Many times we as intellectual beings have forgotten what the Gospel of Jesus Christ is all about. We have forsaken the commission or the reason for the commission. Many have been called to profess the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the multitude but we have gotten either so distracted by the popularity or either we have found that The Gospel has suddenly become a drag or boring!!! Is it therefore a fact that The Gospel has lost its spark or is it that we as evangelist have lost the passion? We are no longer preaching about the Cross but we are caught up in this new 'religion' about prosperity and best life now mentality. But we have forsaken the principles of the Gospel. The reason for the cross brings about the glorious miracle of Salvation.
Everyone wants a mega church that is growing and flourishing. Everyone wants the fancy cars and private jet rides. These things aren’t entirely bad but once they become our aim and our gods then God has a problem. What is the commission about? Is it wearing fancy rings and robes and traveling the world? What really is the commission about?!
Have we lost sight of the goal and purpose God has set before us, have we gone astray. Are we walking in the footprints of Jesus when it comes to ministry?! Or are we scared to go to heights and depths for the Gospel of Christ. How much are we willing to sacrifice for the Gospel of Jesus Christ?
The disciples suffered hardships and went through high waters just to get the gospel to the people, yes maybe our present time has become a bit more tolerable to the Gospel of Jesus or is it that we have began to slowly water down the truth so as to prevent the commotion and persecution. Persecution will come, but only then we will know who are truly servants for Christ. Will we run and hide or will we stand up and proclaim Jesus as Lord?
Remember the commission, remember the call.
Nuff Love,
