One Worship - Family & Children | Pr Jack Ling

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

will light up your team. The title got a title here, all right?

You can see here one worship. You're familiar with that. You heard

of that one worship. So that's one of the things we walk we're working

on as a church. One worship together, unity and sort of title here

is family and children. Actually I had a longer title is God's thoughts of

family and children? What does what does he think of family and children?

And I do see you know a lot of families here and you're serving a

lot together God. You know, mother in law, you know, things

like that. So it's amazing. It's wonderful to have that, all right

because God loves it. God loves to see the generations and family coming together,

all right, because the other way will be the families are fighting and

they can't see eye to eye and they don't go to the same church.

It was Christie can be like that, right, said case, all right,

I don't like you know, I don't like my family member. I

want to go to another church. It's like, hey, where's you know?

How how how is that Christian? Christian supposed to forgive all these kind

of things, right, but understand, if any of you are going through

anything like that, I'm not condemning you, all right, don't worry.

You go through it, and then you you seek the Lord, you know,

and I pray that forgiveness will take place in your lives. Amen.

All right? Now, all right, So Book of Exodus, Book of

Exodus. All right, We're gonna focus on actually Exodus one and two maybe

and then chapter ten. Okay, So first thing I want to say is,

uh, I want to I want to talk about one worship. Is

that the next Yeah, one worship? Okay? So God is leading X

to this thing we call one worship one worship, meaning we've gone through some

changes, some transition, all right. Uh. And uh, you know

we used to have X campus sorry campus city campus city that we had X

teens live, right and then uh, I mean they were they were all

good stuff, all right, but I think that that was not really helping

with a one worship. So we Uh so you know, I believe God

is leading us to now all come back together and uh, not to say

no, leave out the age groups, but to bring them together, all

right. Uh? And uh, because you know with that diversity, with

that integration. Uh, young people get to see the older ones, the

older brothers, older sisters and and have a model. All right. And

then let me give you an example. So even uh in x Cyberjaya,

what's happening right now is um. Okay, in the past, what it

was was um when we had young children, all right, a lot of

us didn't really know what to do with them, right, So it's kind

of like experimental and observation that will we see like, okay, a young

child are running around and walking around and doing their own thing. And then

some sometimes I think parents, you know, we're going like what should they

do in church? They won't understand the sermon? R you know wa straight

away weren't even trying. Sometimes we go like, I do you want to

understand the sermon? There? They'll they'll be born in church? You know

this guys speaking in front there like like you know, there's there's no visuals,

no cartoon, nothing, right, and then you go like there's straight

away you go like, you know, sometimes are so fall into that the

category go like they cannot allah in a way actually I feel that's kind of

like maybe looking down a bit. But then actually but actually, you know,

Jesus always. This is why I realized Jesus always speaks to us in

a high level, like as if you're very spiritual, you know, although

at the time you're not very. But then Jesus always gives us truths like

you are a son and daughter, you're a royal priesthood, you're a spiritual

being, and and he's that way and and slowly we we get into it,

like right, so children, I feel it's the same thing. All

right, let's not um And I don't think it happens here, you know,

uh, look at them as if they are like second class no human

beings or whatever it is they are. They are able to, but they

need some guidance and training. So what happened was in Cyberjaya, all right,

and and I mean in my own life. Lie. Actually I begin

to go like, no, okay, let's let's try. Let's try,

and so I will get them to hey, you know what, try and

sit in the service. You know, when there's no X kids, I

try to bring them the prayer service, all right, pray service in those

days I brought them. And then when I go like, okay, I'm

not sure where they understand this thing, this thing. You know, we're

praying here. And so sometimes I in those days, I've kind of also

allowed, Okay, I'm gonna play your friends because your friends are all there

right when the play and then they who at at the side there. But

then I one day I decided I don't want to see them grow up that

way, because if they're doing that, then when do they stop doing that?

