  32. is the continuation from two weeks ago where the two

  33. disciples were on their way on the road to a

  34. mis Okay, and they came back on the road to

  35. as and they came back Okay. So now continuation of

  36. that story where the two disciples were so excited they

  37. were telling the disciples in Jerusalem about Hey, I met Jesus,

  38. I met Jesus, I met Jesus. Right, They're so excited

  39. their faces were glooming. They're like glowings or glooming glowing. Okay,

  40. And we shall read from verse thirty six from the

  42. do you know how to switch to the Bible? Yeah?

  43. Okay, right, if you can switch to the scriptures will be.

  44. Good because yeah, for those of us who have your Bible,

  45. you can turn to Luke chapter twenty four vers.

  46. Thirty six.

  47. If you're there, say yay, so fast, very good, very good.

  48. Yeah Luke chapter.

  49. Twenty four, verse thirty six. Okay, okay, okay, I shall

  50. read first.

  51. Ah.

  52. Luke Chapter twenty four, Verse thirty six says, now as

  53. they say these things, okay, so know that the two

  54. disciples are so excited. So imagine they are so excited

  55. they are sharing these things to the disciples.

  56. Okay, then come verse thirty six.

  57. Now as they say these things, Jesus himself stood in

  58. the midst of them and said to them, peace to you.

  59. But they were terrified and frightened, and supposed they had

  60. seen a spirit. And he said to them, why are

  61. you troubled? And why do you doubts? Why do doubts

  62. arise in your hearts? Yes, okay, right, I love Jesus

  63. so much. I love love Jesus, I love the Lord Jesus.

  64. He is so so amazing. In the midst of their

  65. trouble minds, they were so afraid of the Jews. But yeah,

  66. there's these two disciples were so excited and Jesus suddenly appear.

  67. And you know, and the first word that Jesus said

  68. to them was peace to you, right, Peace to you. Right.

  69. The disciples were actually afraid of the Jews. So because

  70. they were in Jerusalem, right, the Jews were actually very

  71. afraid of the Jews. And they were gathering together in

  72. a room. Okay, in Jerusalem.

  73. The disciples, hearts were trouble and doubtful. Okay.

  74. Then suddenly Jesus appeared, like suddenly, suddenly somebody appeared without

  75. any noise.

  76. Right, you'll be like, oh, what's that? Like a ghost?

  77. Right? But hey, you know, Jesus said to you, it's amazing.

  78. You know.

  79. Despite the disciples, the disciples had actually actually deserted Jesus

  80. in his suffering, Peter denied him, and Jesus he appeared

  81. before them without quarreling, without reprimmmanding. Imagine, right, if my

  82. children did something wrong and silently I appear before them,

  83. they will be trembling because mommy or Daddy would be reprimanding.

  84. But hey, Jesus didn't do that. Hey, Jesus came to

  85. bring peace. He didn't dealt with his disciples or what

  86. they deserve. Thank you, Jesus for your mercy. Wow, this

  87. is the God. This is the same God we are

  88. serving and worshiping. Here is a mercyful god. He is

  89. so I don't know. He's amazing, right, he is the

  90. Prince of peace. He came and he said peace to you.

  91. He came peaceably to signify to them that he had

  92. forgiven them and was reconciled to them.

  93. Wow.

  94. Why why he didn't Why Jesus didn't like discipline, But

  95. Jesus brought peace instead because he knows their hearts. He

  96. knows their hearts, that their hearts were troubled and doubtful.

  97. But hey, I just felt that. You know, the Holy

  98. Spirit wants me to declare peace to you. If you're

  99. going through a tough situation. Right now, Peace to you.

  100. The Lord Jesus Christ declares peace to you, Charlom. He

  101. is the Prince of peace and the Lord of lords.

  102. Peace to you, a man. All right, let's continue on,

  103. Luke Chapter twenty four, US thirty nine. Right, behold my hands,

  104. Jesus is saying this. Behold my hands. Okay, behold my

  105. hands and my feet. That it is I myself, Jesus says,

  106. handle me and see for a spirit does not have

  107. flesh and bones, as you see.

