Unpacking the Vision of Acts Church Session 3 | Elder Kien Yiak

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

We hope this message will light up your day.

Session three.

I have to confess right now, confess that the first

time I spoke at x MPUM using this booklet, I

was a bit not confused. I've also been challenge trying

to manage the booklet and the slides, right, you understand, right,

so we couldn't follow the slides because the booklet and

the slides are a bit different. Right, So therefore therefore, okay,

the slides are up there.

Just let you know. There will be slides on the screen.

You can refer to it.

The words that is in red color is the answer

I will give you at the answer hit of time. Okay,

the words in red is the answer to the booklet. Okay,

just just in case you talk like what answer should

I feel up for the booklet? Okay, I failed to

explain this the last time, and you guys was like

looking and looking, and I think I spoke at x

Neili just before the Christmas Sunday. Uh, we took a

time off from going to the booklet. But they were

all so good. They all brought the book clut as

I was preaching. They took the book clout searching for

the passage I was referring to until I have to

tell them, so sorry, today we are not referring to

the booklet. They were disappointed, right, So today we're going

to go to a part tree, all right, Part three,

page twenty one, Part three, page twenty one. Right you

guys there, Okay, here we go. We want to talk

about preparation. Very important. Okay, preparation. You know in life,

it's all about preparation. Married a couple of sticks about

what nine months to ten months a year to prepare

for the wedding day. So last night, uh, we had

the bachelor's thing for Keytong that's coming, it's gonna get married,

kitto and uh and it was very different, very different,

uh because the people who came for the bachelor's night

are all forty in the birth.

So the energy that were very different.

Okay, right, no more of this, you know, asking people

to do funny stuff, challenging stuff. Right, We just mac

and we just ate in a very high class type

place right the desert. I will let you know, Okay,

I got shot at the desert. Prices great ruby, So

you know what y ruby is is thirty eight thirty

after renovation. The price was shut up. We're like, no,

we kind offorded, We'll go next door, which is the

ice cream for ten weeper scoop. That's how, that's how

stingybi were all right anyway, but we were talking to

Kito and this stuff like that, right, so we're asking

we were asking him, so have you prepared?

Have you prepared to move in to Yelling's place? Right?

He said, I've started packing.

Already, and and uh found out that he he's just

sharing us. You know that you know that her future wife,

his future wife place is small. He thought about a thousand,

four hundred square fet all of a sudden, No, it's smaller, right,

it's about thousands square feet. And he said that elders

and passers and eldest majority of passes the elders exceptfor

mention where that he's just explaining this that although a

thousands craft, he said, there is no more room for

my things, for my things to come in. You imagine

right now you're about to move, you're gonna get married

about move the place or did they find out the

place you want moving to? There's normal space because occupied

by the fiance's stuff.

Every room has stuff. Right. The fridge okay, hopefully yelling,

don cue me for saying this, but the fridge has

stuff that was doing experiments since two thousand and fifteen,

and it means expired in twenty fifteen. To the fish, right,

it's the freezer is still okay, right, So you can

imagine right now, without preparation, come on, without preparation in life,

you we will just keep on putting things into our

stories of our life without preparation, without going to what

we have, it's just oh God, space canna. So that's

why preparation is very important for the journey of Hit

in life, isn't it true? We need to be prepared

for the journey of Hit. So we went for the wedding.

You need to be prepared, right, and this stuff like that.

So so in twenty three one, Prophocide was a vision.

Proposide was a vision.

We want to prepare the whole church not just to

have the form of godliness, but also have the power

living within that.

What do I mean by that? You know?

In the Bible, in execute Tty seven, the Lord God

brought Execuel to a landfall of dry boats. Dry boats

He placed execue in a place where it's of dry bones.

He just asked Ezekiel a question, Can this dry bones live?

Might you imagine that? All? Right?

Can this dry bones leave? Can can this dryness life

come out from dryness?

Not? Can these circumstances be turned around? Not? Can this

be change?

And Ezekiel, the wisdom of the Lord was with him

like a typical answer that every human being can. Lord,

only you know when someone asked you a question, that

you know the answer reader right, So he replied, God,

only you know. And this is what the Lord God

told execure to do. Now, propheside to the dry bones

and say to the dry bones you shall leave. Say

to the dry bones you shall leave. Execue to this cell.

