Please be seated in the heavenly places. You know, at City Harvest Church, we love to welcome all our new friends. So, after the service, do not be in a hurry to leave. We want to invite you to our VIP lounge at hall 605. Enjoy a free

32:57 complimentary cup of coffee and our friendly greeters will be around to connect with you. We just turn to our neighbors your left and right and say, "Welcome to City Harvest Church." Yeah. This morning you can see all the pastors, all of us, we're all in suits because a very very important man is here. In a moment we're going to introduce Bishop to you. But last night we just had an a amazing service. Uh the service went for uh two and a half hour two hours 40 minutes. So guys today I want you to uh stay all the way through. Tell all your friends or family members say sorry we cannot come so early today because we have an appointment with God. Yeah. Tell your neighbor and say you have an appointment with God. Yeah. So our service will go up to about 12:30

33:43 today. Just be prepared. Yeah. Anything earlier you are let off earlier. But it's going to be great. Thank you so much for being here today. Uh let's get ready to collect God's tithes and offerings. Praise the Lord. Thank you so much, pastor. Very good morning to everyone. Welcome to City Harvest Church. Right now, let's prepare our hearts to give our best offering to the Lord even as we have worshiped the Lord right now with our songs. Now, church, how many of you this week have been so blessed by the book of Romans seminar with Pastor Kong? Now church, given that the Bible study material that was prepared for us is actually a 780 page full commentary on every verse of the entire 16 chapters in

34:29 Romans. How many of you agree Pastor Kong always does his best for his people? Amen. Right. Come on. Let's give God a big hand. Now every session was so spiritually invigorating and particularly for our offering today I just want to relate to you the verse that pastor spoke on the last day in Romans 15 25 to verse 27 he says Paul there planned to collect an offering for the church in Jerusalem from the gentile churches and he says in verse 25 now however I am on my way to Jerusalem in the service of the Lord's people there for Macedonia and Aaya were pleased to make a contribution for the poor among the Lord's people in

35:15 Jerusalem. And they were pleased to do it. Somebody say with me, they were pleased to do it. >> And indeed, they owe it to them. For if the Gentiles have shared in the Jews spiritual blessings, they owe it to the Jews to share with them their material blessings. Now church, Paul argues over here that since the Gentiles has shared in the spiritual things, right, originating from the Jewish believers such as the law of God that was given to them, salvation that came from the Jews. It is thus their duty to serve them back with material things. At one glance, this looks like an unequal market

36:01 exchange where spiritual blessings are being reciprocated with material blessings. However, the statement they were pleased to do it, somebody say with me again, they were pleased to do it. >> indicates that the exchange nature is not transactional but relational. relational that is born out of spiritual love and kinship. In the same way today as we approach giving, don't approach giving as transactional but approach it as relational because Jesus did the same to us. Remember in relational Jesus died for us

36:46 on the cross and what Jesus has done for us on the cross exceeded what you and I can ever give back to him materially. Church, are you also going to crucify yourself on the cross to match the exchange for what he has done for us? Quoting pastor Kong may go my certainly not. Hallelujah. Right. However, the least that you can do today is to is to reciprocate with our love. Not only by saying thank you by giving of our life, giving of our offering to Jesus because he is worthy of our thanksgiving and our love for him. How many of us can say amen? Come on, let's give Jesus a big hand. Hallelujah. Let us prepare our hearts right now to give our best offering to the Lord. You

37:32 know on the screen there is a QR code that you can scan using your bank application or you can also give using the CAC app by clicking on into the uh give icon, right? Or if you want to give using your cash, you can use the envelope that is in front of you. Or if you need one, just lift up your hands. The ushers will pass one to you. Praise the Lord. But more importantly, the best way to give is to give with a big wide smile and also love for Jesus. Amen. Are you ready to give? Amen. Right. Someone over here lifted up their hands. Let us pray before we give. Father, we want to thank you for what you have done for us on the cross 2,000 years ago. And Lord, what you have done for us, Lord, the spiritual impact and the spiritual inheritance that you have bestowed upon

38:19 us, Lord, can never be matched by our material blessings that we are about to give to you. But father, we want to thank you because you are such a loving God. In every exchange, you never view it as transactional. You always view it as relational. And that is why today, Lord, we want to reciprocate that same kind of offering and exchange back to you. We want to give you our love. We want to give you our faith. We want to give you more of our lives represented by this offering today. We thank you in Jesus mighty name. And all the people say amen. God loves such a cheerful giver. Ushers, you may pass the offering bucket right now. Praise the Lord. Hallelujah. Amen. It's so good to see many of you. You are in for a great time. Right now,

39:06 let us watch the video before we continue on with the service. Thank you. Oh.

40:05 There's a widow. A smiling face with a shattered life. A teenage girl with a choice to make. It's crowded here in church today. And the preacher says as the sermon ends, "Please close your eyes, bow your heads. Is there anyone in need of prayer? Oh, Jesus wants to meet you here. Cuz we all fall short and we all have sin. But when you let God's grace break in, it's beautiful.

