00:00 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Brothers and sisters, today the power of Christ Daily 29 February 2016 Ask and do unto others. The topic is ask and do unto others. Brothers and sisters, again today let’s remind ourselves, continually examine
ourselves whether we are right in the Lord or not right in the Lord.
00:20 Are we grieving the Holy Spirit? Are we pleasing Jesus Christ? Are we wanting to present our souls as chaste virgin bride unto Christ? These are critical questions because with that we have righteousness, peace and joy. The righteousness of Christ
comes upon us. The power to do the right thing also comes upon us from his blood and in his name.
00:42 We can do the right thing no matter what our flesh wants to command and dictate us like before. No, we are able to overcome why blood of Jesus Christ and name of Jesus Christ will overcome. Brothers and sisters, this is very important that the
presence of thinking about Christ, who is the husband of your soul.
01:02 Because finally, finally it may be 70, 80, 90, 100 years old, even 120 years old, even some people have lived or still living, one or two people in the world. But having said that, finally, it is still a short space of time on earth. Our bodies will
die, will die.
01:21 The bodies must die. Because the day we are born in a body, the body is already decaying. It’s aging from the day one.
01:30 It’s aging while it’s growing, also it’s aging. And then it begins to decline. Because finally we are a spirit being and we belong to God.
01:40 Those of us who rejected the world, rejected the ways of the world, and we want Jesus Christ and we want to be reconciled with Father God. And the reconciliation with Father God can only take place through the blood of Jesus Christ. Through Jesus
Christ.
01:57 No one goes to my Father except through me, full stop. So we have to go through him, not through anybody else. Whatever the teaching is, there’s nothing in the Scriptures to say, nothing in the Bible, any Bible reading, nothing there to say, you can
go through somebody else to Father God and the other thing, come unto me and I shall give you rest.
02:21 There’s nothing about he’s the only mediator, and there’s no one between him and us. If you go to him directly, there’s nothing in the Scriptures, nothing in the entire Bible, in any translation to say, you must go through somebody to go to Jesus.
He suffered and died on the cross and he loves you.
02:41 He is wanting to be the husband of your soul. But do you want to be your soul to be the bride of Jesus Christ, part of the bride of Jesus Christ. Because the bride of Jesus Christ is the entire church body of people who trust him, who believe in
him, who obey him, who made him the Lord and Savior, who want him to be the Lord and Savior, who submit to him.
03:04 Brothers and sisters, today, this is important. Keep reminding yourself this for yourself. You don’t go to a pastor or anybody, a priest or whatever.
03:11 You go direct to Jesus Christ. And then you cannot go to Father God through somebody else, except through Jesus Christ. Amen.
03:18 Now let’s look at the scripture. If anywhere you find anything else in scripture, in the Bible, please write to me. Please send me a WhatsApp or whatever, and I will try and explain this.
03:28 I’m not saying I know everything, because the Word of God says, if you think you know something, you do not know anything yet, as you ought to know. So even anything that I think I know, I know there will be some pockets of information that I may
not know, may not understand. So I humble myself because the word of God says, humble yourself, Jesus.
03:50 Command is to humble ourselves. To know that we don’t know everything but what we know. We apply.
03:55 We be doer of the Word, brothers and sisters. The other thing is, of course, if we think we are something, then I’m nothing. When I’m nothing, I deceive myself.
04:04 Actually, what are we, brothers and sisters? We are nothing. We are nothing. So, especially Peter, there are people.
04:12 You are in Christ, you are this, you are that. Jesus Christ says, you can do nothing apart from me, away from him, you can do nothing. But I do this.
04:22 I pass my exam that mercy is being shown. Because the Father God still pours rain even on the wicked. Therefore, it tells us to love even the people who are enemies, who persecute us, to bless them, to pray for them.
04:36 Brothers and sisters, today remember this. We cannot really do everything in the world. Everything that’s created was by Jesus Christ, through Jesus Christ, for Jesus Christ.
04:47 And everything is under his feet. Just because we cannot see it or cannot understand it, because we do not accept His Word. Jesus Christ says, we, if you do not understand me because you do not accept me, you do not understand my word because you
don’t accept my words.
05:05 So first you have to accept the Word. So now, here today, the two issues there. Ask and do unto others.
05:11 Now ask. Matthew 7, 7, 8. Ask and it will be given to you.
05:17 Search and you will find, knock and the door will open for you. For everyone who asks, receives, everyone who searches, finds. And for everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.
05:29 Now, this has caused a lot of Misunderstanding among Christians and false teachings have crept in which simply say ask anything, ask anything. Because they say ask it will be given unto you obviously. So they ask, ask all kinds of things and.
