Daily Routine / Discipleship / Destiny | Elder Kien Yiak

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

We hope this message will light up your day.

So this morning, I want to speak about the discipleship,

as you all know that we are on this team,

but really I would speaking about the daily routine, discipleship

and destiny. How our daily routine, right, God uses the

daily routine of our life in your life as well

as part of the discipleship process.

Discipleship is not a class, It's a journey. Amen.

It's a journey whereby you and I would go to

one a daily your daily life and God uses the

daily routine.

Amen.

Someone say daily routine, your daily routines of your life,

and you use that to shape us molders point us

to the destiny that He wants us to embrace. And

God always gives you a choice whether or not you

want to step into it all every man there, I

was talking to a parent and just yes on Friday

night at homes and his parents were just telling us

about the about her son and the son right now,

I think, if I'm not wrong, just graduated from ex

kids in between like like twins like that, And I

told the mommy thisy mom, you always say that I

have a choice.

I want to exercise my choice right now. I don't

to go to church.

That's what the mom was, just like, I want the

exercise my choice right now.

I do not want to go to church.

Right that's your belief was, that is what you want

to do on a Sunday morning. I want to sleep.

I want to stay at home. I got no interest.

And you know, and and this mom, of course, you know,

and any parent hearing that defigures why why where did

he go wrong? What happened to my son that was

so excited at the beginning? I was in between right

and and through the course of you know, of coming

to church, right, U, he sort of like lost interest

and always been found sleeping at the back. And I

think the mom went for a meeting one day, brought

the sun along and I think someone was sharing and

he got revived, He got rewived, And they say, Mom,

I just want to let you know that I caught

the word wow such a young age.

I caught the word that the speaker was sharing.

And I want to let you know I want to

come back to church and the Sunday itself, the Sunday itself, right,

the mom they had to wake him up. He woke

up by himself and told him, up, I'm ready to

go to church. I want to let you know it's

true your daily routine. You go, God does encourage you.

So don't give up yet. All right, So if you

have your Bible with reveal, I presume you have or

your phone, which is turned. The first semiche of the

ninth we got read from worse one to words three,

subsequently from five four to five or something.

All right?

Set first semech ofter nine was one. There was a

man of Benjamin whose name was Tish, the son of

a b l the son of Zero, the son of

Kora Affair, and Benjamin, a mighty man of power. He

had the choice and handsome son whose name was Saw.

There was no more handsome person. Wow, Wow, there was

no more handsome person than he among the Tune of Israel.

What the amazing tight a description of a man that

the Bible say, There's no one. I think if if

you're if there was a people's magazine, he'll be at

the front page of the magazine.

Or right.

If we ever get to heaven, I would like to

see how so looks like in comparison to our modern

man that people will say handsome.

Right, he could maybe look a bit like Krein who

knows right.

From me showed it upwards. He was taller than any

of the people, taller than any of the people. Now

the donkeys of case, the sauce sauce father were lost,

all right, now, this is the assignment. Right now, that

was donkey, and said to his son, saw, please take

one of the servants with you and arise and go

look for the donkey. There was assignment right. Donkey was lost, dead,

sold the sun. Please look for my donkey. Not show

how many I've ever chased your pattern before. Outside your

house you open the door, your pet dog ran out

of the house. No matter what name you call, what

you chose, it doesn't recognize you at all. It just

kept on running and running and towards the road, which

is really busy.

All right.

It's something your heart go like no, and it's hard

to catch.

You understand that right now? Worse fall.

So he passed through the mouths of if Fame and

through the land of Shalissa, and he they did not

find them. Then they passed through the land of Shalim,

and they were not there. That he passed through the

land of the Benjamins, and they could not find them.

Just basically they were imagining right now, going to different

places looking for something that you can't find.

Verse five.

They came to the land of Zup and Saw said

to someone who was with him, come let us return.

