So many times we get our mission wrong in life as Christians, I am not pointing fingers right now I am looking back because I am at the head of line. But we miss the mark, because we allow the things of this world to interfere with the will of God in our lives.
Every human being is put on this earth for a precise time, we are not born to early or to late we are here now for a reason , and that reason is to fulfill God’s will, and we will one way or another.
We are here primarily to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ, and go into the world making disciples and baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. We are to simply educate them and share with them, out of Love and let the Holy Spirit do the rest.
Mat 28:18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 "teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen.
1Corinthians 3:5 Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers through whom you believed, as the Lord gave to each one? 6 I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase. 7 So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase. 8- Now he who plants and he who waters are one, and each one will receive his own reward according to his own labor. 9 For we are God's fellow workers; you are God's field, you are God's building.
We get caught up sometimes in the thought process that we must stay and linger, and make sure that someone converts t Christ before we move on, we in a since are trying to do the work of God, and when that happens we are interfering with the will of God, a dangerous place to be I might add.
Mark6:7 And He called the twelve to Himself, and began to send them out two by two, and gave them power over unclean spirits. 8 He commanded them to take nothing for the journey except a staff--no bag, no bread, no copper in their money belts--9 - but to wear sandals, and not to put on two tunics. 10 Also He said to them, "In whatever place you enter a house, stay there till you depart from that place.11"And whoever will not receive you nor hear you, when you depart from there, shake off the dust under your feet as a testimony against them. Assuredly, I say to you, it will be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city!
We are to live the word of God, preach the word of God, and warn all those we come in contact with to repent, and know the kingdom of God is at hand, and that one day every human will stand before Jesus Christ and give an account of their life, and will answer for what they have done with the gift of God’s only Son. Now we do this simply by repeating the Bible, it is Truth and shows the depravity of man, and the Love of God, but it also talks about the wrath of God, something most people refuse to talk about nowadays,
In both the Old and New Testaments God gave mankind prophets, a prophet nowadays is a person who speaks truth, about what the future holds, well the future of mankind is grim those who have made Jesus Christ Lord and Savior have a wonderful future, those who reject Jesus Christ have condemned themselves to an eternity of darkness, sadness, despair and death. The only truth today is God’s word and as children of God we have to speak that truth in all we do, for that is the future of mankind.
Ezekiel 33:1 Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 2 "Son of man, speak to the children of your people, and say to them: 'When I bring the sword upon a land, and the people of the land take a man from their territory and make him their watchman, 3 'when he sees the sword coming upon the land, if he blows the trumpet and warns the people, 4 'then whoever hears the sound of the trumpet and does not take warning, if the sword comes and takes him away, his blood shall be on his own head. 5'He heard the sound of the trumpet, but did not take warning; his blood shall be upon himself. But he who takes warning will save his life. 6 'But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet, and the people are not warned, and the sword comes and takes any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at the watchman's hand.' 7 "So you, son of man: I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; therefore you shall hear a word from My mouth and warn them for Me. 8 "When I say to the wicked, 'O wicked man, you shall surely die!' and you do not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at your hand. 9 "Nevertheless if you warn the wicked to turn from his way, and he does not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul. 10 "Therefore you, O son of man, say to the house of Israel: 'Thus you say, "If our transgressions and our sins lie upon us, and we pine away in them, how can we then live?" ' 11 "Say to them: 'As I live,' says the Lord GOD, 'I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and live. Turn, turn from your evil ways! For why should you die, O house of Israel?'
You see God has said to us warn mankind of the coming Judgment, and the swiftness of His Sword, it is a scary place to be in the hands of angry God, and His Judgment is permanent, and there is no second chances, no rest, no peace for those who reject God’s truth.
Ezekiel goes on to say, 12 "Therefore you, O son of man, say to the children of your people: 'The righteousness of the righteous man shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression; as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall because of it in the day that he turns from his wickedness; nor shall the righteous be able to live because of his righteousness in the day that he sins.' 13- "When I say to the righteous that he shall surely live, but he trusts in his own righteousness and commits iniquity, none of his righteous works shall be remembered; but because of the iniquity that he has committed, he shall die. 14 "Again, when I say to the wicked, 'You shall surely die,' if he turns from his sin and does what is lawful and right, 15"if the wicked restores the pledge, gives back what he has stolen, and walks in the statutes of life without committing iniquity, he shall surely live; he shall not die. 16 "None of his sins which he has committed shall be remembered against him; he has done what is lawful and right; he shall surely live. 17"Yet the children of your people say, 'The way of the Lord is not fair.' But it is their way which is not fair! 18"When the righteous turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, he shall die because of it. 19- "But when the wicked turns from his wickedness and does what is lawful and right, he shall live because of it. 20 "Yet you say, 'The way of the Lord is not fair.' O house of Israel, I will judge every one of you according to his own ways."
The world, hates that it will be held accountable by God they will blame and cry out at us when we warn them, that is ok for when you speak truth to them they then and there make a decision to accept the truth or deny the truth, but rest assured it is their decision. And they will answer to God for it, the decision you and I ,must make is will we accept the position as watchman on the wall, God deals swiftly with those who deny His work.
The sword of the Lord is swift, and sharp and it will tear the spirit from the flesh. You are a watchman, you have been warned, now warn others that the Day of Judgment is fast approaching, that now is the time to turn to Christ.
Jesus is God, many will deny this just as they did in His day, do not take this personally just speak the truth out of love and continue to live your life as Jesus has called you.
Jesus said this to the Jewish people John 8:31 Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, "If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. 32"And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." 33 They answered Him, "We are Abraham's descendants, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How can You say, 'You will be made free'?" 34 Jesus answered them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin. 35 "And a slave does not abide in the house forever, but a son abides forever. 36 "Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed. 37"I know that you are Abraham's descendants, but you seek to kill Me, because My word has no place in you. 38 "I speak what I have seen with My Father, and you do what you have seen with your father." 39 They answered and said to Him, "Abraham is our father." Jesus said to them, "If you were Abraham's children, you would do the works of Abraham. 40"But now you seek to kill Me, a Man who has told you the truth which I heard from God. Abraham did not do this. 41 "You do the deeds of your father." Then they said to Him, "We were not born of fornication; we have one Father--God." 42 Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I proceeded forth and came from God; nor have I come of Myself, but He sent Me. 43 "Why do you not understand My speech? Because you are not able to listen to My word. 44 "You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it. 45 "But because I tell the truth, you do not believe Me. 46 "Which of you convicts Me of sin? And if I tell the truth, why do you not believe Me? 47 "He who is of God hears God's words; therefore you do not hear, because you are not of God." 48 Then the Jews answered and said to Him, "Do we not say rightly that You are a Samaritan and have a demon?" 49- Jesus answered, "I do not have a demon; but I honor My Father, and you dishonor Me. 50 "And I do not seek My own glory; there is One who seeks and judges. 51"Most assuredly, I say to you, if anyone keeps My word he shall never see death."
You have your orders from the word of God, it is your choice now to either serve God as a Watchman or disobey God and remain silent. Do not let fear rule your hearts, trust the Lord and make the right choice.
And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. Colossians 3:17
In Christ
