 One of the most important preparation of a minister of the gospel is the clear understanding of the gospel. Okay, so you're in a Bible school, al-Qaeda, and what if you keep on learning so many things and the only thing you don't understand is the gospel. Everything revolves around the gospel of salvation. The gospel of the kingdom and the gospel of salvation. The first preaching of the gospel of Christ is necessary for us to really understand what is the concept of the gospel. Like, for example, if I would ask you, according to you, you notice this, there are some definitions that you learn, but it is not the definition of the Bible. You understand that? Because some of your definitions come from other people, not the right source. Remember what is the meaning of truth? I am the way, the truth and the life. It means I am the original source of right information. Original right information. Truth means original right information. So when Jesus, I am the truth, he said, I am the source of original information. And you know how powerful is the truth? The Bible said, you shall know the original information. Original right information. And that original right information will what? Will set you free. So what people set free? The original information. What if you made up the gospel? Therefore, it's no longer the original information. Let me read the passage in the Book of Galatians chapter 1 verse 6 to verse 9. This is the problem of the New Testament church about the gospel. Listen to this. I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you to live in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel. So this is their problem since then. But more now. Which is really no gospel at all. You see that? You are turning to a different gospel which is really no gospel at all. Even evidently, some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preach to you, let them be under God's curse. As we have already said, so now I say again. If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let them be under God's curse. It's bad to produce wrong gospel. You will be cursed. Because what we believe is crucial to how we follow is specifically what we believe about the gospel. So let us ask the question. What is the gospel? Because remember this. What you believe about the gospel is going to determine how you follow as a disciple. This is crucial. What is the gospel? So then I will try again. What is the gospel? Would you like to try? You know you are born again because of the gospel, right? So what is the gospel? You want to try? The gospel is the good news that we are set free. So we were once captives but now set free. Okay. For him that's the gospel. Let's go here. Do you believe in the gospel? So what is the gospel you believe? Can you explain to me what the gospel you believe? The word of the kingdom? What about you? What is the gospel to you? Repentance, baptism and faith. Okay? That Jesus rose from the dead. So that is her gospel. What about you there? What about you? Do you believe in the gospel? What is your gospel that you believe? Okay? That's your definition of the gospel. What about you, mam? What is your gospel? Jesus Christ is? Okay? That is her gospel. If I will ask everybody, you are telling me deeper in gospel now. So what's the meaning of this? So once we have like 10 unbeliever here, who will preach that right gospel? Probably the 10 answers people said, what is the gospel? So you explain your gospel, you explain your gospel. Probably the guy will tell you what's happening here. They all graduate from the same Bible school? Yes? Why come your deeper in gospel? Because clarity was never reached by people who want to preach the gospel. So I always experience this. I have to clarify something. Okay? Are you listening to this? Somebody ask me, Pastor Riel, what is your gospel? I'm excited because I know the gospel. Of course people will tell you, the gospel is the good news. What's the good news about the good news? Right? You tell me the good news. What's the good news of the good news? Preach the good news. What's the good news? Jesus died for me. What's the good about it? The preacher go and he said, Jesus died for me. So what? Because the clarity is not clear. So what is your gospel? Jan. 316. And personally for God's soul of the word. I want you to preach the gospel. I want to share the gospel to you. Okay? What is your gospel? For God's soul of the word. What's the good news about it? Yes, I know God loves me. So what? The good news you have to explain to them what's the good news about the good news. Okay? Are you ready for the good news now? Because you're going to preach the gospel now. 3 words. 