00:00 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Brothers and sisters, today the power of Christ Daily, 13 March 2016, a Sunday titled Feed my sheep and teach Christians to obey. Feed my sheep and teach Christians to Obey. Brothers and sisters, Feed my sheep is in
John 21:15 16.
00:20 Again, let’s understand this. Let’s examine ourselves daily. Yesterday we dealt with watch and pray, watch and pray.
00:28 Watch and pray that we do not fall into temptation. Do not go into temptation. Therefore, the watch and pray is critical.
00:33 Examine. Examine what your heart is desiring, whether it is in line with the word of God. This is where our problem is.
00:40 Of course, we have an enemy. Your enemy, the devil walks about as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour or swallow. That is Jesus Christ himself told us now, the husband of our child telling us, watch your enemy.
00:57 Be vigilant. Do not give him a foothold. Your enemy is Satan.
01:01 Now, this is hidden. Now, therefore, now we must watch that. Because without that, the devil will come and tempt our heart.
01:10 Our heart already is wicked and it will be drawn by the heart desire. The devil will come. Temptation.
01:16 Now, temptation can’t come until we are drawn by our own heart desire. Our heart desire must now be changed by renewing in the spirit of our minds, by renewing the spirit of minds with the word of God so that our heart will change in line with God’s
heart, what God wants us to want and feel. Brothers, that’s a trick.
01:38 That’s the issue. Renewing the spirit of our mind by looking at the word of God and meditating on the word of God. And then the heart will change.
01:46 And then that is repentance. Repentance is having a new way of thinking, the way that Jesus wants us to think, the way Father God wants us to think. And that has to be renewed in the spirit of your mind.
01:57 Jesus says. And now when we do that, and let’s do that, we have to examine ourselves and watch the word of God. Watch the word of God now.
02:06 Next thing. Now, today we’re dealing with feed my sheep. He says, these are part of the fifty commandments of Jesus Christ.
02:13 We may or may not complete all, but we have done a lot. And even if this, we just do some of these, our hearts will change, our minds will change, our heart will. We will become the children of God and we’ll be pleasing to Jesus Christ.
02:26 We will be pleasing and the Holy Spirit will take over and bring you to glory. To glory. It is not a question of doing some of the religious activities.
02:31 It is not going to settle you you have to get into the spirit, because we are spirit being. Father, God is spirit and worship him in spirit and in truth. The devil is a spirit being.
02:46 Now we have to battle in the spirit. Brothers and sisters, in John 21:15. So when they had finished breakfast, now Jesus remember, Jesus made breakfast for them.
02:59 Can you imagine? Jesus said to Simon, Simon, son of John or son of John. They may say, son of John, do you love me more than these others do? With total commitment and devotion. They also love.
03:17 Then he saying, the others love me also. But do you love me more than this? That is what Jesus asking Peter, Simon. At the time, his name was Simon, Simon Peter, do you love me more than this? More than all these others who love me? He said, yes,
Lord, you know that I love you.
03:38 With a deep personal affection. As for a close friend, that’s the bracket. The explanation in amplified.
03:44 Jesus said to him, feed my sheep. So I’ll read this without the explanation. Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me more than this? Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.
03:56 Now he’s humble now. He didn’t say, I love you more than this. He didn’t say, I love you more than the others.
04:02 He said, lord, you know that I love you. He’s humble already. Why? Remember before the cock crows thrice, before the cock crows, he denied him three times.
04:11 And that time he came out of pride. Earlier he said, no, I will not deny you. And this and that.
04:17 Jesus said, look here, before the cockroach, you will deny me three times. And it happened. And it broke him.
04:21 It broke Peter. When he denied him three times, Jesus looked at him. And he looked at Jesus at that time, and it broke him.
04:31 It broke his heart. And then he became humble. That’s why when Jesus said, do you love me more than this? His answer, yes, Lord, you know that I love you.
04:40 His answer didn’t say, I love you more than this. Yes, Lord, I love you more than this. No, he’s humble.
04:45 Now. Humbleness is a great issue. We must be humble in our thinking, humble way.
04:51 Humbleness of the mind. We have to become humble in the mind. First, the mind has to make our minds humble.
04:58 Our thinking has to be humble. Otherwise it’s false humility. Hello, brother.
05:03 Good morning, brother. How are you, brother? Not bothering anything. It’s just cliches.
05:08 It’s just a list of words coming out, you know, oh, God will bless you. Jesus bless you, brother. Jesus bless you, sister.
05:16 All these cliches. It has to start with the humbleness of the mind. It has to start in the mind.
05:23 Be renewed in the spirit of your mind. That is why there are books written on the battlefields in the mind. Because the devil goes for the mind first.
05:31 When the devil can catch your way of thinking. He caught you. How do I know this? It is of course, God says, be renewed in the spirit of your mind.
05:39 That’s how you know that. But I now know in the experience, because it happened to me before. My mind was caught by the world and the thinking and the science and everything else, and the physics and the chemistry and the nuclear science or
whatever.
