[0:00] Hallelujah! Thank you for tuning in to this powerful message by David Entry at Caris Phase 2, our Christ-centered youth services. You can never find Christ outside of the open Word of God.
[0:13] May Jesus Christ reveal himself to you as you listen. Hallelujah! Praise the Lord! Hallelujah! Who here is hungry for God's Word?
[0:30] The Word of God is like food. It says, desire the sincere milk of the Word.
[0:47] It said in 1 Corinthians chapter 2, that I did not feed you with meat, but with milk.
[1:06] 1 Corinthians chapter 2, chapter 3, verse 2, verse 3.
[1:17] It says, 1 Corinthians chapter 3. I have fed you, reading from verse 1. And I brethren could not speak to you as spiritual people, but as carnal.
[1:35] As to babes in Christ, you are in Christ, but your level is so low. So in Christ, there are levels. And he said, I could not speak.
[1:47] Verse 1. I could not speak. I could not. I brethren could not speak to you as spiritual people.
[2:00] So you are speaking to you. So you are speaking to a group of people. And you couldn't speak to them and make references to some deep spiritual things.
[2:13] Because they are not spiritually there. They are. He said, but I spoke to you. He said, I couldn't speak to you as spiritual people, but I spoke to you as carnal people. You are born again.
[2:25] You live by your instincts. You live purely. All your decisions are made based on your natural instincts and sensual desires and sensual judgments.
[2:40] But there is a spiritual sense that it takes maturity. Maturity people make decisions based on spiritual sense. They set their minds on the things of the spirit.
[2:50] Romans chapter 8, verse 6, 7, 8. So he whose mind is set. So it's a mindset. It's that, verse 7.
[3:04] It's time to verse 8. I want to show you the mind. Keep me in King James, verse 8. It's verse 5 I'm looking for. All right. Thank you. For they that are after the flesh, mind the things of the flesh.
[3:19] But they that are spiritual, the things of the spirit. And then there's a place it speaks about who your mind is set on the things of the...
[3:30] I think there's 12 of verse 13 somewhere there. Particular itself. Your mind is set. And then verse 13 talks about to be spiritually minded is life. Okay.
[3:41] So to be spiritually minded but to be carnally minded. So there's a whole thing. It's either your... The way you process things is a reflection of your spirituality. It's not a... That is not a reflection of your spirituality.
[3:54] Not even soul winning. It's a reflection of your... Because if your soul winning is motivated by your spiritual judgment and senses. How you process things spiritually. Then that soul winning is a reflection of your spirituality.
[4:07] So he said, I could not speak to you as spiritual. But as carnal.
[4:21] And he gave the reason. I spoke to you as babes. You are in church by feeding bottles in your mouth. You've been in church for five years but you are still in diapers.
[4:34] Spiritually. Because the things they complain about in church in the things of God. It's a reflection of their spiritual maturity. You can't survive in any department.
[4:47] You easily throw tantrums. When you're upset with them. They don't know who they are dealing with. Baby, look at the spiritual baby. Who are you? So he said, I couldn't speak to you as spiritual.
[4:59] Then he goes on to the next verse. Look at the next verse. I fed you. Oh, so is he a feeder? Yes. I fed you. Let's all say that together. I fed you. Say it louder.
[5:10] I fed you. Say it again. I fed you. I fed you with milk. So there are two things we can feed people with. Milk or solid food. King James calls solid food meat.
[5:23] Or better still, meat. Meat. I fed you with milk. Milk or milk. And not with meat. For he that you are not able to bear it.
[5:38] Neither are. Neither yet. Now. Even now you are not able to. So. He moves from. The terminology of speaking.
[5:49] And progress. And advances it to what spiritually is. He said, I fed you. So how do you feed people? By speaking to them. So Paul said.
[5:59] I. When I came. I did not speak to you as spiritual. I spoke to you as canna. And whilst I was speaking to you. That's the way I'm feeding you. The job of a pastor is to feed.
[6:11] So the word of God. Is for feeding. I don't just have to be a teacher. When God sends you.
[6:24] You don't just teach people. You feed them. Satan can also teach. Balaam can also teach. The Nicolaitans can also teach.
