MY FRIENDS, ARE YOU WILLING TOO GIVE IT ALL TOO THE MASTER AND BE SAVED?
Let’s look at Christ inner circle. What Christ had too develop too be sowers of His word from the inception of His church when he would no longer live among us. Luke 8:1 (NKJV) tells us, “Now it came to pass, afterward, that He went through every city and village, preaching and bringing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God. And the twelve were with Him”
Now Let’s focus on the twelve that Christ choose for discipleship to begin this Christian faith we all hold dear to us, with only 3-1/2 years to transform and prepare a group of individuals like you and I.
First, let’s take a closer look at a few of the Character flaws Christ had to work with, you have Peter; One minute he was walking on water by faith, and the next he was sinking do to a lack of faith. James and John the “sons of thunder.”
If you didn’t believe as they “Lord, do You want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them, just as Elijah did?” Luke 9:54 (NKJV) Matthew The tax collector who the Jews hated because he worked for Rome and betrayed his countrymen.
Thomas the Doubter even to the point of doubting the son of God. And Judas Iscariot a thief who Christ was never able to save simply because, wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it. Matt. 7:13-14 (NKJV)
This is the labor pool Christ choose to be sowers of the gospel in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” And He had less than half the time it takes for someone to study for the ministry today, which is usually 6 to 10 years if you get your doctorate.
Christ had a little over 3 years to make this gang of misfits into leaders who would motivate and inspire others to make extraordinary things happen for the glory of Christ as they developed a world wide body of believers into a Christian faith that each of us who seeks God’s kingdom, holds dear to our heart today.
Consistent with this, in the first century The Roman Empire had approximately sixty to seventy million people. According to the first chapter of Acts, 120 believers met in the upper room on the day of Pentecost. This is a ratio of 1 Christian to approximately every 500,000 to 580,000 people in the empire.
But my friends it all started with 12 ordinary men who went beyond what we today would consider normal, even to their death to make extraordinary things happen for Christ, who they had spent time with, as they allowed Him to transform them through His Spirit.
Now, what does that say about what Christ can do with us if we believe, and just cry out like Peter in the dead of night when the raging sea and the cares of this world seems so be overwhelming, LORD SAVE ME!!! PLEASE SAVE ME! for
“I am sinking deep in sin Far from the peaceful shore, very deeply stained within, Sinking to rise no more.” My friends, what is distracting you from focusing on life eternal and what our God has prepared for His Children who keeps His Commandments.
What keeps you from setting “your mind and keeping [it] set on what is above, [and] not on the things that are of this world.” Col. 3:2 (AMP) What is keeping you from making a complete transformation and making extraordinary things happen for the Master even to death.
“Then he said to them all: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.” Luke 9:23 (NIV) “if the angels could pull back the curtain” and you would see how close the god of this world and all who follow Him are to reaching their cup of indignation.
But my friends it is pulled back, prophecy is being fulfilled daily and soon we want have to say “LORD HOW LONG” But today If you woke up you still have time and grace. SO PLEASE GIVE IT ALL TO THE MASTER AND BE SAVED.
So my friends today. Stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY
