p [Music] dear Church Brothers and Sisters everyone who gather here in this place I'm greeting you with the words praise be to our lord Jesus I thank my God that our Lord he's made it this us opportunity for our Liv that I can be here with you with my family with my children visiting you I also thank you and also Pastor for an opportunity that I could that I can read the word of God with you today and my desire that we would all glorify our heavenly father I would like to speak on a subject God's plan of God's will on our life but prior to that I would like to say I was born in Ukraine as my brother Peter were born in Ukraine uh it was in a little village that is called is Gold Stream we grew up there we went to school there our father was a pastor of a church he always prayed for us today we are in church together praise be to our Lord I thank God for my brother for his family for his wonderful wife Nadia and I know that parents also prayed for that [Music] family and I'm glad to see Pastor vili used to work in God's field today in Ukraine we experience not any easy times where I live the war is going on and many people can hear and see what's going on there but they're not personally experiencing what's taking place there but I thank you you that you continue to pray for Ukraine because I know many of you came from [Music] Ukraine and I this country that we came from is dear to our hearts because there's many people that live there that still do not know Jesus Christ and God has called us that we could preach the gospel to them and I know all those events that are Tak in place right now it is God's plan I know that God is ready and he wants to change millions of people's lives I would like to turn our attention to the word of God it is written in the Old Testament it's going to be Jeremiah 29:1 for I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord plans to prosper you and not to harm you plans to give you hope and a future dear God knows our life and our future I remember with brother daviduk was visiting with the um our village where we lived and they had in a crusade there and when he was preaching he said the following words I said God has given you free Ukraine without any shed of a single drop of blood and I'm thinking to myself how many people they did not appreciate what God has gifted them for free many people are asking a question that says Lord why [Music] happening why in this wonderful country there's this war going on why those two Nations they used to get along now they are fighting with one another and put answer for this question only Lord has but what is God is speaking to [Music] us but God wants us to continue to pray and to bless this nation and maybe just two month ago I did not even think for an opportunity that I'm going to be visiting you here today but here I am standing in front of you sharing the gospel and have we just read this passage from Jeremiah that says God would like to make things for the good God would like to make us stronger God does not want to get us discouraged many people might say there is no need to go to Ukraine because there's destruction there but we need to have faith that God will have a blessing for this nation I know that God also has plans for other countries we know that were going on and taking place now in Israel we know that many families are suffering because they worry about the families and as already been mentioned earlier today sometimes we don't value or cherish what God has given us when things are well has been mentioned sometimes we forget even about the opportunity that God has gifted us this morning you know one time I heard this story about this brother that shared that was going through a depression in his life and I was at the uh train station and this man said I I was thinking to commit suicide by jumping under one of those trains and I was complaining that you know everything is so bad in my life and I um saw this man they got closer to those rail tracks the man who had no legs he was on the um in a wheelchair he stopped and he was waiting for somebody to help him that he could cross over those tracks to the next platform and he said when I saw this picture I started to cry I told myself Lord you gave me hands you gave me feet you gave me eyes you gave me ears hearing and here I am find myself being depressed and look at this man he has so many things that he's missing but yet he's not in depression sometimes we could maybe going through difficulties in our life maybe those little situations would arise in our life and mean would may be complain and say everything's so bad there is many families they go through a lot of different situations you know the husbands might be complaining about their spouses or their wives could be complaining about their husbands but we're going to look from God's perspective how everything is so has no meaning and the Lord says I would like to bless you I would like to share one story from the word of God that it describes one one uh event when one man Jacob he had uh 12 sons and one daughter he one son by the name of Joseph you all know the story very well and the situation happened when Joseph he had dream and when he shared this dream with to his brothers about those Stars about those uh I think so okay and they started to hate his brother their brother and they started to say don't you are the one who want for us to Bow before you