Roughly a rough guess thirty yes, yes, about thirty three

who are not from ex church is okay. The Word
-
of God has been speaking to all of us individually
-
as well. We've been listening. We've been listening. But if

-
messages that have been heard so far? Like even for earth,
-
brothers and sisters, God has been speaking a certain word
-
in your life? How has it been? How has it been?
-
How for us? How are our conversations like with our family,

our neighbors, our colleagues, classmates, housemates, roommates, cleanness, security guards

-
then our you know, the doctors, nurses, Yeah, wherever we are,

with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as
-
found in Haypacook two fourteen. Remember we want to see

-
the glory of the Lord as the waters covers the sea.
-
Right right, this is a question or a hard question
-
for word, question, verysm for how has it been? Right?
-
And I'm also reminded that God will hold us all
-
accountable with his word that we have heard, right, thirty
-
three messages. Wow, that's a lot for a year. But
-
what how have we how has it been for us? Right?
-
But take heart, church, writers and sisters, even though this
-
is the thirty fourth message that we are hearing from
-
the beginning of March to today. Take heart, right, let's
-
hear the encouragement of the Word of God for us today.
-
First Chronicles, chapter twenty eight. Okay, okay, good, we're doing
-
good with time. Let's go. If you have your Bibles,
-
you may turn to it. First Chronicles, chapter twenty eight,
-
verse one to thirteen. Sorry, will our walk us through
-
this entire chapter of First Chronicles, chapter twenty eight, right,
-
And this portion of scripture is the time. It's a
-
document of a time where King David is yeah, in
-
declaring to the people the nation that he will be
-
passing on the baton of building the Temple of God
-
to his son Solomon. Okay, let's read right now, verse
-
from verse one. Now, David assembled at Jerusalem all the
-
all the leaders of Israel, the officers of the tribes,
-
and the captains of the divisions who served the king,
-
the captains over thousands, and captains of one hundreds, and
-
the stewards over all substance and possessions of the King
-
and of his sons, with the officials, the valiant men,
-
and all the mighty men of valor. So he's gathering
-
all the leaders and all the warriors, his warriors, his
-
mighty men, and he wanted to give a speech right
-
to Then King David rose to his feet and said,
-
hear me, my brethren and my people. I had it
-
in my heart to build a house of rest for
-
the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and for
-
the footstool of our God, and had made preparations to
-
build it. But God said to me, you shall not
-
build a house for my name, because you have been
-
a man of war and have shed blood. You know,
-
when I read this part, I've been i edit, itting
-
on this chapter for many days, and when I come
-
to this point, I'm also reminded that, hey, many of
-
us are so passionate for the Lord because God has
-
been so so good to us. Like King David, right.
-
We really want to do everything for the Lord.
-
You know, we sung You're just not right.
-
Lord, I give you my own you are my everything.
-
I want to do everything, you.
-
Know, we're so passionate, like King David like that. I
-
want to do everything. But you know, God said that
-
he cannot build the King the temple. You know so much,
-
you know, you know, see the passion of King David
-
wanting to do this for the Lord, his God, the
-
lover of his soul. But God says no. Wow, And
-
see how King David respond. You know when someone says
-
no to you and somebody rejects you, right like King David,
-
like God rejected him, you know, cannot heartbroken and it's like, oh,
-
but see how King David respond. I love how his
-
response is really good? Okay, So so verse four. However,
-
the Lord God of Israel chose me above all the
-
house of my father, to be king over Israel forever.
-
For he has chosen Judah to be the ruler, and
-
the house of Judah the house of my father, and
-
among the sons of my father. He was pleased with
-
me to make me king over all Israel ver was
-
five and of all my sons, for the Lord has
-
given me many sons. He has chosen my son Solomon
-
to sit on the throne of the kingdom of the
-
Lord over Israel. Verse six. Now he said to me,
-
it is your son Solomon who shall build my house
-
and my gods. For I have chosen him to be
-
my son, and I will be his father. Verse seven. Moreover,
-
I will establish his kingdom forever. If he is steadfast
-
to observe my commandments and my judgments as it is
-
this day's it now therefore in the sight, So this
-
is King David telling everyone his people right Verse eight,
-
He's continuing his speach. He says, now, therefore, in the
-
sight of all Israel, the assembly of the Lord, and
-
in the hearing of our God, be careful to seek
-
out all the commandments of the Lord, your God, that
-
you may possess this good land and leave it as
-
an inheritance for your children after you forever. Okay. So
-
he is charging the people of Israel to obey God. Okay,
-
obey his commandments, so that there's a promise that we
-
that they will possess this good land and live inheritance
-
to their children. Okay. Continue Verse nine. As for you,
-
my son Solomon, know the God of your father, and
-
serve him with a loyal heart and with a willing mind.
