Thank you A blessed day to you I am Bishop Ruben Abate and I’m the senior pastor of the Lighthouse Bible Baptist Church I’d like to invite you now to be with us as the message of the word of God is preached from the pulpit I’d like to turn you over now to our Lighthouse coming
Together and I pray that you’d be blessed with a message thank you In letters of crimson God wrote his love on a hillside so long long ago For you and for me Jesus died and loves greatest story was told I love you Of you that’s what Calvary says I love you I love you I love you you’ve written in red friends Down Through the Ages I love you I love you that’s what Calvary says I love you Foreign I love you I love you that’s what Calvary says I love you Foreign Let’s first go to Isaiah 26 and verse 12. and here the word of Truth says Lord thou Wilt ordain peace for us for thou also has wrought all our works in US thou has wrought all our works in US in Philippians chapter 2 and here the Apostle Paul writes to the church in
Philippine he says wherefore my beloved as ye have always obeyed not as in my presence only but now much more in my absence work out your own salvation with fear and trembling for it is God which worketh in you both to Will and to do of his good pleasure
And then in Hebrews chapter 13 and verses 20 to 21. now the God of Peace that brought again from the dead our lord Jesus that great Shepherd of the Sheep through the blood of the Everlasting Covenant make you perfect in every good work to do his will working in you
That which is well pleasing in his sight through Jesus Christ to whom be glory forever and ever amen now I’d like you to Simply take note of some words here make you perfect okay who makes it is the God of Peace correct he will make so towards what he will make you no
To do his will because he works in you well our message today talks about how God works and performs in US of course this applies to what we are as Ecclesia not just simply as individual okay you understand that individual Cristiano foreign but the work of the Lord is not
Simply you the work of the Lord is the Ecclesia when we do the work of the lord we do the work of the Ecclesia so we should understand Lighthouse Bible Baptist Church we come together and Lord thank you um nourish us strengthen us through God is help us to understand
And give us Minds willing to accept your truth in Jesus name amen thank you you may all please be considered potato distinct it’s a lighthouse on someone okay yeah okay and mind you it is you do not do the work of God okay Union is and that is the church
The reason why he came here oh yes he went to the Cross he died for us but that is not the only work that he did there are many today who teach the work of Christ okay we appreciate that television and I was hearing this preacher preach about the work of the Lord
Well he could only refer to the work of redemption that the Lord completed on the cross and that’s the only work that he referenced well okay you need to realize that after the Lord Jesus Christ rose again from the grave he did not go back immediately to heaven okay he stayed
He stayed for another 40 Days teaching the apostles okay and making them to understand the scriptures and even as he ascended to Heaven he told them you wait 10 more days until the spirit comes and empowers you so that you can do the work yourselves do you understand mahalaga okay
Of what we are okay While others would take for granted the Lighthouse Bible Baptist Church and how you are part of it we’re not and I’m not doing this simply because I am Pastor I am doing this because we need to know the truth amen otherwise apostles Epistles New Testament you understand this
Reference New Testament the church which he purchased with his own blood okay how he gave himself for the Ecclesia okay and that does not simply refer to a mystical invisible body that refers to us listen the Lord Jesus Christ died for what we are as Lighthouse Bible Baptist Church that’s the truth
And everybody and every member of lighthouse must know that reality it is truth okay Church event foreign okay remember London Church Fellowship mindset okay remember London remember foreign member London Church wow members institutional it took the personal presence of the Lord Jesus Christ on Earth to establish the New Testament Church again so
Realize this Isaiah 26 12. of course Israel as a nation could well recognize this because okay Lord thou Wilt ordain peace for us for thou also has wrought all our works in US you have brought all our works in us oh well if you look at the complete Jewish Bible
This is how it is rendered because all we have done you have done for us even as a nation they were recognizing the fact that they could not have done it otherwise they could not have done what they have done outside of their God are you listening
Until now Israel as a nation believes in the Torah not necessarily the New Testament okay and still they look forward to that we are not Jews okay we are not that Nation but hey we are his Ecclesia okay we are his church now appreciation Church of Philippi um persecution foreign okay
The Apostle Paul was not just writing to a fraternity or a Brotherhood no no no no no he was writing to an Ecclesia okay he is not he was not right into a foundation he was not writing to a Bible study group okay he was not writing to A discipleship group
