Praise the Lord, praise the 38 00:14:13,170 --> 00:14:18,250 Lord. We thank God so much for how far 39 00:14:18,250 --> 00:14:23,160 He has brought us, and today is a blessed day to be in the 40 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:28,560 presence of God, to fellowship together, to share the love of 41 00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:30,120 God across. Amen. 42 00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:34,840 I like to first of all thank God for this opportunity. 43 00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:40,680 It's indeed a privilege to share the Word with His people today 44 00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:43,720 and I want Him to let him understand that it's not 45 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:48,400 something I take for granted. I say thank you God and also 46 00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:53,560 thank pastor and his wife for the opportunity to share the 47 00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:58,640 Word and also to presiding and then the presbytery for this 48 00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:02,920 opportunity to share the Word with the house. 49 00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:08,720 Hallelujah. So today our team or the team 50 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:12,920 that the Lord laid upon my heart is lovest thou me? 51 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:16,680 Love is now me. It is in the King James Version 52 00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:21,720 and I love it in that sense more than if you take it in the NIV. 53 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,400 It's translate as do you love me? 54 00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:30,000 Do you love me? And this conversation was a 55 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,640 question that Jesus posed to Peter. 56 00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:37,000 Jesus posed to Peter after his resurrection. 57 00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:43,360 So take our main test from John chapter 21 verse 15 to 18. 58 00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:49,040 John chapter 21 verse 15, he says that. 59 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:56,120 So when they are dined, Jesus said to Simon Peter, Simon son 60 00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:59,720 of Jonas, lovest thou me more than this? 61 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:04,360 He said to him, Yeah, Lord, thou knowest that love thee. 62 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:10,360 He said unto him, Feed my lamb. He said to him again the second 63 00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:15,160 time, Simon son of Jonah, lovest thou me? 64 00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:19,000 He said, Yeah, Lord, thou knowest that I love thee. 65 00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:25,400 He said unto him, Feed my sheep. He said unto him, the third 66 00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:30,480 time, Simon, son of Jonah, lovest thou me? 67 00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:36,000 Peter was grief because he said unto him, the third time, Lovest 68 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,560 thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou 69 00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:43,560 knowest all things. Thou knowest that I love thee. 70 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:47,240 Jesus said unto him, Feed my sheep. 71 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:50,960 Hallelujah, Jesus said unto him, feed my sheep. 72 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:55,360 So after Jesus had resurrected, he encountered the disciples on 73 00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:58,920 different occasion, most of all to strengthen them for the 74 00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:02,360 assignments ahead. And if you look at the Gospel 75 00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:05,880 according to Matthew, the last verse, he gave them the Great 76 00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:07,760 Commission. That is the child, that they 77 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:10,359 should go out there and preach the gospel. 78 00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:13,240 They should baptize people in his name, and they should raise 79 00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:16,000 disciples for him. If you look at the Gospel 80 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:19,880 according to Mark, he also gave them that that they should go 81 00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:24,160 out there and even that he he made them understand that he 82 00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,880 will give believers the powers to heal the sick. 83 00:17:27,079 --> 00:17:29,880 He will give believers the powers to perform miracles. 84 00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:32,960 So as they are preaching, there were signs and wonders who 85 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:37,840 follow what they would do. But in the According to John, 86 00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:43,600 God and John gave a peculiar, how do I say demonstration of 87 00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:50,160 God, Christ talking to them in that he explained that Christ 88 00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:53,000 encountered the disciples on three different occasion. 89 00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:56,800 Christ encountered the disciples on three different occasion and 90 00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:59,960 the first one was after he has resurrected. 91 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:03,200 Their disciples were in an enclosed space because they were 92 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:06,480 afraid that the Jewish authorities would come after 93 00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:09,080 them. And when he came to them, they 94 00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:13,640 were 10 at the moment because Judas had hang himself and then 95 00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:18,960 this one Thomas was not around. So he came on to them and he 96 00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:22,840 said receive ye the Holy Spirit. And at that moment he 97 00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:26,200 strengthened them. And on the second encounter, 98 00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:29,960 because Thomas was not around, Thomas doubted this point. 99 00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:33,240 I came to understand that God is interested in everyone. 100 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:36,120 God is interested in the life of everyone. 101 00:18:36,120 --> 00:18:40,920 No matter how feeble your trust is in God, God is interested in 102 00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:43,120 you. God Christ would have said that 103 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,800 Thomas had doubted. So that's the end, He will not 104 00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:50,480 get an opportunity to encounter the Christ, but Christ made it 105 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:55,840 gave him a chance for him to see that indeed he has resurrected. 106 00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:59,560 Indeed he has resurrected. And the last encounter that 107 00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:03,360 Christ had with the disciples before he resurrected was the 108 00:19:03,360 --> 00:19:07,520 event that took place at Lake Tiburus was the event that took 109 00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:11,720 place at Lake Tiburus. And that's when Christ posed the 110 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:15,920 question to Peter Lovers down me, lovers down me. 111 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:20,000 This morning the Lord is see me to ask you, do you love him? 112 00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:23,400 Because most of the times you confess with our mouth, Oh Lord, 113 00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:26,000 I love you. We come to church, we worship 114 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:29,960 and our hearts are gladden that we are showing forth our love 115 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,640 towards God. But in our action, does it 116 00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:36,800 defeat that we love the Lord that do our action demonstrate 117 00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,080 that yes indeed we love the Lord. 118 00:19:39,120 --> 00:19:42,600 If we indeed we love the Lord, it will be seen in our actions, 119 00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:45,800 not in our words alone. Imagine telling someone that 120 00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:48,840 every day, Oh I love you, you, I love you and then you are not 121 00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:51,480 showing anything to show that I love you. 122 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:53,000 The person will start without that. 123 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:57,080 This person is telling me he loves me, but I'm not seeing 124 00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:00,040 anything that the person is doing to show that he loves me. 125 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:03,440 This morning the Lord is asking us lovers down me. 126 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:07,280 I want us to ponder over it. Do we love the Lord or we just 127 00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:10,520 confess with our mother? Oh Lord, I love you and then 128 00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:13,040 that's it. You go about this. 129 00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:16,360 If there's a song that is raised, that the song touches 130 00:20:16,360 --> 00:20:19,280 us, then we leave. Our hands up into there and we 131 00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:22,520 praise God and we express our love towards Amanda ends. 132 00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:27,720 But this one the Lord is asking as lovers down me, lovers down 133 00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:30,400 me. So when I was making this 134 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:34,520 sermon, I deduced 3 reasons why Jesus asked Peter this question. 135 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:38,320 And the first one was that it was a restorative plan for both 136 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:40,840 Peter and then the disciples to see. 137 00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:44,840 And the second one was that so that Peter will do a self 138 00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:48,440 examination to determine whether indeed he loved the Lord. 139 00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:52,240 And the third one was that it was to remind Peter of the 140 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:55,600 charge. Hallelujah is to remind Peter of 141 00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:58,160 the charge. So we'll take the first point. 142 00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:00,320 That's the restorative plan of God. 143 00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:04,680 If you look at Peter according to the gospel, you could see 144 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:09,520 that Peter loved the Lord, his actions defeated, he loved the 145 00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:12,280 Lord. And even Peter was part of the 146 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:16,720 inner circle of Christ. There were the 120, there was a 147 00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:20,080 70, there were, there were, there were the 12 and even the 148 00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:23,120 three. That's John, Peter and James. 