1 00:01:09,240 --> 00:02:20,520 Yeah. I won't try one. 2 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:35,400 Yeah, yeah. 3 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:51,880 Praise the Lord, Oh, I said. Praise the Lord. 4 00:03:53,720 --> 00:04:02,680 Hallelujah. We want to thank God for His 5 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:08,680 faithfulness, for His love, and for His protection. 6 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:14,520 And we want to see. May His grace be sufficient for 7 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:18,640 all of us this morning. Amen. 8 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:26,760 Shall we be on our feet? We just want to pray this 9 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:32,400 morning and ask God of His grace that He shall release His grace 10 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:37,360 upon us this morning as we have come to His presence. 11 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:42,040 You and I will attest to the fact that God has been faithful 12 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:45,920 unto us. You and I will attest to the 13 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:51,720 fact that God has preserved our lives from first January to 14 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:56,800 dates. And this morning I can feel 15 00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:05,840 within my spirit that we should ask of his grace, Thy grace, O 16 00:05:05,840 --> 00:05:20,240 Lord. We need to do thy grace, O Lord. 17 00:05:22,200 --> 00:06:13,040 We need to Lord. If you can't raise your two 18 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:31,920 hands onto the heavens. Nigra's love me. 19 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:56,040 Nigra's love me we need. Now shall you open your mouth 20 00:06:56,200 --> 00:07:15,920 and speak in tongues? May you release your grace upon 21 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:20,840 us this morning. May you release your grace upon 22 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:25,480 us this morning. May you be gracious on to us 23 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:29,600 this morning. May you be gracious on to us 24 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:34,160 this morning. Oh Lord, may you be gracious on 25 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:38,640 to us. May you be gracious on to us. 26 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:46,280 May you be gracious on to us, Lord, may be gracious unto us, 27 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:52,400 may be gracious unto us, may be gracious unto us. 28 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:59,920 Lord may be gracious unto us. Lord may be gracious unto us. 29 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:06,760 Lord may be gracious unto us. Lord may be gracious unto us. 30 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:13,440 Lord may be gracious unto us. Lord may be gracious to us. 31 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:19,640 Lord may be gracious unto us. Lord may be gracious unto us. 32 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:25,400 Lord may be gracious unto us. May be gracious unto your 33 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:28,600 church. Lord may be gracious unto your 34 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,880 people. Lord may be gracious unto us. 35 00:08:33,159 --> 00:08:38,360 May be gracious unto us. Shall we humbly resume our seat? 36 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:09,360 Oh, praise the Lord, Hallelujah. This morning. 37 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:14,320 The grace of God is here and anyone who is going through a 38 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:18,840 situation that demands the grace, the grace has been made 39 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,600 available. Praise the Lord. 40 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,520 This morning I want to speak on the topic, the reward of God, 41 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:30,000 the reward of God, the reward of God. 42 00:09:30,680 --> 00:09:33,720 As you all aware, today's last of our Sunday. 43 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:39,400 This is the day in our church. It is set aside to dine with the 44 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:42,440 Lord. And so this morning is a great 45 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,840 day. It's a great day because God is 46 00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:47,120 giving us the privilege to dine with him. 47 00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,560 Amen. Amen. 48 00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:55,680 And whenever we are celebrating the Lord Supper, the Bible says 49 00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:58,280 we should remember the death of Christ. 50 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,840 When we talk about the death of Christ, we are talking about the 51 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:08,280 sacrifice Jesus made for our sick, the price he paid for our 52 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:11,120 sick. And the Bible says that he came 53 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:16,800 on this earth, He lived like an ordinary human being because of 54 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,760 you and I. And at the long run, the Bible 55 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:24,960 says he gave up his life to pay for our sins. 56 00:10:25,680 --> 00:10:28,880 And when you read scriptures, Bible makes sense to understand 57 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:34,400 that Jesus came on this earth for a purpose, and the purpose 58 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:38,240 for which he came is to come and do the way of the Father. 59 00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:42,760 So we can say that Jesus came on this earth to work. 60 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:47,560 Praise the Lord. Jesus came on this earth to 61 00:10:47,560 --> 00:10:55,040 work, and his work was to come and pay the price of the Saints 62 00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:57,240 of men. Amen. 63 00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,880 The way he reads scripture, Bible says that when Jesus came 64 00:11:02,680 --> 00:11:08,440 and then he completed his work, he completed his work and the 65 00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:10,840 Bible says he died on the third day. 66 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:14,440 He resurrected and then he showed himself to his disciples. 67 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:19,920 When you read Acts chapter one verse 11, the Bible says that 68 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:24,680 after he has brought all his work on this earth to a close 69 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:30,960 and was being lifted, Bible says that is Act chapter one, verse 70 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:34,080 11. Men of maybe let's start from 71 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:42,120 10, let's start from 10. They were looking intently up 72 00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:50,200 into the sky as he was going when suddenly two men dressed in 73 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:57,880 white stood beside them. Men of Galilee, they said, why 74 00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:00,840 do you stand here looking into the sky? 75 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:07,920 This same Jesus who has been taken from you into the heaven 76 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:12,880 will come back in the same way you have seen Him go into 77 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,000 heaven. Amen. 78 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,680 Amen. So Bible is saying that when he 79 00:12:18,680 --> 00:12:23,120 brought his work to an end and then He needed to go back to the 80 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:27,120 Father, the Bible says that there were witnesses and the 81 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:32,400 witnesses saw Jesus being transported, Jesus being carried 82 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:36,640 away into the heavens. And Bible says that as the 83 00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:41,320 disciples and the men available or present were looking up into 84 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:48,960 the sky, the angels of God told them this same Jesus who is 85 00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:52,160 being carried away will come back again. 86 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,720 Amen. So this morning I want to 87 00:12:55,720 --> 00:13:01,280 announce to you that our Savior, the one who has saved us from 88 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:07,600 our sins, the one who has redeemed us from condemnation, 89 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:15,720 this same Jesus who has finished his earth, on his work on this 90 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,360 earth. And as a result of the work he 91 00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:25,160 did, you and I have received, this same Jesus will come back 92 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:29,160 again. At times when we are saying 93 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:35,280 this, some people doubt it. Some people say we started 94 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:37,720 saying this same Jesus will come back again. 95 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:44,280 And it is 2000 years plus now. But this morning my mission here 96 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:48,480 is very simple. I care less whether you believe 97 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,680 it or not. My mission is to declare to you 98 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,000 that this same Jesus will come back again. 99 00:13:56,400 --> 00:14:01,680 Amen. What is reward? 100 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,440 We are talking about the reward of God. 101 00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:10,560 What is reward? One of the definitions maybe I 102 00:14:10,560 --> 00:14:14,720 want to talk about. Reward is a thing, giving in 103 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:19,520 recognition of work, service efforts or achievements. 104 00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:24,760 Reward is a thing, giving in recognition of work, service, 105 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:29,560 efforts or achievements. When you read scriptures, the 106 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:38,320 Bible says because of the work Jesus did on the X and was able 107 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:43,640 to complete it, the Bible says God has given him the name above 108 00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:50,000 every name and that at the mention of the name of Jesus 109 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:57,480 every knee should bow and every tank will confess that Jesus 110 00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:01,000 Christ is Lord. Amen. 111 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:08,760 So what it means is that without wake there is no reward. 112 00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:16,320 Without wake there is no reward. The reason why Jesus has been 113 00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:21,160 uplifted is as a result of the work He did on the earth and 114 00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:27,080 completed successfully. So without work there is no 115 00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:32,240 reward. If we are saying that without 116 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:37,200 work there is no reward, then maybe let's try to find out what 117 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:40,200 is work? What is work? 118 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:46,160 Some of the definitions I found that I want to share with you. 119 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:51,720 Work is an activity involving mental or physical efforts done 120 00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:55,440 in order to achieve a purpose or results. 