“BE EVER READY TO SHARE THE GOSPEL OF PEACE AT ALL TIMES!”

Saints of God Most High, hear God’s word for you today:

“Brothers, I want you to know that although I have been prevented from visiting you until now, I have often planned to do so, in order that I might have some fruit among you, just as I have among the other Gentiles. I owe a debt to both civilized Greeks and uncivilized people, to both the educated and the ignorant…” (Romans 1:13-15)

So, my dear brothers and sisters, please don’t interpret my failure to visit you as indifference because many times I’ve intended to come but have not been released to do so up to now.

For I long to enjoy a harvest of spiritual fruit among you, like I have experienced among the nations. Love obligates me to preach to everyone, to those who are among the elite and those who are among the outcasts, to those who are wise and educated as well as to those who are foolish and unlearned.

This is why I am so excited about coming to preach the wonderful message of Jesus to you in Rome, said Apostle Paul!

As Christians, we are faced with a great challenge. Apostle Paul declared that he is ready to meet the challenge.

He was ready with everything he had. (Romans 1:15)
He was ready for any service, any place. (Romans 1:15)
He was ready to the end of his life. (Philippians 3:13-16)
