Hallelujahs is open time. In the turn of chapter sixteen and verse seventeen, the Bible said, each one of you must bring a gift in proportion to the way the Lord your God has blessed you. Again and again we have emphasized that our giving is worship. Alleluyah. Are giving is worship to God. So it's an opportunity to worship God and then to honor God with what He has first blessed us. Wit and I believe tonight that as we give in the honor of God, we will not be careless about it. It will not be casual about it or do it with understanding, will do it with revelation, with reverence, and the Lord will bless are given in the name of our log Jesus Christ.

Tonight we are trying to round up the series that we began on the subject of the Church, Glory to God. We if God permits, I may go a bit deeper, because if I go beyond here, it will no longer be doctriner. It will become a prophetic teaching, beginning to look at the posture of the Church from a prophetic dimension. I'm from a dispensational dimension. I don't know if we can do that here, So I would leave that respect for now, Glory to go. But the ones that are doctrine, the ones that are didactic to instruct us on how to live and be blessed, I would do a bit on it this evening as we begin to round up the teaching. By the grace of God, in studying the subject and the doctrine of the Church, we've been able to deal with very critical components of the subject matter. We've looked at the etymology of the world to give us understanding on what the subject entails. And we said, the word is ecclesia, and we said it means a people who are called out. But we also said that in dealing with that word, there is a word that is always used relatively. It doesn't really define the church. But it is used in association with the word ecclassica because it helps to give deeper meaning and perspective to the subject. And we said that word is derived. From the German word kitsch, and it is the word korea kon in the Greek and it means onto, belonging onto. So we said to have at a full scope understanding of the church, it has to be a combination of ecclesia and korea coon meaning a people called out onto the Lord, praise God. So we are not just separate, we are separated onto the Lord. And we went further to look at the nature of the church, the DNA of the church. We went further to also look at the operational modalities of the church. We went further to look at the authority structure of the church. And then we went even further to look at the errors that creep into the church and what to do to avoid them. And we went even further. To look at the way we relate with ourselves in the church. And finally, this evening, I want to deal with the two aspects. I'm led to torch, which is how to be planted or to behave in the church. Glory to God. You know Pauer was writing to his son. I think that's first three fifteen. He said, in case I talry, that thou mightest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the House of God, which is the Church of the Living God, the ground and the pillar of truth. So when you are planted in the church, there is a way you ought to be predisposed so that you are blessed as a member of the family of God. You know, I showed you from scripture that when God plants you amongst the sanctified, it's because there is a blessing for you. The Bible said, he plants this solitary in families. He doesn't want you to be without a heritage. That's why he plants you in families. And the spiritual family where we all belong is the Church. Of course, we took our time to define the church from a different perspective while we were doing our teaching. But I know you know that already. But you have to know how to be planted so that you draw off the blessings and work in the inheritance that is for us who. Are the children of God. Said I commend you to God and to the world. Of His grace, which is able to keep you or to build you up, and then give you an inheritance amongst them which are sanctified, because there's an inheritance for they sanctified. At twenty thirty two, Praise God. So it's important for you to know how to be planted, how to function in the church. He said, dead that be planted, not dead that pass. He said, they shall flourish in the courts of God. So if you want to flourish, there is a disposition that you will sustained. And I've taught you here why the church is important. So this is not just one casual social environment where you come around to say what's happening. No, when you come, you come. Because you are led, and you come to be planted because you have your inheritance. The church is too important to be treated with levity. I think I gave you nine reasons why the church is important. Number one, I said, the church is central in God's purpose or God's agenda. So when you are planted in the church, it means you are in the center of God's purpose. Efficients threatened and eleven Paul was writing, and he said to the intent that now onto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might. Be known by the church or through the Church. The manifold wisdom of God. According to his eternal purpose, which He purposed in Christ, Jesus our Lord. So God wants to express his purpose through the wisdom that is showcases by reason of the Church. So much so that even the principalities we glean the wisdom of God as they see the Church in expression. So the Church is central to God's purpose. So when you are planted in the church, it means you're in God's purpose, in the center and in the heart of God's purpose. Number two. As then the church is important because the church is the reason Christ died. He died to purchase the church for himself. If you study Ephicients five twenty five, the Bible told us Clanic. Now God was teaching through Poor how family, how husbands you behave, and he likened it to Christ. Is the husbands love your wife, even as Christ loved the Church and gave himself for it. So Jesus died to procure the church, and that's why the church was born after he died and resurrected. Praise God, Acts twenty twenty eight tells us that he bought a purchased the church with his blood. He purchased the church. Is they take hit there for unto yourselves and to all the flock over which the Holy Goost has made you overseers, to feed the Church of God, which he had purchased with his own blow. So when you are part of the church, you almost know that it is too important to God. Is the reason Jesus came to die to purchase the church onto himself, of which we are blessed members. Number three I said the church is what gives you identity in God. It is within the context of the church that you have an identity, because the church is the household of God. We early you are a child. In First Corinthians twelve, verse twenty seven, the Bible saying, now I e the body of Christ and members in particular. I can't be an apostle without the church. I can't be a child of God without the church. I can be a song without the church. So when we are talking about the church, don't look at it as an institution that you just come around to space and see what is going on. Is too critical, is too integral to your life and the meaning of your existence. Number four I said, it is within the church and by reason of the Church, that you have functionality and purpose for existence. Praise God. The Bible said in efficients four eleven. If you look from verse twelve, he said, the reason for the five food that God sets in the church is to perfect those who are members for the work of the ministry. Our functionality, our service, our purpose for existence is derived from our connectivity to God through His house. In fact, verse fifteen said we are matured thereby so we speak the truth in love, and then we're growing to Christ in all things, who is the head of the church. So you are functioning and becoming because of Church. Hallelujah. So it's too important. Estimati three. The then here can't be taught anywhere else. You can't study about eternal life anywhere. They don't have the syllables for it. You can't study about eternity anywhere else. You can't study about the Age to come anywhere else. There are deep past subjects that God has entrusted to the Church to be taught us and to give us meaning beyond time. It's when you come to child that you'll be taught out to live life here in a way that is consequential in eternity. That's a university that can teach you how to live here, to have consequence in the. Age to come. They don't even know it. Praise God. So when you come here, you don't learn fact. You learn beyond fact. You learn truth. Truth that secures your soul, and truth that gives you ranking, value and placement in eternity. It's only in the Church you hear