21:17>> Amen.
21:18>> All right. So, I'm sharing with you on
21:20benefits of the cell ministry. Um
21:24I have a few points here but I'll just
21:26do for the sake of time. I may not be
21:28able to do a lot with us but um wherever
21:31we get to we'll stop to the glory of
21:32God. So I want to share with you on um
21:35benefit of the cell ministry once again.
21:37And the point the first point I have is
21:39um the the cell ministry helps you
21:42fulfill your ministry.
21:45the the cell ministry helps you to
21:49fulfill your ministry. Um it's amazing
21:52how
21:54um
21:56sometimes Christians don't know that
21:58they have a ministry to fulfill. Um all
22:02of us are called. If you read in the
22:03Bible, you will notice how that every
22:06child of God is called of God. And we
22:09have a ministry to fulfill. will have a
22:12ministry from our Lord and Savior Jesus
22:15Christ to fulfill. If you read in um
22:17Matthew chapter 28 um verse 20, if you
22:21kindly show it to us, Matthew 28:20,
22:23Jesus um said, [music] let's read from
22:26verse 18, so that it makes more sense.
22:29And Jesus came and spake unto them
22:30saying, "All power is given unto me in
22:33heaven and in earth." The word power
22:35there is exusia, authority. The the
22:38Greek word is exusia, which means
22:39authority. All authority is given unto
22:41[music] me in heaven and in earth. Verse
22:44verse 19. Then it says, "Go ye therefore
22:46and teach all nations, baptizing them in
22:49the in the name of the father and of the
22:51son and of the holy ghost." Now the King
22:53James says,
22:54"Teach all nations." But the New King
22:57James says something else, which is
23:01actually what the the Bible is making
23:03reference to or what Jesus was actually
23:05talking about. It says that so the New
23:07King James says [music] that go
23:08therefore and make disciples of all the
23:11nations. That is what Jesus was um
23:15talking about. Make disciples of all
23:17nations. So go therefore and make
23:19disciples of all the nations baptizing
23:21them in the name of the father and of
23:23the son and of the holy ghost. So
23:25biblically speaking the authority that
23:27Jesus [music]
23:28um has given to us is for the purpose of
23:32making disciples of all nations. [music]
23:35So the more disciples we make, the more
23:38of Christ's authority we see in the
23:40earth. The more disciples we make, the
23:43more of Christ's authority we see in the
23:45earth. [music] And the more um um if the
23:49more authority, the more we want
23:51Christ's authority to be expressed in
23:52the air, the more disciples we should
23:54make. Do you see? [music] So it's like a
23:59one that something that leads one that
24:00leads to the other. Authority [music]
24:02from Christ leads to disciples being
24:04made and disciples being made leads to
24:07Christ's authority being felt in the
24:09Lord. If if you notice that there are
24:11some people who orphans around you who
24:13need to be taken care of and all of that
24:15and you feel led to take care of them.
24:18That's that that means that Christ
24:20authority is not in that area. You see
24:22the the the orphans are not being taken
24:24care of and [music] they need to be
24:26helped. They need to be taken care of
24:27and if Christ authority comes there
24:30they'll be fed. They'll be helped.
24:31[music] They'll be raised. They'll be
24:32taken to school. I mean, a lot of things
24:34will happen for them. And God depends on
24:36us [music] who are disciples to bring
24:39his authority into the earth. You know,
24:40Jesus prayed and said, "Thy will be done
24:43on earth even as it is in heaven." And
24:45God [music] is depending on you and I to
24:47make sure his will is done in the earth.
24:50Hallelujah.
24:51>> Hallelujah.
24:51>> So, there's nothing like a a a salvation
24:54without a calling. I [music] mean, if
24:56you are saved, you are called. And I
24:59want to show it to you. you have
25:00something to do, you have a ministry to
25:02fulfill. Um, let us look at 2
25:04Corinthians 5:1 17. When it comes to
25:08fulfilling the ministry, it's almost as
25:09though um, God is God is selfish in
25:13quotes, if you like, [music] just in
25:16quotes, you know, because of these
25:18verses I'm going to read to you. I'm not
25:19saying God is selfish, but I'm just
25:20saying that it's almost as though
25:22because of the the agency with which,
25:24you know, he he does things. It says,
25:26"Therefore, if any man be in Christ, he
25:28is a new creature. Old things are passed
25:31away. Behold, all things are become
25:32new." Now, next verse, it says, "And all
25:35things are of God, who has reconciled us
25:38to himself by Jesus Christ, and has
25:40given to us the [music] ministry of
25:42reconciliation."
25:44Do you see? To that God was in Christ
25:47reconciling the world into himself, unto
25:48himself, not inuting their trespasses
25:50unto them, and has committed unto us the
25:52word of reconciliation. Now God gives
25:55us, go back to verse [music] verse 17.
25:57If any man be in Christ, he's a new
25:59creation. Old things are part of behold
26:01all things have become new. Then he says
26:02[music] in verse 18, and all things are
26:06of God who has reconciled us to himself
26:08by Jesus Christ and has given to us the
26:11ministry of reconciliation. So
26:13immediately you get born again, God
26:15gives you a ministry, the ministry of
26:18reconciliation, the ministry of bringing
26:20others to him. I think a lighter version
26:21will help us. Can we read? I think the
26:23message version is nice. Look at let's
26:25look at the message version. [music]
26:26Verse 18. All this comes from the God
26:29who settled the relationship between us
26:30and him and then called us to settle our
26:33relationship with each other. No, that's
26:34not what he's saying. He's not trying to
26:35let us settle our relationship with each
26:36other. Let's look at is it easy English?
