So we're gonna start with Okay, Joey Chi, she's ready when it's
-
daddy, so you can past the mic to her, and you'll just go
-
around this way, okay. Romans eight. We know that all things work
-
together for the good of those who love God, those whom he has called
-
according to his plan. The one who says your icenerant its debates an amen,
-
thank you, And let's turn to Hebrews chapter ten, twenty four to
-
twenty five. This shang it is susan sure this Hebrews chapter ten, verse
-
twenty four to twenty five. Yeah, okay, you can read one.
-
That mag you can read one okay, Hebrews ten, Chapter twenty, Chapter

jishana sair teen to guander Terran. Diabetes is championing jupangloted not forsaking the assembly
-
of ourselves together as in the manner of some, but assorting one another as
-
and so much the more, as you see the day approaching, thank you
-
for reading, and for I think you boost tend. I just want to
-
read from the ESV version. Okay, So I'm gonna read this, Okay,
-
verse there in fourteenty five it says, Yeah, let us consider how
-
to stir up one another. Stir up not in anger, but stir up
-
one another to love and good works, not neglecting, Okay, the very
-
important part or not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some
-
Okay, some meaning right, some people have the habit not to want to
-
meet together. It's a habit not to want to come to church. But
-
encouraging one another, and all the more, okay, it's a habit for
-
some people not to encourage all right. So and all the more as you
-
see the day drawing nearer, what it means as you see, you know,
-
one day Jesus is gonna writurn just in the year, so you're eating
-
really the end, you know in English you call it the end times is
-
gonna happen. So nineteen and and for ten times to happen. You know,
-
it just doesn't happen. But we will be able to see the prophecies
-
of the Bible being fulfilled because like I was and have been Indians, and
-
there's gonna be war and rumors of war, there's gonna be a lot unrest
-
happening and received and fasten. But you know what I want to draw our
-
attention to today is Verse twenty five, do not forsake assembling, you know,
-
do not neglect meeting together. So you know what I went onto the
-
Thinking book. Her teens were like she teens like, so both of these
-
books that you know, we just went through Romans eight twenty eight and Hebrews
-
ten. It sets what I want to share today so timely. That is,
-
we are called to be in church, not just so we're making the
-
hotel like out your weight, like like it or not, whether you know
-
it's a habit or not for some words, but know that we are called
-
to be in church. I suppose you who like out your weight. We
-
are called not to neglect meeting each other. That she paid hotel like she
-
Holy written, hurranting to jail to the sequan starting with church. And I'm
-
going to come to that later. Why you know what what I meant by
-
starting with church? Okay, because actually daily you know if you're seeing a
-
book of the believers met daily, house to house around singles may eating.
-
So but you know this story, uh, and he said, you know,
-
a man was supposed to be in church and or you're gonna run in
-
and then so happened. This man did not wake up in time, you
-
know, to to live for chess, the certain time that you're supposed to
-
live. But he did not wake up in gayo sig not to that.
-
She's sweet and so you know, like every good mother, how the moching
-
make mo mo went to his room and you know, not his door,
-
and you know, try to drag him out a bit. Tell yah seen
-
like every children. You know, I I've been through that with I don't
-
wake up, giveing him more five more minutes, just like yourlfriend. So
-
was so frustrated and asked the mom the moving give me one good reason why
-
I need to be in church. Just want to give away somewhere else your
-
way. Guess what the mother said, times kind of moveing. So some
-
one it cause you are the bust of the church again to tell you why
-
to tell her the most is the reason going enough started. You know,
-
you know if you are a mom, every mom's here and it is even
-
moving if you know the kids are crying for food okay, younger child,
-
you know they how they want food? You sound the mom the birth The
-
mom who is taking care of a child will not say like okay, go
-
ask the mother to come and help feed the kids like she's way young time
-
on the moine you put you so only she's not mooting as you wait.
-
Young mom will still be a mom no matter how she feels high shood and
-
on the social rule. I think if she has COVID also she still want
-
to take care of the child moving has single thing and herd likewise, you
-
know, for fathers, for husbands, you know it is a twenty four
-
seven time food tating. It's not a job, twenty four seven job,
-
but it is a role, right because change the time. So your role
-
defines your way. Even need the needed gunway need a servant like the hotel.
