Sermon Series: Watch Out: "Don’t Let The Devil Pick Your Pocket!"

Sermon Part: “The Kindness of God Toward You Is Endless.”

Here is a News Flash for you. The Devil is after your money! This really should not be a surprise to anyone, especially to born-again Christians. Most Christians are very well acquainted with Jesus Christ's words recorded at John 10:10. Jesus Christ said, 

 

The thief cometh not but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. But I have come that you might have life and life more abundantly.

 

Also, consider what the Apostle Peter wrote at I Peter 5:8-9:

 

Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour; Whom resist steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.

 

 

As a born-again Christian, you need to be sober and watchful, as more than anything else, the devil is after two things in your life: (1) Your wealth, and (2) Your health. God, above all things, desires for His people to prosper and be in health, as we grow in the knowledge of Him through Jesus Christ. (III John 2)  Conversely, the devil, above all things, desires God's people to be financially broke and sick, as Christians continue to fashion their lives after the world’s way of thinking and doing things.

 

As a Pastor and teacher, I try all that is within me to teach born-again Christians to only see and conduct their lives from heaven's perspective. Meaning, to only see themselves as God sees them—through the life of Jesus Christ. Indeed, our lives are hidden in Christ—so we must fully grasp and accept who we are, and where we sit, in God in Christ Jesus. For as Jesus Christ is, so are we in this world. (I John 4:17)

 

We need to transform our way of thinking and doing things to God's way of thinking and doing things. (Rom 12:1-2) If we are true worshippers of Jesus Christ, we have already denied ourselves, taken up our cross, and are following after Him. Therefore, we have only one Agenda. That is, God's Agenda!

 

As God's people we should put on the same mindset of the Apostle Paul who wrote the following at Galatians 2:20:

 

I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. 

 

Every born-again Christian must come into the full knowledge that their past sinful life was crucified with Christ, and now Christ lives in them. As such, we should no longer be engaged in self-centeredness. We must lose all sight and memory of “me, myself, and I.” 

We should no longer be striving to become the "best versions of ourselves." Trying in our own strength to be a good person, and do good deeds. No, no, no, Jesus Christ is living in and through us now. And, a part from Jesus Christ, we can do nothing. (John 15:5) But through Jesus Christ, we can do all things who infuses us with strength! (Php. 4:13)

Moreover, praise God, the life we now live is by the very faith of Jesus Christ. Jesus' faith is in God and His Word. Therefore, our faith is also in God and His Word, and not in man or any other thing in this world! (Mark 10:23)

Thus, all thought, reasoning, logic, philosophy, wisdom, or science that does not line up with the Word of God is false and dead wrong!  The Holy Bible is the final authority. Jesus Christ said heaven and earth shall pass away but the Word of God shall stand and remain forever. (Matt. 24:35) Whatever the Holy Bible says, we allow the faith of Jesus Christ to go to work, to grab a hold of the promise of God contained in the Word, and bring it into physical manifestation.

The Holy Bible declares when we were crucified with Jesus Christ we were also raised again to a new life in Him. (Rom. 6:5) Through Jesus Christ, God has quickened, gathered, and raised us all up together and seated us together in Jesus Christ at the right hand of God. In Christ, we are new creatures, and all things have become new. (Eph. 2:1-6 & II Cor. 5:17) 

 

I would also remind you that we are blessed with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. We have been made holy, blameless, and accepted in the beloved. The blood of Jesus Christ has washed away our sins, and we have been given an inheritance of forgiveness. (Eph. 1:3-7) And, our born-again hearts are complete in God—filled with all of the fullness of the God in Christ Jesus. (Col. 2:10)

Now watch this, examine Ephesians 2:7. Prepare yourselves to receive this exceedingly great and precious promise through the faith of Jesus Christ. The Apostle Paul tells us the reason why God seated us all together at the right hand of God. Paul wrote:

 

That in the ages (perpetuity) to come he might show forth the exceeding riches of the grace in his kindness towards us through Christ Jesus.

 

Say this with me, “By the grace of God in Christ Jesus, I have received the immeasurable riches of God through His kindness towards me forevermore!”

The Greek translation of the word “riches” is "ploutos," which conveys the meaning to increase with money, possessions, or wealth in fullness—or figuratively speaking “abundance.” In fact, throughout most of the New Testament the words; “rich,” “riches,” and “richly” all refer to money and possessions.

