Joseph Prince | Joseph Prince - When You’re Christ-Occupied, Grace Is Multiplied | January 25, 2026
- ...
- 00:00:00.633 --> 00:00:01.311
- Joseph prince: looking at jesus and resting in him
- 00:00:12.922 --> 00:00:15.692
- And seeing his pattern, delighting in the vision of--
- 00:00:15.692 --> 00:00:19.095
- The holy spirit's giving you of jesus,
- 00:00:19.095 --> 00:00:20.763
- And whatever it is
- 00:00:20.763 --> 00:00:22.098
- That you want to see jesus in, he's got to be center.
- 00:00:22.098 --> 00:00:25.668
- When he's center and you're occupied with him, you are
- 00:00:25.668 --> 00:00:28.872
- Obsessed with him, amen, he captivates your heart
- 00:00:28.872 --> 00:00:32.275
- And mind and soul, you don't have to worry about a holy life.
- 00:00:32.275 --> 00:00:35.778
- You don't have to worry about behavior going wrong.
- 00:00:35.778 --> 00:00:38.681
- This is where the church is lacking, my friend.
- 00:00:38.681 --> 00:00:41.017
- They have left their first love, amen?
- 00:00:41.017 --> 00:00:45.188
- And how do you restore the first love?
- 00:00:45.188 --> 00:00:46.623
- By coming back to the first love.
- 00:00:46.623 --> 00:00:48.892
- To know that he loves me, amen?
- 00:00:48.892 --> 00:00:51.394
- Praise the lord.
- 00:00:51.394 --> 00:00:52.729
- So our role is to exalt jesus christ, right?
- 00:00:52.729 --> 00:00:55.665
- Just like we are so excited about our play and all that.
- 00:00:55.665 --> 00:00:57.934
- We put him high on our shoulders to lift him up.
- 00:00:57.934 --> 00:00:59.836
- The idea is what? all right.
- 00:00:59.836 --> 00:01:01.237
- Lift him up, amen? lift him high.
- 00:01:01.237 --> 00:01:03.439
- Exalt him.
- 00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:04.774
- May this be the theme of your life this year.
- 00:01:04.774 --> 00:01:08.044
- Then all that you do, even in your career
- 00:01:08.044 --> 00:01:10.480
- Or your pursuing of any other dream
- 00:01:10.480 --> 00:01:12.749
- That god is showing you to walk in, all right,
- 00:01:12.749 --> 00:01:15.718
- Make sure that jesus is there in the center of it.
- 00:01:15.718 --> 00:01:18.888
- God has given us the wonderful, holy privilege
- 00:01:18.888 --> 00:01:23.193
- Of exalting his son in our lives.
- 00:01:23.193 --> 00:01:25.995
- And the more we focus on his son,
- 00:01:25.995 --> 00:01:27.997
- And not on our selfish, you know, occupation,
- 00:01:27.997 --> 00:01:32.068
- But more on his son, making sure
- 00:01:32.068 --> 00:01:34.771
- That everything we do is to glorify him,
- 00:01:34.771 --> 00:01:37.907
- Not to exalt ourselves, but to exalt him.
- 00:01:37.907 --> 00:01:41.711
- Male announcer: let's kickstart the year
- 00:01:41.778 --> 00:01:43.112
- With the right attitude: the attitude of rest.
- 00:01:43.112 --> 00:01:46.583
- In today's message, joseph shares how life
- 00:01:46.583 --> 00:01:48.985
- Isn't about fighting to survive.
- 00:01:48.985 --> 00:01:50.887
- It's about living under god's unstoppable favor for you
- 00:01:50.887 --> 00:01:54.357
- And your loved ones.
- 00:01:54.357 --> 00:01:55.992
- People say that in life, you've got to want it,
- 00:01:55.992 --> 00:01:58.995
- You've got to earn it, you've got to deserve it.
- 00:01:58.995 --> 00:02:02.098
- But what if there's a better way?
- 00:02:02.098 --> 00:02:04.167
- In joseph's book, "unmerited favor,"
- 00:02:04.167 --> 00:02:06.502
- Learn to let go of what the world says
- 00:02:06.502 --> 00:02:08.204
- About success and discover the kind of victory
- 00:02:08.204 --> 00:02:10.907

- 00:02:41.704 --> 00:02:44.173
- With today's program.
- 00:02:44.173 --> 00:02:45.508
- Joseph prince: i believe that this year, as you rest more
- 00:02:45.508 --> 00:02:48.011
- And more in him and in his finished work,
- 00:02:48.011 --> 00:02:50.113
- You will see the accomplishment, the harvest,
- 00:02:50.113 --> 00:02:52.849
- Of that finished work in your life,
- 00:02:52.849 --> 00:02:55.218
- Manifesting in an accelerated way this year.
- 00:02:55.218 --> 00:02:58.655
- Praise the lord, hallelujah.
- 00:02:58.655 --> 00:03:00.590
- Thank you, lord jesus.
- 00:03:00.590 --> 00:03:01.924
- Amos 9, verse 11, 9-1-1, it is addressing, i believe,
- 00:03:01.924 --> 00:03:07.030
- The generation that went through 9-11
- 00:03:07.030 --> 00:03:10.867
- And the generation that came after 9-11.
- 00:03:10.867 --> 00:03:14.137
- Amos 9-1-1 tells us this.
- 00:03:14.137 --> 00:03:18.274
- And also, during this time, god has brought to our attention
- 00:03:18.274 --> 00:03:21.611
- Psalms 9-1-1, which is: "he who dwells in the secret place
- 00:03:21.611 --> 00:03:25.915
- Of the most high shall abide under the shadow
- 00:03:25.915 --> 00:03:28.484
- Of the almighty."
- 00:03:28.484 --> 00:03:30.019
- And the call number in america is 9-1-1, amen?
- 00:03:30.019 --> 00:03:33.122
- It's the number for rescue and deliverance, amen.
- 00:03:33.122 --> 00:03:36.526
- 9-1-1.
- 00:03:36.526 --> 00:03:37.860
- God is telling us, abide there, abide in the secret place
- 00:03:37.860 --> 00:03:39.862
- Of the most high.
