(00:09):
It's just humbling that it's just, it's a privilege.
Amen. And so Amen.
So thank you. It's a blessing.

(00:35):
And I'm going to kick start withsomething very hopefully brief,
but but powerful, Amen. And I want you to follow me very
closely and follow me very closely.

(00:57):
Amen. Amen.
Wow, right? So in this year we are going to,

(01:22):
I mean two years ago we exploredChrist.
The tune for the whole year was Jesus that I am and we took time
to, you know, digest the things God give us grace to be able to.
So I did a whole teaching on that I am and we went through
from Job 6 to John 15 the seven times Jesus said I am and we

(01:46):
tried our best to, you know, explain it and all that.
But we've got a lot more I am the great was what the 1st and
it was foundational. So we dwelt a lot more there and
this year we don't understand Christ, but an aspect of Christ.
And this time he's finished work.

(02:09):
Now a lot of times we will say the finished works of Christ.
Actually it's not even the finished works is wrong to say
the finished works. It is the finished work.
It was one work he finished. And to say the finished works of
Christ is to put the finished work before him.

(02:29):
But Christ is the superior, So it is Christ.
And then they finish it, becausethere cannot be a finished work
without Christ. I with.
Me. And this is the foundation on
which we are going to run. So if you don't understand who
Christ is, you struggle to understand what he has
accomplished. You know, and a lot of

(02:51):
Christians don't, a lot of patients are not living in the
lights of what Christ has done because they don't know who
Christ is and they don't know what he has done.
And, and, and sometimes I, I also believe that the reason why
we are able to appreciate the finished work is because we
don't understand the extent to which we have fallen.

(03:14):
You know, that people say, look,I've not done this before.
I've not done that before since my mother gave birth to me.
I've not told a lie before, but well, clap, clap for such
people, clap for such people. They've done well.
They've done well. Amen.
But that's not the reason why Jesus came.
And I'm going to show you a couple of scriptures, You know

(03:34):
why Jesus came and you would, you would appreciate it.
Because if Jesus, you know, cameto give us cars and houses, I
feel like it would have been useless for him to come.
Because there's some of your friends who are not born again,
No speaking in tongues, No, but he's driving a Tundra in level
200. A Tundra.

(03:56):
All right, You know, so some of the things we have said are
demonstrations of God's love is actually not.
We point to fleeting things, cars, houses, scholarships and
go like. That's why God loves me.
You're a liar. You don't even understand the

(04:16):
foundation of God's love. So right believing is very
pivotal to enjoying this Christian life.
If you can't believe right, you're going to have a problem.
If you can't, If you can't accept and understand what Jesus
has done and believe from the Scriptures, you will not even

(04:37):
live right. Many times we tell people, you
know you've got to live right. You've got to live right.
But right believing comes beforeright living.
Someone who has not believed well cannot live well.
And that's why there are so manydistortions in the gender of our
generation, too many discussion,because people don't understand

(05:00):
what it means to be a man and what it means to be a woman.
So there are distortions. Queer, indecisive.
OK, because you don't understand.
There's no understanding as to why God created only two.
And you see, The funny thing is that if you want to have

(05:22):
discussions, create a new one, but you want to change one of
the two God made to suit you. This is what they didn't get
what I was trying to say. Oh, no, sit down.
We are now starting. We are now starting.
Be disciplined. Can't you see how I'm talking
calmly? I'm disciplined, Amen.

(05:45):
So right believing, right believing.
If you can't believe right, you will enjoy your Christian life.
In Matthew chapter 8, verse 13, a man came to Jesus.
You know, the centurion came to Jesus and I wanted to see what
the conversation that they had in Matthew chapter 8, verse 13.

(06:06):
Matthew chapter 8, verse 13. Are we there?
Can you help us? Let each other. 8 verse 18 and
Jesus said unto the centurion, go thy way.
I I think we should go up a little bit more so that it gives
context to the reading. So let's go to like verse 8, 2

(06:31):
verses up. Let's go 2 verses up, one verse
up, one verse up. And when Jesus was entered into
Capenao, that came unto him a centurion beseeching him and
saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home.

(06:56):
I want you to pay attention to this.
It means that the time the centurion is coming to talk to
Jesus, his servant who was sick,was not with him.
You know. Sometimes I wonder why the Bible
acts. I mean, he could have just said,
and he came saying, My Lord, my servant is at home sick.
I could have just said, Lord, myservant is sick.
But he told him that my servant is at home sick.

(07:18):
So that the miracle will be veryprofound.
Are you with me, Says my servant, Life at home sick of
the palsy, grievously tormented the servant.
And Jesus said unto him, I will.Come and heal him.
Now think about it. You have met Jesus, worker of
miracles, leader of the crusade.Feed out of 5000 in Centennial

(07:45):
cupon like turning water into wine Jesus and he said that I
will come to your house and healyour servant.
You know the guy's answer next this the Centennial answered and
said Lord, I am not worthy that you should come to my under my
roof, but speak a word only and my servant to be healed.
The guy had faith. He said, don't come to my house.

(08:09):
It's like in today's, you know, generation when you are sick,
you want your man of God to cometo the house.
You feel like the prayer over the phone was not powerful
enough. But the prayer over the phone
and the prayer when you see me is 1 God who is going to answer
All in all. So if you can't believe prayer
on the phone, you may not even believe prayer in person.

(08:31):
And that's why people watch. For example, someone will be
online, say, where is this church?
I'd like to visit them when he'saway.
He feels like the chance. Powerful.
The way he comes across. His attitude changes.
Someone has started dozing already this year.

(08:57):
We are not. We shall mention your name.
Yeah, sit down. Let me finish, Let me finish.
He says only speak a word. Only speak a word is the way you
speak the word. I believe that there's power
enough in your word that will heal my servants.
And look at what the man said. Continue.
I really want to touch on this. He says, for I am a man under

(09:18):
authority, having soldiers underme.
So the guy understood the place of authority because he was
under 1. He said that the reason why I
can tell people under me go and they go and come and they come
is because I myself am a man under authority.
You cannot exert authority if you are not under one.
That's why it's dangerous to sayyou don't need a pastor, you

(09:40):
don't need a man of God, you don't need anybody to help you
in this Christian work. You are.
You are an Ankonam rebel. You don't need anybody.
That's why you realize that things don't work for.
A lot of Christians, even Jesus when he came, said I'm working
because I've seen that my fatheris working in John chapter 5.
So the man understood. He says I am under authority and

(10:01):
because I'm under authority, I'mable to exert authority, but
this is not my focus. Next this and Jesus, when he had
it, he marvelled just go like wow, this is not doctor
stranger. This is Marvel like wow, he.
Marvelled and said unto them That followed.
Verily, I say unto you, I have not found.

(10:21):
So great faith. No, not in Israel next this.
And I saw to you that many shallcome from east and West, and
shall sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the Kingdom
of heaven. Verse 12 But the children of the
Kingdom shall be cast out into out to darkness.
They shall be whipping a national thief.
Verse 18 Now says, And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go your
way, as you have believed, so beit done unto thee.

(10:46):
So Jesus is saying that the miracle was possible for the
centurion because he believed. So that's why I started by
saying that. When you can believe, right?
You will have. Right experiences where you can
believe that God loves you. Your experience in your
Christian journey will be right when you can believe that you
are being forgiven. Oh my, Oh my.

(11:08):
When I say I told you that if weunderstand the depth of our sin
and what it meant for us to be estranged and strangers of the
Commonwealth and and you know, not in covenant with God and and
and we were not children of God.If we understand those things,
anytime you hear this song, Amazing Grace House with the
sound, you add a line to it thatsave indeed a Wretch because you

(11:34):
don't understand what Christ hassaved you from.
You don't see your you. You can't even appreciate your
salvation because there's no context to your believing of
what He has done for you. I don't know if I'm preaching to
the right people. So he said that if you can't
believe, he says. Your servant is healed because

(11:55):
you have believed, right? And you know the very
interesting thing? The person who was sick was not
here. That's why I started by saying
that he's at home sick of a palsy.
It means this guy could so believe, right?
That you don't have to come to my house and just speak your
word. And the servant who is not even
with me to hear what you are declaring will receive his
healing right at home, right? Believing and that's a lot of

(12:22):
people don't understand why we preach God's way we.
Preach God's way so you can believe, right?
So you can believe right in Romans about how can they
believe if they have not heard? And how can they hear if there's
no preacher? It means a preacher is
responsible so you can hear, or that there must be a preacher
before you can hear. Then when you hear, you can

(12:43):
believe, Because how then shall they call on him whom they have
not believed? And how shall they believe in
whom they have not? Heard.
So if you don't hear, you can't believe.
Another day, you know the very interesting thing we want to be.
Hearing teleness and reading magazine and have faith in God.
It doesn't work like that. Google doctor you believe chats

(13:08):
GPT mother you believe the scriptures.
That's why a lot of you the moment you know if you
understand the Bible thing, you don't ask the Holy Ghost your
first go to is transgeupity. What does it mean when Jesus was
walking on the water and some ofthe pastors do it generate?
A message on faith chats will doit for you.

(13:30):
Mental AI will do it for you. But you see, the thing about it
is that our preaching must bringthe people who hear us to a
place where they can believe. And when they believe right,
they can live right. If you can believe that your
addictions are not fatal, you walk away from them.

(13:52):
If you can believe that no, it is possible to stay Pioto my
married night, my marriage night.
When you can believe it, it willbecome an experience a lot of
you don't believe. So that's what I'm saying
because. Because he's standing there.

(14:13):
I'm sure he has. He has.
He has. He's a liar.
Forget him. And you are telling the person
who invited you that guy is a liar.
What does he mean by you? It is possible, some of you
cannot believe that it is possible to pray one hour every
day. And because you have not
believed it, you struggle with how can you start praying and
not believe you can do it for one hour.

(14:34):
I'm not talking about the one that you are putting trust in
your flesh. I'm talking about the one that
you know that one hour prayer daily is a possibility.
That's what I'm talking about. Some of you cannot believe that
at age 26 you can have your first one million Ghana, you
see, because you can't believe it.

