Raise your expectation | Pr Janaronson Nagarajah

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

will light up your day. So if you have your Bible turned to the

Book of Mark, chapter six, your instence, you know what Marca for

Delutang, We're gonna read from verses one to six. So it was one

he says. Then he, meaning Jesus, went out from there and came

to his own country, and his disciples followed him. And when the Zabah

had come, he began to teach in the synagogue, And many hearing him

were astonished, saying, where did this man get these things? And what

wisdom is this which is given to him? That such mighty works are performed

by his hands? Is this not the carpenter, the son of Mary,

and the brother of James, Jose's Judas and Simon, are not his sisters

here with us? So they were offended at him. But Jesus said to

them, a prophet, it's not without honor except in his own country,

among his own relatives, and in his own house. Now he could do

no mighty work there, except that he laid his hands on a few sick

people and helped them. And he marveled because of their unbelief. Then he

went about the villagers in a circuit, teaching yesuly kally light children, So

children tasso and the inner the yaka ye see yuta, tamai tamanu and chitah.

Yes, so I find census ulaan teaching supannchatsu I may your parents put

using someone in and hamon taman pushing Juan so wait children chila. So prior

to this we know in the chapters before this, Jesus had already started his

ministry. I think one of yes eating. Everywhere he goes, he teaches,

he preached, and he healed the sick in especially in chapter five where

there was a story that the demon possessed man was healed since nat page back

with food rental pay eat. He healed Jyrus's daughter, and he healed the

lady with the issue of blood for twelve years. That she is another yoshi

lord and the pink. So everywhere Jesus ware there was a notable miracle.

So Nannie how years. But when he went back to his home country,

his own country or his hometown because the years the jazz so hole, the

Bible says that he couldn't do a lot. It was five he says,

now he could do no mighty work there years Nani put using someone in and

it's incredible. Everywhere Jesus went, mighty works were done. But when he

goes to his own home country, he could do nothing much. Okayona to

her daughter in so Bible say is in verse six he marveled because of their

unbelief. So you should have you tee it hamn't bussing. So in other

words, it is unbelieved that will stop our breakthrough. So not telling why

are you push something that Jesus things a round woman? It is unbelieve that

will cause people not to experience miracles. When you're pososing not your things around

run and God, you can't in us and Jesus. God is willing to

speak to us. God is willing to grant us our breakthrough. God is

ready to give us an answer Oman. But often it is our unbelief that

will stop us from receiving cant saying omen to pos something you paid huno.

So if there's no expectation from Jesus, it also means there's no dependence on

Jesus. And if there's no dependence on Jesus, there's no breakthrough Jesus,

why do you also two years to mirror the cheap type the two pruning and

asked you ecution because Jesus often will move according to our expectation and believed in

him. Ye in and who you woman? You're sounding tomorrow cheapans. So

when you read the gospel Matthew Mark John, you realize that there will only

be two situations that causes Jesus to marvel tiny to sud searching surrounding the easy.

So that's the word marvel basically means wonder, to be amazed, a

sense of astonishment or surprise. So yeah, yeah, it's only two situations

that will cause Jesus to be filled with amazement. The years should who are

you? Yeah? Theiga singing first is when people demonstrated faith. You know,

just so down run and God like she ran needs to cut out Hammond.

It deepens on the sing thing. You'll be surprised. Wow, that's

faith. How do you set out? How do you think? Yeah?

So what this is a singing? Second will be when people refused to believe

just Ti down run Harmond's shiner sing sing So you know that when people responded

in faith, miracles happened. But when people responded in unbelief, nothing happened

down runners, the pincing thing that you were insern Sohona like you'y fast and

down run like you were inciced to put something that you were in the Sohona

mirring way. Fasten Luke chapter seven, lujah t she done? Is there

account that Jesus healed the centurion servant? So you see it is a bite

down. The centurion basically is a Roman army commander jupi foot time not ego,

it's too Linderan. So yeah, it's quite high ranking. Face.

