0:00 In a quiet master, or by a dental stream, the shepherd of my soul could be my style. Should I feel a mighty haunted, or a valley darkened sea, the shepherd of my soul will be my guide. 0:29 Shepherd of my soul, oh you have made me whole, wherever you are you fall, all my tears flow. How I feel your love, how I want to sow, I gladly give my heart to you Lord. 0:57 Be it in the flowing river, or in the quiet night, the shepherd of my soul is by my side. Should I face a moly redder, or the dangers of this world, the shepherd of my soul will be my guide. 1:26 Shepherd of my soul, I give you full control, wherever you may lead, I will fall. I have made the choice, to listen for your word, wherever you may lead, I will go. 1:57 In a quiet fashion, or by a gentle stream, the shepherd of my soul is by my side. Should I face a mighty mountain, or a valley darkened sea, the shepherd of my soul, the shepherd of my soul, I give you full control, wherever you may lead, I will fall. 2:39 I have made the choice, to listen for your word, wherever you may lead, I will go. 3:03 We invite Brother Zach to share the word of God. Thank you. 3:36 Okay, we are, first, before we pray for these children, we want to read something from the Word of God. I want you to turn to Proverbs in chapter 22. 4:03 God's Word says this, in verse 15, foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child, but the rod of discipline will remove it far from him. 4:23 You know, even though our children look so sweet and nice, and they are very innocent, and they are not committing sin. They don't know what they are doing. 4:49 They have got a nature which is bad. We have all got it from Adam. Your children don't become bad later on. They are born with that. 5:15 You can put a child in the best home in the world. It's still got a bad nature. And the most God-fearing parents will still have a child with a bad nature. 5:38 And the Bible calls it foolishness that is bound up in the heart of a child. And when we are parents, we have to help them to get rid of it. 5:59 And we must help them. So, we must be strict with them when they do something wrong. Because they are doing something wrong. 6:20 But we must be merciful also to them. Because they got that bad nature from us who are parents. So, whenever you see your children do something wrong. 6:40 You ask yourself. Where did he get that nature from? You have to say, I got it from me. You have to say, he got it from you. So, if he got that bad nature from you, then you have to be merciful to him. 7:05 But you have to be strict so that he does not go in the wrong way. And that's why it says, we must discipline the child. Because they don't know. See, you keep a child on the side of a road and ask him to cross the road. 7:26 He will run into the traffic and die. So, that is why you have to hold his hand when he crosses the road. So, discipline is like that. 7:48 So, discipline is like that. Holding the child so that he doesn't get run over by the devil. But we must not make discipline everything. Because we must be kind also. So, it says, if you do both, then it says in verse 6, that you train up a child in the way he should go. 8:17 When he is old, he will not depart from it. So, let me show you a verse in Romans 11. Well, it speaks about God, how he treats us. 8:38 Romans 11, 22. Behold the kindness and the severity of God. God is the perfect father. He is kind and he is strict. He is not only strict, he is not only kind. 9:03 He is both. Our children must see both in us. Kindness and strictness. You read the Hebrews in chapter 12. 9:27 Hebrews 12, verse 7. It is for discipline that you endure. God deals with you as with sons. For what son is there whom his father does not discipline? 9:47 Listen to that question. Is there a child whom the father does not discipline? I am sorry to say, there are many such children in the world today. Because the father does not discipline them. And they go in a wrong way. 10:12 Discipline, according to this verse, is the responsibility of the father first, not the mother. Throughout the New Testament, it says that. You never read anywhere of the mother disciplining. 10:33 You read in Ephesians chapter 6. And verse 4. Fathers, don't provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the nurture and discipline of the Lord. It doesn't say parents. 10:55 It says fathers. But if the father is a useless father, then the mother has to do it. There are two things a father must do. 11:17 Teach the child the ways of the Lord. And correct them and discipline them. But some fathers are too lazy to teach the word of God to their children. 11:40 They are the useless fathers. They have a job. They don't do it. If they work in an office like that, they are given a job and they don't do it. The office will fire them and say, get out. 12:04 God has given a job to fathers. I want to say to every father here, this is not the job of the mother. It is the job of the father. Very clear in the word of God. Don't provoke your children to anger. 