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

  2. will light up your team. I want to begin with this, you know

  3. I'm going to see it, uh as as I mean, I know,

  4. with with some disclaimer as well. All right, Sometimes it's actually easier right

  5. for us to to answer what are we giving to God? You know,

  6. how are we you know, ordering God? How are we living Him?

  7. But you know, today I want us to you know, base us drawing

  8. from past us travel and you know story in chang ma as. All right,

  9. today I want us to ponder and think about what are we actually giving

  10. to each other. Sometimes it's even easier to give to God sometimes, Laha.

  11. That's why I say a disclaimer. Sometimes it's hard or sell to give

  12. to God. But I feel as human beings, the challenge is also to

  13. be able to give to each other, especially to the paper that you know

  14. irritates the thinking out of you. I shall not use that center, but

  15. you don't really they really drive you up the wall. And and to give

  16. to that person it's tough. And you know, if you look at our

  17. five ws, right, I have it on a on a slide or so,

  18. out of the five ws that mix us who we are as like church,

  19. you know, we have worship, more worship work, warms, work

  20. with witness. Right, three out of this five experience is actually about others

  21. and four others as well. That's who we are, you know, ex

  22. Church and and today you know, this final part of the series, right,

  23. I'm gonna be talking about how because we're talking about you know, running

  24. this race, and this whole theme that I started on, right is you

  25. know, on your mark, get set, you know, any race,

  26. you know, you have to be on the line first, right, and

  27. it's the first thing that you hear the person shouting before the gun goes off,

  28. so one a areas and it talks about you know, getting different body

  29. parts, different parts of our life, you know, correct. So today

  30. I'm going to be touching on the sixth and the seventh part. If you're

  31. gonna listen to the earlier ones, you can just go to the MTG yes

  32. uh and and you know get a catch up from there. So I'm going

  33. to start this with the illustration. I'm sure all you'll here has watched movies

  34. of like criminal movies crime and then there's like a scene of in the court

  35. and you know, different things is going on. And then finally, you

  36. know, the judge has to make a verdict, no verdict? Was that

  37. thing? Judgment? Yes, it has to make the final judgment. Right,

  38. they have a panel of judges, right, is that a lawyer here?

  39. Oh? Yes, you're gonna help me with all the technical terms and

  40. and and so I got sorry, pardon me, I'm using a lot of

  41. layment terms. All right, but hopefully you'll catch what I mean. Then

  42. you have the convict, right, the criminal on the stand, and then

  43. he listens to what has been I don't know right to him, and to

  44. know whether he is guilty or not guilty. Right, that's the only two

  45. things we always look forward for, whether the persons found guilty and not guilty.

  46. And and once the person has found guilty, what happens. Usually there's

  47. some police, some guards, I don't know what you call them, some

  48. fellas laha that will come and escort them away. But before they escort away,

  49. they will actually calve them, right, right, that's a process calve

  50. them. And and and you know I'm gonna be talking about that. You

  51. know, this guy, this criminal wants he used to be free, He

  52. could do whatever he want until he got caught lack all right for either any

  53. crimes LA could be see b BD so I think cbdo, So you'll get

  54. CALF criminal breach of CBT trust, yes, and and and and so you

  55. get carved. So he used to be once a free person, but because

  56. of the decisions he made, you know, rob people, lamored the people,

  57. whatever not, it has cost him his freedom. And and once that

  58. judgment is given, he no longer is a free man. He becomes a

  59. prisoner now and a calf itself. You know, his handcuff, I don't

  60. know. It depends on the sentence. Some people just vary a few months,

  61. some for life. And immediately you know he's no longer a free man.

  62. Immediately he's bound. And that would lead me to talk about our hands

  63. today. That would be the sixth you know, are in a life that

  64. we could actually align and or not aligned. Okay, so I'm going to

  65. use this word later, recommission our hands can be recommissioned. All right.

