yes this is a pentecostal church and we believe in the leading of the spirit of almighty god i'm talking about believing the leading of the holy ghost as we go forth for service praise god there are few things i really want to say to you but i talk to you after service when the announcements are coming but you know today god is still a good god [Music] the many things that forms the profile of the church of god and the people of the church of god i want you to know that is divinely directed i entered the [Music] pastoral ministry for the first time on the 1st of january 1995. i told you the story some time ago that i was appointed to a church in a district of saint james known as lilliput when i got there that sunday morning i saw a zinc enclosure that resembled a construction shed 25 by 25 zinc around all four forming all four walls and zinc on top on the floor we had the mile and the seats were rough two by four and some round wood those were the seats but that's where i started pastoral ministry i did not complain but i decided that if this is where the lord is leading me i know he's with me and i'm going to go without a murmur and his footsteps are going to follow me i found 25 persons on role as members of that church 25 but the work of the lord must go on and we started there i want you to know that on the 1st of april that same year we started the foundation for a brand new building i got there january and at april we were breaking ground for a new building by faith and today that building is completed it's as loud almost as large as this church all because somebody believed god [Applause] but the story did not end there in 1997 reverend henry fernandez gave a tent 140 feet by 70 feet to the new testament church of god and our bishop then decided that they want to bring that tent to lilliput two years afterwards and that's where things got going the crusade was planned for two weeks it went for one month he could not finish and out of that the lord starts to multiply the membership at lillyport when i left lilliput at the end of december 2005 there were 225 members on role at lilliput starting from 25 the lord added 200 over the period of time i want to say to you that a fragment of that 225 is visiting lynn state today [Applause] five out of the 225 they are here today can i ask you to stand please praise god that lady over there sister norma clark she was my first clerk at church she served and served and served well until she has returned these are you were i was i baptize you you were baptized by me stand stand sister york sister allen was there when i got there and i know that you have always been a part of the church there but i want to let you know brothers and sisters that god is still in the saving business amen i'm sure you would mind and please i'm taking some of my preaching time here now don't worry i'm sure you won't mind if i sing loud this one here this one step forward sister york step forward for me please i'm sure praise god turn around to the congregation i remember the night at the 10th crusade 1997 february when we wrestled the hell to plunge her out of hell to pluck her out of hell the enemy had her boned chained strapped on kneeled on tied on glued on but we decided that night that she it is no secret what god can do what he has done for sister nerva alan york he can do it for you and don't don't don't don't don't rush me now but just bear with me because i'm going somewhere service may be a little bit different today but take it as it comes amen amen i didn't invite them here but they decided they want to come and surprise me today so i was out of my mind when i saw them walking in but this sister here when she finally surrendered that night when we finally used some spiritual welding torch i'm burning off some chin when we were able to use some spiritual sledgehammer hello to lick off all the the reinforcement that the enemy had around her talk to me church of god hallelujah if you have never been there you wouldn't understand what i'm talking about but she was freed she was free at the time and i know she wouldn't mind she don't mind me telling you this at the time she was living with a rasta man so you know that there was another stronghold are you understanding with me but from before she left the tent she started to believe god that he was going to do something in that relationship can i talk can i talk to you church of god hallelujah this lady started believing god because in her mind homie go and go home to my roster boyfriend wanna go and tell him say when when do so she said when she got home she said to him p tonight i gave my heart to the lord and i want to serve god but i i am respectful of you being in my life for all these years and without without another word her boyfriend or rastaman boyfriend said to her guess what you can stay in this room packing up meetings and going in the other room i'm going to give you your space who could it be but god hallelujah when you take one step god is going to take you down the other road and he's going to see you through hallelujah to cut a long story short long after the rastaman

to say thanks to you you have continued to be our help in ages past and you will be our hope for years to come so now we surrender ourselves to you as we draw nigh oh for a word from the throne of grace we ask now that you will speak to us lord just speak to us that's all we want you to do it is nothing lord that we there is nothing that we can do but we know that you can do everything and so do it now in the name of jesus it is only by your inspiring power that your words will leave from these pages and go into the hearts of your children and transform lives for your kingdom so bless and preserve now as we look to you and tell your thanks in jesus name and the people of god say people of god say praise god god bless you may be seated i am recognizing all those who are present with us today starting with our officers our praise team our musicians all of you god's wonderful people ah and we want to just recognize those who are joining us on the world wide web you have done well to be with us today and we are certain that as you come and join this service that the lord has already started to grant you blessings and i say to you