Do Not Be Deceived - You Reap So As You Sow | Elder Wong Kien Yiak

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

will light up your team. Glais chapter six. So glacis chapter six or

seven, say do not be be sled H and KGB will just do not

be deceived. Do you know how sometimes we can deceive ourselves. Many times

we deceive ourselves by just because we are not well and we google up the

symptoms. We think that we can diagnose the issue. You know how many

times where we are not well, we are not well in our body,

we google up we have had it. We google up of chests, we

google the things. People. There's a reason why people study six years or

minimum six or seven years in a medica few to get the doc. If

it's so simple as googling everything the article for seven seconds first second tell you

all the clicks can close down already. But the question therefore is is that

we believe what we read. And sometimes we have this perception that just because

we interpret it this way right and we apply all I have a hate,

it must be that you know I, I it's something wrong. They get

enough sleep and we try to work. Is that no self diagnosed probably with

self diagnosed. Is this is that sometimes we diagnose strongly and we think that

we got it correct, but it's actually wrong. And that's what happens,

is that the Bible said, do not be deceived. The exception is the

place whereby you believe something when it's wrong. You believe something where is not

true. So the Bible hears this, do not be be sled. You

shall not mock the justice of God. And could you said, do not

be deceived? God is not mocked, and they have the day. Friends,

it is not about how much you know, as as opposed to how

much you do with what you know. A lot of us sometimes we think

that we know a lot about God's word, but never have the faith to

exercise God's word. And that's why sometimes we can be in the place whereby

no way triumph over faith living no way triumph over faith living. And the

Bible says that do not be be sled. You shall not mock the justice

of God. You will always harvest. Someone say harvest, friends, all

of us say it will hawers one way or the other. You will definitely

hawerse one. There is no such thing that say, elder, I will

never harves. You will haw us if you have a part of soy in

your house. You will definitely find two things will happen. Number one,

if you don't care for it, reads you go on somehow somewhere Poland will

land on the dirt in the part, and you will find weeds. None

of us sal plant will plant weeds in the potland. Friends, I'm talking

about the other count of weeds, just in case the actually no I was

doing. Um, I planted one homes one time in book. This was

year two thousand and six or two thousand seven, So planted one homes there,

right, and you know, and after a while, I just thought

I smelled something really funky, really funky, right, and uh, and

I noticed that my homies was getting a bit more happy. So I asked,

what smell is there? Said, my neighbors smoking weed. That's why

you These are the remnants of the smell that comes over to my homes,

our homes. I said, wonder that you also look smells happier. But

friends, none of us here sought out to the word is to sow weeds

into our garden, right, but somewhow, whether it will grow by itself,

and matter what you do, by the reason to continue to grow.

So the Bible here says that you will always halve us friends. Sometimes we

think that, oh, never haw us. The Bible here's always friends,

you would always halve us what you plan. Think about that for a moment.

What you plan, you will eat. Many times to the old Christian

faith is that we want to eat, but never want to plan. We

want to enjoy, but never want to sacrifice. We want the companionship of

a girlfriend a boyfriend, but do want to be the price. When something

happened to you or you need want to do something, is I thought,

I think that, Oh that's why my good friend sorry, sorry sorry,

it's like the weird nick City. It was like a revelation to him,

like, oh that's what happened here. The Bible here says that you will

always haws up you plan friends. Church. This point is a good reminder

for Earth is that we have to take not of two things. Number one

is that what have you been planting for the past one week, one month,

of la past few years. Where you are today is what you planted

yesterday. Where you are to date was what the what was sold yesterday or

many months before. If you want to have an amazing relationship, you have

to start sewing the right stuff. And many times people don't realize we are

just praying and hoping things. You change things. We only changed when you

start sewing right. That's why the Bible said do not be sled. Sometimes

Christians, have you said, I'll just pray my problems away. Well,

technically you can ask God to pray and ask God for the problems to go

away. However, God give you wisdom to go treat. Do you notice

that disciples, where it went through the stomb, God did not take away

the storm. God brought them through the stormb And many times in our Christian

life were full to understand the purpose of the storms in our life. Referre

to realize why we are going through certain things because God wants to develop us.

It goes on to say, for those who live to sayisfy their own

was it? Those who live only to satisfy their own sinful nature will harwards

decay and death. Those who lived all need to satisfy their unsinful nature.

Friends, there is one part of us constantly self seeking. Constantly self seeking.

Now in our church, we truly believe you want to encourage people to

be leaders. Don't know, don't you all desire to be leaders, to

serve the House of God, relate to selve people. The two types away

one. As a leader you're serving others. You're serving others because leadership is

about serving right not so. The greatest of the greatest leader we know in

the Bible is Jesus. He came to serve and not to be served.

Right. So if you're not wanting to be a leader, then you're wanting

to be served. So decide no, I know I will not be in

my next year, us for the next But the top process is that as

a parent, you are constantly giving out right because you're because the person you

give up your n once the child become an adult, become a parent,

they are always giving up. Could you imagine a parent who doesn't give up

that though? Imagine a relationship. You wanted a relationship, You've got a

relationship. Never the word is make sacrifices for the relationship, make time for

the relationship right, always the other parties wrong. When you're always right,

what happens. It will go up. The relationship will go to a place

of of being tested and being challenged. So many times in our life,

if you're not careful, we live all day to sense our own sinful nature

and desire. What do I mean by that? Some say, but I'm

not sinful world. I don't kill people. I don't you know, I'm

just all right. The word is all right, border light, all right,

okay, I don't smart, I don't drink. Okay, I don't

do all this other stuff that's category is bad. The Bible doesn't say bad

or good. The Bible is used the word sinful nature. And many times

if you're not careful our nature, which it really is sinful. Not when

when I say sinful nature is when your mind is not renewed by the word

of God, when your mind is constant choosing our own way, when our

mind is constisting that I'm first, and sometimes that leaders in the path whereby