40:53 Beautiful. Come as you are. Surrender your heart. Broken and beautiful. Well, he never been to church before, but he came today as a last resort. His world was crashing in. And he was suffocating in a sin. But tears rolled down. His hope rushed in. He closed his eyes, raised his hands, worshiping the God who can bring him back to life again. And it's beautiful,

41:40 beautiful. Come as you are. Surrender your heart. Broken and beautiful. Beautiful. Come as you are. Surrender your heart. Broken and beautiful. Cuz there's nothing more beautiful to God than when his sons and daughters come broken.

42:27 >> Say Jesus >> Jesus >> please forgive me for my sins. >> Please forgive me for my sins. >> Oh God, >> oh God, >> I am a sinner. >> I am a sinner. Oh Jesus. >> Oh Jesus. >> I know I am a sinner. >> I know I am a s >> tonight. >> Tonight >> I come to you Lord. >> Just as I am. >> Oh God. >> Please wash away my sins. >> Make me a new person. >> Make me a new person >> from today. >> I open my heart. >> I receive you. Beautiful.

43:14 Come as you are. Surrender your heart. Broken and beautiful. Beautiful. Come as you are. Surrender your heart. Look at beautiful broken and beautiful. Beautiful as you are.

44:05 Since 2004, evangelist Dag Huard Mills and the Healing Jesus campaign have been on a mission to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ across the world. What began as a small gathering has grown into one of the largest global evangelistic movements, reaching people from all walks of life. They have traveled across continents impacting nations with the message of salvation. The evangelist has also had the privilege of meeting with various national leaders including presidents to share the life transforming gospel of Jesus Christ and bring hope to millions.

44:51 Oh.

45:46 Oh. Oh. Oh. Give the Lord a big clap. Hallelujah. >> Nowhere is too far. No city shall be too strong. Everybody turn to your neighbor left and right and say, "Nowhere is too far." >> Say, "No city shall be too strong."

46:34 >> Amen. This morning, we're so blessed and so honored to have one of the greatest men and and his wife alive in our church. Uh before I introduce uh Bishop Dag, I just want to uh honor first lady Adelaide. She's a trained lawyer and together with pastor Bishop um pastor Bishop there with Bishop Dag. They started an amazing revival that's still raging all throughout the earth. Um first lady, can you just stand up right now and give her a big clap right now? First lady Adel. Hallelujah. Bishop and I, we we have a friendship that is almost 25 years because we are together in CGI, Church International.

47:22 And then the last few years, we really got close together. I think the Lord just connected our spirit and I've been such a son and I've been such an admirer of bishop and first lady for the longest time. He's very apostolic. He's really an apostle of God. A lot of evangelists, they preach and then they move on. But bishop, he starts churches. So he has started already more than 4,000 churches in almost 110 countries around the world. And his son Joshua yesterday pastor Joshua preached our emerg service. Amazing preacher already his sons has the largest church in Ghana 25,000 members and the son alone has 200 over churches in 30 over countries. So

48:08 this is a really apostolic call and gift in his life. So today we are so blessed to have an apostle of God in our midst but at the same time he's a world evangelist and as you can see in the video he's preaching all around the world. Now just just to let you know relatively Billy Graham has worn 23 million people to Christ and he's a great great man. When I was a little boy, Billy Graham came to Singapore. Both my sisters were involved in the choir and I had the privilege to get to know his family, hosted his daughter and son a few times in our city. And then Rahab Bonkey, our friend uh who's been to City Harvest Church, he has led 75 79 million people

48:54 to Christ. Well, both of them are gone now. They're in heaven. Bishop has led 25 million people and his goal is 100 million and Bishop is only starting. So we know he's going to reach that goal and we're going to be praying with him. We're going to partner with him. We're going to support him and let's see the biggest harvest in our generation. Amen. Hallelujah. Amen. So are you ready to receive a special impartation today? Let's all stand up on our feet right now. One of the reasons why we always pray in tonesues, our Lord, is because when you pray in tonesues, you tonesues is a language of love. You open up your heart to receive what the Holy Spirit wants to give to you. So why don't we just take a moment, just hold your neighbor's hands

49:40 on your left and right. Just pray for one another for impartation today. You pray. You pray. You take a minute to pray. Pray for a fresh anointing. Pray for a fresh word into your heart. Pray for fresh vision and dream upon our church, upon every cell group, every division, every service. Those watching online today, God is going to touch you in a

50:26 powerful way. Hallelujah. Just lift up your hands right now. Just thank the Lord. Just thank the Lord for a moment. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. We receive something fresh today in Jesus' name. Church, give a big city harvest welcome. Bishop Dag Huitt Meals. Give it up for the man of God. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Hallelujah. Wow. Thank you. Thank you so much. What a blessing.

