God Has His Eyes On You | Elder Terence Atkinson

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

will light up your tea, you know, at start of this morning by

just telling you a story. You know, several years ago, Oka,

quite a number of years ago, this would have been ninety almost thirty three

years ago, I had just joined a manufacturing company. It was a company

that they were dealing in pipes, you know, plastic pipes, and it's

an extrusion process, meaning that you know, you do certain things and then

the machine pulls these pipess and then they cut it at lengths, so all

your water pipes, and that's what it was. So I joined them,

not because I'm into manufacturing, but because I was the accounting manager, right.

So what it happened was that during that time, this is nineteen ninety,

there was a worldwide shortage of resin. Resin is that white powder which

with heat converts into plastic, the plastic that you know, it's used to

make the pipes. So and you couldn't get it anywhere. Most of this

resin came from Europe, from Germany, but you just couldn't get it because

it was sold out all over the world. So my boss was fretting,

and he didn't know what to do. Of course, I was just about

maybe two weeks at the company, and I was taking a walk at the

store and I had to look at the bag, and I saw all these

plastic pipes, damaged pipes. Of course, you know, in the process

of doing these pipes, the first plastic that comes out doesn't come out as

a pipe. He's going to continue for little is wastage. The started starting

is wastage. So there was, you know, a lot of this is

the back. So I went up to him and said, correct me if

I'm wrong, but this plastic is one hundred percent recyclable, is it not.

He said, yes, it is. Then I said, look at

the back of the store. Would you say you have five hundred tons of

wastage down there? He said yes. Then I told him you keeping this

wastage as it is is costing you twenty thousand ring it a month in financing

charges because you are raising Elsie's letters of credit to bring resin from overseas.

So you've got all that you need. Why are you not doing anything about

it? He calls the operation manager and in front of me, he tells

the operation manager this guy's been here for two weeks, and how come he

can tell me this? And you have been here here for years and you've

not seen this, or what use of you to me? And from that

day onwards, she had her eyes on me, and it wasn't a good

look. Okay, it wasn't a good I don't like to get people in

trouble. I never knew that. I just you know, I never meant

to get her into trouble. But from that day onwards she had it in

for me. One day she called me up. She says, you know,

Karen's look at the spacepaper basket called wasted inside there from the photo statting

machine. You know, I've got this friend. You know what she'll do.

She will count a number of papers, and then she will divide the

costs and collect it back from the workers. So I said, this is

one accountant who's got no work to do, because for me to count this

paper costs more than the cost of money that I can recover from the paper.

So that's some more lucky gram. And then I realized that she was

the mistress of the boss, and I knew I was in trouble. When

the wife used to call me up and ask me where the husbands whereabouts were?

So then I said, Lord, find me another job, and he

did, and somebody called me. And you know, most of the jobs

when I went looking, I didn't apply. Somebody called me. Hey,

I've got to say, thank you very much. The Lord has answered my

prayer. You want to know something, Why did I take that job?

You mean to say, God couldn't. I told me, no, don't

take this job. Most of us when we ask God this question, should

we take the job or not, and then we tell ourself God told me

not to take it. No, no, no, no, it's not

God's will. Let me tell you something about God's will when it comes to

worker. If you don't work, don't eat. That's God's will. So

any job that is not thieving or stealing or doing criminal acts, already you

got God's answer. God's answers, yes, take the job. The only

time you don't take the job is he will specifically tell you don't take the

job. So anyway, when I left this company, the boss said,

if ever you're looking for a job, and even if I don't have a

position, come and see me. I'll create one for you. But I

left, and that was thirty years ago. Why am I telling you this?

Well, today's message is God has his eyes on you. God has

his eyes on you. Hmm. God's looking at us, you know.

In Psalms thirty three, verse eighteen, he says, behold, the eye

of the Lord is on those who fear him. You fear the Lord.

