We bow before your throne, O 30 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,600 Lord, waiting for your touch, waiting for your mountain, the 31 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:27,800 Lord, waiting for your hands.

Praise the Lord, Hallelujah. 35 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:25,720 Last week I said as we are waiting upon the Lord and we are 36 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,840 going to dine with Him, each and every one of us should have an 37 00:06:28,840 --> 00:06:35,200 expectation, and I'm of a firm conviction that before this 38 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:39,160 morning's service will come to a close, the Lord will do 39 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:42,960 something new. You don't need to believe it 40 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,040 before I believe it. I believe it. 41 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:50,000 And so whether you say Amen or you don't say it, the Lord will 42 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,480 do it. Amen. 43 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,960 This morning we are privileged to have our dear mother in the 44 00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:01,240 person of Mrs. Josiah Cosa. Shall we welcome here? 45 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:06,200 God richly bless you. On this note, we invite our dear 46 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,440 pastor, Pastor Josiah Cosa. Shall we welcome him with your 47 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:15,400 father? Oh praise the Lord, Hallelujah. 48 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:20,400 May the grace and peace from our Father and our Savior, Lord 49 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,800 Jesus Christ be multiplied unto us all. 50 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,840 We thank God for today. Today we are going to dine with 51 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:35,720 the Lord and today too is Palm Sunday, so we want to also 52 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:41,720 celebrate the triumphant entry of Christ into Jerusalem. 53 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:47,240 Amen. Friday we began looking at the 54 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:51,600 church. Unleash lessons from Job lessons 55 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:56,240 from Job and we read from Job chapter 29. 56 00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:02,720 We read from one to verse 6. So today we will read from verse 57 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:07,120 7 following. But by way of recap, we looked 58 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:11,920 at the first point. We looked at why Job and we saw 59 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:18,040 that Job was commanded by God himself as someone who is 60 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:24,080 righteous and the way he used to live his life. 61 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:29,480 So this whole chapter Job is recounting how he used to live 62 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:33,840 his life and that is what we want to learn from that. 63 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:38,240 We want to pick some valuable things from the life of Job and 64 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:42,480 that was to help us that as the church we are being unleashed or 65 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:47,280 as the church unleashed, we can draw some valuable things from 66 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:51,000 the life and the story of Job. So we want to pick from Job. 67 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:55,880 Friday we saw that Job had a personal relationship with God 68 00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,640 and he also had a household relationship with God. 69 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:03,320 So we are saying that charity begins at home. 70 00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:07,600 We cannot possess the world if we fail to possess our homes. 71 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:13,680 So Job was someone who was conscious that God was with him, 72 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:18,440 so he knew that he had the presence of God, and because of 73 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:23,640 that he built artists to pray for his own children year after 74 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:30,560 year after they had gone to have their own in a way party or 75 00:09:30,560 --> 00:09:33,560 things. So Job will erect authors and 76 00:09:33,560 --> 00:09:37,080 pray and purify them, saying that perhaps they might have 77 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:41,680 sinned against God and that was his regular way of life. 78 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:47,800 So we are saying that fathers, we should carry the fire for the 79 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:52,080 home, for God bless us. We saw that. 80 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:57,400 The second thing we saw from verse 6 was that the path and 81 00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:59,680 the steps of the church unleashed. 82 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:06,960 Job had his path drenched with cream and the rock poured out 83 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:12,760 for him streams of olive oil. We saw that it was a 84 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:16,680 representation of how Job was affluent. 85 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:23,360 He was rich, he was he had wealth and as a church, the 86 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:27,400 church unleashed. The world is full of dryness, so 87 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:32,160 we need to let our path be full of cream so that the world will 88 00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:38,160 know that every step of ours we will leave lasting impacts and 89 00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:42,040 God will be blessed. And also that the rock which is 90 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:46,520 Christ Jesus himself, may he continually pour for us streams 91 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:50,600 of olive oil so that we will not lack oil. 92 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:56,600 We saw that our head should never lack oil, so the church 93 00:10:56,600 --> 00:11:00,040 should always be anointed, otherwise we'll leave. 94 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,040 We'll become as dry as the world is. 95 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:07,680 So we are moving on to the that point and that would take us 96 00:11:07,680 --> 00:11:17,240 from Job 26, from verse 7 following Job 26, from verse 7, 97 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,040 following. Say that when I went to the gate 98 00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:27,760 of the city and took my seat in where the public square, the 99 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,960 young man saw me and stepped aside. 100 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:37,280 The old man rose to their feet. The chief men refrained from 101 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:41,200 speaking and covered their mouths with their hands. 102 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:47,080 The voices of the nobles were hushed, and their tongue stuck 103 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:51,920 to the roof of their mouths. Whoever had me spoke well of me, 104 00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,480 and those who saw me commended me. 105 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:59,360 Why? Because I rescued the poor who 106 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:03,520 cried for help, and the fatherless who had none to 107 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:08,520 assist them, The one who was dying, bless me. 108 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:15,520 I made the widow's heart sing. I put on righteousness as my 109 00:12:15,560 --> 00:12:20,240 clothing. Justice was my rope and my 110 00:12:20,560 --> 00:12:26,080 turban. I was eyes to the blind and feet 111 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:31,400 to the limb. I was a father to the needy, and 112 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:34,080 I took up the case of the stranger. 113 00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:40,440 I broke the fangs of the wicked and sniped the victims from 114 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:45,520 their feet. I thought I would die in my own 115 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:50,560 house, my days as numerous as the greens of sand. 116 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:56,000 My roots will reach to the water, and dew will lie all 117 00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:01,200 night on my branches. My glory will not fade. 118 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:05,480 The bull will never, will ever be new in my hand. 119 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:12,440 People listened to me expectantly, waiting in silence 120 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:17,360 for my counsel. After I had spoken, they spoke 121 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,560 no more. My words fell gently on their 122 00:13:20,560 --> 00:13:25,360 ears. They waited for me for showers. 123 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:30,640 They waited for me As for showers and drunken my words as 124 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:35,600 the spring rain. When I smiled at them, they 125 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:41,080 scarcely believed it. The light of my face was 126 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:45,960 precious to them. I chose the way for them and 127 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:51,120 such as their chief, I dwelt as a king among his troops. 