The Principle Of Leaving | Elder Wong Kien Yiak

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

We hope this message will light up your day.

If you're a Bible will you turn to Hebrews chapter six?

All right? He brew chapter six worse one? All right.

So therefore, leaving the discussion of elementary principles of Christ,

let us go to perfection, not laying the foundation of

repentance of date works and faith to God. There's a

few more other foundation there. But the Bible here says

he more. Chapter six verst one says this that living

the discussion of elementary principle, everyone say leaving on say

living again. Friends, there is a principle that you and

I can gather from the word living. The principles of

living living a particular place, a particular stage of our

life is very important. And it's very important for us

to understand that in every stage of our life God

has prepared for us to learn something. He does even

though we can't see yet, he is working, even though

you can feel it he is.

Okay.

So God is not the type of person or type

of God that takes off and they say okay, enough

with it.

He is working on our behalf.

The question is this, is that if the Bible hears

is therefore leaving behind it the elementary principles, which means

to say that in every stage of us living a

particular situation, we need to learn. I share with you

about the music project. Do you know one of the

greatest challenges people's ego? Can I just say it, right,

paper's approach to a particular the music. I don't like

you or I don't like the music, So you as

a project for some.

What do you do?

I hate you that they don't hitler, they christianize it.

Maybe I don't agree with you right now? How would

you do that? What would you do in the circumstances

like that?

Right?

Don't handle this project because it's too much And a

lot of times why we never learned certain things because

we leave a particular say not learning. And I was

just talking to Pass about the challenges about the project.

Pass.

The three different languages everyone then sounds so differently. Right,

you're going to hear the English one and from wrong

that the English song is gonna be a bit more

pop friendly, pop friendly?

All right?

We are we are living, moving away from our typical

acoustic set to a bit more maybe maybe attempting a

bit more pop friendly because Pass said that, you know,

let's maybe let's let's try something new cool. Let's do

that there after approach the passa good one, the basket

good ready for let's do a live version where everybody

come together jam right like what you see on the

YouTube video, by saying yeah, there's a post production.

People sing in.

The studio, then they've dubbed the song over right. Then

after the men one, we want our workers to be

clear right avery in the way of singing. Look at

all the writing show. You can hear the vocal. One

can hear whether or not they sing in peature of

it all. Picture how love versus is in Christ three

different approaches one album. If you are the person having

to manage the talent poll in front of you, what

would you do right?

Complain here, I don't like this? How do you unify it?

And many times in our journey right what we do

is that because the heat is too much, we create.

Because the heat is too great, we say, if you

take a step back, not for me. We want to

avoid all these human conflict. But the Bible here says

the principles of living is teaching us again, is that

sometimes we sometimes in our life. We think that it's not.

We think that we it's not I'll say, the right

situation for us to manage, and that's why we leave.

Then now was for example, I don't like to manage mess,

so therefore I leave, right, But it's in the mess.

Can I just say that God uses to develop us. Okay,

it's in the situation. So I told past this the

situation and I saw and that this is why I

told past the pastor. I truly believe God is using

the project to develop me. God's using the project, the complaints,

the inability to work with one another, to develop to

mature me. So sometimes we don't leave. It's because we

think we have a rife. We do want to manage people,

because we think that we already arrived the state of

this is the best version of me. This is who

I am. And that's why sometimes there is no breakthrough,

because in every season of our life there's things to learn.

Take for example, Abraham and Lot from the Bible. You

know the story right, once an uncle wants a nephew.

But you know the story whereby there was a situation

whereby the two different camps, Abraham's workforce and workforce arguing

because there was not enough room for the catter and

for the workforce. As the older person, you just say

because I'm older, therefore you I kick you out. You

just choose somebody else. I'll choose the best of the land.

But here's the thing that Abraham just said, this a lot.

