The Eternal Plan of God

[0:00] Welcome. Thank you for choosing to listen to another destiny-changing word by David Entry from one of our Revival Seeking Youth services. If you want to control your world, catch the word. Be blessed.

[0:14] Let's read chapter 1 verse 1.

[0:44] Blessed be the God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ who has blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heaven, places in Christ.

[0:56] According as he has chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love. Amen.

[1:14] Amen. Verse 70. In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins according to the riches of his grace, wherein he has abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence.

[1:33] Having made known unto us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure which he has perposed in himself.

[1:43] That in the dispensation of the fullness of time, he might gather together in one, in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth, even in him.

[2:04] Amen. Amen. Amen. Let's read verse 10, Ephesians 1.10. Can you give it to us in the Amplified and then we will try the American, New American Standard Version.

[2:23] Then we will try the English Standard Version. So Amplified, English Standard Version. The Amplified said that he planned for the maturity of the times and the climax of the ages to unify all things.

[2:44] To unify all things and head them up and consummate them in Christ.

[3:07] Both things in heaven. Let's look at the other version. With a view to an administration suitable to the fullness of the time.

[3:20] Today I'm going to teach you something very heavy. I pray that I stay focused. If I stay focused, some of you can't take it.

[3:31] But it will be meat to chew for the rest of your life as a Christian. It's quite heavy.

[3:45] All right. That's what the problem is. You read the Bible. This sounds very convoluted. Isn't it? With a view to an administration suitable to the fullness of the time.

[4:01] What's the meaning of that? No, even if you're an English professor, this will be a problem. There are so many of them in the New Testament, especially Paul's writings.

[4:14] It's loaded with so many. For instance, the one that comes really to mind is Ephesians chapter 1, I think verse 18. Yeah, verse 18. When he says that the eyes of your understanding be enlightened, that you may know what is the hope of his calling.

[4:29] And what are the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints. What's the riches of the glories of his inheritance in the saints?

[4:40] It's not straightforward. But the one we read previously, we just read, is more a problem than even the previous one.

[4:52] But in places like this are hidden gems. But it's not grammar that makes you understand. But revelation. Listen to what I mean.

[5:03] I am not saying that there are things written that you just read it and say, God is giving special revelation. And the grammar doesn't say it. The grammar must agree with what you are saying.

[5:14] So if we break the grammar into comprehension. If we talk about comprehension. Anybody at all who has good understanding of English literature.

[5:26] Should be able to understand what is meant. But in application, how does it, what's really, what's the meaning in application? You know, you can read something and understand what the text is saying.

[5:39] But what is the meaning? I'm talking more about what is the meaning. In the first place, even if you take it on the surface. With a view to an administration.

[5:53] That's understandable. But before you, administration is suitable. Administration is suitable. Okay. To the fullness of the times.

[6:05] Ah. What does that mean? Administration is suitable to the fullness of the times. That's interesting. That is.

[6:18] The summing up of all things in Christ. It's not getting very interesting. So that seems to be understandable more readily than the other one. So that's why I say I'm explaining it.

[6:32] That is to say he summed up everything, all things in Christ. Say in Christ. In Christ.

[6:43] Say in Christ. In Christ. All things. He said just for you to know. Things in heaven. Things in the heavens and things on the earth. In him. Christianity is all about in him.

[6:56] In him. Where do you live? In him. In him. Where do you live? In him. Did you say pick him? Where do you live? In him. Your identity should be.

[7:07] You know, Paul said that all things are countless. That I'll be found. Verse 9. 3 Philippians. 3. 9. Be found in him. Woo. This is so Christian.

[7:20] That if you are not a Christian, you have to be taken systematically to understand justification, forgiveness of sins for this to make sense to you. If you don't appreciate, if you don't really know what the importance of forgiveness of sin is, this in him thing doesn't mean anything to you.

[7:39] That's why catechism, genuine, pure Christian catechism should start with the fundamentals. And what are the fundamentals?

[7:51] Salvation. Why are you a Christian? You don't even know what salvation is about. What kind of Christian is this? The fundamental salvation, which then begins to bring to bear the terms I was teaching you.

[8:05] Justification. Sanctification. Redemption. Forgiveness of sins. Woo. I love that one a lot.

[8:17] Forgiveness of sins. And then reconciliation. Me and God is okay. The Bible says me and God is okay. That's reconciliation.

[8:28] We're fine. We're fine. It's okay. Have you seen some people who used to be together? Maybe they were in love or romance or something. And they became enemies. They're fighting. Later on, you saw them together.

[8:39] You say, we're fine. We're fine. We're now cool. We're cool. We're cool together. You and God is okay. You're fine. Tell someone, me and God, we're fine. Hey, be careful as you are saying it.

[8:50] Don't lie. So, back to the text. New America to sum all things in him.

[9:03] We'll come back to that. Now, let's go to the ESV. English Standard Version. That's what ESV means. Ask a plan for the fullness of time to unite.

[9:17] You see, that phrase, the first one. Ask a plan for the fullness of time to unite all things in him. Things in heaven and things of...

[9:28] So, see, this is shorter. It's a bit manageable. Let's look at... Ask a plan. Ask a plan for the fullness of time.

[9:40] Look at the previous version. With a view to an administration suitable to the fullness. See, the fullness of time is coming back.

[9:51] But with a view as a plan. With a view to an administration. Say administration.

[10:03] Administration. Okay. So, with this and that. N-A-S-B. With a view.

[10:14] Okay, let's see how King James postage. I'm teaching you how to do Bible studies. Yeah. Yeah. That in the dispensation of the fullness of times he might gather.

[10:26] So, you see, with the plan. The other one says, with English standard version. In English standard version. Ask a plan for the fullness of time.

[10:40] American standard version. American, sorry. New American standard version. With a view to an administration suitable for the fullness of time. I'm leaning more towards this.

[10:52] I really like this one. King James and then New King James. King James. That in the dispensation of the fullness of time. A certain word.

[11:02] The other one says administration. This one says dispensation. Did you notice that word? Dispensation. Administration. The other one says plan. Okay.

[11:14] A plan. New King James. Does New King James say any different? In the dispensation of fullness. New King James. Now, let's go to the Amplified.

[11:26] See, I have not mentioned some of those baby ones. Baby. That one may take us off completely. Of course. He planned.

[11:38] And dispensation. The fullness of time. He said. He planned. That's actually dispensation. He planned. For the maturity of the times. That's the fullness of the time.

[11:51] And the climax of the ages. Woo. That's even climax. You know what climax is? When you hit the climax. Really, sometimes you can't go beyond the climax.

[12:05] You are done. You are done. Finish. Finish. Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Gradually, moving towards the climax.

[12:19] Say, the climax. Climax! Climax! Not the climate. The climax. What's the meaning of climax? Peak. Peak what? Peak what?

[12:30] The highest point. The highest point. Wow. Yeah. The highest point you can get. this is amplified.

[12:41] I actually like that one. Because the climax is there. For the maturity of times and the climax of the ages.

[12:56] For the maturity of time. That means time is growing. Growing. It's growing. It's growing. At what point in time do we say time has finished growing?

[13:13] I'm drawing your attention to something. At what point in time do we say time has now finished growing? But was there a time when time was born?