  66. So, like like this criminal right when he was living his life freely,

  67. sometimes he took probably have taken his freedom for granted, and he went creative

  68. and decided to break and band the law. And that's how you know,

  69. he ends up being guilty of or breaking the law. And and and you

  70. know, sometimes like us, that's a lot the way God has given us

  71. the freedom to leave. And you know, we can get distracted by different

  72. things sometimes and we lose track as a runner as well. Right, they

  73. can be running and they look like wow, God, ice cream stand there,

  74. I shall stop by and have ice creaming, uh, you know or

  75. whatever not like whatever distraction, then you lose sight of the course and you're

  76. supposed to be on. And after that you get bound by it. You

  77. know, when the attracted attracted that you get bound by it. And and

  78. and the word recommission just not mentioned it on our hands then CASTI bery commission

  79. is that's not the end, because you know God came to Satis free right

  80. and and to experience that freedom again. So but it takes the recommissioning of

  81. our hands, all right, So why I said God came to Satis free

  82. gose when God came and and you know we have been commissioned in our lives

  83. as believer right to lift out you know the different things that God has commissions

  84. to do so and says, you know, it's mission's mine. You know,

  85. one of the greatest commission of all is is Matthew twenty eight right to

  86. go into all the world. So we have been commissioned to do that and

  87. we lost sight. And and you all the word recommissioned itself, right,

  88. if you look into the meaning of it, it actually so any for example,

  89. any old building, any any architects here and old buildings are you going

  90. to bring restoration? Usually they use the word recommission, okay, unless it's

  91. totally decommission ready, miss cannot aid them there to bring it down and build

  92. it out again. You can recommission, for example, submarines as well a

  93. lot of different things, or recommission at pieces. They also use the term

  94. recommission also. And for me, you know how I understood it that in

  95. general, right, it's seeing either the thing put being put back into his

  96. original state or be made better. When you recommission something at all, either

  97. you try it closest possible to put it back or make it better. All

  98. right, So these are actually the fall areas that you know, how our

  99. hands can actually be recommissioned for God. And I'm sharing this because I really

  100. believe, you know, God wants to remind us, you know, if

  101. you're going to talk about missions. You know, our hands definitely will be

  102. involved in it as well. All right, first area, the recommissioning of

  103. generosity and giving. Wow. One of the most very important principles in the

  104. Bible is the idea of being able to give to others and especially giving to

  105. people that's in need. Yeah, there are several passages so giving not just

  106. in terms of finance, laha, in our time and our treasure and our

  107. resources. All right, there are several passages that encourages all of us to

  108. be generous and to share our blessings. You know, whatever God has given

  109. to us, even you know, God has blessed you. If one ring

  110. it extra, share it. God has given you, you know, five

  111. minutes extra hopefully you know I mean not so you you'll get what I mean.

  112. Right, You don't get two hours, twenty four hours and five minutes

  113. extra, but five minutes extra of your usual time. You know, what

  114. are you're doing about it? On one hour lunch that you get? You

  115. know, why what are you doing about it? Uh? And you know

  116. I'm going to turn us to these two scriptures here prop Proverbs chapter eleven,

  117. verse twenty five and Second Corinthians chapter nine, verse seven. I'm gonna get

  118. different ones here to read, and we can start with the people from the

  119. back can reach the caper canna awesome back, and then we'll move all the

  120. way towards the front. Yeah whatever, by version, by both versions that

  121. you have, you can read it. Oh, they look like they want

  122. to do a duet together there, So you do one verse that you can

  123. pass on to the next person of Proverbs up, we can do Proverbs eleven

  124. twenty five verse Yeah, all right, Proverbs eleven twenty five. But generally

  125. men will prosper. He who refreshes others will himself be refreshed. Yep,

  126. super good. Second Quarrinthians nine seven. Second Quarintians, chapter nine, verse

  127. seven. Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give,

  128. not reluctantly or under compulsion, For God loves a cheerful giver, hey

  129. man, So based on this versus, a recommissioning can happen right in the

  130. area of refreshing others, of generosity, in the area of you know,

  131. not giving grudgingly, but giving cheerfully unto God, you know, giving cheerfully

  132. until God as well involves our time, our treasure sometimes it's easier to part

  133. with finances. Sometimes gets to stick out a note and dropping the offering and

  134. say done. But you know when your leaders starts challenging you, Hey,

  135. on Sunday morning, can you wake up at seven I am and come and

  136. serve in church? Wow? You know, although it comes from your leaders

  137. in church, right, but you know that when we serve it is unto

  138. God. Right. We are all here as a church to give the platform

  139. opportunity to or like, Hey, you know we have a combine combined workship

  140. service, you know coming up for our missions weekend. What's the date twenty

  141. seven twenty seven? Right? Would you like to serve in DVCC. Wow?

