GIVE YOUR BEST TO THE MASTER

My fellow Christian Youth and Friends

The noblest sacrifice we can show to the world is by giving. The Creator of this world manifested His divine concern by giving. Before He created man, the masterpiece of His creation; He had created all the things he needs. A perfect environment was made for him. There was a perfect climate. There was perfect beauty where flowers never fade. Man was in perfect physical state. Hunger and sickness were unknown to him. He was given a perfect mind and a perfect heart to appreciate all what God had given him.

When man fell into sin he was promised a Redeemer. Though the earth was cursed because of sin, man was promised a heavenly city for his habitation. Through Christ's atonement salvation was offered to all. Man can still live a life that is pleasing in the sight of God. He can live righteously and godly in this present world.

My fellow Christian, what will you give in return to the Master who has given all for you? How could you reciprocate His love? What will you give to the Master! You are in the prime age of your life. You have strong bodies keen minds diverse abilities & spiritual gifts from God. Consecrate all these things to Him. He needs you. He needs me. He needs us all! He has no hands but our hands. He has no feet but our feet. He has no mouth but our mouth. Do not wait to be older to serve the Lord! “Remember your creator in the days of your youth”, said the wise Solomon. Enter into God’s labor today!

God has supreme concern for the salvation of the sinners. Heed to the challenge of the winning souls for Christ! The greatest and most precious labor we can have is to take part in the salvation of men; God is calling you to preach the gospel. He is calling some to be pastors. You can be deacons and deaconesses. Some can be teachers. All can visit homes for Jesus. Everybody can witness; in the streets, in the schools, in public places and so forth.

Now, let us prepare ourselves in giving our best to the Master. Paul said to young Timothy, “Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needed not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of Truth”, Let us all study to be equipped with the knowledge of the Word of God. We need the power of the Holy Spirit in this noble task. Knowledge, & power saturated with prayer spell sure victory.

My fellow Christian, give your best to the Master! This is what God requires of you, no more and no less. He had given His best. He is giving His best and now He will give His best for you and me. We are the object of His love! After giving His only begotten Son to die on the Cross of Calvary, heaven is open for all the over comers, to those who have given their best to the Master. The day will come when time shall be no more. I am giving my last word to you, “Give your best to the Master”!

I, thank you.
