Luke 12:48-50
[48] But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.
[49] I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I if it be already kindled?
[50] But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished!
It binds the calling to our heart, the soul to its task, and keeps us striving for what has already been done in our lives and for what is to come!
John 9:4-5
[4] I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.
[5] As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
It urges us to hurry and make haste while the spirit (light) is about you to be able to carry out the good works that God has placed in you to carry out!
Acts 4:19-20
[19] But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye.
[20] For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.
It makes the message that is within your heart so imperative to carry forth! I’m telling you, when the spirit of God flows about you, you cannot help but do what is bid unto you! You will want to help and reach out to this world and the abundance of needs about us.
1 Corinthians 9:14-17
[14] Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel.
[15] But I have used none of these things: neither have I written these things, that it should be so done unto me: for it were better for me to die, than that any man should make my glorying void.
[16] For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!
[17] For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me.
As we read this, it should sound a warning deep in our hearts especially if we have been idle. We cannot make a difference being idle or disobedient! To make a difference takes action!
Amos 3:3-8
[3] Can two walk together, except they be agreed?
[4] Will a lion roar in the forest, when he hath no prey? will a young lion cry out of his den, if he have taken nothing?
[5] Can a bird fall in a snare upon the earth, where no gin is for him? shall one take up a snare from the earth, and have taken nothing at all?
[6] Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it?
[7] Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.
[8] The lion hath roared, who will not fear? the Lord GOD hath spoken, who can but prophesy?
The spirit of God calls like the voice of a lion, with boldness into your life, so be bold and proud of who you are in the Lord! Have power and confidence in your walk and calling and be not moved by things that would try to destroy it!
