God is always guiding you | Elder Wong Kien Yiak

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

We hope this message will light up your day.

Yeah.

Amount of October al really another three more months to Chinese?

A year?

Yeah, huh?

Okay, okay, Christmas is only one day, Chaney, It's just

around the corner.

Yeah.

So time does fly already go pass very quickly, whether

we like it or not. And I truly believe and

I do know that if we don't understand the times

we're living in, we will sort of miss out. If

you don't understand the times or seasons we are living

in right now, we will sort of miss out on

what God wants to do.

In our life.

And I truly believe that in the coming days God

wants to review more and more of himself to us

and help us understand our purposely on earth. We do

have a life spent here on earth. Sadly to say

this is the time to be born and the time

to be home with Jesus, Amen, and not as sometimes

we look at the passing, as you know, we grieve,

but yeah, the same time we rejoice. Is not the

length of time really, but it's understanding our purpose why

we are here on earth, Everyone of us have a purpose.

Everyone of us here have a reason why we're still

your life.

And I do believe that you know, as as long

as we journey with the Lord, God wants to reveal

his purpose in our life.

More and more in the coming days.

And the challenging part of our living here is that

although we want to follow the Lord, although we want

to desire to see more of him, there's always a

conflict between our flesh, meaning to say that our flesh

want to go the opposite way, our desire wants to

go the opposite way.

And we think that sort of.

The way we desire to live our life is better

than what God has it stuff us. And sometimes in

the short term of things, we think that's that is real,

But in the longer span of life you will find

that it's not that, not that true. For example, when

we were young, we let's let's use what passion. When

we are younger, we used to take passion as an expression,

meaning to say that jumping louder.

And stuff that is an expression of passion.

But as you begin to age, you find that your

cartilage is no longer there anymore, and you can't really

jump as higher as how you like to be. You

can't really shout as loud as you want to be.

But yet that doesn't mean that we got no passion.

That doesn't mean that we got no fire. That doesn't

mean that we are less expressive. It just means that

our passion, our giving, our best is expressed in a

way we live our life, meaning to say that, for example,

if your voice is slightly soft, thir than what it

used to be, but even in that.

Small voice, would you still give your best.

We may not be able to jump as how we

used to jump, but even then, as we transition with age,

where we still clap to the best of ability that

we could many times just because we are experiencing some

sort of either you know, I wanna say trauma or

some sort of a you know, aging process, right, I know,

majority of our younger but you'll get there one day.

But that doesn't mean that it's bad altogether. That doesn't

mean that, friends, it is because we have like challenges

in our physical body that we should give less. Where

I think give less, we need to say the way

we express our life. You could be twenty years old, friends,

but your spirit feels that you're sixty, which means to

say that by six, we feel like it's just sixty.

It just means to say that.

The way we look at things, the way we express

our life, the way we it will wake up in

the morning. How may you know that you could be

in your twenties, but some of you felt like you're

in your forties. That because the way you will life,

the way you see things, the way you just accept

and resigne the fact. This is my life, this is

who I am. And God has never intended for us

to remain that. He He wants us, even the age

of eighty, to look forward every day what he wants

to do in our life. He wants us to work.

But I wished ninety. I pray most eased about ninety. Right,

even though slightly on a walker, we can still live

our life. And the word is that with hope, with courage,

and not just saying that I am just waiting one

day God calls me home. Friends, I pray today that

you open your heart to hear what the Lord wants

to say. First Kings, Chapter eighteen, First Kings, Chapter eighteen.

We see how we're going to take this message.

To I think I got about one hour and fifteen

minutes to you all, really, I know here too, Strict Combangan.

It's only about fifteen minutes on me. So if I

ad earlier, I might go for breakfast. But I don't

think so I want to do that. I think last

time I left here, right, friends, I went to Strict

Combangan and they were just ending worship, and I thought myself,

here I spend more time with you all. So anyway,

First King, chapter eighteen, All right, First King chapter eighteen.

You know the story. Elijah was one.

Then it came to pass after many days, the word

of law came to Elijah in the in the thirty year, saying,

go present yourself to Ahem, I will send rain on

the earth.

Go present yourself to Ahef. I'll present rain on the earth.

Friends. Ahab also a good king. Ahab wife was a

crazy woman. So it's very important to know who you

get married to. Seriously, right now, I'm not saying women

are crazy. Men can be equally as crazy or even worse. Uh,

in Secure men are terrible. Seriously, I want to let

you know if secure men are terrible because everything they

do friends, it's you undersaid anyway, So a have friends.

Ahab was all good cake.

Now, how many of us here when we wake up

in the morning, the water come to you. Face some

of your challenges in your life. Face it with courage,

face it without fear. Face some of the obstacles you

have with bondus.

And many times we wake.

Up we want to hear the word of the Law

say to us that I'm your shepherd. We have in

the world of images, God leading us by steel waters,

God leading us green pastures. Those kind of it just

sells very well in the Christian world. But have you

seen a picture of God telling Elijah the face King

a help? And many times in our life and God

asked to do something, we rest so we said, Lord,

cannot be very hard. And many times why we don't

have break chooes because we always reveal our opposition. We

always review a heap through the physical answers. It is

hard and that's why it cannot be done. It is difficult.

That's what cannot be overcome.

It is terrible.