-
For the Lord searches all hearts and understands all the
-
intent of the thoughts. If you seek him, he will
-
be found by you. But if you forsake him, he
-
will cast you off forever. Verse ten. Consider now, for
-
the Lord has chosen you to build a house for
-
the sanctuary. Be strong and do it the Nike get
-
it from this verse do it. Just do it right.
-
So now you know it's from the word of God,
-
not Nike. Okay, just do it right. You can even
-
highlight if you see, you can highlight it. Now, God says,
-
just do it. Be strong and do it. Then Verse
-
eleven says, Verse eleven says, yes. Then David gave his
-
son Solomon the plans for the vestibule, its houses, its treasuries,
-
its upper chambers, it's inner chambers, and the place of
-
mercy sid verse twelve, right, and the plans for all
-
that he had by the spirit of the courts of
-
the House of the Lord, of all the chambers all around,
-
of the treasuries of the House of God, and the
-
treasuries of the dedicated things right and verse thirteen. Also
-
for the divisions of the priests and of the levites,
-
for all the work of the service of the House
-
of the Lord, and for all the articles of the
-
service in the House of the Lord. Very detailed stuff. Okay,
-
I'll just pause here for a moment. And you know
-
the plans that God had that King David had in
-
his heart to build for God. Right, everything is detailed
-
out for his son to do it right, because he
-
he wants to give God his best, but he can't
-
do it. His son needs to do it. So he
-
has to make sure that his sons get it right.
-
So very detail, you make sure you do everything here. Okay,
-
that's what in other words in Malaysian or today's language. Okay,
-
we're trying to say, right, and let me just summarize
-
from verse fourteen to eighteen. So verse fourteen to eighteen
-
continue to speak of David's generosity in providing gold and
-
silver for all articles used in every kind of service
-
of the temple, lamp stands and their lambs, tables of
-
the show, Breid Fox, Basin's pictures, bowls, alter incense, construction
-
of the chariot, that is, the gold cherubim that spread
-
their wings and overshadow the art of the covenor of
-
the Lord. So it's very generous. King David really gave
-
his best, you know, he's all. He gave everything that
-
he can do as a king. Yeah, gold, silver, everything
-
covered right, everything right as you can go back and
-
also read that. Okay, we continued from verse nineteen. All
-
this said, David, the Lord made me understand in the
-
writing by his hand upon me all the works of
-
these plans. Verse twenty and David said to his son Solomon,
-
be strong second time. Already he's telling his son, be
-
strong and of good courage, and do it second time.
-
So highlight that not Nike said, but David said to
-
King Solomon, do it right, be strong and encourages and
-
do it. Do not fear nor be dismayed. For the
-
Lord God, my God will be with you. He will
-
not leave you nor forsake you until you have finished
-
all the work for the service of the House of
-
the Lord. Sounds familiar. Right, God will be with you
-
until the end of the age, until you finish the work. Right,
-
sounds familiar, right right. Verse twenty one continue says, here
-
are the divisions of the priests and the levites for
-
all the service of the House of God. And every
-
willing craftsman will be with you, hey, even craftsmen. Materials
-
will be there. Craftsmen are ready for you to do
-
the work. Everything is in place. In other words, Verse
-
twenty one is trying to say, right, every willing craftsman
-
will be with you for all manner of workmanship, for
-
every kind of service. Also the leaders and all the
-
people will be completely at your commade. Ha ha, imagine
-
if you're at King Solomon's position. So this message is
-
really putting ourselves in that position of King Solomon. Right,
-
King David is like our forefathers, our forefathers of the
-
faith has already. You know, we have been hearing messages
-
after messages. We have been hearing testimonies after testimonies of
-
how great God is, the God who made the universe,
-
that the God that split the raid sea, that turned
-
water into wine, the God that loves us so much
-
he laid down his life for us, went to the
-
grasd Hey, we all know this story read right, and
-
it is all at our dispense, right, you know, this
-
is what we are in that position of Solomon. Yeah,
-
let's be reminded today we are in that position of Solomon, right,
-
and we have everything in our dispense, materials and even crowdsmen,
-
willing crowdsmen and leaders at our command. You know, I
-
tell you if you do not know you are a
-
child of God today, how powerful, how powerful you you
-
are to speak for the word of God and things happen.
