the name of Jesus right there come on TV TV near one gospel praise TV Facebook YouTube live CRC online radio stations Correctional Facilities listen listen I want to say this and and he's going to come and give it on our platform at some stage one of the ministers he was watching us in prison now I I you know the Minister of Justice said to me don't say prisons okay those days it was prisons now we call it Correctional Facilities he watched the program and he got saved and he came to church and he got saved again and now God is using him and God is going to use him watch that space whether you like it or not God uses people God can take you from anywhere and take you to where God wants to take you if you live a life of purpose can you say Amen today amen so I [Music] whop God will never leave you where he finds you because God loves you and God has a great plan with your life also God has a great plan with South Africa Russia welcome that War better stop in Jesus name Israel welcome we pray that war stops peace to Jerusalem but peace to Gaza as well in Jesus name America we welcome you Europe Iran India Pakistan China and all over Africa listen there's hope in South Africa we had an amazing meeting I want to say this with the minister of Education what a fantastic amazing young leader God has raised up there I said you know a very robust meeting cuz I said we've had a lot of meetings with politicians that don't listen to us they don't respond to anything we have an open door so those of you that worry about the education of your children you don't have to worry you any prescribed book that you're unhappy about anything you're unhappy about we met with her and 17 of all the leader the person who draws up the curriculum everybody we spoke about the language issue that no school will be under threat because of language no one will be under threat we spoke about our Christian ethos in South Africa and we said this will be protected we are a Christian country in Jesus name so you better believe that God God has raised up and God is raising up the right people in power in South Africa I was extremely inspired when I left that meeting because uh she's only 35 years old but how old must you be for God to use you and uh she said we no we can't do this alone previous other people thought they could do it alone and our suggestion is bring r i back to school because of the crime the drugs we have the highest PR teenage pregnant pregnancies in in in the world and uh made it very clear this is a moral issue it's not an educational issue you've taken the church out give the church its rightful space give God his place back in South Africa so we are going to see every school open and we are going to go into partnership also with uh and it's not about political parties because uh I don't see them as a minister of a political body I see them uh fulfilling a position and uh I have taken that slogan a child in sport is a child out of court so we will adopt that and we will engage wherever we can starting here with Estus we will get this government responsible to build sport fields and we will Avail ourselves amen coaches and Christians to go train children and keep them all the streat and give them a future and a Hope come on that's why we are here today not just to sing Hallelujah on a Sunday but we are the salt and we are the light come on give somebody a high five and say to them your best days are ahead of you in Jesus [Music] name God bless you thank you for being here this morning how many if you feel God is stirring in your hearts to do something no come on you better do better than that okay I'm stirred to be on this platform otherwise I could have been in bed this morning I could have been in Hawaii I could have been in Marius I could have been anywhere else but I'm here because God stirred me cuz God's got a plan for my life and I'm fighting some fantastic flu symptoms at the same time any case so I believe that God is stirring fires of Revival in each one of us and I want to talk about the purpose of the story cuz when we miss purpose we miss the mark so you're going to get all fired up and think I'm going to make more money than the question has to be for what so we have to talk about the purpose of the stirring cuz I believe too many during Co and after Co disconnected from their primary purpose and I want to say it's all about God's kingdom I'm going to say it again it's all about God's kingdom it doesn't help we stand your hon a Sunday and we say we crown you king of glory but on a Monday we forget that he's king of glory in our businesses in our personal lives we crown him king of glory every day every moment we honor him as our king of glory oh come on shout amen and somebody that wants to give God a praise give him a praise right now in Jesus name so I want to say that before the return of Jesus there will be the greatest outpouring of the holy ghost that this world has ever seen but that outpouring is not coming from Heaven that already happened it's going to come through you and me over so God will restore his church in glory because God said I will come back for a Victorious triumphant Church in coovert the devil tried to put his foot on the church during the Olympic Games with the opening those fools mocked Christ and mocked Christianity and what happened when the enemy comes in like a SP like a flood the spirit of the Lord lifp up and standed against him and conservative Christians gathered all over Europe and began and to magnify