26:39Easy English. Show us easy English.
26:43All this is the work of God who because
26:45of Christ have has stopped being angry
26:48with us. By Christ we have becomes God's
26:50we have become God's friends instead of
26:53his enemies and he wants us to bring
26:55other people to be his friends also.
26:58This is the job that he has given to us.
27:00Can you imagine? Immediately you get
27:02born again God gives you a job.
27:05I mean it's like giving a job to a a a
27:09freshly born baby. As soon as you are
27:10born God says my friend you have a job
27:14to do. Immediately you get born again.
27:17It comes together. Our salvation comes
27:19together with our calling, with our
27:21ministry, with a job of bringing others.
27:24He wants us to bring other people to be
27:26his friends also. This is the job that
27:28he has given to us. So every child of
27:30God has this particular ministry or this
27:33job that God has given to us and it's
27:35given at the new birth. The immediately
27:38you get born again. So you've been born
27:40again for 6 months, you've not been
27:41doing and you've not been doing this
27:43job, you have been losing out on what
27:45you're supposed to do. If you've been
27:46born again for 10 years or 20 years, if
27:48you've not been doing this job, you have
27:49been losing out on what God wants you to
27:51do because it came with the calling. It
27:54came with the calling. All of us have
27:57been called. All of us have a ministry
27:59to fulfill. And there are a lot of
28:00verses that I'm going to show you along
28:02the same line. [music] Now, look at 2
28:04Timothy 1:9.
28:06Of course, I mean, on a normal day, you
28:07not give a child a responsibility, but
28:09God gives us responsibilities. [music]
28:11Immediately, we get born again. That's
28:12why I said it's almost as though God is
28:14there's so much urgency related [music]
28:16to what God wants done. He wants many
28:18people to reconcile to him or many
28:20people to become his friends and [music]
28:21become intimate with him and he depends
28:23on us to get that done. That is why he
28:25says all authority is given unto me. You
28:27go [music] therefore and make disciples
28:29of all nations. Now 2 Timothy chapter 1
28:32verse 9 says that God who has saved us
28:35and called us with an holy calling not
28:37according to our work. So God saves us.
28:39If you read in verse 8, you see God
28:41[music] is talking about. Go to verse 8.
28:43It says, "Be not be not thou therefore
28:44ashamed of the testimony of our Lord,
28:46nor of me his prisoner, [music] but be
28:49thou partaker of the afflictions of the
28:50gospel according to the power of God."
28:53Semicolon. So you can continue by saying
28:56God who has saved us. So his God is
28:58talking about God saved us. Then he
29:01says, "And he called us with an holy
29:03calling." We are saved and called with
29:06an holy calling. Then he says, "Not
29:07according to our works." This calling is
29:09not according to our works but according
29:11to his own purpose and grace which was
29:13given us in Christ Jesus before the
29:15world began. So your calling is before
29:17the world began. It is older than you
29:19than you. Your calling God called you
29:22way before you came. Yes. It's not
29:24today. You are now discovering it. If
29:26today's the day first time you getting
29:27to know about it, you are just making a
29:29new discovery. If you've known about
29:30[clears throat] it, you discovered this
29:31some time ago. You see, God has saved us
29:34and God has called us. We have a calling
29:37from the Lord and we we have to attend
29:41to it because there are rewards at
29:42stake. There are rewards at stake. Every
29:45child of God is called. Look at Romans
29:48chapter 1 [music] verse 5. Romans
29:50chapter 1 verse 5.
29:53He's talking about our Lord and Savior
29:55Jesus Christ. And he says, "By whom?"
29:57Maybe we should read from verse 4 so it
29:58can help us. Look at verse four. says,
30:00"And declare to be the son of God with
30:02power according to the spirit of
30:03holiness [music] by the resurrection
30:05from the dead." That's our Lord and
30:06Savior Jesus Christ. Then it says, "By
30:08Christ whom we have received grace and
30:12apostilhip for obedience to the faith
30:15among all nations for his name." By
30:18Jesus, we have received grace. [music]
30:20Grace is all that comes to us
30:22immediately. We get born again. You see,
30:24grace is God forgiving our sins when we
30:27don't we don't deserve it. Grace is God
30:30making us righteous when we don't
30:32deserve it. Grace is God giving us faith
30:34when we don't deserve it. Grace is God
30:36healing us when we don't deserve it.
30:38Grace is God [music] giving us health,
30:41blessings, prosperity, you know,
30:43stability, clearing us from condemnation
30:45and guilt when we don't deserve it. The
30:47Bible says that by grace are ye saved.
30:50So whenever grace is mentioned, it has
30:51to do with salvation. Our Lord and
30:52Savior Jesus Christ is the the one who
30:55brought in the grace [music] of God. So
30:57when you read in 2 Corinthians 13:14,
30:59the Bible talks about the grace of the
31:02Lord of the Lord Jesus Christ and the
31:03love of God and the coming of the Holy
31:05Ghost [music] be with you all. God is
31:07the one from whom all love comes from.
