You're welcome back after break. Just before the break, we began studying chapter 6, where we're talking about as kingdom builders, kingdom building is all about building people and building them by their spirit. A good example of kingdom building or a good kingdom builder life that we can see and imitate and learn from, one of them is Apostle Paul. We see that when Apostle Paul ministered or he went about building God's kingdom, we see that he treasured and valued people dearly. And that is why we see him writing those letters to the churches because he was concerned about people, the doctrines, the things that were following, whatever doing the church, there should be some kind of order. So he was more interested in people in addressing their needs and helping them in spiritual growth and how to build God's kingdom. And so he is so much involved in building people that he says in 1st 2nd Quarantine chapter 7 verse 3 that he is willing not only to live but is also willing to die together with them. The book of Romans, Paul is so worried about his own people, the Jews, because they are not believing Jesus Christ as the Messiah or the true and living God.  So much so that even as he's called as an apostle to the Gentiles, he was so burdened for his own people, the Jews. In 1st Thessalonians chapter 2 verses 19 and 20, look at what Paul says. Can somebody read that please? For what is our hope or joy or crown of rejoicing? Is it not even you in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ that is coming? For you are our glory and joy. So when Paul stands before God, the final day, he's saying he won't boast about the number of churches he planted, the number of people he mentored, the number of missionary journeys he went on, the number of people who were saved, who accepted Christ. But what does he say? He says, who is his joy, his crown, his glory? What will he celebrate and boast about? The people. Yes, the people that he served. And 2 Corinthians chapter 3 verses 1 to 3, Paul very clearly says that people are his epistles written in his heart. People are his epistles written in his heart, known and read by all men. That means his life was so transparent before everyone knew him and was able to imbibe his lifestyle, his way of living, was able to see his life very clearly. And he says that you are an epistle written not with ink but with the spirit of the living stone. And he says you are an epistle written in our hearts. What does he mean to say? Who are the people in our hearts? Yeah, I'm sure that I'm not in some of your hearts, right? Because I'm not. I mean as simple as that. I mean I am your teacher but then it's not that you hold me so dear in your heart. You have your own very close people that you love, who are very close to you, who are in your heart. So we carry them in our hearts. So for Paul, who was in his heart, the people that he ministered to, the people that he served. And he says they are written in his heart. And how are they written by the enabling of the Holy Spirit? He says not by ink. What does it mean? Not by ink. You're not written by ink. Means? Not by ink means? Not in carnal ways. You know carnal methods. Ink is something when it's man-made. You write it, even you can just put water and it can be washed away. It's not lasting. But he's saying you are written in our hearts by the spirit of the living God. Not on tablets of stone but on tablets of flesh that is our heart. So when we build, why are we looking at it this point is because when we have people in our heart, when we are burdened about people that God has entrusted to us and we are looking at how we can build them up and strengthen them up and get them to journey with God and get them to spiritually mature, then God gives us the authority to speak into their hearts and lives. So it is when we write them in our hearts and not doing it through carnal methods, not saying, hey, my church, I have a thousand members just to boast of. But you know, allowing the Holy Spirit to work, it's the Holy Spirit who empowers people. It's the Holy Spirit who establishes the work of God in the hearts and lives of people. It's not our charisma. It's not how well we can preach, teach the doctrine, how much, you know, how well we can do all of those things. All of those are important, but it's the Holy Spirit who ultimately works in the hearts and lives of people. So it is the work of the Holy Spirit that brings about transformation and permanent change in the hearts and lives of people. So what does it mean? Even as we go about kingdom building, we need to be mindful that we are building people and we have to build them not in our own strength, in our own independence, in our own wisdom, in our own smartness, our skills, but by the work of the Holy Spirit and not through carnal methods, not doing things because, you know, preaching messages that people would love to hear, you know, prosperity, gospel, grace, greater grace. You can keep sinning, you know, God is gracious, He's merciful, He's forgiving. He won't punish you. Not talking about sin, not talking about salvation, not talking about heaven, hells, coming of God, judgment. You know, we don't talk all of those things because we don't want people to leave our church and go. We want people to stay. We favor the rich, the business people, the business, the higher society class. Even if they do things that are wrong, we don't talk about it or don't correct them because we don't want them to leave our church because we want money. You know, we want to know our church to be famous and to know that big people are coming to our church or being part of our ministry. So that is all carnal methods, but we need to build people by the Spirit. And God uses us, you know, to build people and that does not mean because God uses us to raise up or mentor people or spiritually help people to grow and transform in their lives. It does not mean that we become gods, right? It does not mean that we are perfect. It does not mean we are great. It's only that God's annoying thing or the work of the Holy Spirit is flowing in and through us and God is using us and the Holy Spirit working in the lives of people. So God uses us as imperfect people to perfect, imperfect people. So never come to that place where we think it's all about us. It's all our doing. It's all our smartness. It's all how good we are. But we need to remember