Fervent Followers

Had this passage on my mind lately:

"So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at My Mouth, and warn them from Me."
-Ezekiel 33:7

The watchman's job was important. If they saw any danger, it was their responsibility to relay it to the people. If not, they would be responsible for the people's death. If they did tell the people, and the people didn't turn, then the people would die of their own accord. What hit me tonight is relating it to my own life. How many times have I encountered people, whether they be friends, or even strangers, and not warned them of the consequences of their sin? The answer is, quite a bit. We are responsible for the people we meet on a daily basis. While we cannot make them come to Christ, it is on us to tell them about Him. We cannot sit back and watch people head towards destruction any longer. We must do everything in our power to see them come to Christ!

We know God's Will is that none should perish, but that all should reach repentance! Jesus told us to go and make disciples! I'm encouraging you (myself included), to go and win the lost! We are the watchmen! We are responsible to spread the Good News!

"Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke up on you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light."

Matthew 11:28-29

Come to Jesus, He will give you the refreshment you need!

To be fervent means to be hot, or to boil over. Our love for Christ should not be contained to our own lives, but it should spread to the lives of those around us! Like a wild fire, our faith should spread to those around us! We must be fervent in Spirit! Are you allowing the Holy Spirit to freely move and have His way in your life? We must set our own agenda aside, and realize that God is in control of our future! Let the Spirit lead you, and quit doing things according to your own understanding!

"Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another; Not slothful in business; fervent in Spirit; serving the Lord."
-Romans 12:11

We shouldn't seek popularity, we should only seek to please Jesus!
