Heaven Rules - DO YOU WANT TO KNOW HOW HEAVEN WORKS | Pr Kenneth Chin

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

will light up your day. Heaven rules, but before Heaven can rule,

is good to understand how heaven works. So let's read the word of God.

I will turn you now to Matthew twenty five. Matthew twenty five is

a really, really wonderful chapter because you know you have the ten virgins.

There you have you know, Jesus saying you visited me while when I was

in prison, when I was naked, And people go like, oh,

when did we do that? And he says, when you do to the

least, you also have the five talents, two talents and one. Remember,

So Matthew twenty five just packed with goodness. Let's read the word of

God together. The kingdom of Heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took

their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Now five of them were

wise and five were foolish. Before we turn to next slide, let's just

dwell on this for a while. So Jesus is trying to teach us what

the Kingdom of God is like. So before you know Heaven rules, you

know how you need to know how heaven works. I'm gonna say it again.

Before you know how heaven rules, you need to know how heaven works.

And so Jesus, who came from heaven. You know who better than

to tell us how heaven works than the one who came from heaven. And

he's telling you the kingdom of Heaven shall be. So this is how heaven

is. This is how the Kingdom of God is. If you have any

doubt, if you're not sure because you've never been to heaven and you're asking

the question, how does heaven work? Pastor how does the Kingdom of God

work? Well, let Jesus teach you. He says, it's like ten

virgins, all right, ten virgins who took their lambs and went out to

meet the bridegroom. Now five of them were wise, five or foolish.

Let's let's try to establish something here right now. I don't think people were

born foolish, and I don't think people were born wise. Wisdom and foolishness

is determined by our actions. Are you all okay? And the way we

speak, the way we act, will then show whether we're wise or foolish.

Let's not blaming on DNA. Let's not blame it on birth. Let's

not blaming on all our dad and mom never went to school. How Maever,

you know that we've heard so many stories of people who became billionaires who

never went to school. So wisdom is not just about schooling and about hit

knowledge. Okay, So let's establish that the ten virgins goes very fair,

five or wise, five or foolish. But I don't think it's their birth

or DNA, or their background or their schooling. You will read on.

It will speak about their actions. Let's move on. Those who are foolish

took their lambs and took no oil with them, but the wise took oil

in their vessels with their lambs. So this is and we will read on,

but I'll just give you some summary thoughts first, that the reason why

five were wise and five were foolish was and is to be found in this

verse. Every other verse that you and I will read will be similar to

the ten, meaning to say that nothing else is different between five wise and

five foolish except this verse. Five our virgin who are wise, and five

are virgin who are foolish. Let's establish that they were all virgin, and

so if you think about virgin In the Bible, it just means that people

who have been set apart for God. Virgin means people set apart for God.

And all ten were virgin. So all ten wise and foolish were set

apart for God. Are you all on the same page with me? Nothing

different about that? They were all good people, all good ten virgins who

love God. But what made the difference? This verse five took no oil,

and the other five took oil in their vessels besides their lamps, so

their lambs will have light, fire, the wick, and some oil the

lamp, you know, the lamp. And then in another vessel they brought

oil. The foolish ones did not. The foolish ones did not. So

this is the only difference. The only thing that differentiate differentiated the wise from

the foolish was that let's look at let's look at the oil. The oil

I want to now break it down to you speaks of the Holy Spirit.

And so five had extra oil and the other five did not. Now I

want to especially bring this point out to you because if you didn't know,

today is penty cost Sunday. Did you know? So Pentecost Sunday? Pentecost

means fifty or fifty days after Easter. Fifty days after Easter is Pentecost.

And how many of you know that X Chapter two speaks about on the day

of Pentecost the Holy Spirit fell on them. Today today is Pentecost Sunday.

It is the Holy Spirit that makes a difference. And third difference, and

that's why Jesus says it is to your advantage that I go. If I

don't go, he can come. I think it's found in John sixteen.

If I don't go Jesus, if I don't go back to be with the

Father, he can come. And you know why he must come, because

he makes us more like Jesus. He gives us strength and power and all

that we need. Without the Holy Spirit, we can really do nothing that

God wants us to do. So oil everyone here. I want you to

hunger for more oil. Okay, bring with your vessel extra oil. The

foolish did not bring more, but the wise want more, broad more.