That's why I want to avoid if we are going

to continue to leave our Christian faith like that. Friends,

that's why a hep spirit will always rule over us,

even though we could be Christian worse. Two, Elijah ran

to present himself to a heap. There was a severe

famine in Samaria. Worse treat Obadaiah, who was in charge

of his house. Now Obadiah feared the Lord greatly. Come on,

fear the Lord greatly. The Bible here puts it. He's

a man who feared the Lord. But here it comes worse. Four,

For it was wow Jezebel messacre, the profits of the

Lord over dre have taken one hunger profits and hidden

them fifty to a cave and fed them with bread

and water. Here's a man that fear the Lord more

than fear the more than he feared men who actually

took it upon himself. God, I know you put me

here for a reason.

See.

Understanding our purpose in the midst of challenges is very

key because it gives you friends, it gives you life,

It gives you a direction, not just going to work

from Monday to Friday. And you know, sometimes going to

work from Monday to Friday is like the lion's den

situation whereby constantly I know you're tiptoeing, do not know

what to expect, do know what email God you receive,

do not know what your boss is going to say?

But you are constantly alert and aware of your surrounding,

because you may be devoured by your surroundings. But the

Bible here says that there is a proper There is

a man called Obadiah who feared the Lord. How many

if you don't even though you feared the Lord of friends,

even though you fear that you are not the word,

is that abxempted from serving? Am many Christians I know

when they pray this normal prayers.

Life is like that.

God, give me a good environment to work in, give

me a good company, give me a good environment to

be in. Sometimes the Lord do allow us to be

in a good environment.

But how many of you know?

If every Christian want to be in a good environment,

they'll be over population on one side. And many times,

God I have always placed it in a place where

by challenging environment. Friends challenging environment. And many times in

our life we say that I don't like this because

whatever I do there is opposition. Why why I do?

There's upstacles. I go to work this boss, so like me,

I go home. My spouse always agree with me. We

are always asking God, please change my spouse, please change this,

change my boss, change my environment. You see heaven our

prayer has been God changed my environment, and say, God

changed my heart to be able to overcome the environment.

First.

I'm not asking us to be an abusive working environment.

I'm not asking us to be.

In an abusive relationship. I'm asking us to have a

different lens so that when we see and say, Lord,

our the pray first.

How are the pray fast? Because I got to.

Feel you first more than fear men fret If you

are living in a cycle environment whereby your spouse is

coming you with a knife, please don't say God, I

know you're gonna protect me. She stepped me. I will

still live because you will resurrect me. Please, it's not

about that, you understand. That doesn't mean that The common

says when your life is being threatened, right ask you

to stay there. God, you resurrect me. It doesn't mean that.

What I'm trying to say is that God will always

put us in the place wherever you be challenged.

The challenge is these friends. Is that true?

In the midst of the trials, God wants to develop

in James Chautaua say he wants to develop us to

have perseverance. He wants to build character in the midst

of the challenge, he wants to reveal himself in due

to the of the air. The Bible says that when

God brought them through the wilderness, God wants to reveal

what's in their hearts and want to review his nature

to the children, it's only true the challenge you get

to know who God is.

It's only true.

That circumstances you get to know who God is. Friends,

very much in your life, friends, maybe much times in

our life we want a breakthrough. For example, you're in

the situation God give me a break truth, and God

delivers you to a breakthrough. But many times we failed

to know more about God in the midst of the

big True, it's so important for you and me to

understand God wants us to know him in the midst

of the challenge. Verse five, it said, over there, Now

go to the land of all the springs of water

and all the brooks. Perhaps we were fine grass, and

keep the horses and the meal alive, so that we

may not have to kill any live stock. Verse six,

They divided the land between them. Next woy went one

away by himself, and over there went another way. Now

over there verse seven was on his way Suddenly Elijah

appeared to him.

He recognized him. He fell in his face. Is this

my Is this you? My Lord? Elijah? And worth? Eight?

Then he said it is I go tell your master

Elijah is here the worse nine?

Very interesting?

How have I seen that you, Elijah, are delivering your

servants help to kill me? How if I sit here's

a very typical typical situation that everyone goes to one.

Just because I give my life doesn't mean I will

be exempted from financial challenges. Just because I came out

for a prayer for protection doesn't mean that I will

be exempted from the challenges. Just because I lift on

my hands and say, Holy, Holy, are you God? Doesn't

mean that I don't do with last issues. And many

times in our journey we are like Obadiah. God, Why

is it your server who greatly fear you?

Number one?

The Bible says over there, I fear the Lord number two.

In the midst of the persecution, ob dire help the believers.

I did all this word is the word of Lord.

Exist to earn brownie points with God, to earn points

with the Lord Lord. See I do all this? Therefore

can I be exempted? I did all this, can I

be excused? But God sees things even greater. The Bible

says that, but I said, have I sinned? How many

we know that even though you walk through the value

of the shadow of Dea, you shall not fear. And

in our journey, in our Christian walk, friends, I want

to let you know, the courage to live for God

is not just the courage in.

The house or in the room.

The courage to live for the Lord is right in

the midst, in the midst of all that you're doing,

in the midst of all that you're doing, In the

midst of all that you're doing, friends, in the midst

of all the challenges, in the midst of all your faithfulness,

all your faithfulness, all your faithfulness.

Friends, could you would you allow God to.

