Winning Your Relatives

2 Timothy 3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 3:2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3:3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 3:4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 3:5 Having a form of godliness, but qq the power thereof: from such turn away. 2 Timothy 3:6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 3:7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Brethren the scriptures above are really saying a lot about these times we're living in. Remember it never said unbelievers are going to indulge in these acts; it stated "Men". Men includes everybody;From Ministers of the gospel to idol worshippers. From here it depends on us the individuals to make turning point decisions in our lives to prevent us from falling victims to the adversary. Brethren we have a lot of work to do as ministers to win back the lost at any cost. We keep talking so much about winning souls but never put it into action. Remember what 1 Cor 4:20 said. The kingdom of God is not in words but in power!! Brethren let's change this attitude of talking so much about doing Gods work without putting in an effort. You live in a household with an unsaved uncle or aunty and you feel comfortable going about you daily duties with no conscience at all!! What a minister!! He or she dies and you begin to regret in the next minute. Shame on you my brother! Do you know why God made you stand out in that household ??? In order to harvest the souls in and around you. The bible says that "a righteous man's household is saved" simply meaning that a righteous man will minister to his household to receive Jesus and be saved. Brethren, let us begin to win souls right from our homes and families before breaking out into the world. How beautiful it will be on the last day to see your relatives and the many souls you brought along with you in Heaven where your crown awaits you! Amen.
