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

  2. will light up your tea. All right, I'm going to look at this

  3. verse with us together first, and we're gonna look at this verse. It's

  4. a very familiar verse. You know this verse by heart. I'm sure heard.

  5. Okay, here we go therefore, all right, therefore, do you

  6. want to read the Word of God with me? Yeah, let's read.

  7. Okay, can you can hear your voice? Then you remember you got a

  8. voice? Okay, have requiet? All right, let's read it together.

  9. But that can now, okay, let's read wonder dream. Therefore, do

  10. not worry, but Kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things

  11. shall be added to you. Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow or tomorrow

  12. we'll worry about its ownly sufficient, for the day is its own trouble.

  13. Amen. The reading, Oh God, Amen, hallelujah. Amen A.

  14. What a familiar verse this is? It goes. It starts off by well,

  15. it starts off earlier. If you read the verses before that Jesus was

  16. talking about. You know how the lilies are dressed even so beautifully, more

  17. beautiful than King Solomon's temple and don't worry how tall you will be. You

  18. can't add to your height. I wish I want to be taller. I

  19. always wanted to be taller. My dad's very tall, but I didn't end

  20. up having his height. Ah yeah, okay, And so you can't add

  21. to it. So saying don't worry, all right, it actually says do

  22. not worry about your life. It says, here, look at the birds

  23. of the air. Uh, and they never saw, nor reap, nor

  24. gather, and yet the heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more

  25. value? All right? Tell your friend you are valuable. Ah, tell

  26. your other neighbor. If you haven't had a neighbor, Jesus feeds you.

  27. Amen, So you are more valuable than sparrows, all right. The sparrows

  28. are so cute and they fly around, But as much as God cares for

  29. them, you are of more value. And then it goes on to say

  30. about this verse that we were reading, do not worry, and we worry

  31. about what we're gonna eat, what we're gonna drink, what we're gonna wear,

  32. because this is what the people who don't know Christ yet worry about these

  33. things. So this this is Jesus speaking to his church, speaking to us,

  34. we are worried about a lot of things, you know, our What

  35. will our future look like? Oh? What will my education be like?

  36. Which university I'm gonna go? What job am I going to? What will

  37. my child look like? What will my child turn out to be like?

  38. Okay, how many children will I have? You know, get marry or

  39. so you think? How many children will I have? Okay? So many

  40. things we could worry about. Oh, if I cross the road with the

  41. car back met, people worry about such things? All right? Why why

  42. don't will I ever get a car? Will I not get a car?

  43. So many things you and I can worry about. And so the Lord says,

  44. do not worry by asking such questions, because, uh, the Father

  45. knows that you need all these things. Hallelujah, brother sisters, I want

  46. to assure you this morning that our heavenly Father, and whether you want to

  47. believe it or not, but believe it or not, he knows that you

  48. need all these things. Oh okay, all the things that you need,

  49. our heavenly Father knows. But the whole prerequisite of knowing that you will get

  50. all these things, he says, it's to first seek the Kingdom of God

  51. and his righteousness. Amen, and all these things will be added to you,

  52. not minus added to you. Hallelujah, Say hallelujah. Okay, So

  53. don't worry about tomorrow. Are you worried about tomorrow? A lot of us

  54. worry about tomorrow? Okay, because he leaves you and I can face tomorrow.

  55. Amen, tomorrow, tomorrow. I love you. Tomorrow. It's only

  56. a day away. Okay, tomorrow, it's a good day. But he

  57. can only face tomorrow because of Jesus. We're so hopeful that we don't have

  58. to be in despair. Tomorrow have his own worries. So today we got

  59. enough worry. Just live for today, all right. We keep worrying about

  60. tomorrow, your health will be compromise. Yeah, don't know. If you

  61. keep worrying, your health will be compromised. You know, you might get

  62. stress, high blood pressure, not your mental health or soul like thinking so

  63. much is real. I'm not denying the Jesus is not saying this is not

  64. real. He's saying it's so real. But I want to give you the

  65. remedy. The remedy to your wellness is not to worry. And if we

  66. keep worrying. You know, can you solve the problem by worrying? And

  67. I realize cannot even if I excuse me, even if I sin and I

  68. worry about my sin. Also, can I help something I do something wrong?

  69. Like I worry, worry what a pos thing on me? What pos

  70. the thing of me? I worry whole day. Nothing's gonna change. I

  71. already seen. So what I do repent? First repent? And if I

  72. have to go say sorry, I must go and say sorry. You are

  73. worrying. If I don't know what my future is, I cannot keep worrying.

  74. I have to ask the Lord to keep to guide me to my future.

  75. Amen, I give you two pictures. Which time would you rather be

  76. in? Number one? Picture? Go to the beach? People nice to

  77. go to the beach. I love the beach. I'm not very good with

  78. the mountains. I'm better with the beach. I don't know why my mountains

  79. are quite nice? Or you'd rather be in this one? Yes, it's

  80. very exciting. That's an adventure, very exciting. Okay, okay, which

  81. it will be your choice? Picture one? Picture two? Some anybody wants

  82. to that? You know that's an adventure there? All right? The calmness

  83. or the tossing and turning of the storm. There we go. All right.

