Now it came to pass, when David was dwelling in his house that David said to Nathan the prophet, “See now, I dwell in a house of cedar, but the ark of the covenant of the LORD is under tent curtains.

I Chronicles 17:1

Many people need to learn to get a feeling from God then they will know what it is He wants them to do; when they do so they will surely be greatly blessed. Those who are selfish will not make many achievements in life. Yet, those who receive the revelation of the divine plan and then manage to fulfil it will undoubtedly please The Lord and they will definitely thrive in this life. Besides, they will get their eternal reward in the coming ages. Do not forget that the gifts of our Father are irrevocable.

How is your family going? If Christ came down right now would your family be ready to go up with Him or would it stay here? Jesus told us the picture story of the ten virgins for us to get ready for the greatest event ahead the world will ever know of. Those who are not ready will not go up with Him and they will get lost forever. That is the reason you better look after your dearest ones so they will not be disqualified for the eternal life.

On several occasions The Lord addresses some people particularly to say they must invest in His work – and some of them even get to the point of answering favourably to that command – yet, later on, it turns out that they barely remember the calling of God to sponsor His message in a foreign country, or to build up a temple somewhere, and so on. Those who pay heed to Him will not lose their divine reward. Yet, in the eternity, many will be sorry for not having done what they had been told.

It seems that the teachings of The Lord regarding giving offerings are not that popular. Some people even attend services only once the offerings have been placed on the altar just to make sure they will not have to plant their financial seed. Yet, what they are missing here is that the poverty demon has already caught them in his clutches. God gives the seed to those He calls to be the sower, but many prefer to eat it rather than to plant it.

As David realized that he was already living in the cedar house he felt deeply sorry for not doing more for the work of The Lord. Well, the right thing is to pay heed to what God tells you to do. That is why you must never put off your decision of being obedient to The Most High because He makes those people He loves be with a heavy heart, so that they will wake up and fulfil His will.

There is nothing more important than the evangelization of the lost – that is the work that mostly touches our Father’s heart. The main reason why The Most High sent His only Son was for all of us to be saved. Do you really think that He, having paid such high a price, wouldn’t do anything else for everybody to get to know The Awesome Gift they have received? Trust me, He will do whatever it takes for all the lost to get to the full knowledge of The Truth.

Therefore, do not waste your precious time with nonsense. Anything you may do outside of the the will of God is something absolutely pointless to Him; it is just like barking up the wrong tree, but those who evangelize are certainly accomplishing their mission in the world to perfection.

In Christ, with love,
