God is counting on you [April 9,2023 ]
God is counting on you
Isaiah 61:1
The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord has anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek;, He hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and opening of prison to them that are bound.
When Jesus was leaving this earth, He left us ( all Christians) an assignment, go to all nations and win souls ( Matthew 28:19-20)
In the verse above, God gave the Prophet Isaiah a similar mission which applies to all Christians as well.
The bible says in Genesis 1:27
God created man in His own image.
It also says in Psalm 103:13-14 that
God knows our frame, He is mindful that we are dust……
Putting the two verses immediately above together, we can say
God is our creator, He knows what He put in each of us, our weaknesses and our strengths.
He gave us the assignment because He knows and believes we can do it. He is counting on us.
Acts 1: 8
But ye shall receive power; after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you; and ye shall be my witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the utmost part of the earth.
This verse from the new testament says God has given us what we need most to overcome our weaknesses and give us the wisdom and unction we need, the Holy Spirit ( whom we receive when we are born again)
We have no excuse, we just have to step out in faith and fulfill our mission. God is counting on us
God be with you
How can I apply the word to my life?
1. Decide today, to do all you can to preach the gospel consciously and unconsciously.
2. Pray for grace and strength to do this.
Prayer
Meditate on the words of this hymn
Hark the voice of Jesus calling
Who will go and work today?
Fields are white and harvest waiting
Who will bear the sheaves away?
Loud and strong the Master calleth
Rich rewards He offers freely
Who will answer gladly saying
Here I am
Send me , send me
Amen
