Transcript
- 0:02Hey there, you're listening to the Generation's Church podcast. We pray that the
- 0:06word of God today will challenge change and channel you into your God given destiny.
- 0:10Now let's get started. So if you have your Bibles, whether digital
- 0:15format or you have a physical Bible, can you turn to Luke chapter nineteen.
- 0:19We're going to be reading from verse one to ten. So today we'll
- 0:22be actually be looking at the life of Zaykaos. I'm going in zach just
- 0:26so that I don't mispronounce his name. So verse one, Jesus entered Jericho
- 0:31and made his way through the town. There was a man there named Zachaeus.
- 0:36He was the chief tax collector in the region, and he had become
- 0:39very rich. So today we're going to talk about Zachaias. So the first
- 0:43thing we know about him is that he's actually a tax collector. So back
- 0:47then in ancient not Incia lat but back then in Jerusalem, Zacharias was actually
- 0:53not real. I mean text collectors were actually not really liked. They were
- 0:56actually well, they're not like today's LHDN said. Basically, why people hte
- 1:00them so much is because when they collect Number one, when they collected tax,
- 1:03they collected more than they should. So for example, if they're supposed
- 1:07to collect like one ringate both of tax, they'll collect five ring it and
- 1:11they'll keep the follrowing it from themselves. That's why people didn't like them.
- 1:14Another reason why people don't like them is because, well, they're actually collecting
- 1:18money for the oppressors, people who are oppressing the Jews that time, the
- 1:23Romans. So it's basically he's collecting money from his brothers and sisters, collecting
- 1:27more than they should, and then whatever he collected, he's giving his giving
- 1:30to the people who oppressed them. That's why people didn't like him. And
- 1:33secondly, he was very rich because he was very corrupt. He will take
- 1:36all the money and he's a chief, right, so you take all the
- 1:38money for himself from his own brothers and sisters. So he was a betrayer,
- 1:42he was a corrupt He was a horrible person all together. So verse
- 1:47three he says that. But he says that, and he was seeking to
- 1:51see who Jesus was, but he was too short to see over the crowd
- 1:57he met, So he actually wanted to see Jesus. So if you actually
- 2:01read the word, probably one chapter before this, Jesus was actually doing a
- 2:07miracle at the door before he entered Jericho. Right at the door as he
- 2:09arrived at Jericho, he actually healed the blind bagger. So when he actually
- 2:14healed the blind bagger, I'm word got out. Believe what I believe?
- 2:16The world got out, and Zechias heard about it. So Zachaius he actually
- 2:21heard about what Jesus did, maybe not even from that event, maybe from
- 2:23all this wild or Jesus ministry. Zachaiyas actually heard about this. And because
- 2:28of the news of what who he about, he heard about Jesus, he
- 2:31wanted to know who Jesus was verse four. Verse four, it says,
- 2:37and so he ran ahead and climb a sycamore fig tree beside the road for
- 2:40Jesus was going to pass that way. And when Jesus came by, he
- 2:44looked up Exacchaius and called him by name, Zachaius. He said, quick
- 2:49came down. I must be a guest in your home today. Jesus has
- 2:53never met Zachias before. Zachaius has never met Jesus before, But miraculously Jesus
- 2:58knew his name because yeah, he's God. So so Jesus calls that chis
- 3:01and say, hey, come down. And the next verse Zakias quickly climb
- 3:07climbed down and took Jesus into his house with great excitement and joy. But
- 3:12the people were displease. So other people were there when Zakias climbed the tree.
- 3:16Everybody saw that when Jesus caused that chaos, everybody saw that, chais
- 3:20hey something everybody calls. Everybody saw that chaos. And and when when they
- 3:24found out that Jesus going to his house, they didn't like it because Jesus
- 3:28was a rabbi hang out with a sinner, so they were saying all these
- 3:30meanings about him, like, oh, he's a sinner, Why is Jesus
- 3:34going to his house? And blah blah blah. The next verse, verse
- 3:38eight, meanwhile, Zachaius stood before the lord and said, I will give
- 3:45half my wealth to the poor Lord if and if I have cheated anyone on
- 3:50their taxes, I will give them back four times as much. Jesus responded,
- 3:54Salvation has come to this home today, for this man has shown himself
- 3:59to be a true son of Abraham. For the son of Man came to
- 4:01seek and save those who are lost in man. God blessed the reading of
- 4:05His word. So today as I was preparing for the for the word,
- 4:10today God is so ministering to me as well. And this is what God
- 4:14actually says to me. He says that, you know, Kenji, I
- 4:15want even in your own lives, don't just know about faith, don't just
- 4:21have knowledge about faith, but you need to live by faith. So whatever
- 4:26that you have heard all this while, whatever they've heard from you two,
- 4:30whatever they've heard from the pulpit, whatever that if you heard from PASTA and
- 4:32D, whatever you have heard from other pastors in your own life, whatever
- 4:35if you have heard or whatever they've read on in the Bible. It's not
- 4:40just for hate knowledge. But we're supposed to live by faith. And today
- 4:43we're going to study the life of za Chaus, especially this incident, and
- 4:46we will learn how we actually can live by faith, because that's actually what
- 4:49God wants us to do, especially for ourselves today, even myself included.