128 00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:55,160 I was like one who comforts mourners. 129 00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:58,880 Amen. Oh, I said, Amen. 130 00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:07,080 So we want to move quickly through this, and we are still 131 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:11,040 learning from Job. We are still learning from Job. 132 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:16,200 So the third thing we want to learn from Job from verse 7 to 133 00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:25,440 10 is that beyond the fortress, Job's bold step of leaving the 134 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:30,080 splendor for service. So we need to leave splendor for 135 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:33,400 service. Live in your splendor for 136 00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,000 service. Job was rich. 137 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:41,120 He could have chosen to enjoy. He could have chosen to remain 138 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:45,080 in the comfort of his home. Sometimes the church, we are 139 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:48,800 blessed. We live in the splendor of our 140 00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:54,040 homes, of our church buildings. We live in so much splendor of 141 00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:57,880 what God has done for us. But the church on leash, like 142 00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:01,680 Job, need to live splendor for service. 143 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:06,600 You need to leave the comfort of your homes for the gutters of 144 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:09,960 the ghettos. We need to descend from the 145 00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:14,960 splendor of our luxurious places wherever you are comfortable, 146 00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:21,760 and descend to the to the undesirable pits where men are 147 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:25,040 locked up. So Job he did not just remain, 148 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:28,360 he left. So Job went to the city gates. 149 00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:33,680 The city gate was where they used to meet every city. 150 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:38,120 The their gates was the point of transaction. 151 00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:41,080 It was the point where they conducted everything. 152 00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:46,880 They would accept even they will transact, buy land, buy and 153 00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:48,360 sell. So everything. 154 00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:54,640 So by effect, Job, as we learned from him, did not stay at home. 155 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,680 He went out. He went out to the center of 156 00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:00,280 action. So the church to the center of 157 00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:04,960 action is not here. This place is not the center of 158 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:08,240 action. This place we just spent about 159 00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,040 two hours to three hours and we leave. 160 00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:16,080 The center of action is where you work, where you spend 8 161 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:22,440 hours a day, Monday to Friday, and even go beyond, where you 162 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:29,200 spend much of your time, your working life, that is your city 163 00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:33,600 gates. And Job left his splendor and he 164 00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:38,760 went to serve. So Job had his own sphere of 165 00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:42,720 influence, his own sphere of influence. 166 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:47,080 We too, your sphere of influence is different from mind sphere. 167 00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:54,840 Your sphere could be wider, your reach could be much more because 168 00:16:55,200 --> 00:17:00,440 some of us will work with students, we teach them. 169 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:05,520 Some of us we work in the business field where we meet 170 00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:10,800 high profile men and women. Some of us, we work with our 171 00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:14,520 friends, with our colleagues. Wherever you spend your time, 172 00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:17,319 that is your city gates, that is it. 173 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:21,800 And you need to go out there and make an impact. 174 00:17:22,079 --> 00:17:25,240 So he went there and another thing he did was that he had a 175 00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:28,040 seat. Let's go go back to the verse 176 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,280 seven. Job says that when he leaves, 177 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:36,440 when he left, he went to the city gate, to the gate of the 178 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:41,800 city and took mine seats. So Job had a seat. 179 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:46,360 Job had a seat. Where is your seat? 180 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:54,520 Sometimes we may think that, oh, I don't want to worry others. 181 00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:59,520 The seat that you have at your working place, you are not just 182 00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:03,920 there for yourself. If at the work you do, God 183 00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:08,600 intentionally gave it to you, not just to go there and to earn 184 00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:14,720 a living for yourself. If for that alone, God can still 185 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:21,720 reign mana for you so that you know it, but you are there as 186 00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:25,560 His representative. You are there as His ambassador. 187 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:31,000 You are there ending a living. But God has strategically placed 188 00:18:31,120 --> 00:18:35,560 us at wherever we are for His own intention. 189 00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:40,000 We need to go back and ask God, Lord, what would you have me do 190 00:18:40,120 --> 00:18:43,760 at where I work? You are there to change 191 00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:48,000 somebody's life. You are there to be a source of 192 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:51,760 encouragement for someone. Probably you are there because 193 00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:55,360 of one soul. That is why God is keeping you 194 00:18:55,360 --> 00:18:59,720 there. So don't just gloss over your 195 00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:03,200 ministry to your seats at your workplace. 196 00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:08,840 Everybody has a ministry, everybody, every believer. 197 00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:15,520 You are saved to make an impact. Look at the self to the disciple 198 00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:21,920 name, that his name appeared just once in the Acts, but he 199 00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:25,200 was the one who prayed for Saul to receive his sight. 200 00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:28,640 He was the one who God Jesus showed him that. 201 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:32,160 Go to this house, there is a man there named Saul. 202 00:19:32,360 --> 00:19:35,400 He is praying. Go and lay your hands on him to 203 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:38,320 receive sight and you'll be filled with the Holy Ghost. 204 00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:42,400 But that man, his name appeared once since then. 205 00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:44,520 It was poor, poor, poor, poor, poor, poor. 206 00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:49,640 So Paul cannot glory in the Lord because the person who laid 207 00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:53,480 hands on him to receive the Holy Ghost was not even an apostle. 208 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:58,760 He was a disciple. So in the Church of God, Jesus 209 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:04,360 is the one who is the head. Yeah, yeah, we are servants. 210 00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:09,400 So please, you are there. Probably you are there because a 211 00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:13,280 word from your mouth would save a generation to come. 212 00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:19,320 So don't just think that me I go work, come home, work. 213 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,040 No church. Don't involve yourself with 214 00:20:22,360 --> 00:20:24,280 spiritual things. You are here to work. 215 00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:30,000 No, no, no, no, no. Don't draw the line of secular 216 00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,320 sacred young people and free home. 217 00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:37,840 We need to take our spirituality to fill the secular spaces. 218 00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:40,880 Wherever we are, we are spiritual beings. 