An Opportunity in Every Obstacle (Part 2) | Pr Kenneth Chin

You're listening to a message to go from acts Church. We hope this message

will light up your day. I'm doing it as a two part series.

So the first part was done last Sunday by the grace of God, and

of course I'm here by the grace of God today to finish off the second

part. Let's put on the first slide, and it's already up. This

is the simple title that I've given to this two part series, and it

is this an opportunity in every obstacle, an opportunity in every obstacle. I

pray that you've been blessed from last Sunday's message, and I pray that you'll

be even more blessed today. John chapter nine, verse one to twenty five.

We read up to verse twelve last Sunday, but I want to read

again with you, if you don't mind. It's always good to read the

word of God. So John chapter nine, please, we're gonna read twenty

five verses and see what God wants to say to us today. God blessed

the reading of his precious word. Let's begin. John chapter nine, verse

one. Now, as Jesus passed by, he saw a man who was

blind from birth and his disciples ask him, saying, Rabbi, who's sin

this man or his parents? That he was born blind? Obviously, I

think in the culture then and maybe even now, people equate suffering with sin,

So you're suffering because of your sin? And Jesus answered, neither this

man nor his parents sin. So the Lord Jesus wanted to put to rest

that sin doesn't always equal suffering, and suffering is not always because of sin.

It was a theological problem, and Jesus answered it. He said,

neither this man know his parents sin. And so the next question, therefore,

is why is suffering aloud? And Jesus went on to speak about it,

even though the question wasn't asked. He gave the answer because it will

be on all of our minds. Why then do people suffer and we suffer

or we go through problems or pain or even obstacles because God has a plan

for it. And Jesus says, so that the works of God should be

revealed in him. Then Jesus went on to say, I must work the

works of Him who sent me while it is day. The night is coming

when no one can work Verse five. As long as I am in the

world, I am the light of the world. When he said these things,

he's spat on the ground. Ooh. Some of you may not understand

why he did it, and this is the reason for today's message. I

would like to attempt to explain and suggest to you why God does things this

way. At times he spat on the ground and make clay with the saliva.

Some young people, you know, they cringe when they even read this,

because they go like, oh, this is gross. And he anointed

the eyes of the blind man with the clay. So we'll talk a little

bit more about that in a bit. Verse seven, He said to him,

go wash in the pool of Selom. He sent a blind man to

go and wash in a pool. Why couldn't he heal him on the spot.

Well, there are reasons why God tells us to do things, And

though he might be inconvenient, God has a plan. Siloam is translated sent.

So Jesus sent him to receive his healing. He went and washed and

came back. Seeing. Therefore, the neighbors and those who previously had seen

that he was blind, said, is not this he who sat and bagged?

Verse nine? Some said this is he? Others said he is like

him? But he said, I am he. Therefore they said to him,

how were your eyes open? He answered and said, a man called

Jesus made clay and anointed my eyes, and said to me go to the

pool of siloam and wash. So I went and washed, and I received

side hallelujah. Then they said to him where is he? He said,

I do not know. They brought him who formerly was blind to the pharisees.

Now it was a sabbath when Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes.

Then the Pharisees also asked him again how he had received his sight.

He said to them, he put clay on my eyes, and I washed,

and I see verse sixteen. Therefore some of the Pharisees said, this

man is not from God. Wow, what a conclusion. Why were the

Pharisees so confident that this man called Jesus couldn't be from God. Well,

the explanation is here. Because he does not keep the Sabbath. So again

this is a theological problem. And because their theology told them sabbaths don't do

work. So they expected that even healing and salvation and miracles and signs and

wonders cannot and should not happen, and so sometimes our theology actually blocks us

from our breakthrough. Can I hear amen? If you believe that our theology,

our perception of God can actually be unhealthy even though we are Christians and

maybe have been Christians for a long time. Sometimes even the way we fast

could be fasting at a wrong kind of theology or praying and a different kind

of understanding of God. We could be giving with a different hope because you

think that God is like you know, a trader that when you give him

something, he has to give you something back, or you think he's Santa

Claus. And there's a lot of things in our minds that we think this

could be God, and that could be God. And yet if he's not

and you think he is, then really what you and I are doing is

that we are praying to another God that we think is Jesus. So be

very careful Christians, because you can actually be practicing idolatry even though you're thinking

you're praying to Jesus, because as long as he is not that, then

he is not that. And I use the eight fifteen service to just give

you an example. That's just because these two ladies are weighing white. It

doesn't mean that Rachelle is also just me. And so although I think and

I'm talking to you like you're justmin you know, I'm saying, yeah,

you know Jumine this and that and and and yet what I think and who

I think I'm speaking to is not really Jesmine. And still this could be

happening with a Christian that you could be thinking and I think you're Rochelle just

because you know you're wearing a white jacket. So this could be. You

know, every day when you're praying, and if your theology is wrong,

then the God that you're praying to is almost like saying, that's not me.

I don't know who you're praying to, but that's not me. Oh

God, you are this kind of god. You punish people with blindness when

they sin. I don't know who you're talking about, but that's not me.

Who are you praying to? Because that's not me? Oh God,

you you will never forgive me for doing this. Oh I can't forgive myself.

I told you last week a story about a Filipino band boy who could

never forgive himself because he knew that God forgives, but his father on earth

never forgave him for anything. In fact, when he got seven, a's

the father will say, why didn't you get eight? So the father's always

to get false, always to get perfection. And so the man grew up

with a father like that, and when someone told him about a father in

heaven, we are explaining more to him, he equated the father in heaven

and the father on earth as the same. And so when he sinned,

he could never believe that the Father in heaven could forgive him. And so

for months, if not years, he struggled with this self image. He

struggled with forgiveness and unforgiveness until the day came when he had a breakthrough when

somebody told him the father in heaven is not like your father on earth.

And so, Father God, sometimes when you're praying to him, could be

saying could be saying, I don't know who you're talking to. You know,

you have your eyes closed, your head's bowed, you have your knees

bent on the floor. But Father God could be like, I don't know

who you're talking about, because I'm not like that. So you could be

praying to another god. And that's why our prayers sometimes don't go through.

