Good morning from Pastor Glen Brock, Baptist Tabernacle Church, Wendell, North Carolina… “Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore, pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.” (Matthew 9:37-38)
The morning after I claimed Jesus as Lord and Savior, I understood the necessity to share my experience and to offer His Good News to others. The challenge was that I was a bit timid and shy, and it was difficult for me to share Jesus with others. What would they think? How would they respond? It was hard to share Jesus, especially when I was unsure of how it would be received. I asked Daddy how it was that he seemed to be able to share Jesus with everyone and that it didn’t seem to bother him, at all, how they might respond, or what they might think. He told me that the “Harvest belongs to the Lord, and that I belong to the Lord, and it was a privilege and a duty to offer the same life-changing opportunity to others.” He said that I should think about the Gospel as a “burning” story that I would share with my buddies and my acquaintances! He basically told me to “Gossip the Gospel!!” The more that I have matured in my spiritual walk, and the greater my confidence in His Holy Provision, and the Eternal Rewards that are awaiting me, I get excited about helping others avoid a “Hot Burning and Eternal Fiery Hell! We are told that the “Harvest is Great!” Statistics inform us that people born after 1970, a whopping 96 % do not have a relationship with Jesus Christ! Pat attention…we are a mere 4 percentage points from being a completely pagan and anti-Christian nation! Do you think that we have a responsibly, a duty, a calling, an obligation to assist others in avoiding Hell and to live in the “Abundance” of His Grace? Share the Good News of Jesus with others, Pray for fellow believers as we share our faith and the Good News with others, and live your life so that others can see the miracle of Jesus’ Love in You! Dear Lord, make me a channel of Your Grace and Your Blessings! Prepare me to be the conduit for the lost that I encounter and make me to be the witness that You expect! Stay Strong, Stay Focused…THE BEST IS YET TO BE!
