00:48:17,443 Oh Lord, my strength and my redeemer, 600 00:48:18,288 --> 00:48:19,889 In Jesus' name we pray. 601 00:48:20,769 --> 00:48:21,590 Amen. 602 00:48:22,090 --> 00:48:22,530 Amen. 603 00:48:22,570 --> 00:48:23,891 Come on and put your hands on it. 604 00:48:23,911 --> 00:48:25,212 Give the Lord some praise. 605 00:48:27,733 --> 00:48:28,053 Amen. 606 00:48:28,073 --> 00:48:30,434 You may be seated in the house of the Lord tonight. 607 00:48:34,036 --> 00:48:39,199 First and foremost, I want to give honor tonight to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. 608 00:48:40,860 --> 00:48:43,281 I give honor to our superintendent tonight. 609 00:48:43,341 --> 00:48:45,702 Come on and put a hand on that for our superintendent. 610 00:48:47,683 --> 00:48:49,365 Edward Parker, a man. 611 00:48:49,545 --> 00:48:50,806 Thank God for him and. 612 00:48:51,787 --> 00:48:57,472 And we thank God for this district meeting to our district missionary, a man. 613 00:48:59,034 --> 00:49:02,357 To our emeritus Superintendent John Gibson. 614 00:49:04,963 --> 00:49:13,347 To my lovely wife, First Lady Howard, thank God for her and the members of Spirit Field that came along with us, amen. 615 00:49:14,608 --> 00:49:22,232 To all the pastors, ministers, elders, missionaries, deacons, all of you in your respectful places tonight. 616 00:49:23,573 --> 00:49:30,936 I also want to give special honor to my special guests, brothers and sisters that came out to be with us tonight. 617 00:49:36,345 --> 00:49:39,986 Last but not least, I give honor to our bishop in his absence tonight. 618 00:49:41,507 --> 00:49:41,907 Amen. 619 00:49:43,108 --> 00:49:45,008 So I try not to be before you very long. 620 00:49:46,569 --> 00:49:50,070 Normally, when I say that, I get a little laughter from my group. 621 00:49:51,271 --> 00:49:53,391 It's very few, but they being nice tonight. 622 00:49:53,472 --> 00:49:56,253 Amen. 623 00:49:57,193 --> 00:50:01,695 Anyway, we're going to move about, and we're going to do the business that the Lord has called us here to do tonight. 624 00:50:03,055 --> 00:50:04,256 I want to come at you tonight. 625 00:50:04,296 --> 00:50:05,076 I'm going to come at you. 626 00:50:06,189 --> 00:50:13,037 Our key theme verse is, I must work the works of him that sent me while it is day, for the night is coming when no man can work. 627 00:50:13,518 --> 00:50:24,111 But I'm gonna back up and I'm gonna read verses one through five from John the ninth chapter and it says, and as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth. 628 00:50:25,109 --> 00:50:32,116 And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man or his parents, that he was born blind? 629 00:50:32,937 --> 00:50:41,365 Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sin, nor his parents, but that the works of God should be made manifest in him. 630 00:50:42,404 --> 00:50:47,186 I must work the works of him that sent me while it is day. 631 00:50:47,906 --> 00:50:50,747 The night cometh when no man can work. 632 00:50:51,447 --> 00:50:56,069 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world. 633 00:50:57,529 --> 00:51:02,851 Our theme scripture, I must work the works of him that sent me while it is day. 634 00:51:02,871 --> 00:51:06,312 The night cometh when no man can work. 635 00:51:07,133 --> 00:51:10,814 The King James Version, which is my version of choice, 636 00:51:11,843 --> 00:51:16,625 It's one of the only versions that says I must work the works. 637 00:51:17,465 --> 00:51:21,887 Most of all other translations says we must work the works. 638 00:51:22,748 --> 00:51:28,790 For example, the King James Amplified version says we must work the works of him who sent me while it is day. 639 00:51:29,271 --> 00:51:32,052 Night is coming when no man can work. 640 00:51:33,015 --> 00:51:40,160 The NLT, New Living Translation, reads, we must quickly carry out the task assigned to us by the one who sent us. 641 00:51:41,100 --> 00:51:44,363 The night is coming, and then no one can work. 642 00:51:45,874 --> 00:51:50,235 New International Version, as long as it is day, we must do the works of him who sent me. 643 00:51:50,315 --> 00:51:53,176 Night is coming when no man can work. 644 00:51:54,116 --> 00:52:04,678 Last but not least, Amplified Classic reads, we must work the works of him who sent me and be busy with his business while it is daylight. 645 00:52:05,418 --> 00:52:09,019 Night is coming on when no man can work. 646 00:52:10,159 --> 00:52:14,820 Our theme for this week and our national theme is we've got work to do. 647 00:52:16,072 --> 00:52:20,257 Now why don't you just look around at two or three people and tell them we've got work to do. 648 00:52:23,829 --> 00:52:30,355 Let me start by saying that Jesus understood God's plan for his life to be a must. 649 00:52:31,135 --> 00:52:33,797 It was a must, it was not an option. 650 00:52:34,558 --> 00:52:38,341 I must work the works of him that sent me while it is day. 651 00:52:38,361 --> 00:52:41,184 The night cometh when no man can work. 652 00:52:41,604 --> 00:52:49,831 Jesus was driven by a passion and a desire to do, first of all, what God wanted him to do in life. 653 00:52:51,056 --> 00:52:56,819 Jesus said, I came down from heaven not to do mine own will, but the will of Him that sent me. 654 00:52:57,419 --> 00:53:06,423 And this is the Father's will which has sent me, that of all which He has given me, I shall lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. 