So I want you to understand that the theology of the Pharisees was so warped,

was so out of sync, was so out of alignment with the true

God, and this God that we serve actually heals not just on Sabbath but

every day. But the Pharisees could not accept it because they had a theology

of God that God wanted everybody to rest so much so that even to do

good on a Sunday you won't do. And so this is not the kind

of God that we serve. And so it's very important to understand that our

theology can block us or even give us a breakthrough. The theology must be

right, Okay, so let's read on. Others said, how can a

man who is a sinner do such signs? And there was a division among

them. They said to the blind man again, what do you say about

him? Because he opened your eyes? He said, he's a prophet.

But the Jews did not believe concerning him that he had been blind and receive

his side until they call the parents of him who had received his side,

and they asked him, ask them, sorry is saying is this your son

who you say was born blind? How then does he now see? His

parents answered them and said, we know that this is our son, and

that he was born blind. But by what means he now sees, we

do not know, or who opened his eyes, we do not know.

He's of age. Ask him he will speak for himself. His parents said

these things because they feared the Jews. Why, because the Jews has a

theology, and if anybody challenges the theology, they get excommunicated. So they

were afraid, all right, And the Jews had already agreed that if anyone

confessed that he was Christ, he would be put out of the synagogue.

Few of versus. Therefore, his parents said, he's of age, ask

him just two more of uses. So they again called the man who was

blind, and said to him, give glory or sorry, give God the

glory. We know that this man is a sinner verse twenty five. He

answered and said, whether he is a sinner or not, I do not

know one thing. I know that though I was blind, Now I see.

So let's get a quick review of what I spoke about last Sunday.

The next light will tell you Opportunities are often disguised as obstacles, and that's

why so many of us missed them. Seeing every problem as an opportunity to

work the works of God is what I wanted. Ex Church got the Camuni,

if not the whole of ex Church, and all those listening to this

message on audio or video to catch that God allows for testing so that we

can get testimony. And God allows for problems and pain and all kinds of

trouble so that we can allow Him to work in our lives, to work

in our situation the works of God. So everyone, I pray before I

even finish the second part of this two part series, will know and believe

in your mind and heart that you know your problem is not just a chance,

is just something that you know. God is so unfaithful to you that

he allows you to go through something because you sin or whatever it is.

And he says, you know, I don't care. I'm just gonna allow

my son, my daughter to go through something without a purpose behind it.

So the purpose behind I need. The next slight says it is to approach

every difficulty as an opportunity to reveal God's power and to give him glory.

All right, So John Chep the nine verse one to five which we just

read, gave us the first message last Sunday, and I just want to

rehearse this with you. There are five things to consider before the work of

God can be worked. Okay, so the point number one is a theological

problem. So Jesus tackle that theological problem. Why who's sin this man or

his parents theological problem? And again I want to say to you, if

you have wrong theology, you can't even go to point two because you can

do whatever you want to give more Manila, pray, harder, lah fast,

smaller. If you your theology of God is wrong, then whatever you

do after that is like you know, you're chowing pearls to swine or you

are you know, dropping you know, treasure into a bottomless So I want

you to understand that Jesus gave us five ways to approach a problem, a

pain, a testing and first of all, get a good, healthy perception

and perspective of God. Number two involve God. Always put a God perspective

into your problems. Always always. Oh, the exam is tomorrow Monday.

I'm not really prepared, but God will help me study, you know,

in the last few hours I have on Sunday, and I pray that God

will help me lead me to the right chapters. You know, I'm saying

all this because I use this. During my three years of studying for law

studying to get a law degree, there were days where I tell you what,

Monday, the exam was ready for me, but I was not ready

for the exam, and I asked the Lord to help me. And the

Lord really led me and guided me to allow me to finish my li A

degree in three years. And so you just got to be able to say,

yeah, I am this, but God is with me. I am

that, but God will not leave me nor forsake me. I am in

trouble, but God is my answer. I am in pain, but God

is my healer. Always put a God perspective, and Jesus did that.

He first of all dealt with a geological problem said no, no one said,

no, one said, But then he goes on to God. But

this is because it will show and reveal God. I'm in this situation because

God will be glorified. Number three, Jesus says, I must work the

works of Him. So he knew his purpose. And I tell you you

know you want to see God's work, you must know your purpose is to

glorify him. God is not giving you a purpose and causing you to fall

and causing you to be forgotten. Your purpose and my purpose is to live

to glorify God. So Jesus knew I am here to work the works of

God. Whatever problem, whatever trouble, that's my purpose. And then he

says while he's still there, meaning there is a time to do this.

Please don't do tomorrow what you can do today, and please don't do next

week what you should do this week. Are you with me? Because timing

is very important with God? And I shared that review also last week.

If you want more of that message, you can get it on the Emptygy

online and more is shared there, including a testimony of past the Gloria where

she was so afraid that she couldn't afford the eighteen thousand ring it for the

funeral of her mom. And I stepped up, you know, because the

Lord brought me to the mortuary to encourage her. And because I was there,

I knew my purpose. I said, Lord, I really believe that

she should continue with this funeral service, even though it's eighteen thousand ring it.

But she was so down because it was so much money. She didn't

have it, and they were already making arrangements to do something else, to

actually have the funeral in the apartment. They didn't know in their desperation,

they didn't know that the apartment management, no apartment management wiever allow of funeral

to be had in the apartment. And yet the Lord gave me the timing.

The timing is not tomorrow, the timing is now. So I stepped

up to Pasta Gloria. I said, Gloria, I want to let you

know, please keep doing or rather planning for the funeral with this professional Suturn

was the name of the professional undertakers. I said, do it say,

But Pasta is eighteen thousand, I said, Gloria, God is going to

provide. So I had to step up to give the encouragement. And she

said, Pastor, I believe, I trust, I trust, and God

not only supplied every cent for the funeral, gave her extra so that she

can bury and she can build the tombstone and all that. So Gloria is

settled financially. But sometimes we feel a little bit scared to speak up.

You know, some of us are who are working in boards like board meetings

or working in boards, but you're part of a board sometimes that you have

a good idea, but you don't to speak up. You have somebody to

say, but you don't speak up my line. Know I'm so young,

I'm so small. No speak up when you need to, because the Lord

has given you a time to do what you need to do. Okay.