-
You know today, Let's be reminded we are His child,
-
and we can take charge of our challenges, our sicknesses,
-
the challenges in our families or in our workplaces. I'm
-
even speaking to myself. I have a challenge at my
-
workplace right now, and I was still texting with my
-
colleague just now. But yes, you know, I'm also speaking
-
it into being victory and you know, just overcoming the
-
challenges that we are going through. Hey, we are a
-
child of God. Tell our neighbor, I'm a child of God.
-
Tell the other neighbor, I am a child of God. Yes,
-
all right, very important. Okay, so just a highlight for today.
-
The main scripture that we want to focus on us today,
-
focus on today is First Chronicles, chapter twenty eight, verse
-
nine to ten. Right today we will focus on this part,
-
just gleaning on the very important words that what King David,
-
or rather our forefathers in the faith is trying to
-
tell us today, even as we are journeying on as
-
a child of God and also a soldier of the
-
Lord our God. Right verse nine, it says, as you
-
as for you, my son, know the God of your
-
father and serve him with loyal heart and with a
-
willing mind, right. For the Lord searches all hearts and
-
understands all the intent of the thoughts. If you seek him,
-
he will be found by you. And if you forsake him,
-
he will cast you off forever and verse tence is
-
considered now, for the Lord has chosen you. God has
-
chosen us. The Lord has chosen you to build a
-
house for his sanctuary. In this case is his kingdom
-
here in Cyberjaya. And wherever God has placed you, whether
-
is it in Taiping in India, in Melai, wherever you
-
are being placed in Putrajaya. God is telling us he
-
has chosen us to build his kingdom wherever he placed us.
-
And be strong and do it. Okay, very bold there
-
if it's not bold in your Bible, bolded yourself, builded,
-
be strong and.
-
Do it right.
-
It's two words, four wards or five words, right, but
-
it has it carries a lot of weight, right, okay, right.
-
So God has chosen King Solomon to build a house
-
a place of rest for the arc of the Covenant.
-
All this while the temple was in a tent right.
-
King David wanted to build God a temple, but God
-
would not allow David to do so, as he is
-
a man of war, and his son King Solomon to
-
build it. Right, it was a great project for King Solomon.
-
It took him how many years to build anyone knows
-
seven years. It took King Solomon built seven years to
-
complete the temple. Well, imagine seven years without technology to
-
build a magnificent temple for the Lord is really an accomplishment, right,
-
seven years. Hence, King David in this verse charged his
-
son on these important points in order that he could
-
accomplish what God had assigned him to do. So point
-
number one for us from God today, Know the God
-
of your Father. In I was read, I was studying
-
on this. Know the God of your Father. Another version
-
from I think amplified version Bible says, have personal knowledge
-
of him, be acquainted with and understand him, appreciate, heed,
-
listen to cherish him, or cherish him. Right, Know the
-
God of your Father, Know so well that it will
-
produce something right. A man know God right. In Jeremiah
-
chapter nine, verse twenty three to twenty four. You can
-
write this in your notes as well. The Word of
-
God says that says the Lord, let not the wise
-
man glory in his wisdom. Let not the mighty man
-
glory in his might. Nor let the rich man glory
-
in his riches. But let him who glories glory in
-
this that he understands and knows me that I am
-
the Lord exercising loving kindness, judgment and righteousness in the earth.
-
For in this idelight, says the Lord. Amen. So, if
-
you are looking for the God of the God of
-
the Church, this is the God of the Church. Right.
-
He is one, He is Lord. He's the one who
-
exercises loving kindness. He loves us, and he is a
-
just God. He exercises judgment, and he is a righteous God.