219 00:20:41,120 --> 00:20:46,120 Wherever we are, Jesus is there. Jesus must be seen wherever I 220 00:20:46,120 --> 00:20:51,840 work and wherever I go. So Job carried that thing and he 221 00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:55,720 went out city gates. You need to have a seat. 222 00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:59,280 You need to have a seat. You need to have a seat. 223 00:20:59,880 --> 00:21:05,880 And honor was not merely bestowed on Job, but you soon 224 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:09,360 see what why they did what they did. 225 00:21:09,360 --> 00:21:13,960 Let's try and then read from the verse 8, the groups, the noble 226 00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:18,840 groups who when they saw Job, you may think that was just 227 00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:23,160 because of his money, but it wasn't just for his money. 228 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:26,960 You will see. So that he was involved in acts 229 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:32,920 of kindness service, so that the young man saw me and stepped 230 00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:37,680 aside. Your young men, young men, by 231 00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:42,240 their nature, they will not just step aside, they want to occupy 232 00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:46,960 space, but whenever they saw Job, they will step aside. 233 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:52,080 So there are about 5 of them, so that the first one is young men 234 00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:57,600 and they step word aside. The second group is old men and 235 00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:00,840 then chief men. Look at how the whole thing is 236 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:06,280 progressing. Go back to the verse 8 and let's 237 00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:10,960 check. Young men, old men, next one is 238 00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:16,080 what chief men, next one is nobles. 239 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:25,600 And the last one, so young men, all the noble groups, leaders, 240 00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:29,680 the young, the ages, the Princess, the highest city 241 00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:33,920 officials, when they all saw him, they honored Job. 242 00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:41,880 Job was not a priest. Job was not a prophet, but he 243 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:49,360 was a businessman, A wealthy man who loved God. 244 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:54,200 So you don't have to tell me that unless you are a priest, 245 00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,960 you cannot serve God well. Is a lie. 246 00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:00,640 Go and check the scriptures. Abraham. 247 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:06,280 Abraham was a businessman. He was what, a businessman. 248 00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:12,000 He traveled Isaac and ghost Jacob go and see him. 249 00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:19,840 He was business minded. So God wants to use ordinary men 250 00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,880 and women like us to transform the world. 251 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:25,760 Only that open up your heart for him. 252 00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:31,960 So he wasn't a priest, but he lived a righteous life and his 253 00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:39,560 life affected the entire space. So take your sacred life to the 254 00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:43,320 secular world. Hallelujah. 255 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:48,920 Oh, I said Hallelujah. Oh, why are you angry with me? 256 00:23:52,120 --> 00:23:58,800 So when they saw him, it wasn't just for fun, but Job was doing 257 00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:04,200 something spectacular. Job had influence even to to the 258 00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:07,840 point that the young men step aside. 259 00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:14,320 Young men want to occupy in Chile from abrancia Obrana on 260 00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:18,400 tea. Do you know how to bra Okanisha 261 00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:22,400 like a cock? If you push it hard, another 262 00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:25,680 water. Why? 263 00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:27,760 Because of the strength abrancia. 264 00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:32,720 So the young ones are not just easily to move away, but they 265 00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:35,960 step aside. The old men rose to their feet. 266 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:40,880 Old men, they wouldn't just rise to their feet unless they see 267 00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:43,960 another one who is older than. So Job was doing something 268 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:47,040 spectacular for old men to rise to their feet. 269 00:24:47,360 --> 00:24:50,440 Verse 9 The chief men, they did what? 270 00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:54,600 Refrain from speaking. Chief chief men, they talk, they 271 00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:58,640 have wisdom. But when they saw Job, they 272 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:02,320 refrain from speaking, and not just that, they covered their 273 00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:04,360 mouth. Just say no, not per SE a 274 00:25:04,360 --> 00:25:12,120 Casacra, don't talk. Then the nobles, the voices of 275 00:25:12,120 --> 00:25:17,000 the nobles that you always hear, they even kept quiet. 276 00:25:17,360 --> 00:25:21,160 Not that their tongues stuck to the roof of their mouth, meaning 277 00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:25,760 that the the voice, even the sound, their voice cannot even 278 00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:29,880 utter even any sound. They needed to keep quiet. 279 00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:34,040 Why? Because job is in town. 280 00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:39,320 I pray that the church unleashed when we hit the streets, when 281 00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:43,520 you get to your work, when you move out, when you as a church 282 00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:48,080 unleashed at your workplaces, these things should happen to 283 00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:50,080 you. If they are not happening at 284 00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:53,080 your workplace, then please go back and sit down. 285 00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:58,200 If they don't accord you, eat. We need you eat. 286 00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:05,640 They will be speaking something bad, but the moment they see 287 00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:13,440 your face, they know that you preach against them. 288 00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:18,440 They know that you won't do it. They know that you you are also 289 00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:22,120 for you are for Christ. You are you are godly. 290 00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:26,720 That is what should happen and the church on leash should have 291 00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:30,920 the impact. I pray that will transform our 292 00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:34,480 spheres. We would change it and we would 293 00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:38,120 change it and change it and change it. 294 00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:42,040 Hallelujah. Oh, I said Hallelujah. 295 00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:50,320 And then Job and all these things because of what he did 296 00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:57,720 next verse, not against that. Those who heard of me spoke 297 00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:01,120 well, and those who saw me commended me. 298 00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:05,960 Two things are there. Please go back to the verse 11, 299 00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:18,360 verse 11, verse 11. So those who had and so don't 300 00:27:18,360 --> 00:27:22,040 you see something in line with our theme for this year? 301 00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:25,000 The gospel must be preached to be heard. 302 00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:29,000 The Holy Ghost power must be demonstrated to be seen. 303 00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:35,600 Couldn't you see there? So in effect, when they hear of 304 00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:41,480 us, they must hear about the gospel being practicalized. 305 00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:46,040 And when they see us, they should see the power of God 306 00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:50,560 demonstrated through us. And that is when the church will 307 00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:54,480 be commanded. So the church on leash, we are 308 00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:59,520 being on leash with the gospel, by preaching the gospel, by 309 00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:04,000 living by the gospel. And also those who see us should 310 00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:07,400 see the power of the Holy Spirit demonstrated in us. 311 00:28:08,120 --> 00:28:11,360 The Holy Spirit power is not for speaking in tons. 312 00:28:11,360 --> 00:28:17,760 So Tom, I repeat, the Holy Spirit power, it's not the 313 00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:20,120 Hiribaba. You do like Ababa Baba. 314 00:28:20,120 --> 00:28:23,320 No, no, no, no, no, no. That is the entry point. 