Summary: Whats keeping you from serving God, oppurtunity or will?
Are You Available For God’s Plan Today?
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
The question is not, can God use me today. The question is am I available to be used by God today? Moreover do you want to be used of God today?
Most would quickly say yes I would love to be used of God today; I just never get a chance. Or I have sinned therefore God can’t possibly use some one like me.
O brother Greg you don’t understand, I am just a kid God can’t possibly use me! Little brother or sister, you have no idea how much God could use you, if only you were available to be used.
Did you know that there are two kinds of people in this world, those who are used of God, and those who are not? (Ouch) So what’s the difference? Great question I am so glad you asked?
The only difference is that one submits to the plan of God, and the other doesn’t. What! That’s it! That’s the only difference? That’s right the bible teaches us that God is no respecter of persons. Acts 10:34 KJV
God shows no favoritism but accepts people from every nation who fear him and do what is right. Acts 10:34-35 NIV
God don’t care who you are or where you come from, he loves you just as much as he loves everyone else. (Wow! He is awesome!)
Have you ever considered that every choice you make, actually comes down to one of two things.
Will you follow the plan of GOD or not? Everything? Yes everything.
If there was a dollar on the floor, and you saw it knowing that it was not yours, you would have two choices. You could stick it in your pocket, or try to find it’s rightful owner. Which would be Gods way?
That’s right trying to find it’s rightful owner.
By doing this you would be used of God. How?
Good question. Because if you found the person that lost the dollar they would be amazed that you didn’t keep it. This would be a great chance to tell them about Jesus, and what he means to you.
God’s plan for all believers is to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ. God puts his people in contact with the lost world every day. The question is how will we respond? Will you let the world see Jesus in you? Will you tell of the new life you have, since Jesus came into your heart? Will you live your life for the one who gave you life?
Most people look at the verse in Matthew and say well that’s for preachers, and teachers.
Did you know this verse is for all of God’s children? Did you know that most people who don’t know God come to church because someone asked them to? When was the last time you asked someone to come to church with you?
Even if you’re not the one teaching, God could use you to bring someone to church, so that they can learn about God. Every one of us has a part in God’s plan to save people from their sins.
Each and every day we have the opportunity to be used of God. Will today be the day you allow God to use you, to tell the wonderful news about Jesus?