51:12 Let us pray. Father which are in heaven, thank you for your presence, your glory. Um, thank you for your beautiful presence here. Lead us by your spirit in these few moments we have. We thank you. Thank you for City Harvest Church. Thank you for your blessing in the mighty name of Jesus. Now Lord, I pray for everyone here that your power, your spirit, your move, the move of your spirit will be real on each and every one of us. Thank you for great increase

51:59 of your work. We give you thanks, Holy Spirit. Lift your hands everyone. Thank God for his presence speaking to your heart, touching your life, changing your life, moving you on in God. We give you thanks in Jesus' name, Lord. Amen. >> You may be seated. Thank you. Please be seated. Uh it's a great privilege to be here. I want to say thank you to Pastor Kong and son for welcoming us again into this amazing church. Amen. >> And uh we are so happy to have this relationship which um started in Korea where we met.

52:47 We are proudly or thankfully connected to Dr. Yongi Cho and we are his children. So we are brothers and um we have that relationship. He's a church man. I'm also a church man. All I do is for church. Amen. And for God's house. We are committed to the church. All that our life is for loving God and serving his church and him himself. Amen. So we are blessed to be here and I that gives us a similar spirit. Amen. >> So I believe um God is blessing us to be together and you see we are connected in

53:32 the realm of the spirit. Yes, we are connected in the realm of the spirit. When Jesus was on the cross he turned to uh John and he said behold your mother and said behold your son. So because he was forming a new relationship that was not biological but was now real because of their connection to Jesus. Amen. John was a dear disciple and Mary was his mother. So he connected them on the cross. So I believe that there's connections that are made in the realm of the spirit that

54:18 bring us together by Jesus. Jesus made that connection and made that link. So we are here from that connection that the Holy Spirit has made. Amen. >> So God bless you and I want to get right on into my simple short message. Amen. I always preach short messages. >> Amen. All right. I believe they have as a title for my message. Those who leave you. >> Those who leave you. If you can show us. All right. But yes. Oh, this is just a book. Okay. Now, I have many books that I wrote

55:05 and I wrote it to help the church. Amen. But today I want to start with what I call the reward for hard work is more work. The reward for hard work is more work. And I have a book for that too. So this is the message for city harvest. The reward for hard work is more work. So, God bless you, City Harvest, Pastor Kong, for all your good work.

55:52 Okay? God is rewarding you. And the reward he is giving you for your hard work over the years is more work. Amen. >> Amen. >> Luke chapter 17 verse 7 says, "But which of you having a servant plowing or feeding cattle will say unto him, buy and buy?" When he has come from the field, go and sit down to meet or go and have lunch. Will he not rather say unto him,

56:38 make ready wherewith I may s and get thyself and serve me. Maybe you have a more modern version, but it means get my food ready. All right? Till I have eaten and drunken, and afterward thou shalt eat and drink. Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I throw not or I don't think so. So God is not thanking you for what you've done. He's giving you more work and he's saying I know you were in the field working but I have some more job for you to do. Go and make my dinner.

57:24 So the reward and there are many examples of this idea and if you read my little book here it's a little book the reward for hard work is more work more work so until you are in the grave and in your coffin okay or where how I don't know how you are buried until you are in there, right? The work is not going to be over. It's not over. And you must be careful of saying it's over. You know, those of you who God has used,

58:10 you must be careful of being tired. >> It's a very dangerous thing to be tired in the house of God. Because God notices your attitude towards his work. I tell people your pulling back has implications. And God says you, he notices you say you are tired. And as soon as you notice that you are withdrawing from the intensity of the battle and of the work, that may signal

58:56 the end of you. How many want to die? Don't die now. There's things to do. Amen. There's things to do. Hallelujah. >> So I want to encourage you to decide the reward for hard work is more work. City harvest has more work than has ever been done before. And you are going to grow more

59:42 and have an increase and build a mega bigger than you have seen before church. And you may not know how but that's what God is going to do to build more and do more. Now, some time ago, I just want to say this to you because uh you may not know. Some time ago, I um read something that John Wesley said. John Wesley died in 1791 and uh he was 87 years old.

1:00:31 Now, he died in February, but the year before around August, he said, "In my old age, I've never felt tired of all that I'm doing." Are you listening? >> Ask your neighbor, please. Are you listening to what the man is saying? John Wesley said, "I've never felt tired of this work. I've not felt

1:01:16 any reduction in my tenderness, my happiness, my zeal for what I'm doing till August of last year. He said, "I noticed a change in how I feel in August." And he was dead by February. But all through his old age, he never felt tired of God's work. He was riding horses, traveling, preaching, doing exactly what he used to do when he was younger. And I just want you to know when Elijah

1:02:02 said, "I am tired. It is enough. I've had enough battles. I've dealt with this Jezebel and all these kind of crazy people all my life. I'm tired." He said, "It's enough. Others should do whatever." God said, "Okay, go and get Elisha. I'm changing you. I'm changing your position. You can you'll die soon and everything. It's over." So don't be sad about your work. Don't be depressed. Don't don't don't even say in your room. Be careful what you say in your room because God heard it. Yesterday I was showing you that when Aaron and Miriam criticized Moses, the Bible says, "And God heard it." So you have to be careful. When I read