121 00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:06,000 It is a task to be undertaken. It is to be engaged in physical 122 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:10,560 or mental activity in order to achieve a result. 123 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,760 You could see that all these definitions that I'm trying to 124 00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:22,880 talk about, at the long run it is looking up onto a result. 125 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:28,880 So what it means is that the purpose of work is to achieve a 126 00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:38,160 result. For example, maybe you are what? 127 00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:42,520 A teacher? What is the purpose of your 128 00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:45,880 work? Teacher tell us what is the 129 00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:49,160 purpose? Of the purpose of my work is to 130 00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:51,880 install knowledge and discipline into lengths is. 131 00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:57,080 To install knowledge. So the point I want to put 132 00:16:57,080 --> 00:17:03,680 across here is that every work has a purpose and at the long 133 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:07,240 run it is the results that we are looking at. 134 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:11,720 If I should give you the opportunity to tell us the 135 00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:16,200 purpose of your work, we all have a purpose. 136 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:21,359 Those of us who are into accounting, they will give you a 137 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:26,440 different reason. But all or at the end of it all, 138 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:34,840 it is the result that we are looking at to achieve a result. 139 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:38,480 Amen. Amen. 140 00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:47,520 This morning I want you to understand that all of us seated 141 00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:53,160 here, all of us guarded here, so long as we have come to the 142 00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:57,240 saving knowledge of Christ and we have accepted the Lord Jesus 143 00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:59,800 Christ as our Lord and our Savior. 144 00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:07,080 The Bible says we are the children of God and God has 145 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:12,280 called us to work. You see, when you read 146 00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:18,680 scriptures, when Jesus completed his assignment and then he was 147 00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:22,000 commanding his disciples, one of the commandments he gave them is 148 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:26,360 that go and make disciples of all nations. 149 00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:31,640 And you could see that this instruction that he gave them, 150 00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:35,520 it wasn't optional. It was a command go. 151 00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:41,880 So what it means is that when, Oh yes, when you become a child 152 00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:47,600 of God, the work that God has called you into it is a command. 153 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:51,760 It is not optional unless you are not a child of God. 154 00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:58,440 Praise the Lord, unless you are not a child of God. 155 00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:02,640 So this morning I want you to understand here that so long as 156 00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:06,680 you are a child of God, God has called you to work for Him. 157 00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:11,040 Amen. Amen. 158 00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:19,280 If you read Revelations chapter 22 verse 11 to 12, Revelations 159 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:26,720 chapter 22 verse 11 to 12, he that is unjust, let him be 160 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:32,880 unjust still. And he which is filthy, let him 161 00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:38,680 be filthy still. And he that is righteous, let 162 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:44,720 him be righteous still. And he that is holy, let him be 163 00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:50,760 holy still. And behold, I come quickly, and 164 00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:57,280 my reward is with me to give every man according to his work. 165 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:06,520 To give every man according as his work shall be, to give to 166 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:10,760 everyone according to his work. Amen. 167 00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:16,680 Amen. So here you could see that when 168 00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:23,760 John had the revelation and he was saying what he saw, he's 169 00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:31,480 saying that he that is unjust, let him be unjust and and he 170 00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:34,240 which is filthy, let him be filthy. 171 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,200 And you could see that he enumerated many people. 172 00:20:39,120 --> 00:20:45,520 What I came to realize is that all these people that John 173 00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:53,120 enumerated, they are working. Hello. 174 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:59,920 Those who are unjust, they have chosen to to do that work. 175 00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:05,680 Those who are filthy, they have chosen that path. 176 00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:15,480 Those who are righteous have chosen that path, and he said 177 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:19,160 that those who are holy, they have also chosen that path. 178 00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:26,000 So what it means is that we have many paths, we have many works, 179 00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:31,240 and all these works are in the presence of God. 180 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:35,920 It is not behind Him, it is not at the back of Him. 181 00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:41,200 All these works takes place in the presence of God and so John 182 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:48,160 is saying that whatever category you find yourself in, keep on 183 00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:52,760 keeping on. Amen. 184 00:21:54,760 --> 00:22:00,760 And then the verse of he said, behold, I come quickly and my 185 00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:04,240 reward is with me. So what it means is that 186 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:09,640 wherever you find yourself, you are going to receive a reward. 187 00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:19,680 To give every man according to his work. 188 00:22:20,360 --> 00:22:29,000 So here why is the work. As Jesus is gone, he has 189 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,280 committed his work into our hands. 190 00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:37,480 In other words, Jesus has committed his work into the 191 00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:41,080 hands of the believers. So the day you come to the 192 00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:45,880 saving knowledge of Christ, you are ushered into the wake of 193 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:52,600 God. I want and I want each and every 194 00:22:52,600 --> 00:23:04,560 one of us to understand is that what are you wake for God, or 195 00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:07,880 you don't wake for God? You are working. 196 00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:14,720 What are you wake for? God? 197 00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:17,880 Working for God stands for holiness. 198 00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:21,720 Working for God stands for righteousness. 199 00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:27,080 And if you don't find yourself in righteousness and holiness, 200 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:30,920 you find yourself way in filthiness. 201 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:41,880 You find yourself In Sync. And I want to believe that that 202 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:46,160 is the reason why Paul admonished that we should work 203 00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:55,040 on our salvation. God is expecting that as we have 204 00:23:55,040 --> 00:24:00,080 come to the saving knowledge of Christ, you and I will work on 205 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:04,880 our salvation. Brethren, accepting the Lord 206 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:08,000 Jesus Christ alone is not enough. 207 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:15,880 Yes, it is good to accept Him. Yes, it is good to believe in 208 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:17,240 Him. That is not enough. 209 00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:23,280 He has called us to wake for Him. 210 00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:27,280 And so Paul put it this way. Maybe let me read it. 211 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:31,520 Philippians chapter 12. You can find it in Philippians 212 00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:37,680 chapter 12 verse one to Philippians chapter 2 verse 1 to 213 00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:40,520 12. But for the sake of time, I will 214 00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:45,040 read only the verse 12. Wherefore my? 215 00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:52,680 Beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence 216 00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:59,560 only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own 217 00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:03,280 salvation with hear and trembling. 218 00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:09,680 Not as in my. Presence only. 219 00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:16,160 But now. Much more in my absence, Yeah. 220 00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:21,040 I don't know what Paul was trying to talk about, but I want 221 00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:25,760 to believe that he was addressing the problem of high 222 00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:30,040 service. He said not only in. 223 00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:35,120 My presence, but in my absence. You know there are some 224 00:25:35,120 --> 00:25:41,480 believers when they need to work in the presence of people, their 225 00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:46,720 work is different, but in the absence of people, the work is 226 00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:52,200 different and one. Of the. 227 00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:58,840 Maybe Bible characters we can cite as an example is Joseph. 228 00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:06,440 You could see that. One Potiphar's wife wanted to 229 00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:10,520 have an affair with Joseph. No one knew about it. 230 00:26:11,360 --> 00:26:15,600 Joseph could have decided to have an affair with Potiphar's 231 00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:18,240 wife and no one will know about it. 232 00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:26,080 But Joseph recognized, Joseph saw that the work, the service, 233 00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:33,840 the worship to God should be in absence and in presence. 234 00:26:35,360 --> 00:26:37,600 Amen. Amen. 235 00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:44,520 It's just like, let me use our church, for example, maybe we 236 00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:49,280 are coming for a program and then I stand here and see, maybe 237 00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:51,000 tomorrow I will not come to church. 238 00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:53,440 If I say tomorrow, I will not come to church. 