the name of Jesus Christ come on because that name is still above every other name they can try and push their agenda but the Holy Ghost is much more power than those Devils of hell that are trying to corrupt our children and corrupt our future God is raising up a standard and it's our time to arise and shine listen my brother sister it's your time to arise and shine and get engaged in the things of God not to be a sofa Christianity and I pray many of you back in church after last week it's great to be able to preach to in your homes if you're in a hospital but if you've just become a television follower please get yourself back to church because you cannot substitute the presence of God like this through online Christianity try it with your wife and let's see how that goes so so that that kind of Christianity once a week where we just log in and then we log out he not going to keep us connected with a purpose that God has for our lives and inevitably will cause us to become unspiritual and we are going to talk about these things because your spirit life is everything it's not part of your life you are a spirit being we have to get you to focus on your spirit life first before before we talk about your business before we talk about your marriage before we talk about anything else we have to get you to understand who you are and what your primary purpose is in life not even to raise your kids your primary purpose is to serve God to love God with all your heart soul and and all your might say Amen today so with this promise the intercessors please Zechariah 10 the Bible says ask the Lord for rain in the time of the latter rain we have to pray like never I said we have to pray like never we have to pray for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon our schools our University our country our world like never I want you for 10 seconds this morning in your own language to lift your hands and ask God for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon your life ask him because you have not because you ask not ask him touch my dog touch my cat touch my my wife touch my irritating neighbor touch my sister that has backsliding ask the Lord for a move in your life come and ask [Music] him amen then the Bible says in Psalm 2:8 ask of me and I will give you the Nations for your inheritance then we start the lady brain but now we're preaching all over the world because we dare to pray this word we're getting so many people saved in Muslim countries and our Christmas production is going to be absolutely brilliant it's going to be mind-blowing because we are going to uh talk about Jesus from different Vantage points that um is very clever very smart very intellectual so that nobody can debate that he is the Messiah because even the Muslims acknowledge he is the anointed prophet and I want to tell you that Jesus is the anointed Prophet I said Jesus is the anointed prophet he said I will build my church and the Gates of Hell will not Prevail so Hai 2:6 the Bible says for thus says the Lord once more in a little while I will shake the Heaven and the earth and the Sea and the dry land and I will shake All Nations you know um when the devil put Christ on the cross he thought it was a master stroke but it wasn't his master stroke it was God's Master stroke so these clever people in the world that are so vocal and so outspoken about pushing their agendas you know what is happening it is Awakening the moderate Christians it is Awakening the sleeping Christians that said enough is enough I will raise my boy as a boy I will raise my girl as a girl I will not be ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ say Amen somebody in the name of Jesus Christ so there is a shaking but it's for the glory of God because the rulers of the world think they are in control they're not God is using them to fulfill his agenda to awaken his church because the church is asleep I said to the minister we are 80% Christian then if you count the Muslims they're about 1 something per. and uh other religions you get to about 90% then there are 10% people that say there is no God good luck to them when you die good luck to you on that day but the religious sector has been s side sidelined because people or pastors have been taught to be a man of God you have to to be compliant and you have to be soft and you just have to roll over well Jesus was absolutely not that when he saw them doing business in the temple he made a whip and he beat them all out of the temple because they occupied the space that was reserved for the Gentiles so so get over this soft compromising non-confrontational Christianity we are the salt I didn't say we judge people we we are the salt we are the light we have to stand for truth and we have to say enough is enough we have been Educators in our church Johannesburg many many many politicians that come to our church as a matter of fact when I went there half the people I met there uh say I introduce him say oh pastor we come to your church people of influence now my my beautiful brother my beautiful sister God placed you there for influence and uh listen and and and we go down and we check out and uh in the waiting room and Andre stole my my my number to get out so I couldn't get out so lady comes there she says can I help you very dignified beautiful woman and I say say oh I recognize you are you are you Pastor I said I am he I felt it like a Jesus moment okay she says so bless me that's what I love about people that are not to White [Music] [Applause] sorry I'm not inabit of rubbing my nose but um it's itchy so um she says pray for me I pray for the power of God he so right there now Andre runs to catch her because she's standing there and she's starting to go like and I'm just blessing and I mean there God shows up boom God just a power of gods there and and and I realized because I went there and I was sick like a dog I actually wanted to cancel the meeting and I thought no this is too important there's certain things you don't cancel this is Destiny so I still win and and and and they had an open door and opportunity to speak and I said to that Minister honor and respect you I will say it publicly on television we have hundreds and hundreds of thousands people watch she's a woman of God I pray uh and all the team that was with her that God will uh bless her with the right counselors and the right people but now what I'm saying is educate us we don't criticize now now there's a book Within appropriate pictures now there's a a a book uh uh that they tell kids to read which is ungodly immoral you bring it you bring it they gave us the commitment that they will take it out of the education system immediately amen come on that's a victory I said that's a victory Hallelujah that was a commitment that's why I sted publicly they made that commitment so if the they they bring to your children and obviously we spoke about the transgender uh kit that they want to bring to the children that most of you are not even aware of 50 page uh thing that they've drawn up which is uh uh and obviously your past is a bit outspoken financed from Belgium uh you say what's this got to do with Christianity absolutely everything cuz you're perverting and polluting our children and we will not stand for it okay and we're not going to have Europe Finance our morals in South Africa not the Canadians no go back to Canada and mess up your own country not the Belgium go back to Belgium and mess up your own country this is Africa this is Africa this is God's land this is where Revival will start come on help your pastor today and give him a praise in Jesus name come [Music] on so if God's going to do anything is always going to put the right person in the right place and that means you cuz you're not an accident wherever you are God placed you there because God has a purpose for you to advance his kingdom not to increase your Lifestyle Christianity is not about Lifestyle Christianity is about purpose people say are you a Prosperity preacher I say in your face no I'm a purpose preacher seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these other things will be added unto you purpose so the people that chase after money never get money in any case because God's blessing is not attached to your pursuit of money as a matter of fact money is the least it's the lowest your Pursuit is God and God's kingdom then the money and provision will follow say Amen this morning so he says I will shake the Nations they shall come to the desire of all Nations and I will fill this temple with my glory says the Lord the silver is mine not the world I own it and if you can't part with it for God's kingdom God will find somebody else the gold is mine says the Lord he says the glory of the latter house will be greater than the glory of the former house hay 2 says it shall come to pass in the latter days that the mountain of the Lord's House God's kingdom his church shall be established on top of all other mountains so where the devil tried to discredit the Church of Jesus God himself will Elevate the church and there's no devil in hell that can stop what God is about to do in South Africa and in Africa for his glory in jesus' name amen so now let's get into the message I have like uh 180 minutes left Hai chapter 1 he says in in the second year of King Darius in the sixth month on the first day of the month the word of the Lord came by Hagi who is a prophet to zerob Bobble of son of Shel Governor politician so there's a prophet there's a politician and to Joshua the son of jehos and there's a priest we are not changing South Africa as priests and Prophets alone we need influence with people in government listen to me that's why we pray for people in government we pray for people in education we pray for God to put the right people in powers of authority because when Satan has a plan he finds a man when God has a plan he finds a man so when Satan has an agenda to take our I religious instruction out of schools or prayer out of schools it is always led by an individual now we want pray back and and and and and we want more than and I'm outspoken because I'm feeding all commitments made we want pray back in our schools not imposing our belief on Muslims and Jews but we want our Christian children to be able to be trained in the ways of God as it was we want prayer back in schools if you believe that today say Amen with me in Jesus name right because no legislation can reform a human heart so when the spirit of God moves to change a nation God starts with a church and that it has to affect other levels of society especially politicians brother you may not like some politicians but they have the power I mean with this Bell bable there were over 200,000 objections and it's just going ahead well it's no longer in the department of educ education's hands and there are things good about the bill but there are things that are not good about the bill it's now on our president's table and we pray God that God the spirit of God