That's how we love God's word. Amen. We love God. We don't

hearts. Amen. We meditate on God's word. Amen. So this is

the word of God. Jesus is the living word of God. You gotta

get this into your spirit. How come Jesus like that? Yes, this

is not just that the Jesus that you read in the gospels. But he

is the living Word. He is living in us, and he's living in

us. He's the living Word. He is faithful, he is true.

Amen. I'm bringing the words, the very important capture the repeated word that

you keep seeing. The repeater word is faithful. It's a true witness.

Amen. Now coming up the nine next revelation, another verse? Here is

it? What versus this that I get? Right? No? No,

not yet, not yet benediction, hallelujah my slides. Okay, I think

it's Revelations thirteen? Is it? What does he say? Yeah? Okay,

it's not three fourteen, it's thirteen. Yeah, but all or thirteen

okay, Sorry, I wrongly right down there, okay, thirteen uh Jane,

Jane, Jane, Verse ten, I think yes, Verse ten,

thank you, it's thirteen. Verse ten. Sorry, I think I cut

and peace. This means that God's Holy people must end your persecution and remain

and remain faithful. Okay ah, okay. This means okay, okay.

This means that God's Holy people must end your persecution patiently and remain faithful.

God's Holy People must end your persecution patiently, remember were patiently, and remain

faithful. Hallelujah. Another verse is this one? This means the next slide.

I'm sorry, I think I've made a mistake. It was forteen,

and I must have jumped my verses. It is thirteen, and I have

it here. Thirteen ten is one. Thirteen ten is one of the verses.

Okay, all right, So thirteen ten says thirteen ten, just that

I was reading the thirteen ten right here is the patience and the faithful,

but I was reading from the New Living Translation, so that it gives you

a richer thing. This means that God's Holy people must end your person secution

patiently, obeying His commands and maintaining their faith in Jesus. Amen. All

right, um, let me get the verse correct for you. It's this

is what you call your eyes cannot see properly, Revelations fourteen and verse twelve.

Fourteen and verse twelve is actually the second one. Here's the patients of

the saints. Here are those who keep the commandments of God and faith.

Okay, So the second slide just now is Revelations fourteen and verse twelve,

and then the first one was thirteen verse ten. All right, I wanted

to use the NLT because it was simplified. But anyway, the first the

first slide, if you go back to that one, which was the earlier

one. Yeah, so this means that God's that God's holy people must endure

persecution patiently and remain faithful. The next one, another verse is Revelations fourteen

and verse twelve. It says, here is the patience. So this means

that God's Holy people must end your persecution patiently, obeying His commands and maintaining

their faith in Jesus. Okay, We're not living in just a lot lot

of times now, We're living in very end times now. I remember when

I became a Christian at age fifteen sixteen which was a very long time ago

for something you're not born yet. And then they would say Jesus coming back,

and since from that time except time waiting Jesus coming back. But you

know it hasn't come back yet. Not because he's delaying for nothing, but

because he wants everyone to hear the good news, to come to know Christ,

to be safe, to turn from their wicked ways, to receive God,

to walk in Christ. So he's taking a bit longer because he wants

everyone to know Him. And our part remembers to be God's witnesses. Fifth

w in our five w's our first fifth one is called witness, okay,

witness, so meaning in our in our what's happening. As you can see

what's happening in the world. There are wars and rumors of wars and earthquakes.

There's all kinds of natural disasters. They're all being predicted already in the

gospels. So when things are happening, what do you, as a child

of God do? Do you panic and complain? You shouldn't be surprised,

dolly happening? All right, it's gonna happen. But what I would tell

us, you don't have to be you were cool like you cool because God

is for you and you need to stay the course. You need to continue

to prepare well. No need to panic or you're happening. Of course,

I'm so sad whatever is happening. I'm so sad. Are you so much

going on? That's why we are planting, just fast and fast, so

that we can reach as many people as we can and be in a nation,

be a lighthouse. It's gonna happen, but we cannot panic. We

have to pray, continue to pray, continue to walk faithful before the Lord.

