Highway To Heaven -- Become A Fisher of Men

Death as you know it is EVITABLE, only life is inevitable...The cure is never to be born, once you are born, you'll live forever but it is possible to be dead and yet be alive, that is the lot of those that only exist, you didn't decide to be here, that was God's choice and you couldn't have avoided it so life is inevitable since you are here already. You can choose to die today and you can choose to live forever, yes you can cheat death and live eternally. The steps are as simple as 1,2,3… here they are:

  1. Confess Jesus as your Lord and Saviour (Rom. 10:9|NKJV -- "that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved")
  2. Obey his commandments, very easy because there are just two of them (Matt. 22:40|MSG -- "Jesus said, ‘Love the Lord your God with all your passion and prayer and intelligence.’ This is the most important, the first on any list. But there is a second to set alongside it: ‘Love others as well as you love yourself.’ These two commands are pegs; everything in God’s Law and the Prophets hangs from them.') Matt.7:12|Gal.5:14
  3. Become a marketer of the Gospel (Matt.4:19|KJV -- "And he saith unto them, 'Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men' ")
    -Mark. 16:15-16|KJV
    -- "And he said unto them, 'Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned'."
    -Matt.28:19|KJV --
    "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost
    -Gen.1:28|WEB -- "
    God blessed them. God said to them, 'Be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth, and subdue it..' ".


If you are not subduing the earth with the gospel, then you'll explain why and be thrown into very dark darkness.

Freewill is a trap, the only way to be free is to know Christ and do his will.

"It's My Life" -- I've heard this dumb ass statement too many times that it no longer makes my skin cringe… I just can't help wondering
·         When did it become your life?
·         Why didn't you just drop from the sky if you don't need parents and people to guide you?
·         When did you create yourself?
The life that you have now is not your choice, it is the choice of God and it is in his wisdom that he gave you the life for his own will and purpose, and He not only gave you the Bible and plenty more scriptures to be light to your path and lamp to your feet, He gave you parents and people to mould and shape you, gave them the instruction to teach you the way to go and gave them the rod aka "koboko" to mill you into the shape he defined before you were made. God gave you the gift of choice not for you to ruin the life He gave you. Freewill is a trap and you are not free to do anything with your life because you are 18 years old or above. It is not your life, it is a present, a gift and He will demand from you what you did with not just your life, but with the gift of choice He gave you.

Remember the story of the talents in the Bible? He gave the talents and didn't give instructions for it to be invested or not, He allowed the choice to invest it or not to invest, that's what you call "freewill" but when He returned, I bet you know the rest of the story. Your life is not a choice, it is His will and it must be done, you don't have a choice like it appears, your choice is God's choice.

The kingdom of God is fast approaching and you must be seen doing the business of your Father in heaven whether you make profit doing it or not. It is safer for you to invest your talent and loss it than for you to bury it and keep it safe till the master returns, it is better for you to try, attempt fishing men for God and fail at it than for you not to try at all, it is glorious to even loose your life at it because if you do, you'll gain it back when the master returns. Judgment is fast approaching, are you preaching the Gospel of Christ? Are you fruitful, dominating, multiplying and replenishing the earth with the Gospel?

Judgment will not be based on whether you drank beer or not, neither will it be on whether you fornicated or committed adultery or any of those bullshit, He died for your sins already so he won't be asking you for your sin anymore, your righteousness is of faith and not work. (Rom.10:5-13|NKJV -- For Moses writes about the righteousness which is of the law, “The man who does those things shall live by them.” But the righteousness of faith speaks in this way, “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’”(that is, to bring Christ down from above) or, “‘Who will descend into the abyss?’” (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach), that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.)
but He's called you out to be fisher of men, he's going to ask you
"How many men did you catch for me?"
Your answer(s) then; will determine whether you will "Enter Into The Joy Of Your Lord" or be thrown into "Outer/Utter Darkness". It's not just being born again and inheriting grace, righteousness is not enough because it is of faith, a gift for believing but you can't live a sinful life because grace abounds. If you live a life of sin, you won't catch NOTHING, not even a shadow for Christ. Let everywhere you go, everywhere you find yourself be an altar for preaching the gospel of Christ, let everything you do speak the Gospel of Christ. Preach the gospel but more importantly, LIVE THE GOSPEL. Let the world around you come to you to ask you to show them your God.

I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ… Now that I am done writing, I think I need a glass of wine…(worry not about whether it is alcoholic or not).
