0:00

some people think it's only working in Singapore among the church members but the gospel

0:07

is the gospel for the world amen it has the same results all over

0:13

the world and that's what we want you to know that We Believe that this ministry was raised

0:20

to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ let me say it more radically I believe that

0:26

we are going to be part of the movement of the late the latest Reformation that

0:31

God's on a race all over the world amen just like doing a Martin Luther days a man there was a great movement of

0:38

the spirit in restoring the truth of justification by faith so we believe there's another greatest

0:48

and the last day move of restoring this truth once again that truth is lost that

0:54

truth has been lost and in many churches even in many circles in many denominations in many

1:01

parts of the world where Christ is preached but it is always like there's

1:08

an apology towards uh justification by faith you will say like yeah you are righteous by faith but

1:13

we must not forget Works yes but yes but our revelation of righteousness by faith

1:20

is not so strong anymore but I believe God is uh restoring that truth once again and this time

1:27

whenever God restores it's always a great day in power greater in its uh Dimensions praise the

1:34

Lord we thank God we are part of the End Time Gospel Revolution Grace Revolution

1:41

amen all over the world people are going to find out that God is a good god that

1:47

this God love you so much that he sent his son for the sole purpose of dying

1:53

for your sins amen and remember God loves his son God loves his son so much that God open

2:00

up the Heavens to him when he came up from the Jordan River and said you are

2:06

my beloved Son in you I am well pleased no one please the father as much as our

2:12

lord Jesus did and yet this son of his love and that's the phrase from the

2:17

Bible the son of his love he gave up for you and I why because he

2:22

loved you amen no one else can take your place the best person on Earth the most

2:28

so don't call moral person can never take your place in substitute at the

2:35

cross for your sins it must be someone who is sinless someone who knew no sin

2:41

did no sin in him is no sin it might be someone who is a human being

2:48

because God cannot die yet at the same time the quality of his blood must be

2:53

Eternal that's God's kind of blood amen if God takes on human flesh what will he

2:59

be like and that's our Lord Jesus Christ 100 God he never laid a fight his deity

3:06

and hundred percent men when he came to Earth do you know that right now

3:13

in the center of the universe at the right hand of the Majesty on high

3:19

is a human being a glorified human being one of us is

3:25

there at God's right hand he represents us there think about it a

3:31

lot of people when they think about Jesus At The Father's right hand they think of God being in the right hand got

3:38

the son being at the right hand of God the Father no you must think of him when he's there

3:43

when he came down he represented God but when he's there he's representing man to

3:48

God think of him there as men and whatever he is

3:54

you are his position is your position

4:00

all that he is you are all that he has you have

4:05

only one point one area the you and I can cannot possess in him is his deity

4:14

all right is this deity we are not God okay that's the only area but whatever

4:19

God did to him on the cross is what God did to us

4:24

jesus carried our sins and not only can our sins he carried us

4:30

that part of us the old man the sinful nature because when man sin that sinful

4:36

nature is already there that the cancer of sin spread through men in his blood it can

4:43

be seen all right that sin is in the blood and that's why it manifests in

4:49

disease deformity In Heaven There is no sickness there is no disease there is no deformity

4:54

so sin is in the blood and that's why when you have children

4:59

they don't have to be taught how to lie sin is in their blood

5:05

but there's a beautiful verse that says I'll cleanse their blood

5:10

amen and I believe being born again your blood is cleansed praise the Lord amen so the Bible says

5:17

he has redeemed his church with his blood take hate that you feed the flock of God

5:24

whom he has redeemed no God is the subject here whom he has redeemed with his blood so that blood and God let me

5:31

Royal Blood it's not any of just blood any blood it is the blood of God's son that redeem us

5:38

amen so he has to be fully God fully man to die for our sins on that cross as a

5:44

man he died he took our place and even that part of us that loves to sin is finished off at the cross

5:51

now it might not be be so in our experience our sense our feelings but it

5:57

is so to Faith amen faith is what God sees faith says Amen to whatever God says

6:04

so when God looks at you God does not see you in your sin God sees you in your righteousness in Christ

6:10

amen so never let the world Define you and you don't Define you all right based

6:18

on your own failures experiences shortcomings don't even Define yourself

6:23

based on your successes because if you define Yourself by your success then it only lasts as long as

6:30

that success last what are you when you lose your position what are you when you lose that job what

6:37

are you when you lose that Fame of Fortune never tie your definition of who you are

6:43

with all these things let God Define you amen you are the righteousness of God in

6:49

Christ you're a Son of God Son of ABBA amen son of his love praise the Lord in

6:56

Christ and as he is as that man is as that glorified man is at the father's right hand so are we in this world Amen

7:05

praise God if you go back home right now we are happy amen so some years ago when I saw this and I

7:12

felt the Holy Spirit telling me son lay hold on it lay hold it as in everything in the Christian Life it works by faith

7:19

without faith it's impossible to please God you go to uh Europe right the the

7:25

means of of transaction there is true your Euro currency amen you go to UK

7:31

right it is the British pound you go to uh um

7:36

India it is rupiah right you rupee sorry rupee rupiah is Indonesia okay so

7:42

different parts of the world have different currency the Kingdom of Heaven operates by faith amen show God your faith

7:50

and you receive what you need from him amen so faith without Fame God is all

7:55

didn't they wait faith without faith is impossible to please God amen Abraham believed God and he was

8:01

counted to him for righteousness and that's where it all starts amen so we want to preach the word because the

8:09

word builds faith if you don't know what God has for you you cannot lay claim on

8:15

it amen so years ago God says lay claim on the fact that my son is at the

8:21

father's right hand amen at my right hand and whatever he is you are as he is righteous so are you in

8:28

this world and I said before if it said if the verse says the word in first John says

8:35

as if it said as Jesus was past stance it will be good enough right imagine Jesus in the gospels

8:42

Healing The Sick cleansing the lepers there was Jesus was right that'd be good

8:48

enough to be like him then but it's not as Jesus was it is as Jesus is the

8:53

ascended the Risen Christ glorified at the father's right hand as Jesus is so

8:59

are we in this world not when we die in this world and I believe God's word

9:05

so God said to me start believing what what is it that you need so I start preaching if you have uh depression

9:12

belief is Jesus having depression right now of course not as Jesus is so are you

9:18

in this world free from that depression amen is Jesus righteous is Jesus ever

9:24

concerned that he's going to be out of Fellowship don't forget the same body of Jesus that boy your sins at the cross no

9:32

one born so much sins as Jesus did even think about it at the cross he bought

9:37

the world sin upon his own body at the cross a matter of few days when he walked into

9:44

heaven where are all your sins same body where are your sins

9:53

perfect work where are your sins today gone why because your sins were on his

9:59

body understand that your sins were on his body when he was at the cross three days after that he

10:07

rose from the dead went back to the father a man sprinkled the blood and where your sins gone

10:14

amen the Bible says it like this having touched our sins he sat down

10:19

amen so we start saying all right as Jesus is whatever you need amen your you

10:24

feel like you are you are having problems through your memory say Jesus does he have a memory problem no he

10:33

everything perfectly in fact there's a phrase called of Christ amen the mind of Christ when God

10:40

first met man God made man with his mind beautiful and perfect

10:45

Adam could name all the animals and imagine all the species of the different animals and animals in the world God

10:51

brought them to him and he named them and imagine how many species they are in the world how many varieties of animals

10:57

there are in the world and then he can and different sizes right he can go back to the first one that he named

11:04

after thousands have passed by and he remembered them once again

11:10

amen we sometimes look at each other all right and we say oh no you look familiar

11:15

what's your name amen and it happened to be one of your family members all right so that's a problem so if there's a