remain right where you are because there is still a little bit more to come that you don't want to lose so welcome one all welcome welcome welcome good to have you uh joining us today and we are in for a treat through the inspiration of the holy spirit of almighty god amen my brothers and sisters today is a another blessed day because it's being recognized as national baptism day so according to the instructions from the national office our administrative bishop and dr roy noticed is that we should in all churches throughout jamaica be having baptism today and we here will not be left out we will be having baptism we had baptism one month ago and i promised you that we'll be having another baptism and god has honored us to the extent that yes we are going to have a baptism today but let me tell you from now that for today we will not be going to bogwork river what we'll be staying right here in this sanctuary but that is something that you will see later on praise god it's going to happen right here now at the beginning of this month the lord dealt with me in a particular way and laid something on my heart to share with the believers here at commodore yes it's after 11 now i'm gonna try my very best to do what i have to do within a particular time but it's very difficult but let us do what we can with the help of the lord at the beginning of the month i said to you that we we need as a people of god to operate on a mandate and there is a mandate that has been given to every believer we spoke about the christians mandate we spoke about the christians mandate and the essence of this mandate is that it gives a authoritative command from your superior a mandate is an authoritative command from your superior so your superior would have given instructions and those who are receiving those instructions are expected to carry out those instructions because you are under command you are under authority amen amen when when jesus had the confrontation with the the centurion he said to jesus to help us to understand what the mandate means he said to jesus i am a man of authority i have at least a hundred soldiers under my command and when i say to one go he going and i say to another come he commit they are operating under a mandate and to disobey the mandate you're going to pay the consequences of that and so he said although i have that authority you jesus have more authority than i have and so my little situation that i'm confronted with i know that you lord can speak the word oh hallelujah and it must be done because you're a man of authority glory to god so we are under authority from almighty god do you know the church of god amen and the authority that has been given to us and i said to early on that you could look back at the passage which is colossians colossians chapter 3 from verses 1 through to seven and there are background scriptures to it but because of of time limitation i will just press ahead into part two of what the lord has laid on my heart you will remember that as we looked at chapter 3 verses 5 to 7 it gave us some instructions on that first sunday of this month he says we should mortify your members which are upon the earth fornication uncleanness inordinate affection evil concupiscence and conviciousness which is idolatry for which things said the wrath of god cometh on the children of disobedience and so it ended at verse 7 it says in the witch ye also walk sometime when he lived in them so it points to the fact that these that have been listed here in verses 5 down we have passed that stage and we are now in a new phase of our spiritual dispensation and so therefore we must continue to remain alive in christ but we must be dead to sin hallelujah those are the mandates that have been given to every child of god we must become alive in christ but we must be dead to sin praise god my brothers and sisters verses 8 down to verse 17 will be our verses for consideration as a follow-up to that would happen before because one of the things we remember is that the church at colossia it was very close to one of those churches that was already moving away from faith in god they were in a neighboring community and so therefore the influence from one church was creeping into the other church as a matter of fact when we look at the background for the church at colossia it says to us that paul was writing to the church to fortify them against mixing gentile philosophy with their christian principles can i tell your brothers and sisters that it was a mixture of judaism and some early form of of gnosticism which thought that jesus was not who he proclaimed to be bible student is here in as far as they were concerned they saw jesus as a superhuman but not truly god they saw him that he was greater than other human being but he was not the savior and so paul had to write to this young church in colossia and to say to them guess what christ is a preeminent god he was before he is now and he will be hallelujah and so as he got that foundation straightened out he now has to turn to help them to start to reconfigure their christian thinking and so he said to them in very clear terms as he is prescribed before us that great doctrines that you have will make great daily living what he was saying to them is that that which you have received hold fast to it because you're going to need it when the time comes it is not enough merely to agree to a doctrine but rather we must translate those beliefs into our lives what i'm simply saying here brothers and sisters is the fact that whatever causes you to have that divine conviction that jesus christ is lord hold fast to that because according to scripture paul writing to timothy says that in the latter days they are going to be drifting from the faith they are going to be giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils but my brothers and sisters when you have a good go-ho a good dose of the holy ghost that is holding your soul and causing you to even grab a little title to almighty god when the times of shifting comes you're going to hold fast to that which you have brother [Music] so paul was writing to the church at colossia and he said to them listen me there is only one redemption and it comes through jesus christ and the shedding of his