Sowing in Suffering

“May the Lamb that was slain receive the reward of His suffering.”

This was a call from two missionaries that sold themselves into slavery to share the Gospel to slaves in the West Indies. This became the call of Moravian missions.

The mission has not ended. 

There are many today fighting with hard hearted and rebellious hearts. Their hearts are hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. 

The sin committed against them. The sin they committed against God and others. 

They need to experience the Gospel. They need to see how much they have been forgiven so they can extend that same forgiveness and release the bitterness they are holding. They need to begin with receiving forgiveness for their sins. 

How do they experience this Love of God? Through God’s children, His vessels of mercy and grace. God’s kindness leads to repentance. This does not mean we allow them to continue in sin, but we love them through it and remain in the throne room often to pray in agreement with Jesus Christ who is interceding for them. 

We humble ourselves through the fight and remain in Christ allowing His strength to work in and through us for His purposes. Even when they hurl insults at us and break our hearts. That’s sharing in the suffering of Christ. We must not fight in the flesh, but we must pick up our cross daily and follow Jesus and experience His power through our weakness. 

God does not wish anyone would perish but all would come to the knowledge of the truth. Do you believe that? 

Who are you fighting on your knees for beLoved? Do not stop sowing God’s Word and watering them with your tears….keep the faith and remain steadfast. 

Psalm 126:5-6

“Those who sow in tears shall harvest with joyful shouting.

One who goes here and there weeping, carrying his bag of seed, shall indeed come again with a shout of joy, bringing his sheaves with him.”

Glorify God, Magnify Christ, Edify the Brethren.
