SOME WHEAT HAVE TURNED INTO TARES

Therefore as the tares are gathered and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of this age. (Matthew 13:40 NKJV)

In the parable of the tares and wheat Jesus explained that The Son of Man is the farmer who planted the good seed. The field is the world, and the good seeds represent the people of the Kingdom. The tares are the people who belong to the evil one. The enemy who planted the tares among the wheat is the devil.

The tares are people who belong to the evil one. Satan is the evil one and He is after your soul. One thing you should know is that the tares live their lives to please him that is why we see people who do evil everyday. You can identify them by their fruit, that is, by the way they act. (Matthew 7:16 NLT)
For they do not sleep unless they have done evil; And their sleep is taken away unless they make someone fall. (Proverbs 4:16 NKJV)

Paul said in 1 Corinthians that

Don’t you realize that those who do wrong will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Don’t fool yourselves. Those who indulge in sexual sin, or who worship idols, or commit adultery, or are male prostitutes, or practice homosexuality, or are thieves, or greedy people, or drunkards, or are abusive, or cheat people—none of these will inherit the Kingdom of God. (1 Corinthians 6:9, 10 NLT)

The tares follow the desires of the flesh and they will not enter the kingdom of God. The scripture says

When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, the results are very clear: sexual immorality, impurity, lustful pleasures, idolatry, sorcery, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissension, division, envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other sins like these. Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God. (Galatians 5:19-21 NLT)

Some people were once wheat but they have turned into tares. They used to love the things of God but now they live to please Satan. They used to be the first in Church but now they prefer to watch football match, visit friends, do business, or even do nothing on Service day. They loved the Word of God but now they love the World. They used to preach the Word but now they are preaching the world. For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world. (I John 2:16 NKJV)

Others call themselves Christians but their deeds are evil. They don’t obey God’s commandments and believe that their constant church going, reading of the Bible, and fasting and praying will warrant their going to Heaven. Jesus said “Not everyone who calls out to me, ‘Lord! Lord!’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter. On judgment day many will say to me, ‘Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.’ But I will reply, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God’s laws.’ (Matthew 7:21-23 NLT)

I came to tell to you that if you practice any of the things Paul mentioned in 1 Corinthians 6:9,10 and in Galatians 5:19-21, you have turned away. You are on the wrong path that leads to eternal destruction so Repent. Repent because God has set a day when the tares would be gathered and burned in fire. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

STAND FOR THE TRUTH

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?

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.
