The main idea of this information is about the importance of looking unto Jesus as the author and finisher of our faith. We are called to behold and gaze upon Him because He is divine and knows the beginning from the end. By looking unto Him, we can receive the crown and overcome challenges. We are also encouraged to emulate His character, follow His footsteps, possess His mind, and strive for perfection. When we look unto Jesus, He will take care of us and provide for our needs. I'm not going to take much of our time. I pray that God is going to minister to each and every one of us The Bible says looking on to Jesus the author and the finisher of our faith who for the joy that was set before him Endued the cross despising the shame and set it down at the right hand of the throne of God Coming to the crown that was his. The reward for being Endured the cross and others from the text You can see a call there A call to look that is number one thing. I want us to look from others From the text we are we are all called to look We are all called to behold when we talk about look simply saying behold We are all called to look another thing And what you should look at was also divine in that particular verse What you are called to look at Was divine So there is no need of looking at other things There is no need of guessing at other things We are called to look And in that place we are meant to know look unto whom? The author Jesus the author and the finisher And the topic we need to know there why you should look were also defined the reasons Why you should look? Were also defined They gave us the person the name the identity of the person That we are to look up to talking about the author and the finisher of our faith So if I ask you to look at me the question should be who are you? Are you getting me? But the person that we are asked to look at The one we are to gaze at we are asked to behold at is what? Is Jesus the one who is the author? And the finisher the one who? wrote the book of our lives And who completed everything who knows the beginning from the ending or who knows the end rather from the beginning? That is the author and the finisher of our faith So we are called to look And what to look at was also defined and why the reason why you should look? You gaze why you should gaze on this person? Were also defined And another thing there are other things to know from this passage or from this verse We were made to know the person you are asked to look at fit challenges And do challenges and also he strived and fought for the glory He contended for the glory So if the person that you are asked to look at Did all these things to have the crown? Nothing should stop you from getting the crown If the person we are asked As a master because here are the topic look on to him If the person you are asked what we were asked to look at Strive did everything within his ability To receive the crown and above and he sat down At the right hand of the throne of who? Of god He was able to get this because he strived He fought for the glory. So every one of us is expected To do one or two things No to how the devil To succeed over his life. I pray for you You will look in the right direction And you will see the right person in the name of jesus. So to look means to sight on To gaze on to see Precede alone Precede alone When you are asked to look There is something to work to see So god has some things in store for each and every one of us And that is why I say if you are looking for shelter If you are looking for peace Here is the prince of peace. You should look at Through your prayer If you are looking for open door here is the door you should look at That which is he has the key of david. He can open any door forever And that is why the bible made it to note along this morning that Brethren Don't look at your husband. It is good to look at your husband and give a final conclusion My husband you are all handsome my wife. That is good. That is good complimentary But what we are saying Getting your breakthrough getting what you are believing also. You must look at the person that has the capacity Ability and everything to provide for you or to say to that thing you are asking of before So Brethren god is teaching And there is no way the strengthful one will forget those that are faithful to this call So god is calling us this morning brethren for me to do that thing you must look unto me I am the author and destination I am the one that started your life and i'm the one that will know the end of your life The story of your life is written by me I know where the post office. I know where the comma. I know where the ipd is I Know where you will stop Everything about me. I about you rather is programmed by me and that is god And that is why he said look unto jesus Look unto jesus We are made to know our god is counselor. Our god is faithful. Our god is a deliverer Our god is this for those things you are believing in is jehovah jireh. You must look unto him for those things If you want life to fall in place that place is for you you must look unto jesus who has the ability to do it When you have a problem who are you looking at God So when you are asked to look unto jesus There are things that everyone is expecting you to emulate about him Something that has to do with personality of christ I want to ask I want to ask this question when you look at the mirror. What do you see? You Whose image your own image So when you are looking at christ Are you hearing me your life should reflect the life of christ? Precede alone people should be able to see christ in you So what are those area we are expected to emulate Those things we are expected to follow or to do When it comes to looking unto jesus so that we can have our blessing character wise. That is number one When we talk about character is called the