things like watch your lead profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his soul. They don't even know what it means, for it's so to be lost to begin with. It is here you are taught. It's only in the church you can be taught that you can lay up treasures in heaven. We have mod cannot destroy, not eve break into steal. They don't know how to save beyond natural banks. But when you come to the church, you know how to fairy goods, fairy resources beyond the sphere of time. We can bank beyond time. They don't have the intelligence for that in the world system. But the church teaches you that. Praise God. So it is the place where you receive truth and so you secure your existence in time and in eternity. Number six I said, the church is the place from whence the power and the glory of God is made manifest. That are things we get here that can be bought with money. They are procured for us from the realms. Of the glory. You know, we say here that we spend from glory. Pour said in Philippians chapter four, verse nineteen, that My God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus. So we say we spend from glory things that are beyond the realm of money. We're tapping to wisdom that cannot be studied. We have understanding that cannot be as acquiet their wealth given to us in chods. We have a stand god right seousness that no government can confer. We don't understand before men. We stand before spirits, and we stand even before the Almighty. We can make demand from the courts of heaven. It's a wealth that we have in glory. It's called the right seousness of God. We can be rejected from AONs that are beyond time because we have inherited it in chords glory to God. We say things that men can't imagine. Is that when you stand or put your mouth, I'll feel it. It was. There are things. See, we are connected to rems beyond time. That's why a young man can come out of Torch's talking. And the wise men are confounded according to the standards of the world. And how do you know these things? And by what power do you communicate? It is the world. Is in charge the powers and the glories of God. We carry things that. You know. When Moses left Egypt, the Bible said he went with him as a pillar of fire, and as a pillar of crawd is the chakana. We carry the presence of God. That presence even the earth trembles before it. This is why you need to know how to be rooted in church, so that these things become your reality. Imagine the man went to the strongest nation and tells the king, let the God of the Hebrew sent me to you. Let my people go, that they misserve me. And the guy was shocked at the audacity me Pharaoh. They called him the song God. You come without an army, just with the staff. He didn't know that that road was the road of God. His wise man began to demonstrate power and turned their roads to serpents, mostly threw one down. It challenged all the wise men. You know, A point came that the wise man said, this thing happening is the finger of God. Nobody told them. Then one man destroyed the army of a nation because of what he carried. He came before he see not both. I mean, even if they were both, how do you call carry over five million people? And he stood before it, and the invincible one said, stretch your road. That means the guy was hearing echoes from another dispensation. He had traveled beyond the the echosystem where he was. He was tapping from frequencies of another. A on say stretch your your road. It was left. How we saw that there was a partnership. There was a kombo that was going on. Because when his turches wrought god'snssed, and they said, with the blast of his nose fries he patted the red sea. So when Moses saw that he was connected to another, we're calling the gates of Mahanai. When the armies of Heaven and the armies of Edward Kongwan. When Moses, too, that discovered that he was not alone. Mosses was embodied. They walked through nations that were hostile. Nobody could hurt them. The Bible said, he would see hon the amurright king of Heshborn panicked when they heard that they were coming. He's someoneed Belam to cost them. But when Bellam came, he discovered that's going chrantment against Jakob. He discovered there's no defnation against Israel. He knew that there was another. King that sat upon their praise. Their praise was a true. Business, business, your inheritance. So you you now go into the ward system. Can you be disadvantaged? You come with a presence, You come with a power, You come with a grace, ins that they gave a law concerning them. Touch not my anointed, do my prophets know how So nations strembled when they passed, and those who decided to make themselves enemies were annihilated from the face of time. They don't exist. Because from the Church is the power and the glory, the manifestation of the power. In fact, the Bible say, here we are sitted with Him in heavenly places, far above principalities and powers, above any name that is named, whether in this world or in the world that is to come. That's what happens to you, where you become part of the household of God. And this is the advantage we have, and we don't want to learn how to maximize it. So the angels wonder, especially when we are victimized and we are crying and they are wandering. No, you are not supposed to cry. Your life should be a wonder. If the church in the widerness knew that much, this church would know much more. Isaiah said, I and the children the Lord has given to me. We are for science, and we are for wonders. In Israel, even from the God of Zion, the man knew that there was something about him. I wish that there we come. When you entered the bank, you enter the market, you enter the academia, you will know that you are not alone. You will know that you are off Mount Zion. He said, For you have come to Mount. Zion, the city of the Living God. You have come to the heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable company of angel, to the spirit of justment made perfect, to the general assembly of the Church of the Firstborn, to the blood of sprinkling. The speaker, better things than the blood of Abel even to God Jodge of. Awe, you are not ordinaries. Look at the exploits of those who came before you. Is the time we felt me to speak of Barak, to speak of Gerta, to speak of David somewhere and the prophet who through faiths of duke kingdoms, we are king. Terms of duers, is that they obtained promises they're not Righteousness, is that they put to flight the. Armies of the alien. It's a weak man. So it doesn't matter how you came. Weak men were made valiant in battle. Weak men. That's when the little one becomes a thousand, and a small one becomes a great nation. Or how do you explain that fisher men became wise men that many generations after they are still partying the Pattering Epistle as phhd thesis in some of the biggest universities in the world. By what wisdom did they speak? That means they were communicating things that have their roots in literality. They were talking from foundations that were mot The echoes that came out of their. Spirit had millings from the Remy came and it would. Take men who the sons of time eons to study and to articulate the depths of what he said. That is the place you have been brought into. There are rams beyond physics, that are rams beyond chemistry. There are rems where the fingers of God's cops. Things upon the tablets of the hearts of men, and when men speak, their voices become memorials, edges. We study them. This is the wealth of the Church, and you are part of that church. You can't be like this, No, you can't. The time we come when we show up the excellency of the glory we manifest through us. Oh, they want to spons TV in the time when he should be in despair. The Bible said, he lifted up his face and he looked into Scion, and they said, ah, I see the Lord standing upon the truth. You know, when God stands, it means he wants to charge among the gods. That's a season where the monarch wants to express his powers and his government. But the guy cried and said, have messy. Those who looked upon him said his face was like an angel. That means what happened to Moses was not a fluke. What happened with Jesus on the amount of transfiguration was not a fluke. The regarment of those who are part of the assembly called the church is the glory of God. That's why Paul said, for this cause we've grown with a fail that we might be clothed. It is that we have a heavenly tabanacu our body when we got it, so that we can mount and access regardius. Oh, when you wear some of those regalias, you're all discover that you can't stand in power with angels and you are one. That's what happened to John when he was carried to heaven. He saw an angel he wanted to worship, and he said, no, I'm your brother. That means there it's a place where the rams are equalized. That is a place where it and heaven becomes one. The reason it and was created is to let you know that there's an equilibrassion between eternity and time. But only the Church have the powers to bring those just together so the two rents can become one. When you come here, you didn't come to an institution framed by man. When you come here, you come into an assembly that has his rules and ittality. Paul said, when he prayed for us, he said, we are part of the family that is named. Both in heaven and on earth. Mhm on the I am still. On the cover. Who are. Shoe the power the glory. Shoes Shoe Sarah Comarattia Fanatarus. The Bible said, poor collected let us. He wanted to go to Damascus to arrest brethren. While he was on his way, a light shone from every and the head, so so pfoul. The enemies of God are known there is they're not struck is messy, he said, white persecutors down me. Hampos said, who are you Lord? The question is why did you add lord? It means you and I we live in the rank god lordship. Because Paul never attacked Jesus. He was attacking the church. But Jesus said, white persecutors down me, and they said, who are you Lord? He said, I'm Jesus Christ, whom down persecutors. He felt down like a dead man. He said, rise up, going to the city. You'll be told what to do. See something will happen to some of you. That your boss that says you are finished, You will enter his office and they will look at you, and suddenly he will see ray that does not resemble anything from this realm. And then we begin to wonder where. Are you from? Where are you from? Because we are in the act, but we are not of the ead. The Bible say we are pea clams. Our nativity is Zion. And even why we yet walk here, we are plugged there because that's where our root is, that's where our sustendards is, that's where our powers lie, and that's why when we do the things we do here. It doesn't make sense to ethnings. When we pray tongues, they think we we skipprish. But what they don't understand is that him that's peak it in an unknown tongue, speak not onto men. He is that he may not be unders too, but in the spirity your talent mysteries because there are different languages. There is the language of men, there is the language of angel, and there's the language of God. So there is a height to get to that even angels can hear you speak only to God. Only God knows what we're saying. And at that time anything can happen, a gang can be created, even in prison. That was why when Paul was kept there, all the chance needed to do was to pray and Suddenly the creasy shook. The change fell on their owner card. Because even in the realm of men, there are audible languages, and there are inaudible languages. There are languages that change. Here, there are languages that gets here. Change fell on their owner cord, and the guy walked through the gate that led to the city. The gate up is that what you are part of? I you think you will be defeated. Can I prophesy to you? No weapon fashion against you? Shall prosper every tong that rises up against you. We stand here to condemn. Can I speak over you? Try? Bone shall rise again? It doesn't matter were life has shown you, But you are rising. You are mounting up with wings. I say you are mounting up with wings. Ah, I am. A fan. Come up in your pile. I s listening, seas speak spearing. I ask me you this. I speak like speak, I speak. Say, I say skill speed stealing. I don't speak, I speak. Speak, I speak loud, he speak, I say, I speak. Speaks lies. Speak Please here this Nothing that has his root in time can destroy you. You don't have in life. You don't only have in life. That is the motal you are connected to an institution that is important. When Saul was fighting the church, Jesus looked at him and said, it is hard to kick against the breeks. You can't upprove something that has his root beyond time. When God known but you in the Church, He made you, He made you with mot he made you invincible. Nothing can kill you, nothing can approve you. But you need to discern how to interact with this organic yet spiritual institution, because we'll be shore that even at the end of time, the church will remain because the church is also the future. It's not just the. Present, it's the future. Revelation of nineteen and seven. The Church is also the future. The Bible said at the end of time is that they will be glad and they will rejoice, for the marriage of the land is come. His wife has been made ready. So the church is actually being prepared for the age to come. You already entered. You have already entered the act that can pass into the gate ways of eternity. Be happy, be grateful that you are part of the Church of Jesus Christ. I'm not talking to denomination, talking the church. Be happy, be grateful, and be aware. Let's sit down and do a bit of study. If we continue, we will we will leave the Bible study for some sensing or that trajectorist m hm masura veata kill amanda kazus oh RABAHNDI. Don't allow time capture you. You are not a being of time. The anointed on your life is eternal. The government of righteousness has eitanner. The life of Christ that is in you is eternal. The presence of God that envelops use etaner. You were sent into time to dominate it, concuay it, don't let it conquur you. That's why your transaction must have a latitude that is eternal in it. Bring things from there, very things you were created to be a gateway. Don't let anyth entrap you to go. Oh my father, stop playing for one minute. Let me step down. God, we open our eyes to begin to understand the things he has given us. You know why the devil is fighting us to remain canna. It's because if we do what we have, even hell. We tremble. The problem is that we don't know, and we don't know because we are natural, we are logical. We are approaching things only scientifically. That's why we can't know it said, the natural man receive it, not the things of the spirit of God. He said, neither can he know them, because they are the spiritually designed. If you understood one thing that God has given you and understood it well, the world will be too small for your man infestation. I'm telling you, pick anyone at random, anyone you become a wonder to your generation. But God will help us. You know the problem with public conversations like this is that you can't even go deep. Because somebody will sit on the studio like this who knows nothing about the real caoting scriptures out or context, and he wants to say what he doesn't know. And then because many, many, many in the House of God, the babes who think only logically, they will be not there. As if he's saying something doesn't lead this YouTube generation, where they are hustling for money, you will never find them in crusade ground doing crusade. You will never find them on the street winning souls. You will never hear them sit down and do a series on Jesus Christ. For every other person who is winning souls and preaching Christ is the one they want to pick hero from his life. And and because they know they don't have a voice, and you will never engage them because they don't have a standing king. Because they don't have a standing king the kingdom. They will now use your picture to draw attention, and they'll be talking through your picture. If you have a voice, don't put the picture there. Talk. Let's see who we hear you, because they don't will know that to be heard this rank. They have not said here hear you. You want to say something, keep quiet and go and learn. And will glory to go. When when the drama attention to those things, I say, I'm too focused. You can be winning souls in millions and you are talking to somebody who you have never seen in the on the street. Will show you five teachings on Christ since. They said they know him the time. Oh my God, oh my father, and holl aslie. Don't be offended. Everybody is going somewhere. Praise God. So three things, two things very quickly. Number one. Is how to be planted in the church. So that you can make the most of this spiritual infrastructure that God has planted in the EtuM for your blessing and for your advantage. Now for you to really. Accept the ordinances, the tenants that governs and dictate how to be planted. You must first of all, understand that everything happening here is relationship. Based, and you must understand. That you're planting is a There is a is a revelation of the depth of the relationship you have with Jesus. Because our relationship with Jesus are in layers and they are in debt. I can't explain the depths because it is experiential, but I can show you the different layers. And depending