God Always Proves He is Right | Angeline Francis

[Music] now this morning it's a great privilege of mine to invite sister Angeline Frances who's going to preach for us she had a word from the Lord and so I said she should so let us put our hands and welcome Angeline Frances I open whatever you sister it's like you the same by everybody I okay it's my turn [Music] good morning everyone and good morning JMK family was watching online good to see all of you here today I'm quite excited actually I'm very excited so what happened was that on the 21st of January I was woken up early in the morning at about 3:45 a.m. and at that moment the Holy Spirit told me this words okay this words came it was I heard this words very clearly from the Holy Spirit it said God always proves he is never wrong okay and I was just pondering upon this as I was getting ready for my prayer and I was wondering why God said never wrong why didn't he said God is always right you know then it don't me it's because we because of our faith which we do not have enough faith that sometimes we say maybe God is wrong so that was all this was going in my mind okay so anyway after that I got ready for prayer and I prayed and I worshipped and then this word kept coming again and what I did was I stressed each word I said God always proves he's never wrong God always proves he's never wrong Amen God Oh with Bruce he's never wrong God always proves he is never wrong god of his prowess he is never wrong it's always happening it was not a wuss he's still doing and finally God always proves he is never wrong ok I'm n so after worship I quieten down and then the Lord revealed his heart to me and after that he gave me some instructions so after that I wrote everything down and then I went to bed and then the next morning on the 21st at very morning pastor said Angeline do you have any words that you want to share with the congregation before we leave you know he said I was like wow you know I've told him yes and I was very overwhelmed because you know God is so good he gave me the message before pastor could ask me because imagine if pastor asked me first and what I could have said I'll be like yeah let me see-oh I said okay but what message should I speak which part you know but God is so good he told me beforehand so that means when God calls you he always ensures that you are prepared he knows you are ready he knows you are equipped he knows you can do it that is why he asks you and all you need to do is say okay Lord Here I am to do your will Amen so I was very overwhelmed so I'm excited to share with you before that can we all pray just bow our head our Father we thank you that you are with us here lord thank you that you are here lord thank you God that I stand near you God thank you that you will use me as your mouthpiece let every word that comes from my mouth be of you Lord touch us give us seeing eyes listening ears and an understanding heart tune our hearts to yours Oh father so that we would get a revelation father of who you are Lord we thank you Father we love you in the name of Jesus we pray amen okay now can you open this the first pipe okay there are three parts to my message so part one is all about faith so can you open your Bible to Hebrews 11 810 now this will be the foundation text for today's message and surprisingly this was the very message that God gave Pastor Steven and me regarding our move to Charlotte so it was by faith that Abraham obeyed when God called him to leave home and go to another land that God would give him as his inheritance he went without knowing where he was going by faith he went to live in the land of promise as in a foreign land living in tents with Isaac and Jacob hairs with him of the same promise Abraham was confidently looking forward to a city with eternal foundations a city design and built by God so this was the the passage the the verse that the Lord gave me so you know I have read this passage before but somehow this time I was actually very intrigued about Abraham and I was thinking Abraham we all know who Abraham is you know other than Moses he was the most talked-about character in the Old Testament and he's known as the father of faith and in James 2:23 it says that abraham believed God and it was counted to him as righteousness and he was called a friend of God amen so and I was just amazed with Abraham who is this Abraham so I was looking to the descriptor Bible and Abraham you you'll see the name Abraham starting from Genesis 12:1 2 so can we have that scripture please now you could go back to the scripture now can you go to Genesis 12 verses 1 to 4 that's where we get to know about Abraham now the Lord said to Abraham go from your country and your kindred and your father's house to the land that I will show you 1 2 for I will make of you a great nation and I will bless you and make your name great so that you will be a blessing I will bless those who bless you and him who it is honestly our curse and you all the families of the earth shall be blessed so Abraham went okay Abram I'm to say Abraham K as the Lord had told him and not been with him Abraham was 75 years old when he departed from her on now so from this passage we got to know about Abraham basically he lives in this city of all you are and I dig up some information about this city is actually a thriving city in Mesopotamia near the river Euphrates okay and his father Terah moved from all to Haran and they were reciting them and then Abraham Baberaham he was a shepherd he was 75 years old and we also got to know that he's a very wealthy man because in verse 5 it says that Abram took Sarai his wife and lot his brother's son in all their possessions that they had gathered and the people that they are required that means that all their possessions and all the people are required so he was a very wealthy man so I was thinking Abraham Abraham he is a shepherd okay he's a wealthy man how in the world did he have such faith to just go to a place where God tells him to and he is a pagan he was living in a heathen land how did he know that true Living God and he demonstrated such faith you know to leave the home where you know in those times the fam unique families living in units is very important you usually are you don't get to hear about families living far apart now all living communally together how how did he live what did Sarah say or what did his father terror say or whoever else what did they say or including if he's a wealthy man he would have been a very influential man and I was just imagining so what would his friends or his neighbors would have said they could have question his wisdom are you sure you're doing the right thing you know so thinking about all this and moreover he is 70 fires all can you believe in God see of a make of you a great nation and he doesn't even have one offspring so I was very amazed okay I was amazed because when the Lord told us when we had to move I had my struggles which you all know I was talked about before but I but we obeyed no matter what we obey the Lord but I was just thinking did Abraham go through all this feelings in him you know so as I was pondering upon this I came to strongly believe that Abraham must have had an encounter with the true Living God what do you think I think so too because prior to that means prior to John Genesis 12 he must have known the Living God and that was why in Genesis 12 when the Lord called him he knew whose voice it was he knew it was the voice of the Abba Father the true God Yahweh who is calling upon him so he must have had an encounter and I was thinking how could that be but as I read the scriptures I realized that Abraham was a worshiper of God because when he made his way to Kannan wherever God spoke to him or where he settled down he will build a place of altar for God which lot didn't do but Abraham did so he was a worshipper of God and I was just thinking about I was thinking maybe you know he was searching for the true Living God he wanted to know who it was I'm think I would I thought that way because I was like that before when I was young I was searching for the true Living God for so long I tried out religions I remember even when I was below 12 I used to question God I said God who who is the real you and I used to ask God what is the purpose of me being in this earth what am i suppo is it just to live get married and die that's it isn't there something more than that so all these questions used to run my mind until I met the true Living God and after that there was no turning back for me I would do anything that God tells me to so I think Abraham would have questioned he would have twist about this and one day he had that beautiful revelation of God but God spoke to him and you know what God could have chosen and because God knew his heart not because he was a shepherd God knew his heart and he know that when he speaks to Abraham Abraham will obey so you see brothers and sisters when God chooses you he chooses you because of your heart not because of your talents or whatever else that you may know not because you are married not married got children no children you're single he doesn't see all that is whether you have the heart to obey so I just wanted to say that Abraham when he heard when he found out the true Living God he had this resolve in him that he only obey him that he will always obey him that he will never ever take a step back from God amen and that was why he left for Canaan so just like Abraham when God calls us let us not give us cues but take that both stuff to step to obey Him amen all right so let's continue so Abram goes to Cannon and guess what happens in Canon if you look at scripture Genesis 12 verse 10 now there was a famine in the land so Abram went down to Egypt as a John therefore the famine was severe in the land imagine the shock Abram would have had gosh God tells me to come to Cana and Canon is facing a famine now did he go back to Haram did he go back he did not because he resolved to follow God only amen but I think here he could have done a mistake instead of seeking the Lord to find out what he should do next he said John to Egypt and you all know what happened in Egypt he lied about his relationship with his wife all because he wanted to protect his life and I was thinking hmm here is Abraham he wanted to obey God he left to a place where he didn't even know where it was but at this moment he feared for his life suddenly didn't he feel his life at that moment when the Lord told him to move so I think Abraham Abram shifted his eyes from God to his circumstance and that was why he was not aligned with God anymore you know