The Reconciliation: Why you must not be indifferent.



One thing remains the goal of the Father who dwells in light inaccessible to human eyes: He wants the heart of all men be turned to Him. Right from Eden where the fall of man happened, He legislated a means of reconciling with men. This became evident when the word became flesh as recorded in the account of John. God became flesh and He was full of Grace and truth. I don't intend to tell the story of how He came or lived on earth. My burden is to drive it into you as God gives grace why you must cooperate with God in the Reconciliation business. God already played the part He needed to play alone. Now, all that He will do concerning unsaved men is hinged on you.
The truth is that God has made a way already but not everyone knows. Many are out there playing game thinking they are in a race to the heavenly Zion. Many were born into falsehood. In essence, I am paraphrasing 2 Cor 4:4. Their eyes have not yet been opened to see what has been made available.
This is why you must arise and preach the message. They can not hear unless you preach. You don't have to bother about whether they will accept you or not, that way you are being anxious. Trust God to work something mighty through your message, even if it's Jesus loves you is all you can say. Don't forget I said it earlier that God and you are in a business together. You are not alone. He will work through your message. Unless you play your part, you won't see Him take any action. (Matthew 28:19, Acts 1:8). If this is not true, why would Jesus command them to go into the world. This underscore the truth that you must be a participant in the restoration job. Do not look far away from you looking for your world, start from your Jerusalem (your sphere of influence), from there encroach your Samaria, then the uttermost part of the earth. Someone got you saved. If you had not been saved, what would your life had been like? This alone should give you motivation to reach out to unbelievers.
Let me end by saying that however mighty God may be, He is limited by your actions and inactions concerning this matter of the Gospel. Remember your labour is not in vain: How pleasant are the feet of those who bring good tidings and publish peace (Nahum 1:15).
Romans 1:16-17: Don't be afraid to make the power known, the Gospel is power

UNDERSTANDING WHY NATURAL MEN BEHAVE THE WAY THEY DO AND HOW TO HELP THEM There was a season in my life that I was a toddler and same is true with you. At that time, we made a lot of requests from our parents and also behaved in diverse ways. I believe those requests or idiosyncrasies could probably have bred punishment If they are repeated now that we are of age. We may overlook that and think that there is generally nothing to learn from that stage of life. But I tell you, there are lots to learn. Have you ever reconsidered that period and provide the reason why you escaped punishment for most of those silly nonsense? (don’t mind my usage of word please). Yes, tell me, have you ever? Well, if you have taken that exercise of reconsidering that era before, I am sure you will have a list of reasons which perhaps gave you the amnesty you seem to enjoy then. But I am persuaded that inherent in those reasons is the truth that your parents understood that your idionsyncrasies was due...

Luke 19:30-31 [30]Saying, Go ye into the village over against you; in the which at your entering ye  shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man sat: loose him, and bring him hither. [31]And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto him, Because the Lord hath need of him. A donkey is a beast of burden that is presumably stronger than a horse and considered more social than a horse. The colt that Christ rode on as seen in the scriptures above was actually a donkey (a young one). It was about time for Christ to fulfill another scripture written about Him (Matthew 21:4). That made Him send a few of His disciples to go get the ready made colt tied in the midst of the village just before them. This story is wonderful not just in the fact that it underlines another moment of fulfillment of Prophecy, but also in the fact that it teaches one major requirement that those who have identified themselves with Christ must have in order to be a vessel of honour i...

UNSTOPPABLE

 While I was ruminating over all that has happened to the world, its system and operations recently, I came to a sharp conclusion that only God is unstoppable and unchangeable! Before I proceed, let me clarify it that "World" as used in the above paragraph is used to mean the nations of the world, institutions in them, and such things that have to do with them. For example, the health system of the world, the education, the business etc. Yes, God is unstoppable. I don't have to do exegesis to make you know that. So, I will only draw your attention to one event in the Bible. This event in the bedrock upon which the Christian Faith stands.  The event started with the birth of a child. The child has one major purpose: Reconciling the world unto God. By now you should know the event I am referring to and the child. But if you have not, journey with me, you will be able to figure it out yourself. According to the will of God, it was predestined that this Child should taste dea...