on which layer you have accessed, it's what reflects the degree to which you will be willing to be planted in the church. Because every layer is a is a fragrance, it's a dimension to your relationship. So let me show you very quickly. They seven unique family based relationship that we have with Jesus because it will help your planting and your rootedness in him. The first is friendship. When you start interacting with Jesus as you come into the household of God, and you need to understand this is a household business because if you read your Bible Officials to nineteen, the Bible said, now, dear four, you are normal strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens. With the saints and of the household of God, Praise God. And that household of God is what the Church of God, because first TIMOLTI three fifteen said, if I tarry that you should know how to behave yourself in the house of God, which is the ground, the Church of the Living God, the ground and pillar of true So you are in the household of God, and the household of God is the child. Now that you are in the household of God, there are dimensions of relationship, and the first is friendship with Jesus. At this level, you have a connection with Jesus that is provoked by intimacy and the force of attraction that exists because of your understanding of who he is and the value propositions that he has. So when you come to him, you find love, you find mercy, you find kindness, you find patience. All of these will begin to draw you to him. So at that level you are convinced and convicted. Convicted because you see yourself as in the wrong and you put aside your old ways. Convinced because you see that this is the destination of your life. So an attraction is created. This is what draws you to the place of prayer. This is what draws you to the place of worship. This is what draws you to the place of service. You have found a new friend, and every day you come secrets are refit to you. That awakens your spirit and your passion, and you want more. This was where Jesus is dealing with his disciples begun from So if you read John chapter fifteen, that's fourteen and fifteen. Jesus said, you are my friends if you do whatsoever I command you. And he now added, hence foth I call you not servants, for savants know it not what the Lord do it. But I call you friends. For all the things I have heard of my father, I've made known to you. Now he's still calling God his father. They have not understood that the relationship relationationship is deep. It's still an attraction motivated by the values and the essence of the person. They have met. So they are drawn to him and they now obey the things he says to them. That's where you begin from. You come to charge you love the worship as their worshiping. You felt something that is beyond time. You've never experienced it. You don't even know what it is. You are hearing the teachings, the values that are being communicated. Your soul is blessed. You want to come again. You are drawn. You want to have a relationship with this Jesus, and then you start learning his ways and obeying that level. Jesus caused that level friendship. And look to a form the Bible speaking master. Now and I say to you, my friends, be not afraid of them that killed the body and after that can do no more harm to you. They began to address them as friends. That's why you show up on a weekly basis. You want to learn the ways of God. That's why you begin to apply the principles to your life. But you see, the more you get rooted, the deeper you begin to see the relationship because beyond the fair and the strata of friendship, there is a not a debt, where a point come. You now discover you are not just friends, but you are a bride. You are married to him, and you are not just bound by attraction. You are bound by covenant love, a love that he will never repent from nor change his mind. That's when you start seeing the uncondition nudity of that connection. Now you have a covenant there is a power. There is an investment of character and promise and ordinance on the Gods, on the pins and keeps that relationship together. The relationship actually runs on the protocol of that covenant. You are now his bride, so you are not just somebody that if he doesn't like anymore, he kicks away. There is an investment in this relationship. That's the second dimension. And each of this dimension can be explored. If I had time, I will show you Abraham explored the depths of friendship. So when you study Abraham's life, you see those. Degrees of commitments of God that left transcended narrations. That's friendship. The Bible called a brahm the friend of God. On the strength of that, see what Abraham became. And then the bride of Christ, which is higher than friendship, because this one now is covenant. It's what the Bible calls one husband. That I may present you as a chest virgin to Christ. This is God should pall some things, of course, said, you are not just the friend of Jesus, you are the pride of Jesus. The intimate say between you and him is sacred and it is covenantal in nature. He won't change his mind. He is willing to be vulnerable. That's what it means. He's willing to come down to your level and behave with you like equals. He's willing to strip himself before you and show you everything about his realm and have value to you. So when you come to church, you are coming to meet your friend. When you come to church, you are coming to have fellowship with your husband. This is what many of us don't know, and that's why we sit in church like spectators. Paul was teaching about marriage in Epicials five twenty five, and he said, husbands love your wife as Christ love the Church. He's telling you directly that Christ is the husband of the church. And I read to you from Revelation nineteen seven. He said, the church is prepared as his bride. Then number three, you are not just his bride. You are he is brother and his sister. So this time around is not just a covenant that binds you together. What defines his essence He shares with you the same way in the natural you are siblings because blood same blood runs through your vein. Are you seeing that the proximity and the power of the relationship is increasing. He now sees you as his brother and as his sister Hebrews two eleven. Except for both he that sanctified and there that as sanctified, are bought, one for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren. So your Lord and your Master and your Savior now cast you his brother and his sister Romans eight twenty nine. It's a him that if for you. He also predestinated to be confirmed to the image of the song, that the song might be the firstborn amongst many brethren. So we are friends, we are bride. Then we are brother and sister. Now use your natural relationships to understand what I'm saying. Hope you know that the feelings you have for your friend. Is different from the one you have for your wife or for your husband, and is different from the one you have for your brother or sister when you come to church, all of them combined. That's why what is going on here is deep, patter than any other relationship you can't find anywhere. He's both your friend, your husband, and your brother or your sister. And he doesn't stop there. He now took it a bit further. You are now made his children. This thing is beyond that's why the Bible said, this love is beyond comprehension. Those of you who are not your parents, they can help you quickly because you have no idea what it means to have a child. That love can be defined. Everything they do is interesting to you, even when they are troubling you. I've kissed my children more than two million times. Sometimes it's like you want to eat them. You can't explain it. You love your wife passionately. You think that's the height of love. That you now start giving back to children when they are coming around you are looking at it's. Like a small version of yourself. Oh my god. You know you will be expposed to love in layers as you grow in life. While you are in primary school, your friend is your everything, best, this pastis that's a layer. You know. Discover you have. I not that dimension entirely that have not been activated until you start having siblings. You announced that discovering, and not that dimension that you have never explored until you grow beyond puberty and you start seeing attraction, feeling attraction to the opposite sex. Then you get married. Then you start seeing another dimension when you start giving back to children. All of these feelings and expression of law is got that together as one. That's what exists between us and Christ. And in this speed it. The Bible calls us his children