This is a wonderful scripture. I memorize it quite often. And because why

I like this scripture is because so there were threats to the early Apostles,

and Christians do not preach ever again in the name of Jesus. That was

the threat, and so the believers began to pray. Lord, Lord,

look on their threats and grant to your servants that we'd all bonus. So,

Lord, we don't want to be scared. We don't want to be

scared because we know we need to preach Jesus. But they have threatened us

that if we continue to preach in the name of Jesus, we will be

hurt, beaten, thrown into prison. And so the disciples of all the

first Disciples were praying this wonderful prayer. Granted to your servants that we'd all

bonus, they may speak your word. And then they prayed this prayer.

And I love it by stretching out your hand to heal and that signs and

wonders may be done through the name of your holy Servant Jesus. And so

I realize whatever the disciples prayed before, I can pray now, and I

follow the prayer that it is by power and buy miracles and buy size and

wonders that we rise beyond our fear. Do you know it makes sense?

Right if you go to the office right now and you keep praying for your

friends, and then you see people get healed, you know, a supernaturally

transform delivered. Won't they give you bonus? Right? You're like now so

scared to tell somebody about Jesus, and then you got enough courage to just

say, oh, your headaches, can I just pray for you? Lord,

remove that headache in Jesus name. Hey, no more headache? Really

are right? That will give you bonus to like, what do you have?

You know, my finger pain? Okay, Lord, take away that

pain for the finger. They go on, Oh wow, you know the

bonus we increase. We go like, okay, how about your Let's have

a prayer s office right here, right now in my office, because it

grants you bonus when you see God move among the people, and so I

love that. It says, bye, stretching out your hand. Now did

God answer the prayer? Did God answer their prayer? Yeah? How did

he answer the prayer? The Bible says, And they were all filled with

the Holy Spirit. And I realized that, Wow, whatever prayer you're praying

about, remove the threat, stretch out your hand to heal, Do miracles,

do signs and wonders. Oh Lord, do this, Oh Lord,

do that? He says, Okay, here you go move the Holy Spirit.

You're like, oh wow, okay, is it that simple. Yeah,

I want to go to missions. I want to be bold, I

want to preach with power. I want to I want to propheeside. Have

you Have you prayed enough? Yes? Lord, for now, that would

be my prayer. You're done, I'm done. Not okay, boom,

more of the Holy Spirit. You're with me? And the answer has always

been yes. The way forward, the way of breakthrough, the way of

healing, the way of salvation is I'm going to give you more of my

spirit. And I just wanted you to understand that they prayed so much and

God said, here you go, I'm gonna give you because it's all found

in the Holy Spirit. Let's move on next light. So we're talking about

five wise virgins bringing extra oil with them and five foolish virgins. Again,

why I didn't Why is the foolish because of the actions, not because they

were born that way. I'm going to ask you a question right now and

see whether in one minute does anyone who can shout me an answer. What's

the attitude behind extra Why do you think extra was so important? Why do

you think extra made five virgins wise? Okay? I like that, okay,

like I said, because they thought further. And don't you think that

people who think further our wise? So the five foolish didn't think further.

They thought, okay, all right, it's going out to see the Lord,

you know, And then they like, you know, I don't know.

Sometimes it can be church as all right, church great, it's just

sunday. I'll just go on time, leave on time. And you don't

think further. You don't, You don't think further, and and and and

sometimes that itself could make you wise and foolish. One more or two more

answers, Why why? What's the attitude behind extra? So think further?

Thank you ready in and out season? That's also very good. So to

be ready is to have an attitude of preparation. And you and you know

that preparation is important. And so if all of you are ready when you

came here, do you understand this that sometimes we think that worship starts when

the worship leader starts, but actually true worship starts are when you are coming

out of your house. And that's why a lot of churches I know,

like to warm up on there are people. But actually, if you were

worshiping. As you came out of your house, you warm up ready,

so your your your hearts, your hearts are ready. And but if you

only depend on the worship da and he starts like the first song boring,

like this song right, and then you forget it's not about the song,

it's about worship U. And so oh you know, how come to the

only one guitarist? But when you're worshiping her in your heart in your car,

there was no musician, and so you're ready for no musician because you

were worshiping already for the last fifteen minutes from your house. You're worshiping and

there was no musician, and so you're ready for now musician. And when

you come there it's only one, you go, oh, bonus. But

if you go like, oh, you know, I just listened to a

CD, uh, you know, and it was a full band, and

then you come here and then there's only one, and then you got,

oh, why's a boring her? No? So so okay, ready one

more? Why is extra? So so he bought? Why did this extra

made five wise? And enough made five foolish? So why do you think

contingency? Wow? His business owner business owner contingency. So she thought I

hit right, and she made herself ready, so that a lot of words

is going to be similar. But it's a great attitude to heaven though.

