For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of Lord as the waters cover the sea | Pr Sandra Chin

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

We hope this message will light up your tea.

For the earth MOMENI you read it with me? One, two, three,

For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of

the glory of the Lord. As the waters cover the sea.

Where does this come from? Haberkerk Chapter two and verse fourteen. Amen,

Haberkerk Chapter two and verse fourteen. Is this Old Testament

or New Testament? Amen? All right? You hope you know

where the book Haberkerk is from. And this is very

much the vision of our church that for the earth

will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of

the Lord. I forgot what the Lord as the waters

cover the sea, haberkerk two, verse fourteen. And this is

the verse that speaks about, you know, the glory, glory

of the Lord that will cover the whole earth. Amen.

God wants? What does God want? And I want to

share that with you today. And we have many thoughts

about missions. Some people have heard the word missions, some

people have never some people have no idea what it is.

The word missions doesn't exist in the Bible. It is

a word coined or over by That means that you

kind of find the word missions. That means, it's a

descriptive word that was coined by the believers to be

able to explain and so missions in one in a

short way, it's just, you know, it just simply means,

you know, moving from one comfort zone, from one of

our own culture to reach someone else of another culture,

to come from our own comfort zone moving to another

culture that is different. And you already see this with Jesus.

Jesus was very comfortable in heaven, you know, see in

the heavenly places already with Father God and the Holy Spirit.

But God said, who will I send? Because the earth

needs a savior. I've been trying to use the different ones,

but they can't seem to catch it. So God said

who will go? And he said, you know, And then

Jesus said, here am I send me? And so Jesus

had to leave heaven and come to earth. Earth is

a beautiful earth. It got made, but it's a messy

earth because sin rain due to Adam and Eve, who

you know, just instead of following following their father God,

they believed the serpent and they fell. So sin entered

the world. When did sin entered the world? It entered

the world when Adam and he believed Satan took the

fruit they should have never taken. And when sin came,

the earth became messy and messy. Until today we are

the we're still experiencing while we find Jesus in our lives.

And we received Jesus. When we have repented from our

sin and returned to the Lord, we have eternal life. Amen,

we have been you know, forgiven. And so the penalty

of sin, we have been freed from the penalty of sin.

And about however, the presence of sin remains. So Jesus

came from a beautiful, beautiful place, but he came to

a very messy earth. He's not afraid of our sin.

He's not afraid of our pain and our shame. He

came to walk this earth to give us that hope

and a future, a future and a hope in him.

So missions means to for us to move from one

of our own comfort zone, moving to another, a culture perhaps,

or to somebody that we may never have met or

do not know them, to share the good news of

Jesus Christ. That's where the word missions In short, are

you again talk so longer? No time today, but every time?

So no time? Hi yah? So hopefully honest because we'll

be able to share. But I just want to say

to us when this word says for the earth will

be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the

Lord as the waters cover the sea. This knowledge of

the Lord, somebody has to bring that knowledge. And first

person that came and gave his life for us is Jesus.

He's our big brother. Amen, Thy God, Thy all right?

And then he say, the big brother, the firstborn before

all of us, and he's our example. This knowledge of

the glory of the Lord. How can we bring it

to the earth as we live on the earth. Okay,

So that's my title. We want to see the whole

earth filled with the knowledge of the glory of the

Lord as the waters cover the sea. Amen. So one

of the things you know the Bible, and if you

didn't already know, maybe maybe we don't realize it, but

the Bible really is a story about God. It's not

about you. And we' so selfish and we've been taught

as if it's all about us. It's not. When you

read the Word of God, you find out more about God.

When people read the Bible, you find out more about God.

It is about what God has for us, what he's

doing and what he's saying to us. He's revealing himself

to us. And you know, sometimes when you want to

know somebody, you've got to spend time get to know

that person. If you have never Okay, let's say if

you you know, people write biographies, So if you want

to know I Linpuncture writes a biography. Then we read

and then that book reveals about who she is you

wried about, you know, anybody that maybe has gone and

we don't know them, but the biography will tell us

about their life, and that it reveals to them who

they are, what they've done, how they feel. Right. So well,

I'm not saying this is a biography. This is the

word of life. But in this word of life, life

giving words. It's not just a print bibe. But you

can throw it around. Maybe you have in the cupboard.

It's collecting us, hey, but it's really the word of life.

And I hope everyone will begin to fly with us,

and you know, fly with us, run with us, and

own your own Bible, because this is God's word to us.

He's revealing himself to you and to me through his word. Amen.

So reading God's word will reveal who God is to us.

Please don't just get hooked up on watching YouTube messages.

That's somebody else's message. It is not God's word. Okay,

I'm so tired of people watching YouTube messages but never

reading the word of God. Come on, you spend so

much time reading other things, watching Netflix, but not enough

time to read the word of God. And I'm not

just speaking at you, I'm speaking to myself as well.

