YOUR CONTRIBUTION TO THE EXPANSION OF THE GOSPEL…

Hello Elects of Jesus Christ!
Hope all is well with everyone!
Today’s meditation:
*”OUR CONTRIBUTION TO THE EXPANSION OF THE GOSPEL OF JESUS ​​CHRIST!”*
*”And because iniquity shall be increased, the love of many will grow cold. But he who endures to the end shall be saved. And this Good News of the Kingdom will be preached in all the world, as a witness to all the nations. Then the end will come.”* (Matthew 24:12-14).
Many people are concerned with the increase of sin and wickedness in the world. But that is not what interests God. Many people have questioned the love and supremacy or sovereignty of God because it seems to them that things have long been out of God’s Hands. Many times during evangelism, people refute me by saying, “If God is love and Almighty, why can’t He stop all the wickedness on the increase in the world and stop man from sinning?”.
The bad news is that God cannot stop wickedness on earth, nor can He stop man from sinning. But the good news is that He has given man the mission and authority to ban wickedness on earth and to bring man out of sin,
*”I tell you the truth, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven”*. (Matthew 18:18).
*”I tell you the truth, whatever you exclude on earth will be excluded in heaven; whatever you welcome on earth will be welcomed in heaven”*, Matthew 18:18.
The Bible says that after the rapture we will be in the air with Christ for a time, after which He will return with us to establish His Kingdom on earth, then there will be new heavens and a new earth, wickedness will be banished because the devil will have been bound by a mighty angel. But until then, wickedness will only increase on earth, but the redeemed are exempt from it, though we cannot all escape completely. Let’s listen carefully to this:
[Daniel 11:32. He will seduce the traitors of the covenant with flattery. But those of the people who know their God will act with firmness [will be strong and do exploits],
33. and the wisest among them shall instruct the multitude. There are those who will succumb for a time to sword and flame, to captivity and plunder.
34. In the time when they will succumb, they will be helped a little, and many will join them in hypocrisy.
35. Some of the wise men will fall, so that they may be purified, purified and made white, until the time of the end, for it will not come until the appointed time.]
[2 Timothy 3: 12-15 *”Besides, all those who want to lead a life faithful to God in union with Jesus Christ will be persecuted. But wicked men and impostors will always go further into evil, they will deceive others and be deceived themselves. As for you, remain firm in what you have learned and accept with complete conviction. You know from what masters you have learned it. Since your childhood, indeed, you have known the Holy Scriptures; they can give you the wisdom that leads to salvation through faith in Jesus Christ”*].
But now, with all what is happening in the world, God is interested in two essential things, and that is what He is expecting from us: *”THOSE WHO KEEP THE FAITH AND THOSE WHO PROCLAIM THE FAITH”*…*”ENDURING TILL THE END + ANNOUNCING THIS GOOD NEWS OF THE KINGDOM TO ALL THE WORLD”*.
In our passage of meditation, the Lord after announcing that iniquity will grow and quench the love of many; the commitment and the zeal of many who haven’t understood, He went further to ask us to persevere til the end and to bring our contribution so that the gospel is proclaimed to all the nations? Has your village already received the gospel? What is your contribution so far to the proclamation of the gospel in your municipality, community or nation and to the world? Let us know that we are all called to facilitate, contribute and participate in the salvation of lost souls. And only thus can we reduce wickedness on earth and stop man from sinning.
*But whoever holds out to the end will be saved. And this Good News of the Kingdom will be announced throughout the whole world so that the testimony of it may be presented to all peoples. And then will come the end”*, Matthew 24: 13-14.
If you have really stopped sinning, it’s because someone preached the gospel to you and taught you the truth that transformed you by the renewing of your mind. If you have the fear of God and you restrain yourself from all forms of wickedness, it is because you have received the gospel and the light of Christ has penetrated your whole being.
In the same way, by bringing the good to your neighbour, brother, colleague, friend, to a family or any sinner, you are participating in cleaning up the mess of the earth. By supporting the church or a Man of God in your prayers or by your finances, you are bringing your contribution for the proclamation and the expansion of the gospel to the world that all nations may hear and be saved.
If *”this Good News of the Kingdom must be announced in all the world”*, someone has to announce it, someone has to finance it and someone has to intercede. The angels will never do it for us except after the rapture when we are gone from here. God is counting on you and I for the salvation of sinners before his soon return…
*”This is what is good and pleasing to God our Savior, who wants all humans to be saved and to come to know the truth. For there is one God, and one intermediary [Mediator] between God and mankind, the man Jesus Christ who gave himself as a ransom for the liberation of all. He thus brought, at the appointed time, the proof that God wants all human beings to be saved. That is why I have been appointed a messenger and an Apostle, charged with teaching the Gentiles the faith and the truth.
*”I have fought the good fight, I have gone to the end of the race, I have kept the faith. And now the price of victory awaits me: it is the crown of salvation that the Lord , the just Judge, will give me on the Day of Judgment – ​​and not only to me, but to all who are lovingly waiting for the moment when he will appear”*, 2 Timothy 4: 7-8.
Participating in the salvation of the world is securing your crown 👑👑👑. Imagine you finally get to heaven after all the fighting on earth, with all you have endured for Christ, while people receive crowns and stars, you have nothing. Imagine a soldier who spends his entire life in the army and risks his life several times, but while his colleagues are receiving ranks, epaulettes and medals at the end, he has nothing. At the end of his life or career, at the end of the war he has nothing except his army outfit, no reward. Ehmmmmm humiliating, painful and hurting I guess so. This is what may happen to many Christians who will have resisted sins well, renounced wickedness, refused corruption, lost compromising offers and opportunities because of their faith, because of the name of Christ, very zealous in their church but no souls won tied to their names, no missionaries supported by them.
Dearly beloved, the responsibility that falls on us to be Christians in these end times is enormous, but it is a joy to be redeemed of the Lord, it is a Joyful thing to have our sins forgiven and to know that He is with us in all our battles.
So let’s think every day about those who are not yet in the light like us. Let’s remember every day all those who still carry the heavy load of their sins, harassed and tormented by the devil, and the only solution is the gospel. And we have this solution. Yes, there is nothing left but the gospel as a solution for humanity on earth…
*”Then he said to them, ‘Go into all the world and proclaim the good news to all mankind. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved; but whoever does not believe will be condemned’*, Mark 16:15-16.
It is not in our place to criticize or condemn those who have not believed, our task is to announce it. After all, it took time and years for we ourselves to believe. Let’s just announce the Good News…
*”Salvation is through him alone, for nowhere in the whole world has God given to human beings anyone else through whom we might be saved [except Jesus Christ]”*, Acts 4:12.
Despite the increasing wickedness and sin on earth every day, *”this good news of the Kingdom”* must be proclaimed throughout the whole world before the end will come. Let’s get to the work of the gospel. Let these Words of Christ become our motto: *”While it is day, we must do the works of Him who sent me. The night is approaching, when no one can work. While I am in the world , I am the light of the world”*, John 9:4-5.
Be that light to those around you who are in darkness and may they come into the light because of you in the Name of Jesus Christ.
Be blessed! Be strong in the Lord and in the Power of His might till He comes in Jesus Name. Amen!