Because when they become fifteen, sixteen, twenty, you're still gonna do

that. You let me do it last time, so why you stop me

now. So I started to realize that and go like, no, I

don't want to I don't want to see that happening, you know in the

twenty back there playing, you know, say because this is church, I

come and do my own thing. So I stopped that. I know it

wasn't easier. So and sometimes they also say can I bring a book and

read while church is going on? Like, okay, that looks okay because

nobody will see what's going on. But you are not in the church.

You're not part of the thing. So I would say, don't, don't,

don't bring anything right now, just try and listen, Try and listen,

try and join in. You know, the first few times it was

not easy and so but then I see changes. Now I see that they're

taking things seriously, they actually understand, and I see sometimes they take the

notes are and they go like, wow, they actually know what you're saying

here. So I'm so careful what I say. You know, um so

in a way or so okay, that's one. So so getting training the

children, getting them into it. And then at the same time, you

know, as a church plant coordinator in Cyberjaya, I also start to go

like, okay, so I also wheel so and I know we're doing it

here, so you know we are so probably need to help them and help

everyone you know, be able to be a part of it, because if

you you know, talk too much I say, politics now whatever and things

that they can't really relate to, then it's then it's challenging, all right.

So that's the thing. So that's what I'm in my mind, you

know, I'm working on um and uh. One testimony is because our kids

are okay, going to pray service and honest sometimes I don't see let's say,

I don't see some of their friends and I go like, ah,

you know, like and they got to say, we are my friends and

all that kind of saying. I say, you don't here for your friends,

He's gonna praise serviously. It's prayer here to pray. You don't here

if your friends come, all right, then slowly they also learned, you

know, like it's okay. And I say, this is whining and complaining

thing. It's not acceptable. You're current to God's house and you like,

you know, is that respectful? You know it's God is here and he's

seeing like you're whining in this presence says no, no, no, no,

all right? Uh and and uh and they they're able to to accept

and learn it and catch it. And uh. So one testimony is,

you know, there was this love subunk prayer rally that happened recently. So

I decided, no, I don't bring them for everything. Lie. You

know, I don't like some example, you know, some things that say

this is leadership training all this kind of thing. They're not you know,

leaders yet yet, So I don't. I try. I try not to

bring them for everything low right, but prayer definitely, so prayers, uh

subanguan prayer rally. We decided bringing them, bringing them and so we went

and I don't. I didn't really see many children there. Uh and I

were there and uh one very interesting question, Judah asked me, Lessandra.

We love this he He's like, when are you going to turn on the

lights? He was? It was, it was, it was, well

anyway, it was. It was a good time there. And so uh

they joined in they joined in the love suban prayer really and uh uh yeah,

and I see them, you know, having their own journey walking with

God. So anyway, that's something I wanted to share, you know,

about one worship that you know, we ourselves as a family were trying to

uh do that. Amen, So um let me see now move on,

all right, So I'm gonna go into Exodris right now, all right,

yeah I can can okay, all right, right, So going into Exodris.

Actually I want to talk about um uh Moses's birth, all right,

but let me start with a bit of background. All right, Okay,

firstly, how many of you have watched Prince of Egypt the movie? The

movie it's nice, right, so long ago, but it's a lovely movie.

I love it too. But however, however, okay, I don't

know whether you also fall in this uh this this trap. You know,

I love this so much. I go, like, after I watched I

felt I read the whole exodust ready. So again, I'm done. I'm

gonna read other books now. And so I realized I've not really read the

book of exoda Is because I thought it's done. The movie has told me

everything I need to know. Anyone used to feel that way, Okay,

anyway, that that's bad, that's bad because yeah. Then then when I

started to read the book Exoders, now I realized so awful. Firstly that

movie, right, Moses goes in alone and everything, he's the hero and

everything, but actually he was like a gun talk and stuff that and Aaron

was talking, you know that. So the first thing that is gone.

Ready all right, So it's a nice movie, lit, but it's not

accurate quite quite a bit, quite a far off. You know. It's

nice to watch it, all right, because you can you can imagine how

things could have happened. But when I read the book of Expoders, I

realized, Wow, it's even more wonderful, even more amazing than the movie.

Okay, so anyway, I will share a little bit. But so

the background is there was this guy called Joseph Right, and he kind of

like uh, God led him to save Egypt. Right, he was one

of the high ranking leaders because Pharaoh trusted him and so and and Joseph was

a Jew, he was Israelite, right, a Hebrew and so long story

short, because of what he did, Uh, he brought his whole family

now from Israel to UH to Egypt, all right, and then now they're

all settled there, they're living in Egypt and so and then they multiplied and

they grew. But however, Joseph's generation and his family all uh passed on

a right, they died and so now there's a new generation and they grew

and grew and grew, and it became more and more, right. So

that's the the that's that's exost one. And then uh, then there was

a new pharaoh. There was a new pharaoh, and they and this guy

doesn't know Joseph, talk about you know, not paying attention in his three

class or whatever, or bad passing on system in Egypt. How can you

not know Joseph. He's the main guy. Man, He's saved the whole

of Egypt. You know, it was an amazing story. And now this

new king can't don't know Joseph. So anyway, that's it's just bad passing

on piece, all right. So I think it's very important to pass on

stories. And so, uh, this guy doesn't know Joseph and the family,

and so he uh, he now is worried. He's afraid. He's

he's scared of the multiplication of the Hebrews. They're gonna take over. In

his mind, they're gonna take over. And so I'm gonna enslave them.

So he's enslaves them and uh to to push them down, to oppress them.

But then they became more, all right, they became more. And

so that's the that's the background, all right. So so the enslavery right

now, and so um, uh it was bad. It was bad slavery.

It was bad. And they were crying out. They were crying out

for help. And so now we go to Exodust two where God prepares his

salvation all right through this guy called Moses. So, um, I want

to highlight here all right, Um, oh, okay, no, a

little bit more, a little bit more on an Exodust one. I want

to tell you that. So after he made he enslaved them, they multiplied

more, they became more. Um, what happened was he he took it

to the next level. So what he's doing now is he he orders the

midwives, these people who helped to deliver babies. I think they're probably Egyptians,

right, midwives, I don't we don't know. I don't know who

their own people, all right, So the midwives. He orders the midwives

to kill sons, right this still Exoders want kill any boy that comes out,

you know, from the womb, to to kill them and let the

daughters live. Why very MERCIFULA So this guy, you know, he's trying

to just trying to be a kingler right still, so he doesn't murder everyone,

but he said, okay, let the girls live, but kill the

boys because uh, you know, then they don't they can't set up an

army, all right. The girls maybe will use them, not for other

things, all right. So that's this thing. And so but then what

happened was the midwives in verse twenty and twenty one of Exoders one. Uh,

they they didn't do it. Why Pharaoh is a king and it's scary.

But then they didn't want to obey the voice that is telling them the

wrong thing. Right, Sometimes even when it comes from people that are scary

and big and you know, opposition, Um, we got to discern is

that wrong? You know, is that wrong? Is that evil? And

so the midwife decided, no, I'm not gonna We're not gonna do this

because this evil is murdered, all right. And so they didn't do it,

and they gave you know, you know, a story to Pharaoh and

he was angry. And so now because he can't trust the midwives, he

tells, now the whole nation. It becomes now our nationwide activity, kill

right, kill boys, and so that happened, and you know, they

threw them in the river and it became a massive nationwide thing. So now

move on to ecuders and it became horrible, right, and so they're crying

out, what's going on? You know, our children are being murdered here.

Um and and we see now exulers too, right, Uh oh,

yes, first thing here I want to tell you because the midwives obeyed,

you know, didn't obey the voice of evil, and they they feared God,

They feared God. What happened was so God is we read here,

So God hell with well with the midwives, and the people multiplied and grew

very strong. And because the midwives feared God, he gave them families.

Do you know that families are given by God? Because they feared God,

God gave them families. So every one of you here you have a family.

Let's acknowledge it. God has given it to us, and so we

need to do with our families what God wants us to do with our families,

you know. So it's very easy, and it's very tempting to say,

you know, these are mine, are my children, this is my

wife, but actually they belong to God and God gave to us. So

uh, in a way, you know, we ask God. Okay,

God, there, you know that you have given me and I have stewardship

over them. But then they belong to you. Do what you want with

them. So that's that's not easy to do, but if you trust God,

you know God, we can do that. Amen. All right?

So first thing is God gave families. Families are given by God. Now

we go on, all right, Can we get the next slide up here?

All right? So first verse in exports too. Now a man from

the house of Levi went and took his wife, a Levite woman. Right,

this is a thing. When I first read Exodes, uh, and

then I came to this page, I realized, Hey, nobody really talks

about Moses's parents. Nobody knows their names. So you know what, maybe

you know expert in Bible, but anyone knows Moses's parents' names. Okay,

all right, anyone knows who's name, Oh, Joshebette or Jet or one

of those Hebrews. Okay, so mother is Joe Bet Joe Shabet and the

father's name is Emremma. Remember those names. They're very they're actually very amazing

people. Why because of them they raised up such a person called Moses.

Nobody remembers them. They're like Moses the hero, you know, Moses getting

all the popularity. You know, he's like he's saving lives. Even Aaron

when him, like become a slight project. But actually actually Aaron helped him

by Moses getting all the name all right anyway, so no, no,

no, no problem, no problem, all right, Moses is amazing.

But because of the parents why why I say that? Was firstly a man

from the House of Levi, meaning they're their priests, they are believers,

so it's important, right parents, or you know, anyone, you're you're

a leader, you are a boss, you know, or your teacher,

right, are you a believing parent, teacher, boss? Uh? And

then he took a wife, right, who is also from the Levite tribe,

and so both of them are believers. Both of them love God,

and so because of that, they the way they raised their kids are different.

And I want to highlight two more names that we probably also don't really

talk about much, which is the siblings of Moses. Do you know how

amazing they are? Also, Moses didn't want to go, but his brother

Aaron went, and so Aaron was in their big picture of the whole salvation

of Israel in Egypt. And then the sister even worse, we don't really

talk about Miriam, Miriam kat. She was only mentioned once or something like

that. All right, she's she's She was mentioned as a child, she

helped uh, you know, Moses as a baby floating in the river a

right to make sure he was safe. And because of her action, her

boldness of she went up to the princess, she could have been you know,

I don't know, killed or whatever it is for trying to save this

Hebrew son. But then she went up and say hey, and then she

had clever words to say, you want someone to come and help take care

all these you know, I don't know how she can think that way.

I got I know someone who can help the take care of this baby,

and then called the mom. Calls the mom to take care. And then

so now Moses, you know who was you know, almost released to an

Egyptian lady, is now being able to able to be raised up by his

own mom. All right. So anyway, there's two uh, there's two

more people. The siblings are Aaron and Miriam. So um, what I'm

trying to say is how amazing these parents are. Okay, and I'm inspired?

All right? Can we raised moseses Aaron's and Miriam's uh for our nation?

Amen? So huh? All right, erondo, okay, hallelujah.

Okay, so um, now let's go to the next night, Yeah,

next light. Okay. The moment the woman conceived and bore a son,

and when she saw that he was a fine child, she hit him three

months all right, So she is like the midwife or so she didn't obey

what Pharaoh said, all right, and so she she saw the child and

this child is he says, what a fine child? Fine child? Meaning

okay, on the child healthy, all right? And so nothing wrong with

this child? Why should I destroy him? Right, I'm gonna keep him,

gonna hide him, and so, um, this is a god fearing

decision. Will you make god fearing decisions in your life? Um, you

can only do that if you're God fearing, all right. So let's all

be god fearing, god fearing, and so we can make god fearing decisions.

