We awesome in your holy matrimonious name. Hallelujah in Jesus' name. Amen. Be reading into your hearing Proverbs 14 verses 30 to 35. And it says, the heart is the life of the flesh, but envy the rottenness of the bones. He that oppresses the poor reproaches his maker, but he that honor him has mercy, has mercy on the poor. The wicked is driven away in his wickedness, but the righteous has hope in his death. Wisdom rested in the heart of him that has understanding, but that which is in the midst of fools is made known. Righteousness exalts the nation, but sin is a reproach to any people. It's a disgrace to any people. Hallelujah. The king's favor is towards a wise servant, but his wrath is against him that causes shame. Lord, add a blessing to the reading to the end of this word. Hallelujah. Thank you, Jesus. We want the wisdom of the Lord to fall down on us this morning like the dew does in the morning. The Lord waters everything with the dew that he gives, and we want his spirit to do it. Like the dew in the morning, gently rest upon by. Like the dew, like the dew in the morning. Jesus today, and we bless him. Hallelujah. He is God. Hallelujah. Simply because he is God. Hallelujah. He loves us with an everlasting love. Thank you, Jesus. Because of who you are, I came to meet Jehovah. Hallelujah. In the presence of the Lord, then a thousand days elsewhere. Hallelujah. Oh, it's so wonderful, wonderful. Just to think about Hallelujah being face to face with the Lord. Amen. Like upon his face. You're 12. Then a thousand hours. Then a thousand. We wish to see the Lord face to face. Amen. Amen. Amen. There's nothing that this world can offer me that is better than one day in the presence of the Lord. Amen. Amen. At this time, we will have our bishop come forward. Amen. Bishop Alexander. Praise the Lord to all the people of God. Hallelujah. Oh, give thanks unto the Lord. Because he's good. Because his mercy endure it forever. Amen. And thank God for his grace and his mercy that he bestows upon us because we belong to him. Right now the program says I'm going to sing a solo this morning. But what I would like to do is teach a song. Amen. This is the song. It's this long. Now, do we have some more of these out on the table in the hallway there? If we can get as many of those passed around to people. All right. All right. I'll just, you may be seated for a moment. Then perhaps you'll stand as we get into this song. And the message on today will be addressing the message to the book of Matthew, Matthew number 25. And the book of Matthew 25, it has from the beginning, it has several parables that are directing the people of God or the world in general. The first parable is the virgins that are wise virgins and foolish virgins. Then at verse 14, it addresses the master who went away on a journey and left talent to the workers. We're going to begin at verse 31 when Jesus says, be ready. Now, let me say, give me the key. I want to ask you to join me when you learn this. And let me give you the words. In as much as you have done it unto one of these, the least of all my brothers, the Father's heart to please, in as much as you have done it unto one of these, you have done it, done it unto me. That's the whole song. Now, Jesus is speaking to those who are planning on going to heaven. And he says, I want you to be able to understand what I'm saying. I want you to understand that because you can't just go to heaven because you want to. There are rules and regulations. And Jesus talked to us concerning our attitude. Say attitude. Thank you. Sometimes when the Lord begins to bless people, they forget where they started and they get the big head. They forget their amnesia. And they began to look down on people that they consider in the lower class than they. How about the royal family? They think they're better than everybody. You can't join that club unless you're born into the family, the royal family. But Jesus said there are some people who are not a part of the royal family. Not the true royal family, but that royal family. He said there's somebody else other than that. He said, don't you get it twisted? Don't you think you're better than anybody? He says, in as much as you have done it unto one of these, the least people, the people on the lowest level as level goes, people without a home living on the street. He said, in as much as you have done it to the least of these, my brother, you've done it unto me. Come on, somebody. In as much as you have done it unto one of these, the least of all my brothers, the Father's heart to please. In as much as you have done it unto one of these, you have done it, done it unto me. In as much as you have done it unto one of these, the least of all my brothers, the Father's heart to please. In as much as you have done it unto one of these, you have done it, done it unto me. I'll let you come in next. In as much as you have done it, I said next, one of these, the least of all my brothers, the Father's heart to please. In as much as you have done it unto one of these, you have done it, done it unto me. Now let's stand. Now you all know it. In as much as you have done it unto one of these, the least