-
And and you know God, every time when we come to him he'll
-
ask you know, God would ask us who are you told? Like the
-
mat so him needs you know that who are you helps you know what to
-
do this? My tongue needs this sweet so someone so the knowing you know,
-
to be about the surf, your call or something like what am I
-
called to do? Is? Then it comes back to to know who are
-
you? What needs? And that a lot of people right actually they go
-
around and ask, you know, what should I do more? Should I
-
work here? To I take up this job in putting from the should I
-
stay in? Should I study this? Cause you know, there's a lot
-
of what should I what should I do? To say? But it all
-
as as disciples and children of God. The first question we should ask is
-
who are you? Is somewhere from the highs then to woman saying woman,
-
woman's you know it's not like you know some of us here? Oh I
-
like Chinese New Year, that's how you know. I celebrated woman? You
-
ones sing? So would you cheat too? Horan singing? Or I like
-
you know the pali that's celebrated on what you say? You hunting? We
-
celebrate Chinese New Year because we are Chinese. Chinese hardening in a single woman's
-
horden. Nobody celebrate Chinese there because they just like you and see you hunting
-
sing. We celebrate Christmas with the true meaning of Christmas and the right expression
-
celebrated Christmas because we are Christians. That woman like you're hunting young to the
-
fund so young the mean pi the scene that you're hunting woman. The woman
-
also like Christmas. They may just do whatever they want for Christmas, but
-
that is not the true celebration of what Christmas is because it's a type.
-
So before you asked what you should do, do ask who you are?
-
So handy? We need to someone saying woman need to because who we are
-
will define what we do in gay auto some more in all orders. Students
-
here, you know, you shouldn't ask yourself like should I study just a
-
thirtys has suma? It's like should I study tomorrow later? After service?
-
You know? Should I study? I got exams tomorrow? They do each
-
swing media account. It's like you are a student. You need to see
-
for your excellence. Therefore you need to study media right and you know sometimes
-
you're like, okay, God, I don't know what to do. Another
-
question, but put on. Then it should come back to who are you?
-
So I need you? Who woman needs to needs to say? And
-
then that should give you a clarity on what you should do. Where do
-
I work after I graduate? Just be a local probably you know for us,
-
you know, discipling and how doing people we should just ask them who
-
are you? Mental? Patient? It's a woman, how many do you?
-
That's how I, I, you know, started working in a y
-
a that she's going to because I knew who got created me to be and
-
I knew my passion the return. I knew my what would keep me going,
-
what would drive me, what would always keep me excited and smiling.
-
But it's about the waste. Hence that's why you know I entered full time
-
ministry because I knew that this is what God caught me to do. So
-
just a way change the food, and this is the right place for me,
-
and I will be in it. Even though it's a full time ministry.
-
They're still up and down right, because that's we are all surrounded by
-
human beings on change the eating, Santo make put on the singer. Even
-
not surrounded by human days, you're surrounded by dogs, puppies, it still
-
gives you tough time. It's always united the don't because it's just not even
-
even if a tree, it will give you a tough time because the least
-
will keep sharding easy Mouth and the Citian. So knowing where you are caught
-
is really important. So it's someone in this church one day, one day,
-
one day, I'm just saying that eager to get your eagerly steps on
-
your feet just so that you tied out, just like Mouth found downy stabbed
-
you on the back when you still come back to the church uni that way?
-
Yeah, okay, Romans, what does it say again? And we
-
know that all things work together for good one to those of all those who
-
are caught, right I say, and I mean and and it is definitely
-
a very good verse to memorize. So now the things when she and you
-
know except that sometimes uh we memorize it so well and keep saying over again
-
that sometimes for myself, So I actually did didn't miss this part until you
-
know, can actually pointed it out to pay her down the thing when it
-
okay, can I get yes, Gen Jennifer to read Romans eight twenty eight
-
again and I'm like, yeah, uhm, Roman's elder one who Eyesolan the
-
e true juice and had to eat Beta then, and we know that all
-
things work together for good to those who love got okay, those who love
-
got all things work together for good for them and to those who are the
-
call, according to his purpose. So you know what you know, I
-
really wanted to highlight here is you know, it doesn't say that to those
-
who are called, but it's says he to those who are the call just
-
naturally. Why is just pains out and post its southern paid ouder and kind
-
of Actually he decided to start studying this verse a little bit more, no
-
jading out to considered, and he realized there is call and the call,
-
and what is the difference? No hydro fast, So your souther and your
-
pains out Fani, do you know what's the difference? You know there is
-
actually a difference, Jesus your younger. So there can be a million of
-
callings in this world's some of it sound like, but there is only the
-
call or the call. I don't know why English by the call because easiest
-
to pay who We don't have to be Christians to actually know our calling.