will will will lead him and guide him we pray that in the name of Jesus because I made it clear I say just like this once you pass it as a bill it becomes a law and if we violate anything we become criminal that means you criminalize our faith you are like you already have criminalized the discipline of children in the hope you may not smack your and the Bible says smack his little body because there's a Divine link from his little body to his mind the Bible doesn't say have a psychological conversation with him the Bible says I'm not going to say it because some haters are going to take this um Bible says just move your child I I get with that comes from kids that were abused but we throw the baby out with the bath water can we find the middle ground teaches fear for their lives to go to school two weeks ago a a teacher in in in in quisel was shot in the class by a student they're afraid to go to school you know why it's not rocket science discipline has been taken out of schools the children have the authority not the teachers so how do you fix it reverse [Applause] [Music] it ow us let talk English for the Russians um and it's like they talk to their child like 100 times in the supermarket orever it's like raising a child is not a debate do you get do you even understand that young parents you said but I don't believe in this what do you believe in because there's God's word and then there's other ways I raised my children God's word and they are now 33 32 and 30 and still if I talk to them they listen I don't debate it's not a discussion amen but I say no it's no I'm doing righteously but but but but if if if if people aren't taught these things then a Child Left to himself brings his mother to shame so the problem is not with a child you don't have a delinquent child you have a delinquent parent or a delinquent dysfunctional school system the child is the product of the environment so so so we complain about the rape and We complain about the incest And We complain about uh the pregnancies and the drug abuse Etc it's not that child's fault it's the system the system failed them and them them politicians better allow the church to help them to fix the system to get our children back on track in South Africa say Amen in Jesus name so he comes to uh the governor then he comes to the high priest and he says thus speaks the Lord thus says the Lord the time has not come that time that the Lord's House should be built then he went then the word of the Lord came by Hagi the prophet saying is it time for you yourself to dwell in your own panel houses now maybe you don't live in a panel house maybe you live in a whatever house the issue is not about your physical location the issues being caught up with your own life and living a life unto yourself and for yourself and not serving your greater purpose which is God's kingdom first remember your assignment and Mission as a lawyer as an architect as a doctor as a teacher is subject to your purpose a lot of people will say myp purpose is to be a doctor no that's not your purpose that's your assignment that's your mission your purpose is to establish God's Kingdom for the glory of God your purpose is above your assignment your purpose has to be attached or your assignment has to be attached to your purpose otherwise people go flaky people without purpose go flaky especially people that make money they go flaky so your assignment has to serve your purpose not the other way around are you listening so so the house of God is not in a good place because everybody begins to live for themsel that's what Co did what did Co do Co isolated people put people in their homes and still today people are struggling to break that demonic pattern that was developed and I'm not criticizing you I'm I'm grateful you are young but with all due respect you're running your race I'm running my race to be gone every second week and think it's okay you better rethink that to always be on holiday and you think that's okay you better rethink that to not raise your children in the house of God and you think that's okay you better rethink that you better rethink the purpose of your life you better rethink your service of God that I was glad when they said let us go to the house of God a day in the courts of God is is better than anywhere else so it's easy to get caught up in your mission assignment and then disconnect from your purpose and when you disconnect from your your purpose you become an unspiritual person because a a Kingdom purposeless Life equals a purposeless life because you will die one day you will stand before God one day and God is not going to reward you for how big a surgery you built God is going to reward you for how many people you touched through that surgery leading them to Christ financing his kingdom doing the work of God because the only thing that God is interested in is his kingdom not my ego not my bank balance he Kingdom thank you for the one hand clap amen the only thing so it's easy to serve God and after a while people disconnect and they get comfortable and Casual in the way they serve God and um things begin to wne that child backslides this happens that happens because your whole life flows from your connection to God and his kingdom your entire life flows from your connection to God and his kingdom not sitting disconnected cuz people say to this yeah but I serve God in my practice or in my business um etc etc I said no no no no no part of your service to God is to get yourself in the