Acts 4:12

By creating man and woman, GOD gave them free will. Salvation is accessible to everybody, but everyone is free to grab it or not.

Everything we do is written somewhere; the day of our death, we are rewarded for what we have been doing, whether it was good or evil.

In Revelation 20:12, it is written that Angels write in the book everything we do, even what we do in secret. These files are presented before GOD and, on the day of judgement, the Angels will read them.

Therefore, we should seek sanctification. The Church is like a waiting room in an airport. Travelers sit down while waiting for their flight. As the itinerary of each traveler is determined by his/her air ticket, the same way the final destination of Christians, once dead, is determined by their personal files with GOD. The Church is GOD’s Spouse. After all, Jesus will not come to take with him a prostitute as His Spouse! Therefore, the Church should be spotless and wrinkle free. The Church should be submissive. She should not be rebellious like the rich man.

When Lazarus died, his sores disappeared and Angels carried him. He received the fruit of his faith.

When the rich man died, he went to hell. Abraham told this man: “Remember” (Luke 16:25) your anger, your merciless decisions, etc. But this man had forgotten all the evil he had done when he was still alive. He too received the fruit of his faith.

While Lazarus did not complain about his condition and accepted humiliation from the rich man by contenting himself with what fell from the rich man’s table, the latter, “dressed in purple and fine linen (…) lived in luxury every day.” (Luke 16:19) “Whoever exalts himself will be humbled.” (Matthew 23:12)

My brother, my sister, if you died today, where would yo go? Are you like Lazarus or like the rich man? Know that your wealth will not go with you. Your goal should be GOD’s Kingdom.

Be blessed in Christ.

1. Get out of your physical and spiritual poverty!

The Church should not invest all its efforts to seek material wealth if it does not have spiritual wealth! When one is aware, he or she thinks about his/her soul first, and the rest will follow. Wealth is a good thing because it allows one to afford what one wants on earth. But wealth without GOD is worse than poverty. (Read the full chapter)

2. Think about everybody, whether your brothers, sisters or foreigners!

Selfishness and ethnicism go hand in hand. All of his life, the rich man ignored Lazarus whom he used to see every day; he did not help Lazarus to become rich like him. Lazarus was poor and  contented himself with the rich man’s leftovers. The rich man did not care for him. He committed his first sin by treating Lazarus as a foreigner. (Read the full chapter)

3. Stop complaining!

Lazarus never complained about his suffering, which he accepted to bear. He simply put his life in GOD’s Hands; this confidence in GOD helped him, just like his poverty made him humble. He was not ashamed of his life. He never coveted the life of the rich man; all that he wanted was to get his daily bread. (Read the full chapter)

4. Do not become attached to the world!

In the fire, the rich man did not ask for his soul’s deliverance. He had only one desire: get water to have a drink in the fire! He said: “Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire.” (Read the full chapter)

5. Listen to the prophets rather than the world!

On earth, though, Lazarus fell short of fulfilling his duty as a Christian by not announcing the Gospel to the rich man. At the same time, the rich man had prophets within earshot. (Read the full chapter)

6. Don’t try to dictate your will to GOD!

Many are Christians who serve Christ like that rich man: they go to church to impose their will on GOD! They say: “GOD, give us a daughter; a daughter who looks like X, Y, Z.” (Read the full chapter)

7. Salvation is accessible to everybody!
