What do you have | Eld. Kien Yiak

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

We hope this message will light up your teeth.

Now Peter John went up together to the temple at

the hour prayer. At the ninth hour, a certain man

laying from his mother's room was carried whom they laid

daily at the gate of the temple, which is called beautiful,

to ask for arms and from those who enter the temper,

who sing. Peter and John about to go into the

temper and ask for arms, and fixing his eyes on him,

John Peter said, look at this.

So he gave them.

His attention, expecting to receive something from them. Now, then

Peter says, still and go, I do not have, but

what I have I give to you in the name

of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Rise up and walk. And

he took him by the right hand and lifted me

up and immediate his feet anchor bones received strength. So

he leaping south, walk and enter the temp b with

them liping, walking, lieping and praising God. And all the

people saw him walking and praising God. Now, this except

the Tree, is an amazing story of faith, whereby a

person equipper at birth experience God. I wanted us to

know and to remember that God still does move in

the supernatural. God still does move in the supernatural.

We have to believe it. Have we need to believe it. Imen.

So I know, I don't have a lot of time

this morning, as usually a part, I don't have time

one okay, for number one is this that don't go

to the temple alone. Do not go to the temper alone.

Very important for you and for me to understand this concept.

Except the tree was one say that Peter and John

went up to the temper and our prayer. I think

the Christian faith is an even looking faith. Amen, it's not.

It's not a person. It is a personal faith, but

it's not a favorite by. I live all by myself.

We need a bitter and we need a Peter or

join in our life, Amen, seld. Don't preach to me

about Peter and joining my life. You know my ex

boyfriend my name is John. I spoke to this, said

a shrieker Baga, and one girl said, yeah, elder, you're right,

I got a bitter in my life.

My husband name is Peter Maker.

Okay, but we do need someone, really, friends, we don't

need someone in our life. The encourages for us, for

us to have a bitter or join in our life,

we need to unpack. Everyone say unpacked friends, You and

I need to unpack me. Mission say that this is

my church, this is my home, this is my cell group,

this is my home. Many times why we don't have

a bitter and John is because it's never unpacked.

When people want to connect.

With us, we live very quickly. We give false number.

We say we're always not free, and we can go

on with our lives saying that we are not available

and come to a place whereby sometimes we are alone.

I remember a story where she was shard to me.

During COVID. One lady chaid with another person, uh, that

that that doesn't come to church on a frequent basis.

And so happened that time he had COVID and he

was all alone in his house, and this lady said that,

you see, I told you already to come to church

when I had COVID. My homies text me, call me up,

send me stuff to encourage me. Who do you have

And because though then gosh, she's not a leader, she went.

To say this.

You see, if you don't go to chat, you dialoge Hey,

this is this is the menu, community or refriends. All right,

stay stady, okay those tooll me those this is what

this is? This This is not leader telling a member game. See,

you don't go to church, you die alone. You need someone,

You need someone to pray with you.

She events say this, who's prying for you? Who do

you have come back to church?

I thought to myself, well, this is a making of

a good evangelist, Hea, who do you have?

Friends?

Many times people want to connect. I heard another person

sharing about their parents retirement age, and I asked the

how is parents handling retirement?

Would not good? I say, why?

They go to church, but they don't unpack, They don't

to meet people. They just come for service and leave

very quickly. Okay, I understand that. I can accept that.

So what else does the parents do every day? Just

lie down on the so far? I watch TV?

Then I asked the next question, so how is that

affecting you?

Elder? I want to move out because my parents is

speaking on me. They've got no friend, and so I'm

their friend. They got no friends. I am their friend.

I'm the community. Because I'm the community, They're telling this

committee what to do and she's in the later ties,

so I want to move out. But friends, we need

to unpack to have similar values and goals and desire

to serve and.

Grow our faith in God.

Really, we need to unpack just to have similar values

and goals and decided to serve God. Peter and John

where to the temper at three pm in the afternoon? Friends,

if Selena cough or three pm service for ex how

many of you will be here?

Praise? Halleujah? Amen?

Two hands, two hands, Sela, you got two prayer, I

get a Jesus me there hallelujah. Yes, that's how actually started.

And the rest of us are sleeping. Amen, praise got

to there as well. But you see the challenge for

three pm or elearnt pm or seven am in the morning. Friends,

it's really at the end of the day to have

saved values. Could you imagine going on a destination where

by different people got different values. I will shed to

me one time a girl people went to Corey for holiday,

and you know, two separate or one group, but two

separate values.

