So please we need your prayers. Your Bible please this morning in the book of Psalm 91. Psalm 91 verses number 1 to 11. Open your Bible there. Please share your Bible. We're happy we have a few visitors this morning. In Psalm 91 verse number 1 up to verse 11. He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge, and my fortress, my God, in Him will I trust. Surely He shall deliver thee from the snare of the faller, and from the noise and pestilence. He shall cover thee with His feathers, And under his wings shalt thou trust, his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. And thou shalt not be afraid of the terror by night, nor for the arrow that flyeth by day, nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness, nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand, but it shall not come nigh thee. Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked. Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most high thy habitation, there shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. For he shall give his angels charge over thee to keep thee. I like that. to keep thee in all thy ways. Our Heavenly Father, we praise you. We thank you for the Word of God that never stops supplying us with strength, the divine strength that flows out of this book, the Bible. Today, help us, dear Father, to open our ears, open our hearts, and just simply let the Holy Spirit of God work bring into our lives into our hearts the blessing of the word of God in Jesus name we pray for souls to be saved amen and amen our wonderful experience with God our wonderful experience with God this morning we want to look at our personal experience with God how is your a personal experience with God. I like verse two. It says, I notice the personal pronouns, I, my, it is so personal as he relates, David relates his experience with God. He wants us to feel it. He wants us to see that it is a something that happens, you know, personally in his own life. In verse two, I will say of the Lord, He is my, he says, refuse. And then he is my fortress. And then he says, my God in him will I trust. I like that. I wish I could hear David personally today relating his own experience with the Lord. Through all the battles he went through and be able to speak to us with these words. In verse 2 it says, I will say of the Lord, this is my testimony as far as God is concerned. I will say of the Lord, he is my refuge, my fortress, my God, and in him will I trust. So David says he is my God. He is my God. Here, David laid down the great truth in general that all those who live a life of communion with God are constantly safe under his protection and may live with a peace of mind at all times. So two things about the true condition of the child of God here. Number one, he dwells or he lives in the secret place of the Most High. And the meaning is home with God. In Psalm 27 verse number 5, the Bible says, for in 27 verse 5 of the Psalm, for in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion, in the secret of his tabernacle he shall hide me. So that's it. Number one, they dwell in safety. They are safe with God. They also abide under the shadow of the Almighty. What does it mean? It means He shelters them. They live under God's protection. In Psalm 91 verse number two, I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge. and my fortress, my God, my God. Thank the Lord we have a wonderful, great God. There's also a wonderful experience of David that he relates to us in Psalm 23. This is a personal experience of David. We are familiar with this. The Lord is mine, he says, shepherd. I shall not want. He made me to lie down in green pastures. He leaded me beside the still waters. He restored my soul, he leaded me in the path of righteousness for his namesake. Yeah, he says, though I walk to the valley of the shadow of death, I, he says, will fear no evil. Why? Because you are with me. Thou art with me. Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies. Thou anointest my hand with oil, and my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever. The Lord is my shepherd. Amen. Thank God. David shows us his personal relationship with God. He did not say the Lord is a shepherd. He did not say the Lord is our shepherd. He did not say the Lord is your shepherd. Instead, David tells us that he has a personal experience, personal relationship with the great shepherd, the Lord Jesus Christ. Are you saved this morning? How can we find relationship with God? How can we connect ourselves with God? How can I have that relationship, Pastor Ingay? The Bible says in John verse 1, in chapter 1 verse number 12, but as many as received him, meaning the Lord Jesus Christ. If you receive Christ, if you put your trust in him, if you trust in his work on Calvary, the Bible says he that believeth on the Son, but as many as received him, to them gave he power to become or authority to become the sons of God. We want us to look back in the past history of God's people. And we want to look at few people who have said, my God. From their own lips, they said, my God. Like David of old, he said, he's my God, my refuge, my fortress. My God. They said that to express their faith and their personal relationship with God. I hope we can say he is my God because we know we have a living relationship with him. We know we have accepted Jesus. We know we are saved. Open your Bible please in the book of Ruth chapter