Now, of course, finally number five is knowing our identity because Jesus says,

I am the light of the world. As long as I am in

the world, I must be the light. So if you know who you

are and what your biggest contribution is to mankind, to your family, to

your marriage, to your company, to your church, to your life,

know who you are, know what you carry, know your your your gift

things, know your talents, and step up in the right time to do

the right thing. And I tell you what, you will begin to see

the works of God. Everybody okay, and God will be glorified. So

there you go, ladies and gentlemen, review for last Sunday and hope I

did okay, all right, So now I'm gonna tackle how the work works.

All right. Before that it was let me get it back again.

Before that, it was before the work works. Before it even works,

you need to consider five things, Okay, theology. Get it right,

step up, step up on time, all right, and contribute what you

are God has made you special. Contribute your gifts, your talent. Okay.

So you need to know that Jesus showed the way before the work works.

Do that. Step up, and now how does the works? How

do the works work? Or how the work works? Okay, this is

important. So I'm gonna give you now five or six more points for today

so that you can identify when God is doing something in your life. Okay,

let's read again John chapter nine, verse six. When he had said

these things, he spat on the ground and make clay with the sliver,

and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay. And he

said to him, go wash in the pool of siloam, which is translated

said So he went and washed and came back seeing Point number one. Are

you ready? Point number one, Jesus spat on the ground and make clay,

make clay. Number one is to begin with whatever comes out from God's

mouth. I know some of you are grossed out, and it's not always

that Jesus spits on the ground. This is probably one of the only scripture

that shows you that. So as I was studying it. The Lord spoke

to me and said, Kenneth, what came out of my mouth was spit,

all right, but this is how you should teach it that what See,

the first thing that Jesus did before the miracle happened was to get something

out of his mouth. And so Matthew four four, when Satan was tempting

Jesus, Jesus says, it is written member Satan asked Jesus to turn the

stone to bread, and Jesus says, it is written, man shall not

live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the command,

out of the mouth of God. If you want to see a miracle

in your life, you want to see God move in your life, you

want to see breakthroughs in your life, always start with what comes out of

his mouth. What is he saying to you, What is he telling you

to do? How is he encouraging you? What is his word to you?

What is his promise to you? So when I look at it,

I don't look at the spit. I look at what came out of his

mouth. He is very important. But let me tell you, there are

times when God speaks to you and it seems like he's pitting on you because

it's not always that what he says is easy. He's not always that what

he says is nice. Are you still with me? He's not always what

he says it's pleasant or even easy to do. Let me now give you

one or two testimonies, and by the grace of God, I have quite

a few, but we don't have time. But I tell you there are

many says in my walk with the Lord. Wait, it wasn't just first

says the Lord. It was first sped the Lord, first spare the Lord.

That's all I remember. I told the eight fifteen one testimony. I'll

just fast forward. I asked the Lord for money to start my ministry,

and the Lord said after two weeks. He was silent, and then he

said to me, after two weeks, why are you asking for me for

money when you have money in the bank. And I said, to God,

please don't touch that. Then he said to me, you mean you

want me to touch other people's money before you touch yours. And I knew

that it was not even right. Right. You're got to touch your own

money before you ask for other people's money, and after you're willing to give

and to soul and God will move other people's hearts. So he spat on

me painful because all I had in my bank account after getting married was seven

thousand ring kit of antau that I had Plan B. God said to me,

Kenneth's change. What's Plan B? I said, Plan B is when

Plan A fails. And then God says, can chan what's plenty? I

had to think for a while. I didn't dare say it, but I

had to say because God asked me. I said, plenty is your plan?

And God says, do you think my plan will fail? And a

lot of people, even Christians, who have planed B. And then we

say we live by faith and then we haven't seen any big miracles yet.

I want to, you know, constantly, teach you if I can,

and I humbly say it, teach you the ways of God so that all

of you can live life and life more abundantly, not just life. A

lot of us have life, but we haven't really seen the abundant life.

Is Jesus a liar when he said I give you abundant life? That's what's

going on? Is he the one that needs to change or we need to

change? He will meet us halfway. That's why he says faith. Without

faith, it's impossible to please me. So I went to the bank and

I said, can I make a withdrawal? The clerk says how much?

I said, ah, why because I only had seven thousand left in my

bank and the ministry needed six nine hundred and sixty. God doesn't allow you

too much room of comfort, you know, although he led me forty ring

it to live the rest of my life six nine six zero, you know

somewhere that I can't even remember the exactly, mam. But I knew there

was nothing left, nothing left, and so we started, the ministry started

the cafe. Then the miracles happened. White envelope under my door, white

envelope in my post box, white envelope in between the handshake, you know,

can actually your hand. My mind is a little bit sweat, you

know, but it's okay, right, Uh, and is better than spiitler

And you know, white envelopes in between the hands, right envelope, white

jacket enough and and and uh you know, until today, I still love

white envelopes, Haledlyah, praise God. Uh. And there's money, you

know, Miracles begin to happen and the lot provided to provide it. Then

some years past, maybe there's only one and a half two years, and

Love spoke to me again, he says Kenneth. At that time, uh,

you know, although I was running the cafe and it was quite cooler,

I was doing drinks, I was saying wearing an apron, so I

was also expressed sola, but I was having a very apron. There's still

photos of that time in my office. And I was cutting onions and uh

you know all that and ministering to young people. And then the Lord began

to ask me go out and speak. So I went out to speak.

Used to run something called gig get into God, and wherever we went around

the country, God will bring young people by the hundreds. The first place

that was packed was Alostar in a church called FGC. I walked in and

there were four hundred seats all packed with three hundred youth. And my name

was not known. A Ya was a funny name, My a Ya,

And I called the band a Ya band, so it's AA band, and

so you don't know what you'll get from my AA band. But but you

know, they were all young people. I brought them to FGC from here,

KL took the bus and wherever we went, the Holy Spirit will bring

young people by the hundreds. And within five years we saw three thousand young

people give their lives to Jesus. So we praise God for that. All

glory to God and good because I did not have a Bible degree, I

wasn't a great preacher. I did did not have a great not a great

name for a band, nothing like that. So all glory to God.

