Morning Glory ( Inspirational Monday)

October 5, 2015

Today on Morning Glory it was Inspirational Monday. Our message today was " Whose Side Are You On". Our text today was Joshua 24: 14-16.

Now therefore fear the Lord, and serve him in sincerity and in truth: and put away the gods which your father served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye the Lord. And if it seemed evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom you will serve, whether the Gods which your father's served that were on the other side of the flood, or the god of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. And the people answered and said, God forbid that we should forsake the Lord, to serve other gods.

In the aftermath of all that has taken place over the past week in the state Oregon, the time is now to decide whose side you are on. I won't spend this time to go into details of the events that took place on that day in the state of Oregon but I will say, " People died because they said they were a Christian". Are you ready to die for your Christ or for that which you believe in?

The people of that junior college give us something to really think about. Yes, it was a travesty. Yes, it was dogmatic and senseless for the innocent lives lost at the hand of a sick and deranged individual.

In light of all that was done, still a message was sent to the Body of Christ. The message comes in the form of a question, are you on the side of Christ no matter what you are faced with? Are you willing to proclaim your Christ in the midst of adversity or even death. The scripture clearly let's us know, if you deny me here in the earth, I will deny you  to my father in heaven.

If you take the time and read Joshua 24 in its entirety you will find that God and Joshua clearly have a problem with the children of Israel, they cannot decide definitively whose side they are on as it relates to their god. Joshua reminds the children of Israel of all the wonderful things that Lord Jehovah had done for them. After giving them a solid resume of what God had done, Joshua let's the people know the need to make a decision about who they are going to serve. Joshua declared, " As for him and his house they were going to serve the Lord". As a result of what Joshua did, the people responded and did accordingly.

Now is the time that you and I should not have to be reminded about the side that we are on. God has done so much for us. You and I have the right to the Tree of Life simply because He gave us His son and the Son gave his life. If it were for that reason and that reason alone that is enough to decide the side you are on. God is sovereign, he wants to rule our lives as we yield our life to him. Whose side are you on?

The first thing you will discover, there must be personal passion. Are you passionate about your God. Are you willing to serve Him in spirit and truth.
Secondly, you will discover private pain. It is in the privacy of our lives that we have dealt with the most intimate occurrences. Behind closed doors you and I have had to deal with some stuff that nobody knew but us and God. God brought us through it and out of it. Thirdly, you will discover public persistence. When people counted you out, it was because of your passion for your God, overcoming the obstacles of life that you and I can now forge ahead publicly. God has given us the ability to have the fortitude and the vitality to be persistent while in public.

Don't ever let your witness be questioned because there is not an open demonstration if whose side you are on.
