Our Banner of Truth

By Cj Clayton

 Thou hast given a Banner to them that fear thee, that it may be Displayed because of the Truth.   (Psalms 60:4)  

 Are we them that fear God? To fear God is to want to follow his commandments. This is the problem! Many don't fear God. Many are not willing to display their banners of truth for God.

 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye Steadfast, Unmovable,  always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord. (I Cor. 15:58) 

 I have knocked on doors, handed out flyers, and tried to lead others to Christ. I type up my own flyers and Bible studies. Lots of people like to hear what God says. Others don't, but I can't let that stop me, because I am on a mission. That mission is what I was born for. It is what we were all put on this earth for. (We must be about our Fathers business)

 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise. (Proverbs 11:30) 

 Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few;… (Mathew 9:37) 

 This world as we know it is not getting better. It is getting worse!  There is more violence every year, more anguish and more strife, because people are not saved. People do not know of God or the way to Salvation.

 O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us, thou hast been displeased; O turn thyself to us again.  Thou hast made the earth to tremble; thou hast broken it: heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh.     (Psalms 60: 1-2) 

 On the day of Judgment I don't want the woman at the grocery store, or the man at the gas station to say to me, “Why didn't you tell me about Him? You never told me about Jesus!” The same goes for my friends, my co-workers, my neighbors living on the same block.

 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth;… (Romans 1:16) 

 We can all go out Soul Winning! It is really not that difficult and you do not need to memorize a lot of Bible scripture to do it. Take notes with you for key points. Don't be afraid to talk to strangers, because as you begin to talk to people it will become easier.

 Remember you are not standing there all alone! Jesus is with you. Some are shy I know, but that will fade the more we go out and carry our Banner of Truth. If you don't get any one the first or second or 55th time you go out, don't worry because Noah preached for 120yr's and only 8 were saved. You WILL eventually get someone to listen to the truth.

 Remember your labour is NOT in vain, God will see us trying and will bless us for following Jesus commandments. 

 So my sisters, to the those of you who do daily or weekly Soul Winning, God will bless you! To those who are too shy or don't think you have the time, please reconsider. Even if it’s only one day a week for 30 minutes, you will still be pleasing God. Yes, even if you only knock on a couple of doors or hand out flyers in front of your local supermarket on a weekly or daily basis.

 Let us all Fight the Good Fight carrying our Banner of Truth to the world!