3 R. 3 R. The first R, the gospel redeems your life. That's what makes it good news. Number two, the gospel renews your life. Number three, the gospel restores your life. Sounds good news now? Sounds the gospel now? You have to be fluent on the gospel. The gospel one, redeems me number two. What? Renew me number three? Wait a minute. That three word is very powerful. What is the first word? What is the second word? How come you tell me you are a Christian and you believe the gospel and your life has not been changed? That's not the gospel. You're on drugs. And now you are born again still on drugs. Where is the gospel there? You mean the gospel don't change your life? You see that? You have to preach the right gospel. What if you preach the gospel for God's soul of the word that He gives? Did you see the redemption there? Do you see the changed life there? Do you see that life was restored because of the blood of Jesus? The gospel is three R. So the next time you preach the gospel, you better explain the gospel. I will be preaching you once in darkness, but Jesus died for you. His blood was paid for your sin so that He could translate you from darkness into life. He want to redeem your life from curses to blessing, from bondage to freedom, from broken to wholeness. From curses to blessing. That's what redemption did to your life. So that if anyone inquires, he's now a new creation. The oldest gun and the new has come. God renew your life. And the reason why he redeem you so that he could change your life so that he could restore back the original design of your life. Is that a good news? Who will not say no to that good news? Preach the good news. And the people at the Bible said, you are now turning to a new gospel. Because the gospel you listen does not change your life. The gospel you heard is not taking you back to your original restored life. How come you go to church and still you are beating your wife? How can you are in the church, you become a Christian still on the pornography? What happened to the gospel? God has redeemed you from darkness into the marvelous life? Why you are still going back to darkness? Why you are still in bondage of sin? How come weekly you've been delivered and deliverance and deliverance and deliverance? Do you hear the gospel properly? Oh, you just heard the wrong gospel. I think someone preached to you the wrong gospel. Everything starts from the gospel. The gospel redeems my life. The gospel renewed my life and the gospel restored my life. And when I said, renewed my life, I'm ready for the vision. Come on. I'm ready for the strategy of the gospel. I can become original design. The original design is Genesis 1.28. I will be productive. I will multiply. I will conquer. And I will lead. I was restored to go back to the original design. You must be fluent on this gospel. I promise you, you will preach differently starting today. Because you will preach the true gospel. We no longer just, the gospel is just Jesus loves you. What's the good news? But when you said, if you believe in the gospel, God can set you free from the kingdom of darkness into His marvelous light. The good news is Jesus died on that cross to redeem you. You have to tell what happened to the cross. That's the place of your redemption. Amen? Second, if you believe in the gospel, now you have the chance to change your life. You don't suppose to go back to your darkness, to your old life. Because God has renewed you. That's the gospel right there. How many of you are learning something different here? You're learning something different, right? Do you like the gospel now? When I learn this gospel, I'm excited to preach the gospel. Because now it's clear to me, by revelation, these people need a gospel. The tri-city need a gospel. They need to be redeemed. They need to be renewed. They need to be restored. Why suffer because of sin? Why dying go to heaven? Why Jesus' blood has already been shed at the cross for you? You can be restored. This is the good news of Jesus Christ. I can't help myself to share the good news. Because it was so good. It's the gospel. That's how beautiful is our gospel. That's why we become a pastor because of this gospel. It's a good, good, good, good news. Super good. Can I? I can say that you're excited to preach the gospel right now. You're looking for somebody. I want to share to you the redemptive plan of God to your life. You can change your life. You can be restored. You see, people are hopeless. They were broken. They live by their parents. They're living alone. But you will tell them, don't worry. Don't worry. Jesus died for you. He restored your life. He can renew your life. You just need to give your life to Jesus. You just need to change the way you think. God loves you. God can redeem you. God can change your life. And God can restore back your life. Tell me, who will not believe in that good news? Tell me, who will not share that good news? I tell you, when there is clarity, there is purity. When there is clarity, there is an excitement to share the gospel. How many of you are excited to share the gospel now? Amen? Because what Pastor Blood tell you? You preach on Sunday the gospel. I have to memorize a lot of verse. No, you don't need to do that. Just redeem, renew, restore. Every church people, when they hear the 3R, they said, that's a good news for me. You want to give your life to receive redemption, renewal, and restoration. That's a good news for me. We don't give you religion. We give you one, redemption, number two, renewal, number three. Are you learning something here? Can you preach the gospel now? Is it clear? You no longer preach another gospel. Because if you preach the wrong gospel, you will be cursed. Amen? You're getting the original gospel now. The redemption was paid by the blood of Jesus. Without the remission of sin, there will be no redemption. Amen? If anyone is in crisis now, a new creation, the oldest God, and the new has come. You know what's the meaning of the new has come? The new word is not fresh. The word new means back to your original design. Hallelujah. So don't tell me you are born again and you don't trust God. You know what's the meaning of original design? Go back to the Old Testament and watch Adam and Eve. No mama, no papa, no pastor, no evangelist. Where do you get information? The original design and I was designed by God to get only the source of information to him. I was born to trust my God. That's my original design. So when you believe the gospel, you rely. This book of the law should not depart from your mouth. You have to meditate on it day and night and by carefully obeying everything that is written on it, you shall succeed and you shall prosper. That's the original design. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding in all your ways. That's Adam. Without a friend, without a mother just by himself, he knows the original information coming from God. He knows how to trust God. He cannot rely on anybody. The only person he trust is the God of heaven. When you are born again, if anyone is in Christ, he is now a new creation. The old has gone and the original is back. Can I have it, amen? Are you original? The original is this. I am fruitful. I will multiply. I will conquer. And I will lead. That's my original. Because before I come to know the Lord Jesus Christ, I am unproductive. I multiply trouble and problem. I was conquered by all vices and rugs and I was become a slave to sin. But when God redeems you, he changed the way who you are. He restore you now from being unproductive. You are getting ready to be productive again, to be fruitful again. Amen? From multiplying, from multiplying problem and difficulties, now you will multiply your productivity. You will conquer every difficulties in your life. You have the ability to conquer everything. And now you become a leader. Because you are born to lead, to original. Tell your neighbor, I'm back. Full blast. How many among you, you are back. So when you are born again, when you are a Christian, the gospel do a lot of things to you. No, do you understand what is the gospel? What will it do to you? Huh? And now you want to backslit? Come on. You don't understand the gospel. Now, are you familiar with Second Corinthians 517? What is Second Corinthians 517? You have to master that verse because that's the place of your redemption. If anyone is in Christ, he is now a new creation, the oldest God, and the new has come. It's not just a changed life. It's going back to your original design. You got that? Amen. Any pastor who teach you Second Corinthians 517, and if he don't continue from verse 17, that pastor is failing to teach you. Because 17 is the starting point. There is verse 18, 19, and verse 20. Now watch this, okay? Now you are in Christ. What happened? In Second Corinthians, are you still here? In Second Corinthians chapter 5 from verse 18 or from verse 17, are you still here? Second Corinthians chapter 5 verse 17. Okay? Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come. The oldest God, the new is here. Now look at verse 18. When you interpret the Bible, Second Corinthians 517, you will misinterpret that if you don't connect to verse 18. So what is verse 18? All this is from God who reconciled us to himself through Christ. And gave us ministry of reconciliation. Meaning to say, anybody who believe on the gospel, and now you believe on the gospel and the Lord bring you back to your original design, your design now, God gave you a ministry. It's not music ministry. It's not dancing ministry. It's not multimedia ministry. What ministry God gave you? The ministry of what? Ministry of reconciliation. Imagine the believers come to church and they were born again. They got the new creation idea verse 17, but the pastor failed to connect to verse 18. Now that you are born again, God gave you a ministry. Every one of us was given this by God with this ministry. What is our ministry? Reconciliation. Reconciliation. So what is your ministry? Ministry of what? Reconciliation means helping people find their way back to God. That's the evidence that you are born again. You are helping people finding their way back to God. Because when Adam was created by God, he is representing the kingdom of God. Do you know that? Now you are born again, you have to represent the kingdom of God. So it's normal po us to become the middle man. We reconcile people back to God. That's my ministry. And then verse 19, are you still following? That God was reconciling the word to himself in Christ, not counting people sins against them. And he committed to us the message of reconciliation. You see, you have, when you are new in Christ, you go back to your original, you become a minister of reconciliation and you carry a message of reconciliation. Ministry plus message. Come on. This is not for Bible school student and pastor only. Every Christian must carry the ministry of reconciliation and you must have the message of reconciliation. You see, that's why the Bible said it's the gospel because that's the message of reconciliation. What is the message? The gospel redeems me. The gospel renew me. Number three, the gospel restores me. That's the message of reconciliation. Now look at verse 20. Therefore he said, in verse 20, we are there for what? Christ what? Ambassadors. We are there for Christ ambassador. It means representative of God here on