Names and descriptions of God #5

Alright, let us look at some more of these thought provoking names and descriptions of God!



So who do you claim as your leader? Your spouse? The President? Your Boss? Your Pastor? Or Whom? Well for the follower of Jesus this should be the first answer out of your mouth:



Our Leader-2 Chronicles 13:12



12 God is with us; he is our leader. His priests with their trumpets will sound the battle cry against you. People of Israel, do not fight against the Lord, the God of your ancestors, for you will not succeed.”



Am I ever thankful God is my leader, how about you? Who else are we to trust and count on that will NEVER let us down? God is the only answer.



This next one is awesome to me!!!



Light of Life/World -John 8:12

12 Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”



A reminder for us this morning that this world is full of darkness (sin) and sadly until we surrender to Jesus so are we. BUT we have hope and that hope is found only in Jesus Christ. He is the light in this dark world....the only light. He then if allowed by us will come into our lives and become our light which we then are to shine to others who are still in the dark! Is your light shinning? Oh how we need all the light we can get in this dark cold world, thank you Jesus for providing that light!



Lord of the Harvest-Matthew 9:38

38 therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.”



This falls right in line with being a light in this world as talked about earlier. Once we have Jesus, we share Jesus (laborers), as God sends us out into the world. All followers of Jesus are to share Him with others. It is not an option! Jesus said "GO!" We are to plant the seeds and God does the harvesting! I am so thankful He harvested my soul, aren't you? If we truely are thankful them we need to be laboring for Him as He has told us to do. Chances are somebody sowed the seed in your life, we are to do the same to others, after all they need the light just like we did!



We are the messengers:



Romans 10:14

14 How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching?



All of us are to preach the good news of Jesus! Then the Lord can harvest lost souls for the clutches of hell! Be obedient and share Jesus!



So today we seen our God is Our Leader, Our Light, and the Lord of the Harvest. So thankful our God does so many things all to redeem those who are will to surrender their lives to Him!
