 All right, welcome back. So where we stopped was, did not teach the commandments of men. Yes, so the example that I just gave was the parable of the Good Samaritan. So we had to not make doctrines out of our own understanding, right? As teachers, we must be very careful. And then we'll also see later on that one of the instructions is to teach sound doctrine, right? Now, another example I just thought of during the break was this book. And later on, they made a movie as well, The Last Inventation of Jesus Christ, by Mikos Kozan Sakis. And Martin Skosky directed that movie as well later on. But the book is just a, you know, I read it out of curiosity. I really wanted to know what it's all about. And because I know that Jesus was tempted. So I thought it was maybe in the temptation of Jesus Christ and how he overcame that temptation. And maybe even at the Garden of Gethsemane, when the enemy came to try and entice him in a different way. But after reading the book, while I was reading it, I said, this book can just alter so much in Christianity and Christendom. Because the book talked about how Jesus was on the cross. When he was on the cross, he suddenly thought to himself, I wish I could have had a normal life with everyone, like everyone else. And basically the last temptation was that he imagined himself to be, you know, somebody else came and took on his image on the cross. And he got off the cross through the help of some angels. And after that, he went with Mary Magdalene, got married, had children. And so that's what the book thought, right? I thought to myself, this is such a dangerous teaching. And these are nothing but things that people have come up with their own ideologies, their own thoughts. And Paul also writes in his letters, he says, don't ensure sound doctrine. And so it's very important that when we teach, we teach from the word of God. Now, we can also teach from the word with the wrong understanding. So we must be aware. We must ask God to help us as teachers, right? Next point, go teach all nations, all things. And Matthew 28, again, Jesus is giving the commission. He's saying, go and teach all nations, all the things that I have taught you. Go and teach it, right? And so as teachers, we must be willing to go, right? The emphasis is not on nations first. First, the emphasis is on go, right? Meaning go, be available, go and teach. Now, it does not mean that you have to pack your bags and go leave your family and go. What we meant was the word go also refers to that willingness, right? To be available to teach people, right? Now, the next point is very important. The Holy Spirit is our teacher, right? Let's read John chapter 14 and verse 26. John 14, 26. John 14, 26, but the helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, He will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you. Amen. Thank you so much, Rosalind. This is such a powerful verse. And I think as believers, if we really meaningfully walk with this one verse, if we just truly believe it and walk in this, I think God will enable us to live victorious lives, right? Jesus is saying, I will send you the Holy Spirit, who is your helper. He will teach you and guide you into all things. The Holy Spirit is our teacher, right? Now, there are many, many, many instances where I've really not understood why I'm reading certain verses or certain chapters in the Bible. But over time, the Holy Spirit has just revealed it in a way, right? Revealed it and just brought sense to the whole thing. I think one of the examples I can say is, I think it's in Exodus. I could be wrong, but in the people of Israel are coming out of Egypt, Israelites are coming out of Egypt, God has told them, OK, you walk in a certain pattern, right? So I think it could be Leviticus also. So he's saying, the tribes, you have to walk in certain patterns. And when you walk, you walk in this way, and you carry this kind of a flag. And on your flag, this should be there. And walk northwards in so many directions. And I thought to myself, this is too much. I mean, I'm not understanding why is this? What is all this? And then one day, just later on, many, I don't know if it's months or years later, I was reading Ezekiel chapter 1. As I was reading Ezekiel chapter 1, it talked about the throne room of God, right? It talks about how there's a man, there's a eagle, the calf, the lion. And Ezekiel is talking about this throne room and how the glory of God, the holiness of God, and what these images refer to. And as I was just reading it, I thought to myself, hey, is this connected to what's happening there in the Exodus, in the desert? And so I went to Google, our best friend. Went to Google, started typing out, said, what is the meaning of these things? What is the meaning of the Ezekiel chapter 1? And started doing some research and commentaries. And then after doing a lot of research and trying to read and read, I realized that Ezekiel 1, and in Exodus, the way that God expected those tribes, four tribes in each group. Sorry, I think it was three tribes in each group. And the way they walked, the aerial image of all of this was exactly