we will read what we soul. So you hurt yesterday right from Mother Vella,

he used the word all that's glitter is not going. All that's glitter

is not going. He went on to say that if you have noticed after

career, there's a major rush in the world phenomena people. It's great after

the last of the flesh, which is wealth, they would say, any

generation before there's a huge rush of people wanting to get rich really quickly,

and many people got burned very quickly as well. He was cautioning the attendance

of the conference people yesterday said, just be careful that you don't be tempted

by the last of the flesh, because this desire to get rich quickly is

there. Sometimes it's not from the Lord, and when it's not from the

Lord, you're also going to lose it very quickly. He shared about his

personal experienced many times. Brother Wesley did not share this in the first day

of Friday night, even we had dinner with him, he shared his you

know past people, but you know, in my first few dealings of the

business, I lost five hundred thousand. People cheated me and I look at

him. You know when when when people cheated you of ten ringada, you

can't a bit angryer. Maybe put on Facebook right fifty ring, but five

hundred thousand. You know, do you know how many times can go hide

it out? We didn't do you know? Sorry? I just do you

know how many pairs of shoe or how many unique giftcuts you can buy?

I mean, yeah, I have to put in this context because if I

talk about houses and cars, are you maybe stuff. You're not interested.

But if I talk about then you stuff that unique or you yellah, you

know, I can buy a food suitor. Okay, I understand. Okay,

I got a wife. I understand, all right. So five thousand

he lost, and I looked at him. That was a smile on his

face. That's a smile on his face only because it's confidence. His confidence

is in the Lord. When you lose that kind of amount of money,

you can be better one. Friends, right now, come on, if

you understand we can be better one. You can be angry or so right,

like I wear a cross, one like you wear a cross? Is

the same church? Oh, if we can go down this path. But

we have a choice. So the choice is that do we always saw in

the flesh you won't get even, You're gonna you won't get even, or

do we therefore is a Lord. I tried my rabbits to get it in

the money, I can't. I've been cheated. Lord that you are my

protector, you are my father. I surrendered this issue before you you take

care of it. I got to move on. So the Bible here says

that you will always has what you planted. Those who live the size side

of the flesh. So in that situation, if the flesh always can't try

to tell you that get even the guy you get even pulls up every photo

you can find of him, get even kill his reputation. So here's what

the Bible says, that even according to be led by our sinful nature,

that's what we do. But that's not how God wants us to live our

life. Could she imagine constantly living your life to see the downfall of the

other person, constantly living our life to see the other person fall and back

from mercy, friends, that's not the way God wants us to leave.

The Bible says, God is a vengeance. God is a protector. He's

our strong tower. He's a refuge and deaf are friends who take care of

us. Our Lord, our father, and the hurt and the pain that

we want you to be surrendered the Lord because when we cry out our father,

no father would neglect the child. That's that's her thing. We have

to understand. Nothing can separate us from the love of God. So if

your conduce to sol in the sainful nature, we will reap. The Bible

say, it's a sure promise. We will harwards decay and death. But

how I got my rent red. I'm still alive. I caught my wrench

of radio. See, I feel so satisfied. What decay, what death?

The Bible says, I'm see okay, I go. No sickness,

no illness, but friends they can. Death comes also in the form of

your future that's in front of you. Many times in our lives we are

very short sighted. Seriously, only after you pass a certain issue look back.

You realize God dost move in a space of time. When you are

younger, we prayed for staff. Sometimes I pray get answered immediately. Sometimes

it doesn't. But when you go to a spend of a lifetime, right

like twenty years with the Lord, thirty years with a lord, you'll understand

the Lord does have a time to bring us shoe to develop a character.

He doesn't just bring us to a place for us to enjoy the food they

kick us out. He doesn't. He wants to pring the place for earth

to enjoy it and for you to enjoy. We need to have the right

heart and the rights attitude. But many times you want it immediately. We

want it now. Every child that's crying, and every parent that attends to

a child that's cried. Immediately you know that you're you're setting up yourself for

trouble. Could you imagine every parent running to every child just a single cry.

Parents come running, cannot after a while, the parents a thick cry,

real cry. Maybe it was my mama. Quite one more time I

slept. You turn your hatoun of sixty and you see be alive. After

a world, friend, what happens the child develops? Not one thing is

own way of understanding that there's something called waiting. So what are you weeping

right now? Death and decay. I'll correct this up when if we are

going to be consciously led but offenses, he will eat you up inside fend

where it was the last offended. Don't say yesterday. Please remember last time

you got offended. Offended, come out all of this ago, your Christian,

you understand right over you got offended. One especially in right offense comes

in forver happens. He eats you about the very sight of the person.

Come on, come on, what happens? You get a bit angry?

Right? Not? Hey? Come on speak to me one. If not

like that, I put a postle. I will come back here next a

couple of months Okay, No, seriously, come on, remember you when

you're offended, right, the very set of the person said that cause you

to be unrested here right, the word is that somebody you won't get even

the words that somebody you want, like if only you knew what you put

me through? Right, Not, that's why words someone said, I'm so

sorry, step when you're told I'm so sorry I offended you, Please forgive

me. You can say I forgive you, but you just want the person

to crawl through glass to feel what you went through. Those sleepless nights that

you were crying at your pillow. There, those nights that you lost sleep,

the worry you went through. Right, not, but many times,

if you can be let by sinful nature, we will reap. You'll miss

out on the opportunity. And that's why the Bible hears it was reminding us.

