Now! 2


“How do I know my call?” Are you presently asking this question? May I ask you: "where do you hope to spend eternity?" The choice to spend it in either of two places (heaven or hell) is made whilst we are here on earth. If you have made the choice to spend it with the Lord then you must do well to live by His principles here on earth! You might wonder how this is relevant to the question at hand. Do understand that a call was given to everyone that believes in Him to go and make disciples of ALL nations; the Judgement of the nations by Christ in Matthew 25:31-46 is based on this mandate. We have not been saved to sit in huddles and comfortable pews but to go forth and MAKE disciples of men. Unfortunately, somewhere along the way, the cause for which Jesus Christ died has become well…like the Iditarod, a spectator sport, lots of activity but no thoughts about the lives at stake… No wonder so many sit gripe and whine about what their call is or should be when the primary call they have neglected. It was in his making disciples that Paul was given the mandate to go to the Gentiles. What are you doing to advance the Kingdom that you are desiring a ‘special call’? Friend the Bible tells us in Ecclesiastes 11:4, 6 “One who watches the wind will not sow, and the one who looks at the clouds will not reap...In the morning sow your seed, and at evening do not let your hand rest, because you don't know which will succeed, whether one or the other; or if both of them will be equally good.” Stop waiting for that special moment that you will be announced to the world; start the work NOW! Jesus Christ gave a parable in Luke 10:25-37 that encapsulates what we have been called to do as His followers. Just like in the parable, so many have left Jerusalem (the Presence of God) to go down to Jericho (the world). As a result, so many became prey of darkness. No wonder the Bible says: darkness covers the earth, gross darkness its people!  We cannot be hypocritical like the Priest and Levite in the parable and ignore the people we come across daily that are beaten and left on the road to die. Just like the Good Samaritan, we must pull off the road and help them. Those of us who have been saved by the serum of the Gospel are responsible before God to get that serum to those who are going to die without it. This calls for a deliberate and conscious discipling of the people! Jesus Christ expects that the driving passion of His people and His church will be the passion that kept Him on the cross: “…to seek and save the lost’’ Luke 19:10. In a very real sense, we do hold their eternities in our hand. The time is Now, do respond to the CALL! The GRACE to respond is released to you in Jesus Christ name.

You Are What Matters Most To Jesus Christ

 "When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to him and said, “I am God Almighty; Walk [habitually] before Me [with integrity, knowing that you are always in My presence], and be blameless and complete [in obedience to Me]" (Genesis 17:1, AMP).        A while back, I overheard a conversation between two young men; both were wondering how a person can be and remain holy in a world that daily encourages you to exhibit and enjoy every self-indulgent pleasure one desires. Of course, they knew the Scripture in Psalm 119:9-11, which describes how a young man can keep his way pure, but they feel it is increasingly becoming difficult to discern the way of the Lord from the world system. To them, many Pastors and children of God have been won over by the kingdom of darkness to subvert the principles of God as written in the Bible.           They were not wrong, in light of some of the teaching coming from the pulpits! The above ...

Finding True Love

         From the beginning of time, God Almighty has sought various means of communicating His thoughts and desires to humanity. Through the very things He has created around us, He clearly reveals His divine nature and our predestined purposes as the object of His love to those who care enough to pay attention.  His goal has always been to set men free from all that limits them from experiencing an abundant life. There is no doubt that the present life as we know it, with all its hurts, pains and heartbreak was never meant to be this way; indeed the enemy has done this.         Friends, if He created the earth with hidden and precious treasures, then how much more you? The enemy, on the other hand, has worked overtime to create things that bind, blind, limit, and ultimately stop us from fulfilling our God-given destinies. His most successful strategies are those which are subtle and appeal to our fleshly desires, just as...

The Perverted Love Of St Valentine's Day

         We live in a world where those who suppress the truth have the loudest voices. They are more persuasive in their arguments because their arguments sound logical and well-reasoned. However, the fact that an argument is loud and logical does not necessarily mean it is the truth. At the same time, the fact that an argument is loud and logical does not mean it is of God. So many claim they do not care where it originates from, but they agree with and have bought into its message. If that is your stance, then you need to hear this because what you believe and have bought into is a lie. Remember, ignorance is not bliss but a dangerous position to occupy as many ‘ignorants’ abound in hell!        The argument for celebrating St. Valentine's Day is loud and sounds logical but it is not the truth, nor is it of God! It is not of God because the love that Jesus Christ portrays carries within it the responsibility of self-sacrifice whilst that o...
