God has power and decided to create us as human beings, we must be grateful. When I came to this country I had the opportunity to visit a farm for the first time and I saw how animals were treated. Animals sleep outside and the master decides what time they will open the gate. Cows are not treated as human beings because they were not created as human beings. Their job is just to feed us. We milk the cows and have milk. God has given us the intelligence to transform the milk into different products. God has given us extras that animas do not have. We have the capacity to choose right from wrong and to distinguish from what pleases and doesn’t please God.
You people are human beings created in My
image. God can use our actions to
produce good things. Sometimes I visit
the supermarket and find different kinds of meat from the same cow and those
types of meat have different names: chops, mince etc. Once a human being processes the same meat
from the cow, the name changes. Our job
is to transform what is natural and physical to make it to appear new.
For example, if you bring in a chicken now,
can we eat this chicken? We won’t want
to but if we go to McDonalds we will eat it because it is transformed. The price of Jesus on the cross is not what
the church should see so we can believe God exists. We must consume the final product. Jesus did the work on the cross and gives us
the final meal now: consume now. Don’t
harden your heart and say, I’m waiting for God to do something, that will never
happen because God is waiting for you to do something.
We must raise our eyes and look at the Lord. In my weaknesses, do my eyes still have sight
or have I lost the sight of my eyes.
People can see me walking around but I don’t see them. When you didn’t see someone and they say, I
saw you. We normally say, sorry, I
didn’t see you.
When you don’t see the face of the Lord and
we are walking in darkness, come to Him with your, “sorry, I didn’t see Your
presence or what you are doing, I need sight to see You”. We need light to see also. Eyes without light cannot see. My mum used to tell me, you can read but
without light you cannot read. You can
have knowledge and understand how things work and discover by reading but when
there is no light, everything becomes dark and you can’t get the message from
the txt anymore.
The Bible is a tool we use but when we are
living in darkness, we lose the understanding and message from the Bible
because we can read it but not see what we are reading.
Mathew 24:8-9, at the end of the time there
will be shortage of food. we have a lot
in this country, we are not starving, we have plenty of vegetables and
meat. We have never seen shortage of
food. after that there will be
earthquake. Then people will feel pain
like birth pain.
A pain that cannot be explained to someone
who hasn’t been through it. A pain that
pushes the mother to go to maternity.
Remember that pain can’t happen until the time is there. The mother must wait several weeks before to
feel that pain. The mother must go
through the process and then the pain will start. When pain comes, that is the signal that
something is coming to life, something is going to happen very soon.
When the pain starts, every mother and every
human being will know that this is the time.
My mum used to say, “my turn has come.
I don’t have time now to look after you and cook but be here with your
father, I am going somewhere else”. We
are called to give up all our activities to prepare for the new born baby. A woman will not drive herself to the
maternity or do other activities.
Before the baby comes there is a time to
prepare for the baby. Exercise, eat
certain food and buy certain clothes for the baby. When it is time for birth everyone is waiting
and ready to see something new in the family.
The mystery of God in your life because we don’t know who that will be. When the Word of God comes to you, it doesn’t
come quietly but it gives pain and the pain produces life. If you are not taking that pain with more
care then you will lose what should come from you.
You as the church are the wife of Jesus and
the Lord has put a seed in you and that seed is growing in you to produce life,
not death. What are you doing to look
after that seed that Jesus put in your soul?
We know very well that sin produces death. Are you preparing yourself to produce new
life? What is that pregnancy that is
new? Are you taking care of it or not?
2 Kings 5: Naaman was a captain of the
Syrian army and was a hero. He was
strong and intelligent. Wherever he went
he would defeat the army. His presence was victory. The king of Syria believed that Naaman must
be next to him every time. But every
person has a “but” in their life and Naaman had a “but”: but Naaman had leprosy
and he couldn’t get rid of it. For years
he couldn’t change it. Whenever he put
on his uniform his enemies did not notice he was sick. He was a mighty soldier but he was sick.
Maybe Naaman cried over his sickness. He had money but not good health. That pregnancy (sickness) made him
suffer. As they brought slaves into
Syria, a little girl as a simple servant discovered Naaman had leprosy. In a quiet and nice voice she told the wife
of Naaman, I know someone who can heal Naaman.
The little girls was not afraid to talk.