And even if it's you know, there's there's some controversial in Exodus,

you know, because there's a bit of lying going on and then a bit

of hiding all these things. But then, uh, we gotta go with

what does God say? So if God says do not murder, then that

is a higher word, all right. So um, anyway, we're talking

about all those controversial things next time. But um, she she hit,

she hit Moses, and this was a god fearing decision. And then we

move on to the next one. Right when she could not hide him any

longer, all right, she took for him a basket made of bull rushes

and dabbed it, dabbed it with with bitumen and pitch. She put the

child in uh, in it, and placed it among the reeds by the

river bank. Okay, what does this talk about Uh. You know,

there are times in our lives where we need to release where we can no

longer keep a child, all right, Uh right, So about hiding the

child, how I see it at is, uh, there's a place where

you do need to cover and shelter and shield your child from violence, right

from the darkness of the world. And so that's what she did. She

hit the child, protecting them from the influences of the world. So for

today, you know, for those who are of you who plan to have

kids, you know, uh, there is a place for that. So

for example, there's so many things, you know, there's there's Netflix,

lah all this, you know what Amazoia and all this. So there's so

many things there and they can be free to click anything nowadays, right,

YouTube and everything like that. And so I see that, you know,

when when um Moses' mom hid the child, it's the same thing as you

know, uh, parents sheltering your children from these things, violence and immoral

things, all right. And you know, of course there's there's a lot

of discussion, you know, thinking like how much can we shelter the kids?

You know, but I think it's it's worth the battle. It's worth

the battle it's worth hiding them and sheltering them as much as we can because

they need it. That's why we're here. That's why parents are because they

can't fend for themselves. So that's why we need to shelter and protect them,

all right. I feel also, you know, many many parents give

too much choice choices to the young ones, too early, too early,

too much, and yeah, too soon, you know, and and it's

like playing with fire. So um, I think there is a place parents

do need to limit and protect and hide. Not to say because because some

you know, white people say that it's because they feel like, oh,

you're limiting them. You're like, you know, uh, stopping them.

But actually it's not that. It's it's care. It's care to be able

to protect them and cover them, just like what we see here, protecting

them from the violent world. Right. But then there comes a time where

you do need to release. But you see the way she releases, it's

not like that's sometimes the way people feel, you know, I feel like

parenting is like release, release, I go right all the way, go

now. But look at what she does. She makes a basket, she

makes sure the basket can float, She put all the stuff there all right,

uh, and and then she she puts in the read you know in

the Priests of egypta very dramatic the river it's like floating and it's like he

paused and stuffle like that, you know. But actually I think it was

like it a gentle you know stream. So anyway, just place there and

it was not that violent. Now. So um so this this thing reminds

me of because it's just a basket made of and other vergence is an arc.

The arc reminds me of Noah. And I believe it's on purpose.

The Bible mentions that way, and it mentions the same material that is used

for the arc in Noah's time because they want to parallel it and remind them

of this story of Noah meaning salvation, salvation, because the Noah's arc story

talks about salvation, God's saving. And so, uh, we're talking about

release, right. It's not the way of release of neglect, but it's

released with care. So there's a place to release, but then there's much

care that still needs to go into it. And so when they release and

say okay, you're gonna let you watch this now, I'm gonna let you

be exposed to this. Now, I'm still there. I'm still gonna watch,

I'm still gonna observe. I know, I hear some parents, you

know, when their kids are teenage early and they want to go hang out.

They want to go hang out with you know, their friends, you

know, uh and uh. They want to do a lot of funky activities.

I know the parents. Okailler, they say, I don't want to

hang out with you and your friends, but I'll be there. I'm still

there. I'm still around, So don't do anything funny because I'm still around.