  108. I have Verse forty.

  109. When Jesus had said this, he showed them his hands

  110. and his feet. Right. Wow, okay, so Jesus is revealing

  111. his physical body.

  112. Right, I'm not a ghost. You come and touch. Come,

  113. come touch, touch It's okay, Come touch my hands. I'm

  114. I'm yeah. Come and see. Right.

  115. And he showed his physical and resurrected body with the

  116. wounds on it. And you know what, Jesus is not

  117. a shame of his wounds. He is not a cow.

  118. He's displaying it this playing for everybody. See, come and

  119. see my wounds, Come and see my hands. He wasn't

  120. ashamed of his wounds. It is remarkable to consider that

  121. the resurrection body of Jesus retains the wounds he received

  122. in his sufferings and crucifixion. There are many possible reasons

  123. why Jesus want to reveal his wounds to all of us,

  124. to the world.

  125. In fact, number one is to exhibit the war.

  126. Is to exhibit the wounds to the disciples, that they

  127. would know that it was the very same Jesus who

  128. died on the cross and now resurrected.

  129. Imagine his wounds was covered.

  130. How do I what approves that this is the same

  131. Jesus that died on the cross. Right, So he's saying,

  132. I am the same Jesus that died on the cross,

  133. and I am now resurrected.

  134. This is not a different body. It is the same body.

  135. Okay, it's showing to his disciples, I am the same person.

  136. Right. Secondly, he shows his wounds to be.

  137. Ornaments of honor and trophies of his great work for us. Amen, hallelujah. Right,

  138. you can see that trophy there. His wounds are like

  139. trophies ornaments. Okay, Below the trophy, it's a bit hard

  140. to see. They are the how do you say honorable badges?

  141. Okay on the soldier. I remember last time I was

  142. a girl guy. You know any one of us were

  143. girl guys scouts, Yeah, if you remember, right, we were like, yeah,

  144. doing different different tests to gain our badges, Like yeah,

  145. we have to do many log books I remember, like portfolios,

  146. and if you're a queen guy, then you have like

  147. do you have to do like so many others and

  148. also do many practical tests as well, like you know,

  149. tine knobs and first aid and yeah, different things okay, right,

  150. as you remember, and every time we finish a test,

  151. we get a badge that we can stick it on

  152. our uniform and we are so proud of them.

  153. The queen guys will have a fashion of badgers, right

  154. and pins and.

  155. War you know, display, sorry, display for everyone to see.

  156. Right.

  157. Similarly, Jesus's wounds are his honorable ornaments, right, and also

  158. his wounds are there to memmoralize the weapon.

  159. With which he defeated death.

  160. So his wounds is so important to remind us that

  161. he has actually conquered since Satan and death.

  162. Right, his wounds serve.

  163. As advocates in his perpetual intercession for us. His wounds

  164. are there to remind even all of us that God

  165. the Father sees his wounds and he remembers the sacrifice

  166. that covers the sin of all of us. Amazing, right,

  167. his wounds is so important, and his wounds is there

  168. to preserve the evidence of humanity's crime against him.

  169. Wow, Wow, his wounds.

  170. Is there to preserve the evidence of humanity's crime against him.

  171. He don't take his wounds and say it's because of

  172. this I have to punish.

  173. You and everybody goes to hell.

  174. No, his wounds is there to show that, yes, humans

  175. had had a crime on him, but he chose to

  176. forgive so powerful. This is a powerful message for all

  177. of us to be reminded again. And if you are here,

  178. sitting amongst us here and you're listening to this, about

  179. who this lord Jesus Christ.

  180. Is, he loves you. He loves you.

  181. With all of his heart. He laid down his life

  182. for you and me. And he is saying that, hey,

  183. I have forgiven you right and I love you very much.

  184. His wounds are there. Okay, it's very important. Okay, let's

  185. continue on Luke chapter twenty four, verse forty one. But

  186. while they still did not believe, for joy and marvel,

  187. he said to them, have you any food here? You know,

  188. this verse really got me thinking that the disciples were

  189. so happy. The disciples were so happy that this is Jesus,

  190. the real Jesus, that that on the cross, and now

  191. it's appearing before us and he invites us to touch

  192. his hands.

