1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:07,080 Today, the, the, the, the, the title is long, you know, in as 2 00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:11,400 much as I wanted to shrink it, you know, to to make it the 3 00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:18,640 simple, but this is the simplest way I can give a title for this 4 00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:20,440 topic. So Are you ready for this? 5 00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:24,480 All right. I call it the highest 6 00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:32,680 achievement man can attain in life on earth that is highly 7 00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:38,920 valued by God. You know, this is so important. 8 00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:47,760 These are some of the topics in the Bible that that that's not 9 00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:53,520 discussed so often, OK, because this is going to challenge us. 10 00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:57,800 So listen well because this is going to challenge you. 11 00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:05,680 You know, as we are preparing to travel, I'm preparing what to 12 00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:09,680 share, especially in a place where they don't have a land, 13 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,760 they live in high rise buildings. 14 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:18,720 They don't have soil to really, you know, like to, to, to, to 15 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:24,440 make the garden bed. What they have is rooms and 16 00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:27,280 windows. So window sill planting is good, 17 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:32,000 but that's not enough. OK, So to help the brethren, we 18 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,720 we need to do more prayers and research. 19 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:36,680 Amen. Amen. 20 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:43,040 So, so please pray for us. But then as we prepare not just 21 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:46,960 for the things we want to share with the brethren in other 22 00:01:46,960 --> 00:01:53,680 places, we also need to prepare ourselves to get acquainted with 23 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:58,760 the rules and regulations. What is accepted and not 24 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:02,080 accepted in certain places. Is that correct? 25 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:06,280 Is that correct? How about our missionaries? 26 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,080 OK, from the West, you come here. 27 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:12,360 Of course you need to know the rules here, right? 28 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,880 The values, the the culture, Correct. 29 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:22,520 Is that correct? Our Indian friends, Where are 30 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:24,640 they? Yeah, right. 31 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:28,280 Am I right or am I right? Am I I'm right. 32 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:32,160 OK. So you see, wherever you go, you 33 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:36,600 know, different places, different cultures, Correct. 34 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:42,200 Hello. OK, so I'd like to show you the 35 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:46,760 first page. Understand the laws of the 36 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:50,440 country you're visiting. Where's at the Casey? 37 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:54,200 You know, at the Casey, you know, she's well travelled. 38 00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:59,680 They are well travelled like her husband right now, ASA Shakaran 39 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:06,360 somewhere OK in the world. So my point is that everywhere 40 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:11,320 we go, you know, we face people of different kinds, not just 41 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:15,480 people, but they have different loss of the land. 42 00:03:15,920 --> 00:03:19,720 Now we're travelling. So you know, there are different 43 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:24,000 laws in in Malaysia and in Singapore, you know, etcetera, 44 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:31,520 etcetera. So The thing is, when travelling 45 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:35,400 anywhere in the world, it's crucial to know and understand 46 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,400 the loss of the destination you're visiting. 47 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:43,080 You are subject to the loss of the country you're in, even if 48 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:48,600 you are not aware of them, correct, and can face penalties 49 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,240 for violations like legal consequences. 50 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:55,760 This includes understanding local regulations, customs and 51 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,920 potential restrictions on items like medications or weapons. 52 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,480 Or you know, there are things that you can bring and not 53 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:05,280 bring. See, I have things I want to 54 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:09,600 bring to Malaysia, but I cannot. I am not allowed, OK, but there 55 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:11,920 are things I can bring to Singapore, not in Malaysia. 56 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:15,560 Do you understand? So I have to, you know, because 57 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:19,240 if I, if I bring something that's not allowed, they will 58 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,440 hold me at the immigration, do you understand? 59 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:28,080 So I need to know, correct? Now here's my point. 60 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,200 So maybe you're thinking we're not travelling. 61 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,080 Why are we talking about this? OK, this is the point. 62 00:04:34,280 --> 00:04:42,440 We our citizens of heaven, Philippians 320, it says. 63 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:48,120 But our citizenship is in heaven and we eagerly await a Savior 64 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:51,760 from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who by the power that 65 00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:56,160 enables Him to bring everything under His control will transform 66 00:04:56,160 --> 00:05:00,520 our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body 67 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:06,120 from incorrupt from corruptibility, a corruptibility 68 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,280 to incorruptibility. Do you understand? 69 00:05:08,280 --> 00:05:13,480 So the point is this Philippians 320 states that are citizenship 70 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:20,080 is in heaven and living as a citizen of heaven while here on 71 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:26,240 earth means knowing and striving or making every effort to 72 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:30,080 embody. Excuse me, the values of God's 73 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:35,560 Kingdom in all aspects of life or to live according to heavenly 74 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:41,920 values, which includes loving and forgiving one another and 75 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:46,200 and the truth is many still don't understand that we are 76 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:50,680 being trained here right now in this present life on earth, 77 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,920 trained by to what? To love, to forgive. 78 00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:01,880 That's why we face a lot of conflicts, misunderstandings. 79 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:08,200 Are you having this trial? These are allowed trials. 80 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:13,640 Why? Because God is preparing us in 81 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:17,320 to heaven. Hello. 82 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:22,360 Hello. I told you this is going to 83 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:26,720 challenge all of us So listen. So know what's allowed and 84 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:32,720 what's not allowed. Question example is lying, Is 85 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:38,000 stealing, murdering or gambling Sugal? 86 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:44,120 Is it allowed in heaven? Yes No no. 87 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,440 Is singing worldly songs allowed in heaven? 88 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:53,840 What does the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords require of his 89 00:06:53,840 --> 00:06:58,480 subjects? So it's very important because 90 00:06:59,280 --> 00:07:06,520 even now, as children of the king, we ought to live worthy of 91 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,800 his return. Amen. 92 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:16,840 You see, God is holy, so we should start to, you know, 93 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:26,480 behave to conduct ourselves to live a holy life when here or in 94 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:31,000 heaven only here. Why we'll still here. 95 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:36,640 The things that we need to change, that we need, things 96 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:40,800 that needs transformation must happen. 97 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:47,480 Not in heaven starts here. This is where we are right now 98 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,400 and I tell you, there's so much struggle that we will grow 99 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:55,920 through and don't tell me you don't have because I'm a pastor 100 00:07:55,920 --> 00:08:01,560 for many years, but I still have challenges, challenges that the 101 00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:12,840 Lord allows why he wanted you, you know, to learn the Kingdom 102 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:16,480 values. Amen. 103 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:23,440 So praise the Lord. OK, so I have a testimony, but 104 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:25,520 I'm going to skip that one so we can continue. 105 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:29,560 So to to give contrast, you want a testimony. 106 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:34,440 OK, let me give you a testimony. When when was the birthday of 107 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:37,440 Kai? July 5. 108 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:45,360 OK, last July 5, we had the family like celebration 109 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:46,880 dedication. OK, I'm sorry. 110 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:53,440 So we dedicated Kai. It's it was his first birthday, 111 00:08:54,000 --> 00:09:00,560 one year old and John Lord was there and they set up and done. 112 00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:05,160 They set up the what? They decorated the place. 113 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,240 But you know what happened when everybody left? 114 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:13,360 So I started to leave the place, but I did not know that there 115 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:16,920 was a car on my right side. It's so dark, OK. 116 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,920 And I said, OK, no, the car, it's it's empty. 117 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:25,120 So I just drove turn left and you know the pickup truck, you 118 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:30,560 know, I, I hit the, the Toyota Vios again. 119 00:09:30,560 --> 00:09:33,640 I said, oh, oh, there's a car there, Simon. 120 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:38,840 So we you know, and, and my daughter said I cannot even see. 121 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,200 It's so dark.