I think Saul has reached a point whereby if the

Bible says that they were well to do, it's just

donkeys can be replaced. I'm not sure how many of

earth have a name for our pets. I think I

think we all do, but none of our pets are

in the donkey form right now. I was talking to,

you know, so very mules in Bintulu. I found out

that some of them loved to name their pets. One

of them while their pets are chicken which they raised

up from young with names.

Delate they slaughtered to eat all right.

So we were having, yeah, seriously very lunch and just said, yeah,

I give my my son, you know, like chickens and

chickens to to to take care off. They were. They

had this so that they can relate. Though they took

care of it. One day they came back and they

the sun asked, mom, where is my pet? Then the

mom said, well you ate last night, right, and the sun.

Were like no.

I also ford another story whereby uh, the granddaughter came

out to the house, was eating and she just.

Asked Grandma, Grandma, where's my rabbit? Where is my ra?

Grandma said, well, you just ate it now.

I always I'm not saying this to to to make

you like that, right, but I would just let you know.

Some people just see it can be replaced.

Saw got to this point whereby the donkeys can be replaced,

come or less return back to our father's house. And

you know it's's sometimes you can come to a place

whereby I've been doing this all by myself.

I've been doing this for the longest time.

It's almost like a never ending job, a job that

nobody sees ups and down. Only you and the servant

knows what you went through. Right, and you come to

the place here by come on less return back to

our dad's house because of my father could be worried.

My comes return list my father seas carrying for the

donkeys and become worried about us.

Legitimate is very true. You can come.

You can come to a place whereby we give up,

I'm doing the assignment that our Father in heaven us

us to do because you went to different lance and worse. Six,

then he the service, sayyim, now look now that in

this city a man of God, and he was honorable man.

He is an honorable man. All that he says you

surely come to pass. So let us go there. Perhaps

he can show us the way we should go.

Right.

I won't speak, first of all, the daily routine in discipleship,

the daily routine in discipleship, or the daily routine in

what we do. Right, it's a formal discipleship that God

allows to go to one. First, discipleship is the word disease.

Is that for us.

From one point of our life, God moves us on,

transform us, shape us to be more like Him, to

be more like God, to be more like Christ, to

exhibit really the Christ's love and Christ's nature and his

characteristics here on earth. In heaven, there is no discipleship anymore.

Discipleship can only happened here on earth. See, God doesn't

really doesn't review the full picture emiliated to us when

you caught us friends. God doesn't review the full picture

to us when you call us one. So when the

man sauls that say, I want to send you out

look for a donkey's I'm not sure how many of

us have.

A picture in mind? How far would you.

Go to look for a set of donkeys, Because isn't

it true? Sometimes maybe one day's enough, two days enough,

maximum three days Okay, after the third day you cannot find,

you return back and something. That's what we do with

our life as well. You have an assignment, you felt

God caught you to do something, then you started doing

it with enthusiasm. Nobody gets sent out with like why

me again? Very seldom now right, But we get sent

out with enthusiasm. We get sent up with excitement. But

in the course of the journey, friends, in the course

of the journey that you will find that you're in

three races. Sometimes you go to how far and how long?

Right?

So Saul's father asked us to search for the missing donkeys.

But finding the lost animals in the last stenze is

virtually impossible. It is hard, don't say, donkey fans. Sometime

to find the missing document in our office in the

power of stacks and stacks of a for paper.

Could be hard.

Sometimes if we play misplaced our car keys, my dad

one they called me up, Say, son, could you come

back to the house. I can't find my keys. I

searched everywhere. I cannot enter the house. I cannot find it.

You see, I searched for three hours. Really, my friends,

it's only between the car and the main entrance. Two

three hours you search, I couldn't find it. So I

drove back in about nine pm to my dad's house.

Say that, tell me what you remember. They told me

the story that told my dad Dad the one.

Let you know.

Could you stand up right now, just turn and look

behind you. The keys are at the window.

