Matthew 6:1-6 Amplified Bible (AMP)
Giving to the Poor and Prayer
6 “Be [very] careful not to do your good deeds publicly, to be seen by men;
otherwise you will have no reward [prepared and awaiting you] with your Father who is in heaven.
2 “So whenever you give to the poor and do acts of kindness, do not blow a trumpet before you [to advertise it],
as the hypocrites do [like actors acting out a role] in the synagogues and in the streets,
so that they may be honored and recognized and praised by men.
I assure you and most solemnly say to you, they [already] have their reward in full.
3 But when you give to the poor and do acts of kindness, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing [give in complete secrecy],
4 so that your charitable acts will be done in secret; and your Father who sees [what is done] in secret will reward you.
5 “Also, when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites; for they love to pray [publicly] standing in the synagogues
and on the corners of the streets so that they may be seen by men. I assure you and most solemnly say to you, they [already] have their reward in full.
6 But when you pray, go into your most private room, close the door and pray to your Father who is in secret, and
your Father who sees [what is done] in secret will reward you.

00:00 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Brothers and sisters, the power of Christ Daily 9th October 2015 saying I prayed for you can lose your reward. Saying I prayed for you can lose your reward. Brothers and sisters, today the 9th of October 2015 Friday.
00:21 Now when we wake up, let’s think of others. We are blessed. Jesus Christ is in you.
00:26 Jesus Christ is in me. And now we have to form and mold Christ in our hearts, hearts and mind by meditating on the Word and our conduct, examining our conduct against the Word of God daily on one or two items that you know the Holy Spirit is
convicting you, that is not good. Because whatever you’re doing, this particular thing, let’s say you losing temper, or let’s say you’re worrying about something, particularly worry about some money tomorrow.
00:55 How am I going to pay the bills tomorrow? My husband does this or something. We cast all that aside in Jesus Christ’s name. Do the Breath of God and those of you who have not known about the Breath of God, go to the segments and get it or get your
moderators.
01:12 Whoever gave you these things, these segments, to ask for the Breath of God segment and listen to it. It’s a powerful thing. Many are set free from fear, from confusion.
01:22 Brothers and sisters, today. And so we are blessed. Start the day knowing you’re blessed.
01:28 The fact that Christ called you and accepted you, washed you with his own blood, righteous, pure, holy blood, and gave you power and gave you faith to be in Him. Oh, you’re blessed. But there are others who are suffering, who can’t see it.
01:46 Because the rule is what the Word of God says. Only those whom My Father allows them to come to me can come to me. So Father, God has allowed us to come to Jesus Christ.
01:56 That alone is priceless, brothers, priceless. So let’s be grateful for that. Yes, we have some pain here, there, everywhere.
02:03 In Jesus Christ’s name I command it. We can do whatever necessary, but we have life. We have peace.
02:10 Peace. The peace in us. Those of you who have been crying out to Christ and talking to Christ and wanting to follow his ways, willing to keep his commandments, loving him will have the peace, the peace that surpasses all understanding.
02:26 Brothers and sisters, today the title says that saying, I prayed for you can lose your reward now. Matthew, many do not know this, many do not know this. And many are losing their reward from Christ because of these things.
02:40 You know when I was born again, when Christ brought me there, and the term is born again because born again in the Spirit, you know, it’s not a Misnomer in the Spirit and people come tell me, I prayed for you, brother. I prayed for you. And then I
wonder, why are these people saying this? I prayed for you, prayed for you for something or other.
03:01 Now remember brothers and sisters, then God brought this Matthew 6 and I started reading Matthew 6 because I was listening to the audio cassettes the time, all the words of Jesus, New Testament and Bible. 10 Suddenly this thing struck me in the
Spirit. Matthew 6 let’s read what it says.
03:22 Be very careful not to do your good deeds publicly to be seen by men. This is from amplified because extended version Be very careful not to do your good deeds publicly to be seen by men. Otherwise you will have no reward prepared and waiting for
you with your Father who is in heaven.
03:44 Praise Jesus Christ. Brothers and sisters, this is a very critical scripture. Be very careful not to do your good deeds publicly to be seen by men.
03:53 Otherwise you will have no reward. Prepare an awaiting you with your Father who is in heaven. 2 so whenever you give to the poor and do acts of kindness, do not blow a trumpet before you to advertise it as the hypocrites do.
04:09 Like actors acting out a role in the synagogues and in the streets so that they may be honored and recognized and praised by men. I assure you and most solemnly say to you they already have their reward in full. I assure you.
04:26 You know who is saying this? This is Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God, the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords, the husband of our soul, our Savior, our Master. Oh, he’s saying, I assure you and most solemnly say to you they already have their
reward in full. What reward? The praise by men.
04:49 That’s the reward. Men praise them. And God says, Jesus Christ says they already had their reward, so they are not going to get reward from him, not going to get reward from Father God, because they have been honored and recognized and praised by
men.
