~Daily Devotion 25th~

I feel that these are the last days, when we soon shall Jesus in the sky, calling His children Home.

Because of this soon and coming day, the work is vast. There are so many who are dying and going to hell, because we have not stop warming a pew long enough to do His work.

God requires of us as HIs disciples to finish the work that Jesus, His Son, left for us to do.

He told His disciples to...

Matthew 28: 18 - 19

18. Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,...

My dear friends I want you to remember that the minute you ask Jesus into your heart, you became one of His disciples. You now have a responsibility.

You may say, "but I cannot go into all the world." Well, you can start within your own community, and more important in your own church. Are you just keeping a pew warm, or can you say, I am about my Father's business, sharing the good news?

It is time as Christians that we tell the world about the mercy and saving grace of Jesus. You know, the same mercy and grace that Jesus showed you.

Mark 16:15

15. He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation.

God has been stirring His people. His people today have Him give the charge: "Go Ye"

Such an assignment seems impossible to achieve, and so it is with men. But with God it is possible, and so the task and calling remain before us, confronting us all. Each person and church must respond.

When Jesus gave the disciples His assignment to go into all the world and make disciples of all nations. He added this promise:

Matthew 28:20

20. and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

God's call is not a program, but a Person to follow, a Person who has given His personal command to be obeyed. And as we obey, He will then accomplish His purposes through us and give every person in our world an opportunity to hear the gospel.

Now, you must decide, yes, it is your decision. Will you follow the Great Commission and do as God has commanded you to do? "Go Ye"

When you make that decision to walk through the open door God has for you to do His work, then my pray is:

May God grant that you shall...

hear Him...

believe Him...

adjust your life to Him...

obey Him...

and fully experience Him in your everyday walk with Him........

Love, Blessings, and Prayers,
