00:01 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Brothers and sisters, today the Power of Christ Daily 18th of October 2015 titled the Devil’s Blessing. The Devil’s Blessing. It looks like a ridiculous title.
00:14 The devil giving blessings. We will find out as we go along that it is true because and people are duped with it. Now in yesterday’s Power of Christ Daily segment Love God and know thyself.
00:30 I talked about how I was already drinking against God, opposing God and all that. And I still became an Aston general manager of a huge insurance company which eventually was the Arab Nation Assurance company is one of the big big groups in Malaysia now. Then later I started my own company.
00:50 Within two, three years I a blasphemer using fold adverse and God. Now can you imagine this? And sexually immoral and all that. Adulterer and all that.
00:59 Yet my company grew very fast within 2, 3 years actual valuation, actualist valuation because I was doing insurance work and it was valued at $4 million in 8990 how and how I’m against God, I’m doing wrong things and I’m being blessed. That’s why brothers and sisters, we must understand God’s blessing is different from devil’s blessing. Devil also blesses.
01:27 How do we know this? Now we look at this thing when Matthew Matthew 4, 8, 10 in the revised Catholic edition I’m taking Matthew 4, 8, 10 again. The devil took him to who? Jesus Christ, the son of the living God. The devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor, the magnificence and all that.
01:55 And then he said to him, said to Jesus, the devil is speaking to Jesus. All this I’ll give you if you’ll fall down and worship me. Then Jesus said to him, away with you, Satan.
02:06 For it is written, worship the Lord your God and serve him. Only in some translation will say forever. It is written, worship your God.
02:14 Away. Get away, Satan. Like that.
02:17 And Satan had to go. Now just understand this. The devil took him to a high mountain and showed him all the world splendor and magnificence.
02:26 I’ll give you this. It’s all material things, you know. I’ll give you all this if you bow down and worship me.
02:34 So how was I bowing down worship to Satan? I. I was bowing down to worship to Satan. I didn’t go around and say, in fact, I’m so confused the time I think I know. This is another problem.
02:47 I used to think I know. Now we know. If we think we know anything, we do not know something.
02:49 If we think we know something, we do not know anything. As I ought to know as yet as I should. That time I was thinking I know so much and actually by world standard I know a lot.
03:03 But then the spiritual verse 0 I knew and I talk like that with confidence and people follow now but the thing is this, what is this? How was I worshipping Satan? In fact you know what I’ll do while I’m drinking or whatever anybody say talk about Satan and devil. I say what devil I am Lucifer. I will say I was so demonized, you know, actually now and then, and then back them, back them again.
03:30 No, the time terrible things I used to do. Now having said this now, how was I worshipping Satan? By my conduct, by my conduct. I was not worshipping God.
03:41 As long as you’re not worshipping God, you are worshipping Satan full stop. If you have not gone to Almighty God, the Father God then you’re going to all these small gods and all Satan takes control. Why? The small gods have no power to give you.
03:55 Jesus Christ gives you power to cast out Satan. Jesus Christ gives you power to cast out Satan and then you believe in Jesus Christ, you will cast out Satan in his name. In Jesus Christ’s name.
04:06 Now let’s look at another thing. Many people think when Jesus came, died on the cross and rose again and then went back to heaven, sit at the right hand side of Father God. Everybody thinks the whole world now controlled by Jesus.
04:21 Very untrue. 1 John 5:19 is written I think 10, 15 years later you know, 1st John 10, 5:19 we know amplified, we know for a fact that we are of God and the whole world around us lies in the power of the evil one opposing God and his precepts. The evil one is devil, Satan.
04:44 The whole world lies in the power of Satan. Now King James will say the whole world lies in the sway of Satan. Chantic Virtual would say the whole world lies in the power.
04:53 I think now you see APostle John writing 10, 15 years later or whatever about the whole world lying under the after Jesus had left. 10, 15 years after Jesus left, the whole world is lying under the power of Satan. How is this possible? Because the world kingdoms are still controlled by Satan.
05:18 The ruler of the world is Satan. The God of the world is Satan. So when will this end? When Jesus comes again.
05:25 The second coming. When he comes and destroys all evil and then he takes control and that is when we will also become co rulers with him. That is when this will end.
05:36 When you and I, brothers and sisters, that is why the calling is a very huge calling. It’s an important calling. To be a Christian.
05:40 To be a Christian is a big thing. But people have made it like nothing. You know, just I am Christian, so I’m suffering.
05:49 And hey, you have power to cast out evil spirits. And you are a child of God, child of the Almighty God who made the heavens and the earth. It’s a great thing, wonderful thing, big thing.
06:02 But the thing is they become a religion, just a religion. I’ll go kneel down, put some candles and then listen to the world’s way of thinking. Don’t check the scriptures, please, please, brothers, don’t even just touch.
06:16 Stop and listening to me. Get to the scriptures, read the scriptures and begin to meditate. And then you begin to understand what is this? Any, any Bible, Any, any denomination you have been taken.
06:26 Read, please. And then you see what is this? The whole world and the power of the evil one. Then you begin, your eyes will begin to open.
06:34 Why then you can explain a lot of things. Earthquakes caused by Satan. You know what they’ll do? Because even in the ancient terminology will be act of God.
06:43 Earthquake. Hey, our God doesn’t do earthquakes. Get this straight.
06:47 Our God loves us. Our God doesn’t go the Old Testament, I told you all. There’s a segment there because Nephilim, the genealogy will be is being destroyed so that Jesus cannot have a pure human genealogy to come as son of man.
07:04 He cannot do that. That’s why the devil is trying to create all the whole world, the genealogy to become Nephilim. So that is why groups of ammonites or whatever, they all had to be destroyed because they were actually not human beings anymore.
07:17 They were all Nephilim types because the sons, they call it the angels, the fallen angels, had sexual relations with the daughters of men whom they found beautiful and whom they took. Whoever they want to take, they take. Whichever girl they want to take, they take and then had sexual intercourse and produced these giants called Nephilims.
07:37 And this is another segment earlier, under Nephilim. N E P H I L I M Nephilim. Go and search for that.
07:45 Listen to the segment that is why the Old Testament God was doing all this. In the New Testament, Jesus has come and risen again and give us an age of dispensation. He says, okay, I don’t look at your sins first.
07:56 All turn to Jesus. I’ll give you power. I’ll wash away your sins and you will become righteous because of my sacrifice.
08:04 Oh, Jesus Christ, his sacrifice and he died for us. And rose again. Now, brothers and sisters, that is why, once you understand the whole world is under the power of the evil one.
08:16 You begin to see clearly. But also remember, mysteries are only for those who love God, who want to follow, want to be disciples of Christ, who want to follow him. Mysteries are not for everybody.
08:28 This is again, you know, in the mountaintop, he tells parables. Therefore, when he takes the disciples away. And then I think it was Peter who asked him, why do you talk in parables there? And you are willing to explain to us these mysteries are only for you, disciples of Christ.
08:44 So we want what is disciples of Christ disciplined in Christ. Is simple as that. No need to have so much complications.
