Wig’s Word of God Today 1-25-2011
He said to them, “Go into the whole world and proclaim the Gospel to every creature. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved; whoever does not believe will be condemned.” Mark 16:15-16
Acts 9: 1-22, Psalm 117:1bc, 2 & Mark 16:15-18
The story of Saul turned Saint Paul on the road to Damascus to bind in chains anyone who proclaims the name of Christ Jesus. The Light of Christ came upon Saul on his journey and blinded him allowing him to hear Jesus proclaim to him; “On his journey, as he was nearing Damascus, a light from the sky suddenly flashed around him. He fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?” He said, “Who are you, sir?” The reply came, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. Now get up and go into the city and you will be told what you must do.” Acts 9″ 3-6 Many of you I am sure have heard the voice of God talking to you in a dream or in a vision but were afraid to pursue His call. “What will people think if I deny myself and be everything for God?” I’m here to tell you they will be encouraged to give more to Him. They will be encouraged to speak more of Christ. They will seek to have what you have by your walk and your talk. They will hear you speak of such graces they will seek to understand Him better. The Scales of Selfishness will fall away from your eyes and you too will be anointed Apostle of Christ Jesus.
Now as an Apostle you are charged with proclaiming the Gospel to every creature. There are many a story of saints who preached to every creature including animals of different types. Reading through some of these stories reminds me we are all responsible for living a life of giving glory to God for all things. Our LORD has given us more than just water to drink and food to eat. He has given us the ability to hear the wonder of the world. A bird singing or the soothing sounds of the ocean’s current crashing to the shore. He has given us honey to taste and various spices to enrich the flavor of our food. He has given us the sense of touch to feel the softness of a new born baby or the caress of your spouse. He has given us the ability to smell the flowers and to smell fresh baked bread baking. He has given us eyes to see the world and all its glories. The amazing qualities our LORD has blessed us with in living a life of loving your love of Christ must be proclaimed in His Truth to every creature.
And so we pray: Dear God, I pray today to have the confidence to proclaim the Gospel to every creature and to give all glory to You LORD for everything I hear, taste, feel, smell, and see. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.
God Bless,
Thomas JOe Cruz-Wiggins
Romans 8:28
Redemption Given to the Devil’s Need
Strictly educated to see
The flavor of God’s belief
A zealous love indeed
Christ’s flavor redemption relief
Persecute me not
Saul who chained the lot
Claiming his sight to believe
A Saint born to achieve
The Gospel He spoke
All heard his preaching
From coast to coast
He words were resounding
Baptized and clean
He proclaimed Christ’s deed
Everyone with ears ought to hear
The Truth brought so dear
All smells in heaven
Linger with you on a walk
The flowers are giving
A glimpse of heaven’s talk
The world will hear
The Gospel of Truth indeed
Every creature will know the Truth
Redemption given to the devil’s need