Huh, that's just a tree I was.

I cannot find it. It wasn't there the first place. Did

you put it there? Don't argue with that. I say, yeah,

that I put it there. Okay, by for all the right,

But it happens, friends, that finding lost and when the

verse is ritually impossible. But it's a task, friends, that

was given by saus that please go and find out

the father lost at the boundary. Okay, after the second

day you cannot find leave it. Then you come back

the father. They say that I want you to go

find a set of donkeys. Now I'm not sure that,

I say again, my wether saw has this feeling towards

the pet donkeys not or something like that. But it

looks like he didn't, but it was. It was tough yet, Friends,

it's not about the type of assignment. God is always

after the attitude, So it's never about the assignment. Friends,

when it times revealed it why you give me this

tosk to do?

God? Why you call me to do this right? Taking

out trash? Right? I wouldn't do it because his hands

are anointed. I don't know.

Why is it that we fail to recognize that God

ask us to do because of the type of assignment

find that he s again, finding donkeys is not the

most exciting things that we can do, right, taking down

God life is more exciting, right all trying a tyrant kingdom,

for example, it's by exciting but Lord donkeys for Lord,

it is not the number one thing that we look for.

But God doesn't. The word is put a box in

the type of assignment.

He's really after our attitudes, our respond He's really after

what gets revealed when we go on this assignment.

He's really after the soil of your heart.

So so I had to pass through the amount of

Ephram the Lend of Sila, the Lene of Shalim, the

Land of Benjamin, and the Lend of Zoo. Five places

you have to go to friends without GPS. There was

no attach on the donkey, right, there was virtually nothing.

So imagine if you go to the first two or

right the amount of Ephraim. You go there, you enjoy

the scenery, but you know scenery, after all, everything looks

the same, like, oh, do you like to go for holiday?

Say yeah, I do. Do you like to go to

the countryside?

I say yeah, okay, I say that, after what, every

country side look the same. I'm not saying that every

afterward in every country, every country looks more or less similar,

so that there's no more excitement there. Really, right now,

I couldn't imagine right now excitement fans or rather than

enthusiasm can come to a place whereby you get disillusion.

Why did that ask me to go out?

If he was a rich man, he sent to other

servants the need the son to be involved. After I

got better things to do in my life, and some

of us we do have more important things to do

in our own personal life as well. Why me, Lord,

can't someone else do the job can't someone else do

the assignment? Again, God is not after the assignment accomplish

of the assignment as much as really after our respond

towards assignment.

Because it's easy.

So that Dad said go ahead and find literally saw

no that he had to go to a vast land

five places just to look. So imagine right now saw

crabs sit now at every point after the mouth reframe,

it looked like Silvi say, let's go back after the

land of Chashidah. Let's go back forget about this. I

don't think the servant would say no. But what you

imagine right now, whereby how many knows we have said

in our lives that actually is a cause why sometimes

we miss out of destiny in God, the destiny that

he wants to go through. And God always uses the

natural really to disciple us. So no matter how tired

it is, or perhaps you're the only one who is

doing the lot's work, don't give up as a divide

and counter is just around the corner, no matter how

tired it is, because like say again, right, you could

have given up at every stage of your ministry life

right of the things you'd be doing. It could be

a small thing, but friends, it's not the assignment. I

say again, it's our attitude.

Right. You could have given up every stage, but.

Don't give up yet because your divine encounter is just

around the corner. So to continue working in discipleship requierest humility.

Come on, really, it requires humility. Turn your neighbor and

say humility right first seven, nine, five to six. So

when they keep the letter zoo right, here's verse five

said that saw city servant come, let's return, Let's go back. Okay,

I'm tired right now. It's not worthy to pursue to

what end. It's not worth it to pursue on suching

for these donkeys. We went to five area already. We

need to go to another five after It could be

like two months away, were away from the house. I'm tired.

