The worship has finished and I’m sitting down there thinking of Christ, what to say. You know how to turn people to Christ. I’m about to get up and preach.
00:52 He’s on a service day and just hardly a minute or two before the moderator calls me for pastor to preach now or share the word. I hear God saying to me, the spirit of God saying to me, you are in sin, you are in sin immediately. I am sitting down there.
01:13 I do not know, Lord, what sin, but sin I don’t want to do. I don’t want to do this sin. I don’t want to do any sin, Lord, I don’t want.
01:19 I want to be holy. I want to. I don’t want to grieve you.
01:20 I don’t want to grieve the Holy Spirit. I don’t want to offend you. Lord Jesus, you saved my life.
01:26 You saved my family’s life. You put us together. I have peace and joy.
01:31 I have health. I have all that I need. I just want to do your will and go home to you.
01:37 I don’t want the sin. And so whenever Jesus Christ talks about sin to a servant pastor, listen, you cannot preach. You have to stand down.
01:48 You cannot use the pulpit. The pulpit is Jesus Christ owns pulpit. The Spirit of God owns the pulpit.
01:53 We just can’t go there and keep sin and talk and teach others and correct others like everything is fine. Cannot. When we are in sin or some issues.
02:03 God says, stand down. You just stand down. So I just sit there for a while sitting down there, the potter is still talking and then I do not want to go up.
02:12 So Lord Jesus, I don’t preach. So I said, no. He said, go and stand the pulpit.
02:19 So I went to the pulpit and I said, then before I can start, the Holy Spirit telling me, confess your sin now. You have sinned, you have sinned. By the time of walking.
02:30 I didn’t know what sin at the time. By the time walking to the pulpit, he already told me what sin. So he Told me now tell the whole church you are in this sin.
02:38 So I told the whole church the sin was there are four computers in my house. My children and I use it, My children are using for business. We are a small business at the time because we are out of this, out of this.
02:54 All the earlier wrongs, all done, finished, all the debts, all settled, everything, no more debts and all this. And we just living simply the case. We have not won the case yet.
03:05 By God’s mercy. God has not let the case be won yet. And we have not got money from the cave.
03:09 So we are living in a simple life and living a simple life and doing small business to keep our body and soul together and paying our bills. That time he said that computer, that therefore there will all have fake software, counterfeit software at that time, counterfeit Windows, all the Windows operating system Windows in each of the computers were fake or false. God says you are in that sin.
03:39 So I told the church, friends, this is today I’m standing here and Jesus Christ conviction convicting me that I’m having fake software, non copyrighted. I didn’t pay for the original software. I, I just got this.
03:52 They came with the computers, you know, when we go and get the computers, they load these softwares, this operating systems and all. So I said, as of today, very simple, we are not going to use those computers until we get original softwares. And then I’m not thinking we can’t do the business.
04:09 We can’t answer the settled people because my children were doing computer involved business so they need a computer. But no, my decision is simple. No income, no income.
04:21 People fed up with such people fed up with us. I don’t want God to be fed up with me because of fear. A fear comes upon me when God says you are in sin.
04:29 A fear came upon. I do not want to do this. I don’t offend him.
04:33 He suffered like that for me and then he died on the cross, went to hell, took all my curses and gave me this. And I do not want to do it. Brother, sister, start taking that stand you do not want.
04:45 If God says this is black, it is black. You are wrong, you are wrong. So sorry Lord, sorry Lord.
04:50 And how to know we are wrong? The word of God will say, oh, you’re wrong. So brothers and sisters, today this thing about whether it’s stealing or not has become a very loose definition. A lot of people in the world today, they do a lot of stealing, but they think it’s not stealing because that’s their mind.
05:08 They do not Want to search the word of God. They do not want to rely on the word of God. Do not want to lean on the word of God.
05:14 They have their own definition and understanding. Because what the what the world has taught us. Now in King James Version dictionary today.
05:24 King James Bible Version Dictionary the word steal is simply this. An intent to take what belongs to another. An intent to take what belongs to another.
05:33 And without his consent. And without the consent. If both the conditions is felonious.
05:38 Felonious means criminal. Like you know. So cbt like one is a breach of trust.
05:43 Somebody gives you some money to keep, you use it by yourself, don’t care. That is breach of trust. And sometimes it becomes criminal because according to the laws.
05:52 Now, brothers and sisters, I’ve taken an article. There are a number of servants who are teaching properly. There are servants who fear God.
06:03 So don’t think I’m the only one telling this. No, no. All over the world you go to the Internet and search for this kind of material.
06:10 There are sermons and teachings and warnings and all that will be there. But people like to just look for so called blessing, God bless me and so called feeling. I sang some songs and feel good.
06:22 No obedience is better than sacrifice. And then God tells this, for instance, he says all liars, all practicing liars belong to the Lake of Fire in Revelation. Now remember liar.
06:36 So we don’t lie anymore because why? He is the truth. We are in the truth and the truth is in us. And we cannot lie.
06:44 And we practice and we fall into lie. Yes, it can happen immediately say sorry, Lord Jesus, sorry and turn and confess your sin. Go to the people and say I’m sorry, I made a mistake there.
06:55 That’s why I didn’t. This is not the truth. The truth is this.
06:59 This is what I did. I’m sorry. And then take the, take the punishment, whatever comes along.
07:04 Why? Because this punishment, whatever we get here is nothing compared to what is a Lake of Fire story. Now, Bell sister, today I’m dealing with this because a lot of people take things from people and they don’t return it and they keep it there and they use it and pretend not to know it. That is stealing.
07:23 That is stealing. Simply put, in this particular website, I’ve given the website name there in the email. Is there define the thing like stealing is taking property or possessions that rightfully belong to other people without the right of permission to do so.
07:42 In simply put, taking somebody’s things, taking somebody’s things and using it. Taking somebody’s things without people’s permission is Stealing don’t have your own definition. Our own definition is not going to cut it.
07:58 God is going to use his definition to decide on earth brothers. So. And I’m reading a verse from the paragraph from the that people thieve if they are dishonest in business, cheat on taxes, refuse to pay debts.
08:16 What about plagiarism? That means copying other people’s articles and writing copyright or patent violation. What does the Bible say about various forms of stealing? Now, brothers and sisters, in such a serious matter, first I’m going to read from the revelation that is Revelation 22:15. He says that those who love to lie pretend to be good outside the city.
08:41 The city now outside. Those like live like dogs. Live like dog.
08:45 They are like dogs. Those who do evil things. Evil magic.
08:49 Evil and magic. And sin sexually. Those who murder, those who worship idols and those who love to lie and pretend to be good.
09:01 Deceitful. No. Ah.
09:06 Not inside. Not inside the kingdom. They are outside the city.
09:17 And the amplified version says everyone who lurks and practices lying, deception, cheating cannot be allowed to be inside the kingdom. Now inside the city. Ephesians 4:28.
09:27 The thief who has become a believer must no longer steal. With the commander earlier we had stealing or whatever. No longer steal.
09:41 So what did I do? I did no more using. But I also inserted the disturb if people call and all my children can’t do the business, whatever, they can’t settle them. So I was thinking whether I go to Internet cafe to do or this and that.
10:13 This was a Saturday, a Sunday. We get a call on Monday morning actually from a sister in Gryce who says there is one IT company which is shutting down or shifting or something and they’ve got five, I think five windows, original windows that they don’t because they are upgrading the computers or whatever that they are not using. They are selling it cheaply.
10:25 So and just for 1200 ringgit. 5 windows for 1200 ringgit is fantastic price, you know, because it would have cost us about five times more than that. So we.
10:34 Oh we thank God, you see, Jesus sees us through. You want to obey? He’ll find a way for you. You don’t obey forever, you’ll be in a mess.
11:02 And there are people, I’ve been counseling a couple of people this week about taking people’s money. There are people taking his money and they use for themselves and we’re not accounting to others. And then they goes on for month after month and month and then, and then pretending to be everything fine, you know, they sit in front of you they tell everything fine, everything fine, Pastor, Everything fine, Everything how? I think, how’s your income, brother? How’s your income? No managing, Pastor.
11:11 Actually they taking other people’s money and managing that is stealing. Definition of King James Version dictionary. That’s a Bible dictionary.
11:18 And then King James Version Bible dictionary. I could find that. I hope there’s also Catholic Bible dictionary and all you can find and see.
11:32 It should be the same because our law also saves this. And then broadly, if you take people’s things without permission, it’s stealing. I used to teach my son and my grandson, my children, all this, hey, don’t touch people’s things.
