A word for you!

A word for you!

Matthew 22:1-4 NIV
Jesus spoke to them again in parables, saying: “The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son.  He sent his servants to those who had been invited to the banquet to tell them to come, but they refused to come.     “Then he sent some more servants and said, ‘Tell those who have been invited that I have prepared my dinner: My oxen and fattened cattle have been butchered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding banquet.’

***Wedding Banquet***

The Lord spoke a lot in parables especially when He describes Heaven. In this particular one He likened heaven to a wedding banquet. Looking at the extravagant settings of weddings on earth I can but imagine what the Heavenly wedding banquet will look like. I have been privileged to attend some unique wedding celebrations both for my family and for friends. Every one of them possessed their own uniqueness,  taste of food, amount of guests, venue and others. No matter how big or small the wedding was or is a price had been paid by the host, money, time, intellects and God knows what had been put together to hold such event.

Back to the scriptures, the king inviting people to this Heavenly banquet had paid a price in order to cater for the needs of the invited guests. He said "Tell those who have been invited that I have prepared my dinner: My oxen and fattened cattle have been butchered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding banquet.’'
Oh my! Heaven is loaded with what earth can never see, it is loaded with imperishable things because those who are invited and will make it will become imperishable.  So imagine if you like Jamaican jerk chicken like I do you will eat and never get full or tired and it won't finish unfortunately we won't be eating such in Heaven but what is much better than that.
He sent his servants to those who had been invited to the banquet to tell them to come,
We the believers are the servants in this parable sent out to the invited guests (backsliders, unbelievers and all human beings regardless of race or sexual orientation). Are we obeying the king?  Are we going out to minister to the lost souls? Are we living an evangelistic life? God is speaking to you and I today He is urging us to go out and win souls for the wedding banquet.

Let us not shy away or disobey The King of Kings.  Let us go-a-fishing.
Have a blessed day.