that we are imperfect and God is using us to perfect other people who are imperfect. Now some practical keys to building the people by the Spirit. The first one is to recognize that God's purpose for the individual. So even as we go about ministering to people and building people, we need to understand or recognize what is God's purpose for their life. We need to discern how do we discern this? The help of the Holy Spirit. Yes. So we need to discern what is God's calling in that person's life. What is their function? How do we know what is their function? Their talents and their gifts. And the grace that they have to fulfill that. We need to help people to fulfill and to come or position themselves in such a way that they can fulfill God's purpose for their lives. And this is a great responsibility that we have. It will be greatly accountable to God. So we need the help of the Holy Spirit. Look at Jesus through the power of the Holy Spirit. He was able to discern when he saw people. Right? When he saw Peter. What does he say in John chapter one versus 14 and 41 and 42? You know, can somebody read that? John chapter one, 41 and 42. He first found his own brother Simon and said to him, we have found the Messiah, which is translated the Christ. And he brought him to Jesus. Now when Jesus looked at him, he said, you are Simon, the Son of Jonah. You shall be called Cephas, which is Stifas, which is translated a stone. Yes. So, you know, Jesus speaks his destiny for, speaks into the divine destiny for Simon, okay, here. And how does he do it? Through the discerning of the Holy Spirit, okay? In the case of Nathaniel, when Jesus saw Nathaniel coming towards him, what does he say? Here is a man who in him there is no deceit, okay? So here we see that, you know, Jesus speaking divine destiny into the hearts and lives of these people, calling them out from where they are to where God has purpose them to be. So also, even as we build people, you know, God will get us to speak into their hearts and in their lives. Is it possible? Is it possible that God will get us to speak into their hearts and lives, speak divine destinies into hearts and lives? Yes, when? We genuinely rely on the Holy Spirit. When we have people written on our hearts, when we genuinely care and love them, okay? Genuine love and care for people, okay? So that is what helps us. And we see that Jesus had genuine love for people. The reason why he came was for what? For us, for people, to save people, okay? To search for the lost and to find the lost and to save them, okay? So when we have people written in our hearts, God will help us to speak into their hearts and lives.  So suppose there are two teachers for each class at Central and they have six children. So each of you take three, three and pray. And I remember when I was teaching the 10th grade and along with my co-teacher, we used to pray at the same time, same day in different places, not meet and pray or all of those things.   And I remember saying some of those things to some children and they were just so shocked and so touched. I had one of them really was crying, you know, just hug me, I was crying. And then later on, the parent, the mother was very worried. Did Auntie Serena say something? And so she was, you know, shouted at her or what? And so send somebody to ask me what really happened. So I didn't say what God told me. I just told the child because it was very specific to the child. But something that child was really going through was really burdened. I think so overburdened that the child really didn't bother. Who was there in adultery just cried, just weeping like anything. So, you know, when we have really that burden, the Holy Spirit really reveals to our hearts and our minds and we can really minister to them. Also, we need to position people to release divine potential. Okay. Which means, you know, God has appointed place, a position or season which people that he gives entrust to us, sheeps that he entrusted to us and we need to develop what God wants to be developed in their lives. In the case of Moses, you know, God tells him, you know, encourage Joshua. You know, come on Joshua, encourage him, strengthen him for he's going to lead the people. Okay. So, here Moses had the responsibility to encourage him, strengthen him and build him up. In the case of Barnabas and Saul, you know, the first 17 years of Saul was, what is it called? The first 17 years of Saul. Quiet period, a silent period in Paul's life. And many of them did not want to associate with Paul, even though he had accepted Jesus Christ. Why? Because he looked at him as the whole old Saul, right, was persecuting and maybe just pretending, you know, to be saved and finding out who are really believers. But we see that Barnabas, you know, departed for Thassis to seek Paul and he found him and brought him to Antioch. So, you know, in those silent years, there was not many who engaged with Paul, other than Ananas who went and spoke over him and baptized him and laid hands on him when he was blind. And then, you know, we see Barnabas going and also Barnabas goes with Paul on his first missionary journey. But Barnabas takes his, I think, nephew, John Mark along with them in the first missionary journey along with Paul. And suddenly John Mark, you know, in the middle of the way in the missionary journey in Pamphylia, he says, hey, I don't want to continue with this missionary journey. Please leave me. You two go ahead Barnabas and Paul and I don't want to continue with you. And Paul was very, very upset. Okay. And when they were getting ready to go on the second missionary journey, you know, Barnabas tells Paul, we'll take John Mark and Paul and Barnabas had such a great disagreement. Paul was saying, no, I don't want to take him. Barnabas was, you know, was very bound on taking John Mark so much so that they departed ways. You know, Paul took Silas and Barnabas took John Mark and went on different missionary journeys. But we see that later on Paul realizes his mistake. He sees how John Mark is, you know, spiritually mature, growing and how his wonderful work he's doing in the ministry for the Lord in building its kingdom. He takes John Mark again and he's part of his team. Okay. So we see that, you know, sometimes we can make a mistake in discerning people.  