There is Help at the Gate

The life each one of us is living is precious to God. It is Almighty God, our Heavenly father, that made us and blew his breath of life into us. When we entered this world, Jesus was there to ignite us. Yes Jesus, lights every man that comes into this world!

We are God’s creation. God wants us to hear what he is saying to us. Scripture tells us in Genesis 1:25 that God blessed man and told them to “be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it.” God tells us to take dominion.

Genesis 1:28 (KJV)  “And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.”

Jesus says to us, ye are to be the salt of the earth. Salt makes food taste better, but also preserves, salt heals. Each of us are to be impactful to those near and dear to us. If we are salt, then we, like salt can give what makes better.

Jesus came to heal those that are sick and lost. Jesus said he was sent to preach the kingdom of God. This gospel of the kingdom of God is to be preached to every creature.

Today, we are in need of the word of God. The people of this world today are in need of the good news of Jesus Christ. We live with these people. The people that need the word of God are in our homes. We live under the same roof with them. These people that need the word of God are in our communities. They visit churches. They are on the highways, and in the by-ways.

We see to it that they have food, clothing, shelter, and physical health care. But let us also see to it that they have spiritual care. Let each of us see to it that they receive the word of God.

If your candle is lit, let it shine. Let it shine! Put a lit candle where the light from it shines forth. The world is hungry for the living Word. Jesus is the key. Do not speak the word of God in vain. Speak the word of God, believing what it says.

Scripture tells us in Hosea 4:6 that we, men, perish, due to a lack of knowledge. We have God’s word. Pray and understand what it says. Then we can mingle faith with the word of God and have the victory.

Hosea 4:6 (KJV)  “My  people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.”

We have been blessed with the things of this world; but seek after what will surely help us. Give to others what will surely help them. The name of Jesus. There is power in the name of Jesus.

In the text Act 3:1-9, The 6th verse says “When we enter into the gate know, on who to focus and on whose name to call.”

Do you know Jesus? Do you know who Jesus is? Jesus is the word that became flesh and dwelt among us. Know that man can only get back to the father is through his Son, Jesus the Christ. Jesus is the door to life everlasting!

At every junction in this life, Jesus is wanting and able to help us. If we need help; if you come looking for help, look to Jesus. Believe what Jesus says. In the name of Jesus rise up and walk. Jesus is at the gate. He blew the breath of life into us. Jesus will come again and receive us unto himself.

Enter into his gates with thanksgiving and into his courts with praises. Thank God! Thank him because you trust what he says. We all need something. Focus on Jesus. Thank Jesus for what he has already done for us. Thank Jesus for what he has promised to us.
