NIV Bible. Matthew 16:24-28
[24]Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.
[25]For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it.
[26]What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul?
[27]For the Son of Man is going to come in his Father’s glory with his angels, and then he will reward each person according to what they have done.
[28]“Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.”

LIFE IS ALL ABOUT SHOWING SEED
Ecclesiastes 11:5-7
[5]As you do not know the path of the wind,
or how the body is formed in a mother’s womb,
so you cannot understand the work of God,
the Maker of all things.
[6]Sow your seed in the morning,
and at evening let your hands not be idle,
for you do not know which will succeed,
whether this or that,
or whether both will do equally well.
[7]Light is sweet,
and it pleases the eyes to see the sun.

The lying prophet
1 Kings 22:6-8,10-12,16-25
[6]So the king of Israel brought together the prophets—about four hundred men—and asked them, “Shall I go to war against Ramoth Gilead, or shall I refrain?” “Go,” they answered, “for the Lord will give it into the king’s hand.”
[7]But Jehoshaphat asked, “Is there no longer a prophet of the Lord here whom we can inquire of?”
[8]The king of Israel answered Jehoshaphat, “There is still one prophet through whom we can inquire of the Lord, but I hate him because he never prophesies anything good about me, but always bad. He is Micaiah son of Imlah.” “The king should not say such a thing,” Jehoshaphat replied.
[10]Dressed in their royal robes, the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah were sitting on their thrones at the threshing floor by the entrance of the gate of Samaria, with all the prophets prophesying before them.
[11]Now Zedekiah son of Kenaanah had made iron horns and he declared, “This is what the Lord says: ‘With these you will gore the Arameans until they are destroyed.’ ”
[12]All the other prophets were prophesying the same thing. “Attack Ramoth Gilead and be victorious,” they said, “for the Lord will give it into the king’s hand.”
[16]The king said to him, “How many times must I make you swear to tell me nothing but the truth in the name of the Lord?”
[17]Then Micaiah answered, “I saw all Israel scattered on the hills like sheep without a shepherd, and the Lord said, ‘These people have no master. Let each one go home in peace.’ ”
[18]The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “Didn’t I tell you that he never prophesies anything good about me, but only bad?”
[19]Micaiah continued, “Therefore hear the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord sitting on his throne with all the multitudes of heaven standing around him on his right and on his left.
[20]And the Lord said, ‘Who will entice Ahab into attacking Ramoth Gilead and going to his death there?’ “One suggested this, and another that.