Sometimes we can't just judge people on their outward appearance, how they behave. You know, some people can be very casual, very jovial, very fun loving. Doesn't mean they're not spiritually inclined or not having an intimacy with God or, you know, very friendly, very caring and not, you know, we can misjudge them for not being spiritually mature or intimate with God or seeking God or loving God. It's all, you know, some barriers that we place or some things that we look for ourselves. And Paul did that with John Mark but he realizes his mistake and he corrects his mistake and he brings him back into, you know, journeying along with him and ministering along with John Mark. So even as we realize divine potential, you know, we need to help people position themselves so that they can be used by God. Okay. And we also need to help people discover and develop their gifting. Okay. So ministering to people is not just, okay, talking about salvation, getting them to know Christ, accept Christ and then just leaving them, but also getting them to grow into spiritual maturity, getting them to know what is God's plan and purpose for their life, fulfilling God's plan and purpose for their life and also in the process developing and helping them identify, discover their calling, their gifting and helping them to move in their gifting and their calling. And that is what Paul did with many of the people that he raised up like, you know, some of them like Timothy, you know, some of them like Onissimus, who was a runaway slave or filamen, you know, recognizes his potential and talks about him to filamen and recommends him back to filamen. Okay. So here we need to be mindful of that and also help people know and develop their gifts, their grace and their function and their callings. Okay. The next one is nurture life to life. Even as we build people up, it's important that people who associate with us are looking at our own lives. Okay. Our lives can speak the greatest message. Our lives are the greatest message that we will ever preach. And even before we teach or ask people to do it, we ourselves should be doing it, following it, living that. Okay. And we cannot minister to people. We cannot teach them if we ourselves are not growing in the word of God. If we ourselves are not growing in the word of God and the revelation, the truths of God, if we ourselves are not growing in the gifts of the spirit, you know, we cannot attempt to teach others and expect them to do. Okay. Because it won't be possible. You cannot give what you do not have. Okay. What you do not have, you cannot give anyone. Okay. And you cannot take people to places where you have not been yourself. Okay. You cannot teach people about stewardship and you are not a good steward yourself. You cannot teach people about being godly in character when you are not godly in character yourself. It doesn't mean that, hey, we don't talk about it. We don't teach about it. No. You know, when I teach about it, I, when I am preparing all of these things, you know, on a year to year basis, there are so many things I say, God, I've not done this.  Please forgive me. You know, thank you that even as I'm teaching in Bible college, it's not just like, hey, I have to go and prepare and teach. It's about me learning because all of these things that I teach in Bible college really helps me. It teaches me. I'm just growing more in my, in my faith walk in my spiritual maturity. I'm learning so many revelations, so many truths. And it's reminding me of things that I have forgotten.  So please help me. I think this is so important. You know, if not, I'm not going to be an effective minister. I'm not going to be an effective teacher. I'm not going to be an effective person in your kingdom. So God, I've overlooked this. I've not been mindful. Please help me. Help me. So we cannot take people to places where we have not been. And, you know, what we preach and teach, if we are not following it ourselves, it will just be a noise.  We're echoing somebody else's message. We'll be echoing somebody else's thoughts. Like, for example, when we preach on Sundays in different locations, we all preach the same sermon. But we prepare that. But when we are preparing it so many times, I am mindful that I've fallen short of those things. And I am so careful that I, before I go and preach and teach, I set my life in order and right before God, before I go and teach. Otherwise, I'll just be a noise and I, anointing will not flow and people will not be ministered too. So that is what I'm looking for. I'm saying God, even as I spent so much of time preparing a message, my whole Saturday goes in just preparing the message. And I spent three or four hours, sorry, close to between five and six hours preparing for each Bible college class. I mean, the three hours that I do on Monday and Friday, I want that to be profitable. And the only way it's profitable, I can only make a noise if I'm just going to just teach what is there in the content. But if I don't mean it and I'm not doing it in my own life and following that, it's just going to be a noise. It's a waste of my time and my energy. I could have done so many other things. I could have slept. I could have rested. I could have done so many things, but I'm investing so much of my time and energy God. I want that to be profitable. So please, you know, help me in these areas, change me in these areas so that what my life and my ministry and what I'm teaching can be useful and profitable. Okay. So you cannot administer liberty in areas where your health bondage your cells. So some areas where we are in bondage ourselves, we cannot speak release and freedom to others. And they cannot be released from those things if we are in bondage ourselves because of the anointing that breaks the yoke. It is the anointing that releases people from bondage. And if you don't have the anointing in that area, we can't release the anointing to break those bondages and strongholds in other people's lives. Okay. And other thing, the most important thing is avoid insecurities. Now, all of us are insecure, but not perfect people. But we need to take a stalk of our lives and to see ourselves and to correct ourselves and to work on those things and to move towards Christ likeness. Okay. So there are various insecurities that can hinder us from relating to people or ministering or talking or speaking into the lives of people.  