CWC SDA featuring Dr. Abraham J. Jules - "Blessed To Be A Blessing"

[Music] stand to your feet everybody for the reading of scripture the book of Philippians chapter 1 I think I see my friends from Mount Vernon brother Ian and his family and Angie glad to see all of you here today Philippians 1 verses 12 through 18 it reads but I would you should understand brethren that the things which happened unto me have fallen out rather unto the furtherance of the gospel so that my bonds in Christ are manifest in all the palace and in all places and many of the Brethren in the Lord vaccine confident by my bonds are much more bold to speak the word without fear some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife and some also of good will the one preached Christ of contention not sincerely supposing to add affliction to my bonds but the other of love knowing that I am set for the defense of the gospel what then notwithstanding every way whether in pretence or in truth Christ is preached and I therein do rejoice ye and will rejoice I know it may not make much sense to you but here Paul is talking about some preachers who were glad that he was in jail so that their church could get bigger because he is absent so that's the context there's a word for you if you want your communion sermon you have to come at six o'clock we'll preach a communion sermon this message today is meant to edify and to bless you amen let's sing our prayers on our song in preparation for the word of God Lord prepare me to be a section [Music] everybody's singing all prepare me you're singing like a beating today everybody [Music] be gracious to us this day father because we've come with empty pitchers waiting to be filmed some of us craving bread that was baked in an eternal oven help us this day God as we study to draw closer to you and to know that you are indeed a God who could make us a blessing wherever we go in Jesus name we pray amen amen be seated everybody before coming here this morning I left my home pretty early and went to Brooklyn to preach at a church prior to coming here so they switched their divine service to Sabbath school to accommodate the fact that I had to preach here so that church I went to is a church that I started 35 years ago called the New Life Church and they are celebrating their 35th anniversary so whenever I want to know how long I've been in ministry I just kind of remember that churches beginning dates and so 35 years ago at that church started and 35 years ago I started ministry I said that to say this when I started ministry there were people who had already been ministers who really blessed me there was a pastor who told me how to do communion service named pastor Jones it was my senior pastor the First Crusade I had pastor Jones went through every sermon with me and I got up and preached like it was my own he taught me how to conduct board meetings and it taught me how to comport myself among people he also taught me what not to do but he was a blessing in my life so he poured into me now 35 years later there are young preachers who would called me from across the country around the world and ask pastor Jules how do you do this and for each one I take the time and respond to them send them emails call them back for one reason and one reason only to whom much is given much is required and no man is an island we are all a part of the main and because others have helped me and let me just be clear parenthetically let this be known not only have they helped me but there are people who are still helping me still helping me to become better at what I do so I look at my life and see my blessing and I realize that I must also be a blessing amen somebody anybody who receives and does not give is prepared to die anytime you take in and don't give out you are prepared to die amen some body so the Apostle Paul in this book of Philippians shows us that no matter where he was and no matter what circumstance he faced he was always in a position to become a blessing to somebody else no matter his circumstance amen some body well when we look at the book of Philippians as you know and you've heard it said before and I've said it from this pulpit before it's Paul's joy chapter to be a Christian and to be a moody Christian is a contradiction of terms have you ever met some moody people they're really holy Christians they moody you never know when they're gonna snap you never know when they're gonna cuss you out you never know when they're gonna act up and you're thinking it's me it's not me it's you have you ever met them yeah I met a lot of them I'm a professional churchmen so I've met everybody you can think about all kinds there's nothing new Under the Sun a man's about it and the church name may change and the faces may change but you've got the same kinds of people at every church that's why I'm not impressed don't want to be impressed joy is the Christians right notice I didn't say happiness joy is my Christian rights I have a right to joy because I'm a Christian but there's some joy Buster's all around us joy Buster number one is people people can bust your joy for no reason whatsoever it's a matter of facts some people love to see you not being filled with joy joy Buster number two is when you've got problems can't pay your bills doctor gave a bad report that will bust your joy Amen somebody or predicaments that will bust your joy joy is the positive confidence that I possess by knowing and trusting God regardless