[6:36] Even Dezabel Revelation chapter 3 verse 11. Jezebel was teaching the people. How to have sex. In church. Yes.
[6:48] Jezebel. Teaching. I'm sure she comes to model first. Nevertheless. I have a few things against you. Because you allow that woman.
[6:59] Jezebel. Who calls her first as a prophet. To teach. You see. To teach. To teach. The difference between the one God has sent.
[7:12] And the one who God hasn't sent. Is one teaches. The other feeds. Paul said. I could not feed you. Are you learning something? I could not feed you.
[7:24] With meat. How was he going to feed them? By teaching them. Teaching them. Teaching them.
[7:37] Going to all nations and make disciples. Teaching them. Matthew chapter 28 verse 18, 19, 20. Teaching them to observe.
[7:47] Oh. Awesome. Teaching them. Teaching them. Teaching them. Teaching them. Teaching them.
[7:58] Teaching them. Teaching them. Teaching them. Teaching them. Teaching them. So the word of God. Is meat. Is for feeding.
[8:10] Acts chapter 20 verse 28. He said to the elders. Feed the flock of God. Take it to yourself. And to the flock of God. Which amongst you.
[8:21] And then the word to shepherd. is the Greek word poimen, which means to feed. So if you, let's change the translation.
[8:33] There will definitely be a translation that will use the word. Let's try NIV and see. Shepherd them, the church of God. Be shepherds, that's NIV. Let's go to Amplified.
[8:45] Amplified, let's see how, do you see that? Shepherd, it means tend. You tend to flock. You feed them and make sure that they are fleecy, okay, they are not lice and animals.
[8:59] So you tend the flock, take care of them. It means to tend, to feed and to guide. The pastor's job is to guide you not to marry the wrong person.
[9:10] To guide you not to fall into temptation. To guide you how to be strong spiritually. To guide you how to finish your unique cause and pass. Guide you to have, if you have a good pastor, it will show in the way your destiny turns out.
[9:29] You see, one of the areas that can hit you most, one, in your natural life, is your own family life. If you get the family life wrong, a lot of things will suffer in your life.
[9:42] And in fact, if you get family life wrong, your latter years tend to be quite bitter. yeah. The life you live now, you lead now, will determine how things will turn out to be.
[9:55] Oh yes. If you are in school and you are not studying, you think Holy Ghost will come and write this down for you. Your dreams, you will fail hands down and colorfully. So, the pastoring work is to help you have a balanced life, not diet, life.
[10:19] Balanced life. Your, your family life is in good shape. The word of God is for feeding.
[10:31] So, it says that feed the flock of God which is among poor men, shepherd. Acts chapter 20, verse 28. Feed. And the amplifier makes us to understand poor men means to tend, to feed, to guide.
[10:48] How can you fall into a ditch when you have a good guide? If I am pastoring you and in the next 10 years you don't do well, in the next 15 years you don't do well, then, and you have genuinely opened your heart and there are no secrets and fakery around you, then I failed.
[11:08] Do you understand that? I failed. Because the word of God transforms life and it guarantees destinies. But, if I am doing it, how do I know I didn't fail? When the same, out of the five people I taught, three of them are doing well.
[11:24] So, the two who didn't do well, something is exposing them. There was something hidden in their life and they pretended they are okay. And so, the word couldn't work. It's like, they give you injection and it didn't work.
[11:35] They give you medication and medication is not working because we told you take it three times a day. You took it once every two days. And then you come to the doctor and say, I'm doing it. I'm taking everything.
[11:47] Really? Really? You understand what I'm talking about? Unfortunately, some of you have never lived with accountability. So, you always have to put up a front.
[12:00] You are always trying to impress leadership instead of being open to be helped. You know, so, destinies are all a function of what has been inputted into you.
[12:14] Input, the input. That's why you have to be very selective who you listen to. Because you are in a formative years of destiny. before 30.
[12:27] By 30, you should know what you are called to do in life. By 40, you have settled in it and now you are building, you are actually, 30, you start.
