  6. friends, the lot was encourage us and tell us, really, the

  7. power comes from praying. The power that nothing comes from praying. Many times

  8. our own journey, our own life, we try to do everything with our

  10. it. We are so accustomed to it. We know how to tech of

  11. problems that tech us issue, and this stuff that based on resdom our own

  12. past experience. But the Bible encourages this morning in this manner, Therefore,

  74. She was trying to manage to ford the fold, the banquet table and

  75. the other one thing. This guy helping, like how we don't pray for

  76. important things. We don't. We just go by what we see outside.

  77. And many times our decasion, we go by what we see in outside.

  78. Good, good? Do you go for it? Great? You go for

  79. And many times we are led to a place whereby after that, come on,

  80. after that, you'll like that. Wanna you are like that? Wanna.

  81. I can see this. We gonna becounseled. Is one of the future.

  82. Just to actually take time and invest in couples before they get married,

  83. called pre marriage counseling. We sit down there for six months, we walk

  84. to with them, we cry to them, We asked them the one key

  85. question why do you want one get married? Don't listen to the frontier.

  86. This is this is the the h people here our church. Why it's still

  87. very okay? Why do you still want to get married? And stuff like

  88. oh, because we have data for almost ten years, say what to do?

  89. Oh we did get married? Law. There was one answer that was

  90. given those me and my wife like huh what hight that we dat us?

  91. We did our next progressional like that low, like that low, and many

  92. times our preyer life doesn't exist because like that low is I'm here, I'm

  93. like that. Friends. So the next part is this and God is asking

  94. us our father in heaven. Friends, we have a father in heaven that

  95. we could run too, that we could call too many times as a child.

  96. We really don't understand our father's plans. We have our own plans.

  97. Yo. Our dad wanted us to be an accountant, but we want to

  98. be a graphic designer. Our that wanted us to be engineer. But we

  99. want behad stylists. Nothing wrot be behad stylist rest. I actually want to

  100. behave stylist their falcon head to work to work with. I wanted the weirdest

  101. profession. My dad said no, I will don't become a graphic this in

  102. my father say what on earth is dead? All right? You can you're

  103. you're good enough to become a contractor a mechanic and this stuff like that,

  104. And my dad said, wes come the worst, you become a countiner.

  105. See many times you don't engage our father in heaven because our father and heaven

  106. had to have her had the plan. Many times she does not know how

  107. to engage our dads come on. Most dead Asian deaths are very quite,

  108. very silent, right seeing and sometimes not heard. She's always there, strong

  109. figure, always provided, working very hard. But sometimes you do not know

  110. how to communicate. And many times right when they say, it feels like

  111. excoding and mayis our journey because of our earthly fathers are like that somebody,

  112. we don't know how to engage our heavenly father. But I want to let

  113. you know this why God has a plan. His plan is this that his

  114. kingdom come and his will be done on earth. Come on. His plan

  115. is his kingdom come and his will be done on earth. But we have

  116. a relationship with our dead, and therefore God is asking sick the Lord this

  117. moey because he already has a plan in your life, in your journey.

  118. We need to know what God's plan for the earth have too far, we

  119. all know this. Let the whole earth be filled with the glory and the

  120. knowledge of God. First, you and I this wanting. We need to

  121. seek the Lord because it is not our plans that we want to do.

  122. Our life is so short to do our own plans. Life is so short

  123. to do our own plans. And many times if you're not careful with God,

  124. Oh my God, bless us someone, we find so hard to move

  125. things along because it is our own plans. When we have to move out

  126. from so many places, we always ask God, what is your plan for

  127. us? Is it? This? Is it that? Before equals sanctuary?

  128. We were looking at key site more or we saw a space, we went

  129. there, we prayed about it. We just thought that could be the potential

  130. space, right, And sometimes we re use Christian words like this is it?

