  Speaker 1: me to share on their groups, and then Facebook banned
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: me for a day or two right from sharing to
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: groups because it's literally it said it could be bothersome
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: to some of the groups. So whatever group you're listening

  Speaker 1: help me share. Maybe if you help me share this
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: out to your groups, amen, that you're a part of,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: maybe I won't get banned for sharing to my groups.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: It's amazing. Social media is amazing. It's good and bad
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: at the same time. I don't know if that makes

  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: So there's different ways. Social media is not gonna control
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: any ministry. Shouldn't control your ministry, shouldn't control my ministry.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: It should be used as a vehicle, a tool to
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: preach the gospel. But they always gonna restrict, and they could,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: really I learned yesterday they could wipe your whole profile
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: or your whole social media network out and just press
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: up a button and then make up any reason because
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: it's theirs.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: We don't own social media.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Social media owns is being owned by people who want
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: to run the show and they want they want the
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: netto and men to keep us moving forward in numbers.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: That's why they crushed. They crushed for a long time.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: They just crushed my reach. But God goes right through
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: that a man. There's no barriers for God.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: So let's pray, Father, thank you, Lord God, that we

  Speaker 1: your mercy. Thank you for being with us, working in us,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: and working through us. I pray, Lord God, that you
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: will continue to show favor to every single one of us,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: favor with you and favor with men.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: That you would give us.

• 5:20
  Speaker 1: all our family members from the very youngest to the
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: very oldest, and every single person in between, that you
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: will bring them health to their body and strength to
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: their bones and a powerful healing name of Jesus. And

  Speaker 1: I pray Lord God as we serve as we have
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: service right now this morning, Devo Lord God, that you
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: will be pleased. And I pray Lord God the Holy Spirit,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: that you will move in the midst and teach us
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: how to serve one another in love and with our regrets.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: With our compulsion.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: But I'll being forced, but because you love us first,

  Speaker 2: bless you. Blessings to the group.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Sister Joyce sends blessings to the group as well for
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: all those who are listening. Can't see the comments. A man,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: thank you so much for the blessings. And yeah, so
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: the band was supposed to be for a day.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: I guess.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: So if you don't get the notifications, that's the reason
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: why I was banned from sharing to my groups. You know,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: some sort of punishment, I guess.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: So here we go again. But you know, you know
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: how I do.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: We keep moving. We keep it moving. So let's go
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: for it. Let's share this out sixty seconds when we
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: get back. Amen, good morning, Felix say Cologne possible pastor profit. Amen, Bishop, God,
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: bless you, my brother and my friend. Help me share
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: this out sixty seconds. When we come back, we'll get
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: into the scripture mark chapter ten versus.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: It's forty three to forty five. I'll be right back.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: M Amen.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: Amen, so listen, I didn't share. I'm going to see
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: what happens now, Amen, I didn't even share. I shared
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: a couple of a couple of groups. Let's see what happens.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: Amen. Thank you for sharing to your groups. So let's
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: go for it. Where are we? This?
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: This got me thinking, Man, I so know I'm hearing
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: from the lawyer to get off these platforms. But and
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: I am, believe it or not, I'm hardly on the platforms.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: A lot of what you see are the posts or.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: Order order automatically generated. Amen from me.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: But I said it, let it go automatica social media
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: could really poison you, amen. And I'm probably gonna get
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: banned for saying these things. But all the phrases that
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: I'm using are probably gonna be monitored and gonna be
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: tagged for some reason.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: So let's go for it. Man. I'm not gonna worry
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: about it. I'm just gonna keep it moving. Amen. I'm
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: used to the I'm kind of used to.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: The bands and the restrictions and the shadow bands and
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: everything that they got for the messenger, Right, I'll just
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: leave it like that. But I'm a servant, man, servant
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: of the Most High God Almighty, Amen, And I just
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: love to serve people. Like I said, I don't think
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: guy's looking for leaders. He's looking for followers who will
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: serve him, and then he'll give his favor with men.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: Serve one another, Amen, humbly serve. A pastor is a servant,
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: a profit is a servant. Evangelist is a servant. A
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: teacher is a servant.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we're all served, Amen of the Most High God,
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: and we should be proud of that. It's a privilege
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: to serve in the Kingdom of God. It's a privilege
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: to serve the Lord.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: Amen. So no worries.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: Somebody got a lead, right, and let it be God leading,
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: leading us by his ways, by his truth.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: Amen. And when we do that, we're.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: Actually being led by the ultimate leader, Amen, the Lord himself.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: Serving leadership is a thing, right, And I'm gonna show
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: you the scriptures.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: Show you the scriptures. This is the Lord.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: In March chapter ten, verses forty three to forty five.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: Scriptures are clear. But this is not how it is
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: among you. Instead, whoever wishes to become a great, to
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: become great among you, must be your servant. Whoever wishes
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: to be first and most important among you must be
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: slave of all. But even the Son of Man did
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: not come to be served, but to serve and to
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: give his life as a ransom for many.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: Are you kidding me?
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: Like the Lord, God, the living Word of the Lord
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: is letting us know that we want to be a leader,
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: you want to be great among the people. So here
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: it is serve. I know a lot of us have
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: been doing us for years. We're serving. We're serving the
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: Lord as we serve the Lord with serving people, and
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: God sees the service to be first and most important
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: among you. You must be slave of all. And people
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: are going to have a hard time with the word
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: slave because they get to automatically think of slavery the
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: way we see it in America, where we've seen it
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: in America and European nations, and do your due diligence
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: and look at the scriptures clearly, and that's not the
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: slavery that the Lord is talking about. It's not the
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: slavery actually that God's word talks about old and covenant.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: But I know, I know we're used to that word
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: in a negative way, but the way that the Lord
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: is speaking of it, it's not negative at all.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: Hey man, he was asked the question from the disciples.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: I think the moms were with them, the moms which
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: one of them or the mom which one of my sons.
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: You know they want to be the left for right
