I'm gonna be talking to us on what I heard is a preserving our spiritual heritage and passing it on. Preserving our spiritual heritage and passing it on. What is a heritage? A heritage is a possession of value. A heritage can be set of values, traditions, culture, principles, practices passed on from previous generations. A heritage, it's usually valuable. Hallelujah. For us as believers. Our heritage is the Gospel, the message of salvation, and the principles of God's word that has been handed down to us from faithful men. Glory to God. If he had said, you know, when a man gives this hurt to Christ, there's some much desire in him to serve God. He wants to please God. Oh, he's so excited about the things of God. But it's only remain a desire until the principles. He's able, by the principles of God's world to turn that desire to actions. I like us to look into the Bible quickly. In some Chapter sixteen, verse six, Psalm sixteen, verse six, row party, Oh, sharp party, candy, so faryat a pie. It's that the lions are falling on to us in please and places. Yay, I have a goodly heritage. Do you know, oh, that you have a goodly heritage. Our spiritual heritage is a goodly one. And that's why lines have to fall for you in pleasant blesses. The reason why lot of pool go to terrible times in their lives, terrible experiences. They are inherited a dark heritage and evil heritage. I saw their steps slide the way that should go, that will. Not walk. Some chapter one and nineteen, there's one one one one nineteen, there's one hundred and eleven. David is talking. He said that testimonies have I taken as a heritage forever, for they are the rejoicing of my heart. That testimon is there can be the world of God. Thy testimon is there can be the wonders through their edges. He remembered them, and so he said, these things are my property. I carry them, I look at them, and I remember that I have a goodly heritage. Glory to God. Now today there is a battle regime as to which heritage must be passed on, whether our spiritual and goodly heritage or a corrupt heritage. Because anything that God does set and has a duplicate. There is a fact because there is a real and so his agenda is that he sinks or to us, they are gender of God on the face of the earth. Praise the Lord I saw, my child. Believers must rise, We must rise up to responsibility to know what these things are that I've been given to us. Like David said here, he said that testimony, he has them. He said, they're my property. I look at them. I study them so that I can remember the kind. Of God. That I say, Glory to God quickly. What are these heritages already mentioned? It is the Gospel, the message of salvation that has been given to us, and then the principles of God's world that has been handed down to us. And so I'm going to just dwell a little bit on the message of the Gospel. First quarantine chapter nine, verse seven. Things. Now before please, before we read that, there's a scripture I really wanted us to see. Look chapter one, verse four. Look chapter one, verse four. So rah, he told Fanny mc carty kid us. It is so that Dow might test. No, there's certainty of those things worrying. Doao has been giving Doo has been. Instructed let's see first Quarantine, chapter nine, verse seventy. Are you aware that a dispensation or the gospel has been handed over to you. Are you aware that you can't tell me turn out destiny of men by either choosing to share with them the message of truth. Or to keep quiet. Because for the people of the world, when they hear, when you hear, preservation. For them, it's storing things, it's hoarding things, it's keeping things. But for us, it's sharing it. That's how we preserve. We preserve the gospel by sharing the gospel. So their storage house is the hearts of men, it's not by keeping quiet. Praise the Lord is thet For if I do these things, please come and read from sixteen Exat For though I preach the Gospel, I have nothing to glory of, for necessity is laid upon me. Hey, war is unto me. Hey, if I preach not the gospel, the man is costing himself. Say I'm cost if I don't preach. So if I supposed say I am cost you what I say if you're not preaching, are you going to be saying, Oh, I'm glorified, beautiful things are happening when I'm not preaching. Next verst place. For if I do this thing will willingly, I have a reward. But if I guess my will, I don't have a choice. A dispensation of the Gospel is committed to me. Second Quarrenternsropter five. I'm going to be reading a lot of scriptures. Second Correnterns Chropter five. That's eighteen to nineteen. He says, I've been giving the ministry of reconciliation. This thing is not a joke. God has given to us. The destiny of men, the message of telling men that God is no longer mad at them. Just come the way you are. Jesus has already paid it all. Just come glory to God. I'm gonna be mentioning the next heritage that has been passed down to us. Sharing the Gospel is our responsibility. So in the seeds of the Message of Christ is our responsibility. Praise God. But God is responsible for a harvest of trees of righteousness. Is a power plant? Is God that giveth the increase. So your own work is prepare, lend the world of God, teach others. Hey, what that will become? You cannot imagine what that world can produce. Out of a man. You cannot even say it can't turn a beggar into a prince. Just keep teaching. You heard the lady that came here and said, I was listening to apostle teaching this message. He said, something entered into me, my God. That's like prophets ezicare. She says, something entered into me from the man of God. And since then smoking ceased, drinking ceased. There is nothing else that. Has the power to truly change a man's life from the inside out. And deliver to him and inheritance and their destiny. Like the Gospel say, we have their goodly heritage. Now such a powerful message has. Been given to you. Will you keep it? Or will youtiate Number two our heritage of faith? My cant take of fas second to Moulta, Chapter one, verse three to five. So thirty is a heritage. He said, I thank God, who am iself from my father's with pure conscience that without season. Oh that's not the scripture. Please go to this one, he says. Paul an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God, according to the promise. Of life which is in Christ Jesus. To Timothy, my daily beloved son, grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord. Okay, please, let's just see Galishans chapter three these six to nine. I think I missed that scripture or can we media? Please? I really want to want us to read that scripture that talks about Timothy receiving faith from his grandmother Lois. So let's check first Timothy chapter one. Let's quickly go there first, Timote chapter one one. Hallelujah. It says when I call to remembrands, they unfeigned faith that is in D, which dwelt first in thy grand mother Lois and thy mother Eunice. Are you saying transference of the heritage of faith? And I am persuaded that it is in D. Also, faith can be inherited. Jesus has already dealt to us the measure of faith. What you do with it is up to you. It says, faith coming by hearing and hearing movies, the media. When you listen to any other in your faith to be paralyzed, that heritage will be destroyed. While you give attention to anything that is not consistent with the world of God, it will affect that that thing God faith. So faith coming by hearing and hearing by the word of God. Faith comes by studying the word of God. Fath is a currency in this kingdom. Every nation had their currency, every kingdom had their currency. But we are privileged to be able to use every other person's own and see use our own. So in case this one inflation happens, we are constants or faiths, so we can never be disadvantaged. So Dolla may rise for Nira, rise for any other currency. You are not moved because what fate could buy in the time of Abraham shah Ba late Coppa, faith can stay by today what Fath can give you. Even if you work your whole life saving you will not be able to get faith. They got collect those things that be not as though their weare. He created the words from nothing, He just spoke hallelujah. Fath is the currency that was not no inflation. It is constant, and so you must understand this heritage and build it. Find out Timothy. Collect their faiths from his grandmother, from his mother. His mother collect the faiths from grandmother. You what have you been collected? When you say, Mighty Man of God, with great faith. It can be collected though faith can be collected. Their gift of faith can be passed on. Hallelujah. Galations Chapter three the six to nine talks to us about Abraham being the father of faith. So it's not today our father Abraham. The mom says, were the seeds of Abraham. Our father Abraham was a man of faith. In First John Chapter five, Verse four, I like us to go their first junt of the five as four. He brushed after eleven this one. Let's look at first junt of the five as four. It say, for whatsoever is born of God, my God over commeat the world. And this is the victory Dad, that over commet the world, even on our faith. What is the victory that overcomet the world? Your faith? So while we prioritizing other things, killing ourselves, running up and down because of money, we don't have time to serve God, preserving other monuments, other things that we think are so important and valuable, when there are some intangible that can't deliver to you tangible things our fiates is the victue that you need in these last days if you must survive what is coming. Because what we're seeing, you know, my husband will say, dog shoulgar, call to the gospel. Just let them from prophecy. This is what is calling difficult times will come, the mom says in the last days, peridious times chuck come. And because of those times, the love of many will works called Why they are struggling and trying to survive the times, hoping that something will change. Forgetting your heritage cart pay ros tacker pire, forgetting your heritage, set my heritage, your faiths. I am putting my fair to walk. I am prettserving my face by building it, and I am teaching orders to do the same. That's passing it on. My little daughter came to me the other time. I said, mommy, headache, and I said, you know what to do. Why are you coming to me? But I've laid my hands. It's not going I said, late again in my presency, headache go healed. She put her hand down. Then she came and said, but mommy, why is it that God does not answer prayer as quickly? Why is it that the headache is still there and I have to pray and pray and pray. There are some questions you will prepare to answer your children. If you don't walk out your own selfsu if you. Don't know the things that I've been freely giving to you, will you will not be no answers to give them because you yourself, I've not found answers. I didn't know what to say to her, but I just said it has already gone. I had to just add my own hand. I say it is gone. And you know, since this year there's no hospital. Do you know what it means to have little children? I am not going to the hospital for one thing or the other. Hallelujah. Your of friends must walk. If not because of yourself, your children, if not because of yourself, your family, if not because of yourself, there are people that are looking up to you. We must be able to defend their gospel, because if we don't, the generation that is coming after us there will questioning a lot of things. Like I