TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN THIS PARTNERSHIP (6): POSSESS ETERNITY DESTINATION CONVICTION

when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, 8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
II Corinthians 1:7-8 (KJV)

For you to be successful in soul-winning, you must have a firm conviction that anyone that does not obey Jesus and His gospel is lost in eternity in the lake of fire. That is what our opening text is saying in essence. Jesus Christ is the way to eternity in heaven. There is no alternative whatsoever. You must be fanatical to this conviction that the gospel is the only escape route from the destruction that awaits every unsaved soul. If it is, then you hold the key to someone’s eternity in heaven. That is a grave realization. It is that understanding that drives one to attack the task of the gospel with reckless abandon. Think about it, all the people you know now that do not obey the gospel are hell bound unless they repent and obey the gospel. And to think that this same gospel of salvation has been committed to your trust is so sobering to think about. No wonder Apostle Paul said that he was made all things to all people so that he might by all means save some (see I Corinthians 9:22). See what Apostle Paul says in II Corinthians 5:11, ‘Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.’ He understood that humanity is lost without the gospel. This gave him the temerity to persuade men into the Kingdom of Yahweh.

PARTNERING WITH THE LORD INVOLVES (2): PREACHING THE GOSPEL

PARTNERING WITH THE LORD INVOLVES (2): PREACHING THE GOSPEL

And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.
Mark 16:20 (KJV)

There is nothing sophisticated or special about preaching. Every believer is called to preach. To preach simply means to proclaim, to declare, to publish; to herald. When you talk to your colleague about his eternal destiny, and what the Lord Yahushua has done for him, that is preaching. Preaching is not for special people. It is not for pastors, evangelists, etc. No! A thousand times No! They were a minimum of 120 people that the Lord Yahushua gave the command to go and preach. They were not all apostles or teachers. They were just believers. Some of you go for lunch with your colleagues and all the while you are talking about your football clubs; that is preaching about your football clubs. You could even hear some people arguing about their favourite players from a mile away during lunch break. Beloved, that is exactly what preaching is all about. Instead of talking what does not have eternal value, why not talk about Yahushua HaMashiach. The time is very short. Make the most of every opportunity to help someone make a decision about where he/she would spend eternity.

THE TIME IS SHORT

THE TIME IS SHORT

Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
Revelation 12:12 (KJV)

The devil knows that he has but a short time but unfortunately so many Christians do not know that they have but a short time on this side of eternity. Today we are going to look at prophetic timeline and see why soul-winning is so urgent at such a time as this. Yahweh gave Daniel a vision of what He will do in the end times and it is commonly referred to as the seventy weeks of Daniel (Dan. 9:23-27). The seventy weeks of Daniel is the prophetic timeline of Israel as a nation and people. Whatever Yahweh is doing in the world today, Israel is the point of contact for it. Yahweh’s agenda is in relation to the covenant He made with the ancestors of Israel, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. In prophetic language, one week is equal to seven years. So seventy weeks is equal to 490 years. Yahweh said that seventy weeks is given to Israel to finish transgression. This seventy weeks started from the 7th year of King Artaxerxes being April 3, 458 BC (Gregorian calendar). From 458 BC to the time the Messiah was cut off around April 3, 33 AD was 69 weeks. This vision of Daniel and the one given to Nebuchadnezzar are one and points to the same end time events. From the Vision of Nebuchadnezzar, the ankle of that image which prophetically is referred as the “Parenthesis” is the times of the gentles which is the age of the Church. One week was remaining from the vision of Daniel which represents the time (seven years of Anti-Christ) of Jacob’s trouble when the Anti-Christ will break the treaty with Israel and unleash persecution which will culminate in the second return of the Messiah.

WHAT FASTING OFFERS (5): BEST WAY TO PREPARE FOR THE RAPTURE

WHAT FASTING OFFERS (5): BEST WAY TO PREPARE FOR THE RAPTURE

So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many? and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.Hebrews 9:28 (KJV)

“And unto them that look for him” is the requirement for the rapture. Unto them that yearn for him shall he appear the second time unto salutation. Beloved, are you longing for the return of the Lord Yahushua? The thought of the return of the Lord Yahushua is not a pleasant one for many. Young ladies on the line for marriage would say “let Him wait till I marry!” Same with young men on the line for marriage. So many believers want the Lord to delay His coming so they can achieve one thing or the other. They are not even desiring His coming let alone looking for it. The truth is that when you are living with a lot of worldliness, you would not desire His soon return. You are in love with the things of the world and for you His return is a distraction. Many believers would run away from pulpits that constantly remind them of the eminent return of the Lord. The ears of so many believers have started itching at the sound of Maranatha! (our Lord come!). Why? Because fasting has become a thing for pastors and ministers for so many believers. No wonder, worldliness has eaten into the very fabrics of our souls. This world now holds so much attraction and lure for many that there is no longer any difference between them and the world. In fact, they are now imitating the world.

THE WORD IS ETERNAL

THE WORD IS ETERNAL

For ever, O Lord, thy word is settled in heaven.
Psalms 119:89 (KJV)

It is the settled Word that settles every issue in your life. The Word of Yahweh is forever settled. Nothing can unsettle the Word. Whatever in your life that is contradicting the Word now can be settled by the Word if you can partner with the settled Word today. If you are sick, for instance, and you partner with Isaiah 53:1-5 which is already fulfilled in Matthew 8:17 and has become a past tense in I Peter 2:24, then that scriptural calculus can terminate whatever sickness, disease or satanic affliction, the bogus name given to it by doctors notwithstanding. That is how the Word settles issues in our lives. The Word is eternal. That means that it is forever. The Word does not change. It will never change because of your situation. Whatever is confronting you now will never make the Word to change, instead the Word has the capacity and capability to change your situation to conform to the Word. Beloved, the Word cannot change. The Word is eternal and constant. Beloved, your circumstances are fleeting and you must commonize them today in the face of the eternal infallible Word of Yahweh. The Lord brought out slaves from captivity with silver and gold. No matter what your financial situation is saying today, you can rise to supernatural order of wealth and affluence by the Word of Yahweh. If you will be diligent to observe and obey the Word, there is a guarantee in Deuteronomy 28:1 that you will emerge on top of whosoever that evokes your admiration now.
