Go! or Disobey!
When you look you at the world, what do you see? When you look at the unsaved people what do you see? When you relate with your unsaved friends, what do you see? Do you just see people who are living their lives in struggle or ease, failure or success or what have you? Or do you see souls that are perishing, souls without Christ that are lost and dead? Do you see people who are blind, whose eyes need to be opened, veiled, needing to be unveiled? What do you see?
The world as we have it now is filled with evil and this affects people in diverse ways. There is war, terrorism, global financial meltdown, family separations, betrayal deceit and all and you are smack in the middle of it all. You definitely cannot stop the war because it is written in the scriptures that these things will happen in the end of times (Matthew 24:6-7-You will hear of wars and rumors of wars. Make sure that you are not alarmed, for this must happen, but the end is still to come. For nation will rise up in arms against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines and earthquakes in various places.) But you have a part to play in the whole universal rumble. You have life to give to people in this world situation, you share joy, peace and love of Christ with people even as they pass through the ups and downs of this world.
These things will end, war, strife, insecurity, instability, evil, everything will end, but these things remain forever- Faith, hope and love. They cannot have peace, joy and experience true love except they are in Christ. Faith connects you with Christ, Hope keeps you going with the mind that there is a better future after the ‘now’, and the love of Christ breeds eternal peace and joy. The world is waiting for you to give them these. It is in you, it is on you. (Romans 8:19-21- For the creation awaits in eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed. For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own will, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the glorious freedom of the children of God.) For this reason you exist, for this you have been made alive by the redeeming blood of Christ.
For we are not of those who lurk in darkness and are subdued, we are not of those who try to hide their light under the bushel, but we are of those who rise up on the hill to be seen by all, those who shine their lights into every dark area, those who are not ashamed of the gospel, those who have not received the spirit of fear but of boldness, love and of sound mind, those who are saved and have risen up for the salvation of others, we are the true ambassadors of Christ, We are the righteous ones who bring the news of righteousness, we are people with beautiful feet, we are workmen that are not ashamed and correctly handle the word of truth, we are those who have put on fully the armor of God, those who stand firm with the belt of truth buckled around their waists, with the breastplate of righteousness intact, whose feet are fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. We are those that have been prepared to bring the gospel to the ends of the earth, we are the sons of God.
(Hebrew 5:4- No one takes this honor upon himself, he must be called just as Aaron was.) You have been
called with the ultimate calling.
(John 15:16-You did not choose me, but I chose and appointed you to go and bear fruit, fruit that remain…)
(Mark16:15-16- He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. The one who believes and is baptized will be saved, but the one who does not believe will be condemned.)
Now, you can either
Go! or Disobey!
