This sermon emphasizes the importance of taking responsibility for our actions and the impact of our prayers. It reflects on King David's repentance and the consequences of sin, highlighting the need for self-reflection and prayer. The message challenges listeners to consider their role in spreading the gospel to places where Jesus is not known, urging them to embrace martyr potential and zeal for sharing the message of Jesus despite challenges and indifference in the world.

I never spoke to this father of what are you doing with your son. Nor did I pray for him. And now I hear he is dead. Quite an untimely death. My dear people. Do you relate anything to your own negativity? And your own failure in your prayer? What did King David say? Let's look at that again. First Samuel, please. Second Samuel, sorry. Twenty four. And the seventeenth verse. These sheep, what have they done? I and my house. I let thine hand, I pray you, be against me and against my father's house. No, I have sinned. A plague had gone out amongst the people. And many had died. And King David repents. You know, you and I have got to take some responsibility. Why are there areas in this world where Jesus is not known? Why is there a Bhutan where the gospel cannot be preached? Does it mean there is no martyr potential in the fellowship? Are there not people full of zeal? I want to go to Bhutan. I like to go to tough places. You know, there are a bunch of people today. I meet them in Europe in particular. What do they say? Oh, nobody wants the gospel here. That's like you're telling me that there are no diseases here, there are no cancers here, there are no tears here. Oh, we've got fine carpets, boats for boating, we've got this, that and the other. You know, there are all kinds of facilities for that. I love, I say, look, you blind leaders. You don't have the tears. Therefore, you don't have the message. These people are trying to cover up their tears, their sighs and their groans. With a lot of glass and paint and stuff. Not all their pleasures can wipe away one tear. Not all their gold can bring their family back together. Only Jesus can do that. Only the gospel can do that. The fact is, you don't have the gospel. You don't have the spirit of prayer. And you're saying, this is all that we can do. There is such indifference. And people don't want to listen. You know, a famous Member of Parliament, a man well known in England at that time, he chaired one of my meetings. And after I had spoken, he was asked to make the closing Chairman's remarks. And he did not even get up from his chair. He whispered to the organizer, the leader, after a message like this, nothing should be spoken. And following that meeting, some of the journalists there, the newsmen had been called. They said to me, now how do you solve this problem in Britain? The common man is not interested. How do you communicate with him? The common man is not interested. How do you communicate with him?
