X
that you
for this opportunity to be you servant
to share of the Word Gd
it's an honour to be here
immediately
(JOHN 5:1-16) THIS is the context...
this guy
has lying there
can't move
Jesus
approached and asked him..
do you want to get well?
notices the answer of
this guy, he said..
i had no one...in verse 7.
in your Bible
I have no one to help me when the water is stirred..
while I am trying, somebody gets ahead of me
this
reply has implication (Jn 5: 7)
.....feedback....
alright...this reflects on how Jesus practiced their faith...
on their daily life...
thisis
in their context
they have, this CONDITIONAL OR CONTRACTUAL FAITH
THIS WAS PRACTICED BY ABRAHAM
on how Abraham practiced this? have you remember he bargained with God...
from 45, 40, 30, 20 to 10
40
30
20 down to ten, God said go ahead...
what happened
no even reach to 10 even 5, I guess..
only four made to came out in ***...
the couple (Lot and his wife)
and two daughters...
Bargaining...now, Abraham we knew, he kwen that he failed...
FAILED
not later after he learned to carefully obey God
and became a father of Faith...when he offer
without condition, without bargaining
offered his
son Isaac..the loved
the best
the only that he has...
that's the time he was called fathers of faith...
R.O.I
or Compensational faith
said here, by Gideon,
please make it dry...
if the dry, please make it wet...
to make sure you are with present...
right?
sometimes we are like this..
whereas, our communication itself is already a miracle and a sign...
hardship and hunger
it is the a reward when serving you long? is the life of a Christian? is this the life of being your servant?
God said, (correction) not only you alone in the service, I have reserve 700....
seven hundred
now in our life,
I hope not one of us here...
two hundred-percent
any increase
just a like business...
this is not bad, actually..
because ah...it is a business that church has by asking us our money, it's not true that God will multiply my money the moment I give..
I will not give tithes anymore, none sense
I practised this slap...
Lord, tis is the only money, but I will sacrifice this and give it to you in the offering box
hoping someday
by God's grace it idd, because I need...
but sometimes
we don't need
the look on the R.O.I results...
They missed to observed how they lived with the obedience and walked with God
they based on it...
a lot like this..
if there is an occasion
now, what the verse said, v7?
the way the lame answered..
he said...
so if there is occasion, presence of the angel that stirred the water...
I am sure I will get healed...
we are like this
no miracles...
I f God has not do anything in me..
jesus
we assumed, we're doing right..
this the way the lame assumed...
sometimes were like that, faith that is based on calculations...
if will get first, then,
I will get the blessings..
I will get the healing..
to the areas that we need to improve...
there's nothing wrong with that
there's nothing wrong
actually that is good...
but if you based your faith in that area, that's a major problem..
God will give us a simple instruction,,,
simple structure
what we need is to follow Him..
he said here...
did you see in verse 8?
said
is this instruction difficult to follow? ask you self..
if you this guy?
is this hard to do?
not? why?
let's think for a few seconds...
why? he can't even moved...
unfair instruction to somebody who can't move.
easy to say, easy to understand but...
Lord, you want me to move, want me to stand, do you not know my situation? I can't even move...
beyond our capabilities..
beyond our capabilities..
can't change myself...because I am like this ever since...
there's a chorus goes like that..
the only need in our life is Jesus ...
what was their Law about?
the new miracle happened in his life, much more to us when we acquire new gadgets..
were so excited and can't sleep for a few days or weeks, experimenting our new toy..
they critiqued Jesus..
said here..
who told you to walk?
they first asked, who told you to walk instead who healed you?
the said who told you to walk?
see, how this people make excuses and alibi..
The rejected the Stone "Jesus"
what is the right faith: because Conditional faith, R.O.I/Compensational faith, Occasional faith, HUman manufactured/assumption/calculation faith are false faith faith: faith of the immature...
it has said in this scenario on John 5: 1-16
