in february god is good and god is faithful hallelujah aside for the fact that today is our thanksgiving service today is also our pastor's appreciation service hallelujah come on is that how we want to appreciate yourself hey please don't appreciate my pastor weekly please appreciate my pastor has been a great blessing like if you are truthful to yourself you will know that beyond the words the preachings or the teachings that come from here the grace that you contact the grace that you are walking in that things do not fail in your hand that you never lose a battle it is the grace that is pouring out of the man of god on this place hallelujah can you celebrate him one more time hallelujah hallelujah for those of us for those of us that are wondering why are we making a force i'm just going to give you two reasons the first one is that it's uh commanding the bible the bible says that um that we should um doctor please help me so i don't quote out of context estimating 517 i like the tpc translation please help me so that when when i say appreciate our pastor next time like you understand that is a commandment please can i have it okay verse 17 the tpt says the pastors who lead the church well should be paid well see it is not i didn't i didn't bring the scripture from my house is in the bible it says they should receive double or no so if for instance you've been honoring somehow bible says double he says for faithfully preaching and teaching the revelation of the word of god he says they should be giving double or no double oh no double or no double or no praise god that's one reason the second reason is that as a church honor is one of our cultures we are not for a living in this church we honor our pastors and our leaders so for those of us that do not know if you're new in church i'm i'm telling you as a church we have a one of our cultures is honor so if you have anyone that is a pastor over you or a leader or anyone that has blessed you with spiritual gifts or whatever we as we one of our cultures is that we honor them so one of the ways that we honor honor is that we give gifts we bless them we pray for them we also give them money we give them money we give them money we give them money [Music] we give them money let me pause for effect and when you give them money you give them money with the understanding that it is double or no you're not giving them because they don't have it's because you want to tap into the grace that is upon their lives hallelujah hallelujah that's the case in the building can we one more time honor the gift of god over this house come on because you know that there are graces that you are sucking [Music] hallelujah [Music] praise god praise god praise god hallelujah [Music] papa please be here with us okay to make you blush we're going to make you shy today just bear with us okay so one more time we're going to say together bk we love you want to go hallelujah praise god praise god and finally we're going to be praying for our senior pastor we're going to be praying using the scripture isaiah 40 verse 31 and i have the new king james version when i was reading this scripture it meant something different for me it says but those who wait on the lord you know one of the meanings of weight on the weight on is to serve and pk serves us on irregular okay so the bible says that so if our rephrase he says for but those who serve the lord shall have their strengths renewed praise god so we're going to be praying for pk this this morning we're going to be praying that his strength will continually be renewed we're going to pray that he shall mount upon wings like eagles when i was trying to understand what this means it means that every obstacle that he faces he would overcome okay and he says that he shall run and not be weary that means that when the time comes for him to do certain things when the time comes for him to run or to serve in any capacity he will not be weary and finally he says that he will walk and not faint he will not get tired the vision that god has placed in his hands the ministry that god has placed in his hands will not fall to the ground he will not be tired he will not be weak he will not faint in the day of adversity prayers in the name of jesus oh father we thank you my ekadosha satay we pray for our senior pastor oh god he was continually strengthened his strength is renewed on a regular father we pray oh god for pastor k o god that he would he would every obstacle that he faces he would always overcome we pray oh god he will not be weary in the in the in in his work we pray oh god he will he will not faint he will not be tired he will not go into depression he would forever be renewed by by your spirit in his inner man in the name of jesus we ask for supernatural strength we ask that your grace be made available to him continually his head will never lack oil hey cut father we give you praise lord we thank you o god

appreciate this this really really really means a lot to me praise god all right so today we're starting a series titled if if come and say with me if okay so um we're going to look at some things you know if it's happening the things that should accompany it so the first one that we're doing today for this first sunday is if you are saved if you are saved there are certain things that should be happening if you are saved this means if you are born again if you are born again if you are saved glory to god if you are saved means if you have salvation romans 10 verse 9 and 10 says you know if we believe in our heart and confess with our mouth the lord jesus then we shall be saved look at it that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the lord jesus and shall believe in thy heart that god raised him from the dead thou shalt be what saved thou shalt be saved you shall be saved saved from what saved from what what this means is that first of all human beings need saving but what are we saved from number one we are saved from eternal domination hell fire we're saved from hell somebody said why is god even sending