Praise the Lord, brothers and sisters. It's so good to be able to meet
with you like this as we celebrate God's goodness to us over the last 44
years in this church. Let's turn first of all to Deuteronomy and chapter
8 and verse 2. This is Moses speaking to the Israelites just as they
came to the borders of the promised land and they were looking back over
how God preserved them for 40 years in the wilderness.

And Moses says to them, you shall remember all the way which the Lord
your God led you in the wilderness these 40 years. That's what I would
also say. Remember all the way that the Lord led you since you came to
this church.

Some of us 44 years, some of us much less, but look back with gratitude
for what God did for you. There are so many hundreds of hundreds of
churches in this world and we've often asked ourselves why did God start
another church in Bangalore 44 years ago? There must be a reason. Why
does God start different churches at different times? Why did God raise
up different movements during the Reformation or the Methodist Church or
the Salvation Army and different churches of the Brethren Assemblies,
the Pentecostal churches in the early 20th century? God raised up these
churches because the existing churches were not doing all, not preaching
all that God wanted them to preach.

Something was being left out. God's full counsel was not being
proclaimed. Particularly in the last 500 years, God's raised up
different groups of people who recovered more and more of the truth that
the apostles preached.

And if God raised up CFC 44 years ago, it's not that the other churches
failed. So many of them have done a wonderful job bringing so many
people to Christ. But maybe there was something of God's full counsel
which was not proclaimed.

And that is the reason why God raised up CFC. So when we began CFC,
there were a couple of things we emphasized. First of all, that Jesus
told his apostles to go and make disciples, not just to preach the
gospel and lead people to conversion, not just to show people the way to
heaven, to have their sins forgiven.

He did tell them in Mark 16 to go into all the world and preach the
gospel to every creature. That's evangelism. But he also told them the
second part of the Great Commission in Matthew 28 was to make disciples
of all nations and not only make disciples, but to teach them to obey
everything that I have commanded you.

Matthew 28, verse 19 and 20. Make disciples, number one. Baptize them
and then teach them to obey, observe all that I commanded.

So that's how we began our church too. 24 years ago, the first thing we
preached was discipleship, how to be a disciple. And it's very important
for us to remember that again because it's possible that some of us may
have drifted away from those truths.

Luke chapter 14, and we read in verse 26 to 33, the conditions of
discipleship. First of all, to love Jesus more than our parents,
brothers, sisters, relatives, and even brothers and sisters in the
church. Christ must be supreme in our lives.

So many people fall away. So many Christian leaders fall away because
they have not seen that true repentance means I take self out of the
throne of my heart and put Christ there. He is to be Lord.

And if I do not do that, I'm not really repentant. And that's the
tragedy with so many people who have come to what we call an easy
believism. And so we proclaim discipleship.

You have to love Jesus supremely more than everyone else on earth. And
then the second condition in Luke 14, 27, that you have to take up your
cross every day. To be a disciple means I decide to die to myself to
please God every single day.

I choose the way of death to solve the way Jesus chose. And the third is
in Luke 14, 33, to love Jesus Christ more than our own possessions. Now,
these are not things we just decide once and then that's it.

Because it's very easy to backslide for people who come to this position
and accepted these conditions and then to backslide from there and go
back. And that's happened to a number of people. And that's why we need
to examine ourselves at this time as we look back.

Were you more of a disciple some years ago than you are today? Have you
kept these conditions? Can you honestly say that Christ is supreme in
your life, that no one on earth is more important to you than Jesus
Christ? That self is not on the throne of your heart, but Christ is on
the throne of your heart. Can you honestly say that to the best of your
knowledge, you're really seeking to die to yourself every day in your
home, your office, everywhere. That's the second condition of
discipleship to take up the cross every day.

And thirdly, can you honestly say that to the best of your knowledge,
you're really trying to love Jesus more than your possessions. You can
have your possessions, you can have your house, your car, your bank
account, but Christ must be more important than all of them. None of
them must take the place of Christ in your heart.

These are the conditions of discipleship. And we spent weeks and weeks
teaching this in the early days. And we also preached from Hebrews
chapter six, saying that we must not be satisfied with laying a
foundation.

