THINK ABOUT IT

1. THINK ABOUT IT, phones, computers and sundry communication gadgets overload our thoughts with inanities of the age. We are daily losing ability to separate what is NEEDFUL from NEEDLESS, “And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: But ONE THING IS NEEDFUL: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her” [Luke 10:41-42] Thinking about your mortgage, health, marriage, children and many more are lawful pursuits, profitable to your loved ones and you, as long as you are in this body. If these are all you THINK ABOUT, you are missing out on the ONE THING that is NEEDFUL, ETERNAL LIFE. Whatever we do or fail to do in this world, one day we shall die and come face to face with JUDGMENT, “And as it is appointed unto men ONCE TO DIE, but after this the JUDGMENT” [Hebrews 9:27] You may have heard some men argue there is no JUDGMENT, I want you to hear God’s side of the story. For starters, God has no interest in your DEATH or JUDGMENT, His desire for you is to have ETERNAL LIFE, reigning with Him forever, “And this is THE PROMISE that he hath PROMISED US, even ETERNAL LIFE. These things have I written unto you concerning THEM THAT SEDUCE YOU” [1 John 2:25-26]

2. THINK ABOUT IT, God PROMISED ETERNAL LIFE, those who say there is neither God nor JUDGMENT have nothing to offer. God followed up His PROMISE; He sent His SON, Jesus Christ, to fulfil His PROMISE, “And we know that the SON OF GOD is come, and hath GIVEN US AN UNDERSTANDING, that we may KNOW HIM THAT IS TRUE, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son JESUS CHRIST. This is the TRUE GOD, and ETERNAL LIFE” [1 John 5:20] If you are hearing or reading this first time, take note, everything pertaining Jesus Christ require UNDERSTANDING. Jesus Christ is the SON OF GOD and not as some think INFERIOR or CO-EQUAL with God; He is the “TRUE GOD, and ETERNAL LIFE”. This is the GOOD NEWS, God is revealed in Jesus Christ to RECONCILE us to Himself and in doing so fulfil the PROMISE of ETERNAL LIFE, “To wit, that GOD WAS IN CHRIST, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation” [2 Corinthians 5:19] This is the summary of the of GOSPEL of Jesus Christ preached in all languages and which unfortunately is adulterated by some for selfish gain, “Beware lest any man spoil you through PHILOSOPHY and VAIN DECEIT, after the TRADITION of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. For IN HIM DWELLETH all the FULNESS of the GODHEAD bodily” [Colossians 2:8-9]

3. THINK ABOUT IT, your rejection of Jesus Christ may be misplaced, you must not allow personal experience with charlatans to dissuade you. Get to know Jesus Christ on your own, read your Bible independent of any man’s opinion, “Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN; but he that DOETH THE WILL OF MY FATHER which is in heaven” [Matthew 7:21] Starting from gospel of MATTHEW, read through MARK, LUKE and JOHN; His CHARACTER and simplicity of His MESSAGE are well laid out. Jesus was not greedy and did not make merchandise of His followers; He fed thousands free of charge and to the man who asked for His address, “… Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head” [Luke 9:58] Jesus Christ was not a politician, His MESSAGE was ETERNAL LIFE for which He offered His life on the Cross; He is the GOOD SHEPHERD, “I am the GOOD SHEPHERD: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. … And I GIVE UNTO THEM ETERNAL LIFE; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand” [John 10:11, 28] Let no man deceive you, Jesus Christ made no PROMISE to make His followers millionaires, we are encouraged to work hard for our living and above all SEEK FIRST the KINGDOM of God, “But SEEK YE FIRST the KINGDOM of God, and his righteousness; and ALL THESE THINGS SHALL BE ADDED unto you” [Matthew 6:33]

4. THINK ABOUT IT, ETERNAL LIFE is the real deal; it is the LIFE of God as manifest in Jesus Christ, “And this is the record, that God hath given to us ETERNAL LIFE, and THIS LIFE IS IN HIS SON. He that HATH THE SON HATH LIFE; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life” [1 John 5:11-12] I tell you, we have a higher calling than angels, though we are presently encased in this lowly body but not for long. As we look forward to His imminent appearance, we are excited in full assurance of HOPE of what we shall be at His appearing when we shall be clothed in the glory of the SON of God, “Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth NOT YET APPEAR WHAT WE SHALL BE: but we know that, when HE SHALL APPEAR, WE SHALL BE LIKE HIM; for we shall see him as he is” [1 John3:2] Friend, the only thing separating us from the PROMISE of God is SIN and Jesus Christ already paid for the SIN of the world on the Cross, yours inclusive. It does not matter how messed up you are, all God requires of you is REPENTANCE, “REPENT ye therefore, and be COVERTED, that YOUR SINS MAY BE BLOTTED OUT, when the times of REFRESHING shall come from the presence of the Lord” [Acts 3:19] Accept the guilt of your SIN, REPENT and receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, amen [+2348074318009]