And this is the word that reveals who God is.

The Bible is really the story about our God. He

is a missionary God. He has been coming to man

from day one. He created man that man would worship him,

that will fellowship. Sin robbed us of that, and he

has been trying to redeem us to different ways, trying

to creature us. But we sin is so we allow

sin to just continue work and then it stops, and

Satan is not going to give up. So you don't

read the word of God, you cannot know God when

you don't spend time with somebody. I cannot know you

spending time God cannot. We cannot see God because he's holy.

We will, we will dissolve. But his word is really

really revealed to us. We want to read it. Time

is not on our side, Church, time is not on

our side. You know, the world has got so much

things going on. It's not like you're going to live forever.

But the Word of God will be forever. And if

you have Christ, you will have eternal life, so so important,

and this eternal life. I'm forever grateful that Jesus found me.

I'm forever grateful to someone who worship other gods today

because my friends, she had the good news to me.

What is the good news That Jesus died on the

cross for me and took my sins. And when I

repented of my sin and said, Lord, forgive me, he

came into my life. He turned my life around. And

that's how I came to no Christ. I was a

worship of other gods that were that really did not

give me life or truth. In fact, it suffered through

different no confidence, no identity, didn't know who I was,

going through all kinds of beliefs. But God came to

me a friend, my fourteen year old classmate that shared

with me, and of course I said, no, thank you,

speak to the hand. But one year later I had

that opportunity again and God touched my heart and I

received him as my personal Lord and savior. And then

this book of life became real to me. And this

is many years, forty years over of me following Christ.

I'm ever grateful that God came into my life. I

don't know about you. You have you do you remember

the story of how you came to know Jesus and

how precious Amen. God is just drawing people to him,

not because to drawing people to him, to worship him,

to love him, to love him because we choose to

love him, not because he is. That's the word insecure.

Go like, you have to worship me. You have to

worship you know, because God is so worthy. As we

come to him, as we discover him, he began, you know,

as we recognize his glory and know, wow, this awesome God.

He himself wants to bless us, wants to release to

us the plans, the beauty and the glory. You give

him glory and he will bless back glory to us.

To the glory. What is glory? And you will do

this in homes notes as well, the glory of God.

Just the word glory means weight. It is substantial, it

is substance, It is honest honor. It is just you know,

the It's like a reward, its fullness. The glory of

God is heavy. How would I say? It's a weight.

And until you begin to pursue God, you will not

fully You know grass the glory of God. And God

wants you to know that glory, to experience the blessing,

the weight, the beauty. The English words fail me. Shakhaah

blah blah. I don't have the English words for it.

And when we lack that knowledge of that glory of

the Lord, then we don't know how to serve the Lord.

We don't know how to live that gives God glory.

We live for ourselves. We live thinking it's all about us,

but it's not. It's really about the Lord who comes

into our lives and restores what the devil has robbed

us and lied to us. And we think that God

is keeping something from us, but no, God gives us fullness.

I am really testament of God's restoration and I'm still

following him from my teenage years and into now my fifties.

God is still good and I'm still getting to know him. Amen.

You know, ex church is inundated, whether you like it

or not. We will continue to pursue God's heart. God's

heart is for the loss, and God's heart is to

see people come to know Him. And that's why we

actively plun churches. Why do we have an excher us,

Why do we have an exity life or ex brick

fews that reaches out to the deaf community. It's not easy.

We continue to plant in England and Germany is coming up.

In a month's time. I will be traveling there. We're

going to launch ex Germany. With the little that we have.

We will have the oldest missionaries in their sixties. They're

going to plant the church for the Lord. Why do

we do that? You can think that, oh, but as

first world they might be first world brains, but they

have no spirit. They have lost the knowledge of God

in the West, and we need to bring back that

knowledge of Christ that they will experience the glory of God. Amen, hallelujah.

So I have this next light that says missions exists

because worship doesn't. What do I mean? Why do we

have missions? Why are we doing You know, all these

work that we do globally and locally, missions exist. And

this is written by John Piper who said this missions

exist because worship doesn't. What does that mean? We want

to just I want to. I want to implore your

hot church so that you will continue to grow in

your knowledge of God. And the glory of God is

what you want to encounter every day. You know, every

everything that you do, you want to you just want

to give God the glory. You want to experience his glory.

You know in the Book of Exodus, and I bring

you backwards a little bit to the Book of Exodus,

and Exodus is the book where you read about how

God wanted to take the people of the Jewish nation.

They weren't the nation yet. I mean, they were a group,

a whole nation that was living in Egypt in the

good days under Joseph who was the prime minister and

the Pharaoh who knew them and opened up that land

called Goshen in Egypt, and they lived there for four

hundred and thirty years. And then God said, after four

hundred and thirty years, I'm going to bring them out

and give them and then they will have to take

on the promised land Canaan, which is what you see

today's Israel. And no matter what you read in the

news and say, this is not their land. They fought

for it, They conquered, and they took the land that

God had said to them, you conquer and take it.

So regardless what you read in the newspaper, read your Bible,

then you will know why that land is theirs, because

God wanted them to have it. He didn't just give

it to them. They had to conquer the land. So

he said, I'm going to bring them out and put

them there. So what does he say, was he what

was he saying? They just slaves? Yes, they were slaves.

After a while they became slaves, and four hundred and

thirty years they lived there. And then he called for

that person who will bring them out, all right, the deliverer,

The deliverer Moses. So I won't go to history on Moses.

Read the Bible for yourself that you know. And I

just want to say, God called Moses, and Moses had

every excuse. I know, clair Villa, I cannot speak La,

I know handsome law whatevera okay, I cannot do is la.

And do you know Moses was trained in the Egyptian

traditions and culture. He actually hebrew says, he spoke eloquently.

And yet when God asks you serve me and you,

and I will always say the bully, I ain't good enough. Yeah, anyway,

Moses gave all the reasons. God, God, God really got

upset with him and say, okay, you bring your brother

Aaron and he will be your voice and let him

speak on your behalf. I'm choosing you. You done that.

Sometimes we are like that. Of you all will say

yes anytime. Basically, we are made to serve the Lord.

I will come to that. Missions exist because worship doesn't.

What does that mean? Before I became a Christian, I

worship false gods. They cannot hear me. They are as

they are there. When true gods they couldn't lead me

to eternity. When I came to know Christ, in my experience,

I came to know the true and living God. The

tomb is empty, there is nobody in there in the toomb.

Jesus rose again from the dead, and then I worship him.

I no longer worship the idols. I've lived like that

for many years, and in fact curses were on my life,

but Jesus broke those curses over my life. Really curses

that just it's like that when you don't know God,

the curses are on your life, you never amount to anything.

You're ugly. Forever you think like that, you can never

do well. But the God took away that curse. And

when I was born again in Jesus, I experienced this

new life. And then I worshiped the Living God. And

as I worshiped the Living God, I began to serve him.

There's not one time in my walk with Jesus have

I sat in the seats and done nothing. I served,

whether I was usher or I was doing XTV those days.

XTV is not sou chungala. It's called oh HP overhead

projector whah. If you see it today, you're like ancient

got slight like sly said it okay? Or I was

I organizing the chess, or maybe I have to throw

the trash, maybe we have to drive people to church.

Never once in my forty years in my life have

I not worshiped to serve, or my service was a

worship to the Lord. There was no need to ask

the Lord if I should serve. I serve until God

says no. Today we all say I'll serve. Once I

hear the Lord tell me to serve, I want to

tell you he ain't gonna tell you Linus, please serve.

You should just serve. And then when you do something,

and just like Paul, no, Liners, don't go to Jerus

this week. Stay in so many as, then you don't

go Lah. Now Paul wanted to go away. Paul wanted

to make his way to other parts of Europe, and

the Lord said, no, you go the Macedonian call, you

go to Greece, not to the other side of Europe.

But he never says stop going unless basically, we keep

going until God says no because there's something else to do.

Missions exist because people aren't worshiping him. God wants our

worship because he doesn't want us to worship false gods.

That's what Satan has done again. You either are for

God or you are for yourself or for other gods.

You can be a God yourself. Your child can be

a god. Your money can be your god, your job

can be your god, your girlfriend can be a god.

But is God the God who says to you and

leads you. You worship him, you serve him. I think

I'm old enough and been long enough in church life

to tell you what I've seen. I've seen the failures,

I've seen everything I will have to tell you what

is truth. I cannot not tell you the truth because

whatever you may have gone through in those who have

been Christian for a long time, whatever it is, do

not hang your service because of one man who hurt you.

Wake up church. Just because Senda failed you, you don't

serve God anymore. Who is she? She's just another vessel

who is weak and God transforms her life. But she

makes a mistake, doesn't mean forever she's dadler. She will

rise from her mistakes. If you have to say sorry,

she will apologize. But don't let my mistake stop you

from trusting God and the man of God that got

plays to lead us to do the work of the Lord.

And therefore many believers fail to serve the Lord because

we think it's about us. It's a very urgent message.

I am the missions pastor, but I cannot be the

missions pastor because I don't know nothing. It's because he's

been with me for years. This man is I shared

with you. I just want you to know so many

of us used to not worship God, but today we do.

As you come to church every week, don't say that

boring la because the same lineers is leading with shame.

You know the same Elaine is cooking the food for you.