of all my brothers, the Father's heart to please. In as much as you have done it unto one of these, you have done it, done it unto me. In as much as you have done it unto one of these, the least of all my brothers, the Father's heart to please. In as much as you have done it unto one of these, in as much as you have done it unto one of these, the least of all my brothers, the Father's heart to please. In as much as you have done it unto one of these, in as much as you have done it unto one of these, in as much as you have done it unto one of these, the least of all my brothers, the Father's heart to please. In as much as you have done it unto one of these, put your hands together. Hallelujah, Hallelujah. Thank, thank God. Thank you Jesus. Hallelujah, Hallelujah. Thank God, thank God. You may be seated. Hallelujah. Now, that's an old, old one. If they had a contest of knowing the old songs, I kind of pride myself in knowing all the old ones. But I got stuck halfway through that. I had to call Sister Springfield. I called and got Sister Madkin and she said, what can I do for you? I said, you can't do nothing for me, you don't know. I said, I want to speak to the lady who knows the song, the shelf behind the door. I just learned that a couple years ago. I never knew there was any such song as that. When Sister Springfield got on the line, I said, I'm trying to remember the words to, in as much as you have done it unto one of these, I said, the least of all, I said, I can't remember what comes next. Immediately she said, the least of all my brothers, the Father's heart to please. Jesus is speaking. And he's going to help us get our attitude right in order to make the flight. Come on somebody. Now in Matthew chapter 25, I told you about the wise foolish virgins and we spoke concerning the master who left and left various ones with talent. We're starting at verse number 31 and I want to use partly as a topic, are you ready? And what brought that to my mind as I studied this passage is that I've been in music all of my life, grammar school through high school and college in choral music. And one of the songs that we sang in college is Ride the Chariot. And it goes like this. Ride the chariot in the morning, Lord. Ride the chariot in the morning. I'm getting ready for the judgment day, my Lord, my Lord. Ride the chariot in the morning, Lord. Ride the chariot in the morning, Lord. I'm getting ready for the judgment day, my Lord, my Lord. And it goes on now. This is commonly known as a Negro spiritual. Well, I just say it's a spiritual. And I'll read the last stanza. It said, get ready for the mighty journey leaving in the morning. Get ready for the master call. Just call me in the morning. Get ready if you want to see Jesus. Are you ready, my sister? Are you ready for the journey? Do you want to see Jesus? I'm waiting for the chariot because I'm ready to ride. All right. Now that was someone's testimony. In Matthew 25, 31 through 46 what's being considered is a parable spoken by Jesus. And it's addressing the final judgment of nations. Verse 31, I'll begin to read. When the Son of man shall come in his glory and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit up on the throne of his glory. And before him shall be gathered all nations and he shall separate them one from another as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats. Jesus says he's coming back and he's coming back in glory. Now he said, I'm not coming back like I came before. I came meek and lowly born in a manger wrapped in swaddling clothes and I came to set people free. He said I came with every nation in my mind that they might be clean and holy and ready to go back to heaven when I come back. So he says he's coming back and he's coming back in glory and he's bringing some angels with him. Come on, he's bringing a heavenly host. He's coming to be enthroned. Then verse 33 said, and he shall set the sheep on his right hand. But the goats on his left then shall the king say unto them on his right hand, come. Come ye blessed of my father. He said, you come on and go with me because you're blessed. You're chosen by the father. Inherit the kingdom. Prepare you from the foundation of the world. He said because I was hungry and you gave me meat. I was thirsty and you gave me drink. I was a stranger and you took me in naked and you clothed me. I was sick and you visited me. I was in prison and you came unto me. Now, these three verses, Jesus says, I told you I'm coming back and I'm going to judge the nations. I'm keeping record. I'm an all-seeing God and I'm everywhere there is a where. And I know who you are. Each and every nation. Each and every individual, he's got his eyes on you. He says, now I'm coming to take those who belong to me to heaven. And how I will determine who belongs to me is by what you've done. Not what you didn't do. He said, you've proven to me that you're righteous. You've proven to me that you understand that it's not all about you and yours. He said, so I've come to take those who belong to me back to my father's house. Oh, what a wonderful day. Oh, what a wonderful day when Jesus comes and he separates the sheep from the