A SHOCKING REPORT.

Centre verse:1 Samuel 3:13" For I have told him that I will judge his house for ever for the iniquity which he knoweth;because his sons made themselves vile,and he restrained them not".  TEXT 1 Samuel 3:11-21. If the sanctuary at Shiloh was ancient Israel's most honoured treasure, Eli the chief priest did not show his honour in the way he treated his sons matter for the house of the Lord God. However, the Lord found no error with Eli for giving duties in the temple to his sons,Hophni and Phinehas,He upbraided their father for not stopping them upon discovering their vileness. Eli failed in parental guidance and discipline. It pains to observe that those who are suppose to be a models of good conduct in the house of God are the root of defilement. This obviously was a worse presentation of dishonest for righteousness. God had to intervene. The Bible says,He sent someone to warn the priest of the impending justice that would bring an end to Eli's priesthood and death, in one day,of Hophni and Phinehas. In the same way,family would also no longer be in the lineage of priests. Therefore, there was the prediction that Samuel would replace Eli. There are three central points to note here.  First, it is not sufficient to pretend to honour God on the basis of merely being a worker in the house of God. Second, God does not dishonoring of His redeemed Church lightly because "He has purchased it with his own blood". Finally, family and church members must be watchful to urgently discipline offended brethren in order not to bring down the entire Church when God move to judge sin;for" if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged "(1corintians 11:31). God will punish sinners on earth and in eternity. Surrender your life to Jesus through repentance now,forsake all your sins,receive Jesus as Lord and Saviour and live a holy lifestyle to escape God's anger. REMEMBER THIS: You must move from sin to avoid God's move against sin.

INSTANT JUDGMENT.

Centre verse (Numbers 12:9,10,)"And the anger of the LORD was kindled against them;and he departed. And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle:and, behold, Miriam became leprous,white as snow:and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and behold she was leprous " TEXT: NUMBERS 12:9-16. Although a small member of the body,the tongue is known to be able of doing mighty things. The Bible declares that,the tongue is a fire,a world of iniquity; so the tongue among out members, that it defileth the whole body,and setteth on fire the course of nature... (James 3:6). Unguarded use of the tongue is wicked and it brings judgment. In the time of jealous rage,Miriam and Aaron talked against Moses, their brother, in the attitude that was bad:hath the Lord indeed spoken only by Moses? Moses was explained in the Bible as"very meek" above all the men upon the face of the earth,"he was not in competition for leadership with anybody. This was so an irresponsible difficult task to his authority. "And the anger of the Lord was Kindle against them;and he departed." God noticed what they said and the consequence of their action was instant judgment as Miriam became leprous. The judgment was pronounce to everyone because their unbridled tongue was heard by all. Sin committed publicly should be treated publicly for all to fear and learn, even if the punishment is to be only rebuke. How we need to watch our statements and measure our words before we speak. Words can be compared as bullets fired out of the gun's barrel that cannot be called back. Whatever our situations in life are,we must be aware of the punishments of our spoken words, more especially our leaders in the homes, in the church or in the nation. REMEMBER THIS: The tongue is frightful; the wise beings it under Christ's control. Further Bible verses: Deuteronomy 24:9;2Kings 5:27.

THE BEST COMPANION.

Centre verse (John 15:13)"Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. "TEXT: JOHN 15:1-14.David and Jonathan had an outstanding friendship. Jonathan joyfully offered his crown to his friend, though he qualified in every aspect to wear it,the rightful heir to the throne after his father Saul. The uncommon relationship and love is admirable, still cannot be compared with that of the Saviour of mankind Jesus Christ, who poured out His precious blood, not for His friends alone, but for His enemies. This thing occurred in the agony of death and he prayed for His Father to pardon His executors because of their ignorance. The writer of psalms encourages you to love the son as a gift of friendship with Him. When someone accepts the love of Christ, it will bring the person into a life-long and eternal agreement and friendship with Him hereafter. Obedience and total surrendered to Him is the only signs that you are His friend, remembering that ignoring His friendship will amount to divine indignation. REMEMBER THIS: JESUS is the true companion you need in life. Further Bible verses: Roman 5:7,8;John 3:16.

A PREDOMINANT SACRIFICE.