one in the Old Testament. Ruth judges and then Ruth book of Ruth chapter 1 look at verse 1 look at verse number 12 to verse number 16 Ruth 1 verses 12 to 16 and it says there turn again my daughters to your way for I am too old to have an husband that I if I say I have hope And if I should have a husband also tonight, and should also bear sons, would you tarry for them till they are grown up?" And she said, you can go home. And she was going back to Bethlehem. Who was this woman in our story? She was Naomi. She lost her husband while they live in Moab. They were not supposed to leave the house of bread. They were not supposed to turn their backs on God because whatever happens, somehow God will supply their needs. But they move into a far country, the country of Moab. And as a result, to make the story short, Naomi's husband died, Elimelech. And then her two sons also died. The story is told in verse 1. It came to pass in those days when the judges ruled that there was a man of famine in the land and a certain man of Bethlehem, Judah, went to sojourn into the country of Moab, he and his wife and his two sons. And the name of the man was Elimelech. The name of the man was Elimelech. And then the sons were named Malon and Chilian. So they moved into Moa. And after 10 years, they heard that God has visited the people, has blessed their hometown. And she said, I'm going home. And so, unhittable, nasa sa gawas yung balay. On his way back home, mi ubantong duha nya ka, daughter. daughter-in-laws. She's Ruth and she's Orpah. And then, she could not know what she had in mind. She has been in a box-lidden life as far as faith is concerned. And she knew that there will be struggle if these two ladies will go with her. And she said, And after telling them that, in verse number 14, and they lifted up their voice and wept again. The other one, Orpal, kissed her mother-in-law, and Ruth stayed, brave unto her. And she said, Behold, thy sister is gone back to her people and unto her gods. Return thou after thy sister-in-law. And you know what she said in verse number 16. Ruth said, please don't tell me, entreat me not to leave thee or to return from following you. Entreat me not to leave thee or to return from following after thee. For whether thou goest, I will go. Can you imagine? Whether thou goest, I will go. And where thou lodgest, I will lodge. Thy people shall be my people. Where thou lodgest, I will lodge. And then I have determined that your people Israel, the Jews will be my people. And the most important thing she said here, your God be my God. Can you imagine? how wonderful a genuine conversion can produce in our lives. My, your God shall be my God. And I have decided to follow the Lord, no turning back. And if Orpah decided to, if she decides to go home, to go back, I will stay. I will stay. And so my, because her profession of faith, was real. He said, I will go. I will follow you. He said, your people will be my people. You're God. Also be my God. This is the type of commitment the truth made. And what He made be our commitment to as we follow the Lord Jesus Christ. Our commitment should be without limitations. Our commitment to Jesus Christ must be complete. It must be absolute. It should be final as far as God is concerned. In the book of 1 Thessalonians chapter 1, look at verse number 5, please, in your Bible. 1 Thessalonians chapter 5. Share your Bible. If you find someone who needs a Bible, 1 Thessalonians chapter 1, look at verse number 5. This happens to the Thessalonians. You know what Paul did? He went to this city and preached Christ. The Bible says some of them believed and some of them rejected the word of God. But this is the testimony in verse number five, where our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance, as you know what manner of men we were among you for your sake. And he became followers of us and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction with joy of the Holy Ghost. And he became in samples to us. And then verse 8, from you sounded out the word of the Lord. In verse number 9, for truly for they themselves showed us what manner of entering in we hadn't to you. and look at this how he turned to God from idols to serve the living and through God and to wait for his son from heaven and to wait for his son from heaven and then you look in the book of John chapter 6 look at verse 66 please John chapter 6 And verse number 66. This is the time that the multitude deserted the Lord. They left Jesus Christ. And John chapter 6 verse number 36. From that time many of his disciples went back and walked no more with him. Then said Jesus unto twelve, Will you also go away? What a question. Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? Thou hast the words of eternal life, and we believe and are sure that Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. We have no other choice, Lord. Our decision is final. Our commitment is without conditions. Just follow the Lord. And I can still see old Ruth saying to her mother-in-law, Naomi, please do not tell me to go home. Please do not tell me to go home to my God. The old God that we used to worship, the false God. Because she said, your God will be my God. That is a commitment. She made a commitment in Galatians 2 verse number 20. Paul made a commitment. In Galatians chapter 2 verse number 20, I am crucified with Christ, nevertheless I live. Yet not I, but Christ liveth in me. And the life which I now live in the flesh, the present life that I have right now, I have decided to live it for Jesus. And said, but Christ liveth in me, and the life which I now live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the Son of God who loved me and gave himself for me. I have decided to follow Jesus, no turning back. No turning back. I can imagine Ruth, and people were listening to her. And I can imagine while the three of them were having this conversation. And I can imagine some relatives of Ruth and relatives of Orpah were there also. They were listening, they were watching what was going on between the three ladies. They saw that Orpah went home, went back. They also heard the declaration of Ruth, said, I will go, please do not tell me no more prayers. I will go. I will lodge, your people will be my people and your God will be my God. I can imagine as I close my eyes yesterday preparing for the message. I can imagine when Jesus Christ was crucified in the cross at Calvary. Two thieves were hanging with him. both left and right side. And at first two of them were making joke, making fun of Jesus. They made, you know, they ridiculed him. And they, both of them, but all of a sudden something happened to the other one. And then you know what he said? Lord, remember me. Lord, this is the first time he ever met the Lord. He had never seen a copy of the Word of God. He had never seen a missionary. He had never heard a preacher. But most likely to the prayer and the spirit of Jesus Christ, this man was convinced that Jesus really is the Son of God, that he is the King of kings and Lord of lords. Why? Because the Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. Meaning Jesus Christ was king. And the words he uses is, Lord, you are God. God manifested in the flesh. God was made flesh to come and to save my soul, to die on my stead. He said, Lord, he says, you are the God of my life. He said, I am declaring publicly, as Giuseppe said during the crucifixion of Christ, there must have been three million people watching in the city of Jerusalem that night during the Passover. I mean, there are thousands and thousands of people and they were lifted up, lifted enough to give a testimony to the others who were continually making fun of Jesus Christ. But here's a man who declared his faith, said, you know, Lord, you are my God. You are my Lord from now on and thank God Jesus Christ did not fail him. Thank God when you come to Jesus Christ as a sinner. Thank God when you lift your voice to him, when you come to him humbly, when you come to him repenting of your sins, when you come to him asking for his mercy, Jesus Christ says, him that cometh to me, I will in a wise cast out. Come unto me, he says, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. I say, Mom Ruth, before you leave, She said, I'm going with my mother-in-law. I do not know what the future lies ahead for me there when we arrive in that place called Bethlehem. I have never seen or met anyone there. The only thing I know is that Bethlehem is the house of bread. And they worship the true God, Jehovah God. I'm going there to be one of His people. I said, Ma'am Ruth, please excuse me, please excuse me. And uh, I said, Ma'am Ruth, please give me a chance. Just give me a minute of your time. A second of your time. She said, what do you mean? And I shake hands with you, Ma'am. I said, congratulations. Before you leave, I tell you congratulations. Because you have made the wisest choice. anyone can ever make in this life. You have made the greatest decision that anyone can make, and that is to follow Jesus. When you serve the Lord Jesus Christ, you will never regret. When you serve the Lord Jesus Christ, when you choose to be with Him, you know what Jesus Christ told the man, the thief on the cross, right now, today, today thou shalt be with me. in paradise. It was announced in heaven that the glory of heaven, the creator of angels and the universe, after leaving his throne, setting aside his throne for 33 and a half years, is now coming back, is now coming back, occupying his throne. There must have been great joy in heaven when the angels announced the coming of the Son of God. And they said, now please watch, so that we can prepare him to give him a grand entrance back to heaven. So now, he will receive the angel of the Lord. When Jesus Christ arrives, So that we can give all our adoration and worship welcoming our Lord here back. Now, we miss him for 32 and a half years. He said, Angel, Our Lord is back. He is once again back. On His throne. He let, He set it aside. And all the prerogatives of deity. In Philippians chapter 2. He said, angel please let us know. I said, yes, yes, na'a na'a na'a na'a na'a na'a na'a na'a na'a na'a na'a na'a na'a na'a na'a na'a na'a na'a na'a na'a na'a na'a na'a na'a na'a na'a na'a na'a na'a na'a na'a na'a na'a na'a na'a na'a na'a na'a na'a na'a na'a na'a na'a na'a na'a na'a na'a na'a na'a na'a na'a na'a na'a na'a na'a na'a na'a na'a na'a na'a na'a na'a na'a na'a na'a na'a na'a na'a na'a na'a na'a na'a na I'm saying to the angel, he has someone with him right now. He said, he's not alone. There is somebody with him. He said, does he look like a general? A prime minister? And so, didn't George Busey, Barack Obama, bring the cross? He said, no, no. No, no. He said, of course, I'll bring it. The Lord Jesus Christ brought the cross. What a privilege. Not a king, not a