goat. Come on, somebody. You know, sheep and goats are different breeds of animals, but one has a propensity to do some crazy stuff when the others have their right mind. He said, to those who are on the right, he said, you belong to me. He said, you've proven to me that you love me. He said, I didn't have to pry you. I didn't have to wrestle with you to get you to do the right thing. He said, you heard what I said and you knew this day was coming. He said, so you prepared to ride the chariot in the morning. Hallelujah, hallelujah. Thank God for a just God. Thank God for a mighty God who sees all and knows all. Hallelujah, hallelujah. You know, this world's in a bad shape. Anybody know that? Now, there are nations who are really showing out, Russia being one of them, with the great power of weapons that they have. And they choose a small nation next door to shoot missiles over and destroy their country and stick their chest out and are proud. But the Lord sees, the Lord sees all and he knows everything that transpires in the world. So now I would say, in my opinion, and my opinion is according to the Word of God, Russia's a bunch of goats, hard-headed, mean, hungry, willing to kill men, women, children, and babies even, because they think it's all about them. But Jesus said, you better watch out. You better not pout. You better not... Jesus says, I'm a just God. I see, I know, and I care. And those who belong to me, they've got to pass into the kingdom. Verse 37 said, then shall the righteous answer him saying, Lord, when saw we, and we saw thee and hunger and fed thee our thirst and gave thee drink, when saw we thee a stranger and took thee in our naked and clothed thee when we saw thee sick or in prison and came unto thee. And here's where the song comes. He said, and the king said, the king shall answer and say unto them, verily I say unto you inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least Now these, my brethren, you've done it unto me. Come on, somebody. He said, when you come against a foe who is less than you and you take advantage of them, he said, I feel that. And he says, when I feel it, I take notes. I keep track. They're not getting away with it, just understand that. He said, you managed to walk with me. You cared for one another. You did for the poor and for the needy. And you didn't put them on an airplane and fly them across the country with nowhere to go and no nothing to eat, no place to stay. You didn't do that. You embraced people. You wrapped your arms around them and you welcomed them in to your place, your space, my space. He said, inasmuch as you have done it to the least of these, my brethren. He said, you did it unto me. He said, I felt that. I felt your compassion. I felt your sympathy towards those who had less and who were determined to be in a lower class. I felt it when you responded to them. Now the sheep, they ready for the judgment day. Come on somebody. How about how many sheep here today? How many sheep here today? Ready for the judgment day. Come on. I will ride the chariot in the morning, Lord. And you know why I'm going to ride the chariot in the morning? Because I'm getting ready. Come on somebody. Get ready. Get ready. He's coming. He's coming. He's coming. He's coming. He's coming. Again, so I was not surprised, but it kind of touched my heart. I'm okay. My watch wanted to know if I was having a bit. I wasn't surprised, but it did something in me to see how people can be so unkind using live human beings for a chess piece. People without ability to fend for themselves or defend themselves, they're being used as pawns. And they say to those over in Martha's vineyard, y'all got it good. You don't have no barter next to you like we do. When they come across our barter, we sending them up to you. We're tricking them and sending them up to you. God sees verse 41 said, then shall he say also to them of the left hand, depart from me. Now, Jesus said to the sheep, he said, come ye. He said, you go on with me. But over here he said, depart from me. You cursed into everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels for I was in hunger and you gave me no meat. I was thirsty and you gave me no drink. I was a stranger and you took me not in naked and you clothed me not sick and in prison and you visited me not because you were selfish. You thought nobody existed but you. Everything's about me and mine and that's it. And everything I get my hands on I'm gonna hold on to it and I'm gonna see to it that you don't get none. I hear a couple of amants. I didn't make this up. This is the word. Y'all wanna see it? I got it right here on my paper. Judgment of goats gonna occur and what is pointed out is the judgment that they're gonna receive is they're gonna be cut off from God. Cut off from God. From his mercy for his love from his compassion and he said you get what you get. You're cut off into everlasting fire. Fire that can't be quenched. A fire that can't be put out. But by LAC it's fire. The best. Said that's an impossibility. You've been assigned to eternal damnation. How about that? He said because you wouldn't feed anybody so forth and so on down to verse 44 then shall