-
He exercises righteousness. Know that we can trust in him,
-
and we can put our trust in him, and we
-
can follow him. Right, Okay, So know the God of
-
our Father? And other Verse Daniel, Chapter eleven, verse thirty two,
-
a very famous one. Those who are those who do
-
wickedly against the covenant, he shall corrupt with flattery. But
-
the people who know their God shall be strong and
-
carry out great exploits very important Bible verse to also
-
remember now those who know their God? Do you know
-
your God? Do you know the God of your Father?
-
Do you know him? So so cherishedly? How you know him. Know,
-
it's such a limited English word. Do you cherish him?
-
Do you?
-
Are you acquainted with him? Are you heeding his voice? Right?
-
Do you appreciate him? Do you know him? Do you
-
know him? Right? Know the God? No, know your God,
-
and you shall be strong and carry out great exploits
-
for him. John Chapter seventeen, verse three. And this is
-
eternal life, Jesus say, is this is eternal life, that
-
they may know you the only true God and Jesus Christ,
-
whom you have sent. Wow. Amen, this is eternal life. Right.
-
If you are new here, you are listening to this
-
audio recording, and you are new to the Christian faith,
-
know that for God so loved the world, he sent
-
his one and only son, that whosoever believes in him
-
shall not perish, but have eternal life. And this is
-
the eternal life that may that they may know you,
-
that we may know God. Eternal life is about knowing
-
God and the only true God and Jesus Christ, whom
-
you have sent. Amen. So point one, know the God
-
of your father. Point two, serve him, obey him as
-
we already know him. Let's obey his way. Let's serve
-
him with a loyal heart and a willing mind with
-
our all as we have sung just now, without all
-
our all our hearts. Let's give God our best. Right,
-
Let's not drag our legs. Let's not be late for
-
what God has prepared for us. Right. If we really can't,
-
then let's be accountable to our leaders and just let
-
them know we are going to be late. Right, Let's
-
honor the servant of God's God as well. Right for
-
the Lord's all hearts. I'm just focusing on this verse
-
nine to ten of First Chronicles. Right, First Chronicles, Chapter
-
twenty eight, Verse nine to ten. Right, serve the Lord,
-
serve him and obey him with a lawyer heart and
-
a willing mind. For the Lord searches the heart and
-
understands all the intent of thoughts. God sees our hearts
-
even as we serve him, brothers and sisters. Right, he
-
sees our hearts. He knows though people may not understand
-
around us, but He sees our hearts. And so that's
-
why let's give out all. Because God searches our hearts.
-
The heart is referenced repetitively, repetedly, repeatedly, sorry, repeatedly. The
-
heart is referenced repeatedly, because our actions follow the leanings
-
of our hearts. Correct, our actions follow the leanings of
-
our hearts. Right. So in Matthew chapter six, verse twenty one,
-
where your treasure is there, your heart will be also right. Right, So,
-
if Paul's heart is a Priscilla there, his heart will
-
be right right, civil liv in Priscilla as well?
-
Right right?
-
If where your treasure is there, your heart will be also.
-
So where is your heart? Whets my heart? Where is
-
your heart? Say? Yeah, is where is your heart? Right?
-
Where is your heart? Where is my heart? Good question? All,
-
this very short question is very good reflective question. Where
-
is my heart? Let's continue Matthew Chapter twenty two was
-
thirty six to thirty eight. Say, teacher, which is the
-
great commandment in the law? Verse thirty seven says Jesus,
-
Say to him, you shall love the Lord your God
-
with all your heart, with all your soul, and with
-
all your mind. This is the first and great commandment.
-
Jesus says, right, right, Okay, So that's the second point,
-
to serve God and obey him with our all. Yes,
-
if we have been serving already, yes, But is it
-
our all? So? If it's not, then let's ask ourselves God,
-
ask ourselves, where is my heart? Right? Okay? Okay? Third point,
-
seek him and you will find him.
-
Where is God?
-
Seek him and you will find him. Third point Jeremiah
-
twenty nine, verse thirteen also says, and you will seek me,
-
God saying here, and you will seek me and find me.
-
God promises that when we seek him we will find him.
-
When condition when you seek, when you search for me
-
with all your heart. If you have not found God,
-
that yet means we have not searched him with all
-
our hearts.
-
Not you find by God promises. Here's a God.
