morning and giving us the opportunity to be alive here again so there's a little change on your sermon title today I think in your book I did send up the title down payment on eternity I made a little adjustment we're gonna talk about spot check at the pearly gates and then tonight when this afternoon when we get back we're dealing with the last church and tomorrow morning the last sign those are the two next sermons coming your way of course I'd like to add my welcome to those of you watching online we're delighted to have you wherever you're from some of you're going to bed now in the Cayman lands back home we hope you'll be able to watch this service we do want to recognize your presence and also also want to welcome the leadership of our union with us and we are grateful for your presence here so for the next few minutes that are assigned to me I would like to direct our attention to the question when we should have completed all our labors on earth will we pass through the pearly gates or will there be something that indes us bow your heads with me as we pray Lord Jesus give us wisdom and clarity in your words and speak to our hearts now we pray in Jesus name amen if you have been traveling recently you will notice the minute you walk into check-in to the number of security checks and you'll see signs like this are you carrying prohibited items these items are not allowed in the aircraft cabin you definitely going to come across these signs and they add stuff that you can't carry if in other words in other words if you try to pass through these body scanners you know I hate them yeah I really do every time I have an opportunity to go around them I try but these are body scanners meaning for you to board the flight you have to pass through that body scanner and it checked your entire body and you don't want anything going beep beep because then you'll be pulled aside and you'll be you'll be subject to some serious search and the body scanners are there to ensure that you're not carrying any prohibited stuff right so if you're clear if you pass through the body scanner then you are right and my concern is when when it is time for us to make it to the kingdom of God will we be able to pass through the body scanners or will there be stuff in our lives that go beep beep will we be stopped at the pearly gates so I don't want us to work here and then when we reach there we can board the flight to the kingdom so I decided this morning to take the next few minutes to pull out a few pieces of the text the text in the Bible and and to bring it to your attention that these stuff will not pass through the pearly gates so if you have them or if you're involved in them now is the time to dump them in the bin before you pass through is the church with me yes so so here's some forbidden stuff Paul writes to the church at Corinth Paul says help me read do you not know that they that they that they on righteous will not inherit the kingdom of God and then I like what Paul says then he says do not be dizzy in other words put another way don't fool yourself I love that don't deceive yourself there is no way you can get certain things through this body scanner at the pearly gates don't if you are involved don't deceive yourself you will not pass through the pearly gates involved in what here is it neither fornicators or those oh you don't know so let me tell you these are these are folks who have sexual relationship before they are married they won't pass through oh who else won't pass through idolaters these are people who have their own gods other than the true God of heaven they won't pass through beep beep at the scanner oh these are nor will adulterers yeah who are these these are married people having sex with people who are not there's marital spouse won't pass through won't pass through who else oh no matter what they taught they tell you about homosexual human rights if you having sex with another person of your same gender beep beep won't pass through there's no there's no gay rights in heaven beep beep not passing through oh nor Sada mites now who are those y'all know who Sada mites are oh if you don't know you can Google it when you go home I'll tell you Sada mites says Google are those who have anal sex beep beep won't pass through this is Paul this is Paul this is Paul oh some other people who won't pass through either no thieves won't pass through nor oh this is a most of you know these guys won't pass through this is another one that will some people will deceive their their themselves if you are a member of the church but you are curvatures beep beep won't pass through but who else or nor if you're a drunken or a reveler a party lover party goer or an extortioner you will not help me read you will not inherit the kingdom of God no matter how hard you work in the church beep beep and then Paul says and such were some of you but now praise the Lord come on help me read you are washed and you are sanctified and you are justified in the name of the Lord amen so if you are if you are have been washed by the blood of Christ you have been sanctified meaning you're now stated holy and justified you can walk through that scanner with pride amen cut the blood of Christ has cleansed you ain't no beep beep ain't no beep beep to the church in Galatia Paul writes same thing oh that was to the church in Corinth to the church in Galatia he writes something similar he says now the works of the flesh are evident what are they adultery same thing fornication same thing on cleanliness same thing lewdness lewdness what's that oh I had to check it out it mean people who are vulgar and immoral in their action go-go dancers and strip clubs people and people who are immorally vulgar