MY FRIENDS, LET HIM WHO IS WITHOUT SIN AMONG YOU BE THE FIRST TO THROW A STONE!!

Moses, Paul and David were murderers. Thomas was a doubter, Peter denied Christ three times, Abraham and Jacob were liar’s, Judah was a Whoremonger, John was self-righteous, Mary Magdalene had been released from the power of seven demons, Noah was a drunk and committed incest with His Daughters.

My friends, what a list, along with their abominable transgressions beyond what we ourselves, in most cases would ever imagine doing. But these individuals are some of the bible’s A team, the very elect who we will see in God’s kingdom, if we have the faith and endurance to be “steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, as each of these bible characters did, in spite of.

In addition, we also must look deep within and understand we “have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God,” Rom. 3:23 (NSAB) But we also have a Savior. For Christ “Himself bore our sins in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; and by his wounds [we] have been healed.” 1 Peter 2:24 (NIV)

My friends, “Like a grapevine branch, we are not always producing fruit in our life. That would be unnatural. For a significant portion of a grapevine’s life is nothing but a dry, twisted stick, fruitless with no benefit to anyone. It is even useless for shade, worthless as timber, to all appearances it is only fit to be ripped from the ground, thrown in a heap and burned.”

“Yet those barren times are as vital in the life of the vine, as the season itself”. “If spring could tip-toe passed nature without stirring it from its winter slumber; if the sun could slip through the sky without dispelling the night; if rain could fall to the ground without bringing life to the desert, only then should you fear dry times, dark times, lean times.

Though you feel as useless as a fur coat in a heat-wave, the time will come when your warmth is treasured. For everything there is a season.”(Grantley Morris) Paul tell’s us in Ephesians 2:4-5 (KJV) “But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ by grace you have been saved.”

My friends, it is now our season, our warmth is now, at this moment treasured to finish God’s mandate here on earth as we spread the good news of the gospel. There are many reasons why God allowed us to travel this road we have been on, but now we are on the final stretch, as we enter the threshold of the promise land and Christ is now looking for faithful vessels to serve him until his soon appearing.

So today He pleads, “behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him,……” Rev 3:20 (KJV) Remember the forces of evil looks over our life and accuses each of God’s chosen of all of our mistakes and tells us we could never produce any fruit. But my Savior starts at Calvary, and places us on our journey through life.

In addition, we all have different situation and circumstances, trials and tribulation, unique only to us, but thank God through His grace if we hold on and endure we will all end up at the same location and that is, at His soon appearing when He will say to His Children, “Well done good and faithful servants! Come and share your master’s happiness! In a place “no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him” and have kept His commandments.

So friends stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY
