03- 16- 11 MI DAILY DEVOTION (Isaiah 6:1- 10)
MISSION, MISSIONARIES, MISSION FIELD…
1- “In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. 2- Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly. 3- And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory. 4- And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke. 5- Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts. 6- Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar: 7- And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged. 8- Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me. 9- And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not. 10- Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed.”
We have a mission and God wants for us to fulfill or accomplish that mission faithfully and willingly. (Matthew 28:18- 20) 18- “And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19- Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20- Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.”
We have a calling and we are God’s missionaries in His field and He wants for us to go and preach the gospel to every man and woman, every kids and tongues and nations. (Romans 10:13- 17) 13- “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. 14- How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? 15- And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! 16- But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report? 17- So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”
And we have a mission field and our mission field will start from our own home and love ones, from our own backyard and neighborhoods, and in our community… and to the uttermost parts of the world. (Acts 1:8) “But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.” (I Corinthians 1:18; 21- 25) 18- “For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. 21- For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. 22- For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: 23- But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; 24- But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.”
