Sermon Summary
This sermon emphasizes the importance of seeking the stamp and work of God in our lives, rather than relying on human efforts or worldly counsel. It calls for surrendering to the sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit and allowing the seal of the resurrected Savior to be upon us. The speaker acknowledges the need for divine guidance, the counsel of the Almighty, and the conquering power of God to overcome worldly temptations and build God's kingdom instead of our own.
Sermon Transcription
I do not want any other stamp. I want the stamp of the risen Christ. The stamp of the work of God. Not the work of man. Not the device of man. Not because of the wealthy committee. Oh, let it be the work of God. The sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit. The seal of the resurrected Savior. This is my child. This is my daughter. This is my son. He is like me. He will walk with me. He will build the walls of Jerusalem. He is mine. I am his. Oh, let God's seal fall on you now. Tell him, I am such a shallow fellow. I think I will do this, I will do that. And nothing gets done really. No changes, no salt in the world around me. Oh, forgive me. Lord, teach me to build with your counsel. I do not need the counsel of Tobias and San Balas. I do not need the counsel of the Council of the Wicked. I want the word of God. I want the almighty counselor. I cannot do without the counselor. I want the spirit of the counselor. Then I will not go wrong. Give me the conqueror's mind that I might conquer the flesh, the world and the devil. Whatever the devil throws against me, money, millions, sex, pornography, vanity, temptation to build my own kingdom. Oh God, save me. I will not build my kingdom. If I build your kingdom, then you will build me a sure house. Oh loving father, we hardly know how to build your kingdom. We need the counselor, Lord. We need the everlasting father. We need the prince of peace. We need the almighty God. Oh come and guide our footsteps until the end of our days. Help us to be faithful. Hear our prayer. In Jesus' holy name, let us pray. 235 in your hymn books. I understand that the new Tamil hymn book has just arrived. Don't say goodbye to this book also. We have tried to unify
