Spiritual death - How to get saved

Mohan was manuring the flowerpots at home and realized that one of the rose plants was dried up…. He carefully plucked all the dead leaves and watered it continuously for two days – Saturday and Sunday.  Monday morning, today ,while he was coming to office he just checked the rose plant once. It was obvious that the plant regained its strength from the week-end watering and new leaves have blossomed. And the person was pretty sure that roses will come up soon.

During meditation also found that at times in our own lives, we lose the manure of spirituality in our lives.  But God in all his grace and love nurtures us with his manure – God’s word and HIS voice and the more strength we receive from him, the more our life blossoms and in return gives yield to beautiful / colorful flowers .

Lord, we are dying spiritually in our busy daily lives. Please help us understand that YOU are the strength giver and the way you love us is always UNCONDITIONAL.

Whole world to obey

Eventually He's going to force the whole world to obey, whether they like it or not!

Christ's coming is literally going to be an invasion from Outer Space!--And when He finally takes over, He's going to take over by force, "with power and great glory!" (Mat.24:30) Out of Heaven will come the great hosts of Heaven with Jesus in the lead on a white horse to destroy the Antichrist and his kingdom in the great Battle of Armageddon! (Rev.19)--And we will take over the World, by God's power, and make this World live the way it should have lived! (Rev.20:4)

His Word says, "We shall then rule and reign with Him over the nations with a rod of iron!" (Rev.2:26,27) It will be a mandatory rule of loving force to compel the nations to submit to the laws of God and to recognise His authority. It's going to be an enforced rule, a strong, iron dictatorship over the unsaved, otherwise they would never obey.

Everyone will be compelled and forced to obey whether they like it or not!--A completely total totalitarian dictatorship of the righteous with Jesus Christ as dictator! Only then shall all wicked and vengeful men of war be stopped at last.--And only then shall the men of peace and the God of peace and the Prince of Peace rule and reign and bring "peace on Earth"! (Lk.2:14)

Duty of every Christian

What's the duty of every Christian?--To witness, to be a testimony, to preach the Gospel of Jesus' love!

If the whole purpose of our existence is just to get saved, then why doesn't the Lord just take us home to Heaven the minute we get saved?--because once we're saved, we have a job to do! We have a responsibility! There are a lot of other people who need to know Jesus, and He has given us a commission: "And He said unto them, Go ye into all the World, and preach the Gospel to every creature!" (Mk.16:15)

Jesus alone saves, but He doesn't want to save you alone. He wants to save the whole World, but in order to do that He needs us to tell others about His Love, to give His Love and message of Salvation, the Gospel, the Good News, to the whole World. (See Rom.10:13-15.)

Jesus said, "Even as My Father hath sent Me, so send I you." (Jn.20:21) He says this still to His followers of today, calling them to give their lives daily in loving concern and care for others, to share His heart and Love with those who are seeking for "the Way, the Truth, and the Life." (Jn.14:6)

Will you answer His call? Will you love and do what you can to win souls? Will you spread the Word, spread the Message, spread His Love?--God will bless you as you obey His Call!