senator, not another ambassador, not a president, but the man who hung with him on the cross. Thou shalt be with me in paradise. Thank God, when you make a choice to be with Jesus, when you make a choice to follow Jesus, when you make that greatest choice that man can ever make to have Jesus Christ into your life, you will never regret. You will never regret. In Genesis 28, please, in your Bible, verse 16, Genesis another man who had said, my God shall be my God. Genesis 28, open your Bible there, please. Let us look at verse number 16. And this story is told about Jacob. You know, he had wronged his twin brother, Esau. And so to avoid being killed by his brother, the mother, Rebekah, could probably sense a bad intention, a young brother he saw. He couldn't feel it. He said, son, I suggest you go to your Uncle Levan, my brother. Go back there. And this is what he said in verse number, Verse number 8, Esau seeing that the daughters, it says there in verse 10, Jacob went out from Beersheba and went toward Haran. And so on his way, and then he, that day probably, that is probably 100 miles or more. He baptized Jacob for the first time in his wilderness. His first time to be away from home. His first time I can imagine the fear of Jacob. The mixed emotions that he felt that night. Jacob went out to Beersheba and went toward Haran and lifted up a certain place, studied there all night. And then you know what his testimony was? In verse 16, Jacob awake out of sleep and he said, surely the Lord is in this place. And I knew it not. The Lord revealed himself to Jacob. And then verse 17, he was appraised and how dreadful is this place? And then early in the morning, Jacob rose early in the morning and took the stone that he had put for his pillows and set up a pillar and poured oil upon it and he called the name of that place Bethel but the name of that city was called Luz at first and Jacob bowed about he made a decision here Jacob bowed about saying if God will be with me and will keep me in this way that I go I will give him bread and give me bread to eat and raiment to put on. So shall I come again to my father's house as based on his previous promise in peace. Then the Lord be my what? God. He said that to affirm what should I believe that God will take care of me. I do not know what lies ahead of me. You know, Rebecca said, just a few days. What Rebecca expected to be a few days, took 20 long years. 20 years. And so, look at this. Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put for his pillows, set it up for a pillar, and poured oil upon it. By the way, The pouring out of oil was symbolic of pouring one's life out in devotion to God. He just simply made a vow to the Lord, a covenant with God, you know, promising that he will serve the Lord as my God, as my God. I remember Paul, The apostle Paul in Philippians 2 verse 17, Paul had this spiritual truth in mind when he said, I believe Paul could remember the sacrifices in the Old Testament and pouring those oil in the Old Testament sacrifices. I believe Paul remembered what Jacob did this night. And he, and you know what he said in Philippians 2 verse 17, Yeah, if I be opened upon sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy and rejoice with you all. Jacob dedicated himself to the Lord and claimed the promise that God has made to him and by the way the word if in verse 20 can also be read sins Since the Lord, Jacob was not making bargain or condition with God, he was simply affirming his faith in God. Since God has made the promise to care of me, and since he had promised to be with me, to bring me back home safely, then Jacob would affirm his faith in God and would seek to worship and honor God. So that I came again, I come again to my father's house in peace. Then shall the Lord be, he says, my God, be my God. And later on in the testimony of Jacob, you know what he says? The God who had fed me all day long. The God who has fed me all day long. Through those years, Jacob can testify to us that God is a God that can protect us. God is a God that will take care of us. In the book of Matthew 27, verse 45, please. Matthew 27 in your Bible, in the New Testament. Share your Bible, please. Matthew 27, verse number 45. Matthew 27, verse number 45. Open your Bible there. Verse 45, there it says, now from the sixth hour There was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour. Six hour means twelve o'clock. And then up to three o'clock. And from the ninth, he says, there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour. About the ninth hour, Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, Labas abach chanai. That is to say, my God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me? My God, Jesus was crucified nine o'clock in the morning, and from nine until noon, he hung in the light. At noon, a miraculous darkness covered the land. It was a heaven sent darkness that lasted three hours. From 10 o'clock to three o'clock, after three hours, the darkness left and you hear Jesus Christ saying, my God, my God, why hast thou, why hast thou forsaken me? Well, he was, it was during the time of darkness that Jesus had been made seen for us. He had been forsaken by the Father. That darkness was a symbol of the judgment that He endured when He was made a curse for us. For He had made Him to be seen for us who knew no sin, that we might be made the righteous of God in Him. It was during the time of the