COMING TO JESUS IS WHEN THE WORK BEGINS!

TODAY’S SCRIPTURES: “So humble yourselves before God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw close to God, and God will draw close to you.” James 4:7-8

TODAY’S MESSAGE: It is when we come to Jesus that our work begins. This is the time when we must trust in him, our faith must be strong, and we must stand up for his message to the world. This is the time when the devil and his demons will do everything within their power to stop what God wants us to do. There will mountains of problems put before us and great seas of issues for us to overcome. I was once taught that if I am suddenly having troubles in my life, then there is something great on the horizon about to happen. I truly believe this. It is when our God is working that the devil is working. God is working hard to spread his message of salvation, so that those who are unaware of the power of Jesus, can become aware. He works hard knocking at the doors of those who may not believe or who may not understand His ways. At the same time the devil is working just as hard to do just the opposite. He is working by telling lies to hinder those who are coming to Jesus. He is pulling out all the stops to hinder the message that God and his mighty army are trying to spread. As Christians it is our responsibility to carry out the Word of God. It is up to us to listen to the Holy Spirit and follow his instructions. It is our responsibility to shout the name of Jesus as loudly as we can, so that all ears may hear, and all people may become aware of what God has awaiting them. It is up to us to live our lives in support of the message that we are in charge of. The devil does not resist those who he has control over. However, he tirelessly works at stopping those of us who are spreading God’s Holy Word. It is important that we refuel our tanks every day. We are to continue to read the bible, meditate upon its content, pray continually, so that our faith never wavers, and our hopes and dreams never fade. Our Lord God in heaven is always faithful and never lets is down! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
