“No Lethargy In The Kingdom”
Saturday, October 26, 2024
Key Verse
“For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you” (Acts 17:23).TEXT — Acts 17:22-33
Message
A 2023 report by the World Population Review stated that 2.38 billion people were adherents of Christianity in 2020 out of a world population of 7.7 billion people. Many religions were identified, but 1.19 billion people were not affiliated with any religion. It is clear that many people are still without the salvation that comes through accepting the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Apostle Paul’s four missionary journeys covered about 10,000 miles. He seized every opportunity available in synagogues, homes, outdoors, and other places to preach the gospel. At the Mars’ Hill forum, he witnessed to the educated but spiritually lost Athenians about the true God and the Person of Jesus. There was no room for lethargy in expanding the Kingdom of God.
Paul’s passion at Mar’s Hill reveals that most learned people lack the knowledge of salvation, and need to be taught about the gospel. This should be our urgent task just like the attitude of the Lord Jesus Christ while on earth. He stated, “I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work” (John 9:4). Our mandate to preach the gospel to the world remains unaccomplished until the whole world knows Christ.
Like Paul, we must be prepared to give a lucid explanation of the gospel to the ignorant religious. As you step out today, be sure to utilise every opportunity to preach the gospel and serve the Lord. We must not relent in giving our time, talent and treasure for the propagation of the gospel in our immediate environment and to the end of the earth. There is no room for lethargy in God’s Kingdom. We must occupy till He comes.
Thought for the day
Live to labour for Christ until He returns.