[13:27] This is philosophical, isn't it? If time is growing, on every timeline, you can see a beginning. And climax on the timeline is meaning when, so when you are into project management, on the timeline, you can see when everything is starting and what should follow, what should follow, what should follow.

[13:52] Any project manager should have a timeline timeline, and the timeline must have the beginning and the climax. So, but that if we are trying to erect this stage and we have to start by laying carpet or buying the carpet, you might not even think about the screen because you don't know there's a screen coming.

[14:17] All you think is we are buying carpet to put it here. Then after the carpet was put here, you think you are done only to realize that you finish your job and go, but there's someone who builds stage.

[14:28] The person comes in, but he can't come in until Moses has finished his work. So, there is a program, there's a timeline, and everybody comes to play a role at that timeline.

[14:43] That's why in the fullness of time, God sent for his son. Jesus couldn't have come before David. He couldn't have come before, and David couldn't have come before Abraham.

[14:56] And Abraham is not an afterthought. It wasn't an accident that he was so good a person, God decided to do some things with his life. No! He was part of the plan.

[15:07] Oh! Because there is a climax. And so, everyone you see mentioned has, was planned. Did you see that word?

[15:19] Remember the word? The plan. Oh! God's got a plan! Put the plan in ESV. Ask a plan!

[15:31] And what was the plan? For the, what was the climax? The plan was not just for now and you go. Just bless me, Lord, and let me go.

[15:42] I need a marriage. I need a man. I need a job. I need a, please! There's a plan! There's a program! God has a eternal plan!

[15:55] He's a program, a project manager! Yeah! Wow! The fact that you are interested in someone's wife since you're a child doesn't mean he has to change his plan to now make, make it, it's okay to marry somebody's child, somebody's wife.

[16:09] Because you're a child, you're born like that. Since you're a child, you've always been interested in people's wives. So, God should change them. He's changed his system of operating, so because, he has to include you.

[16:23] And you, you want him to change for you to fit in. Not that you won't change to fit in his plan. He should change to fit you small, you small, maggoty kind of thing in.

[16:38] There's a plan! Before you were born. But when did this plan even start? What you haven't realized? I read it in Ephesians, but you didn't realize it.

[16:50] We haven't, we haven't gotten anywhere, but everything is coming together. Say there's a plan. Say there's a plan. There's a plan.

[17:01] And there's a climax. There's a climax. I think there's also an anti-climax. What's an anti-climax? A disappointing end to an exciting or impressive series of events.

[17:19] You have come to church. Look at how you are preaching to people on the street. Look at how you are doing well in the choir. Look at how you are doing well in the ashes.

[17:32] Look at how you feel when you are listening to preaching. Every day preaching is going on. You are listening to it at home, playing messages. And you feel like, oh, this thing shouldn't end. This exciting sequence of events that have been happening, how come you have aborted it?

[17:47] because you want to follow some guys. You are a big anti-climax of this whole move. Wow. So, I'm trying to draw your attention to a certain very essential point that you being in church is not the end.

[18:13] It's just part of the procedure. God is working something. If God is true, then he's actually working something particularly in your personal life.

[18:27] Amen. So, you are sitting in the crowd, but you are very particular. Your life, every event that has happened in your life, he has been keenly interested.

[18:39] Wow. Because before your mother conceived you, he said, that one is going, it's part of my plan. He said, that one was part of my plan because this plan started before any human being came.

[18:59] So, if we have the climax of time, we have the beginning of time. And when was this plan hatched? Look at Ephesians chapter one again, verse four.

[19:15] Ephesians chapter one, verse four. I need you to do me a favor, please. If you don't mind, I know you have your Bibles, but shall we all read it together from the screen? Let's go. Just as he chose us in him, before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without pain before him in love.

[19:34] Let's read the first sentence. It ends at the comma. Let's go. Just as he chose us in him, before the foundation of the world.

[19:45] Read it again. Just as he chose us in him, before the foundation of the world. Louder for the last time. Just as he chose us in him, before the foundation of the world.

[19:56] Some people were chosen, chosen in Christ. Don't forget, it says that his plan, his plan, his plan, has a plan for the fullness of time to unite all things where?

[20:16] In him. Where were we chosen? Just as he chose us in him. All the action is happening in him. So now that you are in, other things are coming too.

[20:28] He's bringing other things in. Not because, when people say, if there is God, why is it that people are suffering in Namibia? Have you actually asked where God is when you were fornicating?

[20:39] When you were watching the pornography? If you are genuine, start from there before you come and ask me about people in Syria. Start from there. Start from there and stop this hypocrisy.

[20:55] But people, I care about people. Really? I really care about when people are suffering. Really? It's because it makes you feel good.

[21:11] It makes you feel good. Have you thought about what makes God feel good about your behavior? And because it makes you feel good, you want him to accept that and to change and do things the way you think.

[21:23] Come on, these people are mad. it's not fair. It's not fair that somebody just slept and the building just earthquake.

[21:35] If there's God, why didn't he stop the earthquake? He would have shut your computer when you were doing a pornography last night. He would have come after your computer or your phone. Your phone would have frozen and turned green.

[21:48] All right? Yeah. When you were stealing that, when you were doing the fraud, you didn't ask where God is. When somebody's money, you were stealing somebody's money from the bank.

[22:02] You didn't ask where God is. And hypocrite like you, you are telling me you care about people, people are suffering, this whole thing about God, this whole thing about, go on like that till the AIDS, HIV catches up with you.

[22:16] Yeah. It's not good. It's not good. It's not good. It's not good. It's not good. It's not good. At least, when you are misbehaving and in your sin, you have to be careful and humble.

[22:28] So that, just in case there is God, your nonsense sin doesn't hurt you without recovery. Just in case there is God because you know what you are doing is bad but you can't stop it.

[22:45] You know this drug thing you are doing, you know it's bad. You know it's bad. You can't tell me it's right. You know it's bad but you can't stop it because the thing hurts you.

[22:55] You are not in charge of yourself. So then, if you are doing what is bad, you have to make room before you start talking plenty, joining people to talk about blasphemous comments.

[23:07] what if it turns out to be that there is God? You, with these things you are doing, God is going to come after you. You will burn in the hottest part of hell. You understand what I'm saying?

[23:21] So when you know you are doing something wrong, don't be so busy trying to pick on the government. You know you are driving without insurance. You are driving a stolen car.

[23:33] Don't be busy trying to say all these governments they are not protecting us. They are not, you know what they know about you. You know, they are not protecting us. Crime is on the right.

[23:43] Why you are the criminal? You are the one doing the crime. So you know when people are talking about they are not protecting us.

[23:55] Crime is on the right. You just, hmm, maybe governments, I don't know. That's why you can't trust governments. Just keep quiet something. Because if you say they have to do more, they have to do more, they will start with you.

[24:08] They will start with you. I'm just trying to tell somebody when people are in sin and they are blaspheming they should be careful because God will start with them. You don't want God to start with you. He has not got anything to lose sending you to hell.

[24:21] Because in the first place you have never been part of his plan. You are burning in hell is also a plan. You see, you see what the bad pastors and preachers and bishops have done to the community by preaching a God who really does not exist.

[24:46] Wow. A God who doesn't judge sin doesn't exist. Do you hear what I say? A God who cannot judge and will not judge sin he does not exist. even Islam will tell you Allah will punish you.

[25:00] A God who does not judge sin and punish sin he doesn't exist. Some of these churches are busy trying to push. He is a spineless God and in the name of his full of love what kind of what is this love that does not have reason?

[25:21] Love that doesn't have reason. If he is a God of love and he loves this one so much if you mess up with her he should be able to react to you. Else he is not really love.

[25:31] You are calling for overlooking your hurting her love but he is saying that that is not love. So once there is a law a law giver then he will deal with you based on the law and that is also love.

[25:50] Is someone getting what I'm saying? They are preaching a God who doesn't exist in the Bible. Some of them are big men big bishops but preaching what doesn't exist.

[26:03] A God they are giving us a certain God it's not in the Bible it's not this is not the God of the Bible. It's not a God of the Bible. The God of the Bible is the God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ who sent Jesus Christ to die on the cross.

[26:18] on the cross. They killed him. Men killed him. They brutally maltreated him because that was the plan. And you say but how can that be love?

[26:31] Actually he's doing that because of your sins. The love for you makes him do what he did. Romans chapter 5 it says God demonstrated his love to us this way that whilst we were yet sinners Christ had to die for sinners.

[26:45] that's love. But how can that be love? Because that meets demands of love and demands of justice. So you were hurting her and the the the the law giver who is also the lover is there.

[27:05] And because you are hurting her he has to punish you for hurting her. At the same time he also loves you and the punishment will annihilate you will wipe you out but he wants you alive.

[27:18] And so he has to now find a system that will make the punishment be executed at the same time you will live. So then because of his love for us who are criminals he has to find a way of exercising his anger towards crime and not crime sin sorry there's a difference between crime and sin.

[27:43] His anger towards sin because in China if you preach and gather people without the government authorization it's a crime but it's not a sin.

[27:59] Alright let me go back to Ephesians chapter 1 verse 4 I haven't actually started preaching pastor. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow.

[28:09] Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. So it's a plan. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. So, God chose us in him before the foundation of the world. Oh so the world has foundation.

[28:22] Wow. Wow. Wow. The world has a beginning. Wow. So it's a plan. So it's a plan. It's a plan. So, watch this.

[28:32] Did God create the world? Yes. Yes. If he created the world, then there must have been a purpose. Yes. that's what I'm talking about I'm talking about God's eternal plan he had a plan so we have taken we have populated the earth doing our own thing it looks like his plan has been shelved no it has never been shelved but within his plan he also planned to allow us give us allowance to choose what we want to do because he has a plan and a climax of time to also deal with how to deal with those who chose to reject him it's also part of the plan God has a plan in Romans chapter 9 Romans chapter 9 verse 22 and 23 it tells you part of the plan this is amazing text very serious text what if God wanting to show his wrath, say his wrath

[29:33] I think this time let me try and see how the new no the message Bible put it designed to show what God has anger those people are trying to pretend like God can't be angry because how can you be angry if you are God how can you not be angry if you are holy in the presence of sin sin must be appalling to you if you are holy right it just must be else you are really not holy so God has to have wrath because there is a Satan of sin well look at the message and not the other one and New Living Translation this one has no you see he hides some of these things hide the waters down and hide something but sometimes he uses a nice way of putting it in the same way even though God has the right to show his anger and his power he is very patient with those on whom his anger falls who are destined for destruction do you know what destination means when you look at verse 2 3 4 final destination some people are destined for destruction it's also part of the plan it's also part of the plan it's appointed unto man once to die and after that why because he's part of the plan

[31:24] God never forces there is no God I don't believe two questions one in what way can that change God a typical example me I don't believe King Charles is king I don't believe I will never accept him as king listen I came from Africa it doesn't even matter if I was a billionaire at least even though it hasn't changed anything at least they will be interested in what that guy has got to say but you don't have money you are nobody you were born somewhere you come here you are telling us that I don't like I don't like King Charles he's not a king what does it change there are people who don't like the current Indian prime minister but he's still the prime minister he doesn't change anything so one if you say

[32:26] I don't believe God and I don't believe in God it doesn't affect God in any way it doesn't you can choose to burn in hell yes I want to hell no problem when you get there then you understand what God means by hell you haven't seen it that's why you think it's cool you haven't seen it a young man a young man says I don't care you can put me in prison I will murder somebody they can put me in prison he doesn't know because he doesn't have a plan for his life and he doesn't know that he wants to be important in life in future he hasn't seen the future that's why he's talking rubbish I don't care if I go I'm in I'm in I've been in I don't care it will affect you it will affect your credit rating it will affect you it will affect you dear OB CHED DBS DBS DBS yes you affect theputer DBS maybe you could have been one of the finest national leaders but you didn't know your future so you followed vain people it doesn't matter it doesn't matter see the fact that you're thinking haven't there been people who say education doesn't matter and afterwards you're looking for a job to be a cleaner in your classmates' company.

[33:46] You thought it didn't matter. Because your thinking and your perception about life was so limited, was so myopic, was so small, you thought I'm fine now.

[33:58] You are fine now that you were never fine. Just that you don't have advice that you are not wise. That's what I said. It's a pure, it's classic lack of wisdom. Some people say, I don't care, I don't care what I sleep with. It's my body, it's my body until you have a terminal illness.

[34:18] He says, it's my body. That body will rot very soon. And it's not the death, but the pain and the sickness. Sickness is such a bad thing. I don't like sickness.

[34:30] It's not nice to be sick. So when I see someone sick, it breaks my heart. It's not nice to be sick. So those who say that the God, Jesus has stopped healing. Please, please.

[34:41] I don't know what Jesus you are following. The Holy Ghost is still the Holy Ghost. So you might say, I don't care.

[34:53] If God is warning you about a problem ahead, you better listen. Because it will hit you. Just that you don't know how bad it's going to be like.

[35:06] Well, let's go back. When were we chosen? Some people are chosen. Chosen. He chose us. In the same way, oh, you've gone to, oh, sorry, I forgot I was reading here. It's good anyway.

[35:21] Let me finish this one. So, in the same way, even though God has the right to show his anger and his power, he is very patient with those on whom his anger falls.

[35:34] Some people, his anger is falling on them. Look at the next verse. He does this to make the riches of his glory shine even brighter on those to whom he shows mercy.

[35:50] So, you see, there are two doors here. There are people his anger is falling and there are some he's showing mercy. It's all part of the plan. And he says that he even does that to even, he says he does that, this to make the riches of his glory shine even brighter.

[36:05] The more he's punishing some people in hell, the more he looks so good to those he has helped. Yes. What would happen? How can I enjoy heaven if my best friend is not in heaven?

[36:17] How can I enjoy heaven if my dad, my mom, my daughter, my son, somebody I really love? Let alone a dog. How can I enjoy heaven if I find out that you won't even have time to be thinking that way?

[36:34] One, because Bible says that we know in part, but then when perfection comes, we shall know fully. You will know properly. We know in part in 1 Corinthians chapter 13 verse 11 and 12, somewhere there, we know in part.

[36:47] We know in part and we prophesy in part, but when perfection comes, all right. So he says that, watch this. You'll be still going to say, what will happen when I'm in heaven and my best friend or my sister, I love her so much.