239 00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:58,120 Some of you may not come because presiding idea is not there or 240 00:26:58,120 --> 00:27:02,920 the pasta is not there. Have you done it before? 241 00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:10,680 Oh Moncano cracker cry. That's why we call it. 242 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:14,920 Eye service or you know, software we say, or you know or 243 00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:18,560 you know presiding who saw you know, so that whenever there is 244 00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:22,840 the need for us to maybe get new officers or whatever the 245 00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:27,560 intention is to get something to catch the eye of the leader. 246 00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:32,120 So Paul says we. Should work out our own 247 00:27:32,120 --> 00:27:33,920 salvation with fear and trembling. 248 00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:36,880 And they're working out of salvation. 249 00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:43,120 It is done in the presence of God, in the presence of men. 250 00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:47,080 And even if men are not there, we should know that God is there 251 00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:54,920 all the time, free car, free whatever bonuses, dressing 252 00:27:54,920 --> 00:28:01,440 allowance, phone call allowance, and then what hospital allowance 253 00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:07,560 and everything. And all he ask of you is, sleep 254 00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:17,800 with me. Praise the Lord, we believe in 255 00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:21,440 the Bible. And believing in the. 256 00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:27,200 Bible is wake and God is expecting that whether rain or 257 00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:31,160 shine, in every situation, whether favorable or 258 00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:34,600 unfavorable, we shall believe in the Bible. 259 00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:39,560 Amen. There is this evangelism song 260 00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:43,000 which says one more day, One more day. 261 00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:51,280 One Sanko. Sheba, praise the Lord. 262 00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:56,040 So the Bible is the mirror of the believer. 263 00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:58,920 In other words, it is the manual. 264 00:28:59,920 --> 00:29:02,120 Of the wake God. Has called us into. 265 00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:08,280 Amen. The next thing we believe? 266 00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:13,480 In is the one through God that we shall not serve any other God 267 00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:21,160 but Elohim, that we will be careful not to create other 268 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:25,640 goals for ourselves. The Bible says anything we love 269 00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:31,040 more than God becomes our God. And in our dispensation, you 270 00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:34,160 could realize that there are some people who have come to the 271 00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:39,080 saving knowledge of Christ, yet they love money, yet they love. 272 00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:45,200 They love their work. So much that if you put the work 273 00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:49,120 and God for him to choose what he will choose the work, and he 274 00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:51,520 will tell you that it is the work that feeds me. 275 00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:58,360 That is true, That is true, but we shall be careful to believe 276 00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:04,000 in the One through God, Jehovah, Elohim, praise the Lord. 277 00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:07,920 We shall believe in the One through God. 278 00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:16,560 What do you believe in? What do you love more than God? 279 00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:23,920 Now we shall believe. And you see believing in the one 280 00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:30,000 through God through a swag. It is swag on your Bible. 281 00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:34,200 Bible says God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit, 282 00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:36,960 the whole one. I told me be sagging away. 283 00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:40,640 If you want to understand it with your human mind, if you 284 00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:45,240 want to take care, you go crazy. And that is what Bible is. 285 00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:52,160 Saying whether you believe it or not, God is the same as the Son, 286 00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:55,440 is the same as the Holy Spirit, and that we shall believe in 287 00:30:55,520 --> 00:31:00,720 only God. What is difficult in? 288 00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:05,800 This your own is to believe. And you leave the rest for. 289 00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:08,440 God. And some people will. 290 00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:14,880 Worry themselves trying to understand. 291 00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:22,880 Well, you see, when you believe so, Ujidiya, God himself, knows 292 00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:25,760 how to. Take care of your. 293 00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:29,960 Mental for you to understand. Amen. 294 00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:32,120 We. Also believe in the. 295 00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:36,880 Depraved nature of humanity, we believe that for all have seen 296 00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:38,560 and come short of the glory of God. 297 00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:40,960 When Adam was sinning, I wasn't there. 298 00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:46,120 In fact, when my grandfather was doing his idolatry things, I 299 00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:49,240 wasn't there. But the Bible is saying that I 300 00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:54,400 have seen. The Bible is saying I have. 301 00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:56,360 Sinned. The Bible is saying you have 302 00:31:56,360 --> 00:32:01,840 sinned, and the work here is that we will accept that we are 303 00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:05,320 sinners. Who bet? 304 00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:13,760 She had to say. We are audible in praise the 305 00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:17,640 Lord. You see, if you don't accept it, 306 00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:23,400 if you don't accept it, you cannot accept Jesus. 307 00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:27,640 Some people say. As for me, I don't think. 308 00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:31,080 As for me, I don't commit adultery. 309 00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:33,640 As for me, I don't commit fornication. 310 00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:36,360 Some people will even go to the extent of saying that. 311 00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:43,280 As for me, I always give arms. And he doesn't see the need and 312 00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:50,760 the importance of accepting the Lord Jesus Christ. 313 00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:56,240 Until you get to the point of realizing that you are a Sinner, 314 00:32:57,240 --> 00:33:00,440 you cannot and that one too is awake. 315 00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:04,440 And that is the reason why why we go out to preach the gospel 316 00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:06,960 or whenever we are going, we need to pray. 317 00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:13,080 Because you see, for the person to accept the gospel that we are 318 00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:16,960 preaching to him or her. It takes. 319 00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:21,840 The Holy Spirit to convict. Hello. 320 00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:26,240 It takes the Holy Spirit to convict. 321 00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:30,400 And that is why it is very. Important Whenever we are going 322 00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:36,160 for evangelism, we need to pray. November being the month of 323 00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:41,440 aggressive evangelism, and it is expected of each and every one 324 00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:44,640 of us to win at least a soul for God. 325 00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:49,760 We need to pray. Before we embark on evangelism. 326 00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:55,360 If you don't pray. And you don't take care before 327 00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:59,000 you realize the Sinner will win you. 328 00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:05,600 It's a sad of someone who went to a prostitute joint to go and 329 00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:14,320 preach to the prostitute before he realized praise the Lord. 330 00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:18,600 And you see, because of time, maybe I'll read the rest and 331 00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:23,199 then we progress. The next one is the. 332 00:34:23,199 --> 00:34:27,199 Savior, that because I am a Sinner, that because you're a 333 00:34:27,199 --> 00:34:31,840 Sinner, the only one who can save me is the Lord Jesus. 334 00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:35,440 The only one who can save you is the Lord Jesus. 335 00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:38,480 That you will believe, and also your ejuma. 336 00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:45,719 The next one is repentance after we have come to believe. 337 00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:50,239 After we have accepted. That we are sinners. 338 00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:54,600 And then we have come to the point of believing and accepting 339 00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:57,840 Jesus Christ. After you have accepted Him, 340 00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:02,920 after I have accepted Him, it is expected that we shall leave. 341 00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:07,080 I cannot say we shall repent from our sins. 342 00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:13,280 Hello, we shall repent from our sins. 343 00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:17,800 You cannot accept. Him. 344 00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:21,320 And then leave. Your old life. 345 00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:27,880 You cannot accept. Him. 346 00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:32,320 And do your the. Things you used to do before. 347 00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:36,120 In our. Dispensation. 348 00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:40,240 I have come to realize that there are some people who have 349 00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:47,080 accepted the Lord Jesus Christ, yet they live like before. 350 00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:52,040 If you come to the serving knowledge of Christ, if you 351 00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:54,960 accept the Lord Jesus Christ, you must obey Him. 352 00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:59,280 So before you came if you used to drink alcohol. 353 00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:03,040 When you accept him. You must stop. 354 00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:07,920 That is repentance before you came. 355 00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:13,680 If you were into soccer beds, when you come, you must stop. 356 00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:17,360 But what is so sad?