Nobody saw. 124 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:53,440 There was no camera. It's just, I said hi, just a 125 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:55,960 scratch. Do you understand? 126 00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:02,040 But you know what I did? I said OK I park again and I 127 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:06,520 asked everyone I said who owns this car until I came to the 128 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:11,880 what is the hall and I saw John Lord Hey I asked the people who 129 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:16,520 work there do you know the owner of the red views and then they 130 00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:20,640 don't know I said.

Why? 135 00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:37,400 Because I have scratched.

That's the word. 142 00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:00,320 If you have done something wrong, you know restitution is 143 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:04,280 the word.

You apologize. 159 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:15,600 Why am I talking about this? Because this is what training we 160 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:22,520 are being trained here while we are living in the flesh in this 161 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:29,760 planet, so that we are prepared OK when we get to heaven. 162 00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:34,480 Amen. So now I want to compare this. 163 00:12:34,560 --> 00:12:37,480 So that's my testimony. So anyway, everything is sold, 164 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:40,120 we pay, etcetera.

I'm so eager to solve the 169 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:56,480 problem. That's the kind of hard don't 170 00:12:56,480 --> 00:13:03,600 run away. Don't run away from the mess 171 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,400 that we you know it's it was not intentional. 172 00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:10,880 Do you understand it was not intentional, but God. 173 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:16,480 Does God allow such trials Yes, and I'm glad it happened. 174 00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:24,120 No, I'm not glad that I, that I scratch somebody's car. 175 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:29,640 It I, I don't like that, but the test was on me. 176 00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:38,400 Will you accept responsibility? That's restitution. 177 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:46,120 So I don't care how much the cost, but at least Lord, I will 178 00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:51,560 pass the test. Can you tell somebody what test? 179 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:57,840 Come on, tell somebody. What test are you facing right 180 00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:03,640 now?

Face it. 183 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:29,000 OK, now you got the point. OK, so let's let's go to the 184 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:35,320 main point. This is somehow a comparison. 185 00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:40,560 Are you ready for this? OK, So what I have on the left 186 00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:46,600 side, the greatest achievement or status pursued or sought 187 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:51,240 after by men. This is the flesh on the right 188 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:55,480 side, the greatest verse virtue in the Kingdom of heaven 189 00:14:55,600 --> 00:15:00,160 accepted by God. So the first one, let's discuss 190 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:07,000 this now in Matthew chapter 20, verses 20 to 28, you will read 191 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:13,240 that there was this mother who requested the Lord Jesus that 192 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:19,200 his sons will sit, one will sit on the right and one will sit on 193 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:24,600 the left. He said, Lord, may you I have a 194 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,520 request. It's in the Bible. 195 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,240 OK. The mother of Zebedee's sons 196 00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:35,440 came to Jesus with her sons and kneeling down, ask a favor of 197 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:38,480 him. And Jesus said, what is it that 198 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:43,600 you want? She said, grant the one that one 199 00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:47,800 of these two sons of mine, mine may sit at your right and the 200 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,600 other at your left in your Kingdom. 201 00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:55,800 So the mother knew that Jesus is the king of kings, Amen. 202 00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:59,800 But he asked, she's asking something. 203 00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:06,680 No, because Sinabang parents Nah diligus omahimo successful and 204 00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:11,320 Ilangana correct. We want our children to become 205 00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:15,320 successful in life, correct? That's why this mother, you 206 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:19,920 know, he she came to Oh God, please, you know, have my the 207 00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:22,080 other son will sit on the right or on the left. 208 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:27,920 And then and then what happened? Let me go directly to the point 209 00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:38,400 verse 23, Jesus said to them, you will indeed drink from my 210 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:43,800 cup, but to sit on my right at my right or left is not for me 211 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:48,520 to grant. These places belong to those for 212 00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:52,200 whom they have been prepared by my father. 213 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:57,800 Wow. So the Ghantan ambition, 214 00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:02,640 correct, correct. That's normal. 215 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:07,440 I am not saying it's a sin, it's not OK. 216 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:10,520 But what what we're trying to do is we're going we're going to 217 00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:12,480 compare. So this is what the Lord Jesus 218 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:17,880 said I did. He made a contrast between the 219 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:21,720 leadership in the world and his kind of leadership. 220 00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:27,040 So this is what he said in verse 24. 221 00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:33,280 He said when the 10 heard about this, they were indignant with 222 00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:38,000 the two brothers. OK, verse 25 Jesus called them 223 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:42,320 together and said hey guys, come here, come over, gather around. 224 00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:48,480 Said you know that the rulers of the Gentiles Lord it over them 225 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:53,400 and their high officials exercise authority over them. 226 00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:57,040 He said in verse 26, not so with you. 227 00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:01,320 Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your 228 00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:06,040 servant, verse 27, and whoever wants to be first must be your 229 00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:10,120 slave, verse 28. Just as the Son of Man did not 230 00:18:10,120 --> 00:18:17,160 come to be served, but to serve and to give his life as a ransom 231 00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:22,440 for many. So that's the contrast between 232 00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:27,040 the leadership that is being exercised, the custom, the the, 233 00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:31,680 the culture in the world compared to Jesus kind of 234 00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:34,800 leadership. The leadership in the world is 235 00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:40,000 like a pyramid where the leader is on top, everybody's below. 236 00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:42,320 But Jesus leadership is different. 237 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:50,800 It's like an inverted pyramid where he is beneath serving 238 00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:55,160 everyone, holding everyone, supporting everyone. 239 00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:58,360 Is that amazing, right? That's amazing. 240 00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:01,720 His leadership is not do this, do that. 241 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:07,800 His leadership is let me show you, follow me, correct? 242 00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:10,240 It's not telling you you do this. 243 00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:12,960 He will say follow me, I'll do it. 244 00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:15,800 I'll show you. That's a many. 245 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:18,720 That's amazing. Amen. 246 00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:26,480 So in the world, leaders here are bossy, you know, but in the 247 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:30,000 Kingdom of God, it's not. You don't feel like you're 248 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:35,560 superior or better than others. You see, this is This is why I 249 00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:39,600 told you this is a challenging topic because this is going to 250 00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:45,040 change our perspective in life. We will have a Kingdom mindset, 251 00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:48,520 A heavenly mindset, not an earthly one. 252 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:57,320 Hello, hello. So listen #2 it says driven by 253 00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:01,800 prominence. Driven by prominence. 254 00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:05,520 We have Matthew 23. Now this is a long one, but I'm 255 00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:10,120 going to read it anyway. Jesus said to the crowns and, 256 00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:12,640 and to his disciples, the teachers of the law and the 257 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:16,120 Pharisees said that. Moses said, so you must be 258 00:20:16,120 --> 00:20:18,480 careful to do everything they tell you. 259 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,000 You know what? What is Jesus saying? 260 00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:26,160 They said He said that. The teachers of the law, the 261 00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:30,720 rabbi, what do they like to do? Can I have that seat over there, 262 00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:37,440 please? If this is Moses, sit as a 263 00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:40,320 judge. This rabbi, they like to sit. 264 00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:44,080 Why? Because this is identified. 265 00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:48,320 With who? With Moses, The judge, The 266 00:20:48,360 --> 00:20:53,560 authority so as though when they're seated there and and and 267 00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:57,440 conduct affairs and and give instructions. 268 00:20:58,360 --> 00:21:02,520 It's like elevating themselves. I have this authority. 269 00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:06,840 Do you understand why do they do that? 270 00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:11,080 Verse 3 So you must be careful to do everything they tell you 271 00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:16,160 control. They wanted to control people, 272 00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:21,000 but do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they 273 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:25,240 preach, you see. Hello. 274 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:30,360 Never give an advice that you cannot do or that you're not 275 00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:33,360 practicing yourself. That's the point. 276 00:21:33,360 --> 00:21:39,800 Now listen here it says verse 4, they tie up heavy loads and put 277 00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:41,920 them on other people's shoulders. 278 00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:45,200 They give you burden and they themselves are not willing to 279 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:50,840 lift a finger to move them. Verse 5, everything they do is 280 00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:55,360 done for people to see. They make their, I don't know 281 00:21:55,360 --> 00:22:03,120 how to pronounce this, their phylacteries wide and tassels on 282 00:22:03,120 --> 00:22:06,440 the garments long. You know, the the uniform. 283 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:07,920 It's like the attire. All right. 284 00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:12,560 Correct. Verse 6, if you you're on verse 285 00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:17,400 6, what does it say? Verse 6 says they love the place 286 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:22,880 of what? Honor at banquets and the most 287 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:26,280 important seats in the synagogues. 288 00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:33,040 OK they want to sit in front OK and they want what because they 289 00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:38,920 want what honor place of honor verse 7 everybody are you 290 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:42,240 following ready go.

