Stand up for Jesus!!!
Joshua 24:15
And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve,
Whether the gods which your father’s served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell
But as for me and my house. We will serve the Lord

It is important for every leader to know those who are for him and those who are against him. In the passage above, Joshua asked the people of Israel to make a choice.

Will they stand up for Jesus by being on the Lord’s side? Or they would choose the deities of the Amorites?

The same question is thrown at every human. Will you accept the gift of salvation and be on the Lord’s side ( stand up for Jesus)? The choice is yours

Choose the option that takes care of you when life is over.

Scripture says in Revelations 21:1
that

Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away…

Meaning this heaven and the earth we live on today will be destroyed some day. Where will you spend eternity?

Matthew 5:11-12
Blessed are thee, when men shall revile you ….. Rejoice and be glad, for great is your reward in heaven ……

This verse from the new testament says we should not get worried when we are ridiculed for Christ’s sake.

We should just keep serving God faithfully. We will be rewarded greatly

God be with you

Suggestions for success
1. Pray for grace and strength to obey God’s commands always.

Song for meditation

Let this hymn be your confession and prayer

Stand up, stand up for Jesus
Ye soldiers of the cross
Lift high His royal banner
It must not suffer loss
From victory unto victory
His army shall He lead
Till every foe He’s vanquished
And Christ is Lord indeed

Abridged version in french

Reveillez, reveillez les chrietiens
Servir notre Dieu toujour
Il nous donne la victoire tous le temps
Servir notre Dieu toujours
Amen