149 00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:26,760 So you could see that it wasn't just a mere person that Christ 150 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:30,080 posed the question to. It was someone that was part of 151 00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:33,200 his close circles. And it's not anyone that we we 152 00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:37,320 have friends, we have acquaintances, we have people 153 00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:41,800 that we engage on a daily basis, but it's not one that we bring 154 00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,600 them into our chamber. It's not one that we bring them 155 00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:47,360 into our inner circle. So for Peter to be part of the 156 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:51,200 three, that means Christ vetted his love. 157 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:53,960 Christ has seen that indeed he loves him. 158 00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:57,400 And Christ can't even share a secret with him because on the 159 00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:00,120 amount of transfiguration, it was only the three of them that 160 00:22:00,120 --> 00:22:02,720 was there. That is, the disciples were in 161 00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:04,920 there. So you could see an amount of 162 00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:09,280 trust, an amount of love that was shared between Peter and 163 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:14,000 then, but at the same time, when Christ had resurrected, Christ 164 00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:18,040 asked Peter lovers down me. Like how can you ask someone 165 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:20,640 that is part of your inner circle do you love me? 166 00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:23,520 Because before I'll bring you into my inner circle, that means 167 00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:27,760 I've vetted your love for me. I have tested you and I've tried 168 00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:31,040 you, and I've seen that yes, indeed you, I can walk with you. 169 00:22:31,360 --> 00:22:35,480 So for Christ to ask Peter that lovers down me, that means that 170 00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:39,160 question is so peculiar. That best question is so 171 00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:40,800 peculiar. Hallelujah. 172 00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:44,960 And you could see that day in the hospital was demonstrating 173 00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:47,920 his love for Christ. Day in the hospital was 174 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:49,600 demonstrating his love for Christ. 175 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:54,000 And you will not know a revelation of someone if you've 176 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:58,080 not encountered a person, if you don't have this fellowship with 177 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:03,000 a person at 1 moment Christ asked them, disciples, who do 178 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,640 you say I am? Who do you say I am? 179 00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:08,880 And Peter rose up and said you, you are the Messiah. 180 00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:14,560 You are the Son of God. For Peter to voice out to say he 181 00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:18,040 is the Messiah, that means he has received a revelation about 182 00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:20,200 Christ. You don't receive a revelation 183 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:23,720 about someone that you don't have this fellowship with, you 184 00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:27,040 don't have this colonial with. That means there was some 185 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:31,520 relations and in depth relationship between Peter and 186 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:35,880 Christ, that Peter could be able to catch that revelation that 187 00:23:36,120 --> 00:23:39,720 Christ is indeed the Messiah. And Christ told him that upon 188 00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:41,880 this revelation I will build my church. 189 00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:45,880 But at the same time, when Christ had resurrected Christ as 190 00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:50,600 Peter, lovers thou me. Hey, like someone that could 191 00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:54,520 have said a revelation about you, someone that is part of 192 00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:58,000 your inner core. Christo asked him that lovers 193 00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:01,560 thou me, that you can see that love is a great virtue. 194 00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:05,680 It's not something that it is supposed to be taken for like 195 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:09,400 because for someone to even say I love you, it's not easy. 196 00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:13,480 Most like even our culture for it's not that things are 197 00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:16,080 changing that we are very expressive. 198 00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:20,040 But first, first for you to even say you love someone, then like 199 00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:23,640 the person has done something for you or the person that you 200 00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:28,400 vetted the person before we can even tell the past that you love 201 00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:32,120 the person and you can see that in Peter walk with Christ. 202 00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:34,640 Everything demonstrated I loved him. 203 00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:37,800 He was ready. It's like someone's about to be 204 00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:39,600 Jesus. Peter is there drawing the 205 00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:42,080 sword. He's ready to fight for Christ. 206 00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:45,720 He's ready to do anything to demonstrate his love for him. 207 00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:49,720 But at the end of the day, Christ asked him, lovers thou me 208 00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:53,480 Peter lovers thou me Peter. This man wants us to ponder 209 00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:55,600 about it. Do we love the Lord? 210 00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:59,040 Do we love the Lord? Or we just say it because for 211 00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:02,200 saying sake we just say it because far I've been saying day 212 00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:04,760 in, day out, oh, I love the Lord, so you too. 213 00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:07,440 You think me too. Let me say something. 214 00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:09,840 So we are all part of the body of Christ. 215 00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:12,000 But have you vetted in your spirit? 216 00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:15,720 Have you vetted in your heart? And you can't declare boldly 217 00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:19,000 that you love the Lord. I want us to pond out for this 218 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:23,320 morning. Lovers down me, lovers down me, 219 00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:28,240 Hallelujah, Hallelujah. And even to for Peter to 220 00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:32,640 demonstrate his love for Christ at the highest peak when Christ 221 00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:36,840 was about to be crucified and then the high priest and all the 222 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:39,360 people had come to capture Jesus. 223 00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:42,640 He was ready. He has taken his cutlass or his 224 00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:45,880 knife and he has cut the year of one of the high priest slave. 225 00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:50,280 You could see that it is love for someone to be able to defend 226 00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:54,080 you. At that point, while Soldiers 227 00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:57,720 was around, he didn't think that, hey, what if I cut the ear 228 00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,040 of someone do catch me along with Christ. 229 00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:04,200 He was moved by that love that I had for Christ and he took 230 00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:06,800 action. By the end of the day, Christ 231 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:11,200 asked him that lovers down me, lovers down me. 232 00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:17,080 So if I've come to understand that it's not by West of mouth, 233 00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:21,440 it's not by sometimes the things we do, it is by grace that we 234 00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:25,280 are able to love the Lord. It is by grace and it's seeming 235 00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:27,560 by the Spirit that we are able to love the Lord. 236 00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:32,320 Because Peter was zealous. So Peter was so zealous about 237 00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:34,840 Christ. By the end of the day, Christ 238 00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:40,080 asked him, lovers down me, lovers down me, and I want us to 239 00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:44,360 go to that scripture that I think is connected to this 240 00:26:44,360 --> 00:26:47,920 question. That is John chapter 13 verse 36 241 00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:53,840 to 38. John chapter 13 verse 36 to 38, 242 00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:59,840 it says that Peter, Simon Peter as Lord, where are you going? 243 00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:05,040 And Jesus replied, You can't go with me now, but you will follow 244 00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:09,960 me later. But why can't I come now, Lord? 245 00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:13,200 He asks. I am ready to die for you. 246 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:17,080 Have you seen the epics of Peter's love for Christ? 247 00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:19,400 He said, I am ready to die for you. 248 00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:22,120 If you are going to hell, I'm ready to follow you. 249 00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:25,560 If you are going to this place, I'm ready to follow you by the 250 00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:28,360 end of the day. Christ asked him, Lovers thou 251 00:27:28,360 --> 00:27:33,280 me, I ask someone that tells you that I'm ready to die for you. 252 00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:37,840 Some verses says that he said he's ready to lay down his life 253 00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:40,560 for him, lay down his life for him. 254 00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:43,920 By the end of the day. Christ asked him, Lovers down 255 00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:47,240 me. Lovers down me, please, the 38 256 00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:50,960 Jesus answered. Die for me. 257 00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:55,000 I saw you the truth, Peter, before the roster closed 258 00:27:55,000 --> 00:28:00,320 tomorrow morning, you would deny me three times that you even 259 00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:02,000 know me. Hallelujah. 