And many nations
shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, and to
the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will
walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the LORD
from Jerusalem.
Micah
4:2
There will come a time when all will
come to say let us go up to the mountain of
the Lord… This message encourages the believer in Christ to continue
his/her pursuit of knowing Him in the most intimate of ways… So many are
confounded with the laws of the land that they have begun to turn from the path
of Christ and follow the thoughts of mankind… I declare to you today to stay the
course, continue to fight the good fight of faith knowing this that your labour is not in vain… Micah says
many nations shall come; sadly, this teaches us today that not everyone will
turn to the Lord, there will be some who will simply miss the opportunity of
salvation which has been placed before them… There are some people on this earth
whom you will encounter today and will see there face no more, there are some
who will reject Christ and will be begging and pleading for a second chance like
Lazarus or even find themselves asking for a warning to be sent to their friends
of a similar mindset… This is a sobering reality for us to make sure that our
houses are in order; however, this message also brings another point to mind in
that we must display Christ wherever we go and in whatever we do… We are assured
that some will miss out, but knowing that many nations shall come, lets me know that
there will be others that will recognize the errors of their ways and will come
to know Christ by their encounter with you… They will see all that you endure
and how you have remained faithful to Christ, they will see the blessing being
bestowed upon your life as you are delivered and will come to you and say
let us go up the mountain of the Lord, and to
the house of the God of Jacob… People will be taught by your
experiences and the way you handle situations… They will see the mistakes they
have made when they see the course which you are traveling and how the hand of
God guides you… This passage lets us know that there is a day ordained before
the foundation of this earth when Jesus would come back a second time; this
passage also suggest that between now and then our task is to let our light
shine so that others may see the glow and have light provided to see the
darkness that is around them… There are people in your life which are waiting to
watch your faith in action; they will want to obtain knowledge from the Father
and will seek that He will teach them of His
ways… You are a prized jewel in the will of God which is why the
enemy is attacking you at every possible turn… There are lives to be touched,
eyes to be opened and ears to receive a word and it all starts with you… This
passage really drives home this point when Micah goes on to say …and we will walk in His paths; because it
lets me know that there are some people out there who have not taken steps in
knowing Christ because they don’t know the first step to take…
You have to know
something about God in order to seek and follow after Him… Your task today is
simple, keep praising through all situations, keep praying amidst every trial
and hardship and keep your eyes fastened on the Lord even though things will be
clamoring for your attention… There are many on
this earth walking to their own beat of their own drum, many that try to defy
laws and do things according to their way of thinking… Micah
teaches us today that there will indeed come a time when many nations will say
“Come…” After trying things their own way and not receiving the results they
expected, their are many will come to know that Christ is the ONLY way and that
peace is only obtained through Him… The bible declares that, “at the name of Jesus, every knee shall bow and every
tongue shall confess…” Micah reaffirms that message today! There are
many countries right now today that don’t even allow bibles to be carried into
their lands! Many people who have the own views of religion and especially Jesus
Christ; we have seen many protest against His name and many that degrade His
sacrifice by calling Him a profit and messenger of the Lord! These people are
denying the truth of Christ and what He has done for all mankind… They have
chosen to forgo their faith hoping to find pleasure through other gods! Micah
assures us today that the word of God will not be stopped, the message of Christ
will go forth and that many nations will come to realize who the only true and
wise God is! Micah says that the nations will say, “let us go up to the mountain
of the Lord…” We must let others know that there is ONLY one mountain; there is
only one sovereign Lord, only one whose name is above all others… This God was
the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob… When we turn to the Lord, He will no doubt hear our
faintest cry and teaches us His will of our lives… What Micah is
telling you today is that it is not to late… It’s not to late to turn to the
Lord, it’s not to late to approach His mountain and call upon His name… While on
earth Jesus informed His disciples and followers several times of all the other
gods and false worship that would take place… We see on the day of Pentecost
that when the word of the Lord was spoken to those gathered on one accord that
Peter stood up and God’s gospel began it’s journey throughout the world; every
man will come to know and understand that Jesus died on the cross and that He is
the only God that lives today and forevermore… Christ desire is that all should
be saved and His word must go forth so that we can let others have the chance to
inherit Eternal Life! A lot of people have denied Christ simply because they
don’t know him; your testimony can go a long way to saving a soul, your life
example can be the beacon light that that person needs to be shined into their
lives! Christ will return, but right now the
time for us has come to let the nations know who we serve and the power that He
possesses…
BE
BLESSED!!!