I'm trying to remind you of what we preached in the early days when we
started. Hebrews 6.1, let us press on to perfection. That which we have
in the front of our pulpit is what we preached from the beginning.

Let us not keep on laying the foundation of repentance and faith and
baptism and baptism in the Holy Spirit and the hope of Christ coming.
All that is good, but on that we must build the superstructure and
pressing on to perfection. And Jesus said, we must teach people to obey
all that he commanded.

And that could be summed up in Matthew 5, 6, and 7 in the Sermon on the
Mount. Most of what he commanded is right there. So we spent a number of
weeks in those early days studying Matthew 5, 6, and 7. And we need to
go back to that again and again and again and again, because it's very
easy to backslide from the standards that Jesus laid down there.

He told his disciples in Matthew 5 in verse 20, unless your
righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and the
Pharisees, you cannot enter the kingdom of heaven. So Jesus taught his
disciples that the quality of their righteousness is not quantity. It's
not a number of times they pray or amount of work they do or how many
souls they bring to Christ.

But the quality of their righteousness must be far superior to that of
the Pharisees. In other words, it is not done for people to see, but for
God to see, not external, but inward. So these are the things that we
taught right from the beginning.

And as we look back over the past 44 years, we think of many, many
brothers and sisters with whom it has gone exceptionally well, because
they have taken these conditions of discipleship seriously. They've
sought for the power of the Holy Spirit to obey the commands of Jesus.
See, when we seek to obey the commands of Jesus, for example, if you
read Matthew 5, 6, and 7, it's such a high standard.

And at the end of it all, it doesn't tell us, it looks as if it doesn't
tell us, Jesus doesn't tell us how we can attain this standard, but he
does. You read this very high standard of overcoming anger and not
lusting after women and always speaking the truth and never praying or
giving money to impress anyone and being free from anxiety and being
free from the love of money in Matthew chapter 6, 24, etc. And then you
come to the end of it and say, and never to judge or criticize others,
but to judge yourself.

And we say, Lord, how can we live this life? And the Lord says in
Matthew 7 and verse 7, ask and it'll be given to you. Ask for power, ask
for the power of the Holy Spirit. That is the secret.

So this very high standard that he proclaims right up to Matthew chapter
7, verse 6, at the end of it, he says, ask and it'll be given to you. Do
you see a need here? There are people who read Matthew 5, 6, and 7 and
don't seem to have a sense of need. They read it and say, yeah, it's
okay.

But a really sincere person will read it and say, Lord, I can't live up
to this standard. How do I ever get to the standard? And the Lord says,
ask and it'll be given to you. And he says, if you, being evil, Matthew
7, 11, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will
your heavenly father give good things? Or in Luke 11, 13, it says the
Holy Spirit to those who ask him.

So through the years, it's by asking that people have received. And we
used to have a lot of times of fasting and prayer in the early days,
seeking God for guidance, seeking God for the power of the Holy Spirit.
And the Lord met with many of us, and that's how our church went
forward.

You know, the first church became what it became through the fullness of
the Holy Spirit. They waited on God, they were filled with the Holy
Spirit, and they moved on. And we can say the church was born on the day
of Pentecost through the baptism of the Holy Spirit.

And I can clearly say that CFC was born also through the baptism of the
Holy Spirit. God met with Ian and me, and that's how CFC came to birth.
And many others came into that experience of being filled with the Holy
Spirit and strengthened to live this life and to have power to be
witnesses for Christ.

And we also saw through the years the importance of following in Jesus'
footsteps, that Jesus has given us an example to follow. He not only
died on the cross to forgive our sins, we saw that his whole earthly
life was given to us an example to follow. Much more than Jesus saying,
believe in me, he said, follow me.

He did say, believe in me, but more frequently, he would say to people,
follow me. And that's the word that is hardly proclaimed or taught in a
lot of Christendom. And this is what we proclaim, that Jesus' life on
earth was God's way of showing us how God wanted man to live.

