Revival: Half Time | Eld Kien Yiak

You're listening to a message to go from ex Church.

We hope this message will light up your day.

Don't speak about revival halftime really were halftime right now

in the season of revival for the church, we have

taking stock and no, it's good to take stock. Yes,

say at the leaders meeting. Leaders Meeting, we went to

the homes rather not just homes church attendance.

And sometimes you don't know.

For example, you've been example for some time already and

maybe you're to ex churches this week. Maybe right, But

when we went through the figures, we want to encourage

the leaders. Just want to let you all know the

average per weekend, per month, per weekend, we have about

thousand and thirteen people coming to church and playing valley

for ex Church. And last this year we ran Easter

Sunday and go Friday services on your own. And because

of every church might have reasoned up to decide to

do church, it's the Sunday and good Friday services on

the old we saw trial salvation and twenty plus re edication.

And because we took stock, friends, it's very important for

us to think so because we're all celebratings all of

these things that we go at.

Okailers a daily grind again next Sunday.

Who's worship leading, who's charing, who's doing, who's whose hosting,

and this stuff like that. Every forget that God does

prepare celebration point for us. So I want you to

just think about what has your highlight been this year

so far? What has your highlight been so far? What's

your low point?

Next night? Yeah, what's a low point? Really?

Because six months of Arima, it can't be just the highlight. Elder,

my heart is that I wanted to take on sale.

It went on sale, right. It has been more than

their friends. So what's the low point in your life? Well,

the low point I think this year for me was

driving a car up the clutter and got started in

the middle of nowhere, really in the in between uh

Suth and quarter Baro.

It's in the middle of nowhere.

And that was that was the challenge I had, and

just being the word is in a place you're by,

you can't do anything, even even we've called for help.

All your friends are in flank rally. Uh, I'll be

there in seven hours. Okay, you wait for me. Could

you magic call it? Your friends will help and we

couldn't have any friends to quarter Barou yet, so we

couldn't call people from Quarter Barous. So in the middle

of nowhere, even you call a to truck, right, you're like,

I'll be there maybe.

But jamp for hours.

It's it's it's just crazy and being in a place

you're by, even money can't solve the problem. It is

in a place of desperation. But then I also learned

the highlight or sic from the trip that God reminded us.

All right, God reminded us that God did not bring

you all the way out here to fail you. God

did not bring you all the way to these journeys

in a month of June right now to see you fail,

to discourage you. It brought you here to remind you

that I'm still here with you in this whole journey

of life. So when you saw a giant, when you

when giants come in your life, friends, when giant comes

to your life, what's your first reaction you The word

is walk towards it, or you walk away from it.

I don't use to work run because run something is

very presumptuous that, oh, you run towards the giant. Giant,

run towards it no friends, majority of obviously walk casually, slowly, cautiously,

But you're walking towards the giant. But when you when

you see a giant, you walk away from it. Because

sometimes in life frinds. When you hear a problem, or

when you know that somebody wants to see you and

meet with you, the first reaction go you again, huh

talking to you woul drain me talking to you. By

time I finish talk, approtect for lunch, and I protect

for dinner. So I go back home and sleep because

you know the conversation you're.

Going to have ready.

But there are days whereby things that happened management happens

in your lives. Company management happens in your life.

Call you in.

You can imagine what they're going to talk about, and

it drains you.

Last night, when the.

Thing leaked, the center management office just say that, hey,

the problem is rectified already. The lik stop. Me and

elder Terrances took each other. Yes we know, we acknowledge

the lik stop, but our place is still flooded the

link stop. Yes, and that really our hearts.

Was just boiling, boiling only because that.

If you could only imagine the mouth water we scoop

up the furniture that we have to wipe down right

and stuff like that. Some documents were destroyed, so we

say that God, you're so good, you spare all the computers.

So some stuff came back to help yesterday. I say

that you guys have would be praying enough. You'll pray

for lest book. And you did not put your computer

directly below the link. If only if you knew there

was legal and you put.

Their friends, then oh the work tomorrow by can the

computer's boy. So you see a j wats your reaction.

I think it's good for us really to take stock

and let's learn from the lesson from the parer. Let's

learn from the parable of the Ten visions A right

so met Chapter twenty five, verse ten. I'm reading from

the amplified version. Amplified version, so it might be a

bit long. The Kingdom of Heaven is like the Ten

were just who took their lambs and ran to meet

the bright group. So life friends is a journey, not

just the destination I got to meet with you. It's

very important for us to know that what to bring

for the trip. Very important for us to know what

to bring for the trip. The Bible here says that

the ten we just took lamb. The question is this

that what have you been carrying for our trip of life?

What have you been carrying on the daily basis?

Do you know?

Sometimes in life with you, when you just rush out

to meet a person, you can forget some things on

For example, I think in our life we have forgotten

our house key before. I think at least everyone I

forgot the house ski before. Now some time we forget

our wallet or maybe a handful. I make so many

utans before just to take my handful right. And in life,

when we exit a room, what do you normally exit

with a half and puff? Meaning you see that just

rush to because of your appointment. Some I see people

just really packing their backs to a white jam, to

a white the traffic jam. They say that can we

leave right now? I gotta rush and normala right, and

we just put everything, swip everything on the table into

our bag and just rush out to catch the.

Our car.

Only this girl that we left certain things back and

at ten pm, my wife hates it. I say here,

I gotta go back to the office. I left my

I pat there.

You can take pat tomorrow?

Yeah, can but right now, I've got nothing to do,

whether than I pad. Sometimes in life it happens because

you rush, shoot things friends.

So the time we just took the lambs. So what

have you been taking? Friends? I'm pretty sure take passes

to the airport.

Every time passa gets into the car and they're traveling overseas,

before I press accelerator, she will, he will look at past.

I asked this question, dear, do you take your passport?

It happened before. By I drove past the third house.

The third house passed us, dear, do you take your passport?

She actually forgotten before happened once a nay, once of

this whole so many years of taking them the airport

happened before. It's not Come on, if you knew you

were traveling, don't. I mean, none of us. You forget,

And sometimes friends maybe forget some things like these friends

I've seen before Christian, whereby we forget prepared for the

day we think it's okay. I'll make friends with the

immigration officer. I'll make friends to the people, and to

go with the flow, a big fresh immigration officer, maybe

the leve in. There after, I got my my digital

my on my on my phone right and sometimes friends,

I'm wanna let you to you to know that in

life it doesn't happen that way. The five of them

were foolish. They were foolish, is toddless, silly or callous?

And five they were why it's fast, sighted, practical and sensible.

For when the foolish took their lambs, they did not

take extra oil with them, but the wise took the

flasks of oil along with the lambs.

It was five now the break room was delayed. The

bragger was delayed.

Friends, in life, they will be delayed, they will be

there will be delays, and delay is.

Not the problem. They all begin to not off and

fell asleep.

But at midnight there was a shout, look the brigger

is coming, go out and to meet him.

When all those were.

Just got up put on their lambs in order trip

the weeks that add oil and lid them. But the

foolish way just say to the wise, give some of

your oil, because our lambs are going out. I stopped

at worse it because I wanted you to know that

a lot of people will upret the or words it

meaning to say that have compassion. Sometimes all about compassion. Friends,

Some of the Lord will bring us to a place

to remind us friends, to remind you and me how

important life is. To remind us friends, really about being

prepared for the day.

So the first point I want to.

Use to remember is that during the halftime we need

to reflect or meditate.

We need to reflect or meditate.

Worst I says that the wise, uhorry, let me just

go the next side. Life is a journey in our destination.

So for us to reflect and to meditate, we need

to post the pauseful moment. We rush through everything in

our life, and friends, we do. We rush through things.

Mainly say that when you wake up in the morning,

we rush to just get to work.

We do.

Everything is quick, everything is fast. That's the way of life, right.

But as we rush through things, friends, have you ever

thought about how have we been walking towards a destination?

I wanted to think about how have we been walking

towards a destination?

Because the.

Five wives, the five foolish, brought oil. I mean, we

bring things in our life. One the question here is

this that what are we bringing on this journey?

If we knew it was tresh, you throw it away?

Correct not?

Sometimes we forget street report in our in the clothing

that we wash.

We throw things away. Uh, but if you knew it

was chessh, you trade away.

But some times discouragement is packaging so nicely we take

it along. Sometimes herd can be packaged so nicely we

carry it along with us.

It's not that we want to.

I say again, if you knew you were discouragement, you

wouldn't want to carry it.

If you knew it was hurt, we won't take it

along with us. But why do we take it long?

Because some things are so packaged so nicely that unknowingly

we are still carrying it Because I say, if you

knew it was trash, come on, South, was here got

bruise tissue in our handbags? One we do, it happens,

It happens. But if we knew it was trashed, you

trade away. But maybe, and maybe because it was packaged

so nicely. I had a chat with a friend Fred,

and he likes a particular girl and this girl sort

of sort off so sort of like so maybe fifty

to fifty or fifty to fifteen, fifty to fifty, fifty

to fifty, I say, maybe it could be a yes,

it could be a nose. So she's on the fence anyway,

so she read on the chip. She gave him something

like like a just like a like a cookie, like

a cookie in a rapper cookie right, rapper nicely And

do you know he has not open idiot, I don't

know how long it is until he has not opened.

To eat it yet.

I say, whether why are you waiting? Just eat la

the one? Because it was given by her.

It was given. That's why I say that.

Sometimes it's not that you don't want to let go

discouragement or her, because who is it from?

We're keeping sing? So when I asked when I was

talking to her, actually not him.

But so you know, how can we don't eat it?

Don't no give it to him? I ask him to

eat it, go expirate it. And you know, have we

some once? No, he sent me the photograph. It's still here.

I mean we've been.

I mean, like, I don't know.

I don't say that if someone give me things I

was opening. Right, if you're in love, I guess you're

in love. I guess I guess it's in love, right

the person who gives you that.

Right.

But it's very interesting to find. It's very interesting to

find we we carry stuff with us, right, it's I

guess it's don't eat it because it's herla. They give

the giftler and sometimes we be hold on to discursion.

Maybe anger's because it's the ties to the other person.

So how we be walking to this journey, on this journey,

So on this trip into chapter three? What was required

to meet the b group? Lemb and oil?

Come on, lemon oil not just oil, friends, extra oil.

A lot of times were operating we just to need

lemon or lemon or lemon oi.

But the Bible is encouraging you and me today that

do not just go out with just lemon oil, but

extra oil.

Far too long. Friends, if you just be operating with.

This lemon or just sufficient, just enough, the bare minimum, ah,

God will now will not work this way. He will

not come at the midnight one. Friends come in the daytime, right,

And that's the reason why. Maybe and perhaps they did

not bring the extra oil. I don't know, I'm just

guessing only why did not bring It's funny when you

go on the trip when everyone is prepared for something

you're not. Everybody's prepared for when you bring the winter cold,

don't you know we're a green side baby. I mean

you go on the trip and people are prepared. No,

I can handcol I can take cold. I can take cold.

And that's why I did when I went, you can

get away, I told my wife, Okay, I love cold.

I can take cold. Until they brought us a place

by there was really cold. Thank God for reject rejecttion.

We can bite towing on the cheaper, cheaper tay right,

But friends, sometimes in life we just presumed that it's

okay on it's sufficient, like this coming to church is enough?

Is enough? Right? It's enough. We heard from.

The leaders meeting yesterday that are there are people that

just survive on one worse a day, but one worse

a day from the Bible, app's.

Are those how day shall see God?

I think there was I did yesterday or today, and

just one was I read my Bible.

Now, I'm not knocking anybody down for I don't.

Want to pay this picture to you, but first I

want you to measure right now, it's one worse a

day enough.

For your spiritual life or for your spiritual growth.

It's one most enough for to help you to make

live making decisions.

Right.

I sat down with asking about camp talk to a

person here, and a person say, I'm not sure whether

to stay in sing about the work or go back

to Malaysia the world. I say, why have God's been

speaking to you so I'm not sure? I wanted to

ask a person house the quiet time? House your quiet time?

Because God, that's piage, because many times we just assume that, Oh,

God give me the peace.