- 00:03:39.862 --> 00:03:41.197
- But during this time also, 9-1-1, amos 9-1-1, it says:
- 00:03:41.197 --> 00:03:44.801
- "in that day will i raise up the tabernacle of david
- 00:03:44.801 --> 00:03:47.770
- That is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof;
- 00:03:47.770 --> 00:03:50.907
- And i will raise up his ruins,
- 00:03:50.907 --> 00:03:52.742
- And i will build it as in the days of old."
- 00:03:52.742 --> 00:03:55.378
- So, god is saying that he's going to rebuild
- 00:03:55.378 --> 00:03:57.447
- The tabernacle of david.
- 00:03:57.447 --> 00:03:58.781
- You need to understand that there are other tabernacles.
- 00:03:58.781 --> 00:04:01.184
- Prior to the tabernacle of david,
- 00:04:01.184 --> 00:04:02.885
- There is a tabernacle of moses.
- 00:04:02.885 --> 00:04:05.288
- And god gave the tabernacle, even the plans for it,
- 00:04:05.288 --> 00:04:08.124
- And they built it where?
- 00:04:08.124 --> 00:04:09.892
- At mount sinai, amen.
- 00:04:09.892 --> 00:04:11.594
- They built it at the foot of mount sinai.
- 00:04:11.594 --> 00:04:14.030
- And that's the tabernacle of moses.
- 00:04:14.030 --> 00:04:15.498
- It's just as important, amen.
- 00:04:15.498 --> 00:04:17.700
- In fact, when you study every part of the tabernacle,
- 00:04:17.700 --> 00:04:21.437
- Its various furnitures, its offerings and all that,
- 00:04:21.437 --> 00:04:24.240
- It all depicts our lord jesus christ.
- 00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:26.642
- The bible is all about his son, amen.
- 00:04:26.642 --> 00:04:29.846
- And that's how jesus expounded the scriptures.
- 00:04:29.846 --> 00:04:32.515
- When he rose again from the dead,
- 00:04:32.515 --> 00:04:34.450
- On the same day he rose from the dead.
- 00:04:34.450 --> 00:04:36.486
- He rose from the dead in the morning.
- 00:04:36.486 --> 00:04:37.954
- On the same day, he walked with two of his disciples.
- 00:04:37.954 --> 00:04:41.057
- It seems so ordinary.
- 00:04:41.057 --> 00:04:42.692
- It seems so mundane, amen, walking with two disciples.
- 00:04:42.692 --> 00:04:46.596
- Isn't there more important things that you would think that
- 00:04:46.596 --> 00:04:49.732
- The lord might want to do on the day
- 00:04:49.732 --> 00:04:51.300
- He rose from the dead?
- 00:04:51.300 --> 00:04:52.668
- But he was demonstrating something.
- 00:04:52.668 --> 00:04:54.337
- You see, they were cast down and they were
- 00:04:54.337 --> 00:04:57.273
- In despondency and he drew near to them
- 00:04:57.273 --> 00:05:00.276
- Because they were talking about him.
- 00:05:00.276 --> 00:05:02.278
- You see, when you talk about jesus,
- 00:05:02.278 --> 00:05:03.846
- He draws near, amen?
- 00:05:03.846 --> 00:05:05.815
- But nonetheless, they were looking
- 00:05:05.815 --> 00:05:07.283
- At the dark side of it, "oh, he was crucified.
- 00:05:07.283 --> 00:05:09.585
- We thought it was he who should redeem israel."
- 00:05:09.585 --> 00:05:12.588
- Notice they are using jesus as a means to an end.
- 00:05:12.588 --> 00:05:15.491
- The centrality of their heart is not jesus.
- 00:05:15.491 --> 00:05:17.794
- The centrality of their heart is actually israel.
- 00:05:17.794 --> 00:05:21.230
- "we thought," they both said to jesus when he came.
- 00:05:21.230 --> 00:05:26.369
- And by the way, jesus restrained their eyes from seeing him
- 00:05:26.369 --> 00:05:30.740
- In person, okay?
- 00:05:30.740 --> 00:05:32.375
- So, they talked to him like a stranger,
- 00:05:32.375 --> 00:05:35.211
- And he drew near.
- 00:05:35.211 --> 00:05:37.079
- And this is what they said: "we thought it was he
- 00:05:37.079 --> 00:05:40.049
- That should redeem israel," referring to jesus.
- 00:05:40.049 --> 00:05:43.152
- So israel was center in their hearts, not jesus.
- 00:05:43.152 --> 00:05:46.489
- Jesus is just a means to an end.
- 00:05:46.489 --> 00:05:48.090
- Perhaps for you, you know, you might be embarking
- 00:05:48.090 --> 00:05:51.027
- On a career and you're trying to focus
- 00:05:51.027 --> 00:05:53.763
- On your career and things like that.
- 00:05:53.763 --> 00:05:55.331
- But that's fine.
- 00:05:55.331 --> 00:05:56.666
- That's part of the divine responsibilities that god
- 00:05:56.666 --> 00:05:59.669
- Has given us, you know, this side of heaven, amen.
- 00:05:59.669 --> 00:06:02.538
- God says, "work as unto the lord,"
- 00:06:02.538 --> 00:06:04.740
- Even serve your boss and your employer
- 00:06:04.740 --> 00:06:08.644
- As unto the lord, "knowing that of the lord,
- 00:06:08.644 --> 00:06:11.447
- You shall receive the reward of the inheritance:
- 00:06:11.447 --> 00:06:14.150
- Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers,
- 00:06:14.150 --> 00:06:16.819
- But as unto the lord."
- 00:06:16.819 --> 00:06:18.154
- So your eye is on the lord.
- 00:06:18.154 --> 00:06:19.489
- And if your boss is not treating you right,
- 00:06:19.489 --> 00:06:22.024
- God is able to change his heart
- 00:06:22.024 --> 00:06:23.593
- Or else god can change bosses
- 00:06:23.593 --> 00:06:25.361
- Or god can change places for you, amen?
