  • 00:00:00.633 --> 00:00:00.319
  • Pastor joseph prince: sometimes you find that,
  • 00:00:11.830 --> 00:00:13.665
  • "man, i need god for this."
  • 00:00:13.665 --> 00:00:15.767
  • You say that, "i'm not enough." that's the word sufficiency.
  • 00:00:15.767 --> 00:00:18.270
  • "i don't think i'm enough for this task.
  • 00:00:18.270 --> 00:00:19.872
  • I don't think i'm enough." it's not about you.
  • 00:00:19.872 --> 00:00:21.874
  • The sufficiency doesn't come from you.
  • 00:00:21.874 --> 00:00:24.309
  • Your sufficiency comes from him.
  • 00:00:24.309 --> 00:00:27.346

  • And now, here is pastor joseph prince
  • 00:01:36.048 --> 00:01:38.450
  • With today's program.
  • 00:01:38.450 --> 00:01:39.785
  • Pastor joseph prince: why are we so easily conscious
  • 00:01:39.785 --> 00:01:42.788
  • Of ourselves, shy, angry, bitter,
  • 00:01:42.788 --> 00:01:47.159
  • Feel that we have a sense of entitlement.
  • 00:01:47.159 --> 00:01:50.562
  • Why do we feel?
  • 00:01:50.562 --> 00:01:51.897
  • You know why?
  • 00:01:51.897 --> 00:01:53.232
  • We are too self-occupied.
  • 00:01:53.232 --> 00:01:54.666
  • We get hurt because we are too self-occupied.
  • 00:01:54.666 --> 00:01:58.503
  • We don't know how to set ourselves free.
  • 00:01:58.503 --> 00:02:01.006
  • We think about ourselves all the time.
  • 00:02:01.006 --> 00:02:02.808
  • Every little pain, every little discomfort in our mind,
  • 00:02:02.808 --> 00:02:05.811
  • In our thoughts and all that
  • 00:02:05.811 --> 00:02:07.379
  • Shows that we are very self-occupied.
  • 00:02:07.379 --> 00:02:10.249
  • And the whole purpose of the bible is to free you from that
  • 00:02:10.249 --> 00:02:14.920
  • And to keep you occupied with christ.
  • 00:02:14.920 --> 00:02:17.656
  • His beauty and glory, amen.
  • 00:02:17.656 --> 00:02:21.093
  • Like the woman at the well, she was self-occupied.
  • 00:02:21.093 --> 00:02:24.630
  • Why did she come in the afternoon?
  • 00:02:24.630 --> 00:02:26.465
  • In the mid-afternoon when the sun is so hot.
  • 00:02:26.465 --> 00:02:28.667
  • Many of you have been to israel, all right,
  • 00:02:28.667 --> 00:02:30.569
  • Especially during the summer days.
  • 00:02:30.569 --> 00:02:32.037
  • Wow, i'm telling you, it's very hot during noon time
  • 00:02:32.037 --> 00:02:35.407
  • And the bible gave the timing.
  • 00:02:35.407 --> 00:02:37.009
  • So, she came there when it's really hot.
  • 00:02:37.009 --> 00:02:39.478
  • Most women would go draw water from the well early
  • 00:02:39.478 --> 00:02:42.147
  • In the morning or late in the evening.
  • 00:02:42.147 --> 00:02:45.317
  • But she went in the noon time and jesus was there sitting down
  • 00:02:45.317 --> 00:02:48.620
  • After a long journey.
  • 00:02:48.620 --> 00:02:52.891
  • And you count the words jesus spoke, only seven words to her,
  • 00:02:52.891 --> 00:02:58.530
  • All right?
  • 00:02:58.530 --> 00:02:59.865
  • Only seven words.
  • 00:02:59.865 --> 00:03:03.769
  • One of them is, the woman says,
  • 00:03:03.769 --> 00:03:05.804
  • "we know that when the messiah comes,
  • 00:03:05.804 --> 00:03:07.906
  • He will tell us all things."
  • 00:03:07.906 --> 00:03:09.308
  • Jesus says, "i, who speak unto you, i am he."
  • 00:03:09.308 --> 00:03:13.545
  • Okay, now, he sat down and the bible says, "he was tired."
  • 00:03:13.545 --> 00:03:16.448
  • Don't forget, he came as a man, amen.
  • 00:03:16.448 --> 00:03:20.786
  • In this man, it's the whole godhead, okay?
  • 00:03:20.786 --> 00:03:27.392
  • "in him are hid all the treasures of the godhead."
  • 00:03:27.392 --> 00:03:29.061
  • But then, he didn't come to manifest himself as god.
  • 00:03:29.061 --> 00:03:33.365
  • The word became flesh.
  • 00:03:33.365 --> 00:03:34.800
  • The word was god and the word became flesh.
  • 00:03:34.800 --> 00:03:37.369
  • So he came fully as a man, without sin.
  • 00:03:37.369 --> 00:03:42.074
  • So, the woman came in the afternoon
  • 00:03:42.074 --> 00:03:43.642
  • And you know the story how he asked her for a favor, amen.
  • 00:03:43.642 --> 00:03:46.845
  • And she says, "how come you are a jew you asked me?"
  • 00:03:46.845 --> 00:03:49.081
  • And all that.
  • 00:03:49.081 --> 00:03:50.415
  • And then finally, he says, "the water that i give,
  • 00:03:50.415 --> 00:03:51.850
  • You will drink of it, you will never thirst again."
  • 00:03:51.850 --> 00:03:53.485
  • Then she says, "call your husband here."
  • 00:03:53.485 --> 00:03:55.887
  • "i have no husband."
  • 00:03:55.887 --> 00:03:57.322
  • And jesus says, "you are right.
  • 00:03:57.322 --> 00:03:58.657
  • You had five husbands and the one that you are living with
  • 00:03:58.657 --> 00:04:00.292
  • Is not your husband."
  • 00:04:00.292 --> 00:04:01.660
  • You see, jesus had to tell her, i know all about you
  • 00:04:01.660 --> 00:04:04.763
  • In order to make her really feel loved.
