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… 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 its 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…
ALL FOR HIS GLORY!