11:40 Because nowadays it’s so easy. And they go to the school or whatever they say, oh, it’s nice. Then they check and think they may not take it home.
11:51 But they look at it, use it for a while and put it back in the school and they think it’s okay. They steal in. But you see, God has given all thieves can be saved, can be forgiven.
11:57 Thieves can be forgiven. That’s the Good news. Why? First Corinthians 6, 9, 11.
12:17 The Corinthian Church included thieves who have been forgiven by Jesus blood, by God’s mercy, thieves of all kinds can be saved. Now we look at pirates of Psalms and all cannot is stealing. And you know, at the time God told me, Jesus Christ told me at that time, it’s because you, you don’t love your neighbor as yourself.
12:46 Why you don’t love your neighbor as yourself? Because suppose you made something, you’re telling this, the spirit of God telling me, you know, Chrissy Lew, if you, my son, if you made something and then you’re selling it, people copy it and put your brand and sell it. How violation they invented something. We just copy the invention and just begin to sell everything, sell, make money that spent lot of years and heartache and whatnot and discovery and then sacrifices and then we go and take it.
12:54 That’s the same thing. You take a branded clothes, you put it in brand. What are you doing? And a Christian doesn’t need branded clothes.
13:04 It’s stupidity. You put anything put up. The conduct should show your brand, your conduct should show your brand that your belonging to Jesus Christ.
13:16 You want to do the right thing. That is the brand we supposed to carry. Our conduct should show it’s not the clothes, it’s not the things, it’s not the fake watches.
13:34 And then people lightly think they can just take people, you know, in the fridge there’ll be food. And I’ve seen people not in this, you know, I’ve seen people in church, you know, come, they have used a. I used to pastor a church with some people there from another nation.
13:43 And they’re gathering together and then they’ll take other people’s food, you know. Then each person, each of the person there struggling because struggling in this country. So they.
13:50 But the little money they buy some food for themselves to then eat during the day or whatever before they come back. Something somebody has taken, eaten. They don’t think it’s stealing.
13:54 It’s stealing. It is stealing. It’s steam.
14:00 God calls you thief. You take people’s things without permission. Thief.
14:06 And it’s not just I borrowed, I borrowed. No, no, you didn’t borrow. You’re a thief according to God’s word.
14:09 According to your own definition. Yes. You’re not a stealer.
14:13 You’re not a thief. You’re just taking it. I’m taking from my brother.
14:19 That’s why they talk, you know, they talk. You know what you know, each one blocks everybody. You decline, brother.
14:23 You, you. You are. You love me, sir, I should take from you.
14:29 You must give me all these lies, all these things. No, you are a thief. Especially.
14:35 You’re going on and on and on and with it. You don’t want convicted. You’re feared, you’re conscious.
14:47 And then this particular person just few days ago angry with me. That even makes the matter even worse. And then begin to talk about me.
14:58 This and a brother, stop this. Why? You are putting yourself in worse position than you already are. Why? God’s definition is that you are a thief right now.
15:03 You are a practicing thief. So stop it. Change.
15:15 Change. When God told me I am a thief that time and I’m using fake, what do you call counterfeit software, I immediately stop. Why? I fear God.
15:22 I fear God. What will happen without my God protecting me? What will happen? The devil will come to steal, kill and destroy. And that’s what happening to his brother.
15:27 Right now the devil is stealing everything, but he’s not seeing it. Why? Pride. Pride is.
15:36 I know I didn’t steal. Actually, he was stealing for so long. There were many months or maybe even years from number of people, brothers and sisters.
15:51 But then when you correct them, they get very angry with you. They got your own definition. But now God says in some scripture that those who do not use his word correctly and tell some other words, they also stealing God’s word.
15:58 Can you imagine? God says what we are stealing the servant. Be careful when you are preaching and teaching. Tell the exact the whole counsel of God.
16:07 If you don’t give the whole counsel of God, you give adjusted counsel of God. God calls us stealing his word. Stealing his word Servant can be stealing his word word.
16:19 Can you imagine God considers that why instead of telling the whole thing, you have stolen some word and we’re just giving back something. Other words, you have stolen and kept it. You’re not releasing to the people which will set them free which have a great life.
16:24 Brother and sister, today go and examine yourself. Examine yourself. Have you got any of these things? Yeah.
16:33 Get rid of it. Why? Oh, money. Pastor? Yeah? Can you rely on Jesus Christ to provide for you? Let’s not be dishonest.
16:39 Rest with truth. Let’s be right. Because do not lose our eternity loose.
16:50 And then we step on the blood of Jesus Christ who suffered for us like that. Give us power to overcome everything, everything outcome, our heart and mind. And to rely on him completely that he provide for you.
16:56 And I’ve experienced his goodness. He provided even the software. Thank Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

00:01 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Brothers and sisters, today the power of Christ Daily 22 December 2015 titled Is this World your kingdom? Is this world your kingdom? Brothers and sisters, this question is an important question for ourselves. When examining ourselves, we have to find out daily that is this something that is catching us, catching our heart, catching our minds being locked in, so that we are being captives again to things of this world, to love of this world, that we are captives again to our own heart’s desire, Our heart desire, God already told our hearts are treacherously wicked. That means our heart desire, what will produce is also wicked thing.
00:49 It may seem good things, it may seem to be good, but until the desire is measured against the word of God, then only you will know whether that particular desire from your heart is a righteous desire or is it a worldly desire, or is it a wicked desire that your heart is throwing out, producing, and you are not looking at it because you do not know we are being duped. We are being duped by our own heart. That is why over the years in Christ come across some shocking decisions by some people.
01:26 Shocking decisions. Like for instance, some years ago, about 15 years ago, I think one girl wants to divorce a man. And both of them supposed to be Christians.
01:42 They were not. I was not the pastor for them, but I knew this man and I knew this girl. In fact, I went to their wedding and they called me for their wedding and I was saying some words for them, you know, blessings, you know, pronounce some blessings over their marriage and asked them to follow Christ because both are Christians.
02:06 So I told them their marriage will be good if they put Christ as the focal point, each of them submitting to Christ, then their marriage will be good. If they’re submitting to their own heart desire, then the marriage will not be good. Of course, I didn’t say it like that in the wedding speech.
02:23 But then this girl wants to divorce. But we know God already said clearly divorce is only if you have a right to divorce, if one of the parties have committed adultery or sexual immorality. Otherwise you do not have this, unless of course your life is in danger and all the other things.
02:45 But but does none of that. And yet this girl is desiring to marry somebody else. Actually, she already involved his life, but she’s not telling that.
02:54 She’s not committing this. She’s not confessing to that. She’s simply saying, I cannot leave this man.
02:59 I cannot leave this man. And finally saying what you know, I heard God. God told me I can divorce.
03:08 God told Me to divorce. There are a lot of this thing going on because our hearts are wicked and the devil begin to talk to our heart. The familiar spirit begins to talk to our hearts.
03:18 And our hearts begin to be convinced that anything we are deciding against the word of God also is gospel. But it’s not measured against the word of God. So when we try to mediate, impossible.
03:33 In fact, I finally had to go and call the uncle who was also at the marriage. And all that didn’t work. Now there’s also.
03:43 I would say this man was also to be blamed. Why? Although he didn’t do the things he blamed for the marriage not being as in Christ. Why? Because he was not taking headship.
03:58 He was not following Christ. He was not washing her with the word of God. You have to wash your wife with the word of God.
04:04 That God Commander Washing of. He said, love your wife as Christ loves the church. And how did Christ love the church? He washed.
04:14 Washing of the water by the Word. He said, do this by washing of the water by the Word. He washes the church.
04:20 Jesus Christ washes his church. That all of us are put together. Five here, 10 here, 20 there.
04:26 And all over the world put together. It’s a church. It’s an invisible spiritual church.
04:31 It’s not a denomination. Brothers and sisters, don’t make this error. It’s not a denomination that.
04:37 Okay, I’m ministering in one. And they call that a denomination. Let’s say.
04:40 No, no, it’s not there. There are not all the denominations. Only one denomination.
04:45 And then you go to heaven. No, no, not true. Jesus Christ said, I shall build my church and the gates of hell will not prevail.
04:53 Jesus Christ will build the church. And build a church where in the hearts of men and women, in the heart. The heart becomes a follower of Christ in the heart.
05:04 So how that happens? The washing of the water by the Word. Washing of the water by the word means you use the word of God to wash. And then on the physical parallel can be we are all 80% water.