they all so answer him saying what? When saw we thee and hunger or at thirst or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison and did not minister unto thee then shall he answer them saying verily I say unto you verily means of the most solemn truth I say unto you in as much as ye have done it unto one of the least of these ye did it not to me and these shall go away into everlasting punishment but the righteous into life eternal. Now I want to make this simple Jesus says they're going to go into everlasting punishment. I don't know anybody who likes punishment of any degree. They say there was a child who was disobedient and the parent set the child in the corner turned the chair into the corner so he had to sit in the chair and look at the corner and they say they addressed the child and asked the child are you having a tough time isn't it terrible having to look into that corner isn't this punishment terrible don't you feel bad because I can see it on your face you're sad he said I'm sad on the outside but I'm standing up on the inside we rebel against the least amount of punishment and I see on my pad my Facebook I see people upset because they got a ticket from the police even when they did something they were angry and wanted to fight because they had to pay a few dollars but when you go to eternal punishment in the lake of fire you'll pay the price for all of eternity all of eternity all of eternity I'm getting ready I'm going to ride the chariot in the morning because I want to see my Jesus when he comes I want him to say to me come unto me come on in you did well well done you've been a good you've been a faithful servant enter into the joy of the Lord come on in and have yourself a seat come on somebody anybody ready anybody wanna go the train is getting prepared to load up you can't get there unless the job is done well Lord I was thinking about it and I was it makes me think of the wife's youngest sister she wrote her a letter and she said I'm thinking about getting saved next year she was a little kid now thinking about getting saved next year I'm going to work Lord I know I'm in a mess I know I'm not where I ought to be but I'm planning on getting it straight one day the whining said tomorrow very well might be too late too late too late I want to encourage everybody get your house in order get your house in order oh the Lord loves you wants to have you he came and suffered and bled and died so that you could have the right to the tree of life instead of eternal damnation he said I'm planning on seeing you there when you do what's right when you're righteous I'm not going to leave the good old US of A out amen 14 that we had in our devotion Proverbs 14 verse 30 through 35 it said a sound heart is the life of the flesh but envy the rottenness of the bone these are comparisons he that oppresses the poor reproaches his maker but he that honored him had mercy have mercy on the poor have mercy on the poor now I want us to be careful of getting so fixed on judging somebody who's on the street you don't know them you don't know what caused them to be in that position and you don't know where you're headed because you may be high today riding high in April and shot down in May by next month you may have lost everything that you ever owned so I checked myself I'll tell you y'all do it too when you start to approach somebody and you know they're going to ask you for some money well I'm sorry when you understand that you belong to Jesus you didn't run and capture him he ran and captured you and you're doing much better than you've ever done before not just by hard work or getting into the right college and universities and so forth none of that is what caused you to be where you are it's by the goodness and grace and the mercy of Jesus Christ the righteous who loved you and he said you can't turn your face against people who don't have what you got he said I could have left you down in your sins without a way to be recovered he said I chose you come on you the chosen I chose you I called you unto myself and when I saw you responded to me he said I wrapped my arms around you I filled you with the Holy Ghost and gave you the power to stand up and do what is right he said so I used to hear this when we were growing up we had some people from they say you ain't such a much you ain't such a much you're only what you are by the grace of God and I started to put myself in check I've been a giver all my life when I got downtown working downtown I had to park about four blocks away from city hall and there was always somebody going to catch me before I got to my office and put the bag on me and I remembered what my pastor James A. Johnson said he said the Bible said give to those who ask of thee and to him that would borrow turn not away but he said he didn't say how much to give but give something you need to give something to everybody who ask of thee don't y'all start messing with me I had to try to run and get out of here before y'all start asking me for some money but by the grace of God the Lord has helped me and I give and I tip I know how it feels to be down and I have worked for tips I wasn't always