MESSENGERS OF GOD!

MESSENGERS OF GOD


Do you KNOW that as 21^st century
Apostles=entrusted with the WORD
Of God


That we ARE to SPREAD
The word of God=if not
With our WORDS


At least by LIVING LIVES of love-
Forgiveness=and KINDNESS?


We are MESSENGERS OF GOD
We are ENTRUSTED
With the WORD of God=
We are to SPREAD
The word of God


“He sends forth
His COMMAND to the earth


Swiftly RUNS his word” Psalm 147:15


“SWIFTLY runs his word” conjures up
The IMAGE of an
Olympic torch bearer


But in GOD'S KINGDOM=the host city
Is the ENTIRE WORLD=and EACH one of us
Is the torch bearer


To CARRY the good news
To SPREAD the good news
Of the LORD


MESSENGERS of God


Spreading the WORDS=
RUNNING with the word
We are=MESSENGERS OF GOD!


“ But those
Who HOPE in the Lord
Will RENEW their strength


They will SOAR
On wings like EAGLES


They will RUN
And not grow weary
They will walk
And NOT grow faint” Isaiah 40:31


“Do you know
That in a RACE
ALL the runners RUN=


But only one
Gets the PRIZE
RUN in such a way
As to get the PRIZE” 1 Corinthians 9:24


YES=RUN to win the PRIZE=
And the prize of GOD'S LOVE


To WIN=all we need
To do=
Is LIVE a life of love=
Of forgiveness=and of KINDNESS


SPREAD the word=
With your life=Be a MESSENGER
OF GOD


When we RECEIVE the word
Of God into our own life=
We receive the HOSPITALITY
Of God's word=and we want
To SPREAD and to share it


Be a TORCH BEARER
For God=
ALLOW his MESSAGE of LOVE to
SEEP into your being


And RUN swiftly with
The WORDS OF LIFE


“So the word of God=spread=
The number of disciples
In Jerusalem-
Increased rapidly


And a LARGE number
Of priests
Became OBEDIENT to the FAITH” Acts 6:7


“As for other matters=
Brothers and sisters=
PRAY for us


That the MESSAGE
Of the Lord
May SPREAD rapidly
And be HONORED


Just as it was with you” 2 Thessalonians 3:1


Dear Lord=we PRAY=as torchbearers
Of your WORD=we MAY always
Be EXAMPLES of your love and WORD
In today's world


In Jesus' name