- 4:54So there are just this simple tree perspectives or tree points that we're gonna that
- 5:00we can draw out from this scripture. Okay, cool Number one, if
- 5:02we ask ourselves and really reflect upon our own lives, is it really enough?
- 5:06Is it really enough to live our lives all peaceful, all great,
- 5:12live our lives being you know, having all this money in our bank,
- 5:15you know, living our lives, you know, just being a good person.
- 5:16Is that really enough? Or is it living by faith, living in
- 5:20communion with Jesus, knowing who Jesus really is, knowing what is Jesus purpose
- 5:25in our life? Is that? Is that? Is that better? Zakias
- 5:29realized that Zakias realized that Jesus was the better decision. So as I was
- 5:32thinking about this point, right, it's pretty cool God broadly remembers it of
- 5:36this story. So that one year, right, I think when I was
- 5:40nineteen years old. Yeah, I was in walm six. So my favorite
- 5:43food in this whole world, not really back then was Chilipan me. Oh,
- 5:46Chileipan me man my favorite way. So I was doing a Daniel Fast
- 5:50that year, and then my friends told me, hey, Kenji today for
- 5:55lunch, you're gonna go Chileapan me. I go, like, all right,
- 5:57man, my favorite food. I can't say no to that. I'm
- 6:00gonna go have some chili fan me review. But I was on Daniel Fast,
- 6:02so in my head, I'm gonna not eat the mince park in it.
- 6:05I'm just gonna put away the mince park at one side, maybe not
- 6:09even if you can't believe, you know, because I'm a really good Christian
- 6:11and I'm gonna keep my fast. So I'm just gonna have the noodles in
- 6:14whatever, mushrooms and extra stuff inside the chili fan me. So when I
- 6:16got there, I'm like, out, it came smells the same, right,
- 6:20it looks the same. I'm like, Okay, it's gonna taste the
- 6:23same. I'm positive of it. And then I put the chili inside,
- 6:27I mix it up, I eat tastes horrible, one of the worst meals
- 6:30I've ever eaten in my life. I never I never felt like I never
- 6:33hated the meal so much in my life before because it was supposed to be
- 6:36my favorite thing. It was supposed to be good. But something was missing.
- 6:43The mince park was not there. So it's that same feeling that you
- 6:47know that this is the best thing for you. You know that you want
- 6:50to live a good life. You know that you want to you want to
- 6:53experience God, you want to experience life to his fullest and everything. But
- 6:57without Jesus, something is something is just missing. Amen. So that's what
- 7:01Zakias actually realized. Second thing number two, Zechias received Jesus in his home.
- 7:08So well, before we talk about this, let's look at a perspective
- 7:11on Jesus. So you rather in the verse just now that Jesus actually call
- 7:14him, right. So I'm just gonna let you guys know if you didn't,
- 7:16if you is the first, if your first time walking into Generations church
- 7:19today, I'm just gonna let you know that Jesus really loves you and Jesus
- 7:24had really has a plan for you. In this scripture, we also learned
- 7:27that before Zakias even introduced himself to Jesus, before he even said anything to
- 7:31Jesus, Jesus, you already call him. And the Bible says in Revelations
- 7:35chapter treat Yes, I remember Revelations chapt the tree. He says, Look,
- 7:40I stand at the door and knock. If you hear my voice and
- 7:43open the door, I will come in and we will share a meal together
- 7:45as friends. Jesus is always calling us to have communion with him. Jesus
- 7:51is always telling us that it's always calling us to actually communicate with him,
- 7:58to actually come together with him, because he wants to hear about your life.
- 8:01He wants to hear about your struggles. He wants to hear about your
- 8:03pain at the same time he wants to minister to it. He wants to
- 8:05hear about your plans. He wants to hear everything and us in return,
- 8:09we want to hear what God hasn't stop for us, because that's just how
- 8:13God created us to be. The next verse in efficiency that she says,
- 8:18but God is so rich in mercy because he loves us. Jesus loves us
- 8:22that much that even though we were dead in our sins, like Zachaius,
- 8:26who is a corrupt person, who's a greedy person, he gave us life
- 8:30when he raised Christ from the dead. It is only by God's grace that
- 8:33you have been saved, for he raised from the dead, raised us from
- 8:39the dead along with Christ and seated with him the heavenly realms because we are
- 8:43united with Christ Jesus. The reason why we were created is because we were
- 8:46supposed to fellowship with God all the way back in the book of Genesis.
- 8:50So this is actually God's plan for all of us. He's always knocking,
- 8:52he's always calling. But today Zachaias is a good example because Zachaius received Jesus
- 9:00in his life. Zach Chairs received Jesus at that moment when Jesus was calling.
- 9:03So we know that Jesus is always calling. It's actually up to us
- 9:07whether we want to receive that. So, as I was like meditating upon
- 9:11this as well, you're thinking about it, something quite interesting happened. And
- 9:13this is what God sort of like asked me and says that can she do
- 9:16you know that you missed out lots of opportunities for you to even experience me
- 9:20and have an encounter with me. I go like, oh really me?
- 9:24Oh you know I'm a leader in church, right, so I'm always in
- 9:26church. I mean even my wife as still complain I'm always in church.
- 9:30She's like, why in church so much? Why you always be the teens
- 9:33while always doing this and that? But just it? Do you know that
- 9:35moments? You know that moments when like the speaker or like you know,
- 9:39doing worship, you feel compelled, you feel that you know you should come
- 9:43to the altar and receive prayer, or like when someone asks you, you
- 9:46know, just not doing prayer time and someone asks you, hey, do
- 9:48you have any prayer requests? You know you have a prayer request in your
- 9:50heart, and you go like, no, I'm not going to tell this
- 9:52person because I don't want this person to judge me. So that's that's the
- 9:56thing. That's the thing for me personally, I realized I missed out a
- 10:01lot because I was afraid of what people might say. Chaus zach Chaus when
- 10:05he climbed that tree and everybody saw when he received Jesus. Everybody was looking
- 10:11at him. Everybody was saying that, you know, you're a bad person.
- 10:13Everybody was condemning him for actually doing that, but he didn't care.
- 10:18He didn't care. And I think for me, that's where God reminded me
- 10:22and says that you know, Kenji, it doesn't matter what other people think.
- 10:24If you need to be ministered too, if you need an experience with
- 10:28God, if you need to come in front. Doesn't matter. Whether you're
- 10:31a pastor, doesn't matter, whether you're a leader, doesn't matter, whether
- 10:33you are lost. Everybody needs Jesus. If you need it, if you
- 10:37want it, come forth and receive it. Doesn't matter whether somebody needs.
- 10:43Basically doesn't matter about anything what people might say, because they don't matter.
- 10:48What matters is between you and God. Zach Chaus. He understood that because
- 10:52the Bible says that he was overjoyed. He was excited to receive Jesus into
- 10:58his own life, was to have communion with God. And then back then
- 11:03when God spoke that to me, I actually actually repented. I said,
- 11:05I'm sorry, God. This is also a church for me. This is
- 11:09a church for all of us. We all need Jesus. Man Zachaius received
- 11:13Jesus into his home. Number three. Zachaias responded to what Christ compelled on
- 11:18his heart to do. So, as we read just now in the Bible,
- 11:20Zachaius for everything that he did, he had done he actually gave half.
- 11:26He actually gave half of his riches half away. Then whatever there is
- 11:31half left, he actually make it right. He actually go and give four
- 11:33times to everybody who cheated on him. Right. So basically he gave everything
- 11:37away because of that communion with Jesus, because of that constant communication with God,
- 11:43because of that whole conversation he had with God, because of that encounter
- 11:46he had with Jesus, he was compelled to do it. He is compelled
- 11:50to empty himself out or whatever that he has received puriously of Lord, those
- 11:54greed, all those wrongdoing in his life, the things that he thought he
- 11:58really wanted. He was emptying himself out of it because you are so compelled.
- 12:01Here's the cool thing, Because I asked God, I said, is
- 12:05that it is that what Christians supposed to do? Is it just because we're
- 12:07supposed to empty ourselves out? That's all? Because in the Bible that ends
- 12:13the story of the chais that's never mentioned anymo Already, all he did was
- 12:16just give up everything, and that's it. So I asked God, I
- 12:20said, what does this mean? And God said, why don't you just
- 12:22go do a little bit of research and see what happens to Zachaias. And
- 12:26I go, like, all right, cool, and I searched. You
- 12:28know what happened in Zachaeus after this incident. Later on in his life he
- 12:31became a bishop. So this is actually pretty cool. A person who is
- 12:35hated by everyone, a person who is corrupt, is now a person who
- 12:39actually gives. A person who takes is now a person who blesses. A
- 12:45person who is there to hurt his brotherns is now a person who actually blesses
- 12:50and takes care of sheep. The people of God So this is where I
- 12:54actually realize realize this interesting thought that when Zachaeus respond under to what Christ compelled
- 13:01and it's hard to do, and he did it out of obedience, he
- 13:03actually stepped into the will of God. He actually stepped into God's plan for
- 13:09him when he emptied himself out he did what Christ compelled him to do.
