Surprise Jesus

Happy New Year! 

It's our year of Advantage. The word Advantage means benefits or profits.  It is a year to stop certain old sinful habits like murmuring, complaining and insulting God for one excuses or another. Instead, it is time to speak about the goodness of the Lord. 

Our Patriarch of old knows this secret. The secret of acknowledging in order to draw God's attention. No wonder, King David was never defeated in any battle! The Book of  Psalm 99:1-5 (NLT 2013 ) says. 

The Lord is king! Let the nations tremble! He sits on his throne between the cherubim. Let the whole earth quake! The Lord sits in majesty in Jerusalem, exalted above all the nations. Let them praise your great and awesome name. Your name is holy!M King, lover of justice, you have established fairness. You have acted with justice and righteousness throughout Israel.  Exalt the Lord our God! Bow low before his feet, for He is holy!

The time is right for us to also speak about the good shepherd who will leave the ninety-nine to go after the one. This can be found in the parable of the Lost Sheep in the Holy Book of Matthew (18:12-14, NLT 2013) 

If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them wanders away, what will he do? Won’t he leave the ninety-nine others on the hills and go out to search for the one that is lost? And if he finds it, I tell you the truth, he will rejoice over it more than over the ninety-nine that didn’t wander away! In the same way, it is not my heavenly Father’s will that even one of these little ones should perish.

Again, It is time to talk about how much you love Jesus. Thanking Him for coming after you in order for you not to perish. Many people are ungrateful. They won't remember all the price that Jesus paid to set them freee from eternal destructions. In fact, many of us too have stopped praying intercedingly  for souls to be saved.

Remember, Jesus made a very important promise that He is coming very soon. He is neither lying nor delaying or late in coming. He is coming back very soon. His words cannot be broken. Uptil now, many wish He comes and end it all while others are asking "How soon is Jesus returning? The book of 2 Peter  3:15 (KJV) says "And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation..."

That means, If Jesus endured and waited  patiently for someone to be born again. Likewise, He is waiting for you and others to be born again. In otherwords, there is still one more losts soul out there that need to be saved. Let us look for them and share the gospel. This will surprise Jesus to see someone like preaching to others about Him.

May you be a touch bearer in the darkest places.
