Jesus called us to be witnesses for Him and His kingdom. Jesus paid the price for our salvation so we can have eternal life. There is no other way to be saved from hell but Jesus Christ, He is the WAY the TRUTH and the LIFE.
Salvation is Jesus, believing that He is Lord and thus OBEYING Him. If we believe that Jesus is Lord and the He alone has power to cast in hell or give eternal life, then we OBEY every word that He spoke. All mankind will be judged by the words of Jesus, nothing else.
Being a follower of Jesus means to REPENT, turn away, from sin and serving yourself; and OBEY Jesus. Obedience to Jesus means, obedience to His Spirit that He gives in us, together with our spirit(conscience), guiding us into righteousness, and to His words as written in the gospels. (Matthew, Mark Luke and John)
The great commission, to ALL of those who follow Him is to MAKE DISCIPLES. "Go therefore and MAKE DISCIPLE of all nations, BAPTIZING them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, TEACHING them to OBSERVE all that I have COMMANDED YOU you." Matthew 28:19.
We are all called as witnesses. Refusal to obey the great commission renders us utterly fruitless and ready to be cut off, ready for the fire. If we are ashamed of Jesus, He will also be ashamed of us.
To witness is obedience. It might seem as though it has no effect, you might be rejected by people. OBEY, WITNESS, we are only the sowers, God makes it grow. His words will never return empty, but YOU MUST WITNESS. "you shall be My witnesses" Acts 1:8.
"But his master answered him, ‘You wicked and slothful servant! You knew that I reap where I have not sown and gather where I scattered no seed? Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers, and at my coming I should have received what was my own with interest. So take the talent from him and give it to him who has the ten talents. For to everyone who has will more be given, and he will have an abundance. But from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away. And cast the worthless servant into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’ Matthew 25:26-30.
Our lives must be a testimony for Jesus, we must witness. Our means must be for the building of the kingdom of heaven, caring for our brothers and sisters in need. If we cannot go we must enable those who go and spread the gospel. May we not be found fruitless in the judgment day.

Hearing His Voice
God will speak to you but you must learn to listen. Jesus said:"My sheep hear My voice, and they listen." Most Christians do not hear His voice and they do not listen. They are merely satisfied to believe in God and read the Bible when it suits them, picking and choosing what suits them and interpreting scripture to their own desire. Others are merely satisfied to listen to some preachers of their own choice. That is dangerous, as Jesus will say to most believers in that day:"Go away I never knew you."
His sheep follow Him. It is about the kingdom of God, not about our private agendas and our own desires. The Holy Spirit will guide us into knowledge of Christ, it will take from Him and reveal to us according to His will. Self seeking individuals will not listen to Jesus or accept guidance of the Holy Spirit. Sheep are not known for high IQ's and innovation but for trustingly following the shepherd. Only those who trust and follow like sheep will listen to His voice and get to know Him.
Those who are pure in heart, shall see God. Purity of heart means to be empty of self and own desires. A pure heart is set on the kingdom of God, not on self. A pure heart trusts Jesus unconditionally and will not doubt Him or His words when He speaks.
Seek His kingdom, seek Him with all your heart and you will hear Him. Spend time waiting on Him, quietly, patiently, expectantly. He will speak to you, in your spirit, things you have never heard or understood. If you doubt He will withdraw from you. What is your hurry? What is more important than being in His presence?

A Servant of God?
There are many who claim to be servants of God, however, they do not have any knowledge of God. To be a servant of God, you first need to know God. Further you need to be directed by God. Very few of those who carry the label of servant of God comply with those criteria. The majority are servants of secular organizations, churches.
A servant of God serves God, not people. You cannot serve two masters, you will either hate the one and love the other or be loyal to one and despise the other. Those who serve secular church organizations most often defy Jesus with their own wisdom and man made doctrines. They appease people and have no business with God.
A servant of God has one attachment only, Jesus Christ. His business is to always be pleasing to Jesus. Servants of God are constantly focused on Christ Himself. They seek the approval of the Holy Spirit in their heart. The acceptance of people means nothing to them, friendship with the world is enmity with God.
Either we are servants of God and love Him more than anything or we are self serving, people pleasing fakes. Jesus knows our hearts, we cannot fool Him. His true sheep, who hear His voice and follow Him are few. Narrow is the door and few will find it. Jesus is the door to the Kingdom of God. If we seek Him, we find Him. Only those who endure to the end will enter in.

