"ONE CAN CHANGE THE WORLD"
Penned by Wendy Songy - August, 2009
ONE DID - HIS NAME IS JESUS CHRIST...AND WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE HIS HANDS AND FEET SINCE HE GAVE HIS UP FOR US!
DON'T BE FOOLED INTO THINKING "WHAT CAN I DO TO HELP - TO CHANGE MY WORLD - I'M INSIGNIFICANT - I'M JUST ONE PERSON..."
JESUS HIMSELF SAID IN JOHN 14:12-13: "I TELL YOU THE TRUTH - ANYONE WHO HAS FAITH IN ME WILL DO WHAT I HAVE BEEN DOING. HE WILL DO EVEN GREATER THINGS THAN THESE BECAUSE I AM GOING TO THE FATHER AND I WILL DO WHATEVER YOU ASK IN MY NAME SO THAT THE SON MAY BRING GLORY TO THE FATHER. YOU MAY ASK ME FOR ANYTHING IN MY NAME AND I WILL DO IT."
WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE A LAMP ON A STAND- A CITY ON A HILL - TO OUR NEIGHBORS, OUR LOVED ONES, OUR CO-WORKERS AND EVEN THE STRANGERS AROUND US (SAVED AND UNSAVED). WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE - NO, MUST BE - AN EXAMPLE AS A PARENT IS CALLED TO BE TO A CHILD - AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT BEING CHRISTIAN OR CHRIST-LIKE REALLY MEANS. MANY OF US WOULDN'T EVEN GIVE UP A MOVIE OR DINNER OUT MUCH LESS A SECOND VACATION OR A REMODEL IN OUR HOME TO HELP SOMEONE IN NEED! WE NEED TO DO WHATEVER IT TAKES! WE TEND TO GIVE UNTIL WE FEEL GOOD ABOUT IT - NOT UNTIL IT HURTS AND REQUIRES SACRIFICE (IF NECESSARY).
IS JESUS PROUD OF HOW WE ARE LIVING OUR LIVES IN HIS HONOR...WITH GRATITUDE FOR HIS TREMENDOUS SACRIFICE? HOW CAN WE AS CHRISTIANS BE CONTENT WITH SO LITTLE SACRIFICE IN OUR DAY-TO-DAY LIVES WHEN HE SACRIFICED SO MUCH?!!
BE A PART - THE PART GOD MEANT FOR YOU TO BE IN HIS PLAN - IT IS TIME FOR CHRISTIANS TO CHANGE - CHANGE FOR CHRIST!

AS WE WORSHIP THIS WEEKEND IN REMEMBERENCE OF HIS SACRIFICE....LET US PRAY:
“LORD - IN REMEMBERANCE OF ALL YOU’VE DONE - IN HONOR OF ALL YOU ARE - PLEASE USE US AS YOUR INSTRUMENTS - FOR YOUR CHURCH TO WORK TOGETHER IN HARMONY AND BE A SYMPHONY OF LOVE TO THIS HURTING WORLD AROUND US! LET US BE THE SYMBOL OF YOUR LOVE AS THEY FEEL AS IF THEIR WORLD IS CRASHING DOWN AROUND THEM - LET YOUR LOVE BE MUSIC TO THEIR EARS! PLEASE HELP US TO HELP THEM IN YOUR NAME TO BRING YOU GLORY AND TO BRING THE LOST TO YOU THROUGH YOUR SON JESUS!!!”
