PROFIT OR LOSS? 2

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?

Our Lord Jesus did not answer the question He posed in the text, but it is always clear what the answer is. 

Devil, being a liar always strive to ensure that man never come to the knowledge of the truth which sets free. John 8:32 & 44. *Devil's major exploit is  to see to it that, man will never place premium on his own soul in the same way the creator has.* 

God did not send Jesus to this world to come save His creations like the sun, moon star, mountain, waters or the animals. But He sent Him to save the most precious thing to Him - The Soul of man.

Jesus came to save you and I,  so that when He returns, He will destroy every other thing that our sins have defiled in order to give us new ones. 

What a loving God we serve. He gave  man a house, man messed it up, then he decided to save man, burn down the old house and build him a new one. 

It is quite unfortunate that many still cling to the old house that is about to be destroyed. They refuse to leave the house(world and its system). They chose to rather gain the house which is about to be destroyed and loose their lives (souls). 

Please do not try to gain this world. As you can see, the whole thing is growing old like a garment. 2 Peter 3:10-14.

 *Let your pursuit be the salvation of your Soul, then you will gain the world to come; that is the only place where you can truly lay hold on things eternally and not in this present world.* 

 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

1. Father God, I  receive the grace to seek you and your Kingdom with the whole of my life. 

2. Help me Lord not to trade my soul for this present world.

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...

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...
