  • ...
  • 00:00:00.633 --> 00:00:10.819
  • Joseph prince: god's method of delivery
  • 00:00:13.021 --> 00:00:15.057
  • Of all of heaven's goods and blessings and god's miracles
  • 00:00:15.190 --> 00:00:19.628
  • Is by the foolishness of preaching.
  • 00:00:19.761 --> 00:00:20.429
  • Not the foolishness of preachers, thank god.
  • 00:00:22.464 --> 00:00:26.401
  • The methodology sounds foolish.
  • 00:00:26.401 --> 00:00:29.004
  • A man stands up, he talks and god delivers.
  • 00:00:29.004 --> 00:00:33.208
  • God heals.
  • 00:00:33.208 --> 00:00:34.543
  • So by the foolishness of preaching,
  • 00:00:34.543 --> 00:00:36.211
  • It has pleased god by this system to heal,
  • 00:00:36.211 --> 00:00:39.348
  • To save, to preserve, to protect, to prosper.
  • 00:00:39.348 --> 00:00:43.619
  • So what do you do?
  • 00:00:43.619 --> 00:00:44.953
  • You ought to be listening to god's word every day.
  • 00:00:44.953 --> 00:00:48.157
  • Male announcer: have you ever asked yourself, "who am i?"
  • 00:00:48.223 --> 00:00:50.959
  • What about, "whose am i?"
  • 00:00:50.959 --> 00:00:53.162
  • In today's message, joseph prince
  • 00:00:53.162 --> 00:00:54.796
  • Opens the scriptures to reveal your true identity in christ
  • 00:00:54.796 --> 00:00:58.066
  • And the blessed inheritance
  • 00:00:58.066 --> 00:00:59.468
  • That comes with belonging to him.
  • 00:00:59.468 --> 00:01:02.571
  • Dear overcomer, yes, you.
  • 00:01:02.571 --> 00:01:05.607
  • Did you know you've been given power to rise above sin?
  • 00:01:05.607 --> 00:01:08.944
  • Authority to speak healing over sickness?
  • 00:01:08.944 --> 00:01:11.747
  • Even the grip of addiction has no hold
  • 00:01:11.747 --> 00:01:13.749
  • Over who you are in christ.
  • 00:01:13.749 --> 00:01:15.751
  • You may not always feel victorious,
  • 00:01:15.751 --> 00:01:18.086
  • But your identity isn't based on feelings.
  • 00:01:18.086 --> 00:01:20.556
  • It's based on what god says about you.
  • 00:01:20.556 --> 00:01:23.025
  • And he says you are more than a conqueror in christ jesus.
  • 00:01:23.025 --> 00:01:26.828

  • Today as one of the most important message that i would
  • 00:02:07.636 --> 00:02:11.106
  • Preach, all right, because one of the most important message
  • 00:02:11.106 --> 00:02:14.910
  • Because this message is a message that keeps on giving.
  • 00:02:14.910 --> 00:02:18.513
  • In the days to come, it's gonna help you in your married life,
  • 00:02:18.513 --> 00:02:20.949
  • It's gonna help you in your parenting,
  • 00:02:20.949 --> 00:02:22.718
  • It's gonna help you in your health,
  • 00:02:22.718 --> 00:02:24.419
  • It's gonna help you in your business,
  • 00:02:24.419 --> 00:02:26.088
  • It's gonna help you in your finances,
  • 00:02:26.088 --> 00:02:27.456
  • It's gonna help you in terms of freedom
  • 00:02:27.456 --> 00:02:30.492
  • And peace from stress, from distresses
  • 00:02:30.492 --> 00:02:33.729
  • And from all kinds of things that depress us, amen.
  • 00:02:33.729 --> 00:02:36.999
  • God is gonna empower and live and enlighten you
  • 00:02:36.999 --> 00:02:40.502
  • In this message.
  • 00:02:40.502 --> 00:02:41.837
  • He's gonna help you, he's gonna build you
  • 00:02:41.837 --> 00:02:43.438
  • And it's one of the more important messages
  • 00:02:43.438 --> 00:02:45.841
  • That i believe you can never hear.
  • 00:02:45.841 --> 00:02:48.644
  • Faith comes by hearing.
  • 00:02:48.644 --> 00:02:50.846
  • Romans 10:17.
  • 00:02:50.846 --> 00:02:52.314
  • "so then faith comes."
  • 00:02:52.314 --> 00:02:53.915
  • You see that i want to have the same faith that joshua had,
  • 00:02:53.915 --> 00:02:56.151
  • That caleb had that says, "give me this mountain."
  • 00:02:56.151 --> 00:02:58.720
  • At the age of 85, that man was still full of faith, amen.
  • 00:02:58.720 --> 00:03:02.457
  • God says of caleb, he has a different spirit, amen.
  • 00:03:02.457 --> 00:03:06.128
  • Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of god
  • 00:03:06.128 --> 00:03:09.531
  • Or the word of christ.
  • 00:03:09.531 --> 00:03:10.866
  • How does faith come?
  • 00:03:10.866 --> 00:03:12.267
  • By hearing and hearing.
  • 00:03:12.267 --> 00:03:13.602
  • The fact is repeated means it's hearing and hearing and hearing
  • 00:03:13.602 --> 00:03:16.638
  • And hearing and hearing, i-n-g, continuous tense.
  • 00:03:16.638 --> 00:03:20.375
  • It's not faith that doesn't come by having heard.
  • 00:03:20.375 --> 00:03:23.011
  • Any more than those of you who ate chicken rice last month,
  • 00:03:23.011 --> 00:03:26.515
  • I guarantee you, you'll be eating chicken rice soon.
  • 00:03:26.515 --> 00:03:29.918
  • You cannot just live on the memory of what you ate.
  • 00:03:29.918 --> 00:03:32.321
  • You can't just live on the memory
  • 00:03:32.321 --> 00:03:33.689
  • Of i know what chicken rice tastes like, no, all right?