12:29 Don't make them angry unnecessarily. But instruct them in the way of the Lord. Teach them the scriptures. Teach them the principles of God's word. Teach them the stories in the scripture. 12:52 Or give them a picture of the Bible they can read themselves. And discipline the children. Because they have got foolishness in their heart. Now, if in a home the father is useless. 13:16 He may be earning a lot of money in his work. But at home, he does not teach his children. He does not discipline his children. Then, what to do? Then the mother has to do the job. See, it's like if a father is paralyzed and sick. 13:38 Then the mother has to go to work and earn the money. So, in many homes, the mother has to do that job. To teach the children God's word. To discipline them. 14:00 That's not the mother's primary job. What would you think if you went to a home and you saw this? And the wife is sitting in the sitting room talking to all the visitors. 14:23 You know, she's invited some people for lunch. And the father is in the kitchen cooking all the lunch. There's something wrong in that house. I've never been to a home where the wife is sitting and talking to me and the father is in the kitchen cooking the food. 14:53 No, there's nothing wrong in men cooking the food. But, that's not normally the primary job of a father. That's because the mother is useless and lazy. The wife. 15:15 Then the poor husband has to do the job. Now, how many of you husbands work in the kitchen and make your wife sit in the sitting room? 15:35 Hardly anybody. But, the same thing. If you make your wife teach the scriptures to the child. And, the wife must discipline the children. Then, you are a useless father. Because, that is your primary responsibility. 15:58 And, if you fail in that, then the wife takes over. Like, if the mother is sick, then the father has to go into the kitchen. Definitely. So, it's very important that fathers recognize, what is my primary responsibility. 16:20 To teach the children the word of God from a very young age. And, to discipline them so that they don't go astray. And, it says in Hebrews, in chapter 12. That, if you don't discipline your children. 16:43 Verse 8. Then, you are treating them like somebody else's children. They are not your children. Any father who does not discipline his children is saying, this is not my child. He was produced by somebody else. It says there, if you are without discipline, then you are an illegitimate child. 17:16 I want to say to every father here. If you don't discipline your child. What you are saying is. This is not my child. My wife produced it. But, it is somebody else's child. So, I cannot discipline this child. 17:39 Read the word of God. If it is your child. You have to discipline that child as a father. And, it says here. And, it says here. That, we had earthly fathers to discipline us. And, we respected them. You must discipline. 18:00 You must discipline your children. You must discipline your children in such a way that they respect you. Not immediately. Not immediately. At that time, when you discipline them. 18:21 They may not like it. Because, it says in verse 11. All discipline at that time is not joyful but sorrowful. But, afterwards. That, when it produces a good fruit of righteousness. That, when it produces a good fruit of righteousness. 18:42 Then, they will respect you. Then, they will respect you. I had four sons. And, I disciplined all of them. And, I taught them all the word of God. And, I see the result today in their life. How they are serving the Lord. 19:04 When I disciplined them. I didn't think they had a great love for me at that time. Because, they can't understand it. A child does not understand. This discipline is for my good. But, years later, when they grown up. 19:25 And, especially after they get married and have their own children. Then, they respect the father. And, oh, my father was such a good father. If you bring up your children according to the word of God. 19:46 One day, they will glorify God. Some of you have longed for a long time to have a child. And, you are very thankful when God gives you a child. Why did he give you that child? 20:09 So, that the faith that you have can be communicated to the next generation. So, it's a very big responsibility when you carry a child. And, you've got a child in your home. One day, we have to present that child to God. 20:33 Lord, here's the child you gave me. Hebrews chapter 2. In verse 13. One day, we stand to God in the middle of that verse. 20:54 It says, Lord, here I am and the children whom you have given me. You should be able to say that in heaven one day. Jesus has come. 21:16 And, you stand there. Thank you Lord, I am saved. And, you gave me all these children. Here they are Lord. Every one of them is here with me in heaven. 