Tsalo means let us go...i learned this term when i went to India! and this is the message i preached right after i arrived here in manila.
There are three major places where God is calling us to go.
Are you ready to discover those 3 life-changing areas where God dwells?
- GO IN – there is a call to INTIMACY ( John 3:1-7) Nicodemus was a Pharisee- someone who accuses Jesus during his time (research more about this)
It was a taboo to see a Pharisee talking to Jesus that is why he visited jesus at night (verse 2)
Nicodemus saw Jesus differently; he recognized Jesus’ power and authority.
But the good news here was: JESUS NEVER REJECTED HIM BUT HE OFFERED HIS KINGDOM…HE EVEN PREACHED TO NICODEMUS THE MOST FAMOUS VERSE (JOHN 3;16)
We could see here that Jesus is more than willing to reveal Himself to those who earnestly seek Him.
Personally, I really want going to Jesus at night, when no one is looking around, when I know I will have an intimate talk with Him because yun ung mga time that he reveals great things in me and for me.
2. GO ON – there is a call for christlikeness (john 7:50-51)
after nicodemus’ encounter with Jesus, his life was never been the same again. He went with him and became one with his disciples, though secretly discipled because he is a Pharisee.
The message that Jesus preached to him was not just a knowledge that he kept but it’s the beginning of an eternal friendship with the Son of God.
The same way with us, we should find place for growth, let’s move on, let’s go where Jesus Christ is and be more like HIM
3. GO OUT – there’s a call to witness ( John 19:39-40)
finally, when Jesus died, Nicodemus went out. When the whole world was already doubting him, when Jesus’ disciples were already rejecting Him, when the world was persecuting Him, there was a man who went out—cleanse Jesus dead body and used myrrh to preserve the Son of God. Maybe while he was touching the cold body of JESUS, he was thinking about John 3:16—aha, this is the love of God, that He gave his only begotten son…
he went out and bore all the shame, he doesn’t care anymore what will the people might say against him because HE WAS A PHARISEE…as long as he could WITNESS the greatest demonstration of LOVE!
Let’s do the same, we are not all called to preach, not all called to prophesy, to teach, to be a missionary,…but we are all called to WITNESS. ACTS 2:32
You don’t need a passport, you don’t need to raise MPD to go to these places where GOD is calling us NOW.
