Heaven Rules - Towards The Finishing Line | Elder Wong Kien Yiak

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

will light up your day. So they want to speak about our church team

heaven rules. Some of you remember that towards the finishing line very important to

get towards the finishing line. Kind of cities. You can't hate towards the

finish line if you really start. A lot of people say I want to

finish the race. Provided if you start the race doesn't mean a believer.

Just because you believe, you're on the race. Because you have to apply

yourself in a race. Doesn't mean you wear a sports shoe means you can

run, or you have a gym membership means you're healthy. Doesn't mean you're

a believer. You're on the race. So I've conducted a lot of funeral

services, a lot of memorial services, and sometimes people I know easier to

say some people I do not know very hard. But we like to use

the scripture. I thought the good fight, I thought the good fight.

I kept the faith and finish the race. But you cannot run all right.

You can't say you finish a race if we did start. And there's

too many creatures who are spectators. Either cheering and the bleachers that run,

run, run, go for it, but never start. I want to

encourage your executor communing, start your journey of faith, because if you don't

start, it's very hard to finish, or you can never finish. Right

now, we need to finish by believing and doing. By believing and doing,

very important, believers, I want to encourage you. We have to

finish this race of life, this journey on earth, by believing. If

you don't believe, it's very hard. If you don't believe in marriage,

it's very hard. You don't believe in the church, it's very hard.

You could be in church right now thinking that or what am I doing here?

You know your friend like you here? Right? You have to believe

one point at the time. You have to believe God has a plan for

you. Someone say, amen, God, that's if a plan for you?

If regardless of your age, your background, why would this God has

a plan for you? But can believe in itself? Can I just see

this? Well, it's good. It's not everything because believing must translate into

action. Oh, I believe in marriage. I believe my wife knows that

I love her very much. Never celebrate anniversary, do you know, it's

very dangerous if you never celebrate your marrish, your anniversary, your wife bay,

I believe I love my wife so much she knows it now, will

buy her anything for birthday? You know that you're very close to me with

Jesus. Really, husband, if you never buy your wife anything for a

birthday? Right, So a lot of people I think I shave your wife

plan before. I was speaking to a husband one time, say, oh,

my wife knows I love her very much. The wife said, I

just only want flowers. I give you wine. No, I want flowers.

I give you a handbag, I want flowers. So I asked,

why don't give flowers num much cheaper, easier to find, or flowers can

die? Not wove the value. But the wife just want flowers. I

don't need hambags, I don't need red wine, I don't need anything else.

I just want my husband to buy me flowers that say you believe I

love you with I provide so many things with. But see believing itself As

a believer. I believe in Jesus. I believe he has a plant for

me. But if you don't translate the plant into action, we'll end up

just believing and it's not enough just to believe, because there's too many people

who just believe and never translate to the action. All right, now,

the main power of the scripture is matt to trainy eight metty trainy eight nineteen

to twenty. Follow me meta train nineteen to twenty. Right, Go therefore,

make discipers of all nation, baptizing them in the name of the Father,

the Son, Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things which are

commanded. You know, I review always to the end of the age.

The Bible here says, this is Jesus commandment for us. Go therefore and

make discipers. Go first. You cannot go if you don't believe. If

you're going, you can't to believe. I'm going to turn you afterwards to

explain to you from x chapter three. All right, but I want to

courage you. If you look at this scripture the Bible hears it. Go.

Do you know how hard the journey is if you're traveling and you don't

believe. Very hard to convince people go for missions. Why do you know,

sometimes we take our Christian duty of mishas are like almost agree for holiday.

We have to convince people. Right now, look at the brochure.

Look at the brochure right now. If you go for this mission, you

can visit all these interesting places, try all the exotic food. Right.

I have never met anyone who go on traveling who just out to travel randomly

by a ticket. Never do any research and just go. Corey requires faith.

Faith requires belief. You have to be totally convinced that God has a

plan for you. But many times Christian. Right now, this is help

we sell missions. Go for missions law. If you haven't made for missus,

I won't let you know. There is a place. Come up my

cloud, so my cloud. Some of you have known the place that we

not know the place. But my wife was the first team that went in

there. So why clouds a place whereby you know it's located in Bento and

what's good in Bento? Duri ends so where every whichever home she and the

team went through, the the family of the homes. I'm so sorry.

