I have a favorite song, from a Christian singer I really enjoy.  It’s a powerful song, and it, “tells it like it is!”  Read the words and then let me share some thoughts with you.  Buckle your seat belts, I’m going to preach, something heavy is on my heart!

 

Not For Sale

by Michael Combs

 

What happened to that Preacher, Who used to Preach so strong.
What happened to that singer,Who used to sing our song.
The Preacher’s out selling Amway, That singer’s now singing country.
They sold out what is right for what is wrong.

 

 

What happened to the church, That used to be on fire.
What happened to the voices, That sang in the heavenly chior.
Oh, The Church has now grown dead and cold,
The chior is sligent, Cause nobody goes.
They sold out to the world and their own desiers (Listen To Me)

 

This heart belongs to Jesus, Cause he saved my soul from Hell.
This heart belongs to Jesus, This heart is not for sale.
Not for sale, Not for sale, No way no sir.

 

Well a man from California, Called a few months ago.
He said boy with your talent , We acn make alot of dough.
I said thanks for the offer it all sounds swell.
But I belong to Jesus, And I’m just not for sale.
Not for sale, I’m not for sale, No way no sir.

 

 

Well, If you’re living for Jesus,Friend, They’ll come a day.
That old Devil’s gonna try to get you some way.
He’ll try you, And temp you, with his lies straight from hell.
Just say I belong to Jesus, And Devil I’m not for sale
Not for sale, Not for sale, No way no sir.   

 

 

I belong to the Lamb Of God,
He purchased me with his precious Blood,
I don’t need popularity, I’d rather have what he gave to me.
I belong to the King of Kings,
He’s my hope,He’s my joy, He’s my everything.
I belong to the Lord God Almighty,
I belong to the one who gave his life for me.

 

 

I belong to the Lamb Of God,
He purchased me with his precious Blood,
I don’t need popularity, I’d rather have what he gave to me.
Some sold conviction’s for compromise,
Some have sold the truth for a pack of lies.
Some have sold Testimonies for fortune and fame.
I just want to Glorify and Magnify his name
This heart belongs to Jesus,  He saved my soul from Hell.
This heart belongs to Jesus, Oh this heart is not for sale.
Not for sale, Not for sale, No way no sir.
Not for sale, I’m Not for sale,
I’m not for sale, No way no sir, I’m Not for sale,
I’m Not for sale, 

 

 

 

The enemy wants to buy you out.  He wants you to give up on God.   He wants you to accept less than God would love for you to have.  He tempts us with power, fortune and fame.  It all looks good until we trade a relationship with Christ for something that is useless!  Someday each and everyone of us will stand before Jesus and all the junk you traded your life and soul away for will be left behind on this earth.  If you were a king, a ruler, a president, or super star on this earth, none of that will carry any weight with Him.  If you are the poorest soul on this earth but you’ve given your heart and life to Him, you will stand before Him with nothing to hide or be ashamed of.  If He owns your life now you will stand before Him then as one of His Children, a member of His family!!  You can’t fool Him, he is no respecter of persons, He will know all your secrets, your thoughts speak as loud in heaven as your words do here!  There will be no where to hide when you face Him.  What will you take to that meeting?

 

One of the agonizing things about living as long as I’ve lived is that I’ve watched, through tear filled eyes, how many have sold their precious lives and souls for nothing at all.  Man’s best efforts are as filthy rags compared to Him.  Don’t let the enemy sell you a bill of goods.  If your efforts don’t glorify God they will be wasted, and lost in the end.

 

Ask yourself these questions before you act;

 

Will my actions lead others to Christ or run them away?

 

Do I want to follow Him more than acceptance, praise, power?

 

Do I know that no matter how hard I work, or how much I accumulate here, that it will all turn to dust someday?

 

Are you determined to live for Him and change the lives of others for the good, or get as much as you can, for yourself?

 

Please don’t throw the precious life you’ve been given away, make a difference, Ask God to help you be a part of His plan.  Anything else is a waste.

 

“This heart belongs to Jesus, Oh this heart, this hearts not for sale.”