Reminds again the importance of prophesying, declaring the word of

the Lord into our situation. We want the whole church

as a reminder right now, from your twenty twenty one

onwards to learn how to in white God's presence.

Into your circumstances, come on.

Into your valley, into the dryness, into the tough situation,

to be able to show God's power at work. That's

why in Daniel Chapter two, words twenty seven to twenty

eight says Daniel answered in the presence of the king,

and said the secret which the king has demanded. The

wise man, astrologists, the magicians south slayer cannot declare to

the king. But there is a god in heaven who

reveals secrets, and he has made known to King Nebun

what will be the latter days. Here is a situation

whereby the magician, everyone who claimed to be expert in

understand of dreams couldn't give a king the answer. But

Daniel understood the assignment. So therefore, friends, then you had

to tell the dream, what the dream was, and the

interpretation of the dream. You can only do these, friends,

You can only do this when the power of God's

in your life, when the Holy Spirit fused your heart up.

Because a lot of times and a lot of people

returned to human answer not wrong, but there is no answer.

So at my office right we have stuff devotion, stuff devotion.

So we bring people to like a like a book

of numbers, book of exoders and stuff like that. So

I book people into teams. You know, Google falls, Groogle

falls to prepare for the devotion. What every team he's

supposed to do is look to the passage. Ask God

for revelation and insight into the scripture and how to

apply into our life, simple as simon right. But however

instead of asking the Holy Spirit with something, it takes.

A bit longer. Come on, a lot of my colleagues

to chet.

GPT, turn to check GIPT, explain numbers thirty four. Very

good friends, I want to let you know, right, it

was so well writurned like a TCIs like that. But

when people stood begin to read what was guilt to

them by the computer first, there is no power if

you understand what trying to say, it became like a chore.

It became like a this is a to do list, right,

And that's why God wants us to know how to

tap in in like they you'll know how to tap in,

not just look at the books that was written by

men alone, but know how to tap into.

The power of God.

That's why God wants to remind the church that from

this year of words, it's a year of power. Friends,

It's a year of miraculous greater who who's here, who's

in you?

That He is of the world.

Sometimes at at situation we tend to forget what we have. Friends,

have you ever been there before. When your pressure we

forget the keys are in our back. We keep going

back to the house whereas the keys somebody has got

a wife, where you keep my keys or these couvels.

In your back and stuff like that.

It happens because the pressure causes to forget what we have.

But this year we want to remind is a year

of the SuperNature, miraculous right, the gift of the Holy

Spirit being manifested in your life. So then they opened

his mouth and became a wester mouthpiece to speak the

world of God. Very important for you and me to

understand these friends problems. In eighty one says that the

power lies in our time, but we confess, we live

by our confession. We live by confession. Probably to eighty

twenty one is not in the book, but I just

start to give it to your right. The life and

death lies in the power of them. So many times

in our life, friends, we tend to confess things that

we're not supposed to confess. I want to just want

to let you know I've met amazing parents, parents in

our church, partners parents partners, parents in our church.

You know, sometimes.

Parents meant the best for their children in the best

possible way they could understand, right, I.

Want let you know that.

Okay, no parents reach anything evil one, but sometimes because

how they will expose raised when they were young, they

will live out their life and how they raise the suant.

So I met a parent. I met a parent right

mom the dactors in our church.

The mom said, my daughter is like that. Okay, first statement, Okay,

I think, what do you mean by your daughters?

Say that?

I can't call people auntie because they're about the same age.

I can't call people auntie right now because right now

I'm the age rare by we are here. We are

the same almost same level of h D. I say,

what what do you mean ya, she's nobody wants to one.

Number one, nobody wants to I said this, I say,

I don't, I don't do I call her? I can

I kind of reveal the name to your but I say, hey,

you not that looking word? Yeah, look at this. She's

at this ash no boyfriend yet.

Number two.

She is very rough, very rough. The way she handles

things very rough. I say, Noah, I say she she

doesn't swear when she carried things. She treats she's gentler.

Number four.

She says she's good, but there's so many other people

who's better than her. Well, almost every light or something

to say, or in your friends. Then I looked at

her that look, and the daughter looked at her. I

said that no one know. That's the reason why sometimes

we turn out like that, because the parents keep prophesyhing.

That my daughter is not good enough.

My daughter is very rough, and that's why it's like that.

Lie. I'm not sure about us as believers here in

this place.

What have you been prophesying into our own life, into

our marriage, into our relationship. But the power does lies

in the time, life and death. And the more we

keep saying that, That's why I looked at her. I

just say, no, untie, I believe I can keep calling

out of respect or older sister, I say that your

daughter's amazing. I just want to let you know that

it's a guy I know who's married, who cannot, who cannot,

who cannot remarry? All right, who's married, I can say

what your daughter's your singer cannot be. Guys should be

lighting up for her, They said sure or not. I'm like, okay,

if I put you in that room, I'm sure you

develop with a photo.

Anyway, God's colleague to prepare.

Come on, I'm not sure where you are right now,

but prepare what do prepair friends look into the way

we live our lives, or what we confess, what we

prophesy the words God's collegue to prepare because God will

bring the rain. He does, but you and I need

to prepare and bring the umbrella. So we need to

prepare because when things come, when sickness come, friends don't

go and just say, oh, this is me.

I'm like that. My parents like that and stuff like that.

My mom had kidney failure, had kidney issues when she

was fifteen, right so, at age of forty something, she

sought off her kidney's like already stop functioning and she

had to go on dialysis. And she will tell me

this every time I see her back. Then you're very

be careful because I got kidney failure. Very high chance

you might get the kidney failure, very high chance you

have a kidney issue. I'm not sure whether we are prepared.

So every time she confessed, I say no, by the

blood Jesus cour me and this stuff like that. So

God is calling us to prepare, to bring the umbrella.

God's not telling us to worry about the numbers of

the situation. Come on, the situation will come, The numbers

will come, and everything will come. But God has never

asked us to focus and worry about it.

He has asked us and focus on what we have

do to do our part. We knew our mind so

that we can confess the right thing. Come on.

To real on my twenty twenty six. Come on, are

we on the crest of renewing our mind?

And not?

Are we on the crest of renewing me? Or it's

our mind just being fed with k dramas. Come on,

it's our mind. It's just fair with Netflix. Just keep

on watching, but not necessarily having a brick shoe. So

the preparation is so important, friends, Number one, about preparations

that we need to have the conviction. You and I

need to have conviction. Pitch twenty too. We need to

have the conviction. See our motto is helping people to believe.

But conviction starts only when we believe. Come on, conviction

starts only when we believe. You know, when we don't

believe in something, Friends, even though you're on a journey,

you won't be fully prepared even though, oh you're on

the journey, you won't be fully prepared.

You know, if you're convinced, you'll be prepared.

One So, my trip to UK about two years ago,

I told my wife that, you know, I love the coal,

I love the winter, I love the core and this

stuff like that ten degrees is just perfect and things

like that.

So uh so.

When we had to go for the Old night x

UK or get away get away, it was in the outskirts,

so when you're outskirts, it's colder and friends. I was

so convinced because I went to the UK before I

could manage the core, only to realize this time was

colded and normal. I got no choice but to go

to one of those shops to pick up something that

I could spend money to buy the clothing we shorely

gonna use for a couple of days that would put

it back into my shelving because I wasn't fully convinced

it will be co Come on, but if you convinced.

My wife's fully convinced. She it's the weather forecast.

She's fully convinced the weather forecast on our app does work,

which I'm not fully convinced of because no one can

predict the weather, right, because I'm not fully convinced and

impact enough. I was layering up. My wife was Philly.

She can't prepared for the weather. So I'm not sure

about us.

Friends, the conviction in our hearts on this journey that

God wants to bring us through. If you believe, come on,

if you believe, friends, you're prepared. Number two is this

that commitment our corporation. See, a vision is nothing without provision.

Come on, a vision is nothing without provision. We need

to corporate, friends, We need to understand that without corporation

from everyone and commitment for everyone, we won't be able

to move forward. You see, God can be the conviction.

He can't be in the conviction and the condition. Well

I missed the point of the condition of centralizing. All right,

can be set, the environment can be said. But our

focus in France. Number three, which is this, is that commitment.

It's very important.

Married couples is not committed to make the marriage work,

we drive apart. Merry couple is not committed to their

marriage to the wedding vowels will drive apart.

We tell a couple of these is that try to

leave you, to to leave your life depending on one another. Yes,

your individually very strong can run our own life. But

when two lives come together, when they exchange, Wow, in

the presence of the Lord, we have to be committed

to learn to depend on one another so that we

we don't drive apart. That I'm individually strong, individally strong,

we do. Technically we don't need each other. But because

you're married, we have to be committed to make this work.

So I'm dependent on you. I'll check with you regarding

my schedule before I book my appointment. So I'm not

sure where you are right now, friends, whether or not

you are committed in whatever you start off this year.

You know, every year, friends, we start off with things

that we want to achieve. Losing me is number top

three that people put on top three losing weight. But

comes February sixteen, Chinese New Year, the Lord be merciful

to your you know, and this statement always come out

once a year. Come on, it's only once a year

you have this, fatty pop. It's only once of your

this girl pok. It's only once a year you will

have this. Don't miss out once a year thing. Only

discover that the next time you meet a relative. The

once a year, come back again once a year. You

need have your both day so either so, I'm not

sure how committed we are abur friends, I want to

encourage you. The vision of the Lord is nothing without commitment.

Come on, the vision of Lord is nothing without commitments.

So you and I need to be committed to the cost.

All right, next page, next way? Community. Let me touch

on this right, what's it portant for us for this journey?

Hit?

We need to have a community. I met not with

a brother recently. We're just chatting and you're just saying that.

I just want you to know that I felt so alone.

I felt alone. I felt alone. And the reason why

it felt alone is because he stays a bit further

from everyone else.

Number one. So it's not about the distance.

I say that, how often do you make a commitment

to meet up with other people?

You can stay all the way?

That says Saddam Balla kan whatever it is, all right,

So this is not the issue. I say, how often

do you make it a point to meet up with people?

Because God has never, never, never wanted you to live alone.

But many times, you know what happened that people make

a choice, made a choice to leave their life alone,

thinking that they could manage, manage loadliness. So this brother,

after a while, I say, elder, something, I don't feel

like waking up. I don't feel like waking up. I

don't feel motivated to go the world. I say, that's

because you've been living all by yourself, living all by yourself. Yes,

you have your pets with you, but we are not

just wired to connect with our pets. Come on, if

you understand, try and say, we are wired to connect

with people.

I say, people brings life when you soul into people's life. Yeah, people,

So in your life something happens within there. So community

is very important for us. Go ahead doesn't want us

to move forward. A lot of work in isolation. Amen.

So community is about support supporting one another. Community is

all about what can you do for me? Is what

I can do for you? Come on, I've met really

good people, very precious people.

But all the idea about communities, what.

Can you do for me? What can you do for me?

You know, if if always a statement what can you

do for me? Comes up with all the conversations, you

know what happened. She'd be so tired, you'd be so tired.

In any form of relationship could get mate your husband

and wife that has been looking at why what can

you do for me? The wife coachs clean mob poles,

clean the window inside and outside. Right, we pined the

house clean the toilet, fixed the toilet, and the husband

of the what else can you do for me? I

could imagine right now the wife. After a while, we'll

take a fog and step him. I'm sorry too many

Korean Korean drama recaps, right, isn't it true? Because if

you keep feeding you, come on, keep feeding you, keep

feeding you, You'll be drained, you be tired, you'll be

burnt out, you'll be exhausted. And God has de wel

wired made us that way.

We are made to serve, be fruitful, and multiply, to

give out.

Come on, be fruitful and multiply friends. So the big

part of community is communication. Come on, communication. I'm just

gonna encourage this that the moment we stop communicating is

the moment we start living in isolation. The moment we

stop communicating, we start living in isolation. You know, recently,

so we were at Selina's, our father's wig and you know,

we also had a Benji sister who passed on to

went home to be with the Lord and stuff that

it's amazing to see people coming around, friends coming around

and supporting and encouraging and praying, because it's never easy

to go to that period of moment. Yes, sometimes you

say elder, but you know, I'm not very good with words,

not being in a whig service. Your presence speaks. Your

presence communicate how valuable the other person is to you.

We make it a point and as key leaders of

the church, to attend every week service because it's never

easy for people to lose their love ones. You try

our very best to go friends communication. Could you imagine

going through such a tough period all by yourself. It's

hard and the motivation of community is love. It's not

because that you were assigned to I met I met

one leader. They say that, you know, elder, I felt underutilized.

I see why I wasn't assigned to anything very good,

I would say, very good interpretation of what's happening. I

wasn't excited and so therefore nobody I got, nobody to

full up on, nobody have dinner.

With for lunch with. So if you are assigned, if

you're assigned the name to me, I will do the

full up.

But I say that love doesn't really need an assignment.