  • 00:04:04.763 --> 00:04:07.399
  • Because when people think that you love them, but they think
  • 00:04:07.399 --> 00:04:10.769
  • In their heart, you don't know who i am and what i'm hiding,
  • 00:04:10.769 --> 00:04:14.239
  • They don't really feel loved.
  • 00:04:14.239 --> 00:04:16.308
  • They think that you love the facade.
  • 00:04:16.308 --> 00:04:19.478
  • But jesus needs to tell her, i know all about you
  • 00:04:19.478 --> 00:04:21.980
  • And i'm still here.
  • 00:04:21.980 --> 00:04:23.315
  • I love you.
  • 00:04:23.315 --> 00:04:24.750
  • That is love.
  • 00:04:24.750 --> 00:04:26.451
  • And then, you know something, he revealed himself to her
  • 00:04:26.451 --> 00:04:29.321
  • As the messiah.
  • 00:04:29.321 --> 00:04:31.189
  • "i who speak unto you, i am he."
  • 00:04:31.189 --> 00:04:35.127
  • Then she knows, the messiah is talking to me.
  • 00:04:35.127 --> 00:04:38.997
  • Jesus, the anointed one, the promised one
  • 00:04:38.997 --> 00:04:42.434
  • Down through the pages of the bible,
  • 00:04:42.434 --> 00:04:45.303
  • Is now here and telling me
  • 00:04:45.303 --> 00:04:46.772
  • He knows all about me and he loves me.
  • 00:04:46.772 --> 00:04:50.342
  • This is john chapter 4.
  • 00:04:50.342 --> 00:04:52.411
  • John chapter 3, a ruler of the synagogue came to jesus.
  • 00:04:52.411 --> 00:04:56.248
  • Jesus never said, "i am the messiah" to him.
  • 00:04:56.248 --> 00:04:59.851
  • With all his erudite learning and his name is in the
  • 00:04:59.851 --> 00:05:04.623
  • Who-is-who in the jerusalem pages of the vips and the vvips.
  • 00:05:04.623 --> 00:05:12.197
  • Jesus tells him, "you know, with all your knowledge,
  • 00:05:12.197 --> 00:05:14.766
  • You have to be born again."
  • 00:05:14.766 --> 00:05:18.236
  • To her, he never used the word born again.
  • 00:05:18.236 --> 00:05:20.605
  • He revealed himself to her.
  • 00:05:20.605 --> 00:05:22.841
  • He didn't reveal himself to the master of israel.
  • 00:05:22.841 --> 00:05:26.111
  • Someone who is a theologian of theologians.
  • 00:05:26.111 --> 00:05:30.081
  • Do you get it?
  • 00:05:30.081 --> 00:05:32.117
  • He loves the lowly-hearted.
  • 00:05:32.117 --> 00:05:36.488
  • Recently, i'm reminded again of pride.
  • 00:05:36.488 --> 00:05:38.356
  • You know, i find that god hates pride.
  • 00:05:38.356 --> 00:05:42.627
  • I think it's the mother of all sin
  • 00:05:42.627 --> 00:05:44.629
  • Because if you take this fruit, you'll become like god.
  • 00:05:44.629 --> 00:05:50.268
  • Actually, they were already godly, made in the image of god.
  • 00:05:50.268 --> 00:05:53.939
  • But then they tried by their works
  • 00:05:53.939 --> 00:05:55.674
  • To become like what they already are.
  • 00:05:55.674 --> 00:05:58.510
  • That's pride, amen.
  • 00:05:58.510 --> 00:06:03.715
  • I mean, the devil who was tempting them,
  • 00:06:03.715 --> 00:06:06.318
  • He himself fell because of pride.
  • 00:06:06.318 --> 00:06:10.655
  • He looked himself in the mirror every day and said,
  • 00:06:10.655 --> 00:06:12.624
  • "mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?"
  • 00:06:12.624 --> 00:06:15.894
  • Okay, and he's the most beautiful of all the archangels.
  • 00:06:15.894 --> 00:06:20.765
  • All right, at least the bible talks about his beauty.
  • 00:06:20.765 --> 00:06:22.367
  • It doesn't talk about the beauty of the rest.
  • 00:06:22.367 --> 00:06:23.869
  • I'm sure that all of them are glorious and beautiful.
  • 00:06:23.869 --> 00:06:25.570
  • But he was obsessed with his beauty.
  • 00:06:25.570 --> 00:06:28.139
  • Ladies, certain level of vanity is not what i'm talking about,
  • 00:06:28.139 --> 00:06:32.944
  • All right.
  • 00:06:32.944 --> 00:06:34.279
  • But it's like pride.
  • 00:06:34.279 --> 00:06:36.047
  • You know, it's like, i don't need god.
  • 00:06:36.047 --> 00:06:39.117
  • I can do it myself.
  • 00:06:39.117 --> 00:06:41.186
  • It's pride.
  • 00:06:41.186 --> 00:06:42.587
  • The reason why marriages break down is because of pride,
  • 00:06:42.587 --> 00:06:46.725
  • Selfishness, amen.
  • 00:06:46.725 --> 00:06:48.894
  • I'm looking out for number one.
  • 00:06:48.894 --> 00:06:50.262
  • Hey, your joy, you should find your joy in sacrifice.
  • 00:06:50.262 --> 00:06:55.000
  • You should find your joy in loving.
  • 00:06:55.000 --> 00:06:56.902
  • You should find your joy in serving.
  • 00:06:56.902 --> 00:07:00.038
  • Love, 1 corinthians 13, love believes the best
  • 00:07:00.038 --> 00:07:02.774
  • Of every person.
  • 00:07:02.774 --> 00:07:06.811
  • Our natural tendency is to believe the worst.
  • 00:07:06.811 --> 00:07:09.047
  • Something happens, the person is involved, i know it's you.
  • 00:07:09.047 --> 00:07:12.417
  • And it's very unfair.
