Psalm 100
Make a joyful shout to the Lord
This year as Pastor has declared as the year of greater glory.
But as we have seen in Isaiah , it says
Arise and Shine,
Arise from your situations, one of the key things is your Shout.
When Jesus said
your Shout gives Life.
your SHout
In John 11:43 Jesus cried with a loud voice and said.
“Lazarus, come forth!”
Here the Lord did not whisper in the ears, murmur , but the Word says He Cried out with a Loud Voice.
Some of the commentators say, if the Lord has not mentioned the name of Lazarus, all the dead might have raised, that the power of shout.
The Shout of the Lord gives life tot he dead.
In 2016, we might had experience different shouts, there might shouts between husbands and wife, you might have shouted at your children, colleagues, relatives.
But If we have to see the Greater Glory of the Lord, Arise from your worldly shouting, Shout the gospel of the Lord joyfully and that will bring Life to the people.
Titanic - Pastor John Harper - a pastor from England was on the Titanic ship.
He and his 6 year old daughter were travelling on that ship to come to Chicago and preach in a Church.
As soon as the Ship hit the iceberg and started breaking, They started releasing the lifeboats and first they were asking people with kids to get into the life boats. Pastor John Harper has every opportunity to save his life with the 6 year old daughter but he put her daughter in the life boat and kissed her and came back and started to speak the gospel of Jesus Christ. He was going and asking everyone whether they are saved and leading them to Christ, and After some time , when the ship was breaking apart, many people jumped from the ship into the waters, Pastor John Harper got a life jacket and in that frigid waters he was going from person to person in the waters and asking are you saved and if not sharing the gospel. finally , he found a young man who doesnt have a life jacket and was bearly holding onto some debris from ship and he swam to him and asked are you saved, and he said no, then the pastor threw his life jacket to him and said you need this more than me, and led him to Christ. and then he swam to other people sharing the gospel but he died in the Frigid waters.
And this young man was one of the survivors of the Titanic .
4 years after the tragedy, a meeting was called for all the survivors of Titanic. and many has testified about Pastor John Harper . And this young man told his story of how pastor gave his life jacket and shared the gospel and led him to Christ.
Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends
Pastor John Harper in midst of Crisis, emotions , he Shouted for the Lord and gave life to many people.
In this new year can we shout joyfully to the Lord and bring people to salvation.
Amen.
Serve the Lord with gladness.
When you do work for the Lord, dont do it with grumbling.
Even if you do small thing in Church, do it with gladness.
Even a small work for the Lord is a big privilege. The sons of korah did not recognized the importance of the work they are doing for the Lord, but wanted a higher post and got lost.
But Joshua served the Lord with gladness, he was a servant for 40 years. and he became finally the leader.
