Dearly
beloved,
Now is the time for us to be awakened in our thoughts, stand up and arise for God. Apostle Paul says, “And do this, understanding the present time. The hour has come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed” (Romans 13:11).
In this world, we have an ever-increasing responsibility to win souls. Every day, lakhs of babies are born. The population keeps on increasing. The devil is roaming here and there looking for whom he can devour. He is working overtime to see that the doors now open to evangelization are closed. At this hour, we must pray for others’ salvation and arise and shine for God.
Recently, I read a story about a dog. Its master ran a shop. Every day, the dog would accompany its master to the shop and return home with him. One night, the shop caught fire and was burnt down. The next morning, the shopkeeper found that all the goods had been burnt, and along with them, his dog also had been burnt to death. The dog had been fast asleep when the shop was closed and so was trapped inside. It was burnt to death by the flames.
We read in Hebrews 6:11,12: “We want each of you to show this same diligence to the very end, in order to make your hope sure. We do not want you to become lazy, but to imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised.” The Bible says in Proverbs 11:30, “He who wins souls is wise.” A wise man makes use of every opportunity to wins souls for God. God shall surely honor him and reward him.
