You're listening to a message to go from ex Church. We hope this message
-
will light up your day if you have your Bible turned to Genesis chapter twelve
-
and you're like fine handedisen transity. The topic for today is what is your
-
isaac? Thinking? Woman? To some much certainly that is that isaac can
-
represent many things in our life. Now it's okay, just a type of
-
don't see And today as I share it, what of God? I pray
-
he will reveal to you what you should do with your isaac. Now like
-
you finish, are you gaining what you like? Genesis chapter twelve Versus one
-
to three says, now the Lord has said to Abraham, get out of
-
your country, from your family, and from your father's house to a land.
-
I will show you that this sun down, this deep and one.
-
As people of faith, we must understand that our life is under the guidance
-
of God. The way sinking the eager moment. You are something so woman
-
centered in doubts. When God gives a commandment, when God gives an instruction,
-
our part is to obey as the whole womanful. The greatest gift that
-
God has given to mankind is the gift of free will relate. That means
-
God has given you the ability to choose for yourself. When you compare us
-
to other creations, be their woman relate. They do not have to choose.
-
They do not have free willer chain. But human beings we have three
-
will because it lay in. A woman told you a chain. So God
-
told Abraham, get out of your country, from your family and from your
-
father's house to a land. I will show you now, yo type and
-
deep into food. How many of you this morning you want God to show
-
you where you should go? Tell your manoa, y'all like rounds dyaling woman
-
she shot out higher woman, Either to show you the next destination you should
-
be in life, to show you a decision that you should make, or
-
to show you about your future. Woman telling you that she run food.
-
What's a center? Woman away like? Stay close to him. He will
-
show you now, sing in conci it must to God promised Abraham. I
-
will make you a great nation. I will bless you and make your name
-
great, and you shall be a blessing Nadi that will be your need or
-
beziful the mean way that the food. I will bless those who bless you,
-
and I will curse him who curses you, and in you all the
-
families of the earth shall be blessed. We bef the food. So this
-
is called the Abrahamic blessing hand two fold. We know Abraham to be a
-
father of faith, tongue man singing. In fact, the entire nation of
-
Israel and Israelites came from him easily. You and I today may not be
-
Jews, tyrant. We are known as the gentile, but because we are
-
people of faith. Because the woman sing the rein our lineage is also from
-
Abraham. Woman Tau is his home. So when God promises Abraham this Abrahamic
-
blessing, so it douns like she to for yap Han taker. It is
-
not just for the Jews, tyrant, it is for us to a gay
-
woman following me so far man. So Abraham departed as the Lord had spoken
-
to him, and Lord went with him. So Lord is basically Abraham's nephew.
-
And Abraham was seventy five years old when he departed from Herran now Yai
-
Lord yap land uh Uh now Yabolan Highland her Nan say. So God spoke
-
to Abraham. There was a promise. He stepped out by faith. Now
-
y like not hydipin sl So to me, faith is about following God.
-
Now they were in constration, and in this following, it's about getting out
-
of our comfort zone, knowing that our dependence on God is one hundred percent.
-
Not the constray it had as it isn't a guardian. It had to
-
the sus She without so much she eat by baying the same license. Because
-
Abraham was probably comfortable in his own country, probably comfortable where he was when
-
I didn't hansuful and God didn't told Abraham, I will show you Canaan.
-
Now the whole sern him gas away around. Then I will show you Jericho.
-
We're gonna saw a yearly girl, I will show you better time.
-
You're gonna show battle tofund Just say to a land, I will show you.
-
That's the way. Show cheat out the eager tifund, meaning when Abraham
-
went out, he didn't have God didn't show him a specific lands. The
-
whole nursing circuit cheated. Not it quite deep. That is faith, not
-
to the same thing. We are people of faith. You're seeing sing the
-
rest say with me, I'm a person of faith. Yeah, that we
-
walked by faith and not by side. Woman sing seeing opinion, because if
-
Abraham were to be walking by his side, he wouldn't have went out has
-
pinioning eating. Too many Christians are living in a comfort where we tell God,
-
God, you showed me exactly what first before I'm the decision to go
-
hand way Jill Sney sing the functionally what tied ship? Too many Christians are
-
living, Show me an answerface before I decide the way, surney and what,
-
show me what to do before I do? Neon she run? What
-
kinda was she? More? What she too? But when you clearly hurt
-
from God that mahanting to the Johnson nineteen. It's all about obeying him.