and loose oh Paul says those people won't make it beep beep people idolatry beep beep sorcery no what's that that's a witch craft worker do you guys have hobby of your working here no I know voodoo is in Haiti in Jamaica they have some of your men do you have other people here no no you're witch doctors am I right yeah what do you call them just which doctor you don't have a you don't have a name for them oh manga Wanganga okay you can tell you won't pass you won't pass you won't pass you I'm hatred so if you come to Nairobi central yeah but you hate another member of your community won't pass through people were contentious beep beep people were jealous jealousy beep beep people who are who love to outburst of wrath the little thing as you say a little thing to them they explode oh beep beep we can't keep we can't we can't have those people in the kingdom because they'll be fight up there no no no no beep beep is the church with me at the church with me this is Paul hey what else selfish ambitions people are selfish won't pass through the pearly gate beep beep beep beep dissensions and heresies ENV murderers drunkenness rebel race and the like none of those passing through of which Paul says I tell you before hand just as I also told you in time pass help me read now that those who what practice is the keyword here those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God I want every member of Nairobi central to be able to pass through so if you are involved if you are secretly involved in these things even though you function at church on Sabbath you may be able to fool the pastor and the Ellen the congregation but when it is time to pass through the pearly gates be beep I'll be too sad so that's why I dropped the warning for you this morning in Revelation is a little set over there last book of the Bible as John writes blessed Henry blessed and are those who do his commandments that they may have right to the tree of life and they may what enter so we have a little clue a little blue screws that if you want to enter through that scanner into the kingdom one of the things you want to do is to ensure that you are keeping God's commandment I would together because if you do that you may enter the kingdom of God why because commandment keeping is not guaranteed into the kingdom or did the pastor said yes yes yes yes yes yes yes mm-hmm commandment keeping was not designed to save us no no no our salvation is in Christ alone I would together commandment keeping is to keep us in following Christ so if you are if you are baptized and you accept the Lord Jesus Christ and you do is commandment you may enter through the gates in the city so I would encourage everybody to end if you haven't started doing that already to keep the commandments as the Lord Spirit of the Lord give you guidance that will help you through I'm gonna tell you what some of the things you need to get you through but but Revelation says outside the gates of the city the rejects our dogs and with the same line in the same line he called dogs they're also what sorcerers what do you call those guys they were Ganga yeah our sorcerers and in the same batch are sexual immoral people and in the same batch are murderers and the same batch are idolaters and look at this and whoever loves and practices what lie yes I think this is my personal opinion I think they are going to be a lot of bee beeps at the kingdom not because of homosexuality or or murder or revelry or no no no I think what will go off is lie yeah you know why because there are too many Christians who belittle lie not a big thing in God's eyes big he says Satan is the father of lies are you with me so when we speak lie Jesus says we become children of Satan and if you're a child of Satan beep beep you can't pass through so if you have been a baptized member of the church and find yourself practicing lie for whatever reason you're going to have a problem at the pearly gates is a church with me yes okay let's move on to the folks at Ephesus so we hear all over the church the same thing comes back again you can't read Bible and no come across these things he says Paul says let all come on let me read let all bitterness and what else wrath and anger and clamor and evil speaking talking bad about other persons Paul says we should we should put those away with something else malice members of God's church cannot engage in malice no matter what they did to you the church of the living God right you cannot so if somebody keeping malice with you all right they can keep malice with you but you're not supposed to be keeping malice with them is the church with me yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah because you function at a higher level it doesn't matter how long you're in this church it doesn't matter what position you have if you are a malice keeper beep beep at the pearly gates you know they are hard-working members of the church but they struggle with something that will go off beep beep and that is my fear as a pastor we're not smoking we're not drinking we're not having having sex out of marriage we're not doing those big things but there are some little things you know in marriage council we say it is a little things that cause the problem Paul says put them away instead he recommends that the church be kind one to another what else tender hearted what else for giving one another even as God for Christ's sake has forgiven you so now now I have I want everybody to turn your eyes on me I have the biggest surprise of all I'm a pastor in this church for 30 years and the more I read the Bible and dig excavate the word is the more I get worried worried for my church and I'll tell you why because some stuff come up in the