  • 00:07:12.417 --> 00:07:16.421
  • Recently, my son had a conference with his father,
  • 00:07:16.421 --> 00:07:22.894
  • Mother, sister.
  • 00:07:22.894 --> 00:07:26.665
  • Twelve-years-old.
  • 00:07:26.665 --> 00:07:28.333
  • And he says, "i just want to share that you all
  • 00:07:28.333 --> 00:07:31.603
  • Tend to blame me first when something goes wrong."
  • 00:07:31.603 --> 00:07:35.340
  • He's the youngest, right?
  • 00:07:35.340 --> 00:07:36.775
  • So, you know, wow, he's come to the age
  • 00:07:36.775 --> 00:07:38.944
  • Where he can speak for himself.
  • 00:07:38.944 --> 00:07:40.712
  • And i said, "when? when did i do that?"
  • 00:07:40.712 --> 00:07:43.181
  • "yeah, you know, that day we went out together,
  • 00:07:43.181 --> 00:07:44.583
  • We bought soya bean, right?
  • 00:07:44.583 --> 00:07:46.151
  • You carried one packet of soya bean, right?
  • 00:07:46.151 --> 00:07:48.753
  • And i carried another packet.
  • 00:07:48.753 --> 00:07:50.188
  • Remember that we went to the toilet together.
  • 00:07:50.188 --> 00:07:52.290
  • Okay, and then later on in the car, i realized,
  • 00:07:52.290 --> 00:07:54.092
  • Hey, how come there's only one soya bean?
  • 00:07:54.092 --> 00:07:55.460
  • Justin, where's yours?"
  • 00:07:55.460 --> 00:07:56.928
  • Actually, i put mine in the toilet to wash my hands,
  • 00:07:56.928 --> 00:08:05.236
  • All right.
  • 00:08:05.236 --> 00:08:06.571
  • He was still holding his, but i was quick to say, he said,
  • 00:08:06.571 --> 00:08:08.306
  • "remember, all right, it was yours, but you pointed to me.
  • 00:08:08.306 --> 00:08:11.943
  • You said that, you know, justin, justin, justin."
  • 00:08:11.943 --> 00:08:14.346
  • And then he told his sister something else, "you also."
  • 00:08:14.346 --> 00:08:17.182
  • You know, it's like all of us, very quick to find him.
  • 00:08:17.182 --> 00:08:22.287
  • Of course, in our mind, it's that you are the youngest and
  • 00:08:22.287 --> 00:08:24.589
  • Most subject to making mistakes and things like that, right?
  • 00:08:24.589 --> 00:08:27.892
  • Which has some track record before, right?
  • 00:08:27.892 --> 00:08:31.096
  • But then even then, i think to myself, you know,
  • 00:08:31.096 --> 00:08:32.931
  • That verse in 1 corinthians 13 says,
  • 00:08:32.931 --> 00:08:35.867
  • "love believes the best of every person," right?
  • 00:08:35.867 --> 00:08:40.071
  • I think it's important that they see that in our lives.
  • 00:08:40.071 --> 00:08:44.142
  • It's not so much our sermons, you know.
  • 00:08:44.142 --> 00:08:46.244
  • It's not all our preaching to them, you know,
  • 00:08:46.244 --> 00:08:49.347
  • That makes an impact.
  • 00:08:49.347 --> 00:08:50.682
  • It's what they are seeing.
  • 00:08:50.682 --> 00:08:52.017
  • If you preach one thing and you're living another way,
  • 00:08:52.017 --> 00:08:54.185
  • They are observing.
  • 00:08:54.185 --> 00:08:56.054
  • Every day, you know, is a living example.
  • 00:08:56.054 --> 00:09:00.892
  • Are you with me so far?
  • 00:09:00.892 --> 00:09:03.728
  • Do you understand?
  • 00:09:03.728 --> 00:09:05.497
  • Okay, that's why the bible says,
  • 00:09:05.497 --> 00:09:06.831
  • "you are letters read of all men."
  • 00:09:06.831 --> 00:09:08.533
  • I'm going to show you this in 2 corinthians 3.
  • 00:09:08.533 --> 00:09:10.535
  • It says, "do we begin again to commend ourselves?"
  • 00:09:10.535 --> 00:09:13.405
  • Paul is writing this.
  • 00:09:13.405 --> 00:09:14.739
  • "or do we need, as some other people, epistles of commendation
  • 00:09:14.739 --> 00:09:17.809
  • To you or letters of commendation from you?"
  • 00:09:17.809 --> 00:09:20.078
  • You see, when i want to go to a certain location, do i need you
  • 00:09:20.078 --> 00:09:22.914
  • All to send me letters of commendation about me?
  • 00:09:22.914 --> 00:09:25.884
  • So i come to you with letters of commendation from this vip,
  • 00:09:25.884 --> 00:09:28.753
  • From this roman centurion, from this person,
  • 00:09:28.753 --> 00:09:32.691
  • From that person.
  • 00:09:32.691 --> 00:09:34.025
  • Do i need that?
  • 00:09:34.025 --> 00:09:35.727
  • From other pastors of churches, i must gather all this
  • 00:09:35.727 --> 00:09:39.964
  • Before you welcome me.
  • 00:09:39.964 --> 00:09:41.299
  • Paul says, "do i need letters of commendation from you,"
  • 00:09:41.299 --> 00:09:45.403
  • Or to you even?
  • 00:09:45.403 --> 00:09:47.172
  • "you are our epistle written in our hearts,
  • 00:09:47.172 --> 00:09:49.374
  • Known and read by all men."
  • 00:09:49.374 --> 00:09:50.709
  • I love this.
  • 00:09:50.709 --> 00:09:52.043
  • You know what he's saying?
  • 00:09:52.043 --> 00:09:54.379
  • "guys, you know what commends my ministry to people?
  • 00:09:54.379 --> 00:09:55.714
  • When they look at you."
  • 00:09:55.714 --> 00:09:57.315
  • Paul is saying, "you are our epistle written in our hearts,
  • 00:09:57.315 --> 00:10:00.218
  • Known and read by all men."
