PROMOTE THE CAUSE OF JESUS CHRIST PASSIONATELY

If you are not practicing servant heart characteristics , it is most probable that you are becoming self-serving, and that is a very sad state to find oneself in . The world is full of self-serving individuals who outrageously promote self-interest at the expense of many others ' basic needs, this behaviour is pandemic and really the only way out is through the cross of Jesus and a sense of deep repentence.Promote the cause of Jesus Christ and you will be less tempted to promote YOURSELF! Here are some thoughts to ponder: 1.With a cause , Samson won many battles ; without one (other than himself), he couldn't beat the temptation posed by Delilah. 2. With a God-given cause, Saul conquered the kingdom; without one , he could not conquer his own jealousy. 3. With God's cause, David conquered Goliath; wothout one, he could not conquer his own lust. 4. With a cause sent by God , Elijah prayed down fire from heaven and beat 450 prophets of Baal; without one, he ran in fear from a solitary woman called Jezebel. 5. With a 'JESUS - CENTRED' cause , Simon Peter preached at Pentecost and 3.000 people were saved; without one and thinking only of himself he denied that he even belonged to the crowd that followed Jesus. Today whose cause are you serving ? Are you only interested in "self -preservation" or the eternal , lifegiving cause of JESUS CHRIST? Read Matthew 7:15-20