  142. You all? Yeah, godless a cheerful giver, all right? Second

  143. one? Second one, I knows yeah, little y'all start stoning me already.

  144. Okay. The second one the recommissioning of laying of hands for the blessing,

  145. for blessing and for healing. This is something that which we are seeing

  146. a bit lesser these days. And I really hope and desire and all that

  147. all of you in all students here as you go back to your campus,

  148. right, I'll go back with the authority and confidence, like, hey,

  149. you know, my hands can be used to lay hands on others as well

  150. for blessing and healing. Let's look at X chapter six, verse six.

  151. That's one portion. So one person reads that, Mark chapter ten, verse

  152. sturney to sixteen. The next person reads that, then X turning eight,

  153. verse eight to nine. Another person reads that, Okay, okay, X

  154. chapter six, verse six. They presented these men to the apostles who pray

  155. and laid their hands on them. So this verse, yeah, it's the

  156. laying of hands to commission right, you know, yep, to commission these

  157. seven people so that they can actually go out and make the needs of the

  158. community, all right, Mark chapter ten, Mark chapter ten, verse thirteen

  159. to sixteen. Then they brought little children to him that they might touch them

  160. by the disciples we built those who brought them. But when Jesus saw it,

  161. he was greatly displeased and said to them, let the little children come

  162. to me, and do not forbid them for off. Such is the Kingdom

  163. of God. But shuretly, I say to you, whoever does not receive

  164. the Kingdom of God as a little child will by no means and the it

  165. and he took them up in his arms, laid his hands on them and

  166. blessed them. Yeah. Next chapter twenty eight was eight. And it came

  167. to pass that the father of the palace lay sick of a fever and of

  168. her bloody flanks, to whom Paul entered in and pray and lay his hands

  169. on him and healed him. Was nine. So when these was done,

  170. others so so which had diseases in the island came and were healed. Yep,

  171. amen, so right, if you can see her, you know,

  172. the laying of hands, it's the be re commissioned so that you know,

  173. we can actually see if you look at explan it it'sself right, what uh

  174. Paul did he want to lay hands? And you know the yeah, father

  175. was healed, and then the others around the island started coming to him with

  176. diseases and they were also healed. You know, I want to broaden our

  177. I know today here are a lot why I was here, as you know

  178. in the office, I know work and it's a very different environment in the

  179. office. But you know, imagining that you are able to practice this gift

  180. of healing as well to the laying of hands, and you all blessing people

  181. and people are like, oh wow, you know this, this is God

  182. that they actually self Israel, and they will come to you, and not

  183. not just receiving healing, but at the end of they be given the opportunity

  184. to know who the healer is. This is Jesus, right, and it

  185. gives us the opportunity to share the gospel with them myself. So second point,

  186. the recommissioning of the laying of hands for blessing and healing. I got

  187. more on to the third one now, the recommissioning of our hands to help

  188. others. First John, chapter three, verse seventeen to eighteen. The next

  189. person carry that Proverbs thirty one twenty and then Galicians six, verse two.

  190. Oh. First John, chapter three, verse seventeen. If someone has enough

  191. money to leave well and sees a brother or sister in it, but shows

  192. no compassion, how can God's love be in that person? Oh, dear

  193. children, let's not merely say that we love each other. Let us show

  194. the truth by our actions. Yeah. Amen, Proverbs thatty one twenty.

  195. She opens her arms to their poor and extends her hands to the knee.

  196. Thank you. I just want to just possible for a while, right,

  197. All those proverbs study one refers to a virtuous wife. You know, last

  198. time I was younger, I was like, yeah, it this only is

  199. for the wife, the married woman. You know, it's not applicable to

  200. me. But you know, the word virtuous right here refers to you know,

  201. a person who is honorable, who's good, who's righteous and worthy.

