God Has Chosen You.., So Get To Steppin (part 2)

“Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.” Isaiah 1:18

Have you ever dropped ketchup (the red one…we must specify these days!) on something white?  The stain is quite apparent and if not treated properly will never release its hold.  The item which has received the stain could be considered ruined, worthless and now good for nothing. 

When we refer to the key scripture we can observe that we are given a ray of hope. As Isaiah begins to pen this book of the Bible, he is attempting to relay to Judah God’s ability of forgiveness and restoration.  He was informing them that it didn’t matter what effect that their sin had produced – God would forgive them and restore to their former state. 

This is the thought that God wants to “drive home” today.  Don’t permit yesterday’s mistakes hinder you from fulfilling today’s promises.  Don’t live in the past.  Sometimes we must refer to the past and remember the lessons learn.  However, we are never to permit our past or present sinful experiences, delay us from moving forward in God’s plans for us.  Far too often people will state that they will do the work of the Lord….when they “get it together”.  They fail to realize that if they couldn’t keep themselves from committing a sin – that surely won’t be able to pull themselves out!  So…. People of God….. no further delays!  God has chosen you….so get to steppin!

We must remember that:

1. Everything that you have experienced in life has prepared you for the ministry that God has called you into.  (Note: Every child of God has been chosen to minister to someone and therefore    has a ministry!)

2. When you fall – don’t allow the enemy to keep you from doing the work and will of the Lord.  Get back up and keep it moving!

3. Daily ask the Lord for strength to be a living witness to someone.

4. Don’t allow the opinions and words of others keep you from performing the work of the Lord.

You have the ability to be used and to be:… remembered like Noah; favored like Moses; honored like Mary; used like Paul; victorious like the Israelites; prosperous like Isaac; promoted like Joseph;  intervene for you like Esther;  protected as Daniel was; healed  like Nahaam; answered like Elijah; and above all…….anointed like David.  Just as God used each of these – He wants to use you!

 Always remember throughout your life time…. No matter what your age may be….. God has not called you home yet, because your work isn’t completed ….so since you’re still here…..… just know that…….