-
Pustel pre believers also know what their calling is. She's a girl facing two
-
the tamand facing and you ask them, you know, do you know your
-
calling? Uh? The pre believers waiting a moment they were saying that,
-
yes, you know, I've been caught to be a doctor no time,
-
and they know it very well. They were hard for it lead, but
-
you know they are very good at it as well. High you all do
-
you know your calling? You need need? You know, I've been called
-
to make electric cars for example. She told of the things. That's how
-
Tesla came about. And you know it's really great technology there, Tesla.
-
And because these people they know they're calling really well, you are committed.
-
Tamano, the Hunways and Ali Baba, the founder jackmar right Ali Baba had
-
Mari in the Chunk Chunk. Ali Baba he knew what his calling is.
-
Hence that's why it becomes one of the greatest UH trading and retail platform and
-
one you can change you to your health. And jack Man didn't have to
-
be the smartest person. If I'm not wrong, it's not. Is he
-
educated as well? He's also a teacher. Yeah for a teacher, but
-
he knew here he's calling my male. That's why you know he did.
-
He's doing so well. The painting you have to and one of people that
-
you know closer to home, I already admire. You know, both can
-
and Sandra and counting Central Sundown. They really know their calling coming who not
-
not just you know Plant Church, but they pass. Kenneth is very clear
-
and he knows his calling is to change Malaysia society, Glyn and to spearhead
-
a lot of things. You know you can go read out in the past,
-
but things that we have done in the past. Right, there's a
-
lot of for running, uh spear heading just to doing things, doing things
-
that people have not done before and and for to pave the way for for
-
the church in Malaysia. Then after that it becomes easier. So you just
-
her actually actually poor, how negative? How around For example, when ex
-
Church first started doing our own album, for example, so the twenty we
-
came of her album with a budget of just I think five thousand or six
-
thousand. She take never heard of in the history of album making and music
-
making. Music these are so we're here, and I mean I had the
-
privileged as to be there when when this all happened. Fastens So hold on
-
then and I remember at the point of time, you know, Malaysian just
-
don't really write a lot of songs, no music. The girl we don't
-
have a lot of Malaysian worship bands or worship teams. So the thing by
-
the ton that people want to sing, you know, even even their songs
-
as well, do you I say meal sound woman at a point, you
-
know, just bland of shakers and heal songs. That's when I say it
-
without a white girl without and they were really good, you know, uh
-
and and but when we started doing that, so it's just a woman fifteen
-
sixteen years ago. This is you can see a lot of Malaysian church just
-
writing songs. You can't singing our own songs that God has inspired and given
-
to us. Just like you said, not just no looking to the west
-
like this anmal church or you know it's your hot time or whatever. At
-
the point of the time they were, you know, no one looking to
-
the west, but looking into homegrown because Malaysian church has so much to offer
-
you Chiley, and coming to now this day in February, that is going
-
to be a very prophetic sounderstand like that's from sin and sing and and you
-
know, we know we are called to reach young people even as a church
-
who saw the name sing ron never in the history of church planting. Also
-
a woman down that a church and trust a campers student to start church plant
-
just like she's seen eager attaches and't that she don't that has happened for us
-
in the UK, considered woman and not Ulu Klanger. But in United Kingdom,
-
first world country. And a campus student started a church plant there,
-
and that from one church plans is going to three church plants now in the
-
UK, and sang goods. And this campus student was actually sent out off
-
No, actually lively actually treat down innal. So that is who we are.
-
And and we are very confident in our call. So just a woman
-
so whot and because you know we are, we are able to be confident
-
in our call, because we know of the authority that we have. Women's
-
okay, none of the s entire woman whom woman so young, you're the
-
champion, So speaking about the call not paid? Who stands out? Romans
-
chapter one, verse one. She can't tell Romance. What does it say
-
here? Okay? Man? Women chapter one, verse one. Well,
-
avants of Jesus Christ going to be in apples. He separated its separato to
-
the Gospel of God, which he promised before true is profects in his old
-
scriptures concerning his son Jesus Christ, our Lord who was born of the seed
-
of according to the flesh. Okay, of course, thank you. I
-
think it's just one word, yes, yes, wish to transcend the food
-
in So you see here the apostle. He has written a lot of letters
-
to the different churches that he's wanted her daughter, and every at every start
-
of his letter, No Tai had a singer, so he would always introduce
-
himself. And you know, and most times as well that as he introduced
-
hisself himself, right, he would say that he is called to be an
-
apostle. Now mad Tak paid our ways to calling always start the letter his
-
letter, so you had maid. She calling starts the whole book. Noat
-
hoods out pads paid tis in the negative like Romans is a book. You
-
know, Corinthians is a book. But it's all written by Paul as well.