315 00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:27,800 That is the entry, just the entry points. 316 00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:33,920 But the life in the Holy Ghost is much more deeper, It's much 317 00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:39,200 more richer. It's much more, oh, very sweet, 318 00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:46,840 because righteousness, joy, peace in the Holy Ghost. 319 00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:52,360 The Kingdom of God is not about eating and drinking, but it is 320 00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:56,480 more about demonstrating the power of the Holy Spirit and the 321 00:28:56,480 --> 00:29:04,040 Holy Spirit, His presence and his active presence with you, 322 00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:06,720 you would definitely carry something. 323 00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:10,720 Something will be there and somebody will meet you. 324 00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:19,480 Who are you? And I'm I have entered places. 325 00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:28,680 You are a pastor and I would say how did you know? 326 00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:34,480 No, no, no, I'm not. I'm not even the way you even 327 00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:37,200 speak shows that you are a pastor. 328 00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:40,920 What did you see me? You're like no, there is 329 00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:46,880 something about you. So the Holy Ghost something the 330 00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:51,400 glory of the Lord she shine upon you, Hallelujah. 331 00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:56,040 The church needs to arise and shine for the glory of the Lord. 332 00:29:56,240 --> 00:30:05,520 So let your character behead, character behead and when they 333 00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:09,920 see you, they should see that correlation between what they 334 00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:12,360 are hearing and they are seeing in you. 335 00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:15,400 Hallelujah. Let's move on to verse 12. 336 00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:20,600 Because of something certain things he did, because of what 337 00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:22,040 he did. Let's see. 338 00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:30,760 Because he rescued the poor who cried for help and the 339 00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:33,880 fatherless who had none to assist them. 340 00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:40,560 Next verse please. The one who was dying blessed 341 00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:44,160 me. The one who who was dying 342 00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:49,760 blessed me. I made the widow's heart sink, 343 00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:59,320 and then he put on righteousness as his clothing, and justice was 344 00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:02,280 his what? His robe and his Tavern. 345 00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:07,440 Next verse, please. I was eyes to the blind and feet 346 00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:09,160 to the limb. Next verse. 347 00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:14,440 I was a father to the needy and I took up the case of a 348 00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:19,440 stranger. I broke the funds of the wicked 349 00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:23,160 and snatched the victims from the athletes. 350 00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:29,800 I think yes. So we will look up to verse 17. 351 00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:35,880 So Job did all these things because of what he did. 352 00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:41,840 What are you doing? What are you doing? 353 00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:48,080 Before we go to the to that list, let me say that the 354 00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:55,480 church, if we remain within the fortress of the walls, the world 355 00:31:55,480 --> 00:32:01,760 will label us as they see us. I take it again the well, then 356 00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:06,800 they are fond of labeling and what you do is what they see and 357 00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:11,000 then they label. So the church that remains 358 00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:16,760 within the fortress will receive a label, and the label from the 359 00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:22,400 world is what they see them do. So when the church unleashed, 360 00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:25,680 when we are on leash, we determine the labeling we get. 361 00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:36,920 Let's look at Acts 11, Acts 1126, Acts 11/26 and see how 362 00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:42,600 they label them. And when he had found him, he 363 00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:48,000 brought him to Antioch for a whole year the Panabas and so 364 00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:53,880 met with the church and taught great numbers of people. 365 00:32:54,440 --> 00:33:02,120 The disciples were first called Christians at where they were 366 00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:05,280 called Christians first at Antioch. 367 00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:09,840 So the world at first, they weren't called what Christians. 368 00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:13,080 They were just the people of the way, the people of the way. 369 00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:16,160 They were just there. So if we want a very good 370 00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:22,880 labeling, be on list. If you want a name, a good name 371 00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:28,600 at your workplace, be on list. But if you sit there quietly, 372 00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:32,720 they will consider you as one of their their own. 373 00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:39,520 So be on list. Let us go to 17 six the same 374 00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:46,640 acts, 17 six of the same acts. But when they did not find them, 375 00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:52,720 they dragged Jason and some other believers before the six 376 00:33:52,840 --> 00:34:00,080 officials, saying These men who have caused trouble all over the 377 00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:09,199 world have now come here. These men who have caused 378 00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:12,840 trouble other would say that there were people who have 379 00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:18,280 turned the world upside down. Look at another labeling. 380 00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:23,560 So whenever you unleash, the world will label you as they 381 00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:26,199 see. But if you remain within your 382 00:34:26,679 --> 00:34:31,440 within the church, they will also give you a label. 383 00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:36,760 So let the church be unleashed so that we will go and we will 384 00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:43,280 transform our spheres. Hallelujah or I said Hallelujah. 385 00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:50,760 So the unleashing agenda is an expression and an embodiment of 386 00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:54,320 the Great Commission. Let me take it again. 387 00:34:54,960 --> 00:35:02,920 The unleashing agenda that the whole church to do and transform 388 00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:07,240 our world is an expression and an embodiment of the Great 389 00:35:07,240 --> 00:35:11,960 Commission. Because Job went, Abraham went 390 00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:16,840 and all those were unleashed. Look at the impact they now have 391 00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:18,440 on us. Abraham go. 392 00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:22,920 The same goal that Jesus gave to us, Abraham to went and look at 393 00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:25,080 how he has been blessed till now. 394 00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:29,840 So if you can choose to remain, you can choose not to be 395 00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:32,560 unleashed, but you will not have any impact. 396 00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:36,160 But those who will be unleashed by faith, they will go out there 397 00:35:36,240 --> 00:35:39,400 and they will make impacts. I pray that we will be 398 00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:41,800 unleashed. Hallelujah. 399 00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:51,320 So the Third Point that we have looked is that Job he chose, he 400 00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:57,000 left splendor for service. The 4th 1 is that they praise 401 00:35:57,000 --> 00:36:01,520 God because of me and that is from the verse 11 to the verse 402 00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:06,080 17. They praise God because of me, 403 00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:12,280 they praise God because of me, they praise God because of me. 404 00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:17,480 There is something good in you that needs to be unleashed. 