-
Who keeps his promise. He is a God. He's a
-
promise keeping God. Yeah, and whatever he says he will
-
keep doing it right, he will. He's right. And if
-
you have not find it yet, doesn't mean that God
-
didn't keep his promise. But have we have we us
-
with all our hearts? Have we seek him with all
-
our hearts? Right? If you have not found an answer yet,
-
let's take a step back and ask ourselves. Have I
-
searched God with all my heart yet? Okay? That is
-
point number three point number four. This is from First Chronicles,
-
chapter twenty eight, verse ten. Right, God has chosen you
-
point four. God has chosen you. Be strong and do it. Haha,
-
be strong and do it. Wow. I always remind myself God,
-
especially on Monday mornings.
-
All very hard, but the word of God speaks to me.
-
Bit strong, Olivia, and just do it. Carry your bible
-
and bring it to the other.
-
Just do it.
-
Okay, God, I will do it.
-
God has chosen you. Tell your neighbor. God has chosen you. God,
-
I tell you, neighbor, Tell God has chosen me. Ah,
-
all right, God has chosen you. Be strong and do it.
-
First Bitter, Chapter twenty, Chapter two, verse nine. First Bitter,
-
Chapter two nine says, but you are a chosen generation.
-
All of us here we are chosen. God has chosen us. Right.
-
You may feel that you are hearing this word, or
-
you know, by chance you are hearing you are coming
-
in here. Yeah, by chance? Maybe I don't know. But
-
there is always a purpose under heaven. There is nothing
-
that is by chance. God has orchestrated it. But you
-
are a chosen generation listening to the word of God today.
-
You are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation,
-
his own special people that you may proclaim the praises
-
of Him. Who called you out of darkness into his
-
marvelous right light. Right, So we are chosen to do
-
what to proclaim, to speak forth, to make power publique,
-
not private. You know, sometimes got option on the button,
-
make public or make private? Right, we are we are
-
to display, We are to proclaim the praises of Him
-
who called you out of darkness. God is the one
-
that called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.
-
He he is in the marveless light as you, as
-
you believed in him, as you choose him, you will
-
step into that marvelous light. As he is in that
-
marveless light. He called you out of the marveless light. Right,
-
and we have a choice to step into it. We
-
have a choice, all right, You are chosen. Do you
-
want to continue to be to stay chosen? It's our choice,
-
be chosen, be chosen. Okay, But you are a chosen generation,
-
a royal priesthood, a holy nation, his own special people,
-
that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called
-
you out of darkness into his marvelous light. In other words,
-
the First Chronicles, chapter twenty eight, verse twenty again, right,
-
King David is saying, And David said, to his son.
-
Be strong and of good courage, and do it. Do
-
not fear nor be dismayed. For the Lord God, my God,
-
will be with you. He will not leave you nor
-
forsake you until you have finished all the work for
-
the service of the House of the Lord. Do you
-
know why, brothers and sisters, we are still alive today?
-
There is still work to be done. Means means He
-
is still with us right in today, twentieth of October.
-
We are alive today. There is a chance. Right. Yeah,
-
we have friends, family who has already gone ahead of us. Today.
-
We have breath, we have life. Let's live it right,
-
Let's live it to the full until the very end.
-
Come on, right, right, Matthew, Chapter twenty eight, verse nineteen
-
to twenty saies, go therefore and make disciples. There is
-
work to do to make disciples of all nations. Right,
-
all nations, not just nations as in the geographical nations,
-
but also people groups, different cultures. It could be the
-
same someone of the same race, but of maybe a
-
different financial status, of a different family background. Right. He
-
has called us to make disciples of all nations, baptizing
-
them in the name of the Father and of the
-
son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe
-
all things I have commanded you and low familiar. Now
-
I am with you you always, even to the end
-
of the age. I don't know. You can try to
-
search how many times God says I am with you,
-
how many times he has to promise you, Hey, I
-
am with you.
-
Don't worry, just be strong and just do it right.
-
You can search. I haven't searched that one yet.
-
You can search.
-
No. God promises us that he so many times in
-
his word, I think everywhere he's saying, I will be
-
with you. Go forth, right, go forth and to here
-
in what Jesus says the great commission, right, Jesus is
-
until the end of the age. King David says, until
-
the work is done. Similar, similar, I can see similar
-
things that right until the work is done. The work
-
is not done yet. Okay, let's do it together, right.
-
Just a very quick story from myself, you know. Past
-
one October October twenty twenty three, I had a scope
-
surgery to remove cysts from my womb and endometrio cysts.
