To God be The glory, Amen

*🌀I SAW THIS STORY WITH A WONDERFUL LESSON AND THOUGHT TO SHARE IT WITH YOU, PLEASE ENJOY (and this is not the ‘religion’ we share on a regular basis; so rest easy!)*

An old King realized that if he died he had no one to take over his throne. He decided to adopt a son.

He launched a competition and 10 boys made it to the top. The King said to them, “I have one last test and whoever comes top will become my adopted son and heir to my throne”.

He gave each boy a seed of corn and told them to take the seed home, plant and nurture it for 3 weeks. The 10 boys took their seeds and ran home to plant their seeds.

In one home, the boy and his parents were sad when the seed failed to sprout. The boy had diligently done everything required but he failed.

His friends advised him to buy a seed and plant it, but his God fearing parents who had always taught him honesty refused.

The day to give account to the King came and the 10 boys went to the palace. All the other 9 boys were successful with their seeds.

The King went to each boy asking – “Is that what came out of the seed I gave you?” And each boy said “Yes, your majesty”. The King would nod and move down the line until he came to the last boy in the line who was shaking with fear.

The King asked him – “What did you do with the seed I gave you?” The boy said “I planted it and cared for it your majesty but it failed to sprout.” The King went to the throne with the boy and said, “I gave these boys boiled seeds and a boiled seed cannot sprout.

If a King must have one quality, it must be honesty and only this boy passed the test.” We live in a society where people will do anything for success.

God sometimes does not give us things because He wants to teach us a lesson.

How many people out there have achieved success the wrong way? How many people send their children to expensive schools, build houses, buy expensive cars, etc, with stolen money?

How many people are occupying top positions yet they stole the certificates? How many people are successful out there at all costs?

HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL BE CROWNED AS KINGS IN HEAVEN FOR BEING FAITHFUL UNTIL THE END? I PRAY THAT YOU AND I BE FAITHFUL TO THE END..!!!

Please be faithful to God no matter what life throws at you, even if life gives you boiled seed.

We as Christians are blessed! Big-Lessons- Emerging-Solely-Surreptitiously-In-New-God-granted waves of plenty, Amen

The other day I watched a movie called “Zero Account”.

From the quality and look of the movie I was already discouraged.

As the movie progressed the Lord opened my eyes to see a deeper meaning.

A devoted Christian was going on a journey. He was riding the bus along with some unbelievers and unfortunately there was a crash.  Of all the passengers on the bus, he was the only one that died while some of the unbelievers left that same bus without so much as a scratch.

The Pastor of his church was so bitter that he cried unto God asking why he would take him at such a young age and leave the unbelievers behind.

At that instant, an angel of the Lord appeared unto him in human form and showed him the life of the young man after death.

The young man was taken to hell with an angel of the Lord. While they were there, the angel told him that his life was a wasted investment unto God and because of him so many people had been cast away in hell.

He was surprised. A demon arose and called his roommate in the university. It was shown that his roommate wanted him to show him the way of God on the night he was to be initiated into a cult, but he said he couldn’t because he was late for fellowship. That same night his roommate was killed during the initiation by a rival cult. He never got to hear the word of God from him.

The demon then called yet another name and a woman came forward. She was his close friend during his youth service year.
People even used to call them husband and wife. So many times she invited him to clubs and parties but never once did he invite her to church.

On the last day of camp on their way going home, she saw a tract in the cab they boarded. The outline said “Jesus the way, the truth, and the life”.  She begged him to explain to her but he was angry because he lost his flash drive at the stadium.  Even when they got to their destination she kept on begging him to tell her more, but he refused and promised to call her the next day. She left sad and distraught.  On her way home, alone, she had an accident and died without ever hearing the knowledge of Christ from him.

Once again, the demon called out yet another name. The young man’s own biological sister came out. He was shocked. He was already in tears when he saw the others, but when he saw his sister he wept uncontrollably.  She lived a wayward life, always drinking and partying. He always condemned her but he never introduced her to Christ. She had an abortion one day and it went wrong. On the hospital bed, someone came to preach to her but he sent the person out. Even in pains she begged him for forgiveness and for him to preach to her but he turned deaf ears to her pleas.
On that same bed she lost her life without the knowledge of Christ.

After these three people had given their accounts, he wept bitterly because he had so many opportunities to preach to them but he didn’t.

Their blood was on his hands.

After this was done, the angel took him to Heaven, to the hall of judgment where they met another angel. The Angel explained to him that for everyone that didn’t go to hell, they would come to the hall of judgment before they would be given access to Heaven where their works would be tested in fire to check the quality.

Those whose works had strong content and good foundation, those works would remain. But those whose works had no tangible content, it would be burnt completely in the fire.

When his works were tested, it was burnt completely. He was shocked.

The moral is this:
You can serve God from January till December,

You can pray 24/7,

You can go on an all-year fasting,

You can clean the church with your body day in and day out,

You can speak all the tongues known to man and in the spirit,

BUT, if you do not evangelize and preach the word of God, all you’ve done is nothing, zero!

You see,

Even a sinner can attend service,

Even a sinner can clean the church.

The primary function of a Christian on earth is to bear fruits. In the story above, the young man didn’t achieve destiny,
because he didn’t fulfill his purpose, he didn’t preach the gospel…
He did NOTHING!!!

Absolutely nothing.

He was a wasted investment because he didn’t impact any life on earth.

I know this has been a long share but I hope in my heart and in my soul that this has touched even just one person.

This is a wake-up call to ALL Christians!!! Let’s us stop acting nonchalantly.

To as many that have read this, PLEASE rebroadcast it to others because it might save someone’s heart and their eternal destination.

I pray that God bless you and keep you to fulfill God’s purpose for you as a Christian here on earth. May God’s goodness and His favour remain with you now, and forever more. Amen

The greatest tonic is laughter:
https://www.openbible.info/topics/humor_and_laughter
This is an emotion unique to Humans. The ‘senses’ behind ‘meaning’ are unique! Yes, there can be pleasure expressed, even joy. But, we have ‘characteristics’ based on God’s image n Whom we are made.

Sarah then said, “God has given me cause to laugh, and all who hear of it will laugh with me. Genesis 21:6
