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...

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 ...

TIME IN ETERNITY

Text : Psalms 90:12  So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom._  Our God dwells in eternity past, present and future. In between these phases of eternity, He created man to dwell in Time. When man sinned, he fell short of God's plan, and death came in.(Rom 3:23). Death therefore short circuit man's life in eternity. This is the reason Jesus.came.  He had to come into TIME in order to remove the PAUSE  death HAD on man.  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16.  Every man born into this world automatically becomes an eternal being. The question therefore is, which side of eternity would such a man dwell? Everlasting life or Everlasting condemnation? Time is an opportunity given to man to trade for eternal life. You have limited time to exchange for eternal life in eternity.  Time offers you the opportunity to ga...