405 00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:25,040 There is something special. So the life in the church, which 406 00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:28,360 is trouble within the church, cannot be praised. 407 00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:35,400 If we choose to remain within, when we fail to reach out to 408 00:36:35,720 --> 00:36:41,000 identify our groups within our within our reach, God's name 409 00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:45,640 will not be praised. Job received the accolades 410 00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:49,000 because he refused to remain within the fortress of his 411 00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:52,480 abundance of wealth. He went out, he was on leaves 412 00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:55,400 and look at the people he touched. 413 00:36:56,000 --> 00:37:02,640 Let's go back to the verse 11 and see Job's services. 1st 414 00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:10,760 12:00 please number one, you rescue the poor because of time. 415 00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:18,240 I want to combine. Please bring that chart that I 416 00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:21,440 forwarded to you. We want to draw some 417 00:37:21,720 --> 00:37:30,360 correlations between jobs groups and then link them to our COP 418 00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:35,120 and the Vision 2228, the new ministry intervention and you 419 00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:39,960 truly see that the church too as we are being unleashed. 420 00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:46,560 We have also grouped or we have also developed ministries to our 421 00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:50,720 identify groups in our time. So we want to draw that link 422 00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:56,560 Jobs Acts of service for his identifier groups in his city 423 00:37:57,120 --> 00:38:01,840 and correlate them to the vision 20/12/28 COP ministry 424 00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:05,280 interventions. Then you see that it will truly 425 00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:08,640 follow the vision, the document that God has given to the 426 00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:10,880 church. We are also following a very 427 00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:13,720 good example as the church on leash. 428 00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:18,240 So the first one that we want to look at is that home and urban 429 00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:23,040 missions harm. You see that link to what Job 430 00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:27,440 did. He rescued victims of godless 431 00:38:27,720 --> 00:38:31,360 oppressions and victims of injustice. 432 00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:36,720 So the church, we need to also be unleashed through harm. 433 00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:42,600 We need to go there and rescue victims of godless oppressions. 434 00:38:43,720 --> 00:38:48,160 We need to go out there and with the gospel, the gospel. 435 00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:51,520 The gospel is not just one sided thing. 436 00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:55,560 It is not a one winged thing. It also goes with acts of 437 00:38:55,760 --> 00:39:02,560 kindness services. So we can be math to those who 438 00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:06,680 don't have voices. We don't have to walk around 439 00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:12,000 through this town and city and overlook victims of injustice. 440 00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:17,320 We need to speak up for them. We don't have to just drive by. 441 00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:44,320 In this church and in the agenda of being unleashed today, you 442 00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:47,440 may be thinking that it doesn't concern me. 443 00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:51,000 Waiting concern me. Now make a pass and go. 444 00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:53,440 No, tomorrow they will do to you. 445 00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:58,320 So anything you see around the church, we need to rescue 446 00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:01,320 victims. The next thing Job did was he 447 00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:04,640 helped the poor in their need. The church also helped the poor 448 00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:07,600 in their need. We need to help the poor as 449 00:40:07,720 --> 00:40:11,480 individual, as a corporate body, we need to help the poor. 450 00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:15,400 You may think that means how much do I have? 451 00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:19,040 Peter said that if you don't have silver and gold, you have 452 00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:22,800 something valuable in you that can transform somebody. 453 00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:27,600 But after giving them, what do you have sometimes also show 454 00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:31,360 concern. So job help the poor, let us 455 00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:34,480 help the poor. You may think that so for I 456 00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:39,640 don't have much, you don't have much, you don't have much but 457 00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:44,160 the little that you have, I think I had somebody quote the 458 00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:50,720 late mother that Theresa that you can serve with a great 459 00:40:50,720 --> 00:40:56,040 heart, give you a little, but let it be accompanied with a 460 00:40:56,040 --> 00:41:01,400 great heart. So no matter how small what you 461 00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:09,600 look down on, you don't have someone's endpoints or waists is 462 00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:12,480 somebody's raw material for life. 463 00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:16,320 So what you you don't need somebody can depend on it. 464 00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:20,880 The food that you think that oh, I am full, let me go and throw 465 00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:24,720 it away. Somebody would thank God for it. 466 00:41:26,240 --> 00:41:28,760 Your shoe that you think is worn out. 467 00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:31,600 Somebody can glorify, go and say, oh God, I think they're 468 00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:32,800 not. I have a shoe. 469 00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:39,520 So no matter what you have help the poor, help the poor do what? 470 00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:45,000 Help the he also help orphans who required help. 471 00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:48,240 So there are some orphans who don't need help. 472 00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:54,320 There are some orphans who are OK, but some orphans who need 473 00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:57,160 help. Let us try to help them. 474 00:41:57,840 --> 00:42:02,440 So Hum, we need to go out there and help and the Church of 475 00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:07,360 Pentecost through hum sometimes we are feeding those who don't 476 00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:12,000 have homes in Accra and it was called Pent 5000. 477 00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:16,760 Jesus fed 5000. So I think last year or so they 478 00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:22,000 also fed 5000. What would be the joy for escape 479 00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:27,160 the English, you know, lookout to also go out there and go and 480 00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:31,000 feed those who are hungry. They will be happy. 481 00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:37,680 So he he helped them and help the hopeless ones, those who had 482 00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:41,640 no hope, help them put some smile on their face. 483 00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:44,760 He was a father to the poor father. 484 00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:52,240 Sometimes you think that by advising somebody, just a piece 485 00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:59,360 of advice can help somebody. So be a father to someone who 486 00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:04,320 has lost or who had no father, be a father just being there for 487 00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:09,040 them, supporting them, going with them, showing up. 488 00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:11,840 What did these things joke he did? 489 00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:17,200 He assisted strangers who needed help, strangers who needed help. 490 00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:20,240 So hum is doing all these things. 491 00:43:20,240 --> 00:43:24,960 Hum. The next one is he served as ice 492 00:43:25,720 --> 00:43:28,400 for the blind. And I think this one I have shed 493 00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:31,160 here before true of us. Is it here on top? 494 00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:33,920 It was enough for any zoo. Is he here? 495 00:43:35,200 --> 00:43:39,280 And yeah, it's at the top. Is he here? 496 00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:42,520 Because it's like, I've shared it here before and I was like, 497 00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:45,040 no, it's not here. So. 498 00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:56,560 So MPWD. Peter, where are you? 499 00:43:56,960 --> 00:44:03,720 Have you seen it?