Christian celebrities
The glorification of the creature instead of the Creator is a wickedness in the sight of God. Christian celebrities attract the attention to themselves and become rich and famous from the gospel of Jesus Christ. They are adored and followed instead of Jesus, the Lord of lords and King of kings.
Christians adore these celebrities. They are preachers, prophets, healers, singers, worship teams, skit performers, dancers, movie stars and rock stars. They appeal to the flesh, their own and that of their followers. As soon as man is exalted God is forgotten.
They use technology to create an atmosphere of sanctity but it only glorifies and satisfies the flesh. The followers are always in awe of the performer but do not fall down and worship the real God and Master Jesus Christ. Instead of repentance and holiness the performances result in the satisfaction of the flesh. People want to feel good, enjoy the performance. They love their pleasures and their lusts.
God will judge both idols and idolaters, both will go down into the pit. There is no partiality with God, He knows the intention of the heart of man, He judges righteously. All the glory goes to Jesus, He is a jealous God and will not share His glory with man.

In His Presence
Many Christians find it difficult to spend time in prayer. They run out of words and thoughts and don’t know what to pray. What they do not realize is that we are in the presence of God every moment of our lives. Nothing is hidden from His sight ever. God knows everything, even the intentions of our hearts. He knows our thoughts, our worries, fears and all our emotions.
For a Christian, Jesus Christ is Lord, King, Master of every moment of his life. Every thought is shared with Jesus and every moment is lived for Jesus. No decision is taken without first referring it to Jesus for His guidance. A born again Christian lives only for Jesus, not for himself or for sin. He has no pleasure in the world or the things of the world. Since the moment Jesus came into your heart you only have one desire, to please Jesus.
If you do not any desire to be with Jesus , or to pray, there is something seriously wrong with your relationship with Jesus. Only those who love Jesus and want to be with Him, will enter His kingdom. If you never loved Jesus that much that you wanted to be with Him every moment, then you have never met Him. If you did once love him that much but your feelings have disappeared you need to repent, plead for forgiveness, ask Jesus to remove the stone heart in you and replace it with His love.
The only way that we get to know Jesus is through a constant relationship, making ourselves aware of His presence every moment. Make time to be alone with Jesus. Remove all sources of interruption, switch of the cell phone and TV. (A Christian should not own a TV) A good time is at night, when everybody is asleep. Get up and be alone with Jesus. Wait on Him silently. He will speak to you, into your heart. Spend time in His presence as though you were in His mighty presence before His throne. He will reveal Himself to you.
If you don’t have a desire to be with Him now, you never will. You will come to the end of your life and Jesus will say to you: Go away, I never knew you. Make time now, seek Him with all your heart. Get to know Him before it is forever too late. Spend time in His presence every day.

Deception of Church
The entire church system is a wicked deception that exists without God. Church has no connection whatsoever with God or eternal destiny. It is entirely self centered and aimed at gain for the church operators. Church exists totally separate from God, it is in fact opposed to God.
The church system is a worldly system. It does not subject itself to God. Church leadership use doctrine and “biblical principles” to manipulate ignorant believers.
Vast multitudes of naïve believers are drawn into the church system. They believe they are working on their eternal destiny but they are enslaved to a man made system.
The majority of church members have never had any contact with Jesus. It is not the objective of the church to bring people to Jesus. Church enslaves people to itself. It makes people believe that they are serving God by serving church. That is a wicked lie.
Church activities are marketing tools aimed at fulfilling needs created in the minds of people. Church members are brain washed into thinking that these ceremonies are essential to their eternal destiny. Facilities and attractions are put in place to please people. It has nothing to do with God.
All that matters is knowing and following Jesus Christ, the Invisible God. He will say to many people in that day: Go away I never knew you. Jesus Christ is God. Salvation is knowing and being in a constant relationship with Jesus. Jesus is the Head of His true church, the body of Christ. They are His sheep, who know His voice and follow Him, every step of the way, every day of their lives.
If you want to spend eternity in the presence of God in heaven you need to get to know Jesus now, before it is too late. Once you die you face judgment. If you did not get to know Jesus in this life, you will spend eternity away from Him as well.
Seek Jesus now, before it is for ever too late. Don’t go to church, go to Jesus!