So when you heard about the miracles of Jesus and that one of his servant

is dying, he sent the news to ask Jesus to heal. Haven't think

yes? You think so? Who in the street says? So? When

he heard about Jesus, he sent eldest of the Jews to him, pleading

with him to come and heal his servant. This phone one years to into

to pie you down loud years like j And when they came to Jesus they

backed him earnestly, saying that the one for whom he should do this was

deserving. Tam Tamazuoni gay woman's interest task or pay. That is for this

centurion, Uh, he was a good man. He helped the Jews a

lot. You tyron her door, because in verse five it says, for

he loves our nation and has built us a synagogue eye woman by singhy woman.

Then Jesus went with them, and when he was already not far from

the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying to him, Lord,

do not trouble yourself, for I am not worthy that you should enter

under my roof in way that was Therefore, I did not even think myself

worthy to come to you. But say the word, and my servant will

be healed. It's so, it's you are the puran you be how for

I also am a man placed under authority, having soldiers under me, and

I say to one go and he goes, and to another come and he

comes, and to my servant do this, and he does it in waytlight?

How do you lie to you what the poor? So obviously this centurion

understood the meaning and the power of authority. Her her mention that how are

your negative champing? He acknowledged Jesus to be of a superior authority compared to

him. He understood that Jesus surpasses all diseases and sicknesses. So that's how

you're soping. He understood that for Jesus to heal, Jesus just needs to

declare the word Jesus in it. You ha What's nine. When Jesus heard

these things, he marveled at him and turn around and said to the crowd

that followed him, I say to you, I have not found such great

faith, not even in Israel, did you jo so? Yes, so

ting so how to see it? Soon? Singing Jesus instantly don't worry eating,

And those who were sent returning to the house found the servant well who

had been sick not well, I don't know, by food, and Charlie

content eating. How so we see a contrast there from Mark five and look

seven the web marvel. Essentially, it's the same meaning Matt, Michael take

human, can't take the put on the So the question I have first this

morning is how do we want to marvel Jesus gona one thing, not just

your she around yes to see. Do we want to marvel him with our

faith or do we want to marvel him with our unbelief in woman? The

sce she round see yeah. In in women put something and she round kanj

can soota woman, woman put something to marvel Jesus with our faith is about

raising up our expectations, even a rook women you're pin singing like she round

yeah either one years with the negative teap Han. When Jesus was ministering in

his hometown, years I had to see you fools as a whole. The

people didn't have a single expectation on him. Down to the gym, into

it years to Teapan, he couldn't do much has yet they say things like

what is this carpenter doing? No timon couldn't do so hamad ju. They

begin to say, is this not you know, the son of mary Man?

And it is not his brothers, and it is not his sisters.

So they see Jesus just as a carpenter. They see Jesus just as a

normal person years put on the run. If you're a Christian this morning,

you do too. I hope you don't see Jesus as just a good religious

teacher. To Cantiga, I hope you don't see him on power with other

prophets and other religious figures, because if you were to put Jesus equal to

whoever that tells me that you see him as just the same as you're gonna

by years by years, so cant talent. She could just says that he

is far superior compared to the rest years. How you is so yo.

He's the son of God earth, so he couldn't heal a lot of people

there? So it she'susing her daughter. Eat, how do we place our

trust in Jesus this morning? You know, sometimes we can weak out when

we become to church, when we do our small group. It's so easy

to go through the motions. It's all easy to go through the routine that

it blinds us from experiencing God at the very present moment. Maker since she

told, I think in South the sohonapins and eager thing Monilo minesng and you

think you think sos inside the After a while, we get jaded with such

routine that we fail to understand that every routine is an opportunity to experience God

and his glory. You know, I mean she thinks in sunatally, it's

like you thinks omen the thing so that so certain and go around. Jesus

was in his hometown. The people didn't move, yes, sole High maybe

they were expecting someone with the credential like Join the Baptist Tamana che pants and

your honey young the run. Maybe they were expecting someone like an Elijah to

come to their hometown to speak to them. Then only they will believe their

words rather than the words of Jesus. Tamana cononny, she thought, Hammon

the go, she thought, having the defoundermanning how you real servants of God

is important. You can't face how you view your small group when there isn't

even a large gathering. There is no big names coming to speak in your

small group. Not many people turn up in your small group matters a lot

signe. You can't us shadow Jesus doesn't turned out in the crowd of hundreds

of thousands, He will turn up even for that one in and years sooner

two cents, I eat tinger and it's sense and said, yes, so

you started a prayer group. No one is coming, but you are still

gung ho about it. You should turn up. Look eating leg. It's

always easy to turn out when the crowd is big. Woman yours a face

home wroongither that downt It takes more courage and faith to turn up when there's

no one coming woman the timely high women. And I speak this from experience.

