-
You're listening to a message to go from acts Church. We hope this message
-
will light up your tea. I want to now share with you four things
-
that I hope will encourage you before we close. Here, here we go.
-
Let's put the first slide up. Okay, this is the four things
-
I want to show you plan pothole, patch up purpose. I want to
-
show you that God has a plan for all of our lives. He has
-
a very clear plan. I want to show you that in the shortest way
-
possible. And then I want to show you that there are potholes, and
-
as Malaysians, we are very used to portholes, okay, and in our
-
lives there is also a big pothole that we won't be able to come out
-
from if the Lord Jesus Christ doesn't come into our lives to help us.
-
Jesus is here, and that's why the next one is called patch up.
-
And there is not MBSA or MPK l quand Langad or MBSJA, Subanjaya or
-
Bandarraya. Is not any one of these that came to patch up the porthole.
-
Is Jesus. And I want to show you that there is a patch
-
up and the road is beautiful. If you have Jesus in your life,
-
somebody say amen. And then, finally, and most importantly, because of
-
all this, you must recognize that there is a purpose for you and I
-
to live. Did you know that you're part of a great plan. I
-
remember a story I read years ago where there was, you know, a
-
project that was going to be set up, a big building that was going
-
to be built, and there were two workers found in the field. Both
-
were doing the same thing. They were, you know, making holes in
-
the ground so that they can build a foundation. And so to one of
-
them, a question was asked by a stranger, what are you doing?
-
And he's digging a hole and he said to the stranger, can you see
-
I'm digging a hole? And the guy says, okay, fine, And
-
he walks to another guy who's doing the same thing, digging a hole,
-
and he asks, what are you doing? And he says, building a
-
great cathedral. And I want you to understand that in life it can be
-
like that. You know, what are you doing just playing the drums?
-
Why are you doing just playing the guitar? Why are you doing just arranging
-
the chairs? Or would you catch in your spirit that God has a greater
-
plan for you. And it's not just a hole He's interested for you to
-
get involved in, but to be part of a great project and a great
-
plan that God has insult. So don't go around telling people I'm Jess ushering,
-
I'm Jeess digging a hole. I am part of a great plan that
-
God has and trusted me with. Somebody, say amen, Matthew. Chapter
-
six, Let's start with this. Jesus taught us how to pray. This
-
is not Kenneth Chin teaching you. There's not any other guru teaching you.
-
This is the Guru of gurus. Jesus Christ himself, the son of God,
-
is teaching us how to pray. So I've got to believe that he
-
also prays like this when he was on earth. Jesus once I prayed like
-
this, and he taught us how to pray. And out of all these
-
precious words that we can read over and over again, and I believe some
-
of you even memorized, it is this sentence that says, your kingdom come,
-
your will be done. He didn't stop there. He says on earth
-
as it is in heaven. Out of that sentence we find God's perfect will
-
for us that His kingdom wants to come. His will needs to be done
-
not just in heaven, but on earth as it is in heaven. Very
-
important to know the purpose why God saved us and put us here on earth.
-
It is not just to go back to heaven and know a lot of
-
Christians want to go back to have it. A lot of the older ones
-
maybe say I, oh, die better, ah, die better, so
-
I can go to a better place. And at every funeral we will here.
-
Ninety percent of the time we say he or she is in a better
-
place. And it's true. It's a beautiful place. It's a marvelous place.
-
It's an awesome place. There is a purpose not just to save us
-
and bring us back to heaven, but to leave us here. You know,
-
during the pandemic, the Lord told me that Kenneth, I want to
-
prepare you for healing and miracles. And so I spend a lot of time
-
studying, praying, researching, watching a lot of videos. Most of the
-
videos I didn't let me back to America with Kenneth Hagen and all these names.
-
You know, there's a founder of a really, really good university,
-
Christian university there that's called All Roberts or Roberts are you a tell you this
-
one shotler, you know, because all Roberts are. I remember when there
-
was a stadium event and he prayed for everybody, then turned off all the
-
lights. As the night was over and he's walking out, he saw light
-
at another room. It was an overflow room because it was just so packed.
-
But he realized there was a young boy waiting inside still, so he
-
walked into that room and he says, young man, who are you waiting
-
for? He says, I'm waiting for All Roberts. And so all Roberts
-
said, I'm he. I think the boy could recognize because you know,
-
from that big hall sometimes you're very small when you're on stage, right,
-
So oh, All Roberts, I'm waiting for you because you didn't pray for
-
me yet. And this boy was in a wheelchair and he had no legs.
-
Both of his legs stopped at the knee. Uh. And All Roberts
-
was very tired by the already his prey for hundreds, but he wanted to,
-
you know, oblige because this young boy. Everybody's gone home waited for
-
Roberts. And you know the guy stories are when you research and you read
-
it. Watch it. You guys are encouraged them because rob said, what
-
can I do for you? But before Roberts even laid hands on this young
-
boy, he's about but ten eleven, Roberts saw one pair of shoes.
-
The boy came with a pair of shoes because he believed he was going to
-
walk out. All Roberts he almost had tears in his eyes because of the
-
faith of the young men, and all Roberts just you know, did like
-
what he usually does, and just lay hands on his young boy's head and
-
said, Lord, give to this young man what he came for. Very
-
simple prayer. And as he prayed, he looked down and he saw a
-
bone growing out on both sides. And the bone grew down, uh,
-
and the muscles began to cut curve around, and and as he curved around,
-
he saw veins coming out, and and and and and then muscles formings
-
that said, and then sinews and and then it came down. And then
-
after right after that that, the skin began to cover the legs, and
-
he went all the way down. All Roberts said that he saw toes coming
-
up right and a robust couldn't couldn't just couldn't keep his emotions. He started
-
to you know, he started to cry because it was this young man's faith.
-
And then he put his feet in the shoes and it fits. You
-
know. Yeah, when you go through a hundred stories like that, you
-
know, your face just get lifted up and you go like, Lord,
-
why not Malaysia? Right? And so I'm a pastor. I want you
-
to know that it's getting ready for revival. And I believe that's why we
-
do Tuesday prayer and we and we and we've seen some cancer patients heal.