people to hell at all is he not a good god is he not love so why is he sending everybody to hell that is a very good question hello somebody i said that is a very word good question so i want you what's your name i can't hear you because you're my story jeremiah you know jeremiah today for this acting you are adam come what's your name candy today you are eve come on the stage so this good god called god that is a loving god he he had angels that were his servants but he wanted relationship because angels have to obey him they don't have a choice but he wanted people that would love him that would choose to love him that he would relate to it so he made adam and eve now the only challenge is i give them free will that means they can choose to love him and all of him because it can be love if you have to love me by force love has to be that you want to love me so he gave them free with that means they can do anything like so adam and eve come he follow your heart now that's what cosplaying problem the first time you are not following well so adam and eve stand like this face me face my side swallow my leave he told them hey guys there are many things in getting eat everything but don't eat this fruit because you will get the knowledge of good and evil what does it mean by knowledge is not information it means from the day you eat this fruit you will see the other side of life which you are not meant to see which is death sickness poverty before this time all they had was positive can you imagine a life where everything is positive no negative i never forget what i'm saying that was what he gave them no not they didn't even know what they didn't that emotion called fear they had never felt it didn't even know it no sickness no nothing there was no rain every plant was growing automatically there was no rain the first time rainfall was in the days of noah no rain everything was automatic lions were not chasing him everyone was relating well there was no negativity in the world no sickness so if you are saying and why some people say why are they earthquakes today why are they listening to that you've not been well explained or well taught the word of god when god created everything that was it was perfect not one thing was wrong not one that's why adam adam never had a prayer request only every time he prayed or related with god was fellowship with god which is what we have lost today every time we come to god is about asking things that's never what the concept of prayer was then these two guys went to eat the fruit they said you know it so death sickness poverty all the negatives lost i mean all the negative of life started now there was also on that plant on that tree in that garden so you have to quickly drive them before they eat that tree if they eat that one it means they will remain here permanently with sickness so imagine your idea parents they are all the sickness they have and they refuse to die picture it if they are eating that tree of life it means they will stay here for life so you need to understand everything god was doing it might not look it might look like punishment it wasn't even one of them was trying to help us you must always understand god stand every day every time he's positive his help he's never trying to hurt you never you might just not understand what he's doing and if you're getting what i'm saying so he quickly pushed them out of the garden before they eat the tree of life or else imagine imagine i mean asthma people understand this imagine they don't do new season you continue the same season you have had but you continued it next year that means if you're number 15 last year you continue from number 15 as you start museum number 15. so god had to quickly you know he couldn't leave them like that permanently so you have to push them out of the garden now but by that time the whole earth because the earth was in their control then the whole earth had been corrupted now this had nothing to do with god when god was the one in charge he was getting of eating everything was perfect even our lions were not eating humans everything's perfect but when the message of the whole earth became corrupted and god said you know what what are we going to do we have to rescue people from this life and from eternal damnation so he brought his son jesus and opened the door of salvation that's why jesus christ will say things like i'm the way the truth and the life you hear him say i'm the door if you pass through me whatever whatever so he opened this door and said from now on we have to save people because this boat is a sinking boat so if you become born again we save you we're not trying to punish you this one is already corrupt that's why this world is already dying that's what you want to do about it it's going to die sicknesses will improve that's right if you sit down because virus do you you waste your time because more they are in second wave they will do more different type continue your life it's not against you know what they're looking for so it brought salvation to save people so we're now rescuing people bringing them it's like a house that is burning have you seen firefighters when they go to the house that is burning have you seen fatherhood will go to houses burning what are they doing they are dragging people out so god is not sending people to hell god is the one creating a channel for people not to go to hell so if they end up not accepting the call to salvation by default they have chosen to go to hell somebody getting what i'm saying so what do we need saving from we need saving from entire dimension we also need saving from the decay of this life this life is decaying there's sickness poverty all that going on here and he doesn't only want to save you in terms of going to heaven he also wants to save you from the challenges of this life somebody gets in this so that's why we need saving i'm trying not to waste too much time or spend too much time on because i have quite some things to come okay so if you are saved what are the few things that you