Are you borrowing? I need some superstars. Get better at

what you want. Wake up a little bit earlier. Try

not to sleep in the service. Try to give God attention.

Come on, try not to yearn so much. What were

you doing last night watching Netflix? Burn it? Burn it

seriously because you're not learning anything that's life giving. It

teaches you rubbish and it breaks down your life. If

you and I follow the world system, you will live

and be like what you worship. God doesn't want us

to worship the things that are not him. What you worship,

you will serf. Ask yourself, who are you really worshiping?

Because what you worship, you will serf seriously. And God

doesn't want us to worship the things that are false,

because we will become like that. We will. You don't

realize it. I worship other gods. I didn't know God.

I seek God. I want to. I believe there was

a God, but I didn't know Jesus was the way,

and I became like that as a young person. My

life just just rob from me because the devil is

a liar and he will make us turn out back

on God because he wants to be God. I want

to say to us, true worship exists when we worship

the Living God and there's only one way to God,

and it's Jesus, and he came for us. Therefore, mission, friends,

missions exist because not everyone on the face of the

earth is worshiping the Lord, true Living God. There are

many more tribes. Tribes means that all kinds of people

that live on the earth that have no chance to

hear the good news. We need to reach them or

we need to do something. An ex church has a

part to play. We really support missionaries evangelists in China,

in East Malaysia to do the work because you and

I cannot go into the jungles. You got no time

to go. How So, missions exist because worship doesn't. So

when Exodus, when God said I'm going to bring the

people out, they thought probably until today. Maybe that's why

at that time the Israelites thought that bpe, this is

God's way to cheat the Pharaoh to how they say,

to get them out as slave so that they're free

from slavery. Okay, just it's a tipu hella helaala, just

a bluff thing. You're not just bluff the pharaoh lada.

You know what God says. This is what God says

in the word. If you read Exodus chapter seven, verse sixteen,

Exodus chapter eight, Exodus chapter nine, Exodus chapter thirty ten,

this is the one word. The word goes like this.

Let my people go, know full stop, continue that they

may serve me. Let my people go, most of us

stop and let my people go. That's why I let

the pharaoh like only reading. Let my people go. What

lazy for us? Don't work? Here? Is it all? My

slave's gone? Ready? No, carry on, Let my people go,

so that they may serve. Exchange the words serve, give

me another word so that they may worship. He wanted

his people to worship, because when we worship the Living God,

we become like our father. We began to receive his glory. Oh,

the weight, the fullness, the substance. I don't even know

how to explain it to you, but I have to

tell you there is a weight, There is such a war,

and that glory can only have experienced as you worship.

How many times every time we come to worship. When

you are deep in worship, you just sense the nearness

of God. Worship brings us near to God. Watching Netflix

brings you far from God. So we worship to God

that we come near to God. That's what let my

people go, that they may so me. Was ship and

then people, and so the ex in Exodus you will

read over Exodus and numbers the children of Israel. They

thought it was just a way to take them out

from slavery. And so they thought it's all about them.

And they kept complaining throughout the time for forty years

about what nothing to eat, nothing to drink, my shoes,

the same shoe. I want to bund new Adida shoe.

Cannot same shoe, same shoe, never tear. You read it,

the shoe never broke their shoe from him. They were

five years old, forty years, forty five years old. For

forty five year wearing the same Adida shoe. I yah

cannot go shopping. I had the same t shirt. I'm

wearying extra still said tish, never tear, never still knew

God a miracle. For forty years they wore the same shoe.

And then they were always talking about nothing to eat,

my diet, this place like sad. But they never never

grasped that God wanted to bring them near to worship.

They missed the point and that's why they complain. But

if they knew, there's more than just slavery. And yes,

I'm under the Punja Jahan of the Egyptians, you know,

the ruling rulership. It's more than that. It's like Call

wanted them to experience him and brought them to the

Red Sea. Whoa, And still they complain and they complain

and they complain, and some of us are like that,

there's nothing else they come off our mouth. But I

don't like that rad bad. I don't like that pow.

I don't like that. Make that one. I don't like

I don't like you know that that one? And this

one girl's face. So I don't like everything we do.

Complain and complaint. He says, thank you Jesus. I don't know,

Mamada buy their house. At least you got a house,

great fool, I must be gratefool. At least Elimbrah went

quay for you. She didn't make meat balls, la but yeah,

she brought a quay for you. Come on, God said,

let my people go. It didn't full stop. It wasn't

just to set them free from slavery. It was so

that they could come new to worship Him. And at

the end of the day, it's really for us and

for all peoples of the earth or whether you speak

Howking malially, the Lago Cantonese. We came to worship the Lord.

It's not about English language only Amen. Next, worship is

the goal of missions. Worship is the goal all of missions.

So therefore missions is not just for the few missionaries.

