08:46them baby subjects when I when I do them
08:49I pray and I hope it's a great help and
08:51a blessing in your life um to give it a
08:54title we have given it the name of God's
08:58Solutions
09:00versus Human Solutions God's Solutions
09:04versus Human Solutions or God's
09:08Solutions and Human
09:11Solutions every single one of us every
09:14single human being that has walked on
09:16the face of this Earth and will walk on
09:18the face of this Earth will at at one
09:21time in their life if not most of the
09:23time face difficulties problems and
09:27issues problems issues and difficulties
09:30that is the life that we live on
09:35earth and as Christians there's two ways
09:38to go about this but us as Christians as
09:41Sons and Daughters of Jesus Christ of
09:44Nazareth we have two options and the
09:47better option is to follow God's
09:48Solutions but we know for a fact that
09:52the currents of this world and the life
09:54we live and what we get exposed to
09:57sometimes we do Drift Away from the Lord
10:00and we intend to use our human intellect
10:03our Human Solutions to try and get out
10:06of our difficulties but the Lord he is
10:10that loving father who is always calling
10:13his sons and daughters back home to tell
10:16them that I am your father come back and
10:19let me show you the way that you should
10:21be facing these difficulties I always
10:24say one thing that both the believer in
10:29Jesus Christ who is a Christian and the
10:32non-believer in Christ both are exposed
10:35to the same difficulties to the same
10:38issues but the one who has Christ can
10:41overcome these
10:43difficulties for the Holy Bible says
10:45that we become like eagles he renews our
10:49wings we've spoken before about the
10:52characteristics of eagles and how they
10:55can SAR High when there's difficulties
10:58and this is also so the characteristic
11:00of a true Christian someone who follows
11:02Christ in their life and applies his
11:06teachings and lives by them day by day
11:10he becomes like that eagle he is faced
11:13with difficulties yet through trust and
11:16faith he's able to soar High over these
11:19difficulties it is Christ who helps us
11:22to get over these difficulties so coming
11:25back to today's subject is God's
11:27solution versus
11:30Human Solutions and how do we as
11:34Christians handle these difficulties and
11:39problems and
11:42the not funny but the more serious side
11:45of it also is that it is not only us as
11:48um simple Christians who use human
11:52solution sometimes even the greatest
11:54peoples people in the Holy Bible some of
11:57the Saints some of the prophets
11:59Retreat it to Human
12:02Solutions and we will take some examples
12:05and see how these great prophets some of
12:08them what they did how they use Human
12:10Solutions and where it led
12:14them number one it's the very first
12:17example that we're going to use is
12:19Father
12:21Ibrahim he is the father of All fathers
12:23he is the prophet of all prophets and he
12:27was promised by God that he will have a
12:29son that he will have a son and he will
12:32call his name Isaac yet father Ibrahim
12:36hearing God's voice and God's
12:39promise he retreated went back and used
12:43Human Solutions by the help of Sarah of
12:46course is always a female
12:51involved Sarah couldn't wait Abraham
12:54couldn't wait for God's
12:56promise it was taking too long
13:00they thought yes God has spoken but we
13:03are old in age we need a quick fix a
13:06solution for this so what did she do she
13:09gave him hagga one of the servants for
13:12him to
13:14take as a wife and have a child through
13:18her and Ishmael came Isaac didn't come
13:22Ishmael came out of this solution this
13:26solution this plan uh this human
13:30intellect gave them that quick solution
13:33but was this God's promise was God's
13:36blessing and Promises in
13:39Ishmael Isaac had to come so we see
13:42Father Abraham using this human solution
13:46and fixing it his way not God's
13:54way after
13:56Ishmael it was not enough he went ahead
14:00and she gave him the next servant which
14:02her name was
14:05catura and catura brought many children
14:08not just one like hega if you read in
14:11Genesis you read Abraham again took a
14:14wife and her name was catura and she
14:16bore him zran Jan Medan Midian isbc and
14:23shahu sorry for my pronoun
14:26pronunciations but these names are very
14:28difficult so so she did not only bring
14:30one child she brought many children but
14:34again was this God's plan for them did
14:38God bless any of these children did God
14:40say that he was going to bless them
14:42through these children and this is a
14:45human way we intend to use our own
14:50intellect when we are faced with a
14:52problem even when we hear God's voice
14:54saying to us that I will deliver you
14:58then we we still use Human Solutions and
15:01as we saw this lady she brought forth
15:04lot of
15:05results but quantity didn't
15:09matter this great result did not matter
15:12because God's blessing was not in this
15:15solution God's blessing was not in
15:27it we take a human example maybe a man
15:31who is married or a woman who's married
15:36and they may have difficulties bringing
15:39forth
15:41children sometimes the male may think if
15:44I divorce my wife and find someone else
15:47that can give me children that's a
15:50better solution for me because I want
15:52kids human intellect divorcing his wife
15:57marrying someone else using his own
15:59Human Solutions to bring forth
16:02children but who says my dear friend
16:06that when you do it on your own it's
16:08going to be a blessing in your life it
16:10could be a curse in your
16:12life how do you know that the wife that
16:14God has given you and you're not having
16:17any children there's a plan for God why
16:19he's stopping that so let us not force
16:23things and use our own ways and
16:26Solutions in life to force
16:29the solution to get a result out of the
16:32difficult situation that we are faced
16:36with Abraham was not only caught up with
16:39this we can call it a sin or listening
16:41to his own wife his own Human Solutions
16:45but also the
16:46second time that he repeated it in human
16:49nature sometimes we never learned from
16:52the first lesson it takes another lesson
16:54and another lesson and God repeats The
16:57Taste for us why does he repeat it
17:00because he wants us to overcome it when
17:03we overcome it through faith then he
17:06will say you have graduated from level
17:08one now I'll take you to the second
17:11level but if we keep failing the first
17:13test that the same test is going to keep
17:16repeating the second area is when he was
17:20traveling with Sarah and they were
17:22entering into different kingdoms and he
17:25said to Sarah do not say that you are my
17:28wife say that you are my
17:31sister least they find you beautiful and
17:35they will kill me he was trying to save
17:38his life with a lie he was trying to
17:41save his life with a lie instead
17:44of relying on God's solution God's
17:49protection and how many times do we do
17:53that in life how many times we are faced
17:56with sometimes not even as great
17:58difficulty as father Ibraham that his
18:01life was
18:02online he could have been dead so he
18:05used a lie to save his life sometimes it
18:07is the smallest things in life whether
18:09at work uni day-to-day life and we just
18:14lie so easily about it use a quick fix
18:17it just to get out of the problem yet
18:20the solution the human solution of
18:23Ibrahim later on the king found out that
18:26he had lied to him
18:28you know it brought it brought greater
18:30troubles for him he was kicked out of
18:33the Kingdom him and his wife and many
18:36more difficulties he faced through it
18:38for using his own human
18:43intellect Godly Solutions Human
18:46Solutions so we're continuing with these
18:48simple examples just to get give us an
18:51understanding what we mean and what is
18:53the
18:56difference something about human Human
18:59Solutions they bring about
19:02quick human plans or ways they bring
19:06about quick Solutions quick fix it but
19:10they intend to last a short time and
19:12lead to Greater difficulties and bigger
19:15problems in
19:16life they're quick they bring forth
19:19results but they have no blessings it
19:22leads that person to Greater problems to
19:26Greater problems and we saw the example
19:28of Ibrahim and Cur bringing forth lot of
19:31kids lot of results but there was no
19:33blessings in none of the kids there was
19:35no
19:37blessing Rebecca the wife of Isaac is
19:40another example Rebecca the wife of
19:45Isaac she tricked her husband Isaac to
19:49make him
19:50bless Jacob and Jacob participated in
19:55this again in this human solution
19:58particip ated with his mother in this
20:02human
20:04solution are you guys hot sorry I can
20:06see some people you're good it's not
20:11H Rebecca the wife of Isaac and Jacob
20:17her son participated in this human
20:19solution what was the solution is that
20:23Isaac wanted to bless his older son
20:26Ishmael and the mother Rebeca heard him
20:30so she quickly told him to prepare a
20:33lamb and she put the wool on his hand to
20:37make him feel and sound like Ishmael so
20:41that Isaac who had grown old whose
20:44eyesight was you know um going backwards
20:47he could not see clearly so she tricked
20:51Isaac her
20:52husband to bless Jacob Jacob also
20:56participated in this human
20:59ways and we saw the results that took
21:02place yes number one he was
21:05blessed but what happened next to him we
21:09see the suffering that he went through
21:10because of this Earthly
21:13ways he later later on he had to escape
21:16where did he escape to he escaped to his
21:18uncle
21:20laan he escaped to his uncle far away
21:24from his family for over 20 years he
21:28worked very hard for seven
21:31years the first seven years to marry
21:35Rachel then Rachel wasn't his then he
21:38had to work another seven years to marry
21:41Rachel because the first time his uncle
21:44also tricked him using human ways he
21:47tricked him with with Leah thinking that
21:50he was going to marry Jacob thinking
21:51that he was going to marry Rachel the
21:53one he
21:55loved but ended up being Leah
22:00and his uncle said if you want the
22:01second one then you must work another
22:03seven years 14 years he had to work for
22:06Leah and
22:07Rachel for Leah and Rachel and you see
22:11the result of him forcing God's
22:14Solutions using his own intellect his
22:17own ways in life how it set him more
22:20backwards and sometimes we
22:23question and we think where have I gone
22:26wrong in life why am I why are my
22:29problems just becoming bigger and bigger
22:31and
22:32bigger we need to come back to the Lord
22:35and sit with the Lord and see have we
22:37been using our human intellect our human
22:41quick
22:42fixed solving
22:44problem on my own ways my own
22:48intellect he struggled for 14 years he
22:52did
22:52that and this was not enough again the
