Online Worship Exp. Sabb., June 27, 2020 ll "Covered by Grace Connected in Hope" || Morning Session

first of all convicting us then teaching us the way and giving us the power to do his will so no matter how smart we are it's not about us not about to have the desire the basic desire to do good is an act of God and then total Abay the word we also need his strength no elder decree do we I think we would all agree and those who are in the building and those who are watching would agree that we have a supreme example in the man Christ Jesus most definitely no no how can we what can ho and what can we learn from the example of Jesus or the examples of Jesus well there are a number of things even as we look at this whole subject by as living by the Word of God I have observed something read the Bible writers even as we we come to Jesus that the Bible writers are the particular motives they did not just seek to know the Word of God for knowing sick but they sought to know the Word of God to know the will of God so that they may be able to live to do the things that pleases the Lord and it is important that we have the proper motive for knowing God's Word and in the life of Jesus Christ we have seen the perfect example Jesus did of course he lived by the Word of God he continually quoted from Scripture he set the example he knew the scripture by heart so that when he was challenged when temptations faced him as of course in the wilderness we know he was able when he was approached by the enemy and in a manner that would easily trick any individuals if thou be the Son of God first that question the status is divinity his relationship with the Lord if thou be the Son of God take these stones and turn them into bread at a point when he had fasted 40 days 40 nights his being was emaciated he was physically weak but thank God because he knew the word he was spiritually strong he directly referred to scripture it is written man shall live not by bread alone but certainly by the Word of God and in the subsequent two examples as Satan approached him he quoted from the Old Testament he consistently quoted and referred to the Word of God and that ought to be an example to us that we must not only know the word academically yes we must rehearse it it must be a part of our lives and we must have it ready to respond when temptations come upon us well said so it is important for us to understand that he knew the word and this was not merely by his divinity but he as a person here he spent a time in his study to study the word hence it took place and took hold of his own life and hence he was able to respond but he also said reflecting on the scripture that the enemy knows the scripture definitely therefore it is an indication to us that people in our time can corrupt can say it is written yes giving their own spin on it definitely and that's that's that's that's quite that that point is made obvious even in the third example we recorded from Psalms but he twisted it a little bit yes right he says cast yourself off because it is written the Lord shall give his angels charge over thee and shall keep thee but he twisted it a little bit he left out something he did not say shall keep thee in all thy ways therefore it means because what the Word of God is saying to us is that we can be confident that the Lord will keep us trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean our on to thine own understanding in all their ways acknowledge him he will direct it so accept we are walking in harmony with the Lord's will we can't be confident that the Lord will be there now no no pastor there's a strange subtitle here that I'd like us to look at very quickly is there any kind of antagonism between Jesus and the Scriptures Jesus verse scripture well certainly there is no antagonism between Jesus and the scripture as a matter of fact jesus said to his hearers Moses wrote about me daily and if and if you were reading Moses is writing writing and understanding him well you will know that I am the person he wrote about yes yes and Jesus constantly affirmed the Old Testament Scriptures right he often quoted from it and he he said it is written as a matter of fact Jesus came to magnify us and to make the scriptures honorable as we are told by Isaiah chapter 42 verse 21 he came to magnify Jesus came to fulfill what was written there so there is no dichotomy there is no antagonism with between Jesus and the scriptures he affirmed the scriptures he quoted the scriptures and he rightly interpreted what the Scriptures taught yes and he revealed in greater meaning what the scripture really is talking about so there is no there's no variance between the written word and the Living Word most definitely not so as far as Tucson linhas has pointed out because many have referred of quoted examples for example in Matthew chapter 5 where Christ says it was said by them of all time I see unto you some use that to suggest that there is antagonism but certainly what Christ is doing is really magnifying the world is really giving it its rightful place whilst those others would have misinterpreted and misaligned and misconstrued the word he has placed it in the right perspective by declaring I say unto you love your enemies for example we are the time is moving but i jealous certainly we can't skip this one speaks about quiet time with the Word of God if you don't you know especially in these times especially in these times where there is a moving away from the say the Lord you know the lesson this week is important couraging us to spend