  • 00:03:33.689 --> 00:03:37.559
  • Strength for your faith comes by hearing
  • 00:03:37.559 --> 00:03:40.262
  • And hearing not by having heard.
  • 00:03:40.262 --> 00:03:42.964
  • Many a times people hear my sermon,
  • 00:03:42.964 --> 00:03:44.733
  • They thought they heard my entire sermon.
  • 00:03:44.733 --> 00:03:47.836
  • Then they hear it a second time.
  • 00:03:47.836 --> 00:03:49.504
  • They get a cd, they listen to it.
  • 00:03:49.504 --> 00:03:50.972
  • "hey, did he say that in the service?
  • 00:03:50.972 --> 00:03:52.341
  • I was there, i didn't hear this."
  • 00:03:52.341 --> 00:03:53.842
  • And then the third time, they hear it again and they get
  • 00:03:53.842 --> 00:03:56.244
  • Revelations on my revelations, okay.
  • 00:03:56.244 --> 00:03:59.548
  • So let's look at the text.
  • 00:03:59.548 --> 00:04:00.882
  • What faith?
  • 00:04:00.882 --> 00:04:02.217
  • Is this directly from god?
  • 00:04:02.217 --> 00:04:03.552
  • And i believe god speaks directly.
  • 00:04:03.552 --> 00:04:04.886
  • But this faith that comes is hearing what?
  • 00:04:04.886 --> 00:04:06.788
  • How?
  • 00:04:06.788 --> 00:04:08.156
  • Three verses before this, it says this.
  • 00:04:08.156 --> 00:04:09.691
  • "how then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed?"
  • 00:04:09.691 --> 00:04:12.728
  • Your colleagues, your relatives, your friends,
  • 00:04:12.728 --> 00:04:14.629
  • You don't talk to them about jesus,
  • 00:04:14.629 --> 00:04:16.164
  • How can they ever believe in him?
  • 00:04:16.164 --> 00:04:17.933
  • How can they call on him in whom they have not believed?
  • 00:04:17.933 --> 00:04:21.069
  • And then it says, "how shall they believe in him
  • 00:04:21.069 --> 00:04:23.105
  • Of whom they have not heard?"
  • 00:04:23.105 --> 00:04:26.208
  • And then there's this question, "and how shall they hear
  • 00:04:26.208 --> 00:04:30.312
  • Without a preacher?"
  • 00:04:30.312 --> 00:04:32.247
  • Just three verses before, "faith comes by hearing
  • 00:04:32.247 --> 00:04:34.716
  • And hearing by the word of god."
  • 00:04:34.716 --> 00:04:36.284
  • It tells you how shall they hear.
  • 00:04:36.284 --> 00:04:37.919
  • How?
  • 00:04:37.919 --> 00:04:39.421
  • "how shall they hear without a preacher?"
  • 00:04:39.421 --> 00:04:41.890
  • But we, in the charismatic move, we say that god speaks to me,
  • 00:04:41.890 --> 00:04:45.093
  • God speaks to me, god speaks to me.
  • 00:04:45.093 --> 00:04:46.661
  • It's not talking about god speaking to you directly
  • 00:04:46.661 --> 00:04:48.463
  • In your heart where faith comes by hearing.
  • 00:04:48.463 --> 00:04:50.866
  • This faith that comes by hearing in the context
  • 00:04:50.866 --> 00:04:54.436
  • Is hearing through a preacher.
  • 00:04:54.436 --> 00:04:57.906
  • Now the thing is this, you can't bring a preacher
  • 00:04:57.906 --> 00:05:00.675
  • With you everywhere.
  • 00:05:00.675 --> 00:05:02.210
  • But i believe that in these last days, god has ordained iphones,
  • 00:05:02.210 --> 00:05:07.883
  • Ipods, laptops.
  • 00:05:07.883 --> 00:05:10.452
  • That's why it's called ipod.
  • 00:05:10.452 --> 00:05:12.053
  • Pod is to contain seeds.
  • 00:05:12.053 --> 00:05:14.856
  • And god's word are all incorruptible seeds.
  • 00:05:14.856 --> 00:05:19.161
  • Inano, whatever it is.
  • 00:05:19.161 --> 00:05:20.829
  • And if you can just, you know, listen to god's word.
  • 00:05:20.829 --> 00:05:24.299
  • Hey, listen, when the devil attacks your body,
  • 00:05:24.299 --> 00:05:26.601
  • Does he attack your body once a week?
  • 00:05:26.601 --> 00:05:29.971
  • Does he say, "okay, i only attack you once a week.
  • 00:05:29.971 --> 00:05:32.307
  • The other days, i take rest.
  • 00:05:32.307 --> 00:05:34.409
  • I mean, my sabbath is six days.
  • 00:05:34.409 --> 00:05:37.712
  • I only attack on--" no, of course not.
  • 00:05:37.712 --> 00:05:40.015
  • If you have been given a bad prognosis or the doctor has
  • 00:05:40.015 --> 00:05:42.818
  • Given you a bad report, you know that this disease is growing,
  • 00:05:42.818 --> 00:05:47.456
  • You know that it's attacking you monday, tuesday,
  • 00:05:47.456 --> 00:05:50.225
  • Wednesday, thursday.
  • 00:05:50.225 --> 00:05:51.760
  • You ought to be listening to god's word every day.
  • 00:05:51.760 --> 00:05:55.130
  • Because god's word is a sword of the spirit
  • 00:05:55.130 --> 00:05:57.399
  • That will slice that tumor off.
  • 00:05:57.399 --> 00:06:00.068
  • Can i have a good amen?
  • 00:06:00.068 --> 00:06:02.337
  • I want to read to you a testimony from,
  • 00:06:02.337 --> 00:06:04.439
  • I recommend this book, it's quite a good book
  • 00:06:04.439 --> 00:06:06.641
  • Because i know the author quite well.