- 00:06:25.361 --> 00:06:28.097
- Praise the lord. thank you, jesus.
- 00:06:28.097 --> 00:06:29.665
- So amos 9:11: "in that day
- 00:06:29.665 --> 00:06:31.934
- Will i raise up the tabernacle of david
- 00:06:31.934 --> 00:06:33.903
- That is fallen, and close up
- 00:06:33.903 --> 00:06:35.238
- The breaches thereof."
- 00:06:35.238 --> 00:06:36.572
- So there are breaches, there are breaks.
- 00:06:36.572 --> 00:06:38.040
- So of all the tabernacles, we are talking
- 00:06:38.040 --> 00:06:39.909
- About the tabernacle of moses,
- 00:06:39.909 --> 00:06:41.244
- God did not promise to raise the tabernacle of moses
- 00:06:41.244 --> 00:06:44.213
- Or to repair it or to rebuild it.
- 00:06:44.213 --> 00:06:46.849
- God did not promise to rebuild, you know,
- 00:06:46.849 --> 00:06:49.919
- The temples that followed after the temple of solomon,
- 00:06:49.919 --> 00:06:53.022
- The temple of herod.
- 00:06:53.022 --> 00:06:55.458
- God only promised that in the last days,
- 00:06:55.458 --> 00:06:57.260
- He's going to restore
- 00:06:57.260 --> 00:06:58.594
- The tabernacle of david, which actually
- 00:06:58.594 --> 00:07:00.563
- Was a temporal tabernacle.
- 00:07:00.563 --> 00:07:03.599
- Because later on, when solomon came along,
- 00:07:03.599 --> 00:07:05.968
- David's son, he would bring the ark,
- 00:07:05.968 --> 00:07:08.771
- Rightly so, to mount moriah, which is just higher up
- 00:07:08.771 --> 00:07:13.609
- From the city of david.
- 00:07:13.609 --> 00:07:14.944
- The city of david is on the south side of jerusalem
- 00:07:14.944 --> 00:07:18.381
- And he would bring up the mount moriah
- 00:07:18.381 --> 00:07:20.149
- Where the temple of solomon will be built.
- 00:07:20.149 --> 00:07:22.919
- And it's supposed to be a permanent fixture
- 00:07:22.919 --> 00:07:25.321
- And that brought forth the golden era of prosperity
- 00:07:25.321 --> 00:07:30.126
- And peace for israel, right?
- 00:07:30.126 --> 00:07:32.562
- So we are not there yet.
- 00:07:32.562 --> 00:07:33.930
- God is saying that while we are on earth,
- 00:07:33.930 --> 00:07:36.198
- What is god doing?
- 00:07:36.198 --> 00:07:37.533
- He is rebuilding the tabernacle of david
- 00:07:37.533 --> 00:07:38.935
- And it's all about the church of jesus christ.
- 00:07:38.935 --> 00:07:41.537
- And its main characteristic is praise and worship,
- 00:07:41.537 --> 00:07:45.341
- Amen, before an unveiled ark.
- 00:07:45.341 --> 00:07:48.277
- Hallelujah!
- 00:07:48.277 --> 00:07:49.712
- Just think of it.
- 00:07:49.712 --> 00:07:51.213
- David's tabernacle.
- 00:07:51.213 --> 00:07:52.682
- All the people can come right before the ark.
- 00:07:52.682 --> 00:07:55.151
- It's a picture of the church of jesus christ
- 00:07:55.151 --> 00:07:56.886
- Where all of us can come to god, amen, boldly.
- 00:07:56.886 --> 00:08:00.690
- Praise the lord.
- 00:08:00.690 --> 00:08:02.024
- The word "having therefore boldness" is made up
- 00:08:02.024 --> 00:08:04.093
- Of two greek words, which means to say freely.
- 00:08:04.093 --> 00:08:06.963
- There's a freedom. there's a freedom.
- 00:08:06.963 --> 00:08:09.098
- There's no more that fear.
- 00:08:09.098 --> 00:08:10.967
- Even if we call god father, we are no more
- 00:08:10.967 --> 00:08:13.302
- Under the sphere of slavery where, you know,
- 00:08:13.302 --> 00:08:15.905
- People can say "god" in a way that implies
- 00:08:15.905 --> 00:08:19.008
- Distance and fear.
- 00:08:19.008 --> 00:08:20.743
- That's not the fear of the lord.
- 00:08:20.743 --> 00:08:22.111
- The true fear of the lord is worship.
- 00:08:22.111 --> 00:08:24.280
- Jesus translated that verse in deuteronomy
- 00:08:24.280 --> 00:08:27.483
- In the wilderness temptation
- 00:08:27.483 --> 00:08:29.218
- To the devil by saying, "it is written,
- 00:08:29.218 --> 00:08:31.420
- 'you shall fear the lord your god.'"
- 00:08:31.420 --> 00:08:33.089
- But actually, you see what that verse was saying?
- 00:08:33.089 --> 00:08:36.092
- In the old testament, it says,
- 00:08:36.092 --> 00:08:37.493
- "you shall fear the lord your god."
- 00:08:37.493 --> 00:08:39.295
- So jesus translated the fear of god as worship of god.
- 00:08:39.295 --> 00:08:44.600
- It is not this fear of god where you stay away from him.
- 00:08:44.600 --> 00:08:48.671
- You don't want to be near him, okay?
- 00:08:48.671 --> 00:08:50.473
- That's not the fear of the lord, amen?
- 00:08:50.473 --> 00:08:52.141
- And that's the fear that the bible says
- 00:08:52.141 --> 00:08:54.176
- You have not received again.
- 00:08:54.176 --> 00:08:55.544
- Notice the word "again"?
- 00:08:55.544 --> 00:08:56.879
- You have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear.
- 00:08:56.879 --> 00:09:00.116
- Slavish fear.
- 00:09:00.116 --> 00:09:01.450
- The fear there is implying the fear of god.
- 00:09:01.450 --> 00:09:03.819
- The wrong kind of old testament fear of god.
