09. You Are Predestined To Perform Certain Good Works

Welcome to track #9 of predestination. Wonderful. Did you enjoy People need the Lord? They want more, More films. Hallelujah. How many? I've realized that people need the Lord. People need Jesus and they need the Lord. Amen. So that is people need the Lord, we shall be watching more films, Amen. All right, right, predestination. How many are going to help us to go to the people who need the Lord, huh? What do you think? Is it powerful? It's powerful. How many want to be involved in healing Jesus crusade to win more people to the Lord. Amen. It's a powerful and important ministry. What do you learn when you watch such films? There's so much work to be done, isn't it? Yeah. It involves a lot different places. That is evangelism. You have to go. It's not about you've written a book, You have to go there. Wherever there is, you must be there. You get it. Yeah. So it's a blessing. Amen. All right. You are predestined to perform certain good works. Amen. Ephesians chapter 2 verse 10. For we are his workmanship created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, so that we should walk in them. Amen. We are his workmanship created in Christ Jesus for good works which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them. We are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, good works which God Christ beforehand ordained, predestined that we should work in them. No, that's why He made you. It's not. It's not eating, it's not drinking, it's not roaring, it's not looking after children, it's not all these. These are the works assigned to the animal Kingdom. But you created in the image of God, washed by the blood of Jesus. I can't tell you something else. I will be lying to you. I can't. I can't lower the mark. That's because I want you to like me. Oh, I want you to give an offering. No, This is why you were great passer pain you you were not created to be a lawyer. You were created. You were created in Christ Jesus for some good works. That the real reason why you were created because we can't understand why you are here. Because we all know that you're going to die and we all know that your life is going to be just like anybody elses life. You are born here, you died here, you ate, you drank, you roared, you looked after children. Appel he doesn't roar. Doesn't he Raw? Everybody raws. Roy is breathing. Listen. This cannot be why you were. Created then what's? The difference? Between you and the antelopes. That's the difference between you and the. Antelopes, the lions, the leopards, the dogs, all the reason. Why you are going to work is to get money to feed yourself, to build a little place to stay in and so on. There's more. There must be more. I'm trying to inform you of how special as you are you are not just born that I'm coming to do these four things that the whole creation does. You see, that's why when I show you some of these things, I'm trying to give you a glimpse of the kind of vastness of work that lies before. Us, not just me. If you think healing Jesus will say where do we buy the cars from? How do we get money to buy the cars? I don't. I don't have a job. I don't have any job. The job I have is what I'm doing, and I don't make cars and I don't have any relative who makes cars. I am doing what I'm doing with you. I'm doing it with you. Me and you, we are together, yes. There is no way that I can claim that I'm doing these things on my own. I'm doing it with the support of all those who are supporting. There is I cannot, I can never. I may want to say of course, I mean I'll prefer to say I don't need you, you feel better, but I need you. I mean how can I say I don't, I need you? That's the truth. So I'm showing you so that God will touch your heart and you will become interested, to become involved. How many feel that you are becoming interested or you are already interested to give yourself, your husbands, your wives, your children, your time, your money, and then the the human being? Could you do you see why I wanted you to come and do this work? Can you understand why? Because in the Bible it tells us why you were created. I'm very sure that you were not created unto medicine. I'm sure at that. I'm sure about that. I can read in my back. I can read. It's in English. Yeah. His workmanship created his gracias unto good works. Well, somebody may say, but it's a good work. Dear friend, in the Bible when we talk of good works and the works and say that your works do follow you, we are not talking about carpentry. When Jesus said I must work the works of him that sent me, he was not talking about carpentry. He has stopped carpentry. When he said I must be about my father's business, he was telling his elderly father, who had given him carpentry job, that he must be. About a business. His father's business, so the works. That God has. Ordained Of course it's possible that God has ordained you to whatever, but I can tell you that tend to revelation