Let’s Talk About Christ: Your Questions & Testimonies (S1E10) | 🔴 LIVE bölümünün tam dökümü

ask your question. Is that good? Yes, cool. All right, Like I said earlier, Nana ⁓ was able to join and that's what I'm hoping to have today we can actually have a ⁓ multiple conversations. I know it's something I've not done before so ⁓ bear me if the stream is all over the place, it's fine. just trying to work this out together. ⁓ Let me send this link again because ⁓ to most people. ⁓ So we're talking about Christ is our wisdom, Christ is our righteousness, Christ is our life and Christ is our peace. What does that mean to us? Does the scripture talk about that? If it does, then what does it mean? How do we leave this out practically speaking? In what ways can we leave out these things? How can I say what is it that makes me say Christ is my wisdom. So basically that's what we want to talk about. So one more time I'll send this link and then I'll get back to you one minute, one minute friends. Thank you so much. All right, all right. Okay, let me read a scripture first of all. The Bible tells us in regards to Christ is our wisdom. First Corinthians chapter one verse 30 says this. ⁓ Let me see what I'm ⁓ First Corinthians chapter one verse 30 Bible says, it says, God has united you with Christ Jesus for our benefit. God made him to be wisdom itself. Christ made us right with God. He made us pure and holy and he freed us. from our sin. He freed us from our sin. Notice what the Bible says there. That's in 1 Corinthians chapter 1 verse 30. It says, our benefit, God made Jesus to be wisdom for us. He is our wisdom. So the question is, what does that mean? How does Jesus become wisdom to us? If the Bible calls Jesus wisdom, what does that mean? I would like to hear your comments on that or opinions or views or questions as well. Yeah. What does it mean for Christ to say that Christ is our wisdom? In a noisy world, in the world we live in now, the way things are going on in our world, when we say that Jesus is wisdom, what does that mean? practically is it possible for us to, is it possible for a child of God to actually be, is it right for us to, as Christians to be head over, to aim to be better than most people if Christ is our wisdom? Or do we settle for less? Do we settle for, is it okay for Christians to fail in things and not be able to articulate what to do? I think the more we understand who Jesus is for us, the more we practically apply our nature, the spiritual nature. I believe a lot of things we experience in life will drastically, we will see a lot of drastic change in our life. That's genuinely what I believe. think most times we're not actually allowing our spiritual life to come out first. Most times actually we're not being who God has called us to be. Why? Because we don't know all that Jesus who lives in us is to us. So I really want to talk about this and I would love to have a conversation. So let's look at the text. He is our example. Thank you so much. One Jason said Christ is our example. But in terms of wisdom, what does that mean for Christ to be our wisdom? If Bible says that. So I'm asking that question. What does it mean for Christ to be our wisdom? it mean to just wisdom means what? I understand wisdom is application of knowledge. If we have knowledge and we apply that, if we have an understanding of something and knowledge and be able to apply that, that is actually the totality of wisdom. And Bible now tells us that Jesus is that to us. And so the question here is how does that mean? Where do I feel mostly unsure right now? in what decisions making that within what area of my decision making am I all over the place? Can I apply the Christ life that I have? Can I apply, you know, my faith in that area so I can start making the right decision? Can I apply my faith in the area of making right decisions in my company, making right decisions in my future? Because Christ is wisdom. This is how we need to think about these things. Christ is wisdom. Is it possible for me to apply that wisdom that Christ has given us into on a day-to-day basis? Because if we're not doing this, then most of these things we talk about is just talk. It's words, but not necessarily actions. I believe this is what it means to be Christ-like. Once again, if you want to call, use the link on the the chart and call in. Christ gives us directions. think that's coming from Angel. He gives us directions. Absolutely. So he gives us directions. That's a question mark. Absolutely. Jesus gives us directions. How? Through the Holy Spirit. You know the Bible tells us in the book of John, it says that, will not leave you as an orphan, but I will send you another who will lead you into all truth. Jesus gave directions to his disciples. He actually just directed them, governed them how to do, tell them what to do, where to go, where not to go. Constantly. And then when he was about to leave, he now said, I'm not gonna leave you as an orphan, I'm gonna give you another who will. guide you into all truth. So when you think about it, that's what Jesus wants. But the key question here is how many of us, how many believers are on a day-to-day basis asking the Holy Spirit, what would you want me to do? What's your plan for me today? What's your plan for me in this area? All right, you're keeping the questions coming in on the chat. Thank you so much. It says instead of saying what would Jesus do, We should be, let me see, let me show it on the screen. ⁓ that's lovely. I didn't even know I could do this. I'm trying to understand this thing, chat, this app. So you can see that there on your screen. Let me click that again and see. ⁓ So it says, instead of saying what would Jesus do, we should say I do. what I see my father doing just like Jesus said in John, okay I need to live that longer, 20 seconds. I don't read very fast so bear with me. Just like Jesus said in John chapter 5 verse 20, that's absolutely brilliant, ⁓ Amy. He says this is possible by the Holy Spirit so we are guided in real time. So the I