[37:03] I see in hell. How can I enjoy heaven? When we get to heaven, the focus of anything, do people think we are going to heaven to just go and eat and dancing and dancing?

[37:15] No. Say it's part of the plan. It's part of the plan. In heaven, it's more about everything being unified in Christ.

[37:27] Being unified. So we are all in Christ. It's an example of marriage. They all become one. The two become one. We are buried in Christ.

[37:38] We are fused in Christ. Christ is God. So in heaven, it's like God is so much in us. We are so much in God and still he is God. And guess what?

[37:48] We are just enjoying God. Enjoying God. And when you are enjoying God, guess what? As soon as you have a taste of him, hmm, oh my goodness.

[37:59] And I could have missed this. I don't even deserve this. So you will be overwhelmed or preoccupied with your lack of worthiness more than who is not here.

[38:12] Because anyone who is not here, you know they are not worthy. Even you, you are not worthy. I shouldn't be here. You can't be quarrying. I shouldn't be here. I shouldn't be here.

[38:25] I shouldn't be here. And you are overwhelmed with humility and gratitude that all the songs you will be singing is you are worthy to receive all the honor. You died to save me.

[38:35] Oh, the Lamb. You are worthy. We will be singing the songs of redemption. We can't overcome. We can't get over the fact that you did this for me. Now you may not understand.

[38:47] Because you didn't choose yourself. You are not worthy. I am not worthy. Then out of the blue, he just plans to include you in the plan.

[38:59] Before he gives everybody what they deserve, he said, let me take you out so I can show my goodness, my love on some people. And then now the rest, just to make sure I am a righteous judge, give everybody what they deserve and nobody deserves anything good because we've all been bad.

[39:19] The Bible says we are all gone astray. So as he gives them, the Bible says that what if he's willing to show the brightness of his glory? So when you see, put it again, verse 22, verse 22, in the same way, even though God has the right to show his anger, his anger and his power, he's very patient with those on whom his anger falls, who are destined for destruction.

[39:49] So he's patient. He's waiting for a certain time. And look at the next verse. He does this to make the riches of his glory shine even brighter on those to whom he shows mercy, who were prepared in advance for glory.

[40:04] So you don't deserve it, but you just, to whom he shows what? To whom he does what shows mercy. Now, what I told you, mercy means that you are supposed to be punished, but he said, I have to find a way of letting you be excused.

[40:18] So instead of you being punished, he puts a system in place that takes the punishment of his wrath, and then you get excused. So once you get excused, it feels like, God, this is so beautiful.

[40:31] Then when you look at those you were in the same car with, the car bent, they were bent beyond recognition, but you escaped unscathed. You, like Syria, some people when they come alive, they, when they look at the number of people who died, and people who were even in a place that should have lived easily, and where they were, they lived, they can't blame government for the people's death.

[40:58] They are more grateful for their life. Someone comes to rescue you, and they couldn't rescue this one, and you are blaming them for leaving this one. So what I'm trying to say, they should have led you to die, they should have saved us, but you know, they can't save everybody.

[41:13] They can't save everybody, so they only had three lifeboats, and there were 30 people in, and they gave you one, and they gave him one, they gave her one, and now when you come out, you say, I will sue them for not saving the other people.

[41:25] You will say, but why did they even choose me? Because I don't even deserve it. Because I know these people are very funny towards men, or women, or my race, or funny towards people who don't have this kind of money.

[41:44] I don't have money. Rich people died. But why did they save me? And they say, you come. No, no, no. You, you come. They say, I'm wondering, the rest of my life, I owe it to you.

[41:56] Because what you've done for me, I couldn't have done it myself. When you get to heaven, you'll be so busy adoring God that you know you should have been in hell.

[42:09] And you are busy adoring God that when even you see the beauty of God's clear justice, it makes you feel, I want to worship you for how pure you are. Because I know you are pure.

[42:20] Then you understand the purity of God when he's judging people who have worked against him. Wow. Very, very important.

[42:31] But let's go to the plan. Say the plan. The plan. Say it's a plan. It's a plan. Oh, come on. Some of you are getting tired already. Say it's a plan. It's a plan. Because some of you are getting very bored because this is getting deep.

[42:42] Because we have churches filled with people who won't teach God's word. And trying to keep people, to entertain them. So what do you want? They find out what you like.

[42:52] So say it what you like, but not what you lack. He said, him we preach. I like that. Colossians chapter 1 verse 28.

[43:04] Him we preach. That's our job in church. Him we preach. Him we preach. Him we preach. Christ. Christ we preach. Christ we preach. Warm in every man and teaching every man in all wisdom.

[43:17] Why? That we may present every man perfectly. We want to present you matured in Christ. You are grown up. You are full of Christ. That's the job of a pastor. Not to make you feel very entertained.

[43:29] Why would you go to school? A lecturer, his job, he wants to come and entertain you. You fail your exams. Yeah. If you take your child to school and then they come back, what did you learn?

[43:40] Whoa, today we are dancing. Daddy, I was so happy. What did you do? We were playing and dancing and the teacher was dancing with us. Okay. Every day, dancing with us. You are preparing for 11 plus.

[43:54] And your tutors were dancing with you every day. Your father would not, if he's a wise man, he wouldn't take you back. I brought my child for you to teach my child not to entertain them or not.

[44:09] You didn't come to church to be made happy. You come to church to be prepared to be, he said, we preach Christ.

[44:22] Okay. What is the purpose of preaching? That we will be presented matured in him. Presented matured, perfect in him. That you will be presented matured in Christ.

[44:34] So when someone marries you in church, they don't regret because they know they've married a Christian. Many years living with you, 10 years living with you, 15 years living with you, it only gets better, not bitter.

[44:47] Right? Because someone is growing in Christ. All right, let me get back to what I'm teaching. It's a plan. Say it's a plan. It's a plan. So God, in, in, in, um, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 20.

[45:09] Look at what it says. He indeed was foreordained. That's talking about Jesus Christ being the Lamb of God. Okay? He indeed was foreordained.

[45:20] Amen? Amen. He was foreordained. When? Before the foundation of the world. Give me a new living translation.

[45:32] God chose him as your ransom long before the world began. Before human beings were created, God has chosen Christ to die for us.

[45:46] It's what? It's a plan. It's a what? It's a plan. It's a what? It's a plan. God has had his plan before the world began. Christ wouldn't have been sacrificed before the world began.

[45:58] It's a plan. It's the beginning of time and the climaxing of time. So why he did that? It's to be justified in the climax of time. Before the world began.

[46:11] It's all replete in the New Testament in different places. How things were done before the world began. We just read it from Ephesians 1, verse 4. He chose us in him before the foundation.

[46:22] He chose us in him before the foundation of the world. In the book of Revelations chapter 13, verse 8. Revelations chapter 17, verse 8.

[46:34] Look at that. It says the same thing. All who dwell on the earth will worship him whose name have not yet been written in the book of life of the Lamb.

[46:46] Slain when? From the foundation. So he was slain from the foundation. Look at chapter 17, verse 8. The beast you saw was and is not and will ascend out of the bottomless feet and go to perdition.