That is the word that I want to share with you today because with

these two verses, it says that you have to endure your persecution patiently and

then remain faithful. Why Because Jesus himself is the faithful one. All of

us want to be like Jesus. Amen. So we want to be faithful

like he is faithful. Hallelujah. Amen. How many of you want to

look like your savior? Yeah, faithful, He's faithful. You and I

want to be faithful, and we want to be true witnesses. We want

Jesus's call us to be his witnesses. Ex Chapter one us it okay,

he says, Yeah, He's gonna send us out to be his witnesses.

Amen, and he has endured us with power to be his witnesses. Friends,

we need to remember who we are. We are God's children. We

are precious in his sight, and we're not just saved. And then he

never give us any weapons or he never equip us. He's equipped us with

his living word. If you have God's word, you must meditate, read

it, eat it, regard you and all. Do it regurgitated, don't

spit it out, use it when you need to use it. This is

God's word. So many of us are a bit lazy to read God's word.

I'm just going to say I'm old enough. I'm ready half a century

like and more than I'm going to be sixty. I better say it before

I die, Like, Okay, don't be lazy. I know I look

like eighteen when I have I'm not. So I live this far. I

want to tell you I also have gone through my own faith. Don't forsake

God's word being meaning, don't for sake Jesus, you got the Bible.

You got the Word of God is love letter to you. Read it.

We're so caught up with so many things. The world set standards for us.

Whose standard are you living by? Come on, I have to speak

this to myself, or so whose standard am I living by? Yet?

The Bible tells us in Matthew six thirty three, seeky first the Kingdom of

God and his righteousness, and then all these things shall be added. Unto

you you want all these things, it can be added to you, not

toll up from you, not minus added. But first we must seek the

Kingdom of God, Seek the principles of God. Seek the way of God,

which is written in his word, the Living Word Jesus in us Amen.

I want to encourage you because because Parcissus three words you need to remember.

It will take faith in Jesus. It would take us to be faithful,

and faithful alone is not enough. When the going gets hot, it

takes faith full faithfulness when you pour, faithful when you pour. Because faith

for nurse, it will take nest. It will take faithfulness to follow and

stay the course. You start with faith in Jesus, then be faithful in

what you have, Faithful coming to the House of God, Faithful to serve

the little little things, the big things, whatever, Faithful to stand your

ground faithful, even small thing, never mind faithful. When you can play

three cords, you play a lot of three cords, three cords pas again,

get blunt church. Some of you can play ten cords for you cant

plunt ten Ah, You know you stay faithful. It's so important to remain

faithful to Jesus. He's He's the lover of your soul. Amen, faithful,

but then beyond faithful? How how when persecution comes, when tough times

come, Sometimes your boss give you problem, Sometimes life hits you with the

storm boom. Then are you do dian no lah oh injured? Stay injured?

No? It takes faithfulness. It takes faith when you pour faith forness

to remain in the faith. It's very exciting. There's no other faith and

no other religion that gives you the excitement and the high. You don't need

to take drugs. You want my energy. Take it Jesus Name. You

want to look young like me as when I grow older. Take it your

pastor this I give it to you. You inherit you inherit it you an

extra trait. You want the energy, take it receiving Jesus name. Come

on, you want energy? You think you think it takes that excitement does

not come because I am extrovert. I'm not not. Actually I introvert.

You don't believe me, you laugh. I introvert. But when Jesus comes

in, he turns our lives around and has hope. Every day. Do

I go to hard times? Friends? I have challenges. I have many

difficulties also, whether it be my family, whether it's in ministry, so

many things, so many times. Even as when I was a single adult,

I had my fat fair balls of challenges. Okay, walk full of

challenges. But my hope is in the lot. Remain in the lot.

Amen, fay faithful. You want to give me a time that I need

to end. Okay, faith faithful, faithfulness. Okay. So so where

do I want to take you with this? I want to take you with

this to HEP. Bruce Chapter twelve and verse one and two, which you

are familiar with, and then I'll bring you through the thoughts. Okay.

I want you to take home something today to say to yourself, Hey,

I'm a child of God. What I need to do to stay the cause

and to prepare well? Because we are not here to meet anybody else.

We are here to meet Jesus. Friends. I don't means my words.