Correct, God, just give you the peace.

But the piece must come from somewhere, not just like

I just felt God's peace because I saw everything spron

there and many times in our life, I I'm so sorry.

I sat up with some MALMANI Christion. This is the

person I want to marry. I say why because I

pray and the Bible said the job lost my strength

and name is joy. I mean it happened before first.

I'm not knocking anyway out. Maybe that's your journey. But

if we have to grow out from me because you

cannot make live making decisions.

Just go by.

It's like I came to church and I saw the

worship song give me confirmation, yes, correct, but the confirmation

must come from somewhere. You've been spending time. God, You'll

be speaking to you consistently about it right now, if

the five virgin were to slow down correct, want you

imagine right now? If the five virgin were to slowly

ask himself, why did the others bring extra?

Or perhaps they will be prepared for the extra?

If the five wig with the slow down really and

they're going on the journey, maybe that come on, nobody

goes on the journey? Ten ladies God, or keep quiet

on ten ladies God the junior. And now that we're

talking to each other, I'm sure that we're having a

conversation in axing all. So the guys, we had the

guys session and the girl session, so we are supposed

to feel the question The guys feel the questionnaire, the

girls feel a questionnaire. It was very very was very

interesting because the guy in the guy's X men session, Uh,

we were revealed the answer by some of the girls.

What do the ladies look for in a man?

Right? Well, very spiritual? Answer lead me spiritual leadership.

Leadership looks a zero or one person answer looks only

one guy in nextiting a box that bly this one

fla father finance only one person say, importance of finance?

Or what does woman looking in the guy finance? Only

one person answer? It's important the person say this is

all is a bunch of liars, no money, want to

get married to ursa. But anyway, I'm sharing this real

because friends, friends, isn't it true if you just slow

down ourself really really like, why why are you carrying it?

Why are you.

Carrying the extra oil? And maybe perhaps we can understand

how did the person go to life because we can

say again, we can exit a roomor with a rush,

or we can exit a room by slowing down and say,

let me look at my table one more time, one

more time and see what did I miss out?

I guess when.

As as one thing I discover about aging is this

that it's very hard to differentiate between the ships of

black everything. When I'm younger, we want a mono monocoume

color black. Everything is black black back inside the instances

of black after the world first, I can't find my

cor keys, I can't find my handphone because everything is

all one color. When you're younger, you can see the ship.

I tell my wife, is I want to get a

luminous yellow for.

My handphone color? Because if I put in.

My back of red, everything is black, I can see

a color inside.

If we were to slow down and ask why are

you bringing?

Maybe and perhaps we can overcome certain things in life.

How do you overcome the anger? How do you manage

a church? Have you ever stop us?

Selena? The selena? Actually?

How you manage exam bummer? I don't think I can

survive after one month.

It's not so much that she'd give you spooture.

Juggans, it's just so much. Is just point you this

her experience.

If the five fully should ask the vice, why do

you bet extray?

Say just in case he's lip and sometimes he will

come when he wants to come.

Don't you think you need to have extra oil?

So it's not asking about it's not asking the world

or the surrounding to slow down. Many Christians, if only

everything else is to slow down, If only that giants

will come in a single foul, Right, giants come in

a single foul.

Let me take it one first and the other one

you come.

It's like telling the Lisa in your house you come

in a single fowl. Okay, you come one time? Okay,

there you tell you all your relatives. I think you

exit the housey then or the other will come. Have

you seen ends in your house? Very suddenly you see

one random and somewhere one friends. You see a bunch

of them and another bunch of them.

It's not like telling the ends to slow down. Okay,

you said.

Only one of you can ender my house, all right,

one versus the entry only. Okay, you wait, all right,

this is correct time. Okay, you wait outside the lines there.

So first, it's not asking the world, just trying to

slow down, but we are. We need to take time

and stow down with the Lord. We need and to

slow down to be with at You know, when the

disciples got into the boat to get on the other side,

there were there was a storm.

There was a storm.