05:51 And the thinking. Thinking more than others. What a pride.
05:56 Pride, Pride. That was what My mind was full of it. When my mind was full of it, my heart also will become pride.
06:03 You won’t know it. So the humbleness in the mind is critical. Be renewed in the spirit of your mind.
06:10 That’s why there is a fantastic statement here. Jesus asked him, simon, Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me more than this? He said to him, yes, Lord, you know that I love you. What a thing.
06:22 The man, the apostle now has become humble. He is still a disciple there. Has become humble.
06:30 He was different before. While he was a disciple, he also had a lot of pride. But now he is humbled.
06:38 The humbleness comes when we fell into sin and we returned. When we fall into sin and run away, humbleness won’t come. That’s pride.
06:47 When you run away. When you fall into sin and you don’t want to go to Jesus, you just run away. Oh, I don’t know.
06:52 And then deny and don’t know. Deny. By denying that you don’t sin, you’re actually denying Christ.
06:58 Why? Jesus said, all have fallen short of the glory of sin. Then all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. And now when you sin.
07:05 No, no, I’m okay. I’m okay. I’m okay.
07:07 What? You’re denying Christ because Christ says something else. You say something else, then you’re denying Christ. So if you do something and say something and think something, particularly think something opposite to the word of God.
07:21 You are denying Christ because Christ says A, you say, no, it is minus A or B or something else. You are denying Christ because you are denying what he said. You are denying Christ.
07:33 Brothers and sisters, when you fall into sin, the conviction comes. Run to Christ. Run to Jesus.
07:40 Sorry, Lord Jesus. Humble yourself and admit. Confess your sin.
07:46 There are false teachers teaching you to confess. Once when you came to Jesus Christ. Thereafter, nothing to confess anymore.
07:53 He is forgiven, giving you automatically washing you of all sin. Look, there Are sins we may not know that obviously he shows mercy and grace. But the sins that we know, we better confess.
08:06 Because even says confess your sins to one another. Confessing is not going to one confession and saying once a week or once a Sunday or once a month, or once on Christmas or once it’s thereabouts, Easter or thereabouts. That’s not it.
08:21 It’s an ongoing thing. Because you’re washing. We are washing the dirt out of us on a regular basis.
08:28 Confessing. He didn’t say, go to one man, confess yourselves sins to one another, to one another, not to a particular chap, not to a particular pastor or priest or whatever. Confessing to one another openly.
08:42 Why that is humbleness. Jesus wants us to be humble. Without humbleness in the mind, without humbleness in the heart, we cannot be really redeemed.
08:53 Because humbleness is fundamental in following Christ. Humbleness of the mind. Do you love me more than thee, son of Jonah Simon? Yes, Lord.
09:05 You know that I love you. Humble, humble. Always check here.
09:11 This is a good check. Whatever you speak, whatever you say, is it humble? Now the words may be humble. Are you humble in the heart? Are you humble in your thinking? You can say a lot of good Christian like words, but your mind may be thinking you’re
better than the others.
09:29 That is why there’s another word of God which says, think yourself. Think others more highly than yourself. Think others more highly themselves.
09:39 I had to use that because before I came to the Lord I used to think of myself very highly. Very highly. And particularly when people cannot understand the things I could understand.
09:50 Finish. In fact I begin to think the stupid evil, all that has cost me so much of damage. Pride.
09:58 Pride is from Satan. So I was full of it. Full of pride in the mind.
10:03 First my mind was full of pride. And then after my heart will think, these people do not know what I am talking about. This is a complicated thing.
10:10 They don’t want to understand, but they want to talk as if they understand. They are stupid people. They don’t want to understand one thing, want to talk as if they understand.
10:18 What rubbish is that? Now my heart will rise up. That was what I was before Christ. Then when I came to God Almighty, when he arrested me, then I could see my mind was full of pride.
10:30 First of all, my mind was full of pride against Christ. My mind was full of pride, was not humble at all, was full of pride against Christ. How was I against Christ? Against his word, against his word.
10:46 For instance, his word will say, those who want to be the highest have to be the lowest first. Those who want to be the highest in heaven must be the lowest first. And even here, if you humble yourself, Jesus will raise you up here and you will have
a great life.
11:02 But if you put yourself in pride and argument, quarrel, everything will come and you will not know the things of Christ. You will not know the spiritual things, because it will. Your pride is killing you.
11:14 My pride was killing me. And the pride is a big doorway. Jesus Christ says, do not give the devil a foothold.
11:22 But pride is a big opening, big opening. The avala comes in, he comes in and waxes. Because why pride is a big opening.
11:32 Pride is a really big opening for Satan to come. Because the first sin in all of eternity was pride. Satan had pride first he was Lucifer, Lucifer had pride.
11:46 And then when he was cast out, he had to become turned to Satan. Because separated from God Almighty, separated from the source of life. So Satan had pride.
11:59 Pride, pride. That’s what killing all of us. Better understand this.
