i'm really feeling very satisfied for the strides that this gospel station is making because of all the according to mrs blair black if we have 30 stations in jamaica then not all of them are gospel stations we know that but thank god that a gospel station is rising in in in the in the census and that's a positive because i tell you my brothers and sisters and i don't know how many of you have been witnessing this but i've been into some business places and i said to my wife how kind of nice that can i say that on radio what kind of is that because i hear some things and i i have a problem but thank god for gospel j.a that will come on and give you something soothing and you will hear something that speaks to your soul hallelujah mrs blair black i can testify that one wednesday morning i was coming here for our midweek service and fasting service and i was listening to you coming along all the way and i remember you making very special emphasis nevertheless and she spoke on that word for about half an hour and believe you me it lifts my spirit nevertheless you may be going through your difficulties and your trials nevertheless there is a god somewhere you may feel that you can't go any further but nevertheless keep holding on to your to god because he's going to come through for you that was a great source of inspiration that wednesday morning thank you thank you for speaking into my soul praise god and yes i'm going to do the pastoral prayer but let me do the comments before because one of the things i really look forward to when i have the time mrs winter is to listen to that interchange when markland is going to take over from avagay my god it sounds like other people love to listen to that sister stubbs you listen to to to markland and you're saying what i'm what that troublemaker won't leave that lady alone and and he picks her feathers and picks her pheasant but guess what avague is up to it she can manage yes she can manage she can stand her ground and she can stand up to markland yes yes so it tells you mrs winter we are tuning in amen amen amen praise god and so it's not only gospel j.a that we tune into but we tune into the portals of glory amen and so on earth here during this time when we need a sound from somebody else who has that responsibility to speak to us through the airwaves we tune in but can i tell you it's an opportunity now to tune into heaven because god is there ready and waiting he wants to speak to somebody's heart today he wants to do a miraculous activity in somebody's life we may have been carrying this pain for a long time there may be troubles and trials that have been buffeting us and have been keeping us under pressure but we come to our rock of ages today we come to our god that cares and understands oh i hear this someone has got you any rivers that see meth on crossable got you any mountains you can't tunnel through god specializes in things that seem impossible and he'll do for you my brother he'll do for you my sister out there in radio land and those joining us on the beerus platforms get ready god is going to do something supernatural right now in the name of jesus because we the people of faith we are going to raise our faith to another level and believe god today i'd like to say to us that as we go to the lord in prayer there are many of our members that have lost loved ones and many of our members have passed we can think of oh sister price who just went on about two weeks ago and our young sister that was baptized last year january she's gone on the mother of sister henry the the navy of sister robinson and i could go on and on they have all left planet earth but can i tell you that god cares he understands hallelujah and i step on enough to tell you that he can do for you what no other power can do there are many of our brethren that are sick in the hospital at home in the nursing homes and the need of visitation from god can i ask you to stand with me please as we go to the lord in prayer praise god can i ask you to just tune that song for me praise team got you any rivers that see meth and cross [Music] praise hallelujah is [Music] [Applause] [Music] praise god hallelujah i just want you to believe that the word of the lord says him that commits to god must believe that he is and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him we seek the face of the lord i'm going to do something a little bit different i'm going to ask you young brother matthew gilzin oh i'm sorry that mask threw me off all right okay good that's all right never mind [Music] let

ourselves from morning but we are not going to switch channels and we're going to tune in and to hear from god what he has to say to us there is a word from god there's a message for us today from almighty god and so the person to deliver that message is someone that has been very well known to us here at commodore he has been here in recent times and he's back today i'm speaking about the reverend orville plummer the reverend orville plummer was educated at the glenmuir high school jamaica theological seminary and the university of the west indies he is currently reading for a doctoral degree in leadership in higher education from the delaware state university reverend plummer is an ordained bishop of the new testament church of god and has served in a number of capacities over the past 26 years these include national camp director national teens ministries director pastor district overseer national director of youth and christian education director for not for ministerial care and development he presently serves as a national secretary treasurer of the new testament church of god and i can say here we are very proud of him and very happy for all that he has been doing reverend plummer is very happily married to paula a school principal who is teaching him a number of things they are the proud parents of three sons he is a justice of the peace a committed jamaican a passionate christian and a transformational leader my brothers and sisters after we are blessed with the ministry of brother gavrin campbell is saxophonist i ask you kindly to stand and receive our

