I DONT KNOW ABOUT YOU, BUT I AM NOT NOR WILL I EVER BE HAPPY TO JUST SIMPLY EXIST. TO SOME EXTENT, WE ARE ALL GUILTY OF SITTING AROUND AND COMPLAINING ABOUT OUR BORING LIVES, OUR LACK OF HAPPINESS AND OUR GENERAL DISSATISFACTION WITH LIFE. WE OFTEN SIT BACK AND WAIT FOR CHANGES TO TAKE PLACE. WELL, I KNOW FOR A FACT, IF WE DONT MAKE THE CHANGES, THERE WILL BE NO CHANGES. IT IS OUR DECISION!
PEOPLE PROBABLY THOUGHT THOMAS EDISON WAS INSANE WHEN HE DESCRIBED THE LIGHT BULB. I FEEL QUITE SURE THAT PEOPLE TALKED ABOUT POOR OLE ALEXANDER GRAHAM BELL WHEN HE WANTED TO TALK TO PEOPLE WHO WERENT IN THE SAME ROOM. ALL I CAN SAY ABOUT BILL GATES IS THAT HE IS A GENIUS! ALL THREE OF THESE PEOPLE REVOLUTIONIZED THE WORLD IN THEIR OWN SPECIAL WAY. THEY ALL EXHIBITED A SHARP FOCUS AND A SPIRIT OF DETERMINATION.
JESUS CHOSE SPECIAL DISCIPLES TO GO OUT INTO THE WORLD IN ORDER THAT THEY MIGHT PREACH, HEAL THE SICK AND CAST OUT DEMONS (MARK 3:14-15). SHORTLY BEFORE HE ASCENDED INTO HEAVEN, HE TOLD THE APOSTLES THAT THEY BY THEN HAD HIS POWER WITH THEM BY WAY OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. HE INSTRUCTED THEM TO SPREAD HIS MESSAGE TO EVERY PERSON ON THE PLANET. THEIR WILLINGNESS TO OBEY HIS COMMANDS TRULY CHANGED THE WORLD. ALL THOSE YEARS AGO.................
WE NEED TO REALIZE THAT WE, AS CHRISTIANS, ARE HIS DISCIPLES OF TODAY!!! BACK THEN, THEY TRAVELED MOSTLY ON FOOT, HAD NO MODERN CONVENIENCES AND FACED TRECHEROUS OBSTACLES. WE, ON THE OTHER HAND, HAVE NO EXCUSE. IT IS TIME FOR US TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE, BRING OTHERS TO HIS PRESENCE AND ENLARGE THE BODY OF CHRIST!!!! THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO ARE DYING, WHO ARE LONELY AND WHO NEED TO BE INTRODUCED TO THE LORD! WE HAVE NO EXCUSE TO SIT BACK AND WAIT FOR SOMETHING TO HAPPEN.......
MATTHEW 4:19 "FOLLOW ME AND I WILL MAKE YOU FISHERS OF MEN