12:04 The whole world that is suffering is full of pride. They may put on fault. There are a lot of Christians, I see this very soft, gentle like.
12:13 But inside their mind and heart full of pride. When they are dealing with the poor. When they are dealing with the poor, what you call patronize them, for instance, they will be poor in the church and they patronize the poor.
12:29 How are you, brother? How are you, sister? But they patronizing, they don’t feel anything there. They think, okay, Jesus said, take care of the poor, so I am blessed. I have blessed, so I will take care of the poor.
12:39 That’s a prideful heart. You humble yourself and think more highly of the fellow in front of you who is poor. Humble yourself, think more highly of him.
12:49 Ah, that can you do, you can do in the name of Jesus Christ. I had to learn to do that. When people come to me, people cannot understand anything.
12:59 But they are suffering. God Almighty. Because I told him, lord, I want your mind.
13:03 I don’t want my mind anymore. That was a covenant. Now, when I first came, within one, two weeks, a few weeks already I decided this.
13:10 I already realized it’s my mind who’ve done all this nonsense. And my mind, it’s my mind, not me. My mind.
13:17 Spirit being is child of God. And told Jesus, I don’t have mind. Lord, Holy Spirit, in the name of Jesus Christ, make my mind like mind of Christ.
13:28 Not my old mind anymore, not my carnal mind, not a fallen nature mind. In the name of Jesus Christ, I ask you, Holy Spirit, make it that kind of prayer. You can say you can say, but remember when you say it, the mind of Christ will come.
13:41 When the mind of Christ comes, then you have to obey. Next step is, oh, I got the mind of Christ. What do you do with the mind of Christ? Obey, obey, obey, obey.
13:51 That is why the next segment here is teach Christians to obey, brothers and sisters, the mind. So when you’re looking at people, think more highly of them. There are people who really don’t know any scripture or harm.
14:04 Ridiculous scripture misunderstanding come. They’ll come from Jesus. False teachings and then put on a prideful show here and talk to others as if they know in front of me.
14:13 They’ll keep quiet. When they go into groups to discuss. Oh, they take control.
14:18 They can’t even cast out evil spirits. And the pride will be rising out of them. I’ve seen so many.
14:24 The pride will be coming out of them, oozing out of them. Brothers and sisters. Pride in the mind.
14:30 Pride of the mind. Humble the mind in Jesus Christ’s name. You can do it.
14:30 Pride of the heart. Patronizing people. Hello, how are you, brother? All patronize truth.
14:40 You worship and love Jesus Christ. In truth. You love one another.
14:45 In truth. From a pure, sincere love. From a pure heart.
14:49 Jesus says, love everyone with a sincere heart. From a sincere love. From a pure heart.
14:56 Sincere love from a pure heart. Sincere love from a pure heart. The love has to be sincere.
15:01 Love has to be sincere. Brothers and sisters, this is very important. Check yourself today.
15:06 Check yourself anytime. Are you a child of God? How is your mind? Is your mind prideful? Is your mind prideful? Or is your mind humble? Or are you able to recognize? Hey, I’m thinking proudly. I’m thinking opposite to the word of Jesus Christ.
15:20 I’m opposite to the word of God. My mind is thinking proudly. Am I? Am I? Oh, yes, yes.
15:28 Sorry, Lord. Sorry, Lord. Merciful.
15:30 It says, spirit of pride, get out of the name of Jesus Christ. Get out of me. Spirit of pride.
15:34 Get out and not to return. I receive humbleness. I receive a spirit of humbleness.
15:39 Make me humble, Lord Jesus Christ, make me humble. I want to be yours. I want to please you.
15:41 I want to not grieve you anymore. Make me humble of mind. Make me humble of heart.
15:48 You begin to pray like that, brothers and sisters, that is why. Matthew 28:20, teaching them to observe everything I have commanded you. And lo, I am with you always, regardless of circumstance and on every occasion, even to the end of the age,
remaining with you perpetually teaching them to obey everything.
16:07 That’s a command for each of the disciples. To teach others. Feed my sheep means feed my sheep.
16:13 God said, if you love me, feed my sheep. Now we have to teach others what we know. Teach others to obey everything.
16:19 There are false teachings. They say, no, no, no. If you forgot to obey or didn’t obey, it’s okay.
16:23 He will overlook that because he loves you. He died for you. He died for you.
16:27 Even though you do anything, ya Allah, when you come to him, he accepts you because you didn’t know Him. Now that you know him, now you want to follow him. If you really want to be a disciple, you want to be a Christian, obey everything he commanded
you.
16:41 Willing to obey. Willing to obey everything. Once you’re willing to obey everything step by step, he will make it obey.
16:47 He will make you obey in Jesus name. I know this. You can do this.
16:51 Brothers, sisters. You have to do this to please Jesus Christ of Nazareth. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, command every heart to obey Jesus.
17:00 And that is what loving Jesus is. Loving Jesus is obeying his commandments. Amen.