may be seated you may be seated what a beautiful day [Music] for the lord to come again i'm so happy to be sharing in this historic service the 10th anniversary of gospel jehay the fastest growing radio station in jamaica could you put him together for them [Music] so let me greet the management and the staff of gospel j.hey a particular our brother and friend wyatt casey davis i don't know if you know but why it was a pastor in the new testament church of god so great things come out of church of god including gospel j.a and i am disappointed markland because markland did not produce his birth certificate to show that he also is from new testament church of god and i am guest several other members of the team so in a sense reverend reed they are coming back home to celebrate this service amen i want also to greet the worldwide audience that are connecting to the service by the various media i am sure that persons all the way in timbuktu nairobi kenny and all those places are tuned in i know that some of my friends and colleagues and families i send a link to them and so i need some commission from the market in person because i know you have gotten some new listenership this morning so i will let my attorney speak to you on that pastor jeff the reed my good friend and colleague and his beautiful wife yvonne reed i am so happy to return to this spot of wrong i think i was the one who introduced you almost 10 years ago and i'm so happy to to um to come and share with you the officers the congregation and the members of this church i bring all of your greeting from our administrative bishop dr roy notice our national executive council and the entire new testament church of god we deem this at the national service because the new testament church of god is being broadcast nationally and internationally unfortunately my wife paula is joining with us in illinois chicago she's there on vacation and i also share her greetings i hasten to congratulate and commend gospel ja the name by itself is a hit i mean that's brilliant gospel j.a i mean your combined two of the most powerful brand in the world gospel and j.a i mean that is just no one there to grow and i want to comment them and i will maybe back in my sermon i'll talk a little bit i know about this station long time before it starts and we'll talk a little bit more maybe in the sermon but you are doing very well i'd certainly tune in um to you um very often and it must be said that in the last two of our national convention you broadcast it and i can tell you the third one is coming up in july i mean third since you're broadcasting and you can prepare for that one it's going to be bigger because the cove restriction is kind of coming out so we we're partnering so in a sense we don't formally um mr ceo and programs manager on the finance we have not formally signed the agreement for partnership but you have the new testament church of god as a partner as you spread the gospel and promote local talent i am so blessed and so proud something that the churches ought to return to which is authentic gospel preaching authentic gospel singing i don't want to get into chubby early in my sermon but we import too much gospels up too much gospel singing they are some authentic jamaican gospel you see when marquis will come up here think about it all the foreigners they want the authentic gospel and the authentic gospel music um this guy danny mcclurkin he don't go anywhere without singing jamaican gospel and so we lord gospel j.a for that wonderful move i i don't want to say it but it may it may work saying and you after those nuance the interpretation gospel ja is the ira fm of gospel in jamaica that's a good thing roots are authentic real and we want to commend the team for that i want to hasten um to speak a word to you your theme that you have selected today again there are some some brilliance over there resilient and commitment am i correct and committed resilient and commitment committed it's a call and the station is saying we are resilient and we are committed but we have to move that from the station the station is saying to the church you must be resilient and you must be what commit it touch somebody man i said resilient a socialist dancing so you haven't heard about him resilient and what a theme we want that in this time and i dare say um reverend wyatt markland and the rest of you this is not just a call by the station to the church is a call to the nation as a nation it is time for us to be what resilient come on somebody and be committed and we could just use one but to combine both is powerful will you stand with me as i share a passage of scripture and ask god to bless me as i seek to bless you and ask god to speak to me as i seek to speak to you first samuel chapter 30 verse 1 to 8. first samuel chapter 30 verse 1 to 8. are you there somebody are you there david and his men reached ziegler on the third day now the amalekites had ray the negev and ziklag they had attacked ziklag and burn it and are taken captive the woman and everyone else in it both young and whole they killed none of them but carried them off as they went on their way when david and his men reached ziklag they found it destroyed by fire and their wives and their sons and their daughters taken captive so david and his men wept aloud until they had no strength left to weep david two wives had been captured adiom of jezreel and abigail the wife of nabal of carmel david was greatly distressed because the men were talking of storing him each one was bitter in his spirit because of his sons and daughters but david encouraged himself in the lord another version said david found strength in the lord is god then david said to abithar the priest the son of amalek bring me the ephod abithar brought it to him and david inquire of the lord shall i pursue this raiding party will i overtake the lord respond pursue them you will certainly overtake and succeed in this rescue can somebody magnify him can somebody give him praise resilient and committed you may be seated if there's anybody can talk to us about resilient and committed is david if anybody can talk to us about a context in which we need to be resilient and committed is now we know what is happening long time before coronavirus the rapid change in society the rapid change in technology the economic problem the crime the violence all of those things have pushed us one way and drug us the other and by time we come used to one technology another one is created by the time we come to 1.0 2.0 is being developed this time that we are living in call for resilience but kovid 19 have made this even more urgent than any other time as a church we have to forsake the gathering of ourselves together and learn to get on youtube and facebook and all sort of thing to give god praise can somebody magnify him many persons have lost their job and i i wonder how some people manage all those persons who work at the school gate selling almost a sock sock socks okay bag juice and cheese sticks and those ancillary workers who work who get paid as they work and school and keep how they survive persons in the tourism industry who have been laid off the