One with a budget with the aim of.

I want to see as many places as I can

not wrong, and another group with the aim is like

I really really want to enjoy the food of the land.

So one persons say, don't spend so much. Just eat

a bit here, eat a bit there. If you just

go on eating every store, the person say, no, can't.

When I go in there, I want to look at

the menu or want to see what's what is the

restaurant offerings, and I want the other ones they have

over there so I can check out my bucket least

let out.

Majority of them do.

Not really enjoy the trip because they were constantly fighting

rather to stop for lunch or whether just say just

have a piece of bread. Same values and goals CHPM

in the afternoon, Only people who have the same realues

and goals and motivation will all go to the tempe

of a trepm in afternoon, isn't it true?

Friends? To get people to cover service is one thing.

To get people to cover our prayer service at cheapf

is next level.

And many times in our journey, in our work with

the lot of friends, we think that we can survive

and just be fitful alone very hard because we are

our own masters. Sometimes we feel like it. We will

dress up, we'll give our best. But most times, friends,

if it's true to ourselves with your true to ourselves.

We don't always have the best of days. There are

some days, really that we just don't feel like coming

or preaching. Some days we feel extra sleepy. I was

texting my wife before I came here. I just said,

don't know why today I felt extra extra sleepy. I

felt very seldom fashed. I'm a morning person. I love

the mornings that we got five to day the money.

But today it was just extra extra sleepy. And I

was yawning through the whole type of worship. Right, it

was great. It's not because the prison of worship was bad.

It's just that I was.

Extra sleep your friends, right, maybe because today or was

one of those Sundays which I forgot to take one

little of coffee before I left my house. But all

of those days were But I just like I was.

I was like, I want to text pass I draw?

Can I get like draw the preacher? I just want

to go back to my ca, you asked, can just

preach like a drop of a head there. I just

really want to sleep for a while the day stress.

If given the choice, given the choice, we would like

to worship God in our bed room because comfortable and

stuff like that. Given the choice, stress, you will come

to church with our pants. It's comfortable. But first, God

has never been after a comfortable after a conviction. So

how do people come to a place whereby they share

the same values and goals and motivation. The answer is

in discipleship. Think about it, discipleship. Many times with our

journey friends, we think that you know being alone is good.

But let me share with you that we like to

read this scripture from uh for every wedding. Sorry it's

it's not it's not in the slights. But Ecclesias chapter

four words and I say two people are better than one.

Come on, two is better than one? Can we agree

with that too is better than one? And our Christian

faith we need someone with us no matter who we are,

whether we are a personal wealth of not educator or not.

We need someone in our life so that when one

when one for the other can reach out and help.

The Bible says, come on, but one for the other

person can reach up to help. Many times, our journey friends,

although no matter how great or fantastic a car we have,

whenever there is a trouble, friends, and you need the

car to be pushed the side of the road.

You know, it's hard to push a car by yourself.

So who do you have? Friends?

Two is better than one, for they can help each other.

Come on, help each other. Sometimes you don't feel like

going to church to worship God. That other person, come on,

it's gonna be all right. Sometimes we just don't feel

like doing this. The other person encourages us. But someone

who falls alone is really in trouble. The Bible says,

come on, it's some false alone. He's really in trouble.

And that's why the Christian faith was never meant to

be alone, never meant to be alone. We bunch be

part in the small Girls because we know that every

person here matters. When you're not well, you've got someone

to pray together with you.

Amen.

Likewise, two people lying close each together can keep each

other warm, warm friends, the warm of encouragement besides marriage. Okay,

he said, don't go and say aid me to look

for someone to sleep get married first, all right, But

the woman of encouragement. When was the last time you

encourage someone? When was the last time you say thank

you to someone? When was the last time that your

words bring something into someone's heart? A person standing alone

can be at A person standing alone can be attacked.

I'm living from reading for a new living translation. A

person standing alone can be attacked. Friends, if you knew,

if you knew, if you knew, if you knew, if

you knew that you're going to be attacked, you won't

be alone. Think about it. If you knew, if you

go to a particular place as dangerous, you keep your

person belonging even closer and tighter around you. Especially a

place is no food to have pickpocket. I'm not sure

whether you have your water stolen before in your life.

I had twice taking the public transportation, right, I thought

I learned from my mistakes.

Right getting up at the bus.

You know, people just take yourself away after the first time.

The second time, you're okay, it will never happen. It

will never happen.