He was writing to a church you understand and he was saying this foreign okay as you have obeyed during I was with you pero even more you work out your salvation with fear and trembling it worked out who knew saying business foreign salvation okay foreign Minister the grace of God to each one
Amen Bob because we are members of each other you do something according to God’s grace in you again okay scholarship programs it’s one of the ways that we work out these things however limited we may be so easy say spiritual Wellness Amen in the midst of this world mentally speaking okay correct
With all this technology and advancement in technology foreign why because it God which works in you both the will and to do of his good pleasure Nino to Will but with that will is a doing so that we can please him of course because when the Lord Jesus
Christ came here he pleased the father that’s the greatest subject in fact we are here as a church to please him not even ourselves and look at this in Philippians 1 6 Paul says be in confident of this very thing I have this confidence in Sabina that he know
Which have begun a good work in you know the Philippine Church will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ now look at this how true is this well to a lot of Christians even to a lot of churches this simply remain all these simply remain to be verses
But it they do not translate to our lives but we need to take this truth okay Timothy God has not given us a spirit to fear but of power and of love and of a sound mind you know I plan I intended to continue what I preached
Last Sunday don’t close our mind to serve foreign and my encouragement to you is do not be a Sunday morning member of lighthouse amen foreign they do not realize that um foreign spiritually one day again young mindset oh yeah Amen foreign you do not live according to this this truth how you need to know how God works in you how God works in US you are never a part of the work you know I do not bully you when I preached regarding this no I am not
I just present to you the reality and what the word of Truth says amen okay God loves you peace be with you foreign and not lighthouse amen okay so be not doubter for ashamed of the testimony of the Lord who became the pastor of the Ephesian Church
But be a partaker of the Affliction of the Gospel for whatever and however the world’s response is to the gospel you’ll be partaker of it you be a part of it if the world would not believe the gospel of Christ if the world will undermine the gospel of Christ amen okay Facebook
Amen why because he saved us because he called us with the Holy calling not according to what we can do to how we would perform because voila but according to his purpose and Grace and which purpose and Grace he gave to us in Jesus Christ do you believe in purpose I believe in
Purpose in purpose yes those business May purpose but do you have Grace on Grace and don’t tell me Papua we need to look at the grace of God which has given us in Christ Jesus Christ a happen I was doing this devotions febc is a lighthouse he’s very person
Now may I say this okay we refer to the Lord as Savior we refer to him as Redeemer correct and we look at his blood as material to our forgiveness correct if he is Redeemer what did he buy to redeem is to buy back so what did he buy huh
What did he buy sabiko happen Christo is because we are sinners on okay yantayo by what is Allah Bridge okay correct along Italian okay Okay what did he redeem if he bought something what did he buy no he did not by our sins he did not buy our mistakes what did he buy he bought the sinner do you realize this he did not simply forgive us of our sins he covered
The sins of the sinner with his blood wow you realize that as Sinners as we are when he bought us a Tama um Tama is it okay and sometimes but that’s the truth amen now second Thessalonians 1 11-12 wherefore also we pray always for you and Sabi Nepal such as the thessalonica
That our God would count you Worthy of the calling and that he would fulfill all the good pleasure of his goodness and the work of Faith with power that he would what fulfill that the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you and ye in him according to the grace
Of our God if you would look at this verses okay but God who is Rich consider this in Mercy love even when we were dead in sins correct has quickened us made us alive together with Christ by Grace you’re saved and accordingly because of this Mercy love and grace
He raised us up together and made us sit together in Heavenly places in Christ Jesus now take note do not give an excuse because you do not understand this is amen correct ing responsibilities teacher foreign may I go out me we have that responsibility the Lord already did everything Mercy love Grace
And when we receive Christ foreign tamaba many people asked to be prayed for eign Mercy Grace and Love Of Christ and all that they need you know is to be comforted and to be strengthened this message will not make you strong it is the virtues and the truth in this message
That will strengthen us now again later nepalsa thessalonica we are bound to give thanks all the way to God for you because God hath from the beginning chosen you to Salvation through the sanctification of the spirit and belief of the truth he called you by Our Gospel therefore