This is not my comfort zone. I got a place

I could sleep in right now, to sleep under a tree.

I mean, there's so many reasons why we could abandon

the project, why we could abandon the call of God.

When I was being through that, I met a guy

who was starting churches in the interiors.

He was just telling me.

That there's a place that God called the church to plant,

to get to this place was not easy. And there

was a call there was they went out to the church.

Would there be anyone who wants to join me to

plan the church in this location. No one came, No

one answered the call. And he just looked to his

committee of what member and this is it? And he

just said this, if no one is going, I will

go in myself. To get to the place. Strands to

transport building materials is not that straightforward by speedboat, by

land and back on the speedboard. So three farm or

three stages just to get to this place. And most

time it thinks about a year to do a simple

church structure a building. But for this particular project he

would just share with me it took him three years

to accomplish the structure. Friends, when we say yes to God, friends,

we could just imagine, okay, read a human calculation. I

guess it's one year. I guess it's six months. But

what happened when things get stretched? What happened when things

get delayed or prolonged?

Right? And what how would it look like? In a response?

And this is worse six And the servants say, look,

now there's a there's in this city a man of

God which you can call on which you can ask

for help, which you could turn to. I want you

to imagine right now, if Saul who have said no

to a servant forget it right, It's only donkeys, all right.

After if I finally, if.

I go and buy credit medua, if I go buy

another self of donkeys, my father will know the difference.

If I go by another sell of donkeys, all right,

my dad would not know the difference. After all, they

look quite similar, I think. So it's not like a

special reed or something like that. Too many of miss

our divine moments because you keep saying no to what

God assigned.

Is to do.

Here's a servant saying, saw this. There's a man of God?

There saw this man of God?

Would you go?

And that's what God reminds us as well in our

journey as well. Would you consider this? And maybe and

sometimes we have valid reasons why we say no. I'm

tired and burnout, I'm disillusion but Kwi, you just ask

us to reconsiderself. This response is and we look deeper

because the assignment wasn't set up by men. But God

always uses men assignment for a spiritual divine connection. God

always uses men assignment. You can be sent there by men, right,

but God always uses those assignment for divine connection. And

could you imagine that if Saul said no to the servant,

he wouldn't encounter profit Samuel. And if he didn't counter

profit Samuel, his true destiny to become the first king

of Asia could have been.

Out the window.

All these are connected because I say, yes, maybe it's

just a bit more, maybe it needs to be Okay,

I'll take one more step. And if I really can't

find a return, and some of us here need to

hold on to death, just one more step, one more

step in the Lord, one more push in the Lord.

Point number two.

Discipleship is allowing God to go deeper into our life.

I always say this before discipleships go deeper into God. No,

it's allowing God to go deeper into our life.

Friends.

I think many times you say I want to go

deeper to God, which is true. But how many times

we need to tell God, God, please go deeper into

our life, deeper into the soil of our hearts, to

unread certain things that we need to I think many

times we go to pruning, putting on the exterior.

We treamed certain.

Things but how many know, no matter what how much

you tream, you still grow because their roots are still there.

The roots of different things are still there in our hearts.

Right first, sem then so I say this before, okay,

choice and handsome man, you you know it all right?

I think obviously, as you're fixated with SOB being the

most handsome of the land.

Must very small pool of guys love.

It must be a very small pool of guys to

be the most handsome.

Of all right, I think maybe runing about.

Right, No matter what you read about Saul, however, there

was no mention about his moral, spiritual or mentors nature.

There was no mention about saw future heart for God.

On the outside, it looked really good and all of

a sudden that's could be taken up because the person

speaks really well, perfect and this stuff like that. But

there's no mention about source, spiritual or moral stance. And

sometimes in our life we need to have that. Yes,

no matter what we have on the outside, for example,

polite in everything, which is great. But I pray that

in your life and my life as well, that people

also see Christ in us. Christ in us, the conviction

is also shining as well. Your stance in the lot

can be seen as well. Many times you focus on

the outside. Could you imagine soul in this whole description tallest,

most handsome, tallest, most handsome. Right, and you know if

you're empty inside, If you know that inside, no matter

how you feel on the outside, inside, you don't your

self worth.

