DESCRIPTION

This sermon emphasizes the importance of living a genuine and fruitful
life before God, highlighting the significance of our works being
recorded by the Lord. It warns against being lukewarm in faith and the
dangers of appearing alive but lacking true spiritual vitality. The
message challenges individuals to seek God's guidance and inspiration
rather than relying on professionalism or routine in their spiritual
endeavors.

And what is that record? Alright, it is recorded that in this year, 08,
their retreat is taking place on this particular day. And you are
sitting in that retreat. And your thoughts are being recorded.

And your whole life's record is before the Lord. And all that you will,
your response, the determination of your heart to amend your way of
life, everything is recorded. And the faithful and true witness says,
yes, I have your record right here.

You know, many people spend all their strength and effort on putting out
a false image. And you know, when there is an investigation made, they
are so devious that in a court of law, many corrupt people are hard to
convict. So many of them get caught free after a whole lot of
investigation.

But the Bible says, it is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the
living God. Where all your record is plain. Now, my dear friends, what
are these works like? I know your works that you are neither cold nor
hot.

You know, some people are just existing. A paralyzed man who can hardly
move is also alive. He may be bedridden for twenty years.

But you cannot say he is dead. So sometimes, after a fellowship becomes
a little big and great or grand, you know, there comes a stage when you
can't say it is alive, full of life, full of fruit. Nor can you say it
is dead.

Now, when I see people like that, when I don't see real progress, and
you know, there is a thing called professionalism. Well, you know, you
can get very professional as a preacher. One of my good friends, he used
to sometimes accompany me to my meetings in England.

And the whole afternoon, I would pray. And I would not even go down to
the supper table. And what God would give, I would give the people.

He would say, normally we preachers here have a nice black little
notebook. And we turn to some page, select a sermon, and preach. But, no
one ever knows what you are going to preach.

Another man said, that in Ireland, in that region which is supposed to
be the most evangelical region in the world, here, when a man gives out
his text, all the people know what he is going to say. But, nobody knows
what you are likely to say. I can only say this.

Every congregation is different. And every congregation is composed of
different people. Their secrets can be very different.

So, if I am going to be professional, and just do some duty, I would be
a very unfaithful preacher. I do not know. There are many speakers and
preachers and others here.

I do not know how much time you spend or wait on God for what He wants
you to say. So, when a fellowship begins to work extensively,
