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.

Play Your Part Well

Theme for the Week: THE TRANSFORMED PERSON APPRECIATES OTHERS

Reading: 1 Corinthians 12:21-26

1 Corinthians 12:25 (ESV)
That there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same care for one another.

Do unto others as you want others to do unto you: this is the general rule for life that is ascertained by putting together God's Law and the Prophets (see Mt. 7:12). Many people want to be appreciated, but don't want to appreciate others.

Christianity is not just about yourself; it is about getting involved in the lives of others. Whatever you do as a believer must seek to exalt others also. Do not be like those who seem to figure out the speck in others, while there is a beam in theirs.

Do you want to be appreciated? Play your part well. Acknowledge the role of others in your life; appreciate them, and you shall be acknowledged and appreciated for what you do in the lives of others.
Stay blessed.

Let's Pray:
Mighty LORD, You deserve all honour and praise. Father, empower us to play our parts well in the lives of others as agents of change, in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Watch and Pray

Theme for the Week: THE TRANSFORMED PERSON PRAYS FOR THE PREACHERS OF THE GOSPEL

Reading: Nehemiah 4:7-9

Nehemiah 4:9 (KJV) 

Nevertheless we made our prayer to our God, and set a watch against them day and night, because of them.

Great persecution comes with channelling a good cause. However, fighting back do not solve it, but escalate things. The best way to stay on purpose is to pray to God for protection and then apply the wisdom He gives you.

Nehemiah and his people realized this, so they first called on God and then focused on what was before them instead of their foes, as the keep guard. Never be misguided by the fear of persecutions; face them with prayer and wisdom.

The Gospel of Christ is the greatest thing that happened to man, and any attempt to make it known would call for the highest persecutions. Nevertheless, since the Gospel is of God and is not ours, let us hand the battle that comes with it to God through prayer. 

Do not stop at prayer, apply the wisdom of God and be guarded that they may not fall on you unaware. Watch and pray.
Stay blessed.

Let's Pray:
Omnipotent God, You have all power. We pray You, o Lord, that You protect every preacher from their persecutors and grant Your people the wisdom to be guarded in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
