Psalm chapter 51 verse 12

12 Do restore to me the exultation of salvation by you,And may you support me even with a willing spirit.



Uphold me your general Spirit. Our $ cannot go up to heaven, but is our generosity and attitude go up to heaven.



----------------

Genesis chapter 12 verse 1-3

1 And Jehovah proceeded to say to A´bram: “Go your way out of your country and from your relatives and from the house of your father to the country that I shall show you;



2 and I shall make a great nation out of you and I shall bless you and I will make your name great; and prove yourself a blessing.



3 And I will bless those who bless you, and him that calls down evil upon you I shall curse, and all the families of the ground will certainly bless themselves by means of you.”



God want to use us as an example to bless others. God multiply Abraham offspring like sands and stars that are so much we can't count. And Abraham didn't withhold his son Isaac and listen to God and offer him to be burn, but didn't burn. God testing Abraham faith.



4 Parts to the covenant.



1) Learning to cleave. Genesis chapter 2 verse 24

24 That is why a man will leave his father and his mother and he must stick to his wife and they must become one flesh.



Cleave on to the wife/husband.

God don't play our life. He want do something good and bless Abraham. God got something good for you and me, and we need to leave first, then cleave to the Lord, live union with the Lord and enter the Holy of the Holy.



2) Intimacy with God -> You want see life, spiritual growing and produce, INTIMACY WITH THE LORD FIRST!



1 Corinthians chapter 6 verse 17

17 But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit. -> One Spirit with Him.



Number chapter 32 verse 11

11 ‘The men who came up out of Egypt from twenty years old upward will not see the soil of which I have sworn to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, because they have not followed me wholly,



Before they/we enter the Most Holy place, we need to be "wholly" follow God. Not to live but cleave.



3) Faith in God -Abraham was test to offer the son. Abraham faith was test beyond "confidence" or "obtain" something. But his faith was test to trust God or not!

Abraham WHOLLY follwed the Lord.-> "Fidelity"



Let's look at Genesis chapter 13 verse 2

2 And A´bram was heavily stocked with herds and silver and gold.



Genensis chapter 13 verse 5-6

5 Now Lot, who was going along with A´bram, also owned sheep and cattle and tents.



6 So the land did not allow for them to dwell all together, because their goods had become many and they were not able to dwell all together.



Their wealth and live stock was so great that can't dwell together. This is blessing! Well. If you want God to use you, you must leave first then cleave to the Lord.



4) Eample through brokeness.



2 Corinthians chapter 4 verse 7

7 However, we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the power beyond what is normal may be God’s and not that out of ourselves.



John chapter 6 verse 51

51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven; if anyone eats of this bread he will live forever; and, for a fact, the bread that I shall give is my flesh in behalf of the life of the world.”



Isaiah chapter 53 verse 3-5

3 He was despised and was avoided by men, a man meant for pains and for having acquaintance with sickness. And there was as if the concealing of one’s face from us. He was despised, and we held him as of no account.



4 Truly our sicknesses were what he himself carried; and as for our pains, he bore them. But we ourselves accounted him as plagued, stricken by God and afflicted.



5 But he was being pierced for our transgression; he was being crushed for our errors. The chastisement meant for our peace was upon him, and because of his wounds there has been a healing for us.



All is for our benefit!



-Life come out of death. Like Jesus Christ example. He died and raise back again.

-You need to be broken, so other can get blessed and life. Through all your suffering, you overcome then can share and bless them. Cause by the trouble you go through and overcome, when you share, the power is there. Just like Christ died for us, and through Him we are make strong.

-Serving, and being a ConnectGroupLeader or CellGroupLeader is doing God's will.



2 Corinthians chapter 4 verse 13-14

13 Now because we have the same spirit of faith as that of which it is written: “I exercised faith, therefore I spoke,” we too exercise faith and therefore we speak,



14 knowing that he who raised Jesus up will raise us up also together with Jesus and will present us together with YOU.



2 Corinthians chapter 4 verse 15
15 For all things are for YOUR sakes, in order that the undeserved kindness which was multiplied should abound because of the thanksgiving of many more to the glory of God.

2 Corinthians chapter 4 verse 16-17
16 Therefore we do not give up, but even if the man we are outside is wasting away, certainly the man we are inside is being renewed from day to day.

17 For though the tribulation is momentary and light, it works out for us a glory that is of more and more surpassing weight and is everlasting;

- As we go through trial and trouble, suffering and etc. We can share with others and help them to overcome. Especially those who OVERCOME, then when they share with others how to overcome, there will be more power to the statement.

Hebrews chapter 2 verse 14 -15
14 Therefore, since the “young children” are sharers of blood and flesh, he also similarly partook of the same things, that through his death he might bring to nothing the one having the means to cause death, that is, the Devil;

15 and [that] he might emancipate all those who for fear of death were subject to slavery all through their lives.

Jesus broke the power of devil and death. That through Jesus we might have eternal life.

Hebrews chapter 2 verse 16-18
16 For he is really not assisting angels at all, but he is assisting Abraham’s seed.

we are Abraham seed=offspring

17 Consequently he was obliged to become like his “brothers” in all respects, that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, in order to offer propitiatory sacrifice for the sins of the people.

18 For in that he himself has suffered when being put to the test, he is able to come to the aid of those who are being put to the test.

Jesus (Son of the living God) come as a human form of body to suffer and can over
all things, so that through Him we can also over come our temptation: sexual immoral, drugs and gambling and etc...

=Dr Kong have asthma, and the HEALING come and take away and now is been OVERCOME.

=City Harvest Church use to get Media Attack, and now been OVERCOME

=19years ago City Harvest Church start with 20 people, and all that time they are not rich, but now you can see we have 24,000 people and almost those who trust on the Lord and stick to Him with faith already SUCCESS and RICH and been BLESSED. You may be poor now when you followed the Lord, but one day God will prosper you.

