01:22
to the Lord give it to the Lord so let’s
01:29
go deeper into this is this about giving
01:32
it to the Lord first Peter let’s let’s
01:38
just explore the context first Peter is
01:46
about Christians hope the hope of the
01:50
Christian the hope of every Christian in
01:56
first Peter in first Peter to Christ the
02:03
scene as the suffering lamb in first
02:09
Peter Christ the scene as the suffering
02:20
first Peter 2 verse 7 says and the value
02:24
is for you who have faith but it is said
02:30
for those without faith the very stone
02:36
which the builders put on one side was
02:40
made the chief stone of the building the
02:45
stone that the builders refused the
02:47
suffering lamb the only one able to
02:51
bring man back in right standing with
02:55
God the inclusion of first Peter is that
03:04
everyone who is walking with Christ is
03:09
comforted and enabled to suffer
03:13
patiently with joy and to the glory of
03:17
God in that context the fifth chapter of
03:26
first Peter is about Christian service
03:33
in view in view of the coming of the
03:37
Lord this is a Bissell these letters
03:42
were written by Peter Peter
03:51
the fifth chapter is about humility the
03:57
fifth chapter a first peter is about how
04:01
to be humble but we have to take care
04:04
how we are humble putting on our
04:10
troubles on him is a form of humility
04:17
humility to the Lord that he is better
04:21
able to do things than we are humility
04:30
is the great preserver of peace and
04:34
order in the church peace and order in
04:39
the church humility given Christ
04:51
ministers ministers of our Lord Jesus
04:54
Christ the right attitude the right
04:59
attitude towards the flock towards the
05:05
Sheep towards those who they have to
05:09
keep an order the thought behind this
05:16
all is that order and peace can only be
05:20
kept but true humility look you can be a
05:28
gang and enforce enforce in the flesh
05:32
things but God is a spirit
05:48
so Christ ministers showcase give an
05:56
example of humility of proper submission
06:00
proper submission
06:11
to their leaders in the Lord and so
06:16
these leaders in the Lord give a proper
06:21
example by showing proper submission to
06:26
the Lord you see God hates pride for
06:34
what are the three the three main areas
06:37
of sin lust of the flesh desire of the
06:42
eyes and pride of life there is an
06:47
opposition pride of life always means
06:50
that you’re looking to things in this
06:52
world to bring you joy happiness love to
06:58
bring you everything you need to fill
07:00
you so there’s always an opposition
07:06
between God and the proud between God
07:09
and pride and he was humble before God
07:18
will find grace grace for every trial
07:24
and power power to meet every assault of
07:29
the devil to withstand behold I give you
07:37
power to tread on serpents and scorpions
07:40
and over all the power of the enemy and
07:43
nothing shall by any means hurt you
07:48
humility is the team a first Peter five
08:00
humility and vigilance humility and
08:05
watching waiting for the Lord watching
08:09
waiting that you not be ensnared by the
08:12
lust by the desire or by the pride for
08:17
there’s a lot of pride in the churches
08:21
let’s say that they worship God a lot of
08:27
pride and due to that we see a lot of
08:31
people waiting hanging on in the
08:36
churches of God
08:45
first Peter 5 verse 4 says and at the
08:48
coming of the chief keeper of the sheep
08:50
you will be given the eternal crown of
08:53
glory verse 5 says and in the same way
09:04
let the younger man be ruled by the
09:07
older ones let all of you put away pride
09:11
there in his pride and make yourselves
09:14
ready to be servants for God is a hater
09:19
of pride God hates bride but he gives
09:24
grace to those who make themselves know
09:28
who humble themselves for dis cos ah
09:40
make yourselves low under the strong
09:44
hand of God so that when the time comes
09:47
you may be lifted up putting all your
09:54
troubles on him and when Peter is
09:59
talking about you may be lifted up he’s
10:01
talking about the second coming I mean
10:06
it’s not about gaining a position it’s
10:10
about being lifted up to the Lord
10:14
putting all your troubles and on him for
10:20
he takes care of you so this is
10:23
humbleness this is humility as we said
10:30
to always be aware of the presence of
10:32
the lord and to bring all your problems
10:34
before him for he knows how to deal with
10:38
them he will guide you he will order
10:41
your steps he will deliver you he will
10:44
cover you he is the head of every man
10:49
every man every man
11:01
so be serious and watch out for pride
11:05
especially for pride especially if you
11:09
are a minister and let us be honest here
11:14
all the workers the servants of the Lord
11:20
are doing one thing Jesus took disciples
11:25
and built them up and sent them out
11:28
these disciples make disciples and those
11:35
who sent out all you’re doing here is
11:38
raising up people so that they may be
11:41
able to be effective witnesses of our
11:45
Lord Jesus Christ that they may be able
11:49
to give the good news of the Lord Jesus
11:53
Christ that is the purpose for God wants
11:58
all to be saved and fate which is the
12:03
gateway to salvation for God so loved
12:08
the world that He gave His only begotten
12:10
Son so that all who believe in him who
12:12
trust in Him who have faith in Him might