  202. And you know, I am sure all of us here we are good people,

  203. right, so if you're good people, then this applies to us as

  204. well, you know, to extend our hands to the poor and reach us

  205. out to the needy. And you know that's where that is why you know

  206. we are called virtuous and good also, yeah, so just want us to

  207. understand that galicious six two each other's burdens, and in this way you will

  208. fulfill the law of Christ. Hey man, if you can see these versus

  209. here that we have read, right, that's one recurring team, which is

  210. the importance of putting our faith and demonstrating into action and demonstrating to loving other

  211. people. And those of you who know right there are also you know,

  212. people with different love languages, right, different way people express it in different

  213. way of receiving as well. So but most of it, most of it

  214. also involves yeah, involves us still giving of ourselves to another person. All

  215. right, So the fourth one, all right, recommissioned by God's protective hands.

  216. Let's read this versus first and then I'm just gonna expland a little bit

  217. more Isaiah for the one ten, and then we move on to someone tree

  218. nine, then some ninety five, next person some forty one, and then

  219. some one tree nine, So five in total of five people reading. Oh

  220. yeah, oh sorry, poppable good spotting teacher, good spots. Yeah.

  221. Removed the last one. Asiah chapter forty one, Verse ten, fear not

  222. for I am, If you be not dismissed, For I am your God,

  223. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. I will

  224. uphold you with my righteous right hand some one twenty nine was ten. Even

  225. there, your hand shall lead me, and your right hand shall hold me

  226. some ninety five verse four. In his hands are the depths of the earth

  227. and the mountain peaks belong to Hem Isaiah forty one, verse thirteen. Four,

  228. I the Lord your God, will hold your right hand, saying to

  229. you, fear not, I will help you. Wow. Thank you for

  230. reading. And you know there's four passages right there we have read how does

  231. it make you feel to read this again and to hear it again? It

  232. feels safe, You feel secure that God's hand, you know, God his

  233. hand protects us, and his hand you know, protects us. It gives

  234. us power as well and guidance, and it speaks off his care for his

  235. people. So recommission, you know, is to also remember again, you

  236. know, despite what we go through. You know, for example of some

  237. Isaiah for they one it says, I fear not, I will help you.

  238. You know, he will uphold us in his right hand as so,

  239. so you know that knowing because sometimes you know, we can also be giving

  240. like God when you know I am blessing, you know I am healing.

  241. I am you know, just doing what you have come asked me to do.

  242. But when is it? Mind turn God? And and this is what

  243. you know. I wanted to end this, this the sixth part that of

  244. us that needs you know that we can actually work on it by even assuring

  245. us again to say that it all in all that God has asked us to

  246. do, He is also there for us. All right. I want to

  247. move on to our seventh part now, that which we could work on as

  248. we are on this race so that you know, it'll be a lesser baggage

  249. and a burden. Also, just how to talk about prisons being changed by

  250. hands, but I think in a modern times don't have the other times they

  251. also change them by their licks, right, yeah, the shackles. They

  252. I know there's calfla carfs here, right, the shackles, so they're chained

  253. by licks as well. And then you know, we know also they do

  254. not have a freedom already. They take prisoners, and I think the olden

  255. times more of they do it more to slaves as well. Then you know

  256. they become a slave to a certain master also, and and and if we

  257. want to talk about running this race, like uh, to be free in

  258. God, all these two areas definitely needs to be. You know, you

  259. have to make sure that's no invisible calfs that's holding you down, that's not

  260. invisible invisible shack goes that's holding you down as all. And and where is

  261. the direction that you are walking towards to today? You know, to be

  262. you know, when you run race the race, you know, okay,

  263. that's the ending line and it'll go there. But to be able to go

  264. there, it takes you to run right right, It can be running like

  265. that way. If you're not running right there, you'll run You're not another

  266. finishing line at the stadium maybe, but you know your your line is there,

  267. and and you know, let's start running right, you know, walking

  268. towards that finishing line. And the first point right it talks about, you

  269. know, when we need to go to a place, it talks about okay,

  270. it's that that's a direction to get there, right and and probably you

  271. know this area of our feet it needs to be redirected. Okay, The

  272. first one I redirecting our direction towards being able to wash each other's feet.