most painful experiences of His life, as our sin bearer, that our Lord Jesus Christ exclaimed, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? But still you find him getting hold on God. During the deepest pain of his life, during the darkness that covered an entire land, but still you find Jesus Christ getting hold on God. And placed in that extreme and most painful situation, he settled his heart on one thing, which was the anchor of hope, the anchor of his hope. My God, my God, time will come and I do not know when it will come. When you see nothing but darkness, when you feel nothing but pain, And be blessed with the Lord Jesus Christ this morning. Thank God, even in the darkest hour of our life, we can take hold on the God of heaven. The God of heaven and say, my God, my God. He did not say, my disciples, for all of them have forsaken him. He could not call on his mother and his brethren. They were all powerless to console him. Only the one who could enable him to endure all the suffering of the cross is God. We come to the point of our lives when no man, nothing in this world can produce the comfort we need. Only God. Only God. When we are tested severely, we can come to God and say, my God. I'm glad that I can say you're my God. I don't have to say, Lord, you're the God of so and so. Can you please help me because for the sake of so and so, somebody else. I don't have to say, well, my wife has been worshiping you. My children have been, you know, serving you. Can you please help me for their sake? I'm glad that I can say it with all of my heart. I can lift my eyes and say, My God! You are my God. You are my protector. You are my fortress. You are my shield. You are my provider. And all of God's people say, Amen. What are the things that make us wholeheartedly Make us wholeheartedly claim Him as my God. Are you, are you, are you testifying to others? And I heard that, my God, my God, my God, hold on to it. What are the things that make us wholeheartedly claim Him as my God? Number one, our personal experience of His goodness. Is the God of heaven good to you? Is he good to us? Of course, yes. None of us can say no. All of us can say yes. Yes, he's good. Genesis 48 verse 15, Jacob said, this is a testimony of the goodness of God in his own life. Genesis 48 verse 15, God before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac did walk, the God which fed me all my life long until this day. The God, he says, which fed me all my life long until this day. He didn't say, well, God has been good to me 10 years ago. God was good to me five years ago. God was good to me several years ago. But Jacob says he has been good to me now all throughout life, all throughout my struggle, all throughout my battles in life up until now he is my God. And we say, Amen, raise your hand on that. God is still good to us until now. God is still good to us and he will continually be good. Because he has fed me all his life, all his life long and to this day everything that comes to your hand we should be able to say everything I receive comes from my God. My God. There are times when God uses human instrument to bring the blessings to our lives. There are times God uses circumstances, but those are circumstances, are only those circumstances and those individuals are only used by God as vehicles, but it's God that moves in our lives. I have said this illustration many times. My God, I need something, Lord. Oh, I need you, Lord. Please, I need food. I need this. The only house that has sound is the Atheist's. Heard it? So, while he was eating, he went to the grocery store, he filled it up, he put it here in front of his eyes. Oh, Lord! My God! Thank you, my God! The Atheist's face was laughing. You didn't create it. I am the one who replaced it. Son, where is it? Yes God is good to us. Whatever circumstances that bring those things in our lives. Remember this, God is at the other end of it, on the other side of it. James 1, 17, every good gift and every perfect gift is from above and cometh down from the Father of light with whom there is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. Thank God. Thank God. Number three, my God. God is my God. Let it be the source of assurance for our future. We're still in the midst of pandemic. We were hoping that pandemic would end last December. But we have more now. And look at what happened to our economy, our education system, our economic system, and the Department of Health says there are more than 3 million Filipinos have been emotionally affected by the coronavirus. Fear and doubt, losses, Can you imagine you lose your dearest loved one? You're not even allowed to attend their funeral, to take care of them. And can you imagine all the pain and the struggle of people? It has affected people so much. But it is still going on. In some countries like India, it's increasing, it's increasing. What if those things will happen in the city? We can never tell. We can never tell, but you know what? We can look at the future and say, what is your assurance? And as far as your future is concerned, What is the assurance of your business? What is the assurance of your job? What is the assurance of this and that? And as far as the future is concerned, humanly speaking, I do not know. I cannot tell. I have absolutely no idea. But my God still holds the future. My God. You must stop worrying about our future needs. In Matthew 6.32, for your heavenly