blood verses 13 and 14. you will find that in chapter one he also said to them that the preeminence of christ is no figment of man's imagination read chapter 1 verses 15 to 19 and so paul was using the opportunity to build up the colossian church in the faith of almighty god and so when he when he gets to to to chapter three and reach verse eight you start to say some things to them that let you feel as if either you are getting you are getting dressed to go out or you are going to take off that which you have because it is important that as believers and this morning sister brown is here since the garden is here to be baptized did i get it right mr god yes that i want us to understand that as we walk along the christian journey many things may come to buffet our way but we have to have a decided mind we have to say like the songwriter my mind's made up hallelujah and i won't turn back because i want to see my jesus someday and so he started to speak to the church like i'm talking to to commodore this morning to put off some attitudes no attitudes just seem to overtake us along the way many times some attitudes some attitudes that are not right and i as long as i'm here i'm going to talk about it because i must get the church rapture ready amen i told you when i came here oh in 2020 i have just one mission and that is to get the church rapture ready and to rescue the perishing and care for the dying and so therefore i want us to maintain our focus and paul says if you are going to achieve all of this because guess what i know i can't do it alone but together we are going to do it and so we must be ready to move in a particular direction verses 8 and 9 says but now he also put off all these things what are the things we're going to put up we're going to put off anger and wrath a church of god we must get rid of these things for for they they have sinful connotations and they will disqualify us for heaven we if we want to live a healthy christian life then we are going to have to shed some of these things verse 8 says anger wrath malice blasphemy feel the communication out of your mouth my god it seemed like paul was cleansing the church paul was making sure that anything that ought not to be there by the power of almighty god it is rooted out and cast out and never to return because paul was saying anger and wrath these are destructive to those we love and i looked up the meaning of anger anger means that it is hot displeasure it is getting into a ridge so listen to me church of god don't tell me that i saw your granny when ignorant and love get begs fast that don't help you today hello somebody that was your grandmother and your grandmother's style but listen when we come into our relationship with god the bible said all things are passed away and behold all things have become new hallelujah because anger and wrath is going to cause destruction in your relationship with others we cannot win people to christ by demonstrating anger and wrath that's not going to go down too nicely amen i am saying to us that once we come into a relationship with god we must be prepared to put all those things at the foot of the cross and leave them there the power of the blood of jesus christ he's able to run some you and i from anger and wrath but just in case that doesn't apply to you what about malice what about malice a scripture meta hacking you know a verse eight we're talking malice malice can i pause here for a minute and talk about malice in church not going to go down very well but listen my brothers and sisters i have heard persons not here elsewhere who are supposed to be believers and they are saying as they speak of their own church brother and sister that not until they hammer over my head i don't know if you know what that means i will never forgive such an individual and so you have a malice until it eats you out like cancer hello somebody brother brown this may not be too nice going down this sunday morning but believe you me scripture speaks against it and if scripture speak against it this pasta go and preach against it amen we must live loving we must live with one another because malice harbours grudgefulness and dwells deep in the hearts of people talk to me church of god grudge fullness breeds malice and malice bridge god fullness and i'm saying to the believing people of god here today that malice's ill will it is the desire to do harm a wicked future hello somebody i am saying to god's people environments and strife move it out to your system and let the holy ghost get a free reign to reign in your heart because he will not occupy with anger malice and jealousy and pride those things are works of darkness and i say to you that we are supposed to be children of the light and no darkness can stay in the presence of light but i believe with all my heart that the people of god is going to rise up and we are going to get to a new level so that we will be able to eradicate the darkness that is out there and to spread some love spread some joy spread some light that jesus christ alone gives oh god um wow i sound a little distasteful malice harbours grudges and dwells on them today as you are here think carefully is there somebody out there or somebody in here that i have not exercised my christian virtues to is there somebody that i find it difficult oh god help me today so much so i don't even want to be in that person's company i don't want to go near that one day are you brother and sister you're talking about you know i won't have anything to do with them people there and let me let me clear something here i told you from the first week that i had prepared what the lord laid on my heart and a sister called me after i was through that was about after 10 and i said to her i am preaching at church tomorrow and the discussion you have just had with me remember say my message was prepared before you call me i say that again today because i want to declare to you i don't depend on persons to come to me to tell me anything for me to formulate a message to preach according to what i hear that's not my style i've never done it and under god i will never do it but one thing i promise you is that when god give me a word i'd prefer to please god than to displease him i prefer to please god than