And then as I was speaking and the speaking engagements begin to increase, I

remember a time where I did KDUCF camp, you know, three years in

a row, first year himself. There was a guy called Ryan came from

EPO backsided and he came to the altar at the camp, gave his life

back to Jesus. And then now he's a pastor of Harve's jen and and

so we've touched many, many of these precious pressures young people who have become

leaders. But the Lord said to me, give up your KFE And I

said, Lord, you know, he said, no, Kenneth, I'm

gonna use you to reach many more young people. So I decided to follow

God's voice. All right, he hasn't spared me yet this is just this

is easy easy. I would consider it easy. I would consider it easy

because compared to what he's a to tell me, he's not spitting it.

He says, said, Kenneth, give up your cafe. So I went

and looked around for people who would buy the cafe. Finally one man came

and said, I'll offer you thirteen thousand ring. I was looking for twenty,

he said, thirteen. But I was desperate to move on to start

a ministry in Subang Daya where you know, all the colleges were around us,

and I wanted the minister to as many young people as possible. Thirteen

thousand rigid okay Okaya, just start up because I need this money to go

and start this new ministry in Subunkaya. As s fifteen. Ah, what

happened was I get an invitation to go and have dinner, the pastor says.

On the other side, he says, Kenneth, I put together a

dinner for some you know, high net worth people Christians who I wanted to

hear a vision can support. He says, Kenadetha, I've invited two people.

You. Another passor called Pastor Robert Judah Paul, who has a ministry

in town Kate Road. Okay, very good, mystry ministers among the dog

addicts, the prostitutes. Okay. So I went to this dinner and they

asked me to stand up. So Kenneth is leading a youth ministry, a

ya, and I've invited him. There were only four tables, four small,

small meeting and the rest all were multi million airs and some high network

people maybe CEOs or whatever. And then they asked me set up, so

I stood up. They gave me about ten minutes. So I spoke about

my heart for young people, gos hard for young people, and you know

I was formerly a lawyer, blah blah blah, and I gave that all

up. And you know, now I'm having a cafe and I'm serving a

god, and you know it's been good. So you know, it's not

nice to stand up and also say I need your money, right, It's

not so nice. So I just you know, share as much as I

can, I said down. Then next is Robert Judah Paul. He's no

longer us is with a lot uh already he passed away during the pandemic.

But Robert Robert did a Paul used COSI the cross because he had white beard,

you know, uh, like really thick white beard. Ever, I

think you put it. Send the class costume and name. He will make

extra money. But he stood up and talked about the chocolate ministry, well,

very powerful. You know some people they minister too, will actually no

longer be around the next day because they are close to death. And he

told one story was very sad and also a little gruesome, is that he

will find people on the street drinking water from the drain of chocolate. Uh,

no other water to drink, so drink the water in the drain from

chocolate. And h they have wounds so deep you can see the bone with

maggots coming out of the wound. All right, so uh they will take

them, clean them, take them, uh and feed them, and he

could be the last meal they ever had, and the next day they die.

Some would die in a week, some would die in two weeks.

He's standing there and I'm also very touched by his testimony, and he says

down and then he stands up again. It's oh, sorry, sorry,

one more thing. I hope to start a cafe so that I can bring

this people, cause now we have no place to bring them. We just

give them peck cat food. But we would like to have a cafe where

we can cook and give these precious people one last hot meal. Wow,

what a wonderful mission, one last hot meal before they die, and tell

them that Jesus loves them. As he sat down, God speed at me.

Play canne give him your cafe? Give him, don't sellah, give

him your cafe. And I was about to say, Satan, get behind

me. Yeah, I tell you the truth, and then I knew God's

voice by then. No, So I'm going like what And I'm the second

one is even had her? What am I going to tell my wife?

She probably already thinks that she's married to a crazy man who's giving up all

our unboos, living by faith, no salary. So I said, oh

Lord, how am I going to tell my wife? So I struggled with

it. I struggled with it. I was in the car driving back and

my wife was not talking about the dinner, and and I, you know,

like begining small talk with me, you know, but you know when

you're really deep in taller, you can't make very many small talks. Yeah,

nice food was okay? Yeah, Yeah, I'm like, how am

I going to tell this to you. So I got enough guts. Just

before we slept, I said, there are you? Are you sleepy?

You're about to go to sleep? Yeah? Can I just talk to you

for a moment? I don't better if she was very sleepy that. She

actually didn't have very much response. I just said, God told me to

give ourkfa away. She said, or really you've got told you? Then?

Okailler? Then she went to sleep. Very helpful. I mean,

if God has told you, what else do you want to say? Right?

Okay? So she went to sleep and she slept. Well, I

didn't sleep a wink. And I'm struggling with God because he sped at me.

Yeah, sometimes God spits at you. Do you understand one? Pay?

Oh disgusting? Oh why God, you're so cruel? Can you just

wave your hand, speak a word and the blind man will be here?

What are you doing? See? If there's nothing, there's no accident in

the Bible. Everything you can learn from he sped. He chose to split

that day, something that came out. You know, Jesus is God.

Anything that come up with his mouth is going to be holy, even his

spit. He sped me, and I couldn't sleep and Then I had a

deal with God. I said God, I will call the man tomorrow.

I have his card, and if he doesn't under the answer the phone,

then at least I try. I thought to myself, No, Abraham,

Isaac, I just try, lift up my dagger and hopefully God will say,

hey, I charge here joking with you. I'm kidding. No,

no, no, no no, Now, I know you feel me.

Don't have to do this. I'll bless you. So I had a deal

with God. I said, God, you know, if he's not at

home, I'll take it as I try. Okay, God, faith.

So I woke up very early because I didn't sleep. So seven o'clock in

the morning, low seven o'clot the morning calling people though. I phoned him

and a lady answered the phone. Hello, I said, oh Halleljah,

first good sign, I said, hello, is Robert Judah Paul here?