You're an armed robber. 397 00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:10,960 You have killed 20 people. You have killed 30 people. 398 00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:15,680 The Bible says that when you accept the Lord Jesus Christ and 399 00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:20,000 you repent the moment you repent you that person, you have been 400 00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:22,400 justified and you have been sanctified. 401 00:40:23,720 --> 00:40:30,520 And this is the gospel And you see, when you get to this point, 402 00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:35,320 you need to live a free life or be a with the ponies are now 403 00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:38,160 video and hunting. No, no. 404 00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:42,160 The Bible says when you accept Him and you repent, you that 405 00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:47,080 person, you are just justified and you are sanctified and that 406 00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:50,840 is the Bible. Tom Ribi at this time is very 407 00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:52,880 simple. How can it be? 408 00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:57,360 But that is it, and that is the Bible. 409 00:40:59,720 --> 00:41:03,480 The ordinance of. Baptism and the Law Supper when 410 00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:07,240 you come to the serving knowledge of Christ Jesus being 411 00:41:07,240 --> 00:41:11,280 an example, the Bible says he allowed himself to be baptized. 412 00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:17,720 Meaning that we are. Dead to sin and we live for 413 00:41:17,720 --> 00:41:24,200 righteousness and the Lord supper that we shall partake in 414 00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:29,680 the Lord supper, that we shall partake in the Lord supper. 415 00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:32,920 And you see all these things that I'm talking about, These 416 00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:38,360 are things that you have to be mentally, mentally hurt. 417 00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:45,560 As I said, we are watching say Uber this Sonowaya, not some, 418 00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:52,880 but all all. How can you be a Christian who 419 00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:55,560 comes to church all the time, yet you don't partake in the 420 00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:58,320 Lord Supper so. Should you die now? 421 00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:06,560 Should you die now, one of the work expected of us is that we 422 00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:09,800 shall live a righteous life and be able to dine with him on the 423 00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:11,920 set. And the Bible says that he who 424 00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:15,320 dies me with me on this earth, I will dine with him in heaven. 425 00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:17,840 And then you, yes, you have accepted him. 426 00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:22,280 Yes, you come to church, yet you live or you do something that is 427 00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:25,240 preventing you from dining with him on this earth. 428 00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:27,600 So should something happen and you die now? 429 00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:31,200 How can you dine with? Him in heaven. 430 00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:37,280 And so you see that all. These things demands intentional 431 00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:40,640 efforts. And anything that. 432 00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:43,440 Demands intentional effort is work. 433 00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:49,440 Baptism gifts and. Fruits of the Holy Spirit. 434 00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:53,440 Baptism. Gifts. 435 00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:57,080 And the fruit of the Holy. Spirit, that you shall be 436 00:42:57,080 --> 00:43:02,040 baptized by the Holy Ghost, that you shall receive the gifts of 437 00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:07,600 the spirits, and that we obey the fruits of the spirits. 438 00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:12,080 And doing all these. Things demands intentional 439 00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:15,880 efforts. You cannot tell me that you are 440 00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:18,960 a child of God and you not forgive. 441 00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:25,160 You cannot tell me that you are a child of God and you live your 442 00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:28,400 life anyhow. Hello. 443 00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:33,480 There was one time a pastor who said that As for me, I don't 444 00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:36,160 like preaching or forgiveness because me, I don't forgive. 445 00:43:39,240 --> 00:43:40,680 Not in our church. Somewhere. 446 00:43:48,540 --> 00:43:52,980 And then tighten. Offering tighten, offering 447 00:43:55,420 --> 00:43:59,460 tighten, offering. It is wake. 448 00:44:00,860 --> 00:44:04,140 There was this man who did not have wake. 449 00:44:07,380 --> 00:44:11,100 In fact, he worked before and then he lost the wake and then. 450 00:44:12,260 --> 00:44:13,740 Someone dashed. Him. 451 00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:18,600 And that person is. A church officer, someone dash 452 00:44:18,600 --> 00:44:25,240 him 10,000 Ghana 10,001 brew and then they dash him and head 453 00:44:25,240 --> 00:44:29,760 down. And then you could see that the 454 00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:32,040 reason why I'm saying you could see that the man was struggling 455 00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:34,520 is because he came to pose a question. 456 00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:37,840 And the question he came to pose me is that Edda. 457 00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:43,120 Would be actually. 10,000 and also as a cemetery are tighter 458 00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:46,920 now, hey?

So you see that believing in 461 00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:04,440 tithes and offering it is work. The moment you receive. 462 00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:07,680 Your money that you need to pay, your tithes, that is when you 463 00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:12,600 remember your problems. That is when you begin. 464 00:45:12,600 --> 00:45:16,040 To do calculation, you remember that you must pay school fees. 465 00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:18,200 You must do this. You must do that. 466 00:45:20,680 --> 00:45:25,480 On this one. You have to be mentally strong 467 00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:32,400 to. Comply at times. 468 00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:35,400 It got to the point. That oh, let me borrow from it's 469 00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:37,600 more your movie.

But you see, when you come to 475 00:46:03,160 --> 00:46:06,560 the saving knowledge of Christ, we need to come to the point of 476 00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:09,760 understanding that everything you have belongs to God. 477 00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:13,640 When you get to this point, when you are paying your tithe, you 478 00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:16,520 not struggle and when we are giving offering, you not 479 00:46:16,520 --> 00:46:19,200 struggle.