But those who live to please the spirit, Come on, those who

live to please the spirit, real howards everlasting life from the spirit. So

if we have that, we have two tries to see your friends. Number

one is death and decay rotten, get things get rotten. If we don't

address something, it will start to rot up. On how many have kept

fruits in your fridge. You see it's apple beginning of nigh shining apple.

Right, but because not enough timer, everybody open this while we say I'll

eat you tomorrow. Yere you opened again? No time I have to.

I don't feel like eating apple. Wippers. Your apple slowly changing shape?

Right, not right? Not right? The whipper after cha it becomes a

bit softer. And you know you know what we keep that yourself. I

see at chrieck out of the apper right still, okay, eat ma one

parts of this cut off the soft per. I set a check out of

the apple. So this is what we do with our live deca happers.

It comes in could be very slowly. We think that, so okay,

I can do really tomorrow, but not knowing. If you don't deal with

it immediately, it will start to eat up the whole fruit. So the

Bible scripture here says that if you're so in the spirit, those who believed

to please the spirit will have a harvest everlasting life phasico two choices either were

so in the flesh or so in the spirit. Worse nine, this is

my start my message. I told the PC, Oh you can do.

Finish the message by eleven, So I say that you do that stree combinement

two here about ten to fifteen minutes and they start the service at eleven,

so I remember what I got there? Right? There was TiO about the

emperiston wish it only so much time, So I have a lot of time.

You're all right, please, so I will try to take up the

eleven twenty. Let kidding, all right? So what's night? What's night?

Come out? So let's not get tired of doing what is good?

How I'm repeat after me, So let's not get tired of doing what's good.

Many times when you read the scripture right, really scripture, say yeah,

I'm doing all right. Okay, let me try to pack it down

for you. Let's look at the definition good. If I were asked to

a quick surbway right now, all of us here, what a different interpretation

understanding what's good? Because my good it could be different from your good,

just like what is good food to me may not be good to you.

And that's why the hardest decision to make is after church read to eat,

whoever gets recommends the food bears the burden and the weight. This was to

recommend food that don't trust. Next time you. He just can't commend every

do you recommends one? He will so good definition not very different on because

I'm good ma. For me, good's just coming to church, right For

example, the depercode of good is coming to church and prayer service. For

me, good is just giving tithe ten percent. For me, good is

over and above ten percent whatever the Lord wants on the hearts. So friends,

different definition of good. So therefore what is good? Friends? We

know? The Bible says in a do new test. But the rich young

ruler us God. Only God is good. So therefore God has to be

outstanded. So therefore the Bible here says, do not stop to not get

tired for doing, for following God. Do not get tired of pursuing God

many times. Now journey after a while we can become time. The Bible

here acknowledges it, don't go weary, don't go tired, don't grow exhausted.

It will become our friends. Isn't it true? Everything we do we

get as tired. You go to work, also we get tired. You

served a lot after Sunday, come out on Sunday afternoon is the best time

to sleep. Seriously, I can guarantee. That's why if you do a

two thirty service right here, I can guarantee you struggle with sleep one for

sure. On we have a meditation service, all right. But Biby here

says, do not go tired. We can come to a place whereby we

are can be physically tired. We can be. But the Bible here reminds

us again, so let's not get tired of doing what is good because our

focus has to be God. Our focus is not just a good part.

Maybe we shouldn't say not the activity, because if we are constantly focused on

the activity, we will go tied. If you calling focus or you are

got to study ten chapters, thy ten chapters, you should go tight.

One. But if our focus I can follow the person called Jesus, and

you know God is good. We will never get tired physically if we can

get tired, but spiritually become alife again. So we have two choice again,

live in the flesh or live in the spirit. Number one. The

second part of the understanding is going to be this, all right, either

we go tired doing what we want or doing going tired doing what God wants.

My suggestion is this, let's go for the long haul. When I

was talking to different people, Brother Rella, I think it's closer to the

seventy, close to the seventy, and Brother Leslie, I think sixty something

I was talking to. I think Moses Shelley was talking to you or your

mom. Moses Mom is eighty one amazing? If you should if you have

not to talk to Moses Mum, we should talk to her, seriously,

God save an age of fifteen, is that correct? Somewhere sat the seven

dollar age of twenty something all the way until eighty one. Desire to push

the gospel. Think about it your vocation. One day you'll be retired.

Really, so our life has to be bigger than just what we do for

Monday to Friday, because once it's sticking away from you or that's where some

retiree can come up like you, I got nothing left if we leave just

for our chewing after the chew grew up on just like as we grew up

the first day. Why you grew up? Where you want to want to

do? You want to move up the house man, You want to own

space. I want an expression our own freedom, right only discount. There's

something called laundry. You for good, then your mom or your parents has

been no one doing laundry for all these years. Some ready miraculously you opened

up my closest. There now your closest on the floor. There you do

only wash what you want to wear. This followed me, So just for

me now and this alright. So our life has to be bigger than the

vocation we do from Monday to Friday, because that has a time frame.

But God doesn't have a time frame. He's the Alpha and omega, the

beginning and the end. So our identity comes from falling God. No,

just come from our vocation at our workplace. So never'll stop. The Bible

says doing what's good, Following God is good, Pursuing God is good.