260 00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:06,720 This is where at this point that Christ asked him lovers them 261 00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:10,320 because as much as Peter was zealous, he didn't have that 262 00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:15,040 capacity to love Christ to the point that he will lay his life 263 00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:17,480 for him. He has said it because he felt 264 00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:21,800 that in his human understanding he loves the Lord so much. 265 00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:25,120 He loved Christ so much that he was ready to die for him. 266 00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:29,160 But when that opportunity came that they asked him a question, 267 00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:33,040 are you part of the disciple? He said me no, I'm not part 268 00:28:33,360 --> 00:28:36,480 someone that said I love you, Someone that said I'm ready to 269 00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:39,040 die for you. Someone that was able to cut the 270 00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:43,120 year of one of the servants to demonstrate Islam. 271 00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:47,880 When the opportunity came for him to declare the Christ he 272 00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:50,320 denied, he said I do not know this man. 273 00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:53,680 I do not know this man that doesn't that doesn't love him. 274 00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:57,280 It means that his love for Christ at that moment was 275 00:28:57,280 --> 00:28:59,720 limited. His love for Christ at that 276 00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:04,000 moment was limited. Our human capacity can't love 277 00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:07,760 Christ at the apex. No, we would have some 278 00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:11,080 disadvantages. Our flesh will come along the 279 00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:13,520 way. Hospitals like hey, if I say 280 00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:15,720 that I know this man, don't catch me with him. 281 00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:19,320 But it was this same Peter that was selling the cries that I 282 00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:22,520 would die for you. I would lay my life for you. 283 00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:25,840 But when the opportunity came for him to lay his life, he 284 00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:31,000 wasn't found. But upon all this Christ didn't 285 00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:35,400 the test Peter. Christ didn't detest Peter, He 286 00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:38,520 came to him and asked him, Lovers down me. 287 00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:42,600 Christ would have asked Peter, Peter, you said you will lay 288 00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:44,840 your life for me, but why didn't you do it? 289 00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:48,880 Peter, you said you, you do this for me, but why didn't you do 290 00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:50,800 it? But I asked him a simple 291 00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:55,200 question, Lovers down me, lovers down me. 292 00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:58,920 And Peter said, you know, Lord, that I love you. 293 00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:04,160 So if you do an exergesis over him and you are looking at their 294 00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:08,200 love, Christ was asking Peter whether he loves him. 295 00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:11,360 And then if you look at the word here, the New Testament was 296 00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:14,440 written in Greek. So the word used was agape. 297 00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:18,400 That's the highest form of love. That's a sacrificial love. 298 00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:22,560 That's an unconditional love. It was the same love that was 299 00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:26,800 used in John 316 when he says that for God so loved the world. 300 00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:31,920 So Christ was asking Peter, do you love me to that apex, that 301 00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:36,240 sacrificial love, that unconditional love that you lay 302 00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:39,400 your life for me? That was the kind of love Christ 303 00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:42,520 was asking Peter. And when Peter was responding, 304 00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:45,680 he was like, I love you with a brotherly affection. 305 00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:49,360 Then Peter had come to the realization that he couldn't 306 00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:51,960 love the Lord on his own capacity. 307 00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:55,080 He couldn't love the Lord at that point that he will 308 00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:59,120 sacrifice all for the Lord. He will sacrifice all for the 309 00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:00,920 Lord. But still we could see a 310 00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:05,360 demonstration of Christ's love over here that even though Peter 311 00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:11,560 denied him and anytime Christ as Peter lovers down me and Peter 312 00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:15,720 responds that yeah, Lord, you know I love you and Christ will 313 00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:18,200 give him the child feed my sheep. 314 00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:21,200 Christ will give him the charge tend to my flock. 315 00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:23,800 That means Christ could trust him again. 316 00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:28,600 And sometimes as humans, if someone does something for us, 317 00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:32,520 we are ready to judge. We are ready to say ah it is You 318 00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:35,120 said you love me and you did this to me. 319 00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:38,520 You betrayed my interest. So we don't even add that person 320 00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:41,280 into our inner circle. Sometimes we even go to the 321 00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:43,320 point of not talking to the person. 322 00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:47,640 But here we see a demonstration of Christ love for Peter that 323 00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:52,200 even after he had denied the Christ, Christ still came to him 324 00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:55,400 and asked him. Lovers down me and he still gave 325 00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:59,000 him the charge, Hallelujah. That means you are not beyond 326 00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,280 reproach. If you feel like, oh, I've done 327 00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:05,760 something so God cannot use me again because of some sin that 328 00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:09,440 you did in the past, you are condemning yourself that at this 329 00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:13,120 stage, at this point, this thing that I've done, Christ can't use 330 00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:15,880 me again this morning. Christ has been the charge to 331 00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:19,400 tell you that you can be used for his work no matter your 332 00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:22,400 circumstances, no matter your limitation. 333 00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:25,920 He doesn't see that limitation around you. 334 00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:28,440 All he wants is that you will love him. 335 00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:32,440 You present yourself in that limitation and you demonstrate 336 00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:37,440 your love towards him. Hallelujah Hospital denied 337 00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:40,640 Christ 3 * 3 different occasions. 338 00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:44,040 It wasn't one time that would be like, oh at least it was 1 so 339 00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:47,040 would pardon him. It was on a three different 340 00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:49,040 occasion with three different people. 341 00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:52,000 Someone that said he loved him to the point of death. 342 00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:54,400 But Christ didn't see his limitation. 343 00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:58,920 He saw the heart of Peter, He saw the heart of Peter and this 344 00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:00,880 is the difference between Peter and Judas. 345 00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:04,800 They both betrayed Jesus. But Peter came to the 346 00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:07,600 realization that I need to repent. 347 00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:11,760 He had a godly sorrow that lead to repentance. 348 00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:15,080 He went and weep, but after weeping he didn't say that. 349 00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:17,800 So I'm going to hang myself. He said I have to come back to 350 00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:20,160 the food. I have to come back to the floor 351 00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:23,800 because it is God that can give me the capacity to love Him, 352 00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,760 that even though I have denied him three times, he will not 353 00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:29,160 forsake me. Even though I've denied him 354 00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:30,760 three times, He will not forsake me. 355 00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:33,000 And that was a dream between him and Judas. 356 00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:36,600 Judas also had godly sorrow. He whipped and everything. 357 00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:40,520 By the end of the day, he hanged himself because he wasn't able 358 00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:44,720 to hold on to the capacity that Christ will love him even after 359 00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:47,760 his betrayal. Christ will love him after his 360 00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:49,320 betrayal. So it doesn't matter what you've 361 00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:52,360 done in the past, doesn't matter what if you've been done this 362 00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:56,480 morning, Christ is able to use you all, what Christ wants from 363 00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:58,840 you this Monday to avail yourself. 364 00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:01,880 It should open your heart. And if you look at the vest, the 365 00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:06,680 third time I asked Peter the question, Peter said Thou 366 00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:10,000 knowest everything. At this point, that he had 367 00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:13,040 opened his heart on to the Lord, he started quite that. 368 00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:16,360 Yes, I know my limitation, but you know my heart. 369 00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:20,080 You know that I love you to an extent, but then my love for you 370 00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:23,360 has not reached to that apes, but so you know my heart. 371 00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:26,719 So search my heart. So Lord and vets me and see that 372 00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:30,679 indeed I love you. So what God is demanding from us 373 00:34:30,679 --> 00:34:33,480 this morning is that would demonstrate his love. 374 00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:37,679 All that Christ is stemming from us this morning is that would 375 00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:41,040 present us of no matter our limitation. 