-
She tygling door said, so think about it for a moment. She's
-
can if we're gonna paraphrase or reflect it, ud fans calling actually starts our
-
day. She's a woman who's out so that she bounds the woman. Kais
-
so in the eating so you wake up in the morning. I am called
-
to be an evangelist. No what's the what's the who's our way out?
-
Trying young fool in the calling starts your week? No neither, who's kais?
-
And as she listened to this message of calling as well, you know,
-
let it start from there that she thinks out since she's going out wrong?
-
Who turn away? You need the don't let our day or a week
-
start from pressures of demands of everything that's around us, around women, the
-
singing she women, the eat and the kai sooner society women they going to
-
the when the hides to the Really, you know, our day of the
-
week starts on Sunday. Women the maga think she ties to the soul the
-
since she ten and after Sunday it's Monday, just the since she eat.
-
Monday is when your children only your attention, your family needs attention, your
-
bossness, your attention, your studysness, your attention. They made ut thinking
-
either sold, put on the put on the rent to lead. We shouldn't
-
start on a Monday when the women the putting you think she eat. It
-
should start from Sunday itself, because when it starts on the Sunday down women
-
chang and when you are found in the house worshiping together with us here.
-
It all starting it right and catching what God has to say to you.
-
You're refreshed here just sing you the function that she's saying, you the patient.
-
You're a reminder of your calling. Did you paying down in the hotel?
-
You have your fellow brothers and sisters here to encourage you to edify you.
-
She tells your imagine, Wow, how are you gonna enter your Monday?
-
It's going to be very differentating this who function? If you read an
-
analyzed past letter a bit more right, she, he writes, with a
-
lot of sense of confidence, uh and identity in his calling you to go
-
down and she see also if I'm seeing you can't also touch and you're singing
-
like the sunfant so are we able to do that? You know, to
-
say that I know who I am, I know what God has called me
-
to be. And if any one of us here you know, if it's
-
not clear, it's okay, it's okay, you know, then make it
-
clear. You down too, put in to make She's by. She ran
-
her team to make your calling clear just around the hotel. Okay, cant
-
seem to contin when your calling is clear. Don't hunting to need a hotel
-
and be ceeo down you cannot need as a whole. They were immediately not
-
identify. Okay, you know, but Canneth quite she he's a visionary to
-
man you eat. He does not just dream dreams, but he listened up,
-
answer that whole to lie. So romans one versus one again. Paul
-
a bond servant of Jesus Christ called to be an a parcel separated to the
-
Gospel of God. Usually do the wishing quickly. Three points Here what the
-
call or the call means? Woman? Young? Okay, first point,
-
it means that you and I just war are servants of God true love war
-
those uh irony mean those who's servants of God chos. So I'm gonna break
-
it down a little bit more here what I mean by that? Here I
-
see see the taste or what bus the kind of meant by that as well?
-
You can. So we are all here. We're not just servants,
-
but we are born servants of Jesus Christ. When not pour woman concerns you?
-
So a servant is someone who has been bought by the master. Okay
-
in the older days, sorry, just that chance eager to run and she
-
is so so my little Harmon so in in in now also as all our
-
helper. Okay, I don't really call them servants, but you know a
-
home helper, a domestic home helper. You know they have been in a
-
way but you know, uh, the employer pays a certain price for for
-
the person, so mating and painting employer in a way it has has the
-
liberty to choose who they want to hire. So paintings the runners. So
-
hold on, tell me it's you changing and back then in oldern days as
-
well as as this was written as all the master come and chooses the servant.
-
Hold on, you lie like she's shipped. Harmon tells ship. You
-
know different ones of you you know has been serving here in church immntally make
-
and a lot of you, you know you have been either chosen to be
-
a singer or extreme you're doing x TV or chosen to do PC need to
-
chair to pay pay way. So when a person is chosen, you know
-
it's good. Okay, you're chosen to serve, but not all the time,
-
and and it doesn't always mean that the person will actually rise up to
-
his or her fullest person. But here's hers her, what's wrong my English?