1:02:48 that thing about John Wesley, I realized that when you sense a tiredness for something, probably it's over or something is ending. You know, I never had any interest in doing crusades because I felt sort of like it was like a waste of time. People have a way of criticizing things. They say, "Oh, how many souls are saved? How many are retained? You know, you just waste a lot of money." this type of uh comments. So I didn't have any real desire. I just church church. But then the Lord put it in my heart to reach out and have energy for campaigning and doing gospel preaching. And he's

1:03:37 also showed me the reason why I should preach and evangelize and how it affects everything. It affects all aspects of ministry including church work because you you just you don't know how it does. But obedience you know uh Jesus said something if you have faith as a mustard seed you you can say to this mountain move and it will move. Now faith is obedience. Hello >> faith is obedience and obedience is faith which means that if you have obedience like a mustard seed you'll be able to do so many great things for God. If you have obedience

1:04:25 like a mustard seed, you will do many great things for God. Because he said if you have faith as a mustard seed, which means if you have obedience like a master seed, you'll be able to do so many things for God. >> You'll be able to move mountains and achieve great things. So friends, don't be tired of the work and of the battle. Adonam Jackson, you know, he he he battled so many things in u Burma to bring the gospel there. Up till today, the Bible, the main Bible there in Myanmar is still Adonam's Bible.

1:05:14 Adonam Jatson the one he translated that's the main B that's like the King James of English his two wives died on him he married three times William Kar also had to marry three times they buried their wives suffered many things in prison was put in prison he almost died in the prison on his final journey when he was he wasn't he wasn't well. He had written his a biography of his second wife and he was married to his third wife who

1:06:01 was pregnant. And when they were getting he was getting on the ship to go, he said, Adonam said, "I'm not tired of my life. I'm not tired of my work. I'm not tired of this work. But if God calls me, I will go like a school child bounding home from school. But I want you to know that I'm not tired. I'm not tired of this work. And I'm not tired of my life that I'm living here. And I want you to know, never let your heart be tired of the

1:06:47 great work >> that you are called to do >> as a family, as a church. Pastor Kong is just the tip of the spear. A spear is made up of a long shaft and then the metal tip. All of you form the shaft and then the tip. Without this long shaft, you can't the tip doesn't work. All of you to all of us together in the family of the church make up the great house that God is using. So let's be ready to keep on >> serving the Lord.

1:07:32 >> Amen. >> Like the great people before us, like the great people before us who have served the Lord. And like Adoniram said, I'm not tired. I'm not tired of my life. He told his wife, I'm not tired of this life and I'm not tired of my ministry and of my work. If God calls me, I will go like a child who is running home after school. But I'm not tired. And you must have that mind and have that heart to love God and to serve him without tiredness and without withdrawing from the front of the battle, from the front line of the core, from the fire and from where

1:08:21 the danger is. Yes. to the very end. Hallelujah. >> So the reward for hard work is more work. Tell your neighbor, God is rewarding you right now. Amen. >> So that's a good message. Is it not a good message? >> Yeah. So you got a good message. I told you my message was short. Now I want to move on today to share with you on the subject of loyalty and disloyalty. And my message is entitled

1:09:07 those who leave you. All right? And I want you to know that I wrote these books in 1998. Long ago before your church was I don't know when your church started. >> 89. Okay. That's that's a long time ago. So this this these books are very important. Those who leave you. Now these are all people who spoil churches. Those who leave you. They spoil things. We have those who leave you. We have those who are mad. Sometimes people behave in a mad way.

1:09:53 You wonder, you know, madness is like bad behavior basically. And there there used to be a psychiatrist theory that madness was bad behavior. And so they needed to be corrected by discipline. Yes, you can check up in history in the history of psychiatry and still up till today when people have mental issues. One of the treatments is what we call psychotherapy which is in English counseling. We just counsel them. It's like think like this. it will help you.

1:10:38 So I have a book for this one. This these type of people also spoil churches. And then we have a book called Why Loyalty. All right. Why loyalty? And then I have another book called Those Who Are. Yes. Yesterday I was sharing a bit about those who are offended. You got to be careful about being offended. And some of you are difficult to marry. You are hurt every day by something. Offended about something. It's difficult to stay with you. We have to apologize about five times a day. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. So

1:11:25 such people are difficult to stay in churches. We are always apologizing. Sorry. Sorry you had to sit on this side. Sorry about this. Sorry about that. Sorry about the air conditioning. Sorry about the toilet. Sorry about that. Sorry. We are sorry. Then we have those who are dangerous sons. Dangerous sons. Wow. Abselum was a dangerous son. He attacked his own father. I hope none of you here will attack your father. You must honor your father so that it will be well with you.