quiet times quality time with the word what are some of the benefits of that either if you can connect yes well sir certainly there are significant benefits to be read from that especially in a time of kovat 19 especially in a time of of stresses because we find comfort in the Word of God we find instruction we find encouragement we find inspiration we find motivation in the Word of God and amidst the temptations and the stresses and the presses of life by spending quiet time in the Word of God we grow closer to him our relationship with him deepens our faith increases and therefore we are able to face in a triumphant way the challenges of this time and here is here is pastor elder here here is a an instruction that the lesson would not want us to to forget that having gone through this lesson we need to have a fixed time and it speaks preferably early in the morning where the brain is fresh when it's not yet fatigued by the mundane things of the world secondly a place select a place a place that is not in the surrounded by that then and the confusions and where we can be focused on the Word of God and so for me this is the special call that this particular aspect of the lesson is saying that we must dedicate time and place quality time to make sure that we can focus on the Word of God time alone with God if you don't mind we should not forget what some 119:105 says thy word to my path that's right and and Peter says we're living in a in a perverse and crooked world yes so there is so much darkness so much errors so many things that are there to divert our minds from righteousness and so we need time in the Word of God and Jesus himself spent time with his father in mark 1:35 the Bible says rising up a great while before the Stars he went out into a solitary place and prayed yes and so we need time for prayer and we need time for the study of the word of God so that he can speak to our hearts and we can really receive spiritual power and if I may add to that mystery but just to say that we have to be deliberate and purposeful about setting that time and please making time why because life is so busy so many stresses and all of us are impacted so we must be deliberate we must make the time to spend time with the Lord in his word yes the Sammis also said as you said I would have I hid in my heart that I've sinned against thee there are ways in which their word can be impressed in our hearts and our minds and one of the best ways is through song through saw through song I'm gonna give you a quick challenge quick challenge see if you can tell me where if you can identify from these tombs I shall be pleased if you can identify we're in the Bible you can find it this song just tell me where if you're in the house you can show this out if you are online you can type it in so that we can know mr. mission let's let's play in here see if the person can identify we just have a minute can anybody see where that is thinking from all right we'll stop they will stop there that is that is the Sun which one all right if you're out there online you can type it in and they'll they'll let me know quickly who was the first to respond to that one the next next one was division we are talking about the world being pressed through music [Music] you know that one and that is some 121 I heard it to hurt and so Ellis there are some others but the time is far far gone there are some others that that are the mission has but we will not go with them today music popular music today and I have to make this point has moved away from lifting the words from the scriptures and are we are now using human experiences and so we are losing a critical way of cementing the words of God on our minds and maybe it is a time to use the next 15 seconds that I have to ask our members let's go back to the world and let's start using the Bible as the basis for the writing of songs so that through music the Word of God can be impressed on our house I pray that by God's grace his word will find deep lodging in our hearts and that all our days will be guided by his word may the Lord bless me bless you as we all continue to worship you we thank pastor Vincent rose and his team for that lesson

Hutchinson for those beautiful words of introduction and the vanakkam for the wonderful song the sermon that for today is entitled amidst the crisis stay connected let us pray they are Heavenly Father we thank you for the opportunity we have to worship you in many different ways please guide and protect us throughout the service in Jesus name Amen if you should go through your Bible you will find countless stories of men and women who stood firm for Christ amidst persecution illness and adversity I am talking about men like Shadrach Meshach Abednego Abraham job Daniel Esther and Stephen but today I will be talking about one of my favorite Bible characters job you see according to according to job 1 he was a wealthy man in the east he owned sheep donkeys camels oxen and had a very large household but apart from being wealthy he was blameless upright fear God and hated evil if you should examine the story carefully you will realize that by the time you get to verse 12 of job 1 the story takes a dramatic turn job loses everything in one day all his possessions servants children gone and to make matters worse his wife told him to curse God and die and then his health was attacked and I guess the famous proverb is true when it rains it pours heavily but let's not dwell too much on the fact that job faced a trial because without a trial there cannot be a