like what you're bringing. You're bringing out a different dimension to this. That we should not just be saying what would Jesus do, but we should be saying what would my father, oh sorry, I'll say that again because I just, it says we should be saying I do what I see my father doing just like Jesus in John chapter five. And the key question here is, what he means bringing up here is very powerful. Jesus said, I don't do anything except what I see my father doing. So instead of us saying, what would Jesus do, we should be saying, I am doing, I should be doing what my father, I see my father do. So if I'm supposed to do what I see my father do, then I need to know what the father is doing. I need to know what the Father is doing. And I believe the only way for us to do that is by reading the Word of God, okay, and then listening to the Holy Spirit, the directions of the Holy Spirit. Let me just say something here before we move any further. I don't think it's possible at all to live any Christ-like lifestyle without this, and this here is the Word of God and the Holy Spirit. Just not possible. Not possible to be like Jesus in terms of our actions and our words and our attitudes and all of those things without reading the word. Reading and understanding his word, of course you can't understand without the Holy Spirit. So I like what you brought up there. So someone is calling in. Let me see. Did I get, I thought someone was calling in. If you want to call in and be part of the show. ⁓ Please do feel free to use the link on the chat. I do drop a link on the chat there. Let me see if I can pin. I'm not able to do it from here. You can use this link on the chat if you want to call in and be part of the show yourself. In terms of be on the video then do so. But if not, if you want to just watch quietly then do so as well on YouTube. So keep the comments coming. on there. Question here. Christ is our wisdom, Christ is our righteousness. Those are the four things I wanna talk about today. And if there's anything you wanna talk about, feel free to talk about, there's a, all right, hey Jason. JJWATSON: Hello? Can you hear me? King James: I can hear you. Well done. Thank you for coming. ⁓ Yeah. You have any question or anything you would like to share? JJWATSON: Praise God. Yeah, it's just, I was thinking on that last thing that was read that obviously the scripture says the Holy Spirit will come and guide us and lead us into all truth. So it's that kind of that good into like all the truth and wisdom and whatever things like that. King James: Yes. Yes, yes. So the Bible says that the Holy Spirit, Jesus said that in John chapter 14 verse, I'll be able to find it very soon. In John chapter 14, Jesus said that the Spirit of God, that He will not leave us alone, but He will send the Holy Spirit who will guide us into all truth. And all truth, like you rightly said, is everything. all true to means both things that we're having to deal with right now in life or

things that even has happened in the past those also futuristic things but the word of God and the everything the Holy Spirit will give us will always be wisdom okay that's one thing we can talk about we can be very sure of that the whole is God will never tell us anything that will not be wise Bible talks about in the book of James he says that But the wisdom from above is first of all peaceful loving and all of those things. Anything that's coming from God will always be full of wisdom. The key question is whether we accept it, believe it and run with it. Yeah, so you're right there. Hello, Jason, I see the, yeah, yeah. JJWATSON: Praise God. Yeah, I'm here. I'm here. Yeah, yeah. So yeah, praise God that I strive to live in that and listen, listen sometimes. You know what I mean? So yeah, praise God. King James: Okay, can I then ask you a question, Jason, while I have you, I don't want to put you on the spot. If you don't want to answer, feel free to say I don't know. Someone is saying there's no audio. Can you hear me, Jason? Someone is saying no audio. Please, I don't know why there's no audio. ⁓ don't... Yeah, anyway, if... Sorry, someone is saying there's no audio, but if I'm not sure... JJWATSON: No, no, it's okay. Now I'm here for you, bro. Thanks, God. Yeah, I can hear you. King James: Please let me know guys, I'll ask if there's audio, because someone is giving me a text there's no audio. Okay, so Jason, what's your experience in terms of being like Jesus? What's your experience of coming to Jesus? How did you come to Jesus? Are you able to share? Since I have you. JJWATSON: Okay, as I come to Jesus, oh, I'll try and keep it very short, innit, you know? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. As I come to Jesus, there, just through... Okay, let me, let me, let me. It's a bit dark in here. Can you see me? Praise God. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, yeah. Yeah, basically just... King James: Yeah, how did you become a child of God? Very short please, so that just in case others want to be part of it. Are you happy to put on your video, are you sure? know? Yeah. Just put on the light and yeah, put on, yeah, that's fine. That's better. Thank you. So, since we're filming, yeah. JJWATSON: lived the worldly life, messed up life and had an encounter with him to keep it short. King James: Sorry to interrupt you, do you mind putting on your room light? Is that okay? It will help us, it will help the video a little bit. JJWATSON: Okay, yeah, no problem. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, sorry. Better? King James: ⁓ that's better. You look cool, by the way. I'm used to seeing you with your hat. ⁓ All right, so just share your testimony of your coming to know Jesus, yeah. JJWATSON: Yeah. ⁓ no, really? So yeah, yeah, pay the loan. ⁓ Yeah, yeah. So, yeah, lived the worldly life, as I said, and, you know, just moved out when I was like 17 and just do lally, keep it short. And then I met my wife, Kay, and like we had Kyle and I was washing up, being still, washing up. And then like all these thoughts come to me of what I've done. And I thought as I get older, they will go away. I thought they would go away, but they don't go away. You know what mean? So was having this experience of like, ⁓ I've done this, I've done that. And then I sensed something in my heart and I felt to cry. And then I was like, ⁓ I just left it, shrugged it off. And then about two, three weeks later, I was washing up again, being still, be still and know that I am God. All right. So I've been still again and then felt that presence in my heart again, then shrugged it off and then... King James: Mm. Yeah. JJWATSON: Two weeks later, a good friend of mine, like a brother, like who grew up with, older man, but he took me in like a mentor when I 16, invited me to church. And I was just like, okay, and I just went home and said, okay, I'm going to church, just went. And the thing is, I always believed when I was a kid, I always believed that Jesus Christ was the son of God, but that was it. King James: Yeah. Mm. Mm. Yeah, why is that? it because of your parents or how did it, were you taken to church or something? JJWATSON: Oh yeah, like my grandma, my grandma, on my dad's side, my grandma, we used to live with her years ago in Finsbury Park when was really young. And we used to go to church and she would sit us down with our rice and peas. And I remember, and we'd watch these like Jesus films. I remember that. She'd sit us down and we'd watch the life of Jesus. And I used to think like, why is this man dying? But that's where that come from, I believe. King James: Mm. Mm. JJWATSON: So I've always believed if someone said to me when I was growing up like, Jesus Christ, I'm like, yeah, that's the son of God, but that's it. I didn't know what that meant or, you know, sorry. King James: Mm. That's interesting. So you've always believed as a child. So when you say that you had to start thinking that you're now beginning to live the life, because I think I have the same kind of story myself. believed as a my mom took me to church. young as possible I could even remember I knew even as early as possible I know some people might struggle with this but as early as I can remember I think maybe around age 10, 11, 12 I've already started speaking in tongues to be honest I've already had the baptism of the Holy Spirit but I did struggle to live the life of Christ you know to be even though I am Christ-like in my spirit as a child maybe but I never really was able to you know JJWATSON: ⁓ wow, yeah, yeah. King James: replicate that in my real life. So I lived rough and lived all kinds of life. Maybe I don't know if that's the same story with you. Is that similar to what you what you experienced? JJWATSON: Mmm. Yeah, yeah. yeah, yeah. So yeah, like had that when I was young, but not living no Christlike life, didn't know what that meant. And then my mom become a Christian when she was young, some point and we used to go with her, like when we moved back

with her. And then ⁓ I just used to go and then she said, you don't have to go anymore. I was like, great. Cause I thought it was boring. Like, do you know what I mean? You know, so then. King James: Mm. Mm. Mm. you JJWATSON: I don't know how old I was, 10 maybe, whatever. And then, yeah, just lived the crazy life. And then when I had that encounter when I'm a older, and then I've been through the wars, keeping it short, proper dark places and things like that, I just started going. And then I was in the process. I didn't say a prayer or anything like that. I just went. And then the week... King James: Mm. Mm-hmm. you Yeah. JJWATSON: A couple of weeks after that I got baptized and then I was just in the process, still living the life, still a bit clubbing, still a bit, but I was going to church on Sunday, you know, things like that. And as I kept drawing near to him, drawing near to me, things just started to melt away and I started to not have desire to do things, do you what mean? And I knew that I loved him, do know what I mean? Yeah, yeah. King James: Mm. Yeah Yeah. This is where it gets interesting about what we're talking about because friends if you're joining I noticed some of you are just coming in and saying hello, hi, Chika, thank you, Chika, should be from Nigeria, hi, that's my sister-in-law, hi, Chika. So some of you who are joining and Daniel, ⁓ Pastor Daniel, hi, Pastor. I hope you got a good sound now. Some of you who have just been joining, the key question I asked from the beginning is the four things we want to talk about. JJWATSON: Thanks, bud. King James: about Christ is our wisdom, Christ is our righteousness, Christ is our life and Christ is our peace. And just even hearing Jason's call and by the way if you want to be part of the conversation more people can call in and we'll have more conversation. There's a link on the comment section there if you use that link either you copy it and post post it on your laptop. then you don't need to download any app. But if you use a phone, it will just ask you to download an app. It's a free app. You can always delete the app afterwards. You could use that and call in and be part of the conversation. But we just want to apply what we're talking about now to that. It's interesting that even though we gave our life to when we give our life to Jesus, we believe in Jesus because that's how we come to Jesus. Bible says by confessing with our mouth. and confessing with our mouth then we are saved. One person does that and that person becomes whether it's a child or an adult does that and genuinely means that Jesus comes into their life. That life now is the life of Christ. The key question here is we are now struggling sometimes to now leave that out in real life. It's our spirit life. This is actually what these things we're talking about. Christ is our life. Now, what we are now supposed to be living is the life of Christ that we already have, but because we have not been taught that. most of us do struggle in those days we didn't understand that. We just think we need to do good so that we can have Him not knowing that we already have Him. He is already our righteousness. He is our life already. We now need to live out that life. That would have empowered us and I don't know for you Jason that's what I know now. I haven't been teaching the Word of God and understand the Word of God that if we were taught properly then no you already have him you already are saved you already are righteous now live out that life does that make sense what I just say explained there JJWATSON: Oh yeah, no yeah yeah um because I think of the early days like I'm only 11 years old in in born-again spirit of God but in the early days like obviously it weren't disciples or anything like that I was just loved this fire, I despised, loved Jesus like and I just kept going to him but and then I would fall over and I'll be like oh no like God don't love me or you know in the early days all this I've done that. King James: Mm. Mm. Yeah. JJWATSON: done this, done that. But as I kept growing and seeking Him through the battle of the enemy, you know what I mean, grinding me, experiencing the love of God, love of Jesus more, like, oh, I am alright, He does love me. I experiencing the Holy Spirit very strongly on times, you know, just by just seeking Him and just reading and what I knew to do then, you know. And that helped me grow. King James: Mm. ⁓ Mm. Yeah, thank you. JJWATSON: like his spirit's helped me grow to who am and I'm still growing to who I'm gone. Amen, you know what mean? yeah. King James: Yeah, that's really good. I don't know. think this is creative love. Let me put up the text that creative love shared. Creative love says in him was life and life and the life was our light. Absolutely. I believe that should be a scripture. I don't know the particular scripture right now that you're quoting there, but in him was life and that life is our life. We want to ask that question. And I wish someone would be able to call in to talk about this because if Jesus is our life, because I'm talking about four things. Jesus is our light. Jesus is our wisdom. Let me just copy that and put in a comment section there so that people can see. No, no, no, that's the wrong thing. Jesus is our wisdom. Jesus is our life. ⁓ Jesus is and Jesus is our peace. ⁓ I want to, when we think of these things, if these things are real and a proper revelation in our lives, I genuinely, genuinely believe with all my heart that the way we deal with life would change drastically. The way we deal with situation, the way we deal with what we're going through in life. will change drastically. So I've just dropped that in the conversation there for people to see. And I would like someone to talk about this. How does this apply to me taking exams? If Christ is my wisdom, how does this apply with to me succeeding at workplace? If Christ is my wisdom, how does this apply to me? ⁓ My health,