31:09For God so loved the world that he
31:11[music] gave his only begotten son.
31:13Love, God is love. God the father is
31:15love and love gives us [music] grace.
31:18That is the son. Jesus Christ is is the
31:21grace of God manifest in the earth. You
31:24see, [music] and the grace of God is for
31:26the purpose of bringing us salvation.
31:28Ephesians chapter 2 verse 8 [music]
31:30talks about by grace are you saved. Can
31:31you show it to us? For by grace are you
31:33saved through [music] faith and that not
31:36of yourselves. It is the gift of God.
31:38Verse 9, not of works lest any man
31:40should boast. So by grace we are saved.
31:43Now after we are saved by grace, he says
31:45that as soon as we saved by grace, we
31:47are also called and have an apostilhip.
31:50Apostilhip has to do with being sent to
31:52accomplish something. Go back to Romans
31:541:5. It says, "By whom we have received.
31:56By Jesus, we have received grace and
31:59also received apostilhip." For what
32:01purpose? For the purpose of obedience to
32:05the faith among all nations. [music] He
32:08wants all nations to obey the the the
32:12gospel. Okay?
32:16because of our apostilhip through our
32:18apostilhip by whom [music] we have
32:19received grace and apostilhip for
32:21obedience for the purpose of obedience
32:23to the faith. This is not the faith is
32:26in reference to what brings us
32:27salvation. He's not talking about there
32:29are two types of faith. There's the
32:30subjective faith and [music] then
32:32there's objective faith. You see the
32:34objective faith we have is the the the
32:37faith righteousness that comes by our
32:40believing in Jesus what Jesus did on the
32:42cross that he died and rose from the
32:44dead. You see when you declare that you
32:45become a child of God. That's what
32:47you're making many children of God.
32:49Obedience [music] to the faith among all
32:52nations for his name. Hallelujah.
32:55>> Hallelujah.
32:56>> So we are called. We are saved and we
32:59are called. Our salvation comes with a
33:03call and you can't you can't run away
33:05from it. There are children of God who
33:06want to run away from it. Who don't want
33:08to um do much for the Lord. sometimes
33:10because of ignorance and sometimes
33:12because of um a sheer a lack of you know
33:17interest. [music] But I believe that as
33:18we hear the word of God, God is going to
33:20empower us. We're going to be encouraged
33:22by God to do [music] what he wants us to
33:24do. The cell ministry affords you,
33:26allows you to respond to the call to the
33:28ministry that God has given to you and I
33:31to [music] fulfill. Now, let me show you
33:32some more. Ephesians 4:1.
33:36Ephesians 4:1. These verses show us that
33:39Christians are the ones who are called
33:40to do the work of the ministry. It says,
33:42"And [music] he gave some apostles and
33:44some prophets and some evangelists and
33:46some pastors and teachers for [music]
33:48what purpose?" For the for the purpose
33:49of perfecting the saints for the work of
33:52the ministry. You see, there's no comma
33:54between the saints [music] and for you.
33:56It is for the perfection of the saints
33:58for the work of the ministry. Okay? The
34:00saints are to be perfected by the
34:03apostles, pastors, prophets, teachers.
34:05Our job is to perfect you or raise you
34:07up or equip you. The word perfect is
34:09katismas and it means to equip someone
34:11[music] to give the necessary equipment
34:13to a particular person for his job. So
34:16the the pastor's job is to equip you.
34:19That's why we are teaching you to equip
34:20you with the word of God to equip you
34:22with the knowledge of God. You know our
34:24job is to [music] bring the knowledge of
34:25God to you for you to have understanding
34:28of what you're doing. It's always good
34:29to know what you're doing and understand
34:31what you're doing. Let me show you a
34:33verse in Jeremiah. And Jeremiah 3:15
34:36talks about how that I'll give you
34:37pastors after my own hearts who shall
34:40feed you. You see, who shall feed you
34:42with knowledge and understanding. So a
34:44pastor is sent by God to feed you with
34:47knowledge and understanding. To feed you
34:50with knowledge and with understanding.
34:51And that's what we do to bring you the
34:53knowledge of God's word, the
34:54understanding of God's word so that you
34:56can act on what God wants you to act on.
34:58And Ephesians chapter 4 verse 11 shows
35:02us clearly. Can you show us Ephesians 4
35:0411? It says, "And he gave some apostles,
35:06some pastors, some prophets, some
35:07prophets, some evangelists and some
35:09pastors and teachers for the perfecting
35:12of the saints, for the work of the
35:14ministry, for the edifying of the body
35:16of Christ." Can you show us the NLT? I'm
35:18sure it will help us. He says their
35:21responsibility is to equip God's people.
35:24You see, it's very clear. The
35:26responsibility of the pastors, prophets,
35:27teachers [music]
35:28is to equip God's people to do his work
35:31to do the gospel should do his work and
35:34build up the church, the body of Christ.
35:37Hallelujah.
35:38>> Hallelujah.