You not struggle in our 482 00:46:27,080 --> 00:46:29,640 dispensation. It is difficult for a Christian 483 00:46:29,640 --> 00:46:33,240 to give his money to support the work of God and walk home. 484 00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:35,640 Look at what Wendly people are doing. 485 00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:39,080 People work from Independence Square to Kasua. 486 00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:42,520 Or not Africa. Swaggers to come and see 487 00:46:42,520 --> 00:46:44,920 Chatawali and then walk back home. 488 00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:49,600 There is no problem with it. But when you give your money to 489 00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:55,320 support the work of God, you the same person with channel now? 490 00:46:55,320 --> 00:47:06,000 Sorry not Jimmy CK. We believe in divine healing. 491 00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:10,640 We believe in the second coming and the next life and then we 492 00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:13,080 believe in marriage and family, maybe their marriage. 493 00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:16,440 Let me talk briefly about it. We believe in marriage and 494 00:47:16,440 --> 00:47:19,560 family life. We believe in male and female 495 00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:22,320 marriage. We don't believe in male and 496 00:47:22,320 --> 00:47:24,920 male or female or female, female and female. 497 00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:28,800 We don't believe in human being, marrying an animal. 498 00:47:30,440 --> 00:47:36,040 And also we believe that one man, one woman. 499 00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:43,960 Can you repeat after me? We believe that one man, one 500 00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:46,520 woman, if. I had a woman. 501 00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:54,000 Now I'm alakai some people get married to one wife yet they 502 00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:58,640 have side chick. Maybe be before you. 503 00:47:58,640 --> 00:48:00,440 Came to the saving knowledge of Christ. 504 00:48:00,760 --> 00:48:03,680 You you, you are married to two women. 505 00:48:04,120 --> 00:48:10,520 The moment you come into this work and you repent, you must do 506 00:48:10,520 --> 00:48:13,440 away with one. And the one you must do away 507 00:48:13,440 --> 00:48:16,320 with is the second one, not the first one. 508 00:48:16,840 --> 00:48:18,640 If you are not second one and I open up. 509 00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:23,960 The Bible says. The first one is your wife, and 510 00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:27,400 if you're able to do away with it, that is what we call 511 00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:31,240 repentance. But if you struggle. 512 00:48:31,840 --> 00:48:35,800 To do away with it, it means you haven't repented and if you 513 00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:38,640 don't repent, it will be difficult for you to be 514 00:48:38,640 --> 00:48:41,480 justified and it will be difficult for you to be 515 00:48:41,480 --> 00:48:43,720 sanctified. It means you are living in your 516 00:48:43,720 --> 00:48:46,200 own nature. Hello. 517 00:48:47,720 --> 00:48:52,880 You know dispensation people are doing it and it is even coming 518 00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:54,520 into the church. I said no one thing. 519 00:48:54,920 --> 00:48:58,240 Some people are in the church, they are married, yet they have 520 00:48:58,280 --> 00:49:02,600 their girlfriends in the church. Some of the ladies to you. 521 00:49:02,600 --> 00:49:06,800 Know that this man is married and so now what talent and you 522 00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:10,760 come to church. Hello. 523 00:49:11,560 --> 00:49:15,280 Why do you do that? You are not doing the work of 524 00:49:15,280 --> 00:49:19,400 God. You are not doing the. 525 00:49:19,400 --> 00:49:23,560 Work of God when you read Matthew chapter 25, maybe let me 526 00:49:23,560 --> 00:49:25,560 talk about the specific work also. 527 00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:27,960 Then I bring the way to a cruise. 528 00:49:28,560 --> 00:49:33,960 So this one I just mentioned the the tenants of the church, which 529 00:49:33,960 --> 00:49:40,800 summarizes the general work that God is expecting from every 530 00:49:40,800 --> 00:49:43,400 believer who comes to the saving knowledge of Christ. 531 00:49:44,200 --> 00:49:49,280 We have the specific work and maybe the Bible tests I want us 532 00:49:49,280 --> 00:49:53,760 to read is Matthew chapter 25 verse 14 to 30. 533 00:49:54,640 --> 00:49:59,520 Matthew 25 verse 14 to 30. It talks about the parable of 534 00:49:59,520 --> 00:50:01,800 the talent. Because of time I will no read, 535 00:50:02,600 --> 00:50:09,320 but you could see that the Bible says the master called three 536 00:50:09,320 --> 00:50:12,520 people. From this you could realize that 537 00:50:12,880 --> 00:50:17,280 there were many people, just as we have many people here, but he 538 00:50:17,280 --> 00:50:20,560 called only three out of the many. 539 00:50:21,840 --> 00:50:26,000 So you could see that these people, the master, gave them a 540 00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:30,240 specific work. So should you bring it to our 541 00:50:30,240 --> 00:50:34,840 church? The church leaders, like the 542 00:50:34,880 --> 00:50:42,200 elder, the Deacon, the deaconess, the ministry leader, 543 00:50:43,120 --> 00:50:49,320 the church worker, the drama, the keyboardist, the what? 544 00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:54,120 Everybody who is doing something in the House of God. 545 00:50:55,320 --> 00:51:01,080 That is the specific wake. I know from the scripture. 546 00:51:01,080 --> 00:51:05,960 You could realize that when the Master called them He. 547 00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:07,480 Gave them the. Talent. 548 00:51:08,200 --> 00:51:12,000 After he gave them the talent, he gave them a specific 549 00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:14,840 instruction. Go and. 550 00:51:14,840 --> 00:51:19,080 Work. With it so on sets, they knew 551 00:51:19,880 --> 00:51:24,280 why the Master gave them the talent from the beginning. 552 00:51:24,400 --> 00:51:26,880 They knew. If they did not know, it is 553 00:51:26,880 --> 00:51:30,080 different. Just like in our case. 554 00:51:30,320 --> 00:51:33,800 I think last Tuesday I spoke about it when we met US 555 00:51:33,800 --> 00:51:38,240 officers. In our case, before we call you 556 00:51:38,280 --> 00:51:42,640 from among the people, we'll call you to the local presbytery 557 00:51:43,240 --> 00:51:46,720 and then we'll interview you. Maybe if we are calling you to 558 00:51:46,720 --> 00:51:49,720 become a Deacon, we'll ask you the work of the Deacon. 559 00:51:50,440 --> 00:51:53,440 And then before you come, you will learn all these things. 560 00:51:53,640 --> 00:51:56,920 We'll ask you that the tenants of the church who ask you Bible, 561 00:51:56,920 --> 00:52:00,240 Scripture, and you mentioned all at the local presbytery. 562 00:52:00,600 --> 00:52:04,200 Then we saw why are there. Then we push you to the 563 00:52:04,200 --> 00:52:06,480 district. District will interview you 564 00:52:06,800 --> 00:52:08,920 there too. Why are they now? 565 00:52:08,920 --> 00:52:12,440 We push you to area. Area we interview, interview 566 00:52:13,480 --> 00:52:15,640 you. If you pass there, then you'll 567 00:52:15,640 --> 00:52:19,760 be ordained. You cannot tell me that someone 568 00:52:19,760 --> 00:52:22,280 is a Deacon without knowing the duties of a Deacon. 