You choose the best of the land. You think east,

I go west, you think west, I go east. We

want The aim of it is to make sure that

we keep unity above anything else. God will always bring

us through a Caesar whereby we are never arrived. Can

you the word, we have never come to a place

where I've arrived. I am perfected already. Sometimes you don't

live because we that we have arrived. This is the

best version. And many times can you say this? The

more we handle fire, the more we get burned. Right,

the more we get burned. The problem is that we

don't allow God to heal well. We allow things to develop,

us to be bitter. You know how dangerous it is. Continue

to be bitter, not you constantly avoiding people after that.

That's the reason why sometimes we don't have break schoos,

because God never allowed us to.

Remain where we are.

Imen Okay, let me just show it for me from

scripture again. Right, So, philippines up, the tree was twelve,

Not that I've already attained or already perfected by press

all that may lay hold, which Christ Jesus has also

laid hold of me the Bible here says philippinest the

tree was twelve, not that I've already attained. Many times,

our journey as a Christian, and this is the typical

Christian journey, the moment you get safe, the moment you

get safe, receive Jesus to your heart. There's assumption that

you know the pray.

Think about it.

There's always an assumption just because you accept the christ today,

there's assumption you know the pray really, or you know

the worship, or you know the gift us to the Lord,

or you know what it means to serve the Lord.

And many times we just assume that because you're a Christian,

you know to do this, you're a Christian. Have you

heard the same one before?

Right?

And that's why Philippis the tree Truf reminds us again,

not that I've alreally attained. I'm a really perfected. Friends,

none of us here is perfect yet. But we will

get there. Amen, that's perfect yet, But therefore you and

I shouldn't say that I've a really arrived. We remind

our church partners, we do have Bible classes on a

weekday night if you can join us. But why is it?

Why is it sometimes a low take cover besides busy

schedule and stuff like that. Maybe and perhaps sometimes we

think that we have learned this before. Just because you

heard the topic, we can you can make two and

two together. And because you can make to and two together. Friends,

that's why we stop learning about the things of God.

We have stopped learning about things of God. So Philippus

reminding us again that I need to have this. I

need to continue to press on. I want to say,

press on you and I need to continue to press

or to press or to leave a particular place to

press on further. I just want to say this that

I tod past of this and if I figure sometimes

that the you stake a lot of people use for

Christian growth is material wealth. Christian growth is the things

that how much things that you've been blessed with. Just

because they've been blessed with so many things doesn't mean

that our life is right before the Lord, it's not

the things that we are blessed. Way I can I

just say this is what are we using the things

for the lot? For For example, some of us here

could be praying for a home and God does give

you a home and this stuff like that. Right, so

the home is now with a problem. The issue has

always been what are we using with a home for

the lot? Think about it? Think about it? Something's God

pushes the boundary? Does He pushes the boundary so that

we don't get comfortable and don't get attached to because

if you attach to a particular thing, then God can't

bless us more because you say that you're you're only

using it for yourself.

So this is my discussion with passes. Sometimes early days.

Of the church, we just say that if God does

give you a car, what car would it be?

Right?

We have our own ideal cars and this stuff like that.

And if you're younger, sometimes the two dog cars is

much more attractive than a four door or doca. Definitely

for sure has this question you asked me, but how

many people can you fetch with the two door car?

How many people can you fetch with the two dog car?

And this just great, like there's nothing wrong with the

two dollar car, right, but if the two dollca is

the only veaker that you want to buy, then who

are you going to fetch? And could you imagine saying

that that's wd hasles to be the two door vehicle?

Right?

Great, but it's all earth? Yeah here, Liza. So the

Bible Historhilipersceptor Tree was travel to say that I press on,

I lay hold on what Christ has prepared for me,

and God will allow people to come into your life

to be the catalyst to force you to leave a

particular state. And they say God will use people in

your life to be the catalaset to force you to

live a particular state. We shouldasically say that never allow

you to remain comfortable to where you are. That's the

reason why I can't just say this that leadership is

not for the fame hunted the moment you volunteer, I

want to serve the church. Can I want to leave

people leaders homes? Do you know what the greatest challenge

is to teach a facility for homes?