35:38>> Yes. That he wants us to equip God's
35:40people for God's people to do God's
35:43God's work. So never think that [music]
35:46um the responsibility of the ministry or
35:50the responsibility of evangelism, of
35:53disciplehip, of raising people, of
35:54[music] training people, of caring for
35:57the church is the responsibility of the
35:59pastor. No, it goes beyond that. [music]
36:02It goes beyond that. Our responsibility
36:05is to is to let is to raise you for you
36:08to do the work of the ministry. You know
36:11that thought you know is [music] from is
36:13from is not from is not from God. Let me
36:15show you some verses from the Bible
36:18in uh Revelations. [music] Can you show
36:21us Revelation chapter 2? Let me show it
36:24to you. You love this.
36:27Revelation chapter 2
36:34verse 6.
36:37Jesus is talking to the the church in
36:39Ephesus and he tells them that but this
36:42thou has that thou hatest the deeds of
36:45the Nikolitans which I also hate. Okay,
36:49thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolitans
36:51which I [music] also hate. Now when you
36:53go um all the way to same book, same
36:58chapter, but this time around um verse
37:0115, he says that so has thou also them
37:04that hold the doctrine of the Nikolitans
37:07which I hate. Okay, so in in the verse
37:11in verse [music] 6, we see uh we see it
37:14called the deeds of the Nicolitans. And
37:17then in verse um [music]
37:20verse 15 we see it called the doctrine
37:23of the nicolitans. So Jesus says I hate
37:26this particular thing. He says I hate
37:27which I which thing I hate. In both
37:29verses says I hate it. I hate it. I what
37:31is he talking about? What is
37:32Nicolitanism? We call it Nicolitanism.
37:34Nicolitanalism is [music] having the
37:37lady, okay, exalted above the the the
37:42the ordinary people, the the people who
37:44who are the clergy exalted above the
37:46lady, okay, exalting the clergy above
37:49the lady. When the clergy [music] when
37:51the pastors, okay, put themselves in a
37:54place that makes them look like they are
37:57they are the ones called to do the work
37:58of the ministry and [music] every other
38:01person should go and do every other
38:02thing. You can work anywhere else in the
38:04world. Go and get the money and bring it
38:06to the church. We will preach. We will
38:08do the work of the ministry. We will do
38:10um um um the work of God. You don't have
38:14to do anything. You should go and make
38:16money and come to bring the money to the
38:18church. We the pastors will do the work
38:20of the ministry. The Bible calls it
38:22Nicolitanism. It's from two words.
38:24Nicholas Laos. Okay. Nicholas has with
38:26being exalt exalted above the lady.
38:29Exalted above the ordinary people.
38:31>> [music]
38:31>> That's what he's talking about. You can
38:33check it in the in the in the Greek and
38:34you see it to be exalt to exalt yourself
38:37above the lady to conquer the people.
38:39God doesn't want that. Jesus says I hate
38:41it. Which thing I hate? [music] Which
38:44thing I hate. I don't know if you're
38:45seeing it. Which thing I hate? Which I
38:49[music] also hate. Then this one says
38:50which thing I hate. Jesus doesn't like
38:52it. He because that is not the way for
38:54things to be done. The body of Christ is
38:57the one that is supposed to accomplish
38:59God's [music] work. Jesus is the head of
39:01the body. It's all over in the Bible.
39:03When you read in Ephesians um [music]
39:05chapter chapter 1 verse 22, look
39:08Ephesians 1:22, it talks about Jesus
39:10being the head and we being the body.
39:12And he has put all things under his feet
39:14and gave [music] him to be the head over
39:15all things to the church. You see next
39:18verse then it says the church is his
39:20body, the fullness of him that fillth
39:22all and in all. So Jesus is the head and
39:25we are the body. Do you see [music] 1
39:28Corinthians 12 27 I always like to give
39:31a lot of scriptures so that [music] you
39:32can understand what he's saying. He says
39:34now we are the body of Christ and
39:36members in particular. All of us are the
39:38body of Christ. Then he says we are
39:40members [music] in particular. Do you
39:42see? So if the head which is Jesus is
39:46saying let's say your head is trying to
39:48tell [music] you it's time to use the
39:50bathroom. It's time to use the bathroom
39:52right now. And then your legs decide
39:54that we are not moving. We ain't moving.
39:56Your legs decide that we are not going
39:57anywhere. We enjoying the message so
39:59much. Let us sit down and enjoy the
40:01message. [music] And then your your your
40:03your bladder says that hey please we
40:06can't hold it anymore. And your legs
40:07decide that no we are not moving. The
40:10head
40:11must have the body relate and respond to
40:14what is it saying what it is demanding.
40:18You see and our Lord and Savior Jesus
40:20Christ [music] is our head. I'm going to
40:22talk about it very soon. He's our head
40:24and we are his body and the body must
40:27respond to whatever the head is saying
40:29in order to get things accomplished.
40:31Jesus who is the head of the church has
40:34accomplished his when you read in in in
40:36the in in the gospels you see how Jesus
40:38when he rose from the dead untied the
40:41napkin that was around his head and
40:43folded it nicely and placed it down and
40:45then he evaporated out of the cast.
40:47Remember they put a cast around him.
40:49They put some uh they put some emb they
40:51embalmed the body. They wrapped it in
40:53lining cloth. You see? And he was laying
40:56laying down in in the in the lining
40:57cloth. But when he rose from the dead,
41:00John and Peter went to see and they
41:02noticed that I think it's John who
41:03mentioned John. John and Peter noticed
41:05that the there was a napkin that was the
41:07napkin that was around his head was
41:08folded nicely and placed on on the on
41:11the on on one part of the the the where
41:14he was laid and his he had come out the
41:16rest of the body was lying down in the
41:19cast. What Jesus was trying to say was
41:20that as a head he's finished his work.
