TRACT 71: SOMEONE CARES “Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you” 1 Peter 5:7 There is someone who was ever in heaven; on earth and presently in heaven that cares for your body, soul and spirit. He volunteered and descended from heaven to earth to save you from sin, sickness, self, Satan, second death, and to secure your soul for heaven. Before the commencement of his mission; he embarked on forty days and forty nights prayer and fasting just because of you. Satan, your greatest enemy tempted him on three occasions with food, riches and magical power to prevent him from saving you; but he sternly rejected his offers and rebuked him with the word of God. God was proud of him and gave him power to forgive all sins, bless, perform miracles, heal and deliver from demonic oppressions. He finished his mission on earth by going the way of the cross, died and resurrected to redeem your soul from death. He is now in heaven await...

TRACT 70: HEAVEN’S FAVOURITE TUNE? “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord” Colossians 3:16 The Saviour Jesus himself was the first to incorporate the singing of hymns in the beginning of Christianity during the Lord’s Supper “And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives” Mark 14:26 . Singing has always been a part of worship and praise to God, and angels sometimes join us when we worship God. However, not all gospel songs are acceptable before God and His holy angels in heaven, because songs are either inspired by God or from kingdom of darkness. Below is a testimony excerpted from the Vision of the Power of Spiritual Songs. “The Spirit of the Lord began to minister to me that many spiritual songs and most hymns that we sing on earth were inspired from heaven, and sing in heaven even in a mo...

TRACT 69: LIKE THE NINEVEHIANS? “So the people of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them” Jonah 3:5 The message of the LORD was sent to the great city of Nineveh through the preacher Jonah; just like His message is reaching you now. The inhabitants of Nineveh were extremely wicked and sinful, and had no one to warn them. The merciful God, who does not destroy sinners without first giving warning, sent Prophet Jonah to preach repentance unto them. All the people (men, women, boys, girls and little children) after hearing the message of Jonah believed God, embarked on fasting and cried to God in Prayer. They all repented from wickedness and God turned away His wrath from them “And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he said that he would do unto them; and he did it not” Jonah 3:10. Our towns are cities today are likened to the great and wi...

TRACT 68: LIKE THE CORNELIUS? “He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an angel of God coming in to Him, and saying unto him Cornelius. And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, What is it, Lord? And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God. And now send men to Joppa, and call for one Simon, whose surname is Peter: He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side: he shall tell thee what thou oughtest to do” Acts 10:3-6 Cornelius was a devoted worshipper of God as well as a soldier commanding a group, made up of hundred soldiers. Cornelius and his entire house feared God; and despite he was known for alms giving and constant prayer to God, he and his household were never saved. As he was praying one afternoon around three o’ clock, the angel of God appeared to him in a vision. He told him to call for one Jesus’ disciple called Peter, to show him the way of salvation. Cornelius obeyed an...

TRACT 67: GOT WEDDING GARMENT? “And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment: And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless. Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness, there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth” Matthew 22: 11-13 A parable was told by the Saviour of a king who made a wedding for his son. The king sent forth his servants to call those who were given invitation that the wedding banquet was set but none honoured the invitation. Some went their ways into their farms and businesses while some rough-handled the king’s servants and killed them in the process. The king out of anger sent forth his armies to destroy the murderers and their city. Having destroyed the murderous sinners, he sent forth is servants into the high ways to invite as many people as they could see into the wed...

TRACT 66: STOP FUSTRATING HIS GRACE “For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins” Hebrews 10:26 For how long would you continue to frustrate the grace of God through rising and falling in sin? Has it not become your habit to addressing yourself as sinner before God and confessing your sins during hours of prayer? The ignorance of the righteousness of God has made many believers to make the tax collector whom Jesus spoke of in a parable, their epitome of emulation. Of course, the tax collector confessed his sins before God and went home justified while the Pharisee who exalted his self righteousness was not justified before God. The tax collector during his time was not saved but a sinner. A true believer is different from a sinner because of salvation received and availability of sufficient grace to live above sin “What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid....

TRACT 65: NOT LOST BUT FOUND “And when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking him. And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions. And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers” Luke 2:45-46. Was tender Jesus lost at the age of twelve? Of course not, it was just that he had to be in fellowship which is the business of his heavenly Father on earth. It was so that after the completion of the yearly feast of Passover at Jerusalem, the parents of Jesus were on their way back to their town of residence. They thought Jesus was with their kinsfolk and acquaintance, but suddenly realized after a day journey that Jesus was not with them. They returned back to Jerusalem, kept searching for Jesus for three days until they found him in the temple conversing with the religious scholars “And when they saw him, they were amazed: and h...

TRACT 64: SPOTLESS GARMENT? “Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy. He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white rainment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels” Revelation 3:4-5 Just as a tiny small dot of ink on a white paper is the center of focus at first sight; so it is for the little sin in man before God. It is not everyone who bears Christian name or goes to church that is garment is pure before the eyes of God. Jesus Christ was right when he said that there were few Christians in the church of Sardis which have not defiled their garments. Every sin be it little or great is of great magnitude before God, because His eyes are too pure to behold sin. The Holy Spirit cannot reside in the body that is defiled with sin; and only saints with unspotted garment will be counted worthy t...

TRACT 63: GO AND SIN NO MORE “And when Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? Hath no man condemned thee? She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus saith unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more” John 8:10-11 A woman was caught in adultery by some scribes and Pharisees and brought to Jesus for judgment. Those Scribes and Pharisees’ motive was to tempt Jesus and accuse him, if he should go contrary to the Law of Moses which commanded that whosoever caught in adultery should be stoned. But Jesus stooped down, and with his fingers wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not. After a while, Jesus asked anyone that is without sin should be the first to stone the woman. But none did cast stone at her because their conscience convicted them of their own secret sins. They left one by one starting from the eldest to the youngest leaving Jesus and the woman alone. Since no one remained to condemn the...

TRACT 62: NOT EVERYONE “Not everyone that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my father which is in heaven” Matthew 7:21 There would be surprises on the Day of Judgment as many nominal Christians would be sternly denied by Christ. Some pastors, evangelist, prophets, elders, choristers, ushers, prayer warriors, drama members and other members who indulge in sins would receive the greatest shock in the soul world; as they would hear Jesus saying, “He never knew them”. They would tell Jesus of their commitment and mighty works done in his name; but still be told, “He never knew them”. “Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy 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” Matthew 7:22-23. God’s uttermost desire for every living soul on earth is to make...

TRACT 61: THE COMPASSIONATE FRIEND “And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people” Matthew 9:35 There were many religious leaders before he started his three fold ministry. Those religious leaders claimed to teach the people in the way of God but never fully practiced what they thought. They put burdens upon their followers and asked them to live by the Law of Moses and their traditions. It was never recorded that they healed any sick, raised the dead, cast demons or preached the kingdom of God. However, when Jesus started his three fold ministry (teaching preaching and healing), the multitude saw the difference between their religious leaders and Jesus. The multitude saw that Jesus practiced what he taught, preached to them the kingdom of heaven and had compassion on them “But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them...