Come on if you need an assignment. Therefore it's no

longer love anymore.

We don't do things because Selena, you're a sig right now,

so you need to meet everyone in the exampum, although

she say, oh, you know, it's virtually hot.

But when there is loves, I will try and because

the love of people compos us to try to meet

up for lunch. You know, sometimes like for exact exampound,

you try to have lunch right although you're in hell

of kl I know your foot choices are quite limited

to the places you could walk to. Although you're hard

to care. There's a lot of options here, what friends,

but you have to drive. So my wife like to

use an example self. You have not met in Semi

for a very long time. So x men, you used

to meet in summit and they started eight am, they

finished about nine forty five. Nine forty five okay, and

nine forty five. There's only two shop that's open, your

foot and the Mama downstairs. And for the past four

years or three years they were there's these two optionally

yell phat or the Mama down says, and she has

to step up and address the leaders. Look, do you

think I like to go to yo fat and the

mama down says, I would like to have them some outside.

But because for the love of the community, to make

it easier for people.

To come, let's just eat here.

Yes, we can drive our car out to other places

like some other church blood who does it?

Not?

They may other church plans who does it? But we

can drive out get the people's car.

But because of love, friends, we choose to meet here,

although we are so sick of the food. But because

there are new people now church that may be find

it harder to travel out, which I're just easer to connect.

You understand why I say so. There's five things about love.

Number one is looking for each other listen, lands leads,

and leaving a legacy.

Right, so I'm just kipping right now to the trade patienty.

Five ingredients of discipleship. Remember the big mission. The big

mission is discipleship. Come on discipleship, people who make the difference.

There's three key ingredients. Number one is this follow me,

follow me right. We need to know the power of

following me. Friends, There is power because all of us

here are called to be an example. So there was

a I have to make reference to some of the

conversation I had. There was a there was a there

was a couple. I met a couple I met right

above forty years old. Yeah, right now, I'm my forties already.

So what do I do? You know?

When you when we are younger friends, we are younger

in our twenties. Our friends twenties quite exciting. Remember your

when you're drinkies care free. You can have Mama without

worry abou cholesterol and stuff like that. You meet up

with people with data, you understand, okay, But after you

get married, your your your thirties, is you all right?

But once you reach your forties, you go like you

want to carry stuff. The spirit is reeling, but the

body is not. So say what do I do right now?

I felt like I'm like I got a lot of excitement.

I thought, I'm still young, but yet I know that

my body is very different now.

I felt that I mean no men's lend. So we

resonate with this.

I'm not like carry as much as I could before,

I still can.

I can't stay up so young the time.

Friends, when we have camp, we can stay out at

one am in the morning and wake.

At six am. The dog our good devotion.

Nowadays, at ten pm we say I'm tired, I'll retire

to my room already.

So this rather asked, We'll ask me a question. What

should I do? What should I do? Right now? I

feel like no man's land and my forties, you know,

I feel like is there more juice within me? So

I explained to I said, you know, once you have

a kid, once you're married, once you have a kid,

and once you have this age, I want to encourage you.

He said, I know what doesn't mean to be an example,

but what does it describe to me? I say this is, look,

use the power that's within you in white people into

your home, because the great the strength of our forties

that we have a home, a place, oh hate, whether

it's rental only, doesn't matter.

We have a place. All he with a mouth stable even.

Wipe them into your home and engage them in the

conversation because we did crazy stuff with our twenties. Right now,

if you have asked all of us who are in

our forties right now, I'm sure that wow, two things

we say that we will never do. I'm sure that wow.

Two things.

We say that we are not good though, if it

can relave our twenties again, I will not do this

or I will do this. And because we have vent

through the treadmill like that, I say you can sit

down with people who are in their twenties and begin

to encourage them. I say, learn from my mistakes, learn

from my example, follow me, learn from me. Learn not

saying that we are better from someone else, but learn

from myself with the mistakes I have made, so that

you could await them if possible. First, I'm not sure

where you are right now, but there's so much power

within you right now that you can become an example

for other people that they want to follow. That so

many more people want to follow right. Number two is

that feed my ship. John chapter twenty one, verse seventy say,

if you love me, feed my sheep, feed my ship. Friends,

you can only feed godship if you were yourself were fed.

Come on, if you can only feed, if you're yourself

are fed with the word of the Lord, a lot

of times be able to try to feed.

On empty.

