47 00:05:00,280 --> 00:05:02,280 A great judge I remember that 48 00:05:02,280 --> 00:05:10,280 Now so the love of Christ is the love that Jesus or the love our Lord has for us 49 00:05:11,280 --> 00:05:17,280 You know the Bible says for God so loved the wealth that he gave for God so loved the world so that is the love of 50 00:05:18,280 --> 00:05:23,280 The love of God so God so loved the wealth that he gave his son 51 00:05:24,280 --> 00:05:28,280 What is the love of God if somebody is saying God loves me or you know 52 00:05:28,280 --> 00:05:31,280 Hey 53 00:05:32,280 --> 00:05:33,280 Hold on 54 00:05:34,280 --> 00:05:39,280 Do you know that the love of God for us is not in the present is in the past 55 00:05:40,280 --> 00:05:44,280 God does not say I love you God say I loved you 56 00:05:45,280 --> 00:05:47,280 Why? 57 00:05:48,280 --> 00:05:53,280 For God so loved the wealth that he gave the love of God is not is not 58 00:05:54,280 --> 00:05:56,280 Don't say God loved me because I woke up 59 00:05:56,280 --> 00:05:58,280 Hallelujah 60 00:05:59,280 --> 00:06:04,280 The love of God. Hallelujah. It's not that you woke up from your bed 61 00:06:05,280 --> 00:06:07,280 Hallelujah 62 00:06:14,280 --> 00:06:18,280 You know the love of God is not that the love of God is the giving of Jesus 63 00:06:20,280 --> 00:06:24,280 God's love is that he gave you Jesus. Hallelujah 64 00:06:24,280 --> 00:06:30,280 Do you understand what I'm talking about? Good. And then the love of Christ is that he died for you 65 00:06:31,280 --> 00:06:37,280 So if Jesus ever tells you I love you, he's telling you I loved you saying that I died for you 66 00:06:38,280 --> 00:06:42,280 So the death of Jesus is the love of Christ 67 00:06:43,280 --> 00:06:48,280 So the Bible says the love of Christ constrains us. What is the love of Christ the gospel of Christ? 68 00:06:48,280 --> 00:06:53,280 The love of Christ is the gospel of Christ. What is the gospel of Christ? 69 00:06:54,280 --> 00:06:58,280 His death, burial, resurrection and everything that is inside for us 70 00:06:59,280 --> 00:07:05,280 So that is the love of Christ. So it says the love of Christ compels us, it constrains us 71 00:07:06,280 --> 00:07:13,280 It kind of bind us. Hallelujah. When we get to know how much Jesus had to sacrifice for us 72 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:18,280 When divinity had to give himself to be killed, to die 73 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:27,280 So that he will be able to save man when we understand the sacrifice of our Lord, we are compelled, we are constrained 74 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:35,280 Do you know what it means to constrain? We are so compelled when we look at how much he loves us 75 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:38,280 Hallelujah 76 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:44,280 You know there's this song, Jesus loves me this I know for the Bible tells me so 77 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:53,280 Now that is not wrong but it is not true. Hallelujah. It is not just the Bible tells you so 78 00:07:54,280 --> 00:08:03,280 He proved it on the cross. Hallelujah. So it is not just the Bible that tells you so 79 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:07,280 It is his proof on the cross. Now I'm not saying what the Bible said is not true 80 00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:12,280 These days when you are talking you have to explain yourself. Hallelujah. Praise the name of the Lord 81 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:22,280 But it is his work of redemption that exhibits his love or that demonstrates his love when he had to hang on the cross 82 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:29,280 Now a lot of us don't know that the death of Jesus is something nobody in this universe can ever do 83 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:34,280 We just think it's just one man who is just walking around and then they say he doesn't respect the elders 84 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:38,280 So they had to put him on a pole and hang him and nail him. No, no, no, that goes beyond that 85 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:48,280 Hallelujah. It is when the one who made all things was able to cry for a drop of water 86 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:53,280 When the one who made the ocean said that I thirst 87 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:58,280 And the people he gave them the ocean now can give him vinegar 88 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:04,280 Instead of water it is when the one who is who provides a shelter 89 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:10,280 Was naked. It's not like the Jesus in your watch. Jesus was not wearing anything 90 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,280 He was naked 91 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:18,280 The maker of the universe was naked on the cross 92 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,280 Hallelujah 93 00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:28,280 Naked and you know, they had to nail his hands one here one there 94 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:36,280 And then they nailed their legs like this and then one long nail inside it. They nailed it 95 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:42,280 And nothing was holding him. He was just there like that. And so do you know what is going to happen? 96 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:46,280 What is the law of gravity? Come on. What is the law of gravity? 97 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:51,280 So gravity simply means that whatever goes up comes down. Are you understanding that? 98 00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:56,280 Don't write it like that. That's a lame man understanding. Everything that goes down comes down. 99 00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:00,280 See you are able to jump and you don't suspend because of gravity. 100 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:09,280 There are other planetary places where when you get there, when you jump you'll be going because gravity doesn't work there. 101 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:15,280 Now so Jesus on the cross, you know what gravity was doing? Gravity will be pulling him down. 102 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:24,280 It means that the nails will be tearing his hands and his legs. Such an excruciating pain. 103 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:31,280 Hallelujah. And this was the one who made the world and that he did for you and for I. 104 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:38,280 So that we can be saved. Praise the name of the Lord. Very important. 