and when opportunity came they sold him to slavery and if we think about this passage a little deeper you from the surface nothing's good in here nothing is positive here Brothers they sold their own brother but God had a plan for his life but not just only for his life but through Joseph God has saved saved his entire family from family and all the people that lived in that area when we look at first we see nothing positive about [Music] it but when God works everything turns out for the better when we take the New Testament that God has much greater plan you know this wonderful passage that it says in John 3:16 what does the word of God say that God loved the world that he gave his one and only son that whoever believes in him not Parish but have eternal life dear friends dear family what unites us is Jesus Christ we might know one another but there is brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ This Man by the name of Joseph he was able to save a certain amount of people but Jesus Christ is alive today he continues to work here in United States he works in Ukraine he works in Russia he works in any place here on Earth because God's spirit is on any place and we need to Value what God has given us this precious price been paid for all of us and maybe somebody's thinking to themselves they might be able to earn or to buy themselves the kingdom of God it's not possible you know life passes so quickly and we go one time one day we going to stand before him and my desire that we all be with the Lord in heaven and even if you're going to experience difficult moments in our life just like maybe what is going through Ukraine is going through our hope is on God he continues to work he is alive he's changing he's blessing inbe maybe somebody's going through some kind of difficulties or having family issues know that Jesus works in your life trust in him because only God is the one who can change trajectory's life you know the problem is sometimes you want things immediately for but God says wait AIT a minute he wants us to uh to to focus he wants us to trust him more and then he will be working in our lives and then we will experience and we will see blessing in our families we will see the blessings in Ukraine the country that we live in I know that God's plan is great and I believe that God will bless and many people will come to the Lord's house but we will need to pray we will need to trust him you know God had a plan for his chosen people and when he told them I will let you um I will take you away from the from the slavery from the land that you are being um persecuted from the land that you are suffering you know God said and he did so but but many people have perished in the desert because people didn't not want to trust the Lord and he did not want they did not want to wait you know there's many people in Ukraine where I live many people says why God can't he just stop the war for for this to end right now and many times we cannot answer those people but the answer is in the Lord God is alive and he works and he's Transforming Our Life you know one more passage that I like to leave with you today it is first John 5:1 and then in verse 12 we read Whoever has the son has life whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life life you know dear friends the Bible is speaking to us directly when we have this wonderful time do not put this away it's time for you to uh have this meeting and fellowship with the Lord it is a time me of your meeting with Jesus Christ but Jesus Christ he is [Music] alive he's a living God and he's present Among Us by his Holy Spirit and he wants to bless everyone and if you maybe have some kind of you know trouble that we going through in our life let's lean on him and put everything into his hands and he will change the situation and he will show his Blessing God will never make us do things he will never pull us into his kingdom he says I'm standing at the door at the door of uh of your heart and knocking Hallelujah open I'll enter praise be to the Lord I Thank my Lord for this wonderful time that I was gifted this opportunity to be in your church and I desire that God would bless your church that God would bless your families that God would bless your children that God would bless your life and I would like to invite you to a sincere prayer I have this tremendous desire that we would pray together that we would ask Lord for his blessing that God would change and transform our life and we need to be open before him we need to say Lord work in my heart do not seek to do things on your own but when we try to do things on our own we will end up in the dead and there's no way out you know when Peter was on this um this this uh troubled sea he also had Faith he seemed to be strong but when he saw the waves that are coming he started to drown but he made the right decision he says Lord save me you our Lord is speaking to all of us and he's asking us a question how much do you trust me maybe our lifebo is taking place in this troubled uh Waters and maybe water starts to fill up your your boat and we try to do things on our own we might end up drowning but when we put our hope in the Lord Jesus we will reach this Promised Land we will reach this promised land that God has given us it's a a blessed land and this blood that Jesus prayed the currency that he prayed paid for all of us it is washing our life let's praise him let's worship pray [Music] for for for foru