You and I are like Naaman, we are soldiers of the Lord, we can fight
against the power of darkness and we are victorious but sometimes we are sick
and covered in leprosy.
We go to the battle field in pain and
suffering. The little girl is our
conscience telling us, what are you doing?
If you come back to Jesus, you can find healing. The problem you are going through, if you
bring it to Jesus, you will find solution.
Sometimes we tell our conscience to shut up, you are only a slave in our
life and our conscience won’t fight back because you are stronger than your
conscience. God has given you the
capacity to smash your conscience but it will remind you again when it sees you
suffering in sin.
Many women don’t want to go through pain so
they take medicine to be pain free. Some
people today make sure their conscience is dead so they can be free. They don’t want the pain of the gospel
anymore. That is where we start to fight
God.
When pain comes, that is the beginning of
things. If you try to stop that pain you
are killing your eternal life. When you
start to avoid your pain, that is when you will kill your Kingdom of God. We all believe we have enough time on this
earth and forget that our lives are short.
We believe we have time to change.
For example, the Bhandal family lost their
nana and we are very sorry for that. Michelle
sent me a message that the funeral will be such day and I put it on my phone
but the day passed and I missed it by mistake.
Shame on me, why did I forget it?
Negligence? Was it because I relied on my phone? Was it because I don’t care?
Remember satan tries to take away your
plans. You plan to pray at 7am but at
7am, satan says, no wait until tomorrow, now is not a good time. Jesus says, look with your eyes, I am here,
do you see Me? we kill that appointment
with God and He is sad.
Naaman accepted what the king said to see
the prophet. Naaman was told to go into
the river 7x. I have seen the river
Jordan and it is very dirty and brown.
It is a river where people clean their sickness, animals, clothes and
sometimes even sewerage. Imagine our
primeminister Jacinda going into such river.
But through that dirtiness, there was healing. Most of the time when we read the Word of God
we find it dirty, “no I don’t feel like going into the Word of God. How will people feel about me reading the Word
of God or sharing it here?”
This morning I was receiving calls from all
over the world and asking me about the situation of Congo. People can share with you the disasters all
over the world but when you send a message of Jesus, people are not
interested. If it was about the Kardashians
or about the latest movie, people will find it interesting.
I purchased this song from itunes, “How
great you are” for $1:50 and I shared it with all my friends (400 people). Less than 10 people have opened that song. Just by reading the title they are not
interested. We feel God’s presence is
like the river Jordan. God doesn’t mean
anything to us anymore.
Naaman stepped into the river twice, three
times but didn’t want to do it anymore.
I am in pain but I don’t want to, I am tired. The encouragement of others made him to go
7x. Do you encourage your soul to go
closer to God 7x, to read the Bible 7x, even if your body doesn’t want it, even
if you are tired? Don’t wait to be
encouraged from others, it must come from yourself. Today is the day of the Lord, I have an
appointment with God, I will pray. I
have done it yesterday and the day before, yes, you have to do it 7x and by
pushing your body, that is when you will get healing. If you believe what you have done is enough,
you will be the loser.
In the bedroom of Naaman was a secret of
sickness. What do you cover in your life
so others can’t see? God sees it. The Lord
is asking you today to look wherever He is, open your eyes and see Him.
After the birth is joy and mums forget
about the pain. Mums take their babies
and discover for the first time how they look like. Some mums die during the process. Some babies don’t survive the process. Sometimes mums have to accept surgery in
order to deliver the baby. The pain of
saving your soul and giving something new to the Kingdom of God can sometimes
put you in trouble.
Are you ready to die to bring new life? Are you ready to give up all activities, “here
I am use me Lord, I want to give birth”?
Are you ready to go through any operation of Jesus to give life to those
in you, those around you are a pregnancy in you? One day God will ask you, what did you do
with Rebekah? When it was time to give
birth, you decided to kill the baby. How
many souls have you killed in your life and aborted them so you can be free.
How many times have you destroyed God’s
plans in other people’s lives? e.g. you
have the desire to meet with someone but you don’t feel like going out. Your first enemy is your body. When you feel pain, don’t try to please your
body over your soul. How many mothers
sacrifice themselves for their baby. If
the baby is in danger, the mother will rescue it and prefer to die because they
love the child. Mothers cover the child in the cold, feed them when they are
hungry, protect them from danger.
God gives us souls to help but we are the
first ones to destroy the souls and treat those people like animals rather than
human beings.