Centre verse(Hebrews 13:12)"Wherefore Jesus also,that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate. Let us go therefore unto him without the camp bearing his reproach " TEXT: HEBREWS 13:8-15. A man was was conscripted as a soldier into the civil war in England to be involved in a prolonged military assault of Leicester. When he wanted to move ahead with his company, another asked to move in his place. According to the man,"He replaced me coming to the siege." As he was standing at the back of the guard, he was shot in the head by a species of firearm bullet. He gave up the ghost. That sacrifice saved the man from premature death for greater work for the kingdom of God. The same incident of exchange position that led to Christ death on the Cross of Calvary is seen in our today's text. Christ Jesus exchanged positions with us to bear the consequences of our sins and satisfy the judgment of God for our freedom. The Cross is therefore the single place God has selected to reach with the penitent sinners. The altar in our text represents the Cross where the sacrifice occurred. The altar is a place of sacrifice and communion with God. To scorn the only gathering place between God and man is to remove oneself from the only way of reconciliation. That would be equivalent to lose of everlasting life through Christ. Calvary is fulfilled once-for-all sacrifice that everyone has to embraced so as to reconciled to our creator. The Cross is the very center of our belief; It is the sum and substance of the Christian faith. Christ Jesus went to the Cross to bring about reconciliation for the fallen of man. Without this predominant sacrifice, man would have been eternally separated from God. The Cross of Christ is the permanent symbol and structure of Man's justification and redemption. REMEMBER THIS: The Cross crosses out condemnation. Further Bible verses: John 19:17,18; 1Peter 4:14.

STEADFAST DESIRE.

Centre verse (Proverbs 13:19)"The desire accomplished is sweat to the soul:but it is abomination to fools to depart from evil." TEXT: PROVERBS 13:5-19. Some organizations have book of record which is stuffed with names of people of fame. But some men and women happened to be there because of their inherent desire. Beginning from childhood we start showing different desires,and as we grow up,our desire will continuously be in attachment. Our ardent desire is what has taken us to the place we are today. Men and women are the products of their desires,a right minded person often wants to progress and get to the peak of his profession in life. When impediments and challenges come,some surrender too soon,while others have their attention diverted and lose concentration. Struggle to be consumed to get to heaven,knowing fully well that experiences of salvation and holiness of life are unavoidable virtues for any person desiring to make heaven. Whatsoever your accomplishments are here on earth,at an appointed time,you will go to the great beyond. The longest man that ever lived on this planet,Methuselah, lived for 969 years, but in the end  he died and welcomed his everlasting fate. God interprets the rich man in Luke12:20 as a fool because all his trust was in things of this world. Be wise and make the right decision today. REMEMBER THIS:Do not trust in the things of the world. Further Bible verse: Psalm 27:4.

YOUR EXISTENCE IN YOUR HAND.

Centre verse (Judges 12:3)"And when I saw that ye delivered me not,I put my life in my hands, and passed over against the children of Ammon,and the LORD delivered them into my hand:wherefore then are ye come up unto me this day, to fight against me?" TEXT: JUDGES 12:1-6.Life is full of difficult tasks. A times,this difficult tasks could be overwhelming and apparently insurmountable. As a result of that, some people will throw their hands into the sky in total surrender not having a drop of sweat. But those who capture the bull by the horn encounter their difficult tasks, identifying all obstacles as stepping stones until they sing the overcoming song. Jephthah was confronted with immediate danger of evaluation of his people by the Ephraimites who determined to mobilize his men for war. He has looked up to the people of Ephraim for help during the time Ammonites came against them,the help he never obtained. Ephraim was exactly searching for an excuse to spike Gilead perhaps underestimating their military capability. Even those Ephraimites who escaped were equally butchered as they failed the pronunciation test of Shibboleth. There are pronounced lessons to learn from the arrangement and leadership of Jephthah. It was inspiring. He mobilized, inspired and instilled confidence into his people to handle the challenge of the children of Ephraim. And at last,they conquered. Today, Jephthah had a legacy as the man who said,as regards his vow to God:"I have opened my mouth unto the LORD, and I cannot go back "(Judges 11:35). Victory is waiting for all who had made up their mind,like Jephthah, in fighting the battles of life. Christ Jesus did not promise anyone an easy life. In the world He say,Christian shall have tribulations that He will support the courageous to be victorious and prevail. REMEMBER THIS: Courage is all about taking bull by the horn. Further Bible verses:1 Samuel 19:5;Job 13:14.

