00:00:00.230 --> 00:00:03.290
So the question that is quite often asked, why are
2
00:00:03.350 --> 00:00:07.889
we here? What's all this about? What am I doing here?
3
00:00:09.230 --> 00:00:11.029
And then when we ask this question and a lot
4
00:00:11.050 --> 00:00:13.449
of time we ask this question and this question does
5
00:00:13.490 --> 00:00:16.489
not exist. This question is the wrong way to ask.
6
00:00:16.890 --> 00:00:22.170
We say, what is the purpose of my life? That's wrong.
7
00:00:23.359 --> 00:00:29.769
Because life has no demands, has no conditions. Life just gives.
8
00:00:30.370 --> 00:00:33.829
So it is the wrong question to ask. You cannot say,
9
00:00:33.890 --> 00:00:36.649
what is the purpose of my life? That's wrong. The
10
00:00:36.710 --> 00:00:40.729
correct question is, what is the purpose of my existence,
11
00:00:40.990 --> 00:00:43.960
not life? So what is the purpose of your existence?
12
00:00:45.060 --> 00:00:48.640
The purpose of your existence to live to someone else.
13
00:00:50.850 --> 00:00:54.159
Can I say it again? The purpose of your existence
14
00:00:54.740 --> 00:00:58.560
is to live for someone else's existence, not yours. So
15
00:00:58.600 --> 00:01:01.420
the reason why God brought you into existence so that
16
00:01:01.479 --> 00:01:03.780
you don't live for yourself, you live for the one
17
00:01:03.979 --> 00:01:08.579
you love. Then you are alive and now get a life.
18
00:01:14.040 --> 00:01:17.439
This evening is going to be an interesting topic, I pray.
19
00:01:17.859 --> 00:01:22.700
And we're going to be talking about what we know of,
20
00:01:23.159 --> 00:01:28.700
but maybe we don't know how these things operate and
21
00:01:28.909 --> 00:01:36.829
function with us. And that is life versus existence. Life
22
00:01:37.469 --> 00:01:42.250
versus existence. That's going to be our topic about today.
23
00:01:42.709 --> 00:01:49.549
Life versus existence. Now, The first question is, maybe somebody
24
00:01:49.569 --> 00:01:53.760
will say, well, when God came, which one did God
25
00:01:53.859 --> 00:01:58.049
create first? Was it existence or life or was it
26
00:01:58.109 --> 00:02:03.540
life and then existence? And someone might say, well, I
27
00:02:04.409 --> 00:02:07.810
can't be alive if I don't exist first. And someone
28
00:02:07.849 --> 00:02:10.270
else will come and say, but how can you live
29
00:02:10.770 --> 00:02:14.550
and be alive if you are not existent? Or how
30
00:02:14.590 --> 00:02:17.849
can you exist if you are not alive first? So
31
00:02:17.870 --> 00:02:21.909
which one did God bring? Was it existence? Did he
32
00:02:21.949 --> 00:02:27.990
create first? Or was it life? Or vice versa? To
33
00:02:28.110 --> 00:02:33.370
answer that, to answer that, We need to understand what
34
00:02:33.620 --> 00:02:38.389
is existence and we will come to that in a moment.
35
00:02:39.150 --> 00:02:42.689
But before we answer that, I'm going to actually give
36
00:02:42.729 --> 00:02:46.990
you a few questions that every one of us, you know,
37
00:02:47.189 --> 00:02:51.569
more or less, these questions go through our head and
38
00:02:51.610 --> 00:02:54.669
we think about them and we ask them and we
39
00:02:54.750 --> 00:02:59.939
question them. Number one, why did God create everything? I'm
40
00:02:59.979 --> 00:03:02.840
sure a lot of us ask this question. Why did
41
00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:09.050
He create everything? What's the point? Number two, what's depression?
42
00:03:11.310 --> 00:03:14.289
And I'm talking about the emotional depression. I'm not talking
43
00:03:14.349 --> 00:03:17.469
about the clinical side of it, but I'm talking about
44
00:03:17.490 --> 00:03:21.289
the emotional depression where at some stage in my life,
45
00:03:21.610 --> 00:03:25.430
I don't even feel like getting out of my bed.
46
00:03:26.669 --> 00:03:32.509
I feel absolutely empty. I don't feel nothing. So I
47
00:03:32.509 --> 00:03:34.710
don't want to even get up. I weigh like a
48
00:03:34.750 --> 00:03:37.870
ton of bricks. And what's the point if I get
49
00:03:37.930 --> 00:03:43.280
up and go out? And then what? What's depression? Number three,
50
00:03:44.900 --> 00:03:51.360
what's the greatest virtue of humility? Or what's the great, sorry,
51
00:03:51.620 --> 00:03:55.979
what's the great virtue of humility? What is humility? And
52
00:03:56.780 --> 00:04:02.460
when it comes to humility, we say, What am I?
53
00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:09.080
Who am I? What am I doing here? I'm absolutely nothing. Yes,
54
00:04:09.240 --> 00:04:12.770
I was nothing. I'm still nothing and I'll always be nothing.
55
00:04:13.330 --> 00:04:17.389
And some people think by referring to themselves as nothing,
56
00:04:17.889 --> 00:04:24.110
now they are humble. That's how they interpret humility. When
57
00:04:24.129 --> 00:04:29.100
I'm nothing. But are you nothing? If we are nothing
58
00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:33.180
in the sense that I am nothing, then why do
59
00:04:33.220 --> 00:04:36.959
you ask for forgiveness? What is there to forgive for
60
00:04:37.019 --> 00:04:39.850
someone who is nothing? Since you're nothing, there is nothing
61
00:04:39.889 --> 00:04:44.410
to forgive. So you stand before the Lord Jesus and
62
00:04:44.430 --> 00:04:48.509
you say, Lord, please forgive me. I'm nothing. I'm empty.
63
00:04:48.529 --> 00:04:52.290
I'm weak. I'm blind. I'm this. I'm nothing. Please forgive me.
64
00:04:52.569 --> 00:04:54.500
The Lord is going to say, well, since you're claiming
65
00:04:54.540 --> 00:04:57.519
you're nothing, why are you asking for forgiveness, my dear friend?
66
00:04:59.480 --> 00:05:04.079
You're nothing. There is nothing to forgive. So is that humility?
67
00:05:04.339 --> 00:05:10.810
Because I'm nothing? You're not nothing. You're everything. And humility
68
00:05:10.930 --> 00:05:17.430
in Christianity is foundational. The Lord Jesus, throughout the Holy Bible,
69
00:05:17.470 -->
Load full transcript
00:05:19.889
both old and new, and the Lord when He came
70
00:05:19.930 --> 00:05:23.579
in the New Testament, He called everyone to be humble.
71
00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:27.699
And the Lord Jesus said it, he who exalts himself
72
00:05:28.079 --> 00:05:32.209
shall be lowered, made humble. And he who humbles himself
73
00:05:32.629 --> 00:05:35.870
shall be exalted. The Lord called us to be humble.
74
00:05:36.410 --> 00:05:43.740
But humility, is it that I'm nothing? Number four, what
75
00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:48.560
is death? Another question. What do we mean by death?
76
00:05:50.740 --> 00:05:55.709
Guess what? A thing that is alive cannot die. And
77
00:05:55.750 --> 00:05:59.050
a thing that is dead can never live. Because these
78
00:05:59.189 --> 00:06:05.240
two are exclusive units on their own. Neither life can
79
00:06:05.269 --> 00:06:09.379
be death, nor death can be life. Neither light can
80
00:06:09.420 --> 00:06:14.339
be darkness, nor darkness can be light. So what is death?
81
00:06:15.430 --> 00:06:18.519
So is it that one day I was alive and
82
00:06:18.579 --> 00:06:22.819
tomorrow I moved on, I'm dead now, see you later.
83
00:06:23.240 --> 00:06:26.199
So is that death when I leave this world? No.
84
00:06:27.399 --> 00:06:33.250
A living thing can never die. So don't ever say
85
00:06:33.259 --> 00:06:38.209
to someone just because they came out of this realm,
86
00:06:38.470 --> 00:06:42.029
these people are dead because life can't die and death
87
00:06:42.069 --> 00:06:49.589
can't live. So what is death? Death. Another question. And
88
00:06:50.189 --> 00:06:52.750
please hold on to your seats. If you're sitting in
89
00:06:52.800 --> 00:06:57.540
a plane, the captain will say, ladies and gentlemen, please
90
00:06:57.639 --> 00:07:01.810
fasten your seatbelt quite tightly because we are going through
91
00:07:01.850 --> 00:07:05.920
some moderate turbulence. So I want you to fasten your
92
00:07:05.959 --> 00:07:11.180
seatbelts because number five question is the ultimate question where
93
00:07:11.240 --> 00:07:17.250
the greatest professors, the greatest experts in life have not
94
00:07:17.310 --> 00:07:20.829
been able to find an answer to this question. And
95
00:07:20.889 --> 00:07:28.810
that question is what is wrong with our teenagers? Why
96
00:07:28.889 --> 00:07:32.230
are they angry all the time? What's wrong with you guys?
97
00:07:33.589 --> 00:07:37.970
Why you guys are angry? What's wrong with our teenagers?
98
00:07:39.810 --> 00:07:44.490
Experts haven't found an answer to it yet. Number six.
99
00:07:47.209 --> 00:07:53.199
Why honor your mother and your father? I'll say these
100
00:07:53.220 --> 00:07:57.680
questions again. Why did God create everything? What is depression?
101
00:07:59.180 --> 00:08:02.660
What is the great virtue of humility? What is death?
102
00:08:03.920 --> 00:08:07.779
The ultimate question, what's wrong with our youth? And number six,
103
00:08:08.040 --> 00:08:13.240
why honor your mom and your dad? Now, we go
104
00:08:13.279 --> 00:08:18.100
into it now into more details. Life versus existence. This
105
00:08:18.139 --> 00:08:21.259
is our topic, don't lose track of that title. Well,
106
00:08:22.560 --> 00:08:28.089
did God create existence first or life first? So to
107
00:08:28.189 --> 00:08:31.509
answer that, we'll come to existence first. What is existence?
108
00:08:32.110 --> 00:08:38.070
Existence is every time you fill a space. Every time
109
00:08:38.090 --> 00:08:40.610
you fill a gap, every time you fill a space,
110
00:08:40.929 --> 00:08:44.049
you exist. Why do we exist? Because we have filled
111
00:08:44.129 --> 00:08:47.279
a gap. We have filled a space. When you read
112
00:08:47.320 --> 00:08:50.399
in the Gospel of John, chapter 1, it says, In
113
00:08:50.440 --> 00:08:53.299
the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God,
114
00:08:53.580 --> 00:08:57.730
and the Word was God. In Him, everything was made perfect.
115
00:08:57.929 --> 00:09:02.370
And without Him, nothing was made from what was made.
116
00:09:02.750 --> 00:09:07.940
So in other words, in Him, Jesus Christ, everything was
117
00:09:08.059 --> 00:09:12.820
made out of nothing. What was before? Space. How did
118
00:09:12.960 --> 00:09:18.940
existence come when that space was filled? Now we call
119
00:09:18.980 --> 00:09:24.039
it existence. So the definition of existence is to occupy
120
00:09:24.159 --> 00:09:28.539
space in the physical world. To occupy a space in
121
00:09:28.559 --> 00:09:33.909
the physical world. Taking up space in simple term. When
122
00:09:33.950 --> 00:09:37.409
you take up a space in simple term, you say,
123
00:09:37.610 --> 00:09:42.490
get out, I was here before. So what is existence?