God's looking at you, and on those who hope in his mercy. So

we're gonna talk a little bit about that. But I want you to I

want to share something with you from the Zulu language. How many of you

know Zulu? Would you know? No? Our sisters from Africa? Do

you know Zulu? Okay? Do you know this word sau bona? Have

you heard it before? Do you know what saubona means. It's a greeting

in Zulu, and I love this. It's very scriptural. It means this,

I see you. I mean, I just don't see your form.

I see who you are. You are somebody special to me. So in

other words, every time you greet somebody, you're saying I see who you

are. You're so special to me. Everything that you are I notice,

as opposed to most of us in our English greeting Hi, Hi, Hi,

until today don't know the name Hi meaningless of no value. But when

somebody greets you and says saw bona wow, be are letting you know you

are special to them. God wants you to know that you are special to

him. Now, God's eyes, God's God is eye on you. Okay.

The Bible says the eye or the eyes of the Lord, go to

and fro Okay, does God have eyes? You and I have eyes?

But does God have eyes scripture? When Scripture is talking about eyes, oh,

that means God is a being like me. No, man, it's

not. It doesn't mean that. You know, God is a spirit.

He is not physical. So to understand about these eyes and what it does,

I just need to cover a little bit of ground with you, all

right, to give it some context. God is a spirit. He is

not like you and me. When the Bible says you and I were made

in the image and the likeness of God, it's talking about the makeup of

the spirit. The kind of values that God has is in us. He's

made us like that, He's made us to be like him. If you

see how many of you have seen some children they look at that this,

this man, this man must be your father. And how you know it's

not just a face. The mannerism is exactly like that, you know.

So it's that's what it means. God is physical, He is not a

spirit. Also, it offers some insight into what is important to God.

Right the last time I shared with you, you know what's important to God.

So now when God is God is aye on us? What does it

mean? It means something of importance, something that that's important to God.

You know it It is explained in a way that we understand. You see,

if we if it's didn't use things which we know, how would we

understand. Scripture speaks in a language so that we can comprehend what the Bible

is trying to say, what the Word of God is trying to say.

So it is explained in ways that we understand. When God is God is

iron us, it's Scripture explaining it to us in a way that we can

make sense of. And lastly, it is to bring us hope. It

is to bring us hope. You know, God is always God has always

got our best interest at heart. You know the world is trying to destroy

you. You know that. How many of you know that Europe is preparing

for war? Have you read that Europe is preparing for war. Why is

euro preparing for war? Well, as I understand it, some of the

missiles in some of the equipment given to Ukraine has been used to directly bomb

Russia, and Russia said it won't stand for it. So basically it has

worn that it is willing to use nuclear weapons. Europe is actually bracing for

it. I'm not putting fear in your heart. I'm just letting you know.

This is the world that we live in today. And that's why I

will remind you. What does scripture say, pray for the peace of Jerusalem.

What has this got to do with Jerusalem? Well, if Russia does

succeed in Ukraine, it will have more courage to go after Israel. And

Scripture has said that Russia has always been interested in Israel. What is the

bad the bear? Right? Scripture speaks of Russia as the bear. So

pray for the peace of Jerusalem, because when Jerusalem is at peace, so

will we Okay, So it is to bring us hope. Now, what

do God's eyes do? God's eyes must do something. What do our eyes

do? They see? Right? Is that all they do? They catch

the attention of girls. I tell you this is the truth. Okay,

I'm not lying to you. When I was studying in Singapore, you know,

I had some people just join my school, all right, and I

had these girls. They would come up to me and they would look at

me, and you know, they would just look at me. So one

day I asked them, what's up with this? Why are you doing that?

Oh? You know, there's a story going around the schools that if

you come to this school, look for the hit prefect and when you see

the hit prefect going, look at his eyes. They're gorgeous. No need

to laugh so hard. Okay, it is the truth. It's the truth.

It actually happened, you know. But they didn't they didn't get anywhere

with me, all right, But this is the truth. So what do

God's eyes do? Does God flash his eyes that? You know, God's

not about that, but I want you to know it's plain and simple,

all right. God's eyes see, they see God's eyes also look. God's

eyes also look. And lastly God's eyes watch. Now are these three things

all conclusive? Complete? No? There are so many aspects of this and

I'm not going to go into each and every aspect. Neither am I going

to go into each and every meaning of the word. I'm not but God.