golden people there you know the place I was C where I was born was called like good Hospitality we had good hospitality you know I'm going to have a certain theme for the sermon for us uh you know the year is coming to an end we just have a few more months also the financial year coming first of all I really want to thank our church for the offerings that you've been giving and some of you give a lot and we bless you all even those that give a little less we bless you you know we have a lot of projects that we still wanted to do we wanted to do some [Music] uh you know we wanted to put some signs outside of our church that people would you know I really had that desire to conclude these things this year but for my to the end of my Ministry comes to an end in one week I don't have time to finish all you know let me kind of continue these projects already in the the next season you know my theme of my sermon I'll share with you in just a minute but my um once the ex president of Ukraine he said these words he said did your hands ever steal anything and my theme is can we rob ourselves and how much will it cost listen very carefully I want to start with the story in California in Silicon Valley they have a company Apple the budget of the company Apple is so great that you can take certain countries in the world put them together and they don't have as much money as app and it's an interesting story in the year 1970 in a garage two two men three young men Steve Jobs Steve wasak are ukra Roman and Roman V computer they created the first computer and Ronan always said he says I don't see a future I don't see that people will use this or need this but they wrote out their company they shares of their company and Steve wasnik was asking Ronan vain he said buy some shares of our compan he bought for $50 after 10 days he sold them and now that money today costs 72 billion can you imagine selling $500 for 72 billion and today what I want to preach I want you to understand my sermon correctly I'm just gonna share my life reading from The Book of Malachi chapter 3 verse 8 for [Music] [Music] and also we're going to read the book of 2 Corinthians chapter 9 verse listen carefully [Music] I am not preaching a tithe I'm not preaching Prosperity I am preaching to give to God give to God generously you know in the Old Testament there's certain places that today we're just going to look at [Music] them the first time it's written about the tithe in the Bible is Genesis Chapter 14 verse 18 Abraham gave a tithe to the priest melchisedek you know they can't explain about MC there's very few information but he gave him a tithe the second time is in Genesis CH 28 verse 22 the patriarch Jacob when he was sleeping he saw a dream where the angels of the Lord were coming down and going up he got up in the morning he put oil on the Rock and he said these words Lord if you bless me I will give you a tithe who did he give it to we do not know where did he give that money we don't know and the third time it's written is in Deuteronomy 14 verse 22 and it's written in everything that we gather we must set aside a tenth or there was one Pastor from Indonesia who was a missionary he was preaching he was speaking about this topic and one sister brought to church 10 onions in the New Testament it doesn't really talk about the 10th or the but from that passage that we read earlier if you could put it back on screen 2 Corinthians chapter 97 it's written there um Let each of you give what how much 10 no but each of you should give not reluctantly that you're giving money away but the last word is is [Music] cheerfully so when you give away cheerfully what you want to give as an offering it has a result in your life and now listen to the story of my life when I got married uh I received the book that's called the fourth dimension but it was written by Pastor y Cho and he was sharing how he was living very poorly he didn't have a bicycle he didn't have a chair he lived very in the church they were very very poor one sister as an offering she brought her plate and her Chopsticks to and young was teaching about a tithe and the first time I was in Korea yo was still alive he said these [Music] words I can never become a poor person because if I ask my congregation to just um give as an offering $1 right away I'll have a million dollars God has abundantly blessed again I'm reminding you I'm not preaching a tithe I'm preaching about but this word from yo I took it to my heart and I began to give a tithe [Music] the then we were gathering together in the church brother Andre you know I would bring my tithe that we didn't have it where we would bring it into the church it was a different time I was supporting two sisters one who is a widow and the other one has a few children I would consistently give a tithe and I began to tell my friends first my friend's name was Yasha I said we Jacob we need to give a tithe he didn't really want to but then he agreed so then me and Jacob we come to America we just opened up to come to America [Music] uh for two months we were working in Kmart we were just washing the FL I made $1,200 and in New York we bought video cameras for $1,000 we were bringing the cameras and the Jews were bringing the computers I didn't know that the computer cost $100,000 we bought the cameras so in the airport Jacob sells