if Christ is my life, how does this apply to my mental health? If Christ is my peace? Because This is truth, what we're talking about. These things are truth. And yet many Christians are suffering mental health issues, anxiety, depression, and also all those kinds of things. And yet Christ is our peace. Many Christians are suffering so many things and yet Christ is that. So I feel there's a massive gap. The gap is not the truth of the word of God itself. I think it's something to do with whether we really, really believe this or these are things we just talked about. I wish I have so much time to dwell more on this, but thank you so much Jason for really popping in and just sharing your wonderful testimony about getting to know Jesus. Are there any areas where you would say you're struggling with or you would like to know more about before I let you go since no one else has called in, but I know they are communicating on the text. JJWATSON: Yeah, yeah, sorry, yeah. Praise God. ⁓ Yeah, there's probably loads of errors. can't go on like, there's probably loads. You know what mean? There's probably loads. But what comes to mind is like, what Jesus said clearly, you heard him say it to me, he's like, don't worry about your life or what you're aware. Do you know what mean? Things like that. You know, I struggle with that sometimes and trying to be controlling, but I've seen God do it. Seen Him. He said it to me. And I didn't worry because I was in that, like, I was so uplifted. King James: Mm-hmm. Mm. JJWATSON: And I've seen him move whenever. King James: So you're talking about in the area of God providing for us the provision and things like that, yeah. JJWATSON: Yeah, things like that or you know and then and also like try and control things like you know I try and control food sometimes like then I don't then I do and then I'm like you said it to me What's wrong with me? You know what I mean? Like you know just it's freeing To like give it to Jesus. You know what I mean? Yeah, King James: Mm. Hmm. Yeah, that's absolutely good. So basically what you're talking about is what many people are dealing with. We're talking about trusting God. Jesus, of course, said it very clear. What you quoted there is the words of Jesus in the book of Matthew chapter, I believe chapter six, where it talked about, do not worry about anything, but trust God that God is able to provide for us. If he's able to take care of the lilies of the valley and all of those things, he is able to provide for us. ⁓ JJWATSON: Mm. Yeah, sorry. Yeah, that's right. King James: It's actually a big challenge for us sometimes to believe God and take God by His word. We genuinely ⁓ know that God is able but sometimes we don't know with let me put it this way sometimes people say yes God is able to heal but they don't articulate it all the way down to heal me but they believe that God is able to heal like almost like that's in the air so we don't doubt God's ability to do miracles we don't doubt God's ability to do something great. But when it comes to us, we struggle with it. don't know why sometimes we do that. think sometimes it could be the fact that we think maybe we haven't prayed enough. Maybe we think he's not hearing our voice. Maybe we think the timing is causing it. we need it today and God hasn't done it. Maybe it's something to do with paying rent or paying the bill or JJWATSON: Mm. King James: all that kind of thing and there's a timeline to that and once we're getting closer to that time we start struggling, we start panicking and we start looking for other solutions but all we can do is to hold on to the word of God and just say God is able and keep repeating those words to ourselves over and over that God is able to do it. If he stays it he is able to do it and sometimes he's a test for us to just stand and if we have to JJWATSON: Hmm. King James: fail in the eyes of the people but at least trusting God. Fail trusting God. Let them so be it because that could be God just testing us to see whether we're gonna panic or stand firm and believe him. Thank you so much. I hope that makes sense Jason. Thank you so much for joining. I appreciate you. Yeah, thank you. Thank you man. Yeah, God bless. All right. ⁓ JJWATSON: and Yeah, absolutely. Co-host here bro, maybe. Co-host maybe. We'll think about it. I think you go, so I'll just come out of here then now. You what? Yeah, should I come out? Should I come out? Okay, okay. Love you bro, you're doing a great job. No worries bro, I'm here. Bye bye. King James: We'll talk about that. Thank you so much. Yes, ⁓ thank you so much. Yes, appreciate you. Really, really appreciate. Thank you so much. Yeah. Thank you. Yeah. Alright, Jason is putting his name down for a co-host for this show. As I'm looking, I'm hunting for co-hosts, praying about it, but also hunting for a co-host, maybe I'm going to start an interview. Start an interview for a co-host. God help me. Alright, okay. So leave your comments and let me know what you think about those things I dropped on the comment session. ⁓ If Christ is your life, what does that mean to you? That's what I mean by what would Jesus do or like Amy mentioned earlier, what I do, what I see the Father do. If Christ is my peace, what does that mean? If Christ is my righteousness, what does that mean? Because sometimes we say these things, but we actually do not articulate it properly or apply it properly in our life or even challenge ourself. at least challenge ourselves to say, wow, is this really true? Yeah, so that's from Patricia. Patricia says, let me put it on the screen. Patricia says, true pastor, I believe, yet I struggle at some places. I said it, ⁓ ill, fell, sorry, said, I said will fail and exam till I passed. Okay, so I don't fully understand that maybe it's my reading, but I, if. I'm not sure if I understand it, but I think you you say you fail an exam, probably you fail, but if you say you pass, you pass. think sorry if I didn't