[47:07] And those who dwell on earth will marvel whose names are not written in the book of life from the foundation of the earth. From the foundation of the earth.

[47:18] things have been done from the foundation of the earth. So what am I trying to suggest? Before the program began, God has already had a plan in place.

[47:32] Tell someone, God has a plan in place for you. Say that. God has a plan in place for you. God has a plan in place for you. Someone receiving something. This is church message.

[47:44] God are the days you won't have it here anymore. God are the days when people come to church, they want a particular something to hear and tithe their ears, tingle their ears. No, we hear the message of God.

[47:55] We want to talk about the plan of God. God has got a plan. So once you understand that God has got a plan and you are part of the plan, you know that your life is not a mistake. Your parents might have conceived you by accident, but you are still part of the plan.

[48:10] Your life is not an error. In spite of all that you have done in the past, your life is still part of the plan. Hallelujah. That tells you that you can be the worst criminal of all, but if you are found in Christ, God doesn't care because your life is still part of the plan.

[48:27] Most criminal of all criminals can end up being a preacher. The finest of all preachers. Why? Because it's a plan. Not because they are so intelligent, but because God has a plan.

[48:38] And God included them in the plan. When does God include people in a plan? Not when they come to church. Before they are born. Before their mother was born. Before Adam was born. Some people, listen, the reason why you are here is not because of the decision you made recently, but it's because God has already gotten you in the plan.

[48:59] Romans chapter 8, verse 29 says that those he foreknew, he also predestined. Can you imagine? For those he foreknew, he also predestined to be conformed into the image of his son, that he will be, you see, summon everything in him.

[49:15] That would be the first, putting everything in him. He foreknew you. God foreknew you. God foreknew you. So that's good news for somebody.

[49:27] What's the good news? You've done some bad things in the past, but God doesn't care about your credit history. He doesn't have it. He doesn't work with your credit history. He works with what?

[49:37] What does he work with? Ah, I got it. What does he work with? He has a plan. He has a project manager. He has a plan already.

[49:49] Before you were born, he has a plan. So before you even entered into all those bad things you did, his plan was, nothing changes his plan. I can show you in the Bible, I can show you Ephesians chapter 1.

[49:59] It's there, Ephesians chapter 1, verse 11. It talks about how he has done all this. It says that in him, in him also, we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to what?

[50:11] The purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of, not according to your good behavior. Come on. He has a plan.

[50:23] In Romans chapter 8, I read it, but I read verse 29. In the verse 28, he said, all things work together for good to those who love the Lord and ah, I call what?

[50:34] His plan. Plan. God has got a plan. God has got a plan. And the plan, the plan of God spans all of time.

[50:48] So everything that is going on in the United Kingdom, God has already covered it in the plan. Whatever is going on in Saudi Arabia, whatever is going on in America, whatever is going on in India, whatever is going on in Jamaica, whatever is going on in Nigeria, whatever is going on in Somalia, whatever is going on in South Africa, whatever is going on in Canada, whatever is going on in Ukraine, whatever is going on anywhere in the world, God has got it covered in his plan already.

[51:14] But why is it that people are dying? Why is it that the earthquake came and people died? Oh, you ask the question, you are not the first to ask. I'm glad you did ask because you are not the first to ask. They also asked Jesus in Luke chapter 13, verse 2.

[51:27] Luke chapter 13, verse 1 and 2, and Jesus gave them the answer in verse 3 and then verse 4 and they gave them the answer in verse 5. They came and said that Pontius Pilate mixed some people's blood with pigs for sacrifice.

[51:40] That's an insult. He killed them and slaughtered them and mixed their blood for sacrifice. How can you do, what have these guys done to go through such brutalities? They asked Jesus and do you know the answer Jesus gave them?

[51:52] Jesus said, Jesus answered and said, do you suppose that these Galileans were worst sinners of all other Galileans because of such, because they suffered such things?

[52:03] He said, listen, people go through this because we are living in a fallen world. The only thing that excuses you is that unless, he said, I tell you, but unless you repent, you are also going down that way.

[52:17] Something unfortunate will happen to you and God won't do anything about it because we live in a fallen world but he's working with his plan. He has a plan. And then look at the next verse. He said, oh, the tower that fell, tower has been falling a long time ago in Siloam, killed 18 people.

[52:33] Towers have been falling on those 18 on whom the towers of Siloam fell and killed them. Do you think they are worse sinners than all the other people you are talking about? How can this happen to people?

[52:45] He said, you don't talk fast thinking about yourself unless you repent, you shall also likewise perish. The plan of God covers repentance.

[52:59] The plan of God is to give immunity to repentant people. From satanic assault, from demonic harassment.

[53:14] Say it's in the plan. It's in the plan. God has a plan. God has a plan. And the plan had a beginning. So before the time began, look, look, look at this.

[53:26] Look at this. You, if I come and see you in your garden and you are digging the ground and then scooping the soil out and pouring milk and something, unless you are having a mental health attack.

[53:42] if you are not having a mental health episode, you must be doing something. And it might be something worth doing. You won't dig the ground and then dig, you go to B&Q, go and buy this, all this digging stuff.

[53:58] And some of them are expensive. You dug, dug, dug. And then you pour milk, you buy very expensive organic milk from Max and Spencer and you pour it in. Then you finish. Say, okay, I'm done. I'm gone.

[54:10] Mama, would you go to work? So God doesn't have anything doing. He just said, oh, okay, let me just create the earth. He just created. No. No, he had a plan.

[54:22] He had a plan. He had a plan. He had a plan. It's called the eternal economy of God. He had a plan.

[54:32] So if we have found ourselves on this earth, we should remember there's a plan for this earth. He has a plan. Everybody's going to die one day.

[54:44] Many people have come and they are gone. Some are awaiting judgment of doom. Some are also in bliss, in paradise because they are found in Christ.

[54:58] But Christ, before Christ came, how about those who died before? Those who died before and obeyed God through his word, they were looking forward to Christ. So the work of Christ, that's why it has to be before the foundation of the earth.

[55:11] It's already been executed. So it covers everyone who lives, even before it's manifested in time. It covers. It's covered already. So Abraham was covered.

[55:22] Moses was covered. David was covered. Solomon was covered. Elijah, Jeremiah, Joseph, all these guys were covered. They were covered.

[55:32] They were covered. How? Before the work, because the work of Christ is from the foundation of the earth. So all of us are equally covered by the same amount of covering.

[55:43] Just that he came in time, at the fullness of time. He came, God sent forth his son, born of a woman. He died under the cross. But his death on the cross had already, its impact, its implication, its efficacy, covers from the beginning.

[56:00] Now. To the end. God's got a plan, please. Yes, Lord. God's got a plan. So when you get born again, your job is to find out how you can work with God's plan.

[56:15] God, what's your plan? God's what? Know how I feel. You don't know how I feel, what I've done, what happened to me in life. Something has happened to everybody in life. Oh, yes. Everybody. And your situation is far better than me.

[56:27] But you don't understand. But you don't understand. You see, because you overemphasize on that, that is why it stresses you more. Yeah.

[56:40] If your younger sister takes, maybe you bought a new car and takes some, something metal and scratch this car and thinking that and when you check it's a scratch, I love my sister.

[56:57] Oh, no. This is wrong place to define your love. And that one and then you park your car in your neighborhood and some people are fully troublesome.

