Speaker 1: Live dot So Winners with a z dot org And
0:15
Speaker 1: we're streaming on social media platforms and also on YouTube
0:19
Speaker 1: as well, and also of course celebrate a network, the
0:23
Speaker 1: Lea Valley's number one urban gospel music station online since
0:27
Speaker 1: two thousand and eight. We're there as well. So listen,
0:30
Speaker 1: let's go for it. I know a lot of people
0:33
Speaker 1: struggle in this area, especially the younger generation. They are bored.
0:39
Speaker 1: A lot of people are bored. They don't know what
0:41
Speaker 1: to do with their time, They don't know what to
0:43
Speaker 1: do with their life, unfortunately. But today we're gonna discover
0:49
Speaker 1: how do we overcome boredom? How do you overcome boredom?
0:55
Speaker 1: Board right now? Hey man, social media has a way
0:59
Speaker 1: of taking our time right well, that the death scroll
1:05
Speaker 1: to keep on scrolling and scrolling and scrolling looking for
1:09
Speaker 1: something that's going to be feeling or appealing, right and
1:15
Speaker 1: it never fulfills and never satisfies. It just distracts waste time.
1:21
Speaker 1: And man, there's some good things happening on social media, obviously,
1:25
Speaker 1: but most for the most part, if we're not careful,
1:27
Speaker 1: it just could cause more boredom. You're looking for something
1:31
Speaker 1: to do outside of what God's plan is for your life,
1:36
Speaker 1: and that's very dangerous. And listen to this. Look what
1:39
Speaker 1: I wrote here. Listen to what I wrote here. Boredom
1:42
Speaker 1: is usually the result of living a life disconnected from purpose,
1:50
Speaker 1: disconnected from your God given purpose. Boredom is not solved
1:56
Speaker 1: by more entertainment, but by deeper engagement with God. Matthew
2:03
Speaker 1: Chapter six, verse thirty three, very popular scripture for a believer.
2:07
Speaker 1: If you read the Scriptures and the New Covenant, you
2:10
Speaker 1: already know that scripture is very powerful, very important, very powerful.
2:15
Speaker 1: A lot of people haven't memorized. Amen, And we're gonna
2:19
Speaker 1: read it, and we're gonna start there. I'm going to
2:22
Speaker 1: see how to overcome boredom and men. People are looking
2:25
Speaker 1: for something to do, but they don't have the purpose
2:28
Speaker 1: or the plan to do what they want to do
2:31
Speaker 1: really right, so they become bored in the same old,
2:35
Speaker 1: same old free lance the Monsieur Roman, thank you so
2:39
Speaker 1: much for coming back to the morning. Devo's good to
2:41
Speaker 1: see you, my friends. So let's go for it. If
2:43
Speaker 1: you have any questions, comments, concerns, I want to pray requests,
2:47
Speaker 1: Please don't hesitate to leave it on a live chat.
2:49
Speaker 1: That's what we're here for. Also, after we pray, we'll
2:52
Speaker 1: share us out for like sixty seconds, and then when
2:55
Speaker 1: we come back on the other side of those sixty
2:57
Speaker 1: we'll get into Matthew chapter six, verse number thirty three. Ready, So, Father,
3:03
Speaker 1: I thank you today that were excited. We are excited
3:07
Speaker 1: to see you do something so creative in our hearts
3:11
Speaker 1: and our minds that boredom will have to go. There
3:14
Speaker 1: would be nothing to be bored about. Thank you, Lord
3:17
Speaker 1: God for the excitement of being born again, for the
3:19
Speaker 1: excitement of being an evangelist, truth teller, for the excitement
3:24
Speaker 1: to reach other people with the love and gospel of
3:27
Speaker 1: your word. Thank you, Lord God for exciting visions and dreams, signs, miracles,
3:34
Speaker 1: and wonders that are available to us. Thank you, Love God,
3:38
Speaker 1: for every single person that's listening or watching right now,
3:41
Speaker 1: that you will continue to install the powerful word that
3:45
Speaker 1: you created to do in our lives. Thank you, Lord
3:48
Speaker 1: God that you are creative and you're always doing something new.
