And if you have found a home in the church like I have found for 43 years, then we will say with me sorry, jajajajaja as CFC Amara which means is the whole world there's no place like CFC. The great tragedy is even in our own homes you know how children grow up and they don't value their home enough until they go away and see how it is elsewhere. I don't know if all of you really value this church if you are a part of it. [00:00:28]

The thing is to continue that spirit in the coming generations because time moves on and when we started Ian and I were the ones who prayed together and before the months before see if she started and I don't say that Ian and I are getting old I just say we're not getting inner so we need to pray that the new generation will rise up everywhere in all the churches that the Lord has planted so that his name will be glorified. [00:01:40]

The reason is that they worst 5 last part should teach them to their children and his asam is concerned about grandchildren that the generation to come might know even those children which are not yet born that they may arise and tell them to their children to the 4th generation and what should they teach them they should put their confidence in God and not forget the works of his works of God but keep his Commandments. [00:03:58]

When Jesus went up to heaven he passed that baton to the next person running the race those of the Apostles they took the baton and handed it to the next generation and like that through the years there's always been a remnant not the big churches I mean if you read the history of Christianity, the big books on the history of Christianity tell you about the big big churches the big denominations but the people of God were not usually there the people of God was in a small remnant. [00:04:28]

The Apostle Paul was a human being when you think of Jesus you say oh well he was perfect let's look at Paul second Corinthians in Chapter five, says, second Corinthians five, verse nine, this is our ambition falses, whether we are at home in heaven you read the previous verses you know he's talking about heaven is our home the first aid absent from the body at home with the Lord so whether at home with the Lord in heaven or absent from the Lord here on earth let me paraphrase it, whether I'm in heaven or I am on earth, my one ambition is to please God to please the Lord. [00:27:04]

I want to first to read from Psalm 78 the psalmist is not a psalm of David it's a man called SF who wrote it he says here, verse 3 what we have heard from our fathers and what our fathers have told us we will not conceal them from their children but will tell the generation to come the praises of the Lord, some 78 verse 5 and me his strength his wondrous works that he has done. [00:02:35]

The humility of Jesus was seen I'll tell you in one single statement turn with me to John chapter 6 and I believe that is the mark of the humility of a saint not the humility of the sinner the humility of a saint who's living in victory over sin John chapter 6 humility of Jesus is seen and read two or three verses to you and you'll understand it John 6:38 I came from heaven never to do my own will that is true humility. [00:25:04]

I want to hear that word and Jesus comes again I hope you want to hear it too, it's very simple very easy to keep your conscience clear to keep your conscience clear does not mean I have overcome every sin in my life no it means that if I slip up I set it right immediately, meaning of keeping your conscience clear you will never come to victory over sin if you don't start with keeping your conscience clear let me tell you that. [00:15:33]

We have taught in this church the importance of keeping a good conscience before God and before men that's the meaning of they did not spoil their garments and they will walk with me in white because they are worthy, it's an amazing statement in a book like revelation where it says Lord now alone not worthy old Lamb of God thou alone art worthy the Lamb of God turns around to some people sitting in the church in sardis and says you are worthy can you imagine that. [00:15:33]

And in this area what are we stressed we have stressed that this humility is not something we learn from the dictionary, you can look up the dictionary what is the meaning of humility and try to follow that you'll go astray, turn with me to Matthew and verse 29 what have we taught in CFC for 43 years, Jesus said learn from me the middle of that verse 4 I have humble in heart. [00:22:55]

And we must never go astray from being a pillar and support of this truth because there's hardly any other Church that I know around here who's proclaiming that, that we can walk as Jesus walked that we can learn humility from Christ, we can live that life where it want to do our own wheel when you always seek to do God's will in the beginning is difficult you know, like a paralyzed hand if your left hand is paralyzed now you're slowly getting some physiotherapy done too slowly can become a muscular hand one day we have done our own will so many years that we are paralyzed now we are learning something not to do our own will but the will of God we got to do that. [00:39:20]

The church's mission is to be a pillar and support of the truth, proclaiming the possibility of living a godly life through Christ. This involves a commitment to teaching and living out the principles of faith, love, and righteousness. As we move forward, we must continue to emphasize these truths, ensuring that they are passed on to future generations. [00:39:20]
