THE URGENCY OF THE GOSPEL

I have never felt comfortable with the thought that I have done my part in the Body of Christ, I know and am continually stirred by God's Holy Spirit that there is still much to be done and achieved for the Gospel of Jesus Christ. So many people going into a Christless Eternity , calls me to keep loving, preaching , witnessing and serving for Jesus' sake .
Holy Passion for the Gospel Of JESUS CHRIST is urgent; General John Gowans( Retired) made some powerful statements from his 'RESTORING THE PASSION' tape series that he made some years ago. Here are some of these gems:
1. IF WE REALLY BELIEVE THAT 'EVERYONE WHO WILLS MAY BE SAVED' EVERYTHING WE DO WILL BE IMMERSED IN MISSION.
2. WHEN WE BEGIN TO 'TAKE CARE OF THE CORPS' RATHER THAN THE LOST THE LIGHT GOES OUT.
3.PASSION IS STILL THE HALLMARK OF A REAL SALVATIONIST.
4. SOUL-WINNING HAS ALWAYS BEEN AN EXPENSIVE BUSINESS.
5.THE PROOF OF HOLY PASSION SEEMS TO BE SACRIFICE!
6. WE EACH HAVE A GOD-GIVEN RESPONSIBILITY TO THIS GOSPEL.
It is true that I have a clear responsibility to those who do not yet know about Jesus. Jesus last command in MATTHEW 28 must be my first priority!
Please listen to the Scriptures contained in ROMANS 10;14-15 ''HOW ,THEN , CAN THEY CALL ON THE ONE THEY HAVE NOT BELIEVED IN ?AND HOW CAN THEY BELIEVE IN THE ONE OF WHOM THEY HAVE NOT HEARD? AND HOW CAN THEY HEAR WITHOUT SOMEONE PREACHING TO THEM?v15AND HOW CAN THEY PREACH UNLESS THEY ARE SENT?AS IT IS WRITTEN, HOW BEAUTIFUL ARE THE FEET OF THOSE WHO BRING GOOD NEWS!"
Today if you are reading this please understand that to maintain a "comfortable involvement"in the cause of Jesus Christ then it is time to accelerate your understanding of the urgency of this Gospel.
Jesus is coming back and that will be a great day for some and a tragic day for others , so today make JESUS LAST COMMAND YOUR FIRST PRIORITY:If you need a reminder where it is written , these verses can be found in MATTHEW 28:16-20.
This really is an EMERGENCY , think of your family & friends who do not yet know the loving SALVATION of JESUS CHRIST.........pray for them and please tell them that they need to accept JESUS as LORD & SAVIOUR!
Praying constantly for a JESUS REVIVAL!