Bring you true You could be serving in a dream tingle,

But would you allow God to bring you to a

place where He can refine you even better? You see,

faithfulness doesn't examiner us from testings. Come on, Faithfulness doesn't

examine us for testing. We don't like testings because they'll

be inconvenient. We don't like to be corrected by the

Lord because there'll be changes. But over there, even though

it feared the Lord greit the great service for the

Kingdom of God. Yet the Bible says, Elijah, mock him out.

Now when you face king a heap. This is what

I wanted to say to us. As point number one.

I don't know that I've got a few points about

I'll just point number one. In our life, friends, if

we pick and choose how we live our life, we

won't face the spirit of our life. We pick and choose.

God knows that we pick and choose the standary we

can choose. God knows our hart one. Friends, we won't

choose things that's challenging, and we will choose things that's

like challenging but easy can oh come on, But when

you go to a form of disciple ship, Now when

you got when you commit yourself the discipleship process, God

will use someone to challenge us to face a spirit

that we do want to face. If I would ask

how I always can touch our toes, some you can

easily not a problem. Benny can not touch his touch

his toes and back those can Ah. You've seen benu

of or photograph m a photograph? All your photographs are

the surfing on my face work. I thought you turned

to go back into that anyway south of you could

touch your toes. Right, majority of us here can about

to reach out toes now, given the choice by year end,

I said, yeah, everyone in extras mustage the toes. Okay,

for example, right a challenge, everyone in charge mustache the

toes by year end. You say, elder, it is possible,

can be done, Cory, not because you know it can

be done. But the problem here is this the moment

we attend a few more times, and you know that

through a pro protracted time length, we get this courage demotivated,

and we just say that I wake up one tie,

do one type to cope? Really, week one tie, just

stretch one type enough really? But when you get a

personal trainer, come on, when you get a person, have

you seen a personal trainer say, oh, you can't touch it,

it is okay, try again tomorrow.

I have not seen any trader, oh.

You cannot touch it's okay, by the way, the state,

by the site that you can go and drink tea first, okay,

and come back later and try again. I have not

seen any personal trainer to say that it's all right.

I've seen most personal trainers. Yeah, come on, stop making excuses.

Come on, stop making a reason why you cannot do it.

I got a clique, I shall not name it. I

got a click who has a very bad back. She's

going to see a Cairo and the chiropracter told her

that you have to do or call exercises, call exercises,

call the apps and stuff like that. So I say that, okay,

she's only less than thirty. I really had the bad situation.

I say, you're less and thirty. You're not married yet.

Once you get married you get a ten ten ten

percent of your weight. Once you have a kid, you

get a twenty percent of your weight.

Right there.

You wish forty, you'll get at least thirty forty percent

of your weight right now if you're not careful, I'm sorry.

I'm not pitting any bleak picture here, right, but you

understand when when you get married, fairs, you cook, hope

you get you'll be eating a bit more than.

Than what you used to be. Right, But I did

I want to ask her.

I say, as your birthday present, I'm going to ask

you every day when they got y commas co exercises not.

She said, okay, thank you.

Eldire but I come wish the second man, I asked,

have you done your co exercises? Do it tomorrow? I

will do it tomorrow so you can do your co exercise.

Not I got I woke up one time. There's one.

You not. We make reasons why we.

Can't Come on, Come on, we make excuses why we

cannot do it at this are legitimate excuses, friends, And

I said, legitimate is in the human understanding is acceptable,

no time, no motivation normal, But God has always put

someone in our life. Come on to face the a hem.

Given the choice over there, we don't want to face

a heap to tell it. Heppen is here. Come on.

Some of our lives trends as we journey on. We

are supposed to do the things you're supposed to do,

but we avoid it. And that's why sometimes we got

no breakthrough in our life because the things you're supposed

to do we don't do.

Come on, the things you're supposed to do, we don't do. Friends.

We are working on every god the outside, except for

what's really important. And that's why after when your thirties,

where your forties, or even your live fifties, we get

the words that this illusion about everything because I thought,

attend church and they will be supposed to have transformation.

But we don't apply to it.

Friends, And that's why sometimes when God puts someone to

decide us, we don't like it because we don't want

to face a heap, possibility of losing his life, possibility

of being put in prison, to be found of. There

has been how we hungered over prophets of God. Come on,

what's the ahap in your life? They have you been avoiding?

What's the ahelp of your life that you've been skirting around?

You can't touch this lot, you don't, don't don't force

me to do this. Lord, What is the thing that

you find your life that you've been avoiding? Friends, God

wants to go deeper in our life. Friends, let me

go to worst uh twenty. Then it has said for

all the chuldren of Israel, and gathered the profits together

and mont Carmel, you know the story half of you And.

Verse twenty one.

They lighted came to other people and said how long

will you faltably the two opinions the Lord, If the

Lord is your God, follow him by bounce him following.

But the people ask him not the word God is

always into the discipleship process. The word is to mow us,

to shape us, to work on things frands that we

can't see, where we are fearful off we want to avoid,

to work on issues frands that's putting into our Christian

growth and our personal growth.

Most of us don't like to be told, but we

like to tell. Come on.

Most of us don't like to be told by, but

we like to tell others what to do. And that

is a form of pride. Come on, that is a

far pride. I want to tell you how you should

leave for life, but don't tell me how to I

actually leave my life, and God wants to do deeper

because help me.

If you know that, friends, pride is the beginning of downfall.

Come on.

So the Bible here says that elight to confronted everyone.