41:22>> Now the body we as the body must also
41:24finish our work. We must also unwrap
41:27what we have to do. Hallelujah.
41:29>> Hallelujah.
41:30>> Can you help us find that verse? John
41:3220:5 it says and verse 7. Now can we
41:35read from verse 5? I think it will be
41:36nice. He says and he and he stooping
41:38down and looking in saw the lining
41:40closed lining lying yet went he not in.
41:43Verse six. Then coming some Peter
41:45following him and went into the sea and
41:47see the lining clothes line. Next verse.
41:50And the napkin that was about his head,
41:52not lying with the lining clothes, but
41:54wrapped together in a place by itself.
41:56So he wrapped the napkin that was on his
41:58head by itself. And then the rest of the
42:00the the the thing was lying down
42:02together. He evaporated out of the cast
42:05and left it so that we you and I who had
42:07this body will do the unwrapping. The
42:10the rest of the unwrapping that is left.
42:12Paul talks about the works that are left
42:14for us to do in the body of Christ. Let
42:17me show it to you. Colossians chapter 1
42:20verse 24
42:24Paul says I now rejoice in my sufferings
42:26for you and I fill up that which is
42:28behind of the afflictions of Christ in
42:31my flesh for his body's sake which is
42:33the church can we read other versions
42:35Paul was rejoicing for ses I'm glad when
42:37I suffer for you in my body for I am
42:39participating in the sufferings of
42:40Christ that continue for his body the
42:42church you see there are sufferings that
42:44are left for us to go through Jesus did
42:46his part he wants us to go through our
42:47part
42:49in fulfilling the ministry. There's
42:51something only you can do. They are your
42:54neighbor can do it. You are the one that
42:56God has called and God has designated to
42:59accomplish a particular purpose. There
43:02are some people who never be in the
43:03house of God if they don't hear your
43:05voice. And God is going to ask you one
43:07of these days. Wow.
43:10So, it's it's something that we we we
43:14have to get involved in. Okay. And the
43:17cell ministry gives us the opportunity
43:20to fulfill the ministry of
43:22reconciliation, the ministry of bringing
43:25making disciples of the nations, [music]
43:28you know, to be done practically.
43:31Remember I said that Jesus is our head.
43:33If you read in Jude 1:4, I want to
43:36explain it some more to you. Juke 1:4
43:39he says, "For there are certain men
43:41crept in on ours who were before of old
43:43ordained to this condemnation, ungodly
43:46men, turning the grace of our God unto
43:48lasciviousness, and denying the only
43:51Lord God and our Lord Jesus Christ." You
43:54see, he says, "And denying the only Lord
43:57God." Actually, the word end is supposed
44:00to be translated [music] even. It can be
44:02translated as even. Kai, the Greek word
44:04is kai can be end or even. in this
44:07particular verse supposed to be even.
44:08Okay. So it says and denying the Lord
44:10the only Lord God even our Lord Jesus
44:13Christ. The Lord God is our Lord and
44:14Savior Jesus Christ. So denying the only
44:17Lord God even our Lord Jesus Christ. The
44:20amazing thing is that the word Lord the
44:22first Lord and the second Lord are not
44:24the same.
44:25>> The first Lord is the Greek word
44:26despotus. D E S P O T E S. [music]
44:30Despotus. And the second word Lord is
44:32curious. K U R I O U S. curious. Okay,
44:37desperatus and curious, they are two
44:38different things altogether. Let me
44:40explain it [music] to you. The word
44:42curious, that's the second one. Even our
44:45Lord Jesus Christ has to do with when
44:47you make Jesus Christ the Lord of your
44:49life. In Romans 10:9, the Bible should
44:52look at Romans 10:9. He says that if
44:54thou shall confess with thy mouth the
44:56Lord Jesus, this has to do the word Lord
44:58here is curious making Jesus the Lord of
45:01your life, the owner of your life. You
45:03see, and shall believe in thine heart
45:05that God has raised him from the dead,
45:07thou shalt be saved. This is when you
45:08become a child of God, you become a son.
45:11Okay? You become a child of God, you
45:13become a son. Apart from being children
45:15of God and being sons of God, there's
45:17also having Jesus become your boss. M
45:20>> so the other word desperatis has to do
45:22with someone who is your boss your
45:25someone who tells you what to do someone
45:27who has is like you are that's the
45:29administrative part of God's kingdom
45:31okay the the work aspect of God's
45:34kingdom the servantthood aspect of God's
45:36kingdom so even though we are sons and
45:39daughters [music] of God we are also
45:41servants of God and there are many
45:43scriptures that shows us things that
45:45comes along the lines of our sunship and
45:47things that comes along the lines of our
45:49servantthood
45:50We are we are servant sons. That's what
45:52we have become. And we you shouldn't be
45:54a Christian who who only functions as a
45:56son or a daughter of of God. Normally we
45:59the Bible calls us sons. They are no
46:01daughters of God. Is [music] sons of
46:03God. We are all male sons or female sons
46:06or we are male brides and female [music]
46:08brides.
