Speaker 1: Welcome to the logo streamer are with God SEVNT Reverend
Speaker 1: Doctor Joseph b. Being, Head Pastor of Harvest Chapel International Commercy.
Speaker 1: And now to today's message.
Speaker 3: Before we take our seats, let's go Joshua one verse eight.
Speaker 3: This book of the Law shallne depart out of my mouth,
Speaker 3: but I shall meditate in it to day and night,
Speaker 3: that I may observe to do according to all that
Speaker 3: is written in it. But then I will make my
Speaker 3: way prosperous, and then I will have good success. Amen,
Speaker 3: why don't you take your seats and expressing a sweet
Speaker 3: continue discourses on our best. We can bring order into
Speaker 3: our giving lives Hae Louijah oh I said halllu Jah
Speaker 3: in May and text or uncle scripture for the month
Speaker 3: of Order in our Giving is taken from Matthew chapter six,
Speaker 3: verse twenty four. Matthew six twenty four. It says that
Speaker 3: no one can save two masters, for either he will
Speaker 3: hate the one and love the other, or else he
Speaker 3: will be loyal to the one and despise the other.
Speaker 3: You cannot save God and Mammon. And that's Jesus speaking.
Speaker 3: The message says that you can't worship to God at
Speaker 3: once love and one God, you end up hating the other.
Speaker 3: A duration of one fits contempt for the other. You
Speaker 3: can't worship God and Mama Amen. And that's a theme
Speaker 3: for the month. And as we said in our introductions
Speaker 3: in the past couple of discourses, we made it very
Speaker 3: clear that we wanted to put it into context, because
Speaker 3: once you put it in context and you have all
Speaker 3: the background drop or talk, and you're able to understand
Speaker 3: much more what God or what Jesus Christ was saying
Speaker 3: and what he meant by making such an emphatic statement
Speaker 3: in the world that and literally and Jesus didn't mean's
Speaker 3: words in the world that has seemingly deified Mammon, and
Speaker 3: no doubt Jesus refers to it that Mamon that was
Speaker 3: a spirit or the spirit behind money. Hallelujah. In a
Speaker 3: well where like someone said, it's the territories. Everyone is
Speaker 3: going for the gold, halleluiah. Gold is literally worshiped. And
Speaker 3: if you have money and the same money's power, Money
Speaker 3: brings influence, Money enables your voice to be heard in
Speaker 3: the seconds of men. And it's our world, you know.
Speaker 3: And the irony is that it has instead of it'd
Speaker 3: been seen one of the creations of God, because God
Speaker 3: created maney he says the silver is my and the
Speaker 3: gold is mine, instead of we're seeing it. We have
Speaker 3: elevated and money or wealth to such a status that
Speaker 3: we even find ourselves or with making it to compete
Speaker 3: with affection for God. And a lot of people have
Speaker 3: drifted away from kingdom values, kingdom principles, and if you like,
Speaker 3: drifted away from the old tests of God in a
Speaker 3: quest in a chase for more and more money. And
Speaker 3: the world has done a very good job at that say,
Speaker 3: has ensured that you know, oh, oh, the at risks
Speaker 3: is awful. Who gets more money? And anyone who gets money,
Speaker 3: they are rightfully healed and and paid attention to mean,
Speaker 3: you know, the belowness of this world and all that
Speaker 3: we know, all their names, they all in every community
Speaker 3: they find themselves, they compete for attention, They try to
Speaker 3: draw attention because of all that the wealth can do.
Speaker 3: You know, in a world where things are not working well,
Speaker 3: we am at all admitting that things are not working
Speaker 3: according to design. And we attempted to, as children of God,
Speaker 3: to follow the band wagon. And we all seemingly we're
Speaker 3: heading in that direction until we come to the Holy scriptures.
Speaker 3: And once we come to the Holy scriptures, now the
Speaker 3: truths of God, you know, seemingly confronts us and tries
Speaker 3: once again to warn us. And that's that statement is
Speaker 3: a very very severe warning from Jesus Christ, trying to
Speaker 3: let us know that it's not possible. If God says
Speaker 3: it's not possible, it's not possible, and more or less
Speaker 3: to invite us to make a choice, says you cannot
Speaker 3: save God. And but remember that as believers, we are
Speaker 3: redeemed to serve let Israel go. Moses told Pharaoh that
Speaker 3: him is said and serving God. That word in the
Speaker 3: Bible also means worshiping God. And remember we say worshiping God,
Speaker 3: worship is a lifestyle. It's a lifestyle. Every aspect of
Speaker 3: our being also turnine here on earth. It's a lifestyle
Speaker 3: Halene Julia. And so in a way, what Jesus was saying,
Speaker 3: you can't put money or the spirit of my Moone
Speaker 3: at the very center of your life, that you live
Speaker 3: your life wholly depending on it, only valuing chasing it
Speaker 3: to the exclusion of what God has redeemed us. Remember,
Speaker 3: like we said, God is not God created money, so
Speaker 3: he created it for a purpose. I've always argued that,
Speaker 3: you know, when we look at life and all that
Speaker 3: is happening, and that was part of the design despite
Speaker 3: the fall. If you remove all the evil and all
Speaker 3: the ills in that weld, all the pain, all the violence,
Speaker 3: and all the negativities, if you remove it, that was
Speaker 3: the kind of life that God wanted us all to be.
Speaker 3: And you remove Satan at the same time, and God
Speaker 3: is placed at the very center of our lives, then
Speaker 3: all that is going on, everything would have been centered
Speaker 3: on God. Halenluia. And that is what in the New
Speaker 3: Jerusalem or the New Heaven and Earth project, God seeks
Speaker 3: to do same will be eliminated, say time to be eliminated,
Speaker 3: and all the ills and the evil that we see
Speaker 3: in this world who no longer and God will just
Speaker 3: be the center, the deserved center of our life because
Speaker 3: He created this Halen Lujiah. Amen. So how are we
Speaker 3: going to be able to, if you like, come back
Speaker 3: and begin to understand the road of marmon in our
Speaker 3: life of worship of God and all that, except that
Speaker 3: we come to the way we are redeemed to say,
Speaker 3: we are redeemed to say, Hallelujah, we are redeemed to worship.
Speaker 3: We are redeemed to sacrifice. Halln Lujiah. So in the
Speaker 3: Samon on the Mount, as we have said, Jesus had
Speaker 3: these disciples and disciples we said, the are lenis they
Speaker 3: want to be like Jesus, the disciples. Our almost desire
Speaker 3: is to be like his master. Amen. You know, so
Speaker 3: you see the conundrome in church. You don't want to
Speaker 3: be like Jesus, like I always ask, you don't want
Speaker 3: to be like Jesus. So what are you doing in
Speaker 3: the kingdom? Amen? Harlen? Do you are not deciple? But
Speaker 3: I've always asked you work a week if I didn't
Speaker 3: want to value Jesus. I work a week, amen, And
Speaker 3: it's a choice that you have to make. Why waste
Speaker 3: your time in the kingdoms values and principles and even
Speaker 3: who's founder. You don't want to have anything to do
Speaker 3: with him, his ideals, his values and what he stands for.
Speaker 3: You don't want it, and you stay. You say you're
Speaker 3: in the kingdom. I want to be a part of
Speaker 3: the kingdom. It doesn't work. That's what he said is
Speaker 3: mutually excluenity. You can't save God and ma'am. And he's
Speaker 3: talking to the kingdom citizens. You can't save God and mam.
Speaker 3: You can't be a part of what I'm doing if
Speaker 3: you can't be able to stand the role or the
Speaker 3: proper role of money in the life of the believer,
Speaker 3: in the life of the kingdom, and in the life
Speaker 3: of what God has called us and redeemed us to
Speaker 3: be so. On the Salmon on the Mound, you know,
Speaker 3: Jesus tried to correct most of these misconceptions in life
Speaker 3: and the misplaced values, the wrong choices that as we
Speaker 3: try to follow the ratteries everyone, even those that have
Speaker 3: been called into the Kingdom of God, some way, we
Speaker 3: are unable to lead the values that we learned growing
Speaker 3: up the old man. Once again that we're talking about
Speaker 3: the old man. And as we have said, or as
Speaker 3: you and I, God has charged us and we are
Speaker 3: learning from his presence to cooperate with him. So we
Speaker 3: can deconstruct the old man, the old must go and
Speaker 3: the new match springer. But then, as we keep on
Speaker 3: saying it's a process, how are we going to get
Speaker 3: the values match change attitudes, mass change behaviors, mass change
Speaker 3: choices must be God andry. And that is what Jesus
Speaker 3: so to educate his disciples about in the Salmon on
Speaker 3: the Mouth, how they do here. And I believe that
Speaker 3: that is why, that is why God has taken us
Speaker 3: to the very beginning in chapter five is one. As
Speaker 3: we go down, before we get to six twenty four,
Speaker 3: we want to put it in context. What what Jesus saying?
Speaker 3: What what else did he say that day? How did
Speaker 3: he go about his talk? You know? So now once
Speaker 3: we came to six twenty four and we have the
Speaker 3: f shaking statement, you know, then we can put it
Speaker 3: in context and not say God doesn't want us to
Speaker 3: be money or for that matter, Yeah, I believe in
Speaker 3: the king and say, God wants me to be poor. No,
Speaker 3: that is not it, Amen. That is why it gives
Speaker 3: us all the skills and all the competencies that we
Speaker 3: need to be able to be relevant in this life
Speaker 3: and to be able to advance the needs of the kingdom. Harley.
Speaker 3: So we started that, and I'm compelled to go over
Speaker 3: again and again. You know, initially I said, we're going
Speaker 3: to read through the semonument, reading through from phase five
Speaker 3: aftill we get six. And we were doing it in
Speaker 3: a hurry, you know, and Goes said, little forts, hold on, amen,
Speaker 3: because the key thing before we can get to five
Speaker 3: twenty four is the attitude na change. Remember what we
Speaker 3: always say, thoughts words, actions, They shape us. That defines us, Amen,
Speaker 3: thoughts words, actions, and it comes from the environment, the
Speaker 3: environment in which we grew up, character shaped by temperament
Speaker 3: and then the environment. Fine, we all inherited. Badge is
Speaker 3: from Satan, but you and I in the kingdom because
Speaker 3: we have changed our environment, we have changed our address.
Speaker 3: Haly luas. So God can work on us and rape
Speaker 3: this the damage that has been done and help us
Speaker 3: to really, if you like, be re educated and construct
Speaker 3: better values kingdom values that can help if you like
Speaker 3: God moreed us. He's regenerating us the power of worst.
Speaker 3: But it's all about worst. The worst is eventually what
Speaker 3: is going to dictate and define the kind of things
Speaker 3: that we think about our top life, and then the
Speaker 3: worst we speak, and then the actions that we take.
Speaker 3: So you look at it and as we realize that
Speaker 3: most of the first part of the teaching were all
Speaker 3: about attitude, not change, because Jesus knows that if he
Speaker 3: can get us having that artitue not change which is
Speaker 3: going to shape our behavior, going to modern ate our
Speaker 3: choices in this life, we begin to reflect God, will
Speaker 3: become image bearers of God. When people see us, they
Speaker 3: will see as semblance of God. And they were saying, indeed,
Speaker 3: these are the children of God. Amen. Remember us, we
Speaker 3: are saying, as part of the new Man project. When
Speaker 3: we go somewhere, we don't need to open our back.
Speaker 3: When people meet us, they must know we are children
Speaker 3: of God. The choices, even the speak, the choice of
Speaker 3: your words, Hallnluiah, the choice of your words. Amen. Sometimes
Speaker 3: we just we just want to be like the people
Speaker 3: of the Word. We are looking so much for them
Speaker 3: to embrace and to endorse us. I believe that your
Speaker 3: language must change. Say amen, Halenluiah, Amen, you must begin
Speaker 3: to speak well. He says, that's man, That's what we're
Speaker 3: doing is a conversation. So thankfully we've gone over that,
Speaker 3: Helen Louiah. Amen. So that so we are talking here about,
Speaker 3: as we say, the be attitudes. Let it be your attitude.
Speaker 3: We are talking about values, the samon on the man.