124
00:09:42.950 --> 00:09:46.070
I was here before, get out. When you take up
125
00:09:46.269 --> 00:09:49.179
a physical... When you take up a space in the
126
00:09:49.240 --> 00:09:55.250
physical realm, you exist. Now, let's assume this is a book.
127
00:09:56.370 --> 00:09:58.769
When you take this book and you put it on
128
00:09:58.809 --> 00:10:03.659
the shelf... that shelf prior to this that shelf was
129
00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:07.490
empty what was there there was space on the shelf
130
00:10:07.909 --> 00:10:10.090
when I took the book and I put it on
131
00:10:10.129 --> 00:10:14.570
the shelf now this book took this space this book
132
00:10:14.669 --> 00:10:20.419
now exists on my shelf When this book took the
133
00:10:20.460 --> 00:10:25.220
space and became existent, can you now bring another book
134
00:10:25.679 --> 00:10:29.090
and put it in the same space that this original
135
00:10:29.139 --> 00:10:33.389
book took? You cannot. Because that space can only be
136
00:10:33.509 --> 00:10:37.169
filled by one thing at a time. Two things at
137
00:10:37.250 --> 00:10:43.700
the same time sharing the same space cannot exist. Are
138
00:10:43.720 --> 00:10:46.600
you with me? Because once the space is filled, you
139
00:10:46.639 --> 00:10:49.840
can't fill it again. The space is taken now. Just
140
00:10:49.879 --> 00:10:52.299
like when you go into any car park and when
141
00:10:52.340 --> 00:10:56.009
you see a space, you park your car. Once you
142
00:10:56.029 --> 00:10:58.870
park your car, can someone else come and park in
143
00:10:58.929 --> 00:11:05.330
the same spot? He will crush your car. Therefore, existence
144
00:11:05.809 --> 00:11:12.450
to be requires conditions. So existence comes with conditions, and
145
00:11:12.490 --> 00:11:15.429
please bear with me, it'll be clear as we go.
146
00:11:16.149 --> 00:11:22.289
Existence requires conditions in order for it to be and continue. Example,
147
00:11:22.889 --> 00:11:26.360
for me to exist and continue to exist, one, I
148
00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:31.580
need to eat, I need to drink, I need, very importantly,
149
00:11:31.639 --> 00:11:35.620
to breathe. Without oxygen, I can't exist. I need to
150
00:11:35.659 --> 00:11:39.399
have a shelter, a home, a house. And I need,
151
00:11:39.419 --> 00:11:46.279
that's a good one, I need friends. Mom, dad, I'm
152
00:11:46.320 --> 00:11:49.289
going out with my friends. We're just going to hang
153
00:11:49.350 --> 00:11:56.970
around Mecca's, Stockland Mall. Stop ringing me, mom. Stop nagging me, mom.
154
00:11:57.350 --> 00:12:01.230
I'm with me friends, mom. So get a life, mom.
155
00:12:02.070 --> 00:12:08.669
So existence comes with what? Conditions. Conditions. On the other hand, life,
156
00:12:08.700 --> 00:12:13.600
the topic is life versus existence. On the other hand, life,
157
00:12:14.679 --> 00:12:20.759
what is life? Life is the function that it has
158
00:12:22.200 --> 00:12:28.370
and the effect that it has on the surroundings. The
159
00:12:28.470 --> 00:12:33.070
life of a thing that exists, the life of a
160
00:12:33.129 --> 00:12:37.019
thing that exists is the function that it has and
161
00:12:37.080 --> 00:12:42.100
the effect that it has on the surrounding. Existence has conditions.
162
00:12:42.720 --> 00:12:48.840
Life of that existence is the effect and the change
163
00:12:48.919 --> 00:12:52.710
that it brings to that existence. So life came to
164
00:12:52.799 --> 00:13:02.250
change existence. Give you ideas. Fire. Fire gives warmth and
165
00:13:02.330 --> 00:13:06.929
gives light. What did fire now give? Fire gave a
166
00:13:07.090 --> 00:13:12.909
change and an effect to your existence. That is life. Water.
167
00:13:13.330 --> 00:13:18.730
Water made things to live and grow. That's an effect
168
00:13:18.909 --> 00:13:22.190
and a change to that existence. When you planted a
169
00:13:22.269 --> 00:13:26.470
seed in the ground, that seed without water couldn't have
170
00:13:26.590 --> 00:13:31.519
lived and changes happened to it. The seed became a
171
00:13:31.549 --> 00:13:34.440
stump and the stump became a flower and the flower
172
00:13:34.480 --> 00:13:38.179
gave
fruits. How did all these changes come about? Because
173
00:13:38.220 --> 00:13:44.789
of life. The seed exists, without life cannot change. If
174
00:13:44.909 --> 00:13:49.879
existence comes with conditions and without conditions cannot continue to exist,
175
00:13:50.519 --> 00:13:55.639
life on the other hand makes no demands, no conditions.
176
00:13:56.220 --> 00:14:02.100
Life just knows to give and give only. Without demand,
177
00:14:02.740 --> 00:14:08.100
without conditions. When the sun gives light and warmth, the
178
00:14:08.159 --> 00:14:12.440
sun does not expect anything in return. The sun naturally
179
00:14:12.500 --> 00:14:16.340
gives warmth and gives light. That's what it does because
180
00:14:16.580 --> 00:14:20.710
the sun is the source of life. And life demands nothing,
181
00:14:20.990 --> 00:14:25.250
requests nothing, puts no condition. The sun only knows one
182
00:14:25.269 --> 00:14:30.580
thing to do, is to give without condition. So life
183
00:14:31.299 --> 00:14:36.639
gives with no conditions. Existence cannot exist unless there are conditions.
184
00:14:39.440 --> 00:14:44.850
Very important in our life this lesson. Therefore, as long
185
00:14:45.049 --> 00:14:52.289
as you exist, you have the right to live. So
186
00:14:52.330 --> 00:14:57.070
God brought existence first in order to give it life.
187
00:14:57.929 --> 00:15:02.500
As long as you exist, you have the right to live.
188
00:15:04.639 --> 00:15:14.460
But existence has conditions. Life, no conditions. Sometimes my existence
189
00:15:15.399 --> 00:15:22.519
and my life don't go hand in hand. Sometimes my
190
00:15:22.600 --> 00:15:27.620
existence and my life, there are frictions between them. They
191
00:15:27.940 --> 00:15:32.610
are not living harmoniously. They are not living in unity
192
00:15:33.090 --> 00:15:38.210
and peace. Because sometimes what is good for my existence
193
00:15:39.110 --> 00:15:41.860
may not be good for my life. And what is
194
00:15:41.919 --> 00:15:45.559
good for my life may not be good for my existence.
195
00:15:46.649 --> 00:15:52.929
And this is the reason why we are depressed. That's
196
00:15:52.950 --> 00:16:01.870
the next question. What is depression? Depression is a result
197
00:16:01.970 --> 00:16:07.470
of a clash between my existence and my life. When
198
00:16:07.509 --> 00:16:11.909
they don't go hand in hand, I'm depressed. My soul
199
00:16:11.929 --> 00:16:21.019
is alive. but it's barely existent. My body exists, but
200
00:16:21.090 --> 00:16:27.990
it's barely alive. My soul is alive, but it's barely existent.
201
00:16:28.610 --> 00:16:33.629
My body, on the other hand, is 100% in existence,
202
00:16:34.029 --> 00:16:38.149
but it's barely alive. You see, the body exists, but
203
00:16:38.190 --> 00:16:43.480
the soul lives. But for the body to exist and continue,
204
00:16:43.879 --> 00:16:47.200
he needs a soul. Because the soul gives that life.
205
00:16:47.580 --> 00:16:50.779
But for
the life to continue as a soul, it
206
00:16:51.179 --> 00:16:55.519
needs a body. These two, when they don't live together
207
00:16:55.740 --> 00:17:01.250
in peace, the person ends up being depressed. And I'll
208
00:17:01.269 --> 00:17:06.950
explain it why. We need to try, at least, to bring...
209
00:17:07.799 --> 00:17:11.619
my body and my soul, my existence and my life
210
00:17:12.099 --> 00:17:17.140
to live in harmony. Let's take an example of marriage.
211
00:17:17.180 --> 00:17:21.269
How many of us here are married? Show of hands. Yeah,
212
00:17:21.930 --> 00:17:26.910
quite a number. Are you ready? Those who are married,
213
00:17:26.990 --> 00:17:29.789
it's kind of too late. You're already married. But those
214
00:17:29.829 --> 00:17:32.880
who are engaged and looking to be married, it's a
215
00:17:32.910 --> 00:17:36.680
good time for you, brother. It's not too late yet. Now,
216
00:17:38.490 --> 00:17:43.410
Listen to this very important message. I believe anyway, and
217
00:17:43.430 --> 00:17:47.519
I hope the same with you. The lesser you exist,
218
00:17:48.900 --> 00:17:54.230
the more you are alive. The lesser you exist, the
219
00:17:54.269 --> 00:17:58.029
more you are alive. The more you exist, the lesser
220
00:17:58.069 --> 00:18:05.220
you live. In marriage, Why do we have conflicts? Why
221
00:18:05.240 --> 00:18:09.460
do we have arguments? Why do we have quarreling and
222
00:18:09.579 --> 00:18:13.769
fighting between husband and wife and wife and husband? You did,
223
00:18:14.029 --> 00:18:16.029
you said, no, no, no, it's you, it's your fault.
224
00:18:17.069 --> 00:18:21.269
And then there is the World War III erupting. Why?
225
00:18:21.910 --> 00:18:27.029
Because when husband and wife, when both of them are
226
00:18:27.869 --> 00:18:32.490
searching for their own existence, there is no life between them.
227
00:18:35.529 --> 00:18:39.470
What do I mean by existence? What is my existence?
228
00:18:40.019 --> 00:18:45.170
The word simply is me. When I say me, when
229
00:18:45.210 --> 00:18:48.880
I say I am, when I say my way, this
230
00:18:49.180 --> 00:18:53.119
is my existence. What is my existence? The word I am.
231
00:18:55.559 --> 00:18:59.880
Listen mate, it's either my way or you hit the highway.
232
00:19:02.019 --> 00:19:05.220
And I'm not gonna listen, there is no compromises. You
233
00:19:05.380 --> 00:19:09.559
either do it or get out of my face. When
234
00:19:09.799 --> 00:19:14.980
the husband is seeking his way, he is seeking his existence.
235
00:19:16.009 --> 00:19:18.650
He is trying to establish it. He is trying to
236
00:19:18.710 --> 00:19:22.750
reinforce it. He is trying to impose it. And when
237
00:19:22.809 --> 00:19:25.829
the wife is doing the same thing, what's going to happen?
238
00:19:26.210 --> 00:19:31.480
Two existence cannot be sharing the same space. Because once
239
00:19:31.539 --> 00:19:34.400
you fill the gap, the gap is for one. Once
240
00:19:34.480 --> 00:19:37.660
it's filled, another one can't fill the same gap. So
241
00:19:37.700 --> 00:19:40.740
when you try to come and fill the gap, what's happening?