to please man so when the lord speaks to me i am going to be the mouth and the voice of god speaking in the wilderness of these changing times and to tell people line up with master god [Music] hallelujah my lord oh this is a tough one to swallow today but [Music] swallow anyhow paul writing to the church in colossia can you imagine that this was the servant of god writing to the church in colossia trying to clean up some of the mess that was in the church and then oh god put it by my heart if you come talk to commodore paul says blasphemy should not be named among us blasphemy is to speak with profanity your your argument no not line up with the word of god profanity everything you speak of it is something distasteful the the the the the company you keep is questionable hello hello church of god we are making ourselves rapture ready and paul went down a little further because it's as if i i cannot pick all of these two pieces as i would want to but let me let me get on that you understand filthy communication stains our public testimony hello you know what a steering is i was cutting a planting at my place there a few days ago and i had on a shirt and i said no i can't load the shirt to be stained up so i was so very careful because i don't want the stain to get onto the shirt because i know all these things oh my wife give me judgement come stand up close and so i was very careful my brothers and sisters feel the communication out of the mouth of the child of god is steering it's like stealing filthy communist stains our public testimony what am i saying here work with me you cannot come to church and with one side of our mouths we are praising god and we are jumping and having a good time and by the time we are through here and we get back into our communities and get back into lynn steed and to get back wherever then the argument just changed all of a sudden it cannot be because the bible tells us that it is out of the abundance of the heart that the mouth is going to speak so whatever is in the heart it is going to come out and i say to you let us get the word of god deep down in our heart so that when we speak scripture says that it is seasoned with grace glorifying almighty god hallelujah so paul was helping to clean up the church he said get rid of filthy communication which steering up your testimony and then he said something here verse nine he said lie not one to another now i hear somebody say some time ago not here a trick from the devil he is the author of lies he's the father of allah scripture tell you that and so therefore when you lie you are of the devil scripture so therefore paul writing to the church said lie not one to another lie not one to another listen me my brothers and sisters this may seem hard but can i tell you that lie makes us unlike god why do i say that because god is truth god is truth so when we speak a lie according to scripture lie is of the devil he is a father of it and so therefore if we allow ourselves then we are going to get into trouble so speak the truth from primary school and speak it ever i don't have to do these memory jams again speak the truth and speak it ever cause it what it will he who who hides the wrong he did does the wrong thing still amen so my brothers and sisters i look up the word lie we know people do use it very often but lie is to make intentional false statement so it's an intentional false statement so you say it because you want to cover up you say because you want to get away you're sad because you think that the next person don't know that you're lying and so you give them something and keep moving listen me brothers and sisters it is wrong amen it is to speak falsely with intention to deceive it can i repeat that it is to speak falsely with intention to deceive and we have it in scripture in the book of acts with ananias and sapphira they concocted a wonderful story hello hello you know read it and the bible tells us that when when when one give his report him drop dead cm time and the other one came on not knowing what happened was ask the same question and give this here an answer because before that both of them concocted the story that this is what we are going to say but little did they know that the holy ghost was at work the holy ghost was a sharp shooter and this is that was not in the time of grace so right away judgment fall upon them because they lied peter said you don't lie to me talk to me church of god but you lied to the holy ghost and you never have to do it because it's your property you could do what you want to do it but then why you allow the devil to enter into your heart to do all of this so therefore to see him did what she did you're going dead too amen my brothers and sisters i am saying to us this afternoon as i try to wrap this thing up let us make sure that whatever we do we please god so those are the things that we should put off that's what scripture says you know put up verse 8 no he also put off all these things and when he get to verse 10 he said guess what we're going to tell you some things to put on hi hello because you see what happened i like that out there you're getting a you're getting rid of the old man and you're starting a new journey with god talk to me church of god you are starting in a new direction you are starting with new company you are starting with god the father god the son and god the holy spirit and so he says in verse 10 now put on the new man which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created you [Music] read it it's right before you said there's going to be a change you're going to be a change until verse 12 he said put on therefore as the elect of god as the special people of god as those chosen by god to be my representatives as those who are going to stand in the gap and allow others to come to know me as lord he says put on therefore as the elect of god as the special people of god he says you must be what holy and beloved wow wow we are going to put on these things which will make us like christ we are going to put on the new man i quoted to you early on that whosoever be in christ according to second corinthians 5 17. he's a new creature all things are passed away and behold all things are become new so the new man is going to grow