WHAT ARE YOU CARRYING? We can become so focused on what we are doing for God that we forget to ask what is happening within us. Jesus said: “For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.” (Luke 6:45) Eventually, what fills us finds its way out. If we continually carry frustration, it will surface. If we carry bitterness, it will colour how we see people. If we carry fear, it will influence our decisions. But when our hearts are being filled with the presence, truth and love of Christ, something different begins to overflow. Grace enters our conversations. Peace steadies our reactions. Compassion changes how we see people. Hope becomes something we naturally give away. Being a Kingdom Carrier is not only about what we carry to the world. It is also about what we allow God to build within us. So perhaps the question for this weekend is not simply: “Where is God sending me?” But: “What am I carrying when I get there?” 👑🌍 📖 Kingdom Carriers https://books2read.com/u/mlJqo7 🌐 More from Jacob Isaac https://jacobisaac.co.nz #KingdomCarriers #CarryTheKingdom #KingdomLiving #FaithInEverydayLife

As we are about to hear from the throne of mercy, I declared that you will not come in vain, and you will not go empty handed. But before we share the word of God, let us pray 🙏 ENJOY THE FULL VIDEO HERE 👇👇👇 https://youtu.be/IHnZa2BylFo?si=rBUkpriqf33nSXLM PLEASE WATCH, LIKE, COMMENT AND SUBSCRIBE TO HELP MY CHANNEL GROW. THANKS 🙏 LESSON: Matthew 7:16-20 As a matter of fact, today's message is a self reflection, that's why it's topic is: TOPIC: WHAT KIND OF CHRISTIAN AM I? TEXT: You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? Matthew 7:16–20 (NKJV) INTRODUCTION: It is easy to ask, “What kind of church do I attend?” or “What kind of Christians are around me?” But today, God is asking a more personal question: What kind of Christian am I? Christianity is more than attending church, carrying a Bible, singing worship songs, or being known as a believer. Jesus wants our faith to be visible in the way we live, speak, love, forgive, serve and represent Him. The real test of Christianity is not simply what we profess with our lips, but what our lives produce. Be immensely blessed by the word in Jesus name. EXPOSITION: With a sincere mind, let's examine and consider these 3 basic important points. 1. WHAT KIND OF FRUIT IS MY LIFE PRODUCING? Matthew 7:16–20; Galatians 5:22–23; John 15:4–5 Jesus said, “You will know them by their fruits.” Notice that Jesus did not say people would be known merely by their appearance, religious vocabulary, church position or spiritual title. He said they would be known by their fruit. Fruit is evidence of what is happening inside a tree. In the same way, our daily conduct reveals what is happening in our hearts. A Christian may speak about love, but how do I treat people who offend me? I may talk about forgiveness, but can I forgive those who hurt me? I may preach holiness, but what happens when nobody is watching? I may say that I trust God, but what happens when I face disappointment? These are the moments when our fruit becomes visible. Galatians 5:22–23 describes the fruit of the Spirit as love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. This gives us something practical to examine. Is there love in me? Is there patience in me? Is there self-control in me? Can people see Christ in the way I respond under pressure? Because sometimes, the greatest testimony we preach is not from the pulpit. It is through our behaviour when life does not go according to our expectations. Jesus also said in John 15:5, “He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit.” Fruitfulness is therefore connected to our relationship with Christ. We cannot consistently produce Christlike character while living far from Christ. The question is not whether we once produced good fruit. The question is: What is my life producing now? EXPOSITION: 2. AM I A LIGHT THAT LEADS PEOPLE TO CHRIST OR A STUMBLING BLOCK? Matthew 5:14–16; Romans 14:13; 1 Peter 2:12 Jesus said, “You are the light of the world.” That means our Christianity is not supposed to remain inside the church building. People are watching us. Our neighbours are watching. Our colleagues are watching. Our family members are watching. Young people are watching. Even people who disagree with Christianity are watching. Sometimes, before they read the Bible, they read our lives. This is why we must ask ourselves a