what I mean his faith could have left him so that was I when he saw the situation instead of looking keeping his eyes on God he could have seen the situation and he decided to take matters into his own hands so that was a failure of of a character of Abraham but you see God is so good he didn't he didn't curse Abraham he just blessed him he just forgave him and blessed because when Abraham left Egypt he was blessed so much of wealth more possession amen so God knows that we women are we children of him a weak not women okay we men a weak we are men we are men okay and he knows that when we have me weak we we make mistakes and God knows that he understands us so much amen so what did God do so he protected and blessed Abraham despite his lack of faith at that moment because God honored that first step that Abraham made which was taking the step to go towards Kanaan so whatever happens along the way if you if you lack faith God is going to still protect you and bless you so even now when we're all in fearful of this coronavirus we may like faith but God knows he will protect us he will bless us amen amen okay so God never chooses a perfect man he only chooses someone with the right heart alright so we continue so from Egypt Abraham went back to Cana and he came God spoke to him he said I will make your offspring as the best of the earth you know when when God said that he didn't say yeah right yes Lord that's uh Jonas is 13 14 to 17 okay so he didn't doubt he didn't mock God he believed God amen and we shall look at one more scripture which is Genesis 15 verses 3 to 4 and abiram say behold you have given me no offspring and a member of my household will be my hair one more verse and be and behold the word of the Lord came to him this man will not be your hair your own son shall be your hair and he said and he brought him outside please continue and he said look toward heaven and Number the Stars if you are able to number them and then he said to him so surely offspring be and abraham believed the lord and he counted it to him as righteousness so abraham you see God gave the word 25 years ago when he was 75 and Abraham had Isaac when he was 100 years old 25 years of waiting so here I used to think Lord why did you have to say it so much earlier you know but I think God has said it that early so that Abraham can move forward with his eyes fixed on him knowing that God will bless him with an offspring but what we tend to do is we think that when when the Lord gives us a prophecy we think is gonna take place in the next few months maybe the next year not knowing that sometimes his prophecy can be so far many years in time example like how pastor Steve and I said when I was 16 and a half the Lord said that he'll bring in two nations but that only hoping happened 30 years later to Germany amen so Abraham had patience he didn't doubt he didn't mock God so what can we learn from him that when God gives a word we have to hold on to it knowing and trusting that it will come to pass no matter how long it takes it will happen God always proves he is never wrong amen so therefore Abraham was a friend of God he was a father of faith he was a man of courage patience strength he had strong convictions he didn't give up halfway so God wants people with strong convictions with us with a steadfast spirit so that no matter what happens we do not go back when we put our hand on the plow we will never turn back that's the kind of people that's the kind of laborers children servants that he wants and you see when Abraham had an encounter he changed that is the most important part it's not about having the encounter and you feel goosebumps all over you and he say who I feel like you know floating some some people you don't have this kind of experience I see Goldust they tell me that too but the question is did that encounter change you and transform you that is the important thing so for Abraham he had I believe he had a supernatural experience but he didn't go around telling people you know I had this experience but what he did was he proved to God that he is a changed man by obeying him and that is what God wants from us he wants us to have a life of obedience because faith without actions is dead because we can have all the faith but are we bold enough to take that first step forward and that needs boldness and that is action so well I'm odd with Abraham that he had the supranational experience and instead of doing nothing he proved to God and he went forward so today God is telling us to have the same faith as Abraham he want us to believe him beyond any doubt beyond any doubt because God is never wrong and we are his children will be his witnesses test to testify that God is never wrong amen so we in JMK now we all have it encounters like Abraham have we changed our we convicted heavy HAP do we have a resolution or heart no matter what happens I will only follow God do you have that resolve in you has that encounter have those encounters changed you so that is something I would like you to reflect upon which I did too and we have received prophecies of the prophecies in this church in conferences what have we done with them did we act upon them did we take the prophecy seriously first of all or do we think God was just making a suggestion and do we trust the Word of God now you know