chapter 2 verse one on the screen. There's 2 I know thy wax and thy labor, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them, which I even has tried. And we say the apostles, and I'm not, and has found them to be liars. Verse 3 and has born and has patience and for my. Namesake has labored. And has not fainted. This is not legal work. Verse 4. Nevertheless, I have somewhat against it, because thou has left thy first love. These works. Whereas I know there's not medical work, it's not secretarial work, it's not painting, it's not carpentry. Read verse 2 again. He says, I know thy wax thy labor, I labor thy patience. How thou canst not bear them which are evil it's not carpentry, it's not medicine you may want it to be medicine but you see let's let's let's stop we are going to stand before God God is going to ask us questions so the more. You argue arguing. Jesus said we are not of them that justify themselves. We are not justifying ourselves. Don't want to justify yourself before yourself. Remember that you are going to stand before God and you just answer the questions plainly. You can use technicalities for me, but in heaven there's no such technicality. You will be bereft and naked. So we should. We should rather now. Sort ourselves out. And find out what are these work that God has ordained me to work in and. All of us. Oh. You see what I'm preaching, I mean. All all all. Of you. You must. You must work for you must work for God. The passers in the front will stand up. All of you in the front will stand up. Look carefully at them. Many of them cut their hair because either one of two reasons, either it is getting finished or it's getting grey. Sometimes they even diet. They are all getting older a younger. Group will be needed to preach. You see, my children are in university, one of my sons is in second year and the other one is in first year university. They are a completely different generation from us, a good 20 years younger. So there's a whole lot of people down there and there's a new generation that has to also work. So all. Of us here. We are going to have to get. Involved in the work because, oh, there there are pastors who all these ones. No, there are things that we have to do. Amen. It's nice to have all of you, but I tell you, there's so much work to be done. I'll show you a film called. There's so much work to be Done. So much. Work to be done. And you look at this, look at. This one, the woman sang it. People need the Lord, people need the film. There's no talking in the film by when you're watching yourself can. Understand what is happening. How many could understand what is going on that people are needing the Lord? All of us are needed in this world. You see, sit down. Many years ago when we were studying our church, I came to America. I remember Doctor Nosh picked me with his 2 door car. He had a car which has only two doors, small Toyota or something more like that. Nissan and then he. Took me from JFK. I've never. Been to America before. That's the first time I came to America. I've never been here before. He took. Me picked me from JFK, is it JFK? Yeah. Then he brought me to New Jersey. I've never been to America before. I was. Looking at the whole place and say, hey, and I was talking, I was, I say, you know, we want to start a church here. You would think there's no need of a church. You would think there is no need of a church every time you're about to. Get involved in this work, you will look as if there is no need of this thing. He's the greatest deception. Every time you're supposed to get involved in the way you look at what is. Ahead and it looks. Successful and it looks. Established so you tell yourself I'm not needed. When I started doing crusades I sent my people to the Crusades to banana banquets crusade when they when the people told me said oh we are expecting you to take over. I said what? What do them said oh they know about us and that. Yeah expecting that. Ron Ronke is 70 and he's tired and I don't know whether he's so well. And recently we I checked not knowing that many of his place. He himself doesn't preach. No. Yeah, somebody else is preaching. Yeah, I tell you when we were. Starting you see the established. Ministries, it will always minister to you that there is. You are not needed in this world. When you see how successful, how advanced people are, you always rule yourself out. But that is a lie of the devil. You are needed. You are needed in this work. You are needed in this world. I'm telling you, you are needed. Ladies are needed. More ladies are needed as pastors. If they will not, and young people if they will not make you. Pastors, in any church, I will make you a power, then you. I will do everything I will. Make you a pastor. I will. Then I will. Give you a caller. And make you a general, but you tell. Cross anything. You want I will give you so that you can do something. I will do it and children make children pastors. It's true, my friend. If you sit