05:16 The brain supposed to be 90% water. So renewing your mind in the word of God by washing of the water by the Word in the physical sense. It could be that the word of God is washing the water first.
05:27 Because that information, the water. And science has now proven there’s memory in the water. If you go and look in the Internet and see memory in the water and such things, then you will have all this information come out.
05:40 Scientific information coming out now, brothers and sisters. That is why it’s important to examine ourselves in our conduct, whatever it is. The other day I was talking about the mlm.
05:51 MLM by itself is not bad. By itself, not bad. MLM is a system of doing business.
05:58 That’s all. It’s a system of doing business. But any system of doing business can be tempted to go and do it in a demonic desire way.
06:09 In a desire that Satan likes it, in a desire that your heart likes it. That means you’re doing it for your own profit. When you’re making presentation or asking people to join the program, it’s for your own profit motif.
06:21 And you’re not considering the person in front of you whether they can afford, whether they can do this, whether they can use the product. Nothing is considered. You’re just considering, how can I get this person, how can I get this person to put a few thousand ringgit so that I can go up in the rank and get this money, run the sales? Finally, every $10,000 you get somebody to put or a few people to put, you will probably earn about 3,000 or 4,000 or whatever at the leadership level.
06:49 And the others earn above you and above you. It’s better to just ask somebody, we need $3,000 ringgit. Better ask them, please, I need 3,000 ringgit.
06:57 And some people get together and help you. If you can convince them that it is necessary, you need it. Somebody will help, but not go and get 10,000 ringgit from people so that you can earn 3,000 ringgit and put them all in difficulty.
07:10 This is what’s happening, brother. That’s what that’s become so bad. Now anyway.
07:14 Here. If this were your kingdom, we must remember this. Now reading from John 18:35, 38.
07:23 Pilate. Pontius Pilate, the representative of Caesar, answered, I’m not a Jew, am I? Your own people and their chief priests have handed you over to me. Have you done that is worthy of what have you done that is worthy of death? This is an amplified reading.
07:42 He’s asking, Jesus, what have you done that is worthy of death? Your own people and your chief priests have handed your people over, and the chief priest have handed you over to me. 36 Jesus replied, My kingdom is not of this world, nor does it have its origin in this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would be fighting hard to keep me from being handed over to the Jews.
08:08 But as it is, my kingdom is not of this world. Now, brothers and sisters, the word as it is the earliest translation will say, but for now, for now, my kingdom not of this world. Now this is an error.
08:23 A lot of people think that for Jesus forever the kingdom will not be. Here it is, it’s coming. But not in the first coming.
08:33 Brothers and sisters, when Jesus is answering this. Now let’s see what else he answered before I come back and explain. 37.
08:39 So Pilate said to him, then you are a king. Jesus answered, you say correctly that I am a king. That is why I was born.
08:48 Jesus answering, you know, Jesus Christ answering to point to Pilate, this is why I was born. And for this I have come into this world to testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth, who is a friend of the truth and belongs to the truth, hears and listens carefully to my voice.
09:10 Pilate said to him scornfully, what is truth? And when he had said this, he went to the Jews again and told them, I find no guilt in him, no crime, no cause, no accusation. But Pilate sarcastically said, what is truth? But we know what is truth. Truth is Jesus, I am the way, the truth and life.
09:31 And those who come to him only will have the truth. Those who are disciples indeed will know the truth. And the truth will set them free.
09:39 And this is why I was born. He said, now let’s look at this. So therefore, the kingdom of this world right now, when he comes, he’ll establish his kingdom in the hearts of men.
09:49 First, he wants to establish his kingdom in the hearts of men. So if Jesus reigns in my heart, that Jesus kingdom is in me. First seek ye the kingdom of God and all this will be added.
10:04 First seek the kingdom of God. Kingdom of God is defined as righteousness, peace and joy. First, in the hearts of man there will be righteousness.
10:11 That righteousness can only come from the blood of Jesus Christ. Righteousness, peace and joy. You must have righteousness, peace and joy under any condition.
10:19 If this is moving away from you, stop, go back, worship, examine, confess, settle with people. And the righteousness, peace and joy will return until you have righteousness based on joy. And he said, all these things that you need will be given to you.
10:37 So don’t have to go and keep on fighting, fighting, fighting for things. No, no fighting, fighting for things now he said, my kingdom is not of this world. If it is of this world, my servant will be fighting hard to keep me from being handed over there.
10:49 That is why these wars and all these have been created by Satan. Satan always likes to have wars so that he can draw blood, kill people off, destroy souls, destroy lives. But sadly, there are many churches in America especially support the wars.
11:10 They support wars. It’s not right. It’s not of God, it’s not of Jesus Christ.
11:16 No. Now and then that causes amount of damage because the politicians who are many of them are Satan worshippers. Also remember there are a lot of Satan worshippers throughout the world and they have taken control because the world kingdom is.
11:31 Satan is the ruler of the world and they want to be sub rulers. They’re ruling as if they are men. But actually they are influenced by Satan because he ruled over the world and they create wars.
11:45 Wars are part of actually probably the biggest. This is the biggest business I think wars other than money, wars are probably the biggest business now. And for Satan it is drawing lives, killing lives, killing Souls and lives are damaged, families are damaged, children are often terrible damage.
12:09 People are paralyzed. Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth, brother Jesus. We know Jesus has to come back now.
12:16 When he comes back, he’ll come back and of course in the hearts of men it will be established. He is the King of kings and Lord of lords. Lord of lords and king of kings.
12:26 He’ll be established and we will come back with him. Those who hang on to him and not want this world to be our world. We are looking for the kingdom of God.
12:35 We are seeking the kingdom of God and having the kingdom of God because of the righteous blood, pure holy blood of Jesus Christ. And we want to keep his commandments. And so we are in the kingdom of God and he’ll pick us up, he’ll take us up because we’re part of the bride of Christ and together we’ll come back to co rule with him over the new earth.
12:57 He will establish a new earth. First of all, all the men and women will know that he is the king of kings. Two in the heart they already know.
13:07 So all will subject themselves to him and a new kingdom will set. And this kingdom now on earth, Satan has been bound and thrown into the bottomless pit. Bound and thrown into the bottomless pit.
13:19 And all it takes is one angel. One angel. God commands it.
13:23 One angel goes and catches Satan and binds him and throws him to the bottomless pit. For a thousand years now. So now that time the kingdom of God is on earth.
13:35 It has taken and ruling over all the kingdoms and all the kings will pay homage to Jesus Christ. That is why whatever we do, we want to please Jesus Christ. There are people who have been misled into building kingdoms here, kingdoms here.
13:51 It will finally not bring peace to anyone. There are of course, and they cannot stop. They cannot stop because they’re chasing the money, chasing the wealth, chasing the things of the world because they have begun to love the things of the world.
14:06 Our hearts all love the world and things of the world. But it’s overcome by the blood of Jesus Christ. That’s why he says, for now my kingdom is not of this world.
14:16 Don’t get mistaken to say that forever. The kingdom is not of the world system will change. Instead of Satan ruling the world, finally it will be Jesus Christ ruling the world.
14:26 But not for now. For now it is not as it is. The kingdom of this world is not his.
14:33 But he will establish it. He will establish a new kingdom under the righteous authority of Jesus Christ. This is what we should be looking for.
14:39 This is what we are looking for. And this is going to happen. Why? Jesus Christ is the truth.
14:46 He cannot lie. So when he says, Jesus, this is why I was born, because I am a king. Can you imagine, brother? This is why I was born, that I am a king.
14:58 But not for now. This kingdom is not of my kingdom is not of this world. There will be another kingdom, another world order that is Jesus Christ reigns supreme.
15:10 Brothers and sisters, today whatever we do, if we don’t keep a check on ourselves, don’t we don’t give us control of ourselves, our heart will draw, draw, draw. Finally we chase, chase, chase. So all the millionaires and the billionaires and the wealthy and all that who do not have this in mind, who do not have this in their spirit, step by step, this world will become control them.
15:34 They’ll become captive to this world. Therefore, Jesus said, love of this world and the love of the things of the world you have means you do not have love of Father God in you. If you do not have love of Father God in you, you cannot be saved for sure.
15:50 And that’s very hard when you keep chasing, chasing this. Finally, yes, we need to live and Jesus provides for us. That is why he said, godliness with contentment is great gain.
16:02 Godliness with contentment is great gain. Can you imagine? He’s saying contentment produces great gain. How can contentment produce great gain? Go? That is the sarcastic miracle.