Isaiah fifty three vers. Tn it please the Lord to bruise him, and they are put in to grief. When that shall make it so an offering for seeing. He said, he shall see his seed, and he shall prolong his days. So we are his seed. The Bible calls us his seed. We are his offspring, We are his children. That's why the Bible said in Galatian Street twenty six, for you are the children of God. By faith in Christ Jesus. Are you seeing the dimensions of love? See if you choose anyone to explore it, to eat up your soul, you can't exhaust it. Whether is the friendship or the covenant relationship of him being your husband, or the broadly sisterly relationship or the song father relationship, you can't finish it. And then to blow your mind beyond being his child, the. Bible now say you are one with him. You are a member of his body. He is right hand, you. Are left hand, he's left hand, your right hand. You become one insapporable dimension of connection or connectivity. See what the Bible says First Corinthians twelve twenty seven. Now you are the body of Christ and members in particular. There's a level of relationship where you feel. There's another level where you can't feel. You are just one. The way your stomach can feel your hand. It has gone past feeling is now one ness. What the stomach actually have felt is the same thing the hand is feeling. So does no need to feel you? Are you who is feeling? You are the one. It's that him that is joined to the Lord is one spirit with it. He made you and Him one intrinstically connected and inseparable for all eternity. So when you are coming into Cheorge, you need to understand that you're actually coming into you. Because you are one with him. That's why I'm surprised when people are angry, I said, they don't go to church anymore. You were never in child. It's like being angry with your body and clearing your body apart. You can depart unless you were never a part of it. Can you be angry with your body and take your body off? You are one with him. So it begins from friendship to his bride to his brother and sister, to his offspring. Then to him, you and him become one. This is what church is. This is why you have to be rooted, because this is you in you. And if you don't have this revelation, you will still be seeing the church as an institution that you visit to learn. Or to receive something and to go away. But that's not how it is. Number six. He now made you to become an extension of himself, so you are not just one with him anywhere. You go, Now he goes with you. You become his extension. John fifteen five. He said, I am the vine, you are the branches. I am divine. You are the branches. So we are not just one. You are not my extension. So you didn't just come in to me. I flow out through you. And then he didn't stop there. He now went further and made us number seven joints with him. Everything that belongs to him he now shares with us. I mean we can be one with him, and now inherit what he has. Romance eight sixteen and seventeen. The Spirit himself be a right witness with our spirit that we are the children of God. And if children thens and ifs then joineds with Christ. If so be that we suffer with Him, so that we are glorified with him. So we are joined s with him because we are children, and if we follow through, we will be glorified with him. Are you seeing that? So? These are depts, These are dimensions rather of relationship. You're planting now is what will determine the depts you will access. All of us have this relationship equally. But the degree and the intensity of our manifestation is the extent to which we dig into it. This is why you must know how to be planted. So let me show you how to be planted in church, or how you should function in the church, or how you should. Relate in the church. Because some of us we are not receiving much, because we are either strangers or we are spectators. So how should I be planted? Number one? How should I relate with church? How should I see church? How should I interact with church? Number one? Relate with church as a member of a body. Relate with church as what a member of what a body? The way your eye is part of your body, your hand is part of your body. That's how you should see yourself when you get into charge. Don't sit down and act like I don't know what to do. Nobody told me what to do. You are a vital part of this organism. No body is more a member than you. Now this expression where all of us are here, I am not more a member than you are. All of us are part of the body. The body may have a structure that regulates it. That the brain coordinates the body does not mean the brain is more of the body than the hand. It's just functionality. So you must see yourself as a member of the body. First Corinthians twelve, verse twelve to fourteen. See the pictures Poor labored to paint by the spirit. Except for as the body is one and hat made many members, and all members of that one body being many are one body. So or so is Christ. You know what Paul was saying here, Now it's both Jesus and the child that he caught Christ here in this context it referred to Jesus as head and referred to you as body. So there is a place where you and I are called Christ. That's why I say, what does Christ have. To do with bellya? It's within the context of the body or the child. For by one spirit. Are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentis, whether we be bond or free, whether we. Bond or free, have been all made to drink into one spirit. That's fourteen. For the body is not one member, but many, So all of us are different members of one body. That's what power was advocating. You are a member of the body. Were function in different places, but we are one body. We are beyond broad and sister, brother and sisters a layer. We are one body. If you understand this, you can't think evil of the next verson. There can be jealousy, there can be competition, there can be a fense. My mom taught me many years ago is that the tongue and the teeth live inside the mouth. The tith protects the tongue, but they sent teeth by the tongue, and they live together. When you find somebody trying to swing to another person in charge, somebody trying to to take advantage of another person, he has not got in the revelation that we are one body. So that person is not properly situated in on account of that certain things trafficking in charge, he can not partake of it. Number two, how do you relate with child? Relate in submission to spiritual leadership? Because this body need coordination. That's why God sets up the structure Hebrews thirteen seventeen. He said, Oh, bear them have rule over you, he said, for the watch, he said, and submit yourself to them, for the watch over your soul, as they must give account, and that they will do it with joy and not with grief, for it is unprofitable for you. If they do it with grief. Are you seeing this? You never find the leg refusing to receive signals from the brain. To start coordination. And then if the if the brain is sending signals through the neuron systems coordinated through the nerve system into the body, there is perfect coordination. The leg will not say no, only the brain. I must see the context before I take instruction. That's not how it walks. What comes from the brain can read the leg through the nets. Dog Am I talking something here? Mhm. The problem with some of you is you are in the unit. You are now thinking who is this one that says the leader? Where are you from? That would be your leg insisting that. The only way I can take instruction is when they head moved from me and come here. If they head don't talk to me directly, there's no way I will. We don't know how to interact because we have not seen the charge in its full picture. I wish I will allow doctor to come and give us a five minutes lecture on transmissions in the body. Some of the things that send the instruction to different parts of your body. They are so tiny and look so irrelevant. But those lymphatics is in limpatic systems, those nerve systems, and they want that transmit sickners your body, your base. Giant organs, small organs, they all follow, so you can be a giant where you are. Whatever transmit the instruction follow is a coordinated system. This leader they brought now only let's see what he can do. The co a first meeting, you cross your leg. You are looking in different directions because you have prepared yourself for him to know that he needs to prove himself here. Otherwise he can't tell you what to do. You have become a said and what opposed to cancer is that it's caught off. That's why some of us are big year til the eleventh and we are wanting it's not always about size. Science must be regulated. If