376 00:34:41,679 --> 00:34:47,120 It's not for us to say judge ourselves our my wordy of Christ 377 00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:49,440 love. You are worthy of his love no 378 00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:52,840 matter your limitation. You are so worthy of his life. 379 00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:55,280 It is for your sake. He came to die for you. 380 00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:58,080 It was for your sins. He came to die for you. 381 00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:00,760 It was not that you are too righteous or you are too 382 00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:04,280 perfect, but he saw our imperfection, He saw our 383 00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:08,880 limitation, He saw our disadvantage and still died for 384 00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:10,680 us. So it is not this that this the 385 00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:13,760 moment that you will judge yourself that indeed do Christ 386 00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:16,440 love you. He loves you with all his heart, 387 00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:19,440 always demanding for you this month that you present yourself 388 00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:22,440 that Lord have come. I know my limitation by Lord 389 00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:25,120 have come. I know my disadvantage by Lord 390 00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:28,720 have come. Hallelujah and also it's for the 391 00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:32,240 other disciples to see that anytime Christ gave him the 392 00:35:32,240 --> 00:35:36,120 charge, he was restoring him. He was reconciling him back to 393 00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:38,840 himself and for the other disciples to see the 394 00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:43,440 demonstration of Christ love that in as man Peter denied 395 00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:46,160 Christ. He was so given the charge that 396 00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:49,200 should tend to the flux of Christ and you could start the 397 00:35:49,240 --> 00:35:52,200 flux of Christ is something that is so peculiar. 398 00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:55,760 So it wasn't a mere charge. It's not something that would 399 00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:59,320 give to someone just like. And no, this is not a child that 400 00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:01,720 you give to someone that has betrayed you, someone that 401 00:36:01,720 --> 00:36:04,680 denied you. But Christ saw beyond Peter 402 00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:07,360 limitation. Christ saw beyond Peter's 403 00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:11,040 disadvantage and still gave him the charge that turned to my 404 00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:15,160 flaws, Hallelujah. Turned to my flaws, Hallelujah. 405 00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:18,160 So the next one is self examination. 406 00:36:19,240 --> 00:36:22,960 Self examination, as I said earlier, most of the times we 407 00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:26,720 say with our mouth, I love the Lord, I love the Lord, but this 408 00:36:26,720 --> 00:36:29,720 does not demonstrate that we love the Lord. 409 00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:33,280 It's not by West of mouth that would say that oh, I love the 410 00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:35,520 Lord. But these are supposed to 411 00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:38,280 portray that indeed we love the Lord. 412 00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:43,400 So then there as we walk then there as we go about our day, we 413 00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:47,840 need to examine ourselves that indeed do I love the Lord and 414 00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:52,200 know that we would see our sins. No is to see the disposition of 415 00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:56,240 our hearts before the Lord while we in the right standing before 416 00:36:56,240 --> 00:37:01,840 Christ is to see our disposition how our heart is before the 417 00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:03,720 Lord. Hallelujah is not that we would 418 00:37:03,720 --> 00:37:07,440 focus on our sin because if we do it on our own human strength 419 00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:11,520 to see whether we love the Lord or to see whether we are part of 420 00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:13,920 the force. All we see is our limitation. 421 00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:17,480 All we see is our sin. But if we vet ourselves through 422 00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:23,120 the lens of the Holy Spirit will not see our sins only, but we'll 423 00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:26,960 see that even though we are limited, Christ's love is above 424 00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:29,280 all. Hallelujah, Christ's love is 425 00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:30,640 above. I want us to read Second 426 00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:36,640 Corinthians chapter 13 verse 5. Second Corinthians chapter 13, 427 00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:41,720 verse five. He says that test yourself and 428 00:37:41,720 --> 00:37:45,440 find out if you really are true to your faith. 429 00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:49,920 If you pass the test, you will discover that Christ is living 430 00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:52,760 in you. But if Christ isn't living in 431 00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:57,360 you, you have filled Hallelujah. So there in doubt we have to 432 00:37:57,400 --> 00:37:59,840 test ourselves. There in doubt we have to 433 00:37:59,880 --> 00:38:03,080 examine ourselves. Are we indeed believers? 434 00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:06,960 Are we indeed Christians? Are we portraying the life that 435 00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:10,440 Christ has given unto us because we don't own this life? 436 00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:14,240 We don't own this life. We were once dead. 437 00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:19,080 We're once away from the the fellowship with their father, 438 00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:22,640 but through the sacrifice that Christ did for us, we've not 439 00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:26,160 been brought back to their food and we've not been made anew. 440 00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:29,000 So the life we have right now is a borrowed life. 441 00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:33,680 So then that you must examine yourself to see this life of 442 00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:37,520 Christ that I have received. Am I living a life worthy of the 443 00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:40,440 calling that I've received? You are supposed to examine 444 00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:43,440 yourself. Am I living a life that 445 00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:46,040 demonstrate that the love of crisis in me. 446 00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:50,200 It's not that we will see our sins, no, but it's to see the 447 00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:52,480 disposition of ourselves before Christ. 448 00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:55,840 That is why when David prayed his prayer, he said that search 449 00:38:55,840 --> 00:39:00,200 my hearts, O Lord, and try my thoughts and see if there's any 450 00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:05,320 iniquity in me and lead me to the way everlasting and lead me 451 00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:09,240 to the way everlasting. So this is when Peter at the 452 00:39:09,240 --> 00:39:13,800 last part when Christ had asked him that lovers down me and he 453 00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:15,960 said, yeah, Lord, you know everything. 454 00:39:16,240 --> 00:39:19,680 At that moment Peter was praying this prayer, search my hearts, O 455 00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:24,120 Lord, and try my thoughts and see if there's any iniquity in 456 00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:26,760 me and lead me to the way everlasting. 457 00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:30,240 He knew that his love was limited, but I knew at the same 458 00:39:30,240 --> 00:39:33,080 point that Christ could lead him to the way everlasting. 459 00:39:33,240 --> 00:39:35,600 So he said, Lord, you know everything. 460 00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:38,000 You know the deepest parts of my heart. 461 00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:41,160 You know the thoughts that even myself, some I don't even know 462 00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:44,720 that it's just inside my heart. So my heart is open unto you 463 00:39:44,720 --> 00:39:48,360 this morning that you vet and see that indeed I love you. 464 00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:51,800 Hallelujah. So anytime we examine ourselves, 465 00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:55,080 we have to see that whether there's an evidence of Christ, 466 00:39:55,720 --> 00:39:59,360 Christ's life in us, to see it when it will be dimension of how 467 00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:05,280 we relate with other people. Now we engage with our fellow 468 00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:09,200 workers at our workplace, our schools, our peers, the 469 00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:13,280 unbelievers and also how we are prompt to the instructions of 470 00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:15,840 Christ. So then they are at the end of 471 00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:19,200 the day, whilst you're about to sleep, you're supposed to vet 472 00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:22,360 yourself and see. These days I live a life worthy 473 00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:26,080 of the calling I've received. These days I live a life worthy 474 00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:29,240 of the calling I've received. This morning the Lord is asking 475 00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:34,040 us lovers down me lovers down Hallelujah. 476 00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:39,520 And the last point is that it was for Peter to receive the 477 00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:42,240 charge. It was for Peter to receive the 478 00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:45,080 charge. So anytime Christ asks Peter 479 00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:50,120 lovers thou me Simon son of Jonah, and he says that ye Lord, 480 00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:53,440 I love you. And anytime he responds, Christ 481 00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:58,000 tells him that feed my sheep. Anytime he responds, he cries to 482 00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:00,280 give the charter turn to my flaws. 483 00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:05,320 It wasn't a small assignment. It wasn't and consider Christ is 484 00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:09,560 bedding about the source of men. That is one of the assignments 485 00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:13,360 he came to do so that he will release us from the hands of the 486 00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:16,960 enemy that will release us from the condemnation that was meant 487 00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:20,120 for us. So he paid a heavy price for us. 488 00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:24,680 So so for him to give that charge to Peter that tend to my 489 00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:26,880 flaws, then it's only a little charge. 490 00:41:27,240 --> 00:41:31,840 It wasn't something small that he would have to through it 491 00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:34,200 anyhow. It was a great assignment. 