But friends, such is life after a while ago out okay, six.

Months doesn't happen, and it's just one day whereby you

just happen to put your wallet at the back of

your pants. Then as you get on the bus and

you got something moved, and you go like.

Wow.

I thought to myself that the last time may happen

to me. I swear I put everything. Remind us never

to put my wallet at the back. But friends, there

are days whereby things become so routine, take things for granted,

we just put it at the back. Here getting on

the bus, they are sokering. You turn around and everybody's

looking at you, sing, please get on the bus.

First.

If you knew that you will be attacked, you will

not be alone. But many times the attack comes when

whereby we are not aware. So the Bible is reminding

us again. A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated,

but two can stand back, can stand back to back

and conquer friends conquered. So I pray that friends, that

in your life and in your journey, friends considered discipleship.

Because and this journey, I know you have one small

gools meet, one call for discipleship yesterday. Great to see

new faces in there. Our desire is not to grow

and have numbers our desires. So people to go deeper

with the Lord. Because with everything that comes your way,

if every question, everything that comes away, every challenge, it's

either going to help you to be more convinced about

your conviction or it's going to help me to loosen.

The conviction that you had every challenge that comes your way.

Right, it's either going to help me to be very

convinced this is my conviction, this is my Lord, this

is my Lord and Savior.

I believe in it, or it's going to loosen the conviction. Amen.

So the point number two is is that the temper

is not a place for needs to be met, but

it's also about how we can meet the needs of

the temper. A quieper man aper man creeper by birth

was being carried to the Temper on a daily basis,

so that he needs can be met by birth, every

day being carried to the temple. You got to imagine

this that you know, if someone don't carry me to

the temple, of my needs won't be met. Have we

got to a place whereby the Church must always the

Temper must always meet my needs? This trick got no community,

whichever just name of the church, No community, no fellowship,

no nothing, friends.

My needs are not met.

I come to a place where I'm so dependent on

other people don't carry me. It seems acceptable, understandable, even

compassionate to serve because of his situation. Do you don't

understand his background? You don't understand his background. He will

keeper at birth. Yes, we sympathize, to empathize with him,

we were stand but friends on a daily basis. The

more we allow the condition that we are in to

condition our mind, the more we move from faith to facts,

From faith to facts. You don't understand how hard is?

Friends have seen it a lot and so many times

doing church whereby people will come up to us and

say that it's hard. It's difficult only if you understand

running a good Friday service in Kuala Lumpo is crazy

out there. You know the traffic we are working in

PG have the drive all the way the umpum crazy. Yes, friends,

everything is challenging. But where is our faith? Where is

our faith? The more we entertain the condition that we

are in, the more we move from faith to facts.

Who doesn't know it's difficult.

Yes, everyone can tell is difficult, But first you've got

to have faith to believe. Because it God call us

to planet church in kl This is one of the

small prices that we have to pay.

Think about it for a moment.

Who doesn't know that doing an English is always easier.

We're doing it in bus out it's so hard. Who

doesn't know that everything else is. So it's so much

easier if a permanent place, you don't have to set

up anymore. Yes, but that's our calling.

This the end.

God has called us to this pathway. The Temper is

a place of faith.

Come on.

But we have allowed the different challenges in our lives

to see our lens. This is a place of faith.

It is you came to church. This is a place

of faith.

You know.

We never come here to our minds to gain knowledge,

but for our hearts to be filled with faith. But

the different challenges in our life have seched our as

to make the temper the place of facts. Good and

Doris in Germany in their slate sixties help us to

plan ex Germany not the easiest if you're in sixty

you're looking for for for a nice quiet retirement. But

God like good to start in, you know, friends, it's

now easy. I had the privilege of sharing a room

with him doing the retreat, and he was just sharing

with me that, you know, he still had to get

a job over there. So he wakes up about fortyeen

in the morning. I think his cycles to work for

an hour to get the job, to get to work,

and stuff like that. I thought to myself, Wow, team,

come on fortteen in the morning cycle to call a

LOOPO right then you can After that you can you

can enroll it out iron men.

After that you need to love the cycle.

I was like, wow, I can see if we connectivity there.

For your wife.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yet going to he's saying the hardest part of cycling

is during winter into his hardest part. Hard part was

really winter. But more than that, friends, that you know,

it's it's finding a.

Place to stay over there. God has that.