11:22

problem you say as Jesus is to a perfect mind the mind of Christ so am I in this world in my mind amen now

11:31

everything in your flesh will say because the the world and the flesh does not like the way of Faith you will say

11:36

you're talking nonsense you know this cannot be that kind of thing and all that and you know what forget all that

11:42

amen because that is the way of the world the world says unless I see it unless I experience it I will not say it

11:49

God's way is that believe what I say declare it as if it's so because it is so as far as

11:56

God is concerned it is so amen so you start declaring that and I remember uh the first lady in our church

12:03

broke through when she was diagnosed with uh breast tumor cancer or breast

12:09

tumor right there was a human there there was suspected to be cancerous and when she received the report she came up

12:15

to me and uh in those days I would be hanging around in front and she'll come to me and and she showed me the uh her

12:22

report all right and she wrote across it does Jesus have lumps in his breasts

12:28

as Jesus is so am I I'm free from him all right she went back to the next checkup completely gone and that

12:36

precipitated uh uh literally a revolution of healing in the same area

12:43

among women in America especially when they heard this testimony so it's like the first one broke through and the rest

12:49

followed so Church our Authority is the word of God Amen this word that you hold in your

12:57

hand the Bible is your Authority not any denomination not any church listen we

13:04

can also even look at church history for lessons okay careful to see how the the

13:10

church was back then but we can't use church history as Authority this is our

13:17

Authority the word of God and what I'm going to share today is something that I feel that uh uh has happened to the body

13:24

of Christ now I will not preach this in the natural I will not preach this because it will invite a lot of

13:30

criticism it will invite a lot of people who are who are people who are just out to uh get me anyway they are always

13:37

around one you know God bless them amen I take communion for them also sometimes right and uh but I bless them I bless

13:45

them something I pray that God will not do anything to them amen because uh you

13:50

know we've got to deal with them in love and mercy because I really believe they are sincere all right of course

13:56

sincerely wrong you know anyway

14:01

I'm just like you you know I I don't want to be uh preaching something that caused people to you know criticize and

14:08

you know get canceled and you're not counting today's lingo correct the world you're the right unit they cancel you

14:14

rewrite history you know imagine history can be Rewritten

14:19

that's funny what I thought something happened something happened you know what I'm saying but you can

14:24

rewrite history amen and people want to cancel you and all that just that I think that you must be powerful enough

14:30

to cancel someone because in the first place you didn't give birth to him and then you didn't give him the ministry you didn't give

14:36

him the anointing and eating him the blessings and all that how can you cancel him when God

14:42

gave him all these things I think there's a saying that says when God opens the door no one can shut

14:47

I think in today's what God has written no one can stand so

14:55

amen so but I'm gonna preach it I'm gonna preach it anyway

15:03

all right and it's something to do with uh my concern when I look at the young people today especially a whole new

15:09

generation that have not heard the the teachings that I grew up with that has

15:14

blessed me so and in fact right now you are living in a miracle if you look at this uh uh

15:20

amazing start performing arts center right this whole Center here was nothing

15:28

this place was just vacant amen I forgot what what building small buildings they were here right but

15:34

definitely not the star that we have today and you take it for granted and you say like pasta the reason like I

15:41

cannot uh believe in faith and all that is because I'm someone I must say then I believe it you know something this

15:47

started with faith long before now you say you experience it now you can see it now you sit in it but it was actually

15:54

nothing except for faith amen it wasn't easy because at the time

15:59

if you look at all the the odds against us in the natural they met in Singapore

16:07

land scars Singapore amen every voice is saying it's

16:13

impossible to find us a place that sits like this well somewhere in my heart I said that

16:19

my eye is on the Lord amen when the Lord created Singapore he knows what he's

16:24

going to be like amen we have a need for our people to have a bigger place a man not just

16:30

building a place for the sake of building it oh man but we need the place

16:36

and I'll tell you something we didn't have the money for it but we got raised the money for us

16:43

and man God provided for us hey man supernaturally now if you think about it it's not easy as as Pastor back

16:51

then um I remember that uh the the ones that were appointed the

16:57

leaders in in my church and some of the business people that were appointed in order to look into all this place and all that when it wasn't just an idea

17:04

they have a very easy job well it appears very hard for them right because

17:10

they say there's pasta we only want to know one thing from you all right before we pursue for this

17:17

before we pursue this every every juncture they come to me shall we go for this shall we go for that we just want

17:22

to know one thing from you is this God you know even my wife asked me you sure

17:30

is this God amen the lawyers would ask questions from our leaders is this God

17:38

all right so every and and they all bring back the question to me is this God now that is one wonderful way to be

17:45

stress-free to hear this question every month all right is this God are you sure

17:51

this is God if this is God we go for it right very easy right if this is God we go for it why don't you find his God

17:59

so everything Converge on me all right for the first time I felt the pyramid was inverted is released you know the

18:05

pastor and the leaders and all that in all the way down a little bit down this was inverted and I'm right below

18:12

I felt the way good thing I survived to it by the grace of God now God was faithful amen and and

18:19

uh so I told myself I really have to hear God I really have to hear God because the amount of money that I'm

18:25

gonna trust God to provide for us and our people will believe and and provide for cannot be a failure cannot fail all

18:32

right we cannot you know start something halfway and give up that Jesus mentioned someone build a building and he's not

18:38

able to finish it so it's got to be God it's got to be God there's a lot of naysayers at the time

18:43

amen there are people who didn't believe will do it then we can do it finders believe that we should not do it

18:50

but the whole thing the for the place is just functional the people come together

18:55

Amen to Worship the Lord in a place where they can be not forsaking the assembling

19:03

so it wasn't meant for you to watch from home actually it's meant for you to come here

19:10

huh amen it's meant for you to come here be together you know the Bible talks

19:16

about and they came together in one place and so the idea of not forsaking

19:21

actually is a physical Gathering coming together all the more the Bible says as you see the day approaching

19:28

there's something about us you know the Bible says the Devil comes like a roaring lion seeking home in media

19:33

devour you know the what a roaring lion does you know what how the Bible says the devil is like a roaring lion he

19:40

comes if you look at all I love to watch uh you know those uh Nat Geo kind of

19:45

documentaries and all that you watch a lot of this animal stories I mean like predators and all that you'll find that

19:50

the way from what I noticed the Lions they go really slow and they are very patient

19:56

And when they see a group of gazelles or zebras and all that they mock someone

20:02

that is weak all right and then they take their time they follow the hurt they don't attack

20:08

they never attack right they never attack when the hurt are really strong

20:13

and together they attack when the herd is confused or they leave behind a straggler

20:21

who is injured or whatever they wait they wait until you are out of

20:27

Fellowship you are isolated when you are alone so

20:33

when you think about it the analogy that the Holy Spirit used Satan like a roaring lion seeking home he may devour

20:39

their safety in being together physically the thing I can explain it

20:44

something spiritual something that's a Divine protection you notice the the harmonia the most

20:49

demonized man in the Bible the Bible used this phrase of him he was

20:55

alone he was alone you know I can't begin to tell you that

21:01

there are forces that's beyond the physical when people are alone they think crazy thoughts when they are alone they have a lot of depression

21:08

that's when depression rains in their minds but when you're together

21:15

maybe depression is trying to come in you said something that just broke it amen sometimes you don't even have to

21:21

say something I'm just in the presence of God's people and something about their spirit because the holy spirit in

21:27

them lifts me up I'm not sure I hurt God but someone says something and I think there's no way he

21:33

knew what I'm going through and what he said confirmed what God Said

21:38

this the Bible says they are command God says the place of unity the place of gathering they are command my blessing

