0:25

letter of the Greek alphabet but then

0:27

0:35

alive and tough

0:37

first letter and last letter of the

0:39

Hebrew alphabet put together is the

0:42

fourth word of the first sentence of the

0:43

Bible in the beginning God created the

0:45

heavens and the Earth he says in the

0:46

beginning God three words there

1:10

Paul says

1:12

being fellow human beings right

1:15

what is it what does it mean it's a

1:17

mouthful

1:39

complete completeness right completeness

1:42

not in pieces

1:45

hello

1:47

how many one piece

1:49

Bible peace right and every time Paul

1:52

opens up his uh letters he says Grace

1:54

and

1:55

peace shalom in the Hebrew

1:59

right

2:00

Irene in the Greek for peace it's the

2:02

same

2:03

same

2:04

Bible different words sorry different uh

2:08

language of the same word

2:11

okay so God told Isaac I bless you right

2:14

bless you okay look at the bless dwell

2:16

in this land I'll be with you and I'll

2:17

bless you the word that's Barack Barack

2:21

now what is Barack the noun is God like

2:25

God told uh

2:26

um Abraham I'll bless you and you shall

2:29

be a blessing I will Barack you and you

2:31

will be a Baraka

2:33

and the value of Baraka you shall be a

2:35

blessing so blessing is the the noun

2:38

right Barak is the verb okay so this is

2:42

Barack what is Barack so I say God will

2:45

bless you in every area of your life

2:46

where it really matters number one

2:48

relationship with God

2:50

you are the righteousness of God in

2:52

Christ The Blessing of Abraham has come

2:53

on us

2:55

hello

2:57

amen real quick Christ has redeemed us

2:59

from the curse of the law

3:01

that the blessing okay Christ has

3:03

redeemed us who is us you and I you and

3:05

I all right we are now we have been

3:08

Ransom from what the curse of the law we

3:10

are not under the curse of the law

3:13

amen even though

3:15

we're not perfect we're not under the

3:18

curse of the law

3:20

okay why because

3:22

by the way it can't mean anything but

3:24

that we're not perfect why because if

3:26

you say Pastor Prince it's only for

3:28

people who who are keeping the law

3:30

it makes no reason why he's there curse

3:32

for him

3:35

why should there be a curse for someone

3:37

who is keeping the law

3:38

it only means something when people are

3:40

not perfect

3:42

right but he says Christ has redeemed us

3:44

from the curse of the law being made a

3:47

curse for us and notice the purpose that

3:49

The Blessing of Abraham

3:52

the blessing of what Abraham might come

3:54

on the Gentiles that's you and I

3:57

non-jews through Jesus Christ how true

4:00

faith we might receive the promise of

4:03

the spirit true faith

4:05

do you see that

4:07

so The Blessing of Abraham the blessing

4:08

that brings every blessing is

4:10

righteousness

4:12

4:15

6:02

6:05

amen

6:07

[Applause]