testimony one of the important truths I want us to understand it that job was in contact with the Savior before he was he expressed the testing and that's the reason he was able to say naked I came from my mother's womb and naked shall I return there the light gave and the light has taken away blessed be the name of the light amidst the crisis job stay connected James 1 verse 2 says we should consider it all joy when we endured trials of various kinds the trials we face today are not random but allowed by God to remove the impurities from our characters first Peter 1 verse 67 it is so sweet to know that after we are faithful and the other trials we can anticipate eternal rewards job and you had said fully and God bless his latter days better than its beginning the Lord wants to do the same for us but we must stay connected in clothing amidst the crisis stand up for Christ and when everyone else is standing of ensure that you stand out and when the crowd is standing out be outstanding because Jam 1 verse 12 remind us that blessed is the man who remain steadfast under trial for when he has to the test he will receive the crown of life which God has promised to those who love him our tribulations in this life are difficult yet only temporary boys and girls adults stay connected amidst the crisis Jesus is coming soon and as we stay connected let us just trust God to know that he will see us through let us pray Father which art in heaven and I just want to thank you for the love your mercy towards us thank you for the boys and girls help them that they too will stay connected help them to just hold onto your hands help them that they will walk with you and talk with you help them not to lie not to steal have them to do the things that are pleasing in your sight because we know you want them to have a place in your kingdom be with the parents as well help them so that they will be feared to them they will not overwork the one who is always willing but that those the ones are lazy that they will give them work to do so that they can change their mindset bless for someone keep us in Jesus name I pray amen indeed I was truly blessed so all those watching on Facebook YouTube wccn

this morning now this morning we have the last of the lessons for this quarter a tremendous journey this has been gender for yeah right and so we want you to get your Bible ready turn to the book of Matthew yes to six verses 19 through 34 is our focus area and our focus for today CQ first are simply put priorities but just before we go into the lesson we're gonna invite Daniel to see a special prayer for us at this time before you once more Lord we want to thank you first for the gift of the Sabbath as we go now into our study we ask that you will lend on to us your holy spirits may this

that the YouTube chat is on send your comments your questions and we will respond as best we also have persons who will also monitor for us as we go through the study and so we wanted to share in this beautiful passage with us this morning so we'll invite Latoya to begin to share with us from the book of Matthew chapter 6 verse 19 go ahead of yourselves treasures upon earth where moth and rust doth corrupt and where thieves break through and steal but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt and where thieves do not break through nor steal for where your treasure is there will your heart be also the light of the body is the eye if therefore thine eye be single thy whole body shall be full of light but is thine eye be evil thy whole body shall be full of darkness if therefore the light that is in thee be darkness how great is that darkness wherefore if God so clothe the grass of the field which today is and tomorrow is cast into the oven shall he much more clothe thee O ye of little faith verse 31 therefore take no Thought saying where shall we eat or what shall we drink or wherewithal shall we be clothed after all these things the Gentiles seek for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things but seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you take therefore no thought for the morrow for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof so our for concern for today in context of our intro is what it calls central and peripheral vision no Daniel you are the body in dr. Moniz could you share with our beloved friends what this is all about all right so I love that they open with lesson pastor with the principle of central and peripheral vision and how this works is that when one focus is on an object right everything in the periphery seems a little bit fuzzy and it's the same thing or it should be the it is the same principle as it released our spiritual lives our lives on a whole crisis I used to be the center of focus of our lives and then he will adjust the periphery so when we realize this principle Paso and when we realize this will we will it will be that we will learn to love a love as God loves we will his work will become our work and to the prophets holy spirit his character will be revealed in us and this is when those peripheral issues our priorities will be aligned with the will of God so basically Daniel you're saying that we must know what our priorities are right beautiful no Latoya we we looked at also making Jesus first how did you find this this week well pastor and viewers I found this specific item on the list and making Jesus first very interesting I mean there are so many things that can sidetrack us from the will of God and I know many of us we do prior to prioritize so many