It's not there.

If you know that inside that is empty, no matter

what people say on the outside, you felt emptiness on

the inside. That's why sometimes people with this description the

most handsome may not feel that the most handsome, may

not feel that the external has something to offer, may

not feel that they have something of worth. I'm gonna

show you from the Bible afterwards. Right, God didn't focus

on the external friends, by users the circumstances and situation

of the daily routine to begin to reveal the condition

the soil of our hearts. Well, all that God has

blessed you with the external? Right, praise God. Right, if

you're the most handsome one, duel you know, Praise God, hallelujah. Amen, yea,

it is a good time. I'm gonna say amen this.

They don't believe it, Okay, I understand. Yeah, they said

they've got tree. Okay, anyway, sorry side tracks like tracks, trck,

right like trick. But he focused, he uses the circumstances.

Come on, he uses circumstances. He doesn't focus on outside. Right.

He didn't ask you to trim your haird No, No,

He uses the circumstances, situation, your daily routine, daily routine

to begin to reveal the condition of the soil of

your hearts. He does so in everything that you do,

right from your own house, house chaw, he reveals the

condition the soil of your hearts. He does because many

times you fix on the outside of right, but very

little repair atsion to the soil of our own hearts.

Because as long as we as long as we don't

do bad, we think we're all right. Come on, as

long as we not killing people, we think we're okay.

It's not we don't do anything that's bad. That the

world thing is bad. But God has a different standard altogether,

a different way altogether. First see chapter ten, verse seventy

to nineteen. Then Samuel said to the people who gethered,

said sorry, first seventies. Then Samuel called the people together

to the Lord and Missba and say to the children

of Israel, trust, say the Lord God of Israel.

I brought Israel from.

Egypt and delivered you from the hand of Egyptian, and

from the hand of all the kingdoms, and from all

those who oppressed you, Gods reminding the children of Isuel.

That's what he have done. And he he he is

actually the Lord over Israel.

My verse nineteen is very said, but you have today

rejected your God, who himself saved you from all your

adversities and all your tribulations. Here, thank you Lord, by

one physical king, Thank you Lord, by one a human

leading us. I think God was really hurt by that statement.

That and you have said to him, no, said the

King or Earth. And therefore present yourself before the Lord

by your trials and by your clans. Therefore chapter twenty

that Sebuary had caused all the trouble is you to

come near the trial of Benjamin, where I Saw came

from was chosen. And when he had caused the trail

Benjamin to come near to their families, the family of

Metrid was chosen, and Saw, the son of Kish was chosen.

Here is unfailing. Here is here is.

An appointment, whereby Saw was declared to be king right.

But they sought for him, they looked for him. If

they tried to find him, he could not be found.

Could you imagine right now your graduates seremony and the

professor's calling out your name.

So and so, could you come and receive your award?

Cannot be found? The appointment right now? Maybe you've been

pointed to a new position, So and so would you

step up right now and traduce you.

To the whole team? Could not be found and verse

twenty two.

Therefore, the inquire of the Lord, could you imagine, right

not the first King of Isel, the great unreally, the

great appointment cannot find the King cannot find the individual.

The inquiry of the Lord. Has this man come here yet? Wow?

And something instegracious and maybe it is late there maybe

got trefect jam and the Lord say this, there he is.

Heiden among equipment, hidden among equipment, and dicipuship is really

allowing God to go deeper into our life.

Here is so? Right now?

The one of his greatest or chief, one of his

greatest experiences is to be the first king of Israel.

And the opportune was given to him to lead the nation,

the very first man to lead the nation of Israel. Right,

but he was hiding behind the equipment, hiding behind one transition,

put it as hiding behind baggages.