there thinking that the work that has to be done has been done, you are you are deceiving yourself so that you sit doing nothing every. Single one of us has. Been ordained to. Particular good works. Supposing I was to sit back and say I'm not called, there'll be no Lighthouse Chapel International Me. This ministry that I've been in, people have mocked me. Does he have power? She called. That has always been the question. That has always been the question whether I'm called. Whether I'm called, This has been the main question, whether I'm called. That's why I always encourage people and they said of me, I'll encourage you, I'll defend you defend. Even if Gwen Sin, I'll defend you, I'll defend. What's do I priest? I passed. I would defend you. I'll fight. For you, because few people after all these you see just a few. Will say here I am, I am, that's true. So sometimes when one person comes and you see that even he has a problem. You see that look? Even though he has a. Problem you realize. That he has tried, he's trying and something that people don't even. Want to make an effort? He's. Trying. He's falling. All the time I. Have some passes, they are always falling, always. When they take one step, look down, one step down, one step down. And there are you see in the natural we have me, there are some people with dislocating, weak patellas and so on. When they take one step, no, they are down. They go one step, no, they are down. Will you cut? Will you? Will you cut off the leg? Will you kill the person? No, you take challenge. Look, try, try, or let us give you a pastoral job that you stand in one place without having to walk so that you don't. Fall at the next step. I tell you, it's not easy to get a. Pastor, it's not easy to get just one person who is ready to work for the Lord. I will encourage you. I will fight for when you are in it. I will defend you and the person will meet me first before he meets you. Yeah, I will meet you. 1st. Before you come and meet the person and I let someone on this thing from the. Catholic Church say once a priest, always a priest, once a priest. They will never leave you. Forever, no matter what. Are you listening? Yeah, So what I'm trying to explain to you is that God go back to Ephesians 210 has good works preaching Emma for you to do. That's why you are still here. You. Have you have things to do? So we just got to focus on those things and do them. Fred, you get it. There's things to be done. We've got to do them. If you are here, there's things to be done. You get it. That's why you are not an animal. Do you have? Sex answer answer my question if you don't show me signs. Look, what type of Christians do you have here? Who is her pastor? You just got my So what? I said. Do you have sex, yes or no? Yes. Do you eat? You bath. Just like crocodiles bath in the river. You bath, you eat, you drink. Do you? Think you are higher than an animal? Do you think you are higher than an animal? Do you think she's higher than an animal? There's something above these human things. I'm telling you, I promise you, where you get to. Heaven. You see what I said is. True, I'm telling you to happen. It will happen. There's something above. It it is true, it will happen. You will see there's something above these four things, having children, following children running after this, this trying to build beds have nests, foxes have holes is the same house we are trying to build is what the fox have built and what the bed has built. These are the same things. It's accommodation, I tell you. Hyenas have got whose they give birth underground dogs, wild dogs, it's the same thing. There is something. About finding a house. That's why Solomon, he worked on it. He said, look, everything is useless. Everything. I have done is useless. Under the sun it's useless. But when you work for God, it's not under the sun. It is beyond the sun. It's beyond the sun. Amen. Tell your neighbor Could it be that you are feeling sleepy at such a moment I. Mean could it be? Shut the bed and say it's not possible. It's not possible. Look. At your age. You don't have to feel sleepy at this time. One day I was invited. To preach at the. Pastors conference of an Orthodox Church and I was supposed to preach in the morning and I asked them could I, could you change my slots to the evening? Do you know what the pastor told me? He said that unlike your church, most of our pastors are over. 50 So in the. Evening they sleep. I was surprised, he said. I like your church, but most of the people are young. Our church, most of them are about 50, so they sleep in the evening. We see, oh, everybody is sleeping. Tell your neighbor at your. Age. You must be awake at this time at your age. Hey, man. Oh, Are you ready to do the? Good work for which you were created in this or you? Sit down in the way you don't do the good. Works, which you came here to do. I wasted your time. Go to. School you go to. School. You go to school, you go to school. The good works