(14:56):
Sit down, sit down. I've just started.
Please, you understand what I'm saying.
Some of you do, not you. You can't see that it is
possible that by age 30 you haveresigned from every other job
and you are doing your own thingand you are working in
tremendous prosperity. Some of you can see it and all

(15:17):
your mind is I need to work for somebody and you are roaming
from company. Will you employ me?
Will you employ me? Will you employ me?
When they don't employ you, you are sad and you are crying and
you are morose and yourself foolish thing.
God has given up on me. If she has given up on you,
you'll know if you have breath to say that God has given up on
me. Once you have seen it, you will
take a hand. Then you'll be dying.

(15:39):
Go to just put your feet like a stroke and you are gone.
You must believe. Well, you must believe.
And that's why the teaching of the Scriptures is important,
because when we teach the scriptures, we give you a
mindset. Therefore, the Bible says
concerning John de Bantis that he's coming to turn the hearts

(16:01):
of the children to the wisdom ofthe just and the Word.
Wisdom is mindset. Through Nessus, you have a
certain mindset you can believe.God's way.
He's coming to turn the hearts of the children.
Look at it to the that the hearts of the children to the
fathers and the disobedience to the wisdom of the just to the

(16:24):
mindset of the just so the Biblesays in Romans chapter 12, do
not be conformed to this world. A lot of times our confirmation
to the world is a product of wrong believing, which is a
product of wrong hearing or no hearing.

(16:44):
So the whole week you will not listen to a message, you will
not listen to a message. So in six months.
You've not listened to three messages in six months.
I understand what I'm saying, he

(17:10):
says. Don't be conformed.
To this world. But be transformed, so
confirmation and transformation.It's a very interesting thing in
confirmation you are conforming or you are.
You are aligning yourself to a norm because of external
pressure. So you don't drink, but all

(17:32):
your. Friends drink, so when you are
in their midst like you want to drink, that's confirmation.
And we're telling you, a dull boy, the girl is going off
Chatham. Go ahead and say something.
Are you with me? That's confirmation.
But transformation is different.Transform.
The word transform is metamorphosis.

(17:55):
That's why you get an English metamorphosis.
And metamorphosis is also a change, but it's not an external
change. Metamorphosis starts from
within. That's why when you see a
butterfly, it can never in any universe become a Caterpillar
again. It has metamorphosed.
And the change was not external,it was internal.

(18:16):
Confirmation is external change.Transformation is internal
change, and when that internal change occurs, coming back to
what you were previously is impossible.
And you know. How he says transformation is

(18:37):
possible by the renewing of yourmind.
How do you renew your mind? You renew your mind of the
scriptures. That's how you renew your mind.
And when your mind is consistently renewed, the effect
of it is that he says. Now you'll be able to prove.
You'll be able to prove what is the good, the acceptable, and
the perfect. Will of God, person, you don't

(18:58):
know. I don't know the profits.
I have three guys and I don't know how to choose.
It's because your mind has not been renewed with the word.
That's why you can be a Christian.
And you think that, oh, but theysaid that when you are going to
marry, you have to, you know, when you are buying a car, you
test the you test the car beforeyou you buy it.

(19:22):
You know, so that is the mentality.
That's what you see. The thing about it is when you
become born again, your mind doesn't change instantly.
A lot of Christians don't know that the only change that
occurred when you became born again was in your states.
That's the only change, and it was a total, complete change.
Your mind doesn't change. Your soul doesn't change.

(19:45):
Your body doesn't change. That's what you're doing when
you became born again you. Didn't become fair.
Oh, you got a pointed nose. The way you wear is what you
wear, but the changes in your spirit, but the teaching of the
way. The fellowship of the brethren
is to help you bring. Out outwardly that thing that
has already happened within so that now your inside and your

(20:12):
outside is an isotonic. Is that correct way?
Next time don't do dondology isotonic.
It means inside, outside the same same concentration.

(20:33):
Some of those is about ISO. What ISO?
What because of the ISO? So cool and it's a product of
right believing if you can believe well, if you can believe
well, if you can believe right and what is believing right
believing along along the lines of the Scriptures.

(20:54):
What does God's word said? What does the word of what is
the word saying? I love people like my lecturer
said, my teacher said, my friendsaid, when will you say the
Bible said Aristotle once said, don't you mention that name in
your life again? Bantama Buddha once said, once

(21:20):
said, yeah, Santua gave a powerful quote or say, and that
is the content of the things that you believe.
And we wonder why our lives are not changing, because what must
cause us to believe is God's Word which produces the

(21:42):
transformation, but we are not hearing the Word.
Can I even say this? Let me dare say this is.
And I know. Many people will not agree, but
it's the truth. When people become born again
and we insist on Bible reading, they get tired faster.
When people become born again, they must be exposed to

(22:05):
listening to God's weight. That's the beginning.
Because he's going to read what?Genesis 20?
Leviticus. And they are roasting meat and
they are burning and they are pounding heads.
And he will not understand. That's the hypocrisy of the
people who say, don't listen to anybody.
You can read the Bible and know it for yourself.

(22:26):
It's not true. In Acts chapter 8, when Philip
was going, the Bible says, and the three said to me said, join
this chariot. And an Ethiopian eunuch was
reading. And Philip asked him, do you
understand what you are reading?He said, no.
He said how can I understand if there is no one to teach me?
You need somebody to teach you. That is the starting point.

(22:47):
When Jesus appeared to the two men on their way to Emmaus in
Luke chapter 24, Bible says thatand beginning from Moses and all
the prophets he expounded to them.
It means that. Jesus was teaching them how to
understand the scriptures and even Jesus, he says when he
showed up on this earth, he needed that bed save far better
mood. They were teaching practices.

(23:09):
Jesus went to learn. Someone taught him you are
higher. Than Jesus come for yourself.
You are you are higher than Jesus.
You can't feed yourself. So man 315 did not say I will
give you. I will give you to yourself to
feed yourself. So I will give you pastors and

(23:29):
the pastors responsibility. Let me say this is not to give
you money, but to feed you. That's the way you come to me
with a problem. I said to them, I said that
actually the Bible says that's the response you get actually,
because if I give you God's Word, you will know how not to
come back to this spot. But if I give you money, you'll

(23:51):
come back to that spot. So people get offended.
That's the pastor didn't get money, but my assignment says
the pastor will feed you and feeding is not just dumb.
Feeding is a. Process.
And as you grow, you'll be able to help you, you know you as you

(24:15):
keep listening, then your spiritual digestive system is
also increasing that now you caneat meat and you can eat bones.
But I was even I was thinking about something recently that
what is the meat of God's weight?
The Bible says that strong meat belongs to them.
What is that meat? A lot of you think it's esoteric

(24:37):
teachings. That the meat of the weather,
Oh, I'm born again is a simple thing.
It's milk. Why you must listen to messages.
It's milk why you must pray every day.
It's milk. But the, the decoding of the
supernatural forces of darkness as revealed in the cosmocratic

(24:57):
post said they are like, that's my message.
These are the things I like. But that's not that's not what
the Bible means by meat of the wet.
I don't think so. I don't think so when I give
someone a funny. List I said right now you are
you don't live on milk might want to do masking right now you

(25:18):
blend it with milk. It means the milk of the word
and the meat of the word is the same essential this thing, but
God just shows you different aspects of it that you will not
appreciate it as a child. It doesn't mean God is coming to
show you some no no. No, no, no, no.
No, that's when the Bible was sealed.
Like the camel, like this dying.Every revelation has ended.

(25:42):
Every revelation you hear peoplesay, the Lord give me a new
revelation. The word new doesn't mean that
it the word new means that it isnew to you.
You are now. Seeing it have.
You ever had a vision? Or no, not even a vision.
Let's stay in the context of theword.
You were reading something. It blessed you.
Then you went to see a Christianbrother and he says, oh, this
powerful, the Lord showed me this two weeks ago or two years

(26:04):
ago and. You were like, I'm now seeing
it. It's the same word of God.
But you are now seeing it. It doesn't mean it is new in the
sense that it is now appearing. And many people who chase those
things end up in miniature laws.Miniature.
A lot of you have itching ears. You want to hear how Bantam

(26:26):
Buddha, they said Jesus went to Egypt to go and marry and
divorce? Then you're like and you have
carried it and you have you havegone for Evangeliso when him
searches. That's called Egypt.
It's nonsense. Stay in the way.
There's 66 books. You've never finished it before.
You are reading Tobit Maccabees.I don't understand them.

(26:52):
Book of Enoch is what is the is the.
Age of our generation. You break your ribs.
You break your ribs. So the more we are staying in
the world. The more we can believe well,
can I even say this one? A lot of you don't believe God
loves you. A lot of you don't believe that

(27:17):
God loves you. See how you are quiet?
A lot of you struggle. You know God loves you, but you
don't believe. That's what John said this is
for we have known and believed. Knowing God loves you is not
enough. You must believe it.
And I like the way he says in First John 4.

(27:37):
Can I show it to us? Hala Mara, Mama.
First John 4. I don't live on 1st John 416.
Can we all read together? 1 to go for we have what?
Come on. Oh, pitch with me.

(27:58):
Come on. We have what?
And it means knowing precedes believing.
You can't believe what you don'tknow.
Can I give you a typical example?
When you were growing up very innocent and you didn't know
anything like ghost, You don't know anything like ghost.

(28:20):
You live freely and carelessly. Like you can be in your room
alone. The lights are off.
Then one day someone told you that there's something called
ghost ghost and and people don'tknow that every kind of fear you
have in life is rooted in one simple principle.

(28:43):
You don't know God's love. You know the Bible says the
Bible says that perfect love casts out fear.
It's the same first one for 18. The last one show just there is
No Fear in love, but perfect. Love.
Now this perfect love is God's love.

(29:04):
My love for you can never be perfect.
Your love for me, let me also twist it around.
Your love for me can never be perfect.
It is only God's love that is perfect love.
He says in this kind of love there is No Fear.
And look at what perfect love isdoing.
He says perfect love, it will cast out fear.