  193. Right.

  194. The disciples was so happy and so surprised that they

  195. couldn't believe it was real. Have you ever hear news

  196. of something so too good to be true?

  197. Yes? Yes, yes, too good to be true like super sail,

  198. too good to be true? Okay, like wow.

  199. You know, or suddenly something something happened, or yeah, your

  200. children suddenly became the class monitor. My son, my husband

  201. didn't believe it, like, have to go ahead, chat with

  202. the teacher, I really.

  203. Know, Are you sure too good to be true? Right?

  204. And he yes? So that's another story for another day.

  205. Right.

  206. So, so the disciples was so happy, so surprised that

  207. they couldn't believe it was real. And sometimes we feel

  208. that way too, Right, something seems too good to be true.

  209. But God wants us to really think and understand why.

  210. We believe, so not just believe without thinking.

  211. Right, Jesus wanted all of us as disciples, right to

  212. stop to think and to truly believe in our hearts. Right,

  213. it's not wrong to ah, it's not wrong to believe

  214. without seeing. Even Jesus says that blessed are those who

  215. believe without seeing. Right, but not about realizing it in

  216. our hearts and also our minds, like it has to connect.

  217. Right.

  218. Then a great joy like a tide swept over them,

  219. and they could not believe it. They were so glad.

  220. Do not forget that joy can hinder faith, Okay, joy

  221. can hinder faith. This is I don't know new to

  222. some of us. Rather, it's it's it's it's it's to

  223. me as well. Joy can hinder faith, right, we celebrate

  224. joy so much, yes, but hey, some good to be

  225. true sometimes can hinder us from believing. Right, Be careful,

  226. be careful. Joy can hinder faith. It may be as

  227. great as an enemy to faith as sorrow sometimes is okay.

  228. So yeah, let's just believe. I love how Adel sang

  229. the song. Just now, just believe, right, no matter how

  230. happy you are, no matter how sad you are, just believe.

  231. And thank you Casey for that very amazing testimony that

  232. shows that.

  233. Yeah, she just believed anyway and moved on. Very good.

  234. Yes, okay, let's continue verse forty two of Luke, chapter

  235. twenty four. So so they gave him a piece of

  236. broiled fish and some honeycomb, and he took it and

  237. ate it in their presence.

  238. Wow, Jesus, And we all know this, Jesus.

  239. He loves to Maccan. I think his Malaysian too, you

  240. know as well, right, we love the Marcan and come

  241. give me something to eat. Right, he's asking them for

  242. broil fish and honeycomb. So specific, No, no like bread

  243. or what like fish and honeycomb. So he took it

  244. and ate it in their presence. Right, this would be

  245. another powerful evidence that this was the same Jesus doing

  246. something with the disciples that he did many times before

  247. macaning doing something really really familiar with the disciples.

  248. Right.

  249. Okay, let's continue on verse forty four. Luke, chapter twenty four. Okay,

  250. verse forty four. Then Jesus said to the disciples, these

  251. are the words which I spoke to you while I

  252. was still with you, that all things.

  253. Must be fulfilled within.

  254. Field which were written in the Law of Moses and

  255. the prophets and the Psalms concerning me. And he opened

  256. their understanding that they might comprehend the scriptures. I love

  257. how Jesus do this with his disciples. Right, we are

  258. all following Jesus, So disciples first, How Jesus disciple his disciples? Right?

  259. He always turned.

  260. His disciples back to the scriptures, always come back to

  261. the Word of God. Because with clarity comes confidence, and

  262. with confidence comes courage. The disciples need to be reminded

  263. of what the Word of God is saying, aligning them

  264. again to what God has for them and what the

  265. scriptures is saying about the Lord Jesus Christ. Okay, let's

  266. continue on verse forty six. Then he said to them,

  267. thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for

  268. the Christ to suffer and to rise from the day

  269. the third day, and that repentance and remission of sins

  270. should be preached in his name to all nations, beginning

  271. at Jerusalem. And you are witnesses of these things, amen, Right.

  272. So Jesus wanted the disciples to understand that the cross

  273. was not some unfortunate obstacle that had to be hurdled. Okay,

  274. it was a necessary part of God's redemnitive plan for men,

  275. and that it would be in the name of a

  276. crucified and reason savior that repentance and remission of sins

  277. will be brought to the world.

  278. Wow.

  279. Wow, Okay, So that's why it's just mind boggling the

  280. disciples about this whole thing. That's why Jesus have to

  281. bring them back to scriptures again.

  282. And Jesus told the disciples.

  283. Okay, yeah, the three points that Jesus told the disciples, Yes,

  284. these three points what to preach. Jesus shared with the

  285. disciples that they need to preach repentance and remissions of sins,

  286. which means there is forgiveness in sins for all who repent.

  287. Right.

  288. So this is something that what Jesus wants the disciples

  289. to do, Okay, What to do to preach and what

  290. to preach There is forgiveness of sins for all who repent,

  291. and where to preach it to all nations and where

  292. to start at Jerusalem, so specific, okay, and how to

  293. preach it. Preach it in the authority of the name

  294. of Jesus, in his name. As witnesses, when someone who

  295. is witness sing has a lot of passion one right

  296. because the person has already witnessed it. No one else has,

  297. but that person has right with passion as witnesses. Witnesses

  298. has passion because they have witnessed it. Right, right, Okay,

  299. Let's continue on Luke Chapter twenty four, US forty nine. Behold,

  300. I send the promise of my Father upon you, but

  301. terry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued

  302. with power from on high. Right, So they could Okay,

  303. So this is a very good reminder that you know,

  304. the disciples could not do the work what Jesus had

  305. called them to do unless they were endured with power

  306. from on high, and that power would come.

  307. As the Holy Spirit was poured upon them. Okay.

  308. It is a work where we need to collaborate with

  309. the Almighty.

  310. We cannot do this on our own. Okay. So okay,

  311. you can go to the next slide. Is that slide? Okay? Right?

  312. Okay, So coming to Matthew chapter twenty five, verse fourteen

  313. to thirty. If you can flip it to your Bibles

  314. you can otherwise Okay, sorry, sorry, this is not this

  315. is not this is okay. Okay, yeah, no, sorry, that

  316. picture is correct. That picture is correct. Sorry, Okay, So

  317. that picture is after okay, after many many things happen

  318. after that, okay. So Jesus was already speaking to them

  319. at the table, right, and then Jesus shared with the

  320. disciples that you need to go, you need to continue

  321. to stay in Jerusalem, right.

  322. So that the Holy Spirit can come upon you.

  323. You receive power, and you can go and go forth

  324. to be my witness, right.

  325. Right.

  326. And then Jesus ascended to heaven. Jesus ascended to heaven already,

  327. and then they continue to tarry in Jerusalem. Holy Spirit

  328. came upon them that was when Pentecosts time came right,

  329. and they were empowered by the Holy Spirit. And then

  330. this is now in the Book of ex right, and

  331. the author of the Book of X is also look

  332. amazingly okay, and then yes, power on high. They had

  333. received power, and they all went forth. They spoke powerfully

  334. with authority. They did all that Jesus did. And this

  335. is one of them. Peter and John was there also

  336. preaching what Jesus called them.

  337. To do, to preach, to preach, to preach.

  338. The forgiveness of scenes and for all who repent. Right

  339. at the same time healed people, healed sick people all around.

  340. Right.

  341. So this picture speaks about Peter and John, disciples of

  342. the Lord Jesus Christ, witnesses of Jesus himself, going out

  343. to do the assignment, to do the assignment, and he

  344. healed the beggar, right, And it was at this time

  345. that yeah, this beggar, yeah, went to the priests, and

  346. then the priest was Perskit thing also Peter and Paul.

