TRACT 81: RICHEST SOULS ON EARTH

''Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven'' Matthew 5:3

The starting beatitude of Jesus in the Bible is the blessedness of being poor in spirit. It opens the gate to the kingdom of heaven to those who recognize their spiritual poverty and needed to be spiritually filled. The poor in spirit always desire more of the word of God; more of the worship of God and more willful power to promote the kingdom of God. Those who have wealth, fame, money and power on earth without salvation, are not rich in the sight of God but the poorest souls on earth ''So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God'' Luke 12:21

The poor in spirit have humble spirit to become followers of Jesus. The poor in spirit, though may be rich, are empty of pride and worldliness. Their love for the things of God is more than love for the things of this world; as they use their energy, time, money and talents to promote God's kingdom.

God desires everyone to be rich on earth and lay up their treasures in heaven. He wants sinners to mourn and repent of their sins. God wants unbelievers and idolaters to recognize their spiritual poverty and humbly come to the Lord Jesus for salvation, sanctification and infilling of the Holy Spirit. The sad news is that many will not come to the Lord Jesus to fill their spiritual poverty and will miss eternal life in God's kingdom.

The Good News is that God loves you and he is beckoning on you to recognize your spiritual emptiness and follow Jesus. Jesus has the power to save you from sin, sickness and Satan and make you fit for God's kingdom. He is waiting for you now.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank you for your love and call to follow you. I recognize my spiritual poverty and the need to follow Christ. Have mercy upon me Lord Jesus. Save me, sanctify me, baptize me in the Holy Spirit and grant me the grace to walk daily with you in Jesus' Name. Amen

TRACT 140: A FRUITFUL CHRISTIAN? "Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit" John 15:2 . Show me a person having the three spiritual experiences (salvation, sanctification and Holy Spirit Baptism) and bearing the nine fruit of the spirit daily; and I will tell you the person is a Christian. The fruit of the Spirit are attributes of a holiness lifestyle which the Holy Spirit develops in a Christian " But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law" Galatians 5:22-23. LOVE : Loves his neighbour as he loves himself; and loves God with the whole of his body, soul and spirit. JOY : Rejoices in hope of Eternal Life more than pleasures and challenges of life. Peace : Always at peace with all men. Longsuffering: Slow to anger and patience with people. Gentlen...

TRACT 130: AMONG THE SONS & DAUGHTERS OF GOD? ''For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God'' Romans 8:14. Does God really have sons and daughters on earth? To an unbeliever or non follower of Christ, God neither has any son nor daughter. Truly speaking, God has no wife but has many sons and daughters on earth who are born of the Spirit through the Saviour - Jesus Christ; who always make God proud in the open and secret closets. The sons and daughters of God on earth have the three Christian experiences (salvation, sanctification and Holy Spirit baptism). They are born again (born of the water and of the Spirit). They live everyday of their lives with eternity (heaven) in view. The sons and daughters of God lack non of the nine fruit of the Spirit ''But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance..'' Galatians 5:22-23. They never allow any offence of...

You are one of the luckiest soul who made it into the New Year. Sound health, holiness, happiness, peace, progress, prosperity and protection for you in Jesus' Name. Amen.

A new year is like a brand new white booklet gifted to every one to write or re-write beautiful story about one's life for others to see. The New Year offers sinners another opportunity to forsake sin and embrace riighteous life in Christ. It also offers genuine Christians another closer walk with Christ and service to humanity. To commence the New Year in sin make one an ingrate to Almighty God; and starting the new year in doubt concerning the authencity of Jesus as Savour is telling Go...