242
00:19:41.240 --> 00:19:45.490
Eruption happens, a nuclear weapon, and it's World War III.
243
00:19:45.869 --> 00:19:49.990
The husband and wife are fighting. Why? Because each one...
244
00:19:50.039 --> 00:19:54.680
is trying to seek their own existence and do things
245
00:19:54.740 --> 00:20:01.259
their way. Their way will be no way. The more
246
00:20:01.299 --> 00:20:07.319
you exist, the less you're alive. And the less you exist,
247
00:20:07.539 --> 00:20:11.650
the more you are alive. Do you wanna live or die?
248
00:20:12.000 --> 00:20:16.940
So what is death? Death is when you are in
249
00:20:17.059 --> 00:20:21.450
search of your own existence. When you wanna do things
250
00:20:21.769 --> 00:20:26.049
your way. when you are stubborn about it, when mom
251
00:20:26.309 --> 00:20:29.130
and dad and the bishop and the priest and the
252
00:20:29.170 --> 00:20:31.970
whole world come to you and say, please don't go there.
253
00:20:32.289 --> 00:20:35.940
Please don't do this. Please don't say this. Please don't
254
00:20:36.000 --> 00:20:39.339
live this way. And you insist and say, no, I'm
255
00:20:39.420 --> 00:20:42.559
doing it my way. This is Australia. This is the
256
00:20:42.700 --> 00:20:46.329
21st century. It's a free country. I'll do whatever I want.
257
00:20:46.670 --> 00:20:49.950
I'm 16 plus. No one on the face of this
258
00:20:50.069 --> 00:20:52.990
planet dare to tell me what to do it's my
259
00:20:53.089 --> 00:20:57.880
way and it's it when you live this way you
260
00:20:58.400 --> 00:21:05.339
have just killed yourself you're dead because you've seeked your
261
00:21:05.380 --> 00:21:12.890
existence I'm dead when the husband and the wife if
262
00:21:12.970 --> 00:21:19.750
both parties live for the other person there is no
263
00:21:19.769 --> 00:21:28.039
problem If you live for yourself, you'll always fight. And
264
00:21:28.079 --> 00:21:32.240
there will be never the end to it. No matter what.
265
00:21:34.539 --> 00:21:42.049
Because you're trying to force something that never ever existed.
266
00:21:44.170 --> 00:21:48.690
It's only an imagination. Existence, we said, takes up space.
267
00:21:51.130 --> 00:22:00.099
And therefore... existence is embarrassing, existence is childish. What do
268
00:22:00.119 --> 00:22:06.539
I mean by that? Existence alone is embarrassing, existence alone
269
00:22:06.759 --> 00:22:11.880
is foolishness, childish. Actually this morning I was touching base
270
00:22:11.960 --> 00:22:18.250
on this. Imagine Well, it's not an imagination. I am
271
00:22:18.269 --> 00:22:23.650
a bishop, so there's no imagination here. But this bishop, imagine,
272
00:22:23.990 --> 00:22:27.599
is in this church by himself. The whole church is
273
00:22:27.619 --> 00:22:34.000
for him. Now, I occupy this whole space. And I've
274
00:22:34.039 --> 00:22:37.579
got plenty of space to breathe, to do whatever I want.
275
00:22:37.759 --> 00:22:40.569
I can go, I can run, I can jump. I
276
00:22:41.029 --> 00:22:44.250
can do whatever I want because the whole space is mine. But...
277
00:22:47.710 --> 00:22:51.049
This is my existence. I'm in this church, therefore I
278
00:22:51.109 --> 00:22:55.210
exist because I've filled this space. Imagine, because I exist,
279
00:22:55.569 --> 00:22:58.839
but at the same time, I'm alone. I'm by myself
280
00:22:58.890 --> 00:23:02.819
in this old church. And then I stand and start preaching.
281
00:23:03.460 --> 00:23:06.480
Who am I preaching to? I'll be preaching to the walls.
282
00:23:07.140 --> 00:23:15.460
Isn't that childish? Isn't that foolish? Isn't that nonsense? And
283
00:23:15.519 --> 00:23:20.349
then you come. And then you fill the gap that
284
00:23:20.369 --> 00:23:27.789
I once preoccupied. Now, it's cramped. I feel kind of
285
00:23:27.849 --> 00:23:31.269
tight now. I feel kind of uncomfortable now because you
286
00:23:31.289 --> 00:23:36.210
took the space that I once occupied. But guess what?
287
00:23:37.049 --> 00:23:42.299
Even though I became... Kind of tight, kind of uncomfortable.
288
00:23:42.819 --> 00:23:47.549
Someone is invading my space, as they say. Someone is
289
00:23:47.630 --> 00:23:51.589
coming into my territory. But I was glad that you
290
00:23:51.650 --> 00:23:59.910
came because without you, I'm nothing. So what I'm a bishop?
291
00:24:01.970 --> 00:24:06.259
As long as I exist, I'm nothing. Because my existence
292
00:24:06.299 --> 00:24:09.519
means it's only me. And only me, what am I
293
00:24:09.559 --> 00:24:11.890
going to do with me? I'll talk to walls, I'll
294
00:24:11.910 --> 00:24:14.609
go crazy, I'll go nuts. And if you see someone
295
00:24:14.670 --> 00:24:19.440
talking to himself, they'll say, some of these cables are...
296
00:24:22.690 --> 00:24:26.650
But when you came and occupied this space with me,
297
00:24:26.970 --> 00:24:31.109
I was glad. Why? Because your presence gave meaning to
298
00:24:31.150 --> 00:24:36.539
my existence, to my value. Now when I preach, I'm
299
00:24:36.599 --> 00:24:42.500
preaching to you. And this has meaning to it. There
300
00:24:42.559 --> 00:24:46.200
is morals to it. There is value to it. A
301
00:24:46.259 --> 00:24:50.529
guy comes, he says, father, you know, I don't know
302
00:24:50.549 --> 00:24:52.710
what I do with this, you know, like I'm alone.
303
00:24:54.049 --> 00:24:59.609
It's boring. I want to get married. I want to
304
00:24:59.890 --> 00:25:03.500
establish a family. I want to settle down. I don't
305
00:25:03.519 --> 00:25:06.579
want to be this crazy guy going and jumping. And
306
00:25:06.640 --> 00:25:09.480
I've been with me mates for all these years, mate.
307
00:25:09.859 --> 00:25:15.390
But I got to change. I got to change. So
308
00:25:15.430 --> 00:25:18.400
you're alone, you've got all the space for yourself. You
309
00:25:18.420 --> 00:25:21.180
go out whenever you want, you come in whenever you want,
310
00:25:21.440 --> 00:25:24.420
you do things your way. You're alone, you're free, you
311
00:25:24.460 --> 00:25:27.259
can do it. But then that does not give you happiness.
312
00:25:27.619 --> 00:25:30.720
I'm alone, I need a partner. You find a partner,
313
00:25:31.519 --> 00:25:38.509
and now you're fighting. Which one? Here I'm free, but
314
00:25:38.529 --> 00:25:44.430
I'm not happy. Here, I'm finding my happiness, but I'm miserably...
315
00:25:44.950 --> 00:25:50.309
angry and fighting all the time. Existence only will give
316
00:25:50.329 --> 00:25:57.410
you depression. I exist and because I exist, I'm depressed.
317
00:25:58.480 --> 00:26:01.380
And for as long as I exist for myself, I'll
318
00:26:01.420 --> 00:26:06.680
always be depressed emotionally. And this is exactly the reason
319
00:26:06.759 --> 00:26:10.140
why sometimes I don't want to get out of my bed.
320
00:26:12.569 --> 00:26:16.089
What's the point? I got up and I washed my
321
00:26:16.150 --> 00:26:19.730
face and I ate and I drank and then what?
322
00:26:20.049 --> 00:26:22.029
And then I went out and then what? And I
323
00:26:22.069 --> 00:26:24.130
talked to my friends and then what? And I went
324
00:26:24.170 --> 00:26:26.170
to watch the movie and then what? And I came
325
00:26:26.210 --> 00:26:31.779
back and I'm still miserably depressed because depression is the
326
00:26:31.819 --> 00:26:37.750
result of me searching for my existence. And the more
327
00:26:37.829 --> 00:26:42.029
you put an effort to find your existence and to
328
00:26:42.170 --> 00:26:45.690
impose your existence, the heavier the load will get on you.
329
00:26:46.049 --> 00:26:48.410
And the heavier the load, the more depressed you are.
330
00:26:49.950 --> 00:26:54.210
So to get away from depression and to abolish depression
331
00:26:54.230 --> 00:26:59.750
in your life, stop searching for your existence. Stop doing
332
00:26:59.970 --> 00:27:05.009
things your way. Stop saying, me, me, me, me. Stop,
333
00:27:05.210 --> 00:27:10.460
let go of you and live for a change. So
334
00:27:10.500 --> 00:27:16.960
what's the solution to depression? How are you? Not good.
335
00:27:17.829 --> 00:27:20.349
What are you doing? Nothing. Do you want to go out?
336
00:27:20.710 --> 00:27:23.190
What's the point? Do you want to eat? Nah. Do
337
00:27:25.269 --> 00:27:28.970
you want to go to church? No. Do you want
338
00:27:28.990 --> 00:27:32.039
to sing? Shut up. What do you want to do?
339
00:27:32.319 --> 00:27:36.059
I don't know. Leave me alone. So what's the solution
340
00:27:36.759 --> 00:27:40.000
out of this depression? You know, there is a word,
341
00:27:40.400 --> 00:27:46.529
we use it sometimes. Get a life. Have you ever
342
00:27:46.569 --> 00:27:49.849
said it to someone? Get a life, will you? You've
343
00:27:49.890 --> 00:27:56.220
said it in a sarcastic way.
Like, You said it
344
00:27:56.240 --> 00:27:58.849
in a kind of funny way. Just get a life, mate.
345
00:27:59.730 --> 00:28:05.250
But did you know it's a true statement? Now you're
346
00:28:05.329 --> 00:28:07.930
speaking the truth now. Now you are really telling the truth.
347
00:28:08.269 --> 00:28:11.809
When you say to someone, get a life, that's exactly
348
00:28:12.049 --> 00:28:15.450
the whole point. Everyone needs to get a life. But
349
00:28:15.529 --> 00:28:17.430
not in the way that you said it, in a
350
00:28:17.490 --> 00:28:21.509
sarcastic way. But really, this is the right way everybody
351
00:28:21.569 --> 00:28:24.809
should be saying to each other, get a life, get
352
00:28:24.849 --> 00:28:30.940
a life. So let's get a life. Stop worrying about
353
00:28:31.049 --> 00:28:36.630
your own existence. Start worrying about someone else's existence. You
354
00:28:36.650 --> 00:28:40.210
want to get a life? Stop worrying about yourself. Start
355
00:28:40.289 --> 00:28:43.009
worrying about someone else. Then you will get a life.
356
00:28:43.869 --> 00:28:47.650
If the husband worried about the existence of his wife,
357
00:28:48.119 --> 00:28:51.160
and if the wife worried about the existence of her husband,
358
00:28:51.579 --> 00:28:55.240
they both got a life. And when you get a life...