Look at that therefore given all these al-sabi Nepal therefore you stand fast and you hold the traditions Chinese Tama tradition or handed down among ordinances truth Nila verbally acha episodes now our Lord Jesus Christ himself look at that there is a personal work of Christ in US he’s working in US
And God even Our Father which hath loved us has given to us everlasting consolation and Good Hope through Grace Comfort your hearts establish you in every good word and work and now given all this let’s go to our message proper pastor is foreign 47 years we’ve celebrated the 47 years of Lighthouse
Last March is because she is oh yeah but we look back 47 years and we look forwards is coming we move forward correct we move forward and they move on political color move on we move forward amen okay and if there would be anything we can say wow we accomplish something
You know what the truth is this he worked in US do not get the credit amen it on 1407. square meters that was purchased completely because he worked in US we went to the pandemic because he worked in US how according to this truth because he worked in you
Because he worked in you amen Carol sent me a message position oh why because he worked the Lord worked amen no the Lord worked I just delivered to you the truth amen I’m simply a voice is good Allah foreign we all give the glory we can only give all the praise to God
Because he continues to work in US amen now the thing is this how does God work in us oh Lord tamale oh exams of Fellowship um let us just do what we do because he is God because he’s our father because he’s our savior because he’s our Lord because we are his amen
So how does God work in us if Paul says what he began in you he would work working in you the God of Peace working in you now is it because we have innate among our abilities correct oh you know means foreign foreign let’s allow the Lord to work in US
So how does God Work First he worked when he gave to us his son that started it all amen so I don’t know for God so loved the world that he gave and when God gave his son the Lord Jesus Christ did not simply come to us as Son of God okay
He came to us as the word have you ever thought about that huh that he would come as word in the beginning was the word and the Word was with God and the Word was God the same word was in the beginning with God John chapter 1. why did he come as word
I am the son of God have you ever thought about that and the Word was made flesh and dwelt Among Us and we beheld this Glory the glory is of the only begotten of the father full of grace and truth in the word who came is the grace and truth foreign
The word who is the only begotten of the father when the word came to us the word boar the full Grace and Truth and of his fullness the fullness of the word have all we received Grace for Grace Grace and Truth came by Jesus Christ
Who is the Son of God and who is the word how does God work Tama Tayo we are two personality oriented pero what the word of Truth reveals here is this a bit we need to understand that if God works are you are you listening he works through the word
Which he gave to us you realize the impact of that statement huh he works through the word which was made flesh and who dwelt and who when that word came he gave Grace and Truth so therefore if God would work he would work through the word make sense Tama
Which word not your word not any other’s word okay the word capital w who take note so the Lord he came and he ministered he healed the sick everything and then came to a point when the Lord Jesus was about to give himself the cross and in Gethsemane he prayed
And he prayed to the father Italian prayer I have given them Thy Word the word Salita the very person the word himself says father I have given them your word them who silly and them in apostles what did he give the word and the world hated that because they
Are not of the world I am out of the world but I pray not that you should take them out of the world but that thou should keep them from evil they are not of the world even as I am not of the world sanctify them through thy truth remember this
Grace and Truth came by the word Tama correct now look at this now the Lord Jesus Christ says it’s thy truth it’s your truth father your word is truth now is this just a play of words now we’re talking about how God works in US amen now
You know by God’s grace by God’s grace by God’s grace by God’s Christianity foreign okay as thou has sent me into the world even so have I also sent them into the world apostles them when they would be they when they were sent to the world Angela is the word that he gave
The truth that he gave correct the word of the Father the truth of the father that came by the word who gave it to them and for their sakes I sanctify myself the Lord Jesus Christ set apart himself for this work that they might be Sanctified through thy truth foreign
I do not just pray for these apostles I do not just pray for these alone but for them also We Shall Believe on me through their word which word the word which he gave them tamaba the word which came from the father and the word who is himself they trusted