Others who are doing better than us. Others who are preaching better than us. Others who are more famous in the eyes of people. Some people love some ministers of God more than the others. And the others who are not love can come to a place of jealousy, but we need to avoid that. An example is Saul and David, right? Saul killed thousands and David killed tens of thousands. Okay. And Saul became very jealous. And what happened led him to the rest of his life run behind one man, right? They were like being running and catching the whole of Saul's life. It was so sad. Okay. He lost his whole purpose and plan for his life. So it's important that we maintain a pure heart attitude that is right before God. People can see our, you know, our show that we put in front of them, but God looks at our heart and it's important to maintain a pure heart before God, a right heart attitude towards God. Okay. Avoid being overprotective and being over controlling over people. Now, sometimes, you know, when people come, God sends people into our lives, whether it's a Bible study group or prayer group or cell group or church or, you know, some people that we have raised them up, we have shared the gospel and they have come to the knowledge of Jesus Christ. We kind of be overprotective over them, you know, if they go for some other meetings or they go for some other Bible study or they go for some conference that is held in some other church or some crusade that happens in the city, if they go or if they go and help out in some other ministries or fight in some other ministries, we get very, very upset, you know, and then we give them all reasons. I've heard some people say, you know, if we don't go to the church service on Sunday, the next day, Monday morning, morning pastor will be in our house asking us why we did not come to church. So we should say, we will tell him, you know, I can't come for this program. I'm so sorry. Even though I want to come, you know, so they become so overprotective. They become controlling that, you know, they control controlling to the sense, to the point where they even control who the person should marry, where they should go and get the job, where their children should study, where they should type, how much they should type, what car they should buy, where they should live their house. We've heard of people who have even told us that, you know, men and women of God have told them to sell their houses and come and stay very next to their house. You know, what, where to put their children in schools and all of them are so hurt because of the way their lives have been controlled. And sometimes when you listen to it, you just think, how can people control your life to every little aspect? It is really so demonic. It is like spiritual witchcraft, you know, that people do by being overcontrolling and overprotective. And they say that they're actually protecting their, taking care and protecting their sheep and it's not taking care and it's, it's like overprotecting. Imagine if you have a husband or a wife or you are parents and you do that with your children every minute to minute you are where did you go? What did you do? Tell me this. How will a child feel? How will you feel as a spouse? You know, I mean, it, it can be so strangling for you. You can be so suffocated, you know, and that is what happens. Yes, we need to be zealous and jealous of, you know, the people that God has entrusted to us and Godly jealousy. Godly jealousy means that, yeah, you know, that they are following the right doctrines and listening to the right men and women of God. They're learning from other men and women of God.  That is not a right attitude. That is birth out of insecurity or insecure that your people will leave. Now, you shouldn't be insecure because if the person really feels they belong to you, they are family, they will come back home. Right?   That is where they belong, okay? So, why being overprotective, over-controlling, over-involvement?  So, remember, you know, a girl was from a non-Christian background and she got married and she moved from, she got her husband who was from Bangalore to move to her place where her pastor was and then also moved to the apartment next to the pastor's apartment and it got so frustrating for that person because he said, hey, let's buy a fridge. He said, I'll go and check with pastor and ask him which fridge to buy. That's when he thought things were really becoming too much and he told her, you know, we better move back to Bangalore. My parents are there and she was not willing to do it and now it's sadly they're divorced because he was so over-controlling, over-protective, over-involvement. And also avoid being overly authoritative. Look at what Peter says in 1 Peter 5 verse 2. Can somebody read that, please? 1 Peter 5 verse 2 and verse 3. 1 Peter 5 verse 2 and 3. Shepherds, the flock of God which is among you, serving as overseers, not by compulsion but willingly, not for dishonest gain but eagerly, nor as being lords over those and trusted to you, but being example to the flock. Yes. So here, Peter is saying, shepherd the flock not out of compulsion but willingly, not as being bosses, not being lords but by setting an example. Look at what Paul says in 1 Corinthians. He says he preaches the gospel and he presents the gospel to people without charge. Which means he's saying, hey, I'm not getting any money or benefit from you because he was running his own business. Okay. And he says, I don't abuse my authority for the sake of the gospel. Okay. And he says in 2 Corinthians chapter 2 12 verse 19 he says we do all things, beloved for your edification. So he's saying everything that we do we do it so that people can be edified. Okay. And the next one is avoid emotional attachments. Okay. Yes, people are sent by God for us in our lives for a season. You know, if they want to leave and go or go to some other ministry go to some other church, go to some other place, start their own ministry, you know, let them go, release them. Okay. Because they were there for a certain season. Okay. Don't get so emotionally attached to them have soulish attachments that you don't want to leave them and allow them to go into God's plan and purposes for their lives. Okay. The next one is bring correction when required. It's important that we correct people but correct them in love. Okay. Speak the truth in love. Ephesians says that, you know, and sometimes, you know, we don't want to correct people because we think we lose relationships. Okay. But if we think about that, we are actually destroying the person because whatever they're doing their sin is causing them more harm. Okay.  