SAVED FOR A PURPOSE

For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life John 3:16 Every Christian has a missionary to embark on. You have been saved to save others. And you will return to the feet of Jesus Christ one day to give account. The greatest miracle that can happen in one's life is the salvation of his or her soul. There is always a great joy in heaven whenever a person is translated from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of God. You need to rejoice with that person as well. Indeed, that is the greatest breakthrough anyone can receive. A lot of of Christains will go to heaven and be accused of murder; they have blood on their neck because they refused to preach the gospel to others. Everything which god does, God has a reason and purpose for doing it. This means that if you have been bornagain God has a reason for saving you. he has a purpose for your life in the grand scheme of His ultimate plan for the Bride of Christ, the church Ephesians 2:10. If you do not have the burden to pray for lost souls, ask God to give you now. God will cause them to turn to Him and break every stronghold of the enemy in their lives. Act now, because no one knows when the Son of Man shall appear.

THAT PROBLEM HAS EXPIRED

It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man. Psalm 118:8 When it was reported to the king of Isreal that the Syrian army had left their camp abandoning all their supplies and weapons of war, he did not believe the report. It t was too good to be true. Everybody within the walled city seemed to be waiting for death because that was man's expectation. When all hope was lost, when their strength and strategies failed, then, God stepped in. He brings hope into a hopeless situation. He took over the battle and gave His people victory without them firing a shot. God still fights for His children. And it may not necessarily be at a time and in the way we expects we ought to know by now that

WHAT IS THE MEASURE OF YOUR WEALTH?

And He said unto them, Take head, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth. Luke 12:15 In our world, people define success on the basis of the one's material acquisition. You are assessed on the basis of the number of houses and cars you own, the cloths you wear and the caliber of friends you have. The story of the rich man in the Bible Luke 12:13-21, The rich man had everything going well for him. He was a successful farmer. He was the envy of neighbours and colleagues. But God said he was a fool in Luke 12:20, Rich fool? Yes. Why? Because he had no place for God, no thought of eternity in all his plans.He was therefore a poor rich man in the sight of the Almighty. He made his wealth his god but it was not able to deliver him when death came knocking. The owner of His soul came at a time he never expected. He thought he had many more years to enjoy at a time he never expected. He thought he had many more years to enjoy life. What a fool. Act now and surrender your life to Jesus so that your name will not included in the list of fools forever. Tomorrow may be too late repent now.

YOU ARE NOT ALONE

For the eyes of the Lord are over the. righteous and His ears are open unto their prayers, but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil, 1Peter 3:12 Are you been persecuted because of your work in the House of God? Do people hate you just because of your faithfulness to your Father in heaven? Are you loathed just because you are always happy? And do they speak evil of you behind your back because of how important you took the work of God? Do not worry beloved, and never be frightened. Remeber that you are not alone, you are not of the same understanding and it Is better to suffer for doing good than for the evil. 1 Peter 3:13 says that "who is he that will harm you, if you be followers of that which is good? Beloved, Jesus Himself encouraged us to suffer for something good because the reward is more than what you could ever imagine. An eternal enjoyment in the presence of your Father. Joseph the dreamer just like the brothers named him suffered in the hands of His own family and he ended up being their saviour. Jesus Christ himself suffered in the hands of His own people too and He was justified in the end. Brethren, are you facing one persecution or another, Look up to God. Never change who you are in Christ for anybody. Never move away from your heavenly father just because of what people are saying about you. Let them call you all sorts of name but you know you have a greater name in heaven; Beloved are you ready to be called that name? Do not give up on God for He will never give up on you. The Lord will continue to strengthen you. You will not fail the Christian race, in the name of Jesus. Hold on, for your reward is on the way.

THE SPIRIT OF ZIKLAG

In the face of trouble, where do you draw your strength? When you are faced with depression and different afflictions, where do you look? When the family turned their back on you, who do you face? When the people you confided in decided to reveal your secret out just to put you to shame, who do you turn to? These are the questions we need to be asking ourselves often because they are the things that Christians or anyone that is born of a man will mostly passed through problems, and evidence of its can be seen in the book of psalm and he did not allow is problem to consume him. The book of Thessalonians 5:18 says; in everything, give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. God did not say you will not face trials and tribulations but He reassured us in the book of John 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. Always look unto Jesus to renew your strength, He is always there for you.

