Mount Sinai

Let’s use our intelligent faith during this Challenge of Mount Sinai. If you’ve already been sealed by the Holy Spirit and you are absolutely sure of your salvation, then go after the realisation of your dream—a material blessing, a blessed love life, etc. But if you have any doubts about your eternal salvation, then this should be your priority. This is the most important thing in your life.

What profit is it to you if you save the whole world and lose your soul? You can even enjoy a comfortable life for awhile, but you will not enjoy it forever! Let’s invest in our soul and guarantee our eternal salvation. When we achieve this spiritual dream (the seal of God), all other dreams will eventually come true, naturally. It’s written:

“But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.” (Matthew 6:33)

Many people make the, sometimes, fatal mistake: they ignore this piece of advice. They have focused their faith first on material and emotional blessings. They forget that a spiritual blessing is the foundation of all the other blessings. To fight for any dream before obtaining your spiritual blessing is like running after the wind. There are those who even succeed, but it doesn’t last for long and, as a result, they become frustrated.

“For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?” The wise wins souls. But first, he has to win his own soul.

If you haven’t had a personal experience with the Lord Jesus, then this should be your priority in the Challenge of Mount Sinai.

See below some pictures of when we climbed Mount Sinai with other bishops and pastors from around the world, carrying the dreams of those who lived out their sacrificial faith.