different things like our businesses I mean acquiring our home and our car I mean finding us pose garnered tertiary education saving so many things do move us away from focusing solely on God and I mean the lesson it did bring out three things that we do need and of course we do need food we need clothing we need shelter but there are things that do remove this from us and the lessons book about rust and moths and thieves that we as we just read in the Bible itself and the rust it is things that listen if the value of the things we have the moth they destroy their natural entities that destroy the things we have and of course the thieves they're human individuals or organizations that do the same now I wanted us to look at the context in modern-day what things do we could we say our rusts and of course I said that the economy would be one like we are going for that money that paper as young people would allude to it and of course we realize that the value is the money is being devalued so of course we see the rust right then and there the month it could be alluded to illnesses at present kovat nineteen and other disasters like earthquakes that has been plaguing the land and of course the thieves I would allude to that as or bills and or you know unforeseen expenses so we see here that we do have things that do remove us from focusing on Christ solely very good so you you're basically saying Latoya that there are some things that if we place planet on them we can end up lose our focus so it shows in Christ now not only is the important Jaffar and your name means little stream right now making Jesus last why is that important so far so I found this aspect of the lesson to be very interesting know when persons usually prioritized we're told to put the most important thing first and the least important thing loss so when I heard making Jesus last under this context I was quite baffled but then the lesson brought about an analogy you're you're filling a glass jar with some rocks if you put the smallest rocks in first then you won't have any space for the larger rocks but if you put the larger rocks in first and put the smaller after then everything will fall in place and what this basically is alluding to the fact that we require Christ to order our lives and to put everything in place and as much as we should focus solely on our spiritual life we should also put Christ in our lives as relates to the small things that as a result when we put Christ or when we really focus on Christ in all aspects of our lives everything will fall into place the analogy that was used by Daniel of the the peripheral and central vision when when the peripheral vision gets fuzzy it is to help us focus on the essential vision and as such we require the smaller rocks to to be there to help the bigger rocks to stay together and to stay connected it's it's the principle is one of course illness and as Christians we should always try to find balance in our spiritual lives very good and so in his work [Music] [Music] order my steps in your word these order my steps in your working help me be still while Satan is busy God is real order my steps in your word please order my steps in your word [Music] brought on my tongue let my words and if I let the words of my mouth be acceptable in thy side take charge of my thoughts both day and night order my steps in your word please order my steps in your word I want to walk worthy I want to walk worthy my calling to fulfill please order my steps you know you're said will your world is ever changing world is ever changing but you are still the same please order my steps for [Music] in your word and your word show me how to walk in your world show me show me how to see in your world [Applause] [Music] my and so it is very important that you realize that is the most important principle that we have learned through this court that as long as we allow God to other steps in his word we will be fine now we looked earlier in our passage about seeking God first know some persons may be wondering does God needs more land for example or more houses what does it really mean to to put God first what does he deserve us and so you'll find that not only does Jesus wants to be first in your life and also last but he wants to be the best in your life and that is very important because that to symbol mean that you you give him your heart you give him your life you surrender your all to him and that leads us to the point no Dania where I'm such then we must aim high because I'm sure that as long as we learn to give our lives to God we're going to be happy what do you have to say about that Daniel well this was actually the point that stood out to me most this week aiming high and the reason it stood out to me is because I realized that this was a very principle that God had taught to me this week sometimes as Christians as young individuals we believe that we cannot attain true success and we cannot aim high or as as the title said without sacrificing principle at times with without putting aside for moments or integrity and the situation this week was that I had a friend with my final set of examinations and because of the kovat situation we were required to do the examinations at home now the University clearly outlined that each student is not to take any extra material into the room only one device is allowed into the room and because your home you know there is a temptation to do contrary to our soul and no God had impressed upon me and he convicted me a purpose in my heart that he would take me