(29:26):
You know the word cast out to dismiss with vehemence.
What's the word is the same wordof the Bible saying Jesus casted
out demons from people. That word cast is the same word
cast for first John 418 same word.
I know the word fear Phobos and that's why you get the English

(29:48):
word phobia. So fear of belly button, fear of
lizards, fear that you will not marry at the right time, fear
that you will not get a scholarship.
He's saying that. When you understand the Father's
perfect love, what it does to you is that every kind of fear
of every sort from where it comes from, it will be casted

(30:11):
out of your heart with all vehemence.
So you can't. Be afraid.
And that is what now makes the scripture true.
The righteous as bold as a lion.Nothing scares you anymore.
You lose a job, you're not afraid.
Someone threatens you. You're not afraid.
Come and threaten me. We shall see.
We shall die. You come.

(30:32):
Come and try it. Come.
I'm not afraid because I understand how much I'm loved.
And because I understand how much I'm loved.
I live life. The boldness.
I'm not afraid. I'm not afraid.
So if you can stay in the room alone, you are afraid.

(30:57):
You are afraid. Can I even add this one?
You are afraid that your mistakes will deny you where God
is taking you. It is a fear that must be casted
out of your heart, and the only thing that can cast out this
kind of fear is in stain. In the Father's lamb, when you
understand how much he loves you, you know that look.
Yes, we made mistakes, but we have an uncle and this uncle

(31:22):
keeps the soul. It is steadfast.
He should have just left it as steadfast by saying it is
steadfast and it is sure. Look what you understand God's
wedding like. You'll be a young person, but
you'll be so bold. People are complaining right
now. They don't like state in cities

(31:42):
and I think 14 persons I don't know.
You will not be afraid because you know that your forex.
Will not destroy you are so confident in the Master's love
because Jesus knew how much the Father loved me himself said it
because he knew how much the father in John 17 he said it
said love them like the way you have loved me and let's make
make them one just as we are one.

(32:03):
So Jesus knew how much the father loved him.
So when they were sitting in theboat on their way to the to
Gadara and there was a storm. He was asleep.
They are just finished a crusadeor whatever came to sit in the
boat. The man was, are you telling me
he didn't hear the storms? Bible says that the storms was
boisterous so he didn't hear thestorm and before they left, you

(32:31):
told them we are going to the other side.
The Bible says he went to the lower part of the ship asleep on
a pillow like the guy was asleep.
Go to verse 36. I want to show you something.
And when they had set. Away the multitude they took him
even as he was in the ship, and there was also other little
ships. 7 And there arose a greatstorm of wind, and the waves

(32:55):
beat into the ship. It means the water was.
Entering the ship so that it wasnow full.
It means he was sleeping water. I'm not the one saying it.
Oh my God, give us passion translation, He says.
Suddenly as they were crossing the lake, a ferocious Tempest

(33:15):
arose with violence, winds and winds that were crashing into
the boat until it was all but swamped.
It means the boat as it was there was full of water and
Bible says Jesus was at the lower part and if this boat is
going to get full it will start from the top.
So it means Jesus was sleeping in the water.

(33:39):
Why? He said we are going to the
other side and because he knows that nothing will prevent them
from arriving at the other side.So it means that if it was Jesus
alone in the boat, he will not silence the storm.
He silenced the storm because ofthe disciples.
They could not believe his word that we go to the other side.

(34:01):
What has God told you that you own that business?
Come Maloba, don't look at how much is in the account.
When you look at it, you'll be discouraged.
What has he told you? That you will get a scholarship?
Don't don't look at the visa consulates standing in the tip.
He will intimidate you and you know the address of where you're
going, but you start from there.I'm going to Mammobi because you

(34:22):
are afraid he intimidated you. You are standing in front of the
US visa course that you are talking about Mammobi, but I'm
going to 13 HY Mammobi High Road, he said.

(34:46):
We are going to the other side and.
When they came in Mark's account, they were rebuking
Jesus. Verse 38, he said, Don't you
care that we are perishing? But Jesus was sleeping.
I don't like this. I don't like what he says.
But Jesus was calmly I don't like it Storm swamped boats and

(35:08):
he was calmly sleeping and resting on a cushion.
This year you will rest in God'slaugh.
I said this year you will rest in God's laugh.
A certain confidence will enter your heart.
Every fear will be casted out. My God, resting on a cushion

(35:31):
next verse. So they shook him.
Hey teacher, don't you even care?
Of course he didn't. If he was caring, he would not
be sleeping. He would have gotten out of the
water and say hey, be still since don't you care that we are
about to die. Then fully awake, he rebuilt the

(35:52):
storm and shouted to the sea, Hush, calm down.
All at once the wind stopped howling and the water became
perfectly calm. Then what?
Did Jesus do afterwards? Next days.
Then he returned. To his disciples and said, why
are you so afraid having to learn to trust then what did you
do after next one, but they wereoverwhelmed with.
Fear. They were overwhelmed with fear

(36:14):
and all, and said one to another, who is this man who has
such authority that even they went to obey him?
Verse 42, That's the last one. That's the last one.
Then they arrived at the other side.
Chapter 4. He told them we were going to
the other side. Then after you silenced the
storm and did all that, the Bible says that you are the

(36:37):
other side. So you see, the thing about it
is that Jesus can be in your life, but there will still be
storms. That gospel that tells you that
when you come to Jesus, you willnot go through anything.
And the day you come to Jesus, I'm telling you unnecessarily
that all your problems will be easy.
Lie. Sometimes when the people are
coming, let's tell them the truth at the beginning.

(36:59):
You know the Bible says many arethe afflictions, not of the
unrighteous, but the righteous. Are you righteous?
Many are you afflictions. Jesus said in this world you
shall have tribulation. But you know he always gives us
the assurance. Many are the afflictions of the
righteous, but the Lord delivershim out of them all.

(37:22):
In this world you shall have tribulations, many tribulations,
But rejoice, you have overcome the world.
There's always an assurance. I know a song has come to your
head, but don't sing it in the church.
There's always an assurance. Tell your neighbor believe

(37:45):
right. Tell your neighbor believe God
loves you. Believe God loves you.
He says we have. Known and believed.
We have known and believed theirlove, their love.
I love it, I love it. We have known and believed the
love that God has to us. God is love, and he that

(38:07):
dwelleth in love dwelleth in. God wow God is love.
The verse 17 says words here in is love made perfect, that we
might have boldness. Parasia in the day of judgment

(38:32):
as he is, so are we my God. It means that they will stand
before God. We will not come crawling.
We will not come afraid. We'll come boldly.
Boldly. No.
The Bible says that we have boldness, we have access.

(38:54):
Put the efficiency chapter 3, efficiency 3, efficiency 30.
We have boldness with confidenceand we're fishing 336 or
something. 312 in whom we have boldness and access with

(39:19):
confidence by the faith of him. Go to verse 10 my God, verse 11
says according to the eternal gospel, which he purpose in

(39:41):
Christ Jesus our Lord. Verse 12 in whom?
It means that in whom is in relation to whom?
Christ Jesus. So in Christ Jesus we have
boldness. Know what boldness means?
Boldness and confidence are not the same, else you will not
separate the 2. Boldness means I come and I'm

(40:02):
not afraid. Confidence means I come with no
sense of guilt or condemnation. I'm confident.
It's like you've done your assignment and you didn't copy
and you know that we're going toscore 3030.
What? You're going to present it to
the lecture? You say you are going to
present. You are going to write an exam
and you know you learned the apple that came.

(40:24):
You know you learned the apple. Do you enter the exam?
How do we? Hey, hey, hey.
We don't know what to come. Oh, hey, What's it?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Because you knew that the the
source from which you got the apple.
It says you knew the apple. True.
I bet you knew it so the moment you suck behind the paper.

(40:49):
Some of you don't even read the questions.
You saw, you saw cram the apple that in the apple it was 470.30,
but this time they made it 470.35.
But because you were so confident in your apostles, you
didn't. That's the confidence he said
you can come to Jesus with. So because of Jesus, when we are

(41:12):
coming to God, we are bored. Both means we come and we are
not afraid. You're just coming.
Heads up, chin up. Confidence means when I'm
coming, I'm not. I'm not he.
Will he accept me? I sent yesterday.
I, I lost my temper this morning.
I, I, I, I was in the boat and the driver just annoyed me and
I, I gave him a piece of my mind.

(41:34):
Oh, mine is what, 1 money piecesI swat.
But that's not it. He's saying that we in Jesus, we
can come boldly. And we have access, access.
If I had a little boy and I'm preaching and he runs to me from
the back, I will carry him. It's called Access.

(41:59):
It's called Access. Your father didn't give you
access. There were too many protocols.
I'm not saying children should be indisciplined, no, but you
know that when a child is confident in how much his father

(42:19):
loves him, he will be more disciplined.
That's what you hear some children saying that I don't
want to disgrace my father. He will not bomb his courses
because he understand how much his father loves him and his
invest. Some of you, you don't think

(42:42):
that's why you're wasting your parents money.
Can I give you an advice? You see the way your parents
tell you if you're not in the washroom, turn off the lights
and you'll be complaining when you start buying the prepaid.
You will learn things when you start buying the prepaid.
One time in my house I had to call a meeting and I said if you

(43:02):
are not in the washroom the lights must go off because it is
on. Giving lights to who?
The toilet seats and the towels.It must go off when you're
growing up, your mother says. In this house we don't waste
food. I like mummy crap.
Why? And when you eat, you have to
leave some when you start paying.

(43:25):
Oh Balem. Or play technical.
Nothing must go waste. Some of you will not even use
water to wash your plates when you're coming to eat.
You will put rubber on it and put the food on it.
So the moment you're done, you wrap.
You just stick the rubber and put the plates back.
Because we are wasting water. Lazy boy.

(43:49):
But the thing about it is. When we come to understand how
much we are loved, that's the solution to all our problems.
That God desires you. You know, Songs of songs chapter
2 verse 14 says something very interesting.
Songs of Song 214. I was saying committee and about
media starting, he says Oh my dove, Oh my dove.

(44:11):
Do you know who is talking here?Not the woman.
The woman represents the church.The man represents Christ.
Songs of Songs is a book that typifies the relationship that
exists between Christ and the Church.
It is not Anastasia and Octavio.Don't, don't do that.
It is not for writing letters. There's some guys when they want

(44:33):
to run a lady, they go to songs of songs.
Tell your neighbor, Oh my dad, he says, oh, my dad, that acts
in the clefts of the rock. Now this clefts of the rock.
Oh my God. Oh my God, it's a tight slapping

(45:07):
message. When you become a point man will
be good. You understand our jokes.
Amen. It says, Oh my God, you, that
you are in the clefts of the rock in the secret places of the
States. Let me see your countenance.
This is the the man Christ telling his church or his bride.

(45:34):
So I want to. See your face?
That's how much God desires you.So I want to see your face.
I want to see says, Oh my dove, Oh my, he calls you my dove.
Don't worry, 'cause you my dove.Because of the nature of the
dove. The dove is an is an animal that
doesn't scavenge. It doesn't eat dead things.

(45:57):
Dove #2 this dove. It is not promiscuous.
The dove is not like the the fowl in your house.
That's no, no, no, no, no, no doves.
I don't know. I don't know why I read this,
but when the mate of a dove dies, it remains.

(46:20):
Single to Lotto dies and God calls you a.
Dove. But you are Quan, Quan Liberty,
You are not a dove. Let me say to opposition, you
are a dove. But in your experience you do.
You know this, but it's called Oplay.

(46:41):
How many of you know O play? It's a small black dead.
It's a Grenville. You are O play.
The next thing you must understand about this dove is
that when the the eyes of the dove functions in such a way
that it cannot look at two things at the same time.

(47:02):
So if the dove is looking at this wonderful gentleman sitting
here, every other thing is bled Eyes for only you.
That's what it means. So he said that you are my dove.
It means God you if he's describing you, that you have
eyes for only me. Then he says because you are my

(47:24):
dad, he says come, I want to seeyou peace.
God desires you God he loves you.
Those who he said if you come tome, he said he shall in no wise
cast out. He will not cast you away.
We've heard too much. You know.
Frank Edwards preached a messagetitled oh come on an an angry

(47:47):
God. I'm trying to remember the title
of the man in the hands of an angry God.
Hi, please precious people be holding their seats because it
was almost. Like you were descending into
hell like it was it was serious.And that man was so anointed.
He had an eye problem. So he read his preaching notes

(48:09):
and this is how he was so close to his notes and people were
afraid. That was powerful.
But you see, God is not arrogantat you first.
John 14. Here in his love, not that we
love God, but that he loved us, and he sent his Son to be the

(48:35):
wrath. Absorbing the word proposition
means to absorb anger. So he's saying that when God
sends Jesus, Jesus became the means by which the anger God
once had was fully absorbed. So God doesn't have any anger
again. Is a lie he said in his word and

(49:04):
their sins and their transgressions.
I will remember no more. So how is the God who said he
will not remember again being the one recording your sin?
Look, He has the universe to run.
He doesn't have to record your sin.
And that's that is a that that is the foundation of a lot of

(49:27):
us, our Christian experience that God is an angry God.
God is mad at you. He will finish you one time.
And because of that, we couldn'tcome to God.
We couldn't access God in confidence to boldness the way
you understand the love of God it to fumigate your heart of

(49:51):
every kind fear to fumigate yourheart.
He said Jesus became the wrath absorbing propitiation.
Bible says that he has he's our peace in Ephesians chapter 2 who
has broken down the middle wall of separation.

(50:15):
So if he's our peace. What?
Why has he become our peace? It means there was something
that was making me and him not be at peace.
Please, our peace. Can you try a shofter version?
Shofter. The Messiah has made things up
between us so that we are now together on this.

(50:37):
Chairman Perry, my passion. OK, let's do amplify.
Classic. For He is himself our peace, our
bond of unity. Jesus is our bond of unity and
harmony. He has made both Jew and gentle
one body, and has broken down, abolished, destroyed the hostile
dividing war between US. And what is the specific to make

(51:01):
of the two? So after Christmas orders, he
made the two one man. And then he says, look at it,
that he from the tomb might create in himself one human, one
quality of humanity out of the two soul making peace.
So we were once aliens. If you go to Ephesians 2, verse
one, ephesians #2 verse one, I'mnot.
I didn't write the Bible. If I wrote the Bible, I'm not

(51:22):
sure I've done good writing. This is.
And you were made alive. You were once dead in your
trespasses and your sins. It means what made what held you
like a coffin hold a dead body, What held you dead or sin.
That's I told you, if you understand what Jesus did, you

(51:43):
will preach like you'll be like,wow, sometimes you just wake up
in the morning and stand in yourroom and say why do you love me
so much? How did someone say to me say
pastor, pastor, I'm animating the person's text.
Suppose I've lived three months without sex.

(52:05):
I said this you're most you willfollow and I said go back and
feed more on his love. That's what's up.
It's been 6 months. Then you are you are condemning
other people who are still fornicating.
You are still fornicating. Oh, something is about to

(52:28):
happen. Six months and when you for it
to be a Humpty Dumpty fall and that's usually the prayer
purpose when before they usuallycan't forgive themselves.
Then it also reveals the pride in their hearts that me how can
me I fail prayer Papa yes you fail because you were not
depending on God. You are not leaning in his love.

(52:52):
No leaning in his love. I'm the one preaching so look at
me is that why it's not true He says he has made us alive.
Verse 2. Verse 2.
There's 2IN which at one time you worked habitually.
It means sin was your habit. You worked in sin not once a

(53:14):
while habitually you were following the course in the
fashion of this world of the fashion of this world were under
the sway and the. Tendency of this present age
following the Prince of the Power you were obedient to and
under the control of the demon spirit that still constantly
works in the sense of disobedience.
Now this sense of disobedience are not someone who you give an

(53:36):
instruction that's not to be thedisobedience.
Remember John about to say he was bringing the disobedience to
the wisdom of the just so this disobedience is not they say do
something you don't do it is someone who doesn't know God.
He says this spirit is carelessly the rebellious and
unbelieving. You see it, He has qualified

(53:57):
that the disobedience are the unbelieving who go against the
purpose of God. So we were going against the
purpose of God and Jesus said, look, in fact God said like I'm
going to do something. He said it before you lay the
foundations of the earth. So the death of Jesus was not a
reaction from God that Satan fell.

(54:20):
So God had to do something in the heart of God.
Jesus had already been crucified.
So now when we look at all this,say Collins, what is the
demonstration of cross life? You know, sometimes I have

(54:41):
conversations, if you can ask them, like I said at the
beginning, what shows that God loves you?
And their answers are usually heartbreaking and heartbreaking.
They point to material things that train chain.

(55:06):
So let's let's analyze this. What is the proof that God loves
you? Oh.
I'm an American. What then?
We, the Ghanaians and those fromCongo, those from Djibouti, what
should they say those in Lesotho?

(55:28):
How many of you understand what I'm saying?
Why do you think what proves that God loves you?
Oh, my father is a prominent person.
My father is the CEO of NS Chemist.
And so it is not the evidence ofGod's love.
It is not the demonstration of God's love.
Those things are powerful. But anytime we point to fleeting

(55:51):
material possessions as the evidence of God's love, we
reduce the potency of His love. You can't say because you have a
car God loves you. Then those who don't have a car.
You can't say because of your doctor, Hey media, God loves
you. Hey, I'm a doctor.
God loves the doctor as much as he loves the patient.

(56:15):
So then there must be a common denominator that makes all of
us, irrespective of our tribe, our race, our profession, our
color, our background, our language, our our favorite food.
There must be a there must be a ground by which one we all come
to. We can say that because of this

(56:36):
God loves me. Then the other person also says,
because of this God loves me. What is the answer?
First John 14. First John 14.
He says here in his love, not that we love God, but that he
loved us. And how did he demonstrate his
love? He sent his son.
So the sending of Jesus is the absolute demonstration of God's

(57:00):
love. You can't point to a car, you
can't point to a house, you can't point to a spouse, that
girlfriend that you have fornicated with.
You think that that fornication is the evidence of God's love.
You can't even say it's your jobbecause you know you are
cheating at at work. You are adding zeros, so the

(57:22):
common denominator. That makes me some more.
Could see Chelsea. Rush stand on the same grounds
so that you see, the absoluteness of God's love is
what does not make. Room.
For partialities that God is taking sides, that when someone
says something to that the Americans are God's brothers and

(57:42):
the Ghanaians and the black people are God's.
Servants. Or say or say Brony and Aminia
Bibini and Amiyakua. That is the sound of
foolishness. And some of you, those are the
things you say. And As for the blacks, we are
cursed because of Ham, what Ham did.

(58:04):
But in Christ Jesus, Bible says that Christ became a case.
So even if we were cursed, Christ became the embodiment of
the case and you are still your fellow in class.
I said because you're a black man, are you normal?
Are you normal? Be believed That what we are
saying. Look, anytime people say those

(58:28):
things, tell them you've not metme yet.
My God, they've not met you yet.That's why they think that some
black people who are not correctwhen they meet to do change that
narrative. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's why you must plunge yourself.
You must plunge the word of God deep into your heart.

(58:49):
When you meet me, your life willchange.
It's a mindset. It's a mindset.
It says here in, here in. I like the word here in, here in
means that this is where the love is.
This is where the love is here in.
But you know. I've been pretty first John 14.
But today I went a verse up. You see the way I did app so

(59:11):
there's 9 action app. In this was manifested the love
of God. I was asked because he sent.
So we can also read it like thisbecause that God sent his only
begotten Son into the world thatwe might live through him.
This was manifested or this was the manifestation?