105 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:44,280 A lot of people think, oh what we talk about Jesus died for you. We are just thinking about one guy who was just walking and then he died. 106 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:50,280 And later we are making a story that he died for us. No, no, no, no, no. He died with you in mind. 107 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:59,280 Praise the name of the Lord. He died with you in mind. You don't like what I'm telling you. He died with you in mind. 108 00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:07,280 You are the reason why Jesus died. You see Jesus did not die as a martyr. You know who a martyr is? 109 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:12,280 One who dies for his beliefs. Jesus did not die for his beliefs. He died for the world. 110 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:18,280 So John 1.29 says, Behold the Lamb of God, which taken away the sin of the world. 111 00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:25,280 For he had made him to be sin for us who knew no sin, that we might be made the righteousness of God. 112 00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:34,280 When Jesus was on the cross, he was there for us. And that is the love of Christ for us. 113 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:39,280 See when a Christian does not appreciate that, it's a problem. 114 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:45,280 For example if we are singing, He marted my bread, sugared my coconut, so so on does Jesus did do. 115 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:54,280 Jesus did not batter bread. He does not sugar. If you want, go to the store. There is somebody there who does that. 116 00:11:55,280 --> 00:12:02,280 He is battering bread and he is sugaring coconut. That is somebody's business. Jesus died for you. 117 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:11,280 Hallelujah. One of these days I think, I think during the COVID time or something, when we were doing the small small groups, 118 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:16,280 I did this thing I was talking about the death of Christ or something. You know the benefit of His death. 119 00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:27,280 Now, so the Bible says Jesus' love, what is the love of Christ? His death for us. He gave His life for us. 120 00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:35,280 Praise the Lord. He gave His life for us. He came from heaven. 121 00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:42,280 From heaven. There is a song, it says, You didn't want heaven without us. So Jesus you brought heavens down. 122 00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:49,280 My sin was great, your love was greater. One can separate us now. 123 00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:54,280 See, so my sin was great, but His love was greater. 124 00:12:55,280 --> 00:13:00,280 Now, some of you are not enjoying it. You want me to tell you that you will be travelling abroad. We are all day here. 125 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:10,280 That is the epic of God's love for us. When He was able to give. You know if you pick Islam for instance, 126 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:17,280 Islam is that fight for your founder. So you mention Mohammed's name, you don't mention it well. 127 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:23,280 You don't even add peace on him. You are in trouble. Do you understand that? 128 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:32,280 Even when he was alive, he was fighting people with his people. If you go against him, he will send people to come and finish you. 129 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:42,280 Yes, he conquered Mecca through war. Do you understand that? After all the Muslims, he conquered places through war. 130 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:49,280 He will come, he will finish you. He was a warrior. Jesus conquered the world through His vicarious love. 131 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:58,280 Through His liquid love. Hallelujah. He conquered the world through love. 132 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:07,280 You see, we don't die for Him through war. No, no, no, no. He died for us. 133 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:13,280 Oh, you don't like what I'm telling you. Some of you are very tondrously silent. I'm just wondering. 134 00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:23,280 And that is the love of Christ for you. See, and in believing that you are able to be saved, 135 00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:33,280 Romans chapter 10 verse 9 and 10, if thou shall confess with thine mouth the Lord Jesus, 136 00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:37,280 and shall believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 137 00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:42,280 You will receive. So when you believe that Jesus Christ was raised from the dead, salvation comes to you. 138 00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:48,280 You become born again. You become a child of God. You receive the nature of God. 139 00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:58,280 The very righteousness of God and the expressing of the righteousness of God with all the verities of God in you. 140 00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:05,280 Hallelujah. You come, you join the family of God. Hallelujah. Now you are born in Zion. 141 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:12,280 Now you have the spirit of God. Now you are holy. Now you are sanctified. Now you are filled with the spirit. 142 00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:18,280 Now you enjoy the Lord. Now you are heavenly bound. You are called a citizen of heaven. 143 00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:26,280 We are not trying to go to heaven. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. When you get born again, you are bound to go to heaven. 144 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:32,280 Are you understanding that? See, we don't get born again to plan or to do something to go to heaven. 145 00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:39,280 Philippians chapter 3 verse 10. What does the Bible say? The Bible says you are citizens of heaven. 146 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:45,280 No, no, no. 320. Let's go there quickly. I don't want to misquote. Alright, come on quickly. Quickly. 147 00:15:45,280 --> 00:16:01,280 320. You see, hey, the pastor said something. He's not there. 320. Woohoo. 148 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:12,280 BBE says, for our country is in heaven. For our country is in heaven. Tell somebody, our country is in heaven. 149 00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:17,280 It's like I don't have people here. Say, our country is in heaven. 150 00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:26,280 So apostle Paul said, we know where we are coming from. We know where we belong. We are not just Ghanaians. 