there's some people who's sitting around you today who don't even understand how little mic you got left they are driving emotionally on each thing got time to fight ain't got time to argue they got time to explain themselves they are tired of defending themselves they're tired of being misunderstood tired of always assuming the worst I'm tired of being the bigger person try to always be in the moderator try to be in the traffic God tired of being taken for granted tired of being taken lightly try to be misunderstood but in spite of all of that she still finds the strength to get to church and there some of y'all you better be honest in here when you woke up you didn't really feel like coming but you had to talk yourself into it and I guess I'll go up there today I don't know what God is gonna do but I'm so glad that I say I said he kissed and to those who have no mic he traces this right [Music] Luke's Gospel chapter 21 I want us to critically examine verses 1 through 4 Luke 21 verses 1 through 4 once you have found I want you to say I got it if you can't find it say lord help me praying for these Android people Luke 21 verses one through four as Jesus looked up he saw the rich putting their gifts into the temple Treasury he also saw a poor Widow put in two very small copper coins truly I tell you he said it this poor widow has put in more than all the others all these people gave their gifts out of their wealth but she out of poverty but in all she had to live on truly I tell you he said this poor widow has put in more than all the others all these people gave their gifts out of their wealth but she out of her poverty but in all she had to live on you may be seated in the presence of the Lord I want to preach for a little while today using as a subject man your business [Applause] laughs look at the person beside you tell him you heard the preacher mind your business long before Keshet became currency the group that affairs recorded a song that was echoed on every jukebox in black neighborhoods echoing the refine a penny for your thoughts a nickel for your kiss a dime if you tell me that you love me in this economy that bartering system would take the suitor to far as worthless as a penny might appear today if far exceeds the value of the first ones that were minted you see the first ones that were minted were known as few geo coins fu G I Oh phew yield coins or the few Gil sin there was designed by founding father Benjamin Franklin he garnered that name because of the image of the Sun and its rage shining down on the sundial caption Fujio translates in the latin to mean time flying by fuel means time flying by ironic given that bin coined the expression that time flies you're having fun time is money meaning that those who waste time are often guilty of wasting money at the bottom of the original coin was engraved the words mind your business first coins that America minted at the bottom was engraved mine your business it was in throwing shade as to today's vernacular would imply to mind your business but historians suggest that the term was to be taken literal as the curator Ben Franklin was a successful businessman so at the bottom of America's currency it was written mind your business that you would pay attention to the business in which you have charged over that stayed in circulation until 1956 in 1956 President Dwight Eisenhower passed a law that they would take off mind your business and put at the bottom of our currency in god we trust' so from 1776 all the way to 1956 the mantra for this nation was mind your business it wasn't out until 1956 that we shifted from mine your business to In God We Trust it took a long time to shift the mindset from business to trusting God my dear friends if you're going to excel in this climate you have to be able to put the two entities together that I trust God here it is to mine my business I am giving god authority over all of my business affairs I'm on every entrepreneur to lift up that hand every person who's in business for themselves that hand is lifted why because in this hour I am giving God complete authority over my business God you gave me the idea you gave me the concept you gave me the name now I'm giving it back to you this business cannot fail cause you can't fail so I'm giving it to you because I believe that resurrection is getting ready to happen from my business and the last two quarters of the year are going to far exceed everything I did at the beginning of the year God I give you a poverty over my business in my personal life and I give you authority of the business of my financial future and I give you authority over the business I have not yet created God get in my business [Applause] 1986 former chairman of Chrysler Motors was the chair of the project to restore the Statue of Liberty he received generous donations from very influential people but the gift that impacted him the most came from 78 homeless Vietnamese refugees living in a concentration camp in Thailand the 78 homeless Vietnamese refugees sent to Lee Iacocca $114 and 19 cents they had lost everything except for their hope they were willing to give their last just because they wanted to invest in Liberty you don't even understand that God has committed to so get in your business that you are going to be free from every boss obligation God says he that the Sun sets free is going to be free indeed I'm preaching while I'm prophesy he says I am freeing you from your mortgage I'm freeing you from hospital bills I'm freeing you from student loans for 50 y'all that don't man shout I'm freeing you from car notes y'all ain't saying nothing to me I am freeing you from laps are your wrist payments I am freeing you from the lien off of your house I am freeing you from people always having their handout I am freeing you from false obligation I'm freeing you from working where you are not welcome valued or appreciated I am freeing you from being under demonic supervisors I am freeing you from a place of work that causes you migraine stress blood pressure loss of sleep apps in a hair God said I am freeing you and today I spot the liberty process when I read and I read about that ragtag group of donors it reminded me of this woman that I heard about in Luke 21 she is considered by theologians as the gold medal giver of the