00:00 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Brothers and sisters, today the power of Christ Daily 30 January 2016, a Saturday titled Worldly funeral Rituals. Worldly funeral rituals. Brothers and sisters.
00:14 Many times I have mentioned that today I started last night. We got rid of all the things before sleeping, the anger and all that. If not the spirit of anger will be waxing your spirit all night long.
00:27 Your body may be sleeping, but your spirit man is fighting the demonic forces. Spirit of anger. Spirit of anger will harm us.
00:35 Anything that’s left there. The spirit will be harming you. Health will go.
00:40 All this unnecessary. God has given us. Jesus Christ has given us the power to cast out these things.
00:45 Power to overcome our heart and mind and to be right with Christ, to be pleasing in his sight. Now what we have to do, we have to strive for another level of this. For instance, the Spirit of God, Holy Spirit is in you.
00:59 And he will convict you when you’re going wrong. When something happens, he’ll convict you. There will be a stress in your spirit.
01:04 There will be a disturbance in your spirit. There will be something that bothers you. Then you know you have to stop.
01:12 Stop. Stop doing whatever you are doing. Stop and examine yourself and clear it.
01:17 And clear it. Ask for forgiveness. He is a good God.
01:20 Jesus Christ is a holy God. God, good God. He loves you.
01:24 He loves you and he’s died on the cross for you. He’s not now going to just chuck you away. No.
01:30 He’ll never leave you or forsake you. But we should not continue doing something and running away from him. No, we stay with him.
01:36 And when you are disturbed, talk to him. Talk to him. Like talking to a person who you can see, but you’re talking to him.
01:43 Talk audibly, even quietly in your room. Talk to him. Lord Jesus.
01:48 I’m sorry, Lord. I feel distressed. I’m not sure what it is.
01:52 I’m sure must be something the Holy Spirit are convicting me. Holy Spirit, make me know what it is so I can confess. I want to confess.
01:59 I want to clear this. I want to settle with the people. So this is an ongoing thing throughout the day.
02:06 Because whenever. And suddenly, if you are following Christ, it will not be happening so many times. You will not be doing so many wrongs, going lesser and lesser and lesser.
02:15 Finally, in between, suddenly stress. Then you know you have to settle some things initially, of course, you may be actually doing so many times the Holy Spirit is convicting you or whatever. Because you just came into the Lord, into Jesus Christ,
the Lord.02:29 You have allowed the Holy Spirit to convict you. But after that it will go less and lesser and lesser because you immediately will say sorry brother, sorry sister, sorry sir, or whatever. And continue and don’t want to offend people.
02:40 You want to believe in Christ. One of the biggest thing is we keep on reading newspapers and news articles and all coming from TV and all, always withdrawing, crushing your faith, taking your faith out of Christ and putting it what the world is
saying. In the economy this happened.02:55 The politicians take this. These two political parties are arguing or whatever. And then you are forced to in your heart you begin to take some strikes.
03:03 Don’t take strikes, leave it be. Have your faith in Christ. Do not put your faith in man.
03:09 That’s commanded by Jesus Christ. But, but if you put your faith in man, oh, I support this political party. Yes, but finally the political parties are human beings.
03:18 They too make mistakes. Your faith has only been Christ. Now the two political parties may be arguing, quarreling and all.
03:26 They all want one person want to think they can rule the place better, that particular country better or whatever. But when the circumstances change, they have no control because Satan is the ruler of the world. Satan.
03:36 So leave all this behind. You want righteousness, peace and joy to keep your health, to keep your family properly. You live a humble life.
03:44 Jesus will see you through. Now, today, the worldly funeral rituals. Now brothers and sisters, yesterday because of time we couldn’t complete a few things.
03:52 One of which is remember there is no Jew or Gentile. God says there is now no Galatians 3:28 says Galatians 3:28. I am reading from the Catholic edition.
04:05 There is no longer Jew or Greek. Jew or Greek means Greek. Last time is a reference to unbeliever Jew or Greek.
04:05 There is no longer slave or free. There is no longer male and female. For all of you are one in Christ Jesus.
04:18 There is only one Christian. That is why the Bible the verse is saying to us, don’t follow any custom, follow what Jesus Christ has said. So therefore there’s whether to bury or cremate.
04:32 There is no instruction there. And I said everyone is destined to die once. And then I said judge.
04:39 But you’re not involved in the decision making process as to whether you’re not involved in what they’re going to do with your body. And you’re not bothered now you’re with Christ. Now, brothers and sisters, now also remember in the Jew custom,
people generally buried.04:55 But Also remember in 1 Samuel 31:12, the Bible is clear. Saul and his son, sons, King Saul, you know, and his sons, they were Killed by the Philistines. When they were killed by the Philistines.
05:08 The Philistines, the Israelites. I better read this. 1st Samuel 31:12.
05:17 All the brave men stood and walked all night and they took the bodies of Saul and his sons from the wall of Bashan and they came to Jabesh. Jabesh and cremated them there. Cremated, amplified cremated them there.
05:35 So there are cases in the Old Testament among the cremated because the theologians say they cremated them. That because they’re afraid the Philistines may take the body and desecrate the body more and more, you know, put it on poles and make an
example of them or whatever. So they’re afraid of that.05:51 So they cremated them. So that issue issue simple brothers and sisters, do not bother about. There’s no command for bearing or cremation this one.
06:03 Leave it to each one. Jesus, God is whatever impossible for man is possible for God. And a lot of apostles and disciples have also been burned to death and all that.
06:16 Okay, now that’s clearly yesterday. Now today, today the issue is worldly funeral rituals. This is even worse.
06:24 What has happened is Satan is the ruler of the world. So what he does, he must withdraw your faith out of Christ and put into something else. Take your faith out of Christ and put into something else.
06:35 So that’s what is out to. As long as they can do that, your faith will reduce and your faith will go into some of the activities and some of the customs. Now one of the things that people do, let’s take some Chinese funerals and even Christian
Chinese funerals.06:51 Some of them do not know what they’re doing. So what happens? They burn things in the Chinese funerals. Actually they believe if they burn paper made bicycles, paper made cars, sometimes they make the scape of Mercedes Benz and they burn all that.
07:04 And believing that this is all follow the soul to heaven and the soul can use it. Now that is a bondage. But we all came from bondages.
07:13 So I’m not condemning anyone here. I used to do all kinds of funny things. Now having said that, next thing is this.
07:20 So these worldly customs will catch you. And you may come from a tradition of set worldly customs and rituals, funeral rituals. And why is this devil allowing this or doing this? So that it can suck the money out.
07:33 Suck the money out of the next generation. The people who are alive now. So a father passes away.
07:39 People use whatever the money. First of all, the hospitals bills would have been tremendous. Already there are many hospitals, as I told you would have just gone and say give you Hope, false hope or whatever go on and on and on.
07:51 And then some chemotherapy. Thousands of dollars per vial of injection or whatever going on and all went into debts. And then they have to do this again.
08:00 Then when they do this, it can be thousands of dollars. Now one of the customs that I’m familiar with is the Nigerian situation, whereby I know several Nigerians, my son in law is a Nigerian. So thank Jesus he is aware of these things.
08:17 Now these Nigerian customs, they keep the body for so long, people are poor, you know, they’re not all well to do. But they want to make sure that and they keep for months. They want to make things ready.
08:29 Some of them keep for several months. And it’s a costly thing in Nigeria. Why? Because they have to have the morgue, they have to have these private places where they can keep the body frozen.
08:39 They need double generators and all that people can’t afford. They have to pay monthly thousand dollar bills or whatever. They have to keep pouring that.
08:46 And then they want the custom or everybody to bear the same dress. They’ll be making, sewing dresses, they’ll be making suits. All this sucks the money out of the living.
08:56 That is the game plan of this Satan. Satan’s game plan is okay. He has already destroyed this soul.
09:03 Now to destroy others they were living make them poor. As long as the Satan can keep people poor, then the poor also will commit sin. It’s not only hard for the rich man to get to heaven, it’s also hard for the poor man to get to heaven.
