The Risen LORD

Christ has risen. He has risen indeed! Hallelujah! Jesus Christ is LORD. I will boldly proclaim that this is true. GOD sent His Son our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ to be the Saviour of the world. He came to die for our sins. From the beginning of time He knew that He had to do this. He knew that He (GOD Himself) would come down to earth- in the Person of Jesus Christ- and rescue His people from their sins. For centuries people have turned their back on GOD, while He remained steadfastly faithful to them. Never forsaking His covenant with them (His chosen people). (will you do the same?)
I believe that whilst Jesus was dying on the cross, He called out our names to the Father in prayer. He knew each and every one of us before we were even born. Before we took our first step, He was there, egging us on. Encouraging us, like a proud Father. Planning our future. But not all of us are following His plan. Sometimes we just need to take a step back and ask ourselves "Am I following the will of GOD in my life?" "Am I seeking His face, His kingdom, His righteousness above all else?" "Is life my first priority or is the Giver of life my first priority?" If you can answer these questions then you are on the first step to recovery or improvement. We hide from GOD. Many of us don't want to admit it, but alot of the time when GOD request our service our first reaction is that of a student at school avoiding the teacher's gaze as he or she asks for a volunteer to answer a question. "What, me Lord?" We bury our head in the sand until we think the coast is clear. Then we get a reality check, GOD has not forgotten what He has required of us. And He is not going to give anybody else  the task that we should be doing. We all have heard the call of GOD. Each call is different. Each purpose varies. But one thing that they do have in common is that they all required our full attention, our 100 percent committment, and our whole hearted service rendered to the Lord, who repays all our faithful service in due time.