Father knowing that you had need of all these things. God knows exactly. I would never, I still rejoice. I wish I can have you put to copy my heart. And so we were, you know, we're trying to befriend him. And I wish I can Just open my heart and let you know how I rejoice. Mamels and I rejoice. I can still not imagine that foreigner handing me two million Czech. You know, even property is totally out of our hands, to tell you that. If there is something that will happen miraculously through prayer. Reverend Ingay, you have this check. You have this check. And I said, God, you are still God. You're still a prayer answering and prayer hearing God. It takes a long time on the process. There are times when our faith would get weaker, and sometimes doubt would sneak in, and discouragement would bring discouragement to us. But I tell you, the future is still in the hands of God. Stop struggling with the future. Stop trying to make it, you know, arrange it the way you want to arrange it. Put everything into the hands of God because God knows the future. He's still in charge of the future. For your Heavenly Father knows that you have need of these things. We can stop fearing of the future and put everything in the hands of God. Always see things in your life on the positive side. God will give us victory. God will give us victory. God is my God. Claim that in your prayer life. When you pray, say, Lord, before I start praying, I want you to know that I heard this message. The message was clear to me. It was so clear in my heart. Pastor Ring, I preached that message. It's not his message. It is your word that sunk deep into my heart. And I now pray, claiming you're my God. God is my God. And then start praying. Start telling God, call unto me and I will answer thee and show thee great and mighty things which thou knowest not. What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? Are you facing some difficult circumstances in life? Say, God is my God. God, God knows exactly what I need. God knows exactly that I need this and I need that. I give it to God. Day and night, I see the need of the work. I can hear those pastors telling me, Humanly speaking, of course, they are prayerful also. Pastor, the other week, the pastor said, But thank God we were able to send at least 45 plastic chairs. Thirty-five of that becomes a Bible Baptist panabo. And Ma'am Jo Asano gave them benches, wooden benches, so... Those are small things but it's in trouble. Those are small things. But you know what? We need to... What we need to do from the pastor to the members of the church. And somebody's contemplating, not far from here, not contemplating on starting a mission in Don Carlos. That means needs. I was there, we were there two weeks ago. Don Carlos City. Not a city yet, but a big place. I'm a businessman in Davao City. I can't compete in malls. I'm going there. Hardware is business. And I was supposed to go the other day to see a place to rent in San Frans. But because of the restriction, I delayed it. I delayed it. There are so many needs as far as the work is concerned. I tell you Church, if my ambition is right, I am not an ambition. I have two children, they are already graduates. If I don't work hard, they will live. If my ambition is right in life, and that is to see the needs of the work, I tell you, the needs of the pastors, But I can share to you, you probably understand. But there is a message for all of us today. Let us put our faith. And as far as the needs of the work are concerned, as far as the need of the future is concerned, put your hands into the hands of God. Put your needs into the heart of God. And I'm glad that we can still say that God, that great God who reigns in heaven is my God. My God. How can he be your God? If you're listening to me, please look at me. Honestly, you ask me, Pastor Ingay, how can I have that God be my God? John 1 12 again, but as many as received him, Jesus Christ, his son who died on the cross, if you receive him with all of your heart, he will give you the authority, the power to become a son of God, a child of God. Open your heart and be saved. Child of God, I hope the message somehow encouraged us. We keep on saying, you are my God. You are my God. You are my God. In every decision I make, I make it for my God. In every struggle I face, I face it with my God. In every need I see, as far as the future is concerned, I say He is my God. Let us all stand up please. During the invitation, Sir Romel will extend the invitation. If the Lord has spoken to your heart, just to remind you, we have decision cards right beside where you are standing right now. Pink cards are those decision cards. If you decide to be saved, please let us know. I wish we can invite you to come forward, but because of social distancing, we observe that you just, we ask you just sign those pink cards. Heavenly Father, God, thank you for allowing us to claim you as our God. In fact, God is not ashamed to be their God, to be called their God. You are pleased, oh God, when you hear us say, my God. You are the God that has saved our soul. You're the God that has called us in the work. You are the God who has established the church. You are the God who has sustained our church. You are the God who has sustained our individual needs, has protected us and empowered us. We claim the same. Exactly, Lord, we claim Thee as our God. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