22:55second lesson for him he did not learn
22:57what did he do
23:01he went to his uncle and said I've
23:04worked for you for 14 years it's time
23:06for me to
23:07depart um and you have not really given
23:10me anything for the wages that I have
23:12worked for you and his uncle said to him
23:15what would you like me to give to you so
23:18he said to him well I'll go through your
23:21sheep and gods any sheep and God that is
23:25spotted not you know the Sheep not being
23:28fully white if there's any spots on them
23:31I will take them and the white ones you
23:34can keep and his uncle thought this is a
23:37good idea so he allowed him to do that
23:39he said yes you can do that what did
23:41Jacob do some people are shaking their
23:43head that's good that means you've been
23:44reading your Bible I'm glad that you're
23:47doing that what did he do he went to the
23:50streams of water where the sheep and
23:53goats used to go and drink um he got a
23:57piece of um wood simply speaking and you
24:00know the wood is brown but when you cut
24:02it you can peel it and you can see white
24:05in it so what he started doing he
24:07started cutting it making a white piece
24:10a brown piece white piece Brown piece
24:12and putting it in the streams of water
24:14for the sheep and go to drink and when
24:17they came to conceive they were
24:19conceiving all spotted you know their
24:22skin was all spotted so he gained a lot
24:26of sheep and goats he became very Rich
24:28because of that again was this God's
24:32blessing for him this was a human
24:35solution a quick way of getting
24:40rich apply that in our today's
24:44life do people do that yes but
24:47completely different it's no longer
24:49goats and
24:50sheep it's now money cars
24:55houses taxes
24:58insurance
25:01jobs dodgey
25:05ways I'll leave that with you but there
25:08is many ways a human uses his own ways
25:12and he says oh thank God of you know
25:14I've got a good life thank God what do
25:17you have is it truly from God or was it
25:20your
25:21own thinking the way of life you were
25:24handling your life the way you wanted
25:27and gaining advantages
25:29is but the sad part of it it never
25:32lasts when you build on Sand like that
25:36how long can you go on with it a day or
25:38two do you sleep comfortably at night
25:41did Jacob sleep comfortably at night
25:43probably not when he was traveling back
25:46his uncle chased him he almost killed
25:49him right and then he started begging
25:53God to bless him see when when we go
25:55through hardship we learned the hard
26:00way why don't we come to the Lord the
26:03easy
26:05way but we choose to do it our own way
26:08then when we fall into problems we run
26:10to
26:12God you'll be forever telling maybe your
26:15sister your brother your friend come to
26:17church come to church no no no I'm busy
26:21I'm busy with my friends I'm buy busy
26:23with my life a priest goes knocking on
26:25people's
26:26doors he meets the parents and it is
26:31the teenagers and the Young Generation
26:35that the priest wants to see so he can
26:37invite them to church but they are the
26:39first ones to run to their rooms and
26:42hide hide away from who a human we are
26:46running away from God and God is a
26:49loving father he says it's okay my son
26:51it's okay my daughter you can go into
26:54your room and you can close your door
26:56but I can see through walls I can see
26:58through your eyes your
27:00heart and I can do it the simple way the
27:04loving way the humble way but if that
27:07doesn't work my love will force me to do
27:11it the hard way with you my love will
27:15force me to do it the hard way with
27:18you a bit of a slap an ear pull and
27:22maybe that child will wake up it's
27:25better to get a slap and a ear pull than
27:28being totally destroyed Into Darkness
27:31true I'd rather get a slap than you know
27:35have my leg broken or something like
27:37that yeah so we need to come to the Lord
27:40so Jacob started learning the hard way
27:44he was doing things from a young age and
27:47it teaches us the influence of mothers
27:50and fathers as well on their
27:52kids the influence of the mother led him
27:56to be a cheeky boy a tricky
27:58boy true he saw it from his mother
28:02tricking his dad and he thought you know
28:04what this is the way of life I'll just
28:07continue doing this and I'll Prosper on
28:09this Earth so be careful mom and dad
28:13what are we teaching our Young
28:15Generation what are you doing in front
28:17of your children or even your
28:20teenagers when they come to you with
28:22their problems if they're in need of
28:25money maybe they've been using it the
28:27wrong way but how you solve it as Mom
28:30and Dad can have a big impact on how
28:33they going to solve their own problems
28:35in the
28:36future how they going to solve their own
28:39problems in the future so when they grow
28:42old when they 30 and they start doing
28:44the wrong thing and falling into
28:46problems yes that is their own mistake
28:49but Mom and Dad you also need to think
28:52how did you raise that child how did you
28:55raise that teenager
28:58not only raising him or how did you live
29:00your life in front of him how did you
29:02act when you were faced with
29:03difficulties did you act behave as a
29:07Christian or did you take things
29:11problems and solve it your own ways and
29:14they're watching all this time so Jacob
29:17learned in the school of mom
29:19unfortunately mom's school at this
29:22time wasn't so good may the Lord bless
29:25every mom and every dad and there is
29:27great moms and dads and even the ones
29:30who are having difficulties raising
29:32their children come to the Lord these
29:35teenagers your kids are gift from God
29:39they're a gift from God and what you do
29:42with them and what you teach them is a
29:44gift back to
29:47God and you yourself as well you're a
29:50gift from God and what you do with
29:52yourself how do you give it back how do
29:54you give back this gift to God do you
29:57want to give it back in in a beautiful
29:58way or do you take the gift and destroy
30:01it and bring it back in
30:03pieces yet God is so loving even when
30:06you bring it back destroyed chopped into
30:09pieces God still says doesn't matter
30:12bring it back and I'll put it together
30:14bring yourself back you've been walking
30:17according to your own ways and
30:20understandings and your life feels like
30:23it's all broken into pieces because
30:25you've been doing it your own way God
30:27says
30:28my door is always open for you I will
30:32always put it back for you I will always
30:35put it back to
30:37you so Jacob suffered a lot he ran away
30:41from home worked for 14
30:46years suffered greatly for 20 years
30:48being away from home because God's
30:51blessings were not with him during this
30:54the beginning of his life later on we
30:56see yes he is blessed by God because he
30:58returns to
31:00God in fact he asks the Lord for a
31:03blessing and the Lord ends up breaking
31:05his hip because he was soon to meet with
31:07his brother who wanted to kill him and
31:11there was a great army with his
31:13brother awaiting him because he stole
31:16his blessings so he wanted to kill
31:19him he prayed all night
31:22long and he
31:24said he held on to that angel and and
31:28the angel broke his hip what a great
31:30blessing I come to you Lord and I ask
31:33you for blessing and you give me a
31:35broken
31:37hip but the brightness that comes from
31:40God is a solution that we can never
31:44understand in our difficulties when we
31:48come to God and sometimes we may think
31:50it's not working out it's only getting
31:52worse be patient be patient because
31:56whatever is happening God's preparing
31:58something for you what happened with
32:00Jacob his hip was broken now the next
32:03day his brother was was was coming and
32:06he had probably 300 Soldiers with him to
32:10kill
32:11him so when Jacob started walking
32:14towards them his brother looked and he
32:16saw
32:17Jacob walking limping and very weak it
32:22caused his brother to forget about
32:25everything that he had against him he
32:27felt sorry for him so instead of killing
32:30him he went and hugged
32:32him and asked him brother what's wrong
32:35with you so God's when he works in our
32:39life even though sometimes it may feel
32:41like he's breaking me and many times
32:44most of the times when we walk with the
32:46Lord it feels like we are always being
32:48broken day by day but this breaking he's
32:52shaping you up to face your
32:56future to face what's coming in the
32:59future so trust in his
33:04plans as a young man maybe you're faced
33:06with a difficulty maybe there's an army
33:09coming towards you because maybe you've
33:11mixed with the wrong people maybe you've
33:13taken money from people who are not
33:17walking in the light who's who are
33:19walking in
33:21darkness and you've reached a stage in
33:24your life where you cannot face these
33:26people any longer all human intellect
33:29has stopped you've been using it for
33:30years and years and years and you've
33:32been running from a place to a place to
33:34a place and can't see me you're getting
33:37nowhere you're getting nowhere just like
33:40Jacob there's an army coming for you
33:43what did Jacob do he prayed all night he
33:46was struggling the Holy Bible said he
33:49was struggling with the angel he was
33:51praying this is what we need to do this
33:53is what you you need to do whatever
33:56you're facing and as said every single
33:59one of us every single one of us we are
34:02always facing difficulties and we always
34:05have two roads two ways in front of us
34:08solve it the quick way and continue
34:11suffering or trust in God's plans and
34:14follow him for a
34:17blessing I always
34:20say that two ways as we said both ways
34:23have sufferings in
34:25them but as a Christian
34:28we and you rather suffer working for the
34:32Lord following Christ than suffer in the
34:36world true some people walk away from
34:40the Lord use again their own intellect
34:43and they start to suffer in life because
34:45of their own faults their own
34:49problems the all their own way of
34:52living quick solution of getting rich
34:54quick doing the wrong
34:56things leads them to suffer in life end
34:59up in you know in jail and debts and
35:02problems so that's suffering and also
35:05the person who's following Christ and
35:07doing the right thing he may be faced
35:10with problems and sufferings but we
35:12would rather suffer for the sake of
35:14Christ then suffer for the sake of the
35:17world and this world teaches us all the
35:20time what what do they teach us they
35:22teach us the quick fixes
35:25solution they want everything quick and
35:28this is how we have become as Christians
35:31because we have been exposed too much to
35:34the world too much to the
35:37world a piece of metal you put it out in
35:40the weather you know it's sanded it's
35:42painted it's beautiful but once you put
35:45it out under the weather because of the
35:48storms the wind the rain the Sun what
35:52happens to that metal if you don't
35:54maintain it soon the paint will faint
35:59away and rust will start taking over
36:03just like a
36:04Christian we are exposed in the
36:08world and if we leave ourselves all the
36:11time out in the world we are always
36:13faced with this different weather the
36:15Sun the difficulties of
36:18Life a house you have to always maintain
36:21it from the outside otherwise it's going
36:24to get damaged so us Christians we have
36:27to always come back to the Lord and
36:29remind ourselves that which way should I
36:32choose in life and believe me it is not
36:36easy to do sometimes because sometimes
36:38you don't even understand or we don't
36:41our intellect is not that strong to
36:44Fathom to understand that what I'm faced
36:46with we forget and think that ah this
36:50solution I don't need God what do I what
36:52do you mean do I need to go and pray to
36:53ask God to you know apply for this Joy
36:58or get married to Rachel or Leah I need
37:01to bring Rachel and Leah and write it on
37:03a piece of paper and give it to the
37:04priest and the priest will put it on the
37:07Altar and hopefully their dad will not
37:09trick me and give me leup before
37:12Rachel so we need as Christians because
37:16we are exposed to the world to the
37:18weather we get rusted and this is what
37:20happens when we get rusted we forget
37:23about God God's Solutions and his ways
37:26and His blessings
37:28his way and solution is slow is very
37:33slow because God is not quick to act
37:37he's slow because in that journey of
37:39being slow and Silent he wants to teach
37:42us see when we
37:45rush we miss all the lessons in
37:49life someone who wants to be you know
37:52graduate from high school uni and all he
37:56thinks about is what business business
37:57can I do what can I do to get rich
38:00quickly he may get the results quickly
38:03but it will all fall away very quickly
38:05as well many people wanted to become
38:09rich very
38:10quickly many great people many faithful
38:14people you they prospered in the right
38:16way but who says that this quick Get
38:20Rich scheme is going to be good for you
38:24a blessing in your
38:25life especially they younger ones who
38:28think that they look at people who are
38:30doing it well they've got a business
38:34believe me many
38:37families many
38:40friendships when God has become money
38:43for
38:44them when their God has become money
38:47have destroyed their families have
38:49destroyed their life have destroyed
38:51their families their marriages their
38:54life because when I don't take it easy
38:57and slow with God who's teaching me as I
39:00go I rush in life and I get exposed to
39:03things that I'm not ready
39:05for I'm not ready for that
39:10192021 when he's got a million
39:14dollar he's very inexperienced what do
39:18you think is is he going to do with it
39:20what has he been watching all this time
39:22all these Hollywood movies who show him
39:25you know living luxury and living in sin
39:28is the way to go so he's going to rush
39:30into it even as a husband a wife who've
39:33got children all of a sudden God has you
39:36know maybe Blessed them or he has chosen
39:39to do certain things and he's gone Rich
39:42all of a
39:43sudden you know we pray for all families
39:45but all of a sudden because of the love
39:47of money has caused them to divorce
39:51because he no longer has time for that
39:53family so God knows what is good for us
39:56he is slow to
39:58yet us as human we want things quickly
40:02and we want it now and this is again
40:05because we have been exposed all this
40:07time to the world and this is what the
40:08world teaches you and when we say the
40:10world
40:11I.E away from him Satan himself because
40:15he wants you to rush quickly quickly
40:18quickly in life but God wants you to
40:20slow down to enjoy your life to breathe
40:24in and
40:25out see what's going on around you
40:28before you miss the
40:43mark sometimes we can liken the solution
40:47of the world to a
40:49doctor who gives us I don't know if I'm
40:52pronouncing this right cortisone the
40:55injection cortisone
40:58and sometimes this injection with all my
40:59love and respect to doctors sometimes it
41:02gets used by inexperienced doctors young
41:05doctors because what does it do it's a
41:08quick fix it solution when someone has
41:11any pain and he's not finding the
41:13solution for it this inexperienced
41:15doctor will give you that cortisone
41:19injection right to quickly fix that pain
41:24it's a quick fix and for that person he
41:26thinks
41:28this doctor is the greatest doctor on
41:30the face of
41:32Earth but this injection I'm not a
41:35doctor don't listen to me but from what
41:37I understand this injection has side
41:41effects and the wise doctors who are
41:44very
41:45experienced they don't use this they use
41:48many other ways and it is one of the
41:51last solutions they will offer because
41:54why they are experienced and they don't
41:57want want to harm that patient yet the
41:59inexperienced doctor he runs to this
42:02quick solution and gives that injection
42:05so this is what we can compare that to
42:08our quick solution fix it that it may
42:11fix it quickly but you will be faced
42:14with bigger problems in life for example
42:18a person who has a gambling solution uh
42:21sorry a gambling problem not a
42:23solution we want gambling Solutions but
42:26we are faced with problem first so a
42:29person who has gambling Solutions he
42:31wastes all his money on
42:33gambling now he needs money to eat and
42:37drink the next morning he's he's got his
42:39pay gone to the club you know and the
42:42pokeys whatever he's gone to Star City
42:46he's wasted all his wages now next day
42:50he needs petrol to travel to work so
42:52what does he do he Rings a friend of his
42:56lend me a,
42:58he takes the money again puts a bit of
43:01petrol and forever he's going backwards
43:03cuz he's always asking people for money
43:06money money money he's trying to fix the
43:09solution with another problem yes so in
43:15time he's now in debt 50 100,000 and
43:18he's always going backwards and
43:20backwards backwards so that quick fix it
43:24did it really fix it no it made the
43:27problem bigger and
43:29bigger and these problems can lead a
43:31person very dangerously to very dark
43:34alleys my beloved very dark Ellies if
43:36they are not fixed at the
43:39start so that cortisone shot that
43:42quickly fixes a problem is probably not
43:44the solution for you my beloved that
43:47using
43:48my own
43:50intellect I need to bring it to the Lord
43:53and see what the Lord wants to do so I
43:56can Beed blessed through
43:58it another example is Moses the
44:03prophet Moses as you know can I see a
44:06shaking of head who knows
44:09Moses yeah
44:1180% that's good other one you need to
44:13read up about
44:15Moses where do you find him in which
44:17book in the
44:24Bible there's different answers
44:28all right
44:30Moses who said
44:33Exodus
44:35correct um Moses the prophet for the
44:39first 40 Years of his
44:41life he was in the Kingdom of pharaoh he
44:45was Tau by an Earthly King for the first
44:4840 Years of his
44:50life when he found an Egyptian he killed
44:53an Egyptian and he ran away he killed an
44:57Egyptian and he ran away because of
45:00killing that Egyptian I don't want to go
45:01into details and spend too much time on
45:04explaining the story this is why it
45:06benefits you my beloved when you read
45:08the Holy Bible so that when the fathers
45:11his grace are standing and preaching
45:13When you mention a name of a prophet a
45:16verse in the Bible you automatically
45:18know what the background story is to it
45:20is so that's why it helps for us to read
45:23our Holy Bible but Moses for the first
45:2640 years is was not very humble was not
45:29very trusting in the Lord because for a
45:32man to kill another man that shows that
45:34he's not very humble he was doing it his
45:37own way his own Macho way yes he killed
45:41an Egyptian and he ran away this was his
45:45own human solution but look what
45:48happened to him when he ran away and for
45:5040
45:53years spend it in the desert with God
45:59how slow was that 40 years it took God
46:02to change Moses's heart to make him to
46:06shape him up the man that he wants him
46:08to
46:11be first 40 years he was under a king
46:15and he grew up in the castle of the king
46:17an Earthly King but the next 40 years he
46:21grew up and he studied with the King of
46:23Kings the Lord of lords Jesus Christ God
46:28yes the first 40 years living Earthly
46:32ways taught him how to be tough and take
46:35somebody else's life yet the next 40
46:38years living with God teaching him how
46:42to be humble teaching him how to be
46:46silent teaching him how to accept
46:49difficulties teaching him how to be
46:52patient none of these the Earthly King
46:56could teach him
46:58just like us how old are we the question
47:01I could be 30 40 50 60 70 living under
47:06an Earthly king of this
47:08world what have I learned for all these
47:11years and where has this life led me
47:15where has it led me I need to come out
47:18of that just like Moses come out and run
47:21to the
47:22desert and don't go tomorrow running to
47:25Blue Mountains or into some
47:27desert in South Australia and saying
47:29father George said run to the
47:31desert the desert can be the church the
47:35desert can be that room the Inner Room
47:37of your heart that room that you have in
47:40your house the place where you find it
47:43comfortable sitting one onone with the
47:45Lord sitting in
47:49silence many voices we hear in life
47:5324/7 even sometimes these days there is
47:57too many preachings as well all over the
48:00Internet
48:02and a small lesson advice to you don't
48:06go always looking for from a preacher to
48:08a preacher to Googling answers about the
48:11Bible it will only make you more
48:13confused stick to one stick to two maybe
48:17stick to the same church that you're
48:19attending build your spiritual life your
48:22Christian Life in that
48:24place build it there
48:27when you go from place to place from
48:29preacher to preacher and always Googling
48:31ah this is good not good it becomes a
48:34storm in your mind and the enemy can use
48:36that as well it's not about how many
48:39preachings I have heard it's how much
48:42have I applied from the preaching
48:43there's great Saints in the church who
48:47heard one verse and they based their
48:50life on that verse and they tried living
48:53only that verse and they became Saints
48:56yet yet myself and every single one of
48:59you here we probably read so much and
49:01listen so much yet we apply so little in
49:04our
49:05life but when we apply one small verse
49:09in the Bible it can help us a great way
49:11so that desert is not literally you
49:13don't have to go to South Australia or
49:15the Blue Mountains go to the mountains
49:18that desert starts here at the
