 Okay, welcome back after the break. Okay, there's a question here from Daniel. I'm not sure whether he's back after the break. Yeah, he's here. Okay, so Daniel says that in his church when they put in the offering, they every Sunday they have to put the offering in an envelope. And in that envelope, they have to write the mobile number, their names and their address, then only they can put it in the offering box. So are you saying Daniel, this is the type offering cover or is it just a general offering that you put every Sunday? Because most churches, they follow this for tithes, they have a cover where they have all your details, your address, your phone number, and your name as well. I think that just helps in helping the database of the church and keeping the address and the contact number. And also to know as a member that you're offering your tithes for accountability of the church as well. That's why most churches have these tight cover offerings, which we all put in. Okay, but are you talking about the general offering that we take every Sunday? Oh, you're talking about the general offering. I think that is too much. The general offering to have a cover for every Sunday, writing a name, mobile number, I think that is going to weigh beyond. But you can always ask the pastor why he's doing it, what is his idea behind this, why he's doing what he's doing. So good to go and approach him and share and also to share your feedback with him. But again, when I say pray about it, don't be judgmental and condemning, take others also and tell them what is the repercussions of it, how people are leaving the church. You know, sometimes it's not good to send a WhatsApp message about these things or an email, because when we do send a WhatsApp message or an email, sometimes the person can read with their own emotions, mindsets. So their emotions can, oh, you know, he's ordering me or he's bossing over me or he's condemning me or judgmental about what I'm doing. So he can read it with his own lenses and the way he sees things and his own emotions. Good to sit face to face and talk so they're able to see your whole purpose while you're doing what you are doing. Okay, does that help, Anu? Okay. Yeah, so we'll move on to chapter six, anointing. Okay. Now, when people are saved, healed, delivered, when we pray, or people's lives are transformed, when we preach and teach, how does it happen? When people are healed, when you pray or delivered, or they get received an answer or restored, you know, there's a breakthrough when you preach or teach and you pray for them. What really happens? How does it happen in their lives? How does this miracle happen? It's a work of the Holy Spirit. Okay. And it's the anointing that flows through you. Okay. So is it you as a person who's doing it? No. It is the anointing. What is the meaning of anointing of the Holy Spirit? Let me say anointing of the Holy Spirit, what do we mean? I've mentioned this couple of times when I was teaching the previous two publications. Anyone remembers what is the meaning of anointing? What is anointing of the Holy Spirit mean? Two P's. P for pen. Two P's. What are the two P's? Come on, think. What do you need to bring about healing and deliverance? What is a P that you need? Power, right? Hello, wake up, everyone. The power and the presence of the Holy Spirit. So remember, anointing, two P's. Power and presence. Okay. So it is not how gifted you are, how great a speaker you are, how charismatic you are and how, you know, how much of the word of God you know, how you can just, you know, a battle of God's word and preach and teach and how gifted you are in preaching and teaching and speaking and all that. Even people who are great orators can preach and teach. But what is it that transforms people's life or people are saved or people are healed and delivered and restored is the anointing of God. Okay. And we learned about, you know, we learned about gifts. So we talked about gifts, function and grace. When we studied, I think, receiving God's guidance, we studied about function, gifts and grace. Okay. Now, why is gifts and grace given to us to fulfill what? God's purpose. Gifts and grace is given to us to fulfill the function that God has given to us in the body of Christ. Do all of us have a function in the body of Christ? Yes. So the gifts and grace are given to fulfill that function. Okay. So what is the gifts of God given to us? You know, gifts are an anointing are given to people for what? Look at what the word of God says. Yeah, look at your publication, your notes, sorry. Look at your notes, please. And look at the three references given there. I want you all to read it quickly by yourself and tell me what are anointing and gifts given to people? Why are anointing and gifts given to people? To serve people. What else? To build up the body. Thank you sister. To build up the body of believers. Okay. What else? It's given for the edification or building up of the body of believers also. So that God's people can be served. Gifts and grace is not given to show how super spiritual, super mature, superman, superwoman you are. Okay. There is no superman, superwoman. All of those things is not applicable when you know you're moving mightily in the anointing. It's actually, it's just showing how the power of God is being released to you because how intimate you are in your relationship with God. It is there to, gifts and grace is also given to build people and to expand the kingdom of God. Okay. So sometimes what we mistake or make a mistake in