She says, hold on. Not a very good sign. He came to

the phone. He says hello, he's got a deep voice. I said,

hello, pasta. I don't even know what what to calla paulasted Robo

Judahs. So I called the whole name passed Robert Judah Paul. Hi,

I wonder where they can remember me. I'm Kenneth's chin. And he said,

no, it's very difficult. You're about to give somebody something they can't

even remember you from last night. No, And I see if there were

a lot of people standing up to say anything, I was the only other

guy that stood up to say something. Okay, go aheads ready to test

your pride? Notice ah uh huh? So I said, well I was

there. I was the guy that shared last night besides you. Oh yeah,

oh yeah, sorry sorry Kenneth, Sorry, yeah, yeah, yea,

yeah that's right, yeah, sorry, yeah, just woke up,

So you just woke up. I didn't sleep there. Said what is it

about, Kenned? What can I do for you? And I said,

actually, pastor is what I can do for you. Remember not last night

you said you needed a cafe, you know? He said, ah,

yeah, that's right. Uh. I don't know why I even said.

You know, you know what's going on inside me? Then you sure have

shut you know, you know, like, why don't put your mouth?

You know you put your I can also people know. I don't know why

I said it. You shouldn't sit anything, you know. That's all I'm

saying to myself. I kept my composure. Oh but anyway, past you

say it, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, And as you said it,

the Lord told me, you know way, I said, a lord

to be out? No no, no, no no no no no no,

because you don't really told you that, you hope it A lot did

tell you. The Lord told me to give you my cafe. And there

was silence for at least about I don't know, it felt like thirty seconds,

by a tie, maybe five. So I thought, hey, he

died or what And if he died of so it's okay because I get to

keep a cafe and he goes up to heaven means a good deal, right,

yeah, good deal. So I actually had to say, Pastor Robert

Judappau, you're still there, he said, I am, Kenneth, But

I'm speechless, Kenneth. You know right, how many rich men were there,

but none has said anything to me? He said, did they say

anything to you? I said no. So he takes someone who's poor to

give away, so basically we're not poorer, we're rich in God. You

see. So he said, I'm speechless. But God does it again and

again when again and again he actually wanted to use rich people, but reach

people sometimes very slow to be used because sometimes money can be there God.

Sometimes some rich people are very good. Yeah they love God, they serve

God. But there's the many who are telling you, even Christians very slow

and very slow. Maybe they're their pocket very heavy, but out of obedience.

Right, God sped at me already, and so I said, yeah,

come and get your cafe right, and he said, a lordie in

one week's time. And the guys that came up the laudier, I tell

you. When I saw that, I thought to myself, even if God

didn't tell me, I would have still given it away because they were big

size, gangster looking tattoos everywhere. When they smile, I mean fast,

no teeth or no, only one or two left right, and then you

wait, singlear ready to work. And so when he said high, pasta,

whoar, I tell you right, even the armpit hairs against you,

I said, okay. So the so I know I was almost going to

do the the Michael Jackson back walk, and and uh, they said pasta,

hello, they'll give me a heart who huge. I couldn't. I

couldn't quite you know, touch my fingers when I was hanging it. And

they said we are here to take the case. I said, yes,

please go ahead. I built a very nice counter, uh you know,

design him myself. And they went in there and put their leg on the

counter and started sawing it into half sorrier pasta. My lord, he cannot

take the long counter. So we saw into half as they saw in my

heart. And because it's the counter I love, I designed it myself.

And so they left. They left, and I was hoping that, you

know, they were you turn back, they would meet the angel at the

friend, that the angel would say, go give back Kenneth all his stuff,

for I've now seen him faithful, you know. But the further they

ran, the more I felt this won't happen. God spat at me,

and I went back into my empty cafe only with one table and two chairs.

And these chairs and table are they operate with the ALANKI so the alanky

is not strong, not firm, nor tight. It rocks. So I'm

sitting there and no wonder the didn't take the chair because they thought it was

booken. So I'm just sitting there like that right thinking about my future.

And about half an hour later I hear the bell ring of the door and

a man steps in. His name is Stephen. He's from subang Jaya.

Where is the next place I'm gonna move to? Subangjaya. He comes in

and he looks around, says Kenneth Emptier. He knows my name. I

don't know his name, Kenneth Emptier. I said, yeah, there used

to be a cafe here. Oh you're moving. I guess, So where

to sub Bangjaia? You know when you're not sure? So Super, I'm

from Suba. Can I sit down? And then both of us grown men

rocking away on this two chairs, and he says, tell me you're sorry.

So I talk about forty five minutes, maybe when an hour? Because

I have so much share. He says, wow, Kenneth, I love

it. I love it. Oh God must have sent me here today.

I'm gonna go back. I'm gonna talk to my friends, and uh,

I will tell you as soon as I have this meeting what transpires. He

actually comes back the next day, twenty four hours later, because when he

went home and caught his friends, maybe a five seven friends, all of

them say they can make it for that night meeting with him. You know

sometimes that Christians cannot pray a body forstla you know, next week or next

one and next year, you know. Sorry, La, I know I

have to go and marry. Sorry, I'm going to marry, you know,

or but dead neither by the grace of God. Okay. And so

he shared the vision, our vision, my vision with the friends, and

the friends together corporately came out with answer. So he came to tell me

the answer. So, walking away again on the two chairs, says Kenneth,

this is a miracle. Usually when I call my friends, all of

them will have you know, not all of them can come at one time,

but all seven came something like that, seven or five. And I

just want to let you know. Welcome to Subanjaya, Welcome to s S

fifteen, that shoplot that you saw right opposite Taylor's College. We are gonna

pay the rental, pay the deposit, uh, put up ECNS and do

all that for you for two years, everything provided for right. And he

said, he said, okay, Kenneth, of course, I said,

no, let me pray about it. If ah, I said, let

me pray about it. No, I didn't because I already prayed about it.

And then he said, ken Kenneth can two years? I said,

you me and your friends came together and decided like this. So yeah,

you know, you know, if it's of God, it is of God.

You don't have to wait another day or another month or another year.

God moves. You don't know his name. He knows your name. God

knows our names. God knows our timing, God knows everything. Trust in

him. And so I ran, I'll tell you what. When he left

her, I was holding my tears. No, not nice to cry find

a man that you don't know. So I'm tears rolling down my face.

And when you know, my even my table was gone, and my phone

is on the floor, and I took up, you know, the phone,

and I dial my wife's number, and I said, yeah, I'm

really interest. You know, you do know what happened? What happened?