get all of that. But the gist of it, friends, is that if we believe God for something, then we need to stand firm in that. We cannot keep going back on it. Jesus said it that when he, remember when he ⁓ crossed the fig tree? And then disciples say, wow, how did you do that? Jesus said to them, listen, if you speak to the mountain and tell it to be moved, it will actually happen exactly like you say it, but you have to believe and do not doubt. So that's in line with what the question Jason asked or the area Jason say sometimes he's struggling there. Sometimes we trust God for something. but when the time comes or when the push comes to shove we do panic and we start doubting God. Friends, I didn't want to do a recorded stream for the episode 10. I wanted this to be slightly different. I really, really want to apologize for the mess up I had in the beginning. I created a stream link. and was really excited about it thinking we're able to go stream directly with that link but it didn't work so I should have done a bit more work I should have tested it properly before and I didn't so I really want to apologize it we need to do whatever we can to give God our best I gave it time but I still didn't give my best in this so I really want to apologize for that I believe God deserves better ⁓ And I'm not saying that to beat myself up or anything like that. I'm just saying that because I need to do better. If Christ is my wisdom, then I need to apply wisdom. Maybe I should have done it full on. I did a test yesterday, but maybe I should have streamed it. I should have streamed that test to be sure that it was gonna go to the link I wanted. So that's the lesson for me. I believe if Christ is my wisdom, then I'm gonna need to operate in wisdom. this is my. the finale for Becoming Christ Like podcast season one. I'm trusting God from next season. I've got a guest lined up for that. I've got Pastor Jonathan Oyelade coming on on the show and I've got Pastor Gideon Olu coming on as well. I've got this Men of God from Nigeria, here in UK and we'll be talking about different subjects or different things and I would like you to also come online as well to join to watch that. It will not be a live stream. It will be recorded and posted later because of time difference and all of those things with where people are. Some of my guests will be from Alright, let me see. So Pastor King, let me just I'm reading comments. So Pastor King, I will fail the healing exam until I am totally I meant I will fail the healing exam until I'm totally restored. He did it once and he can do it again from stock to walking. from stroke to walking Christian. Amen. Amen. Thank you so much. I just hope, ⁓ my dear Patricia, the fact that we don't see what we're asking God to do also immediately does not also mean that God is. God is not going to do that and I believe God is going to heal us and restore us totally. Sorry, I'm just going to read some few comments. I wanted to stop this by 8.30 so I'm trying to almost round up. It might not be the best live stream guys if it's not forgive me. It's just a finale for this season. I would have loved more people to call in and be part of the show ⁓ physically. like Jason did. Thank you Jason for doing that. From Cheka, Cheka says, let me see if I could put it out of Cheka says, Pastor King, mine is that I started praying against me. Wow, having a double doubtful mind. Could this be a ⁓ hindrance to us experiencing Christ as all these things in our life? As all these things in our life? Yeah, actually. A double-mindedness, know the Bible talks. Thank you for that, Chica. I really appreciate that. That's actually very powerful. What you said there, it says is there something like not having a strong faith? Let's put that up. That's a very good question. Wow, you asked a huge question as I was thinking about ending the show, ending the podcast. But let's answer that because it's very, very important. Is there something like not having a strong faith? Yes. I Jesus did talk about. So let's, I need to explain this carefully because it's important. Bible says that God has given every one of us a measure of faith. ⁓ every child of God has faith. Okay, or else you don't believe in Jesus. If you believe in Jesus, you already have been given faith. Remember the faith that that gives that brings us to salvation is a free gift from God. Okay, hence why our salvation, none of us can boast about it. All right. That's why Bible says that God is giving to each of us a measure of faith. Everyone has faith. Now, sadly, some people don't go further to grow in faith. Okay. Some people don't go further to grow in faith. Some people just stay with that basic faith or the faith that they have now. Let me qualify. Even that faith that we have, and I use the word basic, but it's not the right word. So please, I apologize for that. The measure of faith, the initial faith that God gives every child of God is powerful enough. Hello, hello, Ruben, thanks for joining. That faith, that faith measure of faith, the initial faith that God is giving every child of God is powerful enough. ⁓ move mountains. It is powerful enough to cast out demons. It's powerful enough to heal the sick. It's powerful enough to raise the dead. Why? How do I know that? Because Bible tells us that this sign will follow them who believe in my name they will cast out demons. So Jesus is very clear that every one of his children is able, has the power, has the authority and the power two things there is important authority and power. is almost like the right that right is given to you by God because his Christ has defeated Satan and the power here is the Holy Spirit. Okay so we have the authority and the power to cast out demon to raise the dead to heal the sick and do all of that so that's very very clear. But here's where it gets interesting where your question Chikas becomes very important is there something like not having a strong faith? Yes,