3:52
Speaker 1: So therefore we're going to have to be on the
3:54
Speaker 1: desk roll on the internet, on social media, but we
3:56
Speaker 1: could scroll through your word. Loor God, your word is
4:00
Speaker 1: the most exciting word that we could ever read, powerful alive,
4:04
Speaker 1: act of shopping at any double edged sword. And the
4:06
Speaker 1: word is able to do exactly what your word says
4:09
Speaker 1: it would do in our lives, individually and corporately. So
4:12
Speaker 1: I pray a hedge of protection over our minds, our lives, physically,
4:16
Speaker 1: emotionally and spiritually. I pray health to our bodies, straight
4:19
Speaker 1: to our bones, and the powerful name of Jesus, I
4:22
Speaker 1: dispatch worrying angels, ministering angels right now, by the authority
4:26
Speaker 1: of the Lord Jesus, to be dispatched to every single
4:29
Speaker 1: person's situation right now, every household, every workspace, every gym,
4:35
Speaker 1: every moment of our lives. That look, we will be
4:38
Speaker 1: watched and guided and guarded by the angel that's assigned
4:42
Speaker 1: to all those who love you. So I speak life
4:44
Speaker 1: concerning all things living, and I come against anything that
4:47
Speaker 1: tries to bring death to our ears and death to
4:49
Speaker 1: our lives. And Jesus Holy Name, my prayer is by faith,
4:52
Speaker 1: and those who agree we say amen to the Amen.
4:56
Speaker 1: And when I'm bored about praying. I'm not bored by prayer.
4:59
Speaker 1: I love to pray. I'm a prayer warrior. Let's go
5:01
Speaker 1: forward sixty seconds. Help me shut this out. When we
5:04
Speaker 1: come back, we get right into it. I'll be right back. Amen,
6:19
Speaker 1: We're back. Let's go for ladies and gentlemen, go into
6:23
Speaker 1: your Bible app get your Bible ready, amen, and go over.
6:27
Speaker 1: If you have a written Bible, it may suggests you
6:29
Speaker 1: hold on to it. We'll buy some more right now,
6:32
Speaker 1: because in the near future of those digital Bibles and
6:35
Speaker 1: those digital platforms, they're changing stuff in the wording. Amen.
6:39
Speaker 1: But if you have a printed word, a printed Bible, Amen,
6:43
Speaker 1: it'll be hard for you to be deceived when they
6:46
Speaker 1: start changing things in the scriptures and the digital platforms.
6:51
Speaker 1: As you know, we could see it coming. And if
6:53
Speaker 1: you know anything about prophecy or anything about what God
6:58
Speaker 1: says that's going to happen in the future, amen, you
7:01
Speaker 1: know that it's gonna be a big deception going on.
7:04
Speaker 1: It's happening right now. Unfortunately, a lot of people are
7:08
Speaker 1: going into different ways of thinking that are not golly,
7:12
Speaker 1: that are actually on golly, and they're really stemming from
7:15
Speaker 1: the pits of Hell and the enemy is a liar.
7:18
Speaker 1: The devil's a liar and man, and that could also
7:21
Speaker 1: cause boredom as being someone who says or professes to
7:26
Speaker 1: be a Christian, they're gonna be bored with the same old,
7:28
Speaker 1: same old, because they're not getting into the scriptures for themselves.
7:32
Speaker 1: So I always promote that you and I get into
7:35
Speaker 1: the scriptures for ourselves. So let's get into this word
7:37
Speaker 1: real quick. A man, I'm gonna put this on the screen.
7:41
Speaker 1: How do you overcome boredom? How do we overcome boredom
7:45
Speaker 1: today in the morning, devo A man. Let's get to
7:47
Speaker 1: the scripture. Here, the Bible says in Matthew chapter six,
7:51
Speaker 1: verse thirty three, the Lord says, but first and most importantly,
7:57
Speaker 1: seek aim at strive after His kingdom and his righteousness,
8:04
Speaker 1: his way of doing and being right, the attitude and
8:09
Speaker 1: character of God, and all these things that we just
8:13
Speaker 1: read that God just mentioned, and all these things will
8:17
Speaker 1: be given to you also. So I don't know how
8:23
Speaker 1: you will be bored when you're seeking the kingdom of God,
8:27
Speaker 1: when you're aiming for when you're striving after His kingdom
8:31
Speaker 1: and his righteousness, when you're looking for the Kingdom of God,
8:37
Speaker 1: seeking and out, reading about it, memorizing scriptures, communicating with
8:43
Speaker 1: other believers and brothers and sisters, and the Lord filled
8:46
Speaker 1: with the Holy Spirit, sharing your testimony, sharing your faith.