Gospels she's a gold medal giver of the Gospels even though she only put in the offering plate two small copper coins those two small copper coins tabulates to one-fourth of a day's wages in that era they weren't called pennies they won't call times they won't called nickels hear this they were called mites and this widow woman came around for the offering and put in her last might you know might as the word to mean strength energy support power and she comes the church as a widow and she don't have much strength left her husband has that he or she is trying to make it and her grown children are nowhere to be found she's clearly operating on a fixed limited income but presses her way to worship with the strength that she got left there's some people who's sitting around you today who don't even understand how little might you got left they are driving emotionally on each thang got time to fight ain't got time to argue then got time to explain themselves they are tired of defending themselves they're tired of being misunderstood tired of always assuming the worst tired of being the bigger person try to always be in the moderator try to be in the traffic guard tired of being taken for granted tired of being taken lightly tired of being misunderstood but in spite of all of that she still finds the strength to get to church and there some of y'all you better be honest in here when you woke up you didn't really feel like coming but you had to talk yourself into it and so I guess I'll go up there today I don't know what God is gonna do but I'm so glad that I say I said he gets power to the fight and to those who have no might he increases this right I need you for whoever's standing near you I need you to shake that neighbors hand and tell them you stronger than you think you are that's the wrong way but they don't understand how strong you are I need you to shake somebody else's hand and I need you to shake it good and tell them you're stronger than you think you are you ain't no weakling you ain't no pushover you ain't no Punk with everything that you've been through if you are coward you would have committed suicide you would have jumped out the window you had a wave the white flag but you're still standing Santa Christ thankful I'm thankful for the strength I got Halladay yelled in here but I say I said I'm thankful for the strength ha ha folk got no idea what I'm dealing with get out the band every day no idea how many nights together I'm shocked that there was a guy there was a guy I apologize there's a guy I couldn't find him no way in Luke couldn't find him in math you couldn't find him in Isaiah but I bumped into this guy who said Jamal telling my testimony about how strong you are when you don't even know how strong y'all couldn't find him an axe couldn't find him in Philippians I found him y'all ain't gonna believe it I found him on Saturday morning found him on Saturday more his name was Papa he's got an amazing testimony I gotta tell you about this guy named pop I know you ain't never heard of him he ain't no way in the Bible I don't even know if he ever met Jesus kid I gotta tell you about Popeye Popeye is a Sailor man god help me in here he's he's a sailor man and was amazing about Popeye is he's always getting beat up by name by man by the name of blue dog but can I tell you why blue dog wants to fight Popeye y'all ain't gonna believe it he only wants to fight Popeye cuz he got olive oil [Applause] ain't got no church people in here you don't even know why the enemy is fighting you so bad but you got dolla boy your lip if the or your one on y'all what was what's amazing is he keeps getting beat up because Bluto wants his olive oil and our mothers our grandmothers taught us we had to eat our spinach in order for us to be strong like Papa but you know that they lied to us for years here's the evidence I know that they lie is that while Papa's getting beat up and strangled he would get a can of spinach in his hair he's supposed to not have any strikes but don't y'all know Papa open the can with his bare hands and you never figure out how did he find the strength to open that can while he was getting beat up that's because before he got beat up he touched the oil and every now and again you gotta give God already but the strife that you got when you shut up in defeat Jesus is in church one day he's in church one day the church is packed out and the way that the tabernacle is set up there were 13 boxes branch trumpet shaped around the offering baskets narrow at the top wide at the bottom they had no paper currency in Jesus's time so all of the money was in coins so when people were making big donations and offerings washes because the tenant was made out of copper it would make a sound hallelujah therefore we get the understanding the sacrifice of praise when it is that you making a sacrifice before God you shouldn't be quiet but when you making a sacrifice in the presence of God it ought to make some noise that's why I don't beg people to praise God cuz if you ain't been through nothing you ain't gonna say nothing but if you able to say through it all I'll learn to trust in Jesus do everybody's walking around they given their offering and their offerings are making a lot of noise but here comes this widow woman with these two little coins in hers don't make a lot of noise sometime people underestimate you because you don't say a lot y'all ain't saying I'm give me to upset some self-righteous folk just because you don't see me screaming don't mean I ain't got a relationship I can't hear nobody just design dancing don't mean I don't feel I'm on the inside sometimes God deals with me in a quiet way and I gotta praise him the way you praise her but God will see my sacrif due to his omniscience Jesus not only knew that she gave and how much he gave but Jesus recognized it was all that she had can you imagine the look of astonishment and amazement you sitting beside somebody in church this morning who you don't know never met and you ask them what you given today [Applause] they'd be offended he knows how secretive people become in church to an offer fill out their envelope then turn it over because they don't want you to know what it is that they give it proverbs 15 and three recalls the eyes of the Lord are in every place watching