said, glory to God, hallelujah. Quickly, I'm gonna move from there to number three, heritage or the person of the Holy Goos, our heritage Psalm sixteen, verse five. Are you aware that the person of the Holy Ghos has been given to us? It is a precious gift. Here. What David said he caught this revelation long ago, is that the Lord is a portion of my inheritance. Can we see an IV. Let's see an IV. He's a lord. You alone and my person and my cop you make my lord secure. Let us see TLB. That's something I'm looking for. TLB. The Lord himself is my heritage. The translation I saw he said, the Lord himself is my heritage. My price. Here is my food higher, here's my drink, my highest joy. He gots all that is mine. Ah. And so in Joel chapter two, the Bible Promises, he said, I we part my spirit upon alflesh. So God we part himself. What else will he do? He has done everything? Then finally he poured himself out, so he has given us everything. In Als chapter one, Best eight, the Holy goo skid and since then in a chapter ten, the Holy Goost is not only for the Jew Peter, we saw Peter dishing out distributing a heritage the Holy goos. In Act chapter nineteen, Paul came, I mess some people. He saw some believers. He said, have you received the Holy Goost? Since you believed? He said, we have not heard it. There be any holygos at? What's baptism? Then we are you baptized? He said, Anto John's baptism. And as they're talking stories, and the Bible says he taught them the message of Jesus, and as hands were laid on them, they received the Holy goos. There's spoking tongues at their prophet's eye. How many of you when last did you win a soul? Are you let Hans and the person received the Holy goosest as poking tones? A time came in my life like that, I said, if this thing happened this past class scripture ass of the nineteen, I say I improved that scripture. If if Paul can lay hands on this one, they're spoking tongues. The Bible says, why Peter yet speak Hi the Holy ghost fat That means the Holy goes. It's even more eager to feel man. So they possession of men than you are willing to distribute the Holy Ghost to them. So you're not afraid. What if I don't lay my hands it doesn't work. What if they don't receive it? All? My God, you will lay your hands. On them, and insists, of course you will chart jump yourself properly after winning this. So don't just leave them to go like that. Fill them with the Holy ghost, lay your hands on them. Please just lift up your hands this way. He said this my hands say to me, said this, my hands will impat men. This my hand is full of power. This my hand is God's hand, and it won't do mighty things for God. And I will not hold it back. I will distribute the heritage is of God through this my hand in the name of the Lord Jesus. The Holy Spirit. Is an eternal heritage. The Holy Spirit is all the answers that you need for life. You don't know what you carry. You don't have an idea. Men carried their eye doels and I tell them this I do. As long as you put it at your back, it will protect you, It will bring favor for you. It will do this for you. I know of a. Very violent person those days in Benwiste. It he used a lot of chance and so one day it was an unfortunate day for him. He put those charms so no matter how they're shooting him, enter police who shoot, and so he he he costs a lot of terrible things violence in that particular city. If I call his name now, some of you are here. But one day I got the. News that he was shot and he died, and I later I heard from his guys because my husband used to preach to them. That's the champ fail. It failed, they say, the chant fail, their chance can fail. He goes Saturn cannot give you anything free, so you can be serving him using charms. He's doing things for you, you know, until the day they come for you. Then that spirit refuse so stands to block the the bullet again. That day is your final day. And that was how that man died. But the spirits that we have received cannot fail. The holygost instead of us, it's your advantage in life. I don't know what else we are looking for. We have come to the end of our sech saying I have come to the end of my search. Now I know I have the heritage of faith. I have the hurt of the Holy Ghost. So I will sit down and understand this thing that I've received and put them to work for a victorious life. Say I have the Holygos. All you need to do is to continually be filled with the Holygos. They are realms of life, they are dimensions. Hmmm. So men are living there, do not be quietly looking at him as you are shouting, Oh, things. Are not working. Oh I lost that contract. Oh I did this. You need to hear their testimonies. In the same worlds that we are, because the value what God has given to them. Look with Dean. There are too many things with Dean. Look with Dean. So before you step up for anything concerning life and destiny, you chudgeob, chadgeop what is inside of you? The Bob says he does speaked in a non tongue. He edifies himself, He peels up himself. So you can't face the challenge out there. You can't wait to get home. You can't wait to hide somewhere because there is something that you carry. You know that if only I can't just ste up this thing, stand up myself, the story will be different. Over night, the story will change. I had a very beautiful story of a broad who was working in an organization. He was not really paid very well, but he was very skilled. He had submitted applications everywhere, and so one day someone from his organization told another person about him because there was a higher organization that had an issue with their machine. He's an engineer. This person that came to call. Him said, we have tried everything on this machine is not walking. We have brought all the