We're not. We're preparing for us, not only for ourselves, but to

share a portion with those who have not known. Could be our family members,

could be you know, our friends. Hallelujah. It could be anyone.

But we need to stay the cause and prepare well. He Brewce,

Chapter twelve, Verse one to elevel verse one to two. You know this

verse. It says, therefore we also, since are surrounded by the great

cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every way and the sin that so

easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set

before us. Verse too, looking onto Jesus the answer, sorry, the

author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was said before

him, He endured the cross, despising the shame, and he sat down

at the right hand of the throne of God. Amen. Hebrews tells us

this, Hey, at the end of day, we're running this race.

But you know sometimes, you know why when you watch the Olympics, they

wear very little clothes. Apparently in the times of Greece when they started it,

the men men wear any clothes, So why know women were there?

They were naked, all right, so they got you know, aerodynamics,

yes, so can run faster than After that, they included women. They

had to put on the shot slat. Okay, thank you Jesus. They

don't show us anything, right, all right, so they run right where

we run. They dressed in a certain way to the aerodynamics. Give them

light, lightweight clothes. Now light and lighted away, shorter and shorter the

shorts. Are you all right? No? So they can run. So

we you and I are running this race, and we're running, and we

have to endure all the rindangan rin dangan in life. Rin dangan from your

parents, right, ridanga from the country, rindanga from your office, rendanga

from these days? All failed disappointments. What happened? Whose life don't have

disappointment? Ah? Tell me you first, I put up your hand.

I's to on you now. No, no, no, Who don't have

disappointments in life? You? Yours? I know of little children, now,

little children saying her, I cannot feel I say bo, You're gonna

fail in life. You will not always get one hundred percent one even if

you get a hundred percent with your subjects. In life, when you deal

with people, you are gonna face challenges? How are you, bud?

What is that that strength that is coming before us? The Lord Jesus,

He is the that that lived that he gives to us so that we can

go through our very difficult times, very challenging times. Some of us are

praying for believing, for healing for our family members. And you think,

go are you hearing? I tell you, even when we don't see it,

He's still working. He makes a way. We don't just sing a

song. We gotta believe the words Hamah, don't pandi sing songs are because

it's so nice to sing her but don't mean anything to you. Then check

the song out. Hello and just seeing God is so good. God,

It's so good, God, so good, hallelujah. Come on, people,

What are you and I chasing after? I hope we are chasing Jesus,

running after him and experiencing him. So if we're gonna prepare, well,

stay the course. These are some thoughts for us. The first one

is lay aside every weight. What wait, not your fats? Okay,

all right, I mean running the race, of course, you find out

all muscles right, okay? So God, these fats? Right? So

what these fans can do is stop you from running wella or whatever there is

you know, and you're gonna take it off, take it off, take

take it off, right, So so we take off the sin that so

easily stops us, take off sin? What kind of scene, say,

well, I always say, we see now compromise. The church is in

compromise. We compromise so much in our lives because we want to look more

like the world that we want to look like. As if Christianity is so

boring and people call you holy, you get scared. You don't me holy?

I lowly lo alright, limb, all right, No, you people

call you holy, say praise the Lord. At least it's not a bad

word. What does holy mean? Holy means set apart. When you are

set apart, you belong to the Lord. And everything you choose, you

choose in alignment with God's will, not outside of God's will. Are we

compromising? That's the sin that easily and snares us this, You know,

when we preach God's word, it's not for the adults on it's for children,

it's for teenagers, it's for campus, it's for young adult, it's

for old adults like me, it's for grandma and Grandpa's why because we all

want to finish the race. So, brother and sisters, you come to

church every week you hear the word of God. What are you doing with

the word of God? Number one takes faith? Number two, be faithful

to the Lord. Number three, it will take faithfulness to walk this faith

journey with the Lord, because you will have challenges, temptations or your born

right. No, say fell one girl, come out to you, my

auntie, come out with usable. Come come follow me. You say no,

thank you. You give a more cloth to wear. So it's a

short take out, so low bring her here, right, Yeah, we

cannot compromise. Temptation is gonna come all kinds of temptations in your workplace,

in your ministry, even we have all kinds of things people and people will

disappoint you, people would break your heart. What do you do? Faith?

