Time Is Running Out

No Comments

When we have to make a decision that is very important such as a matter of life and death. We don’t hesitate to do everything we can to stop the impending emergency. What ever the situation is we do all that we can to meet the challenge. But when it come to our eternal security we tend to procrastinate, we look for an excuse to not do what we know has to be done.

How long can you continue running from God. It does not matter to God how long you have been running. He has done everything He can do to rescue you from where  you are headed. In addition to God making the provisions necessary for your salvation, He made it so easy for you to acquire , you don’t believe it. You think there is another way. My friend time is running out. Jesus said ” I Am the way and the truth and the life know one can come to the Father except by Me”(John 14:6). Allow me to help you, there is no other way, and time is running out,  Jesus said ” God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten Son that who ever believe in Him shall perish But shall Have everlasting Life(John 3:16). Time comes to an end in everyone’s life . We don’t know the day or the hour. We can leave at any time, It is appointed for men to die once but  after this the judgement (Heb. 9:27). Time is running out,  don’t put it off any longer, place your trust in Jesus today.

The Missionary’s Predestined Purpose

“Now the Lord says, who formed Me from the womb to be His Servant …” (Isaiah 49:5).

The first thing that happens after we recognize our election by God in Christ Jesus is the destruction of our preconceived ideas, our narrow-minded thinking, and all of our other allegiances—we are turned solely into servants of God’s own purpose. The entire human race was created to glorify God and to enjoy Him forever. Sin has diverted the human race onto another course, but it has not altered God’s purpose to the slightest degree. And when we are born again we are brought into the realization of God’s great purpose for the human race, namely, that He created us for Himself. This realization of our election by God is the most joyful on earth, and we must learn to rely on this tremendous creative purpose of God. The first thing God will do is force the interests of the whole world through the channel of our hearts. The love of God, and even His very nature, is introduced into us. And we see the nature of Almighty God purely focused in John 3:16—“For God so loved the world … .”

We must continually keep our soul open to the fact of God’s creative purpose, and never confuse or cloud it with our own intentions. If we do, God will have to force our intentions aside no matter how much it may hurt. A missionary is created for the purpose of being God’s servant, one in whom God is glorified. Once we realize that it is through the salvation of Jesus Christ that we are made perfectly fit for the purpose of God, we will understand why Jesus Christ is so strict and relentless in His demands. He demands absolute righteousness from His servants, because He has put into them the very nature of God.

Beware lest you forget God’s purpose for your life.
