In the spiritual fields it is no different, GOD summons people who have the characteristics necessary to occupy a certain position in the GOSPEL, and these people need to study much the word of God, to be up to date, and to develop their spiritual activities within the PLAN OF GOD, and guided and directed by the HOLY SPIRIT.
The HOLY SPIRIT needs people to develop the GOSPEL, so that the PLAN of SALVATION reaches as many people as possible, it is necessary that the preachers of the GOSPEL are fit and able to perform such a great work.
Each one within the project that he set out to accomplish within the GOSPEL, some work with modest goals, and are modestly dedicated to the activity of the GOSPEL.
Others already do bold projects, large projects that need efficient methods, and advanced techniques to reach as many people as possible.
But for GOD, let each one do what he set out in his heart.
But once he accepted the CALL, and made a purpose to bring as many people into the KINGDOM OF GOD.
They can not give up or go back.
You can not reduce the project, make a new project with only 50% of the previous project.
When the person who was called, gives up the target.
The spiritual forces that have been called upon to carry out such a project will have to reduce their number of collaborators by half, and their intensity of attention.
So that the Lord Jesus may help us, we also have to do our part, and never give up.
If possible, increasingly expand the project.
So that a greater number of souls can be conquered.
In today's study, let's talk about the apostle Paul.
Paul reported here, in his first letter to the Corinthians, in chapter 9, verses 16 to 24.
Paul speaking of himself, he said in verse 16: "FOR HIS ANNOUNCING THE GOSPEL, HE COULD NOT GLORY, EVEN IF I KNOW THE DEGREE OF THE RELEVANCE OF THE POST OF THE APOSTLE OF THE GOSPEL ".
He said he could not boast because it is an obligation that was imposed on him.
And it is a job that he would perform.
But he said: "I WILL OF ME!
IF I DO NOT ANNOUNCE THE GOSPEL".
Dear brothers and sisters, this phrase: "I AM OF ME!
IF I DO NOT ANNOUNCE THE GOSPEL".
This word moved our brain because we are also preachers.
And like Paul, we can not boast of the position we achieve.
For it is our duty to preach the gospel.
And also "AI OF US, IF WE DO NOT ANNOUNCE THE GOSPEL".
The HOLY SPIRIT is revealing to us that if we do not announce the GOSPEL, many souls will get lost.
And it will be our fault.
Now we understand why Paul said "AI OF ME!".
Imagine brothers, many people get lost because we do not perform our task because we stop doing GOD's work to live our own life, and we do not care about the souls that are perishing. It's a matter of life and death, it's as if a lifeguard is on the beach and watching people drowning, turn their backs and go elsewhere. See how serious this is.
The Apostle Paul continues to give details of his trajectory, he says thus: "THAT HE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO DO THIS WILL, HE WOULD HAVE TO DO WORK WITH GOOD WILL AND JOY, BECAUSE IF HE DID WELL DONE THE WORK, HE WILL RECEIVE THE PRIZE , BUT IF HE WOULD FAIL, THE CALL OF HIM WOULD NOT GO TO HOPE, AND HE SAID HE WORK WITH SO MUCH LOVE IN THE GOSPEL, THAT COULD NOT COVER ANYTHING OF ANYONE, HE DID NOT GET ANYTHING, JUST GAVE HIM. "
In verse 20, he says that he made himself as a Jew, to win the Jews. He was made as if he were under the law, to gain those who were under the law. He also made himself as if he were without law, to win those who were without law: "I HAVE FAILED, TO WIN THE WEAKNESSES, I HAVE EVERYTHING FOR EVERYONE TO MAKE SOME."
In verse 23: "I DO ALL THIS BY LOVE TO THE GOSPEL TO ALSO BE A PARTICIPANT OF THE GOSPEL, AND BE AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE GOSPEL."
Dear Brothers, Paul did his best for the Gospel at the end of his life, Paul was aware that he had conquered the LIFE CROWN, that his name was in the BOOK OF LIFE. And the GOSPEL OF PAUL was so efficient that it conquered the world. And today, the GOSPEL OF PAUL still saves millions and millions of people.
We of the LIBERTOS FOR THE LOVE OF CHRIST, we are also aware of our responsibility before the GOSPEL, WE WILL NOT GIVE UP, WE WILL NOT DO IT WITH WILL, BUT LET'S DO IT WITH JOY, WE WILL MEET OUR GOAL TO MAKE A MILLION SOULS FOR GOD , AND WE WANT TO OVERCOME IT.
That is why we say: "IF WE DO NOT PRAY THE GOSPEL AND DO NOT FULFILL OUR GOALS AND OUR GOALS, BECAUSE IF WE DO NOT MAKE THEM THOUSANDS OF SOULS, WE WILL NOT BE SAVED AND WE WILL BE LIABLE FOR THAT."
AMEN GLORY TO GOD.