08:51 Theology complicates people and makes them know better. They remain where they are, thinking about the theology. This way and that way and this way and that way.
09:01 Writing one book and many books. But no power to cast out evil ones. No power to cast out demons.
09:07 And then don’t do it. Even on their power, they don’t exercise the power. And then when you don’t cast out the evil one, what does the evil do? The evil one will take control of you.
09:16 If you don’t cast out evil spirits, the evil spirits will take control of us. Better understand this. They are not asking for my permission to enter me.
09:25 They are only waiting that if I have no power, I don’t use my power. Or I begin to give a foothold. As God said.
09:32 Do not give the devil a foothold. If I begin to give a foothold, the devil knows and the evil ones know. The demons know.
09:37 They enter me. They take control of me. That’s why it’s what the foothold.
09:41 I go drinking. Drinking, Drinking. Yes.
09:45 Drunkenness is sin. Drinking is not sin. God didn’t say drinking is sin.
09:49 You can drink some wine and this and that. But I have decided not to drink even wine. Why? Because Jesus said, I will not drink from the fruit of this wine again.
10:00 Until I see you in my Father’s kingdom. Until I see you in my Father’s kingdom where he lays a table for us. So I said, I can wait you.
10:09 Drinking wine is not sin, brothers. But I decided not to even drink a drop of alcohol. I drank so much before and drunk it.
10:17 So I made this covenant. I don’t want to drink anymore. Even the thing I let go.
10:21 Because that’s one way of controlling my flesh, controlling myself. No, I will not drop. I will not drink this.
10:27 If another day God tells me to drink wine, I will drink it. By the way, I’m telling You this why everything now must be led by the spirit of God, not by me, my me. I know I messed up.
10:39 I was against God now. So coming back to the blessing business. So the devil gives blessings and dupes people to believe because the whole world looks at the material wealth world.
10:50 So material wealth means, oh, this man is blessed, he is from God. So anybody in the church, somebody is growing with material wealth and all, they do not know whether he’s cheating at the back or lying to people. And there are contractors, Christian contractors, they call themselves, don’t pay their workers properly, don’t pay the subcontractors properly.
11:08 All this be going on and then say we are Christians. And then they justify it, you know, and then they think they are being blessed by the ruler of the world, but they are being blessed by the power of the evil one. Because he said, jesus, I will give you all of this.
11:25 So how are they worshipping Satan? By not following the precepts of Christ, you end up worshipping Satan. If you refuse to follow the precepts of Christ, you end up following Satan. You can have a form of religion.
11:38 The person can come there and worship front row because he’s got money and the church is expecting him to give money to pay their rental or building fund or whatever they give them front row, they’ll be worshipping and all that. And everybody will think, he’s blessed, he’s blessed, the pastor will be held accountable by Jesus Christ. I’m telling you this why, if you allow a person who’s doing his worldly ways and making riches and all that and giving in the front seat, you’re making all the congregation without thinking that that blessing is the worldly blessing, is what God gives worldly blessing.
12:13 Of course we need, God will give us, God provides for us. But you are making pastors, I’m telling you, you allow the rich people to sit down there. And then if the person is rich and is obedient to Christ’s brother or sister, oh, give them.
12:28 And if they’re obedient to Christ brother and sister, they’ll take the last seat. Why? Jesus said, what? Because do not go and get a front seat, Go and sit at the back. Jesus says to us, do not put yourself first, put yourself last.
12:41 So if they are actually true brothers and sisters, they are prepared to be humble. If they are not humble and they are demanding front seat, or you decide to put them up on a pedestal and put them in the front seat and then what are you doing? The rest of the congregation are looking at These people and saying, only when you have this kind of money, you are actually being blessed by God, Jesus Christ. So if you don’t have this kind of money, you have not been blessed by Jesus Christ.
13:05 That enters their soul, isn’t it? It enters their psyche. It enters their subconscious. And who is guilty of this? You, Pastor? God will hold you accountable.
13:14 Now, who is guilty of this? What will God will do? He said, the temptation offenses will come. But woe to the one who brings or allows this temptation to come. Destruction.
13:24 We don’t want all these brothers. Let’s change. Let’s change.
13:27 Now this again. Blessings from Satan. Here God says in Proverbs 10:22, Proverbs 10:22, it says, the blessing of the Lord brings true riches.
13:36 Amplified. The blessing of the Lord brings true riches. It’s an amplified Bible.
13:42 And he adds no sorrow to it. For it comes as a blessing from God. It comes as a blessing from God.
13:48 So what happened to me? The devil gave me blessings and then brought sorrow, untold sorrow, step by step, the devil came to steal, kill and destroy my. My health. Finished.
14:00 I was dying already in the hospital. I was dying. And then they sent me home to die.
14:03 Because they cannot do anything. Then only Jesus, you know, mercy. Then only I had to finally go to Jesus.
14:09 I have no choice, no, cannot go anywhere else. And he showed mercy now, brothers and sisters. So when the devil gives a blessing, he will bring sorrow step by step.
14:18 And God, Jesus through blessing is everything. It’s not just money and your needs, material needs, it’s a relationship, it’s your family. Your children are growing up.
14:29 They love you, they care for you, your children, all that. God will make it happen. Even for a few years.
14:35 If one child or two children don’t care for you or whatever, God will change them later because he said, teach them his ways. And they will not go far from it. When they grow older.
14:47 When they grow older, they will not go far from it. Teach them your way. So I have to teach my children Jesus ways.
14:55 And so even if you are teaching your children Jesus ways, and some don’t know listening this and that, don’t fret and don’t be panicked. Surrender them to Christ, but keep on teaching them, correcting them. Surrender them to Christ.
15:09 And your hope in faith is because you believe you and your household will be saved. And at a later date, you’ll find these children changing again, changing back to Christ because you’ve been teaching his ways. So the blessings of Christ, no sorrow comes.
15:24 The blessings of the devil. Sorrow follows. It’s a question of time.
15:28 You’ll see all kinds of mess. I know millionaire friends because I was myself constantly a billionaire with a company business. Isn’t it so now? So all my cookies are like that Do I? But God took me out.
15:40 Jesus Christ showed mercy and took me out. And so many of my friend are suffering in all kinds of things. There are money, they have money.
15:49 They have plenty. Even brothers and sisters, let’s understand this. The devil also blesses.
15:57 And we unwittingly, many unwittingly, unknowingly begin to worship the devil. Because they begin to worship the worst things, the material things. And they begin to worship the devil because they do not worship Christ.
16:10 Christ in the whole counsel of Christ. In the true precept of Christ. In Jesus name.
16:15 Today I pray that all are turned. All the eyes of the understanding will open and their hearts will come to Christ. That’s what I pray.
16:24 All those who are listening the hearts will turn to Jesus Christ and know that he’s the husband of your souls. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.

00:01 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Brothers and sisters, today the power of Christ Daily 17th of October 2015. Love God, know thyself. Love God, know thyself.
