Speak about JESUS no matter what.

Acts 4: ¹⁸ Then they called them in again and commanded them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus. ¹⁹ But Peter and John replied, “Which is right in God’s eyes: to listen to you, or to him? You be the judges! ²⁰ As for us, we cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard.”

At work a person thought it would be a great idea to send a spiritual voicemail to several people. I got on the list and enjoyed the daily messages of inspiration. When the person left the company there was a void and the request was sent to all of us to step up and become the messenger.

The Holy SPIRIT said to me, “go ahead” but I quickly declined in fear of being labeled as some sort of fanatic. I wanted that promotion and got it! Years later the company cut many positions including mine. I wonder what GOD would have done if I had flowed HIS leading.

• Telling people about CHRIST takes courage especially when the crowd doesn’t want to hear it.
• Telling people about CHRIST is inconvenient and makes people question my lifestyle.
• Telling people about CHRIST may mean persecution and when I try to protect myself I get persecuted anyway.

The quest for fame and fortune seems to exclude CHRIST.  It is more acceptable to quote a scientific journal than GOD’s words.  The world sits back and scoffs at JESUS’ return asking in a sarcastic way, “where is HE” or “why hasn’t HE saved you from your situation?” The answer is clear, speak about GOD anyway.

• GOD wants me to tell people about HIS Son even if my dreams don’t come true.
• GOD wants me to exclaim from the mountain that HIS Son saved me even though I am a daily sinner.
• GOD the FATHER wants me to preach about JESUS because JESUS is GOD the SON.

Wealth and titles created a false world of friends for me BUT GOD has shown me that preaching about HIS SON is the most important thing I could ever do in life. The messages are never popular and most times I don’t want to write them or read them because they force me to change my lifestyle to conform to GOD’s. I am driven to serve HIM no matter what!

• Are you scared to follow GOD?
• What barriers do you have in your way when it is time for you to tell people about JESUS?
• Do you feel the need to tell many people about GOD’s great love or are you busy asking for stuff?
• Won’t you change your focus and live for CHRIST today?