doing is when, when people preach and teach and, you know, people are restored and people are saved or when they pray, there's healing, deliverance happening. We associated with that person, right? With that man and woman off. God, that's wrong. Okay. We shouldn't associate it with just them. It's, we know, we need to know it's the power of the Holy Spirit, the anointing of the Holy Spirit, more flowing in and through the person. Okay. And also the more anointed you are, the more gifted you are, what should you do as a person? If you're very gifted and anointed, what should your attitude be? Huh? You should be humble. Yes. You should be a servant to all. Remember what Jesus said? Follow the example of what Jesus did. What did Jesus do? He said, they have come to serve and not to be served. Jesus mightily flow in the anointing and the gifts. Yes or no? Some of you are doubtful. Okay. But we see that he came to serve. So our gifting and anointing should be more to serve the body of Christ and to build the body of Christ. Okay. Our gifting and anointing should not be used to base our identity. Okay. We should not look at ourselves, give things an anointing should not be something that we think we are spiritual, mature, you know, more godly or super spiritual, superman, superwoman compared to other people. What should, on what should our identity be based on or built on? What should our identity be built and based on? Word of God. Who we are in Christ. Okay. Who we are in Christ. Our identity should not be based on the good works, the giftings, the anointing, the spiritual calling. All of us is very important. Okay. The good works that we do. Yes. It should reflect Christ. Okay. Identity who we are in Christ. Okay. Paul says we are God's workmanship. We are his handy work. We are created in Christ Jesus. We are bought by his precious blood. Okay. And we need to see ourselves as who we are in Christ. It's important for us to be more Christ like than just running behind anointing and gifting. The more Christ like we are, the more anointing and anointed and gifted, the more anointing will flow through us and the gifts also will flow through us. Okay. So we should never think that it's all the people who are being delivered, healed, you know, restored, saved is because of me. Sometimes we can come to that place. It's very dangerous. We need to humble ourselves. Always know that it is God, the Holy Spirit, working his anointing, his power, his presence, and we need to give God all the glory. So how do we keep ourselves constantly in a place of humility, even when we are flowing mightily in gifts and anointing? How can we keep ourselves in that place, the right place where we don't come to a place of pride and thinking is all happening because of me? Because I am super spiritual or I am super powerful. What should we do? What are some of the steps we need to take? We need to be mindful of who we are, that we are just earthen vessels without God's anointing. We are nothing. We need to be humble before God. Another thing, word starts with O. What should we do? Obedience, yes. Always living in obedience and under God's will and we need to keep our... What is our greatest enemy? Who is our greatest enemy? We learnt other than the devil. Somebody in us, our flesh. Our flesh is our greatest enemy. Yes, we ourselves are our greatest enemy, our flesh. So we need to keep our flesh in control and keep control over our mind. Now, in the Old Testament, God had asked them to make a special anointing oil. They are not all Moses to make a special anointing oil. He gave them all the ingredients and told him that they should not make... Nobody should use the same ingredients to make any perfume or lotion that they can apply for on their own bodies. This anointing oil is specifically to be sprinkled on every utensil and everything in the cabinacle. So this holy anointing oil in the Old Testament was a type of the anointing of the Holy Spirit in the New Testament. Which means we need to understand that the anointing of God cannot be manifested in the flesh. It cannot be used for freshly purposes. We need to treat it with reverence and even the anointing of God. The anointing is pure, but we as earthen vessels, we are not pure, we are imperfect, but the anointing is perfect. Sometimes we can flow mightily in the anointing, but we can come to a place where we are filled with pride and we can move in our fleshly nature or in our carnal nature. That is when we can immediate the anointing in the flesh and we can say, God is saying this when God has not spoken to us. We think the Holy Spirit is saying this when the Holy Spirit is not spoken to us. Sometimes we are so treasured to say something, to do something, to release words of prophecy or words of knowledge and we are not getting anything. It's okay at that time just pray and close the service or just pray generally for that person. Not just saying something out of your own flesh or carnal or your own mind or your own emotions and saying this is what God is saying. This is the word of God for you. That is wrong. We need to keep our flesh in control and restraint and always manifest with the pure work of the Holy Spirit as he requires, as he does, as he wills in and through our lives. What are some of the things we need to do is, we've already said some of the things that we need to do, how we can manifest purely in the Spirit and keep our flesh under subjection is not to gratify the things of the flesh, to die to the things of the flesh, to grow the things in the Spirit