- 0:37Speaker 1: Lord of the vineyard Isaiah chapter five seven. For the
- 0:43Speaker 1: vineyard of the Lord of Us is the house of Israel,
- 0:47Speaker 1: and the men of Judah are his delightful plants. So
- 0:50Speaker 1: he looked for justice, for judgment, and behold oppression, and
- 0:54Speaker 1: for righteousness, and behold, but behold a crime. Jeremiah chapter twelve. Ten.
- 1:01Speaker 1: Many pastors have destroyed my vineyard. They have childen my
- 1:05Speaker 1: portion underfoot. They have made my pleasant portion a dissolate wilderness.
- 1:13Speaker 1: We see that the vineyard has keepers, and these keepers
- 1:18Speaker 1: the Lord of the vineyard have set these keepers in
- 1:22Speaker 1: charge of the vineyard. In the keeping, there are consequences
- 1:26Speaker 1: that occurs when the vineyard is not kept. These consequences
- 1:32Speaker 1: opens up a loop, meaning that a keeper can lose
- 1:37Speaker 1: his place of an assignment position that the Lord of
- 1:41Speaker 1: the vineyard has given him when when the vineyard is
- 1:46Speaker 1: not productive, when the vineyard no longer meets the purposes
- 1:51Speaker 1: of God's ordinance. And one of the major reasons why
- 1:56Speaker 1: these consequences occur is because of the lack of understanding.
- 2:01Speaker 1: The Bible says in Proverbs chapter twenty four of the
- 2:03Speaker 1: s thirty, I went by the field of the sloughtful,
- 2:07Speaker 1: and by the vineyard of the man void of understanding?
- 2:13Speaker 1: By what the vineyard of the man void of understanding?
- 2:18Speaker 1: That means the keeping of the vineyard has everything to
- 2:22Speaker 1: do with a man's understanding. Yes, and that's my bribe.
- 2:26Speaker 1: Say that it was overgrown with toms. Then also there
- 2:30Speaker 1: are people who are keepers of the vineyard, but they
- 2:34Speaker 1: don't submit to the lord of the vineyard. Look. Chapter
- 2:40Speaker 1: twenty perst. Nine then began he that's Jesus to speak
- 2:43Speaker 1: to the people. This parable a certain man planted a
- 2:47Speaker 1: vineyard and let it for to husband men, and went
- 2:52Speaker 1: into a far country for a long time, and at
- 2:55Speaker 1: the season he sent a servant to the husband men.
- 2:58Speaker 1: So this scripture is trying to say that the Lord
- 3:01Speaker 1: of the vineyard had servant, had put husband men in
- 3:05Speaker 1: charge of the keeping of the vineyard. It's the same
- 3:08Speaker 1: way God did with Adam. From the beginning kept Adam.
- 3:11Speaker 1: So that's been God's concept making man the keeper of
- 3:16Speaker 1: his works. So yeah, the Bible is trying to tell
- 3:19Speaker 1: us that the Lord of the vineyard kept this husband
- 3:23Speaker 1: man and left for a certain time, and then from
- 3:26Speaker 1: time to time he sent his servant to this husband
- 3:29Speaker 1: man to bring forth their produce what they have produced.
- 3:33Speaker 1: And each time he sends the servants, they beat the
- 3:36Speaker 1: servant up three times. It happened, according to the scripture,
- 3:39Speaker 1: and the Bible says then in verse eteen, he says,
- 3:43Speaker 1: then the Lord of the vineyards asked himself, what do
- 3:46Speaker 1: I do. I will send my beloved song. It may
- 3:50Speaker 1: be that when they seem, they will reverence him when
- 3:53Speaker 1: they see the word. So he thought that the husband men,
- 3:56Speaker 1: by the time he sent his son the husband men
- 3:58Speaker 1: will have fear for his heir. And the Bible says
- 4:02Speaker 1: that when his son wins that the other men God
- 4:04Speaker 1: thats say, are this is the hell to the inheritors.
