Preach the gospel fearlessly:
Jesus said, ““Whatever I tell you in the dark, speak in the light; and what you hear in the ear, preach on the housetops. And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. “Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven. But whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father who is in heaven.” Matthew 10:27-28, 32-33 (NKJV); 1 Corinthians 9:16-17(NKJV)
We were taught by our elders to be a witness to others and live a holy life, which is more important than to preach the gospel, to the people you live with. This I found is the exact opposite of what the Lord commanded us to do. Because of this we did not make any impact to the people we associated with, who do not know the Lord; and how much holy we try to live, people around us found fault in us and it looked like those who do not know the Lord lived more morally than us, Christians. When I searched the word ‘preach’ in the Bible Application I found unending verses that contains the word ‘preach’. So I believe we fell for the lie from the pit of hell!
End-times Harvest is ready:
“Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work. Do you not say, ‘There are still four months and then comes the harvest’? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest! And he who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit for eternal life, that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together.” John 4:34-36 (NKJV); Revelation 14:14-16(NKJV)
Jesus told us that the time to win the souls of the people as harvest He could already see, so He said do not wait any further to reap the harvest. We are at the end of the End-times, the Bible is talking about, and we have no time to waste. Preaching the gospel is as food to the Lord Jesus and let that be for us too. If we reap a harvest of souls, we will be given fruits for eternal life. Let us stop going after fruits that will perish!
Let the dead bury their own dead:
“Then He said to another, “Follow Me.” But he said, “Lord, let me first go and bury my father.” Jesus said to him, “Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and preach the kingdom of God.” And another also said, “Lord, I will follow You, but let me first go and bid them farewell who are at my house.” But Jesus said to him, “No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.”” Luke 9:59-62 (NKJV); Luke 14:25-27(NKJV)
Having a moral life, doing responsibilities of the house and family are considered to be the holiest life in this world, which many are finding it difficult to follow even among believers. But actually, you are called to take up the higher calling by the Lord Jesus. He says you got to leave your worldly life and help His Kingdom to be established soon on the earth, so that He could come soon and reign here. Let us make a Kingdom for our King of kings and Lord of Lords, Jesus Christ; who was, who is, and who is to come.