positive and I said many times when he was young he used to read the word and cry over the scriptures knowing that God has spoken to him for example like in Psalms 23 6 surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life and I would join in the houses a lot forever do you when you read that do you receive it knowing that it is Word of God spoken to me do you receive it in faith it is not just about prophecies but it's also by the Word of God do we believe do we trust the Word of God that every word that is there every promise that is given that it is for you amen so just like Abraham when we focus on our circumstances suddenly our perspective changed now God looks very small looks very distant and that was why Abraham made that mistake he lied he he did all his instinct went to Egypt and all that so we need to fix our eyes on Jesus no matter what yes it is tough it is not easy but we can do it by the Spirit of God not by might not by power but by the Spirit of the Lord amen and God never makes mistake do we should never ever ever doubt him it's due to our limited knowledge and wisdom that we tend to to doubt him but God has proven again again in our lives in the Bible that his word is always true amen what God says he will do he will do we must stand in faith amen so in JMK every week we have testimony and sometimes when you hear those testimonies you just can't believe it isn't it God has done impossible things in your lives our men so before I share more about that I just want to share toss a short testimony of mine where the impossible happened okay so basically when I was young every June and December holidays I my family and I will take the train and go to my grandma's hometown in city r1 okay and I love to go there because my grandma has a farm she has good she has cows and then she had all the fruit trees and vegetable plants and all that and I love to go there because I'm always you know we are all cooped up in our HDB flat okay so once I go that that's it I'm just loose free so I will you know it's just running around sometimes my grandma will say going pluck some brinjal I'm gonna make curry so I'll just go to the garden and pluck some brinjals I still remember that and tomatoes and then I will climb the guava tree and pluck the guava and just taste them it's so delicious without any steroids in it you know and then I would play masa masa and mine is not a play play masa masa real masa masa with real fire real vegetables real curry powder and I'll cook I tell you it does for the days and I think since that time I always loved rural life rural life I never liked the city I never liked less I never liked buildings I just wanted a small house a combo house and just have a garden and stay there you know and come yeah okay and then a few years ago the Lord gave me this word oh yeah I've been told possible I used to tell pastor I said God is gonna give us a house so you're gonna yeah okay but he will not send you to see I say it's not just a house but with a backyard with a garden where we can climb trees you say okay he'll just say okay and I would tell you sometimes I'll say you know I wish I was born in the 50s I wish I lived in the 70s life was so simple no technology you know I don't know I'm sure some of you will agree with me life was beautiful at that time my childhood was in that sense was beautiful so one day the Lord gave me this verse it's just sort of I just got this word Psalm 16 verse 6 the Lord is my chosen portion and my cup you hold my lot the lines have fallen for me in Pleasant places indeed I have a beautiful inheritance it is some 16 6 now when I saw that I know God is gonna give me a land I just knew it but I really thought it's just gonna be like maybe half acre kind of thing with you know a house and how only 1/2 acre ok Licata a curvy so so I knew it but I thought maybe he'll give it to me in Malaysia I was telling pastor let's go to Mission look for a place and then and I thought I'm gonna have this place in my retiring age after 60 seventies you know and lo and behold you know what happened last year the Lord told us to move to Charlotte Kings Mountain well thank God we have Google now we can at least know where the place is not like a he didn't even know where this land was amen so you know I'm so thankful for that and we could actually see Google and see the place but I just can't believe that puzzle and I we own a land now a big land with where we are going to plant fruit trees and vegetables and maybe we will rear some chickens and pesticide-free plants vegetables yes chickens without any injection you know hormone hormone injections so I'm gonna have okay knee I will talk about organic and this time I'll have cheap organic food but I know that it's not gonna be easy just like how an Abraham when there was a famine it's not gonna be easy I know that it's a foreign land it's a foreign culture I mean you can't even just walk to the shop you need to have a transport mode of transportation to just to go to a shop you know what I mean so there there are going to be struggles but from this message that I prepare now I really know for sure that I need to focus keep my eyes fixed on Jesus and not that those circumstances amen so this is a powerful testimony for me and His Word is always true because I never doubted I just saw it