Ordinary Revival | Ps David Yeow

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

We hope this message will light up your day.

This year of a church theme, not just locally but

globally is revival, revival and revival.

It's not just about waiting for God to move.

Revival is about moving with God. Revival is saying that

God restoring me, you know, the heart that I maybe

have lost, our grown colds. You know, at one time

we came to know Jesus and we're just so excited

you couldn't wait to tell the whole world about him.

But over time life has a way of pouring cold

water into our hearts. And over time, you know, different

situations and circumstances maybe made us a little bit more shy,

made us a little bit more reserved, maybe us a

little bit more private about our face. But revival is

asking God to restore again, to breathe life again, you know,

to the dry bones of our faith, to maybe not

to say that you run out of fire, but maybe

just like those of us who've gone for a good

barbecue before, sometimes the ember you know, has been over

time been coated by a lot of dust, and you

need the fan of God, you need the wind of

the Holy Spirit to kind of fan that flame, bro

away the ashes so that the ember get light again.

You know, kind of like earlier on when the birthday

cake came out. You know, it looks like the cannon's

about to go out, and then we need the intervening

hand to come in. And then I saw the flame

go up again, like wow, that's that that that will preach.

That's a sumministration right there. Amen, Praise God. And you know,

I want you to know that God's moving and we're not.

We're not waiting for God to move. In fact, it's

the opposite. God's waiting for us to move. God's already moving.

You know our famous revival Bahami. Know that it's always

been God's heart to breathe new life, to pour out

his fire.

You know, two thousand.

Years ago the day of Pentecost, God already poured at

his fire and he's and he's waiting on us, his people,

to get with him so that he can do it

again and again and again. And I just want to

bring forth an encouragement that you know, God's moving globally

and even as I share this, you know, uh, you know,

let this testimony be your testimony.

As well, because you are one church.

Amen, so our our victories in the UK is your

victory because you've been covering us in prayer and we

are one church. And God's God's really moving and I'm

so humble and in awe of God. Recently one of

the big moves of God was those literally a move.

We changed locations.

For the last ten years, from twenty to fifteen, we

were meeting in this kind conference facility in central London,

relatively central London, and it's a conference facility.

When you're first moving, we're moving by faith. Were moving

to the smallest room, to the smallest room.

But over the over ten years, the grace of God,

our room grew grew and grew and grew, and then

last year it came to a point where we were

occupying their largest room that was available to us. They

have larger rooms but at the moment is not available

to us, but the largest room available to us. And

you know, God's bringing people and it was a food

house every week and it was so full that people

were sitting shoulder to shoulder and our church was like,

you know, majority young people still, but God is bringing

the nations. We have people from Ukraine we have people

from from from you know, uh uh, you know, not

just Malaysia, but but Singapore, you know, Indonesia. You know,

we have one girl from Philippines, so please pray for

us rival with one more amen, uh. And we have

we're people from Uganda, We're people we have people from

Sri Lanka. We're people who who are Brits. But they

come from different ethnicity. You know, they they come from Zimbabwe.

But then they are second generation. You know, they're from Nigera.

But the second generation.

Uh.

You know that means that that they identify as a

bread first. But but there's different you know, tongues and

tribe and the very exciting thing recently, God brought this

brand new tribe to church. And I have no experience.

I don't know how. I'm happy that they're but I

don't know how to talk to them. It's called the family, tribe, family.

I know, it's Joe and Sow. You think what tribes is, No,

that means people who are older, you know, people who

are retiring. You know, so because our church, for the

longest while, Passe and I were the oldest.

And you know, I'm I'm turning, Yes, I'm turning forty.

Four this year, and for the longest one, I was

the oldest and the youngest church member. Every year, you know,

church just kids younger and younger. You know, every year

what year we're born? Your two thousand year born two

one oh uh And and then suddenly God not only

brought people to a church from different nations, but it

brought this trick that I have no experience.

Maybe Pastor Jack and Pastaji maybe different ones. You have

a lot of experience, Please pray for us.

I have no experienced people in the retirement age, people

in their fifties, in their sixties, and they're discovering our church.

Majority of young people, but they say, we love it.

Some came because they followed their grandchildren. Some came because

they followed their children. Now you know how old they are.

You know.

Some came because they say we heard about you and

and and summer a younger heart.

You know.

Some come and they love it by they say in

the back room. Some some come and they love it

and they want to get involved. And and God's bringing

and myself and pass keep were praying. We're going, like God,

what do we do? We don't know how, you know,

how do we connect you know, do I call them

uncle auntie?

They're like, you know, what do I do? And but

it's exciting. Amen.

You know, revival always leads us to to to just

exciting places, to places that we've never been before. So

please pray for us. Amen, we're scratching our heads. You know,

do we start ex family? Do we start a family lounge?

You know?

And and because of the added numbers, we had to

move to a new location and uh and and praise God.

You know, our own location it was like shoulder to shoulder.

And after a while, you know, a packed house is good,

but when it's so packed after people were were you know,

they felt a bit shy to invite their friends because

if their friends come, they got no place to see

their friends come. It's too hot. So by the bye bye,

by faith, we moved to a new location that can

sit much more people. And uh but and praise scrit

it's just five minutes away from where we are at

uh and and and so please come if you ever

in the UK, please come. Uh you know, if you

ever want to, you know, just this, you can do

mission trip. You can bring all the family group to

connect with our family group. And you know, it's amazing. Uh.

