Church, as you shone up at the meeting, you're getting the assignment.
I'm preaching to you the Bible.
I'm giving you God's command.
This is your work order for today.
This is where God is sending you.
God is sending you out daily in the temple and in every house.
They cease not to teach and preach Jesus Christ, the Bible says.
You see, I'm here to give you the work order.
I'm not the head of the church.
Jesus Christ is the head of the church.
I'm not the boss here.
The owner of the company is up in heaven, as it were.
The president of the company, the CEO, he's up in heaven.
See, I can't blame you compared to a business.
Well, didn't Jesus say I must be about my father's business?
And so the CEO is up in heaven.
I'm just the foreman, that's all.
I'm the foreman, okay?
You're the journeyman, you know?
And then when you go out soul hunting
and you have a silent partner, that's your apprentice, okay?
And so it's like that.
It's going out and do it.
You say, "Why, you compared to work?"
It is work.
Sign, go!
Today in my venue.
Now let me give you some scriptures.
Revelation 22, 12, you don't have to turn there.
Turn to Ephesians 4.
While you're turning to Ephesians 4,
I'm gonna give you some other scriptures
on this subject of work.
Today in my venue.
You see, we always wanna put things off.
You say, "Well, once I get my ducks in a row financially,
"then I'm gonna go out and win souls
"and get people saved and serve God with my life
"and bring forth fruit."
Your ducks will never be in a row financially,
especially in this economy,
especially the way things are going.
But you always think, and my whole life,
there have been so many times when I always felt
like I was about to turn the corner financially.
Man, I finally got things straight.
And then, you know, something bad happens.
Some catastrophe happens.
I've never had my ducks in a row financially to this day.
Never.
I mean, just when you think, oh, I got a plan.
I'm gonna have it all straightened out.
I'm gonna be secure.
I'm gonna be moving around a lot.
It always falls apart.
But you know what?
I don't care if I die without a penny to my name,
without two nickels to rub together,
with nothing in debt, messed up.
I wanna die having one soul to cry through my life.
And it's not even gonna matter
how much money I had or didn't have.
You waste your life worrying so much
about getting your finances just right,
or getting your house just right,
or getting it decorated just right,
or getting it repaired just right.
None of that even is gonna matter someday.
You gotta, whatever your situation,
no matter what you're going through,
no matter how bad it is,
man, stop everything and get out there and serve God,
no matter what.
And someday when all your problems are gone anyway,
and your problems won't even matter to you anymore,
you'll be glad that that's what you spend your life doing,
working for God.
Not laboring for the meat which perished it.
Not laboring for gold and silver,
and laying up your treasures upon earth,
where moth and rust hath corrupt,
and where thieves break through with steel.
But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven,
where neither moth nor rust hath corrupt,
and where the government does not break through with steel.
I mean, where thieves do not break through with steel.
For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
I don't want my heart to be in this earth.
Sexure affects on things above,
not on things on the earth, the Bible says.
I don't want my heart to be at Wells Fargo.
I'm not gonna leave my heart at Bank of America.
I don't want my heart to be at Jamie Morgan Chase.
I don't want my heart to be at Washington Mutual.
I want my heart to be in God's house, in heaven.
The temple not made with hands, in heaven.
That's where I want my heart to be.
So that's where my treasure is.
And you know what my treasure is?
You know what my reward is, my glory, my hope, my crown,
the people that have wanted the Lord
that are gonna be up there.
Then we'll rejoice together.