It says the worst night as well. At the just at the right time,

someone say right time, we will reap a hows of blessing. You

will reap our hours of blessing many times our journey. We want to rip

now, we want I saw today, I want to rip the next one

hour. We are white like their friends. That's why if you're a Malaysian,

you know your textbook SPM textbook thirty Days Guarantee seven. As you've got

to textic gray I remember, I will see there to blow hurried to do

a right all those textbook you see being sold there right to guarantee you maximum

maximum result, minimum effort, maximum result, minimum effort, maximum result,

minimum sewing. The Bible here says that you can be rest assured in the

right time. Let's talk about time for a moment. There's no such thing

as wrong timing in the Lord. There is no such it as wrong timing

in the Lord. Some of us are praying for something and hasn't come to

pass. Trust God, trust the Lord. Start sewing correctly. I'm overs

one wanting a break choo sites last year, but it hasn't come to pass.

Trust God how he's going to lead you, because what you want may

not be exactly how God desire for us to leave our life, because sometimes

you are not ready for the responsibility that's coming in front of us. We

love the benefits. Come on over, say love the benefits. We love

the benefits, and come on, we love it. That's what I love

blessing. But the price to the blessing is something which sometimes we struggle with.

So here I'm going to encourage you worse nine. So let's not get

tired of doing what's good friends? Yet what's good for in the right time,

we will reap if we don't give up right time blessing if we don't

give up. Turned with me right now to Romance chapter I think four,

Romance chapter four. Roman chapter four was eighteen, was eighteen. Roman chapter

four was eighteen, who fantastic? All right? Even when there is no

reason for hope? Have you been been there before? Even when there's no

reason to hope, Abraham kept hoping. Very important entity to have we read

earlier on. In the right time, you shall reap a blessing if you

don't give up. So Roman chapter four was say, even there is no

reason, everything is against you. Everything is against you, know God giving.

God gives you a promise. Sometimes you wish you can see it come

to pass immediately, because there's no greater testimony. You're young, you have

everything immediately. That's why all the YouTube videws you see about all the different

of all or the different the word is U causes available. One. There's

advertisement. It's always a certain age. One. You never see one that's

eighty years old. One very seldom always admit the ties or early forties.

Here's this the Abraham help on the God's promise. Do you know what was

God's promise to Abraham, I'll give you a child. He was after the

age, after the age of the ability to have a child. Some of

us here in the same situation as well as well. I thought I missed

my opportunity. I thought this window was open for me. I thought I

missed it. I couldn't have it physically, I couldn't do it anymore.

Fred's we do not just operate and leave in the physical realm. So here

it is Abraham saying that. Here's Paul saying that even when there's no reason

to hope, people around you t don't hope anymore. Am kept hoping help

on to God's promise so many times to our journey friends, know what happens.

We have disamatitude that Abraham, we even though that things are around us,

we just kept hoping. But our hope it's not led you on to

God's word or God's promise. I'll hope it just led you on to ten

air se Tenemis. There is no backing scripture, backing within. And that's

why sometimes we get disappointed, you know why, because we just imagine that

we're just hoping that God will will bless us. But we have to understand

why God wants to bless us. That's why it scripture is so important.

But when the Bible hears it, Abra kept hoping. He led you to

God's promise to God. God spoke to Abraham that you will have a child.

Many times our own journey are friends. We just kept hoping. I

just kept hoping God will bless me. That may not be good enough.

I just can't hope the things would be better. Abraham kept hoping, believing

that he will become the father of many nations. Why do he believe this

title? Because God said to Abraham, what has God been speaking to you?

Come on, sectu us. You will only hear what God speaks to

you when you spend time with him. Friends, opening up the Bible at

one day scripture fantastic. I kudos, tab At least you do one thing

that is not enough. Come on, come on, that is not enough.

Sometimes you give more attention to all the girls out there than the word

of God. And that's why it's important for us. When Abraham kept hoping,

he hoped because God spoke to him that you will become the father of

many nations. What about us, Do we have a moment with the Lord?

Not? Oh he should. We're just going by the flow, and

there's not enough. Friends. It goes on to say it for God,

say to him that that how many a descendants you have Verse nineteen. Abraham's

faith did not weaken. No matter what we do in life, friends,

the things they come against us. The Bible says that in this world you

have trials and tribulations, you would have. It's a really propheside in the

world of God that you would have. I asked a young okay that one

day, I say, how can you what's your strategy of overcoming inflation?

All was your concern about rising costs? I say, so I have to

have because I've been out of the couple so long where they saw one five

frig out from this young woking doubts, So what is your strategy? Say?

Hold, I tried many times. I invested in everything like that,

and I did my calculation. Yeah, I didn't make a bid, but

every wish is not much of this is ya. I come to this conclusion,

conclusion wherever the Lord wants me to sow our soul, no two ways

about it. I have come to this conclusion, no matter why I do

right, I made some here the next day I lost. See this is

mats, quite good mats. These mets at the end of the day killer

equite extra, but not the extra he was hoping for. My conclusion is

that if the lords me is so far and usually giving, I was so

because I know I'll read back and he test to me was where he sold

the particular amount, which is quite big for him. He got back the

same amount. But dabble. Now now I'm asking. This is not a

clusion to give, but this is a way of the Lord. By faith.