And and not only we by the grace of God,

you know, growing.

Little by little in in quantity, there's still so much

room for growth. But but we're seeing fruits of that.

Praise God.

But but God's bringing changed lives, you know, speaking of

the retirees and all that, we have this amazing family

that they're join us a few years ago. Uh, they

are in the retirement age, but they love God so

much and this is a sign of revival. I know

that God is moving in their lives. And I know

they're moving with God because you know, they they live

about it's an hour and hour and a half, about

nineteen minutes outside of London.

But they heard of our church.

In fact, how they heard of the church U was

one day their oldest son, who not interested in the

things of God. So they say, Mom, I'm going to

church this week. And then they go that their parents,

who will believe us, go like this is so strange.

And then they follow the sun just to make sure

that it's not going to the wrong church. You know,

maybe some of you did that welcome, you know, and

and you stayed because you anyway, and then they came

and they just stayed on and and they are plugged

into the life of the church so much so that

they say, you know, this is their heart desire. They

live but nineteen minutes out south of central London. So

every Sunday they come in nineteen minutes one direction, nineteen

minutes out another direction.

You know.

But of course you know, they come into London, they

do all the you know, grocery shoppings as well. Then

they they come go up, you know, but they want

more of God. So recently what they said is this

that they say, past and pray for us. Where we

we have a house that's fully paid off. You know,

it's paid off. We own this one hundred percent. But

we want to buy a new house. We want to

move nearer to the church. We will move nearer to

central London so that we can be closer to the

move of God, so that our new house can be

opened up to do homes, so that we can have

people over for fellowship, so that we connect with them,

so that we have a place to to to pray

and to have homes and and other things. And so

they have a fully paid house, but then they're planning

to like sell that off by faith and apply for

our new loan. You know, their older son, he already

has a property. He's planning to sell that off so

that they can pull together their resources to buy a

bigger house for the family to live closer.

I mean, this is this is revival stuff, right.

How many of you here, after paying off your mortgage

will go like and I will.

Do this all over again.

Not because it's a better postcode so that I can

be nearer to God. You know, it's different if you

go like, wow, and I got a better deal. No, no, no,

they're not going for a better deal. They're going for

a better destiny. They're saying that, you know, we can

be in our age retired by faith. When it comes

to faith, there's no retirement age. And was so encouraged

by them. And it's revival friends, it's revival.

Amen.

Recently, we also have another young person you're saved baptized.

We just baptized him last year at all at our

you know camp get away. And this guy, you know,

young man, charismatic and he used to be you know,

his student by part times.

He's so charismatics, so good looking. He's a part time

nightclub promoter.

So before he got safe you will go there and

you give up flyers and bring people clubbing. You know,

he'll be the guy that that you know, you watch

his movies, go in Speed of the Bounce, I'm on

the list, and he is on the list, and he

brings in five girls in that would be him. And

God changed him, revival paul him and he gave his life.

Is his baptized were we're discipling him still and now

he is he's bringing people to church. He's bringing you know,

he's using the same gifts you know, just like the

marketplace annoying thing you no Valerie Shad, you know, like

God's give me this opportunity, I'm gonna use it. And

so he's bringing people, you know, and and and as

a church is gonna be ready because of the people

that he brings when they know there the idea of

Sunday best is different, you know, because for them, their

best is when they go clubbing. So when they go

to church and address their best, you know. So so

we're gonna teach our people, don't don't judge, you know, pray, pray.

You know, as they got more revived, you know, the

long the clothes will grow longer.

Anyway, Praise God, Praise God.

I just want to share that, uh, just because you know,

every life is precious and all victories your victory.

Our testimony is your testimony.

And we we we cannot do anything that we do

if not for just God. And also the love and

the support that comes from being part of a global family.

And uh and and just like how when I go

back to the UK, you know, I share the testimony

is in ex cyber and ex church, you know.

So so don't worry, don't worry.

I'm low background, so I understand strata, title, tribunal, judge

your honor, you know.

So I'll be sharing, you know.

And that's such a powerful marketplace testimony of course, you know.

Uh And and and you.

Know, talking about healing, last year we've had young people

healed from uh sarcoma. Is it like like a very

aggressive strain of cancer. We see people get healed from that.

Uh.

We just just you know, we have we have people

who suddenly just have you know, collapse lung and then

God healed them from that.

And and God is moving. God is moving right.

Our Jesus is still healing today as he did many

thousand years ago. Amen, He's still changing lives today, just

how He changed lives you know, a thousand years ago.

Our God is live.

Amen, and and and this brings me to my message today.

And if you're taking out notes, the title of a

message today is called ordinary revival, ordinary revival. Now, there's

nothing ordinary about revival, because it's a move of God.

But what I'm trying to get here is that this

is an ordinary revival because it's a revival of ordinary people.

You see, many times when we think of revival, it's

pay a Christian word. We think that this is only

for the big leagues. Now, this revival only applies to

pass the jet doctor, Jill, maybe Katy. You know anyone

who holds the mighty in front. Yeah, they have business

with revival.

I don't. I just come to church.

