The Most Important Game Ever
The game begins the day you come into this world.
It doesn’t matter if you’re a boy or a girl.
Your uniform is put on you at birth.
And you keep on this uniform until you leave this earth.
You are given some coaches, some better than others.
Some coaches are fathers, some coaches are mothers.
Some coaches are relatives or family friends.
Some coaches are women and some coaches are men.
Never the less their task is the same
To get you prepared for the big game.
The game of life is played everyday
But you can decide on which team you will play.
Be careful when you decide which team you choose.
For one of those teams is destined to loose.
God and his angles look down on the earth
They have been cheering you on since the day of your birth.
Satan stands by watching your every move
Trying to see which dirty play he will use.
He has lots of different plays for the purpose of harm
He uses all types of tactics including his charm.
But god has given us a really good tool.
A playbook filled with all of his rules.
His words are the only plays you need.
Use his words and you will succeed.
The playbook alone is not enough
You have to practice to learn this stuff.
Churches are the best practice fields.
They help god’s plays become instilled
Instilled in your heart and in your mind.
So you’ll know what to do when its game time.
Get excited and enthused about the game we play.
Don’t be content with sitting on the bench everyday.
Get out there and score points for your team.
Allow god to use you in everything.
If you’re just playing for fun, not to win
Think about what happens when your game ends.
Think about when your game is over.
When God comes down and taps you on the shoulder.
What if he says, put your uniform away?
Will you be ready to retire that day?
When its time for you to check out of the game
Will God’s team roster bare your name?
When he replays your game to see what you’ve done.
Will watching this game with him be fun?
Will he be delighted in your accomplishments?
Or disappointed that you willingly sat on the bench?
What if the championship game was today,
and everyone was playing their very last play?
If today Jesus came to gather his flock
Would you be wanting more time on the clock?
Or would you rest easy because you know you’ve played well
Do you feel confident that your next home is heaven and not hell?
Are you uncomfortable by the feelings that these questions bring?
Could it be that maybe you’re on the wrong team?
If you’re on the wrong team, if your gut feeling says its true.
Jesus Christ has been waiting for you.
He has been waiting for you to let him into your heart
Waiting for you to be a part……..
Of God’s Winning Team.