8:52
Speaker 1: I don't know how anyone could be bored in the
8:54
Speaker 1: Kingdom of God. There's absolutely no way in my way
8:58
Speaker 1: of thinking right now, I don't think that will ever
9:00
Speaker 1: be boring to me to see a life change because
9:03
Speaker 1: of the Gospel message, to see somebody moved and touched
9:06
Speaker 1: by Holy Spirit God when you share your testimony, and
9:10
Speaker 1: the Bible says all these things will be given to
9:13
Speaker 1: you also. So therefore, I don't know. Being bored as
9:18
Speaker 1: a believer to me is an oxymorrow doesn't make any sense, right,
9:24
Speaker 1: It's not possible for me to be bored doing the
9:28
Speaker 1: work of works of the Lord. Amen. Now if I'm
9:31
Speaker 1: doing something crazy outside of the will of God, and
9:34
Speaker 1: I'm living life without purpose and I'm just scrolling through
9:38
Speaker 1: the Bible just to get a revelation that only I'm
9:42
Speaker 1: gonna get, like some preachers say, oh, you got to
9:45
Speaker 1: get the revelation God told me, and God told me
9:47
Speaker 1: and God told me. That could get boring to me,
9:50
Speaker 1: Like how many times has God told you x y
9:54
Speaker 1: Z and leads everybody else in the dark. To me,
9:57
Speaker 1: that's a little boring. It's a stretch me, Amen, to
10:00
Speaker 1: believe that God is just speaking to certain people and
10:04
Speaker 1: he's not speaking to everybody else when these people get
10:08
Speaker 1: certain revelations. Amen. From the scriptures. So boredom is usually
10:12
Speaker 1: the result of living a life disconnected from purpose, from
10:16
Speaker 1: your God given purpose. God's purpose and plan for you
10:21
Speaker 1: and me. Perfect, Amen, Perfect. A lot of people say, well,
10:27
Speaker 1: I'm far from perfect, but listen, you're not far from
10:30
Speaker 1: the perfect one that lives inside of you. And also,
10:32
Speaker 1: we're not really called to be the perfect ones on earth.
10:37
Speaker 1: We're called to be the blamest one, blameless ones on earth.
10:40
Speaker 1: We're called to be the light, the salt of the earth. Amen.
10:45
Speaker 1: Now I hear a scripture in my mind, so don't
10:48
Speaker 1: quote me on we're I call it be perfect part.
10:51
Speaker 1: But I know we're called to be blameless and we're
10:54
Speaker 1: called to be the light of the earth and the
10:56
Speaker 1: salt of the earth. We're supposed to be. So winness
10:59
Speaker 1: man about planting seeds of eternal life. And that's not
11:04
Speaker 1: boring at all. Amen. If you ever did any evangelism,
11:07
Speaker 1: if you hung out with me while we've been doing
11:09
Speaker 1: evangelism all these years. You know, there's nothing boring about
11:12
Speaker 1: It's the most exciting thing that I do is going
11:17
Speaker 1: out there preaching the Gospel to strangers, people who I
11:21
Speaker 1: don't know what this situation is, but Holy Spirit does
11:24
Speaker 1: amen to me. That's exciting. That's exciting. But the one
11:28
Speaker 1: good morning, God, blessed Amen. Thank you so much for
11:31
Speaker 1: coming in and tuning in to the morning DeVos because
11:34
Speaker 1: you see my bro. So let me get to my
11:36
Speaker 1: notes here. The root of boredom. What do you think
11:42
Speaker 1: boredom comes from Scripture? And Ecclesiastes one versus eighty nine.