  347. But Peter and Paul went back to the disciples to

  348. share about all that had happened. You all this you

  349. can read from the Book of X chapter one until

  350. x chapter four Okay, right, okay, So this is an

  351. amazing account where the disciples not only did the assignment,

  352. but they also accounted back to the the disciples, the

  353. group of people that were given the assignment. Okay, so

  354. next like if you have it, yeah here X chapter

  355. four Wars twenty three. It is also said that, and

  356. being let go by from the priests Peter and John, okay,

  357. they went to their own companions back with the disciples

  358. and reported all that the chief priests had done. I

  359. think yes, all the chief priests and elders had said

  360. to them. Okay, So everything that they had done and

  361. also what the chief priest and elders said to them, right,

  362. they reported back to them. So I want to bring

  363. us to this kingdom. I believe it's a kingdom principle. Okay,

  364. next nighte.

  365. Okay.

  366. So this kingdom principle of alignment, assignment and accountability can

  367. also be seen in the Book of Matthew chapter twenty five,

  368. verse fourteen to thirty. Okay, all right, okay, So I'll

  369. just summarize for the sake of our time, but you

  370. can go home and read it, okay. Children, You can

  371. also go back and ask Mammy and Daddy to read

  372. you this portion of scripture. It's a very important scripture

  373. where it talks about alignment, assignment and accountability. Okay, to

  374. summarize it, you can see on the slides the three

  375. pictures okay, back there, right, Yeah, So there was a

  376. master who gave out talents to three of his servants, right,

  377. one servant, he gave five talents. You can see the

  378. tree palms hand there, right, children, right, five talents, two

  379. talents and one talent.

  380. Right.

  381. And the master went away for a period of time,

  382. and the master told three of his servants to do business.

  383. Was a very clear instruction, do business with this talents.

  384. Okay.

  385. When the master came back, the servants need to report

  386. back what they have done with their talents. And yeah,

  387. you will read from the scripture what happened.

  388. Okay.

  389. So it is a very important kingdom principle that we

  390. have here. Okay, next life, So to summarize. Wow, so fast,

  391. we are summarizing.

  392. Ready to summarize today's message.

  393. God is good. Right Okay, if you can see this,

  394. our help to read for us. Okay, So we are

  395. talking about alignment, assignment and accountability from the Book of

  396. Luke and the Book of Matthew.

  397. Very clearly God is wanting the.

  398. Whole church and even you can apply it to your

  399. personal life as well. Later I'll share you some stories, okay, Alignment,

  400. assignment and accountability from the Book of Luke, chapter twenty four,

  401. The Lord Jesus Christ came to bring peace to his disciples,

  402. troubled and doubtful hearts.

  403. The Lord Jesus Christ.

  404. Was trying to align his desire because they were all

  405. over the place right, bringing back their faith, strengthening their

  406. faith by revealing himself and the scriptures.

  407. This is a very good kingdom principle as well.

  408. Whenever you feel lost, whenever you feel like you asked,

  409. don't know what to do, there's no you feel like

  410. there's no leading, you don't see it seem to have

  411. any form of direction. This is what we have sung. Also,

  412. just now, thank you Ariel for singing that song guiding

  413. Light right. The Lord Jesus Christ is our guiding light right.

  414. He is the Word made flesh. He is so if

  415. you ever feel lost, go back to Jesus, go back

  416. to his word right and see what he has have

  417. to say. Come to church, because this is the bride

  418. of Christ. Come to the church where we have homes

  419. also together the gathering of believers. Pray your service happening

  420. this Tuesday, Come and join us. And even if you're

  421. not lost, even if you know where you're going, but

  422. he come anyway, you never know.

  423. You're sharing.

  424. Even you praying could be an encouragement to someone who

  425. needs it. Right, we are here to encourage one another.

  426. So that's the alignment part, right. And even in book

  427. in the Book of Luke chapter twenty four, you know

  428. the assignment part where Jesus clearly gives what the disciples

  429. need to do, what to preach, where to preach, and

  430. how to preach right. And it is not without the

  431. help of the Holy Spirit, because Jesus himself know just

  432. by men doing it is not possible.

  433. So the Holy Spirit needs to come in.

  434. Right. And the last part, yes, as I was saying

  435. Luke chapter twenty four, but beyond Luke chapter twenty four,

  436. in the Book of X, from X chapter one to

  437. X chapter four, you can continue to read that the

  438. disciples were regularly meeting together and accounting back.

