"But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name."

The Crowd vs the Work

The event was over. It was time to clean up. We blew the candles on each table and take them to where they should be. As I walked each way from the candle to the table, table to the candle, candle to the table, and so on, God revealed something to me. I realized that there were so many people in the room. There was enough people to help clean up. However, only 5 people are cleaning. A thought came to me, "If all these people help altogether, this will get done very quickly. It is just like in God's Kingdom."

There are so many Christians in the world. There are so many people who have heard the Good News while there are still billions of people who are dying without Christ. If every Christian will passionately rise up and reach one person at a time, more work will be done in a short time.

As Jesus commanded to "Go into all the world and preach the Gospel," (Mark 16:15) are we still going to sit in our chairs and live in trifles? Or are we going to kneel down before the Father and cry out to Him, seek Him passionately and ask Him to use us to snatch as many people from the kingdom of darkness!

Rise up, oh men and women of God! Let us RISE UP and do what He has called us to do!