11:49
Speaker 1: If you look at that scripture, you get to have
11:50
Speaker 1: realized that boreden sometimes or often comes from the result
11:56
Speaker 1: of a disconnected person, a person who's disconnected from the
12:00
Speaker 1: Word of God, from the truth of God, from the
12:02
Speaker 1: love of God, from the mercy of God, from the
12:05
Speaker 1: forgiveness of God. A person who's not saved should be
12:09
Speaker 1: walking around this world boring because after you do what
12:12
Speaker 1: the world calls you to do or asks of you
12:15
Speaker 1: to do, or promises you, and you find out it's
12:18
Speaker 1: all a lie, you'd be like, yeah, I did it all.
12:20
Speaker 1: That's how I came to the Lord. I came to
12:22
Speaker 1: the Lord like pretty much unsatisfied with the world system.
12:27
Speaker 1: Doing everything the world offered, I did it, and I
12:30
Speaker 1: was like, Okay, how come I'm not satisfied? How come
12:34
Speaker 1: I'm not getting all the things that the world promised me?
12:37
Speaker 1: You know, I did X, y Z. So now what
12:40
Speaker 1: I became bored of that type of lifestyle, and I
12:43
Speaker 1: knew there has to be more to life than what
12:45
Speaker 1: I was currently where I was currently at, and what
12:48
Speaker 1: I was currently doing at the time. So King Solomon,
12:53
Speaker 1: with all his wisdom and all his wealth and all
12:56
Speaker 1: his women right still call life meaningless? Yes, without God?
13:02
Speaker 1: So you could have it all, right, all the money,
13:06
Speaker 1: the fame, the fortune, women, cars, men, cars, We could
13:12
Speaker 1: have it all. And why are you bored then? And
13:15
Speaker 1: why you're unsatisfied? If that's all you were looking for
13:20
Speaker 1: and that's all you ever needed, you realize that a
13:22
Speaker 1: lot of rich people. I've met millionaires that are miserable.
13:26
Speaker 1: I personally met millionaires that are miserable and they complain
13:30
Speaker 1: and they murmur, but they have all the money. So
13:32
Speaker 1: in my mind, I'm like, man, you have all this money,
13:35
Speaker 1: why are you not happy? Why are you angry? And
13:38
Speaker 1: why do you seem bored? You always have to do
13:41
Speaker 1: something to try to satisfy your craved for happiness. So
13:47
Speaker 1: you're craved for joy. You have to buy people, buy
13:50
Speaker 1: people off. You have to put money on everything, even
13:55
Speaker 1: unfortunately loved ones. You just throw money at everything. To me,
14:00
Speaker 1: that's not the way to be Amen, that's not life.
14:02
Speaker 1: Boredom is not solved by more entertainment, but by deeper
14:06
Speaker 1: engagement with God. When you're bored, that's a signal that
14:12
Speaker 1: you have a hunger for meaning, and that hunger for
14:15
Speaker 1: meaning and life can only be filled by the Lord Jesus. Amen.
14:21
Speaker 1: He tells us where we came from and where we're going.
14:24
Speaker 1: The Lord Jesus says that and the word Amen. Also,
14:29
Speaker 1: once we know where we came from, Amen, what does
14:32
Speaker 1: that mean? God shows us the meaning of life through
14:35
Speaker 1: his word. And then after this life is over, if
14:39
Speaker 1: you live a godly life, a purposeful life, a life
14:42
Speaker 1: full of holy ghosts, you should be having an exciting life. Right,
14:45
Speaker 1: and then we know where we're going our destiny. Amen.
14:48
Speaker 1: So God has shown us how to live this life
14:52
Speaker 1: out in godliness and righteousness and He's given us every
14:55
Speaker 1: single spiritual gift that we will ever need on this
14:58
Speaker 1: side of eternity. That don't excite y'all, don't know what
15:02
Speaker 1: will being bored. If you're bored going to church, Amen,
15:06
Speaker 1: you might have to check yourself first, Pray to God,
15:09
Speaker 1: ask yourself or see make sure you're still in the faith.
15:13
Speaker 1: That's number one. Because it might not be the church
15:16
Speaker 1: that's boring. It might be that you're boring because you're
15:18
Speaker 1: disconnected from the power God, from the anointing of God.
