"His Voice Today"

🔸️ Not for the World, we must be crazy for Christ! 🔸️
Paul called himself "I am fool for Christ" (1 Corinthians 4:10). The title of 'fool of Christ' is far better than the title of 'Doctor' or 'Engineer' in this World. Yes, wherever Paul went, people called him by a title "madman" and ignored him. But that didn't discouraged him. Because, like his Master, he was already died to this World.
A brother who lived in a town used to hang Bible verses on the front and back of his robe in order to witness to his Lord. As a result, he became a ridiculed person in many parts of the city. A few years later, instead of Verses, he wrote in large letters on the front of his robe, "I am mad of Christ." At his backside, he wrote the text "for whom you are mad?" in large letters. Now, those who made fun of him, bowed their heads in shame for not being able to answer this question!!
Yes, if we do not want to be mad for Christ, then we'll be mad of the devil! Do you know this truth? Accepting the Cross means accepting "the position of dying to this World." Because of this, it's not a matter for us whether the World is praising or despising. "Lacking of this one thing" is the cause to lose the strength of today's youths in mass and unable them to do God's ministry mightily. We may have a lot of higher educational qualifications and a lot of gifts and talents. But “if this one thing is lacking”, all the qualifications that we have would be of no use to the service of the Lord!!
Prayer:
Our Heavenly Father! Thank you for having us as Your own; Let's not be crazy for this World, that separating us from You; be gracious upon us for we should not have any shortfall in this required area! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.
