Scattering Or Gathering
He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.
Luke 11 : 23
The Bible is filled with people being in division, either for Jesus Christ or against Him. We are either saved or lost, heading for heaven or hell, in the kingdom of darkness or the kingdom of Light, either for Jesus or against Him, and if we are not gathering for Christ, we are scattering.
The Way to be for Jesus is to surrender to Him. It is to give up the battle and yield to Him as Lord and Savior. Many profess to have surrendered, but they don't gather the lost. He said, "He who does not gather with Me scatters." We are workers with God: "For we are God's fellow workers; you are God's field, you are God's building". (1 Corinthians 3 : 9)
When we share the gospel one on one with an unsaved person, we are fellow workers with God. When we give out a gospel tract or preach to a crowd, we are working together with the Father. We have the privilege of planting, others water, and some reap, but God makes the plant grow.
Soul Searching:
Am I Scattering or Gathering for and with Jesus Christ?
Prayer:
Father, please show me how I can gather for you.