(59:32):
Of the love of God. It means Jesus is the complete
totality, absolute demonstrationof God's love.
Outside Jesus, we can't use any other thing to describe God's
love. So you can have a car and I'll

(59:55):
be using St. Airways or leg bends or.
Lexus. Lexus.
But if we both are born again, you know the interesting thing.
Our born again experience is theequalizer.
No partiality then in the absoluteness of the

(01:00:16):
demonstration of God's love. There's no conditionalities that
God will say because you did this I love you, or because you
didn't do this, I love you. No, in the absoluteness of His
love, whether we did something, we did not do anything.
He loved us. If His love is called an eternal
love. Eternal means that before you

(01:00:38):
were born He loved you. You would die and go.
No, not now. You are going nowhere.
God is about to bless you. You must, you must blow in this
world. Yeah, the world will hear of
you. Or be professional.
You know, anyways, what he says to 1.
He says to all the world to hearof you.

(01:00:59):
I said the world to hear of you,your business.
You will ship. You will ship your products.
You see, they don't believe me anyways.
So now let's look at the absoluteness of His love.
So that's why. So condition means that

(01:01:21):
condition means that whether I pray or I don't pray, He loves
me. Do you, do you see that your
league, your legalist mentality,that you sense God's love more
when you have prayed enough? Do you know God called Jesus my
beloved son in two significant sports in Jordan and in Hammond,

(01:01:44):
One is the highest peak, one is the lowest point.
And in those two instances, God called Jesus my beloved.
It means in the highest he was. In the lowest is not how you are
praying, you know. Oh, I wish you would.
Understand that that transactionwe are trying to play with God

(01:02:05):
that if I. Stay holy, God will love me.
No, He has loved you with an ever Gemathers 1 restrict.
They don't believe me. Gemathers 1/3 Gemathers 1/3
Gemathers 1/3. The Lord had appeared of all
time on to me, saying, I have loved you with an everlasting,
Everlasting and eternal and the same, but with a slight
difference. Everlasting is without beginning

(01:02:28):
without end. Eternal is with beginning
without end. That's why the angels are not
called eternal. They are called, they are not
called everlasting, they are called eternal.
Praise God. It means, as I was saying to

(01:02:49):
Sofia, before you became a clot of blood in your mother's womb,
He had loved you. So if he can call you in the
mother's room, then he can love you in the mother's room if he
didn't call him, he said before he became a.
Clot of blood. Before he means before the
accent took place, that you clotted, before your father ever

(01:03:10):
thought of my friend. So he has loved you.
And of course, if Christ tarries, some of us will die.
18120 300 you'll still go shouldcry starry.
What it means is that if you check out of the body, His love

(01:03:32):
will still be enduring. He will still love you.
That's everlasting. No beginning, no end, it's
eternal, it's eternal. He says this is the love here He
is the love. Go back to Ephesians 4-5.

(01:03:53):
Let's finish it. In this was manifested the love
of God towards us, because the God sent His only.
So they're sending I'm I you understand what I'm preaching.
How do you realize that the things we are pointing to as the
indices of God's love, it was not it at all.
It's not. It it's not it that you live at

(01:04:14):
Chasaku, the one who lives at Bukwa, Shy Beta, the way God
loves you, you see, you see, Andthis is the conditionality.
Although you live in a high end area, you didn't do anything for
Jesus to die. In the same way.
The one who lives in Bugashi, hedidn't do anything for just
that. So there's no condition.

(01:04:34):
There's no condition. It defeats that mentality.
So there's no partiality. God is not taking size.
You are, you are a rich person, you are poor.
God is not taking size. You are American, you are
Ghanaian, no. No, no, no, no, no, no.
No, no, no. No, no, no conditionalities, no
partialities. You know the next one in the
absoluteness of God's love. There's no deficiency.

(01:04:54):
There's nothing like God has so loved Loretta.
When they go to your tent, the love has finished.
There's nothing like that. God's love cannot run.
Shorts so that you go to a supermarket and you are looking
for a product and so we are out of stock.
There is nothing like out of stock when it comes to God's
love and it must enter your heart.

(01:05:19):
I didn't have to do anything. To marry His love.
His love will not run out when it is my team.
In fact, I can enjoy God so much, but I can't exhaust Him.
That's what all of us say individually.
We cannot say how He loves me. Thank you like so the love will.

(01:05:41):
Not finish. Look, his nature is love.
God is love. That's why John said he that
dwelleth in love dwelleth in Godand God again.
Oh my God, I know you don't believe me, so I'll give you a

(01:06:07):
simple scripture that you've learned from your childhood, but
you have not exhausted its realities.
John, 316. Lesson 12GO.
Wait, that he gave the car, thathe gave the house, that he gave

(01:06:29):
the boyfriend a fat bank account?
What did he give? You know, I was thinking about
this and. Usually when we are preaching we
stop at and he gave. God lost, so he gave, and we use
it to collect money. But we have to.
Put it in context. I'm not saying it's secondary

(01:06:50):
interpretation is powerful, but what Jesus was saying here is
that the demonstration of God's love was not necessarily the
action of the giving, but what was given.
And that's why this word is veryimportant, is this word is
important. So the giving is powerful, but

(01:07:13):
he had to put this word here theonly so you realize that it is
the giving, yes. But more so, what he gave, he
gave his. Only it's not like you see when
you have plenty trousers and yougive to.
You don't feel it. But when you have one, one black

(01:07:34):
one, and it's your favorite and the Lord says give it.
You argue it's good to use this verse for scripture that the
demonstration of love is in given, Yes.
But we have to. Explain.
So it means that even if we are going to use the same thing to
teach on you giving God gave something that cost him.

(01:07:56):
So the demonstration of your love in given it must cost you
you. See in the text when you start
talking about money. The members oh the message was
going sweet until the money passed.

(01:08:17):
So the the giving of His only begotten Son was the
demonstration of His love since for God so loved.
Now there are 7 layers in this vase. 7 7 layers in this one
vase. Should I go through it quickly

(01:08:38):
for you? These people don't want it, so
I'm close. I'm going sit down.
Let me show it as an instance for God so loved.
The word love is in what tense it means. #1 the tense of his
love. God's love is past tense, and

(01:09:02):
past tense means he has already loved before you show up.
You showed up, so there's nothing that you do that to
defeat the love. So the first thing here is that
the tense of his love, God so loved the number 2, the
immensity of his love, like the seriousness of the love.
How much they love so. The word so in the Greek is so.

(01:09:27):
So it is. Actually for God, so your breath
to finish. Oh, loved.
The world, that's how serious heloved you.
One day we'll go into this. So there's the tense of his
love, there's the immensity of his love.
Then there's the scope of his love.
What was the scope of the world?Like the merchant who went into

(01:09:51):
a field and when he saw the field, he saw that the field had
a treasure in it, but he didn't buy the treasure, he bought the
field. So the scope of God's love is
the world. Then there's the sacrificial
statute of his love He gave. How have I given you?

(01:10:13):
So he gave? The sacrificial statute of love
He gave. Then there's the design of his
love. Did I say they are 5 or 7?
How many have I given you now? 5 So the design of his love,

(01:10:34):
then whosoever will be words. The whosoever is yes.
Then there's the design of his love.

(01:10:59):
The design of His love. The nature of His love is that
He gave. So there's the nature of His
love. He gave them the sacrificial.
The sacrificial statute of His love was that He gave His only
begotten Son. Then the design of His love is
that whosoever believes so that the love has been designed so
that you can believe. Then the last one is the benefit
of the love is that you'll get it in our life several years,

(01:11:27):
and if we are going to do this, we can do one every month.
So we need seven months to learn.
John 316 it's your pride that you see it's like you say that
John 364 God so you don't understand what you are saying,
but I just want to draw attention to this that God so
loved, so he gave, so the given points us to his love.

(01:11:55):
I want to show you another scripture Romans chapter 5 verse
6. That's what this one the
anticipated the crary. Is it crystal crystal Cray or
crystal Cray who free Home Park who experience can we all read

(01:12:18):
together? No, those are the back.
Are you with me? Amen that.
Is a trouble. Amen.
OK. For when we were yet without

(01:12:38):
strength in due time. In due time Christ died for the
ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die yet

(01:13:14):
per adventure. For a good man some would even
dare to die. Everyone, let's read this.
Best together. 1 to go. Verse 8 But God, everybody said,

(01:13:36):
but God again read it. But God commendeth, commendeth.

(01:13:56):
What did he commend? So what are you seeing here?
Now? Let me even help you.
The word commanded is a big word.
Someone said Austrian condemnation there be there be

(01:14:19):
NIVNIV is not condemnation, is aGod condemnated his love.
Please have you seen the word demonstrated?
So what commanded is demonstration.
So God demonstrated his love in a certain action, the death of

(01:14:40):
Christ. That's what I'm saying, that
when Jesus came, God had finalized the expression of his
love. He didn't have to do anything.
Again, if everything is in Christ.
Christ is everything. Christ is your righteousness.
Christ is faith. Christ is peace.

(01:15:02):
Christ is wisdom. Christ is meat.
Christ is bread. Christ is life comes when
Christ, which is our life. Christ is everything Christ is.
I mean name it everything. Or Christ is not everything is
Christ, Christ is everything, says God demonstrated.

(01:15:32):
I'm taking my for a reason because I hope I've not confused
you. Do you like what I'm telling?
He says. But God demonstrated his love
for us in this. Then I was thinking about this.
I wanted to cry. While we were yet sinless.

(01:15:56):
You see, there was no condition for him to die.
If he was going to look at you, he'll die.
The you that they're even dying for.
You can insult. You can insult Pastor.
She was insulting me. You know we've.

(01:16:21):
Preached a message and said change before you come.
Ello ello ello ello. Change before you come, change
before you come. God doesn't like fornicators.
We know it's true, but they can't help it.

(01:16:48):
It's true. God doesn't like thieves.
Yes, I will teach you something.Look, everybody sitting here,
when you are singing, there's something new that tells what
you're doing is wrong. You don't need an external
party, you know. So do you know what God did in

(01:17:10):
the New covenant? He didn't make his instructions
to us external like in the old. He put it in our hearts.
Hebrews. #8 says I will write mylaws in their hearts and in
their mind. So you wake up and you're just.
Thinking scriptures, you think is you.
It is an inscription by God. On your heart and your mind.