-
Right the post surgery. After after the surgery, post surgery,
-
the doctor injected in me a certain medication to hold
-
my period for three months. Three months later, I ran
-
back for a follow up checkup. The doctor gave me
-
some pills and tell me to take it to hold
-
my period to avoid having the seas to grow again.
-
Okay in my womb, right, and yes, so it's supposed to.
-
The pill is supposed to hold my period for longer
-
duration to reduce the growth of rate of the cysts. However,
-
I was not comfortable taking the pills. I don't know why,
-
I know, Peacela doctor, okay, I cannot. Yeah. Despite having
-
given an okay, it's safe to take the pills to
-
treat andrometricist patients by some of the GPS that I
-
had like second opinion with, I wanted to monitor my
-
symptoms to see whether that my period will come naturally
-
or not without taking appills. So for the past one year,
-
since October last year, I did.
-
Not have my period.
-
WHOA, I don't know is it a miracle or not?
-
But yes, I didn't have my period. It's it's so nice.
-
I don't know. I don't have the thing about like,
-
you know, caring my you know, having gone through PMS,
-
don't have all the emotions and everything or weakness, like
-
I'm the doer. I'm a duer. I need to do things.
-
If I don't know things, I feel like so not productive.
-
Like so for me to have not no period, it's like, yeah,
-
let's like pay it up, like yes, like like I
-
don't know, sorry goes and you can understand now, man
-
beving me for a while. Yeah, So it was so nice.
-
You know, for entire year, I could go to Bali
-
and my husband and I even have to think about Okay,
-
I did bring a few just in case it suddenly comes, right, So,
-
but I had a great time. You know, no period,
-
don't have to worry. You don't have to worry. Go
-
swimming or anything. Yay, can go swimming, right. Yeah, so
-
I didn't have my period. So honestly, it was a
-
wonderful feeling of being free from the monthly pre menstrual
-
syndrome PMS. And honestly I was more productive in getting
-
things done for my family, have more time to spend
-
with my family, and also since my mother in law
-
recently has gone home to Johor down south, it's not
-
with us right now, and spending time with the family
-
and doing ministry without any interruption in between right, I
-
could travel to Bali, like I said, right, Oh, all
-
the joys of having no PMS feels like when I
-
was a kid again before getting my first period, Like, yeah,
-
I can do everything now. So it was. It was
-
not until last Saturday, on the twelfth of October. I
-
went back to the doctor because I know, and I
-
shared this with different ones, my my friends and yeahs
-
also was talking to me like, hey, doesn't sound right. Yeah,
-
I know this is all right, but it feels good
-
to see you don't see the doctor. Doctor will ask
-
me a lot of questions, you know. But I went back. Okay,
-
I thought, yes, I think I better go back. So
-
I went back to the doctor and asked him why
-
I still do not have my period though I had
-
not taken the pills. He checked and scanned my womb.
-
The wall linings are thickening, probably due to not having
-
period for a year. They are noises, praise God, gnurses already.
-
But I have, of course last eight counts due to surgery,
-
the surgery that I had last year, and also maybe
-
because I do not have any period. I do not know. Yeah,
-
so doctor was checking. Everything seems okay, everything seems fun.
-
They say, maybe let's check your hormone levels. Right. He
-
was asking me some questions like, hey, do you have
-
symptoms of menoto pause, like hald flush and I said, no,
-
I'm enjoying myself. I can't even go for net both tournament.
-
The other day. Oh you want a place?
-
Yeah? Yeah, so I had I had fun, you know,
-
being myself again and I was good.
-
It was good.
-
Doctor, I know, no nothing I'm going. I'm doing that.
-
So the doctor yeah. So then the doctor, yeah, check
-
my homone levels also all good? Was everything normal? But
-
don't know why I still don't have my period. Then
-
he gave me another set of pills. I'm like okay.
-
He said, these pills is for you to have your
-
period again. I'm like, okay, doctor, I will take it. Okay.
-
I took it. So while while taking my my the
-
pills for having my period, I had my box of
-
pills that hold my period. Right, it didn't. I I
-
didn't even take it. So I gave it back to
-
the pharmacies as a pharmacy please have it back. You know,
-
it's an expensive pill. So I said, why don't you
-
use this for someone else? You know? They didn't refunded me,
-
but I say it's okay. If I take it, I'll
-
just throw it and it's just wasted, right, give it
-
back to the pharmacists and see what they can do
-
for others LA. Right. So anyway, I still have that
-
pill that has to help me to have my period.