655 00:53:07,123 --> 00:53:14,987 And this is the will of Him that sent me, that everyone which sees the Son and believeth on Him may have everlasting life. 656 00:53:15,407 --> 00:53:17,948 And I will raise Him up at the last day. 657 00:53:19,597 --> 00:53:29,243 You see, Jesus was driven by a strong sense of personal responsibility to fulfill God's task for his life. 658 00:53:30,464 --> 00:53:35,046 And he made that task one to which he gave the greatest priority. 659 00:53:36,467 --> 00:53:45,433 Even as a child in the temple, Jesus said to his parents, didn't you know that I must be about my father's business? 660 00:53:46,331 --> 00:53:53,360 What should be rolling off all of our tongues and out of all of our mouths is, I must be about my father's business. 661 00:53:54,261 --> 00:54:00,670 You see, Jesus sensed an urgency to do the mission of God while it was still day. 662 00:54:01,778 --> 00:54:08,282 Jesus said that there were things that he had to do and must do while it is day. 663 00:54:08,802 --> 00:54:11,263 Because the night cometh when no man can work. 664 00:54:11,323 --> 00:54:12,264 Now stay with me. 665 00:54:12,744 --> 00:54:16,266 And just like Jesus, we haven't got much time. 666 00:54:16,826 --> 00:54:18,627 The day is for a spin. 667 00:54:19,188 --> 00:54:30,174 It's not that I ought to, it's not that I could, it's not that I should, it's not that I might, but it's that I must be about my father's business. 668 00:54:31,229 --> 00:54:38,135 We got work to do while it is day because the night is coming when no man can work. 669 00:54:39,216 --> 00:54:49,865 Not during Jesus' time on earth and some of us are old enough to remember that people used to work from daylight or from sunup to sundown. 670 00:54:51,397 --> 00:55:01,862 And they really didn't need to know anything about daylight savings time when it came to working because all they knew was that work was from sun up to sun down. 671 00:55:03,383 --> 00:55:04,584 Somebody ought to say amen. 672 00:55:05,965 --> 00:55:16,230 And so Jesus was using this real life example that everybody listening was able to understand and to comprehend. 673 00:55:17,059 --> 00:55:24,001 And he said, I must work the works of him that sent me while it is day, the night cometh, when no man can work. 674 00:55:24,261 --> 00:55:33,244 You see, oftentimes Jesus spoke in parables like this, and a parable is simply an ordinary earthly story with a heavenly meaning. 675 00:55:34,405 --> 00:55:41,387 In this statement, Jesus understood that opportunities for service and doing good don't last forever. 676 00:55:42,591 --> 00:55:48,113 And so today was the most effective time to work, but it was also a limited time. 677 00:55:49,113 --> 00:55:57,795 In an era without electricity, night was by necessity a time when less work could be done on account of the darkness. 678 00:55:59,296 --> 00:56:04,977 Now God never designed, created, or planned for us to just sit around and do nothing. 679 00:56:06,437 --> 00:56:11,819 From the beginning of time, God planned for us to be busy doing something. 680 00:56:13,743 --> 00:56:19,395 Even before the fall, God placed Adam in the Garden of Eden and told him to tend to the garden. 681 00:56:21,600 --> 00:56:22,442 He had a job. 682 00:56:23,224 --> 00:56:24,246 He had work to do. 683 00:56:25,540 --> 00:56:30,406 The Apostle Paul even spoke a word in 2 Thessalonians, the third chapter, bear with me. 684 00:56:30,866 --> 00:56:43,160 Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us. 685 00:56:43,240 --> 00:56:46,384 For yourselves know how you ought to follow us. 686 00:56:46,784 --> 00:56:59,792 For we behave not ourselves disorderly among you, neither did we eat any man's bread for naught, but wrought with labor and travail night and day, that we might not be chargeable to any of you. 687 00:57:00,252 --> 00:57:06,716 Not because we have not power, but to make ourselves an example unto you to follow us. 688 00:57:07,277 --> 00:57:15,702 For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat. 689 00:57:18,752 --> 00:57:25,435 That would change a whole lot of young people's status today if their food source was cut off. 690 00:57:27,436 --> 00:57:35,060 For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies. 691 00:57:35,980 --> 00:57:45,985 Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus that with quietness they work and eat their own bread. 692 00:57:47,406 --> 00:57:47,966 No world 693 00:57:48,911 --> 00:57:58,076 In all creation from the Garden of Eden to heaven in the future, does it ever say that God created us to just sit around and do nothing? 694 00:57:59,596 --> 00:58:04,959 Mark Twain wrote, never put off till tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow. 695 00:58:08,157 --> 00:58:22,332 Ephesians 5, 15, and 16 from the NIV Bible says, be very careful then how you live not as unwise but as wise, redeeming every opportunity because the days are evil. 696 00:58:23,493 --> 00:58:28,035 The Greek word translated redeem is a form of the word that means to bow, to purchase. 697 00:58:28,375 --> 00:58:32,057 It usually refers to Jesus Christ purchasing our salvation. 