psychologists and the sociologists have told us that there's an increased incident of mental illness come on talk to me somebody because some people can't cope and thanks be to god we're still here come on somebody worship we are still here [Applause] we are still here i i was studying david recently and one of the one of the primary thing he keep on talking to god asking god god don't make my foot sleep he that keep at israel neither slumber lord don't let my foot slip in other words keep me on this solid rock knuckler it's not easy children also have been cage upped and locked up and locked in and no wonder as soon as they've gone back up to school up here fights that broke their socialization and all these things businesses have been closed and so when gospel jay asks us and challenge us to be resilient and committed they're on the ball they're on the money it is a it is a it is a word in time and i want to speak to you i want to speak to the company and i want to speak to the nation about some principles from the life of david about resilience and also about being committed will he allow me to preach come on somebody will he allow me to preach amen david was such a person at one realm we saw him call and appointed to be king but for umpteen years between that point of anointed and appointed by god to be king we find david have to live a life of resilience and commitment so don't look on david and his crown don't just look at him in his glory don't just look at him in his palace we need to search and to trace his journey one of resilience uncommitted and the first thing i want to say to us is that to be resilient and to be committed is one off purpose is one of purpose i find in david life and the life of of danielle and people like joseph if you don't have a sense sister yvonne of your purpose you got in a problem if you have a sense of what god has said to you what god is saying to you what god want for you what god has equipped you you're gonna be no problem gospel j.a and every other company if you don't have a censor what your purpose is you're going to fall you're going to fail because it changes and the situation of life are so rapid and varied you're gonna be pulled apart but what kept david was the sense that he was anointed by god talk to me somebody he was anointed by god in the presence of my enemies he anointed my head with oil and his cup run it over surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all today is a man who understand that he was on purpose talk to me somebody every company every marriage every family every church have to get to understand that if we're gonna make it in this environment we must understand why we are here or can somebody magnify him can somebody magnify him i run ahead of myself suicide when person commits suicide you know is because they come to a point that they never tell him say okay i don't mean nothing doesn't give it up but once you're kept reminding yourself that god said i know the plans i have for you come on church i have the plans i have to use said the lord plans to bless you and to prosper you and to give you favor it makes a big difference and some of us here gospel j a worldwide audience is not because we have not suffered hardship it's not because we have not suffered failure it's not because we are not laid off talk to me it's not because we didn't get corona nearly dead but we understand that god have a purpose for my life can somebody magnify him can somebody worship him can somebody worship him can somebody glorify him we need to talk some more about purpose when jesus come the first thing him tell him that i common purpose the spirit of the lord is upon me for he has anointed me to do these things i want to say to somebody this morning it don't matter how dark clouds are rising in no matter all the feelings and the failures that are taking place in your life god has a purpose for your life oh can somebody worship him god has a purpose when he established gospel j.a and just like when the stars in the sky god put them for a purpose they might have to shine just like how the moon and his son come up a revolve they have to become god give them a purpose come on somebody they have even those inanimate things have a purpose in god universe talk to him in a man much less you touch yourself and say i have a purpose i have a purpose for who god foreknew big scripture in in in romans for who god foreknew he did predestine talk to him in a man to be conformed to his son so we must understand that if we're gonna remain resilient and committed it's gonna take an understanding of the sense that we have a purpose so we saw that in the life of david that he was anointed anointed not yet appointed but anointed later on the next thing we recognize that if a person is going to be successful into making it our company our family our country they have to be a period of preparation one of the thing about resilience is that things happen suddenly changes take place unexpectedly and you have to deal with it if you don't have pre-preparation you're gonna you're gonna have a problem in other words it's like a big nice ripe bread food another tree and suddenly there's a wind and what happened it dropped different from uh what we used to call bong syndra rubber ball when you lick down that ball knuckle they are really talk cute me a man and that's what resilience is but you know that don't just you know just you know just get that it's a process that begins with preparation and my god i'm wondering how these christians are making it the ones who used to depend on a preacher to touch them may i think what it is those who depend marklan another preacher to touch them and i preach at all i wonder how do i make it we have a minister's interaction reverend reid was there and the pastors are saying that some of the believers would expect to stand up strong in accord you can answer them they had a form of godliness they could jig the jig they could sing the song but there is no root come on no root and grounded no substance first one of them would start talking about market beasts and this and that no substance what i like about david we don't only see him as king oh my god but we saw him in the backside of the desert we saw him making preparation hello somebody in a sense he was his he was the yard boy in iron family so i want to say to you some of the hardship that you face and some of the difficulty experience it is a time of preparation document of somebody he takes resilience to be a whole cast in your family and survive can i talk to somebody out there he takes resilience to be a whole cast daddy no matter business with you brother against