09:17 Because every day he’s seeking out a living and he’s tempted so many ways to get money. So because of this, the game plan of this satanic Satan, the world ruler of the world, is to make people, keep people bondaged and captive by. And he said many
Christians do this.09:37 Now first of all, let’s look at the word of God first. John 2, 15, 17. Do not love the world or the things in the world.
09:47 If anyone loves the world, the love of Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life is not of the Father, but of but is of the world. And the world is passing away and the last
of it.10:03 But he who does the will of God abides forever. Now you know from this scripture alone that it’s not good following worldly customs. But they are so stuck.
10:13 They are afraid the people will condemn them if they don’t do this. Or people condemn what these children didn’t care about their father. The Father has done so much for them.
10:13 They are afraid of this condemnation from this world. And then so they afraid and they end up falling. This custom is still going on among Christians.
10:31 And then impoverishing them, keeping them captive. And it’s a tiring thing to do this, you know, this kind of. It’s a very tiring thing.
10:39 Can you imagine, brothers and sisters? So this goes on. So now I’m begging any Nigerian brother or sister listening to this, take a stand. You have to take a stand for what is right.
10:51 That is not right. It’s actually if you want to follow your disciple of Christ. Christ says what? That bury the dead.
11:01 Of course he said that. He’s trying to say what? He’s letting us know that the burial thing is not a big issue. Leave it be.
11:09 Because everybody is destined to die once and thereafter judgment. Now I beg you, brothers and sisters, use the money, the wage. If you.
11:18 If they meditate and ask Jesus Christ, Lord, do I spend this money on this kind of things in this funeral? Do you really think the spirit of God will say yes? Put on the same uniform, make all dresses for everybody, 20 people, all same wearing same.
Let’s do all the songs and dance and going on and on. Keep the body for months at an end in the funeral parlor or in the morgue or whatever.11:23 Do you really think that Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, Jesus Christ will say this? The Spirit of God will say this to you? No. So you. But why you do it? Because sometimes our hearts want it.
11:54 Sometimes our hearts are afraid. People condemn us. That’s why we end up following some of the worldly things.
11:59 Because why we are afraid? Do not be afraid. Fear not. Jesus Christ says fear not.
12:06 Now remember, everyone is responsible for your own. Now that person thank Jesus Christ, prayerfully, hopefully, mercifully, must be with Jesus Christ. Now the living are committing sin.
12:20 The living are committing sin by having these kind of things. Now remember, everyone is responsible for, accountable for their own thing. Galatians 6:5.
12:30 Solely accountable. So now what do we do? That is why, brothers and sisters, today Satan has many, many plans. He has moved into every area.
12:42 He is the God of this world. Actually small God, God of this world. Our Father calls him God of this world.
12:50 The Bible says he is a God of this world. If he is a God of this world, can you imagine how many tricks he will have? But he has no power over a Christian, but a Christian to have power over Satan. But to do that, the Christian must be abiding in
Christ.13:04 If you abide in me and My words abide in you. If you abide in me and my words abide in you, then you are my disciples. And then you are my disciples.
13:19 Then you obey what my commandments Are you my disciples? Then you know the truth. And truth will set you free. So you can only know the truth.
13:27 You begin to abide in the Word. Keep on knowing the Word and following the word. Oh yes, we can do powerful worship songs.
13:36 And now this drum business again. Drum. There’s a focusing day, a lot of music focus coming on.
13:43 Now remember, as I said, you can do very good to your flesh. But let’s ask this question again for ourselves. To be sincere, if a truthful Christian, let’s ask this question to ourselves.
13:54 Do you really imagine the apostles in the first hundred years or so, Apostles Peter, Paul, James, Jude, John, were going around and having these music sessions everywhere. Ask yourself this. Or were they going around and convicting people of sin and
saying, God is good, Jesus Christ is holy.14:17 Turn to him. He washed away your sins and you become the child of God. The power to become child of God.
14:23 You have been given the power to be the sons of God. Those who believe now with the power, what you do, you use the power and act as children of God. Use the power and act as children of God.
14:34 Brothers and sisters, today these things you must be watchful. Do not love the world or things in the world. If you love the world, the love of Father is not in him.
14:44 So if the world now who is going to condemn you? Even in the funeral rituals and all this, the world. The world will condemn you. The world condemns you.
14:50 The world will surely condemn you. Then you are doing something right. That is a sign.
14:57 If the world condemns you, then something right. But two or three followers of Christ tell you, don’t do this, don’t do that. But it’s difficult because you are in a.
15:08 The whole church world in a certain area may be doing this. And then how so, brother, you have to stand out as light, salt and light. You be the salt and light.
15:19 Take a stand for Christ and saying that I have to care for the living the devil. I will not let the devil suck. Make the people who I care for fastest, you take a stand.
15:24 I will not allow the devil to impoverish my people whom I care for. I’m entrusted. The souls of me entrusted to me.
15:39 I’m not. I’m going to care for. Yes, many will leave.
15:41 Maybe even some may leave the church. Many may even leave the church. But that’s not your call.
15:46 It’s not your church. The souls are not yours. You are a caretaker, you are under shepherd.
15:52 So now you have to make the stand. If the pastors don’t make the stand and say, this is not on, this is actually a way of the devil sucking away, making people more impoverished. And then for years, then another funeral will come.
16:07 Oh, I’ve seen this disaster, you know, sad, you know, because one funeral comes soon after another. Something happens in the family, somebody else passes away and this same thing goes on. They suck up, they sell land.
16:21 They have to sell land to support these funerals. So finally, what is the devil doing? Sucking up the assets that the parents have built up over through blood and sweat and toil. So this the way of the devil.
16:33 So, pastors, you have to take a stand. Yes, people will condemn you, but that is the calling. The world will condemn you.
16:40 If the world doesn’t condemn you. I think you are part of the world. Brothers and sisters, today let us start and stand for Christ.
16:46 Let us examine ourselves. Pastors in Nigeria, I’m begging you, those who are hearing, I’m begging you, I’m begging you, make a stand. Make a stand for Christ.
16:55 In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, I pray amen.

00:01 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Brothers and sisters, today the power of Christ Daily 29 January 2016 to bury or cremate brothers and sisters, let’s remind ourselves as we examined ourselves last night as to what we did, what didn’t do. Ask Jesus
Christ for forgiveness and ask Jesus Christ for mercy and that will change everything. Today mercies are new every morning and therefore this is a very important exercise.00:29 I find that those who do not examine themselves and then they get into a lot of trouble After a while, step by step, Satan begins to tempt their hearts. And step by step they fall into sin. Step by step become a captive again and they lose a lot.
00:45 Now, first of all, the devil comes many many ways. Become a. Uses fear of people, uses pride.
00:52 He uses pride, he uses shame to stop confessing. He’ll use all kinds of things to tempt our heart. Temptation.
01:01 How does temptation come when we are drawn by our own heart? Our heart wants to be proud. Then we are drawn there. And then the thing damage.
01:08 And I’ve seen this damage again and again, not good. It damages both on earth and finally our position in heaven is questioned because we may reject Christ finally. Don’t do this.
01:21 Examine ourselves and get our things right with Christ. Brothers and sisters, today the question is marry or cremate. This is a very critical issue because over the years this became concreted in people’s hearts, concreted in the mind, concrete in
the hearts of people.01:38 So much so they panic as to, you know, years ago, I’m talking about say 15 years ago and I’m listening to people, they wouldn’t want to come to the congregation I’m ministering. Why? They say you don’t have land to bury the dead. I don’t have land.
01:54 He said, yes. So I don’t have land to bury the dead now. So they rather be the huge congregations or huge churches because they believe that if they are not buried in a plot of land, in a Christian plot of land, they won’t go to heaven.
02:12 Can you imagine the bondage? Can you imagine the bondage? So it’s a pity. That is why before there are a number of things like this the devil uses to capture people, keep them as captives. So they are under the belief they are doing sin.