  131. God open these off for us, and you know, the understanding of

  132. God's plan is so important. But afterward we doesn't mean that first confirmation is

  133. confirmation all the way. We continue the confirmation and we found that it's not

  134. what it is. Thank God, let us this place. The managements say

  135. that you cannot open the church here. This is a retail space. No

  136. so no church. The management are not very favored to church, not very

  137. failed to church. So what do you do? So kill their mind?

  138. We say we are events space. Then all right, then I think about

  139. last year, had the opportunity to meet the top management of ECO. I

  140. just told them there we are church. Okay, I say, we like

  141. your space, very nice. One of the few spaces look out a tree.

  142. In fact, this is the only few spaces of friends. We have

  143. nice, nice facility. We have never invested like that before. So we

  144. told the man top management say we are a church. I the moment that

  145. wrent now from my lips, I went like, oh no, I gotta

  146. let the next month, please recid the minute, give back stuff like no,

  147. we're still here. You see, you need to seek the law out

  148. Father out in heaven. Hello be your name. See it's out responsibly to

  149. seek the lot of friends. God has a plan, a vision. But

  150. many times you want to run your own vision. You know why because if

  151. your own vision, we get the glory. Ma uh huh, our own

  152. vision, I won't desire we get the glory ma. We want to do

  153. masters. The God asked to do masters, a master degree, but we

  154. want to do so we get the glory Ma because we work so hard.

  155. I got a question, I w asked me for what do you do your

  156. MBA? I went, I was naive, I was, I was,

  157. I was. I was scammed by my friend Master's love. It's very easy

  158. one. It's a repeat of your third year university. Just buy. The

  159. more you study, you can pass on. In fact, I didn't research.

  160. It's the easiest mb you can do, so I do know, only

  161. the fun is not that easy because when you work and study is very different

  162. when your full time studying with so many times we want our own plans,

  163. we want the old man, but God's reminding us it is by God's plan,

  164. is for his glory. Fairy sometimes think everything evolves around us, but

  165. not necessarily, it's evolved around the Lord. So our father in heaven,

  166. Hello, be your name, your kingdom. Come, your will be done.

  167. Friends. Many times in our journey we fail to understand it is not

  168. our will, but God's will has to be done because he gets the glory,

  169. this building, this place that we have done because of us, because

  170. we give him money but friends, is because every inch of this space is

  171. for His glory. He provided for every thing our church around the globe.

  172. We just did the X. Sorry, our global passes retreat the Storbiries.

  173. You heard from them, friends, if you know our passes from overseas.

  174. Brisard Young, who is profession and accountant, decided to step up to become

  175. cognitive ex brister wasn't fully trained in theology, but he just God, if

  176. you can use anyone, can you in accounting? Right, man saying our

  177. collator in Edinburgh, you saw her the petitear little girl there came to ex

  178. kids who rolls out and say past her, if you want me to help

  179. our pray and God give you a confirmation, I will step up with the

  180. plate. Friends, God, condo confounders, who rises up in our chain?

  181. Because no human get the glory at the end of the day. We

  182. didn't mane saying no, none of your children go to exkis. One day

  183. you become a coordinator. One day you become a coordinator, one day you

  184. become a God. No, we did not do that. We just say

  185. grow in the Lord, allow the Lord to speak to you. Love God

  186. with all your heart, so and mind and see how God will bring you

  187. to. You can't come to this place where by God gets the glory in

  188. all that we do, because if human gets the glory, friends, there's

  189. no peace on nerve after that. Right, So it's not about competition,

  190. how many, how fast is grew and this stuff like that. No,

  191. it's not. It's case if you want us to win this place, we'll

  192. go. So when we first started our first church in overseas in Botswana.

  193. Right, if you have not been to Botswana, friends, you can.

  194. There's no direct flight. It's a flight you have to fly to South Africa,

  195. or you fly South Africa, South Africa, you fly in it.