It's a great attitude you you you use the same attitude in your work,

use the same attitude in your studies. You should use your same attitude as

you're preparing for your child's birthday, party, your wedding, right, uh,

and you'll be foolish to not think about the extra the contingency there.

Maybe, how if, like yesterday it was Steven's wedding, I'm sure they

got a contingency plan because their wedding was in the garden and they prayed and

prayed, and they told us they fasted because sevent the weather forecast two days

before seventy percent rain and shure enough, the clouds were dark, but you

know why they were dark, because God was so gracious to block the sun

otherwise, you know, the sun was you know, I mean it's shone

for about a good five minutes and everybody was melting, and Basta Ronson said

eight points. You know, I thought to myself, why he was so

hot that he probably would say two points. But as soon as he said

eight. You know, God was so gracious because the sun shone and then

basta Ronson said eight points. And then you know the clouds. God said,

oh your mercy, okay, let me just close the side. And

you know, because this guy has eight points and anyway, it was really

really good. Eight points. Uh. So I offer you one more thought,

one more thought. And this is the attitude I think I get.

You know, when you have extra and you're about to meet the Lord who

you don't know when he's coming. Do you know? When you bring extra

is an attitude of like, Lord, I don't know when you're coming,

So I'm going to bring extra because it's your time, not my time.

Those who just bring enough will say, God, you come at my time

because my lamb only God this much oil. I won't bring extra because you

better come at my convenience. And there are too many Christians in too many

churches these days. No, Lord, do it at my convenience. And

it's a very bad attitude. You must come with, like, Okay,

I want to come with the attitude of extra, not my time, but

your time. You want to show up in your time, I just make

sure I bring extra oil. So this is very important because too many people

these days are living by convenience and not conviction. And I those who of

us who come with extra, say Lord, like for example, Anawa,

some of you who come with enough on me, I will say a pastor,

please finish at nine forty five, because otherwise I'm walking out. And

others who come with extra like, okay, la pasta. If you are

really preaching your heart out, and if God is moving, if God is

speaking to us, take extra five minutes, hold take extra six time.

It's okay for extra, because my heart is ready for extra. I'm not

going to limit the Holy Spirit to only work in half an hour. And

there are too many churches these days who are dying because the people say we

can only go for a one hour service. If they go beyond the one

hour service, I'm leaving this church. These are the people of jazz enough.

Lord, I give you jazz enough. I'm closing my eyes because I'm

really passionate when I'm talking about this. You know, I don't want to

be a jazz enough Christian jazz enough attitude. I want to be God.

If you want to move an extra five minutes, if the Holy Spirit want

to take over another eight minutes, ten minutes. So be it, la

Lord, so be because this is not my church. Is your church?

Is not my service, your service, this is not my word. Is

your word is not It's not my spirit. It's your spirit. God,

have your way. I come with an extra attitude, an extra spirit.

Yes, Lord, I can be hand. Don't worry. I can.

I can. I'm not so a rigid that I cannot be stretched. Lord,

stretch me if you have to, because every time you stretch me I

grow. Amen. Good. Okay, Now next, next one, let's

read the word of God. I think somehow, but while the bridegroom was

delayed, they all slumbered and slept. Okay, why do I and the

underlying and boil the letter or the rather the word? All So, I

told you that the only difference between ten wise or sorry, five wise and

five foolish is their attitude towards the extra enough, the oil, the spirit.

The only difference. Because number one, they are ten virgins, nothing

different about that. Number two they all slept. Me. It means that

even the good ones, the wise one, also slept. So sometimes as

Christians are, you know, we might have good days, we might have

bad days. We might have like wow days where we are revived, their

days where we're sleeping. But it's okay, it's okay, because we have

our days. Tend to a daghber say it's okay. The steam now there,

don't sleep now, but it's okay. Yeah, it's okay, because

both the wise and the foolish all slap. All right. We do make

our little booboo sometimes and our little mistakes. It's okay, all right.

That didn't That didn't define foolishness and wisdom. That was not the different,

the difference. Okay, let's move on. And at midnight a cry was

hurt. Why do things always midnight? Midnight? Midnight? Okay? We

don't expect Yeah, we don't expect. Midnight means later, okay. And

that's why in English we have a phrase that says at the eleventh hour,

at the eleventh hour meaning you know, at the last chance, before the

midnight comes, before the midnight comes, because something's about to happen in midnight.