02:29 You know, they have unforgiveness their heart against their parents or sons or daughters or somebody other son in law, whatever. They can’t forgiveness, all that they will have. But the only question is, can I be buried when I’m dead in a Christian
plot of land? And if you cannot provide me the burial plot of land.02:47 I cannot come to your church. They’ll say not my church is Jesus congregation. But they’ll say that.
02:53 And I know one particular instance. Everything that the woman wants to follow. Finally, because of this I don’t want to come.
03:00 Don’t want to come. I felt sorry for the person. But horses and that.
03:05 Imagine this, the Bible. First of all we must know the precept of Christ. Remember there are two things there.
03:14 One is the Old Testament and the other one is the New Testament. The New Testament is a better covenant in Christ. Christ God has the covenant by suffering, shedding blood, dying on the cross, going into hell and being raised up by the spirit of
God, the Holy Spirit.03:29 Because Jesus Christ believed his Father that his Father will not let him be in Let your soul be in soul. Let your soul be in grave let your soul be in hell. Believe that and that belief that faith.
03:41 Of course Father God could then send the Holy Spirit to bring Jesus up. So our faith is only dependent on his faith, on Jesus Christ’s faith. All we need to do is believe on the faith of Jesus Christ what he has done.
03:54 And we believe on what he has done for us. Everything will settle. We are not even required to generate a lot of faith within us to settle things.
04:03 Settle, healing settle. No your those of you following the pocd those in the in the POCD non posting will not be seeing all this. But those on the posting side.
04:16 We’re not talking about free posting. Free posting people post all kind of things. We are not there, we’re talking about posting but posting only this thing calling for prayers.
04:27 Somebody is not well and and issues regarding the testimonies with respect to the POCD message itself. That kind of POC1 POCD2 that are posting that you see that when somebody becomes so seriously ill, you find that when people get to pray, the
people have been healed by Jesus mercy of mercy of Christ. That’s so sorry this flu is lingering than Jesus Christ of Nazareth.04:58 Now the issue is now we must know the precept of Christ. The nature of Christ. Not just know some scripture or what somebody has told over the years and it become concreted in us.
05:11 If that’s the case, you do not know Christ. You know of Christ. You only know what people have told you means you know of Christ.
05:18 You do not know Christ. To know Christ, you must know the nature of Christ. You must have relationship with Christ.
05:23 You are talking to Jesus Christ and he is talking to you. He is guiding you through the spirit of God. And you know, miracles are happening in your life.
05:30 Maybe they’re simple, simple miracles, but these are just miracles. Because a simple car park, you can’t get a car park. And you talk of Jesus and say, lord, your word says whatever you ask us.
05:40 Think, Lord, I need this car park. In Jesus Christ’s name, I command the car park to come or whatever. And then it happens.
05:47 So when you begin to do things like that, and then you begin to walk in the Spirit, only then you can get out of this kind of problem. That’s why Jesus Christ says, my people perish for lack of knowledge. Without knowledge, they perish.
05:58 People abuse them. Now, so what are the precepts that we need to know? First of all, we need to know that we need to work out our own salvation with fear and trembling. Fear, awe, divine.
06:11 This is in Philippians 2:12. Work up your own salvation, I.e. cultivate, bring it to full effect.
06:17 Actively pursue spiritual maturity. Working out the salvation is actively pursuing spiritual maturity with awe, inspired fear and trembling, using serious caution and self critical self evaluation to avoid anything that might offend God or discredit
the name of Christ. Now of course, self evaluation examination.06:38 That is what working out our salvation means. Work critical is self evaluation. Actively pursuing spiritual maturity.
06:46 Now. Galatians 6:5. I’m reading my amplified.
06:50 I am alone responsible for what I do, what my faults are, what my shortcomings. For every person will have to bear with patience his own burden. The burden of sin, burden of faults, burden of shortcomings.
06:50 I am alone responsible. Hebrews 9:27 that means you must take accountability. You can’t depend on the Az I said or Chrissy Lut said.
07:10 What’s the use? You have to take accountability. Jesus wants you. You are his child.
07:15 He wants you to take accountability. I’ve mentioned this before. I have four children.
07:19 Four children. If one keep on asking favors for the remaining three I say, why the other three no mouth to speak? They don’t speak to me. They hate me.
07:26 Is it they don’t come talk to me or each one must come and talk their own things. Praise the Lord Jesus Christ. In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray that we will understand this.
07:36 I pray the eyes of understanding opens to everybody today on this the princeps of Christ. Hebrews 9:27 it is appointed and destined for all men to die once. And after this comes certainly judgment.
07:51 Hebrews 9:27 and just as it is appointed, it is appointed. It is already written down and destined for all men to die once. And after this comes certain judgment.
08:03 So Died, finished. Judgment. Matthew 8:22.
08:08 But Jesus said to him, follow me. Let the dead bury the dead. Let the dead bury the dead.
08:16 Now, sometimes they will say, yeah, of course, the dead buried the dead. He’s trying to impress upon people following him is more important than the burial part. Let the dead bury the dead.
08:26 Because one man here would have told that, you know, I’ll follow you. But you know, I wait for my father, who’s old, to bury my father and then follow you. Why, the customer will be the eldest son, or somebody must do something, isn’t it? When the
father in the family dies.08:41 So he will say, give me time. There’s no time. When Jesus said, follow me, you follow now.
08:47 Now follow me as a master and teacher and Lord and master and Savior. Allow the spiritually dead to. Now, here, of course, they put a bracket.
08:56 Spiritually dead to bury the dead. Now, Romans 14:23, whatever is not buried, done from faith is sin. That means whatever we do must be done in faith.
09:07 Faith of Jesus Christ. Faith in Jesus Christ, brothers and sisters. Now let’s look at these few things.
09:12 There are few precepts. There are many more precepts of Christ. First, he’ll only make you accountable for what you are responsible for.
09:18 Whatever you have done, whatever you have, your fault, your shortcoming, all that I am responsible right now. Appointed, destined for all men to die once after my death. That’s it.
09:29 Immediately judgment. My actions do not continue because my body has died. And now judgment.
09:36 Now, listening to this, listening to these few scriptures, let’s look at what has happened. Jesus Christ clearly will not hold you accountable for what you don’t do, Whatever you do, only you’ll be accountable. Whatever I do, only I’ll be
accountable.09:55 Now, after when I died, my body has died. Am I accountable for whatever people do with my body? Yeah, I can write that. Bury my body, or even cremate my body.
10:06 I don’t know. I’m not going to bother. You know why? In my case, I said, I am not responsible.
10:13 Accountable. After my body dies, full stop. So whatever people do after that, Jesus Christ, the perfect judge, the perfect justice, perfect love, will not hold that against me.
10:31 Will not hold that against me. So whatever I do is done in the world. While I’m alive, I’m dead.
10:41 No more. No more counting. I’m not responsible for those actions.
10:45 I can give instructions. So what, you think people will follow? They may follow, they may not follow, depending on their circumstances. Now you see the situation.
10:54 So people say, if you bury, then the dust to dust now cremate means ash. Go become ash. Jesus Christ can’t get a body for you in the second coming.
11:05 Hey, what is impossible for man is possible for God. Don’t worry about that. First of all, you just go there.
11:10 You think Jesus Christ, the perfect judge, the perfect love, will hold you accountable for something you didn’t do? No way. No way. He loves you, he loves you, he loves you, he loves you.
11:24 He’s not going to hold you accountable for something you didn’t do. Now even there, let the dead bury the dead. It’s because of course, spiritually they say, don’t bother about that.
11:34 Don’t borrow dead business and burying business. You follow me? That’s all? No. So we follow him.
11:40 We follow him. So whatever happened to my body after that? Not constant. Now you know how many disciples were burned when they were persecution? They were burned to death.
11:54 Burned. They were put in an iron bull with a side door. They throw all the disciples inside there.
