🔸️ Our life must be a pure Witness! 🔸️

We read, "From the rising of the sun until the going down of the sun, .... Everywhere shall be offered incense and pure offerings to my name" (Malachi 1:11).

God doesn't matter about the quantity and number, but only quality and purity matters! Size may fascinate man ... but God is not like that!! This is also the truth that creation teaches us. Earth is one of the smallest spheres, with a "mustard-like" size while compared to Stars in the sky. "Nevertheless" God came down to this Earth to dwell with humanity!!

Today, Christians all over the world are satisfied with the counting and numbers as David did (2 Sam. 24)! How many have converted? According to the number of conversion, the talent of an evangelist is being valued! The growth of a congregation today is calculated on the basis of the large number and income and expenditure of the Church!!

In the first verse, we see that God expressed his heartfelt desire through Malachi. All that God concerned about Israelites in the days of Malachi was not that they were not too numerous! Nor was it because of their low offering! But because of their "unclean offering" 

(Malachi 1:6-10).

Christians who proclaim the gospel today are regretting or pretending to grieve for the low percentage of Christians in the Country. "But" God is concerned about the profane life of those who call themselves believers, and not for the number of the Christian population, not even a portion of one Lakh! All that God desires on Earth "everywhere" is "a Pure Offering" (Malachi 1:11)!!

 Prayer:

Our Loving Father! You want quality in us, not quantity; Grant us to live as a pure witness, according to Your wish! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.