698 00:58:32,817 --> 00:58:42,822 Redeeming the time is not referring primarily to the hours and minutes of the Christian's day, but rather to the opportunities that we have to serve God. 699 00:58:44,483 --> 00:58:52,227 He has given us only so many hours, so many days on this earth to use as opportunities 700 00:58:52,987 --> 00:58:53,827 to serve him. 701 00:58:55,068 --> 00:58:58,189 How much of your day is used to serve him? 702 00:58:59,589 --> 00:59:02,950 How much of your day is spent telling others about him? 703 00:59:04,291 --> 00:59:09,712 How much of your day is spent teaching your children's God's ways? 704 00:59:11,333 --> 00:59:16,875 I read the heartbreaking story of a little boy whose dad was always busy. 705 00:59:18,155 --> 00:59:21,376 One day the boy asked, Dad, how much money do you earn in an hour? 706 00:59:22,332 --> 00:59:23,813 Them patient dads say, I don't know. 707 00:59:23,873 --> 00:59:26,496 I guess I make about $50 an hour when I'm working. 708 00:59:26,516 --> 00:59:27,396 Now, don't bother me. 709 00:59:27,416 --> 00:59:27,957 I'm busy. 710 00:59:28,998 --> 00:59:36,284 After a couple of weeks of doing odd jobs around his neighborhood, the little boy approached his dad one evening and said, Dad, here's $25. 711 00:59:37,926 --> 00:59:42,770 Can I buy 30 minutes of your time just so we can play together? 712 00:59:44,414 --> 00:59:47,575 You see, the time that we are given is not ours. 713 00:59:48,355 --> 00:59:53,116 It belongs to the Lord, which he has entrusted unto us. 714 00:59:54,216 --> 00:59:56,057 Can you give him a little of it? 715 00:59:57,197 --> 00:59:58,457 He bought it with his blood. 716 01:00:00,098 --> 01:00:02,258 Can you store it somewhere tonight? 717 01:00:03,359 --> 01:00:05,359 Because our time is not ours. 718 01:00:06,419 --> 01:00:06,920 It's his. 719 01:00:08,560 --> 01:00:12,741 The Apostle James said time is like a vapor, just for a moment. 720 01:00:14,096 --> 01:00:21,061 He reads, go to now, ye that say today or tomorrow we will go into such a city and continue there a year and buy and sell and get gain. 721 01:00:21,341 --> 01:00:24,804 Whereas you know not what shall be on tomorrow, for what is your life? 722 01:00:24,864 --> 01:00:29,467 It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away. 723 01:00:30,128 --> 01:00:35,431 For that you ought to say, if the Lord will, we shall live and do this or do that. 724 01:00:36,752 --> 01:00:39,755 One of the greatest destroyers of dreams is tomorrow. 725 01:00:41,236 --> 01:00:42,797 Tomorrow I'm gonna stop this. 726 01:00:43,939 --> 01:00:46,660 Tomorrow I'm going to start this project or that project. 727 01:00:47,520 --> 01:00:52,482 The Bible says, boast not thyself of tomorrow, for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth. 728 01:00:53,523 --> 01:01:00,125 Alexander Graham Bell said, the only difference between success and failure is the ability to take action. 729 01:01:01,005 --> 01:01:02,706 It is the ability to get started. 730 01:01:03,386 --> 01:01:11,089 You see, there is a saying that goes, the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. 731 01:01:12,423 --> 01:01:26,589 God created us with a purpose for a mission that we must quickly carry out the task assigned to us by the one who sent us because the night is coming and then no one can work. 732 01:01:28,250 --> 01:01:38,034 Jesus had to be speaking of the fact that there were people all around him that needed saving and he only had a short window of opportunity 733 01:01:38,652 --> 01:01:39,773 to reach and touch them. 734 01:01:39,813 --> 01:01:48,156 The Bible says in Hebrews 9, 27, familiar scripture, and it is appointed unto all men once to die, but after this to judgment. 735 01:01:48,576 --> 01:01:50,157 You see, judgment follows death. 736 01:01:50,197 --> 01:01:54,359 There is no time for any decisions about God after death. 737 01:01:56,906 --> 01:02:02,911 The Bible says in the book of Psalms, as for the man, his days are as grass, as a flower of the field, so he flourishes. 738 01:02:03,312 --> 01:02:07,255 For the wind passes over it and it is gone, and the place thereof shall know it no more. 739 01:02:07,836 --> 01:02:17,304 It is no wonder then that the Psalmist said in Psalms 90, so teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts under wisdom. 740 01:02:18,004 --> 01:02:20,727 You see, you can't buy life insurance for a dead person. 741 01:02:21,861 --> 01:02:27,505 Even so, there is a time when the window of opportunity for salvation is eternally closed. 742 01:02:28,606 --> 01:02:35,791 We should be working the works of Jesus while we still can, while the window is still open. 743 01:02:36,727 --> 01:02:53,793 Jesus said again in Matthew 28, 19, and 20, you know it, go ye therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I've commanded you, and Lord, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. 744 01:02:54,313 --> 01:02:59,935 You see, we need to stay faithful to our assignment, knowing that God is with us every step of the way. 745 01:03:00,475 --> 01:03:03,056 For that reason, we gotta go back to the old time way. 746 01:03:04,346 --> 01:03:06,667 we gotta start back hitting the hedges and the highways. 747 01:03:08,027 --> 01:03:14,469 Jesus said, go out quickly into the streets and the lanes of the city and bring in hither the poor and the maimed and the haught and the blind. 748 01:03:14,869 --> 01:03:19,151 And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou has commanded and yet there is room. 749 01:03:20,331 --> 01:03:27,273 And the Lord said unto the servant, go out into the highways and the hedges and compel them to come in that my house may be filled. 