SPEND AND BE SPENT FOR GOD

Is 52:7 “ How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto zion, Thy god reigneth!. To bring good tidings means to “Preach” or “Carry good news|”.
On Nov 1st 2008, mariam, the late elegant wife of the former military president of Nigeria, General Ibrahim Babangida was 59yrs. She was interviewed by reporters about her Islamic foundation, she quickly replied “Yes, I preach Islam in the villages, when I go there, I found out some of them do not have religion, they practice the traditional religion, I preach to them and bring them to God. I go in the morning and do not get back until late in the evening, we give them what we can then employ teachers to teach them”.
Listen, reader, age was not her barrier, her position as ex-president’s wife was not a barrier, her wealth was not a barrier etc. can you declare the same things about your faith and about your Lord Jesus Christ? Can you visit people around you or far away, spend time with them, telling them about CHRIST? Can you spend and be spent for the kingdom? When last did you genuinely go out for evangelism; individually or collectively as a church? In the second quarter of 2011, allow/let God use you to populate heaven and depopulate hell. Wining souls makes your feet (your journey through life) beautiful. Don’t forget if you sit down and just enjoy the great sermons and music of your church, souls will someday accuse you of criminal negligence against their eternal destiny ”USE YOUR DAYS TO THE BEST OF YOUR ABILITY FOR THE GLORY OF GOD, BENEFIT OF YOUR GENERATION AND THE EXPANSION OF HIS KINGDOM”.
2cor 12:15 “And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I be loved”.
Apostle Paul sought to give his money, himself willingly to support God’s work even to the point of sacrificing his life. To whom do you need to give the good news? Don’t hesitate or procrastinate. Also sow into God’s work and God will bless you.
Have a beautiful week.
Shalom!!!
