MY FRIENDS, “IF WE CAN HELP SOMEONE ALONG THE WAY” WOULD YOU?
Today, let’s focus on the talents and resources God has blessed each of us to acquire throughout our life, as we ask the good Shepherd where among his flock can we make a difference? In addition, How can we get you to brag on us and say “Hast thou considered my faithful Children?
There is none like them in all the earth, blameless, upright men, and women, who feareth God, and shuns evil and because they love as I, they indeed bear fruit and yield in my vineyard, in some cases a hundredfold, in others sixty, and in others thirty, but no matter the number, they all have gotten up and gone out to serve.
A quote from Colin Powell, tells us “the quickest way to kill communication whether leading soldiers or running the state department is to park yourself behind a massive desk” My friends we will never be able to help one of God’s Children, if we are sitting at home in front of our TV.
The Harvest is not at our house or in our church buildings. But it is at our jobs, in our neighborhoods, wherever there are souls who seek hope in a world that has lost it’s spiritual compass. In addition, We will never be able to have an impact on someone’s e life if there is no contact or interaction.
But first, self must die daily while allowing Christ to transform our lives until His Spirit has total control and then with a passion our main focus in life will be to help someone along the way on this journey Christ has placed us on to the promise land.
My friends, as we approach the final days of this life’s history there will be a sharp contrast from a child of God and those who follow the forces of evil. For Paul tells us in 2 Timothy 3:1-5: (NASB) “But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come.
For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power.”
But as a Child of God in these last days, our testimony comes from John 13:34-35 (KJV) when Christ tells us. “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
So my friends if you allow the power of God’s love in your life then along the way on this journey you will become the “salt of the earth” and the fruits of the Spirit will be your legacy, someone who is kindhearted, loving, joyful, compassionate, and humble.
All attributes that we acquired once we decided to take the focus off of self and what we want, and placed it onto others “If we can help someone along the way, then our living shall not be in vain”
My friends, as we keep looking over our life and the sunset of the time God has given us reaches its peak, what will be said about our life? Did we make a difference to someone along the way? And will our legacy have a positive and loving impact on everyone we meet?
And will everyone be able to say, I am a better person because we were a part of their lives? My friends today through God’s anointing power, as grace still abides with us, remember the harvest is plentiful and if we stay seated and don’t respond “and keep quiet, the stones will cry out.”
So my friends today. Stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY
