What
does G-d require of me as a believer?
I
would like to end where we began 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 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 But, many of us think that this is the job of the rabbi,
pastor, or priest 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 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! 73 |