They're all panicked, and suddenly they remember that Jesus was

in the boat. If they're taken dime, taking time really

to slow down. I know there's a storm right now,

but God is still in the boat. Maybe and perhaps

it won't panic so much, because our first reaction is

to panic, to get angry, to get bitter, to get

even so inconvenient.

It happened right certain convenia.

I'm so tired, ready, Lord, how morning got sought after

they got shepherd's meeting, nighttime got this leak. But that

you get home it's ten pm. Ready, and next they

have to preach.

You know what I mean.

You can get angry when first you can, but you

shouldn't allow the anger to hijack your destination.

Joshu One was saying.

It says that this book of lost shall you part

from your mouth, but your medit shall read and meditate

on the day and night, so that you may be

careful to do what to do everything in according to

what is written, that you make your way prosperous and

your finder success. First, you need to take time to

meditate and to meditate. First, you need to slow down.

You need to slow down. I think we are meditating

on the wrong things. We are meditating on the bitterness,

the disappointment, the anger, there a few promises, the loss

of someone in your life. You are meditating a lot

on it until we couldn't let it go. The Bible

here is reminding us, Hey, I know that we are

very good meditation friends.

You have very good meditating. Very good.

Someone says something you now deliver meditate on this person,

promise to pay me back after lunch one day.

It is I got a sad reminder right.

Your meditating on it, meditating on it, but God said, hey,

hang on, I know you're so good. Try meditating on

my word. Mantu Chapter six, verse six reminders that when

you pray, going to your most private room and close

the door and pray to your father who sees secret,

and your father, who sees you what is done in secret,

will reward you.

To meditate.

Friends, you need to have the word, and you need

to have a private room.

You need to you need to have a space. Just

slow down.

That's why it's called quiet time in the morning. When

nothing there's no distractions at all that take place.

In your life.

Friends, the moment you break up, it's something really a

lot of distraction messages and this stuff like that.

It's important for us to hear.

The voice of the Lord, to at least recognize his

voice is prompting. Let me share this story with you, expertacy.

I came from the mission tary for expertacy. Uh. There

was a train accident expctacy major train accident. The train

the passenger train or stuck on the railway track for

one hour. The first carriage and the last carriage were

designated for females only. Then another train, huge train that

was carrying goods came and hit.

The last carriage.

Fifteen ladies died and a lot of a lot of

ladies were in the hospital. The last carriage. They were

on the tracks one hour. I'm like, what were they

doing for one hour on the tracks? I say, didn't

there were no sickness. They tell the train to slow down.

So yeah, that thing wasn't working since the start of

time PASTA frant's daughter was supposed to be on the

last car supposed to be because she commutes to work

every day three hours, three hours one direction, three hours

to work, three hours back, so stas six hours already.

So she normally comes back around nine pm at night,

nine ninety at night, and that was a station that

when the accident took place, there was a station ship

was supposed to get off, so that very evening she

was on the same train that stopped halfway because that

train got involved in an earlier accident first.

Half way through the journey.

She just felt the voice speaking to her get off

one station earlier.

She heard the wars, She didn't think too much about it.

She ignore it because why one station earlier, Why one

station earlier? This is not the station I want to

In fact, if I asked my brother.

To pick me up.

It'd be very inconvenient for him. So she didn't think

too much about it. But the voice became louder. Get

off one station earlier. She got off one station earlier,

went back home. At twelve midnight, loads of phone calls came.

She woked up. She looked at it, and you're okay?

She thought? What happened?

She called her friend. Didn't you read the news? The

train you're on had a accident. She broke down and cried,

only because she knew that she was supposed to be

on the last carriage, and she knew that God spent

her life.

See if you will take the slow down and to really.

To think about it, friends, God will not bring you

to a place to fail you, to let you die,

or let you sit on your own.

So too many tate friends. You need to have the.

Words, at least, she recognized God's voice. You need to

have a prior room. That means away from distraction. And

sometimes we need to because distraction will influence you the

way you read the Bible. Sometimes when you're angry you

look for scripture. You won't get even one. When you're angry,

you look for scripture one, get even one. You're you're

the hit, not the Bibles have the hitter?

Are you right? And if everybody wants to be the hint?

That how if everybody clips to be corrected, who's wrong?