49:21church that desert is the room that you
49:24choose at home to read your Bible and
49:26sit some sometimes in silence it's
49:28beautiful it's not
49:30easy because as soon as you sit and you
49:33become silent and you say I'm going to
49:35contemplate on the Lord you
49:38see all the
49:41thoughts and you know what you have been
49:44doing the last 10 years or something
49:46you've done 30 years 40 years ago all of
49:48a sudden it comes into your mind and you
49:50get occupied with it one piece of advice
49:53when you go into that room when you come
49:54into the church leave your mobiles in
49:56your cars when you're going into your
49:59prayer room leave your mobile outside
50:01and make sure either switch it off or
50:04keep it silent because you're probably
50:05sitting there trying to contemplate on
50:08the Lord and the next thing you you hear
50:11tweet tweet and you start thinking oh
50:14I've got a message I wonder who that is
50:16it's probably so and so telling me to go
50:19out for dinner now all the s and you
50:21were sitting with the Lord all you're
50:22thinking
50:23is restaurant stay
50:27chips
50:29music the club so make sure you put it
50:32on silent and run into that desert
50:34because it's only in that desert and
50:36that silent that God can work with you
50:40like Moses 40 years Earthly King ended
50:44up killing someone but Moses after 40
50:51years became the humblest person on the
50:55face of Earth
50:58and they started doing it God's way not
51:01his own way
51:02anymore not his own
51:07way are we on track simple enough we're
51:11understanding what's going
51:12on God's solution versus Human
51:16Solutions Peter one of the
51:20Apostles walking with Christ an
51:23eyewitness we call him with Christ
51:25seeing Christ perform all the Miracles
51:28and on the night when our Lord and
51:30savior in Gethsemane when the armies
51:33were come to capture the Lord and he had
51:36pre-warned the Apostles of what was
51:39going to take
51:41place when the soldiers
51:43came Peter looks like he had not learned
51:48his lessons all that time every time the
51:50Lord rebuked him for trying to use his
51:53own human intellect pulled his sword and
51:57what did he do he cut off the ear of one
51:59of the
52:01soldiers Christ took the ear put it back
52:03and he said to him put away your sword
52:05for those who live by the sword will die
52:09by the sword unless they repent and come
52:13back to the Lord those who live by the
52:16sword will die by The Sword and we pray
52:19for those people who till this day think
52:22they can live by the
52:24sword because
52:28intellectually
52:30Faithfully in a from a human point of
52:33view put aside the religion
52:37and from a human point of view if you
52:40disagree with someone you can always
52:42come and sit and have a dialogue but the
52:46person that uses the
52:48sword shows of how weak they are how
52:52weak they are and we pray for them and
52:55it's same out on the probably on the
52:57streets or even anywhere you go when
52:59people are using a sword or a knife or a
53:03gun it does not show how strong you are
53:06my dear son it shows how weak you are
53:10because to hold a weapon that means you
53:12are very
53:14weak anybody can shoot a weapon if they
53:17are walking in darkness that
53:20is anybody can shoot that weapon
53:23especially people who are scared you
53:25know when people are scared they become
53:27very
53:28strong they become very SC strong when
53:31they are scared so it does not mean that
53:33you are strong when you are holding a
53:35weapon it proves it proves of how much
53:39you are walking in
53:41darkness so Peter used his human ways
53:44and the Lord said those who live by the
53:46sword will die by the
53:53sword never be proud
53:57again I speak a lot about the younger
53:59generation I've grown up here and I know
54:03what goes on to a limit I don't know
54:05everything but we take pride some people
54:08take pride when they have a
54:10weapon they take pride in having a
54:13weapon with
54:14them but that weapon that you have with
54:17you it can only lead you to two places
54:21and both places are very
54:23dark you'll either get killed
54:27or you will use it and end up losing in
54:29life in jail for the rest of your life
54:32put away the weapons put away your human
54:37intellect all this that you are doing
54:40you are using your
54:42own
54:44understanding to live a comfortable life
54:47and it's not very comfortable believe me
54:49it's not most of these people we pray
54:52for them they don't sleep very
54:54comfortably at night they may look very
54:58cool they may look they may drive around
55:01with very you know luxury
55:04cars but unfortunately they do not sleep
55:08very comfortably at night because
55:11they're always looking over their
55:13shoulder who's behind
55:15them but when a person when a son or a
55:19daughter walks in the Light of Christ
55:23they don't need to check over their
55:26shoulder shoulder because the love of
55:28Christ the protection of Christ is
55:31always overshadowing
55:34them come to
55:38Christ I know you're here my beloved may
55:40the Lord bless you and you keep coming
55:42but those who are hearing
55:45us you could be W driving around with a
55:48gun in the car wherever you are put it
55:52away repent come back to the Lord you
55:56would be up to no good tonight it's
55:58Friday night wasn't there a song that
56:00went it's Friday
56:03night it should say it's Friday night
56:06and I feel all right because I'm coming
56:07to Christ the Good Shepherd Church
56:11yes it's Friday night and I'm I come to
56:15to see the good looking bishop and he
56:17sends you his love and
56:22blessings so Christ said to Peter put
56:24away your sword for those who live by
56:26the sword will die by The Sword and
56:29again the our beloved Jewish people back
56:34then as some of them believed in Christ
56:37and they saw the Miracles he performed
56:39and did what did they want to do
56:41according to their own intellect they
56:43wanted to take him away and make him a
56:46king make him an Earthly
56:48king and the Lord knew their plans and
56:51what did he say he said my kingdom is
56:54not from this world my kingdom is not
56:58from this world because they wanted to
57:00make him an Earthly King and they were
57:02not understanding that Christ was
57:04speaking about the kingdom to
57:10come Christ continued in his holy and
57:14spiritual way no matter what he was
57:16faced with he continued carrying the
57:20cross and walking towards
57:23Golgotha where he was crucified
57:26no matter what he was faced
57:29with he was single-minded as St Paul is
57:32and most of the Apostles that they had
57:34only one direction in life and it was
57:36that cross that it was that
57:40Kingdom and as he was walking when he
57:42fasted for 40 days the tempter came and
57:46started throwing to him
57:48Solutions say to these
57:50stones to be turned into
57:53bread throw yourself down for God has
57:56said he will send his angels to lift you
57:59up and see the enemy is using scripture
58:02Bible verses and this is what he used in
58:05the very first day with Adam and Eve as
58:08well he was using what God has said but
58:12with a Twist in it with a Twist in it
58:15not the full truth but with a
58:18Twist so he was offering
58:24Christ that's just my echo don't
58:27worry he was offering Christ a quick
58:31solution quick solution and this is what
58:34Satan throws to us as well we are
58:37walking as Christians We are following
58:39Christ because this way will lead us
58:42into his kingdom to
58:44Salvation yet Satan comes and offers
58:48these plans these quick Solutions in
58:52life get rich quickly have kids the
58:56wrong way sell this sell that
59:00gossip get this job by telling your boss
59:04these other workers they're the worst
59:05workers he's ever seen and I am the best
59:08one you need to sack all of them or
59:11doing certain things at work so you can
59:14prosper in front of the
59:16bosses and your friends can be sent home
59:18so you can take their position but in
59:20front of them you are the most loving
59:22friend they've ever come
59:24across you know you know what I love you
59:26so much when I see you my morning is
59:28never the same and then 5 minutes later
59:31they're in the office with the boss
59:33saying you know what she's done she's
59:36done this and
59:39that human ways of being success
59:42successful Satan tries this with us says
59:45why don't you lie in that interview so
59:48he can get this
59:51joke why don't you go and sell this and
59:53that so you can make money quickly
59:56and you can it's okay you can just do it
59:59once you can just drive for 10 hours
01:00:02with one delivery then you can come back
01:00:05and you can buy that nice car that you
01:00:06want and you don't have to deal with
01:00:08these people ever
01:00:10again are you
01:00:12sure you do that delivery and you say I
01:00:15don't want to do it
01:00:16again you think they're just going to
01:00:18let you go like that you're in for life
01:00:22and the only person that can get you out
01:00:24is Christ believe me it's only Christ
01:00:26that can get you out so don't go
01:00:29following quick fixed solution of
01:00:33Satan see Satan to an extent did not
01:00:37know Christ exactly was he a man was he
01:00:40God he was very confused because as
01:00:43people whatever Satan throws at a human
01:00:45being he says every human being that is
01:00:47born over a man and a woman whatever I
01:00:50throw at them they fall but this person
01:00:54who is Jesus Christ
01:00:56he's confusing me he looks like a man
01:01:00yet he deals with things like God and
01:01:04I'm confused this is him talking not
01:01:07Satan he's
01:01:09confused whatever I'm offering him he's
01:01:12rejecting there must be something in
01:01:14this man but Satan's job is to make
01:01:17everybody
01:01:18fall everybody that is born has his job
01:01:21and he doesn't want to be
01:01:23alone and that barbecue part party that
01:01:26he's throwing in the next life he
01:01:28doesn't want to be standing around being
01:01:30the one throwing the barbecue party and
01:01:32being barbecued he wants to barbecue
01:01:34other people with him then he'll
01:01:35probably end up being barbecued so he
01:01:38doesn't want to be alone in that party
01:01:40he wants people with him so he will
01:01:42offer you Solutions like he was offering
01:01:46Christ solution but look Christ stayed
01:01:49true cuz he was God and man he accepted
01:01:53to go through the suffering the narrow
01:01:56gate that led to life to Salvation he
01:01:59did not choose the easy
01:02:01way he did not choose the easy way he
01:02:05chose the suffering
01:02:07way the suffering way the way of Christ
01:02:10the way of all his Apostles the way of
01:02:13all his
01:02:14Saints until this day we don't need to
01:02:17talk about it all the time but till this
01:02:19day you see the people who truly follow
01:02:23the way of the Lord they suffer but rest