  84. If I'm looking at these two pictures, Wow, how will we?

  85. How do we? How do we live our lives? Do you want to

  86. live in the well? Both are not wrong and not both are not too

  87. bad. We'll have an adventure. Okay, very calm, very cool,

  88. like a cucumber. Everything's going well. Nothing to pray about. March.

  89. Actually, I said, joy the Lord. The shepherd leads you to the

  90. still waters and lie down. You cannot lie down the still waters for too

  91. long. After a while, you you gonna row your boat out. Come

  92. on, But then you row your boat suddenly got storm moreyo. You know,

  93. lives sometimes you have a storm. Many years ago, when I was

  94. still single and I was dating some guy and about dating my whole life and

  95. dating his banker, and then I knew it. I knew that this is

  96. not the man to marry. I knew it. I knew it. But

  97. because the pressure of getting married, you really don't know how I was like

  98. anyway, So I'm like, but I knew this is not the man.

  99. I knew it. I knew it. I knew it, And God was

  100. trying to tell me, but I just didn't want to listen. So one

  101. day this guy you jegged me to this pre marriage tounseling something love. You

  102. know who was running this counseling. I mean, he's no longer with us.

  103. Past the Raymond, go past the Raymond. Before he was doing all

  104. the work that he's doing, probably was doing past the Raymond. Was there.

  105. I saw Marlow to see pass the Raymond after I went into ministry with

  106. my husband, like actually he recognized me. But back then, then,

  107. a long time ago, he was doing a pre mariage counseling and I'm like,

  108. oh am I doing here? And so this passes sharing love And then

  109. you was a teacher about premagh counseling mana Tau suddenly moving into prophety, oh

  110. no, oh no. Pray then called me out some more. This prophecy

  111. proverty all embarrassing sometime. So he got up like okay, I'm fine,

  112. I'm cool, I'm good. And he said to me, wow, your

  113. life looks it's come. It's the waters, you know, in the lake,

  114. and like I got this right, so proud, right, like of

  115. course I love Jesus. And he said, but God's gonna allow you to

  116. be calm for too long. What there's going to be a storm? What

  117. storm? Oh? So you know sometimes the storm has an adventure. Well,

  118. the storm came, people and I broke up. Well, the storm

  119. came because I went for mission trip and it confirmed to me that the Lord

  120. said to go full time. And when I came back and told these men,

  121. now I'm gonna go full time. He's quoted me. Who told you

  122. that? Jesus? And I said, I'm gonna go full time. I've

  123. always wanted to go. I'm going for missions, going out little field,

  124. i will stop my corporate work. And he was so angry and he broke

  125. up with me. Like I said, I never nobody breaks up with me.

  126. I break up with them. But this guy broke up with me.

  127. So okay, okay, next then two days say let's make me. Let's

  128. come back to get a sorry you break up with me? No coming back?

  129. Okay? You so funny, But boy, was there a storm in

  130. my life or the calmness? Because I was too calm. I was too

  131. what's the word for it, just complacentler? Complacentler, you know, yes,

  132. serving the Lord doing this, but not doing what God it's calling me

  133. And I was thinking, maybe he won't call me anymore. We think so

  134. long not to go full. I really want to go to the mission,

  135. be waited and waited with really so like feelings were already later twenties is already

  136. and maybe I just get married, have kids and nothing else. But then

  137. the Lord stirred up that storm. Sometimes that storm causes you to sick.

  138. First the Kingdom of God and think and ask you what what is my portion

  139. in this life? Where's my priority? Amen? And church? Jesus is

  140. reason, and he's very much alive, and he's very much alive in us.

  141. And you know he can give you a calm as calm as that nice

  142. beach, and we need it. Sometimes it's good. But sometimes we may

  143. go into a storm. But that doesn't mean he has left us. It

  144. just means it's an opportunity to seek the lot first and his kingdom and get

  145. our priorities or get our eyes fixed on Jesus. So my question is what's

  146. our priority? What's our priority? As we carry on each day and walking

  147. with the lot? Friends, your life are you? Generally we have up

  148. to about seventy years old, kayse semty years old. Seventy Yet if you're

  149. extra. And my dad live under eighty. If your extra, like your

  150. great grandmother live under hundred. Yeah, my friend's grandma is one hundred years

  151. old. They just celebrator. Whose grandma is it? Anyone here? Somebody?

  152. My friend one hundred years old? Who happening with grandma? All right?

  153. So those are the extralla give you extra, But most of us were

  154. Bible say, it's about seventy plus plast years. Oh friends, I told

  155. the young people yesterday, seize the day, couped DM. Come on,

  156. seize the day and live the extraordinary. All right? I view you if

  157. you just live, get get born, and just walk every day worrying.

  158. Our God has h has a it's not a bad storm. It's it's something

  159. for you to live every day for the Lord. And I want to just

  160. remind us today what is our priority? And and and therefore the first thing

  161. I want to remind us that our priority is to seek first the Kingdom of

  162. God. All right, Just that's probably the title. And number one,

  163. stop worrying, number one, stop worrying. All right, maybe some of

  164. us don't worry at all. Very good. That means a okay Sarah sah,

  165. okay, whatever will be don't plan you know that kind of thing.

  166. I won't get married. You better plan, okay when I have wedding online

  167. or some people can't say, oh my girdfriend, my fiance will do everything.