Okay. And always remember that when you're correcting people, that you're correcting the sin, the problem and not the person. Don't condemn the person. Don't put down the person. Condemn the sin but not the person. Okay. And when you correct the person remember not to keep talking about it again and again back to the same person when they do another mistake and also talking about it to others. Sometimes we can be very spiritual. We can go around and tell people, hey, please pray for this person. They fell in the sin and I corrected them. I wanted to pray. That's actually spiritual gossip. The other word for it is not gossip but spiritual gossip. Okay. I think if you and the person prays God can, you don't need three people to pray for the same thing. Okay. And when you bring in correction, do it for the person's edification and not destruction. Sometimes we do bring correction that will destroy the person's heart and mind and the way we do that. We need to be very, very sensitive. It breaks the person so much that the person doesn't want to do anything with God ultimately and that's very sad. Okay. So bring correction with gentleness. Okay. Is it easy to bring correction with gentleness sometimes? No. Right. Sometimes it's because with our emotions we can get sometimes very angry. Right. And then we can, this is clear up what it can show in our language especially some people like me, it just shows everything in my action, in my word, in my body language, in my face, everything and it's very difficult. So my tone of voice, so people will be misjudged that even if I'm trying to be nice, it will all be misjudged and I'm saying, God, please help me with these areas. So we must ask the Holy Spirit to help us to be gentle kind because that is the fruit of the spirit. Okay. All little difficult but we can ask God to help us. Okay. When we are correcting people we beseech them and not command them. It's beseeching and commanding. What is beseeching? Okay. There are 24 references where Paul beseeches people. You know, Paul writing most of his letters it is written to correct people. Right. He used it to correct people to bring about correction in the churches. So what is and he uses beseeching 24 times as a reference for beseeching 24 times in Paul's epistles. Beseech means to call near, to invite to exhort, to pray request to ask. So basically it's more like requesting, exotic, telling them inviting them to understand to change and praying for them. Okay. So in various example references where Paul is, you know, correcting people when he's writing his letters to various churches he uses this word beseech to correct them.  It's a personal thing inviting you. You know, I'm praying that you would understand that you correct yourself that you would change. Okay. Now command Paul uses it very sparingly. Only four times he uses it. Okay. And he uses it in the sense of using his spiritual authority. Okay. His when he requires people to follow what God is asking them to do. Okay. So there are a few times when he uses this and one of the times is in 1 Corinthians chapter seven was then he says now to the married I command you know and he's not saying I'm doing it but he's saying God is commanding you. Okay. And then in 2nd Thessalonians chapter three verses four, six and twelve where he's commanding the brethren in the name of Jesus Christ to withdraw from this brother who is not living an orderly life according to the traditions that they have received. Okay. So it's important that we command them the command is basically more coming from you know from God's what God is telling us to come on or say you know even as I'm correcting you I like you to see what God is commanding us in his word.  Okay. Now when people we correct them you know they we can receive this kind of reactions from them. Okay. Some of them can very immaturely react. They can complain all these times you know they were very nice with you they were listening they were very loving speaking nicely to you suddenly when you correct them they're complaining about anything and everything. Okay.  Some of them even withdraw you know they go away from they don't speak to you when you are when you're passing them they will look in the other direction or they will walk away you know so they don't want to have any interactions sometimes people can retaliate you know they blame you you know for the problems for their disappointments for their dissatisfaction and sometimes they can even departure depart from you they can leave the church your ministry your organization your life group your Bible study group prayer group okay so what should you do in such situations in such situations you need to don't take offence guard your heart okay look at what Paul is writing to the church at Galatia you know the church at Galatia Paul had labored he had taught them and suddenly there was this person who was coming and teaching them that you know hey you have to follow all these Old Testament Jewish rituals of food of circumcision and doing these rituals and that rituals and all of them in the church were trying to do that and when Paul heard about it he was very very sad he was very disappointed he said you know he says I'm afraid for you lest I have labored in you in with you in vain but what does he say in verse 13 he says but you have not injured me at all see he does not take it personal he guards his heart he's done what he's supposed to do and if people are not adhering to the doctrines of Jesus Christ there's nothing he can do he says hey you have not injured me at all okay the next thing we can do is give time for people to change you know people need time they need time to think about it you know to process things in their minds if they are hurt give them time you know and you know if they want to move out let them go away in peace send them out in peace but maintain a good relationship with them when they come back speak to them that you can do to help strengthen them and build them okay the seventh thing is that bring maturity in all areas okay our goal in building people in the spirit is to help people develop to be mature in every area of their lives okay remember in the previous chapter