00:01 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Brothers and sisters, today the power of Christ daily the kingdom of God and pearls to pigs. The kingdom of God and pearls to pigs are titled. Brothers and sisters, today is a Sunday, 28th of February.
00:16 Now let’s look at these words. First, seek first the kingdom of God that is in Matthew 6:33 and of course in Luke or Soa. But first, most importantly, seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as
well.
00:34 This is I’m reading from the Catholic edition. Strive first for the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Sometimes the translation will say, seek first the kingdom of God and all these things will
be added to you as well.
00:52 Now here I am reading from Amplified now. But first and foremost, seek aim at strive after his kingdom and his righteousness, his way of doing and being right, the attitude and character of God. And all these things will be given to you also.
01:13 Now, brothers and sisters, first of all, what is the kingdom of God? This is absolutely critical that because Seek the kingdom of God. Seek the kingdom of God. I mentioned to you all before when I first came to the Lord 20 years ago, and I also want
to seek.
01:29 I’ve heard this scripture. They preach this, but they never tell you what’s the kingdom of God. They say, seek the kingdom of God.
01:35 Seek the kingdom of God. First, seek the kingdom of God. Now I say I want to.
01:40 But what is the kingdom of God? Where do I find it? What do I do? They cannot tell you. They say be right and all that. But actually, finally, a couple of years later, somebody was preaching from some other ministry.
01:55 And there in passing, it went on to mention in Romans, the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, peace and joy. Righteousness, peace and joy. And then I started meditating on that word.
02:07 And it became clear that the kingdom of God is the condition of your soul. If you are in the kingdom of God, there will be certain conditions in your soul. You will have righteousness, peace and joy.
02:20 Now let’s look at Amplified. What is his righteousness, peace and joy, his way of doing and being right, God’s way, Jesus Christ’s way of doing and being right, the attitude and character of God and all these things will be added. Now that’s another
fantastic thing.
02:38 If you have the kingdom of God in you, all that the unbelievers are seeking and chasing and whatnot will be added to you. All your needs. It needs not whatever you want, whatever we Want father God will not give us.
02:51 Why? Some of the whatever we want will harm us. So whatever is going to harm us, he will not give us. Which father is going to give something to the child? Is something going to harm the child? But of course, earthly fathers being earthly fathers,
sometimes we are not in discipline.
03:08 They the children begin to become messy or crying out or rebellious. Finally, to keep them quiet, mothers fathers give them that. But that is going to lead them into big trouble as they continue growing up.
03:21 And when they grow up, many times, especially grandparents, grandfathers and grandmothers will simply give away to grandchildren what they would have not given to even their children. Because they know that can harm them. But somehow or other they
lose the sensibility when they get old.
03:38 I think the sensibility that the grandchild come and manja them. Manja is oh, make fuss with them. Oh please grandma, please grandpa, help me.
03:47 Oh grandpa. And then after that, okay, he give in. So you’re not that giving in is not love.
03:55 That giving in actually is self seeking. You are conflict. These people may be concerned that the grandchild will not love the grandson or grand daughter will not love them.
04:05 If they don’t give and they give away. That is self seeking love. That is harming.
04:10 True love is you will do something even though people are condemning you. You will do something because it is the right thing. And you will say something because it’s the right thing.
04:21 Irrespective of how people view you, irrespective of how the grandson or granddaughter going to react to you. You will not do or give anything to the grandson or granddaughter which can harm them. But grandparents have forgotten this.
04:36 They for instance, many grandparents I know, they actually rather spoil the grandchild and then they end up turning the grandchild against the parents even. Why? Because they want this love of this child. They earlier when their own children they
don’t give.
04:55 They were strict and all that. And then the children grew up and they were doing well. But now when the grand that now they’re not working, they are actually plenty of time, no time, too much time on their hands.
05:07 And a lot of people have neglected them. Maybe because earlier they were looked in high esteem. They are working, they are doing business or whatever and the people are looked up to them or they got some self worth, like you know something, I’m
okay, I’m doing something.
05:23 They got some esteem like thing. And then what happened then is they in turn what happened brothers and sisters, they in turn now that their grandparents, their friends are gone or parents don’t care or the friends Also have their own difficulties.
What they then do? They sort of want to buy love, buy love from the grandchildren.
05:46 When they want to buy love from the grandchildren, they give away whatever the grandchild, grandson or granddaughter want. They give, they give, they give, they give. And then the parents say, no, no, no, cannot do this, cannot do that.
05:54 And then the grandchild, granddaughter, granddaughter, grandson will begin to now not like their father or mother. Because the father or mother correcting us here come to grandparents house. No correction, all hell let loose.
