Have you ever thought of Judgement Day???

Come to think of this?

1. Eternal life = free
2. Church entrance = free
3. God’s salvation = free
4. God’s love = free
5. Breath of life = free

A. Cigarette = pay
B. Prostitution = pay
C. Alcohol = pay
D. Nightclub entrance fee = pay
E. Powers to rule the world = pay

Then why are people paying for hell while PARADISE is free?

Think twice
Believe in the oneness of God and you shall be saved…
We always think of Valentine’s day, Birth day, Father’s day, Mother’s day, Children’s day, Our day Farmer’s day, Teacher’s day, Christmas day, Independence day, Democracy day, Boxing day, This day, That day Day in Day out.

Have u ever thought of Judgement Day, is it going to be a day of celebration or condemnation for u?

If u’re safe, what about ur friends & loved ones. Show them love by telling them about the Judgement Day.

Thank God for Everything

A Rich man looked through his window and saw a man picking something from his dustbin. He said, Thank GOD I’m not poor.

The poor man looked around and saw a naked man misbehaving on the street. He said, Thank GOD I’m not mad.

The mad man looked ahead and saw an ambulance carrying a patient. He said, Thank GOD am not sick.

Then a sick person in hospital saw a trolley taking a dead body to the mortuary. He said, Thank GOD I’m not dead.

Only a dead person can not thank God (Psalm 115:17).

Why don’t you thank GOD today for giving you the opportunity to live another day?

Would you share with someone else, and let them know that God loves them too?

LIFE:
To understand it better, you have to go to 3 locations:

1. Hospital,
2. Prison &
3. Cemetery.

*At the Hospital, you will understand that nothing is more beautiful than HEALTH.

*In the Prison, you’ll see that FREEDOM is the most precious thing.

*At the Cemetery, you will realize that life is worth nothing. The ground that we walk today will be our roof tomorrow.

Let us, therefore, remain humble and be grateful for everything.

TRIALS DO US GOOD

 “The waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered” (Gen 7:19).

 In the Word of God, waters often refer to afflictions and sufferings. The Psalmist prays, “Save me, O God; for the waters are come in unto my soul” (Psa 69:1).

 God permits trials to ‘prevail exceedingly’ so that the high hills or our proud nature that often lifts its ugly head might be covered and crushed. The trials the Israelites encountered in the wilderness were intended to humble them (Deut 8:2).

 “The waters prevailed exceedingly” so that the whole earth was covered and the sky or heaven alone could be seen. Dear child of God, our sufferings are meant to cover our earthly nature with all its vanities – so that Christ and the heavenly nature alone may be seen in us.

 As the waters increased, “all flesh died” (vs 21). Destruction of ALL FLESH was the purpose of the flood waters. The tribulations we go through help us to strip off our fleshly and unsanctified natures. “Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin; that he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God” (I Pet 4:1,2).

 So dear child of God, welcome trials that are in the perfect will of God – they are a sure sign of God’s love for you!

HE KEEPS OUR FEET 

“He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: He that keepeth thee will not slumber” (Psa 121:3).

What privileged people we are! Our God has promised that He will not allow our feet which have been set on the Rock of Ages (Psa 40:2), to be moved or shaken.

“He shall give His angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways” (Psa 91:11,12). “He will keep the feet of His saints” (I Sam 2:9). Is it not amazing that not only are the holy angels holding us in their mighty hands that our feet may not dash against a stone, but the Lord also is Himself watching over our feet night and day – He doesn’t ever slumber or sleep!

However, if the Lord is to keep our feet we have a part to play. “I have refrained my feet from every evil way” (Psa 119:101). Here ‘feet’ means ‘walk of life’. In other words, when our walk of life is free from all known evil, the Lord will preserve our feet from being shaken and also from falling. “Thou hast delivered… my feet from falling” (Psa 116:8).

If God is caring and keeping our feet, the lowest part of the body, how much more He must be willing to care for our head – to keep it from evil thoughts, imaginations etc! If God cares so much for our body, how much more He must care for our soul!

NAME AND FAME

 “A man was famous according as he had lifted up axes upon the thick trees. But now they break down the carved work thereof at once with axes and hammers” (Psa 74:5,6).

 How true it is that, just as we read here in the Bible, most of famous people, both in the world or in Bible descriptions, are not always very good people! Here, what is this famous man doing? He lifts up axes upon the thick trees. Axes show carnal weapons and thick trees show great saints. How often we see that those who manipulate affairs to become well-known and popular, are destroyers of saints and the Church of God!

 “They break down the carved work thereof at once with axes and hammers.” Those who try to become famous are not spiritual people; on the contrary, they are carnal and their works very often destroy the work of God rather than build it. Most of the famous people mentioned in the Bible were also such – like the “two hundred and fifty princes of the assembly, famous in the congregation, men of renown” (Num 16:2). What these renowned people did was to rebel against God and their leaders. Nadab and Abihu who rebelled against Moses and the leaders, were also famous people (Num 26:2).

 Dear child of God, if you wield your worldly wisdom and influence you may become famous (maybe in the church), but your fame, rather than helping the work of God, may destroy it. It is always good to run away from name and fame, to be hidden in the clefts of the Rock, the Lord Jesus Christ.

           “True greatness doesn’t lie with those

           Who strive for worldly fame;

          It lies with those who choose

        To serve in Jesus’ Name.”

PRECIOUSNESS OF THE BLOOD OF JESUS

 It is said that there are at least fifteen types of human blood groups. Normally a blood test can prove whether or not a particular man is the father of a particular child. The blood of the child and its father can be checked scientifically for some genetic connection. BUT THE BLOOD OF JESUS IS UNIQUE. He had no earthly father. Everyone inherits blood group factors at conception but the blood of Jesus could not be grouped because it was singular. It is free from any genetic inheritance or connection. His Father was His heavenly Father, the eternal, everlasting Father. The blood of Christ, therefore, is also called the blood of God. “The church of GOD, which He hath purchased with HIS OWN BLOOD” (Acts 20:28).

 “And the angel said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon you and the power of the Highest shall overshadow you; therefore, also, THAT HOLY ONE WHO IS TO BE BORN WILL BE CALLED THE SON OF GOD” (Luke 1:35). This clearly proves that Jesus had no biological father. His blood is therefore PRECIOUS BLOOD. “Ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold… but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot” (1 Pet 1:18,19).

 Dear reader, you are redeemed by the precious blood of Jesus Christ. You are precious to God as His precious blood was shed to redeem you.

           “Precious, precious blood of Jesus

            Ever flowing free;

           O, believe it; O, receive it –

           ’Tis for thee.”

INFLUENCE OF A GOOD EXAMPLE

 “Follow my example as I follow the example of Christ” (I Cor 11:1 NIV).

 Once a pastor called one of his believers on the phone. The man’s little boy answered the call. The pastor introduced himself and asked for his father. The boy said, “Hang on,” and then the servant of God could hear some whispering going on. After one or two minutes the boy said, “Pastor, dad says that he is not here!”

 We tell our children to be honest, and punish them when they tell lies, but how can we expect them to be honest unless we ourselves are an example to them? The best gift you can give to your children is your good example.

       “As an open book they your life will read,

        To your words and acts giving daily heed;

        Will they be attracted or turn away

        From the Christ you profess today?”

 When a young rose plant is tied to a stick, it helps the plant to grow straight. Afterwards you may remove the supporting stick; it will continue to grow straight. But if the young plant is not tied to a straight stick in the beginning, later on it will be too late to help it and the rose plant may grow up crooked. “Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it” (Prov 22:6).