You have to hear from the Lord. Please. Is not just simply

give or I just give because I want to higher rate of return. No,

you have to hear from God. You. God has to put an

amount on your heart, confirmed by prayer, because it has to be a

type of faith. So the bye way is this. It wasn't I The

abraham faith did not weaken wild. But us, friends, have our faith

be overwhelmed by the situation, the impossibility. Have our faith been dormant or

have we been exercising our faith? Abraham faith that we could even thought about

hundred years He figured his body as good as did it is true. If

he's not true, friends, our grandfather will have churn. Could you imagine

right now, hungry years old, the ability of a child. It's literally

impossible. But when God spoke to Abraham, that God of the impossible,

you and I need to come to this place of understanding. What's twenty Abraham

never waited in believing God promise again, it's reminded for us. So this

generation we are living in right now, Please don't I was talking to someone

yesterday. I say, please, do not wait until where the situation becomes

so overwhelming, then you start developing your faith. Please don't wait until the

situation becomes a thorough or then you need to develop your faith. It's almost

like exempted more. We started today. Why lah, friends, exam,

you know, exam it's coming really study lab But no, no, it's

okay. God's with me. I'm more than conquerorce, so therefore I can

start to more scripts it. You can only overcome by the grace of God

and by the mercy of God. But sometimes God brings us through the fire.

Oh that we live Chapter four, The four Friends in the fire.

We love it because you know why God delivered that the fourth the troopers in

the fire right right, but none of us he liked to be in the

fire in the first place. We sing about the soul very easy to see,

very easy to see. Friends, how many of you like to be

in the fire. Never, we're like because you know what fire burns,

the heat. I'm sure they felt the heat, but not burned. You

know why Scriptures says that we are pressed on all sides, but now we're

crush You will feel pressure all around you, but not crush. But we

love it Scriptures, we are not crushed at all. That makes people try

to press you never cannot you know what I mean. I need to give

you a lustration and the extraist and the love is lustration. If you're like

me, right, A lot, a lot of all padded facts around right,

you try to press but no, you know what I mean? He

goes in and come out like that. You're the word is that we want

not to be crushed, but preferably not being pressed on all Sidler. We

want to be delivered perfectly of being persecuted, because we would be like we

love the problems of Abraham. Right, he held on to faith and he

believed. But when he declared it to his wife that you and me are

going to have a child. He got the wife laugh. How about earth

without faith? We say, don't go weary and tired of doing what's good.

You and I need to focus on God. Pursue God. James chapter

falsey drawn near to God, Him drawn it to you. Many have.

The desire is not dead to drawing you to God. We dropped a portion

of God only Friends, so Roman chapter Fourse says that Abraham did not weaken

in his faith. Some of us are send in this room. Our faith

is so dominant and God wants to revive our faith again. That's why Friends

says no good entity in the whole whole white world and the church, because

when God came and established the church, he gave people opportunity to serve.

Do you know that for you to pray for someone takes requests a lot of

faith. You do not go up to the random person just because you see

a person writer across in the office, that can you pray for me?

Now it's in the church setting, and that's why it's so important for us

exercise faith when we come together. Friends, the next time you sing a

song, that God will bring us through the fire. Please don't sing a

song because it sounded nice, because it's a deeper conviction within us. God,

I know that in my life that you'll bring us true because the day

will come fair by you will need our faith. Only our faith can over

come mountains. Faith as small as the mustard. See the Bible says can

move mountains. But many times the whole life we think that our faith you

have to be oh faivor that past can know the Bible say, faith as

small as a mountains master seat. So therefore it was tring abram no waiver

in believing in God's promise. Second reminder again, don't stop doing what's good.

If you hold on to the promise, we shouldn't waiver no matter how

hard it. But how do you don't understand? It's only me? It's

only me. I've been doing it for the longest, longest time. When

will my helper come? When will the assister home? Did the appear?

When will the l one be birth? Lord? You don't the terminology.

Basically the leaders at homes right, I'm the only one teaching worship, leading

announcement, take out, offering, buying the food. Lord, you see

my tears not the tears of joy tears. I want to close the homes

down, but first you need to go to a season. So what's twenty

to say Abram Weaver. In fact, his faith grew stronger. Hey,

this, his faith grew stronger in the midst of the challenge. And many

times when you read through the scripture. But this Abrahema, after all,

those have easier, those have it's easier to follow God then, compared to

this time you're living in right now. You may think it is like that.

But telling people that God will give you a child and hunger places,

Oh if you don't, if God doesn't come true, you'll be laughed at.

It's almost like this, all right, you're My faith is ten extra

USTs. One day I prophesied that you shall be my good friend. You

know you Hi? Hi? How you like who that they will come for?

She's like, oh, none of the girls' reacted. You're like,

right, could you imagine if the prophecies don't come to pass? Because the

next time we say that God spoke to me, people say there's a liar.

The next thing that God speaks to him, people say that I don't

trust you. Abram was so sure and God said it, God bring to

pass. So this is how I'm going to ask us to just remember,

how do we continue doing what's good? First of all, focus on God's

faithfulness. See, we can only hold on to God. We understand God's

faithful. Many times our journey everything that God's just up there right, it's

sitting on the chair that don't really care about us. Maybe or one time

we hear. If you're paying hard and long enough, you hear us.

But God, we have to come to this place whereby we understand God's faithful.

