Do Not Be Ashamed of The Gospel

Theme for the Week: NOT ASHAMED OF THE GOSPEL

Reading: Mark 8:34-38

Mark 8:38 (KJV)
Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.

In today's passage, Jesus Christ gives us two alternatives to choose from. We can be bold to acknowledge now in this life and be acknowledged by Him in eternity; or ashamed to acknowledge Him and He shall also be ashamed to mention us in His Father's glory before the angels.

It is good that you accumulate wealth, but it is best to accumulate wealth in Jesus Christ. Since you will not be ashamed of letting others know your wealth, why are you ashamed to proclaim the gospel of Jesus?

Dear brethren, do not let the pleasure of enjoying what you accumulate here makes you lose focus on eternity. Just us we can talk of our wealth before others, let us also talk of the Gospel of Jesus.
Hallelujah!

Let's Pray:
Heavenly Father, we thank You. Lord, may we be bold to proclaim the gospel wherever You place us, in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Proclaim The Salvation of The Lord

Theme for the Week: NOT ASHAMED OF THE GOSPEL

Reading: Psalms 96:2-4

Psalms 96:2 (NIV)
Sing to the LORD, praise his name; proclaim His salvation day after day.

The salvation of the Lord stands fast and is sure. Nothing can stand in the way of the Lord's salvation, because the LORD God is forever faithful.

Knowing this, we should no more be silent. In the home, at the workplace, on the streets, let us proclaim that the Lord saves.

Let us proclaim that this salvation is for all. As many as may hear our voices, let them come near and taste of the Lord's salvation.
Shalom.

Let's Pray:
Heavenly Father, we thank You for Your salvation which You have provided for all. O Lord, draw all men to Your salvation in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Publicly Acknowledging Jesus

Theme for the Week: NOT ASHAMED OF THE GOSPEL

Reading: Luke 12:8-9

Luke 12:8 (NIV)
I tell you, whoever publicly acknowledges me before others, the Son of Man will also acknowledge before the angels of God.

Many people fear to speak of their faith in Jesus, thus deny Him in the process. How? Whenever we engage in an acts hoping that no one will think of us as a Christians, we deny Him.

Also, when we decide to  blend into society, accepting cultures with no Christian values at the expense of our hope in Jesus, and not to stand up for what is right, we deny Him. By these acts, we become silent about our relationship with God, and these gradually make us lose focus on Jesus.

On the other hand, we acknowledge Jesus when we live morally and uprightly, honouring Christ with our lives. When we love others, stand for justice, help those in need, use what we have for God's glory rather than ours, and seek means by which we can share our faith with others, we acknowledge Christ. 

Let us acknowledge Jesus, no matter the circumstances, and He will never deny us before God's angels. Hallelujah!

Let's Pray:
_Heavenly Father, we adore You. LORD God, increase our joy in You and help us acknowledge Your Son, Jesus Christ, at all times. Amen._

Be Ready For a Witness

Theme for the Week: NOT ASHAMED OF THE GOSPEL

Reading: 1 Peter 3:15-16

1 Peter 3:15 (NIV)
But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect,

The concept that "faith is in the heart" without living an exemplary lifestyle is very annoying. That has made many Christians not prepared to give an answer to their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

Answering questions concerning your faith is not being proud or rude; it is a means you can tell about what Christ has done in your life. It is very appalling to see someone called a Christian not being able to tell who a Christian is when asked.

Dear friend, it is high time we awoke from the slumber and studied to show ourselves approved; rightly dividing the word of truth.

Are you prepared to tell someone why you believe in Jesus Christ in meekness?
If not, then check yourself and live a life that will justify the hope you profess; and that you will be ready to answer anyone concerning your hope in the Lord Jesus Christ.
Stay blessed.

Let's Pray:
Almighty God, be praised forever. Father, may You keep us in Your will and teach us by Your Spirit that we will be ready for a witness about our faith in Jesus Christ. Amen.

Not Ashamed Of The Gospel

Theme for the Week: NOT ASHAMED OF THE GOSPEL

Reading: Romans 1:8-17

Romans 1:16 (KJV)
For I am not ashamed of the  gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

Christians of today seem to be relaxed about the Gospel of Christ. It appears that most do not care about winning souls anymore. Holding Bible, even to the temple, has become a problem for many not to talk of going out for a door-to-door evangelism, since they feel ashamed.

Paul was passionate about the spread of the Gospel, and that is seen throughout the passages for today. His determination and passion made him confident to talk to any race that comes his way, because he felt obligated.

The Gospel is the power of God unto salvation so we must not be ashamed of it. We must see it as an obligation, and put up all zeal and confidence to spreading the Gospel wherever we find ourselves to transform as many lives as we can touch. Selah.

Let's Pray:
Heavenly Father, be glorified. O LORD, may we never be ashamed of the Gospel, but that we may transform lives by it spread, in Jesus' name. Amen.