  • 00:10:00.218 --> 00:10:01.653
  • He's saying, "my recommendation for my ministry
  • 00:10:01.653 --> 00:10:04.622
  • Comes from people reading you.
  • 00:10:04.622 --> 00:10:07.459
  • They look at your lives, they look at you, and they see,
  • 00:10:07.459 --> 00:10:09.627
  • They say that, 'this is a love letter.
  • 00:10:09.627 --> 00:10:12.097
  • I know this guy.
  • 00:10:12.097 --> 00:10:13.598
  • He has now transformed.
  • 00:10:13.598 --> 00:10:15.567
  • Look at his family.'"
  • 00:10:15.567 --> 00:10:17.068
  • When they look at your life, okay, amen?
  • 00:10:17.068 --> 00:10:22.474
  • You are the bible that people read.
  • 00:10:22.474 --> 00:10:24.342
  • You read your bible, people read you.
  • 00:10:24.342 --> 00:10:28.947
  • Amen, it's got to reflect.
  • 00:10:28.947 --> 00:10:30.482
  • They got to look at you and one thing you cannot take away,
  • 00:10:30.482 --> 00:10:34.519
  • I always tell the pastors this also.
  • 00:10:34.519 --> 00:10:36.721
  • And when we choose people and all that for certain roles
  • 00:10:36.721 --> 00:10:40.225
  • And all that, we always tell, i always say this.
  • 00:10:40.225 --> 00:10:43.328
  • Look for people who are radiant.
  • 00:10:43.328 --> 00:10:45.830
  • I don't care their age.
  • 00:10:45.830 --> 00:10:47.265
  • I don't care their sex.
  • 00:10:47.265 --> 00:10:49.000
  • I don't care whether male, female, young, old.
  • 00:10:49.000 --> 00:10:51.803
  • I don't care about all that.
  • 00:10:51.803 --> 00:10:53.538
  • I want to see even if they're graying and all that,
  • 00:10:53.538 --> 00:10:56.908
  • But there's a twinkle in their eye, there's a shine.
  • 00:10:56.908 --> 00:11:00.111
  • Even if they are young, they seem inexperienced and all that.
  • 00:11:00.111 --> 00:11:02.380
  • But when they lead worship, there's a shine.
  • 00:11:02.380 --> 00:11:06.151
  • I tell you this, there's something
  • 00:11:06.151 --> 00:11:07.485
  • That you cannot hide, amen.
  • 00:11:07.485 --> 00:11:10.355
  • Because if there's no shine, he could be practicing some sin
  • 00:11:10.355 --> 00:11:14.826
  • Behind closed doors, or he has some wrong affairs,
  • 00:11:14.826 --> 00:11:19.364
  • Or she might be involved in some depressive thoughts
  • 00:11:19.364 --> 00:11:22.000
  • And all that.
  • 00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:23.468
  • But on sunday, just come here and just sing and smile.
  • 00:11:23.468 --> 00:11:25.637
  • But then, there's no shine.
  • 00:11:25.637 --> 00:11:27.539
  • They can smile but there's no shine.
  • 00:11:27.539 --> 00:11:28.973
  • I'm not talking about handsome.
  • 00:11:28.973 --> 00:11:30.909
  • I'm not talking about beautiful.
  • 00:11:30.909 --> 00:11:32.911
  • Nothing to do with the physical.
  • 00:11:32.911 --> 00:11:34.345
  • I'm talking about the shine.
  • 00:11:34.345 --> 00:11:36.648
  • And that's something you cannot hide.
  • 00:11:36.648 --> 00:11:38.550
  • Ecclesiastes says, "a man's wisdom
  • 00:11:38.550 --> 00:11:40.618
  • Maketh his face to shine," amen.
  • 00:11:40.618 --> 00:11:44.022
  • "they look to the lord," the psalmist says,
  • 00:11:44.022 --> 00:11:46.124
  • "and they are radiant."
  • 00:11:46.124 --> 00:11:48.059
  • You know what's radiant?
  • 00:11:48.059 --> 00:11:49.494
  • It's amazing, i've seen people who are radiant.
  • 00:11:49.494 --> 00:11:51.029
  • It's like their face is shining.
  • 00:11:51.029 --> 00:11:53.865
  • And many of you do not know, you know.
  • 00:11:53.865 --> 00:11:55.767
  • You don't realize many times i'm preaching, i'm preaching.
  • 00:11:55.767 --> 00:11:57.802
  • I want to stop and take a picture of all of you.
  • 00:11:57.802 --> 00:12:00.305
  • Because as god's word is being opened,
  • 00:12:00.305 --> 00:12:02.674
  • You don't realize your face is shining, you know.
  • 00:12:02.674 --> 00:12:05.944
  • And all of you look beautiful, i'm telling you.
  • 00:12:05.944 --> 00:12:08.313
  • Have you seen ladies, you know, that are involved in things
  • 00:12:08.313 --> 00:12:12.050
  • That are not supposed to be, or they call it
  • 00:12:12.050 --> 00:12:13.685
  • Ladies of the night and all that?
  • 00:12:13.685 --> 00:12:15.153
  • They want you for the money.
  • 00:12:15.153 --> 00:12:18.590
  • And you're reminded of the woman of the well.
  • 00:12:18.590 --> 00:12:20.892
  • How jesus loves people like this.
  • 00:12:20.892 --> 00:12:23.595
  • And they need the lord, amen.
  • 00:12:23.595 --> 00:12:27.198
  • You know, i really believe every time i preach,
  • 00:12:27.198 --> 00:12:29.734
  • God is writing on your heart.
  • 00:12:29.734 --> 00:12:31.402
  • Every time i preach something.
  • 00:12:31.402 --> 00:12:32.737
  • If i preach about the glory of the lord,
  • 00:12:32.737 --> 00:12:34.172
  • It will be reflected in your heart.
  • 00:12:34.172 --> 00:12:35.707
  • I just preached just now about the radiance of christ
  • 00:12:35.707 --> 00:12:38.509
  • Manifesting through your life.