  273. I wanted to start with that because there was a you know, there are

  274. a few significant parts of the Bible that involves the feet, and one of

  275. it which a lot of leadership trainers who are not Christians as well, they

  276. actually use this example of feet washing, food washing, feet washing. I

  277. can today imagine what Jesus could have gone through because at the point of time

  278. when he was washing the feet right was before right he was crucified, and

  279. he I'm sure and that time he already knew that his follower, his disciple,

  280. would betray him. Uh and this disciples were the closest people to him,

  281. who was the person that would betrayed him. Yeah, and Jesus also

  282. washed Russ students there, and Jesus washed his feet when Jesus did the food

  283. washing, I think he was there. I think I'm sure he was there

  284. and and and expects about because when I know as human beings, right,

  285. when we know, okay that you know I'm just using you as Leslie has

  286. been gossiping, back biting, uh and and and she's gonna betray me and

  287. you all gossips hugely betrays people. That's what I enough for dy And I

  288. think as a who are made for myself, our feet table already right,

  289. like wash your feet uh and and and that this itself, right uh,

  290. speaks a lot about humility and and you know by the act of Jesus washing

  291. their feet. Uh, he stooped down to the level and the feet it's

  292. not like as clean as our feet here. There was I think one uh

  293. one. I can't remember. I talked about this once in Ely I think

  294. probably last year I preached about this. So I did the example last So

  295. I got different ones up on stage and I just did the feet washing.

  296. Uh. And while doing that, right. I was start imagining because those

  297. times they don't have nice covered shoes their feet it's like dirty with dirt one.

  298. And they don't have like tar road or cemented road to walk on.

  299. It's very very dirty. And I was washing. I didn't tell the people

  300. on stage when I was washing a fit a few of them had Hong Kong

  301. feet. Are we called Hong Kong feel basically smell feel sour? Yeah,

  302. sourish, fermented smell. I was like, God, why am I doing

  303. this? Why did I choose this? You know example too? And when

  304. I was going, When I was doing that, I'm like, okay,

  305. how else Jesus feeling that time when he had to do it with his disciples.

  306. Uh? And and I'm not just telling how a story? Okay,

  307. So deciding to catch you go back and read that because it's about eighteen verses

  308. in total. John thirteen or right, chapter one, sorry, John Chapter

  309. thirteen, Verse one to seventeen. Jesus himself when we talk about, hey,

  310. you know, our feet needs to be redirected. It talks about being

  311. able to serve one another, right, oh, with an entitude of humility.

  312. Yeah, so that that is and enjoy for that and a lot of

  313. times, you know, teachings of this world today psyche. The field of

  314. psychology is very, very big now, even even post pandemic. More you

  315. all a lot of like people like went through like self care. How many

  316. of you did psychology before? Or is a practicing psychology the self care and

  317. psychology itself is a study to understand human beings, why we functions in a

  318. way. But yeah, no one can actually entirely define. So if you

  319. study psychology, there's different school of talks, different theories to explain just one

  320. problem. So that's why I gave up psychology halfway through. Whether the accounts,

  321. because accounts is easy, right, It's like one plus one, it

  322. goes to two, and it's just balances us out and then you're done.

  323. And and but you know psychology itself and and the major area of psychology,

  324. so it's very human humanists. Humanistic involves humanism, and it's says the definition

  325. of humanism is it exalts human being way beyond a divine intervention. And and

  326. and because of that, people's like, ah okay. If there's a lot

  327. of counseling sections, you'll say like oh okay, this person here hurt you

  328. lam it's okay. You know, if you're a lying distant yourself, you

  329. know, you have to take care of yourself, which is good in a

  330. way. But if the Bible, if we go according to the word of

  331. God, right, God says, if the person slaps you on the right

  332. your gifted, Yeah, if the person's going to send you to the cross,

  333. you know, pos you to the agony of being crucified, right to

  334. wash their feet then still yeah, So you know, sometimes the word of

  335. God, it's a higher standard for us to leave by. And it is

  336. a truth that I believe. You know, humanity heals as distancing sometimes may

  337. not because no people will still go through stuff, but humility he's so the

  338. second one that I want to bring our ten second point would be redirecting our

  339. feet to be fully guided by the word of God. The next person can

  340. read some one nine zero five, not to show whose turn is it we

  341. need? Yes, you know that's how I already XTV allowed what to do

  342. today some one one nine verse one zero five Some one one nine verse one

  343. zero five. Your word is a lamp on Yeah, your word is a

  344. lamp to my feet and a light onto my path. Yep. So God's

  345. word provides guidance for our journey. So it's time for us to read that

  346. out our feet, because when it's pointing the other way, it's all right,

  347. you'll start going another direction. But what is pointing right means you're going

  348. the right direction and allowing God's world to guide us. And a lot of

  349. people can actually read how our feet is. Right. Those who play football,

  350. I know the only way to trick the goalkeeper is the direction of it.

  351. The usual common way is like that, right, and people know,

  352. okay, the ball is going to go straight, but there are tricks that

  353. you'll turn that away, but you get still kicked another way. I don't

  354. know how your footballers do it, but the feet itself tells where you're going

  355. on. Actually, yeah, so why did I get to that? Okay?

