Message from Bishop
May 2001
And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.
Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit,
teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age."
Matthew 28:18-20 (NAS)

Noah, Joseph, Moses,
Samuel, Job, Daniel
What do all of
these men have in common?
All the above common traits are the obvious ones. However,
look deeper into each man.
- All stood alone
- No one was blessed until each went through tremendous personal
trials
|
The Lord was not looking at each man's abilities, He was
looking at each man's availability. Each man made himself available to the
Lord. Each man listened to God. God in turn listened and answered
their prayers. However, life for each man was not strife-free. Rather,
each man suffered greatly for following the Lord. Each man was blessed and
those around them were blessed, but the blessings came with hardships and
persecutions.
Read about each man. Read the Gospels of Mark, Matthew,
Luke and John. Read about the Acts of the Apostles. Read about the
hardships and the blessings. Read how each remained steadfast in their
faith with and in God. Then look at yourself. Each was an ordinary
person like yourself who made themselves available to the Lord. Ask the
Lord, "What can I do for you?" and experience what the Lord will do in
and with your life.