difficult question: Does my lifestyle make people desire to know Jesus, or does it give them another reason to reject Him? A Christian can become a stumbling block through bitterness, dishonesty, hypocrisy, arrogance, unforgiveness, gossip, immoral behaviour or an abusive attitude. Imagine telling someone that Jesus changes lives, while that person consistently sees anger, hatred and dishonesty in our own life. What message are we communicating? Romans 14:13 tells believers not to put a stumbling block or a cause to fall in another believer’s way. This does not mean that we live our lives based on people's opinions. It means we recognize that Christian freedom carries Christian responsibility. Our lives should make the Gospel attractive, not contradictory. Jesus said in Matthew 5:16: “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.” The purpose of our light is not to make people admire us. It is to make them glorify God. So, when people encounter me, what do they encounter? Christ or character problems? Grace or hostility? Truth or hypocrisy? Love or bitterness? We cannot preach the Gospel effectively with our mouths while preaching a different gospel with our lifestyle. EXPOSITION: 3. AM I OBEYING CHRIST OR AM I ONLY PRACTISING RELIGION? John 14:15; James 1:22–25; Matthew 28:19–20 Jesus said plainly: “If you love Me, keep My commandments.” That means genuine Christianity must eventually produce obedience. It is possible to become very familiar with church activities while becoming unfamiliar with obedience to Christ. We can attend services, participate in programmes, sing loudly, pray publicly and even hold positions in church, yet still ignore the simple commands of Jesus. Jesus commanded us to love one another. He commanded us to forgive. He commanded us to serve. He commanded us to make disciples. He commanded us to preach the Gospel. He commanded us to live as lights in a dark world. The question therefore becomes: Am I doing what Jesus asked me to do? James 1:22 warns us not to be merely hearers of the Word, but doers. Hearing God's Word without obeying it can create the illusion of spiritual maturity. Knowledge is not the same as obedience. Knowing that we should forgive is not forgiveness. Knowing that we should evangelize is not evangelism. Knowing that we should love is not love. Knowing that we should live holy is not holiness. At some point, the Word we hear must become the life we live. And this includes the Great Commission. Jesus said in Matthew 28:19–20, “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations.” Every Christian may not stand behind a pulpit, but every Christian has a responsibility to represent Christ. There is somebody around us who needs encouragement. Somebody needs to hear the Gospel. Somebody needs to see forgiveness. Somebody needs to see genuine Christian love. Somebody may be watching our life and wondering whether Jesus is truly real. So the question is not merely: “Am I a Christian?” The deeper question is: “What kind of Christian am I?” Am I a Christian by name, or by transformation? Am I only a church member, or am I a disciple of Jesus? Am I carrying the name of Christ while refusing to carry His character? This brings us to the conclusion of the message. CONCLUSION: Today, the mirror is before us. Not before our neighbour. Not before another church member. Not before society. Before me. What kind of Christian am I? May our Christianity be more than words, titles and religious activities. May our lives produce good fruit, shine as lights, and demonstrate obedience to Christ. Let people encounter us and see something that points them back to Jesus. CLOSING PRAYER: Let us pray! Lord Jesus, make us genuine representatives of Your kingdom. Let our lives produce good fruit, let our character reflect You, and let our actions never become a stumbling block to others. Help us to love, forgive, serve and obey You faithfully. May our lives point people to Christ. In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen. GOODWILL MESSAGE: This is my goodwill message for you this week: May your life become a living testimony of the transforming power of Jesus Christ. May your words carry grace, your character reveal Christ, and your actions draw others closer to God. May your faith remain fruitful, your light continue to shine, and your life bring glory to your Father in heaven. Amen. HAPPY WONDERFUL SUNDAY, HAVE AN AMAZING WEEK. LIKE IT OR NOT!