scripture that just blows your mind and this is one of them in Matthew 25 verse 31 Jesus spoke the stuff you may have read it but I'm gonna give me give me your permission to bore you because I'm going over it Jesus says when the Son of man comes in his glory and all the holy angels with him then he will sit on the throne of his glory and all the nations will be all the nations including Kenyans will be gathered before him and he says and he will separate them one from another as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats then he said he will set the sheep on his right hand and the goats on the left hand left hand okay he says then the king will say to those on the right hand come you blessed of my father inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world is a church with me so he separates the two separates the two group the goats on the left sheep on the right wicked on the left righteous on the right is a church with me good then you'll say to the guys on the right the righteous ones come enter the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world for I underline the word for and I highlight it for in fact I have a whole sermon entitled for for here's what grabs my attention members of the church God is about to give us the condition under which he will let us in the prerequisite for entrance in the kingdom and it seems to me every single person who has heaven on their mind should be studying this text because the prerequisite is there come enter my kingdom for I was hungry and you gave me food I was thirsty and you gave me drink I was a stranger and you took me in I was naked and you close me I was sick and you visited me I was in prison in Nairobi and you came to look for me again again again again here's what troubles me on that list on that list it didn't say come in or you study a Sabbath school lesson frequently come in because you pray every day coming because you're a vegetarian come in because you keep the Sabbath come in because you return faithful tithe and offering the things I'm looking forward for to be in the list that I was taught in church is not there it's not there come in because you have been a faithful preacher of the gospel coming because your whole offices in the church coming no no no no no no no it's not there the things I was expecting come in because you're a Sabbath school teacher coming it's not there come in because I was naked and you close me which means which means which means which means I could study my Bible from day to night I could preach like Paul and sing like angel and hold all the offices in the church I could be in the church for 40 years and dad born in the church and die in the church I can still lose my way because I never I never visited a soul and if I share a bread and if I visit the sick I've never done any of the ministry of Jesus Christ when he was here so here's what fascinating here's what fascinating I love Bible Bible is just amazing the guys who got the green light to come in to the kingdom those on the right when they heard Jesus says come in because you did this thing they were surprised everyone every one of them was surprised they were surprised let's say hold on Jesus verse 37 then the righteous answer message hold on Lord hold on hold on hold on hold on hold on we thank you for let us in letting us in we are grateful that you let us in but we have a little problem because we can't remember come help me we can't remember when yeah we can't remember where when when did we see you hungry and feed you when when did we see you in Nairobi thirsty and give you drink we can't remember when when when remind when when when we have a problem Lord we appreciate the fact you let us in but honestly we can't remember doing any of this stuff to you when did we see you a stranger and took you in naked and closed you when or when did we see you sick that you don't get sick and in prison you have never been in prison and come to you so thank you for letting us in but we can't accept it because we can't to be honest with you we can't remember us doing those stuff amazing and then the King will and this is Jesus talking he says and the King will answer and say unto them I say to you in as Helmer read in as much as you did to to one of the least now who's least not the guys who have everything no no the beggar on the street the person who can't change his clothes this morning the mama who don't know where dinner is coming from hey the people in hospital who have no family member to look for them those who are rotting in the in the prison and nobody comes to look for them but oh Jesus says the least when you did to one of the least of these my brethren you have done it on to me now hear me hear me if that is so then shouldn't Nairobi central be holistically invested in these things so the guys so the forbidden ones the ones on the left who were rejected here is a story with them then he will say to those on the left the goats who line up to come into the kingdom they line up to come in the kingdom oh no no no beep beep what's the problem Lord oh depart from me you curse into what everlasting fire if there is a beep beep on you at the pearly gate my dear friend your destination is everlasting fire this is why this thing is so serious repaired for the devil and his angel why were they disqualified why was there a beep beep at the mercy of the pearly gates for to the word for coming back again for you lose your soul for I was hungry and you gave me no food I was thirsty you gave me no drink I was a stranger you did not take me in naked and you did not close me sick you didn't and in prison you didn't visit me didn't do any of those things you pass me on the road to church and back every