- 0:47Speaker 1: cloud of witnesses, so great a cloud of what witnesses.
- 0:52Speaker 1: Let us lay outside every week and the scene which
- 0:55Speaker 1: God so easily beset us, and let us run with
- 0:59Speaker 1: patience the race that is set before us.
- 1:04Speaker 3: We see.
- 1:05Speaker 1: We come to see that witnesses are those who bear,
- 1:09Speaker 1: who have knowledge of the truth. They know the estate
- 1:13Speaker 1: of a man's. This cloud of weaknesses talks about everyone
- 1:18Speaker 1: that is within and around the life of.
- 1:22Speaker 3: A man of a believer.
- 1:24Speaker 1: Cloud of weaknesses, those that look up to you, and
- 1:28Speaker 1: those you look up to who can say, those that
- 1:32Speaker 1: are accountable to you, and those you are accountable to.
- 1:35Speaker 1: Now if we look at those you are accountable to.
- 1:38Speaker 1: There are times that in life, in your life, you
- 1:41Speaker 1: find you get to a crossroad, You get to places
- 1:45Speaker 1: that requires a certain level of understanding, wisdom, someone who
- 1:50Speaker 1: is experienced to take you to to make you understand.
- 1:55Speaker 1: Sometimes it comes with an auror for their aura to
- 1:58Speaker 1: rob off on you for that understanding that they have
- 2:01Speaker 1: to show, to tell to influence you. And we can
- 2:05Speaker 1: see that in the life of Jesus. For example, when
- 2:08Speaker 1: Jesus was about to what be crucified, was about to die,
- 2:14Speaker 1: he had to meet what had amount of transiguration.
- 2:17Speaker 3: Who did he meet?
- 2:18Speaker 1: He met with Moses and Elijah. Match Chapter seventeen tells
- 2:24Speaker 1: us that they appeared onto him upon the mount. That's
- 2:27Speaker 1: the amount of transgression, Moses and Elijah. He didn't say
- 2:31Speaker 1: Elijah and Moses. That's not the other by which he
- 2:35Speaker 1: was because Jesus needed to die first beforeward's going up
- 2:39Speaker 1: to heaven. So he needed the wisdom that Moses died
- 2:43Speaker 1: and his body was not found. For him to die
- 2:46Speaker 1: and his body not to be found, he needed that wisdom.
- 2:49Speaker 1: Then when needs to come for him to go up
- 2:52Speaker 1: to heaven, he needed the wisdom of Elijah the Bible
- 2:55Speaker 1: record that Elijah went up by the wild wind of
- 2:58Speaker 1: the Lord, so he needed this experience, this wisdom from
- 3:03Speaker 1: the And that's the same thing that people we are
- 3:07Speaker 1: accountable to kind of play a role in our lives. Yes,
- 3:12Speaker 1: so there are times that you may need to seek
- 3:14Speaker 1: some particular individuals, some particular submit to some gradular people
- 3:19Speaker 1: for a particular period season.
- 3:20Speaker 3: In order to derive a knowledge and.
- 3:24Speaker 1: Understanding, a wisdom necessary for your advancement, for your destination.
- 3:31Speaker 1: There comes a time where you will require direction a
- 3:36Speaker 1: certain level of weakness, and that's where the Bible says,
- 3:41Speaker 1: by two or three what witness is, the truth is established.
- 3:46Speaker 1: So whenever you seek a counsel from two different you'll
- 3:50Speaker 1: find out. You can be able to find out easily
- 3:53Speaker 1: what the spirit of God is trying to tell you
- 3:57Speaker 1: or show you. Or sometimes you may already have a
- 4:00Speaker 1: weakness in you and by the time you go to
- 4:03Speaker 1: that person you are accountable to you, then you then
- 4:06Speaker 1: realize you get a confirmation. And that's why every prophecy
- 4:10Speaker 1: prophecy is a confirmation of what a man already has
- 4:14Speaker 1: within him in his heart. Yes, many at times God
- 4:19Speaker 1: sends weaknesses to men.
- 4:21Speaker 3: Most of the times. Men have to seek weaknesses.