We don't have anything to offer to you but except for Musan King, so

please help one home to another home. Musan King, I'm so sorry.

Nothing. We only got us King for you. The day they left,

the pastor and and and the church partners were up too gooony sack of Busan

King. Please take you back with you, please stake you back. And

and they were while they were there, they were they had you know,

so they were explaining to them this, this are personal tree that we don't

think itself for posit the consumption. And this after telling that other people,

we saw that the people whose life was so white cloud went up went up

with no friends, went up south. They went to site Cloud tvcly but

not during season, came back nothing to eat. But here's this, this

this is how we normally self go uh go for missions and perhaps you find

your life partner there. Indeed, one of our church partners or rather is

xing uple found each other form for xingupple ones for ex Malaysia found each other

in a mission trip at like October. This is how we sell missions.

But very sether. We say, guys, we want you to go very

set. We see the response here I am semi lor gola one or two,

but majority of them a lot convincing. We showed the nice place.

We tell people there are proper toilets there right now. Hapco Chapter three,

Chapter two was for the day for the earth will be filled with the knowledge

of the glory of the Lord as the water covers the sea. There has

always been our mission and vision. Our vision is to see every every community

the words alike of the Gospel comes in into the community. I have this

thing within me, whereby I cannot take it. Where a community there is

no church presentation in the community, that's me, that's me. How I'm

wiet So I told pasta one day, I said, a pastor. Then

after ever we say that pass. Did you know that in our Damasara,

our send our tent to three service got some partners who say in our Damasara

there is no homes there. Says how can this be? Let me make

a few phone calls. Made a few phone calls. I say, brother,

you go home there, right, I say, yes, not being

used on Friday, right, very dangerous to meet me, not being used

on Friday? Right. No, we want to use to place of homes.

Canna not of course, when I ask for how to say no one

ah ken. Next question is that don't really you have to be a leader.

Let me get another leader for you. That's week. Another person is

saying that, hey, you're great for homes right, Yes, you have

to go to Suban jair for homes. That yes, very bad traffic jam

hall, yes, forty five minutes of fifteen minutes or from hour to suban

what dominatics five minutes on the end where we jam every Friday you go to

the gym. You don't like it, right, y'allah? How could this

imagine right now you can start the homes in our Damasarah, that would be

a good idea. I found you a place. Would you want to lead

the homes? Kenna? See the way we put it all together. We'll

start something there. Because it's just stick too long to go to homes.

I go to homes about one hour and trainees driving. It's really far.

I know how, I know how it means. So I cannot take it

when there's in the community there is no light. There is no light in

the community, saying that I have this thing that why does why do we

plan homes in condominium and where were contacted? We just want homes whereby their

fifth three hundred and fifty units in a condo can one unit sustain all three

fifty units of household in one unit. I always think I was st about

the pastor I dreamed a day whereby I'll just round and say, in this

condominium community, we have two or three homes, not just one. That's

how I'm wired. Friends, So when I see the scripture, I said,

God, you must have a plan for me. You must have a

plan for me, because I'm not contented just by existing. You see my

passion. Really, I'm not just contented by just having running church on a

Sunday. After a while, it's not just enough to come on the Sunday.

Let me show it. Turn with me right now to except the tree,

except the tree was one. Except the tree was one. Now.

Peter and John went up together to the temple at the hour of prayer,

the ninth hour. The Bible heat says that Peter and John went out for

prayer. Friends, it's good to come on Sunday for fellowship, fantastic,

But collect and carriage you go for a prayer service. Don't see that.

My weekdays are packed ready? Yes, friends, I know it's pack.

But Sunday is where we worship. But prayer service is where we believe God

can move. I let me explain to you why, because many times in

our faith, if you don't express our faith, our faith after all gets

challenged. We have to come to place I really believe my prayer makes a

difference. We have to come to the place whereby our we know that our

prayer makes a difference. And I know sometimes said yes, although you understand

my pet my schedule is back. Yes, but there are days when we

can. I'm not saying the day said we canna the dash you can't.

You really can't. But the these when you can, will you turn on

a current drama or will you come for prayer the days when you can.