When I was praying and you know, asking God for a message,

God said, I've got my eyes on you. I've got my eyes on

you. So I was asking the Lord, Lord, is this the message

you want me to share? And immediately I was listening to gospel music.

The next song that I heard was talking about seeing the eyes of the Lord

are seeing. And I said, okay, God, I got the message.

So I went and said, God, what you want me to share?

He says, my eyes see, they look and they watch. Okay,

So God's eyes see. What do God's eyes see? What does God

see? In Luke twenty two or twenty two look twenty three, verse thirty

nine, it says, then one of the criminals who were hanged blesphemed him,

saying, if you are the Christ, save yourself and us. But

you know that other scripture says that both the criminals on the cross, on

the left and right, ridiculed Jesus. It was just just one of them.

It was both of them. But something happened along the way, something

changed one of them, because in verse forty, it says, but the

other answering rebuked him saying, do you not even fear God? Seeing you

are under the same condemnation. What was the scripture? I said, the

eyes of the Lord are on those that fear him. He is now asking

this other criminal, do you not even fear? What is he saying?

I fear? I fear, so I'm not going to condemn him. That's

what he's saying. And then he says, do you not even fear God?

Seeing you are under the same condemnation? And then I love this.

He says this in verse forty two. Then he said to Jesus, Lord,

remember me when you come into your kingdom. Oh I'm getting chills now,

remember me when you come into your kingdom. And there was another song

that I was listening to recently, and it's talking about this. It's singing

about these two criminals. And when one of the criminals said that, and

Jesus looked at him, the criminal said, I can see paradise in your

eyes. Brought tears to mine. You know, I'm a big baby this.

Actually it is songs like this that get to me. You know,

that touched my heart. Don't knock country in Western music, by the way,

how many of you dislike country in Western music, don't put up your

hands, don't knock it, because some of the greatest songwriting stories are in

country in Western music. There's another one that I've been listening to, and

it says that I appeared before the judge, and the judge looked at me

and said, it looks like you're guilty. Do you have anything to say

for yourself? Then he looks at the judge and he says, no,

I have nothing to say. And at that moment, Mercy walked in,

and he said, when Mercy walked in, he placed the blood over my

sin. And the judge looked at me and said, you're free again.

Tears to my eyes. Okay, so that's why I will not play these

songs in front of you, because I'll be bowling like a baby. So

Lord, remember me when you come into your kingdom. And then Jesus said

to him, and we always get this wrong, we we we believe Jesus

just said it like this. Surely I say unto you to day you will

be with me in Paradise. No, this is not how Jesus said it.

If you want to understand just what it meant for Jesus to say that,

you gotta get into Jesus' shoes. You gotta understand the pain that he

was in. You gotta understand that now he was whipped to within within inches

of his life, and the nails in his hands, and he could barely

breathe because of the way he was strung up. And maybe it might have

sounded something like this. Shortly, I say to you today you will be

with me in paradise. Do you know that this is what Jesus did for

us? It's amazing when you can understand the context and the meaning and the

and the way in which Jesus answered him. He's answering us that way.

So when any one of us say, Jesus, remember me, it's as

if in his darkest moment, in the moment where he was in the greatest

of pain, in the moment where it's it was his weakest, he could

still look and say, today you will be with me in paradise. I

want you to know what does Jesus see? He says faith. The moment

somebody has faith, he's caught the attention of Jesus. It's not difficult to

get Jesus to see you. But will you and I believe him? Will

you and I cast our faith on him, and then his attention gets square

on you, and he sees you Jesus soul bonner us. He doesn't see

us for the wretched people that we are, because you and I we're not

that great. He doesn't see us for our failings. Hey, man,

he's not interested in that, because when he was at his worst, and

when we were at our worst, he still say, today you will be

with me in paradise. So, man, he's not interested in in how

bad you see yourself. You know what's he's interested in. Communicate with him.

