THEY CAME FOR THE SOCIALIST; SPEAK OUT
'...? And how can they believe in Him if they have never heard about Him? And how can they hear about Him unless someone tells them?
Romans 10:14 NET
Excerpt from the Holocaust Encyclopedia:
"FIRST they came for the socialist, and I DID NOT SPEAK OUT -
Because I was not a Socialist.
THEN they came for the Trade Unionists, and I DID NOT SPEAK OUT-
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
THEN they came for the Jews, and I DID NOT SPEAK OUT-
Because I was not a Jew.
THEN THEY CAME FOR ME- and there was no one left to speak for me.
Martin Niemoller.
Martin Niemoller (1892-1984) was a prominent Protestant Pastor who emerged as an outspoken public foe of Adolf Hitler and spent the last seven years of Nazi rule in concentration camps. He is best remembered for the quotation stated earlier.
I am a man on a mission with specific purpose and instruction from God; TO TELL IT ALL TO MY WORLD:
That Jesus Christ is God
That Jesus Christ died for you.
That Jesus Christ resurrected.
That Jesus Christ is ALIVE
That Jesus Christ is coming again for the church.
I cannot do anything about this than to TELL IT AS IT IS: Jesus Christ LOVES YOU NO MATTER WHAT.
It is fashionable for some Christians to be in their comfort zone, claiming and declaring prosperity as if that is the main purpose for which God called us. They are just accompanying benefits of the main purpose. They belong to the blessings of, 'And ALL other things shall be added unto to you'. Mathew 6:33. They are not the essence of the Kingdom Business. But we need them to do the Kingdom Business. Why will God make you have plenty cash? Is it just for the fun of it or to show off? It's for Kingdom Business.
Now, God told Ezekiel;
"Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; SO HEAR THE WORD I SPEAK AND GIVE WARNING TO THEM FOR ME. Ezekiel 3:17.
Verse 18 of Ezekiel 3 is instructive of what happened to Pastor Martin Niemoller, "When I say to a wicked person, 'You will surely die, and you do not warn them or SPEAK OUT to dissuade them from their evil ways in order to save their life, that wicked person will die for their sin, AND I WILL HOLD YOU ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR BLOOD.
Don't be Pastor Martin Niemoller of our generation. You are the Watchman of your sphere of contact: family, friends, colleagues at work, neighbours et cetera. If you keep quite how can they hear of Jesus Christ and believe in Him and be saved? Some of us will just sit back and watch people draw closer into eternal damnation and do nothing. You are afraid to loose their friendship or attract their anger or you want to avoid being labeled and persecuted.
If you really are born again and know what it is to translate into eternal damnation, YOU WILL SPEAK OUT louder than what I am doing.
You saw the devil come for your brother - (physical death without Christ) and you said nothing.
Then he came for your uncle but you said nothing to those alive.
Then he took your friend and colleague at work and you are still quiet?
Go out there and SPEAK OUT: TELL IT ALL.
That Jesus Christ LOVES THEM NO MATTER WHAT.
