“And now what do I have here?” declares the LORD. “For my people have been taken away for nothing, and those who rule them mock, ” declares the LORD. “And all day long my name is constantly blasphemed. Therefore my people will know my name; therefore in that day they will know that it is I who foretold it. Yes, it is I.” How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, “Your God reigns!” Isaiah 52:5 – 7
The Gospel message – the Good News about Jesus Christ – is the truth that we possess! *We carry around this unspeakably precious treasure in our jars-of-clay bodies* (II Corinthians 4:7).
Naaman, the leper, was desperate for a cure. One small voice of hope spoke into his despair. *A captive slave girl shared a message that changed his world* (II Kings 5:3). *She walked in and out of one verse unnamed, but the truth she possessed delivered Naaman from certain death.*
Why do we shrink from sharing the truth that we possess? We cringe at the thought of rejection. *We worry that we can’t quote chapter and verse.* We think someone stronger and smarter will be better for the job. *But the treasure inside speaks otherwise.*
We mingle with people every day who are desperate for a cure for the sin that has ravaged their lives. They strain for a glimmer of hope. *They seek a truth that will change their world and deliver them from certain death.*
Open up the treasure box! *Bring the good news! Proclaim peace!* Bring glad testimony of the good things that God has done for you! Proclaim His salvation! *The truth that you possess is the truth that changes the world!*
LET’S PRAY.
May the Holy Spirit endue you with power to be His witness to all the world, to proclaim that our God reigns! This morning, may God’s hand be upon you and your family. I pray God shall pursue your enemies far away from you, any calamity or accidents prepare against you shall not work, their plan for evil, shall back fire in Jesus mighty name.
May God send HIS Angels to guide and lead you to your blessing and breakthrough in Jesus mighty name. Anyone behind your suffering, shall withdraw by fire and confess to you by force in Jesus name. Today God shall favor you and your family in Jesus name. Fountain.