  • 00:06:06.641 --> 00:06:08.643
  • I know him for a number of years now, "destined to reign."
  • 00:06:08.643 --> 00:06:15.083
  • I want to read to you a testimony of a singaporean.
  • 00:06:15.083 --> 00:06:18.220
  • She wrote this testimony and she gave us this testimony.
  • 00:06:18.220 --> 00:06:21.189
  • We include this testimony in this book
  • 00:06:21.189 --> 00:06:23.725
  • Which was written a number of years ago.
  • 00:06:23.725 --> 00:06:26.561
  • And it says this,
  • 00:06:26.561 --> 00:06:27.929
  • "pastor prince, only early last year," she said,
  • 00:06:27.929 --> 00:06:30.966
  • "i was diagnosed with a tumor on the pituitary gland
  • 00:06:30.966 --> 00:06:34.135
  • In my brain.
  • 00:06:34.135 --> 00:06:36.071
  • The mri scan showed that the tumor
  • 00:06:36.071 --> 00:06:38.206
  • Was a macrogrowth of about 1.5 cm.
  • 00:06:38.206 --> 00:06:43.712
  • The neurosurgeon at the singapore general hospital said
  • 00:06:43.712 --> 00:06:46.381
  • That if i had seen him any later, the tumor would have
  • 00:06:46.381 --> 00:06:49.384
  • Affected my eyesight as it was pressing on my optic nerve.
  • 00:06:49.384 --> 00:06:54.956
  • I was presented with two options:
  • 00:06:54.956 --> 00:06:56.458
  • Immediate surgery to remove the tumor.
  • 00:06:56.458 --> 00:06:58.727
  • The risk of surgery was that besides the 20% failure rate,
  • 00:06:58.727 --> 00:07:01.496
  • I could become blind in one eye or medication
  • 00:07:01.496 --> 00:07:04.132
  • And i was told that medication
  • 00:07:04.132 --> 00:07:05.867
  • Would take a long time to work and most patients
  • 00:07:05.867 --> 00:07:07.269
  • Only experience a shrinkage in the tumor after a year or so.
  • 00:07:07.269 --> 00:07:11.907
  • What the doctors had found out and said about the tumor
  • 00:07:11.907 --> 00:07:14.409
  • Was devastating to me and my family.
  • 00:07:14.409 --> 00:07:16.311
  • I remember telling myself that if i were to lose my eyesight,
  • 00:07:16.311 --> 00:07:19.681
  • I don't want to live anymore.
  • 00:07:19.681 --> 00:07:21.683
  • It was during this time that my family
  • 00:07:21.683 --> 00:07:23.218
  • Resolved to commit the whole thing to god,
  • 00:07:23.218 --> 00:07:25.287
  • To trust and rely on him entirely and pray for healing.
  • 00:07:25.287 --> 00:07:29.824
  • We opted to go with taking medication.
  • 00:07:29.824 --> 00:07:32.093
  • During this time, despite wanting to believe in god's love
  • 00:07:32.093 --> 00:07:34.596
  • And goodness towards me, i was constantly plagued
  • 00:07:34.596 --> 00:07:36.765
  • With questions like this:
  • 00:07:36.765 --> 00:07:38.333
  • Does god love me anymore?
  • 00:07:38.333 --> 00:07:40.602
  • Does he even care?
  • 00:07:40.602 --> 00:07:42.370
  • Is he punishing me for something wrong that i have done?
  • 00:07:42.370 --> 00:07:45.640
  • Should i just grit my teeth and accept the situation?
  • 00:07:45.640 --> 00:07:49.311
  • It was only when a fellow colleague and friend at my
  • 00:07:49.311 --> 00:07:51.880
  • Workplace started passing me your sermon cd to listen."
  • 00:07:51.880 --> 00:07:57.085
  • To listen.
  • 00:07:57.085 --> 00:07:58.486
  • Not to hang around in the decorative way
  • 00:07:58.486 --> 00:08:01.189
  • So that when the light hit it, it would just cause lights,
  • 00:08:01.189 --> 00:08:03.592
  • A rainbow to fly off, all right?
  • 00:08:03.592 --> 00:08:05.327
  • But to listen.
  • 00:08:05.327 --> 00:08:07.362
  • You know you can do that, you know?
  • 00:08:07.362 --> 00:08:09.798
  • So the colleague passed her my sermon series
  • 00:08:09.798 --> 00:08:13.802
  • For her to listen to.
  • 00:08:13.802 --> 00:08:16.738
  • "that i was reminded once again of my father's love, grace,
  • 00:08:16.738 --> 00:08:20.208
  • And goodness towards me.
  • 00:08:20.208 --> 00:08:22.177
  • And i believe that as i listened, as i listened,
  • 00:08:22.177 --> 00:08:25.547
  • As i listened to the word," preach, you know, it's amazing.
  • 00:08:25.547 --> 00:08:28.883
  • Miracles are received in a simple way.
  • 00:08:28.883 --> 00:08:32.787
  • The world says you got to do this, you got to do that,
  • 00:08:32.787 --> 00:08:35.190
  • All right, but listen.
  • 00:08:35.190 --> 00:08:36.524
  • She says, listen.
  • 00:08:36.524 --> 00:08:38.126
  • One of jesus's favorite expressions when he was walking
  • 00:08:38.126 --> 00:08:40.729
  • On this earth is, "he that have ears to hear, let him hear.
  • 00:08:40.729 --> 00:08:44.699
  • He that have ears to hear, let him hear."
  • 00:08:44.699 --> 00:08:47.002
  • Because right now, you are here but you are not listening.
  • 00:08:47.002 --> 00:08:50.939
  • Or you are listening and you are benefiting.
  • 00:08:50.939 --> 00:08:55.043
  • Are you listening?
  • 00:08:55.043 --> 00:08:57.612
  • When jesus went back to heaven, he sent the holy spirit.