Jesus face alot of different what we face. He face all kinds of temptation, been betray, emotion and etc.. He is Example of examples, King of kings, if Jesus can have Victory, YOU also can have VICTORY. Hey c'on, let's Praise the Lord.

Genesis chapter 50 verse 20
20 As for YOU, YOU had evil in mind against me. God had it in mind for good for the purpose of acting as at this day to preserve many people alive.

Joseph brother's want to harm him, and in the end sell him to Slavery. But God have a good purpose for Joseph life, TO SAVE PEOPLE LIVES. This bring purpose to LIFE. Like
what 2 Corinthians chapter 4 what Paul is exactly saying:
"Don't Give Up, God Want To Use You As A Example"

John 11 chapter 4
4 But when Jesus heard it he said: “This sickness is not with death as its object, but is for the glory of God, in order that the Son of God may be glorified through it.”

You can read the Story about Lazarus. When Jesus heard that Lazarus is dead, Jesus wait for days later then go there, and Lazarus were already dead 4 days ago, Lazarus sister believed it will raise back to life on the last day. But Jesus say:
"I show you now". Lazarus body need to be broken, so that Jesus can bring life.

We need to be broken first, so we can bring LIFE to others.

Genesis chapter 22 verse 16-18
16 and to say: “‘By myself I do swear,’ is the utterance of Jehovah, ‘that by reason of the fact that you have done this thing and you have not withheld your son, your only one,

17 I shall surely bless you and I shall surely multiply your seed like the stars of the heavens and like the grains of sand that are on the seashore; and your seed will take possession of the gate of his enemies.

18 And by means of your seed all nations of the earth will certainly bless themselves due to the fact that you have listened to my voice.’”

God is talking to Abraham, as the verse you just read. Abraham went and wholly followed God. God use Abraham as example. Blessing upon Blessing come, multiply and etc.

If YOU want Church to grow. We need to do LIFE. And we need to broken to God. And you will get blessed. WOW!

I know is a bit too long. Let's come with me to the last passage before I do closing.

Psalm chapter 78 verse 8 - 41
8 And they should not become like their forefathers,A generation stubborn and rebellious,A generation who had not prepared their heart And whose spirit was not trustworthy with God.

9 The sons of E´phra·im, though armed shooters of the bow,Retreated in the day of fight.

10 They did not keep the covenant of God,And in his law they refused to walk.

11 They also began to forget his dealings And his wonderful works that he caused them to see.

12 In front of their forefathers he had done marvelously In the land of Egypt, the field of Zo´an.

13 He split the sea, that he might let them pass over,And he caused the waters to stand like a dam.

14 And he continued to lead them with a cloud by day And the whole night with a light of fire.

15 He proceeded to split rocks in the wilderness,That he might cause [them] to drink an abundance just like watery deeps.

16 And he went bringing forth streams out of a crag And causing waters to descend just like rivers.

17 And they kept sinning still more against him By rebelling against the Most High in the waterless region;
18 And they proceeded to test God in their heart By asking for something to eat for their soul.

19 So they began to speak against God.They said: “Is God able to arrange a table in the wilderness?”

20 Look! He struck a rockThat waters might flow and torrents themselves might flood forth.“Is he able also to give bread itself,Or can he prepare sustenance for his people?”

21 That was why Jehovah heard and began to be furious;And fire itself was kindled against Jacob,And anger also ascended against Israel.

22 For they did not put faith in God,And they did not trust in salvation by him.

23 And he proceeded to command the cloudy skies above,And he opened the very doors of heaven.

24 And he kept raining upon them manna to eat,And the grain of heaven he gave to them.

25 Men ate the very bread of powerful ones;Provisions he sent them to satisfaction.

26 He began making an east wind burst forth in the heavensAnd making a south wind blow by his own strength.

27 And he proceeded to make sustenance rain upon them just like dust,Even winged flying creatures just like the sand grains of the seas.

28 And he kept making [them] fall in the middle of his camp,All around his tabernacles.

29 And they went eating and satisfying themselves very much,And what they desired he proceeded to bring to them.

30 They had not turned aside from their desire,While their food was yet in their mouth,

31 When God’s wrath itself ascended against them.And he went killing among their stout ones;And the young men of Israel he made collapse.

32 Despite all this they sinned some more And did not put faith in his wonderful works.

33 So he brought their days to an end as if a mere exhalation,And their years by the disturbance.

34 As often as he killed them, they also inquired for him,And they returned and looked for God.

35 And they began to remember that God was their Rock,And that God the Most High was their
Avenger.

36 And they tried to fool him with their mouth;And with their tongue they tried to lie to him.

37 And their heart was not steadfast with him;And they did not prove faithful in his covenant.

38 But he was merciful; he would cover the error and not bring ruin.And many times he made his anger turn back,And he would not rouse up all his rage.

39 And he kept remembering that they were flesh,That the spirit is going forth and does not come back.

40 How often they would rebel against him in the wilderness,They would make him feel hurt in the desert!

41 And again and again they would put God to the test,And they pained even the Holy One of Israel.

As you read, they were fully armed, and they run in battle. They have no faith in God and they limited the Holy One. They don't understand what I just type or we learn from Pastor Tan. If they know in those days and obeyed God in those days, they already been bless and enter the Holy of the Holy. Guys! If today you hear His voice, do not harden your heart. Don't be like the children of E´phra·im. To follow God will is a very good things. Let's take a look at this:

"Will" also means a "Decree", or a "Legal Document" that a person pass away and pass it to YOU. So we already been promised. If we do His Will. His hand will be upon us. Amen. Let's gibe the Lord a big hand.