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: in your kingdom. You know.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: The mom came through asked Jesus, and my sons want to,
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: you know, be a part of this. Sister Joeyne, I
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: see you. Good morning, God bless you, my sister, My friend.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: Jesus say you want to you want this, you want
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: this mantle, so you're gonna don't pay there's a cost
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: for it. And man so definitely was a rebuke, says
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: you want you want this, serve serf, it's not it's not.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: Lord help me.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: It's not a glamorous position. People want position right.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: Just serve.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: God gets all the glamorous. God gets all the glory.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: God gets all the honor, worship and praise. If we
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: direct people to the Lord, we're serving in the kingdom
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: for the kingdom purposes.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: I knew a man he went to be with the.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: Lord two years ago, three or four years ago, and
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: he was a Pizza Real owner.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: He owned a Pizza Real restaurant.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: But I've known about his shop years before I met
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: him personally. So I met him. He was a customer
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: of this company that I was working for. He was
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: one of my customers for like ten years, twelve years,
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: and one day we used to always go back and forth,
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: joking and just talking to one of them. So one
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: day said, man, I want to be just like you,
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: because you know, he had established business, his family was
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: with him in the business, and the business was thriving, right,
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: And he said, you want to.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: Be like me.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: He said, come here, let me talk to you. And
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: he sat me down, and he wasn't he wasn't joking.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: He was serious and let me know about all the
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: sacrifices he made to get to where he was. He
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: almost lost his wife, He didn't know his kids as
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: much as he wanted to know his kids, and they
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: grew up with, you know, despising him at certain areas,
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: even though they were working with him. Long story short, man,
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: that man had me too read up, tear it up, eyes,
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: tear it up. And I just my level of respect
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: for him went to a higher level. Amen, because now
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: he shared what it took for him to get to
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: where he was.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: At that point, Amen.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: I think the Lord is telling us the same thing
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: in a higher level, right, what it took for the
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: Lord to get to where he is. And we know
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: what God did. As a matter of fact, yesterday the
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: Bible study on the phone, we were in Isaiah chapter
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: fifty three. Read that and you'll see the prophet Isaiah
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: prophet saying about the Messiah, the michik McGee, the anoint
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: the one, how he was going to be punished and
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: crucified for us.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: Amen, you want.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: To talk about leadership, look at Jesus's life, right, and
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: you will see what the servant leader is all about.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: Since the Joy said, Amen, we're blessed to be the
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: servants of the Lord.
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: Yes we are. It's a high calling, but it's a
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: humble calling.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: At the same time, if God wants leaders in the
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: way the world defines leaders, then everybody will be climbing
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: up some kind of holy corporate ladder.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: But that's not the leadership the Lord is looking for. Right.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: Instead, God is looking for servants who are humble, obedient,
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: and surrendered to His will. Humble and obedient. It's two
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: out words right now in our modern day church. Ability
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: for some is a is a sign of weakness.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: No it's not.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: It's a sign of it's a sign of power under control.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: Meekness Jesus set the ultimate example when he said what
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: we read, whoever wants to be first must be slave
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: of all. He set the exam. He lived that way.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: God calls people to lead, but his kind of leadership
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: is servant, hearted, rooted, and humility and dependence on who
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: He is in your life and through your life. Totally
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: different than the leadership the way to corporate America shows
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: us or teaches us. Totally different than leadership and sports.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: Totally different, you know what I mean. So we're serving.
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: As we lead.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: We're followers that lead. God is looking for followers. He's
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: looking for obedience, he's looking for humility, he's looking for
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: a heart to serve him.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: He's looking at Yeah, we're gonna call.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: We're called to lead people to the King, Amen, not
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: lead people to us.
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: Hope, this makes sense.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: We have an opportunity to make a difference in somebody
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: else's life because God made a.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: Difference in our life.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: So because of that, Amen, you know, because of that,
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: we know that God is faithful. Freelance on mature Roman.