we talked about spiritual maturity right and we talked about spiritual maturity is growing into Christ's likeness when are we complete we are complete or we are perfect tilios perfect when we in all things in all areas we grow to be like Jesus Christ okay so and is it possible to grow in all areas to be like Jesus Christ at least to be like Jesus Christ yes how do we do that the Holy Spirit and the Word okay so the Holy Spirit and the Word okay so sometimes we mistake or emphasize maturity in our giftings and callings and forget that character is more important okay so we need to God is more interested in our character okay so we need to deal with our character issues okay how do we deal with our character issues learn to relate with people apart from their gift okay some people can cover their character with their gifts and their callings and we don't know some of their personal sins that they are involved in you will not know what some of my personal sins that I'm involved in I can have the name or a title I can be in ministry for so many years I can be teaching you but you know I can also fool you with some of my personal sins so you know don't just look at people with their gifts and callings but you know and neglect their character issues okay deal with heart issues if people have heart issues like rejection, insecurities, rebellion which is seen outwardly you know we need to help people okay with that deal with issues like people's short temper they are not able to relate with other people always gossiping about others always laughing about others always complaining, cribbing about others okay and also independence some people want to do things their way you know you give them a role, a responsibility and you ask them why did they do it this way I told you to do it this way they said the Holy Spirit spoke to me the Holy Spirit guided me it's actually it's not just the Holy Spirit it's actually they want to you know do things in their own independence where they feel comfortable the way they like where they think is right and so you need to help people you know teach them that they need to come under leadership and under the vision and the mission of the organization that they are in okay deal with lifestyle habits okay like it's important for people to maintain a good testimony how they manage their family their money their assets their job and all of those things okay also break identify and break cycles of failure now sometimes people can be running in and out of ministries and churches you know so we need to help people even deal with that you know so identify those areas and also help them in those areas okay the eighth one is release them into that calling when people have a specific calling they grow and mature with you you've seen the gifts the function the grace that is upon them you know and then release them into that calling give them the liberty to do things on their own just like Paul did with Titus and Timothy you know Titus the Timothy was a son in the faith who he mentored okay and we see that he does not keep Timothy a life long as his son but we see that Paul you know at one point of time he says my son in the faith but later on he says Timothy who's my co-worker my co-laborer you know my co-worker in the kingdom of God so we see how Paul moved on from just keeping him as his son to moving him to a place of looking at him as a mature person in a leadership role and he leaves him in a very strategic place in the city of Ephesus where Paul Timothy has to oversee many churches around Ephesus as well the seven churches that is in Revelation you know is around Ephesus and so even Timothy had responsibility so over those churches and why does Paul leave him there in such a strategic important responsibility as a young man because he sees him grow up to that capability of being spiritually mature to be able to take leadership and Paul does not say hey he's my son I'll keep him with me like a journey with me he leaves him there and he teaches him to take on that responsibility so also with Titus we leave him Crete okay so we need to release people into their calling and not just keep them under us you know doing things for us like as to say we are kings and they are our servants and our subjects who need to always take care of our needs okay continue to be their support even when needed okay so even when you release people continue to mentor them support them build them up just like Paul did for Timothy and Titus okay he writes two letters to Timothy first and second Timothy when he was in Roman imprisonment okay and he writes even to Titus okay so important that we continue to support them and if you know if people fall down restore them you know with gentleness give them spiritual restoration you know don't make a fun or a mockery of you know their sins or their you know falling or you know how they have fallen say how could you do this and all of those things and expel them from the church and expel them from the ministry that's not going to have the person okay restore those who are fallen and handle those who are you know handling also those who are fallen away so like we see you know Paul uses discernment when some people fall away from the truth he he helps to restore them but some of them like you know who shipwreck their faith like we see in he writes to Philemon you know he talks about Aristachus and Divus and he also talks about Timothy he's writing second Timothy about he says who has loved the present world and he has you know forsaken Christ forsaken the ministry and he also talks about Timothy about first Timothy chapter one about Hymenius and Alexander who have shipwrecked their faith and what does Paul say I have delivered them to whom Satan you know when you read those words you can say how how cruel will of Paul to you know say that you know I have given them up to Satan what does Paul really mean when he's in two occasions okay here and the church at Corinth you know one man was living an immoral life so he says you hand them over to Satan send them out of the church and hand them over to Satan so what does Paul really mean he's saying these men are men who are in leadership positions authority they've known Christ they've experienced Christ and we have helped them to overcome but in spite of that what has happened they are not willing to overcome their sin and so he says send them out of the