Okay, but not much, not so much that. But it's more

like, if anything happens, you can call me. I'm just there.

I'm there, I'm I'm I'm I'm a few seconds away, Yeah, a

few minutes away, so it won't take hours for me to arrive, and

I can be there for the emergency. So this, this reminds me of

that still carrying, still being there, even though there's release. All right,

okay, they once your care. All right, I know you'll want

to let me set me free right now, let me go and fly by.

Your wings haven't grown yet properly, still growing, all right? You

throw your crash, Okay, anyway, all right, let's let your wings

grow bigger first. You know, your parents take care of you. All

right, there will be a right time for release, bit by bit bye

through care, Amen, hallelujah. All right everyone, okay, okay,

now, so I'm gonna move on right now. Okay, Now I'm gonna

tell you a little bit about Exodus and the plagues, some interesting things I

caught, and uh, maybe we can we can all learn from this,

and maybe we can also guess now who said it? It's like game,

yea, who said it? So in Exodus chapter five, Verse one says,

here, uh, let my people go, that they may hold a

feast to me? Who said it? Is? I? The more,

says Pharaoh? Who said that? Moses? Of course, Pharaoh, Okay,

let my people go. Moses comes to Pharaoh. This is the first

time, I think, or maybe second time he comes to Pharaoh says,

let my people go, that they may hold a feast to me. What

what were you trying to say? Here? You know in the movie it

says, let my people go, go go, that's all and he stops

there. It's like, yeah, freedom, you know, like and then

he said this story is all but freedom. Let him fly, you know,

but it sounds so good, right, and the whole world will love

that kind of a message. Let them free, you know, seton free

and all that. But actually it's let me people go that they may hold

a feast to me. There's the second part of it, let my people

go. In other other parts of it and other versions says let my people

go so that they can't serve me, Let my people go so they can

worship me. So there's a reason. There's a reason for the freedom,

right. So it's just when people go, go, go, go,

and then go go anywhere. You're like, you know, it's not it's

there why people go so that they can do something for me, not for

you, because they've been serving you, Pharaoh, So but you're not the

right person they should serve. They should serve me because I'm God, right,

No, I mean, you know God saying that. So let's remember

that your freedom through Jesus is to serve Him, is to serve God.

Amen. I'm sure you all know that. Okay, Next one, uh,

who is the lord who said that Pharaoh? Moses Pharaoh? He the

first thing because and then this is what the reason why he didn't let go

out because She's like, who's this guy? Who is the lord? Say

the lord tells you know, a let of people go, who's the lord?

I'm the Lord already, he says, probably thinking I'm the lord here.

You know, I'm Egypt, God of Egypt. So uh he he

doesn't recognize and so uh And verse seven in eighteen says, you are idle

and want to worship. You're you're so lazy. That's why you give me

all the excuse won't go to church. All right. I don't know how

many people do that? Lah right, Uh okay, And they say,

okay, since you're so free, I give more work, I give more.

You go work more, all right. And this one reminds us of

um okay, so de wine, this one obviously parolah all right. Uh,

this one reminds us of you know, how the world. You know,

sometimes Sundays are taken up and and then we don't get to come to

church, you know, uh, when we want to come to church,

then there's a challenge, you know. Uh, hey, don't like Church's

just church. It's just you know, some site activity dealies for lazy people.

You're just sitting there on here, right. It's very relaxing, right,

Church, all right, Nola, come and work. I give you

more money. So there's the temptation, right, and this reminds us of

that, you know Pharaoh. Uh? Next one, okay, at the

plague of the frogs, Chapter eight, verse ten, right, uh,

tomorrow who said that Pharaoh? This was very interesting sea. Uh there was

a plague of blood. And then I think the next one it's frog right,

frogs? When frogs came, what happened was this is interesting. I

don't think it's well, I don't know where it's shown in the cartoon.