-
That's full time faith. It's about hearing from God and acting on what we
-
have heard, saying sing that use tingings listening woman, So hearing from God
-
and not acting on it is called fitlessness, no roga manting gins listening.
-
I always tell people who ask me pass, how can I listen from God?
-
Now that she won't turned out linking. Obviously God's voice has really been
-
recorded in the Bible. First reference is always the written word of God eating
-
cent. So we must start there, and I A wills tell them if
-
you want to listen from God. My next question is are you ready to
-
obey him when he speaks to you? What's the way shurn? Because if
-
you're not ready to obey him regardless of whatever he will tell you, then
-
what's the point of wanting to listen to him? Now? How your life
-
shurned for nineteen the summer year. How we need the voice of God in
-
our life because without his voice, we won't have a direction of where to
-
go. You put, Without his voice, we won't be confident in making
-
key decisions in our life. Yeah, who are you in the department sing
-
things? So we need to come to a place where we hear accurately from
-
God and step out in obedience. Now, deeple juices the treating and listening.
-
Every one of you can hear from God may eager and every one of
-
you is a child of God. Manager, you must understand that Christianity as
-
a pretty earlier It's not just a religion the woman serve to women. Remember,
-
Christianity is a relationship with God, and what grows a relationship is called
-
communication. Did do toga? Guanti turns under God longs to speak to you,
-
curt faith on God longs to let you know how much she loves you,
-
and what are his plans and his purposes for you? Sur face on
-
home, moder your life. She juns and tak Curgain. That is young.
-
We need to do our part to pursue him, to hear from him
-
and linking from his word the Bible, from his spirit, his Holy Spirit
-
who is living in you so Doman, and from his people. How are
-
you harding? Were your leaders, your friends? Woman upon your woman?
-
And so it's seventy five years old. Abraham stepped out by faith in being
-
God now yah and had his shahids. The being sings in tATu. You
-
know when people get older that you're like, you're allowed your show. It's
-
harder to change like us, guy Pin, it's hard to embrace new things
-
like DNA seeing the out Uh those are older from me. You you can
-
disagree, but this is my general observation. Is he who is you pull?
-
Because that guy, it's a very natural thing scene because as people are
-
older, we like what is comfortable for us in wayn woman so much going
-
true food. We prefer something that is very predictable because that speaks about stability.
-
Well, maybe it's a thing that don't see even one thing. You
-
can observe this even in your marketplace. Okay, it's when a person has
-
worked for a very long time in the company Tiger, and it's very hard
-
embrace change that the leadership would like to drive now linked out and harm the
-
guy ben So seventy five years old. Abraham was an old man, loud,
-
but he didn't give himself excuses like you know, I have lived life
-
long enough to say that God, you are wrong and I'm right, because
-
how mad okayon her ticle, you're aading. He chose faith and he stepped
-
out the scene sing it taed to the nipoo. Abraham didn't tolll God,
-
God, go, please select other people. Yeah, Americans, and they
-
probably select the younger ones onion and select someone who is twenty five and five.
-
Young people, they have a lot of strength, they have a lot
-
of courage, they have love energy. God. Perhaps when you select the
-
young one, they will chung for you, They will go for you.
-
How now, okay, son us say the Igoran and I had rainy tom
-
So I'm trying to say is that h is not affected. Sooner girl,
-
he where they are young or God can still speak to you. James Chapter
-
twelve, verse seven. Then the Lord appeared to Abraham and said, to
-
your descendants, I will give this land. It is there he built an
-
altar to the Lord who appeared to him thirty again the whole yearinly wait wait
-
time. And he moved from there to the mountain east of Battle, and
-
he pitched his tent with battle on the west and eye on the east to
-
tay. Don't be understand that dunpan water, so don't be I I there
-
he built an altar to the Lord and called on the name of the Lord
-
praternally over yeah into a panch your yeah. Mean. When you read this
-
scripture, it gives you a good gleams of Abraham's lifestyle, danny like you
-
can't ya. Subsequently, when you read to Gene Sis thirteen, you realize
-
that Abraham consistently built altar for God whenever there was a significant life changing moment
-
for him. Nah, that woman take just you you get to un thirteen.
