TOPIC: HE NEEDS YOUR MOUTH
MEMORISE
How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? - (Romans 10:14)
READ: Mark 16:14-17 (KJV)
14 Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen.
15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
MESSAGE
God wants the whole world to hear about Him. He wants unbelievers to become born again and experience His love (1 Timothy 2:3-4). However, He does not preach sermons; hence, He needs people who will go into the world and preach the gospel. In Acts 9:4-5, Paul was on his way to Damascus when he had an encounter with Jesus. However, Jesus still needed someone to preach the gospel to Paul and lead him to salvation; hence, He appeared to Ananias in a vision and instructed him on where to meet Paul (Acts 9:10-11).
Today's memory verse says that people cannot hear the gospel or believe in Jesus Christ unless someone preaches to them. Jesus commissioned ALL His followers to preach the gospel (Matthew 28:19-20), so you do not have any tenable excuse not to preach. Jeremiah 1:7 says, "...Say not, I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak." The Lord needs you to use your mouth to introduce Him to the world.
God also needs you to use your mouth to heal the sick and cast out demons. In Matthew 10:8, the Bible says, "Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give." He also needs your mouth to intercede on behalf of your nation. In Ezekiel 22:30, God said that He sought a man to stand in the gap for the land so that He wouldn't destroy it; unfortunately, He found none. I pray that you will not be found missing when God is seeking someone to stand in the gap for your nation.
God needs your mouth to praise Him. Hebrews 13:15 instructs us to offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually. In Luke 19:35-40, when Jesus entered Jerusalem on a donkey, the whole multitude of disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works they had seen. With their mouths, they proclaimed, "Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest." When the Pharisees asked Jesus to stop the people from praising, He told them that if people refused to praise Him, the stones would cry out in praise immediately. I pray that stones will not replace you in praising God, in Jesus' name.
KEY POINT
God needs your mouth to fulfil His purposes on earth.

HYMN 23 - ALL TO JESUS I SURRENDER
1. All to Jesus I surrender all to Him I freely give; I will ever low and trust Him, in His presence daily live.
CHORUS
I surrender all,
I surrender all: All to Thee, my blessed saviour,

2. All to Jesus I surrender,
Humbly at His feet l bow;
Worldly pleasures all forsaken.
Take me, Jesus, take me now.
3. All to Jesus I surrender. Lord, I give myself to Thee; Fill me with Thy love and power, Let Thy blessing fall on me.
4. All to Jesus I surrender,

o the joy of full salvation!
Glory, glory to His name!
God bless you as you share.