He'll be faithful with you at your workplace. He'll be faithful to you

at your exam hale. He'll be fitful to you when you get then accident,

when you're all love waiting for the told truck. He'll be fit for

you to you when your roof is leaking in your house. Because things like

that does happen to people and friends. It doesn't mean that just because it

happens to earth and God's are faithful. It doesn't mean that when things around

us the word is that bad that we think that God's not real. That's

what the Bible says. I can be pressed at all side, but not

Crush ends up with the scripture by saying that who can separate and what can

separates from the love of God. We can only trust in his faithfulness because

God loves us and he's faithful. Many times our own journey, friends,

we don't even realize how much He loves us because the next time when you

go to stuff which money cannot solve, friends cannot bring your deliverance and a

breakshoe. Only God can you come to this place? Why God, I

finally understood that you are such a faithful God. He provided me with the

peace of the postle or understanding. Focus on God's faithfulness? How do you

not grow very focus on God's faithfulness because He's the Alpha and Omega. The

Bible says he never changed friends, even though when we are faithless, the

Bible says, he will remain faithful. He will remain faithful and speaking over

your life right now, he will remain faithful. Friends many times their own

journey as well. Today we felt like following God tomorrow, don't feel like

following God today. I felt like I'm in just to my don't feel like

I'm in the church to fect serving to mow, feel like serving human also

freaking mind it. But God, it's not like that, So how do

we continue doing what's good? No? Mother focused on god faithfulness, Remember

his faithful, his mercies at you every morning. He never changed. And

no matter what you do, we never change his opinion about you. No

matter what you have done last night, what you have thought. You want

to kill your parents, you want to kill your neighbor, you want to

your neighbor's cat. He has never changed his opinion. His thoughts about you

sometimes their own genee, our own life. You condemn ourself so hard because

we think that we're not good enough. At this point, God wants to

remind us again I loved you, but I don't want you to remain the

same I love you. That's a starting point, the entry point of transformation.

You see, the Bible says that renew your mind so you can be

transformed by the reineing of your minds. We think, oh, if God

loves me, he accept me for who I am. Yes, he accepted

for who you are, but he doesn't want you to remain where you are.

He accepts you for who you are, but that's not wants you to

remain where you are. And then there's our journeyere I so stopped because we

never allowed transformation to come in. He's just always at the doorway. God

loves me, yes, but we have to develop more than that. We

have to allow God to transform us renewers for earth. The Bible here says

in their chapter six, for us induced itself time to experience his full blessing.

Habocook chapter four, term maybe to Habricook chapter four, I think,

or Habercoo chapter three. I just just so sorry, I XTV just give

me a moment. I turned the scripture. I just descriptures kid on my

hypercoo chapter two or chapter four. The last portion, yeahbocoo, I think

chapter four or chapter three, Sorry was seventeen. Even though the fig trees

has not blossom. Oh yes, I know, I found it too.

Even though the fig trees have not blossom, when there's no grapes on the

even though the olive crop fail, the few have light empty and barred,

even though the flocks have died in the fields and the catter barts are empty

fats. Everything's all negative. I planned something, do not come to pass.

I rare something. It died. Everything's empty. There's an emptiness all

around me. Worse eighty come on yet I will rejoice in the Lord.

This is what happened when we focus on God's faithfulness, even though the surrounding

around us it's all negative. Worst everything says even though the fig trees have

not blossomed. Do you know how irritating it needs to see a fruit tree

but no fruit? Durian correct, But our hit closer to home. Most

of us see it. If you grew up in our family, we have

something called a mango tree. As a child, always hit the mango tree

on because our parents, who ask us to steep the leaves, clear a

bit of the garden. Right. Every time you see your neighbor mango tree

fruiting, your trees are fruiting where your fruit the fruit comes out small half

the time. The birds in the air would need it. Right. Remember

those times Bible said the frick tree have not lost up. It is the

word is that the tree is supposed to fruit, but no fruit. You

know how you're thinking it is not You have done everything all you could,

really, but no ye, even even though there's no grapes on the wine

having the form of no power, I'm supposed to be triving you working it

out, but I don't feel that I'm doing anything significant. I'm supposed after

I graduate. He has dreams, you have an aspiration, you have a

desire. But the moment you step out of the couple of world friends,

you felt like I'm just one of the many people who's doing the same thing.

You know, how blak and how deem. The situation is not here

the Bible, he described, even though there's no olive crop, the fuel

lines empty and barren. And this is what the Lord wants to minister to

ears friends. The Lord understand and knows, he knows, he knows we

see people having a break troue. Our breakte hasn't come here. He knows,

he understands. Worse eighteens where I'm trying to get all of us here,

So stay we may right now. I just got another twenty more minutes

worse eighteen yet yet in the midst of the frick tree that has not blossomed

yet, in the graves we have no wines. Yet, when the fuse

lies in empty and waste, empty and barren, I will rejoice in the

Lord many times our journey friends, Why am I we need to scripture?

It's a reminder for earth because the days already you're in right now, you

try to hurt no promotion. Maybe got some promosing promotion, but promotion income

was eighteen is a reminder. Promotion comes from the Lord. You could be

in it for a season, but not a lifetime. We don't like the

words that we never like empty, few and friends. Come on home if

you like your feel slice empty and barren. My nice was it is a

reminder. I will rejoice in the Lord. I will be joyful in the

God of my salvation. Why can we how can that was? How on

earth can we rejoice and now when everything is so negative around us? How

can we find joy and strength when things around us look so bleak worse?

Nineteen The Sovereign Lord is my strength. Knee might put it as to drop

the Lord's my strength. You and I today need to remember and be reminded

that our strength doesn't come by what we have. Our strength doesn't come by

the physicality of our master. Mess Many times you oh, just because we

mustn't we have strength? No, yes, you may have physicalist strength,

by the physicist strength will fail, will fail when you're eighty you cannot bench

pressed what you did in in your twenties, it will fail your bank account,

or I would my strength count to my bank account. But the day

will come. The Bible says all day and you have bad couds, not

even enough, they're where do we turn to? Who can we call to

the days with my issues that money cannot solve? Brother, well yesterday that

you know in my position right now, every pain I get, I call

my best who is a surgeon, a good doctor. They are tend to

me. But I've realized the law has probably been displaced where by my friends

and my good doctor sometimes may not be the best option for me. I

got to turn to the Lord. It's very easy for us urban nights here

and urban nights you're staying in the city to turn to a doctor of physician.