No, it's not a sin if you're a 293 00:22:54,360 --> 00:22:57,080 student and you call your teacher teacher, OK? 294 00:22:58,120 --> 00:23:02,320 Because your teacher is really your teacher, correct? 295 00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:08,240 But this is not talking about your teacher whom you call 296 00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:10,640 teacher. This is talking about the heart 297 00:23:11,120 --> 00:23:14,560 of this rabbis who wanted to be called rabbis. 298 00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:19,560 There is a difference when somebody calls you teacher and a 299 00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:22,000 difference between you will you will require them. 300 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,920 Hey, you call me this.

But you are not to crave the 307 00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:07,160 title, the position, the honor, the prestige, because that is 308 00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:10,240 not allowed in the Kingdom of God. 309 00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:17,320 There is a different kind of character and values practiced 310 00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:21,160 in heaven because the leader is your servant. 311 00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:30,560 Wow, now you're shocked. What kind of preaching is this? 312 00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:34,600 This is the biblical leadership I'm talking about. 313 00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:40,400 Let's continue. And it says but you are not to 314 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:45,360 be called rabbi, for you have one teacher and you and you are 315 00:24:45,360 --> 00:24:48,560 all brothers. Verse 9 And do not call anyone 316 00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:53,640 on earth Father for you have one Father he and he is in heaven 317 00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:59,040 again, this is not telling us not to call our Father Father. 318 00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:07,080 This is these are the people you know, the Lord is making a 319 00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:12,040 correction that these people are the people who demands to be 320 00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:15,360 called this with this title and with this name. 321 00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:21,880 Hello. And it says nor are you to be 322 00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:26,080 called instructors for you have one instructor, the Messiah. 323 00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:29,920 Wow. But do we give instruction? 324 00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:35,240 Yes, we do, but it's different when you when you demand it. 325 00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:40,520 OK, verse 12 for those who exalt themselves will be humble. 326 00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:45,400 Listen, those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and 327 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:49,320 those who humble themselves will be exalted. 328 00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:54,000 This is what's going to be on the judgement of works. 329 00:25:57,360 --> 00:26:03,200 The motive of our hearts. OK, has a big part of the 330 00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:06,920 criteria. Amen. 331 00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:12,080 So the greatest among you will be your what, verse 11 servant. 332 00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:17,600 I'm telling you, I've been serving the Lord for many years 333 00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:23,760 and I, my heart's desire is not to become, to be called to have 334 00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:29,080 this whatever position. The only thing I want to do is 335 00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:34,920 to serve him, That's all. Forget about, oh, he's a 336 00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:36,240 prophet. Oh, he's a teacher. 337 00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:40,960 Oh, he said, forget about that. It's just the grace of the Lord 338 00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:45,040 who has granted me understanding and wisdom. 339 00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:49,640 So I understood. Oh, he's a good farming 340 00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:51,200 instructor. Oh, no, no, no. 341 00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:55,920 Listen, I just learned it. Also, I'm a good student. 342 00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:57,600 Maybe. Yeah, I will accept that. 343 00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:00,840 But I'm a student. What school? 344 00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:05,720 School of the Holy Spirit. You know what? 345 00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:12,120 My latest experiment. I have to convert cultivation of 346 00:27:12,120 --> 00:27:15,440 mushroom because the mushroom we have here are cultivated best 347 00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:20,520 outdoors, but I'm going to teach in a country where they don't 348 00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:26,080 have outdoors for their farming. So we have to teach them how to 349 00:27:26,360 --> 00:27:30,680 grow things indoor. So it was a challenging for me 350 00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:33,120 that I have to bring it in and this and adjust this. 351 00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:37,600 So, so many things that Lord, it's not working and Lord, I 352 00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:41,000 don't have much time. Lord, I like everything and I 353 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:45,000 slept and in the morning got boom dropped and inside said, 354 00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:48,800 you have to turn this, you have to drop this signature. 355 00:27:49,120 --> 00:27:50,480 I said what? What? 356 00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:53,520 So I did message. Oh yes, that's it. 357 00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:58,720 So do you understand? I'm learning a lot of things not 358 00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:05,120 because of I'm so intelligent that I understood everything, 359 00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:09,120 but you have to open your ears. That's why we call it biblical 360 00:28:09,120 --> 00:28:14,200 farming, because not everything I learned is from the articles 361 00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:16,920 that you find from books and then the Internet. 362 00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:20,520 There are so many practical things you will never find 363 00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:23,880 there, but you will find it when you pray. 364 00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:31,960 Of course, a lot of tips from the Israelis, but how are you 365 00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:37,160 going to convert the modern high tech AI technology to something 366 00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:39,600 doable for people who doesn't have money? 367 00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:45,920 Ask again, Lord. OK, down on your knees is the 368 00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:49,360 answer. So we're trying to help people, 369 00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:54,160 whether it plants or people who are sick a lot their help even 370 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,800 pastor said pastor, what happened to the pain, etc. 371 00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:59,720 Or just one night overnight 50% gone. 372 00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:05,240 I said whoa very good because you have to understand that the 373 00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:08,720 the needs of the plants are same needs of people. 374 00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:17,000 I just realized why look at me when God created Adam from 375 00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:25,440 where? He formed a clay from the soil. 376 00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:30,640 So where do you need? Where do the nutrients that we 377 00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:31,920 need? Where do we get it? 378 00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:37,760 The nutrients from the soil. But who will process it first? 379 00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:40,560 The microbes will feed the plants. 380 00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:45,280 So the plants has needs for nutrients and then people who 381 00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:47,680 needs those minerals and nutrients will get it from the 382 00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:52,280 plants. Hello, do you understand the 383 00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:54,480 connection? Now I'm not going to talk about 384 00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:58,520 farming today. So, but The thing is that what 385 00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:02,640 I'm trying to say to you is that the Bible is very significant 386 00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:07,920 because it is in the Bible. You want tips, you want to learn 387 00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:12,320 and understand farming, you read the Bible, it's here. 388 00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:16,960 That's why I, I, I was trying to research and did a lot of, you 389 00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:20,840 know, on, on many things. And I tried to experiment and 390 00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:23,720 it's, it's, it was not, it didn't work. 391 00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:28,200 It worked 20 percent, 30%, but not really. 392 00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:32,200 OK. After a time, whatever you're 393 00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:34,960 experimenting will fail. And guess what? 394 00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:37,800 You know what I did? I go to the Bible. 395 00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:40,720 I said, what does the Bible talk about this thing? 396 00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:42,880 And you read it, the tip is there. 397 00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:45,040 I said, whoa, that is what we need. 398 00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:48,600 And then after experimenting and it worked. 399 00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:50,600 You know what I did? Even at the middle of the night, 400 00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:56,360 I was outside working. I stepped one step backward and 401 00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:59,520 I give God a salute. I said God, wow. 402 00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:02,200 I don't understand how it worked, but it worked. 403 00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:07,160 The Bible is true. Do you understand? 404 00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:13,080 The Bible is so amazing, but in order for you to get something 405 00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:17,440 from God, you have to go down on your knees and say God, I do not 406 00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:19,600 understand anymore. I don't know the solution. 407 00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:22,400 Even the scientists in the world do not know the solution for 408 00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:25,360 forsarium. That's the truth until today. 409 00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:29,520 A lot of banana plantation in the Philippines went down close. 410 00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:33,400 Why? Because of forsarium and now 411 00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:35,600 we're changing it. That's why the Israelis are 412 00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:40,600 coming here because we're going to expand the cacao in Mindanao. 413 00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:45,760 So we're going to be travelling with them in Mindanao and I'm my 414 00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:48,720 ears are listening. More tips. 415 00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:56,320 But here's the thing friends, it's the heart. 416 00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:04,720 We need to have a heart that beats after God, Say God. 417 00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:10,760 I am so bankrupt of myself by myself, I cannot do anything, 418 00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:15,520 but I look up to you and say, God, you're the only help. 419 00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:17,160 Do you know the song? Any young song? 420 00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:20,200 You are my shepherd, my protector. 