-
So I was also still doubtful in taking the pill.
-
So I'm like, okay, I'll just put it for a
-
while and let's see what house my body reacting up.
-
So that same night, that same night, I suddenly had
-
my period and that PMS came back, all the familiar pms,
-
feeling like oh, feeling weak again. You know, I don't
-
miss this, but it's familiar, like Okay, then yeah, the
-
period came and yeah, so praise God, my period came back.
-
I don't know how to say praise God, but yeah,
-
I'm normal. Now what do you I don't know.
-
How to explain.
-
All the girls can understand, right, Okay, sorry, but yes,
-
I I'm just saying that, you know you really really
-
I just also want to apologize. But we should also
-
all listen to our doctors. Doctors said take payer, please
-
take your prayers. Okay, follow the medication prescribed by the doctors.
-
But in this case, I was really not at east
-
to take the pills, but I because that I don't
-
I don't think I need it, right, Okay, sorry, sorry
-
all the medical practitioners. All right, I even written yes,
-
so I written it. But truly I believe God has
-
healed me from the andrometricist condition. It's a condition where
-
you know, the tissue linings will envelope the uterists, right
-
and when when when I have my period, usually the
-
walls in the inner lining of the womb usually breaks down.
-
But for my case, andrometricys patients who have their the
-
the tissues breaking down outside so it becomes like very painful.
-
So the pill is to help that. But yeah, so
-
thank God, I'm totally hell without needing needing any more pills.
-
So really I think it's supernatural. I truly believe God
-
has healed me. So don't get me wrong. There are
-
patients who need to have medication to control the andrometrics
-
and cist growth rate, which will help improve the quality
-
of life instead of suffering, true the pain regularly, but
-
really really thank God for and medical advancement really is important, right,
-
But for my case, it's a journey. It's a journey
-
of faith with my God. Okay, and and it taught
-
me a very important life lesson that we can be
-
living a life that seems fine but it is but
-
is it truthfully fine? For example, like I didn't have
-
my favorite right, Yes it seems good, but is it
-
truly okay? Yeah, we may be in this journey of
-
faith with the Lord, everything seems fine, Praise.
-
The Lord, hallelujah.
-
I'm living fine? But are we Is it really fine?
-
So it's a good heart check. Yeah for us even
-
this coming, we do have a reflection with the Lord
-
and yeah, speak to the speak to the Holy Spirit
-
about this. Yeah, are we living a life that is fine?
-
But is it truly fine? Or am I just living
-
in denial? It is my relationship with God real? Or
-
is it superficial? Is it pleasing to God living my
-
life with just having the form of Godliness but denying
-
its power? If my God is so powerful and real,
-
what is holding me back from sharing his wonders to
-
others around me? Yeah, it's a good ques question. Right,
-
So let's let's be honest before the Lord on this
-
question on how has it been? How has it been
-
for me? How has it been? How has it been.
-
For all the word of God spoken over our lives,
-
how has it been? What has my response been?
-
All this?
-
Wild? Let us not be in that position of like Jonah? Right,
-
let us not be in that position. But let us
-
obey his word daily. Right, Let's obey his word, his
-
daily bread, and let's obey him daily, because today is
-
the day that the Lord has made, and we will
-
rejoice and be glad as as it is today. Today
-
is the today, twentieth of October. Right, is now the
-
thirty four message that we are hearing since much beginning
-
of March until now? Right? Thirty fourth time? Ready? Or
-
how many times? It's like God giving us second chances
-
thirty fourth chances thirty fourth opportunity to obey him again?
-
Right?
-
Isn't it good to be alive to be able to
-
obey him again? Even though we have obeyed him yesterday,
-
It's also okay, and it's great to obey him again
-
because we never know we are breaking through something that
-
we cannot even see. We could be a blessing to
-
another person to break through and to have faith to
-
move forward, to advance the Kingdom of God. Together.
-
Amen?
-
Right? So in Hebrews three seven to eight says. Therefore,
-
as the Holy Spirit says today, if you hear his voice,
-
do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion in
-
the day of trial in the wilderness. But let's hear
-
his voice and let's obey him. Amen.
-
