Open Heaven 16 September 2022 MESSAGE:
There are several benefits to gain from telling people about Jesus Christ. Maybe if you knew the benefits, you would preach the gospel some more. Today, we will discuss just one of the numerous benefits of sharing the gospel of Christ and this is found in our Bible reading for today;
“Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one; and every man shall receive his own reward according to his labour.” 1 Corinthians 3:8

You will become a star when you preach Christ’s gospel. For example, the more people you bring to the Almighty God, the more children in the Lord you will have. I am yet to see someone who was not grateful to the person who preached to and led him or her from the path to hell. Even today, I bless God for the man who brought me to The Redeemed Christian Church of God where I met Christ. If not for him who obeyed the instruction of the Lord to witness, only God knows how miserable my life would have become now.
I say it boldly anywhere that I am the richest man in the world. I am the richest man in the world because there is no city in the whole world where I don’t have a house. You ask me how? Well, there is no city I get to today where I would need accommodation and not get a house to sleep in because I have children in the Lord who would be struggling to host me in their homes the moment they hear that I am around. It is not because I have any money to give them, but simply that I led them to Christ and helped them grow closer to Him. The more people you lead to Christ, the more celebrated you would be; you would indeed become a star.
Winning souls is the Father’s business. If you go about the Father’s business and do your part to make it prosper, He would say thank you to you by making you a star. You would drive cars you didn’t buy, live in houses you didn’t build and become so respected that when you speak people would pay attention.
Open Heaven 16 September 2022 ACTION POINT:
Commit to spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ.

1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