THE HIGHEST GATE.

Centre verse (Psalm 118:20)"This gate of the LORD, into which the righteous shall enter." TEXT: PSALM 118:19-29. A gate has a function of either admits or excludes passage of people. The description of gates to a public place such as stadium often have multitude, some going, some coming,others parading around. In the scripture according to saint Luke (Luke 11:52),the gate of the kingdom of God is said to harbour some who neither move in or allow those who are willing to enter in. They pretend to possess knowledge and wisdom still they are disqualified from the kingdom of God because of their iniquity. The gate of God's kingdom is a checking spot where unwanted persons are divided from those who desire to move in,and will not permit a person who commits adultery, formication, lasciviousness, idolatry and every other works of the flesh as recorded in the epistle of Paul to Galatians 5:19-21. "Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators,nor idolaters,nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers,nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God" (1Corintians 6:9,10). Every person who checks him or herself shall not be embarrassed at the ultimate gate to the kingdom of God. REMEMBER THIS: Check yourself and avoid those sins. Further Bible verses: Luke 12:27;Matthew 6:28-32.

NUMBER YOUR DAYS.

Centre verse (Ecclesiastes 11:8)"But if a man lives many years, and rejoice in them all:yet let him remember the days of darkness; for they shall be many. All that cometh is vanity. "TEXT: ECCLESIASTES 11:7-10.They say,time is money, and it is difficult to argue. Alderman Lesley writes in his book,the book of times about the marking away of seconds, minutes, hours, days, years, decades and centuries. The book centers on how to spend, saves invests on ones time. Alderman's pick on this as an interesting in the life of humanity. He reasons that being a bit mindful with one's time and work including researching is good for you and your productivity. If you are engage in that, you are going to be more effective and less bored than your colleagues. Spending time with Christ Jesus, the spring of life, may lead you to riches and righteousness. My beloved, struggle to spend more time working for God and learning and less time on social activities. In the same way, if you want to live a successful happy life,think more about time,while numbering your days. However, exercise regularly because it is possible to develop discipline through exercise, which assists in your destiny. Anytime you are in confusion about spending your time,seek counsel from more wiser and more experienced persons. REMEMBER THIS: Time is marking away so fast. Further Bible verse: Proverbs 21:18.

AVOID THE QUALITY OF BEING WORLDLY.

Centre verse (Titus 2:12)"Teaching us that denying ungodliness and worldly lusts,we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present world."TEXT: TITUS: 2:11-15. The quality of being worldly " the list of the flesh(having passion for pleasurable satisfaction), the lust of the eyes(having unreasonable request for the beautiful things of life),and the pride of life." The quality of being worldly is preoccupation with ease and an abundance of wealth. It promotes indulgence to the point of idolatry. It includes living a life devoted to pleasure and spending too much money on oneself. Do not pamper worldliness, pride and selfishness; they beget feeling of displeasure against others. Rather, run away from worldly practices. Always delight yourself in things that will lead you to eternal rest with God in heaven. REMEMBER THIS: Do not struggle to be like people of the world. Further Bible verses: 1John 2:15;1 Peter 4:1,2.

GOD RECOGNIZES YOUR EXPRESSION.

Centre verse (Psalm 55:17)"Evening, and morning, and at noon,will I pray,and cry aloud:and he shall hear my voice." TEXT: PSALM 55:16-23. If you want to excel in life, the certain way is to spend time with the Lord in prayer. In the same way,success in life simply comes to people who spend time on their knees seeking the divine intervention of God. Contrary to this, it is difficult to achieve your life priorities. If you must accomplish your goals, then you must pray. You surely need progress in one area of your life or the other. To attain this, you must not neglect your quite time first thing every early everyday. This is a quite period during which you interact with the Lord in prayer,you study and meditate on the Bible. Any time you pray,God recognizes your expression and is ready to answer you. As you pray for progress,remember that the prayer of a sinner is an abomination to Him. Therefore you must make your ways right with God today. REMEMBER THIS: Success in life of a Christian is not a game of chance. Further Bible verse Psalm 5:3.