12:01 If they do not want to recant Christ, do not want to reject Christ, they put them there and light the fire under and they all be screaming and they burn to death inside the iron bull. Now what about war zone? People are burned to death. What about
fire? People are burned to death.12:18 So what happened to them? So therefore it is not a question of burying a cremate. You know, in Hong Kong, I understand that the land becomes so expensive burial flood so much, so many people are burying their dead standing. That means the body is
standing.12:32 Because they can use as little space as possible, not lying down because the land is not there. Now what happens in the bad places in the slums of the world, when tortured or even in large disasters, people may just cremate entire bodies to avoid
the sickness, the plague or whatever. But that is not you who’s doing this.12:58 People are doing this after your death. You are not accountable for this. Jesus Christ is not going to have you accountable for this.
13:07 And so there are people in bondage. I must have a plot of land to be buried, then only I can go to heaven. All these are lies.
13:14 Not true. And there are people using plenty of scriptures. They’ll put you know and complete out of context.
13:20 So they won’t quote the scriptures. They quote the numbers only. Plenty of numbers of scriptures and tell you.
13:26 Look here, Jesus Christ, Father God always talked about burying. So you must bury, otherwise you have offended Christ. In fact, the apostles say, Dan, there are only four things.
13:38 The Gentiles that mean those non Jews coming to the Lord, make sure they only do four things. Let’s not burden them. One, keep them away from sexual immorality.
13:46 Two, keep them away from idolatry. Keep them away from strangled animals. Don’t eat.
13:51 And then keep them away from blood. Do not consume blood. That’s what apostles got.
13:56 The apostles, they made a decree and they wrote it down in the book of Acts. You see, twice they were mentioning this brothers and sisters, therefore you must know the precept of Christ. Precept of Christ.
14:08 You know how many disciples were all tortured and burned to death. You know how many Christians would have been burned in war zones and all that. So brothers and sisters, this is all the work of government to bondage you, to keep you under
captivity.14:25 Again, I repeat, once you are dead, God doesn’t hold you. Jesus Christ doesn’t hold you accountable for what you do. Because you’re not doing anything.
14:31 It’s judgment time. Judgment time. So please.
14:34 And secondly, if you believe these kind of things, then you are not having faith in Christ. You’re not having faith in Christ. You’re being a bondage.
14:42 You’re being captive. And the number of large organizational churches will hold this captive. They’ll use this maybe to keep you there.
14:50 Hey. Some. Some in the congregation high minister may not reach heaven.
14:56 I won’t know. Only Jesus can decide this. Some in the large organization also some won’t reach or many may not reach because they do not have.
15:06 They do not know Christ. They know of Christ. They have.
15:08 Religious activity may be going on. So only Jesus Christ will know this. Our desire.
15:13 Each of you, including my desire, what God given me. The work is to make you have a relationship with Christ. To know Christ more and more become so close with Christ.
15:22 It’s Jesus. Jesus. Jesus Christ.
15:25 Christ idolize him like that. The way you know football fan, like a fan. The fan comes from word fanatic.
15:32 Why let’s be fanatic for Jesus Christ. Why be fanatic for the world? Let’s be a Jesus fan means Jesus fanatic. But these fancy terms we don’t need.
15:40 We need to be awe and reverence to love Jesus Christ with all our heart, mind, soul and strength. But before we go into any of these things, make sure you understand the precept of Christ. The precept of Christ.
15:53 He wants you to keep the temple of God holy. He wants to give the temple of God holy. And that one nobody cares.
15:59 They care about the plot of land because how bondage only pity. Really sorry. Pity.
16:05 Pity because they keep people in bondage and they don’t let people. And some of them do not check the scriptures, they my people perish for lack of knowledge. Today, brothers and sisters, always look for the preserve of Christ.
16:22 The nature of Christ. The love of Jesus Christ. The love of Jesus Christ.
16:28 So as I said this. Bury or cremate? There’s no scripture saying to bury or to cremate. People are taking a lot of history put together.
16:36 This is your choice, but even that’s really not your choice. Let it be. Let people decide at a certain date.
16:43 Why are you concerned? Your judgment has come. Your body has died. You’re going home to Jesus.
16:48 In Jesus name I pray, Amen.

00:00 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Brothers and sisters, today the power of Christ Daily 5th October 2015 titled I Sinned yesterday. I sinned yesterday. Brothers and sisters, this sin business is real.
00:17 Is real. Now, as I told you all, whenever I do something wrong or I say something wrong, people generally won’t correct me. Because why? Sometimes it will be too subtle for people to even imagine that there’s something wrong I’m doing or saying.
00:32 But also because people hold this thing, you’re a pastor and then you’ve been teaching them or whatever. But for me the correction has always been from the time I started, when God got me, from time to time it always been I’ll be sensitive to the
surroundings. How my wife’s countenance, how her spirit is, how my children spirit.00:53 Yesterday I was having lunch with my brother pastor and my wife. And there suddenly I’m talking, my words are coming out of my heart. What I’m talking about how great I am.
01:06 Not how great thou art, but how great I art. Now whatever I was saying is true. What is coming out is what I have done in the week or last week or whatever.
01:19 And it is true. But it is pride. It is pride is coming out.
01:24 It’s coming out with pride. I did this, I did that. Now I’m important now.
01:30 Now for many now be warned for this. Because many dismiss this as nothing. But immediately what happened, I saw my wife’s countenance change.
01:40 And also my brother pastor, my fellow pastor, his faith changed. Very slight changes. It used very hard to see until go God shows you.
01:50 So immediately it’s both. And at the same time, even before I saw their faces change at the same time, there was a pressure in my soul, a tension. The spirit of God is telling me this is pride.
02:02 You know, you’re boasting, you’re boasting, you’re bragging. Whatever. The fact I’m telling is a fact.
02:08 This all I’ve done, but it’s still boasting. Because I refuse to understand one thing my heart refuses to understand. All that I could do is because I was empowered.
02:19 Empowered to do by Jesus Christ of Nazareth, by his cross, by suffering on the cross. That is why he gave me a second life, even a third or fourth life. And now I able to do all this by his mercy.
02:31 I do all things through Christ Jesus. No, that is the heart doesn’t want to recognize that. My heart wants to recognize that I did it.
02:38 I did it. And so when I’m the word’s coming, that means deep inside there is Sitting down there, you know, I did it. So the worst coming out is that I did this, I did that.
02:48 One or two items only, but that was serious items. Literally saying, I’m a genius. Yeah, true, maybe even.
02:57 But who made you genius? Who made me genius? Who gave the ingenuity? Not recognized. Heart doesn’t want to recognize. My mind has not been converted.
03:06 My mind is converted, but my heart has not converted that area. It comes to the genius business suddenly, oh, I’m great. And then it bothered me.
03:14 And then in there itself, I’m trying to rectify it with one or two words, but it bothered me. I’m telling sorry Lord in my heart. And now, sorry, Lord, I don’t want this.
03:23 I want to be humble. Why I want to be humble. We know.
03:26 I know. I’ve been teaching this anyway how long I want to be humble because grace, grace for the humble and for the proud. What happens? Damnation, condemnation, finish.
03:40 But now why am I telling you this? Because this morning, you know, it’s been a long while since I got up at 4 something in the morning. Today I got up 4 something in the morning and I feel healthy. Thank Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
03:54 It’s been a long while with the haze and all that. I have not got up 4 something in the morning. Many times I’m getting up late at 7 today I got worth something, the money.
04:03 And I. When as soon as my consciousness came. Consciousness came back to me from the sleep. God is talking about this.
04:11 The spirit of God is telling and I know and I say, yes, Lord, Messed up, messed up, Lord. Then it’s my Father by the way. Remember, I’m not running away from him.
04:21 I say, father? Yes, Father. Messed up, Lord Jesus, I messed up. Messed up now.
04:26 Messed up already. Of course I repented immediately that time itself. But the thing is working there.
04:32 Why God still brings this up this morning to me, first thing in the morning I woke up. Consciousness comes back into me from my sleep. And this is the thing sitting there and dwelling.
04:42 And the Spirit of God is dealing with me. Why? He wants me to be presented as a chaste virgin to Christ. He wants my soul to be presented as a chaste virgin to Christ.