00:13 Before we start on the topic, yesterday a sister wanted to know that we are repeating these scriptures, certain scriptures below in the email we are repeating several scriptures again and again. And what is the reason? It’s a good question, brothers and sisters. The reason is this.
00:33 If we can follow these fundamental scriptures. First of all, God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble. If we can follow that, be a doer, you’ll be blessed because more grace will come to you.
00:47 And then if you begin to meditate on this particular scripture, when your heart wants to be proud, whenever people say something, you immediately the Spirit of God, the Holy Spirit will bring to memory. 4, 6 God gives grace to the humble. Opposers are proud.
01:01 You will immediately stop and you’ll be pleasing to God. Now another one is 2nd Corinthians 13 5. Examine yourself, test yourself and your own selves.
01:12 Test your own self, evaluate your own self. Unless your counterfeits. This is from the Amplified I took.
01:18 The earlier one I took from the Catholic version. This one I take my Amplified. This is a more extended version.
01:23 Test and prove yourself so that we are not fake Christians. From time to time we need to examine and test ourselves. So this is another reminder.
01:30 These are fundamentals, these are basics that we can keep us safe, keep us successful. Successful not the way the world thinks. You know, the successful means money, money, money.
01:40 But their marriage is all broken up, children all hate them. Everybody and the community may hate them. And money, money going on.
01:47 That is not the success. Success in Christ is so many things, relationship, relationship with others, you know, we’re first pleasing God, you know, I’ll deal with that another day now. So this evaluate ourselves, these will keep us good.
02:04 We live a great life, peaceful life. And people be drawn to us while we are salt and light from inside. Galatians 6:3 if anyone thinks himself to be something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.
02:17 This comes to me. I remind these things for myself. I put it here because I have been reminding myself these things and this has helped me.
02:24 That’s why I put it here. If anyone thinks himself to be something when he’s nothing, he deceives himself Every time. Mahaj will think those days I’m something, you know, terrible.
02:32 And even recently I said I gave a segment, I sinned yesterday, I sinned yesterday. I put a segment why it happened and 1st Corinthians 8:2 that’s Galatians 6:3. If anyone thinks himself to be something, 1st Corinthians 8:2.
02:49 If anyone think they know something, do not know anything yet as they should. So therefore the last one of course, love God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength. Love your neighbour as yourself and do this and you will live.
03:03 Meaning we don’t love our neighbor ourselves. We will not live. These are reminders.
03:07 These are fundamentals. God has put us for us and for our safety. In Jesus name we pray.
03:12 Thank you sister. And so that made me now explain this properly. Let’s look at the Scriptures.
03:20 Today I added one additional one which I’m going to keep repeating. James 1:22. James 1:22.
03:26 I’m taking from the King James Version. Be doers of the word and not hearers, only deceiving yourselves. Be doers of the word and not hearers, only deceiving yourselves.
03:38 James 4. That one we talked about in James 4. I take my Catholic version is God opposes the proud and gives grace to the humble brother and sister.
03:48 Today the title is Love God, know thyself. Love God, know thyself. Now let’s look at this first of all, you see any worthwhile motivational book or motivational speaker or success speaker, you know all this.
04:06 You know self development, self development, speakers and theories and logics and all. They will all boil down to one thing. It has to be internally changed.
04:19 You have to change insight. They come to that point, you have to change insight. Only when you change insight, then the success will come to you.
04:29 They will tell you. Where do you think they got this from? They got it from the word of God. They only don’t want to claim it, Jesus Christ.
04:37 They claim it as if it’s their own new under the sun. God says so they take it and change it this way, that way and make a big motivational thing. And millions of people follow and become multi millionaires and life goes on.
04:50 But actually follow the Christ. No need all that. You just follow Jesus Christ.
04:55 What he says, you will have a great life. Even when trouble comes. You will be able to overcome, endure.
05:01 You’ll be able to endure. The motivational speaker can say it must change from inside. And then after that you know the secret.
05:09 The secret. There’s one thing that’s going on. The secret.
05:11 The secret, the secret that’s not secret. Jesus has already written it down. And then they’ll say it’ll attract to you.
05:17 You know, money will come to you because you change from inside. And money will, you know, money hears your call so all this story goes on now, but actually God said, don’t put your faith in money. Put your faith in God, in Jesus Christ.
05:33 Money will be used. God talks about money many times. He knows we need money.
05:38 So therefore and money by itself is not an evil thing. Money is not evil. By the way, many people think money is evil.
05:46 No, money is not evil. God’s word says. Jesus clearly says, check your scriptures, brothers and sisters.
05:51 Jesus word says what? The love of money is the root of all evil. It’s the love of money that’s the root of all evil. Money is not the root of all evil or money is even not evil.
06:02 It is just something that we need to use. But it’s finally inside us our heart begin to love the thing that is why then becomes problem. It’s a root all evil begin to come now.
06:16 And actually self seeking is another serious thing. Now the title is love God know thyself. That is why we have to know ourselves.
06:25 But how to know ourselves? If you love God, you’ll begin to know yourself. You love God means what happens if you love God, you want to do what he says. Now many people I’ve seen over the years pity, you know, because they don’t settle some scriptures.
06:40 Let’s take 1 first Romans 12:1 I’m going to first read from the King James Version and then I’m going to read from the Catholic version. They slight the difference in the words by means the same. Romans 12:1 King James Version New King James Version I beseech you therefore brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice wholly acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.
07:11 What are we supposed to do? Present our bodies a living sacrifice. Because of course our bodies are living, holy and acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. Now in Romans 12:1 Catholic version says New Revised Editions Version Catholic Edition titled as the new life in Christ.
07:32 I appeal to you therefore brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. There in the King James it says reasonable service. And here it says spiritual worship.
07:51 And when you go to the Hebrew and you go to amplified and go to the Hebrew meanings and all it combines both. Actually it’s a reasonable service expected us to do this and it’s also spiritual worship but starts with keeping our bodies holy and acceptable as a living sacrifice. Now we take this scripture, the title is know thyself.
08:13 We begin to know ourselves. Are we keeping this? Now this word of God Are we doers of the Word if we are not doer of the Word? The Word of God says we deceive ourselves. We deceive ourselves.
08:26 We are deluded. We are deluding ourselves. So many come to Christ and nobody tells them, hey, you’re going to be a doer of the Word.
08:34 They say I’m Christian, I’m Christian. But nobody stops and tells them, brother, you got to be doer of the Word. First of all, humble, do, do, do become humble.
08:45 You want to be humble. You want to be humble. So grace will come.
08:51 So some will say, I give up grace, I got grace, I work in grace, grace, grace. And they are proud. And that means there’s no grace from God.
08:59 That means some other party is giving them whatever they’re succeeding in. Because even the world people who are doing evil, if you identify success as just money and position in the world, then the world people all must be so holy. Why? Because they all been successful, isn’t it? So many world people are CEOs and this and that they go, they do evil things and yet they become owners of multi billions and whatnot.