1:12:12 >> Amen. >> Honor your biological fathers. Everybody honor your father. Honor the fathers of the church, the pastors. Honor your father that he may be well with you. Amen. Amen. >> One of the reasons why I also like Pastor Kong is because he honors Dr. Cho. You know, I'm very wary of people who don't honor fathers. There's something wrong with them. Yeah. People who don't honor fathers. Yesterday, I was sharing with you about what is called parasite. That is killing your father. Very, very dangerous to do something like that. All right. Then we have uh

1:12:59 those who forget. Those who forget. Beautiful. And those who forget. Don't forget what has been done for you. You know today, Pastor Kong came to stand here to pray for us before we came. Now you could see and feel the presence of God and he was praying for the people in the church. You know all these prayers and all this effort and this heart of love for you, shephering you and caring for you. Don't forget all

1:13:46 these things. >> Yeah. Those who forget, they don't remember anything. That's why you don't do well in school because you go to school, you can't remember anything that you learned. So people who forget, they don't do well in school and they don't do well in life >> and they don't do well in church and they don't do well in the ministry because they forget so much that has been done for them. a pastor visited you, prayed for you, ministered to you. You know, people who don't go to church, they often don't have anybody to talk to

1:14:32 about anything or to explain anything. You know, one time I was watching, there was a plane crash somewhere and then they said that psychologists and so on had been called to come to the airport. psych psychological counselors or psychologists or psychiatrists or whatever to talk to the people, you know, who had they were waiting for their they were waiting to receive the uh people and the plane didn't come and because in in in type in times of crisis, you need somebody to talk to you or to explain what's happening. You know, one time I was invited to a funeral of somebody who didn't believe in God

1:15:18 and when I was about to speak, it's like they don't they don't believe in God. There's no God, no Bible, nothing. So, I was wondering what to say because everything I have to say is from the Bible. I This is the first time I was I was really blank. So, I just Googled, "What do you say?" Because I don't have anything to say. What do you say to somebody who doesn't believe in God? But when you believe in God and you believe in the Bible, we have a lot to say. >> Hallelujah. So, don't forget all the times when pastors have been there and the church has been there for you. Because of that

1:16:06 you don't even need many time these psychologists and psychiatrists and so on. Amen. >> What a blessing. Those who forget. Then we have those who rebel. Those who say you can't tell us what to do. Who do you think you are? Hey, do you have such people in Singapore or I should go to another country to find such people? H and then we have a book called Judas. Who is he? I have a book called Judas. Who is he? Hey no no no

1:16:51 mistake. Uh-huh. >> How many want to know who Judas is? >> Oh yeah, only four people. So I wouldn't tell you then. You know Judas, Judas was a son. He was a son of pedition. So some of you who are sons may be a son of the pastor, a son of pastor Kong and you you actually you can't be a Judas unless you are a son of the house. And then you must be close. You must be a friend. When Judas came,

1:17:38 Jesus said, "Friend, what's happening? You must be a friend." So all of you who are friends of the pastor, be careful. You are candidates. Hey, anyway, I'm not preaching about that today. Then we have those who are slanderers. All these books are available on the website dagbooks.org. There are slanderers. You see the guy is on a computer. He's typing to post on Facebook Instagram. H watch out. Ask your neighbor, do you write bad things on the on the social media? Ask your neighbor who is sitting by you. Do you write bad things on social media?

1:18:25 Do you attack people on social media? Criticizing these are not these are not good things. Amen. Now the next one is those who make shipwreck. Shipwreck. Paul says some people have made shipwreck of their faith. Example Himenius and Alexander who were blasphemers. They could speak preposterous and incredulous things against the servants of God. And Paul said they've made shipwreck of their faith. So you can read it if you are interested. And another book said be faithful unto

1:19:11 death. Be faithful unto death. And the next one is I have just introducing those who are wolves and another book called those who honor you and another those who pretend and another those who accuse you. All these books are under the series. But today I just want to quickly for a few minutes talk about those who leave you. Amen. And I want us to look at chapter two of this book. Why do people leave? Why do people go away? And the story is in Luke chapter 15. Bible says a certain

1:19:59 man had two sons. Those who leave you. A certain man had two sons. And the younger said to his father, "Father, give me the portion of goods that fall to me." And he divided unto them his living. And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living. And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in the land, and he began to be in want. And he went and joined himself to a citizen of the country, and he sent him into his

1:20:46 fields to feed swine. His situation got from bad to worse. And he would fa filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat, and no man gave unto him. serious. And when he came to himself, he said, "Man, I'm crazy. I must be mad. How many hired servants of my fathers have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger? I will arise, and I will go to my father, and I will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before thee, and I am no more worthy to be called thy son. make me as one of thy hired servants. And he arose and came to

1:21:33 his father. But while he was a great way off, his father saw him and had compassion and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him. And the son said unto him, "Father, I have sinned against heaven and in thy sight, and I am no more worthy to be called thy son." But the father said to his servants, "Bring forth the best robe and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet, and bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it, and let us eat and be married. For this my son, this my son was dead and is alive again. This my son was lost and is found. He was lost and is found."