  • 00:12:38.509 --> 00:12:40.078
  • Guess what?
  • 00:12:40.078 --> 00:12:41.412
  • He's written it on your heart.
  • 00:12:41.412 --> 00:12:42.747
  • You will reflect it, amen.
  • 00:12:42.747 --> 00:12:44.082
  • Whatever you preach, god will write it in their hearts.
  • 00:12:44.082 --> 00:12:46.551
  • And this is not with physical ink.
  • 00:12:46.551 --> 00:12:49.387
  • Not on tablets of stone.
  • 00:12:49.387 --> 00:12:50.855
  • They cannot respond.
  • 00:12:50.855 --> 00:12:52.190
  • But with the spirit of the living god.
  • 00:12:52.190 --> 00:12:54.092
  • The heavenly ink is the spirit of the living god
  • 00:12:54.092 --> 00:12:55.860
  • Writing on tablets of flesh.
  • 00:12:55.860 --> 00:12:59.464
  • And then the world can read you.
  • 00:12:59.464 --> 00:13:01.666
  • The world says, "i don't know what is it,
  • 00:13:01.666 --> 00:13:03.368
  • But there's something about you all.
  • 00:13:03.368 --> 00:13:05.136
  • Every time you all come to my boutique,
  • 00:13:05.136 --> 00:13:09.507
  • I don't know what it is, you all must keep coming in
  • 00:13:09.507 --> 00:13:11.109
  • Because after that, a lot of people come in.
  • 00:13:11.109 --> 00:13:13.611
  • The day in the morning you come in, the whole day,
  • 00:13:13.611 --> 00:13:16.080
  • People are coming in.
  • 00:13:16.080 --> 00:13:17.415
  • I don't know what it is, but please come."
  • 00:13:17.415 --> 00:13:19.851
  • You go to a restaurant, very quiet, all of a sudden,
  • 00:13:19.851 --> 00:13:22.520
  • People start coming in.
  • 00:13:22.520 --> 00:13:24.055
  • Wake up and realize this is happening.
  • 00:13:24.055 --> 00:13:26.824
  • And it's because you walked in.
  • 00:13:26.824 --> 00:13:28.693
  • Do you know you carry the blessing, people?
  • 00:13:28.693 --> 00:13:31.296
  • You are a blessing everywhere you go.
  • 00:13:31.296 --> 00:13:33.564
  • You are a blessing, amen, amen.
  • 00:13:33.564 --> 00:13:42.073
  • So he says, but you say,
  • 00:13:42.073 --> 00:13:43.975
  • "pastor prince, i'm not too sure.
  • 00:13:43.975 --> 00:13:45.410
  • Like, sometimes i share the word of god,
  • 00:13:45.410 --> 00:13:46.911
  • I'm not too sure whether the people get it or not.
  • 00:13:46.911 --> 00:13:49.047
  • We must have such trust
  • 00:13:49.047 --> 00:13:50.715
  • Through christ towards god.
  • 00:13:50.715 --> 00:13:52.050
  • He will write it on their hearts, amen.
  • 00:13:52.050 --> 00:13:54.352
  • Drop down.
  • 00:13:54.352 --> 00:13:55.687
  • He says, "not that we are sufficient of ourselves
  • 00:13:55.687 --> 00:13:57.255
  • To think of anything as being from ourselves,
  • 00:13:57.255 --> 00:13:59.157
  • But our sufficiency is from god."
  • 00:13:59.157 --> 00:14:01.292
  • Whenever you are serving the lord, always remember this.
  • 00:14:01.292 --> 00:14:03.661
  • Your sufficiency.
  • 00:14:03.661 --> 00:14:05.430
  • You say that i'm not enough.
  • 00:14:05.430 --> 00:14:06.864
  • That's the word sufficiency.
  • 00:14:06.864 --> 00:14:08.199
  • "i don't think i'm enough for this task.
  • 00:14:08.199 --> 00:14:09.534
  • I don't think i'm enough."
  • 00:14:09.534 --> 00:14:10.868
  • It's not about you.
  • 00:14:10.868 --> 00:14:12.570
  • The sufficiency doesn't come from you.
  • 00:14:12.570 --> 00:14:15.306
  • Doesn't come from your limited knowledge,
  • 00:14:15.306 --> 00:14:16.808
  • Your limited experience.
  • 00:14:16.808 --> 00:14:18.242
  • Your sufficiency comes from him.
  • 00:14:18.242 --> 00:14:23.815
  • If god gives you something that you can do yourself naturally,
  • 00:14:23.815 --> 00:14:27.785
  • You will not depend on him.
  • 00:14:27.785 --> 00:14:29.754
  • No, he will give you something sometimes that you find that,
  • 00:14:29.754 --> 00:14:33.791
  • "man, i need god for this."
  • 00:14:33.791 --> 00:14:36.828
  • He loves it.
  • 00:14:36.828 --> 00:14:38.463
  • He loves it, okay?
  • 00:14:38.463 --> 00:14:40.298
  • "our sufficiency is from god."
  • 00:14:40.298 --> 00:14:42.467
  • Say, "it's from god."
  • 00:14:42.467 --> 00:14:44.335
  • "who also made us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant,
  • 00:14:44.335 --> 00:14:49.240
  • Not of the letter but of the spirit; for the letter kills,
  • 00:14:49.240 --> 00:14:53.644
  • But the spirit gives life."
  • 00:14:53.644 --> 00:14:56.614
  • The letter kills, but--
  • 00:14:56.614 --> 00:14:58.082
  • Now here's where it's very interesting.
  • 00:14:58.082 --> 00:15:00.084
  • He says that, "my ministry is the ministry
  • 00:15:00.084 --> 00:15:02.520
  • Of the new covenant."
  • 00:15:02.520 --> 00:15:03.855
  • You know why god can write on your heart, all right?
  • 00:15:03.855 --> 00:15:06.958
  • Not on tablets of stone.
  • 00:15:06.958 --> 00:15:09.127
  • You know why?