05:03 Therefore he says, whenever you give to the poor and do acts of kindness, do not blow a trumpet as the hypocrites do. Like actors acting out a role in the churches and in the streets. Oh, like hypocrites, like actors acting out the role, it seems,
in the churches and in the streets.
05:20 Oh, they’re doing something, doing good. 3 But when you give to the poor and do acts of kindness, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing. Give in complete secrecy.
05:35 4 so that your charitable acts will be done in secret. And your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you, will reward you openly. Actually, the Bible says Reward you openly.
05:49 Also, when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray publicly standing in the churches or synagogues and on the corners of the streets so that they may be seen by men. I assure you and most solemnly state to you, they already
have their reward in full. And when you pray, go into your most private room, close the door and pray to your father who is in secret.
06:13 And your father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you openly. Now, brothers and sisters, today, let’s first of all think what do the world does when the world want to give some charity? They will make a big cardboard check, a very big
cardboard check, and then make a big hoo ha. This company is giving $1 million to some charity or whatever.
06:32 They take pictures, put in the newspapers and all already they got their reward. They don’t have the reward from Father God, but he’s telling us now, children of God, when you give your left hand must not know what your right hand is giving. Quiet
secret, that is, if you want your reward from heaven, you run Father.
06:51 Father God reward you. Not even reward in heaven, reward here also. Father God will reward you here on earth.
06:57 But if you are giving, if somebody giving because they want to be seen, the intention is to be appreciated by men, appreciated by people. Thank you, thank you. I give you this, brother, I take care of you.
07:10 I took care of that brother. I took care of that brother. Brother was on difficulty, so I took care of him.
07:15 You have no more reward. Many, many. I’m telling you, millions of Christians are losing their reward from Father God because of this.
07:23 They don’t know the scripture. Now there are others who may know the scripture or may not know, but the intention is extremely faulty. Our fallen nature, heart, God calls it treacherously wicked.
07:35 Our heart always wants recognition from people. When our heart wants recognition from people, we have a problem. We have a problem.
07:43 You know, as astronauts will say, from the space capsule to Earth, NASA, we have a problem. Or Houston, we have a problem. Why we have a problem here? Why we are now losing our reward? What Father God wants to give us? You know what Father God can
give us? You think this thank you from getting a thank you or some reward, a recognition.
08:07 People look at you. Oh, the brother is good. He took care of that sister.
08:12 And you go. I prayed for you, brother. I prayed for you, sister.
08:16 What is the intention of the heart? The heart wants the brother and sister to recognize me. To recognize me. I prayed for you.
08:23 And now, especially when they got healed, they all come and tell I prayed for you. When you got healed, they come and tell you, I prayed for you. Brother and sister.
08:31 Not knowing whether it was their prayer that worked or it was a righteous prayer much, or is it God’s mercy on your life. But simply because they prayed, they simply assumed because you prayed whichever way, pray wrongly. Also God.
08:51 Just because they pray, they assume their prayer of one that healed somebody and prayed for your brother. I prayed for your sister. Now, assuming it is also your prayer that worked, now you don’t have reward even if you pray.
09:03 It was your prayer that worked. You don’t have a reward now why? You already got your reward from the brother saying thank you. And then others are listening.
09:10 You know she prayed. No. And then the sister healed, you know, the others are giving, others are appreciating that they are recognizing, honored and recognized.
09:19 Oh, she is a great prayer warrior. If you pray, it will work so many times. You pray for these people that people all work.
09:25 The Lord, what is that? Honored and recognized and praised by men. And now what has happened? According to Jesus Christ himself, you do not get reward from Father. So he says, go into your room and pray.
09:39 Now, whether. Suppose there is no room. Pray in your heart.
09:43 That is our room now. Wherever we are the time. Don’t go looking for a prayer closet, a prayer tower.
09:49 You know, they are building prayer grottoes and prayer towers. What happens? You are in some place and you are in the midst of a ghetto, administering to people, and there is no real room. What happens? Somebody is in a war and in the desert war or
whatever, and they have to pray.
10:04 How to go to the room? Brothers and sisters, these physical rooms and all this is a creation of man. Prayer grotto. Yes, it helps because it surrounds us.
10:15 Quiet. A specific purpose. Silence.
10:18 Maybe even a nice Christian music is playing the background. You can meditate. Yeah, it’s good for meditation.
10:25 But if you learn the trick of meditation, learn the way of meditating about Christ, wherever you are, in your mind’s eye, in your eyes, of your understanding, in the eyes of your heart, you begin to think of Jesus Christ. Wherever you are, you know
how powerful that is. So what happens? You cannot get to a prayer grotto or prayer hill or prayer mountain or prayer something.
10:48 What happens? You cannot go. And what about the millions who cannot afford to go? You think Jesus Christ will allow a system like that? That only those who can get to a prayer room or prayer grotto or prayer something can be blessed? No. The
heartfelt prayer of a righteous person availeth much.