421 00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:24,680 That's my king. That's my king. 422 00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:29,520 Let's go back to the topic. Amen. 423 00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:35,200 So leadership through dominance, that's number three people on 424 00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:40,200 earth wants control and often seek to be served and revered. 425 00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:48,320 Don't you know, oh Nasi, boss, boss, you know they can do 426 00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:51,160 whatever they want and you just obey. 427 00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:56,160 This is the kind of leadership here. 428 00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:03,480 And if you are not the boss, you're only. 429 00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:13,000 The way you relate to your boss, you're going to please your 430 00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:19,480 boss, correct? But not in the Kingdom of God. 431 00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:25,680 You do not please people in the Kingdom of God. 432 00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:32,120 That's why Jesus said I do not receive praise from men, but he 433 00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:35,320 wants praise, commendation from who? 434 00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:41,480 From the Father. That's why it doesn't matter if 435 00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:44,720 people will not like you here on earth because you preach the 436 00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:48,520 gospel. It doesn't matter, OK? 437 00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:54,080 Give them the right to their own opinion, Hello. 438 00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:58,960 What matters is what does God have to say about you? 439 00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:04,400 So your reputation here on earth doesn't matter anymore. 440 00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:11,719 What matters the most is that Lord, am I doing well? 441 00:34:12,639 --> 00:34:16,360 Are you pleased with my life? Lord, are you happy with me? 442 00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:19,719 Hello. Amen. 443 00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:22,920 So I'm not going to read Luke 22 anymore. 444 00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:25,360 Just it's for you to just take a picture. 445 00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:30,719 And I studied at home. So let's go to the next side of 446 00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:34,000 the presentation. So we already explained to you 447 00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:39,080 the left, which is the greatest achievement or status pursued by 448 00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:42,920 men. This is what the flesh desire, 449 00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:49,159 desires to be. Somebody desires to be elevated 450 00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:52,159 above other people. Do you understand? 451 00:34:52,679 --> 00:34:55,679 Because we wanted honor, we want respect. 452 00:34:56,320 --> 00:35:00,720 We want people to respect us and to give us comfort. 453 00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:03,000 You know, it's, it's, it's different when you're at the 454 00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:05,400 pedestal. That's the point. 455 00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:14,760 And this is a common struggle in India too, right? 456 00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:18,760 Because in India, there is a, what we call the caste system. 457 00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:24,160 So people, you know, before you were born, people already 458 00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:27,920 striving to be somehow elevated in life. 459 00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:32,640 And, and I, I understand that, but remember this, the good news 460 00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:35,480 is this, we don't need to do that in the Kingdom of God. 461 00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:41,040 It is God who will tell you, come up here, Amen. 462 00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:44,080 It is God is going to promote you. 463 00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:48,840 It is God is going to equip you. Is that amazing? 464 00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:57,160 But what kind of heart is God looking for somebody who is what 465 00:35:57,720 --> 00:36:02,000 meek, humble and meek who is open to him. 466 00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:05,560 Are you learning something? I'm going to challenge you more. 467 00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:09,200 This is the this is the point. Let's go to the next one. 468 00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:17,360 The greatest commandment is what Yes, Matthew 22. 469 00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:22,640 OK, let me read. Let the the teacher of the law, 470 00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:26,840 verse 36, he asked Jesus this question. 471 00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:33,440 He said teacher or Lord Jesus or say Rabbi, which is the greatest 472 00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:37,440 commandment in the law. Jesus replied, love the Lord 473 00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:40,480 your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all 474 00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:42,360 your mind. And this is the first and 475 00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:45,000 greatest commandment and the second is like it. 476 00:36:45,240 --> 00:36:50,680 Love your neighbor as yourself. All the law of the prophets hang 477 00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:53,840 on these two laws. Now if you read Mark chapter 12, 478 00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:59,680 it has more information, which is a scripture that I like to 479 00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:06,280 read also because Jesus, I mean because this this Rabbi affirm 480 00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:10,600 what Jesus said and Jesus said you are not far from the Kingdom 481 00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:13,920 of God. But the point here, friends, is 482 00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:19,440 that what is the virtue? What are the things like the 483 00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:23,280 acid for God? What are the things that God 484 00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:31,240 considers important? OK, intimacy. 485 00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:36,440 It's you loving God above all else. 486 00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:43,480 Do you love God? Hallelujah. 487 00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:50,440 Hallelujah. Make the Long story short, right 488 00:37:52,240 --> 00:37:54,040 the mess message, the best message. 489 00:37:54,040 --> 00:38:00,000 So every week in Israel from the Old Testament Friday afternoon, 490 00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:04,280 when the, the, the shofar is, you know, they blow the shofar 491 00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:08,440 and call people to gather and the Shabbat thing and they will, 492 00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:19,240 they will read Shema, O Israel, the Lord our God is 1 OK, love 493 00:38:19,240 --> 00:38:21,080 the Lord your God with all your heart mind. 494 00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:27,000 So they will, they will always be reminded about the first 495 00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:32,240 commandment. Love the Lord your God, Amen, 496 00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:41,440 Amen #2 But there are least, there will be least in the 497 00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:44,760 Kingdom of heaven, not least because you want to take the 498 00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:46,760 lowly places, you want to humble yourself. 499 00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:50,560 But literally, they are considered least in the Kingdom 500 00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:53,680 of heaven because these are the people who are what they are 501 00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:57,560 hearers, but not doers. They don't obey. 502 00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:04,320 They're like the hypocrites. OK, Matthew 5/19, 2:20 it says. 503 00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:08,640 Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the list of these 504 00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:12,400 commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least 505 00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:15,360 in the Kingdom of heaven. But whoever practices and 506 00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:18,200 teaches these commands will be great. 507 00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:21,120 I will be called great in the Kingdom of heaven. 508 00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:24,920 For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of 509 00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:29,000 the Pharisees and teachers of the law, you will certainly not 510 00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:31,920 enter the Kingdom of heaven. Meaning to say we should not be 511 00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:36,440 like the hypocrites. Hypocrites because they're great 512 00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:40,000 pretenders because they do not do what they preach. 513 00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:44,320 Hello. So the point here is that Jesus 514 00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:50,160 said those people who, who follow the Bible and and that's 515 00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:53,120 it. OK, you hear and you obey. 516 00:39:53,760 --> 00:40:00,400 So you're you're modeling it to other people so that, he said 517 00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:02,800 these people are called great in the Kingdom. 518 00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:09,320 Hello, so by your own assessment, are you great in the 519 00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:13,720 Kingdom of heaven? You have to do your assessment 520 00:40:13,720 --> 00:40:18,080 now because on graduation day you don't have time anymore. 521 00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:22,560 This is the time to accept the challenge. 522 00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:25,160 Amen. Last but not the least, the 523 00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:27,000 greatest in the Kingdom of heaven. 524 00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:30,960 True greatness in God's Kingdom is found in what? 525 00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:37,640 Humility and servant leadership, Not in power, not in might, not 526 00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:43,280 in authority. You know, a Matthew 18, the Gan 527 00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:49,720 Coyote, No, the Matthew 18, Mark 9, Luke 9, Luke 22. 528 00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:53,160 I'm not going to read all those chapters, but I'm going to tell 529 00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:58,520 you, you take a picture and you read that at home and you will, 530 00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:02,360 I mean, try to read it again and again until you get it, until 531 00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:07,440 you catch it. Because you need to apply it to 532 00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:09,480 heart. You need to understand the 533 00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:13,600 context of those scriptures because in those scriptures, the 534 00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:17,120 Lord Yeshua himself is the one teaching. 535 00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:24,640 He taught His disciples the right conduct, the right heart, 536 00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:30,280 OK of his followers, those who want to live in the Kingdom of 537 00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:33,120 heaven. But let me just go to the main 538 00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:38,480 scripture, the the the keynote, OK, in Matthew 18, I'm going to 539 00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:44,920 I'm going to read verse 4. It says, therefore, whoever 540 00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:50,440 humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the Kingdom 541 00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:56,800 of heaven.

