TOPIC: ARE
YOU PLANNING TO GO TO HEAVEN ALONE? SUNDAY
SEMPTEMBER 3
TEXT: Matthew 9:35-38
KEY
VERSE:
Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort
with all longsuffering and doctrine. 2 Timothy 4:2
Are
you going to heaven alone? Did Jesus die for you alone? Why shouldn’t you be
concerned about the spiritual state of people around you? When are you going to
awake to the reality that your relations are not going to Heaven because their
names are not in the Lamb’s Book of Life? When are you going to become
conscious of the fact that your colleagues in your work place are just there in
the shadows of today, and that in a little while eternity shall envelop them in
the torments of hell fire? When are you going to awake to the reality that all
these people you meet in the market are just ghost beings waiting to be pushed
into the abyss of hell? Will you not arise in compassion for souls of men? Will
you not do something to rescue perishing souls of men, women, youths and
children?
Are You Fearing
To Tell A Dying Person The Truth? Why are you respecting a dying person? Why are
you bothering about their anger? Why are you ashamed to tell them the message?
Why are you familiarizing so much with your neighbour that you are not able to
introduce Jesus to him? You have the full gospel; will you not arise to pluck
perishing souls out of the fire of hell?
Woe
unto you if you preach not the gospel! God wants us to awake to real passion as
Paul: “For
though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid
upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!” – 1 Corinthians. 9:16. Are you a child
of God? Do you know that woe is unto you if you preach not the Gospel? Let me
tell you, Mordecai told Esther (Esther 4: 13-14 Paraphrased): “Esther what do you mean? We are perishing
here and you are seating at ease in the king’s palace thinking that you are a
queen and that the king will not allow you to be killed? Are you thinking that
you are going to be saved; that if we all die you will remain? God forbid!”
Who told you that you are going to be saved if
you live among sinners – seeing them crying out of their sinful burden, going
the way of hell – and you fold your hands, mocking and saying “I am saved; thank God for my soul?” If
you want real salvation, to be free from the blood of men, go and redeem them.
Run after them and labour. That’s the reason why you’re left on earth.
Ezekiel
33:7-8 “So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman
unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and
warn them from me. When I say unto the wicked, O wicked
man, thou shalt surely die; if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his
way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at
thine hand.”
Thought for the
day:
There is no fear in love. Preach without inhibitions.
Song for the day: Where He leads me I
will follow…
