Everyday is a new day with Jesus. He wants us to bring lost souls to him.
We should not let anything hinder us, and we must be willing to give up our lives for the sake of others. Jesus called four men while they were fishing. In Matthew 4:19, Jesus said to them, follow me and I will make you fishers of men. The men obeyed Jesus and followed him. We must be like these men willing to give up the things we like the most and follow him.
Leave everything behind
And follow me
People are hungry
Starving more physically and spiritually
I need you to give my salvation to mankind
Everyone you meet
Tell them about me
Tell them that I died to bring sinners to repentance
In Hebrews 12; 1 Wherefore Seeing we are also compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us with patience the race that is set before us. (KJV)
You can’t be afraid of their faces
Many will reject you
Many will call you names
Nevertheless, you must journey on
This race is not given to the swift or strong, but unto he that endures unto the end.
You must look unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith.
.
You can’t do this on your on
You must learn my word
Read it
Study it
And Pray
Mediate day and night
We must be about God’s business.
God is calling us now to go fishing for him. Are you listening?
