Speaker 1 (00:00):
People fight of a materialistic things. We've made those materialistic
things our false gods. If you don't buy me a
fifty thousand diamond ring for my engagement, I will not
end up marrying you. But my darling, my wage is
(00:24):
only eight hundred dollars a week. I can't afford a
fifty thousand diamond ring, but I can show you my
love for you is more than a diamond ring.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Which one are you going to choose, my child?
Speaker 1 (00:40):
The fifty thousand material diamond ring or that love which
surpasses all prices?
Speaker 2 (00:50):
What are you going to do with.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
A Mercedes Benz and a mansion but a life of hell.
I'd rather live at the gutter, but live in love, respect, harmony,
sharing and caring.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
What is the man she going to do?
Speaker 1 (01:12):
What is that expensive car going to do? What is
that expensive ring going to do? It is the heart
that matters my child, not materialistic things. Because they remained virgins,
they followed the Lamb wherever he went. They didn't follow
the world. They didn't follow the temptations of the world.
(01:34):
They didn't follow their own heart's desires, but they followed
the desire of God. Wherever the Lord wants me I
chose to be there. I want to remain a virgin.
I do not want to be defiled by the women
who are the false gods.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Of this world.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
These were there, These were redeemed from among men, being
first fruits to God and to the Lamb.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
First fruits. What are the first fruits? First born?
Speaker 1 (02:04):
You see in the Old Testament when the land gave fruits,
the very first harvest was giving to the house of
the Lord, the first fruits. The Lord is saying to
all of us, are you gonna give me your first fruits?
Or are you gonna leave me till the end? An
(02:29):
example of a first fruit. When you open your eyes
on the morning, are you saying thank you Lord first
before anyone else?
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Are you mentioning the Lord? Are you remembering the Lord first?
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Or are you remembering every single one and everything and
the last one?
Speaker 2 (02:48):
If lucky is the Lord, give your first fruits to
the Lord.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Every time you wake up, my child, the moment you
open your eyes.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Jesus, I love you man. Now this man is like
our way of talking.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Yo, bro, Jesus, I love you thank you Lord for
another day, because this day is a new life, is
a new beginning. It's another chance given to me to
fix what I couldn't fix yesterday. Whatever is gone is dead.
Don't dwell on the past. Don't live the past. You
(03:25):
are deceiving yourself. You are living a lie because the
past is gone dead. Never come back. But thank the Lord,
because it was the mercy of God. It was the
grace of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, who is God revealed
in the flesh, that gave you another day. It is
his grace that gave you another chance to fix what
(03:48):
you couldn't fix yesterday. Take this day and new beginning
and new life giving to me. I am a new
creation on this day. Therefore, do not waste this this
new day by dwelling on the past, crying for yourself,
because I've done this, and I've done this, and I
should have known better. Move on, Stop living the past.
(04:10):
Move on, move on. Yes, we need to move on.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
We need to move on. One day we will talk
to you about time.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Time is one of the most precious gifts ever given
by God to humanity. Time so precious, so precious, so priceless.
Make the most of it. Use time as the wise merchant,
(04:49):
and make it.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Profitable for you. Make it profitable, My beloved, give the
first fruits to the Lord Jesus.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
I mentioned this true story a while back. I'll mention
it again. This priest went to meet this man. This
man happened to be a multi billionaire, not millionaire, a billionaire,
extremely rich.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
He said.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
I went to his palace and we were sitting outside
having a cup of tea, and this man, who happens
also to be a father, he was overwhelmed with joy
and happiness. He could not stop smiling, laughing. He was
(05:44):
over the moon, so happy. It made the priest curious
to ask that question. He said, so, and so, please
allow me to ask you this question, He said, What
is it?
Speaker 2 (05:57):
He said?
Speaker 1 (05:58):
I couldn't really with stand the amount of joy I
could see being expressed on your face. Can you tell
me what is the reason behind all this joy and happiness?
He said, Father, it's the shirt I'm wearing.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
He said. I looked at the shirt.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
The best maybe you would have cost one hundred bucks
one hundred dollars.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
He said.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
This man is a multi billionaire. He could have endless
shirts made out of gold. It was just an ordinary
shirt anyone can afford to buy. He said, what do
you mean the shirt. He said, father, you don't understand.
You don't understand my son. My son, father, my son.
(06:44):
He went and worked. He found a job, and the
first pay he received, he bought his dad a shirt.
With that pay, he said, father, this shirt to me
is more precious than all the wealth I have, because
my son remembered his dad, first first born.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
I will treasure this shirt till the day I die.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
The most expensive thing this dad has a shirt bored
by his son. It is not the shirt, it's the thought.
The thought that matters.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Don't buy me a diamond ring and give me hell.
I don't want a diamond ring. I want you your heart.
I want your love. This is the Lord.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
The Lord says, don't come and say I've donated a
million dollars and your treasury house. Don't come and say, Lord,
I've built a church for you worth millions of dollars.
Don't come and say to me I've done this, I've preached,
and I've brought the whole world to you. Don't say
that to me, because all of this I've done it.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Not you.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
I'm a piece of dust. It is not me speaking.
It's the Lord through his Holy Spirit. You need to
believe this. Don't ever say we went and listened to
this bishop. This bishop is a nothing. I am today,
tomorrow I'm gone with the wind. I am a piece
of dust, the week kissed of all weeks. It is
(08:23):
the Lord that has called you by your name. It
is the Lord that has brought you here today. There
is no luck coincidence in the index of Christianity.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
These two words.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Plug him from your life, plug him from your head,
plug him from your thought. Don't ever, as a Christian
say this is luck or this is a coincidence. You
are offending your Lord and God, Jesus Christ, that for
luck and coincidence do not exist. When we worship the omnipresent,
the Omnesian God, who knows everything, who is present everywhere
(08:59):
at the same time. Nothing is hidden from the Lord.
Nothing is coincidental, nothing is luck. It was planned planned,
So you being here, planned by the Lord, approved by
the Lord, stamp sealed by the Lord. And for you
to be here since the Lord allowed it. It is
(09:21):
saying one thing and one thing only to all of you.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
The Lord still loves you, and he still wants you.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Simple, he still loves you, and he still wants you.
Whoever was the reason to bring you here to the church.
It was the Lord, not my mom, not my dad.
The Lord spoke through them all, but it was the Lord.
It was the Lord, so you should be happy. The
(09:50):
Lord loves me, that's why he brought me to his house,
his holy house, the Church.