Speaker 3: We're talking about principle. Choice is behaviors, and these will
Speaker 3: ultimately shape our characters and determine the outcome of our lives.
Speaker 3: Let us always remember, for you and I. And it's
Speaker 3: also one of the key messages of the Gospel. We
Speaker 3: are palegrims heading somewhere in life. Turn to someone saying
Speaker 3: I'm heading somewhere in life, Helen Loujah. And when we
Speaker 3: say heavy somewhere, then immediately people say, oh, yeah, I'm
Speaker 3: going to be somebody, you know, a billoonnee. And No,
Speaker 3: the believer, whether believer, is heading, it's not heading towards
Speaker 3: celebrated statutes or cold statutes where people begin to worship
Speaker 3: you and then you dave by yourself. No, you see
Speaker 3: a believer humble and then growing up and then very
Speaker 3: very much willing to be shaped with the values of
Speaker 3: the Gospel. And then they grow up and then they
Speaker 3: give them a position. Oh, they graduate, and then they
Speaker 3: land the affairs job. Not as everybody else is being paid.
Speaker 3: They are giving him the main salaries in dollars, then
Speaker 3: the other one the other allowances are and then UK
Speaker 3: pounds and then the travel allowances are paid in euros.
Speaker 3: Oh my god. Sooner later they stop coming to church.
Speaker 3: Halen Loujah. They man know we are heading somewhere in life.
Speaker 3: Remember life. We said there's only one life to live.
Speaker 3: But then there are two chapters and then to destinations.
Speaker 3: In chapter two. The choices that we are making here
Speaker 3: in this life were determine our final destination. And that's
Speaker 3: why the attitude natchaate is key. No doubt, Jesus decided
Speaker 3: to address the when you see mine when you get
Speaker 3: to the workplace, and then praise God. Praise God. If
Speaker 3: they give you all and you become a billoonnare and
Speaker 3: you are paid in millions of diars, it's praiseworthy. But
Speaker 3: how is it going to affect you? The values, the
Speaker 3: choices and ultimately your behavior, how is it going to
Speaker 3: affect you? No doubt In Jesus is the disciples. The
Speaker 3: word shocked. When Jesus said that it is easier for
Speaker 3: a camel to go through the eye of a needle
Speaker 3: bound for a rich man to enter into the Kingdom
Speaker 3: of God. You see the competing interest. The spirit of
Speaker 3: my mond comes in and then it tells the rich,
Speaker 3: no way. You have to change. Now that you have
Speaker 3: you can command a lot of money. You have to
Speaker 3: change your attitude. People must worship you. And the immediately
Speaker 3: your language began to change. Like as we are saying,
Speaker 3: the accidents is starts from here the thought life, and
Speaker 3: then the words, and then the behaviors follow natural Halen Louiah.
Speaker 3: A man life is not a merry go round that
Speaker 3: ends nowhere in no way. And you and I as believers,
Speaker 3: let them. Let the world chase after the spirit of
Speaker 3: my mom. But we know where we are going. So
Speaker 3: even when we are well paid, hey, we know we
Speaker 3: know why God. We needn know why God will pay
Speaker 3: us well because there's a kingdom to be built. There's
Speaker 3: a kingdom to be built, there are lives to be changed,
Speaker 3: and then become a generous giver. Look at what happened
Speaker 3: to the kingdom, Look at what Happening Act had the
Speaker 3: inauguration of the church Harlen Louis when Joseph and ban
Speaker 3: Blabads went and sold everything and then brought it to
Speaker 3: the disciple. They were need. They were going back home.
Speaker 3: So some that they didn't create, you know, are convent
Speaker 3: where they were now known because the Bible said they
Speaker 3: were even visiting each other in their room, so everyone
Speaker 3: stayed in their own immediately they identifiedly maybe we les
Speaker 3: call it. They had a welfare system and people were
Speaker 3: giving and donating generously into the welfare system. The just
Speaker 3: in case people have this, let's mobilized, let's help. We
Speaker 3: have one brothers and sister. We are heading in the
Speaker 3: same direction. We are going to the same place, and
Speaker 3: we need to help each other. We are understanding of
Speaker 3: wealth changed. That is why they could go and sell all.
