We are living in a dangerous time. The world is facing a period not seen in recent history. We have many nations at war simultaneously. Young people full of promise are dying all over the globe. It is not my wish to frighten you this morning, but I want you to feel a sense of urgency in aligning your life with God 's purpose. You no longer have time to play around. It is time to get serious. Our mission as God chosen people, is to be holy, forgiving, compassionate, humble and patient in dealing with others. Some Christians do not even say good morning anymore and when greeted, they walking around repeating "bless and highly favored" as though it was a joke. It just does not sound real to me. I think they are doing so to be deceitful. To make others believe that they are sanctify. We don't have to walk around quoting Bible verses and repeating how blessed we really are. We must be too busy to play those games. It must be about the Father's business. We need to start ministering to our family, friends, co-workers and neighbors with our way of life. We shouldn't have to tell anyone that we are believers. They should be able to tell by our actions. Our lives should be the testimonies, and our lives should be the reasons people want to come to Christ. Amen!


Christians ought to live victorious lives. You and I have to stop living a life of defeat. In order to accomplish that you and I have to turn our back from recurring sins by asking the Holy Spirit for help. Let us get to the next level. We are saved for a purpose. We are blessed to be a blessing. Friend, Don't sit on your inheritance. Let us get serious with kingdom work. no time to sit around and play games. You and I have the obligation to let people know that in this world of uncertainty, Jesus is the sure thing. Jesus is the hope of this world. He is the only answer. Let people know that suffering is temporary. Jesus has paid the price for their salvation. The work is done. It is not about us. It is about kingdom work.

Today you need to ask God to help you prepare for you ministry life. You need to ask Him for strength to go into your world and proclaim His goodness, mercy and grace to this suffering and dying world. You have a job to do as a believer. You have to carry Jesus light into the darkness of this life. It has never been more urgent. It is time to get serious and embrace your destiny as a beloved child of God. It's time to start giving a little since you have already received ( a lot) eternal life. Don't be self-fish, share with your neighbors and friends the good news of the Gospel of Jesus Christ by your actions (not empty words) and be blessed!

Praise the Lord!