12:15
not perish but have eternal life so we
12:24
have been prepared and we prepare others
12:32
to be givers of the good news of Jesus
12:36
Christ on to eternal salvation
12:46
putting all your troubles on him
12:49
repenting from trying to do things
12:51
through your wisdom repenting for trying
12:56
to do things through your power
12:58
repenting from trying to do things
13:01
through worldly things through gang
13:04
actions through oppressing people
13:08
through in ordinate control over other
13:12
people who lying stealing cheating to
13:24
strong-arming
13:32
strong arming in the church sounds crazy
13:40
right but if you think someone who is
13:46
already in need you give him a little
13:50
love and then as they make a mistake or
13:53
do something that is wrong in your eyes
13:56
you take away that love and turn it into
13:59
punishment corporal punishment
14:02
punishment of speaking down to that
14:07
person trying to bring them down where
14:11
is your humility where is your trusting
14:15
all your troubles on the Lord you’re
14:19
acting like a gang like a prison gang
14:22
that is not of the Lord the definition
14:32
of humility for all who serve all there
14:38
is not one exempt not one not even Jesus
14:43
not even God in the flesh not even a man
14:46
well God with us wasn’t exempt of
14:52
humility humility John 13 verse for
15:01
Jesus got up from the table put off his
15:05
robe and took a cloth and put it round
15:07
him John 13 verse 5 then he put water
15:11
into a basin and was washing the feet of
15:14
the disciples and drying them with the
15:18
cloth which was round him humility
15:24
humbling yourself serving those who are
15:29
under you to chance through time through
15:37
not having received the right word
15:38
through being abused to being outcast
15:43
through being bamboozled and tricked
15:51
let us read a little bit of first Peter
15:53
five because you cannot take a verse and
15:56
apply it without knowing the context you
15:59
will always be wrong I always see people
16:04
say put all your troubles in the Lord he
16:07
takes care of you now let’s be humble
16:19
and try as the Lord did to wash the feet
16:23
of those people who have troubles to
16:27
help them to pray over them to lay hands
16:31
on them so that they may overcome their
16:34
problem so that the Lord Himself might
16:39
take notice if not of their humility of
16:43
our humility and help them deliver them
16:51
heal them whatever is necessary first
16:56
Peter 5 verse 1 I who am myself one of
16:59
the rulers of the church and a witness
17:01
of the death of Christ having my part in
17:07
the coming glory sent this serious
17:10
request to the chief man among you Peter
17:13
I want to say something I’m jumping the
17:22
Spirit is telling me jump to Peter
17:24
because Paul has a certain viewpoint and
17:29
he wrote a lot of epistles peter has the
17:38
same look it’s different workings but
17:41
the same spirit what I’m trying to say
17:45
is that ball goes a lot into physical
17:49
order how things work out physically and
17:52
Paul is very militaristic very
17:59
rule oriented rule Orion is what I want
18:04
to say and we have to keep that
18:07
imbalance because Paul knowing what he
18:11
knew dealing with the people that he was
18:15
dealing with people who had not come to
18:18
the full understanding of Christ but had
18:21
some form of fate and we’re trying to
18:24
attain he laid out rules for them to
18:29
live mine yet the Lord is supreme the
18:33
infilling of the Holy Spirit is above
18:35
all rules and regulations no and
18:42
everybody knows for himself if you are
18:45
still in lust of the flesh if you’re
18:47
still in the desires of the eyes if
18:49
you’re still in the pride of life you
18:54
might need some rules in order let’s go
19:02
back to Peter because it’s important
19:04
that we balance out the things that Paul
19:10
says against the things that Peterson’s
19:15
and brings alt and bring all things or
19:18
thoughts or teachings their thoughts and
19:24
their teachings under submission to our
19:28
Lord Jesus Christ so taking your cares
19:35
to the Lord is a form of humility being
19:39
aware that he is always there and asking
19:42
him at every point what to do is a form
19:45
of humility for example for myself as
19:53
bringing this word to you daily I
19:57
started to prepare something else well
20:02
Hinda in the 15 minutes that I prepare
20:06
and I said no the the verse that the
20:11
Lord gave me today that’s
20:13
the one so I just dropped everything for
20:19
the spirit had spoken and jumped into
20:23
this verse and now we’re just doing it
20:27
and all those who have heard me once or
20:30
twice know that I’m I go by the spirit
20:35
there is little and sometimes no
20:39
preparation but it is the Lord so I love
20:43
that so the Lord instead of enforcing in
20:52
John 13 verse 4 and 5 and John 13 let’s
20:56
put it that way in that section instead
21:01
of ruling over his disciples and saying
21:05
hey come and wash my feet he says I come
21:09
and wash your feet because I have
21:13
received the grace of God in a greater
21:16
measure so I can clean your feet you who
21:23
have less of it cannot clean my feet
21:28
humility in service to God humility in
21:37
service to God putting all your troubles
21:44
on him for it is if the Lord doesn’t
21:49
wash your feet if the Lord doesn’t wash
21:55
you you are unclean Lord cover everyone
22:04