professionals and experts. We don't know what the problem is, so please come and help us. Check and the brother got there even him entered check around. He didn't find out anything that was a problem, Haia. But he took a step for that, because we always know what to do with the Holy girls, we have all the answers. We always know what to do. He stepped out of that place and told them tomorrow I'm coming. That's hold on, don't call any other person. Let me just go and sleep. Tomorrow I will come. He went home, locked himself up. He said, their holy goes. You know everything. You know where then not that thing? Is that issue, that challenge? You know where it is? Show me. He went to sleep, and in the middle of the night, in the vision of the nights, God carried him inside the same place, showed him it was just a knot that felt that they didn't see, and showed him. Where to find the notts. Now, this is a brother that values. What he carries and understands it. He's not looking for answers outside when they answized we din he He just came out and tied his car came to the organization and then he said opened. You know that there's an authority you talk to when you know that is that opened there, there's there's a place. Let me look at it now where they opened. He knew we had to go to but he just did did touch differences. Then he does Glory to God. Then he walked into the place where they were not looking. He actually saw the knots, picked it, fixed it, and they said, that's it, my God. The machine began. How did you do it? He began to speak grammar, you know the technical fault. Glory to God. Hallelujah, please be seated in high places. I'll just talk a lot of heritages. I supposed to list here. Our heritage of offering a thanksgiving is a practice that is replete in scriptures. We are supposed to give thanks. Supposed already spoken a lot about that, so I'll just move from here. We are supposed to give thanks to God because it is the will of God for us to do so. We give thanks to God because it is. Our worship to Him. Recognizing Him as our sauce and our sausingers. We give thanks because it will activate the blessings of God. In our lives. We give thanks because it gives us a positive reflection on all that God has done. It gives you the right mentality and mindset. So, because we know we should give thanks in gratitude, can never come close to. Your mind praise the Lord. So that is a practice that you must continually observe and teach your children. To do same. How do we preserve our heritage and pass it on? How do we do it? I know I've already mentioned a lot of things, but I still want to emphasize that number one. Through effective leadership. Through effective leadership, I'm sure so somebody shocks, what's leadership doing here? Everything rises and falls or leadership. You can have so much potentials, you can have so much giftings, so much opportunity, so much resources that can be wasted because of mismanagement, because of poor leadership. And so even once we carry if we must pass it on, if we must teach men, we need effective leaders to rise. Of course, our father is here. Imagine if some years ago he just decided to play with his life, he just decided not to be serious. We're here, ever, No. That all these people here are those watching across the world, are they're going to be depending on him, of course, on God. But if I said no, I don't think so. I don't think we'll be here today. Every major move of God. From these scriptures, every dispensation have been led, have been championed by great leaders. Of course, we lead by examples. So we need men that can replicate what They can replicate the world of God. They can become living epistul replicate character. What true character is, what too virtue is? We must becomes beyond working or just knowing something, you know, starting to know some creutures in your head is beyond church just coming to church all the time. What are you becoming by coming to church? What are you becoming? Her father said something. He said, when people enter the. Invers from a hundred level, and through the years, through their classes, it is expected that one day they will become professors. They will themselves also become teachers. They are going to school to become something, you know, I said, way that are coming to church? What are we coming to church to become? Leadership is required an army. Of sheep lead by a lion. We always defeat an army of sheep lead an army of lions led by a sheep. So on one hand we have sheep, there's a lion in front of them, and on the other hand we have lions lad by a sheep. We're talking mentality here, so we're not just looking leadership. Effective leadership. The one led by the lion we are west defeat the one that is led by a sheep. You must be ready to gavernize yourself, to choose you yourself, to become a dependable character. That people can. Look up to and they're not ashamed. They can't look up to you and say, I want to be like this because I supposed to follow follow me as I do. What for low Christ? There is no body here. That they're not copying somebody, even the clothes you want. I saw somebody wear it. I said, kay, I like this close. You went to make it everything that you know. You were thoughts and that's why I, Solomon say, there's nothing new on that this song. It's just only being replicated. The fashion we change, the design we change, but it is still the same. Men will always copy. It's as we beholds that will become. So we need leaders that can show us possibilities. It is possible to raise the dead It is possible. It's not just a story. It is possible. It is possible to lead in that family that you have found yourself. Things might not be going the way they ought to be. That's why you are there. Tell