- 00:09:03.819 --> 00:09:07.089
- You have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear,
- 00:09:07.089 --> 00:09:09.025
- But you have received the spirit of sonship whereby we cry,
- 00:09:09.025 --> 00:09:12.528
- "abba father," amen?
- 00:09:12.528 --> 00:09:14.563
- So we come before the tabernacle of david,
- 00:09:14.563 --> 00:09:16.098
- Today the church of jesus christ.
- 00:09:16.098 --> 00:09:17.466
- We all can come freely.
- 00:09:17.466 --> 00:09:18.901
- And what is the main characteristic
- 00:09:18.901 --> 00:09:20.603
- Of the tabernacle of david?
- 00:09:20.603 --> 00:09:22.104
- It is praise and worship.
- 00:09:22.104 --> 00:09:23.773
- There's a singing.
- 00:09:23.773 --> 00:09:25.107
- There's dancing even because david danced
- 00:09:25.107 --> 00:09:26.976
- With all his might, hallelujah!
- 00:09:26.976 --> 00:09:28.444
- There's a lot of praising.
- 00:09:28.444 --> 00:09:29.779
- There's a lot of instruments.
- 00:09:29.779 --> 00:09:31.647
- The main characteristic of the tabernacle of david
- 00:09:31.647 --> 00:09:35.084
- Is the praise and worship.
- 00:09:35.084 --> 00:09:36.419
- And that's what god is restoring all over the world today.
- 00:09:36.419 --> 00:09:38.888
- You see god restoring the tabernacle of david.
- 00:09:38.888 --> 00:09:41.357
- You see praise and worship propping up everywhere.
- 00:09:41.357 --> 00:09:43.893
- Right after he says about repairing
- 00:09:43.893 --> 00:09:45.961
- The tabernacle of david,
- 00:09:45.961 --> 00:09:47.396
- The bible goes on to say, "behold, the days come."
- 00:09:47.396 --> 00:09:49.265
- What days?
- 00:09:49.265 --> 00:09:50.599
- The days when he is rebuilding the tabernacle of david.
- 00:09:50.599 --> 00:09:53.536
- "the days come, saith the lord, that the plowman
- 00:09:53.536 --> 00:09:56.672
- Shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes
- 00:09:56.672 --> 00:10:01.010
- Him that soweth seed."
- 00:10:01.010 --> 00:10:02.712
- Because the harvest is so abundant
- 00:10:02.712 --> 00:10:05.147
- And it comes up so fast that both the reaper
- 00:10:05.147 --> 00:10:10.219
- And the plowman meet.
- 00:10:10.219 --> 00:10:12.688
- The treader of grapes and he who sows seed meet.
- 00:10:12.688 --> 00:10:16.525
- Usually in the normal circumstance, right,
- 00:10:16.525 --> 00:10:19.628
- In the normal scheme of things, in terms of sowing
- 00:10:19.628 --> 00:10:21.831
- And harvesting, both don't meet.
- 00:10:21.831 --> 00:10:24.300
- They are at the tail end, amen?
- 00:10:24.300 --> 00:10:26.402
- But because of this acceleration and this abundance of harvest,
- 00:10:26.402 --> 00:10:31.640
- They see each other.
- 00:10:31.640 --> 00:10:32.975
- I want to read to you from the message translation
- 00:10:32.975 --> 00:10:34.810
- Of this verse.
- 00:10:34.810 --> 00:10:36.212
- "'yes indeed, it won't be long now.'
- 00:10:36.212 --> 00:10:38.981
- God's decree.
- 00:10:38.981 --> 00:10:40.516
- 'things are going to happen so fast your head will swim,
- 00:10:40.516 --> 00:10:45.488
- One thing fast on the heels of the other.
- 00:10:45.488 --> 00:10:48.624
- You won't be able to keep up.
- 00:10:48.624 --> 00:10:50.359
- Everything will be happening at once--
- 00:10:50.359 --> 00:10:53.329
- And everywhere you look, blessings!
- 00:10:53.329 --> 00:10:56.365
- Blessings like wine pouring off the mountains
- 00:10:56.365 --> 00:10:59.401
- And hills," hallelujah.
- 00:10:59.401 --> 00:11:01.871
- Everywhere you look,
- 00:11:01.937 --> 00:11:03.272
- Things are happening so fast.
- 00:11:03.272 --> 00:11:04.607
- And everywhere you look, blessings, blessings,
- 00:11:04.607 --> 00:11:07.309
- And more blessings.
- 00:11:07.309 --> 00:11:08.744
- So the writer here brings out the spirit in paraphrase
- 00:11:08.744 --> 00:11:13.783
- Of what amos 9:13 is talking about:
- 00:11:13.783 --> 00:11:17.353
- The swiftness and the blessing.
- 00:11:17.353 --> 00:11:19.421
- Because all that's happening right now
- 00:11:19.421 --> 00:11:20.823
- Is blessings, abundance.
- 00:11:20.823 --> 00:11:22.258
- Even the mountains will drop sweet wine.
- 00:11:22.258 --> 00:11:24.660
- And also the hills will flow.
- 00:11:24.660 --> 00:11:27.830
- Here it says melt.
- 00:11:27.830 --> 00:11:29.165
- It's from the same word, hebrew word
- 00:11:29.165 --> 00:11:30.566
- For flow with milk in joel.
- 00:11:30.566 --> 00:11:32.368
- It will flow with milk.
- 00:11:32.368 --> 00:11:33.702
- The idea there is that it will provide
- 00:11:33.702 --> 00:11:35.504
- Such plenty of rich feeding
- 00:11:35.504 --> 00:11:37.873
- That all the cows will give off an abundance of milk, amen.
- 00:11:37.873 --> 00:11:42.812
- So all the mountains will drop sweet wine
- 00:11:42.812 --> 00:11:45.181
- And all the hills will flow with milk.
- 00:11:45.181 --> 00:11:48.117
- Abundance, abundance, blessings everywhere.
- 00:11:48.117 --> 00:11:50.820
- You look up the mountain: blessings, amen?
- 00:11:50.820 --> 00:11:54.256
- You look at the hills lower, amen: blessings.