his camera to a certain man for $33 in a different country and so he goes back to Ukraine so for 15,000 he buys a car and for the rest he buys a house for $1,000 he got a car and a house and then Jacob said the Lord blesses he said he said God blesses when we how much we give that for you to deci but you must each give it says each when my kids began to grow up I would teach them the ti I would get $5 i' gather my three children together I said divide this $5 amongst you three so that was even he said Dad it doesn't divide evenly at all any way you try I said to my daughter maybe you'll divide it she said Dad whatever the boys give me I'll be happy with that I said to my other son Vali maybe you can [Music] divide he said Dad I know we'll give the sister $2 and for each of us a150 I said no that's not right if you give 50 cents away then you'll each have a150 they said oh we forgot about that I said oh that's it I'm not giving you money I was teaching to give a tithe I give the tithe myself I tithe so that as not to miss to give less and so that's why I give if you want you can give if you don't then it your one of the reasons of divorces today is finances so experts teach families um pairs how to how to work with finances you might if you earn let's say $100 10 you give to church 10 you put aside saing and you live on 80 and it helps you save money try it that way wise people they would give money they would serve God and so listen to me at for the conclusion the conclusion of my sermon my theme was can we rob ourselves and how much will it cost and so the gospel say and Jesus once said that there will be a judgment of God God will divide some on the right some on the left and he will say to them because you have fed me because you gave to me because you clothed me you are going to this side but those that didn't give those that didn't bless those that didn't close go to other side you know just try to understand this how can you explain this scripture you know some people Rob themselves they Robb themselves some won and so the ones that gave they did not lose so let's uh cheerfully God bless you know Henry Ford he gave uh 10% of all that even when he died his money was still going to a Baptist Church he was a Baptist so I invite every single one of us to give so that we would be those people that give to God listen to mect God does not need our crumpled up money he doesn't need anything he is the one that is fully complete God but what we give we give for ourselves it works for us you know there's this proverb where two bills meet each other one was a $100 bill and one was a $1 and he ask where have you been the dollar says I the one dollar says I've G around churches from one Church another but the $100 bill says I go around to Banks and now just check yourself how do you give a tenth a t for you to like crumple and very lightly give it away [Music] so what did you give I don't know what you gave but I've seen how people give they throw a check they throw a 100 they throw it just like that I again encourage you so that we were people that would cheerfully and give and be blessed and it has that blessing I have lived this in myself I am an abundantly blessed person I am very blessed in the Lord and you are all blessed because you are children of the king of kings again I remind you and thank you for your offering that you give to the church let everyone give with cheer cheerfully and give it and so you know before when when they would sew the seed the sewer he would not just throw the seed one time but he would throw it a couple of times because he did not know which seed and so the wise Solomon he says let your cast your bread on the water that it would return to you America America gives 22 billion dollar every year in offerings 22 billion you know I love my nation Ukraine but Ukraine always takes money and they continue to take money you know I really want for Ukraine to begin to give money so may God bless our Ukraine and America as well and it's only on American money that's written in God we trust the money is not cursed it is a blessing to truly love money to bow down to that is a sin but other than that it is a blessing so may God bless us we'll be having a prayer and may God put it in every one of our hearts that desire to say God I'm gonna give going to church check if you brought some money with you know just looking at myself sometimes I forget to grab money and I think I'll give it the other time you think I gave it the next time no never because the next time is already the next time so not to forget money you know in my Bible I I keep money and I always have money in my Bible so if you ever take my Bible you'll have a couple of dollars I always remember to put money here so I'd have it let us stand for [Music] prayer [Music] [Music] for [Music] [Music] for for aen please you can take your seats uh I want to remind you that on Friday we will have school we invite everyone even if you haven't been learning please come again I want to thank you for yesterday's service everyone that was helping it was so [Music] amazing you know there was a few people that came that we did not know so we thank everyone that was helping serving in this ministry I have one announcement for you uh if you want me to add you to the list I'll tell you which one for us very often we have people that come visit us pastors teachers and I let them stay at