Would You Turn Down a Pardon?

 

“For this is My blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.” Matthew 26:28

In 1829 George Wilson was adjudicated guilty and given the death sentence for murder. But Wilson had some friends who petitioned President Andrew Jackson for a pardon.

 

Jackson granted the pardon, and it was brought to prison and given to Wilson. To everyone’s surprise, Wilson said, “I am going to hang.”

 There had never been a refusal to a pardon, so the courts didn’t know what to do. Discussion went all the way to the Supreme Court, and Justice John Marshall gave this ruling: “A pardon is a piece of paper, the value of which depends upon the acceptance by the person implicated. If he does not accept the pardon, then he must be executed.”

 God loves you and wants to pardon you, but if you refuse Him, you will die and go to hell. Cast yourself upon Him completely, and receive the free gift of His forgiveness today.

 

Have you repented of your sin and believed upon the atoning work of Christ’s blood on the cross? Being good doesn’t get you to heaven. It is only Jesus.

 

Endeavour no to crucify Jesus Christ once again by your persistent sins and adulterous way.

 

Be holy for He is Holy.

You have no time you have only NOW.

Friend, are you yet spending all your time chasing wealth, honour, and power? What is their total worth? A billion dollars? Twenty billion? Or, perhaps, the whole world? Then there is the true worth of the world; 

NOTHING.”But the day of the Lord’ says the spirit of God, “will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

Now, consider this: at least 85 people die every minute! that means 5,100 every hour, 122,400 every day. 3.67 million every month and well over 44 million every year!

That is not all. Now the tragedy is that majority of these people- hold your breath  – go straight to hell screaming, weeping, and wailing and groaning with the pain and terror of hell where they will sorrow day and night, forever, all through eternity.

FOR MINISTERS OF GOD

 In ministry, to attempt to please everybody is to end up pleasing Satan. There are people who dislike you for what you are doing. 

There are those who dislike you for what you are not doing. Certain people's full-time job is criticism. 1Cor 4:1-5. 

Always remember that your number one audience in ministry is God.

A Day In My Life With God

A Day In My Life With God

This is how you give your battle to The Lord. 

Tell Him that you are done fighting and you are giving it all to Him.

Tell Him you will no longer worry about it or even think about it.

 Tell Him you can't do this in your strength. 

Tell him you need Him to do it all. Then every time anything comes to your mind concerning this battle, just say to yourself,"I've given it to Jesus," and go about your business or maybe even start praising Jesus, or quote Scripture, or sing a hymn.

 Do whatever it takes to keep your mind off the battle, because this battle it is no longer yours. The battle is the Lord's!!!

AS A LEADER

As a leader, if you surround yourself with people who are not seeing what you are seeing, they will soon want you to see what they are seeing.

BUT GOD GAVE THE INCREASE

BUT GOD GAVE THE INCREASE

 (1Co 3:6 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.)

Mr. Sunny was invited by his in-laws after series of attacks on them by their enemies, to assist in arresting and winning the battle that has almost wiped away the people and their generation. The error in that land too has also come to a full blown war threatening to destroy the foundation of their lives. 

When Mr. Sunny got to the place, he told his in-laws of how anxiety almost wipe out everybody in their land and the strategies to ameliorate the problems.

 

He then pleaded that 28 deaf and dump people be sought and given for his mission to be accomplished in that land.

Within the twinkle of an eye, the men were made available to him. Unknown to them; the secret of victory lied in these men.

 The people did not know how to communicate to these deaf and dump men; but to alleviate the problems in their land; they met every demand of their in-law. - Mr. Sunny.

The great day came when Mr. Sunny and his men were to commence the alleviation of the problems; the deaf and dump men who were now skilled in the art with full understanding of their assignment went into action.

They first gave reverence to God and to the amazement and to full glare of the people these men fought, captured and plundered the root of the people’s apprehension.

When asked why the use of deaf and dump people, Mr. Sunny said that they would not hear the discouraging sermons, words, and distraction etc of the indigenes of the land; he also said the fearful talks; boastings of the enemies were no treats to them because they could not hear them.

Mr. Sunny said most importantly that there was no compromise, leakage of their warfare plans, talk back etc from his camp.

Thus the word of God admonishes us to as listed below:

2Ch 32:8 With him is an arm of flesh; but with us is the LORD our God to help us, and to fight our battles. And the people rested themselves upon the words of Hezekiah king of Judah

Psalms 144:1 Blessed be the LORD my strength, which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight:

Zec 10:5  And they shall be as mighty men, which tread down their enemies in the mire of the streets in the battle: and they shall fight, because the LORD is with them, and the riders on horses shall be confounded.

1Co 3:7 So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.