mental and moral quality of an individual The bible said let no man despise you but beat up example believer in word and conversation in charity In spirit in faith in purity So to every child of god You must be a good ambassador A good example of the believers first emotive chapter for us to it character wise When you look at the mirror you see your image so when you look at christ people should see the life of christ in you We are to follow christ We are to be a good example. We have it in the morning talking about cultural christianity Biblical christianity So we are to be good example in words the way we talk in the conversation Let people know this is a child of god that i'm talking to And business wise let me know this is the kind of what i am dealing with I call my business partner Some are saying it is better to go outside and look for business partners And to come into the church and get it but they call integrity is no longer here Precede along if truly we are brethren we must be brethren indeed So The example of the believers How do we look up to jesus in our In his word he says, can you follow us or make him own us also I am a god Of christ first corinthians 11 verse 1 we are to follow him. You take that order follow me To who do we're looking at we must be ready to follow him But truly we are talking we are looking at jesus as our author. We must be ready Everything you do should point us to that direction that you are really following Not just seeing it, but you must practicalize it For even after we are called because christ also suffered for us leaving us an example that we should follow his footsteps 1st peter chapter 2 verse 21 We are to follow his footsteps So we say it's not for christ that means that the christ has not fully talked in you How many of us used to say that You used to say that shout hallelujah I know my members are wonderful set of they know the life Praise be the lord you used to say if not the christ I will have I swear If not for god if not for god not christ Praise be the lord So, please let's follow him. Let's follow him if you are looking on to jesus You must be ready to follow him another point. You must possess his mind It's mine Philippians 2 verse 5. He said let this mind be in you which was also in christ jesus Let's follow him Let this might be in us the mind of christ Listen to me if you possess this mind There is no need of worrying yourself You will be at peace You will have that joy flowing in your life The next one is that be perfect Yes Matthew chapter 5 verse 14. I said i'm not going to take your time Because I still have other things to do The bible said be ye therefore perfect even as your father which is in heaven is what is perfect These are the things that are known about this christ we are talking about If everyone can only say That I am a child of god people should see the character of christ in you People should see you following christ People should see you possessing the mind of christ People should see you being perfect He said be ye therefore perfect Even as your father which is in heaven is what is perfect perfection is possible So Some will say a new man Thank god you are human For god has given us an insight from this world That i'm a perfect girl and i've created a Opportunity for you to be a perfect man So you don't have any excuse Praise see the lord Praise see the lord So if we are emulating Or we are following him or we are doing what he has called us to do all those challenges will be taken care of His eyes are not too short to deliver His eyes are not too heavy to hear us But the sense of peace our character our behaviors our sin are separated us from christ Those are the things that enrich god moving into our situation When god is saying look unto me he's assuring us That i'm going to take care of you He's assuring us a world of confidence Giving us hope You don't need to care you need to be bothered about the economy of this country I went to the market yesterday I asked for the price of cup of rice abroad foreign They said 350 naira Am I right do we have women in the house? and Our kingdom is not the kingdom of this world Our money the money we spend is not the money of this world I praise him only god raise me Holy god is coming on many things are failing when it is needed. I was sharing something with the walker this morning I said when you look around you and god help you to see Vividly you will discover the resources you need to get far in life have been well provided Am I speaking to someone It could be natural or man-made things It could be person That god has positioned around you. There is no vision without provision Am I speaking to someone over communicating It could be ordinary creating We help you to get to the top people will just admire your creativity when you create a pattern Or it could be the way you reference Or the way you appreciate Could be the only thing that you need in life to succeed and I encourage my workers Take your time to pray to know the mind of god So that you will do What we open the door for you to open for doors to be open action is expected No door we open except by supernatural power because the bible said the door opens only if the womb was But if some doors must be open or if you want doors to be open if you want breakthrough to certain for you There are things heaven is expecting you to be It could be just a little gift to someone You want to hand over something to daddy He has given you the word of god please continue to wish I didn't ask him to give the word but that is just a little bit word You know, he has received something from our excellent man leader And meeting me in canada I've never seen this kind of man before He gave me gifts that I've never thought of and this is a wonder hearing me We make me to develop a passion or Interest what we attract me to him. So