you you're the black sheep and survive that takes resilience some people have lost their mind psychologically they're the mess up but i hear david say when mother and father forsake me come on somebody the lord god will pick me up so when the prophet come to anoint a son as king as as the next king david was not there oh thank god for some of us to be the yard boy modern people know yard boy yard boy i wanna wear anime who pants always bigger because he can't fit him second wear shoes can i talk this on the media where all-time people call pupina and swetina that's what the odd boy is whenever anybody run at the table i hate them food yard boy i feel i feed pig and i'll sweep up the yard and theme food gang up on table and put them on like a now when he finished work that's what david was he was a young so when the feasts come and the king make it he was nowhere to be found but let man be a liar may god be true the prophet said i will not rest because there must be somebody else hallelujah because the anointing the oil he's as thick as lord you know larman you don't know lord he's a thickest lord until they come in and find david stink a sheep hello fula full of babweb and ticks come on somebody head raggy raggy white scholar run him out i want to say part of the what is hap into this generation of jamaican they don't know hardship they don't know to go to school without lunch money they don't know how to wear one uniform one term or one year i might have to pull it out and press it out for the next year talk to me or somebody they don't know how to eat tonka meal one of the worst thing in life i know and so you never eat it lindsted you must you must have a a a a heritage day i make somebody my school and a university student he don't call me lasso then i got school in a class jansport no one that's coming is taking over this country because they want it before they can get hey they might wear name brand 18 18 000 shoes there is no process man there is no process there is no preparation for them i drive markets and we wonder why our values are what it is but i thank god for people like david and some of us we go through the fire we go to the rain talk to me somebody so you saw how important preparation is for when david was ready and the everybody backing off against goliath talk to me somebody the big king the tallest king and the same big brother who bought behind him hey let me tell you something markland you can know when you'll make it you know you can make it out of your your big brother you don't have not yet you know he's like joseph you don't have nothing just have a sense of a vision and a sense of purpose and everybody about mind you that's a sign that something is about to turn [Applause] talk to him in a man so liquor dave with the yard boy david yard boy start to carry two look at cheese and tulko sutton forgot feeding big brother who got military school a military schooling top class military school and when the goliath the wind of cove the goliath the goliath economic breeze and all of that is blowing send me a man the tallest man and the big boys and the big sons they back off but who come on the little yard boy because he was prepared yes talk to me or somebody he was what he was prepared he said he said i can fight him i can fight him i can take him on i know i have the ability so to part i'm running of myself part of being resilient is to be positive i i can i can make it i can finish my education my school fee can be paid one of the most inspiring story i heard in this pandemic is a girl who sell in a child's guard market in a montego bay and send herself to school and get first-class honors [Applause] she said i can make it i'm not gonna compromise my values i'm not gonna send myself i am gonna pivot i'm gonna be resilient and i can make it talk to me man david i can make it touch yourself i can make it i can make it i can survive this i lost the job but i can make it talk to me man they lay me off but i can make it you know it may be a time then lay off it may be time for your start your own company come on resilience you're talking about so davis i can make it they say you can't this man has been a fighter from his youth and you're just a little boy where is your resume where what resume you have come on look at your military qualification where is your strategy for warfare talk to me or somebody hear what david said hear me now while i was a yard boy and taking care of the sheeps come on somebody a lion on a bear some of us are here today because of the hard experiences of the past so thank you god for the hardship thank you god for the barefoot rise thank you god for the one shoes we have the whole night talk to me now somebody thank you lord for the titties thank you lord for your hopes i tell it [Music] come on so in 2022 we can be resilient my god if a famine ever come in a jamaica half are we dead because there's a generation of jamaican who grew up on kfc hamburger king and part of the problem i i blame the government because we get an opportunity even now to return the jamaican people back to farming and back to some of those traditional cuisine when your granny give you one dooku one blue underwear and get and tell you take this boy i'm gonna drink water when you have no lunch money and then give you some asham you know [Applause] [Music] others who have all sought to reach this and when exam come who is doing better talk to me man we need to get back this generation to a time of preparation david was able to be fully prepared to know that he can be resilient in the face of every threat and every hardship can somebody magnify him can somebody praise him can somebody glorify him resilience uncommitted the commitment is there david understand who called him david said you come to me with stick and spears come on somebody but i come to you in the name of the lord who is this uncircumcised philistine who's defined the army of the living god he was committed he has good doctrine that's a part of the preparation he has good doctrine of who he was and what god meant to them and the place of israel in the world every child of god must know you're not pioneer come on you're a royal priesthood come on you're a holy nation you are peculiar people you are designed to prosper [Music] risk above all things that you prosper and be in good health even as your soul prospers in no matter what comes in no matter hell are i what i am gonna prosper for backward never david have that in him and let me show you the next thing that david have to be able to do he has to be able to pivot he has a sense of purpose he has preparation but my god he has to learn very early to