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.