your nipple, that's why you are there. You are the principality of that family. Hah barrows ta kapa. You are the principality of your home. There is no principality doing any in your home, even if they're. Doing some things. Wake up, you must lead. That's for me. I say, parents, there are things that you must not play with. You must be conscious of your citizenship, and then teach your children to be conscious of the same. There is a difference between light and darkness. There's a difference between the kingdom of darkness and the kingdom of light. Tell them you belong to the kingdom of lights, and so this is how you ought to live, because you are a citizen of the Kingdom of God. Teach them to pray, teach them to study the world of God. How many of your parents are building libraries for your children already? The other day, I remember I. Was on the market and I was I think I was speaking with Mama and she said, what I thought. I was buying some bibles for SSF. And she said, oh, get bibles for my songs. And my manners. The bibles? Is it? You know? Who wants to read their Bible? But from now she's building libraries for their children that I've not reading yet. And for those of you that are preparing to be parents, it is they. Oh my God, it is an enma's responsibility, because you will give account to God for the children that are going to be coming. So a plan and prepare lend parenting. If every everybody we have in a society came from my home. Whenever we're giving the rights, attention and thought the right things, that will not we will not be where we are today, where the corruptions start from from stealing meat in the pots? Who stole their meat from the cooking imports. It's so bad that there were teacher was a song from school who stole the meat? Is that the kind of song they should be singing? Should children still in meat from the port? But already they were giving us their consciousness. Who thought the meat is in me? No, but it's you. So they already thought the would be lying glory to God. Leadership we must grow up spiritually. Even most become spiritual leaders. We must grow up spiritually and quickly quickly. We don't have the old time grow up. If it's as for me, I won't even if I supposed to say come my minutes, I say, sir, I don't want to. I just prefer to be at their background and be doing things. But you say, sense, this is laid upon us. People must rise and stand for others. People must rise and stand for what we believe. Praise the Lord. The second one I wrote here on how to pre what we have and pass it on is discipleship. Discipleship, So winning and discipleship. It's not just enough to win the Soulce what is the plan to disciple that thousands of souls we're announcing every day? Thank God for excessive Thank God for the school of Winnisual that's about to begin. Thank God. Men have been trained, so they have been one beailt and sense that is how it should be. Discipleship is their car of our Christian faith. Discipleship. And so in church that has lost that mandate of raising and training people, they have misplaced their identity. They have lost their identity discipleship raising men that will become law. Yeah to Jesus. Devoted followers of Jesus. People put that on their own, can sit down and make melodies to the Lord, pick up their bibles and study, not that they're in church on your own. They have times that they do that and when the idea nobody calls. Phones are off. Devotion not just in words, not just in activities. Do you know what the Law said to me one time? He said, if the puppets is taking away and all the activities are taken away, and then they say two months of break, not coming to church, he said, will you see having a walk with me normal activities only you just stay in your room. What will you be doing with your time? How will you spend your whole day? Will you enjoy the presence of the Holygos. We visit the hospitals and heal they're sick. And you know when you go around helping people, helping the poor, what will you be doing? What the activity can Christians do if they're not coming to church? Every minute you're under door, second you're on that door, as beautiful as it is. You must add your devotion, your own personal devotion. We must raise leaders that are lawyer to the fifth. Submissive or spiritual authority, not vagabonds, not people that don't understand authority. In this kingdom, we don't break ranks. And like it's a Joey chapter two, verse seven, we don't break ranks. Only saturn is rebellions, and it causes men to be rebellions to authority. Joe Chapter two. He said that Charon like mighty men. They shall climb the wall like men of war, and the shall match everyone on his ways, and they shall not break their ranks. Nobody is disrespecting anybody. Nobody is is going on his own. The soldier leading their commandant said, match right match right, match rights you, it's match left match left. Say this is not me say it. I'm not rebellious. I refuse to be rebellious. I am submissive to authority. It does not matter who they brought us your authority. You are secure in Christ. That's why you must have a life with God. Even if they say not preaching colored the mic from her, you are very fine. In fact, the holding up the mic is a distruction. It can be called a distruction ahead of a dear man of God who had admitted to attend everybody was waiting for him that they see him. So someone went to call him, Sir, it's time. He said, oh you again, keep are distracting my fellowship. Ah, food church is waiting, the man of God is enjoying the presence of God. And he said, it's a distraction. Okay, well I'm coming. He settled and went out to minister to the people. We have to get to that place where we set our priorities right. Discipleship. Thank