151 00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:34,280 We are citizens of heaven. Am I communicating here? Say, I'm a citizen of heaven. I don't have people here. 152 00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:41,280 Say, I'm a citizen of heaven. We are not trying to go to heaven. Don't you understand what I'm telling you? 153 00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:55,280 We are born by heaven. Hallelujah. We are not trying to go to heaven. We are there. When you get born again, you are there. 154 00:16:55,280 --> 00:17:04,280 Hallelujah. Alright, sit down for a minute. That's where we belong. Heavenly citizens. Citizens of heaven. 155 00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:11,280 Hallelujah. Look at how the easy English puts it. 156 00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:24,280 But we belong to heaven. Our home is not really this world. Did you get it? We belong to heaven. 157 00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:33,280 Some of you, you don't like these things. We are not Jehovah's Witnesses. We are marking houses that when this thing happen, we will go and take the houses. 158 00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:42,280 No, you look at the new and fresh house that you marked. No, no, no, no, no, no. You are the earth. That's fine. 159 00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:51,280 But we are heavenly. Come on, shout it. I'm heavenly. I don't have people in this church. Say, I am heavenly. I belong to heaven. 160 00:17:51,280 --> 00:18:02,280 I belong to heaven. You see, it's like a German citizen in Ghana. No, I may be eating your food, but I don't belong here. 161 00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:10,280 I may be driving on your road, but I don't belong here. I'm a citizen of heaven. Glory to God. 162 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:20,280 Hallelujah. This is good, man. Hallelujah. Citizens of heaven. Look at how another person put it. 163 00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:27,280 He says, our citizenship, however, is in heaven. 164 00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:36,280 How many of you are trying to go to heaven? I'm sorry to disappoint you. We don't try to go to heaven. We are born there. 165 00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:42,280 Our citizenship, however, is in heaven. 166 00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:51,280 Hallelujah. Our citizenship, however, is in heaven. 167 00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:59,280 So we are here on earth, but we belong to heaven. So if Jesus comes today, will you go? 168 00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:05,280 He's coming to take you. He's just coming to take his family members. 169 00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:15,280 I belong to his family. I'm born again. I have the spirit of Christ in me. I'm marked with the Holy Ghost. 170 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:22,280 Hallelujah. Man, I should not change the message. So as we are talking, what was I saying? 171 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:30,280 So Jesus Christ loved us so that when you believe in him, you are saved. You're saved. You are not about to be saved. 172 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:39,280 Somebody said, what if you are not baptized with water? Really? You think Jesus is out there putting people in water? 173 00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:49,280 He's out there saving people. The Bible says, if thou shall confess with your mouth that the Lord Jesus is Lord, and believe with your heart that God has saved you. 174 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:58,280 The Bible says, go into all the world and preach the gospel. He that believes and is baptized shall be saved. Really? 175 00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:04,280 The Bible didn't say, he that believes and is baptized in water shall be saved. 176 00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:13,280 So what kind of baptism are you talking about? The Bible says we have one faith, one Lord, Ephesians 4. One faith, one Lord, one baptism. 177 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:21,280 We don't have two. We have one baptism. What is that baptism? It's called the baptism into the Lord, the body of Christ by the Spirit. 178 00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:29,280 1 Corinthians chapter 12 and 13, he said, for by one Spirit are you all baptized into one body. Hallelujah. 179 00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:39,280 So when you get born again, you are baptized by the Holy Spirit into the body of Christ. You are inoculated into the body. You are injected into the body of Christ. 180 00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:45,280 You become a part of Christ. I'm a legal part of Christ. 181 00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:56,280 Oh, you don't get out of the body of Christ. Hallelujah. If you came to church today, you are not happy. I can't help you. But I am a legal part of the body of Christ. 182 00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:05,280 So if Jesus is looking for his people, he calls me. Do you understand that? 183 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:09,280 So now let's come back to what I'm telling you. That's not even what I want to tell you tonight. 184 00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:18,280 Now, so how do you call it? Jesus, the Lamb of Christ, is the sacrifice he made for us. 185 00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:27,280 Hallelujah. The sacrifice he made for us. And the Bible says when Jesus Christ died for all, all died, 186 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:36,280 so the Lamb of Christ is his sacrifice, the sacrifice of himself for us. 187 00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:45,280 Now, then the Bible says in that he died for all, then all were dead. 188 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:56,280 So that those that live will no more live unto themselves. 189 00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:05,280 The reason why Jesus Christ died for us is so that when we believe in him, we will not live for ourselves. 190 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:14,280 The essence of the death of Christ, the reason why he had to die, is so that we will not live for ourselves. 191 00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:23,280 This is one of the big things in the Word of God. Hallelujah. Are we all together? 192 00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:29,280 This is one of the big things in the Word of God, that we don't live for ourselves. 193 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:35,280 It means that Jesus Christ died for us and those that believe in him should not become selfish. 194 00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:43,280 What is selfish? To live for yourself. To live for yourself. Listen. 195 00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:51,280 There are people who live for themselves. There are people who live for the devil. 