Faithful, faithfulness? Amen, I mean we we just have to know

the formula to this lay aside every way. The sinwich so easily ensnares us.

That thing that easily ensnares you your how to run cannot run because like

look like hunch, I'm not dumb like that like that you're walking And then

what other thing? Offend? Every time got offended? You didn't call me

auntie, I offended? I offended that more burdens. Okay, you didn't

promote me. Don't let my bosses offended again? Right? You are your

God? They give me the girlfriend? I want you again? Offended offender

with God? Now hat are you the friend? I never choose me,

never choose me enough for to be the best man. Offended again? Now

now we we become more and more carrying baggages or offenses? Are there?

Saw a lot of people, all kinds of people walk like hunt you or

not to them? Cannot see only on the outside on the inside, cannot

walk up straight? You know, boldie, nothing to hide because we are

always allowing something to ensnare us. And I tell you I also go to

it. Sometimes you are economy, you're your economy. Let gola forgifler,

forgive law. It's okay one. If you look at the power and the

richness of heaven, you say, okay, La, you didn't chose me

and my la. I look at heaven. Heaven, Heaven rules, Amen,

don't simply use a church team. And I don't know why Heaven rules.

In Cantonese, we say than yaga, and it was believe or not.

How are you saying mandrey? And how you saying manrey tiendianyo yo yen.

I was saying yet okay, d yeah, okay, yeah, God

ting ting you know you got eyes? One heaven't got eyes ten youngan.

So if ten youngan means what God sees everything that you do, everything that

you've said, people will hide loud. We all hide and do things behind

us. I cannot see. You cannot see God sees what you saw.

You're going to read. I want to tell you he's not a god at

this time to judge you, or to say you're not good or you cannot

love you. No, he is still loving us. He is still reaching

us, he is still wanting us. Nothing's too messy. What is it

that ensnares us from running to the full. We have to run. Moms

and dads got to run because we have a next generation. We all good

jay also have to run so that the next generation has seen something when we

become young adult. Look like you lay, I got antie, like you

like antie? Oh uncle right. It takes letting go of things that were

so easily and snare and it will ensnare you. It will come back again

and again. Compromise is going to be the killer for us. We compromise

all the time. We compromise on our relationships, We compromise in our time

with God. We compromise with all kinds of things. It's okay, It's

okay. The you know in church last time, I used to be the

one like always talking. People must hite me. In Stone Miller, I

used to tell that hey cannot date and non Christian not because the non Christian

is bad, non christ is good. You have a choice. You must

love the persons, give him enough to do, no Christ or her,

stop go habitating, save money, all understand, don't have money? Then

say smaller room, la. Oh, these are compromise. You know the

world is doing it. Why is the church following the world. God always

does things to protect you and to promote you and to have a testimony.

And you know I've been doing this for thirty years. Friends, So you

cannot come and tell me why you're talking. I talking rods and Nola,

I talking Gola gold. Because God loves us so much. He doesn't want

us to lose or to be disappointed or to be hurted and they're so hurted

and broken and you cannot get up again. But we compromise. We compromise

even Sunday. Sunday is church day. Friends, Why are we going diving?

Why are we sending our children for tuition on Sunday? Huh? Because

the best tution teacher, Praise God God, God is the best Tusian teacher.

You better work do tuition on Saturday. You know, our Hindu friends

are before examine. They go to pray. No, our Christian friend,

what sorry, person not coming God exam? You don't need Jesus. No,

I've gotta study first. Oh say be ready? Oh no way,

hey, we all God, Jesus who's living here? Our prayer help us

air? And we say no, lah, I got stay studying all My

new friend going to temple, well, well, well, going to carry

covery, y'all hah. Then God never here, But they still go.

We all because we cannot see God means doesn't mean he can't see you.

We compromise on our Sundays. We compromise in so many areas of our lives.

And then we say why God never answered my pe I'll tell you what

He still answers your prayer and when he doesn't come to the way you want

it. It's as if God's faught you are married the wrong person. God's

fault. You choose one word way falsely man you one word? Buster,

advise you you so bad? Buster always I so bad. Yes, I'm

bad. I just ask you to wait it the while and decide. Lowlila,

compromise. I am spending so much time here. I ask you,

brother and sisters in Christ, I also have compromise, and I have to

repent because I want to stay the course, because I want to be faithful,

and I want to have faithfulness to really stay until I see Jesus.