6:11

okay

6:12

so the plastic of Abraham comes on us

6:15

right so God says I bless you say the

6:18

word Barack

6:19

now Barack includes blessing

6:23

in the area of prosperity

6:25

in terms of material things as well

6:28

is that in the Bible okay you say

6:31

Apostle praying that's your opinion

6:32

that's your opinion okay this is my

6:34

opinion let's go to a scholar a Hebrew

6:36

scholar this time not Mount I find

6:38

somebody else the new international

6:40

dictionary of New Testament theology

6:43

sounds fancy

6:46

let us call us who are reputed to write

6:49

this kind of books see what he says

6:51

basically Barack you look here by the

6:54

way you look here is the Greek for

6:55

blessing bless all right so life is Old

6:59

Testament Barack New Testament is you

7:01

look here same meaning

7:03

okay like you say you say eulogy right

7:06

it's from the Greek word you look here

7:08

you good logia word okay together

7:11

becomes a blessing basically Barack the

7:14

Hebrew word Barack means and do with

7:16

beneficial power when God blesses you

7:19

listen in this time of famine when God

7:21

blesses you you are endured with

7:24

beneficial power

7:26

to affect all these things in your life

7:28

the nature of the blessing is that of

7:31

the conferring and transference of

7:33

beneficial power beneficials say

7:36

beneficial power all right which

7:39

produces fertility in men and in

7:42

livestock and lands would you say that

7:45

back in those days Barack because it's

7:48

translating for the Old Testament

7:49

blessing of the Israelis and all that in

7:52

what way does it manifest because they

7:54

are all people involved in husbandry in

7:57

farming right they grow grapes Vine uh

8:01

Vine grapes and figs and and olive trees

8:06

and all that the more they have the more

8:08

they prosper

8:09

and they have flocks as well so the more

8:12

fruitful via flock is

8:15

what happens they prosper

8:18

so here it says all right this blessing

8:20

Works vertically in the continued growth

8:23

of succeeding Generations horizontally

8:26

it it affects peace

8:29

security from enemies

8:31

think of that think of that good fortune

8:35

now we come to Chinese New Year

8:41

foreign

8:42

book

8:47

and well-being what does that mean

8:50

well-being

8:51

does that mean that you are always sick

8:53

always tired no energy

8:56

depressed

8:58

is that well-being no

9:00

well-being for a tribe or group

9:03

Express most comprehensively in the

9:05

concept Shalom well-being again

9:09

so Barack and Shalom is very close can

9:11

you see that all right if this book is

9:13

not enough let me show you another book

9:15

there's a theological workbook of the

9:19

Old Testament Your Grace Academy has

9:21

started

9:22

all right this is your theological

9:24

workbook of the Old Testament now watch

9:26

this to bless in the Old Testament means

9:29

to and do with power for success

9:33

prosperity

9:35

fecundity

9:36

and longevity

9:40

means you're a very fruitful plenty of

9:42

children

9:45

how many one blessing

9:48

okay like at least you know you you

9:50

African

9:52

you only have a lot of effect or not

9:53

never mind all right you African

9:57

all right for quantity means having a

9:59

lot of children that means you are very

10:02

fruitful for the animals like the sheep

10:05

that they they they raise the goats and

10:08

the the cows and all that when they have

10:10

fecundity they have plenty of Offspring

10:13

which increases the wealth of those

10:15

people in those days but in our context

10:17

what does it mean

10:18

our business our ministry

10:21

flourishes increases so God doesn't

10:24

think that when these things increase

10:25

there are curse

10:28

for him to put the word bless

10:31

