thrice peter said unto him zohan should die with thee yet will i not deny thee likewise also said hall's disciples then commit jesus with them into a place called get ceremony and said unto the disciples sitting here while i go and pray yonder and he took with him peter and two and the two sons of zebedee and begone to be sorrowful and very heavy then said he unto them my soul is exceeding sorrowful evil unto death carry ye here and watch with me and he went a little further and fell on his face and prayed saying oh my father if it be possible let this cup pass from me nevertheless not as i will but as thou willed and he cometh into the disciples and he comment on to the disciples and find them asleep and say it unto peter what could he not watch with me one hour 41 and final watch

of the spirit of god we don't seem to we don't we don't try to program him out but we are going to have his way in our lives praise god a few weeks ago i told you we were out visiting and coming towards the end of the visit brother baker brother baker said to me pastor the next thing we need to do is to have a sunday where we bring out all our shorties and i said to him sir you have just confirmed you remember that conversation you have just confirmed in my spirit what the lord wants to do and so today is that day when thanks to the help of all concerned and all who helped to make it possible that our shootings most of our shootings are here with us today can we put our hands together for these our senior very senior citizens [Applause] some are not here because of various reasons because we we made sure that we made contact with all our seniors all our shootings and because of medical conditions that's why the others are not here but we thank god for those of you who are here today the reverend or administrative bishop the reverend dr roy noticed he shared with us in a minister's conference in mandeville a few years ago and he said to us and i may have said it here before that he was asked to preach at one of our churches and he preached and he preached and he preached as a young man he gave it his best shot and he said that when he was through a very aged minister the congregation came up to him and put his hands on his shoulders and with a trembling voice he said young man you have done exceedingly but one thing i'm asking of you remember those who caught the water and he thought about it for a moment what could this elderly minister was saying it was explained to him he said whereas you are now able to do what you are doing within the confines of this church but there were many before you who had to go to the hills to cut the woods to make the church that you are now able to preach in and i want you to understand the context in which i use this term today in a very special way we are remembering those who caught the water we are remembering those who dug the foundation we are remembering those who help to cast the concrete we are remembering those who cook the food to supply meals to those who were working we are remembering those who down on their knees they prayed to god that somebody would be saved from their sins come on church are you are you preaching with me amen today we are remembering those who wept and hollered before almighty god so that today we can be seated in a clean church building with tiled floors and electrical outlays that beautifies the church and nice drapes and fans and microphone can i tell you my brothers and sisters that when they were laboring for the lord in the trenches many times they did not have electricity many times as they go into a church it was just mild floor and wooden benches and sometimes round wood making the seats they are our special guests today and we thank god for them put your hands together for them somebody [Applause] i promise i will not be long but i must bring a few things in focus the names that i have here and as i call your names i'm going to ask you just to raise your hand so that we can identify with you and others who may just be coming into church can know you because you may have been at home for a long time and not able to come to service but you are here

you thank you so very much sister pearl i i did a rough calculation and i want to just say something here that will help us to understand that when we invest in the kingdom of god god has a way of rewarding his people because i have added the age the ages of all these our senior citizens can i tell you right here in the church now among these persons is 864 years of life sitting here before us just these seniors just these seniors just what 12 of them 864 years and if each of them have been serving the lord for 50 years then we're talking about 600 years of service to god right here before us let's put our hands together for jesus hallelujah hallelujah and so for the few minutes left that i will share with you is 11 15. i promise you i must finish by 11 30. i don't want to keep you up too long but we have brought you here today just to say to you thank you and god bless you i stand on behalf of the officers and all the members of this church to say to you today our senior citizens who are now as it were in the evening of your lives and you are considered to be shortens because you cannot come out for the number of times you would want to come out we say to you thank you and god bless you there is a popular saying and i have scriptures that i'm going to make reference to in a short while that don't scatter roses when i'm gone but rather give them to me now amen and so when we get those roses now sister duncan we'll be able to see them the beauty that is in that flower will be able to smell the free grants that the petals of that flower gives off and we'll be able to enjoy a nice well-set decoration that all those petals have formed so we have called you here today before you move on to the next phase of your life to say to you thank you and god bless you we are not waiting until you're gone but we have brought you out as our brothers and sisters our senior brothers and sisters to show our appreciation to you the composite number of years that i've just mentioned to you 864 years is a is a testimony of your dedication to god you have been faithful servants of god and i say to you that your service is priceless there is nothing that we can give to you today or any other time to fully compensate you for what you have done but i want you to know that many of us here today have been a part of the church after you have laid the foundation and it was your foundation why we were able to come into this well finished buildings and we thank you and we say god bless you and i want to remind you of a few things because sometimes we overlook the very important contribution that persons have made in kingdom building i want to give you two reminders today my senior citizens one is that you are living has not been in vain in the lord your living has not been in vain in the lord so here i'd want to take you for a moment to philippians chapter one philippians chapter 1 verses 20 and 21 says and i'm sure this is what you have been saying i'm saying to you your living will not be in vain in the lord hear what verse 20 says of philippians chapter one according to my earnest expectation and my hope that in nothing i shall be ashamed but that with all boldness as always so now also christ shall be magnified in my body are you seeing the fact that you are living shall not be in vain here whether it be by life or by death what the apostle paul was writing to the philippians and saying to them is that he has had so many experiences that has driven him to a particular conclusion that christ has been given first place in his life [Music] this is what our