Focus: Romans 10:14 - KJV
14. How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
Acts 8:26-38
God seeks men to be reconciled unto Him that they may call on Him and receive love in their moments. However, many people have only vague idea of the truthfulness of God. Because they do not know God, they do not believe in Him. But faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Some have been told that there is God. They make effort to want to know Him by going to read the Bible. Incidentally, the Bible as spiritual book, is not to be taken like ordinary literature, as the letter kills and only the spirit gives life. It is therefore, important for a spiritually minded person to be a preacher to the one searching for God to receive the knowledge that leads to a belief, in God.
The Eunuch of Ethiopia had with him the scripture and read it. The Holy Spirit had to put so much investment in Philip to transport him telepathically, to the place where the Eunuch was located to be able to explain to him what he read but could not understand. Like the Eunuch, many today lack the understanding of scripture and go on to give lousy interpretations which are tainted towards driving many away from their God rather than drawing them to Him, as intended by the scriptures. Unless there be seasoned preachers to teach such people and many others, they will continue to go about with fables.
Christ Himself noted during His earthly life that the harvest was plenteous but the laborers were few. It will appear that the quantum of laborers available for the harvest today are fewer than the days of Christ. God is calling out everyone that has been taught in one way or the other by necessary yet, seasoned teachers, to also arise to pick up the gauntlet to teach others. Unless they be taught, they cannot be convicted by the Spirit to receive the Lord as their Savior from rot.
Please pray:
Father, I thank you for the much you invested in me for sending necessary teachers to me to introduce me to you; and for sending me as a necessary teacher to some others too who now know you. The earth is crying for your presence and many are cringing under the yoke of bondage needing your intervention but do not know how to reach you. Help us to be more useful than ever as teachers and preachers of your word in this time, in Jesus’ name. Please appoint many more into your labor to cart in the harvest, dear Lord, in Jesus’ name. As it is important for the garment of the garment-giver to be adorable, please adorn us with beauty that those we preach to may appreciate your hand upon our lives, even now, in Jesus’ name.
Please share with others. God bless you.
