00:01 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Brothers and sisters, today the power of Christ Daily 19 October to know God’s will for you. To know God’s will for you. Brothers and sisters, this is an important topic for many people.
00:16 Many want to know God’s will for them. Yes, truly they want to know. So in the, in the years of my ministry I find people come say, pastor, I don’t know what God’s will for me.
00:25 I don’t know what God’s will for me for marriage. I don’t know what God will for me for my job, for my education, for my career, whatever. And then they begin to get confused and they begin to fast even they’ll fast and pray and then they don’t hear
anything, they can’t hear God.
00:34 And then they get frustrated, they get upset. And then there are others. Every, any person comes, so called prophets, they run to them and say what God feel for me? They ask a prophet and somebody will prophesy and somebody else will prophesy.
01:00 So they’re going from person to person to person. That’s why God talks about that. Running here and there with itching ears.
01:07 Just want to hear something but not willing to obey. First of all, we have to now come to an understanding. There must be scripture which tells you how to get God’s will for you.
01:20 There is a scripture, there must be a number of scriptures actually. But we’ll take one important thing. So it starts with Romans 12 the other day we dealt with it.
01:29 Love God, know thyself. To know thyself we have to examine ourselves without examining ourselves. We will never know where we are, what we are.
01:39 But we have to examine ourselves against the word of God, against what God says, not examine ourselves against the standard of this world. This world, as we said yesterday, the devil’s blessing. The title yesterday was 18th of October.
01:55 Where clearly the Bible shows the ruler of the world is Satan and the whole world is under the sway of Satan. The world, not the earth. The earth belongs to Jesus Christ, full stop.
02:06 Heaven and earth belongs to Jesus Christ. The world is a world system, system of governance, system of doing things. The world system is swayed by Satan, controlled by Satan.
02:17 People do not know, therefore they messed up. I messed up. I did not know the spiritual one, but I didn’t know.
02:26 And yesterday I was talking about how while I was progressing, I didn’t know it’s the devil blessing me. I was against God and I’m being blessed. And that blessing is material blessing.
02:34 And finally the devil will come to collect. He’ll Add sorrow to it. He will come when it comes from the world.
02:40 Blessings come from the world, whether through human beings or not. The devil will finally come to collect only when the blessing comes from God to you. There’s no sorrow to it, and the devil cannot steal, because you will cast out the evil one in
Jesus Christ’s name.
02:56 In the name of Jesus Christ you must be able to cast out Brothers and sisters today to know God’s will for you. Starts with Romans 12. I’m going to read 1 and 2 from the Amplified version because extended version.
03:08 We need to know more depth here. Romans 12:1 2. Romans 12:1.
03:14 I appeal to you therefore brethren, and beg of you. Beg, you know, Apostle Paul talking, you know, beg of you, in view of all the mercies of God, to make a decisive dedication of your bodies, presenting all your members and faculties as a living
sacrifice, holy, devoted, consecrated and well pleasing to God, which is your reasonable, rational, intelligent service and spiritual worship. 2.
03:46 Do not be conformed to this world, this age fashioned after and adapted to its external and superficial customs, but be transformed, changed by the entire renewal of your mind, by its new ideas and new attitudes, so that you may prove for yourselves
what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God. Even the thing which is good and acceptable and perfect in his sight for you. Brothers and sisters, clearly first of all there are number of issues here.
04:21 First of all we need to surrender ourselves. We have to get God’s will to know God’s will to hear God, we first must surrender my will to him. Self will goes to destruction.
04:35 Self seeking always goes to destruction. Our hearts will now remember ourselves three parts. We are made of three parts.
04:42 When I say you, you, you here, I’m talking to your hearts. Your spirit man is born again. Jesus is there.
04:48 Christ is formed inside there. Now you have to form Christ in your heart and mind and of course our body. Three parts.
04:54 When I say you, I’m talking to the heart and mind and your flesh even, but not when I say your heart. I have to now become careful here. Because when I say you sometimes dealing with the heart, sometimes I am dealing with the spirit man.
05:07 So I must be careful. I ask mercy from God Almighty Father, in the name of Jesus Christ. Make me articulate clearly, Lord, so that your will is done in the lives of all that I will be a good servant and tell the truth clearly so everyone
understands.
05:25 Father, make me, Lord, in Jesus name I pray. Amen. Now our hearts do not they have their own will.
05:33 Our heart is treacherously wicked. And then even myself over the years many parts of the heart has changed. But some part of the heart has not changed yet.
05:43 It’s still being changed because whenever it comes up, I have to deal with it. So our mind has to be renewed. We’ll come to that.
05:51 Now what starts with me surrendering to him? My self will. I don’t want my will. I don’t want to be self willed.