the throne room of God. Now, how that got connected, I myself don't know. Of course, I read a lot about it. But that first thought, is this the same as Ezekiel chapter 1? Is this the same as what's happening in the desert there? Just a thought, the Holy Spirit put it. Now, it's not like the Holy Spirit said, yes, point number 1. This one, point number 2, no. Just a thought. And I had to build on it, I had to go. I had to do the research. Now, many a times, I've got a thought, I've not gone back and done some research and studied about it. But we must remember, the Holy Spirit is our teacher. He will guide us into all truth. He will tell us, why don't you think of it this way? There are so many other examples. There was this, it may be very simple. You may think, hey, how come you didn't know that much? But yeah, I never thought of it that way. I'll read in the book of Revelation. I was fascinated by this whole millennium period. 1,000 years millennium. Jesus is sitting in Israel in the temple. In Jerusalem, he's there, he's sitting. And there are people that you can go, if you're living there, you can go and see Jesus. So I was fascinated with this whole 1,000-year millennium. No sin, no, of course, there will be the natural death. But it's going to be very different. It's going to be a 1,000-year powerful reign. I wonder, I was reading the book of Isaiah. And in the book of Isaiah, it said he will rule with an iron scepter. And it talks about the lion. The lion will sit with a lamb. And I thought to myself, OK. Now this didn't happen at one evening. It happened at different, maybe six, seven months, maybe a year later as well. And suddenly I thought to myself, what Isaiah is talking about? Is it the millennium period there, the lion sitting with a lamb? And I went back, did some research. Mr. Google, did the research, did some studies, went on commentaries, all kinds of things. I figured out, hey, it is. So these are just small things, but it's important things. It's very important things. Now who brings it out? The Holy Spirit brings it out as a teacher and a guide. Now this is only in, I'm talking about in the Bible, there are many, many instances where the Holy Spirit has helped even in my workplace. I'm sure he will help even in each one of you. He teaches us. He teaches us things to do. He teaches us how to do it. So he's the real helper. And so you may be in the workplace, you may be a housewife. And the Holy Spirit can teach you how to manage your time at home, how to manage your work, your different priorities at home, how to effectively manage your home. He teaches us. So the Holy Spirit is truly our teacher. Now the problem is sometimes we look as the Holy Spirit as a teacher only for the Bible. He can teach us anything in every way. He is God, so he's able to do that. But more importantly, he's a teacher in terms of the word and living this life, this Christian life, living holy, living, pleasing, and in God's eyes. This is what he teaches us to do. So don't forget this. We may have natural teachers. In the natural, we have many teachers. Thank God, praise God for them. But our real teacher is the Holy Spirit because he brings that revelation into us. He guides us into truth. A teacher can keep teaching. But when the Holy Spirit illuminates that truth to us, it brings life into us. So yes. Next one, teach with the wisdom of the Spirit. Very important. First Corinthians 2.13, let's read. Let's read actually both the verses. First Corinthians 2.13 and Colossians 1.28. Any one of us can take one verse each. And please read them out. First Corinthians 2.13, Colossians 1.28. First Corinthians 2.13. These things we also speak not in words, which man's wisdom teaches, but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. Thanks, Rosalind. Now, Paul is again telling the Corinthian believers. The Corinthian believers are still in this place of, you know, I'll follow Paul. I'll follow Paulus. I'll follow Cephas as division. Now, Paul is writing to the Corinthian church. He's saying in the first verse that we just read, first Corinthians 2.13, that what we teach was not the wisdom of our own understanding. Paul was saying, no, I could have come to you in eloquence of speech. I could have come to you with great skills of teaching from the Old Testament, bringing out the Old Testament. And we know that the Apostle Paul was a very, very learned man. But what does he say? I didn't come with my eloquence of speech. I didn't come with all my knowledge that I procured studying under Gameliel. And I didn't come with all my learning and reading that happened many years back. No, no, no. I came with the wisdom of the Holy Spirit. Later on, he says, I preached only the gospel among you, right? And that was with the wisdom of the Holy Spirit. That's what later on he goes and says, now, this may not be wisdom for you. It is foolishness to those who are perishing, but it is the power of God unto salvation. So when we are teaching, when we are preaching, when we are doing the ministry, we need to do it with the wisdom of the Holy Spirit. How do we know this? Why is Paul saying this? Now, remember, Paul