house of God and to worship God to get yourself in the house of God to dress your children on a Sunday morning and to raise them in the ways of God come on to train them in the ways of God come on say Amen today in Jesus name these people say it's time for you to live in your own panel houses and the temple to line RS therefore thus says the Lord consider your ways something we all have to do all the time consider our ways we are good at considering other people's ways but God says consider your own way which is very difficult for people to do self evaluation cuz it's easy to say I'm doing this because you did this or you did this or you did this or I was hurting that church or I was offended over there or this happened over there or who hasn't been offended by somebody who hasn't been hurt I've gone to many doctors and they've hurt me badly okay I've gone to airports and they canceled the flight doesn't mean I'm never going to climb on a flight again so don't treat the church with this day and disre god well I went there and I got offended really and when the bank manager didn't give you a loan are you also offended that you cancel your your your check account when your food came cold did you also say I'm never going to go to a restaurant again no so why do you do it to the church h Hello up there are you up there are you just a picture up there wave with me so he says you have sewn much and bring little you work hard it's not working you eat but do not have enough you drink but you're not filled with drink you party but the void remains you have a great social life but you're empty on the inside you clothe yourself but no one is well or warm and you put who earns wages earns wages to put in a back with holes therefore thus says the Lord second time consider your ways consider your ways go up to the mountains and bring wood and build the temple now he says everybody goes the last instruction Jesus gave was go and the wood he talks about is your time your treasure your talent what God gave you what God gave you use it to advance his kingdom use it work in the children's church join the music department become a home Cale leader become a counselor Steward your gift if God blesses you financially give according to your faith give generously in Jesus name live to see the kingdom of God expand not God bless me then I will no you go to the mountain you get what you can and you build my house some of you are so gifted and you're doing nothing nothing you are gifted orators you can be teaching in the bible school you can be running uh business Ministries you can be running women's Ministries you can help with uh the crashes for Africa there are so many things you can do but one thing you cannot do is just live a life unto yourself because everything about Christianity is to give Beyond yourself to clothe the naked to feed the hungry to visit those in prison to take care of the orphans be to be the hands and the feet of Jesus right not to use Christianity as a means to an end because there's no Christian teaching theology that teaches Christianity as a means to an end Christianity brings you to purpose Jesus says follow me and I will make you a fisher of men why cuz the only thing you can take to Heaven are people and I'm not saying as a doctor you have to Bible bash everybody but you better be spiritual while running that practice and you better be tuned into the Holy Ghost because that patient sitting there may never have another chance to see a doctor again and God can Trigg you like this to say to that person you don't know what's heading that person's way that person can die in an accident so that person can uh uh uh go through a disaster God sent that person to you and if you are tuned in to the Holy Ghost G you will be tuned into the spirits of people and you will allow God to use you in the marketplace as your primary purpose when you go to that theater God used me today when you go as that Advocate as that architect not caught up in your own ego and pride but being caught up in the purpose of God and taking the presence of God wherever you are what else is there worth living for cuz you can eat one steak a day right drive one one car at a time living one bed so going away all the time has not made you happier because in his presence is fullness of joy so God says go go consider your ways consider your ways what's he say consider the way you serve me consider the the primary purpose of your life consider whether you've moved away from the way you served me before consider your ways not uh and many young couples all over the world it's a trend after Co thought well what's life all about now life for them has become me my wife and my two children we just want to spend time together all the time really can you give me the scripture for that it doesn't exist that's that's and I know it may offend you but this Prophet was very direct he said consider your ways because this life of living for yourself and unto yourself and the only thing that matters is you and every conversation is about you and and and and the center of everything is your crisis everybody has to listen to your life I suggest you get over yourself and I suggest you get a purpose bigger than yourself and Beyond yourself and I suggest you begin to use the gifts and the talents that God gave you so that God can bless you so you can find a fulfillment on the inside come on in in the name of Jesus Christ that's who we are that's what God called us to do to build the house of God