July Topic: Mission - The Call Of God |
This month I want to remind us What ON EARTH We should be doing! And What is our FATHER'S heartbeat? What is His greatest desire? |
Acts 13:36
... DAVID HAD SERVED GOD'S PURPOSE IN HIS OWN GENERATION...
What a tremendous testimonial from God!
Compare King Ahab. "(He) did more to provoke the Lord the God of Israel to anger than did all the Kings of Israel before him." (1 Kings 16:33) God said that David had a heart after Himself and here we see he ended up as Paul tells us as one who "served God's purpose in his own generation".
Oh that, that could be said of you and me. (Actually I'm a bit greedy - I want to serve the purposes of God for my generation and the next two!)
What is God's purpose in our generation? Has it changed? Is it not still to live in peace and righteousness, to uphold justice, to defend the weak and provide for the needy? To proclaim the Good News to all we can, so we see the captives set free?
We hear so much talk of RIGHTS and OUR RIGHTS in particular. Often we confuse them with justice. If you think about it, in reality, we have very few rights at all. However, I remember, that when I used to go around singing solos in the various local churches when I was young and still a soprano - one of the songs that became almost my signature tune went like this -
Every person in every nation in each succeeding generation, HAS THE RIGHT TO HEAR THE NEWS THAT CHRIST CAN SAVE.
Crucified on Calvary's mountain, He opened wide a cleansing fountain.
Conquered sin and death and hell!
He rose up from the grave.
Father, I am willing to dedicate to Thee -
Life and talent, time and money!
Here am I, send me.
I often think now how prophetic it was! The trouble was I meant it and God took me seriously!
Did you hear the first line? Every person in every nation in each succeeding generation has the RIGHT to hear the news that Christ can save. That's your generation too! They do have one right. They have the right to hear the News that Christ can save.
What about you? Will you tell them so they hear that Christ can save them?
Will you serve God's purpose in your generation?
God's purpose is still to see people saved and His Kingdom extended.
What, on earth, are you doing about it?