We prayed and know we saw different apartments didn't didn't

really work out, but God has opened the door for

us to have the right the apartment that was available

right opposite the university. And you know that this is

one confirmation we have if God is the one that

called people who have the place provided forward right. It's

expensive for that and the place that we have, the

living room is it's bigger than other units they have saw.

So the living room turned into a century for that

Sunday morning. That language group needs to be rich friends. Facts,

we just say that it's hard. Who's going to come

to your church. It's like entering a house like that

someone majority of the literatures are in English.

Facts.

Our pastor in Botswana Pasa Lazarus, recently he wrote to

us and just say that, you know, he has to

get a job because you know he's publishing business is

not doing.

Very well, so he has to get job. So we've

got a job.

I think in Victoria he drives about like an hour

and a half to two hours to go to work

and just come back to his family in Botswana. But

in these text of Earth is just say it's all good,

don't worry, God will come true.

Faith. It's very easy to say, well, there is so

hard to do church. You know, I'm not a local

residence here, so therefore need it's it's it's very easy

to go by facts. It's hard. It is. It's hard, friends,

when our heart is not filled with faith. That's the way.

It's very easy to go with with facts. Difficulty, every

challenge is, everything is hard. Don't forget that we're in

the spiritual business. Don't forget that I want to use

a business. Don't forget we're in the spiritual business. Friends,

spiriture I share to you before, because I'm gonna share

with you again. There are people that's going to come

to up and saying that Selena please come to my

house because I think my room needs to be clear

ends of evil spirit. I remember one time that we

were invited to explore possibility of plotting a church in

East Timo or Timo Leste. Before that, the group went

to East Timo friends, we had the briefing, the with

the with our local contact over there. They say, hey,

this is coming from briefing. We want to brief view

of some things because that part of the country is

very steep into, uh, the spiritual realm. So I want

you to know that you don't have to be afraid

of anything, right because we are under the covering of

love of Jesus. So nothing will, nothing will come upon

you as long as you just fix.

Your eyes of Jesus.

Okay, not on anything else, because there were there were instances.

There were days whereby they have to go to different

village and uh the rich doctor over there, we have

different things stuff like that. So our team went pastor

went together with a few other leaders. I remember what

the sharing they came back was the enter leaf they

enter left and so there's someone there in the leaf

choir sitting at the back there standing at the back there,

but you know.

Because.

We are Christian, the person just couldn't put any charm

or any curse. Don't forget we're in the spiritual business.

I shared with you before, I'm going to share with

you again. The other faith or other religion who that

was in the spiritual realm, they acknowledges this a lot

that Christians are always covered with the light. The like

one time one of our partners got into a car.

The car was filled with already her friend's friend was

mediums and no fortune teller. Friend's friend okay, mediums and

fortune teller, and and my friend and my mom were

just trying to go into the car like normally you

get in the car on the road trip, and the

other fortune teller and medium was trying to see into

a spirit that had been I tried to see into

a spirit because this is what they like to see

this in other people's spirit and tell of the impending

disaster or fortune you'll come your way. But after time

five five times means they're very surprised they couldn't see anything.

Then her friend who's a Christian driving the car and

just look at their faces and he immediately knew what

they were trying to do already, and just say, guys,

you cannot see anything on You cannot see anything.

She's a Christian. You can't see anything. She's a Christian.

All they saw was a bright light, a bright light.

And I want to encourage you first, there's nothing to

be fearful of, be afraid of. But don't ever forget

that we are in a spiritual business speech and business friends,

and the moment. We could go on with facts. And

that's why we always hit the war. Second continents, sept

the tense three says that we do not walk in

the do we walk in the flesh. We do not

war according to the flesh. For the weapons our warfare

and not Connah, mighty in God pulling down stronghold. Come on,

our weapons our warfare are not Connah but mighty in

God in pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments, and every

high thing that exhausts itself against the knowledge of God,

bringing out, bringing every thought into captivity of the obedion

of Christ. Second containers pause, reminding us again that we

do not which war according to the flesh.

It's not.

The flesh is very tempting to lure you into to

drag you in thinking that this is the flesh. It's

a physical argument, it's it's disagreement by what the reminders

again that we can pray.

Ificient.

Chapter six US Trail says that we do not wrestle

against flesh and learn, but against the principalities, against the powers,

against the rulers and darkness of this age, against the

spiritual hosts of weakedness in the heavenly places. Therefore, take

up the whole armor of God. Come on, why is

the armor? Therefore frets and armor? Is not for us

to have an armor to put into the museum to

admire it too, Mary Christians has too many armors in

their own house to be admired. Come check out my armor, Aposiship.

