The Chosen, Called After The Rotten Fruit
Called To Redeem The Lost Back To Christ

The chosen is for the day to come, the called is for now.

Matthew 20:16
So the last shall be first ad the first last: for many be called, but few are chosen.

St. John 15:16
Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the father in my name, he may give it you.

The called, the chosen is God’s messenger. God has always had a messenger. Malachi 3:1, behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold he shall come: saith the Lord of hosts. The called is here to offer salvation to a dying world now but the chosen will come and he will be a refiner of what God has already done through his called messenger. Our call as God’s messenger is to prepare the way, make the path straight, Baptize, Preach and offer repentance to every dying soul. Encourage them to continual repentance through confession of souls.

Called – summoned by God, available if required, designated one, whether by appeal or invitation.

Chosen – selected out of a greater number, decide, be determined. Elect, pick, opt for, most suitable for a work, handpicked, special, preferred, or favored.

First – earliest in time or order, foremost in position, rank or importance. Most willing or likely, before someone or something else. Oldest, original, initial, leading, principle, preeminence, primary, chief, head, premier, prime. Beforehand, ahead, sooner, at the start.

Last – after all others, coming at or belonging to the end. Preceeding, only remaining, least likely, lowest in rank, after all others, in the end. Final, concluding, terminal, ultimate, extreme, hindmost, conclusive, bottom, worst. End, finish. Remain unexhausted or alive for a time, go on, keep on, carry out, survive, persist, hold out, endure

Since we have been called or chosen, why do we run, what are you running from? So many of us are walking away from God. We have to get it together to become the soldier God has called us to be. Why run from what is good for you? Jesus is the lover of your soul. Do you know what is best for you? If it’s better to you than anything else you have ever encountered in this world, why not try to hold on to him? Jesus is the best thing or will be the best thing that has ever happened to you if you allow him to be.

Many people is waiting on God to come and get them and God is waiting on them to come to him, for he has said in his word, come all ye that s heavy laden and I will give you rest for your soul.

Sometime our love ones, our husbands, our wives, mothers, fathers, sisters or brothers forsake us, but God is always there. He will never forsake us and we should never lose sight of God regardless of who walks away from us. We have to hold on to our sanctification. Hold on to the one that loves us unconditionally.

We don’t teach our children about the things that are bad, so they are naïve most times to things that are going on in the world. Too many of us Christians, born again believers are lost in the house. We start on the inside of the Church, but we end up on the outside of the house. How do we find our way back to God, once you have been away? You go from church to church trying to find the peace you once had and many more times than often you don’t get back to that place you once had, but some time you never really get back to your rightful place in God. You are lost in the house like an outsider because you are yielding to the wrong things that bound you up. Sin dries you out both naturally and spiritually. Ezekiel in Ezekiel 37:11, then he said unto me, son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel; behold they say, our bones are dried, and our hope is lost, we are cut off from our parts.

Most times we have not been taught. Proverbs 22:6, says train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it. Called to redeem man from sin. Called to give life to the fruit of the world again from it’s rotten state, but because we are bound, we cannot loose any one else. Therefore because they were lost, but found, they become the first and we become the last. The first shall be last and the last first. In that we knew God, sinned, did not repent and stop our sin, we became an outsider, lost in the house. We were called or chosen to save a nation but instead we are losing our own souls.

To many Christians are lost in the house. Lost because they are like an outsider looking in. How do you find your way back to the Lord, once you have been away from the Church? Most people just go from church to church looking for that joy, that peace you once had, but sometime you never really get back to your rightful place in God. You have yield to the wrong things that bound you up. Sin dries you up and you have joined the ranks of the walking dead, both naturally and spiritually.

You have to once again seek God out, he said to seek and you shall find, knock and the door shall be opened unto you. Be careful from now on where you pitch your tenth. Seek him early, believe on him again, search diligently for him. Seek him with a true love for him in your heart, a repentant heart, not with the wrong intents and motives, for he will know if you are sincere or if you are just trying to use him. Do you understand what Jesus is speaking to you? Are you confused? Do you yet possess within you the spirit that will come alive with Jesus?

Be strong and have a strong will for what you do and do keep what you need to keep and give up not just for Lent season what you need to but everyday keep God’s charge, his statutes, his judgments, and his commandments. What God has told you to do, obey and do.