569 00:52:22,720 --> 00:52:26,720 Considering the processes that we go through before we ordain 570 00:52:26,720 --> 00:52:28,440 an officer, you cannot tell me that. 571 00:52:30,120 --> 00:52:34,760 So what it also. Means is that before 1 comes 572 00:52:35,960 --> 00:52:40,920 into the specific work or the specific call, he knows his 573 00:52:40,920 --> 00:52:47,600 duties are men. And then in our case, when? 574 00:52:47,600 --> 00:52:51,800 You go through all these processes and then the apostle 575 00:52:51,800 --> 00:52:56,440 who is going to pray for you or ordain you, he will ask you. 576 00:52:57,360 --> 00:53:02,720 He will not just pray for you, He will ask you again and then 577 00:53:02,720 --> 00:53:08,000 you respond, yes, I will do the Lord be my help. 578 00:53:12,240 --> 00:53:17,560 So I am comparing this call to the talent that was given to 579 00:53:17,600 --> 00:53:21,200 these three people. So you could see that in our 580 00:53:21,200 --> 00:53:26,320 church, no one can just wake up one day and say, I am a Deacon. 581 00:53:26,400 --> 00:53:29,640 I've never seen it before. No one can wake up. 582 00:53:29,640 --> 00:53:33,000 And say I am an elder, no one can wake up and say I am a 583 00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:38,640 presiding no. So what it means is. 584 00:53:38,640 --> 00:53:42,840 That the structures are in such a way that before you come in, 585 00:53:42,880 --> 00:53:46,960 you know. And then they pray. 586 00:53:46,960 --> 00:53:50,240 For me. And they make me a Deacon, they 587 00:53:50,240 --> 00:53:55,000 make me a deaconess, they make me an elder, they make me a 588 00:53:55,040 --> 00:53:57,960 presiding elder, they make me the ministry leader. 589 00:53:59,800 --> 00:54:05,000 And then when they pray for me, God is expecting that I work. 590 00:54:06,880 --> 00:54:11,200 As an elder. As a Deacon, As a deaconess, and 591 00:54:11,200 --> 00:54:14,560 I will make profit for him. What work am I supposed to do? 592 00:54:15,040 --> 00:54:18,000 I say Deacon. It is expected that before we 593 00:54:18,000 --> 00:54:22,120 come to church, you make sure the auditorium is set up, 594 00:54:22,520 --> 00:54:27,160 everything is right. Because of that, I don't want 595 00:54:27,160 --> 00:54:28,920 to. Mention, but we know the duties 596 00:54:28,920 --> 00:54:31,320 of the Deacon. We know the duties, and those 597 00:54:31,320 --> 00:54:33,320 are the works we are talking about. 598 00:54:34,880 --> 00:54:37,680 Hello. Oh, are you here? 599 00:54:38,800 --> 00:54:45,400 You. And then we are handed over or 600 00:54:45,400 --> 00:54:51,440 we are called into the office. The Bible says that what the 601 00:54:51,480 --> 00:54:57,200 Master gave them the talent. Two of them they worked and one 602 00:54:57,200 --> 00:55:04,440 of them he went to hit the talent in the soil or in the 603 00:55:04,440 --> 00:55:07,160 ground. And the Bible says that what the 604 00:55:07,160 --> 00:55:10,800 master came and it was time for accountability. 605 00:55:10,800 --> 00:55:16,400 The 1st 2 they gave account but the third one he said Master I 606 00:55:16,400 --> 00:55:19,960 knew that. Can you project the comments of 607 00:55:19,960 --> 00:55:23,560 the last person to me? Hello. 608 00:55:24,800 --> 00:55:30,520 So what it means is that there are some of us who have been 609 00:55:30,520 --> 00:55:32,960 called, we have received a specific call. 610 00:55:34,160 --> 00:55:38,840 Is it that we are doing? Our things like the first two or 611 00:55:38,840 --> 00:55:44,040 the last one. Now the question here is which 612 00:55:44,040 --> 00:55:47,200 group or we are doing our things like which one. 613 00:55:47,800 --> 00:55:51,760 The reason why I am bringing this to our notice is that. 614 00:55:53,240 --> 00:55:57,200 The three were called. From among the many, just like 615 00:55:57,200 --> 00:56:01,480 in our church, whenever we need offices, we need pastors. 616 00:56:02,040 --> 00:56:05,400 We'll not go and fetch them from outside, but we'll fetch them 617 00:56:05,400 --> 00:56:08,920 from here. So my mission this morning is to 618 00:56:08,920 --> 00:56:13,640 draw your attention to the fact that whenever you are called, 619 00:56:14,320 --> 00:56:18,920 whenever you are giving the specific wake, you are going to 620 00:56:18,920 --> 00:56:24,760 give account of it. Hello, in other ways they raise 621 00:56:24,800 --> 00:56:30,680 a reward for the wake. So when you read the Bible is 622 00:56:30,680 --> 00:56:36,200 saying that when the master came and they gave account the 1st 2 623 00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:41,240 they gave positive account and you could see that when they 624 00:56:41,240 --> 00:56:45,160 gave the positive account, the master rewarded them. 625 00:56:46,200 --> 00:56:51,080 The master rewarded them and then the last one when he came 626 00:56:51,080 --> 00:56:55,360 to give the account, the master also did what rewarded him. 627 00:56:57,520 --> 00:57:01,640 Hello. So why can't you do it or you 628 00:57:01,640 --> 00:57:06,960 don't do it, you'll be rewarded. Amen. 629 00:57:11,680 --> 00:57:15,840 Then the man who had received one bag of gold came Master. 630 00:57:15,840 --> 00:57:20,720 He said I knew that you are a ha Batman. 631 00:57:24,160 --> 00:57:27,880 Harvesting where? You have not sown and God and 632 00:57:27,880 --> 00:57:31,040 you see this kind of people in their church when they become 633 00:57:31,040 --> 00:57:34,480 officers, they are the type of people who always criticize the 634 00:57:34,480 --> 00:57:37,320 church. When he was coming in, the 635 00:57:37,320 --> 00:57:40,520 church was the church. He knew how the church was. 636 00:57:40,960 --> 00:57:48,240 He didn't criticize. But when they criticize hello. 637 00:57:52,880 --> 00:57:56,320 Harvesting where you have. Not sown and gathering where you 638 00:57:56,320 --> 00:58:00,680 have not scattered seed. Please continue. 639 00:58:00,880 --> 00:58:06,600 So I was afraid and went out and hit your gold in the ground. 640 00:58:06,600 --> 00:58:09,680 See, here is what's belong to you. 641 00:58:09,680 --> 00:58:13,440 Continue, please. His master replied. 642 00:58:13,520 --> 00:58:18,320 You wicked lazy servant. So what it means is that any 643 00:58:18,320 --> 00:58:22,040 person who fails to wake, especially those of us who have 644 00:58:22,040 --> 00:58:25,880 received a specific call, whenever we fail to wake in the 645 00:58:25,880 --> 00:58:34,000 sight of God, we are wicked. Lazy servant. 646 00:58:34,600 --> 00:58:39,800 So you knew that I harvest where I have not soon and gather where 647 00:58:39,800 --> 00:58:42,960 I have not scattered seed. Please pause here and let me 648 00:58:42,960 --> 00:58:45,640 pass this comment. You see, let me tell you this. 649 00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:48,000 There are some people in the church. 650 00:58:48,360 --> 00:58:52,760 When they come into the church, their interest is is to come 651 00:58:52,760 --> 00:58:54,360 into the leadership of the church. 652 00:58:55,080 --> 00:58:58,000 I want to become a Dickie. I want to become a Dickens. 653 00:58:58,200 --> 00:59:01,680 I want to become an elder. And some people, they try to 654 00:59:01,680 --> 00:59:06,560 work their way out. They try to work in JBR. 655 00:59:06,760 --> 00:59:11,600 So on the presiding, oh, let me go and give presiding a gift or 656 00:59:11,600 --> 00:59:15,920 the gift in the paper. And now let me visit pastor. 