of my circumstances when you know God and when you trust God the result is always joy now notice I did not say when you know God and you trust God you will not have people problems notice I did not say you will not have problems notice I did not say you will not find yourself in predicaments but when you know God and you trust God no matter your circumstance the result will always be joy joy not necessarily happiness and if you don't have Jesus and his joy you need to ask yourself have I allowed something to come between God and I or ask yourself have I stopped trusting God now happiness on the other hand which we call a cheap imitation of joy we call it the weave of joy and you all don't like when I talk about your weaves and I enjoy doing it nothing is wrong with a good weed but one should not want a weave called happiness when you could have the real deal called joy uh-huh now when we think about happiness that word HAP means chance so happiness is based on chance or happenings you're happy when it's happening you're happy when he's nice you're happy when he's kind you're happy when you got money in the bank you're happy when your health is good you're happy when your children graduate and we experience happiness through the five senses through something you touch taste hear see or smell look at our happiness happens when I love endings our senses receive certain kinds of stimuli when those five senses get stimulated they send after the stimulation an electrical pulse to the pleasure zone in the brain which interprets them as pleasurable and that's what produces happen for example if you touch something or somebody touches you and if it's the right touch then it sends electrical shocks to the brain because that's how God wide us up you're wired up like that can I just be frank as can be with you married people shouldn't tell people make Jesus your husband that's hypocritical good you didn't make him your husband you got a husband Amen somebody marry people shouldn't be telling single people this single woman that is okay not to have a husband you're out of order Amen somebody because God wired us up to need the touch of somebody else and not a pat on the back Amen somebody and single people be careful who you listen to somebody's married people are not good to listen to their lies are jacked up don't listen to them their lies are messed up that's why they're in the position they're in because they don't have wisdom why would you listen to them I said some of them I know y'all don't like my servant but it's my summon it's my church my pulpit my iPad I say whatever I want so god wide UPS up to need physical touch sexual touch at the right and appropriate age and time God is who made us that way and all the holiness you possess you still need it all the Bible you read and all the praying you do and all the cold showers you take still need it because God why do you up that way stop living in denial who do you think who do you think it was in Eden's boughs that brought Adam looked at him and says the horse got a horse to go home to the donkey got a donkey to go home to the man's got a mare to go home to the elephant's got another animal to go home to but when I look at Adam he's got nobody to go home to so Adam go to sleep and God performed a divine surgery on Adam extracted a rib one rib and a whole lot of man loves spareribs God didn't take more than one rib only one rib Mac one rib so you should only have one woman by the way I'm I was about to say I respect men that have more than one woman but that's not what I would have meant I wonder about men who more than one woman forgive me for saying it I'm 59 years old one woman I said one woman what I said one woman is more than enough for me to hang up that's hard work you gotta massage the ego you gotta talk softly you're gonna do everything she wants you're gonna do it like you gotta be you know now listen to me you're gonna be a man of steel and velvet all at the same time she wants you to be a man and yes she wants you to be gentle that's hard work and then and then if that's not bad enough after you do everything she said to do the way she wanted you to do it tomorrow you come back and you're doing the same thing and she said no that's not what I want because most of the time she doesn't know what she wants if I'm lying I'm flying guys who got more than one woman it's a lot of work can the Brethren say pastor your rights y'all a bunch of cowards you sitting right next to her you're scared to death I am scared my wife sitting too far from me for her to mess with me I'm protected by this desk but you wouldn't even agree with me but God wide us up that way and it's a basic human need that God put in us don't deny it accept it and accept it as God bread made God created and God expects us to love somebody beyond just normal love it's a question of it's a love that goes beyond just being my friend some of you look like why is past to talk about sex in the pulpit some of you looking at me and saying I never will and it shows you look miserable and some of you look like you you made some other arrangements to get here God made us that way you can't help it now our second sense is the sense of taste some places you may eat after you leave you may need to be in a 12-step program is that good that's why we eat because as soon as you taste it it sends something to the pleasure zone of your brain or let's say if you see something you just got a new car or a new