How long will you falter med? Two opinions? How long

will you be tossed and turned me d two opinions?

Friends?

Do you know it's really hard to live your life

if you're constantly adopting yourself, constantly adoubting yourself constantly. The

words is that if I could have you know, a

bias regret you buy something that you regret it. You

buy something that you regret it, you went out, you

go sure ran something else. There's always a regret. Friends,

It's very hard to leave your life.

You can't.

And God understands because if you're continually be tossed to

and fro like the like the wind in the ship

in the ocean, you're not prosper you'll not be established,

you're not grow friends, and God wants to do something

even greater and deeper in your life.

Friends. The Bible here.

Says that when Elijah ass nobody answer a word because

the spirit of Jezebel has kept everybody quiet. Don't stand out,

because if you stand out, I'll come. I'm come after you.

Don't say that the Lord is God, I will come

after you. And many times our Christian favorites we are

very loud in the church, but very soft where we

at home.

Very loud in church, but very soft at home.

I've heard parents coming up to us telling us, you know,

my son is very faithful in church, but carry back

at home. Don't even clean the room, don't even wash

the plates. Root to the family famous lives. Treat the

house like a hotel. Every parents about rather do not

know what which college she went through. But every parent

has just like, don't treat the house like your hotel,

come in and out like that. And many times in

our life if we are not careful friends, if you're

not careful, we are like the people tossing between two opinions.

In church, we are one kind, one type. At home

and work we're another time. In church we look and

we seem to be holy. But hold me wrestle and

God once. The word is to help us overcome that, friends,

to consolidate who we are, to help us to have

a shave of mindset. If we don't attend to the

cracks in our life, rest and be assured the cracks

will ultimately find us out. If you'll find us out,

because you cannot live with the crack in our life forever.

If there's a link in your house, you cannot pretend

and just put a pail there. They say it is

all right. It is small lick. A small lick will

develop into a big link. You know that it's okayler,

there's only one water stain, no problem, And we always know.

We do hope for the best, hope for the best. Yes,

I understand, And then you don't understand. You know it

takes money.

To repair correct, but at least find out what is

the cost.

And maybe and perhaps all is just is just to

shift your rooftower by ten degrees and you cower that whole.

But many times you don't even want to look at

the sauce. Why am I like that? So the Bible

here says that chun do not answer Elijah a word

see Jezebel, will quench, our courage, will dowse, our courage

to stand up, don't change.

You are still surviving. How many of you know the rest.

Of the people are still existing, surviving, but not driving.

We get by.

I really don't want to end my life by just

getting by because getting by, friends, this means that I

don't want to script to And God wants to put

things in the heart, to put courage in the hearts.

When Elijah call us fourth, when God calls you out

in your devotion, where God speaks to you inspire you,

would you stand and be counted Because I truly believe, friends,

God want to minister to hearts. But yet at the

same time, there is this challenge, and this the word

is wrestling of our hearts. I've done it before, though

I see no change. I've believed before I would see obstacles.

But the Bible, he says, is not about the obstacles strengths. Howe,

if you know, even if the people answer Elijah, I

believe in God, the prophet about is still there. I

believe in God. Jezebel is still there.

Friends.

There's one thing about living in the midst of the

presence of Jezebel. There's another thing that's living under his spirit.

You can be in the world, but not of this world.

Your mind has to be renewed in order for you

to unlock the challenges in front of you.

Our mind has to be renewed.

Friends, when there's a jezebe in front of your friends,

we are not supposed to be quiet, and they say, okay,

why was she decree I will leave it? Why would

she declare that's my life? And many times in our

journey is the same. You can't do this because you're

feed in the blanks. You cannot because you're like that.

I'm not.

This is not a motivational talk, friends, it's not. It's

the word of the love for us. Friends, because we

have to believe the coming days are going to be

more challenging, Well, we still have the faith God the

spite of everything, I still want to believe in the

coming days. Friends, sow of you, I challenge you go

for missions. Would you still go to check my even

though it's flooding? The team is right there and friends,

before they left, flooding happened, and you read the story first,

even the same animal sanctuary was flooded. Our team just

decided should we bring raincoats and and and waterproof years

if you're pasted it, watch she's always well prepared, bring

rain coats everything.

Let's go there, let's be of help.

We're not gonna let the flood situation over come of faith,

but we should overcome off the flood without faith. Who

said that we can't go there in the midst of disaster?

Next thing that there's a team of us going to

the power because we were inspiring passa plan came and

share the need in the power. But would you go there?

See?

God always presents us with the opportunity to overcome, like

for example, in this situation Marcamel right without Elijah, without

the confrontation, with confrontation of our spirit of the situation,

we can continue all with our lives friends like that

and accepting facts. Come on, but it takes a spirit

of Elijah to overcome Jezebel.

Come on.

In our life to be able to say that this

is my life. Doesn't belong to Jezebel. My life belongs

to the Lord. Come on, my life doesn't belong to Jezebel,

doesn't belong to Militia's economy, doesn't belong to the world economy.