I'm just looking for a place to worship that that's all.

I've got enough problems of my own. I want to

move of God, but I'm not ready for a move

of God. I'm just trying to figure my life out.

And yet we serve a God who wants to pour

our revival, and we serve a God who is interested

in using ordinary people, and not just using ordinary people.

But God iss for revival to happen in ordinary, every

day circumstances. Don't think for a while that that, you know,

because sometimes we can be thinking, oh, revival. This year's

theme is revival. So we're waiting for revival. When will

revival come? When when will the remove of God hit

our church? Until, you know, service never ends because we

think that's revival. We think that, oh, you know, you know,

suddenly there's a news text message goes up x Cybergayas

started meeting at nine am this morning, and it's now

it's nine pm and they're still meeting. People are coming

out to the auto car, they're singing, they're repenting, and and.

Now if that happens, praise God.

There is a form of revival, but that is not

a complete revival because God's revival has always been not

contained within the four woes. You know, when you read

the Book of Acts, you know that was time to

pray and seek the Lord. And then for fifty days

after Jesus's asssion, they met daily to pray and then

the Holy Spirit dropped them. Then that's called why it's

called the pent cause Panta fifty and so it's it's

you know, fifty days after the ascension, and and then

after that did they continue to stay on and.

Have a revival meeting. No, they they spread out, they.

Went out, and then revival beginning pull out into the streets.

And so my hope is that you know, we will

this year say yes to moving with God and allowing

his supernatural to enter our natural.

Amen. But you don't have to take my word for it.

Let's look at scripture. Amen.

So if you're taking out notes, you know, let's turn

to some scripture. Is that okay, let's turn to X H.

It's good to turn to X as ex Church. And

we're gonna read from Acts chapter three, verse one to ten,

and then after that we're gonna jump forward and go

read Acts chapter four, verse thirteen to fourteen. But we're

gonna read X three one to ten first. If your

dad can't hear, good Amen. Amen.

If you don't have that, don't worry.

We have the amazing Activity team who having flesh out

on the screen and I'm gonna read it for us.

Amen.

Now, Peter and John went up together to the temple

at the hour of prayer. Praise God for the hour prayer.

Amen.

The ninth hour and a certain man lame from his

mother's womb, was carried whom they lay daily at the

gate of the temple, which is called beautiful. So there

are different gates that lead the temple. This one was

called the beautiful gate, to ask alms to beg from

those who entered the temple. This man, who seen Peter

and John about to go into the temple, asked them

for arms, asked them for money, asked them for spad, change,

asked for anything, and fixing his eyes on him with John,

Peter said to.

This beggar, look at us.

So he gave them his attention, expecting to receive something

from them. Then Peter said, silver and gold I do

not have, but what I do have, give you in

the name of Jesus Christ of nationalers, rise up and walk.

And he took him by the right.

Hand and lifted him up, and immediately his feet and

ankle bones received strength. So he liping up, stood and

walked and entered the temple with them, walking leaping, praising God.

And all the people saw him walking and praising God.

Then they knew that it was he who sat begging

arms at the beautiful gate of the temple. And they

were filled with wonder, wow, Amen, and amazement at what

had happened to the beggar. Let's jump forward to ask

chapter four.

Verse.

Thirteen to fourteen. If you there can hear good Amen, Yeah.

Turned to the page. Then try to try to outrace XTV.

You know.

Yeah.

Of course, after that heathing, there was great excitement, great commotion.

But what we jump over was, of course Peter and

John being arrested because they were they were the religious

leaders will say, what is this, what's this? This is

unsanctioned miracle? What's happening now? When they saw the boldness

of Peter and John and perceived that they were uneducated

and untrained men, in other words, ordinary, they marveled, and

they realized that they had been with Jesus. You see,

you can be ordinary, but what you need is to

spend time with Jesus, and then you will He will

use you.

Amen.

And seeing the man who had been healed standing with them,

they could say nothing against it. Amen, Praise God, Praise God.

This you know, Act chapter three except the four actualpt

The two of course, was the great outpouring of the

Holy Spirit. But as you can see, according to the

Word of God, God's desire for revival was too ordinary men,

Peter and John, untrained, uneducated fishermen, you know, and maybe

by now it's like former fishermen. But God used them

and revival and healing and the gospel began to spread,

you know, to the point where even people who wanted

to criticize them couldn't criticize because the proof was too much.

You know, they realized, this is an ordinary man. How

how where didn't know anything come from? And of course,

you know, when they had the proof of the healing

standing next to them, just praising, leaping and just owning

the law, they could say nothing. And I believe that,

you know, all of this was written down to inspire us,

to encourage us, to tell us, as believe us, that

that God is in the business of revival, and he

is in the business of using ordinary people.

His desire is for revival not just.

To be limited to overnight prayer meetings, but for the

revival to be poured out into the streets, for healing

to be pought out into the streets, for the Gospel

to be pot in the streets, for restoration to be

pought out into the streets. And my incourasion for us,

even as our Church is stepping into this theme of revival.

I'm saying, Church, let's move with God. God is moving.

God's been moving since Act Chapter one, two, three and

four and beyond. But are we moving with him? Will

we move with him? Will twenty twenty six be the year?