the homes of the people you know there's three families that I always call them ask that is the family of the family of and the family of Bo I always call them to receive our guest so if you want to serve with your home you know this is a blessing my family in Orlando she says I don't let one missionary go from our church not one I invite every single one to our home either to sleep or to for dinner I say I do this because to be [Music] hospitable and those missionaries those Pastors in my house I love when they pray in my home they bless my home again I say if you have the opportunity to serve please serve [Music] everything's going to pass away our hous our cars everything will pass away but whatever we send over there we will have I invite Pastor Nikolai in one week's time praise be to our Lord dear brothers and sisters it's you know I would truly like to continue this topic because there's so many testimonies you know that lesson he taught us for those five doll I remember to this day but he didn't say this he said if you divide those five dollar amongst you correctly I'll give you an extra five so even though we didn't do it correctly we only had a dollar and a half but then we had but then we had another problem is how are we gonna give a tithe when those $150 go into coupons so three of us were sitting and trying to figure out the math you know just a small testimony of my own personal the Bible tells us this example put cast your bread on the waters and it will return to [Music] you you know I remember when I was a young man I was working my first job was working in Publix security and then I was working at sec security and then I started working in the bank and I remember in my heart I had this only one time in my life did I ever look for work and I remember I wanted to thank God that he helped me find work and I decided in my heart that my first paycheck I'd give it all to God and after that every new job I got my first paycheck I'd give it all to God and even when my wife started working this was kind of like a rule we took for ourselves and you know what I want to tell you a testimony about [Music] this after that moment when I did it the first time not one time did I ever have to look for work every every work every position that I ever had they were offered to me they came up to me and they said do you want to work you know the last year I lost my job at the bank I didn't know what I would do where where would I be you know a brother calls me he said do you want to make some extra money I have some job right here you know again I wasn't looking for a job you know I know in our house we say you know about the blessing of God but how does this blessing come into our life say [Music] it doesn't have to be that we have a lot and many different things you know we just moved into our house brand new um washer and dryer you know one family told us that you know they're moving to a different house they don't need it anymore they want to give us a brand new new washer and dryer we didn't even pay one cent for this and do you know how long it worked for us already more than 10 years and now we bought some new ones but this is a blessing from God I remember I was doing remodeling in my house and I asked one brother I said can you please help me paint you know he he knows he has all the tools to paint and I can't reach it you and he bought all these all the paint all the supplies that's needed and I told him how much would it cost just tell me I'll cover I'll pay for all you know I'll never forget this he brings to me a folder in that folder has all the receipts of everything he paid for that job F and on the folder in big letters are written these words paid in full paid in full paid in full paid in full you don't have to pay anything that's how this blessing returns to us Brothers it comes that way you see your car is not breaking down maybe it's already old it's not the best but it's not breaking down you go to your work and you see that people like you you know you're bless BL it's very easy and also I I see what my father said that people hold on to themselves they don't understand that they're robbing themselves I didn't need to buy those washer and ders but they need to go to the store and pay uh one and a half thousand because they decided I'm Gonna Keep On it's just a small testimony for my own personal life you know it doesn't it's not preached and talked about the tithe in the New Testament do you know why because the tithe is a law of the Old Testament God said minimum 10% you must give but in the New Testament we don't have the limit to give whatever is in our heart that's filled we can say God I thank you you know before it was I had to but now I I want to because God has opened up my heart heart and he has blessed me and I want to give back to him may God bless you even in things like this you know allow God to work even in your finances you know it's not just our finances brothers and sisters but it's also our time to come and to serve to come into work to come into the house of God Jesus once with his disciples went on and he found they were sleeping and he said these words could you not spend with me just one [Music] hour you know you couldn't even give me one hour of your time but sometimes we might miss service we might skip the events of the church and you know spend them somewhere else so may God truly abundantly bless you