[57:11] They hate you when you come. At the time you come in the morning you've written, I love my sister. They scrapped the car, scratched the car.

[57:22] Is it not the same thing they wrote? But with this you can handle it. With this, even though it's painful what they've done to the car, you feel, I will retaliate. I will retaliate.

[57:35] I will find these guys. I know who did it. But this one too, you know who did it. Yeah, but it doesn't hurt that much. When you begin to over thinking, I have not treated me well.

[57:46] I have not been treated well. The only thing you get with a lot of anger, you're always filled with anger, anger, anger, because they've not treated me well. Others have not been treated well, but they are busy building their lives, so they are not bitter like you.

[57:58] Think you are the only one who lost your boyfriend? Please, give me a break. It's a plan. God has got a plan. God, is someone catching something?

[58:10] God has got a plan. And when we come to church, the job of the pastor is help people come to recognition with the plan of God, not just to receive miracle, receive rectum, receive a husband.

[58:22] Those things are just miniature, trivial parts of life. When you receive a husband, is that the end of your life? If you get all the money, is that the end of your life? Why should we focus as though life is about money?

[58:36] Why should we focus as though life is about what they call social justice? Do you even need social in front of it? Justice is justice. So you want me to team up with you to insult your dad because you hate your dad?

[58:51] I don't have time for that. Yeah, your dad hasn't tried, but I don't have time for that. There's more in you that if you focus on, your dad will regret for abandoning you. You'll be shining so high in life, he will regret because there's too much in you for us to channel your energy on the bitter and the bad things that happen to you.

[59:11] Come on, grow up. Bad things happen to a lot of good people. Be strong and move forward with your life. Why you fell?

[59:23] So why do you choose to lie on the ground because you fell? That's a failure. But if you fall, you are not a failure. Get up again. How many of you fell when you are attempting to walk?

[59:34] Many times. How many of you have seen a toddler fall? There's a mommy, I won't walk again. That's what you've been doing. That's what you've been doing.

[59:46] Because you fell one, I won't do school. Hey, hey, go back to school. Go back to school. Pastor, you don't know, I've failed seven times.

[60:00] Did you say 70 or seven? Oh, seven. Wait, when you get to 70, come and let's talk. But I keep going. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. I need to finish.

[60:11] I need to finish. I only quoted one scripture. I haven't finished it. I said Ephesians chapter 1, verse 10. Isn't that where we started from? Let's go to the new American standard version again because that one said some interesting things there.

[60:23] With a view to an administration suitable to the fullness of time. There's an administration, there is an economy, there is a dispensation, there is a plan, there is a manifest, there's a program, or there is a project management that is suitable to the fullness of time because the plan is that this must happen at this time, this must happen at this time, this must happen at this time, this must happen at this time.

[60:58] All is climaxing, culminating to a certain climax. in the fullness of time. So God starts from somewhere and guess what?

[61:10] His objective is to get this at the end of the day or in the fullness of time. At the climax of time, his plan is to get this and guess what?

[61:21] He's going to get it. That's what makes him good. In the good times and the bad times, all things work together. He's planning it.

[61:33] And he's working it out. He's working it out. He's working it out. Now, it is called the economy of God. The plan of God.

[61:44] He has a plan. He has a plan. So now, when you look at 1 Timothy 1, verse 4, I think it might not make sense to start the reading with no give.

[62:00] So let's start from verse 3. Verse 3 is not part of it, but really, just to make sense of it. I urge you when I went into Macedonia, remain in Ephesus that you may charge some that they teach no other doctrine.

[62:16] Hmm, that alone is so good. So remember, don't start teaching things. Don't start, so what are no other doctrine? Teach, doctrine is set of belief, set of belief, the things that have been given for our faith.

[62:33] And they have an objective because they're all playing part of the plan. Because if I teach you certain doctrine, there are some churches, if you go and keep hearing, keep hearing, keep hearing, you'll be living with your boyfriend and messing up your destiny or with your girlfriend or you will never preach to anybody.

[62:50] You will fight in church. You will still, you will live a certain life that excludes you from God's righteous program or blessings. Who teaches you matter?

[63:02] It matters. Whether you like it or not, you wouldn't be choosing some better schools or you wouldn't be saying, I want my child to go to that school because you know that school.

[63:13] Some of us have problem is the school you attended. What do you mean? What do you mean? What do you mean? The school. Almost about 90% of your classmates have been in prison after school.

[63:25] Mercy. Because the head teacher, because the head teacher is bad. It's not good. There's no order in the class. No, no. Ofsted.

[63:37] Ofsted rating is super bad. Super bad. Ofsted rating for your school is super bad. It's bad as you can get.

[63:50] They said in the whole country this is the worst they have ever seen in a school. No assignments are done. They don't teach after they go to class. People are just sitting on their boyfriends and everybody's doing anything.

[64:02] In a class. Yes. But what are you wrong? You see what I'm saying?

[64:13] So what you are learning some of you your advantage is because of the school you went to. It's really helped you. They drill some discipline in your life. That's one of the things that make certain universities differ from others or better because of the rigorous nature of the academic program.

[64:35] You don't have time to mess up. When someone is doing medicine you know they don't have time. Because it's rigorous. The rigor is intense because of you are going to handle lives.

[64:47] So they have to put you through enough pressure to prepare you to handle life. So teaching is important. So what one of the main reasons why listen to this very carefully so you don't miss it.

[65:01] One of the main reasons why we are in church is not to just find friends. One of the main reasons why we are in church is to be exposed to a certain type of teaching that will make us relevant in the plan.

[65:18] The plan. Because God has got a plan. That's why he has saved you. Not because you are so miserable. Not because you are underprivileged or less privileged.

[65:31] not because things haven't worked for you. You have been through too much. So he is saving you. For what? He is saving you because he has got a plan. He has got a plan.

[65:42] And when you come in as soon as you come in you might not know but you need someone who will teach you to know that there is a plan already going on. And you have come in and now you have to find a way to position yourself so you can be relevant in the plan.

[65:56] Can you imagine if you become so relevant in the plan would you be relevant to God? You can't be relevant in his plan and just die as a chicken premature. No! It's in his interest to defend your health.

[66:08] It's in his interest to protect your health. To protect your life. To protect your life. It's in his interest because you are in the plan and you are working effectively in the plan.

[66:22] The reasons why I know one of the reasons why I know I can't die early is I'm too busy in the plan. Come to church they say pastor he's so sick he can't come to church.

[66:39] No. Why? Because I'm busy in the plan. That's when his immunity kicks in. He has to keep me going. We need to keep our king covered because we need him in our country.

[66:54] That's why he's a very important person because he's not just privileged. No. He's a very important person in the United Kingdom. The king and the prince and the princess for that matter.

[67:05] The royal family. They help boost the economy as well. They help give us a certain identity other nations don't have. Americans love it. They just love to see our royal family because look when the queen passed.

[67:19] Beautiful funeral. So lovely. No. It's only UK that can put up this beautiful show. But it makes us unique. So the royal family we need a royal family for our own British identity.

[67:32] They are in the plan. How much more you engorse eternal plan. Say I'm in the plan. I'm in the plan.