-
This's a whole had they evations to Tan and he will always call on
-
the name of the Lord. That turns on the way that she choke out
-
and me. So building an altar in biblical times or contexts was a symbolic
-
act of worship and dedication to God. That's in the bathing sounds in the
-
thing. By the same waydation, awation and authors back then it's used as
-
a place of sacrifice, not each year the t tana just like she and
-
to have communion with godfan So the althar that Abraham builds now yeah, were
-
typically made from what we call an huge stones, not just a ton high
-
mad thousands that they basically stones that hasn't been cut by humans, just payron
-
she stones that hasn't been shaped by human hands. Mayo Young run this show
-
like she was negating round. So next Zodus twenty twenty five, God told
-
Moses back then, So Moses came hundreds of years after after Abraham, but
-
back then got really had this. He said, if you make me an
-
old stone, you shall not build it off heustone, for if you use
-
your tool on it, you have profaned. The time was ta yeah,
-
Borland, the nugger type hold tay down, show down, the roadway war.
-
It was the time booker you thousands in Joe Batan ser So it takes
-
a lot of effort to build an altar. So you know, yeah,
-
like she to eager. Think about the size of the stones, you think
-
about the ability needed to place the structure of the altar. She ton eager
-
more than nine. And for Abraham it serves as a physical markers for his
-
significant encounters with God. N Yeah, y b l D. Now you
-
might be asking me, so past do we need to build an altar?
-
Now? Was like she just a tan figure relatively speaking, you should now
-
just it holds you on the founcers that the modern day altar on the contemporary
-
place of altar for earth to me is our personal devotion spaces. Now uh
-
tina just a woman d Lincio. Defund your devotion time, your prayer time.
-
Are you like Abraham who have a habit of calling on the name of
-
God? Gausen, Do you know why Abraham is able to hear from God
-
accurately in some way hunting the Johnson linking man? Do you know why Abraham
-
is able to have the courage to step out in faith because he had always
-
had that lifestyle of seeking God into sun word. So Abraham obviously was a
-
God fearing man. Naya. He depended on godound elisen, he remembered God
-
Tartans sometimes in life it's so easy to forget godundas at the height of your
-
success, gentleman, just turn gonna twig out from her. It's so easy
-
to put God at the shelf. Then that's a faith woman, ju bas
-
and found the apn. Abraham was really successful when God spoke to him.
-
Yeah, dancing her. That's the whole No, she said her down so
-
faith big family. His family was small, but eventually when he moved on,
-
he had a lot of servants. He had a lot of livestocks.
-
Downs the whole tire hand the son show hi you daughter diggers saren that she
-
full hand. But despite the prosperity that God gave to Abraham, because they
-
never forsoo God, because the down Sair said the normal dog gate Hi one
-
Sason, so seventy five Abraham went out. Now that ye true? True?
-
Chill if I tell you Abraham what you usually think of downward, give
-
me a shout, sam I is that Isaac? You usually think about Isaac?
-
Because Abraham was very old. Sarah his wife was also old. Now
-
now is that so? Now? Uh y Salah? So you go to
-
Genesis chapter fifteen, Man, can transity issue down some number of years have
-
passed by now isn't called the halt. And many things happened, from Abraham's
-
life being threatened in Egypt to how his nephew Lord was rescued from Sodoma when
-
God rained brimstone of fire into these two cities. Now just fastened halt answers
-
just ya Thai man bayk her boothhood, the sitting fashion, so inst woman.
-
He says, after these things basically means after all that I've mentioned just
-
now, after these things, the word of the Lord came to Abraham in
-
a vision, saying, do not be afraid, Abraham, I am your
-
shield, your excellently great reward. Na that s the boohood. Yet in
-
the tune pie dam said, Lord God, what would you give me,
-
seeing I go childless and the hair of my house is Eliza of Damascus.