-
We've seen some people heal of different things that medicine can, you know.
-
But uh, you know, in God's will and wisdom, he doesn't choose
-
to answer all our prayers sometimes, you know, and then he has a
-
better way sometimes. But you know, we just we just submit to the
-
Lord and we just have faith, continue to have faith. Benson Ida Josa
-
was another one because most of the videos, I didn't let me to America
-
one or two to U. K. Smith. Wigglesworth was another one who
-
raised his wife up from the dead. You know he heard of that,
-
sorry, right, you know, the wife died at the steps of the
-
house and he was ministering somewhere up upstairs or another another unit, and people
-
came up to Smith Wigglesworth and said, Psmith, your wife is dead.
-
He says, take her up to my room. So they carried her dead
-
body up to the bedroom upstairs, and he finished ministering, praying for people.
-
He doesn't pray for people twice, right, because he says, you
-
have no faith. You don't stand in line if you want to be prayed
-
twice. This is Smith wi wiggus Worth. That so you learn some characters.
-
Alla, you gotta say, I pray for you once day. He
-
got heard it. Okay, now if you ask me to pray for you
-
twice that way, because I'm notst me Smith because okay. But he raised
-
up about seventeen people from the dead and his wife was one of them.
-
So he went upstairs. His wife is lifeless. On the bed, he
-
says, I rebuke the spirit of death. Wake up, And so she
-
woke up. And then she said to her husband, well, you woke
-
me up. I was in the presence of Jesus. Say yeah, but
-
you haven't said goodbye to me. So he talked for a while and then
-
she said goodbye, and then okay, go to sleep. So she slept
-
back into the presence of God and said, oh, no, you forgot
-
to tell us something. Wife, wake up in Jesus name. She woke
-
up seven times. He woke her up the day, so he's all recorded
-
in the books, and he woke her up. Then only by the seventh
-
time, after he said what he had to say, she said, what
-
he is? She said, she said, you got to let me go.
-
I belong in the presence of Jesus. It's okay, go right.
-
Then she left. So another time we know there was a there was a
-
dead man who was redate for three days like the four days. He was
-
behind the screen. And Smith Wigglesworth comes comes to the funeral, doesn't talk
-
to anybody because the Bible says that talk to no man on the way,
-
So he really talked to no man. He want people say hi, Smith,
-
don't don't talk because he's the man just obeity. He doesn't. He
-
doesn't read any books. He cannot read. He cannot read. He only
-
can read the Bible. So he opens the Bible go only gives him eyes
-
to read the Bible, and he can't even read in new paper. Okay,
-
so I mean, okay, so I took three years right to watch
-
all these videos. Uh, pandemic, pandemic. So so he comes he
-
will click. He don't even say anything to the family, you know,
-
just goes behind the curtain to the coffin, says, wake up. He
-
tries to wake up. He holds the man's suitor and pulls him out.
-
No smith, because he was six foot four and big guy. So he
-
pulls him out of the coffin. I know none of you want to be
-
in the car funeral, pulls him up because good just because yes, because
-
God told him, pulls him up, takes him to the wall in Jesus
-
name, stand up, you know. So he took him out and banging
-
him against the wallace seven times, six times that he's just going down like
-
a dead man to the floor seven times. He wakes up and then he
-
brings it okay, I've done my job, brings you out to the wife,
-
present him back, see you. He just walks out because the Bible
-
says, speak to no man on the way. And then after lttle on
-
that time minutes he came back. Then then he thought, he how are
-
you everything? Okay? How come earlier? You don't want to talk to
-
anybody. That's now God says, don't talk now I can talk because I
-
now coming in second time. Second time is all right. So you know,
-
I love it because our God never changes. We change our faith,
-
change our belief change. God doesn't change the same God, who part of
-
the red sea is still alive today, got to have faith. Actually,
-
suddenly this message message changed to faith you know, and said something else.
-
Okay, I'll get there. I'll get there. Ben said, you know
-
Hosa was you know Benson Hosa. So my video research led me to Benin,
-
Benin of Nigeria, and there's a man. Wow, I tell you
-
this man. He said, you heard his pastor preach and the Passa said
-
Jesus raises the day. So he comes to his pastor and says, is
-
it true, Passa that Jesus raises his day? He says, yes,
-
it's true. Have you raised the day? The Passa said no, I
-
haven't, But but the Bible says that. The Bible says a. Masticha
-
says, okay, so but you can try if you want to. He
-
okay, Pasta, I'll go and try and come back and tell you.
-
So he goes out cycling okay. I think the time he was maybe seventeen
-
eighteen or whatever, maybe nineteen, cycling to find a funeral. Fine,
-
and then he saw one. He saw one. He walked in there to
-
the family. Can I pray for the dad? Family said get out,
-
you know, young man, you crazy or what? Go away? So
-
he cycled again to look for that one. Then he saw commotion happening in
-
one village, so we cycled there. Oh. Someone told him this lady
-
Jess was a daughter, you know, about twelve hours ago, and it's
-
wailing. You know, people could hear it. And so he said,
-
okaykayah, come come put his biccle down, and then he went. He
-
went and he told the lady, I want to pray for your daughter.
-
And she's wailing, she's holding a daughter. You know you are you're crazy?
-
Go away, you know, say no, no, no, I
-
want to pray, you know. And she said in her mind she's thinking,
-
you know, you can't lose her, right, you can't lose that.
-
Let's get somebody pray for you. He's not even a pasta, he's
-
not anything, no a ches leader. He ran, he picked up the
-
girl and he only remember what Jesus did Jesus is Talita to me. To
-
me in in Indonesia is so tom to me to me means you know but
-
anyway you know it's it's true. Say, I'm teaching you language today to
-
me, but Talisa to me is a young girl. I tell you now,
-
all rise, So here is a Taliita to me like, oh,
-
he's not his language, but he only knows the word of God. So
-
Talita to me, no breath. Taliit that to me, no breath.
