DON’T DROP THE CROSS; PICK UP THE CROSS!!! MATTHEW 28:1


“In the end of the Sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Madgalene and the other Mary to see to Sepulchre”
Have you ever seen a man as committed as this person to Christ?
All her life, she always find her way to the master, after her first encounter with him, she kept in contact, maybe because she can see the unseen. Her commitment remind me of Paul, Peter, Silas and other disciples that will go to any extent to preach the master- they have seen the unseen, there is a driving force to that kind of energy they each release. Mary kept going to the sepulchre until her Lord arose.

There is a promise here, on the third day I will arise, someone was keeping track of that, holding on to that promise, knowing well it was Jesus who said it and surely He will do it. Behold she was privileged to be among the first set of people to see Him.

What you do now that you can’t see Him, will, to a large extent determine what you get when you see Him. Do you chose to live your life anyway you like because Jesus can’t see you?, or you believe since you are not going to Him yet, you can still live some unworthy life, when the time to see Him come, you will change… then I can say you are on a wrong track.

If it’s God that called you, then let it be God, work/live, do everything you have to do with knowledge of his constant presence and also with the knowledge of where you are going.

The Bible recorded that, Jesus for the joy that was set before Him, endured the cross. Are you tired of the cross already, thinking on giving up, does everything seem abstract?, does it look like God tarries in doing something you asked, are you hooked at a point and you don’t know where next to turn, are you confused as to whether the price is worth the stress, or you have of the mindset-if it doesn’t work well the I’ll take my leave????. I will like to beg you to look up to Jesus , He is a life example of what you are going through, he has the best answer to your worse question.

There is reward to those who will take up their cross and follow Christ. Let me just say this: it’s too early and too late to drop the cross.. are you just starting and it seems like it’s not what you expected, please keep striving, in a little while, everything will fall into place. You’ve been long in the journey and you are losing hope already for some reasons, may I ask that you just for a single reason endure.

Of what use is the effort of a ”MARY” that was always with Jesus when He was alive and doesn’t see Him after He arose from dead?. If you have started then keep going, it’s worth it. And if at all you don’t even plan to start, then, remember there is no reward for anyone who gain the whole world and loses his soul.

Don’t sell your soul to the one who will only do the three most dangerous things to it- kill-steal-destroy. I will only advise to give your life to the one who will give you a full version of it. Don’t lose contact with the source- don’t drop the cross- pick it up!!!!!!!!!