1:22:19 and they began to be merry. Amen. >> So today this famous story of Jesus, we have two boys in the family. All right? Just like how we are in a family and one of them decided to leave. One of them decided to leave home to leave the house. To leave the church to leave a a church is a home. It's called the house of God. a house. One one of these guys decided to go away from where he was secure, where he was part of the family and and just leave and and move away. And you ask yourself that what was wrong

1:23:04 with this guy? Why did he do this? You see, and all of us must be careful of this story because all of us are part of a family. You are part of City Harvest. You are part of the church and then suddenly you see people take off and those who used to be with us last year are not with us this year and you see people leaving and going places. All right? Sometimes they go to other churches of they don't go to church anymore and you ask yourself those who leave you why what what are they thinking about? What is it that makes people leave a ministry? Sometimes you have even pastors who were part of the church. Then suddenly one of them

1:23:50 decides I'm I'm going. I'm going somewhere. So I don't want to be part of this anymore. And so you ask yourself, what is it that makes people behave like this? And what does it lead to? What does it lead to? What what happened to this boy when he when he left home? How did he how did he end up? He ended up in difficulty. If you leave home when you're not supposed to leave home, there's going to be problems. Uh there are people that have left this church and you find out that after leaving church

1:24:35 when they where they wherever they went to, you find out they don't they don't look at this boy. I mean he wasted his substance. He wasted his opportunity. Sometimes I see people who say, "Oh, I'm I'm leaving," you know, and uh they they leave where they belong. They leave the home they belong to and they believe the setup that they they leave the group that they belong to. >> You know, God always puts you in a group. >> He puts you in a house. >> He puts you in a family. Yeah. >> If you walk away from your home and you walk away from where you belong. Haha. >> You got to be careful. Not easy to transplant a big tree.

1:25:22 >> It's not easy to transplant a house. >> It's not easy to transplant you from the family you belong to into another family. >> As some of you, you are city harvest from beginning to end. >> It's not easy to transplant you to another place, another place, another place. You must value where you are. >> Now the Bible say the younger of them Bible says foolishness is found in the heart of children. >> The younger guy said look I'm leaving. I'm going I'm going away from this person. I'm tired of pastor Kongi. I'm tired of this church. Ah you have to be careful and you have to know many times when you get uprooted

1:26:08 you end up becoming something different from you were expected to be. You see there are people here I tell you when we work with you in the end you are also going to become ministers. Many of you are going to turn into servants of God >> as you keep staying in the house of God and as you keep on listening. Pastor, look at pastor Kong. He was sharing with you about the uh Romans. You know, apart from him, I the only other person I ever know who has ever shared about Romans like that is Derek Prince. I don't know if you know Derek Prince, but he's a great man of God. Yeah. You know, I mean, these are deep things and with time you're going to become something great. But if you leave, if you leave, if you abruptly leave where you belong,

1:26:55 it it's not going to happen. You see this guy he left the house and then he became he he wasted his substance. It was his elder brother who brought the information later in the story that he was living with prostitutes. >> You know it was because the brother of course was monitoring on social media what his brother was doing. So he said later in the story that this guy was wasting his his life with girls and and he spent his whole life and his money everything got finished. The same amount of money that he had his father became poorer by half of his wealth went when the boy left. >> Yeah. And that's why people who leave

1:27:41 affect churches >> so that they go away they take away a big chunk of the wealth the strength of the church >> when they go. Yeah. >> Yeah. That's why it's something we have to talk about >> because if you don't take care, the devil will uh mislead you to to to go where when you shouldn't go and then you find out yourself on a journey, a wild goose chase and before you realize you are feeding with pigs. >> So this guy all his money got finished. Everything he had got finished and he went and joined himself to a citizen of the country which means that he tried to have a solution which was not a solution. >> The solution is to go back home.

1:28:28 >> The solution is to go back home. Instead of going back home, he wanted to organize some other things. So he went and joined himself to a citizen of the country. and the citizen of the country made things worse >> because he sent him to the fields to feed swine. >> Now maybe you may not know what it means to feed swine. Once I was in Israel uh the very first time I went there I was going actually to a CGI meeting. I went to invite uh Dr. Cho. But anyway that day I was in a hotel in in in uh Jerusalem I think it was. And uh then when the waiter came, I looked at the menu and I looked this this this. I said, "Please, do you have pork?" I said, "Do you have pork?" And the

1:29:15 waiter said, "Pork? We don't have pork here. There's no pork here. We don't have pork here." You know, and I was taking her back. I realized they don't have they don't have pork. They don't have pigs. Said in Israel here, we don't have pork. So they don't eat pork. They don't like pork. They don't want pork. Hey. So I realized that for this boy to be feeding the pork. He was feeding the pigs. Not that he was even eating some pork chops. He was feeding the pork chops. Huh? It means that he went very very very low. As far as a Jew is concerned, he was very low to be eat feed. Not that he was eating. He was feeding them.