05:47 And then they don’t get it. They are upset, they fall away even from Christ. And people bring others to Christ telling them come, come, we ask, we ask and anything will be given.
05:58 Now there are a number of cases over the years I’ve seen one particular one I remember is one woman was suffering away because of loan sharks. She has borrowed loan. She was very well to do, successful business person until the devil came to steal,
kill and destroy.
06:17 And she was not of the. She didn’t know Christ that time. But finally when she’s struggling, Jesus Christ drew her and she came.
06:26 And then I counseled her. Look, you have to understand, admit that we make mistakes. I also messed up.
06:33 That’s how I myself got into loneshan before you know. So I know the problem. So before I came to God and now I have to borrow to pay salaries.
06:41 I have no money to pay salaries. And I’m still trying to keep the staff. And of course I’m not going to Jesus Christ.
06:47 So I’m trying to still keep staff, keep the workers and still pay them. And there’s no income. There’s an issue with some company which has stopped paying me.
06:56 They’re owing me. They broke the contract and they’re owing. And the amount owing was by the millions is an issue.
07:03 So finally I couldn’t pay these people. So instead of letting them go sound mind love. I was emotionally tied to the business because I started it and I didn’t have Christ.
07:13 So finally because I didn’t have Christ started eat. There was a tie, soul tie with the business. My soul was tied to the business.
07:20 So I don’t want to let stuff go. So I borrowed from loan shark to pay the salary. But how long will that last? And the interest started gathering.
07:28 It’s only Jesus got me out of all this, I’m telling you. But I repented. I was not asking, I did anything.
07:36 Lord, anything happens is okay. If I die, I die in you now. So I’m not bothered anymore.
07:41 If Jesus didn’t settle the loan business aak business I would. I would still follow him. Why? I already know I needed the peace.
07:48 I needed the peace. So now this sister dip comes follow her. She wants to follow, she accepts peace came.
07:57 And then the shouting and screaming. You cannot give po fader check because there’s no money there. No money coming.
08:05 So your truth. This is the truth. You obey the truth.
08:08 So there’s a phone, she kept it on. And we are hearing me, my wife and I hearing this double banging table and all. Then Jesus kept on holding on to Jesus Christ.
08:18 And the brother said okay and Suddenly left. After 15, 20 minutes, half an hour suddenly left. Then she could grow again in faith.
08:26 And she knew Jesus intervened. But what then happened? Then after a while she disappeared. Then a few months later she came back to see me again.
08:36 She said she is now in a mess. I said what happens? You disobeyed and all. There was another church down the two blocks away or whatever.
08:43 So there was a church two blocks away. She has gone there. And some woman there supposed to be prayer warriors.
08:50 Something has told her, no, trust in Jesus Christ, trust and give the posted a check. Remember this, give the post credit check. There’s no money in the account.
09:00 It’s a false suit, it’s a lie, it’s sin against Christ, all that. But no, they’re teaching that give the post credit check because Jesus loves you. Miraculously, some money will come within from now to the date of the postherage check.
09:13 Finally that one didn’t work. And the fella very angry, that loan shark fella. Then only the sister learned that this is false teaching.
09:22 So brothers and sisters, there are many people teaching false things and they bring people to Christ telling them, oh, you can do anything wrong, Ask anything, Ask and then do anything. Like you know, because now you are a child of God, you get into
a bigger mess. But when we tell them the truth first, because the heart is breaking with all these problems, they rather hear that other sweet false promise.
09:49 It’s a false promise. Now this ask. Because they’ll use the scripture, ask anything, it will be given to you.
09:56 Ask and they’ll add the word anything. Ask it will be given to you. Ask it.
10:00 They put the scripture this way, that way. Actually very simple. It did.
10:05 The whole precept of Christ must be understood. Jesus is the truth. So you cannot do any lie, cannot say any lie and expect it to be given for you.
10:17 Because even Jesus, the word of God says if you spread the gospel with a lie, you will still be judged a sinner. Because of Paul says this, if you spread the gospel with a lie, you will be judged a sinner. You go and search even the Internet if you
spread the gospel with a lie and judge a sinner.
10:35 So you get some scriptures. So you read the scriptures. Now it’s true.
10:39 Now I’ve addressed this before in some of the segments morning segment. Now let’s Remember this two book of James says, you do not receive because you ask amiss. You ask amiss means you ask away from the precept of Christ, you ask away from the will
of God.
10:59 You ask for your own will, you won’t get it. You ask for your own will. You’re not asking in the will of God.
11:06 Whatever we ask must be within the will of God. Ask anything that is in his will and be done unto you. And then they decide to teach people, ask and ask and ask.
11:16 Because they use this example of the woman who has gone to the judge. The judge refused to keep on going to the judge. Now until the judge cannot take it.