and also to have a heart attitude where God has given all the glory. And our willingness to only say and do what God wants us to say and do just like Jesus. Okay, Jesus only said and did and healed people who he wanted. He does not give any reason. Even for Lazarus, when he went to raise up Lazarus, he went on the fourth day. He does not give any reasons for that. My father told me this, that and all of those stories. He just says the important things. Even when he went to the pool of Bethesda, he healed only one person, but it's God's will to heal everyone. But he does not say why he healed only one person and walked off and did not heal the others. So you just do what God is asking you to do and telling you to do. And also when you do not, you need to be very careful that you are not flowing out of your flesh, but only saying and doing what the Spirit of God is asking you to do. Okay, sometimes we can look at great men and women of God who are flowing in the gifts and we start copying their style. You know the way they shake and the way they stutter and the way they scream and shout and jump and run from one corner of the stage to another and their style. The way they throw their coats and handkerchiefs and all of those things. You know, don't do all of those things. Just do what the Spirit of God is leading you to do. Even if you're very quietly just standing there and praying, just do that. It's the power of the Holy Spirit that should be manifested. The power of the Holy Spirit that goes out and heals and delivers people and not these styles. But we're not condemning people who do all of these styles. It might be their way they want to do it. Okay, they like doing it, but it's not that we need to copy that. And you know, some of us shaking and screaming and jumping and blowing into the mic screaming in the mic. All that is not really necessary. Okay. Paramita says, I saw some believers sprinkling the holy water and holy oil over their houses every day. Is it necessary? I feel they are giving more importance to oil rather than God because of whom the oil is effective. Am I wrong to think that way? No, you're right to think that way. But Paul says in Romans chapter 14 and Romans chapter 15 as well. But some people do things in their own faith in what their child like faith, you know, let them do. Some people think someday is important. It's okay. If some people think some meat is important to eat or should not be eating some meat. Food is not something that we, you know, food and clothing and all of those things are not something that we debate and argue and all of those things. So if some people think that by sprinkling this holy oil and this holy water in their house is going to ward off evil and keep the evil one away and it's going to be pre-peace and all of that. It might be because of the cultural mindset they have and all of that. We don't condemn them. We don't put them down. But what we can do is we need to teach them because they are naive. They might be innocent. They are following their cultures and the lifestyle of what they have seen and heard and they're doing that. But we can always teach them and always tell them from the word of God and tell them it's not just the oil and the water, but it's the power of God. So they can sit down and, you know, just peak Jesus over their family, over their home, you know, over every area of their life and how they can see God move. And, you know, motivate them to do it. So we need to be very lovingly, gently just speak to them, educate them from God's word and show them that, you know, in the early church, nobody did all of those things. But still there was, you know, they were protected. There was great things God was doing. Even Jesus never did any of these things. So we educate them. It will help them. Does that help Paramita? Okay. So even sometimes, you know, the anointing can be imparted from one person to another person. Okay, gifts can be activated through the laying on of hands. Okay, so some of the gifts you have a new lay hands on somebody else they can, they're gifting in that area can be activated. But it's important that if you are not called for that specific function and that specific role and a specific responsibility, and you want impartation and we, and you know, you have people lay hands on you for to be imparted. And for the gifts to be activated. It's not going to work. Why? Because God has not called you in that specific calling function and that specific place or responsibility. But if he has called you and then you ask people to, you know, lay hands that you can receive the anointing and impartation and the gifts can be activated is okay. But if you're not called and you want impartation that in that area, suppose you're not called to be a worship leader, I'm not called to be a worship leader. Okay, and you know, you, I go up and ask all the great worship leaders to lay their hands and pray and the gifts is not going to be activated because I'm not called for that specific purpose of, you know, being a worship leader. Okay, so in the area of your calling and your function, it's important to know what is God's call function in your life. And in that area, you can, you know, receive impartation or, you know, you can have, have people lay hands on them on you so that the gifts can be activated. Okay. But, you know, anointing and gifting in specific area for your function for your calling is not just people lay hands on you. It is your intimacy with God. Okay, the greater your intimacy with God, the greater the anointing