Don't forget the Mission

Lamentations 1-2; Obadiah 1; Revelation 14

Scripture:
Revelation 14: 6Then I saw another angel flying in midair, and he had the eternal gospel to proclaim to those who live on the earth—to every nation, tribe, language and people. 7He said in a loud voice, "Fear God and give him glory, because the hour of his judgment has come. Worship him who made the heavens, the earth, the sea and the springs of water."

Observation:
I am reminded this morning that the gospel needs to get out. There are still many who have not heard the message of salvation. Some of them live in my complex, some of them make my coffee, some of them serve me food at my favorite restaurant. The angles shout out the message of God for all to hear. I have received this gift of salvation and I am called to share it with others.

Application:
I'm reminded this morning that the church is called to reach souls. Sometimes we get so wrapped up in 'church culture' that we isolate ourselves from reaching the lost. As i look at my life this morning, I realize the need to focus more on those around me who do not know Jesus. I need to preach Jesus through my lifestyle, attitude, service, the way I treat my wife and others. The world is searching for hope, the are searching for truth and love. May they see Jesus in me. The book of Romans reminds me to cloth myself with Christ. This is a daily choice, as my flesh seeks it's own desires and pleasures.I pray that today someone would see Jesus in me.

Prayer:
Father thank You for the reminder that it is all about reaching out to those who do not know You. Someone shared Jesus with me and I accept the greatest gift ever. I pray today for a heart that burns for those who do not know You. You paid a heavy price for mankind and no man should go without hearing about Your love. Lord make me sensitive to Your opportunities, to Your will and to Your ways. I pray for favor today, I ask for wisdom to lead and discernment to know Your ways. I pray that You would go before my decisions. May my attitude, lifestyle and the way I treat others point people to You. Forgive me for my sins and create in me a clean heart. Thank You for this new day, may I serve You with passion and zeal. I love You Lord. Amen.