we accompanied that you will know number one if you are saved you will know if you are saved you will know so let me ask you if you are here understanding my voice quickly let me ask you if you are under the sound of my voice and you are sure that if you die today now you will not die today in jesus name but if you are if you die today or this world ends today if you are hundred and hundred percent sure you will make heaven can i see your hand 100 sure you make heaven you are a hundred percent sure thank you thank you put your hand down if you did not raise your hand when i do the altar call today yeah i'm not joking i'm serious it's like a house is born and we can't be playing with people have to tell them that this house is born it's going to collapse they're going to burn inside it if you're here you're not sure when we do not go to please come out and give life to christ now you don't need to give your life to christ every week or every month that you feel you fell short of god's standard no if you do it once and you really believe you it's likely you will still make mistakes that doesn't mean your salvation is taken back is somebody getting what i'm saying however you will know if you are saved or not somebody can know for you you would know somebody how do i know very good romans chapter 8 verse 16. when i'm preaching to religious people this is how i help them know they are not saved because there's a difference between being involved in religion being born in a church having a christian name being baptized from when you're a baby there's a difference in all that and being born again i have to move fast god will help me romans 8 16 he said the spirit itself does what bears witness with what now for those of you that are not used to all these things you cannot just give me back the scripture my brother you can notice that the first spirit has capital letter s am i correct so that's referring to the spirit of god and if you notice the second spirit in that verse has small letter s that's referring to what your own spirit so what they are saying is that how do i know i'm born again very simple he said the holy spirit of god itself we bear witness that means it will confirm inside you inside your own spirit that you are what a child of god that's what i'm saying that you need you know you're gonna have as i'm here now if i die today and i'm not a perfect person no it's not it's not based on my works i'm not safe because i'm perfect you are never safe because of your works you are always you are only saved by the works of jesus christ because people think if i lied yesterday it means i'm normal born again no salvation is not something they are giving you are they are taking back as you behave if not the injury doing the transportation will be that no salvation is something that if you receive it you know you have it now you might still make mistakes but you're growing it's like when you that's why they call it born again you were born a second time so it's like your child when your child is born and it behaves like it's not your child does that stop him from being your child he's your child you'll be correcting his behavior as you're going but he's your child permanently but when you have salvation you know you can only lose your salvation in reverse of the way you received your salvation i didn't forget what i'm saying because i would understand this if for let me let me give you another example uh come just stand here if he is not born again and i pray with him romans 10 9 that we said believe in your heart confess your mind and become saved if he does something bad that is not i mean he didn't receive his salvation because he has perfect works he receives salvation because he believed and confessed i don't forget what i'm saying it wasn't that he went to clean up all his house delete all the girlfriends uh return of you that's not what made him saved i don't think that's what i'm saying if your works didn't make you saved works can make you unsaved and if somebody gets what i'm saying so i'm explaining salvation the simplest time it can be if you didn't become born again by your works you can't become unborn again by bad works your child in your house didn't become your child because he was sleeping and i said ah now i begin with this new so if he didn't become born again by good works bad works can make him unborn again if he didn't become saved by good works bad works can make him unsaved do you think i'll make him unsaved is the reverse of what made him saved if he believed and confessed that's what made him save then he has to denounce and not believe in jesus christ if somebody get what i'm saying thank you consider now i'm not i'm not talking about general believing in god everybody believes in god ibraheem say even demons believe there is god it doesn't mean they are born again did you bring that scripture quickly so everybody believes there's god that's not what i'm talking about i'm talking about you accept the work that jesus has done personally you accept now that he's your lord and savior so it's kind of different not just all of us have religious background it's different from what i'm saying let me show you something that was religious in scripture and still got born again acts chapter 16. i really have to move faster i have six points and i'm in point number one i'll rush the remaining acts chapter 16 from verse 13. so if you're here please and you didn't raise your hand that time i will do an altar call at the end where i will pray with you if you are if you are born again you even know the day you gave your life to christ you know something that you don't know even if you don't know the exact day maybe you just you know the month you know the year it's not something i say um hey hey it's like the way you have a birthday physically i imagine anybody say what's your birthday i don't know they bought me around that day civil war time what is that ah that is president what was that everybody knows the day they were born in the year one am i correct most people know that