  196. The pace of life is very slow. Think of it in Malaysia in nineteen

  197. sixties or ninety seventies. Very slow in this Bordern day of age. And

  198. if you want to buy a pair of pain, we go to the Harway

  199. shop. We just color you come up from the shop within five minutes.

  200. There is half an hour. So you want to buy five pair of pains,

  201. yes, please go to this department, get a purchased order. Then

  202. go to the department get it invoice, then go to this place for payment.

  203. Then go to the warehouse collect your stock five Nila in Malaysia. You're

  204. in and out within ten minutes. There's like, how I was waiting at

  205. the time that I say, I got to go back all the chairs,

  206. so we sell up the church over there. Everything was so slow. That's

  207. okay, you know, get buying the chair that pins the easiest, challenging,

  208. but easiest, the toughest. I can just share with your honestly,

  209. was the mindset of the people. I can be all very honest with you.

  210. Like to consume and leave everything behind. What do I mean by that?

  211. So we had a crosity back then or something like curiosity. So we

  212. ordered the fried chicken. So we order fried chicken. The guys who eat,

  213. you know, friends, not just one two pieces, allocate two pieces

  214. but person four pieces per person eat already the plate leaf on the floor,

  215. and the ladies and women cleans it up after that eat. They really just

  216. leave church. Nothing wrong with that, we hear the self. But as

  217. a person doing after, we go like, I'm wow, we feel like

  218. you tak it for all? Right? Then somebody the word is that if

  219. we don't pray, if we ask ourselves like God, what is your plan

  220. for Botswana? But we stuck to it. We we we we held on

  221. through it. I flew to Barcelona with thin one time. There was four

  222. times that year, flew into it just to help establish the church together without

  223. the question. Back then it was difficult. But you see, you have

  224. to seek the Lord because if it's us, we'll choose South Africa anytime,

  225. nicer place. You need have flight into one country. But God, say

  226. Botswana, low and behold. After so many years, so many people got

  227. touched. Communister too. You got to believe God has a plan for his

  228. glory. That's number one. Number two it is that the Kingdom of God

  229. has rules. Come on, you don't like the world rules. We have

  230. rules in the Kingdom of God. Yes, we have rules in the Kingdom

  231. of God. I won't say, amen, we have rules in the Kingdom

  232. of God, because if we are rules, how can the kingdom be managed

  233. without rules, without without loss? How can it be managed? So the

  234. king of God's government is lost? Okay, some someone I was in there

  235. forever? Oh Lord, your word is set in heaven forever, Oh Lord,

  236. your word is set in heaven. Right, So there's a Kingdom of

  237. God, your kingdom. Come, you will be done. But it's governed

  238. by laws, the word of God. Right, amen, So you understand

  239. that we understand the Kingdom of God under said govern by laws and another scripture.

  240. If you got convinced Isaiah four th, was it the grass beater?

  241. The flower fades, the pots and pants lose is shine? Thus eighty five

  242. eh, TV will die one day. Our tesla can't have to change battery.

  243. But the word of the loss says forever. Sorry all the other extra

  244. but the world of low stands forever. So the Kingdom of God is govern

  245. by the laws. So therefore passive us the leaders. Your devotion time is

  246. so important, Bible reading is so important. We know about the Kingdom of

  247. God, but many times we fail to understand about how it operates. We

  248. fail to understand how it operates because we make a lot of assumption. What

  249. do I mean by that? Meaning to say that just because the word love,

  250. we define love how we see love, but not how through the lens

  251. of God we define serving, and how we see serving, and not how

  252. God wants to see serving. We defy a lot of things to our own

  253. human eyes rather through God's lenses. And that's why sometimes in a Christian world

  254. we see very variation of believers. My parents used to if you want,

  255. they enter full time until you retire. Got out there, get your money,

  256. establish your career, your family. Then when you are with the Asian

  257. retirements, serve the lot, good human And why is that nothing wrong?

  258. Place? Please don't I'm not against it, right, But I also realized

  259. one thing. Why can't we serve the law while while we are working?

