The gift of God is eternal Life.. Romans 6;23
God is the gift, himself the eternal life. Jesus said I am the ..life (John 10;10). God himself coming to man as man (1 Tim 3;16). My Question is this: Since you are a Minister of LIFE, and are yourself a Life that has come alive, what are you giving to man that gives them LIFE? What is your message of LIFE? What is it that you preach that makes a man come alive? What are you saying that makes his Faith come alive, his hope come alive. What is your COME ALIVE message?
(John 3;5).
Much of what some preach is far from a message of Life. sme think that if they preach the end of the world message they are preaching the gospel. far from it, you cant scare folks into0 the kingdom, telling folks they will burn in hell is not necessary, we are not called to preach the bad news. bad news don’t save bad news has no power, the gospel has power. that’s why we should preach the good news.
Others think that if a man preaches the good news he is compromising. the good news of the gospel is not compromising, its life giving , life changing! i can give you good news and make you happy but only Jesus can preach a man happy. only Jesus can say good things and save a man that’s the gospel that has power.
Do we preach sin? sure! A man has to understand sin and what it is to be saved from it and want to escape it. Now that he is saved however we preach Jesus and his righteousness. You can build a soul nor a church preaching a sin conscious message we build a soul and a church by teaching the revelation of the righteousness of God in Christ…and this means form time to time we have to remind ourselves of the dangers of sin and its a curse. the emphasis is different! we emphasise Jesus and so should you.
Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit to Galilee, and news about him spread throughout the whole countryside. 15 He taught in their synagogues and was praised by everyone.
Luke 4;16-24.
Jesus went to Nazareth, where he had been raised. On the Sabbath he went to the synagogue as he normally did and stood up to read. 17 The synagogue assistant gave him the scroll from the prophet Isaiah. He unrolled the scroll and found the place where it was written:
18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,
because the Lord has anointed me.
He has sent me to preach good news to the poor,
to proclaim release to the prisoners
and recovery of sight to the blind,
to liberate the oppressed,
19 and to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor
What’s your good news message?