Then I'm not talking about or wrong.

But you spend time with the Lord Lord, we review

things in your heart. But the challenge here is is

that we don't spend enough time. And that's why we

operate with one scripture from the Bible. App that's they

shall see the Lord right. And we think that we

just make the whole theology up of men. Point number two.

She is these friends we need, we need realignment. Media

twenty five Verse two reminds us are five.

Of them were foolish? Five they were wise?

But the foolish would you say to the wise, give

us some of your oief?

Because our lamb has gone out.

Realignment requires our mind to be renewed, because the foolish

in the amplified Bible says that they were toddless.

Silly, and careless.

So therefore, friends, if you're I mean not everyone is smarter.

I'm not one of them.

I mean some of you are pretty brilliant straight as

I'm a straight, just passing mark student. Very consistent in

my entire life. It's okay, but so not always. Not

always are smart, right, some are very strict smart you

know what to do, but I think there was a

feeling away our journey around. It's fine, but the problem

here is that we don't learn from our mistakes. We

do not learn from our mistakes.

Right, if you keep eating from the same store that costs.

You diarrhea, right, that's very seap silly. I mean, you

got people say I love I love carry, I love carry.

See keep eat, keep it, keep off.

The moment you taste the carry, you rush the toilet

after that because something about it that causes you to

have diary. Not used to the cuisine at all. But

there are people who are lectos to keep drinking milk

because they love the taste. Okay, I will drink the milk.

About rush the toilet after that. I'm not sure whether

there's silly or there's the mind being renewed, because are

sometimes that. Sometimes it's not wise to have mill just

before you brought the plane because the plan toilets are

not very nice for you to let go everything. But

it happens because our mind is not renewed. Could you

imagine what happens if your mind is renewed? So Romans,

the trouble still reminds us again, do not be confirmed

with this world any longer. Do the superficial values are

custom that's the world, the customer and the values.

But be transformed progressively.

Change, which means to say that as you mature spiritually

by the renewing of your mind, focusing on godly values

and ethical attitudes, focusing on godly values.

So ef, the five foolition.

Were just to pause a woman, Hey, hang on, there

must be a reason.

Now, you can't say.

That the five boys just do extra for extra sake.

If one out of ten, maybe it's a random thing.

This fifty percent of ten.

They missed.

That was there must be a reason why they brought extra.

So if our minds you knew and not so be judgmental,

and then what happens is that maybe that's the reason

why they brought extra. But if you always see how

a different lens, this person always make life very difficult,

one always make likee very difficult, then you miss the

opportunity of learning opportunity the already.

Because sometimes in life, friends, it is so.

I'll say, you're so influenced by what we feel, what

we ran through in life. If I say the word

local council submission of plans, say take with.

You, go and fro, go to and fro.

I thought I had it back until Paul from Excyberg

share with me. His dad went to went to an office.

I think, yeah, he's from India. He went to the

office to apply for his visa for his wife, said

my elder. My dad went to the office seventy times.

Seventy times. I'm not sure, but I'm not sure. He

say he went seventy times to process his wife visa,

and every.

Time there's a new requirement that comes up.

One So the moment I say a local council, God,

please can someone help me out here, because if mine

is not renew the moment, let's say for a summer,

I think, go to homes.

You're so bory.

I don't know what triggers that emotion. But if mine's not,

we knew that's what happens. But the Bible here says better.

Sixth the Trees says, sicky for the Kingdom of God,

seeking for the Kingdom of God, sigging for the king

of God, and all this thing.

Is shall be given to you.

The fire fully users were looking forward while not fully

excited about meeting the bright room. You could be looking

forward things in life but not fully excited. I'm looking

forward but not fully excited. It's like Kenna can cannon.

Then maybe it's a killer. We can go to a

life like that. One friend, I don't want us to

miss up because if our mine is not renewed, we

can end the chapter of our life just just having

a good Christian life.

Is it wrong? Not really wrong? No, it's not wrong.

It's not wrong. Have a good Christian life, not wrong.

But we miss out on the purpose why God give

us life in the first place. There has to be

more in life and just coming to church. It's true,

there has to be more life just going to work.