196 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:59,280 And there are people who live for God. There are three dimensions of life. 197 00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:09,280 One, the one lived for self, the one lived for the devil, and the one that is lived for God. 198 00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:17,280 I think we should make it four. The one that is also lived unto the world. Hallelujah. 199 00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:22,280 There are people, they are neither here, they are neither there. They just want to enjoy life. 200 00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:31,280 They are living for the world. So, Jesus our Lord died so that we will live for him. 201 00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:45,280 Open your Bibles. Let's get there again. 202 00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:59,280 Verse 15. All of us are going to read verse 15. Open your Bibles. Verse 15. 203 00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:15,280 Verse 15, 15, 15, 2 Corinthians. And 5, 15, 2 Corinthians. Are you all there? 204 00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:34,280 Alright. Now let's go. 1, 2, go. Oh no. 1, 2, go. 1, 2, go. Uh-uh. 1, 2, go. Uh-uh. 1, 2, go. 205 00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:48,280 Some of you are not reading. 1, 2, go. Uh-uh. 206 00:24:48,280 --> 00:25:09,280 Hallelujah. So, he died for all. Jesus died for all so that, come on, look into the Word. So that, so that, I'm talking to all of us who look into your Bibles. 207 00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:22,280 Everybody look into your Bibles. He died for all so that, so Jesus died so that they which live should no more live for themselves. 208 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:37,280 So when you believe in Jesus, you are not to live for yourself. Hallelujah. When you believe in Jesus, you no longer must live for yourself. 209 00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:53,280 What does it mean to live for yourself? When you do things and live your life by yourself, for yourself, according to yourself. 210 00:25:53,280 --> 00:26:07,280 For example, there are people who say, oh, we are going out to spread the Gospel. We are going out to preach the Gospel to people. And they will say, oh no, no, no, I can't come. Why can't you come? I'm tired. 211 00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:16,280 Jesus did not die so that you will be tired and sleep when we are going to Winsops. 212 00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:26,280 For example, we are coming to church. Somebody says, I'm not coming. Why? Because it has rained. You are living for yourself. 213 00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:33,280 Are we together? You're living for yourself. And that's not why Jesus died for you. 214 00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:38,280 He did not die for you so that when it rains, you don't come to church. 215 00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:45,280 He did not die for you so that when you are hungry, you don't go to church. Why are you not going to church? Because I'm hungry. 216 00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:52,280 You ever met those guys who tell you that, ah, Jesus, I don't go to church. I'm washing God in my room. 217 00:26:53,280 --> 00:27:02,280 That is living for yourself because the Bible says we should be together. We should not forsake the assembling together of ourselves. We should not forsake it. 218 00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:08,280 When we are together, we should come together, smile to somebody, say something nice to somebody. Hallelujah. 219 00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:21,280 And most about all, receive the word of God. So the Lord Jesus died so that those of us who believe, those that will believe that he died for us, we cease to live for ourselves. 220 00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:33,280 It's no more about you. Hallelujah. You know, you are talking to people and the people are always, I, I, I, I, I. You know, I, I. You know, there's something about me. 221 00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:46,280 You know, for me, eh, about me, eh, me, when it comes to, ah, personally, when they keep on doing that and they don't even consider others, such people are living for themselves. 222 00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:58,280 May you not live for yourself. Come on. I say may you not live for yourself. Praise the name of the Lord. See, don't let your life be all about you. 223 00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:07,280 That's what the Bible says, that Jesus died so that our lives will not be all about us. Hallelujah. 224 00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:16,280 The next thing I'm doing is that I'm getting a degree. The next thing I'm doing is that I'm married, after married. The next thing I'm doing is that I'm giving birth. The next thing I'm doing is that I'm building 225 00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:22,280 The next thing I'm doing is that I'm doing this. The next. And everything is I, I, I, I. 226 00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:27,280 You never say the next thing I'm doing is I am living for God. 227 00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:31,280 The next thing I'm doing is that I'm going out for an outfish. 228 00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:39,600 outreach. Hallelujah! Now so Jesus died so that we don't live for ourselves. It's not all about you. 229 00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:45,520 Hallelujah! Because you see right now if you decide you're going to live for yourself you 230 00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:52,960 will not even have a reason to go to church. You have a reason. You have a reason because see 231 00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:56,720 every day you come to church there's a reason why you must not come to church. 232 00:28:56,720 --> 00:29:06,160 It's true. There is a reason if I ask some of you why you should not have come to church today 233 00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:09,840 somebody would have said it's rain. Somebody would have said I'm tired I want to sleep. 234 00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:14,240 Somebody would have said it. So there's always a reason why you should not come to church. 235 00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:22,240 Hallelujah! But if you understand the love that Jesus has for you, you will not be living onto 236 00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:27,920 yourself. Hallelujah! You will not say a friend has invited you for a party so you will not go 237 00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:37,280 to church. No that's a sin. You are taking your name out of the book of life. Yeah! We are to live 238 00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:45,760 not onto ourselves. Not onto ourselves. Don't let your life be all that you are looking for. 239 00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:53,920 All your ambitions, all your desires, all your plans, all your visions and all your aspirations. 