LETTER OF ELIJAH.

Centre verse (2 chronicles 21:12)"And they came a writing to him from Elijah the prophet, saying,thus saith the LORD God of David thy father, Because thou hast not walked in the way of Jehoshaphat thy father, nor in the way of ASA king of Judah."TEXT: 2Chronicles 21:5-17. Elijah the prophet who commanded fire and rain down at his prayers inscribed a letter to a bad and wicked king Jehoram the son of good king Jehoshaphat. The letter was that of judgement and death because he renounced God and directed the chosen people of Judah and Jerusalem into wickedness and sin. You have to realise that if you abandon God, evil will pursue you. King Jehoram had a holy prophet of God from whom he could seek counsel but he decided to be an enemy of God to rebel against the God of his father, Jehoshaphat. Many people reject the holy word of God. They prefer carefree lives,ungodliness, immoral relationships, robbery lifestyle, occultism and idolatry. The reality of life is that such people are full of tales of sorrows and woes. God is warning us today through prophet Elijah that if we follow the footpath of Jehoram, our sorrow will be terrible. If you are still a transgressor,God is waiting for your prayer of repentance. REMEBER THIS: You must know the true God,your Maker. Further Bible verse: Deuteronomy 31:16.

DELAY IS DANGEROUS.

Centre verse (Genesis 19:16)"And while he lingered, the men laid upon his hand and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters; the Lord being merciful unto him,and they brought him forth,and set him without the city." TEXT: GENESIS 19:12-17. The story of Lot might not have been a strange story to you. Lot was ordered by God as a message came to him from God to escape because judgment was coming and the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah would be wasted. But he nearly passed away in the city when he was unwilling to depart. Out of the tender mercy of God,the angels rushed Lot,informing him to get up and hurry out with his wife and two daughters, so that they would not be consumed in the iniquity of the city. He responded and was saved by the protective hand of God. You must not keep putting off your repentance. Sin is dangerous. If you are still lingering like Lot,you may not have the similar grace he had. Therefore, repent and come to Jesus Christ the Saviour of mankind today,so that He will pardon you all your iniquities and offer you eternal life. Hell is real and it wasn't made for man but for Satan and his angels. But remember, because of unrepentant heart of man,it has made him to take a place of eternal torment and anguish. REMEMBER THIS: Don't put off your repentance. Further Bible verse: Psalm 34:22.

EXEMPLAR SWAP ON THE HOUSETOP.

Centre verse (Acts 10:19,20)" While Peter thought on the vision, the spirit said unto him,Behold three men seek thee. Arise therefore, and get thee down,and go with them,doubting nothing: for I have sent them. TEXT: ACTS 10:9-20. The minister of a church concluded that God was directing the church to a new vision. After meeting by the elders of the church one day, he made known the new vision with as much conviction and passion as he could exhibit. After the presentation, the chairperson to the elders in the church called for a vote. The 14 elders voted against the new vision, with only the minister voting for it. " Well pastor, seems that you will have to think again your vision," the elders chairperson said. He then requested, " will you like to end the meeting in prayer? The minister of God lifted his hands to heaven and offered prayer unto God," Lord please reveal to these person that it is not my vision but it's your vision! At that instant, the clouds darkened and a lightening spark shot out of the window, separating the table in two. The elders were all knocked out of their seats while the pastor was still standing unmovable. As the elders dusted themselves, the chairperson said, " well,that's fourteen votes to two now." Following our text,Peter had a vision of different kinds of animals dropped down from heaven for his menu. He rejected to eat despite sequential instruction to do so until it was taken to heaven. He was instructed by God not to regard what God has purified as unclean,He warned him to go and preach to Cornelius,the Gentile. Peter had at an earlier time restricted himself to the Israeli religion because of racial prejudice. But God used the vision to show him that the gospel and its advantages are for men. Visions from God will often push you beyond your natural restrictions and boundary, energised you to do what you could not ordinarily do with outstanding results. Vision cannot be a reality without an action; so act on your God given vision today. REMEMBER THIS: A vision without an objective is but a dream; an objective without a vision is tedious. Further Bible verses: Acts 11:12,15:7.