all the way all the way I would not seek to assist self and I had about had three other friends who were convicted of the same and after the examination was over one of them Lydia she messaged me and she said Danielle when I looked at some things I could have quickly looked quickly Luke looked up could I've got 20 more marks ten more marks I wanted to cry then she said no really we're going to place God in full control of the situation and sometimes seeking God first may look like the situation of a three Hebrew boys but they said O king we know our God is able to deliver but even if he does not we will not bow it may look like Joseph was its experience where he says where can i how can I do this great wickedness and sin against my god so sometimes for us as Christians it's not so much about and being the greatest physician according to the according to the world's standards being the lawyer who wins the more the most cases being the past or the greatest truck truck wreck harder or being the businessman with the most lucrative business it's more about placing Christ at the center for our life so that we can live our lives through us within us and for me what it has taught me what I taught me what I can bring forward with me is that it won't be that it may not be that I may be the highest recommended physician right but it will be not just alleviating physical malady but that my patients will have a great experience with Christ I've been led to know the true and living Savior so when you press please Christ at the center of our lives this can be realized just reading lights except from this week's study it says balance by religious principle you may climb to any height you please

thank you know Lord for hearing under for answering our prayers for we ask these mercies and the powerful in the mighty and in the wonderful name of our Savior Jesus Christ and I hear the people say Amen and amen everybody good to have you in the house again and we are at that stage where we've always been discussing or stewardship obligation as already stated Jesus said more about money and material possessions than he did about a Sabbath or morality or relationship to money must be guided by our relationship with and commitment to the faith community remember Luke 12 and verse 15 a man's life does not consist in the abundance of the things that he possesses we have said that people buy money with the education their abilities and their time the level of education or the quality of one's skill determines the value of that person's time a security guard for example his hour has a different price tag compared to a brain or heart surgeon and so it is critical that all youth aim to take advantage of their educational opportunities and we ought to leave them in that direction it is also critical that the faith community recognizes that money has the power of addiction and that's why the Bible speaks of the love of money some persons love money and what it can do and they wander away from the faith and pierced themselves with grief first six and verse 10 Paul informs us that he has learned to be contented with whatever circumstances he finds himself in Jesus says no person can serve two masters God and Mammon the term Mammon is popularly used in the Bible to refer to money or material possession entrusted to somebody that term eventually assumed the inclusion of anything that people trust in rely or depend on Mammon can corrupt and skew the believers thinking it can warp his attitude it can dismantle his priority it can rearrange and wreak havoc on friendships and undermine your faith Mammon can contort your value system it can make you neglect your duties abandon your friends cause you anxiety stress and worry if you allow Mammon to define you it will neutralize your devotion to God we your commitment to the faith and confuse your belief system this is the time in worship therefore when we demonstrate or preference God or Mammon or appetite for God's love care and compassion his liberality etc result from his giving us shelter and health and housing we can't repeat him but we embrace partnership in what he has done and is doing to change lives in our community as the technical staff helps you to go through the online giving portal we hope that you will give generously liberally and appreciatively knowing that all that we have come from the Lord and there is much more where that comes from so as we give liberally he replenishes let us pray loving father thank you for the opportunity to give thank you that we have what to give and as we give of our financial earnings help that we will give our hearts and our lives to you so that when the pearl of great price shall take charge of our living and our existence we will have the joy of being told well done bless us bless all gifts and bless all worship for Jesus sake [Music] [Music] with a

