MY FRIENDS, IS THE LIFEGUARD DROWNING THEMSELVES?
“Genuine unity is sustained in a spirit of humility, and love, in acknowledging each individual’s differences and joining together a SHARED VISION, and goals, that leads to finishing God’s commission. here on earth”
In Matthew 24:14 it states “And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.” once our focus remains on finishing God’s work here on earth then the unity we have in Christ to SAVE SOULS WHO ARE DROWNING IN SIN becomes the driving force that completes our praise, and glory in Him, and for Him, by allowing our mind and body to be “ON ONE ACCORD” with a PASSION to love as our savior loved.
A story is told to a Times-Reporter of New Philadelphia, Ohio, in September, 1985 “a celebration of a New Orleans municipal pool. The party around the pool was held to celebrate the first summer in memory without a drowning at the New Orleans city pool.
In honor of the occasion, 200 people gathered, including 100 certified lifeguards. As the party was breaking up and the four lifeguards on duty began to clear the pool, they found a fully dressed body in the deep end. They tried to revive Jerome Moody, 31, but it was too late.
He had drowned surrounded by lifeguards celebrating their successful season.” My friends the world is surrounded by Lifeguards, or Christians who have the message of the good news of the gospel why are people still DROWNING?
Why are people living and dying with no hope when we have the message of Christ soon return? Christ has told us in 
Rev. 22:12 (NIV) “Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to each person according to WHAT THEY HAVE DONE.
That is where I need you to focus today my friends on WHAT YOU HAVE DONE for Christ? How much does your neighbor and those you work with each day know of the transforming power that you have experience.
Our mission statement as one. Must be a mission statement for all, as we reach a world, in the final day’s of this life’s history. John 12:32 (NKJV) tells us, And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people, and communities to myself.”
But we must all become open minded, to the needs of everyone’s Salvation not just our self. While we each experience our personal upper room experience, the SPREADING of the good news to a sinful and immoral world must continue as we prepare for Christ soon coming,
and as God’s anointed vessel, through the Spirit filled body of saints the world will be convinced that there is a living God who gave His ONE AND ONLY SON who walked “The Via Dolorosa, road to Calvary, for the Salvation of a lost world. There is a Church on every corner full of LIFEGUARDS.
The question must then be asked ARE THE LIFEGUARD”S DROWNING THEMSELVES by allowing the god of this world to keep their minds FOCUSED “on the things that are upon the earth.” “not on things above”?
Joel 2:28-29 (KJV) says “And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions. Even on the male and female servants in those days I will pour out my Spirit.”
The promises are there in God’s word, but we must have a PASSION to seek God’s Spirit and TO SERVE. Our God has given it 
all for you, now it is time for every Child of God to follow Christ whenever, and wherever He leads.
“The shepherd’s life is one full of peril. If he is a trustworthy shepherd, he will not be careless and study his own ease, but he will search for the straying sheep amid storm and tempest.
Perhaps he will find the lost sheep slipped into some crevice of the rock, where he cannot find his way out. This is the way the true Shepherd treats the lost sinner. He goes after him; he does not hesitate at peril, self-denial, and self-sacrifice.” (E. G. White) My friends the world is DROWNING WHAT WILL WE DO TODAY
So my friends today. Stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY
Speak Your Mind