  356. Yes, guided by the word of God. Third one redirecting our feet

  357. to taking grounds all right, Joshua, Chapter ten, verse twenty four to

  358. twenty five. Chapter ten, verse twenty four to twenty five. So it

  359. was when they brought out those kings to Joshua that Joshua called for all the

  360. men of Israel and said to the captains of the men of war who went

  361. with him, Come near and put your feet on the necks of these kings.

  362. And they jun near and put their feet on their necks. Oh,

  363. sorry, continue Okay, Then Joshua said to them, do not be afraid

  364. nor be dismayed. Be strong enough of good courage. For thus the Lord

  365. will do to all your enemies against whom you fight. M So, if

  366. you read this two versus itself, what does it tell you? Our feet

  367. actually is a representation of conquests, right, conquest, conquering a ground.

  368. It's a symbolic act of victory. Also right at the side Josha killer,

  369. imagine it for a while, feed on the necks of the people that they

  370. have one victory over all. Right, So redirecting our feet to taking grounds?

  371. So what are the grounds that God is leading you to take? Grounds?

  372. In all that you know? There is you know that needs God's presence,

  373. in the grounds that you know needs the Gospel to be in there,

  374. you know, and and and the grounds of why was again here? You

  375. know? Your company is your offices? You know? Are you taking it

  376. for God? Yeah? Uh? Are we usually just students that are you

  377. just showing up in your campus? Are you just showing up in your office

  378. taking grounds. You know, it's very every evidently seen all right, when

  379. there's victory, that's conquests you know, Okay, this ground belongs to a

  380. new person. Now, so is it evidently seen seen in Nottingham University and

  381. that this ground belongs to God? Yeah? Can people see it? Okay?

  382. You know, just a quick quick story campus level yea, I've heard

  383. of it. And and and we used to have a small little college in

  384. your life, cop Katt. So campus ravel that's or started by this girl,

  385. so Katt. They for Malaysians. We used to have JPA scholarship,

  386. right, I think now I don't know what they call it already, they

  387. and the government used to have a lot of money. We used to send

  388. students, a lot of students overseas, so Katti. They sent all the

  389. medical scholars, the dentistry and pharmacy scholars. They are to do their A

  390. levels. And it's a totally abandoned place, just one role of shop,

  391. lots, two stories of classroom, and then three and four is their hostile.

  392. So everyone just stays in a block and it is in the middle of

  393. nowhere. I want, okay, in the middle out of nowhere. And

  394. they like but this girl. She started campus Ravel there and she did it

  395. every day alone and got told her to climb out to a small hill across

  396. your campus and want you to stretch for off your hand and pray. So

  397. long story shot, the campus Ravel grew to about forty people thirty forty consistently

  398. every morning, like there's so much effort to climb out hill. But they

  399. did that. And what happened was they were then they were done with their

  400. A levels. They saw a lot of miracles happened on campus down A levels.

  401. A lot of them were sent to India to study, and there's deep

  402. place to study medicine. And because they have a lot of cadivers three cadivers

  403. that you can just fly apparently the students when there's sometimes by the roadside,

  404. they just left there so you can just pick up and then bring back to

  405. the lab and they start. So that's the best place. So yeah,

  406. yeah, and they have people who need to earn extra say the Google dig

  407. graves as well for the for the university dig grace and take the body in

  408. for whatever not okay, anatomy sessions. So India, and what happened was

  409. because you're talking about taking grounds, right, so when there's students they were,

  410. they caught everything they did in Malaysia wherever they went to different parts of

  411. India, they started campus wherevel there. So it grew to a point that

  412. every single Malaysian student when they know like I'm going to find number of Moneipau

  413. University in India to study, immediately they know that you know there is a

  414. campus ravel goes. So for example, in Manipaw in India, they had

  415. seven if I remember career or seven groups. There's a hundred of old people

  416. on on their campus level. And every single Malaysian students go there, they're

  417. like, okay, we need to get in touch with this campus level people.