21:44

forevermore so is this what you're going to preach Pastor Prince that's called

21:49

no no no number one it's gonna cause a lot of controversy

21:55

right and it is this whilst I agree

22:01

whilst I agree that that there are extreme teachings okay and and uh

22:07

erroneous teachings on Prosperity let me tell you this it is a valid

22:14

and right teaching that God is restoring in the last days

22:20

just like God restored the baptism of the holy spirit that wasn't in the time of Luther didn't talk about the Holy

22:25

Spirit to speak in tongues and and all the gifts of the holy spirit being restored it wasn't for his date but in

22:31

church history there's a progressive restoration a progressive restoration Prosperity is something God is restoring

22:38

in these last days together with healing and it's caused such controversy now I'm

22:43

not for the extreme listen the extreme is what the Bible draws the line all right beware of covetousness you know

22:50

what covetousness greed selfishness amen making money just for yourself amen no

22:56

the Bible says from the start God told Abraham I will bless you and you shall be a blessing in other words God knows

23:03

if you can get blessings through you to other people you'll get blessing to you

23:10

amen he can trust you for that amen so because of this teaching right because

23:16

of this uh extreme teaching and extreme thing that people bring up you know the social media the heaven on social media

23:22

people are looking at all the the the extreme teachings and and they're turned off and I don't blame them I don't blame

23:28

them at all amen because they are not taught the word of God amen so we have a

23:34

whole new generation of people who now swing to the other side is Holy

23:41

like in church history once they did that they believe poverty is Holy they even take vows of poverty

23:49

now they swing the other side and we got a whole generation of people who do not know what to do in this recession

23:54

we got a lot of young people just married and and housing is so expensive

24:01

they do not know what to do and God began to speak to me recently and God said to me son all the things

24:07

that have made you what you are down to the years when you were young and when you heard those messages amen the right

24:14

message the right word amen of course God has taught me down to the years amen

24:19

the accurate and and and and and true interpretation of a lot of things which I'm going to share with you

24:26

amen as we enter into this Global recession is last days because that's one of the

24:32

signs of the end times not just pandemic not just plaque but also famine remember Jesus mentioned that

24:39

famine so we're entering into it now in Singapore we are we are blessed amen our

24:45

financial governance is very good we thank God for a a good honest government amen but there doesn't mean we won't

24:52

feel it we will feel it our young people are feeling it especially young people and that's how God God spoke to me about

24:57

this if you don't preach it their Spirits are now open to receive it in fact they have sin in the social

25:03

media the negatives I mean they have seen that the other side and they are turned off many young

25:10

people are turned off when they hear that and now they are leaning and their Spirits are closed whenever they hear someone preach on God wants to prosper

25:16

you they close their spirits I remember when when I was a young man

25:23

they have much money to buy a Christian book I was reading a book and I came across this verse

25:29

I think probably one of the first times I came across that verse I was a very young man then and it says and Joseph

25:35

was sold into Egypt and potiphar bought him he was a slave and he says Joseph was a

25:42

prosperous man and all that he did God made him to prosper

25:47

maybe I liked that verse when I read it because it's the same name right so I say that wow it began to

25:56

occur to me wait a minute whatever that means for this

26:01

Joseph in the Bible I want it you can say whatever you want God is not

26:06

for Prosperity health wealth gospel then you can say whatever you want but when the Bible talks about that I want that

26:12

do you want that he was a prosperous man and whatever he did he got married to prosper oh uh

26:19

Pastor that means everything uh Joseph did it prospered spiritually in the spiritual world or if it is I take that

26:27

can I but you know it doesn't stand to reason that it is spiritual Prosperity because

26:35

the Bible says portifer saw IFA is a hidden as hidden as hidden can

26:40

be and he saw that the Lord was with Joseph

26:46

he saw I said saw the Lord was with Joseph and what he did got married to

26:53

prosper so maybe he as he plunged the crops his crops are all bumper crops

26:58

as he takes care of the sir whatever new assignment did they say of the servants the servants are now highly motivated

27:03

whatever he did he prospered and and and and his boss then potiphar notice that

27:09

they finally he put him in charge of everything I want that I want that is it okay

27:16

I can be a blessing now was that a curse to Joseph no he was preparing him for the ministry that God has that he was

27:22

safe many people alive but then a lot of young people be their

27:29

Spirits are it doesn't matter Pastor I believe I don't believe yes because everything works by faith

27:35

if you don't believe it you shut your spirit to it you experience all kinds of

27:40

uh uh lag and uh you find that there's no breakthrough and you don't understand why I'm a Christian God what's happening

27:47

you know the accounting because somewhere along the way you imbibe uh into your spirit you imbibe something

27:53

that you read on social media or whatever and you start saying that yeah I won't get into all these things and I

27:58

just want to be holy and and that's my my thing they've gone friend your relationship God is number one prosperity

28:05

your relationship with God is number one prosperity

28:10

to be right with God would you say that's prosperous a true prosperous man and that's what we receive amen we are

28:16

now the righteousness of God in Christ for God made Jesus to be sin for us at the cross

28:22

he who knew no sin that we might be made the righteousness of God in him and yes I didn't do anything to be righteous

28:29

Jesus didn't do anything to become to become sin he took my sin

28:34

now I take his righteousness it's Define exchange amen we received by Grace amen

28:40

praise the Lord so the more we believe it no it's not enough to know it you're going to confess it because the

28:45

Bible says in second Corinthians 4 we having the same Spirit of faith

28:51

now the quotation there is from Psalms is saying that we're having the same Spirit of faith that faith of David

28:58

right we having the same Spirit of faith I believe therefore have I spoken we

29:04

also believe and therefore speak it's not enough just to believe you gotta speak

29:11

you're gonna say I'm the righteousness of God in Christ then comes another teaching now I mean it's been coming for

29:17

some time right but uh in the social media and all that you find people come against Christians and set up status of

29:22

all our Christians coming against Christians friend the social media must be a place

29:28

where they see our love for one another and maybe they are not being rich because Jesus Says by this love for one

29:34

another by this shall all men know you are my disciples instead of using their platform to attack one another one how

29:41

we use the platform to bless one another and use it for the gospel even we have disagreement let's revolve

29:48

around the person let's agree on the person of our Lord Jesus Christ there is 100 uh God 100 man he died for our sins

29:56

on the cross he rose from the date on the third day amen and whatever else is peripheral shall we

30:03

shall We Gather around that the Bible Now talks about Unity of the doctrine it says Unity of the spirit

30:10

we cannot agree on everything yes because you know what uh if there are two of us there are three opinions

30:16

amen among Christians sometimes but let's not bring our dirty laundry

30:22

for the world to see and you tell them you know you need Jesus

30:29

so out there in the world right now social media they they would they'll come against you if you confess all

30:35

right like God the Bible says it in a Romans 4 Abraham was like God

30:43

because God quickens the dead and calls those things that are not

30:49

as though they are the Bible says that's what we are to be call those things that are not

30:55

as though they are that are not what not visible not sensible to touch right nothing that you

31:02

can hear or whatever yet yet it will always come out in the flesh in the realm like this building amen now we can

31:10

see it now we can feel it now we can we can uh look at it we can take pictures of it right but it came out of faith

31:18

when does nothing amen but Faith like God is a spirit God brought forth the

31:23

visible world Amen everything visible came from the invisible

31:30

amen so think about it people God calls those things that are not in

31:37

the Physical Realm yet as though they are there isn't it

31:42

amen God calls Abraham when he didn't have a son through Sarah yet right you're a father of many nations

31:52

you are a father not not you will be in the Hebrew literally I have made you

31:58

a father of many nations when he didn't even have a son through Sarah his wife

32:04

father of many God changed his name because it's from now on your name is

32:10

called Abraham which means father of many imagine the wife calling him you know in their old age