I want you to understand this.

Sometimes God uses the natural appointment to review.

The soil of our hearts.

If Solkware have taken this as as a teaching moment,

if So have paid attention and asked himself, why am

I hiding behind the equipment? After he was the most

handsome one taller than any other thing one transition, you

will put it as god Lee the Kings. Would you

put as Godley on the external Godlee? If so could

pay attention and asked, if so, why am I hiding?

After all?

It's not It's different when you get caught for something

you have done wrong.

Right. If you ever get caught.

In the assembly school assembly because you have done wrong,

pop for and the hit master will have kien you publicly.

You be very slow to respond. The hit master will

call you your name at least a couple of times. Right

then only you come out. I've not seen any of

my classmates them when the hit master called him out right,

they jump up and say, thank you so much it

master for calling my name. I'm ready to be king

by you in public. I don't think anybody will respond

that way. But here saw it's just an appointment. At declaration,

there will be king. But he hid behind the equipment.

When God reveals the condition of the solve of our hearts,

he's not to shame us.

Come on, It's not to put you to shame.

And maybe sometimes that's our that's what we perceive made

to understand when we get corrected, or that we are bad,

not good enough.

But God has never intended that way. Friends, when he

reveals he.

Doesn't, he's not in the he's not on the journey

to put you to shame. See you're lacking, see you're

not good enough, right, or to put us down.

But it's also say God, I need you.

That's why the scriptures say in my weakness, your strength

is make perfect. Come on, in my weakness, your strength

is made perfect. That's why when God revealed the condition

the solve our hearts, really to remind us, Thank God,

I need you for this assignment. I need you for

this assignment. I need you for this calling. But so

do not call upon God. He did not call upon God.

He didn't say, God, why am I hiding her? Sometimes

you don't have a moment whereby we could reflect why

am I like that? Why am I like that? Why

why am I responding in this way? How did I

get here?

Ye?

Have we one of those moment where by you asked

yourself like, how did I get to this place?

It's very good to reflect some of men.

You have those time moments in your life whereby you

can just reflect, like how do I get here?

In the first place?

When I was in Osaka with my wife and you know,

and we had we did about twenty six thousand steps

in the day and by and being fifty DC right,

bodies is a bit different.

Spirit is still strong.

Right after My mind is only walking anyway, right, it's

only going for a walk, right, anybody can walk. But

the clock in that that step calm later I saw

then after that, I was asking you why am I

feeling body aches? I never felt before? My wife look

at me. My wife is two years younger than me,

and she just said, what body aches? Let's go for

another twenty thousand steps right the kind And I was

in this well, this molittle Japanese bathtub that was meant for.

Slightly shotted people. So I squeezed myself in there.

I was asking fast Benji, like, what do I do

with my legs when I go into the bathtub because

I have to literally score it said that I can

only last about twenty seconds before the cramp and stuff

like that. But after I got used to it, I

was just in there, just thinking, friends, thinking, how did

I get to this place whereby twenty four thousand step

has caused my body to experience ache more needing to

Let's take a break, Let's let's sit down with a

part more right, let's time out. What happened to the

time whereby let's go for it. Let's walk until you

know can until two in the morning, not a problem?

How did I get to this place where but I

can't even read more than ten pages without having to

stop and look at my phone? How did I get

to this place whereby I am like that and sometimes

you don't take time to think about it. This is

what's so happened. Why am I hiding behind the baggages?

Why am I hiding where I had the equipment? Why

when God say I want to promote you to let

go to step up, why are we having this first

response that we are very hesitant to step up. We

keep saying oh, nod for me, not for me. This

this kind of thing is for Selena, right, this need

Selena can do it to me.

Right.

It's easy because you know, yes, Selena will take all

the bulletler with every new position, that new bullets for you,

aiming towards you. I'm not ministerry, Okay, it's bullets of love,

right Selena?