Speaker 3: The Bible says they went and sold all, so that
Speaker 3: they brought it for redistribution, for wealth redistribution. And the
Speaker 3: Bible tell doesn't tell us that they became poor. It
Speaker 3: means that today they also had some amen. So when
Speaker 3: we talk about giving order and giving, I don't say
Speaker 3: want all your money to church and then go and
Speaker 3: then suffer with your children. No way, that's not the
Speaker 3: teaching Halene Lujah by even that when being ordered, and remember,
Speaker 3: the believer is someone whose life and footsteps are ordered
Speaker 3: by the Lord. The Holy Spirit will whisper to you
Speaker 3: what to take amen, So investue. He read, and he
Speaker 3: opened his mouth and taught to them, and he said,
Speaker 3: Blessed have the poor in spirit? Isn't it attitude? He's
Speaker 3: talking about attitude. Blessed are the poor in spirit? For
Speaker 3: this is the Kingdom of God. This is the Kingdom
Speaker 3: of God. You understand the Kingdom of God, which is
Speaker 3: where we get to go in chapter two of our Lives,
Speaker 3: which is why we were just saying that they believer
Speaker 3: is somebody who is not just going nowhere, but nos destination.
Speaker 3: We know where we are going. That is why the
Speaker 3: Bible in the Heroes eleven will talk about Abraham and
Speaker 3: the Patriarchs and all the heroes in the Bible, heroes
Speaker 3: and heroes, and it says that they knew where they
Speaker 3: were going. They were called themselves aliens and so Janus.
Speaker 3: They said they were going to a city whose builder
Speaker 3: and foundations were laid by God, not by men. Where
Speaker 3: hurricane is there a hurricane or whatever earthquake will just
Speaker 3: flatten it in seconds. No, Souse, immediately you you understand
Speaker 3: and appreciates these truths. Your values changed in whenever Webin
Speaker 3: sees you didn't know. You know what you're doing. That's
Speaker 3: what means. You know where you are heading and you
Speaker 3: know how to put if you like the spirit of
Speaker 3: my mom in its proper place. Halenelujah amen. So that's
Speaker 3: the first attitude said. Let this be your attitude, poor
Speaker 3: in spirit, for this is the kingdom of God. Their
Speaker 3: hearts are fixated that look this well is because like
Speaker 3: we almost say, you won't die. That is what gives
Speaker 3: you an idea that this is not our destination. And
Speaker 3: the Bible headcates us from Genesis. It tells us our
Speaker 3: words happy. He tells us about upcoming judgment. And we're like,
Speaker 3: we say, when you die, you're not just going to
Speaker 3: move you into or believe you or no, it won't happen.
Speaker 3: You will appear before our maker and give an account
Speaker 3: of how we live our life. That's what we mean.
Speaker 3: But we know where we are going, and we don't
Speaker 3: want together and stand before God and be found guilty.
Speaker 3: No of having wasted his spirit, wisted his resources, wasted everything.
Speaker 3: No harn do here? Can you tell and whisper to
Speaker 3: somebody that I know where I'm going? Amen? So humble
Speaker 3: spare poor in spirit, humble hearts. They are receptive to
Speaker 3: the word of God. They acknowledge God as Savior and Lord,
Speaker 3: and they are prepared to do anything to please God
Speaker 3: and to end a place in the Kingdom of God.
Speaker 3: Say a begay man. And then we looked at verse
Speaker 3: four and verse four said, God, blessed are those who mourn,
Speaker 3: for they shall be comforted. Mourning in what way self
Speaker 3: denial of the ungodly lifestyle and all the comforts of
Speaker 3: this world. That literally, the Bible says that those who
Speaker 3: go chasing after these things pleas is God. Because God
Speaker 3: didn't create that's idolatry. Amen. God didn't create us to
Speaker 3: chase after the idols and the creation suppossible. Always say
Speaker 3: they worship the Creator and so of the Creator. No,
Speaker 3: Halen Loujia, No, that's not it, Halen Lujah, Amen. But
Speaker 3: rather we chase for and worship the Creator. He becomes
Speaker 3: number one in our lives, giving choices. We choose God,
Speaker 3: hondering choices, Halen Louier, Amen.