  • 00:15:09.127 --> 00:15:10.528
  • Because my ministry is the ministry of the holy spirit
  • 00:15:10.528 --> 00:15:12.663
  • And not the letter.
  • 00:15:12.663 --> 00:15:14.899
  • You know, god has his portions for every day.
  • 00:15:14.899 --> 00:15:17.335
  • Just like manna has a portion that you can eat and feel
  • 00:15:17.335 --> 00:15:20.571
  • Strong, and fulfilled, and satisfied for a long time.
  • 00:15:20.571 --> 00:15:25.943
  • I believe that it's gonna happen to you.
  • 00:15:25.943 --> 00:15:28.012
  • Make sure that the church you are in is a church
  • 00:15:28.012 --> 00:15:30.548
  • That's fully under the new covenant.
  • 00:15:30.548 --> 00:15:33.184
  • Not like one time, new covenant.
  • 00:15:33.184 --> 00:15:35.053
  • Another time, old covenant.
  • 00:15:35.053 --> 00:15:36.854
  • Sometimes you have grace.
  • 00:15:36.854 --> 00:15:38.489
  • Sometimes you have law.
  • 00:15:38.489 --> 00:15:40.191
  • Sometimes you have the importance of what god has done.
  • 00:15:40.191 --> 00:15:43.294
  • Sometimes the importance of what you are needed to do.
  • 00:15:43.294 --> 00:15:46.097
  • It's all god and you.
  • 00:15:46.097 --> 00:15:49.200
  • And you know, it's like, there's a mixture.
  • 00:15:49.200 --> 00:15:53.504
  • You cannot put grace into old wine skin.
  • 00:15:53.504 --> 00:15:57.842
  • The wine will ferment and the old goat skin,
  • 00:15:57.842 --> 00:16:02.013
  • Which is brittle, will break.
  • 00:16:02.013 --> 00:16:03.748
  • Now you lose both grace and the law.
  • 00:16:03.748 --> 00:16:08.086
  • That's the context that jesus talked about.
  • 00:16:08.086 --> 00:16:10.054
  • It's law and grace, amen.
  • 00:16:10.054 --> 00:16:13.524
  • So, make sure that this radiant life,
  • 00:16:13.524 --> 00:16:17.462
  • This epistles that is read by all men,
  • 00:16:17.462 --> 00:16:20.264
  • Your life transformed and all that,
  • 00:16:20.264 --> 00:16:21.833
  • Is when you are under the new covenant.
  • 00:16:21.833 --> 00:16:24.068
  • Remember when god put them under the old covenant?
  • 00:16:24.068 --> 00:16:28.339
  • That was the sinaitic covenant and god gave the
  • 00:16:28.339 --> 00:16:30.808
  • Ten commandments?
  • 00:16:30.808 --> 00:16:32.844
  • You know what happened?
  • 00:16:32.844 --> 00:16:34.178
  • Three thousand people died.
  • 00:16:34.178 --> 00:16:35.847
  • Now, another mountain, mount zion, god gave,
  • 00:16:35.847 --> 00:16:40.751
  • Not on mount zion anymore--no, sorry,
  • 00:16:40.751 --> 00:16:42.520
  • Not on mount sinai but mount zion,
  • 00:16:42.520 --> 00:16:44.555
  • God gave the holy spirit
  • 00:16:44.555 --> 00:16:47.024
  • And three thousand people were saved.
  • 00:16:47.024 --> 00:16:50.128
  • The letter kills.
  • 00:16:50.128 --> 00:16:51.829
  • What's the letter?
  • 00:16:51.829 --> 00:16:53.397
  • The law.
  • 00:16:53.397 --> 00:16:55.466
  • The spirit gives life.
  • 00:16:55.466 --> 00:16:58.436
  • Make sure that the ministry that we have here, the pulpit,
  • 00:16:58.436 --> 00:17:02.173
  • And all that, is on the right mountain.
  • 00:17:02.173 --> 00:17:07.111
  • If you are preaching from mount sinai,
  • 00:17:07.111 --> 00:17:08.446
  • You are killing people.
  • 00:17:08.446 --> 00:17:10.515
  • ♪ killing them softly with the law. ♪
  • 00:17:10.515 --> 00:17:18.222
  • ♪ every sunday, killing them slowly. ♪♪
  • 00:17:14.485 --> 00:17:24.662
  • Now, we laugh, but it's true.
  • 00:17:24.662 --> 00:17:27.365
  • The letter kills.
  • 00:17:27.365 --> 00:17:28.699
  • It's not a joke, you know.
  • 00:17:28.699 --> 00:17:30.067
  • The letter kills.
  • 00:17:30.067 --> 00:17:31.402
  • Sit under the old covenant and chances are death will set in.
  • 00:17:31.402 --> 00:17:35.640
  • Death is not just physical death.
  • 00:17:35.640 --> 00:17:38.376
  • Ultimately, it comes to death, okay?
  • 00:17:38.376 --> 00:17:41.679
  • It's death in depression.
  • 00:17:41.679 --> 00:17:43.381
  • Death in your relationships.
  • 00:17:43.381 --> 00:17:44.916
  • Death to your brain cells.
  • 00:17:44.916 --> 00:17:46.450
  • Death to your body in terms of disease.
  • 00:17:46.450 --> 00:17:48.386
  • Death in every area.
  • 00:17:48.386 --> 00:17:50.454
  • What kills?
  • 00:17:50.454 --> 00:17:51.789
  • The letter kills.
  • 00:17:51.789 --> 00:17:53.157
  • The letter kills.
  • 00:17:53.925 --> 00:17:55.593
  • But the spirit gives life.
  • 00:17:55.593 --> 00:17:57.895
  • Drop down.
  • 00:17:57.895 --> 00:17:59.297
  • "the ministry of death written and engraved on stones."
  • 00:17:59.297 --> 00:18:03.267
  • Killing of animals was never engraved on stones.
  • 00:18:03.267 --> 00:18:06.237
  • They were written on scrolls.
  • 00:18:06.237 --> 00:18:08.739
  • That part of the law, okay?
