SUNDAY JULY 5, 2020
URGENT CALL TO PREACH
BIBLE TEXT: 2 TIMOTHY 4:2,3
Key Verse: "Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine" (2 Timothy 4:2).
When I was a child, I saw a young man who was very zealous in preaching and visiting members after every church service. He usually woke up around 4:00am to start 'morning cry' in the neighborhood. I watched and as the years went by, his vibrant nature went down, his energy diminished, and he could not do those things again. I learnt a big lesson from his life - there is a time for everything. Thus, I promised God that I would start very early to serve Him. You too can make a decision today - to serve God with your whole heart, spirit, body and strength.
As we saw in our story, a day is coming when you will be too old to move about easily. Begin to serve God from an early age while your strength can still carry you to different places for the Lord. Make up your mind never to procrastinate in your preaching so that God will not require sinners' blood from your hands. Also, face your studies and do your domestic chores, and you will have good success.
Prayer: Dear Lord, help me to stay faithful in preaching the gospel.