church or the fellowship or hand them over to Satan which means he's saying that you know when they are out of the spiritual covering Satan attacks them they go through various problems and difficulties and what happens then they are mindful of their sin and they can repent and come back and when you come then they come back in one case Paul says you know the church of Corinth he says bring take back that person okay so that is why he says hand them over to Satan not that they had destroyed and land and help for the rest of their lives but so that they can learn a lesson and they can you know it can become a recovery and they can come back and you know they can be restored so two different ways he does that sometimes we can restore people and sometimes you know we just send them away so that they learn and then you know God can work in their lives and the Holy Spirit ultimately can work and restore them okay any questions any questions okay if there are no questions we will end class and just like I had you know posted in the Google classroom you will have your assessment coming on Wednesday right November 8th and you can submit it on November 10th okay yeah thank you everyone for joining class have a blessed day and a blessed week thank you oh I didn't ask Sri Radha Sri Radha is your question answered


Hello and welcome to the session. In this session, we will discuss how to write an arithmetic sequence both recursively and with an explicit formula and translate between the two forms. Now, let us find the recursive formula for an arithmetic sequence. Now, consider the following sequence. Here, first term that is a1 is equal to first, second term a2 is equal to 7, third term a3 is equal to 10 and so on. Now, let us see the difference between the two consecutive terms. Now, a2 minus a1 is equal to 7 minus 4 that is equal to 3. a3 minus a2 is equal to 10 minus 7 that is equal to 3. Now, here a4 is 13. So, a4 minus a3 is equal to 13 minus 10 that is also 3 and so on. Thus, there is a common difference denoted by d between the consecutive terms of the sequence and that difference is d is equal to 3. So, we have the following pattern a1 is equal to 4 then a2 is equal to 7 which can be written as 4 plus 3 or we can write it as a2 is equal to now a1 is equal to 4 so a2 can be written as a1 plus 3 then a3 is equal to 10 which can be written as 7 plus 3 or we can write it as a3 is equal to now a2 is equal to 7 so a3 can be written as a2 plus 3 like this is sum of the preceding term and the common difference 3 thus nth term of the sequence will be an is equal to an minus 1 plus 3 where an minus 1 is preceding or previous term of an recursive formula for this sequence is given by a1 is equal to 4 an is equal to an minus 1 plus 3 where n is greater than 1 write it as a1 is equal to 4 an plus 1 is equal to an plus 3 where n is greater than equal to 1 thus in general the recursive formula for alphabetic sequence is given by an plus 1 is equal to an plus d where n is greater than equal to 1 and d is common difference write it as an is equal to an minus 1 plus d where n is greater than 1 also that is a1 is known now let us see an example consider the following sequence now here common difference d is equal to 2 now here you can see difference between 2 consecutive terms of this sequence that is 4 minus 2 is 2, 6 minus 4 is 2, 8 minus 6 is 2 and so on so here common difference d is equal to 2 is equal to where n is greater than that is a1 is equal to 2 the value of d in this formula and we get an plus 1 is equal to an is equal to 2 where n is greater than equal to 2 now let us find explicit formula for this alphabetic sequence now here common difference d is equal to 3 now here you can see 7 minus 4 is 3, 10 minus 7 is 3, 30 minus 10 is again 3 that is a1 is equal to 4 which can be written as 4 plus 0 into 3 term a2 is equal to 7 which can be written as 4 plus 1 into 3 which can also be written as simply a1 plus d then that is the third term is 10 which can be written as 4 into 3 and this can be written as into d or simply a1 plus 2d further now this a4 is equal to 13 which can be written as 4 plus 3 into 3 and this can be written as a1 plus 3 into d or simply a1 plus 3d term of this sequence an is equal to a1 into d so here formula is equal to now a1 here is 4 whole into d which is n is equal to 4 plus an is equal to now this 1 plus 3n or we can write this an is equal to 3n plus 1 n is equal to 3n plus 1 where n is greater than equal to 1 thus in an alphabetic sequence we are finding all the terms of the sequence when we know the first term a1 and the common difference d is given by equal to a1 plus n minus 1 the whole into d where n is greater than equal to 1 now suppose we have to find the 11th term of the sequence whose explicit formula is given as an is equal to 3n plus 1 where n is greater than equal to 1 so here 11 put n is equal to 11 and this formula and we have a11 is equal to 3 into 11 plus 1 which implies a11 is equal to 33 plus 1 which implies a11 is equal to 34 the sequence is 34 the formula from the requested formula so formula is equal to 4 an is equal to an minus 1 plus 3 where now see here d is equal to 3 and is equal to 4 1 the whole into d which will be equal to 1 the whole into d is 3 which is equal to 4 plus 3n minus 3 which is equal to 3n plus 1 equal to 1 is a formula from the requested formula to obtain the reference formula an alphabetic sequence and this completes our session hope you all have enjoyed the session