pivot because what do we see the moment he killed goliath he was now a celebrity talk to me or somebody life happening or life changing things happen you know sometime i'll treat sixteen active in a man talk to me sometime sometime you're the salesperson and in one day you're the general manager one next time your own million dollar income and next time you you're going back into poverty life happens and that's why some people lose their mind they cannot manage the changes that take place talk to me man in your marriages sometimes your good husband just walk out you don't want to talk some things life just happened your children were doing well going to university then you're stuck go university and start on crop you don't know they were talk to me now somebody things just happen on your your good good house no the action block you're very healthy today and you go doctor tomorrow and doctor said why is life happens changes in life so david in one day he was a sheep boy a young boy i didn't next day he was now a celebrity in other words markland they were not saying boss him boss and people start to say saul kill his thousand and david he's ten thousand and they lift him up in the street and they hear is a leader life happen make her immediately after that him not enjoy nothing a week of celebrity not even a weak you see we're talking about resilience i'm committed because saul develop a hatred my god i want i i want to lick that one hard jamaican people i don't know where we get the language from but it is brilliant no jamaican people is a bad mind jamaican people say dirty bad mind no the jamaican people jamaican people put something more on it dirty bad mind when jimmy can't say dirty bad man you can't see it you can smell it you can feel it and one of the reasons why you must remain resilient and committed is because i envy hatred and dirty bad man david experienced it he experienced it from his big brothers when he come to say he can destroy goliath and say look boy back where way i go there is a big brother syndrome in the church is in family is in the country is in companies who don't want to see potential strife and you have to learn how to deal with that big brother syndrome who feel like you're not qualified not serve your time enough you're not you're not broad enough active in a man why do you think people are bleached you know broad enough to make it you don't have the right political connection can i talk to you somebody but in that context you must be resilient not just a big brother complex but there's a soul complex although i am helping your army although i am helping your kingdom although i am contributing to the success of your company talk to me man you still have a ceiling where me can't pass wait wanna understand what i'm saying you must keep me at that level i must be i must remain the yard boy i'm gonna say a statement but it was said it's not a political statement it's a statement at one time they said then take the country pj and give the gardener and the guard not take it i'll give the helper porsche because there's a mindset of who must be who saul developed and hatred and i'm gonna put it in spiritual context my sister it's more than a psychological hatred a demonic spirit that comes upon saul when he saw david succeeded and even in the church there is a demonic spirit that don't want to see anybody prosper more than them we crump that demon we crush that demon this morning you can't make it i'm telling you ah can i can i can i match scripture with my scripture joseph encountered that cmd manic spirit when he talked about his dream and his vision and his aspiration to go to university and to start his business is that shall you real shall he reign over us talk to me on brother horne brother danielle encounter that same spirit when he started the well then set apart derelicts to trap him it is a live spirit the spirit of saul it is still alive in every aspect it is in family i say it is in family thank you holy ghost let me tell you in 2022 we have more cases an incident of necromancy and hobbies that we have ever have in jamaica you don't know that people try to hold long people people try to use also nothing to prosper you know you know you know it's a video with boy i drink water call us uh uh aguated buffalo spirit to get rich yeah yeah yeah moment we'll come to them i'm saying in this modern time in a matterhorn or university in no matter how much education the mindset is still bad corrupt still evil and david has to deal with that when i study david i'm amazed i'm amazed of his resilience and his commitment because saul swear i'm gonna kill him because no local yard boy can't take my kingship no yoko royale boy can strive over me i must kill this yard boy and sometime david is there and search you are traveling if god ever show you some things that people threw at you come on holy ghost if god ever show you some things some verbal things they say about you god wise you know god no tell some of you no because we can we can manage it god can we can manage it talk to me sister have god ever show you who are doing too i have got to assure you some derelicts some people your help and they hate you like door surprise doctor man some family member who you feel your name close oh my god roll back the curtains god of memories now and then show me where you are brought me from and where i could have been i want to talk to you anytime you know anytime you get a bad spirit when the bible say rejoice with those that rejoice and we put those that weep it has ticklish scripture you know because some of us love cry with people who are crying but we cannot rejoice with people who we need to rejoice with we love giant people pity party we like to you know join them and say hush not god understand but moment those persons life change and things start to happen you can know when that dirty bad mind spirit are coming at you search me oh god i know my heart i pray cfdb some wicked grudge full thought about mine where is in me talk to me or somebody you're not gonna be able to survive when you must spend time trying to succeed and work out your own strategies to make it an entire life you spend about nine people you can't move forward your world on your side so when the bible says lay aside the weight some of those weights are bad mind but david to make it to show your resilient david had to be when that spirit compensated he was an employee of saul when that spirit compensal you know who have to soothe him see him david have to get up you know david said something that is brilliant he said in the presence of my enemies talk to me in the presence of my enemies in the