PLAIN and SIMPLE:...........PLAIN and SIMPLE:...........I SALUTE YOU!!! There are three important men...that has been apart of putting my life back together...as well as thousands of others!!! But...before I explain further...let me share...something the Bible says!!! MANY ARE CALLED, FEW ARE CHOSEN Then came the Lord’s conclusion to the parable. He said, “For many are called, but few are chosen” (Matt. 22:14). What likely confuses us about this verse is simply the lexicon. Typically, when we think of someone being called or chosen, we think of the internal call of the Spirit and the sovereign election of God as described by Paul, for instance (Rom. 8:30). God did choose his people before the foundation of the world (Eph. 1:3-6). He also calls his people by his Spirit (2 Tim. 1:9). However, that type of election and calling is accomplished by God alone and has always been and will always be 100 percent successful. But there is another type of calling which has a very small success rate. That is the call of the gospel. When the gospel is preached, it calls us to believe and repent which many who hear it will not do. In the Lord’s day, most of Israel had been called by the gospel. That is why Jesus said, “Many are called.” Of course, very few answered the call so Jesus said, “Few are chosen.” But what does it mean to be chosen in this case? In the parable, those chosen were those who accepted the king’s invitation and were prepared upon arrival. The ultimate goal for them was to sit at the king’s table and dine with him. Today, many have heard the call of the gospel. Unfortunately, only a remnant of God’s people will embrace the gospel and seek to win Christ, as Paul said (Phil. 3:8). Beyond eternal life which has been given to us, we have an opportunity to commune with Christ and receive a multitude of blessings from it while here on earth. Let me explain what I’m trying to say. These three men are apart of the chosen. How do I know this? Well...when God spoke to my sister Alisha Priest, and told her to tell me that I must go to The Potter’s House Dayton, formerly St. Paul...I questioned it. However, as you all know...after God allowed my sister’s life to be taken...I obeyed! But JESUS...assured me...by taken me to Hebrews 6:18 That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us. Which means when he told me...He was sending me to a chosen son of his...that I had nothing to worry about...that He would prepare me...for the purpose that God had already set for me!!! But this man that I was sent to...that would be used by God in JESUS NAME...to prepare me...had a Spiritual dad, and a Spiritual Grandfather...that would help him keep things in order!!! These three men that I am talking about is...Bishop Mark C. McGuire, Bishop Vaughn McLaughlin, and Ed Silvoso...MY GOD...WHAT A TEAM!!! Now, I’m sure that all three of them had no idea...that one day God was going to give them many, many, many spiritual sons, and daughters. Now, Family...we all know...that children can give their parents the blues. But what do they do??? They chastise us and keep on loving us...some children run away from home, but they eventually find their way back. Some keep doing the wrong things...and they get killed!!! Some walk away from the strong spiritual guidance...and think they can do it on their own. Well, I know many of those have ended up...behind bars for life!!! And of course...there are the some that will take heed, and obey!!! I want to THANK...THESE THREE POWERFUL MEN OF GOD...FOR BEING A MAJOR INSTRUMENT IN MY LIFE...THAT HAS PULLED THE BEST OUT OF ME!!! OF course as well as others (lol)...I’m not gonna be selfish about this! Bishop Mark C. McGuire...THANK YOU...FOR BEING ONE OF THE BEST SPIRITUAL DAD’S...ONE COULD ASK FOR!!! I know that we all...at The Potter’s House Dayton...have kept you on your knees. If it looks and feels like...it has been unappreciated or went unnoticed...let me assure you...IT HAS NOT... I WOULD NOT trade you in for all the money in the world!!! So...I HONOR YOU...FOR BEING A GREAT FATHER...TO ALL OF US...AT THE POTTER’S HOUSE DAYTON INTERNATIONAL MINISTRIES. Along with the guidance of your Spiritual Dad Bishop Vaughn McLaughlin, and his Spiritual Dad Ed Silvoso. Along with JESUS...I consider you all to be the MIGHTY WINDS...of the north, south, east, and west...in my life!!! HAPPY FATHER’S DAY TO YOU ALL!!! I’M LOVING YOU ALL ALWAYS UNCONDITIONALLY!!! 9:52 pm