My life belongs to the Lord. And therefore, why would

the Lord asks me to like? Why would the lot

puts on my heart even though there's a thread. I

shall not fear man, but fear the Lord. Come on,

I shall not fear man, but fear the Lord. If

you are to live our life, you need to live

our life this way. Courage, fairst not to fear men,

but fear God. You live your life like that. You

don't have to go around begging. You live your life

that you don't have to go on hoping and wishing

for connections to happen. God is the one that put

connect together their friends. God is the one that orchestrate

things together in our life. So the people I'll tell him,

not the word friends. I pray that in this room,

they'll be courage to say that. God, if you caught

me to, I will answer. If you ask me to,

I will stand. If you ask me to overcome the

spirit of Jezebel in my life, I will overcome.

The elighten. See the people. I'm alone left as the

profer of Lord.

But bow four hundred and fifty men, elighten one bow

four hundred and fifty.

How many times in.

Our life, friends, we are overcome by or just overcome

by numbers. I don't have, Lord, I want to change,

but I'm not as smart. I want to improve by

not as quick. I want to be transformed by I'm

not free in the blanks. And if you're not filled

with the spirit of God. Many times in our life

our top process has always been But Lord, you see

these numbers. But Lord, you see this? But Lord, don't

you understand who am I? My antic background, my education background,

my social back ground. Lord, don't you understand I grow

up in the abusive environment that my parents use.

Is coming stupid? I thought stupid was my English name.

You know what I mean?

If we grow up in the environment, whereby after we

become like the environment, you could be only one by

the Bible here says the purfer about four hundred and fifteet.

That doesn't mean, friends, that we should be afraid. You

could be the only believer in your house. That doesn't

mean that God cannot move and save your whole family.

The Bible says, as for me and my house, we

will serve the Lord. It starts with me, and your

whole household will come in. It starts with me and

your whole household. If we had to claim the scripture

of friends, So would you be like Elijah in the

midst of everything. You could be the only one, only

one in your organization, But we still have the whole

onto the truth of God. So I met up with

one of the retail managers of the shopping mall that

we are involved in, and she's in charge of the

whole Malaysia retail more under this company. And she's just

saying she's a believers there. You know we our church,

or rather her church. She'd been praying for believers to

be in the shopping mall, at least a church presence

in all the shopping mall that they manage. Then she

said to me, thank you so much for coming in here.

We know that this company don't really one believers or

rather like Christian thing.

We don't do this do Sunday in our place reserve.

We have a lot of other things as well as well.

But thank you so much for being here as a president,

as a witness, as a light into this whole more.

I'm not sure howmry of us here, even though you

could be only one, only one, but the presidence of

one makes a difference. But if you're not there, I'm

sure how many other people missus?

How many other people? Oh, you're not around anymore? I

don't know, Hu, I did you know?

You left your presence. Whether you're there or not there

doesn't make a difference. And God always wants to put

in the place to make a difference. That's why courage

is so key.

Friends.

When you have courage, God, I want to believe. Courage

to believe is courage to believe, courage to stand to

say no, to say no. God wants to do something

new in our hearts. Let me go all the way

down to worse twenty nine in the Midia has passing

it and they the proferse about properties until the time

of the offering the evening sacrifice.

There will no wars. No one gives attention.

The profose about worship until for four hours or six

hours of worship they say it was twenty eight cry

aloud to cut themselves as a customer in knives and lenses,

and the blood gosha from them.

I say a little on. God will always put people

in our life.

To disciple us, because he doesn't want us to remain

alone to where we are.

I say.

The second part is that courage to stand say God,

I want to stand for you, God, I want to

follow you. Courage to say I want to overcome the

Jezebel spirits of my life. I want to overcome the

field aheap in my life. What's what's tray? And that

reminds us that we worship God in spirit, not in

our flesh. See, the more we draw in our flesh,

the more we want things of the flesh, the more

we expect things of the flesh. And that's why the

challenge sometimes for Christians is more of God's spirit, less

of the flesh.

What do I mean by that?

If ever you find after a while you make demands,

and you make demands, you make requests in your own heart,

it should be done this way be very careful, be

very careful that you might learn out folding a flesh more.

Be very careful.

For example, when you saw more of the flesh, you

want more of the flesh shot. When you start on

the buffet line, friends, it takes a lot of restraining

to not to eat your money is worth. Have you

seen buffet line people restrain themselves. I have seen people

who actually lost your faith. At the Hagen Das ice

cream section. We should be to say they fight? Why

you think so long one self choose ice cream? Choosing

houses like that? If you know what I mean? They

take the time this decies not and they take it

in this cooked.

I came so slowly.

I see people argue before friends, I see Christian going

on the football field fighting. When you begin to so

mooint the flesh, you see things of the flesh. Think

about it for a moment. I wanted to be done

this way. I want to be done this way. The

Bible says a proper about cut themselves up. The more

you give yourself what happened one day? Friends, seriously, one day,

if you take worship what we know is a form

of worship, you go to our death service and brick fields,

everything changes. Can you still worship God? Can we be

still and do our devotion instead of being distracted? I

had to reach up on my handful just in case

God's texting me to Instagram.

I got to do this.

I'm saying all this because there's a caution out there,

because if you continute allow the flesh to dictate how

our worship to God is, then will ultimately see ourselves

sowing more into the area, more into the area, less

in the things of God. You just want more of

it on new friends, It's supposed to be done this way.

If you're not careful. Friends, after a while, we have

the form the Bible says of godliness but no power,

no power friends, the form of Christianity but no faith,

the firm the outlie of a shape but no substance insight.

How do you know that when you have an outline

but no substance, that you felt like you're being deceived?

