Seize the Moment – Day 360
Witnesses to a Dark World!
Good morning! This is Pastor Jerry Ingalls from New Castle First Baptist Church and today is Friday, March 12.
What happens when you turn on a bright light in a dark room? It’s shocking!
As the end nears and the coming of Christ approaches, God will press upon His people to be the witnesses who shine brightly in the darkening days. Just as God does not leave the world without witnesses today, so God will not leave the world without witness in the great tribulations that are to come.
Listen to Revelation 11:3-4, “‘And I will grant authority to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for twelve hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.’ These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of the earth.”
Just like the two heavenly witnesses, you too have been granted great authority as God’s witness to the gospel of Jesus Christ. God has enlightened you through the gift of faith and He has empowered you with the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. God has called you to bear great spiritual fruit so that all may see His transforming power in and through you.
You are an ambassador of Jesus Christ. You were saved to shine His light to all who are caught in the darkness of these last days. Don’t be surprised when people are shocked by you and your faith! That’s what light does in dark places.
Seize the moment and shine!
Let’s recite this week’s memory verse from Romans 12:3 (NAS95), “For through the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think more highly of himself than he ought to think; but to think so as to have sound judgment, as God has allotted to each a measure of faith.”