And I want to have something that I can give to people like the French

lady, to the to the young person, to an older person, it

doesn't matter. I want something that I can share and enrich someone's life with

hope. Amen. Can you think about it? Friends, God is calling

us to be a holy nation, a holy people. Hallelujah. If you

were to read for Speter two ninety says you are a chosen generation, a

holy nation. Wow, You're chosen, war chosen, aw chosen, so

special, chosen. You feel like I wasn't chosen for a scholarship. I'm

telling you, God chose you for his scholarship. That's eternal. He chose

you. Hey, let me tell you that good looking guy didn't choose you.

He's lost. Yeah, the pretty god didn' choose you her loss because

God chose you. God chose you. That's already a big stamp on your

life, marked for life eternity. Woo. You are gorgeous in his side.

But you are so said, because that boy happens only have six packs

now because he's only twenty years old. Wait it comes to thirty years old,

way away, one back. I know because my husband lost all the

six bags before coming after coming, so happy, I cook so well,

you eat everything boom. Ah. Don't blame the wife, you see you

make me fair wud. Friends, if that person didn't choose you, just

let it go. No need to cry your eyeballs out. Put back the

eyeballs and see clear clear, got other fish in the sea. Ah man,

hallelujah. Ah. Don't let go of everywhere, any kind of weight

la even your past. Sometimes the devil will bring back the past and say,

remember, I know what you did last summer. I know. Then

you say what you shouldn't be afraid to say. So what I repented,

and God has thrown myself seen in the depth of the sea. He has

forgotten you. Shut your face, speak to the hand. If you let

the never keep reminding of your past, then you will always feel God don't

love you. But that's not true. God says, I have forgiven you.

Step up, my son, step up, my child, and you

have a future. Oh but tomorrow. But if you keep listening to your

pasta you're your past. Play like broken radiolar. You you feel, you

feel, you feel, you hear anything anything, huh, but it better

or no? Ganalah? So lay aside. Come on, guys, take

off that quote of heaviness, that whole court of condemnation, that quote that

lies to you, that quote that says you're not good enough, you can

never make it. Oh, come on, take it off that compromise.

If you're compromising, stop bid lah, please stop com promising. Choose God's

way. It is eternal life. It's a very narrow way, but it

leads to eternal life. Very narrow way. I cannot go through least eternal

life. You take the wide way up. La la la la la la

la la la deno inside there. Hello, yeah, don't take the narrow

way safe? Got boundaries? Why are boundaries there? To help us lave

so that the game we play in life will work. You want to play

rugby, you want to play football with no boundaries, no rules. Who

will win? Nobody win? People get injured. That's what happens to our

lives. We don't want boundaries, we don't want rules, and you get

hurt, you get broken, you get disappointed. But when you play within

the boundaries of God's love and God's guidance, you play to win. Men,

lay aside every weight, every compromise. Come on, brothers and sisters.

You know why because at the end of the day, if Jesus is

a faithful and true witness, when you get to heaven, when you see

Jesus, what's the first word you want to hear him say? Hallelujah?

You got the answer one hundred points for you. Okay. You want to

hear good and faithful, good and handsome, good and clever, good and

genius. Sorry, no is good and faithful. Friends, remain faithful because

Jesus is faithful. He is faithful to you and to me. This is

your bloom. What's your theme? Bloom. What's your theme? God is

faithful, Come on, Come on, heaven rules. God is faithful.

Therefore, as you lay a side, run with and your ends and your

rest means and yours patiently, patience, You must have patience. Haven't come

yet? Be patient? Not there yet? Be patient? Are we there

yet? No? Are we there yet? Are we there yet? No?

Just wait, okay, wait and you will get there. You will

get there. See you when you get there, all right. Don't be

impatient, don't panic. Run with endurance. The race that he said before

us, and Jesus has already won that race for us. But we have

to go through a little bit of some challenges, some persecution, somethings that

just tastes bad to You're not nice to eat. He might go to it

because there is the finishing line. Finish it. But run with endurance.