[12:39] Jesus started as ministry at 30. John and Baptist Devon, 30. By 40, you are established in what you are doing and then building major blocks, preparing for a legacy.
[12:51] By 50, you start preparing to leave legacy and joy and you leave legacy. 70s is retirement. 60s, 70s.
[13:03] What you do with your life at the age of between 20 and 30 will determine how your 60s will be like. Pastor, so what should I do? I have the taste. Let's guide you. Be open.
[13:15] Be sincere. You can never help someone who is not sincere when it comes to medicine, legal practice and pastoral work.
[13:27] You need your clients honesty to be able to help them. He's not telling you his real age. How can you, doctor, how can you help this man?
[13:40] He's not telling you his real age. You go to sex clinic and they will ask you, how many people have you had intercourse with in the past two months?
[13:52] Don't lie. Yes. Yes. You're saying just what? Meanwhile, it's three. They can't help you.
[14:03] So when it comes to medical treatment, legal assistance and pastoral care, honesty is premium.
[14:16] Do you hear what I said? Honesty. Some of you don't know how to be honest. Say, Pastor, I didn't even know why. Maybe, maybe, why you know everything. So, back to what I'm saying.
[14:34] This is introduction. The word of God is meant to be used to feed. Feed.
[14:47] So, he said, Jezebel, Revelation chapter 3, verse 21. Jezebel was teaching Revelation chapter 2, verse 14. The teachings of Balaam.
[14:58] I've been saying this always. Revelation chapter 2, verse 15. The teachings of the Nicolaitans. So, it's not only pastors who teach. Balaam is also teaching.
[15:09] And I will say that the teaching of Balaam. Then verse 15, the teaching of the Nicolaitans. The teaching of the Nicolaitans. And then 3, 11 talks about Jezebel teaches.
[15:23] And then 3, 20, 2, 2, 11, 2, it can't be 11, 21, sorry. The teachings of Jezebel, Revelation chapter 2, verse 20.
[15:39] Yeah. Jezebel teaches. And when you look at verse 24, it even talks about the deep things of the devil. You think it's deep, but it's moving you away from God.
[15:51] Yeah, it's there. Revelation chapter 2. Is it 23 or 24? I think it's 24. Yeah. Now I say the rest of you in chapter to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan's so-called deep secret.
[16:09] Even though deep Satan, so teachings of Satan, deep Revelation, the translation says, the deep things of Satan. Deep. So you see, the Nicolaitans are teaching, Balaam is teaching, Jezebel is teaching, Satan is teaching.
[16:25] But they can teach, they can feed. The difference between a man of God and all the others is a man of God, when you are sent from God, your job is to feed.
[16:38] And how do we feed? We also feed our true teachings. I'm going to show you something. We feed through the teachings. So as I'm teaching you, I'm not just teaching your mind, but I'm feeding your spirit.
[16:52] While the others appeal to your thinking, you're feeding. But afterwards, you are as flat as a cookie.
[17:05] Flat as pancake. but when it is feeding, you feel energized in your spirit. You feel fed, you feel strengthened by the word of God to do the things of God, to work with God.
[17:23] When you finish listening to a feeder, you feel strengthened to do the things of God or do something better for God. You're able to do it. God. So when it came to teach, appointing, it's all introduction about how the word of God, when it's teaching time, it's feeding time.
[17:47] That's what I'm trying to say. When it's teaching time. But let me add this. Since I've already started talking about it, in the book of Numbers, it talks about some people rose up against Moses from verse chapter 20.
[18:01] They rose up against Moses called Korah, Korah, one guy. It's called Korah, Dayton and Abihu. Dayton and Abihu, they moved the people and said, Moses, do you think it's only you God speaks to?
[18:16] That message is here I'm looking for. Korah guarded all the congregation against them at the door of the tabernacle of meeting. Go to verse 10, 7, 10, 9.
[18:28] There's something there. I will show you. Moses said, we've made you priests. Is it not enough for you? Today we've made you a leader. Is it not enough for you? And you don't want the main seat. Hey, you want to start your own church too.
[18:45] Let's see, what does the servant say? I probably have to go to my own Bible. Okay, tomorrow, all right. You and all.