Let's not talk about twenty nine five, Let's talk twenty

twenty six. Will twenty twenty six be the year where

you say yes to moving with God? And I pray

that you will. Because no eye has seen, no year

has heard what God has in store for you. You, you know,

God has so much more testimony in Stall for you.

Praise God for the testimonies we heard this morning. But

God has more in stall for us.

Amen. God wants to use us more.

Why because there are more people out there who need

to hear the gospel, more people out there who need

to know that our God heals.

Amen.

And so what do we do? I got three points

for us. I need to preach very practical, and so

I got three points to help us. Remember point number

one involved involve Remember this, God wants to involve you.

And you can say that I'm ordinary, but God wants

to involve you. I don't speak English It's okay. Jesus

didn't either. Just think about it. Think about it in

some of us here, Oh I have such broken English,

you know, just you know, he probably knew English, but

he didn't speak it. No, seriously, don't don't go like

what ches he says. No, seriously, point me in the

Bible where Jesus for in English? No, he spoke in Hebrew,

he spoke Arame. Maybe he spoke Greek, but no he

didn't say you know why because the English language wasn't

invented yet.

So so just think about it. You know, I don't

know I speaking English? How can God use me?

Oh? Jesus, you speaking English? God us him. The apostles

needs to be English. Language is no issue to the Lord.

Hey man, right, I've broken It's okay, It's okay, It's okay.

God can use you. God wants to involve you sometimes.

The problem with.

Christians is that that we don't believe that God believes

in us. You know, we don't believe that God should

believes God say that I mean the business of using people.

I mean the business of using Peter and John. The

scripture says that this was uneducated, untrained you know, a

lot of you. Here are professionals expects. So you're educator.

You're more educated than apostle Peter. Just think about it.

Just think about it. You're more educated than apostle John.

If you showed the apostle John the iPad, he'll be like,

what is this? But you're but you didn't know how

to flip it around. So you're more educated, you're more trained.

So you see that the issue isn't with education. The

issue isn't with training. The issue is have you been

with Jesus. God wants to involve you? So I hope

of responses we will say yes, I will get involved.

I will get involved. You see, they got involved. They

didn't just go like Jesus, you want to see your

kingdom come, you will be done. No, they got on

with it. They went and they and they just say God,

use us, and they were on their way. They were

just on their way. You know, it says now, of course,

you know it sounds very spiritual. They're on their way

to pray. But back then there was a very common

thing for every uh a Jewish Man. They're expected to

pray three times a day, go to the temple, pray

three times a day. That's why you read the Book

of Daniel. He prayed three times a day. It was

just like a habit. In other words, they were just

doing something that was just their habit of doing. But

they involve God in it. You see, we have a

lot of habits in our lives. But man, times you

don't involve God. We don't involve God. We don't say

God use me, you know. You know we drive the

world by have we say God, use my drive, use

my drive for what I don't know. Just use my drive,

use my drift to speak to me, Use my drive

so that I can pray for someone.

You use my drive, you know some of us here.

You know, your exercise every day praise God.

Would you say God used my exercise beyond just losing weight.

Maybe there's something God has his stuff for you. Maybe

as your lifting weights. You know, God's showing you something.

You know, my wife recently discovered a new hobby called

playing with lego. I know, you know we are you know,

if we can't help it, we kind of help it.

You know.

We will with young people so much. We if people

ask me what am I say, I'm gen z anyway,

I'm just okaing. But but you'd be surprised, right, So

she was playing lego and then she's telling me no, like,

why is it not happening? And then she looked back

at the instructions and she realized or she missed a step.

And then she told me and say, oh, I think

God's teaching me something. Sometimes, you know, when life goes wrong,

you go back to the instruction and then you realize

that you miss a step, and I gotta preach, preach, preach.

But you see, you know sometimes we play, do we

involve God in our play? All right?

So they were going to pray, of course, but they

involve God in their prayer. You see, you would think

that I'm going to pray, so prayer is my thing. No,

they were going to pray. But even before going to pray,

the miracle happened. Why because they understood that they serve

a God who involves ordinary people. And they said, yes,

God involved us. Two point number two is this invite?

All my points started to let the I involve, invite, invite.

You see, the thing about prayer is not asking God

for Don't get me wrong. The Bible does invite us

to ask. But do you know that when Jesus taught

us how to pray the Lord's prayer. It doesn't start

with stuff. It starts with God. It starts with our

Father in heaven. Hello, be your name, your kingdom, Come,

Your will be done. What is that? That's an invitation

you're saying that God. You say, prayer is an invitation

for God to come into your life, for God to

draw here for his kingdom, for his presence, for his glory.

You see a lot of times we don't understand what prayers.

We don't understand what the gospel is. The gospel is

not just getting forgiveness and getting eternal life. The gospel

is getting Jesus, because guess who will be spending are

we eternal toy with with.

Jesus, with Jesus.

So so so when we when we say yes to

the godspel, we're saying yes to Jesus, not just forgiveness.

When we pray, it's not just about asking for things.

It's inviting God's kingdom to come for for God. You know,

I this is the you know and and all the

points w your sequence.

Right.

So, so first of all, it's okay, I'm ordinary by

one to be involved in the revival works of God.