under the power of your voice with the
22:08
blood of Jesus amen wash them white as
22:15
snow first three to five verse to keep
22:21
watch over the flock of God
22:25
this is again to the servants of Christ
22:27
and everyone should be built up to be a
22:32
minister even if it is to one purpose
22:34
person even if it is only to your child
22:37
even if it is only to a relative even if
22:41
it is only to a homeless person you see
22:45
even if it is only to your partner
22:49
everyone everyone was created to be a
22:54
witness an effective witness of the good
22:59
news of Jesus Christ that brings faith
23:05
keep watch over the flock of God which
23:08
is in your care using your authority
23:12
using your authority not as forced to do
23:20
so but gladly and not for unclean profit
23:25
but with a ready mind
23:37
not as Lords first me 25 verse 3 not as
23:41
lords over god’s heritage and i think we
23:46
know what god’s heritage is right God’s
23:48
heritage are his people is his people
23:52
those who believe in him are God’s
23:54
heritage not as lords over god’s
24:01
heritage first me 25 verse 3 but making
24:05
yourselves examples to the flock ah John
24:10
34 and five g’s then say come and wash
24:14
my feet no I will show you how to do
24:19
this how to be a leader in the church by
24:27
washing the feet of others I am
24:31
astounded when i am in churches where
24:35
above a certain level of so-called
24:39
authority people do not serve they rule
24:49
but then I read my Bible and I see that
24:52
the Lord was astounded at many things
24:55
that he’s also not as lords over god’s
24:59
heritage matthew 20 25 and 26 what did
25:04
jesus say about this Matthew 20 25 but
25:07
jesus said to them you see that the
25:10
rulers of the Gentiles of the
25:12
unbelievers are lords over them and
25:16
they’re great ones have authority over
25:19
them let it not be so among you but if
25:25
anyone has a desire to become great
25:27
among you let him be your servant
25:38
examples making yourself examples to the
25:42
flock so to you my brother ji to you my
25:47
sister who are out there who say you are
25:52
a saint live by example you can
25:57
evangelize by example you can teach by
26:01
example all these things you can do by
26:09
example and when we read about the rules
26:14
that Paul is giving realize that some of
26:20
them he is giving assuming that this is
26:23
already known not as lords over the
26:29
people of God but making yourself
26:32
examples by doing things that they are
26:36
not yet able to do but all to the glory
26:40
of God not as lords over them not ruling
26:45
over them they’re not your slaves they
26:48
are not your sheep they are not your
26:53
creation so using your authority in a
27:04
Christian setting is a different thing
27:07
than using your authority in a secular
27:11
setting as soon as I see secular ways
27:19
organization of rule in a church I
27:26
raised my hands in this belief
27:46
but making yourself examples to the
27:49
flock and at the coming of the chief
27:53
keeper of the sheep because this is what
27:57
it’s all about we all do these things in
28:02
expectation on the coming of the chief
28:06
keeper of the sheep his name is Jesus
28:11
we’re all doing this expecting his
28:15
return and a coming of the chief keeper
28:22
of the sheep you will be given the
28:24
eternal crown of glory eternal crown of
28:29
glory and in the same way in the same
28:38
way as the ones who are in authority in
28:43
a church serve in humility let the
28:54
younger man be ruled by the older ones
28:59
let all of you put away pride and make
29:03
yourselves ready to be servants for God
29:06
is a hater of pride but he gives grace
29:12
to those who make themselves know God is
29:20
a hater of pride
29:30
if you’re proud of something that you do
29:32
in the flesh be aware that God is a
29:37
hater of pride but he gives his grace
29:47
his mercy his love he adds all things to
29:51
you when you are humble when you humble
29:56
yourself to him for this cause make
30:08
yourselves low under the strong hand of
30:11
God so that when the time comes you may
30:15
be lifted up you may be taken up when he
30:21
comes to reward you may be found worthy
30:24
of the reward of being lifted up putting
30:33
all your troubles on him all your
30:38
troubles filo talk to Jesus feel bad
30:43
talk to Jesus pain in my left foot talk
30:46
to Jesus can’t see too well Jesus can’t
30:54
hear Jesus and all things hungry Jesus
31:00
thirsty Jesus and no no no and I’ll say
31:07
it once now that all answers all
31:11
prophecies everything that comes from
31:14
the Lord brings peace brings peace if it
31:20
doesn’t bring peace it is not of the
31:23
Lord and I’m not saying that you will be
31:28
at peace with the world listen the Lord
31:34
was explicit about that I did not come
31:39
yeah so put all your troubles on him
31:45
yourlust your desires your pride the
31:49
more you are able to see consciously
31:52
what your troubles are and lay them
31:55
before the Lord the more he will be able
31:59
to help you because you’re opening up to
32:02
him you are starting to take away the
32:10
mud that is on you to see who is in you
32:14
for greater is He that is in you than
32:17
anyone then he that is in the world
32:25
putting all your troubles on him but
32:35

34:21
take five words out of context it is
34:23
about the story it is about what is
34:26
being said you have not because you ask
34:30