240 00:29:53,920 --> 00:30:00,800 That is not life. Somebody texted me today they say, man of God please pray for me. I say why? 241 00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:06,240 They say I've gotten an opportunity to travel and I say, but the means is not there. 242 00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:10,240 Hallelujah! 243 00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:13,760 How do you expect me to pray that prayer? 244 00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:18,400 I just said thank you for revealing your plan. 245 00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:24,000 Well, dear, who should serve God with me? 246 00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:29,600 You see he has got, he's looking for money. The money is not coming. 247 00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:35,280 Where is the money going to travel from? We are not here. Hallelujah! Listen, I'm not saying 248 00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:40,960 travel is not bad, but listen, life is not all about you when you get born again. 249 00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:48,080 Life is not all about you. We are going out for soul winning. You are looking for the next man to 250 00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:55,120 marry. That is all that your mind is about. Hallelujah! The moment we win a soul, that looks 251 00:30:55,120 --> 00:31:01,440 like something you can marry. He said, ah, could this be my husband? You are not winning the soul 252 00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:08,640 for Christ. He said the spirit for the Lord, the body for myself. That is serious. Hey! 253 00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:19,920 It's, but it's serious. The moment you win a soul, you are looking at, wow, this one I can marry. 254 00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:28,480 Marriage is in your mind. When Jesus is saving people from the fire, you are, you want to marry 255 00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:35,600 someone who just came out of fire. How is that possible? Do you understand what I'm talking to 256 00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:46,000 you about? It's serious. It's serious. It's serious. It's not all about you. It's okay to be single for 257 00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:52,640 a long time. Are you understanding that? It's okay to be single for a long time. It's okay. 258 00:31:54,400 --> 00:32:02,960 It's okay. I say, lady, it's okay that no one is proposing to you. It's okay. Life is not all about 259 00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:08,560 who is telling you, I want to marry you and then you are dead. You are mesmerized and your face is 260 00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:16,400 looking like chocolate that is not cooked. It's okay. Are you understanding that? Yes, it's okay. 261 00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:22,960 That you a guy, you can be there for one year, two years, three years after your heartbreak. 262 00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:27,680 It's okay. Don't just get up and write. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. 263 00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:34,240 And you ladies have been telling you, if any guy comes to you to tell you, I love you, tell the 264 00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:41,360 person, go and propose to daddy first. Because I know my sons, I know all of them, they are character. 265 00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:52,000 Some of them are really bombs, bombs, atomic bombs. You go and say yes to your own 266 00:32:53,680 --> 00:33:00,960 your own this thing. That's the way you will die. Do you understand what I'm talking to everyone? Yes. 267 00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:07,120 Tell the person, please this life is not all about yourself. Can't you just concentrate on the Lord? 268 00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:15,360 Hallelujah. Life is not lived for self when you get born again. Praise the name of the Lord. 269 00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:21,200 Are we together here? Or you are angry? The same way, I mean if you see any lady making advances 270 00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:25,600 towards you, say if you don't stop your own, don't even come and tell me. If you don't stop it, I will slap you. 271 00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:30,640 We are witness of 30 days of this day and you are here and you are thinking about who to propose to. 272 00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:37,680 My friend, this heaven we are going now, we are going to receive crowns of gold and crowns of 273 00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:45,920 what crown? You get crown and table crown. That's what you will get. Hallelujah. Say I'm not living for myself. 274 00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:53,280 Don't live for yourself. Be seated. He says, so they will not live for themselves but they will live 275 00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:59,840 they will live. Come on. They will live. That last part. They will live unto him 276 00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:12,000 who died for them and rose again. And who is that? There is only one person worth living for. 277 00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:20,880 His name is the Lord Jesus Christ. He must fill your aspiration. He must fill your ambition. 278 00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:28,560 He must be the reason why you are alive. Didn't you read what Paul said? For to me to live is Christ. 279 00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:35,920 Hallelujah. Come on. You are not getting that. Paul is saying that the reason for my life is Christ. 280 00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:41,360 The reason for living is Christ. It means that if you take Christ out, I don't have any reason to be 281 00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:50,720 alive. Hallelujah. Say for to me to live is Christ. See if you go and ask a Christian, I mean maybe 282 00:34:50,720 --> 00:34:55,200 here in church you'll find some sensible questions and some sensible answers but if you go out and 283 00:34:55,200 --> 00:35:02,960 you ask some Christians what is the meaning of life? Life. If it's a lady, life. What life are you 284 00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:10,800 talking about? Life? Alright. So life, you know, you get all the nice things in this world. You get a 285 00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:16,880 car. You get a house. Then you get a rich husband, you know, like a husband that can spoil you with 286 00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:27,200 money. Then shaking the shoulder, money. That's not life. Hallelujah. That is not life. 287 00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:33,120 See life is about what you drive, what you wear, where you sleep. You know, 288 00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:40,160 every day you will know you are posting jiwago. It will take you 70 years before you can buy one. 289 00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:46,720 You are posting jiwago. You are posting kyu, this thing and this thing. 