Tell People About God 2


Anchor Scripture: “For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.” – Luke 19: 10

Scripture References: Isaiah 57: 14 – 21; Malachi 3: 1 – 5; Matthew 3: 1 – 6; Luke 3: 3 – 6; John 1: 19 - 34

Admonition
Greetings from the Throne of Grace!

There is no gainsaying that most Christians today either do not know the actual reason Jesus Christ came and died for the world, or they are confused about what the reason really was; no thanks to motivational speakers-turned pastors and prosperity preachers who led the legions for the proliferation of the body of Christ.

Our anchor Scripture this morning points to the exact and singular reason Jesus Christ was made to suffer for the world. And this is the reason we need to talk to people about God. This morning, the Holy Spirit says He will like to highlight just THREE reasons we must speak to people about God. May our hearts be opened to receive the Word in Jesus' name, amen.

First, during the earthly ministry of Jesus Christ, He had no other message than that people should relinquish their sins and begin to live righteous lives in order to make it into the Kingdom of God. He did this with many illustrations in terms of parables. ANY OTHER THINGS HE DID IN TERMS OF MIRACLES WERE NEVER HIS MESSAGE, BUT THEY WERE DONE THAT THE PEOPLE MAY BELIEVE THAT HE WAS TRULY THE MESSIAH. Unfortunately, those are the things people seek and preach today. So, by telling people about God, you will be fulfilling the exact purpose of Jesus’ coming and dying for the world.

Next, by telling people about God, you will be fulfilling the heavenly mandate given His followers while leaving the world finally. And when you do that and win souls into the Kingdom, it means you are a true child of God because you are doing the work of your Father.

Another reason you need to tell people about God is that it has a way of ensuring that you yourself don’t veer off the track. Sincerely speaking, I found out that most of the time I have strayed away from God were times I kept my mouth quiet and didn’t speak to people about God. The reason for that I may not understand, but brethren, it is the truth.

FINISHING STRONG in and with God, therefore brethren is more than just attending churches every Sunday or at some other times during the week, or maybe belonging to one unit or the other in the church. The Holy Spirit did say it in one of our pieces in the past that WHATEVER YOU ARE DOING THAT DOES NOT DIRECTLY CONTRIBUTE TO PEOPLE’S SALVATION IS NOT GOD’S WORK; just a religious assignment!

Till tomorrow when we shall meet again on this beautiful journey of FINISHING STRONG together, keep keeping on in Him!

Anchor Scripture: Romans 8: 1 “ There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.”  Focus Scripture: “ This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. ” –Galatians 5: 16 Scripture References: John 3: 1 – 8, 16 - 19; Romans 1: 18 – 32, 1 – 14; Galatians 5: 16 – 26; 1 John 2: 15 - 17 Admonition Greetings from the Throne of Grace! Yesterday, the Holy Spirit of God admonished us to watch the companies we keep because our association with them could make us do things that are contrary to the Kingdom’s choice. And an example was given of Jehoshaphat. May God help us in Jesus name, amen. Today, we are being told to “Walk in the Spirit”. The Holy Spirit was given to us as Guardian to help and keep us in and on the way to the Kingdom. The Holy Spirit is a teacher, meant to teach us right from wrong and He helps us in making the right choices. Most of...

AVOID CONDEMNATION: Stop Impersonating

Anchor Scripture: Romans 8: 1 “ There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.”  Focus Scripture: “ For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness .” – Romans 1: 18 Scripture References: Matthew 7: 21 - 23; John 1: 12 – 13, 3: 1 - 7; Acts 19: 1 – 6, 11 – 20; Romans 1: 18 – 32; 2 Corinthians 13: 4 - 10 Admonition Greetings from the Throne of Grace! Our God is good and gracious towards us in that He has hidden nothing about Himself from us.

BEWARE OF BALAAM'S DOCTRINE

Anchor Scripture: “. . . Verily when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel.” – 1 Corinthians 9: 18 Scripture References: Numbers 22: 1 – 7; 1 Corinthians 9: 1 –27; Matthew 10: 7 - 8 The Balaam’s doctrine is it that encourages children of God to do the work of God for carnal rewards. And the children of God caught up in the web of Balaam’s doctrine are those who preach the Gospel of Christ for one reward or the other. Such “servants of God” use a lot of scriptures to spiritualize and legalize their collections of material and carnal rewards from the congregation. However, we thank God for servants of God like Apostle Paul, who really followed the teachings of our Lord, Jesus Christ, in that he refused to abuse the authority he had over his congregations by which he could have become rich and wealthy as many of our ministers today, for Jesus Christ commanded in Matthew 10: 7 - 8 thus: “ And as ye go, pre...