I'm not saying the dash you can't understand? Okay, you don't lead me

things. You know you got you got husband to feed. Understand. Hey,

a hungry husband is an angry husband. Okay, hey, why why

said that? Say amen on, let will say that's true. Yeah,

a hungry husband is angry. I know my wife will say you you're hungry,

that it's angry. Huh, angry, I know the world. I

don't know where it came from by hand. Angry. All right. So

the days when you can friends, the days so you can see a lot

of friends, you are very contented to come. A lot of people say,

I believe God can do Americas come for prayer service now? I'm not

putting the word is. I'm not encouraging your putting you on those type spot.

But when you can, when your schedule allows you, when you know

there is prayer service on that day, when your schedule allows you, we

have a choice, but too often we just go with this thing up,

oh I'm busy. I cannot. One time I sit down where a leader

say, oh, I'm really busy. I got no friends, no spare

time. Events asked, let's dissected, give me right now a week.

You think that you think that you can squeeze out a free day. I

was, I cannot. There's no free day, no free day, no

free day, and mostly just like no free day. One. I said,

let's look at it, because by just having a speck schedule, it

doesn't mean you're busy. Because if you believe this is a value, you'll

make me cove out time one, you will cove out time for what's really

important. So the Bible in metric rays go friends, go go requires faith.

Peter and John knew that the faith cannot just be on Sunday alone,

and too many believers I just rely on Sunday to sustain throughout the week.

But when you go for prayer, you expect God to move. I have

never heard any believers there. I go to prayer to find my fun.

I have never heard any single person day. I go to prayer serdays to

find my girlfriend. There, to find my boyfriend there. It's always we've

got here to command. Oh, I'm sorry if you are here, I

didn't know. Okay, I alway didn't ask me to preciates all right,

but I've never heard okay in Sobanja. I've never heard I go to prayer

serways. No, only because I believe that people go to prayer surveys to

find a lord. Now was to a certain man name from the mother's room,

carried there daily at the gate temper cup beautiful, asking for arms and

those who enter the temper. The lame man, friends, was carried to

the temper on the daily basis. Carried to the temper on the daily basis.

Friends, If you want to ask for money, if you want the

ambush paper for money, wouldn't the ATM bank that would be better place?

Think about it. I'm asking you, but you think about It's true?

Right? I know we're asking for compassion. Paper's compassion to give. So

I'm reading into this scripture, I realized the lame man must believe. One

point in time. You can't go to a temper and hear the testimony and

not believe. On you know, you can't go to a temper and hear

what God has done and not believe. It's very hard, friends, to

come to a place whereby, oh cannot you. Maybe you come to a

place and maybe you came to church this today the word is it's so hard

to believe. But after a while that testimonies, you cannot deny science.

Wonder's man very hard to deny our church with me, there was the time

and we pray for people, and people got healed our prayer. You heard

some testimonies. Really, so you cannot deny what God has done. So

as a person who is who's in need, if you have a desperate need,

come on, wouldn't you believe. Wouldn't you believe? City the temper

there hearing people pray, wouldn't you believe? If you're the place whereby you're

death spread you you want God to move, you come to church believing and

maybe and perhaps after a while, because he didn't see his big truth,

he was disappointed. Believe, get this disappointment when you lou see a big

truth because faith requires time. When time is not on your side, or

you cannot the word is that you cannot take waiting. We come to a

place where we can be very discouraged, and most time where we are discouraged

because I pray to God every day, but nothing happened. I pray to

God every day, but nothing happened, and the lame man. After a

while, friends got this place, or whichever person I see, I just

ask for money because thinking that money can satisfy what he needs. And too

many people are looking for external physical things to sense of what he really needs

internally. Too many people are relying on external stuff to feed it. Tell

you what you need. Friends, there is nothing in the world can the

word is that create a self healthy self image of you. There's nothing you

can buy, no matter what brand or closely where. It doesn't improve your

self image, internal self image. How God has made you nothing. Friends,

No matter how many money you have your bank account, it doesn't.