and the gifting in that specific area. Okay. The other thing is, you know, when we are moving in the gifts of the spirit and anointing, you know, allow yourselves to be judged. Sometimes, you know, we can do things, they're not perfect human beings, right? Anyone here perfect? No. Okay, although the spirit of God is perfect, the anointing is wholly pure and perfect, we as God's instruments are not perfect and God knows that very well. Therefore, you know, whatever is ministered through imperfect vessel should be judged. That's why we say, when you, you know, the other eight methods, you know, of, you know, the prophecy or Godly counsel, we always have to validate that with the word of God and with the Holy Spirit. Okay. So, why do we do that? Even though the anointing is pure and perfect and holy because the vessels through which the anointing is released is imperfect. Okay. And also, we need to be as imperfect vessels come to a place where we are growing into Christ likeness and maturity in the ways of God. Okay. You know, the last thing in this chapter is that, you know, God can manifest the Holy Spirit can manifest in very creative ways. Sometimes he can do things that are in a new way that we don't see in the word of God. For example, Peter's shadow. You know, Peter, Apostle Peter, when he was walking his shadow, they kept sick people and even the shadow he. So, we can't say, hey, this is not the move of God. You know, this is demonic because we don't see this anywhere in the Old Testament. We don't see Elijah doing this. We don't see Elijah doing this. Don't see any of the prophets doing this. This is not God's move. Okay. Paul's apron. You know, he was working and he was a businessman, his apron, his handkerchief. Put on people there. Hey, no, this is not the word of God's doing. We don't see this anywhere in the Old Testament. So, we can't limit God in a box. Okay. God can do things in new creative ways, but we need to be opened to the manifestation and the work of the Holy Spirit, to move of the Holy Spirit, which can happen in unusual ways. Okay. But also, we need to know whether it is the move of the Holy Spirit. How do we know if it is the work of the Holy Spirit or demonic spirit? When we see a new, fresh, manifestational, creative way of science healing and deliverance happening. How do we know whether it's the work of the Holy Spirit or the flesh, the carnal nature or the demonic spirits working? I've explained this to you. Holy Spirit glorifies Jesus. You have to look at the results. Wait and look for the results and the fruit. What do I mean by results and fruit? When the Holy Spirit works, what happens? When there's a move of the Holy Spirit in a creative new way, what happens? What happens? Online students, what happens? Okay. The Holy Spirit glorifies. It's the permanent healing, permanent Holy Spirit. Yes. There's life transformation. There is people's lives are transformed. Breakthrough happens. Deliverance happens. Healing happens. It can be validated. It can be proved and tested. If it's the work of the flesh or if it's the work of the devil, what is the result? No result. Right? There's just hypersensationalism and no excitement and everything. But actually seeing there's no life transformation. There is no healing. There is no deliverance. Okay. Any questions on the anointing? Very short chapter. No questions. Online students. Okay. Then we'll move to chapter 7. Okay. So we are looking at various areas in a minister's life, you know, where, how we need to conduct ourselves, how we need to be accountable to God, various areas as ministers, as men and women of God, how we can serve Christ, how we can minister. Okay. So the chapter 7 is results. You know, does God look for fruit in our ministry or in whatever area He's called us to do? Does He look for fruit? Yes. Okay. He looks for fruit. How do we know He looks for fruit? Thank you. Akhil says yes. How do we know He looks for fruit? Online students, are you there? How do we know that God looks for fruit? Okay. Scripture in the New Testament. Ah, branch is not wearing fruit. Cut that branch, prune the branch. John chapter 15. Also the parable of the steward, the parable of the talent that Jesus speaks about. Okay. Jesus is referring to trees which not bear fruit to cut it off. Yes. The wine and the branches. Right. So what happens? The wine dresser, what does He do when He don't bear fruit? What does He do? He'll cut it off. Okay. And students cut it off. Okay. What happens when you're bearing fruit? John chapter 15, verses 1 and 2. What does the wine dresser do even when you're bearing fruit? Look at your Bible. How do you bear more fruit? What does He do? Please look at your notes or the Bible. John chapter 15, verses 1 and 2. Pruning. Thank you, Lucy. What would I have done without Lucy in my class? Thank you, Lucy. Yes, pruning. Yeah. What does it mean you're pruning? My mother loves to prune our garden and my father really gets upset when she cuts off all the branches. She's saying I'm pruning it so that it will grow nicely and we'll bear more flowers and fruits. Okay. She's always in the process of pruning. Okay. So God removes things that are unnecessary so that we can bear more fruit. All of the flesh, all of the things that is not holy, you know, He removes it from us. Okay. We also spoke about the talents, the parable of the talents. Okay. The parable of the talents, what does Jesus teach us from the parable of the talents? You know the parable of the talents? One person has given how many talents? You