isn't a blessing today we hear when God

10:33

removes something is to bless you my

10:35

friend

10:36

when you're not feeling well

10:38

there's a lesson it's a blessing for you

10:41

what's the lesson I want to know the

10:43

lesson fast I want to learn it fast so

10:45

that this lesson can be shortened

10:47

all right no

10:49

usually sometimes it takes the life away

10:52

before the lesson can be learned

10:54

no my friend if that is true if people

10:56

who are always broke always poor are the

10:59

only ones God is calling to preach the

11:01

gospel and those who are sick always

11:03

sick always on their backs are the ones

11:05

that God calls the gospel uh preach the

11:07

gospel the gospel would not never go

11:10

around the world

11:13

think about it people who is behind this

11:15

this systematic uh elimination of this

11:19

teaching in the church

11:21

why because he's trying to stop the

11:23

gospel from spreading think about it if

11:26

you are always broke can you sponsor the

11:29

gospel no

11:31

if you're always sick can you be in a

11:33

position to go around share with people

11:34

or even travel or even you know put in

11:37

effort if you always flat on your back

11:39

no

11:43

is this the army

11:48

the army so devil wants you to believe

11:51

no I am not for listen I'm not for Love

11:54

of Money let's establish that once and

11:56

for all and the Bible says is the Love

11:57

of Money there's a problem all right

11:59

first Timothy six For the Love of Money

12:01

is the root of all kinds of evil don't

12:03

say money is the root

12:06

read carefully the love

12:09

Everest love of money is the root is the

12:13

root of all kinds of evil it's amazing

12:16

and I can preach a whole sermon on this

12:17

all kinds of evil can be traced back to

12:20

money

12:21

you think that oh this is uh nothing to

12:23

do with money it's gonna be traced back

12:25

to money all kinds of evil in the world

12:27

today can be traced back to money people

12:29

say well well a lot a lot of animals are

12:31

not extinct why Love of Money

12:34

a lot of things all kinds of illumines

12:36

all kinds

12:38

you know how to break the love of money

12:39

in your life

12:41

you don't want all kinds of evil to

12:42

manifest in your life right

12:45

you know how to break it

12:46

the type

12:48

that's why God gives the tithe and

12:49

that's why so so attacked

12:51

by the enemy

12:53

a man the tithe is the proof that

12:56

however blessed you are you never forget

12:58

that God is your source

13:00

honor the Lord with your substance and

13:02

with the first fruits of all your

13:03

increase so shall your bonds be filled

13:05

with plenty and your wine press will

13:07

burst out with new wine honor the Lord

13:10

with your substance and with the first

13:11

fruits

13:14

your tithe of all your increase

13:17

Jacob said to God of all that you give

13:19

me when he had nothing but the clothes

13:21

on his back and the stuff in his hand he

13:24

left home in fact flat from home because

13:27

fleeing from his brother who was about

13:28

to kill him he told God of all that you

13:31

give me from now on I'll give a 10 to

13:33

you

13:35

and that's before the law that was

13:37

before the law when he came back many

13:38

years after now with his family and his

13:41

12 sons they make up the 12 tribes of of

13:44

Israel he came back plentiful plenty and

13:46

all that all a lot of hurts and all that

13:49

and he had a lot of people with him at

13:51

the time

13:52

God reminded him remember Jacob I am the

13:55

god

13:56

of Bethel and God said this specifically

13:59

where you vowed a vow to me what was The

14:03

Vow the only vow you read all that you

14:05

give me I'll give attention to you

14:09

amen no senior partner asked for 110.