16:13 Content with what we have, we walk a godly life. By the power of the blood, power of Jesus Christ, power of Christ, we walk a godly life. And when we are doing this, things will be added to us and all our needs will be settled more so we will have righteousness, peace and joy.
16:30 We will have relationships. That is why when people are dying in the old age, if they have surrounded by friends and family and relations and they love this person who’s dying, the body is dying. Not the man or woman.
16:44 Then you know this is complete. That’s love. Love.
16:50 Brothers and sisters, today look for that righteousness, peace and joy. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.

00:01 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Brothers and sisters, today the power of Christ Daily 21st December 2015 Are you anti government? Are you anti government? Brothers and sisters, all over the world has traveled now many countries even, particularly those even with the not just dictatorial countries where the dictators were there. There were also countries where there’s supposed to be democracy and elections and what have you. And every time after an election there will be two groups.
00:32 One group wants the government out, other group wants the government in. And of course, all over the world there’s accusations that people came into power using money or using force or using power, using weapons or whatever. All these accusations keep on going on and on and there’s a lot of instability and all that.
00:53 But the Bible has already spoken about all these. In the end times, there will be trouble and there will be trouble in the world. And Jesus says, be of good cheer.
01:05 Be of good cheer. I have overcome the world that trouble the world. I overcome the world.
01:10 But brothers and sisters, before I can answer this, are you anti government or what are you? What is the right thing to do? Of course, the right thing to do for me will be very simple and straightforward. I have to search Scripture. If Scripture tells me something, I want to follow it.
01:27 I am willing to follow it. My heart and mind may not want to follow it, but in the name of Jesus Christ, I am able to command my heart and mind to follow scripture. Because I already know what kind of trouble there was without God in my life.
01:42 I made a segment called Educated Fools. Educated Fools. And I was the number one educated fool.
01:49 Therefore, for me, the Scriptures of God, the Word of God, I will lean on it. I will stand on it. I will hold on to it.
01:55 I will embrace it. I will want to obey completely. And I ask Jesus Christ, in the name of Jesus Christ, I ask the Holy Spirit to make me obey every word of God completely.
02:06 When I am mistaken and having some beliefs that are not according to the Word of God, when somebody shows me, I immediately study the Word of God in several translations, go back to Hebrew and Greek and all, and then get the what is it? And if the person is right, I will immediately, if the Word of God is gone, I will change my stance to the word of God that I now see, which I didn’t see earlier. It’s simple as that. And with that stance, I put a segment called Footloose and fancy free.
02:39 I am footloose. When he tells me, jump up and go. When Jesus tells me, I just want to jump up and go fancy free.
02:45 Means I don’t want anything of my own fancy. I want what Jesus Christ wants for me. And that gives me righteousness, peace and joy.
02:54 I need peace. And the peace has seen me through for 20 years. Even all kinds of issues I faced and I faced a serious tragedy in my house.
02:55 And the peace of God was holding our hearts because our Jesus Christ loves us. He loves you. So before we can go into the details of this, you will only understand, even when I quote Scripture, you will only understand and able to accept the scripture if you have already accepted the precepts of Christ.
03:27 Precepts of Christ is what? Love God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength. Love one another as I have loved you, love your neighbour as yourself. And if you want to be sons of the Most High God, even love your enemies.
03:42 These are one precept, another precept of Christ. All your faith must put in Him. Our faith must only be in Him.
03:51 That means we must lean on him, trust on him, be, cling on to his word, cling to him, adhere to his commandment. That’s another precept. These are precepts that cannot change.
04:04 This precept we need to follow, we need to have this. And we have to be born of the Spirit. Because if you are not born of the Spirit, the carnal mind, the worldly mind, cannot understand the things of God, cannot understand the things of the Spirit.
04:20 Therefore, if you are trying to read Scripture, using a fallen nature mind, trying to understand the spiritual issues that God is showing us in the Bible, your fallen nature mind, that the worldly mind cannot understand the things of the Spirit, and how do we born again? We turn to Christ and want to believe him, willing to believe and obey Him. Only when you turn to Christ and say, I need Christ and to turn to Christ, you must want to confess that you are a sinner, that you accept you are a sinner. And when you accept you are a sinner and that you are messed up and your way doesn’t work.
04:59 Now you want his way, the Creator’s way. You accept that he is the son of the living God who came and died for you and rose again. And now our faith is in his faith.
05:11 And even our faith, the size of the grain of a mustard seed, can tell mountains to move. Jesus said that’s what. Why? Because our faith only in his faith, we just want to believe him and everything else we will have the faith to endure.
05:28 Brothers and sisters, these are precepts. And until these precepts, this bond of the Spirit, our provider is Jesus. Christ your provider must be Jesus Christ.
05:38 Your faith must be in Jesus Christ, the provider, not trust in man. Because man can fail, man may want to do the right thing. Your husband and wife want to do the right thing for you.
05:49 They love you. But they can fail because they have their fallen nature. Man 1, 2.
05:56 When they are born again, they have power in Christ to cast out evil spirit and all the years. But they cannot control anything and everything. I can’t control the floods.
06:05 If today for instance, let us say the Internet is not working, I won’t be able to post this. However much you can trust me to get up in the morning, by God’s mercy to do this. But let us say I bind this in Jesus Christ’s name.
06:20 I am not able to get up that morning. What happens? I can’t do so. Putting a trust in me is useless because I am a man.
06:29 But put a trust in Jesus Christ. That is why whatever we think we can do, we have to say God by will of God, by God’s mercy, by God’s grace, by God willing. We have to say these words and know these words, not just say it for redundancy purposes, just say, you know, we have to know that this is true.
06:51 We are not in control, but Jesus will do our what is the control we can have? They can tell you, oh, this thing going to happen, the economy going to crash. Can we stop the economy from crashing? There are a lot of articles now that the Malaysian economy is going to have a suffering year for 2016. And then reason is petrol dollar has dropped, petrol value of petrol per barrel has dropped, oil has dropped.
07:18 Therefore our producing. We are going to not have $30 billion. We’re going to have a deficit of $30 billion it seems.
07:25 So now what we have to do, can we stop there? But then we can control ourselves in the name of Jesus Christ and believe in Jesus Christ to see us through. We become good stewards. We do not waste money, we care.
07:39 Therefore, in this season, the so called end of the year season, you now must pay particular attention not to just spend, spend, spend and run up a credit card bill that you can’t pay. Now there’s a thing God said, be a good steward of money. The money doesn’t belong to us.
07:52 When we come to Jesus Christ, we are surrendered to Jesus Christ and all these precepts will begin to follow. Then when any other word of God comes, even when a heart and mind doesn’t accept, you can overcome and accept it because you know what God said is true. So now are you an anti government? Are you anti government? And so what does the Bible say? I’m reading from 1st Peter 2:12 16.
08:20 2:12 16 keep I’m reading my amplified Keep your behavior excellent among the unsaved. The Gentiles conduct yourself honourably with graciousness and integrity, so that for whatever reason they may slander you as evildoers, yet by observing your good deeds, they may instead come to glorify God. They will instead glorify God.
08:50 They may, because by observing your good deeds in the day of visitation, when he looks upon them with mercy. When he looks upon them with mercy. That means now we want to keep our behavior excellent among the others.
09:04 We are supposed to have been saved by Christ. We came to Christ, so we are born again. We are children of God.
09:11 But then what you do, our behavior must be excellent among the unsaved so they know they can follow, they can glorify God, especially in the day of visitation when the Lord comes, when he looks upon them with mercy. 13 this is 1st Peter 2:13 Submit yourselves to the authority of every human institution for the sake of the Lord to honour his name, whether it is to a king as one in a position of power, or to governors as sent by him to bring punishment to those who do wrong, and to praise and encourage those who do right. Now brothers and sisters, listen to this carefully.
09:55 Submit yourself to the authority of every human institution for the sake of the Lord to honour his name, whether it is to a king as one in the position of power, or to governors as sent by him to bring punishment to those who do wrong and to pray and encourage those who do right. Because this is a reference to of course, the Romans. Romans were ruling the place and their governors, Roman governors were there.
10:22 For it is the will of God that by doing right you may silence muzzle, gag the culpable ignorance and irresponsible criticisms of foolish people. For it is the will of God that by doing right you may silence muzzle, gag the culpable ignorance, the ignorance that joins up, the ignorance that causes trouble and irresponsible criticisms of foolish people. 16.