750 01:03:28,253 --> 01:03:29,494 Now why did he tell us this? 751 01:03:30,305 --> 01:03:34,109 Watch this because the people started making excuses. 752 01:03:36,091 --> 01:03:39,654 Just like many are doing today, making excuses. 753 01:03:41,155 --> 01:03:43,357 I say this and I hope not to offend anyone. 754 01:03:43,698 --> 01:03:47,021 We know we have a lot of people watching on Facebook and Facebook is popular. 755 01:03:47,361 --> 01:03:52,446 I prayed about Facebook and social media after I got back after we came out of COVID. 756 01:03:52,901 --> 01:03:57,303 and everything, and I said, well, people keep telling me they're watching it on Facebook. 757 01:03:57,363 --> 01:03:59,083 Maybe I need to shut down Facebook. 758 01:03:59,383 --> 01:04:01,524 And so I prayed about it, and I prayed about it. 759 01:04:01,904 --> 01:04:03,645 And the Lord, the Holy Spirit spoke to me. 760 01:04:03,665 --> 01:04:08,107 The Holy Spirit will talk to you if you talk to Him, if you pray and fast. 761 01:04:08,367 --> 01:04:11,448 And the Holy Spirit say, they've always had social media. 762 01:04:12,108 --> 01:04:14,329 He said, they always had TV and the radio. 763 01:04:14,809 --> 01:04:16,930 He said, if they wanna come, they gonna come. 764 01:04:18,470 --> 01:04:19,391 Am I right about it? 765 01:04:20,603 --> 01:04:24,204 Now, no disrespect to those watching, because we love for people. 766 01:04:24,244 --> 01:04:25,744 We're trying to get the message out. 767 01:04:26,184 --> 01:04:27,565 But I heard it like this. 768 01:04:28,425 --> 01:04:33,046 Sitting home watching the message is like sitting beside a TV with a fireplace on it. 769 01:04:33,446 --> 01:04:36,387 You see the fire, but you can't feel the warmth of the Holy Ghost. 770 01:04:37,747 --> 01:04:43,088 Jesus said, there's one coming after me that shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire. 771 01:04:44,549 --> 01:04:45,469 Am I right about it? 772 01:04:48,354 --> 01:04:49,714 So why did he tell us that? 773 01:04:49,794 --> 01:04:51,275 Because they were making excuses. 774 01:04:51,595 --> 01:04:55,036 The Bible says, and they all with one consent began to make excuse. 775 01:04:55,436 --> 01:04:59,657 The first said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it. 776 01:05:00,157 --> 01:05:01,937 I pray that they have me excused. 777 01:05:02,277 --> 01:05:06,078 Another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them. 778 01:05:06,138 --> 01:05:07,558 I pray that you have me excused. 779 01:05:07,578 --> 01:05:09,339 Now you know that's a big excuse still. 780 01:05:09,679 --> 01:05:11,459 Going to go out and try some oxen at night. 781 01:05:11,919 --> 01:05:14,020 And another said, I have married a wife. 782 01:05:14,640 --> 01:05:16,061 And therefore I cannot come. 783 01:05:16,702 --> 01:05:19,003 So that servant came and showed his Lord these things. 784 01:05:19,043 --> 01:05:28,010 Then the master of the house being angry said to the servant, go out quickly into the streets and the lanes of the city. 785 01:05:29,271 --> 01:05:31,633 Now come on and look at your neighbor and tell him we got work to do. 786 01:05:32,894 --> 01:05:36,797 Because the night is coming when no man can work. 787 01:05:38,109 --> 01:05:39,270 I'm going to preach in a little while. 788 01:05:39,810 --> 01:05:43,931 Jesus is not talking about a physical harvest of fruits and vegetables. 789 01:05:55,296 --> 01:05:58,060 He's talking about spiritual harvesting of people. 790 01:05:58,400 --> 01:06:01,504 He's talking about the harvest of souls for salvation. 791 01:06:01,945 --> 01:06:09,956 And the main reason why there are only a few workers in the harvest field is because we don't see the harvest, watch this, like Jesus does. 792 01:06:12,386 --> 01:06:22,419 The Bible says that when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them because they fainted and were scattered abroad as sheep having no shepherd. 793 01:06:23,100 --> 01:06:29,649 You see, the Bible teaches us that there is great joy in heaven over one sinner that repents. 794 01:06:30,683 --> 01:06:40,632 Now watch this, it doesn't mean that everyone has to go to far away places to serve in missions, but everyone has a role to fulfill in God's harvest field. 795 01:06:41,473 --> 01:06:43,535 Think of all the people you see every day. 796 01:06:44,416 --> 01:06:49,861 Families, friends, neighbors, work associates, saints of God, that's our mission field. 797 01:06:50,462 --> 01:06:53,485 And we are responsible to them and for them. 798 01:06:54,125 --> 01:06:55,567 Can I ask y'all a question? 799 01:06:56,347 --> 01:07:02,528 When was the last time you shared the gospel with a friend, a co-worker, or a neighbor? 800 01:07:02,988 --> 01:07:08,310 The field is the world, and there are some crack and meth addicts that need deliverance. 801 01:07:08,750 --> 01:07:11,610 There are some alcoholics that need to be delivered. 802 01:07:11,990 --> 01:07:13,471 Can I preach it like I feel it? 803 01:07:13,911 --> 01:07:21,212 There are some liars, there are some crooks, some ho-mongers, some fornicators, some adulterers, some bike bottles. 804 01:07:21,472 --> 01:07:24,713 Watch this, and some of those were some of you at one time. 805 01:07:25,353 --> 01:07:28,374 There were some haters out there that need Jesus. 