290 00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:53,360 You know when you post it, maybe you post it, you post it and you see maybe a tv that is rotating, 291 00:35:53,360 --> 00:36:00,800 then you you will ask Pasar Crescent's voice, I refuse to be poor. I will never be broke again. 292 00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:09,680 I will never be broke in my life. That's a Christian. What is driving you? 293 00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:14,800 You are a Christian. You see your mate you completed school with, the one who come 294 00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:21,680 and pass with a white Benz. Then we just roll down. We say, hey, how have you been? Oh wow, wow, wow. 295 00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:25,200 And you look the way you have walked because that time it has not rained like today. 296 00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:31,200 And your legs and your foot has collected dust and the perfume that is coming out of the Benz, 297 00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:38,160 then you begin to question God. God is not out there giving you Benz's. He says you must live for God. 298 00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:45,520 You live for him who died. Hallelujah. Sometimes you ladies, you can even have one guy come in 299 00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:51,440 your life, you look at that guy and the guy is really really man a good spec baby. That's a spec. 300 00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:59,840 At least it's a spec. But the guy is not born again. So man of God is a very nice guy. He loves 301 00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:03,760 the Lord and everything. Just that he doesn't like this born again, born again thing. 302 00:37:04,720 --> 00:37:08,480 Somebody was marrying somebody, they told the girl, I don't want the wedding to be in church. 303 00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:11,440 It's not like they don't have it. They have a church building. So I don't want the wedding to 304 00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:17,520 be in church. They said, well, we just go and do it in the garden. Me, if I'm your pastor, I'll tell 305 00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:23,120 you a trick. That baby, I won't come. I won't come and do the wedding in the garden. Because you are 306 00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:34,880 not a flower. You are a Christian. Hallelujah. So we live our lives for Jesus. The one who died for us 307 00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:41,840 and who rose again. Hallelujah. He is, he is, Jesus is the purpose for life. 308 00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:49,200 Oh, calabasas. One time a pastor told me, he said, I don't know what my people, my people, 309 00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:53,120 they are not responding. I've taken time to teach them about purpose, purpose, 310 00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:57,280 purpose. They should have a purpose for life. I said, no, no, no, no, no, it's not about that. 311 00:37:57,840 --> 00:38:02,080 There's no, there's no other purpose. So you want somebody says, have you found your purpose in 312 00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:05,120 life? You are a Christian. If somebody asks you, what's your purpose in life? Say Christ. 313 00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:14,880 That's a perfect, heaven will be glad. The purpose for life is Christ. It's Christ. He is the reason 314 00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:23,040 why we live. He is the reason why we are alive. Hallelujah. For me to live is Christ. 315 00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:30,720 He's the one who moves my heart. He's the one who drives my ambitions. Hallelujah. 316 00:38:30,720 --> 00:38:36,000 Praise the name of the Lord. If you ask somebody right now, why do you want to get money? You see 317 00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:53,120 the person say, ha, ha, ha, you want to get range, range Rover. You want to range Rover. 318 00:38:53,120 --> 00:39:01,440 You want to range Rover. But you can ask somebody, why do you want to get money? Say ministry. 319 00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:06,880 And the person is not faking it all. There are people in church who say, God give me money for 320 00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:11,680 ministry. They are lying. Even the 200 ganadars in your account, when you come to church, you still 321 00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:18,320 give 50 pesos of free. So you are lying. Do you understand? Christ must drive your ambition. 322 00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:23,760 He must be the reason why you are living. Hallelujah. You see, that's why when you meet 323 00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:28,960 Christ, when you truly meet Christ, I'm not saying when you go to church, when you truly 324 00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:35,520 meet the Lord Jesus Christ, your direction for life changes. I wanted to be a lawyer. I wanted 325 00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:41,920 to be a journalist, a politician, or a medical doctor. I mean, when I was in class two class, 326 00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:49,200 I was thinking about pilot, but I'm not a witch to be flying. So I settled with journalist, lawyer, 327 00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:55,120 a doctor. Hallelujah. Or a politician. And when I was in SITS1 Fresh, I was doing politics. 328 00:39:56,800 --> 00:40:01,040 One mate of mine right now, he's even, he's he contesting for SRC at Legom. He was, 329 00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:10,960 hallelujah. But here I am. I have found the true worth of life. Christ. Hallelujah. And I never 330 00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:18,400 regret knowing Jesus. Hallelujah. No, no, I never regret knowing Jesus. That's the best decision you 331 00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:24,400 can ever take or make in life. To work with Jesus Christ, that is the best decision ever. 332 00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:30,080 People go to church, they don't know him. But you see, that's why I'm teaching you him right now. 333 00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:38,160 That's the best decision. To learn of him. To daily become like Christ. To busy yourself with 334 00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:44,240 Christ. Hallelujah. Young people, are you here with me? Come on, you here with me everybody? 