And so we studied the life of Jesus right from the time he was a child,
how for God allowed his son to come to earth and to be born in such
poverty in a poor carpenter's home and to grow up there for 30 years in
obedience to imperfect earthly parents. And God showed us how we are to
follow in that way as well, to be subject to authorities that God places
over us. God placed an authority over Jesus for 30 years.

He had lived for eternity in heaven. He didn't have to obey anyone. God
brought him to a place where he had to submit to imperfect Joseph and
Mary.

And at the end of 30 years of submission like that, you read this lovely
verse in Luke chapter 2 that describes those, what the Christian world
calls the hidden 30 years. What did he do in those 30 years? We read in
Luke chapter 2 and Luke chapter 2 and verse 51, he went down to
Nazareth. This is at the age of 12, coming back from the temple and was
subject to Joseph and Mary for the next 18 years, all the way up to the
age of 30.

So submission to authority is gladly accepted by a humble person. It
required tremendous humility on Jesus' part to submit to imperfect
Joseph and Mary. And the father said at the end of it, this is my
beloved son in whom I'm well pleased.

And we saw this, and this is what we proclaimed, that sin came into the
universe because an angel rebelled against authority and salvation came
to us through Jesus Christ who submitted to authority. And I've seen
through these years, and not only in CFC Bangalore, but in many, many
other churches, our CFC churches in different parts of India and
elsewhere, other countries too. Those who have understood this principle
of humbling yourself and submitting to authority, it has gone
exceptionally well with them, exceptionally well with those brothers and
sisters who have seen that this is the way Jesus went, submitted to
authority and chosen to go that way themselves.

And those who have not been willing to do that, those who rebelled
against authority or questioned and thought they were themselves very
important and filled with pride, it has gone badly with them. So, as we
look back over the last 44 years, we must look at the examples of
people, not only here in Bangalore, but in many of the other CFC
churches with whom it has gone exceptionally well, so well that they've
grown up to become ministers of God's word, preaching God's word in the
conferences, anointed, brought up their children in a godly way, and
living under the anointing of the Holy Spirit, because they chose a way
of humility and submission the way Jesus went. We need to look back and
look around and see such examples with whom it has gone exceptionally
well.

That's what we need to look back and see. So, when we look back, look
back at such, to see such examples, and then also look back over the
past years and see people who rebelled against authority and how they
fell away from the church. There are a number of people through these 44
years who fell away, but I'm sure that they all regretted years later
when they saw how it went with them and their families when they dropped
out of CFC and decided to go in rebellion elsewhere.

The path of submission to authority is the pathway to glory, and those
who've been gripped by that, it goes exceptionally well. That's why God
has placed authority. The very first commandment he's given to children
who don't know anything about God is to obey their parents.

That's how God teaches man to begin his life. Obey your parents and
follow Jesus' example. As he grows up to submit to authorities in school
and place of work and in the church, and those have chosen that way, it
has gone exceptionally well with them, and those have not chosen that
way, it has gone exceptionally badly.

Think of people who've been in this church and who become, you know, I
think of many people in our church who came to this church very poor. In
fact, all of us were poor when we started. I remember in the early days
when we used to meet, nobody even had a scooter.

I had one because I had one in the Navy and I kept it with me, but all
the others used to come to the meeting by bus or by cycle, believe it or
not. That's absolutely true. That's how it was when we started, and we
were in need financially, and we submitted to God's laws and word, and
God prospered us.

Seek the kingdom of God first, and all these other earthly needs will be
added to you, and we've seen poor people come into the church, and it
has gone well with them spiritually, and then it went began to go well
with them financially, and then what happened? With some, they continued
to worship God and not worship money, and it has continued to go well
with them. There are brothers who prospered financially with whom it's
gone very well because they remained in humility, giving glory to God,
but then there are others I think of who came from poverty and were
blessed by coming to CLC, and they became wealthy. They got educated.

They went abroad, and they went astray from God. There are examples.
You've got to learn lessons from.