your eye become as big as your head, that's probably I noticed something when my children were growing up. I didn't pay attention before. Surprisingly, when they are one, their hand, the height. Of their hand is at the level of their head. So when they leave their hand, their. Hand is like this. This the height. As they are growing, their hand is now growing taller than their head at four hand. Now what's going on? That was when it turned on me. If the head is growing like the hand is one years old, the hand is as tall as the head. Imagine see me now, imagine if I leave my hand and that's the height of my head. When I can't here would you go wrong? So it's not about size, it's about coordination. We know you are big, but relaxed. It is coordination. Glory glory to God. Submit, submit, and just enjoy yourself. In first Asaloni as five twelve and thirteen, he said, no them with labor among you, and esteem them highly in love for their responsibility sake. I'm showing you this so that you can make the most of charge. We are an arrogant generation. The moment they put somebody in charge, you start hearing more money everybody's. Trying to prove that I know too much. What do you think you can tell me. You know, but you are not the one giving the role if you truly know, that's why you should submit that. You are trying to rebase the proof that you don't know, and that's why you were not the one choosing. You're just justified the reason why you were not the one. Number three, don't despise any function or any operation or any unit. Look at your body. There are different parts of your body that you have. To wash on the daily basis, because if you don't wash, they bring stench, they bring out spad, but you don't despise it. There are some you wake up every day and wash, and there are orders that every time you use your wash, but you don't despise them. So who now told you that you can come to church and start despising certain things. Paul said that the part of the body that appear not to be most noble is the one that received the greatest ky and protection. That's the church. Don't come in and dispise. Some people come and they look around. This church is a poor chior too. Because when they went to car pack, they packed the biggest car they were strolling in. They sought for the cars and the four cars. If you sell them and combine the money, they can buy some parts of the one they packed. They an now starts saying, Lord, this is the church you said to me to. When they're not enter, people will sit like this. They will sit up at the back and leave two roads. They are watching first to see why on earth did God leave them here? Do you want me to help them? And go away? Fast? Or we'll be coming up. You'll say, see the. Shoe of pastor. I hope they wooster asking me for money here. Fast? Or is breaching? Say? Why is this shouting like this? Hope? It's not hunger. It's not trying to impress people to give money. Your heart has been polluted already. M You can't receive, You can't make the most you're Inherit transits among them that are sanctified. It's not individual. You come to church, you sit down, Ah this Chorge. If a you Giorgio, Oh wow, that's why God brought you so that the torch you no longer have you a youth judge? And that for those why in the Western world you ain't a judge? Everybody is in their sixties and seventies. You are like a ah oh josh Is. If God let you there stay and grew there that be planted, they will flourish in the house of God. He knows why he sent you. Don't despise Hebrews ten twenty four. He said, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exerting one another. We have some elders here who have inspired me so much from day one. They never miss any service. They're always there, hm, and they blessed us greatly. They're the ones who give us counsel and guidance. Imagine when they came there, said the energy has too much. Please, please, please. There was a time when we had only one elder. Now we have a section for elders. So don't despise. The problem is that is the ones who should be despised, sometimes ironically are the ones who come like peacocks. No, you can't play it. Like that, even when you sense error and deficiency in love. Correct, he said, we should exhort one another. It's a day that are strong should bear the buddings of the week. People don't know how to be situated. That's why they can't receive. There are some who even get ashamed when they should be helped. They are like, I just come here to hear the world of God. How can I know this family? Every family have infants and they have great grandfather If the family is really blessed, so that they. Are infants does not mean that you don't be great grandfathers. It's more glorious when you have one year old and ninety five years old. Praise God. That's shrug. Don't despise number four all the ways. Have the posture of love and unity in your heart. See, some of us come with offensive and abbressive disposition. You're coming to church. Even the users and the greeters are the door. They are greater your he as if you are prepared for war. You are not going to war. You are coming home. The moment there' start any conversation, you are set like a lioness who wants to hunt. They say what I beg. No, No. See, let your heart be ready to accept an absorble offense even before it comes. That's how you position yourself. You should be convinced and passuaded before you can accept something that is wrong to be the state. You should make a defense because of how much you believe in the church. And I'm not saying them be discerning or naive. Praise God. Have a lot of bandwid a lot of accommodation. In love, so that you needy can prevail, because a how divided against itself Mark three twenty five cannot stand. Jesus was speaking in John teeny four thirty five. By this shall all men know that you are my disciples? By this shall all men know that you are my disciples if you love one another? Next verse, immediately he said this, See the next thing. Simon Peter said, un to him, Lord, without thou goest. Jesus answered him, whither I go, and not follow me? It's ay, but down shall follow me. Afterwards, No go to thirty five. We have gone to far go to and answered a new commandment I give on to you. This is what I'm thinking. I'm looking for, that you love. One another as I have loved you, That you also will love one another. Love to afford, let your love for beer, let your love forgive, Let your love accommodate. Some of us are too shallow when it has to do with love. That's why even though we have got that together we are not one. Go and look at the early church. See how they grew in power. It took one ness. Look twenty four to forty nine. Jesus said, tarry until you are endued with power from on high. So they are together. Their next already was a precursor for power. And then in acts to this one, the Bible said, they were in one accord, and certainly they had the sounders of Erossian mighty win they have being in one accord or pun the heavens. And then you got to Act two forty six isaid this time they were not just in one accord. It says singleness of heart. So they went beyond being together because they were in one building to haart connection. At that point they became invincible singleness of heart. So they migrated from being together to being in one accord, to becoming single of heart. Being together is you are confined in one place. Being in one accord means you are operating as one. You are thinking as one. That means one philosophy and one operation guards you. We pray together, we fast together. But singleness of heart means you are now connected, you are bonded. This is what makes the church invincible. Praise God. Number five. When you come into church, come as a serving member. Not a consumer. Come with the disposition to serve is your father's house. You don't work up at all. Men, cross your leg. You're not the head of the home. When you're coming yourself, you can serve with your hand. Some guys are standing there maintaining order somewhere outside. When the church started directing people. You can serve like that, and then you can serve with your exparties. That's why you see that, because the church is the ground where we render help. We have a team of lawyers here. There are people who have cases. They don't have money for God. I reach out to the lawyers. We have this issue. They respond, they are serving with the axmatist. We have a team of doctors here. They go for our treaches, medical treaties. And then when members for sick and we pray and they can't pick the frequency from the anointing, we're called the medical people. You think I'm Jesus, argue them all. Look at you. You are fighting with the right and they