00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:03.279
How do you balance not putting too much emphasis on
2
00:00:03.359 --> 00:00:07.200
your job or responsibilities in the world, but still fulfilling
3
00:00:07.440 --> 00:00:14.400
our role or duties. Well, how do you balance between
4
00:00:14.400 --> 00:00:17.719
this and that? Okay, whatever you do in life, as
5
00:00:17.800 --> 00:00:22.559
far as responsibilities and duties, which is also a given,
6
00:00:22.600 --> 00:00:28.039
you must attend to them. Your husband, your father, your
7
00:00:28.079 --> 00:00:30.280
a wife, you're a mother, you have a family to
8
00:00:30.320 --> 00:00:34.320
look after. There are certain obligations, there are certain responsibilities
9
00:00:34.640 --> 00:00:38.039
to attend to and you must and the Lord will
10
00:00:38.079 --> 00:00:41.399
demand that of you, by the way, So how do
11
00:00:41.439 --> 00:00:45.520
you balance between that and what the Lord wants from you?
12
00:00:46.039 --> 00:00:50.920
In everything you do, put the Lord in it. That's
13
00:00:50.920 --> 00:00:54.759
how you balance it. So before you go out, say Lord,
14
00:00:54.880 --> 00:00:58.840
let's go together. Before you take one step, say Lord.
15
00:00:58.799 --> 00:01:01.359
Let me take this step in your mighty name.
16
00:01:01.840 --> 00:01:05.239
Before you attend to anyone, and say Lord, I'm bringing
17
00:01:05.280 --> 00:01:08.040
you with me. Because the one who can help, the
18
00:01:08.040 --> 00:01:10.760
one who can change, the one who can protect, the
19
00:01:10.799 --> 00:01:15.359
one who can mold, shape and enlighten is you. All
20
00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:19.599
you need to do. The work is the Lord's, not you. Your
21
00:01:19.359 --> 00:01:23.359
task is to carry the Lord in your heart and take.
22
00:01:23.159 --> 00:01:26.120
Him everywhere he wishes for you to take him.
23
00:01:26.599 --> 00:01:33.799
The work is his not yours, father, mother, brother, sister,
24
00:01:34.879 --> 00:01:42.799
church leader. Don't ever think that we are working in
25
00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:46.280
the house of the Lord, that we are organizing things
26
00:01:46.280 --> 00:01:48.959
in the house of the Lord, that we are building
27
00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:52.000
churches for the Lord, that we are bringing people to
28
00:01:52.040 --> 00:01:55.959
the Lord. Everything is the Lord. I am just a
29
00:01:56.040 --> 00:02:02.879
vessel carrying the Lord. And when I allow him to
30
00:02:02.959 --> 00:02:09.240
work through me, he will do wonders and miracles. But
31
00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:14.960
the one who does is the Lord. Because remember who
32
00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:15.759
is the Lord?
33
00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:24.800
To you? The breath of life, and the Lord God.
34
00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:29.479
Breathed through the nostrils of Adam, the breath of life,
35
00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:36.439
and Adam became a living soul. Every time you're able
36
00:02:36.520 --> 00:02:42.479
to breathe. Remember this is Jesus Christ of Nazareth. So
37
00:02:42.560 --> 00:02:47.199
if we are not alive, forget about talking about I'm
38
00:02:47.240 --> 00:02:49.560
going to work and I'm going to build, and I'm
39
00:02:49.560 --> 00:02:53.280
going to do this. Without life, there is nothing we
40
00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:56.919
cannot do anything. This is why the Lord says it
41
00:02:57.120 --> 00:02:59.680
very clearly and straightforward.
42
00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:00.879
In John fifteen five.
43
00:03:01.319 --> 00:03:06.360
He says without me, ay, Jesus Christ, you cannot do anything.
44
00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:09.039
You cannot do nothing without me.
45
00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:12.319
Why because I am the breath of your life. I
46
00:03:12.360 --> 00:03:14.680
am your life, and without life, show me what you
47
00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:18.560
can do. So when you're able to wake up, it
48
00:03:18.639 --> 00:03:21.080
is me. When you're able to go to work, it
49
00:03:21.159 --> 00:03:23.280
is me. When you're able to build, it is me.
