SHARE THE WORD...







In the US, if an arrest warrant is obtained against someone and that person gets arrested by the police; the persons constitutional rights are usually read out to that person. One of such rights is the right to remain 'silent' as anything said at that point could be used against the person in a court of law. These are mans' ways and not God's ways. God's ways and thoughts are different. see (Isaiah 55:8-9). On the contrary,
when the Holy spirit 'arrests' someone, and is filled with the power of the Holy Ghost; he or she receives utterance and the gift to speak in other tongues like it happened to the disciples of Jesus. see (Acts 2:1-4).

Dear Brethren, as believers and after we received Christ, we obtained the right and have been mandated to go out and bear witness to the truth that Jesus Christ is the Lord and His gift is eternal Life to all who believe in Him and do his commandments. Jesus said in (mark 16:15)'Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature'.

It is true that most of the news being communicated these days through main and social media are news of wars, terrorist attacks, strife, contentions, poverty, sickness and so on. It is true that these things exist as long as we live in this world for our Lord Jesus spoke of them. But he also encourages us in His word that we as believers should be of good cheer for He has overcome the world. So we are over comers in Christ Jesus.

Moreover, the Lord has promised in (mathew 10:32-33)' Therefore whoever confesses Me before men; him i will also confess before My Father who is in Heaven. But whoever denies Me before men, him i will also deny before My Father who is in Heaven'. The disciple Luke also records a similar promise from our Lord in (Luke 12:8-9)

Dear Brothers, i don't know about you but i personally want our Lord Jesus Christ to confess me before the Father of Creation on that day of reckoning. That is why i also make the confession today that Jesus Christ is Lord; that He came in human form to die for my sins and yours; that as we believe in Him, confess and repent of our sins we will have Eternal Life. I encourage you all to do the same. Talk to someone about Jesus today. Share the word with someone so that He will also confess us to the Father and we will dwell eternally in His presence.

Remember also we have been mandated to do so in (Luke 24:46-47) Then he said to them 'Thus it is written and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead on the third day and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations beginning at Jerusalem.And you are witnesses of these things'.

In conclusion brothers, my prayer is that on that day you all and i will be able to stand in His presence and boldly say those words as recorded by King David in (psalm 40:9-10) 'I have proclaimed the good news of righteousness in the great assembly; indeed i do not restrain my lips o Lord, you yourself know. I  have not hidden your righteousness within my heart. I have declared your faithfulness and your salvation, I have not concealed your loving kindness and your truth from the great assembly'
