  • The scene from today’s Scripture passage (Mark 10:13-16) occurs not long after Jesus had made another comment about children. As Christ and the disciples were “[passing] through Galilee” (9:30), His disciples got into a quarrel about which of them was the greatest (vv. 33-34). Jesus knew what they’d been discussing, of course, but He didn’t preach a sermon against their sinful ambition. Instead, “He took a little child whom he placed among them” and said, “Whoever welcomes one of these little children in my name welcomes me” (vv. 36-37). His object lesson about humility was obvious. That’s why it’s surprising when they “rebuked” people who were literally “bringing little children to Jesus” (10:13). They still hadn’t learned that “the kingdom of God belongs to such as these” (v. 14). As we express our childlike trust in Christ, we’ll want to welcome all who’re overlooked and undervalued.

  • SERMON TITLE: "He Must Increase& l decrease:

    Am Reagan a servant & a Witness of Jesus in this Last Age"
    Key Texts: John 3:30, Acts 26:16, Revelation 1:1-3, Joel 2:28, Hebrews 1:2, Matthew 24:44, 1 Peter 1:15-16



    INTRODUCTION
    Church, we are living in the last age.
    God is speaking again — Hebrews 1:2 — “but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son.”
    And He is still pouring out His Spirit — Joel 2:28 — “your young men shall see visions, your old men shall dream dreams.”

    The Lord showed me 3 things( visions): Red 7 in the sky, Green 7 on the wall, and then a skeleton after they vanished.
    I’m not here to be called a title. I’m here for one reason: John 3:30 — “He must increase, but I must decrease.”
    I am a servant to feed His sheep truth. A witness to testify to what I have seen Him.
    And the message is for you now: Awaken. Renew. Repent. Obey. Be pure. Jesus is coming.

    1. AWAKENING: HEAR THE SON-- GOD IS SPEAKING THROUGH THE SON.

    Revelation 1:1 — “The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show to his servants the things that must soon take place.”

    Proverbs29:18 .. ' without visions people perish."

    MESSAGE of the Red 7 vision in the sky — Red speaks of blood. 7 speaks of completion.
    This is heaven’s warning: The blood of Jesus has finished the work, and the time is complete. Joel 2:30-31 — “wonders in heavens... before the great and awesome day of the Lord comes.”
    God is saying: Wake up. The Judge is at the door. James 5:9

    We cannot sleep in sin when heaven is writing in the sky.
    Romans 13:11 — “it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.”

    2. RENEWAL & REVIVAL: LIFE ON THE WALL
    Green 7 vision on the wall — Green is life, growth, restoration. The wall is God’s house, the boundary of His people. Ezekiel 22:30 — “I sought for a man among them who should build up the wall and stand in the breach.”

    God is calling for renewal. Not new methods. New hearts.
    Psalm 51:10 — “Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.”
    Ezekiel 37:4 — “Prophesy to these bones... O dry bones, hear the word of the Lord.”

    This is revival: When God’s Word brings life back to dead places.
    But it only comes when we return to the Word and the Spirit. Zechariah 4:6 — “Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the Lord.”

    3. REPENTANCE & OBEDIENCE: OR THE SKELETON REMAINS
    Skeleton vision. ,after they vanished. skeleton vision— When the warning of blood and the offer of life are ignored, what’s left is death.
    Ezekiel 37:11 — “These bones are the whole house of Israel. Behold, they say, ‘Our bones are dried up.’”

    This is the danger of the last age: Religious, but dead. Revelation 3:1 — “You have a reputation that you are alive, but you are dead.”

    The answer is not more activity. It’s repentance.
    Acts 3:19 — “Repent therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out.”
    John 14:23 — “If anyone loves me, he will keep my word.”

    Obedience is proof of love. Purity is proof of waiting.
    1 John 3:3 — “And everyone who thus hopes in him purifies himself as he is pure.”
    1 Peter 1:15-16 — “As he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct.”

    4. THE WITNESS: TESTIFY OF HIM, NOT OF SELF
    Acts 26:16 — “I have appeared to you for this purpose, to appoint you as a servant and witness to the things in which you have seen me.”

    This is my calling in the last age. Not platforms. Not titles. Witnesses.
    Revelation 19:10 — “The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”

    Every vision, every warning, every sermon must point to Jesus.
    John 3:30 — “He must increase, but I must decrease.”
    If people leave remembering me, I failed. If they leave hungry for Jesus, I succeeded.