359
00:28:56.019 --> 00:29:00.299
You can never die. So what is death when I exist?
360
00:29:01.160 --> 00:29:06.480
What is life when I don't exist? I live for
361
00:29:06.500 --> 00:29:13.490
the existence of the one I love. If everyone asked
362
00:29:13.529 --> 00:29:17.490
the Lord Jesus to help them to live for the
363
00:29:17.549 --> 00:29:21.710
existence of their partner, everybody would have got a life.
364
00:29:23.849 --> 00:29:28.059
So please increase this word between each other. Get alive,
365
00:29:28.460 --> 00:29:34.000
get alive, get alive. Stop existing, get alive. So what
366
00:29:34.059 --> 00:29:39.970
is the life? A life is what makes the difference.
367
00:29:40.869 --> 00:29:48.319
Life contributes. Life does not take, life gives. Existence takes,
368
00:29:48.839 --> 00:29:52.099
never gives. Now the other question that we asked earlier,
369
00:29:52.920 --> 00:29:57.490
what is humility? When you say you're nothing... In a
370
00:29:57.569 --> 00:30:01.410
way that your life is meaningless. There is no meaning
371
00:30:01.450 --> 00:30:05.029
to all this. I can tell you this. A moment
372
00:30:05.210 --> 00:30:13.130
of your life is of infinite value to eternity. A
373
00:30:13.299 --> 00:30:17.660
moment of your life is of infinite value to eternity.
374
00:30:18.000 --> 00:30:22.000
Your life is so precious. Your life is so valuable.
375
00:30:22.380 --> 00:30:25.599
It is beyond any measures that you could think of.
376
00:30:26.700 --> 00:30:29.789
Don't ever say, what kind of a life is this?
377
00:30:30.380 --> 00:30:39.470
Life is absolute precious. Therefore, my beloved, existence is embarrassing
378
00:30:39.950 --> 00:30:45.309
because when I think about myself, this is embarrassing, this
379
00:30:45.390 --> 00:30:49.680
is childish. What do children do? What do children do?
380
00:30:50.019 --> 00:30:54.359
They fight so they can take their own space. This
381
00:30:54.460 --> 00:31:00.079
is my room. Girls, sisters at home. The sister comes
382
00:31:00.140 --> 00:31:03.480
into the other sister's room. It's World War III. How
383
00:31:03.559 --> 00:31:06.319
dare you come into my room? You are rude. You
384
00:31:06.339 --> 00:31:08.849
don't even knock at the door. You come into my room.
385
00:31:09.180 --> 00:31:13.890
Why we're fighting? Because you came to invade my existence,
386
00:31:14.049 --> 00:31:18.309
my space that I occupy. How dare you invade my existence?
387
00:31:18.710 --> 00:31:23.200
This is childish, like little kids fighting over a toy.
388
00:31:23.500 --> 00:31:27.259
It's mine. It's yours. It's mine. It's not. And when
389
00:31:27.279 --> 00:31:29.400
you look at the kids, what do you do? You laugh.
390
00:31:30.400 --> 00:31:33.839
You say, oh, that's very childish. But don't we act
391
00:31:34.119 --> 00:31:36.859
like those little kids? A lot of times we do.
392
00:31:37.359 --> 00:31:39.680
So if you want to laugh next time, laugh at yourself.
393
00:31:40.279 --> 00:31:43.180
And say to yourself, am I a little kid when
394
00:31:43.339 --> 00:31:50.690
I fight over things? That's childish. Childish. This is my laptop.
395
00:31:51.069 --> 00:31:54.839
This is my iPad. This is my mascara, piscara. This
396
00:31:54.920 --> 00:31:57.599
is my Chanel. This is my I don't know what.
397
00:31:57.880 --> 00:32:01.160
This is my car. This is my dress. These are
398
00:32:01.180 --> 00:32:07.099
my shoes. You wear them, I smack you. Isn't that childish?
399
00:32:07.700 --> 00:32:12.210
Existence is embarrassing. You're making a fool of yourself if
400
00:32:12.250 --> 00:32:15.410
you're seeking your existence. You're acting like a little kid,
401
00:32:15.670 --> 00:32:18.750
yet you're a grown up. Grow up and get a life.
402
00:32:21.230 --> 00:32:24.119
So let's get a life. Forget about your room. When
403
00:32:24.140 --> 00:32:27.960
your sister comes, say, Sis, this is your room before
404
00:32:28.000 --> 00:32:33.480
it's mine, Habibi. Sis, when I bought this Chanel, I
405
00:32:33.529 --> 00:32:40.009
thought of you. Liar. Sis, can I borrow your car?
406
00:32:41.630 --> 00:32:45.319
Do you need to ask? Are you serious? This is
407
00:32:45.359 --> 00:32:52.349
your car, baby. Take it. Now this is a life. Wow.
408
00:32:53.019 --> 00:32:56.519
Everyone is happy. The one who gives is happy and
409
00:32:56.559 --> 00:32:59.259
the one who receives is happy. And the next time
410
00:32:59.539 --> 00:33:01.799
what you gave is going to come back to you.
411
00:33:02.599 --> 00:33:05.470
Just like you gave your car, your sister one day
412
00:33:06.170 --> 00:33:10.369
will give you her car when you
need it. Your
413
00:33:10.430 --> 00:33:12.730
sister will give you the Chanel that she borrowed of
414
00:33:12.750 --> 00:33:16.529
you the last time. And sharing and caring is a
415
00:33:16.569 --> 00:33:21.789
beautiful life. But being selfish is absolute death. And it
416
00:33:21.849 --> 00:33:27.490
makes no sense for you to die. For what? It's childish.
417
00:33:29.339 --> 00:33:38.660
Stop living for yourself. Stop exist. Stop it. Let go
418
00:33:38.819 --> 00:33:43.359
of yourself and of your egos. This is the reason
419
00:33:44.440 --> 00:33:50.019
why our teenagers are always angry. What's wrong with you guys?
420
00:33:51.319 --> 00:33:58.470
Why our youth, always on like ready to attack. They
421
00:33:58.490 --> 00:34:01.789
want to pull the sword. Relax brother, what's wrong with you?
422
00:34:01.829 --> 00:34:07.329
Why you're on the edge all the time? Aha, aha.
423
00:34:08.920 --> 00:34:14.889
And especially the teenagers are always angry with their parents. Especially.
424
00:34:15.969 --> 00:34:19.789
Not so much with their friends, but with their parents.
425
00:34:22.269 --> 00:34:28.469
It's like Bruce Lee, karate. Mom talks, blood pressure goes up.
426
00:34:29.929 --> 00:34:34.119
I was fine until my mom opened her mouth. I
427
00:34:34.159 --> 00:34:38.800
was doing okay until my mom spoke. I was fine
428
00:34:38.920 --> 00:34:43.460
until my dad spoke. I was fine until my parents spoke.
429
00:34:43.949 --> 00:34:49.190
Why are you guys angry? Because kids, the reason why
430
00:34:49.230 --> 00:34:54.769
they are angry, because the children are always living to exist.
431
00:34:57.070 --> 00:35:01.679
They are seeking their own existence. That's why they're angry.
432
00:35:02.539 --> 00:35:07.659
You say as a daughter, you say, mom always tries
433
00:35:07.780 --> 00:35:12.250
to ruin my life. Don't you say that? Mom, you're
434
00:35:12.269 --> 00:35:15.190
ruining my life. You're ruining my day. I was fine.
435
00:35:15.210 --> 00:35:17.590
You came and just you spoiled it all. And the
436
00:35:17.630 --> 00:35:22.610
son says, I wish my dad never spoke. Every time
437
00:35:22.670 --> 00:35:25.230
I want to go out, where are you going? When
438
00:35:25.250 --> 00:35:27.090
are you coming back? What are you going to do?
439
00:35:27.110 --> 00:35:30.460
Who are you meeting? He is ruining my life. Dad,
440
00:35:30.900 --> 00:35:33.130
I'm getting out of your way. I'm going to find
441
00:35:33.170 --> 00:35:36.929
my own life. You know, in that parable of the
442
00:35:36.989 --> 00:35:39.969
prodigal son, where the Lord Jesus gave it in Luke
443
00:35:39.989 --> 00:35:44.250
chapter 15, this son, the younger son, was living with
444
00:35:44.289 --> 00:35:49.079
his dad. He's living absolutely luxurious lifestyle. But one day came,
445
00:35:49.139 --> 00:35:51.619
this son said to his dad, he said, dad, you know,
446
00:35:51.639 --> 00:35:54.619
you're a beautiful dad. You give me everything. You buy
447
00:35:54.659 --> 00:35:58.300
me everything. You spoil me too much money, things, gift, left, right,
448
00:35:58.320 --> 00:36:01.500
and center. But you know what, dad? you don't let
449
00:36:01.579 --> 00:36:04.239
me have a life so I'm gonna leave you I'm
450
00:36:04.260 --> 00:36:07.340
gonna leave your home because I wanna live for a
451
00:36:07.389 --> 00:36:13.590
change but the problem again with this question or with
452
00:36:13.630 --> 00:36:17.489
this statement the whole statement is wrong your mom is
453
00:36:17.570 --> 00:36:21.289
not ruining your life your mom is ruining your existence
454
00:36:22.409 --> 00:36:28.800
not your life because mom is interfering with my space
455
00:36:31.159 --> 00:36:35.489
Because mom, why would mom want to destroy your life?
456
00:36:36.030 --> 00:36:39.110
She gave birth to you. She gave you that life.
457
00:36:39.550 --> 00:36:43.230
It is absolutely makes no sense for mom who gave
458
00:36:43.289 --> 00:36:45.530
that life to you to come back and take it
459
00:36:45.570 --> 00:36:48.780
away from you. Why would she do that? Doesn't make sense.
460
00:36:50.869 --> 00:36:57.980
Mom cannot ruin life because life can never be ruined.
461
00:36:58.420 --> 00:37:02.199
Life can only live. No one can take it. No
462
00:37:02.320 --> 00:37:05.380
one can change it. No one can stop it because
463
00:37:05.440 --> 00:37:08.199
the one who gave this life is God. And what
464
00:37:08.239 --> 00:37:12.639
God gives, no one can take away. So mom can't
465
00:37:12.679 --> 00:37:16.099
kill life because life can never die and death can
466
00:37:16.139 --> 00:37:20.500
never live. So mom can't ruin, mom can't kill life
467
00:37:20.699 --> 00:37:26.190
because life only knows to live and to give. So therefore,
468
00:37:27.329 --> 00:37:29.469
mom is getting on my nerves because she is ruining
469
00:37:29.530 --> 00:37:36.170
my space, my existence. Mom walks into your room. Daughter,
470
00:37:37.369 --> 00:37:41.590
come with me. Mom, listen, get out of my room.
471
00:37:42.949 --> 00:37:45.929
Excuse me, what did you say? You heard me, mom.