(01:17:38):
Stop drinking. Look, they know how many of you
were doing things in the world. You knew they were bad, but you
were still doing it. Oh, those in the middle, there's
like you are Saints, Him and some of you must raise two hands
and one leg. And you knew it was bad.

(01:18:07):
You knew it because even the unsafe person has a conscience
and God put it there as a guide.You knew it.
We put the pressure on the people change.
You have to change. You have to change.
You have to change. Change and every.
Time we are doing that, Bible concerts, the ministration of

(01:18:28):
death, we are killing them the more we keep telling them to do
before they come. You got to love God, You got to
love God. You got to love God.
I see five people you, but you got to love God.

(01:18:49):
My God, how many of you have hadsuch preaching?
Anytime the emphasis is on you, you are not in Greece.
Can we go back to first John 14,Francis, he says here in his

(01:19:09):
love. But look at the next one.
Not. That we loved God, but that he
loved us. If I'm oh, I love Apostle John,
but Apostle John, Mammy mammy, if I was the one translating
this verse. You know what I would have said?
He says here in his love. I would have said here in his
love, not that we loved God, butthat he first loved us.

(01:19:32):
And then I could hear Apostle John tell me slow down.
So when you go down, he says we love him.
Hey, so it's like Apostle John is telling me, Adrian, your
horse ran fast. So 9 verses down the line he

(01:19:57):
comes to say the reason why we can love God is not because of
us, it's because he, he took thelead in loving God took the
lead. So the emphasis should not be
you've got to love God. The emphasis should be God has
loved you. The gospel does not begin with
an imperative do. It begins with a declarative

(01:20:19):
done, done. I'm loved.
It's the laugh. I didn't.
I didn't do anything. Can I give you a simple
scenario? You walk through the Accra Mall,

(01:20:42):
You see a beautiful lady. She was.
She was surfing the Internet on her phone.
And when you saw her, your heartwet.
Bump it, bump it. Boom.
And the lady was minding her business and you made the move.

(01:21:03):
She doesn't know you, she's a stranger, but you made the move.
Do you know the very interestingthing?
She begins to respond. Hello, my name is.
My name is. My name is OO7.

(01:21:26):
Then the lady looks at you. Oh really?
I'm OO9? Then all of a sudden you hear
the Bluetooth device is connected all successfully.

(01:21:50):
Then the lady starts to respond.But the beginning of her
response was because you made you initiated it.
So we two were minding our own business.
If we were dead In Sync, that's what the Bible says.
We were in the sync, Gregor. We're just there, but you look
to your neighbor. And say, hey, Charlotte, you

(01:22:10):
there say are there like I know the.
Inside the coffin is hot. I don't like wiko and God said

(01:22:34):
no, I love. These people, I will die.
They've not done anything because they were minding their
business. Do you know how Pastor John said
it? He came onto his own, but his
own received him not. They didn't care.
Did we send you to come and die?He came to his own, but he was

(01:22:57):
not on their mind, so they treated him in hell like he
stole into the cross. So the moving that's 007 moved
to 009 is like how God moved to us even when we didn't have you
on our mind. And how did he first initiate
the relationship? He sent Christ.

(01:23:19):
So the sending of Christ was God's initiation, or was God
taking the lead to show us that he loves us?
Know that we love God, that he loved us.

(01:23:44):
He loved us. He loved us before we came here.
No, I'll show. You something Romans 8 Romans 5
yeah, Romans 5 Let's go back there.
God go to NIV says while we wereyet sinners.
King James says while we were yet while we were while we were

(01:24:06):
not when we are praying, we werestill seen as doctors and Jesus
came to die. We were still.
When I think about this sometimes, I'm like.
What? Why?
Why? Why?

(01:24:29):
What about me makes you love me so much?
God is demonstrating his love, so there is God who is
performing an action of demonstration, and there is US.
Who are still sinners, or were sinners, and in God's

(01:24:52):
demonstration he sent. Christ he said when that and
Jesus didn't go to the cross gradually.
Is it the way something your mother can send house light
talk, you are memory. That's not how Jesus went to the
cross. Christian When Jesus was going
to the cross, he was happy. That was for the joy that was

(01:25:16):
set before him. For the IT means there was a I
got joy. I got joy.
It's OK. Sit down, sit down.
Sit down, sit down. I've got joy, I've got Jesus, he

(01:25:39):
says, looking onto Jesus. The author and the finisher is
perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was said before
him, he endured the cross. He didn't enjoy the cross.
It was not enjoyment. They didn't kill him with the

(01:26:02):
way Jesus died. The way Jesus died, you think
he's a cutie Peturi? The way he died.
Babu says that his his visage was mad.
It means the soul beats Jesus. They couldn't tell where he was
coming from and who did he do that for you?

(01:26:25):
You go that we love God. Go back there.
Romans chapter 5 that's why we were still sinners.
Christ died. We started from verse 5 right?

(01:26:47):
The six go back to the six message translation message.
Christ arrives right on time to make this happen.
He didn't and doesn't wait for us to get ready.
Those are told that Leila Go takes the lead.

(01:27:09):
He says he didn't and doesn't wait for us to get ready.
Eliza, he presented himself for this sacrificial death when we
were too weak and rebellious to do anything to get ourselves
ready. And even if we hadn't been so
weak, we wouldn't have known what to do anyway, wouldn't have

(01:27:31):
known what to do. How would you have died for
yourself? You were helplessly helpless.
Even if we were not weak. We wouldn't have known what to
do, so Christ stepped in next verse.
We can understand someone dying for, a person worth dying for.

(01:27:54):
You know when I. Like to use this example a lot,
when you were in class there wassome quiet like if say I said
that was in your class, you may collect came for him because he
doesn't. Oh say say he was not part OK I
will collect his own then he also say thank you but the other

(01:28:17):
people say Clement I will never collect.
Came for Clement. I'm ending I'm ending.
Have you enjoyed my preaching sofar?
I'm ending, believe me, I see. I'm ending, he says.
Right believing, He says we can understand someone dying for, a

(01:28:40):
person worth dying for, and we can understand how someone good
and noble could inspire us to selfless sacrifice.
But what happens in this 8 But God put his love on the line for
us by offering his Son in sacrificial death, while we were
of no use whatever to Him of no use.

(01:29:04):
How I wish you would lift up your right hand and say thank
you Jesus of no use, of no use. It means I was like, like of no
use. Wow.

(01:29:26):
But you see the foolishness of it.
You didn't do anything and you have no use to him when you were
in sin. Now that you have come to him,
you want to use your effort to prison.
One day I had a church member who misbehaved towards me and
started staying away and the person started staying away.

(01:29:54):
I said why say I feel like what I did?
I've hurt you and I said you were a mistake to start with.
When God sent me to come and preach to you, you were a
mistake and God put his love in my heart for you when you were a
mistake. It is not now you are learning
that I'll be hard on you and that's what we do to God to

(01:30:15):
start with you a mistake 0. So if you fall, remember always
that to start with I was a mistake.
It is not now I'm making righteous states that when I
fall in sin, I'm coming today I've disappointed God and God
you don't understand what I did really you were of no use

(01:30:36):
though. So now in grace.
That's why in the New Testament,in the New Covenant in the Old
Testament, he gave them the law.They had to outwardly obey the
law, but in the New Testament wedon't outwardly obey the law.
The law is written in our hearts.
Romans in Hebrews 18, the law isalready written.
Hebrews 18 puts there for them to see it quickly, so that when

(01:31:01):
I'm telling the truth, go to King James, for this is the
covenant that I will make. In the Old Testament it was
always You shall not, you shall not, you shall not, He said.
The people said Ho. Whatever he tells us to.
Do we can do it? Come on, Moses won't bring the
Law. Then when Moses brought the Law,

(01:31:25):
3. 1000 people died and the living that.
Is Moses brought 10? They later they degraded it into
thousand 1000. They later became 613 so.
Doable. Someone could look at you and
say I have kept the whole law, but you know the foolishness.

(01:31:46):
He didn't know that he had broken the very first
commandment the rich young rulerhave.
Kept all the law. But the first of the law was,
thou shalt have no other God before me.
But the Bible says that when Jesus bring all your money, he
left sorrowful. Do you know what the other says?
Because great possessions had him, so his money became his

(01:32:09):
God. That's what the Greek says.
His money was his God. So he determined what he did
just for great possessions had him.
And when he came to Jesus, do you know how he came?
He said, Good master, what shallI do?

(01:32:32):
Look, 18, he's a good master. What shall I do?
And anytime you say do you are activating the law.
So when this guy came with the law, just say, hey, I submit you
boots for boots. What shall you do next days?
Just start editioning The law just said to him, why do you
call me good? None is good save one that says
God. There's 20, there's 20.
That one knows the commandment then just OK, do not commit

(01:32:53):
adultery, do not kill. So he says, what shall I do?
So just give him the juice. But I know the immediate next
chapter theologians believe thismight have happened the same day
is a man called Zacchaeus. Zacchaeus didn't come asking
Jesus, what shall I do? The rabble says go to the next

(01:33:14):
verse. Next verse.
Go go back, Rabble says. And his sought this wet sought
is an imperfect things. It means, and he was constantly
seeking to see Jesus. So when Jesus met Zacchaeus, he

(01:33:34):
saw this guy sitting on a Sycamore chip.
You know the word Zacchaeus in Hebrew times.
In those times when they go to court and then the judge wants
to adjourn the case and declare the person innocent, he would
take his, he would take his gavel and he will hit the table.

(01:33:54):
When you are innocent. When he hits the table, let him
shout Zakai. That means not guilty.
That's where Zaki's names come from, his name come from.
So Zaki's actually meant not guilty.
So when Jesus saw him sitting onthe Sycamore tree, he said.
Acquitted or forgiven or not guilty, calm down for tonight.

