HOW DO YOU TREAT THE ASSIGNMENT GOD HAS GIVEN YOU?

-

 
JEREMIAH 48:10 (AMPC)
 
“Cursed be he who does the work of the Lord negligently [with slackness, deceitfully]; and cursed be he who keeps back his sword from blood [in executing judgment pronounced by the Lord].”
 
 
Dear people of God, every Christian is commissioned by Christ Jesus into ministry to take the Gospel to all nations (Mark 16:15-16).
 
Everyone has their individual roles given by the Holy Spirit as apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers for the equipping of the saints (Christians) for the work of ministry.
 
Unfortunately, many take this all-important work of God for granted because for them it is optional while chasing money to solve their earthly problems is of more value.
 
As far as God is concerned, absolutely nothing in this world is more important than the salvation of the souls of all humans.
 
God can surely do without anyone to accomplish His Divine purpose. However, He has chosen in His Divine plan to work with His children, the Christians, to appreciate His saving them to also work with Him to save lost souls.
 
To accomplish this, the Lord has handed over His authority on the earth to the Church as seen in Matthew 28:18-20 to enable them surmount any hurdles encountered in the ministry.
 
Dear friend, unless they repent and begin to do what God has commanded in His Word, many Christians are going to end up in an eternal damnation in HELL.
 
There is no excuse whatsoever for failing to do what God has directed. Has God given you a revelation message for a person or group of persons?
 
Please go and deliver the message to them.
 
It does not matter whether they believe or not because God knows who would believe and repent and who would reject the message and refuse to repent.
 
Don’t behave like Jonah who refused to go and warn the Ninevites because Jonah understood God’s unending mercy that He would relent in His judgement over them once they repented.
 
Prove to God that you love Him by obeying His command to share the Gospel with others. In whatever ministry God has called you as stated earlier, you can show Him love and obedience in a number of ways:
 
(1) Pray genuinely to God to show you what ministry He has called you into and ask for His grace to function fully when He reveals it to you.
 
(2) Study the Bible daily, meditate, pray and confess what is stated therein so that the implanted or rooted or engrafted Word of God can feed your soul with information you can share with others during evangelism.
 
(3) Join a team of evangelists to take the Gospel to others on a regular schedule even if you are a shy person. Ask God to give you courage as you learn from more experienced members of the team so you can engage others within your own sphere of influence with time.
 
Dear friend, evangelism is the heartbeat of the Lord Jesus Christ so don’t ever joke with this all-important task. Ensure you engage in evangelism on a weekly regular schedule and any time an opportunity presents itself outside of your regular schedule wherever you are.
 
Telling other about Jesus Christ, His sacrificial death for our sins and resurrection 3 days later, Repentance and Salvation found only in Jesus Christ, the eternal danger in rejecting the Gospel message and remaining in sin is one of the greatest act of love and service you can do for the body of Christ.
 
(4) Pay your tithes COMPULSORILY – tithe is 10% of income from salary, 10% from profit of a business and 10% from any money anyone with a legitimate source of income blesses you with.
 
Put God first by paying your tithes and don’t ever joke with this because this is the ONLY way a genuine Christian can prosper financially in this life.
 
Tithe is for the work of the Gospel and another great act of love and service a Christian shows towards God our Creator. It is a covenant you have with God so you MUST fulfil your own part of the covenant and pay because God would surely fulfil His part of the covenant as stated in Malachi 3:10-12.
 
Remember that God only accepts tithes from legitimate and righteous labours. Don’t give tithes from proceeds of crime or immorality or any business God forbids because that becomes an abomination.
 
Before engaging in any business or paid employment, ask God in prayer to confirm if He accepts such type of business so you don’t waste your time and resources in a business that offends Him with a huge risk to your soul.
 
Unfortunately, many Christians do not understand that those who do not pay tithes are under a curse from God (Malachi 3:9) and no tithe defaulter will enter heaven because they are spiritually defiled – Revelation 21:27.
 
(5) Contribute to church projects. Every financial contribution you invest in God’s work always carries a reciprocal and greater reward from God.
 
(6) As much as you can, show love to others and help those who are in need. Help comes through various ways and not just financially as many would believe by this preceding statement.
 
Make it your own aim to be a giver and not just a receiver of help from others. Help could be financial, counselling, prayer, hospital visits, prison visits, etc.
 
(7) Unless there is a genuine reason you are sure God accepts, do ensure to attend meetings called in respect of God’s work and get there on time too. Avoid fixing other engagements at the same time allotted for any meeting involving God’s work.
 
Dear friend, every work done in God’s service is of greatest value to Him and carries a reward – 1 Corinthians 15:58.
 
You would do yourself the greatest favour if you focus first and foremost on these things so God can also take care of your own personal needs because you can NEVER outgive God.
 
Do your God-given work with diligence and all seriousness of heart because just as we are told in today’s lead Holy Bible text in Jeremiah 48:10, there is a curse on anyone who handles God’s business in a sloppy manner.
 
Don’t also use God’s work as a reason to defraud, deceive or oppress others because that also carries a curse.
 
Every Christian should realize that due to the well-orchestrated deceit of the devil, demons and their human agents, thousands of souls of Christians and non-Christians are daily perishing daily and entering an eternal damnation in HELL so this call to take God’s Work of the Gospel is a major and very serious one.
 
Don’t ever take it for granted, dear friend. The consequences are grave even for those who have studied and now know this information.
 
Jesus Christ is coming shortly to take in Rapture ONLY those who are qualified according to His righteous standards in the Holy Bible.
 
Are you living a genuine life as His disciple? Are you ready for Him? Come to Jesus today, for tomorrow may be too late for you.
 
May the good Lord bless you as you heed His Word today, act on it and share with others in Jesus’ Most Holy Name, Amen.
 
Gabriel Ama.

THE PREACHER OF RIGHTEOUSNESS

Titus 2:7-8 (AMPC)   “And show your own self in all respects to be a pattern  and a model of good deeds  and works, teaching what is unadulterated, showing gravity [having the strictest regard for truth and purity of motive], with dignity  and seriousness.   8 And let your instruction be sound  and fit  and wise  and wholesome, vigorous  and irrefutable  and above censure, so that the opponent may be put to shame, finding nothing discrediting  or evil to say about us.”   Dear people of God, whenever and wherever a Believer in Jesus Christ stands to minister to others, he is acting as an ambassador of Jesus Christ.   He is representing Jesus Christ because Jesus has commanded all believers to go and preach to everyone the Gospel or Good News concerning Repentance and Salvation found only in Him.   Jesus Christ our Lord was a Preacher of Righteousness while He was here on earth as a human being.   There was no...

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...

NO DIVORCEE WILL ENTER HEAVEN

MATTHEW 5:31-32 (KJV) “ 31 It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:   32 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of FORNICATION, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.   MATTHEW 19:8-9 (KJV) “He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.   9 And I say unto you, whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for FORNICATION, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.     Dear people of God, over the years, many Christians have been ignorantly fed wrong information about a condition under which a man can divorce his legally married wife, which according to them is when the woman commits adultery.   As a result of this misinfor...