657 00:59:16,240 --> 00:59:19,800 I'm not saying don't bring me gift, bring it, I'll collect it. 658 00:59:20,920 --> 00:59:23,400 But you see, the motive is what I'm talking about. 659 00:59:24,240 --> 00:59:28,680 The motive is that I'll catch his eye so that they will see 660 00:59:28,680 --> 00:59:32,920 that or Yemi Dick in a year or Yemi Dick in a year. 661 00:59:33,880 --> 00:59:37,440 If you have this mentality, I want to tell you that when 662 00:59:37,440 --> 00:59:39,360 you're coming. Wait. 663 00:59:42,320 --> 00:59:44,560 Hello. I see such people when they're 664 00:59:44,560 --> 00:59:48,200 coming. Open movie are on your shit now. 665 00:59:48,200 --> 00:59:51,720 Open movie are you should know that you have taken 666 00:59:51,720 --> 00:59:54,640 responsibility upon yourself. That's what I'm saying. 667 00:59:54,640 --> 00:59:57,920 We have the general wake and a specific wake. 668 00:59:58,280 --> 01:00:02,720 So I standing here as an elder of the church, I'm going to 669 01:00:02,720 --> 01:00:06,400 receive a reward. For the general wake and I'm 670 01:00:06,400 --> 01:00:09,320 going to receive the reward for the specific wake. 671 01:00:09,920 --> 01:00:25,330 What a wake. Let me also say this. 672 01:00:25,370 --> 01:00:26,930 Because of time, maybe I should rush. 673 01:00:27,170 --> 01:00:35,530 I should rush, But please people of God, people of God, God has 674 01:00:35,530 --> 01:00:41,480 called us to wake. Matthew, Chapter 20. 675 01:00:41,480 --> 01:00:54,650 Verse 1 to 16 Matthew chapter 20 verse 1 to 16 it talks about for 676 01:00:54,650 --> 01:00:58,370 the Kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in 677 01:00:58,370 --> 01:01:01,370 the morning to hire workers for his vineyard. 678 01:01:03,930 --> 01:01:07,250 He agreed to pay. Them a denarius for the day and 679 01:01:07,250 --> 01:01:10,090 send them into his vineyard. I believe you all know this 680 01:01:10,090 --> 01:01:14,880 story, but here you could see that when the landowner called 681 01:01:14,880 --> 01:01:19,120 the people to come and wake those he called, initially he 682 01:01:19,120 --> 01:01:23,240 bargained with them on how much he's going to pay them. 683 01:01:24,000 --> 01:01:29,520 And the Bible is saying that he called people at different times 684 01:01:30,480 --> 01:01:36,120 and then during the closing of the day he called other people 685 01:01:36,560 --> 01:01:40,040 to also come and wake at the end of the day. 686 01:01:40,920 --> 01:01:44,960 The landowner paid all of them equally. 687 01:01:47,080 --> 01:01:50,000 And then the one who? Bargained with the landowner. 688 01:01:51,840 --> 01:01:55,880 Was unhappy with. Him and he was complaining, but 689 01:01:55,920 --> 01:01:59,280 I came in the morning. These people, they just came 690 01:01:59,280 --> 01:02:03,160 closing of the day. How come you are paying us or 691 01:02:03,160 --> 01:02:08,240 you are rewarding us the same? What I want to tell you this? 692 01:02:08,240 --> 01:02:12,200 Morning is that no one determines the reward you 693 01:02:12,200 --> 01:02:14,960 receive from the Master except from him. 694 01:02:16,440 --> 01:02:20,640 Hello. No one determines the reward you 695 01:02:20,640 --> 01:02:24,120 receive from the Master. I will receive from the Master 696 01:02:24,600 --> 01:02:26,720 except him. This one. 697 01:02:27,320 --> 01:02:29,720 It doesn't matter when you came into the church. 698 01:02:30,360 --> 01:02:33,040 It doesn't matter when you came to the saving knowledge of 699 01:02:33,040 --> 01:02:36,800 Christ. What matters is that you have 700 01:02:36,800 --> 01:02:40,920 done the work of the Master. Praise the Lord. 701 01:02:41,800 --> 01:02:44,640 At times some people will be working in the church. 702 01:02:45,200 --> 01:02:47,480 That's what a church. We have suffered for the Church 703 01:02:47,840 --> 01:02:51,920 when you wait up then or by. I remember one time I. 704 01:02:51,920 --> 01:02:54,720 Told you people here that if we don't take care a time will 705 01:02:54,720 --> 01:02:56,920 come. God will bring people from the 706 01:02:56,920 --> 01:03:01,840 back to come and take over and if you don't take care and it 707 01:03:01,840 --> 01:03:05,680 get to that stage that is when some people in their church will 708 01:03:05,680 --> 01:03:11,760 be memory. Hello. 709 01:03:13,040 --> 01:03:19,720 This morning God has asked me to come and tell you that He's 710 01:03:19,720 --> 01:03:27,320 coming quickly and as He's coming, He's going to reward 711 01:03:27,320 --> 01:03:32,440 everyone according to His works. And maybe the last Bible. 712 01:03:32,440 --> 01:03:35,720 Scripture I want us to take is Revelations chapter 14, verse 713 01:03:35,720 --> 01:03:40,280 13. Revelation Chapter. 14 And I 714 01:03:40,280 --> 01:03:44,560 heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Right, blessed are the 715 01:03:44,560 --> 01:03:49,800 dead which die in the Lord from henceforth, yeah, see as the 716 01:03:49,800 --> 01:03:55,600 spirit, that they may rest in their limits, and their works do 717 01:03:55,600 --> 01:03:56,400 follow them. They are. 718 01:03:56,680 --> 01:03:59,240 Give me the NIV. Let me see, let me see what this 719 01:03:59,240 --> 01:04:04,680 is. Then I heard a voice from heaven 720 01:04:04,680 --> 01:04:10,560 say, write this, Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from 721 01:04:10,560 --> 01:04:14,120 now on. Yes, says the Spirit, they will 722 01:04:14,120 --> 01:04:19,920 rest from their liver, and for their deeds will follow them. 723 01:04:20,960 --> 01:04:23,880 Hello. So what it means is that even if 724 01:04:23,880 --> 01:04:27,600 we die in the Lord, our works will follow us. 725 01:04:28,720 --> 01:04:33,640 Why will our works follow us? Because we shall be rewarded 726 01:04:33,680 --> 01:04:40,720 according to our wakes, You shall be rewarded according to 727 01:04:41,440 --> 01:04:45,440 your wakes. So this morning the Lord has 728 01:04:45,440 --> 01:04:50,600 sent me to come and announce to you that He's coming quickly and 729 01:04:50,600 --> 01:04:55,600 He's going to reward each and every one of us according to our 730 01:04:55,600 --> 01:04:58,200 works. What is your wake? 731 01:05:02,200 --> 01:05:06,120 What is your wake? Amen. 732 01:05:07,640 --> 01:05:31,010 Shall we? Be. 733 01:05:31,970 --> 01:06:09,040 On our feet.

We should all know that God has 736 01:06:41,520 --> 01:06:45,720 called us into His wake. Last. 737 01:06:45,720 --> 01:06:49,440 Tuesday when we came to church, loss of a week. 738 01:06:50,360 --> 01:06:57,360 When we came to last Thursday, we were 6IN number 66, loss of a 739 01:06:57,360 --> 01:06:59,480 week. We are preparing ourselves to 740 01:06:59,480 --> 01:07:03,320 come and dine with the Lord. We were 6IN number when I came. 741 01:07:03,800 --> 01:07:05,160 Barbara, you were here on Thursday. 742 01:07:05,200 --> 01:07:06,840 I think the office says you and I came. 743 01:07:07,520 --> 01:07:12,400 I sat here alone. Barbara, what happened to me? 744 01:07:13,240 --> 01:07:17,400 I was sleeping like something. In fact, when I was coming. 745 01:07:17,440 --> 01:07:21,640 I was very tired. And then I knew I was. 746 01:07:21,640 --> 01:07:23,680 Sleep yet? I came when I came to sleep. 