presence of those who don't like me in the presence of those who fight against me in the presence of those who try to stop me god still bless me it's brilliant it's brilliantly said it means that no weapon that form against me shall prosper and every tongue that lift of itself shall be condemned [Applause] he said some brilliant thing some some resilient word he said god god hide me in his pavilion think about a pavilion is a home space and he's like god hide me in our hopes talk to me about that he brilliant the sun shall not smite me by day now the moon by night a thousand shall fall at night and a thousand i will run to a troop he cannot say those things unless he has experienced it brilliant so in this context he was able to survive god was able to preserve him in spite of saul my god that one is it blow my mind the man wants to kill him but when the evil spirit compounds all it is david who have to sue them so you find that david and you hear me use that word they use it now in the corvette david have to be pivoting pivoting and that word pivot those who play netball know what that pivot is basketball use it to demand we're sure shot put on hammer and baseball both of those ports you have to have to pivot and what pivot is pivot is able to plant the fruit and to keep it flexible and to be able to turn without moving my god come on holy ghost without moving that foot off and i hear somebody remind me on christ this solid rock ice i pivot [Applause] you are you have to be able in order to be resilient you have to be able to plant your food solid because if you are if you're a netballer and you know people at any foot lift up a fold a basketball your travel come on somebody you have to be able to pivot and that's what david have to be able to do these things companies so rapidly the change is occur unexpectedly my god reverend reed he have to be able to pivot touch yourself and say pivot self pivot so so in moments without notice but it comes to a time when saul swear now this is a day i'm going to kill him and jonathan saw her own son tell david said david you have to lift up them whatever word you have to lift up some may give us some other country people who lift up me so you're not in a city and they're done send me a comfy tonight may i come for you you have to lift up you have a takeaway yourself you have to miss me if it disappear so when you live up you know you leave all your house you know you don't understand where you come from you don't understand you leave everything because a self-preservation this [Music] you can't carry a baggage you have to lift up so david huffing lift up my god i want him lift up a kiev abdullah really you know read the bible you must read the bible a key of the man god living room and i'm showing you how as believer or as a company or a country we have able to pivot from yard boy to celebrity to living around the king to know he's a refugee running away i may i tell you if you're reading a resume is an interesting reading from a shepherd to a warrior doctor in a man to a violinist that we talk about multitasking and multi-skill to a virulence not you to a psalmist at one time if you read your bible carefully for david to survive having he destroyed the philistine he had to go to survive in this very country where him destroyed and you know how him survived oh no no in the bible and he has to spit upon himself and behave like you know no sense i am coming to something you know i'm coming to something him after behave like you know have no sense talk to him in a man wear dirty clothes talk to me this guy is himself i'll win the final time this elephant him don't mash up already pivot pivot let me tell you something let me tell you something some time we have to behave like we have no sense we can't put everything up on our head we have to hear some things people saying about us and ignore it we haven't know some people doing some things against us and still come talk to me in a man you're the workplace and things set against you but you can't lift the work who gonna pay the mortgage we're gonna pay a thing you have to steer there until your change comes [Music] [Applause] am i talking am i preaching to somebody you have to steer them and be if i can have no sense like you're idiot like you're full fool talk to him in a man david do several things to survive at one time take time talk at one time in my mercenary the philistines start to employ him to go read and get the money and food talk to me not somebody but in pivot he might never left israel he might never left the lord him still i sing himself talk to him in a man i will lift up my eyes onto the hills from winds commit my help come on come on come on we still have a worship some of us must know how to pivot and worship that's a that's a theme that's a theme because somehow we pivot our foot lift up fall you fall you fall you have to be able to you can pivot and your foot lift up your you must be planted move unmovable always abound in the work of the lord for as much as you know talk to me somebody so i'm closing now and coming to the text that i read and you think that i forget it a good thing that you need to be resilient and committed is good partnerships you cannot make it on your own let me let me tell you that you cannot make it on your own you're gonna need some partnership david had to form partnership to survive this one is hard but it's biblical the first part that should be formed was jonathan who was jonathan maclan i'll do your own anion weird run a christian company some of your sponsorship and all christians hello oh no not work i'll be a christian to work with sonar guantanamoli you have to behave the part strategically and still remain your commitment if you think about solomon when he was building a temple cedar from lebanon to build a temple in our worship you know when we want to be letting demand will lead to thailand christian that's true so some of us have to get author with sanctimon yourself get out of his sanctimonious self some of your work a supermarket yourself liquor and supermarket will have a lot of lying tonight all say an hour you can talk to your boss and say you know without your respect please don't allow me to sell a lot of ticket you can't go to man please go tell them they must take out teen lotto thing the kayak david had to form an alliance a partnership with jonathan it was such a partnership that the homosexual community use it as a rallying call because the bible said that their heart was knitted and jonathan loved david more than the very love of a woman beca here was jonathan who was next in line for the kingdom and saul tell him that we must