You look at him and you say a simple prayer of faith, and

he sees you. There's another portion in scripture where somebody caught his eye in

Mark twelve forty one. Now Jesus said, opposite the treasury and saw how

the people put money in the treasury. This is the normal kind of sea,

right, This is the sea without it makes no difference. This is

not saurbona. This is just you know, parapheral vision, the something you

see. And many who were rich put in much, okay, But there

was a lady who put in two copper mites. Then he says, hey,

look at her. She's caught my eye. I see her for she

put in everything. Oh, it's so easy to get to love the Lord.

It's so easy to get the Lord's direction. And we think we have

to do so much. Put aside all our skills, put aside, all

our talents, put aside all the things we think we do for him.

But just say Lord. Why do you think I pray this prayer every time?

I share that Lord, not my words, but yours, because even

I don't want to hear what I have to say. It doesn't make a

difference in my life. It doesn't help me when I'm in troubled times.

But I'll tell you this, when I share the word with you, I'm

listening, and when I run into trouble, I remember God, and He

comes through every time. Every time, Guys, you and I, we

need him to come through for us every time. I don't know what you're

going to go through, and I don't even know what I'm going to go

through. But I do know this that when I'm struggling, I'm going to

say Lord, remember me, say Lord. Remember it wasn't a profound prayer.

It wasn't one of those long prayers that we pray. Twenty five minutes

where we are telling God why he should act. That's not fake. You

don't tell God why he should act. Faith in him is just knowing that

He will come through for you. And sometimes when you run into difficulty,

you will have only enough time to say Jesus right, that's all you have.

On Thursday, Thursday, I was driving driving up the road and I

was driving up the road. You know that you come up the subank toll

and then you turn you keep to the left, and then you go up

the flyer. When that flyerver takes you into subank, right goes straight past,

and then you will see s GMC on your left and you continue to

go straight. Well, anyway, there's a curve there, so I also

was going fast line. You know, I was taking that curve fast.

When I took that curve fast, all of a sudden, right in front

of me there was this proton I think the proton the car died. That

car died, and then the kind behind it tried to avoid move to the

left, and then four cars slammed into him. And as I came up,

the cars were just slowing down and I missed it and said, praise

the Lord, thank you, praying every morning and asking you to look after

me because I don't have the driving skills. I always tell God, God

my driving skills, anything can happen. But with you, I'm okay,

you got to help me. I've been driving now for thirty years. Does

it mean I have skills? Probably? But does it mean I rely on

the skills. No. Because there's someone who can see around the corner which

I cannot see, and he helped me this morning. I'm sorry I came

a little bit. I always come. I always want to be here for

the morning prayer. Somehow today I say, oh, I know how to

get to a bungeee, I don't need waste. They don't laugh. Okay,

I know this is a reverse story. Again, I'm gonna tell you

a different type of story. Okay. So yeah, you know, the

last few times I've come here, I've not used waste very convolin. I

know how to drive. This time, as I was driving down the road,

I had a prompting in my turn ways on. I said, I

don't need to turn based on I know how to go turn ways on.

So I turned on waste and Wrays took me told me to turn left.

When I should have gone straight, told me to turn left, added on

twelve minutes. Okay, but I felt there must have been a reason,

so I turned left. And when I turn left, I looked at the

road. You know, it shows you all the way goings, all deep

bread stuck. The Lord saved me from this horrible thing. Why because I

pray every morning and say, Lord, get me to the other side safely.

That's my prayer every morning. I want you to know that we need

to get Jesus to see us. It's very important. We need to get

Jesus to see us. It's only one thing that attracts Us, attracts him

in our direction. What was that man? He said, you don't need

to come, You don't need to come, You just say the word,

my my child will be here here. And then Jesus said, never have

I encountered such great faith. It caught the eye of the Lord. Then

he says, go your faith. Because of your faith, your child as

well. Your life will never be the same again. If every time Jesus'

sight is drawn to you because you have faith in him. Let's move on.

