KEEP TELLING THE STORY

Matthew 28:18 - 20
Then Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.
 "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
"teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen

This command remains Jesus final instructions to us when He left . . . reaching out to the lost, because He died for all.

2Corinthians 5:15
 and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again

The passion of Christ was that all will hear of His great sacrifice, repent and have eternal life. Yes ALL!

The instruction was for everyone who is saved to preach the message and live as examples. It is not only for a selected few.

2Timothy 4:5
But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.

You may think you are not perfect, or you are not anointed. No as long you received the right to become God's child you must drag many from hell and bring them back to God in love by speaking and teaching them, then the Holy Spirit convicts them.

Your part is to speak the word and teach. The Holy Spirit will convince, then salvation will take place.

2Corinthians 5:18 - 19
Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation
 that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.

Knowing we have this task, we therefore be grounded in God's Word, fervent in prayer and be attentive in the Spirit. For we are carrying out a spiritual exercise, we must be fit. We cannot give what we do not have.

I see you as an instrument of God, reaching out to the lost wherever He leads you.

Proverbs 11:30
The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, and he who wins souls is wise.

You can and will do it continually this year by the power of God's Spirit in you.

You will not be tired, discouraged nor will you be disappointed.

He calls you blessed.

Love
@ the watcher.

DO YOU STILL SEE?

-
Habakkuk 2:3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, it will not tarry. It may have been easy when we first believed, to visualize the promises. We reach out with zeal, loving God, seeking to do exploits. That was when we first believed, just as Jesus said: John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." When we become born again we see God's kingdom, our spirit man is reborn and we count the flesh as nothing. Then time passes by, we are in the world, all its distractions, temptations, responsibilities, challenges and so on begin to reveal themselves. The question then is: * Can we still see heaven? John 3:3 * Are we still zealous? John 2:17 * Are we continuing in those things? Acts 2:42 * Are we walking in love? 1John 4:7 or Has the cares and worries of life and service ta

TRADE WISELY

-
Isaiah 40:31 But those who wait on the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint. Many have traded their joy chasing over material things and the pleasures and satisfaction of the world. The question is "is it worth it?". Yes we must earn, work and keep improving day after day but we must remember "nothing is free". We must pay a price. So, what are we ready to sacrifice? Some have sacrificed, their: * health * peace of mind * children * marriage * calling * ministry * good name All in the bid to get material things. 2Timothy 4:10 for Demas has forsaken me, having loved this present world, and has departed for Thessalonica-- Crescens for Galatia, Titus for Dalmatia. There is always a process, we would get into trouble when we try to use the shortcut, to get it by all means and immediately. Let us be careful of what exchange we make! Let us ask like J

DO UNTO OTHERS . . .

-
Matthew 7:12 "Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. It is hypocritical of us to expect people to stand with us when we are experiencing challenges yet when we see others face their own challenges, we begin to imagine what they must have done wrong or maybe they annoyed God or did one evil or the other instead of reaching out to help as we would desire others to do for us. The same thing goes for prosperity, when the Lord opens a door for us and we have abundance of wealth or a breakthrough we expect others to rejoice with us, more so, some would even find it hard to give to others. What is our reaction when someone else gets this breakthrough, do we get suddenly suspicious without reason. Do we expect the person to reach out to us? It is better to stay on the side of encouragement than to sit as a judge or prosecutor. Jesus said, Matthew 7:2 "For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the same
