“BUT THE ONE WHO STANDS FIRM TO THE END WILL BE SAVED”

Matthew 24:13

Some people come to Christ at some point then, easily go back to the world because of their inability to stand firm to their belief in the Lord. Hence, this is my first book publication which is all about encouraging people to stand firm to the end, and to hold on to the confession of their hope in Jesus Christ without wavering.

“LORD, I decree and I declare that I am the son of the most high King. I am the head and not the tail. I am above my circumstances, not beneath them. I refuse to let others pull me down into their chaos, Instead I will introduce them to my peace.

I promise that I will use my words to bless and not curse, to give thanks and not to complain. I will use my words to build up and not tear down, to encourage and not discourage.

I choose to see things from Your perspective by faith, and will not allow fear to rule my life.

I choose to walk in love and allow You to use me as His vessel to extend grace and mercy toward others.

May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.” Amen!

Welheminah “VELLY” Mothiba

My name is Job Mothiba, I am a Christian and believe in God not because my parents told me to, not because the church told me to, but because I have experienced how awesome He truly is in my life. Sometimes people throw you out of their lives just as they did with *Jonah out of the boat when you confess to having failed them. You may feel swallowed up by your own mistakes, in sin and expelled from God’s purpose as it would seem when Jonah was in the belly of the whale. However, when you confess to God that you have failed and repent, even the very belly of death as with the belly of the whale becomes a bus to your destination.

This is so as seen in the *book of Jonah when the whale spat him out at the very place God had originally commanded him to go and share His will, even though he rebelliously sailed in the opposite direction. Just like that, right out of the mess, death, disappointment, failure and sin, God will use even apparent death to spit you into your purpose. However, do not forget then and there that your purpose like that of Jonah to Nineveh is to share God’s will and testify of His Mercy, Love and Grace.

But, it is not always in the fish’s belly where God has to wrestle with you to have His way. Sometimes the best way to convince someone he is wrong is to let him have his way. No wonder now I am willing and prepared to walk with Him until the end, as the Bible says:

“…but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved”

(Matthew 24:13) ———————

I have done many mistakes and failed many times in life but I am still moving forward trying to make myself better. Hence, most people who are successful, have done more than study the successes of others, at some point you have to get up and do the work yourself. I have learned that things that seem bigger than life at the beginning, settles down after a while and become part of the norm.

It seems bigger because it is new and, is something different but, it does lose its gloss and appeal over time. Moreover, sometimes God does not give you something you want, not because you do not deserve it but, you need to walk more closely with Him, because He has more in store for you. So, if you are ever given an opportunity to do something different, do not be afraid. Just be yourself and give what comes natural not forgetting that the life journey and lessons are never over until we take out last breath.