Now how does God work why have we not seen this this way well now we’re seeing it and praise God we need to understand how God works now look at this Jerusalem was it a foundation who grew huh I know was it a political party who grew
Was it a business Enterprise who grew the eclipse among apostles who continued to preach to them and deliver to them the word why because they were the ones who received the word from Christ correct and mind you during that time in New Testament the word came through the apostles
Because the lord gave the word to them amen now take note what happened look at this very carefully and I will go slow bear with me and when they prayed the place was shaken where they were assembled together assembled Together We Come Together amen that’s the Ecclesia
And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost and they spoke the word of God with boldness which word of God the word which they receive correct and the multitude of them believe that believer of one heart one Soul neither said any of them that ought of
The things which he possessed was his own but they had all things common how were they able to be this way because the word of God was given them and the word of God operated okay now look at this and the word of God increased okay increase members but increase offering but
Increase business vanilla increase the word of God increased whoo look at Acts chapter 12. we’re still in Jerusalem the word of God grew and multiply the word of God the word which they spoke word Dylan yeah go to Acts 19. so my Daily grew the word of God
And it did not just grow the word of God prevailed how does God work if the Bible says God working in you how does the word of God work John among the apostles who received the word who gave the word one of the writers I write unto you I write unto you
I write unto you I write unto you I have written unto you I have written unto you are you taking note of this what did he write he wrote what the lord gave them what did he give the word and accordingly don’t love the world and neither the things that are in the
World If any man loved the world the love of the father is not in him the word of God grew the word of God prevailed the word of God the word of God how does God work how does he operate I will end with this in the Book of Revelation you find this
And I saw heaven open and behold a white horse and he that sat upon him was called faithful and true capital F capital T his eyes were as a flame of fire and on his head were many crowns and he had a name written and no menu but he himself
And he was clothed with a vestro dipped in blood and his name is called the word of God how does God work in US remember this when he came he did not depict him as the son of God he came as word which word gave to us Grace and Truth Grace upon Grace
And which word which we found to be the word of the father and the truth of the father he gave them the apostles are you listening and the apostles delivered the word he spoke the word and when they did the word of God operated is it a mystery that’s how God works amen
And they wrote and so we have the word of God and we believe and we take hold of this and we trust Jesus Christ who is the word and he comes to us and he dwells in US and the spirit comes and makes us to discern the truth is the word of God
God works through this word and when we take this the word of God in us becomes in effect he is the word of God we do not simply accept Christ amen we accept this truth and we accept his grace and that is how he works this might be deep
But it’s time this kind of preaching is preached because we are full of things that we do we are full of things but we’re reminded do not listen to the world listen to the word of Truth it’s in you then you grow and how do we respond to this kind of a message
Lord let me be given to your word not me not even this mind not even this flesh not even what this flesh dictates but your word of Truth amen your word of good the stand and pray Heavenly Father Lord this truth is maybe hard to understand but Lord this is truth is
Through some means in this world can never be consistent with this world foreign let us take your truth as how it should be your truth let us respond to your truth as how we should respond we are yours you have bought us with the price and that is your only son
You’ve shed your blood on the cross Lord Jesus why are we so full of this world why are we so full of things of this world you’ve bought this before joining today’s the pulpit we hope you were greatly blessed by the preaching of God’s word we would like
You to have that personal experience of Salvation by accepting the Lord Jesus Christ and by doing this simple prayer you can accept Christ in your heart our dear Lord and Heavenly Father thank you for the opportunity of salvation I know I do not have the capacity in me
To save myself from the damnation of sin I accept you as my personal Lord and savior in Jesus name amen the Bible says if you have prayed this prayer but as many as received him to them gave you power to become the sons of God and the Bible says he that
Hath the son hath life if you would like to know more about the Bible send us a message via Facebook at Lighthouse BBC FB page or via text message at 0928-522-2683 we’d like you to continue growing in Christ so we invite you to join our coming together every Sunday at nine in
