Isaiah 49:5 “And now, saith the LORD that formed me from the
womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob again to him, Though Israel be not
gathered, yet shall I be glorious in the eyes of the LORD, and my God shall be
my strength.”
It is embarrassing sometimes to hear many of the Ministers
that fills the pulpits in Americas Churches. They make it seems so wrong to
preach the truth of God’s Holy Script. It is like I am preaching the devils
message instead of the truth of God’s word. Every Sunday men stand in pulpits
and almost universally preach the same wrong and embarrassing sermons, about
how salvation is up to the creature to decide whether they want to be a
Christian or not. Paul was so right when he wrote to the church at Rome, “Professing
themselves to be wise, they became fools...And changed the glory of the uncorruptible
God into an image made like to corruptible man..." Romans 1:22-23a Well
they are most certainly fools today. Paul went on to write in this same letter “Who
changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature
more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.” Romans 1:25 Since God is
Sovereign then these sermons people hear every Sunday in theses churches is
simple wrong and embarrassing to men and churches who teach truth. It is not
that we “disagree” they are simply teaching lies and people are packing the
houses to hear these lies. Beloved, Paul wrote to the church at Galatia “Be not
deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he
also reap.” Galatians 6:7 What we as true believers must remember is “…whatsoever
a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” Their reward for their deception of God’s
word, they will pay. Therefore, it is our job as believers in truth and
Ministers in truth to keep on and try to ignore the deceivers. If God wanted
them to be saved and to believe truth, then He would have changed their hearts
also. It is all God’s choice, everything is Gods choice. Isaiah wrote “…LORD
that formed me from the womb to be his servant…” Isaiah did not choose God, God
chose Isaiah. The prophet went on to say in chapter 49 and verse 1 “…The LORD
hath called me from the womb…” and in verse 2 “…And he hath made my mouth like
a sharp sword…” So as one can see it is all God and His choice, and why did God
chose all this for the Prophet? “…Thou art my servant, O Israel, in whom I
will be glorified.” Verse 3 God is only glorified in truth and honor of His
chosen servants. God told the Prophet Jeramiah “Before I formed thee in the
belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified
thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.” Jeremiah 1:5 Well here
in the Twenty-First Century God still chooses His servants and He still
controls them in truth, and He still sees them through. While man wants to
change the truth, the truth is still alive and well in the little Sovereign
Grace Baptist Church and the men whom He has chosen to be their Pastor. So as a
minister of Jesus Christ and Pastor of the Lords church it still blesses my heart
when I read in Galatians 1:15-16 “But when it pleased God, who separated me
from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace, (16) To reveal his Son in
me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred
not with flesh and blood:” It was all God’s blessed choice, and God has blessed
all Sovereign Grace Baptist Pastors with these same blessings. God called us
from our mother’s wombs, God revealed His Son in us, and God called us to
Pastor His churches, What Some Blessed men we are. And to thank of it, it was
all God’s choice and not our own, thank you Lord! And if you are saved today,
it was also God’s choice and you are His blessed creature, so praise God for
His blessings to you.