10:52 Live as free people. But do not use your freedom as a cover or pretext for evil, but use it and live as born servants of Christ, servants of righteousness. Live as free people.
11:05 We are free people bought by the blood of Jesus Christ. But do not use the freedom as a cover or pretext for evil, but use it and live as bond. Servants of God.
11:15 Yesterday we were talking about how so called Christians and even pastors are using their position to Steal money, to cheat people, to greed, cowardice. It’s idolatry. It’s idolatry.
11:33 Or even a pastor goes around collecting money, inducing people to join programs or MLMs or whatever just for his own personal profit. It’s actually terrible sin. And it is idolatry because that person wants that pastor or that Christian wants recognition in the world.
11:58 Brothers and sisters, we talked about that yesterday. This is sin. I pray anyone doing this through, stop to care for the sheep of Jesus Christ.
12:07 Feed the sheep, not take them into these kind of things. And then they go astray, even because they get fed up. They have lost money which they can’t afford now.
12:17 Titus 3:1 3. Remind them to be subject to rulers and authorities. To be obedient, to be ready for every good work.
12:24 This is the Catholic version. Remind them to be subject to rulers and authorities. To speak evil of no one.
12:31 To avoid quarrelling, to be gentle and to show every courtesy to everyone. To speak evil of no one. For we ourselves are foolish, disobedient, and led astray.
12:41 To slaves, to various passions and pleasures, and passing our days in malice and envy. Despicable, hating one another. So speak evil of no one.
12:51 Remind them to subject to rulers and authority. Friends and sir, we are to be subject to the government, so. Oh, but was the government doing wrong? Our faith is in Christ to still see us through.
13:02 We are subject to the laws. The only thing we will not obey. When governments of any country tell us you don’t follow Jesus Christ.
13:10 You don’t pray to Jesus Christ. You don’t worship Jesus Christ. You don’t obey his commandments.
13:15 His commandments are, love God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength. Love one another as you loved us, as he loved us. Love your neighbor as yourself.
13:24 These are precepts of Christ. If they tell us not to follow, this cannot. If they tell you some institution or some rogue officer tells you, tell false witness to others on others, you cannot.
13:35 You cannot slander others. You cannot bring false accusations to others. All this God’s words, He says cannot, he hates.
13:41 So whatever Jesus Christ has told us to do is all good. But they tell us not to obey Jesus Christ. We cannot.
13:48 We obey God. But of course, when you want to do that, there are consequences. When you want to say no, I will obey God.
13:54 Especially rogue rulers or whatever or rogue officers are trying to force you. There are consequences. That time we ask Jesus Christ for mercy.
14:02 That our faith will hold and will go through. Father and dad. Brothers and sisters, submit to the government.
14:11 Because God said, look, submit to the government, his instruction is there. Jesus Christ says, but if you say how I must go, I must go and what you call rise up, then, yeah, those who don’t know the word of God and are not born again, they’re not led by the spirit of God. And then they are not depending on Christ.
14:34 They can’t depend on Christ because they don’t know Christ to see them through. They have not experienced the goodness of Christ. Of course they won’t do something like that.
14:43 But you, you God calls you peculiar people, ambassadors of Christ, making peace for men to God. He said, you cannot because you trust me. He says, I will take care of you.
14:57 I’ll provide for you. Don’t worry about it. I’ll see you through.
15:00 I’ll give you power to endure. Now people say, no, no, I must go and do this and that. They call them the Christians, you know, but not true.
15:07 They don’t know the scripture. And they’re not maybe cannot follow even if they know they’re not born again in the spirit. But what happens? Take another issue.
15:16 Let us say somebody you love is now seriously ill. That’s why we are praying to God, isn’t it? We are praying to Jesus Christ to settle this loved one, isn’t it? In fact, we are asking Jesus save, save there we cannot go and protest. And all that time we want prayers, that time we want to get when Jesus to intervene and save the life of our loved one.
15:38 So likewise we just pray and trust Jesus Christ. That is a command. But if you do not trust Jesus Christ, then you are not a Christian.
15:50 So of course you do not know Jesus Christ and you do not trust Jesus Christ. You are not born again in the spirit. You are not led by the spirit of God.
15:57 You will feel fear and all that. And you think you have to go against the government and all. No.
16:03 If followers are Jesus Christ, don’t do that. True followers are Jesus Christ. Only time when the particular authority tells you you cannot worship and follow Jesus Christ, no.
16:12 And there you’re going to even unto death, you’re going to stand and accept. Because you absent from the body, present with the Lord unto death, you’ll accept and say no, I cannot. Just like enough stories in the Old Testament.
16:28 Abdek, Shadrach and Abednego, they said, no, we will not bow down to the person, to the king and worship the king, not worship God. So they said they throw you into the big furnace. They said, throw.
16:39 And they were thrown. And Jesus was there to save them from the furnaces. And they were not burned.
16:45 But having said that, Jesus expects us that because you don’t get involved in all this. Because trust Jesus. Trust Jesus and love all love, even your enemy.

00:01 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Brothers and sisters, today the power of Christ Daily 20 December 2015 the belt of Truth. The Belt of Truth Brothers and sisters, let’s remind ourselves. Did we examine ourselves last night? Did we ask for forgiveness from people or certainly revenge as anything? Did we examine ourselves? Did we do the right thing? Did we do the right thing that Jesus wants us to do? Were we allowed our hearts and mind to control us? Did we refer to the Word of God? Did we lean trust in Jesus Christ, trust in the Word of God? Or did we trust in our own mind and what the world has told us or somebody has told us or whatever? Did we walk in the truth? Or did we have our own truth? Our own truth or the world’s truth? Or what they taught us in schools? And what is truth? This what is truth I’ll deal with another day if God leads me to but today there is issue the Belt of Truth.
00:09 The Belt of truth. Ephesians 4:14 I’m reading from the amplified the Belt of Truth so that we are no longer children, spiritually immature. Children in Christ means what Spiritually immature.
01:21 Tossed back and forth like ships on a stormy sea and carried about by every wind of shifting doctrine. This doctrine, that doctrine. They say this, they say that.
01:32 And by the cunning and trickery of unscrupulous men. Cunning and trickery of men, unscrupulous men. People out of the cheaters, out of corners, out of the deceivers, by the deceitful scheming of people ready to do anything for personal profit.
01:50 Now this is very critical, brothers and sisters. Are we tossed about to and fro by every wind of shifting doctrine, by cunning and trickery of unscrupulous men, crooks, wicked, evil, cheaters, liars, deceivers, how to. And by the deceitful scheming of people ready to do anything for personal profit.
02:18 Now, brothers and sisters, sadly there are a lot of people. Of course the world is doing this. I of course have also before born again, I’ve schemed to get for personal profit.
02:28 But after, when I was born again, when God has got me, I know he’s the truth. I have to live in the truth. Otherwise I am the way, the truth and life.
02:33 I am the way, the truth and life. There is another scripture to say. If you are my disciples indeed, then you shall know the truth and the truth will set you free.
02:46 So we have to be disciples of Jesus Christ. I am the way, the truth and life. So what is the truth? The truth is a person.
02:53 It is Jesus Christ, the Truth is not what anybody thinks this way, that way the world tells and all. So if you are my disciples, indeed that means we truly believe Him. If you truly believe him, we will do what he says.
03:05 We will keep his commandments. At least we are willing to keep his commandments and he actually does it for us. Then only we know the truth and then only the truth can set us free.
03:16 That’s a very simple scripture. Go there now here it says people are carried away by this. But sadly I’ve seen people claiming to be Christians.
03:30 They say they’re Christians. In fact I’ve seen people was supposed to be pastors who are doing this deceitfully scheming of people ready to do anything for personal profit. They’re scheming and doing things.
03:44 They’re giving with programs and what have you and tell you, do this way, do that way, enter this program, enter that program, put so much money this way, put so much money that way. And they actually scheming so that they will get profit, so they will get recognition, so there will be promotion. Particularly this happens in the mlm, the multi level marketing.
04:05 It happens like this because they are tempted already. They actually might have been actually wanting to follow Christ. But now they are falling into sin.
04:14 They got caught by the world again. So they begin to tell things to people to join the program so that they do not they can be promoted or they can meet their quota or they can get back the money that they invested and that this has involved thousands of dollars or ringgits for a lot of people lost it. Brothers and sisters, let’s not be moved by this cunning trickery of unscrupulous mental commander.
04:43 In Ephesians 4:14 God says, Do not be moved by the cunning trickery of unscrupulous men. Do not be moved this way and that way, carried away this way, that way. So don’t listen.