What are you going through right now at your workplace, in your relationship,

in your family, in your studies. Don't give up. Run with endurance.

You feel like you're late, cannot run anymore. Run crawls, okay,

crawlers, okay, just party crawler, crawl, crawl, and then

you will get up again and you will run again. You know that.

Friends. I've been down and I felt like a sample. My sht cut

many many years ago because I couldn't clear my papers, and I feel so

bad. I thought this sometime my shad. No, God said stand up,

but I'm crawling. Leave me alone. No stand up, o killer,

and you will. You will walk again, You will run again,

no matter how down you get to. I've been there where there his studies,

down and out, where his relationship down and out. You will get

up again? Why? Because God is for you? Who can be against

you? He is saying, lay aside that wait and run with endurance.

Just be patient a little bit. You're not talking about and this I'm not

talking about somebody abusing you and you stand there. Let him abuse you,

Nola, you run man, get out, take it off, yo,

bran. But this is sometimes you. You're in a means of difficulty.

Change. It would be your country. Don't run away from your country.

Migration is not the answer. Okay, yeah, yeah, I don't like

this. Gon dive under the sea. You so it's not answer. The

answer is in facing Christ and looking unto Jesus. My last point, looking

unto Jesus, the author and finish of our faith. Focus on Jesus.

Just keep focusing on your eyes on Jesus on the cross. It's done,

It's done. Jesus did it. He did it for me. I'm going

to run and focus on the cross that I will not waiver left or right,

left, all right, I will not waiver. Come on, friends,

it really needs our eyes on the Lord. You know, some people

are persecuted for their faith in Jesus. They don't even get to live out

their face on them straight away. You know, the people in Pakistan or

Iran, if they tell their parents they are Christian, well, stay away,

father word is on him. Or even worse, still put poison to

kill them. And sometimes they put poison and then they don't die. They

say, how come you never die? I put poison for you? Then

don't know why? You know, Jesus, Jesus. People go to persecutions,

people go to a lot of difficulties. But we have to focus our

eyes on Jesus. Fix it the cross. As you faithfully follow Christ faithfully,

you're going to go to a lot of different difficulties, a lot from

our young age to our middle age to our older age. Is life is

such we will have, But the comfort is that God is with us.

He is the true witness, he's the faithful one. He's the Word of

God. He alone is our amen. And unless he's the amen, you

know, then I don't know where we will be. La. He's the

amen means he's the amen, full stop. God is so faithful and good.

I'm here still, people, I'm here. We run the church for

twenty over years. I don't know how long more. But I'll do what

I can and say, God, just amen to whatever you're calling me to.

Life is difficult, Sure, ministry is difficult. Sure you think easy?

Ganna here Ghanadare you love people? People? So call you what you

do? Give up? My can I answer calling to the Lord? I

didn't answer calling to the men. I didn't say yes to Raphael to be

a pass I say yes to the Lord to be to be a certain of

the Lord. So God, difficulty, God, do we give up?

No? We just grateful that we can serve God, grateful that we can

experience different things in our lives. Amen, hallelujah. Oh, come on,

people, you need to say an amen. Your stay thing God's promises

to you. Amen, hallelujah. Really, I want to encourage us firstly,

lay aside anything anything you can think of. When you are aware,

we pray. Is there anything that is hindering you from really following God all

the way? To serve God all the way? God? Is there anything?

Is there a compromise in your life? Lift it up to Jesus,

Lift it up and say, Lord, I don't have my strength. I

say, we sang, just now your your My weakness is your strength.

Yeah. My mountains are your valleys. God makes a way for us.

What is it that can hinder you? What is that thing that is tempting

you? What is it that you're struggling to give up? Because you say

you if I give this side God, I don't know. You know.

God is saying, come, I have a better for you. I have

a better opportunity for you. Don't don't think that this is all here.