(01:34:20):
For tonight, he says calm down. You know the effects of this
drop down, drop down, next one and.
Zacchaeus stood and said unto the Lord, Has Jesus preached to

(01:34:44):
Zacchaeus? Oh come on, has Jesus preached
to Zacchaeus? What did he tell Zacchaeus?
Zacchaeus, calm down. And the Bible says that now
Zacchaeus said, Behold Lord, half of my goods.
Do you see the contrast? The guy who came and said, What
shall I do? Could not give his possession.

(01:35:05):
The one who has not given any law to obey, he said, He said, I
will give half of my goods. Half.
Of my goods, because he was not presented alone.

(01:35:28):
It's a tie slapping ties very soyour mother will be saying that
maybe not shut the Miami to sellor tap tap on the ties.
You tell your mother that is theeffect.
Of the word like so you can be reading the screen like.
Wow, God, the one who was not giving the law do do do do

(01:35:51):
without he being told anything to do.
He gave half of his goods to thepoor because he had seen Jesus
whose worth was more than gold. All I have is Jesus.
Some reason. No, we need Jesus and money.

(01:36:13):
Sikakra. Jesus Kakra.
JM Jesus and money when these people are happy, are you

(01:36:35):
blessed? I'm I'm getting to the
conclusion of my message. Oh no.
Now close earlier. I'm very honest.
Oh no. Watch me today.
Watch me today. Are you have known and believed
OK? But I will show you something.

(01:36:57):
Go back to Roman Soccer 5 verse 8.
That's what we weigh message translation says, well there's
nine now, so we have no use. Verse 9, this is now we have
been set right with God by the means of this sacrificial death,
the consummate blood sacrifice. What does consummate mean?
The highest. The highest, like the

(01:37:21):
demonstration of the love by thedeath of Christ.
It is finished. So when Jesus had finished, he
also meant that however you wantGod to show you that he loves,
he loves you. By this death, he's finished.
There's no some of you want to cut honest some of you.

(01:37:42):
Hey, hey, God, if you love me, if you love me, give me a good
job. The lack of a good job doesn't
mean he doesn't love you. I told you that Jesus died.
God has finished demonstrating his love.
But you see, the beautiful thingabout it is this, when we
understand this love, that says that no good thing would give
withhold from from us. Why?

(01:38:06):
Because I know that if, oh if hespared not his only son, but
gave him up for us all. How?
Shall he not with him, with him,with him?
When with in the Greek means alongside, it means when Jesus
God sends Jesus alongside Jesus is a full package.

(01:38:28):
Good health, prosperity, good marriage and what else?
What are some of the things? Good day.
Good day money, good spouse, children, good children, good
jobs. Do you know what the Bible is

(01:38:49):
telling us? Romans 832?
These goodies, they don't come alone.
That's why if you try to look for goodies outside Christ, you
are looking for goodies outside the good, because the

(01:39:10):
Anglo-Saxon name for God was thegood.
So you are looking for goodies outside the good.
That's why people go to shrine and you realize that Satan will
give you the money but you can'tshut your life with a plier.
Then you have gone to malam because you want money.
Then they put a foul down, foulsit on.

(01:39:34):
But that day it had two and vomited 1 and then after
vomiting one it died. Then the Malam looked at it and
said, wait there it means. But when you understand that
Jesus is everything God wants you to have, I believe I've

(01:39:54):
never been to heaven before. So those of who have been to
heaven, you can come and correctme, but I have not believed.
I have not been to heaven before.
I don't think there are cars in heaven, I don't think there are
house and well, Jesus told us our houses, I don't think there
are Uber, Shell or Shakzi in heaven.

(01:40:17):
I believe that all God has is Christ, and when you accept
Christ, then all the goodies arealongside.
If I do know how David said it, goodness and mercy, they follow
me. Not two weeks, all the days, all

(01:40:40):
the days. And you know why?
I mean, shall I say, do you havesomething to Grace that he
didn't say? You shall have all things.
It starts by saying. When the Lord is your shepherd
and who is that shepherd? Jesus said I am the good
caliber. So when the Good Shepherd is
leading you, goodness and messeswill follow you.

(01:41:04):
Why? Because the Good Shepherd is
leading you, so that some. 16 verse 11 can be true some 16
verse 11 quickly some 16 verse 11.
Says you will show me the path of life.
Why? Because of my Good Shepherd and
I'm following you. You will lead me on the path of

(01:41:25):
life. And in your presence is fullness
of joy and at your right hand pleasure, all kind of pleasure,
pleasure including a good vacation with you and your
spouse. It's Oh my God, my God, my God,
it is poverty not to have vacations.

(01:41:47):
Do you know that Israel entered captivity because they broke the
Sabbath? And what's the day of Sabbath
rest? So it means there should be
turns. God must soul bless you way in
the year. You can go and stay in Qatar for
two weeks. Take it one take it too.

(01:42:08):
But how will you take it that taking it?
You don't just take it by this taking it, he says, if he gave
Christ. All these things will come
alongside Christ. That's when these things come
without Christ, there is usuallythat so many sorrows are
attached to it. That's the Bible says that the
love of money is what is the root of all evil, not money is

(01:42:28):
the root of evil. Money is good, it is the love.
Of it I. Know what the Bible says says
which when some people, some of the brethren went after they
pierced themselves with many sorrows.
So if you chase money and you don't chase God, you are chasing

(01:42:48):
sorrow. May God raise God chases some
answers sit down. So don't chase Anisha, don't
chase a Good Wife, chase God. Adam woke up and God was
presenting the woman in front ofhim.

(01:43:08):
He said my God. Look, look, a lot of people are.
Afraid that God will give them what they don't want.
How long have had that fear before reason Turn around, look
at no. Keep your hands up.
See the number of people who areafraid.
And you know where this fear is coming from.
First, John 419 You've not understood his perfect love.

(01:43:33):
So you think that God will give you something you don't like
Opposite. I don't understand.
I want to take tall man. 6 foot 3 some of the brothers in the
gym raising them that they say it is because oh Jesus the

(01:43:54):
instead of this boy has been told by God you'll be a pastor
instead of reading the Bible. He's lifting metals because a
lady has told him when I marry Iwant to put my head on a chest
that is has muscles more adiposetissues mass.

(01:44:15):
So you see the person who shouldbe pursuing his calling because
of the decadence of our generation, he's tempted this
other. Then now he comes.
Then we all pray. Then he's there like, how shall

(01:44:40):
he? Not give us all now, do you know
2 days ago, I think four days ago I was thinking, I was
thinking about what are the expressions of love?
You say love, What are the expressions of love?
And if God is showing us in his Word that Jesus is the absolute

(01:45:05):
demonstration of love, whatever we call the expressions of love
must find its roots in order. Now, quickly, what came to mind?
The five love languages. How many of you have heard of
the five love languages? Who can mention all the five

(01:45:29):
love languages? Cuisinos, you can mention it.
OK, let's go, let's go #1 acts of service, quality time,
physical touch, gifts, words of affirmation.
Yes. So these are the five love
languages. There's a book by Is It Gary?

(01:45:55):
I nearly said. So he he has a book called the
Five Love Languages. Now all these five love
languages, if God is love. I was just thinking about it.
In fact, the only ghost. Brought into our sweeping so the

(01:46:16):
moral lesson is why you sweep. God will talk to you so.
The Lord just asked me like while I was sweeping, the Lord
asked me what are the expressions of love?
And I said, I don't know, said so quickly.
The mistake I made was I didn't wait for the Lord to finish
talking. I dropped this.
I went inside, typed on the Internet, what are the
expressions? What are the expressions of

(01:46:36):
love? Then the first thing that popped
up was the Lord said he should have asked me.
Then I said, so how are these things related to what I want to
share or what you are leading meto share?
The Lord said look. If I'm love, anything that you
call love should find its. Root in me thus is not love, so
mention one love language words of affirmation.

(01:46:59):
How does God use words of affirmation?
You know how he calls us he saysyou are precious in my sights.
Words of affirmation means that God uses words to make you feel
loved that the whole concept of the five love languages is that
everybody and what makes them feel more loved.
So there are some people if you give them gifts, do ask

(01:47:21):
mediating, but when you touch them like this.
And you hold them like that, Jesus Christ will come through
for you. There are other people.
Oh, yeah. Touches.
Hey, Johnny. But when you bring flowers.

(01:47:44):
Oh, Mira. Oh, oh, oh, the other people
gifts don't do anything to them,but quality time that we are
together just chatting and bonding and laughing and
watching movies and notice that's quality.
That's that's their own some to his acts of service.

(01:48:06):
The more you are attending to them, serving them.
The few laughs but the first I mentioned was what waste of
affirmation in Isaiah. I think Isaiah of the 43 So the
Robert says that when you walk through the waters, I'll be
there and. When you walk through the fire.
You will not be burnt. Why?
Because you are precious in my sight.

(01:48:28):
God is using words to make you feel.
He says I have loved you. It's like a man and his spouse.
He says I've loved you with an everlasting laugh.
So it stems from God. So God wants you to understand

(01:48:50):
that look, that West of affirmation.
When you go to my way, you find it.
When you read God's way, you'll find that too many places in
Scripture, God is telling you how what you mean to him.
Look, He will tell you that likeyou are like jewels.
You are like, you are the apple of my eye.

(01:49:12):
Like think, wait wait, do someone you tell yourself.
But it stems from God. It stems from God it.
Stems from God. It stems from God.

(01:49:39):
It stems from God. In John 15, Jesus looked at his
samples and said, I have no longer called you servants.
I've. Called you friends like it's
like a husband. Telling his wife I'm not just my
wife, you are my friend. Because there are some married
couples, they are not friends. Don't look too far to see.

