Thought For Today - November 26
Volunteers Needed!
By: Robert A. Searles
God is looking for recruits and volunteers, those who are willing to go
where he sends, and do what he ask them to do to serve him and spread
the good news of the gospel.
No one can do the work of God
effectively unless they are called and anointed, and empowered by the
Holy Spirit. Some may presume to do the work of God in their own
strength and power, but will bear little or no fruit for God's glory.
Some may seek to serve God for their own personal gain or glory, and
some for filthy lucre.
In our battle for the Lord we will face
all manner of evil and unclean spirits. we must draw our power from
Christ in order to combat this evil and receive deliverance from the power of
Satan.
There are no more apostles today, but we who are born
again Christians are all disciples who are called of God to go to the
lost sheep in our own families, and neighborhoods, and deliver the
message of salvation so that sin sick souls can be delivered from their
spiritual diseases and be healed.
Christ's commission to us today
is no different than it was when he spoke to his twelve disciples and
gave them power to witness for him.
"And when he had called unto
him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits to
cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of
diseases." Matthew 10:1. \
"These twelve Jesus sent forth and commanded
them, saying, go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of
the Samaritans enter ye not, but go rather to the lost sheep of the
house of Israel, and as ye go, preach, saying, the kingdom of heaven is
at hand. Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out
devils: freely ye have received, freely give. Provide neither gold, nor
silver, nor brass in your purses; nor script for your journey, neither
two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves for the workman is worthy of
his meat. And into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter, enquire who
in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go thence, and when ye come
into a house salute it. And if the house be worthy, let your peace come
upon it: but if it not be worthy, let your peace return to you. And
whosoever shall not receive you nor hear your words, when ye depart out
of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet. Verily I say
unto you, it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorra
in the day of judgment, than for that city." Matthew 10: 5-15.