happen later but I didn't excited to be so soon praise the Lord thank you lord so numbers 23:19 says God is not man that he should lie or a son of man that he should change his mind has he said and will he not do it or has he spoken and will he not fulfill it so shall we all look forward to Jesus fix our eyes on him and walk forward with unwavering faith in amen all right now I'm gonna go to pot - can you put me put the now this is part 2 where where God's heart was revealed to me you know that day on the 24th of January after prayer God revealed his heart to me and he said this words which I was quite burdened but I know that the Lord is telling for us so that so that we will be transformed he said I still need to prove my worthiness to my children they have seen my Providence goodness love and strength and yet they run after other gods which lead them to death no I was very burdened when God said I still need to prove he's a asking do I still need to prove and he says that he has given us Providence he has given us goodness laugh strength does he still need to prove to us why do we still doubt him why do we still think that he could have made a mistake when he gives us what when he gives a promise he will do it amen so the Lord is saying but my children are running after other gods which we all know it's money Korea position anything else that takes our eyes away from him they are the gods and he says that these lead them to death so you can't see him think about how we in Singapore be slog sucked so much that we spend the whole day at work night at work and we come home late in the night and we go to bed that's happening in many families that they don't even get to enjoy their homes that they brought and many are stressed in this rat race overwhelmed by sickness and you know that Singapore is considered one of the least happiest nations in the world so well we have to do something about it so God is seeing our heart he saying that is not trusting him we are depending on our own resources and capabilities but he is saying come to me right he's saying come to me I am the one who is gonna refresh you so we continue now and he says so arise my children be my witness of how I can change one's life completely like yours you who were in the bottomless pit I have lifted you up and crowned you with love and compassion and I think whoever you are here you know what God is talking about how many of you here you were in the bottomless pit before that's me I mean you don't have to lift your hands but I'm just asking you to reflect I think most of us were so God is saying he has changed her life like example for me I was really in the pit and God lifted me up from the miry clay he cleansed me he washed me he gave me a new identity he gave me a new family he gave me a new position in Christ and he gave me a new name my baptized name and I think we should just be so overwhelmed with Thanksgiving for what he has done in our lives does he still need to prove his worthiness I don't think so amen so he's saying he lifted you up and he crowned you we are his prince and princesses and he has crowned us with love and honor shouldn't we give that back to him shouldn't we love him with all our hearts and honor him as our true Living God so this is something for us to reflect upon and then he continues he says many fear of losing to this world but I have called them out of this world so stop trying to prove yourself to the world that you are worthy instead come to me and I will show you your worth now many fear now I think fear is the biggest challenge all of us have okay fear of living fear of losing out fear of what men will think of us feel fear of men what do they talk about us you know one is face value what men think of us the other fears losing out to this world and this fear comes because we are focused on ourselves and that's how that fear comes so God is saying don't focus on yourself focus on him and he see if you the thing is he's saying you are fearing of losing in this world but you are not of this world aren't you when you were translated from the kingdom of darkness to the kingdom of the dear son we are not of this world so the world is against us so why do we need to prove to this world about our worthiness but you look at the compassion the love that God has for us he's saying don't try to prove yourself to the world come to me and I will show you your worth he's saying that he will show us how worthy how precious we are to him isn't God good and we don't even have to prove to him anything because the fact that we have faith in Him is credited as righteousness amen so God is say come to me rely on me so if you are worried about the world about your living your career we have Matthew 6:33 which says seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and everything else shall be added unto you and that is all we need to do so stop proving to the world you are worthy and come to God because the world will always try to disqualify you only God will find one matter of yours to qualify you he will look even if you're the most greatest sinner he will still look for one quality of you to qualify you amen so God wants to prove how worthy we are to we are worthy to be his son and daughter hallelujah all right this is the next part that is he talks so he says so come to me