  • SOUL-WINNING IS YOUR PRIMARY ASSIGNMENT ON EARTH

    SOUL-WINNING IS YOUR PRIMARY ASSIGNMENT ON EARTH

    And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
    Mark 16:15 (KJV)

    When we say that something is of primary importance, we mean to say that it ranks first and that it is of first importance or value; that it is direct and immediate rather than secondary.  If it is primary then it is the most important element of all considerations.  As a believer, soul-winning is your primary assignment on earth.  When you surrendered your heart to the Lord Jesus Christ, He would have called you home immediately; but He chose to leave you here on earth, why?  It is because when you are born again, you become the Christ that your world sees; you become the extension of divinity to your sphere of contacts.  You are now the light of your world; the salt of your world.  They are lost and hopeless without you.  Your presence produces preservation and illumination to your sphere of contacts.  The instrument of that illumination is the gospel of Jesus Christ.  2 Corinthians 4:4 talks about the light of the glorious gospel of Christ.  When you share the gospel, you are shining the light to your sphere of contacts.  Your business/career is a vehicle to convey you to the people in your world.  Your career/business is not your primary assignment.  It is utter misplacement of priority to make your career/business as your primary assignment.  Your business/career is only a point of contact for you to communicate the gospel to your world.

    Our Lord Jesus commanded us to go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. You probably cannot go to all the world but you can go to your world.  Your world is your sphere of contacts – your family, friends, colleagues, associates, and people you meet on a day to day basis.  Beloved, your goal should be to present the gospel in such a clear term that everyone in your sphere has the opportunity to make a decision either to obey the gospel or not.  Remember, you can persuade, you can compel but you cannot force someone to accept the gospel.  Once you have done your best and the person has understood what the gospel is all about and still rejects it, then you are free from that person’s blood.  You can invite a colleague to church.  You can hand a waiter a handbill.  You can talk to your mechanic.  You can ensure that all your family that benefits from your resources are compelled to be in church.  Everyone under your roof must be made to appear in church.  All these efforts is to give them the opportunity to hear the gospel and make a decision for their eternity.

    Have you lived with a misplaced priority?  Have you focused on your job to the detriment of the gospel?  Have you been ashamed of sharing the gospel with your business partners?  It is foolishness to be shameful of what is gainful.  The most important thing on earth is the soul of man.  If you are too ashamed to help someone escape the horrors of eternity without God, then you are the most foolish person around.  You are callous and if it is not too make to say even wicked.  A believer that is not committed to sharing the gospel to his/her world is beyond words despicable.  If you understand that everyone without Christ is heading to an eternity in flames of hell and you do nothing, you are beyond words wicked.  Please understand today that preaching the gospel is your primary assignment here on earth and it holds the key to how much divine intervention and manifestation you can experience in your own life.  Selah!

    REMEMBER:   Preaching the gospel with your lifestyle and words is your first and most important task on earth.

    CONFESSION:  I am an ambassador of Christ on earth dispensing eternal verities to the peoples of the world.  I do not fail.  I am the light bearer both in the way I live and in the words that I speak.  Christ is seen in me and through me.  Hallelujah!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE:  I decree that the channels of your spirit open up to your primary assignment to the gospel in the name of Christ Jesus Amen!

  • THE TIME IS SHORT

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Tuesday October 6, 2020

    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.  God 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 God is doing in the world today, Israel is the point of contact for it. God’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.  God 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.

    From the time that the Messiah was cut off to His second coming is 2000 years.  Some Theologians believe that AD 33 was the time the Messiah was cut off.  If we go by that date, 2033 will be 2000 years from that cutting off.  The Church of Jesus Christ on earth today is the restraining forces that is withholding the manifestation of the Anti-Christ (II Thessalonians 2:3-12).  The stage however, is set for the Anti-Christ, the only thing remaining is the rapture of the Church.  Once the Church is taken away at rapture, the man of sin (the Anti-Christ) will be revealed.  Jesus Christ is coming back after 2000 years according to the prophetic scriptures and before that time, the Anti-Christ will be here seven years.  It is towards the end of the seven years with the time of intense heat for Israel that their Messiah will emerge, destroying the Anti-Christ and beginning the 1000 years reign from Jerusalem.