21:36 You look around. Is one of your children going to be missing? And, you look around. Only two of them are. Let that not happen. Behold me. 21:59 And, all the children whom God has given me, they are here. That can be true in all of your lives. If you follow what God's Word says. Just do things. Give them the instruction of the Lord. 22:21 And, discipline them. And, he said, Grandma don't come here. I am punished now. I have to sit here for half an hour. I have to sit here for half an hour. 22:42 They learn something. What is that? I must obey Daddy and Mommy. I must respect Daddy and Mommy when I speak to them. We must teach our children to speak respectfully to all older people who come to the house. 23:03 Anybody who is older. Even if it's a servant lady in your house. 23:26 Something important. What is that? Speak to older people with respect. Because a lot of children don't do that. Even if you have a servant lady in your house. 23:49 Teach your children to speak respectfully to her. I never, never allowed my children to speak disrespectfully to anybody older than them. To father or mother. 24:11 Or any older brother in the church. Or even a servant working in the house. In God's eyes, there is no difference in social level. And, we must be very strict. 24:31 If they spoke disrespectfully. Even to a servant. You call them and say, Go and ask forgiveness from that person right now. Or even when they are playing with somebody else. 24:52 It doesn't matter if the other children don't behave. We have to teach our children to behave. Once when one of my sons is about five or six years old. They were playing cricket or something outside. With the neighbor's son. 25:14 Small boy. Same age. Then, I saw a little fight there. So, I called my son. So, what happened. He hit me. So, I hit him. 25:34 So, I said, let's go to his house now. And, you are going to say sorry to him. So, my son says, is he going to say sorry to me also? And, that I am not interested. You have to say it whether he says it or not. 25:56 We are children of God. So, we do what is right. Whether they do what is right or not is not our business. So, I took my little six-year-old boy. Knocked at the door of the neighbor. 26:16 And, they opened it. I said, my son has to say something to your little boy. So, I said, now say. And, he said to that boy, I am sorry. For fighting with you. 26:36 That's all. The other boy said nothing. Closed the door and came back. I said, my son, I am not bothered whether he said sorry or not. You did what is right before God. Today, I know where my son is. 27:00 He is following the Lord. That other boy, I don't know where. So, we have a responsibility for our children. Even if some other father in the church does not, is not strict with his children. 27:21 Let them be like that. I don't want my children to be like that. So, if their children come to me and say, that boy's father allows him to do all that. 27:43 But, I say, unfortunately, he is not your father. I am your father. So, you listen to me. I don't care what his father says or doesn't say. And, I will tell you, after all these years of experience, 28:06 I have been a father for 45 years. If you honor God and seek to honor God with your children, God will honor you. And, you'll have tremendous joy in your heart when those children grow up. 28:29 See what John says. Third John. This is a wonderful verse. Third John, verse 4. I have no greater joy than this to hear that my children are walking in the truth. 28:55 You will have that joy when your children grow up. If you do what God's word says when they are young. That is, teach them God's word and discipline them when they disobey. 29:18 And, the other thing we have to discipline them is for telling lies. All children tell lies. From birth itself, they have started telling lies. You see Psalm 58. 29:44 And, verse 3. The last part, it says in Psalm 58, verse 3. They speak lies and go astray from their birth. Do you believe that? 30:05 That children start telling lies even before they know how to speak? That's an amazing thing. But, I've seen it. You see that small baby before 3-4 months old. It's crying as if it is in terrible pain. 30:27 And, you pick it up and say, what happened? Smiling. It was only telling lies. No pain, nothing. He just wanted you to pick it up. That's what I mean. From birth itself, 30:48 they know how to tell lies. And, to fool their parents. And, as they grow up, they become experts in telling lies. So, that's something you have to be very strict with them. Because, if you allow them to grow up telling lies, 31:05 one day they will do so many serious things when they grow up. they will tell lies to their teachers in school. They will cheat in their examination. They will tell lies when they fill up certificates and forms for admission. 31:29 And, one day they may be locked up in jail also. So, teach them to tell the truth. Teach them never to cheat in their examination. Tell them, even if you fail, it doesn't matter, but don't cheat. 