As Amir Tsarfati has said, "We are here for a greater cause, to share the Gospel and to help the church to wake up."
"But seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." - Jesus at Matthew 6:33
"Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it." - Matthew 7:14
Much has been written on this blog concerning prayer, and following is a powerful sermon by Pastor Charles Lawson on prayer. It will bless you.
"If you find your life of prayer to be always so short, and so easy, and so spiritual, as to be without cost and strain and sweat to you, you may depend on it, you have not yet begun to pray." - Alexander Whyte
"Be careful [anxious] for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God." - Philippians 4:6
"And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive." - Jesus at Matthew 21:22
"Rest in what God says. Do not live by your feelings." - David Wilkerson
"Trust in the LORD with all thine heart: And lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy path." - Proverbs 3:5-6
Following is another sermon by Pastor Charles Lawson, this time on the subject of faith. I pray you will take the time to watch this 31 minute video.
"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." - Hebrews 11:1
"But without faith it is impossible to please Him: for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him." - Hebrews 11:6
"Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man shall draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him." - Hebrews 10:38
The title of this post is "wake up and shine for Jesus". We need to be awake to the signs of the times; how Bible prophecy is being fulfilled today like never before, proving we are in the last moments of this current dispensation. Go to the search box in the upper right hand side of this page and enter things like "end times", or "the Rapture" and so on for more information on eschatology.
To wake up and shine for Jesus is to put Him first in our life, and to obey Him, and to follow in His footsteps as closely as we are able. We should share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with lost souls, and endeavor to live a life that is becoming to a Christian; a life that reflects Jesus.
Remember what the poem in my previous post said? "Only one life, 'twill soon be past; only what's done for Christ will last."
Romans 10: 9,10,13 tells us: (9) "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. (10)For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. (13) For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."
"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" - Romans 3:23
"For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." - Romans 6:23
"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." - Jesus at John 3:16
"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me." - John 14:6
Have a blessed and Christ centered weekend.... and life !!