Ting dong? The bell rang again. I said, hold on, someone's

in the door. The white away my tears said. I ran, and

a lady you know came in and she sees me he can earth sorryer and

she runs towards me, and I run towards her, and we met somewhere

in the middle and she she said, sorry, I has to rush.

I take my two daughters to Yamaha Music class. This is a white envelope.

Hallelujah, white envelope, Praise God. And I opened the white envelope

after she left, and in there was a check for ten thousand ring it.

Right, I calculated the whole thing. It was at least three times

more than the thirteen thousand ring it if I would have to sold it,

if I had had to sell if I did sell my cafe, thirteen thousand,

this one all together ten thousand plus the rental support and all that deposits

of the is at least thirty nine thousand ringing. God is no man's debtor.

But not only that, the cafe I gave away, I'm probably still

reaping the rewards under the day because I didn't sell it. I gave it

away. And so as the drug addicts and prostitutes are having their last meal

or hopefully their first meal towards Christ, they're eating all my plate with my

spoon, and for are your still with me? And that's why it calculates,

because God said to do this, He sped on me. Yes,

then sometimes you feel like God just sped on you when he told you to

give, and you didn't have money when he told you to serve when you

didn't have time. It sounds like this God doesn't understand you, doesn't understand

what you're going through, and so it feels like a spit. Okay,

I spend most of my time on number one because number one is very important.

He sometimes asks you, I know passa. Daniel came into full time

telling me, you know, this is his salary every month and it's a

good salary from Sunway and this is his bonus. If he's just stayed on

up the march and yet he heard God say you got to go in.

Now he's sped on YouTube. Brother, he spared on YouTube. Yeah he

does this. I do this. You know, he spits on us.

I do that time you can't see I got I know, have time.

And that's that's why some of us we didn't. We don't understand the spirit.

We turn around and we walk away. Ah, you know what kind

of God is this? But he's spared because he knew the man who's going

to see. He's not after our inconvenience. He's after our increase and our

breakthrough and our blessing. All this all with me. I'm sharing with you

the love of God. And even sometimes he sounds cruel, even disgusting,

that a god would treat you like that. And yet if you can see

what is behind the act, out of his mouth came life. We live

not by bread and norma, by every word that pushes out the mouth of

God. So he's sped on where he spits directly to the man's face.

No, he's sped on the ground. This is point number two. Point

number two is he spits on the earth or the ground in and by and

with and through which man was made. So, if you read Genesis,

it is out of the earth that God forms men. And so the meaning

of this to me is that God spits on his very creation. He spits

on men because he's saying, I want to use men. Don't you think

God can do things himself on his own? Of course he can. Does

he need you? Does he need me? Of course he doesn't, but

he wants us. And so he spits on earth by which man was made.

So the learning of this is he wants to involve you, and if

you respond to him, you become the ground, the earth, you know,

speaking about the man, the human being that responds to that which comes

out of God's mouth. So out of God's mouth. But it's not just

God who's doing this. He wants to partner with me. He spits on

the ground, not directly on the man's face, Praise God. He spits

on Kenneth's chin, who's made of earth. And to dust, earth,

to earth. I will go back, you know, unless the Lord comes

back and I get lifted up to the heavens. I will also be in

the earth because from dust you came from dus you return. I am the

ground, I am the earth. He wants to use me. Aye,

say okay, oh yes, Lord. Response, I don't understand. God,

but okay, I don't have what it takes. God, But okay.

I don't have all the time. God, But okay, I don't

have all the money. God, But okay, all these commitments God,

But okay, I don't know how it's gonna work. God, but okay.

And he takes both his spirit that risk came off his mouth and the

earth, which is your life, and he makes it into clay. It

is the clay that he applies on the man's eyes. God, and you

applied to the problems of the world. God, and you applied to the

pain that's on the earth. God and you are. You all stay with

me, very very important to understand what's happening. You see, friends,

there's no point he's spat and there's no point he makes clay if he doesn't

apply it. What is the use of Benny hind So A lot of people

say he's very annointed. If he just stays at home and watched TV,

nobody would be able to be blessed by the clay. The clay has to

go out and apply it to people's sickness, apply to people's disease, pray

for people. What is the good of Billy Graham he had if he was

clay in God's hands and he just played golf, fifty million people came to

know Jesus recorded through Billy Graham's ministry, fifty million. It's more than malaysious

population. That means Billy Graham, by the grace of God, brought a

whole country to the Lord. The clay must be applied then this way a

lot of people feel. If you don't feel it's fitting, and you don't

feel a response, you might fail. And oh Lord, thank you for

the spit, thank you for using me. And here I am. I'm

just gonna be myself do my thing and forget the world because you know you're

just making clay for clay's sake. Thank you very much, Bye bye,

good night. No, I can go on right out. Bon K wouldn't

have won seventy million people to the Lord if the clay wasn't applied. Maybe

okay. So when you talk about anointing in clay is about using applying the

anointing he gives to us, he puts on us. Let's talk about anointing

for about two minutes. Anointing just means this to me. It is something

of God put on us to do something that only God can do, or

at least once to do so. In olden days, in the in the

Old Testament, when a king favors the person below him, like Joseph and

Daniel, usually he takes off his ring sicknet ring, and he gives it

to that man, and the man will put on that ring as something that

is not his, but from the king. So when you have an anointing,

it's not yours. It's something that God puts on you a bit of

him. And then of course you know the sick that ring from the king

is authority. And now Joseph and Daniel gets to move. But what's the

use of the ring If there's no move, if there's no physicians, if

there's no action, then it just becomes jewelry pieling. Okay, God is

not into pilot God, it's not just into cosmetics. He gives us things

so that we can change the world. It's not ours, it's his.

And that's why the Bible says the anointing bricks that you're if you really only

want to break yokes in your life and the life of others, please understand.

He will spit and you will respond as the earth. But together you

will make clay that will be applied on blindness. Are we together? Are

we on the same page at least in the same universe? All right?

So God wants something to get done, so he gives us something of himself,

the anointing, and the anointing is gonna break the yoke. So when

I annoint you, I give you something of me, of me to you.