- 00:11:54.256 --> 00:11:57.693
- Everywhere you look: abundance, blessing.
- 00:11:57.693 --> 00:12:00.262
- This year, for you and your family, amen,
- 00:12:00.262 --> 00:12:03.465
- Praise the lord.
- 00:12:03.465 --> 00:12:04.800
- Things will happen so fast,
- 00:12:04.800 --> 00:12:06.135
- You will see blessings everywhere.
- 00:12:06.135 --> 00:12:07.469
- Amen and amen, praise the lord.
- 00:12:07.469 --> 00:12:09.738
- Now, to return to david.
- 00:12:09.738 --> 00:12:11.340
- So this coming year, as you look
- 00:12:11.340 --> 00:12:13.142
- At how david brings back the ark,
- 00:12:13.142 --> 00:12:15.444
- There's one point here i just want you
- 00:12:15.444 --> 00:12:16.979
- To always remember is that the ark
- 00:12:16.979 --> 00:12:19.982
- --always hold this in your heart--
- 00:12:19.982 --> 00:12:21.317
- The ark is a picture of our lord jesus christ.
- 00:12:21.317 --> 00:12:24.720
- The king before david, saul, he has no heart for the ark.
- 00:12:24.720 --> 00:12:28.624
- In other words, he typifies the leadership that has no heart
- 00:12:28.624 --> 00:12:31.694
- For the lord jesus christ.
- 00:12:31.694 --> 00:12:33.295
- Jesus is a means to an end.
- 00:12:33.295 --> 00:12:35.364
- But jesus is not central in his life or in the church.
- 00:12:35.364 --> 00:12:41.036
- So jesus needs to be central in our lives, in our marriages.
- 00:12:41.036 --> 00:12:45.474
- "husbands, love your wives," it doesn't stop there:
- 00:12:45.474 --> 00:12:48.277
- "as christ loves the church," amen.
- 00:12:48.277 --> 00:12:50.713
- "wives, submit to your husband, as unto jesus," amen?
- 00:12:50.713 --> 00:12:55.117
- You see jesus behind your husband.
- 00:12:55.117 --> 00:12:56.619
- So your husband is not perfect but you see jesus.
- 00:12:56.619 --> 00:12:59.321
- I can submit to jesus, amen.
- 00:12:59.321 --> 00:13:02.057
- And husbands, love your wife as christ loves the church.
- 00:13:02.057 --> 00:13:05.628
- Wow, that's a tall order.
- 00:13:05.628 --> 00:13:07.162
- You know how christ loves the church?
- 00:13:07.162 --> 00:13:08.597
- With open arms on the cross.
- 00:13:08.597 --> 00:13:10.499
- And i'm supposed to love my wife like that.
- 00:13:10.499 --> 00:13:12.067
- But unless i see jesus, i will not be able
- 00:13:12.067 --> 00:13:14.536
- To love my wife like that.
- 00:13:14.536 --> 00:13:15.871
- It's all about jesus.
- 00:13:15.871 --> 00:13:17.206
- It's all about jesus, amen.
- 00:13:17.206 --> 00:13:18.674
- "children, obey your parents in the lord," amen.
- 00:13:18.674 --> 00:13:21.744
- You see the lord, amen.
- 00:13:21.744 --> 00:13:23.312
- It is in the lord that you're able to obey your parents
- 00:13:23.312 --> 00:13:25.748
- And honor them.
- 00:13:25.748 --> 00:13:27.082
- So again, in all our relationships,
- 00:13:27.082 --> 00:13:28.417
- We bring jesus into the center.
- 00:13:28.417 --> 00:13:29.752
- That's christian relationships.
- 00:13:29.752 --> 00:13:31.787
- It is not a matter of reading books on how to be more
- 00:13:31.787 --> 00:13:33.889
- Successful in your communication and how to be--all that is fine.
- 00:13:33.889 --> 00:13:37.693
- It has its place.
- 00:13:37.693 --> 00:13:39.028
- But listen, you can do all those things and be an uzzah.
- 00:13:39.028 --> 00:13:41.230
- Stretch forth human effort instead of looking at jesus
- 00:13:41.230 --> 00:13:44.800
- And resting in him and seeing his pattern,
- 00:13:44.800 --> 00:13:47.836
- Delighting in the vision of--that the holy spirit
- 00:13:47.836 --> 00:13:50.239
- Is giving you of jesus
- 00:13:50.239 --> 00:13:51.640
- In the area of a marriage,
- 00:13:51.640 --> 00:13:53.208
- In the area of your ministry, in the area of your career,
- 00:13:53.208 --> 00:13:56.545
- And whatever it is that you want to see jesus in,
- 00:13:56.545 --> 00:13:59.882
- He's gotta be center.
- 00:13:59.882 --> 00:14:01.317
- When he's center and you're occupied with him,
- 00:14:01.317 --> 00:14:03.886
- You are obsessed with him, amen,
- 00:14:03.886 --> 00:14:06.655
- He captivates your heart and mind and soul,
- 00:14:06.655 --> 00:14:09.224
- You don't have to worry about a holy life.
- 00:14:09.224 --> 00:14:11.427
- You don't have to worry about behavior going wrong.
- 00:14:11.427 --> 00:14:14.296
- This is where the church is lacking, my friend.
- 00:14:14.296 --> 00:14:16.665
- They have left their first love, amen?
- 00:14:16.665 --> 00:14:20.836
- And how do you restore the first love?
- 00:14:20.836 --> 00:14:22.404
- By coming back to the first love to know that he loves me, amen?
- 00:14:22.404 --> 00:14:27.109
- Praise the lord. praise the lord.
- 00:14:27.109 --> 00:14:29.545
- And i believe that just like david,
- 00:14:29.545 --> 00:14:31.747
- Finally he learned his lesson.
- 00:14:31.747 --> 00:14:33.615
- After uzzah's death, david says, "this is how you bring the ark."
- 00:14:33.615 --> 00:14:37.019
- And he's going to bring the ark back to, where?
- 00:14:37.019 --> 00:14:39.154
- Zion.