is writing to the church in Corinth, which is in Greece. And look at the background. They were intellectuals, very wise. They said to Paul, when he was at that aeropagus in Mars Hill, he was standing and saying to an unknown God and all of that, let me preach to you what the true God is. He began to teach them. Other people there said, hey, this is a very nice understanding. You come back tomorrow and talk to us. This is some new things. There's a man named Jesus. He did miracles and he died on the cross. He's alive again. So they were very intellectuals. They wanted to know, okay, you come back tomorrow. You speak to us. There were some people who said, this guy's gone mad. Let's just get rid of him. But Paul came back and he preached the word and he preached the gospel and the church was planted in Corinth. And now he's telling the believers, see, I did not come in my own intellectual wisdom. I did not say, you know, try to defend my faith with people. I think I came simply with the wisdom of the spirit and God did his work. Later on, it says that in the book of Corinth, Corinthians, it says it's wonderful. He began from there. He goes from Corinth. He goes away because they wanted to kill him. He goes away to Ephesus. But what happens is they started small groups. So Paul had to send Aquila and Priscilla. You go to Corinth, you look after the church there only. You'll be there for some time. Right? So we see that there was teaching with the wisdom of the spirit. And when we teach you the wisdom of the Holy Spirit, you know, it'll sound much greater than the foolishness of this world. That's so wonderful, the wisdom of the Holy Spirit is. God is wisdom, right? One of his attributes is wisdom. So when he does something, he does something out of wisdom, right? So we must understand that the Holy Spirit inside us, we teach with the spirit of wisdom inside us, right? Next one, our loved as teachers, we are loved to receive material gifts, Galatians chapter six and verse six. Let's read. Galatians six, six. Yes, anybody please read. Galatians six, let him, let him who is taught the word share in all good things with him who teaches. Share in good things with him who teaches. Now Paul is basically saying here to the Galatians, he's saying, share what you have with others. Now these could be material gifts, these could be spiritual gifts, these could be just empowering, equipping people, share in what you have. Now we must remember that the church in Galatia, especially had a lot of Jews, right? Even though it was a gentile church, it had a lot of Jews, right? How do we know this? Because after the persecution, people were scattered all across and Galatia was kind of the closest. So a lot of people went towards that side and also Paul says, you know, why are you gone back to circumcision when you were saved by the, you know, by the faith in Jesus Christ? And so he's addressing both a gentile church but with a lot of Jews as well. So he was trying to tell them, share in your gifts, whether that is spiritual, whether that is material. Now here's the thing, we must be careful when it comes to material gifts, right? Now let me give you this example. There will be times people will invite you to come teach or preach and they will bless you with some gifts, right? Material gifts, that's good. We can take it as a gift from God and pray for them, bless them, that's all right. But we must never come to a place where we are teaching and preaching on the emphasis of only material things, right? You never come to that place, we must avoid it, right? When you look at the ministry of the disciples and the book of Acts, people themselves came and they said they sold everything, they gave it to the ministry, they came and gave it to the ministry. But if our mind is on the material things and we are doing the ministry, we will fail, right? I was talking to this young boy, young man, right? I asked him, why do you, he said, he was sharing, you know, I want to join the ministry and I want to do something for God. I said, wonderful. I said, why do you want to join the ministry? He said, yeah, I like to preach, I like to teach the word of God, okay? So I asked him, how long, how many, you know, some of the questions I asked, they get upset, but I have to ask them, you know, can't stop that. So how many, what do you do? What do you, how long do you spend time in God's word? How long do you pray? So he said, yeah, I read every day half an hour and I pray every day half an hour. So I said, what do you do the rest of the time? No, I'll be listening to music, worship songs, okay? So why do you want to do ministry? And he said, I like to be on the stage and sometimes I'd want to come home in the afternoon. So, you know, it's not like a nine to five job, office job, so I like that freedom. It's the answer you can make. So I told him, do you know that in the midnight, somebody will have some sickness, you have to get up and go and go to their home and pray if they ask for prayer. You can't say, I'll come tomorrow. And, you know, the reason I'm sharing this is because people choose ministry for wrong reasons. One