335 00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:52,960 That is the best thing in life. One of the ways you live for yourself is whenever you post nonsense 336 00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:59,200 on your status. You are living for yourself because you are, you found something that is funny and you 337 00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:03,040 are putting it for people to read. So I will know that, oh, you are funny. You are not funny. 338 00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:15,920 You are selfish. I like the way Gabby says, hey, hey. Use that to share the gospel. 339 00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:22,960 As your sister, some of you have friends, you know that they don't go to church. You know that 340 00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:26,960 they don't even know they know Jesus Christ. But they never come into your mind. Meanwhile, 341 00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:34,400 you meet them and you fool with them, alright. It's serious. It doesn't come, oh, Charlie, 342 00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:38,880 let's go to church. Oh, this Sunday, let's go to church. I want to invite you to church. How much 343 00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:48,560 will it cost to invite your friend to church? How difficult is that? Hallelujah. Say, I bring 344 00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:54,560 my friends to the house of God. Like you may say, I bring my friends to the house of God. 345 00:41:54,560 --> 00:42:01,680 That we must live our lives for Jesus. Live our lives for Jesus. Come on, tell somebody, 346 00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:10,240 live your life for Jesus. You will not just be in the house and say, hey, hey, church is in the 347 00:42:10,240 --> 00:42:13,920 heart. Christianity is in the heart. It's not about going to, you know there are people like that. 348 00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:19,280 Christianity is in the heart. It's not about going to church. That Bible you are saying is in the 349 00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:25,440 heart. No problem. The Bible says what is in the heart is what is coming out. So it is never in 350 00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:30,800 your heart. Because if it's in your heart, the churches this day, they don't ask you. Who should 351 00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:37,440 love you? You, have you loved, have you finished loving? Mad people who are mostly, who mostly 352 00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:42,720 have that issue. Nobody loves me. First question you have to ask them, how many people have really 353 00:42:42,720 --> 00:42:49,760 loved in the church? You are not loved, who wants only to love you? Love and you will be loved. 354 00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:59,760 Don't let your life be the center for your living. Because the reason why Jesus died 355 00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:04,960 is so that we can live for him. So whenever you hear we are doing something for Christ, 356 00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:09,760 forget, before even some excuses will come inside your mind, be there. 357 00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:15,760 Hallelujah. Did you understand what I am talking about? That is what it means to say I have met 358 00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:22,880 Jesus. Because he says he died for all, so that when we receive his love, which is his death, 359 00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:33,920 we will no more live for ourselves. So the way to say that, the way to show that you have met him 360 00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:43,920 is to live for him. It is to be an agent of Christ here on earth. Be an agent of Christ. 361 00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:49,920 That is what it means to meet Christ. That is what it means to believe in Jesus. Your life is 362 00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:55,920 changed. The same person who will go and waste time sitting somewhere and be chatting and in the 363 00:43:55,920 --> 00:44:01,920 morning will get up and galavanting, galavanting all around, meeting people, meeting people, 364 00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:07,920 talking about sports, talking about whatever. It is like this person is changing. It is like this 365 00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:13,920 person, his conversations are changing. The way he lives is like he is changing. It is like right now 366 00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:17,920 he has become too much, I am going to church, I am going to church, I am going to church. If they 367 00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:21,920 do not start accusing him, it is like you go to church too much. If they do not accuse you, 368 00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:27,920 you have not met Christ yet. As for me, I can only come to church on Sundays. We see that. 369 00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:35,920 As for me, I can only come to church on Sundays. We can see it in your face. Because you see, 370 00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:41,920 on Wednesdays I am not in the mood. On Fridays I am not in the mood. Evening sets in. I don't know. 371 00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:47,920 When I go, my place is very dark. My place is people who attack people. Who is attacking who? 372 00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:59,920 Hallelujah. So the Bible tells us that we must not live unto ourselves. We must not be the reason why we are alive. 373 00:44:59,920 --> 00:45:05,920 I am the reason why I am alive. Making mama proud. We don't live to make mama proud. 374 00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:09,920 That is what the Bible says. We don't live to make mama proud. 375 00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:17,920 I tell my 16 years girl, one day you will eat from the fruit of your labor. Labor does not have fruits. 376 00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:23,920 Hallelujah. Listen, we don't live to make mama proud. I know some of you will not agree with me. 377 00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:27,920 No, no, no, no. The point is, in fact, if Jesus died so that we would live and make mama proud, 378 00:45:27,920 --> 00:45:33,920 it is if we would live for He who loved us, who died and rose again. 379 00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:38,920 And you see, when you live for Jesus, automatically your mama will be proud. 380 00:45:38,920 --> 00:45:44,920 In the beginning they may not agree. But I tell you the things my mother herself says. 381 00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:48,920 The only one that you should come to the church, you can give her a knock for me. 382 00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:54,920 She says, see this woman. You understand? 