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.

Driving Force


Jesus does not promise us a bed of roses or an easy ride if we follow Him. He said that:”Whoever wishes to come after Me must deny himself, pick up his cross every day and come here, follow Me.” when you decide to follow Jesus you embark on a steep and rough road but IF you endure until the end you will have the prize of eternal life.
What is it that motivates a child of God to keep on following Jesus every day? It is the prize of eternal life. It is the treasure that he is building up in heaven. If we look back and we long for the things of the world, the fleshpots of Egypt, the pleasures of sin then we are not worthy of the kingdom of God, we are not worthy of Jesus. Jesus said that whoever puts his hand to the plow and looks back is not worthy of Me.
Are you on that rough and steep road? Do you deny yourself every day, pick up your cross and follow Jesus even though things are tough? Are you working on your treasure in heaven? Do you have an expectation or will you stand naked before Jesus on judgment day?

May Jesus bless you.

You will pay for your sin


You will pay for your sins. We read in Romans 2:6-11 “God; will render to every man according to his deeds: To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honor and immortality, eternal life: But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that does evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Greek; But glory, honor, and peace, to every man that works good, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek: For there is no respect of persons with God.”
All our deeds are recorded in God's book and He will reward every person for their deeds, good or bad. Jesus said:”Follow Me.” People want salvation but they don't want to follow Jesus neither do they want to obey Him. We will only receive reward for the things that we have done in obedience to Jesus Christ. Those who run after sin and their own lusts will reap destruction for THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH.
What reward are we expecting to receive when we stand before the judgment throne of Jesus Christ?

May Jesus bless you.

Enter the rest of Jesus Christ


Those who love and follow Jesus Christ have entered His rest, the rest of their OWN works but it does not mean that they are doing nothing. They are DOING the WORKS OF GOD that He has prepared for those who love Him.
Jesus commanded us to work while it is still day time before night comes (death) when nobody can work. If we follow Jesus Christ we rest of our OWN WORKS and our own endeavors, we stop chasing after wind, we get out of the rat race and we wait on Jesus, we serve Him and we DO what He tells us to do because we are not running after our own desires any more; we are WALKING and LIVING in the plan that God has prepared for us. We have become part of the kingdom of God and we DO what is pleasing to Him. We rest of our OWN works but we DO the works of Christ. We live in utter obedience to Him.
Many believers don't want to work for the kingdom of God and that is why they will not enter the rest of Christ, they will not enter the kingdom of God. Eternal life is only promised to those who are willing to work now so that they can have their rest after they have completed the works that God has prepared for us to do in His kingdom.
Are you resting of your OWN works and your own endeavors and are you following Jesus Christ and doing the works that God has prepared for YOU to do in His kingdom so that you can enter into His eternal rest?
May Jesus bless you.

Worthy works


Foolish believers listen to the devil, they refuse to obey Jesus Christ and they refuse to work for the kingdom of God. A tree is known by its fruit. Jesus said that every branch in Him that does not bear good fruit will get cut off and burned. The devil knows that, he wants you to be unfruitful.
Jesus will reward every man according to their deeds. The devil knows that and he wants you to lose your reward of eternal life.
Only those who obey Jesus and who are fruitful and who endure until the very end. Only they will win the prize of eternal life. Are you obeying Jesus and bearing fruit or are you listening to the devil and those so called Christians who tell you that we are saved by grace and not by works. We are saved by grace to work for the kingdom of God and if we refuse to SERVE Jesus Christ we will be CUT OFF AND BURNED because every branch that does not bear good fruit will get cut off and burned.
How is our fruit? Are we worthy of eternal life and reward from Jesus or will we be rewarded with damnation?

Payday is coming


Jesus commanded us to do unto others as we wish them to do unto us. Whatever we sow we shall reap also. If we take up the sword then we shall also die by the sword. The evil that we have committed will come back to us with interest unless we repent.
God is not mocked. He sees every deed. He knows every thought. Vengeance belongs to Him and He will repay. Are we ready to receive payment for what we have done? Those who do not repent and turn away from their wickedness, will not find forgiveness and they will pay with interest for the wickedness that they have committed.
We will all be judged by our deeds here and now and in eternity. Are we ready for that judgment? Nothing passes the eye of God. You will not skip judgment. God is not mocked. Are you ready for your reward?
May Jesus bless you.