[67:43] I'm in the plan. So stop the squabbles and I didn't like the way that girl said what she said to me and attitude. Get over it because you are in the plan. There's a bigger plan of God for your life.

[67:58] But my health I've been having health challenges. Just get busy plugging into the plan. He'll cover you where it's necessary. He'll cover you. But how come they killed Stephen?

[68:09] He was preaching they killed him. It was also in the plan. So he didn't live for himself. He lived for the plan. He said the plan.

[68:21] God has got a plan. God has got a plan. God has got a plan. So let's go back to the first Timothy and I have to end.

[68:33] As I urged you when I went to Macedonia remain in Ephesus that you may charge some that they teach no other doctrine. Let's all say no other doctrine.

[68:45] No other doctrine. One of the things I can't do is to start teaching you what you want to hear. Teaching you what sounds what to sell or trend on social media.

[68:59] Did social media send me? No. It's professional more practice to begin to tell you things that the one who sent me has not asked me to. I mean you're a nurse.

[69:11] You're a community nurse. You are going to attend to people in their homes and you go you are giving them medication that you've not been sent to give them. But you think I'm just nice I just want to you know this woman likes these sweet medications.

[69:23] Please. They have to strike you not just they strike you of the register. And some pastors and some church leaders have already been struck off by God.

[69:35] They've been struck off because they are not feeding the plan of God. They are actually an offense to the plan of God. That's how Peter Jesus turned to Peter he said you are an offense to me because you are telling me to abort the plan of God.

[69:54] When I tell you I'm going to the cross you Matthew chapter 16 verse 23 you it's a bit but but but but he turned to Peter get behind me Satan you are an offense to me. Why?

[70:06] Because I am so Jesus was so preoccupied why did he come on earth? He didn't come to come and have fun. He came for a plan. He came for a plan. He said himself in John chapter 9 verse 4 I must work the works of him who sent me whilst his day for the night where no man can work.

[70:22] In Luke chapter 2 verse 48 49 50 when they found him in the temple he was sitting with the as a boy 12 years old he was sitting with the elders and the mother said son why have you done this to us?

[70:34] We have been looking for you and father high he said don't you not have to be about my father's business? I came there is a plan there is a plan there is a plan Jesus said to them in the book of John to this end have I been born?

[70:48] He said this is why I came on earth this is why I came Pontius Pilate wanted to excuse him from dying he said you don't have the power go ahead you are he said him who delivered me to you is worthy of greater sin has committed not you don't be worried because according to Acts chapter 2 Bible says that Jesus Christ Acts 2 verse 22 Jesus a man attested by God with signs and wonders verse 23 is an amazing I just love verse 23 God has a plan look at verse 23 can't you see the plan of God as well being delivered Jesus was delivered him being delivered how?

[71:23] how? by the determined purpose and full knowledge of God it's not an accident God was working behind his death because he loves you so much someone needs to die for your sins he was working God was working he said by the predetermined and the full knowledge of God they took with lawless hand and crucified so they were if God was not involved they would have still done it but God is called the sovereign no it's called the providence of God they were doing what they would do anyway just like the way Joseph's brothers got rid of him they would have gotten rid of him anyway but God used that wickedness of man to achieve his purpose that's what makes God sovereign providence is more powerful than a miracle where you decided that I'm going to do this I'll do this by your own will not knowing what you're actually doing you're actually fulfilling you say

[72:23] I'm going to shut down that church I'm going to gossip against that church but God needed that because he has promised the church that I'm about to promote you it's called the the the the the the the providence of God it's called providence of God God is awake you killed him by the predetermined according to the predetermined predetermined counsel of God you took him and killed him and in Acts chapter 4 verse 27 they said it again in their prayer that that truly against your holy servant Jesus Christ whom you anointed but oh oh both Herod both Herod and Pontius Pilate with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel were gathered together look at this to do what your hand and your pepper Herod enemy of God Pontius Pilate enemy of God the people were against Jesus they all connived they team up and their teaming up was ending up to do what God whatever

[73:29] God's hand and pepper are determined when before to be done what do you think why do you think a man a human being can stop what God wants to do with your life because simply because they don't like you listen when they tell you if you don't like someone who is walking with God you are wasting your breath you will be you see listen it's like I come here and I want to change this whole building with my forehead by scratching my hand and the forehead at the end of the day the impression will not be on the wall it will be on my face you want to hurt someone God is using you will be the victim you will be the victim in life and permanently without recovery because you chose to temper with someone in the plan let's get what

[74:41] Christianity is about properly the United Kingdom is not a Christian nation most of the political appointees are not representing Jesus but that doesn't mean they are bad people they are not bad people but please God also has got his plan when Jesus came it was the leaders religious leaders who killed him they put political pressure kill him kill him politics have always been like that because if you're a politician you have to do what the people like it makes you popular and everybody even whether you're a politician or not actually likes to be popular so sometimes when God calls you to preach pure what people don't like it's a hard very hard assignment because you are preaching to people who hate you so when he calls Saul Paul in Acts chapter 26 verse 17 he said I will deliver you because what I'm sending is bad he said

[75:44] I will deliver you from the Jewish people as well as from the Gentiles to whom I am sending you I am sending you to people I have to deliver you from so why are you sending me because you have something to help them I want to help them but they will hate you they think I don't like what you're teaching there are some people sitting here you just can't understand what I'm teaching who cares who cares who cares I'm not afraid of you God have an assignment in few years you are going to die in few years others are going to die why should I fear you and allow people to go to hell who are you excuse me he said I'm going to deliver you from the people I'm sending you I'm sending you for what purpose God has a plan he said to open their eyes in order to turn them from darkness to light from the power of Satan to God that they will receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in me and yet he said they will kill you

[76:51] I have to deliver you so he said I'm sending you but I'm with you to deliver you from the people I'm sending you to and I'm sending you to open their eyes they are blind so they will fright you they are in darkness so they will fright you they are under the power of Satan so they will hate you but they are not themselves so I need to deliver you from them and that's why they kill prophets that's why many people hate preachers like me but I'm ready for it why because I have cover if I was working for myself I would have been concerned but I'm I'm I'm I'm fronting for a plan somebody shout hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah my heart is heavy with God's agenda and it bothers me the blindness of the hearts of wicked men satan has blinded their hearts and it's worrying in our times and in our community how people who are supposed to be preachers are actually not preachers they are satanists many are projected as men of

[78:11] God but they're actually men of the enemy they are antichrist just watch their presentation and I dare you sit under them for three hours or for thirty minutes and see if anything Christ will develop in you nothing no hunger for Christ you won't be convicted of sin you will not feel drawn to Christ God's plan doesn't even show there's nothing some of the things they are saying you can go to school and get it some of the things they are saying you can go anywhere you can get this if I go for a seminar telling how to make money billions in three days you can pay for some you can get these things you didn't come to church to come and learn about anger management there's not a place for it please tell me about the economy of God tell me about the economy of God the more I know him I'll find myself the more I know him life will make sense other pieces will connect to come together teach me