So what do you do next? You need to invite

God's presence. You need to invite God's glory to fill

your life. Why because we are ordinary. You see that

the scripture didn't stop with like and they look at

Peter and John and this was untrained and uneducated men,

and they were amazed. So they were amazed because they

have been with Jesus. And so we're gonna invite lawd

Jesus come and do you know that the Lord's prayer?

You know, even this morning, you know, the Lord showed

me something all of a sudden, It's like starting to

talk and all that, and he's his I like to

believe he's getting more confident, even though that they you know,

I asked him what's this? You know, he calls me dada.

And then that day I saw him playing water. Go

what's this? He says, dada? So I'm not sure, am I?

Am? I?

Is he calling me water? Doesn't matter? But this morning, Halladijah,

this morning he woke up in a very good mood.

He woke up smiling. He saw me, and then the

first thing he did he ran to me, you know,

on the badio was running and then he said Daddy

and and I was like, oh, and I certainly had

this moment where the Lord says that you as much

as that pleases and touches your heart. Do you know

that one of the sweetest thing I just felt? The

Lord said, do you know one the sweetest thing we

can do is believers, is to start our day say

above father, right, I mean every parent is room you

can agree, right, right, Nothing makes you day more. You

your your your child who have been very difficult the

night before, but that morning woke up like a like

an angel turned to you. You you probably still remember

last night because you didn't have any sleep. Right, every

every parent here say amen, right, But all it needs

is for that child, your son, your daughter to look

in the eye and says mommy, daddy. And then suddenly

every sin is forgiven, you know what I'm saying. And

then suddenly you feel not just cities for given about

you as a parent. You feel like you've got a

second win. You You cuertainly remind yourself this is what

this is. You know, you certainly feel like I just

want to love you. Do you know that we serve

a relational God? Did you know that God, you know,

gave us the ability to have family so that we

can better understand him. Actually, because he is a father.

He's the eternal father with an eternal son. So so

God was a family unit from eternity, right, and and

and and I just caught there. I'm like, wow, God,

this is what prayer is. And Jesus taught us this

beautiful way to pray. Start by saying Father, and every

morning can encourage you. Do you know how you can

melt God's heart? Wake up, don't check your emails, don't

check your WhatsApp, don't scroll. Wake up and made the

first thing you do, just make it a habit, even

in your bed. Make the Lord's prayer a habit, a

new habit.

Then you wake up.

Let the first confessions of your lips in the morning.

Be our Father in heaven. Hello, be your name, your

kingdom come. Oh, I've got examine today, by your kingdom.

Come.

Well, I've got interviews today. But your kingdom come. I've

got deadlines today. But your kingdom come, and your will

be done. Your kingdom. Why, because your kingdom is beautiful,

Your kingdom is amazing. There's no sickness in your kingdom.

There's blessing in your kingdom. There's restoration in your kingdom.

That's healing in your kingdom. There's protection in your kingdom.

That's revival in your kingdom. And I'm saying that God,

bring all that into this ordinary vessel, into this ordinary life.

I'm going to work, but let your kingdom follow me.

Let let let let the perfume of your kingdom follow

me wherever I go. God Jesus is inviting us to

say that not only do we touch God's heart, but

I guarantee your life will be changed.

You know, you don't know you don't need coffee. You know,

my God is trying to teach me. You know he's

in that day now.

I know you love coffee, and there are days in

the morning where I tell myself and I need coffee.

You know I can't.

You know have you been there some of your addicted people?

You know, we we say things to ourselves, We matter

to ourselves. I can't do this. No, we almost say

I need like whatever, email your guess that I can't.

I can't do this. I need my coffee first. And

the lawyer is trying to say that, Dave, would you

say that about me? I can't do this. I need

my time with Jesus. First, my time with Jesus. Then

suddenly you know it is time with Jesus. Is the

real coffee for ourselves? Amen, So invite, invite, Amen, involve

God once doesn't matter. I know some of us were

sitting here, maybe your student, maybe your professional, maybe your housewife,

or maybe you are very young, you know, in school

and if you're so ordinary.

But our God can use you.

Our God uses students, or God uses housewives, or God

us us. If you're employed, unemployed, God can use you.

Educated and educated God can use you. But that using

doesn't just happen.

It is a.

Partnership that that we need to play a part. We

need to say, yes, we are ordinary, so God feel

me so that this ordinary cup becomes less ordinary, This

ordinary lawyer becomes less as ordinary. There's this, this ordinary

family becomes less ordinary. Invit, invit. They were going to pray.

They were going to pray. Peter and John were going

to pray. They made it a daily habit. It says

that ninth hour, which is technically three pm, and so

that means that they would have been at the temple

at nine am, twelve pm, and then three pm.

They were going there three times. A day.

They will say, God, your cannot come, Your will be

done in our lives. Come and move, Come and move.

Part number three is this be intentional. Be intentional. So God,

I'm ordinary, but I can invite you. And after we've been,

after we've invited the presence of God and we feel

him feel us, And then what's next?

Do we just wait for a sign?

Because sometimes that's what Christians think, right, God, use me

show me a sign. So we go to sleep, you know,

thinking that, oh God, if you drop a vision, if

you drop a dream, you know, and then it just

because you're just no. But but they were just going

to the temple. But they were intentional. They were intentional.