𝐓𝐎𝐏𝐈𝐂: 𝐖𝐇𝐄𝐍 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐎𝐅𝐅𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐁𝐄𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐄𝐒 𝐀 𝐁𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐋𝐄 𝐂𝐑𝐘 BIBLICAL TEXT: 2 CHRONICLES 1:6-12 KJV “And Solomon went up thither to the brasen altar before the Lord, which was at the tabernacle of the congregation, and offered a thousand burnt offerings upon it.” (2 Chronicles 1:6 KJV) Solomon's offering was more than a financial transaction. It was an expression of honour, surrender, worship, and dependence upon God. After he offered those sacrifices, God appeared to him and said, “Ask what I shall give thee.” (2 Chronicles 1:7 KJV) This teaches us that genuine giving can become an expression of faith that accompanies our prayers and worship. However, our giving does not buy God's presence or force Him to act. God responds according to His grace, wisdom, and purpose. 𝐀) 𝐒𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐦𝐨𝐧'𝐬 𝐒𝐚𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐎𝐟 𝐆𝐨𝐝 Solomon offered a thousand burnt offerings unto the Lord, and that night God appeared to him. “And that night did God appear unto Solomon, and said unto him, Ask what I shall give thee.” (2 Chronicles 1:7 KJV) Solomon's sacrifice was followed by a divine encounter. He had the opportunity to ask for wealth, long life, or the death of his enemies, but he asked for wisdom and knowledge to lead God's people. “And now, O Lord God, let thy promise unto David my father be established: for thou hast made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude. Give me now wisdom and knowledge.” (2 Chronicles 1:9-10 KJV) His request revealed the condition of his heart. 𝐁) 𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐆𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐎𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐬 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐃𝐨𝐨𝐫 𝐓𝐨 𝐃𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐄𝐧𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 Giving should never be treated as a way of purchasing miracles. God cannot be bought. Our offerings are expressions of worship, gratitude, obedience, and honour. “Honour the Lord with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase.” (Proverbs 3:9 KJV) When giving flows from a sincere heart, it becomes part of our worship. It can also position us to participate in God's work, bless others, and demonstrate our trust in His provision. The greatest offering God desires is a surrendered life. “I beseech you therefore, brethren... that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God.” (Romans 12:1 KJV) Solomon's sacrifice was followed by an encounter, but the deeper lesson was his heart. He desired God's wisdom more than personal wealth. 𝐂) 𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐖𝐢𝐬𝐝𝐨𝐦 𝐓𝐨 𝐎𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐇𝐢𝐝𝐝𝐞𝐧 𝐄𝐧𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐞𝐬 Solomon understood that leadership required divine wisdom. He did not ask merely for power to defeat his enemies. He asked for wisdom to discern what was right. “And God said unto Solomon, Because this was in thine heart... wisdom and knowledge is granted unto thee.” (2 Chronicles 1:11-12 KJV) Some battles are not overcome by shouting louder. They are overcome by receiving divine wisdom. There are people you should not fight, places you should not enter, opportunities you should not accept, and decisions you should not make. Divine wisdom can save you from traps that your physical strength cannot detect. “For wisdom is a defence, and money is a defence: but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom giveth life to them that have it.” (Ecclesiastes 7:12 KJV) Ask God for wisdom. Before you confront every enemy, ask God for understanding. Before you make major decisions, seek His direction. 𝙇𝙞𝙛𝙚 𝘼𝙥𝙥𝙡𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 Your offering should not only leave your hand. Let it carry your heart toward God. Give with thanksgiving. Give with sincerity. Give according to God's Word. Support the work of God. Honour those who labour in the Gospel. Fulfil your vows. Help the needy. But above all, give yourself completely to God. Do not give because you are trying to manipulate God into giving you what you want. Give because He is worthy. When your heart is surrendered, your giving becomes worship, your prayer becomes fellowship, and your life becomes an altar unto God. 𝐏𝐫𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫 𝐏𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐬 1. Father, give me a heart that honours You with my substance and with everything You have committed into my hands, in the name of Jesus Christ. (Proverbs 3:9 KJV) 2. O Lord, let every sincere offering I give according to Your will produce fruit for Your kingdom and glory, in Jesus' name. 3. Father, appear in every situation where I need divine direction and intervention, in the name of Jesus Christ. (2 Chronicles 1:7 KJV) 4. O Lord, give me wisdom and knowledge to overcome every hidden trap and make righteous decisions, in Jesus' name. (2 Chronicles 1:10 KJV) 5. Every hidden strategy of the enemy against my life, let divine wisdom expose and overturn it, in the name of Jesus Christ. 6. Father, give me grace to support Your work faithfully and to fulfil every vow I make before You, in Jesus' name. (Ecclesiastes 5:4 KJV) 7. O Lord, make my life a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable unto You, in the name of Jesus Christ. (Romans 12:1 KJV) 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐡𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐃𝐞𝐜𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 I declare that as you walk in obedience, worship, generosity, and faith, the Lord will give you wisdom for every difficult season. May God expose hidden traps, reveal hidden opportunities, and guide your steps into His purpose. You will not be destroyed by what you cannot see. You will receive divine wisdom to discern, divine strength to overcome, and divine grace to fulfil your destiny, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Love Speaks the Truth—Even When Its Uncomfortable Biblical love isn't silent. It doesn't compromise truth to avoid uncomfortable conversations. Jesus loved people enough to confront sin, call people to repentance, and make a way for them to be saved. That's not hate—that's the deepest form of love. We don't speak the truth to win arguments. We speak the truth to point people to the only One who can save them. Stand firm. Love deeply. Never water down the Gospel. The truth may offend darkness, but it also sets captives free. #SpeakTheTruth #LoveLikeJesus #StandForTheGospel #TruthSetsFree #KingdomLiving https://youtu.be/UhFYjuUA8hk
