Good morning Beloved

Peace be unto you in the name of our Lord Jesus

Earnestly contend for the faith once delivered unto the saints

Luke 18:8b Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?

Beloved, it is disheartening that what believers contend for is not the faith once delivered by the Lord Jesus unto the saints, His disciples and the ways of the early Church.

Believers now contend for wealth, prosperity, self gratification, fame and friendship with the world. Jesus never came preaching prosperity, no! His emphasis was on men drawing nigh to the Lord in repentance and consecration.

No more Heaven consciousness, no more holiness, no more love which proceeds out of a pure heart. The Lord Jesus said "Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal" Matthew 6:19 He did not say seek to aquire wealth, build houses, buy numerous cars or so on. Souls are perishing and all your cares is to acquire things that will perish.

What was the Lord's concern when He was on the earth? Money? Wealth? Fame? To please men? No! His concern always was to do the will of the Father - to call sinners to repentance, to teach the ways of the Most High GOD but what is your concern now? Money, money, money, how to be known worldwide, enjoyment, entertainment - all these are all vain and will perish and does not profit your soul.

John 4:34 Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.

The faith that the Lord Jesus delivered was one in which all men should draw to GOD in repentance, to do the will of the Father, living to please Him and love the Lord GOD and fellow men but all these have believers neglected in search for vain things which does not edify neither draw them close to GOD or please the Lord. Are you one of such believers?

Beloved, the Lord Jesus preached so much about Heaven and Hell that you might be conscious lest you fall short of eternal glory with Him but have you being obedient to His Word? Are you Heaven concious or you just live waywardly as though you are your own and belong to this world?

If the Lord Jesus return, all the things which He emphasized - living in conciousness of Heaven, Holiness, perfection, Love for GOD and your fellow man, will He still find them?

Jude 1:3 ...earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.

Beloved, earnestly contending for the faith is the responsibility of each believer. The Lord's call and instruction to you this day is that you earnestly contend for that faith delivered to the saints. Do it with all diligence!

The Lord Jesus called the house of GOD a place of prayer but now what has become of the house of GOD? A place for self-gratification? A place to accommodate the worldliness? A place for display of flesh? Lies termed comedy in His temple? Singing according to the world in His temple? This is but a few of the way the Lord's temple has been polluted by the world due to the fact that believers want to laugh, enjoy themselves and feel among. GOD is grieved!

The Lord GOD is very disheartened with the state of His church. The Lord says;

Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent. Revelation 2:5

Beloved, do the first works, earnestly contend for the faith once delivered unto the saints, the faith delivered by the Lord Jesus is almost wiped off, those who stood for the faith are getting weary and accommodating those things which the Lord hates, don't be weary! stand for the faith, which emphasize the whole Truth, repentance, Holiness, Heaven and the severity of Hell to those who entangle themselves with sin and the world, Love for GOD and fellow man in Holiness.

Beloved, the Lord GOD is counting on you! Repent from any sin whatsoever, from friendship with world, from chasing after vain things which profit not your soul but will harm and destroy it in Hell. Daily live to do the Father's Will depending on the Grace of GOD, live in consciousness of Heaven, in Holiness, purity and consecration to GOD even till the end that you may inherit His Kingdom, Heaven.

Only those who still hold on the faith delivered by the Lord Jesus till the end is worthy to reign with Him in Heaven. Will you be one of the few?

Finally Beloved, if you truly love the Lord, pray for His Church.

If you would harken diligently to His Word, blessed are you!

The Grace of our Lord Jesus be with you. Amen.

GOD bless you.

Shalom