OK? 634 00:50:46,720 --> 00:50:50,160 It says in verse 48, Luke Chapter 9 it says. 635 00:50:50,440 --> 00:50:54,240 Then he said to them, whoever welcomes this little child in my 636 00:50:54,240 --> 00:50:58,600 name welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who 637 00:50:58,600 --> 00:51:03,440 sent me. For he who is least among you 638 00:51:03,440 --> 00:51:21,910 all, he is the greatest. OK, Luke 22, OK, verse 26, 639 00:51:21,910 --> 00:51:24,990 listen to this. It says, but you are not to be 640 00:51:24,990 --> 00:51:28,670 like that, not like the Gentile kind of leadership. 641 00:51:28,670 --> 00:51:31,440 You understand the bossy kind of thing. 642 00:51:31,440 --> 00:51:35,560 The the, the person who just points, hey, who tells you what 643 00:51:35,560 --> 00:51:40,320 to do and they don't do what they do what they don't know how 644 00:51:40,320 --> 00:51:43,720 to do what they told you to do. Anyway, verse 26, it says you 645 00:51:43,720 --> 00:51:48,280 are not to be like that. Instead, the greatest among you 646 00:51:48,440 --> 00:51:54,840 should be like the youngest. So even if you are the eldest, 647 00:51:55,520 --> 00:52:00,240 you, you know, sometimes you, you don't reprimand. 648 00:52:00,240 --> 00:52:04,560 Hey, I am the eldest, you do as I tell you. 649 00:52:06,280 --> 00:52:08,640 Understood, Sir.