32:16

to come back and eat lunch or dinner in the field

32:22

father of many father of many all the village talking oh poor lady

32:27

poor Abraham they wanted they want to child so much they change their names right one is

32:34

called Princess all right one is called father of many

32:39

pray for them father of many father so come God like

32:45

not as though they are God for Darkness God didn't say whoa so dark

32:51

you become darker no God called what he wanted what he wanted like God says

32:56

light be God saw Darkness but God didn't call Darkness God didn't call what he

33:02

saw he called forth what he wanted to see matter that's God's way that's faith I

33:09

believe and therefore I speak so long before you see you guys you're gonna believe it I'm the righteous of God in

33:14

Christ before you can manifest righteous thoughts righteous Behavior righteous actions

33:20

right believing leads the right living amen so in this area you know what some

33:27

people the way they say it it sounds so bad they make it sound like like for example health and wealth gospel sounds

33:33

bad right it sounds bad health and wealth gospel honestly I never subscribe to a health

33:38

and wealth gospel I thought the gospel is a gospel of grace and peace amen but it does produce

33:45

okay you don't like wealth provisions you don't like health

33:51

well-being peace okay but when you put it like that

33:58

health and wealth gospel it sounds bad because the Bible never talks about health involved gospel the Bible talks

34:04

about the gospel of grace that's where it all starts when you are made righteous amen you receive the

34:10

blessings of the righteous yeah amen another one that they'd like to say this

34:17

is the name it and you claim it Bunch they call you Allah name it and claim it Bunch this is the naming and claim it

34:23

Bunch oh that church is the naming and claiming church that's making fun of what God calls those things that are not

34:28

as though they were Jesus heard all right that person is dead

34:35

they just confess the deaf no amen he didn't confess what was in the

34:43

natural he confessed what he wanted to see I am the resurrection and the life he that Believes In Me

34:49

though he would date yet shall he lift all right he did not say right that he

34:55

was dead at one point he said because the disciples did not understand he says I go you know to wake Lazarus he's

35:01

sleeping oh it's good if he's sleeping let him sleep benjus and Lazarus is dead

35:07

all right that's because of their weakness he came down to the level but you find that always Jesus always calls

35:13

those things that are not as though they are he tells people who are who are you know

35:18

um uh withered in their hand stretch forth your hand amen he calls forth what

35:24

he wanted to see wholeness in that hand stand take up your bed and walk

35:30

amen fear not belief only and she shall be made whole amen that's faith

35:37

amen and this whole universe bows to Faith I'll tell you this why because this universe is made by God

35:44

not by this handful culture not by these people who are now trying

35:51

to take dominion over the world it's not are you listening so when you hear this kind of thing

35:56

don't swing to this side by the way there are extremes there are people I claim this person's Cadillac I claim

36:03

this person's Lamborghini you don't claim people's Lamborghini hello wake up your God is not so poor so as to claim

36:10

the and all they claim is Lamborghini Ferrari that kind of thing you know I mean okay you you want to but does God

36:18

answer the prayer these are the things that give a bad name to the true teaching

36:23

yeah it's Prosperity with a purpose that God wants us to see that we can be a

36:28

blessing to many so the first thing we need to establish you got to believe that why why must we believe is it

36:34

important I say just now is it important for us to believe or not believe does it matter if I believe it matters because

36:40

your spirit you don't even realize it your spirit is open to have been your

36:46

belief God wants you to have it God wants to prosper you your spirit is open that's

36:51

the faith realm and you begin to see breakthroughs of the breakthroughs Miracle of the miracle blessings of the

36:56

blessings when in the natural there's none but on the other hand if you don't believe that you know uh this is for you

37:04

all right in fact you shine it you won't receive God will never force you to receive something you don't want to receive

37:10

you know before you were saved amen you might even be against Christ be against Christians and make fun of them

37:16

make fun of church and all that right how do you get safe you heard the word there's no other way faith comes by

37:24

hearing hearing by the word of God either someone shared with you the word of God or about salvation about Christ

37:29

The Gospel or you saw it amen the gospel being preached it is still the word amen

37:36

being watched being heard and then you have faith and then you can be safe

37:41

so it's in everything you need to hear the word and that's why I'm preaching

37:47

are you listening people now we're heading in tough days all right back to uh Genesis 26

37:53

Abraham's son Isaac there was a famine in the land besides the first famine

37:59

that was in the days of Abraham and Isaac went to abimelech King of the Philistines in Gerard so say famine say

38:06

famine famine is a time of lack okay

38:12

now this famine is bad okay that means there's not enough to eat

38:18

your crops cannot grow and the Bible goes on to say it was It was a famine that was severe just like

38:26

the time of uh if you keep on reading it's a time of uh Abraham which is severe

38:31

and uh the time of Joseph it was also severe whenever famine comes into the world so

38:38

first of all we see the famine does come periodically to the world okay so what makes this famine something

38:44

we can learn from from for today and when you read the Bible I told you in the lesson on how to study the Bible is

38:51

that a lot of things written in the past in the stories in the Old Testament and all that are two past types for us to

38:57

learn today and that was God put them there because it's so relevant it speaks to us today God who saw the future put

39:05

it in the book then that it might speak to us why in the future of what happened then and what they did then is what we

39:12

can do today and the result we saw then is the result we can see today

39:19

a man are you with me so far so first we established already that we are

39:24

Abraham's seed right if you are Christ are you Christ don't your neighbors are you Christ

39:32

a Christ belong to Christ that is are you someone belonging to Christ are you

39:37

Christ right if you are Christ then what you are Abraham's seed and heirs according

39:44

to the promise as according to the promise amen so you are the heir according to

39:50

the promise so the clearest picture of an a direct seat of Abraham we know

40:01

and if you're Christ you are in him as he is so are we you see right so you're Abraham's seed but a

40:07

direct illustration of that is Isaac Isaac was the son of Abraham the promised seat all right that came

40:13

finally so this story of Abe how I Abraham's son Isaac dealt with the

40:18

famine okay now many of you know the story but you know the holy spirit is bring it into a new light

40:24

okay so back to Genesis 26 drop down and drop down then the Lord appeared to

40:30

him and said do not go down to Egypt live in the land of which I shall tell you dwell in this land and I'll be with

40:36

you and bless you for to you and your descendants I give all this lands now perform the oath which I swore to

40:42

Abraham your father so the first thing God said to you to Abraham's seed

40:48

all of you don't go down to Egypt what does that mean when famine happens

40:54

don't give up on God's ways and use the world's ways man and remember this every

41:01

time he says about Egypt it is always go down

41:08

come let us go up to the mountain of the Lord but

41:15

they Jonah when Jonah rebelled against God it was down down down down he went down to jopa

41:21

all right the port he got into a boat went down into a boat when he was in the boat

41:28

went down to Sea right the boat they throw him down he went down into the sea

41:34

went down into the whale's belly so moral story very simple turn away

41:40

from God down down down down down amen come back to God up up

41:50

amen so don't go down to the world's ways now the world will offer you a lot of things immediate gratification and we

41:57

got a whole generation of people who want quick money they want quick returns

42:04

they're not interested in either by labor shall increase

42:10

they are interested in in honoring the boss and the company

42:16

which is Spirit of what Colossians writes about knowing that of the Lord you shall receive the reward

42:22

impatience has come in they are not looking for that job anymore I believe that I'm caught by God to

42:29

prosper now this is Extreme all right they're not going by the Bible Way all

42:34

I'm going to teach and in the weeks to come will be on God's kind of prosperity

42:40

which is not World kind of prosperity now you might be sitting here I don't need all this I have many millions in my