04:54 You must use your sound God given mind or take godly counsel. Godly counsel is counsel people are giving where they are not gaining anything. They are only telling the word of God.
05:05 But it may offend you when people tell you the word of God. The truth may offend you. Because your heart and mind might have already decided to do the thing your heart and mind already caught.
05:16 Because our hearts are treacherously wicked. God says and. And who can know it? Who can know it means you don’t know it.
05:23 God is saying, look here my son Chrissy Lutz, your heart is treacherously wicked. Who can know it means he’s telling me, my son Chris eludes you’re a pastor now. I made you a pastor, but you don’t know your own heart.
05:36 But I know my son. I will protect you. You come to me.
05:40 Use my word. Lean on my word. Lean on my commandments.
05:45 Their lives lean on my word, depend on my word. Follow my words. Follow my commandments.
05:51 There are prescriptions to you, Chrisilul, and this is life for you. So brothers and sisters, go to the word of God because it is life. Now in Ephesians 4:14 it is extremely clear.
06:03 Do not fall into cunning and tricks of this unscrupulous man. And cheaters, crooks, they don’t care about you. By the deceitful scheming of people means tricks, you know, this way, that way.
06:17 In Tamil they say tilmil, you know, doing this way, that way convince you ready to do anything for personal profit. For personal profit. Brothers and sisters, if any of you are hearing this today, cry out to Christ.
06:33 If you have done this and people have lost money, stop it. Get out of the schemes. Try and live a simple life in Christ so that Christ will then redeem you.
06:45 Because the truth is Jesus Christ, if you have done anything like this, that means you’re living in a lie and you’re using the lie and cheating people. You might have think, oh, but this is a schema. That’s the rule of the company and all.
07:00 That’s the company’s rule, brothers and sisters, this is God’s rule. Either you’re a Christian or not a Christian. You cannot have both ways.
07:07 You cannot have the world. That’s why God says do not love the world and the things of the world. If you have love of the world and things of the world, you do not have love of Father God in you.
07:19 So brothers and sisters, today important examine yourself. If you have done this, go and ask for forgiveness from each person. You have to ask for forgiveness.
07:29 Why? You have led them into a situation whereby they they have lost money and you have lost credibility and your reputation. Especially for pastors and servants and disciples who claim to be followers of Christ everywhere. The devil will do what you know.
07:45 First of all, he’ll try to steal our reputation first. But once it steals our reputation, once it damages our reputation, then people won’t listen to us as pastors. So now, so there will be people also will be lying.
07:59 Of course there will be people will be lying about pastors and servants and disciples. They may be lying. That is why God put a rule.
08:06 When somebody tells something against a disciple, you must have two or three witnesses. You must have two or three witnesses. Without the witnesses, you don’t believe also.
08:15 Why then you are wrong then if you believe without witnesses, Christian witnesses now who know who are telling the truth, witnesses who are able to tell the truth, witnesses not worldly got together. You know, there are so many witnesses against Jesus Christ, all false, all liars. They got so many witnesses to get.
08:36 Even the high ranking people all got together to kill Christ off. But they didn’t know that’s the plan of God, to let his son be killed and rise again. But you and me are very simple.
08:51 Anybody comes and tells me something about people, I’ll straightaway call the others in the church. That means somebody says something about this, I’ll call one or two come tell me, what did you think? What did you see? What you hear in front of everybody? Why boldly confront the truth? Confront what is the truth? Whatever it is, we’ll take it. So there must be evidence with truthful people giving.
09:16 If you simply listen to people about that pastor, this pastor, you are cursed by God. Understand that the curse comes because God said if you father God, the word of God clearly says if you make slanderous statement or slanderous opinions you form about people without checking, without having evidence, without simply because you like to hear these gossips, it feels good. Oh, that pastor did this, or that servant did this, then God says you are cursed.
09:45 A curse follows. So don’t do that for your own sake. But if the pastor has done some wrong or some accusation has come, the church elders must get together and call the pastor and ask.
09:58 And when he says this and that, and if not clear, call the others. Whoever is involved, whoever is making the accusation, ask them to come and tell in front of this pastor. So people must be able to tell in front of each other.
10:10 And then you will be waiting in the spirit to see what is the truth coming out. You’ll know in the spirit and then two or three witnesses. You cannot just have one person accusing for a pastor and guy, okay, okay, we listen.
10:24 That means everybody the devil will get because the whole world is under the sway of Satan. So those who are not in the truth, not following Christ, are not Christians. They will then get the whole world.
10:36 People who are getting people who are not Christians or half Christians are lying. People who think they’re Christians continue to sin, sin, sin, lie, lie, lie. And they think they are in the truth.
10:48 They will get those people. They will manipulate those people to come tell lies about these elders. That’s how you break churches.
10:54 Don’t listen to anybody who comes and say this pastor did that, or that servant did that, or this disciple did that, you immediately say, okay brother, okay sister, I hear you. Let’s go to the elders, let’s go to the elders and state the thing. And then you better bring along, tell the brother and sister, you please bring two or three witnesses so that we can tell this, because that’s what the God law commands.
11:16 Oh, how can nobody know this? Only I know this, only this. Then how to follow. But then if you come and say only you, they did something only you, then you’re sitting as a counsel.
11:27 Because let us say somebody is accused of rape of a young girl and nobody saw, obviously then you have to sit in counsel and ask the Spirit of God, the spirit of truth to reveal. And you begin. And this is done without personal agenda.
11:44 No personal agenda. It is purely for the truth. Brothers and sisters, in addition to it, today I’m going to deal with the armor of God.
11:52 A part of the armour of God. Ephesians 6, 10, 17. I’m reading from the easy to read version to end my letter.
12:01 I tell you this is Apostle Paul writing, be strong in the Lord and in his great power. Wear the full armour of God. Wear God’s armor so that you can fight against the devil’s clever tricks.
12:15 Devil’s clever tricks. Wear the full armor of God. Wear God’s armor so they can fight against the devil’s clever tricks.
12:21 Our fight is not against people on earth. We are fighting against the rulers and authorities and powers of this world. Darkness, spiritual forces.
12:31 Forces of darkness. We are fighting against the spiritual powers of evil in the heavenly places. That is why you need to get God’s full armor.
12:40 Then on the day of evil you will be able to stand strong. And when you have finished the whole fight, you will still be standing 14. So stand strong with a belt of truth tied around your waist and on your chest.
12:55 Wear the protection of right living. Right living, true living, righteous living. Wear in your chest, put on your chest right living on your feet.
13:10 Wear the good news of peace to help you stand strong. Gospel of peace Want to have peace from within God. And of course we want to live in peace.
13:22 And also use a shield of faith which you can stop all the burning arrows that come from the evil. The shield of faith. Accept God’s salvation as your helmet.
13:35 God’s salvation, accept it as your helmet. Helmet. In your thinking you must be thinking salvation, you must thinking eternity.
13:42 You are thinking Jesus Christ, you must be thinking your ambassador, you must be thinking the priest of God, Holy priest of Christ and take the sword of the Spirit. And the sword is the teaching of God. The word of God, the Father of Spirit will take now these blood and verses I have written in the email.
13:59 The scriptures are quoted. Please get the email and read through. Or go to your old Bibles and read Ephesians 6, 10, 17.
14:06 But I’m reading here today. We are dealing with the truth. I am the way, the truth and life.
14:11 And no one goes to my Father, except through me. And then he says what? I send you the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of truth. And then he says this in the armor of God.
14:22 Wear the full armor of God. Yes, but what is the first thing he’s telling? He’s telling. So stand strong with a belt of truth tied around your waist.
14:33 Without truth, this entire thing, you cannot be a Christian. Without living a truthful life, you cannot be a Christian. That’s why the first thing in the armor of God is the truth.
14:44 Because you can’t come to the truth. If you are disciples of Christ. Indeed the Bible says that means you actually believe and do what he tells you to do.
14:53 Then you are disciples of Christ. Then you should know the truth. And the truth will set you free.
14:58 Now, brothers and sisters, I’ve seen in the 20 years pastors cheating. I’ve seen all these. But I’m telling you brothers, I pity the pastors because they do not know the truth or they have been caught by the world.
15:11 How do you get caught by the world? You keep on looking at the world. The world will get you. You keep on looking at sin.
15:16 Because the eyes, you know, as an English statement will go. And the eyes are the window to the soul. So you keep looking.