house and something you see sends electrical pulses to the brain and you become happy I like cars and I've been looking for cars but I didn't tell my wife is the first time she heard that she knows one day I'll just drive up with a brand new car she knows it I'm warning her in the sermon it's about to happen Amen somebody one day she'll just come home and see it in the driveway because those things make us happy now let's say something you may hear supposed on yesterday you heard on the job that you got a raise and you got a promotion and what you hear sends electrical pulses to the brain and you're happy oh let's say you smell something and when you smell it it's pleasurable or let's say what about if you touch your breast and it's cancerous or what have you ever taste and you taste some medicine and it doesn't send that shock to your brain or what do you do when you see a poor prognosis or what do you do when you hear the doctors say it's operable Oh what do you do when you're in the hospital for weeks and you're smelt and seen sickness all around you you're not going to be happy but if you know God and if you trust God you can have joy because joy does not come through the five senses joy is like a sixth sense it's in the spirit it's when you trust God when you know God in spite of the circumstances and this is where the Apostle Paul is in the book of Philippians he's in jail and I want you to see what he's experiencing in his five senses you're listen to me what is Paul touching he's touching James because he's in a Roman jail what is Paul tasting he's tasting prison slap what is Paul seeing he's seeing prison bars what is Paul hearing he's hearing agony what is false smelling he smells spills and sewage what does Paul have Paul's got shy that's why ladies and gentlemen the song says this joy I have the world didn't give and the world can't take it away there's some things you must put beyond the reach of people listen to me for too many of us stop going to this church or that church because of people who said things about him you've got to put your joy where nobody can reach it Amen somebody listen in my life I've had people I loved and trusted who betrayed me lied on me hurt me but I put my joy beyond that they may have made me unhappy for a season but this joy I have you must put your joy when nobody can locate it you must put your joy where nobody can touch it you must put your where it's concealed from every human eye Oh Lada you came in here miserable today because you allowed people to mess with your joy you allowed somebody to say something to mess up your day you allow somebody in the job to steal your piece you allowed somebody in your family to take away your laughter and remove your smile from your face but you've got to put your joy where they can't touch it amen so Paul's got these five senses and everything in his five senses tell him something's wrong but he still has joy Amen somebody and so he says in Philippians 2 and verse 8 it doesn't matter I have joy in spite of now you not gonna have joy because of if you steal your car you're not gonna have joy you're not gonna have happiness but you'll still have joy same in somebody if your house burns down you're not gonna be happy but you'll still have joy because joy is beyond the reach of every circumstance your face did you hear what I said too many miserable people listening to good sermons every Sabbath and not putting it into practice if your man left you you should be unhappy but you shouldn't lose your job and your sin and be unhappy forever amen somebody you said mourn and you shouldn't moon mourning has a termination point which means I'm gonna give myself two weeks to Sarah but when the two weeks are over I'm gonna get up dust off put my shoes back on get back in the race sing a new song shake my head cause somebody get on my feet rise up again singer some reason others Foreman this story I have the world so I allow people to rob me of my joy I allow circumstances to snatch away my peace you got a bunch of people listening to me today you're as miserable as they come you don't know the last time you left cuz you allowed your circumstances to circumscribe your joy you allowed people to determine how joyful you're gonna be listen to media something's my wife my children my friends my family can't touch they can't touch it do you know why she just gave it to me and I'm gonna keep it out of your reach there's something stretch members can't touch you can talk about me you can mess with me you don't have to like me but you know this much you can never look at my joy I hid it from you fact the Apostle Paul in this book of Philippians uses the word joy 19 times in four chapters no the tagline for Nike is is it in you and Paul says or the joy of Jesus is in me because anytime you have joy it's because you trust God and you know God in spite of your circumstances and anytime you have lost your joy it's because you're not trusting God and you don't know God in your circumstances and what circumstances that Paul find himself in you want to talk about tough circumstances look at Philippians 1:12 I want you to understand my friends he says that the things that have happened to me have really happened in the proclamation of the gospel Paul says every bad thing that happened to me it happened because I was a preacher does it not tell you my brothers and sisters you could do all the right things and still be persecuted he said the things that happened