Will You Bind Yourself with a Curse?
Sounds harsh, but once the Israelites realized what God wanted from them, they felt that they had no other choice. Check out the words of their response in Nehemiah 10.
28 “The rest of the people—priests, Levites, gatekeepers, musicians, temple servants and all who separated themselves from the neighboring peoples for the sake of the Law of God, together with their wives and all their sons and daughters who are able to understand— 29 all these now join their fellow Israelites the nobles, and bind themselves with a curse and an oath to follow the Law of God given through Moses the servant of God and to obey carefully all the commands, regulations and decrees of the Lord our Lord.”
They had to follow God’s direction for their life. If you have been involved in First Priority for any length of time, you understand what I am talking about in relating it to FP. Through First Priority, we see life changed one student at a time. Once the system is in place, you cannot NOT do it anymore. Your heart is bound by the opportunity to share Jesus with lost students in school. Your life is forever changed. So are the lives of students today and tomorrow in your community. Thanks for being bound to the law and commandments of God and your response in following Christ’s will and words of the Great Commission.
Peace,
Brad
