Chose
this day whom you will serve
Society teaches us that to get ahead we need to
be focused and for us to set goals is a must. Just as an avalanche begins to
gain momentum when the snow gathers on the mountain tops unable to hold its
weight and then shifts, it then begins its downward spiral gathering speed
collecting volume whilst engulfing all in its way, so too will this world with
all its lies begin to follow suite. It has begun to shift like I have not seen
and before long it will be full steam ahead looking to bury all of its
unsuspecting victims. Therefore it is imperative that we as Christians begin to
understand the signs of the times, which our Lord and Saviour warned us to be
on the lookout for. This is a drum that has been played for millenniums now,
but in my opinion we are now entering a steady drum roll and before long those
sleeping will be caught off guard.
Today is a day for reckoning, it is a day for us
to all trim our sails and to pull out our compasses and to make sure we are on
the right path without any interference hoodwinking us into believing the world’s
opinions and their lies. It is time for us to stand up as men and to be
counted. Regardless of the cost! Yes we shall be persecuted for our faith and
the wolves will look to attach and confer they shall, so be it! We know in whom
we believe, our Saviour has cried that victorious war cry, “it is finished”! He
has conquered hell, death and the grave. We know in whom we believe and that it
will end well for all who are faithful even unto death if that is required. Our
goal is an eternal one and we must not be swayed by any other voice.
As
I watched Carte Blanche last night I was saddened to see how this world is so
hoodwinked with apparent worthy causes that will lead them astray. In fact I was
tearful thinking about how severe it really is. So much energy for God’s
creation and the efforts people place upon serving the creature and yet not
giving due benevolence to their creator. This is where the initial downward
spiral all began way back when; “For although
they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they
became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became
fools, and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling
mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things. Therefore God gave them
up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies
among themselves, because
they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the
creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen.” (Romans 1:21-25) -
It is imperative for us as Christians to stand upon the truth of God’s Word and
declare our allegiance to Him. We must not accommodate any wiggle room when it
comes to His rightful place in this universe, we must all make our voices
clearly heard in this dying and perverse generation. God will never share His
glory with another and why would He? There is no one greater than Him, “He is a
jealous God”! And He is jealous for us and He has proved His loyalty to all who
profess Him as their god and Father by sending His beloved Son, the Lord Jesus
Christ to die in our stead. Praise His name now and forever more.
The
time is short for us all but I can promise you on the authority of God’s Word
that it will end well for all the faithful; “But, as it is written, "What no eye has seen, nor ear
heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love
him"—“ (1Corinthians 2:9) – We must wrestle to find a resolve like
never before to find wisdom and keep her close as we see that day approaching.
If we have erred from the truth and the call that God has placed upon our lives
let us repent and ask, no, rather plead with our God and Father to restore a
right spirit within us. He will respond to our cries.
You
see judgement must begin with the household of God: “For it is time for
judgment to begin at the household of God; and if it begins with us, what will
be the outcome for those who do not obey the gospel of God? And "If the
righteous is scarcely saved, what will become of the ungodly and the
sinner?" Therefore let those who suffer according to God's will entrust
their souls to a faithful Creator while doing good.” (1Peter 4:17-19)
With these thoughts now captivating our souls let us
run our race with patience.
