THEME: *THE EXCHANGE RATE FOR YOUR SOUL*
MEMORISE
Mark 8:37
Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
READ
Mark 8:35-37
For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it.
For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
*You are an economy higher in value than the whole world put together.*
MESSAGE
Our text today reveals the true value that our maker placed on the soul of man. It tells us that your soul is worth more than the whole world put together. This is why the LORD JESUS asked the question; "What shall it profit a man if shall gain the whole world and then lose his own soul?"
JESUS, by this revealing question shows that if it were to be just a soul left in the world that needed salvation; He still would have come for that one soul; because of its worth before God.
Today; people have short-changed the true value of their soul. They have devalued and degraded their souls to earthly things with their transient and vanishing glory. Men now equate eternal things with time bound things. Daily, people trade away their souls for earthly things without real value. Beloved, that exchange rate is too poor!
One of the reasons why God will punish those who trade away their souls for perishable things is because He made and owns every soul. And He alone knows the worth of every soul. According to His own assessment for every soul, the poorest soul is worth more than the whole world put together. So when we give away what has eternal value and worth for perishable things like money and material things; it grieves and hurts God.
The equation of your salvation reveals your true worth before God. He sent His only begotten son to die in your place. He did not send an angel or any of the beings in heaven; neither did He give away money or any earthly things that we now exchange our souls to gain.
The death of Jesus is the revelation of your real worth before God. Therefore, anytime you are tempted to fall for anything less, remember JESUS! And that is if He ever means anything to you.
Beloved, your real worth is the King of Kings who died in your place. If you are to exchange your soul for anything, it should be for Jesus Christ and nothing less.
ACTION STEPS
1. Reset your mindset about your true worth before God.
2. Step up the exchange rate of your soul. You are an economy higher in value than the whole world put together. The only thing worth falling for is Jesus Christ, not the whole world.
3. Stop giving a low discount on your soul.
REMEMBER
*You are an economy higher in value than the whole world put together.*

HYMN
1
Master, the tempest is raging!
The billows are tossing high!
The sky is o’er-shadowed with blackness,
No shelter or help is nigh:
"Carest Thou not that we perish?"
How canst Thou lie asleep,
When each moment so madly is threatening
A grave in the angry deep?
"The winds and the waves shall obey
My will!
Peace! ... be still! ...
Whether the wrath of the storm-tost sea.
Or demons, or men, or whatever it be,
No waters can swallow the ship
where lies
The Master of ocean, and earth,
and skies:
They all shall sweetly obey My will;
Peace! be still! Peace! be still!
They all shall sweetly obey My will;
Peace! peace! be still!"
2
Master, with anguish of spirit
I bow in my grief to-day;
The depths of my sad heart are troubled;
Oh, waken and save, I pray!
Torrents of sin and of anguish
Sweep o’er my sinking soul;
And I perish! I perish! dear Master:
Oh, hasten, and take control.
3
Master, the terror is over,
The elements sweetly rest;
Earth’s sun in the calm lake
is mirrored,
And heaven’s within my breast;
Linger, O blessed Redeemer,
Leave me alone no more:
And with joy I shall make the blest
harbour,
And rest on the blissful shore.