whenever I hear anything about him, I will quickly submit his name Because i've heard about the good deed he was Did it to someone Do we understand something do we understand something I share with them that abraham almost Never knew that what he needs or what is needed for him for the river or the sea to party He's already provided. He's already in his hand. He will just carry the rocks Even before the miracle arrow, we never knew that what we swallow on the rocks Was what he's using to take the word this shit He never knew Of the way they go to the house of judeo It wasn't the rod of moses Please take it and take note that storm to snake. It was the rod of who? arrow So i've shared this with some of my workers. It is possible for you to even do more exploits than your leader If you are able to see and know where god wants you to operate You can perform better Are you getting me? It's not a must you must be a leader But god can still use you at that capacity and release you Am I communicating to someone? So it's always good for you to discover Where god wants you to be and maintain yourself Praise the lord and that was where Aaron And I was in a million miss it in the journey of their lives and they became a bad example There is a place for leader there is a place for you so what am I trying to say? Aaron never knew That what of what? I don't know how he got this the road Maybe he caught it from the but god transformed use that road to perform miracle in the life of the children of history It doesn't okay when they got it take an arrow to drop the rod and the arrow drop the rod the rod became a big serpent And the same serpent and the other magicians, oh, this is how you want to come up. We are more wiser We need it gives us a good advantage Okay, they did their own as all we have is to show That is why we are asked to look on to someone who has the power to talk in her hand With him he can swallow all your problems And that is why leave your body leave it bring oh, oh, oh my god in my youth my own youth is what is my Life Am I communicating to someone If you are here with me shout hallelujah Let your hallelujah swallow the hallelujah of your devil I said let it keep the hallelujah of your devil This is god is capable of only things around Is capable of making a way with his own way This man never knew of what is calling the power to the weapon It's not about That is the way we do anointing oil. It's not the oil. What matter is the power of god arrested on the oil That what makes it anointing world Oil Another man can anoint you But when the power flows through the oil that is because what? If you see the same oil because you are using it it becomes ordinary cream Once my cream finish and I didn't have to go to wear bigot cream. I quickly use it as what? Alternative Some will be smiling At that time i'm using it i'm just using cream Are you getting me? But if I begin to speak and begin to talk to god concerning that let your power rest it becomes war anointed cream Praise the lord Can I see someone smiling? So that is all I've made everything available for you all you need to do do that what god is expecting you to do I'm almost close. I am now moving to this another section May the lord help us in jesus name And that was what a woman did That people became they started shouting They started talking They started telling people come and see come and see This one has done this this one has done this what she did for us. This is how she did it I pray after this morning encounter the lord will use you to touch life Let's open our bible i'm through with the sermon for today. I'm almost to the section b of this Action are you getting me? There are things that way when we talk about looking You can look on to god in the place of prayers The place of worship, are you getting me so take note of all those things also you can also look on to god in doing something Are we together? and those things you are Every see those men Abraham look on to god By breaking his only begotten son our only son rather not begotten praise the lord It's only some the biological son. You know what I call biological son the original one The biological son praising the lord as a sacrifice and god saw that he will use uh, unending blessing Over his life And let's look at the don't don't say it's only abraham. Abraham is a man. Let's look at the woman Now there was a A jupiter a jupiter a certain disciple named tabitha, which my interpretation is called what? Media, can you please help us so that they will understand better? Act chapter 9 36 act chapter 9.3 and it came to pass in those days That she trusted and died everything about her ended Died are you getting me? But what happened? When people heard about it, there are some people that was the king that died In nigeria people started jubilee Am I right? You can still remember I didn't mention name. I don't say king and I didn't say president President. Oh, I didn't say head of state But look at what they offered to this woman when she died And when they have watched her lay her In an upper chamber, they were conducting the funeral service About rather to conduct the funeral service the What call it, uh undertakers already set with their regalia everything The people that are digging the grave are already working preparing to Put an end to the story of our life. Praise you the lord. I pray for you. You will not die young in jesus name Your aim is not agree with what i'm saying. I say you will not die young in the name of jesus Yes They brought him to the upper chamber and all the widows stood by Stood by him with him showing the coats Can you someone say coats? Garment and garment, please don't mind my version. I'm reading from another version. Okay, let me go to this They brought him into the upper chamber and all the widows stood by him with him and showing the coat