806 01:07:28,834 --> 01:07:31,815 Some single parent families that need a helping hand. 807 01:07:32,295 --> 01:07:33,615 We got work to do. 808 01:07:34,075 --> 01:07:36,576 We all need a little help every now and then. 809 01:07:36,596 --> 01:07:47,058 And if it had not been for the Lord who was on our side, there are some on welfare who's not faring very well. 810 01:07:47,559 --> 01:07:53,040 There are those who are stumbling in dark paths of sin, who stands in the need of salvation. 811 01:07:54,974 --> 01:08:07,263 There are those who are downtrodden with the cares of this world, and we need to offer them Jesus, who is far better than anything that the world has to offer. 812 01:08:07,283 --> 01:08:13,747 We got a sign outside of our church, and oftentimes my wife will come up with something, and she'll put on it. 813 01:08:13,767 --> 01:08:19,812 We was in prayer service last night, and I say, the sign has been empty, so we need to put something on it. 814 01:08:20,312 --> 01:08:24,395 And then they just come to me like this, very simple, Jesus is down. 815 01:08:26,693 --> 01:08:27,755 Jesus is the answer. 816 01:08:28,355 --> 01:08:43,756 Whatever your situation is, whatever your problem is, whatever we run up on anybody, whatever's going on in their life, whether they're home-mongers, bite-biters, adulterers, fornicators, drunkards, crackheads, madheads, Jesus is the answer. 817 01:08:47,461 --> 01:08:53,848 We gotta let them know that Jesus said, come unto me all you that labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest. 818 01:08:54,288 --> 01:08:56,651 Take my yoke upon you and learn of me. 819 01:08:57,111 --> 01:09:01,696 For I am meek and lowly in heart and you shall find rest unto your souls. 820 01:09:01,736 --> 01:09:05,140 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light. 821 01:09:05,941 --> 01:09:06,742 We got work to do. 822 01:09:07,830 --> 01:09:11,574 The Lord is looking for someone he can trust to get the job done. 823 01:09:12,195 --> 01:09:19,443 God is looking for some dependable and loyal people who are not in it for self gain, but for the gain of others. 824 01:09:20,164 --> 01:09:26,811 All of us from the pulpit to the door must be prayerful and diligent in our work for the kingdom of God. 825 01:09:27,930 --> 01:09:30,310 All of us ought to make kingdom building our business. 826 01:09:31,011 --> 01:09:31,971 We got work to do. 827 01:09:32,691 --> 01:09:38,272 Not only are we to pray for others to go into the harvest, but we ought to become harvesters ourselves. 828 01:09:38,972 --> 01:09:42,973 The Lord is looking for someone he can trust to get the job done. 829 01:09:43,913 --> 01:09:44,893 I'm almost finished. 830 01:09:45,733 --> 01:09:54,155 God is looking for some dependable and loyal folk who are not in it for self gain, but for the gain of others. 831 01:09:54,975 --> 01:09:56,175 So my question tonight, 832 01:09:57,273 --> 01:09:59,434 How concerned are you for your brothers and sisters? 833 01:10:00,295 --> 01:10:01,875 Can I preach it like I feel it tonight? 834 01:10:02,696 --> 01:10:04,537 Where were you when your brother was hungry? 835 01:10:05,277 --> 01:10:07,218 Where were you when your brother was thirsty? 836 01:10:07,698 --> 01:10:09,739 Where were you when your brother was a stranger? 837 01:10:10,220 --> 01:10:12,180 Where were you when your brother was homeless? 838 01:10:12,541 --> 01:10:14,402 Where were you when your brother was naked? 839 01:10:14,782 --> 01:10:16,583 Where were you when your brother was sick? 840 01:10:16,983 --> 01:10:19,584 Where were you when your brother was in jail and prison? 841 01:10:20,104 --> 01:10:24,987 Jesus said, inasmuch as you did it for the least of these, my brothers, you did it 842 01:10:26,483 --> 01:10:27,343 Also unto me. 843 01:10:29,464 --> 01:10:35,986 Jesus is saying, don't worry about it if you don't receive any pats on the back. 844 01:10:36,767 --> 01:10:38,727 Remember, you're doing it for me. 845 01:10:39,768 --> 01:10:43,609 Jesus is saying, don't worry about it if your efforts are not recognized. 846 01:10:44,469 --> 01:10:45,790 Remember, you're doing it for me. 847 01:10:46,650 --> 01:10:49,951 Jesus is saying, don't worry about it if they don't want to pay you. 848 01:10:50,691 --> 01:10:52,012 Remember, you're doing it for me. 849 01:10:53,160 --> 01:10:56,861 And Jesus is saying, don't worry about it if they talk about you behind your back. 850 01:10:57,441 --> 01:10:59,202 Remember, you're doing it for me. 851 01:10:59,822 --> 01:11:03,103 And don't worry about it if they don't appreciate you. 852 01:11:03,763 --> 01:11:06,063 Remember, you're doing it for me. 853 01:11:06,764 --> 01:11:11,325 In fact, our rewards in heaven will be determined by the way we treat others. 854 01:11:11,685 --> 01:11:18,787 Those who are hungry, those who are homeless, those who are poor, those who are diseased, those who are imprisoned. 855 01:11:19,895 --> 01:11:26,205 Verily I say unto you, and as much as you have done it unto one of these, a list of my brethren, you have done it unto me. 856 01:11:27,186 --> 01:11:35,479 The apostle Paul said, and as we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto some men. 857 01:11:37,273 --> 01:11:43,377 Let us do good to all men, as therefore we have opportunity to let us do good unto all men. 858 01:11:43,857 --> 01:11:44,138 Amen. 859 01:11:44,518 --> 01:11:48,460 Especially unto them who are of the household of faith. 