747 01:07:25,760 --> 01:07:38,360 And you see this call that we have been called into one. 748 01:07:38,520 --> 01:07:41,200 I didn't finish my message, but you could see that when you 749 01:07:41,200 --> 01:07:45,800 continue the Bible exalt us not to forsake the gathering of 750 01:07:45,800 --> 01:07:48,080 God's people. And it is part of the work. 751 01:07:49,120 --> 01:07:53,000 So whenever we agree that this week we are waiting upon the 752 01:07:53,040 --> 01:07:56,560 Lord to pray and come and dine with the Lord and you stay in 753 01:07:56,560 --> 01:08:00,080 the house, you have chosen that path. 754 01:08:00,080 --> 01:08:01,520 And I've also chosen another path. 755 01:08:01,640 --> 01:08:03,560 And it's all part of the work we are doing. 756 01:08:04,280 --> 01:08:10,280 So if we should be measured by this, you could see that we are 757 01:08:10,280 --> 01:08:15,000 not doing a good work. Hello, we are not doing a good 758 01:08:15,000 --> 01:08:20,800 work. And should a master appear, what 759 01:08:20,800 --> 01:08:24,200 will be awake? Mr. Oma will some you know such 760 01:08:24,200 --> 01:08:28,640 restaurant. You know the kind of. 761 01:08:28,640 --> 01:08:31,120 Work you are doing. I know the kind of work I'm 762 01:08:31,120 --> 01:08:36,479 doing this morning, as the Word of God has reminded us. 763 01:08:37,160 --> 01:08:39,319 I just want you to be sincere to God. 764 01:08:39,880 --> 01:08:45,080 The Bible says that if you repent, He justifies you and He 765 01:08:45,080 --> 01:08:49,200 sanctifies you. So what is important is that as 766 01:08:49,200 --> 01:08:53,399 you have heard the gospel this morning, we shall repent from 767 01:08:53,399 --> 01:08:56,800 any bad works. And if we repent, the Bible is 768 01:08:56,800 --> 01:08:59,520 saying that He will justify and sanctify us. 769 01:09:00,000 --> 01:09:03,240 As you have raised your two hands, I want you to confess 770 01:09:03,240 --> 01:09:05,960 your works to Him. What kind of works are you 771 01:09:05,960 --> 01:09:08,600 doing? If they are negative, confess to 772 01:09:08,600 --> 01:09:11,560 Him. And as you are confessing, ask 773 01:09:11,560 --> 01:09:15,000 Him to be gracious unto you. Open your mouth and pray. 774 01:09:16,040 --> 01:09:18,560 Open your mouth and pray. Father, in the name of Jesus, 775 01:09:20,080 --> 01:09:21,800 this morning we have come unto you. 776 01:09:21,960 --> 01:09:26,160 We have heard your words. You have made us to understand 777 01:09:26,960 --> 01:09:30,279 that you are coming very soon and You are going to reward us 778 01:09:30,279 --> 01:09:34,319 according to our works this morning, as you have reminded 779 01:09:34,359 --> 01:09:37,680 us. O Lord, we confess all our works 780 01:09:37,680 --> 01:09:43,080 unto you, works that are not pleasant unto you, works that 781 01:09:43,080 --> 01:09:48,200 does not end well with us, works that does not go with your way. 782 01:09:49,000 --> 01:09:52,720 This morning we confess all his works unto you. 783 01:09:52,720 --> 01:09:56,360 We pray that even as you have, we have had your way. 784 01:09:56,880 --> 01:09:59,600 You shall be gracious unto US1 More time. 785 01:10:00,240 --> 01:10:02,440 Lord, may you be gracious unto us. 786 01:10:03,120 --> 01:10:05,120 Lord, may you be gracious unto us. 787 01:10:05,760 --> 01:10:07,800 Lord, may you be gracious unto us. 788 01:10:08,440 --> 01:10:13,680 Lord, may you be gracious unto us that henceforth we shall work 789 01:10:13,680 --> 01:10:15,680 according to your will and your desire. 790 01:10:16,440 --> 01:10:20,440 We shall work as you expect of us, that we shall not be made 791 01:10:20,480 --> 01:10:23,640 pleases, but we shall please you at all times. 792 01:10:24,360 --> 01:10:30,400 Lord, may you help us even as we confess, even as we admit, even 793 01:10:30,400 --> 01:10:34,880 as we acknowledge that we have not work as expected of us. 794 01:10:35,440 --> 01:10:40,480 We pray that your grace will speak for that you'll be 795 01:10:40,480 --> 01:10:43,840 gracious and to run. So, Lord, and give us another 796 01:10:43,840 --> 01:10:49,360 chance that we shall work for you, we shall work for you, that 797 01:10:49,360 --> 01:10:54,080 we shall work for you, so that when you appear, we will be 798 01:10:54,080 --> 01:11:00,000 worthy to receive a good reward coming today. 799 01:11:13,880 --> 01:11:18,840 One of the reasons why you may work anyhow is the absence of 800 01:11:18,840 --> 01:11:22,080 the Holy Spirit. When the Holy Spirit is with 801 01:11:22,120 --> 01:11:28,360 you, He will teach you, He will guide you, He will remind you. 802 01:11:29,240 --> 01:11:33,400 But when the Holy Spirit is not with you, you do your work. 803 01:11:33,480 --> 01:11:39,600 Anyhow, we are asking the Holy Spirit this morning to come into 804 01:11:39,600 --> 01:11:54,960 our hearts coming today. 805 01:12:13,880 --> 01:12:22,040 To my heart, Lord Jesus coming into my heart, heart. 806 01:12:23,480 --> 01:12:31,320 To my heart, heart. To my heart, Lord 807 01:12:48,200 --> 01:13:01,240 Jesus Christ, coming to the To my heart, Lord Jesus, I 808 01:13:12,400 --> 01:13:25,840 mean to say to my heart, to my heart. 809 01:13:29,320 --> 01:13:36,680 Revelations chapter 22 verse 11 and 12 He that is unjust, let 810 01:13:36,680 --> 01:13:42,000 him be unjust still and he which is filthy, let him be filthy 811 01:13:42,000 --> 01:13:45,160 still. And he that is righteous, let 812 01:13:45,160 --> 01:13:49,280 him be righteous still and he that is holy, let him be holy 813 01:13:49,280 --> 01:13:50,880 still. The. 814 01:13:50,880 --> 01:13:54,240 Difference here is. The Holy Spirit, when the Holy 815 01:13:54,240 --> 01:13:59,160 Spirit is with you, you shall be righteous and you shall still be 816 01:13:59,160 --> 01:14:01,640 righteous. When the Holy Spirit is with 817 01:14:02,440 --> 01:14:06,520 you, you shall be holy, and you will still be holy, but absence 818 01:14:06,520 --> 01:14:09,640 of the Holy Spirit. You will be in the Church, but 819 01:14:09,640 --> 01:14:13,000 you will be unjust, but you will be filthy. 820 01:14:13,880 --> 01:14:17,720 And this morning we are asking Him to come in. 821 01:14:18,160 --> 01:14:21,320 When He comes in, He makes the difference. 822 01:14:21,600 --> 01:14:24,280 Come in, raise up your two hands. 823 01:14:25,000 --> 01:14:30,600 We are calling on you. One who is able to make a 824 01:14:30,680 --> 01:14:32,760 difference. He makes the difference. 825 01:14:33,480 --> 01:14:55,280 He makes the difference. Shall you begin to cry on him 826 01:14:55,320 --> 01:15:00,040 this morning? Call on him, invite him, call on 827 01:15:00,040 --> 01:15:04,920 him, invite him.

You see wonder Spirit of God is 831 01:17:08,800 --> 01:17:11,600 not with you. You come to church. 832 01:17:11,600 --> 01:17:15,040 Because of human beings. Wonder Spirit of. 833 01:17:15,040 --> 01:17:20,240 God is not with you. You work to please people, but. 834 01:17:20,240 --> 01:17:22,040 When the spirit of. God is with you. 835 01:17:23,000 --> 01:17:26,040 You work to please God this morning. 836 01:17:26,120 --> 01:17:29,400 We are. Asking Him to help us know His 837 01:17:29,400 --> 01:17:33,040 ways. If we know His ways, we shall 838 01:17:33,040 --> 01:18:05,920 work to praise Him so that I. There was this person in the 839 01:18:05,920 --> 01:18:10,640 church who got angry with the leadership of the church, and 840 01:18:10,640 --> 01:18:14,200 because the person was angry, the person decided not to pay 841 01:18:14,200 --> 01:18:18,120 his tithe. Such a person is he coming to 842 01:18:18,160 --> 01:18:21,440 church because of human being, because of God. 843 01:18:22,160 --> 01:18:24,120 And we have such people in our mess. 844 01:18:24,560 --> 01:18:30,680 It may be me, it may be you, but the good news is that when we 845 01:18:30,680 --> 01:18:35,080 give ourselves to the Holy Spirit, He will show us His way. 846 01:19:25,840 --> 01:19:51,520 Yeah.