It's very hard one, friends, it's very dry. Number three

is that you are called to be facies of men.

What do you mean, my dad, let's not get spiritually fed.

Bazzard reminds us only receiving, but let us exercise our

faith by giving.

And making disciples follow me, feed my ship, and become

ficious of men. Very key for us, you know, the

legacy for our churches this is that one day the

church would be led by a very good of young people,

very group of young people will will age right. And

the challenge here is this is that if we don't

lay down the foundation of discipleship, after all, the pressure

that will come into the church, the pressure for our children.

Because the road map is discipleship. I want you to

know that we have been we have We have been

in church for twenty five years. This is go to

trade six. We've been ministry for thirty four years. We

have seen the cycle whereby people come to church fully committed.

So out the challenge comes. You know, I heard, I

heard the story. I heard the story. There's a girl

that we know fully committed in the teens, teens or

college years, serving the law, living the lord got married

to go to church. Husband is here average and when

he goes and you could then after that, challenges came.

Financial problems came right, they go to church a bit

more somethimes, problems close as to God.

Right. Subsequently, the Lord blessed the family so much, really

a lot in the business. Venture, house got upgraded, cars

got upgraded, lifestyle got upgraded. Not just by one, four

by three, four fours. Right. Husband, First, I stop going

to church. The wives, the wife who was.

One really committed as a college student, you're working a doubt.

Stop going to church altogether. I only show this you

not to put people down. It's to remind us. Really,

it's to remind us, really, to mind you and to

remind myself.

Friends. It's not the poor people's just to remind us. Friends.

If we don't disciple our life one day, whatever challenges

it would be, whether it's finances, whether it's different things,

will lead us through challenge es. Rather to be committed

to the Lord, not will lead us to challenges whether

we'll remain committed. That's why we want everyone to not

just to hear the word, friends, not to hear the word,

but begin to exercise. There is no greater organization in

the world, greatest mission then to see someone's life being

impacted by the word of God, being impacted by the

Word of God. So there's two things that you and

I need to know, the Great Commandment and the Great Commission.

The Great Commandment and the Great Commission both had the

word all one final story, We all our end. So

we have a prayer support group. Prayer support group for

we want to plan the churches in India. We have

a we have a prayer support group.

Right. So in extra.

Commandment, Extra Commandment, Uh, one of the workers in extra

combangin in this hotel, in this hotel got safe, God

save God saved to just watching ah Christian videos got safe.

And he told his manager there is a church's extra commandment,

I want to attend.

Give me two hours. I want to attend the church.

His manager allowed it for a while, but then they

say that it got so busy on Sunday, say I

cannot allow you to go any more to church.

You have to work.

Because your colliaques are not happy that you're taking time

off to go to church and stuff like that. So

he stopped going to church, but yet he didn't stop

great his faith.

He started sharing.

With his family members how good God is mom, and

that could know him to know the lot.

His other value came to know the lot. I want you.

I want you to understand and to know that God.

Is really working in the hearts of the people, whereby

some you and I will never fully understand. And that's

why the Great Commission is so important. We are praying

that we were able to planning in India Someway this

year because we just form a prayer group already and

we hope we go there just to see where God lists.

But yet at the same time, friends, at the same

time that God is doing amazing work in Botswana with

Lazarus and the whole team over there.

You're going to see them in this coming February. He's

letters coming down together with some key leaders are coming down.

But yet he said that I want to start something

in South Africa and he is looking for it because

he's gonna graduate this year and he's gonna be baseball

in South Africa. I want you to know that the

Great Commission, friends, the Great Commission is that whether we

choose to believe, it's going to be their friends, and

you and I need to remember that we are so

called to make disciples of all nations. It is an investment, friends,

the final it is an investment of ten percent of

our time is an investment. This time I'm going to close.

See God reminds.

Us that we are supposed to prophesy correct not in

our situation. If it is God's present into our marketplace,

that people who do not know God begin to know

the Lord.

People do not know God begins.

The lot because God's powers within us superphesize the situation.

Pray for someone right.

Ultimately, whether the person believe or not is between them

and the Lord.

Right. Secondly, is the lot reminds us that we are

on the journey. On the journey, friends, it starts with

it starts with believing. There must be conviction.

Then they have to be commitment in our journey, friends,

because if you're not committed, weapons is that every year

you have a new you have a new to do

things every year, you have a new resolution every year.

If you're committed to something.