so so so the prophet comes and my time is up and I haven't even started um and he and he talks and and like always in any crowd there are those that hear there are those that listen And Then There are those that respond what the same in in in in in the times of Jesus that's why the Bible always talks about the remnant of the people because everybody the same thing but there's always a Remnant that responds that's why Jesus always said he that have ears to hear Let Him hear so so drop to vers2 then Z Zer the son of shalel and Joshua the son of JC the high priest with all the remnant of the people obeyed the voice of the Lord their God and the words of agar the prophet as the Lord God sent him and the people feared fear meaning respected reverences the presence of God not wise in their own opinion reverence to reverence God is when the word of God comes you humble yourself you lower yourself you don't stand up on the inside so when the word of God comes respect means means you lower yourself not you harden yourself you don't push back you reverence be it unto me according to thy will although it may sometimes be a very direct word which requires you to change your ways that's why God says consider your ways please television audience I love you I know some of you on foreign countries you can't get to a church but if you're living in boria get yourself back to the house of God please God bless you love you [Applause] Amen in blooman North I'll I'll I'm having a meeting in the church in blooman North so only if you live beyond a certain Street are you welcome if you live in the south I'm sorry only the people in the north allowed so so so so so so so they receive listen they receive with respect what is it about our human nature that we think we are we can outsmart God in our thinking what is it in that our human nature that we think we are somebody always said more clever than God what is it it's the pride that's still rooted in our flesh the eye that never died the thing jesus takes away from you I sent a word of sin the I must die so that when the word of God comes your heart melts not you go and find 10 reasons to argue because these people might have had economic tough times I don't know it's not the issue God says what comes first is my house you build my house you serve my purpose you put me first Matthew 6:33 I mean Jesus said exactly the same zek vers the kingdom of God is righteousness all these things will be added unto you verses preceding that he said don't even worry about your life what you will eat drink etc etc for for the the the nations of the world seek these things but you pursue God first you can't serve two masters you will love the one hate the other cleave to the one and leave the other you cannot serve God in money you cannot run after money you you you serve God's assignment for your life then the money will come in God's timing are you listening to me money comes as you serve God's purpose when you disconnect from God's purpose the chances of pretty good money is going to leave you just please hear me and and it might sound like a heavy statement do do we understand that we can't outsmart God do we actually understand that God knows us better than we know ourselves do we understand that God knows every thought every intention of our heart no matter what we say with our mouths he knows exactly what drives us he knows what the insecurity is he knows everything and he will not share you with anything else that's why coming to Christ means surrender thy will be done thy kingdom come now you serve God not to get when when when when Peter gave Jesus his boat he twed all night he caught nothing he never thought okay Jesus I'm going to give you my boat then you better fill my boat with fish no he just gave Jesus the boat for purpose then Jesus says to him launch out into the deep and and he caught that great number of fish we know the story so the prophet comes and then what happens is what I saw with this Minister the spirit of God stirs up the prophet the spirit of God stirs up the politician spirit of God stirs up the priest which we are all priests in God's Kingdom right and then the spirit of God stirs up the the remnant of the people not even all the people and they came and they worked and it's a prophetic book this it's uh towards the end of the Old Testament and um the Bible says if we go to Hagi chapter 3 or two the latter part he says from this time that you set your heart back he says now consider this the first thing he says is consider what you are doing wrong then God says to him consider now because you've set your heart back and because you have come to lay the foundation of my kingdom from this day I will open the heavens and from this day I will bless you and from this day things will be different in your life because you have returned to your purpose come on you have returned to your first love you have given God preeminence in your life again listen Psalm 127 says unless the Lord build the house the labor in vain unless the Lord keeps the city The Watchman rises in vain your attempts will come to nothing without God's blessing in your life with God God's anointing upon your life that's why the stirring that he's taking place the first stirring is not about your life is about your life in in in in in relation to God get yourself if you're not leave back to God write to God back to church back to home cell back to the pre meeting back to the Children's Place where God called you get yourself back to