You don't expect it. I don't expect it. But at the eleventh

hour you know, either things can change for the better or for the worst.

Okay, he came at midnight. Behold the bridegroom is coming. The

cry was hurt, go out to meet him. Then all somebody said,

all all those virgins arose, So you said, I think they're foolish because

they didn't arise, they just slept. No, no, no, they

also woke up, so they also woke up, So there's no difference there.

All woke up, all were so excited to see their Lord. So

don't blame the foolish for being or not passionate. Lah, you know,

not committed, la. No, they're very committed, very passionate. Also

come to church every Sunday or so okay, And they all arose next one,

and the foolish said to the wise, give us some of your oil

if you go by. My translation is Danielle, give me some of the

holy spirit that you have. Please, because I don't have the holy spirit,

give me some of yours. Does it work? Does it work?

They mean, husband, eld the wife Rochelle. This morning, I feel

a bit dryer? Can you give me some of the holy spirit? Doesn't

work that way. Sometimes we borrow each other's faith. We shouldn't. We

should have our own faith. We borrow each other's quiet time. No,

no, don't have your own quiet time, we borrow each other's. No,

like, oh, can you read the Bible for me? I feel

a bit lazy this week. And there's going to be a lot that will

happen in the last days, in the eleventh hour, in the eleventh hour

of living in this life, you're gonna find a lot of people not having

their own faith, not even having their own Bible, not having their own

quiet time, not having their own prayer life. Come on, we need

to see a change because you can't borrow that oil. The wise answer and

said, no, less there should not be enough. Wow, there you

go again. I underline word enough, because we cannot go on with that

spirit of enough. We have to go with the spirit of extra. So

the wise were wise. They said less than not be enough for us.

And you both also one benefit from this, So go go rather to those

who sell and buy for yourself. No, you know why I feel sad

at this point because at midnight now which shop is open? But you know

the Horba that the ones who don't have oil will go knocking on doors.

Now you know how those days the Bible also said that you are sleeping and

then you heart knock knock on your door. Please you know, And then

the Bible says, oh, I mean, I'm in bed, don't bother

me. But you know, if you if you will not hard enough,

maybe the door will be open. Okay, So desperation will be the order

of the night. Let's go on. And while they went to buy,

the bridegroom came and those who are ready went in with him to the wedding.

And the door was shut. Okay. So one of the answers earlier

was why it was extra important because you're ready? And I really was ministered

to this buy, this word and this scripture. Only just on Tuesday,

I did my quiet time, and when I was opening the word, the

lad said to me, Kenneth, it is those who are ready who enter.

Wow. Okay, let's look at the next slide. Please, I

underline the door will shut. So the door was shut. And I want

to just give you a very gentle and hopefully strong enough reminder to tell you

that a lot of things that we are experiencing today, the door can be

shut. One So the one thing that is forever open, the grace is

forever opened, the mercy is forever open. You know, God's second chances.

No where do we take and get a second chance. We must take

it and we must take it well. It is important for all of you

to understand the see it can be a student, and a student must understand

that exams will come, and when the exam knocks on your door, you

might not have any more chance to study. So realize that in life there

is the truth that not many people teach you that the door can be opened,

but the door can also be shut. And I try my best to

live my life like this every day. I sometimes fail, but the Lord

will remind me, Kenneth, and the reason why you sometimes you see your

pastor working on things quick because when I see the door open, that's opportunity

for me, that's the time of God for me. I try not to

live my life whereby when the door is open and I know it's opener that

I dragged my feet and I dragged my feet and I said, oh never

mind tomorrow or next week or next month or next year or ten years time.

I know that film and brother Filament from Hong Kong was part of this

church. He came to meet me in my office in summit. And after

we met, because just to let you know the next thing that God put

on my heart is to start a central kitchen. So I was, okay,

places in the summit. I want to start central kitchen. And because

Butter Film and owned restaurants in Hong Kong, and then but the band was

there, and Elder Terrence will help to to see how much it will cost

to put the kitchen up. And then the central kitchen will provide food for

Victory Academy and Little Legends already got two hundred mouths to feed from Monday to

