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.

Our God is a missionary God, and He has sent us His missionary Son, to rescue our world from sin, satan and death. And while departing from this world, He  handed down the mission of calling in sinners into His kingdom to you as His disciple. (2Cor. 5:19).

Jesus Christ came into this world to seek and save the lost. Being the Son of God, He knew exactly what it means when a sinner repents. He knows too well what the reactions of the angels in the presence of God would be when a sinner turns to God- Great Joy!

Joy is the very expression of all the angels that stand in God's presence when repentance takes place.

Another striking point about the joy in heaven is the comparison of the Joy that occurs over a sinner that repents than the just persons who need no repentance. 

There is more joy in heaven because of one sinner that repents than many just persons who need no repentance.

It is therefore clear that if you want to see greater rejoicing in heaven on your account, then you must join the Jesus' missionary band. You must go where the sinners are. You must love to reach out to sinners. You must labour to see sinners turn away from sin unto God.

As a believer, you need to be very intentional about your service unto God. You must see to it that you do things that cause angels in God's presence to rejoice.

Hence, Daniel wrote *"...they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever." (Daniel 12:3).* 

It is clear that great shall be the reward and rejoicing of those that constantly bring joy to heaven.

*BIBLE READING:* 

Luke 15:1-7.

 *PRAYER FOCUS:* 

Father LORD, give me the grace to always reach out to the sinners, that their repentance might bring Joy to you and the heavens.

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...