We have the ministry to persons 505 00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:37,800 with disabilities and there are several forms of them, eyes, 506 00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:48,120 mouth, ears, those who can even walk and a whole lot of them. 507 00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:56,120 You can just pay them a visit. Peter, they have an association. 508 00:44:57,120 --> 00:44:59,480 So please organize the whole church. 509 00:44:59,960 --> 00:45:03,800 Everybody come. We are going to them, they're 510 00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:07,040 going to pray with them. We are going to share God's love 511 00:45:07,240 --> 00:45:10,440 with them. And then you ask them, what are 512 00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:15,040 some of your needs? What do you need from us? 513 00:45:15,320 --> 00:45:19,160 How can we be of help to you?

I said, oh, they meet here, go 519 00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:42,440 and meet them here. Book a date for them. 520 00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:45,000 Carry all of us. We will all follow you. 521 00:45:45,320 --> 00:45:48,640 We will go like joke. Then they will talk to them. 522 00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:51,800 We engage them. Yeah, we'll just buy some things 523 00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:55,560 for them. Some of them just need assistive 524 00:45:55,760 --> 00:46:00,680 devices. They need them assistive devices 525 00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:07,240 to help them move about, to move around, to move around. 526 00:46:07,720 --> 00:46:11,800 Amen. So we need to serve as eyes for 527 00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:16,280 the blind and feet for the limb. Where they can't go, we can go 528 00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:19,000 for them. What they can see. 529 00:46:19,160 --> 00:46:22,160 We can help them do them. Amen. 530 00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:28,680 The next one is chieftancing again, helping victims of 531 00:46:29,040 --> 00:46:31,880 injustice. The chieftancing institution in 532 00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:35,880 Ghana is a blessed one. It makes Ghana unique. 533 00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:39,360 It makes Ghana unique. But the church, we have not 534 00:46:39,360 --> 00:46:43,360 taken, we have not gone there, we have left them. 535 00:46:43,360 --> 00:46:46,440 And we see them as abosom phobia. 536 00:46:46,760 --> 00:46:51,320 They are just into idolatry because we haven't been there. 537 00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:56,240 They are, they need help. They need help so they can 538 00:46:56,240 --> 00:46:59,280 resort to a lot of things. And whether you like it or not, 539 00:46:59,560 --> 00:47:03,240 that the chiefs, they are the custodians of the culture. 540 00:47:04,440 --> 00:47:08,040 So if you want to make impact, if you want the gospel to hit 541 00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:11,600 every group we need to tackle called the culture. 542 00:47:12,720 --> 00:47:17,440 The gospel must engage every culture so that it would draw a 543 00:47:17,440 --> 00:47:23,840 line and shift the things that are demonic related aside and 544 00:47:23,880 --> 00:47:27,960 put all the things that Jesus relates to Christ and Jesus can 545 00:47:27,960 --> 00:47:32,040 be found in every culture. In every culture. 546 00:47:32,040 --> 00:47:35,440 There are some things that points to Christ already that 547 00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:41,960 that is why Paul in Acts around 17 poor in Athens saw an 548 00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:46,360 inscription to an unknown God and poor could preach from the 549 00:47:46,360 --> 00:47:50,480 unknown God and pointed now he is now being revealed through 550 00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:53,760 Christ Jesus. So if you don't tackle coaches, 551 00:47:54,080 --> 00:47:55,760 conventions will be very difficult. 552 00:47:57,240 --> 00:48:02,320 The reason why some people go to church and still go and consult. 553 00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:07,080 I tell you the average African nephew, you had the 1st and it 554 00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:15,120 said we buddia mediba, you know true of us, the average one. 555 00:48:15,120 --> 00:48:19,040 Why it is our culture. It is deep seated in us. 556 00:48:19,640 --> 00:48:24,400 So if we don't let Jesus touch that whole thing in our culture, 557 00:48:24,600 --> 00:48:29,840 the person will come to church. But no, no Trina or Befetro of 558 00:48:31,320 --> 00:48:35,200 alcohol. So we need to go with the 559 00:48:35,200 --> 00:48:38,320 chieftaincy ministry. So if you know anyone who is a 560 00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:47,840 royal, anyone who who has a link to any throne, please go there. 561 00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:49,840 When they choose you to come and be there. 562 00:48:50,200 --> 00:48:57,360 The Canon go follow you, You will come, we will come and we 563 00:48:57,400 --> 00:49:02,920 take Christ to the throne room. So we have The Chieftains 564 00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:07,120 ministry and through that we are advocating for those who are 565 00:49:07,480 --> 00:49:12,440 oppressed and they teach our chiefs and our Queens, mothers 566 00:49:12,480 --> 00:49:17,040 and our kings how to uphold righteousness and justice. 