1:30:03 And they were fighting with him for food. >> And it shows how low you go when you step away from your father's house. >> You go down, down, down, down, down, down down down down down down down down down down down. So many people become nothing. There are people that have left this ministry who belong here and as they've gone out, they become nothing. They talk big mouth and all that but the bottom line is they are nothing. >> They are feeding with pigs. They are lost everything they ever had and they become nothing >> because they step away. And that's all that this boy did. So one day I was

1:30:50 praying and I said Lord what happened? What are the spirits that affected this boy? What what spirits were working on this guy to make him go away from his father's house in this way? >> Are you listening to me? >> How many would like to know what >> spirits are working? All right. So, number one, the spirit of deception. Yes. And I want everybody to turn with me to Revelations chapter 20 and verse 7 and verse 8. The spirit of deception. Yes. Now, what is the spirit of

1:31:37 deception? The spirit of deception in Revelations. Everybody listen. How will you know the presence that there's a devil somewhere? You can't you can't see devils but you can see the effect >> of the devil. So one of the things you need to do as a servant of God is to know what it is like when a Satan is present. >> What does he do? Now I want you to look this one. This one will help you. It will help your life. It will help your marriage. It will help everything. Look at it. When thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison.

1:32:23 Okay. And what is he going to do? Verse 8, everybody watch. Watch. This is the Bible. It says, "And he shall go out to deceive." So people are deceived when Satan is loosed and comes in your direction. And then what does he make you do? Deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and and Magog, to gather them to battle. So Satan gathers people to fight look to gather them to battle the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. So Satan, one of Satan's work is he'll pick you and you and say fight. >> You and you fight. Fight together.

1:33:09 People who were at peace. People who had no fighting at all. >> There was no problem. And so when Satan comes, he gathers Gog and Magog to battle. It's one of the main things he does. When there's a happy marriage and the devil is able to come in, he will gather and say, "You and you fight." And he stands back and say, "Round one start and they start in the house talking, fighting, quarreling." It's the presence of the devil. He gathers Gog and Magog to battle >> in the church. There's peace. There's no problem. Then he says, "You senior pastor and junior pastor fight.

1:33:55 Or you and your assistant fight. Or you and your advisor fight. >> You and you fight." And then the church divide. You and you fight. You and you fight. Fight in social media. Fight in the church. Fight in argument at meetings. Fight in court. Fight in any way you can. >> The presence of demons >> causes people who were at peace to fight each other. >> Read your Bible clearly. >> The devil will go out to deceive nations >> and bring them together in a boxing ring and he will press the starting gong. Gong start bang fight. You know all the wars in the world they

1:34:42 don't make sense. This is one of the amazing thing about the war. They don't make sense. If you take the second world war >> the second world war had doesn't make any sense at all. They fought and they killed over 50 million people. >> That's how many people died in the 50 60 million people. And when the war was over every country was back to its old borders. Everybody was here back to exactly the same as it was before they started the war. >> For six years they fought six years. Germany invaded this, invaded that, Ukraine, Russia, everything. They fought fought fought fought fought killed 60 million people. 50 and then stopped and then rebuilt what they destroyed.

1:35:28 It's like it's like you you just you just wonder what is the sense >> in this So a spirit of deception causes people to fight each other and causes churches to fight to fight the senior pastor to fight one another to war in the church and is the presence of a devil. >> The issue you don't even understand what is the issue what is the real point in all the fight. So in your home you see a nice couple very happy looking at least in the pictures and you wonder that what could be the topic why these two people will not be

1:36:15 happy together or what should be what what is it what what is causing them to not be happy or not like each other or even to have an argument. You wonder what argument could these two have? But you see so many arguments. I know you don't have such things in Singapore. So hey, so deception causes people, the spirit of deception causes people to start wars that they they they shouldn't have at all. number two and and cause them to leave the spirit of ungratefulness.

1:37:01 Yes ungratefulness. Now, I want you to I want you to see something. Bible says, "Whosoever Proverbs chapter 17 verse 13 Proverbs chapter Did you get that? What does it say? >> Evil shall not depart from his house. Yes. Now, how do you say thank you to your father for looking after you the way he's

1:37:48 looked after you? Oh, I don't I don't need you anymore. I don't want to be connected to you. I don't want I don't I don't want to be associated with I don't want anybody to mention Kongi and mention my name. I don't want that association. Really? Really? Where did you learn such things from? >> You amaze me. >> You don't want to be connected. You don't want to be associated. Why? You don't want to be connected to me. What have I done all these years? I've been your father. Look at this boy. He said the Bible says he went to a far country. Not just a country, a far country. Why do you go so far? I don't want the connection. >> I don't want the association.