06:13 Anything can do. Freedom to the extreme that going to harm the child. Grow up and rebellious, go back home.
06:21 Oh, the parents are strict. And then the child grows up thinking the grandparent loves me. Because there is also foolishness in the heart of a child.
06:30 God says grandparents, my grandpa loves me, grandma loves me, because, you know, they give me things and all. And this is the same thing, you see. So when the parents begin to correct them difficult because the desire of the flesh of the child is so
great, like everybody else.
06:47 And now the grandparents are feeding that flesh. Go home. So the grandparents, God will hold them guilty of this nonsense, of this sin, terrible sin, because they will pass away earlier and go off.
07:01 Then the parents have to suffer with these children, isn’t they? The parents have to suffer with the children, brothers and sisters. Therefore, doing right and being right in the attitude and character of God, that is righteousness. Righteousness is
the righteousness of Christ comes upon us.
07:16 But now when the righteousness of Christ comes upon earth, we must be able to do the right thing. Now, if we are unable to do the right thing, either you are rejecting the righteousness of Christ, because the power of Christ has come into us to say
in the name of Jesus Christ, we can command our heart and mind to do the right thing. But if we do not renew the mind, the spirit, and do not change our heart by renewing the mind, then the heart and mind will still do the wrong thing.
07:44 You’re giving in to your heart. Obviously you’re not doing righteous things. Although the power has been given by suffering so much.
07:52 The power to give us was taken at a tremendous price. Suffering and then dying on the cross, going to hell, and then giving us power now over Satan, over our heart and over everything. But if we don’t use it, what happens? That means you’re
rejecting the power, the suffering, the sacrifice of Christ is being rejected.
08:13 Why? Because you want your own heart, faith. I’m talking about the grandparents. The grandparents own their own heart.
08:18 Oh, my grandchild, my grandchild. Do you think of the consequences of what your action is before you do anything, remember the child is belonging to the parent, not to the grandparents. The parent responsibility and duty and obligation and right to
bring up the child the way they believe, not the way the grandparents believe, unless the parents bring them up in sin or neglecting the children.
08:46 Now, brothers and sisters, this is very important. This is how grandparents mess up in the later days of their life, in the late stages of their life. So another aspect, righteousness, peace and joy.
09:00 You don’t have peace. Why? Because if you’re not doing. If I don’t do something that is in right, with God’s attitude and character, with the power Jesus Christ has given me, then my peace won’t be there.
09:11 When I don’t have peace, I have to check this. Am I doing something that is against God’s way? Am I doing something that I’m giving the devil a foothold? Because Jesus Christ wanders? Do not give the devil a foothold. Your enemy.
09:26 The devil walks about as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour, whom he may swallow. Your enemy means my enemy. Jesus saying your enemy.
09:37 He didn’t say it is his enemy. He has no enemies, cannot win. Too high, too far up, everything is under his feet.
09:45 He is a creator. And Lucifer, who then became Satan, is actually a created being. So no, no, no, nowhere near.
09:54 But he is our enemy. But Jesus given us power to overcome captivity. Captivity.
10:00 Our own hearts will capture us. Our heart captures us. And we do by the way our heart wants.
10:07 A lot of things are destroyed in our lives. Lot of things are destroyed in our lives. Brothers and sisters, today seek the kingdom of God and righteousness, which is righteousness, peace and joy.
10:16 That’s how you check. Am I in the kingdom of God? If not, anything will. Not anything we need won’t be added.
10:23 And worse still, the devil will start stealing, steal, kill and destroy. So always do the right thing, wherever it takes. Because even in the office, even the workplace, you want to do the right thing.
10:37 Yes, there will be fear in the heart. What will the boss do? What will the. Because as I mentioned this before, let’s say the boss wants you to fill up some forms in a manner that the loan that you are the accountant or something, or account staff
or accountant, or business analyst or whatever.
10:51 He wants you to fill something up in a manner that is not true at all, but it’s suitable for him to do something with it, with a better loan or not. You should not be able to do that because it’s a lie. You’re promoting a lie.
11:04 But if you’re afraid, then what is happening? Our heart is believing that your boss, your company is a provider, which is a big, big mistake and big, big false belief. Our provider is Jesus Christ of Nazareth. So you must now train your heart to
know who is your provider.
11:23 For the fear to go, your heart must completely know that Jesus Christ is a provider. When the challenge comes like this, yes, there will be fear, there will be confusion, there will be attack, what to do, there will be shaking and all. Then you
begin to worship.
11:37 You begin to cast out every wicked, unclean spirit that is trying to steal your peace, trying to make you do sin. And then when you begin to cast out everything and crying out to Jesus Christ and commanding your heart and mind to know Jesus, Jesus
is my provider. Jesus is my healer.