So sharing one or sharing this mess one Monday, or sharing one chips

plan saying that our fifth really get tested when we go for mission trip,

really get tested where you go for mission trip, because at the mission trip

is what happens. You can lead worship. Okay, worship now wrong one?

You can always lead be people worship. What are you going to share

to a growl of farmers? Think about it. You're talking about Christian faim.

What are you going to share? You can't say that give ten percent.

How are you going to encourage a growl of believers who are farmers.

How are you going to encourage your growl believers who are durant owners. Your

faith has to be real in urban as well. It's in the compom.

It cannot be the Bible, one Bible for urban, one bible for the

religious. There's no sustake. So therefore the Bible here says that the Sovereign

Lord is my strength, the fastest and better understanding behalf of this. It

will help us and developers to know that no matter what situation comes around us,

that God is my strength. First, you and I need strength to

wake up. Our strength cannot come just because we have work, because the

work one day will pass. I will desire to wake up friends and leave.

It's because of the Lord. How not to stop doing what's good to

really understand the heats of strength. See many times you want to do the

Lord's work with our own strength, you will fail. It says it that

he will make me as true footage as a deer, able to tread on

high mountains. And this I'm going close. I won't pray for all of

us, I said out descriptured earlier on John six, verse nine. Do

not be deceived God's no more, do not be me sled because many times

in our own Christian work right, we may all lot presump sure about how

to s of the Lord. This is how the lots supposed to be served.

And that's why sometimes you never get big truant. Doesn't mean just because

you're a Christian the understands of the Lord. I spoke last time at xtraras

that just because you're a Christian coming to church or Sunday we think that's enough.

It's not. It is not because our faith needs to be the words.

We need to put few to our faith. We need to put few

to our faith. We need to the word exercise faith. And that's why

coming together to priest and as the exercise of faith gring through the truff get

to go to a prayer s someways its access of faith. It is true,

but I want the prayer service to happen next. All I find the

nearest person to the church is the last one to come. The first person

away from the church is the earliest to come. Now I'm just sharing he

needs of friends, I do not know you like I say again, you're

not seeing extra as Okay, next week it's a reader of the wink.

After that someone else. All right, I'll see you in maybe two month's

time, if possible. I said, I'm wordy to come back right and

this, and just because we are a Christian, we're not there's a presumption

not the gift. No, isn't it true? Every believer only give the

minimum. God's only ten percent? Right? No, ten percent is the

minimum. So I was talking it needs to brothers were just we're just sharing

a I come to realize they say that ten percent is actually the minimum.

No, I'm not asking you to increase. You give you my next week

by asking you to allow God. The word is that the word is marrying

it your heart. Faith have to come in. Please don't give next week

because I ask you to give all right, or afterwards you gotta take out

offering of this. Please do not increase by one percent when anything, when

anything that's not an allow faith, you will not read one. You need

to allow God to speak to you, put an amount on your heart.

Just because you are believer doesn't mean how to serve. Many times you just

serve the Lord. I just show up the way I want this, how

God's supposed to be served. I don't know whether they should share this lot.

Well maybe I should, Maybe I just should. Okay, please forgive

me a right. Do those stole me? Okay, don to me,

don't doose to me? All right? I say it. Huh oh your

stones that your story is smoking easy? My friend is smoking easier? Your

stone really? So I let you know the lead past here, past Gloria.

Okay, I'm just a busity out there here. Okay, this is

how I'm gonna end. I asked a friend of mine who was a staunched

Buddhist. Staunched Buddhist, and I went, asked, just very curious,

because I submit, if you if you be to submit before right, you

see, there's a big autar before you exit, and I always way,

I'm very very curious. I say, is there a guideline of what you

put at the altar? Is there a guideline or what you put at the

altar? Meaning a friend, I say that, like Monday is banana,

Tuesday is orange. No, I'm I'm just stress instead, just a questionary

because I, uh, my grandparents was buddiest so I see, I see

autars. Sometimes I just didn't understand I know something. They put cigarettes at

the author. They one depending on how I say. So, I said,

since your question was that I said that? H I said, is

there a guideline? Because the Bible guideline you give, for example, right

the guideline, I said, So, I really asked, is that there's

no guide line? By just that what's on your heart? You just give

right what you think is right. You just put on the altar there and

sometimes sometimes right people give different different offerings to their gods. And I realized

that sometimes that's earth as well. Just because we put there, God has

to accept. Just we put something at the author, he has to accept.

I realize from kin and Able's giving is how true you know? Story?

You able, you'll know you all know the story here. That's the

glory if they do bad Bible story here ready X kids, a cane and

able friends. Someone gave fruits just picked from the garden. Another person gave

the best of this hurt without blaming, without spots. You tell me,

friends, we should offering. God accepted got love fun offering rejected their love

offering just because God, I serve humor. This is I presented myself to

you. But God always looked at the heart rather than our showing up.

