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!

Today is the day you have, Tomorrow may be too late

When I heard about the plane crash last Saturday in Ghana, I asked myself the question that most Christians don’t know the answer today. WHERE WOULD THEY SPEND ETERNITY? I was thinking and praying after church when I heard another plane crash in Lagos, Nigeria where over 140 people who told their families “I would be back” never came back. Some people believe God could have done something since He knows the end from the beginning. Well! He is the owner of our lives, besides it is appointed for a man to die once. After that, judgment. Death awaits most of us. The truth is we don’t know how we are going to die and When. Only God knows. The HOW and WHEN, no one knows.

I cried yesterday for the Lost souls as I watched the news. BBC interviewed one top official and all he could say was “everything is under control”. People are dying and all leaders could say is everything is under control. I have been following what is happening in Syria. People are dying because of one person’s crave for power. World leaders don’t have answers to our questions anymore. We are all naked but God protects His own.

You don’t how and when you are going to die. If you had been among those who passed away yesterday, where would you have been now? Jesus may tarry but you can die at anytime. Search your life today. Are there areas you need to change? Remember God wants all to repent. Today is the day you have, Tomorrow may be too late. Even Now is the hour you have. The next hour, or minute may be too late. Life on earth is too short. Take advantage of the Grace NOW!

Pray this prayer:
Lord Jesus, I repent of my sins. Come into my heart. I don’t want to spent eternity in the lake of fire, where there would be weeping and gnashing of teeth. I choose to live for You today. Direct my path, and guard me on the Narrow way to eternal glory. You died for me so help me to live for You, and God’s Kingdom. I thank you for saving me today, and for making what was wrong right. I bless Your Holy Name, and I know you are ONE with The Father.
Amen

Where will You spend ETERNITY

Posted on by Uplifting Christ

Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment, so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people; and He will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for Him. Hebrews 9:27-28

The question today is ARE YOU WAITING FOR HIM? Keep watching because you do not know the day or the hour.

Life without Christ is like a shattered dream. So often we talk about how Peter denied Jesus. Hey! We do worse sometimes. We profess with out mouths that we love Him yet we go against what He wants from us. We do worse; Stealing, bribery, lying, backbiting, gossiping, sexual immorality, abortion, robbery, cheating, gambling, corruption, hatred, homosexuality, lesbianism, etc. It is very common to see a Christian cheating an unbeliever, a person he is supposed to win for Christ.  And he would use the same money to pay for his tithe. Remember, the Lord patience means salvation. He doesn’t want any of us to perish. WHAT SHALL IT PROFIT YOU IF YOU GAIN THE WORLD AND LOSE YOUR SOUL? What can you give in exchange for your soul? We are told by our Lord Jesus to let our LIGHTS shine before men, so that they may give glory to the Father.
Beloved, there is life after death. We are on transit and very soon, the trumpet will sound for our departure to the beautiful city. Jesus is coming to take us home. In John 14:2, He said “in my Father’s house are many rooms…I am going there to prepare a place for you”. The body you see today will pass away very soon but your soul will remain. In my note “ONE THING”, I stated that we can only choose one thing at a time. Yeah! You can either choose Heaven or Hell. Heaven is real, so is Hell.

When you sow good seeds, you would reap good fruits. However, when your seeds are bad, your fruits would be bad. A word to the wise is enough.

Be sure to make the right decision now? Do you know today can be your last day on earth? So don’t waste time. Seek the Lord while he may be found. There would come a day that you may wish to live all for Jesus but it would be too late. Jesus may tarry but you can die at any time. The Word of God says that it is appointed for man to die once, after death, Judgement. Choose you this day how you are going to live your life. Would it be good, which would take you to heaven, or bad which would lead you to hell? The scripture tells us Narrow is the way that leads to Heaven, and few people are on the way. I pray you be among the few people that are making it on that way.  Your life is a gift of trust. You are going to be held accountable on the last day. Heaven is real, so is hell.

WHERE WILL YOU SPEND ETERNITY?

I will close with this song by Eli­sha A. Hoff­man & John H. Ten­ney

Where will you spend eternity?
This question comes to you and me!
Tell me, what shall your answer be?
Where will you spend eternity?
Eternity! eternity!
Where will you spend eternity?

Many are choosing Christ today,
Turning from all their sins away;
Heav’n shall their happy portion be;
Where will you spend eternity?
Eternity! eternity!
Where will you spend eternity?

Leaving the straight and narrow way,
Going the downward road today,
Sad will their final ending be,
Lost thro’ a long eternity!
Eternity! eternity!
Lost thro’ a long eternity!

Repent, believe, this very hour,
Trust in the Savior’s grace and power,
Then will your joyous answer be,
Saved thro’ a long eternity!
Eternity! eternity!
Saved thro’ a long eternity!
