Make yourself available for the call from the Lord!

 Matthew 9:37-38

He said to His disciples, “The harvest is great, but the workers are few. So, pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest; ask Him to send more workers into His fields.”

We are all different, with unique gifts and talents that God has blessed us with, in order to be blessings to each other. Ones that we need to us, as alluded to in the parable of talents found in the book of Matthew 25:14-20. However, the greatest commission we have been assigned by Jesus, is found in the book of Matthew 28:19-20 that says: "Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Basically, Jesus commissioned us to make more disciples, to grow God's kingdom and to ensure that more people are saved. To tell them the good news, so that they never have to experience death the second time, but can find life in eternity, as we have. Basically, opening our hearts to allow more people to have their eyes opened, have them set free from the bondages of hell and find the true and unconditional love of Christ. What I like, in this verse, Jesus reassures us that we are not alone, we won't have to do this in our strength but the Holy Spirit who lives in us, will help us. We just need to make ourselves available for His will.

This is why in the verse for today, Jesus says the harvest is great, meaning there are many souls we need to bring to Christ, more people that still need to be saved; yet there are few people willing to do so. He has a solution for us that we must pray to the Lord that He will send more people to help us. Therefore, I'm making a plea with you today, to make yourself available as well, to share the good news that Jesus was born especially for us, to come and die for our sins, so we may be forgiven and live. Not everyone knows or understand this or the importance thereof, hence, let us open their eyes, whilst there's still time (as we don't know the time or day the Lord will call us back). I pray the Lord send His Holy Spirit upon you and overtake you and fill you with His power to do His will. He will guide you, He will teach you and He will be with you. Be blessed.

Our King is alive, He sees and hears you...

 1 Peter 3:18 Christ suffered for our sins once for all time. He never sinned, but He died for sinners to bring you safely home to God. He suffered physical death, but He was raised to life in the Spirit. The recollection about Jesus, is one of the most powerful  story ever. His life story has impacted humanity so much, we just find ourselves in awe and feeling privileged . Jesus died for us, sinners, in order to bring us safely home, to our Father, how amazing is that! He was born to die for us, in order for us not to perish , but to live an eternal life, in communion with our Father (John 3:16). What is wonderful also, is that in as much they crucified Him and He died, He subsequently rose after three days. This means, our King is alive! We serve a King that is alive and infact through  the Holy Spirit, He lives in us! This gives  us boldness that we are not going through life on our own, but we have the Most High living in us and being there with us even in turbulent  times, just li

By knowing Christ, we get a chance of living a life that is pleasing to the Lord.

 2 Peter 1:3 By His divine power, God has given us everything we need for living a Godly life. We have received all of this by coming to know Him, the one who called us to Himself by means of His marvelous glory and excellence. By coming to know Christ, learning about Him in the word, we now have the ability to live a Godly life. This means by God's divine power, He has equipped us with the relevant information and teachings, on how we are to live our lives. The bible tells us that Jesus was sent to be our role model, our example of the things the Lord expects to see in us and to see in our daily walk here on earth. These things allow us to live a life that is acceptable in His eyes. However, God understands that we are not perfect (and we should never pressurize ourselves to be perfect), but with the guidance we have, we know that where we fall short, we can run to the Lord without guilt or shame, knowing that He is our Father who loves us and is willing to help us every step of t

Let us tell of the wonderful things He has done!

 Psalm 9:1 I will praise you, LORD, with all my heart; I will tell of all the marvelous things You have done. And that is called a testimony, telling of the wonderful  things that the Lord has done! With God on our side, we have  an advantage, where we are protected from certain things, where God ochestrates things for us so that they work in our favour (Romans 8:28). He heals us, He provides for us, He opens and closes doors and so much more. Which is why the only two things that we can do to show gratitude for all that He does for us, is first to recognize His role in the whole thing . That in our own strength, we wouldn't have been able to achieve those thigs, gotten favoured or have that opportunity come through. Basically,  giving credit where it is due, and by so doing, we give Him the glory and honour that He deserves. The second thing   that   we  ought to do, is to testify of His goodness in our lives. Us sharing of what we have seen in our lives God doing, can give someon