lean on me rely on me doing in all my strength and none from yours in this world nothing is worthy other than me my call in your life and your time with me and my word God is inviting you to come to him to rely on him to do everything in his strength and not on your strength as in Philippians 4:13 you know call in our life our time with God for some of us it's the least in priority and I remember pastor preaching in a few months ago last year when he said that when God said that what we regard rubbish as here is precious in heaven and what we regard precious here is considered as rubbish in heaven and you know what I'm talking about so God is saying come to him and rest and pastor Michael we just spoke about rest last week didn't he he said that when you come into rest you are strengthened you are revived and he said that you become productive you will have dominion you can possess you can subdue enemies when God allows when we allow God to minister to our hearts enter a spirit so God is say come and rest in him and reading the Word of God is a form of rest do you know that reading the Word of God is also healing now if we look at proverbs 4 verses 20 to 22 this was set by Kenneth Hagin when he said that the word is our medicine proverbs 4 verse 22 26 my son be attentive to my words incline your ear to my say let them not escape from his sight keep them within your heart for they are life to those who find them and healing to all their flesh so the Lord is telling you to make rest as most important part of your life to rest in him to rest and read his worth to read his work and that is healing for you and during the SOP pastor spoke about tithing your time to the Lord so in a day you have 24 hours right so what is 1/10 of that two point four hours so can rededicate two point four hours for the Lord to pray to seek Him to read the word to just have quiet and quiet time with him amen let that be our priority from now on strive to know him love him reveal him know his word and this is the last part of his word he says can you go back to my iPad he says you are my pride and joy stand victoriously for such a time as this when you need to be planted firmly in me I will prove you wrong of whatever you thought I can do and I can't do wow I was a bit amazed at the last sentence when he said and I was thinking what he was trying to say so first of all he think that we eyes pride and joy now many of us here we have a lot of condemnation of hearts and Romans 8:1 says there is no condemnation Christ Jesus you see we are humans we make mistakes but all we need to do is to come in full total repentance and God forgives us he doesn't even remember our sins anymore as in Isaiah 43 he said blots out our sins he doesn't remember them but we remember them and that stops us from coming near to God today God is saying you are my pride and joy yes you have made mistakes but it's okay you have repented I've forgiven you you are my pride and joy and you know reading the word not only heals it is also thanked it also sanctifies you you know I was so shocked when I read John 15:3 the other day John 15:3 where Jesus tells his disciples he says you already you are clean because of the word I have spoken to you Wow when we read the word we are sanctified that is why when we go on a fast it is no use fasting from food without reading the word you're just dieting but when you fast with reading of the word you are sanctified within Amen what a powerful how powerful is this word of God and we are so thankful that we are able to to have hold of this word of God where in many countries we are not able to so he's saying he will prove oh sorry um yes he says he will prove you he is never wrong of whatever he thought he can do a lot what he's trying to say then I understood he's saying that you thought that God will do this this way to deliver you out of an issue but God is saying no no that's not the way I'm gonna do I'm gonna do it in a far different miraculous way that you can't even think of because our knowledge is so limited so God is saying can you go back to my slide he's saying I will prove you that I'm never wrong or whatever I can't you thought I can do because he can do much much in a much bigger magnanimous way and he says I will prove you that I'm never wrong or whatever he thought I can't do when he thought you can't when you thought God can't help you through the situation but God will he will prove you wrong amen so I really thank the not for this works because a since ours 1830 his ways perfect the word of the Lord proves true if you go to Sam's 1830 he is a shield for those who take refuge so god always proves he is true he is never wrong amen thank you lord now we will go on to the third part which is the last part where God gave some instructions for us all right first thing he said was contained in me that's the first word he said and I decided to look up the dictionary I mean first I jotted everything down and the later on when I wanted to expound on this when I look in the dictionary these are the words so to contain in Jesus means to keep in limit to check your ways to halt to be within him hold him comprising him include him in everything you do and close be enclosed in him be bound to him bear up to be bed up by him so we just need to abide in Jesus you know when the moment he