Use Your Talent for the Lord’s Harvest
Some of the ex-Muslims of today will be the true
overcomers of the end of the age. Isn’t it amazing that Jesus is giving dreams
and visions to Muslims all over the world. He is doing a direct work, and I
believe He sees that field as white unto harvest, and truly the laborers are
few. These ex-Muslims are ready to die for their beliefs - are we? We have
divided for 500 years into more and more sects, divisions and denominations.
Most of the divisions are because of one doctrine or another . We still hear the
insanity of the prosperity gospel, ruling and reigning, receiving your
anointing, the laughing church, living in your calling, and being left behind at
the end. I am still shocked at how shallow we are as believers. We seem to run
away from the calling of the cross. Will we have to find some converted Muslims
in the end to link up with to teach us how to walk in the shadow of the cross?
I have watched for decades at the lack of direction in believers. We all think
about how it would have been to have gone along with Paul and Barnabus on the
mission trail, but I think Paul would have left us at home in our current state
and found some converted men who would pay the price - which is only in Christ
Jesus. I keep on searching for overcomers in the Christian nations - men and
women who have come out of sects and systems - those that have been banished
from the main stream of the politics of religion - the ones who have overcome
the insanity of the money and power grabbing of the mega-church. However, these
people who are overcomers are misunderstood and are few.
Have we given up on witnessing to the Muslims? Have we given them over to the
enemy to keep? Have we decided to hide in our forts and shield ourselves from
the world? Is the great commission to go into all the world only for the past
and not for now?
It is time to awaken and see that the Lord Himself will have to do the work that
we were called to because we are asleep just like the apostles in the garden.
All of these doctrines and movements have put us to sleep and robbed the way of
the cross from us.
It is time to start to pray for the conversion of the Muslims and to begin to
speak to them about Jesus. The Spirit will draw us to those that He is drawing
to Himself. The cross will have to work mightily in us for us to overcome our
rightful place in the work of His kingdom.
We have focused too long on what blessing we can receive instead of on what
calling of the Spirit within that we can give. How much longer will we need in
order to have the revelation that we who have received Christ have Him within?
We are the temple of the Holy Ghost and He is the anointing that is in you. The
cross must work mightily in us and quickly or we will find ourselves without the
oil required to enter into what Jesus is doing in the last days. Others will do
the work of the kingdom, and we will only be spectators watching and cheering as
they pay the price. We have watched and clapped long enough, and only Jesus and
the work of His cross will get us out of our present position.
We were taught that we were to be “fishers of men”, but as time goes on, it
looks like we only see some fishing and catching. We are happy for many
converts, but we ourselves are really only watching.
When Jesus came the first time, He did all the work for the early harvest, and
now He is also doing a lot of direct work for the last harvest. Lord, please do
not let us miss your timing and your calling. Let us use our 5 talents to obtain
5 more talents. We need to be led by your Spirit Lord, and not the spirit of the
world systems. Come Lord Jesus.