is there, the good words said no. One day God will send someone, OK, finish the person, let's come. And the good words are there plenty sitting there you didn't do. Every time they say you are coming up with reasons, reasons upon reasons. Upon reasons for the. Whole of your life you have. Reasons you are not. This. You don't have. This. You don't. This, this, that, that, that, that, that. You don't know this. But what you want to do, you are able to do it. So, my dear friend, and my brother and my sister, could it be? Could it be? All right. But I think that these good works, now, it's not all good works. You're supposed to do some particular good works. It's true. That's why the Lord has spoken. That's why I said I'm a lay photographer. That's why I say I'm a lay builder. I'm a lay musician. Lay economies, all those things are lay is not my main work. I don't give myself to them, I do them in their spare hobby time. But what are you supposed to do? There are some of you here. Your your calling is to finance me. It's true. I haven't told you before. So your calling is to finance me. You don't do much of that. You have made yourself a commoner. You have made yourself. Like as if your. Income is like a student's income. It's true. Meanwhile, you're 1 of. The only people that can do that. Yeah, I tell you, and you make. Yourself as. Oh, with the masses, this is what we can do. You don't want to do. Every single offering that. We take care. Some of you could have given $100 each time, but you don't. You sit back and so let me just get $10. As for this work that we are doing, it's only that we look towards God. Otherwise, like Jesus said, the price for which I was. Priced 30 pieces of. Silver, that's the value that was placed on me when they were valuing me, my contribution, they were 30 pieces of silver. So I want to say if that is your calling, oh, God has anointed you and bless you, better rise up to your your work because no one knows the day that it will all be over. As for me, I'm working as if I'm dying tomorrow morning. Oh, yeah, just a few. What do you call it? A go? I had a edge. Anything I. Have and or. I'm checking everything to see whether I've thrown everything into. The work that I'm doing, I tell you as you see me, I don't have any business. I don't have. I could do business, I could do things, and I don't have any such thing. I don't have any money, any venture. Yeah. And I don't want it. I don't want anything. I don't even want to die. When I die, I have nothing. Anything that I have, I have to. Share. God will give me the chance like Abraham, I'll share everything this you take all that I don't need when I'm dead. I've told them they should find a web board from one of the sites of. Search for any aspect I can deploy. That this is it for my. Last, my best. That's me. I've seen it, I tell you. I've seen it pray one day out. Nobody expects to die, nobody expects to go out. Everybody you just distant. But it's the most sure event of your whole life. The day you were born, the day you die. You may never, you may never marry. Marriage is one of the four things that leopards do. And even it's not love that makes people mad. Philosophers have come to find out that what it is that draws boys and girls together, they have. They should not call it love, but they should call it limerance. Yeah, limerance. It's a word. This is what brings animals together. Otherwise we will never meet. I don't want to go into all that now. Are you listening? So my friend, whatever it is, and some of you, if you are supposed to be in full time ministry, what are you doing here? What are you doing? Here. What are you doing on this earth here? Let. Me cry, fear for you. I don't want to. I don't want to say anything. If I was 70 years old, that's what I would say. I'm not at my age, I cannot say certain things out of fear. What are you supposed to be? Doing what? What were you created for? You know man of my sing singer Ida, when she's singing for me sometime when they are singing. You know, when we are when we are on a crusade or a program. I need her to sing only at a particular. 2nd I've. Blasted her many times. That is. She's presatura. I don't see those things. Presatura is. It looks effortless, but there's a lot of fighting behind. Yeah, she must be there. I in the moment, I need you to sing. When we don't sing at that moment, I don't need you. Then only you are only here to sing. You are not here for your face. So when? You are not singing when you are supposed to sing or. You don't know the words of the song. That you are supposed to sing and you cannot step or sing it. Then you are of no use. Why should I put you in my car? Why should I carry you from place to place? You cannot help me or you don't understand what I'm saying when the reason for which you are there is you don't do it anymore. You don't do it. Just discard you. So my friends, so you see my brother, my sister, life is so short, it passes so quickly and soon is gone. You