God for this ministry where we have been called to raise songs that we do the will of their Father, to raise priests that will be the body. How many bodies are you bearing for the Lord? So raised kings that were at first kingdom are raign in life. Thank God for that mandate. The last. Way we can preserve what we have and pass it on. I would just be very brief with this now, the last way we can do this. There are so many other ways, but I just chose these one to dwell on them, sponsoring God's agender on the aths because we can be here enjoying ourselves, teaching ourselves, winning Sauls in Nigeria, everywhere in our Buja winning Sauls. But we were not sins only to Nigeria. We were sent on the ends of the Eths Matthew, Chapter twenty eight, verse nineteen. We are being sent to the world. He says, Go. So the instruction has you're already given to go. Go you there for and teaching nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of. The Holy gooes. Next, please. Teaching them to observe all the things whatsoever I have commanded you. Allo, I am with you always, even onto the ends of the earth. There are many of us that I want to go no sponsorship. There are so many nations we want to enter as a ministry that will require sponsorship, called cap colar. We no sponsor their gospel. They have their own agenda l GBTQ we know sponsor the gospel. In fact, they have an agenda. They're sponsoring against the gospel. So who are those lefts that. Must do this? We must understand that their gospel. It's free, but it's press on the wheels of our finances of money. There are so many beautiful desires in our hearts, nations who want to reteams who want. To do. If only we have all the resources available in one place, praise the Lord, hallelujah. Let us see sound chapter sixty seven. That's two quickly, Devid said. The Nivy translation Devid said, send us around the world. We're on news. He says, so. Let's see NLT It says, so that your ways may be known on the earth. May you always be known throughout the eaths. You're saving power among the people everywhere. Another translation says, send us around the world with the news of your saving power and your eternal plan. God has an eternal plan for all mankind. How do we supponsor the gospel? By being generous with our money, with our prayers, by being generous, especially with our resources. Because you willn't go to the epoth and say, by the kepper open, let's go and preaching ghana is our would do? It's money, will give them. It's money who used to organize crusades. If your money cannot run the errands of God, then you have not under stood kingdom. Everything has all along been about kingdom. I thought Jesus showed up in June of Tive street. Except a man be born again with water on the street, he will not see the kingdom. He will say, seek infest the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all of that things will be added. The disciples will say, heeach us how to pray Ah, And he will say, our Father, who are in heaven? That kingdom. It has been always about a kingdom. Please, we must understand the concept of kingdom. It is about the king, It's about his government, It's about his royal off spring. Are you are his royal off spring? Say I am his royal off spring? He shall say his sied, and he say, Jap prolonged his days. Jesus is no longer here, But we carry the message. We po saw their message everywhere around the world, to the last drop of our blood. So what is money? Let us see quickly? Asks chapter four. There's thirty two, asked Chapter four, that's thirty two. The mother says, and the multitude of them that believed were of one hat and of one soul, Nita said, any of them that arts of the things which he possessed was his own. Say, my money is God's money. That money you think it's your own is gospel, and it has a purpose beyond gratifying yourself. Your money has a purpose. I'm very blunts this evening because there's no time, you said, let me just finish. The scripture will tell us something. He says that the mortigen of them that believed we have one heart and one soul need I said any of them. The arts of the things which he possessed was his own, but. They had all things in common. Let us see the next scripture, are, with great power gave the apostles witness. Of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. Did you hear this? The previous verse said they were liberal? Nobody we teld what was that? What the money is? That they had the resources that they had. Then the next verse, and with great power give their postules witness because of sponsorship or the resurrection of their Lord Jesus. And great grace was upon them all they had to minister with great power. Because lack of money to sponsor the work of God can frustrate a lot of things. We must understand that if we must preserve what we have. You know, I thought you preserve is sharing it? If we must store it in the hearts of men everywhere, then we must know that the money is that we have, it's not our money. In fact, you will begin to look for ways to turn our rates finances. Put your face to walk, I said, this is the Yeah, the Great harvests. How much of my money is there? How much? And then you begin to work at it. You begin to work at it. You set the target for yourself. It's not that you lot yourself pray for money that he wants to use their bike, clothes or car or jewelry. Those things are additions that will come. But you say it, my child. Believer, you lock up yourself, pray for the money that you are supposed to give for the work of God. To God. That means you're not longer the realm of giving out of convenience. Now, even when they're finances are not dear, you are putting your fair. To work for finances to come. Because the ex is the Lord, hees