LET US PUT MORE EFFORTS TOWARDS OUR SALVATIONAL RACE.
CHRIST DEARLY BELOVED:
IF WE ARE TO CALCULATE THE AMOUNT OF MONEY SPENT, AND THE AMOUNT TIME DEVOTED, ALL TO OUR MORTAL BODY AND ALSO CALCULATE HOW MUCH MONEY AND TIME SPENT SO FAR TO ALIGNED OUR INDIVIDUAL SOUL TO THE PATH OF ETERNAL SALVATION IN CHRIST JESUS: INCLUDING THE TIME SPENT IN WORSHIP AND READING THE WORD OF GOD.
COMPARE AND CONTRAST: OUR FINDINGS WILL BE JAW-DROPPING.
SO MUCH MONEY AND TIME HAVE BEEN SPENT ON OUR MORTAL BODY.
FROM JEWELRY, COSMETICS, AND TO SOME, COSMETIC SURGERY, ALL FOR THE MORTAL BODY TO BE IN CONFORMITY WITH THE FASHION SOCIETY.
AND OUR SOUL WHICH IS IMMORTAL, THAT DESERVES MORE OF OUR ATTENTION IN TERMS OF MONEY AND TIME IS LEFT UNCARED FOR.
WE BARELY MADE IT TO THE CHURCH ON TIME
WE COMPLAIN ABOUT TITHES AND OTHER OFFERINGS
WHILE IN THE CHURCH, WE BARELY TAKE OUR HANS OFF THE CELL-PHONES AND THE IPAD.
2 CORINTHIANS, 5:-1-2 “FOR WE KNOW THAT IF OUR EARTHLY HOUSE, THIS TENT, IS DESTROYED, WE HAVE A BUILDING FROM GOD, A HOUSE NOT MADE WITH HANDS, ETERNAL IN THE HEAVENS. FOR IN THIS WE GROAN, EARNESTLY DESIRING TO BE CLOTHED WITH OUR HABITATION WHICH IS FROM HEAVEN.”
FOR US TO BE COUNTED AMONG THE SAINTS OF GOD IN HEAVEN AFTER OUR SOJOURN, WE HAVE TO PUT IN MORE EFFORTS TOWARDS OUR SALVATIONAL RACE.
OUT OF THE HUNDRED AND SIXTY-EIGHT HOURS OF ONE WEEK, HARDLY WE SPEND SIXTEEN HOURS OF IT WHICH HAPPENS TO BE TEN PERCENT OF THE TOTAL HOUR IN THE HOUSE OF GOD.
IN CONCLUSION: WE ALL HAVE THE REQUIRED TIME TO SPEND IN MOVIE THEATER AND BASKETBALL OR FOOTBALL GAMES. BUT WHEN IT COMES TO GOD, WE BARELY HAVE THE TIME.
IT IS NOT TOO LATE TO MAKE ADJUSTMENT WHERE NECESSARY.
PLEASE JOIN US IN PRAYER FOR OUR PERSECUTED BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN CHRIST AROUND THE WORLD; IN ADDITION TO OUR ONGOING PRAYER FOR THE UNITY OF CHRIST FOLLOWERS REGARDLESS OF DENOMINATION. PRAYER FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM AND VICTORY FOR THE STATE OF ISRAEL-ALONGSIDE PRAYER FOR THOSE WHO ARE IMPACTED BY THE CORONA CONTAGION AND ITS NUMEROUS RAMIFICATIONS.