is, you know, for, okay, so that, you know, I don't have a nine to five job, I can do things on my own. Two is because, okay, people will give, I don't have to work, people will keep giving and I'll keep working and I'll keep doing ministry. I'll go pray for people, they'll give. Now that is the mindset, right? That will change our ministry won't be effective. And it's sad to see that even ministry right now across the globe, and when we look at the West, it's just some of the things are so horrendous, right? Meaning it's so bad where they say, you know, you have to donate so much. You have to give this because we have to buy this. We have to buy, you know, these certain things. And what happens, it's more of out of force and the ministry is not, you know, the mind is changed from teaching, preaching, equipping the believers to receiving, receiving, receiving. Right? And so we must never, never come to a place of choosing ministry because it can be financial gain to us. No, right? It should, you should be in a place where you say, God, I'm willing to do, do the teaching, do the preaching the way you want me to do it. And, you know, Jesus says it so beautifully. Actually, this morning I was reading it. Look at the birds in the air. They don't store up in barns. Yes, the heavenly father provides for them. How much more will he not provide for his children? Now, this again to became another problem. Right? A big problem. People use this verse and say, you don't have to save up. You, God will provide for you, you don't work. God will provide. Look at the birds. No, no, no. You have to take things into context, right? So regarding material things, it's okay when people give, but be assured that your heart is not on that. Your heart is to see believers equipped in the word, to see believers mature into Christ likeness. That is what our heart must be for, okay? Next one, very, very important. Ensure sound doctrine. There's a couple of verses in Timothy. Now, it's interesting to see Paul is writing about sound doctrine to Timothy in three, or actually more than five, six places. And why does he do that? Because now Timothy is looking after the church in Ephesus, where Paul has been there for three years. He's taught them. He's been there for three years, ministering to them. And he's heard of reports of wrong doctrines happening there. So he's writing here, anything. First Timothy, one, three. Maybe anyone else can pull up. First Timothy, six, three. And then second Timothy, four, three. So let's just read those. First Timothy, one, three. First Timothy, one, three. As I urged you when I went into Macedonia, remain in Ephesus, that you may charge some that they teach no other doctrine. Yes. Thank you, Rosalind. The next one, first Timothy, six, three. First Timothy, chapter six, verse three. If anyone teaches false doctrines and does not agree to the sound instruction of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the Godly teaching, he's conceited and this is nothing. Thank you, Jefina. Anyone else can read second Timothy, four, three. For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. So we see these verses, we'll come to Titus 1, 11. Do you see these verses here, right? First Timothy one, all these verses, Paul is saying, they will sound doctrine is very important. So he's telling Timothy, Timothy, we have taught you sound doctrine, but there will be people who will come up with their own doctrines, their own ideologies, own things that their itching ears want to hear. Now you be careful, Timothy. That's when he follows it up and he says, you preach the word, right? Now, why is sound doctrine important? Sound doctrine is important because as a church, as believers, we cannot teach wrong things because it's just going to divide the whole church. Now, there are plenty of examples. Of wrong doctrines that are happening. And some of them are so open that they have tons of people, thousands of people following them. Let me give you this example. I think I've given it to you earlier on, but just, you know, even for me to say it is a problem because I feel so sad for me to say this. There's a man in Australia who says that he is Jesus and he's married to one lady and she says that she's Mary Magdalene. And so he says, he has this, you know, small meetings all in the house initially. He says, and this interview is asking, who are you? He says, yeah, I'm Jesus, I've come back as a human being. The interview is asking, did you die on the cross? He said, yes, of course I died on the cross. So how did you feel on the cross? And the interview was so terrible. I didn't know what to do. I mean, I was thinking, God, why, how can people listen to this? How can they obey this? But listen, you know, he doesn't have hundreds of people. He has thousands of people following him. And the interview is asking him. So you, actually it was a mockery because the interviewer was just laughing throughout the interview because he kept saying, so you chose Peter, tell me how was Peter? And he's explaining. So Peter was like this, tell me how was John? And he's explaining the interviewers giving him the