There are people also who prospered here and who went astray, and the
other thing is when people become proud, they begin to find fault. It's
very easy to find fault, to criticize this, criticize this, criticize
that, and we think of some brothers like that who are always finding
fault with something, something or the other, with some brother or in
the church, and such brothers have also dropped, fallen away, so that's
what we need to learn when we look back to the past with whom it's gone
well and with whom it's gone badly. Why did it go badly with them? Why
has it gone well with some? I made it a policy in my life for many
years, in all my Christian life almost, to look at examples of people
who fall away, not to criticize them, but to ask myself, why did they
fall away? Let me learn a lesson for myself.

Now I want to encourage you to look around and see, think of the people
who fell away from the church in the last 44 years and ask yourself why
they fell away and learn some lessons that will protect you, and then
look also at the people with whom it's gone exceptionally well in these
44 years and ask yourself why it has gone well, and you always find it's
because they chose the pathway of humility and of submission to
authority. That's a lesson to learn. So then we can think about the
future.

When we think about the future, Jesus said in Matthew 24 that the coming
days are going to be difficult for his children. There'll be a lot of
deception. Matthew 24, when they asked him, what is the sign of your
coming? Jesus said, see to it that no one misleads you.

So as we look into the future, we have to be careful that we don't get
deceived. There's so much of deception in Christendom today. It's very
easy to backslide and to give up that first love.

Paul writing to the Corinthians says, I'm afraid that the devil will
deceive you and lead you astray, just like he led Eve astray, 2nd
Corinthians 11 3, from the tree of life. Just like 2nd Corinthians 11 3,
the serpent deceived Eve and led her away from the tree of life. In the
same way, he can lead you astray from what that tree of life symbolized,
2nd Corinthians 11 3, which is simple, pure devotion to Christ.

The tree of life is a life of fervent devotion to Jesus Christ, living
by his life, not by rules and regulations and keeping all the things
that others in the church will teach and be accepted by them. No, but to
have an inner devotion to Christ. That's the tree of life.

And Paul says here, I'm afraid that the devil likely led Eve away from
that into the tree of knowledge can lead you also astray into just being
satisfied with knowledge of the truth and understanding and maybe even
able to preach it well and be accepted because you can preach it well.
And you've lost that inner devotion to Jesus Christ. One of the things
the Lord's kept on emphasizing in my own heart is to preserve that
devotion to Jesus Christ, that it should become more and more and more
and more and more.

We must love Christ more and more and more. And I want to urge you, my
brothers, as you look into the future, preserve yourself in this,
because Jesus said in the last days, because there's going to be so much
sin in the world, Matthew 24, he said in verse, Matthew 24 in verse 10,
verse 12, sorry, because sin is increased, most people's love will grow
cold. So when it says it will grow cold, it means they did have love.

It was fiery love once, it became cold. He's not talking about
unbelievers. Unbelievers don't love Jesus at all.

He's talking here about believers who were once on fire for God, full of
love for him, who gradually backslid and cooled off. Most people, that's
an amazing statement. Most believers, their love will grow cold.

As you look towards the future, what you need to beware of, make sure
that your love for Jesus remains fervent. Even if you look around in
CFC, you'll find people whose love for Christ has cooled off. Look back
over your own life.

Did you love Jesus more fervently when you first came to this church?
Has the love of money gripped you so much that your love for Christ is
gone? You spend more time with on Facebook and things like that, and you
don't have time for God's word. Your love for Christ is gone. Beware to
your brothers and sisters, Jesus warned us, the love of many will grow
cold.

If you love Christ, you'll want to hear him. Every day, you'll want to
hear him. You long for fellowship with him.

You long never to displease him in anything. So not only deception, but
the love of many will grow cold. And 2 Timothy 3 says, it's going to be
difficult in the last days because men will have a form of godliness.

2 Timothy 3 verses 1 to 5. But even though they have this form of
godliness, verse 5, they won't have the power of godliness, 2 Timothy 3,
5. And so they will still love self just like anybody in the world,
verse 2. They love money just like anybody else in the world. They're
talking about believers who apparently are good born-again believers,
but inwardly, they love themselves. They love money.

They are boastful and arrogant and gossips, verse 3. Malicious gossips.
They'll have no self-control. I've seen here in CFC, brothers, gossips.