  • 00:18:08.739 --> 00:18:11.576
  • Those that you talk about observing the feast days
  • 00:18:11.576 --> 00:18:14.612
  • And all that, circumcision, were never engraved on stones.
  • 00:18:14.612 --> 00:18:18.816
  • The only part of the law that's engraved on stones
  • 00:18:18.816 --> 00:18:21.752
  • Are the ten commandments.
  • 00:18:21.752 --> 00:18:24.655
  • And it was never designed to give you life.
  • 00:18:24.655 --> 00:18:27.091
  • It was never designed to empower you to keep it.
  • 00:18:27.091 --> 00:18:30.795
  • "by the law, no flesh can be justified."
  • 00:18:30.795 --> 00:18:33.631
  • It was designed to show you that you are a sinner.
  • 00:18:33.631 --> 00:18:37.401
  • And every time you try to keep it, your sin will come out.
  • 00:18:37.401 --> 00:18:40.404
  • Every time you try to keep it, your sin will come out, okay?
  • 00:18:40.404 --> 00:18:43.874
  • Here it says, "the ministry of death,
  • 00:18:43.874 --> 00:18:45.910
  • Written and engraved on stones."
  • 00:18:45.910 --> 00:18:47.511
  • Don't forget this.
  • 00:18:47.511 --> 00:18:48.946
  • If anyone tells you it's not referring
  • 00:18:48.946 --> 00:18:50.281
  • To this part of the law,
  • 00:18:50.281 --> 00:18:51.616
  • Tell them it is the only part of the law
  • 00:18:51.616 --> 00:18:54.118
  • That is the ministry of death,
  • 00:18:54.118 --> 00:18:56.153
  • "written and engrave on stones," okay?
  • 00:18:56.153 --> 00:18:59.857
  • Back then, it "was glorious."
  • 00:19:00.658 --> 00:19:02.693
  • Even then, it was glorious back then.
  • 00:19:02.693 --> 00:19:04.662
  • "so that the children of israel could not look steadily
  • 00:19:04.662 --> 00:19:06.330
  • At the face of moses
  • 00:19:06.330 --> 00:19:07.765
  • Because of the glory of his countenance,
  • 00:19:07.765 --> 00:19:09.700
  • Which glory was passing away."
  • 00:19:09.700 --> 00:19:12.837
  • If you're under the condemnation law, the ministry of death,
  • 00:19:12.837 --> 00:19:15.873
  • There is glory there, but the glory is passing away.
  • 00:19:15.873 --> 00:19:19.277
  • That kind of revival where you use the law,
  • 00:19:19.277 --> 00:19:21.646
  • All right, to condemn people, amen?
  • 00:19:21.646 --> 00:19:25.182
  • To make them feel that they are sinners.
  • 00:19:25.182 --> 00:19:27.718
  • Listen carefully, the law was designed
  • 00:19:27.718 --> 00:19:29.253
  • To make you feel like a sinner,
  • 00:19:29.253 --> 00:19:30.588
  • Yes, but the law is until christ came.
  • 00:19:30.588 --> 00:19:32.923
  • The book of galatians tells us.
  • 00:19:32.923 --> 00:19:34.925
  • And now, the holy spirit does the job, amen.
  • 00:19:34.925 --> 00:19:38.763
  • "how will the ministry of the spirit."
  • 00:19:38.829 --> 00:19:40.665
  • That's the ministry of all of us, compare with ministry
  • 00:19:40.665 --> 00:19:43.434
  • Of death.
  • 00:19:43.434 --> 00:19:44.769
  • That's right, different colors.
  • 00:19:44.769 --> 00:19:46.237
  • You see, in the bible, you can put different colors.
  • 00:19:46.237 --> 00:19:48.072
  • Ministry of death, we put blue.
  • 00:19:48.072 --> 00:19:50.508
  • And ministry of spirit, we put whatever color that is, brown.
  • 00:19:50.508 --> 00:19:55.880
  • Okay, "how will the ministry of the spirit
  • 00:19:55.880 --> 00:19:57.348
  • Not be more glorious?"
  • 00:19:57.348 --> 00:19:58.749
  • Can you see the ministry of the spirit contrasts
  • 00:19:58.749 --> 00:20:00.651
  • With the ministry of death written and engraved on stones?
  • 00:20:00.651 --> 00:20:04.488
  • Okay, can you see it?
  • 00:20:04.488 --> 00:20:05.856
  • It's more glorious.
  • 00:20:05.856 --> 00:20:07.458
  • If that is not enough, the next verse, it says,
  • 00:20:07.458 --> 00:20:09.727
  • "if the ministry of condemnation had glory."
  • 00:20:09.727 --> 00:20:12.563
  • Now he calls the ministry of death, condemnation.
  • 00:20:12.563 --> 00:20:15.599
  • What you feel all the time you sit under this kind of ministry
  • 00:20:15.599 --> 00:20:17.768
  • Will be, you feel condemned, you feel condemned, you feel guilty,
  • 00:20:17.768 --> 00:20:20.838
  • You feel condemned, you feel condemned,
  • 00:20:20.838 --> 00:20:22.406
  • You feel condemned.
  • 00:20:22.406 --> 00:20:23.774
  • Condemnation kills, my friend.
  • 00:20:23.774 --> 00:20:29.080
  • Condemnation kills.
  • 00:20:29.080 --> 00:20:33.351
  • "if the ministry of condemnation had glory."
  • 00:20:33.351 --> 00:20:35.219
  • Now, there are some revivals in the past they used condemnation
  • 00:20:35.219 --> 00:20:38.255
  • A lot and still there was some glory.
  • 00:20:38.255 --> 00:20:41.359
  • But we haven't seen a revival of the new covenant
  • 00:20:41.359 --> 00:20:44.562
  • Kind of revival, amen.
  • 00:20:44.562 --> 00:20:46.997
  • You ain't seen nothing yet.
  • 00:20:46.997 --> 00:20:48.699
  • All right, "if the ministry of condemnation had glory,
  • 00:20:48.699 --> 00:20:51.669
  • The ministry of righteousness exceeds much more in glory."
