Now before you allow
the enemy of our souls (satan) to talk you into believing that YOU
could in no way be special, and the thought of being called by GOD may
seem a little far fetched, you just may want to know ...
That is
EXACTLY who God HAS called according to His Word!
|
1 Corinthians 1:26-28
For ye see your calling,
brethren, how that not many wise
men after the flesh, not many mighty,
not many noble,
are called: But
God hath chosen the foolish
things of the world to confound the wise;
and
God hath chosen the weak things
of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
And base things of the world, and
things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things
which are not, to bring to nought things that are ... |
You may even be known
by others and even yourself as weird or strange ...
|
1 Peter 2:9
But ye are a chosen generation,
a royal priesthood, an holy nation,
a peculiar people;
that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you
out of darkness into his marvellous light ... |
So, if you have any doubt that God
would call you
because you do not feel like some superhero ...
Best think again.
God is the hero and He acts through
us and He gets the glory.
You may be a little
curious about the name of this My Brother's Keeper Bible program.
The My Brother's Keeper Bible program
derived from a story in the book of Genesis about Cain and
Abel where Cain asked God ...
Am I My Brother's Keeper?
Let me tell you what happened
real quick:
Cain and Abel were
brothers ... The first two sons of Adam and Eve. Abel was a shepherd and Cain
was a farmer. Now there was a custom where the family would bring
gifts to God to show their love for Him. Cain offered to God a gift of fruit
that he had gathered from the ground. Abel offered
God a gift of one of the firstborn of his flock. It was probably
Abel's very favorite lamb. God was obviously more pleased
with Abel's gift than Cain's, because Abel's gift was given from the
heart and it seems that Cain gave his out of obligation. Question: If
you were to receive a lamb and a gift of fruit, which would you
think the greater gift?
Now ... This made Cain very angry
probably out of jealousy.
So, while the
two
brothers were out in the field one day, Cain killed his brother Abel. A little
later the Lord called out to Cain ... The Lord asked Cain,
Where is Abel your brother? (Of course God knew the answer) Cain answered, I don't know,
Am I MY BROTHER'S KEEPER?
Cain was asking God
if God felt that Cain was responsible for
looking after and taking care of his brother.
Here is the actual
Bible Scripture if you want to check it out.
|
Genesis 4:1-10
And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she
conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the
LORD. And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper
of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. And in process of
time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the
ground an offering unto the LORD. And Abel, he also brought of
the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD
had respect unto Abel and to his offering: But unto Cain and to
his offering He had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and
his countenance fell. And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou
wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen? If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin
lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou
shalt rule over him. And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and
it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up
against Abel his brother, and slew him. And the LORD said unto
Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not:
Am I my brother's
keeper? And He said, What
hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto Me
from the ground. |
When Cain asked God,
"Am I my brother's keeper" ...
The answer was YES
... This TRUTH still applies to us even today. We are to look out for
and take care of those in our family. Not only our parents, brothers
and sisters, but we are to be our Brother's Keeper for our Spiritual
brothers and sisters as well. Check out what
Jesus said ...

Matthew
12:50
For whosoever shall do
the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my
brother, and sister, and mother. |
These
are the spiritual brothers and sisters that you are the 'keeper' of.
As Christians, we all
belong to God's family. The Bible makes it clear that we are all
brothers and sisters. We are responsible for taking care of one
another and protecting, warning, guiding, and keeping each other safe
from the countless evils of the world, both visible and invisible,
which the devil has waiting to
us, each and every day of our lives.
You ARE your
brother's keeper, and there are a lot of things that you'll learn in
this program that will help you to protect and defend your own Faith,
the Faith of your spiritual brothers and sisters, and quite possibly
even with unbelievers who are part of God's family but they are lost
and confused and God wants them to return to our Christian family.
Am I my brother's keeper?
We have provided you with an awesome
C-O-O-L
MY BROTHER'S KEEPER BIBLE MEANING
program that will bring forth the spiritual gifts that God has
given those who He calls to serve Him by the Holy Spirit as to be able
to better serve Him.
If you are serious about finding out if
you are being called at this time and are ready to begin this awesome
program, make sure you put everything out of your mind. You must be
totally free from any problems, concerns or anything else that may
affect your spirit. You will have to find a time during your day that
you will not be interrupted. Turn on some Christian music, get your favorite
beverage and snack if you want them. Just get comfortable in mind,
body and spirit.
This is going to be a FUN-tastic adventure.
This program is not
created to judge others, but rather encourage them to answer the call
of God.
AGAIN ...
It will merely determine if you have the characteristics of one
called to serve God. Then the following C-O-O-L STEPS will help
you answer the call.
Not every body is called to
REPRESENT God the same way. This does
NOT mean that they are not Christians. Let me explain that real quick ... At school there
are various sports teams that go out and
REPRESENT your school. Just because you are not on a team does
NOT mean you are not part of
the school. It also does not mean that you will not be on a team at
some point and time.
Just like a school team, Christianity
is a
TEAM and those called in the Bible and those called today are
those God chose to
REPRESENT Him.
You may not feel called to be in
sports, or cheer-leading or the debate team or in the band or any of the various programs yet which means
that you may not have been called
to REPRESENT the school at this time
...
The same way with this program.
But ... IF you were called to
REPRESENT God and you feel it.
It is time to do
something about it.