09:26 Of course not all are doing evil things to become multi millionaires and billionaires. But let us say multi. There’s some wrong that we do because without Christ, sin cannot come out of us.
09:37 Without Christ that’s a given. Only the blood sacrifice of Christ can wash our sins away. No religious activity can.
09:45 I can go and kneel down and put so many candles, it’s not going to work. I receive the blood of Jesus Christ in faith. I receive him to be my lord and master in faith.
09:56 My faith is in the faith of Jesus Christ to settle me. Then I am now born again. My spirit man is now attached.
10:04 Spirit of God attaches. Christ is inside me now because I want him to be my lord and master, the husband of my soul. Then only the things will work.
10:16 But the world people, if they are doing evil and all that, so do not equate this kind of success. Oh, I got a blessing, I got some good job, great job. And then they’re proud and proud.
10:28 God said he gives proud opposers. So if he’s opposing, how did you get a great job? Then the God of this world, God calls him Satan as the God of this world has given it to you. Because if you’re proud, God says he opposes.
10:44 Right now if we are proud, if I’m proud, God says he opposes. Now in the world before I used to use four letter words on Jesus Christ. Can you imagine what a I was terrible Terrible.
10:55 And he gave me mercy, showed me mercy. Now having said that, what happened? Even then I was assistant general manager of an insurance company, which is the Arab Malaysian company. After that, as a general manager.
11:11 So I’m doing wrong things, I’m drunkard, I’m doing sexual immorality and all that. And then after that I started my own business two, three years and the business progressed so much. And actual valuation, actuarial, actual valuation, because I’m doing insurance work, actual valuation of my company at the time was already worth I think 4 million or something at that time.
11:34 You’re talking about 87, 89, 99, 89. The valuation was based on 89 or 90. It is 4 million worth at the time.
11:43 Now I was doing wrong things against God, using four letter words on Jesus Christ. So how was I progressing? The God of this world was giving me. The God of this world was giving me.
11:56 So brothers and sisters, don’t get mistaken. Just because you are blessed with something and suddenly you felt so good and then you think that God is blessing you. No, God was.
12:05 If I was against God and I was being blessed. Blessed with what? All these worldly things. Start a company within two, three years, I think, valued at few million dollars.
12:17 Start from zero. How? And so the industry was thinking what a great guy I am and this and that. But you see, inside I’m dying.
12:26 Inside I was dying. Brothers and sisters, don’t follow this. So worldly goods come to you.
12:32 Don’t think God is blessing you. God blesses. God opposes the proud.
12:37 Proud. So if you are proud, so you check yourself, you’re proud and you’re still getting blessings. Better check again.
12:43 It’s a ruler of the world giving you. Is the God of this world giving you? And then what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his own soul? Now, brothers and sisters, coming to this, presenting your body as a living sacrifice. You see, I’m so sad.
13:01 Some people retire, they want to do the work of God. They want to do the work of God. They start traveling, they retire because money, EPF money has come.
13:08 So they want to do for God. They go here, go there and sort of mission fields, it seems actually nothing. They’re just going to visit some churches there and not.
13:17 They’re really not bringing anything of value. If you’re going there and casting out demons, setting the captives free, speaking of Christ and you’re doing these things. Yes, but at the same time, God doesn’t care about that first.
13:28 Because you know why? There’s one scripture, Jesus Said, you know what they’ll call me? Lord. Lord. And they’ll say, we cast out demons in youn name.
13:38 We heal the sick in youn name. And Jesus said, he will turn around and say, get away from me, you evildoers. Get away from me.
13:46 I do not know you. Can you imagine these people are casting out evil spirits, demons in his name and yet healing the sick in his name. And yet Jesus said, I’ll tell them, get out from me.
13:56 I don’t know you. Now because of this, when I was casting out evil spirits from the beginning itself, because evil spirits entered of me. So I was casting this out in the name of Jesus Christ.
14:06 Putting advertisements, the papers and all. I used to wonder that time I told God, I don’t want to do this. And fall into that scripture where you tell me to get out.
14:11 I don’t want Lord Jesus, I don’t want to do this. I don’t want to cast out demons. I heal the sick and then been told to get out there.
14:20 So Isaac, then God said, look, that is for evildoers. You don’t do any evil. You use my power and do the right thing and you won’t be cast out.
14:29 Thank you, Lord Jesus. Thank you Lord Jesus. Then I started doing the work.
14:33 Now presenting our bodies as acceptable is a reasonable service of worship. So going and becoming a great singer there great worship leader is not going to work until your body is kept holy. Living sacrifice acceptable to Christ.
14:48 Now brothers and sisters, this is another thing. If a bride on a wedding day, the bridegroom says, for the reception, wear a green dress for the reception. Yes, white dress.
15:00 For the marriage ceremony itself. For the reception, wear a green dress or green saree. Will the bride go and purposely go and do a red saree? Red be read.
15:09 No, I write red. This is exactly what’s happening in Christendom. I follow Jesus Christ, but I will do what I want.
15:16 He says, keep your bodies holy. No, I will go to Mission Field. Keep your bodies holy.
15:17 No, I will go to Mission field. First be humble. No, I will go to Mission Field.
15:24 I will do this. I will do that. Brothers and sisters, first of all, examine yourself.
15:29 Examine yourself. Critical issue. Examine yourself so that you prove yourself that you are not fake Christians.
15:35 2nd Corinthians 13:5amplified we have to do this. So it starts with knowing ourselves. When we begin to know ourselves, how do we know ourselves? Love God.
15:44 Love God means be a doer of His Word. When we begin to do His Word, we begin to realize where we have problems sitting in our heart. Yes, I am saved.
15:52 I am born again. The Spirit of God is in me. Jesus Christ is in me in the Spirit.
15:57 I am a spirit. My spirit is born again. Now my heart and mind are to keep molding Christ inside.
16:04 There Christ is the word of God. My heart and mind has to be renewed. My mind must be renewed in the spirit of my mind.
16:10 God says, be renewed in the spirit of mind and your heart must change in Jesus name I pray today. Brothers and sisters, today is a Saturday. Use this repeatedly.
16:18 Listening Know thyself. Once you begin to know yourself from inside, things will happen in Jesus name because you will change in Jesus name. Amen.

00:00 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth, Brothers and sisters, today the power of Christ Daily 16 October 2015 Fear God or fear or love God? Fear God or love God? Now this used to be a good big confusion for me. Even when I first came to the Lord, this used a confusion. But I decided, look, fear God and love him at the same time. So I decided that because whatever God says is true.
00:27 But when people ask me this or when I ask people that, why God saying fear God and also love God? What’s going on? People can’t understand, they can’t answer. So they got a confusion here. That is why we have to look at the whole counsel of God.
00:46 The whole counsel of God is in the Bible. We cannot take piecemeal one scripture and then decide that this is what it says. We cannot do that.
00:54 Because we do that, we will fall into big error and make ourselves a mess. That is why today, God is leading me today to talk about this. And this is a very important topic.