morning you had no care for me and they also answer men say Lord that's not fear because we don't know Lord we don't remember when we ever pass you and don't look for you I would all remember you being sick and we don't visit you we don't remember you being hungry and we don't feed you we don't remember so remind us when did we see you hungry thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison and didn't minister you when did you see that happen because we don't we don't think this is fear and the Lord says you will answer him saying I say unto you in as much as you did not do it call that the sin of omission that you did not it's not what you did wrong is what you should have done and didn't do is that make sense yeah so it's not just lying go beep beep and stealing go beep beep an adult you go beep beep no no no if you did not do what you should have done there's gonna be a beep beep and here's where my problem in the church many church member many baptized church member are not aware oh they're not dry not lying they're not stealing they're not beating up their wife they're not doing all these things no no no no no and they feel comfortable that all is well in church oh no but are you doing what is required if not there's a beep beep there's a beep beep and these will go away in everlasting punishment for the righteous into everlasting life so this is a good time to ask you if you are passing through the pearly gates right now right now this very moment do you think they'll be a beep beep take half a minute of my time and and answer that question for yourself you expect of how long you're in the church irrespective of your office based on what we just said a while ago do you think you will pass through beautifully or will there be a problem so if you sense there's a problem the question is how brother preacher how do I guarantee a passage through this body scanner how do I guarantee entrance in the how do I guarantee I don't want to go there wondering whether I'm gonna have a beep beep no no no no no I want to guarantee is there any way to guarantee to pat my bag and know I'm bound for the kingdom hey is there any way to be sure last night we had some folks who were not too sure is there this sermon is for you is there any way to be sure that when all my labor on earth is over I walked through the kingdom well yes I remember in the story of the 10 versions I remember Elder George I remember that the ones that went through without any beep beep yeah the ones that pass through and went into the wedding they had oil in their vessels with their lamps come on say with me they had what oil in their vessel keyword there is what whist whist that's that one word makes the difference between the lost and the safe they had oil in their vessel with their lamps meaning they had extra oil ha that's gonna make the difference between those who go through and those who have the beep beep so what does that extra oil mean says Ellen White it's the watch me it is the abiding presence of who the keyword there the abiding present you know that it's not a temporary visit of the Holy Ghost it is a Holy Ghost taking up residence in your soul are you with me yeah it's not a Sabbath morning Holy Ghost no no no no no no no it's a Monday morning Holy Ghost Tuesday morning Holy Ghost. It's a abiding presence of the Holy Ghost. That's make the difference. If we're going to make it to the kingdom we have to have the abiding present. He was in Texas in verse 10. While they went to buy these guys who didn't have extra oil, the bridegroom came and those who were ready with the abiding presence always, Holy Ghost filled their lives, went in with him to the wedding and the door was shut. So all eyes on me, watch this, watch this. So I was fascinated by this and I realized, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. Very clearly in my mind, very clearly in my mind, if I'm gonna pass through the scanner at the pearly gates, I will definitely have to have, help me preach, have to have what? The Holy Spirit. And so I start to research this thing. And I notice that the first thing Jesus did after his resurrection, John 20 verse 22, Bab says, and when he had said this, he called the disciples together and he did what? Come help me read, he did what? He breathed on them and said what? Receive he the Holy Spirit. Oh, because you can't pass through the pearly gates without him. Says Ellen White on the subject, this was, watch me, watch me, watch me, watch me. I can't preach without Ellen White. This was the initial deposit. Oh, I love this. This was the initial deposit of the Holy Spirit. Can't function in God's church without it, without the Holy Spirit, without him. So the Lord gave him the Holy Spirit. And then I noticed, I kept researching, and then I noticed, oh, he did that just after he resurrected and about to leave, breathe upon them the Holy Spirit. And then we know, we know that he went to heaven and came back, and he spent 40 days after his resurrection. And when he was about to leave permanently, ah, Acts one, something strange happened. In being assembled together with them, he commanded them not to depart Jerusalem, but to wait for what? The promise of the Father, which he said, you have heard from me. And by the way, that promises the Holy Spirit. Here's it, verse five. Help me read. One, two, three. Let's read. For John truly baptize you with what? Pause. There's a comma there. And my English teacher said, where there's a comma, I should pause. Yes, so pause. John already baptized you with water. And I want to talk to Nairobi Central and those of you watching online. If all you got so far is a baptism by water, when you reach the pearly gates, you're going to be a beep beep. And I begin to ask myself, how many members in my church are baptized by water? Full stop. Jesus says, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit, the oil, not many days from now. Ah, ah, that's the only way you're going to make it into the kingdom of God, the Holy Spirit. Verse eight. But you shall receive power when you get the baptism of the oil, you will also receive that word power in the Greek is dunumis, from which you get the word dynamite. You'll get, you'll get, you'll get dynamite power. Amen. To preach the gospel with power, to evangelize with power, to testify with power. You can tell when people have the baptized of the Holy Spirit, you know, because when you have some little fengke fengke preacher, no power, cowards in the pulpit. Oh, I can't say certain things because certain people are going to be offended. No power. When the Holy Spirit comes down upon you, you will receive power when it comes upon you. And you shall be witnesses to me in Jerusalem and in Judea, Samaria, another part of the word. Then it became clear, it became clear to me that we will not pass through the pearly gates until we are fully baptized in the Holy Ghost. No matter how many sabbaths you keep, no matter how strict a vegetarian you are, that's not what's going to bring you through the kingdom. So Jesus says, when he comes, when you get that Holy Spirit, he will, I highlight a word up there, he will what? Guide you. Amen. So watch this. Let me tell you how it works. When the Spirit takes residence in your soul, when you are controlled by the power of the Holy Ghost, when somebody lies on you, you won't lie on them. When somebody malice you, you won't malice them. Is the church with me? Yeah. When somebody speaks evil of you, you won't speak evil of them. No, no, no. Because there's a Holy Ghost power that directs your life. We talk about addiction a while ago. If you're addicted to pornography, when the Holy Spirit starts to take control of your life, he's not addicted to pornography. So he will keep you, he will guide you. If you're addicted to alcohol, the Holy Spirit don't drink alcohol. So he'll allow you to pass the rhombus, singing and marching to Zion. Because when he comes, yeah, that's why the songwriter says, live out thy life within me, oh Jesus, king of kings. When he takes residence in you, the things you used to do, you do them no more. Not you, not you. But because the power of the Holy Ghost is inside of you. Is the church with me? It was just recently, I haven't been in the church for all these years. I'm in this church 45 years now. It's just recently I stumbled on this text. It's in your Bible, has been in my Bible for a long time. I read it, I read over it, over and over and over and over. Didn't see the text. Until one day, I was preparing for some evangelistic sermon and I bumped into the text. There is Paul to the church at Ephesus, Ephesians 1 verse 13, talking about the Holy Spirit. The Holy Ghost, here's what Paul says. I'm going to read it slowly. There's a mouthful. Paul says, in him and that him, that him is in capital H, meaning Christ. In him you also trusted, comma. After you heard the word of truth, comma, the gospel of your salvation, semicolon. Stop a little longer than the comma. Is that all right? Take your time. In whom also, comma, having believed, comma, you were, you were sealed with what? With the Holy Spirit of promise. So any baptized member of the Nairobi central who plans to make it to the kingdom, the first thing that must happen, you must first be sealed. Is the church with me? No. Who does the sealing? Holy Spirit, which means if you have no Holy Spirit, there will be no, is the church with me? But notice there's a comma. The sentence is not finished. Am I correct? How many English, any English teacher here? Any English teacher? Oh, one. I better be careful. The sentence is not finished. Is the church with me? Come on, you'll choir. Watch this, watch this. So when you accept the Lord Jesus Christ and you got baptized and you believe, yes, yes, the text says you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise. The Holy Ghost sealing you. And there's a comma. So I'm going over to the next verse, verse 14. That Holy Ghost who seals you, he is the, he is the what? Guarantee of our inheritance. Hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on. If you use the King James version, the word up there is he is our earnest. And I was using the King James version and I said, you know, he's our earnest. What's earnest? That's not in my vocabulary. So I had to go look it up in Greek, earnest. And the word means another word for it is guarantee. But the definition for it is, it's a watch me, it's an accounting terminology, which means that which you use to make a deposit to hold a contract. Ah, it means, it means, it means, when you go to the furniture store to buy a new bedroom set, but you don't have all the money at that time, they allow you to make a deposit. And when you make that deposit, it seals that contract. Is it church with me? They can't sell that thing anymore. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, because there's a contract on it. So Paul says, hang on, watch this, watch this. So Paul says, when you receive the Holy Spirit in your life, it's a down payment on your eternity. So you are guaranteed to pass through the pearly base without a beat beat. No, no, no, no, no, notice all those accountants in the audience on your congregation. Watch this. Notice what Paul says. He says it's a deposit. Amen. Guarantee in your inheritance until, until, until the redemption of your purchase possession. When will that redemption takes place? When Jesus comes back again. Is it church with me? But until that time, God send the Holy Spirit on those who believe in Him as a deposit on your soul. Whoa. In Jamaica, we say, let that soak, digest that. Whoa. So the Holy Ghost is not about speaking in tongues. It's about a deposit on your soul. So how do I, how would I fit that in? If you sit in church this morning or at home watching via television and you don't have the Holy Spirit in your life, then I'm here to tell you upon the authority of God's word, there is no deposit on your soul. There's no guarantee that you will enter. You are up on the shelf available for sale. No matter how long you were baptized, no matter what activities in the church, no matter what position you held, you are on the shelf available for sale because there's no deposit on you. So here's the appeal then. Is there a deposit on your soul? So, oh, my time is running out. And I have to let you out because some people want their lunch. They'll wrap this up and send you. No, no, no. Now I understand. Watch me. When David mess up with Bar Shiba, you remember that stuff? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. When he had sex with the man's wife and killed the man and committed this huge crime in Israel, David was sure that he's a dead man. So when he went back to the sanctuary and throw himself down and cried out for forgiveness for seven days fasting and wept, he begged God for a couple of things. And one of the things he listed, here's it, Psalm 51. He says, help me read. He says, creating me a clean heart, oh God, and renew the steadfast spirit in me. Then verse 11, he says, and he says, do help me read everybody. Do not cast me away from your presence. And whatever you do to David, David is begging you one thing. Do not take the Holy Spirit from me. Why? Because David understood that's the deposit on his soul. Say, God, I know I mess up, but I'm begging you, leave the deposit on my soul. Don't take the deposit. Don't take the deposit. Because if you take the deposit, David is available for sale, and that all Satan will come for me. Leave the deposit on my soul. And God heard him and left the deposit. If you mess up like David, then I'm here to tell you, ask God for the same thing. God wash me and cleanse me and fix me up. But whatever you do, whatever the consequence of my sin, please do not take your Holy Spirit from me. So how do we receive the Holy Spirit? Just in case, this is my last text, just in case you don't have the deposit on your soul and you would like to get it. How many of you would like to get the deposit on your soul? Lord, I want the deposit on my soul in double portion. Okay? How do you get it? Do you keep the Sabbath to get it? No. Do you return tithing and offering to get it? No. All those things are good, but that's not what gives you the deposit on your soul. Do you have to tarry all night? No. How do you get it? If you want the Holy Spirit, how do you really get the Holy Spirit if you want the Holy Spirit? Do you have to be a good vegan, vegetarian? No. What do we have to do to get the Holy Spirit? Oh, the answer is so simple, it blows your mind. Here's it. I mean, Luke chapter 3, 11 verse 30, it says, Jesus says, if you then be in evil and you know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Heavenly Father give you who? The Holy Spirit to those who? I'm done. Much more, the Heavenly Father to give you the deposit, the down payment on your soul to those who ask. So here is my appeal, very simple. When I saw that text, I went on my knees and I asked God, Lord, just double check. Lord, just double check to make sure the deposit is on me. Amen? Just double check. So here's my appeal. I don't care how long you've been baptizing this church. I don't care what office you hold. None of that will be useful at the pearly gates. Here's my appeal. If you're in the audience this morning and you're not too sure that you have the deposit on your soul, you're making that pledge in the name of Jesus. God, I am not leaving this church today until I guarantee that the deposit in my soul. So I am asking you, send me the deposit because I'm not too sure I have it. If that describes you, may invite you to stand with me. Not to show you have it. Not to show you have it. I want the deposit on my soul. We don't keep church for church's sake. The reason we have church is that when we're ready to pass through the pearly gates, there is no beep beep. Come this Sabbath morning. Come this Sabbath morning. We have a baptismal service. Baptism by water. If I had enough time, I would have told you. I would have told you that every true baptism, Holy Ghosts come down. When Jesus was being baptized, guess what? Holy Ghosts come down. Peter encouraged the folks to repent of your sins, get baptized, and be filled with the Holy Ghosts. Come Sabbath morning. Holy Ghosts will be coming down. And some individuals will give their heart to the Lord in baptism. Can the church say amen? Yeah, yeah, yeah. They will have the deposit on their soul. As I close this message today, I'm going to be obedient to the same Holy Spirit. There are some of you in this congregation that do not yet have that deposit on your soul. Like David, your expressed desire this morning. Lord, you may not even been baptized as yet. Maybe you were baptized and left the church. Maybe you fall weak. Maybe you got messed up like David. I don't know what the circumstances, but if you are worried that the Holy Spirit is not on your life, that the deposit is not on your soul, and you want to testify to whole heaven and earth. God, above all things that you do, I am asking you put that down payment on my soul. I'm going to invite you to come because I'm going to pray with you up here. I'm going to