giving us all things that pertended on to life and godliness. So you you, you work it out and bring. Out the money to sponsor the work of the ministry. Next verst Please, neither was. There any among them the lads, for as many as were possesses of lands or houses, that saw them and brought their prices of the things that were sold. Imagine if we start. This kind of thing here now the media we surround this place, then the next thing will be the talk of town everywhere online they are collecting people's money. Why do you think Satan is attacking these things, our heritage, our practices from our fathers and let them down At the apostles, fees and distribution was made onto every man according as he had need next place. And Josie Cabrosa, who by their apostle wars so named Bannabas, which is being. Interpreted the son of Consolation hai Ya. Because of his fineancy, all his hearts first of all for God, and his resources that went all into the gospel, they had to give him a name, the Song of Consolation. Say I'm a daughter of consolation. I'm a song of consolation. I'm a daughter of consolation. I know what I'm saying, Daughters, it was we've made that finance Jesus. So don't be saying, you know, my husband will give we we are the mothers. We don't really as he's doing. You're also doing as he's sorrying. Because everybody will stand on that day on his own and give account of what he did to advance the costs of God on the earth. Husband will not speak for you. You will speak for yourself. First Corinian, chapter six, vers. Ten. First Corinthians, Chapter six, vers. Ten. He said, not thiefs. Let's see verse nine before we come here. He said, no, you're not that you are righteous, shall not inherit the Kingdom of God. Be not deceived, neither phonicatos, nor either let us, nor adulterous, nor effeminates, nor abusers of themselves with mankind. Next, no thieves, no convertuous. This covertures is greedy. A man that everything is his really all that he has is about himself. Imagine where they came and put him among thieves. No thieves, No they're greedy. No drunkards, nor revilers nor extortionals shall inherit the Kingdom of God. Because a man that we told money and say, they're shouting, we want to go to China, we want to go to Europe. We want to go You are just looking and clappy for every other person that is given, it's a very dangerous state to be. I don't want to go to the extreme. God loves every one of us, hallelujah. But we must grow to that place of maturity. We're responsibility. You become responsible to know that this thing, the sponsorship of the gospel, depends on you. Glory to God. The final scripture we are gonna be looking at. Let's look at Luke. Chapter twelve, Verse fourteen, rap toser, Please don't speaking tongues, speaking tongues. There's so much happening here right now. There's so much happening here right now. There's so much importation going on. Rapper let concert part poshka ripertaka pie in Look chapter twelve, that's fourteen as I round up, and it sat on to him, and he said, unto him, man who made me a charge or a divider over you. Let me see the next verse. Okay, can we start from verse nine quickly? Look chapter twelve. It's about he that denies me before men shall be denied before the angels of God. Next place. And whoever shall speak a word against the Son of Man, it shall. Be forgiving him. But onto him that blasphemous against the Holy gooes, it shall not be forgiven. Let's see the next verse. It's something I'm looking for. Let's see the next place next, please next, pleace. Okay, go back to thirteen. Let's read from there. He says, in one of the companies said to him, Master, speak to my brother that he should divide the inheritance with me. He should share his inheritance with me. Next next place, And he said on to them, take heed and beware of convirtuousness of greediness, for a man's life consisted not in the abundance of things which he possessed. Next place, and he speak a parable say the ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully. And he thought within himself, saying, what shall I do? Because I have no room. We are to bestow my fruits see the man's wisdom. And he said, oh, I know what to do. I will pull down my bonds and I will build bigger ones. And yeah, well, like bestow. All my The words are my goods. And I will say to my soul, thou hast much goods laid off for many years. Oh that thine is. It's drink and be merry. But God said unto. Him, thou fool this night, thy soul shall be required of thee. Then whose shall those things be? Hi? Who shall those things be which thou hast provided? Next? So easy the layout of treasures for himself. And it's not rich towards God. It's not. We're not against leyingold treasures for ourselves. But are you rich towards God? You should be rich out towards God, that you are rich out to yourselves. Because angels look at us with all, they look at those with all. Wondering how we reason? How come men build massive magnificient structures on an egg that we pass it away, and there's no one stone lead in an eternity where you're going. They have no plans, no investments in eternity. That's what happens when. There are gonna be three There are three of the greatest events that will ever happen in this world. The first one was when the ad was created. That was a very amazing event. The second was when the ag was redeemed amazing. But they don't is when the heir will be judged? But will that day will come? In fact, the Bible says it has been pointed out to Manto die once after that's judgment. With starts. What is your plan? What is your plan? What matter's to you? You cannot know the right things to do and still be wasting time. Start from where you are, Start from your one thousand. If you don't