-
Yab yeah yea. Yet then Abram said, look, you have given me
-
no offspring. Indeed, no one born in my house is my heir.
-
Ya mayor gay earth nation, read the hosts and behold, the word of
-
the Lord came to him, saying, this one shall not be your heir,
-
but one who will come from your own body shall be your heir.
-
This is Yeah, what are you doing your it has s children people,
-
Germany, the whole center tie Germany the host. Then he brought him outside
-
and said, look now towards heaven and count the stars if you're able to
-
number them. And he said to him, so shall your descendants be ituly
-
titled that one man is sure can sing them through the glima. You do
-
it, Jana roots And he believed in the Lord, and he accounted it
-
to him for righteousness. Ye eats weight hard e. Abram always wanted the
-
sun for someone to inherit and carry on his legacy and lineage. Yea face
-
uncle, that she try it. Both him and his wife have passed the
-
physiological state to be able to produce Salah and na hant. So actually his
-
wife was physically uh can't produce anymore, but Abraham still can because Abraham had
-
a child with Hagar, which is Ishmael nat Salah. Tell you either took
-
a uh. Probably this will be for another topic, but basically, in
-
my opinion, Abraham tried to engineer God's promises. She she is seeing she
-
so at the age of eighty six, ty pa, you say, Hagar
-
bore Ishmail to Abraham. Uh siad Yeah, imatern this is this is in
-
Genesis sixteen sixteen. Just today transity this, okay, So let's fast forward
-
again. God told Abraham that you will have a child. Now we will
-
look at verse Genesis seventeen, verse nineteen. Oh my life can't transity this
-
this? Yeah? So God said, no, Sarah, your wife will
-
bear you a son, and you shall call his name Isaac. I will
-
establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant and with his descendants after him.
-
Salah yao again say is well? Yeah? Things so the y the
-
u uh Chapter eighteen was eleven. It says, now Abraham and Sarah were
-
all well at once in age, and Sarah had passed the age of child
-
bearing. Salah my uh shaht right. Then God needed to assure all of
-
them by saying it was fourteen. Is anything too hard for the Lord?
-
Yeah, the appointed time. I will return to you according to the time
-
of life, and Sarah shall have a son Di disiou yachiyo nant meaning answer
-
shadah being speak now. One one to say is that they were in an
-
impossible situation. Now suhamada to this may or mayo konkan. They had a
-
desire haman you kwan it was impossible for them to have it because it's a
-
turner. May male non lead, don't go to you. Down to Is
-
twenty one, verse five, it says Abraham was one hundred years old when
-
his when his son Isaac was born to him the transitya and by stray,
-
so Sarah was actually ninety years old. Salon hold you. And in verse
-
seven it says, who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse children?
-
For I have borne him a son in his old age? Shandon isay
-
heine in wait, put yourself in Abraham and Sarah's shoe found you always wanted
-
a child Talmad He not fulfill his promise Inunahammad to give you a child like
-
she gain me. He would the child be precious to you? Say your
-
height? Would you love the child? Wait? Right, who doesn't?
-
You're right? So they loved Isaac tamer whey i isa But in Genesis twenty
-
two was one down the idiot coming to the crux of the message like ours
-
don't did now. It came to pass after these things that God tested Abraham
-
and said to Abraham Abraham, and he said, here I am down idiot,
-
so that yeah, yea hand yeah, hand journey. God will always
-
test certain time eating like she k woman Robert test us. We must be
-
found ready when the time comes certain ways say yeah woman downy woman in says.
-
Then he said, take now your son, your only son, Isaac,
-
whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah and offer him
-
there as burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I will tell you
-
s sny that doesn't need the earth situtional need to send the earth needs to
-
either one mona ty war the sun sound bat way fancy? I mean,
-
like, what type of God is this? Asked me to sacrifice my son,
-
this my younger son. You think about it logically, mhm, we
-
will think that God is a cruel God. Now questions hand coulded right.
-
I'm gonna shed later on some inside of why Abraham knew he can pass the
-
test? Now the what do you? Andout way? God take you?