You go all a pastor, you're the missions fast. Oh yeah,

it's not me. I want you to come along with

me because even though we keep sewing, that's all we do.

We sew, we sw we sow in the heart of

that person. We pray Holy Spirit touch them that their

heart will be open. Crossing culture, getting from the uncomfortable,

from the comfortable to the uncomfortable. Our lives are very busy.

It's become like that work takes over family life, Lord

Church even we are with their things to do. Thank

God for jur You know, I'm very grateful that I

grew up in my late teens in church because it

built me up. All that I can do, learning to

do different things wasn't because of my home, but it's

because of my church. As I grew out. I learned

so many things. So I'm grateful for the church in

the community. But it's also the church that brought me

out to see the needs after loss. My first mission trip.

You will laugh at me, thinking were very far right.

They asked me, Sandra, I think I was eighteen, No,

I was probably twenty already. You want to go for

a mission trip way Melocer William's church. That William was

a small boy, you're William, Okay? I went them like girl.

But well, there's so many things you do in missions.

We went to encourage the existing church, even us here

when someone comes and speak and tell us stories. But

what God is doing encourage just us. So we encourage

the church. Other times I had to. I went aroun

Asli and then we reach out to them. Back in

the day, it is so scared we get caught, you know,

because the police will say, who are you getting in

your vent? Back in the day? Back in the day.

A lot of things back in the day cannot do,

but we win. All I'm saying is the goal of

the word. Worship is the goal of missions. We want

people to worship the Lord, and worship not just about

the singing It's about living your life for the glory

of God. Worship doesn't mean music. Worship doesn't mean the songs.

Worship just means surrender. Yes, Lord, you are my God.

Everything I do is whatever that you told me in

your Bible. I will do it lot and only when

he doesn't want you to do it. That's when you

That's when God will say, stop you laying, don't go,

but everything else go. That's what I learned as we

look at the glory of God, because He's He's everything

that's that's No. You don't have to ask me, like

you know past Or Nick says, can you line the

chess up? Sure? Can you pick up so and so? Sure?

I should be able to say sure, ala okay, not

like I let me pray about it, arrange the chess,

let me pray about it. We need help in me, like, oh,

let me pray about it. I'll do whatever God leads me.

Now that I hear people tell me that I want

to warm meetler because I'm saying I have your church

needs you line us answered the call because we needed help.

He doesn't have to do this. Did he tell me

you'll pray about it? I won't friend him laughter that

your church needs you. My teens. We need help with teens.

Come and help us. I'm asking you, and you tell

me you will pray about it and see where God leeds.

You just say my church needs me. I will come

do whatever until God says no, don't do this now

you wait. That's what he told Paul. And then Paul

had not wait and wait forever and drink peanut, go laden. No.

He was sent to Macedonia and he went to the

to another part. So I want to change out, transform

my own heart as well, to stop saying no, because

I need to pray about it, to see whether it

is God's will for me to feed the poor. Come on, Peo, Paul,

the people, the food, the food, the food needs the people.

People need the food. And it's just gonna take two

hours of your time plus plus there's gonna okill all

in all four hours because you're to travel there. I

don't need to pray about it. It's here, it's here

in care. The refugees need it. Okay, I will go.

I'm just saying what stirs in my heart. How will

I respond? Of course, if I can't do it now,

I'm sorry. Now I got the child to feed it

got the grandmother who's sick. I can't. But I'm not

going to say no, I'm willing. I just can't do it. Now.

Is there another chance? At least you say like that,

It sounds more to do a bit to the years la.

But then you say, let me pray about it, and

if God leads me, I will go. Okay. How long

you need to pray about it? Because they need to eat.

Dora Astley needsitution. They cannot go to school. The government

will not give them school until they convert to become Muslim.

So once set the day a month, they cannot worship

because they don't know worship is the goal of missions.

Jesus said this Matthew for and verse ten, when the

Satan told him, you come up, I'll take you and

I'll give you all this world. You bow down and

worship me. What do Satan want from us? He wants

worship from God's creation. God creates it. Lucifer, when I

don't know, doesn't say, but he created him way, way,

and go wherever. He lifted up his heart and said,

I want to be like God. That's what he told.

If you will be like God, if was all freddy

like God, because he was. She was the child of God.

Let us make men the Us, God, Sun and Holy

Spirit was already in Eve and Adam. And yet Satan

the serpent said, you know, if you eat that fruit,

you will be like God. She was already like God.

So Ahitan said to Jesus forty days hungry, no water,

no doing, no water, no food. You bow down now

and worship me. I'll give you the whole world, because

right now the earth is under his reign. God is

overall overall. Ah. But right now Satan reigns here in

the air that heavens whatever he influences. But this, Jesus answer,

you shall worship the Lord your God, and him only

you shall serve. Coman, Jesus said, you shall worship the

Lord your God, and him only you shall serve. Jesus

was at his weakest when Satan trew dead at him.

