THE REAL WORTH

Text :Matthew  16:26  

For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

This world is not worth the real worth of your soul. It's not worth it to stake your precious soul for this world!

If you carefully observe this world with God's eye glasses, you will realise that you are living in a fallen, sick and hurting world. The question then is, "why must I stake my soul on a fallen, sick and hurting world?"

Jesus had asked a question which many are yet to provide a candid answer to. He asked one question in two different ways:

1. What is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? 
2.What shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

Many religious and churchy folks who think they know the answer will quickly reply and say, Nothing!

While many can only provide theoretical answer to Jesus' question, they are however unable to experience a victorious life above this world. They are unable to place their soul above the base  gains of this world. The weight and the base gains of this world has wrecked many souls simply because they are yet to realise the worth of their soul.

You must know that your soul is much more precious and of more value than the whole world. Do not sheepishly and cheaply trade your soul for this world. As far as God is concerned, at creation, one soul is greater than the whole world. 

That is the reason God created many trees, animals, fishes, birds, vast land and waters but only one man (Adam) to manage it all.

The devil also know the worth and preciousness of a single soul. That is the reason he is willing to let go of the whole world to any one who is willing to give his soul for it.

 No matter the fatness of your bank account, the whole treasures and riches of this world cannot pay your real worth. 

Though sin has made man come short of God's glory, yet  man's life is worth the image of God  and that's why God  created you in His image. This is the reason you must accept the redemption plan of God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

BIBLE READING: Mathew 16:24-28.

PRAYER FOCUS

1.) Father God, open my eyes to know and walk in my true  identity in Christ Jesus.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

BEWARE OF DOGS

Text :  Philippians 3:2. Beware of the dogs! Beware of the evil workers! Beware of the mutilators! Usually, when you see the inscription "BEWARE OF DOGS", you instantly know there's a wild or trained dog around the corner, hence, the need to beware.  However, when God says 'Beware of dogs,' He wasn't actually referring to dogs as in 'animals' but to animals in human skin. Note that this caution was given to believers against other so-called  believers.  That is, some people within the church that we refer to as brothers and sisters are actually operating in the capacity of dogs.Though fellow worshippers in the church are called brothers and sisters, but if they behave like wild animals, know that they are dogs in humans skin- BEWARE. Matthew  7:6 says *Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.*  Essentially, dogs don't have capacity to r...
