YES MAN

Matt 4:19-22
19 "Come, follow me," Jesus said, "and I will make you fishers of men." 20 At once they left their nets and followed him.
21 Going on from there, he saw two other brothers, James son of Zebedee and his brother John. They were in a boat with their father Zebedee, preparing their nets. Jesus called them, 22 and immediately they left the boat and their father and followed him.
NIV** Anymore we Christians wait too long to answer the call of God for our lives. I just watched a movie last night “yes man.” (We have a editor that takes out all the foul language and sexual content…. Thank God!). As I watched the movie I thought how interesting it would be to just say yes to anything that God would put out in front of us. Yes to following Him, Yes to feeding the poor, Yes to tithing, Yes to doing the work of the ministry at our churches, Yes to volunteering in different areas in the church that are struggling…. Yes, Yes, Yes!!! Now pastor, what about balance? I believe in balance, but what I’m seeing today in the churches is a decline in people stepping up to the plate and saying yes to God. I see them saying yes to all that the world has to offer but when it comes time to immediately drop their nets and follow Jesus, they are too busy or have too many worldly responsibilities so they don’t have time to give God anything. If you’ve been asked to volunteer at your church for something, just say Yes! Look that person in the eye and let them know that Yes, you would like to give them 6 months of your time to teach and train those children and Yes they can count on you to do it to the best of your ability. Anyone can do anything for 6 months. Do it immediately, don’t whine, don’t complain while you do it, just commit to it and give it your best and I know that you will be blessed!