[18:57] Okay, this is when God was giving Moses some instruction. And he's about to choose something. Okay, so let's go to verse 1. Then we go, maybe it's chapter 15.
[19:08] I'm looking. That is the one thing I think I'll look on. Korah, the son of, is this his father's name? I can't even mention it. And the son of, Korah, the son of Levi, with Dathan and Abiram, son of Eliab, and On, the son of Beleth, sons of Reuben, took men.
[19:29] See what Korah, Dathan, Iberam, and On. Look at what they did. They took men, look at men, and they rose up before Moses with some of the children of Israel. 250 leaders of the congregation representing all the congregation and the men, men of renown, important people.
[19:44] They managed to rally them around. Look at what they did. They got them together against Moses and Aaron and said, you take too much upon yourself for all the congregation is holy.
[19:55] Every one of them and the Lord is among them. Why then do you exhort yourself above the assembly of the Lord? Why are you calling them God, Papa? Why are you making yourself so important?
[20:11] These guys, look at the next verse. You like the story? It's a lovely story. So while Moses heard it, he fell on his face. Sometimes it's painful. you are talking to me about I'm not in this thing for money.
[20:24] I'm in this thing to help you. Now you are talking because you saw me wearing a nice suit. You are attacking me that I'm stealing your money. When a pastor feels like that about you, it's a curse.
[20:40] It's a curse. It's a curse because his honesty versus your accusation. And that means he's entreating and I'm deploying the mandate on his life to answer to you.
[20:56] The next verse. And he spoke to Korah and all the companions saying, tomorrow morning the Lord will show who is his and who is holy and will cause him to come near to him.
[21:12] That's one who he chooses. He will cause to come near. The next verse. Do this. Take senses. And he made them take senses. And then the next verse it says that tomorrow God will choose who belongs to him.
[21:26] The next verse. Because you said, no, go to verse 7. And I said there, I always need it. Put fire in them and it shall be that the man who the Lord shall choose is the holy man. You take too much upon yourself, you sons of Levi.
[21:39] You are going too far now. Look at the next verse. verse 9. Look at verse 9.
[21:49] Is it a small thing to you that the God of Israel has separated you from the congregation of Israel to bring you near to himself, to do the work of the tabernacle of the Lord and stand before the congregation to serve him?
[22:02] You think it's a small thing to be leading music here, to be in the department, to be leading, doing outreach. God has given you. you think it's a small thing. Look at that verse 10.
[22:14] And that he has brought you near to himself, you and all your brethren, the sons of Levi with you, and are you seeking the priesthood also? Oh, that you want to, the papa want to.
[22:34] Wow. Are you seeking the priesthood also? Oh, you missed it. That's where you missed destiny. Therefore, you and all your company are gathered together against the Lord.
[22:49] And what is Aaron that you complain against him? It's not Aaron you are dealing with. Aaron didn't choose himself. He are complaining against you. God chose him and you have a problem. You have to answer to God.
[23:02] Anyway, this story is a very nice story. When you read, do you know what happened? The earth opened. swallowed them. Yeah. It's a small thing.
[23:13] And Moses said, who is on the lost side? Anybody who is on the lost side, separate yourself from these people. If you don't, because the earth is about to swallow them and everybody around them, all those who are having fun with them and having meetings with them, they are all going to go down together.
[23:29] that. Yes. So, Moses said, if the Lord creates a new thing and the earth opens his mouth and swallows them up with all that belongs to them and they go down alive in the pit, then you understand that these men have rejected the Lord.
[23:51] He said, before then, you left Sam, before then, he said, if they die a natural death, then God hasn't called me. Yes, Moses said that. If these men die naturally like all men, or if they are visited by a common faith as all men, the Lord has not sent me.
[24:13] Because they are challenging me. If they die normally, then God hasn't called me. But if the earth opens his map and swallows them as never has happened before, then you will know that God sent me.
[24:26] Moses, meekest man on the face of the earth. Meek. You see the demonstration of meekness? And anyway, he said, everybody, give them garbage.
[24:40] Stay away from them. And some people who were wise gave them space. They said, I don't want to talk about it. They deleted them from their phones. They unfriended them on social media.