because so many times Jesus said to the disciples, your fate is little. Your fate is small. So many times. So it's not like they didn't have faith. They did have faith. Remember, these same disciples went out, cast out demons, went out, healed the sick, went out, did so many miracles in the name of Jesus when he sent them out in 10 and in 72. But later down the line, you now see when they face a different kind of challenge. like when they face the storm or the wind or different kind of things or when Jesus said to Philip feed this 5,000 people that's something different for them. Now their faith needed to grow to mature further to that place where they could actually apply a stronger faith or maybe the word is not necessarily strong but a mature grow in faith and we know friends there's no way of growing in faith without the entrance of the word of God. In other words, the more we understand God's word, the more we read the Bible, the more we believe God's word, and not just the written word, but also the remer that comes from God, the instructions that God says to me, the more God says to me, for example, if God says to me, lay hands on the sick and they will recover. If I go and obey and lay that hand, and then that happens, guess what? My faith is growing in the instructions that God has given me. I am learning more, I'm growing and getting better. And every now and then God do challenge our faith. Every now and then God sends us to something that we're not used to. That challenge is our faith again. Sometimes a bigger challenge comes. Sometimes something different. It's not even about the challenge. It's just something different. For some people it's just even say, God just challenged you on giving. And just say, yes, you normally give this amount. Now give that amount. I'm like, whoa, you need. That's got challenging our faith. So yes, I like that question. You asked a very, powerful question. Any more questions? Last questions before we end? comments or questions from anyone? And I really, really appreciate all of you who have joined in, regardless of how this streaming started in the beginning. I thank you so much for joining me. If you have any more questions or comments, I'll read out your comments. I will do that. But this is the final... episodes of Becoming Christlike podcast season one. Season two I'm going to now go into interviews next from next week. Hopefully from next week depending on my the my guests. I'm hoping I'll be able to get my guests to sit down with me and talk about Jesus. Hello cluster king. That's from Ruben. Thank you so much Ruben. All right. ⁓ Yes, so Jesus is our wisdom. Jesus is, let me see if I can put that up for us. This is what we've covered today. Jesus, Christ is our wisdom. Christ is our righteousness. Christ is our life and Christ is our peace. I hope that some of these things we're talking, He's our hope as well. There's so many other things I've not talked about today. I was just hoping we could just

look at those other ones. There's clear scriptures for all of these things. Bible tells us Jesus is our peace. He gives us peace of mind. John chapter 14, Ephesians chapter 2 verse 14 says Christ himself has brought peace to us, you know, and made peace with us and God. Bible says in Galatians chapter 2 verse 22 that It says it is no longer I who live but Christ lives in me. So there's clear scriptures. I'm not making these things up. Okay. Amen. That's a good question. I needed to hear that. Thank you, Patricia. All right, guys, I'm going to try and round this up now so I don't keep anyone late on this Thursday evening. But I really appreciate all of you for joining me today. I once again want to apologize for messing up the stream a little bit in the beginning. I once again want to apologize for that. It was a bit of a kind of a nightmare trying to start earlier. I'm not sure if this music is too loud or anything. My outro music. Just working this out with you there. So let me see. Thank you Pastor Kinga, really appreciate that. Thank you once again. Thank you for staying with me friends, all of you who are watching. really appreciate this. If you're not subscribed to the channel, do subscribe. Also do share and I will look forward to next week. Let me know, maybe can you drop in the comment section? Let me just ask you a question before I leave today because I think it will even be a lot more easier for me. If I, when I do not have a guest to interview, would you prefer this style? So we're just asking now to you, my audience, my friends, and family, would you prefer this style, live streaming, or the way I normally do, which I do a teaching session or give us practical steps and things like that? Do leave that on the comment section. Let me know what you prefer. If you prefer this style that... engages all everyone and gets comments and gets questions and we answer it that I'll do that more often because actually it's not not easier but it's it saves me doing editing that's like I must tell you that that's the truth it will save me doing any editing ⁓ so let me know on the comment maybe before I just end the show the end of podcast is it easier doing this this way. you so much. Someone said thank you, Pastor King. Thank you so much as well. Yeah, let me know on the, either you just drop a comment or a thumbs up to let me know, would you prefer me doing live streams style like this or like I did episode one to nine when I don't have guests? Let's see. I'll give you a few minutes. Yeah. All right. Someone said, Hey, Pastor King, it's hard to choose. Sorry. Hello my dear friend. Pastor, bless you sir. I'm going to need to get you on the show soon. He says I prefer the teaching. ⁓ Former, former, ⁓ I prefer the former teaching style. Pastor Harkin. ⁓ get ready to come on the show. We need to talk very soon so we need to come on the show. It shouldn't be just texting. Okay, someone said a mixed approach would be beneficial. I think I like that. I

like a bit of both because sometimes there might be a subject that God wants me to just I feel like God wants me to explain and just give practical steps to and I'll do that. but I promise you it takes a lot of editing, but I'm happy to do it. It's, it's, it's for the kingdom's purpose. ⁓ someone's, yeah, so, someone said a mixed approach is beneficial. Okay, that's good. ⁓ let's see, one more person. I love it. I love this way, livestream. Patricia, yeah. I think one thing about livestream is that I feel like I'm chatting with people. makes it daft. It's much more fun to me. And I feel a bit more relaxed. must say, the reason why I feel a bit more relaxed, I don't care about making a mistake. I'm all over the place. I've made so many mistakes in this show, especially in the beginning, but it doesn't matter because it's life. So someone else said, yes, someone else said, live streams. Okay. Well. Okay, I get the message. So some prefer livestream, some prefer a little bit of both. So we'll do, we'll go as the spirit leads, okay? But whenever I send out a link, I'm going to try and work this out better, friends. It was horrible what happened this morning, not this morning, this evening. Set up the link and shared it with everyone and ⁓ all of that and the link didn't work. anyway, thank you so much again for joining me. I really, really appreciate you. My love goes to all of you. I don't know if you guys, if you don't mind, I think we should just pray. This is ⁓ about becoming Christ like this. I'm not doing a podcast for the sake of doing podcasts. know, I have here on my screen, I don't know if I'm able to show you. I have this on my screen just to remind me. I have this on my screen here. I have it always positioned. Why do I keep having? keep that, get it printed out and positioned. It's to remind me I'm not doing this for the sake of doing show. I'm not trying to become famous by doing podcasts. God made it very clear to me this is not a podcast, this is a ministry. So I'm doing this just to be a blessing to the body of Christ and to help us be more like Jesus one step at a time. Take note of the word, us. I'm not there yet. Now we are Christ-like already in our spirit but we need to live out the life of Christ in a day-to-day practice so and we can only do that in community we're helping one another. Bible says in the book of Hebrews chapter 10 verse 25 let us think of ways 24 and 25 let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good work. So I believe in that sense of community. So anything we can do to encourage each other to be more like Jesus one step at a time, do it. Whatever capacity you can. Some will be podcasts, some will be teaching from the pulpit, some will be just whatever, send a text, share, take a very video like this and send to someone. But let's keep encouraging one another to be like Jesus. Let's make sure we are intentionally challenging one another to grow. ⁓ Because if we don't, we settle. ⁓ Every one of us have that potential just to That's why it's very good to to church. That's why it's very good to be part a fellowship. That's it's very good to be involved ⁓ with brothers, to meet up with people, have coffee with fellow Christians, sit down and chat. ⁓ talk about Jesus, even if you don't talk about Jesus, talk about football, but at least you're talking with fellow Christians and you're challenging one another to acts of love and good works. With that in mind and with no other comments, I would let me see if there's any last comment and if not, I would leave it here for now because I was supposed to stop at 8.30 although I started a bit late. ⁓ I really appreciate all of you. ⁓ Thank you so much for me. See you sometime next week. Hopefully Thursday next week. ⁓ already edited version ⁓ with interview ⁓ or a live stream. if ⁓ guest was not ready, I'll a live stream ⁓ and I hope you'll be to join me once again. Thank you everyone. ⁓ Like, ⁓ share and subscribe if haven't done that and ⁓ keep staying in love with Jesus. Thank you, everyone. I really appreciate you ⁓ See you same time next week. God bless.