They weren't sleepwalking. Sometimes we can sleep walk to church. Ouch,

we're gonna sleepwalk to our prayer meeting out we're just

checking off a list. They weren't checking off the lists.

Sometimes we go to what we're checking off a list.

We do all quiet time, like checking off a list.

And God is saying, no, be present, be intentional, because

there's something, there's a mission and the way to pray.

There was a mission. God showed them. They've got to

show up in order for God to show them. Sometimes

we want God to show us before we show up.

Does it make sense? God tell me where to go

that I will go, God says, go and I'll tell

you what to do. You know.

Sometimes we go like God, you know, which you know?

I don't know? You know, and no missions is coming out?

Which mission should I go to? All a missions? Should

I go overseas mission? You know? Should I go this?

Or should I go that?

God says, just go and then wherever you go, just

be intentional and God will use you. Logo overseas doesn't matter,

you know, logo come with you, what doesn't matter. Just go.

But as you go, don't sleep walk as you go,

don't be religious as you go, be present, you know,

be intentional and God will show you.

Because let's not let's not forget. You know.

Sometimes we read the world of God, you know, we

gotta just pause and let the world have God breathed.

There are probably a lot of bankers there, but God

showed them which one exactly.

There's probably a lot of people begging. And then that

was the third hour.

So so this guy was begging from morning to evening

and they were going there to pray at the third

hour that they were there twice prior, if you follow

their local customs. But it was at the third hour,

it was at the sorry, at the ninth hour, at

the it was then that that God says, turn to

this person and do something.

God is interested. God is the one with the information.

We just need to be sensitive.

And so my encourage is this, go to work, study,

you know, be a good citizen, be be contributing members

of society. But as you're doing that, allow God to

guide your steps. Allow God to tell you where to

fix your eyes. You know, as I'm saying this, I'm

learning to practice it myself. You know, just even yesterday,

you know, I I you know, we were privileged enough

to be invited to one of our UK church partners,

you know, wedding reception, and uh that it's another testimony

in itself. Uh. This this young lady who when she

went to London she didn't know the Lord, and uh,

you know, through different invitations to our church, she came

to know the Lord. She gave a life to Jesus,

got baptized last year and h but she had already

been married. She had already counts like you know, for

for some of the younger ones and they registered their

their marriage. But then maybe like a year later, they

do their dinner reception in Malaysia and this young lady,

you know, she's she's baptized believer, and she's like, you know,

can can you do a blessing ceremony? You know, I

know we're already married, but but I'm now only now

I'm a Christian. I would love God to bless and

and her heart is even so that my family members

can can have a glimpse of what looks like, so

that even through the wedding message, they can have a

little faint echo of what the gospel is like. And uh,

it's such you know again revival revival that people don't

get married, but they will be like, you know, I

want to use it this time. I want to do

it right. I want to use it to girl if

I God. And so we're provisionedough to yesterday be there

to be part of that to bless this couple. And

even while we were there, not just talking to different

family members, you know, different ones, oh thank you, thank

you this, And then I remember I was just there

and you know, I was looking around in the crowd

and and and recently, you know, I don't know whether

it's like being a new parent count thing I've I've

been like, it's just given me one extra thing to

talk about, and uh, you know, one extra thing to

be shameless about. So I just go around and I

you know, this other couple, you know, the lady was

expecting and should sit there, you know, so she was

definitely expecting, you know, So I was just you know,

I was just looking at and guessing so I could tell, okay,

maybe you know, third trimester getting a bit heavier.

So I went over there and go like, you know, like,

when when are you doing? You know, what was I doing?

You know, I was being intentional.

I was looking around and I'm saying that, you know, God,

you're you're moving this and I don't just want I

don't even though I was there to share the message

and bless a couple, but I didn't want to just

share the message and bless a couple. I was looking,

I was scanning the crowd. God, let something intentional happen.

I saw this couple sitting over there and they were Hindu.

So I went over there and talked to them and

then they were like, oh, thank you. You know, sometimes

it's so funny, you know, Christians, sometimes it's the people

from other faiths that have a higher They put more

respect to men and women of ground. You know, it's

like that, you know, you know, oh, pasta, Oh please

don't bother to me. I'm like, but because in the

culture are so used to honoring, you know that the

men and women of faith and I and I talk

to them, and I go like, what are you do?

Oh?

You know, also excited, ask and do you know the gender?

Blah blah blah blah blah. And they're explaining to me,

you know this and that how they know the bride

and groom. And then as I'm telling them, no practical

fun things that I now know as a new parent,

oh or two more months, Oh please enjoy, go for

more movies, go for more days, because it will be

a wall before you get that back anyway, you know.

And uh and and then after all that, you know,

KLF like opening Icebreaker chat, I said, can.

I pray for you?

Can I pray for you? And they were like, yes,

of course, so can I pray? I know you don't

know because they say, we we we don't want to

know the gender. We want to be surprised. And I

say that, by can I pray for you? Pray for safety?

Live?

And they were like, was so hungry and so open

for me to pray. But I wasn't being super spiritual.

It wasn't like I woke up that morning with a

vision and God says that there will be a Hindu

campos sitting across there, go and talk to them and

let them go. No, I was there, and I was

just being intentional. I was saying that I'm a child

of God and what I carry is the presence of God.