- 13:11At the point of time, it might look like he was giving up,
- 13:13but it was actually stepping into this this plan that God has for him,
- 13:18because ultimately God has planned for him was supposed to be a bishop. He
- 13:22emptied himself out of everything he has received in the world because God has an
- 13:26amazing plan for him. Amen this and this is actually a pretty interesting thing
- 13:30as well. You know the story of the Rich Young Ruler where we actually
- 13:33contrasts two stories. In the Rich Young Ruler, when the rich young Ruler
- 13:37actually asked Jesus and said, how do I inherit intern her life, and
- 13:41then Jesus told him and said, you need to give everything away the rich
- 13:43young reeler, she walked away because he has a lot. But Zachaeas,
- 13:46on the other hand, when when he had that encounter with Jesus, he
- 13:52willingly give everything away because of that obedience. Because of that, because of
- 13:56that willingness to surrender, Za chairs enter the will of God and she reached
- 14:01that part of his life that God wanted him to be. And also I
- 14:05also asked myself, I said, okay, kas actually became a bishop.
- 14:07That's actually pretty cool. But did he after this incident? Did he go
- 14:13back to becoming a text collector? Did he you know, did he do
- 14:16other things? No? That says no, because he experienced Jesus. And
- 14:22like we said, just now, only Jesus, only the communion with God
- 14:26will all only satisfy you in this life. And once you receive it and
- 14:30you constantly stay in it, that's where you will be satisfied. That's where
- 14:35that's where when you live your life, it's no longer just knowing about your
- 14:37faith, but it's living by faith. So is that Chao is number one?
- 14:41He actually realized that something was missing. He received Jesus into his heart
- 14:46and finally he actually responded to what Christ compelled him to do. And I
- 14:50was thinking about it and I would go like, all right, cool,
- 14:52Uh, that's great. And I asked you guy, I said, do
- 14:56you have a Do I have a story to Sha and God brought this story
- 14:58to remembrance. This is my this is my own p in the story.
- 15:00Somebody just gonna share it with you if that's okay, in my own life,
- 15:05in my own life. So back while I was dating this person,
- 15:07yeah, this person, whoever, whoever that is, I was actually working
- 15:11in a bank. So I was working in a bank. Life was good.
- 15:13I have a great bonus, a stady salary, and that bank righte
- 15:18never fires people. And even though you're the most horrible employee, they never
- 15:20find you. That's why there's a lot employees there's to stay for years.
- 15:22Right They don't do any work. They just collect bonus every year and just
- 15:26survive. So I was like, all right, life was okay at the
- 15:28time. You know, no no worries. But I go to the world.
- 15:31I'm just like sleepy all the time. Nothing nothing wrong with that.
- 15:33But I was living my life like that until that time. I realized that
- 15:37something was missing, just like zacchays. So I went to God. I
- 15:41said, hey, you know, God, something's weird. I think I
- 15:45need more out of life. I mean, thank you for all this,
- 15:48but I feel like I need more out of life. And God say,
- 15:50okay, what do you want. I say, I want to experience you.
- 15:54I've never experienced you as my provider before ever in my life, like
- 15:58tangibly, so why not? Yeah, why not take me somewhere experience you
- 16:03as my provider? And got to it. Yeah. Sure, then a
- 16:07little bit I think about months later, then got off compell in my heart
- 16:10and say that you know, you should go into digital marketing and whatsoever.
- 16:12So I'm like, all right, cool, I went there. I applied
- 16:14from many jobs, all rejected. Nobody wanted me because yeah, I have
- 16:18no experience, until someone got introduced to me and say that, hey,
- 16:22this is a job for you. So I went to that interview, right,
- 16:25only got one interview in my into marketing, only got one interview because
- 16:29everything was rejected. And then the person interviewed me said, you know what,
- 16:32Kenji, I'm gonna take you in. I'm like, all right,
- 16:33thank you, God names it. But too bad you have no experience,
- 16:37so you're gonna go back to fresh ret salary. I'm like, oh uh,
- 16:42that's crappy because I actually work already for like four or five years,
- 16:47so I actually have a cuddain like like salary already. And then it's it
- 16:49you're gonna go back down to fresh red salary, and only that you're not
- 16:52gonna get EPF as well. I'm like, oh, okay, and you're
- 16:56not gonna get bonus. Do you want a job? Sure? So,
- 17:02and I go like, you know what, I feel peace in this.
- 17:04I'm gonna take this chance. I'm gonna take. So I pray to God.
- 17:07I said, okay, God, I'm going to take this job.
- 17:10All right. So I started my job there week number one. On my
- 17:14job week number one, my boss Sunny came and said, hey, can

- 19:57I didn't go to Hong Kong, but thank you Jesus anyway. And then
- 20:00then Christmas again, I want a free pair of alphones for some lucky draw.
- 20:03In there amount of four months, I received so many great things in
- 20:07my life and I say thank you God for it. I don't feel I'm
- 20:10deserving of it, but yes, thank you God. And at the end
- 20:12of four months I talked. I thought to God, I'm like, oh,
- 20:15thank you God for giving me all these great things. But I'm still
- 20:18earning fresh cred salary. I want to I want EPF, you know,
- 20:22I want to. I want to go ahead get married with my wife.
- 20:25Am I gonna have the money to do it? And God say, hey,
- 20:27I'm not done yet, And go like, all right, not done
- 20:30yet. That's good. And I got a call lat On and then this
- 20:34guy and she called me and said, hey, you know, ken g,
- 20:37I'm gonna I need helpful part time, so this is a job for
- 20:40you. And I said, all right, cool, ken Uh. They
- 20:42asked me what's my quote? I told him the price and he said,
- 20:45can you that's not enough? I'm gonna give you double of it. I'm
- 20:49like, what, because I think you're worth it and I think I think
- 20:53that I'm gonna take up more time than this, but she know that he's
- 20:56quite chill. I didn't take up that much time, but he paid me
- 20:57double why he's supposed to be And suddenly my salary revert back to revert back
- 21:03to what I used to earn the bang. And not only that, right
- 21:04after that, I got an a call from this random person and say that,
- 21:07okay, cool, this is a job for you. And suddenly I
- 21:10earned more than what I used to earn previously. And that's actually how I
- 21:12save up my money to actually get married. And I don't feel deserving of
- 21:15this at all, but this is what I've experienced previously when I choose to
- 21:19live for life by faith. The start of it all was just to take
- 21:22a step of faith and trust God as my provider. And at the end
- 21:26of it, I received all these stories and all these testimonies that I've never
- 21:30ever thought I've ever received before in my life. I finally understood that God
- 21:33was my provider. Now, why did I actually actually share that story?
- 21:37Is that as I was preparing for this message, God asked me, He
- 21:41said, you know, Kenji, when was the last time you experienced this
- 21:44story? Stories like this? And I go like, that's been a while.
- 21:48God, It's been a while. And God says that we're not called
- 21:53to just know about faith, not just called to receive all this knowledge about
- 21:59Faith've not just called to sit down here and learn all the good things about
- 22:04God and theology and everything, but have nothing to show for it in our
- 22:07lives. Because God wants us to live by faith. God wants us to
- 22:11experience our faith. God wants us to live a life. And the only
- 22:15way we can do that is to acknowledge that although we might be coming to
- 22:18church every Saturday, every Sunday, although we might be going to every cell
- 22:22group, but in our own lives, do we commune with God? Do
- 22:26we respond to God? Do we say God, come to our life,
- 22:30come speak to us, do we tell God that we need you? And
- 22:33do we allow God to speak? And do we empty ourselves out or what
- 22:36we think is good for us? And do we actually step in to God's
- 22:40will in our lives? Amen? See, I know that God has a
- 22:44plan for each and everyone of us here today. Whether you're part of the
- 22:47next gen, whether you're part of the no the upcoming gen, whether you
- 22:52come part of the previous gen, whatever it is in your life. If
- 22:56you haven't experienced a testimony in your life for a very long time, if
- 23:00you haven't experienced God in your life for a very long time, I believe
- 23:04that today it's time for you to do that. It's a call because God's
- 23:08here and he's saying that, Hey, I want to commune. I want
- 23:12to have covenion with you. I'm a fellowship with you. Why don't you
- 23:15come and talk to me about your plans? Why don't you come and talk
- 23:19to me about all your fears? Why don't you come talk to me about
- 23:23everything you're going through? Why don't you come share with me about your victories?
- 23:27Why do not you come share with me about your you know, your
- 23:33plans, everything about yourself? And why not let me Minister to you.