-
And I probably have heard our friends say God is testing me. I'm a
-
station in life where God is testing me. What's defunse? So when we
-
say that we are tested by God, what does it really mean? That
-
woman just the Bason kow Yen this is the whole that is someson. Do
-
we actually know what we are saying? That's some more man, because when
-
we say that we are being tested by God. Basically, God will always
-
test you in the things that you love. Woman, woman's hold on not
-
eating the fund man means woman, God will always test you in the things
-
you always always hold dear to not eating. Don't see the woman. That's
-
how you know. It's a test from God. No needs, You're determine
-
your level of knowing God. Do you really know God? Lie around?
-
It? Can't Andy turned the for the audiation. I believe Abraham really knew
-
God something face handed something in the back of Abraham mine he knew God.
-
It is God is for life. Do you the face something that has see
-
her down? Gods and means perhaps he knew it was a set up,
-
but he choose to obey God because that, like she just the test of
-
God will also reveal your level of trust down. Uh, woman, take
-
a she beout that woman the seing think how the shaping? Can you trust
-
God? License? Because if you don't know God, you can't trust him?
-
Because even woman audition goes back to knowing God. That woman, if
-
you really know God, you were trusting actually seen light? If it also
-
show where is the level of your relationship with God? You can't say,
-
woman, one one see the digger because your level of trust is the barrel
-
meter of your relationship. Even woman and God see I'm seeing her sink a
-
yat. Level of trust is high. Relationship is good. Now woman think
-
hou the tigger turned to. Level of trust is slow. Level of relationship
-
is low. Woman, woman, don't have a quantity us foot. But
-
also determine your placement of value. Do you value God more than what?
-
Or do you value the Isaac more than God? You pant, woman,
-
but I found a way to marcerf for Canton to you woman, that is
-
can don't eat out question. So tests will always reveal what is in your
-
heart way that she's duncing woman in Sancho the true thing and God often tested
-
so that when it is revealed, he will give us the opportunity to either
-
correct it like yeah, woman not wait, or to remind us that he's
-
got and not that she is teasing woman. So tasks. So we have
-
to remember, if you want to hear from God, you must be like
-
Abraham. Now Intenna have a lifestyle of building an altar. Now your takes
-
a d nd d T. You must know how to sacrifice. You must
-
have a lifestyle of calling out to God. Your got choke out Sunday doesn't
-
for function. You will hear clearly from God in a posture of worship that
-
is being diligent and not lazy way, So your team out Lune. When
-
I say have your personal altar, that was true girl, and the times
-
to help. It means you're going to a place where you disconnect from your
-
phone, You disconnect from anything that is distracting to you, and you call
-
on to the Lord. What is it like thirteen needed wasn't around in Ferncy?
-
That don't see that one? Child? Friends, I know you can
-
find God through YouTube's t I G Real Facebook and you listen to all this
-
wonderful message Fami like Chen. But you must take your own personal responsibility,
-
like what Jesus says, Go in to that secret place, shut the door
-
behind you, pray and sick for God. Conserner woman, Yeah, yes
-
for woman that he meits the troubaman guangshan like changing that changed your sin.
-
So Abraham obviously knew it was a test yeah. Faith. In Hebrews,
-
Chapter eleven, verse seventeen, it says by faith Abraham, when he was
-
tested, offer up Isaac. And he who has received the promise, offered
-
up his only begotten son of whom it was said in Isaac, your seat
-
shall be called, concluding that God was able to raise him up even from
-
the date from which he also received him. In a figurative sin sibili this
-
interesting based yes, hold you by exacting san Juan seiling so intry earth sang
-
learn how to earth to turn yours don't EXAs and the ties to tie turn
-
away need the whole tai EVAs hand and Gildrian tones city food ti fund food
-
to the way tired earth lie. You need to know the promises of God
-
are fatal fataleteen to instes summer, because at the point of being tested,
-
you can be comforted by God's promises without basic Yes, that's the whole you
-
know in the center insuy like she bad and food. What did God promises
-
Abraham in Isaac your seat shall be called? Now it's like you gay need
-
What did God promises Abraham that your descendants will be as numerous as the stars
-
and the sand? You know, take the whole. So from Abraham to
-
Isaac two numerous descendants, this means remember what I said, God will always
-
test you for what you know. Just a certain she tettlement, don't.
