Wig’s Word of God Today 1-23-2011
For Christ did not send me to baptize but to preach the gospel, and not with the wisdom of human eloquence, so that the cross of Christ might not be emptied of its meaning. 1 Corinthians 1:17
From that time on, Jesus began to preach and say, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” Matthew 4:17
Isaiah 8:23-9:3-1, Psalm 27:1, 4, 13-14, 1 Corinthians 1:10-13, 17 & Matthew 4:12-23
How do you feel about your harvest? Your spoils God has blessed you with. Do you use them all in the Name of the Lord? Is it possible to do everything for Him with every breath you take? Do you dream about Christ’s Truth? As Anne Graham Lotz wrote: “My Jesus is Everything.” Is He your everything? Can you allow Jesus to “smash” all the self-centered things cluttering your life? There is so much clutter in a person’s life. There is a “yoke of burden” Christ will eliminate by the Trust you place in glorifying His Father to accomplish His Truth in your life. I can see how Mother Theresa was so successful after leaving her school and placing herself on the streets in the midst of so much death and despair. She emptied herself of all possessions trusting God would lead her, guide her and protect her. Where would life take you if you committed to “denying yourself for His sake?”
When you loose all fear and the Holy Spirit leads you in everything you say and do, a tranquil feeling emerges in your soul and you know everything is the way God wants it to be. You see it in people you surround yourself with in Christ. An “Armor of God” to accomplish all for the Glory of the Father. Where would our world be if we all agreed on the love of Christ and the Divine Teachings of Holy Scripture? Paul reminds us to be One in God to accomplish living in peace and harmony. Will the world outgrow God? What a scary thought. But our world is in need of Truth leading us by the people of today to accomplish the good of tomorrow. Isaiah wrote the journey of Christ by the Holy Spirit enlightening his soul. When Jesus went to Capernaum by the sea to live, Isaiah traced His footsteps by the Great Light of the Lord and Jesus began preaching “Repent for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.” Ultimately, His Father’s Will brought Him to ask two brothers, ““Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men.” Once again, proof of when you deny yourself for your love of loving Christ, you empty yourself of all barriers to accomplish only the Will of God for the Good of Humanity.
In prayer we ask: Dear Heavenly Father, today we pray for the ability to deny ourselves for the sake of Christ’s love. We repent again today of anything we might have done to offend You LORD. Allow us to preach the Gospel in the Great Light of Your Son, Who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, One God forever and ever. Amen.
God Bless,

Repent for Him
Salvation so dear
Fishers of Men
