, yes, let me

take you to the first point. Okay, So first point is conviction.

So why is it very tough for us to increase our capacity? Again?

Go back to the Americans in nineteen sixty one when President Kennedy told them that

we want to put a man on the moon and bring him back safely.

What were the convictions of Americans? They said it cannot be done. That's

why fifty eight percent of the people said they cannot be done. So when

when we are when we are challenged in our capacity, right, we are

dealing with our current state, at our current state, at my current capacity,

at my current finances, at my current talent, at the current time

that I have, it is not possible. But again, God's calling requires

God's dependence. God will not give you a calling which allows you to do

it on your own strength. When God gives you a calling, he will

want you to depend on you more. And when you have to depend on

him more, it means whatever you have believed all your experiences is not going

to be enough. And that's how you move to achieve your next calling.

So let me take you to some scripture. Okay, next line. So

this is the story of Joshua and Caleb. Y'all know, right, So

from number thirteen. But Caleb tried to quiet the people as they stood before

Moses. Let's go at once to take the land. He said, we

can certainly conquer it. But the other man, who had explored the land

with him, disagreed. We can't go up against them. They are stronger

than we are. So they spread this bad report about the land among the

Israelites. The land we traveled through and explore, Lord will devour anyone who

goes to live there. All the people we saw were huge. We even

saw giants there, the descendants of Anna. Next to them. We felt

like grasshoppers. And that's what they taught too. Okay, how they thought,

how they knew what they were thinking. I have no idea, but

that's what they thought too. Okay. Next NIGHTE and the two men who

explored the land, Joshua's son of Nun and Caleb, son of jefful Nan,

thought their clothing. They said, to all the people of Israel,

the land we have traveled through and explored is a wonderful land. And if

the Lord is pleased with us, he will bring us safely into that land

and give it to us. It is rich land flowing with milk and honey.

Do not rebel against the Lord, and don't be afraid of the people

of the land. They are only helpless. Pray to us. They have

no protection, but the Lord is with us. Don't be afraid of them.

So this was as good as space to the Israelites. You know,

God told them to go and conquer twelve people. When ten people saw one

thing and two saw another thing, they were looking at the same thing.

What were the convictions? So the convictions of the ten was at our current

strength, At our current capacity, I am not able to execute God's calling

and I with my current strength, and therefore let's not do it for God.

That God is the one that brought them out of Egypt, you know,

right, they experienced the ten plagues, they went through the raid sea,

and then when they saw this at the current capacity, they said,

I don't think we can. And these were giants, you know. Just

to give you all a bit of trivia, right, the sons of Anna.

So Goliath was a son of Anna. So giants were ill, but

Joshua and Caleb saw the same. So our convictions when our capacity is stretched,

what are we seeing? What are we seeing? Are we seeing the

giants or what are we seeing through the giants? Is God bigger than then?

Because this is what Joshua and Caleb said, If the Lord is pleased

with us, he will bring us safely into that land. They saw a

land of milk and honey. They saw the goodness of the land. God

had a calling for them to go into Canaan, and they say, God,

if you called us, let's go. They did not see what they

didn't have, because for them God and Me is enough. But when our

capacity is stretched, why we are scared for our capacity to be stretched,

It is because we keep on thinking it's gonna it's us. It's we have

to depend on our own strength. So what did Joshua and Caleb see?

Right, What you see determines your convictions. What you hear also determines your

convictions because if I go there, next line, okay, back one's life

sorry back back yeah yeah here, So actually right, Joshua and Caleb,

although they told the Israelis to go forward, the whole of Israel listened to

the ten men, so again what they heard determine their convictions, so they

listen to the wrong person. When God gives us a calling, who are

we listening to Are only listening to men who will tell us why it cannot

be done? Or are we listening to God who has given us the calling?

Because if we are listening to men, man is not the one that

gave us the calling. God is the one that gave us the calling.

And when God gives us the calling, he will give us the capacity to

go through. But first we need to be convinced, and that's why our

convictions. So who do you see God as you know? Who do you

see God as? Is God? Optional? That's why just now, when

during prayer time, right when we sang that song, I said, it's

a declaration. I believe in God the Father, I believe in Christ the

Son. I believe in the name of Jesus. What is your conviction of

Jesus? Do you believe he is Lord of all? If he is not

lord of all, he's not lord at all. So that's why when God

gives us the calling, you have the courage. And then before our capacity

is stretched, we have to check our convictions. What is our conviction?