You're right there, You're prepared.

You thought whatever you ask that people be so hungry,

they'll they'll be jumping out answering everything that you ask

the only to be greater with total silence, right with

the total sellers. After a while, raise you out because

go like, I tried this method, it didn't work. I

tried the method, it didn't work. And how many times

that you'll refine ourselves at homes scrolling through Instagram and

read they paying attention?

Nothing wrong.

Okay, I'm not knocking to anyone, but it is a

matter of fact. And that's the reason why sometimes people

know the facility because do you know how sometimes the

word is that tiring right, challenge, and sometimes discouragement comes.

Maybe I'm not as good facilitator. Maybe I'm not a

good teacher. Yes, I know there are many talents in

the house. I'm fantastic. My wife is a fantastic facilitator.

I just went to a home the other day. Everyone

was talking NonStop for almost one hour, very engaging, right,

And I go like, I've been the host before, friends,

so what do you think? Cry quiet? Just total silence there? Right,

and you go like, what did I do wrong? Have

you been there before? You try everything? Then that data

is out right, you say, hey, let's prepare the best food, right,

And sometimes you get a part of this, a part

of that. And you look at the pictures. I just

saw these homes. I went to ship. The host prepared a.

Huge spread of stuff right from top pass all the

way to spaghetti to fred Chicken to hummers to.

Yeah right, yeah, I know you ask you, you gotta

ask me. I wanted to try to for homes. I

totally understand that. Okay, I've been no this, No, there

there's the exception, exception again, No everyone is bad. I'm

the one is just shed this to you. But it

doesn't come the whole kinda say. This didn't come to

a place where I was trying to impress. That's naturally them.

You have to be ready to be uncomfortable and got

this message not for you, but it is for me

to be ready to be uncomfortable with the things that

have That's why Bibe was saying that it's not the

readly that I've come to a place where by I'm

reach there. Really, why we don't live is because many times,

as a believer, we think that we have a rife. Okay,

this is all we have an option. I don't go up,

I don't like I love where I am right now.

I don't like to be uncomfortable. I don't like to

be push I don't like to be the worst. Explore

something else. And the reason why sometimes you are like

that is because I just say this. Our mindset, we

always say never. You know that when God called Moses

to go to Pharaoh, one of the statement that God

Moses said to the Lord, I've never spoken this way before, right,

I have never spoken this way before. And the more

we say never and cannot, the more we say never

and cannot, what happens? Friends, We shut the door of maturity, never, cannot,

no way. In our pre marriage counseling coursure, almost everyone.

That we do is me and my wife.

When we talk to people, they always say this, though,

be ready to be uncomfortable with some decision you're going

to make, be very ready for it. Because marriage is

not about the wedding day itself. People plan nine for

the wedding day itself. Friends, only to realize day one

of your marriage is.

Even more important.

Nine minds to prepare for wedding right, you even fastered.

Some ladies make sure that they remain in their size

for the wedding day. Nothing fantastic, But after that, after

after the wedding day, I put all the passive day

after that, right, it's I'm not knocking anything, but you

see how much dedication we put one day. But actually

day one is we were more important than one day

the suburbs marry. We understand that, Yes, fantastic. All the

other lives and stuff like that, fantastic, right, but the

day one in your in your marriage is even more important.

All of a sudden you wake up. You see this

piece of meat blind beside you. It's we love, but

it's the transition is so drastic, you know, firsts not

it's not your boaster. Friends, you can kick on the

floor both satin. That was snows one, right, the words

come to words. Is only your slive smell and your

bolster only this was sn someone let go guess in

the middle of the night, all right, so freds, can

I just say this that the moment we say never right,

cannot We shut the doctor maturity.

We shut the door of maturity.