46:09>> Hallelujah.
46:11>> Jesus God is our father and then we are
46:13all sons. If you read in um third John
46:16uh sorry 1 John 3:1 it says behold what
46:18what manner of love the father has
46:20bestowed upon [music] us that we should
46:21be called the sons of god all of us
46:23should be called the sons of god
46:24therefore the world knoweth us not
46:26because it knew him not then verse two
46:28says beloved now are we the sons of god
46:30and it does not yet appear what you
46:32shall be so this has to do with being
46:34becoming a son becoming a child of god
46:37do you see when you get born again you
46:39become a son you become a child of god
46:41and what that means is that you are
46:43accepted Ed, you are loved. God has
46:47become your father and you have become
46:49his child. You are accepted. You are
46:51loved by God. In fact, Jesus came on the
46:53air to come and introduce us to the
46:55fatherhood of God. [music] If you read
46:56in John 17 23, you see Jesus talking
46:59about how that he wants all of us to
47:01know that God loves us as much as he
47:03loves him. I in them. John 17:23.
47:05[music]
47:07I in them and thou in me. That they may
47:08be made perfect in one. And that the
47:10world may know that thou has sent me and
47:13has loved them as thou has loved me. You
47:16see, Jesus wants you to know how much
47:19the world to know how much God loves
47:21you. God loves you as a son, you see, or
47:24as a daughter as much as he is the same
47:27love he has for Jesus is the same love
47:29he has for you and I.
47:31>> Look at verse 26. It's an amazing thing.
47:33Verse 26, John 17:26, [music] it says,
47:36"And I have declared unto them thy name,
47:38and who declared that the love wherewith
47:40thou has loved me may be [music] in
47:42them, and I in them." Which name is
47:45that? The name Father. If you read, go
47:47to go to verse 11. It's it's an amazing
47:48thing. John 17:1, Jesus says, "And now I
47:52am no more in the world, but these are
47:53in the world, and I come to thee." Holy
47:55Father, keep through thine own name
47:56those whom thou has given me that they
47:58may be one as we are one. Holy father.
48:01The the name he's talking about is
48:03father. Jesus came to introduce God as
48:05father to us. And he says he wants the
48:07whole world to know that the father
48:08loves us as much as he loves he loved
48:11Jesus. Do you see? So it's very we are
48:14now sons of god. Remember I said we are
48:17either son male sons or female sons and
48:20we accepted that means that we accepted
48:22before God. We are loved. God enjoys our
48:25presence.
48:26>> God enjoys our company. In fact, God is
48:29always looking forward to hearing your
48:30voice
48:31>> every single day. That's how much God
48:32loves you.
48:34>> Let me show you some more. Go to John
48:35chapter 16 verse 23. No, verse 26.
48:42Jesus says, "At that day you shall ask
48:44in my name, and I will I say not unto
48:46you that I'll pray the father for you."
48:49Verse 27, "For the father himself loveth
48:52you."
48:52>> Hallelujah.
48:53>> Because you have loved me and have
48:54believed that I came out from God. The
48:56father himself loveth he says you will
48:58not ask me but you shall ask the father
49:00because the father loves you as much as
49:02he loves me. So the way Jesus the Jesus
49:04occupied the place of the son the way he
49:06could ask for god to do something is the
49:09same way you can ask for god to do
49:11something because we are now in some
49:12place we are now in the place of
49:14sunship. Do you see we are in the place
49:16of sunship we accepted we are seated
49:18together in heavenly places in Christ
49:20Jesus. We are accepted in the beloved
49:23and hence accepted as the beloved. Now
49:26can you show me Ephesians chapter 1 and
49:28verse 6
49:30as sons we accepted there's no problem
49:32it says to the praise of the glory of
49:34his grace wherein he has made us
49:35accepted in the beloved the one who
49:37accepted in the beloved is accepted as
49:39the beloved
49:41>> we accepted as the beloved we accepted
49:43like Jesus is accepted that's the place
49:45God has brought us to that was God's aim
49:47before the foundations of the earth to
49:49bring us to that place of sunship so as
49:51sons we have no blame go to verse four
49:54Ephesians chapter 1:4
49:55He says according as he has showing us
49:57in him before the foundation of the
49:58world that we should be holy and without
50:01blame before before him in love. [music]
50:04You see be he says we are we are to be
50:06holy. He has he has actually this is
50:08something he has done. He has presented
50:10us to him himself [music]
50:11holy and without blame before him in
50:14love. It's an amaz
50:19This has been God's aim since time
50:20[music] immemorial. Okay. It says, "For
50:22he chose us in him before the creation
50:24of the world to be holy and blameless in
50:26his sight." Then you see that there's a
50:29full stop. The in love is supposed to be
50:31part of verse 5, not verse four. So
50:33there's a full stop. Then you have in
50:36love. Go to verse five. He predestined
50:39us to be adopted as his sons.
50:41>> Hallelujah.
50:42>> Through Jesus Christ in accordance with
50:45his with his pleasure and will. So this
50:48is this was the greatest pleasure of
50:49God. The greatest pleasure of God was to
50:51bring us into the place of sunship.
50:54Okay, which is this place of Jesus
50:55Christ. So now we are seated together
50:57with him in Christ. It's an amazing
51:00thing. And hence we are accepted.
