Bible reading: Job 20, 21; Acts 10:25-48
“God wants everyone to be saved….” 1 Timothy 2:4 (CEV)
I have often wondered what will happen to many men and women who in their lifetime didn’t have the opportunity to listen to the gospel preached to them or deliberately choose not to believe the message. God, in His love and mercies ensures that the Word gets to all in their life time.
Just as every manufacturer would want to see his product do well in the market and during its life span of use, God wants all humans to live the kind of life He intended before the fall. After all, all souls belong to Him (Ezekiel 18:4) and He knows what is best for all souls. He desires all to come to His Son, Jesus, and know the truth and be saved.
God extended this hand of fellowship to the Gentiles by sending Peter to Cornelius and his household. He sealed their accepting Jesus with the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Since then, all men, not only Jews, now have equal right of access to God because Jesus died for all.
For the many who are yet to to be saved, God has them in His heart. All He desires from us is a partnership with the Holy Spirit for effective spreading of the message of salvation. Start today in your neighbour. Talk to as many as you can around you. Ask for help from the Holy Spirit as you go out.
Prayer: Father, I thank You for the souls that are rescued in this new month by the power of your Spirit in Jesus name.
