THE REALITY OF THE FORBIDDEN FRUIT

WITNESSING FOR CHRIST (CROSS)

WITNESSING FOR CHRIST (CROSS)

To witness for Christ, you must have the true understanding of what you are seeking, and then you cannot have the true understanding of what you are seeking when you have not to answer these three questions:

1. Who are you? (WAY: Genesis 1: 26)

2. Where are you? (WAY: Genesis 3: 9)

3. What are you seeking? (WAYS: Genesis 37: 15)

The last question reveals our mandate to do the perfect will of ASCAT based on His order (ASCAT’s Order (GO)) as captured in Matthew 28: 19. You cannot be a true witness for Christ when you are not love-driven and the love of ASCAT in your heart compels you to witness to souls from the well of life you are drinking in ASCAT (freely have you received, freely you must have to give).

You cannot be a true witness for Christ when your cross you have not first carried and it will interest you to know that our cross to carry to fulfil ASCAT’s ordinance, to win souls is to trust and obey, which defined strict adherence to ASCAT’s Order (GO). You cannot witness for Christ when you are not bold, but boldness is not of you, but of ASCAT and this is what will quicken you to be without fear and it is with this alone that you can be moved with compassion for souls, even as you are driven with the passion of evangelism, being mission conscious and ready to go wherever He is sending you. You cannot be shameful to witness for Christ when you are love-driven. Fear is a terror (1 John 4: 18) and ASCAT has not given us the spirit of fear (2 Timothy 1: 7). You cannot witness for Christ when you are not driven by the Spirit of ASCAT and those who are led (Romans 8: 14) are those who understand the time (Ephesians 5: 15, 16) and know exactly what the perfect will of the Lord is. Those who understand the time and who knows what the perfect will of the Lord is, are those who walk not as fools, but wise (Ephesians 5: 14) and the greatest show of love is not in the show, but in action to win sinners back to ASCAT.

Being a witness of Christ is not just based on your experiences, it is also much more based on what ASCAT will show (reveal to you through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, and that is why we must trust ASCAT for direction (Proverbs 3: 5, 6) and this has nothing to do with leaning on our understanding. We must be willing and ready to pay the price to witness for Christ even in the face of death, even death cannot stand a chance. The journey of the cross is a journey to rest, pressing on (Philippians 3: 12) to taking holding of that which Christ has taken hold of us and it will interest you to know that Christ took hold of you as a soul won into His kingdom and in the same office as sons of ASCAT, we must operate to GO (ASCAT’s Order).

As a witness for Christ, you are to press on to take hold of lost sinners and reconcile them back to ASCAT through the administration of the gospel of salvation which must have the message of love, not violence. It is called a good fight of faith, which states that “We fight to win and save souls, not to lose and destroy souls but it is so pathetic that the reverse is now the case.” The stand of the gospel must bring you to a point of letting go of all things to have all you need in Him, who you are charting His good course and that good course is what is called Great Commission. You can never carry out ASCAT’s mission until you have first come to ASCAT (James 4: 7) and it is incoming that burdens are lifted (Matthew 11: 28) and until you come unto ASCAT, you can never enter fully into ASCAT’s rest.

Rest is ASCAT’s final thought for us all, but how can we come to rest, when we are not STANDING, SEEKING and ASKING for the good way (Jeremiah 6: 16).

You cannot witness for Christ when your focus is on the things of this world. The church has lost its relevance because we left the first love (Revelation 2: 4, 5). The world is now driven by lawlessness and as a result of this, excess lust has become the life that most people drinking from. The more people drink of excess lusts, the more the love of many will keep waxing cold and it is so pathetic that most of our churches today is no longer a place of renewing strength because of the high level of lawlessness. Lawlessness is the highest level of carnality called iniquity and as a witness of Christ, we must counter this with the gospel of truth. Grace and truth is the dosage of love that is likened to a capsule containing, the content of ASCAT’s life and the knowledge of the content of ASCAT’s life, which serves all purposes patterning life and Godliness.

Witnessing for Christ is not a craft of drawing attention to self, but to refocus me to ASCAT and Christ must be our projection, not exalting things above all that is called ASCAT. We are born again in Christ to become faithful witnesses for Christ. For you to be a witness for Christ, your mind must not be centred on self, but Christ and souls.

There is no ministry of the gospel without passion for souls. What makes the gospel we preach a ministry is the souls we reach out to in love and with this, ASCAT is glad because soul winning is the heartbeat of ASCAT.