  168. Hi. You gonna put some order into it, right. You can't

  169. just say I don't worry, don't worry, be happy. Yes, you

  170. can be happy, but he can put some order into it. Number One,

  171. if you're whatever it is that you are in your life right now,

  172. and there is a certain concern, the worrying is. The concern is I'm

  173. concerned about my child's education. I'm concerned about the health and welfare of my

  174. parents. I'm concerned about your Where am I at my job? Concerned?

  175. But Bible yea, the Lord Jesus says, please don't worry overly about your

  176. future about tomorrow, because he knows that when we continue to worry, it

  177. will be detrimental, very very not helpful to our health. Spiritual health,

  178. physical health, mental health, every kind of health. Cannot laugh anymore.

  179. You just worry and worry. And even when we speak to people, we

  180. speak worry words. We don't speak hopeful words. We cannot speak hopeful wards

  181. because we're filled with concern. I don't know if my boss likes me.

  182. You didn't smile at me that day. Boss. My boss didn't give me

  183. a promotion. I'm worried and I won't make it. How are you?

  184. Oh, then you worry about your ministry and you don't know. I know

  185. en not people to serve? How on your I only cook every week?

  186. Hola, No, I'm serving all these hundred old people. Oh, I'm

  187. the only musician. Worry. Worry in the house of the Lord, we

  188. cannot worry. Priority is we focus our eyes on Jesus and we praying.

  189. Now we've got the teen helpers and teachers for ex kids. Now we now

  190. bringing the kids. The lot prepare us bringing the kids. So worry is

  191. not a good. It's it's not healthy and health and worrying doesn't add to

  192. our height. It doesn't open the door there. The only thing that open

  193. the door is our praises, our thanksgiving, our gratitude. You know,

  194. stop worrying about what you can't change. I can't change the systems in this

  195. country. I can't do anything like by worrying. But I can't change it

  196. by voting or joining the party and do something I can pray, I can

  197. declare, I can do something, be involved in the community, to help

  198. our children, which we are so actively involved in the next church, to

  199. do something. Stop worrying of what we can't get. And if you choose

  200. to migrate somewhere else, it doesn't stop you from worrying because that other country

  201. will have their other problems. It doesn't help. So worrying about tomorrow will

  202. take away your joy, will take your health away. Well, and I

  203. think you kind of stop living. Amen. And when we share this with

  204. you, it's not only for you. It's for you to take it to

  205. someone you might know who's worrying. And where does our then hope come from?

  206. Amen? Because we want to point first to the Lord. First of

  207. all, we speak to the sheep. We speak to God's children on the

  208. thoughts of worrying, and we were I know a lot of times we worry

  209. about our future, about what things will I get promoted? How much money

  210. will we make? I can't you know how many kids will I have?

  211. It all depends how much money I make. You cannot let itla, all

  212. right, you've got blessed sake CLA. Okay, you've got license to make

  213. make LA. But then okay, okay, all right, but worry certain

  214. add anything to the answers that we want. And I believe when Jesus tell

  215. us to stop worrying is because he knows that it will affect our healthy friends.

  216. We don't want to live with high blood pressure with I don't know all

  217. the things that come in high blood pressure. It does cost you. Blood

  218. pressure will rise and then we have to breathe, and then you know,

  219. you get affected. And that's why the Lord tells us, don't worry,

  220. Amen, don't worry, but trust your heavenly father. Next point, trusting

  221. God doing stronger. We're trusting God. Okay, I just I just shared

  222. with our children, our students in school, how to trust God. I

  223. you know, one time we were just flying in and out of kl Singapore,

  224. kay el Singapore. I will do a service, like now, what

  225. time is this? Nine thirty? We're done by ten, and then I

  226. will get someone drive me to kl IA two and I hop on the next

  227. flight to Singapore. We did this for months and because I'm rushing from one

  228. service sooner, so I forgot that I'm actually flying, and I keep preaching,

  229. oh I have to go there with room room room all the way to

  230. kl i A and there. A few times I'll be running helter skelter to

  231. my gate, you know, my leg go going this way back or flinging

  232. everywhere, and then painting, and I'm thinking, I'm not there young anymore.

  233. I'm not thirty. I was in my forties running like I'm at the

  234. lead. Yeah, but lake going here, late, going there back,

  235. swinging here, back half everywhere. Then got wearing flats and then panting away.

  236. You know, like how long? What can I do this? Because

  237. you preacher me right off? You know, my time is good past the

  238. past the yod. I got so happy in my preaching and so enjoying my

  239. preaching, my own preaching too much that I forgot I have to fly,

  240. and I will get on the plane and then I'll just sit there and go

  241. like made it, and then like rest. Then I catch myself going the

  242. plane is taking off. Really, I catch myself way. I really trust

  243. the pilot that the plane will arrive safely. Sing up my trust in the

  244. pilot whom I don't even know his name, Asia, that I will get

  245. there in one piece. Where's my faith? Therefore, in my own Christian

  246. faith? Do I trust the way do. I just got the same way.

  247. I trust the pilot. I don't even know his name. I don't

  248. know him. I don't know really word it was he angry? It his

  249. white yesterday. I don't know right right, men mendal wellness in the pilots

  250. went button. I get there, I sit there. My husband good.