Okay, what do you fear? What do you fear? What is your

limiting belief? What is your limiting belief? You know? Ah, so

I think I, ah, I may or may not have shell here before.

I mean, how I took up this CPC role. Right, y'all

may have heard it so many times. So when when this role came up

right in terms of yeah, was made available and then uh past the Kenneth

approached me and say that, ah, I believe that God wants you to

take on this role. And I can tell you right honestly, at that

time, I was like, for what why do I want to take this?

You know? And I tell you I'm so embarrassed to say this now,

but I even say this for what I take this role. I'm not

going to get paid more. I'm not going to you know. When I

look back, I'm thinking, like, how could I say these kinds of

things, you know, because I didn't recognize it's a calling. And then

right, one of the main things I didn't want to take up this role

is because even at that time, we had challenges with your room. And

when I don't pass the Kenneth, I said that, Hey, it's going

to be tough, you know, just have to manage the Roman and all

this again, he will understand if I bring all my reasoning to men,

everyone will understand. Okay, everyone will understand. He will understand. But

then somehow I felt convicted to like, Okay, I will just take it

on. You know, I will take it on. But I gave a

time boxler, I gave a time box. I will take it on for

this period of time. Okay, lo and behold. Two years ago seems

like a walk in a park when it comes to Jerome. I'm telling you

there is no joke. And then now I'm doing this, I'm like,

how, so what were my convictions? My convictions changed because previously I just

said, hey, and my current strength and my current ability, I cannot

do it. But right now I'll be like, God, whatever you tell

me to do, I will do it. I don't know how. I

don't know how you're going to provide. I don't know how. So I

tell you something funnier. So, yeah, two weeks ago, I got

called into Jerom's principal's office of an inclusive school. So you would think they

would have seen it all right, So I get called into the office,

he can still tell me, Oh, it's so good that you can still

smile. I was like, it's okay, I'm okay, you know,

I'm okay. I just think, come what me? Come what me?

Because I'm no longer depending on my own strength. It's no longer about what

I can do. I have gone past that so much. Right now,

my convictions is what am I seeing? What am I hearing? And then

if my convictions are correct, I know and my convictions are in God.

I know in God I can do all things right. So that is convictions.

And what happened right? I think, if I am very honest,

my capacity stretched like crazy in the past six months plus plus more modern ella

right since since taking on this role. So what happened next? It's like,

yeah, no, back when Yes Romans twelve, verse two. So,

dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to

God because of all He has done for you. Let them be a living

and holy sacrifice, the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the

way to worship him. Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world.

Don't just depend on human reasoning. Everyone will understand. Everyone will understand.

No one will blame you if you say no. But the scripture says,

don't copy the behavior and customs of this world. But let God transform you

into a new person by changing the way you think your convictions has to change.

You want your capacity to grow. The first thing that has to change

is your convictions be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will

learn to know God's will for you. Then you will then you know God's

will for you, So whatever external things that happen will not change your convictions.

That's why it's like, come what me, Come what me? You

know, but I know God's will for me is good and God I do

not know. Like yesterday, on you in the car, right as we

are driving back there, I was telling you, I all honestly, I

have no idea how we're going to get through this. But tomorrow I'm preaching

about capacity. This is how real it is, guys. I'm telling you

it is real. It's real. I'm not like, I'm not preaching something

that I think. I'm going through it every day. But I have to

tell myself that, hey, I have to believe that God's will is good.

God will come true. I believe there's a light at the end of

the tunnel, but I hope the tunnel is short. Okay, But but

I believe there will be a light at the end of the tunnel. And

I believe that God is control. So with that convictions. That's why the

joy of the Lord is my strength. So if people ask how still laugh,

still smile, I'm like, it's okay, here, I I what

do you only do? Crier? It's not going to help, it's not

going to do anything. You know, I might as well move forward because

I believe that God is doing a new He's stretching my capacity right next line,

Strong convictions proceed great actions. That's why I say increase of capacity is

a decision that needs to be made, and you can only do great things

after you have your convictions made. You align your convictions with what God wants

you to do. The thing about this is by one of the famous theologians

in I think the early nineteenth century. Strong convictions precede great actions. All

of us want great actions, but how many of us want to increase capacity?