860 01:11:48,981 --> 01:11:52,303 Especially unto them who are of the household of faith. 861 01:11:52,343 --> 01:11:53,864 But don't forget the all part. 862 01:11:54,985 --> 01:11:58,387 Oh, we can bless each other, but sometimes you need to go outside the wall. 863 01:11:58,487 --> 01:11:59,888 I wish I had some help tonight. 864 01:12:01,112 --> 01:12:03,714 What we do for others, we do for Christ. 865 01:12:04,555 --> 01:12:07,117 It's only what we do for Christ that's gonna last. 866 01:12:07,798 --> 01:12:10,580 Jesus says, when you saw me a stranger, you took me in. 867 01:12:10,620 --> 01:12:12,822 When you saw me naked, you clothed me. 868 01:12:13,162 --> 01:12:16,124 When you saw me sick in prison, you came to me. 869 01:12:17,425 --> 01:12:22,950 Jesus said, inasmuch as you did it for the least of these, my brethren, you also did it unto me. 870 01:12:24,031 --> 01:12:28,975 We got work to do, because the night is coming, and then no man can work. 871 01:12:30,174 --> 01:12:35,378 So as I go to my seat, I'm reminded of Nehemiah. 872 01:12:37,119 --> 01:12:41,422 Nehemiah had a heart for the work of God. 873 01:12:43,243 --> 01:12:47,006 They tried to intimidate Nehemiah and the people of God. 874 01:12:47,666 --> 01:12:54,251 They ridiculed him, they mocked him, hoping to shame him and make him lose heart in rebuilding the wall. 875 01:12:55,479 --> 01:13:04,805 In chapter four it says, but when Sanballat heard that we were rebuilding the wall, he became furious, completely enraged, and he ridiculed the Jews. 876 01:13:05,445 --> 01:13:10,228 He spoke before his brothers and the army of Samaria, what are these feeble Jews doing? 877 01:13:10,649 --> 01:13:12,530 Can they restore it for themselves? 878 01:13:12,590 --> 01:13:14,371 Can they offer sacrifices? 879 01:13:14,751 --> 01:13:16,352 Can they finish in a day? 880 01:13:16,832 --> 01:13:22,376 Can they revive the stones from the heaps of the dust and rubbish, even the ones that have been burned? 881 01:13:22,916 --> 01:13:32,020 Now Tobiah the Ammonite was beside him, and he said, even what they are building, if a fox should get up on it, he would break down the stone wall. 882 01:13:33,161 --> 01:13:38,023 And Nehemiah prayed, hear, O our God, how we are despised. 883 01:13:38,083 --> 01:13:40,284 Return their taunts on their own heads. 884 01:13:40,764 --> 01:13:43,805 Give them us as a prey in the land of captivity. 885 01:13:44,205 --> 01:13:51,969 Do not forgive their wrongdoing, and do not let their sin be wiped out before you, for they have offended the builders and provoked you. 886 01:13:53,917 --> 01:14:02,763 So we built the wall, and the entire wall was joined together to have a site for the people had a heart to work. 887 01:14:04,924 --> 01:14:15,251 Then in the sixth chapter, now when Sanballat, Tobiah, Geshem, the Arab, and the rest of our enemies heard that I had rebuilt the wall, 888 01:14:16,272 --> 01:14:21,818 And there was no breach left in there, although at that time I had not set up doors in the gates. 889 01:14:22,419 --> 01:14:29,527 Sandballot and Gasham sent word to me saying, come, let us meet together in Chaperon in the plain of Ono. 890 01:14:30,168 --> 01:14:31,890 But they were planning to harm me. 891 01:14:33,584 --> 01:14:40,050 So I sent messages to them saying, I am doing a great work and cannot come down. 892 01:14:40,831 --> 01:14:46,436 Why should the work stop while I leave to come down to meet with you? 893 01:14:47,637 --> 01:14:53,022 Everything they tried failed to stop Nehemiah and his team from rebuilding the wall. 894 01:14:54,062 --> 01:14:56,083 Nehemiah said, I'm doing a great work. 895 01:14:56,363 --> 01:14:59,484 It was a great work because it was a work for God. 896 01:15:00,124 --> 01:15:03,865 Watch this, Satan will bring problems to delay God's work. 897 01:15:04,465 --> 01:15:11,627 When we get busy doing God's work, the devil will do all he can to delay us or to prevent us from getting the job done. 898 01:15:12,347 --> 01:15:17,728 Satan sometimes uses things to distract us from what really needs to be done. 899 01:15:18,208 --> 01:15:25,950 Distraction is defined as something that interferes with our concentration or something that takes our attention away. 900 01:15:26,490 --> 01:15:30,471 We have many believers today who are loyal to Jesus and the gospel. 901 01:15:30,831 --> 01:15:35,692 They profess their love for God and they do things out of their love for him. 902 01:15:36,272 --> 01:15:46,521 These people get excited about God's kingdom and His work, but they have the tendency to get easily distracted from the work that God has called them to do. 903 01:15:48,202 --> 01:15:55,148 These men tried almost everything in the book to distract Nehemiah from doing what God had called him to do. 904 01:15:56,235 --> 01:15:58,897 So I just come out tonight to encourage somebody. 905 01:15:59,637 --> 01:16:03,820 I just stop by to tell somebody we got to stay on the wall. 906 01:16:03,860 --> 01:16:06,502 When you're doing a good work, don't come down. 907 01:16:07,002 --> 01:16:10,825 Now come on and look at your neighbor and tell him I'm doing a great work. 908 01:16:12,501 --> 01:16:13,742 And I can't come down. 909 01:16:14,823 --> 01:16:16,284 I gotta go to my seat now. 910 01:16:16,324 --> 01:16:29,393 But whenever you start a work for God, whether it's teaching a class or preaching a sermon or just witnessing about the goodness of God, not to mention pastoring or building a church, some will begin to feel threatened. 