492 00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:37,840 It was a great assignment and this assignment has been run 493 00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:41,920 down to us, that the Lord is giving us that charge, that the 494 00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:46,440 source of men are perishing, the source of men are going to hell. 495 00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:50,520 But this one, if indeed we've come unto Christ, if indeed 496 00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:53,040 we've come unto the saving knowledge of Christ, then 497 00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:57,280 there's a charge upon our life. There's a charge upon our life. 498 00:41:57,520 --> 00:42:02,480 Anytime Christ asks Peter lovers down me and he say, yeah, Lord, 499 00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:05,000 I love you. Then the charge is given unto 500 00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:09,080 him, the charge is given on to him and time one time when 501 00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:13,320 Christ was working and saw the crowds and was like it was moved 502 00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:16,840 with compassion was like these people are like sheep without 503 00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:19,000 shepherd. These people are like sheep 504 00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:23,240 without shepherd. So for him to out Peter and 505 00:42:23,240 --> 00:42:26,320 saying that Peter turn to my flaws, that means you could see 506 00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:28,760 that there is supposed to be a charge. 507 00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:32,160 There is someone supposed to be there to turn their flaws and 508 00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:35,240 not to just to turn them back that he's supposed to nurture 509 00:42:35,240 --> 00:42:37,240 them. He's supposed to take care of 510 00:42:37,240 --> 00:42:38,600 them. He's supposed to make sure that 511 00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:42,120 whatever they need to mature to the fullness of the stature of 512 00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:44,600 Christ, he provides for them. Hallelujah. 513 00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:48,400 So it wasn't a small charge. This proves that Christ loved 514 00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:53,160 Peter, and also it's proved that Peter's one love the Lord, but 515 00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:55,280 his love had not reached to a certain a place. 516 00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:57,560 But it did. Christ didn't see his 517 00:42:57,560 --> 00:42:59,640 limitation. Christ didn't see that. 518 00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:02,360 Okay. And Peter had disappointed me. 519 00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:06,960 No, but Christ saw that Peter was worthy of that assignment 520 00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:09,040 and he gave it to him. So that's why I'm saying that it 521 00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:13,280 doesn't matter what you had done, doesn't matter what your 522 00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:15,720 sins have been. Christ can use you. 523 00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:19,760 Christ can use and the first evangelist that was recorded in 524 00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:22,520 the Bible when Christ had encountered here. 525 00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:26,720 That's a Samaritan woman. She wasn't unworthy to proclaim 526 00:43:26,720 --> 00:43:28,560 them this one the word of Christ. 527 00:43:28,720 --> 00:43:32,520 She wasn't worthy to proclaim that this is the Messiah. 528 00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:35,520 If you're looking for people to proclaim that this is the 529 00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:37,760 Messiah. I saw a sinful woman but when 530 00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:41,200 she encountered the Christ and Christ told her about her story. 531 00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:45,560 She went out, she didn't see a limitation at that moment, but 532 00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:50,120 she saw beyond what circumstances and she was then 533 00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:55,800 she saw that if Christ is able to see me, me a sinful me, I 534 00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:58,680 have 5 husbands. I mean, the last one I am with 535 00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:01,920 is not even my husband and was able to tell me all this. 536 00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:03,960 She didn't see a limitation then. 537 00:44:03,960 --> 00:44:06,520 And then so like I have to go out there and proclaim the 538 00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:08,720 knowledge of Christ. I have to go out there to 539 00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:11,520 proclaim the Messiah. And this one, this is Christ is 540 00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:14,280 giving us this charge is that we should see beyond our 541 00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:16,720 limitation. We should see beyond our 542 00:44:16,720 --> 00:44:20,440 disadvantage and go out there and proclaim his love to the 543 00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:23,080 world because the source of men are perishing. 544 00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:26,360 The source of men are perishing Hallelujah. 545 00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:31,720 And for us to prove our love for Christ it's a sin in our place 546 00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:34,360 of work. It's a sin at our place of work 547 00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:39,040 because we can't say with our mouth that we love Christ and we 548 00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:42,640 don't do anything. Let's say for an instance I come 549 00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:47,280 to church every Sunday. When we close, I'll see Dickness 550 00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:49,960 Barbara, Dickness Barbara, I love you. 551 00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:52,640 Then I'll peg chicks and everything. 552 00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:55,120 Then I'll hug with just and all those things. 553 00:44:55,320 --> 00:44:57,560 Then I'll go my way. I'll check up on you. 554 00:44:57,560 --> 00:44:59,920 Don't do anything. Sunday I'll come, I'll do the 555 00:44:59,920 --> 00:45:02,480 same thing. I'll proclaim my love to way and 556 00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:04,600 I'll go. And Dickness Eva, you know, she 557 00:45:04,600 --> 00:45:07,400 didn't say she loves Dickness Barbara. 558 00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:10,960 She's concerned every day. She's trying to see that 559 00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:15,480 everything pertaining to Dickness and Barbara is downward 560 00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:18,840 among the two of us. Who do you see that allows 561 00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:23,720 Dickness, Barbara? So it's not by West of mouth 562 00:45:23,720 --> 00:45:27,240 that we demonstrate that we love Christ, but it must be seen in 563 00:45:27,240 --> 00:45:30,200 our actions that we love the Christ. 564 00:45:30,200 --> 00:45:32,600 Hallelujah. And it must be seen in our 565 00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:35,240 works. Our works will determine whether 566 00:45:35,240 --> 00:45:38,680 we love the Christ and that our W is not to show that. 567 00:45:38,680 --> 00:45:40,840 OK. That is a license to heaven. 568 00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:45,680 No, it's a sort of like we say thank you to Christ was this 569 00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:48,480 life that we had received weren't worthy of it. 570 00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:52,480 If we're supposed to pay for that price, some of us can't 571 00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:54,240 speak. All of us, we can't speak. 572 00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:58,920 It was a huge sacrifice. It was a huge sacrifice for 573 00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:02,840 someone to lay his life for you. And it wasn't just that Christ 574 00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:06,000 died for our sin. No, He took our sin and took the 575 00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:08,880 guilt of our sin. So it was a sin. 576 00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:12,160 Our sins were upon him. The one you do tomorrow and 577 00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:14,360 tomorrow next, Everything was upon him. 578 00:46:14,520 --> 00:46:17,640 And that guilt, you see, if you do something, I know that it's 579 00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:20,240 not right that that's shame that you feel. 580 00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:25,200 He took every combined to that scene together and in all this 581 00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:27,280 one, the cross. So there's no way we could have 582 00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:30,560 paid for that price. But I gave it to us freely. 583 00:46:30,760 --> 00:46:33,920 So if you had given to us freely, what more can you do? 584 00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:38,280 That and also to demonstrate your love towards Him at the 585 00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:41,480 place of your works. And even in the Garden of Eden, 586 00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:46,240 in the perfect world, God even gave a child to Adam that he 587 00:46:46,240 --> 00:46:50,440 should take care of the garden. What more about now that we are 588 00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:53,640 in a sinful world, then that means Christ giving us a greater 589 00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:57,360 assignment that we should go out there, the souls that are 590 00:46:57,400 --> 00:47:00,920 outside, the souls that are perishing and bring them back to 591 00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:03,960 the food and bring them back to their food. 592 00:47:04,240 --> 00:47:08,320 And even if you read Revelation chapter one, verse 6, he says 593 00:47:08,320 --> 00:47:12,760 that he has made us a Kingdom of priests to serve the Lord, a 594 00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:14,960 Kingdom of priests to serve the Lord. 595 00:47:15,200 --> 00:47:20,600 And if you look at the Levitical priests, it wasn't just anyone. 596 00:47:20,600 --> 00:47:22,960 They were being selected, the Levites. 597 00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:26,160 They were selected from the Israelites to serve God. 598 00:47:26,360 --> 00:47:30,040 So now that we've gotten the opportunity, now we've all have 599 00:47:30,080 --> 00:47:34,040 that access to serve God. Why don't we demonstrate our 600 00:47:34,040 --> 00:47:37,040 love by also putting our hands into the plow? 601 00:47:37,240 --> 00:47:40,960 Why don't we demonstrate our love by also finding something 602 00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:44,200 to do? Because Christ paid all our 603 00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:46,760 sins. He took all our shame. 604 00:47:47,040 --> 00:47:50,320 He took all the guilt. Why don't we demonstrate our 605 00:47:50,320 --> 00:47:52,360 love for Him at the place of work? 606 00:47:53,080 --> 00:47:55,080 I said. He has made us a Kingdom of 607 00:47:55,160 --> 00:47:59,160 priests to serve his God and Father as priest. 608 00:47:59,600 --> 00:48:02,040 Priest. When we look at the Levitical 609 00:48:02,040 --> 00:48:05,400 priest, they were taking care of the House of God. 610 00:48:05,640 --> 00:48:07,560 They were reading their Torah to their people. 