a fireman I wasn't always a carpenter I learned how to receive tips in my youth I just shared with my wife I had forgotten one of my jobs I had never told her about I worked in the barber shop shining shoes and sweeping up hair and welcoming tips so now there should be a spot of compassion in your heart willing to respond to people who are down and out you don't have to give your whole paycheck but help them along the way alright now let me get back to my script here verse 32 the wicked is driven away in his wickedness but the righteous has hope in his death the righteous knows that when they die they own their way to heaven wisdom rested in the heart of him that has understanding that which is in the midst of fools is made known they can't keep their mouth shut here's the verse verse 34 exalts a nation but sin is a reproach to any people righteousness doing the right thing is what causes a nation to rise and when the nation rise they're pleasing God because of their righteousness the king's favor is toward a wise servant but his wrath is against him that causes shame now I want to beat up on the USA a little bit it's a shame before God how people are being treated and we need to pray as never before for our country amen amen you know the thing that is done in politics has something behind it or somebody behind it trying to get more and more for self so that's not the will of God the Lord wants us to live peaceably one with another he wants us to love one another he even wants you to love your neighbor how about that so here's what I want to say in closing in order to escape eternal judgment in the lake of fire we'll be who to get it right talk to yourself say self get it right self you can't go on the chariot when it comes if you ain't got it right you got to live a holy and a sanctified life a set apart life to the kingdom of God and his will righteousness exalts a nation righteousness exalts you but sin will bring you down every single time I love Jesus anybody love Jesus anybody love Jesus anybody have a feeling towards doing the right thing without having to be beaten and driven I'm your shepherd and I'll lead you he said you just follow me and I'll take you on home to the other side hallelujah I want to thank Jesus I want to thank him for what he done I thank him for what he is to me hallelujah hallelujah receive the first lady at this time hallelujah hallelujah thank you Jesus one of the encouraging testimonies I heard this week in fact yesterday or day before yesterday there was a young lady that we know we've been knowing her long time and she's been ill and so she came down she had some kidney problems and then in doing the examination for her kidney problems they found out she had some tumors and they're cancerous and she told them I don't want no chemo I don't want anything done I just want to leave I just want to go and so the person who talked to her asked her say are you ready to meet the Lord she said I'm ready she said I'm ready to meet the Lord other than that I wouldn't say it this but I'm ready she was confident that she's ready spiritually asked are you ready spiritually she said I'm ready I'm asking the questions to you are you ready spiritually if the Lord would come today we don't know when everybody pay attention to me everybody pay attention to me we don't know when God is coming back and we don't know when deaf is going to meet us but the thing about it we must be ready to meet the Lord whenever that time comes we don't know when that time is coming we must be ready to make that flight we all like to fly but there is one flight we're going to take that's going to be eternal eternal whether it's up or whether it's down it's going to be eternal so we got to be ready and another thing God's going to separate the sheep from the goats on the right on the right side going to be the sheep on the left side is going to be the goat are you a sheep or are you a goat self examine yourself today Ashley y'all stop talking come on move over stop talking this message is for you that's my niece so I know her but the devil is trying to get her to talk to ignore what's being said okay that's alright so are you going to be a sheep or a goat someone who's going to follow the path of righteousness who's going to follow the shepherd and God is our good shepherd he said I am their good shepherd I am the door to the sheep fold that's what the Lord said he said I am Jesus said that I am so what I'm saying to you are you going to be a sheep or are you going to be a goat a sheep is one that's going to follow what God said who's going to listen to the voice of God who's going to do what God tells them to do a goat is one that's going to do what they want to do they're going to have a pleasure while they're down here on earth just for a little while because all the pleasure they have down here on earth only lasts for a moment it only lasts for a moment I mean the pleasure they think they're having down here on earth only lasts for a moment even before they meet eternity it only lasts for a moment so you guys decide today are you going to be a sheep are you going to be a goat are you going to do everything in this world