What does Jesus see He sees faith. It catches his attention Jesus also

sees sacrifice the lady with the two mines. Okay, let's move on to

the second point. God looks. Isn't look in this and see the same?

No, not necessarily see his attention? Look is now a little bit

more. What's the word intentional? How many of you, when you are

working, and your and your and you have a position in the company,

say I am seeing for an accountant. Do you ever use those words I'm

seeing for an accountant. What do you say, I am looking for an

accountant, Craig? Do you say I'm watching for an accountant? M a

ah, And and unless your English is very, very bad, you will

not say that right. You don't say I'm seeing for an accountant. I'm

watching for an accountant. What do you say I am looking for I'm looking

so God looks and when I when and I try to understand what this meant.

It speaks of an intentional act on God's part. You mean to say

God thinks intentionally? Do you think he does things by chance? Everything that

God does is intentional. It's just a question of whether we discover it earlier

or not. We think, oh wow, Lord, it's a miracle.

God is saying, no, I've always made this to take place. Now,

No, only you're seeing it, you get it. So we call

things miracles because we don't see as God sees. But if we see as

God sees as natural, it's nothing special to the Lord, is just part

and parcel of his being. So Luke speaks of searching, okay, it

speaks of an active finding. He is God actively looking for something. I

think he is. It is to find for a use. It's very purpose

driven. Do you know that when God looks, it's not because he's got

nothing better to do. You know, when I was young girl and I

was in Singapore and after school, we will just go to McDonald's in Orchard

Road, lay at Towers. Now I think it's Burger King. So anyway

we would go there. We would buy a big Mac. You know how

much a big mac was then three ring it and ninety five cents now how

much a big mag is now? In fact, America is considering it a

luxury food. You know that. Yeah, anyway, we would sit and

we would just look at people pass. That was our past time. Yeah,

just is God like that. God's not like us. He doesn't waste

time. That's wasting time. Right. God is very intentional. When God

is looking, he is looking for something, for someone, for you.

He's looking for you, He's looking for someone. He's looking for something.

Very purpose driven. You know, we talk about all these managerial terms of

purpose driven. Hey, where did they get it from? They got it

from our God. Our God is very purpose driven. Everything he does is

intentional. And I get this, Get this, I love this one.

It is to fill a vacant position. No, God's like the big employment.

Employment agency is the big employer in heaven, and he is looking for

someone to use. It's needs based. It's very very specific, very very

specific. God's looking for us. And you know what's the funny thing.

God finds us, you know, and he says, I want you to

do that, and you know what, you say, no, no me

Lord. When God found Moses, what did Moses say, send somebody else?

Then God said, no, I'm sending you. Then he says,

but I cannot talk. Then he says, I'll give you Aaron. Then

he said something else, and God really got angry. He was testing God.

Hey, when God is looking for someone and it comes to you and

he says I want you, you cannot afford to say no, because remember,

God is very purpose driven. Your dreams will be fulfilled by doing what

God tells you to do. So you have got dreams, you've got desires,

you got once, all right, and how do you get it done?

By doing what God tells you to do? What does scripture say?

Seeking first the Kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added?

Unto you, It's like free gifts. Luck. I like this word edit

because when you buy the actual product, huh, then they add this.

Okay, I'm man, I give you a mouse, then I man,

I give you the bag. No, man, I give you the program

or edit value added? Hey, seeky first, the Kingdom of God and

all these things should be added, And you cannot afford to say no.

How many us have said no to God, you know, Elder Mabel and

myself. And when Pastor asked us to do you know what, we said,

no need to give us name love, We will just do the work.

You know, no need to give us a position, past I said,

No, with position comes the anointing to do the job. And by

the way, I forgot to mention earlier past the kendem past the sender said,

you're your love and your greetings, so make sure that's in there.

