The Call To Duty

The New King James Version Chapter 28

18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.

The New King James Version Chapter 2

8 Now Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died when he was one hundred and ten years old. 9 And they buried him within the border of his inheritance at Timnath Heres, in the mountains of Ephraim, on the north side of Mount Gaash. 10 When all that generation had been gathered to their fathers, another generation arose after them who did not know the LORD nor the work which He had done for Israel.

Ecclesiastes 12:13 KJV 1900

Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.

The New King James Version Chapter 12

13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter:

Fear God and keep His commandments,

For this is man’s all.

The Call OF Duty

The whole duty of man, is actually the first thing we must master in order to be effective.

Hebrews 5:12

New Living Translation Chapter 5

12 You have been believers so long now that you ought to be teaching others. Instead, you need someone to teach you again the basic things about God’s word.* You are like babies who need milk and cannot eat solid food. 13 For someone who lives on milk is still an infant and doesn’t know how to do what is right. 14 Solid food is for those who are mature, who through training have the skill to recognize the difference between right and wrong.

So let us stop going over the basic teachings about Christ again and again. Let us go on instead and become mature in our understanding. Surely we don’t need to start again with the fundamental importance of repenting from evil deeds* and placing our faith in God. 2 You don’t need further instruction about baptisms, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. 3 And so, God willing, we will move forward to further understanding.

There are so many distractions in the body of Christ, that hinders us from dealing with the real issue, A lost generation that knows not God..

This Gen Needs Men, (fathers, brothers & yes pastors)

They are Lost In Sin and We are Lost in Religion, So we can’t relate to them and they don’t understand us..

I sense that God wants to Shake us up as men, to be that change agent that causes the lost boys and lost girls to come to the father..

This requires conversations that will reveal truth on both sides, I have learned you can have two groups of people that don’t understand, care for and don’t want to be bothered with each other and both of them have truth on their side that the other group has ignored…

Like i said one is lost in sin the other lost in religion…

Question #1 What’s the biggest reason why we seem to experience lost generations?

Sin: †In essence, the failure or refusal of human beings to live the life intended for them by God their creator. The biblical terminology for sin as an act (and its commission) as well as a human condition is extensive. Among the Old Testament words are Heb. ḥāṭā˒ (verb) “miss the mark, fail” and related words, ˓āḇar “pass beyond, transgress” and related words, ˓āwōn “iniquity, perversion,” pāša˓ “revolt, transgress” and related words, šāgag̱ and šāg̱â “err, go astray,” tā˓â “err, wander,”

The New King James Version Chapter 2

7 So the people served the LORD all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders who outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great works of the LORD which He had done for Israel.

So If It’s Sin That separates, and the Call Of Duty Of Man is to win souls. And Jesus prayed

John 17:14–15 NLT

I have given them your word. And the world hates them because they do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to the world. I’m not asking you to take them out of the world, but to keep them safe from the evil one.

The enemies plan is to remove the elders who have seen the great works of the Lord out of our homes.

John 17:14 NLT

I have given them your word. And the world hates them because they do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to the world.

We Must remember what God has given us (his Word) , and Jesus prayed while we are in the world that hates keep us safe from the evil one.

See if he can keep big momma thirsty for sorry men and never thirst for Jesus we create a nation who knows not God.

Myers, A. C. (1987). In The Eerdmans Bible dictionary (p. 951). Grand Rapids, MI: Eerdmans.

And If he can place a wicked man in the home that molest, rapes, drinks, abuses his family again he is creating a nation..

2. Why You?

New Living Translation Chapter 1

5 “I knew you before I formed you in your mother’s womb.

Before you were born I set you apart

and appointed you as my prophet to the nations.

Because God Knew You!!

he knew you where going to smoke that blunt, he knew you where going to get locked up, he knew you where going to catch STD… And he Knew you where going to get saved.

(praise break)

New Living Translation Chapter 15

16 You didn’t choose me. I chose you. I appointed you to go and produce lasting fruit, so that the Father will give you whatever you ask for, using my name. 17 This is my command: Love each other.

3. What now?

Produce…On a level that God is seen and not you,

People are hurting and they want out.. but how?

Someone Suggest Church but the folks in Church forgot they where once one of them.. So we post hurtful things, We preach hurtful things. And Grace is GONE..

i have been given all authority in heaven and on earth.

Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the father the son and the Holy Spirit.

Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands i have given you.

4. This Requires A Call To Duty...

Matthew 22:11–14 NLT

“But when the king came in to meet the guests, he noticed a man who wasn’t wearing the proper clothes for a wedding. ‘Friend,’ he asked, ‘how is it that you are here without wedding clothes?’ But the man had no reply. Then the king said to his aides, ‘Bind his hands and feet and throw him into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’ “For many are called, but few are chosen.”

Matthew 22:11-14

Will You Be Prepared!!!