so that's how your salvation is unimportant it's more important than the day we're physically born somebody gets what i'm saying so that's something you will not know having a christian name abraham john whatever does it make you born again going to church when you were young does it make you born again being baptized as a baby or a small child doesn't make you when you don't know what you are doing doesn't make you born again those were religious rights religion does not save there are many religions in the world religion never saves it is jesus that saves religion doesn't save so you can be religious and still go to hell in fact many religious people will go to hell religion i was seen and this is not to despite any church it's just the fact i was in angelicon church another confirmation i did confirmation that means left to the church i was a christian but in terms of christ i was not a christian i would have gone to hell human confirmation come is not heaven's confirmation is somebody getting what i'm saying even my mom you know we were generally a christian home my dad was a knight in anglican church my mom was very committed in handking church that's why we did confirmation we with worldwide we did all those things i was still smoking in their hand i was not saved at all even her herself was not saved she was just practicing religion but today my mom that is almost how old are they number one how she is she's 70 something i don't know how old she's at i'm not good with numbers even my which i don't remember her she'll be in her 70s or something older man in the village she's stung talking today tongue talking hallelujah shouting bible caring gospel preaching so she knows the difference between when she was just kindness for religion then and now that she's born she herself knows the difference now because she's truly born again now all those times we're going to catch all that she was still once in a while going to all these people that see or the spiritualist many of your parents did those things and there are some mad people living in a church like this that still do those things you're a joke are you playing we have fire a plane we have fire still do all those charms it will catch fire if you carry it in your pocket one day to catch fire in the pocket if you carry it in your house one day to catch fire in that house but i'm going to repent and treat it now what was i saying before they annoyed me jerry what was i saying before because even women that do all these kayaking time all these things for the husband they say that hey it's my husband so that he will not go are you okay are you okay at all you're putting one hand in god one hand in satan you don't know the sign you're playing with you think he's a gentleman you think he understands english what was i reading about doing something so look at this guys he said on the sabbath this was the official day of worship am i correct on the sabbath we went out by city by riverside where what prayer sabbath prayer was wanted to be made they were about to pray he said we sat down and speak unto the women which were there next verse it says and a certain woman namely the self bubble cloth that which did what what does that say she did she worship god but you see she was religious she was not born again she was going to go to hell that i'm telling you you must know the difference that somebody's wearing white robe doesn't mean he's that somebody has a title doesn't mean it's saved that somebody goes to church doesn't mean it's saved you need to understand the difference guys when you are born again one of the ways you know is that you have that salvation you know if i die now i'm going to go to heaven if you're not sure they need to come out and if you don't understand it you need to attend the journey and believers class so they will teach you what this means and you can ask questions you can't be playing with your life it's too risky let's finish guys since she worshipped god she was in the place of prayer regularly she worshiped god said she heard us come and say she heard us she heard us whose heart what happened the lord her opponent she worshipped god she wanted you she was not born again she was going to go to hell he said um and the lord opened our hearts that she attended onto the things which were spoken of paul paul taught her and explained to her salvation was next verse he says and when she was what baptized he said and her household she besought us saying if you have judged me to favor the lord and all that so she she became born again even though she was a heavy practitioner of religion religion does not save anybody guys if you're born again you would know that's the first thing you would look clearly if you're born again you would know clearly number two second thing that will happen if you're born again hmm this one is very tough second thing that will happen if you are born again is that you will know jesus is the only way do you know there are many christians there are some there are many self-acclaimed born again christians that think that there are many way to god that means you don't even understand salvation you are probably not saved if you don't understand that's just the only way you are probably not saved probably not you're probably not born again it's not an experience you can confuse it's not a religious experience it's not that you are not going to church he's not going to church no that's not what salvation means you understand that jesus is not one of the ways he's the only way somebody said pastor so what of other religions sincerely i understand your concern but you see salvation is not by emotion it's not by concern of other people it doesn't work like that and somebody said pastor you know why we we christians believe that we are the only way but um so i saw religion also believe that the only way you're not be able to believe that the only way how do we know who is right good question again i like the questions you're asking i really like the questions you're asking that's a good question because