567 00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:22,560 If our chieftains institution is well in place, Galam say will 568 00:49:22,640 --> 00:49:27,800 end in a day. Oh true, they are the ones who 569 00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:31,160 can help us. So if we push justice, 570 00:49:31,560 --> 00:49:38,640 righteousness there President, President Muhammad and they will 571 00:49:38,640 --> 00:49:43,640 sleep because our chiefs, they will have the ability to end it. 572 00:49:43,640 --> 00:49:47,080 So As for me, I think that The Chieftains institution can be 573 00:49:47,080 --> 00:49:51,120 strengthened to help us build the Ghana we want. 574 00:49:51,640 --> 00:49:53,840 So we need to go out, please bring it back. 575 00:49:55,480 --> 00:50:02,440 And I mean workers living honestly, honest, living life of 576 00:50:02,440 --> 00:50:06,800 integrity, workers good. We are teaching each other that 577 00:50:06,800 --> 00:50:12,680 as teachers how to live honestly, as GES. 578 00:50:13,240 --> 00:50:15,960 You could read GES. So how can we can influence that 579 00:50:15,960 --> 00:50:20,000 place as Ghana Health Service, as nurses? 580 00:50:20,920 --> 00:50:27,280 Nurses, you'll not just be there and be tik toking while somebody 581 00:50:27,280 --> 00:50:33,120 is dying. Yes, of these things. 582 00:50:33,440 --> 00:50:38,320 The workers Guild are there to push for it and also to uphold 583 00:50:38,320 --> 00:50:42,040 it. So if we do that, we will 584 00:50:42,040 --> 00:50:46,240 transform this war. So it is up to us now to also 585 00:50:46,560 --> 00:50:51,560 identify groups around us that we develop ministries to meet 586 00:50:51,560 --> 00:50:53,760 their needs. That is the bottom line of 587 00:50:53,760 --> 00:50:57,320 Vision 2020. The Church Unleash Unleashing 588 00:50:57,320 --> 00:51:01,920 Agenda simply means that every local church let us identify 589 00:51:02,160 --> 00:51:07,680 groups around us that need help and we develop ministries to 590 00:51:07,720 --> 00:51:12,480 meet their needs by preaching Christ as the fundamental and 591 00:51:12,480 --> 00:51:15,360 then reaching out to their help. That is all the Unleashing 592 00:51:15,360 --> 00:51:22,600 agenda entails way adding we can do it true of us in your own 593 00:51:22,600 --> 00:51:26,200 small way, you can do it in my own small way, I can also be as 594 00:51:26,200 --> 00:51:28,680 a church. We can come together and do it. 595 00:51:29,240 --> 00:51:34,560 So let none of us here say that there is no work for us to do 596 00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:36,840 our church. Hallelujah. 597 00:51:38,480 --> 00:51:42,200 Let me add the last one and end request. 598 00:51:42,240 --> 00:51:46,080 We cannot even finish because there are a lot of things. 599 00:51:46,600 --> 00:51:51,800 The fifth one is that though he was unleashed, but he was 600 00:51:52,080 --> 00:51:56,680 anchored, though unleashed but anchored. 601 00:51:56,720 --> 00:52:05,200 And that would take us to 19 verse 19, Job 2919. 602 00:52:05,200 --> 00:52:10,040 Let us check how it puts it. My roots. 603 00:52:10,560 --> 00:52:13,240 Look at how you know, describing himself. 604 00:52:13,640 --> 00:52:20,800 My roots reach to the water, so we'll be looking at roots and 605 00:52:20,800 --> 00:52:30,440 rich and water, and the dew will lie all night on my branches. 606 00:52:31,560 --> 00:52:37,480 Let's take you from the NLT and let us see that one brings 607 00:52:37,480 --> 00:52:40,000 another. For I am like a tree. 608 00:52:40,680 --> 00:52:43,920 This one paints its will. For I am like what? 609 00:52:44,360 --> 00:52:51,560 A tree whose roots reach the water, whose branches are 610 00:52:51,560 --> 00:52:57,280 refreshed with the dew. The chi one gives it another 611 00:52:57,280 --> 00:53:06,400 form that Mehimu Babu amends you Mehimu the roots a bit with the 612 00:53:06,640 --> 00:53:17,280 open up for what the water and and they will they will dwell on 613 00:53:17,280 --> 00:53:22,680 my let's go go back to English. So this one. 614 00:53:24,240 --> 00:53:27,800 The fifth thing is that as we unleashed, we should also have 615 00:53:27,800 --> 00:53:31,960 our anchor. We should be rooted strength 616 00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:37,040 through divine connection strength so that the source of 617 00:53:37,040 --> 00:53:42,040 strength for Jacob is liking to a tree planted with roots 618 00:53:42,280 --> 00:53:48,960 reaching for the water. The roots had rich, the roots 619 00:53:48,960 --> 00:53:53,440 had what rich. So his roots were not Job was 620 00:53:53,440 --> 00:53:59,080 not a shallow person. I say again, Job was not what a 621 00:53:59,080 --> 00:54:01,640 shallow person. He had depth. 622 00:54:02,640 --> 00:54:08,600 He had rich, longer rich because waters are not just found at the 623 00:54:08,600 --> 00:54:12,480 shallow. As a church, we need to go deep 624 00:54:12,480 --> 00:54:14,840 and draw things from the depths of God. 625 00:54:15,960 --> 00:54:18,000 We need to have rich. We need to go deep down. 626 00:54:19,480 --> 00:54:23,520 Any tree that is shallow is easily uprooted. 627 00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:29,160 Any believer whose roots are shallow is easily swayed by 628 00:54:29,200 --> 00:54:33,800 anything. But if you look at the tree when 629 00:54:33,800 --> 00:54:38,080 the depths, when there's a storm, all trees will fall down, 630 00:54:38,080 --> 00:54:39,680 but that tree will still be remaining. 631 00:54:39,680 --> 00:54:43,920 Why? Because of Rich during the 632 00:54:43,920 --> 00:54:49,520 driest season. Have you seen the palm tree in 633 00:54:49,520 --> 00:54:52,880 the driest season turning brown before? 634 00:54:53,880 --> 00:54:54,600 No. Why? 635 00:54:54,600 --> 00:54:59,520 Because the top roots and the roots the way it is, it can go 636 00:54:59,520 --> 00:55:02,800 do do, do down and so draw nourishment. 637 00:55:02,960 --> 00:55:06,760 So Jub will not just be swayed by anything because he adapts. 