15:23
Speaker 1: But it is also possible that the church you might
15:26
Speaker 1: be attending and you find so bored forced to go,
15:29
Speaker 1: you're forcing yourself to listen, And it might be that
15:32
Speaker 1: then I filled with the Holy Ghost, or they're not
15:35
Speaker 1: telling you the word of God, or they're just talking.
15:38
Speaker 1: Beware of preachers that say they're preaching the word of
15:43
Speaker 1: God and they never quote any scriptures. It's crazy, right.
15:48
Speaker 1: So if I got up here in the morning, devo
15:50
Speaker 1: and I said, we're just gonna devote some time to
15:53
Speaker 1: God and I never bring up the scriptures, you know,
15:55
Speaker 1: I should be suspect. Anybody that does that should be suspect.
15:59
Speaker 1: You'll be like, okay, unless they have. You know, some
16:01
Speaker 1: people I know have the scriptures memorized. That's cool, Amen,
16:05
Speaker 1: and that's real powerful, I guess, Amen, for people who
16:08
Speaker 1: have that capacity or that gift to memorize scriptures. I
16:12
Speaker 1: know a couple of scriptures, but I know people who
16:14
Speaker 1: know hundreds of scriptures and they could call them from
16:17
Speaker 1: the top and they don't live boring lives. But those
16:21
Speaker 1: are not people that are you know, that's not an
16:26
Speaker 1: ordinary situation. Those people are you know, walking in deeper
16:31
Speaker 1: levels from the scriptures in God and Christ than others.
16:36
Speaker 1: So being bored is basically a signal that you have
16:41
Speaker 1: a hunger and a thirst that only Jesus could fill
16:45
Speaker 1: the hunger and thirst. Amen, And let me go back
16:49
Speaker 1: to my notes here. Sorry. So true satisfaction is found
16:55
Speaker 1: where in the Kingdom of God, the body of Christ,
16:59
Speaker 1: by Christ, Jesus. Some people are looking for satisfaction outside
17:03
Speaker 1: of the Kingdom of God. And yeah, they'll get temporal
17:06
Speaker 1: satisfaction from taking drugs, doing things with other people, hanging
17:11
Speaker 1: out with other people that are not, you know, engaged
17:15
Speaker 1: in the Kingdom of God. They look like they're having
17:17
Speaker 1: a whole lot of fun. The young generations look looks
17:20
Speaker 1: like TikTok and videos on YouTube and all that, and
17:23
Speaker 1: they call that fun. Look at all that fun. Look
17:25
Speaker 1: at all the fun those people are having. And meanwhile,
17:27
Speaker 1: these people are with our purpose. They're dying inside. They're
17:32
Speaker 1: still seeking after the kingdom, but they don't know which
17:35
Speaker 1: kingdom to seek after. They're in the kingdom of darkness,
17:38
Speaker 1: not in the kingdom of light. We need to pray
17:40
Speaker 1: those for those people, pray them out of that situation
17:42
Speaker 1: so that way they don't continue to influence our kids,
17:45
Speaker 1: influence the younger generation, influence even our generation. Sometimes if
17:49
Speaker 1: we're not careful. Boredom is like the cousin to sin,
17:54
Speaker 1: because once you're bored and you start getting too much
17:57
Speaker 1: alone time and idle mind, and then that's when we
18:00
Speaker 1: all get in trouble. Amen. That's why the Lord says,
18:03
Speaker 1: seek first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness, and
18:07
Speaker 1: all these things will be added to you. Boredom could
18:09
Speaker 1: be a sign that your spiritual life needs refueling. You
18:14
Speaker 1: might be emptying out, you might be overwhelmed. You might
18:18
Speaker 1: not be knowledgeable of how God wants us to go
18:21
Speaker 1: to him with all our burdens. Jesus said, come to
18:24
Speaker 1: me all those who are weary and burdened, and I
18:27
Speaker 1: will give you rest. That rest that God gives us
18:30
Speaker 1: is joy peace, that peace work keeps on coming up.
18:34
Speaker 1: I need peace, You need peace. Why wouldn't anybody want peace?