  251. He gets to the plane, he sits down, He'll start praying. Thank

  252. you Lord. Let's see it. Le's less every day does this all the

  253. time? You're so holy, and come pray the husband I have who leads

  254. like he leads me. Sometimes, like I'm doing here, I just roll

  255. my eyes. Okay, you know I'm your pastor. By on the days,

  256. I just have so much on our brain and I just just give me.

  257. And then and then you get at the time when seeing the plane and

  258. you start sharing Jesus with everybody, the Holy Man. So pray praying.

  259. No. When I'm on my own and I'm flying, I'm I'm breathing,

  260. catching my breath, and no time then thinking about the message. And I

  261. have to get there with this. I wantn't get to the church. You

  262. know better, I think a child, you know. Then that's when I

  263. caught myself thinking Lord, Do I really trust you, not just with the

  264. airplane, my life, my future, the ministry that I'm involved in.

  265. Do I love you? Just love you and trust you for everything? Because

  266. friends, you and I do trust the pilot one hundred and one percent,

  267. okay, one hundred and five percent, Then we will get to our destination.

  268. I want to say to us, that's why Jesus says, stop worrying,

  269. but trust God that he got you on his hands and you will get

  270. you to your destination. What's the destination? His plans that he has for

  271. you more than you have your plans for yourself. Trust your heavenly Father.

  272. Amen, Are you and I trusting our heavenly Father? This is a word

  273. a reminder. You can trust your heavenly Father. We trust a lot of

  274. things. We trust the grand driver to get us to our destination. You

  275. don't know when he even has a proper license, he pays license. Say

  276. do you trust you trust all these things? You trust this? You trust

  277. that you trust the doctor who's treating you, that he's giving you the right

  278. diagnosis? Why because he's drained. So if we can trust the doctor,

  279. how much more your heavenly Father. That's what breaks God's heart because we cannot

  280. trust him and we look for other help instead of looking to him for his

  281. help. Guilty sometimes just just trusting other things. But I want to constantly

  282. trust my heavenly Father. A man trusts him like there's no one else to

  283. trust but him. And truly, I do believe with all my heart that

  284. he holds my life, your life in his hands. Amen. If it

  285. is time for him to take us home, it is time for him to

  286. take us home. But if it's not time, he will guide us.

  287. True, he will deliver us. He will lead us. And life will

  288. have it's challenges, the storm sometimes, but we can trust a heavenly father

  289. that he will see us through. You have to believe that, otherwise your

  290. faith doesn't become real. It's based on someone else's testimony, not your own.

  291. We need to know that he wants to heal us. He wants to

  292. lead us to the green past just to steal waters. He wants to open

  293. that door for us. He wants to give you the adventure of your life.

  294. Yes, the stop will be there, but the adventure of your life

  295. is there. He wants to forgive us even when we made a mistake.

  296. You got to know that and trust that he forgives, and we must forgive

  297. ourselves. We trust that heavenly Father. You need to trust God, a

  298. heavenly father, that that when he's When we said that God's word is powerful,

  299. yes amen, you'll say yes amen, yes Amen. Then I ask

  300. you, if you are not well, spirit, soul, body, if

  301. you're not well, will you read the word of God by checkters in a

  302. day and allow the Living Word to heal you. You trust, you believe

  303. that God's word can heal you, spirit, soul and body. We know

  304. of somebody was very unwell and and and then it was she was told,

  305. will you read God's word? You just read God's word. Don't melready have

  306. to understand everything. Just read it. Just read it every day and tell

  307. you this person did it and God healed her of her infirmities completely. But

  308. she had to give time to read God's word. We cannot just say it

  309. and not experience it. Why because we want all to know Jesus. But

  310. if you and I don't experience it, we have no sharing of story to

  311. tell them what God has done for us. Amen. Amen. So trust

  312. the Lord rather than worry. Worry will not add anything to us prayer,

  313. trust, leaning on the lot one hundred percent, We'll get our hearts lifted

  314. up, our minds lifted up, our spirit refresh. Amen, our church.

  315. We have to share this and remind you because it's not in the great

  316. theology that will save your life. It is in practicing the Word of God

  317. that will save your soul. I'm on church, Amen, do I hear

  318. an? Amen? I cannot appreciate well if you don't say, Amen,

  319. I need some energy, I'm giving you a lot of energy. Really know

  320. how you sleeping? Okay, okay, stop worrying. Amen, I'm gonna

  321. do trust in our heavenly Father. And then number three, seek God's kingdom

  322. first and his righteousness. And we hear this all the time. Then you

  323. must ask what is the Kingdom of God? About? What is the Kingdom

  324. of God? Because Jesus went around preaching. He says repent for the Kingdom

  325. of God is at hand. The Kingdom of God is at hand. So

  326. don't just say when I die eternal life, then I experience the Kingdom of

  327. God. Now is the Kingdom of God for us? What is the I

  328. asked that question, Lord, what is this kingdom? What do I seek?

  329. First? The Kingdom of God. What is the kingdom and the kingdom

  330. of God is his righteousness, is the rightness of God. Is the hope

  331. that we have in God. Is the principles that God is sharing with us.

