Encouragement from me to you

Hello everyone! Today is one of those days, that while I was meditating on the Lord, I began to feel especially encouraged. And if you wouldn’t mind bearing with me, I would like to also encourage you! I know a lot of the time we can get lost in our daily lives of work, family, friends, bills, etc. With all that going on, its easy to lose sight of a very fundamental & unique truth. That while we were yet in our sins, God loved us and chose us! Revelations 1:5-6 says

…To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood and made us a kingdom, priests to his God and Father, to him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.

Our faith is unique in that we call our God Abba, which means father! It is a relational claim that no other faith on the Earth makes. I pray that you find solace in that. I pray that you find comfort knowing that the God who is big enough to set the boundaries of the universe, yet small enough to hold the locality of molecules together, is mind full of YOU! Psalms 133 declares

 17 How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them! 18 If I would count them, they are more than the sand. I awake, and I am still with you.

 Glory be to God that he views us not as ratchet sinners, but as redeemers! Glory be to God that his love is everlasting and his mercy is renewed daily. Glory be to God that he is constantly mindful of us, and that he loves, guides, encourages, and protects us. Glory be to our God, for he is truly awesome!

Today I want to encourage you to walk as an Ambassador for Christ. Today let’s focus on fulfilling that great commission command given by Christ to us. Today, let’s preach the Gospel of Christ because it is the power of God unto salvation! Knowing that if someone did not proclaimed this gospel to us, we would yet still be in our sins. Let’s proclaim the Gospel of Christ knowing that God doesn’t desire the death of the wicked, but that they may turn from their evil ways, so that he may live through them! Let’s proclaim the Gospel of Christ because the agapè love of God compels us to share his truths.

I know that some of you are saying “I am too young to proclaim the Gospel.” But I say you are perfect because The Lord calls the youth, for they are strong! Some say “I am too old to proclaim the Gospel.” But I say you are perfect because The Lord calls the elders to teach the youth! Some say “I am just not smart enough to proclaim the Gospel.” But I say you are perfect because The Lord uses the foolish things to confound the wise! Some say “I am too weak to proclaim the Gospel.” But I say you are perfect because The Lord uses the weak to over take the strong!

We are all of one body with many members, none of which are more or less important than the other. I need you just as much as you need me. We all need each other! In John 17 Christ prayed that we would be one even as he and the father are one. It is by our oneness that the world would know that he is the true Messiah. Today, let us be ONE. Today, let us proclaim the Gospel of Christ. Today, let us love sinners even as our Lord loves them. For after all that our Lord has done for us, sharing his story is the least that we can do!  Amen! Hallelujah! Praise The Lord!

Praise the lord, you said a good talk. It’s really inspiring, i hope my word blessed you too.
The proclaims of the young could be by love, pray and intentional action focus on one people at the same time. Sometime christians think “talk about” the mass it’s the only way, because we see most of this application of proclaims. I pray for some young people of your church: Be disciple of Christ in your intimacy (ECCLE12:1), be friend (1Sam18:1-3) like Jonathan for a David , be a servant like Samuel for a Elia (1sam3), be helper like Timothy for a Paul (Phil 2:19-23), be a son for a mother (Joh 19:25-27) and a father (and yours too)… be before do with the help of God . You can do without love to people, but with love all actions become blessed, all attitude become proclaim of the Jesus in you. All fruits come by grace but not without your assent. Be blessed in the name of Christ. A brother in Quebec.