said containing me the first thing the vision that came to me was a container you know that Topol container was looking dusky okay so God is saying contained in him let's say if you ever issue like a container he's saying when we are in him we will be able to overcome anything and then the vision from a container went to a container lorry nothi okay so God is bigger than that and then what was the next vision a container ship so God is that magnanimous so nothing is impossible for him we just need to contain in him we need to abide in him our men so he says I am the vine you are the branches whoever abides in me and I in him he it is that bears much fruit for apart from me can do nothing and that's one thing we need to keep telling the Lord Lord I can never do anything apart from you amen okay next he said he gave eight instructions at the second one he says can't tribute to my cause contribute means to give a supply in common with others to give a part to a common fun play a significant part in bringing about an end result so God is saying if you love me serve me be fruitful bless others if anyone serves me he must follow me and where I am there with my servants be also if anyone serves me the father will honor him so this is something that positive and always preaches in our church do something for the Lord it can be anything you can't even be the doorkeeper anything for the Lord and God will honor us amen so we need to contribute to kingdom purposes we need to be Kingdom minded to contribute to Kingdom purposes amen all right then he said correspond with my word what is correspond correspond means to be in conformity or agreement to compare closely or to be equivalent to so God is telling strive to conform to me he's selling strife sorry live a life of progression and transformation that he that means as a life of a believer we can never be in a standstill we all know that we either backslide or we move forward so God is saying move forward with me transform be transformed by the word he's saying live a life of righteousness and holiness holiness that means in whatever you do it must show Christ's likeness and it's just not about having faith it's about doing that's important part just like Abraham he had faith but he did he did the action of moving to Kannan so in the same way the Lord is saying it's not just having the faith but we must be doers of the word in James as in James so let the word of Christ dwell in you richly teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom singing Psalms and hymns and spiritual songs with thankfulness to your heart let's be doers of word next he said contend for your faith content means to maintain a certain battle struggle fight against our difficulties now this is the word given to us last year that as believers in the end times we will be vulnerable to apostasy and easy grace now apostasy means abandoning your faith there will come a time where we will be put to the test but the Lord is saying hold on hold on to me never give up on your faith on on your faith and easy grace where as in I will read from Jude 1:2 for easy grace where false teachers will bring in false teachings saying that it's okay to sin you're already forgiven and people are seduced by these words and so they abandon their faith and they follow this easy grace module easy grace way so in James 1 3 to 4 it says beloved although I was very eager to write to you about sorry Jude 1:3 to 4 sorry beloved although I was very eager to write to you about our common salvation I found it necessary to write appealing to you to contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the Saints for certain people have crept in unnoticed who long ago were designated for this condemnation ungodly people who pervert the grace of God into sensuality and deny our only master and Lord Jesus Christ so the Lord is telling us to contend for faith especially in the end times where we'll be tempted we could be forsaken we may feel that we could be forsaken but no matter what we need to know we need to hold onto the fact that God is always good amen okay next he said be content content means to be satisfied he's just telling us to have a heart of Thanksgiving you know in psalm 50:23 it says it is written that the one who offers thanksgiving a sacrifice glorifies the Lord you know the fact that we move we eat we breathe is because of the Lord amen so even if we may have nothing we have to be time for the Lord that we are in life and I think having a Content heart is a blessing because just recently I was just talking to my aunt a former neighbor and she was so upset and she I asked what happened she said you know I went to the polyclinic I had this you know usually they have phone numbers the identification number in the pollak line not of the IC it was a different number and she said okay when I go back she's not a believer when I go back home I'm gonna take for D I'm gonna take for D okay but the thing is when she went back home she was so tired that she didn't go to the shop to get the 40 and next day that number was first price and she said she cried the whole day whole day four thousand dollars she said she missed and she cried and she called me and she cried and I was just thinking my heart no I mean of course I comforted her processing in lord thank you for giving me