WHAT YOU DO FOR JESUS CHRIST IS NOT IN VAIN!

"A great deal of the labour of faithful ministers is labour in vain; and, when it is so, it cannot but be a great grief to those who desire the salvation of souls." "The labour of ministers is in vain upon those who begin in the Spirit and end in the flesh, who, though they seem to set out well, yet afterwards turn aside from the way of the gospel." "It is the devil's design to hinder the good fruit and effect of the preaching of the gospel. If he cannot hinder ministers from labouring in the wo… Continue

GOD'S LAMENTATIONS / MAN'S LOST OPPORTUNITIES

"To look back on the past, and see what we have missed, is a good lesson for the future." - Pulpit Commentary - Old Testament "What might have been!" These have to be the saddest words ever spoken. What might have been in your life - if only you would have...? In the Scriptures, we find the Lord God Almighty lamenting over the loss that His people suffered. Their misfortune did not happen because He withheld from them His blessings. It happened because they would not listen nor obey. Read t… Continue

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A LAZY CHRISTIAN

"Faithful ministers of the word are laborious ones..." - John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible "I laboured more abundantly than they all...This is a sober fact as shown by the Acts and Paul's Epistles.

Take Paul as a specimen." - Robertson's Word Pictures "We must give account how we have spent our time, how we have improved our opportunities, what we have done and how we have done it." - Matthew Henry Romans 12:11 says -… Continue

THIS IS WHAT'S HOLDING BACK THE RAIN

The consideration of God's universal dominion, and the universal acknowledgment of it, should restrain us from all irreverence in His service. It is a righteous thing with God to withhold the blessings of grace from those that do not attend the means of grace, to deny the green pastures to those that attend not the shepherd's tents. Many are crossed, and go backward, in their affairs, and this is at the bottom of it - they do not keep close to the worship of God as they should; they go off fro… Continue

HALF-DEAD OR HALF-ASLEEP WORSHIP

"Spiritual joy is the heart and soul of thankful praise." - both quotes are from Matthew Henry What is this half-dead or half-asleep worship that we hear eman… Continue

HOW IS GOD'S GARDEN LOOKING THESE DAYS?

1 Corinthians 3:9 specifically says - "...Ye are God's husbandry." In other words, you are His garden, field, or vineyard. You are His cultivated land, fertile tillage, sown field, or farm. In the days of the Prophets - Jeremiah and Hosea - the word of the Lord came to the prophets respectively calling the people of Israel and Judah to cultivate the land of their hearts - which for so long had lain untilled due to idolatry and sin. What type of word do you suppose the Lord would have for the C… Continue

Who Is With Me?-A Word From The Lord...

A message to all members of Coming Out Of The Wilderness... There are still too many men. Take them down to the water, and I will sift them for you there. If I say, 'This one shall go with you,' he shall go; but if I say, 'This one shall not go with you,' he shall not go." 5.So Gideon took the men down to the water. There the LORD told him, "Separate those who lap the water with their tongues like a dog from those who kneel down to drink." 6.Three hundred men lapped with their hands to their mo… Continue

DOUBLE EXTREMITY

"A present God is a present blessing." - Adam Clarke "A lively sense of the divine presence is a mighty stay to the heart in times of distress." - Charles Spurgeon "We always need the Divine help, but more especially when troubles and trials are at hand." - Adam Clarke "The nearness of trouble is a weighty motive for divine help; this moves our heavenly Father's heart, and brings down His helping hand." - Charles Spurgeon "It is God's honour to help when all other helps and succours fail." - M… Continue

SERVANTS UNDER THE YOKE

"I am wholly the Lord's; and wholly devoted in the spirit of sacrificial obedience, to the constant, complete, and energetic performance of the Divine will." - Adam Clarke "Seeking our own interest to the neglect of Jesus Christ is a very great sin, and very common among Christians and ministers. Many prefer their own credit, ease, and safety, before truth, holiness, and duty, the things of their own pleasure and reputation before the things of Christ's kingdom and His honour and interest in th… Continue

THE SIN OF ENVY

"For wolves to devour sheep is no wonder, but for sheep to devour one another is monstrous and astonishing." - Encyclopedia of Sermon Illustrations James 3:14 declares - "But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth." Matthew Henry once made this statement - "If we love our neighbor we shall be so far from envying his welfare, or being displeased with it, that we shall share in it and rejoice at it."

Imitate God's Goodness

For You make him to be blessed and a blessing forever. Psalm 21:6 God made a covenant with Abraham, that He would bless him, and cause him to be a blessing to others (see Genesis 12:2). You too are an heir to the true riches of God (see James 1:9). As you mature spiritually and are able to handle your inheritance, God wants you to have an abundance to bless others in His name. Before you get involved with your daily routine today, seek God and feed your soul with His truth for yo… Continue

The Vision

Almost every biblical figure who served God has a vision. Moses not only received instructions (the Law), but a vision. It was during his encounter [at the burning bush] that he was given a clear vision and instructions as to how to fulfil that vision. That call, to cooperate with God "to deliver the Israelites from the power of the Egyptians, and to bring them up from that land to a good and spacious land," filled his heart and mind for another forty years. In times of darkness, depression, squ… Continue

Win the Race

But [like a boxer] I buffet my body [handle roughly, discipline it by hardships] and subdue it, for fear that after proclaiming to others the Gospel and things pertaining to it, I myself should become unfit [not stand the test, be unapproved and rejected as a counterfeit]. I Corinthians 9:27 It is easy to leave unpleasant tasks for later. But God wants His people to finish the race that He sets before them to run (see 2 Timothy 4:7). Don't be afraid to do what seems to be hard. G… Continue