mic and he's explaining. So how did you meet your wife, Mary? Oh yeah, when we were, you know, walking down the fields in Jerusalem, I remember those days. And it was just, you know, it sounded funny, but it was very sad. And now here's the thing. There are thousands of people globally who believe that he's a Messiah, right? And what is his message? His message is not about, you know, repent and believe. No, his message is God loves you. That's a message, right? God loves you. And this is what you can achieve when God loves you. So more of positive talking, positive preaching. Now there are plenty of people who have come up with all these things. Remember Paul is writing to the Thessalonians. Some fellows have come into the church in Thessalonica and they've said, hey, Jesus has already come and gone. Raptures happen. So these people are worried, raptures happen, why am I still here? That means God doesn't love me. Paul, please help. What happens? Paul sits and writes, see, that's not so. It's a false doctrine. Don't believe in that. Why? Because don't you know in the twinkling of an eye, first, you know, first the spirit of lawlessness should be revealed. Who's the Antichrist and after he's revealed in the blink, twinkling of an eye, we will get a glorify. And he explains the whole thing of the rapture. Sound doctrine, wrong doctrine was there during Paul's time. Wrong doctrine is there now. Wrong doctrine will be there even in the future. That is for sure. We must ensure that we teach the right doctrine. It's sad to see that people who are in ministry are losing, especially pastors and leaders, many of them are losing that, you know, that fervor, that passion for God. Many of them even come to a place where they have just turned away from the faith. Why? Why do you think that is? Because the enemy wants to steal the word of God and he will use any means, right? Remember the parable of the sower? He'll use any means. He can use wrong doctrine to steal the joy of God or to steal the word of God from your heart, right? So as believers, ensure we listen to sound doctrine and ensure that we also teach sound doctrine, right? Now, there are wonderful ministries all around, globally doing wonderful work, very popular and all of that. Now that with digital media and YouTube and Facebook and all the things that we have, we must be careful, right? And ask the Holy Spirit to teach us. You may be listening to a message. Ask the Holy Spirit to teach you, to guide you into the truths. God, I'm listening to this. Don't blindly listen to something just because you like what that person or the ministry, we need to ask the Holy Spirit to guide us. Let me give you this example. I won't name the ministry, but a wonderful, wonderful man of God. And I listened to plenty of his sermons and I used to read, I still do read a lot of his books. I'll use this example, I guess. And he was preaching about Jonathan and David. And that was wonderful. We've had thousands of, or hundreds of sermons on Jonathan and David, I was just listening to it. And as he kept listening to it, 10 minutes down the sermon, he started saying, Jonathan and David were not really friends. And I can prove to you why they weren't friends. And so he kept on preaching. And we know that Jonathan and David were soulmates, right? They were good friends. But he brought out the whole thing of three out of five times. Only Jonathan knew where David was. So how did Saul get to know, right? So the whole sermon was, Jonathan was like a backstabber. He pretended to be David's friend, but he went and complained. And he told Saul, his father that, you know, David is hiding here. And David, and Saul was able to come in, try and capture him. Now, we know that's not true, right? Being the king of Israel, how long will it take for him to find one man? He has thousands of soldiers under him. He'll be able to find. But what if somebody has just blindly, or just believed it? Oh, yeah, true, no? Three out of five times. Yeah, true. That means David and our whole new doctrine has started off, right? So we must be very careful. I'm sure many of us have heard, may have heard sermons or teachings. Be careful, ask the Holy Spirit. Is this true? God, Holy Spirit guide me, speak to me. Is this something that is in line with what you want me to learn? Is it in line with the word of God? And what does the Bible say? The Holy Spirit will guide you into all truth. He will tell you, okay, no, you take this, don't take this, right? He will guide you into all truth. Sometimes he'll put a disinterest, you know? It's okay, you listen to this, or don't listen to this for now. He has ways of leading us, right? Now, next one, women teachers. This is a big problem, let's read. First Timothy chapter two and verse 12. Let's read. First Timothy two, 12, Titus two, three and four. First Timothy two, 12, and I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, but to be in silence. Next one, Titus two, three and four. Thank you, Rosalind. Likewise, teach the older woman to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good. Then they can train the younger woman to love their