If he's speaking to your heart, if you hear the message to choose,

choose because God chose you. Amen, God chose you. And when you're

going through this run with endurance, run bas run row, run run e

lane within your runs. I know it's tough, but don't turn back and

long, don't don't turn back and look behind her, look forward, after

becoming love salt armies. You know it. Don't turn me. I don't

turn that. I like. I like yesterday, yesterday, goodbye, today

and tomorrow is there our future? Yesterday, yesterday, yesterday? And enjoy

all the guylus. Okay, now we go forward, Amen, run endurance

so hard, so tough, But never mind, Lord you are if you

are with me, who can be against me? What have we? What

is it that you you feel like stopping you? What is come on?

Overcome that by the grace of God, By the grace of God. I

don't I you know you you on your own strength cannot love, cannot love

very hard. Right, So we endure with faith and we just say,

Lord, I will do my best. You will fill me with strength.

Faith. Start with faith, faithful faithfulness. Anyone here wants to please the

Lord. Who wants to please the Lord? I'm sure you all want to

please the Lord? How to please the Lord? Faith? Faith, It's

a step of faith. Come to God by faith. Believe that he is,

and he's a rewarder of those who trust him. Believe him and seek

him. Right, That's he Brews eleven, verse six. A yo like

that, a reward you you seek him diligently, come to him by faith,

not by works, not by any medals. Just come by fair.

I believe you Lord, and He will take us. I guarantee you.

Just like this French lady. What did she do? Nothing? Did she

earn her salvation? Nothing? Did she know God? She told me even

I'm so sorry I was so sarcastic to the Christian faith. Will God accept

me? I said, yes, he will. He will forgive you if

you ask him. And Jesus came into her life. I know it was

very last moments of her life. But still God came. We all not

dying yet right, got time to live? Right? Better forgive now love

better? Better forgive? Amen, better to have freedom? No one only

say a rod and achieve all that God has for us, Amen, and

not look back. So looking unto Jesus, not look back, but looking

unto Jesus. The focus is on Jesus. What are you focusing on?

Focus on the law. What is the Lord saying to you? You know,

we don't really need a lot of like some people say. Anyone of

you say, ah, your God never speak to me, please la.

He spoke to you when the Bible and Aesula, you don't have the printed

Bible because the handful one now no no battery, late ah. The love

letter must be the light letter that come in a printed from right. Remember

does this write? Oh you don't have those? This? I got those?

This? No, my boyfriend, I write letter to me cannet Chin.

So many letters in a mission field in Albania. You know, every

day here right now I write once in one two weeks. You want to

hear God's words you, his love letter to you, how much he has

the plans for you. Focus on Jesus. Focus. If you know I'm

married, and you think good for you, Lah, you marry you think

my husband fulfills everything in my life. I want to tell you, no,

Jesus does. He's a great companion. But I cannot also please him.

I have to please God first. So if you're singer, you're thinking

when I marry, everything will be okay, Nola Nolah means you're gonna have

a journey of two very different people trying to work together. Then if you're

ready to die to yourself, then get married. You're not marry. You're

not ready to die to yourself and give up your rights. Please don't marry

because you'll be fighting every day, matching your match magic pula boxing match.

Huh, because are you so very strong? My husband's so very strong,

But I think I I but he's the first tie always says sorry. I

never they say sorry. Okay, I have to focus on Jesus, right.

No, I cannot wait for my husband to make me a better woman.

I need Jesus to make me the best woman. Come on, you

cannot expect our wife to make you the best man. But I tell you,

when we are in the right half, yes can be better. But

let's look first to the Lord. Amen, let's look to him. Focus

our eyes on Jesus. I encourage us because the days are not going to

get easier. My brothers and sisters, my friends, She's not easier.

More and more challenges. I so dietter. Really sometimes I got so many

different challenges. People are usually people love so not unless one more on.

So how look up to Jesus. Law, serve the Lord. Law,

do what I'm told to do. Law do law do happy happy do happy

happy do serve law, friends, serve the Lord. The best thing to

do is serve the lot. Don't serve anything. Don't serve yourself don't serve

the lot first Lord will lead you. Don't be scared to work hard,

hard work, whether it be church, better be your office, better be

your ministry, anything. Don't be scared to work hard, hard work,

but smart work. Let God lead you. You will do the right thing.

Amen. Praise God for his grace on your life. Amen. And

you know what you already win. That's the thing you already win. Jesus

says, I give you everlasting life. Freedom is yours, victory is yours.