But when it was, the place was flooded with frogs. Frogs came out

of the river and flooded Egypt with frogs. What happened was the magicians came

out, right, magicians goes who can do? Made more frogs, made

more frogs. Didn't solve the problem. Now you're so great, you should

make the frogs disappear. But made more frogs. Nobody? I mean,

I didn't really think about it before I got it. Oh actually, yeah,

why didn't he solve the problem and remove the frogs? That you're so

great? Right? But you made more frogs to show is can do?

But actually it doesn't help. It doesn't help, all right, and so

but anyway, as the frogs, you know, messing with them, and

they are all frustrated. Uh. Pharaoh finally comes and say, you know

this, this is really bothering me. Can you please? I don't know

why he didn't ask me magicians as Moses please, you know, get rid

of these frogs. And then funny thing is Moses asked, okay, you

tell me when you tell me when you want the frogs removed. If it's

so urgent, I say now that right by pharaohs like tomorrow, it's interesting,

it's funny, all right, Pharaohs tomorrow like way tomorrow you want to

hold your slaves one more day? Because he say, if you let go,

if you get rid of frogs, I will let them go. Right

But he cannot, he cannot, he cannot part with it. Right there,

say tomorrow tomorrow, let me let me maximize us the slavery. So

same thing. Yeah, this is what we call procrastination. All right,

if we all like to do that tomorrow, wanna you know? Then then

there we sound like Pharaoh. Okay, be careful with this whole tomorrow thing.

If what what can be done now do it now, right, don't

say wait tomorrow, all right unless you really have too no choice, right,

but what can be done now, Let's do it now. So then

the next one verse twenty eight. By this time the magicians gave up.

They cannot. I cannot do the same thing. So flies, flies go,

but not too far. Pray for me? Who say this Pharaoh?

Pharaoh actually said pray for me, pray for me. Moses all right,

so Christian, okay, so go now, he says, go, but

don't go too far. You know, this reminds us of also, you

know, uh many times, you know, we want to go, we

want to serve the Lord, your serve, but don't go so far.

Just just a bit enough for me, stuff a bit, you know,

don't go for the ah. This is pharaoh style. Okay. Then then

oh you know then Christian, right, go those so much and then pray

for me, pray for me. So very interesting. When I read all

this, I go like, wow, I never noticed it. And then

verse twenty seven and hal, this was hale this I think is it number

six or seven plaque? Yeah, and it says I have sinned, we

are wrong. Wow, I should never know this is this? This Pharaoh.

Pharaoh actually said to Moses, we have sinned. We are wrong.

He admits it, he repents. How many of you sell repent before?

So but every time he repents, we are wrong. Please, you know,

tell God to stop this. I will let them go. And then

when the plaque stops, he's like, oh, everything's fine already. No,

I'm not letting them go, you know. All right, So just

some noteworthy quotes during the plagues. Okay, all right, so we move

on. I'm gonna move on right now. Wow, what time is it

now? Yeah, all right, okay, we wrap up soon. So

chapter ten now, I'm gonna move on to chapter ten. Chapter ten is

the locusts. Okay, I brought you through a little bit more of the

you know, the whole story, so that we can come to chapter ten

and chapter ten the eighth Plague. Okay, all right, let's just read

this, all right. Then, the Lord said to Moses, go into

Pharaoh, for I have hardened his heart and the heart of his servants,

that I may show these signs of mine among them, and that you may

tell in the hearing of your son and of your grandson, how I have

dealt harshly with the Egyptians, and what signs I have done among them that

you may know that I am the Lord? All right? Yeah, that's

at the verse two. Yes, correct. So here we see what God

is saying here, and that you may tell in the hearing of your son

and of your grandson about me. This tells me that God is thinking of

our children. I do all these things so that you can tell your children,

and only they didn't stop there, says and your grandchildren, so that

you can tell your children and your grandchildren. He's thinking of our children.