[79:20] Jesus give me Jesus the essence of genuine preaching is him we preach now let me add this I was going to say this morning in the main service but let me add this he said Colossians 128 him we preach I like that bit so much teaching hey I'm gonna shout that teaching and admonishing we pray how do we preach him we preach so you see listen I am teaching but this teaching is like plate it's like a plate conveying something organic many teachings are plates but there's no organic rice on it for people to consume so we are preaching we are teaching we are giving speeches in churches behind puppets but people are still dying because Christ is not being served by said him we preach teaching so this teaching is supposed to be serving Christ you can be teaching it doesn't mean every teaching will project

[80:33] Christ it doesn't mean every teaching will feed some teachings don't feed they can even educate some teachings can educate your mind by didn't feed you with Christ the puppet is not for social issues the puppet is not for private issues the puppet is not for even spiritual issues the puppet is for Christ issuing issuing of Christ issuing of Christ issuing of Christ the church puppet as we issue Christ the picture becomes holistic we begin to get a picture oh the plan there's a plan the plan there's a plan let me finish this that's why Paul said I left you in Crete so you warned them that they teach no other doctrine that's how wrong teaching is frowned upon by God it's just anyone who tells you oh just about love once you love please it's a misrepresentation of the message of Christ it's a misrepresentation he said more things when he said love your neighbor as yourself it's just one someone came and saw him but he said so many so many things going to the world we marginalize all that he said it's about love just love one another we love one another and live peacefully for what so everybody can enjoy their life and die and then what happens and then what happens and then what happens there's a creator and before he created he had a plan already and he put everything in progress that at the climax of time you the preacher you the Christian whatever you are doing it should be feeding into the climax at the end of the ages all things are going to be climaxed in him so the way you are living your

[82:42] Christian life you and you and you you the way you are living your Christian life don't lose sight of the fullness of time when time is now folding up when time is finishing what you are going to say you have done to contribute to the plan say 1 Timothy 1 3 as I urge you when I went to Mesitha that remain in Ephesus that you may charge some that they teach no other doctrine every good Christian church must warn people not to teach any other doctrine what are other doctrines look at it look at the next one nor give heed to fables and endless genealogies which cause disputes rather than godly edification which is in faith now that's godly edification give us new

[83:54] American standard version then English standard version nor pay attention to myths and all kinds of stories some of it is not going anywhere like you know original blacks are the proper Jews it's not going anywhere it's not going anywhere it's not going anywhere they're the proper Jews and you know Jesus was a black man okay and so what should I do with it Jesus is not a European whoever told you Jesus is a European read your Bible a little bit at least just read the Bible and you find out that Mary was not European excuse me Mary was not European he never never came to Europe at least she was even closer to Saudi than not pay attention to myths and endless genealogies which give rise to mere speculations rather than feathering the you see that word you see that thing that way feathering the economy of

[85:02] God which is by faith we are here to feather that administration of God that's why we are here that's why I'm preaching not because I need a pay not because I need gifts because what will give do for you you enjoy it for a moment and you need another one how long can you enjoy listen hundred thousand pounds will not really change your destiny let alone a thousand pounds those who have been stealing it won't change your life yeah you did fraud you've done fraud ten thousand what did he do for you no you couldn't afford a proper holiday could have gone to buy hundred and go and live in that very clever so I'm not saying going there's wrong there's nothing wrong in going on holiday there's nothing wrong but I'm talking why are you stealing to spoil your future I'm talking to somebody you'll be caught one of these days oh yeah they are aware of you the authorities are aware of you but they are giving you more rope because if you give a fool enough rope you will hang himself you are gathering the evidence against your destiny well so how much man but we are preaching this preaching put it back rather than so the who there are some teachers that don't feather the administration of

[86:33] God that's what I'm trying to say there are certain preachings there are certain teachings there are certain systems they don't feather it they rather distract from it so he said warn them that it's not every teaching they should teach or they should not give their attention to some things from today you have to choose that some things is not worth your attention why because it's not feathering the administration let's say evs and no to devote themselves to mixed and endless genealogies which promote speculations rather than stewardship from God see that's a word administration I told you administration stewardship okay let's see the amplified it means the original Greek word is oikonomia God's economy it means the plan of God it means that this is a lot it means the purpose of God this is a lot not give importance to occupy themselves with legends fables myths and endless genealogies which foster and promote useless speculations that you are speculating okay so it is useless speculations useless speculation and questionings rather than acceptance in faith of

[87:57] God's administration and the divine training that is in faith in that learning of the entire human personality the learning of the entire human personality on God in absolute treasure so he says that we should give ourselves to what what what what instead of something that bring questions and speculations rather what brings acceptance in faith of God's administration that's what God's bigger plan you have to accept it in faith yes it means that that me I should forgive my dad who has been so wicked against me yes yes yes I have to that that that I should accept my dad my boyfriend who did this against me should that that I should forgive him that I so forgive him so God there is no bitterness in your heart so God can use you then Saul who is called

[88:58] Paul filled the Holy Ghost set his eyes on him listen to what he said to this guy who was blocking the gospel he said oh fool of all satirity and all mischief a child of the devil thou an enemy of all righteous will that not cease to pervert the right ways some preachers are like that they are called bishops they pervert the right ways of God pervert the right ways of God that's why Paul said before I go I want to warn you warn them that they don't teach anything they shouldn't listen to everything other than that it will be watered down very quickly in effect what I'm trying to say is God has a plan project earth and man is the most important the highlight of God's creation on earth why because the real highlight is coming and the real highlight is what he's going to do with man what he created man so that he can put himself into man and when he puts himself into man that is the beauty of all the ages and that is what is called church church the definition of church is human beings with

[90:23] God inside them and all of them are yet one body it's a mystery we are interconnected one body doesn't matter our backgrounds our status our races our ages our sex all those things don't matter what matters is Christ in you Christ in you the hope of glory that's the church and that's why God created the earth now the church at this stage we are not in our full because fullness of time hasn't come the church is still growing and we are being fed the word of God we are going to become more like Christ by the end of the ages you see what God has done and the angels stand and say marks of time God started a project he hasn't ended yet the plan is still going on David entry is here today he will finish his own and go you are here you finish your own and go some of you one day you be the preacher because it's not mine

[91:30] God has a plan so today he's using me but tomorrow after I'm gone I'm dead and gone if he calls me to Ukraine so I might be in Ukraine I might be in Syria I might be busy and someone will be doing this and some of you will be going to Scotland in France it's a plan so we don't focus on our convenience and our comfort but we focus on the plan anyone who interferes with your focus on the plan comes into what Peter came into Jesus said get behind me or you are an offense to me that's why Paul when they told him don't go and die in Jerusalem he said listen I'm not only ready to suffer for this I'm ready to die he said something Acts chapter 20 verse 21 he said I'm ready not only to suffer but to die none of these things move me nor do I count my life dear to myself why why that's the

[92:44] Christian life it's a race and everyone because there's a plan as soon as they give you the baton run run it's a race so you might finish it Paul said I fought a good fight I have kept the faith and I finished my course then he says that verse 8 down there there's laid for me a crown of glory because at the climax of time there'll be rewards God bless you for listening to this powerful message may the power of God be evident in your life don't forget to like and subscribe to Carice Church on YouTube and listen to more messages from David Entry on all relevant streaming platforms you can also connect with David Entry and our youth ministry at Carice Phase 2 on Instagram and TikTok and at Carice on Campus on Snapchat so you are up to date be blessed