your purpose so that God can bless your assignment get yourself back to your purpose purpose so God can bless your assignment your assignment will not be blessed outside of your purpose will not cannot because Jesus is coming back for his church he's coming back for his kingdom a glorious Kingdom and every one of us are called to be Builders of God's kingdom to build a house of God we're not just talking about finances we're talking about your gift your time your treasure because you know I I I think I'm also a little quite busy but you find time right for what matters and if God matters you find time you find time me there was a time you were willing to get up early dress up put up your makeup uh uh dress your kids and then Co came along and put you in this comfortable mode like H we still watch and we're still okay and now what's going to happen to those kids do not train them in the ways of God what's happening to you you are disconnecting from God you are disconnecting from the things of God you can think you can do online listen my brother my sister you cannot do online you only you cannot it you cannot the it's nowhere in the Bible the Bible talks about the Fellowship of the Saints the Bible says do not neglect the assembling of yourself together as the manner of some is exalt one another even more the day you see you see the day approaching coming together like like this is critical and crucial for your spiritual well-being and for you to remain rooted in your purpose which is to expand God's kingdom because while you worship God as a lawyer Advocate architect engineer a politician God will talk to you yeah and stir your spirit and you can make one decision in your department that influences millions of children's lives because you are a person submitted to the lordship of Jesus Christ submit it that's why we don't do it our way we do it his way that's why there are certain things we do because it shows our acknowledgment or our dependence upon God and His grace so when Jesus writes to the church he says you're neither hot nor cold I wish you were hot or cold because when you're cold you know you're cold you know siners don't feel guilty about sinning when you're on fire everybody sees it when you lukewarm people also see it they get influenced by it lukewarm Christianity is the danger to Christianity mediocre lukewarm opinionated that does not walk in the purpose of God and if you walk in the purpose of God you'll walk in the presence of God with fear and trembling and respect you will respect your brother you'll respect your sister you will respect the kingdom of God and you will do nothing to damage God's kingdom because you understand God's kingdom is what it's all about it's all about God's kingdom everything is about God's kingdom I said everything is about God's kingdom everything everything everything this church is part of God's kingdom everything is about God's kingdom and you need to get your heart attached attached when you detach you will become unspiritual and drift away and then 10 to on become very very opinionated because you have to justify your decision to everybody there are so many things God wants to do in your life but you know um and as a past of many years now understanding certain things we can't put the card before the horses so I can there's certain things I know God wants to do but we first have to get on the right page for God to stir those things because if God stirs you the pool that's on the inside of you and you're not rooted in purpose you're going to go crazy my brother your ego is going to swell three times the size that it's now huh so we first come and and we we we consider our ways that means we cons I consider my ways me not you consider me and I consider you you consider your way that's what God says twice says consider your way and then in in in one of the verses he says you've done this you've done this you've done this but I've blown upon it I'm actually the one that's stopping the blessing from manifesting in your life because you're living a life just for yourself to working against my grace you get back to first things first the rest will follow easy CU then when God stirs you and the money comes and things happen you're not going to uh uh lose your your people I've seen too many people that's why I Don't Preach Prosperity I've seen too many people come from nowhere make billions and they forget their hands are closed when they earned a salary they were givers now they earn billions they can't give God a scent whoopy doopy dooo whoopy doopy doy do may you go back to being a salary earner where you honored god with your when you earn 10,000 R when you honored God may you go back to being a salary earner so you can get a reward in heaven in Jesus name people can be impressed by your car they can be impressed by your businesses they can be impressed by the way you walk but I tell you God's not impressed by you God loves you but he's not impressed he's not impressed by what car you stop with he's not impressed by the title that you have he's essed by your heart cuz God doesn't look on the outward appearance God looks on the heart of man and the Bible says the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth to look for men and women whose hearts are loyal to him so that God himself may show himself strong on their behalf and enable them to do Great and Mighty exploit so as we close the service this morning consider your ways I want every head B every eye closed no one moving now please for a moment there in Durban in Johannesburg In Bloom fantain God is talking to you this morning and you know you've you've you've maybe moved away from God you've drifted