Right?

And yeah, And I need to understand when God reviews

the condition of sort of the heart, it's not for

us to say we work out so this is you know,

if I was born a better place and stuff that

It's not for us to complain about the soy because

every sword in God's hand is good. It's for us

to work the soy first and read certain things out.

And many times why we miss out destiny because we

keep saying love, but I've read the height behind the equipment.

I rather just focused on the work. But God is

focusing on our hearts. That's why I say discipleship is

really about allowing God to go deeper in our hearts

so he experience the spirit of God falling upon him.

You can read it from First imagechapter ten, verse ten

and eleven, verse six, saw friends twice came upon so

First of all, he prophesied friends so stronglier that people

thought he was one of the prophets. The spirit of

God came upon him, I think eleven verse six. He led,

He called the people, He led them as a nation.

The spirit of God came upon.

Soul so greatly.

But friends, with all the shaking, with all the experiences,

it did not change sauce heart. And sometimes we are

looking for the external experience so much, falling under the power,

getting goose bumbs, being.

Paid for by a leader.

All good friends, But greater is is that we are

allow God to go deeper. God can deliver you from

an evil spirit, yes he can, but it's still a

choice where they want to follow God and say, God,

I want to walk away from this. God can provide

for you, Yes, he can provide for you. But God's

provision friends will run out in that sense of that

whe day you finish them.

What's additude after that?

And many times in our life, friends, God says it's

not outwork alone. But I want to work at your

heart so that you can remain as king. So don't

chase after the external experience. Friends, don't Next time a profer,

don't come to our church. Don't don't don't, don't, don't

lie up in front of this. I want to work

from the Lord and chase after the external. If it comes,

it comes, it doesn't come, doesn't come. It's okay one,

because God's what is his direction.

Right.

If you someone pray for you, and people around you

are slain by the by the Holy Spirit, and you

happen people before you do experience anything, that's mean that

you didn't experience, right, So don't chase after the external experience.

But he said, focus on what God wants to do

in the hearts. That's equally more important. Focus on what

God wants to do in our hearts, in your hearts.

If you were so hiding my hand the equipment the

first he asked, why am I hiding? Samuel did not

ask and parate me, to shame me, to put me down.

See the tallest man here, the more censive one. He

didn't see that I wanted. In fact, you look at Samuel,

just say that this is the king that you asked for.

That's it. He does say he did not welcome Samuel,

like how we welcome the speaker.

In our church, Selena, right now have been execust for

the longest time, right, amazing lady, multi talented. When she

speaks you're afraid one, well, you don't do what she asked,

I should come after you.

She's not as a gangster. I'm fund we put your

heads together. Welcomes Selena like that.

Sorry, ah, I don't know what the up the right

our kidding?

That's not there. I would say, like why who wrote

all this?

Well things anyway, Samo did not just say this is

the king that you wanted, and.

Therefore let's pray for the king. But so was so afraid.

Finally is this let me see yah the tree.

We we cannot go deeper without sacrifice. We cannot go

deeper without making a sacrifice. We cannot go deeper in

the lot. I think many times in our life we say, yes, God,

I want to go deeper. Let's God go deeper. But

there has there must be an element of sacrifice, a

way for first seven, Chapter thirteen, five to seven. Right now,

the Phyllices gathered together to fight Israel. Thirty thousand chariots

and six thousand horsemen. The people as the sand which

is on the seashore in multitude. Basically, there are a

lot of philises there, and they came and came in

Mishmash at the east of beth Evan.

Verse six.

The men of isel Saw that were in danger for

the people were distressed. Then the people hit in caves,

in tickets, in rocks, holes, and in pits. There's a

situation right now. Your enemy is numbers are more than yours.

And the very people you're leading, the very army you're leading,

the threats is. It's not leading just a bunch of farmers.

This is a very army you're leading. Suppose God for war.