the evil and the good I want to say this to somebody I hope you'll receive it his eye is now watching my bank account his eye is on my credit score his eye is on my income the debt ratio his is on my bills I cancelled every person who has tried to fraudulently break into your account your name will not be compromised while you are giving God glory your interest is about to raise up equity is going back into your house a contract is being prepared with your name order God's got his eye the wealthy people the wealthy people who win ahead of her had the wrong intention they were giving in church for recognition and lofty perception but this poor woman was doing it as an act of worship and devotion I'm gonna pause right here I know that this obstructs where it is that we are but I just want to pause in the event that there's a remnant in the room that knows that I Oh God some worship I gotta give him my voice gotta give him my hands I gotta give him my feet if it had not been for the Lord that was on my side Oh him come on y'all gotta worship better than that you gotta praise them better than that you gotta give Him glory better than that the worshipers are doing it because they got a heart for God not cuz they want to be seen not for the camera not for the applause I'm doing it for God I was amazed on yesterday I was overwhelmed seeing five thousand young people walk in this room to know that the body of Christ was making God's name great in the earth thought we had done something poking my chest out pat myself on the back feel like we had done something cuz the shoes I'm giving a walk out her mother pulls me by my coattails a pastor Brian thank you for what you did how dare not ask you for anything else all I want you to do is pray for me say yeah I can pray for you she said I need you to do it now and don't send me to know about it I said Lord how pray for you I said then tell me what you want me to pray for and she said pastor you don't even know he was a lion outside this church but I beat all of them said you beat all of them she said yes to me in my three kids for the last week been sleeping in our car and I slip in your parking lot last night I didn't know how God was gonna make a way but I just believed if I could just get to the house of God that God was gonna make something happen for me and you want me to beg you bougie Negroes to give God glory when your children woke up in their home bed paint at the table didn't have to worry about what they will go eat you are to be giving God glory some might you know why I don't know way [Applause] you learn how to trust God hear this you gonna learn how to trust God and demonstrate your trust for God give me when you are poor you gotta trust him when you don't have it hallelujah it's easy to give God glory when you'll need nothing god I can't hear nobody but I'm telling you when stuff gets real tight and you can't breathe and can't focus and can't see straight but your trust here comes the town where you gotta stop fronting stop flossing stop perpetrating the fraud and say God I trust you even when I don't know where the money is coming from I trust you cuz I got some stuff that I can't even deal with I trust you cuz there's some bills I won't even open up I trust you I'll so let me see your sacrifice lost her husband can't find their children but still comes to church could she say down the wing God is gonna do it but I trust him to do it and they're those of you who are in this room they got your back up against the wall but you dragged yourself to church anyway and say God I don't know when you gonna do it but I believe you got a miracle with my name on it I don't know how you gonna do it but I believe that before this week is over you go reveal yourself to me do me a favor if you don't need nothing don't say nothing but if you need the power of God to work on your behalf I got you to give him glory [Applause] be seated please most of us most of us a bless that we're not as destitute as this woman she came to church all she had was two mites left she said I'm gonna come to church with no husband no insurance policy neglectful children and I'm coming to put God to the tests to see whether he's gonna really make away from me she was saying long before the Constitutional Congress in God I trust you don't even understand that the intention of Dwight Eisenhower to put In God We Trust at the bottom of the cancer is that every time you exchange money y'all ain't gonna believe it your money was saying a prayer I am praying that everything Annie goes through I don't know who this is for but this shout right here it's just for those of us that are delinquent on some stuff and and you need God's assistance to catch you up where you're supposed to be in God trust she's saying he will supply all of my needs according to his riches in glory I trust him to do it in the crazy how it is that we act we trust the cable company that when we pay the bill we expect HBO to be on in it amazing then when you go to the gas station and pay you expect that there's going to be gas in your car in that water I want to know how you trust Exxon how you trust Netflix how you trust DirecTV and you don't believe that when I give to God everything he told me I was gonna see he's going to come to pass I can tell some of y'all don't have a vision you don't have any dreams you don't have any goals but those y'all they believe if God got it I expected to come to pass [Music] [Applause] Jesus knows everybody off when he announced truly I say unto you this poor woman put in more than all these rich people that means the Lord was deep in her business to know that they gave out a surplus and she came out of her substance compared to what others gave those two mites what she gave it didn't pay the mortgage to their church where she gave it didn't meet the payroll which he gave didn't help with the utilities but when she gave the little she had it put a mandate for God to pay attention I want somebody in this room to know that God says I'm looking and what it is that you going through and I don't let you struggle in August the way you struggled in July I'm getting ready to ship said after you gave I'm stopping the line I'm stopping the line cuz I'm turning the line around that the lasts is getting ready to be first I want to make an