We all understand that. And these people are looking for

signif looking for meaning even in church. People are looking

for meaning just besid coming to church because if our

mine is not renew then you're got like maybe this

is and we run after one one event after another event.

There has to be more. Finally, is this a reapplication?

I will close.

Even after you reknew on mine. Friends, that's that's the

first step. But you have to reapply. You know how

hard is to reapply stuff. It's so hard as really,

when you've got a cut wound. I know how to

I know how to do it. You banish one time,

you refuse to banish again because you understand how healing works.

Reapplication as well the hardest, because I've been there before.

I've done that before, I experienced it before, so therefore

I know.

But the problem here is is that we never learned

from some of our things. Even as I close. Reapplication

is very important, friends, because as as the Bible says

right in Relations Chapter two, wards four, I only this

one charge against you, that you have left your first love.

You have lost the depth of love that you first

had for me.

Friends, Your application is not about the step start about

just having a quiet time.

Friends.

By quiet time, reading God's word is a byproduct of

your first love. The reapplication is not about step one,

step two, step three, step four, step five, step six.

It's about coming back to the first love, the love

of your heart. Our God loves to be first. It

sounds simple, but many of us forget to put in first.

It's true, he's not he's not he's not down on friends,

but he has to be the big number number one,

because if you love, got less serve friends, then everything

else will be a priority after that. So God loved

to be first because if he's first, you put him

first in your day, You spend time with him, You

put first your marriage.

Your marriag should be okay. You have to learn to

put him first. The problem is that he's number two,

number three.

He's not the last, he's not out of your account,

but it's not the most important. The problem begins if

something somewhat or something else other than God takes the

top spot of our life reapplications putting God first. God

commands to put him first because it's.

For our own good.

God commands us to put him first for our own good,

not because he got ego trip up there. It's for

when you put him first. Some Chapter one says that

meditated on this word there and night. Then you should

be should be strong like the cedar of Lebanon. Your food,

you should barefoot in season, your should.

Not be dry. All those friends is for you.

God doesn't need the tree, He doesn't need fruits up

in heaven to eat.

It's fruits for you to enjoy, for your family around

you to enjoy.

So God commands us to put him first for own good.

As I close, friends, we shouldn't let others become first.

We shouldn't others become first. Easy to say, how to

do easy to say. How to do?

God is to be our first first focus attention. We

don't leave. We don't leave him no matter what others

have done to us.

As I close, we don't leave him because no matter

what others have done to us. Met a lot of

people that left the Lord because what other people have

done to them. They don't just leave the chest, Fred

leave the faith because of disappointment, words taken for granted,

different things, rents, not nobody wanted it. But things do happen,

even even for us the things that happened. So don't

leave God because what other people have done to you. Reapplications.

I'm not here to real tell you to fix your

quiet time and stuff like those are important, but let's

fix our first live really, because once you get the

correct friends, you fix your quiet time, but.

You fix your the Bible reading. You're fixing priorities in

your life.

But last light is this that let's leave behind all

the sadness, bitterness and unforgiveness others have cost. It's a choice, threads.

It is a choice that you have to make, the sadness,

bitterness and unforgiveness because like saying, if you knew what

sadness are, you would eat it. Oh Halliday, I was

creating for somesetness for some time already. Bitterness, O you

a look bit of God, Hallelujah, thank you Jesus.

I mean, if we knew it was bad, you wouldn't

because we didn't know what selved to us. We actually

took it.

And whatever you think in your body influences you, and

the Bible reminds us the less and forgiveness go.

The joy allows us trying.

So we need to come to place for a choice

to live sadness and bitterness and forgiveness that others have cost, others,

unforgiveness that doesn't just happen by itself, others have costs.

And follow him in steate. Either God is first or

he's not. Either God is first or he's not. Either

way of foods you show as I close friends and

just want to remind us it's halftime right now, let's

stick stock. It's halftime right now. Let's remember it's halftime

right now. Let's realign it's halftime right now. Let's evaluate.

Let's say God, I want to remember to put you

first for the next six months of this year, for

the sake of my future, for our family, for my destiny.