-
He said, Oh God, please show me that. He came me down,
-
told it that to me. Okay, he said he did eleven twelve
-
times, and then the girl coughed and woke up, and then he presented
-
her to the mother and the whole village came to know the Lord from that
-
girl to I think when Benson Benson Yeahsa died at fifty nine, he was
-
sitting down with his friends eating and he says, how any of you would
-
like to go to heaven with me today? Yeah, that's also recorded.
-
That's what recorded. How are you going with? And then all the professors
-
because he built a Bible school, but said he also built a Bible school
-
in Benin and uh, they said nola, you know, not no loud.
-
They're not talking Malaysia. No, no, not tonight, no.
-
No. He come on, Benson, no, I feel like I'm ready
-
for heaven, you know. And then he went took some coffee to come,
-
come, come, come, come around. Let's sit at this come
-
more comfortable seat, he said, at his you know, his like so
-
far seat. He sat there and he says, I'm ready for heaven.
-
He closed his eyes and he went and so they thought he was just wrestling.
-
So then they had to come to weak because he wasn't respon. So
-
as they tried to wake him up, he's already gone. So he even
-
even he's going, or so he's pronouncing it when he's going. So it's
-
quite amazing. And I'll give you one more which I really like. And
-
I told the first service or so there was through Benin there was going to
-
be a conference. Five thousand witches and warlots. We're going to come.
-
It's going to be the biggest conference for witches and wallots in the whole world.
-
Never such a big conference. The leader of the conference was boasting,
-
you know that this is the biggest Benson either host, I said, this
-
is my land God gave me Benin, and there's no place for witches and
-
wallots, if you read the Bible, is not allowed. They said.
-
The leader look at Benin and look at the Benson and said, even if
-
your God come down today, he cannot stop us and Benson either. Host
-
I said, my God doesn't have to come down because I'm here. I
-
don't know how many of you Christians are going to catch that confidence that God
-
left you here for a reason. Don't ask him to do what you are
-
supposed to do. Don't ask him to preach the gospel when you are supposed
-
to preach the gospel. Don't ask him to heal the sick. But when
-
he asked you to lay hands on the sick and heal them in His name?
-
Are you with me? Too? Many of us are living like God
-
has to do it all over again for you. And that makes you babies,
-
right because mature people don't have their parents doing same things for them.
-
Mom, I just you know, did a booboo in my pampers? Can
-
you please come wash me? But you're fifty five, mom My pampers is
-
weird by your forty five. You know what I'm trying to say, Mom,
-
Come and wash me right. But you know you get what I'm trying
-
to say. I won't get so gross if you can't your baby. And
-
we don't want baby Christians. Now, thank God for baby Christians. We
-
want, but we must make them in two children and sons and of the
-
most I God, everybody. Okay, So Benson the host, I said,
-
I my God doesn't have to come down. I'm here. I'm here,
-
I'm here. You gotta go back to your school. I say,
-
you know, Jesus has doesn't have to come down in his glory and angels
-
all blowing trumpets are I'm here. I'm supposed to do what God has called
-
me to do. I had the power in me, the Holy Spirit to
-
change environments and situations and relationships. I have the power in my mouth.
-
There's power of life and death in the mouth. They boys say, okay,
-
power. You got to believe what the Bible speaks about you and me.
-
So they had an interview that on television, national television. You can
-
google this I if you want to. Benson either Horsa and the warlord leader
-
and you know the guy in the middle as a host in this national TV
-
station, said maybe I'll bring some peace and let them argue the thing and
-
then hopefully we get to see Benson's point, we get to see the warlot
-
leader's point. Okay, Benson wasn't there for entertainment. He said, you
-
are not going to have this in my land. He said, you cannot
-
stop it. This is the biggest this is, this is this will bring
-
tourism to Benin. And then Benzon says, we don't need this card tourism
-
because God's word says no way there can be witches and walleots. So I
-
say, talking for I don't know about half an hour, forty five minutes.
-
Finally Benson had enough. He said, okay, he brought the Bible.
-
See my Bible says if you are a warlot and a witch, then
-
you are going to die. The Bible says death or the samonar death to
-
witches and wallots. I only have one question before this interview ends. Would
-
you like to confess that you are a warlot and which now on National TV?
-
Because if you're willing to, you will die here on the spot.
-
I mean, you don't mess around with a man of water and he's being
-
you would die here. So I'm gonna ask you one question, are you
-
a wallot? Yes or no? I tell you because benson reputation had passed,
-
Hima has gone beyond him. The wallet says, no, I'm not
-
because people who have died have lived again. People who have lived have died.
-
And I remember one more story. I mean this, Probably you can
-
fire about fifty stories about Benson. You know, a man fell from the
-
from the third floor, whatever it is, hit his head on the ground
-
and broke his skull. The brains came out, and Benson comes and picks
-
up the brain, puts it back into the head, praised over the skull.
-
The skull forms back, he wakes up and he lives. You know,
-
you're talking about just pure faith and pure power, and the influence was
-
so great that Benin now until today has in their constitution that is illegal to
-
do witchcraft in Benin, illegal to have warlots because of one man who knew
-
his purpose, God's plan and the power that lives in him. There were
-
times are there was one guy who came. They were about to build a
-
church, so they put things on the land to say, okay, this
-
is where the lobby will be, this will be where the sanctuary will be.
-
So they put like stakes, and one government official came and he went
-
around taking up the stakes because he says, this is illegal. You cannot
-
build a church here. So Bensa is either I heard it, and he
-
said I'm going to go and see him. So he went down to the
-
field and said what are you doing. He says, you are not supposed
-
to be here. You cannot build a church here. He says, you
-
are not taking my stakes, you are taking God's stakes. Do you want
-
to answered to him or not? And the guy says, I don't care
-
who your God is and say, well, you will have to care very
-
soon. I right now cancel your job now in Jesus name, and he
-
walks away. The guy goes back and he gets sacked by his boss for
-
what reason. So this this he can, he can cancel your job.
-
And he's done it. If you, if you watch a many videos that
-
he's done it, like ten times. He will go to the government office
-
and say, whoever the boss is there, who's disturbing the church this week?
-
You will be sacked And then he walks away and and that that yourself,
-
that person will be sacked. So there is power in our mouth,
-
and there is power. So I want to say to you right now,
-
guys, if some of you are probably thinking, wow, quite drastica,
-
well, I hope what you're hearing is not just the words of Bensonidos.
-
I hope what you're catching is that we truly have got power in us to
-
make the difference, and that going to church every Sunday is not just for
-
a nice message. Is to go away understanding that you have a place,
-
that you have a plan, that you have a purpose in God, and
-
not to hide away and run away from your responsibility. Actually, I've been
-
trying this a little bit more, you know, I've been trying this a
-
little bit more. And I don't go into details, but just recently,
-
you know, I need favor from the government for something. So I you
-
know, in over the twenty one days, I didn't pray, no,
-
I spoke it. It's a difference in pray and speaking it. So I
-
said, God, I thank you for what you've given me. And now
-
I want to say, I need this license, right, I need this
-
particular thing, And so I say license. According to Romans for seventeen,
-
God who calls the dead to life and call those things that do not exist
-
as though they did I now call that license forth. It's very exciting because
-
I met a guy at camp and he said, past, I'm be following
-
you on Facebook, uh, and I really like what you do. And
-
then he asked me about, you know, some of the things I'm doing
-
and one particular thing that needs a license. And then he says, Uh,
-
I just want to let you know that if you need a license,
-
my neighbor is, uh, the head of the licensing department of the ministry,
-
and he says, if you want to, I'll put you through.
-
So I want to say to you that we're not just supposed to sit down
-
and shake our leg and hope for things to happen. We're supposed to speak
-
into things to happen. Everybody, Okay, speak into your situation, speaking
-
to your children, speaking to your back scadden children, speaking to your grandchildren,
-
speaking to your your family. Uh and uh. And I tell you
-
it's going to be It's gonna be good. So this is the plan.
-
The plan is your kingdom Come, Your will be done on earth and is
-
as it is in heaven. Yesterday's sports day. It was really nice in
-
oasis. And you know what happened. We built lines at the drew lines
-
on the field on the field and we were ready quite late, Albert going
-
out there for the final relay four by one hundred relay. But God,
-
we said to God, God, you know, please give us good weather.
-
And we say, you know, because you know why, it's very
-
hard to run or do anything on a wet field. And it's been raining
-
almost every day, you know, But it didn't rain on Friday night,
-
and he didn't rain on Saturday morning. Because we're supposed to be able to
-
speak into things. And what happened was the last runner for the four by
-
one hundred and then we clap and then it was no, I don't know
-
whether it was Mayrah group Mayra that run. Then everyone is supposed to go
-
back into the hall. As we're walking back to the hall at the first
-
drop of rain, second drop drop and all of us are already inside the
-
hall. And then it rains like cats and dogs. I literally saw and
-
retriever coming down. God can make away where there seems to be no way.
-
So let me tell you about this plan. Let me go straight to
-
the plan, the plan, the plan of God, the vision that that's
-
what the slide says, what's God's dream? For all of us. Well,
-
Number one, he wanted to spread heaven on earth. Heaven was just
-
too good to enjoy himself. It's too beautiful, too wonderful. I think
-
all of us in this room want to go to heaven. But he wanted
-
to build heaven on earth. Okay, So the word is spread. Sometimes
-
it can happen now that the message is so boring that people can fall asleep.
-
And Daniel's gone up to check. All right, So the first slide
-
is spread. So God was so you ask any successful business man, they
-
also want to franchise their business. God work was a successful God, and
-
he said to himself, I want to I want to spread heaven on earth.
-
So what he did was he shared his image with us. And the
-
Bible says that God made man in his own image. Now, you cannot
-
carry out God's kingdom on earth if you do not share God's dna. That's
-
why in the old days they used to call companies Kenneth and Sons, Rogers
-
and sons, Daniel and sons. I don't see very often they say daughters
-
are right, but I must I must say that daughters are also included.
-
Okay, says that it's not we don't used to. We don't know,
-
we're not used seeing it on the on the billboard or whatever or signboard.
-
Okay, but why because fathers can trust in their sons and mothers, you
-
know, in their sons and their daughters. And so you want to when
-
you build a big company, give it to people who understand your heart.
-
And sometimes it can also be that you're not a biological son, but you
-
are a spiritual son, and you can actually you know, the boss gives.
-
Listen, those of you are in business, you know what I'm talking
-
about. You usually give over your business when you're old and you're retiring hot,
-
not to just anyone, because you spend your life building this. So
-
you give it to people who understand your heart, who has your heart,
-
who loves what you do. You want to do that, and you feel
-
very scared. I use that word for now, to give it to someone,
-
even if it is your biological son but doesn't have your heart, You
-
find it heart to give it to your son. Are you with me?
-
God wanted to give heaven on earth to his sons and to his daughters.
-
So it's very important to understand that we were made in the image of God.
-
But the devil wanted to spoil that and totally corrupt our image and totally
-
you know, spoil the identity that we are to have in God. Anyway,
-
God wanted to spread his business, his kingdom on earth. He put
-
his sons and daughters on the earth, shared his image with them so that
-
they had their God's DNA. And now with God's DNA, you can you
-
can build heaven on earth. And finally to show his glory. So we
-
have spread, we have share, we have show. Now let me talk
-
about the porthole. The pothole is the bad news. Now why do we
-
start with bad news? Because if you don't know the bad news, you
-
will never appreciate the good news. Right, Oh, I got good news
-
for you. I now have a can chill. And half of you laugh
-
at this young man because he didn't say tesla, he say can chill.