1:38:36 >> I don't want the linkage. Don't mention me and don't mention you together. >> Where did you get that from? Really? When you were in the mud, your pastor came looking for you, preaching to you, leading you to God, to Christ, leading you for years. Now you've grown up. I don't want to be associated with that church. I don't want to be associated with that pastor. I I I I I don't I don't want that connection, that link. Don't don't connect me. Hey, Bible says he took his journey to a far look at it.

1:39:22 >> A far country. >> Oh wow. >> You know, one day one of my pastors, one of my church members, my my children in the church. He told me something. He said his father was in prison. I told him, I said, "Really?" I said, "Go and visit your father. Make sure you look look after him very well. You don't know why. You don't know what the issues are. And he truly he didn't know. He said you don't have any idea. Recently one one one one guy told me said my mother is a prostitute. He told me the country. I said you better honor your mother. Said you don't know. You don't know. You don't know why your mother is a prostitute. You don't know what she what

1:40:08 what work she's done. You don't know how she became what she became. The Bible says honor your father. Simple. You don't want to be. Some people are ashamed of their mothers. Some people are ashamed of their fathers. Why do you take your journeys to such a far country? I don't want to be close. I don't want to be connected. Listen, don't reward good with evil. The good that your pastor in your church has been to you, don't return evil. Even I want to say some of you even if you want to leave at least say bye-bye. How come you don't even say goodbye, I'm leaving. I'm going. You just walk away

1:40:55 and act as though everything that has been done to you was something bad. What a shame. Monsters are created when we are not thankful. If you look at Romans chapter 1 verse 21, Romans chapter 1 quickly, it says because that when they knew God, they glorified. I learned this from Derek Prince. Derek Prince said >> and thankfulness is the beginning of all the evils. He says, "When they knew God, they glorified him not as God and neither were thankful." >> Oh, neither were thankful. But then you

1:41:43 see, when you're not thankful, you become vain. Look at it. They became vain in their imaginations and their foolish heart was darkened. >> And then what happened next after this? Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools. And what happened next? And they changed the glory of God. And what happened next? Verse 24. And wherefore God gave them up. He said, "You know what? You guys can do whatever you want to do. >> You can do whatever you want to do." God gave them up to dishonor themselves. And all the evils followed in the world >> and it started from neither were they thankful. Wow. >> Not being thankful is the beginning of

1:42:28 many many evils. >> Not being thankful. When I come here and I say thank you, I tell pastor come, thank you for inviting me. Ah, you don't know. It's an honor to be invited. It's an honor to be invited again. You people must be thankful. >> And I tell you, when it is your Give me my book, Those Who Honor You. When it is your pastor's birthday or Christmas or any other time possible to honor, give me my book. Those who honor you, you must honor him. >> And now I'm here. I'm I'm preaching to you as a child. I'm saying things he

1:43:15 cannot say. So I'm saying them. He cannot tell you. He will not tell you to honor him. But I'm telling you to honor him. I'm telling you to honor him. Yes. Galatians chapter 6 verse 6. Galatians chapter 6 verse 6. It says, "Let him that is taught, let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things." Another version says, "Share all good things with the one who teaches you." This man has been standing here teaching you for the last 30, 40 years. standing to you talking

1:44:01 explaining Romans explaining Ephesians explaining Colossians explaining explaining explaining teaching teaching teaching teaching teaching I mean honestly it's your duty to be thankful it's your duty to be thankful and the Bible said they were not thankful and they became fools they became foolish It's your duty to be thankful. To be thankful. To be thankful. To be thankful. >> Neither were they thankful. Neither were

1:44:49 they thankful and they became dark. Let him that is taught in the word communicate to the one who teaches in all good things >> in money in houses in gifts in cash in anything that is good. Look at it. I didn't write the Bible. Can you see my name there? I didn't write the Bible. This is the Bible. >> Yes. Honor. >> I said honor. >> Yes. Many of you don't know what your father has done for you. >> Yes. You may be seated. >> Those of you who are sitting, you you you you you I don't want you to go lower.

1:45:39 Now listen, listen. You know, some years ago, I was talking to my mother. My mom is Swiss, white, Swiss German. I was talking to my mother. I was working in a hospital then and I told her, "Mommy, this hospital I went to very dirty, horrible. I could I couldn't stand the place. Terrible." You know what my mother told me? She said, "Really? Really?" I said, "Yeah, really, really horrible." She said, "I slept in that place. It was a pediatric ward for children." She told me I slept there with you many nights. I slept in that particular

1:46:26 hospital in that particular ward. I never knew that my mother did that. And I never even knew that I was sick. I thought I always I was always well. You see, that's why the Bible says honor your father. >> Honor your mother because you don't know what your father has done. You don't know the real things behind the scene. what your mother did. What your father did for you. Yes. And I tell you, nobody here even I tell you think you know, but you don't know what Pastor Kong has done for you >> and what he has been through and his wife and what they've been through for you. >> You have your idea, but you don't really know. Like that day that day I told my I don't know why my mother had never told