husbands and children. Thank you, John. Now, what is happening here? One, he's saying to Timothy, Timothy, I don't allow a woman to preach. Now, the whole, you know, in Christian women, you should not preach, you should not teach. So, and it's prevalent now also, and not only here, not only in India, but in all other nations as well. We must take this into context, right? And I'm sure we've learned about this in hermeneutics and why Paul is saying this, you know? It's more to deal with the place, Ephesus and, you know, a place where people who are, the women who are coming were, a lot of them were temple prostitutes. They were used to places of prominence. They wanted to be prominent. They were wanted to be in the limelight or they wanted to be the center of attraction or center of attention, more than one, right? So, Paul is saying, okay, Timothy, don't allow them to preach for now. Hold on. Now, if you look in other places, has Paul chosen women? Definitely he has. Aquila and Priscilla. Phoebe, Lydia from plenty of other leaders preached. Phoebe preached the gospel, preached the word, right? And Aquila and Priscilla were looking after the church and Corinth later on, they looked after the church. They went even to Rome. They were ministering together. So, we must take the text, put it into context, right? The reason is because of the background of the women during that time. Probably what he was trying to put across was they've just come in, give them some time, let them grow spiritually, let them become mature, let the things, you know, they have received Christ, but there are things in the mind that has to change. They have to mature and Christ. So, don't allow them to preach for now. Give them some time, right? Now, we've taken this into wrong context. Now, if you see even in the Old Testament, women were there, why did God use Esther? God could have used somebody else. So, we've come to this place of, no, it should only be men. And because of this one verse, no. So, we must always take a text and compare it to the entirety of God's word. Is it in God's nature to use tell women not to preach? Definitely not, because God wouldn't have used women in the Old Covenant, not in the New Testament, right? So, we should be able to come up with good answers for these questions as teachers, right? It may come to women covering the head. What about feet, wearing shoes and entering the church? What about, you know, divorce? What about, God says, I hate divorce, but what about, you know, if a couple is, if a man is abusing his wife and beating her up and she's just okay with it because God says, I hate divorce. So, we must be able to teach, right? Give people good answers, the ability to, you know, teach well, right? And that's the next point, the ability to teach well. You must be able to put across our thoughts, our words, whatever we have learned, prepared to put it across in the right way, right? Next, raise up teachers. Second Timothy 2-2, yes, anyone can please read. Second Timothy 2-2, second Timothy 2-2, yes. And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses, entrust to reliable men who will also be qualified to teach others. Thank you, John. What you have thought, seen me teach and preach, entrust to others who can do the same. Now, I like the word entrust. Entrust means to hand over to others, first fully hand over to them, right? Raise up teachers, raise up people who can teach and develop this whole thing of teaching. Now, in the book of Acts, we see that's what happened in the church in Antioch. Why was the church in Antioch so successful? In a short period of time, they were able to send out apostles, prophets, evangelists. They raised up many, many, many leaders. Why? Because they had teachers and leaders who taught them excellently. Barnabas, well taught and Paul, the apostle, well taught. They taught the word of God, they preached, they raised up leaders and we see the sign of a great leader, then apostle Paul. The sign of a great leader is to raise up other leaders. Paul did it brilliantly. He raised up many, many leaders, right? So many, so many leaders. He was able to raise them up and, you know, he took a 17-year-old boy, Timothy, took him everywhere. By the time in the end, he put Timothy in the most difficult place, okay, Ephesus, you look after, you have seen my life from the time you're a young boy, whatever you've seen me do, you go and do it in the church. Raising up leaders, raising up teachers, encouraging, and this is the greatest sign of a leader, greatest sign, the greatest sign of a leader is the number of leaders you can raise up. Not how many sermons we have preached or how many sessions of worship we have led or how well we can teach, all that is good. The greatest sign is how many leaders we can raise up to continue the work. We're not gonna stick around the whole time, right? There's gonna be a next generation, right? And the next generation is sharper, stronger, wiser in every way, right? I got my seven-year-old son. He says, he came up to me and he says, you know, I wish I was Elijah. You know, Dara, I wish I was Elijah. I said, why? Because he called on fire, no? So there's some things I don't like. It just, I said, no, that's not how you can do things. No, but still he also prayed and the Ravens came and I was wondering for where did he learn all of this? Because he's going to children's church, but you see the understanding is very different, right? That he came up to me and he said, I spoke to the Holy Spirit just now. There are some things I need to speak to you about and I said, okay, he's seven years old. I spoke to the Holy Spirit. I said, where is he? Is there inside me? You're teaching this, you don't, you know? Is there inside me? I said, okay, good. He's just showed me, he's speaking to me right now. So I'll talk to you later, you know? And I was like, you know, when I was seven years old, probably playing with toys, but the next generation is way above, way, way above. The questions they come up with, he asked me once, you know, is Jesus a white or a black? I said, it doesn't matter. He's Jesus, whether he's white, black, no, but he was a person, no. He was a human being also, no. So tell me, was he white or black? See, the Jews are usually this color, so he was not white, no, black, he was brown. And, you know, oh, see, he was like us. You know, the understanding is so different. The way we receive things in the gospel and now the next generation, we must be willing to give them answers. We must be willing, right? So raising up good teachers is very important. Finally, last point, there will be false teachers. Second Peter chapter two and verse one. Yes, anybody can read. Second Peter two and verse one. Second Peter chapter two, verse one. But there are also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign law who bought them, they'll get shit destructions on themselves. There will be false teachers who will secretly come in between and they will deny everything that has been taught. I mean, secretly they'll come. So we must be aware, right? When Revelation talks about how the Antichrist will, you know, will send out teachers and false teachers, right, who will say, okay, no, he's not the Messiah or, you know, this is the truth. You listen to this, listen to him. He is the greatest man. He's the, you know, the Antichrist. He's the Messiah. He can do great things. He will take you. He will help you in every way. And the Bible also says that with their false teaching, there will be signs, miracles and wonders. They'll be able to do all of that. You know, can you believe that, you know, when Moses threw the stick down and became a snake, but even those other two threw their sticks down, they became snakes, right? Spirits of divinity, false spirits, false teachers will come. But as God's children, we have this assurance that the Holy Spirit is inside us who will guide us to all truth, right? The false will be taken off. He will guide us. Right now in this coming generation, we have people who are saying, Jesus is, you know, just a man. He was not, he's not the Messiah. Or, you know, this is what the Bible is. It was just a false book. Somebody has just written it. How can it be? So how can it be that all of them have written and, you know, this writer said something and all kinds of things, ideas and strategies the enemy can use to bring false teaching, right? How this is what one person, what a good friend of mine, he came up to me and said, how can we turn into something in the blink of an eye and meet on the clouds? It doesn't make sense, you know? Because I heard that the rapture is not going to happen. He's a believer, right? And I believe that the rapture is not going to happen. So he's saying that to me. He's saying it doesn't make sense. Because when you think of it, you die, you go to heaven, that makes more sense. Why all this rapture in between? So all kinds of teachings will come, erroneous teachings. Anything that is even a little bit diverted from the truth is false. There's truth, there's false. It can't be bit true and bit false. It's either true or it's either false. And so as teachers and ministers of God, we must be willing to, you know, see what is false, see what is truth and speak it out. There'll be people who come and say, there's no heaven, there's no hell. This is only hell, earth only is hell. All these kinds of things, right? So be willing to be prepared and to teach the true gospel, the true word of God, right? Okay, any questions, any thoughts? I know I've been talking too much. Didn't get to hear from any of you. Maybe next week, what we'll do is we'll keep it open for some time to share our thoughts. I would love to hear from each one of you, like what do you think about this whole ministry of teaching? So, and probably learn from each other as well, so. Right, so we've run out of time. Let's quickly close in prayer. All right, let's pray. Father, we thank you for this time. Lord, we thank you for your word and I pray God that you will continue to teach us, lead us and guide us, Lord. Bless each one of us, Lord, and help us and use us for your glory. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen, amen. Amen, thank you everyone. Have a great week ahead. God bless you.