-
You only understood that every Sunday he walked to church for ten miles and a
-
can chill is like a pochet. Right. If you knew the bad news,
-
then you appreciate the good news. Otherwise, oh, come chill?
-
So what right? Oh, Jesus died on the cross, until you know
-
that he was the only way, and without him, all of us are
-
doomed to Hell. I known't raise at them creatures ever use that word anymore
-
because it's not political correct. But hey, there is a hell. There's
-
a place without Christ, without love, without light, and it's eternal punishment.
-
There is a real hell, and people without Christ go there. So
-
it's hard to say it, sad to say it, but it's true.
-
And that's why Jesus came all the way to make a way. He is
-
the Way, the Truth, and the life. I you also you with
-
me. So the bad news Number one is there is a Satan. Satan
-
is very real. Okay, I don't want to glorify him by talking about
-
him today, but I have to take a few minutes to remind you that
-
there is an enemy and his major purpose is to see that you do not
-
live according to gods plans. Number two is sin. Now, Sin is
-
very different from Satan. Satan is what you have external. Satan is on
-
the outside. He is sometimes called the tempter, so he can only come
-
and tempt you from the outside. However, you know that when you're doing
-
a twenty one day of fast and prayer, it is those days that the
-
quay looks better than other days, and your fasting quay. It is those
-
days that your friends say, let's go and eat banana, leave rice,
-
and you're fasting rice. It is those days, right that you know Starbucks
-
comes out with a favorite drink. Is those days, I tell you what,
-
it's crazy, but it's those The devil his job job is to tempt,
-
but he can only tempt on the outside. The devil comes, he
-
does, he does, has no control on the inside, unless, of
-
course, you open the door for him. Then maybe he messes you up
-
on inside. But God does not allow the devil to do that. He
-
tempts, he temps, he's always on the outside. The sin problem is
-
not the outside, is the inside. So if you have a sin problem,
-
don't blame the quay, because sin has got to do with desire.
-
Look at the next scripture. The next scripture says what each one is tempted
-
when he's drawn away by what his own desires. So all sin starts with
-
desire. If you do not have any desire for smoking Elijah, which I
-
look at your face, I don't see any your father's not here, any
-
sign your father was saying the morning, So I didn't use you as you
-
as an example. But there's there's not a thing I can't even smell smot
-
on you. You know. Yeah, if you have no desire, even
-
if ten people spoke around you are you're not tempted. But if there's a
-
desire, right like I really had no desire for shopping, I know some
-
ladies are you looking at me like, pass, I don't go there,
-
please, I don't have. I don't have. I don't I go shopping
-
because I have a wife, and our wives need this air. They can
-
only be found in a shopping center. And almost every shopping center has got
-
this air, and some of the newer ones there's fresher. So I told
-
my wife to TRX. Yeah yeah, wah. I tell you I'm okay
-
with a section called husband backing, because I will go immediately there and I'll
-
say to my wife, take your time, take your time. I'll be
-
waiting here for you, standing next to you, not waiting for you.
-
But my wife says, no further. You must come with me and feel
-
the fabric as I feel it. You know. The command to Adam was
-
do not eat the fruit. The command to Eve was do not eat,
-
do not even touch it because the Lord made women to be human beings of
-
touch. So if you read the scripture, you find in Genesis Eve saying
-
to Satan, God said don't eat, don't even touch. But that same
-
word was not given to Adam. And see, men are tempted while their
-
eyes. That's why when they're they're selling cows burger, they have to sell
-
a girl next to it or so with long sleep going up here, because
-
you don't nobody. You're selling the bill, you're selling the woman. But
-
the eyes, the guy's eyes, the woman is touched. They must touch.
-
That's why guys can when the women go shopping with the guy nice and
-
not right, or if the guys is nice or not, we just go
-
nice buyer guys waiting chai wan byer what the girls are very quiet bye.
-
But but for the lady, this is this is very important. They must
-
go and feel. After they feel everything you need, don't buy uson of
-
mine, right, guys, we go straight, go straight right now,
-
underway goes straight to the shop. Ah, you're calling it. Really,
-
this is my size double xl N new way to double al Yeah, okay
-
we go in boom out uh huh so okay, it's how it's it starts
-
to see. The desire itself is not wrong. The Bible doesn't call it
-
wrong. But when you act on your pornography starts with a desire. If
-
you have no desire for pornography, you never go to it. Never,
-
you never go to a Yeah, you asked a young kid to watch.
-
Don't don't please don't do that. Please please please don't ever do that.
-
But young kids are even when you ask about girlfriend boyfriend, and I know
-
you, especially boys three or four, your this you one girlfriend? Ah?
-
You ask girls, okay, different way we made differently, We made
-
differently, made differently young girls. Anything about the wedding dress a e right
-
at three years old, she's thinking about twenty three the boy? Ah,
-
boys like really, you know mature later than the girl. Okay, we
-
all know that. Yeah, let's not do all on it. But you
-
are not desire. So it's inside we get messed up inside money. You
-
want money? Then we blame Satan a right, why he puts in a
-
port into Malaysia. We blame this, We blame that. We blame Satan
-
for something that's inside. You squeeze an orange apple, juice doesn't come out.
-
Whatever you squeeze, whatever is inside will come out. So there is
-
a problem. This, this pothole, ladies and gentlemen, is very deep.
-
Some of the portholes in Malaysia, I've heard before. The people don't
-
come to fix it, so they go and put plants. Have you said,
-
mango plant, papaya plant, And then when the plant is growing out
-
of the porthole, then you need the MPHG carb or whatever. Hey,
-
do the rote down. You didn't fix this porthole in ten years. Now
-
do that now. Let's all I enjoy it right in the middle of the
-
street, the deep pothole called sin the desire. And we have no control
-
over it over women. For some of these men, you know, can't
-
you know you got you got one of the fruit of the spirit is self
-
self, one of the fruit of the spirit. You got. You gotta
-
nail it from the beginning, not all of us, succila. Okay,
-
I also have fallen before. But I know where it starts. It starts.