  418. You know, when I'm this unique, you know they are amazing people

  419. I get connected to and staff. So talking about taking grounds, so what

  420. is your ground known for the ground that you're at all? Right? Last?

  421. Am I on the last Yes, I'm on the last fourth second last

  422. fourth one redirecting our feet to worship Revelation, Chapter nineteen, verse ten.

  423. Probably I'll just read it. And I felt his feet to worship him.

  424. But he said to me, see that you do not do that. I

  425. am your fellow servant and of your brethren who have the testimony of Jesus,

  426. worship God for the that's me of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. So

  427. what happened here was the story is John. He's the author of revelation.

  428. And the person that was actually talking to him was an angel. So he

  429. saw the angel. He was so wild and awed by the angel. He

  430. fell and worshiped the angel by the angel told him worship God, do not

  431. worship me, all right. And that is a very crucial part for all

  432. of us because sometimes when our fee is not a right direction, we get

  433. distracted. We can be worshiping other stuff than worshiping God, or something that

  434. seemingly appeared to be like God, it'll be super good. We can be

  435. worshiping it. And what worship means basically, whatever that you're worshiping takes priority

  436. over God and and and so if our fit is redirected to worship God,

  437. then our life revolves around them. And it's very evident to the people around

  438. you. They know, like, wow, you know Bend's life, he

  439. always makes decision and puts God first. Because when we put God first,

  440. you know, uh, there's a form of worship as all unto God right

  441. when we give him our best. That's a form of worship to him.

  442. Ah. And yeah, so the fifth point the last one. And then

  443. I am going to close, redirecting our direction to have beautiful feet where we

  444. can get someone to read this verse Romans, chapter ten, verse fifteen.

  445. Whoever that is closest to the mic can Yeah. Romans chapter ten, verse

  446. fifteen. Romans Chapter ten, verse fifteen. And how can anyone preach unless

  447. they are sins? As it is Richard, as it is written, How

  448. beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news? Yep? Amen?

  449. So? And how shall they preach unless they are sent right? And how

  450. beautiful are the of those who bring good news? So redirecting our fit to

  451. be beautiful fit you know Paul or the apostle. Paul, he always you

  452. know what, it's really big. That's why he's the apostle. You know,

  453. he brings the good news everywhere, and and the impounters are proclaiming the

  454. Gospel and day on day. Even as we start off today with the mission's

  455. month, right, let us be reminded again our hands and feet can actually

  456. be mobilized for God's use. When our hands and feet are free, God

  457. can use it and and and and and we can be sent out to reach

  458. Yeah, and you know the I connectors saying it's like okay, you know

  459. there are people who are planners, they're thinkers, who are dreamers, and

  460. that are people you know who are hands and feed right, so whatever it

  461. say like, oh, we are the hands a fit meaning you know,

  462. we get the work done. We get a job done. So today,

  463. you know, if you're going to talk about missions, you know, can

  464. we then be the hands and feed for God to use for mobilization? Closing,

  465. I can invite extreme up right now the commission that God has given to

  466. us in Matthew turny eight, that is to go into all the world and

  467. make disciples, not to go into all the world and save people and then

  468. bye bye. By making disciples requires us to invest, to spend time,

  469. you know, to be present. So how many of us here you know

  470. today we are ready to do that. You know, missions it's not just

  471. you know, giving our money, you know, going out to the poor

  472. community and do something for them. Because I don't know whether you'll know that

  473. many more energy as and organizations are way more better at charity that is actually

  474. just charity, you know, but for us, what makes us difference as

  475. Christians when we go up, when we reach out to communities, right,

  476. how would they know whether we are Christians or not. Ah, that is

  477. something that I want to leave us to ponder on. Doing charity is good,

  478. but doing Christ is really different. Being Christ to people is very different

  479. both seas, but it's on our opposite end. You know, when we

  480. say that Heaven rules in our life, you know God is the King.

  481. You know he rules in my life. We hope you've been blessed by this

  482. message. For more information on our church, please visit X Church the RG.

  484. is going to be a good week ahead for you. God bless