  • 00:08:57.612 --> 00:09:00.081
  • Then in the book of revelation, when jesus is in heaven,
  • 00:09:00.081 --> 00:09:02.550
  • Then the message to the church is,
  • 00:09:02.550 --> 00:09:04.352
  • "if any man have ears to hear,
  • 00:09:04.352 --> 00:09:05.854
  • Let him hear what the spirit says to the churches."
  • 00:09:05.854 --> 00:09:09.891
  • So right now, we are hearing what the holy spirit is saying
  • 00:09:09.891 --> 00:09:12.494
  • Through the pastor and it's affirmed in your heart
  • 00:09:12.494 --> 00:09:15.330
  • By the spirit.
  • 00:09:15.330 --> 00:09:16.765
  • So she says, "as i listened and i believe that as i listened
  • 00:09:16.765 --> 00:09:20.468
  • To the word preached via the cds, my body began healing."
  • 00:09:20.468 --> 00:09:26.408
  • That's the word many of you need.
  • 00:09:26.408 --> 00:09:28.243
  • You're asking, i've been taking communion for a long time
  • 00:09:28.243 --> 00:09:30.011
  • I've been praying for a long time,
  • 00:09:30.011 --> 00:09:31.346
  • I asked god for a long time,
  • 00:09:31.346 --> 00:09:33.181
  • But get back to the way of god, amen.
  • 00:09:33.181 --> 00:09:37.085
  • When you hear, you will take communion
  • 00:09:37.085 --> 00:09:38.820
  • In the right spirit of faith.
  • 00:09:38.820 --> 00:09:40.989
  • You will do everything in the right spirit.
  • 00:09:40.989 --> 00:09:42.457
  • Okay, "as i listened, my body began healing.
  • 00:09:42.457 --> 00:09:44.325
  • Within a month of the medication,
  • 00:09:44.325 --> 00:09:46.728
  • The level of prolactin in my blood decreased
  • 00:09:46.728 --> 00:09:49.197
  • And the balance of chemicals in my body became stable.
  • 00:09:49.197 --> 00:09:52.200
  • After two more months, the mri scan showed
  • 00:09:52.200 --> 00:09:54.703
  • That the tumor had shrunk to half its original size.
  • 00:09:54.703 --> 00:09:59.307
  • I was very encouraged and most importantly, i felt confident
  • 00:09:59.307 --> 00:10:02.644
  • And secure that my god was doing his work of healing in my body
  • 00:10:02.644 --> 00:10:05.947
  • That he loves and cares for me enough to know
  • 00:10:05.947 --> 00:10:07.682
  • That i was hurting and to do something about it.
  • 00:10:07.682 --> 00:10:10.385
  • The best news came in early august when the mri scan
  • 00:10:10.385 --> 00:10:14.556
  • That i went for showed that the macro tumor was gone!"
  • 00:10:14.556 --> 00:10:18.693
  • G-o-n-e.
  • 00:10:18.693 --> 00:10:20.295
  • Exclamation point.
  • 00:10:20.295 --> 00:10:21.896
  • Capital letters.
  • 00:10:21.896 --> 00:10:23.498
  • Gone!
  • 00:10:23.498 --> 00:10:26.034
  • "the doctor was amazed and the doctor kept saying
  • 00:10:26.034 --> 00:10:29.704
  • That in most cases, even when a tumor had shrunk by so much,
  • 00:10:29.704 --> 00:10:34.476
  • There would still be remnants of tumor cells.
  • 00:10:34.476 --> 00:10:37.212
  • But in my case, the tumor was completely gone with no trace
  • 00:10:37.212 --> 00:10:41.082
  • Of any tumor cells at all.
  • 00:10:41.082 --> 00:10:43.184
  • No words can describe how grateful and thankful i am to
  • 00:10:43.184 --> 00:10:45.653
  • God," all right, she said, "i know that i am
  • 00:10:45.653 --> 00:10:47.722
  • The righteousness of god because of what jesus has done for me.
  • 00:10:47.722 --> 00:10:50.525
  • This deep sense of knowing i'm deeply loved and cared for
  • 00:10:50.525 --> 00:10:53.027
  • By god makes me so secure in my relationship with god."
  • 00:10:53.027 --> 00:10:56.131
  • Praise god.
  • 00:10:56.131 --> 00:10:57.532
  • Hallelujah.
  • 00:10:57.532 --> 00:10:59.033
  • All right, now the thing is this.
  • 00:10:59.033 --> 00:11:02.103
  • Miracles are delivered.
  • 00:11:02.103 --> 00:11:03.505
  • God's way of delivering miracles is by preaching which means
  • 00:11:03.505 --> 00:11:07.842
  • Someone is preaching, someone is hearing.
  • 00:11:07.842 --> 00:11:10.712
  • Not just anyone preaching.
  • 00:11:10.712 --> 00:11:12.680
  • And that's why i want to say this in a strong way.
  • 00:11:12.680 --> 00:11:16.918
  • Sometimes people hear messages that are a mixture from people
  • 00:11:16.918 --> 00:11:21.523
  • Who don't have a revelation about how dead we are to the law
  • 00:11:21.523 --> 00:11:24.893
  • That we might bring forth fruit to god and they mix, you know,
  • 00:11:24.893 --> 00:11:27.962
  • Law and grace for example, and you listen to that
  • 00:11:27.962 --> 00:11:30.198
  • And you are confused.
  • 00:11:30.198 --> 00:11:31.800
  • And you come back to us and you vomit on us.
  • 00:11:31.800 --> 00:11:34.669
  • We have to clean up the mess.
  • 00:11:34.669 --> 00:11:36.171
  • We wonder, hey, i can't--i never gave you that.
  • 00:11:36.171 --> 00:11:38.740
  • You know, the thing is that you are listening to a lot of things
  • 00:11:38.740 --> 00:11:42.377
  • And one of the best ways to distract people from listening
  • 00:11:42.377 --> 00:11:45.213
  • Is to give them so much of abundance
  • 00:11:45.213 --> 00:11:47.582
  • That people in the ocean can die of thirst
  • 00:11:47.582 --> 00:11:49.784
  • Because they are surrounded by water
  • 00:11:49.784 --> 00:11:51.486
  • But they think that because water is around them,
  • 00:11:51.486 --> 00:11:53.221
  • That means automatically that translates
  • 00:11:53.221 --> 00:11:54.956
  • To quenching their thirst.
  • 00:11:54.956 --> 00:11:56.324
  • No, 1000 times no.
  • 00:11:56.324 --> 00:11:57.692
  • One of the devices of the enemy is to distract you so much that
  • 00:11:57.692 --> 00:12:00.728
  • When you switch on the computer, the very first page gives you
  • 00:12:00.728 --> 00:12:02.630
  • A lot of news, like a hook, it gets you on and later on,
  • 00:12:02.630 --> 00:12:05.967
  • You forget the very reason you are actually opening up
  • 00:12:05.967 --> 00:12:08.169
  • Your laptop for.
  • 00:12:08.169 --> 00:12:11.406
  • Distraction is one of the ways of the devil.
  • 00:12:11.406 --> 00:12:13.675
  • Just like mary who sat at jesus's feet
  • 00:12:13.675 --> 00:12:15.577
  • When he came to the house.
  • 00:12:15.577 --> 00:12:17.078
  • He who fed more than 5,000 people with five loaves
  • 00:12:17.078 --> 00:12:19.480
  • Don't need you to feed him.
  • 00:12:19.480 --> 00:12:21.716
  • When it comes to your house, the way you compliment him,
  • 00:12:21.716 --> 00:12:23.585
  • The way you make him feel special,
  • 00:12:23.585 --> 00:12:25.153
  • The way you make him feel like god
  • 00:12:25.153 --> 00:12:27.388
  • That he actually is, is to sit at his feet.
  • 00:12:27.388 --> 00:12:29.724
  • And the bible says, "and mary listened to his word."
  • 00:12:29.724 --> 00:12:33.761
  • Mary had a sister called martha, but martha was busy serving.
  • 00:12:33.761 --> 00:12:36.998
  • Serving the lord nonetheless.
  • 00:12:36.998 --> 00:12:38.766
  • So i wanna say a word to all of you here who are serving.
  • 00:12:38.766 --> 00:12:41.803
  • But many a times, because you are serving that day,
  • 00:12:41.803 --> 00:12:43.705
  • You don't even listen to the word.
  • 00:12:43.705 --> 00:12:45.206
  • I'd rather you listen and not serve.
  • 00:12:45.206 --> 00:12:48.543
  • So there comes, you've been robbed.
  • 00:12:48.543 --> 00:12:50.078
  • You've been robbed.
  • 00:12:50.078 --> 00:12:51.412
  • You forget what's important.
  • 00:12:51.412 --> 00:12:52.747
  • Then you lose the motivation for serving.
  • 00:12:52.747 --> 00:12:54.282
  • For a while, you get bitter, you get angry and you leave church.
  • 00:12:54.282 --> 00:12:56.651
  • And the thing is this, because you're not hearing.
  • 00:12:56.651 --> 00:13:00.688
  • And martha came in stressed.
  • 00:13:00.688 --> 00:13:02.857
  • Martha came in angry.
  • 00:13:02.857 --> 00:13:04.926
  • Martha came in complaining to the lord saying
  • 00:13:04.926 --> 00:13:07.795
  • The sister's not helping her and the lord protected mary,
  • 00:13:07.795 --> 00:13:11.399
  • Her place of listening.
  • 00:13:11.399 --> 00:13:12.967
  • And the lord says, "mary chose the good part
  • 00:13:12.967 --> 00:13:14.769
  • Which shall not be taken away from her."
  • 00:13:14.769 --> 00:13:17.105
  • Does that mean that listening, you end up with doing nothing?
  • 00:13:17.105 --> 00:13:20.208
  • No, mary was the only woman that anointed jesus's body
  • 00:13:20.208 --> 00:13:24.145
  • At the right time.
  • 00:13:24.145 --> 00:13:26.180
  • When other women tried to anoint his body
  • 00:13:26.180 --> 00:13:27.949
  • On the resurrection morning, too late, he had risen.
  • 00:13:27.949 --> 00:13:31.486
  • He had risen forever with the fragrance
  • 00:13:31.486 --> 00:13:33.087
  • Of mary's perfume on him.
  • 00:13:33.087 --> 00:13:35.790
  • Mary did the right thing at the right time
  • 00:13:35.790 --> 00:13:37.892
  • Because she listened at jesus's feet.
  • 00:13:37.892 --> 00:13:41.996
  • So when he comes to your house, it's not the natural thing
  • 00:13:41.996 --> 00:13:46.901
  • That will please him.
  • 00:13:46.901 --> 00:13:49.070
  • You think that i must give to him.
  • 00:13:49.070 --> 00:13:50.772
  • No, he wants you to take from him.
  • 00:13:50.772 --> 00:13:52.840
  • Who is the full one?
  • 00:13:52.840 --> 00:13:54.242
  • Who is the f-u-l-l one?
  • 00:13:54.242 --> 00:13:55.977
  • Stop and think.
  • 00:13:55.977 --> 00:13:58.079
  • The greatest posture you can have towards god is listen,
  • 00:13:58.079 --> 00:14:01.215
  • Listen, listen.
  • 00:14:01.215 --> 00:14:02.784
  • But you say, "pastor prince, just by listening
  • 00:14:02.784 --> 00:14:04.152
  • I can get miracles?
  • 00:14:04.152 --> 00:14:05.620
  • Exactly.
  • 00:14:05.620 --> 00:14:06.955
  • Watch this, 1 corinthians 1, it says this,
  • 00:14:06.955 --> 00:14:08.823
  • That "it pleased god by the foolishness of preaching
  • 00:14:08.823 --> 00:14:12.393
  • To save them that believe."
  • 00:14:12.393 --> 00:14:14.228
  • It pleased god.
  • 00:14:14.228 --> 00:14:15.663
  • God's method of delivery of all of heaven's goods and blessings
  • 00:14:15.663 --> 00:14:20.335
  • And god's miracles is by the foolishness of preaching.
  • 00:14:20.335 --> 00:14:25.139
  • You know, not the foolishness of preachers.
  • 00:14:25.139 --> 00:14:27.976
  • Thank god.
  • 00:14:27.976 --> 00:14:30.378
  • The methodology sounds foolish.
  • 00:14:30.378 --> 00:14:32.947
  • A man stands up, he talks, and god delivers.
  • 00:14:32.947 --> 00:14:37.118
  • God heals.
  • 00:14:37.118 --> 00:14:38.720
  • God prospers.
  • 00:14:38.720 --> 00:14:40.054
  • Because the word to save is from the greek word "sozo."
  • 00:14:40.054 --> 00:14:42.357
  • It's not just saved from hell.
  • 00:14:42.357 --> 00:14:43.858
  • Thank god for that.
  • 00:14:43.858 --> 00:14:45.193
  • But it's more than that.
  • 00:14:45.193 --> 00:14:46.527
  • Every time someone gets healed in the new testament,
  • 00:14:46.527 --> 00:14:49.163
  • Physical healing is the word "sozo."
  • 00:14:49.163 --> 00:14:51.532
  • So by the foolishness of preaching, it has pleased god
  • 00:14:51.532 --> 00:14:54.802
  • By this system to heal, to save, to preserve,
  • 00:14:54.802 --> 00:14:59.240
  • To protect, to prosper.
  • 00:14:59.240 --> 00:15:01.209
  • All that is in the word "sozo," amen.
  • 00:15:01.209 --> 00:15:05.913
  • So by the foolishness of preaching, and the thing
  • 00:15:05.913 --> 00:15:08.883
  • Is that we learn that we, faith is imparted
  • 00:15:08.883 --> 00:15:13.788
  • When we hear a preacher.
  • 00:15:13.788 --> 00:15:16.157
  • So what do you do?
  • 00:15:16.157 --> 00:15:17.592
  • You follow the preacher.
  • 00:15:17.592 --> 00:15:19.093
  • In those days, they followed the preacher,
  • 00:15:19.093 --> 00:15:20.661
  • They followed jesus everywhere to get the word.
  • 00:15:20.661 --> 00:15:24.565
  • "oh no, pastor, they went to follow him just to be healed."
  • 00:15:24.565 --> 00:15:26.734
  • No, read carefully.
  • 00:15:26.734 --> 00:15:28.069
  • In luke 5, watch this, in luke 5,
  • 00:15:28.069 --> 00:15:29.604
  • "however, the report went around concerning jesus
  • 00:15:29.604 --> 00:15:32.173
  • All the more; and great multitudes
  • 00:15:32.173 --> 00:15:34.475
  • Came together to hear, and to be healed."
  • 00:15:34.475 --> 00:15:39.247
  • Say, "to hear and then be healed."
  • 00:15:39.247 --> 00:15:42.984
  • Jesus would always preach first.
  • 00:15:42.984 --> 00:15:46.587
  • Bible says, "and jesus went about preaching
  • 00:15:46.587 --> 00:15:48.689
  • And teaching and healing."
  • 00:15:48.689 --> 00:15:50.958
  • It's always preaching and teaching and healing.
  • 00:15:50.958 --> 00:15:54.195
  • When he is preaching, people are hearing.
  • 00:15:54.195 --> 00:15:57.465
  • When people are hearing, they get healing.
  • 00:15:57.465 --> 00:16:02.136
  • We are so distracted, we've been robbed.
  • 00:16:02.136 --> 00:16:04.338
  • This early this week, i spoke to darren, pastor darren.
  • 00:16:04.338 --> 00:16:10.144
  • Years ago when he was a teenager, he came to our church.
  • 00:16:10.144 --> 00:16:15.016
  • He has no father.
  • 00:16:15.016 --> 00:16:16.384
  • He was brought up by his mom, the only son.
  • 00:16:16.384 --> 00:16:21.689
  • And before he came to our church, he fell into bad company
  • 00:16:21.689 --> 00:16:27.228
  • And didn't want to study, wasn't doing well in school
  • 00:16:27.228 --> 00:16:30.465
  • And his friends and all that brought him out,
  • 00:16:30.465 --> 00:16:32.233
  • You know, and i just know that i think
  • 00:16:32.233 --> 00:16:34.702
  • There was a gang fight or something like that.
  • 00:16:34.702 --> 00:16:36.170
  • He ended up in the police station with his friends.
  • 00:16:36.170 --> 00:16:38.673
  • Pastor darren.
  • 00:16:38.673 --> 00:16:42.343
  • He wasn't a pastor of course at the time,
  • 00:16:42.343 --> 00:16:43.678
  • But he spent one night in the police station.
  • 00:16:43.678 --> 00:16:47.715
  • After that, someone brought him to church and he listened.
  • 00:16:47.715 --> 00:16:51.152
  • Now, i wanna say a word to all the pastors and leaders
  • 00:16:51.152 --> 00:16:53.554
  • That are here.
  • 00:16:53.554 --> 00:16:54.889
  • We say that young people have no heart for god's word.
  • 00:16:54.889 --> 00:16:56.691
  • There are so many temptations out there.
  • 00:16:56.691 --> 00:16:58.526
  • Let me tell you this, young people want reality.