01:02:26assure if you're suffering for the Lord
01:02:28whatever you enduring for the
01:02:31Lord a great blessing is coming and even
01:02:35if this blessing doesn't come here on
01:02:37Earth because we don't belong to this
01:02:39earth we belong to his kingdom to the
01:02:41next life a great blessing awaits you in
01:02:44the next
01:02:47life our Lord did not come preaching
01:02:50Prosperity as so many with all love and
01:02:52respect churches preaching prosperity
01:02:56that you come to the Lord and you're
01:02:57going to be rich and this and that and
01:02:58you're going to have houses who preaches
01:03:01Prosperity Satan preaches
01:03:06Prosperity so many people fall into that
01:03:08and follow him so Christ chose the way
01:03:12of the cross the way of golgatha the
01:03:15suffering but through this suffering
01:03:18that led him to the Cross there was
01:03:20Resurrection after that there was
01:03:23Resurrection
01:03:35again the problem with our generation is
01:03:38that we intend to use our human brain
01:03:41more than relying on God our brain is
01:03:45forever working on daily basis every
01:03:47minute every second and let's be
01:03:50realistic how many of us during the day
01:03:54just think of solution
01:03:56on our own how many times do we invite
01:03:59Christ into our
01:04:01brain let's be realistic we wake up in
01:04:04the morning all the way to the time we
01:04:06sleep how many times do we remember
01:04:08Christ how many times are you sitting at
01:04:11work or at Uni or wherever you are and
01:04:15you're about to speak something or
01:04:17you're about to do something or you're
01:04:20faced with a conversation with a
01:04:22colleague do we ever stop and think Lord
01:04:25what what would you do in this
01:04:28situation Lord what would you do in this
01:04:31situation whatever you want done do it
01:04:34through me whatever you about you wanted
01:04:37to say to this person use me to say it
01:04:40if you haven't practiced it before try
01:04:42it remember this someone is talking to
01:04:46you and they're throwing at you their
01:04:47problems or they want an answer from you
01:04:50let them talk but you in your heart in
01:04:52your mind say Lord I'm a human I'm stuck
01:04:55I don't know what should I tell this
01:04:57person just say Lord what would you do
01:04:59if you were here and believe me the Lord
01:05:02if we ask him Faithfully from all our
01:05:05hearts and Minds he will give you the
01:05:07solution you will see it you'll say
01:05:10something and that person will be
01:05:13satisfied with your answer because you
01:05:15are allowing the Lord to work through
01:05:17you you're not just using our brain but
01:05:21the world as I said it causes us
01:05:23Christians to rely on our brains all the
01:05:26time because we are
01:05:28surrounded with media with television
01:05:31everything
01:05:34about using relying worshiping
01:05:38ourselves the story I heard
01:05:41recently this was a lovely lady who came
01:05:45to know Christ in her older years she
01:05:49said when I was
01:05:50young um back maybe in the 70s or 80s
01:05:54this is what TV we think TV does not
01:05:56affect young people and how they turn
01:05:58out when they're
01:06:00old she said I was having my breakfast
01:06:04and I was watching TV and a commercial
01:06:06came out with this you know she was
01:06:08telling the story this beautiful um
01:06:11woman with dressed in a business suit
01:06:14looking very successful um and the
01:06:17commercial I don't remember what the
01:06:18commercial was about but that lady was
01:06:20you know saying how beautiful her life
01:06:22was that she's got a great job she looks
01:06:24great and she's comfortable and she pays
01:06:27all the bills and does this and that so
01:06:30automatically that innocent child 9
01:06:33years old 10 years old when she looked
01:06:35at that it was recorded in her brain
01:06:39that she thought that she needs to grow
01:06:42up to be like that she needs to grow up
01:06:44to be like
01:06:46that so her brain now is programmed to
01:06:49chase after the world to chase success
01:06:52Earthly success that is nothing wrong
01:06:55with being successful don't get me wrong
01:06:57I'm not making it dark and cloudy and
01:06:59rainy like today and cold no don't get
01:07:02me wrong nothing wrong with being
01:07:04successful when you have Christ leading
01:07:06you in that path and we'll see the next
01:07:09example Jacob we're going to sleep here
01:07:12tonight I
01:07:14think nothing wrong with being
01:07:16successful but with the Lord allowing
01:07:18him to make you successful but this
01:07:20young girl started growing up that
01:07:22picture of that successful woman was in
01:07:24her mind
01:07:26and started working studying running
01:07:28from job to job just so that she can
01:07:31look like that woman
01:07:34but all that running around at the end
01:07:38she was miserable she started giving up
01:07:41on life because she was doing it not out
01:07:43of
01:07:44love but she was doing it
01:07:47just the way she understood love to be
01:07:49that if I want to be accepted in society
01:07:53if I want to be accepted by other men by
01:07:56the world I need to be this way so she
01:08:00spent the rest of her not the rest of
01:08:01her life the first part of her adulthood
01:08:05chasing the world and that led her to to
01:08:08become a drug addict and many other
01:08:11things which I will not list here true
01:08:14story but when she came back to the Lord
01:08:17and gave it to the Lord her life was
01:08:19completely changed so the media the TVs
01:08:23that we are watching the world all
01:08:25always is painting this picture that you
01:08:27need to be successful and you need to
01:08:29run around and you need your brain to do
01:08:32all this yes we need our brain but we
01:08:34need to put our brain we need to plug
01:08:37our brain into the Master System which
01:08:41is Jesus Christ of Nazareth if I'm not
01:08:44connected with him this brain will just
01:08:46work without Wi-Fi you know I believe
01:08:50every single one of you the moment you
01:08:51don't have internet on your phone you
01:08:53grab the phone and you go like a frisbee
01:08:56you Chuck it on that bed true it's not
01:08:59connected but once it's connected then
01:09:02you can use it our brains can fun
01:09:05function in the perfect way when they
01:09:08are connected to Christ when they're not
01:09:11connected to Christ they are connected
01:09:12to the world they will function don't
01:09:14get me wrong but soon enough they will
01:09:18be filled with pollution that will lead
01:09:21us to very dark hard ways
01:09:25dark hard
01:09:27ways someone may think well I'm using my
01:09:30brain I don't you know Believe In Christ
01:09:33but I'm doing okay that's you think
01:09:36you're doing
01:09:38okay God does not look at your heart and
01:09:40your life the way we look at
01:09:43ourselves you may think you're doing
01:09:45okay but unless you come to Christ then
01:09:48he performs The Miracle of all miracles
01:09:51the operation so that we can start
01:09:54looking at ourselves like like God looks
01:09:56at at us not the way we look at
01:09:59ourselves so the problem we use many
01:10:02times our own wisdom our own
01:10:06intellect and doesn't mean there's many
01:10:08people who are wise filled with you know
01:10:12wisdom but they don't use this wisdom in
01:10:16the right way if you look at Genesis
01:10:19wasn't the serpent it says now the
01:10:22serpent was more cunning than any beast
01:10:24of the field which the Lord God had made
01:10:27so the serpent was wise but it did it
01:10:30use that wisdom to glorify God it didn't
01:10:35so just because God has given you this
01:10:37beautiful brain and you're very wise and
01:10:39successful and you're thinking I can
01:10:41trust in my money I can trust in my
01:10:43wisdom and I can do all things I I don't
01:10:46need Christ I don't need to come to
01:10:47church well think again because God has
01:10:50given you that
01:10:52brain and he can at any time
01:10:55send a small slap a pull of an ear to
01:10:59make my brain freeze in a situation
01:11:03where used to be very simple for me to
01:11:05come out of and he
01:11:07will cause me to stop and
01:11:13think stop and
01:11:16think so we need to come back to the
01:11:21Lord and get rid of our human sinful
01:11:24Solutions
01:11:25get rid of it and Trust in the solution
01:11:28that God offers to us now a character
01:11:33who trusted in God's work was Joseph of
01:11:37the Old Testament read these stories in
01:11:40the Old Testament if you haven't read
01:11:41them these major I call them the major
01:11:44Char characters of the Old Testament
01:11:47we've done it with the team for Christ
01:11:48and it has I believe it has helped them
01:11:51a lot we went through a series where we
01:11:53only concentrated on the main characters
01:11:56of the Old Testament like Abraham
01:12:00Jacob Joseph go back to the Old
01:12:03Testament spend a lot of time in the New
01:12:04Testament but go back and find and read
01:12:07about these people because you will
01:12:09learn a lot from these great man of God
01:12:12and you can look at it from so many
01:12:15different angles like we are doing
01:12:16tonight tonight we are looking at it
01:12:18from a point of you that that they use
01:12:20God's solution or Human Solutions so
01:12:23Jacob for example he trusted in the Lord
01:12:28and he never relied on his own intellect
01:12:31never relied on his own intellect when
01:12:34he was captured by his brothers and sold
01:12:36into
01:12:37Egypt not once that he tried to use his
01:12:41own wisdom when he was in fortif I think
01:12:45that's the name of that Minister he was
01:12:48working as a servant there the minister
01:12:50used to go to work now his wife was evil
01:12:54and she thought she will do the wrong
01:12:56thing with Joseph cuz he was young and
01:13:00attractive and if Joseph wanted to use
01:13:02his own Human Solutions not trusting in
01:13:06God he could have done what
01:13:09probably other man would have
01:13:13done and he would have thought this is
01:13:15the life I'm leaving the luxury I'm a
01:13:18servant yet you know I can live the life
01:13:21that I want but yet he rejected her
01:13:25and he said how can I sin against my
01:13:28master meaning her husband and against
01:13:31my God or my God then against my master
01:13:34so he didn't accept this offer of Satan
01:13:38quick
01:13:39solution and that led him to be in jail
01:13:42she accused him what we call in our day
01:13:45rape that led him to be in jail for it
01:13:49did he turn around and try and fight it
01:13:51his own
01:13:52ways did you try and fight and say I'm
01:13:55innocent don't do this to me he accepted
01:13:58God's plan in life because he had seen a
01:14:03dream that he would be great one day and
01:14:06he trusted in God's voice now when I say
01:14:09dream this is a revelation from God to a
01:14:12prophet don't go dreaming about a
01:14:14Ferrari and next day you go and apply