Do not be harsh. 653 00:52:30,440 --> 00:52:34,080 Be gentle. Hello. 654 00:52:35,400 --> 00:52:39,400 Hello. Are you still there? 655 00:52:40,440 --> 00:52:43,560 All right, Very good. Verse 27. 656 00:52:43,640 --> 00:52:46,280 Listen, Verse 27, if you're following with me, if you're 657 00:52:46,280 --> 00:52:50,920 reading your Scripture, OK, I'm reading NIV just in verse 27. 658 00:52:51,440 --> 00:52:57,080 For who is greater? The one who is at the table or 659 00:52:57,080 --> 00:52:59,400 the one who serves? What do you think? 660 00:53:02,120 --> 00:53:07,040 In the Kingdom of God, the one who serves is greater, but in 661 00:53:07,040 --> 00:53:11,520 the Kingdom of men, the one who is being served is greater. 662 00:53:12,280 --> 00:53:18,480 Do you understand? I have a chair. 663 00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:37,200 I have a table. OK, Just can you sit here? 664 00:53:40,280 --> 00:53:47,000 Let's say just has is in a restaurant and then he ordered 665 00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:58,880 food and Axel is the waiter. OK, And then Axel is serving the 666 00:53:58,880 --> 00:54:04,200 food in a plate called IMAP apple. 667 00:54:05,280 --> 00:54:10,080 OK, sorry. And then the question is this 668 00:54:11,040 --> 00:54:15,680 Jesus said, oh, I'm sorry. Jesus said, who is greater? 669 00:54:17,040 --> 00:54:23,400 The one who sits at the table who ordered food or the one who 670 00:54:23,400 --> 00:54:28,640 serves? Who says the one who serves? 671 00:54:30,800 --> 00:54:35,000 That's the Kingdom of God. But in this world, I'll tell 672 00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:37,920 you, he's not great. He's just a waiter. 673 00:54:39,280 --> 00:54:42,920 Is that true? Hey, waiter, Waiter. 674 00:54:43,560 --> 00:54:52,480 Triba, do you understand? We treat waiters AAS wolla 675 00:54:52,480 --> 00:55:06,880 quisquila mornan waiterka ako politician Co ha. 676 00:55:07,320 --> 00:55:10,640 I'm just exaggerating things. So you understand that the 677 00:55:10,640 --> 00:55:15,000 Kingdom of the of men and the Kingdom of God is opposite. 678 00:55:16,680 --> 00:55:22,040 They're not in parallel. So how can you live in the 679 00:55:22,040 --> 00:55:28,200 Kingdom of this world where where the the principles of the 680 00:55:28,560 --> 00:55:34,320 Kingdom of God is not being practiced or followed or 681 00:55:34,680 --> 00:55:42,120 steamed, correct. But in the Kingdom of God, Jesus 682 00:55:42,120 --> 00:55:48,040 is the one who will serve us. What's amazing, I'm still 683 00:55:48,040 --> 00:55:54,160 wondering how he can do that. There's a lot of us, but he's 684 00:55:54,160 --> 00:55:58,400 willing to serve. Hallelujah, Amen. 685 00:55:58,760 --> 00:56:04,360 So right now, in this present world, the man, the man sit 686 00:56:04,360 --> 00:56:10,360 sitting on the table who ordered food is greater than the waiter 687 00:56:10,360 --> 00:56:14,640 who is serving. But in the Kingdom of God, the 688 00:56:14,640 --> 00:56:18,640 one who serves, it's the greatest. 689 00:56:21,720 --> 00:56:23,160 OK, look at me. Look at me. 690 00:56:25,440 --> 00:56:28,320 Where's Bobby? Come here. 691 00:56:28,320 --> 00:56:38,400 Bobby and Anna for the sake of example. 692 00:56:39,080 --> 00:56:40,760 Now this is no longer an example. 693 00:56:41,960 --> 00:56:49,240 For many years they are serving food and look, look at me, look 694 00:56:49,240 --> 00:56:51,320 at me. Whether you like it or not. 695 00:56:52,760 --> 00:56:59,240 A lot of people will look at Bobby and say I am more 696 00:56:59,240 --> 00:57:03,920 important than Bobby because what he does, he just prepare 697 00:57:03,920 --> 00:57:09,280 food for for the kids for feeding program. 698 00:57:10,720 --> 00:57:15,360 In your eyes, when we get to heaven, this is what Bobby will 699 00:57:15,360 --> 00:57:18,000 tell you because in heaven nothing is hidden. 700 00:57:19,160 --> 00:57:22,240 The things that you that you have in your mind about Bobby 701 00:57:22,240 --> 00:57:25,720 and you're belittling Bobby in heaven, this is what you will 702 00:57:25,720 --> 00:57:28,480 get. Look at Bobby's eyes. 703 00:57:34,240 --> 00:57:37,120 That's what you will get in heaven. 704 00:57:43,400 --> 00:57:47,520 That's why even if we, I'm a pastor, I tell you, I travel. 705 00:57:47,520 --> 00:57:52,160 They, they respect, oh, this is our, our vision. 706 00:57:52,160 --> 00:57:54,520 This is our so and so. And every time they say that I 707 00:57:54,520 --> 00:57:57,640 said, oh God, no, it's not, it's you, Lord. 708 00:57:57,920 --> 00:57:59,960 But listen to me. Why? 709 00:57:59,960 --> 00:58:03,680 Because when I stand on stage, it's because I was tasked to do 710 00:58:03,680 --> 00:58:07,080 this. But there's, there are people in 711 00:58:07,080 --> 00:58:11,400 the church, the unheard, unsung heroes. 712 00:58:11,680 --> 00:58:14,720 They prepare the church. They, they, they sweep the 713 00:58:14,720 --> 00:58:18,240 floor. They, they, the janitorial 714 00:58:18,240 --> 00:58:21,600 services.

That's the word 100%. 719 00:58:43,880 --> 00:58:47,240 But to us who are more gifted more we would, we were given 720 00:58:47,240 --> 00:58:49,680 more talents and we're not using it. 721 00:58:50,240 --> 00:58:58,120 Oh no, think about it.