earth. Why? Because God has restored you already to your original design. Now you have, you are given by God an assignment. You will carry the ministry of reconciliation and you will carry the message of reconciliation. Now you are now an ambassador of Christ. That's the meaning of ambassador. Are you learning this? Now you understand 2nd Corinthians 517. Because if you don't connect verse 18, 19, and 20, you will misinterpret 2nd Corinthians 517. That's why most people, when they come to know the Lord Jesus Christ, they thought when they come to know, they will just join the ministry music, dancing, and they thought that's their ministry. There are many dancers and singers with no disciples. They don't know how to present the gospel because they were taught wrong. We have to bring the original message to them. Are you excited to become a minister of the gospel? Amen. So, you are an ambassador? How many more you are ambassadors? Why do you become an ambassador for Christ? Because you have a ministry. What is your ministry? Ministry of reconciliation. So you have a message? Yeah, I'm representing the kingdom of God. I have the message. Hey, the kingdom of God told me that you can be retained. You can be renewed and you can be restored. You can go back to your region. That's a good just for you. I represent heaven. I came from heaven. That's the gospel right there. Do you learn something here? So let's ask this question. How do you call this place? How do you call this place? Somebody said church building, wrong. This place is an embassy of the kingdom of God. Are you an ambassador? So what is this place? Embassy. Is this an embassy? Yeah, because this is where we train the ambassadors of Christ. And they are getting ready to do the ministry. They will bring the message of heaven to those people who are dying who need the gospel of Christ. Ambassadors, ambassadors, ambassadors. By the way, when you are an ambassador, I got an ambassador friend. It sold me. If you're an ambassador, the sending country will take care of you. The only thing I do is just represent my country. I don't say any words or anything unless my country told me to do so. And they take care of me. They pay for my house, for my car, for my gas, for my bills, for my children. Everything was taking care of my sending country. And I want you to do this. You don't need to worry about your future. Because you are an ambassador of Christ. He will take care of you. Amen? He will take care of you. But if you misrepresent the kingdom, you cannot represent him. So you better get the right information only. Amen? Don't change the gospel. Don't forget the vision. Don't forget the strategy of Jesus. Because you are his ambassador. Oh, hallelujah. How many of you are being healed right now of the way how you look at yourself? I can sense that somebody is getting healed right now. Somebody is being set free without praying for you. Because truth can destroy the bondage in your life. Someone is setting a set free all your fears, all your doubts. I don't know what will happen to my life. You know what will happen to you when you become an ambassador of Christ. You don't need to worry. Just represent the king. Hallelujah. Amen? How many of you want to preach the gospel now? It's getting clearer right here. Amen? So now you know the vision. You know the strategy. Now you understand the gospel. You are getting ready. What's the reason you graduate from a Bible school and you don't know the vision? You don't know Jesus' strategy? And you don't even know the gospel? You understand this? And then you graduate and said, what do I do? How many of you are blessed to be here? I think God wants you to be here. Because God wants to prepare you to get the original information. Now you are getting ready. I'm excited about you. Amen? And I want you to hear this. You must be fluent on the gospel. Fluent. Fluent means I fully understand the gospel. I don't need a note. I can explain it to you. Because most people will, I want to share the gospel. And I said, what are you talking about? Wait a minute. I'm taking my notes. You are not fluent. When you are fluent, you don't need the notes. Am I fluent? Do I have my notes? I've been teaching you since morning. Because I'm fluent with the gospel. Because when you are fluent in the gospel, they can beat you down, still you preach Jesus. Because they cannot take it away from me. It's there already. I don't need a notebook to preach the gospel. I don't need a notebook to do the vision. I don't need a notebook to do the strategy where ever God put me, and I will apply the vision wherever I go. Are you listening? You have to be fluent in the gospel. I'm a Filipino. I don't know. I'm not fluent in English. You know how I learn English? I don't go to the school to learn English. You know what I did? I joined people who speak English. That's where I learned how to speak English. You don't learn the gospel by lesson. You learn to be with people who believe the gospel. And there you will understand the gospel. You will begin to see all these people know how to redeem people. Someone is bad, committing sin, but they are so forgiving. They are so forgiving. They give people a chance. Why? Because they carry the gospel Say amen. They try to help people to change their life because that's who we are. We carry the gospel of renewal, amen. And