have the money's that's winning sauce. Talk to people about Jesus. At least. That's going to be the first and last day that every man will be God in one spots. Men of all races, we stand on one spot. But they're great and they're small, They're wise, they're foolish, white, black, old man of racist, they're God on one spot. The mother says, some will rise or shame. Others will rise to glory knowing what God helped them to do in time. What are you going to rise to? Of course, men who stand before Jesus, dear, there will be no assumptions of who you are. Hey, there will be no assumption his Bishop pop there will be no assumptions. Dear, you will be bad before the Master. There will be no bribery, no lying, not trying to explain. Even you two be seeing it's the way you are. Of course, to the world it will be judgments onto condemnation. But for us there is now, dear fat, no condemnation for those who in Christ Jesus. But there is a there is a judgment sait of Christ, where men will be rewarded. For championing the teens that matter. Where will you stand, where will you be. The last thing we must do to preserve the Gospel? And when I say this, now will rise up and pray, because the last thing is prayer. Hey, my God, we are not the only ones. HEO. So you can have good desires, you can be preachy, you can be doing things for God. But their spirits are fights to ensure. The man says, we'll rest soon, not against flesh and blow, but against principalities, against powers, against rulers of the darkness of this world. You want be conscious of that so that we can always ask God for help. In some chapter seventy four US twenty, he says, have respect unto thy covenant to God. He said, for the dark places of the earth have filled with the habitations. Of cruelty, wickedness. That don't let heritages where devils have occupied and Germany, it's not the Gospel. Took out time to go to a nation. I don't want to call it a name of that nation. But for a very long time the Gospel did not try there. When he got there, the nights before you we go out for the crusade, sat Turn himself appeared in the room. I said, I came to kill you because you want to take my beloved. You called the name of the country. Say you want to take my beloved, Say take kill that national for heritage. The mom says, ask of me. They heeding, I will give them to you for an inheritance. And he told them, man not God, tell we kill you before you got there to preach, how we kill you? You want to take my beloved nation for me? He has so compied it for too long. That place has been an express way to hell for men for yes. And now a man that's reasy, so that can't pass it where God would give him Dan, God would really assigned. That's that's don't let learn to him. And when when Seta was talking and breathing treats if you can't kill him, kill him, there's no need talking. Why are you talking? It's set I could kill him. Just go ahead and kill him. Is it to killer that? Why are you talking? That's shows he does not have that power. Satan can't kill you. He does not have that power. And why the man of God said he would me. I began to shake. He's about something with him me that that's all rise Then I head lessist the devil. That's one thing said that cannot stand. He can't stand to be embarrassed, shame. He's too proud. So when you kick him out like a like a dog, get out, said please, don't shout again, let me go, don't embarrass. Me too much. And I was like. He resisted that spirit and he was gone. He was face to. Face with Lucifer, the one that was with God. He said, risk it, or send his demons. He came by himself because he wanted to actually stop him. What is important about these nations that you don't want Christians? You don't want men to take them for Jesus? What is so important about these nations to him? Those things must be called me. Put that to you too, so that you can't stand in the place or pray. I'll call a nation and pray for that nation. Hallelujah. We must pray. We must pray, because we are contending not with men mothouse, but with spirits that have prey, exit that. Have been from high. Well most we pray. God has given us the ads to dominate. He has given us the ads to preserve. We are the salts of the ads. And so when your landlord gives you a house, you fully paid for it. You went to work and came back and saw the landlord on the bed in your room. Will you kindly say, landlord, I know it's your house. Okay, just rest more than you go? Is that what you say? Oh? God, stands up and get up. I fully paid for this house. Why are you are my bed with that permission? Whose house? Is this? Actually the landlord's house? But for the period that you paid for the house, it is your own. So the ads God has given it to us. He created that is, he's the honor. But he has given it to us. He has put us here to be in charge. Hallelujah. I thought the reason why we want to pray, he is to give him permission to call me. So behold, I stand at the door and knock. I wantee just enter. Behold I stand that they don't and knock. So when we pray, we open the heavens. Finny activities on the face of the head were all put the heavens where we go and use and cry this happle, this change. Let us rise upon our face to night. If we don't know any other thing to do, we know how to pray. Let that get home, come back. Shawn man, they cover super cards, Shaman, Callelujah. Praise alone. I really want us to spend time to pray. We are praying concerning the Gospel, the message that God has give it to us, that has been handed down to us. Then we will keep it fresh with as much intensity as it came to us. We will not fail God. We will not let God down. We were doing more clitter walks than our father's did. Go ahead and pray now say, God, give me the grise mar.