PREDETERMINED YOUR GOALS.

Centre verse (1 Kings 20:40)"And as thy servant was busy here and there, he was gone. And the king of Israel said unto him,so shall thy judgment be; thyself hast decided it." TEXT: 1 KINGS 20:39-43. Many people have no goals in life. There was a person who worked so hard to produced a specialization for himself. He did his work attentively and with a high sense of honesty. Because of that, he became the most trustworthy person and faithful selection as personal assistant to Dean of the Faculty of Engineering of a well known institution. Unfortunately, he failed to predetermined his goals in school right. Consequently, his performance was very poor in his degree examination because he spent so much time attaining to the Dean of the faculty and gave little time to his studies. Set your goals right in everything you do. It is an elegant thing to be honest and responsible at home and in your place of work. However, if care is not taken,the tendency to be too busy unnecessary at the expense of your career life, could cause you failure. Always be sure that your activities like visitation, conversation with colleagues and interactions with your mates are beneficial to your goals,if you want to accomplish any goal. REMEMBER THIS: Do not be busy doing nothing. Further Bible verses: Psalm 89:47,90:4.

AN ACHIEVEMENT.

Centre verse (Proverbs 13:19)" The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul: but it is abomination to fools to depart from evil." TEXT: PROVERBS 13:18-25. In life there is nothing as so essential as seeking to become bigger or achieve great things. A few years back,a reporter interviewed somebody and asked the person to indicate the greatest moment of his life. His supporters clearly reminded him of his elegant voice. During a certain festival period he appeared beneath a high altitude and sang a song of adoration to the crowd in their thousands which included cabinet members, supreme court Justices and most members of Congress. The greatest moment in your life could be the day you come back home and reckon again an achievement story to your friends, parents and even your leaders. A man once said, you have only one life to live here on this planet earth. That is the only reason it pleases the heart no matter what comes after it,to try to achieve things in this life that makes God happy, and not merely to have a soft and pleasant time. Remember that what you achieve in your career, academics, ministry and other areas of your life determines on your relationship with Christ Jesus. REMEMBER THIS: Ministry that cost nothing, achieves nothing. Further Bible verse: Proverbs 13:12.

WORSHIP AMONGST DIFFICULTY.

Centre verse (2 Samuel 22:50)" Therefore I will give thanks unto thee,O LORD, among the heathen,and I will sing praises unto thy name." TEXT: 2 SAMUEL 22:40-51. A good singer observed that she had cancer of the tongue and that there was need for surgery. In the hospital when everything was ready for the doctor to carry out the operation, the woman said to the medical doctor, " Are you telling me that I will never sing again? The surgeon only shook her head and said,no! The patient then requested if she could sit up for a moment. " I have had many excellent moment singing praises and worship of God," she mentioned " And this time you are telling me I can never offer such service to the God of heaven: I have a single song that will be my last. It will equally be of gratitude and worship to God our king. Do you find time to sing worship songs to the Lord, or you lavish all your time to enjoy life or to dwell upon moodily over your challenges and trials. Paul and Silas sang spiritual songs when they were in prison. The psalmist and the woman also in our reference of study offered gratitude and worship to God,despite their situations. REMEMBER THIS: The Lord is happy with people who sing praises and worship to Him. Further Bible verse: Hebrews 13:15.

TRACK TO PROSPERITY.

Centre verse (Deuteronomy 29:9)" Keep therefore the words of this covenant, and do them,that ye may prosper in all that you do." TEXT: DEUTERONOMY 29:9-18. An American business giant, computer programmer, William Bill Gates who originally established his name as the Co-founder of Microsoft, the world's largest PC software company with Allen Paul. He was blessed beyond measure that he became the wealthiest in the world from 1995-2014. He has been following the generous strive of donating Huge amount of money to different charitable Organizations,according to the revelation of God to him. No wonder he was blessed in that extent by God. The undeniable direction to prosperity is obedience to God's commandment. The promise of His prosperity is anchored on obedience to his word. Giving to God must be out of willingness and with a perfect heart. For God to accept your gift and prosper you,first surrender your life to Him. Be a cheerful giver. REMEMBER THIS: God prosper those who offer willingly to Him. Further Bible verse: 1 Chronicles 29:6-9.