Constantly talking about others. Sisters, gossips. Beware of such things
in the last days.

As you look towards the future, read 2 Timothy 3 verses 1 to 5 and see
the dangers we face as we look towards the future. It's going to be
difficult to be wholehearted. We want to remain fervent for the Lord
till the end.

We want to preserve this church as a pure testimony for Christ till the
end. The Lord gave up on the Jewish people because they kept the laws,
but they didn't live in devotion to him. And it's possible for the
church also to be so taken up with the form of godliness and doing all
the right things and coming to the meetings and doing everything well,
but losing that inner devotion to Christ.

You have to be extremely careful. Preserve yourself in humility,
brothers, as you look towards the future. Follow the example of Jesus
who, on the last day of his life, we read, he sat at the feet of his
disciples and watched them.

As I've said for many, many years, determine to be a person who washes
the feet of your fellow believers all your life. And so the Lord showed
me many years ago that when Jesus came to the end of his life, he was
not chairman or director of any organization. He was a washer of feet.

He was at the disciples' feet on the last day of his earthly life. So to
follow Jesus means to always seek to wash people's feet. That means to
serve them, to do dirty jobs for them, to be willing to do anything.

If you come to the CFC to volunteer to clean the toilets, have you ever
done that? Any of you? Some of you would never think of doing it. Why is
that? Why are we unwilling to do dirty jobs? Do you only like to sing in
the choir and play musical instruments and be in charge of the media and
organize the computer and the audio and the video, but never think of
cleaning the floor or cleaning the toilets? Examine yourself. Ask
yourself why.

I think if Jesus was here, he'd clean the floor and wash the toilets.
I've done it myself in the old building. I'm ready to do it today as
well.

I say that's the way my Savior went. Dear brothers and sisters, I want
to urge you, look at the example of Jesus. Don't be satisfied that
you're a member of CFC.

Say, Lord, I want to become more and more like Christ. I want to go
down. As you've often heard me say, the way the devil became the devil
was because he wanted to go up and up and up and up and up.

And to save us, Jesus came down and down and down and down all the way
to the death on the cross. So there are two spirits operating in the
world. And it's going to be more and more evident as we approach the
end.

One spirit seeking to go up and become exalted and the other seeking to
go down. So I want to encourage all of you as you look towards the
future, seek to go down, down, down, down, down. Don't compare yourself
with others.

Never compare yourself with others. The Bible says in 2 Corinthians 10
and verse 12, those who compare themselves with others are without
understanding. They are foolish.

Anytime you compare yourself with somebody else and think you're better
than them in some way, you're a fool. You're a hindrance to the body of
Christ. So let's keep these warnings that Jesus has given us, the
apostles have given us, as we look towards the future.

And we want the church to be a pure testimony right until the end. We
want Christ to be exalted at every single meeting in this church. And
the other thing we have sought to do, not only here, but in all the
churches, is to encourage younger people to come up.

The older brothers are getting older and older. And there's a need for
younger people to come and take over that ministry, like in a relay
race. A person has completed the first leg of the race and hands over
the baton to the next runner.

And I believe the time has come, as we look towards the future, for
younger people to take the baton from the older brothers and run the
race, faithfully. Very, very important. And if God can find young people
like that in their 40s, 30s, and 40s, and 50s here, then this church can
go on from string to string.

Otherwise, as we look over church history, we find so many churches that
started so well that sank into corruption because they were not good
leaders. In the mark of a good church, we read in Jeremiah, is that
there are shepherds after God's own heart. When God gives us shepherds
after his own heart, then we are in Zion.

That's what we read in Jeremiah. We've come to see that verse many, many
times. And I believe that we need shepherds after God's own heart in our
church, many of them among the younger people.

Jeremiah chapter 3, and verse 14 and 15, I will take you one from a city
and two from a family, and I'll bring you to Zion, the New Covenant
Church. And there I will give you shepherds after my own heart, who will
feed you on knowledge and understanding. Shepherds who are not
interested in your money, that's one of the things we have sought to
preserve ourselves from the beginning, to have a radical attitude
towards money, to not be in debt, not to buy things beyond what we can
afford.