42:47

Banks you know I think Billy Sunday was going to say he who has no money is poor

42:52

but he does nothing but money is poorer even poorer

42:59

truly poor [Music] you have nothing but money no I'm not thinking about that there are

43:05

poor people with plenty of money I mean God blessing you in every area of your life every area of your life what the Bible

43:12

calls in Joshua 1 8 good success man what the Bible calls again and again

43:17

whatever he does prospers whatever he does prospers and the Lord will bless you and and uh you shall land unto men

43:25

in Deuteronomy 28 right now you shall learn unto many nations and you shall not borrow and the Lord will make you

43:30

the head and not the tail amen pray all this part of The Blessing of Abraham

43:36

so the first thing God says don't go down to worldly ways now worldly ways is this wrong is this

43:44

right is this wrong is this right look at the principle is it taking a lot of your time

43:50

are you losing your health your sleep over it are your eyeballs swollen

43:57

are you stressed over it are you looking at the prices all the

44:03

time see the fluctuations so principles like this

44:09

I can't see if this is right this is wrong principles God doesn't bless with all these Sorrows

44:16

there's a verse that says the blessing of the Lord make us rich and listen and adds no

44:22

sorrow with it read what it means in the Hebrew it doesn't accompany with toil

44:28

painful toil he adds no sorrow the pain is not bad

44:35

are you listening people he adds no painful toil

44:41

SF pain no painful toil

44:46

so God blesses you amen even though you're working hard there's a pleasure

44:53

you know your your bodybuilders uh those are bodybuilders I think we have one or two in front

44:58

[Music] um enough of showing them huh camera only

45:05

all right I mean you know that they say no pain no gain right but but actually what uh they'll tell you is that the

45:12

pain cannot be excruciating it cannot be like sharp pain it's gonna be a pleasant kind of like exercise gonna be a

45:18

pleasant kind of like exertion not painful exertion unless you're hurting yourself

45:24

now we're going to discover that all right your exercise yeah there is labor there is sweat and all that but it

45:30

should not come to place off breathlessness and uh and uh pain that is acute all right so

45:38

friend when God blesses you everything in your life is blessed

45:45

so when God says I'll bless you then because it dwell in this land there was Jorah dwell in this land and I will

45:51

bless you the argument about blessing is blessing from God or what you know what is

45:56

blessing or possibly blessing means uh you have peace in your heart and and when you say peace where you got the

46:02

word peace in your heart from this is in the heart in the mind yes but where do you get it from you got it from the

46:07

Bible amen the Bible told us peace amen you got it from the old English peace where he got it from the Bible

46:15

amen and you have the Greek word in the New Testament for peace is Irene you

46:20

have the Old Testament word for peace which is what

46:26

shalom now Shalom you ask any Hebrew person you go to Israel many are going to Israel

46:32

already all right ask them what does Shalom mean Shalom only peace of mind and heart no Shalom is Health they'll tell you that

46:39

Shalom is prosperity when they say shalom they are saying may all things go

46:45

well with you around you amen now Pastor Prince you

46:51

are just saying that okay or they are just saying that maybe the Bible meant something else okay let's look at a

46:58

scholar okay and this is shalom definition from mount's complete expository dictionary of all the New

47:05

Testament words is a is a is a Hebrew expert okay you're looking for expert

47:11

and so I put this down for you see people like you are wasting your time but never mind to prove to you all right

47:17

it's not just Pastor Prince saying it okay so Shalom is one of the most important words in the Old Testament in

47:22

addition to peace it can be translated as Prosperity well-being health completeness safety

47:32

but is that a mouthful so when I say shalom what does it mean a man and by the way you can't say it's

47:40

changed because the only thing that's changed in the New Testament is the words change of Grace

47:46

where Paul speaks to uh the Jewish people in the in the New Testament in the church and all that do you think he

47:51

spoke great with his fellow Jew no amen when Jesus appeared to John and

47:58

says I am the first and the last the first life I'm Alpha and Omega the first and last letter of the Greek alphabet

48:04

but then when you talk to a fellow Jew do you think he said I'll find Omega no it's translated for us

48:10

he will speak Hebrew what is it I'm alive and tough first letter and last letter of the

48:16

Hebrew alphabet I left you put together is the fourth word of the first sentence of the Bible in the beginning God

48:22

created the heavens and the Earth he says in the beginning God three words there the center one is our left half

48:28

untranslated the heavens and the Earth three words make a menorah Center untranslated

48:35

which is the signature of Jesus Christ right from the beginning he says I am the olivetaf your review

48:40

that he is the creator amen are you with me so far

48:46

all right so very clear Shalom so when Paul says Shalom to his fellow being from the human beings right

48:53

what is it what does it mean it's a mouthful do you see it on people

48:58

all right it's not just peace of mind your peace bro yo pre peace bro

49:05

peace we mean peace peace of mind all right

49:10

peace bro don't go in pieces amen yeah the idea is there it means

49:16

complete completeness right completeness not in pieces

49:22

hello one piece Bible peace right and every time Paul

49:30

opens up his uh letters he says Grace and peace shalom in the Hebrew

49:36

right Irene in the Greek for peace is the same same

49:42

Bible different words sorry different uh language of the same word

49:48

okay so God told Isaac I bless you right bless you okay look at the bless I bless

49:54

you stay in this land I'll bless you go back to Isaac first you have dwell in this land I'll be with you and I'll

49:59

bless you the way there's Barack Barack that's why President Barack Obama was

50:05

very happy his name is Barack when he goes to Israel he says my name is Blessing amen Barack

50:14

now what is Barack the noun is

50:20

Abraham I'll bless you and you shall be a blessing our Baroque you and you will

50:26

be a Baraka and the value of Baraka you shall be a blessing so blessing is the the noun

50:32

rank Barak is the verb okay so it is Barack what is Barack so I say God will

50:39

bless you in every area of your life well it really matters number one relationship with God you are the

50:45

righteousness of God in Christ The Blessing of Abraham has come on us hello

50:51

amen real quick Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law that the blessing okay Christ has

50:57

redeemed us who is us you and I you and I all right we are now we have been

51:02

Ransom from what the curse of the law we are not under the curse of the law and

51:08

amen even though we're not perfect we're not under the curse of the law

51:14

okay why because by the way you can't mean anything but that we're not perfect why because if

51:20

you say Pastor Prince it's only for people who who are who are keeping the law there makes no reason why is there a

51:26

curse for him why should there be a curse for someone who is keeping the law

51:32

the only means something when people are not perfect right but he says Christ has redeemed us

51:39

from the curse of the law being made a curse for us and what is the purpose that The Blessing of Abraham

51:46

the blessing of what Abraham might come on the Gentiles that's you and I non-jews through Jesus Christ how true

51:54

Faith they went we might receive the promise of the spirit true faith do you see that

52:01

so The Blessing of Abraham the blessing that brings every blessing is righteousness

52:06

of faith God has made you righteous with him you're so close your position before God

52:12

right nice so near him say Sonia you are so nearer you cannot be for in

52:19

the person of his son you are as near as he okay you can't be nearer you are in

52:27

Christ so near to God when you pray you must always have the sense I'm like not a God so far away talk to God

52:34

amen some people just yell you're by themselves oh God it's like

52:39

start from the wrong premise like God Is So Far Away lovers don't yell you know

52:45

you don't walk you know I don't they still dead in Botanic Gardens or not but we're illustrating you find all of a

52:50

sudden you're walking in the evening oh I love you

52:58

Swedish I know he's a Japanese couple

53:03

another one yo oh the monkeys trembling for hiding

53:10

here right I love you too

53:15

see amen now we know where they are you know it's like no one does that lovers only love us whisper