if i say christianity is you know jesus the only way and the muslim says so and the buddhist says so and the whatever says so how do we know who is right and you know the bible says so but they don't have their own book that says so how do we know the book to believe how do you know who is right good question the difference is that i'm not telling you jesus is the only way just because it's written in the bible now he's reading the bible clearly john 14 6 did you bring it up i remember if you're a christian you can't have opinion or something called opinion these are the things you know whether you're born again or not if you're born again are you to have god has opinion that you ordinary you deputy god you to say i think what i think you are thinking do you know your do you know the mixture that used to create your brain is dusty it's sand and water the person that created it is talking then you send them water mixed you to your thinking god is thinking you are thinking you are talking as colleagues when you create your own universe come and tell us all about it create your universe come and tell us see tomorrow humans have not been to manufacturing that human being accepted with the way god said disciples god is talking you are talking so i have opinion see when they say you accept just the lord and savior take note you accept him as lord jesus our lord this lord means he's your god you have no opinion when your guy is talking he's not just your savior he's your lord so when jesus says something so what do you think about homosexuality eh me man personal opinion you have opinion let me join everyone again leave the place please you can't be in the presence of the king i have opinion that's what he said and if you have not accepted him it's okay like i said when you create your universe run it your own way but if you say you want to serve god though these are the tenets these are the principles he is lord he is lord of all he doesn't share position and if you forget what i'm saying sir because i'm so proud my own personal opinion anything that is written in scripture you can't have personal opinion again the scripture becomes your opinion that's what it means to be a christian you are a servant to the lord okay what was i saying before what was i talking about okay yes john he said jesus said unto him i am the way what truth and what the life he didn't say i am a way he said i am what the way the way the only way not part of the ways he says no man comment unto who but what if you don't understand this you're not saved you're probably not saved or you're just not growing spiritually you think all of us are going the same way there are many roads that lead to the market not this market not this one accept um i will tell you why i'm just reading scripture first i'll explain something acts chapter 4 verse 12 acts 4 verse 12. it says neither is there salvation in what any other for there is none other name underwear under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved so you can't say oh oh we respect that we respect them don't get me wrong but we need to also tell them the truth it's about responsibility say oh religion are the same what that means you're not saved probably don't know what you have or all religions say there are many ways to it now why why do i believe in this why don't i think their own book two israel let me tell you why very simple let me tell you why we are not preaching it just because it's written in the bible we are preaching it because of the things that happened in fact is the things that happen that make us read the bible i don't even know what i'm saying the bible is god's word don't get me wrong but we are not declaring this thing because he's reading the bible it's because the things happen that's why they wrote it in the bible i don't know if somebody's getting what i'm saying so it's not a battle of their book and our book oh i don't know if you understand if there was a battle of their book in our book truly it's a draw because they to have a book we need to have a book it was battle of book and book ah they have their own book and there are some people writing a new book on their own religion now if his book everybody has book it's not our claims it's not based on the book our claims are based on real things that happened that they wrote in the book even if you remove the book the things still happened and they can never lie that they had same experiences what are the experiences number one somebody was born supernaturally somebody was born without a man a virgin conceived nobody can claim that nonsense and listen if somebody say but they could have affected that time no they could not it's rules of there are many rumors that people have called themselves christ we are dead today those things were real things that happened there were real people then that saw the real thing somebody said you know people can ask fornication no i agree i agree totally so let's leave that let's move to the next step jesus was written about as even the way he would die was written about thousands of years before it happened go and check another religion they can never try that that can be faked can somebody 1000 years be planning with me here i will fake something tomorrow if you check bible prophecy they wrote how jesus would come they wrote how he would die thousands of years before he came when he still came in fact they prophesied he would die and how he would die and he will rise again when he also came he's the only man that claimed he lived without sin nobody let's imagine people they brag abby i know you know i'm not you know some very good liars and braggers you will never see someone sincerely and genuinely claim that he lived here without sin most of the other people you are seeing either the way prophet saw whatever they could have done whether divorced or married many wives or what they can't claim that they never said jesus the only one that has said he lived here yet without sin and nobody has come up because excuse me are you still me are you copying