The word increase your self worth because yourself will comes from the Lord, knowing

who you are in Christ. First, you have come to this place where

by recognizing that money it's not the answer, or rather things on physical things

is not the answer. The real answer can only be found in God because

we need a spiritual answer for deeper need in our hearts. That's why it

works. To the lame man was carried the temple on a daily basis looking

for a breakshoe, a break true spirit breakshoe, but asking for a physical

needs. This is what happened. Who stopped believing believing, begin to ask

for physical needs to feel our life. It's very easy one. And I

know I've been doing test for so long where you're almost at twenty three years

after it's very easy. After a while, I've recognized that why people after

a while the world is this that uh, when they ask for thinks and

after you can tell one, you can almost smell that they stopped believing.

Oh I need this so this can happen. I need that so that they

can happen. But friends, we need need to have a pattern whereby if

it works in the interiors, it must work for us. For example,

so passin pass worlds a couple of songs. One of the songs that told

pasta these that pastor, can I think one of your songs? One experiment

trust lead to Eban language, Eban language of all languages. I decided that

let's pass schgistics. Just want to try. So we did the song.

Okay, we partners come in all right, they say, the user do

not very fluent the language, but we will ask our family back home in

Sarah to help us translate. Translated the song iban. So you know that

Passers had been three weeks ago and past remember I told pass It if you

go to Bintulu and you want to share this song, the song is available

on YouTube. Pasta remembered he showed it at the He showed it at the

leaders meeting. They love it, They asked past the question Pasta, creating

this song right now and use it as our outreach to the long houses where

we go to the interiors. Interiors see a lot of times where where we

have a physicist sound studio, right. We want to create albums just for

the reach the lot. One time told me that not just reached the reach,

but reached the loss. And that's why this scripture is so real to

me. Because worst tree seeing Peter and John growing up, the temper the

ass of money and works for fixing his eyes on him. Peter and John

to say look at us, Well, man are looking for reason for leaving

true physical needs. You and I need to look to the Lord why he

gave us and blessed us with Why do you think the Lord has bless us

with us with a really a small our studio. It's not fantastic our studio,

friends, has an air conducting that create noise on It's the most not

ideal place for studio. Savio been there before. While sending Alex Martin,

our music producer, this say Alex, if God is not glorified or a

small studio or even give us a big studio, well we keep studio as

good as what you get. Old sis, we're not going to create and

honor the Lord. I said, I believe that if you're fitful enough it

this God bless us. So the question is this, what has God been

given? What has God deposited in your life that you know that it's for

the Lord? One bitter and John has his faith depend up to the temper

to pray. The lame guy was put on the temper coop. Beautiful beautiful

name, messed up life. Beautiful name messed up life, beautiful environment,

deprived insight God this morning wants to remind us again that the external friends,

the external can be beautiful, but internally, let's get it correct, the

excellent can be so nice. And many times you look for an external answer

for what we really need. Internally, we think that a nice holiday is

all that we need. True, but that can only last for a very

short time. What we need to find is strength in the Lord. We

think that if God can come to financially for us to answer all the problem,

yes, it may for season, but there's some things that money cannot

solve. I will say Alex Martin yesterday and we were talking about you know,

and he has a condition. He gets epility once in a while.

He couldn't he he will just blank out. So as we're talking, she

didn't not. I say, so, Brethern, Now with this condition,

how would you live a life? And he just said just like that.

Day by day, I say, I agree with you. We can only

maximize what we have in the day. The rest we leave it to the

Lord, because we're out without going all the way for Jesus, we will

be holding back. So that's why the first thing is to go. But

to go, we have to believe, take a part of the scripture says,

go and make to do go and make this one was the hardest thing.

Hardest thing is to invest in someone else, very sucie. The Bible

here says, go and make a lot of people go. But I don't

like to make discipers, so because I will see you next week, so

I can be very straightforward. You all all right? Praise pass is preachy

next week. He's a living pastor. I would just just many times of

Christian work, Isn't it true? We want to believe God for break truth

only in our life, but we never bother about other people and ouch never

like, for example, make discipers. Huh miss be a part of leadershiba

mm hmmm do you know? Do you? No? Investment into other people

requires time and energy, heartaches. So we are noting here. You understand

you've been Christian long enough, you've tried it before. After a while,

more heartaches and break true, more hardage than be. But the Bible here's

is good and therefore make disciples frist. The Bible did not actually go make

puppies. Okay, it's sometimes easier to train puppies than than to invest in

someone else. Me and my wife, you don't have we love I love

pets my wife the way I love pets. But I introduced to her if

you don't like pet, now, might just watch YouTube video on pets.