What's good George boros back again with another video, so we just finished our live stream reactions for the Money in the Bank go home show for a smackdown shout out to everyone that was a part of the show We appreciate you guys. We always have a good time looking forward to money in the bank tomorrow Should be a good time. I can't wait. It's gonna be a good show But we got to talk about the main event segment Roman Reigns returning back to Smackdown to address the Usos Roman comes out there. Oh What night and he he's starting off his promo the usual acknowledge me there was some people that was acknowledging him or what not It was you know, cool little you know what you expect the shout out to the London crowd You guys were pretty lit the majority of will pretty much the entire show So when he came out there the energy was hot energy was electric So he basically he basically pretty much is saying look at the end of the day I'm the tribal chief and I have given the Usos everything. I've pretty much taken credit for them Being who they are, you know saying he's he's taking credit for them being in the position They were at like people knowing who they were and coming off like this this father figure In fact, he even tried to turn it and spin it as if he's the good guy, which Roman always does He's spinning it gaslighting it like I'm the guys that gave I'm the person that gave you everything I'm the guy that put y'all in the position to be where you at I'm the guy that carried y'all to where we are now, you know and pretty much basically saying like if it wasn't for me The bloodline wouldn't be what it is if it wasn't for me. You guys wouldn't be where you were, you know Then the positions where you were it's all me. I'm the one that did that as you expect He spun it once again like look But we can make this work. We can make this work. All you got to do is come out here bow down to me ask for forgiveness and Acknowledge me and then we can move past this. So this is Roman coming off like the dad Like I give you guys so many chances because that's what a good father does That's what a good tribal chief does. I'm gonna give you guys another chance to come out here Apologize bow down to me acknowledge me and we can move forward So the usos come out and you know, they weren't about to take none of this Malarkey that Roman was talking about, you know, they weren't about to go for that So usos come out crowd will lit And he's you know, Jimmy is like you think we trying to get back in We done we've already said we're not trying to get back in and then Jay starts, you know talking on the microphone He's like, yo When's the last time Roman's gotten pinned and it been like three years ago There's been about three years well tomorrow We gonna make sure you end up getting pinned Roman and I like that fact that one Jay said this It goes back to my theory of Jay being the one to pin Roman Reigns because they hadn't been talking about that So for him to bring that up the day before the pay-per-view talking about Roman hasn't been pinned and tomorrow He's getting pinned is a very telltale and sign because they didn't even mention this any other time, you know prior to You know and solo did get pinned at the last pay-per-view event So that that was very interesting He didn't say solo to say you Roman and then what I love what they started to do is they start to switch things up Jimmy said well Jay said I'm not trying to you know saying he said pretty much once you get pinned You won't be tribal chief no more, you know saying pretty much you won't be the tribal chief no more And I don't want to be the tribal chief and then Jimmy's like I don't want to be the tribal chief and Then they both looked at solo and That's when Roman started busting out laughing because he couldn't even think of the thought of solo being tribal chief But then solo on cross his arms and then the crowds chanting solo and then Roman is starting to really look at solo Like you really thinking about this and I love that brown I love that only because that that that slight little swerve there is very interesting There has been rumors that solo may turn tomorrow I'm not sure how accurate that is but they are planning the season they planted the seeds right there We don't want to be tribal chief Jimmy and Jay say we want you to be the tribal chief and I Appreciate that because now it's creating that little bit of extra doubt with Roman not this point Roman gets mad Jay stands up on the turn on by the ring and he's in Roman's face. Roman's getting real disrespect He ain't never gonna do nothing. You ain't gonna do jack squat Like what you gonna do and then that's when Jay pushes Roman and then Roman eats a super kick from Jimmy And then all out brawl starts it was great Roman's selling a super kick was great if security comes out there. It's just chaos everywhere Then Roman actually there Jay hits Roman with a takedown or what now and Jimmy is fighting solo on the outside So do you see the visual of Jay given Roman the beats was so beautiful to see I loved it And then security guard start getting in Jay's trying to handle up on them get them out the way Roman hits Jay with the Superman punch and then he goes out there to give out some beats to Jay while he's on the ground but then he sees solo and the security people and Jimmy all in a Bruja ha so Roman goes out there starts giving the beats to the security people to get to Jay and Jimmy and then when he finally gets to Jimmy, that's when they cut back to to pretty much Jay going on running running the ropes going over the top rope. He ends up knocking down the cameraman It was a good visual Roman once again selling fantastically from the dive. It was a great visual I can't wait till tomorrow. It's gonna be a great great showing. This is the best storyline WWE has produced in many many years and I'm looking forward to seeing how it's gonna play out Like I said in my previous predictions I do think Jay will be the one to pin Roman Reigns, but it's gonna be interesting to see will solo turn on him That it's gonna be the real key and I'm really interested to see how that's gonna play out Because when it's all said done Roman you see what's Roman is doing Roman was trying to once again get his family back together Because he knows he's stronger with them by his side. That's why he sat up there with the whole I did this for you guys But I'm gonna try to I'll forgive you again. I love you guys. I care about you guys you guys are my family I just need you to bow down to me listen to me apologize Acknowledge me as your tribal chief and we can get back to business because he knows the stronger Together than a part, but obviously the Usos are not having it the question always will come down to When will solo finally realize what the Usos are saying about Roman Reigns? And that's what it's gonna come down to so comment down below Let me know did this hype you up even more for their match the Civil War match the bloodline Civil War match Tomorrow cuz I know I'm extra hype can't wait. It's gonna be a good time And I'm gonna be very excited to see how this plays out man But I appreciate all of them support you guys shown on channel wrote 250k And I'm seeing you on speedy you to the rest of the world appreciate y'all kicking me see our next one.