- 00:14:39.154 --> 00:14:40.489
- He's going to bring the ark from a place of dishonor
- 00:14:40.489 --> 00:14:42.725
- And neglect to a place of honor and exaltation, amen,
- 00:14:42.725 --> 00:14:47.529
- On a mountain, zion.
- 00:14:47.529 --> 00:14:48.998
- And he's going to bring the ark back.
- 00:14:48.998 --> 00:14:51.033
- But he made a mistake.
- 00:14:51.033 --> 00:14:52.368
- He had a right motive, wrong action, right?
- 00:14:52.368 --> 00:14:55.371
- Because god wants the ark on the shoulders of the priests.
- 00:14:55.371 --> 00:14:59.908
- God wants the ark on the shoulders
- 00:14:59.908 --> 00:15:01.410
- Of the priests.
- 00:15:01.410 --> 00:15:02.845
- You know, i don't know why they put it on an ox cart.
- 00:15:02.845 --> 00:15:05.147
- Maybe because the philistines brought it back on an ox cart.
- 00:15:05.147 --> 00:15:08.384
- But no philistines died.
- 00:15:08.384 --> 00:15:09.952
- Because god knew that for the philistines,
- 00:15:09.952 --> 00:15:11.820
- They are ignorant of god's ways,
- 00:15:11.820 --> 00:15:14.256
- So god was merciful to them.
- 00:15:14.256 --> 00:15:16.425
- They brought back the ark the only way they know how,
- 00:15:16.425 --> 00:15:18.660
- On an ox cart.
- 00:15:18.660 --> 00:15:20.095
- But david should not adopt the ox cart.
- 00:15:20.095 --> 00:15:23.065
- And the levites that were with him should have told him.
- 00:15:23.065 --> 00:15:25.334
- And the levites just ignored that.
- 00:15:25.334 --> 00:15:28.670
- And this is what david said.
- 00:15:28.670 --> 00:15:30.305
- After 3 months, you know, uzzah died
- 00:15:30.305 --> 00:15:32.408
- Because the ark shook.
- 00:15:32.408 --> 00:15:34.309
- Of course, the ark shook.
- 00:15:34.309 --> 00:15:35.644
- Think about it, my friend.
- 00:15:35.644 --> 00:15:37.146
- For 40 years, from sinai all the way,
- 00:15:37.146 --> 00:15:41.984
- Crossing the river jordan
- 00:15:41.984 --> 00:15:43.352
- To the promised land, and then
- 00:15:43.352 --> 00:15:45.320
- Around the walls of jericho, 7 days with the ark
- 00:15:45.320 --> 00:15:49.358
- On their shoulders.
- 00:15:49.358 --> 00:15:50.692
- These 40 years, there's not one account that a levite
- 00:15:50.692 --> 00:15:55.998
- Stumbled carrying the ark.
- 00:15:55.998 --> 00:15:58.167
- No account of that. no account of death in 40 years.
- 00:15:58.167 --> 00:16:01.670
- But in this short distance, kiriath jearim to zion
- 00:16:01.670 --> 00:16:05.474
- Is about 9 miles, there is a death.
- 00:16:05.474 --> 00:16:08.911
- Why?
- 00:16:08.911 --> 00:16:10.245
- Because they didn't do it god's way.
- 00:16:10.245 --> 00:16:11.780
- They did not do it god's way.
- 00:16:11.780 --> 00:16:13.215
- The proper way for the ark to be carried
- 00:16:13.215 --> 00:16:15.584
- Is on the shoulders of the levites,
- 00:16:15.584 --> 00:16:17.986
- Amen, from the priestly family, the levites.
- 00:16:17.986 --> 00:16:20.923
- And you and i today, we are a kingdom of priests, amen?
- 00:16:20.923 --> 00:16:26.028
- Kings and priests.
- 00:16:26.028 --> 00:16:27.396
- This is our priestly ministry.
- 00:16:27.396 --> 00:16:28.964
- Today, the priestly ministry is not selected few
- 00:16:28.964 --> 00:16:31.867
- Who are pastors, leaders, deacons.
- 00:16:31.867 --> 00:16:33.635
- No, no, all of us who are born again,
- 00:16:33.635 --> 00:16:35.737
- We are a family of priests unto god.
- 00:16:35.737 --> 00:16:39.041
- A family of kings unto god.
- 00:16:39.041 --> 00:16:41.510
- Praise the lord, amen.
- 00:16:41.510 --> 00:16:43.312
- So our role is to exalt jesus christ, right?
- 00:16:43.312 --> 00:16:46.782
- Just like we are so excited about our play and all that,
- 00:16:46.782 --> 00:16:49.017
- We put him high on our shoulders to lift him up.
- 00:16:49.017 --> 00:16:51.186
- The idea is what, right?
- 00:16:51.186 --> 00:16:52.554
- Lift him up, amen. lift him high.
- 00:16:52.554 --> 00:16:54.623
- Exalt him.
- 00:16:54.623 --> 00:16:56.325
- And the word that is used there is that the levites bore the ark
- 00:16:56.325 --> 00:17:00.796
- On their shoulders.
- 00:17:00.796 --> 00:17:02.131
- And the word "bore" is very interesting because
- 00:17:02.131 --> 00:17:04.066
- It's the word "nasa," to lift up, amen?
- 00:17:04.066 --> 00:17:07.202
- Nasa.
- 00:17:07.202 --> 00:17:08.537
- And nasa is used in isaiah 53, verse 4,
- 00:17:08.537 --> 00:17:12.407
- Talking about the work of jesus.
- 00:17:12.407 --> 00:17:13.876
- It says: "however, it was our sicknesses
- 00:17:13.876 --> 00:17:18.113
- That he himself bore," nasa,
- 00:17:18.113 --> 00:17:21.150
- "and our pains that he carried."
- 00:17:21.150 --> 00:17:24.753
- Now it's a different word.
- 00:17:24.753 --> 00:17:26.088
- It is saval.
- 00:17:26.088 --> 00:17:27.623
- "yet we ourselves assumed that he had been afflicted,
- 00:17:27.623 --> 00:17:30.959
- Struck down by god, and humiliated."