  • 00:16:58.526 --> 00:17:02.296
  • And they know many of the times they are hearing things
  • 00:17:02.296 --> 00:17:04.198
  • That are fake but they allow themselves to, you know,
  • 00:17:04.198 --> 00:17:07.301
  • But when they encounter reality, they know it.
  • 00:17:07.301 --> 00:17:11.005
  • You cannot con this generation, amen.
  • 00:17:11.005 --> 00:17:15.610
  • When he came to church, he heard the preaching of the word.
  • 00:17:15.610 --> 00:17:17.745
  • Something happened to him.
  • 00:17:17.745 --> 00:17:19.080
  • This young man, probably only in his teens,
  • 00:17:19.080 --> 00:17:22.450
  • He emptied his savings.
  • 00:17:22.450 --> 00:17:24.619
  • He had some, you know, a savings of about--
  • 00:17:24.619 --> 00:17:27.421
  • He emptied his savings.
  • 00:17:27.421 --> 00:17:28.923
  • I just know that he purchased $1000 worth of cassettes
  • 00:17:28.923 --> 00:17:34.629
  • Of my sermon.
  • 00:17:34.629 --> 00:17:37.632
  • And one of them, the series that he loved the most is the series
  • 00:17:37.632 --> 00:17:40.034
  • I did on wisdom, especially on solomon, wisdom.
  • 00:17:40.034 --> 00:17:45.373
  • As a young teenager, he started listening to it.
  • 00:17:45.373 --> 00:17:47.208
  • He said, day and night, he started listening to it,
  • 00:17:47.208 --> 00:17:48.809
  • Listening to it, listening to it.
  • 00:17:48.809 --> 00:17:50.545
  • Cut the long story short, he went for further studies.
  • 00:17:50.545 --> 00:17:53.681
  • He did well.
  • 00:17:53.681 --> 00:17:55.016
  • He went for further studies in australia
  • 00:17:55.016 --> 00:17:57.652
  • And graduated with top honors among the top students.
  • 00:17:57.652 --> 00:18:01.989
  • And when he came back, i didn't know about all this,
  • 00:18:01.989 --> 00:18:04.592
  • I knew about all this later.
  • 00:18:04.592 --> 00:18:06.894
  • When he came back, when my ministry,
  • 00:18:06.894 --> 00:18:09.330
  • God opened up doors for my ministry and all that
  • 00:18:09.330 --> 00:18:11.265
  • And i was on the search, on the lookout for someone
  • 00:18:11.265 --> 00:18:13.434
  • To run my ministry, i looked at darren
  • 00:18:13.434 --> 00:18:15.636
  • And at that time i don't know him well.
  • 00:18:15.636 --> 00:18:17.505
  • In the same way, i look at a lot of my leaders.
  • 00:18:17.505 --> 00:18:19.807
  • I don't spend time with them.
  • 00:18:19.807 --> 00:18:21.142
  • I spend time with my call pastors
  • 00:18:21.142 --> 00:18:23.411
  • And darren wasn't a pastor.
  • 00:18:23.411 --> 00:18:25.079
  • And i look at him just a short time.
  • 00:18:25.079 --> 00:18:26.547
  • God gave him so much favor with me.
  • 00:18:26.547 --> 00:18:28.015
  • I don't know him well, you know, and he has no experience
  • 00:18:28.015 --> 00:18:30.351
  • To run a tv ministry.
  • 00:18:30.351 --> 00:18:32.086
  • He has no experience to run an international ministry,
  • 00:18:32.086 --> 00:18:34.088
  • Let alone tv ministry, you know, of that caliber.
  • 00:18:34.088 --> 00:18:38.559
  • And yet, i entrusted him with that responsibility.
  • 00:18:38.559 --> 00:18:42.363
  • Cut the long story short, today,
  • 00:18:42.363 --> 00:18:44.065
  • He runs my ministry internationally.
  • 00:18:44.065 --> 00:18:47.134
  • And i don't think my ministry will be where it is today
  • 00:18:47.134 --> 00:18:48.903
  • Had it not been for pastor darren
  • 00:18:48.903 --> 00:18:50.771
  • And god using him in that area, amen.
  • 00:18:50.771 --> 00:18:56.444
  • People, listen, look up here.
  • 00:18:56.444 --> 00:18:59.013
  • Sometimes what i'm preaching is not even relating
  • 00:18:59.013 --> 00:19:03.818
  • To what you're going through.
  • 00:19:03.818 --> 00:19:05.586
  • Maybe i'm preaching on parenting but you're going through
  • 00:19:05.586 --> 00:19:08.656
  • A physical problem.
  • 00:19:08.656 --> 00:19:10.558
  • Maybe i'm preaching on, you know, the rapture
  • 00:19:10.558 --> 00:19:16.464
  • And you are saying, "pastor, my marriage is breaking apart,
  • 00:19:16.464 --> 00:19:19.700
  • If only you knew."
  • 00:19:19.700 --> 00:19:21.369
  • But friend, this is the beauty of god's word.
  • 00:19:21.369 --> 00:19:24.939
  • That when, regardless of what you are listening,
  • 00:19:24.939 --> 00:19:27.041
  • When you listen to your sermon, whatever you are listening,
  • 00:19:27.041 --> 00:19:29.577
  • People ask me, "pastor, which cd should i get?
  • 00:19:29.577 --> 00:19:31.746
  • What should i listen to?"
  • 00:19:31.746 --> 00:19:33.214
  • When they go to a sermon.
  • 00:19:33.214 --> 00:19:34.548
  • Any of them is good.
  • 00:19:34.548 --> 00:19:37.351
  • Because you know why?
  • 00:19:37.351 --> 00:19:39.153
  • The phenomena of god's word is this, in your light,
  • 00:19:39.153 --> 00:19:43.057
  • Psalm 36 says, "with you god is the fountain of life;
  • 00:19:43.057 --> 00:19:47.762
  • In your light we see light."
