Timothy 2:8-15, “Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, a descendant of David, in accordance with my gospel, 9 for which I am suffering, even to the point of being chained like a criminal. But the word of God is not chained. 10 For this reason I endure all things for the sake of the elect, so that they also may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus, along with eternal glory. 11 This saying is trustworthy: Indeed, if we have died with him, we will also live with him; 12 If we endure, we will also reign with him; If we deny him, he will also deny us; 13 If we are faithless, he remains faithful, because he cannot deny himself. 14 Remind people of these things, as you solemnly charge them in the presence of God not to fight about words, which does no good and only ruins those who listen.” There is a cost to pay for sharing the gospel but the rewards far outweighs the price. It’s not meant to be easy. Paul said he struggled, he was chained like a criminal. But is not Jesus worthy of us enduring all for his sake. We all are commanded to share the Gospel. This mean different things to different people. Your commission might be to just bring people to church where they will hear the gospel, or God could be sending you out into the streets to preach the gospel. There are so many ways to share the gospel, but we must look at ourselves and ask, “Am I sharing?” And not only are we sharing, but are we sharing enough? You can answer this question by the difficulties you’re having. If you are not strugglingin the least sense, you probably are not advancing the kingdom of God. Because the enemy only comes up against those that are making dents in his kingdom and we cannot advance the kingdom of God without putting a dent the kingdom of the enemy. This is part of your salvation. The struggle is not for ourselves, but it’s for others because we want to see them belonging to the kingdom of God. It’s a heart’s desire. It’s a desire that was placed in you by God himself. And it’s OK if you’re not feeling it yet, because it’s still there just waiting to be activated. We belong to Jesus and as part of that belonging we become imitators of him. So his desires will become our desires. And his desire is that no man shall perish. Let’s search our hearts today and begin to pull on that desire that God has placed in there to spread the Gospel of the kingdom of God and in the way that he has it set just for you. *** Father God, I lift up your people to you today, and I declared that there will be an activation of the desires that you have placed in our hearts. I declare that we will desire to share you with others and to not keep you to ourselves. Give us a burning to see others be free from sin and have an assurance of salvation. This is your call to us. We hear your call Abba, and we answer, “YES.” Yes to your will and and yes to your way Lord. And we answer the call of the great commission. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on this earth. On this day and everyday hereafter. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