I've you know, carried the message across. But so he said, no,

with the name comes the anointing. When Elder Mabel and myself join ex

church. You know what, we told Pastor, no need to give us

position. You know what, you need someone to clean the church, wash

the toilets. We are the people, we actually because in our church that's

what we did. We all took turns to clean the church, vacuum the

church, wash the toilets, cleaned the toilets, and we told Pastor,

yeah, we'll start off with that. You see, it's not about what

we want for us as what God wants for us. It's never about you

and me. It's always about what God wants. I want to share with

you this then Jesus Matthew ten thirty five said. Then Jesus went about all

the cities and religious teaching in their synagogues, preaching the Gospel and the Kingdom,

and healing every sickness and every disease among the people. You know what

this means. This means that Jesus had been everywhere. Jesus had seen a

lot of things. Jesus was now experienced, well versed with what was happening

in the world. That's what this means. But then in verse thirty six

is but when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion for them

because they were weary and scattered like a sheep, like like sheep having no

shepherd. Do you know that you can have compassion, But it doesn't mean

anything. It doesn't help unless you do something. If you don't do something,

compassion is just a feeling that you pat yourself on the shoulder and say,

yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm apathetic. So what the next verse

then he said to his disciples, the harvest truly is plentiful. This is

Jesus seeing Okay, the harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few.

What's he looking for he's looking at He's looking for laborers for the harvest.

He's looking for laborers for the harvest. Who are the laborers for the harvest?

And verstity is therefore, pray the Lord of the harvest to send out

laborers into his hovest. I guarantee you if you pray. I challenge you.

If you pray and you ask God to send out laborers into the harvest,

you know what he'll say, Well done, my son, well done,

my daughter. Go. I have sent you preach this message some time

ago. He will send you, he will send me. You know,

I've been sharing with you that my heart is now to reach out to people,

you know, to share with them the word. And a couple of

weeks ago, I met up with an old colleague of mine. She's a

very very good friend, very we're very close as colleagues get. We've done

a lot of projects together successfully, and the mayble knows so also. We're

good friends. And I after one and a half years, I met up

with her. Then, when I did meet up with her, I said,

I have it in my heart to tell you something said I don't want

you. One day, when you meet Jesus, you tell him. Why

did Terence say anything? At that moment, I shared with her my testimony.

I shared with her how I came to know Jesus. I shared with

her why it is important for her to know Jesus. I shared with her

the testimony of that friend of mine. If you run into trouble, call

on the name of Jesus and he will come and he will help you.

I said, I want you to know there is someone who will help you.

His name is Jesus. I have shared it with you, and I'm

willing to help you know him. But that decision to know him is for

you to me. But I don't want that if anything happens to you,

you meet them Lord and you say, why didn't Terence say anything? You

know my eyes. I've told you my homes. You know what we want

to do. Now we're inviting neighbors. Go one are the days when we

try and invite friends, because you know what the stories that scripture says.

They were invited to come to the wedding, the first ones you invited the

wedding of who the family members, the friends, and they all said,

I have other things to take care of. What did Jesus say? Next?

Go into the highways and the byways and force them to come in.

Hey, the people who are close to you sometimes don't value what you're trying

to get through. Hey, there's still a lot of people out there who

need to know who Jesus is. The labors are few, and God is

looking for something. He's looking for someone who's Hey. You, When we

talk about missions, missions is not necessarily going to another country, going to

another state, yeah, it is that. It is that, but it's

not necessarily the only thing. You know, what is missions. Go into

the world and preach the gospel. Where's the world? The world is not

your home. The moment you step out of your home, guess what you're

in the world? Share ah, you know, you want to be able

to share with that person in you know, timbaktu. Share with the person

who's next door to you. First, talk to them. Speak to them.

Therefore, pray to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into

whose harvest He's harvest. Jesus is coming soon, man, And by the

way things are going, is coming real soon. Those of you who are

younger, I may just miss it. I may just go to sleep.