He's always at our weakest that we get tempted. Thank you, Jesus,

you didn't give up. You didn't let Okay, Now whatever,

I'm so hungry, you give me nour. Eat the bread

now which your stone, actually that stone into bread, he said,

And this makes so much sense. Worship doesn't even begin

with music. It begins with who you serve, right, guys,

It's not about the music or the sound system. Worship

ministry is about your heart. Your heart, they say, I

love you Lord, I'm getting to love you more and more.

I don't think my love for God is so big liked.

I think I also learning to love God a little

bit more than yesterday. So Jesus said, you worship the Lord,

your God, and him only. You shall serve. What you serve,

you will worship. And that's why people who serve money

will go for golf on Sunday to make the business

deals on the golf course. These are believers, They say,

God can wait. I need the business deal. I need

my promotion. So Sunday is taking up my space. So

maybe if they say they are Christian, they may have

They may need to come back to know why and

what God has done for them. You give your two

hours three hours to the Lord on Sunday, then go

play the golf and make the business deal. I think

you will make a lot of money after that. You

put God first. You what you serve, you will worship.

You serve golf, you will worship golf. You serve your boss.

You will worship your boss. Sure, it's like that. It's

like that. It's like that. If I love baking, if

I keep baking, I will worship my baking. Even my work.

I love my work. But I can't tell you. I

can't I love me what I do wake up in

the morning. I have to discipline myself. No, I need

to worship you first, not do my work. And my

work is a lot. I like doing my work cloud,

which is full time and full time some word people,

to deal with paperwork, to deal with all kinds of things,

to deal schedules, to do organized missionships, all this part.

But I cannot do that because I like doing it.

But if I serve that, I will worship that, thank

God will not be in the picture. That means what

God has blessed me. And I'm not worshiping the creation,

not the creator. Oh so we're important, right, moving on

if I'm gonna be late. So the next verse here

says what so why why missions? Why? Because we say,

because worship doesn't exist? Right, so why May the nations

praise you? Oh God, Yes, may all the nations praise you.

Let the whole world sing for joy, the glory of

God to be revealed to the nations, to the whole world.

You and I want was that lost person didn't know

about that? I should know God and worship him. God

wants the nations to worship him. God wants all peoples

to come near to Him so that when they see

his glory and give him glory. The actual generous, hole generous,

so generous. The generosity of God is what he does.

He says, you worship him, you give him Glory's it

is said that he just out of his generosity of

knowing how you love him and worship him, he pause

his generosity over us. He never holds back. He always

gives more than we need. Amen. And so you know

whatever happened, when do I take you back the nations?

Right when the Exodus happened, and what's his name, mister

Moses let the people out from Egypt and the plagues happened,

they were miracles because I think plague number three onwards,

or plague number four, it only counna the Egyptians, but

the people in Goshian the Jews did not experience the flies,

or the darkness or the frogs. They didn't. But the

land of Egypt, God wanted to tell Pharaoh, let my

people go that they may worship him. Yes, his heart

was hardened because God wanted him to know that there's

only one God at the end of the day. Wasn't

because he wanted to kill the Pharaoh know he wanted

them to know him, because they were already worshiping all

kinds of gods, not the true God. So the Jewish

people were supposed to be the light and salt, but

they were so about themselves. They forgot to shine for

God and keep complaining about I don't have fish to eat,

I don't have garlic to eat. I don't have onions

to eat, I don't have bird to eat, guela meat. Right,

So the whole point is made. The nations praise You.

Where we worship and together? Where do we sing in

hokeen we do? We sing in Swahili, wather we sing

in Tama, weather we singing Malayalam, whether we sing in Mandarin,

whatever language, Bahasa, don't despise you. We always like Malaysia,

but he's still a people group. If we sing in

the club language or the Lambawang language or the milana

whever Malaysia goes. So many tribes yet to be rich.

Sounds different Iban language made the nations worship the Lord. Amen, Amen,

and again the next light, declare his glory among the nations.

He wonders among all the people. The sorry type, Peter,

So he's wonders among all the people like the bully. Okay, sorry,

declare his glory among the nations. It is about the

glory of God. As I share this with you when

you go for homes. This will be easier for you

to discuss, all right, because I wrote the notes. Oh, okay,

declare is glory among the nations, and he's wonders among

the people. So the Jewish people were supposed to declare

God's glory among the nations. Watching and truly, when they

saw what happened to Egypt and Pharaoh, they were like

the fear of the Lord. When say, wow, there is

a God who fights for the Jewish people, and he

still fights for them. He still fights for them until today.