left rest God. If power can't do it, let wisdom do it. Don't kill yourself. I call the doctors. And they atturned to them. They don't have money to go to the hospital. Cuill up can't get whatever. We have consultants here, the. Same people who are lords of the hospital, but in thought they are servants. So when you call, they say, don't worry. They put their car through, they give diagnosis and things begin to walk. If we have to hospitalize them, were these doctors walk. Sometimes we pay the hospital, but the doctors lend their expertise and in some cases some put them in their hospitals. So you serve with your expertis and then you serve with your resources. That are people who every Sunday, the moment is twelve. They send them a lot. We know busses bring people to church. We know you buy theesus. That's just they just sit down. When you said join the department, they're already in the very serious department. And may God increase those departments. When we are going for CRUSAI conference, you don't need to. They just. They just send something. They are serving with their resources. They are those who are serving with their time. Every week, we have interuccessors who pray at different hours. So the things you see happening they are provoked. They are men who carry their bodies in the place of prayer. We have counsel or see that when first time it has come, they follow them. They call them every week just to make sure that what they had translates to something. So when you come in, look for how best you can serve. Number One, you render yourself. Don't say I will serve based on my convenience. No service is governed by setting ordinances. Number one is where God leads. You to to serve. And if God is not leading you, the leadership can assign you. And if the leadership does not assign you, check the area where you have grace, because sometimes service will require that you sacrifice. Praise God. So God, the leadership by that assigns you, or the area you have grace will make for where you should sa But by all means save they do you read your Bible that first said even widows who are in their sixties, first said they should sit. I do in George, I do in George. It says such widows should be helped if they wash the feet of the. Saints, if they receive visitors and are hospitable, if they have good character and a good testimony. These are widows in their sixties. First said those ones to shoose out because service and gender's reward, and service also transforms you. I thought somebody yesterday. The only thing you do in the kingdom that activates every aspect of your life. In service, the moment you start saving, every antenna begins to read is the only thing God uses to read every component of your life. At the same time, when a man starts saving, you can tear the level of his revelation. When a manster saving, you can tear the level of his maturity. If a manster saving, you can tell the disposition of his heart. If a man starts saving, you can tell everything about that person starts reading instantly. That's why we never outgrow service. So when you are in charge, you are in chart to serve your God and your Father. So beyond the responsibility there is reward and this transformation. You are not even serving to be blessed. When you serve, you will enjoy the blessings because it matchrus you into the blessing that's already available. It activates your faith to draw the blessing that's already available. But beyond that, it transforms you beyond that, it prepares you for eternal re world. And beyond that, this is find that I am chop believer who is taking responsibility in his father's house or in her father's house. This is how you get planted in charge. Don't they should? I encourage you and now service no where you come, find out approach leadership. Please, I don't know how I do this. I understand this. In case I may be needed to render service, I'll be most grateful to. And then they tell you, okay, go to school's buitual foundation. Understand some visitings where you finish comments are that's how you are preying charge. Heaven bear me witness I save from the day I entered children. I don't know how to be idle. Some of us we almost became distracted with service because we were doing many things. Those who know us, we tell you when there's a conference, let me not go with take over time. But please serve. Any area you have grace, make sure it's deployed, sharp, pull it in service any area. God leads you to go and serve. Even if you're offended. Don't leave the service because of the person you are not serving. The person you are serving God and any area you are signed save if it becomes so inconveniencing for you to serve, tell leadership so that you can be reassigned. But by all means saf all of us. Won't be anxious, but all of us can do something in the House of God, Praise God. This is how you get planted in the House of God. Number six, Make sure you are vitally involved in kingdom advancement. Now, service is a way of advancing kingdom. But when I said kingdom advancement in this context and speaking things that brought down the Great Commission, that's one area of service that all of us was participating. Anything that has to do with so Winni and discipleship, make sure you have a role there. This is why we have some more ushers. Some are sanitary people, some are security people, some are in the service team, some are in the choir. But when you come to so Winni, we say all of us should go out because it was. Giving to every member. Go year into all the worlds and disciples on nations Mark sixteen fifteen. This gospel should be preached in all the world Mark sixteen seventeen. There that believes you go and the science will follow them. So it's not for evangelists, it's for every one of us. If it has to do with so winning, be involved every month. I'm telling you every month, I'm telling you your and be wrong winning souls any day anytime. One thing you can tell God is involved in is saving souls. Don't let others do it while you watch. If you can go, go, If you cannot go, give, if you cannot. Give, pray. But by all means, make sure you're involved. They said they are winning sauce or they are discipling. Let no body talk you out of it, and don't let anybody do it on your behalf. When sauls are worn, be sure. That you have a part in it. I can't tell you the blessings enough with singity every day, say on a monthly basis. Let there be times when you go out to win souls, no matter how busy you are. At least ones the one they do every first up today of the moon, follow them, and if you can't do the other ones when they are going, take a portion of money and put inside. Nothing is too big, nothing is too small in its hat that determines the value of what you give, not quantity, and then when they're out there, take out twenty minutes and pray. This is what church is about. We are here to disciple nations. We win them, We disciple them, and we commission them so that they too can win others. Praise God. Number seven. Be part of the priesthood. We have prayer departments because we pray sometimes in a very very consistent manner because of what we are dealing with. And then sometimes we have to carry out strategic priesthood engagements, so. We need to have dedicated people. But hear me, the whole church is a priestly church in the ideal sense. There's nothing like prayer department. We have it because we have to have it so that at any time there is need for prayer. They are people, but the church is a priestly church. The Bible said a first bitter to nine. You are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood. All of us, the Bible said in Revelation one six, all to him that wort doors and made us priests and kings onto God. Here this be vitally involved in prayer. If you are not, you will be lost. Even though you are part of the congregation. Don't let anybody prayer on your behalf and he stops there, of course we intersit for one another. Make sure your voice is head in zion. Because you do, you are a priest, and if you don't do it, you will begin to notice deficiencies attacks in the sphaares that God has put you in charge because you will not have the authority to bring priest to there. Because a priest is one who stands before God on the behalf of people, and one who represents God to God to people. This is why you must make sure. That the vitality and the viability of your priesthood is intact. Don't be in that state where prayer becomes something you hear during prayer meeting or during prayer session. Be vital Some people come late. They don't they don't want to be patter of the prayer. They are waiting. When it's a person who coming up, you will lose out a huge chunk of what is