611 00:48:07,720 --> 00:48:10,920 They're making sacrifices. But now that opportunity has 612 00:48:10,920 --> 00:48:14,680 been given to us that would proclaim the name of Christ 613 00:48:14,680 --> 00:48:18,120 across Hallelujah, that privilege has given to us that 614 00:48:18,120 --> 00:48:20,280 would also serve in the House of the Lord. 615 00:48:20,440 --> 00:48:23,960 So anytime an opportunity counts for you to serve in the House of 616 00:48:23,960 --> 00:48:27,080 the Lord, don't take it that you are too perfect or you are 617 00:48:27,080 --> 00:48:31,840 worthy of that opportunity. It is that Christ love has found 618 00:48:31,840 --> 00:48:35,360 you and you found your place in the House of God and you have 619 00:48:35,360 --> 00:48:38,120 been given this privilege to serve God. 620 00:48:38,280 --> 00:48:41,360 So anytime the opportunity comes for you to do something, an 621 00:48:41,360 --> 00:48:43,160 assignment, don't shake your head. 622 00:48:43,160 --> 00:48:46,400 Don't be like I can't do it. No, because Christ has been as 623 00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:49,160 that empowerment. He said before he was leaving, 624 00:48:49,160 --> 00:48:51,200 He said He will not leave us as orphans. 625 00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:54,800 He will not leave us as people without a head. 626 00:48:55,000 --> 00:48:58,360 He said He will send us the Holy Spirit. 627 00:48:58,560 --> 00:49:01,200 He will send us the Holy Spirit and He will be our helper. 628 00:49:01,600 --> 00:49:04,720 He will be our helper. So we don't have a limitation. 629 00:49:04,760 --> 00:49:07,560 No, we are not at a disadvantage. 630 00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:11,840 No, we have the Holy Spirit with us to do the work of God. 631 00:49:11,840 --> 00:49:15,520 We have the Holy Spirit in us. So if indeed we love the Lord, 632 00:49:15,520 --> 00:49:17,960 we will see to it that his work progresses. 633 00:49:18,320 --> 00:49:21,400 If we love the Lord, we'll see to it that his work progresses. 634 00:49:21,640 --> 00:49:26,120 This morning the Lord is asking you love us down me this one. 635 00:49:26,120 --> 00:49:29,360 The question is not to Peter, but it is to you and I. 636 00:49:29,520 --> 00:49:32,120 The Lord is asking us lovers down me. 637 00:49:32,400 --> 00:49:35,680 So if indeed you love the Lord, it must be seen at the place of 638 00:49:35,680 --> 00:49:37,960 your work. If it is indeed you love the 639 00:49:37,960 --> 00:49:41,480 Lord, you must demonstrate your love for Christ at the place of 640 00:49:41,480 --> 00:49:43,480 work. It's not that your work Who vets 641 00:49:43,480 --> 00:49:46,760 that we will go to heaven. No, it is by grace that we've 642 00:49:46,760 --> 00:49:50,800 been saved by the demonstration of our love for God. 643 00:49:51,120 --> 00:49:55,280 That thank you God, that you've counted me worthy to receive 644 00:49:55,280 --> 00:49:58,640 this life. Hallelujah, Hallelujah. 645 00:49:59,160 --> 00:50:03,280 So look at Ephesians chapter 2 verse 8 to 10. 646 00:50:04,160 --> 00:50:07,480 Ephesians chapter 2, verse 8 to 10. 647 00:50:07,960 --> 00:50:14,800 He says that by God who is rich in mercy, for by grace you have 648 00:50:14,800 --> 00:50:18,280 been saved through faith, and that's not of yourself. 649 00:50:18,640 --> 00:50:24,560 It is a gift of God, not of work, lest anyone should boast. 650 00:50:25,960 --> 00:50:30,960 For we are is workmanship created in Christ Jesus for good 651 00:50:30,960 --> 00:50:35,360 works which God prepared beforehand that we should work 652 00:50:35,360 --> 00:50:36,760 in them. Hallelujah. 653 00:50:36,960 --> 00:50:39,880 So there's a good work that Christ has prepared for us to 654 00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:42,000 work in. So if you've come into the 655 00:50:42,040 --> 00:50:45,280 saving knowledge of Christ, there's a good work that Christ 656 00:50:45,280 --> 00:50:49,760 has prepared for us to work in. You've been predestined to do 657 00:50:49,760 --> 00:50:52,680 the works of Christ. So if you've come to the saving 658 00:50:52,680 --> 00:50:56,360 knowledge of Christ, there's not the time that you fold your arms 659 00:50:56,360 --> 00:50:58,320 low. It's a time that you would find 660 00:50:58,320 --> 00:51:02,400 something to do for Christ. It's the time that you find 661 00:51:02,400 --> 00:51:06,120 something to do for Christ where it says that we eyes workmanship 662 00:51:06,120 --> 00:51:10,920 created in crisis for good works that we we've been created to 663 00:51:11,120 --> 00:51:14,680 perform a certain assignment. You've been created to perform a 664 00:51:14,680 --> 00:51:17,520 certain duty. It is not by chance that you 665 00:51:17,520 --> 00:51:21,400 came to this earth. It's not by mere heart of your 666 00:51:21,400 --> 00:51:24,400 parents coming together. That's why he came on to this 667 00:51:24,400 --> 00:51:26,240 earth. You came on to this earth for a 668 00:51:26,240 --> 00:51:28,720 purpose. You came on to this earth for an 669 00:51:28,720 --> 00:51:30,920 assignment. You came on to this earth for a 670 00:51:30,920 --> 00:51:34,520 duty, and you must see to read that you perform it. 671 00:51:35,280 --> 00:51:38,080 You must see to read that you performance because at the end 672 00:51:38,080 --> 00:51:40,160 of the day you would account for it. 673 00:51:41,240 --> 00:51:44,720 God is only one that gives a gifts then comes back to ask 674 00:51:44,720 --> 00:51:46,760 that what did you use the gifts to do? 675 00:51:47,760 --> 00:51:50,480 Everyone here as far as you've come into the saving knowledge 676 00:51:50,480 --> 00:51:53,760 of Christ, there are assignments given to all of us. 677 00:51:54,120 --> 00:51:56,360 There are charges given to all of us. 678 00:51:56,600 --> 00:51:59,720 Just as Christ gave Peter the charge that he should go out 679 00:51:59,720 --> 00:52:02,560 there and preach the word, He should go out there and turn to 680 00:52:02,560 --> 00:52:04,520 his floor. That's the same way that Christ 681 00:52:04,520 --> 00:52:07,000 has also given us each and all of us a charge. 682 00:52:07,400 --> 00:52:11,120 He saw beyond our limitation and who accounts for it. 683 00:52:11,360 --> 00:52:15,280 And if we get there, we wouldn't say that God, I didn't know. 684 00:52:15,600 --> 00:52:19,920 Nah, He said He has blessed our with all spiritual blessings in 685 00:52:19,920 --> 00:52:22,600 heavenly places. That means He has given us 686 00:52:22,760 --> 00:52:26,840 everything we need to ensure that the work that Christ has 687 00:52:26,840 --> 00:52:31,320 called us into would perform. So at the place of judgement, at 688 00:52:31,320 --> 00:52:34,440 the day Christ would come, we will not have an excuse that I 689 00:52:34,440 --> 00:52:37,960 wasn't able to do it. No, you will not have that 690 00:52:37,960 --> 00:52:41,400 excuse that you weren't able to do because everything that you 691 00:52:41,400 --> 00:52:43,680 need, Christ had made it available. 692 00:52:44,560 --> 00:52:47,800 Everything that you need Christ had made available just to see 693 00:52:47,800 --> 00:52:51,560 that you work the work he has called you to do, just to see 694 00:52:51,560 --> 00:52:53,680 that you work the work they has called you to do. 695 00:52:53,960 --> 00:52:58,600 Just ask them story. Christ gave that the Kingdom of 696 00:52:58,920 --> 00:53:04,040 God has been likened unto a master going on a long journey, 697 00:53:04,320 --> 00:53:09,600 and He gave this one talent to His servants. 698 00:53:09,920 --> 00:53:14,120 You should understand that it wasn't people that were outside 699 00:53:14,120 --> 00:53:16,800 His fossil, those people in His household. 700 00:53:17,160 --> 00:53:20,760 So as far as you are in the household of Christ, as far as 701 00:53:20,760 --> 00:53:23,600 you are part of the family of Christ, that means there's a 702 00:53:23,640 --> 00:53:25,320 charge that has been given to you. 703 00:53:25,560 --> 00:53:27,960 That means there's a talent that Christ has given to you. 704 00:53:28,160 --> 00:53:30,680 That means that there's a gift that Christ has given to you. 705 00:53:30,920 --> 00:53:34,240 And then on the day of reckoning, Christ will ask you 706 00:53:34,520 --> 00:53:38,440 what did you do with the gift? And most of the times you are 707 00:53:38,440 --> 00:53:41,920 ready to judge. The one that they gave him one 708 00:53:41,920 --> 00:53:44,800 talent and he hid it. We've got to Sunday school to 709 00:53:44,840 --> 00:53:45,960 teach us. That's all. 710 00:53:45,960 --> 00:53:49,600 The one with the five talent, he used it and he produced extra 5. 711 00:53:49,760 --> 00:53:52,360 The one with the two, he used it and produced extra 5. 712 00:53:52,600 --> 00:53:54,600 But the one with the 1, he went to hid it. 713 00:53:54,800 --> 00:53:58,760 But some of us, we are like the seven that had the one talent. 714 00:54:00,160 --> 00:54:03,840 Christ has given you some maybe you don't see it as a gift, but 715 00:54:03,840 --> 00:54:07,080 Christ has given you something inherent seeing you but because 716 00:54:07,080 --> 00:54:11,200 you see that this person is preaching so well, this person 717 00:54:11,200 --> 00:54:14,080 is the person is sleeping. The person is doing something so 718 00:54:14,320 --> 00:54:17,200 me there. My own is too small, so I don't 719 00:54:17,200 --> 00:54:19,640 do I don't do it. You let me just go and sleep. 720 00:54:20,320 --> 00:54:23,080 I'm sure I've been saved. Let me just go and sleep. 721 00:54:23,280 --> 00:54:25,600 You welcome. On the day of reckoning, you 722 00:54:25,720 --> 00:54:28,360 account for it. On the day of reckoning, you 723 00:54:28,360 --> 00:54:31,760 account for it. Whether Christ gave you a huge 724 00:54:31,760 --> 00:54:35,440 assignment, whether Christ gave you a little assignment, no 725 00:54:35,440 --> 00:54:38,240 matter what, there's a charge given to us. 726 00:54:38,440 --> 00:54:40,880 As far as we've come into the saving knowledge of Christ, 727 00:54:41,040 --> 00:54:44,520 there's a charge given to us. And we must see to read that we 728 00:54:44,520 --> 00:54:47,040 perform it. We must see to read our 729 00:54:47,040 --> 00:54:49,440 performance. And it will not be that on the 730 00:54:49,440 --> 00:54:53,040 day of reckoning you talk God, that God I didn't know. 731 00:54:53,040 --> 00:54:58,480 No, there will be no excuse on that day that I didn't know that 732 00:54:58,480 --> 00:55:01,720 He gave me this charge. Oh, there will be no excuse on 733 00:55:01,720 --> 00:55:05,680 that day because everything that you need Christ has made 734 00:55:05,680 --> 00:55:08,920 available for you. Everything that you need, Christ 735 00:55:08,920 --> 00:55:12,640 has made available for you to see, to read, that you perform 736 00:55:12,640 --> 00:55:15,320 the calling He has given to you. Hallelujah. 737 00:55:15,640 --> 00:55:20,040 And for us to do the work that Christ has called us, it is done 738 00:55:20,040 --> 00:55:22,200 at the place of fulfilling our ministry. 739 00:55:22,800 --> 00:55:25,440 It's not at the place of fulfilling our ministry. 740 00:55:25,680 --> 00:55:27,840 And most of the time, if you hear the word ministry, you 741 00:55:27,840 --> 00:55:30,680 might feel like, oh, ministry is meant for the pastors. 742 00:55:30,680 --> 00:55:32,240 Ministry is meant for the prophets. 743 00:55:32,440 --> 00:55:34,160 Ministry is meant for the teachers. 744 00:55:34,400 --> 00:55:38,920 But ministry itself is meant for you and I Hallelujah, ministry 745 00:55:38,920 --> 00:55:42,960 itself is meant for you and I. Ministry simply means rendering 746 00:55:42,960 --> 00:55:46,240 of service. Ministry, it simply means 747 00:55:46,240 --> 00:55:49,920 rending of service first unto God and unto men. 748 00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:53,800 That's what ministry is about. Let's look at Ephesians chapter 749 00:55:53,800 --> 00:56:00,400 4 verse 11 to 12. Ephesians chapter 4 verse 11 to 750 00:56:00,400 --> 00:56:03,600 12. He says that please kindly give 751 00:56:03,600 --> 00:56:14,400 me the verse 10. He said He who descended is also 752 00:56:14,440 --> 00:56:19,080 the one who ascended far above all the heavens, that he might 753 00:56:19,120 --> 00:56:25,560 filled all things. And he and he himself gave some 754 00:56:25,560 --> 00:56:30,640 to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some 755 00:56:30,640 --> 00:56:34,240 pastors and teachers. Then the last verses for the 756 00:56:34,400 --> 00:56:38,280 equipping of the Saints, for the work of ministry, for the 757 00:56:38,280 --> 00:56:41,760 edifying of the body of Christ. So you could see that for the 758 00:56:41,880 --> 00:56:44,640 equipping of the Saints, for the work of ministry. 759 00:56:44,840 --> 00:56:48,520 So he didn't say that this ministry is meant for the people 760 00:56:48,520 --> 00:56:52,640 that he has given this gifts to know, but He has given us, He 761 00:56:52,640 --> 00:56:56,320 has made these people apostles. He has made these people's 762 00:56:56,320 --> 00:57:01,320 pastors so that by their charge, their charge is that they would 763 00:57:01,400 --> 00:57:04,040 equip us, the Saints. As far as we've come into the 764 00:57:04,080 --> 00:57:07,320 same knowledge of Christ, we've been made Saints, We've made the 765 00:57:07,320 --> 00:57:10,080 righteousness of of God in Christ Jesus. 