Most believers could learn a lot from nonbelievers, not just nonbelievers but real sinful nonbelievers. They can teach you one of the most spiritual and holy lessons in God. In the book of Yonah or Jonah, it records that when God called Jonah he arose and fled. But then God called him again, he arose and went. In the same eagerness with which he rebelled, he later obeyed. Do you want a secret of fruitfulness in God? Simply serve Him as you once served sin. You didn't just sin, you INDULGED in sin. You did'nt sin half heartedly, you went all the way. Now go all the way, whole-heartedly, with God.We are to be the real people of joy and zeal, not half-hearted and dead, but alive. We are supposed to show the world how to really party in the celebration that never ends. How to get really filled up & drunk not with wine, but with the Holy Spirit. You once sinned with excellence, now serve the Lord with excellence, with all the gusto and strength you can. For we alone have something real to party about.
Psalm 96:9
TODAY'S MISSION
Without complaining, wavering, or reluctance, wholeheartedly jump in to do something you know God wants you to do today.
Then the angel said to me, "Write: 'Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb!' " And he added, "These are the true words of God."
;o) Yep!