Especially sometimes when you go to eat, you look at

the nice pictures, looks nice, tastes very different and many

times you don't like the experiences in it. And what

do you do when you experience that? It felt that

you can a cone or cheated and many times you're

not careful with ruin our own life. We may not

cheat others, but friends, our old spirit, you felt like

I'm not true to where I am. And that's why

God wants to do something deeper in our hearts in

our life. Friends, Let's let me go down to words thirty.

That's like you said, all the people come near to me,

and so all the people came near to him. Hey,

repair the author of the Lord that was broken down.

Come on, when we have courage, friends, when we have

courage to stand for God. We have to have courage

first of all, to repair your relationship with God. Come on,

to repair your relationship with God, repair the author. You

need to take time off to repair the author. Tem

Study Bibles at home doesn't mean you're a Christian. All

the access to every literally sure you could find doesn't

mean you're a believer. It starts with repairing the altar

according to God's word. That's why I want to encourage

believers to bring their own Bible to church, only because

that the Bible reminds us, reminds us of our purpose

or Sunday. Many times the old journey, we bring our

handful for everything else and it's convenience more than conviction,

relieve or precious by bad at home because it's heavy inconvenient.

But when you get inconvenient for the Lawd's sake, it

reminds you in your life there is a God. Only

one Sunday only, in fact, three hours of a Sunday.

Carrying a Bible reminds you sometimes in your journey there

is a God. If everything is a yes, then's sometimes

you wonder the Lord?

Where are you?

So the Bible? Here is it enlightened? Repair the altar

of friends. We need to get first thing correct, which

is our relationship with God? When when when was the

time you have invested in your time with God? Come on,

when was the time you told yourself that you actually

have time out with the Lord? Say say, Elder, I

have I have you know in the in the midst

of what I remember, God, I will one time. My

journey is this that in your daily life, in your

daily life, from the time you wake up the time

you sleep, in your daily life, which part of your

life reflex of your dependency.

In the Lord? Which part of your life.

Reflex on your dependency on God? And at the beginning

join it down Number one three times a day because

three meals give tanks for the food. Right check, that's

only three hours of the maximum. We are awake at

least for eleven hours or twelve living nine more hours.

So what do you do when you go to work?

What do you do before you enter a meeting hall

or before you go into a strategic planning situation?

What do you do when your face with the situation?

Is God still present in the way we leave our life?

Is God still evident in the way we decide? I'm

also a decision always be made in the flesh. I'm

not asking a friend too fast and to pray, but say, God,

I'm going for this meeting right now.

I need your wisdom. I really need your wisdom. God.

I'm tossing between two colors. Would you show to be

wish colors I need to select for this project. You

may not understanding, But friends, I want to encourage you.

The more we live our life like that you would

find in the coming days are going to give you

the peace and also the courage to make bold diseashes.

In your life.

It's true because sometimes in your life you think, oh God,

it's only house I wish. I don't need you Lord,

I can decide, but not true though, so you know

how you'll follow passed his house power porture of his house.

There was a bag porture that was left unattended for

almost like twelve years to thirteen years because of funds.

And God spoke to a pastor. And when you do

up the back of the house because it doesn't give

me glory, just to embark. Friends on the situation where

you don't even have in many times of our life

and we don't have, we still follow the Lord. So

repair your relationship with the Lord. It says in the

next party, lims here vers this is worse thirty and

go to worst eleven. They're enlightened to twelve stores according

to the number of the tribes of the Ads of Jacob,

whom the Lord, whom the word of the Lord has

come saying, is your shall be your name? And I

just took twelvestones Tielvestones, friends, according to the word of

the Lord. How important God's word is for us, friends,

How important God's word.

Is for us?

Every word I think it's I think it's second Timoty

if I'm not wrong, or uh secontivity was tree if

I'm not wrong. Friends, Verse sixteen, All scriptures given by

inspiration of God, pomfortable for doctrie, for improved correction, instruction,

or in righteousness. That the Man of God should be complete,

true equip for.

Every good word.

Come on, the Man of God should be complete throughout

equip for every good word. The Man of God should

be complete. The Man of God should be complete. If

we don't have God's word in our life, friends, we

are incomplete.

The word of the Lord has to be in us the.

Man and shall not leave a bird alone by every

word that puts it off from the mouth of God.

The friends, you and I.

In the coming days, there'll be so many challenges those

of a merriat to hold onto your marriage until the

Lord calls you home. To be fitful in your marriage.

It's not just words spoken at the altar. It's a

wedding well taken before God's presence. Temptations would come in

and we will tear couples apart. This is where we

need to stand and believe God. See many times our

journey our life, we just think, oh it got it's

only words, but words as power, friends, and that's why

we can declare that even though I mean pain I'm healed,

even though I mean pain.

I'm healed.

So Tree weeks ago had a very bad fall. And

when you're forty knife, having a bad four friends is

not nice. When you're eighteen, you fall, you can recover

very quickly, but when you're for the night you fall,

it's terrible.

I had a very bad fall.

In my mind, I imagine how I need to fall

to cushion my pain, to cushion my my injury. But

even as your mind thing that you fought a certain way,

but your body, because it's forty nine friends, it doesn't

rare x quickly. So I felt as I knocked the

this part of my shoulder onto a nice concrete flaw.

I felt the pain like what the pain used to

be when you crack your bond, when you fracture your bone.