472
00:37:46.289 --> 00:37:51.650
Get out of my room. Mom and dad, both parents,
473
00:37:53.030 --> 00:37:55.280
mom and dad will come back to you and say,
474
00:37:56.280 --> 00:37:59.960
excuse me, this is not your room. This is my
475
00:38:00.019 --> 00:38:04.960
room because you are living in my house. And for
476
00:38:05.000 --> 00:38:07.280
as long as you live in my house, you do
477
00:38:07.340 --> 00:38:12.809
it my way. So, mom and dad, it is natural
478
00:38:12.889 --> 00:38:17.210
for them to invade your space because your space is
479
00:38:17.269 --> 00:38:21.570
never yours, never was, never will be. That space is
480
00:38:21.730 --> 00:38:25.179
always the parents because you live in their house, they
481
00:38:25.219 --> 00:38:30.800
don't live in your house. Do you see why we fight?
482
00:38:32.119 --> 00:38:35.409
And we say
the wrong things. So I'm trying to
483
00:38:35.469 --> 00:38:38.570
say to my mom, this is my room, meaning I'm
484
00:38:38.670 --> 00:38:41.909
occupying this space, meaning I exist here, so get out
485
00:38:41.949 --> 00:38:44.710
of my sight, because I am here first, so you
486
00:38:44.750 --> 00:38:46.789
can't be here. I was here first, so get out
487
00:38:46.809 --> 00:38:49.130
of my room. But that room is not yours. The
488
00:38:49.170 --> 00:38:52.730
house is the mom's and the dad's. The space is theirs.
489
00:38:53.010 --> 00:38:56.449
The existence is theirs. You are living in their existence.
490
00:38:56.769 --> 00:39:00.489
And when you challenge their existence, you're asking for trouble.
491
00:39:01.449 --> 00:39:04.380
So mom will say, For as long as you live
492
00:39:04.460 --> 00:39:07.840
in my house, you'll do it my way. And you
493
00:39:07.880 --> 00:39:11.280
better be nice to me for me in order for
494
00:39:11.320 --> 00:39:14.929
me to think about letting you sleep in my room.
495
00:39:16.269 --> 00:39:22.590
Are you with me? Parents have the right to be parents.
496
00:39:24.449 --> 00:39:30.219
So when children are saying to their parents, get out
497
00:39:30.239 --> 00:39:34.659
of my sight, they are saying, we exist without you.
498
00:39:35.300 --> 00:39:40.239
This never was, never is, never will be. Because the
499
00:39:40.380 --> 00:39:44.449
existence of the kids are the parents. And this is
500
00:39:44.510 --> 00:39:51.719
what happens. What is death? is when I deny my existence.
501
00:39:53.639 --> 00:39:59.949
In other words, who is my existence? My parents. That's
502
00:40:00.030 --> 00:40:05.489
why the Lord God said, honor your mother and father.
503
00:40:07.230 --> 00:40:12.139
You'll come to this statement and you'll say, and parents
504
00:40:12.280 --> 00:40:18.010
always smack you with this. Jesus said, honor your mom
505
00:40:18.050 --> 00:40:23.050
and dad. Remember this, okay? And when you don't honor me,
506
00:40:23.090 --> 00:40:26.969
what's going to happen? The Lord God says, honor your
507
00:40:27.050 --> 00:40:30.920
mom and dad so that I can give you a life.
508
00:40:34.719 --> 00:40:39.110
Have you ever noticed what the Lord God says? Honor
509
00:40:39.150 --> 00:40:41.829
your mom and dad so that I can give you
510
00:40:42.239 --> 00:40:45.699
an abundant life and a long one. The more you
511
00:40:45.800 --> 00:40:49.539
honor them, the more you will live. You don't honor them,
512
00:40:50.099 --> 00:40:54.800
I'll take that life away. Why? Because the only way
513
00:40:54.920 --> 00:40:58.119
for you to live is to deny your existence. When
514
00:40:58.159 --> 00:41:02.260
you deny your existence, then who is truly your existence?
515
00:41:02.519 --> 00:41:08.730
Your parents. They are truly your existence. Because they are
516
00:41:08.809 --> 00:41:11.940
the reason for you to come. The reason for you
517
00:41:12.000 --> 00:41:14.940
to be alive because they
became your existence. They gave
518
00:41:15.079 --> 00:41:18.039
life to you. They gave birth to you. And when
519
00:41:18.079 --> 00:41:20.320
they gave birth to you, they gave you life. And
520
00:41:20.380 --> 00:41:23.179
the reason why you were alive because they were your existence.
521
00:41:23.579 --> 00:41:28.550
The moment you challenge this existence, you're dead. Yes? So
522
00:41:28.639 --> 00:41:32.110
honoring mom and dad is not like, do I really
523
00:41:32.130 --> 00:41:36.090
have to do this? Life would have been much better
524
00:41:36.130 --> 00:41:39.980
without the hassle of, yes mom, yes dad. I don't
525
00:41:40.000 --> 00:41:42.239
want to say, I don't want to be Mr. Yes.
526
00:41:45.440 --> 00:41:47.139
I want to do it a different way. But the
527
00:41:47.199 --> 00:41:48.960
question will come back to you and haunt you. Do
528
00:41:49.000 --> 00:41:51.800
you want to live? If you say yes, then you
529
00:41:51.840 --> 00:41:55.309
have to acknowledge your existence, which is your parents. Because
530
00:41:55.349 --> 00:42:00.739
without them, you wouldn't have existed. So who is your existence?
531
00:42:00.760 --> 00:42:04.019
Your parents. And because they are your existence, and as
532
00:42:04.139 --> 00:42:07.599
long as they are your existence, you're alive. The moment
533
00:42:07.699 --> 00:42:15.380
you find your own existence, you can't be alive, you're dead. Now,
534
00:42:17.260 --> 00:42:24.409
who is our ultimate existence? God. Who is the ultimate
535
00:42:24.530 --> 00:42:29.360
parent to us? God. And the reason why the Lord
536
00:42:29.429 --> 00:42:33.139
God gave this commandment and said respect your mom and dad.
537
00:42:35.280 --> 00:42:38.480
Why didn't he say respect your wife? So I can
538
00:42:38.519 --> 00:42:40.739
bless you and give you a life. Why didn't he
539
00:42:40.800 --> 00:42:43.980
say respect your husband? Why didn't he say respect your bishop?
540
00:42:44.199 --> 00:42:47.800
He said respect mom and dad. Why? Because God is
541
00:42:47.820 --> 00:42:53.760
the mother and the father and with all that it
542
00:42:53.820 --> 00:42:57.099
carries with it. The disciples came to the Lord Jesus,
543
00:42:57.579 --> 00:43:01.099
and they said, Lord, teach us how to pray. He said,
544
00:43:01.280 --> 00:43:04.260
every time you pray, you say, our Father who art
545
00:43:04.320 --> 00:43:07.920
in heaven. So what is God? My dad. And in
546
00:43:07.960 --> 00:43:11.059
the book of Isaiah, the Lord God says, if the
547
00:43:11.179 --> 00:43:16.239
mother forgets to breastfeed her own baby, I, the Lord God,
548
00:43:16.280 --> 00:43:19.199
will never forget you. How is he representing himself here?
549
00:43:19.510 --> 00:43:22.710
As the mother. So God is the father and God
550
00:43:22.769 --> 00:43:25.630
is the mother. He is the provider, He is the protector.
551
00:43:26.389 --> 00:43:32.760
The father protects, the mother provides. So he is the
552
00:43:32.900 -->
00:43:37.000
ultimate parents, both father and mother. And that's why he
553
00:43:37.119 --> 00:43:41.130
gave that to the parents, to the physical, to the
554
00:43:41.489 --> 00:43:46.369
earthly parents. Because he said, the only ones that truly
555
00:43:46.650 --> 00:43:49.530
represents me are the parents. When you respect them, you
556
00:43:49.570 --> 00:43:53.230
respect me. And since I am the source of existence
557
00:43:53.269 --> 00:43:57.590
to you, when you live for my existence, you're alive.
558
00:43:57.880 --> 00:44:01.559
When you live for your own existence... you've denied me
559
00:44:01.920 --> 00:44:06.219
as being God, your existence, then you're dead. Because without God,
560
00:44:06.420 --> 00:44:10.659
we are all dead. Even if we are breathing, going
561
00:44:10.780 --> 00:44:15.570
and coming, but spiritually, definitely dead. And the reason why
562
00:44:15.610 --> 00:44:19.590
we argue at home and we fight at home, because
563
00:44:19.789 --> 00:44:23.469
as youngsters living at home, we don't have a life
564
00:44:24.699 --> 00:44:27.380
for mom to ruin. Because I don't have it. What
565
00:44:27.400 --> 00:44:31.659
do I have? I have existence. I don't have a life.
566
00:44:32.239 --> 00:44:37.760
And my existence is what my mom is trying to challenge.
567
00:44:39.340 --> 00:44:42.460
When you're living at home under your parents' roof and
568
00:44:42.480 --> 00:44:44.719
you want to do things your way, you're saying to
569
00:44:44.760 --> 00:44:50.380
your parents, I exist, you don't. That can never be.
570
00:44:52.139 --> 00:44:55.760
Because that was never the case and never will be.
571
00:44:56.840 --> 00:45:00.659
Because from day one, your existence are the parents'. So
572
00:45:00.679 --> 00:45:04.539
you're trying to take their place and live in the
573
00:45:04.579 --> 00:45:08.139
same space. Can you put two books in the same space?
574
00:45:08.519 --> 00:45:11.780
Can you put two cars in the same space? You can't.
575
00:45:13.159 --> 00:45:17.880
Only one thing occupies any space at any given moment.
576
00:45:19.000 --> 00:45:23.199
So when the parents who are truly your existence and
577
00:45:23.239 --> 00:45:26.059
you come along and you want to take that existence,
578
00:45:26.099 --> 00:45:32.679
meaning occupying that space, Argument and fighting happens in the family.
579
00:45:34.889 --> 00:45:37.010
So how do I honor my mom and dad so
580
00:45:37.050 --> 00:45:38.989
the Lord God can bless me and give me a
581
00:45:39.030 --> 00:45:44.710
long life? Next time mom says, can you wash the dishes, sweetie?
582
00:45:45.949 --> 00:45:50.389
You say, of course, mom, anything for you. Do boys
583
00:45:50.429 --> 00:45:52.650
and girls that live with mom and dads at home,
584
00:45:52.849 --> 00:45:57.690
do yourself a favor. You better challenge your mom to
585
00:45:57.750 --> 00:46:01.170
be always a mom. And you better challenge your dad
586
00:46:01.210 --> 00:46:04.719
to be always your dad. Because if mom is not mom,
587
00:46:04.860 --> 00:46:08.940
you don't live. Because she is your existence. And when
588
00:46:09.059 --> 00:46:13.039
mom becomes someone else, you have denied your existence. When
589
00:46:13.059 --> 00:46:16.889
you've denied your existence, you don't live. So you better
590
00:46:16.909 --> 00:46:19.969
make sure she is always mom. And as a mother,
591
00:46:20.070 --> 00:46:23.590
her job is to say to you, firstly, no. No.
592
00:46:25.349 --> 00:46:30.559
Why no? Because this is the only way mom is
593
00:46:30.840 --> 00:46:36.329
able to express and explain to you that I exist,
594
00:46:36.610 --> 00:46:41.840
you don't. I'm the owner, you don't. It's my space,
595
00:46:42.300 --> 00:46:45.599
it's not yours. This is my home, it's not yours.