50
00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:25.400
When you're able to provide.
51
00:03:25.039 --> 00:03:25.439
It is me.
52
00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:28.319
So how can I balance between the responsibilities of.
53
00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:29.800
The world and it's not the world.
54
00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:33.840
The Lord has given you that responsibility. Therefore you need
55
00:03:33.919 --> 00:03:36.719
to acknowledge his presence.
56
00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:42.000
And that responsibility and say, Lord, I thank you.
57
00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:44.400
I've worked all week and I'm still safe and sound,
58
00:03:44.759 --> 00:03:47.639
and I received that wage at the end of the week,
59
00:03:47.680 --> 00:03:49.599
and I came and brought this and this and this
60
00:03:49.639 --> 00:03:54.240
for the house. Everything is you, Lord, Everything is you.
61
00:03:55.159 --> 00:03:57.439
And when you love the Lord Jesus, and when you
62
00:03:57.479 --> 00:04:00.479
put him first and foremost in your life, there is
63
00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:07.759
no problem, even when you lose the eye, and even
64
00:04:07.800 --> 00:04:14.960
when you go through hell by losing that eye.
65
00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:17.439
Man, I love Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
66
00:04:22.319 --> 00:04:27.600
You know, even when the Lord gives me poison, because
67
00:04:27.639 --> 00:04:31.959
the poison came from his hand, sweeter than honey.
68
00:04:33.160 --> 00:04:33.920
But it's poison.
69
00:04:35.639 --> 00:04:41.360
It's painful, it went down and it burned me up.
70
00:04:42.959 --> 00:04:47.199
But because it's from the Lord, just wait till the end.
71
00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:53.120
It was all good. Just love the Lord.
72
00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:56.959
Man, Love the Lord, my.
73
00:04:57.000 --> 00:05:00.680
Sons and daughters, young men and women, especially everyone, mom
74
00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:04.319
and dad, grandparents, everyone, But more so to the younger generation.
75
00:05:04.519 --> 00:05:06.839
If you're a teenager, if you're in your twenties, if
76
00:05:06.839 --> 00:05:10.360
you're in your thirties, forties, fifties, whatever age you are in.
77
00:05:10.759 --> 00:05:15.800
Remember but the teenage twenties are more vulnerable because they
78
00:05:15.839 --> 00:05:21.560
are still lacking the experience of life. They have certain knowledge,
79
00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:23.839
but they don't have the experience of life.
80
00:05:23.920 --> 00:05:25.000
And since we lack that.
81
00:05:25.079 --> 00:05:29.920
Experience, we are more susceptible to making mistakes and slipping
82
00:05:29.959 --> 00:05:30.600
and sliding.
83
00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:34.279
Remember, don't ever.
84
00:05:34.360 --> 00:05:39.160
Be encouraged by people in giving you the temptation of
85
00:05:39.199 --> 00:05:39.680
this world.
86
00:05:39.959 --> 00:05:45.240
Don't follow that resent it. Stand firm when they say.
87
00:05:45.120 --> 00:05:47.160
To you, let's go out to that place, Say no,
88
00:05:47.560 --> 00:05:50.879
why because it is dark. Christ, my King, is the
89
00:05:50.959 --> 00:05:54.600
light of the world. I belong to the light, not darkness.
90
00:05:54.920 --> 00:05:58.959
Darkness is Satan. Jesus, my Lord, step on Satan.
91
00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:00.560
Go there.
92
00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:06.240
I only go where Christ belongs, where Christ wishes me
93
00:06:06.319 --> 00:06:13.560
to go to. I go there, I go there. What
94
00:06:13.720 --> 00:06:16.360
does it benefit a man if he gains the whole
95
00:06:16.360 --> 00:06:22.879
world and at the end loses himself. Nothing? Nothing, everything
96
00:06:22.959 --> 00:06:27.519
fades away. This perfect God and perfect Man is forever,
97
00:06:29.399 --> 00:06:29.800
forever