11:04 And the husband of your soul Loves you and he will settle. This is very simple. Jesus Christ, why my voice also raising? Because he loves you, brother.
11:15 He loves you, sister. And he written down these scriptures. Now you will not get your reward.
11:20 Now these scriptures are very good for us. They are useful scriptures. They are actually blessing scriptures that bless us to tell us what we can do, what we shouldn’t do, how we will lose our rewards.
11:32 He is not depriving us. This Matthew 6:1:6 is not depriving us. Jesus Christ is speaking to us to let us know.
11:40 Child, son, my son, my brother, you will lose your reward. Isn’t it a good thing? Somebody wants you. Don’t go to that area there.
11:49 There is a pit, there’s a hole, there’s a bush full of vipers, snakes, poisonous cobras are there. Don’t go there. Oh, he’s telling me not to go there.
11:57 Oh, he’s telling me not to go there. Depriving me of going to that area. He wants me to take a long route and go.
12:05 Bypass all the houses and go the other side. Isn’t he saving us? Therefore, God’s orders, God’s laws are a prescription day. The Bible says authoritative prescription, brothers and sisters.
12:18 Now you see, there are times people say, pray for me, brother. Pray for me, Pastor, pray for me. You have to say, I will pray for you, brother.
12:25 Why? They are hoping for support. We need to give comfort. We need to strengthen them.
12:33 But to how we say, I pray to Jesus Christ for you, brother. Jesus Christ will settle you. Something like that.
12:40 Bring Jesus Christ into the picture. Brother and sister. Don’t say, I’ll just pray.
12:44 I’ll pray for you. I’ll pray for you. Then the faith and hope in the person’s heart may fall to you, may bring to you the faith and hope in the person’s heart may go towards you.
12:56 You may be a pastor, you may be a servant, you’re my disciple, you’re my sister, you my brother. But you know what? God begins to hate people who are stealing his glory. He hates, you know, he hates the word.
13:08 He hates you. He will not allow anybody to share his glory. Well, let’s have some reverent fear of Christ, reverent fear of God and begin to train our heart and mind to speak like this when somebody comes up, please pray for me, brother.
13:23 The suffering and all. I’ll pray for you, brother and sister, to Jesus Christ and Jesus Christ. Hope in Jesus Christ will never fail.
13:30 You also pray, brother. I will stand in agreement. You tell them you also pray because they are also children.
13:35 Of God. God listens to their prayers. Now if you say we pray, we pray.
13:40 It has become also many times a fad, a fashion. Everybody wants somebody else to pray. They’re not praying for themselves.
13:47 They’re acting just like in any of the religions. Put some money and somebody will pray for you. Oh, send so many dollars to this tower of prayer tower somewhere and somebody will pray for you.
13:56 The team of prayer, prayer tower, people praying. But Jesus wants you. He’s you, his child.
14:02 He wants you to call on Him. Can you imagine? I have Praise Jesus Christ. Now, let’s say now I not let’s say I have four children.
14:11 Let us say one child keeps on coming and asking. On behalf of the remaining three, I’ll start asking why the other three don’t speak to me. They don’t come to speak to their Father.
14:23 Why they always send you to come and ask me things? Are they not my children? Oh, this one special. You favour this one. God already clearly said he doesn’t favour men.
14:34 One by one. He shows no favoritism. It’s not partial towards anyone.
14:39 Jesus Christ made it clear. God’s Father made it clear. He’s not partial.
14:43 He doesn’t take favoritism. Human beings may, but God doesn’t. And he wants you, if you are his child, he wants you to call him above father in the name of Jesus Christ.
14:54 He wants you to call him brothers and sisters now. So when you have to even tell the people, I will pray for you brother or sister, you have to add in Jesus Christ and tell them to go to Jesus Christ and maybe write a prayer for them. Create a
prayer for them.
15:08 You go to the graceoflife.com there are prayers there you can take and start praying. Yes. Two or three gathered in his name.
15:14 Yes. One chases 1,000, two chases 10,000, three chases 100,000. Go on.
15:19 So together there’s big power. Yes, but it is Jesus Christ who is settling us. Let’s not now take the glory from him and then lose our reward from Him.
15:29 Brothers and sisters, it’s the same thing here. So when you pray quietly and when you see something has happened, you just thank Jesus in your heart. Thank you Lord Jesus.
15:41 Not for answering my prayer. Thank you, Lord Jesus. You settled this child of God.
15:45 You settled this follower. You settled this brother. You settled this sister.
15:50 Thank you Lord. You’re grateful. You make your heart grateful for that.
15:53 Brother and sister are well, not. Oh, Jesus answered my prayer. We expect our prayers to be answered.
16:00 He is our God. He is our Father. So therefore, brothers and sisters, today.
16:05 Be very careful. And the Bible starts off by saying, be very careful not to do your good deeds in public. Don’t go and begin to say, I pray for you and all that’s publicly getting reward and losing the reward from Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
16:17 In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray, amen.