So after washing, I'm trying to brainwash my wife. So after watch it,

maybe we can consider a cat or dog. Maybe right that I begin

to show her videos of about cats. It's not disciplined already groomed. My

wife said, no cats at home? They show dogs. Sure, they

said, Oh I like small dogs. I say husky. It's the right

way to go big dogs, right? She said big dogs were scary war

She's why I'm trying to get that sometimes that we think we take chances with

pet not knowing that whether we return not. But we don't believe in other

people. So scripture says that go Therefore, I make a lot of people

go, but don't make we go out journey with the law, but don't

invest in other people. Why. That's why it was so big too,

because we are no whired. Meant we are not wired to be alone.

We are not wired to be an island. We are wired to invest in

someone else's life. Because if we don't invest in someone others other people's life,

our cushion world would be statenant. One time there was a leader in

our church earlier days, was going to brow problem after an our problem,

after an our problem. At one time passer can't sit down with him.

The answer to your problem is this is that you must start investing in someone

else's life. Then you're able to see what you believe. You know it's

true or not. Too many Christians attorney to be professors of the scripture,

but not do wors no the Bible insight out fantastic praise Lord, Hallelujah.

We need them, not practitioners. And many times the Lord is always challenging

us. If you don't go, who will go? A zaih Chapter six

say who can I send? But although you must understand I'm of a certain

age, didn't say only the younger one can go. If you are below

forty you can go. If you do, if you're not disabled, you

can go. If or healthy you can go. I met my friend's dead

or rather my friend has a dad, and went over to somebody I think

media Asia in his seventies for mission. I went like, Wow, what

a way to live your life? Could you mad? You? Right now?

A way to leave yourself is agree for missions what a way to live

your life. You're not just doing gardening at home. You're nothing. I

live gardening. If you have a passion for gardening, please come to my

house. I have I I have a garden of weeds right now. I

have no time to take care of But first, not just drink at home,

but Queen for missions, Queen day, say God. Even though I'm

oh, I know, I still a fire in my belly. I still

want to do the things of the Lord. So why stopping you from making

discipers? What is stopping you from investing in someone else's life? Although you

don't understand, I got burned before. First, you know how many people

disappointed Jesus that, Yet Jesus still stay on to the court to that at

the cross. First, this is not a seal speech of asking you to

serve the Lord. There's not a seal speech of asking you do missions or

make discipers. We cannot just believe God for breaktue in our own life and

not care about someone else's life. We cannot just ask God for a financial

breaktue in our own life. Yet, don't be a blessing to other Because

if we just think only for ourselves, how far do you think the lot

will allow us to go through our life like that, Go therefore and make

disciples. So back to X. Okay, back to X. First,

I'm not scolding your Please love me all right, Please tell a pasticcad of

appreciate a really good message, right, ask him to come back. All

right? So for my last point, I know that my last point is

this. Okay, first of us we have to go. Second, we

have to make disciples, and finally it's going to be this I'm gonna show

you for except to tree, discipleship is always the key for growth. Discipleship

is always the key for growth. Let me me right now back to except

the tree, and let me just read this to you're six six extrapt The

tree was, and Peter said, sewer and go. I do not have,

but what I have I give to you in the name of Jesus Christ

of natures. Rise up and walk, Rise up and walk, Rise up

and walk. Here's Peter and John reaching out their hands to the laymen.

The laymen, for the longest time couldn't get up. And sometimes why we

are stuck in our own journeys because we tried so much with our own strength.

Every passerby I just need money. Just give me money, then go,

just give me money. Go, just give me money. Go you

away, Just give me money, go away. Here's Peter and John reaching

out their hands towards the person and say, sewear and go. I do

not have but rise up and look at the next scripture was seven and it

took him by the right hand and lifted him up. He took him by

the right hand and lifted him up. Friends, in our life, you

and I need a disciple because to offer we try so hard to get ourselves

out from the mess, get ourselve. Nio and I need a prayer partner?

Do you and I need a small group? I encourage it. If

you're not part of homes, please join homes. Well, I don't believe

it's small group. I don't believe my leaders. You cannot trust men.

You can trust a lot. Oh, I have a disciple, the rules

you sur Oh I have I have a disciple. You know what all these

YouTube video I watch, all these amazing pastor, they are discipling me.