53:25

I love you love you too

53:31

hey man let's be in front of the parents something far away just

53:37

amen amen

53:46

okay so the black stick of Abraham comes on us right so

53:51

So I says I bless Ed say the word now barang includes blessing

53:58

the area of prosperity in terms of material things as well

54:04

in the Bible okay you say Apostle praying that's your opinion that's your opinion okay this is my opinion let's go

54:09

to a scholar a Hebrew scholar this time not Mount I find somebody else the new

54:15

international dictionary of New Testament theology sounds fancy

54:21

this kind of people usually they don't they don't they don't believe in baptism of the Holy Spirit the way we do believe

54:27

and bring in tongues and all that they believe in fixation and all that it's all gone ready uh most of them this has

54:32

Scholars well I'll repute it who write this kind of books see what he says

54:38

by the way Euro here is the Greek for blessing bless all right so left is Old

54:45

Testament Barack New Testament is Europe same meaning okay like you say you say eulogy right

54:52

it's from the Greek word you look here you're good Lord yeah word okay is it together it becomes a blessing basically

54:58

Barack the Hebrew word Barack means and do with beneficial power when God

55:03

blesses you listen in this time of famine when God blesses you you are endured with beneficial power

55:12

to effect all these things in your life the nature of the blessing is that of the conferring and transference of

55:19

beneficial power beneficial say beneficial power all right which

55:24

produces fertility in men and in livestock and lands would you say that

55:31

back in those days because it's translating for the Old Testament blessing of the Israelis and all that in

55:37

what way does it manifest because they are all people involved in husbandry in farming right they grow grapes Vine uh

55:47

Vine grapes and figs and and olive trees and all that the more they have the more

55:53

they prosper and they have flocked as well so the more fruitful via flock is

56:00

what happens they prosper so here says all right this blessing

56:06

Works vertically in the continued growth of succeeding Generations horizontally

56:12

it it affects peace security from enemies think of that think of that good fortune

56:20

now we come to Chinese New Year [Laughter]

56:27

is this a Christian study book

56:32

and well-being what does that mean well-being does that mean that you're always safe

56:39

always tired no energy press is that well-being no

56:45

well-being for tribe or group Express most comprehensively in the

56:51

concept shalom's well-being again so Barak and Shalom is very close can

56:57

you see that all right if this book is not enough let me show you another book is a theological workbook

57:03

of the Old Testament Your Grace Academy has started all right this is your theological

57:10

workbook of the Old Testament now watch this blessed in the Old Testament means to endure with power for success

57:18

prosperity for candidity and longevity

57:26

means you're very fruitful plenty of children how many one blessing

57:32

foreign

57:43

means having a lot of children that means you are very fruitful for the

57:49

animals like the sheep that they're they they they raise the goats and the the

57:54

cows and all that when they have fecundity they have plenty of of spring which increases the wealth of both

58:00

people in those days but in our contacts what does it mean our business our ministry

58:06

flourishes increases see God doesn't think that when these things increase there are curse

58:14

for him to put the word blessed isn't a blessing today we're here when God removes something is to bless you my

58:21

friend when you're not feeling well it's a lesson it's a blessing for you

58:26

what's the lesson I want to know the lesson of us I want to learn it fast so that this lesson can be shortened

58:33

all right no usually sometimes it takes the life away before the lesson can be learned

58:39

no my friend if that is true if people who are always broke always poor are the

58:45

only ones God is calling to preach the gospel and those who are sick always sick always on their backs are the ones

58:51

that God calls the gospel God preaching gospel the gospel would not never go around the world

58:58

think about it people who is behind this this systematic uh elimination of this

59:05

teaching in the church why because he's trying to stop the gospel from spreading

59:11

think about it if you are always broke can you sponsor the gospel no

59:17

always sake can you be your position to go around share with people or even travel or even you know put in effort if

59:24

you always flat on your back no is this the army that God is Raising to

59:31

preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ so the devil wants you to believe

59:37

no I am not for listen I'm not for Love of Money let's establish that once and from and the Bible says is the love of

59:43

money that's a problem all right first Timothy six For the Love of Money is the root of all kinds of evil don't say

59:49

money is the root if money is the root give me

59:57

the money read carefully the love Everest love of money is the root is the

1:00:05

root of all kinds of evil it's amazing and I can pressure a whole sermon on this all kinds of evil can be

1:00:11

traced back to money you think that oh this is uh nothing doing money it could be traced back to

1:00:17

money all kinds of evil in the world today can be traced back to well well a lot animals are not extinct

1:00:24

why Love of Money what's the extinction of the love for money things about it you're a drawer

1:00:30

draw the dots the lines on the dots you you were you you will see everything a

1:00:35

lot of a lot of things all kinds of evil means all kinds you don't have to break the love of money in your life

1:00:42

all kinds of evil to manifest in your life right you know how to break it the type

1:00:49

that's why God gives us life and that's why so so attacked by the enemy

1:00:54

a man but tithe is the proof that however blessed you are you never forget that God is your source

1:01:01

honor the Lord with your substance and with the first first of all your increase so shall your bonds be filled

1:01:06

with plenty and your wine press will burst out with new wine honor the Lord with your substance and with the first

1:01:12

fruits your tithe of all your increase

1:01:18

Jacob said to God of all that you give me when he had nothing but the clothes on his back and the stuffed in his hand

1:01:24

he left home in fact flat from home because fleeing from his brother who was about to heal him he told God of all

1:01:31

that you give me from now on I'll give a 10 to you and that's before the law that was

1:01:38

before the law when he came back many years after now we've trapped his family and his 12 sons they make up the 12

1:01:44

tribes of of Israel he came back plentiful with plenty and all that and all a lot of hurts and all that and he

1:01:50

had a lot of people with him at the time God reminded him remember Jacob I am the

1:01:56

god of Bethel and God said this specifically where you vowed a vow to me what was The

1:02:04

Vow the only vow you read all that you give me I'll give a turn to you

1:02:10

amen no senior partner asked for 110. no

1:02:16

God is a senior partner I guess you understand right amen now again relax relax breathe

1:02:25

am I asking the time no this message of tithing the Bible says in Hebrews is for

1:02:31

people it's strong meat is for people who have a revelation God doesn't take the tithe from people who don't have a

1:02:37

revelation and that's why it's so disputed

1:02:45

amen

1:02:50

this anymore I don't believe in that anymore without even knowing the repercussions of what they're saying and now after the pandemic so many churches

1:02:57

especially we thank God for our church our church people are amazing all right new Christian Church is

1:03:02

blessed I must say that but in yes you deserve it

1:03:07

amen I salute you you know I as a volunteer Pastor I love coming here to preach amen

1:03:14

you ought to take care of all these people who are drawing your salary amen

1:03:19

I love this church and and really we're helping other churches one of the first things we did when we went into a a a uh

1:03:27

you know the the pandemic in in 20 uh 20 right one of the first things we did and

1:03:33

Apostle Lawrence is here is that um now you can focus on Pastor Lawrence whether he agree or not uh so as the

1:03:40

Lawrence members that one of the first things we did was to sit down and discuss churches in Singapore

1:03:46

and around the region but basically at times Singapore there are suffering that

1:03:52

need help yeah all right financial help okay because we hear that many of them

1:03:57

um they're not getting the help amen so we we and then the things they must do

1:04:02

it anonymously you'll Now find their names we want to do it anonymously the record is there but you you won't

1:04:08

announce to you their names and all that because it's kind of embarrassing also for the members to hear oh our church

1:04:14

depends on new friends some people don't even don't even agree on our Doctrine but can receive our money no problem you know so the thing is this

1:04:22

that's it you know everyone means well you know we don't have to agree on everything all right as long as we

1:04:28

revolve around Jesus Christ but this shall men know you see I I don't want I don't want the pastor to be embarrassed