  260. Why can't we serve the Lord while we are working? Why can't we serve

  261. the lot as full time? We've got causes to be missioned. Why why

  262. not consider that this is the Lot calling us, giving them the opportune to

  263. serve him. So I say, why is it that you give the left

  264. overs? It's okay, I won't be speaking to yourself. I'm gonna be

  265. right direct. Why is it that we always give our left holds of strength

  266. to the lot? Right? For example, you know what we tell a

  267. couple of these. Okay, if you want to setter any disagreement, set

  268. it earlier in the morning, full of energy. Everybody is alert. Please

  269. those setter disagree Whoman argument at ten pm and night, because that's where your

  270. energy is at the lowest, Your patient is at the lowest if I no

  271. more patients, really, because your officer sucker all your patients. Right,

  272. those cet the disagreement and then those set up money issue at eleven PM and

  273. night because it will not be helpful. Right, So I tell people that

  274. don't give God the left or words. Friends, So therefore there are laws

  275. in God's kingdom. But we need to understand by reading his words. Therefore,

  276. your devotion is so important. Your devotion. Bible reading is so important,

  277. friends. Bible reading is not one verse that pops out or your Bible

  278. app Come on, it does not want the one scripture out there. I

  279. read my Bible, right, they see the scripture that pops out of my

  280. Bible app the worst of the day. We kill ourselves, like, come

  281. on, that can be just truel we are we are bluffing. Oh I

  282. read the Bible right. It's it's hard. The older we grow, the

  283. less you want to read. The older we grow, the less we want

  284. to read. We don't like reading because after a while we realized, because

  285. I would see them more than five minutes to read any book. After a

  286. while, it's hard, but we have to because we need to understand how

  287. it functions. Okay, so we want them supposed to energinner Now what nine

  288. fifty five? Okay, buss bustards my mentor so I follow his full step.

  289. Okay, all right, just find us. Finally, because it's Kingdom

  290. of God, there is loss. I just want to just want one more

  291. point, just for you. It's all about consistency at the end of the

  292. day, my final point, consistency. When I was preparing this message,

  293. lost spoke to me. Why is it only in the in the King of

  294. people be selective? Selective? Just because this happened to me. Therefore,

  295. it's not applicable to me. Now, before you think that I'm talking about

  296. anybody anything else, can I just put a full stop there and just share

  297. my journey. Even as a church elder about the anniversary giving last year,

  298. I was talking to past about said, okay, are you ready for a

  299. nursery giving? I say yes, right and and and let me share it

  300. past a hole I want to give pass just asked me a question, where

  301. is the faith? Now? I could take it the wrong way. This

  302. is my giving to the Lord, you know? Right? Come on,

  303. if I were to ask you, Albert, you need to give this an

  304. ex amounty I come on, can do better? Right? How many years

  305. of Christian really? Huh? If you give the same amount, no bu

  306. right like you got, I could take it the wrong way like question by

  307. giving I thought you was sa giving under we're not giving to Memma this question?

  308. Where is the fifth in the giving? So I went back to you

  309. to pray. Love, when you're finally seen the pass to speak to you

  310. first, it's not to spik you, and it's you know when when something

  311. that out of lover, you just have to go back and pray. So

  312. I went back to prayer and asked the Lord, like what is it?

  313. The Lord says, you know what it is. And I was going through

  314. this thing like I can just save up money, can save up money in

  315. case I tell you you did not, I had to stand down my heart.

  316. I had a heart attack, so I got civil money. Just make

  317. sure that I know everything is all Setima, And the Lord spoke to me,

  318. come on, did you save out even before you had a heart attack?

  319. Said Lord, no, full time a lot right now, not saying

  320. full time is batter or it just just in full time ministry. So our

  321. paid skill is very different from the normber Coppers pay skill right. People always

  322. share I always done with these other people. We always share that we've got

  323. three months of boners, right that look at our food stuff. We've got

  324. three months in heaven. We've got three more bricks in heaven. Hallelujah,

  325. praised a lot. Ah. So there's there's a joke that something I was.