Every other Sunday, armor is given to Earth for us

to use. Too many of us here are buying place.

And maybe one day I will use that play that bove.

Maybe one day I'll use the civil ware that above.

Maybe one day I will take up the dress and

wear it.

Maybe one day.

But the Bible here says that take up the whole

armor of God, so that you're able to stand the

evil day friends.

If you know that these are evil friends. If we

are avoided.

Come on, if you know the policeman is right at

the corner there, try to catch people using the handphone.

One hundred percent none of us here will be using

our handphone. And that's a fact.

Right.

But if you happen to have no knowledge of any

policeman and phone call comes and you look left and

look right, and you thought it's safe you use a handphone.

That's why I say that. If you if you know

that these are evil friends, if we will avoid it,

just like how majority of us here a white certain

veshable because we think it is bad.

Right.

We know of artist partner who are white, vegetable like

like like like the veshabook or disease like older. I

don't take vestionable my entire life. I please take my salad.

No no, no, no non, Just take my salar dough,

take the garden shaping, the cucumber, tak the tomatoes away,

Just give me the meat. I know one partner of

friends who will never take anything purple in color ring

jaw a white strange cabbish purple color a white friends.

He's Indian by birth. He he says to me that

he avoids even banana. I don't like banana taste. I said,

where the hell ROTI how.

Everything else?

I'm like Rea you No, No, I'm conventional Indian. I

ever know because everything other people like you don't like.

He likes Jacob biscuit in Meggie Me Jacob Biscuits. How

in Jacob Biscuit with Meggie Me Jacob biscuits, crim Cracker

in Meggie come one No, no, yes, no, majority no.

Right. If it was to you, you will like, huh no, we.

Were what it's like evil dare right, We're awided right

because it's true. And that's why the Bible here say,

if you know the days that even if you know

what surfe do you want?

You don't like be avoided? Right?

I know some people are better God because they hear

they were better because he's.

Not the friend of the spirit. Sorry, Lime Joe.

But if you know the days of if you know

those days that evil were avoided. But friends evils is

so deceptive, so deceptive, deceptive, it just comes as a

top first creep into our system, becomes a tree. The

river says, having done us to stand, there is power.

Declaration of scripture by faith, Come on, there is how

in declaration of scripture by faith.

My final point is that what do you have?

I came up with this message because one day that

the lot just reminded me about legacy, and not so

much about leaving a legacy just for children, but really

to think of what are we're passing on. I know

we have things that we inherited, like you know, different

teaching stuff from our parents and stuff like that. If

you have tuple ways that we our parents give us

and stuff. I'm not talking about that.

I'm talking about really like, you know, what do you

have spiritually?

The principles of faith that you pass on to someone else.

I'm not talking about giving the Bible of friends. I'm

talking about principles of faith that you live by at

the end of the day that you pass and say

this our daughter, this works. Just let me show to you,

Peter says, see where and God I do not have,

but what I do have a gift to you.

Come on. What I do have I give to you.

So, friends, as we're going to close very soon, what

do you have spiritually in terms of the principle of

faith you're living on? Because many times in your journey, friends,

we know of different things. We know of the world.

But we don't live out the world. And that's why

it has never become rude. It has never We never

live out the principles of faith. I come to a

place of my life whereby I need to learn even more. Friends,

see many times we want the principle of faith, but

what I do have comes from a life who understands authority.

This is my last scripture, the centure.

Answer and say, Lord, I do not I'm not worthy

that you should come under my roof. But only speak

the word and my servant will be healed. Come on,

only speak the word and my servant will be healed.

Friend is the central who understands when someone who is

an authority.

Speaks, something happens.

What I do have council understanding authority understanding, who has

a finer say? And no matter what we have going

in our lives, the challenges and all of us here

do go to challenges. We do very different challenges. Why

we all go to challenges as I close friends, the

Bible say, Hugh, and you're to the end will be safe.

As I close friends.

If you look at the center in life, we understood

and Jesus spoke, something happened. But sometimes we understand. Although

we understand, when he speaks, something happens friends, whereas Plan B,

planc and plenty. So the centuancy reminding us again in

worse nine, for I'm also a man under authority. So

what I do have I give to you come from

my life who understands authority. Understand that the Lord is

my savior, My Lord.

We hope you've been blessed by this message. For more

information on our church, please visit as church org. We

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

hit for you.

God bless
