00:03I noticed something. It has become a fad or a craze that young people don't tie their shoelaces anymore.
00:10They don't tie it properly. I never said to Johan, I said, Johan, be sure to tie your shoelaces.
00:16I'm glad this is the style of our time. Oh, really? Okay.

00:43And did you notice something that kids who grew up in church, more specifically in our church,
00:49they know how to face people. They could do public speaking because they're exposed every Sunday
00:54because they face the crowd, they face the people, and I ask them to speak.

02:57Aza, is that the one right way to pronounce your name?
03:00No, I'm not really.
03:01How do you pronounce it?
03:02Aisha.
03:03Oh, Aisha, okay, Aisha. All right, that's Asia Minor.
03:08Okay, popular in Asia.
03:12Okay, but it's Asia, okay, so you love playing the piano.
03:15Yeah.
03:16You're taking my lessons?
03:17No.
03:18You're not?
03:18Take my lessons.
03:19I encourage you, take my lessons.
03:21Hire a piano teacher.
03:23If the piano teacher doesn't do piano, tell her to bring her own piano.
03:26Okay.
03:27Okay, pass the microphone over to your right, and this beautiful lady, her name is?
03:31My name is Jewel, and I'm 15 years old, and I like to dance.
03:36Whoa!
03:38Do you know who's another dancer here, professional dancer?
03:41Kitha Florence.
03:42She was a ballet, professional ballet dancer.
03:45She performed for kings, for princes, for the president.
03:51Oh, yes, she did.
03:52Oh, yes.
03:53Beautiful person, beautiful dancer.
03:56Get some tips from Kitha Florence later on.
03:58So, can we just see them expressing themselves?
04:02The next one is, the good-looking guy, his name is?
04:05My name is Guy Namo.
04:06Yes.
04:07And I'm busy at school.
04:09Yeah.
04:10How old are you right now?
04:1314.
04:1314.
04:1414, 14, 15.
04:16He's busy at school.
04:17Yeah.
04:18Birthday.
04:19Birthday today.
04:20He's birthday today.
04:22Happy birthday.
04:23Happy birthday.
04:25Happy birthday to you.
04:28Happy birthday to you.
04:31Happy birthday, dear my love.
04:35Happy birthday to you.
04:41You turned 14 today.
04:44You turned 14 today.
04:45I remember the year was 1970.
04:48January 16.
04:49I turned 14, and just like you, I was shy, believe it or not.
04:55Yes, I used to be very shy.
04:57But the Lord says to me, you'll be a preacher.
05:00I could not believe my ears.
05:02But look at this handsome guy in here.
05:05Now that it's your birthday, I'm going to introduce you to, in practice, if you remember last time I told
05:11you about giving your tithe and your offering to the Lord.
05:14Remember, okay?
05:15Remember that?
05:16Because pretty soon you'll be having your own monies.
05:19You'll be given allowances.
05:21You'll be given, probably some of you may do some part-time job or part-time work.
05:26I want you to do what is called investing.
05:28The Bible says that we should invest not only here on earth, but also in heaven.
05:35The Bible says, lay up your treasures in heaven.
05:39How do you do that?
05:40When you give to the Lord, you lay treasures in heaven.
05:43Because you're not going to take your money to heaven.
05:46You can send them ahead of time.
05:48You can say, Lord, I've given this offering to you, and thank you for using this for your kingdom.
05:52And that is one of the best ways to send you money ahead of you.
05:56However, what I'm going to ask you to do is me in the answer.
05:59I'm going to show you something that I will show you for the very first time.
06:04When your pastor daily was born, I made a covenant to do what is called quarter every quarter.
06:12Quarter every quarter.
06:15Quartel every quarter.
06:18Quarter every quarter.
06:19So what I did was, Uncle Grace bought me an Alcantia.
06:23And every quarter since president he was born, I have been depositing one quarter every quarter.
06:30Look how heavy it is.
06:32Whoa.
06:34Try to carry it.
06:36It's heavy.
06:37Try to just for a few.
06:38Whoa.
06:39It's heavy, right?
06:40Try that.
06:41Try it.
06:42It's heavy.
06:42I don't know how much there is in there, okay?
06:46And there is a slot here to put in a quarter.
06:49And I don't know how much there is.
06:5144 times 4.
06:53Who can do that?
06:5444 times 4.
06:56$44 in here.
06:58Okay.
06:58So I've been saving this, and I go, Pastor Navy, sometime in the future, you're going to break this and
07:05donate it to a cause that helps out children.
07:10So I've been doing this quarter every quarter.
07:14It's not much.
07:15One quarter, every quarter, the beginning of each quarter.
07:18So that's it, the beginning of this month, by the way.
07:20And so I said, I'm going to save up, and I'm going to donate this to the work of the
07:26Lord.
07:26I know it's not much, but I ask you to be creative.
07:30Plan on spending for the Lord's kingdom.
07:33Get the help out in the Lord's work.
07:36Begin when you are still young.
07:38Believe me, it's so easy to give when you are wealthy and when you are strong.
07:44And believe me, it pays off.
07:46So young people, I invite you and ask you to develop this practice of giving to the Lord.
07:52Not because the church needs the money, don't you, Lord?
07:55If the church needs the money, why not?
07:56Then I encourage you to put your money where your mouth is, if you truly love the Lord.
08:04And the Lord said, where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
08:08So I'm praying that this will inspire you to give to the Lord and save up and plan on helping
08:14other people because it truly is a worthy cause.
08:16My children's presentation becomes radically different when I have young people.
08:22So I know if Jacob was here, he would take my object lesson and take it with him.
08:30So I switch gears whenever I see the mostly young people in here.
08:35You get the drip, you get the phone today.
08:37So save up.
08:38It doesn't take a lot.
08:39So give to the Lord whatever you have.
08:42So how many of you receive allowances?
08:46Whatever allowance you have, give a tenth of that to the Lord.
08:50Give it to the offering.
08:52Give it to Tito Florence or Tito Danny or Tito Phil.
08:57And believe me, you will develop that practice and God is going to bless you for that.
09:02Did you know that Pastor David, Johan is now working?
09:06Yes, he has a job.
09:08The neighbor asked him to take out the trash every Thursday and put it back again every Friday.
09:16And he is receiving a nice sum of money for that.
09:21So I told Johan, Johan, what are you going to do with the 10%?
09:24I give it to the Lord.
09:26So start when you are still young.
09:29Okay, so the future of the church is bright when you know how to do that.
09:32Pull your hands, bow your hands, close your eyes, pray with me, and say,
09:35Loving God, you have blessed us so much.
09:38Maraming salam po.
09:41Help us to respond to your word by putting our monies in the right place.
09:50Giving our time and our offerings.
09:53Help us to begin.
09:56Mientras patata.
09:57While we are young.
09:59In Jesus' name.
10:01A ver.
10:02They don't know Spanish.
10:04They don't know how to do.
10:04Mientras patata.
10:06Give them a round.
10:06Give them a round.
10:09Let's all stand and sing this beautiful day.
10:12My love is right.
10:13Go.
10:14Build it up.
10:15Build it up.
10:16Go.
10:17Grave is the Lord.
10:18After that.
10:18Right.
10:19Right.
10:19For that.
10:20Let me express your words of the Lord.
10:22Say truly, say to the Lord.
10:24Bring it to the Lord.
10:25Oh, yes.
10:27Say truly, say to the Lord.