    We are in 2020.  Remove seven years from 2033, you have 6 years.  If the dates are anything to go by, then we have between now and maximum 6-10 years to expect the rapture of the church.  Should every living soul around the world not hear that time is running out to make a decision about their eternity?  If you are born again, you should preach the gospel with such velocity because time is short.  If you are not born again, you should know that time is running out.  Unfortunately it is only humanity that does not know but the adversary the devil knows this very well.  Within the next six years, we are specially suppose to be rapture conscious.  The events unfolding before our eyes all allude to this shortness of time.  There is a threat to have every inhabitant of the earth vaccinated by 2030.  What is in the vaccines?  You have probably heard of quantum dots vaccines being developed by MIT engineers. You have probably also heard of ID2020, the program to leverage immunization as an opportunity to establish digital identity.  Beloved, all these are being proposed to be implanted either on the forehead or right hand (see Revelation 13:16-18).  When we say the time is short, prophetically, it is even at the door.  Preach the Word!  Win a soul today!  Save somebody from eternal doom!  Shalom!

    REMEMBER:  There is an urgency in the spirit to soul-winning now because time is very short.

    PRAYER:   Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for insight into prophetic timeline.  I ask that you awaken every believer to the urgency of the moment.  I ask that you open the eyes of the unsaved to the light of the glorious gospel today in Jesus Name Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE:   Everything that makes you at ease in Zion is cursed today in the name of Christ Jesus Amen!

  • THE VALUE OF A SOUL

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Friday October 2, 2020

    THE VALUE OF A SOUL

    For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
    John 3:16 [KJV]

    The value of a thing is determined amongst others by the price you have to pay for it.  So cost determines value.  The value of the soul of man can be seen by the cost our Heavenly Father paid to buy it back from sin and Satan.  The soul of man is made to live forever.  The Soul of man is what will finally end up in heaven or in hell/lake of fire.  The breathe of God at creation was what gave birth to the soul of man (see Genesis 2:7).  So the soul of man is a spiritual reality. Man is not a body.  Flesh and blood cannot not inherit the kingdom of God (see I Corinthians 15:50).  God created man to be like Him and to be His Authority on Earth.  However, man handed this authority to the devil, selling himself as a slave to the devil (see Luke 4:6).  Man thwarted the plan of God in collaboration with Satan.  God in His mercy hashed a redemption plan for man.  It is important to understand that nothing in heaven or on earth could do anything about redeeming man because the cost is absolutely not affordable by them.

    The soul of man is so precious that compared with the worth of the whole world, all the glory of the world pales in the light of the value of a single soul.  See what the Lord Jesus says in Mark 8:36, ‘For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?’  A single soul of man is worth more than all the whole world.  Think about it.  That is to give you a glimpse into the worth of a single soul of man.  The value of the soul of man necessitated that God the Father, proceed to the earth in the Son to pay the dues man was owing in order to redeem him.  No angel could substitute.  No creature could contribute anything.  It was a day of gloom in heaven when the price of man’s sin was paid.  All the agonies of Christ Jesus, was not to establish a religion but to satisfy the demand of justice for the redemption of the soul of man.

    Beloved, the price for your salvation has already been fully paid, why are you still a slave to sin, Satan and sickness?  Why are you scorning the sacrifice of Christ Jesus on the cross by the way you live today? (see Hebrews 10:29)  If you finally land yourself in the lake of fire, it wouldn’t be because God didn’t do His part but it would be because you chose to go there.  As a believer, God has given you the privilege to herald the good news of what Jesus Christ has done to every one soul.  Your prosperity is tied to your faithfulness in executing this.  Whatever God has given you is in order to help you do this business well.  Are you on course with this task of soul-winning? Why not?

    REMEMBER:   The value and glory of the whole world is nothing compared to the value of a single soul of man.

    PRAYER:  Dear Father, thank you for paying the price for the redemption of my soul.  I believe in Jesus Christ that he came, died, was buried and rose again to give me eternal life.  I believe in the price that He has paid for my redemption.  Help me to be faithful in telling every other person about the gospel in the name of Christ Jesus Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE:   I release the passion for the salvation of the lost into your spirit man now in the name of Christ Jesus Amen!