-
The family means woman, God will always test you for what you know.
-
The family means he's a fair. He won't test you things that you don't
-
know. Don't see when you go to the exam hall, counc defounders her.
-
Most of you are tested by what you have learned or what you have
-
read houses. So just a wait, just the county, don't if you're
-
entering the exam hall and you're being tested out of six questions, all questions
-
came up from things that you have never studied before, how would you feel
-
tremblilty? Woman? It is my belief that God, when he tests you,
-
he always tests you in the areas that you already know. Were eating
-
with the family a woman. So what Abraham know? Now? Y Abraham
-
knew that the promise is found in Isaac like ying she just said. And
-
if God were to be able to say, to sacrifice Isaac at the altar,
-
but isa like she face, And if it's indeed that Isaac was sacrificed,
-
and he's no longer alive, not real God. And how that will
-
mean God is also breaking his covenant. Now you're eating portolo because there's no
-
longer Isaac that you But God told Abraham in Isaac, that's where your seat
-
is. Because the whole, the whole title to that. And if you
-
know God long enough, you will know that God is always consistent and God
-
doesn't contradict his nature. Now generally the way way fun So when Abraham was
-
at the point when he was tested Sedian, he choose to trust God.
-
She is seeing license and above all he understood the promises of God that soil
-
it sound. So in verse five twenty two, he says, Abraham said
-
to his young man, stay here with the donkey the lad and I will
-
go yonder and worship, and we will come back to you. Yeah her
-
side, she bye bye hoa it down. You know, Bible study,
-
we also have to look at what we call the first mentioned in the Bible.
-
Now that some man your life, she can't ye, it's uh so.
-
So the first mention of worship in the Bible is found here. Now
-
certain manou thing why first mention is important is because it's significant now, uh
-
bay, something significant in the sense that you have to look at the context
-
of why the worship was used. Can take painting. So the root word
-
for worship here basically means it is to prostrate, to bow down. The
-
act of bowing down in homemade buy and inferior before a superior being a ruler
-
social was more superior socially economically to one who bows now. It is a
-
common term also for coming before God in worship, and it also applies to
-
other God's idols and such. Now think by eat out you say like you
-
gesy that you you gone tyrun run linked the same way just like sound I
-
mention, think by that God. So so in this context, worship also
-
signifies a form of surrender, So that a bath so thin by is because
-
what was Brand supposed to do? He was supposed to go worship and then
-
sacrifice that you're gonna right, So every time you enter into presss of God
-
to worship elements you think by every time you go to your quiet time,
-
your prayer time, person, you build your personal altar, you're the tag
-
and hip that k her. Essentially, what are you surrendering? Die?
-
Since the systemer I have this fear about contemporary modern churches today or even since
-
you sin die for you is it? I hope you don't grow up knowing
-
that worship is just about singing songs. Well, niga uh, just a
-
jedus thing by just because we can sing until our lungs come out, we
-
can sing until our face turned blue. But if our heart is not surrendered
-
to God, nothing changes. Housing use when the single one back and if
-
our heart doesn't change, if we didn't surrender what we are supposed to surrender
-
to God, then it's just a cara okay session now urgle women seeing male
-
interest? Guy, so ya young? Not so when whenever you look at
-
the word worship, you gotta look at it as it's an act of bowing
-
down to God. So now, man, candn't think by the shona just
-
a seeing a woman? Don't you see that? Take the same way?
-
And I don't want actually like to be a church where during worship time,
-
right, we are so distracted. Well if you're a woman, actually I
-
used tamika, I think by the whole face fun scene, the worship leaders
-
here singing when the thing by dining thing by that is hungered as well.
-
We are scrolling through for taking picture here and there. Now, if you're
-
serving in our media team, is okay because that is your worship. You're
-
serving. If you're not serving and you're not doing anything, focus on godet
-
need at the point of worship. If you're busy replying your message unnecessarily,
-
you're saying that God, you're not superior. I am superior. Ruin is
-
it? I think by the Just's he is a type of certainly may or
-
not. That's at the point of prayer. Even in your personal altar.
-
The kirentity tines help. If you're phoned by your side, you're saying God,
-
you're not worth my time, You're not worth my attention, because how
-
can you pray? And sadly? Oh, then you reply? You think
-
about it, right, It does look foolish the dark around here. So
-
camp she concerned since she said the face dinner naga because there's no revere,
-
there's no reverence given to God. May send the eager chong. It was
-
twelve when Isaac wanted sorry, when Abraham wanted to sacrifice that God called out
-
and he said, do not lay your hand on the let or do anything
-
to him. For now I know that you fear God since you have not
-
withheld your son, your only son, from me. The changes this changes
-
book at and book her height. Even the earth is usually gate war.
-
So why did God tested Abraham like it is to see if Abraham would God
-
turn? Your life? Can't had point where you think wisten. So the
-
context here fear basically means is to stand in awe, not a simple fear,
-
but in reverence, whereby the individual recognizes the power and position of the
-
individual revered, meaning you recognize God's power, you recognize God's position, and
-
you render God proper respect that I think Way, it's something just a high
-
path, Think Way, don't just eat think Way. Eager and her Tva
-
bing gay. You tied into the n and you're able to submit to a
-
proper ectical relationship to God. God like you turn, for it hasn't for
-
you. You listened in your tea and see the day you lose the fear
-
of God in your life now God likes you think, that's the day your
-
life will go spiraling down at and just Neider right. The day you lose
-
reverence to God, the day you lose seeing God as someone who is special
-
is the day where you're in danger, you're eating. It's the number number
-
more nineteen just face by the atn The wisest king ever lived, King Solomon
-
in eclasis this chapter five, verse seven, say four. In the multitude
-
of dreams and many words, there is also vanity the tran Solomon one you
-
sne needs your thingvation, But fear God, turvas all right, but fear
-
God. So when whenever I talk to people, they can tell me all
-
the wonder fool things about your life. Well, chicken, tell me all
-
the wonderful thing about their work, how wonderful thing about their achievement? Si
-
hammand this year uh journey men wonderful things about their studies, Tamon don't matter
-
how ultimately, because it is there still fear of God. Time on Hi,
-
your male invasion following me so far? So I asked you to consider
-
today, what is your eyesac What is the one thing that you're holding back
-
that stops you from fearing God? Now your life? She round that she
-
finds the it's a modern season, and that she seems that she invasion.
-
Now I have a couple of stories readly now in my years of being a
-
leader. Here what just a ventory learning show how I can tell you in
-
my conversation with people, these are the few areas that people find it difficult
-
to surrender tamand you know and one relationship hamanci number two finances, the number
-
three career, this gonso four studies, this curer five hobbies or habits that
-
we love c I the same hue. If God asked you to give up
-
your online gaming, asks you to give up your online community gaming, would
-
you give it up? Ro So, Yeah, sir, that take didn't
-
start on that you'll see. If God asked you to give up your relationship
-
because you are in an unequally your relationship, would you give up? She
-
eaten first setting. No, I'm not saying that you you simply make this.
-
I'm saying that when God convicted your heart and you know in your heart
-
you have to give up, and you choose not to. Now what was
-
it? Then? Who is God? No jetting Dunstan like she's just sing
-
sing like she thousan she out down the door only but you told us a
-
wholeney ups is a month. So from my experience, whenever God touches someone's
-
heart and mean, they do the right thing, you know, harm I'm
-
proud of people who have given up their relationship. Well wait then, I
-
say, interesting, So sure that thirty guancy fake? There's nothing wrong with
-
the other person. Please, okay, there's nothing wrong with that person.
-
Turn the nigga exund how they're in. It's about hearing from God and trusting
-
God to say that this relationship is not right for you. Sir Jomson Nankin
-
take Guancy herney and you gotta give that up like she is thirty. And
-
in my experience, the girls usually do it well compared to the guys.
-
Now cannuis and nonsense how and just being upfront with your face tanti guys.
-
Somehow we find it difficult. Guys, we always want to be in control.
-
Down she find difficult to give up the intimacy of relationship. NaNs you
-
so ta take me can It's not easy to give up face like she's thirty.