Friends, and you're going to see this to you, Okay, lay down

straight to your Your famous pastor that you watch on YouTube will not be by

your bedside when you're in the hospital. Your famous preacher that you watch on

YouTube will not be by your bedside when you're crying, when your children not

returning home. It's your local pastor your local leaders here in the church that

will cry with you. They will pick up your phone. Call my charge,

run away. Try calling Bishop d DJs my childe run away. I

need help. I can guarantee your first person you call as past than you

because you know that he's available. He's ready to help. Friends, you

really need someone to decipher us. There's too many while harsk Christians. That

beautiful gallop in the wind, beautiful, but cannot be of any use except

to see running in the fields. And God wants to train us. Peter

and John lift up the person's hands the moment Scripture says, the moment he

extended his hand to Peter and John, he lifted out immediately, Bible says,

his feet, anchor and bones receive strength many times in our journey.

Is it it true where we are today because someone has made an investment in

our life. Where we are today is because someone has made a significant investment

in our life. I'm not talking about just books, you know, I'm

not talking about just YouTube videos or videos or teaching. I'm talking about someone

who actually sat down with us, took us off our coffee and encourage us.

We need that. Friends, your pastor have taken time to maybe some

of your all the investment, but pastorally just a man can trust man.

Could you imagine Peter and John? No, no jacket, look like anyone

look at this layman to see where and go. I do not have,

by the name of Jesus, rise about exting out his hand. Now,

if you were the layman you look at Peter and John, what would you

always wont be money? Also, don't have you want me to reach out

my hand. We can come to two place, friends, either we believe

got all the way or we just believe got halfwayone. No, I'm not

colding your friends. Please please, I sighed, you're okay, but here

just hear my heart out as I couldn't close soon. The lame man was

asking for money instead of healing. Bitter and John was famous really because in

EXCHAPTERO. Ex. Chapter two says that when Peter stood on the stage,

he preached tret got safe. It's almost the the man of the hour.

So if you if you see a Mircat healer walking past you, wouldn't you

ask for healing? Right now? Thinking about it, wouldn't you ask for

healing? You heard about Peter preaching right, wouldn't you ask for healing?

But the layman got to a place where so desupported in life. That's why

you ask for money and something in a mess about disappointment itself, asking what

what we really need? We're also things that you don't really need. I

mean money is imported. Friends, you money for a season can buy your

food, but when you are able to walk, it's a different story.

Altogether, some of us here really need because from too offer, we set

down for too long already, and he needs something to encourage you to stand

up. Let's do things for the Lord. Let's do things for the Lord.

Elder Terrens just retired this year. He came in full time to join

us, and one of the Elder terrants giftings is that he's able. He's

in his career journey, he's able to help us or rather for his education,

like still is helping us with our school, helping us to our school.

And the moment his step foot in to say pastor I now I understood

why that I need to come in immediately. Tremendous blessing. Tremendous blessing.

Friends. Did you know that once you understand why God has caught you,

you know you were able to step foot in into your calling? Is I'm

going to close and challenge your of us? The lame man stood up immediately

feed anchor boles, receive strength. Was it so it was leaping, stood

out, walk and entered the temper with them walking and leaping and praising God.

If you're discipling someone, discipling someone for the church, the examples that

you leave, you're going to impact someone's else's life. The examples that you

leave. Priturn John went to the temper? Why is it so important?

And why is this place called legacy? Me and Passa recognize passes fifty something

and for the ad year, next three years we've been in seventies, threty.

It's amazing journey. Got his brothers, God's brothers, two amazing stories,

an amazing journey. When we were joining that Andrew was part of earlier

pioneers to join US America by fifty join us. But you know, when

we're young, when we were young. When we were small as a church.

All we just remember was this statement, if God say yes, if

God say go, who are we to say no? If God say yes,

I've got say go. Who are we to say? Cannot just arm

with that? Albert was part of the earlier pioneers. We just the word

is that nothing was impossible for us. We knew that our God was with

us. We moved into a very first service in the hotel one day holiday

villa rental eight hunger ring it or six hungering it per weekend, per sunday.