to me and how many of you know that things happen preacher stuff happens things happen they happen to all of us now something bad happened to the Apostle Paul so if something bad happened to Paul what makes you think that things wouldn't happen to you the word is disappointment Paul's goal the bible says was to go to rome as a preacher paul saw himself preaching in rome the gospel of christ but instead of going to rome as a preacher paul went as a prisoner and instead of the gospel being released because paul is in jail the gospel got restricted and paul is experiencing problems now let's look at three of the problems the first problem paul has is called chains he's in Chains and he's in jail the second problem he has his critics please remember this if you're gonna do anything be anything become a thing you will have critics please stop expecting people to all like you the most important thing you need to learn is that you need to like you a lot amen somebody we got too many self haters trying to love somebody else if you don't love you please don't love me keep your love I only want people love me who love themselves first cuz you can't genuinely love me if you don't like you so he has some critics the Bible says he had some rival preachers who were jealous of Paul's Apostleship and Paul's popularity and they were trying to outdo Paul while he was in jail they are out trying to preach and win converts so that their following will be larger than pause you think this jealous thing is new that was going on thousands of years ago it's in the text I'm not preaching anything that's not in the Bible look at verse 15 he mentions them he talks about his preachers he says of course some of them preach Christ because they are jealous and quarrelsome but others from genuine goodwill and in verse 17 he says the others do not proclaim Christ sincerely but from a spirit of selfish ambition I guess you can get into the ministry for selfish ambition not because of servant spirit but celebrity spirit Paul continues he says they think they will make more trouble for me while I am in prison Paul's got critics and these critics are trying to outdo Paul by preaching the gospel they are also discrediting Paul hoping to eclipse pause influence and popularity he's got shame she's got critics and his third problem he's got a crisis because Paul does not know if he's really gonna live or die every day you live if you thought that Nero was gonna chop your head off tonight every day how in the world would you live you know that's the reason why God never told us what we're gonna die see if you knew you're gonna die in 2020 you'll be miserable in 2018 so God hid it from you so verse 20 Paul says my deepest iron hope is that I shall never fail in my duty but at all times especially right now I shall be full of courage so that with my whole being I shall bring honour to Christ whether I live or die Paul says listen to me the one reason why I am doing what I'm doing is because I want to bring honor to God whether I will live or die the last few hours I have on this earth I want to bring honor to God I'm in jail Nero is getting ready to chopping block he's about to kill me but I want to bring on I took God now many of you not saying that right now because you already planned out your life for tomorrow next week and next year Paul does not know if when tomorrow comes he's gonna live or die Nero was about to take his head off now would you like to be in the predicament that Paul was in not knowing if tonight will be your last night you'll be in a mess of a crisis and a crisis is when you don't know what to expect but Paul still has joy now we cannot always choose what will happen to us but we can always choose what will happen in us I just gave you a principle that should bless you for the rest of your life I cannot control what's around me but I can sort control what's in me I can't control what's against me that is outside of me but I can Shaw control what's in me how I relate to it how I respond to what happens to me go back to verse 12 he says I want you to know why did he say that because it was not self-evident that he would be experiencing joy in the midst of change critics and crises Paul would be shocked that he people ready would be shocked that he would be so full of joy so he has to tell them listen up want you to know the things that happened he says my change my critics my crises really happened to help the progress of the gospel and the reason why is because Paul is trusting God in his circumstances he wanted to go to Rome as a preacher ends up as a prisoner he wanted to go to Rome to release the gospel instead the gospel is being restricted he's in jail often what the devil will use to restrict you God will use to release you uh-huh what you think is a disappointment is really a divine appointment joy is knowing and trusting God in every circumstance of life I want to teach you something that I've learned over the years and I've said it before I'll say it again why in the world am I worrying or talking about something I could never change and some of us need to stop talking negatively negative talk will destroy your peace in a rupture your joy everybody who knows me this is how I live my fall my friends know when you talk to Jules keep it light keep it superficial keep it joyful because all this negative is I only have a few years on this earth I'm not gonna waste it running around a mountain being negative and not filled