And so God, show me who I can bless, show

me who I can pray for? Can imagine if our

entire church start doing.

It on a daily basis.

Don't just show up to work, I mean show up

to work, be excellent at it, and get good testimonies

for it. But can you also on top that, go

like who can I Who can I pray for? Who

can I bless? You know, sometimes we're over spiritual in

the wrong way. Right now, it's not just Chinese year,

but it's a fasting month. And uh, you know, do

you know that a lot of our Muslim brother sisters

and colleagues, they are more hungry than you realize more

open to prayer than you realize. And I pray that

we will learn to be a little bit not just bold,

but just be intentional, you know. And and and you

know one thing, I you know, I I do you

know because coming from Malaysia living in the UK, like

you know, you're you're not afraid to talk to people

from different backgrounds, you know, because we're so used to multiculturalism, right,

and so you know, uh, sometimes I shock, you know,

the local Muslims stare by, you know, just give them

a greeting or a slamon. They go looking with me

like where you're from. I'm from Malaysia. Then they go, oh, happy,

but I'm a Christian. Oh, and they get being confused

because they just you know, when they hear I'm from Malayia,

they get happy because they know mostly girl, but I'm Christians.

Oh but I would like to but but how are you?

And talk to them and I'll always offer the prayer,

especially in the fast thing, and say, may God revealed

himself to you, and he welcomes it because of course

he wants it. But you know, but I want it different,

you know, I'm like, may the True God reveal himself

and because guess what, they're in the perfect position to

receive it. They're fasting. Do you know when you first

fasting is a very spiritual act. So in one day's

a prayer, fast is coming. When you fast, it's a

very spiritual, something very spiritual happens. But but sometimes we

think that the devil's bigger. Oh the kind of fast things. No, no, no,

no fast thing is fasting, and my God is bigger.

So they can fast for the wrong wason. But they're

fasting anyway. But my God can open their eyes so

many you know, we've also in our church, we've also

occasionally have.

Had uh people from Iran and people from you know.

In fact, one of them many years ago, there was

a someone from who used to watch it Excyberjaya Bruce

who who who got a know asylum in uh Argentina.

But then he went to UK to look for well

and he came to our church. He said, I ex Cyberji,

so google ac church. She came to exce London and

anyway you can find out more. Some of you who

are old enough, No, Bruce and his son is all

grown up, uh and and he shad you know as Moslim.

He said that I came to know Christ in ex

Cyber Jaya because I had a dream. I had a

dream about Jesus but he was bloodied. It was a

very scary thing. But for us, a bloody crisis is

a sound of redemption. For them, it's like what is

this horror movie? Said Jesus whose blood is coming? And

then saying that I and he heard it in his dream.

He says, you are forgiven, You are forgiven. He didn't

understand why would this, like did I do something to this?

And then he says that it's only when I came

to ex cyber Jia.

I heard you say.

It was passa jack who was preaching and he hurt

the gospel and then he understood what he saw.

You see, God is moving.

He's looking for men and women, young and old, trained

and trained who will say yes, God involved me, and

yes God, because I'm so ordinary, I need more of

your presence, I need more of your word. I need

I need your fresh anointing every day. I need my

daily break every day. I need your kingdom to come,

your will to be done in my life as it

is in heaven. And then say, God, help me to

be intentional today. I'm going to walk, I'm going to school,

I'm driving on the road. Help me to be intentional,

because there's somebody you want me to bless, somebody. You

want me to share the gospel to somebody. You want

me to invite, the invite to Holmes. There's somebody I

can pray for. There's somebody. Because God, you are moving

and this is what ordinary revival looks like. Let's pray.

Thank you. Lord.

Lord, We thank you just that you love us so

much that you will use us. You love us so

much that even though we will sinn us, you didn't

say I will discard this useless people. Know you say

I will redeem them. I will give my life to

them so that they can have a hope in the future.

And because of that, Lord, with self a God who

is so gracious, you could have. Lord, you could have

just wipe us all out and start a new But Lord,

you chose to come into this world and make us new.

And so God will thank you. We thank you.

We can never thank you enough, and help us to

never forget that we are standing, living, breathing by your

grace nothing else. And Lord, we owe it to the

people around us. To share the good news of this grace.

And so before we close, I just want to pray.

I felt the Lord say, pray for people here who

say that God, I want to be used by you.

If that's you and you said that, you know, maybe

twenty twenty five was not a great year. You lost

yourself your faith, waned. Hey, we're not talking about the past.

We're talking about now. God is saying pray for those

that want to make this account for his glory. So

that's you and you say that, I'm ordinary byself of

a God who loves the ordinary and wants to involve

the God ordinary. So I want to get involved. If

that's you, I want you to raise up hands of

faith onto God, and I want to encourage you to

invite the Holy Spirit to just give you a double

portion of His anointing this year. And even as you're

inviting the Lord, I want to pray for you. I'll pray.

I want to pray for God's anointing. I want to

pray for God's dominion. I want to pray for God's

kingdom to come and overshadow your life.

His kingdom to.

Descend into your world, every area of your world, every

area of your life, family, private, professional, your prayer life,

and cause.

There to be a revival right now.

