TRACT 148: DESIRE A HEAVENLY CROWN? "Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain". Ist Corinthians 9:24. What type of race are you in, heavenly race or earthly race? Without shred of doubt, we live on earth to work, multiply, replenish and to run the heavenly race. Those who live on earth without partaking in heavenly race are blindfolded by Satan.Heavenly race is a narrow path of holiness which leads to heaven - where saints are rewarded with glorious and shiny crowns. These crowns are the crown of life, the crown of righteousness, the incorruptible crown, the crown of glory and the crown of rejoicing. The Crown of Life is a reward for believers who live daily by the Word of God; resisting the urge to fall into temptation and persevering through trials of life. James 1:12. The Crown of Righteousness is a reward for believers who hunger and thirst after righteousness; living peacefully with all men ...

TRACT 147: YOU ARE CALLED ''Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.... Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven '' Matthew 5:14 & 16. A song writer wrote: ''Do not wait until some deed of greatness you may do, Do not wait to shed your lights afar; To the many duties ever near you now be true, Brighten the corner where you are" We live in this world to work (take care of ourselves and others) and worship God. And it is the earnest expectation of heavens that whatsoever duty men render on earth should ascribe glory to God and not kingdom of darkness. The heart of man is continually evil and producing works of darkness. God has not left the world totally in spiritual darkness in that He sent His Light (Jesus) into the world to lightens the world and to raise lights (true Christians) on earth. A notable characteristic of light is that ...

TRACT 146: THERE IS HOPE FOR YOU "For with God nothing shall be impossible". Luke 1:37 You are unique and precious in the sight of God. God thinks of you and has special plan for you. His plan for you is to live a fulfilled life on earth and to reign with Him in Heaven. Zechariah and Elizabeth were examples (Luke 1). Even though they are no longer on earth, the Bible still speaks of them. Their faithfulness to God, even in old age and having no child is an example of inspiration. God visited them at the appointed time and they had a promised child called John - the greatest among those born of all women. He became the forerunner of Jesus - The Saviour of the World. All hope is not lost as there is hope in the Saviour Jesus. Jesus is the way out of darkness. He can still every storm of live. He is the Healer, Deliverer, Prince of Peace, Comforter, Compassionate Friend, Provider, Omnipotent and Omniscience. Nothing is too bigger for him to do and nothing to worry about...

TRACT 145: HAVE YOU DECIDED? ''My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me'' John 10:27 . The above were the words of Jesus. Not everyone who professes in songs to be a follower of Jesus is a genuine follower. Jesus' followers are known by the righteous fruits which they bear within (in heart) and without (on the outward). True followers of Jesus have renounced SIN, SELF and SATAN and have chosen to do the will of God. We can not say we have decided to follow Jesus when we have not decided to forsake the works of iniquity (sin). Jesus said, '' Not everyone that saith unto me, Lord, Lord shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in the name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity...

TRACT 144: WILL YOU FOLLOW JESUS? ''Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me" John 14:6. The only person that came down from heaven and lived on earth as man is Jesus. Jesus knows everything about God and everything about heaven. No religious leader or prophet can claim to know God more than Jesus. He was with the Father before the creation and still with the Father. It is only through Jesus that all men can be saved and transit from earth to eternity in Heaven. "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved" Acts 4:12. Does it pay to follow Jesus and are there rewards for knowing him by his words? Yes, it pays to follow Jesus and the rewards are both earthly and heavenly. When you follow Jesus, you have ✓joy of salvation ✓inner peace with contentment ✓intimate relationship with God ✓pleasant fellowship wit...

TRACT 143: JESUS NEEDS OUR HELP " Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen" Mathew 28:19-20 . When Jesus was physically present on earth, he went about healing, teaching holiness and preaching repentance as criteria to entering the Kingdom of Heaven. After risen from death, he spent additional forty days on earth to encourage and remind his followers to share with others his messages on repentance, holiness, love, humility in service and the kingdom of God. The saints (disciples) of old never disappointed but earnestly contended for Jesus' gospel. The barton has been passed to us contemporary Christians. Congratulations if you are a genuine follower of Christ, and Holiness and agape love are your watch words. Christ does not want anyone from earth go...