Good Slaves - Wicked Slaves

Jesus Christ calls us for a purpose, for His kingdom. He calls us to be slaves of the kingdom of God, servants who do His will, who serve Him as King. But there are good servants and bad servants. The good servant enjoys the favor of his Master, as Jesus said to His disciples in John 15:14 “14“ You are My friends, IF YOU DO WHAT I COMMAND YOU. 15“ No longer do I call you slaves, for the slave does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I have heard from My Father I have made known to you.” The good slave enjoys the favor of his Master and he becomes a friend, he becomes part of the household but the wicked slave, the one who refuses to serve, he will get cast out in utter darkness, where there will be whaling and gnashing of teeth. We read in John 15:5 “I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me, and I in him, he bears much fruit; for apart from Me you can do nothing. 6“ If anyone does not abide in Me, he is thrown away as a branch, and dries up; and they gather them, and CAST THEM INTO THE FIRE, AND THEY ARE BURNED. 7“ If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it shall be done for you.” What the Lord requires of us is that we be good slaves because then we become friends of the Master, then we are not slaves any longer, then He reveals Himself to us and we become part of His household. But if we are wicked and unwilling and disobedient we will get cut off and cast into the fire. Are we good servants. Are we doing what the Master is telling us to do? Or are we wicked slaves that will be cast out into utter darkness? May Jesus bless you.

Your expected reward

God will reward every man according to their deeds. The wages of sin is death and God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. The apostle Paul wrote in Romans 2:5:”God, 6who WILL RENDER TO EVERY MAN ACCORDING TO HIS DEEDS: 7to those who by perseverance in doing good seek for glory and honor and immortality, eternal life; 8but to those who are selfishly ambitious and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, wrath and indignation. 9There will be tribulation and distress for every soul of man who does evil, of the Jew first and also of the Greek, 10but glory and honor and peace to every man who does good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. 11FOR THERE IS NO PARTIALITY WITH GOD.” God knows every deed, every thought, everything that we do. He is watching us and we will all be rewarded according to what we have done. Every branch in Christ, that does not bear fruit, good fruit, will get cut off and burned. We read in John 15 the words of Jesus, John 15:1“ I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. 2“ Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit, He prunes it, that it may bear more fruit. 4“ Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you, unless you abide in Me. 5“ I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me, and I in him, he bears much fruit; for apart from Me you can do nothing. 6“ IF ANYONE DOES NOT ABIDE IN ME, HE IS THROWN AWAY AS A BRANCH, AND DRIES UP; AND THEY GATHER THEM, AND CAST THEM INTO THE FIRE, AND THEY ARE BURNED.” If we do not remain IN CHRIST then we are cut off, thrown into the fire. Without Jesus we can do nothing. We will be rewarded by our deeds. We now have the opportunity to mend our ways and make sure that we receive a good reward. What reward are we expecting from God? Eternal life or eternal damnation because we will be judged by our DEEDS. May Jesus bless you.

Performance Appraisal


God has made each and every one of us uniquely different and He has called us for a purpose. He has prepared works for each of us to do. I can not do your works and you cannot do mine. We have to do those works according to God's standard and according to God's plan because He will require accountability off each and every one of us.
We read in Romans 2:6 “ God, WILL RENDER TO EACH PERSON ACCORDING TO HIS DEEDS: 7to those who by perseverance in doing good seek for glory and honor and immortality, eternal life; 8but to those who are selfishly ambitious and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, wrath and indignation. 9There will be tribulation and distress for every soul of man who does evil, of the Jew first and also of the Greek, 10but glory and honor and peace to everyone who does good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. 11For there is no partiality with God.”
How are we doing against God's plan for us? Is He pleased with us? We must make sure NOW that He is pleased with us and not wait until it is too late, when we stand in front of Him and we have not performed.
We can ask Him now for a performance appraisal. Ask Him now to show us whether He is pleased with us. We can repair, repent and correct now but if we wait too late, then it will be for ever too late. How are you doing according to God's plan for you? Is Jesus pleased with you?
May Jesus bless you.

Times of Refreshing

Most believers are not really following Jesus. They are sitting on the fence and they have not yet decided really, whether this is for them but there are some who have started following Jesus and they are finding it extremely difficult, they are grinding, because it is a grind.  It is hard work to stay on this narrow road and if anybody tells you it is easy, then he is not on that road.  But God promises us TIMES OF REFRESHING, SHOWERS OF BLESSING to those who ENDURE, to those who OVERCOME.  Because if we OBEY JESUS and we ENDURE, then we receive revelation from Him of Himself and He brings us into the presence of the Father, so that we can go sit at the table of the Father and feast with Him. I am talking about Spiritual blessings, not a new car, or a house, or promotion, or acceptance by the world. No, but being brought into the presence of the Living God, where His Light shines on you, and you KNOW that "I am a child of God. I am accepted by my Father and I am approved by Him, I belong, I belong to the King, I belong to God Almighty!"  That is reserved for those who walk the walk, who have overcome the flesh and who are led by the Spirit of God, because the Spirit of Christ in them, guides them.  They want to be guided, they want to overcome, they deny the flesh and they press on in because they know there is a prize, there are times of refreshing lying ahead if you stay the course.  You get into the presence of God and His Light shines on you.  You sit at His table and you feast while the rest have to look on.
 Do you want those Spiritual blessings? Do you want to be in the presence of God? Then you need to OBEY JESUS, you need to live in PURITY and HOLINESS, LISTEN to the HOLY SPIRIT.  Press on in until you break through and you are brought into the presence of God. Press on in.
May Jesus bless you.
