“Following the Orders of the King”
The children of God need to learn that following the orders of the King and following through with His instructions are essential to Kingdom growth. The mission fields are left empty and ministry roles are left vacant without Christ followers following and carrying out the orders of the King. Jesus said “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few”. This statement made by Jesus still is true today and will continue to be true until God’s people simply obey and follow the orders that Jesus has given the church. As a child of God we should desire to please God and to do things that honor Him. I believe more people would obey the orders if they realized how important the commission is for the growth of the Kingdom. And understood that God just wants us to be willing to go. The Bible says He equips those He has called. Mathew 28: 18-20 “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on Earth. Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe everything I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” Isaiah knew his condition spiritually in the face of God and because He was cleansed and forgiven, He was able to respond to the call with willingness. He said, “Here am I, send Me!” We can’t allow our sinfulness and our lifestyles to keep us from following the orders of the King. Jesus is able to forgive and restore us so that we can be used for the glory of God. My prayer for the church is that we would be willing to Go and answer the call. |