make use of your talents. Okay. And how do you make use of your talents? Okay. Just make use of your talents. Is it just about making use of the talents? Yes. Multiply. Thank you for that word. He's looking for multiplication. Did you know that God is not just looking for us to use it. We can use it and not do use it, not bear any fruit. But He's looking for multiplication. Okay. So that is what He is looking not just for us to maintain it but to increase and to multiply. And the persons and the stewards or the men who multiplied it, what does He say? Well done, good and faithful servants. Okay. So, God is looking for multiplication. Okay. Now, how can we bear fruit? What should we do to bear fruit? Come on. Simple. This is easy. Okay. Yeah. Accu says to increase by multiplying and effectively enhancing what we are blessed with. Thank you. Okay. What should we do in the Christian ministry to be fruitful? We should work. We'll just work. Labour hard, right? It's hard labour. What else? What should we do to bear fruit? Wakey, wakey everybody. Think. Have you heard me talk about these two words to start with P and E? Spider, perseverance. Have you heard me say that before? Endurance. Have you heard me say that before? Yes. Faithful. Have you heard that before? Patience. Have you heard that before? Yes. So, all of these things we need to do. Be patient, faithful, endurance. Thank you, Lucy. Endurance. Okay. What happens if we don't see fruit? What should we do? You should wait. How do you wait? Everything happens according to season. What should you do in the waiting time? Just pray. Continue to do what you're asked to do. Faithful, be endurance. Yes. What should you do when you don't bear fruit? Examine. Yes. You need to examine. See why you're not bearing fruit. What is happening? Is it lack of knowledge, negligence, skill? Are you doing the will of God? Are you in the right place at the right time? Remember positioning yourself, fulfilling God's purpose. Are you at the right place, at the right time, doing the right things? Because when you do that, you would receive the fruit. Also, you need to know which season you are in. Remember the seasons we've learned in fulfilling God's purpose. It can be hard labor, groundbreaking season, foundation season. It can be building season. It can be pruning season. It can be harvesting season. Which season you are in, you need to know about that. Okay. So, you need to ask all of these questions, take stock and see because God is looking for fruit. Okay. When you bear fruit, you know, it's good to testify, right? Yes or no? Give a testimony. Why is it important to testify? You should keep quiet about it when you're bearing fruit. Why should you testify? What happens when you testify when you're bearing fruit? Come on. You give glory to God. Okay. What else? What does it do to people when they listen to your testimony? It encourages people. Yes. Thank you, Sonia. It encourages them. Thank you, Akhil. It edifies them. It is to witness that, hey, when I am able to do this, God can do it through you. Hey, that person did it. God can do it through me. I need to also present some kind of enthusiasm, some kind of energies. And Andrew says, this faith moves us to another level. Amen. Okay. Yes. So, but when you're giving a testimony, how should you give the testimony? It should be like as it is. No extra masala. Yeah. No extra masala. Not saying, hey, 100 people came. Everybody was saved. Everybody were healed. Okay. The move of God, you know, touched everybody, of course, but you can't say everybody was healed. You have to say the right numbers. I think, you know, even though there's a move of God, I'm sure the move of God touched everybody. But I think there was about three or four people who accepted Christ. There's about five of them. Even if it doesn't happen, you know, there's no need to publicize and show. I said, yeah, I went and ministered. God moved, worked. I'm just giving glory to God. Okay. Just take the facts as it is, you know, being accurate in what you are saying and so that God can receive all the glory. Okay. And don't exaggerate what has happened. Okay. Sometimes, you know, there are other people who labor with us and because they labor hard with us, we are able to get fruit. So what should we do? We should give them the due, honor, recognition, talk about their contribution, what they have done because of which we are able to see the fruit. Don't say it's all about I me, myself. Okay. Say as a team, we did this, you know, how God is and how people pitched in, what people did. And so it encourages them and also it, you know, also it also shows the fact that, you know, when God sends people into our lives, we are mindful of that. We are appreciative of that. We are thankful to God for that. Do not draw other people of that honor. Okay. And give God all the glory and honor like the Psalmist says in Psalm 115 verse 1. Can somebody read that please? Psalm 115 verse 1. Psalm 115 verse 1, it's under the point give God all the glory. It all happened because of him. Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but to your name give glory because of your mercy, because of your truth. Amen. Thank you, Sonia. So to your name be all glory and honor. So don't give testimonies to promote how super special, super anointed you are, but just to give all the glory and honor to God. Okay. Also when you are giving testimony, don't do it to compare or compete with other ministers and other men and women in the city or, you know, other churches. That is not the right motive. You know, it should just be that, you know, we are giving glory to God. So don't compete with other churches. You know, God requires us to be faithful in what is entrusted and called us to do. We are to give our best, do our best, grow in the calling that God has called us for and stay faithful and be focused on the fruit that we bear so that God's kingdom can be extended. Okay. Any questions on this chapter? Results or bearing fruit? Any questions? So God is looking for fruit. Okay. You might be saying, hey, I'm not in ministry yet. I'm in Bible college. I'm studying, but even as you're studying, God is looking for fruit in what you are studying. Okay. How well you are engaging in His words, studying what is being taught, growing in the things of God, in the revelations, in the truth. So He's looking for fruit every season, every time of our life. Okay. If we bear fruit, what happens? What happened to the person who multiplied five to five? He was given in charge of greater or more cities, right? So when you're faithful in little things, God will entrust to us bigger things. So if you look at some people and say, why has God given him or her more than me, it's because that person was faithful in small things. So what is the small things? Small things can be, you're in a small place now. You're just in a place where all of you in-person students are in Bible colleges studying, right? You might see it as small, but God does not see it as small. God is looking for fruit. How well you use your time, the resources that He has given to you is very important, that you're using your time and resources to study God's Word, be equipped better, learning everything, taking the time to look through, read through, engage in His Word, in the notes, everything so that you can be equipped. Let me tell you, once you're in the ministry, you have no time to even look at all of these things and suddenly you'll have to be so busy. So good to use this time usefully and resourcefully. God is looking for fruit. Any questions? Any questions online students? We'll move to chapter 8 if none of you are having any questions. It's about fellowship. What is fellowship? In the body of Christ, what is fellowship? Hello, very simple. Come on. What is fellowship? Eating biryani and enjoying. What is fellowship? Communion. Fellowship is where a group of people gather. It's communion. Close relationship with God is communion. When you talk about fellowship in the body of Christ, is it with the like-minded people who think like us, to move along with us? Intimacy. Fellowship is intimacy. Talking about fellowship with one another in the body of Christ here. So what is fellowship? When you're talking, is it just people with our same wavelength, our same understanding, our same mindset? What if we come from other denominations, other styles of worship who don't think that we need to be baptized in the Holy Spirit, say hallelujah, praise the Lord, raise our hand, shout amen. Should we fellowship with such people as also in the body of Christ? Who are part of the body of Christ? Yes. Why should we fellowship with all of them in the body of Christ? Even though they are not of our same mindset, same doctrines, same denominations, we're all part of Him. We are all part of the head. And we are part of the kingdom of God. Yes. Thank you. We are one in Christ Jesus. We're here to serve one another. We are bought by the same, even though we're different denominations, we're bought by the same blood of Jesus Christ. We have the same Holy Spirit, same Father, Son. We have the same Word of God. And we have to learn to connect fellowship and relate with one another. Is it important that all the local churches in the body, in the city or the city-wide church should be one? When we talk about local church, it is our own like APC. When we talk about city-wide church, it's about all the local churches in Bangalore City. Is it important for the city-wide church to be one? Even though we are different in our denominations? Yes. Why is it important for us to be one? Thank you, Lucy. She says yes. Why is it important for us to be one? I heard this one. Only when we are one as a city-wide church can we impact our city. We can come against the gates of hell. See, the gates of hell are stationary. We have to, as a church, move against the gates of hell and we need to move together in unity and oneness. And also Jesus in his high priestly prayer in John chapter 17. What does he pray? Father, let them be one as we are one. As the Father, Spirit and Son are one. Holy Spirit are one. We need to be one. Okay. Yeah, there's no, so that there's no division amongst ourselves. Akhil says, Sanjay says, a kingdom divided against himself cannot stand. Will not stand. Yes. Very good. Thank you, Sanjay. So we are all part of the kingdom of God and we are all called as kingdom builders. Okay. We are not building our own kingdom. We are not building just APC. We are not building our own church. You are not building your own ministry. Even I'm part of APC. I oversee our school outreach ministry called Catalyst. Okay. I just can't build a kingdom out of Catalyst. Catalyst is part of APC. APC is part of the city by church. City by church is part of the kingdom of God. So I need to see how Catalyst can contribute to our church to the kingdom of God. If I'm just thinking about Catalyst as a business as my own kingdom and ministry, I'm failing in what God has called me to do or what he has requested me to do and that's very selfish. So everything that God has