107 “…until the Lord has given your brothers rest, as he has given you…”
Joshua 1:15
The people of God stand as a unit showing the faithfulness of the Lord, therefore we are to be faithful to each other. We do not sit down and rest while our fellow believers are struggling with the fight against the powers of darkness. The Israelites of old were duty bounds to fight with their fellow tribesmen to conquer all enemies and settle in the promised land. They could not rest until every countryman and woman were safe and secure. So also we fight to ensure that all the elect people of God are gathered in and settled forever in the land of promise – heaven.
We cannot cease from evangelism which is the job of every saint of God not just financing causes but entering into the fight for souls that happens all around us every day. We cannot tell who God has chosen so we throw out the offer of salvation to every soul we can see. We use every opportunity to witness and point to the truths about God and the reality of the doctrines of God. We must warn people of the threat of punishment and the realities of the heavenly home. We must give all around us the opportunity to believe and make a choice for Christ. God will honour all our efforts and we will lay up treasure in heaven.
“This Good News of the Kingdom will be preached in the whole world for a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.”
Matthew 24:14
Time is short and eternity is long and we must bear the witness to the end of the earth.