El the mable may just go to sleep. But those of you who are

younger may not sleep. You may be around to witness the second coming of

the Lord Jesus Christ. Hey, don't put it as a Just study scripture

and look at what's happening in the world today, and you will start to

realize you need to get ready. Okay. The last sight that we're talking

about this morning is watching. Watching. Do you know that watching is much

deeper than just looking for it's a it's a deeper level of sight. How

many of you know this term watching out? Four? Yeah, thank you

for watching out for me. It was so nice of you to watch out

for me. Watching out speaks of a deeper level of care. It speaks

of a great care and concern. Yesterday we had tea for two in uh

Neili. Ta for two is this marriage and Richmond program for married couples and

for soon to be married couples. And I believe one of these days we'll

be doing it for ambang Tu. Right, yeah, very soon. Hey,

it's great. It's great, great stuff, not because of us,

but because it is great when you hear what God has to say. So

you know what, It took me two hours to drive there yesterday. Oh

my, he was raining heavily and I thought, so I was supposed to

go to Nila Hub. All right, So I give you another time because

every time I go to Neila to share it takes me about forty minutes together

forty five minutes. Then when I put on ways aways it two hours.

Huh. So I told Elmberl, hey the hub must be actually Neelilah.

So we drove and or should I say we crawled and we crawled, and

we crawled, and we crawled and crawled and find me. Ah, that's

where Nila used to have church things, says. It's just a short way

away from it to me two hours together. But you know what was wonderful

as I turned the corner, Joshua, Joshua from Neelai was waiting there with

an umbrella, and he was watching out for us. First words, Elder

Mabel was said, was such great honor, so honorable to do that,

to watch out for us, to make sure we got there. Okay,

watching out for I want you to know what this watching out for his greater

concern, you know, and you know what, it's a deep concern for

our welfare. Do you know that Jesus has a deep concern for our welfare.

He's really interested that we're okay. I mean, when you sure can

concern to your children or your friend, you cannot fathom the levels of care

and concern that Jesus has for us, because nothing comes close. In Luke

fifteen twenty, it says and he arose and came to his father, but

when he was still a great way off, his father saw him and had

compassion and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him. Hey, I

know the scripture says so, but you know, before the father saw him,

what was the father doing watching out for him? The father's direction and

eyes were in the direction that he left. Who is this? This is

there prodigal son? The You know, what is the meaning of the word

what prodigal? Wasteful? Is the wasteful son who walked away, walked out

on his family, went to do his own things. But that father watched

out for him. And when the father saw him, what catches God's attention?

Faith? It took faith for that son to say, I will go

to my father and say I have sinned and I am not worthy to be

called your son. But you see he's turning and walking back. What was

that faith? And what happened? The father was watching out for him,

and the father saw him. And how did the father respond to that faith?

Did he wait for the sun to come all the way? I mean,

if it was us, Are you walked out? You come back?

Why not? Huh? A lot of us and the old fashioned parents are

Hey, you are the one who walked out, you walk back? List

why I gotta go and look after you? But that's not God Man,

that's not the God that we love and trust and have faith in, the

God that we have faith in is watching out for us. How wonderful is

that? How many people can say that God is watching out for them?

Only believers can, and we take him for granted. Sometimes, let's not

take God for granted while he was far away, way off. What does

it mean to have God watching out for us? Do you know that no

weapon formed against should prosper? In your business when things don't seem to be

going well and other people are trying to undercut and steal and back by them

what the scriptures say? No weapon formed against shall prosper? Prosper? You

know that God is watching out for you. No harm shall come upon you.

You watch out for your children, Greg, Now, when you see

harm coming there way, you let them. No. Isn't it long before

the harm comes their way? You're already there. That's what it means,

because what are you doing. You are watching out for them, You're watching

out for them. You think the fellow is gonna come, he's gonna work

your child, You're gonna let them. Hey, long before that fellow.

Yeah, that's right, I'm with you. The guy will be on the

floor. All that body weight will be on him, broken bones. I

promise you that's what you're there for. You're meant to look after your family.

God's looking after you. No weapon formed against you shall prosper. He

will never leave us now forsake us. Hey, your child's Your child takes

the chocolate from the fridge. Even though you said, don't take the chocolate.

Do you take the chocolate? No? No, I never took the

chocolate. All over the face, wasn't me. You are so angry with

your child. You're gonna leave your child alone. You do whatever you want.