    Matthew 24:44 — “Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.”

    APPLICATION: 4 STEPS TO BE READY
    Awaken - Get out of spiritual sleep. Watch and pray. Mark 13:33
    Renew - Ask God to revive your first love. Revelation 2:4-5
    Repent + Obey - Turn from sin. Walk in the Word. James 1:22
    Purify - Live holy as thy God is Holy God.

    THE HIDDEN POWER OF SALT IN THE BIBLE: WHY GOD USED SALT SO OFTEN

    Have you ever wondered why salt appears over and over again in the Bible?

    It was never just a seasoning.

    From Genesis to the New Testament, salt carried deep spiritual meaning. It represented purity, preservation, faithfulness, covenant, wisdom, and even judgment.

    Let's explore what God was teaching through salt.

    1. ELISHA USED SALT TO HEAL THE WATERS OF JERICHO

    2 Kings 2:19–22

    After Elijah was taken to heaven, Elisha arrived in Jericho.

    The people said:

    «"The city is pleasant, but the water is bad and the land is unproductive."»

    God instructed Elisha:

    «"Bring me a new bowl, and put salt in it."»

    Elisha threw the salt into the spring and declared:

    «"Thus says the LORD, 'I have healed these waters; from now on neither death nor miscarriage shall come from them.'" (2 Kings 2:21)»

    Immediately the waters became pure.

    Notice something important.

    The miracle was not in the salt.

    The salt was simply an act of obedience through which God demonstrated His power.

    Spiritual meaning:

    God can cleanse what sin has poisoned.

    He can restore what seemed permanently ruined.

    When God speaks, even bitter waters become life-giving.

    2. EVERY GRAIN OFFERING HAD TO INCLUDE SALT

    Leviticus 2:13

    God commanded Israel:

    «"Season all your grain offerings with salt. Do not leave the salt of the covenant of your God out of your grain offerings; add salt to all your offerings."»

    Why?

    Because salt preserves.

    It resists corruption.

    It symbolized that Israel's worship should never become spiritually corrupt.

    Spiritual meaning:

    God desires worship that remains pure, faithful, and sincere.

    Our devotion should not spoil with compromise.

    3. GOD ESTABLISHED A "COVENANT OF SALT"

    Numbers 18:19

    God told Aaron:

    «"It is a covenant of salt forever before the LORD."»

    Again in:

    2 Chronicles 13:5

    God declared that He gave David the kingdom by a covenant of salt forever.

    In the ancient world, salt was valuable and enduring.

    A covenant sealed with salt symbolized permanence, loyalty, and faithfulness.

    Spiritual meaning:

    God does not abandon His promises.

    What He establishes, He is faithful to keep.

    4. JESUS CALLED BELIEVERS "THE SALT OF THE EARTH"

    Matthew 5:13

    Jesus said:

    «"You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again?"»

    Salt preserves food from decay.

    Likewise, believers are called to preserve truth in a corrupt world.

    We are meant to influence the world—not be influenced by it.

    Spiritual meaning:

    Christians should slow the spread of moral decay by living holy lives, speaking truth, and reflecting Christ's character.

    5. JESUS SAID TO HAVE SALT IN YOURSELVES

    Mark 9:50

    Jesus taught:

    «"Salt is good, but if it loses its saltiness... Have salt among yourselves, and be at peace with one another."»

    This points to inward spiritual character.

    Spiritual meaning:

    God desires hearts marked by wisdom, humility, holiness, and peace.

    6. PAUL COMPARED OUR WORDS TO SALT

    Colossians 4:6

    Paul wrote:

    «"Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt."»

    Our words should preserve life, bring wisdom, and point people toward Christ.

    Instead of spreading bitterness, believers should speak words that heal, encourage, and build others up.

    7. SALT WAS ALSO A SIGN OF JUDGMENT

    The Bible also uses salt to represent desolation when people reject God.

    After the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah:

    Genesis 19:26

    Lot's wife looked back in disobedience and became a pillar of salt.

    Her story stands as a warning against longing for the sinful life God has called us to leave behind.

    Later, Scripture describes lands under God's judgment as barren and covered with salt.

    Deuteronomy 29:23

    Judges 9:45

    These passages show that the same symbol could represent either blessing or judgment, depending on humanity's response to God.

    WHAT DOES SALT REPRESENT IN THE BIBLE?

    Salt symbolizes:

    • Purity

    • Preservation

    • Faithfulness

    • God's everlasting covenant

    • Holiness

    • Wisdom

    • Gracious speech

    • Healing through God's power

    • A warning against corruption and disobedience

    THE GREATEST LESSON

    Salt itself has no supernatural power.

    The Bible never teaches that salt possesses mystical or magical abilities.

    Whenever God used salt, it was because He chose it as a symbol or as part of an act of obedience.

    The power was always God's—not the salt.

    Today, God still heals bitter lives.

    He restores broken families.

    He renews weary hearts.

    He preserves those who remain faithful to Him.

    The same God who healed the waters of Jericho is still able to transform what seems impossible.

    THE GIFT OF PROPHECY

    The Scriptures testify that one of the gifts of the Holy Spirit is prophecy. This gift is an identifying mark of the remnant church and we believe it was manifested in the ministry of Ellen G. White. Her writings speak with prophetic authority and provide comfort, guidance, instruction, and correction to the church. They also make clear that the Bible is the standard by which all teaching and experience must be tested.

  • THE HARD TRUTH ABOUT JESUS` SACRIFICE
    He told them, ‘My soul is crushed with grief to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me.’” —Mark 14:34
    Have you ever felt lonely? Have you ever felt as though your friends and family had abandoned you? Have you ever felt like you were misunderstood? Have you ever had a hard time understanding or submitting to the will of God for your life? If so, then you have an idea of what the Lord Jesus went through when He agonized at Gethsemane. 
    book of Hebrews tells us, “This High Priest of ours understands our weaknesses, for he faced all of the same testings we do, yet he did not sin. So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most” (4:15–16 NLT). 
    Book of Isaiah tells us that Jesus was “a man of sorrows, acquainted with deepest grief” (53:3 NLT). But the sorrow He experienced in Gethsemane on the night before His crucifixion seemed to be the culmination of all the sorrow He had ever known and would accelerate to a climax the following day.
    The ultimate triumph that was to take place at Calvary was first accomplished beneath the gnarled, old olive trees of Gethsemane. Jesus shared His agony with His disciples. “He told them, ‘My soul is crushed with grief to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me’” (Mark 14:34 NLT
    It’s interesting that the very word Gethsemane means “olive press.” Olives were pressed there to make oil, and truly, Jesus was being pressed from all sides that He might bring life to us.
    I don’t think we can even begin to fathom what He was going through. Isaiah 53:5 says, “But he was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins. He was beaten so we could be whole. He was whipped so we could be healed” (NLT).
    That’s the hard truth of our salvation: Jesus had to suffer and die in our place. He had to endure the punishment that we deserved.
    He was crushed and beaten for our sake. He could have walked away, but He submitted to His Father’s will so that the plan of salvation could be accomplished. 
    His crushing and beating brought about your salvation and mine. Because of what Jesus went through at Gethsemane and ultimately at the cross, we can call on His name. Though His suffering and death were unfathomably excruciating, they were necessary for God’s ultimate goal. 
    Maybe you’re at a crisis point in your life right now—a personal Gethsemane, if you will. You know what you want, yet you can sense that God’s will is different. Would you let the Lord choose for you? Would you be willing to say, “Lord, I am submitting my will to Yours. Not my will, but Yours be done”? You will never regret making that decision. 

    God bless you!

    Nothing Is Impossible With God

    Mark 10:27 (AMP):
    “With people [as far as it depends on them] it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible.”

    Mark 10:27 reminds us that our limitations are not God’s limitations.
    There will be moments when you look at a situation and think, “There is absolutely no way this can happen.” Maybe the door seems completely closed, the circumstances seem too complicated, or something you have been praying for feels impossible.

    But Jesus tells us something powerful: what is impossible with people is possible with God.
    Sometimes we measure God’s ability by our own ability. We think, “I can't fix this, I don't have enough, I don't know how this will work out.” And perhaps you don't know how—and that's okay. God doesn't need you to know how. He simply asks you to trust Him.

    Your responsibility is not to figure out every detail. Your responsibility is to keep believing, keep praying, keep walking in obedience, and keep your eyes on the One who can do what you cannot.

    God can make a way where there appears to be no way. He can restore what seems broken beyond repair. He can provide when the resources seem insufficient. He can open doors you could never open yourself.