383 00:45:54,920 --> 00:46:02,920 But now she was telling a friend, oh, hey, oh, when I met my friend, 384 00:46:02,920 --> 00:46:08,920 I told him, oh, my friend, young, young, young, young woman. 385 00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:14,920 I told him, young, young, young, young woman, I told him, Jesus, young, young, young woman. 386 00:46:14,920 --> 00:46:18,920 Oh, I was like, why are you crying? Why are you crying? 387 00:46:18,920 --> 00:46:22,920 What are you crying about? You know, last month, I didn't know what you were saying. 388 00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:28,920 What are you crying about? I was like, oh, I am crying. 389 00:46:28,920 --> 00:46:32,920 I am crying because I am crying because I am crying because I am crying. 390 00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:35,920 You know, he was just advertising me. 391 00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:44,920 So when I heard that, I said, ah, from who is my mother? I said, which of their mothers? 392 00:46:44,920 --> 00:46:52,920 So when you live for Jesus and you become strong on it, very soon people will be proud of you. 393 00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:55,920 So proud of you. Oh, wow. 394 00:46:55,920 --> 00:47:02,920 Life is the perfect life to live your life for Jesus. Hallelujah. 395 00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:10,920 And let Christ drive your motives. Let Christ drive your ambitions. Let Christ drive your desire. 396 00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:15,920 If you are going to desire anything in this world, let it be Christ driven. 397 00:47:15,920 --> 00:47:21,920 If you are going to aspire anything in this world, let it be Christ driven. 398 00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:29,920 Don't be selfish. You may have a lot of reasons why you should do this or you should stop this or stuff like that, 399 00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:34,920 but always make sure that it is Christ driven. It is Christ centered. 400 00:47:34,920 --> 00:47:39,920 Hallelujah. It is Christ focused. For me to live is Christ. 401 00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:43,920 Put that there. Philippians. Let's go to Philippians. 402 00:47:43,920 --> 00:47:51,920 122, I believe. Now we are closing right now. We are out of time. 403 00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:59,920 I didn't come to preach. I just came to tell you one or two things. 404 00:47:59,920 --> 00:48:07,920 Verse 21. 405 00:48:07,920 --> 00:48:20,920 All of you, let's read out the first part once you go. If you are there, come on. Philippians 1.21. 406 00:48:20,920 --> 00:48:30,920 The Bible says, the Bible in basic English is, for to me, life is Christ. 407 00:48:30,920 --> 00:48:34,920 What is life? Come on, what is life? 408 00:48:34,920 --> 00:48:39,920 Talk to me, what is life? Life is Christ. 409 00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:49,920 You understand? Life is not fight. Life is Christ. 410 00:48:49,920 --> 00:48:53,920 Hallelujah. Life is Christ. 411 00:48:53,920 --> 00:48:58,920 Until your life is defined that way, you are not living a purposeful life. 412 00:48:58,920 --> 00:49:02,920 A purposeful life is not a life that you become a medical doctor or a teacher or something. 413 00:49:02,920 --> 00:49:06,920 That is career. There is no problem with that. If you want to become, that's fine. 414 00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:14,920 But life is Christ. I said life is what? Talk to me, life is what? Life is Christ. 415 00:49:14,920 --> 00:49:21,920 So make up your mind that your life will be centered around Christ. 416 00:49:21,920 --> 00:49:23,920 Today you are going to church. You are reading your Bible. 417 00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:26,920 And then they will start even calling you, hey, you see the wires of Miami. 418 00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:29,920 Hey, you see the wires of Miami. Hey, see that's what Christ is trying to do. 419 00:49:29,920 --> 00:49:33,920 Your life is all about Christ. And you see your life will be changing. 420 00:49:33,920 --> 00:49:39,920 You that used to be a fighter, they don't care you. When they care you, they care you. 421 00:49:39,920 --> 00:49:44,920 It will be war. Right now it's like your life has changed. 422 00:49:44,920 --> 00:49:47,920 The things that used to anger you, they don't anger you again. 423 00:49:47,920 --> 00:49:51,920 Say I'm angry, I'm angry. Leave me, I'm angry, I'm angry. Hey, I'm angry. 424 00:49:51,920 --> 00:49:56,920 Your life is changed. You be in the house, five people are in the house, you don't talk to them. 425 00:49:56,920 --> 00:50:00,920 When you wake up, when you get up, you are gaga. 426 00:50:00,920 --> 00:50:06,920 You see, some people you meet, they have neck pains. 427 00:50:06,920 --> 00:50:09,920 It's not because they are sick or no, they are not sick. 428 00:50:09,920 --> 00:50:14,920 But the way they walk, the way they do their neck. 429 00:50:14,920 --> 00:50:19,920 Their neck. So they are skinned. 430 00:50:19,920 --> 00:50:23,920 You look at them and sometimes you look at their face and their mouth. 431 00:50:23,920 --> 00:50:29,920 It's like a parallelogram. You know parallelogram? 432 00:50:29,920 --> 00:50:33,920 Because they are never happy, they are never excited. 433 00:50:33,920 --> 00:50:41,920 But when you truly meet the Lord Jesus, your life is changed. 434 00:50:41,920 --> 00:50:45,920 You smile of it. The things that used to bore you are changed. 435 00:50:45,920 --> 00:50:50,920 They don't bore you again. You are so excited to know Jesus, so excited to be with the Lord. 436 00:50:50,920 --> 00:50:55,920 Hallelujah. This is what life is. 437 00:50:55,920 --> 00:51:00,920 Hallelujah. I said this is what life is. 438 00:51:00,920 --> 00:51:02,920 Let me tell you this, let me close with this. 439 00:51:02,920 --> 00:51:09,920 At the point of every human being, alright, in the life of every human being, 440 00:51:09,920 --> 00:51:19,920 there is a point where people encounter what changes their lives. 441 00:51:19,920 --> 00:51:23,920 So as I'm here, I was not born like this. 442 00:51:23,920 --> 00:51:28,920 Last I was telling them my testimony, I have been in wakey-peas before. 443 00:51:28,920 --> 00:51:30,920 Wakey-peas. My grandma would be the one to wake you up. 444 00:51:30,920 --> 00:51:33,920 There are women from Accra who are in Chilsung. 445 00:51:33,920 --> 00:51:36,920 My grandma is a darling woman. 446 00:51:36,920 --> 00:51:39,920 She does not understand why you are a male. 447 00:51:39,920 --> 00:51:43,920 And then the wakey-peas going on and people are dancing and you are sleeping by the stove. 448 00:51:43,920 --> 00:51:46,920 If you don't get out, he will pour water on you. 449 00:51:46,920 --> 00:51:49,920 You get out there and go and look for yourself what is happening there. 450 00:51:49,920 --> 00:51:53,920 Do you understand that?