911 01:16:29,774 --> 01:16:34,377 Remember, the enemy doesn't want you to succeed in anything that you do for God. 912 01:16:34,957 --> 01:16:38,360 Somebody will start asking questions about your dedication. 913 01:16:38,960 --> 01:16:40,562 What's he or she teaching? 914 01:16:41,102 --> 01:16:43,224 Oh, what are they doing over there? 915 01:16:43,944 --> 01:16:45,706 Oh, why they shout so much? 916 01:16:46,506 --> 01:16:48,348 I don't like the way they teach the Bible. 917 01:16:48,968 --> 01:16:50,149 But here's the deal. 918 01:16:50,790 --> 01:16:54,573 They hating, but they couldn't find Genesis with a magnifying glass. 919 01:16:55,133 --> 01:16:58,216 And they still think the book of Job means job. 920 01:16:58,816 --> 01:17:01,478 Well, I stopped by tonight to tell somebody. 921 01:17:02,239 --> 01:17:03,380 Stay on the wall. 922 01:17:04,001 --> 01:17:05,382 We got work to do. 923 01:17:05,922 --> 01:17:07,624 Can I preach it like I feel it? 924 01:17:08,164 --> 01:17:11,747 You can be the one cleaning the church, cutting the grass. 925 01:17:12,227 --> 01:17:15,190 And the funny thing is, nobody else wanted to do it. 926 01:17:15,710 --> 01:17:23,197 But just as soon as you started doing it, somebody will always be trying to criticize you about how you're doing it. 927 01:17:23,917 --> 01:17:25,138 You missed a spot. 928 01:17:25,778 --> 01:17:26,839 You forgot this. 929 01:17:27,519 --> 01:17:28,580 You forgot that. 930 01:17:29,280 --> 01:17:30,721 Why are you doing it like that? 931 01:17:31,341 --> 01:17:32,902 Are you getting paid to do it? 932 01:17:33,482 --> 01:17:35,163 I wouldn't do that if I were you. 933 01:17:35,764 --> 01:17:37,024 Well, let them talk. 934 01:17:37,525 --> 01:17:39,826 Let them make plans to try and stop you. 935 01:17:40,346 --> 01:17:43,428 When you're on the wall, you're doing a good work. 936 01:17:44,048 --> 01:17:48,812 People will lie on you, they will talk about you, they will plot against you. 937 01:17:49,252 --> 01:17:56,678 But do me a favor, stay on the wall and don't come down because we got work to do. 938 01:17:57,398 --> 01:18:01,462 I heard the Apostle Paul said, if God be for us, 939 01:18:02,142 --> 01:18:03,483 who can be against us. 940 01:18:03,964 --> 01:18:09,067 When you're all about God's business, Satan will always try to hold you back. 941 01:18:09,568 --> 01:18:14,332 Jesus said a thief cometh not, but to steal, kill, and destroy. 942 01:18:14,832 --> 01:18:20,676 But I've come that you might have life, and that you might have it more abundantly. 943 01:18:21,217 --> 01:18:23,158 Tell your neighbor, we got work to do. 944 01:18:24,199 --> 01:18:39,535 No weapon that is formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue that shall rise up against thee in the judgment thou shalt condemn, because greater is he that is in you. 945 01:18:40,416 --> 01:18:42,359 than he that is in the world. 946 01:18:42,879 --> 01:18:47,726 He will always challenge your commitment to stay on the wall. 947 01:18:48,346 --> 01:18:54,514 But thanks be to God, which giveth us a victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 948 01:18:55,015 --> 01:18:56,837 Therefore, my beloved brethren, 949 01:18:57,498 --> 01:19:04,080 Be ye steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of your Lord. 950 01:19:04,600 --> 01:19:09,502 For as much as you know, your labor is not in vain. 951 01:19:10,122 --> 01:19:11,362 We got work to do. 952 01:19:11,962 --> 01:19:16,004 We must work the works of him that sent us while it is day. 953 01:19:16,504 --> 01:19:19,685 For the night is coming when no man can work. 954 01:19:20,285 --> 01:19:21,826 We gotta stay on the wall. 955 01:19:22,367 --> 01:19:28,191 We gotta put our foot down like Nehemiah and say, why should the work stop? 956 01:19:28,871 --> 01:19:30,392 I'm doing God's work here. 957 01:19:31,173 --> 01:19:32,514 I was called for this. 958 01:19:33,234 --> 01:19:34,735 I was created for this. 959 01:19:35,536 --> 01:19:37,817 Pastors, stay on the wall. 960 01:19:38,718 --> 01:19:40,980 Church, stay on the wall. 961 01:19:41,561 --> 01:19:42,802 We got work to do. 962 01:19:43,423 --> 01:19:46,586 The night is coming when no man can work. 963 01:19:47,287 --> 01:19:50,109 The Nehemiah, he was a focused man. 964 01:19:50,730 --> 01:19:53,352 Nehemiah was a man on a mission. 965 01:19:54,113 --> 01:19:58,358 a mission directly from God about rebuilding the wall. 966 01:19:58,979 --> 01:20:04,184 He was focused and determined to complete the task that was not going to be distracted. 967 01:20:04,705 --> 01:20:09,951 We must have the same attitude as Nehemiah did at this time. 968 01:20:10,451 --> 01:20:15,257 He basically said to these men, go away, stop bothering me. 969 01:20:15,817 --> 01:20:17,580 I'm too busy working for God. 970 01:20:18,181 --> 01:20:23,809 I'm not going to allow you to distract me from the work that God has called me to do. 971 01:20:24,610 --> 01:20:27,113 Some of us have gotten distracted from the mission. 972 01:20:27,894 --> 01:20:31,359 Jesus knew that the night of the cross was coming. 