What are you doing with The longsuffering of the Lord?

10/9/2013

2 Comments

 
The word longsuffering means patience. Our Lord  is very patience and there is a reason why. Its because He wants us to amend our
ways so He can have His full way in our lives.
 
There are many instances from scripture where we  can see the longsuffering of the Lord. Lets look at this two scriptures:
 
2 Peter  3:9 The  Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is  longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
1 Peter  3:19-21 By  which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison;
  Which sometime were disobedient, when once the  longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing,
wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.


From these two scriptures we can see that the  reason why the Lord is patience is to give us time to repent before it becomes
too late.  Have you ever tried to  minister salvation to someone and they thought that they had forever to repent?  Nobody has forever to repent, now is the day of salvation. The wise say yes now.

 
The above also applies to us as Christians. We do  not have forever to do or make the necessary adjustments required in our lives.
If the Lord has told you to do something, then do it. I heard a great man of God  today, now in fore front ministry. However, years before he was not being  responsive to the direction of the Lord for his live. One day the Lord told him.  If you don't respond l will give your commission to somebody else.  He said that he didn't like the sound of that and chose to obey. Today  his ministry is transforming lives. To everything there is a time and season for  every purpose under heaven (Ecclesiastes  3:1).
 
We live in a modern world, but don't be deceived,  everybody's times and seasons are different. Nobody can afford not to do what
they need to do. And comparing  ourselves with others is the greatest mistake any man can make. Perhaps the Lord  is saying, judge yourself regarding your diet, pray more, stop this or that, its all for a reason.
 
The Lord deals with us an individuals and nobody  has forever to do what they know that they need to  do.
 
  Paul the apostle put it  right: 
 
Romans  2:4   Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and  longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to  repentance?


The  Lord being good to us despite us not doing what we know we should be doing  should lead us to repentance and not taken for granted.  Lets not forget this scripture Romans 11: 22 Behold therefore the goodness and  severity of God

 Perhaps you don't know the Lord yet, let today be  the day of salvation. Many left it too late, don't be among them ending up in the wrong place for eternity.

 We need to respond to the goodness of our Lord.  Its time to do what we know we need to be doing.

Amen. Over the years, I've learned the hard way that when the Holy Spirit calls me to do something, speak to someone, write something down, etc., I had better step to it...or else the opportunity is gone, the person disappears from my life, the words are forgotten. There HAVE been a few times, however, when I waited, and in His great mercy, whatever it was I needed to do was still allowed to take place and God was able to bless or help because of my obedience, albeit a 'late' obedience.

Also...His Word does say, in the James 4 that 'If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn’t do it, it is sin for them.'

A great post. Glad to have joined this community. Take care,
Pam