So whatever's going to happen is going to happen. But

God will fight for them because they will have nobody

else to help them, No American nor England, no body

bombs will come. Then they're like okay, oh, baise law,

and they have to turn back to the Lord, and

it is the lot will help them, and then the

nations will go like whoa. Even in that times of Exodus,

the nations had the fear of the Lord jet throw.

His father in law was not a Jew, said whoa.

He said, give glory to God. I can't imagine how

he let two million people out and protected them. Led

by fire, pillar of fire at night and a pillar

of cloud at the daytime. I won law you so

one tell you there that one pillow of fire. That's

the business to you code, heyd. But that's how God led.

It was supernatural. They traveled at night, they travel in

the daytime. They travel anytime that God said, go So

today you and I refused to change. He said, I

don't like change. Oh you always do. These white pass

said allow my company. In that time in the exodus,

there was no such time as my time. No, no, God, no, Now,

let me have my few children first, after I give

birth everything, then then I can serve you. Okay, Now

now you can move me to the nations. No, no,

I can a lot. It's my time. I cannot leave

my job. Now. No, let me make my million first, no,

God's calling you now to go. No. No. Whenever he

said now it's time to move, they had to move.

Whether it was at night, morning, afternoon they moved, or

it was time to stay. They'll stay there for two

five years? Five how many years? Sailor time to go?

Okay go. I don't know how he led two million

people the uncle Moses, no head phonder, Hello, everybody, text

them now it's time to go. The two million people. Yo,

how to tell hello? No? No, no, loud yell. But

that's the amazing thing. I don't know. They had. Their

groupings are like elf, you know, the fifties and hundreds

and the finally just take care one they had. That's

how we do leadership right here. Leader of ten, leader

of fifty, leaders one hundred. It's biblical. And they looked

and they said, wow, there's a god who fights for

the Jewish people. And God wanted them to stand in

that all and to know him. That was his point

that all nations will worship him. Amen. All right, now

I have to close soon, so I'm going to have

closed it with this verse Genesis chapter twelve, verse one

to three, but I only highlighted verse three, and I'm

thinking most of you would have seen this verse before.

Now Genesis chapter twelve, verse one. We're going all the

way back to Genesis chapter one, chapter one, Buler, chapter twelve.

And this is Abraham. It all started with Abraham. Why

we call him father? Abraham has many sons, many sons?

Has Father Abraham? Have you sang that song before? Father

Abraham has many sons, many sons? Has Father Abraham? I

remember singing this song. I'm like a Paula going here,

who's this Abram? Because I was so in New Christian

Non you so already know? I read again and again.

Oh he Father Abraham really is the start, the one

person who believed God to say that. When he had

no baby, no child, no son, no daughter, God said,

you will have descendants like this stars in the sky.

And Abraham looked at outside Genesis fifteen. U see okay?

He said, okay you No, there was no Jewish nation.

It was birth from Abraham that starts with Father Abraham.

Abram was not Jewish or jew He was gentle. But

when he said yes God, God accounted to him as righteousness,

covered him in righteousness. That's why you and I were

not you when we say yes, Lord, we inherit the

promise of Abraham, and that promise is in Genesis, chapter twelve,

verse one to three. Okay, if you have a Bible

turned to Genus is chapter twelve, verse one to three. Now,

this uncle Abraham actually comes from the ur of Chaldeans,

and this is somewhere in the Middle East, Babylona, something

that that part of the world. And then God called

him out from his country. So the Lord said to

Abram that time, his name Abrahm, not Abraham. Yet, the

Abraham is the father of many nations. The Abram is

not father of many nations. Further, okay, so now the

Lord has said to Abram, get out of your country,

from your family, from your father's house, to a land

that I will show you. I will make you a

great nation. I will bless you and make your name great,

and you shall be a blessing. I will bless those

who bless you, and I will curse you who curse

him who curses you, And in you all the families

of the earth shall be blessed. WHOA all right, Now,

when you look at that verse one two says get

out of your country. He was very comfortable in his

own country or of the Chaldeans or Chaldeans mnella. But

you know in the because they all came from the

lineage of Adam. But many is many, many generations already

they may not have known God personally, they know God.

But now God was calling out and say, would you

leave that land? I'm gonna take you to promised land? Okay?

Not now wait, don't know. Oh, time is out, okay.

And so then then he say yes, right, and what

is the promise? He says. God says, I will bless you,

bless you, bless you. You do that in your homes,

not oh, bless you, bless you, bless you. And then

worse tree is my slide. And in you all the

families of the earth shall be bless amen, all the

families of the earth, meaning the you is Earth, and

the families of the earth. The word earth is if

we break it down and you study it, it means

all the ethnicity, all the ethnic groups, fne many people groups,

They're gonna be blessed. It's not just one group. It

was just kept to the Jews. God not only one

of the Jews. He wanted them to be the example,

but they just lost it. They He never saw it.