kill david there was a word if i ever put it between the whole soul of saul and the whole soul of david how do you follow me and jonathan nevertheless the lord provide david with a partner that david needed at the time david needed to know how to live in a palace salon teach him who teach him janata it is so big when jonathan came to look for david in the desert in the wilderness big big scripture and the bible said jonathan encouraged david he speak to david he said hear me david my father is against you because he know that you're gonna be king you need some partners in your life who are positive who are gonna speak into your life talk to me in a man who is gonna encourage you who is not looking anything from you so in re so in order to be resilient you have to be careful who you partner with look on the look and the contrast between joseph and his brothers they say you're kian come out to nothing before you come out do not wait hobby are you before you come out tonight we kill you talk to me in a man own blood brother but look at david and jonathan david jonathan say although i am destined if you are not around to be king i am prophesying i am declaring in you that you must make it boy parents church people i wonder if we ever get that positive and speak to some of our young people and tell them that we know you're going through hardship we know that there's no money at the end we know that things are difficult we know but you can make it talk to me that's what that's what jonathan did that's partnership that's partnership he went further he dives himself of all that he had all that belongs to him all of his future this is big now he dives himself and place it on david in other words he back up david in the wilderness remember i said i say i say diverse and he had an investiture service for david talk to me somebody he take off his royal robe you don't read the bible you don't read the bible he take off his royal robe and he placed it on david talked him into somebody he'd take off his belt his his warrior belt that of all his ammunition and place it at david talk to me now somebody he take the weapon his weapon his sword and he give it to david he said two things he said david as for me you don't need to worry about me i have your back talk to me man i give you my weapon i give you that you i have your back david ask for me you don't have to worry that i'm gonna grudge you because all that i have and all that will have come to me i am giving it to you but it did a third thing he said david i am reminding you of your purpose umpteen years ago the prophet anoint you to be king you're in the desert now and all sorts of thoughts all sorts of things that are going in your mind the devil is telling you can't make it the devil is telling you it's a mistake to go to college it's a mistake to have gotten married and the devil is telling you all kind of mess-up stuff but i've come to remind you that the prophecy that god prophesied the anointing that god put on you shall come to pass oh somebody need to magnify the lord somebody to worship him as a sometime we feel that boy it is not worth it let us pack up let us abandon this christianity thing i'm sure in gospel j a why are to dance about this make out but jonathan say hear me now you can make it talk to me somebody and that is what you must understand therefore when the bible say their heart was knitted you know i don't have time to talk about it some of the best reggae artists know every time you're here then interview them sensia even bob marley they interview bob marley and say oh wha are you getting that spirit but you know i feel the same way that with me as a follower my mother got serviced in church all are the top regular singers when you hear they ask the way they come from they say church but church of a problem church cannot nurture talent some churches and we cannot deal with people who are sounding different i remember i remember when stichi and papasan and all of these guys come back the church come out against them then they must not sing them type of not not not their words in them gospel j i'm talking about gospel we must not sing like that judy mata judy moat i tell you the church missed the biggest opportunity for a revival in jamaica not only then but danny browning mainstream a mainstream label where all of these guys produce in other words we don't know how to nurture and encourage talent that don't conform with how we know it jonathan was able to do that with david and david forever grateful to jonathan let me just run ahead and say until the next partnership that david encounter was some waste man allah some guys who society said they don't have no use some of them were in debt somebody might feel all sort of thing somebody wanted all about and the bible said david gather them scripture talk about you don't know you don't read that in your bible your bible have them think there is man the bible says no i have no worth no i have no use and david gather them come on somebody they reform them into a harmony david start a company we are troublesome now then run him out by israel but he formed a company the bible referred to them as david mighty men or mighty men of valia talk to me somebody and they were there encouraging david went and read have their family start their colonization and when we come to the text that we read having gone on a raid and come back from the negev to ziklag where they had headquarters the enemy come on again whatever is there the enemy come in and my time they're coming up the hillside they see smoke the closer they come the smelly smoke when they come everything was burned come on everything was burned and my god david just reached his waterloo he just reached the lowest point in his life their families were taken their sons their daughters were taken talk to me somebody i don't know if you ever been there when you reach rock bottom really rock bottom at the lowest point in your life and the men the same men that he formed into a group everybody started to cry the bible said they wept until there was no more strength in them they're coming from miles of raid and they were already tired they weep again they're tired of untired worse to have happened the men decide they must kill david read the bible when tammy talk nothing let me talk straight if i should use some d to describe that scenario david would have in that one scenario would have been depressed would have been defeated would have been dejected would have been delusion come on who would have ex disappointed would have would have ex would have experienced disaster we're talking about being resilient we're talking about being resilient