-
Here's or her fullest potential. Yes, meal, socle how go so
-
how to eat out the chin? But you know the seven, I just
-
you know, I'm chosen just to do a task. And that's all our
-
patient. I'm just chosen by my employer to help, you know, take
-
care of the baby and do laundry for the baby. We'll just pay and
-
painting that well, just like food like she sees efo, I won't clean
-
the house out yep. And and you know a seven you know, we're
-
just like okay, you know, I'm just here on Sunday to click some
-
buttons. Stand after that, go back? How how do you society?
-
Since so very good? You know, come come on time and do well
-
and go home also and you know, and and does everything that you know
-
the servant is called to do just how I told her. Isn't how I've
-
been there that I can also share this down. It doesn't mean that all
-
the time you come and when you serve in church you are doing it with
-
all your heart. Nope. Change, It doesn't mean when you surf in
-
church you grow and you develop that turned down, It means you're just serving
-
like anyone else. You need to some soiet fools. And it doesn't have
-
to be just in the church. So that's why in next church we don't
-
just call it a dauty roster. So it's like we call it a privileged
-
Rostermerge can't yourn sing because it is a privilege to be able to serve the
-
lot. You know, need young to pay umpires. She sooner you need
-
the room sing, you know, although I just started preaching not long ago,
-
but sometimes like ha, let me appreciate four months, four times this
-
month. Sometimes you know, can can happen yourself so you cannot depe unpire
-
you. It's not easy, but you know I have to always count it
-
all joy and carry it as a privilege to be able to bring the word
-
of God, for example, only to be on the can't wait to see
-
lead and and I was just reflecting back the longest serving person in a way
-
like that. From now in extra should be passa and dra No, they
-
can't can't can't sound who is she eating? Soul? Three three children?
-
Every time I look at her, I'm like, but while you're always so
-
cheerful, so so forth energy. You know she's in the sixty thready,
-
but you know still so uh and and and not every time, you know
-
extreme and they fifty sixty yeah around Eddie. So every time you know,
-
actually want to schedule her cart. Sometimes she just volunteers herself to serve.
-
Right, She's like, I want to be there to worship. You know,
-
No, you cannot have like the Ti face your holy then, because
-
tis who are you? And you like Senat thailanding by for thirty five years
-
and she has been doing this ties into the thaialenting by your son soun in
-
never say oh no, I'll never complain your meal. So like she didn't
-
take it as a child. I was like, okay, God, if
-
you're gonna ask me to drive the vent for another thirty five years, but
-
I would do that. God. You know, if you're gonna ask you
-
to drive the vent for the next thirty five years to bring people to church,
-
who I do that? Kays of this Sansu and take super high And
-
I know I will because I'm called to transport people waiting. Wait, you
-
know who's actually thought? They're all talking the Bond seven? This a mo
-
so we talk about the seven just now. A bond servant is one who
-
chooses the master, So you know, mon Juice task sha. A bond
-
server is one who chooses to serve juice, the monia the pur has a
-
shins and that you fools, deterround on me Chapter fifteen, verse sixteen to
-
seventeen. Mean probably can pass to Joshua. Yeah, deterroundo me Chapter fifteen,
-
verse sixteen to seventeen. Deuteronomy chapter fifteen, verse sixteen to seventeen.
-
Do you thrown me? Fifteen sixteen seventeen. But suppose your servant says,
-
I will not leave you because he loves you and your family and he has
-
done well with you. In that case, take an all and push it
-
through his ear loop into the door. After that he will be your servant
-
for life, and do the same for your female servants. Caraki, So
-
entire diamond sounds told tapping your way, need the need the knee type pin
-
a m yep. So if you see her right bond seven Okay, So
-
what happens is the master buys the servant so it or slave. In the
-
odern days, they buy slaves to serve them. She's like she might just
-
see the poor, and she fools. By the seventh year is by law
-
of the lot, by the law of God. Right to release this seven.
