TRACT 94: HAVE YOU DECIDED? ''From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him. Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away?'' John 6:66-67. They did follow Jesus simply because they had heard and seen him turning water into wine; healing the sick, setting the captives free from demonic oppression and doing wondrous miracles. Their zeal to follow Jesus became so strong after eating free breads and fishes miraculously provided by Jesus. But they soon became so disappointed in Jesus after he delivered a hard and undiluted sermon on the kingdom of God. They all left him save the twelve followers '' Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? Thou hast the words of eternal life. And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God'' John 6:68-69. The cost of following Jesus is high but the gains are higher. Following Jesus is following the hard and narrow way of holiness ...

TRACT 93: FROM HANDSET TO HELL ''Abstain from all appearance of evil'' 1Thessalonians 5:22. The Almighty God knew before hand that men would become inventors of so many things that could leads to destruction of their souls; that was why he forbade the first man and woman from eating fruit on the tree of knowledge of good and evil. But the first parents disobeyed, ate from the forbidden tree and became small gods and inventors. One of the notable inventions of man is handset (mobile phone). With the handsets, the world has turned into portable global village; as man can now view the whole world through the small screen of handsets. No doubt, some use their handsets to edify their souls either in private or public while others use them to destroy their souls. Those that use their handsets to destroy their souls are often too quick to forget that they would stand and give accounts of what they did in secret and public with their phones on the day of judgment '...

TRACT 92: THE SAVIOUR OR SATAN? ''The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly'' John 10:10. God is the Supernatural Being. The other supernal beings are Jesus and Satan; they were both with God in heaven. Satan, the Lucifer thought to dethrone and exalt himself above God. He connived with one third of the angels in heaven to dethrone God. The Almighty God aborted his plan and cast him and the rebellious angels out of heaven into the earth. Satan soon became jealous of the like creature of God (mankind). He knew that his eternal destination after earth is lake of fire; and does not want to go there alone but take many souls along with him. He succeeded and deceived the first man and woman to eat from the forbidden fruit, then passed his imparted nature to mankind. God so loved the world, that he send his humble and obedience Son, Jesus into the world to save m...

TRACT 90: MY SPIRITUAL BIRTH EXPERIENCES (A True Life Story) ''So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom'' Psalm90:12. There are three birth of man. The first is supernatural ''And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul'' Genesis 2:7. The second birth is natural (of the flesh) '' And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD'' Genesis 4:1. The third birth is spiritual ''That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, ye must be born again'' John 3:6-7. Apart from the first man and woman on earth, everyone came into this world through the natural birth of the flesh; and only those who subject themselves to the spiritual birth on earth will enter heaven '...

TRACT 89: STOP GOING LATE ''The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre'' John 20:1.

She was present during Jesus’ crucifixion, burial; first to the tomb in the early morning of Sunday, and stayed behind when others left the tomb. Her consistent devotion to the Lord made Jesus to reveal himself first to her. Jesus had eleven living apostles, many disciples, mother, sisters and brothers; but none of them was first that resurrection Sunday save grateful Mary. Her weeping at the empty tomb immediately turned into worship ''Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seeketh thou? She, supposing him to be gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him h...

TRACT 88: BE THE BIBLE ''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 The Bible is the light of God's word. It contains the basic instructions that guide believers in Christ unto all righteousness. A slogan says '' You are the Bible people read''. True believers in Christ read the Bible and live out the humbly life of Christ for other people (unbelievers and sinners) to see the light. Many sinners and unbelievers may never get a copy of the Bible and read until they read the Bible in Christians. And so, Christians are not to be careless in words and actions but live a life that glorify God ''And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him'' Colossians 3:17. A song writer wrote: While passin...

TRACT 87: LIKE ZACCHAEUS? ''And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for today I must abide at thy house. And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully'' Luke 19:5-6 . Zacchaeus was a rich tax collector who became rich through illegal collection of money from people. One day, Jesus was passing through Jericho with multitude following him; and Zacchaeus desired to see who Jesus was, but because of his short height and crowd, could not see Jesus.

TRACT 86: TIME IS RUNNING OUT! ''And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us put on the armour of light'' Romans 13:11-12. Time is running out! Death or rapture can come anytime!! Heaven and Hell are real!!! It is certain that life will not continue forever and everyone will transit from earth into eternity beyond (Heaven or Hell) either by death or rapture. At rapture, repentant sinners and saints would be caught into heaven. At death, saints would open their eyes in heaven; while sinners, unbelievers and backsliders would open their eyes in Hell. For every plus one year old (birthday) is minus one of the years one would spend on earth ''Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away'' James 4:14. A song wri...