I can't be bothered with you anymore. Will you do that? No?

You will still look after your child even though you're upset that the child

took your chocolate. But in the background, now, in the front,

maybe you know, sure, a little bit anger, but behind you,

still making sure the fridge doesn't fall on him. That's what watching out is

for your God will never leave you, nor forsake you. Why because he's

watching out for you. Hey, If he's not watching out for you,

he's already left you. Man, you're on your own. Do you realize

we are his sons and his daughters? We are not ordinary people. For

those of us that do not know Jesus Christ is Lord and severe, you

are yet to come into the family relationship and adoption of Jesus Christ. This

does not apply to you, I'm afraid. But it will apply to you

if you give your faith to Jesus because when you say, Jesus, I

need you what the scriptures say, he sees you, saou bona, He

sees you, and then as you developed, he starts to look out for

something for you to do in his kingdom. But his eyes are always watching

out for you. He chastises those that he loves. Do you know that

when God's eyes are always on you, he is always watching you. Nothing

misses his eyes. Nothing misses his eyes. When you do something wrong,

after some time he has to correct you, isn't it? And discipline is

by no means pleasurable. How many of you say, yay, my father's

going to kill me. Oh I love it. You never do that,

right. Some of you will prepare, put books in the in the in

the pants and all that. Okay, yeah, I know the boys have

all done these tricts. When they go to school, wear several levels of

underwear so that when the king comes don't feel so much pain, right or

not? But nowadays they don't kill kids. Right. But you and I

are days different story, right, We got our own stories to tell.

Disciplines those that he loves. This is one. You see, All these

stuff one, two, and three all sounds nice watching right, But do

you know there is the four when it comes to God watching us, there's

always the four. He disciplines whom he loves. So, guys, God

sees because he's attracted to our faith. God looks for something for us to

do in his kingdom. None of us are stragglers, none of us are

chair warmers. We are all meant to serve the Lord. He is always

looking out for something. That is why, because when we seek ye first

the Kingdom of God, all these things are added unto us, and then

He is always watching out for us. I have a couple of parting words

for you. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nets, baptizing them

in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Doesn't

it seemed like I'm always sharing this verse. It's because this is the only

thing that's left really for us to do. You know, think about it.

You've done everything else. What's the only thing left for us to do

is the very very thing that God sees is important. Go and make disciples.

And I want you to know those last verses, blessed is that servant

whom he's master. When he comes, we'll find so doing. If you

want to know why I keep sharing this verse is because I'm acutely aware that

Jesus is coming against soon. Every fiber of my being speaks of that,

and there's only one thing left for me to do. Make disciples. Go

out share the word. See other people saved, because blessed will I be

when the Father comes. When Jesus comes back, will find me so doing.

Because the worst thing that can ever happen is he says to me,

depart from me. I never knew you. Oh, that will be the

most horrible thing. I'm not trying to scare any one of you. I

want you to focus. Is God telling you leave your job, give everything

up, and go and become a full time workert. No, because your

world is where you are. I know the the business term is marketplace.

I don't quite like that term marketplace very much. Yes, but I'll tell

you you are in the world. You are not called out of the world.

You call to make a difference in the world. So if you're a

teacher, you're not meant to go full time teach love, teach geography,

teach science. But when someone comes to you and says, can you help

me? Sure I help you. If you're a doctor and you've done all

that you can to give medicine, is there anything more? Yes, his

name is Jesus. You can do that. You're an accountant. So how's

my text coming up? It's coming along. Fine, you'll pay so much

in text, but that's okay. But I want you to know someone who's

paid it all for you. His name is Jesus. You don't have to

pay no penalties where he is concerned because he paid it all for you.

You get what I'm saying. And I guess every time I share a word

now you're probably gonna hear that verse. So please do still invite me here

to come. Blessed is that servant whom his master when he comes, will

find so doing. And with that people, God's got his eyes on you.

God's got his eyes on you. We hope you've been blessed by this

message. For more information on our church, please visit AKS Church do org.