In the name of Jesus, you see every hand that's

hungry for you to use them. We don't know how

you will use this slow, but we want to be

used by you. We want to make this your account.

We want our lives to count. And so God, would

you pour out your anointing, Would you pour out your

Holy Spirit, Holy Spirit, if there's anyone here today, Lord

who feel like maybe their heart has grown cold, would

you cause a revival to happen right now and take

that heart of stone away and replace you with a

heart of flesh that beats for you again. God, I

pray right now, in the name of Jesus, give different

ones here a real hunger for prayer, a real hunger

for your word, a real hunger to please you, to

sit with you and to enjoy, and do not rush

through their time with you. I pray for a revival

of a devotional life, revival.

That people will be excited again to spend time with you.

I pray for a revival that even busy professionals will

make time to spend time with you. They will put

other things second so that they can spend another thirty

minutes with you. I see it, I see I declare

I prophesied some of you here. You're gonna have a

new hunger for prayer and Suddainly you will fine, it's

not like you. You're still the same. But suddenly you

find that Netflix doesn't satisfy anymore. You will find that

that YouTube doesn't satisfy anymore. You will find that, you know,

all this business finance talk doesn't satisfy any more. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

it's okay. You know, other people are crazy about it.

But somehow you just feel like it doesn't satisfy. It

doesn't feel But why it becomes cross giving you a

new hunger, a hunger to serve him, a hunger to

be his living walking vessels that will carry his presence

into the world today. And suddenly you will find it

more joy doing that than just watching another video. Yes,

a lie, you have more drive to do that than

just scrolling through Instagram. Suddenly you find I declare that

I prophesy that Lord, a new appetite, a new appetite, Lord, Lord,

we don't want less appetite for the things of the world,

and more appetite for you, and not just spirituality for

spiritual sake, but Lord, to be used by you more boldness. Lord,

give us confidence to pray. Give us the words to pray, simple, short,

sharp prayers. You talk, Peter and John to pray simple short,

shop prayers, gold and silver. I have none, but what

I have I give to you in the name of

Jesus Christ of Nazeris. Get up and walk. Help us

to preach. Help us to pray that kind of prayers,

confident prayers, prayers of healing and blessing, gospel prayers the

name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Live in the name

of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Walk in the name of

Jesus Christ of nas Earth. Help us pray in your name.

Open our eyes.

Lord, Lord.

We don't need our spiritual eyes to open. We just

need our physical eyes to open to what you want

to do.

And Jesus they me pray. Amen. Amen, Amen, as you

got praise. Amen, You've got praise.

Before we're close today, service, I just wanted quickly, I

want to just wonder. I know, is anyone here you

don't know, Jesus, Maybe a friend invited you. You've been coming,

You've been discovering the Christian faith and something and week

by week, time of the time, conversation of the conversation, prayer,

of the prayer, you just feel like there's something real,

something real, something I want you to know today. Stop procrastinating.

Say yes to Jesus. Say yes to Jesus.

He is real.

That's why you keep coming back. There's something about Jesus

that you cannot shake off, or maybe some of us here.

You are a believer, but you've you've you ran away,

you ran away from your faith, you beckislated. But today

you are not here by chance. This is the day

that the Law has made and you are here. God

is calling you back. Come back, my child, Come back.

I have great plans for you. I want to restore you,

heal you. I want to use you. And God uses

you in a beautiful way. The world uses you and

spits you out. The law uses you and use you

to be a blessing. Why because He first gave his

life for you. If that's you, I want you to

know that becoming a child of God, coming back to

his family is like abc.

A admit that you need God. Admit that you need God.

The Bible says that we're all sinners compared to our

Holy God. We are all sinners who need his forgiveness,

which leads us to be believe in Jesus. Jesus wasn't

just some good teacher. He's the son of man. He's

the son of God, the eternal son of God, who

came to earth not only to teach us how to

live and teach us how to love God, but also

he died. The Bible says he died for our sins.

He took all of our sinful habits or pasts or mistakes.

As God, he absorbed all that into himself. And then

he died on the cross two thousand years ago. And

then he rose again. Because all that we have done

wrong in our lives, that wrong he needs to be

dealt with. Justice needs to be done. But God loves

us so much that he didn't allow the hammer of

justice to fall on us. By he fell on his son.

His son took the death penalty for us, and he

rose again, proving that he is not just mere man.

Because only God can overcome the grave. And what are

we to do when we're faced with the fact that

there's a God who loves us gave his life for us,

came back for us. Well, nothing except to commit our

lives to him. God is a relation on God, and

every relationship works because it's committed relationship. So would you

commit your life to following Jesus and allowing him to

change you bit by bid, day by day, week by week,

and change him until you become more and more and

more like the child of God that you've always meant

to be. So, friends, if that's you, today you'll like

to accept Jesus Christ to your law and savior. Or

today you'll like to come home, you know, because we're

running our time. I want to just ma me invite

you to pray together with us.

It is okay.

I'm going to have activ fash up this sample prayer

on the screen and we're gonna pray. And Bible says

that if you believe and confess with your mouth that

Jesus Christ is Lord, you will be safe. So this

is an invitation to put your faith in Jesus by

inviting him into your life.

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

information on our church, please visit as Church Org. We

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

this week is going to be.

A good week. I hit for you.

God bless
