The fields are ripe and ready unto harvest.
But are we ready to sow the seeds and to reap!
Have you prayed and prepared the ground to
plant?
Have you watered and fertilized with God’s word?
Did you work on developing a relationship first?
Yes, be ready to give an answer to everyone that
asks,
Couch your comments worthy of a question from
them!
Take care, to live your life with an urgency of
spirit.
Everyone wants and needs a hope to grasp on to.
Through you may Jesus Christ be their hope
today.
Amen
I Peter 3: 15 ~ “But sanctity Christ Jesus
in your hearts, always being ready to make a defence to every one who asks you
to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and
reverence.” NSA
We must not be afraid of the unsaved and what
they might do to us. God must be our fear “Sanctify the LORD of hosts Himself,
and let Him be your fear, and let Him be your dread” Isaiah
8:13
SANCTIFY is a command, the only command in 1
Peter 3:15. (Be ready) may carry the force of an imperative but it is not
strictly an imperative. Notice that the word BE is in italics. The believer is
told to set apart the Lord in his heart. This is the key phrase of the verse.
GOD has sanctified us (!Corinthians 1:2, 6:11.
We
in turn are to sanctify God. God has set us apart, we in turn are to set God
apart. God has sanctified us, set us apart for Himself in a special way, called
us to be His SAINTS (set apart ones, holy ones) what then does it mean for us
to sanctify God?
“Hallowed be Thy Name!” Lord, let your
Name be set apart! Let Thy glorious Person be adored and held in reverence! To
sanctify God means that we treat Him as holy.
IF you are going to communicate with man rightly
you must first have communion with God. If you are going to connect with
another person you must have a right connection with God. Before you speak to
men about God you need to speak to God about men.