You know, the sharp pain, the pain that just solve

caused you the blank of for one or two seconds,

that sharp I cain knew that something happened to my

board or something, but I did not attend to it

until three days later. My whole part of my right

hand shoulder was in dark blue or dark purple, and

my whole chance it was dark yellow. By the time

it's got to see a specialist. You say that you

fractured your a bit of your collar bone. There's a

there's a headline cracked there every day. But thank god

your master that next to your arm did not fully

get severed about tree or the torn really, so I

understand if your hundred percent tell your master here, your

whole arm will be useless really because there's no there's

no attachment of ligaments to your head. I was like saying, doctor,

what should I do? Should I put the sling?

Don't?

I got fearful in a friend, I'm very fearful of

breaking because I had a very bad accident when I

was fifteen.

That the bulls is not repaired properly. Well, do not

heal properly.

In fact, that causes my left hand to be the

word is not functioning one hundred percent. So my least

left and that I have right now functionally about sixty

seventy percent. Right, I say this fear about boom being

broken and this stuff like that, that sometimes the word

is healing doesn't come as what you think it's healing.

Isla that very friends, I didn't know how the word

is that changing. It was, But did you know that

when things happened on your shoulder, it is no fun

when you sleep. Every time you move, your master thinks aches.

So the first one week I felt like my whole

right hand set of my body get disconnected dislocated. Really,

that was like sleeping with a huge rotown behind your

back like that. Every time I move, I couldn't butter Now,

I couldn't take out my clothes. I just I felt

it taking by shower, so my left hand, I told

you sixty percent, what's sixth firends? I cannot even scratch

my back when I shower. I say, God, you must

have a funny sense of humor. Here, Lord, you know

my left hand is one condition. Really, please don't take

away my right hand. Please don't take away with my

right hand, because I really want to hear. This is

my only functioning hand that I have, my dominanh ham,

my functioning head. The only hand that I know that

I can. I can hold flat. So my left hand

cannot turn properly, but my right hand can hold flat. Say,

the only time my people give me cash, I can

it properly. If they give me on my left hand,

the money will fall off. So started on my journey,

this whole thing. I say, Lord.

Of all things, why the fall?

Right now? Why right now? You could have tested me

when I was eighteen. You know, first I can really

take pain. When I felt down when I was in

my teens, I was bleeding on my kneecap.

Me and my friends, we're just testing.

Out who can hold onto the who can words, who

can who can hold on and not cry in pain?

Under running water? So running water was going off. We

started to put vi nigger on the open wounds. They say,

come on, be a man. So me and my first

was just doing doing that, like okay, I'm sorry this this,

this is a excese of me. But me, my first

I fell from Mamutan tree before, cocaratre, before I fell

from climing up to the balcony of the house, fell

down before, and stuff like that. The staircase, I mean,

the leather fell at the back before survived all their friends.

But this fall is a bit different.

Because this four and forty nine friends felt I'm being

reminded how oh I am. The Bible says that Elijah

repair the altar according to God's word. My faith took

a beating the very day I felt I was iicing

my shoulder with eyes.

Question came to my mind.

You survive a heart attack already your left hand is

your left hand is almost like broken. To repair my

left hand is about because about a price of X fifty.

At the my boats into three.

Parts and putting one more part just to repair to

get it right. That was about ten years ago. Now

it should be closer to my hunger k to break

the three parts. I say, why if I don't repair

my hand, then your hand by the time you die,

your hand will not be straight. I says, nobody's going

to open the cascade and look and look at this person.

The hand is not straight.

I said, all right, I said, basically my boat is

going to grow, basically because in one hand I cannot

be straight.

Now I said, it's okay. I can live with it.

I can live with it. I told the doctor power

I will not. I say, God can of God twether

I'm going to close. When you go to situation, When

you go to a situation like that, life changing this situation,

wouldn't you question.

God? Why God? Why? Why Lord?

I mean, of all times, at the midst of like

house renovation, my wife had your infection. Now come me

having a shoulder, Say what why like that? Why this happened?

I'm not sure some of us here questions, But why

I said, Lord, being for the night, creaking moss no fun.

I couldn't imagine sixty if you bring your Moses, it's

even not fun at all.

But the Bible just reminds you. Reminds me again.

That even though I walk through the value of shadow,

of defaction, not fear. Come on, when VIC two, God's word,

he reassure me I still have a future and a hope.

Come on, it's not over yet. You may, you may

seems like you are drowning like Peter, but you're not

gonna be overcome by the waves of disappointment.

I'm not sure how many of words here read the

word of the Lord.

Say God, I'm the lowest point of my life. The

Bible says that Elijah was facing a femine in the

time that requires water be poetry times. Some of us

see you when God challenges God, you don't understand having

experiences of femine, of courage, of famine, of encouragement of famine.

Nobody encourages you. You're all by yourself. I've always sitting down,

I tell you them. I think I was more hurt

by the not hurt no one, disappointed by the people.

Calling me uncle. You okay?

Not I reached the stage people calling That's how I

used to me. Brother, you're okay now I'm Are you

all right?

I said?

I am still quite young. I think for the United

it s you okay, don't call me uncle yet? Right,

young kids that I saw you for, I'm okay. I'm like,

I could have died because of the embarrassment of friends.