06:02 Now only when you’re prepared to do this that means your spirit man. Now I’m talking to your spirit man. Only when your spirit man takes up this thing and commands the heart and mind that you will obey God in the name of Jesus Christ.
06:14 I command the heart and mind to obey Christ and not to be gone in your own self will. Only then there’s a first step for you to receive God’s will. First surrender our will Lord in the name of Jesus Christ.
06:29 I ask that God’s will Lord. I want your will Lord, not my will anymore. In Jesus name I pray.
06:36 Now it’s a very simple prayer but when you pray with the heartfelt that this is what you actually want, God hears you and does it for you. This is the thing about Jesus Christ. It’s not a religion.
06:47 He is listening to you. Christ is in you and we are in Christ. And he is seated at the right hand side of Father God.
06:55 So now first we surrender our will. Those of you who want to know God’s will or want to do God’s will first have to surrender your will. Now second thing, the way the Bible says and amplified to make a decisive dedication of your bodies.
07:10 I want to present my body Lord, as pleasing to you. And all my members and faculties means all my thoughts, all my thinking, all my feelings, all, all, all, everything I want to dedicate to you. And as a living, holy, devoted, sacri.
07:26 Consecrated. Consecrated means separated. As a living sacrifice, holy, devoted, consecrated, separated and well pleasing to you Father God well pleasing to you Jesus Christ.
07:36 I want this Lord. In the name of Jesus Christ I command my heart and mind to to be well pleasing to God. In the name of Jesus Christ I command my heart and mind to be devoted, consecrated, holy to Jesus Christ.
07:52 I present my body, my body first, my whole body now which is a reasonable sacrifice, reasonable service and spiritual worship. This is the first step now first step surrendering. Second step is to this part of the serend ring.
08:08 But let’s look at this if you first of all so if you have sexual immorality thoughts and you’re not overcoming that all the time, you’re allowing the TV to Catch you the sexual immorality that catch you. Then you have to cut off your tv, whatever.
If your hand causes you to sin, cut your hand.
08:28 He says your eye plucks you to causes you to sin. Pluck your eye. That in the spirit.
08:35 That means you have to deal with this. That means you have to make sure your eyesight is not going to write things. So if you cannot, all the time you’re thinking of the sexual immorality and all this, you cannot know the will of God.
08:47 You cannot hear him. And because you’re not dedicated to your body as a living sacrifice, how do you do this? Now we can’t do it ourselves. So we take several words of God.
08:58 For instance, we take this word, I am dedicated. So I keep on meditating on this. I am dedicated to him.
09:04 My heart and mind is dedicated to him. So when I keep on meditating on the Word, the Bible says the word of God says if I keep looking at the Word in the eye of my mind, the eyes of my mind and eyes of my understanding, I keep meditating on this
word like in a mirror. Finally, I will change.
09:20 Can you imagine? I will change. To what? To the image that God made. He made us in his image.
09:26 Which image? His spirit. God is spirit. He made our spirit man is in his image.
09:31 Now that he has come, our spirit, man is image. So in that we keep on doing this, our spirit man will control the heart and mind and change. Now.
09:40 2. Do not be conformed to this world. The age of this world, the way it is now fashioned after and adapted to external and superficial customs.
09:50 Fashioned after and adapted to its external and superficial customs. But be transformed by the renewal of your mind. By renewing the spirit of your mind.
10:01 Change the entire renewal the entire spirit of your mind. You have to change by new ideals. Ideals, Ideal standard.
10:09 Earlier I said ideals. Wrong. Ideals and its attitude.
10:13 New attitude. Christ like attitude. Christ like ideals.
10:17 So we have to look at that. But let’s look at this one. So if you.
10:21 If somebody all the time. Tv. Tv, TV or movies.
10:24 Movies. Movies. And friends.
10:26 Friends. Friends. You cannot.
10:27 You are not surrendered. You are conformed to this world. If you’re conformed to this world, you cannot hear God full stop.
10:37 Then there are others. My job, My job. My job.
10:39 My job. What was my job? What my boss think? What my boss think? And then some people work round the clock instead of telling the boss, I need to go to service. I need to have commitment to my family.
10:52 I have to take care of my children. I have to deal with the because they are afraid. Because they have no self esteem.
10:59 They believe that the boss is paying them more than they deserve. So they believe that anything they do, they may sack them. They may not have the job that is not of God.
11:10 There is a fear there. The spirit of fear must be cast out. And to know that put your faith in Christ, seek ye the kingdom of God, righteousness, peace and joy first.
11:19 And all these things will be added. They have not come to that level of understanding. But the devil uses that the devil seeks.
11:26 You will not come to the understanding. He will always make the boss do you more and more, oh, go here, go there. He is not bothered by your family.
11:33 When all the relationship breaks, divorces take place, what happens to you? You think the boss cares? Brothers and sisters, this is the truth. So don’t be so frightened that your job you lose, you lose and you fall. Forget to deal what God has told.
11:46 He said, do not be conformed to this world. Do not be conformed to this world. And then you better deal what God said.
11:54 Love God, love your neighbor as yourself and you will live. And then for Christians, Christians within ourselves we have to love one another as Jesus Christ loved us. That is he gave us life.
12:05 Somehow we give ourselves to them. So if you say job, job, job and don’t care about other brothers and sisters, you cannot know the will of God. You cannot hear God.
12:15 Now some of you, because of this, you say, what does this pastor understand? My job is very important. If not I have no job, who is going to feed my family? Now, brothers and sisters, that means your faith is in the job. Your faith is in the world.
12:26 Your faith is in the boss. Your faith is not in Christ. Now getting upset with me is not going to solve your problem.
12:34 Please get upset with your heart and mind that is thinking like this because our heart and mind, Jesus Christ already told us they are treacherously wicked. You have to get upset with your heart and mind, not with the word of God and not with the
servant who is telling you the word of God, which you didn’t know earlier. So now.
12:53 So you have to humble yourself to the word of God. Humble to the word of God, grace. Otherwise God considers it proud and he opposes you.
13:04 James 1:22 that why I keep sticking the same. James 4:6 James 4:6 James 1:22 is be a doer of the word. Not only hearers deceiving yourselves.
13:15 God says, now these are pertinent things, but of course they cut our heart when we are not doing. Let’s say when you, when somebody listen to me here. And they say, what does he know? My job, you know, very hard to get job nowadays.
13:25 Recession, you know, whatever. Hey, I’m telling you the truth. You cannot have it both ways, brothers and sisters.
13:30 You cannot have one. One foot in the world and one foot with God. It’s not going to work.
13:36 It is having one foot in one small boat, another foot in another leg in another small boat. Both boats are going and drifting. What happens? You’ll be torn to pieces.
13:47 So do not do this. In fact, the devil arms himself to whack people like this. That’s how you keep on and never ending, you know, you find that.
13:56 And then when I counsel people like this, some follow, some didn’t follow. Those who follow, suddenly they get better jobs. Suddenly the boss also changes his mind and gives him easier work or routine changes.
14:09 First they won’t change because they are afraid. Then I will say now that one, you fast. Why kill your flesh, kill your command.
14:17 Your spirit, man must rise up. Otherwise your heart and heart is taking control. Your spirit, man must rise up.
14:23 So you fast. Kill the flesh, kill the fear. In the name of Jesus Christ.
14:28 And then you want to have the will of God for you. You want to surrender your will. And when you do that, suddenly the whole circumstances changes for them.
14:36 Therefore the others, my child, school, education, school education, school education, school education. And then they begin to run here and run there all the time, agitated. You cannot know the will of God.
14:49 To know the will of God. First you surrender your will and begin to have faith in Christ. And two, you have dedicated especially pornography and partying and sharing all the time.
15:01 Partying, friendship, movies, movies, tv, tv, tv, something or other. How to hear God. Brothers and sisters, this is the truth.
15:10 First step is this. I pray that future steps God will tell us as we go along. I will deal with it.
15:17 But today the first step is surrender your will. That happened to me. I did not want my will.
15:22 I don’t want my mind already. And then I saw I was at peace. So no matter there were circumstances, there were financial circumstances.
15:28 Remember? The devil stole everything. Finally, no. And then I was in so much of debt.
15:33 Millions of debts. Now from millions of value in the company. Now for millions of debts.
15:38 But step by step, Jesus Christ got me out of all. And we had still month by month we were wondering what is going to happen. But yet God kept us going and even got my children educated in proper colleges.
15:53 In fact, my eldest mom went to Stirling to do a master’s in Scotland. You know all that. So Jesus sees us through.
16:00 Initially, it looks like a dark alley. You don’t know where to go, but you hang on to Jesus. You believe in Jesus.
16:07 You say his word is true. That’s the first step. You train like that.
16:10 Another time an attack comes, let’s say they suddenly say, somebody got cancer or you got cancer. Doctor said no. Your word will kick in.
16:18 Your faith will come in. Why? You already surrendered. You’re believing in your Christ, and you begin to do this.
16:22 Brothers and sisters, first to have faith in Christ, first we have to do this. Romans 12:1, 2. Please, brothers and sisters, today, focus on this.
16:32 Think about this. Think against your work, whatever you’re doing, whatever you’re doing. Activity, whether it’s in line with the word of God.
16:39 In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