596
00:46:45.920 --> 00:46:49.440
This is my bed, it's not yours. This is my room,
597
00:46:49.739 --> 00:46:53.380
it's not yours. But out of love and kindness, I'm
598
00:46:53.539 --> 00:46:59.309
allowing you to occupy my space, meaning existence, on one condition,
599
00:46:59.849 --> 00:47:04.329
that you honor me, respect me. Otherwise, if you don't,
600
00:47:04.949 --> 00:47:11.320
you cannot live. Get out. Why was Adam kicked out
601
00:47:11.360 --> 00:47:14.599
of the garden because the garden of Eden, because the
602
00:47:14.639 --> 00:47:19.460
garden of Eden is the space that is occupied by God.
603
00:47:19.820 --> 00:47:24.289
God is the king. God is the ruler. God is
604
00:47:24.510 --> 00:47:29.190
the sovereign authority. God is the only one that occupies
605
00:47:29.510 --> 00:47:33.750
and exists there. Adam wanted to be like God, meaning
606
00:47:33.989 --> 00:47:36.780
he wanted to be another me in the same space.
607
00:47:37.059 --> 00:47:40.860
God said, it's either me or the highway. You Either
608
00:47:40.880 --> 00:47:43.199
do it my way or you hit the highway, Adam.
609
00:47:43.800 --> 00:47:46.579
For as long as I am your existence, you live.
610
00:47:47.460 --> 00:47:51.809
The moment that comes that you become your own existence,
611
00:47:52.250 --> 00:47:57.530
you're dead. It's not that God killed me. It's because
612
00:47:58.110 --> 00:48:02.179
I lived for my own existence. But you know what?
613
00:48:02.940 --> 00:48:06.260
When God created Adam and all of us are Adams,
614
00:48:07.429 --> 00:48:10.840
Read the Holy Bible carefully and thoroughly. What does it
615
00:48:10.920 --> 00:48:14.079
say about Adam? And then it says, And the Lord
616
00:48:14.119 --> 00:48:19.539
God breathed into the nostrils of Adam the breath of life,
617
00:48:19.960 --> 00:48:24.960
and Adam became a living soul. What did I say earlier?
618
00:48:24.980 --> 00:48:32.139
I am a soul. My soul lives, barely exists. I
619
00:48:32.179 --> 00:48:38.400
have a body. My body exists, barely lives. And Adam
620
00:48:38.460 --> 00:48:43.019
became a what? A living soul. A living soul does
621
00:48:43.099 --> 00:48:48.559
not
have its own existence. A living soul's existence is God.
622
00:48:49.960 --> 00:48:54.739
So Adam lived as long as God was his existence. Meaning,
623
00:48:56.099 --> 00:48:59.000
Adam had to do things the way daddy wants it,
624
00:48:59.559 --> 00:49:03.550
not I want it. When the day came, Adam broke
625
00:49:03.739 --> 00:49:09.079
daddy's word. ate from the forbidden tree, something was born
626
00:49:09.239 --> 00:49:14.389
in Adam that was never there before. What was it? Mwah.
627
00:49:15.710 --> 00:49:19.230
The I am was born in Adam when he broke
628
00:49:19.369 --> 00:49:23.840
God's word. what is i am existence what is existence
629
00:49:24.300 --> 00:49:28.900
now i have filled the space with me not with
630
00:49:28.940 --> 00:49:34.349
god i trespassed Now I want to be in the
631
00:49:34.409 --> 00:49:37.250
house of the Lord my way. I want to live
632
00:49:37.349 --> 00:49:41.630
in my father's house my way. The father will always
633
00:49:41.710 --> 00:49:46.449
be father. The mother will always be mother. They cannot change.
634
00:49:46.789 --> 00:49:49.929
Don't force them to change because they will never change.
635
00:49:52.289 --> 00:49:58.179
Because father means exist. Mother means exist. You take my existence,
636
00:49:58.440 --> 00:50:02.659
I'll tell you off. So don't be shocked when mom
637
00:50:02.909 --> 00:50:08.409
and dad say to you, no. Because that's their job
638
00:50:08.429 --> 00:50:13.210
to do. For as long as they are the existence,
639
00:50:13.369 --> 00:50:20.719
you live. The moment you exist, you die. Existence versus life.
640
00:50:21.760 --> 00:50:26.420
Is it really? Should it be this way? No. They
641
00:50:26.440 --> 00:50:29.619
need to live in harmony. They need to join together.
642
00:50:30.570 --> 00:50:36.630
In unity. How is it gonna join in unity? The
643
00:50:36.690 --> 00:50:42.219
moment that I begin to live for someone else's existence,
644
00:50:43.039 --> 00:50:50.360
I will live. When kids live for their parents, they're happy.
645
00:50:51.079 --> 00:50:57.909
The day that comes, kids go against their parents because
646
00:50:57.949 --> 00:51:02.110
they are searching for their own existence, They can never
647
00:51:02.170 --> 00:51:06.769
be happy. They're depressed all the time. They are vacuumed,
648
00:51:07.030 --> 00:51:13.480
empty from inside. Why? Because they tried to establish something
649
00:51:14.179 --> 00:51:17.880
that they were never created to be. You were created
650
00:51:18.760 --> 00:51:22.820
to not have existence because your existence is God, your parents.
651
00:51:23.739 --> 00:51:26.949
So when you create something that is not in you,
652
00:51:29.110 --> 00:51:34.449
you killed yourself. When kids do things their way and
653
00:51:34.610 --> 00:51:38.429
go out of the parents house in search of freedom,
654
00:51:38.869 --> 00:51:45.380
in search of peace, in search of, you know, fullness, value.
655
00:51:45.800 --> 00:51:47.860
So
what do they do? They go out and they say,
656
00:51:47.940 --> 00:51:52.559
now I am living because no more parents nagging me
657
00:51:53.059 --> 00:51:57.780
and choking me. What happens to these kids? 100% they
658
00:51:57.800 --> 00:52:06.869
get in trouble. 100%. You can never escape this. You
659
00:52:06.909 --> 00:52:11.789
know why? Because God intended it to be this way.
660
00:52:12.250 --> 00:52:15.369
That as long as the parents are your roots, are
661
00:52:15.389 --> 00:52:20.070
your existence, you will live abundantly and a blessed life.
662
00:52:20.489 --> 00:52:24.619
The moment you live for yourself, you are living for
663
00:52:24.659 --> 00:52:29.840
an existence that never existed. You are destroying your life.
664
00:52:31.710 --> 00:52:37.389
Now parents, we have physical parents, we have spiritual parents,
665
00:52:37.789 --> 00:52:47.179
we have divine parent, God. Any of these parents, we disrespect,
666
00:52:47.940 --> 00:52:51.840
we destroy ourselves. You know what's the problem of the
667
00:52:52.059 --> 00:52:58.639
21st century, the western world is one thing. They want
668
00:52:59.019 --> 00:53:09.230
to abolish parenthood The original sin is the abolishment of parenthood.
669
00:53:12.449 --> 00:53:20.110
Why did Adam die? Because he denied God's existence. The
670
00:53:20.150 --> 00:53:30.809
Western world will always teach you to live an individualistic lifestyle. You, you,
671
00:53:30.869 --> 00:53:35.610
you as an individual. They drive this very forcefully. They
672
00:53:35.710 --> 00:53:41.300
teach it through the educational systems. Schools everywhere. Mom, dad
673
00:53:41.780 --> 00:53:47.139
touch you, say something. Triple zero, bro. You're 16. You're
674
00:53:47.179 --> 00:53:50.940
entitled to leave home. And you can live for yourself.
675
00:53:51.079 --> 00:53:56.639
The government will support you. Now, some might say... In
676
00:53:56.659 --> 00:53:58.679
the Western world, it's got to be this way because
677
00:53:58.900 --> 00:54:01.480
the West is the West and the East is the East. Marmarie,
678
00:54:01.519 --> 00:54:03.969
you come from the East. You're trying to implement the
679
00:54:03.989 --> 00:54:07.349
East into the West. No. Who created the East and
680
00:54:07.369 --> 00:54:09.590
the West and the North and the South is one.
681
00:54:10.090 --> 00:54:13.150
And that is God. But the problem of the West,
682
00:54:13.610 --> 00:54:17.780
they have denied their existence. And who is their existence? God.
683
00:54:19.539 --> 00:54:22.360
The moment they denied their existence, they died. They died.
684
00:54:24.789 --> 00:54:30.679
That's why they drive everything that produces death. Western world
685
00:54:30.909 --> 00:54:39.199
does not focus on family value. It's individual value. You're
686
00:54:39.219 --> 00:54:42.659
a teenager now, you're free, you're mature enough. No one
687
00:54:42.699 --> 00:54:48.010
can tell you what to do. You're not happy, leave. Divide,
688
00:54:48.030 --> 00:54:51.989
you know they say something in English, you want to conquer, divide,
689
00:54:52.429 --> 00:54:56.130
then you can conquer. Divide and conquer. Because when you divide,
690
00:54:56.369 --> 00:54:58.800
you're making it weak. And when you make that thing weak,
691
00:54:58.860 --> 00:55:03.780
you'll always control it. When you're on your own, you
692
00:55:03.840 --> 00:55:07.599
are vulnerable. You are susceptible to anything that goes wrong.
693
00:55:07.860 --> 00:55:10.559
Because when you're alone, anyone can come and break you.
694
00:55:10.800 --> 00:55:14.889
But when you are one unit, family, held together, no
695
00:55:14.949 --> 00:55:20.289
one can break you. Why does the home collapses? Because
696
00:55:20.329 --> 00:55:24.050
there is division. Because everyone at home is trying to
697
00:55:24.090 --> 00:55:27.110
live for themselves, not for the other. If the brother
698
00:55:27.150 --> 00:55:30.110
lived for his sister, if the sister lived for her brother,
699
00:55:30.429 --> 00:55:32.250
if the dad lived for the son and the son
700
00:55:32.309 --> 00:55:34.510
for the dad, the mother for the daughter and the
701
00:55:34.550 --> 00:55:37.150
daughter for the mother, the home is built on the
702
00:55:37.190 --> 00:55:40.809
rock and that is Christ Jesus. Who can bring it down?
703
00:55:41.170 --> 00:55:44.090
No one. When God is with me, who can be
704
00:55:44.199 --> 00:55:50.500
against me? When God is my rock, no cyclone, no earthquake,
705
00:55:50.820 --> 00:55:55.010
no tidal waves, nothing will bring that house down. Because
706
00:55:55.320 --> 00:56:00.110
everything is under the foot of Christ. But the moment
707
00:56:00.829 --> 00:56:03.409
I begin to live for myself, and then I get
708
00:56:03.789 --> 00:56:08.469
driven that way, family collapses. And when the family collapses,
709
00:56:09.869 --> 00:56:17.690
children get lost. Destroyed. My young people, I love you guys.
710
00:56:18.670 --> 00:56:22.309
Don't ever think outside of home somebody loves you more
711
00:56:22.349 --> 00:56:26.469
than your parents. It's a lie if you believe it.
