WHO ARE WE SEEKING?

"For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith." 2 timothy 4:6-7

Are we keeping the faith that Paul teaches us to keep? Are we fighting the good fight? Are we ready to die? Every day we wake up and every moment we draw a breath we should be praising God for a day to live for Him. A day to seek and save those who are lost.  A glorious day to serve our God and not make the suffering and death on the cross of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, of none effect. We must choose who we serve, every day with every breath.

"For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost." Luke 19:10

Time to wake up. So many are dying all around the world and right here in America who do not know Jesus, or have been deceived by false doctrines and false teachers into thinking that they know Jesus. Are we making the effort in each of our lives to reach them every day? Are we truly seeking them? A seeker is actively pursuing something. A person with a focus and heart's desire for only one thing, who does not give up and will pursue until their last breath. As Christians we should be praising God for each moment we are given to serve Him by seeking the lost.

"Be sober, be vigilant because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour." 1 Peter 5:8

The devil, our adversary, is seeking too, and he knows his time is short so you know he is intensely seeking with a passion to destroy souls unto hell with him. The devil has a one tract mind for souls, do we?  Are we as intensely seeking souls for the Kingdom of God? We need to check ourselves and get busy with the work of the ministry, seeking and saving the lost.

"And as it was in the days of Noe so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark and the flood came and destroyed them all. Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot, they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded but the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. " Luke 17:26-29

Do we think that the people that died in the tornado in Tuscaloosa woke up that morning thinking they were going to die? Does anyone wake up in the morning thinking they are going to die that day? How many of those people went to their death not knowing or denying or thinking they knew Jesus? No, for the most part it was business as usual, buying and selling, marrying and giving in marriage, partying and drinking, and doing whatever it is that the devil had used to distract them from really knowing Jesus. 

"And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell." Matthew 10:28

Christians, fear God and not man, take the message of Jesus salvation to the ends of the world. Take the message with you each day in your life right where you are. Do not be lukewarm (Revelation 3:15-16), do not be double minded (James 1:8). Be a seeker of souls for God, in Christ our Lord, with the power of the Holy Spirit living and working in you. Be God's hands and feet in a dark, lost and dying world.

JESUS IS LORD OF ALL