  332. And you find it in the Word of God. So when when you

  333. read Matthew, for example, any of the Gospels, you start with the

  334. Beatitudes, the Sermon on the Mound, and he goes on chapter five,

  335. chapter six, chapter seven. He's telling us that the Kingdom of God is

  336. so precious. You want the Kingdom of God. You would sell your great

  337. treasures just to find the Kingdom of God. How precious God's kingdom. Why

  338. because the Kingdom of God is in you. And when he's in you,

  339. it's because Jesus lives in you. So his righteousness, his hope, his

  340. joy, he's healing the plans that He has for you, the future and

  341. the hope, the trust, the faith, the supernatural, the work of

  342. the Holy Spirit. This is the Kingdom of God. The principles that He

  343. gives to us, to his word is his kingdom in us. My flesh,

  344. my flesh will always be stubborn, but my spirit, my spirit needs

  345. to exercise the willingness and obedience. The flesh always will tell you, nollah,

  346. go and sleep. Listen. Yesterday I told the young people some people's

  347. will be here. I just found out. I didn't know there. Wake

  348. up, okay, some people's hobby. And adults were telling me. These

  349. adults, you know, I say, what's your hobby? Sleeping? I

  350. said, that's not a hobby, yes it is. No, it's not.

  351. You know, a hobby something you do. I do every every empty

  352. space. They sleep. Oh my world, I say, that's not a

  353. hobby. A hobby is something you like actively do. And you're a life

  354. like you're awake. So I said, stop sleeping. Sleep You're eight hours

  355. if you need to. But there's more to life than sleep. And I

  356. mean, I'm not a sleeper. If I don't sleep better still, but

  357. I have to sleep, so I sleep, but I sleep like your normal's

  358. time to sleep. But you're waking hours. I say, wake up early

  359. morning, you know. And Jesus saved me. And what what in the

  360. system? Okay, so yeah, don't make hobby. You're don't make sleeping

  361. your hobby. All right? Okay, all the men in black are here

  362. now, dang, I can use the white one yet, all right,

  363. so sink first. A king of God is righteousness. How to see God?

  364. You're sleeping? Leave leave sleep. Then when you need your miracle,

  365. you forgot how to pray because you haven't been practicing. Ye see God,

  366. I tell you it's very exciting when you seek God. I know that he

  367. Okay, the honest thing is, the truth is not every day He's going

  368. to give you an adventure la because you you start me something or to finish

  369. it first, then the next thing will come. The next thing will come.

  370. Uh. The Lord does lead us, though, I have to say

  371. I do. I always like all you're gonna say to me today? And

  372. you know what, Jesus has already spoken to us the red color words.

  373. If we can at least practice the red color words is very good. Do't

  374. worry about it's book. Yeah. So the Lord speaks to us to his

  375. word, and he will guide you steadily, steadily as you steadily read God's

  376. word. Friends, there's anyone in this room will will you if you are

  377. truly seeking the Lord? Would you give yourself time spend time reading God's word?

  378. No, really, I'm busy, You're busy, But I realized that

  379. if I will just spend time and I want to tell you when I first

  380. came to Christ as a sixteen year old. Every day I will come home

  381. after school and I will read the New Testament. I finished it. I

  382. have to say, there is power even in my ignorance, I meaning I

  383. don't know everything about God, in my ignorance of not knowing everything. But

  384. by reading the New test and cover to cover the Book of Revelation, the

  385. Lord changed me. Healed me of whatever sickness I had. But I read

  386. it cover to cover one time, the New Testament, not because someone told

  387. me. I just thought I should read this. I'm a new believer.

  388. I want to know more about Jesus, and so that's what I did.

  389. Friends, if you can give your time to watching TV, or if you'll

  390. play watch Netflix or play games, if you just fast that time, that

  391. one hour and you read one hour of Bible, something will change in your

  392. spirit. Your mind needs to be renewed. What you're doing, you're seeking

  393. the kingdom of God first two or not, and then his righteousness is part

  394. and put all of his kingdom. But I have to say it's not easy,

  395. because life is I don't know if I cannot sit still or whatever,

  396. I will always be doing something in the house, whether I'm cleaning or I'm

  397. baking, or i am cleaning some more. All right, so I'm on

  398. the line with somebody, right, But then the law will challenge me.

  399. You're talking to everybody about me? Have you come and talked to me?

  400. So have to make time to read by chapters, not just one verse and

  401. be happy, you know. I mean some of you are eat your vitamins

  402. even more religiously. Ten reading scripture, you know, ten vitamins in front

  403. of as fast supplements. When you get older you need supplements. When you're

  404. younger, you don't need like your mother. Just say take vitamin C and

  405. you swallowed it. We are you older? Viteamin D, vitamin B white,

  406. the mean C white, themIn a calcium? What what Q queue or

  407. cue for the heart? You know? And is a oil? Oh?

  408. Then you know? Then religiously you take it? I say, if we

  409. take us supplements religiously, can we also religiously come to the Word of God

  410. sick spiritual supplement SIK First the Kingdom of God. What is the Lord saying

  411. to us? And that's why so many believers don't know what the Bible says?

  412. And then they ask me, God Man, I say, wait,

  413. have you been reading your bible? God Man, God is there, but

  414. you must read now then you know, Oh, that's how it. Oh,

  415. that's how it's supposed to go about it. A principles are in the

  416. Word of God. So seek the Kingdom of God. You know, seek

  417. what it is the Kingdom about. It's about righteousness, living right. It's

  418. about trust, it's about hope. It's about joy. It's about God's healing.