We can get frightened. And the Bible here says they

hit in caves, tickets, in rocks.

In holes, in pits.

And we're seven and some of the Hebras across the Jordan,

and some of the heroes across the Jordan and to

the land of Gad and Guilliad I saw was still

in Gigel Gilgel and all.

The people follow him were trembling.

Imagine right now you're a king leading a bunch of

people who were very afraid because of the number were

gains you. And sometimes that's what happened to us. Is

in it the simon that we asked to do almost

impossible was it that he waited seven days according to

the time set by Samuel friends. Saul knew that when Samuel,

if severne were to arrive within the seven days, meant

afraid to God that he will win the war. Saul

knew that if severe would have come within the seven

days and made the offering right, he'll win the war.

But the proper Samuel did not come to Gilgall, and

the people were scattered from him, which busy after the

seven day the proper Samuel do not come on time.

So he is the only one right now who's holding

this conviction that is seven with the mad the offering,

we will win this war. The people that he's leading

right now, we're not the same conviction. And that's why

they were afraid. The ies were towards the number of

the army of the Phylisines right now they were outnumbering them.

And he's the only one right now saw with the conviction.

And this was nice, sauls it bringing burn offering piece

offering to me and he made the burn off ring.

Now it happened as soon as finished presenting the burn offering,

Samuel came and so went out to meet him that

he might greet him.

And this is what Samuel said, What have you done so?

In Saul spine, I've done nothing wrong.

In Saul spine that all that I'm doing right now

is like you if you meet a piece of afraid.

I was to make a piece of off fring.

Sorry, so many arefering, but no power. You can make

a sacrifice of offering but no power. The sacrifice that

Saul could have done is in the waiting.

Do you know?

Sometimes it is a sacrifice to wait. But many primes

you don't see that as a sacrifice. We think sacrifice

is only about maybe perhaps giving up more of time, money,

of the money.

Possessions, but holding on to a conviction. It is a sacrifice.

You're saying no to others based on your conviction to

the Lord. You're holding onto it, dealing with your own

emotion when everyone have left you, when you're the only one,

would you still stand?

There is a sacrifice here? You're the only one.

The Bible says that people around saw was trembling someone

into hiding. If you're the only one, would you still stand?

You still hold onto his promise to say that God

is so real in my life When we don't deal

with what God has revealed the very same thing. The

issue that's been revealed reflected in the way we handle

our relationship with the Lord when we don't deal So

it was revealed that Saw was hiding behind the equipment, right,

I said a little. That was the thing whereby if

Saul were to dealt with that here, he won't experience

this because the call to be king was not made

by Samuel, was made by God. So you're calling in

your life, your journey friends, this light that you have.

It's not because our parents give us life.

God give us life, and we want to deal with

the issues that God has revealed to us. We wouldn't

be in the position of the place where by doing

something we shu, we are not caught to do doing

something we're not called to do. If we were to

deal with the issue that God has revealed to you,

you will not be in a place of position whereby

like Saw, offering up and offering which we're not supposed

to do in the first place. And because of the

impatient that we have sometimes our own life, we shortcut

the process of discipleship.

Enough, Lord, we gave up the journey.

We give up that that that that that the process

where God wants to develop us moral shapers. And that's

why sometimes why we couldn't see our destinies because of

our own respond to the soil that's been revealed in

our hearts, and finally they threads Mental Chapter sixty, verse

twenty four. Then Jesus said to his disciples, if anyone

decides to come after me, leting first, deny himself. There's

a part of us whereby we want to be in control,

in charge, you want to dictate. There's a part of

us like that. But when you encounter God, when you

encounter God, when you encounter God in your life, in

your heart, in your journey, there's one part of us

we have to say God, I want to come after you.

Then this public scripture, well you say that le him

first in himself, deny yourself.

It is a sacrist unto the Lord.

Say God, not my will, but your will be done.

Not my will, but your will be done.