04:55 So he wants everything out, every item, every deposit of sin to be out, anything of pride to be completely out. And it has to be out from time to time, from issue to issue. Now, some will say it’s nothing.
05:10 No, it is very big thing. Brothers and sisters better understand if any of you are thinking this is nothing like you just break the big no, you all do not understand those who are thinking like this do not understand the problem here. Do not
understand that the the terrible consequences that we harm ourselves to the point.05:21 Do not understand any bit of pride anything that about you. That is why the fundamental Scriptures remember all the time God reminds us what God opposes. The proud gives grace to the humble.
05:41 That is James 4, 6, 2 Corinthians 13:5. If examine ourselves, examine ourselves, test ourselves. 2nd Corinthians 13:5 Galatians 6:3.
05:52 If anyone thinks himself to be something when he’s nothing, he deceives himself. So if my heart is thinking I’m something, I’m actually deceiving myself. Though the consequences will take off.
06:04 It is not a simple matter of just small matter. What you said is true. There is a bit of braggart.
06:10 Okay, I say sorry, go on. No, the thing sitting down there in my heart. So I must now deal with it and may raise again.
06:17 I do not know. I will come to the Scriptures later. And if I think I know something, I do not know as I ought to know as yet.
06:24 Brothers and sisters, this thing people think the first sin is in the Garden of Eden where Adam, where Eve was tempted and fell into sin. No, the first sin of all ages is in the heaven when Lucifer became prideful. Pride is the first sin.
06:47 It’s not that the situation in the Garden of Eden, where Satan went and tempted Eve. There was a temptation issue involved with Eve. For Lucifer, there was no temptation involved.
06:59 He decided, I want to be higher. I want to be higher than all. I want all worship to myself.
07:00 I want to be like God or God. So now. So whatever in our heart that produces this kind of thinking, this kind of thought about you wanting to be good.
07:00 I want to be great. I want to tell about how great you are. Our heart doesn’t want to remember.
07:19 You are only great because he made you great. Now the fact that I am telling you today that itself can be pride, I have to check. Because when God is telling me, I dealt.
07:29 Yes, Lord. Yes, Lord. Today I wanted to deal with false prophets and false thing.
07:34 In the night I was thinking about this. But in the morning, my God, the husband of my soul, telling me, go and tell them you sinned and tell them how they’ll get out of it. How you get out of it.
07:44 How I love you, how I wash you your sin and change you from glory to glory. So I’m telling you this now, this alone. I have to check.
07:51 I have to check. What am I telling you to show? Hey, you see how humble I Am now how humble I am. Now I confess my sin, you know, is that what my heart is thinking? I have to check this.
08:03 Why my heart may want to do that. You know, in preaching, suddenly tell something so that people think, you know, what a great pastor this man humble, he confesses, hey, I may confess, but my heart may not be humble. This is what you have to check,
brothers and sisters.08:21 You may say things very humble. That’s false humility. God calls it Bible says, false humility.
08:28 We act humble, we say things humble, we say things gently and softly. But inside our heart it is wicked. Now, what are the scriptures that allow what I need to teach today? God is bringing out Romans 7, 15, 17.
08:44 Just 15 17. Two verses 16. I’m not dealing because it doesn’t affect us right now.
08:49 Romans 7:15. I’m using the Catholic edition. Apostle Paul saying, you know, I do not understand my own actions, for I do not do what I want to do, but I do the very thing I hate.
09:05 Paul, no, I do not understand my own actions. He doesn’t understand his own actions, for I do not do what I want to do, but I do the very thing I hate. Now, brother sisters, that is 15.
09:20 I know I hate pride. Why? Pride killed me before. Already I was close to death when Jesus saved me.
09:27 Pride cost me all that. I know that pride against God, pride against God, you know, thinking I will do my way. What is that pride? Anyone of us do not want to obey the word of God is pride against God.
09:39 Better remember, anyone who does not want to do the love your neighbor as yourself. Those who want to think, examine and do that, humble themselves to do this. You will not live.
09:50 God said that in Luke. Okay, in Luke 10, 26, 28. If anyone says doesn’t want to do.
10:00 If you do love your neighbor as yourself, you will leave God. Love God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength. If you love God, you will do it.
10:06 And how you do it? By the power of Christ. In the name of Jesus Christ. By the blood of Jesus Christ.
10:12 You can do it. We can do it now. Of course, my Father has forgiven me.
10:16 I feel released. But morning he’s getting up. I know when I ask for forgiveness, he’s forgiven me.
10:21 Yesterday over lunch. But then he’s bringing this matter up. First thing when the consciousness came back.
10:27 The Spirit of God is dealing with me. Why? He wants me to be present as a chaste virgin to Christ. Now, brothers and sisters, this one.
10:33 Let’s look at this. So Apostle Paul is saying he doesn’t understand his own Actions. So yesterday I also don’t understand one actions why my heart is moving by itself.
10:43 Because now 17 but now it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me. So who was doing this yesterday? I am not doing it because I am a spirit being. I am a spirit being given life by Jesus Christ.
10:58 And Christ is in my spirit. Christ is in me. And the Spirit of God is in me.
11:02 And the Spirit of God has given me life. I am a spirit being. So who is doing this sin that dwells in me? Apostle Paul said in 17 so whenever you do sin, remember brother, you are not doing that.
11:16 Sin is dwelling in you and doing it. It’s in your heart. Sin is in your heart, then you have to get rid of it.
11:23 Glory to glory. For instance, what does a bride to be? I know what bride to be do. They have an engagement even before the engagement date, say three months later, they’re going to have engagement.
11:35 What they do, they make sure there are no pimples and this and that isn’t it. They begin to do. They maybe even try to drop some weight.
11:42 One or two inches off the waist. They do all that getting ready for the engagement. They want to present themselves as beautiful to the future husband.
11:52 So what happens? They deal with issues. They deal with their face, they deal with their body. They deal the hair, whatever.
11:59 Now, brothers and sisters, we deal with our souls. We deal with our souls. We want to present our soul as a chaste virgin to Christ.
12:08 So what we do? We get away once God tells us. Yes, Lord. Sorry.
12:12 Lord. Mercy. Lord, this is the biggest sin.
12:15 Everybody falls into it. Pride, pride. You better understand the check there now.
12:21 Sin that dwells in me. It’s no longer I who do it, Apostle Paul said, but sin that dwells with me. Now in 24 he’s saying same verse 7 Romans 724 O wretched man that I am.
12:34 O miserable man that I am. Who will deliver me from this body of death? Apostle Paul crying out. But then he answers after that Jesus Christ of Nazareth will deliver him.
12:42 Jesus Christ of Nazareth will deliver me. Jesus Christ of Nazareth will deliver you. Brothers and sisters, there is great hope.
12:51 There is great hope. That is why remember in Hebrews 4:12 we dealt with it. The discerner.
12:57 The word of God is a discerner, exposes the thoughts and intents of the heart. So because of the word of God opposes God opposes the proud. Give grace the humble.
13:09 Of course, that is popping straight, isn’t it? Oh, this pride. Now I am now grace. That’s why people say, I got grace, I am in grace.
13:16 I am in grace. But if they are prideful, there is no grace. Brothers and sisters, the grace of salvation has come.
13:23 But now, to get grace in living your life in graciousness, in grace of God, you need to be humble. Because God says he opposes the proud. So those of you who are thinking, thought wrongly, you got grace, you got grace.
13:37 Grace. They forget that if you are prideful, grace is not there. Grace for salvation has come, but grace for other things is not there.
13:47 Because God is opposing your actions. God is opposing action. That word of God has not changed.
13:54 And that word of God, brothers and sisters, it’s in James 4 is a new Testament. It is in the New Testament. It’s after where? After Christ died and rose again.
14:03 And the apostle James 4 is saying, God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble. Brothers and sisters, today understand this and some more. Then I’m thinking, why? How did it happen? Where is this thing sitting? Yeah, it’s been sitting there
a long time, looks like.14:18 And it may still be sitting there. I do not know. Some remnants of it, some fragments of this pride regarding I’m genius now.
