00:01 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth Brothers and sisters, today the power of Christ Daily 16th of December 2015 titled Educated Fools Educated fools Brothers and sisters, I’m talking about me First I was an educated fool. I was an educated fool. Now
brothers and sisters, let’s see what happened here. By age 2021 I was the head of Soxo for Malacca state of Malacca the whole state of Malacca I was the head by age 2021 you know now can you imagine SOXO is those who are outside the country from
Malaysian it’s called PERO the Social Security Security Organization of Malaysia the government agency head by 2021 I Professional exams UK External professional exams I had set Malaysian Asian world records which at least one is still standing I
think after 40 years so educated fantastic.

01:04 But actually I was a fool. Why? Why? First of all, I did not have wisdom. I did not have wisdom.

01:14 Now Proverbs 9:10 clearly says reading from King James Version, the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. So understanding can only come from the fear of the Lord. Fear of God is the
beginning of wisdom, the fear of the Lord.

01:33 Psalm 11:10, verse 10 says the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. A good understanding of all those who do his commandments. Do his commandments, his praise endures forever.

01:47 Now why do I call myself a fool? God called me a fool. God’s Word calls me a fool. Psalm 14:1 Fools say in their hearts there is no God.

02:00 They are corrupt, they do abominable deeds. There is no one who does good. Psalm 14:1 from the Catholic edition we are seeing they are corrupt, they do abominable deeds.

02:05 There is no one who does good. Brothers and sisters, I was an educated fool. There are many educated fools.

02:24 There are many educated fools. Now I have seen doctors, surgeons, top surgeons treating their interns or whatever like dirt everyday dirt. They don’t think about God.

02:39 I’ve seen judges, judges who act without conscience. I’ve seen lawyers treating their staff like dirt. They are training lawyers panic and they do all kinds of things because when you ask them, do you believe in God? I believe in God.

03:02 I believe in God. No brothers and sisters, just because we say believe in God doesn’t mean you believe in God. They do not have the fear of God.

03:08 They do not have no beginning of wisdom, no wisdom. No fear of God means no wisdom. And they do not have the knowledge of the Holy One, no knowledge of God.

03:19 So there’s no understanding. And in our case we know without Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God. Our sins cannot come out.

03:27 Cannot come out. So now the problem here is there are many who are highly educated, but fools. God calls them fools.

03:35 That is probably why in one of the scriptures, Jesus Christ says, do not call your brother fools. Do not call your brother Raka fool. That fool is because he’s talking to the Jews and those Jews your brother believing in God.

03:51 So if you’re a Jew and then you call, they’re not talking about the Jews that are of synagogue of Satan. God calls them. Now there are Jews who are synagogue of Satan, the Jews who are following God.

04:05 He tells him, you don’t call your brother fool because he believes in God. You can’t say fool because a fool is what who says. There’s no God.

04:13 Now, brothers and sisters. So there are. You can be highly educated, fantastic achiever, but yet you can be a fool because you do not fear of God.

04:26 No wisdom without wisdom. You are a fool. Because fear of God is the beginning of wisdom.

04:30 And knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. Now there are others who are actually uneducated schools. Why? By fate of life.

04:43 They did not have education, but some they were sent to school and they form small groups, some cliques. They may not be real gangs of the gangs, as they say, the criminal gang. There may be small cliques and all going out, just smoking.

04:57 Don’t want to do, do not want to study. They go into movies. Now even you can be tend to the best international school.

05:04 So what can the school all the time observe your son or daughter. Now brothers and sisters, the other thing is this. As I went along in life, you know, Jesus, everybody knows and tells I’m brilliant.

05:16 Yeah, true, But I was a fool. I was brilliant in the world’s eyes. In fact, that is why people say I. I’m proud of my son.

05:24 I’m proud of my achievements. I’m proud of this. All the achievements I did.

05:29 What happened? The devil came to steal, kill and destroy. I didn’t know that. Because wisdom comes from the fear of God.