-
So suddenly the town so fanta poor. It's like a sabbatical year for
-
this seven that the poor so and sometimes you know for like I'm sharing this
-
because I've been there, okay, like for different ones of us. I've
-
been serving for twenty over years. Okay, okay for us sometimes serving And
-
so you just look forward to that holiday and break and combine services, surf
-
your soul. Hate that she like she can't say, just waiting not to
-
serve, eat turncol servants at the seventh year, I packed that backs,
-
ready and ready to out the door, eat out about singing sola. But
-
when you read verse sixteen, here right, a bond servant. A person
-
becomes a bond servant because he chose es to stay on and choose us that
-
this is my master, and I will not go away from you, so
-
that this ligion you can't have you been so in the morning the English pulls
-
you and unique high because I love you and I love your house. You
-
know what I need her, I need this. Yeah, you know what
-
I mean now by the first point and what happens after that, So you
-
go with your fast and so much sooner immediately right, the master no man
-
sound the negativedren if you're gonn to paraphrase it, put his ear next to
-
the door and push us mix a hole and makes him wear and earring one
-
of both sides. Okay, I have to find out. But earring is
-
there's a trust tudor do you just around time? And like she tres,
-
that's why actually in church we don't encourage guys to have earrings. I tell
-
actual and where she trans because having having ear rings is actually a commitment.
-
It's a sign of commitment. You take just a decoration accessory saying God,
-
I am bonded to you. No, I wasn't eatingmong you're because I love
-
you what I need you know. For those who don't understand the meaning,
-
it is okay, okay, it is okay. We don't encourage that and
-
exers, but it is okay we understand they do why and and you know
-
when you have that earring on, you are bonded to that master. So
-
you have moved on from just being caught to the juice eating so bad out
-
When Apostle Paul said that I am a bond servant, it's actually not not
-
proud to go about telling people I'm about your pudance, hi, and not
-
the working would I think in modern days you wouln't walk around like I'm a
-
slave something. So it was the pay rude. So whenever lost on the
-
streets, you walk around and see guys with ear rings. In the modern
-
days mass they are born seven, they are bonded to a master, so
-
it's eating pay that just they can very see. They can very see.
-
They can see it very clean, and they will know that they have done
-
this out of the love for the master. That I second, the court
-
is one who is submitted to God's purpose the other day just so negative that
-
she suon fully cent the negative efficient efficients chapter four, verse one. To
-
treat evils of this yeah, crystal can Ephesians, chapter four, verse one,
-
to treat if it was so this Susan the e the eil design so
-
that were way to pay chill the gentaman de rah monzole sing servian jildnzala santan
-
fan certain shoe one road the ninth young, I think us quan wrong,
-
young her pain Beslian rod dearly about so surning sort to her we either sing
-
okay uh i there for the prisoner of the road beset you to walk the
-
worthy of the calling with which you were caught, with all holiness and gentleness,
-
with long suffering, bearing with one another in love, endouring, keep
-
the unity of the spirit in the bottom of peace. You can see here
-
right, the first center itself is really powerful. The kind of face hand
-
the prisoner of the Lord will pay Childer. So when modern days, when
-
you are a prisoner of anything, or you are a prisoner in the real
-
prison, chew funness. So ho bad Childer. It is no longer your
-
will. That you know you can do anything that you want. You need
-
to see the and that she don't. If you're a prisoner in a prison,
-
I said, I do not want to have none thos for dinner.
-
What if they just you just serve you porrish and curry for dinner. You
-
just have to eat that. You go haam that she can eat total honey.
-
So many Christians actually these days we don't see ourselves as prisoners of Christ.
-
And those that you do not pull type too funny, young. The
-
anthem for Christ right is Father, not my will, but yours be done
-
years to the true founders. So may she. But these days you know,
-
the anthem for people it's just Father, not your will, but might
-
be done because thin waters. So we have a lot of people may moving
-
from church to church, trom putting from denomination to denomination, put on the
-
just to find a church that can serve their will, just like she like
-
to find a church that cater to how they want things to be. Man
-
your negative city. And she fastened And they okay, I say they,
-
because it's now vers here. It's people are like okay. They go around
-
and keep seeking to just fulfill that instead of fulfilling God's will. It was
-
time Malian woman. She told us all the time of juice cho knowing that
-
they are called to be in that church at the time. And she's in.
-
But you have to come to a place you all to know that you
-
have been the court to submit to be a prisoner of the Lord. Need
-
pace sound like years to the fund. I have a lot of preferences.