I don't like to be put to a place whereby

there's inconvenience. We shut the doctor maturity. I do to

manage people's mess. We shut the door first, and we're

not asking you to take all the mess. We're asking

you that could you give a listening year. I had

this conversation Passic Glory at this one, you say this

whole week, I had a few interesting conversations with people

in the church. I go like, yep, pretty normal because

in our church we do have a lot of people

that want to talk about their problems, and they just

say this. Sometimes in life it is not about just listening.

Sometimes it's about telling. So the Bible here says here

here Lisa Philip Tree says that it's not that every

day I've attained, but I press on. Friends. Pressing on

is an attitude that you are ninety to have. We

press on to save for a wedding day. We do

that because there's motivation. Think about there we do. We

press on the save for our house that we want motivation.

We press on to say for the holiday that we want. Right,

what about your own personal life? What about your own

personal life?

You know?

Out the pressing on for my own person life so

much harder, so much easier to call Passic Gloria to

pour everything out to her so that she can just

tell me what to do. We can be like that.

That's why we never leave because it's so easy, pass

the glory. I got this problem, and she's such a

nice and can't hated person. She got she's a pastor.

You call me, I'll just tell you. Just deal with it.

Don't be so drama. Grew up, because isn't it true?

Life is so much drama? You cut away the drama. Friends,

The solution is quite easy. And and maybe because I'm

fifty so it would be more impatient. But when you're younger,

you just listen and listen. But what you pass is

just grow that life and death anyway, This is how

we counseled our church, eye counsel. Friends. Is not life

and death your husband just knowing it's okay, just it's

okay on your future. So this is okay on right,

Yes you don't. He doesn't cook every day.

It is all right.

It's not life and death, right, So we sit in

the perspective it is isn't it true?

Right?

So anyway you can to press on, friends, So have

we been pressing on? Think about it? Have we been

pressed saying on a hit forward?

Or have you been letching on?

Letching on to our surrounding because it's so comfortable. I

heard the latest thing. I'm just gonna shaw you. I

heard the latest one of the latest things that not latest.

But one of the things that sometimes we don't move

on is because no one helped me. I want to

move on, but no one helped me. I want to

move up, but no one helped me. For example, if

you are the type that couldn't wake up in the morning, right,

I want to serve for extras, but no one helped

me though, because I cannot wake up on time on.

Right. I want you to think about it for a moment.

Then I go like, okay, so can I just apply

that across board. I cannot afford the house because no

one helped me. I cannot apply a job because I

don't have a job because no one helped me. You

have to become sistent, right. I cannot do this because

no one helped me. The question has always been that

no one helped you, but you as a person. The

Bible here says that I may lay that, but I

may press on. I may press on. You have a

responsibility right now to press on to move forward. The

responsibility is not your leader to press you on in

your friends, because even with the push you first, and

they say well, this church is so pushy. Don't push

this church the help push people? What do also complain?

Don't do also complain? You tell me what to do?

Right?

So the response is, Philippi is very true to it.

Therefore I press on, what's the vision for yourself? Have

you ever wondered why and we got here in the

first place? Have you ever wondered where you are right now?

How do you get there? It's very good for us

to sometimes, you know, to disconnect and just to reflect

how did we get here? I got this part of

this message because I was in oas Michelle, and you know,

in Japan, friends, one of the hardest things as a

person closed to six feet is to squeeze the small

little bathtub, the small little square bafftop. Okay, in every

room and some rooms are bigger, but you know what

to do the video fort to rent a room that

they have the smaller above.

Anyway, I squeeze in their as passive.

So when you do your LIGs when you go to

the bathtub, because by that I was in there for

about thirty seconds, but I got lick crimes. Really, do

you know how hard did I squeezed at the pass

I said benji, what do I do with my legs?

I can't put my legs out. But it's not that. No,

that the bigger bathtop in our house that we have one,

there's a bit long dishort five feet there is like

a squarey short.

You just sit down there like.

Squatted like like like kind of punishment.

It's squatting the water.

Okay, right. I was as I was in that trying

to understand what's happening, I realized one thing is that

after you pass a certain age, you feel your body

aches a bit. More on.

You do, can I just prophosid this.

