GREATER RIVER LIFE: He's Knocking on Your Door

Greetings to you all my dear friends and followers on this blog, i thank God for technology and where its taking us..but most importantly for the communication of the gospel and creating a platform for even the 'small peoples' to share to a local, national and global audience which would be otherwise very hard if not impossible.
So today as you may have noticed on our title, 'He's Knocking on your Door' you might be wondering who is knocking, why is he knocking and whose door are you talking about? well this message is inspired by numerous events happening in our world today and i will do my best to relate it with the word of God.
As you must be noticing our world is falling apart, especially here in the U.S there is a lot of deaths from gun related violence in the past few weeks almost at a repetitive rate, talk about the mass shooting in a movie theater here in Aurora, Colorado which is actually 5 minutes from my residence, the shooting in Wisconsin at the Sikh temple and many others as you have heard and read in the media.
That's just a piece of the pie, there's alot more happening for example the protests against the Chick a Filla restaurants for their support of biblical marriage, i cant help but wonder in negative amazement how our world is changing, minds have been completely been convinced that 'wrong' is the new 'right' and to also realize that its now the coolest thing to be gay and also be proud of it in broad daylight!!! Flash back 50 years ago at least where i come from it was almost unheard of.. or even something we just read about in the biblical account of Sodom and Gomorah. The other day in a popular entertainment magazine i saw a bunch of handsome and talented male musicians posing with their 'kids' as mom and dad..this is ridiculous, unacceptable and a reproach to the institution of the God ordained family and most especially to the church of Christ which is so sleepy, quiet and even compromising with the situation instead of condemning it publicly.
We are so afraid of losing popularity and donations that we have let things happen before our very own eyes..and that brings me to the point that GOD IS KNOCKING ON OUR DOORS!!! yes church we might not be the cause of the stuff and chaos in our world but we need to wake up and practice our faith, speak against the evil that is surrounding us.
God is knocking on your door usher, he is knocking on your door husband, he is knocking on your door school teacher , he is knocking on your door, preacherman, he is knocking on your door handyman etc..etc..

The scriptures say in 1Peter 4:17 17For it is time for judgment to begin with the family of God; and if it begins with us, what will the outcome be for those who do not obey the gospel of God?

You and I can do something, we can start with bringing back prayer into our homes, they have taken it from our schools but not from our kitchen tables or living rooms, how about those prayers with our kids before bedtime, how about the morning prayer before mom and dad went to work?

Holy scriptures say in 2 Chronicles 7:14 ,'if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.'

So there you go!!! We can start with a simple thing like prayer and i tell you a family can be transformed, a circle of friends can be changed, a marriage can be restored, a nation can be brought back to its knees in surrender to God and our world can be a better place.

But how sure are you that's gonna work? this is the dotcom generation!!! i tell you one thing 2,000 years ago a group of 120 unschooled and despised fishermen prayed and waited on God and were filled with the Holy Spirit and guess what? millions today have been touched by the obedience and sacrifice of those precious disciples of Jesus.

God is knocking on your door my friend... and mine as well..let us open up and make our families, schools, work places and world a better place.