with sure so if there's something in your life that you don't like just leave it and you can't do anything about it you can't do anything about it leave it alone God is always checkmating the devil though the gospel has been released more by Paul being in a prisoner than by Paul being a preacher in Rome God's thoughts are not our thoughts listen to this watch this and God's ways are not our ways Paul looks up and God is doing more with Paul as a prisoner than he could have done with Paul as a preacher as a matter of fact it's been 2,000 years ago that Paul ended up in a prison and here I am in New York City who am i preaching about Paul in prison most of the New Testament you read was written by Paul where did it happen in prison if he were out preaching he wouldn't be writing so the gospel got released I don't know why God does it that way but God knows how to take a crooked stick and make a straight lake you will never know that because you want to throw in the towel before you see what God is up to the word for it is trust trust God and the gospel is being released in a unique way look at God God can bless you in the midst of problems there may come a time that thing you are crying about that thing you are all upset about a year from now God will show you it's the greatest blessing in your life and that thing that you had to get therapy about a year later what just happened I just got fine and why are you so happy because I trust God why are you shouting up in church and you just got a divorce because I trust God you just lost your business and you're not falling apart why I trust God the gospel has been released for example if you look at verse 13 it says as a result the whole palace God and all the others here when Paul first went to jail the gods who were pagans but then Paul started witnessing to the gods one of the guards came to work and Paul said what's wrong man I see your face doesn't look good you don't look healthy you don't look happy and a man says it's my wife Paul we're having some serious problems and Paul said to the God let me tell you something husbands love your wives as Christ loved the church and he counseled a guard and says you go back home and you love your wife and you be patient with your wife and you don't need to understand women and how they are wired up and God made a way for that God he started giving those God's godly counsel and they went home and tried it they tried it on Friday night and Monday morning when they came back to God Paul they snuck in some non prison food for Paul God said Paul gotta take care of my preacher and another God was having some money problems and Paul showed him what the Scriptures declared and what's God's will is for Christians George ship and the power of tithing he showed him some 24 on the earth is the Lord's and the fullness there are he talked to him about proper budgeting and money management based on the Word of God and one of the gods came back and said what are you talking about it really works I said what are you doing in jail and Paul said I'm in jail because of Jesus Christ because they didn't want me to tell you about Jesus because they didn't want your life to be any better and the God started saying you are godly man and the gods started saying what must I do to be saved and Paul said believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and sooner or later each one of those gods got saved and the God started witnessing to other gods they were saying to each other you've got to and meet this prisoner called Paul and each one of those cars was in line to meet Paul to talk with him about your situation because Paul witness to them right where he was imperfect situation terrible circumstances and yet it was the perfect moment to share the love of God the reason why God may have put you on that hell hell hole called your job so that you can witness and they all got saved and the gospel got released among the prisoners so much so that at the end of the book chapter 4 and verse 22 when Paul is giving his final greetings to the Christians in Philippi this is what he says all God's people here send greetings especially those who belong to the Emperor's Palace the Emperor's Palace guess who's getting saved those in the Emperor's Palace the gospel got released in the palace and it got released in the public because guess what the false preachers who are disingenuous were doing they were preaching the gospel because they were hoping to eclipse Paul by doing a better job than Paul and priests better than Paul and witness two more people then Paul since Paul is out of the way they said this is our time to shine so let's go start studying so we can preach better service even though they were preaching with impure motives the gospel was being preached and people were being saved which lets me know that God can use you to build up his kingdom and like the scaffolding we used to put up a building and it's removed when the building is completed so some of us will be used and taken away on the last day when God makes a piss people God can take Gloria for out of a jackleg preacher look at verse 17 there others do not proclaim Christ sincerely there are some preachers who do not proclaim Christ sincerely Paul since they are in the ministry for three reasons shine wine and reclined it says others do not break proclaim Christ sincerely but from his spirit of ambition they are ambitious is nothing has nothing to do with Christ please don't believe