05:36 If the fear of God happened, the wisdom of God would have come. And then finally, by mercy of Jesus Christ, he opened my eyes and brought me in as his son, as his disciple. Brothers and sisters, in First John 2:16, First John 2:16, I’m reading from
the amplified for all that is in the world.

05:55 The lust and sensual craving of the flesh and the lust and longing of the eyes and the boastful pride of life. They’ll say pride of life. If you have pride of life, it’s not from the Father God, but from the world.

06:10 Pride of life is pretentious confidence in one’s resources on the stability of earthly things, but all from the world. That’s why when you say I’m proud of my achievements, be proud of your achievement. The world will tell you they’re building this
into you.

06:26 Actually, we must understand our achievements were not achieved in the isolated vacuum. It was because God gave the brilliance, God gave the opportunity, God gave the opening. God protected you from being accident and whatnot and illness so that you
can go and study, you can do well, and God protecting you to get the job and all that and can’t stop the devil stealing from you.

06:53 But when you begin not recognizing God, I don’t know. I am, I am, I am. I can do this and that.

06:59 Now we’ll look at other examples. What’s happened? There may be people who are not saying, I’m not they actually humble, but they’re not humble to God’s word. Not humble to God’s word.

07:11 So take husband and wife. Maybe both are doctors, maybe both are lawyers, maybe both are engineers. Maybe one is a one in one profession, another, another profession.

07:20 But some others may be ordinarily doing normal people doing government servants, doing clerical work, bureaucratic work, it, whatever. They marry with the good intentions and all that, right? But they don’t recognize just because you say, I fear
God, I fear God. Do you fear God? What is the thing to fear God? You must love God to do what his commandments are.

07:45 Now, when they fear God, they don’t seek God, they do not look for the word of God. Now, I was a classic educated fool. I didn’t know the spirit plane.

07:55 That’s why when finally Jesus got hold of me, I was shocked out of my wits that there is such a thing as if demons can be cast out. Earlier I begin to sense it because I went to the shaman, the bomo and all that, but no power to do anything. But I
was shocked that our loving God sent his son to die on the cross, suffer on earth and die on the cross, and rise again from the pit of hell to come and give me power and use.

08:20 Mark 16:17. Cast out demons in his name. Cast out the evil spirit in his name.

08:27 So if you fear God, you will want to do what God tells you. And God tells you through his son. The one order he gives is, if you believe these signs will follow, you will cast out evil spirits in my name.

08:40 Evil spirits of what? Including foolishness. Including foolishness. Now, pride of life, brother and sister.

08:46 When I Begin to think of the achievements where I did, which I cannot say I did. Suppose devil attacked me at that time in 1819, 20 or whatever, when I was. I wouldn’t have done that.

08:59 Achieved that, isn’t it? Could have got an accident while traveling to Malaysia. Finish. But therefore.

09:05 But if we think of it even now, if I contemplate on it, some priority will come. I think I’ve been something fantastic, you know, because the world says fantastic. What? 2021, the head of the whole state of Malacca for Social Security organization.

09:20 Of course the world says fantastic. Professional examination records, of course, fantastic. But.

09:27 And then went on fantastic. Became senior in the private sector and then started my own company and then became valued for the millions, whatever and then drop and become zero and minus and negative and what have you. Why? Because the devil came to
steal, kill and destroy, that is why.

09:42 Brothers and sisters, these things we have to understand. The pride of life is a spirit. Mark 16:17.

09:49 Begin to cast out. Begin to run to Jesus Christ. Humble ourselves.

09:52 Grace comes more when you humble ourselves and take the power of Christ and do teach our children, pray over them. Cast out everything over their lives that are negative rubbish coming from the devil and release the love of God. Tell them God loves
you.

10:07 Jesus Christ loves you. And you will love him by keeping his commandments, which is for our own sake. For our own sake.

10:13 You love Jesus Christ for our own sake. You keep the commandments because it will protect you and see you through. In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray Amen.
