Prophecy was for another time. Proverbs 27 instructs us: “Boast not thyself of tomorrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.” As Christians it is time to take action for the cause of Christ and quit acquiescing to the edicts and mandates that are contrary to the Word of God. We are commanded in Mark 16:15 "And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.” Alacrity is the call word for the day. Do it quickly, speedily, with gladness. Isn’t it time we put some “giddy up” in our go? May the Lord bless each of you as you endeavour to serve the Risen Saviour.
