The Agape Letters
February 11, 2005 In Due Season!
2 Timothy 4:1-3
In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and in view of his appearing and his kingdom, I give you this charge: Preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage–with great patience and careful instruction. For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.
Without any knowledge concerning the Gospel of Jesus Christ, all mankind has a desire to hear and learn of NEW things!
It is quite possible that the curiousity which Paul mentions in his writings, will be an even greater obstacle facing Believers in spreading the WORD of God.
The very mention of Christ is casual conversation seems to pits Believers in Christ against the ever GROWING sentiment of self religion taught in many NEW age religions.
Warnings of these teachings were given many times by Jesus to HIS disciples.
Planting of HIS SEED began during the SEASON of the 1st century church!
This is consistent with the preserved records of history contained in the New Testament.
We must PLANT SEED up to the TIME of HARVEST!
Another SEASON of fertilizing, nurturing, and preparation for HARVEST is currently being fulfilled.
Father God DID NOT invest the LIFE
of HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON
expecting nor receiving a CROP FAILURE!!!
The SEASON approaching for which Believers in Christ have toiled for 2000 years is a FULFILLMENT of Prophecy.
The Most High God knows the SEASON of the HARVEST!
HE will supply SON SHINE and spiritual RAIN on HIS crop of Believers!!
HIS Waves of Glory gathered into the storehouse of Heaven!!!
AMEN