(01:49:59):
Just look in your neighborhood the way where you've never seen
husband and wife walking, holding hands in your
neighborhood. Every time I could see my pies
in front, I could see my maze behind, and that's not fully
like a duck. The duck, the duckler, and the
ducklings they are following. All they know is physical touch.
Then they'll produce more ducklings, but they are not

(01:50:21):
friends. But Jesus was just was using
words, words, words, words. Look efficiency of A5 shows us
that the way he nourishes us is by words.
Let me just five and five, look at this efficiently.
I'm not saying just husbands love your wives, even as Christ

(01:50:43):
loved the church and gave himself for it.
So he's comparing how husbands should love their wives to how
Christ loved the church. So what he's coming to say
husband should do to their wivesis what Christ does to us then
that he that he Christ sanctify and cleanse it with the washing
of the water by the Word. That's why God doesn't spare a

(01:51:04):
moment to speak his words over you because that's how you feel
laughed then acts of service think about it in you know
before Jesus in John 13 that wassays that when they are all John
13. I'm not sure I did.
Jesus is doing acts of service in John chapter 18 now before

(01:51:27):
the feast of Passover. When Jesus knew that the hours
come, he loved them. Onto the end verse.
Next up. Come on, let's go.
And we supper being ended. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Verse 3 I don't want Jesus. No, come on, that's for, that's
for, come on, do it for me. Then he rises from supper.
They are finished eating. Jesus rises up from supper and

(01:51:48):
laid aside his garments and tooka towel and gathered himself and
started washing his disciples feet.
That's acts of service. He was rendering service to
them, another act of service. They were on the ship after his
resurrection. He says come when the chemicals
was roasting fish for them. Acts of Service Philippines too

(01:52:15):
says he took upon himself the form of a servant.
Form of a servant. Acts of service, whichever one
Did you mention quality time? Do you know in John 18?
Jesus resorted with his disciples.
They went to spend time alone. Jesus spent time with his
disciples. He loved to spend quality time

(01:52:37):
with his disciples but was in the public he would preach.
But when he was alone with his disciples, he united the knots
Sit. Down these things.
We did it at the Oxen Communities camp.
Don't do that when I teach them that we can flow with the joke

(01:52:59):
they're making the members feel,but the first timers are not
happy they will follow. Babu says that for Jesus
oftentimes resulted the word resulted in the Greek means a
tourist vacation. One of the meaning of the word
is tourism. So Jesus just went some of his

(01:53:21):
disciples and they spent time. So Jesus is God understands
quality time. That's why he tells you I want
to spend time with you. Close the door, it says.
I'm a jealous lover. I'm intolerant of rivals.
When I'm spending time with you,I don't want any other thing to
have your attention. I want quality.
Quality means uninterrupted. Are you seeing Jesus in the love

(01:53:43):
languages? Which other one did you mention?
I'm collecting it for you. Receiving of gifts.
Do you know that God gave Jesus to us as the highest gift to us?
Jesus is the gift of God to us and when he was ascending, He
gave gifts. Bible calls salvation the gifts

(01:54:05):
of salvation gifts. Physical touch.
Do you know in Luke 10 Bible physical touch involves hugs and
in Luke 10 is it Luke 10 or Mark10 Jesus hugged children when
the disciples to say hey don't come here.
Jesus let the children come to me and he had every one of them.

(01:54:27):
Physical touch also includes laying on of hands.
He laid hands, he. Touched people he touched.
And when Jesus saw it, he was displeased.
What was he displeased about? Verse 13?
I'm ending this, the last part of my message.
I'm very serious. And they brought young children
to him that he should touch them.
And the disciples rebuked those that brought them.

(01:54:50):
Next Verse. But when Jesus saw it, he was
much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer ye the little
children, to come unto me, and forbid them not, for of such is
the Kingdom of God. Next one verily I sound to you.
Next 116 My last race. 16 And hetook them up in his arms, and
put his hands upon them. That's touching.

(01:55:11):
Look at it in passion. He embraced each child and
laying his hands on them he lovingly he lovingly bless them.
The last one is McCann Luna Dhabi.

(01:55:40):
OK, McCann Luna quality time also Mark 631 just reserves come
away so you have been tired. Let's come aside and let's go
and find somewhere to have. Leisure.
And something to eat. But do you know something

(01:56:04):
interesting about God? God can do these things
individually. God can give you quality time.
Then now he'll come and give youacts of service.
Then he'll come and give you gifts.
So God's love language is Jesus.So that in Jesus I've shown you
from the Scripture, so in Jesus you are seeing that God is
expressing quality time. He wants to spend time with you

(01:56:26):
all the God speaks one language.The language that God speaks is
called Hebrew chapter one. They don't believe me.
God who had sundry times and in godless man manners speak in
time past. How was God communicating in
those times by the prophets, butin this last days has spoken to

(01:56:47):
us in. His son verse 2.
I mean, there's 2 now he has spoken to to us by the word by
here in the original Greek is inin So Jesus is the language of
the father. And if the father is enough,
then the love language of the father is called Son.

(01:57:10):
Jesus is the is the is the language, the love language of
God. So that in Jesus, from what I
started seeing at the beginning,in Jesus, the absolute
demonstration, an expression of God's love is achieved.
So anytime you walk outside of Jesus, you will not have quality

(01:57:30):
time. The guy will give you quality
time. If you are clapping, clap well
and stop. So the secret is this, I started
by showing you that wrong believing is the reason why we

(01:57:54):
can't live well, and wrong believing foundation is wrong
hearing or no hearing, and a lotof you don't believe how much
God loves you. Then we came to see the
demonstration of His life in thecenter of his son Jesus.
Colossians 214. I'm done maybe, and I can't say

(01:58:25):
I'm being not. And who will send me?
Who knows. It's having a.

(01:58:49):
Pollutions 114. What is the effect of knowing
all this? You stop looking for love in the
wrong places. You stop looking for love in the
wrong place. How do you how you doing?

(01:59:09):
You tell me after when we understand that Jesus is the
absolute demonstration of God's love, we will not go to the
wrong places to look for love because we know that, right.
So that's why you don't like coming to church.
I'm actually Mutina McCain successful gig successful people

(01:59:36):
don't come to church because they don't they don't know that
every time it's time for church,God is like, my children are
coming. Ha, that's my love.
That's my Oh my God to say, my God.
In fact, the Lord said to my Lord, so I'm not out of place in

(01:59:58):
Scripture. God will just be warming up.
Oh, Denzel is coming to pray. So you are preparing to pray.
Touch the keyboard for me. We are preparing to pray and you
are just putting things in order, cleaning your room.
God is like. For example, wait a minute, when
you were in the world and the lady was coming, you went to buy

(02:00:21):
blue lights and you bought fragrance and you bought
popcorn. They call it setting the mood.
It means an ukawa MO Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down it

(02:00:44):
means. Any time think I know any time
you are prepping to pray God is like my son is coming.
Like. God wants to spend time failure.
He, he, he just comes with like,he's like.
That's my child. Do you know how I know this is

(02:01:04):
true? When the prodigal son was coming
home, it's the father who saw him afar off, afar, and it was
the father. We are not told the boy ran to
his father, but we are told thatthe father ran to the son.
It's the father who fell on his son.
It's the father who kissed his son.

(02:01:24):
It's the father who gave the ring and the son down.
It's the father who threw the party.
The emphasis was on the father opposite.
I don't know how much I failed. Let me give you a consolation.
Who betrayed Jesus? Hey, who betrayed Jesus?

(02:01:47):
Those who are saying you that special understand if I raise
right hand. Those who are saying Jesus and
never I don't know Peter. So.
So what did Peter do to Jesus? Oh, technicality.
OK, so who denied Jesus? Now watch this.

(02:02:10):
When Peter betrayed Jesus, he was deeply wounded.
It was so serious that when Jesus was erected and they were
going to the tomb, Peter took the leader.
But at a point John came to passhim because he was run with
guilty feet. So when Jesus was erected from
the dead, do you know what he did?

(02:02:31):
He also went to see Peter. First Corinthians Super 15 I
know you're giving us some excuses have fallen.
I don't look at what Jesus went to visit Peter to restore him.
We are not told what he told Peter.
We are told of the visitation Paul recounted and I know Paul

(02:02:52):
might have known this because when Peter when Paul became born
again, he went to stay with Peter for some time.
So maybe in those conversations Peter had told Paul that Jesus
appeared to me and what did he say So now Paul is writing to
the Corinthian church. Look at this for oh, verse 5, go
to verse verse 3, verse 3. So he's telling us what the
gospel says for I delivered to you first of all, that which I

(02:03:14):
have also received, how that Christ died for our sins
according to the Scriptures verse 4, and was buried and that
he rose again the third day according to the Scriptures,
verse 5. And he was sin of Safers.
So it means before Jesus and then of the 12, it means before
Jesus appeared to the 12 he had already appeared to pick up to

(02:03:35):
restore him. So now in Acts chapter 4 and
Acts chapter 5, Peter is preaching.
I can see. Peter, you people, you have.
Denied or he said this Jesus whom you crucified, but he
denied He wasn't part because hereceived the restoration of the

(02:03:56):
consolation from Jesus. So although he denied Jesus, he
said you have crucified your Lord, you have no part in it.
That is what it means to understand the Father's love.
You understand how that God has loved you completely and his
love is absolute. No conditionalities, no

(02:04:19):
deficiencies, no partialities. You will stand tall.
So if you think that you know, God understands your falling
states. So Jesus said a bruised Reed,
will he not break a smoking flax?
Will he not quench A bruised Reed means that it's like a, you
know, a green grass, those long green grass and see sometimes

(02:04:41):
they bent over those ones don't have wooden, you know, they
don't have Sclen camera that's clearing cameras that produces
the hardwood. So they just bent says when you
are like that Jesus doesn't break you further and your
Christian life that of fire thatis particular he.
Says a smoking flax. Will he not quench means that of

(02:05:02):
fire? That is almost about to die.
Jesus rather comes with oxygen so that your fire can burn again
tonight. Maybe you are here, you are not
born again. Or perhaps you've done it but
you didn't understand it. I want to give an opportunity.

(02:05:24):
I want to say pasta. I want to receive Jesus into my
heart. You have shown me that I don't
have to do anything, just already done it and I want to
respond to his life.