11:24 Oh, this is a difficult woman. I better give her what she wants. So they use that scripture to say they are asking amiss, they are asking amiss.
11:31 But keep on asking and asking and asking and asking and asking. And people get into prayer, prayer. So whole day, whole time their life is caught in asking the thing that their heart has desired.
11:45 God already told us our hearts are treacherously wicked, desperately wicked. Do not follow our heart for what they are doing. Ask whatever you desire.
11:55 Ask what? Then there’s another thing they say, ask whatever you desire, give unto you. They read the scripture wrongly. Again, the scripture said ask and God will give the desires of your heart.
12:09 They decided that whatever desire is in your heart, God will give. No, the actual translation is when you ask God, he will put his desire in his heart. His desire will be put in our heart also.
12:22 So now I will walk in his desire. So ask and he will give you. The desires of your heart means not whatever is in your heart and you just desire.
12:31 If our hearts are treacherously wicked, why would he give what our treacherously wicked heart wants? He will put into our hearts the desire of Father God for us. What desire of Jesus Christ for us. He will put that into our heart and our life will
become easy.
12:47 Why? Our heart will be desiring that good thing only and so you can obey. There’s no conflict. You’re not struggling this way and that way because you want to follow the will of God.
12:57 Your heart is desiring something else on and on. So remember this, our hearts are desperately wicked. Now ask and ask.
13:05 Lord, put your desires into me, Lord. Into my heart, Lord. Into my soul, Lord, in Jesus name I pray and you keep praying that.
13:12 So until the heart becomes changed according to the desire of Jesus Christ. So the other again is ask amiss. If I say you do not receive, that is why you are warring and fighting against each other.
13:24 He is saying in James, James 4. So look, brothers and sisters, it’s a very critical thing, the asking business. Asking, ask a miss, finish.
13:33 You won’t receive. And people lock themselves in. You bring another person and they’re coming to Christ to receive.
13:40 Yes, they’re desperate. I don’t want to cry, desperation, to retreat. I just wanted to be healed and peace, peace and healing.
13:48 Because I cannot. I’m lying. But.
13:51 So that’s a desire. That is the will of God to heal anyone comes to him. That’s the will of God to receive peace, righteousness and joy through him.
14:00 But if you’re going there to ask not for your soul to be changed, not for your soul to become a follower of Christ, you’re going there to ask. Before all this, you just want the bank thing settled, or you want the loan thing settled, or you want the
house thing settled. You want something settled.
14:16 It’s nothing about you settling with Christ, the son of the living God. You go there, settle with Christ, you’re a sinner. You have to go to Jesus Christ and confess.
14:30 I’m a sinner. I’ve sinned against you, sinned against man, sinned against my wife and my kids, sinned against a lot of people. And I want peace.
14:38 And only he can wash away the sin and give me the peace. That is why they asking. People will love these people.
14:45 And then after that, the prayers will go on, you know, hour after hours, asking, asking, asking. And then people fall away and they won’t tell you about that. These churches will keep on praying, asking, asking, asking, asking, and deliberately
telling people of the asking business, not telling them.
15:02 Look, you desire to be the bride of Christ. You desire to righteousness, peace and joy. And all these things will be added.
15:11 What will be added? Every of your needs will be added. Seek ye the kingdom of God and righteousness first and all these things will be added. Now, instead of teaching them that and making them get there, they say, ask what you need.
15:24 Put the list and start asking, asking. First, seek ye the kingdom first, you know, first. First seek the kingdom of God and his righteousness first.
15:33 And all these things you need to be added. And you live in righteousness, peace and joy. You’ll have a great life, brothers and sisters.
15:40 I know, it happened to me. I was a blasphemer. I used four letter words on Jesus Christ.
15:46 And still he gave me the righteousness, peace and joy. What a loving God. Go to Jesus because he is Jesus who can become the husband of your soul.
15:56 He wants to be. You go to Jesus because you want to act right now. You want to obey him and you want to become salt and light in this world to be his ambassador, to be a holy priest unto Christ, to be a light that shines that people can be made to
be reconciled with Father God.
16:14 People can be able to be overcome from their sins, can be set free from their bondages and their curses. Set him free. Set the captive free.
16:24 Desire that, desire that and begin to walk in Jesus Christ. And you see step by step all your needs will always be added and settled. Settled how? Only he, only he knows how He.
16:39 In fact this was how I asked him years ago and he showed me a scripture. Just like the farmer plants and it grows, the farmer doesn’t know, he just plants and forgets about it. Brothers he said today trust Jesus Christ, trust Jesus Christ.
16:54 Cling on to Jesus Christ. In Jesus name I pray Amen.