01:06 Because you as servants, as pastors, as ministers, as children of God, as saints, whoever you talk to, you must be able to answer these things and secondly, apply it yourselves. Fear God or love God. First of all, let’s look at the fear God part.
01:24 Proverbs 1:7. I’m reading from King James Version. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge.
01:32 But fools despise wisdom and instruction. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge. That means if we don’t have fear of God, the Lord Jesus Christ or God Almighty God, Almighty Father God and Jesus Christ are one.
01:47 That priesthood has been settled long ago. If you don’t have fear of the Lord, then there’s no knowledge. That means if you have leaders of a country, any country for the matter in the world, there are hundreds of countries, hundred of our countries.
02:02 So if you don’t have fear of God, these people don’t have. The leader doesn’t have fear of God, then obviously he won’t have knowledge and then he will do all kinds of wrong things, thereby praying for people to have wisdom. Especially there are people praying for people for the leaders to have wisdom.
02:24 It is not useful. But to pray for the leaders of a country to have fear of God, to fear of God. Because you pray Lord Jesus Christ in the name of Jesus, even his name as Christ, please give them wisdom.
02:39 God will say it’s against my word. They must first fear God. So sometimes people say, I pray that the leaders of this country or that country have wisdom to run the country properly.
02:51 Brothers and sisters, God’s word is clear. Fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge and wisdom. Actually, some translation will tell you wisdom.
02:53 Fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge and wisdom. How to have this? So when we pray for leaders of country, leaders, Lord Jesus Christ, in the name of Jesus Christ, I pray that the leaders of this country, or whichever country you are in, to have fear of God. Fear of God.
03:15 Okay, now this fear of God. Now. Luke 12:4 5.
03:17 Luke 12:4 5. I’m reading from the Catholic edition. I tell you, my friends, do not fear those who kill.
03:27 This is Jesus Christ talking. This is Jesus the Christ, the Son of the living God. The husband of my soul is telling me.
03:35 I tell you, my friends, do not fear those who kill the body and after that can do nothing more. But I warn you to whom you should fear. I will warn you whom to fear.
03:48 Fear him who after he has killed, has authority to cast you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him. In fact, some persons go on to say, destroy both body and soul in hell.
04:02 Destroy both body and soul. I fear him who can destroy after killing, you can destroy your body and soul and you can destroy everything. Fear Him.
04:12 This is what the various translations tell you. Do not fear those who can kill your body, because who can kill your body? The human beings and also demons can kill your body. If you are not having protection of Jesus Christ, you do not have protection of Jesus Christ.
04:29 The demons, the devil can kill your body. But do not fear these fellows. Do not fear the human being.
04:34 Do not fear the devil. Because if you come to Christ, of course he gives you power over the devil. Do not fear these people, these human beings and the devil, because whom you should actually fear is fear Almighty God, who can also kill your body if he wants.
04:51 But he’s not going to do that. This age of dispensation is giving allowance for all of us to turn to him and come through His Son who has died on the cross and given us his blood to wash away our sin. And he took our sins to believe in His Son so that.
05:07 So the age of dispensation is giving us a chance to turn to God through Jesus Christ. By letting Jesus Christ, believing in him, who took our sins, and then God and we are reconciled. So fear God who can kill your body, can kill your soul, can kill everything, destroy you in hell.
05:24 Fear Him. Now. So this comes to the issue, how come now? Fear God or love God? Love God with all your heart.
05:35 Love God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength. And love your neighbor as yourself and you will live now. So which is which? Brothers and sisters, this is no more a dilemma.
05:46 Listen. If you listen attentively, go back, praise Jesus Christ, take the scriptures, take the emails and read the scriptures and make it understand yourself. Because in this 15 minutes, what I can do, I can tell you here and there, you meditate on the scriptures and you become that.
06:03 God will bless you, Jesus Christ will bless you. Brothers and sisters, just you read the scriptures, meditate on your actions, your conduct to see whether you’re fitting there or not. And command your heart and mind in the name of Jesus Christ, to do what the Scripture tells you.
06:16 Become a doer of the word. You are blessed. You will be blessed.
06:20 This is a guarantee. This is guaranteed. Not from me.
06:22 Guaranteed by Jesus Christ of Nazareth, the son of the living God, who cannot lie because he is the truth. Brothers and sisters, now we look at. There are two sections here.
06:33 First of all, before we came to the Lord Jesus Christ, before we came to God, we were doing, I take, I was doing my own thing, doing whatever. All sin did not even have a concept of sin. Many times there are sins I’ll consider as right, you know, can you imagine? There are times I have my own logic, because there’s a logic, you know, there’s a philosophy.
06:53 Here we create ourselves. I’ll read some philosophies and create something for myself. One philosophy was to overcome temptation is to first commit it.
07:02 That means if I’m tempted, the only way to overcome temptation is do it. That means I’m tempted to drink. Booze means go and drink it and the temptation is over.
07:12 Can you imagine that stupidity I was in, but made sense to me at the time, you know, it made perfect sense. Yeah, I cannot take it. I must drink.
07:20 Oh, I must go and do lustful things, lecherous things, Sexual immorality. To overcome sexual immorality, sexual temptation. How to overcome is go and commit it.
07:31 Can you imagine the damnation I was creating for myself? Yeah, I finally got into a real mess because sin was begin to harm me. And merciful God turned me to Jesus Christ. So this kind of stupidity will happen in the world.
07:47 People will come with all kind of philosophies and all that. Oh, don’t fear God. There are people in Christendom.
07:53 No, don’t fear God. God is love. God is love.
07:56 Don’t fear God. But why did Jesus say fear him? Jesus Christ saying, you know the word of God. So these people and some people will push away, they say, no, no, no, God is love.
08:08 Even your sin and all Is okay, that’s not true. 1 John 3, 8, 9 Reading from the Catholic version, everyone who commits sin is a child of the devil. 1 John 3:8, 9 Everyone commits sin as a child of the devil.
08:23 9 He says, those who have been born of God do not sin. This means practicing sin. That’s why I’ll read From Amplified Now.
08:29 First John 3, 8, 9. He who commits sin, who practices evil doing, is of the devil takes character practicing sin or takes character from the evil one. For the devil has sinned and violated the divine law from the beginning.
08:43 The reason the Son of God has made manifest visible was to undo, destroy, loosen and dissolve the works of the devil. You see, Jesus came to undo, destroy, loosen and dissolve the works of the devil, which the devil already done. 9.
08:58 No one born or begotten of God deliberately, knowingly and habitually practices sin. So there are two elements here. Before we come to the God Almighty, we are in sin, we are committing sin.
09:10 We must fear God. And fearing God is the beginning of all wisdom and knowledge. Means when we begin to fear God, we begin to wanting fear God, what God will do and all that.
09:20 Then we begin to now know the knowledge of the truth. We go to God, we want to be reconciled with him. We want the sin to stop.
09:27 We don’t want the sin anymore. But then we know by then we are realizing because fear of God is the beginning of knowledge and the wisdom means we begin to realize that, hey, sin is harming me. I’m in a mess.
09:39 So then what we do? We go to God and we get washed by Jesus Christ. Then what happens? Then now we are in God, we are with God. And of course we won’t practice sin because we accepted Jesus Christ as our Lord and master.
09:53 If those who are sincerely in the heart have accepted Jesus Christ, the Lord and master and Saviour, and believing that Jesus Christ died on the cross and rose again and took our sins. Those who sincerely believe this in the heart will not continue practicing sin. The Holy Spirit would have come.
10:10 And whenever you’re going to sin, or even you sin, there’ll be conviction. There will be a distress in your soul and you will say, sorry Lord, sorry Lord, sorry Lord, sorry Lord. You begin to ask for forgiveness straight away now.
10:22 But if those who are continuing sinning and still say they’re Christians, they are actually liars. God calls them liars. But actually what has happened, they don’t believe in their heart that Jesus Christ their Lord and master, that Jesus Christ took their sins, that Jesus Christ empowered them to overcome sin.
10:38 That Jesus Christ has given them power to cast out evil spirit. Now, in the name of Jesus Christ, you have cast out every evil spirit of temptation. You can cast it out in the name of Jesus Christ.
10:49 Many segments I’ve been teaching this for so long. That’s how I also stopped sinning. I cast out in the name of Jesus Christ.
10:56 I stopped sinning first because mercy came and stopped sin. All washed away. And then I’m not tempted, but finally temptation coming.
11:04 I cast out in Jesus Christ’s name. In the name of Jesus Christ. We have to cast out all those who believe in Christ are given power to cast out evil spirit.
11:12 And they will cast out evil spirit. That’s what Jesus says now. So if we.
11:16 There’s another scripture in Hebrews 10:26, in Hebrews 10:26, this is talking to Christians Apostle Paul writing for if we go on willfully and deliberately sinning, so if somebody calls himself Christian now, as a Christian, what we are, we love God. Oh, as a Christian, we can love God. We love God without fear.
11:39 Why, he has washed us of all our sins. We don’t fear God. We love Jesus Christ.
11:45 He loves us. God is love, and we receive his love. And we change.
11:49 We change. Now there are some who have not believed in their heart that Jesus Christ, the Lord and Master, who do not believe that Jesus Christ and do not use the power of Jesus Christ, of course, in the name of Jesus Christ, casting out evil and temptation, commanding their heart in the name of Jesus Christ, they can command our heart and mind to obey the word of God. All that they’re not doing, and then they continue, oh, nothing is okay.
12:12 We can sin on and on. And many times I’ve heard preachings, just pushing this Hebrews 10:26 and 27 aside and saying it’s nothing, it’s not for you. So telling people literally you can continue sinning willfully and deliberately and nothing going to happen to you.
12:27 No, when God’s word says something going to happen to you, you better open your eyes and your heart, eyes of your heart and eyes of your understanding and begin to take it in. And those who are born of God will take it in. Those who are not born of God, as the Bible itself says in John 3, 8, 9, that you continue committing sin means you’re born of the devil.
12:48 Then you will not understand. I pray everyone who is listening to this stop for a moment and now examine yourself. Are you continuing the sin? If you continue the sin, you have not made your heart understand and believe in Jesus Christ completely.
13:04 Now we Love Jesus Christ. We don’t want to sin because we don’t grieve him. Now let’s say we are already.
13:11 Take me, even Hebrews 10:20. If I now start going willfully and deliberately sinning after receiving the knowledge of the truth. Truth is what Jesus Christ.
13:20 After receiving the knowledge of Jesus Christ, I go on doing this. What happens, you can only expect. No longer there’s a sacrifice for sin.
13:28 God says in 26, there no longer remains a sacrifice of sin to atone for our sins. The no more sacrifice. Burning candles and putting flowers and putting incense.
13:38 He said, no, no, all this is not going to work. The sacrifice, only sacrifice for sin was on the cross. Jesus Christ died as an atonement for all our sins.
13:49 Now we burn candles, we put incense and all that. Remember this. It’s action you want to do.
13:55 You do. But the point again is you do not go. And of course God says, do not go and pray to idols and all that.
14:03 The other thing, do not pray to idols and all. So if anybody trying to pray to idols, please, brothers and sisters, careful. So now the thing is, we now accept Jesus Christ.
14:16 God said, worship me in truth. I am spirit. God is spirit.
14:20 Worship me in truth. Truth and spirit. God’s commander.
14:25 God says, I am spirit. God is spirit. Worship God in spirit and in truth.
14:30 Jesus Christ himself says that. And it says that in different ways in different places in the Bible. So now we must worship Jesus Christ in truth, in worship.
14:39 That means, you see, therefore, if we don’t have candles, if we don’t have incense, if we don’t have flowers, okay, no problem. You are worshipped first in spirit and in truth. There are people who can’t afford next meal.
14:50 This current meal they can’t afford. So how are they going to buy all this? They worship in spirit and in truth. Worship in spirit and in truth.
14:58 So now. So what do you do here? Now he says, if I go willfully and deliberately sin, there’s no more atonement for sin. That means the blood sacrifice on the cross cannot be applied for me.
15:10 But what I can expect, he says, but kind of awful and terrifying expectation of divine judgment, the fury of fire and burning wrath which will consume the adversaries. Brothers and sisters, if you say you’re a Christian. If I say I’m Christian, I continue deliberately, willfully sinning.
15:31 I better fear God because there is already written in Hebrews that I can only expect an awful and terrifying expectation of divine judgment. The fury of a fire and burning rot which will consume the adversaries now this is a difference between Love God, fear God Love God, fear God we need our wisdom and we continue sinning we better fear God Fear God and fear God don’t fear the man, don’t fear the devil because they can only kill your body God says the other God can do everything, destroy everything so now but once we come to Jesus Christ we love God, we love God Love Jesus Christ. In the name of Jesus Christ I pray all of you have understood this and we pray and worship Jesus Christ in spirit and in truth wherever we are.
16:16 Those who are listening to this. Sometimes you’re so broke, so broken and no money, no nothing even to take a bus to church maybe. Oh, but somebody has given you this script and you’re hearing Worship Jesus Christ with spirit and in truth wherever you are he accepts and receives your heartfelt prayer in the name of Jesus Christ I pray Amen.

00:00 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Brothers and sisters, today the power of Christ Daily 15th of October 2015 titled Man Pleaser or God Pleaser. Man Pleaser or God Pleaser? Brothers and sisters, this is a very critical issue because we live day to day, we live among people, we work with people, we do things. And we are not supposed to go and hide away somewhere and all.
00:28 You know, sometimes people say the end of the world is coming. And some groups, you know, take them to the mountains and stay there and then finally find out this has happened over the years. Then they stay there and then they find the end of the year didn’t come and then the end of the world didn’t come and then they break up.
00:43 And then all kinds of problems goes on in such groups whereby they begin to say it must go and live away. Now Jesus says this, we are in the world, but we are not of this world. Those followers of Jesus Christ must understand that we are still in the world, but we are not followers of this world.
01:02 We are not of this world means we are not part of this world. We must be within people. Otherwise, how to minister, how to bring the goodness of Jesus Christ to everybody cannot be.
01:15 You have to mix with people. Brothers and sisters, do not run away and hide away anywhere and be a small group or whatever, because Jesus wants us to go and meet people and tell them about Jesus. But of course, wisely, there are certain rules there.
01:30 For instance, do not throw pearls to swines in case they trample on the pearl, turn around and tear you to pieces. So you have to hear the word of God. You have to hear the voice of God.
01:44 The spirit of God must move you. You must be led by the spirit of God. Brothers and sisters, today the issue is men pleaser or God pleaser.
01:51 And this is critical why we get under pressure. Children get under peer pressure. They’ll say in schools, in colleges, if the boy, after a certain age, they don’t smoke, then finish, the other fellows will shun the boy and all that.
02:06 The boy will start smoking because peer pressure with these girls, they don’t hide. And you know, they suddenly, you know, teenage girls, suddenly they bring their school uniform. They hide the outside clothes in the back or even put the school uniform over their outside clothes.
02:27 And then they skip classes, take away the school uniform and run away and go to city mass and go and loiter around with boys and all that. And if they some girl, your child doesn’t want to do that, there’ll be peer pressure, serious peer pressure. And finally the child end up Doing it.
02:43 And the child, the girl, this girl child been tormented, torn between right and wrong, right and wrong. She. That is why we have to watch our children when they come back from school, have some chat, have a word with them, have discussion and see their countenance.
03:02 Is the countenance all right? If the countenance suddenly a bubbly boy, a bubbly girl, suddenly goes quiet for a few days, then you begin to understand something is going wrong. So, brothers and sisters, there is this effort. There is effort.
03:17 And you yourself may be tired and finished and fatigued and exhausted and enough pressure in the office and all that. And you tell yourself how to do this. How do I come back and do this thing now I have to watch over my children.
03:32 You may be a working mom and then come back and take care of the home. How do you do this? By the grace and mercy of Christ, we can do this. We can do this.
03:43 We have to do this. Brothers and sisters, if we do not do this, we will suffer later because here we endure. We endure and look after our children.
03:54 Otherwise we will suffer because the devil will steal the children. The whole world is now under the sway of Satan. That means Satan influences the world.
04:04 And our children go to school. They are part of the world. So.
04:08 But we do, when we come back, we watch and we guide, we teach, we pray with them. We pray casting out everything, even in your office, you quickly can take time. If you don’t have a room, you quickly go out, maybe in the park, in the lunch hour, and cast out everything in the name of Jesus Christ out of our children.
04:27 Brothers and sisters, this is very critical. That is why our Christian children also suffering because of pressures, fear, pressure so much these days. And then finally from smoke, from cigarettes, they end up with drugs and all that goes on.
04:42 I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Mercy for us, Lord. Mercy that each of our persons who are listening to this will take up the cross, deny themselves and pick up the cross.
04:55 The cross is. We deny ourselves, deny our flesh, crucify our flesh in the name of Jesus Christ and begin to do what is necessary. Your grace and mercy, Lord, I release your grace and mercy and strength into each of us to be able to live this life day to day, pleasing to you, pleasing to you, which keeps us safe.
05:15 In the name of Jesus Christ. I pray now, brothers and sisters, this question of man pleasing or God pleasing is an important question. Colossians 3, 22, 25.
05:25 I’m reading from the Amplified Bible now. The Amplified Bible. There are two Amplified Bibles in the Bible Gateway.
05:33 One is Amplified Bible, the other one is classic edition. Today I am reading from the classic edition. 22 Colossians 3.
05:40 22. Servants, obey in everything, those who are your earthly masters, not only when their eyes are on you as pleasers of men, but in simplicity of purpose, with all your heart, because of your reverence for the Lord and as a sincere expression of your devotion to Him. Now, when the Bible says obey in everything, means of course it’s understood, obey in everything that is right.
06:08 When your earthly masters ask you to do wrong, you cannot obey because your obedience first is to Christ, to God Almighty, to His Word. But here now, servants obey in everything, those who are your earthly masters, not only when their eyes are on you as pleasers of men. Men pleasers.
06:26 That means when they’re looking at us, we do. When they’re looking at us, we do. When they don’t look at us.
06:32 I worked in the world before, you know, before I’m a pastor, I worked in corporate appointments, senior corporate appointments, and ran my own business later. And we find these people when you’re looking. Oh, people, fantastic.
06:49 Put on a big show when the boss is not looking. These people will just do one thing and do all kind of rubbish. But you will not do that.
06:56 God is saying you, when the boss is looking, are not looking. You will do, complete with the simplicity of purpose, with all your heart because of your reverence for the Lord. You revere our Lord.
07:08 We reverence our Lord, awe and reverence for our God. He suffered for me, died on the cross and rose for me. Took my sins away and gave me power over Satan, gave me power over even my heart and mind.
07:20 He gave me power because I. In his name, in his name, name, I can command my heart and mind. Therefore I will work full, whether my boss is looking or not. I will work full out of reverence for my God, for my Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
07:36 Now, reverence. Many Bibles will use it. That’s why I use the classic today, because they use the word because of your fear for the Lord.
07:44 And this has created a lot of misunderstanding. The fear for the Lord is actually reverence of the Lord. Reverence for the Lord.
07:52 Fear. God says what? There’s no love in fear. But perfect love has no fear.
08:00 We love him. We are not afraid of it. When he chastises us, we are not afraid.
08:06 It’s punishment. We welcome his chastisement because his chastisement is not burdensome and all that. We just do his commands and he gives us power.
08:16 Yes. What we sow we will reap and all that. But then he will not allow his children to be condemned.
08:24 We are his children. We are the apple of his eye in the palm of his hand. So whenever he chastises so we are not afraid of our God.
08:32 We are not fear of God in the sense that the world fears punishment and this and that. We fear our God because that is reverence for reverence. I don’t want to grieve my Jesus Christ anymore.
08:42 I don’t want to grieve the Holy Spirit anymore. Brothers and sisters, this is the important thing you have to remember now in 23 whatever may be your task, work at it heartily from the soul as something done for the Lord, not for men. 24 knowing with all certainty, or all certainty, knowing with all certainty that it is from the Lord and not from men, that you will receive the inheritance.
09:14 25 for he who deals wrongfully will reap the fruit of his folly and be punished for his wrongdoing. There is no partiality with God, no matter what a person’s position may be, whether he is a slave or master. God Almighty, Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God also is one in God.
09:33 God, Father, and He are one. They don’t show partialty. They don’t take sides.
09:38 They are just fair brothers and sisters, this scripture is important. Now you may understand. There is a reward also.
09:45 There are many rewards. I attached so many other scriptures today. Galatians 1:10 for do I now persuade men or God? Apostle Paul asking, do I now Galatians 1:10 for do I now persuade men or God, or do I seek to please men? For if I yet please men, I should not be the servant of Christ.
