The Warning

As Christians we have a very important message to a dying world and that is, the creator of the universe loved us so much that he was willing to die for us. This is a powerful message considering the world that we live in is a very selfish place.

 To carry out the ultimate act of love, is always to give your life so that someone else can live:

 Joh_15:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

 We serve a God who is love and because he IS love he proved it by doing the GREATER LOVE. Many people do not understand God in this context and this is why they believe the lies the enemy feeds them, causing them to go after other religions or no religion at all.

 God wants the world to understand this message, because as well as him being a God of love, he is also an all-consuming fire and as such by his very nature, he has to judge sin.

 Heb 12:25   See to it that you do not ignore the one who is speaking. For if the hearers did not escape when they ignored the one who warned them on earth, how much less will we escape  if we turn away from the one who is from heaven!

Heb 12:26  At that time his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, “Once more I will shake not only the earth but also heaven.”

Heb 12:27  The expression “once more”  signifies the removal of what can be shaken, that is, what he has made, so that what cannot be shaken may remain.

Heb 12:28  Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful and worship God in reverence and fear in a way that pleases him.

Heb 12:29  For “our God is an all-consuming fire.”

 

Eternity is a very long time and because God is a God of love, the people he wants to be there, are the people who want to be there. They demonstrate that through their lifetime choices. Love is never forced.

 So the warning we demonstrate as Christians is that, there is a heavenly kingdom to gain and an eternity separate from God, in a hellish kingdom to escape from. These to kingdoms are separated by sin, but Jesus is the bridge.

 This is why our lifestyles and how we live is so important, people are watching us and so it is not so such what we say, it is what we do that effects people.

 There is a saying “Be a witness and speak if necessary” This speaks volumes

 This world is trying it’s utmost to try and silence the name of Jesus or Yeshua if you feel more comfortable with he Hebrew name. However, he cannot be silenced, because he has been give a name that is far above every name:

 Php 2:7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:

Php 2:8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

Php 2:9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:

Php 2:10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;

Php 2:11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father

 
The name of Jesus is attacked more than any other name in history across the world, but this had to happen, to separate those who love God from those who don’t.

 God has always by his grace, given warnings before his judgments, to give people a chance to repent, but ultimately he has always and will always judge sin.

 Our message is not a very popular one by this worlds standards, because Satan has made sin look very appealing, so much so that we live in a world where right is seen as being wrong and wrong is seen as being right:

 Rom 1:26  For this reason, God delivered them to degrading passions as their females exchanged their natural sexual function for one that is unnatural.

Rom 1:27  In the same way, their males also abandoned their natural sexual function toward females and burned with lust toward one another. Males committed indecent acts with males, and received within themselves the appropriate penalty for their perversion.  

 Rom 1:28  Furthermore, because they did not think it worthwhile to keep knowing God fully, God delivered them to degraded minds to perform acts that should not be done.

Rom 1:29  They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed, and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, quarreling, deceit, and viciousness. They are gossips,

Rom 1:30  slanderers, God-haters, haughty, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to their parents,

Rom 1:31  foolish, faithless, heartless, and ruthless.

 Rom 1:32  Although they know God’s just requirement—that those who practice such things deserve to die—they not only do these things but even applaud others who practice them.

 
So where is your witness today? Are you just a Sunday Christian or could someone look at your life style as a fly on the wall and say, “There goes someone who loves God”

 
Parallel Business Principals  

Because of all the misinformation out, whether we understand it or not, until people are educated with the right information about Network Marketing, our message of our opportunity has the potential to be received negatively in a society that has been conditioned to think, the only way to make money is to trade their time for someone els’s money. Our message is one of hope through leverage, being able to do more with less time. People find it hard to understand this concept.

Unfortunately many people in the past have used this concept to promote Get Rich Quick schemes, however the truth is this; if you work hard and smart, put the effort in, learn the skills you need to learn, then you can build a business where you can do more with less time.

However the warning is this, whether it is Reliv or any other business you do, if you do not do the work, learn the skills and allow yourself to be mentored correctly, then you will fail, Christian or None Christian. There is no such thing as maximum return for minimum effort.