for school i slept with you nobody has done that let's leave that in case that doesn't impress you yet let's move forward he came and he prophesied he said he was going to die nobody has come that has predicted i would die and i will rise again okay let's even imagine who have said that when they died hey hey this is where the story begins to get complicated this is where the movie the soundtrack will change at this point in the movie because many of them have claimed they are the christ many of them have claimed they are the savior but how we know is that when they died hey hey when they died they died most of them we still have their burial ground some of them their whole religion is based around fisting the very ground of their prophets see tomorrow we can visit jesus by the ground [Music] hi you don't understand somebody came and said i'm going to die and on the thought you it is our resurrect one day he said on the third day i will resurrect and truly people went to check there were people walking to make sure he doesn't rise oh god read the stories and this couldn't be faked because the whole thing were real people forget his bible you can go to roman empire existed what they were writing then those stories existed in that point in time it wasn't something that somebody fabricated they were real stories do you know the cross before that time symbolized judgment and punishment the cross symbol it was something people were ashamed of if they said cross they were going to hang you on the cross it was very shameful that the romans were very tough i had that wicked and today in the same room the cross symbolizes christ and his death do you think even if you want to convince me you will you convince the roman empire to change their logo if it was not real it was real incidences real things that happened and the facts in history is there for you to go and confirm your brother it's not about the bible there were real stories that happened he said i would die on the third day i mean i would die after three days i will rise up nobody has said that that gave specifics of when i was down how arise and there were people consciously walking towards him not rising they put a big stone they got soldiers to make sure nobody comes carries their body so it was not it's not things you can fake and he rose again now now let me tell you he didn't just rise and only peter saw him no they said he rose and he's there and i was going about town i don't forget what i'm saying somebody everybody saw when he died he had to that's why this part of why you have to die publicly he didn't die by multiple accidents and only 10 people know should we show him that's why they hung him on the cross it was a public death you can't say you didn't see him dying he was it was insane life was i said i'm on youtube on facebook live everybody saw him dying not that he died in one bush we don't know it was a public death everybody confirmed that the guy died he doesn't like already hang somebody today if they hang somebody up we know he's dead there's nothing two ways about it and on the third day he rose and he was walking on the streets as he went to the place he normally buys booker food they saw him there they said we thought you died he said yes but i've risen these are real stories it's a real story go and bring another religion that claims that somebody died and bring them they can't even even to light the light you never get the mind to light the light and let me tell you as i move to the next point i'm eating too much time but let me get you aside let me tell you something as i said misunderstood the reason why he's dying and resurrecting his importance is because listen listen listen this will help you it's because the promise he gave us hey are you ready now the promise he gave us is that we too when we die hey hey hey hey you are not understanding somebody can promise you something they don't have can somebody that doesn't can't afford the car promise you to buy you a car you cannot send a wish now he had to die and resurrect to confirm to us that you when you die hey if you believe in me you two will do what rise again that's why we know we don't die that's our confidence if you know you will die and rise again that's not gonna fear you again hey somebody don't understand what i'm saying the reason the reason the unbeliever is afraid to die whether is a scientist at least whatever is the reason they are afraid to die is because they know that when they die they don't die we don't fear death because if we die we are going to rise again hallelujah for us dying is like sleeping is anybody afraid to sleep there's nothing there if i sleep for night i go wake up for money that's it that's it so how can you call that a religion that's not a religion in a religion can do curry biscuits carry it that's religion this is life i get what i'm saying we're not afraid to die that's the significance of his dying and resurrecting he's telling us that you guys have nothing to worry about you two cannot die you cannot die you will just sleep and wake up again hallelujah i said hallelujah i said hallelujah real life stories he died and rose again that's what we're saying so he's not religion so you must know jesus is the only way he's not one of the ways there's no other way that promises this everything that we even even religion when they promise heaven nobody has gone to confirm if it's true oh i don't know if you get what i'm saying other religions promise that there's one heaven none of them can confirm it they are all believing something they don't know our own somebody went and came back no he didn't stay for one day he didn't resurrect and they saw him for days dj can you find that truth for me they saw him for days walking around town so he's not there one weekend he was around for one day no he died and rose again i was walking about did you find it for me now i thought you'd have found it by now oh man so jesus is the only way nothing else can save look at this and as they don't speak just stood in the midst of them i