14:13

no

14:15

God God is a senior partner I guess you

14:16

understand right

14:18

amen now again relax

14:21

relax breathe

14:24

am I asking to try no this message or

14:28

tithing the Bible says in Hebrews is for

14:31

people it's strong meat is for people

14:32

who have a revelation God doesn't take

14:35

the tithe from people who don't have a

14:36

revelation

14:38

and that's why it's so disputed

14:40

it is still valid for today

14:44

amen

14:46

and it's sad when you have people saying

14:48

oh you know I I don't believe in this

14:50

anymore I don't believe in that anymore

14:51

without even knowing the repercussions

14:53

of what they're saying and now after the

14:55

pandemic so many churches especially we

14:57

thank God for our church our church

14:58

people are amazing

15:00

right New Creation just blessed I must

15:02

say that but in yes you deserve it

15:06

amen

15:08

I salute you you know I as a volunteer

15:11

Pastor I love coming here to preach amen

15:13

you ought to take care of all these

15:14

people who are drawing your salary amen

15:18

I love this church and and really we are

15:21

helping other churches one of the first

15:22

things we did when we went into a a a

15:25

you know the the pandemic in in 2020

15:29

right one of the first things we did and

15:32

Pastor Lawrence is here is that

15:35

um now you can focus on Pastor Lawrence

15:37

whether he agree or not uh so Pastor

15:39

Lawrence members that one of the first

15:40

things we did was to sit down and

15:42

discuss churches in Singapore

15:45

and around the region but basically as

15:48

I'm Singapore there are suffering that

15:51

need help

15:52

all right financial help okay because we

15:55

hear that many of them they're not

15:57

getting the help amen so we we and then

16:00

the things that must do it anonymously

16:02

you'll never find their names we want to

16:05

do it anonymously the record is there

16:07

but you you wouldn't announce to you

16:08

their names which church and all that

16:10

because I don't want the pastor to be

16:11

embarrassed you know one thing we tell

16:13

them when we support you please don't

16:15

say it's New Creation Church you don't

16:16

have to tell anybody

16:18

except those you are accountable to all

16:20

right in your your church Council and

16:22

all that but don't don't mention us

16:25

amen don't ever mention us

16:27

okay another thing we did was that uh

16:29

churches did not know how to get online

16:30

we have the technology we have the

16:32

expertise we have the people so we

16:34

invite them to come to our our office to

16:37

learn how to go online

16:39

we send some people over to teach them

16:41

how to do it and again we won't mention

16:43

it so that their members will not hear

16:45

about it

16:46

and and the pastors don't have to be

16:48

embarrassed also yeah I'm saying all

16:50

right one of the first things we did now

16:52

are we putting a feather on my cap by

16:53

sharing I think it's probably the first

16:54

time right Lawrence I'm sharing uh

16:56

publicly for the first time

16:58

I'm just I'm just telling you that is

17:00

what a good prosperity teaching is all

17:04

about to be a blessing

17:07

amen it is not to be greedy

17:09

it's not the Love of Money

17:11

yeah I give Jesus the praise him and

17:13

this is your church

17:15

oh man

17:20

so even after the pandemic right now

17:22

many churches many churches we thank God

17:25

that this is not true about church our

17:27

church is still going strong by the

17:29

grace of God and uh uh the the people

17:32

who are tiders are the solid backbone of

17:34

this church

17:35

thank God for them whoever it's a

17:37

revelation but many many places of the

17:39

pandemic they are suffering financially

17:42

there's some churches are shutting down

17:43

some can't pay their rent some can be

17:45

there and then we've got teachings

17:46

coming up oh you know we don't believe

17:48

in prosperity you know Christians rising

17:50

up you are prosperous keep quiet

17:55

amen don't don't Rob people of the truth

17:57

number one good ground is the Gospel of

17:59

Jesus Christ wherever the gospel is if

18:02

you don't think I'm preaching the gospel

18:03

never mind don't so go find a place

18:05

where the gospel is being preached and

18:07

so into it

18:11

because I tell you one thing what Isaac

18:13

did was this it was famine

18:16

the famine was bad

18:18

okay because it was mentioned like it

18:20

was the Famine of Abraham

18:22

the family Abraham was like that of

18:24

Joseph in Genesis

18:27

so it's same famine and I established

18:29

last week that there's a clue here which

18:32

I won't go into now

18:34

there is a time when Russia

18:36

is prominent right or Pastor show me the

18:39

clue go and get the message last week

18:41

last week want to come now you're coming

18:42

18:45

people waiting you know for other things

18:47

you know and time is of the essence you

18:49

know before you know it I'm gonna send

18:50

you back right okay so

18:53

faster you scored me one hey part of the

18:56

ministry is reproof rebuke

18:59

because I love you man I love you

19:02

amen I want you to keep on hearing you

19:05

wasn't there right when Jesus appeared

19:12

again he by the way he didn't appear he

19:15

wasn't there and he became an

19:16

unbelieving believer

19:17

he says unless I see the print in his

19:19

hands

19:20

I won't believe

19:22

right

19:23

and Jesus appeared next Sunday just for

19:25

Thomas also

19:27

19:29

difference and yo by the way you are

19:31

19:58

if your name is Thomas my apologies okay

20:01

20:04

it says that for which some have strayed

20:07

from the faith in their greediness and

20:09