  439. Okay.

  440. So, and also in the Book of Matthew chapter twenty five, right,

  441. we can see that as well with the master. Master,

  442. the Master gave talents accordingly and asks very clear instructions

  443. to invest, to do, and to engage in business until

  444. I come.

  445. Right.

  446. So, and the Master gave the talents accordingly. Right, the

  447. I really truly believe that God gives us our abilities

  448. based on what we can do. He won't give us

  449. something that we cannot do or is beyond us. He

  450. is merciful. Our God is so merciful. He will only

  451. give us something that we can handle. If we can

  452. handle five talents, he will give us five talents. If

  453. we can only handle two talents, we will.

  454. He will give us two talents. If we can handle

  455. only one.

  456. Talent, let's be faithful with that one as well. Right,

  457. and very more important is the accountability part. Like the servants,

  458. we all need to account back for the assignment given.

  459. The Master expects his servants to be profitable servants.

  460. Right. God is expecting a return of investment. And our

  461. old eye God is expecting and our old eye of

  462. the blessings and talents that He's given us so that

  463. him be glorified. Okay, so all of us, okay, believers

  464. or pre believers, all of us willill stand before God

  465. one day, and we want to hear him say my

  466. good and faithful servant and not otherwise.

  467. Okay, all right.

  468. So thank God we are all here. Thank God that

  469. we are here hearing a message in advance before we

  470. meet the Lord. So we have Yeah, we.

  471. God is gracious to us. Here is merciful. Okay.

  472. So I have a slight that summarizes clearly as well.

  473. Next light, right, okay, okay, next light okay, So I'll

  474. just share this, Okay, this is a okay, how I

  475. apply how I applied alignment, assignment and accountability. So recently

  476. we had our dar Shall inflicts Yeah.

  477. And we concluded it.

  478. Yeah, so I had I was in this netball tournament okay, right,

  479. and I also hear that a lot of my homies

  480. on netball players too.

  481. I was like so excited. Okay. Anyway, so alignment, assignment

  482. and accountability.

  483. So the tournament happened, Meet meets I think mid October

  484. mid October okay, and then yeah, so I had some

  485. pictures of me in action. But yeah, so to cut

  486. a long story shot, I had a lot of mistakes, okay,

  487. And yeah, as a team, we all did well generally.

  488. And also, yeah, we also have strength and witnesses. And

  489. also I had a lot of mistakes done.

  490. But it's okay. But we actually had a coach.

  491. Okay, we had an external coach who came to coach us.

  492. Uh yeah, and of course we have to pay a

  493. certain amount, but it's okay. It's a good thing because

  494. we learned to do the right thing right. We don't

  495. simply play as how we want to play right. So

  496. there is a form of alignment as well.

  497. Okay.

  498. There is a form of alignment where every time okay,

  499. so this is tournament day.

  500. Common tournament day, we actually have timeouts, right, and then.

  501. We have we have timeouts, and then the coach will

  502. come and tell us, okay, what did you do right?

  503. What you do wrong? Right?

  504. That alignment is very important. So that was alignment, okay.

  505. And then the assignment was when the coach tells us

  506. to go out there again to do what is right.

  507. Okay.

  508. So we did the assignment and then we came back

  509. again and we accountback on what happened. Okay, Okay, why

  510. did we make the mistake? We have to account back

  511. how can we correct it? So this alignment, assignment and

  512. accountability is also very important.

  513. So praise God.

  514. To sum it all up, we all got third place,

  515. and not all of us were there present at the

  516. medal receiving ceremony. But yeah, it was just fun, strengthened

  517. and just being reminded again about this tree principle of alignment,

  518. assignment and accountability.

  519. Thank you, right, So it was really good and then right, okay,

  520. And also.

  521. I would like to share a very practical practical example

  522. of this tree ace alignment, assignment and accountability. Okay, Every Sunday, Okay,

  523. every Sunday, my kids and I and also my husband

  524. together we come to church.

  525. We always have this alignment, assignment and accountability number one.

  526. So alignment is we will tell the kids, remember today

  527. is Sunday.