766 00:57:10,320 --> 00:57:12,600 So now that we've been made the righteousness of God in Christ 767 00:57:12,600 --> 00:57:17,480 Jesus, that means the assignment of the pastors of the prophet is 768 00:57:17,520 --> 00:57:20,600 to make sure that we are equipped for the work of 769 00:57:20,600 --> 00:57:22,640 ministry. So the work of ministry is to be 770 00:57:22,640 --> 00:57:25,880 done by you and I. We must see to it that we do the 771 00:57:25,880 --> 00:57:27,960 assignment that God has given unto us. 772 00:57:27,960 --> 00:57:31,120 Hallelujah, we do the assignment that God has given to us. 773 00:57:31,120 --> 00:57:33,600 So the fivefold ministry is to equip us. 774 00:57:33,800 --> 00:57:36,120 So any time we come to church, pastor would preach to us. 775 00:57:36,360 --> 00:57:41,120 They set up orders to equip us to train us to see to the end 776 00:57:41,120 --> 00:57:45,080 that we perform our ministry to see to the end that we perform 777 00:57:45,080 --> 00:57:47,600 our ministry and we are blessed in escape bedroom. 778 00:57:47,960 --> 00:57:51,760 But then that as far as you perform a tarsier, someone will 779 00:57:51,760 --> 00:57:54,040 approach you or you should do it this way. 780 00:57:54,320 --> 00:57:57,240 You should do it this way. Next time do it like this next 781 00:57:57,240 --> 00:58:00,200 time don't do it like this. It's to the end that the person 782 00:58:00,200 --> 00:58:03,800 is seeing that at the end of the day, you fulfill your ministry. 783 00:58:04,120 --> 00:58:07,360 So anytime someone approach you that all you didn't do this one 784 00:58:07,360 --> 00:58:10,480 so well, you know the person doesn't like you and sometimes 785 00:58:10,520 --> 00:58:13,960 you are ready to feel like Ah, after all is there is and I'm 786 00:58:13,960 --> 00:58:15,760 your Juma and then I'm in a frame. 787 00:58:15,800 --> 00:58:21,600 So if that situation comes, that circumstances come, we are ready 788 00:58:21,600 --> 00:58:24,240 to lay back. Then that means we, we get this 789 00:58:24,920 --> 00:58:27,040 mindset that I won't do the work again. 790 00:58:27,520 --> 00:58:29,400 It's a Yamiya Dumani. I'm in the FM. 791 00:58:29,400 --> 00:58:33,840 So you won't do the work again. But this prophet, this pastor, 792 00:58:34,040 --> 00:58:36,560 they are there to see that we do our work. 793 00:58:36,760 --> 00:58:39,720 So they are there to equip us. So the elders that they've been 794 00:58:39,720 --> 00:58:43,080 said before us, they are there to equip us to see to the end 795 00:58:43,080 --> 00:58:47,120 that will go to the fullness on the statue of Christ, 796 00:58:47,160 --> 00:58:50,200 Hallelujah. So we should avail ourselves to 797 00:58:50,200 --> 00:58:52,680 be trained. We should avail ourselves to 798 00:58:52,720 --> 00:58:55,200 perform the work that Christ has given unto us. 799 00:58:55,560 --> 00:58:58,400 Hallelujah. We should avail ourselves to see 800 00:58:58,400 --> 00:59:02,200 that whatever Christ has called us into, whatever place that 801 00:59:02,200 --> 00:59:05,680 Christ has called us into, whatever assignment that Christ 802 00:59:05,680 --> 00:59:09,000 has called us into, would demonstrate our love at that 803 00:59:09,000 --> 00:59:11,760 point and fulfill the assignment He has given to us. 804 00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:14,840 If yours is to serve, serve diligently. 805 00:59:15,000 --> 00:59:17,800 If yours is to preach, preach diligently. 806 00:59:17,960 --> 00:59:21,200 If yours is to win souls, win souls diligently. 807 00:59:21,320 --> 00:59:25,760 Whatever Christ has given unto you, whatever assignment Christ 808 00:59:25,760 --> 00:59:29,720 has given unto you, see to it that you do it diligently. 809 00:59:30,560 --> 00:59:33,760 See to it that you do it diligently, and understand that 810 00:59:33,760 --> 00:59:36,200 you are not at a disadvantage point. 811 00:59:36,200 --> 00:59:38,800 No, we have the Holy Spirit in us. 812 00:59:39,240 --> 00:59:43,480 We have the Holy Spirit with us. Hallelujah, Hallelujah. 813 00:59:44,720 --> 00:59:46,920 So most of the time people apply at home. 814 00:59:47,360 --> 00:59:49,920 As far as it's ministry. So it is, it will be in the four 815 00:59:49,920 --> 00:59:52,920 corners of the church. It is the other church that we 816 00:59:52,920 --> 00:59:56,600 perform ministry. But no, it is outside the church 817 00:59:56,920 --> 01:00:00,560 that we perform ministry because after all, how many hours do we 818 01:00:00,560 --> 01:00:05,680 spend here this whole week? Monday we came to church and on 819 01:00:05,680 --> 01:00:09,040 this Sunday. So if you total, it's not even 820 01:00:09,040 --> 01:00:12,240 up to 10 hours. So the life that we are living, 821 01:00:12,240 --> 01:00:15,440 the life of Christ that we are living is to be lived outside. 822 01:00:15,800 --> 01:00:18,640 So if you come into the church and then you demonstrate a 823 01:00:18,640 --> 01:00:21,720 different lifestyle, everyone is seeing that oh, this person does 824 01:00:21,760 --> 01:00:24,920 for Miami also for Miami. And you go to your workplace and 825 01:00:24,920 --> 01:00:27,080 it's not seen like that. That means you are not 826 01:00:27,080 --> 01:00:31,080 fulfilling your ministry wall. But it is not here because if 827 01:00:31,080 --> 01:00:33,360 you come to the body of Christ, So we gather here. 828 01:00:33,680 --> 01:00:37,800 We gather here to be equipped, we gather here to be trained, we 829 01:00:37,800 --> 01:00:41,480 gather here to be taught. So to the end as we will perform 830 01:00:41,480 --> 01:00:44,880 that ministry outside. So if you go out there, how do 831 01:00:44,880 --> 01:00:47,920 we live our life? How do we live our life? 832 01:00:48,040 --> 01:00:51,400 How do men see us? If men see us, how would they 833 01:00:51,400 --> 01:00:53,800 say that? Yeah, this person loves the 834 01:00:53,800 --> 01:00:56,640 Lord. What do we do outside? 835 01:00:56,640 --> 01:01:01,560 Can't men outside vets that are this person is different at your 836 01:01:01,560 --> 01:01:04,880 workplace. If everyone is into corruption, 837 01:01:05,240 --> 01:01:08,360 if everyone is going the other way around, they are gossiping 838 01:01:08,360 --> 01:01:11,160 about they see you. They are they are by biting 839 01:01:11,200 --> 01:01:14,720 against someone, you as a believer, what are you supposed 840 01:01:14,720 --> 01:01:17,240 to do? But it's not to the end. 841 01:01:17,240 --> 01:01:21,240 I would preach and preach and preach, but our lifestyle must 842 01:01:21,240 --> 01:01:24,440 connote that yes, indeed we have Christ in US. 843 01:01:25,200 --> 01:01:28,440 Because if you are demonstrating that you have Christ in you, it 844 01:01:28,440 --> 01:01:32,400 is very easy to preach the Word. But I understand you now. 845 01:01:32,400 --> 01:01:35,120 You are like them. You go to work, you go to 846 01:01:35,120 --> 01:01:37,640 school, they are gossiping, you are with them, you are gossiping 847 01:01:37,640 --> 01:01:39,600 together. Then you stand up and tell them 848 01:01:39,600 --> 01:01:41,040 I have to preach the Word to you. 849 01:01:41,680 --> 01:01:45,680 Don't like echo, I know one of us and today you want to preach 850 01:01:45,680 --> 01:01:49,560 the Word to me. So whatever we do, we must see 851 01:01:49,560 --> 01:01:55,560 to it that there's consequences with how we live our life, 852 01:01:55,960 --> 01:01:58,720 there's consequences with how we live our life. 853 01:01:58,920 --> 01:02:02,560 If indeed we want to portray the love of Christ across, that 854 01:02:02,560 --> 01:02:07,360 means our lifestyle must depict that we have Christ in us, our 855 01:02:07,360 --> 01:02:10,840 lifestyle must depict that we have Christ in US, and our 856 01:02:11,120 --> 01:02:14,720 actions also must depict that we have Christ in US. 857 01:02:15,040 --> 01:02:19,080 And one ministry that we've been called into is the ministry of 858 01:02:19,080 --> 01:02:22,800 reconciliation. Hallelujah, the ministry of 859 01:02:22,800 --> 01:02:26,480 reconciliation. This an important assignment, an 860 01:02:26,480 --> 01:02:31,520 important charge that Christ gave to all of us, an important 861 01:02:31,520 --> 01:02:33,520 charge that Christ gave to all of us. 862 01:02:33,680 --> 01:02:38,680 So we are looking at 2nd Corinthians chapter 5, verse 17 863 01:02:38,680 --> 01:02:46,080 to 22nd Corinthians chapter 5. Yes, He says that. 864 01:02:46,680 --> 01:02:51,440 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. 865 01:02:51,920 --> 01:02:56,640 All things have passed away. Behold, all things have become 866 01:02:56,640 --> 01:03:00,680 new. Now all things are of God who 867 01:03:00,680 --> 01:03:05,400 has reconciled us to himself through Christ Jesus and has 868 01:03:05,400 --> 01:03:08,760 given us the ministry of reconciliation. 869 01:03:09,720 --> 01:03:16,320 That is, that was that is that God was in Christ reconciling 870 01:03:16,320 --> 01:03:20,560 the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to 871 01:03:20,560 --> 01:03:25,480 them, and as committed to us the word of reconciliation. 872 01:03:25,720 --> 01:03:28,200 Hallelujah. He has committed towards the 873 01:03:28,200 --> 01:03:33,320 welcome of frequency and says that by now and then we are 874 01:03:33,440 --> 01:03:37,560 ambassadors for Christ as though God were pleading through us. 875 01:03:37,800 --> 01:03:40,240 We employ you on Christ's behalf. 876 01:03:40,480 --> 01:03:43,480 Be reconciled to God. Hallelujah. 877 01:03:43,760 --> 01:03:46,760 Be reconciled to God. So there's a charge that has 878 01:03:46,760 --> 01:03:50,400 been given to you and I that would reconcile the world back 879 01:03:50,400 --> 01:03:54,720 to Christ and the reconciliation is not to be done by us, but all 880 01:03:54,720 --> 01:03:58,840 that we need to do is to present ourselves that Lord have come. 881 01:03:58,840 --> 01:04:01,960 Use me for your assignment. So if you go out and you're 882 01:04:01,960 --> 01:04:05,320 preaching the Word, it is not of your own capacity that you 883 01:04:05,320 --> 01:04:07,520 preach the Word. It's not of your own capacity 884 01:04:07,520 --> 01:04:09,920 that you reconcile men unto Christ. 885 01:04:10,080 --> 01:04:11,960 He says that it is done by God himself. 886 01:04:12,800 --> 01:04:16,480 Now it's reconciling the Word unto Himself through Christ. 887 01:04:16,680 --> 01:04:20,440 So all that Christ needs from you is that you use yourself as 888 01:04:20,520 --> 01:04:24,480 an as a vessel. You use yourself as vessel to 889 01:04:24,480 --> 01:04:28,040 propagate His gospel. You use yourself as vessel to 890 01:04:28,040 --> 01:04:32,440 preach the Word Hallelujah. You use yourself as vessel to 891 01:04:32,440 --> 01:04:34,840 preach their way. So now that you've been made and 892 01:04:34,840 --> 01:04:38,720 you there's not the opportunity to sit down there and say after 893 01:04:38,720 --> 01:04:42,280 I've been saved, after I know the Christ, but this is the 894 01:04:42,280 --> 01:04:46,440 opportunity to go out there to the dying souls and preach the 895 01:04:46,440 --> 01:04:49,320 gospel to them. Let them understand that Christ 896 01:04:49,840 --> 01:04:52,920 has that power to save them. Hallelujah. 897 01:04:53,200 --> 01:04:55,000 Christ has the power to save them. 898 01:04:55,200 --> 01:04:57,360 And Christ is not ready to condemn them. 899 01:04:57,640 --> 01:04:59,960 He doesn't see their sin by sins. 900 01:05:00,040 --> 01:05:04,040 He sees beyond their sins. He sees beyond their sins. 901 01:05:04,200 --> 01:05:07,200 So they should come back to God. They should come back to their 902 01:05:07,200 --> 01:05:09,640 souls. And this charge is given unto us 903 01:05:10,680 --> 01:05:14,080 that day in their house. As far as you are in counting 904 01:05:14,080 --> 01:05:20,000 men, we must tell someone that God loves you and God wants you 905 01:05:20,000 --> 01:05:23,480 to be part of the food. We must not see the person 906 01:05:23,480 --> 01:05:25,920 limitation. If you go out there and we are 907 01:05:25,920 --> 01:05:30,880 preaching the gospel, we shouldn't discriminate that 908 01:05:30,880 --> 01:05:32,840 after all, this person is far gone. 909 01:05:33,360 --> 01:05:35,560 This person. There's nothing good that can 910 01:05:35,920 --> 01:05:39,240 become out of the person, but God has been as that charge. 