greed is the problem and Pierce

20:11

themselves true with many Sorrows it's

20:14

20:15

Money many Sorrows is coming your way is

20:18

there an arrow you be pierced with many

20:19

Sorrows this is the Bible says all right

20:22

so money is a tool

20:24

it's a servant it's not a master

20:27

Jesus is the master

20:29

but having said that you don't throw

20:30

your money and say Ambani is the root of

20:32

all evil a lot of people money is the

20:33

rule of all evil hey rate your Bible uh

20:36

read your Bible amen it does not say

20:39

that

20:40

amen

20:42

well the Bible says it's hard for rich

20:44

people to enter the kingdom of God

20:45

really

20:47

really

20:48

well the disciples thought that's what

20:49

he said then Jesus clarified look at

20:52

this Jesus looked around or not around

20:54

his disciples how hard is for those who

20:55

have reached us to enter the kingdom of

20:57

God the disciples were astonish at his

20:59

words you know why they astonish they

21:00

must be quite rich

21:02

they have a fishing business

21:04

they have partners

21:06

remember Peter had Partners they have

21:09

Partners in their fishing business when

21:11

Jesus is hard for rich people to enter

21:12

you know having them they were

21:14

astonished they say yeah amen

21:19

they were astonished why were they

21:21

astonished they must be quite okay there

21:24

financially then Jesus knew that they

21:26

misunderstand and Jesus

21:28

explained again watch this is very

21:31

important he says Jesus answered again

21:34

and said to them children how hard it is

21:37

for those who trust in riches

21:41

not ghost in God

21:43

those who trust in riches to enter the

21:45

kingdom of God

21:47

like I said can you have the love of

21:49

money with no money in your pocket is it

21:51

possible can someone with no money

21:55

love money yeah every time they think

21:58

money money I wish I had more money I

22:01

can't do that like or no money all right

22:03

who is your God your God tells you go

22:04

here I go no manila so money is your God

22:07

because your money says no stay

22:09

because he has to go no money

22:12

amen I can't do that why God says do

22:13

that no I can't do that why no money

22:16

so he said who is your god

22:19

it's the one you obey

22:21

so you can see how the devil can bring

22:23

in lack of money right

22:25

Listen People

22:27

to control you

22:29

so we're not controlled by money like

22:31

this beautiful picture in in Deuteronomy

22:33

28 the blessings are behind

22:36

their parity is always behind they come

22:37

on you and overtake you but you are

22:39

focusing on Jesus

22:42

amen amen uh gold Frankenstein still

22:45

follow Jesus

22:47

they still follow Jesus amen go after

22:50

Jesus

22:51

praise the Lord Pastor you mentioned go

22:53

go is no good you know there's a Bible

22:56

principle called The Law of first

22:58

mention

22:59

all right the law of first mentioned it

23:01

means every time a subject is mentioned

23:03

for the first time there's something

23:04

significant

23:05

which I know any goal was mentioned

23:08

in Genesis chapter 2 it says a river

23:11

went out of Eden to water the garden

23:13

became from there for riverheads the

23:15

name of the first is pishon it is the

23:17

one which cuts the whole land of havilah

23:19

where there is gold um some of you might

23:22

be might be intrigued to know that

23:24

Josephus the Jewish historian says he

23:26

believes fishon is the river induced or

23:29

genius genius River now there's a lot of

23:32

opinions okay about this okay I'm just

23:34

telling you what Josephus belief the

23:36

name of the first is pishon but now the

23:38

Earth is divided so that all the

23:39

geographies change so one of the rivers

23:42

called bishon it is the one which cuts

23:44

the whole land of havilah where there is

23:45

gold

23:47

and the goal of that land is good

23:50

so the first mention of goal

23:52

is

23:54

good

23:55

just reading the Bible folks I'm just

23:57

reading the Bible

23:59

there must be a purpose why God see

24:01

again you're like money it is not gold

24:03

that's wrong if God is wrong goal is

24:06

evil God did wrong can I say that

24:09

because God put the goal

24:13

hey

24:15

God put the goal here right

24:19

who put a goal here my auntie she got

24:22

plenty of gold no God put the goal here

24:24

and the first mention a goal is good

24:27

right now because of time I have to

24:30

close with this I I need you to see this

24:32

this is very important

24:34

okay

24:35

is did Jesus Take The Curse of poverty

24:38

on himself on our behalf at the cross

24:41

so that verse you all know and some

24:43

people here are well establishing it but

24:45

you look at Second Corinthians chapter 8

24:48

verse nine you know the grace of our

24:49

Lord Jesus Christ that though he was

24:51

rich yet for your sakes he became poor

24:54

that you through his poverty might

24:56

become rich

24:59

right

25:00

so here Standalone you can you can say

25:03

oh spiritually Rich spiritually poor you

25:05

can say you can say that way

25:08

and who is there to argue

25:10

but everything must be translated in

25:12

context

25:14

remember what we said about uh how to

25:16

study the Bible must be translated in

25:19

context this is talking about physically

25:22

even physically he was destitute they

25:25

gambled for his clothes at the foot of

25:27

the cross one of the things he carried

25:29

for us of course first and foremost he

25:31

carried our sins praise the Lord but the

25:34

Bible also said he carried out diseases

25:36

amen himself took our infirmities and

25:39

bought our sicknesses with his stripes

25:40

we are healed but he also carried out

25:42

poverty