He's thinking of our grandchildren. He's doing these things not just for us,

right, but it's for our children and grandchildren. It's not just for the

Egyptians. He's not here to show off to the Egyptians. He's actually doing

it for us, for his people, all right. So let's catch something

here. God thinks of our children and our children's children. So what we're

talking about here one worship. So our children and our children's children are so

important to God. And that's why we don't leave them out. And that's

why we involve them and we get them in and we train them and we

teach them towards the finishing line. Amen, and then we move on.

We move on now. So Moses and Aaron were brought back to Pharaoh,

and he said to them, go serve the Lord, your god. But

which ones are to go? So just now he says, go, but

don't go too far. Right. But now he changed a little bit,

all right, because he got consulted with his officials, and officer just say,

okay, I'll let them go, Ala, but just let the men

go. The others don't let them go. Just let the men go,

and says, so we ask who who's going? Who's going? And then

Moses said, we will go with our young and old. We will go

with our sons and daughters, and with our flocks and herds. For all

we must hold a feast to the Lord. Every one is going. And

then the next verse, yeah, but he said to them the Lord,

well this is a pharaoh's Yeah. When I first read that, I can't

believe Pharaoh talking. Ladies, the Lord be with you, are right,

The Lord be with you if ever I let you and your little ones go.

Look, you have some evil purpose in mind. Why you want to

bring everybody? Is something bad you're gonna do. Right, He's saying to

Moses, no, go the men only among you and serve the lord.

Go go and serve the Lord, but only the men, for that is

what you are asking. And they and they were driven out from Pharaoh's present.

In short, what he's saying is, don't go with everyone. Why

you want to bring children. They don't understand these things. They won't get

it right, and you're gonna make them tired. They're gonna be bored going

there. Don't bring them so evil? Are you? Whoa sounds familiar read?

Oh, okay, he's he's trying to be nice for Pharaoh. He's

trying to be like, I help you, Lah, you just go with

the man. They are so strong, they go, they do just like

just like us Egyptians. They probably do that. Let the children and the

women stay at home and relax. Okay, let the men do the thing.

Why are you so bad, Moses? It's sad, that's what he's

saying. All right, But Moses, you know, and God is he

doesn't. He doesn't go that way. He wants everyone because everyone is involved,

everyone is part of the family. And so he says, you know,

no, everyone must go. We can't leave anyone out. And then

later on, I don't know what it is included in us. Oh no,

but later on, uh, he'll also say possessions the flocks. Yeah,

meaning I'm not going to leave my my animals and my possession behind.

Because Pharaoh later on asked, okay, everyone can go. The childrens will

go, but leave some animals behind. That's later on, right, maybe

he's not mentioned here. Pharaoh will say go with the children as well,

Okay, you want so much to go, but leave some animals behind.

And and Moses will say, no, I'm not leaving any because where's the

sacrifice going to come from any the animals sacrifice? All right? So the

enemy keeps trying to bargain and say leave something, leave something, don't don't

go all the way, right, don't go too far, don't don't go

all the way, just just go a bit. It's okay, you know

your spare change to God. All right. That's that's how the pharaoh seeds

to be speaking. But Moses, I'm glad he knew how to make his

stand and say no, no, no, everyone's going. Everything is coming

along. I will not leave anyone behind, all right. Yeah, And

then maybe he looks better, right, drag the children don't have to walk

far away, all these kind of things right anymore, you know, torturing,

right, But but but no one want should be left you know why

they're left behind, their slaves behind. There's the worshiping Feroh so sometimes we

don't see that. I say, yeah, you know, let them know.

But then you're getting them to worship someone, someone else, something else.

So that's what we don't want. Amen, include them, Let's include

them, train them, don't leave them out. And talking about children,

but not just children, uh, you know, uh, there are there

are many age groups here all right, even even the older ones. Yeah

right. Uh. In X Church, you know, we always say yes,