upside-down wrong is right and right is wrong [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] let God's people say Amen the truth of the matter is we are living in a broken world but thanks be to God it will not be for long soon and very soon right we'll always be right and wrong will always be wrong and soon and very soon this world that seems to be upside down will be standing on the right side up what do you say morning everyone and want to thank you for joining us for our special online worship service those who have joined us via whatever electronic media we want to thank you for joining us all so happy for those who are in house worshiping today practicing social distancing and every now and then you will have to just bring the mask down so that you can give God a good shout it's difficult to praise the Lord the way you want to with your mouth covered up but every now and then you may have to just shifter masturbate and give God a little hallelujah shout and praise he continues to be good to us last week because of a special assignment I was not able to be at the usual time of welcome with sister Popkin and I have to do a little repenting because last week one of our special online viewers from Rochester in New York celebrated his 81st birthday and he said that every Sabbath he is tuned in to West Jamaica Conference online worship service and so I want to say to Isaac Nelson happy belated 81st birthday and to Quran his wife and the entire family we wish you all a belated birthday and you can still celebrate there's nothing wrong to celebrate even one week after all so I visited the Falmouth Hospital I think it was on Monday enthused them and the men on five East said by the president that every Sabbath they watch us and that we should pray for them the truth of the matter is I wrote down their names on a piece of paper which I don't have with me here but I want to say special Sabbath morning to the patients on five East Bay Hospital in Falmouth that we are praying for you I told them that by the time I get to sending greetings that the five East probably will be empty because we prayed and God work miraculously on their behalf so if you have been discharged and you are at five East we we are lifting you up continually in prayer God has been tremendously good to us what do you say in spite of he continues to be a very good god to us for today our special passages of meditation it will come from Luke chapter 4 and verse 27 and 2nd Kings chapter 5 verses 1 to 15 let's bow heads as we pray Oh father we come today for another word from you bring a fresh anointing to your word right now bring a fresh anointing to your man's servant bring a fresh anointing to your people baptize us anew today with powerful man hi in Jesus name we pray and let the people say Amen Saint Luke chapter 4 is a passage that I heard my president mentioned several occasions one that Jesus used to indicate Israel's reluctance of a cept in the words of the Prophet Jesus said and many lepers were in Israel at the time of lysis the prophet or Elijah the Prophet and none of them was cleansed saving naman and if you look at 2nd Kings you'll also see where for Lipper's went to the gate of the enemy when a great famine was in the land and starvation but the Bible did not mention that any of those four was friends there were many lepers at the time of Elisha but only one of those lepers was friends and inviting patriarchs and prophets said that God passed over many lepers in Israel because their unbelief closed the door of good to them a he then nobleman she said who had been shoe to his convictions of right and who felt the need of help was in the sight of God more worthy of his blessings than were they afflicted in Israel naman had a conviction more than any other leper in Israel sure there must be something that is not worthy of naman there must be something that we must take note of Neiman's Life and Neiman's conviction so much so that he was the only Lipper as a matter of fact he was not an Israelite as a matter of fact he was not a drew as a matter of fact he was a Gentile he was an enemy of God's people yet this leper was the only one who got healing yet this leper was the only one who appealed to the God of Israel through his prophet for help walk with me today an English professor Lustrous English professor said it is the most effective short story in human life is a story of naman he went on to say that the healing of naman was not just healing of a skin disease but it's one of the finest most effective revelation of God's truth you will find in the Word of God but I want to remind us friends even as we are familiar with the story the story appeals to us because it finds a parallel with our experience that we when we read second Kings Chapter five we need to put ourselves in the story instead of naman we need to put our very own names instead of leprosy we need to put sin instead of the Jordan River we need to place in the story Calvary we need to put ourselves in this story have divided this story this incident into five chapters five chapters the first chapter is naman a great man some people will live and die without achieving anything of importance of not worthiness whereas others will rise to fame and make their name in anything that they touch are due and such was name and follow me everybody wherever he went myra said he was acclaimed he was a commander he was a great man highly regarded highly honorable by him might be astonishing to some of us by him the Bible said the Lord accomplished much the God of heaven accomplished much through naman he was a valiant soldier he was a great man indeed naman was courageous Neiman was popular Neiman was dependable and you better believe it Neiman was a wealthy fellow a man with a splendid Armour a five-star general in the Sirians army a man who was respect to the man who individuals bow down to a man who when he walks through the streets of Syria thousands of individuals will salute him thousands of individuals will praise him that's the man we are talking about when I go to the next chapter chapter 2 and chapter 2 begins with a conjunction hear me somebody in spite of his fame in spite of his pedigree the Bible says he but he was a leper