I'm sorry to say there are a number of brothers in CFC who got into huge
debts because they spent more than they could afford. And that's an
absolute disgrace to the name of Jesus Christ. The Bible says, owe no
man anything.

We can borrow if there's an emergency, but when you have enough money
and you want to spend more than that because you're covetous, the grace
of God will depart from you. And it has departed from different brothers
who went into borrowing and getting into debt and not able to repay it.
Beware of that.

Be content with what you have. The Bible says, godliness with frugality,
with contentment, happiness with what God has given you is the way to
have great gain. So, that's another warning I want to give to everyone
here in C. Most of you have prospered financially and I fear for you
because that prosperity can lead you astray from God.

You can be so taken up with your wealth and the things you can get with
it and move into a different lifestyle where you don't have time for
God. Be very, very careful. People who never watched filthy movies have
started watching them.

Why is that? Money. You wouldn't do that if you didn't have money. Young
people who are blessed by God get a good job and get a laptop and then
watch pornography.

Be careful. Don't glory that you sit in the CFC. Hang your head in shame
and go before God and say, Lord, I want to repent.

I hope that there will be a spirit of repentance in all who have
backslidden in this past year and these past years since you came. Think
of the days when you first came, how zealous you were. Where were you
then and where are you today? Let's repent as we look towards the future
and say, Lord, I want to be a strength to this church.

I want to help build this church. If you were living in Noah's time,
don't you think you'd spend all your time building the ark? I would. I
spent all my energy and I would invest in building the ark and doing it
exactly like God said it should be done.

Today, Jesus says, I'm building my church. And when Jesus said in
Matthew 16 about building the church, here's something that we can pay
heed to. Matthew 16 and verse 18, he said, I will build my church and
the gates of hell will not overpower it.

And he wanted Peter to cooperate in that building of the church. But
Peter didn't understand that you've got to go the way of the cross in
order to build it. And so when Jesus spoke about his having to go to the
cross, Peter couldn't understand it.

He said in verse 22, Lord, don't, that's never going to happen to you.
God forbid that'll never happen to you. And Jesus turned around and said
to him, get behind me.

He said, you are a stumbling block to me. Who's a stumbling block? To
CFC and to the Lord. Listen to this.

Your mind is set on man's interests and not God's. Luke's Matthew 16,
23. If your mind is set on your interests and not God's in building the
church, I want to say to you in Jesus' name, you're a stumbling block
and you can become an agent of Satan without even realizing it.

Read Matthew 16, 23 carefully. Get behind me, Satan. You're a stumbling
block to me because your mind is set not on God's interests, but man's
interests.

So think of that as we look towards the future. As I said, let's learn
lessons from the past, from those who have fallen away, lessons from
those with whom it has gone well. As you look towards the future, beware
of having a form of godliness and of backsliding from where you were
when you first came to the church.

And today, having your mind set on your interests and not on God's. God
wants us to be living examples of people who do our earthly work, earn
our living, and live a comfortable living. But God's interests are
uppermost, building the church.

So may God help us as we face the future and pray that we will be ready
for the coming of Christ. Satan is going to do a lot of work, but we are
overcomers. We've seen throughout the years, Satan's always been
confounded in CFC.

He's never been able to penetrate into this church because of the
leadership of this church has preserved him in Jesus' footsteps. And we
want it to continue like that until Christ comes. We want Jesus to be
able to look at us and say, well done, good and faithful servant.

I wish that for every one of you, dear brothers and sisters, as we look
towards the future. So I want to urge you, walk the way of humility.
Look at Jesus and humble yourself always.

Avoid gossiping, avoid backbiting, fear having a form of godliness.
Don't seek the honor of men. Be free from seeking your own interests.

Don't be thankful for the money you receive and use it wisely. Don't
live beyond your means and don't be taken up with that. Put God's
interests first and God will provide all that you need and your family
needs if you put him first.

I pray that it'll go very well with all of us. May the Lord bless you
all. Amen.