  528. We align them.

  529. To what to do, how to behave Okay, lend them

  530. why we need to go to church and who are

  531. we supposed to the reason of why we come to church,

  532. right to worship God and this is God's house, right.

  533. I always I don't know, it's not very good, but

  534. I always reminded them of the story of how Jesus

  535. was very angry when he saw all the traders in

  536. the House of God, trading doing things that they were

  537. not supposed to do, and Jesus came with a whip,

  538. So I was so shat with them. You don't want

  539. to have Jesus coming with to chase you out for

  540. doing something that you are not supposed to do.

  541. In the church.

  542. Right, as children, we are here to worship God. Okay,

  543. as doubts as well, we are here to worship God.

  544. Right to meet the King of Kings and Lord of lords.

  545. We dressed our best. We come early or on time?

  546. Crime early?

  547. It's good, yeah, so that you can come on time.

  548. If you come on time, you may be late. So

  549. come early, right, So come early? All right? So we

  550. want to meet King of Kings. Okay, all right?

  551. And then the assignment. Yeah, so that's the assignment sending

  552. them forth. Okay, so behave well and all that.

  553. And then after church we.

  554. Have an accountability session, so we will ask okay, so

  555. what happened that we hear different ones telling us about

  556. our children?

  557. Okay, we hear this, Anti say this? Didcher say that? Okay?

  558. What happens? Or we have accountability?

  559. So actually parenting also applying this tree principle is actually

  560. very good.

  561. So and we see results of this.

  562. So every Sunday we will repeat alignment, assignment and accountability. Right,

  563. and also at workplace, so this is also always behind

  564. my mind alignment, assignment and accountability. So just and also

  565. discipleship relationship can also have this tree is alignment, assignment

  566. accountability where we can always align ourselves to our with

  567. our leaders.

  568. Our leaders will speak to us about what the church.

  569. Is going forward or what is it that God has

  570. spoken to the leader towards us as disciples as well? Right?

  571. And also the assignment what am I supposed to do today?

  572. Is it to you know, disciples? Someone else?

  573. Is it to be involved in the church, like to

  574. be participating to serve? Right, Let's take up that assignment

  575. with the help of the Holy Spirit, because we know

  576. we cannot do.

  577. This on our own.

  578. And then after that account back, account back to our

  579. leader who has given us that assignment.

  580. This is really really good.

  581. Okay, next night, So this is the summary where we

  582. have these three a's. Can we repeat after me again? Alignment, assignment, accountability. Okay,

  583. So alignment is the one where we come back to Jesus,

  584. we come back to the who, we come back to

  585. why to seek to understand behind the assignment? Okay, So,

  586. as I was saying just now, in the month of

  587. December to January, we will have a time of unpacking

  588. the vision and the mission of the church. That this

  589. will be the time of aligning the entire church together. Right,

  590. So we hope that all of us can be around

  591. to hear the unpacking of the vision and mission.

  592. If not, then do catch up with the recording as well.

  593. Right, And we pray that all of us will understand

  594. the reason behind the unpacking, so that from February onwards

  595. to the end of the year, we can go forth

  596. to do our assignment.

  597. Relying on the Holy Spirit's power. Right, and stay faithful

  598. and focus on the world where and how? Okay? And

  599. then and let's.

  600. Continue to have to be accountable back to our leaders

  601. with short accounts life, So keep short accounts of account

  602. to account on what had happened. Keep short accounts, meaning

  603. to say, if our leaders has given us an assignment today,

  604. right today, nine of November, let's keep the shortest account possible.

  605. If tomorrow you can give some updates to your leader,

  606. let's do it. Don't have to wait until next year

  607. November nine to give it out there. That would be

  608. too long an essay, right, Okay, let's let's keep short accounts, okay, right.

  609. So yeah, so this, this is something that I want

  610. to share with us, and I really believe that God

  611. wants to liberate some of us even through this Kingdom

  612. principle of alignment, assignment and accountability. And in fact it

  613. is truly God's direction. I believe it's God's direction for

  614. the church moving forward as well.

  615. Amen.

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