15:23 You’re looking, looking. Finally you’re tempted. What happened to King David? He was looking at Bathsheba taking a bath on her roof.
15:32 And Bathsheba’s husband had gone to war. He’s a general. He’s gone to the front line and top General.
15:39 And King David has come out and was seeing this woman bathing on the roof naked, some distance away. He kept staring, staring. Then he got desired and he fell into adultery and took a whole series of trouble for him.
15:53 Brothers and sisters, today you keep looking at the world, looking at the world’s plan. Cannot now any one of you caught in this the time. Yes, it’s tough.
16:02 You fast and pray. Get up fast until your body no more strength. You want to go and ask forgiveness for all these people who have suffered losses because of you.
16:11 Because of you, what you did. Ask Jesus mercy. Lord, give me strength.
16:14 Make me go and do the ask of forgiveness, right thing. So that you are truly the child of the living God. So that you are not given the devil a foothold.
16:22 If you give these kind of things, give the devil a foothold, he will come to steal, kill and destroy. And your life will become a mess. This is a guarantee.
16:30 It’s the word of God. You allow the devil to come and you begin to live like this, telling this, telling that, because you think, I need it. I need money, so I got to do this, I got to do that.
16:39 But God’s word is this. You give the devil a foothold once he comes in and he steals everything, no more peace, no more joy. Relationship will break.
16:48 Families are breaking. Brothers and sisters, today, I’m begging you, please settle this into the power of Christ. In Jesus name I pray.

Luke 2:41-52 Amplified Bible (AMP)
41 Now His parents went to Jerusalem every year for the Passover Feast. 42 And when He was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem, according to the custom of the Feast; 43 and as they were returning [to Nazareth], after spending the required number of days [at the Feast], the boy Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem. Now His parents did not know this,
44 but supposed Him to be in the caravan, and traveled a day’s journey; and [then] they began searching [anxiously] for Him among their relatives and acquaintances. 45 When they did not find Him, they went back to Jerusalem looking for Him [everywhere].
46 Three days later they found Him in the [court of the] temple, sitting among the teachers, both listening to them and asking them questions.
47 All who heard Him were amazed by His intelligence and His understanding and His answers.
48 When they saw Him, they were overwhelmed; and His mother said to Him, “Son, why have You treated us like this? Listen, Your father and I have been [greatly distressed and] anxiously looking for You.”
49 And He answered, “Why did you have to look for Me? Did you not know that I had to be in My Father’s house?”
50 But they did not understand what He had said to them.
51 He went down to Nazareth with them, and was continually submissive and obedient to them; and His mother treasured all these things in her heart.
52 And Jesus kept increasing in wisdom and in stature, and in favor with God and men.

41 Now His parents went to Jerusalem every year for the Passover Feast. 42 And when He was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem, according to the custom of the Feast; 43 and as they were returning [to Nazareth], after spending the required number of days [at the Feast], the boy Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem. Now His parents did not know this,
44 but supposed Him to be in the caravan, and traveled a day’s journey; and [then] they began searching [anxiously] for Him among their relatives and acquaintances. 45 When they did not find Him, they went back to Jerusalem looking for Him [everywhere].
46 Three days later they found Him in the [court of the] temple, sitting among the teachers, both listening to them and asking them questions.
47 All who heard Him were amazed by His intelligence and His understanding and His answers.
48 When they saw Him, they were overwhelmed; and His mother said to Him, “Son, why have You treated us like this? Listen, Your father and I have been [greatly distressed and] anxiously looking for You.”
49 And He answered, “Why did you have to look for Me? Did you not know that I had to be in My Father’s house?”
50 But they did not understand what He had said to them.
51 He went down to Nazareth with them, and was continually submissive and obedient to them; and His mother treasured all these things in her heart.
52 And Jesus kept increasing in wisdom and in stature, and in favor with God and men.

00:00 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Brothers and sisters, today the power of Christ Daily 19th December 2015 My father’s business. My Father’s business. Brothers and sisters, today we’re dealing with really important.
00:16 Everything Jesus has said is important. If I keep somebody, come to me every time that it is important. That is important.
00:23 Everything Jesus Christ has said and done and given his word in his Word. It’s important first of all for us to live. Live well.
00:32 Important. It’s extremely important for our lives, friends. So do not consider this word and that word, oh, this Word of God, you take it lightly.
00:41 No. Every word of God is life. Word of God is life to us, to those who hear it, those who do it.
00:49 So let’s now focus on today’s title, my father’s business. Luke 2. 41:52 I’ll be reading the long event.
00:59 41:52 It’s a real event. Weapon Jesus Christ Amplified Bible 41 now, his parents went to Jerusalem every year for the Passover feast. This Passover feast, for those of us who do not really understand this is simply remember when the.
01:18 When the Egyptian Pharaoh was not allowing Moses and his people to leave. Moses people to leave. And then there was one miracle after another.
01:29 Moses used to use a staff and then there were snakes were formed and all these things. And then when Moses used a staff, it became a snake that follows the magicians there. Pharaoh’s cort also made a lot of snakes.
01:43 Moses the snake from Moses staff ate up all other snakes and things like that. And the whole of Egypt became. The water became like blood.
01:53 There are a number of things that had happened. God was warning Pharaoh after issue after issue. Pharaoh was not listening.
01:59 Then finally, the last time God told Moses to tell his people that all the Israelites go to their houses, sacrifice unblemished lamb and consume it and use the blood and mark the door mark on the outside of the door. That night the angel of the Lord will go and kill the firstborn in the whole of Egypt. Kill the firstborn in the whole of Egypt.
02:32 Firstborn son, I think in the whole of Egypt. So wherever they didn’t have the mark of the blood on the door, the firstborn son of that household dies. Can you imagine? Whole of Egypt.
02:45 Now the Israelites did exactly that. And there were other things. God told how to eat and what to do, the balance and all that.
02:52 There are issues. But that mark of the blood, that’s a symbol. We have the blood of Jesus Christ.
02:59 If you have the blood of Jesus Christ, the mark of the blood on you, you will not be touched by Satan. You have power over Satan. This is a very, very important thing.
03:09 So this mark. So when the angel of the Lord went, when he sees the mark, it just bypasses the house. When there’s no mark, the blood of the lamb on the door, it goes in and takes the life of the firstborn boy or firstborn child.
03:24 Now, brothers and sisters, that is the parcel of the feast. So from that time they had a feast every year they’ll do this feast now in this. That’s why everything has got.
03:34 God has put some parallels. When he did in Moses time, when Jesus comes as the lamb that died and suffered and spilled blood for us. And now we have the mark of Jesus blood on us.
03:50 Brothers, this is a fantastic thing. It’s a powerful thing. It’s a loving thing.
03:55 The loving God gives his own blood and marks me with his blood. Mark yourself. Mark yourself.
04:03 Today one of our sisters is in hospital. And the sister’s mother, who is following POCD regularly, of course, we pray for her. We pray for her sister Maria, we pray for her faith to hold.
04:15 We pray for sister Maria’s faith to hold. And. And Jesus, show mercy.
04:28 Mercy for Patricia, the daughter. Because there will be turmoil. There will be issues going on in so many lives today, there will be issues in the morning.
04:38 But the Lord delivers us from them all. Delivers us from them all. Brothers and sisters, today let us have a thought for this sister Maria.
04:50 Because love one another as he has loved us. He has loved us. Love one another as he has loved us.
04:55 Brothers and sisters, today our hearts must be in one accord. That Maria’s faith will hold. Sister Maria’s faith will hold.
05:03 And she will believe in Jesus Christ completely. Her faith is in the faith of Jesus Christ. Her faith must be in the faith of Jesus Christ and not anything else.
05:12 Not in people. Do some other prayers to other things that other people. No, no.
05:17 Only on Jesus Christ. And that faith must hold. And that faith, Lord Jesus, make her hold her faith in you, Lord.
05:25 And for sister Patricia, who just accepted the Lord, for her to turn completely to you and to know you are the one who has marked her with your own blood. Who has marked Patricia with your own blood, Lord Jesus Christ, like you marked those who come to you. In Jesus name I pray.
05:46 Amen. And she’ll be healed. And both of them will become the kind of servants they have to be in Christ to declare the goodness of the Lord, not only in the healing, but about the sacrifice Jesus did and to bring peace into people’s lives, to Set the captive free.
06:05 Present research today Every day. Now this is the father’s business at 43s. And as they were returning to.
06:14 So they went to Jerusalem. He was 12 years old at the time. They all went to Jerusalem because of the Passover feast.