- 00:17:30.959 --> 00:17:32.628
- So we're talking about jesus here at the cross.
- 00:17:32.628 --> 00:17:34.563
- "it was our sicknesses that he himself bore," nasa.
- 00:17:34.563 --> 00:17:39.601
- "and our pains that he carried," saval actually means
- 00:17:39.601 --> 00:17:43.539
- A heavy load.
- 00:17:43.539 --> 00:17:45.807
- A heavy load.
- 00:17:45.807 --> 00:17:48.010
- My friend, listen.
- 00:17:48.010 --> 00:17:50.946
- As i was preparing this for you, the lord said this to me:
- 00:17:50.946 --> 00:17:54.349
- "if you will bear my son,
- 00:17:54.349 --> 00:17:57.419
- My son will bear your sicknesses.
- 00:17:57.419 --> 00:18:00.789
- If you exalt my son, my son will carry your sicknesses away,
- 00:18:00.789 --> 00:18:05.561
- Carry your pains away.
- 00:18:05.561 --> 00:18:07.829
- You bear my son, and my son will bear your sicknesses.
- 00:18:07.829 --> 00:18:11.800
- You carry the load of my son, and he will carry
- 00:18:11.800 --> 00:18:16.338
- Your pains away."
- 00:18:16.338 --> 00:18:18.407
- Oh hallelujah!
- 00:18:18.407 --> 00:18:20.075
- May this be the theme of your life this year.
- 00:18:20.075 --> 00:18:23.278
- Then all that you do, even in your career
- 00:18:23.278 --> 00:18:25.814
- Or your pursuing of any other dream
- 00:18:25.814 --> 00:18:28.150
- That god is showing you to walk in, all right,
- 00:18:28.150 --> 00:18:31.053
- Make sure that jesus is there in the center of it,
- 00:18:31.053 --> 00:18:35.090
- Amen, friend?
- 00:18:35.090 --> 00:18:36.425
- So david told the levites, you guys forgot.
- 00:18:36.425 --> 00:18:39.361
- Okay, this is what he told them: "he said to them,
- 00:18:39.361 --> 00:18:41.863
- 'you are the heads of the fathers' houses
- 00:18:41.863 --> 00:18:43.232
- Of the levites; sanctify yourselves,
- 00:18:43.232 --> 00:18:45.067
- You and your brethren, that you may bring up
- 00:18:45.067 --> 00:18:46.935
- The ark of the lord god of israel to the place
- 00:18:46.935 --> 00:18:49.137
- I have prepared for it.
- 00:18:49.137 --> 00:18:50.505
- For because you did not do it the first time,
- 00:18:50.505 --> 00:18:53.242
- The lord our god broke out against us,
- 00:18:53.242 --> 00:18:55.711
- Because we did not consult him
- 00:18:55.711 --> 00:18:58.180
- About the proper order."
- 00:18:58.180 --> 00:18:59.848
- You see?
- 00:18:59.848 --> 00:19:01.183
- The proper order which is on the shoulders
- 00:19:01.183 --> 00:19:03.252
- Of the priests, amen?
- 00:19:03.252 --> 00:19:05.420
- On your shoulders and my shoulders.
- 00:19:05.420 --> 00:19:07.389
- God has given us the wonderful, holy privilege
- 00:19:07.389 --> 00:19:11.693
- Of exalting his son in our lives.
- 00:19:11.693 --> 00:19:14.496
- And the more we focus on his son,
- 00:19:14.496 --> 00:19:16.498
- And not on our selfish, you know, occupation,
- 00:19:16.498 --> 00:19:20.569
- But more on his son, making sure
- 00:19:20.569 --> 00:19:23.272
- That everything we do is to glorify him,
- 00:19:23.272 --> 00:19:26.408
- Not to exalt ourselves, but to exalt him, amen.
- 00:19:26.408 --> 00:19:30.612
- This is what god says: you nasa my son,
- 00:19:30.612 --> 00:19:33.749
- My son will nasa your sicknesses,
- 00:19:33.749 --> 00:19:36.385
- Your depression, your infirmities.
- 00:19:36.385 --> 00:19:38.920
- You carry the load of my son in the area of, like,
- 00:19:38.920 --> 00:19:42.157
- Exalting jesus, and later you see,
- 00:19:42.157 --> 00:19:43.925
- It's not even a load for us, all right?
- 00:19:43.925 --> 00:19:46.228
- What he did, he carried, saval, is a heavy load
- 00:19:46.228 --> 00:19:50.799
- Of all our pains.
- 00:19:50.799 --> 00:19:52.167
- He carried our pains. but you know what?
- 00:19:52.167 --> 00:19:53.969
- Our yoke is easy and our burden is light, amen.
- 00:19:53.969 --> 00:19:58.607
- So even this wonderful privilege given to us to exalt
- 00:19:58.607 --> 00:20:02.811
- Jesus christ in and through our lives,
- 00:20:02.811 --> 00:20:06.148
- In and through our person,
- 00:20:06.148 --> 00:20:07.482
- In and through our families, in and through our ministry,
- 00:20:07.482 --> 00:20:10.218
- Our careers, in our relationships,
- 00:20:10.218 --> 00:20:14.456
- It's not something hard.
- 00:20:14.456 --> 00:20:16.992
- And let's see what happened when they did it god's way.
- 00:20:16.992 --> 00:20:19.695
- "so david, the elders of israel, and the captains over thousands
- 00:20:19.695 --> 00:20:22.097
- Went to bring up the ark of the covenant of the lord
- 00:20:22.097 --> 00:20:24.466
- From the house of obed-edom with joy.
- 00:20:24.466 --> 00:20:27.069
- And so it was, when god helped the levites
- 00:20:27.069 --> 00:20:30.339
- Who bore the ark of the covenant of the lord,
- 00:20:30.339 --> 00:20:32.374
- That they offered seven bulls and seven rams."
- 00:20:32.374 --> 00:20:34.743
- "so it was when god helped the levites who bore the ark."
- 00:20:34.743 --> 00:20:37.612
- Notice god never helped uzzah or the cows.
- 00:20:37.679 --> 00:20:43.985
- God helped the levites.
