Acts 10:38 - “How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him”
Brethren, we are not here by accident! God, in His infinite wisdom and grace, has chosen us to be at this particular place and at this particular time in history before the foundation of the world so that we could help carry out His plan. His plan?
That is clearly stated in Mark 16:15 – “And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature”
Verse 20 then concluded the chapter with “And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen”
God specifically anointed Jesus Christ during His earthly walk to go about doing good, setting the captives free.
We have the same specific instructions "preach the Good News to everybody everywhere." God is counting on us. Don't make the mistake of waiting around until everything gets perfectly straightened out in your life, all ducks lined up perfectly in a row, or when all the stars are aligned, before you begin to reach out to people in need.
Too often we say, God, as soon as you get me out of all my problems, then I'm going to witness to my family and friends. That is fantasy.
Let’s stop making excuses. There is no problem, issue or challenge-free life. satan loves for God's people to procrastinate. Friends, many are dying in their sins, in spiritual destruction.
The time to speak & witness of God’s love and work of salvation is NOW! We receive the zeal, grace and boldness to “go about doing good and witnessing the Good News”, in Jesus mighty name.
You will have good success this 2021.
Remain blessed.
Shalom.
