I MUST SPEAK HIS WORD!

But if I say, “I will not mention his word or speak anymore in his name,” his word is in my heart like a fire, a fire shut up in my bones.  I am weary of holding it in; indeed, I cannot. —Jeremiah 20:9

For when I preach the gospel, I cannot boast, since I am compelled to preach. Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel. —I Corinthians 9:16

             There are some things that people get so excited about that they have to share it with others. 

• A couple finds out they are expecting a baby and they just have to share that with others
• A person gets a promotion at work and they want to share that with others
• A team just won a championship and they just have to share that with others
• A couple buys a new home and they want to share that with others

There are many things that happen in our lives that we enjoy sharing with others!  Both Jeremiah and Paul, and so many of our Lord’s servants, that just have to share the Word of God with others.  What about you and me?  Are we eager to share God’s Word with others?

Jeremiah said, “if I say, ‘I will not mention his word or speak anymore in his name,’ his word is in my heart like a fire, a fire shut up in my bones.  I am weary of holding it in; indeed, I cannot.”  Sometimes he felt like not sharing God’s Word, but he just could not hold it in.  He had to share it.  Paul said the same thing— “I am compelled to preach. Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel.”  The Holy Spirit of God so moved them that they had to share God’s Word.  Is this true of you and me?  Even when there are times like we don’t want to share God’s Word, we can’t hold it inside us.  We have to share it.  Are we like Paul and are compelled to share the Word of God?  Oh, may it be so, Dear Father, by the power of Your Holy Spirit and in the authority of Your Son Jesus that others would come to know Him and love Him.  So may it be!  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1yBzIt_z8oY&list=RD1yBzIt_z8oY&start_radio=1
