The first said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused. \u00a0\u00a0<\/em>And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused. \u00a0\u00a0<\/em>And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come. \u00a0\u00a0<\/em>So that servant came, and shewed his Lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind. \u00a0\u00a0<\/em>And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room. \u00a0\u00a0<\/em>And the Lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled. \u00a0\u00a0<\/em>For I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper”\u00a0<\/em>(Luke 14:16-24\u00a0KJV)<\/p>\n

Without radical pursuits the house of the Lord will be empty.<\/p>\n

The time is now and the end of all things is at hand. The Bible tells us that blessed are those who shall sit at meat in the kingdom; but the truth remains that those who will sit at meat in the kingdom are sitting in the church now.<\/p>\n

The meat is ready and banquet is on; however, many of those invited to the king\u2019s banquet will miss it. Many are making excuses but the house must be filled. I hear the voice of the Lord calling His servants to hit the homes, the highways and the hedges to compel men and women into the banquet. The maimed and the halt, and the poor and homeless are to be compelled in to the banquet of life.<\/p>\n

People won\u2019t just gather to listen to the Word of God. Without radical and relentless evangelism, the house of the Lord will be empty. Arise and let\u2019s hit the road running. Remember,\u00a0the Lord has committed to us the ministry and the word of reconciliation.\u00a0God works with generations. Some have laboured and now it\u2019s our turn.<\/p>\n

Casual indifference will make the harvest rot. We must be moved in our spirits to radically pursue lost souls. We must be ready to go to every village and hamlet.<\/p>\n

Whosoever hears the greater love gospel must tell others about this greater love, and let the world know that God<\/a> is ready to save them.<\/p>\n

Stay blessed; I love you!<\/p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