10:05 As servants of Christ we are not here to please men. We are not men pleasers. We want to help, take care, support, serve everybody, care for them, love them.
10:17 But when it comes to make a decision, when something you have to do what the man wants, you can only do what God wants. If it’s different, what the man wants is opposite to what God wants. You cannot do what man wants.
10:31 That’s a man pleasers. Do not be a man pleaser. God says, be a God pleaser.
10:36 And when you are a God pleaser, Proverbs 16:7 says, When a man’s ways pleases the Lord, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him. One benefit, can you imagine? One powerful benefit. Even though the man may say, do this, do this, do this, and you don’t want to do this.
10:53 And because you know your God is not going to be happy with this. You’re not going to please Jesus Christ. You say, sorry, sir, I cannot do this because I’ve taken an oath.
11:01 I’ve taken an oath with Jesus Christ, the son of the living God. I’ve taken an oath with my father God that I will not do this. And if I do this, I will be cursed.
11:12 That’s how I get out of this. 20 years now I get out of this. How do I get out of this? When people ask me to do something, I will tell them the truth.
11:23 The truth is I have made a covenant with Jesus Christ of Nazareth. The truth is this is the oath, a covenant I’ve taken. Now, because of the covenant, if I do things that are wrong, I told God I do not want to do anything that’s wrong anymore.
11:37 That’s covenanted. We follow Jesus Christ. We do what Jesus Christ tells us.
11:42 Now sir, if I do this, then not only will be cursed, Almighty God will take the curses will move to everybody. That is why first of all, I shouldn’t do this because I don’t want to be cursed. And two, I don’t want the curse to move on, to pass to other people.
11:59 Those who told me to do also will be cursed. No need, sir. I cannot do this.
12:03 If I do this, not only I will be cursed, others will be cursed. So I don’t want this and I don’t be cursed. So I took this covenant.
12:09 I took this oath with Jesus Christ. Now it has worked them, brothers and sisters, they’re telling the truth. This is the truth.
12:16 I took a covenant now and the curse is true. What you sow will reap. I’ll be cursed.
12:22 And the curse moves on. And God said, offenses will come. But woe to the one who brings the offenses.
12:28 The person who brings you the temptation. Woe to the one he says. So the curse will move there also.
12:33 So you begin to tell this to get out of this problem. Now, there are many instances. For instance, let’s say you’re working somewhere and the boss wants you to fix the books.
12:42 That means put false entries in the books because you’re an accounts person or whatever you cannot do. Then you will be cursed and they will be cursed. So you will say sorry.
12:53 Humble. Humble. Humble, brothers and sisters.
12:55 Humble, Humble, you say? Sorry sir, I took a covenant. I cannot do all this. If I do all this, I will be cursed.
13:02 And then the curse also will move on to others. Please, sir. Now what God says, when you do what is pleasing to the Lord, he will make his enemies to be at peace.
13:12 With you. I have seen it repeatedly when people in the congregation, I tell them, when they come for counseling and they say this is the problem. And I tell them go and do like this, depending on Jesus Christ.
13:21 Your faith in Jesus Christ, not in the faith in me. I’m just counseling, thank Jesus Christ of Nazareth. And then they go and follow.
13:29 They find the bosses change, they let them go. Now there are other instances. For instance, a wife, husband is a drunkard.
13:39 This happens. These are cases when I’m doing these cases, they all actually over the period of time I’ve come across this. And there are people who are listening this, they will witness to this because they are, some of them are actually were affected with this.
13:50 The husband wants to drink, drink, drink. And then these wives only working, you know, the husbands are because jobless and all because they have been addicted with drunkenness. Now I’m not condemning anybody.
14:01 I was a drunkard myself. So now when they go and ask the wife money, the money, wife gives money because she’s afraid the husband may shout and angry or violence or whatever, or just fear, just fear, you know what they will think. And then she gives the money.
14:20 Finally there are several women over the years, I have to tell them, sorry, sister, if you trust Jesus Christ, you will not give. Because why, when you come to Jesus Christ, you surrendered all. You surrendered all and everything owned by Jesus Christ.
14:36 And actually, whether we surrender or not, we know everything is owned by Jesus Christ. Everything was made by him, through him and for him. And then of course, it’s a struggle for these sisters.
14:46 Struggle, of course I understand. Then they say, blood of Jesus, blood of Jesus, blood of Jesus. And say, I cannot give you because you’re only harming yourself.
14:50 I cannot give you this money. But they don’t go to, I now follow Jesus Christ. Everything belongs to Jesus Christ.
15:01 So I will not give you money. Now some sisters without understanding the scriptures and I did this and got even more trouble. Don’t be humble.
15:10 Then of course, thank Jesus Christ they changed. Be humble and say, sorry, I cannot give you. You’re only harming yourself.
15:17 I don’t know, I cannot let you harm yourself. And I also be accountable to God for letting you harm yourself. So I cannot.
15:24 Then of course some hoo ha will take place. But you hold on to the faith in Jesus Christ and then the thing will pass. And finally you find that you have become more and more bold in pleasing God.
15:36 Not man pleaser, God pleaser. Now take other issues. A son, a mother, maybe a single mom, throwing tantrums, throwing tantrums and she gives in.
15:48 Gives in, Gives in. Why? She fears this boy because he’s a teenager, big fellow. After a while when she counsel no, you have to stand in faith in Christ.
15:57 Then when she begins to do that, then she begins to find. She gets boldness. And that boy also changes.
16:04 The sun changes then. Otherwise it will not change. It will get worse and worse.
16:08 Brothers and sisters, let’s be God pleasers today, not men pleasers. In the name of Jesus Christ, I command every spirit that making us please men get out of us in Jesus name. Get up.
16:20 Get up. Now sisters, the same thing. Sisters working for some company and then they’re telling you oh, dress like this, come to this function, come to the evening, entertain my clients.
16:30 Sisters cannot. Because you will end up pleasing man but not pleasing God. You actually end up into sin.
16:36 Sisters, please. In the name of Jesus Christ, I command every pleasing of man spirit. Get out.
16:38 In the name of Jesus Christ. And I release every spirit of us, every portion, every cell of our being to please God Almighty. In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray.
22 Servants, obey in everything those who are your earthly masters, not only when their eyes are on you as pleasers of men, but in simplicity of purpose [with all your heart] because of your reverence for the Lord and as a sincere expression of your devotion to Him.
23 Whatever may be your task, work at it heartily (from the soul), as [something done] for the Lord and not for men,
24 Knowing [with all certainty] that it is from the Lord [and not from men] that you will receive the inheritance which is your [real] reward. [The One Whom] you are actually serving [is] the Lord Christ (the Messiah).
25 For he who deals wrongfully will [reap the fruit of his folly and] be punished for his wrongdoing. And [with God] there is no partiality [no matter what a person’s position may be, whether he is the slave or the master].
Proverbs 16:7 – When a man’s ways please the LORD, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.

26 He said to him, “What is written in the law? What do you read there?” 27 He answered, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.” 28 And he said to him, “You have given the right answer; do this, and you will live.”