11:53 Jesus is. For instance, sometimes there no money. The doctors or whatever, the chemotherapy or whatever ask you so much of money.
12:00 People are even tempted to steal for their child, the child is sick or something. Tempted to steal, don’t do that, don’t do that. Because the world may say, ya ra, what to do, the child dying, you have to steal.
12:12 No, you must believe that the healer, Jesus Christ, he knows best. And if it’s not healed, then you know he knows best. Jesus Christ, that’s the thing that we must all come to the point.
12:24 Jesus Christ knows best. Not our mind, our heart, not the word, not our friends, not our parents, not our grandparents. Jesus Christ word, He is supreme.
12:35 He is sovereign over everything. So if the child is not really gone, then we know something we have done. We also sow, we reap, and even we cannot find anything that we have done.
12:46 We believe and love Jesus Christ all our heart, mindfulness, strength. Because the decision he allowed is the best. He allowed it.
12:55 It’s the best. It’s the best. It’s the best.
12:58 Now when you begin to command your heart and mind like that, your faith will begin to in Jesus. Then you will have peace. Then you will have peace.
13:06 Now if you allow the confusion to come, oh, why God did this, why Jesus did that? Why you will never have peace. And now what, rapper? Your health will go, you will struggle, you will become useless on earth. While you are pilgrim here doing the
will of God, you will become useless.
13:22 So, brothers and sisters, that is why the Catholic version, strive first for the kingdom, or first you must have righteousness, peace and joy. Now having said that, next thing is, do not give that which is holy to dogs. This is in Matthew 6.
13:38 Do not give which is holy to dogs. And do not throw your pearls before pigs for they will trample them under their feet and turn and tear you to pieces, brothers and sisters. That’s why when you’re witnessing, when you’re ministering, when you’re
talking about Jesus Christ, when you’re talking about the power of Jesus Christ, when you’re talking about the power of Christ, anyone knows, you must watch in the Spirit.
14:00 You must see in the Spirit. Now, do not give which is holy to dogs is to unbelievers. This is actually the people, you know this in the Jews, they call the dogs.
14:10 Those who do not belong to God, they call them dogs. It’s a reference. And even unbelievers.
14:15 The Gentiles also knew that. So that is why the Gentiles know that the Jews call use the word dogs means the unbelievers. Those who don’t recognize God, those who do not recognize God.
14:28 The Jews call them dogs. Now, brothers and sisters today, do not give that which is holy to talks means to unbelievers who are rejecting it. When you start talking and you find that they do not recognize God at all.
14:42 No, they are very ungodly, doing evil things and this and that. Do not be with the evil people. Evil.
14:48 I am not talking about people who are sinning or whatever. No evil doing. Really, really evil things do not go and do this because they do not recognize God.
14:57 But now then also then he said, do not throw your pearls before pigs, for they will trample them under their feet and turn and tear you to pieces. This is because when you go and talk about wonderful things of Christ, some people get angry. When
they get angry, stop, stop, brothers and sisters, stop.
15:16 And they get angry. Do not throw your pearls to pigs because lest they trample on them under their feet and turn and tear you to pieces. Or hear he says, for they will trample them under your feet, under their feet and turn and tear you to pieces.
15:30 Now you’ll be torn to pieces. So when you know, you must sense it in the spirit. When you’re ministering, you’re seeing in the Spirit.
15:37 What is the situation? What’s the spiritual climate there? If the spiritual climate is becoming evil, becoming angry, you please stop, excuse yourself and move away. Move away, go away. Because the command is clear.
15:52 Don’t stand there. I must convince them. I must convince them.
15:52 I must convince them about Jesus Christ. But the command is, do not throw your pearls before pit. Do not throw which is do not give what is holy to the.
16:03 The people don’t want God. They don’t want God. They will still they want their ways so do not get into this trouble.
16:11 Do not. Do not do this, brothers and sisters. Trample.
16:16 No. You. You harm yourself and then after you say God, Lord, why you allow it? Because we have what we sow, we reap.
16:23 He has given us a command and we don’t follow. We don’t follow his command and we can easily follow by blood of Jesus, blood of Jesus, blood of Jesus, name of Jesus, we can follow. Now if you do that, what will happen? You’ll be all right.
16:36 You will begin to move away. But if you don’t, that means his self will. You are now ministering with your own self will, which will only cause us trouble.
16:46 Which only caught you. CRF Tabber Brothers and sisters, today let’s follow the word of God by using the power of Christ. In Jesus Christ’s name I pray Amen.
