WHY SIN WHEN JESUS CAN GIVE YOU ALL THINGS?

-
Today I watched half-awake a crime investigation on cable television about a man in England who murdered an elderly couple he was doing business with all because he wanted their money.

Police investigations found him trying to cash a cheque for 27,000 British pounds sterling using the late lady's forged signature.

I then thought to myself and said aloud, why does one have to steal when the Lord Jesus Christ can do all things for us?

I repeated the statement again to my wife and she agreed. The Bible says all things are possible for the individual who has faith or who believes - Mark 9:23.

This statement by our Lord Jesus Christ is very profound and every Christian ought to meditate deeply on it. Jesus did not say some things but ALL THINGS are possible for the individual who has faith.

The question is, why exactly do you want in life? If all things are possible when you have faith, it means all things you can get.

However, it is necessary to note also that our Lord Jesus Christ stated in Mark 8:36, "For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his own soul?"

What this means is that one can pursue all the wealth of this world, obtain it and then die and go to hell forever!

These two profound statements from the Lord Jesus Christ sound contradictory, for He says anyone who believes can get anything he or she wants and at the same time He says what does it profit one to gain everything and then die and go to hell?

Dear friend, this is why one must make a careful and diligent study of God's Word in the Holy Bible to gain wisdom and understanding by the power of the Holy Spirit - 1 John 2:25-27.

Jesus makes another profound statement concerning worry, anxiety and the quest to satisfy our longings and desires for the issues of life. Jesus asks us in Matthew 6:27, "Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?"

He further tells us in verse 31-34, "Therefore, do not worry, saying, what shall we eat? or what shall we drink? or what shall we wear?

For after all these things the gentiles (unbelievers) seek. For your Heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.

But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for today is its own trouble."

What this should tell a Christian is that the Kingdom of God and His righteousness is what should be our priority focus and Jesus will give us every other thing we need in this life.

We don't have to steal, cheat, murder, lie or engage in immorality to earn a living. When you seek after God's Kingdom and His righteousness, you will discover truths that cannot be found elsewhere.

Why and where do you seek this? First, you must believe there is a God Who alone can do all things, Who has revealed His truth in His Word found only in one place - The Holy Bible.

You must study the Word of God and there by the help of God's Holy Spirit you will discover mysteries that are given to God's children, the Christians who believe in Him, who believe in His Word (our Lord Jesus Christ) and who believe in His Holy Spirit.

You will discover that the Word of God in the Holy Bible contains several promises that are activated in a Christian's life only by faith or belief and trust in the eternal nature of God's Word that is forever settled in heaven and has the same efficacy today and even in a billion years’ time as when God first revealed it thousands of years ago.

You will discover what is called creative miracles, miracles that take place only in the name of Jesus Christ and which for instance, cause a limb to grow, a blind eye to see, a deaf ear to hear, a dumb lip to speak, a terminally ill person to be instantly healed, a poor person to become a billionaire, a cripple to walk, internally damaged or diseased organs to be totally healed without surgery!!

You will discover that the current pain and hardship in today's world started when our first parents Adam and Eve disobeyed God's commands and allowed satan to deceive them into sin that brought death into the world and disconnected mankind spiritually from God.

You will discover the complete joy of knowing Jesus Christ the Son of God and Messiah Who came to this earth as a human being to die a most horrible death for our sins to reconcile mankind back to God. Jesus did this because of His love for us even while we were sinners.

You will discover that the individual who sincerely and genuinely allows Christ Jesus into his or her life will receive blessings in this world and eventually die to go to spend eternity with Jesus in heaven.

You will discover that anyone who rejects the Gospel message of repentance and salvation found only in Jesus Christ will experience a lot of crises here on earth and eventually die and end up forever in Hell.

Dear friend, having read thus far, you will have discovered that it is best to know Jesus Christ, repent of your sins, give your life to Christ, acknowledge Him as your Messiah and obey Him wholeheartedly.

You will also have discovered that you do not have to live in sin since Jesus Christ has promised you so many things He alone can give you here on earth if you ask Him in prayer by faith including eternity with Him forever in heaven.

So, what is your decision?

Dear friend, Jesus Christ is coming very, very soon to take those who are His in Rapture and leave those who have rejected Him to be at the mercy, torture and wickedness of satan for 7 whole years!!

I and my household personally declare for Jesus Christ, which is why I am taking time by His grace and Holy Spirit to send you this message to encourage you to also declare for Him and see what He alone can do in your life.

May the good Lord bless you as you heed His Word today, act on it and share with others in Jesus' Most Righteous Name, Amen.

ARE YOU A STUMBLING BLOCK TO THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST?

Romans 14:12-13 (AMPC)   “ And so each of us shall give an account of himself [give an answer in reference to judgment] to God.   13 Then let us no more criticize and blame and pass judgment on one another, but rather decide and endeavour never to put a stumbling block or an obstacle or a hindrance in the way of a brother.”   Dear people of God, a few years ago, we were asked to share invitation flyers to the public in an area where one of our local church parishes was to open newly.   I recall giving one of the flyers to a lady who asked me the name of the church and when I mentioned it, she said “God forbid.” When I asked why she rejected the flyer, she did not respond.   Obviously, some member of the church she knows must have caused her offence and this stirred up hatred in her for the church.   Recently, a friend told me how in his church the pastor made a commitment towards a church project but never fulfilled it.   It ha...

HOW DO YOU CONTROL VIOLENCE IN PEOPLE?

Hebrews 12:14 (AMPC)  “ Strive to live in peace with everybody and pursue that consecration  and holiness without which no one will [ever] see the Lord.”   Dear people of God, I read sometime in December 2019 ago of a police inspector in Nigeria who shot and killed his colleague, a corporal, and the same shot injured another colleague, a deputy Superintendent of police after which the police inspector took his own life.   What could have led to such violence?   I also read of another unfortunate story of a lady killed December 25, 2019, Christmas Day, by her husband who had beaten her to a coma and then ran away after discovering what he had done. The police have since found and arrested him.   Reports have it that the man was fond of beating his late wife at the slightest provocation, which has eventually led to her death in this latest incident.   Again, what could have caused this incessant violence?   Medical experts claim that humans have 2 s...

GOD CANNOT VIOLATE HIS WORD

-
  Psalm 89:34  “My covenant I will not violate, nor will I alter the utterance of My lips.” Dear people of God, today’s lead Bible text in Psalm 89:34 is a profound statement by God Almighty and Father of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. What this statement from God means is that there is nothing He has said in His Word that He will fail to perform. A sensible Christian who understands this will look for what God has said by careful, meditative study of God’s Word found only in the Holy Bible, thank God joyously for it, claim it and God will surely perform what His Word has stated. I make bold to say here that the Christian who does not study the Word of God in the Holy Bible to claim the promises therein is only cheating himself of herself. Jesus Christ in one of His divine visits to late Pastor Kenneth E. Hagin (while alive on earth) told him that there are many Christians who are sincere and living right but they do not get what they ask for in pra...