  419. It's about God's home, the Kingdom. We live in it, and

  420. he wants to reveal to us. God wants to reveal himself to us,

  421. but we haven't made time to get to know him. But we spend a

  422. lot of our time worrying, worrying what Rachel thinks about me. Worry what

  423. mister Christina is thinking about me? She like me? Does she? Okay?

  424. We worry and worry and do nothing because what really meant us is what

  425. God thinks about you. And then if you need wisdom to do your project,

  426. your business also comes from here. He will reveal the truth that you

  427. need to do your business, to study, to do well in your whatever

  428. that you're doing. But we just give up on God. Actually, we

  429. give up because we think that the person is more blessed. How come I

  430. not bless different? God, same God, Jean, Jesus, Jesus,

  431. Jesus, Jesus, Jesus. But we were actually not trusting God. We're

  432. upset with the Lord because he didn't I didn't get the same thing as my

  433. friend. But that's why, Jesus says us. If you want to live

  434. healthy, you want to live well, seek first the Kingdom of God,

  435. Seek God's way, God's truth, God's life in and through his word,

  436. and then of course talking to him honestly, honestly saying this is how I

  437. feel, this is what I'm going through. What would you say? And

  438. I want to say to you it will not be an audible voice. Hello,

  439. Jason. Yes, this is never because Jason, the day you audibly

  440. hear it, you give up everything really right, not to couse. Jesus

  441. speak to you know, and you're like, okay, Jesus, I will

  442. serve you full time now because I warned the minds of God. I want

  443. to help everybody. I heard the voice of God. Amen. But God

  444. speaks to us in our spirit man, he he stirs our hearts. Amen.

  445. And you know that God is speaking to you. You know, He's

  446. giving you a direction. I know when I have to repent, or where

  447. i have to go and see someone, or where I'm being stirred up in

  448. my heart. Especially when you read his word or when you pray. He

  449. tells you Amen, you seek God's Kingdom first, and then his righteousness.

  450. You seek the Lord. That's just meaning, you seek the Lord God.

  451. And God's Kingdom has principles. Friends, A lot of us are living principles,

  452. either brought down from our grandfather or what we are used to. But

  453. there's kingdom principles that that things that we practice are not agreeable by the world's

  454. standards, but this is God's standards. Principle of forgiveness, forgive, principle

  455. of you know, being general us being having a big heart. These are

  456. principles you can find in the Word of God. Principle of asking for forgiveness.

  457. I wrong you, and I can't just walk away. I gotta go

  458. and say please forgive me. Not a flippant I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

  459. Everyone can say right. But when I go to someone and say please forgive

  460. me, Now, that person can choose to like whatever, but you must

  461. ask the please forgive me better person forgives you that up to him, God

  462. would judge him and deal with him. But I must ask for your forgiveness,

  463. not just say I'm sorry, so flipp no, please forgive me.

  464. I allogize. This is what God is asking us to do. Principles here,

  465. God's Kingdom. This is it. I don't know. Don't lie,

  466. okay, stop lying it. Don't tell white lives, white lives, black

  467. lives, red color, lies, cropoiliz all lies loud. They're all lies.

  468. Now we all just say them. Mind exaggeration or so we exaggerate like

  469. crazy. The Lord tells you to stop it. You have to stop it.

  470. How I know because they were. God tells me, Amen, all

  471. right, So seek God's kingdom first. And you and I feel many of

  472. us don't know because we are not actually coming to the Lord. Okay,

  473. let's come to the Lord. He's word. Next. Be assured. He

  474. will add to your life what you need and more so there's what you need

  475. and what you want. You need a car, So he gives you Lah

  476. a car first car my V or something. I don't know. There you're

  477. going, Mom, can give me a better car? Ah? What guy?

  478. You want? No? I don't know you get it car? Just

  479. say thank you Jesus, you got a car. Okay, stop the monday.

  480. I want I tell you how to drive this kind of car. And

  481. now our Malaysian road. Put the bomb ready lot a car? Got a

  482. car? Prais a love for a car. You will promote. God will

  483. promote you and give you a better, stronger car. Protect your car.

  484. They will protect you. Laugh, okay, stronger car. Where do you

  485. get a Mercedes? I don't know, Lave. Of course, there is

  486. quite a difference. I have to say between my Keia and sitting in a

  487. MUK Wow. The Mercedes of his steady, you know, very steady,

  488. can be driving one and twenty you still steady. My father laws have a

  489. Mercedes. And when I my husband drove me a Necker to date me ate

  490. me, but I no annoy his carl anoys money. Steady, steady,

  491. very steady. But you know, a car is a collar. It gets

  492. you to a to see wherever you want to get to. I assure you

  493. there's an assurance the lower at your life. I'm not seeing God take away

  494. simply because he's evil and he takes it away if he doesn't give it to

  495. you. It means he loves you more. And that thing that you want

  496. is not good for you. It's not good for you, and you won't

  497. know it, but God knows it. And sometimes you say, yeah,

  498. I really thought, and you know, kick hate step and people's hat and

  499. get there only to find out cheers. Never for me. It was never

  500. bent for me. But I had to learn it the hard way. It's

  501. okay if we learn things so the hard way learn more important we learn.

