GODS WORD FOR TODAY, BY PASTOR CHRIS

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES MONDAY, 29TH JUNE.
TAKE YOUR PLACE IN THE MINISTRY OF THE GOSPEL.
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 (Matthew 10:7-8).
As you study the Bible, you’ll find that God never arrogated absolutely to Himself, all the powers of change for human lives. He never told us, for example, that He was going to win souls by Himself. He told us to do that. He told us to heal the sick; He didn’t say, “Ask me to do it; or pray for me to do it”; no! He lets us know that it’s our responsibility, but we function with His authority. What a blessing!
The Bible says, “And they (the disciples) went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen” (Mark 16:20). This is what is happening in our day! As we preach the Gospel, the Lord confirms our message. Signs and wonders take place!
Get bold for Christ. Preach the Gospel with passion, and as you do, the Lord will confirm His Word with signs following. We have something to give to the world; it’s the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Recall again what the Lord said: Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely you have received, freely also give (Matthew 10:8). He has given us both the power and authority to do mighty works in His Name and effectively demonstrate the character of the Spirit to our world.
Therefore, take your place in the ministry of the Gospel. Preach the Gospel with boldness.
PRAYER
Dear Father, I rejoice that you counted me faithful to be a minister of reconciliation, and an effective partner with you in evangelizing the world, thus impacting many lives with the blessings of the Gospel, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
