Message
Years ago, I visited a country which had one of the largest cemeteries in the world. On top of ever grave in that cemetery, there is a concrete slab nd some homeless residents of that city lived in tentg hat were built over these slabs. For that reason, the cemetery was called 'the city of the dead '.
Beloved, do you know that people who have not given heir lives to Christ or who claim to have done so but are still indulging in sin are living in a spiritual city of the dead? Today 's Bible reading tells us that we were once dead in our sins and trespasses before Jesus made us alive through His death and resurrection. He went to the city of the dead and took the keys of hell and death from satan (Revelation 1:1 8). Jesus died so that nobody would have to experience the torture of eternal death. if you are currently living in the city of the dead, I implore you to escape from there right now by acceptingJesus as your Lord and Saviour before it is too late. Turn to Him today, and He will change your address from the city of the dead to the Kingdom of Life.
If you are God 's child, it is your responsibility to preach the gospel to those who haven 't given their lives to Jesus Christ. Don 't be so busy minding your business that you neglect the Lord 's business of witnessing to lost souls. Sometimes, the blessing you desire is hidden in your obedience to the Lord 's command to preach the gospel and make disciples of all nations.
Years ago, a lady was praying to God for a husband, and God told her,"Go out and win souls. Your husband is not part of My family yet." She obeyed and focused on preaching to the lost. About six months later, she came to me and said,"Daddy, I have a problem." I asked her what the problem was, and she said,"One of the converts that I have just won to Christ says that he wants to marry me." I asked her to pray about it and accept his proposal if she 's convinced about him. Today, they are one of the best couples that I know.
Beloved, if God has saved you from the city of the dead, don 't be selfish; reach out to those who are still living there so they can also join you in His Kingdom of Life.
Bible In One Year:
Proverbs 30-31
Hymn:
To The Work! To The Work! We Are Servants Of God
Key Point:
It is every Christian 's responsibility to witness to those who are still living in the city of the dead.
To the work! to the work! we are servants of God
Toiling on, toiling on.
Toiling on, toiling on.
Let us hope, let us watch,
And labour till the Master comes.