you try to help people to be restored in their life. They used to be drug addicts. You help them to be restored because they carry the gospel of restoration. So when you go to myself, to our community, exactly you will be changed because of the gospel. First you need to be fluent on the gospel content. Be fluent on that. Do you know the gospel now? You know the gospel, right? So what is the gospel? The gospel redeems me. The gospel renews me. And the gospel restored me. Imagine you tell your own story. I was redeemed. You see? You don't need an outline at all. You see? I want to share to you my story. Do you know how God redeems my life? Do you know how God renews my life? And you know how God restore my life? When someone hear you talking like that, I want that. I want that good news. Please share to me. Because you preach the right gospel. People will hear it and they will be changed and transformed. I mean, it's not going to be hard. It's more easy to share the gospel because you understand the gospel. When you become fluent with the gospel, you can bring the gospel wherever you go. Do you learn something here? Amen? You will never feel like I wish I am Billy Raham. I wish I could be like Stephen Fertigl. No, no. You don't need to do that. I am who I am because of the gospel of Christ. I have my own story to tell. I have my own experience of the gospel. And I am a preacher of the gospel because it happens to me. I was renewed, I was redeemed, renewed and restored by Jesus. I know what is the gospel. Can I have a man? Do we preach the gospel? Not the other gospel. This is our gospel. Can I have a man? What is the other part of the gospel? Think about this. Do you know the gospel as a system? When you preach the gospel and when someone believes the gospel, the content, you have to bring that person to gospel community. That's why we have cell group. We have life group. We have church because every believer of the gospel must join the gospel community. Come on, say it again, gospel community. Once more, gospel community. That gospel that never carry gospel community is not the true gospel because every gospel believer must go to his family. Now you are born in the family of God. Where is your family? There is no such thing Christian isolated by himself. You can't do life alone. So don't just master the content. Don't just be fluent with the content of the gospel. You must be fluent on gospel community. You must learn how to run cell. You must learn how to disciple people because they will be joining the gospel community and when they join the cells you will teach them how to live in the community. I told you we're going to live according to the culture of the gospel. Can I have your amen? Where do I learn redemption? By preaching or by experiencing in the community? Right? We forgive our parents. We forgive our loved ones. We forgive our brothers. We forgive. We forgive. Why? Because we understand that the gospel we forgive other people because I am forgiven by God. The gospel teach me to reach out to other people for restoration because that's the gospel teach me. They will only learn that if they are in the gospel community. Are you part of the gospel community? Are you part of the small group? Are you part of the church? So no one person said he is a Christian but he got no church. The number one quality is that the disciple he loves his church. He loves his family. He loves his gospel community. When I said you love your gospel community you protect your community. When somebody say bad things about you or about somebody or brother he said don't do that in front of me. I can still remember I have one disciple. It's a holiday because it's a holy week. So I go to church building and I said I thought there was nobody there because it's a holiday. So holy week. When I reached the church building I said there's a lot of people here. Pastor we decided to come to church because it's holiday. So I thought I will be there alone by myself but there are people and then suddenly there was a commotion because what's happening Pastor one appeared to smack the face he punch him in the face nose are bleeding What? It's one of your 12. I wanted to call my disciple he came up to my office and why do you do that? You are my disciple. We are Christ's disciples. Why you punch him? Pastor I'm very sorry I'm tired of listening to this guy speaking bad things about you. I punch his face. I said what? Because he always talk bad things about you. I punch him. I said that's my boy. That's community right there. You don't talk bad about my pastor. I will give you my five fold ministry. Are you willing to protect your pastor from those people who bad mouth them? That's your community. That's your family. Amen? You say bad thing about my pastor honestly I will activate your dental insurance or your life insurance. You don't bad talk bad about my family. You understand now? Don't say bad word about my leaders. Either I pray for you or punch you with love and with much annoying thing. Nowadays we don't understand the gospel community now. We just live by our self alone. Isn't it? We don't care. Last time you depend your pastor because someone is bad mounting your pastor. You just tell the guy hey if you ever talk against my pastor please don't do it in front of me. You can talk about my pastor but not in front of me. Why? I