18:37
Speaker 1: Once you have peace, he would never be bored. I'll
18:40
Speaker 1: tell you right now. A person that doesn't have peace
18:43
Speaker 1: probably will be bored in life because they be like
18:46
Speaker 1: I do everything, I did everything, I have everything, and
18:49
Speaker 1: I still don't have peace. You want peace, You want
18:51
Speaker 1: the peace of God that transcends all understanding. But the
18:55
Speaker 1: Frank I see you, Good morning, God, bless yes. Amen
18:58
Speaker 1: to that, Sam Yes, Amen, and amen to the amen. Right,
19:02
Speaker 1: Boredom can be a sign that your spiritual life needs refueling.
19:06
Speaker 1: So I know a lot of people think this is boring.
19:08
Speaker 1: What I'm gonna say, spend time in prayer, pray, ask God,
19:12
Speaker 1: communicate with God. Talk to God. That is not at
19:15
Speaker 1: all boring, unless you're talking to a false God or
19:18
Speaker 1: an idol or a guru or a dead person. Right.
19:23
Speaker 1: Some people talk to the dead for some odd reason
19:26
Speaker 1: and they think that getting is spoken back to. If
19:29
Speaker 1: that happens, listen, you need them. To surround yourself with
19:33
Speaker 1: holy egos, felled people to help you through that and
19:36
Speaker 1: pray you prayer out of that situation. Spend time in prayer,
19:40
Speaker 1: spend time and worship, and of course, read your scripture.
19:44
Speaker 1: Read the Bible. Man, you want to know about God,
19:47
Speaker 1: read his word. He left us enough infament, more than
19:51
Speaker 1: enough information to live a life of godliness, righteousness, holiness, righte, purity. Joy.
19:58
Speaker 1: Joy is actually the power that God gives us, the
20:03
Speaker 1: joy of the Lord, when the God of heaven and earth,
20:06
Speaker 1: When the God of heaven and Earth lives inside of us,
20:09
Speaker 1: joy becomes the power a man. Joy is our strength
20:13
Speaker 1: and joy since joy is our strength, that means borederm
20:16
Speaker 1: is our weakness. Think about it. God's word is never boring.
20:19
Speaker 1: It's a blessing. Of course, absolutely, man, absolutely, order can
20:26
Speaker 1: be a sign that your spiritual life needs refueling. How
20:30
Speaker 1: about this, you're bored when you go to your house
20:34
Speaker 1: of worship, your church or whatever. I know something exciting.
20:37
Speaker 1: Why don't you start serving in that church or that community.
20:41
Speaker 1: Meet other people. Once you meet other people, you start realizing, man,
20:46
Speaker 1: you're useful. Right, You could share your life with somebody else.
20:50
Speaker 1: You can meet new people, You can pray with other people.
20:54
Speaker 1: You could hope and dream with other people. When I'm
20:57
Speaker 1: a dreamer, amen, So when I I see other dreamers,
21:01
Speaker 1: that excites me and I connect with other dreamers, people
21:03
Speaker 1: who are looking right for something greater than what they
21:09
Speaker 1: currently have. And we're looking towards the Kingdom of God.
21:11
Speaker 1: We're seeking it from the Kingdom of God. First. We're
21:14
Speaker 1: not seeking the world worldliness stuff first. We're not going
21:19
Speaker 1: to Google's first idols first. We're not going to self
21:24
Speaker 1: help books first. Right, We're not trying to be prideful
21:28
Speaker 1: and arrogant, which to me is a boring life and
21:30
Speaker 1: a miserable life. When I meet somebody who's proud and arrogant,
21:34
Speaker 1: all they talk about is themselves. I know they're not failed,
21:37
Speaker 1: and I know they're not satisfied because they have to
21:40
Speaker 1: get validation all the time. Look what I did. They
21:43
Speaker 1: go on social media and said, look what I have,
21:45
Speaker 1: Look what I did. Look how many followers I have,
21:49
Speaker 1: Look how much influence I have. It's about III like
21:52
Speaker 1: an opera singer. Me me, me like an opera singer. Right,
21:56
Speaker 1: and it shouldn't be that way. Serve others, volunteer at
22:00
Speaker 1: your church. That's exciting, right, You will never be bored.