  502. Amen, I that you know. We're all different, we are all made

  503. differently. We respond to God differently because of how we grew up. And

  504. the Lord also uniquely put a DNA in us, He's DNA. And so

  505. how how we will do certain things, how we will achieve, how we

  506. will or even in the way we drop fall, break the fall, even

  507. if we fail. It's different from a different person from another person. But

  508. God still loves us. Is our assurance, is our insurance. He will

  509. carry us through. He will add to us, because it is. If

  510. you worry and you try to add to it, you can't. But when

  511. you seek first God's kingdom and ask him and draw near to him, he

  512. the Lord, will bring that addition to you. Because he knows already what

  513. you need. You might have a I need, but I also know you

  514. might have a want, so you might need a car. But and you

  515. get a m V first. Not that it's a bad because it went through

  516. the very good car, you know, the X ninety then sunk in the

  517. flood. But my vie went through. Yeah. I don't want to stop,

  518. you know, go on boat. But but if even if you have

  519. a want, the Lord also can give you a want, he rewards you.

  520. He knows it's nice you can have it. God is not a gam

  521. god. No, I was the word for an English but the English word

  522. is stingy cingy. God is not a stingy Godam yeah, God like he's

  523. holding him his hand. I don't pry open to get the gift, you

  524. know, I see God be so generous. I will tell you how generous

  525. he is. I just like a silly pod, my silly pot. It's

  526. just a part, but he's a very expecsive part. I'm sorry. I

  527. won't lend you my pot, all right, it's a silly pod. I

  528. can't afford it. It's just a wand nice to have, but it's too

  529. much money to pay for it. But if my heavenly father wants to give

  530. me the pot, I gladly take la. Right dot. Can I say

  531. it's a killer God's name, my name, my name, you can give

  532. the pot. It's my silly pot. It's a part. It's just a

  533. pot. But God adds, he knows what you like, he knows what

  534. you also need. He knows what and that's like extra blessing. It's my

  535. silly pot, just a French made pot called like we say, it's just

  536. a pot. It's like your Mercedes, La. We can use the Zebra

  537. brand pot made from Thailand, or you can want a Francois made pot that

  538. looks like a Mercedes, not like Proton. So there's a Mercedes spot and

  539. a Proton pot. So I'm just saying, how's he got to do?

  540. Kingdom of God. I'm just saying, God is not stingy. He adds,

  541. but you don't have to run and worry, and I don't have and

  542. I want. He knows what you need. If you need it, you'll

  543. give it even if you don't need it. He's so generous. I give

  544. you one more Potla. I own all the pots in the whole of France

  545. now I give you one potla okay, right, it's my silly pod.

  546. But yeah, God bless me with a silly pot because I didn't want the

  547. one that I pot in the Chinese shop. AADs to us what we need

  548. and even a little bit more extra. He be assured that God knows.

  549. But I want to say, we're all at different faith walk, so you

  550. cannot compare we dead person or dead person. Amen. But you are uniquely

  551. made by the Lord, and you receive from the Lord uniquely what he has

  552. for you. The problem is we compare. We just keep one thing what

  553. the other person has because it's dangerous. Right, I want the wife you

  554. have. You say, danglah, But but happens. He can get there.

  555. But if you seek first God and his kingdom and his principles, be

  556. assured. God adds to your life what you need and what makes you shine.

  557. Amen, Because I can't do what you do. And the worst thing

  558. is, I want to be like you because I like what you do.

  559. You get to assure sisters you've been I don't, so I jealous. Right,

  560. we keep comparing, how can I don't? And he's a sicknessler that

  561. is in us. And then we suffer through it because we never live where

  562. God has wanted us to live. Amen, I want to say to us

  563. as I close, slowly, slowly coming to close, do you believe next

  564. life? Do you believe you have ever lasting life? John three sixteen?

  565. You all know John three sixteen. I can memorize it. Even close Eyesosode

  566. can say something, So of course, never say enough. John three sixteen

  567. says that God, God, for God so loved the world that he gave

  568. his only begotten son, that whosoever would believe in him would have ever lasting

  569. life and not perish. You will not perish, but have everlasting life.

  570. So I ask you, judge, do you believe you have everlasting life?

  571. Do you believe there is a life to live here on earth and you will

  572. continue to walk into heaven? You gotta believe it. Yesterday my friend passed

  573. away, the pastor of one of our churches, not one of the big

  574. churches here. He preached and he collapsed fifty seven years old. I can

  575. only say he walked into heaven, senior pastor, and he walked into heaven

  576. fifty seven? Do you believe you have everlasting life? We are sad to

  577. lose our friend someone I was just speaking to only recently. But if you

  578. believe you have eternal life, then live on earth seeking His kingdom first,

  579. and walk right into heaven because there's eternal life. Death only ist the flesh.

  580. But death doesn't kill your spirit. You live with Jesus. But if

  581. you know what your everlasting is, therefore the Kingdom of God must be lived.

  582. Now, he says it already. Don't just wait till when I get

  583. to heaven. Then I'll be good. Oh then I'll live. Live Now,

  584. live righteous. Now, seize the day and do the extraordinary. Now

  585. ask you if you have the what's the word the antidote or the way to

  586. get cancer healed? You have the medication for it, you have the discovery.

