WHAT ARE YOU WILLING TO FORFEIT IN EXCHANGE TO SECURE YOUR PLACE IN ETERNITY?

 

The video of the veteran gospel musician Panam Percy Paul where he spoke about the bargain of £24 million to leave out the name Jesus in his songs in 1995 pop up on me yesterday and I watched. 

I must thank God very much, that in the face of recent distractions and arguments amongst the body of Christ, whether or not to charge for ministration, He has sent us clarity. 

Now, PPP may not be materially celebrated for his loyalty to Jesus, infact, he may probably has lost money, opportunities and relationships but one thing is certain: He has secured his eternity with Christ. "Those who deny me, I'll deny, and does who accept me, I'll accept", Matt 10:33. 

2 Tim 3:2-5(AMSB)

"People will be self-centered lovers of themselves and obsessed with money..." 

I ask, Where do you stand? 

God is bringing a new dispensation and only those who align with His purpose will remain relevant. There is a downsize in the Kingdom so that the next generation of Christians will learn how to serve God the way He commands since He has endured the adulterated gospel a lot of us has choosen to preach and believe. God has grown increasingly dissatisfied from our lack of insensitivity and perpetual disobedience. 

You can mislead God's people with your action, either as a gospel minister or preacher but not for so long, know that the time has come where the wheat shall be separated from the tares, God is too invested in souls to allow them be ruined by disobedient individuals. So I ask again, Who is on the Lord's side? 

While I commend PPP for his stance, (Keep your Money, I'll keep my Jesus), the same cannot be said for the current generation of desperate believers who are too busy chasing money and fame.

While many of us may not have an actual human or organization walk up to us and say "Keep Jesus out of your lips and I'll give you five million", this same thing happens to us daily but in different scenarios. 

You are not the first, neither will you be last. Jesus had similar experience. The devil took him high up the mountain and said, "Hey, bow to me, all these glory is mine, I'll give it to you". Matt 4:9 

The most rampant scenario is letting what you are chasing (fame, money, luxurious lifestyle, family, career, business etc) steal away your first love Jesus- from you and have bowed to the devil.

Many have and many would trade their eternity for few cash if they are not careful, the days are near and satan indeed has exalt poverty to fight the world, in which the children of the living God are not exempted since we are on earth as well. These things will test your faith, and it is at this point He said, "Everyone who call upon the name of the Lord shall be save". Rom 10:13. 

Do not store up your treasure on earth, store up your treasures in heaven, were moths and termites will not reach it but store up treasures in heaven. Matt 6:19-21. 

On thing I know for certain is-If the world hate Jesus this much, then there is something special about Him. 

Lastly brethrens, if you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything, therefore choose wisely, Choose the Living God, the father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
