Ministry of the Dead!
Ministry of the Dead!
Some will not repent, even if the dead spoke.
He answered, Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my family, for I have five brothers. Let him “Warn Them”, so that they will not come to this place of torment. Abraham replied, They have Moses and the Prophets; let them listen to them. No, father Abraham, he said, “but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent”. He said to him, if they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, “they will not be convinced” even if someone “Rises From The Dead”.
(Luke 16:27-310
To Love the world and the things in it, “Blinds Us To Ministry Today”.
Our Daily Nugget
is showing us the Destiny of our Great Desire for Pleasure and our Failure to “Evangelize” ourselves and others, “While It Is Still Day”. Just going to Church Services, one or two hours per week; does not satisfy our obligation to obey the command to “Go Get Your Brother”. This command is obeyed “Outside the walls of a Church Building”; we can call it “Being The Church”, as opposed to “Having Church”. Both are needed, one does not replace the other.
Beware of Your “Desire For Pleasure”.
God did not create us to “Live For Our Pleasure”; God created us for “His Pleasure”. When God is Pleased with us; Great Pure Pleasure will come to us in ways that our heart/mind can’t imagine. For us to live to satisfy our desire for pleasure means that we are not loving our neighbor as we love ourselves.
To enjoy stuff is not in and of itself sin. But, when we place our actions, next to what God Requires of us, and we find that very little of our actions is “Directed Towards Loving Our Neighbor”, “God Will Not Be Pleased”. When God is not pleased with us, bad things happens to us, and the good things that would happen to us, “will not”, because we did not Love.
The Rich Man, used all his time, effort, assets, only to serve himself. Every day, Jesus was at his gate, begging for bread; the rich man passed by Jesus everyday and refused to “Help Him”, but instead, he went about his day, “Enjoying Pleasure”. There is no Salvation, nor Eternal Rewards in Enjoying Pleasure.
Enjoying Pleasure is Okay,
“But Only After, You Have Gone And Got Your Brother”; Warn Them Today!