To you for those of your whole below forty right,

you get to a station, why you do feel a

bit of your body aches. So for the past two days,

in the first two days in Japan, we clock about

for the eight thousand steps for the eight thousands, so

one days, about twenty four thousand steps, right, two days

and two days contactly for eight twenty four thousand steps.

It's like from five thousand steps all the way like

to twenty four is a huge job. And the body

aches is the stuff that I would just sit squatting down,

I mean squatting houses, soaking forever squeezing the smallly, thebuffed

up the top just hit me? How do I get

here whereby? At the age of fifty year, you cannot

survive more than thirty thousand steps number one, body aches

number two like you're supposed to be almost the pick

of your life, you know, the kind of thing before

you hit sixty and this stuff like that?

Right? How did I get.

Here whereby I feel more pain right now rather than enjoyment.

In the new environment.

How do I get here whereby I kind of even

read more than ten pages without checking the book aside

and taking on the hand phone. How did I get

here whereby you can feel in the blacks? And I

discovered this is that I've allowed situation.

In my life.

I've allowed You don't get here by accident, my friends.

You came to a place where you are by the

trises you make. So one of the things I've discovered

nor discovered. But before I went for Japan, I had

I'm so sorry I had to say that back because

I had a very bad back even now, so I'm

standing right now by still in pain. So before I

left for Japan, I will see at Cairo, and I

will see a physio, and she kept consistently for the

past few physios. I saw is this statements so warm?

Your body is very stiff. Your body is very tight,

very tight, very tight. I see, how did I get here?

Did you stretch? Not? I say yes, My wife stretched

my patience every time when she goes to shopping. I've

tried to lighten the mood. I'm just joking, okay, right, No,

I say that. No, I don't stretch. Yeah, that's the problem.

We see.

You think just because you think we can move, that

we don't need to do it. Just because we think

that we can walk, we don't need to stretch. Always

understand the benefits of doing it, but we don't do

it because just because we could eat and alive, don't

have to take panador, we think we are all right.

And that's the reason why sometimes we get stuck in

a situation like this and the Bible here iss not

that I've already attained friends. Many times, why we get

stuck in our Christian world because we think that we

have a arrival understood Christianity until unless we begin to say, God,

there's so much more about you I have not understood yet.

There's so much more about myself that what you can

do in my life that I have not explored. Therefore,

this year, I would like to do something that's a

bit more different. I would like to be a host

and serve to know what it means to work in

the team. Everyone of verse can work solo on fantastic

solo worker.

We don't like to work in the team.

The moment you walk in the team, you see everybody's

different color comes out. The question here is this, Can

you develop a canvas out from the colors or are

you going to leave a blank, empty canvas? Right like

the next scripture, he pushed up the twelve. No, he

push up the five verus twelve, for by this time

you ought to be teachers. You need someone to teach

you again the first principles of the oracles of God.

You have come in need of milk and not solid food.

He pushed up the five cities that fall by this

time this time, friends, in every season of your life,

you need to be at a particular's stitch every season

of your life. That's why sometimes I find that adults

behave like boys because they have never applied what it

means to grow up doesn't define your maturity.

It doesn't. The more we.

Say yes, God, here, I am going to serve you,

the more is going to use the environment to shape

you who you are. So by this time you ought

to be so I was in Japan, this this talk

came to me. By this time, you should be preparing

yourself to go to your seventies and eighties without much

body ache.

My wife is very disciplined, she's very good.

At five years ago already she started with a very

strict regime of preparing herself to build masters. So every

other day should be you should be lifting weights because

I'm going to lose myself. I'm gonna prepare now. So

by this time your body is going to reach there.

But what are you going to do right now to

prevent the loss? By this time you should be able

to read a book, but we reach her for other

things that's easier. By this time you should go to

at least finish futures of the Bible. That's why it's

so hard, because we have never applied. So by this time, friends,

where where where you? Where should you? You also us

ought to be teachers, But we're carrying for milk, and

after a while we can be we can become so

adjusted to milk environment. The Bible, they say the milk

was wrong. He didn't the Bible never say the mill

is wrong. But just that if you could consume milk

for the rest of our life, that's why we never grow.