31:50 This is the responsibility of the Father. To teach them God's ways and to teach them to speak the truth. I'm not giving you ten commandments. Two. Teach them to respect older people 32:10 and to apologize if they did not speak with respect. To any older person, father, mother, believer, servant, anybody. And, second, 32:30 speak the truth. Tell them, tell me the truth. I will not punish you, but tell me the truth. Even if you did some terrible wrong, tell me the truth. Then, all these little children will grow up to be God-fearing boys and girls. 32:50 and they'll grow up to be servants of God when they grow up. And for that, we need to pray for God's help. That's the last thing I say. My wife and I pray regularly for our children. 33:13 is not just by following following these rules. Lord, please be merciful to our children. And now we pray for our grandchildren. So you must pray. Husband and wife must pray together. Very important. 33:34 And then we will have another generation growing up in the church who are witnesses for Christ. So as you pick up these child children each time, say, Lord, please help me to bring up this child in a godly way. And let's believe 33:54 that God will help all of you whom we are going to pray for now and all the others here who have got children. Can you please come, all of you? Please come here. Everyone. 34:17 God. One is enough. 34:53 All right. 35:16 All right. Heavenly Father, 35:38 we just pray for Ebenezer. We pray in Jesus' name that you will help him to grow up to be a child of God. Give wisdom to the parents to bring him up. And also for this little child. 36:01 We pray that you will protect them from all dangers, sickness, and accidents. And the parents will bring them up in the fear of God. we dedicate Ebenezer to you in Jesus' name. Amen. Amen. 36:23 Lord, we pray for Magita Teresa. We dedicate her to you. Please help her to grow up in the fear of God. 36:45 And we pray for this other girl, shamitha also. Give wisdom to the parents to bring them up in the fear of God. Protect this child from all sickness and dangers and accidents. Dedicate her to you in Jesus' name. 37:06 Thank you. Amen. Beulah, this is Beulah, Abigail. Stephen. Lord, we dedicate Beulah, Abigail to you. 37:27 We pray that she will grow up healthy and strong. Be born again soon. And pray that you protect her from all harm and sickness and accidents. And in the same way also for Stephen Matthias. Give wisdom to the parents to bring them 37:47 up in the fear of God. And pray that they will have great joy with these children. In Jesus' name. Amen. Father, this is and this is 38:11 Chris Jonathan. Lord, we dedicate Chris, what's the name? Chris Olivia to you. And pray that you will protect her from all harm and danger and sickness early in life 38:31 she will be born again. And likewise we also pray for Chris Jonathan and we pray the parents will have wisdom to bring up these children in the fear of God. And dedicate these children to you. In Jesus' name. 39:00 to you. Lord, Lord, we dedicate Jessica Sharon to you and pray that early in life she will be born again and you'll protect her from all harm and sickness and dangers. Wisdom 39:20 to the parents to bring her up in the fear of God. We dedicate her to you in Jesus' name. Amen. Lord, 39:43 we dedicate Jeffrey to you in Jesus' name. Please help him to be born again early in life and protect him from all harm and danger and sickness and likewise for Jude as well. The blessing of the Lord be upon them. 40:05 Give wisdom to the parents to bring them up in the fear of God. We dedicate them to you in Jesus' name. Amen. Hello. This is Sadhana and Raksha 40:26 this is Sadhana. Okay, she's the older one. She's younger. Yeah. Lord, we dedicate Sadhana to you and Raksha also. Pray the blessing of the Lord will be on both of them. Protect them both from all 40:46 sickness, danger, and accident and help them to be born again early in life. Give wisdom to the parents to bring them up in the fear of God. We pray in Jesus' name. 41:07 This is Alan. Lord, we dedicate Alan to you. Help him to grow up to be a child of God soon. Protect him from all sicknesses and dangers. all accidents and Lord, 41:28 we pray that you'll give wisdom to the parents to bring him up in the fear of God. We humbly ask in Jesus' name. Amen. Amen. 42:08 it's a wonderful thing to dedicate children to God. And it's a big responsibility. What about all of us who are sitting in the church? 42:29 What is your responsibility towards these children? I'll tell you. Please turn to Matthew chapter 18. This is a word for all of us. 42:49 Young people, teenage boys and girls, fathers and mothers, all of us. It's a warning that Jesus gives. Matthew 18 and verse 4. 43:12 Sorry, verse 6. Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it is better for him that a heavy millstone be hung around his neck and he be drowned in the depth of the sea. 43:39 And whoever receives one, verse 5, one such child in my name receives me. So, every child that comes in, you know, in a church we are a family by the way. 43:59 So, when we are a family, we receive a child like a family. And when we receive a child like that, Jesus said, you're receiving me. and that's why 44:19 we must be tender when we speak to little children in the church. It's not our job to discipline other people's children. We don't have to punish to punish them. 44:40 But if we see them doing something wrong, it's good to correct them even though we don't discipline them. And if it's a serious thing, then we tell the parents of the child, see, your child is behaving like that. 45:00 But we must be careful that we don't do anything to stumble those children. That means there must be nothing in your behavior in the church that makes these children stumble. 45:24 You know, if children see their parents fighting with each other, that causes the children to stumble. I remember hearing a grown-up man saying this once. He was a servant of God 45:44 and a very fine servant of the Lord. He said when I was a little boy, maybe six, seven years old, I was in my room, my parents thought I was sleeping. 46:06 But I was not sleeping. I had just gone to bed and I heard my parents in the next room fighting with each other. And he says I got so afraid. I became very insecure. 46:27 And that used to happen more than once parents fighting. And so I grew up as a very insecure child. And it affected my life in so many ways. that even when I grew up I had that insecurity. 46:52 It started with hearing my parents fighting. I have never forgotten that testimony. So parents sometimes when you think your children are sleeping they are not sleeping. please remember that. 47:13 If you want to have an argument with your husband or wife or discuss something with very strong words go for a walk. Go somewhere where your children will not be able to hear you at all. 47:37 Otherwise you are stumbling them. And Jesus said if you stumble them then you must go to the hardware shop and buy a mill stone. And Jesus specified what type of mill stone. 47:59 He said it must be a heavy one. So if the shopkeeper gives you a small one you say no no not this give me a heavy one. And then get a little rope also. And 48:19 then find some river or lake nearby. Tie this around your neck with a mill stone. Go and jump into the sea. You say brother Zach are you telling me to commit suicide? Don't say 48:39 Zach said it Jesus. I'm only reading what is written in the Bible. He's not telling you to do it. Only the devil tells people to commit suicide. He's trying to show you how serious it is. 49:04 Read it. He doesn't say do it. No. He says it's better you do that than stumble one of these little children. So what is he trying to say? He's not telling you to commit suicide but he's saying you must see this is worse 49:22 than suicide. That's what he's saying. Is there anything you do which causes children to stumble? Forget parents. What about you who are in the 49:43 church? I'll tell you another way in which you can make children stumble. You know when you sit around the table at home and you speak evil about this brother that young brother the other person all in 50:03 the church. He's like that and she's like that and he's like that and she's like that. And these small children have got big ears. They are receiving everything you say. 50:25 And you know what they will think? In the church my parents sound so sweet and nice to everybody but here at home they speak evil about those people. That means this church is a bad church. 50:47 And they grow up they say I don't want to be a part of this bad church. I heard my parents speak evil about this person and that person and other other person and the other person and also some of these young brothers and 51:03 sisters my parents spoke bad about them also. There's nobody perfect. If you want to find fault with people it's very easy because our eyes are focused more to see one wrong thing even in a good 51:23 person. See the one man who walked on this earth without a single fault in him was Jesus Christ. They found so much fault with him that they killed him. 51:43 What does that teach us? That man's nature is so evil that even in a perfect man they'll find something wrong. You read in the Old Testament about Job. God 52:03 certified to Satan there is nobody like Job on the whole earth. He's a perfect upright perfect upright man. He turns away from evil. But there were three preachers in that book. 52:25 You read what they said to him. This is wrong with you and that is wrong with you and the other thing is wrong with you. And your children were killed because they were bad. There was something wrong with them. God said Job 52:43 is perfect but these people found fault in him. Job was hundred times better than those preachers but they found fault with