and garment Which stokers made? Which he was what with them? Let's go In essence But peter put them more forth and knee down what really moved peter What what he did? Are you with me? You know that sometimes you look at people When you look at the level the result the level of their sorrow You move in compassion Not that maybe you go forth to pray for them or we tell you something makes you to pray for them I don't know if it has happened for you actually You know that maybe you go to the person lay hands on him or her and pray for him, but some the writers seen him with passion Same is our condition in that terrible state Something we just say oh may god show mercy unto this person And this is what really he asked about what the widows were saying So our ministry is just to ensure the widows are okay people without husband Are you getting me people that are what they are not getting the fullness of what they need to suffer in life So in nature of ministry in those area that please I won't allow the widows to suffer and we comfort them There is no way you cover someone and you go naked It is not possible Press it along press it along press it along and see what they changed it in let it down But with an awful knee down pray Turning to the body I said Tabitha arise And she opened evil. Evil could not stop because evil heard about what she did Evil responded there's something you do that will make God to respond to your case Press it along there is something your action God is expecting you to carry out that will cause God to respond to your case So And he came by his hands Lord God speaking. He was able to hold a dead person And was arrested Therefore we raise you up from that pit today in the name of Jesus But that will not happen until something is done And he came by his hand and raised her up as calling the same that we do and presented her Life I've met her death but God In his own way of pointing as he tried to raise Tabitha up again Here is life. I met death but i'm giving you life Just because A deed Or deeds Were announced Can someone only say that In the church, this is what you have done I know why I say church because bible make it known to us don't play with those in the household of faith He said therefore as we have the opportunity let us do good to her Especially those who are on the of the world household of faith And we quickly There are issues that you may not hear about your pastor is hearing it There are challenges You are not hearing about But you are a member of the church but pastor is being disturbed You know when I hear some issues I don't know who to share it. But thank God I have the voice There was some tension we hear Those people that are those days are affected. They can't call To me But maybe because of fear what the pastor say they return to mommy and tell her they are religious So My god grace, let me just say this my god grace we are able to we have paid the church rent for another year We have paid it This is what we are contributing as offering our time After our remittance to the national. Are you getting me? The remittance is what we use and kind of before I go to the church They usually For the area I want us to know I want us to know people are facing some challenges Not when it is okay for you alone other I don't care And they are giving me sleepless nights There are issues that I don't share with the brethren on my own in my own personal pocket I will pay The men went to national program now they didn't come to my excellent They didn't come to you But they run to me and say please we are kindly support us people want to go but they don't have money I put my hands inside my own perspective private pocket and I give it to them And it is clearly From people people There are other levies like women they gave them levy Out of maybe 50 or 70 000 the only area They only were able to pay 15 000 The moment called me pastor your women are not welcoming I think my head into my pocket I still brought out something I'm, just trying to let you know. There are some things I do. I don't even talk When we beg our church, right? To do remittance we don't even have a name again. I have to go back to bank to transfer I promise I have to balance it with his own personal money Are we getting it now to let you know? If I am praying Our financial body is still coming. Do you want me to die y'all? Do you understand what I'm trying to say We have I'm saying it because we have some brethren That are facing financial crisis They have graduated but they need money to settle their sorties And whenever I see them most especially two persons I don't want to go far but If there is nothing wrong you say apart from those things we are doing a little bit. Oh for the That is why they said pay your money Because what comes in A percentage of it goes to national The remittance The remaining I tell you is what we should look at that place If they give you the book, I gave them in price of 10,000 for one week for one month Before they could get to the middle of the month that's the price I gave to them 30,000 and finish Before that the generator is consumed For two Monday and Tuesday if we use it without light It will take us nothing less than 50,000 Am I getting it? So do things for that to live Use calculate it for another two. 15,000 will not even be enough for Sunday with the price So when we say 15,000 is around how many liters just like a bed With a long air force in jesus name i'm not here to bring those calculation But I just want you to know There are people that are in need of something I have been challenged That someone that was looking for accommodation they didn't run to him they run to mom And to someone that I can't go for our landlord. It's good to have a good relationship. I won't lie The landlord called I told the landlord, please he said for the moment let the