1:04:33

you know one thing we tell them when we support you please don't say it's New Creation Church don't have to tell anybody

1:04:39

except those you are accountable to right in your your church Council and all that but don't don't mention us

1:04:46

amen don't ever mention us okay another thing we did was that our churches did not know how to get online

1:04:51

we have the technology we have the expertise we have the people so we invite them to come to our our

1:04:58

office to learn how to go online we send some people over to teach them how to do it and again we won't mention

1:05:05

it so that their members will not hear about it and and the person don't have to be embarrassed also you know what I'm

1:05:10

saying all right remember one of the first things we did now are we putting a feather on my Camp by sharing I think this is probably the first time right

1:05:15

Lawrence I'm sharing uh publicly for the first time I'm just I'm just telling you that is

1:05:21

what a good prosperity teaching is all about to be a blessing

1:05:30

it's not the Love of Money yeah give Jesus the praise him and this is your church

1:05:36

amen so even after the pandemic right now

1:05:43

many churches many churches every thank God this is not true of our church our

1:05:48

church is still going strong by the grace of God and uh the the people who are Titus are the solid backbone of this

1:05:56

church thank God for them whoever it's a revelation but many many places of the pandemic they are suffering financially

1:06:03

because some churches are shutting down some can't pay their rent some come video and then we've got teachings coming up oh you know we don't believe

1:06:09

in prosperity you know Christians rising up you are prosperous keep quiet

1:06:16

amen don't don't Rob people of the truth number one good ground is the Gospel of Jesus Christ whoever the gospel is

1:06:22

perceived you don't think I'm preaching the gospel never mind don't sow go find a place where the gospel is being

1:06:27

preached and so into it because I'll tell you one thing what

1:06:34

Isaac did was this he was famine the famine was bad

1:06:39

okay because it was mentioned like it was the Famine of Abraham the famine Abraham was like that of

1:06:46

Joseph in Genesis so it's the same famine and I established last week that there's a

1:06:52

clue here which I won't go into now there is a time when Russia is prominent right or Pastor showed me

1:07:00

the clue go and get the message last week last week want to come now you're coming when you expect me to go back for you just for you allowing out thousands

1:07:07

of people waiting you know for other things or not and time is of the essence you know before you know it I must send you back right okay so

1:07:13

[Music] part of the Ministries reproof rebuke

1:07:20

because I love you man I love you amen I wanted to keep on hearing you missed one

1:07:26

Sunday all right you know what happened to Thomas but he missed one Sunday let's appeared the previous Sunday he

1:07:32

wasn't there right when Jesus appeared Again by the way he didn't appear he wasn't there and he became an unbelieving believer

1:07:39

he says unless I see the print in his hands I won't believe right and Jesus appeared next Sunday

1:07:46

just for Thomas also right so one Sundays it makes a

1:07:51

difference and yo by the way you're going to Revenge holiday right

1:07:56

I know school's coming to an end and all that do not forget to tune in all right I don't care in the midst of

1:08:03

your Sashimi you can hear all right you don't have to be listening or watching

1:08:08

you can be listening understand or not amen you need to get into the world one if not just one wig I'm telling you you

1:08:16

become a Thomas if your name is Thomas my apologies okay

1:08:22

so the Love of Money okay so watch this it says that for which some have strayed

1:08:28

from the faith in their greediness and greed is the problem and Pierce themselves through with many Sorrows

1:08:34

it's no joke you know I mean you have Love of Money many stories is coming your way is there an arrow you'll be

1:08:40

pierced with many Sorrows that's what the Bible says all right so money is a tool

1:08:46

is a servant it's not a master Jesus is the master said that you don't throw your money and

1:08:52

say Ambani is the root of all evil a lot of people money is and read your Bible uh

1:08:57

read your Bible amen it does not say that amen

1:09:03

well the Bible says it's hard for rich people to enter the kingdom of God really really

1:09:09

well the disciples thought that's why he said then Jesus clarified look at this Jesus looked around his disciples how

1:09:16

hard is for those who have reached us to enter the kingdom of God the disciples were astonish at his words you know why they astonish they must be quite rich

1:09:23

they have a fishing business they have partners remember FIFA had Partners they have

1:09:30

Partners in their fishing business when Jesus is hard for rich people to enter you know what happened to them they were astonished amen

1:09:40

they were astonished why were they astonished they must be quite okay there financially then Jesus

1:09:47

knew that they misunderstand and Jesus explained again watch this is very

1:09:53

important he says Jesus answered again and said to them children how hard it is for those who trust in

1:09:59

riches not those in God

1:10:05

those who trust in riches to enter the kingdom of God I said can you have the love of money

1:10:11

with no money in your pocket is it possible can someone with no money

1:10:16

love money yeah every time they think money money I wish I had more money I

1:10:22

can't do that like or no money all right who is your God your God tells you go here I go no manila so money is your God

1:10:28

because your money says no stay causes go no money hey man I can't do that why God says do

1:10:35

that no I can't do that why no money so he said who is your god

1:10:40

it's the one you obey so you can see how the devil can bring in lack of money right

1:10:47

Listen People to control you so we're not controlled by money

1:10:54

in in Deuteronomy 28 the blessings are behind the parity is always behind they come on

1:10:59

you and overtake you but you are focusing on Jesus oh man oh man uh gold Frankenstein still

1:11:07

follow Jesus they still follow Jesus amen go off to Jesus

1:11:13

praise the Lord is no good you know there's a bye-bye principle called The Law of first

1:11:19

mentioned all right the law of first mention that means every time a subject is mentioned for the first time there's something

1:11:25

significant which doesn't know any goal was mentioned in Genesis chapter 2 it says a river

1:11:32

went out of Eden to water the garden became from there for riverheads the name of the first is pishon it is the

1:11:38

one which cuts the whole land of havilah where there is go um some of you might be uh might be intrigued to know that

1:11:45

Josephus the Jewish historian says he believed pishon is the river Indus or

1:11:50

yenges yenges river now there's a lot of opinions okay about this okay I'm just telling you what Joseph's belief the

1:11:57

name of the first is fish on but now the Earth is divided so that all the geographies change so one of the river

1:12:03

is called bishon it is the one which cuts the whole land of habila where there is gold

1:12:08

and the goal of that land is good so the first mention of goal

1:12:14

is good just reading the Bible folks I'm just

1:12:19

reading the Bible there must be a purpose by God see again you're like money it is not gold that's

1:12:25

wrong if God is wrong goal is evil God did wrong can I say that because God put

1:12:31

the goal hey

1:12:36

God put the goal here right

1:12:47

is good right now because of time I have to close with this I I need you to see this

1:12:54

this is very important okay did Jesus Take The Curse of poverty on

1:13:00

himself on our behalf at the cross so that verse you all know and some

1:13:05

people here are well establishing it but you look at Second Corinthians chapter 8 verse nine you know the grace of our

1:13:11

Lord Jesus Christ that though he was rich yet for your sakes he became poor that you through his poverty might

1:13:17

become rich right so here stand alone you can you can say

1:13:24

oh spiritually Rich spiritually poor you can see it you can say it that way and who is that about you

1:13:31

but everything must be translated in context remember what we said about how to study

1:13:38

the Bible must be translated in context this is talking about physically

1:13:43

even physically he was destitute they gambled for his clothes at the foot of

1:13:48

the cross one of the things he carried for us of course first and foremost he carried out sins praise the Lord but the

1:13:55

Bible also said he carried out diseases amen himself to our infirmities and boss

1:14:00

sicknesses with the stripes we are healed but he also carried out poverty there is no light in heaven

1:14:06

or on streets of gold something is very wrong with heaven you won't feel comfortable going there