a content heart you know that that peace that content is something that no one else can give other than the Lord amen so that is what we need to ask for for a Content heart a heart of Thanksgiving and that is what the Lord wants us to have the fear of the Lord leads to life then one rest content untouched by trouble including now amen okay next God says walk continuously with me continuously is without interruption with an eye with our eyes fixed on the Lord so the verse for this I just wanted to read is therefore let us also lay aside every weight and sin which clings so closely and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us looking to Jesus the founder and perfecter of our faith who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross despising the shame and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God we need to lay aside every weight I remember a car number which preacher who said that I think I can remember but he said that you know God's God's desire is for his children to fly like an eagle but the problem is because of the all the waste that attached to us we are unable to fly but what the Lord wanted us to shed off the weight shut up shut up always and to fly like an eagle amen it is tough but with the Lord anything is possible we can do all things in Christ Jesus amen so if our eyes are fixed on him before eyes are fixed on things above and not on things beneath we can move forward then he says be collective you know if I collected or just this morning I will be on the CNA and we saw the words that one of the MPS said that he wants collective defense from now on he says that every citizen has to pay I play a part in keeping this coronavirus at bay so he he didn't want the self selfishness where everyone is hoarding things you know holding the mass as any tithers that those who really need it they do not have it so exactly so the MP said that we need to have collective defense in the same way the Lord is saying be collective be one body in Christ be united collective means to be united shared pooled mutual common and joint so for that you know we cannot be collective and without love we need to have love and jesus said only when you love one another you are known to be a disciple of me so this love is not just about having this feeling in your heart but it's about action it's about doing something for others that you would like it to be done for yourself so have a haha sorry we know that we have passed out of death unto life because we love the brothers whoever who does not love abide in debt Wow you know the first time I read the scripture that really gripped my heart if we don't love we abide in death so we need to love because God is love as we Archer enough god we must abide in love and that love only the lot can give we can't love others with a human love because we were tend to judge but when we ask God for the divine love and when that a bison our heart it is so easy to look at another person through the lens of Christ amen and God also say love one another and also deal with your isolation because you can never person so much but if you don't get together you are not being you are not being bad up by others you need others to help you you cannot survive alone in the end times so not neglecting to meet together as a habit of some but encouraging one another and all the more you see the day drawing near so especially now at this season we need to be together we need to be united for the purposes of the kingdom amen and this the last one overcome confusion just as I said just now in content for your faith you see we are gonna hear all kinds of teachings but we must not get distracted we must not get confused we need to know the Word of God like the back of our hand we need to be single-minded in purpose so that even when we make that step and we could have seen like Abraham a famine in front of us we will not detour to Egypt but we will still move forward amen so God is saying remove this remove confusion be single-minded you know some of us have this this habit of having indecisiveness and that is something we need to ask the Lord to remove we need to have in this times we need to have besides decisiveness when we decide to follow the Lord we follow no turning back so brothers I do not consider that I have made it my own but one thing I do forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of cheese of God in Christ Jesus our goal is to press on towards the goal and what is the goal our crown do not ever give up this crown for anyone else it is your crown which is for you go for it amen so brothers and sisters this is what we are going to declare today this these words were from God and he is telling us to believe him yes okay so shall we all arise we're gonna declare together and you're gonna pray hallelujah thank you Father oh thank you Father thank you Jesus alright we're going to declare shall we all read together one two three I will contain myself in God I will contribute to the cause of God I will correspond my waist with the word of God I will contend for my faith I will always be contented I will walk continuously with God I will be collective I will overcome confusion so finally God is still moving and proving how great he is God is never wrong he is always always always right amen shall we all pray [Music]