but beneath his splendid uniform was a loathsome disease of leprosy the most humiliating disease that could possible disgrace a human being whenever naman comes home from battle he had to quarantine himself whenever naman came home from battle he had to isolate himself from his family he could not sit at the table for dinner he could not lie in his natural oniel bed he had to be isolated by him-self it got so bad that his skin turned white it got so bad that he's here started to fall out it got so bad that his fingernails his toenails his joints begun to rot it got so bad that his face became disfigured it got so bad that putrifying sores started to become infected they carry around a particular odor that has no become unbearable to his family his gum started to recede his teeth started to fall from his gum Leeman the mighty man covered in a glorious armor hear me somebody was covered with leprosy this robbed him of the joy of his achievement here was a man who was constantly praised here was a man who was constantly honor but his achievement was robbed by a leprosy he was personally burdened with the disease but he was helpless to do anything about it there was no cure and the only thing that could help him was a miracle but Church of the Living God you have to look at name and in a special way because even if a miracle he has never seen it happen in Israel there was no example he had that one leper in Israel was healed hope you following the preacher today understand old friends that we need that success was a terrible disease we need that tragedy we need it was tragedy and sorrow a great man but a leper is that story your story is that story my story only God and do you know that sometimes evil behind our success sometimes evil behind our fame sometimes even behind our progress here is a residue of sinfulness God sees the heart man looks on the outward appearance but God sees the heart is this the picture I wanted to know friends yes it is the picture of ten thousands of individuals raise the picture that spirit looked well and nicely outfitted but deep down in the heart there is I sinfulness this also is the experience of thousands of believers this also is experience of thousands of unbelievers there is the disease of sin is there any help is there any solution I must tell you friends and whether you want to believe it and accept it or not all of us have a little pot in us all of us have that one little pot we are surviving but we are attending church but our bills are taking care of but we are excelling but there is that little but there is that conjunction in our lives and it is weighing us down some are public but some conjunctions are private nobody knows what you and God but if we are honest enough if we if we are true to ourselves and true to the situation in spite of but know Noah built an ark but he was a drunkard Abraham father of this nation but he was a liar Jacob and all the press in France surgery but he was a deceiver david was a great king but he was an adulterer somebody hear me today there is that but there is that conjunction that is we have to face like me man Samson was a strongest warrior but he was a fornicator Peter was a great preacher but he was a deserter Moses was the greatest of leaders but he struck the rock there is the flicker but there is a conjunction that is in all of us but great men but he was a leper my third chapter of the story tells us that naman had a jingle liqueur made in his house with somebody walking with me today naman had a gentle iike maid she was captured and one of those ventures she was taken as a as a maid and was placed in laymen's house and when she saw his condition this tinkle little girl said I wish to God that my master was with the Prophet take note she said the Prophet and not the King I wish my master was with the prophet of Israel and I know that my master I know it has never happened before my mother and father did not tell me that there were any lepers that were made whole but I know if my master could meet my prophets who knows about my god something special is going to happen o hear me today Church of the Living God sometimes sometimes God put some individuals in our lives for our good and for his glory and sometimes the persue who means you most earnest are the persons at times that you look down on sometimes the person who has the best interest at heart are the persons that we treat the worst we shall have somebody today who know what I'm talking about we shall have somebody today who can praise God with me sometimes we don't know why God lead us to this person but God put some people in our lives that when we are down they can lift us up sometimes God puts some people that are insignificant but God has a way of using them to our good and to his honor and to his glory let me his nun she was insignificant he was an important person she was a Hilton Jew he was a loved Soriana she was a liquid he was a great man she had no name he was naman she was a captive he was a captain but praise God naman had the common sense as a matter of fact when you are a person of importance and influence those who serve you are often invisible to you and that's why if you're a leader treat your subordinates with respect because you never know when you're going to need when your life will depend on the generosity when your life will depend on the faithfulness and kindness of such subordinate hear me somebody if you're a father or a mother treat your children good for you never know when the time will come that the kindness of those children