SOS Events is privileged to have some wonderful volunteers that work faithfully. Richard is one of these workers who volunteer and is a faithful witness for the Lord. He is at the Plant City Flea Market on Wednesdays and works other events when he is needed.
1 Corinthians 15:58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
“I wish Noah swatted that second mosquito.” Funny sign on a billboard that was seen when driving. The Bible says that a merry heart does good like a medicine. Sometimes we get so busy or swamped with the cares of this life that we forget to laugh. Take time today to laugh and don’t forget to smile at someone. It could make them have a better day.
Proverbs 17:22 A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.
Alice, Randy and William usually work the Plant City Flea Market on Wednesday but recently both Randy Thomas and William were out of town. Pastor Romero from his Spanish church in Lakeland sent four of his people over to help at the SOS Events booth. Thank you all for your willingness to witness and the LORD blessed with 14 souls making decisions to follow Christ.
1 Corinthians 3:9 For we are labourers together with God: ye are God’s husbandry, ye are God’s building.
Seventeen people were trained to be soul winners with SOS Events Ministry in Alabama this week. Seventeen more CHRISTIANS who are willing to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ.
The team in Alabama are doing a wonderful job recruiting new team members and it all started when one of the couples from Florida went to Alabama about 2 years ago to train a group of people the “3 Things God Can Not Do” . That small group of people got excited about the simplicity and non confrontational way to witness. From that training came the Alabama SOS team. Today that group has spread to several cities in that state and hundreds of people are receiving JESUS as their Savior every year.
One small group of people who got on fire for the Lord and the growth is amazing. Little is much when God is in it.
Job 8:7 Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase.
One of the hymns that honor the Lord and His Saving power is “Amazing Grace”. SOS Events ministry teaches people how to witness and become soul winners. Materials are provided to help Chistians win people to Christ. We can be trained, know the scriptures, have everything just right but without God’s grace all that we do will not work. We must remember it is the Holy Spirit that does the saving. We are just His messengers who bring hope to the unsaved.
2 Thessalonians 2:16 Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace,
Sometimes our minds get thinking about things that bring temptation and problems into our lives. The Bible tells us what to think about in Philippians. When our minds start to wander into places we should not go spiritually, think on these things.
This is a good verse to memorize.
Adrian Rogers, who is now with the Lord. was a great preacher. He told things like it is and his sermons are still up to date as if he was preaching this morning. You can hear some of his sermons on U tube.
He was speaking on the rapture of the church and this was his quote, “Get right or get left.”
JESUS is coming to take those of us who are born again out of this world. It could be today. Are you ready? You do not want to be left behind. To get right and be born again is so simple. Go to SOS home page Scroll down to the “3 Things God Can Not Do” and then go down to the A,B,C’s of salvation. Just follow all the steps, pray and ask JESUS to forgive your sins, come into your heart and make you a new person in Christ.
Don’t wait. JESUS could come today.
2 Corinthians 6:2 (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)
Matthew 25:21 His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
These words were spoken by JESUS to His disciples and are meaningful to us today. At SOS Events ministry there are many volunteers to do events. Most are faithful and if they commit to do an event they are there on time and do a great job.
There are a few, unfortunately, who do not take their commitment seriously thus putting a burden on the other workers. Witnessing and winning souls to Christ is a serious responsibility.
When God directs you to something for Him are you a faithful servant, or do you find an excuse like some of JESUS followers in Matthew 8:21?
Faithfulness is important to JESUS. When you stand before Him will He say, “Well,done thou good and faithful servant.”?
The Bible says, “Life is a vapour”. James 4:14 Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.
This week we learned of a friend and family member who died of a heart attack while stopped at a traffic light. He was a man in his early 50’s who thankfully had made a profession of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ several years ago and followed Him in baptism in a local church.
Most people think that they have plenty of time to accept Christ and the devil has them fooled into thinking that they can put it off until tomorrow. For them tomorrow may never come.
I am sure when Walt left his house in the morning he never expected to be gone in a few minutes later.
If you are thinking you have plenty of time to make a decision to accept JESUS as your Savior, please stop now and reconsider. You may not have another chance.
It is simple and JESUS is waiting to hear you confess your sin, repent and ask His forgiveness. He loves you, paid for you sins by dying on the cross and is waiting to hear your prayer.
You can pray something like this if you don’t know what to say,
Lord Jesus, I admit I have sinned, I believe you died on the cross for forgiveness of my sins, I ask that you forgive me and come into my heart and life and change me and make my life new. I invite you to be my Savior and I will follow you for the rest of my life. In JESUS name. Amen.
Many people are happy to see Wednesday come each week because it is the middle of the workweek for people who work. At SOS Events we love to see Wednesday come because it is an opportunity to win souls at the Plant City Flea Market.
This week was exceptional as 25 decisions were recorded. Randy Thomas is pictured here with Maria one of the Spanish people who received JESUS as their Savior.
John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