just have one life to live on earth, to remember your Creator while you have breath. For we are created in his Christ Jesus and to good works. I will never stop saying it. I will never. Retrieve from this message. I will. I will never pull. Back from this message. I will never stop saying it. I will die saying it. Because you will find out that This is why you were created. You were created for his, for him. For good works, yes. We have only these two messages. Yes, put that. Yeah. I will never, never, never stop. Saying it, I will never stop saying it. I will never change. My mind, I will never change my especially at my age. You are you are his workmanship. You are his workmanship. I shouldn't I should change what is in the Bible. I'm saying it you are his workmanship. You are. Created for good, works with Christ before long time as planned. That you will come and do those things for him. Sometimes just its shocking. To see the people God uses. 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th choice. You know that almost everybody who works. For me is not my first choice. Almost everybody. Who works for me is not my first choice. I can almost everybody. Who works for me is not my first choice for. Every job. That I have somebody working. Is not that. Person that I originally wanted to do the work. They are all substitutes. Sometimes. I meet the substitute. Of the. Substitute the substitute substitute. We are all working around. Sometimes I introduce them, I said. You. This is your job. That she's doing. She's doing your job. Girls are doing boys jobs, Huh. Boys can also do girls jobs. Yeah, Before then, So what? That was a day for people. Today they are not doing it. Small, small, unqualified people. Small, small boys and girls, they'll be doing their jobs. Some of the people I work with, they are 20 years younger than me. I could give birth to them 20 years. They are not in my, what do you call it, age group. I mean, they are not people that I knew, but that's how it is. God will pick somebody. Reinhard Bonke, he said that his father. Couldn't be like he was feeling sleepy at. Such a moment locating. Right now. OK, Reinhard Bonke, his father, was a pastor. And he told his father, I. Had a vision that I'll be an evangelist in Africa and his father said no, no, no, no, not you, my first son, he's going to be my successor, not you. And say he was not good in school and he was not good in maths. So he was called a zero. They had a nickname for people who are not good in school, Zero. And he that was the name was given to him. Zero. You are 0. As he was preaching, he said today. As I'm preaching, my brother is not even saved. The one who was supposed to be the successor is not even born again. Many times those who are nice and who are whatever, they don't want to do it. God will. Go down the line and choose so many people to do His work. The zeros are brought into play. So be careful when you are handling the zeros because they are also special. Yeah. So brothers and sisters, this is the message of the Lord to you. People need the Lord. There's so much work to be done, so much to be done, so much to be supported, and I want us to give ourselves to it. Look. One day one of our pastors was going abroad. I don't know if it is. Is it you? I was, I was, you know, is it Fred? Is it Fred? I said to him before. I said I always think as if you are going to die it will make you very wise. Since I had my accident on Terminally road, I became conscious of death more than ever and it has changed everything about what I'm doing that's made me do the church as if I'm not there. Now the church is more stable and more out of a one man control type of something. It's true some of the changes transfers that they've moved this, but I don't even know about it, I just find out. Where are you? Now I see I didn't transfer you. It's fantastic. Isn't that a powerful thing? So it's it's good. So brothers and sisters, as we are going to sleep now we are going to our rooms to sleep. So come in the morning. I want us to always bear in this, this inner heart that God has a good thing and you better be doing it. Otherwise you may not live long. Yeah, before you realize you'd be knocking cuckoo, coughing your anger inside the coffin. You are knocking. You are not knocking vertically. You are knocking up on the coffin. If I was 70 years old, then I could say certain things, but at my age, I cannot. I can, I can never say after. I can't have to be careful. Amen. All right, I'm going to receive an offering now. I'm going to give a good offering. People need the Lord, and it's a blessing. Those of you who are giving, offering as if you are in school, May God forgive you. Lay hands on your neighbor and say it is a forgiveness that you are receiving. Now take out $100 for. This thing that. You are watching how many want to watch it again? You like to watch it again? Take out your offering. Where's my video? I don't have to. Stand $100.50 dollars $100 Why?