[24:53] The earth opened and swallowed them up with God's work. He said, wild God.
[25:04] You won't see how wild this until you cross his work. And the earth opened its mouth. The earth has got mouth and swallowed them up with their house souls and all.
[25:16] See, when you temper God's work, it's not only you. Every important person in your life will also be a victim. With all their house souls and all the men with Korah, with all their goods.
[25:28] Anyway, it's a beautiful story. When you go, you will laugh. This is better than soap or brow. He said this. Go and read it. And then in the chapter 17, God gave Moses an instruction.
[25:41] He said, give all the, speak to the children of Israel, get them from, get them from, get from them a roll from each one's father's house.
[25:53] All the leaders according to their father's house. Twelve roads. And write each name on it. Say rod. Rod. Say rod. Rod. Yes. Let everybody bring a rod.
[26:05] You understand why I brought you to this text. The previous story is just the fun bits. How earth can swallow people. Unexplained sense. Some people, certain sickness that will come on them, the doctor will know.
[26:19] We can't, we don't know. We can see you are dying, but we don't know what is killing you. The earth has swallowed his mouth. Next time, when you wake up, you will learn the sense that it's not everything you get your medal in.
[26:37] And so it says that, speak the children, let them bring rods. Say rods. Look at the next verse. And you shall write a rod's name on the rod of Levi.
[26:50] For there shall be one rod for every head of each. So how many rods? Twelve rods. And he said, come and bring it, leave it at the tabernacle overnight. And come tomorrow morning and check.
[27:04] This is what God said to a rod. And then look at the criteria God said. Then he placed it before the meeting, that's the tabernacle. And then where I normally meet with you, leave it in my presence.
[27:16] Look at the next verse quickly. And it shall be the one whose rod will blossom that I will read. So it says that, and it shall be that the rod of the man who I have chosen will blossom.
[27:29] So if out of the twelve, one of the rods will just blossom overnight. And the one I have chosen, his rod will blossom so that I can get rid of all these complaints in the house.
[27:42] Who is important? God doesn't like this. I want to get rid of all these rebels, church rebels. God said, I personally want to clear the church of rebels, clear the congregation of rebels.
[27:56] That tells you how serious God takes rebellion. Israel. And then I'll read myself. It's my problem. Rebels in the congregation is my problem.
[28:07] So it said, I will read myself of the complaints of the children of Israel, which they make against you. They are making against you, but me, I have to read myself off. I don't want to have to see Moses.
[28:18] I don't want anyone to be complaining against you. Oh, God. Are you here with me? All right, the next verse. So Moses spoke to the children of Israel and all that bring rods.
[28:30] Look at the next verse. Seven is going to be interesting. And Moses placed the rod before the Lord in the tabernacle of witness. And then guess what? In the morning. Now it came to pass. The next day, say the next day.
[28:41] I can't hear you. I thought you would say better. I know some of you didn't know that is the word of God you are reading. Read it out loud. The word of God.
[28:51] Let's go. The next day that Moses went to the tabernacle of witness and behold, look at what has happened.
[29:02] Behold, the rod of Aaron, of the house of Levi, has sprouted one, put forth birds, two, had produced blossoms, three, and yielded ripe amulets, four, within 24 hours.
[29:19] what's a rod? A dead wood. What's a rod? A dead wood. Are you sure? Rords don't bud because they don't have life.
[29:34] A dead wood. Everybody's humanity is part of your talent. You're a dead wood in the hands of God. Church leadership is predicated not on your dead human abilities, your dead deadness of your rod.
[29:49] dead wood don't feed. Dead wood cannot feed. There are no fruits on dead wood.
[30:05] But when out of the death, God can bring out life. That's resurrection life. Oh, you see where this whole thing is going. So, within 24 hours, what could happen?
[30:20] Resurrection life has hit the kind of leader God has chosen. And suddenly, it has sprouted. Even for it to sprout, it's a miracle.
[30:31] And it didn't just sprout, it brought forth birds. And not just birds, it blossomed and then ripe. You know that it takes a while for something to ripe. But within 24 hours, the kind of leadership God chooses, is the leadership that I have can give you something to feed on.
