Keep On Going Brothers and Sisters

From time to time, there would be as sense of discouragement in my heart over what I see on facebook. It would lead me to sense that I should perhaps back off and do other things. 

There are too many believers who need to be reminded of God's glory and purpose. Like me others are yearning for the fellowship of  believers,. who think with the mind of Christ.  As the days grow shorter, there is a need to be about the work of encouraging brothers and sisters, perhaps even more than evangelism.   So far, the Lord has not taken the use of facebook out of my heart. 

I have tried to walk away and the Lord keeps drawing me back.  It is because we are called to teach and preach, we are not called to see results. 

Noah preached 120 years without any results at all before the Lord sent the flood that destroyed the entire world.  No one would listen to Him, but He remained faithful to what God told Him to do.

Noah was mocked....as we are...Noah had no friends and extended family and in-laws were against him.  Sound familiar?  There was no one to encourage him as he pleaded with the people to repent. Some of us have one or two kindred spirits to come alone side, while others have no one at all.

Why would we think it would be different for us than it was for Noah, as we approach these last days before the judgment? 

There is a sense that things are winding down, few people will become born again and many who think they are, will be surprised that they will not gain entrance into heaven. 

God is impressing upon me to pray more for the believers who are persecuted, those who are lonely and unsupported and those who call themselves Christian but have never been born again. 

May those who are given to prayer, please join me in this, as we wait for the trumpet that will call us home.
