Doing God's Work 1

Fulfilling The Great Commission. #Matthew 28:16 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them. 28:17 And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted. Brethren, Jesus' deciples doubted HIM even after He had resurrected. What could be the cause of this? These same people had been which Him during the whole period of His ministry. Hadn't their faith grown mightily in Him. Well, this tells us that not everyone who sits in Church everyday believes Jesus neither do they believe in the sermon that is preached. This reminds me of the parable of the sower where the seeds fell in different places. Never expect that all your efforts will bear successful fruits   # A pure heart is of great price to God. How marvelous it is to bed of great price to God?? Well we need to find out what makes one's heart pure..1 Peter 3:4 But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.<<>> #Being with God wholeheartedly makes you untouchable. NB: the word was WHOLEHEARTEDLY. A divided attention with God may created loop holes around you. Being with God strenthens and protects you spiritually. Let us not suffer for earthly treasures but for righteousness sake. Remember we learnt that God saved Noah from destruction for the sake of righteousness. 1 Peter 3:13 And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good? 3:14 But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled; #Brethren, never curse anyone who speaks against your ministry. Continue to bless them and they will be ashamed soon. 1 Peter 3:16 Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ. 3:17 For it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing. #Take note of the scripture; it stated that the spirits which preached to were sometimes disobedient. This should tell you the reason why its very difficult to win some souls even after a very long period. 1 Peter 3:19 By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison; 3:20 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.