invite you to come. I'm going to invite you to come. I am going to invite you to come. I'm going to invite you to come. Says, hey God, this coming Sabbath. Invite the pastors to join me. Come on up pastors. Hey Lord, this coming Sabbath, I'm putting my life in God's hand. Come, come, come, come. I don't have much time. Come, come, come. I don't have much time. Come. You plan to give your heart to the Lord this Sabbath. Come, come. You plan to give your heart to the Lord this Sabbath. God bless you. Come. Lord, I need the deposit on my soul. God bless you. Come, come, come. God bless you. The deposit on my soul. God bless you, my Jesus. Come. I want the God bless you. God bless you. See you coming on the balcony. God, I'm walking for the deposit. Believe me on the pearly gates. Come. God bless you. Come. Come. Come. It's a long walk. Come. God bless you. God bless you. God bless you. God bless you. See you coming. God bless you. God bless you. God bless you. God bless you. God bless you. God bless you. God bless you. God bless you. God bless you. God bless you. God bless you. God bless you. It's a long walk from the bottom. Thanks be to God. God bless you, God bless you. If I need extra time, I have to have it voted. Can I play some motion for five minutes more? Five more minutes? All in favor say aye. Those opposed, nay. It's Gary. Five. This is life and death matter. This is life and death matter. Good song. This is life and death matter. Hear me, brethren. Hear me, hear me, hear me. Hear me members of the church. Hear me officers of the church. Hear me those who are in Nairobi, wherever in the world you're watching. Hear me. You don't want a beep, beep at the pearly gates. You don't want that. So if you stand in church this morning or at home and you sense that the deposit is not on your soul, this is a moment to step out of your seat. Let it be recorded in heaven. Let you came to the altar and like David you ask God, place that holy ghost in my life. Place that deposit on my life. For the last time, come if that describe you. Come, come, come, come, come. This is between you and God. Come, save your soul. Come, you may be in the church for a mighty long time. Come, God bless you. Come, God, I want the deposit. I want the deposit, I want the guarantee. Yeah, Jesus, in that cross. Come, saints of the living God, come. Is there another, is there another, is there another? If you need help to walk up, just grab a friend's hand and say, come with me. I want to secure my soul salvation before it is too late. This is my final call, is there another? In the name of Jesus come, near the cross. Is there another, is there another? Final call, found me. I told you, this is a thing that I hate. Close the service. We'll sing the third stanza of the same song on the balcony. Struggling your soul, have the Holy Ghost on your life. Sabbath, you have not yet given me a heart to the Lord. And the saints of Nairobi going through. God bless you, God bless you, God bless you. Two more souls for the kingdom. There shall be no beating. We have made our calling on our soul. When I turn over to our host, Pastor, he will assign praying to these folks and give us the instruction, Pastor. Thank you. After prayer, we will request all those of you who have come up front, we will go through this door so that we have a moment to do there and also have a special prayer for you. So those of you who have come here after prayer, we'll join through this door to the other end. I want to invite our leader, Pastor Makori, to come and pray for this team. And just to once again remind, the baptism class after lunch at two, exactly at two, again, we will meet outside there at the tent. We, and try to come as early as possible, we'll see whether we're going to fit there because the number is now of soiling. So that we see whether we are able to fit or not. So please don't waste time exactly at two. Let's all join there so that we have our time together. Let us pray. Eternal heavenly Father, we stand to glorify and praise your name, that in keeping with the teaching of the Bible, that this gospel shall be preached to every creature and whoever believes will be baptized. Now we have been blessed with very many people who have come for baptism. We know it is your command and they have responded to your command. Now we know that as they are prepared for this baptism, you will give the deposit of the Holy Spirit to keep them, to guide them, to bar every evil thing from coming into their lives so that when everything is saved and done and you come a second time, may they find free access into the eternal kingdom. We want to praise your name. Father, speaker was brought your word very clearly and it has come into the hearts of your people and it has appealed to all these who have come here. So now we want to pray that take their hand, work with them as you work with the inoc of old until that day when we shall enter the glorious kingdom which you went to prepare for us. Bless this church that will nurture them. Bless them as they plan to give a nurturing environment. Most of them are young people. We want to ask that we stretch our hands and hold them and help them grow in nurture and admonition of your word, that we shall be available for them when they are struggling with one thing or another in this evil kingdom that we shall be available to give them the right guidance. Bless them, bless the speaker, bless this church and bless all other churches. Bless, pass your blessing through all the come meetings throughout this union and all the unions and wherever they are being conducted to the honor and glory of your name. The good of the church and the salvation of people is our prayer in Jesus' name. Amen.