God will look always look at our heart rather than the man would put our

back. God will always look at our heart. You could be a worship

leader. Okay, I'm not talking about too this worship. You could be

a worship leader right seeing God. So everyone in the congresation lift up their

hands and in tears. But if you have an argument with your mom and

you're dead, and you ended the phone call without the peace, there is

no anointing. You could put a thousand ringing in the offering back. You

hate your brother, you hate your sister. The Bible says that you read

God rather you put the money aside, set to the differences, and only

come at to give Why God is always after the heart because no once it

hits your heart. Friends, you're offering, you will be right. Many

Christian wants to get the offering right, but our heart is not in a

good place. I want to remind us again, do not be deceived of

misled. God is not more. Please do yourselves that knows your Christianity based

on your interpretation, and try to fight. Oh the other person is doing

it. Also ken Ma. The other person's letter also ken Ma our Christianity

and our believe he's guided by the word. We follow God, we inspire

people to live higher. I realized this is what the speaker reminds us again.

Where the Christianity is today in Malaysia, it is what our fathers did

yesterday. So where Christianity will be tomorrow is what you we all as believeable,

are going to do today. It's either we keep the word, is

that the standard and the fire higher, so that tomorrow have a role model

look up to, or bring it down so that tomorrow will be even easier.

We have to decide today, friends, how we are supposed to leave

our life and what we're living for tomorrow be Pasticana, Passandra and Chand will

be flying off to Indonesia to train about hunger and fifty pastors know how about

hunger passes, about hunger passes in Indonesia, some of them from different proper

Indonesia. But we're going to this place cost Solo, in the center of

Jahwa. There it's about three hunger to four hurekilometers away from Jakarta. Passer

Francais, you'll take the flight to Solo, because driving a car from Jakarta

to where we are it's about six hours Indonesia six hours with really long friends.

For me, six hours constantly driving. It's not issue six hours in

the traffic jam where you need to pee. One separate story, but the

sacrifice the team is going down there. The train passes because they pass the

please calm and train. The passes over here because they want to catch the

fire that we saw in Malaysia. These are a lot of passes from the

big cities that passes from the small cities, smaller town and smaller villages.

And in the interiors of Indonesia. I found out that I was talking to

a friend. I was talking to one Indonesia worker who is fishermen who came

out here to work in the construction side. I say, what do you

work? Were you working Indonesia? Fishermen? But I thought fisherman fantasty.

You could early quite a good living with say no for us average setting price

of a fish. Oh there's chewing it per kilo, the going it per

kilo. That's so cheap. Oh here, there's nothing can get true in

here. A kilo Sunday is my expresses the true and get a kilo.

We're like then there, We're like, no, wonder they need the lot

over there. I don't want to share this with you. You think about

it, not be deceived. God's not more. What you saw you will

read. Where we are today is what we'd be sewing yesterday. How we

are feeling today is what emotions are. What seed would be sewing yesterday.

Today, you're feeling grumpy because we'd be sewing grumpy seats somewhere along the line.

One along the line would be sewing right. I think the question is

going to be this, and when will the last time we exercise faith God?

I want to clean slip God, I want to break truth. I'm

going to keep on sewing. The Bible says he a good chapter three,

that able. Though I don't see anything yet, I will still hold onto

you. I'll still rejoice because the word of God that will fails. His

word is yes an amen. It's either the words a liar but is a

lie, or the words truth. If you hold the Gods would In Romans

chapter four, like Abraham did not waver in his fame God. When God

gave a promise, you'll see it come to pass. Then you and I

today, friends, the wold, the God's words and God. If this

scripture is for me, I'm going to declare it into my situation. So

do you think the Abram every day when he wakes up, look in the

mirror. You'll be a father of many nations. So do you think the

abral wakes up? He declared God, I trust in you. Do you

think the Abram kept selling his faith, I kept selling his favors, He

kept silent in his quiet time. No, he declared it. He reminded

himself and too many Christias keep it quiet only because to tell people, knowing

to tell myself that, do you know how hard it is to continue stay

motivated if you're not trying to the words declare truve not. Do you know

how hard to stay motivated? Even the world understand this. You look in

the mirror, declare that you are you are lying. I have not seen

anybody right who wants to be concoted. You are a mouse. That's why

you are a mouse. No, I'm passionate about this only because I've realized

from the realization that if you don't exercise faith in the way we live now,

if you don't exercise faith and the words. Allow God to bring us

through the storm. Allow God to bring us through that that that that fire

is very hard for us to experience. Break truth. Given a choice,

we will between fire and no fire. Where will you go no fire?

Law? Given the choice, So we don't like to shower. Shower or

shower law true or not? Given the choice, everything, given the choice,

serve or don't self law. Serve because got troublema, you have the

dress up, come early, away your chests. They hid to people.

Do not talk to people. You're not a money person, so much adjustment

need to be bad. Those very easy to Just come to Chishma and friends

smile say I'm not not here any one of your but hear my heart.

Why we do things? We don't serve because this is speaker asses to because

the Bible says we are supposed to focus on a lot. Don't go where

we are doing what's good. Don't go worry and pursuading God. Don't go

wary in drawing closer to the lot, because in due season, in due

time, you shall reap. I have never heard anyone who fold the Lord

the words got short change never yes, obviously but elder, though he's still

living poor. Not true. Not true. You'll come. You come to

a place you recognize, and you realize your faith is really more valuable than

pressure, than gold silver. When Passapala goes to the power, in the

interiors of the power, all they have was the Lord. When you're away

from every civilization, every access of modern amenities, you have the love with

you. What are you going to do there? Called food bender? I'm

hungry, deliver food? Pray does a brother? Let's they share with us?

They prayed? God give them a hours. Some people go no food.

We just ask us our parents open up the fresh's food there already?

How want to just encourage you, really, then the right time you shall

read a blessing if you don't give up hope. In the right time,

you shall read if you don't give up hope, fans, do not give

up yet. Don't say that it's so hard. I'm not sure when you

come true, Please do not give up when God's encouraging the press on.
