QUICKLY AND ENERGETICALLY CARRY OUT YOUR TASK
“We must quickly carry out the tasks assigned us by the one who sent us. The night is coming, and then no one can work.”
John 9:4 (NLT)
Beloved God has trusted you with His glorious gospel.
To carry out the assignment to spread the gospel, is to carry out God’s great plan.
Though God’s plan is eternal it is to be accomplished in time. God’s eternal plan of salvation has been programmed to be accomplished in time.
God who has been in all eternity, entered time (which is a spot in eternity), and was revealed (as Jesus) to fulfill the eternal purpose and plan.
Our Lord Jesus said:
“We need to be energetically at work for the One who sent me here, working while the sun shines. When night falls, the workday is over.” John 9:4 (MSG)
Every saint must have this mind-attitude set of Jesus.
There is a time bound to this work. It is not going to continue forever.
A day is going to come where soul winning will end.
There is an expected time in God’s eternal calendar where the gospel must reach all men then the end shall come.
And day by day the end to this work draws close.
You can’t afford to procrastinate. You have to get up and be about the Father’s business.
We are in the harvest season for souls. This season will be over soon. The question at the end will be: HOW MANY SOULS DID YOU GATHER FOR THE LORD?
This is why you are here, beloved, to accomplish the task of saving men.
This is the harvest time, ACT QUICKLY AND ENERGETICALLY.
During our Bible reading plan, Proverbs 10:5 caught my attention again.
“A wise youth harvests in the summer, but one who sleeps during harvest is a disgrace” Proverbs 10:5 (NLT)
Are you wise or you are a disgrace?
You must know the season you are in and get serious with this ministry task. Make the most of this opportunity, for the time comes when there will be no such opportunity.
Look at the same verse in the Passion Translation:
“Know the importance of the season you’re in and a wise son you will be. But what a waste when an incompetent son sleeps through his day of opportunity!” Proverbs 10:5 (TPT)
Act quickly on the ideas the Lord is putting in your heart.
The things the Lord is inspiring you to do are the things He wants to do. Be the body and the person the Lord will use to quickly accomplish His task.
Don’t hesitate!
Don’t make excuses!
Don’t think it is not yet time!
The time is now.
You are in the body of Christ at such a time to accomplish purpose.
Get to work quickly and energetically.
Don’t delay with that giving. Don’t delay with the outreach plan. Don’t delay with those great ideas.
Shalom.