51:02There's no blame that God does not that
51:05God is not going to condemn you in any
51:06way. You accepted your path to heaven
51:09has been secured already. Your place in
51:11heaven has been secured already by the
51:13sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross.
51:16Jesus's blood is good enough. It has
51:18separated you from all sin and taken you
51:21changed you from the place moved you
51:23from the place of darkness into the
51:25place of his dear son.
51:26>> Hallelujah.
51:27>> Colossians chapter 1 verse 12. Look at
51:30Colossians 1:12. It says giving thanks
51:32unto the father which has made us
51:33partakers. It means to be partakers of
51:35the inheritance of the saints in light.
51:37Then he says in verse 13, who has
51:39delivered us from the is not going to
51:41deliver us. He says he has delivered us
51:43from the power of darkness. So you have
51:45been taken from the power of darkness,
51:46from the power of Satan and has
51:48translated us into the kingdom of his
51:49dear son. Now we are in the kingdom of
51:51his dear son and we accepted as sons,
51:54male sons, female sons and therefore
51:57there's no blame before we are not we
52:00have no blame before him. We accepted in
52:02the beloved and hence accepted as the
52:05beloved.
52:07This is when Jesus is made the curious
52:09of your life. When you make Jesus the
52:11Lord of your life, you become a son.
52:14But there's another aspect where when
52:17you you you you begin to acknowledge
52:19Jesus as your boss and accept him as
52:22your boss. You see the one I read to you
52:23in Jude 1:4 has to do with people
52:25denying. You see, he says [music] and
52:28denying the Lord, the only Lord God and
52:31our Lord Jesus Christ. You see the the
52:33word the word Lord, the first word Lord
52:35there is desperatus. [music] He says
52:36they are denying the desperatus of God,
52:38the rulership of of our Lord and Savior
52:40Jesus Christ. Do you see [music] his his
52:43influence as their boss? God has a work
52:46to be done. Jesus wants the whole world
52:48saved. God has a will. He wills that all
52:50men be saved and come to knowledge of
52:51the truth. And he has called you and I
52:54to get it done. Yet there are Christians
52:56who deny.
52:57They deny the Lord. So when it comes to
53:01that place
53:03of God, of Jesus as our desperatus, as
53:06our boss, you can be found with blame.
53:10So Paul talks about about it in 1
53:12Corinthians chapter 9 from verse 24.
53:14You'd be surprised. We must always divi
53:17rightly divide the word of truth. He
53:18says, "Know you not that they which run
53:20in a race run all, but one receiveth a
53:22prize. So run that you may obtain and
53:25every man that striketh for the mastery
53:27is temperate in all things. Now they do
53:29it to obtain a corruptible crown, but we
53:31are incorruptible. So there's a crown
53:33waiting for you. I therefore so run not
53:36as uncertainly so fight I not as one
53:38that beat the air but I keep under my
53:41body and subject and bring it into
53:43subjection lest that by any means when I
53:46are preached to others I myself should
53:48be a cast away. So Paul was concerned
53:51that he was going to become a cast away.
53:54Do you see? But not as a not as a not
53:56cast away as a Christian as a child of
53:58God but cast away as a servant of God.
54:03Do you see? We are we are sons but as
54:06servants sons are accepted. We accepted
54:08but as as servants you can be declared
54:11unfit. The word cast away is adukimos to
54:13be to be declared as unfit to inherit
54:16your crown. There's a crown that is wait
54:17there are crowns waiting for us.
54:19>> There are crowns waiting for us and you
54:21can either be accepted before the lord
54:23or not accepted before the lord. In
54:26revelations Jesus talks about how that
54:27we should. He says be careful hold fast
54:29unless someone takes away your crown.
54:32You don't want anyone taking your
54:33account. You see, look at Revelation 22
54:36um verse 12. Revelations 22:12.
54:39>> Jesus says, "Behold, I come quickly and
54:41my reward is with me to give every man
54:44according as his work shall be." So
54:47there's the aspect. You see, sunship
54:49comes by grace. Rewards comes by your
54:51work in Christ. You see your as a son,
54:55you accepted, but as a servant, there
54:57are there are rewards that the Lord is
54:59waiting to [music] give to you. You see,
55:01as a son, there's even sunship
55:02inheritance. As a son, you have an
55:05inheritance by the grace of God. So
55:07that's what we are talking about. Let me
55:08show you those verses. Okay? As a son,
55:10so as a son, you accepted, but as a
55:12servant, you can be rejected. You can be
55:14declared unfit.
55:16You can be declared unfit because you
55:18did not fulfill your ministry because
55:19you didn't do what your boss wanted to
55:21be done here on. That's why you cannot
55:24live for yourself. Paul said in 2
55:26Corinthians chapter 5:4, [music]
55:28look at 2 Corinthians 5:4. It's an
55:30amazing thing. A lot of Christians don't
55:31know this. You see, there's something
55:33called the bema seek judgment. And it
55:35has to do with being judged to receive
55:36rewards. For the love of Christ
55:38constrained us. [music] 2 Corinthians
55:405:14. For the love of Christ constrained
55:42us because we that if one died for all,
55:45then we're all dead. And that he died
55:47for that they which live should not
55:50henceforth live unto themselves. This is
55:52to every child of God. He says we should
55:53not hencefor live unto ourselves, but
55:55unto him which died for them and and
55:57rose again. We must learn to live for
56:00our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. You
56:02cannot live for yourself any longer.