will save your life anyway that's commercial that's commercial get back do you know that it's recorded in ancient Roman as a Roman general hear this as a Roman general was parading through the streets during a victory parade do you know that standing behind him was a slave who had the responsibility to remind the general that although he was at his feet today tomorrow he could fall that was the responsibility of that servant as the general was parading the servant had the responsibility yes you are victorious today but tomorrow you may fall tomorrow you can be brought down the servant would remind the general of this by whispering the phrase remember that you will die so as a general parades and wave his virtue even much true his picture much deserve general remember you shall die but you know that most of these generals did not listen to the voice of this servant most of them ignore that voice but thanks be to God nay man had the courage to the voice of a child here me you know when God is speaking you can know when God is speaking you can know when God is either through a child or an adult you just know when God is speaking chapter four as I hast known naman church naman made three mistakes naman made three mistakes the girl little girl said to him I said to mrs. naman I wish that my master would meet my prophet not my king what's the first mistake what's the first mistake that naman made naman decided that he was going to go to his King and his King wrote a letter made some diplomatic connection so from one King to the other he sent a note saying hey my chief servant or walk with me my chief servant my valiant warrior is sick and I heard from good source I heard from faithful source that there is only one cure and that cure is in Israel some sending you the note so the first mistake is that naman went to the wrong person and to the wrong place went to the wrong person went to the wrong place so when the King got me the letter the king of Israel was disturbed and said oh my god oh my god your king is is his assertion for a reason to make war tore his clothes and was in distress hear me today friends the leprosy of sin can only be cured in one way and in one place there is only one remedy for the leprosy of sin and that is true Jesus Christ and somebody needs to say hey men but naman went to the wrong place he went to the wrong person some of us we are trying to tell you some of us are going to the wrong place to find solution for our boots there is still some of God's children who are going through spiritism to get a solution that's the wrong place are you hearing me somebody which our time to tell your story but time is not here spirit in spiritism or other spiritualistic ways to get solution there are those who are knocking on the wrong door there is only one way for salvation and that is true Jesus Christ one door that is true Jesus Christ it is sad that some of us are snuck in at the wrong door some of us are knocking at father's door and mother's door hearing me when we need to dodged or the second thing that he did wrong second mistake he made Nieman offered the wrong price search the Bible Neiman carried some gold six thousand shekels of gold ten sets of different fine clothing naman had money and naman wanted to use money to buy his salvation to buy his healing but let me remind the church that the solution for sin is free salvation is freeing Jesus you don't have to buy it whatever money you have by salvation because Jesus hey let me hasten to tell you he made the third mistake he wanted to sew so he went to the wrong place and the wrong person when when the Prophet heard that the king was in distress the Prophet said to call naman and said King why are you worried why are you frightened send him down here let him know that Israel nor let Syria know that there is still a prophet in Israel still a God who can save so he went down to the prophets house and here naman as he was going down hey the Prophet is going to come out and he's going to call me by my name ooh the profit is gonna come out he's gonna stand in his place he's gonna raise his hand to heaven pray to his God and my leprosy is gonna be healed but naman was looking to use the wrong prescription by the way friends naman was looking to user wrong prescription he went to the wrong person the wrong place he offered the wrong price and no he was looking to use the wrong prescription when he went stood at the prophet's door who the prophet sent out another servant Oh hear me today Church which I had time to tell you you must listen to some still voices send out the servant and said hey my master is not coming out to you my master said you should go and dip seven times in Jordan and year disease will be he pure and do you think naman said yes

always lead us to do what is right those are the people you need to have around you servant said hey if the master had asked you if the prophet that asks you to do something big wouldn't you do it naman said hey what about other rivers in Damascus clear crystal water guess what Ellen White puts it into perspective Ellen White said those rivers in Damascus he didn't used to go and worship their gods and the bands of those rivers so anyhow naman had gone into that river and be made whole they would have sent it to heathen gods but there's a God there is only one way to salvation and that's the way God chooses you can't tell God how to save you you can't tell God how pure it is yes business all we have to do is to totally trust him how five minutes to go let me tell you naman listen to