said no i want to where they said he was walking he rose up and i was walking about town wow i was what they said the people saw him he actually walked around when you find it shall we show it but it's there are we getting it guys so when you're born again we're actually safe do you understand just the only way you know you're not going to harass other people you're not telling them they are oh they're joining rubbish that's not the point the point is that is the facts it's not a matter of opinion your opinion my opinion no it's a matter of facts these are real things and there are many other things i don't have time to go into but these things happen for real the king's pontius pilate was a person pontius pilate was not a fiction not cartoon if it was a lie they were lying on him he would come out and say he's alive i mean all these people they mentioned about human beings joseph mighty and nicodemus the commercial you see these are real people the pharisees they were already people if it was in life there would have been many books today that would be saying all those things the bible is like you can't see anyone rebooked that have survived that is a lie because those things really really really happened so it's not the bible really it's the events that they wrote in the bible the event is real and if you don't know the reason that the person has died and told us he was going to die not like that by accident mother john was telling me that their prophet or whatever died that's how did i say that by sickness i laugh ordinary sickness what would it cast out nine kill the person we found our religion and you want to believe that guy you want to trust that guy that sickness killed i wish you well number three dj i don't know why i can't find me you guys find that scripture like simple now eh is he actually one three they say when they say he was going about town people really saw him he said and came out of the graves after his resurrection and went into the holy city and appeared unto what many so he didn't only appeared to peter and paul uncle he appeared on too many this is why he's verified let me move strong wisdom number what am i hey today's thanksgiving service so i'll just do tutoring this happens i'll do that in the next service pain me i want to do the whole six number three if you are saved if you are truly saved you will repent from dead works you repent from a life of sin that's how we know you are saved if you're born again and you're just living exactly the same way you're living before you become born again my brother when i do what i call please just come out by yourself don't let us drag you if you were born again you would change do you know before i became born again i was and i was smoking indian hemp so definitely i was smoking cigarettes i was drinking alcohol i was visiting prostitutes i was carrying a pistol i was a thief i can go under none of all the sin i was committing you know when i gave my life to christ nobody needed to tell me that you know now that you are saved you can't be smoking weed nobody needs him nobody tell me now they are safe you can't drink bear again nobody told me i knew that if i was now born again i couldn't live the same old way but nowadays you see people that say they are born again no difference from their life from when they were born again and when they are not the difference that they go to church under any department department does not save church does not save it's a personal walk with jesus if nobody around you can tell i mean people close to you your friends family if they can't tell something has changed about you my dear when i do it i could come out if you're sitting look i i was a full bad boy before i got saved but by the time i got saved everybody around me knew i was saved those days when i entered snooker bar oh god we need to play snook i lost infested then when i entered snook now these guys and all the guys smoking we go outside to smoke they say they can't smoke inside there because i'm here they all go outside to smoke they will respect me now this applies to smoke wheat now they can't even smoke in my presence even though i'm not smoking with them that's how you know you are saved if all your friends are still comfortable discussing saying which is hey that gay i don't feel grand again you come and let's put blood on you again you are not saved if they are comfortable to discuss sin with you they are comfortable to carry on with you the same old way you can see hang out in the same barn drink the same alcohol you are not saved you are not saved yet nobody had to tell me nobody told me stop drinking nobody told me stop smoking nobody took i just knew that i can continue my own life i knew i was a sinner before and i knew now that i'm born again nobody told me some people said without the telling we're telling them they still hold their hennessy tight to their soul he better save you from hell if you can't save me from hey but i hold the person that can save you because hell is real how you hear somebody i said are you here somebody if you're born again your close your family too we know something has changed ah that john is no more the same way he used to be violence now he's calm this guy used to be talkative now she's self-controlled this guy is to carry women now you see him focused caring bible if the people close to you can share that testimony then you are not saved you are just going to church are you here somebody ephesians 4 i'm going to use the extra time you guys know because i have to finish my six it doesn't matter if she's four verse 22 to 24 nlt version nlt version nlt version dj fast he said throw off your old words sinful nature and your what your former way of life which is what corrupted by lust and deception next verse it says instead let the spirit do what renew your thoughts and attitude next verse he said put on what your new nature created what to be like god in what through righteousness and holiness come on guys number four quickly let me just look at if you are saved you will share the