14:27 Also, I’ve been ministering to a lot of people during the week. Lot of unbelievers even. And spirit transference can take place.
14:34 Spirit transference doesn’t mean the evil spirit from the outside world jumped into me. No, spirit transference, the characteristics bad company corrupts good character. But it can only do that.
14:44 If I’m drawn by my own heart desire, I’m done. How does temptation come? When I’m drawn by my own heart’s desire. That means there is a desire somewhere in my heart.
14:55 I must tell everybody I’m a genius. Not enough knowing that you’re a genius and genius. But not enough knowing that the genius or not came from Christ.
15:05 Without Christ, I’m a dumbo. Complete dumbo. But no, don’t want.
15:10 The heart doesn’t want to recognize that I’m saying I means I’m talking about the heart. The heart doesn’t want to recognize that. Heart wants to tell everybody you are genius and doesn’t want to give credit to God, doesn’t want to give glory to God
that wants to only say that I’m a genius.15:24 But the fact is the heart will not even exist. I will not exist without Jesus Christ. I’ve been given life, so how can you? And where does genius come only from God.
15:34 Where does wisdom come? Wisdom comes from God accepting God and crying out to him. And only wisdom comes from God. Every other worldly wisdom is foolishness.
15:44 Foolishness, brothers and sisters. So today let’s understand this. First focus on pride.
15:49 Everywhere you do, you will find that the heart is moving some pride. But remember who is doing this sin that dwells in you, the sin nature that dwells in you means dwells in your heart, the sin nature. So we have to deal with this.
16:05 That’s why instead of people talk about, you know, oh, this country going to, this country going that, forget about it. That country going to some trouble, prophecy after prophecy. Oh, turn from your wicked ways and all your stories.
16:16 Forget all that. Let’s change ourselves. Let’s change ourselves.
16:18 Let’s focus on changing ourselves and presenting our soul as a chaste virgin to Christ. That’s a wonderful thing for us to do today, every day. That’s a fantastic thing.
16:28 In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray Amen.

00:00 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Brothers and sisters, the message for power of Christ Daily for 26 August 2015 Christ in you. From Death Unto Life Part 2 From Death Unto Life Part 2. Now yesterday we dealt with
part one with a fantastic knowledge that we will know whether we are going to enter heaven or not.00:26 And we’ll enter heaven if we love our brothers just as Christ loved us. Just as Christ loved us or loved me. Now brothers and sisters.
00:36 Now sisters, you must remember. You must remember you are my brother in Christ. You are my brother in Christ.
00:41 It may seem so ridiculous to the world and the world understanding from the unspiritual mind to the unconverted mind. What nonsense am I talking about? You are my sister, but actually you are my brother. Because the
spirit man in you is my brother.00:57 Therefore Jesus is not ashamed to call you brother. Therefore, brothers and sisters, you are my brother and I must love you as Christ has loved me. Now this seems fantastic.
01:10 That’s an old song those of my generation would have heard from the picture called Love Story. Where do I begin? Where do I begin to tell the story of how great a love has been. Everything should remind us of Jesus
Christ.01:26 How great a love has been. What a great love that is human story. This God story.
01:33 The God in me, the God in you. A God who left his heavenly place to die on the cross and to be with us, to be in us. Now even this, to be able to love my brothers in Christ as God, Jesus Christ has loved me, is
simply done.01:54 Why he said this in Romans 8:29. Now remember, we must love. Otherwise, if we do not love, his warning is very clear.
02:03 If we do not love our brothers in Christ as Jesus loved us, then in 1 John 3:14 it is very clear that we are remaining in death. We are abiding in death and kept and held continuously held in spiritual death. But.
02:19 But if we love, by this fact, if we love, he says, we know by this fact that we love the brethren. When we love the brethren, we know we have passed over out of death, out of death, into life. We will enter heaven.
02:33 Heaven we are reaching. If you ask me, am I reaching heaven? Yes, by the mercy of the living God, I will reach heaven. Even that.
02:42 Not by my own works, not by me. I will not put faith in me. I will put faith in the love of God, love of Jesus Christ for me.
02:47 I will put in the faith of Jesus Christ in me. Therefore I can proudly touch also in humility to the word of God. I am proud of my God in humbleness to my word of my God.
03:06 And say to others, my God loves me. A God who loves me. And that too.
03:16 Let’s look at this. Romans 8:29 says, for whom he foreknew, he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son. He is going to do this for us.
03:29 Only he can do this for us, those who want Him. So do we want Jesus Christ. If you want Jesus Christ, it is a matter of asking.
03:39 Ask anything in my name, and I’ll do it for you. He repeated this and many times Jesus will say, I say and say again. Therefore you see me repeating when Jesus had to repeat, I must repeat in line with what Jesus
says.03:44 I say and say again. We are predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, whose predestining is Jesus Christ of Nazareth. The Spirit of God is doing this, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.
04:06 I am his brother, but I am his brother. Not because I can do this, not by my works, not because I am so holy. And start learning and praying and praying and praying and casting out.
04:18 Yeah, I have to do all that. But actually I have been transformed by Him. That is why.
04:26 How do we get this? He said, exercise, isn’t it exercise our faith. What is exercise? He says, exercise means continue to behold in the Word of God as if in a mirror of the glory of the Lord. So I keep looking at
the Word of God and I begin to see.04:42 There’s a mirror. And I must finally see me in that Word of God. Now, how do I do this? By meditating.
04:49 God says, Jesus says, meditate on this Word. As I begin to meditate and meditate, so what word will I meditate? That I must serve my brothers in Christ. As Christ has loved me, I must love my brothers in Christ.
05:03 I get up in the morning. I must remember Jesus Christ is in me, in the Spirit and my heart. He must be formed and molded into my heart, into my soul.
05:15 And I must love my brother as Jesus Christ loved me. How did he love me? He gave everything up for me. I must be willing to do that.
05:24 And I’ll command my heart and mind in the name of Jesus Christ. Now, as I keep doing this, I will remember in the morning, maybe when I’m having a meal, I take a drink of water. I’ll remember this as I beholding in
this Word.05:37 I keep looking at this Word, meditating on this Word. Now, what you do, you take the first person you know in the congregation you are in and the first person you know in the congregation who you have disliked. The
one you would want to meet, the one you want to hide away.05:57 Look at that person. Look at that person. Look at the person.
06:01 Now you have to decide this person is actually. Now you may decide from your carnality that this person is not in Christ. That’s not good.
06:10 So we will believe this person who is coming to church every Sunday or whatever, he wants to follow Christ. And he is lost. He is lost.
06:19 Why, poor person. We were also lost. We were lost.
06:24 So look at that. Unless he’s practicing sin, you know, then you run away. Then you run away, brothers and sisters, don’t be with them.
06:32 Because when you mix with this kind of thing, you are just. You may fall into sin because bad company will corrupt good character. God says, now therefore run away.
06:42 But you’re looking at somebody you don’t like. But if they’re not practicing sin, they may fall into sin often on so though do we. So look at the person.
06:53 So the first person. Now you want to clear this person in your soul, in your spirit. You’re looking at this person every day, looking at the word of God that you will love this person as Christ has loved you.
07:03 You begin to meditate, begin to pray for this person, begin to say, lord, I want to love this person. And then you do something good. You go and wish the person, greet the person.
07:14 They may turn away from you because they are suddenly shocked at what they’re doing. That’s not the point. You say, lord, I want to love.
07:20 Lord, I want to Lord. Jesus Christ was loving and still continuing to Judas, who was stealing money on the basis. And Jesus knew Judas stealing.
07:31 Jesus didn’t get excited and say, hey, Judas, you are stealing. No, no, you continued, no problem. Why? Jesus is whole.
07:39 When you are whole, you don’t feel slighted. You feel slighted when you are not whole. So now as you begin to do this, what does God say? You will be transformed.