638 00:55:07,600 --> 00:55:12,760 We need to have depths. Shallowness will not help you if 639 00:55:12,760 --> 00:55:16,360 you are a shallow believer. You will struggle if God, he 640 00:55:16,480 --> 00:55:25,480 will cry around because when cow sheep good, especially good when 641 00:55:25,480 --> 00:55:31,880 they go to eat. Have you seen a goat chewing a 642 00:55:31,880 --> 00:55:35,600 mighty tree before? They will only chew those who 643 00:55:35,600 --> 00:55:44,440 have the shallow roots of when some Superman refused to be at 644 00:55:44,440 --> 00:55:49,480 the shallow stage. Go deep down, go deep down and 645 00:55:49,480 --> 00:55:54,280 that big tree you see Once Upon a time was a sibling, but with 646 00:55:54,280 --> 00:55:59,880 time, not nourishment, with space, with many things due to 647 00:55:59,880 --> 00:56:02,280 become a mighty tree. So if you have been in Christ 648 00:56:02,280 --> 00:56:06,160 for a long time and you are still a sibling, it means there 649 00:56:06,160 --> 00:56:10,200 is something wrong with you. You are sick with dwarfism. 650 00:56:14,520 --> 00:56:23,440 No, you have gone past. No, there's something wrong 651 00:56:23,440 --> 00:56:26,560 because there is everything wrong with your DNA. 652 00:56:28,560 --> 00:56:30,800 So if I have been in Christ for a long time. 653 00:56:30,800 --> 00:56:35,480 Paul says that you ought to be teachers, but you need to be 654 00:56:35,480 --> 00:56:43,720 taught church being at the shallow stage cost all of us all 655 00:56:43,720 --> 00:56:47,960 my brain because you need to grow quick so that we can handle 656 00:56:47,960 --> 00:56:49,960 some of those who are coming as shallow to you. 657 00:56:50,440 --> 00:56:54,120 But if you always shallow, shallow, shallow scuba and 658 00:56:54,120 --> 00:57:00,480 Haberkwer 10 years without a degree scuba university bank and 659 00:57:00,480 --> 00:57:02,080 you are still there by it's only in church. 660 00:57:03,760 --> 00:57:10,280 No, we were back 10 years nationality ABCD that's then 661 00:57:10,720 --> 00:57:12,720 must stop. You need to grow. 662 00:57:13,640 --> 00:57:18,040 Tell somebody grow grow grow grow grow. 663 00:57:19,360 --> 00:57:25,400 God is waiting for you to grow, and because when you grow, 664 00:57:26,000 --> 00:57:29,240 certain things you are facing now would disappear. 665 00:57:31,040 --> 00:57:38,480 So grow, have a depth, be connected, be connected and be 666 00:57:38,480 --> 00:57:45,840 firmly rooted in Him. Be firmly what otherwise certain 667 00:57:45,840 --> 00:57:49,400 things can seep you off your feet. 668 00:57:49,440 --> 00:57:52,600 May the Lord God Almighty bless us. 669 00:57:53,560 --> 00:57:58,480 We have at least learned about 5 things is left with about two by 670 00:57:58,480 --> 00:58:02,600 only another time because we have sat down for a long time. 671 00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:08,680 Shall we be on our feet. Let us be on our feet as you 672 00:58:08,680 --> 00:58:14,760 pray in a very brief time everything you have heard, think 673 00:58:14,760 --> 00:58:21,880 about it, ponder over it. So Job did not end all that the 674 00:58:22,800 --> 00:58:29,360 things that you had by his He chose service over splendor. 675 00:58:30,400 --> 00:58:36,480 He was unleashed. Today I pray that we choose 676 00:58:36,480 --> 00:58:42,560 service over being in our splendorous states. 677 00:58:43,320 --> 00:58:49,120 Jesus chose service and left his throne and its glory and came on 678 00:58:49,120 --> 00:58:52,360 earth. So living splendor for service 679 00:58:53,200 --> 00:58:59,240 is the way of the Master. And we all should also choose 680 00:58:59,400 --> 00:59:04,800 that path. We all should choose that path. 681 00:59:05,960 --> 00:59:11,400 Talk to the Lord, talk to God that oh God, help me to be like 682 00:59:11,400 --> 00:59:14,120 Job. Help me to be like Job. 683 00:59:15,080 --> 00:59:17,680 Pray to the Lord, ask God for help. 684 00:59:19,120 --> 00:59:28,400 Pray, Pray to the Lord, pray to the Lord, pray to the Lord, pray 685 00:59:28,400 --> 00:59:36,960 to the Lord, pray to the Lord.

Lord, help me to take my sacred 689 00:59:54,960 --> 01:00:01,240 life to fill secular spaces. Pray to the Lord at your 690 01:00:01,240 --> 01:00:03,880 workplace. What can you do? 691 01:00:04,760 --> 01:00:07,920 The Lord gave you, has given your work for a reason. 692 01:00:09,200 --> 01:00:14,880 The Lord knows why He has placed you where you are for a purpose. 693 01:00:15,360 --> 01:00:18,480 You may think that it's just by your own strength, no? 694 01:00:19,400 --> 01:00:22,680 God allowed you to be there because he wants you to 695 01:00:23,360 --> 01:00:28,320 accomplish a certain agenda. Talk to the Lord, our Lord, help 696 01:00:28,320 --> 01:00:33,880 me to take my, my spiritual life to the secular world, to 697 01:00:34,040 --> 01:00:38,440 influence it. Pray about your, your world, 698 01:00:38,960 --> 01:00:42,560 your sphere of influence. Talk to God, our Lord, Help me 699 01:00:42,560 --> 01:00:46,000 to influence it. Help me to influence my sphere 700 01:00:46,720 --> 01:00:52,960 wherever I sit and work, days and weeks in a year, wherever we 701 01:00:52,960 --> 01:00:55,640 sit and we work and we engage many. 702 01:00:56,160 --> 01:00:58,760 Lord, help me to influence that that space. 703 01:00:59,360 --> 01:01:01,960 Lord, help me to influence that space. 704 01:01:03,240 --> 01:01:08,280 In the name of Jesus, in the name of Jesus, in the name of 705 01:01:08,280 --> 01:01:13,440 Jesus. Lord, in the name of Jesus, in 706 01:01:13,440 --> 01:01:49,640 the name of Jesus. For Lord, prepare me, Lord, 707 01:01:49,640 --> 01:02:04,200 prepare, prepare me, Lord, to be a son, pure and holy, fright and 708 01:02:05,560 --> 01:02:09,040 true. With Thanksgiving. 709 01:02:09,960 --> 01:02:13,720 With Thanksgiving. I'll be early. 710 01:02:19,360 --> 01:02:26,360 We want to pray.