  326. I will tell you other people, it's okay, three more bricks in

  327. heaven is better. Right. But anyway, so I went back to pray.

  328. God said, given a mile that you've never given before. I said,

  329. God, why do you need to squeeze the full time people, squeeze

  330. the corporate law because yeah, the one man excuseze. The other people got

  331. ten month bonus, they got gift, not give two to the load la

  332. twenty percent? Right, So a lot of things them because of what happened

  333. to me. Therefore, justify if I shrink back. God understand, people

  334. understand my right not come on, I'm just speaking by fully with love here

  335. It is okay, that's how we think. Rahab, the Bible says,

  336. Josh chapter two, come out rehab. Who's rehab? Rehab? In Josh

  337. chapter to the House of rehab Ah, the Bible says she worked as a

  338. hollered right, not a good profession. So many reasons that she can tell

  339. herself. I can betrayed the two spies that Joshaw said, because I need

  340. the money, I get failure, and many times in our life, because

  341. with a black consistency, we will tell ourselves it is okay because this happened

  342. to me. Therefore it's okay for me to shrink back. It is okay

  343. for me to create an exemption. It is all right for me to be

  344. there. But rehab, the Bible says, did not did not allow her

  345. profession to define how she should believe. Come on, she did not allow

  346. the profession to say, just because I'm hollered, therefore I'm like that two

  347. guys coming, or you're the two spiser. Therefore, let me tell the

  348. king. I get favored with the king, I get promoted, I get

  349. exemptions, I get money. I cant live in a bigger house. Would

  350. anyone say that, why are you so bad? Normalma? She's seen a

  351. lot of men in a life, Ma, But she she did not.

  352. So for me, it was that when God spoke to me the man,

  353. I looked at it and went like, God, why me? So?

  354. Anyway? I decided to obey the Lord. Sometimes when God speaks, you

  355. of doing it quickly. So they have looked back. I keep looking back.

  356. I keep looking back. Why why? Why? Why? Why?

  357. Why? Why? Consistency? Many times in a Christian world there is no

  358. consistency. We make exemption. Does it apply to me? Does not apply

  359. to me? Do you know? Sometimes there's no big chue because there's no

  360. consistency. There is no big true because there's no consistency. Friends, as

  361. I need to close soon because people are telling me to close. First Semuel,

  362. chapter thirty speaks about Samuel and Saul. Samuel was supposed to come to

  363. a place to make an offering to the Lord, but because he was delayed,

  364. Saul decided to do things in his own eyes, see for the Lord

  365. affairs, not for himself or for the Lord, thinking that it's okay.

  366. First severl Chapter thirteen. He repeated that again later. Why am I popping

  367. on this point consistency for some time? Because I find in my journey of

  368. twenty four years of being with ex church, I meet a lot of people,

  369. great people, some all right people. Some names are very funny.

  370. How what's your name? My name is Heavenly Okay, my name is Prince

  371. Fantastic, my name is Apple Good, my name is Pinky. We met

  372. a lot of good people, some good, some not so good, and

  373. stuff like that. Back then we had a lot of people said eyeing our

  374. girls. So we had the guys, all the guys. Time a guy

  375. going to talk to a girl like you know, for the longest time,

  376. all the guys who surround all the other partners of our churches surround the guy

  377. until we get blamed. We got rice before, a bit of rice before

  378. we got we got drinks specialists before that. This church is very controlling a

  379. lot of people to talk to other people consistency friends. Why am I sharing

  380. it? Because if we apply that into our life of friends, we will

  381. see a brick to one and don't make any exemption. So could have waited

  382. a few more because it's not his place to do the offering, but manditor,

  383. just because Christian mules can do it. I wish him leading, same

  384. as Carol Kea. It passes there. Think I can see even better.