RECEIVE JESUS

But as many as received him, to them gave the power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name. John 1:12 The Bible is filled with promises for those who love God. Hundreds of times God reiterates the benefits and rewards both in this life and our eternal inheritance. Many inheritance is in the bible and the children of God are not claiming it at all. These are there to show and prove to us that God does indeed loves us. God continuously expresses His love towards us in so many ways. He even showed it by allowing His only begotten Son to be beaten and stabbed and nailed on the cross for us. Just because of His great love for us. Since we know that God is seeking our good, we are then freed from our self centered world view and can then put our focus on expressing our love towards God. Almost always, God gives a command with a promise. We do not have to ask for the promises, God has already stated His desire to give us what He promised. Do not struggle for anything. Just do the right thing and all of those promises will be yours. We need to ask God to work within us so that we can do His will and keep His commands. God has expressed the depth of His love towards us so that we can have confidence to die to ourselves and seek God's will. We give ourselves and seek God's will. We give ourselves to God knowing that He has given and continue to give of Him to us. John 3:16 says: For God so loved the world that he gave is only begotten son that who so ever believe in him will not perish but have everlasting life. Now the present question is, are you willing to love God to accomplish His plan in your life and rest in the confidence that God already has provided for your satisfaction. Seek God's kingdom and His righteousness and He will prove His promises to you.

PROPHECY IS PREFERRED TO GIFT OF TONGUES

Follow after Charity, and desire spirtual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy. For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men,but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries. But he that prophesieth speakth unto men to edification and exhortation, and comfort.He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church. I would that ye all spake with tongue but rather that ye prophesied: for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying. Now brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either by revelation or by knowledge, or by prophesying, or by doctrine? And even things without life giving sound, whether pipe or harp, except they give a distinction in the sounds,how shall it be known what is piped or what is harped? For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle? So likewise ye, except ye utter by the tongue words easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? For ye shall speak into the air. There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without signification. Therefore I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be unto him that speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh shall be a barbarian unto me. Even so ye forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church. Where fore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret. For if I pray in an unknown tongue my spirit prayeth, but by understanding is unfruitful. What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with understanding also. I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all: Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue. Brethren, be not children in understanding: how be it in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men. In the law it is written, With men of other tongues and other lips will I speak unto this people; and yet for all that will they not hear me, saith the Lord. Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them which believe. If therefore the whole church be come together into one place,and all speak with tongues, and there come in those that are unlearned, or unbelievers, will they not say that ye are mad? But if all prophesy, and there come in one that believeth not, or one unlearned, he is convinced of all, he is judged of all: And thus are the secrets of his heart made manifest; and so falling down on his face he will worship God, and report that God is in you of a truth. How is it then, brethren? When ye come togther, everyone of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying. If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course; and let one interpret. But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God. Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge. If any thing be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace, as in all churches of the saints. For we are not as many which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you my love be with you all in Christ Jesus Amen.

THE WORLD GREATEST SIN IS LOVE

Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not Love, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not Love, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not Love, it profiteth me nothing. Love suffereth long, and is kind;Love envieth not; Love vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, Love doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but reoiceth in the truth. Beareth all things.beliveth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Love never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether their be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. But when that which is in part shall be done away. When I was a child, I spake as a chils, but when I became a man a put away childish things. For now we see through a glass darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. And now abideth faith, hope, Love, these three; but the greatest of these is Love.

ANTI CHRIST

As it is written,behold, I lay in Zion a stumbling stone and rock of offence and whosoever believeth on Him shall not be ashamed. You can call the devil many names but not a fool. He has never been a fool from the day he was casted down from heaven to earth His kingdom is highly organised and the bible said that one third of the angels followed him down to earth. Satan rebelled and was cast out of heaven. Isaiah 14:12-13 says how art thou fallen from heaven, o Lucifer, son of the morning! How art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nation's! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will asend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north". Satan has a very intelligent force that are not easily dealt with if you are not careful. The powers we are wrestling against are not flesh and blood, they are principalities, powers, rulers of darkness of this world,and spiritual wickedness in high places Eph 6:12. These powers are very persistent and consistent in attacking the children of God. If you do not send them out properly, they will come back with more powers to regain their positions. These agents are everywhere and can be anybody. God wants you to reaffirm your stand in him. Devil has already changed some of the Christians. Some are not serving the Lord again but serving Satan and they are not fully aware of it. Most are waiting to see the physical 666 numnber before they can believe there is anti-christ.Do not be deceived. Make up your mind today and follow Jesus the Author and the finisher of your faith.