that you feel like you big enough and grown enough to do and ignore the one who every breath that you take you cannot even breathe without God you can't breathe without the Lord every breath you take he allows that breath to be taken hallelujah and if he allows that breath to be taken you got to give him some credit and you got to give him some some gratitude or some respect to say I want to be what God want me to be I want to follow the Lord because he could take that breath away just like that because he's the only giver of life and the only taker of life God is the only one that can give you life and the only one can stop you from breathing so you decide today are you going to be a sheep are you going to be a goat are you going to ride in that chair when the time comes and also Bishop was talking about the politicians of that they're goats they're goats they don't know what's right and what's wrong they're goats and their minds are too pigheaded to even learn what God wants them to do what they do of that's why they do that but I want to go back to when Jesus was talking about when I was hungry and all that it's not only the people out in the streets but there's people right in our church who need help and sometimes we see it and sometimes we don't and some of us got money and we can help them and we won't do it but let us not only do for the people that's begging for the heart to give some money to or give something to or give some food to or whatever do that I've done it many times and Lord do that because we can't take nothing back when we leave here you can't take it when you leave here you've got to get rid of it because God can get rid of it for you and you don't want to you can store up and store up and store up somewhere and we don't want to disappoint God we don't want God to be angry at us we don't want to do God to do wrong we don't want to do that God said at least you do it to the least one you do unto me we don't want to do that unto God we got to be careful of how we treat others how we treat our brothers and sisters in Christ how we treat those in the world we got to be careful somebody might come in believe in the way we believe we got to be careful of how we talk to those people when we witness to them when we try to convert them we got to be careful how we do that we just can't go out you're a sinner oh no you can't do that you're loving good passion when you do that you got to leave them with love sure they know they're a sinner already you don't have to tell them they're a sinner they know it already so we have to be careful how we treat everybody even from the pastor all the way down to the youngest child who's the youngest child in here I think Ashley baby is the youngest child in here we have to be careful even our backsliders when they come back to church we have to be careful how we treat them those are the least of one of his those are the least so be careful so this message was not only about getting to heaven but this message was also about our attitude toward people our attitude toward people and our attitude some of us going to lose out on God or lose from taking that fight because our attitude toward people so we got to be careful how we treat each other and people out in the world that's all I didn't mean to get up and say all of that and I want I started saying I want all the goats to come up but I ain't gonna say that I just got you saying you got to be careful but all those who want prayer that the God would get them into the sheepfold bring them back to the sheepfold if you want prayer come up and let somebody pray for you because you can't do it by yourself I'm going through something in my life right now y'all say oh Pastor Bobby you always going through something but see God is working me with everything that I go through and when I found out I wasn't going to tell nobody I said I'm not going to tell nobody but last Sunday when I was up in church up in my office I opened my Facebook and I belonged to this group and I opened it up and I saw the testimony of this one lady and she began to tell me the miracles of God she began to talk about what God did for her and she looked on as she said I have my friends and my family praying for me so I said I called my husband and I said do you think the Lord want me to tell people what's going on in my life he said well yeah maybe so I said I'm only going to tell the prayer warriors that's what I'm telling that that opened up and you know what it did it took a big old weight off of me because I was holding that in me it took it off of me and I was able to relax after that so I'm telling y'all pray for your first lady pray for her amen pray for her I ain't going to tell you what's going on but pray for her amen but God is good so even treating people when you pray for them just pray for people don't judge me because they might be sitting down or they might be not praising like this you don't know what's going on in their life at that time they might be sick they might not be feeling well just pray for them amen don't judge them amen do I have anybody who want prayer just general prayer just pray for me that I be more kind that I be more