in the image of christ amen according to verse 10 the new man is going to grow in the image of christ we are going to put on holiness which mirrors the integrity of god according to verse 12. talk to me church of god we are going to exercise mercy and kindness which demonstrates the grace of almighty god we are going to put on humility which makes us christ-like oh god i like this outfit i like this outfit i feel like i'm putting them on piece by piece and i'm saying to the people of god get dressed for almighty god put on the new man and step out in faith in your god because you're a new man you're a new woman now because you are dressed according to the instructions of almighty god and he says you know what happened even when you have all of the above you must have some meekness which overcome pride and arrogance jesus help me this afternoon amen my brothers and sisters and if that is not enough we must have some patience which shows consideration for others hello hey church of god this to me is like the whole armor of god that he said we should put on and i'm saying let us put on that which god has has commanded us my brothers and sisters forbearance and forgiveness which break down all barriers according to verse 13. my brothers and sisters all of these qualities brings us closer to the heart of god all of these things will qualify us for heaven all of these things will allow us to feel as if we have the savior with us so when you step out in the morning you step out with some holiness when you walk down the streets a lin street you are exercising some mercy and kindness and when somebody oh tries to discredit you you give up you give that person some humility but just in case somebody think that you are weak no it's not weakness but it's meekness and meekness is strength under control because you could have done something differently you could have seen something else but because of the meek spirit that controls your emotions you are able to look at that situation and says all of that is in my past because i am a new creation i'm a new man now look at me i am well dressed for the kingdom because i have meekness i have patience i have forbearance and i am forgiving and so therefore god will be well pleased with me oh god my brothers and sisters i i must be closing we have gone way past but the final thing in verse 14 paul said to the church in colossia he said above all those things that you have put on already he says put on charity put on love which is the bond of perfectness put on love which is the bond of perfectness my brothers and sisters i spoke to you about loving one another caring for one another looking out for one another we must be a community of faith wherein all of us are connected by the blood of jesus christ and our hearts are washed by the blood of jesus and so therefore there is no easy man any schism as the scripture speaks about but rather we are able to face the altar of god boldly and said god i come to you i have put off all of the old man i am now adorned in the in the new man and so therefore i am here because i want you to use me to the honor and glory of your name i want you to be proud of me lord and so as you kneel before him you could say to him oh wash me and make me pure because i want to be a child of the most high god i have i have put out the whole man and i am embracing the new man and all i need is your strength to carry me through hallelujah hallelujah and so that love that love it reveals a close walk with god when there is love among the believers it tells me the believers are having a close walk with god hello when when when there is love then it holds a family together even in tough times and may i say this to you love holds churches together and makes outreach possible love holds churches together and makes outreach possible why do i say that if persons on the outside they are looking in and they cannot see love at work in the church then what is going to say to them let me come out at that and come in at this because they don't see anything attractive love is attractive hello and every one of us wants to be loved amen love produces unity among believers every word that we speak should be clothed with love because there is love within our hearts and so today my brothers and sisters i know it's been a long day but i want us to understand that even as we seek to be alive in christ we must be dead to sin today i know you have marked this passage are you going to go home and read it again colossians chapter from 1 to to from chapter one all the way to chapter three read it it can only help all of us and so as i close today i want to say to us let us continue to love like how jesus loves us amen sometime it may be difficult but we can still do it because with god all things are possible if we have a maid of mind that this is what we want it will happen i trust and i believe that as of today we will be doing some self-examination and we will do what is necessary to match up with god's word there are some things we are going to take off and some things that we must put on go back and read it colossians chapter 3 it will speak to you again bow your heads with me please there's a song which said search me o god i know my heart today try me o savior know my heart i pray see if there be you know that one some wicked ways cleanse me from every sin and set me free come on just do that for me once or twice [Music] praise god [Music] know my heart [Applause] [Music] [Applause] praise god some wicked [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] father we come to you today again giving you thanks and praise for this great opportunity to have expounded your words to the hearts of your children thank you for the way you have conducted this service today it has spoken to every one of us and lord we are confident that even as we have come to that point in time where we are saying lord i'm stripping myself of the negatives and i am putting on the positives we just want to live for you and to represent you in this life let your presence rest upon us

but i was telling you something on the side of the road we saw a young lady almost on her knees crying crying crying crying and there was a man over her you know what was happening you figure that out
