Posted on by Uplifting Christ

imagesYour greatest success or achievement ( on earth) is WINNING SOUL(S) for God’s Kingdom. Any other thing you would ever achieve is temporal and reserved for FIRE BUT the SOUL(S) you win for Christ live(s) forever. That should make you happy.

  • But by the same word the present heavens and earth have been stored up (reserved) for fire, being kept until the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly people. (2 Peter 3:7, AMPC)
  • The fruit of the [uncompromisingly] righteous is a tree of life, and he who is wise captures human lives [for God, as a fisher of men—he gathers and receives them for eternity]. (Proverbs 11:30, AMPC)
  • In the same way, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents [that is, changes his inner self—his old way of thinking, regrets past sins, lives his life in a way that proves repentance; and seeks God’s purpose for his life].” (Luke 15:10, AMP)

Don’t lie to each other, for you have stripped off your old sinful nature and all its wicked deeds. (Colossians 3:9 NLT)

It is difficult to discern who is telling the truth. People seem to seek their own interests ignoring the interests of their neighbours. Some believers fabricate lies to make money, or to get what they want. They easily forget what Jesus said that “For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his life [his blessed life in the kingdom of God]? Or what would a man give as an exchange for his [blessed] life [in the kingdom of God]?”(Matthew 16:26 AMP).

The world system is such that Everyone lies to his neighbor; their flattering lips speak with deception. (Psalms 12:2 NIV84). This was how we once lived but now we are in Christ. He is the Truth. Jesus spoke the truth without being intimidated by any man so as His followers, we always have to tell the truth without any intimidation. When Pilate said, “So you are a king?” Jesus responded, “You say I am a king. Actually, I was born and came into the world to testify to the truth. All who love the truth recognize that what I say is true.” (John 18:37 NLT)?. Do not worry about who will be offended when you tell the truth after all it is God you are pleasing not man. If God is for us, who can be against us?
The truth should be the mark of every christian. when people around you are lying to each other, you must let your light shine.

all liars (those who knowingly convey untruth by word or deed)–[all of these shall have] their part in the lake that blazes with fire and brimstone. (Revelation 21:8 AMP)

Hell is the final destination for liars. Therefore do not lie to your neighbour. Be truthful and do not compromise your integrity. Very soon, the King of kings will come for His own. Will He find you truthful? Jesus could come on a day you choose to lie. So when you hold your phone to make calls, say nothing but the truth. when you stand before your congregation, say nothing but the truth. When you meet your business partners, say nothing but the truth. When you are in the midst of friends, say nothing but the truth. Whatever you do, wherever you go, whoever you meet, know that God is watching you and He wants you to say nothing but the truth.

Conclusion;
It is difficult to discern who is telling the truth. The world system is such that Everyone lies to his neighbour. when people around you are lying to each other, you must let your light shine. Jesus spoke the truth without being intimidated by any man. Don’t be concerned about who will offended when you speak the truth. Hell is the final destination for liars. As a result, Whatever you do, wherever you go, whoever you meet, know that God is watching you and He wants you to say nothing but the truth.

God bless you!

WHAT ARE YOU DOING FOR HIS KINGDOM?

Posted on by Uplifting Christ

His KingdomFor I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11.

God’s plans for you this year is to prosper you and to give you hope and the future you seek. I believe there would be no more struggle this year in Jesus’ Name. The scripture says Faith without deeds is dead. This means that unless faith produces good deeds, it is dead and useless. The truth is God has plans for you but you wouldn’t be able to enjoy these benefits if you don’t put your faith to work.

I believe there are many things you want from God this year. I will encourage you to pray about them, believe you have received them, and they will be yours. Mark 11:24. God will supply all your needs this year but let me ask you this question;

What are you doing for His Kingdom this year?

So often we focus on our needs. God give me this and that but we forget to do what He wants from us. He wants us to reach out to lost souls. There are so many people out there who don’t know the eternal consequences for their actions. How many souls are you going to win for His Kingdom? How many people would you cloth? How many people would you feed? How many homeless would you provide shelter? How many people would you save from Hell? In Matthew 6:33, Jesus said “Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.”

Friend, Enter through the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and spacious and broad is the way that leads away to destruction, and many are those who are entering through it. Matthew 7:13. The souls for whom Christ died are on their way to eternal destruction. Satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe. They are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News. They don’t understand this message about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God. 2 Corinthians 4:4 NLT. This has made our task urgent and important. We must win them for Christ. If you bring the one next to you, and I bring the one next to me, in no time at all we will have them all. So let us win them one by one in 2013.