1:14:16

you will tell God I think this is a bit grandiose tone it down

1:14:22

we don't want people to say of you God that you believe in the health and wealth gospel

1:14:28

okay something is wrong when Jesus is prettiest way thy kingdom come

1:14:35

on Earth as it is in heaven no leg no life

1:14:42

Supply Supply okay I I gotta put this through the context

1:14:48

is important this verse 9 right look at the verses before he's talking four things I bear them witness according to

1:14:53

the Ability Beyond their ability they were freely willing talking about the the people in Macedonia Christians and

1:14:59

Macedonia imploring us with much urgency that we receive the gift and The Fellowship of the ministry to the Saints

1:15:05

and not only as we at Hope but they first gave themselves to the Lord and then To Us by the will of God see come

1:15:11

on giving so we urge titles that as he had begun so he would complete this grace in you as well baby is a Grace he

1:15:18

says all right this people in Macedonia they encourage us to take a gift to the poor Saints in Jerusalem the poor

1:15:24

Christians in Jerusalem they're asking us they're imploring us to take the gift and send Titus repair your your in

1:15:30

Corinthians you're gonna have a part to play in this Fighters can finish the grace disgrace in you the giving is

1:15:37

a great gift amen amen and then look at this

1:15:43

as you abound in everything in faith in speech in knowledge and all diligence in your love for us see that you're bound

1:15:49

in this Grace also what giving Grace amen drop down

1:15:55

I speak not my commandment I'm testing the sincerity of Your Love whether you're giving or not it's not my

1:16:01

commandment but I test the sincerity of your love amen by the diligence of

1:16:06

others you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ okay this is before this verse after this verse still on money

1:16:12

and this I give advice it is to your advantage not only to be doing what you begin and we're designed to do a year ago but now you must also complete the

1:16:19

doing of it give the money you promise to give the money to the poor Saints Corinthian Church now fulfill it all

1:16:27

about giving and it's not that in the middle is that Jesus became full that you might be rich

1:16:33

did Jesus became poor that you might be rich translate in the context by the way this chapter one eight should you know

1:16:40

chapter nine chapter nine goes on and this is the one we use always verse six this I say he was so sparingly will reap

1:16:46

sparingly he will so bountifully will rebountifully Let each one give as a purpose in his heart not grudgingly or of necessity for

1:16:53

God loves a cheerful Giver it's all one thought from Jesus becoming poor at the cross now you are rich act like kid

1:17:01

never say you don't have anything to give gifts he was so sparingly shall rip sparingly he was so Bountiful rip

1:17:08

bountifully amen amen time is up man oh real fast God is able to make all grace

1:17:15

shall all grace abound say abound to us who to us who

1:17:21

yeah I can say me towards you that you always having all sufficiency

1:17:26

in all things may have an abundance for every good work amen

1:17:38

and I've not finished on Isaac again

1:17:47

well let's finish Isaiah okay and now send you home okay all right so because they stay in this

1:17:54

land bless you all right drop down then Isaac story in that land and rip in

1:17:59

the same year a hundredfold and the Lord blessed him would you just left there

1:18:04

how much did he reap and what year was it famine you know what is in front of him

1:18:12

when he saw would you see the land it was severe famine you know what the land looked like not like this

1:18:19

all right just imagine just imagine here's seed all right you are asked to sow in this land would you

1:18:26

you're gonna do it by faith I think you're big by faith your mind is saying there's no way the sea will uh

1:18:32

Sprout no no way famine all right

1:18:37

enough water the ground has lost its nutrients

1:18:42

that's necessary it's actually a dust faith

1:18:48

sowing takes faith yeah do like the stock market and say a

1:18:53

lot of my money can go there because it looks green potential natural logic everything's

1:18:59

good or this investment everything you know today we decide where our money goes based on the greenery

1:19:06

and the logic but when you look at this Norway you will invest and God says look at gospel

1:19:13

ground you say what does he do for me For You gospel ground is just like dry

1:19:18

stock market ah crypto

1:19:24

and whatever okay now I'm not saying these things are wrong I'm not saying that all right the law may lead you into this

1:19:30

whatever it is go ahead I'm just saying this is not the main system of God

1:19:36

and if you're involved in it and you are really stressed out and you're always in Strife is not God if you're in it you're

1:19:42

in rest but your main stay is always tithing trusting the Lord that's that's cool

1:19:49

all right but when you look at gospel ground it looks like this and God is so this is what Isaac saw

1:19:55

he's a year of famine don't forget that's how the ground looks go back to the verse Again by Isaac sword is that

1:20:00

Faith do you think he did it by faith or by Logic and rape in the same year a hundredfold

1:20:06

and the Lord bless him the man began to prosper okay it's not enough okay

1:20:12

spring until he became very prosperous I call this 34 6400 for

1:20:19

in the same year no in the same year 104. and he tells you who is behind it the

1:20:25

Lord blessed him now you have a problem when you start prospering remember this

1:20:31

right Prosperity with a purpose God's purpose and this is the problem

1:20:37

for he had possessions of flocks and possessions of hurts and a great number of servants saw the Philistines envied

1:20:45

him there'll be people who be jealous of you there'll be people looking at a church

1:20:51

and trying to find oh this church manipulate the people for money must be one right they look at a big house of a

1:20:58

celebrity or not they don't say anything all right a big house of businessman businessman don't say anything if they see a house even average size

1:21:06

all right he might be doing something wrong okay that's a mentality oh a church must be small and poor

1:21:16

s uh how can you say that

1:21:21

why is the church mouse different from other Mouse oh there is a difference compared church

1:21:26

mouse with Mickey Mouse Mickey Mouse is prosperous no one says that Mickey Mouse

1:21:32

believe in the health and wealth Doctrine nobody says that but I tell you this I tell you if you need to cancel

1:21:38

someone you might cancel Mickey Mouse

1:21:45

no of course not don't blame Nikki don't blame Nini don't don't blame Donald

1:21:54

[Music] it is The Flash The Flash doesn't like God's people to prosper

1:21:59

he can prosper but you cannot and really just people unfortunately the religious side of

1:22:06

Christianity all right that's not even alternative the middle of the road

1:22:12

how we can be good stewards of God's money how to become faithful stewards of God's money

1:22:18

God doesn't Prosper he won't come your way amen and I'm just starting

1:22:23

I'm just starting a series I wish I had more time I wish this whole day was a seminar and just go line up online go

1:22:30

into summer stuff okay but

1:22:35

how many are glad that at the cross one of the things he paid for us became poor

1:22:41

he who flung The Stars the galaxies the universe in in space

1:22:48

he the Bible says the cattle on a thousand hills belongs to him he put the Diamonds

1:22:55

the amethysts the rubies The Sapphires the gold in this earth

1:23:01

when he came he divested himself of all that and on the cross

1:23:08

he died he died like a poor man with nothing

1:23:13

why was he poor in and of himself no he did it for you it's part of

1:23:21

the redeeming world the atoning worked that he bear our sins and you receive his righteousness

1:23:28

he bear your disease you receive his healing and health at the cross he was rejected that you

1:23:36

might be accepted he said my God my God at the cross that you might say my father my father and he

1:23:42

also bore your poverty are you receiving his riches

1:23:47

amen I remember these riches is always a channel it never like a dead sea it's me

1:23:53

it's mine I want to keep everything I have no no no I I get all I can I can all I get and sit on the can that

1:24:00

is not God's way amen God's ways an outlet always a blessing always giving

1:24:06

always sewing looking for opportunity it's pretty the Gospel of Jesus Christ you've got to believe that the tithe

1:24:13

belong to the local church and if you're listening to me and you're from another church please don't tie to this church

1:24:19

amen tithe to your local church over your time make an egg of worship the way they did in the Bible times amen bring
