No One Left Behind ”I am going all the way!”

It is not enough to begin well but rather ,to end well!

Romans 13:11-14;Revelation 20:10

Dear Friend,
It is very important that we go all the way with the Lord and finish strong. Our Lord Jesus has made it clear that only those who endure to the end will receive the “well done thou good and faithful servant.” welcome. Again Jesus said ,’anyone who holds the plough and looks back is not fit for my kingdom’. In Hebrew 10:38,it is quite obvious that God finds no pleasure in those who draw back. Thus it is not enough to begin well but to finish well.

The time we live in is Characterized by deception. The devil, the author of deception has launched an all out attack on ignorant believers .Therefore be careful you do not fall prey to his dirty tricks. He creates division among the brethren by using his naïve ‘instruments ‘to peddle false accusations and also, always attempts to present thoughts that cause us to live or think cross ways with God. According to Revelations 20:10 the devil, the one who deceives and torments has been held bound and thrown into the lake of fire and brimstone where he is tormented for ever. Christ Jesus made a public show of his defeat and gave back to us power and authority over the devil in His name.

The following are some points to consider when you decide to go all the way with the Lord and finish strong .You have to first be aware of the times we live in so that you do take any thing for granted. In other words ,ensure that you walk in constant agreement with what God says so you do not fall prey to the deception and lies of the devil.
Awake out of your sleep. Be alert and fervent in the things of God. When you find out that you are not paying much attention to your walk with the Lord. Or perhaps you do not feel as enthusiastic as you used to be about church attendance and all, be sure to deal with it immediately. Release yourself from any form of spiritual sluggishness, knowing that the enemy has found an entry into your life.
You must also realize that pay day is coming. Judgment is pay day and when we use the word of God to judge our lives we will not suffer judgment. let the word of God be your guide and allow it to be the highest authority in your life.
Fourthly ,as a result of the fact that judgment is pending ,we have to do well to get things right by lining our lives exactly with what God says. We escape the bad side of judgment if we put on Jesus. He endured the suffering of the cross because He knew that the lives and destinies of billions of men and women were connected to His obedience. This is your turn to also remain faithful by enduring to the end so that destinies connected to you will not fail. Make no room for the provision of the flesh.

No One Left Behind - Transgenerational Salvation

2 Peter 3 : 9 ;Acts 4:12; Acts 16:31; Acts 2:38; Deuteronomy 6:4-9; 6:20-24;Isaiah 8:18;isaiah 54:13; Colossians 2:9

Dear Friend,
No one left behind includes your children, grand children, nieces, nephews, and every single one of the next generation. Sometimes it is very tempting to think that our children are too young to grasp the truth. Even if we tried to reach them we limit our selves to sharing plain bible stories with no intention of bringing them to a place of understanding. God expects us to do more than that .He wants us to establish a strong foundation in their heart so that no circumstances will be able to move them from their place in Him. If we begin to look at them from the fact that they are also spirits just as we are, then we realize that, they are able to receive it. The bible confirms this fact by informing us that even the gift of the baptism of the Holy Spirit is not only reserved for adults only but children as well. Whoever believes!

As we have already mentioned, like their adults counterparts ,children will not be faithful followers of Christ if they only have mere intellectual knowledge of God. Since they are spirits it will take spiritual understanding of God to be truly converted. They must be taught systematically and consistently in a way that targets their spirit so they will know God and do exploits wherever they may be. Once they are grounded in their spirit, their lives will evidence Christ. The Lord desires every believer to be for signs and wonders. Our children must be able to believe God for themselves so they can enjoy supernatural results. Daniel and his friends were seen to be ten times better than their peers physically, intellectually, and socially because they had taken time to be grounded in God’s truth. As a result of the fact that they were grounded spiritually they remained faithful to God despite very horrifying and challenging circumstances.

How do we do this. First and foremost we must accept the fact that anything or situation that is less than the expectation from the word is unacceptable. It is the responsibility of every one to sacrifice for their children or next generation, no matter the price we have to pay. Every believer must make transfers to the next generation. We must clearly communicate who Jesus is ,what He has done through redemption and what He requires of us as believers. There should be absolute loyalty .God gives us an effective prescription that will facilitate these processes in Deuteronomy chapter 6.Which protects them from the Media influences in their generation. Every aspect of our interaction with the next generation should point them to God. I believe if we do it God’s way and not what is convenient to us, our children will enjoy great peace with God in their lives. They will not be a concern to us anymore.

God desires every one in your household to be saved. Whether they are children or adults, when they believe on the Lord Jesus Christ they will be saved.

No One Left Behind - The Touch Of A Testimony

Be sure that No One is Left Behind under your watch! Touch others by sharing your testimony today.

2 Peter 3 : 9 ;Acts 4:12; John 4:9-30; Acts 17:23

Dear Friend,
No one left behind is the title of the sermon series for September. In the introductory remarks we learned that God does not want any man to perish. For God loved the world so much that He set a redemption plan in motion for all mankind. Any one that believes in Jesus Christ will not perish but have everlasting life. The belief is evidenced by the doing which is accepting Christ’s sacrifice for our sins and confessing Him as Lord. The bible calls that process born again. This means that you become new in your nature or spirit but your mind ,will, and emotions have to transformed and your body needs to be disciplined ,in order to conform to your new life in Christ. Irrespective of your maturity level , God expects you to share the good news of salvation to everyone. This is what is called the ministry of reconciliation. As a matter of fact, the ability to bring someone into the kingdom of God is in you when you become born again. In fourth chapter of the gospel of John, the woman the well did not hesitate to share what she had received from Jesus. She did not need to complete a bible course on soul winning before she shared the good news. She utilized the daily opportunities in her life to the fullest. All she possessed was a burning zeal of her experience with Christ. People will be attracted and convinced about the efficacy of the faithfulness of God in your life primarily ,by the enthusiasm and conviction you portray about your testimony. If it does not move you it won’t move anybody. See how the bible describes the response of her audience as immediately going to meet Jesus outside the city.

The following are relevant information you may consider when sharing your testimony ,based on lessons from the famous story of the Samaritan woman at the well. No matter how insignificant the testimony of Jesus in your life may seem to be, it still has power to touch someone’s life.

First and foremost it should have an element of urgency, just like the woman left her water pot and hurriedly went to the city to tell people about Jesus. Secondly Jesus should be the emphasis of our testimonies. What ever we share must tell what Jesus has done for us personally.

The Samaritan woman did not travel very far to share her testimony about Jesus ,she shared it with people close to the well. Those we know are prime targets of our testimony. It is important to note that whatever we share with our neighbors ,friends and family , must be relevant to their lives in such a way that it inspires them to run to Jesus for the answer to the void in their lives. Irrespective of the fact that they may be poor ,rich ,educated ,loved or unloved there is always a void in the life of a person without Jesus. God uses the void in people’s lives to draw them to Him.

There is no excuse, each one of us has a command from Jesus to go into all the world and share the good news of salvation. He has provided what we need to fulfill this task effectively. The Holy Spirit gives us the power to be witnesses everywhere we are that Jesus is Lord and that He is the answer for the world today!

One you should not do is to feel intimidated about sharing the good news with someone, the more you feel like you do not want to share is even the reason for you to do so. You may be the last person they will encounter before they die. What if you are that person today ? Will you deny your neighbor the opportunity to spend eternity with God? Think about that ,`for it is appointed onto a man once to die and after that judgment.” What people need is Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord and you have God’s permission to interrupt their lives if need be ,to give them that opportunity. Be sure that NO One Is Left Behind under your watch!