To conquer? You have to increase capacity like it around. There is

no shortcut, There is no shortcut, which leads me to my second point

next line. So the second next light is actually cost. This is what

stops us from expanding our capacity. This is the thing that stops us from

going from our calling to conquering it, the cost. Okay, so let

me bring us through some scripture. Joseph, a young man of seventeen,

was tending the flocks with his brothers, the son of Belha and the sons

of Zelpah, his father's wives, and he brought their father a bad report

about them. Okay, so Joseph, this guy like, not this Joseph.

Okay, he's like I think it's like nobody likes him one lot.

You know, he hang out with this fella. We're gonna tell tale,

tell bad things, you know, bad report. He's probably the favorite.

Yeah, he was the favorite son, you know. So he knows everybody

likes him, and he wants to pull everyone down. And this was him.

Okay, and then skip the words eight. His brother said to him,

do you intend to reign over us? Will you actually rule us?

And they hated him all the more because of his dream and what he had

said. So he told them the first dream I truncated. Ay, they

told you. In the first dream, he hate they hated him. He

still didn't get the cue. He gonn tell them a second dream. You

know, this guy must be like full of himself. It's full of himself.

Then he had another dream, and he told you to his brother.

He said, I had another dream, and this time the sun and the

moon and eleven stars were bowing down to me. This was Joseph. Joseph

received his calling. The dreams were his calling. Think about it. So

God gave him his calling when he was seventeen. But what happened next line?

So this one is the endler, you know. But before we go

into that, right is you know that Joseph was nearly killed. He was

thrown into a pit, who was sold to a Portifa and then was in

Portiva's home. After Portipha's home, he was thrown into prison and then finally

in the palace. But what happened you look right? This was in Potiphas's

house. The Lord was with Joseph. God gave Joseph a calling. Just

remember this, God gave Joseph a calling. Joseph had to be courageous.

Remember the false Caesar that I me I mentioned just now. The Lord was

with Joseph. He was a successful man, and he was in the house

of his master, the Egyptian, and his master saw that the Lord was

with him, and the Lord made all he did to prosper in his hand.

So Joseph found favor in his sight and served him. And then he

made him overseer of his house and all that he had put under his authority.

So it was from that time that he had made him overseer of his

house, and that all that he had that the Lord blessed the Egyptian's house

for Joseph's, and the blessing of the Lord was all all that he had

in the house and in the field. Then he left all that he had

in Joseph's hand, and he did not know what he had except for the

breid that w he ate. This is a that means right, I don't

know anything except the braid that I'm holding. I don't know whether it is

an exaggeration or not, but that is the level of trust that Portifa had

in David and that in Joseph, sorry in Joseph, and Joseph had to

earn it. How did he have to earn it? He had to do

his best. He had to be courageous and to live out as how God

intended him to live, although he was a slave. And then right,

if you look at it, one highlighted, right, the blessing of the

Lord was on all that he had in the house and in the field.

When you read this verse, right, he was already learning management at this

stage, both in the house and in the field. How did he get

the skills to prepare for the famine? You know, you think about it.

His excellence in terms of management, his excellence in terms of agriculture,

everything was when he again his capacity was being stretched. But his conviction is

that I am going to serve God with all my heart, no matter what.

Right. And then next line, so this was after Potiphar's wife.

Then jose his master, took him and put him into prison, a place

where the king's prisoners were confined. You see, it's not any prison.

The placement of Joseph in the king's prison is also God's hand. Can you

see? But again, in that moment, you'll be like, what on

earth is happening? All you have to hold on is the calling. All

Joseph had to hold on is the calling. I have no idea how this

is going to turn out. I don't know. I cannot see the end

of the tunnel, you know, like what it's not yet. All I

have to hold on is the calling. And because a calling, I will

pay the price I will cost. I will do whatever it takes, because

that is my conviction. If his conviction was not correct, he would not

have paid the cost. And because of that, the Lord was with Joseph

and showed him mercy. He gave him favor in the sight of the keeper

of the prison. How do you get favor in the prison? I have

no idea. I watched many TV shows. Most of the time it's like

prison break line. You want to get out. You know, there is

no show that like you a model prisoner, and you know, and then

suddenly you become that, like the number one there, you know. And

the keeper of the prison committed Joseph's hand. All the prisoners who were in

prison, whatever they did, that it was his doing. The keeper of

the prison did not look into anything that was under Joseph's authority. Right now,

