for its do its fullest potential, to to serve its purpose. Now even

kai son, Yes, okay, so radical generosity and if you can see
-
that, you know, if you're not, that's the hot bat right and

even kind of take a machine. That's when our heart is doing well,
-
it will have that pattern. If it's not, then you'll just be a
-
straight lion. No woman, they're seeing that water do the within the man
-
because room when they're seeing I don't know how just and the area of generosity
-
is one of a very very hard area to to have a constant bid in
-
can kis the main time on she's seen the sun. But I believe as
-
believers here it is you know, as Christians, it is not impossible to
-
be generous because a necevity woman woman than you so punk because you know,
-
for us Christians, h the difference that we have is we have God even
-
feeling our lives even a serviety do to women, you can't tring youngman.
-
And when our lives is filled. So much with his love and his overwhelming
-
love. You know that we can't help but give instead of holding back.
-
Gay women like she, why do food tired? And and this you know
-
does bring you know, as we continue to live as the child of God
-
in the area of generosity, the imagination and heightsmen that can't it will bring
-
an impact and change in the rounding and community that God has placed us in
-
no way around. She need me on the guy so that every single one
-
that comes has a personal encounter with Earth. With personal encounter with Earth,
-
they will walk up after the encounter different howround. Then she fans a woman
-
like sherman, your younger guy. So what I'm gonna even just give us

-
Verse one to seven. And Bazilo and her Liup and every gifted artisan in
-
whom the Lord has put wisdom and understanding to know how to do all manner
-
of work for the service of the sanctuary, shall do according to all that
-
the Lord has commanded. Then Moses called Bezalel and Eheliab and every gifted artisan
-
in whose heart the Lord has put wisdom, everyone whose heart was stirred to
-
come and do the work. And they received from Moses all the offering which
-
the children of Israel had brought for the work of the service of making the
-
sanctuary. So they continued bringing to him feval offerings every morning. Then all
-
the craftsmen who were doing all the work of the century king each from the
-
work he was doing, and they spoke to Moses, saying that people bring
-
much more than enough for the service of the work which the Lord commanded us
-
to do. So Moses gave a commandment, and they caused it to be
-
proclaimed throughout the camp, saying, let neither men nor women women do any
-
more work for the offering of the sanctuary. And the people were restrained from
-
bringing, for the material they had was sufficient for all the work to be
-
done. Indeed too much. Amen, thank you for reading all of us,
-
you know, caught even from the seven versuses, from the cheek things
-
when men like so, I need to kind of re emphasize that even as
-
I say that, you know, this is a tool, one of the
-
tools that our students here can use posts a c c now show like rangciation
-
is that she wanted hy although it is that, but it applies to all
-
of us here, especially when we are believing, say runation curse. She
-
saw your fancying, yes woman. So from this scripture that was read right,
-
was written? Okay, right? That you know, the first point
-
that we canctually draw from it is generous. People often give more than they
-
are asked to give. Nati got the thing, not just a canker,
-
And don't wait like she uh gates, how good Hammond juices short showed Hammond
-
and this year function and this is I believe you know one americles that you
-
know hopefully in the days to come we are able to witness a well here
-
see the human like she said and hand out to c CD got so far
-
I have not heard anyone or even Barcearond. You're coming to a point to
-
tell, okay, everybody, stop giving more than enough your next day life
-
or mayor the tonge life. Goanna just so yourn her eagerly show us a
-
stround and turn out something like function. You know you were really here right
-
in verse five says the people brought so much more than enough for the service
-
of the work of the Lord. Uh in short out more ceo shown up
-
by gone short now like the phone for yo you that's what generous people are,
-
can kairi and is young. They give beyond what is required and asked
-
of them. Just it you're just am and that she gave. That's how
-
hot and not just to the work of the Lord, but unto each other
-
as well. They just gave you a kan kaii beats it is still quite
-
in a way quite easy to just you know, give okay offering by uh
-
you know, building pleasure or or not. It's easy to do that.
-
I sure woman's actually qualified. It's sometimes slightly easier to do that. But
-
to be able to give beyond what your neighbor is asking from you, it's
-
definitely way more difficult because the instrument upon your Yeah. Yeah, just so
-
there's a whole How about giving to someone who has fully betrayed you? M
-
just it? You girl, your baby pant gone? There someone who stole
-
your girlfriend from your love? Can you? Yeah? So a lot of
-
times, you know, sometimes you know, there's still a lot of neat
-
around us in church outside of church is because Christians this, you know,
-
are still holding back made your face and daughter, she just in wain.
-
Uh just don't HAMI or one one changing the function? And I believe very
-
much, you know what the reasons why probably probably Okay, is this my
-
own personal opinion. The lot has not returned yet. What girl, there's
-
a year to ham that is the way, like because the church has not
-
gone until the ends of the earth to share who he is? She do
-
cy Girdie, like you furnished your years? This just say, can I
-
be a little bit more? Uh, real life example, I remember the
-
autance. This yeah, this year. Probably why our homes is not going
-
that much when the homes may die touched a little bit more at home.
-
Why has not been going that much? Why it's not it's not seeing a
-
lot of difference or or you know, it's not becoming better. That's the
-
while your officers or your college or universities, it's not changing much. They're
-
going to a town show. Hi, it's probably because Christians are still holding
-
back nation in wayn woman hio about you what the Lord has been challenging them
-
to do and give juitization like she got the woman that she can't do.
-
Noh, okay, I'm gonna move on to the second point. Generous people
-
give in response to a great cause. Can ki wait like she intake and
-
like she functions? If you see an around you respond to it. Ruin
-
it came down. Shouldn't be like she according to the ability that you have
-
and she continued, So young Yoda's take. It doesn't have to always be
-
in monetary ms painters. But what the Lord is asking us to do to
-
be the first responder to the situation that is iggerant if someone needs food,
-
feed the person she like she is function if the person needs clothing, clothes
-
that person like she is. And you know, I'm gonna just give us
-
the scripture so we don't have to read from it. But you know this
-
is actually drawn up from Second Corinthians eight one to five and Second Corinthians nine
-
one to fifteen demuncation girling dot eat out around higher girling door hold sho dijo
-
jun d eat out yep. And then so that that is the second point,
-
third point the dinner. Sorry, I just run the back track.
-
So we see from this two portions of scripture the Corinthian Church they were faithfully
-
giving to help the community of people whomever. Uh. You know, they
-
meet the girling daughter Hamando and sister that she can't ki, that she young.
-
The third point it's from Luke chapter twenty one, verse one to four.
-
Down eat out and the next person read will be Elisha the relisha look
-
chapter twenty one, verse one to four. Pu title got food you you
-
gennigger chunko to So was sunim chto total dne the god. And he looked
-
up and saw the rich putting their gifts into the treasury, and he saw
-
also a certain poor widow putting it too mics. So he said, truly,
-
I say to you that this poor widow has put in more than all
-
for all these out of their abundance, have put in offering for God,
-
for putting offerings for God. But she, out of her poverty, put
-
in all her livelihood that she had. So we can reach here from this
-
four versus itself. That's this thing when you mean kanjin. God's viewpoint of
-
generosity is not in its volume undertake a cank candy gate that took a shund,
-
but in the demonstration of the gift that was given. Okay, that's
-
a scene each. So the third point of you know how what being generous?
-
A radical generous, radically generous person who like band that take a cankider
-
renner is the person who will gives out their own substance, whether large or
-
small. Juwa the a f neilne. She gave you this sound and that
-
itself. You know, when that is done, it becomes a special gift
-
in the lives of the Lord, down to function funciation. That's the function.
-
Okay, next point, uh, it is actually the next point.
-
The fourth point is generous people give more than just the money. This Dana
-
cank kidern come and sound function, you know. And I've also touched a
-
little bit on that. And this is actually drawn up from Luke chapter ten,
-
verse twenty five to thirty seventh. This a shoe without sis TD.
-
And you know what can you be generous in besides your money, which is
-
your So money sometimes symbolizes your treasure, she assuman about gentlemen about but in
-
treasure as well, it can be something which is prescious to you, right
-
because I think about John about was a Roman seeing ice, seeing terms in
-
the area of like items like physically you can touch on juices gentlemen and don't
-
see so that is a treasure. You know, God could be challenging you.
-
Hey, you know, why not give up your bicycle so that someone
-
can cycle to church? Because then you're the wholenessentmentman the take jil hatten and
-
that your wait, hey, you have a car when you come to Sunday,
-
why not pick another four person up to church? Now you and ocate
-
sadat show Ciga sation and like your way. Treasure time sitting in these days
-
and age time is a very precious commodity. Sting face face yod, how
-
you and me wake up on at seven or seven thirty am on a Sunday.
-
So I need to serve and yeah, like you see them, how
-
long willn't go? Like she by eight fifteen, I have to be in
-
church so that I can prepare and get ready to serve. But the way
-
in the way on Thursday night, Wow, you have homes oh you know?
-
Yeah, on Friday you have a lot of small groups on campus.
-
I have to be there. You don't see how she said, don't see
-
yo, I have to spend time, you know, just you know,
-
listening or counseling a person who is in it. Yeah that she can see
-
she and like she but eleven fifty night tonight after something my assignment time.
-
And it's really scarce this day, face and face. But the Lord wants
-
us to give him in this as well, because sooner, young woman that
-
she is, she didn't function and in the area of our talent, tentleman,
-
the take taianimen. So I'm not too sure. You know, what
-
are the different talents of gift things that you have in your life, Maria
-
or Learney. Those who love cooking and can cook, you know, start
-
cooking for the whole kay, She put on the you know those who have
-
you know, Uh, I don't know what other talents those who can dance,
-
you know, danceing a lot so that other people, you know,
-
will be able to experience a lot. Now she waited, Harada, don't
-
like she's in oution. So you know, if you can see from these
-
scripture you look ten right issues, she will see it. Uh. And
-
and you know you talk about the good Samaritan as well. Since the house
-
Samali are in the big so in then they who helped the person that was
-
you know, bitten up and abandoned by the road side just say like she
-
punked tickets she kind of if you read it right, different ones that she
-
passed by this man, but no one stopped to help. Juanna wanna kind
-
of ding or male like she punk. And there's only one person, which
-
is the good Samariton that showed mercy on this man. Were you eken the
-
house Samli I render and God like she gate me? So the good surmeton
-
wasn't anybody Samali I rent the previous person who passed by this wounded man.
-
Right, they were all like you know, you know teachers, you know
-
or modern day you know their pastors. They were in the restical church,
-
their preachers, leaders of church. You know they passed by, but ignoring
-
this person in the sails, so render now she so. God does not
-
work with people with just with titles. Your your veteran, your mean scenerant.
-
You don't go. God does not just use people with titles to make
-
a difference in the community and the nation. Is your this year? Uh
-
your this veteran like she died, don't go. So God works to each
-
and every one of us who would volunteer ourselves situation. You don't fancy that
-
that point of changing influence, servation you finds around city like she uh tmation
-
the team that she true pound me? Okay. The fifth point it's from
-
Genesis forty five transity. This is basically I won't turned to the scripture because
-
we have to read the whole story and four but it's about the life of
-
Joseph. Think my point like she do thet and gird junk and because yes
-
doesn't mean so. The fifth point is generous. People give even when it
-
doesn't make sense. You shouldn't cankie. Some of us may know the story
-
of Joseph when you hear yes, some don't know. But basically, Uh
-
paraphrasing and summarizing everything. Sure, So Joseph was uh sold off by his
-
own siblings a slave because they were jealous of him. Yes, and we
-
had a gentleman Baham like being. He was being treated and he was hummed.