[30:53] You are not a leader because we made you a leader. With your dry spiritual state, you can't feed. You can't feed. People who listen to you and hang around you suffer dryness.
[31:09] Dryness of their spirit. Their spiritual leadership God uses is the leadership that has the life of God. When they come near to you, something happens to you.
[31:23] You grow in the Lord. You feed on the Lord. Because spiritual leadership is about feeding, not just leading. That's why he said the kind of leader have chosen his rod will cause his rod to bat and bring forth ripe almonds.
[31:43] You want to be a leader? Build your spirit and stop looking for boys. Build your work with God. I am so frustrated about more than the Christian leaders who don't even read their Bibles.
[32:00] They don't read their Bibles. They don't listen. They live normal life like everybody. Apart from they've been in church long so they know how to take the boxes and they think because they are spiritual leaders. Excuse me.
[32:11] Dried wood. Dead wood are leading churches. Dead wood are sitting online and speaking into people's lives. Dead wood that don't produce life.
[32:23] You listen to them and by the way you finish listening to them you go and masturbate. Dead wood. You just finished listening to a dead wood. So the drive for holiness, the drive for spiritual things, you couldn't get it in spite of all the spiritual jargon they were blowing on you.
[32:42] It was hot, spiritual hot air. He said the one whose rod was bad, that's the leader of chosen. So it caused Aaron's rod to sprout, to bad, to blossom and what is even nice is ripe to be eaten.
[33:06] So when you go to Aaron there is something to eat because spiritual leadership is about feeding. That's the kind of leadership God chooses.
[33:21] It's not mental abilities. It's not just educational attainments. He said I could not feed you. So you are called to feed them.
[33:35] Called to feed. What are we to feed with? the word of God. The word of God is our nourishing substance.
[33:47] Let me show you this. So Aaron when they went to the tabernacle it has happened. And then it was obvious who God has chosen. Because you can't naturally make your rod too bad.
[33:58] This is a supernatural act of God. Spiritual leadership is a supernatural act of God. Spiritual leadership is a... God has chosen a leader. I don't like it. I can say it. It will change God's mind.
[34:10] God has chosen. And the results will speak. People always have appetite in speaking against spiritual leaders. So, and look at what God said.
[34:22] God said, listen, God said, take that Aaron's rod that has burned and keep it in the ark of the covenant.
[34:34] covenant. For, I was scared when I saw the reason why I said put it in the ark of the covenant. Bring Aaron's rod back before the third and let it be kept as a sign against rebels.
[34:50] In the ark of the covenant. So, people who rebel against spiritual leadership, there is a sign against them. The ark of the covenant is the symbol of the presence of God in his people.
[35:04] He said, keep it as a sign against. It's in your Bible. I saw that. I said, wow, there's no future for a spiritual rebel. It's his day.
[35:19] To be kept as a sign against the rebels that you may put their complaints away from me lest they die. A sign against the rebels.
[35:31] A sign. So, the ark of the covenant contains three things. Number one is what? One is what? Aaron's road that bad is inside the ark of the covenant.
[35:44] Number two, the ten commandments was not to be displayed. If there's a sign, notice, don't post it. You don't do notice and put it in a box and close it.
[35:56] that means it's not for keeping. God didn't give the ten commandments for us to keep. He just gave it to us to remind us that he's the only one who can keep it.
[36:07] So, Jesus came and kept the law for us. So, when we are in Christ, you have kept it. But, but, but, they kept the ten commandments in the tabernacle, in the, sorry, in the ark of the covenant, and the third item inside it was manna.
[36:21] Manna. That's a sign that one day I'll feed. So, it says that those who overcome, I'll give them to eat the manna of God, which is in paradise. Revelation chapter 2. Manna. Three things according to Hebrews chapter 5, no, chapter 8 or chapter 9.
[36:38] Chapter 9. It talks about the things in the tabernacle, or in the ark of the covenant. I think from verse 3, 4, 5, Hebrews 9. I think it's Hebrews 9. Yeah, I see Hebrews 9. Which are the golden censer and the ark of the covenant overlaid on all sides with gold, in which were the golden pots that had the manna.