07:49 You will be transformed. Then what you do? You buy something, maybe invite for a drink, maybe maybe get a birthday card. I don’t know why.
08:00 Although the birthday business, I don’t believe why. I was known by Christ before the foundation of the world. That means I don’t know my real birthday.
08:09 I am a spirit being and I don’t know birthday. I only know the birth date of my flesh. My body was born on a certain date.
08:15 That date I know, but that date is useless because my body going to die and go into dust. But my real birthday, I am a spirit being. That birthday I do not know.
08:26 So since I do not know, I do not celebrate birthdays. Why, but do I celebrate other people’s birthday? I will go. I will go and have the cake and have the tea and rejoice with them because they do not know this
fact.08:38 Whether they are Christians or non Christians. I am willing to celebrate birthday with them. And then when they ask me about me, I say, no, I don’t celebrate birthdays.
08:45 I don’t celebrate why? Because I don’t know my birthday. Now that itself will be a talking piece. But you do it in humility, in humbleness.
08:57 I don’t know. I don’t celebrate birthday because, you know, I don’t know my birthday. I am a spirit being.
09:01 I am this, I am that. That’s pride. Humble.
09:04 I don’t celebrate birthday because I don’t know. Really, I don’t know. And I want to be humble to the Word of God.
09:09 And so I want to do something that feeds my flesh. Because my flesh was so fallen, I don’t want to feed my flesh. That is why I don’t celebrate birthdays.
09:14 I don’t want to make my flesh begin to see. So important. Now the question now is how will this Word.
09:25 One of the ways the Word will change me is this way. We go to Isaiah, the book of. Now you see, I’m going to Old Testament.
09:38 I used to call myself a New Testament boy. And now I’m going to Old Testament. Why? Because the Old Testament is also the word of God.
09:45 The only issue is nobody could fulfill the Word that day. They couldn’t follow, they couldn’t obey. But now in Christ, by His grace, by his mercy, we can obey because he has given us power to obey.
09:59 Now, Isaiah 55, I’m talking from verse 10 to 11. For as the rain comes down. You know how God writes.
10:08 Beautiful, isn’t it? For as the rain comes down and the snow from heaven, and the snow from heaven, and do not return there, the rain comes down and the snow comes down from heaven, and they do not return there but
the water the earth, but water the earth. They come down and water the earth, and make it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower and bread to the eater. As the rain comes down and waters the earth,
but does not return back to heaven, it brings forth and buds, and it gives seed to the sower and bread to the eater.10:47 11 so shall my word be, as the rain comes down and waters the earth, and produces seed and gifts to the sower and to the Eater bread. So shall my word be that goes forth from my mouth. Now, the word of God we are
repeating here that I must love my brother as myself.11:06 And then I know. I know what? I know that I have been transformed from death to life. That’s the word of God that has come from where? From his mouth.
11:18 From his mouth? My Father’s mouth. Your father’s mouth has spoken these words in where? In that John, you know, in 1, 1 John 3:14. He spoke it just like that.
11:32 He said, word come down, shall not go back like that. My word that goes forth from my mouth. It shall not return to me void, but it shall accomplish what I please.
11:44 What he pleases. He pleases that none should be lost. None.
11:49 I should not be lost. He loves me. And he shall prosper in the thing for which I sent.
11:56 This is how the world will change us. This is how, brothers and sisters, the world will change us. Can you imagine? So simple? Meditate on the word, speak the word, think one person first clear it.
12:09 Put a list of the people in your congregation. And you want to love them all. Every day you think clearing one.
12:14 Why? If you love your brother as Jesus loves you, then you know. You will know, your heart will know that you are transformed from death to life. And you will enter heaven.
12:25 You are entitled to heaven. You know for sure in yourself. It’s not for me to know whether you will enter heaven or not.
12:29 It’s not for your brother and sister in Christ to know whether you will enter heaven or not. It is for you to know. Because once you know you are entering heaven, you will live differently.
12:42 Once you know you are a saint, you live like a saint. Once you know you are a prince. Once somebody knows a prince, and he lived like a prince, although he was a beggar before.
12:54 Although we were all beggars before. Now, if we are saints and our heart and mind knows that we are now actually entitled to heaven, and we reach heaven, we live differently. We are not afraid now.
13:07 And who will change it? His word will change us. Why? It will accomplish what it set out to do. He has ordained it.
13:16 And who is speaking this? The one who is speaking. This is the one who cannot lie. He cannot lie.
13:23 Whatever comes through is truth. And it will settle it. And it will prosper in the thing that he sent out.
13:29 Brothers and sisters, today is a wonderful day. Let’s focus on this. Let’s go and tell others and witness to others what a great God, what the husband of your soul has done for you.
13:40 In Jesus name I pray. Amen.

Jesus says that I give you a new commandment A new commandment to love one another as I have loved you that you also love one another.01:22 There’s a commandment, a new commandment and commandments as we know the description in the Hebrew text, the whole description in the language, how it means one of the shades of meaning is prescription, a cure, a
remedy. So good prescription for me is I must love a follower of Christ, a disciple of Christ as Jesus Christ has loved me. How did he love me? He gave his life for me.01:50 In fact, he gave everything up for me. He gave his riches in heaven he gave up heaven for me and came down and died on the cross he gave himself up for me. He gave his own body for me.
01:53 He gave his blood for me. He gave his daily walk here, all that activity, all the sacrifice, all or suffered for me. So I must be prepared to do the same for followers of Jesus Christ.
02:20 There’s a command. It’s not. I’m.
02:22 I’m not trying to create a new theology here. It’s a simple command, a new command I give to you Love one another as I have loved you. Now, one of the things that happened when I came to the Lord, the.
02:34 The term everybody uses, born again. Yeah, that’s the term used in the Bible but it’s been loosely used so. But when Raja, when I started being follower of Christ, when I came to Christ, Christ it is Christ.
02:48 It drew me. I couldn’t have gone. It drew me so immediately there was love in my heart for the others.
02:56 When I went to the church, looking at people, some suffering, I felt sorry, some okay. My brother Sisters, I didn’t know this scripture, but it was there. Why? It’s the spirit of God who puts Christ in me.
03:12 Makes me feel that isn’t it? If you go back, every one of you listening here, go back to the day you actually were saved, where you actually dedicated your life and say, lord, I need you. I cannot live my life. I
cannot be self confident, self dependent.03:28 I want to be God dependent. I want to be dependent on you because I cannot survive this world. And then I need you.
03:35 And I receive you as my Lord and Saviour. And I recognize that you suffered on the cross and took my sins and died and rose again. All that put together.
03:43 You believe that in your heart you go back to that day and see, was there no love when you came out? There was love because Jesus had entered you. Now if you didn’t feel that, that means there was no belief in your
heart at that time. That is why God says what A person who is in Christ will not continue to practice sin.04:08 Why? The power of Christ is in you to stop sin and the power of Christ in you. Yes, you may fall into sin, but there will be conviction by the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is in you in the Spirit part.
04:22 And immediately you will know something is wrong and then you won’t be able to rest. There will be a distress. All of you, those of you know this, will know this, what I’m talking about.
04:31 Those who don’t feel this, then you have to become concerned. If you practice things on and on, in every possibility is this that your heart has not believed that Jesus Christ is your Lord and Saviour. You have to
now become concerned brothers and sisters, get to a pastor, get to a brother, get to a servant, get to a sister, get to a brother, whoever and start talking, talking, talking to them.04:56 This is what I need, this is what I believe, this is what I feel. Somebody must guide you or get to the graceoflife.com some servant there will deal with this. Because no point sitting like this, no point living a
life in this defeated way.05:11 No need. Now the question today then also I see after a while there are people in these congregations who are angry, who hate others, who are backbiting, who are gossiping, doing all that other thing going on. And
they say, hey, praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth.05:29 People are doing this and they’re supposed to be Christians. At the time I didn’t understand about those who not believe in their heart they’ll continue sinning. I didn’t know all that, but I knew something is
wrong.05:43 So I stayed away from some of these people because what I just want to. I want the peace of God that time. I just want the peace of God.
