One of
the great mysteries of the Gospel is how God uses it when it is sent
forth. The effectiveness of the Word to
bring about change in the human soul lies solely in God. We can do nothing to cause anyone to hear the
Word and let it change their life.
Nothing. The messenger is only
that, a messenger. It doesn’t matter how
well or powerfully the messenger may speak.
It doesn’t matter how knowledgeable he may be. It doesn’t matter how acceptable he may be
amongst man. It is not about the
messenger; it’s about the message.
The Word never fails to fulfill its mission that God
sends it on. When God’s Word is
proclaimed, God makes sure that someone gets the message He intended for it to
deliver. It always touches a need and
produces fruit in the heart of man.
Always. We must never pass up
opportunities to get the Word out, because God has promised that when we do
proclaim it God will bless our efforts and use His Word. It doesn’t matter how you do it or how well
you do it; it just matters that you do it.
Do your part and God will do the rest.
God
sends His Word out. He knows where and
when it is needed. He knows who to send
it with and to. He never fails to offer people
an opportunity to hear it and apply it to their life. Not everyone is willing to hear, but
nevertheless, God gives them a witness.
No one has an excuse to reject Him when they hear the Word. The Word will either draw man to God or
condemn man for rejecting God. Each will
be judged by the Word revealed, whether it be the written or Living Word.
God has
entrusted you with His Word. Don’t deny
anyone the opportunity to hear it and know it.
He holds you accountable for what you do with it. Your life is your pulpit. Proclaim loudly the Word and God so that all
who are in your world will hear it. God
will put it into the soil of people’s souls, water it, nurture it, and cause it
to take root and grow.
