Text: Luke 15:7 

I say to you that likewise there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine just persons who need no repentance.

There is a special kind of joy in heaven that is triggered when a soul returns to God. Heaven celebrates repentance. This tells us how valuable every single soul is to God, and how intentional we must be about helping others find their way back to Him.

Many times, we think sharing the gospel requires traveling to distant lands or waiting for a “perfect moment.” But *the truth is, your mission field often begins right where you are. The people closest to you, your family, friends, neighbors, and colleagues, are the first assignment God has given you.* 

When Jesus gave the great commission in Acts 1:8, He made it clear that witnessing should start from “Jerusalem”, their immediate environment, before extending to the uttermost.

This means your home, your street, your workplace, and your circle of influence are your Jerusalem.

A powerful example of this is seen in John 1:41. After encountering Jesus, Andrew did not keep the good news to himself. The very first thing he did was to find his brother Simon and tell him, “We have found the Messiah!” He understood that love compels action. 

If you truly care about someone, you won’t keep silent about the salvation that can transform their lives.

Helping your brother is not limited to introducing him to Christ; it also includes restoring him when he falls. Believers are not immune to mistakes, struggles, or seasons of wandering. 

This is why James 5:19-20 encourages us to bring back anyone who strays from the truth. This is compassion. It is participating in God’s rescue mission.

Sadly, it is easy to criticize, judge, or even distance ourselves from a fallen brother. Sometimes, people go as far as exposing or condemning others, forgetting that they too are recipients of grace.

But God calls us to a higher standard, to be agents of reconciliation, not instruments of destruction.

To help your brother means to pray for him, reach out in love, speak truth with gentleness, and guide him back to the right path. It means choosing restoration over rejection.

Remember, every soul restored brings joy to heaven. You could be the reason for that celebration.

*BIBLE READING:* 

James 5:19-20

 *PRAYER FOCUS:* 

Father LORD, give me the grace to always reach out to the sinners, and my brothers in love, that their repentance might bring Joy to you and the heavens in Jesus name.

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...