  385. Maybe you can. But the question is the where's anoint thing? Oh there

  386. is preaching. I don't even know to tree scripture never make proper references I

  387. can appreciate better. Maybe you can. Home leaders are I've sit down with

  388. people saying, come on, what's wrong with homes? Why is it the

  389. people complaining the notes is not not deep enough? And just I'm just going

  390. to say this every friends, remeny, people can the preacher is not deep

  391. enough? Why is it that your diet is dictated by what the person preach

  392. Monday to Saturday? Have you have you been feeding yourself with a word?

  393. Have you been doing your own Bible study? And not? Tell me how

  394. many Bible references you have? H how many? Come on? Peace?

  395. True? Isn't a couple? Why is it that that that just because that

  396. you know that afterward this person here and gets all day? Then consistency?

  397. Come on? Or this this picture today? You didn't prepare well? Okay,

  398. fine, But the question is therefore consistency you apply to yourself? Have

  399. we been preparing well? On? Come on? Smile? Have we been

  400. preparing well? True? Or not? Come on? Come on? In

  401. a collection of books based your study Bible? Come on? You only go

  402. one man? Come on as a believer you least too. But now all

  403. right, those are all the type folks you got, at least four Bibles.

  404. Not I don't I know people got four? Okay, I got about

  405. five? Right, you know what I mean? You know what I mean

  406. by that? Why is it that all this happened to us so off the

  407. alawful sacrifice? Because semone do not show up on time? It's because of

  408. you. I have to do this friends, consistency and this with this last

  409. scripture, I'm just going to say. The Bible says in johnt up the

  410. fifteen right. Just let me just like I just turned to you right after

  411. it was not scheduled me to excot the communing anymore. June the fifteen US

  412. five. Yes, I am the wine. You are the branches. Those

  413. who mean in me and I am then will produce much food, and apart

  414. from me can do nothing. Find the scripture, gey, I promise I

  415. will end. Sorry. We always talk about ful fullness in Christianity. True,

  416. come on, you have this fulfulness? Right, I would say this

  417. to you, right, fruitfulness is not the angle. What do I mean

  418. by that? Okay, just hold your stones before you throw stones at me.

  419. Right, many Christians are fruitful, But the question is are you producing

  420. the fruit that's attached to the vine? Are you producing your own fruit?

  421. Are you producing your own fu meaning to see that we are fruitful? And

  422. come on, every person is frueful, and come on, whether you touch

  423. again your fruitful, you are fruitful. But the question that in this scripture

  424. say, I am the whine and you are the branches. Man. Therefore

  425. the fruit that we are supposed to bear at the end, they must be

  426. where we get our new trim from. Come on, not just because I

  427. am fruitful as a believer, exercise love, But this love that we exercise

  428. may not be the love that Christ wants. Exercise you think about it.

  429. Right, many times you're going to be fruitful. Yes we are fruitful,

  430. Yes you're fruitful. Right, I'm worshiping, Ma says, is that I'll

  431. re attached to the wine or not. Come on, and many times you

  432. try to produce our own fruit, our own fruit, our own fruit.

  433. What happens? Yes, I'm fruitful, but this fruit doesn't reflect where we

  434. get the nutrient from. And that's why many Christians are very disappointed because I

  435. am fruitful. More, they don't want to use my fruit and fruitful,

  436. MAA God has always been after our hearts, not a possession. Come on

  437. with this I'm going to close. I'm just gonna ship. I'm just going

  438. to encourage all of us here. God has a plan. This kingdom com

  439. is will be done. Come on his kingdom comis will be done. And

  440. God kingdom is gone. By his laws, his word. I want to

  441. courage your church to read his word. Whenever you can read this word,

  442. whenever you can open the Bible, read this word, because it so important

  443. to read this word. Without reading his word, sometimes you just go by

  444. the worst of the day, shot snippers of people's preaching. Try to read

  445. his word. People are trying to dub his word. But I want to

  446. encourage you believers, buy a Bible. Buy a Bible by a study Bible.