712
00:56:27.139 --> 00:56:31.599
It's a lie. No friends, no cousins. I don't care
713
00:56:31.619 --> 00:56:34.039
who that person is and I'm not judging. I'm just
714
00:56:34.079 --> 00:56:39.659
stating the truth, the facts of life. There is no
715
00:56:39.860 --> 00:56:44.469
one outside of that family home on the face of
716
00:56:44.530 --> 00:56:47.090
this earth that loves you more than mom and dad
717
00:56:47.289 --> 00:56:52.860
except one, Jesus Christ, who art in heaven. He's the
718
00:56:52.989 --> 00:56:56.090
only one that loves you more than your parents. But
719
00:56:56.170 --> 00:57:00.010
on earth, parents always will come number one when it
720
00:57:00.090 --> 00:57:05.300
comes to sacrifice, to giving, to laying their life on
721
00:57:05.340 --> 00:57:07.739
the line for you. No one will do it,
but
722
00:57:07.820 --> 00:57:11.659
mom and dad will. So why are you accepting and
723
00:57:11.699 --> 00:57:15.360
believing in a lie, then going and trusting a friend
724
00:57:15.519 --> 00:57:18.460
and not trusting mom and dad? Why are you putting
725
00:57:18.500 --> 00:57:21.949
your life in the hands of so-called? Friends and not
726
00:57:22.090 --> 00:57:23.969
trusting to put your life in the hands of your
727
00:57:24.010 --> 00:57:26.909
parents yet They are the only one that will always
728
00:57:26.969 --> 00:57:29.570
love you from the bottom of their heart and I've
729
00:57:29.590 --> 00:57:33.289
said this and I'll say it again the Western world
730
00:57:33.309 --> 00:57:35.650
And now when I say the Western world, I'm not
731
00:57:35.690 --> 00:57:37.800
judging I'm not saying the East is better than the
732
00:57:37.840 --> 00:57:40.199
West or the West is better. No. No. No, I'm
733
00:57:40.280 --> 00:57:45.070
saying that Is there God in your life? Now, this
734
00:57:45.170 --> 00:57:47.530
has got nothing to do with East and West because
735
00:57:47.610 --> 00:57:53.289
God is the creator of all directions and every piece
736
00:57:53.349 --> 00:58:00.590
of land. God exists. When we deny God, we die.
737
00:58:00.630 --> 00:58:08.190
And I'll always say this, the Western world is absolutely
738
00:58:08.269 --> 00:58:13.050
successful in giving value to everything. But the Western world
739
00:58:13.190 --> 00:58:20.159
failed miserably in giving purpose to everything. What do I
740
00:58:20.219 --> 00:58:24.190
say about purpose? When we ask and say this question,
741
00:58:25.820 --> 00:58:28.199
What's the purpose of my life? I said, this is
742
00:58:28.219 --> 00:58:32.000
the wrong question because that question never exists. There is
743
00:58:32.039 --> 00:58:35.780
no such thing as purpose of life, but there is
744
00:58:36.590 --> 00:58:41.269
the purpose of existence. That's the true question that everyone
745
00:58:41.289 --> 00:58:44.690
of us should ask. What is the purpose of my existence?
746
00:58:45.610 --> 00:58:51.980
So true. So the Western world failed miserably in giving
747
00:58:52.099 --> 00:58:56.590
purpose to everything. And purpose is to do with existence.
748
00:58:57.650 --> 00:59:01.079
And when you find your existence, you're alive. When you
749
00:59:01.260 --> 00:59:10.300
deny your existence, you're dead. What's value? Human rights. what's
750
00:59:10.460 --> 00:59:15.739
purpose existence the right to be a human i'll say
751
00:59:15.760 --> 00:59:21.739
it again what's value human rights what's purpose existence the
752
00:59:21.800 --> 00:59:25.929
right to be a human We always talk in the West,
753
00:59:26.409 --> 00:59:29.030
it's human rights. You have the right to go out naked.
754
00:59:29.269 --> 00:59:31.949
You have the right to marry this. Joe marries Smith
755
00:59:32.309 --> 00:59:35.610
and Elizabeth marries Rachel. You are right. No one can
756
00:59:35.670 --> 00:59:37.519
tell you what to do. No one can tell you
757
00:59:37.559 --> 00:59:40.320
what to say. And then they come back and say, hey,
758
00:59:40.360 --> 00:59:43.440
look at these Christians. They are a bunch of... You know,
759
00:59:43.719 --> 00:59:48.150
discriminative people, judgmental people, they think they're something everyone else
760
00:59:48.190 --> 00:59:50.710
is a second class citizen. It is not to do
761
00:59:50.809 --> 00:59:53.880
with Christians. It is to do with your existence, my
762
00:59:53.940 --> 00:59:58.440
dear friend. Because when you deny your existence, you cannot live.
763
00:59:58.480 --> 01:00:02.590
You will destroy your life. And what's happening in the
764
01:00:02.630 --> 01:00:08.119
West around us, an absolute destruction of life because they
765
01:00:08.460 --> 01:00:15.880
have denied their existence, which is God. So when they
766
01:00:15.960 --> 01:00:20.690
denied God their existence, they did not talk about purpose anymore.
767
01:00:21.030 --> 01:00:26.710
They started talking about and focusing on value. What is value?
768
01:00:27.610 --> 01:00:32.059
Human rights. What is purpose? The right to be a human.
769
01:00:32.960 --> 01:00:38.780
That's why human rights is the goal. But you know what?
770
01:00:39.900 --> 01:00:42.039
For as long as you don't know what the purpose is,
771
01:00:42.500 --> 01:00:44.940
how can you give it value? If you don't know
772
01:00:44.960 --> 01:00:47.239
what the purpose of a car is, how can you
773
01:00:47.280 --> 01:00:49.409
value it? If you don't know what the purpose of
774
01:00:49.469 --> 01:00:51.849
that computer is, how can you put a price tag
775
01:00:51.989 --> 01:00:54.710
on it? Without purpose, there is no value. So when
776
01:00:54.750 --> 01:01:02.190
you deny purpose, you have abused your value. That's what's happening.
777
01:01:03.170 --> 01:01:09.449
People have abused their values, which is life. Because they
778
01:01:09.489 --> 01:01:14.500
denied their existence, which is God, and they search for
779
01:01:14.539 --> 01:01:17.739
their own existence, which was never the case and never
780
01:01:17.780 --> 01:01:20.940
will be. If Australia comes back to Jesus Christ, who
781
01:01:21.019 --> 01:01:27.449
is God, it's a beautiful life. If the whole world,
782
01:01:27.630 --> 01:01:31.150
Middle East, where I come from, I'm not judging. I'm
783
01:01:31.989 --> 01:01:34.150
stating the truth. You know what the Lord Jesus said
784
01:01:34.190 --> 01:01:37.019
about the truth? He said, and the truth shall set
785
01:01:37.059 --> 01:01:43.230
you free. What is freedom? Life. Because you cannot say
786
01:01:43.320 --> 01:01:46.820
I am alive if you're not free. So the only
787
01:01:46.860 --> 01:01:48.920
time you can claim that you're alive when you say
788
01:01:48.940 --> 01:01:51.280
you're free. And the only thing that gives you that
789
01:01:51.340 --> 01:01:59.000
freedom which gives you life is truth. What's
truth? Purpose.
790
01:02:00.480 --> 01:02:07.869
What happened to Israel? That rugby player. Hmm? Are we
791
01:02:07.929 --> 01:02:15.050
afraid to talk? No. What did he say wrong? Does
792
01:02:15.070 --> 01:02:19.769
he have no right to express his freedom of belief?
793
01:02:21.239 --> 01:02:24.440
How come others have the right to express their freedom
794
01:02:24.639 --> 01:02:30.340
of belief? How come when somebody comes out and be
795
01:02:30.440 --> 01:02:34.900
disrespectful to my God, how come I'm not taking him
796
01:02:34.920 --> 01:02:39.929
to court? How come I'm not suing them? Then why
797
01:02:40.070 --> 01:02:42.329
is it when I say something all of a sudden,
798
01:02:42.349 --> 01:02:46.019
I am the enemy, I'm the worst ever to exist.
799
01:02:47.000 --> 01:02:51.360
Israel had total right to say, this is what I
800
01:02:51.420 --> 01:02:57.920
believe in. Is he judgmental now? The Western world talks
801
01:02:57.960 --> 01:03:02.280
about freedom, human rights. Where is it? You see, it's
802
01:03:02.360 --> 01:03:05.989
a lie. Why? Because there is no such thing as
803
01:03:06.050 --> 01:03:09.809
human rights. There is one thing only. The right to
804
01:03:09.849 --> 01:03:15.789
be a human. Not human rights. So we've been seeking
805
01:03:15.909 --> 01:03:26.840
and searching a lie. That's why... Everything we say is
806
01:03:26.889 --> 01:03:34.349
a lie and meaningless. It's a lie. Come, let's go
807
01:03:34.429 --> 01:03:37.929
out and have fun. That's a lie. Take some drugs.
808
01:03:38.130 --> 01:03:41.170
That's a lie. Let's go and kill this person. That
809
01:03:41.210 --> 01:03:43.809
is a lie. Let's go and destroy this house. That
810
01:03:43.849 --> 01:03:46.130
is a lie. Hey, you are free. You can do
811
01:03:46.150 --> 01:03:50.230
whatever you want. That is a lie. Because you were
812
01:03:50.329 --> 01:03:53.989
never meant to be free whatever you want to do.
813
01:03:56.219 --> 01:04:00.239
Because you came to existence because someone decided to make
814
01:04:00.280 --> 01:04:04.139
you exist. And that someone who decided to make you
815
01:04:04.199 --> 01:04:09.360
exist is God. When you deny God, your parents, you died.
816
01:04:10.139 --> 01:04:17.559
So people are searching fanatically for freedom, for prosperity, for
817
01:04:17.679 --> 01:04:25.550
success outside of God. What a lie. I was listening
818
01:04:25.590 --> 01:04:34.039
to an atheist talking about some scientific stuff to prove
819
01:04:34.159 --> 01:04:38.099
to his audiences that there is no God. He was
820
01:04:38.980 --> 01:04:47.179
talking childish stuff. Kindergarten, not even level. Yet he is
821
01:04:47.219 --> 01:04:52.269
a professor. What did I say about childish? Existence is childish.
822
01:04:53.570 --> 01:04:57.449
Because you're fighting over space. This is my room. Get
823
01:04:57.489 --> 01:04:59.329
out of my room. When you look at these kids
824
01:04:59.949 --> 01:05:02.570
fighting like that, you laugh at them. And when you
825
01:05:02.590 --> 01:05:06.610
listen to a human being mature with a degree of
826
01:05:06.750 --> 01:05:10.579
PhD from 20 meters long, he's got a certificate from
827
01:05:10.639 --> 01:05:14.000
the best universities in the world. And then he comes
828
01:05:14.280 --> 01:05:17.199
and then he fights about his existence. He says to God,
829
01:05:17.239 --> 01:05:19.380
get out of my space. I don't want you. You
830
01:05:19.400 --> 01:05:22.139
don't exist. I don't want. This is exactly like a
831
01:05:22.159 --> 01:05:27.079
little kid fighting. Childish. There is no wisdom there. And
832
01:05:27.119 --> 01:05:30.159
that kind of talk, I don't care who you are.
833
01:05:31.599 --> 01:05:34.519
And I'm talking with love and respect. I'm not judging.