Friday. Then then we will have with me a little cafe and then you

know, try to provide for the poor, cook for the poor and stuff

like that, because a lot of poor people out there, they don't have

no food. But you know, if we can do a little bit of

a social business. Anyway, that's too much information already, but just to

let you know, I know that now is the time. And so when

I know that now is the time, door is open. I call people

together. I will talk and then we plan and then we pray and they

say, Lord, if it's your will, do it. Boom it gets

done, and then it moves on and move to the next thing. And

the law says, okay, now do this because I am totally in understanding

that doors can shut and doors can even be shut for Malaysia. Now I

can tell you I can prophesy to you right now. In fact, it's

not even a prophecy. It's already happening, that there is a time of

grace in this nation, even with our leadership and God. But I believe

has put the leaders that we have today so that some things can still go

on because the days might come when it might not be as free, and

the freedom might not be enjoyed like we enjoy today. I know this is

a little bit daunting, like, oh, I usual about a yeah,

yeah, I'm telling you right now the door is opened, but the door

can be shut. So all of you, some of you could be business

people, some of you maybe it's not even just business. Maybe it's like,

oh, the law it's telling you now go to your unsafe loved one

and speak now the gospel because that person might not be around in one year's

time. I know the Elder Terrence and Elder Mabel, they told me,

Pastor, I just want to let you know we're preparing to fly to Perth

this particular time this year. I say, oh, we have a family

member in Perth, and the Holy Spirit told us this year is a year

to tell that person. Jesus, I said, oh, haven't you told

the person before? They said yes many times, but they haven't listened.

And then the Holy Spirit said that this year they will listen. If you

fly there and when you get there to the house, you just you don't

go shopping, you don't go anywhere else. Is just for your family members

salvation. I will go before you. I will touch their hearts. And

now is the time. I love it when people understand the times, understand

the opportunities open, the doors are opened, and don't miss that door,

because the door will be it will be shut. Okay, now let's look

move on to the word Timing is everything. Timing is everything. Timing for

building x KK was important, it is now. I could die. I

could have done this ten years from now, but no timing, timing,

timing. Why I am I saying yes to solo Because when I was praying

about about it, the Lord said to me timing, Kenneth timing. Two

hundred passers are waiting timing timing. So I said, Lord, okay,

I want to be at the right place, at the right time to do

the right thing, because the door will be shut. Okay. Timing in

your business in Jesus name, Okay, timing now, do it, okay,

because the time might not be there anymore. So when it's time to

do it, do it. When it's time to speak it, speak it.

When it's time to sleep, sleep, when it's time to drink,

drink, when it's time to eat, eat please okay, make sure the

timings are all right, otherwise you get guest strict, spiritual guest strict.

All right, Okay, Okay, let's move on. What does ready mean

to you? What does ready mean to you? Probably the same kind of

answers that I got for extra. Really just means you can. Ready means

you can when you make yourself really means I care about what I'm about to

do. I care about my business, I care about my family. I

care about my son's birthday whom I'm trying to throw this birthday party for.

I care about, you know, whatever it is that I should be caring

about. And when you don't make yourself ready. Because the door was open

to those who are ready, and I pray that the door will be open

to all of you who are ready. But when you're not ready, it

means it can also mean that you didn't really care less. Yeah, you

didn't really have any care at all about what the future holes. Okay,

so let's move on afterwards. The other virgins came also saying, Lord Lord,

open to us. But he answered and said assuredly, I say to

you, I do not know you. Now we read a similar scripture just

two three weeks ago, when but this I do not know you, The

Lord said, I, Lord Lord, open to us, I do not

know you. Okay, let's read that and then we draw to the last

lap. So in Matthew seven twenty one and twenty three, Jesus taught us

not everyone who says to me Lord Lord. So similar, very similar from

the five foolish virgins saying, Lord Lord, open to us, and the

Lord says, I don't know you. So I would declare to them,

I never knew you, depart from me, you who practice lawlessness. So

I spoke about that and read each three weeks ago. If you want to

hear that message again, go back to three weeks ago and get the full

message. Okay, but I want to just remind you, sometimes we think

we know the Lord. We call him twice. Lord Lord, I know

you, Lord Lord, He says, I know, I don't know you

because you don't really know me. So let's look at the next slide.

Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Of course

I put dot dot dot, because that's not how he ends It says,

you know, cleanse your hands, you've seen this, purify your hearts.

You double minded. But this is the part that I want you to know.

When you draw near to God, he will draw near to you.

So I believe there's a principle in the Bible that says, when you love

God, you will experience his love. I believe there's a principle in the

Bible it says when you know God, he will know you. And so

when God says he doesn't know you, he's actually saying that you don't know

him, because when we know him, we will do exactly what pleases him.

The as it tests of knowing God is to do what God wants you

to do. And if you don't know God, you won't do what he

wants you to do. So the responsibility is on us to draw near to

Him. And when we draw near to him, he will draw near.