[37:03] Aaron's, do you see that? Aaron's rod, that birded, and the tablets of the covenant, that Ten Commandments. These three things are in there. And the reason why they put Aaron's rod, you might think, what's that one doing?
[37:16] Manna, you can understand, but the rod said, it's a sign against rebels. There's a lot of reason why a lot of people don't do well, but they will never know, because they have not been taught.
[37:34] They will never know. There are some people, every attempt to do ministry will fail. people. Some of you might be familiar, some of you might also be familiar.
[37:47] I'm very familiar with things like that because I've been around for long. There are people who are doing ministry and their thing is not working. Oh, yes, there are some people you will never see the rising of sun if you attempt to do ministry on the ministry because of your rebellious spirit.
[38:05] never was interested in serving anybody. These are Jesus' words. These are Jesus' words. Luke Shabbat 13.
[38:19] How do you say 13 in French? 13. Yes, thank you. Thank you. Luke Shabbat 13. Luke, is it Luke? I was going to say Luke. No, 16.
[38:30] How do you say 16? Says. Luke Shabbat says, verse say, 3. What is wow about this one?
[38:49] Luke 16, 13. No servant can serve two masters at a time. For either he will hate one than the other one. You cannot serve God.
[39:01] I think verse 11 is better. There's something very powerful there. It will shock you. Verse 11. Verse 11. Oh, guys, are you upset? If you have not been faithful in the unrighteous, who will commit to you the true riches?
[39:19] Verse 14. Verse 14. Not that one. 15. I think maybe it's 12. Four. Okay. It's, I think it's the 12.
[39:30] Leslie, what does the 12 say? Yes, that's the one I'm looking for. There's 12. that's the one I'm looking. That's already Allah. Let's go. And if you have all been faithful in the world of the man, we will give you what you are.
[39:43] You want your ministry? Which ministry have you served faithfully? You. Your, your blossoming in ministry is forever over.
[39:59] You are blossoming. Some of you are here. And you are just waiting. When you come to a place like this, you know, there are some who are learners.
[40:12] They are students. They come and learn so they can go and do their own thing. Others are sons. A son abides forever. They are not going anywhere. Others are servers.
[40:22] They came to serve, serve, serve. They are going to serve. They may not be served. After a while, they serve and go. Others are students. Sons, students, servants. And others are schemers.
[40:36] Yes. A lot of things tell you where people are. Because Bible says that out of the abundance of the hearts, the mouth will speak. So sometimes keep quiet and listen to them talk.
[40:47] It will tell what they will feed you on. What is loaded in their hearts. You have not been faithful in that which is another man's.
[40:58] Who commits to you own? You are dead women. If you don't want to serve anybody, you are disporte. Disporte is sovereign lord.
[41:13] You are a disporte walking around because your mother kept serving everything. You don't even wash dishes at home. You don't clean. You don't know how to use vacuum clean.
[41:25] You don't wash anything. You change them, put them down, they wash it for you. They iron it for you. You come and wear it. If you have not been faithful in that which is another man's own, who will give you what is your own?
[41:46] That's how ministry went. I was telling you I know of friends whose ministries are not doing well! because I remember when it was time to be serving they were doing their own thing.
[41:57] Sometimes we are asked to go and pray. They also pray for ourselves. So I don't know who I'm talking to. Are you guys what I'm saying?
[42:09] Any kingdom giants do your research. Anybody God has elevated in the kingdom from musicians to preachers do your research. see they were serving at a certain!
[42:20] time so much been forgotten about. And when they get there people will always remember how they serve. Some of you may be in some ministry but industry. Because you don't know how to serve.
[42:33] Even in the little department you won't break through business. No I'm not saying I'm cursing you or something. No. These things I'm just quoting that scripture. Your attitude in service will determine how you rise up.
[42:50] are achieving service. There are people who are in church. They don't do anything in the church. They don't do anything in the church. They just are important people.
[43:03] VIPs. Church VIPs. Church VIPs. Yes. But everybody must learn find a way to serve faithfully.