You know that Christian growth is very important for you

and me. He is because you imagine right now, let's

fast forward next thirty years, right, and all of development

of who God is is is just this. The God

of Sundays, the God of Sundays, never know what it

means to lead the cell group or homes. Of course

it's tough, friends, leading homes is the tough can they

see is tough, all right. But the joy of leading

someone to Christ, the joy of leading a home, the

joy of praying for people, the job of visiting people

in the hospital, the joy of walking someone through, the

joy of seeing people getting married, the joy of walking

about from a mess, the joy of sending someone off.

Some of us here friends have capacity and even the

ability to minister to elderly people, to know what it

means to whole someone else hands, to encourage the person

before the person's last breath, and they say it's gonna

be all right. Jesus is gonna welcome you at heaven

to walk to a family who just lost someone you like.

Could you imagine right.

Now with all those prepared in front of use right,

so by this time you'll be I got more thirteen minutes. Well,

they thought ten more minutes, she says, she's gonna give me.

So I let you know.

So the last time I spoke here, I was I

thought enough time to go streaking back, man, because it's

only fifteen minutes. The moment I got in my card

that text.

Me, are you here ready?

I say why, because right now we are going to

take up tlics and offering, I said, Normally I better

either your last song or just doing your welcome uh

for people? I said, why so fast this time? Or

new chairperson.

Anyway?

Anyway, So by this type fras, you ought to be teachers.

Come on.

In other words, friends, all of us here, all of

us here, the.

Bible here, they ought to be teachers.

Not not Bible teachers in the first day, but no

other handle the word of the Lord. Okay, I'm sure

someone will get safe because of that peace.

I see him every day at school. That's why.

All right, this next, next, and nextight, catching your people,

who's always caring for milk is the meat?

All right?

People is always carrying for mill down in hearing, down

in hearing that means some other words that you hear

but you're not really hearing. I'm not the doubt doubt

of hearing right. It's not because of age. Oh maybe

I'm older. This I couldn't hear properly. So no, people say,

because no, friends, the doubt of hearing me is a

choice after a while. It is a choice after a while,

because we pick and choose what we want to listen to.

The modern day.

Application these days you just pick it, choose what you

want to read, what you want to enjoy if you

go out, whether I handful. Back then, friends, all you

have was the environment. You just enjoy it. But these

days I don't like it. I switched back before before

everything else, friends, all we had was the TV screen.

And all you had, Friends, was at five thirty to

six pm the cartoon time. That's it. You miss that,

you missed the cartoon for the day. Really, no matter

how harrible the cartoon is, Friends, you just watch it

because that's the only time you get relief, right from

the everything else in the world. But these days you

can consume it on your handful. Nothing wrong, fantastic, right,

more options right now. Back then we only have one,

two and three TV one two and three. Right then

China it came along. We say, prays to the Hallelujah.

Right.

But the Bible here is encouraging us, the remind us again.

The dove of hearing is because it's a choice. After

a while, I don't like to hear this. I like

to hear this. Don't go to other k here because

he's he will just tell you to grow up, go

to pass the glory because you cry together with you,

she's more encouraging. First, it's okay the laws with you,

you go to the other ksy, just grow up, Like,

come on, look at Daniel. We got option before he

went to the before he went to the pitfall of liars,

he got option. May he goes tuned in there, right,

I see from this perspective. But it's say, before you

go to the pills of lives, you can just prepare

yourself first. If we pick and choose who we want.

It's so true after a while, because that's how some

of us you can take it, because you grab them

I remember by you like to be told okay, if

it's wrong, it's wrong. Right. Sometimes you talk, oh, can

you tell the persons just wrong in your face? You

must pull the person to explain what's right first, and

what's wrong after the explanation. Then you create awareness. That's

not the modern day coaching easter. First of all, you

can create awareness. The person's not aware of what's wrong,

then the person will not change. I try to tell

that to my lip mom. Mom, you have to create

awareness in me first before you wreck me. Okay, sure,

let me wreck you first that awareness who come later.

I'm kindly sharing this to you because friends, the doubt

of hearing is because, after all, this is a choice

that we make. The more the more we get accustomed

to milk, and that's right. After a while, we see

I don't like to eat meat. The more you get

accustomed to something, you get used to something.

It's okay, it's sweet. I share this before I'm sharing it.

The gate power of my breakfast regip is it's stick

to tend stick or celery. Bland it bland. Not use

a blandt with all the fiber and just drink it down.

Fantastic taste so sweet, taste so sweet for a fiber

and stuff like that. And if I can't get celery,

a blend bit root for breakfast, raw betroot for breakfast. Right,

so I eating roll a bout like that. Threads not

a wiseable fread because everything comes out right Later you

have to frush your toilet properly.

We think you're bleeding after that. People say, how can

you eat that?

I say, it's quite street, right, But you get the

word this is that you get used to what you consume. Yes,

the first the first time I took it was it

was a bit outler, But you get used to it.

So the doubt of hearing it's a choice that you make.

I don't like to hear this. I want to hear this.

I wan to talk more about relationship because i'd we

like to hear about relationship.

In the church.

Don't talk to us about missions because missius is not

something that we want to go for.

Right.

We pick and choose. After a while, even speakers, we

pick and choose. Passa glory is very encouraging. When you

hear message, you feelt like you would be elevated to heaven.

And that.

Other care comes in like a like like a waking

king like that, you just work first. After that, after

that we pick and choose. Come on, isn't it true? Right?

It's says so while we're down hearing, because you are.

Skilled with the word, and skilled with the word and

skilled with the word. I'm skilled with the word. What

do you mean by dad? Because we don't apply the word,

we don't. We don't apply the word in our life,

on our situation environment, we don't. And many times because

we don't. Friends, that's the reason why sometimes we use

humanism to solve a spiritual problem. We use humanvism to

solve a spiritual problem.

We don't.

You and I need to know what it is what

we have right now? We have access to God. We

can pray. We can't but problems that we don't pray.

After a while, we don't give up because if God

hears our cry, I send one memo up enough. Really,

it's almost like sometimes we think, on God, behalf how

many reminders you want to remind God? We stop praying

because many times we don't see an answer immediately we

think God answer or like a handful that I call,

he picks up. And that's give you a lot of

assurance that it works. If you have well, you have

one of those friends, you keep calling it and never

pick up one You also give up on their friend.

I keep calling you, but you never pick up. Then

the bus say TEXTLA, you text noo.

Reply.

We never give you an answer. You give out on

their friend. And sometimes we do that to God as well,

because after all, we keep praying and praying and praying

no result. That's why everythink that it's not working. But

you and I will never know, friends that God, in

the process of allowing us to wait, he developed us.

He does more than anything else. I'm going to close

more than anything else while we are exciars because you

will never allow God to develop our hearts. Never allow

God to develop our hearts in the first place. It's

very important to understand this truth because it's not the

position of a job, of a status that.

We should aim for.

Because even though God opens the door for you to

go into the position, it takes correcter to remain in

the position it does. It takes correct for you to

remain in the position. You think about Joseph, for example,

Joseph was promoted to the Prime Minister of Egypt. As

you know in all politics threads its. Never is never

a fair game. If Joseph doesn't have a right character, friends,

you think he can last long you think about Daniel.

I want you imagine Daniel in the Book of Daniel.

Right now.

None of you have experienced what Daniel has experienced before

before he gets employed. He was put to the tests.

