Matthew 16:26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
Two most important questions We must endeavour to answer more often in this life in our pursuit of earthly things and dreams and aspirations are as presented in the scripture above. The more often we ask and ask ourself this question and answer and re answer this question, the better our decisions and choices in relation to the fate of our soul when all is done here on earth.
For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul? Man thinks he will be profited with a lot. Man thinks he will be profited with happiness. Man thinks he will be profited with prestige. Man thinks he will be profited with a high class in society. Man thinks he will be profited with the power to buy whatever his heart wishes for. Man thinks he will be so powerful. And many at times It's true, man Is truly profited with all these things. There are a lot of people walking about profited with all these things. But you see, Jesus didn't ask this question because He feels man can't be profited with those things should man trade his soul for those but because He Jesus, knowing the true value of the soul, far beyond the thinking ability of Man, deemed those benefits We crave for in exchange of our soul as no benefit at all as compared to the value God has placed on our soul. Man has his mind seared and choked with a whole bunch of benefits that blinds his eyes to the very truth and reality of the vanity of focusing ones whole life in achieving anything on earth that will mean substitution for his soul. The scripture above speaks volumes of the pricelessness and "beyond-valuation" nature of our soul. It shows the futility of trying to price tag the soul or find something here on earth worth losing the soul for! Nothing! There is NOTHING on this earth worth the soul of a man. Not even THE WHOLE WORLD, including the good fine places and it's great cities is worth the soul of a man. NOTHING. He asked again in the same text, "or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?" NOTHING BELOVED! NOTHING. Yet, thousands are losing their souls for this nothing. Thousands are losing their soul for friendship. Thousands are losing their soul for marriage. Thousands are losing their soul for money. Thousands are losing their soul for pleasure. Thousands are losing their soul for a job. Thousands are losing their souls for sex. Thousands are losing their souls for an electronic device. You are not being a wise business man. You are not trading wisely. Jesus Christ tried to open our eyes and minds to the extremely high value of our souls, and the need to trade it wisely if we so deem right. And to him, NOTHING, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, in this world is worth our soul. But thanks be to God, He didn't include heaven nor hell. Now these two place, apart from this world, are the destination of our souls when we check out someday from this world, depending on one greatest decision of all decisions we take in life. One of these two places, has what is worth trading our soul for. One promises ETERNAL LIFE with GOD without any of the troubles of this present world. WITHOUT ANY! The other promises ETERNAL DESTRUCTION with SATAN with pains beyond what words can express. You can decide for yourself which of these places has what it takes to match up to your soul. Beloved, to make it into the kingdom of God, to have your name in the BOOK OF LIFE,
YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN. IT'S VERY VERY NECESSARY AND IMPORTANT. DONT BE FOOLED. DONT BE DECEIVED. DONT THINK YOU HAVE ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD. DONT THINK YOU CAN DO THAT ANY OTHER TIME. NOW IS THE TIME TO TRADE YOUR SOUL FOR A BETTER PLACE IN ETERNITY IF YOU ARE NOT YET BORN AGAIN. THIS EARTH IS FAST PASSING AWAY. NOTHING IS SURERER IN THIS TIMES THAN DEATH. YOU ARE MORE LIKELY TO DIE THE NEXT MINUTE THAN TO LIVE. CANT YOU SEE? CANT YOU SEE THE RATE AT WHICH FOLKS ARE DIEING? WHAT'S MORE SURE NOW A DAYS? WHAT'S MORE SURE. WHO SEEMS VERY IMMUNE TO DEATH? CHECK WELL, MOST OF THE PEOPLE AROUND US DIEING ARE FOLKS WE NEVER IMAGINED DEATH FOR. THEY SEEMED IMMUNE TO DEATH. NO ONE KNOWS THE HOUR OF HIS DEPARTURE. MAKE THAT WISE DECISION NOW. SECURE A GOOD PLACE FOR YOUR SOUL. THE ONLY WAY TO DO THAT, IS TO ACCEPT THE LORD JESUS CHRIST AS LORD AND SAVIOUR OF YOUR LIFE AND OVER YOUR LIFE AND RECEIVE HIM INTO YOUR HEART.
John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
John 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN! YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN!! YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN!!!
JESUS CHRIST IS CALLING ON YOU NOW! HE IS KNOCKING AT THE DOOR OF YOUR HEART.
Revelation 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
How do you open the door to receive Christ Jesus into your life?
Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10:10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Just repeat this prayer where ever you are reading this post if you not BORN AGAIN or you want to rededicate your life to Christ JESUS.
PRAYER:
Dear Lord Jesus, please forgive me of all my sins. I acknowledge that I am sinner and you came all the way from heaven to die for my sins and redeem from hell. Dear Lord Jesus, I receive you into my life. Please I accept you into my heart as Lord and personal saviour of and over my life. Please write my name in the BOOK OF LIFE. Blot out y name from the books of eternal destruction and prepare me a place in heaven in Jesus mighty name Amen.
