I respect freedom of
speech rightly divided but question that some who profess to being a follower of
Jesus spend more time focusing on
exposing the wrong and not enough time on sharing the truth of Jesus and His
kingdom? Jesus did spend time exposing the devil and destroying His works but
He spent more time preaching and teaching the gospel of the kingdom and
ministering to people and their needs. We are supposed to carry on His work!
Do we need to check our focus? Are we spending enough time
and energy revealing (ministering) things such as the truth and importance of
the birth of Jesus, our being born again, His life on earth, His ministry, His
kingdom, His word of truth, His suffering and crucifixion for us, His
resurrection, His ascension, His sending the Holy Spirit and our being baptized
in the Spirit, His intercession, His desire to have a church with Him formed
within, His prayer for the unity of His church, His bride preparing herself for
the marriage of the Lamb, His return and our ruling and reigning with Him throughout
eternity?
Let’s do all that the Word directs us to do but let’s keep
the Lord’s priorities in mind and heart.
Let’s forsake all to follow Jesus; let’s seek first the kingdom of God
and His righteousness as we take the good news of Jesus and His kingdom into
all the world as a witness to all nations (Matthew 24:14). Paul gives us a good
example in the last chapter of Acts. He describes his ministry two times (Acts
28: 23, 31).