A pilmo DBS OK, so OK, where are 743 01:01:12,280 --> 01:01:21,240 we? And Jesus said in verse 27, for 744 01:01:21,240 --> 01:01:23,800 who is greater, the one who is at the table or the one who 745 01:01:23,800 --> 01:01:27,280 serves? Is it not the one who is at the 746 01:01:27,280 --> 01:01:32,120 table, but I am among you as one who serves. 747 01:01:32,240 --> 01:01:34,800 That's the thing. Jesus is greater. 748 01:01:35,520 --> 01:01:38,760 He's the King of Queens, Lord of Lords, but he said I serve, 749 01:01:39,880 --> 01:01:43,920 Amen. Anyway, let's let's proceed to 750 01:01:43,920 --> 01:01:48,000 the next verse. The Lord Jesus or Yeshua is our 751 01:01:48,000 --> 01:01:52,160 best and perfect example. What did Jesus do? 752 01:01:52,160 --> 01:01:55,840 He wash the feet of his disciples. 753 01:01:56,400 --> 01:01:57,880 Now I'm not going to read that again. 754 01:01:57,880 --> 01:02:01,280 It's a long read. OK, so please take a picture. 755 01:02:03,960 --> 01:02:07,400 He said. I have set you an example that 756 01:02:07,400 --> 01:02:09,680 you should do as I have done for you. 757 01:02:10,800 --> 01:02:12,560 OK? No servant is greater than his 758 01:02:12,560 --> 01:02:14,760 master, nor is a messenger greater. 759 01:02:14,760 --> 01:02:22,000 OK, I know I'm I have preached. OK, let's Philippians chapter 2, 760 01:02:24,640 --> 01:02:27,840 verse 3 do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain 761 01:02:27,840 --> 01:02:31,200 conceit, rather in humility, consider others better than 762 01:02:31,200 --> 01:02:33,760 yourselves or value others above yourselves. 763 01:02:34,040 --> 01:02:38,040 It's of you. This is the point each of you 764 01:02:38,040 --> 01:02:43,920 should not only I was each of you should look not only to your 765 01:02:43,920 --> 01:02:49,520 own interest, but also to the interest of others. 766 01:02:49,520 --> 01:02:55,120 And it says in verse 5, verse 5, it says your attitude should be 767 01:02:55,120 --> 01:02:58,880 the same as that of Jesus Christ, of Christ Jesus. 768 01:02:59,320 --> 01:03:00,960 Amen. Listen to this. 769 01:03:00,960 --> 01:03:04,800 Who being in a very nature of God, did not consider equality 770 01:03:04,800 --> 01:03:08,720 with God something to be grasped or used to his own advantage. 771 01:03:09,320 --> 01:03:17,360 Rather He made himself, He made himself nothing by taking the 772 01:03:17,360 --> 01:03:20,920 very nature of a servant being made in human likeness. 773 01:03:20,920 --> 01:03:26,760 Listen to this Jesus is God, he's equal with the Father, but 774 01:03:26,760 --> 01:03:31,320 he does not, he does not he has no ambition. 775 01:03:31,760 --> 01:03:36,600 That's why if you read Jesus words he honors the Father 776 01:03:36,600 --> 01:03:40,160 greater. If you read the the the words of 777 01:03:40,160 --> 01:03:43,200 the Father in Hebrews, he honors the Son. 778 01:03:43,600 --> 01:03:47,480 If you read from the lines of the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit 779 01:03:47,480 --> 01:03:51,800 will what we honor the Son. And do you understand the honor 780 01:03:51,800 --> 01:03:59,160 1 And that's the kind of culture, the honor Kayata Yedito 781 01:03:59,160 --> 01:04:04,600 we here in the Philippines, we address our pastors Kuya. 782 01:04:05,960 --> 01:04:10,320 We want to be a family. It doesn't mean he's when you 783 01:04:10,320 --> 01:04:14,080 say kuya, he's older. No, it's sign of respect. 784 01:04:17,240 --> 01:04:19,920 Amen. That's why if you call me by 785 01:04:19,920 --> 01:04:24,000 title, you call me hey, so and so and pastor. 786 01:04:24,040 --> 01:04:29,200 That's OK, because I'm a pastor. But you see, in a Philippine 787 01:04:29,200 --> 01:04:33,760 culture, when you call a person kuya, that's something 788 01:04:35,000 --> 01:04:40,280 relational. In Singapore, they call the 789 01:04:40,840 --> 01:04:43,640 uncle even in India, right? Am I? 790 01:04:43,640 --> 01:04:48,840 Am I right, Uncle and Auntie, even if they're not related by 791 01:04:48,840 --> 01:05:01,120 blood, Uncle Auntie. Anyway, so verse 8 And being 792 01:05:01,120 --> 01:05:05,960 found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became 793 01:05:06,280 --> 01:05:09,160 obedient to death, even death on the cross. 794 01:05:09,440 --> 01:05:15,400 Verse 9 Listen, therefore God exalted him to the highest place 795 01:05:15,720 --> 01:05:21,040 and gave him the name above every name, that at the name of 796 01:05:21,040 --> 01:05:24,640 Jesus every knee should bow in heaven and on earth and under 797 01:05:24,640 --> 01:05:28,920 the earth, and every tongue will acknowledge or confess that 798 01:05:28,920 --> 01:05:32,760 Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father, praise 799 01:05:32,760 --> 01:05:35,080 the Lord. Can you prepare that song? 800 01:05:37,480 --> 01:05:41,000 Therefore God has exalted him. Do we have that song? 801 01:05:45,520 --> 01:05:47,640 Why? Why do I want to to sing that 802 01:05:47,640 --> 01:05:50,840 song? Listen to me the word. 803 01:05:50,840 --> 01:05:54,920 Therefore, there is a precedent. Not actually he discussed. 804 01:05:54,920 --> 01:06:01,840 That's why it says therefore God, the Bible says, therefore 805 01:06:01,840 --> 01:06:03,440 God is exalted him. Why? 806 01:06:03,440 --> 01:06:06,960 Because he has humbled himself even to the point of death. 807 01:06:06,960 --> 01:06:09,400 But listen to this. Jesus is God. 808 01:06:10,720 --> 01:06:14,800 Jesus is perfect. He has not sinned. 809 01:06:14,920 --> 01:06:18,520 He's holy, but he died in our place. 810 01:06:19,040 --> 01:06:23,320 He serve us. If Jesus, who has all the 811 01:06:23,320 --> 01:06:30,120 entitlement, the right, you know, to not to do those things 812 01:06:30,120 --> 01:06:33,360 for us, not to serve us, he has the right because he's the King. 813 01:06:34,600 --> 01:06:37,160 Hello. Why would you sacrifice your 814 01:06:37,160 --> 01:06:42,200 king? Correct in a battle? 815 01:06:42,360 --> 01:06:46,720 But he gave his life for his subjects. 816 01:06:47,720 --> 01:06:51,400 What a great humility. He's not just a king. 817 01:06:51,400 --> 01:06:53,120 He's the creator. He's the word. 818 01:06:54,720 --> 01:06:57,480 Through him all things were created. 819 01:06:59,160 --> 01:07:01,520 Do you understand? Why would he die for his 820 01:07:01,520 --> 01:07:07,080 creation? He has all the reasons, the 821 01:07:07,080 --> 01:07:12,960 right, valid reasons not to do it, but he did it anyway. 822 01:07:13,160 --> 01:07:16,560 That's a perfect example of a servant heart. 823 01:07:19,240 --> 01:07:23,200 My challenge today is that we ask God. 824 01:07:23,200 --> 01:07:27,880 Lord, don't ask God that you will become God. 825 01:07:27,880 --> 01:07:32,400 No, that's not the right prayer. OK, Lord, I will be like God. 826 01:07:32,400 --> 01:07:43,080 No, that's Lucifer's. It's a wrong thinking. 827 01:07:43,080 --> 01:07:50,200 The right thing is that Lord help me, help me become like you 828 01:07:50,200 --> 01:07:56,240 in character. Lord, I would learn this because 829 01:07:56,240 --> 01:08:04,960 you know why You can only go as far as your character. 830 01:08:07,560 --> 01:08:16,120 If your character is smells bad, the Lord is not going to promote 831 01:08:16,120 --> 01:08:21,600 you in his Kingdom. You have to understand this. 832 01:08:22,000 --> 01:08:29,760 WWJD. In this situation, what would 833 01:08:30,000 --> 01:08:34,920 Jesus do? Clark, are you gay? 834 01:08:36,760 --> 01:08:41,040 That's a revelation right there. When people explode and they 835 01:08:41,040 --> 01:08:44,640 say, oh, that's a confirmation. Yeah, Amen. 836 01:08:45,600 --> 01:08:51,000 Jesus washed his disciples feet. He was willing to do that. 837 01:08:52,240 --> 01:08:55,319 He was willing to serve. But there are people says, oh, 838 01:08:55,399 --> 01:08:58,840 why would I do that? You, I'm your boss. 839 01:08:59,319 --> 01:09:05,279 You wash my feet, that's the world, but that's not our Lord. 840 01:09:07,200 --> 01:09:11,560 Amen. And one thing for sure, this is 841 01:09:11,560 --> 01:09:13,520 what Jesus commanded. Are you listening? 842 01:09:14,080 --> 01:09:19,399 This is the last page, Mark 14. I like this verse and in Matthew 843 01:09:19,399 --> 01:09:22,319 26 it says verse 13. Just the main point. 844 01:09:22,359 --> 01:09:27,960 It says truly, I tell you, wherever this gospel is preached 845 01:09:27,960 --> 01:09:33,000 throughout the world, what she has done will also be told in 846 01:09:33,000 --> 01:09:39,640 memory of her, of her. You see how much the Lord honors 847 01:09:39,960 --> 01:09:44,279 people, who humbles themselves and honor him. 848 01:09:45,160 --> 01:09:49,120 If you bring glory to God, you worship God, you're loyal to 849 01:09:49,120 --> 01:09:54,000 God, you humble yourself. We humble ourselves. 850 01:09:55,000 --> 01:09:57,400 Wow. The Lord will honor you. 851 01:09:58,360 --> 01:10:03,200 He who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble 852 01:10:03,200 --> 01:10:07,720 themselves will be exalted. That's the kind of heart I say, 853 01:10:07,720 --> 01:10:12,960 God, I want that heart. I want that heart so you can use 854 01:10:12,960 --> 01:10:14,760 me. Amen. 855 01:10:15,960 --> 01:10:20,520 So that's the you can read that in Mark 14-1 tonight. 856 01:10:20,520 --> 01:10:24,720 So I'm not going to read again the the chapter because it's 857 01:10:24,880 --> 01:10:28,960 it's going to eat some time. So I'm done with my preaching. 858 01:10:29,640 --> 01:10:33,360 I hope you have a revelation today. 859 01:10:33,840 --> 01:10:38,760 Desire to grow, to mature spiritually. 860 01:10:40,080 --> 01:10:44,680 It all happens here, but we need God's help. 861 01:10:44,680 --> 01:10:49,640 Say God. I thought I was humble already. 862 01:10:50,760 --> 01:10:56,680 Now I realize I am proud. Listen to me. 863 01:10:56,840 --> 01:11:00,680 If you think you are humble enough, then you're proud. 864 01:11:02,320 --> 01:11:09,880 That's pride. Our my boss, my partner, my 865 01:11:09,880 --> 01:11:15,320 boss, the consul of Israel. Every time we meet, he's older. 866 01:11:15,880 --> 01:11:18,280 He was.

