What does G-d require of me as a believer?  

 I would like to end where we began. Answer these questions and you will get my point.  

Does not every species have to reproduce in order to grow and survive?  

If that species only has one child in their lifetime then the species may or may not survive, true or false?  

The numbers of believers in Messiah Yeshua is growing, but just barely. Why?  

 

There’s a root problem. Very few believers are willing to grow up and become parents that are willing to help raise children who will then perpetuate the species. Most believers prefer to act like kids and just take care of themselves and think about their own needs. We all too commonly use the seemingly valid excuse that we are too busy. Busy? Doing Kingdom work or survival work? We will have ALL of our needs met if we will seek first the Kingdom of G-d !   Then we won’t be struggling so hard just to “get by” but will have the time and resources of the G-d of the universe at our disposal.  

Yes, some of us will come to the dinner table (weekly services) to get fed. But how mature can we get only eating once a week? We, you and I, need to take personally the direct command that our Messiah gave to EACH ONE OF US.  

Matthew 28:18 Yeshua (Jesus) came and told his disciples, "I have been given complete authority in heaven and on earth . Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, immersing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Ruach haKodesh . Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you . And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age ."  

But, many of us think that this is the job of the rabbi, pastor, or priest . WRONG! In fact let’s use our analytical minds and see why Yeshua did not set it up like that .  

Billy Graham spoke to more people about Messiah than any other minister in the 20th century. Let’s name him “super pastor” and pretend he convinced 1,000 people a day to believe in Yeshua. If he did this every day of his life for 80 years, he would have accomplished an incredible feat for the Lord. He would have gotten over 29 million people atoned!  

But billions would never get atoned and this tragedy is in fact how things are right now . Neither Billy or anyone else do it alone!  

Here is an example of how starting out small with just one person, but using G-d’s principles of everyone doing their part can outpace even “super pastor” Billy’s feat.  

To make my point, let me compare this scenario to money. If you were offered a choice between receiving a million dollars today - OR - a penny doubled each day for just 30 days (one penny today, two tomorrow, four on the third day, etc.) which would you choose?

 

 

Surprisingly the penny being double each day actually becomes $5,368,709.12 in just 30 days!  

But let’s go back to everyone doing their small part. If YOU will just accept your responsibility and help get just one person a year to accept Yeshua and then get this discipleship material into their hands so that they can begin to grow, and then they each agree to do the same, in less than 34 years the entire planet will be atoned! Sounds good, yes?  

But there is a particularly tough group of people to share your belief with and that is the Jews. Yet we are commanded to share with the Jews first!