01:14:17for a lawn or you do a dodgey job and
01:14:19say I saw a dream father George said I
01:14:21saw a dream and I'm going to get rich
01:14:23quickly so I'm going to do it my way now
01:14:25it was a revelation from God and be
01:14:27careful of Dreams yes be careful of
01:14:29dreams not every dream is from the Lord
01:14:32yeah and don't base your life all the
01:14:35time on
01:14:36dreams don't be a dreamer all the time I
01:14:39saw this dream and this is what it means
01:14:41because the enemy again will he got many
01:14:44ways he will again come through the
01:14:45dream and make you believe that
01:14:48something that you are something but in
01:14:50reality it's
01:14:51not so Joseph trusted in the Revelation
01:14:54that God had showed him in jail
01:14:57again for a long time and there was two
01:15:00people with him in jail who
01:15:03dreamed not once did he try and get out
01:15:08of it yet God was always with him and he
01:15:11prospered
01:15:15him he remained what was the word he
01:15:18remained silent in the face of
01:15:21prosecution when he was faced with
01:15:23difficulties he trusted and he remained
01:15:28silent because he knew God will deliver
01:15:33him I don't know if you've watched if
01:15:35you haven't watched it watch it it's
01:15:37called man of God it's from the saint a
01:15:40great saint called St nectarios he's a
01:15:44saint in our beloved Greek Church a
01:15:46great Saint a man of God a truly a man
01:15:49of God and in one of the I love the
01:15:51scene that took place when you watched
01:15:53the movie it's beautiful what he did at
01:15:57a time where he was in the convent with
01:15:59all these nuns and the government were
01:16:02going against him because they were
01:16:04accusing him the church was also
01:16:05accusing him unfortunately of doing
01:16:07wrong things and everybody was against
01:16:09him now he had grown up an old
01:16:13man and there's the scene where these
01:16:16police have come into the convent
01:16:19searching for babies because they were
01:16:20accusing him the people were accusing
01:16:22him that he was unfortunately having his
01:16:24his bad ways with his nuns very sad yet
01:16:28he is a great
01:16:30Saint when they came in and they started
01:16:32pushing the
01:16:33nuns and some of the nuns came to him
01:16:36and said to him say something they were
01:16:38pushing him you know what he responded
01:16:41with he put his left hand on his mouth
01:16:45and the right hand he pointed to
01:16:48God teaching the nuns in the face of
01:16:53prosecution you must remember
01:16:55silent and you must trust in
01:16:58God because the moment you speak you
01:17:02only going to make it
01:17:05worse and sometimes we rush to speaking
01:17:09more than being silent and sometimes and
01:17:12most of the times silence is the
01:17:15solution to it but as humans as we are
01:17:18being prog programmed by the
01:17:21world the solution is speaking and
01:17:24fighting back
01:17:26not for those who have accepted Jesus
01:17:29Christ as their lord and savior our way
01:17:32is not returning it with a
01:17:35sword we follow our Master we remain
01:17:39quiet for God will speak on your behalf
01:17:42when you remain
01:17:46silent and on that Exodus verse 14
01:17:50chapter 14:14
01:17:52says the Lord will fight for for you and
01:17:55you shall hold your peace or be silent
01:17:59the Lord will fight for you and you
01:18:02shall hold your peace or be
01:18:05silent what does it mean to be silent is
01:18:09to go to let God
01:18:13intervene to intervene with his Divine
01:18:17solution so we don't when we don't give
01:18:20God the time to intervene we act we
01:18:24block God out of the
01:18:27situation but when we remain silent we
01:18:30are asking God to intervene we're asking
01:18:32God to intervene and to take charge of
01:18:35the
01:18:37situation so many times when we see
01:18:41problems and you know going against
01:18:44people going against people that we may
01:18:46love family friends and other people who
01:18:50are dear to
01:18:52us just like how the nuns did to send
01:18:54narius we run and say we say to them say
01:18:57something do
01:19:00something but for those who are full of
01:19:02wisdom and Faith they say no I am being
01:19:05silent because I want God to
01:19:08intervene because everybody speaking and
01:19:11giving me
01:19:12Solutions but this is a human intellect
01:19:15a human brain is working I don't want to
01:19:17use my brain I've been using my brain
01:19:19for the last 34 years where has it led
01:19:22me where has it led me in life
01:19:25it feels like I'm going backwards all
01:19:27the
01:19:28time but when I Surrender it to God and
01:19:31say Lord I have run out of
01:19:34solutions now God says now you are
01:19:37speaking my child now you've run out of
01:19:40your solution now you need to be quiet
01:19:42and silent and hand it over to me and
01:19:45let me handle the situation for you stop
01:19:48using your own
01:19:53ways joose J almost used a human way but
01:19:57it didn't work when he was in jail one
01:20:00of the Servants of the king one got
01:20:02killed and one was set free to go back
01:20:06and serve the king Joseph he became a
01:20:10bit impatient and he said to the servant
01:20:12when you go back serving the king please
01:20:15tell him that there is someone called
01:20:17Joseph in here so maybe you can you know
01:20:21cut a deal with him he can bring me out
01:20:25human solution imagine if this servant
01:20:29had gone to the king and made a bribe as
01:20:32we say in our day and got Joseph out of
01:20:34jail Joseph would have been just Joseph
01:20:37an ordinary man no one would have known
01:20:40him and he would have died not just died
01:20:43yet the Israelite Nations the entire
01:20:45nation would not have survived again
01:20:48when you read you'll understand because
01:20:50famine was coming and this is why God
01:20:53sent him to Egypt so he can be in charge
01:20:56so when he tried using his Human
01:20:58Solutions God said no no no no you're
01:21:01going okay stay on
01:21:03track stay on track because the solution
01:21:06that I will give you will prosper you so
01:21:10who made that servant forget about
01:21:11Joseph it was
01:21:14God but God again intervened and made
01:21:18that King see a dream and that was the
01:21:21time where that servant remembered
01:21:22Joseph Joseph came out at the right time
01:21:26see patience see what it does in our own
01:21:29brain intellect we want things on our
01:21:31own timing I prayed it didn't happen I
01:21:35prayed and it didn't happen I want it to
01:21:36happen today and it's not happening how
01:21:39do you know if God allows you gives you
01:21:41the Comfort the solution
01:21:43today it's going to be good for you for
01:21:46the rest of your life I God says the
01:21:48solution that I will give you the timing
01:21:51I give you it is perfect timing it's not
01:21:54human human timing it is my timing
01:21:57because when I give the solution
01:21:58according to my own
01:22:00timing the whole puzzle will come
01:22:03together but if it's your own timing I
01:22:06don't know if you've done a puzzle
01:22:08before you'll spend days and days
01:22:10looking for that piece and you'll never
01:22:12find it and you'll go crazy going
01:22:15through it and you'll be looking for the
01:22:17one with the you know straight line on
01:22:18the side that's what happens when we use
01:22:21our own intellect you are looking for
01:22:23that piece of puzzle to complete
01:22:24complete your life but it's always
01:22:26missing you know why because God has
01:22:28taken that last piece and it's in his
01:22:31hand you can look all you want you will
01:22:35not find it but the moment you come to
01:22:37me I God then I'm going to say see how
01:22:39easy that was I had that last piece so
01:22:41put it and your life will be
01:22:46complete King David
01:22:48also relied on the Lord for the first
01:22:51part of his sort of midlife many stories
01:22:54you can understand and we can learn from
01:22:57King
01:22:58David Saul was jealous of him and Saul
01:23:01wanted to kill him and David was running
01:23:04from place to place from cave to Cave
01:23:08running away from Saul yet King David
01:23:12had the power and many times he was
01:23:14standing right on top of King Saul and
01:23:17he had the power to kill him yet he did
01:23:20not use human
01:23:22solution did not use his own brains he
01:23:24could have killed him but David probably
01:23:27would never become the great king that
01:23:30he
01:23:32became so killing and running away from
01:23:35God is not the solution for you my
01:23:37beloved as Christians it is not the
01:23:40quick fix it is not for you because it
01:23:42will only lead you to bigger and more
01:23:45serious
01:23:51problems so he remained King David
01:23:54remained
01:23:55with a healthy mind always seeking
01:23:57Christ always seeking
01:24:00God to keep his mind his heart and the
01:24:03right place with the
01:24:04Lord and that is why during all his
01:24:07difficulties the psalmist Psalm 32:1
01:24:11says Lord remember David and all his
01:24:15afflictions Lord remember David and all
01:24:18his afflictions for those who are
01:24:22afflicted the Lord remembers them when
01:24:24they Afflicted as I said my beloved for
01:24:28doing the right thing for sticking to
01:24:30God's plans not for doing
01:24:32evil the Lord will always remember and
01:24:35bless and prosper those who are trusting
01:24:38in his
01:24:40plans so so many people from what we
01:24:43understand use their own cleverness and
01:24:46their own Earthly capabilities maybe
01:24:50their own
01:24:52wealth maybe their own unfortunately
01:24:54evil
01:24:56capabilities using bribes in life to get
01:25:01ahead using evil ways to get ahead and
01:25:05as I said each to their own I'm always
01:25:07using these maybe you are always using
01:25:10these big examples of drug dealers and
01:25:13all these things but even us
01:25:17as simple people in life the question is
01:25:20to yourself you need to think of where
01:25:22in my life am I going going wrong where
01:25:25in my life I'm using my own brains where
01:25:28can I improve how can I start handing
01:25:31over to
01:25:33God I've
01:25:35been you know driving my car it's time
01:25:40for me to get off the driver's seat and
01:25:43hand it over to
01:25:45Christ I've been doing it my own way
01:25:48driving my life my own way it is time to
01:25:51hand it over to Christ to lead it
01:25:56and these quick Solutions you probably
01:25:58can think of it as a smoke when you have
01:26:02a fire and the smoke goes up it is very
01:26:06quick for the smoke to go
01:26:08up and once the smoke goes up that quick
01:26:11solution it disappears but when you look
01:26:14down the fire remains it's still
01:26:17burning because we intend to try and F
01:26:22to fix the branches to use our own ways
01:26:25to fix the branches yet we do not go to
01:26:28the bottom of the
01:26:31problem to the root of the
01:26:35problem God's ways is always full of
01:26:39wisdom full of love and patiency
01:26:42compared to Earthly Solutions are very
01:26:46quick very loud I want things done
01:26:50today very chaotic and fixing them
01:26:55but God's ways are slow but they bring
01:26:58blessings and when you receive a
01:27:01solution from God when he shows you the
01:27:03way it's an everlasting solution and
01:27:05blessings great blessing come from it
01:27:08yet the human solution is quick but
01:27:11leads to destruction when we do it our
01:27:14own
01:27:18way
01:27:19conclusion I'm sure you guys were
01:27:21waiting for this
01:27:25what do we do what are some of the
01:27:27things that we can
01:27:30do 10 years ago I read this this very
01:27:34small on quote and it always it has
01:27:38helped me and through God's grace a lot
01:27:42it
01:27:42was a priest has had written this this
01:27:46quote and he used it he put it in a
01:27:48story he said that there was a group of
01:27:51ducks and ducks can only fly short
01:27:54distance they can't fly very high and he
01:27:57said there was a group of ducks and they
01:27:58were surrounded by high walls and they
01:28:01were living in that swamp for years and
01:28:05years and they were forever trying to
01:28:07fly out they were forever trying to fly
01:28:10out one day one of the Ducks managed to
01:28:14fly
01:28:15out and it flew away and it stayed away
01:28:18for years and years and years one day
01:28:21that duck remembered the other ducks
01:28:25and it came back it said oh I'm going to
01:28:27go back and visit my old friends and see
01:28:29how they are
01:28:31doing so it came back and everybody was
01:28:33excited the old duck is back and they
01:28:35were clapping and you know shaking their
01:28:37feathers so the duck started talking
01:28:40about its journey in life and he spoke
01:28:43how great the world was outside these
01:28:46walls how beautiful the world was and
01:28:49how successful that duck was
01:28:51doing and it went for a long time
01:28:55then it came time the duck was finished
01:28:58it flew over the walls and the other
01:29:01Ducks remained in that place and the
01:29:05preacher the priest
01:29:06said what that duck failed to do he told
01:29:10them all the problems but that duck
01:29:12never gave him the solution so they
01:29:15remained living in there sometimes we
01:29:18hear a lot of what the problem is but so
01:29:22many of us and I'm the first first one
01:29:25of course it is the Lord who gives us
01:29:27the solution yes it is not a human it is
01:29:30the Lord who comes to our rescue and
01:29:31says I will give you the
01:29:34solution seek and you'll find knock and
01:29:36it'll be open to you ask and you'll be
01:29:39given seek or be open to you are we
01:29:43seeking are we knocking are we
01:29:47asking so to conclude it my
01:29:52beloved we we must come come and use
01:29:55God's solution and God's ways in our
01:29:57life God's ways in our
01:30:00life how the question is how do we do
01:30:04this there are three virtues that can
01:30:07help us a lot we've heard them many
01:30:11times and because we have heard them so
01:30:13many times we take them too lightly we
01:30:17hear them all the time and the solution
01:30:19most of the times is the same but is how
01:30:22we apply it and how we do
01:30:25it that is the reason sometimes we hear
01:30:28them but we do not apply them in the
01:30:30right way we do not apply it in the
01:30:33right way that's why we still struggle
01:30:36and it's a struggle for the rest of our
01:30:38life it's not one day or2 we will always
01:30:41be struggling but as I said my beloved
01:30:43you'd rather struggle walking with
01:30:45Christ than Walking With the Devil With
01:30:49the Enemy
01:30:52true I'd rather fall as King David said
01:30:55in the hands of God than to fall in the
01:30:58hands of
01:30:59men because with God there is Mercy but
01:31:03humans
01:31:04unfortunately we can become so hard on
01:31:08other people so we would rather be in
01:31:11the hands of God under the mercy of God
01:31:14than be in the mercy of humans
01:31:18yes three virtues number one Faith to
01:31:22have faith in the Lord
01:31:25Lord to have faith and believe in the
01:31:29Lord what does it mean to have faith is
01:31:33it a word that I say yeah I have faith
01:31:35in Christ and 5 minutes later I'm out
01:31:37doing whatever I
01:31:40want it
01:31:43means God will intervene number one God
01:31:46will
01:31:47intervene God is
01:31:51present and he will work and his work
01:31:54will be perfect so when I say faith when
01:31:57you say faith you need to repeat in
01:31:59yourself and say God is at hand he will
01:32:03intervene and his solution will be
01:32:05perfect when you face with a problem
01:32:08that is the faith that we're speaking
01:32:10about a faith that is constantly
01:32:13reminding ourselves that God is present
01:32:15in every situation that he is capable
01:32:18that he is bigger than the problem that
01:32:20we are faced with not yeah I have faith
01:32:24but then 5 minutes later I'll go and do
01:32:27it my
01:32:28way to have faith is to
01:32:32say God will exist he's with me he will
01:32:35intervene and when he intervenes his way
01:32:39his solution will be
01:32:44perfect another thing to remember in
01:32:46faith is to say is God he is aware he
01:32:50can
01:32:52see he's a aware and he can see
01:32:54everything and he will fix
01:32:57it he is aware he can see and he will
01:33:01fix my
01:33:03problem and if we remind ourselves
01:33:06constantly of these words then it's
01:33:09going to become second nature then I'm
01:33:11face with a problem I'm going to say God
01:33:14I know you're present you can see
01:33:17everything you're capable of doing
01:33:19fixing the problem for me and you will
01:33:21intervene at the right time
01:33:24how would God resolve it through your
01:33:26faith he will resolve it through his
01:33:29love power and his care his Mercy for
01:33:32you you need to remember through faith
01:33:35that God is
01:33:36loving and he has the
01:33:40power and he will do it through his
01:33:43mercy so God Jesus Christ of Nazareth
01:33:47the one we trust in he's all powerful
01:33:50he's all knowing so this is the faith
01:33:53that we have in you Lord that you are
01:33:55capable and you'll intervene and solve
01:33:57the
01:34:01problem without this Faith you cannot
01:34:03wait on the Lord without this faith
01:34:06believing that God exists that he is
01:34:08with you in every step that he will
01:34:10intervene through his love and mercy you
01:34:12will become like Jacob you'll start
01:34:16running around and doing things your own
01:34:18way which will keep leading you and
01:34:22driving you away from God and leading
01:34:24you to bigger problems in
01:34:26life you'll end up like
01:34:32Jacob and when faith is weakened through
01:34:36fear again we Retreat to Human Solutions
01:34:39and unfortunately when our faith becomes
01:34:41weak we no longer run to God we intend
01:34:45to run to Who to our friends
01:34:49families and when I'm in that situation
01:34:52I'm faced with a
01:34:54problem for example someone who again
01:34:58with all love and respect and we pray
01:35:00for everybody who's addicted to whether
01:35:01it's drugs alcohol gambling we pray that
01:35:05the Lord breaks these chains in his
01:35:07mighty name breaks these chains that
01:35:10you've been chained with all your life
01:35:13he can break them when we come to him
01:35:15but if that person runs to his friend
01:35:18who is a co- Gambler what is that
01:35:20Gambler going to tell him is he going to
01:35:22tell him have faith
01:35:24He he'll have forget about it brother
01:35:26men just gamble your life
01:35:29away if he goes to if he's got a
01:35:32drinking problem and he runs to his Co
01:35:36friend who's drinking with him he'll J
01:35:39he'll say to him what faith man Shea
01:35:42just Flex the elbow and drink it
01:35:46up is he going to find any solution they
01:35:49will dig a bigger hole together he was
01:35:51digging on his own now he's got another
01:35:53person person with him they're both
01:35:54digging and the hole is becoming deeper
01:35:56and deeper and deeper and the third
01:35:58person comes he's trunk he's drunk he
01:36:00falls into that hole and probably the
01:36:02fourth person who's drunk he comes and
01:36:04puts all that dirt on top of
01:36:06them but we pray I'm not saying this for
01:36:10us to love I know how difficult it is
01:36:13for people to have an addiction we pray
01:36:16to them as Christians there are not bad
01:36:18people we're not saying that there are
01:36:20bad people most of these people are
01:36:23Beautiful People they've got a good
01:36:26heart but they have been doing it hard
01:36:28in life so if you are
01:36:30true children of Christ we need to pray
01:36:34and put a Helping Hands forth to them
01:36:37because maybe they have never heard a
01:36:40loving word in their life maybe there
01:36:43had never anybody come there have never
01:36:45anyone come even their parents to hug
01:36:47them to say to them I care for you I
01:36:50love
01:36:51you it takes
01:36:54one phone call one nice word to change a
01:36:59person have your faith and whatever you
01:37:02do in life when you wake up in the
01:37:04morning make it your aim to say a nice
01:37:07word to one person during that day you
01:37:10don't have to be nice to everyone no try
01:37:13and be nice to everyone but at least aim
01:37:15to say a nice word to someone you don't
01:37:18know you may stop at someone who's
01:37:21sitting on the G and you just say to
01:37:23them good morning and maybe that good
01:37:25morning may change their life believe me
01:37:28because maybe that person has never had
01:37:31anyone walk past him to say I care for
01:37:35you how are you
01:37:37today and it has happened before where
01:37:40people have responded with you know what
01:37:42I've never had anyone say ask me how I
01:37:45was for the last week or two sometimes
01:37:48even at the you know we're humans we
01:37:51live in this world like not everything
01:37:53is super natural when you're at coals
01:37:54and woolies buying ask that poor you
01:37:57know that check out girl or boy how they
01:38:02are how their day is going you never
01:38:05know you might bring them to church the
01:38:08week
01:38:09after what makes you they probably turn
01:38:11around and say what made you say how are
01:38:14you today to me you say oh you know what
01:38:17um you know it's a beautiful day I thank
01:38:20the Lord for today and I just saw you
01:38:23were very busy I just thought to check
01:38:24up on you when they heard you said it's
01:38:26a beautiful day and I thank the Lord
01:38:28they'll say oh maybe this person goes to
01:38:30church oh where do you go to church I go
01:38:32to so and so church but be careful when
01:38:36you're going through drive-thru
01:38:37especially the priests and
01:38:39deacons when you're having a bad day and
01:38:42you know they don't hear your order
