WHAT SHALL IT PROFIT A MAN/WOMAN, IF HE/SHE GAINS THE WHOLE WORLD AND LOSES HIS/HER FAMILY Part 1

WHAT SHALL IT PROFIT A MAN/WOMAN, IF HE/SHE GAINS THE WHOLE WORLD AND LOSES HIS/HER FAMILY Part 1

*Mark 8:36-37* 

36. For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? 

37. Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

I hope you have no strange feeling about this topic, our Lord Jesus laid emphasis on a single soul but in a family there are more than one soul, so I'm laying emphasis on the entire souls that comprises a family. If you and I look to the right and left and all around us we will see so many families that have been forsaken because of one pursuit or the other. I sincerely desire that through this message, so many will retrace their steps and rediscover their families and fulfill their purpose for which the family stands for.

Many CEOs and other business tycoons has forsaken their families behind and went in pursuit of attempting to gain the whole world. No one can gain the whole world we can only gain it in part, so business man/woman please remember your family and returned to them, family is more profitable than whatever your position may be in life.

Many entertainers, music entertainers, movie entertainers, comedians and all their likes have forsaken their families in pursuit of fame, popularity in an attempt to gain the whole world and more money.

Many sports icons in an attempt to rule the world have forsaken their families behind and shuttling from place to place. I am not against that but they should learn to carry their families along because so many things have tied them together. Getting married to another man or another woman is not a solution, rediscover your family and carry them along in your pursuit to gain more fame, popularity and money.

it has been well said that many people are married to their work, business, profession, hobbies, instead of getting married to their wife and family. they spend more time with all the so-called colleagues and associates and come back home late in the night every now and then. It is quite difficult to see them at home, there is nothing you can give in exchange for your family.   Your name is upon your family, they carry your DNA and blood  so you can't escape from your family.

Worst of it all, so many preachers, Bishops, prophets Evangelists, General Overseers have forsaken their families all in the name of 

being committed unto the Lord. They want to be famous, popular and known all over the world. There's some of them who fast white 

 and blue fasting, green fasting, red fasting, and they're not at home, they're on top of one Bush mountain or the other. Jesus fasted for 40 days and nights you can't see a concentrated fast in the Bible that is more than 40 days except the type that Nehemiah and Daniel engaged in that, they were breaking so why are you running away from your home. Many preachers have lost their homes and they continue to claim that their spiritual life is in order. God who created family knows that you are at fault, repent and return to your family. Your wife will not spoil your prayer, your children will not spoil your prayer  your family will not spoil your fast, it is a matter of being disciplined enough to what you are doing. There is no fasting you do in any mountain that you cannot do in your home. It requires simple agreement with other members of your family and they will respect you for that. 

 Stop abandoning your wife and your children in the name of you are seeking God- God did not get lost He remains where He is, you're losing your family. Do something about it today. May God help all of us in Jesus' name. Shalom.