06:20 And then they were returning after spending the required number of days in the feast. The boy Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem. The parents didn’t know this.
06:28 Now his parents did not know this, but they supposed him to be in the caravan. Why? It’s a large group goes. A whole village goes to Jerusalem for this feast.
06:42 And traveled a day’s journey. One day’s journey has gone. And they are believing that the sun, the earthly sun.
06:49 What? The heavenly sun. They are earthly people. They do not know all the mysteries that God is doing.
06:55 And they’re not completely aware, but supposed to be. They supposed to aim to be one of the caravans and travel the day of journey. And they began searching anxiously for him among the relatives after the day’s journey.
07:09 Because it takes several days. So one day journey. And then they all are camped or whatever.
07:15 And they searching among the relatives and quitters. When they did not find him, they went back. They had to go back to Jerusalem.
07:20 They went back to Jerusalem looking for him everywhere. Three days later. Now can you imagine? One day journey has gone.
07:27 And then the one day journey back they had to go to Jerusalem. Two days already. Three days later.
07:33 They’re searching now in Jerusalem for three days. Three days later they found him. That means altogether five days.
07:39 I’m believing you are talking about here. One day they went. One day they had to come back to Jerusalem.
07:44 And then three days they are searching. Three days later they found him in the court of the temple, sitting among the teachers, both listening to them and asking them questions. All heard him were amazed by his intelligence and his understanding and his answers.
08:00 Jesus was answering them, 12 years old, answering them, what’s the question? He asked a question. He listens to them and ask them questions. And they were shocked, amazed by his intelligence and understanding and his answers.
08:14 They were so shocked because first of all, why that answers all is coming from Father God. 48 and he was, is and ever will be. Jesus Christ was, is, ever will be.
08:26 Obviously, Spirit knew all day. His spirit knew, of course, a body, the earthly body. He has to go on the sacrifice to shed his blood for me and for you.
08:36 But his spirit, he is alive. He, Jesus Christ was, is and ever will be. He is the word of God who was with God.
08:47 He was in God. He was God. And he came down to become, took over the flesh of a man as a man, and took the form of a man to be with us.
08:56 And his name is Immanuel, meaning God with us now, brothers and sisters, when they saw him, they were overwhelmed. And his mother said to him, son, why have you treated us like this? Some translations will say, why have you done this to us? Now this is what most parents do. Why have you done this to me? Why are you doing this to us? That’s not going to solve the problem, isn’t it? To find out.
09:23 No need to. So why are you treating us like that? Why have you done this to us? Not that. Why have you done this? Is there something that you’re doing? Is there something you need to do? Not why have you treated us like this? Why have you done this to me? Why did you do this? Why have you done this to us? Parents, let’s change.
09:44 When a child is doing something, we’re looking why is a child doing this? Not, why is the child doing this to me? It’s a pathetic, soft pity party story. Parents, we must understand this. Children are under all kinds of pressures these days.
09:59 Fellows are telepathically sending messages into the children. So now vaccinations are causing poisonous vaccination, some of them polluted ones, causing mercury in them. Causing.
10:10 They say mercury doesn’t cause anything, but they causing mercury poisoning. So all this is going on now. Having said this.
10:16 So when a child doing something, your first question should be, why is the child acting like this? Is there something that’s happening? Where is the information coming? What is it that I have not done? Or what is it that I am doing as a parent that is causing this? Is there anything I am doing causing this? Is there something that I should do? Maybe I didn’t cast out the spirit. Maybe I didn’t talk about Jesus Christ to the child. Maybe I was afraid to deal with the child because afraid the child run away.
10:44 So I won’t use God’s word in correcting them. Why have you treated us like this? Why have you done this to us? Now listen. Listen.
10:53 The mother is saying, mary, listen. Your father and I have been greatly distressed and anxiously looking for you. That’s true.
11:02 That’s true. 49. And he answered, why did you have to look for me? Why did you have to look for me? Like, you know, in a modern language, duh, duh.
11:08 Why did you have to look for me? Duh. What silly nonsense is this? Why did you have to look for me? That is the meaning in the modern language. Why did you have to look for me? Jesus is shocked and asking this, did you not know that I had to be in my Father’s house? Did you not know that I had to be in my Father’s house? Some translation will say, did you not know that I have to be about my Father’s business? About my Father’s business.
11:38 Father’s business will be in his Father’s house. So he is saying, hey, what is happening here? Why did you have to look for me? You should just come here and you will find me here. You must know.
11:49 Did you not know that? You must have known that I must be in my Father’s house. Now remember earlier, Mary is telling your father and I have been greatly your Father and I. He said, I have to be in my Father’s house. I have to be in my Father’s house.
11:59 I have to be about my Father’s business. But they did not understand verse 15, what he had said to them. Can you imagine? So Mary herself, although she’s blessed to have to carry the human baby, the human casing the human baby in a womb, she has to carry and she’s blessed to carry that to bring the human part of Jesus into fruition.
12:31 Fruition, bear fruit. But did not understand she doesn’t know the full story. He went down to Nazareth with them and was continually submissive and obedient to them.
12:42 And his mother treasured all these things in her heart. Okay, now he was continually submissive, verse 52. And Jesus kept increasing wisdom and stature and favour with God and men.
12:56 Now all things Father God wants him to be full because now we have taken on the form of a man. I suppose it’s like a computer hard drive. Fill up the information so God is filling.
13:14 But his spirit man would have known. But his heart and mind and all that has to be trained in the ways of Father God to fulfill what Father God wants him to do. So now he is God himself.
13:32 But now Father God has to fill Jesus Christ into everything that Father God wants him to do, wants him to obey, wants him to go. Now remember, he increased in wisdom and sincere and favour with God and men. How he was continually submissive and obedient to them, to brother Joseph and sister Mary.
13:54 He is cordially submissive and obedient to them and therefore obey your parents. Submit to your parents even though you may think they are wrong. Look, submit your parents over.
14:07 Listen, even when you are thinking they are wrong, that’s not the issue. Unless they are asking you to commit sin. No committing sin, no because the husband of your soul, the Creator, the Son of the living God, Jesus Christ of Nazareth, tells you, no sin, be holy, no sin.
14:28 And he’s given us power to overcome sin. So don’t do this, don’t do this. Submit to parents, yes, but when they ask you to sin, cannot sin.
14:36 Then one can run away. You know, I used to. My father used.
14:40 I’ve told you before, my father used to. Used to be with me before he passed away for many years. And at a later age in life, of course his mind was also affected and all that.
14:51 Now when I came to the Lord, I used to be very rough with him. I used to use four letter words on him also. Can you imagine? Now of course, all the curses came and whacked me and I was messed up.
15:01 I was messed up for so many things, including curses coming. Because I am just treating my father. He was.
15:07 I was thinking of him. I was thinking of him, my wife was thinking of him. My family was there taking care of him.
15:12 But I was rough, foul mouthed and I just throw him, you know, whack him by words, by words, by words. Just cutting words and use foul words. But when I came to the Lord, I realized that this is one of the curses that come upon me.
15:30 So after that I went and asked forgiveness from my father and all that and settle. And then, then thereafter, after that, when he talks something that is not right and wrong, something wrong and all that, I’ll simply say sorry, Pa, sorry, pie. And I’ll run off.
15:42 Why I’m. Now that I’m 43 years old, 43 years old, running off. Why I’m running off? I don’t want to get a curse on myself.
15:50 I just don’t. I know it’s wrong, but I don’t want to get involved with that. I just run off.
15:54 Brothers, discuss today. Just run off from your parents if they’re doing something and all. But have good thoughts and love for them.
16:00 Even if you want favor from God, if you want not to be cursed like I was cursed, stop this. Love your parents, love your parents, submit your parents. But sin cannot do.
16:10 Submit to the husband of your soul. Brothers and sisters, today are we going about our father’s business now? Who is it? The father’s house now? The temple of God. Temple of God is earth.
16:20 You know, the body he does not stay in. Yesterday we dealt with it. He does not live in a temple made of hands.
16:26 He leaves the temple made of by him. There’s a body now. The temple of God is you.
16:31 Now are you going about your father’s business? Is your temple kept holy? Are you looking at this now? We are known as to rush to a building somewhere. You are carrying. You are in the temple, your temple moving around with you.
16:42 The Father’s house is moving with you. Brothers and sisters, understand this and let us go about our Father’s business today and every day, every moment. When we do making some decisions in the world, we look at what our Father’s business says.