his management skills has expanded to manage those who were unmass magible. Think

about it. You can manage those who are unmanageable that's what lended them in

prison. If you want to go to any management schooler, I think this

is it. And he did it so well that the prison wasn't didn't look

at anything that Joseph was over okay, And whatever he did, the Lord

made it prosper. Was he out of the prison yet? No. So

when you have your calling and you are paying the cost, God will still

allow you to prosper in the prison. God is still with us. God

is still with us. God will not leave you nor forsake you. Right,

he is still with us. Next night, and this is after Joseph

revealed the dream to Pharaoh, and Pharaoh said to his servants, can we

find such a one as this, a man in whom is the spirit of

God? Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, inasmuch as God has shown you all

this, there is no one as discerning and as wise as you. You

shall be over my house, and all my people shall be ruled according to

your word. Only in regard to the throne will I be greater than you.

And Pharaoh said to Joseph, see, I have set you all over

the land of Egypt. Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh,

King of Egypt. So there are few things I want to bring us

to hearing. In every role that Joseph was given, he was always the

second man, and God increased his capacity from Portifar to prison and then the

palace. People think it's like Joseph was an overnight success. He was not

an overnight success. It took Joseph thirteen years to get here, and each

step of the way God increased his capacity because he was willing to pay the

price. The price was to live according to God's convictions, no matter what

that was what it was. And you see, right earlier I said Joseph

was seventeen years old, nobody liked him. Can you see how Joseph's capacity

has changed from somebody who is a tell tale, someone who is full of

right, to someone who is leading the biggest nation in the world at that

time. That capacity increase can only come if we are willing to listen to

God's calling, step forth in courage and then allow God to expand our capacity.

But it's going to cost us. So again I will ask you this

question, are you willing to increase your capacity? Because if we are not,

we will miss out on the calling. You know, so think about

it. So this is and uh, I want to give another short analogy,

right, so last back one's life. Yeah, so last Tuesday I

went to the gym. So I wanted to become stronger because all my friends

are all like faster than me already. So I'm like, Jasula, cannot,

I must work up. So I went and check this YouTube video.

One fitness influencer like late day workout. So when the followed in the gym,

wag this thing. The next four or five days, I was like

limping. I was like, because what happens when you work out, it's

called, uh, you will go through this syndrome called DOMS syndrome. So

DOMS is actually give you a bit, right. Is this thing called delayed

on set uh something muscle? Okay, I forgot the exact acronym la,

but essentially what happened, it's it's a delayed pain because the muscles have I

have sort of had micro test and the body needs to inflame that area to

heal it. And when when the body inflames the area, it only comes

later. Right, So on the day itself, I'm okay, But the

next couple of days, right, I'll be feeling like oh man, I

cannot walk? Can I walk upstairs? Can I walk downstairs? Any of

you'all experienced that before? You never played Badmint a long time? You can

suddenly go on player next day. Right? I cannot lift up my hands,

you know? But what is that? Why do we experience that?

Because in order for our muscle capacity to grow, we have to pay the

cost. We have to pay the price. It's gonna hurt us, but

we are okay with it in the natural. Nobody is like God, why

is my muscles in pain? I'm like, dude, it's expected. It's

expect that, which is the next line. That's why no pain, no

gain? You know pain? You know gain. If we are not willing

to pay the price, how are we going to expand our capacity? You

know? In terms of that, that's why be willing to pay the price.