01:38:44properly you might be inclined to say
01:38:46the wrong word and then you pull up at
01:38:48the window and it's one of the Bible you
01:38:50know the the people who come to the
01:38:51Bible study you say ah it's f father
01:38:53georgees weren't you teaching to be
01:38:55teaching us to be nice to to people were
01:38:57we so be careful be careful but coming
01:39:01back to it number one have faith and
01:39:05that faith is not simply a word to say
01:39:07but reminding ourselves that God is
01:39:09present he will intervene at the right
01:39:12time I must be running overtime because
01:39:14I can see people breathing heavily and
01:39:17it's making me push to become faster so
01:39:20bear with me there's only two more
01:39:21points I promise have we gone over the 1
01:39:24hour mark oh
01:39:28no I love it as the bishop
01:39:32says faith number two you know this
01:39:35again is
01:39:38prayer
01:39:40prayer as we said sting sitting in
01:39:42silence and coming to the Lord with our
01:39:44difficulties and problems not only
01:39:47during our bad times and difficult times
01:39:51you need to come to the Lord because
01:39:53it's a relationship even in your good
01:39:56times you need to come to the Lord and
01:39:58thank him for the good times yeah and
01:40:01you need to come and say hello to the
01:40:02priests even in your good times not only
01:40:05when you're having bad times father
01:40:07Isaac is
01:40:08smiling not only in your bed times so if
01:40:11it's your birthday and you're having a
01:40:12cake bring the cake to church come to
01:40:14church and share it maybe with the
01:40:16fathers with your friends don't always
01:40:19call the priest when you're having
01:40:20difficult times you can of course
01:40:22through the grace of the lord we are
01:40:24always trying to be here for you so we
01:40:26don't come to God and pray only in
01:40:30difficult times but the solution to use
01:40:34God's ways is to pray and the more we
01:40:36pray the stronger we get in our
01:40:38relationship with Christ and the
01:40:41experiences that we're going to go
01:40:42through it will make us a stronger
01:40:45Christian because what did we say at the
01:40:47beginning if we use our brain and quick
01:40:51fixed solution of the humans we're
01:40:53goingon to rush through life and we're
01:40:55not going to learn anything but when we
01:40:57slow down with the Lord in faith and in
01:41:01prayer we will become slowly slowly
01:41:04through our experiences a better
01:41:06Christian because what will shape you as
01:41:08a better Christian it's the experiences
01:41:11that you're going to go through in life
01:41:13so if you have been through dark alleys
01:41:16now you've come to the lord it's okay
01:41:19because maybe it was that dark alleys
01:41:22that led you to come to the
01:41:24light and our beloved Bishop said
01:41:27something beautifully last week he said
01:41:29it takes hell to
01:41:31appreciate Heaven it takes hell to
01:41:35appreciate heaven so these experiences
01:41:39the health situations the difficult
01:41:41situation in life it will only make you
01:41:45stronger it will only make you
01:41:48stronger some people say I prayed father
01:41:51you told me to pray and it didn't get
01:41:54resolved that's because my inexperience
01:41:57thinks that God Lord forgive me is a
01:42:00vending machine I put $2 in and I press
01:42:04Sprite Sprite has to come out straight
01:42:07away God is not a vending
01:42:10machine remember what we said at the
01:42:12beginning God's what timing he can give
01:42:16you the solution but there is timing
01:42:19with it when that solution comes it will
01:42:22have great effects on your life down the
01:42:25road yes so it's not always God will
01:42:28answer you the next day so I've prayed
01:42:30nothing is coming out of
01:42:32it but we need to be persistent in our
01:42:35prayer keep praying even when you think
01:42:38things are getting worse every time I
01:42:40pray pers persistence and you'll find
01:42:44that in Luke
01:42:4511 verse 5 I won't read it but it says
01:42:50you can check it out when you go home
01:42:51Luke chapter 5 when the Lord speaks
01:42:54about this persistence prayer about a
01:42:57man being at night with his kids being
01:43:01in bed and someone comes knocking at the
01:43:03door and says to him I've got visitors
01:43:05coming can you please give me some bread
01:43:07and the man says you know what we're
01:43:10asleep me and my children are
01:43:13asleep I can't get up and give you and
01:43:15the man keeps knocking and
01:43:17knocking the Lord says not because it
01:43:20was his friend he ended up getting up up
01:43:23and giving the bread but because of his
01:43:26persistence he kept on knocking and
01:43:28asking so when we seek knock and ask the
01:43:33Lord will respond but we need to trust
01:43:35in his timing as well so faith and
01:43:39prayer and lastly everybody's smiling
01:43:44lastly is to be patient it's connected
01:43:47to prayer and what we said about his
01:43:50timing you remain patient and wait upon
01:43:53the Lord you imagine being Joseph
01:43:56through the
01:43:57difficulties and I don't know may the
01:43:59Lord not show you many difficulties or
01:44:03difficult situation in lives when you're
01:44:05going through it it does feel like
01:44:08unfortunately
01:44:09hell and you're praying and waiting for
01:44:11the Lord and you see sometimes it starts
01:44:14to get worse before it starts to get any
01:44:17better and even when it's getting worse
01:44:20it's sort of slowly getting worse and
01:44:23then when the time comes it slowly
01:44:25starts to get better the Lord does not
01:44:28at once make it better again it goes
01:44:31back to he wants to teach you teach us a
01:44:34lesson out of it because believe me even
01:44:36if God acts so quickly and gives you the
01:44:38solution you will never appreciate that
01:44:41solution many children who has who have
01:44:45inherited their parents because their
01:44:47parents worked very hard not all of them
01:44:50but some of them who have come from Rich
01:44:53families they intend to waste their
01:44:56inheritance very easily because they
01:44:59never worked hard for that
01:45:02inheritance so easy received easy
01:45:06wasted and even a meal when the meal is
01:45:10cooked I'm not a cook again I'm not a
01:45:12doctor I'm not a
01:45:14cook when a meal is cooked nice and slow
01:45:18it gives a better taste doesn't it if
01:45:21you come to Father George he'll make you
01:45:23two fried eggs with a toast it won't
01:45:26taste so good but if you go to to our
01:45:30beloved chefs those who are chefs with
01:45:32us that will take few hours to make the
01:45:35sauce and the pasta and it will taste
01:45:37beautiful so being patient with God is
01:45:41allowing God to take to cook that
01:45:43beautiful meal for you don't rush it
01:45:47what do you want to have a salty egg
01:45:50made by the priest
01:45:53or a beautiful Meal made by the Lord
01:45:57himself and that meal is every
01:46:01Sunday at 6:00 p.m. 900 a.m. in the
01:46:04Assyrian 6:00
01:46:06p.m. in the
01:46:10evening we come and we eat that
01:46:13beautiful meal and that meal is Christ
01:46:15himself he gave us his own body and
01:46:18blood and the more we have faith in him
01:46:21that he exists he's with us where the
01:46:23more we give him what we are faced with
01:46:27the more we trust in him and the more we
01:46:29practice this the stronger your faith
01:46:33becomes faith is not a name a Christian
01:46:38who has come to church on Sunday and
01:46:40Friday then leaves and does not
01:46:43apply you can go to a doctor all you can
01:46:46and the doctor can give you all these
01:46:48medicines all he wants and you keep
01:46:50grabbing the medicine and throwing it
01:46:52sorry to say in the bin is it going to
01:46:55benefit
01:46:56you not you need to take it and apply it
01:47:00and I always say this and I'll always
01:47:01say it when it comes to human thinking
01:47:05our own brain when we visit the doctor
01:47:08whatever he tells us believe me we
01:47:11applied
01:47:13101% you put an alarm on to remind you
01:47:16that 3 p.m. he said to take that vitamin
01:47:18at 3
01:47:20p.m. but
01:47:22when God out of his love and mercy calls
01:47:26out to us and says I need you to have
01:47:29faith I need you to pray I need you to
01:47:31be patient yet we don't put an alarm for
01:47:35this maybe we should start putting
01:47:39alarms to remind ourselves that God is
01:47:42with
01:47:43us so the message today my beloved God's
01:47:47solution versus Human Solutions whatever
01:47:50you're faced with and I'm sure every
01:47:52every single one of us in life we are
01:47:54always faced with
01:47:57difficulties what are we going to do are
01:48:00we going to use our own human intellect
01:48:02or are we going to allow God to

01:54:21be careful
01:54:23technology again can be used in a good
01:54:25way but in a bad way recently in the
01:54:28last few weeks it's been Point pointed
01:54:30out to us by the media team that some
01:54:34people have used AI to copy his Grace's
01:54:38voice and he's speaking saying that you
01:54:41know I need you to donate to orphanage
01:54:43and things it sounds very real but it is
01:54:46fake his grace has not done this
01:54:49recording it's recorded by Ai and it's
01:54:51going around
01:54:52to try to scam these people if you ever
01:54:56get a a WhatsApp message telling you
01:54:59anything or they're calling you telling
01:55:00you to donate or message WhatsApp always
01:55:03do a video call and see who that man is
01:55:05someone told me and I'll share this one
01:55:07with you this man was very smart as soon
01:55:10as he got the text message he did a
01:55:12video call and these scammers scammers
01:55:14who are in Africa unfortunately
01:55:16somewhere in Africa they're not only in
01:55:19Africa our love and praise are for
01:55:21Africa and the whole world don't get me
01:55:23wrong but there could be any in any part
01:55:26of the world so he's pressed the video
01:55:29call and by mistake they answered and he
01:55:32said they did not look like any anywhere
01:55:35near the bishop I won't explain what
01:55:38they looked like and they quickly tried
01:55:40shutting the video and he caught them
01:55:42out so always try a video call if you
01:55:44get a you know it was a good way of
01:55:46catching them a video call and if they
01:55:48don't answer the video call but rest
01:55:50assure his grace every everything that
01:55:53we do we do through the Church website
01:55:56through the Facebook of the church

01:56:02message WhatsApp even if you are
01:56:04receiving it from a friend a trusted
01:56:06friend it doesn't mean that friends that
01:56:09friend is trying to scam you but maybe
01:56:12that friend doesn't know about this
01:56:13announcement because most
01:56:15people switch off as soon as we make the
01:56:18announcements they listen to the preach
01:56:20probably but when it comes to the
01:56:21announcements they switch off so maybe