  • 00:20:51.669 --> 00:20:58.876
  • We have not seen anything yet.
  • 00:20:58.876 --> 00:21:01.946
  • Imagine telling the people, sinners, listen,
  • 00:21:01.946 --> 00:21:05.316
  • God is not counting your sins against you.
  • 00:21:05.316 --> 00:21:07.852
  • Repent, change your mind about god, come to him,
  • 00:21:07.852 --> 00:21:11.822
  • Not go away from him.
  • 00:21:11.822 --> 00:21:13.624
  • He's not counting your sins against you.
  • 00:21:13.624 --> 00:21:15.960
  • "to wit god was in christ reconciling the world
  • 00:21:15.960 --> 00:21:18.696
  • Unto himself not imputing their trespasses unto them.
  • 00:21:18.696 --> 00:21:23.634
  • So we," the apostles, "we beseech you by the grace of god,
  • 00:21:23.634 --> 00:21:28.639
  • Be ye reconciled to god."
  • 00:21:28.639 --> 00:21:34.812
  • It's your move.
  • 00:21:34.812 --> 00:21:36.514
  • God is not holding anything against you.
  • 00:21:36.514 --> 00:21:38.282
  • All your sins are paid for in the body of his son.
  • 00:21:38.282 --> 00:21:42.586
  • Who is he that condemns, amen.
  • 00:21:42.586 --> 00:21:48.025
  • So, ministry of condemnation contrasts with different color,
  • 00:21:48.025 --> 00:21:51.262
  • Different color again, all right,
  • 00:21:51.262 --> 00:21:52.930
  • The ministry of righteousness.
  • 00:21:52.930 --> 00:21:56.267
  • "the ministry of righteousness exceeds much more in glory.
  • 00:21:56.267 --> 00:22:04.175
  • For even what was made glorious," the old covenant,
  • 00:22:04.175 --> 00:22:06.911
  • "had no glory in this respect."
  • 00:22:06.911 --> 00:22:08.579
  • It cannot compare with the new covenant.
  • 00:22:08.579 --> 00:22:10.581
  • "because of the glory that excels."
  • 00:22:10.581 --> 00:22:12.683
  • We'll stop here.
  • 00:22:12.683 --> 00:22:14.518
  • And i just want to tell you this.
  • 00:22:14.518 --> 00:22:17.488
  • This whole thing has got to do, make sure you understand
  • 00:22:17.488 --> 00:22:21.292
  • What is law and what is grace.
  • 00:22:21.292 --> 00:22:23.594
  • Martin luther says it like this.
  • 00:22:23.594 --> 00:22:25.529
  • Martin luther, "therefore, whoever knows well
  • 00:22:25.529 --> 00:22:29.033
  • How to distinguish the gospel from the law,"
  • 00:22:29.033 --> 00:22:32.403
  • Or grace, some place they put grace from the law,
  • 00:22:32.403 --> 00:22:35.206
  • "should give thanks to god and know
  • 00:22:35.206 --> 00:22:37.575
  • That he's a true theologian."
  • 00:22:37.575 --> 00:22:41.312
  • Martin luther, who started the reformation
  • 00:22:41.312 --> 00:22:44.215
  • Of which we just celebrated a few days ago,
  • 00:22:44.215 --> 00:22:48.152
  • He said this, if someone knows how to contrast law and grace,
  • 00:22:48.152 --> 00:22:53.491
  • He knows where law belongs, where grace belongs,
  • 00:22:53.491 --> 00:22:56.026
  • He's a true theologian.
  • 00:22:56.026 --> 00:22:59.930
  • And you can go to bible school and spend years there
  • 00:22:59.930 --> 00:23:02.166
  • And not be a true theologian.
  • 00:23:02.166 --> 00:23:04.468
  • You can't differentiate both.
  • 00:23:04.468 --> 00:23:06.470
  • Or you try to let's have all together in one bag.
  • 00:23:06.470 --> 00:23:09.373
  • No, you cannot, amen.
  • 00:23:09.373 --> 00:23:11.575
  • Does that mean that we are not under law?
  • 00:23:11.575 --> 00:23:13.844
  • There's license to sin?
  • 00:23:13.844 --> 00:23:15.513
  • That's always the fear, right?
  • 00:23:15.513 --> 00:23:17.248
  • That's what they accused paul of.
  • 00:23:17.248 --> 00:23:18.949
  • No, no license, no power of sin, why?
  • 00:23:18.949 --> 00:23:24.288
  • The strength of sin is the law.
  • 00:23:24.288 --> 00:23:26.457
  • In fact, when you're not under the law,
  • 00:23:26.457 --> 00:23:28.292
  • You find that sin becomes unattractive
  • 00:23:28.292 --> 00:23:31.595
  • And grace becomes attractive.
  • 00:23:31.595 --> 00:23:34.164
  • And you are drawn more and more to the lord.
  • 00:23:34.164 --> 00:23:36.367
  • And the more you are drawn to the lord, the more you love
  • 00:23:36.367 --> 00:23:38.602
  • The lord, you will fall out of love with all these things
  • 00:23:38.602 --> 00:23:41.939
  • Supernaturally natural, amen.
  • 00:23:41.939 --> 00:23:45.709
  • When you are truly under grace, you're conscious of his love
  • 00:23:45.709 --> 00:23:48.913
  • For you, sin will lose its power.
  • 00:23:48.913 --> 00:23:52.049
  • That woman at the well left jesus, right,
  • 00:23:52.049 --> 00:23:55.619
  • And she became so bold.
  • 00:23:55.619 --> 00:23:57.955
  • She come, "come and see the man who told me
  • 00:23:57.955 --> 00:23:59.690
  • Everything about myself."
  • 00:23:59.690 --> 00:24:01.292
  • She didn't realize she became an evangelist, amen.
  • 00:24:01.292 --> 00:24:06.263
  • Amen, she was now bold.
  • 00:24:06.263 --> 00:24:08.632
  • You know why?
  • 00:24:08.632 --> 00:24:10.568
