19 And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. 21 But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.”
This is the condemnation of what will happen as told by our Lord! There is soo much darkness and wickedness as seen in our churches and leadership. BUT His light has come into the World! We are mandated to be those who shine forth HIS LIGHT....
John 4: 13-14
13 Jesus answered and said to her, “Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again, 14 but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.”
The water that Christ invites us to partake will spring off from within us into everlasting life, life that is abundant, life that will change others as they see the work of Christ in us.
What the bible tell us about being ready and prepared. What must we do?
1 John 2:12-14
12 I write to you, little children,
Because your sins are forgiven you for His name’s sake.
13 I write to you, fathers,
Because you have known Him who is from the beginning.
I write to you, young men,
Because you have overcome the wicked one.
I write to you, little children,
Because you have known the Father.
14 I have written to you, fathers,
Because you have known Him who is from the beginning.
I have written to you, young men,
Because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you,
And you have overcome the wicked one.
Why? God has called us as young people because the word of God abides in us...we have a duty and a responsibility to be true to Our Lord. We see things happening around us, we know they are wrong but are usually weak to do anything about it. Pray for courage, boldness and the strength to do what is right!
Who will call upon God for our redemption? Who will stand on the gap for this nation? Who will ask for Grace, Mercy, Forgiveness???
The young men and women of our time will. Shake off the comfort items that have soo blinded us to the call of Christ, shake off those things that blind you from your true purpose in God.
30 So I sought for a man among them who would make a wall, and stand in the gap before Me on behalf of the land, that I should not destroy it; but I found no one.
Psalm 106:23
23 Therefore He said that He would destroy them,
Had not Moses His chosen one stood before Him in the breach,
To turn away His wrath, lest He destroy them.
We need the Shadracks, Meshack's and Abednegos of our Nation to come forth and refuse to bow down to the idols. To stand up and be counted as the righteous of the Lord....God has given us a great mandate. One that we take way too lightly. Like it dosen't matter. But we should know that we Born Again Believers hold the future of our Nation in our hands! The Lord said that we are Salt of the World...The Light of the World
Matthew 5:13-16
13 “You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men.
14 “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.
Luke 8:16
16 “No one, when he has lit a lamp, covers it with a vessel or puts it under a bed, but sets it on a lampstand, that those who enter may see the light.
May we be Doers of the Word and not Hearers only! God bless you this week as you continue to Worship Him in Truth and in Spirit.
