in every circumstance and give you courage and strength for every challenge.]

until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or
stroke [of the pen] will pass from the Law until all things
[which it foreshadows] are accomplished.

00:00 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Brothers and sisters, today the power of Christ Daily 21 February 2016 A Sunday 50 commands of Jesus Christ. 17 part 3 Brothers and sisters, yesterday we left test follow. One of the issues we dealt with is Jesus
command is follow me.
00:19 Follow me and I’ll make you fishers of men. And of course he didn’t say, follow me, I’ll make you a great doctor. Follow me, I’ll make you a great surgeon.
00:24 Follow me, I’ll make you a great engineer. Follow me, I’ll make you a great businessman. Follow me, I’ll make you a millionaire.
00:34 No, follow me, I’ll make you fishers of men. Now, at the same time, so this the primary thing of following Jesus Christ. Follow me, I’ll make you fishers of men.
00:43 Souls. Now what about then? That means, Pastor, we don’t do any work, we don’t want to do any career, we don’t have any goals in life. Hey, nobody said don’t do that.
00:54 Jesus didn’t say don’t do that. He said, you be diligent in everything what you do. Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might be a sound mind.
01:03 Be salt and light. Salt and light is for connection between human beings and Father God, for reconciliation between human beings, Father God, peace between man and God. But yes, we’ll use the careers.
01:19 Careers are not the main issue. Whatever career that God has led you to do, you do and do well. And in that career, it is not the primary aim of the career.
01:30 It is not a. It is an incidental thing to our living. Our living is righteousness, peace and joy.
01:36 Righteousness, peace and joy. Yes, you have a career, you have a profession, you are a surveyor, you are a valuer, you are an insurance agent, you are an expert in insurance or whatever. Actually you are a carpenter, you are an electrician.
01:52 All that is incidental to our living. It is not the primary purpose of our living. We are sojourners, we are pilgrims, we are journeying here.
02:03 Our home is in heaven. We are citizens of heaven. So while you are doing, you will of course excel in the profession or whatever work God has given you to do.
02:13 But while you are excelling, you are all the time thinking, I’ll be fishers of men. I’ll be a fisher of men. Not fishermen, fisher of men.
02:23 Brothers and sisters, this is the issue. But what has happened? People begin to think that their career is the main thing. And then they begin to cry out to Christ, Lord, I want to excel at this.
02:32 I want to do this, I want to build the biggest bridge in town or whatever. Yes, build the biggest bridge in town. But that is not the primary purpose.
02:42 When you are building the bridge in town, the biggest bridge in town, you are looking out for souls. How to declare Christ? How to bring the light of Christ to humanity? A foreign humanity, a suffering humanity, a humanity full of all captives of
Satan? How to give them power from Christ? How can they overcome Satan? They can drive out the evil spirit because Jesus gives them power. They can then have self control.
03:07 They will have love. Love God with all their heart, mind, soul and strength. Love one another as I have loved you.
03:13 Love your neighbour as yourself and love your enemy. Even to be sons of the most high God. This is the issue.
03:20 So follow me. I’ll make you precious men. Precious of men doesn’t mean everything else is deleted.
03:25 Everything. No, that goes on. But your focus is this daily of thinking of others.
03:31 You’re being salt and light. You’re being humble. You’re caring first, caring for your own family, your household.
03:38 You are making sure you provided everything, not just money. You have provided guidance. You have provided direction to Christ about Christ.
03:41 You have provided coverings. You have provided them, giving them power in Christ to use so they can live a life. Now then, to the people you are in contact with, always loving.
03:58 Always loving. Correcting people is also loving. Because when people are going wrong, you say this is wrong according to God’s word, the consequences will be like this.
04:07 Now that is loving people may not understand that people get angry when you correct them. They say, oh, you are holy that thou, holy that thou. Therefore, when you correct people in the word of God, first of all, God says what? Take out the log in
my own eye? Before I look at the speck in my brother’s eye, before I go and correct somebody, I better look at myself first.
04:28 Once that settles, then I’m supposed to go and look at my brother’s eye. Speck in my brother’s eye. But if I don’t want to bother with a log in my own eye, then obviously I’m just being proud and going and doing.
04:38 And then why am I correcting? Is it the right spirit? Am I correcting because I care for them so they won’t be destroyed? Or am I correcting because I’m putting myself in a pedestal? Up, up in the pedestal, I am something. Then already I have a
problem. I’m already in sin.
04:56 I must be correcting because Jesus Christ directed me. The spirit of God has directed me. So when you’re dealing with other people’s characters.
05:04 Make sure you have taken the log out of your own eye before you look in the speck in your brother’s eye. 2. Make sure that the spirit of God is telling you.
05:13 Now, outside world, you try to go and correct people. You may be throwing pearls to swine and the thing may trample on the pearls and tear and then turn around and tear you to pieces. Then after you say, I’ve been persecuted for Christ.
05:26 No, you’re not being persecuted for Christ. Remember this, you are being damaged, hammered or whatever for your own. What you sow, you are reaping because you are not listening to the voice of the Spirit of God.
05:38 Before you do anything, you must learn to be led by the Spirit of God. So learn to be led by the Spirit of God. Now.
05:45 Jesus. Command number five. Let your light shine.
05:47 Let your light shine. Matthew 5:16. Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good deeds and moral excellence and recognize and honour and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
06:03 Now, brothers and sisters, you say, let your light shine before men. And so what is that? In such a way that they may see your good deeds and moral excellence. So they will always see.
06:15 You always stand for right things, but humbly. You always stand for the right thing, but humbly, you always care for people. They are seeing that right.
06:24 Tell me, I’m a Christian. I’m a Christian wearing a cross. Some people tattoo the cross.
06:28 Tattooing is sin, brothers and sisters. Jesus already told in the Old Testament, you don’t go and tattoo anything in your body. But people still do.
06:36 I’ll tattoo Christ. You tattoo Christ also is sin. Why he didn’t say you can tattoo God there on your skin.
06:43 He is saying, father, God is telling you, act out your humbleness to the world. You’re bringing salt and light to the world. Flavor.
06:52 When you’re speaking, there is flavour. People know you’re speaking of some words. It’s going to help them.
07:00 For instance, you tell them, if you’re in fear, if you see somebody in fear, quietly take them for tea and say, you can do this. You’re not telling them, forcing them to do this. You can do this.
07:10 If you want, you can do this. Now, as I begin to pray for you, you begin to breathe the breath of God. You begin to breathe, believing in the breath of God, not air.
07:18 Now, when they do that, they will be released. When they release, they know Jesus Christ is true and real. And they got somebody.
07:25 Jesus, the son of the living God, is with Them and they can call on him and who knows, middle of the night the person may be calling on Jesus Christ but instead of doing that you just going pointing flaw, pointing fault, pointing fault. And then
somebody fixes you that then you deserve. People don’t want to mix with you, then you deserve it.
07:43 What you sow, you reap. There are people like this and then, oh, put a big cross. Even the hip hop demonic music also put a big cross and play guitar, metal music and all that’s not going to get you into heaven.
07:59 In fact what you are doing, using a big cross and acting like a demon, you are actually blessing the name of Jesus Christ. So all these people just put tattoo on your body. That’s not going to work.
08:11 Humble yourselves. It’s a conduct, it’s a conduct in the spirit what you do. It’s not everybody to go to heaven.
08:19 Very simple. I put the biggest tattoo, the biggest cross and most amount of crosses on all my body and I’ll reach home heaven will I? This is one of the things people do because you know why they do not want to do what Jesus says. So they want to
find a shortcut.
08:36 Oh, hold on to the cross and the cross because they seen some exorcist movie or whatever. When the demon comes, somebody showed the cross and the demon went to sick. The demon will just whack the cross and go.
08:46 He’s not bothered. It’s just a symbol, it’s just a man made material. Until you invoke the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, the demon won’t go.
08:56 You can show all the crosses. You want this story, don’t listen to that. Otherwise very easy.
09:03 Everybody can act like demons. Everybody sin like crazy. Everybody adulterer and fornicators and liars and cheaters and violent and all that.
09:12 Like what I was and just show some crosses. Just have some crosses, brothers and sisters. Easy.
09:19 I’ll go make a big cross and put all over my house. Many crosses won’t work. Now brothers and sisters, let’s see the truth of Christ.
09:26 It’s the spirit. Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good deeds and moral excellence. Because for them it’s moral.
09:36 Why moral excellence? The world doesn’t know about Christ. So they see what your conduct. Even the unbeliever will know when you do right things and when you do the right things.
09:46 Don’t put on a pedestal and say look, see I am doing the right thing. That is pride. That is the first sin in the entire universe.
09:55 Lucifer did it now we did it. I had pride. Now why was I blaspheming Jesus Christ? Beautiful at the words pride.
10:03 Think I know? What did I know? Suffered finally, brothers, by mercy of Jesus Christ still arrested me, took me to himself and gave me peace. Let us now today understand this. Today, every day you think.
10:17 Now you see. If I go back and look at the Come on, repent. And the next one is let not your heart be troubled.
10:23 Follow me. Rejoice exceedingly joyful no matter what happens then only for your reward is in heaven. And now let your light shine.
10:32 Now there is a recording we did years ago which is the grace of life. If you go to the graceoflife.com graceoflife.com There’s a recording. Or ask the moderators on the words of Jesus.
10:45 One whole cd, one hour CD is only on the words of Jesus. Now we have recorded years ago and we play. And those who play on and on and on in the bedroom when they are sleeping and when they are in the car, they are listening when they are driving and
all that their lives will change because the words of God will go inside you.
11:03 Go and get the cd, brothers, or go and download the thing. It is free. Go and Download from the www.
11:23 graceoflife.com and go to the segment where it says free audios and all that Free audio, audio PDF. Go and look for it. Ask moderators or write an email to the graceoflife.com they’ll reply to you.