You know what's the thing that you can even because I planted the prayer

group in my workplace, you go to the defunct cheat for three to four

years now we are still going strong. If I signed out soon, my

high I turned down down. So the two or three we will still pray

you, my High Sun. And what there is worship leader, no worship

leader, guitarists, no guitarists. We will still sing your melting by thailands

your my high souldron ankle's hand. Because the understanding is Jesus is there are

two years withinally Jesus is there, yes, woman, the town zone,

Jesus is there, Yesinally, So by the grace of God, we planted

a chapel in my marketplace. In chapels the glory. Yo. Every time

when you meet in a small group, every time when you want to do

something, understand that Jesus is There's gonna mean it's you don't have to call

big name, big personality to come in to pray with you. You push

she can don't have to call big people to come in to speak to you,

to bring the word to you. Yeah, push sounding so hot sound

if you have faith in that very hour to open your Bible and to read

the Bible, God will speak to you. And since does something to so

hot? I'm concerned, well on how we live in an age where people

are looking at only this person can speak to me just a woman or coligious

women, since you isn't going to sound it's your take and so hot when

the atmosphere, when the condition is right, only I can feel God's present

No time, I say, how that's tan to gons in the tone time,

when the musician sings in key, when the strumming of the guitar feels

right at the door, then I feel God's presence by Italian time, the

negga intail that's in the tone time. Let's keep the main thing, the

main thing. We focus on Jesus just so many omens years to the son,

because that helps us to understand that. And then only everything that we

do, it's all about expecting him to come and to minister ton Okay,

bound to womens, thou a woman so cheapan the whole years so like wait,

woman woman, Sorry, So now I was convicted big time by the

Holy Spirit. No no, what do you It's a personally yego unt the

No. One season. In Malaysia we have healing rallies all the time.

I say you, it's so many easy to put out, hunt is to

put out way. Then religions, churches, we will always ask people from

the west to come. Big names major said you mean, then say the

Muslim and likely easy advertised Evangeli and so fastest and and so and people rarely

people to come to hammenduationis insister and lie or hold on majory. Put on

your time is put out. There's nothing wrong with that. Turn to the

body of crimes. We function in different offices, and when we function in

the office, the office is supposed to bring a blessing to the people around

incense and put on the searching. There's something wrong in inviting a person from

another nation to come, and there's nothing wrong from being invited to speak in

that nation. You're gonna tell you who the h why it's a mile.

But often the church needs to be careful because because telling we rather go to

big stages, big rarely having a high form of expectation. But when we

go back to our local churches, the sense of excitement, the sense of

expectation that God will move diminish, almost like down. The dream doesn't see

singfant because the sinfant and Japan. So the Lord convicted me, So do

you the world. He's Lord of the thousands. No, suppose to one

rendiscent. Now he's also the lot of one hig eager rendercent. He moved

among the thousands in the downtown and go insing. He will also move among

the tents the downtown insane. I've seen healing among the thousands. No,

it's children. The downtown can eat it. I've also seen healing right now.

It's like when you're in church praying for people. They get healed.

So I tell her the downtong worries, okay, come down. Negative is

just a down woman. And she will and she thought us negrant to the

So it's about raising our expectations. So it's a government two years to the

time when you go to your small group. So it down says, she

don't need the cell to there's a whole You go back to your campus,

you go back to your workplace. She don't do the things of God,

she don't need the Fundly, she don't need the cell your in this wole.

Yes, Jesus to come, need you years to lie because you know

for sure he will be there and it's not continue treating it just years to

eating her ternally He'll be there. I remember, you know, a prayer

group one day only three for this et. This was two years ago and

so and we started off with worship as usual somethings. Young you think you

got a student to worship? She dial't thing Pie and me and the College

of ju Wanger. That moment was very powerful leader because we literally felt Jesus

walked into the room you know years years fountain, I mean, and for

one hour to the town zone, we did nothing except to just worship him.