gospel it's automatic you see hey those of you that like food when you discover one place where they say badam i mean rice and and those books to you that are small but mighty that are very juicy and strong and they put boiled egg inside aya yaya yaya once you eat there what's the first thing you're gonna do you're gonna call your other foodie friend say oh boy i wanna take you go somewhere no worry tomorrow just come by 12. you get your ago you go but we get to go on time when something good happens to you you share it except it's not good if i let me say this when something great happens to you are all nigerians in canada people are sharing that that place better if it's something you can hide it's not it doesn't hit you that woman that was caught by the whale she had five husbands jesus met her and preached and she got saved the baptism she ran into the city and brought to the whole city one woman task force one woman evangelistic ministry she ran into the village they bring that scripture and she brought the whole village out say come and meet a man that told me everything about my life if you have really met christ you will preach preaching you don't never have no one versus the bible this woman didn't know about the bible said the man then left her water pot she left everything she was carrying she left her mundane walk she left her daily work some of you he says yo yo the day walk is what stops for everyone attending church she left her daily walk she and went her way into the city and said to the men she said to the men because she knows all the men next verse he said yes she had five was when he knows a lot of men come see a man who told me all the things that i ever did is not this the christ i don't know if next verse is connected then they went out of the city and came onto him she carried out the men of the city she went to preach some of you here you have never led someone to christ you have never brought someone to church i don't know if you are really saved if you really have this experience we have you will share from the day i got born again i began to pray to do i didn't know what i was going to say but it's an automatic impulse that comes on you when you receive christ when it's secret you share you can't keep your mouth shut you can't hide it you share even if you can share with the whole world you share with your close friends you share with your close family somebody in your house will get saved not i just say yeah i'm born again you're just hiding but you even had your bible understood ah i'm not sure you got anything yet it's the nigeria made one you got if you have the real thing you heaven and hell is real if you have family members that are not born again guys they are going to hell are you going to allow them go to hell they are going to help your family members close people you love your husband and wife children whatever they are not born again parents if they are not born again they are going to hell there's no two ways it's not on me that i said it's basic in scripture so you better start praying for them and start preaching to them pray for their heart to be open then preach to them number five quickly if you have really if you are really saved you will give you will give not just money you will give your time you will give your skill when people are really safe they give that's why i love the members of the workforce of this church there are people giving all the time [Applause] work for us god will bless you and god will honor you especially those children trust people those people that definitely have to sacrifice even being in the service they come every day just to serve other people when you really are saved you will serve you will give you give your time give your money give your resources give your skill you will give you will give what i've been waiting for to be paid you will give give your skill give your influence you know somebody somewhere that can help the child you will use you you will give it's automatic even when jesus was a baby when did when the wise men came what did they do they brought gifts it was a baby he didn't even need those things but you really can't appear before the king and not bring something that's why we bring an offering in every service that's why we bring our tithe no matter how much they want to shout about giving in church we will still give because christianity is automatic for us to give because who consent is based on giving god so loved the world that he gave you must give your money your time your resources if you sleep battling pain tight i don't know if you have experience of salvation i've never missed tithing from the day i got saved why why would i want to this god that saved me i was going to go to hell this god save me then i'm not the 10 percent i can't give him are we giving more than ten percent what is ten percent if you are really saved you will give see that woman called lydia after she got sick she constrained them to stay in a house i mean she wanted to give to them a minister to them say stay zachus when he got saved he told jesus i'm gonna return everything i took back i'll give back to society every time people really receive christ they give you are still battling pain tight ah my brother when i do it i call come out number six the last one under giving by the way under number five you know the early church they were known for that they used to give all their property all their properties they give that's what made underneath saphira want to join the bad dragon i also pledged their land people were given all their things everything we were bringing all their things to church and sharing are you here somewhere number six when you're born again you pursue spiritual growth you pursue what spiritual growth when you are really safe there every time church is open you want to be around you don't want to be anywhere else when church is open you don't want to just stay online you want to be amongst christians you want to be in service are you already saved you have a hunger for god's presence you