It's for everyone, So for us today, God has blessed

you so that you can be a blessing. God has

blessed you. Then you think about you go home and think,

or you think now, what did God bless you now

that you can use as a blessing to your friend

who is not yet a believer or even a believer.

What are you blessed with that you can be a

blessing a man, which my next lighte says, you are

blessed to be a blessing. Maybe not keep what we

know to ourselves, but maybe be ready to bring it

to others. You have been blessed with finances, You've been

blessed with the ability to speak. You've been blessed with

skills that others don't have. You have been blessed with

knowledge I don't have. You have been blessed with skill

use to do sound sound bless you. You're so many

things that I'm so limited, but you're blessed. When you

are blessed, you are going to be a blessing. You

can use your skill for the nation. You build this

nation so that the people's here will be blessed. And

God wanted that all the time. God he's not a

selfish God. He doesn't like you, wash Man, I leave

you to die. No, God said I bless you all right.

I will move in your life so that you can

be a blessing. You stop saying that you don't have

you ask the Lord God, you have blessed me with

the one gift that I have. What can I do?

Is it even to smile at somebody? Nobody smiles at right? Yeah?

People who cannot smile right good. But when you smile

at emma, they're like, SMI and I do that every day.

I'm nice. I love oh loudendl sa hello to me. Yeah,

when you smile at them and they're like, what are you smiling?

And sometimes a beautiful smile like yours can make somebody's day.

It cause you, nothing, didn't cause you an I'm in

a leg. Didn't you go to t T at empty

to take out my knee? You just smiled, And a

beautiful smile is yours again. Sorry, it's going to bless somebody.

That's my last light anyway, the most lights. So I

want to encourage us. What where does missions I'm not

even saying, hey, guys, I want you to go here,

go there? I am not saying that you decide what's

before us in Malaysia. The nations are before us. They

are here. What are we doing to reach any refugees?

You know? A long time ago the Somali group in

Nilai sight ex Neeli went out to them. They were Muslims.

But we help them, the Kneeli team and help them.

They are for were grateful. We are no longer doing

the work because they've been moved. But they always say

when nobody helped us, the church helped us? What did

we do? We played with their children, We taught them English.

Did they cost us money? A million dollars? You can

get to buy toys, to buy colored pencils, to buy

English workbooks. The Somali group that were refugees in Malaysia

many years back, ex Neili went out to them, and

you think it's a big deal, Yes, because they don't

know the love of God and I did not preach them. Jesus.

We preach the love of Christ to them without telling them.

They would have to ask. And they know we are

church because nobody helped them until much later. Do you

have some color pencils? Your man's very good, because mine

isn't teach them you are blessed to be a blessing

so that someone gets to receive it. Because the goal

of missions is to bring people to worship. Right, yeah,

I'm so late. The worship is really why we do missions.

These people will come to worship a lot. It's it's

missions is a very expensive outreach that we do. I

don't know how it's expensive something. I don't know what's

the word by etiquette to go, you know, to Russia,

not go and do mission trep by ticket to buy

even go to East Malaysia has gone up. Everything is

gone up. Do I stop doing? I can't. I got

to slowly build it up again, to go go deep

into the going to the interior because the second generations

East Malaysians, our tribes are losing their faith, in fact

being converted. So there's so much to be done, so

much to be done. There are people who've heard the

name Coca Cola, mister bean, but they've never heard the

name of Jesus never. So you and I may have

heard the name and the gospel preached to you probably

ten times over. But there are people who sit in

our big cities in the UK, in Germany, in Australia.

You get angry, why you want a plant church there?

I tell you what. These are the churches. These are

the countries that have lost their faith. That's why we're there.

It's very slow work, but we need to be liked.

And when as long God leads, when God says it's

time up, we will leave. We won't be there anymore

because we are not Australian. So however, what we plan,

we plan to plow as much as we can, and

then it's time to go, we go. But that's when

God says, go go out, but to go in, and

there's no stopping. Go in to do God's work, not

to live the better life, the slumber life in Australia.

Everybody wants to mi great, eat the good of the land.

But are you going to prepare to preach the gospel?

No time my child got football, so I cannot do

preach gospel. We have so much to answer to the Lord. Friends,

we have so much to answer to Jesus. You and

I were give an account what we did with our time,

what we did with our lives, what we did with

our money, what we do with our talents. I don't

know what we did with whatever are we had, what

did I do with ex church? I will have to

give an account if I don't do it right according

to God's word. It's not meant to be solemn or

scolding you. It's meant to say, guys, wake up. It's

time to wake up. Read the Bible, and it's about God.

Find out who he is, what he's saying to us,

and what can to come near to him, to worship him, amen,

to love him, and to serve him at the end

of our days, to serve him, not ourselves.