that everybody who sings classical music is about Christ it's about money it's about CDs it's about record sales it's about celebrity please don't believe that everyone that invites you to a big convention and conferences about Christ it's about marketing it's about selfish ambition verse 18 it does not matter Paul says I'm happy about it Christ is preached in any way no matter who preaches it I was in a hospital and a Catholic priest came by so would you like me to pray for you I said so and he prayed a good prayer I know the Lord heard the prayer because I'm here today saving somebody please don't believe that because a preacher preaches from wrong motives God cannot get the glory for example there's a sign by my house on Interstate 87 that says Albany 100 miles and people read that sign the sign is in Orange County New York and people read the sign to get to Albany New York so they get something from a sign on how to get to Albany although the sign is not going to Albany and none of you will ever go to the sign and say sign you can't tell me about how to go somewhere and you're not going there yourself a sign is pointing you to someplace it isn't going and there are some preachers who can point you to heaven and clauses I don't care just as long as you're pointing people in the right direction and Christ is lifted up all says regardless of what happens got shot whenever if you have joy you will always have a response to whatever Life brings you I will trust God and I will stay close to God in the midst of my circumstances and I may discover that what I thought may restrict me God is really using to release me you really don't know when you're blessed now how do I get there number one and I'm coming to close how can I have joy regardless of what happens number one I need a perspective to live from how you look at things because that will ultimately determine if the devil will be your joy Buster look at things the right way because most of the times the problem with our problem is not the problem is our perspective on the problem creates the problem this must be our perspective God is at work even when things don't go my way God is up to something even when things are not going my way I just got restricted no I just got released I just got a setback no that was just a setup for comeback the door got shut no other doors are about to be open you just lost some friends no you lost what you thought were friends and you're getting ready to be blessed up in this place it's a bad day no it's a good day God is at work even when things don't go your way wait on the Lord quit tripping let God do what he is doing but they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength they shall mount up with the wings of eagles they shall run and not be weary they shall walk and not fade God is about to release something into your life and all you've been thinking along the way is that God is blocking my blessing God is restricting my blessing God is holding me back God is not opening doors to me no no no God is about to do something for you and God will never act the way you want him to because you can't find God the last place you put him he's unsearchable his thoughts are not our thoughts his ways are not our ways he's a merry God this is what you haven't seen yet he sees what's coming down the pike he sees you twenty years from now he sees you twenty-five years from now he knows what's good for you he knows what's best for you you gotta learn to trust and so somebody might be in a hellhole right now just where just where the Apostle Paul was your circumstances don't look good and you don't have joy Paul says you know what no matter what my circumstances are you can take everything from me you can take my money from me you can take my health from me you can take my family from me you can take my house from me you can take my money from me you can take whatever you want from me but you know what you can't take from me you can't take my job you can take my freedom you can lock me up but you can't take my joy we need a bunch of joy-filled people to walk out of this place I've been crying yourself to sleep over things you can't change except that some things are you can never unscramble the egg when it's scrambled is scramble you either eat it or throw it away I hope somebody got my message I hope somebody saw what I saw today I see a God at work while I'm sleeping I see a God around the corner before I get to the corner saving somebody I see a God standing and tomorrow while I'm still living in today I see a guard standing at the end of my talking road waiting with a light in his hand I see God let's see God standing there waiting but up stretch arms he's saying you never understood that I was restricting you an answer Alicia you never understood that I was causing you to cry so that I'll give your joy you never understood why I did what I did so so today somebody you feel like all is lost feel like you have no hope you're like Paul you're sitting down at a prison every day you live Nero is threatening tonight as you last night every day you're hearing from Nero it's your last and yet what did Paul do he was blessed say we came a blessing to the people right around him you need to be a blessing to everybody right around you he shared Christ in a prison cell the Bible says in chapter 4 verse 22 we send your regards from the palace everybody in the palace got converted greetings from the palace in the name of Jesus sentry