834
01:05:34.840 --> 01:05:39.039
I'm stating a fact. It's okay for Richard Dawkins to
835
01:05:39.079 --> 01:05:45.590
come out so hostile and speak so arrogantly and so
836
01:05:45.800 --> 01:05:51.889
disrespectfully against Christians. Nobody, no Christian has taken Stephen Hawkins
837
01:05:51.929 --> 01:05:57.900
to Supreme Court and sued him for this. Because Christians
838
01:05:58.300 --> 01:06:06.190
believe in one thing. My existence is Jesus Christ. I'm
839
01:06:06.230 --> 01:06:10.090
not here to judge him. I'm not here to hurt him.
840
01:06:11.989 --> 01:06:18.530
I let my existence talk. God. But I'm praying for
841
01:06:18.659 --> 01:06:22.760
people like him. For my God to make them realize
842
01:06:22.780 --> 01:06:28.519
the truth. I urge you. And I beg you, don't
843
01:06:28.599 --> 01:06:38.159
listen to nonsense things at school, with friends, in the street,
844
01:06:39.239 --> 01:06:45.320
in the internet, Facebook. Nonsense, get away with. You don't
845
01:06:45.340 --> 01:06:52.840
need it. Come back to the Lord. Pre-occupy your time
846
01:06:52.960 --> 01:06:55.440
with the Word of God. Read the Bible instead of
847
01:06:55.780 --> 01:07:00.969
sitting on that laptop. Grab the Holy Bible and read it.
848
01:07:02.389 --> 01:07:07.230
Pray instead of talking about people. Respect mom and dad
849
01:07:07.349 --> 01:07:11.809
instead of spending time with so and so. Be good
850
01:07:11.829 --> 01:07:16.150
at home. Don't be good outside in the street. I'm
851
01:07:16.190 --> 01:07:19.070
bad at home, but I'm Mr. Nice Guy in the street.
852
01:07:20.230 --> 01:07:24.260
What is this? Be good at home for you to
853
01:07:24.300 --> 01:07:28.320
be able to be good outside. If I can't respect home,
854
01:07:28.489 --> 01:07:32.510
I can't respect the street. Come to church instead of
855
01:07:32.550 --> 01:07:37.030
the club. Drink the blood of Christ instead of wine
856
01:07:37.250 --> 01:07:41.210
that makes you drunk and lost. Come to the light
857
01:07:41.809 --> 01:07:44.909
instead of the darkness of this world. Come to the
858
01:07:44.989 --> 01:07:49.829
truth instead of living a lie. Be you. Don't be
859
01:07:49.949 --> 01:07:54.480
someone that can never be you. Be you. Be true
860
01:07:54.780 --> 01:08:00.940
to yourself. Be honest with yourself. And be humble. What's humility?
861
01:08:01.780 --> 01:08:06.550
When I let go of my existence and live for
862
01:08:06.570 --> 01:08:10.590
the one who is my existence. That's humility. Humility is
863
01:08:10.630 --> 01:08:13.949
when I live for Jesus Christ, not for myself. Why
864
01:08:14.110 --> 01:08:19.329
is Jesus humble? Because Jesus never lived for himself, not
865
01:08:19.390 --> 01:08:23.319
even a single moment. The 33 years and 4 months
866
01:08:23.640 --> 01:08:26.289
that he spent on the face of this earth, every
867
01:08:26.390 --> 01:08:29.890
single moment of those 33 years and 4 months, lived
868
01:08:29.949 --> 01:08:34.300
them totally for his dad, nothing for himself. Read the
869
01:08:34.319 --> 01:08:38.779
New Testament. Jesus never said, never did anything that glorified Him.
870
01:08:39.199 --> 01:08:42.340
Everything He said and everything He did was to glorify
871
01:08:42.380 --> 01:08:45.819
His heavenly Father. It is not who He says to me, Lord, Lord,
872
01:08:45.880 --> 01:08:48.460
will enter the kingdom of heaven. But it is the
873
01:08:48.579 --> 01:08:51.189
one who does the will of my dad will enter
874
01:08:51.229 --> 01:08:53.529
the kingdom of heaven. I came to do the will
875
01:08:53.569 --> 01:08:56.369
of my father, not my will. My food is to
876
01:08:56.430 --> 01:08:59.869
do what my dad has sent me to accomplish. I
877
01:08:59.989 --> 01:09:03.109
Came to live for him and as long as I
878
01:09:03.220 --> 01:09:07.439
lived for his existence. I live forever. I don't die
879
01:09:09.039 --> 01:09:12.319
The moment Jesus if he had lived for himself, he
880
01:09:12.380 --> 01:09:14.340
would never been able to get out of that grave.
881
01:09:14.359 --> 01:09:18.260
I But as long as he lived for his dad
882
01:09:18.600 --> 01:09:21.600
and said, my dad is my existence. As long as
883
01:09:21.659 --> 01:09:25.659
dad is my existence, he is my father. Therefore, as
884
01:09:25.699 --> 01:09:30.300
long as I acknowledge my dad, I live. The moment
885
01:09:30.420 --> 01:09:33.399
I deny my dad who is my existence, I don't live.
886
01:09:33.960 --> 01:09:39.020
Please listen and think about what you heard. Grab one
887
01:09:39.060 --> 01:09:44.850
word and focus on it. Why am I fighting? Why
888
01:09:44.930 --> 01:09:49.119
am I angry? Why am I not happy? Why am
889
01:09:49.199 --> 01:09:52.159
I not content with what I have? How come I'm
890
01:09:52.239 --> 01:09:56.229
whinging and complaining? What is this? What is this house?
891
01:09:56.609 --> 01:09:59.930
What is this car? What is this life? I don't
892
01:09:59.949 --> 01:10:05.210
have money. I don't have this. Hey, do you have Jesus?
893
01:10:06.729 --> 01:10:09.880
That's the question you should ask yourself and find the
894
01:10:09.960 --> 01:10:14.710
answer to. What does it profit a man if he
895
01:10:14.750 --> 01:10:18.649
gains the whole world and loses himself? But I say
896
01:10:18.689 --> 01:10:22.770
to you, blessed is the soul that loses itself. For
897
01:10:22.840 --> 01:10:25.720
my sake, I the son of man, for you will
898
01:10:25.819 --> 01:10:31.520
find yourself in the end. You live for yourself, you
899
01:10:31.539 --> 01:10:36.220
lose it. You live for me, I Jesus, you'll find yourself. Mom,
900
01:10:36.260 --> 01:10:40.479
I'm sorry that I've upset you. Tonight I'm saying to you,
901
01:10:40.590 --> 01:10:46.399
forgive me. Dad, I'm sorry for every moment that I
902
01:10:46.460 --> 01:10:50.199
broke your heart, for every moment that I made you upset,
903
01:10:50.800 --> 01:10:53.060
for every moment that I was the reason for the
904
01:10:53.119 --> 01:10:55.979
tear to come down from your eyes. I am sorry.
905
01:10:56.840 --> 01:11:00.159
How can I help you, Dad? What can I do
906
01:11:00.199 --> 01:11:05.350
for you, Mom? What a beautiful life. Jesus, I come
907
01:11:05.430 --> 01:11:11.829
to you humbly, denying myself and putting my head down
908
01:11:12.550 --> 01:11:17.310
Before your holy feet. And saying sorry. For I have
909
01:11:17.409 --> 01:11:22.430
sinned before you. And heaven. Please. Let me be a
910
01:11:22.510 --> 01:11:25.260
servant in your home. I'm not worthy to be your
911
01:11:25.300 --> 01:11:29.159
son again. For I have sinned against you. And heaven.
912
01:11:29.800 --> 01:11:32.539
Just let me come back to you Lord. Let me
913
01:11:32.600 --> 01:11:38.380
come back to you Lord. Be genuine. Those who are married.
914
01:11:40.560 --> 01:11:43.279
Love your partner. Now. Even if they are pain in
915
01:11:43.300 --> 01:11:49.090
the neck. And if your partner doesn't want you. You
916
01:11:49.130 --> 01:11:52.609
still love them. If you want to live. Love them.
917
01:11:53.550 --> 01:11:56.149
And that's why the Lord went to the extreme. And
918
01:11:56.170 --> 01:12:01.310
he said love your enemy. Sometimes the husband or the
919
01:12:01.350 --> 01:12:04.550
wife can be the enemy. But you know what? It's
920
01:12:04.590 --> 01:12:08.989
not that bad after all. Because if somebody tries to
921
01:12:09.069 --> 01:12:14.210
hurt someone. they are ultimately hurting themselves, no one else.
922
01:12:17.750 --> 01:12:22.270
Because you cannot hurt someone unless you first hurt yourself.
923
01:12:25.810 --> 01:12:29.229
You don't want to be hurt? Love. And I love you.
924
01:12:30.510 --> 01:12:35.270
Because I don't want to be hurt. Jesus taught us
925
01:12:35.399 --> 01:12:41.310
always to love one another. Love one another. That was
926
01:12:41.350 --> 01:12:46.170
the last commandment he gave before leaving us from earth.
927
01:12:47.090 --> 01:12:50.010
He said, if you love me, then love one another.
928
01:12:50.930 --> 01:12:54.210
In this, the world will know that you are my disciples.
929
01:12:54.670 --> 01:12:57.909
When you love each other, you will prove to the
930
01:12:57.949 --> 01:13:02.270
world that you belong to me. And in order for
931
01:13:02.310 --> 01:13:07.159
me to love someone, I have to deny myself. I
932
01:13:07.199 --> 01:13:10.800
don't live for my existence. I live for for their existence.
933
01:13:11.380 --> 01:13:13.079
And that's the only way I'm going to love them.
934
01:13:13.380 --> 01:13:16.119
And when I deny myself, I become humble. When I
935
01:13:16.159 --> 01:13:19.890
become humble, I live. When I live, I'm not depressed anymore.
936
01:13:20.729 --> 01:13:25.810
God bless you guys. May the Lord Jesus always bless you,
937
01:13:26.590 --> 01:13:30.369
guide you, and protect you, and teach you how to
938
01:13:30.430 --> 01:13:36.210
live humbly. Not for yourselves, but for the one who
939
01:13:36.289 --> 01:13:42.140
is in your life. Give yourself for others. Because God
940
01:13:42.199 --> 01:13:45.340
gave himself for you. You need to return the favor.
941
01:13:45.859 --> 01:13:48.649
Just like God gave himself up for you on the cross.
942
01:13:49.390 --> 01:13:52.430
You need to give up your life for him. Love
943
01:13:53.069 --> 01:13:56.329
is a both-way street. It's a two-way street. Love is
944
01:13:56.369 --> 01:14:02.899
never selfish. Love is never egocentric. Love never thinks about itself.
945
01:14:03.340 --> 01:14:10.130
Love always believes in everything. And always... covers a lot
946
01:14:10.170 --> 01:14:14.649
of errors. When somebody does something wrong against you, if
947
01:14:14.689 --> 01:14:18.239
you truly love them, cover that mistake, don't reveal it,
948
01:14:18.729 --> 01:14:21.979
and don't expose that mistake to the world. If you love,
949
01:14:22.409 --> 01:14:27.439
you hide things, you don't reveal them. But in secret,
950
01:14:27.619 --> 01:14:31.159
between you and that person, you tell them off. What
951
01:14:31.220 --> 01:14:35.100
you did was wrong, you need to fix yourself. But
952
01:14:35.140 --> 01:14:37.920
before the world, you are perfect.
