Play your OWN PART



I have made many videos pointing people to Jesus, sharing my testimony, sharing those things that Jesus has given me. I have many postings on the internet and there are many people watching the videos, many people reading, many people commenting. There are many people writing me letters, criticizing, they are telling me what to do, what not to do. There are many attacking me, persecuting me.
We will all stand before Jesus and we will all individually give account for what we have done in the flesh, for what we have done for the Kingdom of God. It is not the hearers, not the listeners, not the commenters, not the talkers but it is those who DO the will of God that will receive His approval. Each of us must make sure that we are doing what Jesus requires of us.
I will stand before Jesus and give account and so will you. Will Jesus be pleased with what I have done? Have I done enough? Have YOU done enough? Is He satisfied with us? Are we good workers for His kingdom? Are we bearing good fruit? Is He pleased with out fruit? That is the question that we need to answer for ourselves.
We need to ask Jesus every day:”Lord, am I doing enough? Lord, am I doing what I have been called to do? Am I serving the purpose of the Kingdom of God in such a way that I can enter in and become an heir of that Kingdom? Is Jesus pleased with YOU and with ME?

May Jesus bless you.

Lame Offerings Insult God


The prayers and good deeds of many Christians are an insult to God because they do it just to pay their dues. They feel obliged to do it but it does not come from their heart. God is not mocked. If we do not serve Him with all our heart and if we do not mean what we say when we are praying then our prayers are just an idle repetition of words and our deeds are mockery. Jesus requires truth in the inner parts.
If we want to glorify and follow Jesus Christ, if we want to witness for Him, if we want to serve Him we have to do it with all our power and from our heart. God is not glorified by a lame offering.
Jesus gave us His best and He only expects of us our best or else it is not acceptable to Him.
Do we serve the Lord with all our heart? Do we really mean it or are we just going through the motions and paying our dues? Do we just say:”I love You Lord” because we feel we have to do it or because it truly comes from the heart?

May Jesus bless you.

Are you faithful?


God is faithful. Every morning the sun rises and He makes His sun shine on all people, good and evil. God is good to everybody and He us faithful. He never changes. His goodness and His mercy never changes. Jesus Christ is the same, yesterday, today and for ever but He requires of us also that we be faithful.
Jesus said:”Whoever wishes to come after Me must deny himself every day, pick up his cross and come here, follow Me.” Are we faithful in following Jesus Christ. When we wake up in the morning, is our first thought about Jesus and about pleasing Him? Or are we unfaithful? Do we seek to live our lives in such a way as to please HIM, EVERY DAY, or are we unfaithful?
Only those who prove their love for Jesus by being FAITHFUL EVERY DAY, only they will have eternal life. Are you faithful to Jesus.

May Jesus bless you.

Your Calling

Jesus Christ calls each and every one of us for a specific purpose and the only way that we can fulfill that purpose is IF we follow Him, if we submit our lives to Him, live in holiness and obedience,seeking His will, LISTENING to His voice and DOING what He tells us to do. We are not all called to be preachers or teachers.
Jesus calls each and every one with a specific purpose and He will direct our footsteps and put us where He wants us to be. He might direct us into different occupations, we are in different countries of the world, but if we are led by the Holy Spirit then He will TEACH us, He will GUIDE us, He will COACH us, He will prepare us for service in His Kingdom and IF we endure with Him, submit to Him. LISTEN and OBEY then He will USE us for the purpose that He called us for. Moses the man of God was only ready for the purpose for which God had called Him when he was eighty years old. At the age of eighty he led the children of Israel out of Egypt.
God has called each and every one of us for a purpose which only He knows but we can only fulfill that purpose IF we follow Jesus Christ, IF we listen to His voice, IF we submit to Him and then He will use us for that purpose that He has made us for, called us for and that He wants to prepare us for. Only God knows that purpose. The only way that we can fulfill God's purpose is if we ABANDON OUR OWN PLANS, abandon our own ambitions and submit totally to Jesus, focus on Him, follow Him and let Him guide us into that plan which He has prepared for each of us. That is our calling, to follow Jesus and to do what He has called us for until the very end.
Without Jesus we can do nothing. We will have to follow His guidance every step of the way until the very, very end and only those who endure until the very end will win the prize of eternal life that He has promised to those who love Him and who obey Him.
Are you fulfilling your calling? Are you following Jesus every step of the way until the very end?

May Jesus bless you.

You must do your part


Many believers are under the impression that if they accept Jesus Christ then He becomes their personal servant and that He will do things for them. Jesus Christ has already done everything that God the Father sent Him to do. Jesus Christ came as a man and He did what the Father told Him to do. He delivered the Words of the Father and He showed us the way. He gave us the words of life and then He sacrificed Himself for us so that IF we believe in Him and we OBEY Him we can have eternal life.
Jesus has done everything that He was sent to do but now it is our turn TO DO OUR PART if we want eternal life. Jesus said that:”Whoever WISHES to come after Me, must deny himself, pick up his cross every day and come here, FOLLOW Me.” If we want eternal life we must go after Jesus every day. We must obey His words. We must seek the guidance of His Holy Spirit. God has prepared works for us to do in His kingdom. If we want eternal life then we must go after Jesus and He will guide us by His Holy Spirit to do those works which the Father prepared for us to do in His kingdom.
WE NEED TO DO OUR PART. If we do not obey Jesus, REPENT of sin and of going after our own desires and our own plans and if we do not GO AFTER HIM, every day, seek Him, follow Him and DO what God called us to do then we will not have eternal life!
Jesus did His part. Now is our turn to do our part to prove our love for Him. If we refuse to go after Him and do the works that God prepared for us to do, we will not enter the kingdom of heaven. Have you made up your mind to follow Jesus? Have you denied yourself? Are you picking up your cross every day and following Jesus? Have you obeyed His words? Have you been baptized in water and have you received the Holy Spirit? Are you following the guidance of the Holy Spirit EVERY DAY and DOING what He has called you to do?
If you do not DO YOUR PART you WILL NOT have eternal life.
May Jesus bless you.