 

I beseech (beg) every born-again Christian everywhere to come into the knowledge that God has made us all to sit together in heavenly places in Jesus Christ at the right hand of God, so that throughout all eternity He might liberally and lavishly supply us with untold wealth, money, and possessions. And, I tell you, the devil is very angry about it!

 

But, the devil is powerless stop us from receiving the riches of God, without our permission. Paul said, "But my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus." (Php. 4:19) God has supplied all our need (demand, want, desire) by heaven’s standards and measures. We must appropriate the faith of Jesus Christ to receive it.

 

Let this truth sink deep into your understanding: "GOD IS KIND." Say it with me, "GOD IS KIND." We say “God is good all the time.” It is also accurate to say, "God is Kind all of the time.” As we sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus—God’s “Kindness” is extended towards us—His friendship, generosity, and consideration for everything that concerns us.”

 

Think about God's relationship with Adam, the father of all of mankind. God gave to Adam dominion and authority over the earth. (Gen. 1:26) God placed Adam in the Garden of Eden to dress and keep it. God also gave to Adam every tree good for food to eat, and warned him of the dangers of eating the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. (Gen. 2:15-17)

 

God created all of the animals, brought them to Adam and gave him the privilege of naming each one. (Gen. 2:19-20) God then created Eve from Adam who he married and called woman. (Gen. 2:21-24). In God’s benediction over mankind—God the master architect of All creation—blessed male and female and commanded them to be fruitful, multiply, and replenish the earth. (Gen.1:28)

 

To top it all off, God daily came and fellowshipped with Adam and Eve who were clothed with the glory of God, naked and unashamed. (Gen. 2:25) The first couple enjoyed nothing but righteousness, peace, and joy with God. And, do you know what all of this was that Adam and Eve received?  It was just God being God: “Excessively “Kind” towards Adam and Eve.

 

The kindness God showed toward Adam and Eve, is not even to be compared with the loving kindness we now enjoy being seated in God in Christ Jesus. God, our Father, has chosen to show us the exceeding greatness of the riches of His kindness toward us throughout eternity. Let me tell you upfront in this Series why God is “Kind” towards you. The reason is because God wants to teach you how to treat Him with Kindness, as well as your neighbor—every person on earth, including your enemy!

 

Please understand that “eternity” has no start, nor end date. Therefore, this very moment, God is pouring out His loving kindness of wealth, money, and possessions towards us! He is pouring it out on you now—all you have to do is receive it by the faith of Jesus Christ in you!

The truth is: the death of Jesus Christ on the cross, and His resurrection from the dead, was all in preparation for us to receive God's exceedingly great riches of His kindness towards us. Paul pinned the following at II Cor. 8:9:

 

For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that ye through His poverty might be rich.

 

Jesus Christ's blood shed on the cross washed away all of our sins. Due to Adam’s fall in the Garden of Eden, sin had separated us from God, and God’s kindness towards us. (Rom. 5:12)

 

Expressed another way, the Apostle Paul wrote, Christ died on the tree so that the blessing of Abraham (the blessing of wealth, health, longevity and protection from all enemies) might come on the Gentiles by faith. Look at the “Kindness” of God! When we received the Holy Ghost, the blessing of Abraham came on us, and we became blessed with material wealth and substance. (Gal. 3:13-14, 3:6-9, Gen. 12:1-5 25:1)

 

If you are a born-again Christian, you have the blessing of Abraham on your life! Praise God, you can't see a blessing, it's spiritual, you can’t see the Anointing...but you sure can see the results of the blessing, which are tangible:  Material wealth and substance. If you will release the faith of Jesus Christ living in your born-again heart for the promise of God, you will see the manifestation of the blessing of Abraham come on your life!

 

I love it! God is so kind towards us that He says anyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be made rich! (Rom. 10:12) Our God is so full of grace and mercy that the Scripture says it’s the goodness of God that brings a man to repentance. (Rom. 2:4)

 

It makes perfect sense that God would make us rich. If He spared not Jesus Christ, His only begotten Son, how shall he not also freely give us all things with him? (Rom 8:32) Did you see that? With Jesus, God will give us all things. It's with faith in Jesus Christ and His finished works, God freely gives us all things. Thus, when you obeyed the Voice of Jesus, and began following after Him, God also began making you financially rich. Just receive it by faith!

