Sell All And Buy The Pearl by REDH2: 12:39am On Apr 23, 2021 |
Good morning Beloved Peace be unto you in the name of our Lord Jesus Sell all and buy the pearl Matthew 13:45 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls: 13:46 Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it. Beloved, give up the ways of the world, sin and fleshly lusts, put them off from you, cast it off, don't hold on it but acquire the pearl: seek the Kingdom of Heaven, therefore in doing so 1. Walk in Holiness i.e live a life that pleases GOD in words and deeds - that each word that proceeds from your lips and what you do and engage in pleases the Lord your GOD. Put off lying, gossiping, swearing, cursing and stealing from your lips and ways. 2. Live a life consecrated to GOD - that your body and all you have is channeled towards glorifying Him, that you no longer seek to please men or yourself but to live for Him which died for you and rose again. Flee from fornication and all manners of sexual sin, unholy dressing - those dressing that makes others weak in faith and at the same time does not honour GOD. Your body is GOD's temple, therefore consecrate your body to please Him in all things. 3. Live a sanctified life - this can only be attained by constant renewal of your mind by the Word of GOD and putting off those things which pertains to the world i.e don't give your mind to those things which will not edify you neither profit your soul but only give pleasure for a moment and in it lies the way of death - sin. 4. Be pure - worldly songs, movies, comedy and worldly engagements will pollute your heart and teach you ungodliness. Therefore be pure in heart, give not your heart unto pollution. Purity is the result of sanctification. Give attention to GOD's Word and He shall cleanse your ways (Psalm 119:9) Therefore Beloved, purge yourself of the old leaven (life) and seek & cleave to the new life in Christ Jesus by obedience to these words. The Kingdom of Heaven is a pearl of great price - requires a lot of sacrifices, sacrifice the world, give up sin and seek the Kingdom of Heaven. Heaven is so valuable that you must first sell off the old life before you attain it. Will you be that man who sells all he had in order to have that goodly pearl? Beloved, I beseech you to be that man, cut off those association with the world and sinful lifestyle and seek to enter through Heaven's gate. Very few seek this narrow path but Beloved be among this very few! Lastly, give diligent heed to fervent and effectual prayers. The Grace of our Lord Jesus be with you. Amen. GOD bless you. Shalom. #AcceptChrist #LiveforChrist 1 Like 1 Share |

REDH2:God never gave any commands indicating a dress code of any kind. So, it is not your place to tell anyone how to dress in the Kingdom of God. God is the one and only Teacher over those who belong to Him and He alone can give them instructions on what they can or cannot wear. Also where it concerns watching of movies, comedies, songs, God never gave His people commandments regarding those either. So, it's not your place to tell others what they can or cannot listen to. If a lesson is needed God Himself will teach His own. As for the Kingdom of God, given your all means losing everything, just as Jesus Christ commanded, and everything includes that ego and reputation you have built up for yourself as a "holy holy ". Be sure that some will start off thinking themselves closer to the image of God, by Man's standard ofcourse, but will be transformed into persons without shame or inhibition, by God Himself. |
