It's been a long week. It's been a tiring week. Perhaps it's time we sheep learn to rest in God. Be led by Him into green pastures - beside the still waters - and wait for the restoration of strength and passion. I've been tired, I've missed Quiet Times, and there must be many out there who need rest as well :)
fifty souls in eighteen days - I'm sure we've all heard the challenge. But hearing is one thing - how are we to respond?
Jesus sent us out like sheep among wolves, to bring the other sheep back into the pen, where He can protect them and give them great joy. Who is there out there who has not known Christ yet? Love His sheep. Revival is all about loving God - and loving the sheep He had created!
I tried - and it wasn't an instant success. I tried - but it wasn't easy speaking about God. I tried - and (perhaps a part of me) felt it was a futile effort, and that it wouldn't make a difference other than deplete my time for homework. I tried - and 'failed'.
But that is what the devil hopes to make us believe - my friends. He wants us to believe that it is all in vain, it is all futile, and it will never work out. But our dear brother Xunliang shared: "With man it is impossible (for people to enter the kingdom of God), but with God everything is possible." Amen.
The time has come - to start witnessing - to start loving - to start reaching out. It'll be tough, but that's what the gatherings are for - to refresh ourselves - to encourage one another.
"(insert your name here) ____ do you love me?"
"Yes I do Lord" (most of you, all of you do right?)
"Feed my Lambs"
So let's start doing that - tell all the other sheep about the great shepherd we have found. and remember, if we do get lost or stumble on the way - Jesus will be there - leaving the flock behind, to search high and low for you - and when He finds you...well...:)
In the Faith of Jesus Christ,