Our money collection was five hunger ring it monthly. I told passa days

passive. We got enough saving for maybe one month. Ninety eight percent campus

student me pass it and Ryan Young young wiki adult pass it. No,

I heard from Lord. Once we reach number, we will go. We

love the place for the very first time. We enter a hall with a

marble floor. Hours was a used cuppard for very first time. We have

toilets that we don't have to wash. We love the place, but pass

We kind of thought this, but say no the Lord to specific we will

go. The very first Sunday, I see my character where we counter the

offering friends. There was a check the KIMMI exact same amount for the renting

for their Sunday. I knew that from the Lord. Really, this is

has to be from the Lord. See, if we don't go, we

will not. My faith grew because Pastor discipled me and I begin to grow.

But it takes the commitment TwixT preach out your hand, lift me up

if regardless of where you are right now. When we were younger, I

remember where we were and no. Pastor Haly shared the story. We just

want to honor past active. When Pastor started the church, his mean or

where the means of of of of sustaining was true speaking engagement, live offering,

and mostly down on Sundays. When God called Passes to start the church,

he told every speaking engagement, I cannot take it up because the church

needs me. I cannot take up any speaking engagement because the church sho me

on Sunday. I speak to you on Friday night Saturday, but not Sunday

and Sunday. You know that preachers by pastors in demand. On his fortieth

birthday, four table day's thirty thirty both day, we just felt we want

to give past the jacket because he was wearing his bending jacket, wedding jacket

for the longest time, one and only jacket, one and only jacket our

church. It was about six fifty something. We just did a collection together

by faith. We raised out about a thousand, two hundred. Back then,

Zarah wasn't wasn't around your Nickela wasn't around all these all these other bigger

brands. So we went. I went there. I went into the discount

section of Hugo Boss, hoping with one thousand, two hundred, I can

buy something for a pastor. I searched and search. It's a fun one

an only piece, not black color, but brow not even I told I

told my leaders is that this is something we're gonna get for a pastor.

He wore it one day for meeting in a business fellowship. He stood up

there. I want to let you know, I'm so proud of my church.

I didn't ask him do the but this jacket. What you see right

now is the generosity of the church coming together dis grow business manner. It's

just honoring always we heard it back then. We are so proud of our

pastor because able to the word, is this that the most sacrifice that a

man has made? No one really truly knows. Because Pastor's not here,

I can share a few most to waver Or if you don't mind this a

few just five more minutes. Our church is going true stignancy, not growing.

When the church is not growing up, we always I did to seek

the Lord asked a lot. The lot one time we real to Pastor is

that I want you to give up your support. We are renting a building

space in Summit level two for ten thousand ring in a month. And there

was a love gift that comes out our church from a businessman about fourteen thousand

helps us to pay the rent and the salary. Do you know that it's

very It's easy to give up support for hungering it, but to give up

fourteen k. Give up fourteen k was one of the toughest things that pass

I had to do. Some of This guy knows just so long, no

passes about twenty old years, so long and pass it. If I wur

tell him do not give He'll be so offended and angry. Papasta say why,

I'll just taken him. We are about six hungred and fifty people back

then stuck. I just couldn't go. We tried so many things all didn't

work. And you know that when things don't work, I got to try

to get all attention right when things even got try to get attention. Pass

it Lato Pasta, give up the support. Pastle wrote the letter, and

the letter was kept for about three to four months because possibility to make sure

friends. It is not hungering. Hungering it slightly easy. Yeah, fourteen

k a rent of ten thousand ring it we will marry big back. Then

a majority campus student, the lords say give it up. The day came

Pastor give this letter and this done. I was so angry. I'm giving

to the chesch and you don't want my money, almost like they got he's

not clean up letter. You understand you to reject someone that you're giving out

from your heart on goodness of how you want to give the pass I don't

want to take. I remember when past give it up. I was like

I was hopping past it. Come money. As they passed it. You

showed up past it. You showed out most. I say we can we

have enough savings up for the last or two months ten thousand ringa rent.

And when we moved into a place some Albert was there when we move out,

moving to our summit, the breakfast, moving submit level two. None

of you with the right frame of mind. We want to use the space

swish. Water was leaking from the ceiling to the floor. We're moving there.

We don't have enough money to change the coppers. We just say we'll

just clean the cuppers. Why was staying you see on the floor. Don't

look at the floor. Look to Jesus. That's it. We didn't money

to do whiring, nothing at all. We just have my money to moving

there, to buy chairs, even chairs. We will try to raise our

money. Sixty ring gip a chair. That's it sounds still where it's basically

give out the money. I remember that that very Sunday, one young working

adult road a check I've never seen before for sixteen K I say, why

do you give this check? No? One s about twenty plus? See

why do you give this amount? I just got my bonus. I just

felt a lot asking me to give this. Friends. It's not about the

money, friends, because if we're some way to make money's not about the

money for us. It's a journey of faith. We recognize then I'll begin

to grow. We recognize the moment reduce our dependency on takes and begin to

trust a lot. As a church, we preach about faith, but if

our church don't depend on God for faith. And that's why this place is

called legacy, because like the Bible says, the lame man got up when

the temper praising and worshiping the Lord first. At the end of the day,

this is my summary that must we are discipled, were descipled, You're

helping people to look to God for an answer for break true. We're teaching

people that God is the only one who can come true for you. And

when we started this place called legacy, at the end of the day,

we just wanted to leave a legacy behind, not so much for sad,

but the concept and the understanding of what God has brought us true the faith

journey. Our church has always started by faith because no millionaires now Milian not.

Our church is hungry percent made in Malaysia, not a bold name from

the West or from the East. We just say that if God can you

just look at our hands and just say, why can't Malaysia be a mission

standing force? Why can't Why why All the time they spoke of missionaries,

it is always from the west. Why not Asian Malaysia, Why not Malaysia?

The words why not Malaysian? Why not Malaysians? Malaysians be a mission

standing force in regardless of where we are with a season of life. Why

can't earth here my heart cry here? Friends, until unless we believe God

has caught us. Until unless we believe God, say God, here I

am, we will never see it come to pass. As I close right

now, I pray first of all, you go, please don't remain stack,

Please don't remain that all. My faith is just enough for me to

survive. Example, Friends, your faith is bigger than the car part that

you're praying for every time you go to the shopping mall. Your faith is

bigger than the sale you will be asking for. God. You know one

time a preacher convicted our hearts. Why do Christians always pray for discount?

Why can Christian ask God for to increase a faith to believe that you can

afford it? You're like we are, because that's why we boys discount serve

hey be better serve the minimum LA so we understand some of your part of

our church earlier? Why is it always be pay for discount? Do you

know where I used to run a cafe for church still but a ladys We

run a cafe of the bookshop. The amount of Christian that comes to our

shop. Hey, new Christian discount. If you're the business owner, friends,

could you imagine people come up with you, Hey, a new Christian

discount. You'll be on the other side, say God, I pray the

every Christian walking say, I'll think I'll take the market price. Gold.

Friends, go your faith requires it gold. Friends. Don't remember your goal,

but say go and make friends. Don't go alone. Don't go alone.

Coming to church O Sunday is good. But coming for a prayer service

shows that you believe or when you can. Friends, I'm not undersaid.

Traffic here coming this call this the other side, right? I know the

outside here is traffic jam. Okay, that's side there. Sometimes it's greener

on the other side. I know he's Jem, But when you can when

Tuesday is the off day, But how do you don't understand My favorite current

drama happens on the Tuesday at eight pm. If I don't watch it,

I will not watch him being Jong being the actor. I was with my

wife. I say, all the girls one watched from me, just come

to I'm guys, and the amount of respect I get from the girls and

ch the please lout. The only thing they look alike is that they got

years and hair. Need sit nowhere near any current active. But I'm trying

to hear, believe. I'm I got side track, side track, believe,

make disciple. Finally, discipleship is a key. As I close right

now, friends, I know I say a lot today, but I pray

you cash my heartbeat. It takes a person to be discipled. It takes

a person say Lord here, I am. I want to be discipled.

It's very hard descend with anybody else, even incorporate. You understand you have

to go to training from one level to another level. Why not for the

things of the Lord. It's not enough just to have the Bible. I

believe for my own self, but God, whatever I have right now,

like the lay men here, I am. We hope you've been blessed by

this message. For more information on our church, please visit acts Church the

RG. We are also active on Facebook and Instagram. We're believing that this

week is going to be a good week, a hit for you. God bless