05:51 I just. I am just holding on to Christ. I treasured because I came from such a sinful background and completely finished.
05:58 And he gave me life. And I could breathe again, physically breathe again. And at the same time I can see life with love.
06:06 I feel joy, I feel rest, I feel peace. I don’t want to lose that. So I quietly stay away because when I stay with them I start feeling agitation in the spirit.
06:18 I feel disturbance. Now one of the things we must remember is this. Each of us supposed to work out our own salvation with fear and trembling.
06:31 What is he working out? Beholding in the Word of God. That is the exercise, remember the word exercise. Exercising our faith, exercising in the Word, beholding in the Word of God and will be transformed.
06:45 Like in a mirror. When you’re looking at it. When you’re looking at it and what happens? You’re looking at it this time you’re looking at the mirror.
06:52 The mirror is showing us the Word of God. He’s showing us the Word of God and showing me the Word of God. I’m looking at the Word of God in the mirror.
06:57 I’m looking at the Word of God in the mirror. And I keep looking at the Word of God in the mirror again and again and again. First I’ll see me, but I keep thinking of the Word of God.
07:07 I remember the Word of God and then God says he will transform me and my character will become according to the Word of God. And then we become like Christ. Our aim should become like Christ.
07:21 That’s the thing we all because firstborn among many is Jesus Christ is not ashamed to call me brother now. But how do we know? How do you want to know? How do we know what the Bible says? How do I know actually I
passed from death unto life. It’s a big question if how do I know? Actually my heart believes that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and the Saviour, my Savior and Lord of Master.07:48 And that I have passed from death unto life. How do I know this? It’s an important question, isn’t it? Now if you can know this, there’ll be settlement in you. If you cannot know this, that forever you are thinking
I’m a Christian.08:02 But anytime will I go to heaven? The question will you go to heaven? These people are going to ask those days right now, will you go to heaven? I am also in a dilemma. I do not know the Bible the time So I am
thinking, I feel, yeah, I feel God is here. I feel Jesus.08:21 I feel rest, I feel good, I feel peace, I feel joy and all. But I couldn’t say for a certainty that yes, I will enter heaven. I couldn’t say it because I didn’t know what is the parameter, what is the condition,
what are the rules and regulations to enter this heaven now and then in the midst of all this, because we are still facing, I’m still facing the day to day living issues and all that.08:45 But God kept me through and my family was put to being put together, on and on. And I was being transformed. My words, my words were changing.
08:55 The way I was speaking was changing. The way I’m thinking was changing. That is why God says what? Be renewed in the spirit of your mind.
09:01 In the spirit of your mind. That was changing. Who was changing it? Jesus Christ was changing it.
09:05 But what was happening? He has made me go and listen to the New Testament, downloaded what the cassettes and kept listening on and on and on and on. He’s just playing and that word was transforming me. It’s going on
and on.09:22 And I started playing in my house, got my wife to listen and then we prayed for our children while they’re sleeping and all that going on. So but with affirmative, can I say, yes, I will enter heaven because Jesus
said so. Can you say that today? Have you transformed from death unto life? Have you? How do you know for sure? Now this is the mark that Jesus has said in 1 John 3:14.09:52 1 John 3:14. It says this. We know the disciples are saying, the apostles are saying, we know that we have passed from death unto life because we love the brethren.
10:12 We know they know that we have passed from death unto life because we love the brethren. A brethren is what those who want to follow Jesus Christ are brethren. They are not perfected.
10:28 They may fall into sin here and there, but they are not practicing sin. They are not being, you know, violent and drunk and all this going on and on and on and on as I was doing. I was doing so I am not condemning
anybody here.10:44 I was drunk on and on and on. Violent on and on and on. Foul mouthed, on and on and on.
10:50 Put a, they say, put a sailor to shame. Those who are still doing that. I mean, they’re practicing things on and on and on.
11:00 Obviously they have not believed Jesus Christ in their heart. So they have to settle that. That’s what the word of God says.
11:08 But here the condition is because we love the brethren. We love those who are Wanting to follow Jesus. Yes.
11:17 When they fall, when they did something wrong, doesn’t mean they are practicing the wrong. We still love them. How do we love them? As Jesus Christ loved me.
11:28 How did Jesus Christ love me? He gave everything up for me. I must be prepared to go all the way to help this brother. I must be prepared to go all the way to help this brother and sister.
11:41 All the way. Because Jesus Christ went all the way. And more and more I must be prepared.
11:51 I must be willing. I must be willing to go all the way to help a brother and sister. What I have, I must share.
12:02 What I know, I must teach. What I know, I must guide. Even when they get angry, I must tell, this is the word of God.
12:09 Because I. Because my. The one, the King of Kings, the husband of my soul, calls me brother. So you are my brother, brother.
12:19 He calls me brother. So I go to tell you what he tells me to tell you what he shows in the word, written word. It is not a figment of my imagination.
12:27 It’s not. Suddenly I wake up one morning and say, brother, God gave me a revelation to do this. I’m not talking like this.
12:33 A lot of revelations are false. So those who say, today God told me to say this. God told me to do this.
12:40 Then you see their life in a total mess. You know it is not God who is speaking to them. Sometimes they get up and God told me to do this.
12:45 God told me to get and do this business. And then you know, their life is in such a mess. And then you know it is not from God.
12:54 But they won’t listen. I being there telling people, they won’t listen what to do. We are not policemen and prison wardens and dictators and kings.
13:04 No, no, we are just merely servants. Servants of the Most High. God will tell you and the Holy Spirit will guide them.
13:12 Now this is the command. This, the. This the measurement.
13:14 This the measurement. This is the. The sign that you know you pass from death unto life because you love the brethren as he has loved us.
13:25 Love one another as I have loved you, isn’t it? Love one another as I have loved you. And the sign that you love one another is you’re willing to go all the way to help a brother and sister. But they must be
brothers and sisters.13:37 They may be false Christians. The Bible talks about false Christians. False Christians.
13:42 You stay away. Don’t get caught in the trap. You know, they pretend to be Christians and then they expect you to love them as Jesus Christ has loved you.
13:51 Oh, you are a brother. You never do this, no. But they are false Christians also.
13:55 So you must be discerning. You’re not sure. That’s why Jesus sent disciples.
13:59 Two by two, get counsel two by two. Don’t alone trying to make the decisions. That’s when people ask you to do this and do that.
14:07 Be wise as serpent, gentle as doves. There are so many protection there. Get to a servant of God, get to a pastor, get to a sister, get to a brother and say, this is what happened.
14:18 The other person will say, no, don’t tell anybody, brother, I need these now. But don’t tell anybody that is not a Christian. Because whatever is hidden will be brought to life.
14:28 Light hidden will be brought to light. It will be brought to light. It will come to know.
14:33 So anybody tells you, I need this, brother. But don’t tell anybody that trying to operate in darkness. If they are sincere, if they are humble, that they need help, they must humbly tell, I need help.
14:45 And they must be able to you to be checking this with other brothers or other pastors or servants or whoever. If they don’t. No, no.
14:56 Silence. Keep yourself, keep yourself quietly and do this for me. They’re not.
15:00 Hey, watch out. Whether they actually Christians or not, they’re not brothers. They may be sheep, they may be wolves in sheep’s clothing.
15:06 So now the other thing is, what is this? He who does not, if he does not love, he does not love his brethren. What happens? He’s abided in death. He that does not love his brother abides in death.
15:20 Abides in death, is said, remains, is held and kept continually in spiritual death. That means if I do not love my brother and sister as Christ has loved me, am I not willing to do that? I remain in spiritual death.
Brothers and sisters, is a very good marker, but actually a very powerful, frightening marker.15:41 Let us today determine ourselves to love one another as he has loved us. Everyone who is a follower of Christ, I must love them. I must go all out to help them.
15:51 Brothers and sisters, is a wonderful thing. Today, in Jesus name I pray. It’s wonderful because we know.
15:56 In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