Think Pierson agendas all cap site. So I say, inji found because

when Jesus arrives, is his a gender not gender down years to when the

town years to have So your the sington you woman, So I'm haa singson

friends. Who is Jesus to you? Years? Say? Is he just

a sgamo jan? Is he just recorded historical figure? Lisa Downto? Is

he just a good moral teachers? How to get out of joosuit? Who

is Jesus to you today? Thing? Ten years down so sway think about

it. Yea actually sounds because how you view Jesus today in methis and a

thing you can't die here to face how you view his church metters she can't

die? Jo? What do you believe in him? Son? Why are

you drawn to him? None? Wisdom? She paid Hassi. You know

these are questions that we should consistently ask ourselves. So that one moments because

are we here just because yeah, it's a good religion to have No Norman

like, that's you know, woman's we have personally encountered him. Norman like,

that's the leader. So Norman, you can't tire you girl, and

the thing lead and true that encounter. We have come to have a personal

relationship with him. No essue leader, noirl and the quantity because he can

be experienced even a task create Roman can be encountered. Is a Roman you

leaders, and it's ready to meet you wherever you are. What are you

in your home? And your pray altered? The dallied, the dance house,

the son, whether you're driving on the road loser and kid suggests it,

whether you're in your classroom, cursor when you called on him, he

is right there with you, you who shoot Haddam into the son like you

eat it hoside. So don't let the enemy say that you're not worthy son

be around like the earth or like she can mean sony pink poopet. Don't

let the enemy tell you you are not special compared to so and so around

also like she considering like she's jumpy. Don't let the enemy tells you that

you're not godly and you're not righteous compared to so and so. No,

yeah, are she round like she only pink meal sham taker and her number

and sons. Yet, because the truth is, who ever called on the

name of the Lord, he shall be safe. The fans and who yes,

you have to pay the jo So a few way strongly that our expectations

on Jesus should be raised higher our personal life one can and down to two

years to the cheap cow. Because in chapter five, before he went to

his hometown, he healed the lady with the issue of blood right for twelve

years, even i her daughters. The Bible says that the lady tried everything

Nea sent you, So Nega Neurona has sence the chance of the soil.

The fun fact when to every physician she can find. No, she downs

on and go out out the Eastern, use her livelihood to look for people

who can heal her. No, no, you don't have the Eastern.

And she streamed down nice and go eat it tthern. But the situation became

worse because the Nega, when she found out about Jesus, she thinks,

went now years to the soho choose to try together with the crowd to reach

Jesus and touch the helm of his garment. She put the years to the

Eastern and they Boyle says that she was healed, and also how to so

we sometody says Christians, we can also try a lot of things. And

Jesus became the second of the choice down who put on the ferns years somewhere

woman instead of the first option to go to swinger. Jesus must always be

our first option. So now ye son some way, so he must always

be our first choice. Woman. The shiner he works, and he still

works today. Parts are inching, tarn and tre inching. Amen. Amen,

So raise your expectations so you don't apr tea out the Teapan. He'll

deliver you, how you comfort you, how he'll speak to you, how

I doing Amen, Amen as marvel Jesus without faith Roman like she pink omen

the sing sing like she rung. Remember faith it's often translated as action.

It's a thou since But how funny turns the same way you sing. Don't

you don't feel like turning up, you put on your life even more so

you should turn up your life because that's faith, just the sing sing.

Faith is beyond belief. Singing. That's how you sang. Sing because all

this in life we will face with giants, will face situations that were weigh

us down. Now around woman, and she don't yell when I pray,

I say, bless the Lord, oh my soul, all this within me,

bless his holy name. So now down so with the thing, and

it turns on yore only minute you turns. So don't let yourself being weighed

down by your soul. So were around me the negar the lani mean like

she sun and because the lot will refresh you, just like the rain outside

that you're looking at. And you know tonat and I mean young like she

can't sing me, you'll refresh your soul how like she cann't sing the ling

The rain outside is not by accident. The sounds of savy pinboosiga, a

randa, maybe a lot is reminding you that he wants to refresh that inning.

So hiology, there will come like a ragin in the situations of your

life, that every wilderness will be flooded by his down. So hold on