When we know him. When we make time to know him, he will

know us. So when he says I don't know you, he's actually saying

you have not taken time to know me. And because you don't know me,

you don't know what pleases my heart, and you don't know what to

do, and so you do all the different kinds of things that you think

it will please me. But I'm not pleased because I want you to do

different things, and you don't know, because you don't know me. So

here we go. Next light watch there for for you know neither the day

nor the hour in which the son of man is coming. All right,

the last slight watch therefore, for you know. So I want to tie

in all these words. The only difference that made them wise or foolish was

that five brought extra oil. The other five did not. Just broad enough.

We heard that extra means to be able to see ahead, to be

ready, to have contingencies. We we we saw the word ready and the

word those who are ready will enter, and we said that those who are

ready are those who showed care. And if you if you're not ready,

is because you probably didn't care. And so we want to make sure that

we are people that know how heaven works, how the Kingdom of God works,

and these are some of the words that are very important for us to

understand. So finally, in that last slide, it says watch also includes

the words stay alert, pay attention, be responsible, don't take it lightly.

Okay, if I put my handphone here where Roger's is sitting, all

right, that handphone is very important. How many of you think your handphone

is very bothered to you? Okay, it is, it is, of

course. So because it's so important to me, I'm going to go to

the toilet now and I don't want to take my handphone, So I said,

Rogers, do me a favor, take care of my handphone. Okay,

all right, Now, now how many of you have done this before?

Your friend you know O, can you take my handbag? Can you

watch my you know, my kid? Okay, now let's see you come

back and my handphone is no longer day. Okay, my handbag is not

mine, but your your handbag is no longer day. My kid is not

around, okay, okay, So all of you have been in this constitution

before, okay, so you know what's next? Right, what's next?

Yeah? Pending by pending for sure, but I will ask him right,

what will I ask him? Where is it right? And then he will

go because down that's lost, he will go, I don't know, or

it was just come on, give me all the excuses that you heard your

friend tell you, or maybe you will tell your friend you kid run off?

Yeah, but you didn't you see your kid? No, so what

were you doing? Elishah? That was a really good looking guy who came,

who was so cute, tall, he didn't have a shirt on,

and only that's all down his his just means you know, muscles and your

abdomen muscles. Yeah, yeah, I say, you looked at the boy

and you go like, wow, are you a messmera? Is it?

It was that very time that it was lost. Whatever you got to say,

there was a there was a moment in time where you were not paying

attention. And in life, I tell you what the devil he is expert

at distraction expert. I'm telling you ax spert my friends are. He's got

a lot of practice, no, a lot a lot, and he keeps

winning and we keep getting distracted, even with good things, not just we

got things, but good things. How do you lose? See this?

Is very important to me, right because oh, I've got so many emails

here, I've got so many addresses here I go. So it's very important,

but it's not important to you. You don't feel that importance. That

handbag may have not only my handbag, you know Burking Burkin Workin's house.

I first heard Burking so so I thought, wow, I thought, I

thought, you know, it was so expressive, this hookan bag and and

but you know it's not just a bag, and it could be the bag.

It could be that your grandmother before she passed away, gave you that

broke in, you know, and so sentimental, but it means nothing to

you. And sometimes as Christians we can live like that. And Jesus saying

watch how many how many of you know that? He said another time,

watch and pray, And then all the disciples were there because they didn't feel

it. They it was not excited or exciting to them. They didn't know

the pressure. They didn't know that Jesus was sweating blood. If you knew,

you would watch. And so we had the words ready, extra oil,

watch, and all these made the five wise and the five foolish because

we didn't understand the urgency of the time we didn't understand the call of God

on people's lives. Was very easily distracted because this world has so I was

going to say many, but I use the word much, so much distraction,

and then God will come back and says, where's my handphone? Oh?

Sorry sorry? If you would God, what is important to God,

like it was important to you, If you would say yeah, put yourself

in the shoes and say yeah. If it was my handphone, I would.

I would definitely watch it. If it was my handbag with a million

dollars inside and paying all the bills, I would watch it. If it

was my kid, I would put extra effort it was if it was my

church, not just pastor Canneth's church, not just the leaders. If it

was my church, I would spend a little bit more time. If it

was my family. If it was my friend, my best friend who needed

Jesus Christ, I would have watched. I would have preached, I would

have said something. If it was my nation, Malaysia, not just no,

not just another country, but my nation, Malaysia is mine. God

gave this nation to me. We hope you've been blessed by this message.