-
His own family injured, had a gaman that she paid pan around Harsho
-
Shan, which you know, in the eyes of all of us, your
-
family is supposed to be the most safest and secure place for child gay heightsmen
-
to one fund. And you know, God brought Joseph to even different periods,
-
different trials and tribulations, different seasons. There were glorious days as well
-
for him Esten and Hi Hong Kong, the Rids because a d go the
-
Rids and in the event that was family in the land. The family came
-
and you know, the King's palace, Uh and Joseph met them to hon
-
Uh found the Yes, true de found your ji Huang Garantmn July and Su
-
and Joseph actually extended help, helping hand even to the family. Ye,
-
like she s Garrant. You know there are certain things I'm not just sure
-
for different ones. There are certain things in your life that's really hard to
-
overcome and does not make sense for you to be generous, man, honor
-
her book. She can't kie function. But the right thing to do is
-
to continue to be generous even though it doesn't make sense, because you like
-
you do, because it's an act of real maturity of a true believer.
-
And when a certy to showmen and go yeah woman, turn to show the
-
eager fun fat Okay, so six pointin you know I wanted to sorry,
-
going back to when being generous when it doesn't make sense. I know,
-
you know a campus in Laya, so your eger when they were facing persecution
-
and a lot of restrictions left right, center, up them back, she's
-
sixty all around surrounded. They didn't back down Hammond mayor just to uh just
-
mayo just the teams like, they didn't stop loving their campus. They didn't
-
stop loving the management teams. Yeah lie sd she like she s so they
-
didn't stop giving their best as a student in the area of the academics as
-
well, serviamon your male justice who down Hammond the year and it didn't stop
-
them from reaching out over to their friends. Ye male like she chooted Harmond.
-
Now she uh heard Harmon. You know if put in the situation,
-
they were like, just flip the ball. I'm like, okay, the
-
management like that, prosecutors like crazy, You'll just go I don't care.
-
I don't think you have no funds that. But they stuck on and and
-
generously love and now you know, they're found so much favor with the management
-
of the colleague. Even harmony actually Harman, it's all that's a grana and
-
shin out and through that, right, they saw a breakthrough happening in the
-
lives of the different students also Haman. Different ones started excelling in their own
-
personal life as well. The Hamann They started seeing even miracles of healing taking
-
place in their campus found me and say, and they started seeing I saw
-
other campuses, you know, coming to them asking you, okay, how
-
do we do this? How do you all do this? Please? Teachers,
-
please help us. You know what kind of taman is she is?
-
She bangsu Yes, thank you? Okay, the next point, okay,
-
generous people give to help others, even when they differ from one another.
-
They know the things you should now CANKI now wy like she like she bound
-
to trmon and harmony, juice, can't uh you undertake a cana. This
-
is drawn from Luke seven, verse one to ten. So I want him
-
to eat. But you know, if you read it, that's all right.
-
And yeah they who the person that built the Jewish synagogue was the gentile?
-
Now yo, says an eat out you shot down like take a a
-
why bank. Back in those days. The Jews, I think still now
-
as well. They do despise people who are non juice, so they call
-
them the gentiles, say you tyran and harmant to wait that she why bank?
-
But then uh, you know the non Jews, you know still what
-
they did? You know, they still help build the church. The Synea
-
got them this rman young Kankhider like she you know where we are at even
-
uh you know in in Neila itself is a very very center. Okay,
-
it's the center of education hub sounder sake uh un don't sing and being the
-
center education HP. We have a lot of international students here as well.
-
Chew. You don't see him then where you're put on the gordities and we
-
will also meet a lot of people from not just students you know, working
-
dout as well from different walks of lives. But we hand down, we
-
hand down shan banshuman These are all given opportunities by the lot gay them waiting
-
for us to cross over to the culture how rem and be relevant to them
-
like she you have in jail time. You know, it can also be
-
within you know. I always give this example. You know, when God
-
challenged me to plan homes in in Salmon. You that's you know outside und
-
she don't homes. Then I was like, yeah, go and go plant
-
homes for an email, she don't homes. And when I went there,
-
then suddenly got started bringing different ones and your guys. A lot of it
-
were Malaysians. But then one thing I realized, even with the Malaysia,
-
you know, we are multi ethnic groups, even put and most a lot
-
of my homies were Chinese, Malaysian Chinese, the or the homies. Yeah
-
I'm a Malaysian Chinese, yeah, Harden. But the only thing is I
-
don't speak man dream because you get in just in the world boots. So
-
when when this happened for my homes, then you see your fast that are
-
the homes my first homies that were around them, they're still here now because
-
yeah and my yes home you the homie I just am Remember God, how
-
did I do this? Because I remember what my homies coming to me one
-
day after homes I did I didn't that? So yo, what she's talking
-
home in what means? And the person you know started sharing he's her?
