Matthew 10: 7 As you go, proclaim this message: ‘The kingdom of heaven has come
near.’ 8 Heal
the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons.
Freely you have received; freely give.
============
Safe is how I felt when I attended Bible study. Everyone in
the room was eager to learn and we enjoyed each other’s time and company. I did
not get a sense of competition, back-stabbing or slander from anyone. I could
relax.
- Being around those who believe in CHRIST is safe.
- Being around those who believe in CHRIST the way I do is safer.
- Being around those who believe in CHRIST and looks like me and acts like me, is safest.
After a while I noticed I was hanging very safe people. None
of these people resembled any danger whatsoever. No one hurt me or called me
names… safe. BUT GOD wanted something else.
- GOD wants me to take a risk and proclaim this message “The kingdom of heaven is near.”
- GOD wants me to leave “safety” and go where there is turmoil.
- GOD wants me to give freely the gift of salvation that HE has graciously bestowed on me.
When I was around all of the “good” people I noticed I stopped
confessing my ills and only focused on learning. Don’t get me wrong, learning
about CHRIST is noble, however, why learn? GOD wants me to be balanced. HE
desires that I not only learn of HIM, but put it into action.
GOD sends me to people every single day. If I cannot speak
directly to them, I can pray for them from a distance. HE has given me gifts
and talents that HE expects me to use so HIS message can be heard. I should not
hold anything back when I “go.”
- Are you proclaiming GOD’s message to safe people?
- Have you been hurt by the world and are scared to go proclaim GOD’s message to those who need it?
- Can you stop playing it safe and go spread GOD’s message today?