-
I have a lot of likes and dislikes. But because I am a prisoner,
-
prisoners don't have preferences. It's a downwards cigatue fund us. Oh no
-
to fund God, I prefer you don't answer me this prayer to have a
-
boyfriend by the next month. Choice no, no, you can' the biological
-
clock is sticking. Sorry, nothing is okay. You know a lot of
-
people say that like hello, you know you you've got a lot of lines,
-
got my preference and not your will be done education in your town.
-
So just just a war that needed to eat right And you know I got
-
close with this to pointer. So this being the court, is being the
-
people that is separated to the gospel, of being separated for the gospel.
-
Also paid who society nicey uh in the pay fun kid? All right,
-
this is really important for us to understand. It's just around me and she
-
mean by that. So sometimes we can feel like, okay, we are
-
called, and your calling can be like, okay, I'm a call,
-
I'm called to be a worship leader. And those who so hosting pay who
-
what's dialing? But do you know that your calling can actually just stop just
-
right there as well the hotels, So you can actually count to a level
-
of knowing that you are called, but you are not experiencing what the call
-
means. Need the pay who down, she teased, like she so much
-
pay hot because the car would do everything for the sake of the gospel and
-
the who I need the gun waiting. So the society tow who saw you
-
that you I really hope and pray that you catch that. And I'm gonna
-
use Express as an example for her. You especially okay and and Pass I
-
use that as an example as well. Okay, that's all cameras is.
-
I'm not just Express only like okay, no pressure team maybe okay and and
-
Expresso you like that, Especial. So when you're just doing what you're called
-
to do, something very easy for us to relate to that you're just prepared
-
the food basil and just feed people and then close the Expresso launch after that,
-
like she foll she passed, okay, and you go and you know,
-
uh, feed the people and you know people come out to you.
-
Oh, very good, very nice representation. All summer may put on pass
-
that is expresso fulfieling that calling. That's especially having sisters also having the hotel.
-
But when Expresso, you know, I can invite extreme up now.
-
But when expressos sees themselves as being the court because the time Especial to have
-
a Bahamas can pass out this whole, then their preparation for Espress will be
-
very different. You have a tattoos especial, so tites put on the same
-
time. It's like, God, you know this coming Sunday, I want
-
to prepare the most awesome and most distinct connapse for you didn't think we need
-
to bake? How then to base her how and because of that, God,
-
I want you to bring all the souls in so they can taste the
-
bestest connapse in the house, in which so shechans out to your house.
-
I want to bring, you know, prepare the most awesome looking cake because
-
I want the pretty beever to take the first bar of kid and immediately give
-
his life to you. Pomper, thank out. You're wishing to light out
-
the it's the the cor just just a the pain out for the of the
-
Gospel in the fen is to be separated for the gospels, a yeah,
-
naga fueen to be separated, is to be set apart when ya young be
-
Awasian to be made holy unto the Lord. Just so. And I do
-
know for example, you know Elisha here Alisa, you know whenever she has
-
to be either translating or charing for Sunday, right y'all, like she since
-
she realized she feels so that to serve as a host. You know she
-
started serving as a host, that she was set apart her Saturday night since
-
she from be awaiting, so that preparation happens, the preparation of the heart
-
happens, the preparation the spirit happens, and you pay harder seeing you pay
-
heartedly so that she can give her best on a Sunday around. I think
-
she read the same and it's really amazing. And because I know I know
-
friends not Saturday night, Saturday night, favor got party, party, party,
-
and that Sunday appear in church you're serving, you all hangover your and
-
someone say it could be a Monday to Sunday or Friday where we are at
-
the market place as well, tell you it's a okay type of house.
-
And I seen you do is to turn something is a woman to It's very
-
important for us Christians to know that we are set apart. We can be
-
in the world, but not of the world because now so just say down
-
yet our focus as believers, it's on eternity as you to women in the
-
Book of Revelation right that she is a low the word that is mentioned the
-
most right in in Revelations. The song that have a fun sound now to
-
you the tree to the tillion. It's not the word love, but not
-
word holy, holiness, the persons and one of the things you know at
-
the end of the day when we meet God face to face as well.
-
So you do eating down? Do you mean as a whole? It's not
-
so much just of our love for Him holiness, tire woman to the eye.
-
How have we set ourselves apart when we are on earth? That woman,
-
women women from away? Second Coritians are going away this versary, Second
-
Contents, chapter five, verse twenty, go into a whole the thing.
-
Okay, Josh, I can read like Second Corintance Chapter five twenty, second
-
Cornice five, verse twenty. Women to your house sounds the woman bank,
-

-