 

Now, let's also understand that God does not rain down money and material substance from heaven. For example, a house falling down from heaven could injure, or even kill somebody. It was far more expedient, that Jesus Christ would return to heaven after His resurrection from the dead, and that He would send to us the Holy Ghost. In this way, the Holy Ghost would be in all of us who believe in Jesus Christ. (John 16:7)

 

When we received the Holy Ghost, we received supernatural power from God. The power of the Holy Ghost gives us the authority and ability to preach the gospel to win the lost to Christ, and do the same works and greater works of Christ. However, what many Christians do not realize is that the power of the Holy Ghost also causes us to accumulate wealth.

 

The word “power” in the Greek Translation is, “dunamis” which is also translated, "abundance." The Holy Ghost has been tasked to deliver the abundant life to us that Jesus Christ promised, to all who would believe in Him. (John 10:10)

 

The Holy Ghost is an abundance maker! He seeks to manifest abundance in our lives, as another way to witness Christ, and draw the people of this world to Jesus Christ. (Acts 1:8) The Holy Ghost gives us the power to get wealth, to establish the covenant God made with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob—to be blessing to all families of the earth. More on this in a moment. (Deut. 8:18, Gen. 12:3)

 

Before I move on from this introduction on the kindness of God towards us, I want you to reemphasize that God desires to teach us, “God-Kindness,”—so we may walk in godliness—and be like God in the earth.  If you say you love God, then you must also be kind, because kindness is the fruit of God’s love. (I Cor. 13:4). And, if you are kind, it means you friendly, generous, and considerate towards God, and all people, including your enemies.

 

Tell me are you friendly, generous, and considerate towards God and all people? Christians love to say they love God and other people, but acts of kindness bear the proof that you love God and people.

 

Now with that introduction, let’s establish that there are three fundamental ways in which we are to release the power of God to get wealth (money and material possessions) flowing into our hands. We will discuss each of the three ways and show how Christians have allowed the devil to pick their pockets—robbing them of the blessing of wealth.

 

God’s kindness is continually shown towards us, but it’s up to each of us to position ourselves to receive it through the practice of Kingdom principles. (God placed Adam in the Garden of Eden. But then, Adam had to dress and keep it. God gave Him every tree in the Garden to eat the fruit of, but Adam had to harvest the fruit and eat it. Faith must have works to survive!)

 

The three ways God has purposed wealth to flow into our hands is through:

  1. Preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ and winning the lost to Christ.
  2. Wise investment of money earned through righteous labor.
  3. Giving of tithes and offerings to the local Church.

 

The absence of wealth within the body of Christ has been extremely detrimental to building up the body of Christ, personal generational wealth building, and the elimination of poverty within the Church and communities in which we seek to serve all over the world.

 

In today’s Lesson, I will cover the first way of building wealth—through the preaching of the gospel of Jesus Christ to the lost. This is by far of the three ways, most neglected by the Church and born-again Christians individually.

 

Frankly speaking, very few Christians even believe that preaching the gospel will release the blessing of money, and possessions into their hands. Yet, this is God’s primary way of getting wealth into our hands and seeing to it that we lack nothing!  

 

Most Church leaders are afraid (if they are knowledgeable of this truth) to teach born-again Christians that winning souls to Jesus Christ results in God rewarding them with money and material wealth and substance—for fear that they will be viewed as being obsessed with, or chasers after money. This is sad because we just learned in our introduction that the fundamental reason why we have been seated together in Christ Jesus in heavenly places, is so we can receive the riches of God throughout all eternity!

 

“Money” is not the root of all evil—only the ‘love of money.” (I Tim. 6:10) God has made it abundantly clear regarding who we are to love whole-heartedly. That is, God Almighty and the people of this world, including our enemies. (Matt. 22:37 & 5:44) We are to never fall in love with things. (I John 2:15)

 

No matter what religion has taught, or what people think and say about Christianity and Money, as I noted before, the Holy Bible is the final authority, and the truth must be preached regardless of who chooses to believe it, or not believe it! Let God be true, and every man a liar! (Rom. 3:4) Forget about the foolish wisdom of people and trust in the Lord. God is kind towards us and desires that His people prosper in every arena of life. (Ps. 35:27)

 

The gospel (the almost too good to be true news) was first preached to Abraham, and we are children of Abraham, if we believe in Jesus Christ. (Gal. 3:6-9) Thus, we need to look first at what God blessed Abraham with when he preached the gospel, and believe that the same is true for us today. For God never changes. He is forever the same.

 

It was God who had called Abram (later named Abraham) and commanded him to leave his country and father’s house and go into land that He would show him (later revealed as the land of Canaan). God promised to make from Abraham’s loins a great nation, to bless him, make his name great, and that he would be a blessing. That he would bless those people who would bless him, and curse those who would curse him. And, through the blessed seed of Abraham (Christ) all nations (families) of the earth would be blessed. (Gen. 12:1-3)  Look at God—being God—promising to be excessively kind to Abraham and his seed after him.

 

Genesis 12: 4-5 tells us that Abraham obeyed God and departed from Horan with Sari his wife, his nephew lot and his family. It also tells us that with Abraham’s substance (inheritance from his father), he also took with him the souls that they had gathered in Haran.

 

Remember, God told Abraham specifically to get out of his country and father’s house. God never told Abraham to tell others about the promise. But the promise God made to Abraham was so good, so kind, and so great that he couldn’t keep it to himself!  So Abraham preached the good news, not only to Sarah and his nephew Lot and his family, but also to hundreds of other families in Haran. Such that a large throng of people left with Abraham from Haran.

 

Afterwards, when Abraham and Sarah sojourned into Egypt, the Pharaoh of Egypt blessed Abraham with an abundance of material substance and menservants. Even so much that when Abraham came up out of Egypt; Abraham became very rich in cattle, silver, and in gold. (Gen. 12:14-16 & 13:1-2) It is the blessing of the Lord that makes a man rich and adds no sorrow with it. (Prov. 10:22)

 

Again, Galatians 3: 9 reads:

 

So then they which be of faith (in Jesus Christ) are blessed with faithful Abraham.

 

Just as when Abraham preached the gospel in Haran and God blessed him with wealth, so it is also when born-again Christians preach the gospel of Jesus Christ to the lost and win souls to Christ, God blesses them with money and possessions. God just wants us to believe, and go do it!

As Jesus Christ ministered in the earth for three-and half years, He frequently talked about and demonstrated the supernatural financial benefits that would come on anyone who would follow after Him, and work in the Lord’s vineyard winning souls.

 

For example, do you remember when Jesus Christ called Peter, James, and John to become His followers? (See Luke 5:1-11)

 

The story goes that as Jesus stood by the lake of Gennesaret, He saw two ships standing by the lake. The crowds were massive around Jesus, and were anxious to hear the Word of God. He entered into one of the ships, owned by Simon Peter whose partners, James and John the Sons of Zebedee, were also on the ship. Jesus told Simon Peter to thrust out a little from the land, and from there He taught the people.

 

Afterwards, Jesus told Simon Peter to launch out into the deep and let down their nets for a catch. Simon replied to Jesus that they had been fishing all night long and had caught nothing. Nevertheless, in obedience to the command of Jesus, they let down the net.

 

When they had done this they caught a great multitude of fishes, such that it broke their nets. They called out to their other partners which were in the other ship to come and help, and they filled both ships with the fishes. So much so that both ships began to sink! In that moment, the fisherman had been made rich! Look at the kindness of God!

 

When Simon Peter saw it, he and all of the partners were sorely amazed. He fell down at the knees of Jesus, and in his humility, told Jesus to depart from him because he was a sinful man. In other words, Peter was saying to Jesus, given his sinful state, he was not worthy of the kindness that had been bestowed upon him by Jesus.  Jesus told the men to fear not, and that thereafter, they would catch men (become fishers of the souls of men). And when they had docked their ships, they left all and followed Jesus.

 

What an awesome and supernatural catch of fish this must have been in order for professional fisherman to be astonished, and to immediately decide to leave their fishing business and follow Jesus. In essence, in telling Simon Peter, James, and John that they would become fishers of men, Jesus was saying that fishing for men—winning men to the Lord—would be exceedingly more rewarding, both spiritually and financially, than working in the commercial fishing industry!

 

Verily, verily I say to you my Christian friends, whenever the gospel of Jesus Christ is preached, believed on and received by others, money and favor comes to God’s messengers. Jesus Christ guaranteed it! See John 4:35-36, it reads:

 

Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? Behold, I say unto you Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest. And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.

Several other Scriptures also witness the guarantee of wages to anyone who works in the Lord’s vineyard. Jesus Christ is recorded at Luke 10:7 as providing the following instructions to the 70 other disciples that He commissioned to go and preach the gospel of the kingdom of God:

 

And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house.  

At 1 Timothy 5:18, the Apostle Paul wrote to his protégé Timothy:

 

For the scripture saith, thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. The labourer is worthy of his reward.

 

There is no greater show of kindness that we can offer to a human being, than to offer them salvation through Jesus Christ. All of heaven rejoices when one person receives salvation. (Luke 15:7) Oh, how precious is the soul of one man!

 

Don’t you see, we have been seated together in heavenly places in God in Christ Jesus to win the lost to Christ and build-up the kingdom of God. God wants all people to be reconciled unto Him to show everyone the exceeding richness of His kindness toward them forever. God desires the earth, and its inhabitants, to reflect that which has been already done in heaven.  That is, for everyone who would believe in Jesus Christ to be “One” in God—in love, unity, prosperity, and healthy.

 

As born-again Christians, we are the offspring of God. Our hearts have been made chock-full of the kindness of God, towards God, and all people—including our enemies. (I John 4:19, Gal. 5: 22-23 & Eph. 4:32) Like our God, there is no one that we want to see perish and go to hell, but that all people would repent of their sins and come to God through Jesus Christ. (II Pet. 3:9)

 

We don’t win the lost to Christ for the sake of being rewarded with money. No, no, no we win the lost to Christ, as well as everything we do with the Lord—as an expression of our loving kindness toward Him. We love others as Christ loved us and gave himself for us! (I John 4:19) We are not motivated by money, we are motivated by love! Love can’t wait—it can’t be held back—from showing kindness to everyone!

 

Listen to me well. The devil hates the kindness of God in you—that seeks to do good with Jesus Christ, toward all people in the world. He absolutely abhors that your heart’s desire is to see people set free from the bondage of sin. So the devil desires to steal the testimony of the Lord Jesus Christ from your mouth, whenever you have the opportunity to win the lost to Christ.

 

Born-again Christians have been commanded to go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. (Mark 16:15)  Right now, Jesus is commanding us to go and win the lost to Christ. But as you have heard me preach many times, 95 percent of Christians in their entire Christian experience have never won a single person to the Lord. Moreover, the majority of Christians have never even attempted to witness Christ to anyone, or even invited anyone to a Church service. It’s not because the average Christian doesn’t believe in Jesus Christ, but because the devil steals the Lord’s testimony from them.

 

How does the devil steal the testimony of Christ? Satin does it with the same fear-based question, that he tempted Adam and Eve with in the Garden of Eden. That question being: “has God said?” (Gen. 3:1) To the command of Christ that we go and preach the gospel to the lost, the devil asks the question to Christians—has God said? Tempting Christians with the underlying questions: Do I really have to preach the gospel to the lost? What will happen to me if I don’t preach the gospel to the lost? What will God do about it if I don’t obey Him?

 

Many of you listening to me, or reading this sermon right now can hear the Voice of the Holy Ghost shining a light on your own inaction to witness Christ to others. You can hear the Holy Ghost telling you to go and witness Jesus to others—and immediately afterwards—the next thought that enters your head is an excuse why you have something else more important to do.

 

This is the enemy, the devil stealing the testimony of Christ out of your mouth, and picking your financial pockets dry of money and material substance and wealth at the same time!

 

Jesus Christ encountered this many times in ministry as He called and commanded people to come and follow after Him. (See Luke 9:57-62).  Examine the excuses given by people Jesus beckoned to follow after Him. Notice how every one of the excuse makers called Jesus Christ “Lord,” and yet when called to follow Him, had a ready-made thought to go do something else first. They called Him Lord, but failed to demonstrate any kindness towards the Lord.

 

Understand that Jesus Christ is the Master Shepherd—the Lord—who never allows anyone who follows after Him to lack any good thing, but makes you lie down in green pastures (beautiful homes)! (Ps. 23:12) Jesus once reminded the twelve disciples, of the time when He sent them forth to go preach the gospel of the kingdom of God without purse and scrip and shoes—and asked if they had lacked anything? And they all said together, “Nothing.” (Luke 22:35)

 

Most Christians, however, have placed their hands on the plow, they call Jesus, “Lord and Master,” but are forever looking back at other things, and deeming them more important in life to do than winning the lost to Christ. Something is always more important than telling others about Jesus.

 

Remember the story of the rich young ruler? (Mark 10:17-30) He was a lad who on the surface seemingly had an ardent zeal to follow after Jesus Christ. Calling Jesus Christ, “good Master” and asking how he could earn eternal life. After a conversation with the young ruler about his compliance with the Law of Moses, which he claimed to have kept faithfully from his youth, Jesus lovingly replied to him there was one thing that he lacked. He commanded him to go and sell all that he had to the poor, and promised he would have treasure in heaven, and then come and take up his cross and follow Him.

 

The young ruler was sad at Jesus’s response and “went away grieved for he had great possessions.” Jesus explained to the crowd how difficult it is for those who have riches to enter into the kingdom of God—of those who love and place their trust in money. The disciples were greatly amazing and asked who then can be saved? They had been made prosperous and had forsaken all to follow after Jesus. Peter even added saying to Jesus, “behold they had left all to follow after Him.” But look at what Jesus Christ said in response to Peter at Mark 10:29-30. Jesus said,

 

…Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's, But he shall receive an hundred-fold now in this time, houses, and bretheren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life.

In closing, we need to ask born-again Christians, whether they believe these words of our Lord, the Master, and Great Shepherd Jesus Christ? We have been commanded to go and preach the gospel to the lost in this world, and to reap wages and material wealth and substance for our faithful labor in the vineyard. Do you believe this?

 

Yet, as many times as this is preached into the ears of born-again Christians, they remain dull of hearing and in callous rebellion of the commandment of the Lord. Even within Exousia Ministries Inc., down through the years, everyone has been encouraged and invited to join me in Outreach Ministry, and very few have done so.

 

Moreover, every week, we send out invitations for online Sunday Worship service on Zoom, and you are encouraged to invite family, friends, and all you meet along the way to worship with us. Seemingly, the request goes ignored. My Christian brothers and sisters, I am not trying to hurt your feelings. Rather, I am trying to show you how the enemy is working to steal your testimony of Christ, as well as all Christians around the world. And, in the process, from Christians he steals money out of their pockets, and stymies the flow of generational wealth building to our families—the promise of God under the covenant of Abraham. The enemy knows that it is far more blessed to give than to receive .(Acts 20:35) What better way can you think of to keep this promise of the kingdom of God from coming to pass in the lives of Christians, than to make sure they have no money to give?

 

I leave you with this thought. Do you remember about a year or so ago, the amazing video presentation I played for you on the story of Josh? The young man who died, and gave strong testimony of his experiences of first traveling to hell and what he endured, and then to heaven, and all that he saw?  Remember, how after he was brought back to life, he told of his rededication to Christ to preach the gospel and goal to win souls, particularly young people to the kingdom?

 

After I played the video, do you remember I asked all of our members and partners for their comments on the video? To a person, everyone said how they were moved and inspired by Josh’s story, and reminded to do more to win people to Christ.

 

But, contemplate for a moment, since that video, what have you done to win the lost to Christ? What has been your kindness towards God—consideration for His Agenda—that no person on earth would perish, but come and receive salvation through the name of Jesus Christ?

 

God has placed His love and kindness in your born-again heart.  Let us therefore, be sober and vigilant, and stop the devil in his tracks when he comes with excuses for quieting our witness of Christ to others. Let us instead, continually cooperate with the Spirit of God within us, to  share the hope of the gospel of Christ with the lost, invite them to Church—the House of Prayer—so that we all may be seated together in heavenly places in Christ to receive the exceeding riches of God’s kindness towards us.

 

We have found the thief that has robbed our pockets blind of money, and generational material wealth and substance. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, it is time to bind and cast the devil out of our thoughts and pathway to the lost. We rather obey God, then the alibies of men. While it is still day, I encourage you to go forth and preach the gospel, and watch money and favor come your way. Amen for the preaching of the Word of the Living God into your hearing.