available for the church. Be vitally involved in the priest too. If you are struggling with prayer, get somebody who is prayer, make him your friend, Tell him to call you, tell him. To follow you up, give him access and be careful. I'm not saying this. You'll call you tomorrow and say give me ten thousand. If you'll find any soft people, report them because I know the ones that will send you text message. After one week they said, the Lord said this, the lost say give me money. The churches like a dry cleaning Presso some clothes came here yesterday. Others have not been ironed. Even though they look like they are washed, they are not. Have I ever called any of you and say give me money. Is there anybody here, whether stylishly or directly what I'm sensing now, bring money. Never It wasn't done by the apostles. We don't have the authority to do it. So let no body here in any guys call you, or pressure you, or co ask you to give them money or space in your house, or command attentions from you. They don't have that authority. Praise God. But what I'm saying is this, when you find who has fire, drop loose and tell them to motivate you unto yours too. Is lead, You know the principle when you have one can't do that is lead. You don't need to go loose for fire. You share, So make sure that you to become a prayerful person to a degree that you can hear from God for yourself. If all you here is what I preacher, you are hearing five percent of what God is saying. What I preach is designed to open you up so that you can start hearing from Heaven. Praise God. So be if you say you are part of the church, be part of the prayer ministry of the church. All of us are invited. First voy to verse one and eight project that scripture. Let them see it. I not. Therefore the first of all supplication, prayer, intercession, and giving off tanks be made for all men. This is part talking turning Timothy to talk to the truth. Verst. Two. I will there for that verse two, verse two he sair for kings and for all that are authority, that we. May lead a quiet and peaceable. Life in all godliness and honesty. Now go to verse eight. I will there for that men pray everywhere, lifting. Up holy hands without doubting. Every man every woman here should be part of the prayer. Jesus said, men ought always to pray and not to fain. Look it's in verse one he spake a parable to them onto this wise that men ought always to pray, So don't get anybody tell you any says all I pray on your behalf. They start calling you by two am. I'm on the mountain. Now, this is what God is saying. Thank you. You pray your prayer to and when the church is praying, be part of it. Some of us only come when there's miracle service or when there's prophetic service. You can't go far like that. Be rooted in prayer. Be rooted. That's when you gainst tacture to assess every heritage that's. Available for you and to you. Glory to God. And when God starts blessing you, don't run away from prayer because there are many that when God starts blessing them in essence, finally keep and become a watcher of the Gate of holiness. We are people that must. Carry oieir on our head, and our garments must be pure. Don't come into chok and allow anybody corrupt your sanctuary because there are all kinds of people in the church. Don't let anybody put a dent on your garment, no matter what it's called. Not the pastor not the leader of your unit. Not a friend there. If you're part of this movement. God charge your garment must be pre because the bride is looking forward to having is a. Chaste, pride without spot, without wrinkles. If you come to church and from a clique with people who adopt anything that defies you have detrap yourself out of God's house. There are some who are a clique of rebellious people. When God is speaking, leadership is giving instruction, they look at themselves, go and ask Miriam and error. When you vallet the structure, you valleid God, not the individual. And I'm telling you especially these people that operate in some of these departments where they don't think prayer is part of. You know, when you come to child there are some departments. They assume they should pray and the other department they think is expertise based like media and technical. That you are carrying speaker on your shoulder does not mean you are not a spiritual man. You are a priest carrying speaker. You must understand it. You're not a technician. You can't shun out to your walk, but you are a priest who is carrying speaker. What red about the levies they do? Are the walk in the house of God. So you are a priest or pratis out most. When you see most and their meny like that you see outside, they are justing when they are praying or what you know, they are chatting with their friends. Who are you? I'm usher, nobody is coming again. Even when they are praying, they're not part of it. They're just standing and talking to themselves. Just you see some protocol, guys, they depart. I'm not calling you out. I'm reminding you of who you are. You are a priest in protocol. You are priest in usher, you are priesting technical, you are a priest in media. You are a priest in choir. There is a generation where the choir members they connect when they sing and disconnect. In fact, it's so bad that when one is leading another's operating form and chasin when it is his time to now come up, he will put them for aside. And sometimes the videographers do a great job. They showed them when they were disconnected from worship, why somebody else was leading. Now when they now come up, you now see them. They close their eyes, they leave their hands. That's when God came. Some people knee down and they start crying. So when the other person was worshiping God. They were playing football. All your sanguaries be defied. The Bible said, there was a time when the sons of God came to present themselves to God. It's a Setain also came. So when we got that here, don't be deceived. Ceturan also and sometimes it comes in the likeness of the songs of Benia. So they are the ones who come to teach rebellion. They're the ones who come to teach corruption. They sit between child They are talking with you like I'm less people. After two weeks they get your number. There's start chattering you every night. The next thing they want to come to your house. And then you discover that immorality has begun. Don't let anybody cor off your sentuary. You must keep your gate, guard your ground. People can make you fall in charge. Hope you know that. When they were just two in Eden, one made the other one for. And don't make the miske of thinking because somebody made you for. It will be the person when God met Edam, it says the woman you give me, they d I tell you to eat it. He thought he would be excused by accusing Eve. He was equally guilty. Don't let anybody defy you. Some of you you caught fire and came to child. You were burning until. They were prayed. Somebody told you all these people self, I don't know why every day like birds. Can to be this. And they saw the seed into your heart you did or prout it? And now I don't know you that? Oh I can I challenge the institution? Can I challenge the authority? Your hatody is talking, he lowers his voice. I beg you. They talk too much. You didn't know before that you could challenge hecho D. You thought h D represented the possible and the postile represented Jesus. Now they have introduced you to corruption. Oh so I can talk against him nothing. You know after service, you not hear more. You ain't charge. You thought everybody was revived. That's why you know the awards in including because the guy who was praying and sweaty, you and him start talking, You'll think you will encourage you. After three weeks he said you are beautiful. He said okay in the Lord, yes, m h you're not left real meeting. Put his hand on your shoulder and I starts hugging you. Brother has ended. Hey, Hey, hey, get deep behind me, satter you want to be planted in charge, keep your head always with O and your garment without stain. Even passed away because we are to godly hour starts saying something. Tell you? What are you saying? Can I tell your wife? Hm? If it's not married? Can I share this testimony?

For the grace. Pray that the grace and the glory of God will come upon him afresh. Ask the Lord to annoying him afresh. Pray that the Lord will empower him afresh, that every virtue that has left him will be restored in greater measure. Pray that God do not forsake him and will not leave him. We so decline in Jesus name, Hallelujah. You may be sitd in God's presence. So this Encounter Jesus, we are an Apostolic center, and the tribal songs that do the will of the Eavely Father we are praised, that bear the Lord's body.
