DON’T SEEK TO GO TO HEAVEN ALONE

God bless you for taking the time to study.

TOPIC: DON’T SEEK TO GO TO HEAVEN ALONE.  

TEXT: LUKE 13:22-24 

THURSDAY OCTOBER 13TH

Key verse: Proverbs 11:30. The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls are wise. 
In our text today, Jesus admonishes us to strive when it comes to the issue of heaven but come to think of it; are we going to heaven alone? Did Jesus die for us alone? Why shouldn’t we be concerned indeed? Why is the entire world perishing around us? When are we going to awake to the reality that our relations are not going to heaven because their names are not in the book of life? We are just seeing them on earth. 
When are you going to become conscious of the fact that your colleagues in your workplace are just there in the shadows of today and that in a little while eternity shall envelop them in the torments of hellfire? When are you going to awake to the reality that all these people you meet in the market are like doomed people waiting to be pushed into the abyss? Arise in compassion, in passion for the souls of men, and get them saved in Christ. Come on! Are you going to heaven alone? Then why are you not waking up to make sure you cry and cry to God for the perishing souls of men, women youths, and children?
Jude 22-23 22 And of some have compassion, making a difference: 23 And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
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. As 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 (paraphrased) “Esther, what do you mean? We are perishing here and you are sitting at ease in the King's palace thinking that you’re a queen and that the king cannot permit you to be killed? Are you thinking that you are going to be saved; that if we all die you will remain? God forbid! Esther 4:13-14

Thought for the day: Work hard to carry others along with you to heaven.

Song for the day: Must I go empty-handed … 

Bible reading for the day: 
Isaiah 50-52; 1Thessalonians 1 #Horemow.

Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern Text: Mark 16: 17 – 20 Wednesday May 8th Key verse: Obadiah 17 “Upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.” God has prepared to direct us on holy service unto Himself. He tells us when the lives and services of people are corrupt because from the heart of men proceed the works they do. When people are righteous and holy, their service is also righteous and holy. Hence, the word says, make the people holy then their service will be holy, so if you accept to live a life of holiness, then the fruit of your service will be holy. So, it is very important to accept the life of holiness because the God that made you is holy; He will give you grace to be holy. You just make up your mind to be holy. Do not accept that no man can be holy; then Jesus came for nothing, Jes...

God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider  Sunday May 12th Text: Jeremiah 3: 15 – 17 Key verse: Ezekiel 33: 11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel.  Receive the word that will change you, restore you, reestablish you and give you back the hope of eternal life. Come back! The Lord is pleading. Can you see the effort of God in your life? And can you see madness in your life; resisting every effort God is making. God is calling you. Retrace your ways. Follow the good old way. Go and confess those things, do not keep them. Your problem is, you want to serve God but you have not confessed your sins openly because of shame, fear and  pride which shall be dissolved in hell. That is where your problem is. Yes, you wa...