- 4:24Speaker 1: That's why you notice in the Bible that before the
- 4:27Speaker 1: kings make decisions, they call the counsel of elders. Elders,
- 4:33Speaker 1: they call wise men, they call people who are skillful
- 4:38Speaker 1: like That's why Daniel was what a man of great
- 4:41Speaker 1: understanding and he found with the kings was because why.
- 4:44Speaker 3: He had a skill the cancel which the king needed
- 4:49Speaker 3: every man.
- 4:49Speaker 1: For any man to survive, to succeed, he requires cancels,
- 4:54Speaker 1: those counsels. It's not just one, it's it's level. I
- 4:58Speaker 1: call it weaknesses, witnesses.
- 5:02Speaker 3: If a man.
- 5:03Speaker 1: Requires direction, he has to ask question, he has to
- 5:06Speaker 1: seek wisdom.
- 5:07Speaker 3: That's what Jesus did.
- 5:09Speaker 1: Yes, you have to go in search of Jesus has
- 5:11Speaker 1: to go to the amount of transfiguration. You have to
- 5:14Speaker 1: go in search of wisdom to get wisdom required for
- 5:18Speaker 1: your journey life that destination. So, in conclusion, the first
- 5:23Speaker 1: part of the cloud of weaknesses is that which allows
- 5:26Speaker 1: us to seek the counsel of God and know the
- 5:30Speaker 1: mind the will of God for us. For the Bible
- 5:33Speaker 1: says what the spirit bearied witnesses, that we are the
- 5:36Speaker 1: sons of God. So God operates by that principle of weakness,
- 5:41Speaker 1: and that's why he can send a man to confirm
- 5:44Speaker 1: that weakness he has given you in your heart. Or
- 5:47Speaker 1: he can send two people whom you should seek, whom
- 5:50Speaker 1: you will seek, and then you arrive the will of God.
- 5:53Speaker 1: What God God is saying through those two different unrelated people, Yeah,
- 5:58Speaker 1: that's it.
- 6:00Speaker 3: Now.
- 6:00Speaker 1: The second part is the cloud of witnesses, which has
- 6:04Speaker 1: to do with those who try to be accountable to you.
- 6:10Speaker 1: And this is where the Bible said in these two
- 6:12Speaker 1: hebrewsure service too that looking onto Jesus, the Author and
- 6:16Speaker 1: the finisher of our faith. That means in as much
- 6:19Speaker 1: as these people are trying to look on to you
- 6:22Speaker 1: and trying to look to you, you were saying, sure
- 6:25Speaker 1: that your focused you your focused on his or like
- 6:27Speaker 1: post follow me as I follow Christ. Yes, he said
- 6:31Speaker 1: what the Author and the finisher, who for the joy
- 6:33Speaker 1: that was set before him, endured de spisiition and is
- 6:38Speaker 1: set down at the right hand of the.
- 6:41Speaker 3: Truth of God.
- 6:43Speaker 1: So this is because this girl was trying to let
- 6:47Speaker 1: us understand and know the importance of following the steps
- 6:53Speaker 1: of Jesus, of following the will of God, of looking
- 6:57Speaker 1: onto Jesus continuously as people look to us being able
- 7:03Speaker 1: to take off bodies and take up responsibilities and take
- 7:08Speaker 1: up commitments that will inspire others towards the faith.
- 7:14Speaker 3: Two witnesses, Yes.
- 7:16Speaker 1: So we have responsibilities to the clouds of weaknesses, in
- 7:21Speaker 1: living a life of faith, in living a life that
- 7:26Speaker 1: is transparent, in living a life that is of God.
- 7:31Speaker 1: And just as it flows from one cloud of weakness
- 7:34Speaker 1: to another cloud of weakness, and it goes down from
- 7:37Speaker 1: generations to generations, forever, I remain the faith campaign of Christ. Remember,
- 7:46Speaker 1: be God vident, Be God vident. The Lord commands the
- 7:50Speaker 1: angels of your waders to be staid. The Lord lived
- 7:53Speaker 1: of the life of his countenance, Appointing blessed the God
- 7:57Speaker 1: for eternity.
- 7:59Speaker 2: Key brought to you by the fake campaigners of Christ,
- 8:12Speaker 2: keeping
- 8:12Speaker 3: The faith of Christ in the community of believers global