will challenge you and the people will be quiet. Right? Because you are a true disciple. I'm part of the community now. Nobody talk bad words about my family. That's why church are being deteriorated because everybody talk bad about your pastor your leaders and nobody dare to stand for the community. You are learning now? That's your family right now. Amen. I always depend my family my leaders. You go to the Philippines and they know that. You don't touch pastor or real church. He will kick you but why? I'm not teaching you to kick their butt but I'm telling you that's the value of our family. That's why I joined the gospel community. So listen the gospel content now the gospel community. The third aspect of the gospel is the gospel cause. C-A-U-S-E gospel cause when you join our gospel community you don't join my community because we are religious. We have a cause here. Okay? Our cause is to transform our nation our cause is to fulfill the vision of Jesus Christ. So you join myself we're gonna win souls. Okay? This is not the place to cry. After you cry you win souls. After you you share your problem you win souls. Okay? This is not the dumping ground of your emotional baggage. We pray for you but you will win souls and make disciples. You will disciple if you are part of my cell. Can I remember? That's why Mary life group they have life group but never grow. They never multiply because they have they are believer of the gospel but they don't believe on the gospel cause. Do you know that even one person who believe the gospel can start his own gospel community? What if you share one, two, three and they begin to have your gospel community and then when you have the gospel community you have to multiply that by bringing the gospel cause. We have to preach the gospel. Jesus, the vision of Jesus we have to change and transform this nation. I have to select my disciple I need to form them and I need to send them bringing the gospel creating gospel community downloading the gospel cause. Are you listening? Imagine you come here and you miss the gospel cause. Imagine you join here you finish your course and you don't have a gospel cause. So what happened to you? You just get the certificate. For what? I don't know. So come here so that we come out we carry the gospel cause. To create gospel community by preaching the gospel. Can I recommend? So the gospel is not just to be preached. They have to create community and they have to download the gospel cause so that it will multiply. It will conquer. The only way to conquer and change the nation is when the gospel community carry the life of our gospel cause. We have to preach the gospel. That's our cause. We have to raise up leaders. That's our cause. We have to disciple people. That's our cause. We have to change and transform our city. That's our cause. That is the gospel according to Jesus. Amen. I don't believe in the gospel at every believer of the gospel. You have to bring the gospel. When you carry the gospel cause when you go to your job you will bring the gospel there. Because you carry the gospel cause. If you're a student you're going to bring the gospel to your classmate because you carry the gospel cause. You go to your community you bring the gospel cause. Can I recommend? Imagine you finish the course and you fully understand the gospel. You are a gospel proven believer. I know how to preach the gospel. I know how to create community. I know how to download the gospel cause to my disciple. That's your job. Ready? If you are a believer of the gospel you are a minister of the gospel. You carry the message of the gospel. You are an ambassador of Christ. You begin to develop the gospel community. You lead them. And then you download the gospel cause so that everybody will preach the gospel. All your disciples will become disciple and becoming disciple makers. Everything you heard from me you will download this to your disciple. Can I recommend? I pray that you get the records. And you know how to learn this? Listen to this message 17 times. 17 times. Not 5, not 6, 17 times. When you hear it 17 times you will become fluent on this. Can I recommend? Do you learn something today? Amen. I know you are getting ready again. I'm happy to speak to these ambassadors. You are getting ready to preach the gospel. Amen. You know the gospel you have to produce gospel community and you have to impart the gospel cause. Amen. Father, thank you for what we have learned about the gospel of Jesus Christ. Indeed, Lord, it can transform and change life. It can redeem the senior Lord and it can restore back the people to its original design. Thank you for our ministry that was given to us by the governor, the Holy Spirit. Thank you because we are representing you the gospel of the kingdom, Lord. I declare that every one of us, Lord will carry the ministry of reconciliation. Thank you for the message of the gospel, the message of reconciliation and now, Lord send these people as an ambassador of Christ and they will bring it to the whole nation, the whole city so that nation will be changed and transformed. Bless all these student, disciples and leaders to carry on the ministry that you have entrusted to them. Thank you, Lord. We thank you and we honor you, Lord. In Jesus' name, amen. And amen. God bless you. I'm proud of you. Hope to see you soon again. God bless you.
