Can We Talk for a Minute?
These are the last days, but they are still in the book of acts. Yes, take a minute and wrap your mind around the fact that Acts has not concluded and we are standing on the shoulders of some of the greatest men and women of all times. We have Acts for Jesus that we must do as we await His return. The world is not worse than it was a few centuries ago …it really isn’t that different. It is just that we are being touched by it, we are living in it. Guess what, Peter was living through and was touched by what was happening around him. I’m sure that Noah warned his children about the evils of the day. We know that Job did because he sacrificed for his children daily. Truthfully, was it any different when the Samaritan was attacked as he walked the street than when someone is attacked today? Of course not. Paul was chosen for the time of growing a church, Peter was chosen for birthing out or establishing a church, Stephen was chosen for his time, Lydia was chosen for her time, and Priscilla was chosen for her time. We…You and I, have been chosen by God for such a time as this. It is our turn as followers of Christ to do the things that He did and greater because he has returned to His father. It is our time to introduce Jesus to a lost, sin sick and dying world. It is our time to combat the very things that our forefathers combated so many years ago. Why? Because He is preparing a people for His return. Their job was to comfort a church that had seen their founder, Lord and Savior taken away and to encourage them to hold on. Our task is to encourage a church to hold on and stay faithful and comforted because our founder, Lord and Savior is about to return. What are you going to do? Are you going to give yourself an excuse to not fulfill the will of the Lord for our Lives? Or are you going to step up and be the chosen vessel for the times that you are in?. God did not choose Ezekiel, Moses, Jude and Phillip; neither did he choose Rahab, Rhoda, or Ruth for 2023. They had their time. He has chosen you Man of God. He has chosen you Woman of God. He has chosen you Child of God. He has chosen you complete with your shortcomings, insecurities and lack of perfection. He has chosen you because He knows that you were created to fulfill His purpose for His people in this the times that we live in. HE CHOSE YOU!!!!! This is your time. God indeed has a plan for you and a purpose for such a time as this.