- 4:06Speaker 1: Let us kill him so that the inheritance will be us.
- 4:11Speaker 1: So we see a selfishness when it comes to the keepers.
- 4:15Speaker 1: So they are keepers who are lazy at keeping. And
- 4:18Speaker 1: they are keepers who may be diligent and keeping, but
- 4:21Speaker 1: they don't return the glory to the Lord of the vineyard.
- 4:24Speaker 1: The glory goes to them. So they are doing it
- 4:26Speaker 1: for their selfish gain. They are doing it for their
- 4:29Speaker 1: self in the guise that is for the Lord of
- 4:32Speaker 1: the vineyard. So the records how they the husband men
- 4:35Speaker 1: killed the son of the man. And the Bible says
- 4:39Speaker 1: in bessisting Jesus, saying that what therefore should the Lord
- 4:42Speaker 1: of the yard do onto them? And I say, he
- 4:44Speaker 1: shall come and destroy these husband men, and shall give
- 4:50Speaker 1: the yard to others, and give what the vineyard to others.
- 4:53Speaker 1: So the same thing that happens to the one who
- 4:56Speaker 1: is slought full, he can lose the vineyard is just
- 4:59Speaker 1: the same. And that's slowful. Reminds us of the parable
- 5:02Speaker 1: of the talent. Yeah, when Jesus talked about the one
- 5:05Speaker 1: who went to heed to hide his talent for the
- 5:09Speaker 1: fear of his master and all the rest. So we
- 5:11Speaker 1: see that it's not good to be slowful, it's not
- 5:14Speaker 1: good to be selfish. Yes, So as one that knows
- 5:19Speaker 1: that he reports to the Lord of the vineyard. At
- 5:22Speaker 1: every point in time, at every season of your life,
- 5:25Speaker 1: you must be conscious. You must recognize the vineyard God
- 5:29Speaker 1: has given you, and you must understand how to keep it.
- 5:32Speaker 1: Being intentional about the keeping of the vineyard. Yes, like
- 5:36Speaker 1: I said, even if it's one talent, even if it's
- 5:38Speaker 1: one the matter. God gives you according to your capacity.
- 5:42Speaker 1: God gives you according to that which He wants to
- 5:45Speaker 1: accomplish in a particular man's life, or maybe in particular
- 5:47Speaker 1: man's life. Be faithful. The vineyard can be just a talent. Yes, yes,
- 5:54Speaker 1: it can be just a talent for your to be
- 5:56Speaker 1: sloughed full in your hands. And that comes by an understanding.
- 5:59Speaker 1: It is that understanding that defeats the man with one
- 6:03Speaker 1: talent that when to hide his own. That's it. So,
- 6:06Speaker 1: wherever you are, in whatever there is something the vineyard
- 6:10Speaker 1: God has given you, seek the understanding that can help
- 6:13Speaker 1: you be productive or produce that vineyard to the glory
- 6:18Speaker 1: of God. Then, as a believer, also if God has
- 6:21Speaker 1: given you a vineyard, you must ensure that you are
- 6:24Speaker 1: in line with the purposes of God. That means you
- 6:28Speaker 1: are returning back to God, you are not taking the
- 6:30Speaker 1: glory for yourself. In Matter twenty, you see where God
- 6:34Speaker 1: rewarded the vineyard, the workers of the vineyard. So the
- 6:38Speaker 1: Lord of the vineyard always rewards his stewards, the pastors,
- 6:43Speaker 1: the people that keep us of the vineyard, the one
- 6:46Speaker 1: who represents him wherever they are, in every sector, in
- 6:50Speaker 1: every spell of life. He ensures that they are rewarded
- 6:54Speaker 1: when they are not thoughtful, And when do they are
- 6:57Speaker 1: not self, when they not take the glory to themselves,
- 7:00Speaker 1: when they always look for how to produce, and that
- 7:04Speaker 1: production is simply the preaching of the Gospel by their lives,
- 7:10Speaker 1: by their attitude, by their behavior, by their communication with men.