there's no purpose let's make the world a better place in Jesus name God bless you take your [Music] seat are you a river or a reservoir when God sent his son he sent his very best the Bible says in Romans chapter 8:32 he who Distributing the emblems and the leaders and the pastors to assist them as well I want to take you to a scripture in Luke 22: 19 to 20 he took some bread and gave them and thanks God for it then he broke it in pieces and gave it to the disciples saying this is my body which is given for you do this in remembrance of me verse 20 after supper he took another cup of wine and said this is the New Covenant between God and his people an agreement confirmed with my blood which is poured out as a sacrifice for you then the next scripture 1 Corinthians 11:25 says in the same way also he took the cup after supper saying this cup is the New Covenant in my blood do this as often as you drink it in remembrance of me I want to take your attention to the one word that he used in that scripture he used it twice he says remember remembrance do this in remembrance of me remembrance of what he has done for us now the Bible uses the word and in the Greek and the Hebrew the word remembrance means exactly that to remember or to be reminded of when Jesus gave us the instruction to use communion he said remember recall what I have done on the cross remember that the work on the cross was permanent he doesn't say remember communion he says remember the cross remember the work that I have done on the cross it's a reminder of the victory that we have because of the work that Jesus has done on the cross when Jesus was on the cross he said the following he said father forgive them for they do not know what they are doing even while Jesus was still on the cross it was for him an act of forgiveness before he gave up his life he knew this is an act of forgiveness this morning I want to encourage you as you sit here do likewise remember remembrance remember what Jesus has done for us when he was in the cross he forgave each one of us he forgave our past our sin he forgave gave I want to encourage you as you sit here today remember what he has done for us on the cross and forgive maybe you sit here next to your husband or your wife and you had a fight on your way to church remember what Jesus has done for us he has forgiven us first remember what that means it sets us free it sets us free when Jesus was on the cross it was an act of love an act of forgiveness unconditionally there's no yes but you don't know yeah but remember what they said no it is just forgiveness an act of love because he did it first for us I want to encourage you remember what he has done for us when Jesus was on the cross and he gave up his life the blood flowed the body broken he paid a price with his blood so that we can live he set us free from sin he set us free from our past he broke the shackles of us he broke all bondage of us he has given us the power by the Holy Spirit to overcome he has given us Authority and he's given us a new life so this morning as we take the emblems we remember what he has done for us already and let us walk in that let us walk in Victory let us walk in the authority that he has given us to overcome you sit there maybe this morning and you battle something use this opportunity to let go use this opportunity to remember bring into remembrance as you sit there and remember what he has done for us amen I want to ask can you show me who still needs the emblems just by show of hands everybody received family I want to ask that

morning forgiveness into their hearts this morning as we remember what you have done for us in Jesus name amen family as you sit just turn your attention to the big screens for this morning's offering please thank you are you a river or a reservoir when God sent his son he sent his very best the Bible says in Romans 8:32 he who did not spare his own son but delivered him up for us all how shall he not with him also freely give us all things we're called to be Rivers not reservoirs because freely we have received now freely we go and we give it's to our Heavenly Father who loves us unconditionally and gives so generously that we bring our time our talent and our treasure before we were saved we used to spend our time on many things but once we encounter God's unconditional love he becomes our first love which means he is first in in everything walk in wisdom toward those who are outside Redeeming the time Colossians 4:5 we bring our talents to the house of God to serve one another and expand God's kingdom just as each one of you has received a special gift a spiritual Talent an ability graciously given by God employed in serving one another as is appropriate for good stewards for God's multifaceted Grace we bring our Treasures to the house of God because our hearts are in the house for where your treasure is there your heart will be also Matthew 6: 211 we can never repay God for all that he has done for us but we can choose to lay down our lives as a response to his unconditional love and grace thank you to every CRC member and faithful Giver who's laid down their lives for God's kingdom and has become Rivers through which God's overflow can flow to bring hope and healing to others the ashes can now stand as we receive the offering please note for