senior citizens have done they have given christ first place in their lives amen if they had not given christ first place in their lives they would not be as peaceful and contented as they are today because they have lived a life pleasing to god and so at this moment in time the peace of god is residing in their hearts i have had the opportunity to visit most if not all of these right in their homes and every time we go there and those who have come along with me we leave every one of them encouraged now look at it we go to encourage them but because of the life they have been living they end up encouraging us that's a blessing church of god that's a blessing and so after all of that consideration here is what paul says and i'm sure this is what these people of god have said and are saying verse 21 paul says for to me to live is christ amen so while i am living i'm going to live for christ and although he was in jail when he was writing he felt free enough to say listen me as long as i am alive i am going to serve god for me to live is christ every breath that i take every moment of my life every time my mouth says something i am saying thank you lord and then he goes further he says when i cease from living and when i die it's again because i'm gone home to be with jesus hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah and so we don't know when any of these will be going we don't know when any of us will be going but all we know is that when we die is gain for me to live is christ and to die is gain so i win on both sides whether i am alive or whether i die i am a wienerman in jesus name hallelujah that is confidence deacon park in a god that never fails hallelujah [Music] the story is told of a very senior member of a church that was at the point of death doctors gave up on him and sent him home from hospital to go home to die and the brethren from the church visited him and they were praying and praising god and some of them were just quite sorrowful that it appears as if any time brother so-and-so would be making his exit from this world but can i tell you that the brother while they were praying and crying the brother burst out into one of the loudest and biggest laugh that you could ever hear and they were astonished and said how comes we are here because you are as it were at the exit station and you know what the brother says to them he said listen me i have been a christian for almost all my life i have served god with everything i have and you know what happened in a short while i'll be able to meet the man that i have served that i have never met before talk to me church of god he's going to meet the man that he has been serving for all his life that he has never met before and that was exciting to him and so he laughed with an uncontrollable love because he was going home to meet jesus clap your hands at jesus somebody hallelujah [Music] hallelujah hallelujah so i say to you remember your living will not be in vain and finally i want to say to you your labor will not be in vain so you live and your laboring none of them will be in pain your labor will not be in vain all these have labored long and hard and i've just said to you if each of them have been saved for 50 years we have in excess of 600 years of labor in the kingdom of god right here before us and they they may have now reached to that stage where they are tired they may be feeling all sorts of pain and there may be all sorts of illness that have overtaken their bodies at 95 you're going to feel some pain at 85 some system on the body now working or more talk to me church amen at 86 something one shot down at 72 you're going to lose a sense talk to me and as you go down the line things are going to start to happen but i say to you don't give up on god this body may be shutting down but i stop long enough to tell you your labor will not be in vain hallelujah clap your hands for them somebody can you know what happened brothers you will i am convinced that when they had strengthened their bodies they were laboring for the lord i believed that they were not lazy but they were laboring for the lord hallelujah and so that strength that you had when you were 30 and 40 you don't have it anymore but i say to you don't sit down and become regretful don't sit down and mope and pine but i say to you occupy your minds with pleasant memories because if you have done all for almighty god then it's a time now that you can sit down and look at the investment that you have made into the kingdom of god and you can give god the glory come on church of god many of us here we could be products of their ministries many of us here maybe came to the lord because of their ministry the man who preached that night on the radio when i got saved i searched to find him for years i don't know demand but i started to search for this man and one brother from a minister from another church when i told him i say i'm searching for this man he said i know the man oh god hallelujah and i went to the church where he was pastoring by now he had retired and he's at home and i heard on the radio that they'd be having a week of crusade and i said to myself i'm going to show up at this church and i went in that night and when the opportunity was given for anyone to testify i stood up i was a stranger there have never been to the church before but i stood up and i gave my testimony and i told them that because you paid for a radio broadcast i am saved and this is who i am and i said i did not know the person who who preached that night but i heard his name and his name was so-and-so and everybody started getting excited i went back the second night because they said to me they would want him to come to hear that testimony because you see when you are on when you are behind a microphone on radio you don't know who is listening out there we are here from this platform we don't know who is listening out there or who are watching out there and so the night the second night i went back i did not know him he did not know me but then the time came when i could have met him in the service the testimony came back on the platform and i met that gentleman for the first time his name was reverend stan webley he's gone on to glory now but here i am he was obedient to god and he was able to share that word that night at quarter to 12 on the 20th of march 1976. he sheared from said matthew chapter 13 because somebody cared you have a pastor today i'm saying to you that because you cared all of us we are here today because you invested your time on talent because you gave your money and your strength you are here today in the presence of these weaknesses and we are saying to you thank you and god bless you so my closing text to you today you know it very well and then we move straight into the partaking of the holy communion paul saint paul was writing to the corinthian church and in chapter 15 [Music] verse 58 i use that as encouragement for you today as you are in the evening of your lives paul saw you sitting in this church today by faith and he says to tell you therefore my beloved brethren be steadfast hallelujah hallelujah be you steadfast unmovable always abounding in the work of the lord for as much as you know that your labor is not in vain in the lord i say to you thank you for your labor of love thank you and we assure you that your life will not be in vain and your labor will not be in vain in the lord and i'm being the voice of this church this morning thank you and god bless you 3 282 from the song book is the last word of encouragement that i want to leave with you and then we go into the partaking of the holy communion can you find 282 for me and let us sing it for these our senior very