him. in the Old Testament and New Testament one 53:04 whom God says is perfect there are people finding fault with them. So the world is full of people who are looking for some fault in another person. They can never appreciate what is good because 53:26 that is the corrupt nature we got from Adam. I remember hearing a story of a man who tried to teach this lesson to others. A teacher. So there were a number of young students sitting there and 53:49 on the board he put a white sheet of paper. and in one corner of the paper there was a little black dot. He said all of you students take a piece of paper 54:09 and write down what you see. I'll give you one minute. Write down what you see. and after one minute the teacher collected all the papers. Everybody wrote we 54:30 see one black dot in the corner. And then the teacher said not one of you said there's a beautiful white paper. And there is a small 54:51 dot in the corner. All that you wrote was I see one black dot in the corner. Then he said that is how our human nature is. There may be a hundred good things in a person. 55:12 But like a white paper. Completely white. But the devil will make you focus on that one small wrong thing in that person. That doesn't tell you anything about that person. It tells something about you. 55:36 That shows how your eye is evil. So we have to be careful that we don't speak so much evil about others and stumble our little children. I mean if you find something wrong with somebody please tell the elders in the church. 56:00 Yeah that's necessary. You see somebody smoking or drinking and somebody in the church please tell the elders about it. can help help him don't cause little children to stumble that is worse than committing suicide. 56:23 So all of us have a responsibility and some of you young girls teenage girls and some mothers also if you dress in such a way following the styles in the world and by that 56:43 I mean as a woman you wear tight fitting dresses like these film stars and models and all do and exposing more 57:03 and more of your body what are the little girls going to say when they see you there is a great danger of that in the world today be 57:24 careful how you dress this actually happened in CFC Bangalore one father came to me and said brother Zach my little girl is asking me when I tell her to dress 57:44 properly and be modest that was the thing you know that little girl says daddy why can't I dress like this other girl here what shall I tell her I said I'll tell you what to tell her in the 58:04 garden of Eden like we see in these pictures there's a good tree and a bad tree that was not hell that was paradise in paradise there was a good tree and a bad tree and God said Adam 58:25 and Eve make a choice you want this or you want that okay CFC is like a garden of Eden there are good examples and bad examples you decide which one you want to follow God 58:46 has allowed some of those bad examples to be there there was a bad example in Jesus church of twelve people there's one bad man there so Peter you can go with Judas Iscariot 59:06 or you can go with John Matthew you can go with Judas Iscariot or you can go with James that's up to you so life is full of choices if there was a crooked 59:26 person in Jesus church there will be some bad examples in every church no church in the world is pure even Jesus church 59:46 of twelve people was not absolutely pure because the devil sends some people into the church and to create some bad testimony and people come and only see that one black dot in the corner they 1:00:08 won't see the full white sheet in the church there there was one brother like that one sister here I see one black dot there and another black dot here that doesn't describe the church that shows what an evil eye you 1:00:28 have but do you know the wonderful thing about Jesus 11 disciples when he said one of you is going to betray me he doesn't say in the next verse everybody 1:00:48 turned and looked at Judas Iscariot does it say that no every one of them said Lord is it I I want to see a church like that supposing 1:01:10 I come to a church and say one of you is a crook and a deceiver what will your attitude be I know who that is and you turn around and look I think it 1:01:30 is that person sitting there then you are not like Jesus disciples you bow your head and say Lord is that me that is the right attitude you think you're perfect you're 1:01:52 not take the right attitude how to distinguish between the voice of God and the voice of the devil devil is the accuser of the brothers and so 1:02:14 when this thought of accusation comes against somebody else not with the desire to help that person no just to accuse that person that person's daughter is like this no 1:02:34 that daughter of that person is like this and this person's son is like this what are you saying thereby my son and daughter are not like you're you're boasting you're comparing your children with