11:28 And you download it and download it. Put it in the MP3 and then play it. Play it in your house.
11:32 Play it for your children. Play it. And you keep on listening on and on.
11:39 You’ll find that your children will change. Can you imagine you play the words of God while your children are sleeping. Words of Jesus.
11:53 It’s all words of Jesus, only that you’re taken out in between all the other things I’ve spoken. So therefore, sometimes it may not make sense if you want to follow the storyline, but the words of Jesus will go in and it will happen from inside. It
will happen in the spirit.
11:57 Go and collect that. Play it for your family. Play it for yourself, brothers and sisters.
12:11 So let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good deeds and recognize and honor and glorify your Father. They will know, they say, that’s a Christian, you know, that’s why he stands for the right. So even if they don’t
want to promote him, he’ll do the right thing.
12:15 If they want to promote him, you will do the right thing. People will begin to talk. Then they know.
12:21 Then you glorify your Father in heaven. Honor God’s law. Honor God’s law.
12:31 6. Do not think that I came to do away with or undo the law of Moses or the writings of the prophets. I did not come to destroy, but to fulfill.
13:01 For I assure you and most solemnly say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke of the pen will pass from the law until all the things which it foreshadows are accomplished. 19 so whoever breaks one of the least
important of these commandments and teaches others to do the same, will be called least important in the kingdom of heaven. But whoever practices and teaches them, he will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
13:11 So what is Jesus Christ telling? You have to practice the commandments and teach the commandments. Now, he did not come to abolish the law. He complete the law.
13:18 Now, there are two aspects of the law. One is, if you sin this way, sad way, this will happen. If you do this, it will happen.
13:29 What you sow, you will reap. Adulterer will become the value of a crust, of a piece of bread, a dried crust of bread, that the value of adulterers. Adulterers will finally end up there.
13:43 Adulterers will finally, oh, sometimes you see, when you’re 40, 50, nothing happening. When finally it happens, the value will become like a piece of crust of bread, like a rust, small piece. That’s the value that they become.
14:09 Their value, not only just monetarily, their own character, their reputation, everything will become like that. So finally, when they’re dying, there’s nothing now, the value of the piece of crust of bread, it happened to me so few years ago. In
fact, over a period of time, whenever I’m counseling people or counselling husbands of believing disciples of Christ, these women, then I will go and sit with her husband and tell, look, I was adulterous.
14:16 I’m not condemning you. And God’s word is this. You will finally become the value of the crust of a piece of bread.
14:39 Now, some will get angry, of course, but having said that, I also did told, and this happens. There are cases that in fact, one person, I even wrote a letter and told them, look here, I’m not condemning you because this happened. So I wrote a letter
and told this man, look, the wife is a believer, but you are adulterer.
14:50 So do you have to stop this? And you have to stop this very easy, because I’ll show you how. By the blood of Jesus, the name of Jesus you can stop this so you please, for your own sake. Otherwise it happened.
14:55 And then it happened. It happened. His health all went, everything went within.
15:06 I think within six, seven months it started happening. You know, brothers and sisters, God’s laws that are written down in the Old Testament will also apply. It is not destroyed or cancelled.
15:11 So do not think I’m telling you when I say Old Testament. It’s the Old Testament. It’s a ministry of death.
15:18 God, Jesus Christ has said and life. And this is the ministry of life. But do not delete or forget about the Old Testament.
15:35 Those things are stated in the Old Testament and the law will apply. But here in the New Testament, Jesus has given us power to do the right thing and overcome whatever wrong we are doing. By the blood of Jesus Christ, by the name of Jesus Christ,
he has given us that power.
15:57 Please, brothers and sisters, do not just dismiss the commands of the Old Testament like nothing do, but now you are empowered to fulfill it. While the Old Testament, when Jesus said to do something people couldn’t do, that is why Jesus came,
suffered, died on the cross and gave blood and we took his name and we can now do so. Do not just say Old Testament.
16:05 No, that will apply to us. What we sow, we will reap, is still the command. And all these commandments of the Old Testament will apply now.
16:14 Only thing Jesus said, you don’t have to do some of the things you got to do to get to heaven. Like for instance, cut the goats and sacrifice the lambs and all that. You don’t have to do that.
16:22 He has fulfilled it. He has fulfilled those practices to get into heaven. Now you get to Jesus and we’ll go to heaven.
16:34 Brothers and sisters, this understanding must be clear. One, the command that don’t do something still apply because we will suffer on earth. Two, you have to do something to get to heaven that has been fulfilled by Jesus Christ and so on.
16:41 Now we go to Jesus Christ and so we don’t have to do that. We don’t cut lamps and goats and whatnot. Brothers and sisters, today is a wonderful day.
16:51 It’s a Sunday. When you go to service or whatever you please remember, it’s more important to obey the words of God. Obey the commandments of Jesus Christ and you’ll have great life.
You’ll have a great life. Brothers and sisters, the commands of Jesus Christ. Amen.