56:03This is your opportunity to fulfill the
56:05ministry that God has given to you. The
56:07ministry of reconciling others, the
56:09ministry of raising others, the ministry
56:11of shephering others, the ministry of
56:12discipling others. This is your
56:14opportunity. Don't joke with it because
56:16there are rewards that are waiting for
56:18you out there. As a son, you have an
56:20inheritance. Let me show it to you. Um
56:22Romans chapter 8 verse1 17 it says and
56:26if children then hes of God and joint
56:30hes with Christ. Have you seen it?
56:32>> Yeah.
56:32>> And if children then hes of God and
56:35joint hes with Christ. Then he even
56:36qualifies this one. He says if so be
56:38that we suffer with him that we may be
56:40also we may be also glorified together.
56:42>> You see? So even though this is sunship
56:44inheritance he's saying that those who
56:45suffer with him will be glorified with
56:47him. There's something extra. Then in
56:49Galatians 4 6. Look at Galatians 4:6.
56:56He says, "And because you are sons, God
56:58has sent forth the spirit of a son into
57:00your hearts, crying, aba, father."
57:02>> Hallelujah.
57:03>> Oh, hallelujah.
57:03>> Hallelujah.
57:04>> Then the next verse 7 says, verse 7, he
57:06says that wherefore thou art no more a
57:08servant, but a serv
57:11than an heir of God through Christ. So
57:13we are hes of God. We are joint hes
57:15together with Christ. All this is on the
57:17side of sunship. [music]
57:19Then on the side of of servantship or
57:22servantthood, there's also another set
57:24of rewards altogether.
57:26>> Alltogether. And that has to do with
57:28what you [music] are doing. Go to
57:30Colossians chapter 3 23.
57:32>> Colossians 3 [music] 23 says, "And
57:34whatsoever you do, do it heartily as to
57:37the Lord and not unto men." Verse 24.
57:40Then [music] it says, "Knowing that of
57:41the Lord, you shall receive the reward
57:43of the inheritance." So there's reward
57:45of inheritance. This is not inheritance
57:48by sunship. This is inheritance by
57:50reward. Receive the reward of the
57:52inheritance for you serve the Lord
57:54Christ.
57:57Brothers and sisters, you don't want to
57:59miss out on your reward. There are
58:00crowns waiting for you. 1 Peter 5:4.
58:04Look at first Peter 5:4. There are so
58:05many verses I can quote for you. It
58:07says, "And when the chief shepherd shall
58:08appear, you shall receive a crown of
58:10glory that faded not away." This comes,
58:12this crown is for those who are into
58:14shephering, those who are into doing
58:16something, caring for someone, leading
58:18and guiding someone, feeding someone
58:20with the word of God, discipling
58:22someone, growing with someone, eating
58:24with someone, playing with someone,
58:26praying for someone, caring, visiting
58:28someone. This this is for those people.
58:31You shall receive a crown of glory
58:32[music] that fadeth not away. Let me
58:35show you one last set of verses and then
58:37I'll close. 1 Corinthians chapter 3
58:40[music] 11 Paul talks about other
58:42foundation for other foundation can no
58:44man lay than that is laid which is Jesus
58:46Christ next verse [music] then it says
58:48now if any man build upon this
58:50foundation gold silver precious stones
58:52wood haste stable every man's work shall
58:55be made manifest so whether you you know
58:56it or not you have a work you are doing
58:58something you are doing something in the
59:01house of God you are doing something
59:02with your life one day we'll stand
59:04before Jesus 2 Corinthians 5:10 talks
59:07about look at 2 Corinthians 5:10. I know
59:09I said this was my last verse, but let
59:11me show you this one.
59:11>> Sure.
59:12>> Look at it in the amplified classic. 2
59:15Corinthians 5:10. He says, "For we must
59:17all appear and be revealed as we are
59:18before the judgment seat of Christ, so
59:20that each one may receive his pay
59:23according to what he has done in the
59:25body, whether good or evil, considering
59:27what he has, what his purpose and motive
59:30have been, and what he has achieved,
59:32been busy with, and giving himself and
59:34his attention to accomplishing. God is
59:37going to reward you for what you have
59:38given yourself and your attention to
59:41accomp what you have been busy with.
59:43What have you been busy with? Have you
59:44been busy just making money in this
59:46world? Have you been busy in just moving
59:48around, feeding yourself, feeding your
59:50children, feeding your I mean doing
59:52natural things which are very important
59:54or you've also doubled up by doing his
59:57work. God is expecting us to fulfill our
59:59ministry because [music] we have a
1:00:00ministry.
1:00:01>> Hallelujah.
1:00:02>> Hallelujah.
1:00:03>> I pray for you that God will honor you.
1:00:06I pray for you that God will open your
1:00:07heart, open your mind to fulfill your
1:00:09ministry, the ministry which he has
1:00:11given to you in discipling many, in
1:00:14raising many, in shephering many. In the
1:00:16name of the Lord Jesus, receive grace to
1:00:18rise up to the call of God that he has
1:00:20given to you. In [music] the name of the
1:00:21Lord Jesus Christ, we have prayed with