somebody else's children 1:02:52 one of the dangers of having really good children you know what the danger is that you can compare other people's children with your children and even though you brought up wonderful 1:03:12 children praise the Lord for that but you spoiled the whole thing by accusing other people's children and comparing them with your children you brought up your children in a good way that's excellent but when 1:03:33 you compare other people's children with your children you're spoiled the whole thing you bring up your children in a good way it's like making a first class chicken curry but you compare them with other people it's like 1:03:51 putting a dead lizard inside that curry who wants to eat that now that's exactly how the devil makes you spoil makes you spoil something wonderful that you've made if your children 1:04:15 are following the Lord bow down deep before God fall on your face before the Lord say Lord that's not because of us because of your mercy please be merciful 1:04:36 to the children of others also it's very easy to fellowship with the devil and the accuser of the brethren let me show you the voice of God and the voice of there is something that Satan 1:04:56 does for 24 hours Revelation 12 verse 10 he accuses the believers day and night he doesn't accuse the unbelievers he is not 1:05:18 called the accuser of the world he is called in verse 9 the deceiver of the whole world that's true but accuser verse 10 accuser only of believers day and 1:05:39 night 24 hours always finding some fault with other believers and when you are like that holding hands with Satan now I'll tell you what Jesus is also doing something day and night Hebrews 7 and verse 25 1:06:00 it says about Jesus in Hebrews 7 and verse 25 that when he sees something wrong in one of his children and the devil accuses them and Jesus is immediately prays 1:06:25 God some believer on earth did something wrong and the devil immediately accuses and Jesus immediately prays did you see that two ministries going on in heaven and the devil 1:06:46 the devil the devil saying God see that child of yours see what he did and the Lord prays for that child you and I are joining in one of these ministries either saying yeah that's right Satan 1:07:07 you are absolutely right I agree with you that is what most believers are doing but a few believers are joining with Jesus praying for that person we have seen through the years many people who come to 1:07:27 the church they all want to find fault something or the other in 40 years that we have built CFC churches in many parts of the world I will tell you my testimony the people 1:07:50 who have criticized me the most are the people who have never planted even one church they have never brought up one God-fearing 1:08:11 family with children no family with God-fearing children no church God-fearing church but ready to criticize those who are doing that every single 1:08:35 person I have seen that is the case mostly younger people who think they know so much that's the same people that's like bachelors who criticize a family for the way they bring up their children very easy 1:08:57 for a bachelor to criticize a mother father and mother struggling to bring up their children I tell I tell that bachelor listen instead of criticizing that family why don't you get married and have ten children and show 1:09:18 the world how to bring them up then you can follow my example but just preaching theories any idiot can preach such theories and if you think something is wrong with some church go somewhere 1:09:39 and build a church which is perfect and tell people come and see here is the perfect church I have built to go into a church and criticize this criticize that there are already hundreds of demons doing that 1:09:59 and you are also one more one of if you want to join the demons and criticize go ahead there are many believers like that hand in hand with the devil always from people who have never built one church properly and who 1:10:22 have never brought up one family with God fearing children show me a man who has brought up a number of God fearing children and who has planted one or two wonderful churches I will go to him and say 1:10:42 brother teach me but all these other critics I don't have time to even hear what they have to say so I am giving you my example don't get discouraged with people who criticize you that is the 1:11:04 voice of the enemy one last verse John chapter 3 and verse 17 God did not send his son into the world to condemn the world 1:11:25 but the world should be saved so God sends you and me into a church not to condemn and judge them but to save them if you can't save 1:11:45 them put a zip over your mouth then shut it and take care of your own family that's great heavenly father help us to honor you with our lives help us 1:12:07 to distinguish the voice of the devil from the voice of the lord let me pray in Jesus name amen