person come and stay in this room He gave that place plenty the time in which we have strength to start paying Are you getting me? So these are the challenges the problems we carry And God is expecting of that God if God will see that Us We are the one delaying our blessings It wasn't become being announced. We need a hundred thousand seeking it Pastor is there any other need in nature? Thank you. Is there any other need? We will test what we use it Am I communicating to someone You know, i'm not good in doing this But I just want us I know people are ignorant because they don't know Of those who are well informed I think it is expected of us to do the right We are the best set of people I am pastoring I can say it again and again Triple people parish is a blessed parish is a virgin land is a blessed land because It was when I it was only when I got to this place things started unfolding Opening doors. How many of us can testify to that in this place? I got my build I married I Dedicate my children everything everything everything And some of us are also enjoying it We have been sharing our testimonies So with you there is a grand instructor. Why are you not sowing in that ground so that your seed can germinate? It's all going to be a mad thing for a man to leave his fighter ground And go somewhere a desert and begin to cast so that people can know you I need a problem that 200 is not even enough to solve it So I am appealing Not that these people call me and told me I was the one that called as a good father What is the challenge? Are you even someone? A brother from another soul from another parish called me and told me the challenges of that uh, that brother That this is the one your member is facing but I said why now i'm so close to him Why is he not sharing it with me why is she not sharing it with me because I see myself as a very open person Are you getting me so day two they are stepping up straight not to bring their burden on me Because I know that The body i'm carrying now Only god will help me President So, please brethren In that little way god has helped you Please Let me just tell you that there are some things we don't know If you load my house I can't be Comfortable when others are not comfortable You see for me sometimes it will bring right to some people Even I have some people doing it here If you are doing a shout hallelujah I know my brother. They don't want to open up. I know the president They will just package it to that person and give it to him or her I know I know and if they have done it for you, can you shout hallelujah? You see now I know what i'm saying I know They didn't tell me that this is what they are doing But I perceive it when I see my name i'm watching everyone. I am watching you with wisdom For security reasons When I see my brother I came to church with bible and i'm going with another night What kind of this transformation I sense it that someone has rendered a happy heart So please let's extend love to everyone You may want to give you may don't want to Tell the person who what you are doing or you may not I don't want him to you him or her know what you are doing. You can reach me Are you gonna be I will pass it across to the person? It truly the economy if we are in a corner and our members are supporting through some things that are very Why are we brethren? Why are we brethren? Why are we brethren Some people can come together let's buy a bag of garlic And when you buy a bag of garlic bring it to church let's share it for the member that is what to me Church you stand for A place where we can show love. I love you like that What is the meaning of I love you like that where I think that from your hand cannot go out to me? What is it What are you laughing You say it earlier you smile All the truth beyond that how do I see it in the holy spirit help me Love is beyond that It's all about sharing. It's all about giving. It's not about saying alone. You must practicalize what you are saying You see someone that is you is coming to south africa when supposed to be going to uk Why don't you look for that you have you have extra shoes at home look at the time There's someone that saw a brother and said with that pastor give this shoe to him tension Keep waving it beside me the brother And I brought this for the brother That is how we share things that's how we how we practicalize love God will help us in jesus name So brethren I call for more of your cooperation your support Let there be something in the storehouse So that we can share For those that are crying for help We have two of our brethren That are through with the program they want to go for service But they are still having financial challenges So if god is Laying it in your heart It's all about nobody forced abraham to do that wish that's What he did He allowed the spirit to minister to him and he acted and he That became an opener He became Enrolled To his greatness in life So brethren, please if god is touching you To do something No amount is all That is where we call what we can have what we call when fear falls Are you ready me? Please you can let me know One of you thank god during the christmas someone gave us a bag of rice Someone among us Gave us two bags of rice We share one We use one to cook. Am I right? Someone on his own I was thinking How are we going to cook for that time? And you know, I think the person I have to go and pick the rice. I didn't know that the big two bags of rice Will be I thought So that was what we are able to use uh for the our Thanksgiving something we had Thank god as we rented that egg That really lifted a party You know, I was thinking where do we get money because from december I started thinking how I will pay the church rent How I will pay the church rent So please brethren And it is something that someone can say.

Shall we bow down our head?