It's gonna stretches, it is, but it is worthy, right,

it is worthy. If I ask you, if I look back right the

two years taking it on, I say, when it's crazy. But if

would I have taken it on if I knew this was the end result,

I would say no, you know, because I know the struggles. But

sometimes God doesn't reveal everything to us. We just have the step forth in

faith, live in the conviction that God is in control, and take one

step at the time, and pay the cost at every single point. Because

God is a good god, He knows how much we can handle. He

knows, and he grows our capacity slowly at the rate that he wants us

to grow. All right, So that is the second point. So conviction

costs. And cause I thought this would be a short message, but it's

like taking a bit longer, okay, So cause, let me go straight

into the scripture. When Jesus looked up and he saw a great crowd coming

towards him, he said to Philip, where shall we buy bread for these

people to eat? He asked this only to test him, for he had

already had in mind what he was going to do. But answered him it

would take more than a half year's wages to buy enough bread for each one

to have a bite. And another of his disciples, Andrew Simon, Peters's

brother, spoke up, here is a boy with five small barley loaves and

two small fish. But how far will they will they go? Among so

many? Okay, let's stop here first. So this is the scripture on

the five loaves and two fish, feeding of the five thousand. Okay,

so what they had to feed five thousand, they only got five loaves two

fish enough capacity? No, right, And that's what a lot of us

think. That's why Philip was looking at what he had and said that most

of the time, we will look at what we have and say that,

hey, it's impossible. It is not possible. Because I'm looking at what

I have, and I look at the amount that I have to grow,

I can't do it. Okay. But Peter said that, okay, there

is a boy with five small barley loaves and two small fish. But how

far will they go among so many? Okay? So they basically gave Jesus

everything they had. It's not much, but I give you everything I have.

Next line, Jesus said, half the people sit down. There was

plenty of grass in that place, and they sat down. About five thousand

men were there. Jesus then took the loaves, gave tanks, and distributed

to those who were seated as much as they wanted. He did the same

with the fish. When they had all had enough to eat, he said

to his disciples, gathered the pieces that are left over. Let nothing be

wasted. So they gathered them and filled twelve baskets with the pieces of the

five barley loaves left over by those who had eaten. Right, So think

about it this way, right, who did Jesus do the miracle for?

Was it the five thousand or the disciples? You see, Jesus actually did

that the miracle for the disciples. The disciples gave Jesus everything that they had,

which they stole from a boiler, probably five loads two fish. Okay,

but that's everything that they have, and they surrendered it to Jesus.

And what did Jesus do. Jesus increased their capacity and gave them more than

enough. You can eat and have more enough. And sometimes, right,

why we do not want to increase our capacity? It is because right if

they the five loaves and two fish. Right, Actually, the boy,

if if I with the boy, I'll be like, I don't think I

will give it last because I'll be like it with so little I cannot feed

everybody. I might as well just eat la. You know, it's not

going to do It's a drop in the ocean. It's not going to do

anything. But the boy had that much because he had an eye for the

cause, The cause was greater than him. The cause was to feed the

five thousand and when we realized, when we recognized the cause for God to

increase our capacity, it is not for ourselves. It is to be a

blessing to others. But when he was a blessing to others, he was

blessed above and beyond what he could ask or imagine. Can you see that?

So even as I just I didn't even look at my slights here now

when you're flipping it here, okay, So even as I talk to us,

are close right, I wanted us to watch a video. Okay,

So just remember the three points, the three points when you increase a capacity,

you have to what what are the points you remember? What are your

convictions? Are you willing to pay the price the cost? And what is

the cost? Okay? So I hope this video can and sort of help

summarize that. Okay, So let's fix our eyes on the screen. So,

need you. God's gifted you with the ability of leadership. Don't waste it,

Kurt, Can I count on you? Yes? Okay? What is

it Jeremy? How are one? Says toy? All right? All right?

So inspite of not by the video, So the thing is, he

started off with the wrong convictions. He was defeated even before he started.

But what did they do? Close your eyes? What is he looking at?

Who did he listen to? And then he was willing to pay the

price, the cost? And then when he did that, he when he

finally did it right, the cause was that he was leading his team.

It is a cause bigger than himself. And like what the video say,

right, God has given you a god given talent. Are we doing everything

that he wants us to do? Are we willing to pay the price?

Do we believe in the convictions? And do we know who we are doing

it for? So even as I get the band up, I have I

think one last light when there show? So I put it into a equation.

Increased capacity happens when we surrender and we serve with passion and compassion.

So if we want our capacity to increase, this is what we need God.

We need to surrender our lives to God, serve him and do it

with compassion and passion, and that it was how Joseph lived his life,

that was how Joshua and Caleb lived their life, that was how the disciples

lived their life after Jesus went back to heaven, and that's how God increased

their capacity. So this morning, Church, God has given us talents.

God has given each and every one of us a calling. Are we willing

to have our capacity increased? Amen? We hope you've been blessed by this

message. For more information on our church, please visit as church Org.

going to be a good week. I hit for you. God bless