and this is a term even the economists are talking about the jamaican economy need to be resilient marriages have to be resilient companies have to be resilient the body was make the same bones not are to pivot they make that way the ankles and the knees and the risk that they can move and i tell you david was at it now the devil start to whisper in his ears say yes this is it now get the rope get the rope get the gramason talk to him naman get tamal kawal left the church come out of the marriage david had no one no the men around him decided to stone him but here is the other piece that i'm telling you you must in order to be resilient and to be committed you must know your source of power there's a time when all of your efforts can't help you let me tell you that all your university degree all your skill or your marketing ability can help you because in spite of that you're failing and david was at a rock bottom worst part of his life children marriages everything fail around him talk to me somebody and the bible have a very sense of timing and humor because ziklag mean a very narrow place he was in a valley of depression but my god hear what my scripture tell me the bible said david markland encourage himself in the lord oh can somebody magnify him he encouraged there comes a time when dee can't encourage you the best message has passed i pray can i encourage you you have to go deep down deep cried out too deep and the bible said david encourage himself in the lord i don't want to go too much in order how he does that but it's a combination of prayer it's a combination of praise and it's a combination of the word let me tell you somebody if you're gonna able to be resilient and to be committed you have to go deep down in a prayer deep down in the world and deeply in the praise in old church they tell me we used to sing he's not my brother he's not my sister it is me o lord standing in the need of prayer in moments like these i lift up a song i lift up a song to the lord i don't know what david was doing to encourage himself but i think he was reminded of some of the songs and some of the the hymns that he used to his mother taught him and some that he go upon and some of the prophecies that was upon him hello somebody in time like these when everything is coming at you you must go deep dog into god talk to me somebody you know why some of these young people can't manage they have no word they might sound like a pop conson no strong hymn i know that i grew up i understand so my nonsense when we think my grandmother was saying when things come out upon her she was a sing he hided my soul in the cliff of the rock and cover me there talk to me of somebody deep deep deep deep song rock of ages cliff for me let me hide you'll have to go deep and david go deep and when he go deep in prayer he asks for the e father and i'm closing for the last time he asked for the father it's a lord what must i do what what what a good place to be markland sometimes when things are going right and things are going good we forget about god right now we want money we go bank now i will swipe we can one of my little boy when he was small i said boy i don't have no money he said daddy you have a card we get sick we get sick we have we have we have health insurance we go home we have microwave and we don't realize how blessed we are but it comes a time lord we don't know what to do but we know that your hands are up on us he said lord what shall i do that's a good that's a good place to be that's a good crossroad to be sometime it mean that you're gonna you're gonna you're gonna be locked in with god but david not only asked a blanket question he knows of his years of being resilient he must do something so he said lord shall i pursue shall i overtake i could see the lord said david a long time ago he asked me because david you shall pursue you shall overtake and you shall not only he asks god two things god give him tree and you shall recover all i am closing to say the big difference that we need now church is full of theory i preach and we like it and we got prior meet we like it but let me tell you something if you're going to be resilient if you're going to be committed you're going to take some practical things god tell david you must do some things practical you can destroy the zika by him you can destroy him just by fast in service talk to me you can't destroy him just by coming bible study you must pursue you must overtake and you must recover i say to this congregation i say to the wider audience built upon the commitment that we have with god built upon our worship experience it is time for us to come off our royal pasteur and start to do some work you can't survive and be resilient and committed without making some effort in other words david said though though i am tired i will not be defeated i am gonna settle by my horse again hello i am gonna gather the strength i have and i'm talking to somebody who feel that they can't go one step further david gather the courage and say despite of what the enemy have knocked me down he has kicked me to the curb he has wrecked my engine but under god under god i am going to pursue in other words i'm gonna fix my eyes upon my purpose again hello i am gonna gather myself and i'm gonna go in a straight direction to the enemy not that i'm gonna pursue i'm gonna use all the skills that god give me because i must overtake and i don't matter what the enemy comes with i don't matter how much army he has under god i'm going to overtake the story was told they find them to defeat them i close by telling you by the next two chapter that yard boy david that defeated boy david in the next two chapter in the next chapter after this saul was killed talk to me somebody and he wept and cry over saul never seek to harm him saul deadpanim one sword can i tell you someone leave vengeance to god leave vengeance to god [Applause] saul dead upon his own sword and in the next chapter resilience and commitment david was no crown king david was no crown king david was no king of israel and my god i could talk this again and his own pursuit was to bring back the arc of covenant for worship and praise i want to encourage somebody that in this time it called for resilience and commitment preparation oh it called for an empowerment it called for us to pivot and my god he start by understanding the source of our power my god praise worship and the word and i want to say to all of us it is not time to sit back it is not time to go under it is time to pursue it is time to overtake and my god of the enemy has taken everything from you it is time to recover all that the kyanka worm has