Have your employment before your employment, has any of your

employee You tell you that I want you to right now,

my food delicacy and hear God say you ives we

and and dreamwater. Imagine working for employ that chose his

best staff in the pit of Lion and the Bible

here says that when Daniel came out, King was so

the King was so remorse of making the action, he

regretted it, and Daniel still work for the king. Most

of us heerially. If your boss shows a real pit

of lion, Friends, if if there's an opportunity for us

to get out, we will take him to the High

Court ready to sue him. Here's Daniel say, I'll serve

you again. There is a higher and greater purpose, friends.

And skilled in the world. If if you're skilled the.

Word that's why we miss out of many opportunity as

God has given to us. That's like close friends. I

just thought, just sharing a few things with your number one.

This is that there is a principle of living you

need to learn. When is it to leave a state? Yes,

I've been a Christian long enough. Today it's time for

me to step up, step up, step up to surf

because I can. I do want to just exist for

the next thirty years in the church just coming. Nothing

wrong with it. But there has to be more on friends,

there has to be more. I need to be an

encourage you. I've never been on the mission treat before

this year. I need to tell myself I need to

go for one different language, group, different environment, different food.

You're going to meet amazing people over there. Well, the

food I've never forget is having steamfish with a thousands

island sauce. This howesoop up? Yes, I will surf with

a steamfish with a thousands island sauce. I go to myself, like,

which rich cooking recipele cooks like that? That's all they

could have thousand island sauce with fish. I'm like, such

a weird combination and I ate the fish. Can I

just say this, please do not torture your guests that

we it's terrible, it's creamy, but that fish is like nowhere,

like you know what you understand? Okay, different environment, but

cause it too mature, cost you to grow, don't you

want to grow?

Friends?

Principles of living pressing on friends as a believerle content

to always look forward with every discoursion overcoming, and move

forward with every opportunity to be bitter, leaving behind and

move forward. It's so easy in church to get better friends.

It is.

It is, you know why. It's because we're working with people.

It's so easy. By past twenty five years doing church,

many times done wrong, be wrong. Before you can come

to a place with by disillusion you can.

You can.

You can come to the business disillusion and everything. But

you have to look the Lord to say, Lord, what

is it that you want me to learn from?

Here?

You press onto the high calling that God has for you.

I'm a firm believer of friends. That you know that

none of us who have written the last chapter of life,

none of us have written the last chapter of life.

Also talking to one boy and say that the other

can I ask you a question? I say, yeah, is

it wrong to have non Christian role models in my life,

non Christian role models in my life. I look up

to these people on the Instagram and stuff like that.

I say, well, it's not wrong because I got great values.

Not wrong.

I say, however, if you ever finding the values it's

different from what the Bible says, then you need to

use the Bible because your role model will fit one day.

But the Bible remains, and the Bible is true and

after all the pursuit of things in life. Say that

the things that they advocate right to show that you

have a rife in your life may not necessarily be

the good measuring stake that you're arrived. I say, you

never know because what they show is a snapshot. But

the Bible show is a live journey. You need to

have a live journey in front of you, mapped out

so you know that whether we have you have comes

from the right sources. Because the Bible, you can do

what's right, No, what's wrong? Then you understood. I say

that you have to eval because Jesus is an auto

finish it at the end of the day, because you

don't be at an experience, you don't be at the

last diving breath. Please take out my Ferrari and lumble

genie right, not again nothing.

I'm not against material wealth. I'm not. But I said,

if that's all you're living for, it is rare limiting.

It is.

There has to be more than that.

If that comes, if you have been fitful, God bless

it's your fantastic But you have to learn what the

Lord wants day of the day. Press on, friends, can

you carry your press on? Extragical press on? Don't remain

where you are right now this year, step up, step

up this year. Yes, I've been heard before, step up. Yes,

I have a bad readership before. This is over coming.

Let it go.

We're letting you go, friends, we are letting it go.

Is hard to embrace the new. This hard as a

close chest. I don't know where you are with your journey,

but I just want to encourage you that God has

so much more for you. He does, He does.

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

information on our church, please visit as Church Do RG.

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

that this week is going to be a good week.

I hit for you, God bless