911 01:05:39,400 --> 01:05:42,120 No matter the person's circumstances, no matter the 912 01:05:42,120 --> 01:05:45,440 sin, just preach the Word and tell the person that God loves 913 01:05:45,440 --> 01:06:41,120 him. And so that Christ loves them, 914 01:06:41,560 --> 01:06:44,600 that will tell the soul that inspiration that Christ loves 915 01:06:44,600 --> 01:06:47,520 them, that will tell the prostitute that Christ has the 916 01:06:47,560 --> 01:06:51,000 ability to save them without their drunkard, that Christ has 917 01:06:51,000 --> 01:06:53,880 the ability to save them, that they are not far gone. 918 01:06:53,880 --> 01:06:57,400 No, they are not far gone. They are not far reproach that 919 01:06:57,400 --> 01:07:00,720 Christ has the capacity, has the ability to save them. 920 01:07:00,920 --> 01:07:03,280 This the child that Christ has given on to us. 921 01:07:03,600 --> 01:07:07,320 And it's not that we'll do it on our we have the empowerment of 922 01:07:07,320 --> 01:07:11,120 the Holy Spirit, Hallelujah. We have the empowerment of the 923 01:07:11,120 --> 01:07:15,160 Holy Spirit. So if you look at the Bible in 924 01:07:15,160 --> 01:07:19,880 Acts, when the Holy Spirit had come, we could see that Peter 925 01:07:20,160 --> 01:07:24,680 outperformed the child had given to him When the Holy Spirit had 926 01:07:24,680 --> 01:07:29,040 come, he outperformed at that point when the Holy Spirit had 927 01:07:29,040 --> 01:07:31,000 come. And then the people were like, 928 01:07:31,600 --> 01:07:35,440 these people are drunk. And Peter woke up that sorry, 929 01:07:37,120 --> 01:07:40,120 the people, I was like, I know these people are drunk. 930 01:07:40,360 --> 01:07:42,880 And Peter stood up, said, no, we are not drunk. 931 01:07:42,880 --> 01:07:45,360 Who? Nah, there's a power that is 932 01:07:45,360 --> 01:07:48,960 working in US. That's an inherent power that is 933 01:07:48,960 --> 01:07:53,520 working in US, and it is Christ and you propagate the gospel. 934 01:07:53,720 --> 01:07:57,280 What did Peter say? He said that this day the 935 01:07:57,280 --> 01:07:59,200 promise of God has been fulfilled. 936 01:07:59,400 --> 01:08:02,840 He says that on the last day I poured my spirits upon all 937 01:08:02,840 --> 01:08:06,560 flesh, and it has is being performed, and he propagates the 938 01:08:06,600 --> 01:08:09,200 gospel. And at that point he said the 939 01:08:09,200 --> 01:08:12,360 words of God says that the heart of men was cut. 940 01:08:13,600 --> 01:08:17,240 The heart of men was cut and they asked what then can we do? 941 01:08:22,359 --> 01:08:26,960 The heart of men was cut and they asked what can we do? 942 01:08:27,479 --> 01:08:32,479 That means Pipta outperformed on that day with the empowerment of 943 01:08:32,479 --> 01:08:35,439 the Holy Spirit. Peter outperformed that day. 944 01:08:35,840 --> 01:08:37,920 Hallelujah. So everything I'm saying 945 01:08:37,920 --> 01:08:41,160 conclusion that we need the power of the Holy Spirit. 946 01:08:41,399 --> 01:08:44,040 We need the power of the Holy Spirit to perform this charge. 947 01:08:44,279 --> 01:08:47,319 We must understand that the language of preaching the word, 948 01:08:47,520 --> 01:08:53,359 it is not in utterance, but it is in power, same power because 949 01:08:53,359 --> 01:08:56,399 the picture let us understand that he said that you will 950 01:08:56,399 --> 01:08:58,479 receive power when the Holy Spirits come. 951 01:08:58,600 --> 01:09:00,439 He never said you will receive all trance. 952 01:09:00,600 --> 01:09:03,399 So even the time you are going out there to propagate the 953 01:09:03,399 --> 01:09:06,760 gospel, it's the same power that you propagate the gospel. 954 01:09:06,880 --> 01:09:09,040 So don't say beyond your limitation. 955 01:09:09,240 --> 01:09:12,359 It is that you come on to the Father that oh God, see my 956 01:09:12,359 --> 01:09:16,439 limitation, but grants me the power, grants me the grace and 957 01:09:16,439 --> 01:09:19,600 you will not outperform the assignment that God has given to 958 01:09:19,600 --> 01:09:23,760 us and must understand that it is a partner between US and God. 959 01:09:24,000 --> 01:09:26,399 It's a partnership between US and the Holy Spirit. 960 01:09:26,600 --> 01:09:31,399 If look at Philippians chapter 2 verse 12 to 13, it says that 961 01:09:31,640 --> 01:09:35,120 work out your salvation with fear and trembling. 962 01:09:35,520 --> 01:09:39,920 But the last verse is that but it is God who worketh in you 963 01:09:40,319 --> 01:09:43,760 both to will and to art. So it is the same God that will 964 01:09:43,760 --> 01:09:48,279 put that desire in your heart to do His work, and this same God 965 01:09:48,279 --> 01:09:51,080 that will give you the empowerment to do His work. 966 01:09:51,279 --> 01:09:54,400 But what is needed of us, what is required of us that would 967 01:09:54,400 --> 01:09:58,360 present ourselves for the work of God, will present ourselves 968 01:09:58,360 --> 01:10:01,280 for the work of God. It's for this reason that God 969 01:10:01,280 --> 01:10:05,440 has called you and I that will demonstrate His love to all. 970 01:10:05,880 --> 01:10:08,680 It's for this reason God has called you and I that will 971 01:10:08,680 --> 01:10:11,360 propagate His gospel to the whole world. 972 01:10:11,600 --> 01:10:15,720 So let's avail ourselves and see to it as we perform the charge 973 01:10:15,720 --> 01:10:19,080 that God has given to us. God blesses where this day. 974 01:10:19,080 --> 01:10:40,870 Amen. Hallelujah, today is the day 975 01:10:40,870 --> 01:10:46,190 that the Lord is calling us during our chancing to it that 976 01:10:47,110 --> 01:10:51,350 we should love Him and He love us at this moment. 977 01:10:51,430 --> 01:10:55,430 If you've not given your life to the man Jesus Christ, the man 978 01:10:55,430 --> 01:11:00,520 that love us so much that he came to die for our sins, I 979 01:11:00,520 --> 01:11:03,520 invite you that come and give your life to him. 980 01:11:03,920 --> 01:11:07,480 He is the one that the Father has given the accreditation and 981 01:11:07,480 --> 01:11:12,080 has given the power that through him we will be saved without the 982 01:11:12,080 --> 01:11:14,920 man Jesus Christ. You can't be saved without the 983 01:11:14,920 --> 01:11:18,080 man Jesus Christ. Your life is as risk because the 984 01:11:18,080 --> 01:11:21,880 Bible makes understand that John 1010 that the devil came to 985 01:11:21,880 --> 01:11:26,040 steal, destroy and to steal, but he came to give us life. 986 01:11:26,800 --> 01:11:29,120 So without the man Jesus Christ, you don't have life. 987 01:11:29,480 --> 01:11:32,480 Without the man Jesus Christ, there's nothing that you can do 988 01:11:32,640 --> 01:11:36,240 that will go well. So I'm giving the man Jesus 989 01:11:36,240 --> 01:11:39,360 Christ to you that when he comes into your life, He will 990 01:11:39,360 --> 01:11:42,320 transform your life. When he comes into your life, he 991 01:11:42,320 --> 01:11:44,480 will give you life. Hallelujah. 992 01:11:44,680 --> 01:11:48,520 Who is ready to give his life to this man Jesus Christ, the one 993 01:11:48,520 --> 01:11:52,720 that love us so much, the one that has our burdens in his 994 01:11:52,720 --> 01:11:56,480 heart, who is giving his life to the man Jesus Christ? 995 01:11:57,040 --> 01:12:01,800 He's ready to accept anyone that is willing to give his life to 996 01:12:01,800 --> 01:12:12,000 him who is coming. If no one is coming, then we 997 01:12:12,000 --> 01:12:15,360 will say Amen. If you are shy to give your life 998 01:12:15,360 --> 01:12:20,000 to Jesus Christ in public, when we are done, you can see us so 999 01:12:20,000 --> 01:12:22,520 that we give you the man Jesus Christ. 1000 01:12:22,680 --> 01:12:28,200 God bless you. OK, so if you want to give your 1001 01:12:28,200 --> 01:12:32,880 life to Jesus Christ, you can say it after me, that dear Lord 1002 01:12:32,880 --> 01:12:40,400 Jesus, I accept that I am a Sinner, that you came to die for 1003 01:12:40,400 --> 01:12:46,000 my sins. I give myself to you, take my 1004 01:12:46,000 --> 01:12:51,280 life and make me whole in the name of Jesus, Amen. 1005 01:12:56,520 --> 01:13:01,000 If you are clapping to the Lord, do it better is what shall we 1006 01:13:01,000 --> 01:13:04,840 say to our sister Mavis for such a powerful word? 1007 01:13:05,240 --> 01:13:10,000 God, which the best you, Sister Mavis, shall we rise to our feet 1008 01:13:10,800 --> 01:13:21,960 and pray?

Our sister was speaking. 1018 01:17:47,960 --> 01:17:49,920 She said that Peter loved the Lord. 1019 01:17:51,120 --> 01:17:55,000 Everything that Peter did showed that he loved the Lord, but he 1020 01:17:55,000 --> 01:17:57,800 didn't have the capacity to die for the law. 1021 01:17:58,320 --> 01:18:03,680 This is the story of many of us. We love the law, but we don't 1022 01:18:03,680 --> 01:18:08,320 have the capacity to stand for God when it has to do with life 1023 01:18:08,360 --> 01:18:11,240 and death. Some of us, we think about our 1024 01:18:11,240 --> 01:18:15,800 work so much. Our work frightens us so much. 1025 01:18:16,720 --> 01:18:20,080 Some of us, our money frightens us so much. 1026 01:18:21,000 --> 01:18:23,520 Some of us, our family frightens us so much. 1027 01:18:23,760 --> 01:18:27,360 We love God when we come to church, everything that we do 1028 01:18:27,360 --> 01:18:31,560 shows that we love God. But the capacity, the capacity 1029 01:18:32,800 --> 01:18:36,080 in this moment, the call is a call on to obedience. 1030 01:18:36,720 --> 01:18:41,680 The call is a call to stretch and take a stand for the Lord. 1031 01:18:41,840 --> 01:18:45,920 This is the call this morning. But you see, Jesus, he said 1032 01:18:45,920 --> 01:18:49,600 something said that Jesus didn't despise the weakness of Peter. 1033 01:18:50,840 --> 01:18:53,560 He still called Peter. I said, Peter, though you have 1034 01:18:53,560 --> 01:18:55,400 denied me, I still. Believe in you. 1035 01:18:56,680 --> 01:19:00,960 Some of us, the call of God is hanging upon our heads, but 1036 01:19:00,960 --> 01:19:04,240 because we lack capacity, some of us have even given up. 1037 01:19:04,880 --> 01:19:08,880 Yes, when I was in SHS, I used to be on fire for God, but now I 1038 01:19:08,880 --> 01:19:10,880 don't think God can use me anymore. 1039 01:19:11,400 --> 01:19:14,040 But to this person, he said that God is still telling you that 1040 01:19:14,200 --> 01:19:18,680 yes, He still believes in you. Yes, He can use you, but the 1041 01:19:18,680 --> 01:19:22,200 matter is the capacity. This morning, in the next 5 1042 01:19:22,200 --> 01:19:25,920 minutes, you want to tell the Lord God, give me the capacity. 1043 01:19:26,640 --> 01:19:31,320 Give me the capacity to take a stand for you, to take a stand 1044 01:19:31,320 --> 01:19:33,520 for you.

This morning we thank you, we 1112 01:27:19,480 --> 01:27:24,000 pray in the name of Jesus, committing ourselves into Thy 1113 01:27:24,000 --> 01:27:27,480 hands.

Is it not for a reason that this 1117 01:27:42,320 --> 01:27:44,200 morning you are posing us this question? 1118 01:27:45,240 --> 01:27:50,760 Could it be that some of us do not demonstrate our love unto 1119 01:27:50,760 --> 01:27:55,640 you anymore? Could it be that some of us have 1120 01:27:55,680 --> 01:28:00,280 abandoned the kind of love we had for you this morning as your 1121 01:28:00,280 --> 01:28:05,080 word has come unto us and you are posing as the question once 1122 01:28:05,080 --> 01:28:10,240 again, do we truly love you? When you pose this question to 1123 01:28:10,280 --> 01:28:13,360 Peter, he said, you know all things. 1124 01:28:14,000 --> 01:28:18,200 And even as you pose us this question this morning, we also 1125 01:28:18,200 --> 01:28:21,000 respond that you know all things. 1126 01:28:21,720 --> 01:28:25,880 You know what is deep down in our hearts, You know whether we 1127 01:28:25,880 --> 01:28:29,520 love you or not. But this morning, even as we 1128 01:28:29,520 --> 01:28:35,040 stand before you, oh Lord, we open our spirit unto you, and we 1129 01:28:35,040 --> 01:28:41,280 pray in the name of Jesus that whatever our answer may be, we 1130 01:28:41,280 --> 01:28:45,200 cry unto you, spirit of the living God, that you will 1131 01:28:45,200 --> 01:28:50,800 forgive us, that you will forgive us and help us to love 1132 01:28:50,800 --> 01:28:53,640 you. Pour your love into our spirits, 1133 01:28:54,160 --> 01:28:58,880 that we shall not confess with only our mouth that we love you, 1134 01:28:59,560 --> 01:29:03,280 but we shall leave it, we shall act it. 1135 01:29:04,000 --> 01:29:08,680 In the name of Jesus, we pray committing your church into thy 1136 01:29:08,680 --> 01:29:11,440 hands.

At times we, we, we, we, we live 1139 01:29:19,040 --> 01:29:23,960 a hypocritical life. At times we do things contrary 1140 01:29:23,960 --> 01:29:27,240 to what we see. But this morning, because of 1141 01:29:27,240 --> 01:29:33,040 your weight, we cry unto you, the author and the finisher of 1142 01:29:33,200 --> 01:29:40,360 our feet, they all knowing God. May you pour the Spirit of love 1143 01:29:40,440 --> 01:29:46,760 onto your church, that your church will confess his love for 1144 01:29:46,760 --> 01:29:53,520 you, that your church will live and act his love for you, so 1145 01:29:53,520 --> 01:29:55,400 that your name will be glorified. 1146 01:29:55,920 --> 01:29:58,720 We pray committing the vessel you used this morning. 1147 01:29:59,400 --> 01:30:03,800 May you bless her and replenish everything that has come out of 1148 01:30:03,800 --> 01:30:06,520 here. In the name of our Lord Jesus 1149 01:30:06,520 --> 01:30:13,520 Christ, Amen. Amen.