given entrusted to us ministries, churches, we need to see how we can use that to impact the kingdom of God, which means how we can impact together other ministries, other churches, how we can partner. So I'm part of Catalyst. How can I partner with others? We have our Catalyst curriculum on our website. Anyone can use it. Anyone in any city, if they approach me and said we want to use, start this in our city, I just give them our curriculum, the manual which I have written and they take it and start it. And I don't dominate and tell them what they need to do, how they need to do. Just give them the curriculum, tell them how we do it here and let them do it as the Lord leads them. So that is building the kingdom of God. And even if you look at how Pastor Ashish taught about Envision APC, everything, our publications, the resources, whether it is children's church curriculum, Catalyst curriculum, whether it is our publications, whether it is even supporting missionary organizations, pastors, starting churches in various cities, doing various youth ministries and various other things in different places, it's all to build a kingdom of God. Even in our city, he started something called Pastor's Fellowship. When is the morning? All the pastors in our city were invited in one of the hotels and they had breakfast and the time of worship and praying for our city. There was a small passage that was given and we should discuss. So it is bringing all the pastors from all denominations together. So when he is thinking, he is not just thinking about APC, how I can build APC, but thinking about how we can use what God is entrusted to him, all people's church, how we can use that to build the kingdom of God. And that is what we, you and I need to also do. We need to see what is the mandate God has given to us as kingdom builders, as part of his kingdom. What is the mandate? To see his kingdom come, his will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Not to see my kingdom come, not to see my ministry come, not to see my church come, mine will be done on earth and God can help me. No, it is, his kingdom come, his will be done on earth as it is in heaven. So, Esther says yes, truly incredible pastor work for the expansion of God's kingdom. Yes, thank God for a man like Passashis and the way he thinks and how he is leading us and guiding us and imparting to us in building God's kingdom. So, we need to see growth in the kingdom of God, not just in our promotion of our name, our work, our ministry, but see God's kingdom further. Also, when we do that, we need to see that there is unity among the people of God and people of God are strengthened. And as kingdom builders, we need to look beyond our vision to see how we can bless other visions, other ministries, other churches, other ministers. That is why as APC, every year we support other ministries, other churches, other men and women of God. As kingdom builders, we can also partner with others, step into their vision and help them to how they can help build up their church. Just two, three days back, I had somebody call me from South India and said, we want to start a children's church. Can you help me how to start children's church? And then I gave her all the details. I also told her that she said, I'll pay. I said, no, it's all free. You can just go to our website and use it and she was so happy. We are here to partner with others, to build others, not just to see, it's my ministry. I need to do it. I shouldn't share my resources with others. When we are ministering in God's kingdom, it's important for us to see how we can enhance and build God's kingdom and not look at what I should get out of it. So this lady called me and said, how can I build children's church? I should not look at how, what I can get out from her. See, I should be willing to say what I can give of what God has taught me and entrusted to me, how I can give it to her, share with her so that I can help build her and build the children in her state and extend God's kingdom. So it's not about what I can get, but what I can give of what God has given to me to bless others and to help build his kingdom. We'll continue with this chapter, just a few more pages next Friday. Anyone has any questions? Just one more minute before we close. Any more questions? Any questions? Today I'll be releasing assessment three. I'll give you a week to do the assessment. So it's not a hurry, but I'll give you a week to do the assessment. It'll be the same checkboxes and maybe and multiple choice. Multiple choice means only one answer. Checkboxes means more than one answer. All the answers are there in your textbook and I'll tell you which lessons from receiving God's purpose and code of honor. I think I'll just give you two chapters. Okay, that's it. And regarding the system, this is not a system that I invented. It was a system that's put in place about these checkboxes and these multiple choice. The way that it is laid out is something that has been the system has been put in place. Even the format about how Marx is given, how Marx should be deducted. All that is a system that is laid in place. I'm just following the system. The system has been laid in place because it's an open book question. Since it's an open book question, all the answers are given there. So it's fair enough if you don't get all the answers right, you don't get the points. Thank you, Daniel, for your comment. Thank you, Lucy and Daniel. Thank you, everyone. Have a blessed weekend, everyone. And I'll see you next week. Thank you.
