Do not sell off your birthright

Brethren,

My nephew, a pastor living in Cameroon, sent this interesting message to me. I am sending these to my very beloved brothers and sisters in the Lord to encourage them too.

You may have read it before. If not then read on... It will take no more than 3 minutes.

Several years ago, a preacher from a distant town accepted a call from a church in Leeds. Some weeks after his arrival, he had an appointment that made him board a bus to another part of the town.

When he sat down, he discovered that the driver had mistakenly given him his balance over 50 pence. As he considered what to do, he thought within him, 'You'd better give this money back. It would be wrong to keep it. Then another thought came, "Oh, forget it, it's only 50p; who would worry about this little amount, after all the bus company makes so much money on fares; they will never miss it.

Accept it as a gift from God and keep quiet. "When he was getting down from the bus, he paused momentarily at the door, and then handed the 50p to the driver and said, 'Take; the balance you gave me was over'. The driver, with a smile, replied, 'Aren't you the new  preacher in town?'  'Yes I am' he replied.'Well, I have been thinking a lot lately about where to go to worship. I just wanted to see what you would do if I gave you balance in excess. I'll worship with you at the church this Sunday.

When the preacher stepped off the bus, he grabbed a nearby electric pole, looked up, and said, 'Oh God, I almost sold your  Son for 50 pence. Our lifestyles are the only Bible some people will ever read. This is just a subtle example of how much people watch us as Christians, and will put us to the test!

Always be on guard -- and remember -- You carry the name of Christ on your forehead and shoulders once you call yourself a Christian. 'Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions. Watch your actions; they become habits. Watch your habits; they become character. Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.

I'm glad a friend forwarded this to me as a reminder and I  chose to forward it to you. If you don't pass this on to anybody, nothing bad will happen to u; but, if you do, you will have ministered to someone today and God will bless you.

 If u must miss any place, don't miss HEAVEN. If u must miss any appointment, plz don't miss THE RAPTURE. If u must miss any meal, plz don't miss THE MARRIAGE SUPPER OF THE LAMB. The end is no more NEAR, It's HERE. It's global evangelism day pls send this to all those you'll like to see in heaven.