-
How I shall not see he or her? Had you just a housing?
-
How fai around? How? How cool did you everything? Don't you say?
-
On some But I was like, God, I understand the tears for
-
me, for me finally alien, But I don't know where that is coming
-
from because I understand what she's saying, because he or she's saying that.
-
What kind of had I understanding that? Cool? Because so neither a translator
-
just fan. So imagine you know if if you know josh in yourself and
-
you put yourself in the person's shoe, right, you're like telling your host
-
little has happened, and after every sentence you have to stop. Then the
-
translation happens for a while for two sentences and put on then any teen so
-
and that she find it so and then all conversation. My heart really broke
-
because the person have the cry that stopped for translation, and cry again that
-
stop for translation. The thing just just and so you kind of like cool,
-
cool, she got Fanny and now she found you, right you cool?
-
I was like, God, this is a language I totally don't understand,
-
wouldn't go me by, but I want to reach also this group of
-
people because yeah, like she's so shall thisman. So I signed out myself
-
for you know, I tried to learn mandin like she found me. See
-
don't worry, sign up myself for Mandriam class as one only k igradiation.
-
But then I realized the class doesn't make sense because I don't learn. I
-
don't like church stuff. I learned language stuff that she's all just tell you
-
that the de found that because her, because it was it. They just
-
don't want to. So I decided to know. Like God, it just
-
opened up my ears and my brains and my heart to know what's going on
-
when manding is happening. I tell you don't want showing to now. And
-
because of that got worked now in sing so you never know even with your
-
five floors to fish or half flow of half fish opening bun being when you're
-
surrendered to God, that she's the altercation God say and telling God, you
-
know, God, I want this to be used way about rounding like she's
-
you know he will make the impossible become possible. How about take a male
-
colnoonicity pain that's anyway, yo, that's my next point as well. I
-
just was did and this is from Matthew fourteen, chapter fourteen, verse fourteen
-
to twenty one. Jus from my type for Indis and Visus that we all
-
know this parable that this little boy just five loads of bread and two fishes
-
take down years. So I had being early, he offered his lunch,
-
went you know, Jesus, and he's discapposed to go check out and see
-
whether there was any food enough to be able to feed five thousand people down
-
years to like she type elemental magician who like you wait about to see dig
-
the tree, don't And of all people, a little boy came forward just
-
now we're down to some imagine that could be his lunch that his mother packed
-
for him. Her mama like she balcated and adult just come along his way
-
and take away his lunch from him. But the miracle happened after that that
-
five loaves and two fishes was enough to feed the multitude. There was five
-
thousand men, but I believe there were more, you know, just like
-
you wait about and God divinely multiplied that she paid. And so you may
-
say, God, I only have half a loaf and the fish tail life.
-
You're going to guess your punting. You wait, you know, but
-
God can multiply that as you offer to him ranker he pay, and then
-
what he's going to do with that, you know, it's going to be
-
beyond your imagine imagination. How do the whole just so that she's how woman
-
and young? Second last point is from Luke, chapter nineteen, verse one
-
to ten down't eat up and uh, I'm not going to read to it,
-
but it's from the story of this man called Za. Yes, now
-
she doesn't take a gootia because straight, So he was go yeah, sorry.
-
He was the chief text collector and a dancehold that she died so straight
-
that the gun he does not collect just the amount that people need to give,
-
but he actually collects stra strikes from a lot of people. So it's
-
basically he stole from them that she is so guy, so straight. It
-
has a son. Don't they just eating your told? And sister flight is
-
slight. It's already you know. The A point is generous people give as
-
a byproduct of their own personal transformation. So in the county can kid and
-
into Harman current the jan beIN like she functioned. Zakis had just one encounter
-
with Jesus, so I can't not have her yes eat and then he changed
-
from stealing from everybody. So you hold your tong like she said on Taren
-
holds it to a place to say that I'm going to return all that I
-
have stolen or nat function ten, not just the exact amount, but way
-
beyond that. That's a show door. So he could do that because he
-
encountered Jesus and had eating, and you like your CD. So this is
-
also why as believers, I say that you know it makes us different because
-
women encounter Jesus. You know we are able to give beyond what what we
-
think that we are able to manage Nazi just with her yes your a wointment
-
as the whole. It's how woman's like she function And the last point I
-
will come to that is from Philippin's chapter four, verse fifteen to sixteen.
-
So fairy b shue this without So the last point is generous people give when
-
others will not come ki from right away from So Christians here today too,
-
men, are you able to answer the call from the Lord. She tried
-
to hold the call that God is asking you to give of yourself, Juice,
-
hold down it. But definitely firstly unto him. So and because we
-
give unto him what God's heart beat is for the loss in reason the tiger
-
seeing truely, yeah, high sang the younger. And God would definitely challenge
-
us to give according to where his heart is beating at eating here like she
-
woman, they're saying, like she uh functioning, And I would say,
-
you know, not only Christians are actually generous people, but gay put the
-
city, but there are people outside the church which is really really really generous
-
as well, ya and face Conkian and they can offer everything sometimes beyond what
-
Christians can offer. How many years now, but the only thing Christians that
-
we have uh to be able to offer now is the gift of servation that
-
Jesus has for juices years so so gay and so even true because being generous
-
itself is a lot of giving true actions even a cankind true don't like she
-
function why but that is just an introduction to the love of Jesus for them
-
yet too sooner yeah, years to get that gate harmon the I that she
-
and she because you know I started with you. Also that all may know
-
that's the theme for this year as well. Now just how they are churns
-
dumb, that the whole of Neeli may know that Jesus is Lord Haround gourney
-
into Dinner two thousand years two, so that everyone may know that the only
-
way to heaven is to Jesus, Harna, do not go to down,
-
sir, don't not go to down the way Juice years two, And that
-
no one else can offer them salvation except the Lord Jesus maynay chill. And
-
so I'm just going to close with this two testimonies now like I'm going to
-
invite extreme forward way that she in extreme sounds life. So like I said,
-
you know this is also drawn out through this period of time that the
-
Lord is bring me and even uh my family true as well. Juice rule
-
shot Digger infants, Juice World or tatting lead. So we have been caring
-
for my uncle's having the fourth stage cancer. Now her man too easy,
-
that she theger, So it's not easy. Now he's starting to have a
-
lot of pain. Now Juice your de city the eye and so every two
-
hours he has to be a morphine mainly how do you you dig the time
-
and we got here has a cancer off his digestive system, so digestister is
-
very very messed up, not even that face the deeper. So sometimes it's
-
very hard for to have output. Sheep hip been. So sometimes it's either
-
really hard or it comes up really really messy true uh being just faith and
-
he's in a lot of pain, like generally. Okay, So family,
-
you know since the time, you know, even before that, we've been
-
you know, we did share the gospel with him, but since the time
-
we took care of him, your friends had sang center food in consistent and
-
you have been telling him who Jesus is man like she heard has straight too,
-
and it is taking care of a person who is not well. It's
-
difficult, especially if he's also not more bound. Now, don't be in
-
aal you're young. But one of the things that you know, God has
-
even challenged me and my family is to be generous in this area. Considers
-
highlight. Woman found me in your face concake and we've got one of the
-
things. He or not uncle, but he's not not siblings of my parents.
-
Okay, he is my mom's cousin. So it's further distance. Mama
-
that dig d uh just had a had the girl. She just had a
-
girl. So when he found out that he wasn't well, he actually reached
-
out to a family for help. Nasiga, you not have fashion. He
-
pushed you like the garant. So basically his mom and my mom's mom they
-
are sisters, just dig the mama the white poe used to d me.
-
So they have top siblings or the white boy. So imagine how many cousins
-
he has or how many uh nissas and nephewsas he would have as well sing
-
no bound. So he has asked for a family for help because we asked
-
him why, they said, because I am comfortable with you and I trust
-
your Now you woman, you one? How much money here like young woman?