    Your impossible situation is not an impossible situation for God.
    Today, surrender the things you cannot control. Stop carrying the pressure of having to figure everything out. Give God room to work in His way and in His timing.

    Prayer
    Father,
    Thank You that nothing is impossible for You. When I look at my circumstances and see limitations, help me to look at You and see possibility.
    Forgive me for the times I've allowed fear, doubt, or my own understanding to become bigger than my faith. Teach me to trust You even when I cannot see the way forward.

    I surrender my impossible situations to You. Where I see no way, make a way. Where I feel weak, give me strength. Where I feel uncertain, give me peace.
    Help me remember that I don't have to understand everything to trust You.

    I believe that You are able to do what I cannot do. I believe that You are working even when I cannot see it. And I choose to trust You.
    In Jesus' name,
    Amen.

    Today’s Reminder
    “What is impossible for me is not impossible for God.”
    Don't let the size of your problem determine the size of your faith. Look at the greatness of your God.

There will be moments when you look at a situation and think, “There is absolutely no way this can happen.” Maybe the door seems completely closed, the circumstances seem too complicated, or something you have been praying for feels impossible.

    TITLE: "FORGETTING THE PAST, PRESSING TOWARD THE PRIZE"

    ANCHOR SCRIPTURE(S)

    Philippians 3:13–14 (KJV) "Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus."

    Hebrews 12:1–2 (KJV) "Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God."

    QUOTE TO REFLECT ON

    "Do not let yesterday hold you back from what God has prepared for tomorrow."

    DAY'S REFLECTION

    Life is a journey, and every journey has a past, a present, and a future. Some people remain trapped by past failures, disappointments, regrets, or even past successes. But Paul teaches us an important principle in Philippians 3:13–14: keep moving forward.

    Paul says, "forgetting those things which are behind." This does not mean literally erasing the past from our memory. Rather, it means refusing to allow the past to control our present or determine our future. Past failures should teach us, not imprison us. Past successes should encourage us, not make us complacent.

    The phrase "reaching forth" speaks of stretching forward with determination. Paul was focused on what was before him. He understood that spiritual growth requires continual progress. The Christian life is not about becoming comfortable with yesterday's achievements; it is about continually pursuing God's purpose.

    Paul says, "I press toward the mark." To press means to pursue with determination despite difficulties. The mark is the goal or destination toward which he was moving. This teaches us that reaching God's purpose requires focus, perseverance, and discipline.

    Hebrews 12:1 uses the picture of a race. Runners cannot successfully complete a race while carrying unnecessary weights. Likewise, there are attitudes, habits, relationships, distractions, and sins that can slow our spiritual progress. We must be willing to lay them aside.

    The writer then gives us the secret of endurance: "Looking unto Jesus." Our eyes must remain fixed on Christ. People can disappoint us, circumstances can change, and our own strength can fail, but Jesus remains the author and finisher of our faith.

    Jesus Himself endured the cross because He focused on the joy that was set before Him. In the same way, we must look beyond temporary difficulties toward the eternal purpose God has prepared for us.

    Today, do not allow yesterday's failure to cancel tomorrow's opportunity. Learn from the past, release what must be released, remove every unnecessary weight, and keep your eyes on Jesus.

    The race is not over. Keep running. Keep believing. Keep pressing forward.

    MEDITATION SCRIPTURE(S)

    Isaiah 43:18–19 (KJV) "Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert."

    1 Corinthians 9:24 (KJV) "Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain."

    LIFE LESSONS (IMPLICATIONS)

    1. The past should be a lesson, not a prison.

    2. Spiritual progress requires letting go of unnecessary weights.

    3. God's purpose requires determination and perseverance.

    4. We must keep our eyes on Jesus rather than becoming distracted by circumstances.

    5. The Christian journey is a race that requires patience and endurance.

    6. There is a God-given prize ahead for those who faithfully continue.

    EVERYDAY ACTION

    Release one past burden, remove one distraction, and take one purposeful step toward God's will today.

    PRAYER

    Heavenly Father, help me release the past and press forward with faith. Remove every weight that slows me down and keep my eyes fixed on Jesus until I fulfil Your purpose. In Jesus' name, Amen.

    DECLARATION

    I will not be controlled by my past. I press forward toward God's purpose and keep my eyes on Jesus. Every weight is removed, my faith is strengthened, and I will finish my race faithfully and receive the prize in Christ Jesus. Amen.