-
But when you're doing unto the God. I've seen people being blessed because
-
the downman as she wasted the whole timent don't wait pay monthful. Last year
-
British media approached me in gore the bite. You probably seen it online.
-
People say, oh, I'm being recognized as the most successful person by British
-
VideA and blah blah blah. I do say somewhere kind of so in gore
-
by her like she eats out water. So some of your your cha leader.
-
So they wrote to me very nicely, we would like to recognize you
-

-

-

-

-

-
the way I found out when it sounds really good, you know, until
-
they came and interviewed me time and like she uh missed. So you say,
-
okay, we are going to interview you from the day you were born
-
to your current state with everything, and then you'll say, oh, this
-
is a legacy keeping record keeping so that in the future you have a copy.
-
Blah blah blahs in way like she also transcended, gave me all the
-
transcript it is there. Decided not to publish it. Cant because when I
-
found out more about the process done, what she can't take help. I
-
find that it doesn't aligned to my value that she's the male gun water.
-
That doesn't mean other people who published that are wrong. Don't get me.
-
That doesn't mean other people who published that are wrong. It's just that it's
-
my personal value. Where Upon proving and contemplating, I have come to I
-
have to come to a place to tell myself. Achievement and a colleagues doesn't
-
define me. Now what's it? This turn it rending war? I asked
-
myself, like, why do I want it? I don't see. Do
-
I want it so that I can tell people? Look, I have a
-
name here, Well yeah, I want to use it to sell a name
-
for myself. So where like she is just her bank and God told me
-
just give it up, and you found you to the bank, so give
-
it up. You found that I give it up. You know, many
-
years ago I was also offered a salary of twenty percent increase. You guys
-
probably would know this in another company. Now hand justice the scene, say
-
I give that up? Where is it for thirty? The nigger? Because
-
I prayed God say stay a letter given? Really? Like, uh,
-
all I need to do is say, just to go to medical check sum

-
scene that is in Gala. What's a shelter just at timning? Do you
-
Howler give it up for God? Because wait'st the Native way. Hey,

-
I mean your door. There was a student here my negotiation. He was
-
offered a green cards. Yo, let's taken to Migraine. Just a yiming
-
she may go, the same as Errandscombay from Zambia, Zambia student with us
-
romanticization. He gave that up because when he prayed to God, if it
-
has say give that up because God told him he is the god of the
-
valley. He's also the god of the mountain. In war was tie gal
-
fun dig the evasion. It doesn't mean you go America. It's a different
-
God. Yeah not bendericine doesn't mean in Malaysia is different. You can go
-
to a place where you don't even recognize or see God. Recognize se Ni
-
today. He's an economist in Zambia. Go along stories to share with you
-
of people who have given up something that is valuable to them, but they
-
chose it in honoring God. Well, okay, in first I said that
-

-
a point. I will never find a job that will cause me to work
-
on a Sunday. Now wings your tyrant her seeing she read sundbandit you got
-
Sunday to me. It's any ways since she read your lies. Was wasa
-
but not many people will share the same value because it was a maker and
-
right. We always have this fear that God, if I give up,
-
will there be another job opportunity? hYP and she's a war So let me
-
share with you the last light what made people of faith surrender the Isaac Now
-
system must some around. You're seeing singer and seeing some c and you have
-
to be a true worshiper n the thing bien. You have to be a
-
true worshiper Nias the thing better. Don't be afraid to give up something that

God has required of you, but real like she high parted invasion. Yeah,
-
thirty negative God will never short change you eating like she created a woman.
-
Lord, If I give up this guy or girl, I can never
-
find someone as good as him or her scenario like she founds you entirety.
-
If I give up my job, I can never find a good job like
-
this she found you. The going to turn it up without God. If
-
I give up my online gaming or whatever, I can never feel as fulfilled
-
as this she found you. Then I'll take a man too. People don't
-
give up when God asked them to. It's because they doubt God in their
-
heart. Run dunnagar short. Yeah, she's thirty. The post hold this
-
is that you gotta trust him by basing that she's seeing light hands and you

-
best for you. Yeah, teams downers and how the how the gay woman?