-
So how to say now to that? If he didn't say that,
-
my parents were actually opened already to take him in. Don't care for him?
-
Tyran had to or the full moment how many things her that she's so
-
about three weeks four weeks ago, uh, you know assault, our leadership
-
training took a patience, so I shed that need uh that you know need
-
the prayer you show or the cheat and that Saturday night itself. My mom
-
message said, hey, uh you know your auntie wish is her another cousin
-
message now that nineteen one show the bigger be like she her war shout out,
-
mam So. She asked what happened to him? And I was like,
-
what happened? What the mama? So so he said, actually,
-
he just told me to throw all the idols in his house. How do
-
you how do you, mama show? How do you like? She so
-
dearly that they said, sorry, we have not talked about his idols in
-
his house. Or even when we were showing Jesus years to the one,
-
we didn't even say about you know, you cannot have any other gods besides
-
Jesus when you believe in him, even her show that downing years to the
-
So what we did was to tell him that Jesus loves you, show the
-
juice and the years so I need and you know that our body is just
-
temporal. Here now the rot in the and and basically that it and we
-
show him about healing also eats it. So that was the first miracle,
-
even through us just loving him, just old woman like she and the girl
-
as the other family members. You know, despise him. She had like
-
she didn't because actually she's a bankrupt in wait reading port handed and he has
-
gone to prison before she got so nobody there to take care of him.
-
She the mill and like she did. But then he said he didn't tell
-
us. He just told her we got got right, go in the house
-
and throw you everything your milekan woman. And you think she was that so
-
we knew that was the byproduct of him wanting to trust in Jesus. Moth
-
Now she got yao like she can tell thee. And the second was it
-
just happened this week fashion. He finally decided to declare with his mouth that
-
Jesus is my Lord and savior. How do you say, God, she
-
shank out, so you need to shake out? Yes, Susan had to
-
her you to first, you know, God touched his heart so saying yeah
-
true had a sing uh. And then now he's declaring with his mouth,
-
she had you the call that she shined out. Sure, So that's what
-
I'm not saying. You know, our family did, like you know,
-
we are you know, the bestest people. But what I'm saying is,
-
you know, just love well. But the garrant you don't don't know how
-
because sitution nor can kid like she eyed hard and and I do know that,
-
you know, God is in control and he is still working in his
-
life. Wait, it's down a shiny t ranjuice, the mad down.
-
Yeah, so that's one of it, and and and the other one.
-
You know, my own personal as well, which last week or so,
-
I shed in some money. They sha the adition you're not even so and
-
I'm going close with this already when I and that she do so that's uh,
-

-
whole the pun yuman was he shaty Shaphan the Wai. So the church I

even certain you're EASi and and you know uh and we will get you know.
-
At twelve thirteen, fourteen years old, we are sent to shopping malls

-
different ones when the university and now you know, different ones are working having

-
knows past and Andra as well. She don't just uh just to die more
-
Banali die hra canamal. So my heart has always been to reach out to
-
my friends that were lost, you know. And it's very very difficult now
-
the sing sing because in my friends a lot of them were Christians and then
-
their backs like the chin made drama my man. So at least about probably
-
three months ago, God started establishing the relationship again we do with one of
-
the four that were that are lost. You she mailed the rend world your
-
juice say, and we started because oh random, he reached out first.
-
So we started chattings. How do you like? She ting? So some
-
of you may know, right, I don't like long messages. With every
-
long message sometimes I just like, okay, God, it dumbs out the
-
fact or doing dumbs up what is this? Okay? So God then said
-
be generous and just chatting with him and reached out to him. The Fami
-

and sent over to me. And it was encouragement notes that I wrote to
-
him in year two thousand, just ten and this is the whole leader car.
-
So he kept it really well, had just should fa on the house.
-
And then I saw the content of the note. You can't let's take
-
what's he So it helped me to create conversations from that see the uh to
-
talk about his face and his what with lot? Last week when I was
-