If you know I'm I say, some of God, we

have this embarrassment in our life, like can't This is

how I'm gonna end? So God reminds me again I

am his child. Come on, you are God's child. You

could be the only one, like Elijah, having to rebuild

the author occorrding to the world of God. Right, you

could be the only one. Friends, you could be the

only one. But would you take courage You're not alone?

Come on, would you take courage that you're not alone?

Right now, I got another three more weeks before I

can move back to my house to stay with my wife.

Me and my wife.

Separated by location. I'm staying with my dad, My wife

is staying with her mom, her family, you know her.

And this extra us.

So it's about close to three months coming out of

three months. Why we can't stay together because our house

is not fitted properly to have two people stay in

the same room by my love, my dad's house and

her house. So I'm staying with my dad. My dad

is by himself after two years. My mom passed away

two years ago, so I really wanted to spend time

with my dad. Asian that typicalation that who doesn't really

talk a lot on friends, if you know what I mean,

He's always there. So when I when I was young

growing up with my dad, he hardly speaks. The only

time he speaks is I had to go to remind

to ask me to improve you understand the environment. So

I say, Dad, you know, I say, I say, I

was praying. I says, I was telling my dad, Dad,

I'm going to come and stay with you.

Come. I moved quickly to his house, so every time

I go back afterwards.

For the past two and a half months, I got

two ministries. One to minister to my wife because it's

not fun when you're living off a suitcase. For ladies,

it's not fun leaving off from suitcase even though she's

the paris of a home. But it's not exactly your home.

You've got no you've got no study table. You understand

what I'm trying to say. You need a place to unwind, right,

you understand that for me, one, I can adapt anywhere I.

Know, I share with you.

I will stay until I realized that my dad at

the back there got a pet red There was a

red at the back there. I discover a red pull

on my bait or so before. So for guys, we

can I can rush it out, can rough it out,

clean up everything. But he said, I say, Dad, and

we'll come into the place to stay. So every night

I missed it with my wife. The character's gonna be

all right, just a few more weeks.

We will get to this.

We're gonna move back because the house was badly in

need of repairs and renovation, badly after fourteen years of staying,

had a hugely huge crack everything. So somethime my wife

will break down because like I think, he's so long

something we can we ourselves can bring up, Because God,

why so long?

Love famine? Really? How long you want to test me?

One? Week, really one month? Really two months? Really love famine?

How long God test someone else? So many of the

Christians say that, oh God came to for a test

them again.

To know that has really full after you.

But sometime my wife is okay, like you know strong,

sometimes like when how long after dropping my wife back

to place in trust?

I go back to my house and put choke at ten.

I will talk to my dad almost every night when

I get a chance to, for one and a half hours.

One and a half hours.

First, I keep you know, for the past two months,

but I have conversation my dad. I calculated in terms

of timer more than my thirty years of my life

staving my dad.

Conversation.

We talk of politics or property, don't know, so you

just try to talk something. And then challenging part this is

that my dad has early stages of memory loss. So

every story he either repeats to you two or three

times in the day or in a week with the

same okay, you know, same sequence, same sequence of things happened,

same emotion. But I look at my dad, I say

that it's okay, you told me before. I don't remind him.

But when I rush it there you told me before.

We came fast forward it so my Dad's okay. Sometimes

I tried to be a very good actor. I like,

like listening for the very first time. Oh is it

tell me a bit more? I know my assignment with

my dad. It's going to come to the end. I

know my dad not very long here. My dad is

a bypass patient and large heart doctor toym.

May just enjoy your life, mister Wong. I'm going to

spend time with him because I got to know this

sell of him.

He doesn't really know I work because I'm like, ever

since I had the full time almost like secrets of reasons,

I don't really tell.

That what I'm doing.

He always thinks full time is always reading the newspaper

at work, like nothing to do on So I told

my dad that she got things to do, only to

found out only to his amazement for what I have

to do at work. Although he doesn't really s I

know that it's quite proud. Sometimes you just want Dad,

this is a proud of you, right, But I know

his own way is trying to say that as a

close First, I wanted to encourage you, but you wouldn't

allow the family to dictate how you live your life.

He may be law and courage you, it doesn't mean

you can't give encouragement. Come on, she may be law

on courage, doesn't mean you can't be courageous. Come on,

she may be law on something. Finances doesn't mean you

can't be generous in your own way. Come on, I'm

not scared to get to debt. But you understand trying

to say. You may be TI in time no time

because of assignment, commitments and stuff like that, but that

doesn't mean that you cannot afford to give time to

the Lord.

So I'm not sure what.

Femine that you're going through right now in your life,

in your in your in your in your situation. But

I want to encourage your friends. Like what Elijah did

friends he rebuilt. He rebuilt friends based on the world

of God. That you and I are friends in our

own life. As I close, which you rebuild your life,

say God, you must have a purpose of MEANWI, I'm

still here. You must have a purpose of me and

why I'm still here. I'm not here just to prove

my point. I'm not here to show that I'm smarter.

I'm here because I want to show people about your

faithfulness of your goodness. How to tell people how much

you love me, how much you love my family. I

want to tell people how much you care for us. Friends,

I want to encourage you. Don't let the spirit of

Jezebel on aheap to cost you to be quiet, to

cause you to be like, just accept it to cause

you to conform, whereas whereas God asks you to be transformed.

Don't look at handling taking care of your aging parents

as a child, even though you don't have a good upbringing.

Say Lord, I may be low impatience, but I want

to sew in patience.

I was sold to have patience. Lord.