  447. Just try to study God's word. There's more books in the Bible besides

  448. Matthew, Lew Mark, and John. There are more chapters and the right.

  449. Try to just try. I'm not asking us to become Bible scol just

  450. try. Don't put your study study on this on Sunday or the homes.

  451. If you're really so hungry for God's word, you must I can when I

  452. busy a libry, I would know you must have at least bibius. I

  453. could be leader. You're hungry, you must have something to represent your hunger

  454. in your home. If you like cooking, you must have pots and pants

  455. and stuff like that commercial stuff. You understand. Finally, be consistent,

  456. friends, Please don't say that it doesn't apply to me. I'm not there

  457. yet. Sometimes I can't just be honest. Some time I just feel like

  458. shaking people like I'm not there yet, but on the way, on the

  459. way, friends, I know you're there. Not there. We got on

  460. the way one, you know what I mean. On the it's such a

  461. nice thing to to sit or I'm on the way. I'm not there yet.

  462. I wanted to be a leader, but I'm not not really on the

  463. way. So when will you know you arrive here? My heart? Friends?

  464. Twenty four years. Next year is twenty fifth. So I call up

  465. y ICC just after our event because this is the very first time a church,

  466. right I say church, a church being the words officier because again you

  467. understand the sensitivity and just I asked to ask this lady, but I very

  468. close to you, I say, hey, uh, everything okay, because

  469. she ended her texting me that I wish I could work with you again.

  470. I wish I could work with you how you go vote with this anymore?

  471. I cannot the upper mentions sake no to a church, So I have to

  472. call say you are right every day? Okay, you resigning? You're forced

  473. to resign? Say no, no, no, no, I want to

  474. work with you again. I'm not resigning. So can I book for next

  475. year or not? That's what I would put in. Want to put in

  476. your foot inside there. Nobody can say no, I can't pay money for

  477. next year or not? Can you got the this come? We want to

  478. have you back. Your fruits must show on friends consistent where you are from.

  479. We went from macam with the global pastor this restaurant, so we rest

  480. friends. We're the only customer city of us the foot cab, but our

  481. plus for everybody else the last play cable button hour and ten minutes last.

  482. She remember I was paying the bill, all right. We weren't complaining by

  483. this law. The lady, the Malay lady told us, where are you

  484. guys from? I say you are from a church. Oh no, from

  485. a I met here from church. Oh okay, you're the only first customer

  486. in my entire life, first customer in my entire life. You're doing this.

  487. They have never scored us, never scor us in my years of working

  488. here. Every time I guess golding one because she also admitted food comes up

  489. late. I guess golded every time. But you, guys are the first

  490. one to never score us. Thank you so much. Your fruit. Consistency,

  491. Come on, your fruit, Come on, consistency. If you draw

  492. from Christ, for you shall reflect Christ in all that you do. Whether

  493. or not, sometimes you feel that we are not good enough. Things happen

  494. to us doesn't mean there's any exemption. There is no diplomat when it comes

  495. to the Kingdom of God, only sons and daughters. And would you stand

  496. right now? I want to pray for all of us here, and I

  497. know that you understand what I'm trying to be across ready. But friends,

  498. do not leave this place really without experiencing the love of God. Don't leave

  499. this place deciding your own heart of hearts, friends, that God plans God's

  500. plans, God's vision is too hard to follow. Don't leave this place,

  501. friends, without without believing that it's so hard to read the Bible. Don't

  502. leave this place thinking that the Bible is so hot. And don't leave this

  503. place without a desire to be consistent in your work. Without consistency, we

  504. won't see twenty four years of God faithfulness in our church. Without consistency,

  505. friends, without trusting the Lord, we won't see his goodness. We hope

  506. you've been blessed by this message. For more information on our church, please

  507. visit asks Church do RG. We are also active on Facebook and Instagram.

  508. We're believing that this week is going to be a good week ahead for you. God bless