  587. You know what it is that can heal cancer. Do you keep it

  588. to yourself? I'm sure you like want to make lots of money with it

  589. and go and tell the whole world. I have the antidote for cancer and

  590. you will share it. You have the key to everlasting life? Have you

  591. and I shared it? Have you and I? I'm not talking to myself.

  592. Have I been so excited to share about my everlasting life? Shy?

  593. Scared? My friend will love it? Me that I have everlasting life.

  594. If you believe you have everlasting life, then seek the kingdom. That kingdom

  595. must live now with us. The impossible must happen for us to become possible.

  596. The supernatural that you've never experienced got to happen now, amen, you

  597. The supernatural is Holy Spirit working through us and living in and through us.

  598. Don't just wait for the big thing to happen. The little things happen.

  599. The small things make differences in people's makes a difference in people's life. Your

  600. story matters. That's why sometimes I look at some other I mean, I

  601. go to different. I just went for an event in a university just past

  602. week. They were saying, oh, we're gonna change the education. Don't

  603. know what. I don't know what. After you were shit, my husband

  604. asked me easy, very different. They're like, no, we used to

  605. do the same thing. Church also does we do that. We provide,

  606. but people learn to make a mountain out of a mole here, but we

  607. all price it. I am Zilah, Susie. You seems like share what

  608. God has done? Small thing. Don't want to share, no need la,

  609. don't tell me, no tell tell celebrate. Nobody thinks it's great.

  610. But my father in heaven thinks it's great, and somebody who didn't ever see

  611. that would think it's great. And wow, if you can, can you

  612. tell me how can you show me the way? Can you tell me how

  613. to get well from cancer? If you found the medicine. Please, if

  614. we know what the medication is to help people with AIDS, will we not

  615. tell Actually there is, but they're not telling us there is medication for AIDS.

  616. Patience, there is, but nobody is saying it. That's really really

  617. selfish because not everybody gets it's because because sometimes it's blood transfusion, da,

  618. da da, whatever it is, that there's some medication. Please help people

  619. love same thing. If you believe you have ever lasting life, then we

  620. have a message that people around us need to hear. Amen. You can

  621. go to my next light. We have a message that people around us need

  622. to hear. But you cannot share that message if you're not seeking first the

  623. Kingdom of God, because you don't know how to tell them what you are

  624. experiencing. Amen. And while we can all still worry, we can also

  625. share I am worried, but I also have the power and the strength of

  626. God to overcome my worry. My business may not be so great, but

  627. I will seek God to help me overcome this. There seems to be a

  628. closed door, but I will pray that a door will be open. I

  629. just got to believe because I have a father who loves me, and that's

  630. ever lasting life. Amen. We gotta live our faith loud, or at

  631. least make it louder so that someone would want what you have. You do

  632. have a message, and you're just telling them what you have experienced. Amen,

  633. You're not You're not convincing anyone. You're just telling them this is what

  634. experience. Because we do that all the time. You get a new supplement,

  635. you tell it. You know that we want, you must go take

  636. we want, we want the want. They want to know that don't know

  637. what brand. I don't know what brand, like brands and we all buying

  638. do it? Yes? Yes, oh you got problem. Take the supplement.

  639. Take disap doctor, doctor? Really how come we can share such good

  640. news but not the real good news because we haven't actually lived the kingdom and

  641. we are so shy that maybe you might not work. Maybe maybe God won't

  642. you. But that's not up to me to say where the go. He

  643. won't he I just need to know that he has done something for me.

  644. Amen, Amen, face the lot. Have you got something to say to

  645. somebody? Yes, you do, the fact that you have Jesus in your

  646. life, you have something to say. But if you want to say more,

  647. then come on seek first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness. So

  648. stop worrying people. You're gonna have white gray hair, la. Stop worrying,

  649. las. Okay, the more worry more, come on, see you

  650. all coming already? Okay, the more the more I learn, my husband's

  651. here. Why you're here? Used to be very black? You know?

  652. But I think you're thinking too much, thinking too much. I have to

  653. think God always dropping ideas to him the other that Jesus stop dropping So worry

  654. why already that look at another? Pastor? Why I think you're all thinking

  655. together together? Last said sick. All right, I'm not thinking I have

  656. black already. I stop worrying and stop worrying because it can not help you.

  657. But you can trust your heavenly father. Let's trust God a little bit

  658. more. Remind me to trust God to when when you think that pass you're

  659. worried about this, the person't remember that word? You remind me you see

  660. God's kingdom first and his righteousness. What is the kingdom of God? All

  661. that the word of God represents? Read it, meditate on it. He

  662. did in you. On God's word and be assured He will add to your

  663. life. He will add what you need. As I said, God is

  664. not stingy. He's generous. He's very generous. Not more than you need.

  665. As I say it, it's just a silly pot that I want to

  666. cook in. But even that pot, God bless me with that pod.

  667. So big deal. Right. So all I'm looking at God, think,

  668. wow, my pot? Also you care? You provide for me? Then?

  669. How much more about the friend I'm praying for, my cousin that's not

  670. saved, the one that I want to meet? How about you know that

  671. person who's sick I'm praying for. I don't know God, what you want