  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna put your you're calming up because it
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: looks like it's a little advertisement a man, But welcome
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: to the Morning Devo. Nonetheless, so let's look at Moses,
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: look at his life, look at David's life, King David's life.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: Let's look at even the apostles in the New Testament.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: Look at their life, look at their life closely. None
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: of them sought leadership. Moses, remember the burning bush. God
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: spoke to him through the burning bush. He was wondering,
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: why is the bush burning but being consumed? And Moses,
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: God told Moses, go ahead and tell phareral to let
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: my people go. And Moses, like I've studied, I can't.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: I can't do it, and pick somebody else. He wasn't
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: looking for that mission. He wasn't looking for that type
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: of leadership. But God gave it to him. But because
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: he doubted in the beginning, and then look at look
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: it up for yourself. He doubted in the beginning of
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: what God was telling him. He himself didn't make it
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: to the Promised land. The next generation made it to
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: the Promised land.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: And then but.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: God used him to lead the people out of captivity,
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: out of Egypt. And because of the mumbling, the complaining,
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: the backbiting, it took them forty years in the desert.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: Should have only took, according to some theologians, two to
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: four weeks to get out of there. Years David, King
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: David so much to talk about King David, right, the
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: anoint the king. He wasn't the first king, but he
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: was the anoint the king, right set up by God,
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: chosen by God to serve his family and.
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: The people of Israel. See his life. It wasn't picture perfect.
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: King David wasn't picture perfect.
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: But God said he was a man after his own heart,
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: So that right there is still to his every day.
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: I've been saved since two thousand and one. Every time
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: I hear that statement that God made, I really don't
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: understand that the reasons why he said that. I think
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: it is because David knew how to repent. Amen is
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: so thing I can think of. But if you know
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: a little bit more, I'm always willing to learn.
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: Amen. But David was called to lead, and what did
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: he do?
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: He served, he served, and when he wasn't serving, Amen,
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: he would get in trouble.
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: Y's Sheba.
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: Right, he was supposed to be at war, serving nation,
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: serving God, and he was hanging out looking at women
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: and taking showers and all that stuff. Another story for
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: another time, Right, it's in the scriptures though, and also
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: the disciples. Do you think any of them doing what
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: they were doing? Task collectors, fishermen, you know, people of
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: blue collar workers. You think they were looking for leadership position? No,
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: God called them, God qualified them. Yad said come and
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: follow me. He didn't say come and lead with me.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: He said come and follow me. So if you're following someone,
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: that means you're being led someplace somewhere. Jesus, I believe
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: one hundred percent is the ultimate leader.
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: He demonstrated his.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: Own love in this that while I was still a
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: hate of God, while you were still a hated god
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: of God, he still died for us.
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: Servant leadership. It is a thing.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: And this is not new for me, this revelation, Amen,
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: but it's a reminder to me. I've been putting servant leadership.
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: If you look at my wow uh LinkedIn, or if
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: you look at other platforms that I'm on it where
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: it says you know, what do you do? I said,
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: I'm a servant leader And people used to ask me
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: what does that mean? And I susplained to that, well,
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: I'm a Christian. I serve because Jesus demonstrated service and
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to be like him. Of course, they they
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: just smarked that off as something crazy. Some of them
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: understood what I was saying. Most of them did it,
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: But I hope you're getting it by way of Holy Spirit.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: Let's lead because we follow the leader, ultimate leader, the
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: perfect leader, the one without spot blemish, the one who's perfect,
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: the one who's divine, the one who's a wonderful counselor
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: the one who's the prince of peace, the one who's
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: almighty God. When you follow after him, Amen, and serve
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: his kingdom, you'll be serving people of all kinds, all
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: shapes and colors, all you know.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: Denominations, all of it.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: Amen and wow wow Amen, all right, thank you Alsophilis
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: for sharing that as well. People can see that as well.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: On the on the feet, I don't want to be fair.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: I don't want to put this up either to advertise this,
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: but I'm going to be there, hopefully low willing, doing
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: the sound for praise the Lord. Thank you so much
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: for putting that up. God calls people to lead, for
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: his kind of leadership is servant hearted.
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: And if the.
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: Body would get this, man, you know what kind of
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: work we could be doing. Furthering the work of the Kingdom,
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: avancing the work of the Kingdom. We're not building the kingdom.
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: I know sometimes I say it, but it's wrong. We
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: don't build a kingdom of God. No man, no human
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: hands could build a kingdom of God. We're expanding the
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: Kingdom message all through the earth. Why because we're serving leaders,
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: we're serving one another, We're serving God.
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: And it's like a glorified volunteer opportunity. And when I
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: say glorified, I don't mean that like taking a shot,
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: like being a smart alec about it. I mean it's
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: glorified because God gets the glory a man and with
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: glory carriers. So none of these people in the Bible
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: that I could see looking for leadership position. But God
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: used them because they followed him first, and they knew
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: He knew their hearts. God used them because they followed
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: after him. If you want to be used by God, right,
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: you want to be known by God, you want to
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: be in a front. Amen, serve, serve the people of God,
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: serve others, but put God first, follow him.
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: Everybody in position, apostle, prophet, bangelist, passive teacher, all those
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: in positions in the body of Christ to be servants,
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: serving God, serving one another.
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: No graduation, there's none of this. Oh. I used to
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: do that, but now I don't do that anymore.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: I used to clean the bathroom, but because of my position,
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: I don't do that no more.
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: I used to.
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: Pray for people after church, but because of my position,
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: I don't do that no more. I used to sweep
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: the parking lot, but because of my position, I don't
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: do that no more. We shouldn't be saying none of that.
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: Amen. God gave us what we have, and whatever we have.
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: Let's take care of whatever we have as if it's
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: from him, because guess what it is from him? So
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: I value everything that God gives me.
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: They ben, you'll.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: Catch me cleaning bathrooms, clean in the backyard, cleaning somebody's house.
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: I'm a servant, lead by example because I have the
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: perfect example, and I have no excuse. Since naicolgad morning,
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: God bless you, my good morning brother saying God bless you.
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: People need to also remember when they serve they need
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: to do it unto God. Sometimes people forget and look
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: for recognition for themselves. The only one who needs to
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: see us is our heavenly Father. Yes, yes, Collazins chapter three.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: If you read that we put everything we do, we
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: do it unto the Lord. God sees what we do
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: for him, even if it's not recognized by men.
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: Amen. And sometimes I'm like.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: Man, how come nobody recognizes what this person just did
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: or what I did or what that person did? And
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: God always tells me I saw it, and I'm gonna
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: bless it. I'm gonna bless that family, bless that person.
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Sisting the Gold for that comment. I'm right
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: with you on that. So I'm out of time, though
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: a little overtime right now, but thank you so much
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: for hanging out with me. It's a pleasure to serve.
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: Amen. But what are we doing.
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: We're reading the Word and we're getting this word in us.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: And the more of the Word we get in us,
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: the more of the Word that comes out of us
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: by way of speech, by way of loving one another,
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: loving people, loving God, and putting everything in perspective when
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: it comes to serving leadership.
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: So God bless you all.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: God keep you all, and remember always that God is good.
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: Peace,