22:05
Speaker 1: There will never be a shortage of people who you
22:09
Speaker 1: can serve in your church. Help a neighbor, right go
22:15
Speaker 1: outside of your community or in your community and see
22:19
Speaker 1: who needs help. Maybe start with the elderly, Maybe start
22:22
Speaker 1: with the people who you see in your community that
22:25
Speaker 1: nobody really connects with for whatever reason. I mean, use
22:28
Speaker 1: wisdom and use discernment. But help other people. Help a neighbor,
22:33
Speaker 1: Support your local ministries. Amen, you can support me and
22:37
Speaker 1: cell I readio network, support websites right there on the
22:41
Speaker 1: thing that's exciting because when you invest in something that
22:44
Speaker 1: you know is helping others and helping other ministries, it's
22:48
Speaker 1: exciting to see what God's going to do with the
22:49
Speaker 1: see that you sow. There's no boredom in there, right.
22:54
Speaker 1: Christ wants us to serve so that we can reflect
23:00
Speaker 1: his love, his grace's mercy, reflect his power to others.
23:06
Speaker 1: But we asked to have this with a deep, powerful joy.
23:11
Speaker 1: And once we have that joy, boredom has to go
23:13
Speaker 1: because we fill with the love of God, we feel
23:15
Speaker 1: with the joy of God, we feel with the spirit
23:18
Speaker 1: of God, and we want to also help other people
23:21
Speaker 1: see that for themselves as well. Once somebody knows that
23:24
Speaker 1: purpose in life, a man that God give him purpose.
23:26
Speaker 1: No one should be bored anymore. Boredom has to go.
23:30
Speaker 1: How do you overcome boredom? You follow Christ, You serve others,
23:34
Speaker 1: a man who speak life, read the scriptures, you pray,
23:36
Speaker 1: you worship, and you will never be bored. Trust me,
23:39
Speaker 1: I know, good morning, since the joyce. I see you, God,

Speaker 1: my friend. Your time should be used wisely because boredom
23:59
Speaker 1: usually he sticks around when you don't have a plan
24:03
Speaker 1: for the day. Boredom usually sticks around when you're idle
24:06
Speaker 1: and you're just scrolling on the internet. Boredom comes when
24:10

24:14
Speaker 1: not eternal. Does not have any eternal value. Born them
24:19
Speaker 1: will hit you like that. So use your time wisely.

Speaker 1: if you don't plan out your day. The day has
24:36
Speaker 1: a plan for you, and the day has a plan
24:38
Speaker 1: for me. You don't plan to succeed. That means you're
24:41
Speaker 1: planning to fail. A man plan something, Do something today
24:46
Speaker 1: that you can engage others in a man go for
24:50
Speaker 1: a walk, meet somebody, speak to somebody, Smile at somebody.
24:54
Speaker 1: That's exciting. You know what's exciting to me when you
24:57
Speaker 1: just smile. Yesterday was a little weird. When I was
25:00
Speaker 1: coming home when the supermarket came home, some two girls
25:04
Speaker 1: just pulled up next to my car right and I
25:07
Speaker 1: was like, okay, and it was like an empty parking lot,
25:11
Speaker 1: and then one of the girls waved, so I just smiled,
25:15
Speaker 1: and the girl smiled back and they left. Maybe that
25:19
Speaker 1: was God showing me listen, sometimes people just need to smile.
25:24
Speaker 1: Maybe they were doing drugs or into something. I don't
25:28
Speaker 1: know what that was all about, but you know, I'm
25:31
Speaker 1: a spiritual man, so I'm like, what was that all about? Lord?
25:34
Speaker 1: Amend they just need a smile? Or they did I
25:37

25:57
Speaker 1: about it, that I could. You know, there was no
25:59
Speaker 1: harm done, Amen, No words exchange, just a smile. Smiles

Speaker 1: and build relationships. I'm giving you a lot because all
27:20
Speaker 1: those things that I just mentioned are founding the Kingdom
27:22
Speaker 1: of God. If we seek the Kingdom of God first
27:24
Speaker 1: and his righteousness, all those things that the Word mentions
27:28
Speaker 1: in Matthew six thirty three will be added to us also.
27:32
