Speak up

 

Our God is a speaking God!

God’s children are speaking children. For those who are born of the Holy Spirit, it will be normal to be speaking about the wonderful things that God has done. (Acts 2).

      Some of us have difficulty with spoken words (like Moses), so we write or use Christian literature – especially Bibles. Others communicate God’s love by actions of generosity in Jesus name.

The Lord Jesus said:

“you are the light of the world  …. Glowing in the night for all to see.”   (Matthew 5:14)

Paul said:

“The Word of the Lord is ringing out from you to people everywhere” (1 Thessalonians 1:8)

Peter said:

“If you are asked about your Christian hope, always be ready to explain. You must do this in a gentle and respectful way.” (1Peter 3.15)

Soon the Lord Jesus will appear with this title :

“The Word of God” (Revelation 19.13)

We could turn the world upside down if all Christians would “herald the Word of the LORD”. It has happened before (Acts 8.4). And the means to do so are more abundant than ever before! Seems to me that something is missing? How seldom I hear the message in the public square!

Let us rise up and follow the Master who went from village to village to declare the Word of God.