-
I am not into smoking. So ten people can smoke next to me.
-
Usually they don't like because I called them. I say, it's another
-
place of smoke, going smoke there. Okay, go ahead, die there
-
yourself because it's the second hand smoking as the one that's bat now. Yeah,
-
but I have no desire at all, no desire. I I like
-
golf. I like golf. I even got a golf set half set,
-
But I I really have no desire to walk so so much. You know,
-
by people have invited me to golf causes for lunch that I go where
-
you've been in this morning golf golf. Um, so check your desire,
-
check your desire. Okay, so Satan is outside, right, Come on,
-
no money women, you know pornography, right, and you will not
-
be affected if you don't have the deser. Lord, check my desire,
-
Lord, help my desire. Lord, renew my desire. Lord, cleanse
-
my desire. Lord, give me a greater desire for you, so that
-
all these other desires might might lessen. Oh, there's a porthole, friends,
-
there's a porthole, young and old in this room, there's a porthole.
-
There's a porthole. So if you want to be rich so quickly is
-
a desire to be rich? And the Bible says be careful because the love
-
of money will kill you. Not money go kill you. The love of
-
money you will kill you eyboy, Okay, well I'm dwelling on this sole
-
long because it's a potholer. Yeah. Therefore the next scripture says, just
-
as through one man, sin entered the world. Yeah, that's right,
-
Adam and death through sin. Yeah, death, and thus death spread to
-
all men, So all men have seen all of us. He come through.
-
You don't come through the lineage, the lineage, the lineage right.
-
Sometimes you say you go to a doctor, the doctor asks you, oh,
-
you got this problem straight? We ask you, your grandfather has God?
-
Not your grandfather got diabetes? Not right? Even doctors understand lineage.
-
No, you understand lineage. Your great grandfather, your your your grand your
-
your mother got cancer because they want to find out right lineage and and and
-
we are more exposed. Were now lineage all the way to great grandpa great
-
great great great grandpa. H he also had uh Alzheimer's, so doctors asked.
-
And it's an accepted thing that lineage is very powerful. And as a
-
lineage that goes all the way back to Adam, the first man, his
-
sin and sin has come into all of us. Is a disease. It's
-
inside of us and no nothing on the outside can ever clean. What's on
-
the inside. A lot of people are trying, you know. They put
-
oranges, candles, they put you know, a suckling pick, They put
-
all kinds of things on the outside. But the real problem is on there.
-
Come on inside. So you need someone to come inside. That's why
-
when we accept Jesus, we see Jesus come into mind. You me,
-
it's not an external answer for an internal problem. You cannot answer internal problem
-
with external answers. Jesus is both external because he died in flesh and he
-
has become a spirit in the form of his Holy Spirit. He comes into
-
us because the real problem is in us. Oh my god, there is
-
a big pothole, and if you don't have the patch up, we are
-
all doomed. Okay, let's look at it. What else do we have
-
here before I close separation? That's right. So Satan said to Eve blah
-
blah blah. Eve look at the fruit and say wow, wow wow.
-
Eve turned to a husband and say, hey, I've taken a bite,
-
why don't you? And of course Adam was we heard shopping, and I
-
was kiddy. So he said, oh this is nice. Okay. So
-
sin, disobedience, sin death came into the world. For the wages of
-
sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ,
-
our Lord Romans six twenty three. For all of sin and fallen short
-
of the glory of God Romans tree twenty three. We know this. There's
-
no escape, but one way. There's only one way. We are all
-
set from God. I told the morning service this morning, the early morning
-
service, I should say, I said Jesus paid the price of separation,
-
because he says Eli eli Lama sabakhtani. You know, one time my Bible
-
schoolar someone asked the question, no, that's Jesus speaking tongues and this persons,
-
Yes, I show you Eli Lama sabbat true story, but you know
-
wrong answer. Eli eli Lama Sabatani means, oh, my God, my
-
God, why have you forsaken me? And for all eternity? Jesus a
-
son, holy spirit, the Father has never been separated. They always won.
-
And because of our sin and because of the sin put on Jesus,
-
he now gets separated. Because the Father cannot look on sin, he turns
-
his face away and Jesus has to cry out, why have you forsaken me?
-
I think the nails were not as painful as a separation, because he's
-
never been separated. But we call we our sin cause the separation, so
-
that we do not ever need to be separated again. It is true his
-
separation that we are reconcile, and given the ministry of reconsendation. Everyone's y
-
okay, this is bad, newspeople. This is porthole to the maximum.
-
But here we go. Let's look at good news. Now the patch up.
-
Oh, finally, finally, the patch up comes. Okay, the
-
whole machinery of heaven comes to this Jala. They have a different kind of
-
tar in the lorry, is a tar that's not black. It's red because
-
it's the blood of Jesus, and it comes to fix this deep hole that
-
causes life to be in such a bad shape. Everybody is slowing down and
-
not living life to the full. Can't drive your ferrari on this highway because
-
it's full of potholes. But then Jesus comes. Jesus comes, and the
-
good news starts with there is a savior. Somebody say, amen, his
-
name is Jesus. Oh, I'm like preaching the possible to you all over
-
again. He said in John fourteen six. I am the Way, the
-
Truth, and the Life. Can you finish the sentence? No one comes
-
to the Father except through me? Did he say, no one comes to
-
heaven except through me. No, because heaven is not the main thing that
-
God saved you for, and too many of us are just waiting to go
-
back to heaven. No, if you have life still on earth, even
-
if you are seventy ages all in this room, then there is a purpose
-
for you to live, and you must live out that purpose, even if
-
it's for one grand child. He said, God, why do you still
-
have me alive until now? I'm a bit sickly, you know, I'm
-
a bit slow and I'm walking. Why? And God could just put in
-
your mind on that grandchild needs you. You need to be here for that
-
grand child. You need to be here for that grandchild's you know whatever,
-
a brother, that grandchild's cousin. Everyone here lives for that one purpose which
-
is eternal in value, and we got we've got to find that. You're
-
gonna say, God, why did you give me this business? Why did
-
you give me so much money? Why did you give me so much context?
-
Why did you give me so mutch favor? Why did you give me
-
a gold membership? Why did you give God? Why did you give me
-
a big car that can take eight people instead of just two? And if
-
you're still driving a big eight sitter car just two people, and you gotta
-
ask yourself a question, you know, why are you living a prodigal life,
-
which means a wasteful life? Because God has a purpose and a plan
-
for everything. And when we catch that, we're gonna be so full of
-
life and meaning and purpose and joy, and the joy of the Lord will
-
be our strength. So he didn't say come to heaven. He said,
-
I am the way truth in life. So follow me right and I will
-
bring you to the Father. That means here on earth we can already have
-
a relationship with the Father because it's not about save, go to heaven,
-
save go to heaven. Say no, it's safe. Come to the Father
-
and come back and be his son, because it was meant to be like
-
that from the start. I gave you my image so that you become my
-
son. And only as my son can you handle heaven on earth because you
-
will know how to handle heaven because you are part of heaven and heaven is
-
part of you. But too many people say it's a salvation. That's why
-
sometimes if we don't get it right, we want to just lead people into
-
a salvation prayer and everything our job is done. But a salvation prayer or
-
evangelism is not the job. The job is discipleship. That's why he says,
-
you go Hi, because got one's sons and daughters, and leave heaven
-
on earth for you to take care so that he doesn't always have to come.
-
You can lead it. He put Adam in the garden and say you
-
keep it intended, meaning you manage it. Sons and sons, according to
-
Romans eight fourteen, are people who are led by the spirit. You know
-
how you start as a child of God. You start as a child.
-
In John one twelve, it says, but as many as received him to
-
them, he gave the right the right to be children of God. So
-
you start as what children, But you mature to become sons and daughters.
-
But how do you become such a daughters? You are led by the spirit.
-
Does the spirit only lead you bent to heaven? He leads you here
-
on earth to know what to do in school, to know what to do
-
in college, to know what to do with your exams or whatever it is.
-
That day I went to an Indian restaurant. My wife and I love
-
Indian food. I don't know. People think that I'm Indian on inside.
-
Anytime you say Indian, I'm on. I remember going out that time to
-
this restaurant in one week. I don't know why. I know Chapatti just
-
hit me, hit me bad. And so I went and I ordered.
-
I ordered, and they thought that was all I ordered. But another waiter
-
came and I ordered some more, because one chapatio enough for this beautiful body.
-
I ordered a Rava dose. Yeah, and the guy said, you'll
-
take ten minutes, sir, I said, never mind, I got time.
-
Then I ordered something else. Stay hi here, okay. I know
-
lands time is coming and some of you are saying, please faster, faster,
-
faster, finish, keep talking about food. Yeah. I'm closing my
-
message with food, so okay. And after that, I went to pay
-
this one. You have to go to the counter to pay, and made
-
them is there, Madam ah Madam is there? She's looking at me.
-
She says yes. I said, antie, I want to pay, okay.
-
She gives me bill hallok the bill in my heart. I'm shouting hallelujah,
-
because it's strange ring it for so much food. Then I read my
-
bill closer I realized they didn't put three items on the bill. Now for
-
some of you, you say hallelujah. Please God, God blind the eyes
-
of those who see. Thank you for helping me save Lord, so I
-
can give you the offering. Hey, God does the one his offerer because
-
he belongs to somebody else. So say, Auntie, something wrong here.
-
Immediately when you say something wrong, they get defensive. What And I said
-
no, no, no, Auntie, and I ate more than this?
-
Then your eyes open? What now? What is different? But the first
-
what? The first? What is? Don't tell me one sense? The
-
second? What is? Huh? Is this real? You're telling me that
-
you eat more? I said, Auntie, Yes. Then she talking tongues
-
with have they tom me? Binders together, Lord binders. That's the only
-
Indian song I know. Binders together will love, Binders together, will love.
-
Hey. I was in a Dinna Carror meeting, and until today I
-
cannot forget the song binders together, Lord Binders together, Lord binders. There
-
is only one God, you know, so there is only one key,
-
There is only one body. There is why we sing behind these together the
-
Lord by the Indians love. Do you hear me sing? No? Really,
-
I go to India supposed to sing that song, sing a song behind
-
these together, Lord by, in these together with love? Most of them
-
we say love not love. But it's okay, we understand. So I
-
So she's like, hey, tell me and the dumb oh you know,
-
madam, and then found out, oh yeah, then another way say yea,
-
yea yeah. Hereat three more things. So from twenty twenty two ring
-
twenty fifty and went up to forty and all three of them you had to
-
count. They couldn't believe that I didn't just walk out because I want to
-
tell you I represent a different kingdom. I am a son of the Living
-
most High God who doesn't sweat over another twenty ringit savings when it's wrong.
-
They expect people to just walk out not paying even don't say pay the bill.
-
You know? Are you with me? I'm gonna show you a slide
-
in a while that it will tell you this is the way you gotta live.
-
Let's let's look in the next flight. Yeah, it's not just servanthood
-
is ownership. I don't have time. I don't have time for this.
-
Okay, So sorry, I wouldn't want to go deeper with you. But
-
let's let's go into purpose now, purpose, Okay, here we go,
-
Here we go, Just go go on, all right, don't worry about
-
this. I think many Christians that lookup to heaven right, look up to
-
heaven. That's what that scripture is. Okay, the tough disciples after Jesus
-
went back to heaven, they all looked up, looked up heaven. Ever,
-
I want to go back to heaven. And then the Angel came and
-
said hello to me. Stop looking at everyone. There are things do though.