CONCISENESS OF LIFE.

Centre verse (Psalm 09:6,9)" In the morning it flourisheth,and growth up,in the evening it is cut down,and withereth away. For all our days are passed away in wrath: we spend our years as a tales that is told" TEXT: PSALM 90:1-9. He has a busy work place activities as his office. He was an assistant Director and Chairman of the company's Board. Everyone was looking for him. Any person who didn't had the opportunity to meet with him in the office will locate him at home. Almost in his peak,he was resourceful and full of life. One day,he had took some files home to work on. But immediately he moved out of his car,he suddenly collapsed heavily. He was carried to the hospital only to be confirmed death soon after with so much work left undone and many premises still to be accomplished. Regrettably, he was dead! " man that is born of a woman is of a few days, and full of trouble." Our text under study is Moses prayer,the servant of God. It was perhaps documented during the ugly wilderness experience of the children of Israel. Many of the people had sinned against God by murmuring. They didn't know that death was close and thereby perished without repentance. Moses as his manner of life,pleaded with God for mercy and to restore His favour,acknowledging how brief life is,just like a story that is told! Today, many people are living life as if they have spare of it somewhere. While God is everlasting, man's life is as short as a watch in the night. An analyst put it this way:" your life is like a blade of grass that sprouts, fades, withers and dies in a day." Our life does not belong to us; we must so use it only the proper way the owner has stated. Do you like your life to suit yourself? The Owner can call it back today. Be wise,remember thy creator now that there is breath in you. Tomorrow may not be there for any body. REMEMBER THIS: Spare a thought today about your life. Further Bible verse: Psalm 92:7, Job 14:2.

YOU MUST NOT TEMPT THE LORD.

Centre verse (Exodus 17:3)" And the people thirsted there for water;and the people murmured against Moses,and said,Wherefore is this that thou brought us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our cattle with thirst?" TEXT: EXODUS 17:1-7. There is temporal or spiritual divine origin of every leadership. The Bible categorically instructs that we should respect people in authority. But in our considering text,the children of Israel condemned Moses, their leader,because of scarcity of water to drink. They raised a damning charge against him,that he purposely brought them out of Egypt to kill them,their children and their cattle in the wilderness. Apart from that, they were actually ready to stone him. However, Moses reminded them against incurring the wrath of God. He equally interceded fervently to God for the people and God honoured his prayers. Today,many without fear say all sort of things against leaders when they have some certain challenges. Rather than putting their faith in God,they become impatient and shift their hostilities to their leaders-- holding them responsible for their unfortunate situation. Such behaviour of unbelief and rebellion that are supposed to be the character of the people of the world are seen in the church today. The scripture warns that such behaviour will amount to tempting God. The Almighty God satisfied them. In so doing, He told Moses to go to the mount with some elders of Israel so that they will experience the miracle and know that it was He who provided the water not Moses. He equally wanted to show to them that He was still under control as far as the control of their affairs was concerned. Leaders are ordained by God. They are therefore to be honoured. Rather than criticize leaders, let us learn the habit of interceding for them. REMEMBER THIS: Impulsive criticism against God ordained leaders is lack of reverence against Him. Further Bible verse: Exodus 16:2.

FRET NOT.

Centre verse (Genesis 15:1)" After this things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision,saying, fear not,Abram:I am thy shield and thy exceeding great reward." TEXT: GENESIS 15:1-5. To be frightened is the greatest difficulty of a largest group of people. The fear of failure in life is common among people. There are so many fear of man like fear of ridicule, rejection or being regarded as odd by fellows, fear of future: people worry over their sustenance, for reason best known to them. No matter how your background may be,you have nothing to fear as long as God is still on the throne. Regardless how challenging your work may be,you can prosper with Jehovah Jireh by your side. Let your confidence be in the Almighty God and you must not be disappointed. Fear not because God can make you accomplish great thing for Him. Are you frightened to preach Christ Jesus at evangelism? Are you frightened to be known with Christ among unbelievers? With the support of the Holy Ghost, you can do great exploit for the kingdom of God. REMEMBER THIS: Fear should not prevent you from sharing your faith to others. Further Bible verse: John 16:33.