And that's why we teach, even from the Bible that we are under

authority. We recognize that this is not our own, is not my mission,

is not my power, is not my glory. This is God on

me and I need to be not only submissive but accountable. I have to

remember it is on me from the Lord for a purpose. Okay, don't

get proud, don't get proud, and don't take the glory for yourself.

So the active words are use, apply, do something. Okay, not

just annointing. If you think that the active word was anointing the clay,

I'm telling you right now, the clay is nothing without the application, all

right. So the active words is not the anointing, but the usage of

the annointing, the application, do something with it. Somebody say amen,

and so let me say one more thing about annoying thing and I move on.

Anointing is nothing until and an less applied. Anointing is nothing until and

a less applied. And all those men and women have got that we respect

has gone out to serve God sacrificially and apply. When we have a prayer

time in the front, we have prayer support team coming up. They have

an annointing on their lives as well, and so when they stand in front

of you their pray. It's not that they are the most special people in

the world. I'm not. But we have something of God on us.

And when we lay hands on the sick. Here and where we prophesy and

where we pray for people, something is being applied to their lives. And

you've got to believe that the blind will see they Therefore here the lame will

walk all right. Impossibilities will become possibilities, Darkness will become light, Ugliness

will become beauty. We've gotta believe. And that's why we never forsake praying

for people at the front, because we believe we have something. Not that

you know, we are God, No we're not. We have something from

the Lord. And even if it's just God told you to pray for people,

that's also something something from the Lord. So you obey. And do

you know, do you understand that when we come up here to pray for

people are some days we don't feel like you know, But your feeling is

not important because your feeling is not what heals people is the anointing that is

applied out of obedience. So I can also come up here, I can

also hear my problems. I'm I also got my problems, and I've got

to pray far other people with problems. Do it because the Lord told you

to. And so when you do it, whether you feel like you or

not, God will move because His word is being applied everybody. Okay,

Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Okay, we're drawing towards the last

lap. So that is how miracles happened. That is how miracles happened.

And amazingly, you know, that was the story of how we went from

the cafe to Subanjaya. And for the next maybe ten fifteen years we saw

so many college students come to know the Lord. And you know, I'll

save that story for another time. And of course extras who started there as

well, and exchers grew from three people to today where we are, by

the grace of God, about three thousand people across ten nations. But to

God be the glory. But let me finish off by telling you a few

things. So after he spat and the earth responded, and together with God

we make clay, and God puts that anointing uses your life and puts it

on blind people and people that have needs. The next two thoughts is followed

up by the instruction. So the instruction is, blind man, go and

wash in the pool of silover. So as you respond to God and are

ready to apply the anointing, apply the clay on the problem. God is

going to give you further instructions. You thought that after the clay was put

counting. A lot of us are people like that. We are people who

are impatient. We hope that one to three steps enough done God, Okay,

it's done. But I want to let you know that God will continue

to give you instructions. And it's not just one instruction. Sometimes it can

be a journey of instructions. Now go left, Now, go straight like

ways, you know, right in two hundred meters, turn right round about

you know whatever. Okay, the third exit, God, could you give

you instructions? And so his instruction to the blind man was go wash.

Now this sounds like a very cruel thing or so, because why do you

ask a blind man to go and wash in the pool? Why couldn't you

just do it there? Because God is after obedience. And so the man

who's blind, you know, I don't know whether he was guided by other

people, I presume so, but he now has to inconveniently go and find

And some of you feel like that. You feel like you're also you know,

blind, and you're going through some things that you don't you're not fully

clear about. And yet you have been sent. Sila means sen and God's

gonna send you. You gotta believe me, that's what he does. He's

gonna send you to follow up on what you firstly obeyed. Let me give

you an undestiny before I close. So about two years ago, the Lord

told me, Kenneth, I was praying in my prayer room. Kenneth,

look at your window. I didn't want to look at my window. I'll

tell you why. Because for eleven years the back of my house was incomplete

incomplete construction. You know how ugly this with metal rods coming out, And

for eleven years it's been like that, so you know it's rusted. Okay.

People have come to try to help, say, hey, Kenneth,

you gotta put plastic around the metal rods. Otherwise you know it will break

off, he will get rusty. I paid five hundred init about five years

ago to put plastic around the metal rods, and then because of weather,

after two years, the plastic was are gone. So five hundreds of flu

away. And why was it like that? Because when I extended the house

and renovated it, God gave me a miracle and I was able to raise

up money, not only to buy the house. All this, you know,

I'll give you another time another testimony. The testimony of getting the house

is crazy, all right, God gave me the house without even me having

money. But I'll give you that story another time. And so the renovation

money came two hundred and fifty thousand, that's what they say. Okay,

you know that's what it's going to cost. So, as we were renovating

their house eleven years ago, and I was putting a room there for my

wife's parents, and you know, they've been staying with us for eighteen years,

my parents in law, and so we did up the place and we

wanted to build upstairs, but for some reason, the budget bloated to three

hundred and sixty thousand, so we're now one hundred and ten thousand out of

budget. So I paid that by the grace of God, but I couldn't

finish the construction. So that's why it's left this ugly looking thing with metal

rods coming out. So I'm very seldom when I'm praying in my prayer room

look outside, because I know what I will see. And the Lord said

to me two years ago, kens look out. I'm like, God,

I know I'm going to see, but anyway, so I look out and

I see the same thing I've been seeing for ten years, at least nine

years two years ago. And I look out and I'm saying, so ugly.

Now. I look at my neighbors, right, all my neighbors.

I was very nice. And then I'm thinking to myself, I wonder what

my neighbors are thinking about me being a servant of the Lord and cannot finish

his house. And then the Lord says, yeah, that's right, God

says, not just your name, says Stake, Kenneth. My name is

at Stake. I know warn you witnessing to your neighbors, are telling them

that Jesus is Lord, my God supplies all my needs. And then he

said, hey, Canada your house. Have we been seeing this very ugly

incomplete construction. And I mean they haven't said it, but you know,

there was a composition beyond my mind. And the Lord says, Kenneth,

show your neighbors that I'm able, show your neighbors that I can provide.

And you know I cannot tell you the truth I had. I had five

thousand ringgit in my bank account, and I knew that five thousand ring it

was not enough for the renovation. So I said, Lord, I don't

have the money, and God just sit towards and you know, I felt

like he sped on me again asking me to do something that I had no

money. And yet I know, I knew, and I know that God

only wants my good. He only wants my house to be beautiful, my

neighbors to see that. No, no, my neighbors are all asking all

communities okay on Earth, your finelishing are very nice. And because the architecture

done by Daniel Salil, which is another testimony, because you know, after

I said yes, Lord, he sped on me and I said I cannot

Lord, I don't have money. Then the earth responded and God was able

to make clay. But this clay took two years ago to respond because after

I said yes, I didn't move for two more years. I said,

really, what you want me to do? So the clay was ready,

but it wasn't apply. It wasn't applied. So two years which was just

six months ago, God says, Kenneth, it clays ready. What are

you waiting for? I said, waiting for money? In now he said

said, haven't you been walking with me long enough to know that You go

and then I'll show. You mean you want me to show first? Then

you go up? I said, no, God, I understand. Go

and then you show, not not show, And then I go, okay,

I understand that. So long. What do you want me to do?

He says, call for architect to draw? Moving moving along? I

said, okay, moving along? Yeah, I don't words, just what

this talk? Move it along? Called the architect? Make a commitment or

make a commitment? Wow? So I say, who shall be the architect

in my heart? Called Denzel? Denzel is short for Then they say,

look, called Denzel. Okay, so I don't have number. I took

my wife's phone call call him. You know, the timing was perfect.

I called him, Hey Denzel, Hey, passa, how are you?

I say, hey, you know I'm trying to build something here. Can

you help me have a look? Maybe draw something for me? He is

passed for some reason. I'm just driving past your area. I'll be there

in five minutes. Scary. You know, when God moves, he doesn't

stay here me no, right, So he drives in. He sits down,

He looks at the place he draws something out really nice one day,

maybe again, but you are to come and see this really nice place and

draws it for me. And uh. Then that's that's moving along with putting

a comple million. Then he says, okay, now that you have the

drawing, show it to the contractor. Oh okay, So I showed the

contractor. The contractor came back to me. About about two weeks later,

he says, Kenneth is gonna cost you one hundred and ninety eight thousand.

You know, I guess Himla, you know when you only have five thousand,

It doesn't matter when it's one hundred ninety eight or two hundred ninety eight

orree undred ninety You just don't have that, you know what I'm saying,

so illy him, And I said, oh. Then the rod says,

come on, talk talk talk, canne talk keep the boat rolling. You

got to apply the clay, apply the clay. Okay, I said,

when can you start? And he was so busy. He was so busy.

I was hoping he'll say six months, say there, because six months

can make a difference. I don't know what difference with miga. Then God

moves that he only need six minutes by sometime. If you think, let's

give God a chance, give him six months. Give God more time because

God needs time. And so I said, casey, case you how you

start? When can you start? He said next month? No by now

I'm praying tongues in. I didn't say it loud because this guy, no

nong Christian won't understand. So he said next month, next month? Okay,

So how money? I sing a postala money? No enough for?

I said, I don't have enough money. The one hundred ninety is not

all in my hands. So how are i for? You are persecutor from

your church. Ada. I do so many jobs a year. You have

blessed me so much, so I think as you have LA, I think

as you have Hello, lad is geminar. It just means I have still

to pay the bill. Okay. He did say discount. He did say

anything. I think when you have LA. I said, okay, never

mind, this sounds good. So I said, okay, can you tell

me what is the the deposit? What is the first amount I have to

give? You say, let me work it out. I need some money

to buy row material. He came back to me two days later, he

said, boss, just twenty nine thousand, Yes, twenty nine thousand,

we will do. And I have now not five because since I had five

a d I also had to spend. So I now got four to three

four thousand, three hundred compared to twenty nine thousand. He's he's talking to

me by the way. By the way, I uh rey, pagdila twenty

nine. And then you hear twenty nine and you don't have that. I

said, okay, thank you very much, Okay, I'll get it to

you soon. I think all this is clear being applied, because I know

that God moves all right. But the instruction is see constant instruction and constant

obedience all along the way. So I tell you, ladies and German kind

of long story short. In two weeks a man send me a text message,

eye message, and on the eye message I cried when I saw it.

On the eye message was a picture of deposit slip. He had banged

in from over the seas a check for fifty thousand ring and said this is

for your house. And so now I've got more than twenty nine thousand ring.

And I cried, and I saw God's faithfulness. I wrote a check

out to ken as a can twenty nine thousand. Say whah, because he

said, usually I when I asked for people who money are, they take

months before they give me. See, you just give me two weeks.

So I, in my mind hope is anything. I'm rich? Okay,

although in Jesus I am halleljah a man praise God. And then as they

are doing it, thirty forty fifty percent of the way comes the next bill.

Okay, So I'm paying up, paying up bill. The fifty thousand

is used up. Bady. You know, maybe two thousand ringing left from

the fifty thousand. And I go and speak somewhere. Now, I speak

somewhere at a conference, and I knew he gave me the bill. Can

gave me the bill again. He said, this is for thirty nine thousand

ring nah. Gave me the bill again. And I said, okay,

Lord, you know so I speak at this conference. Gave you all my

heart. God says, continue serve me, counsel, you give your best

to me. I gave my best to the Lord. As I was going

to the airport, this man sends me to the airport. As he's is

about to say goodbye. At the airport, he gives me a wide envelope,

and I said, what's this for? Brother? Something for you?

La? So I went to the plane and I finally remembered I had a

white look was put in my bag. I took out and it's a check

for fifty thousand ringed and a small note. You know, just use this

for your house. And I thought to myself, already one hundred thousand ringed

and more than fifty percent of the work done. Now I am expecting another

bill to come. It will come, It will come. But I want

to say to you it can be a journey, a journey of not just

spit ground respond clay, apply do we see now? Not yet? Still

have to walk to the siloam pool and some of you could be in the

experience. Why he couldn't just heal me on the spot, Because I tell

you what, there's always something that goes after And he's a good God,

and he loves you, and he will not leave you nor forsake you.

He did not do this to you because he hates you because you have so

much sin, or that he's punishing you. Know, God loves you and

he wants the best for you. We hope you've been blessed by this message.
