I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept My Word, and hast not denied My Name. Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee. Because thou hast kept the Word of My patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown. Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of My GOD, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the Name of My GOD, and the name of the city of My GOD, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from My GOD: and I will write upon him My new Name. (Rev 3:8-12)
Our Lord knows us and knows what is best for us. When He opens a door for ministry, for service, or for witnessing we are to be obedient to His Word and His Spirit and go where He leads. We may have struggles in this world, and many opportunities that the Lord puts before us will require sacrifice and perseverance, but He is faithful and will not give us more than we can bear. We can do all things He has for us in His strength and power.
He wants us to minister to those that are hurting, in service and in love, while not condoning their sinful lifestyle, we reach out to show them the Saviour who can deliver them. He wants us to disciple one another, so we can all grow in grace and the knowledge of our Lord, while being conformed to the image of His dear Son. He wants us to witness to this lost and dying world, sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ so they may believe, and believing have Life in His Name.
For GOD is not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to repentance and the knowledge of the Truth. Jesus loves you and wants to establish a covenant relationship with you that is real and personal. Believe His finished and perfect work on the Cross of Calvary was sufficient for your sIn and surrender to Him on His terms and He will give you a brand new life of discipleship and fellowship with Him that is abundant and everlasting. He is the door, and He invites you to step into eternal life through faith in His Name.
In Christ,