-
Okay, Roman Thandr sent we al most understand that there is a purpose
-
for our lives, and we are all sent to that challenge that you're staying
-
on, to that neighborhood, to that school. Please don't start complaining about
-
that school. There's a reason why you're there, University, whoever, whatever,
-
Oh, you are sent. If it's not you, then who If
-
it's not now, then when next one? We gotta finish? All right,
-
very long, But it just says we are given the ministry of reconciliation
-
next one, please Stuart correct, we're all called to be managers if we
-
mismanage anything. I want to tell you right now, we will lose it.
-
But if you manage things well that God has given you, and that's
-
your purpose. God put Adam in the to tend it and keep it,
-
meaning that you are a manager. And you know who didn't catch it immediately
-
can remembers a brother that says, am I my brother's keeper. Am I
-
my brother's keeper, cain Abel. God said you are going to be here
-
to keep And the one who doesn't understand that plan will say, am I
-
my brother's keeper. What's the answer. Yes, I gave you a wife,
-
take care of her. You mismanage your marriage, you lose it.
-
You mismanage your money, you lose it. You mismanaged your talents, you
-
lose it. You mismanage your health, you lose it. It's all about
-
managing. And God called us and put us in garden to manage it.
-
Manage this earth, keep it. Be good stewards, and anything we manage
-
will grow. Somebody say, amen, anything we manage, you know will
-
be good. It will be good on the end. You manage your studies
-
well, you will do well. Manage your relationships well, you will do
-

in a different kingdom, and it's his kingdom. Come to Madame Leilas and
-
his will be done in Madame li Las as it is in heaven. I
-
need to walk around showing people because of Jesus. This is how marriages work.
-
I'm not perfect, my wife is not perfect, but we have Heaven
-
in us and we can show people a little bit more. There's a different
-
spirit. Come on, different spirit. I don't live by the spirit of
-
the world. I live by the spirit of God. And when people see
-
me live like that, see you live like that. Extra tikepuny, Come
-
and listen to me. They want it as well. They want it.
-
You go to restaurants and you respect even the waiters. They go like,
-
what's what's this. I remember one of my friends in Houston, so he
-
had about fifteen people around the table and they were eating, and the waitress
-
was very kind to them. Whatever they wanted. Water, eyes with our
-
eyes, extra plates, extra colories. She's running, she's running. And
-
then my friend, his name is Duck Stringer, he's also a preacher.
-
Duck Stringer told me, Kenneth that day, the Holy Spirit told me this
-
girl, this waitress needs something. We were going to leave her twenty dollars
-
tip, which is very generous. Twenty dollars tip, thirty dollars tip,
-
maybe forty, maybe fifty maybe. Instead, you know what, happened,
-
Kenneth. He said, the Holy Speed putty on our hearts to give more.
-
So I passed the head around. He says, I don't know why,
-
but the Holy Speed tells me that this waitress is in need, is
-
in need, so can we pass the head around. You'll just give whatever
-
the Holy Speit tells you. And so they passed the head around and they
-
raised up nine hundred US dollars and then the girl comes. Man signs the
-
bill with his credit card and says, hey, there's something for you.
-
We want to give you a tip. Oh, thank you very much,
-
and then gave her the envelope. And the envelope so thick, right,
-
she's like, and then she of course it was open or so because it
-
was just too thick, too close. So she's like, there's a lot
-
of money. So yeah, that's that's a little bit over nine hundred.
-
And she cried. She cried because she had a desperate need, a bill
-
that she had to pay that very evening before she finished work. She cried.
-
She says, how did you know? Said, I didn't know.
-
I serve a God who knows everything about you. She cried. She couldn't
-
contain her tears. She says, this is the biggest tip I've ever gotten.
-
I said, they said, this is not just a tip, this
-
is from the Lord. We wish we could give you more, but we
-
also are passes and ministers around here, and we don't earn that much.
-
But we gave according to what the Polish peop put on our hearts. She
-
cried again, she thank you, you saved my life. And then the
-
duck stringer said, well not yet, I'm about to save your life.
-
Have you heard about Jesus Christ? And she stood there, all the passes
-
came around her, and she gave her life to Christ. Said one of
-
the most beautiful stories I've ever heard. Showed them. That's all God once
-
is good to do. Wherever you go, right, you are a daughter
-
of Christ. You are a son of Christ. Wherever you go, show
-
the people around you you're not perfect, but show them that there is another
-
kingdom, and I live in that kingdom. There is another way of thinking,
-
and I think that way. There is another There is another reason why
-
I live. There's another higher purpose. I'm not better save twenty ring it
-
and cheat you of the money that belongs to you. No, no,
-
no, there's another kingdom. I'm living by you, understand, And the
-
people get so surprised by seeing it because they never see it on a daily
-
basis. But that's our that's our purpose. We go around not just saving
-
lives. We go around finding for other sons and daughters that God is calling,
-
other sons and daughters that God is calling. And the last scripture up
-
there says for the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of
-
the sons of God. So that day in that restaurant, that waitress didn't
-
even know it, but she was waiting for the revealing of the group of
-
people that came. If they didn't come, she wouldn't have gotten her breakthrough.
-
I want to say to you right now as I close, there are
-
people in your office that's waiting for you to show up. There's people in
-
your school that's waiting for you to stand up. There's people in your neighborhood
-
that's waiting for you to speak up. The whole world is waiting for the
-
revealing of the sons and daughters of God. Where are they? Well,
-
there's a silent majority that just goes on with their daily lives every day earning
-
money and having a good time with their family going on holidays because Asia is
-
cheap, so let's buy it now. It's fine, Fine, do that,
-
It's okay. But there's more to life than just air asia packages.
-
There's more to life than just you know that next new car. You can't
-
take it with you when you die. So I want all of us to
-
understand this because I want us to build for eternity. I want us to
-
have an eternal fear you of life and to begin to sew into things that
-
can never ever be eaten by worms. I see cars being shut away in
-
the floods in Dubai, expensive cars in Dubai. What is it all about
-
at the end of the days? About eternity? And Jesus says to us,
-
sow your treasure in heaven while you're on earth. So your treasures in
-
heaven while you're on earth. We hope you've been blessed by this message.
