Benefits of Salvation

The Least in the Kingdom? Part 2 For I say unto you, Among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he. Luke 7:28 Being the least ranks high however, how we treat the least matters most to our Lord. The least are the down trodden, the weak, the poor and the less privileged in our world. Going to the rural areas of India with my covenant friend and brother Rev. Rajushalem Vaska was such an humbling experience some years ago. We experienced first hand the joy of ministering to the least. However, while seeking for partnership from fellow ministers someone said to me, “why go to India, they don’t have money to give you, you will just spend for nothing”. This is the reality of our error. Why do we do ministry? Is it so we could amass wealth? Is that why we focus our mission work only in cities and nations with affluence? Let’s reconsider. Jesus said that he will class people as sheep or goats to go into heaven or hell based on how they treated the least of His disciples by visiting, feeding, clothing and quenching their thirst. Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. Matthew 25:45 KJV If you didn’t do it for the least then you didn’t do it for Christ. We must redefine ministry in the light of pleasing the Lord and ministering to the least. Stop chasing after kings, rulers and wealthy men – that counts little in God’s eyes. Let us pursue the purest form of religion which entails giving attention to the least. Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world. James 1:27 KJV It is good to give seeds, gifts and offerings to great people to engender the grace they carry but it is of much more blessing to minister to those who can not repay you, to support rural missions and be part of wiping off the tears from the eyes of the least. Let’s minister to the unreached and unchurched. Consider giving to support our “Mission to India Phase 4” efforts to the unreached people groups in India and to strengthen ministers in the fields. If you are feeling led to, kindly ask me how to partner with us. Selah!