- 00:20:43.985 --> 00:20:45.887
- And based on my studies, i found that
- 00:20:45.887 --> 00:20:49.758
- The weight of the gold and the wood
- 00:20:49.758 --> 00:20:55.197
- And also the contents of the ark weigh about 288 pounds.
- 00:20:55.197 --> 00:21:01.403
- Now that's quite heavy for four men to carry.
- 00:21:01.403 --> 00:21:03.939
- Each of them will carry about 72 pounds.
- 00:21:03.939 --> 00:21:07.075
- Now there's a lot of pounds to carry per person.
- 00:21:07.075 --> 00:21:10.212
- But here it says, god helped them.
- 00:21:10.212 --> 00:21:11.947
- So the jewish writings, some of their writings,
- 00:21:11.947 --> 00:21:16.251
- Tell us about how god helped them.
- 00:21:16.251 --> 00:21:18.353
- They will say things like when they carry the ark,
- 00:21:18.353 --> 00:21:20.889
- The moment they carry the ark, it's as if the tables turned.
- 00:21:20.889 --> 00:21:25.627
- The ark was now lifting them.
- 00:21:25.627 --> 00:21:28.163
- Isn't that--that bares with my spirit, amen.
- 00:21:28.163 --> 00:21:31.400
- It says: "jesus says, 'take my burden on you
- 00:21:31.400 --> 00:21:34.202
- For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.'"
- 00:21:34.202 --> 00:21:37.305
- Let's read that.
- 00:21:37.305 --> 00:21:38.640
- Jesus said, "come unto me," remember?
- 00:21:38.640 --> 00:21:40.709
- "come unto me," not to a formula,
- 00:21:40.709 --> 00:21:43.044
- Not to any other person.
- 00:21:43.044 --> 00:21:44.546
- "come to me, all you who labor and are heavy laden."
- 00:21:44.546 --> 00:21:49.317
- You can put saval there, amen?
- 00:21:49.317 --> 00:21:51.386
- Jesus carried the heavy load of our sins
- 00:21:51.386 --> 00:21:55.023
- And also our diseases and our pains.
- 00:21:55.023 --> 00:21:57.859
- Saval and nasa.
- 00:21:57.859 --> 00:21:59.327
- He nasa, he saval.
- 00:21:59.327 --> 00:22:01.196
- But here it says, "come unto me, all you that labor
- 00:22:01.196 --> 00:22:03.398
- And are heavy laden."
- 00:22:03.398 --> 00:22:04.733
- He's telling you he doesn't want you heavy laden with your sins,
- 00:22:04.733 --> 00:22:09.538
- Heavy laden with your depression,
- 00:22:09.538 --> 00:22:12.207
- Heavy laden with your sickness, heavy laden
- 00:22:12.207 --> 00:22:15.343
- With what is wrong in your life, amen.
- 00:22:15.343 --> 00:22:18.213
- He wants you to come to him.
- 00:22:18.213 --> 00:22:20.015
- What's going to happen when you come to him?
- 00:22:20.015 --> 00:22:21.450
- He says, "and i will give you rest,"
- 00:22:21.450 --> 00:22:24.186
- On my very person.
- 00:22:24.186 --> 00:22:26.121
- My very person will rest you.
- 00:22:26.121 --> 00:22:28.657
- Then he says this: "take my yoke upon you
- 00:22:28.657 --> 00:22:31.860
- And learn from me, for i am gentle
- 00:22:31.860 --> 00:22:34.095
- And lowly in heart, and you will find rest
- 00:22:34.095 --> 00:22:37.632
- For your souls.
- 00:22:37.632 --> 00:22:39.835
- For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."
- 00:22:39.835 --> 00:22:44.172
- Remember, child of god,
- 00:22:44.172 --> 00:22:45.674
- Whenever you serve the lord jesus,
- 00:22:45.674 --> 00:22:47.876
- His yoke, whatever yoke it is that he has put you on,
- 00:22:47.876 --> 00:22:51.513
- My yoke is to preach every week.
- 00:22:51.513 --> 00:22:54.182
- I need to prepare a message and all that.
- 00:22:54.182 --> 00:22:55.984
- And sometimes the devil wants to give me a saval mentality:
- 00:22:55.984 --> 00:22:59.321
- It's a heavy load.
- 00:22:59.321 --> 00:23:00.655
- It's a heavy load. it's a heavy load for preaching.
- 00:23:00.655 --> 00:23:02.157
- It's a heavy load.
- 00:23:02.157 --> 00:23:03.492
- I need to learn that if it's truly from jesus,
- 00:23:03.492 --> 00:23:05.660
- It's going to be easy yoke, light burden,
- 00:23:05.660 --> 00:23:09.931
- Or else it's not of jesus.
- 00:23:09.931 --> 00:23:11.466
- Everywhere you look: blessings, overabundance, praise the lord,
- 00:23:11.466 --> 00:23:15.504
- Supply, amen, in every area of your life.
- 00:23:15.504 --> 00:23:18.907
- Praise the name of jesus.
- 00:23:18.907 --> 00:23:20.509
- Do not have a sense that you are alone, you are without help.
- 00:23:20.509 --> 00:23:24.546
- Have a sense, "jesus loves me.
- 00:23:24.546 --> 00:23:26.915
- This i know and he is with me.
- 00:23:26.915 --> 00:23:29.518
- And i am on mount zion."
- 00:23:29.518 --> 00:23:31.253
- And mount zion, god says, "i have chosen zion;
- 00:23:31.253 --> 00:23:33.922
- I have desired it," for what?
- 00:23:33.922 --> 00:23:36.258
- "my resting place."
- 00:23:36.258 --> 00:23:37.626
- And god will never change his mind to go back to sinai.
- 00:23:37.626 --> 00:23:40.462
- No, all right, sinai is not antiquated.
- 00:23:40.462 --> 00:23:42.998
- God has moved mountains.
- 00:23:42.998 --> 00:23:44.399
- Make sure you do. make sure you do.
- 00:23:44.399 --> 00:23:46.601
- Praise the name of jesus.
