GOD’S APPROVAL OR MEN’S APPROVAL: WHICH DO YOU SEEK?

-

John 12:43 (AMPC)
“For they loved the approval and the praise and the glory that come from men [instead of and] more than the glory that comes from God. [They valued their credit with men more than their credit with God.]”
 
Dear people of God, heaven never makes a mistake. By this I mean God knows every human being’s heart and who is living right before Him and who is pretending and who is living an outright life of sinful immorality.
 
One thing we must note is that there is no human being on earth who is loved by everyone; while some would find fault with you, others would love you all the way.
 
Unfortunately, some individuals who don’t understand this fact of life go all out seeking validation from men.
 
Some are so good at pretending and living hypocritically that they have gotten used to wrongdoing but don’t realize the gravity of their actions because some people are hailing them and praising them.
 
Dear friend, you can deceive men, but you cannot deceive God, the Alpha and Omega of all that is in the Universe.
 
God knows the very thoughts you think even if you are smiling at someone and thinking evil of them simultaneously.
 
You therefore do not gain anything seeking men’s approval even in sin. It is God’s approval you should seek because God is the Judge of the Universe and decides the fate of all His creatures.
 
How would you know God approves of you? Your words, thoughts, actions and reactions must be consistent with His Word in the Holy Bible.
 
If there is a deviation of your lifestyle from God’s Word, it is in your eternal interest to come back to God because God can never mislead you while humans can.
 
You only need God’s approval to enter heaven, but man’s approval alone cannot gain you entry in heaven.
 
Jesus’ coming for His children in the Rapture is imminent. Are you His child or are you born again? Are you ready for Him?
 
Come to Jesus Christ the Word of God today and now, for tomorrow or later 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...