  • A Nugget of Truth.
    GOD’S WARNING AGAINST QUICK-PROFIT INVESTMENTS, WHAT CAN MONEY STEAL BEFORE IT IS EVER LOST?

    “He that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent.” — Proverbs 28:20

    God does not condemn honest business, careful saving, or wise investment.

    He warns against speculation—reckless ventures driven by haste, greed, excitement, and the dream of wealth without patient labor.

    The greatest danger is not an empty account.

    It is a heart emptied of Christ.

    Inspiration warns that the feverish desire to become rich quickly is contrary to the faith God’s people profess.
    ---

    ① IT AWAKENS A HUNGER MONEY CANNOT SATISFY

    Speculation whispers:

    “One more gain—then I will have enough.”

    But covetousness never says, “Enough.”

    “They that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare.” — 1 Timothy 6:9

    When money becomes necessary for peace, identity, or security—

    Christ is no longer treated as sufficient.
    ---

    ② IT REPLACES FAITH WITH FINANCIAL EXCITEMENT

    Faith asks:

    “Lord, what is Your will?”

    Greed asks:

    “How quickly can this multiply?”

    Soon charts are watched more carefully than Scripture.

    Prayer becomes hurried.

    Family worship weakens.

    Mission is postponed.

    “Trust… not in uncertain riches, but in the living God.” — 1 Timothy 6:17

    Satan need not make us openly deny Christ—

    only too absorbed in gain to walk closely with Him.
    ---

    ③ IT RISKS THE MASTER’S PROPERTY

    Everything belongs to Christ.

    We are stewards—not owners.

    “It is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.” — 1 Corinthians 4:2

    Speculation treats God’s entrusted means as though no account must be given.

    Stewardship asks, “How can this serve Christ?”

    Greed asks, “How much can this serve me?”

    Every peso carries a responsibility.
    ---

    ④ IT PROMISES FREEDOM—BUT OFTEN CREATES BONDAGE

    Quick-profit ventures may begin with hope—

    then produce anxiety, secrecy, debt, sleeplessness, damaged homes, and desperate attempts to recover losses.

    Inspiration warns that speculative enterprises become a snare and may bring financial and spiritual ruin.

    Failure can empty the pocket.

    Success can enthrone greed.

    The worst bankruptcy is not financial.

    It is spiritual.
    ---

    ⑤ IT TRAINS THE CONSCIENCE TO COMPROMISE

    When profit rules the heart, conviction becomes negotiable.

    Truth may be softened.

    Dishonesty may be excused.

    Giving may feel like loss.

    The Sabbath may become inconvenient.

    “Ye cannot serve God and mammon.” — Matthew 6:24

    Money is a useful servant—

    but a merciless master.

    A venture may earn greatly and still destroy the soul.

    “What shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?” — Mark 8:36
    ---

    ⑥ GOD’S WAY BUILDS BOTH PROVISION AND CHARACTER

    God’s path is not reckless haste, but:

    honest labor, patient diligence, careful planning, contentment, generosity, integrity, and trust in His providence.

    “Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathereth by labour shall increase.” — Proverbs 13:11

    Speculation wants the harvest without cultivation—

    the reward without discipline,

    the crown without the cross.

    But God is preparing more than our finances.

    He is preparing our characters for eternity.
    ---

    CHRIST IS THE TREASURE THAT CANNOT COLLAPSE

    Jesus did not grasp for gain.

    He surrendered everything to save us.

    “Though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that ye through His poverty might be rich.” — 2 Corinthians 8:9

    He exchanged heaven’s glory for Bethlehem’s poverty—

    and Calvary’s cross for our eternal life.

    No earthly return can equal the riches found in Christ.

    Therefore:

    Work honestly.
    Plan wisely.
    Reject greed-driven risk.
    Live within your means.
    Give generously.
    Seek Christ first.

    “Lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven.” — Matthew 6:20

    The safest investment is not the one promising the fastest return.

    It is the one you can place before Jesus with a clear conscience, manage without covetousness, use to bless others, and explain faithfully in the judgment.

    Beloved, before asking,

    “How much can I earn?”

    Ask:

    “Will this strengthen my faith and serve Christ—or quietly make money my master?”

    A fortune gained while faith is lost is not profit. It is eternal bankruptcy.