973 01:20:31,940 --> 01:20:39,802 And he had to press on while it was still day and do the works of God, the Father who had called him. 974 01:20:40,342 --> 01:20:42,002 The same is true for us. 975 01:20:42,642 --> 01:20:44,243 Our time here is limited. 976 01:20:44,923 --> 01:20:51,344 Our night will come when there is no more possible to demonstrate the glory of God. 977 01:20:52,005 --> 01:20:53,385 God is saying to us, 978 01:20:54,225 --> 01:20:56,046 Now is the time. 979 01:20:56,746 --> 01:20:58,727 Today is the day. 980 01:20:59,328 --> 01:21:03,950 We are called to be light in the world to those that have lost their ways. 981 01:21:04,550 --> 01:21:11,394 Too many are lost today, having been preoccupied and distracted, careless about life. 982 01:21:11,974 --> 01:21:15,136 treated careless by others, miscalculated. 983 01:21:15,656 --> 01:21:20,018 Some made some bad decisions, but they all need the light of the world. 984 01:21:20,539 --> 01:21:21,639 We got work to do. 985 01:21:22,260 --> 01:21:26,482 Jesus had a passion to help those that were lost in suffering. 986 01:21:26,922 --> 01:21:30,804 For the Son of Man has come to save that which was lost. 987 01:21:31,344 --> 01:21:35,126 So as I go to my seat, we got to stay focused. 988 01:21:36,227 --> 01:21:39,589 Don't get distracted because we got work to do. 989 01:21:40,675 --> 01:21:41,636 Stay on the wall. 990 01:21:42,436 --> 01:21:43,217 Don't come down. 991 01:21:43,897 --> 01:21:49,361 And when it's all said and done, if God be for us, who can be against us? 992 01:21:49,902 --> 01:21:54,905 Because greater is he that is in us than he that is in the world. 993 01:21:55,446 --> 01:21:57,147 We need to keep telling the story. 994 01:21:57,807 --> 01:21:59,509 For God so loved the world, 995 01:22:00,692 --> 01:22:02,293 I wish I had some help tonight. 996 01:22:02,914 --> 01:22:04,115 Y'all gonna help me finish? 997 01:22:04,595 --> 01:22:13,562 For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him will not perish. 998 01:22:13,962 --> 01:22:18,506 He loved the world so much that he sent his only begotten son. 999 01:22:18,886 --> 01:22:24,551 He came down through 42 generations, born to the Virgin Mary. 1000 01:22:25,371 --> 01:22:30,994 When he became a young man in his ministry, he opened blind eyes. 1001 01:22:31,534 --> 01:22:33,035 He opened deaf ears. 1002 01:22:33,515 --> 01:22:35,196 He opened dumb tongues. 1003 01:22:35,656 --> 01:22:37,437 The lame began to walk. 1004 01:22:37,877 --> 01:22:39,258 He raised the dead. 1005 01:22:39,778 --> 01:22:44,380 Don't you know when you're doing a good work for the Lord, people will get jealous. 1006 01:22:44,820 --> 01:22:46,501 You got to have some haters. 1007 01:22:47,001 --> 01:22:48,502 They began to hate on him. 1008 01:22:49,082 --> 01:22:50,763 They had a midnight court. 1009 01:22:51,364 --> 01:22:55,246 In that midnight court, they had some haters, some liars. 1010 01:22:55,726 --> 01:22:56,847 They lied on him. 1011 01:22:57,567 --> 01:22:58,468 Yes, they did. 1012 01:22:59,268 --> 01:23:00,149 Yes, they did. 1013 01:23:00,169 --> 01:23:03,351 And they whipped him all night long. 1014 01:23:03,891 --> 01:23:10,816 And early the next morning, they took him out and laid him down on his old cross. 1015 01:23:11,256 --> 01:23:14,558 But he said, no man taketh my life. 1016 01:23:15,198 --> 01:23:18,102 I got power to lay it down. 1017 01:23:18,783 --> 01:23:21,886 I got power to take it up again. 1018 01:23:21,906 --> 01:23:27,733 They stood him up on that old rugged cross on Mount Calvary. 1019 01:23:28,133 --> 01:23:32,498 He said, if I'm lifted up, I shall draw all men unto me. 1020 01:23:32,959 --> 01:23:33,960 And he died. 1021 01:23:34,901 --> 01:23:35,982 He died. 1022 01:23:36,542 --> 01:23:42,906 They buried him in a sealed tomb for three days and three nights. 1023 01:23:43,507 --> 01:23:46,409 He laid in the tomb, but early 1024 01:23:47,623 --> 01:23:52,949 Early, early Sunday morning, he got up. 1025 01:23:53,709 --> 01:24:02,398 I said he got up with all power, power to heal, power to deliver, power to set free. 1026 01:24:02,899 --> 01:24:04,080 He's gone back. 1027 01:24:04,520 --> 01:24:06,802 He's sitting on the right hand of the Father. 1028 01:24:07,563 --> 01:24:09,424 interceding on our behalf. 1029 01:24:10,204 --> 01:24:16,786 All you gotta do is put one foot forward and he's sitting interceding on your behalf. 1030 01:24:17,266 --> 01:24:27,990 We got work to do because one of these days, by and by, he's coming back after a church without spot or wrinkle. 1031 01:24:28,610 --> 01:24:29,830 We got work to do. 1032 01:24:30,331 --> 01:24:43,495 There are many that are still lost, waiting on you, you, you, you, and you just to speak to them, just to witness to them, just to talk to them, just to treat them like somebody, just to love them. 1033 01:24:45,376 --> 01:24:49,137 God say, with love and kindness, have I drawn thee. 1034 01:24:50,438 --> 01:24:53,339 With love and kindness, have I drawn thee. 1035 01:24:54,259 --> 01:24:56,000 Look at your neighbor, say, we got work to do. 1036

01:25:04,369 --> 01:25:06,110 It was love that got you where you are. 1040 01:25:07,151 --> 01:25:13,376 If somebody would have told you down and beat you up about what you was doing, some of us would still be lost now. 1041 01:25:15,057 --> 01:25:16,098 We got to use wisdom. 1042 01:25:17,259 --> 01:25:18,140 We got to use wisdom. 1043 01:25:18,380 --> 01:25:22,744 Now, I don't know about you, but