  • 00:19:47.762 --> 00:19:52.300
  • In other words, all you need is that when you are hearing
  • 00:19:52.300 --> 00:19:54.035
  • God's word, all of a sudden, you get enlightened.
  • 00:19:54.035 --> 00:19:56.904
  • When you are enlightened, let's say for example, i lost my pen.
  • 00:19:56.904 --> 00:20:00.374
  • I love my pen, this pen particularly a lot.
  • 00:20:00.374 --> 00:20:03.077
  • And i lost my pen in a room, okay?
  • 00:20:03.077 --> 00:20:05.646
  • And the room is very dark.
  • 00:20:05.646 --> 00:20:07.615
  • I don't know, the room is very cluttered with a lot of boxes
  • 00:20:07.615 --> 00:20:09.350
  • And things like that.
  • 00:20:09.350 --> 00:20:10.718
  • But i don't know, i was in this room early on and my pen
  • 00:20:10.718 --> 00:20:12.586
  • Probably dropped somewhere.
  • 00:20:12.586 --> 00:20:13.921
  • Now, if i grope in the dark, all right,
  • 00:20:13.921 --> 00:20:16.524
  • I will grope for a long time.
  • 00:20:16.524 --> 00:20:19.660
  • But what if i switch on the light?
  • 00:20:19.660 --> 00:20:22.563
  • In the light, i see my pen.
  • 00:20:22.563 --> 00:20:25.399
  • And not only my pen, all of a sudden i see a book
  • 00:20:25.399 --> 00:20:27.268
  • That i have lost for some time.
  • 00:20:27.268 --> 00:20:29.303
  • In the light, we see light.
  • 00:20:29.303 --> 00:20:30.838
  • Even though the sermon is not about,
  • 00:20:30.838 --> 00:20:33.341
  • Maybe you are in need in terms of your parenting,
  • 00:20:33.341 --> 00:20:37.078
  • You know, skills or whatever it is, but all of a sudden,
  • 00:20:37.078 --> 00:20:39.547
  • I'm preaching on the rapture and all of a sudden,
  • 00:20:39.547 --> 00:20:42.216
  • The light that comes on helps you see
  • 00:20:42.216 --> 00:20:44.952
  • This is where i'm missing it.
  • 00:20:44.952 --> 00:20:46.620
  • God begins to speak.
  • 00:20:46.620 --> 00:20:47.955
  • In his light, we see light.
  • 00:20:47.955 --> 00:20:50.358
  • Have you had that experience before?
  • 00:20:50.358 --> 00:20:52.093
  • You sit down there and all of a sudden like just a perspective,
  • 00:20:52.093 --> 00:20:55.162
  • Hey i'm not worried about that anymore, right?
  • 00:20:55.162 --> 00:20:57.498
  • It seems so small.
  • 00:20:57.498 --> 00:20:58.899
  • And yet i'm not preaching about it.
  • 00:20:58.899 --> 00:21:02.169
  • In his light, you know how the light comes?
  • 00:21:02.169 --> 00:21:04.505
  • Psalms 119, it says, "the entrance of your words
  • 00:21:04.505 --> 00:21:08.376
  • Gives light; it gives understanding to the simple."
  • 00:21:08.376 --> 00:21:14.181
  • Don't be simple.
  • 00:21:14.181 --> 00:21:16.317
  • Be people of understanding that comes from god.
  • 00:21:16.317 --> 00:21:18.652
  • You know what gives light?
  • 00:21:18.652 --> 00:21:20.354
  • The entrance.
  • 00:21:20.354 --> 00:21:21.756
  • And the hebrew word there is, "pethach."
  • 00:21:21.756 --> 00:21:23.724
  • "pethach" means open.
  • 00:21:23.724 --> 00:21:25.559
  • The opening of god's word.
  • 00:21:25.559 --> 00:21:26.894
  • The expounding of god's word.
  • 00:21:26.894 --> 00:21:28.329
  • That's what i'm doing right now.
  • 00:21:28.329 --> 00:21:29.663
  • I'm expounding god's word.
  • 00:21:29.663 --> 00:21:31.098
  • Imagine you're hearing all day.
  • 00:21:31.098 --> 00:21:33.167
  • You're driving your car.
  • 00:21:33.167 --> 00:21:34.602
  • You're listening.
  • 00:21:34.602 --> 00:21:36.070
  • The exposition of god's word.
  • 00:21:36.070 --> 00:21:37.638
  • You know what's happening?
  • 00:21:37.638 --> 00:21:38.973
  • Light is coming. light is coming.
  • 00:21:38.973 --> 00:21:40.307
  • Light is coming.
  • 00:21:40.307 --> 00:21:41.642
  • When your boss asks you for something,
  • 00:21:41.642 --> 00:21:42.977
  • All of a sudden you have the idea.
  • 00:21:42.977 --> 00:21:44.311
  • Why?
  • 00:21:44.311 --> 00:21:45.646
  • In his light, you see light.
  • 00:21:45.646 --> 00:21:46.981
  • You see other things in the room
  • 00:21:46.981 --> 00:21:48.315
  • That you don't even realize was lost.
  • 00:21:48.315 --> 00:21:50.851
  • Doesn't really matter what the subject is.
  • 00:21:50.851 --> 00:21:52.953
  • The subject may be on prayer, but when you listen to it,
  • 00:21:52.953 --> 00:21:55.990
  • You receive light for your relationship
  • 00:21:55.990 --> 00:21:58.225
  • With your teenage boy.
  • 00:21:58.225 --> 00:21:59.860
  • All of a sudden, you know what to do.
  • 00:21:59.860 --> 00:22:01.295
  • You see the problem.
  • 00:22:01.295 --> 00:22:02.897
  • In his light, we see light, amen.
  • 00:22:02.897 --> 00:22:07.401
  • And his light comes by the expounding of god,
  • 00:22:07.401 --> 00:22:10.271
  • The entrance of god's word gives light.
  • 00:22:10.271 --> 00:22:11.906