Even before, when he was not a 869 01:11:24,760 --> 01:11:27,360 consulate. But what happens is that every 870 01:11:27,360 --> 01:11:30,600 time we meet, we race even without the Dali. 871 01:11:30,600 --> 01:11:36,960 We race on taking their hand. It's just because we want to. 872 01:11:37,400 --> 01:11:42,560 McManus English.

If you stand before God, the 888 01:13:02,360 --> 01:13:09,760 Glorious 1, you will feel ashamed because you've been 889 01:13:09,760 --> 01:13:14,920 prideful on earth. And the truth is there's nothing 890 01:13:14,920 --> 01:13:19,240 you can do apart from him. Everything you have, everything 891 01:13:19,240 --> 01:13:23,880 that you are, all the things that you can call your asset are 892 01:13:23,880 --> 01:13:33,800 not yours, not yours. If you understand that, you 893 01:13:33,800 --> 01:13:36,640 would fear God and say God, I am nobody. 894 01:13:37,960 --> 01:13:43,480 You know, Aqua Andrelim, when he shared in in his training camp 895 01:13:43,480 --> 01:13:49,920 in Eagle's Rock, he said, I'm so grateful to God because it was 896 01:13:49,920 --> 01:13:53,880 God who helped me understand about farming. 897 01:13:54,840 --> 01:13:58,120 There are so many people who want to understand this, but 898 01:13:58,120 --> 01:14:01,320 they cannot understand. But I understood it because of 899 01:14:01,320 --> 01:14:03,360 God. And I really thought about that 900 01:14:04,000 --> 01:14:07,760 because sometimes I teach, I said this is so simple, but 901 01:14:07,760 --> 01:14:12,320 people cannot understand. And I said, why do you see? 902 01:14:12,320 --> 01:14:14,960 You realize that you have nothing? 903 01:14:16,040 --> 01:14:18,760 Because unless God will make you understand, you will not 904 01:14:18,760 --> 01:14:23,680 understand. So what can we do? 905 01:14:23,960 --> 01:14:27,840 Can we boast? There's nothing to boast about 906 01:14:28,320 --> 01:14:32,160 because even your very life, your very breath, your, your 907 01:14:32,160 --> 01:14:35,040 heartbeat is not yours. It's a borrowed time. 908 01:14:35,040 --> 01:14:37,960 It's a borrowed light. What can you boast about? 909 01:14:38,000 --> 01:14:44,280 Nothing. I have one thing to boast about. 910 01:14:45,720 --> 01:14:55,440 I will boast in knowing Him. Some boast in Chariots, some 911 01:14:55,440 --> 01:15:02,360 boast in horses, but we will boast in the name of the Lord 912 01:15:02,400 --> 01:15:04,000 our God. You know that song? 913 01:15:04,040 --> 01:15:08,000 Who knows that song? 1 two. 914 01:15:08,120 --> 01:15:10,960 OK, they're all three. OK, three people. 915 01:15:12,960 --> 01:15:22,920 It's from from Ernie Palacios. Some boast in Chariots, 916 01:15:54,480 --> 01:15:55,560 OK, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait up. 917 01:15:56,400 --> 01:15:59,320 I know you don't understand why we why do we have to boast with 918 01:15:59,320 --> 01:16:01,600 Chariots? Look at me, Look at me. 919 01:16:01,600 --> 01:16:05,080 What is the finest, the most expensive car today? 920 01:16:06,200 --> 01:16:08,400 Rolls Royce. Bentley. 921 01:16:09,040 --> 01:16:12,880 Ha Ben Bentley, Bentley. Lamborghini. 922 01:16:12,880 --> 01:16:17,760 Lamborghini. OK, look, these are expensive 923 01:16:17,760 --> 01:16:21,800 cars in the old times. They don't have those cars. 924 01:16:23,360 --> 01:16:26,720 They have Chariots. They decorate it with gold, you 925 01:16:26,720 --> 01:16:29,440 understand? That's why there's some boast in 926 01:16:29,440 --> 01:16:31,880 Chariots. Or let's just say some boast 927 01:16:32,440 --> 01:16:41,640 with what What Car again? OK, so we don't both on having 928 01:16:42,600 --> 01:16:45,400 expensive cars. Amen. 929 01:16:45,800 --> 01:16:48,520 But people when they ride expensive cars, they feel like, 930 01:16:48,680 --> 01:16:56,800 oh, I'm higher, I'm greater, I'm more successful because I have 931 01:16:56,800 --> 01:17:03,000 an expensive pickup truck or whatever you have I have, right. 932 01:17:03,680 --> 01:17:06,200 That's the temptation. Be careful. 933 01:17:08,000 --> 01:17:12,080 That's not yours. Even your very life is not 934 01:17:12,080 --> 01:17:15,320 yours. That's why some boast in Chario, 935 01:17:15,320 --> 01:17:18,240 some boast in horses. Horses means what? 936 01:17:19,120 --> 01:17:21,600 Strength. Military life or military 937 01:17:21,600 --> 01:17:25,840 strength or power? Power. 938 01:17:26,040 --> 01:17:29,680 Horsepower. But we will boast in who? 939 01:17:30,400 --> 01:17:33,240 The name of the room.

We don't need to feel ashamed. 947 01:18:02,640 --> 01:18:06,520 Say, Oh God, I've been so boastful about myself, my life. 948 01:18:06,840 --> 01:18:11,640 No need can say.
