We are His witnesses

Have you ever met a micro-manager, those people that have to do everything themselves. Well, I have dealt with those types of people in all areas of life, in a stucco business, in the rental business, in highschool booster clubs, and in the church as well. While in none of these situations was the boss the micro-manager, co-workers were. Those people who think that if they don't do it, no one will. That is a good attitude to have up to a certain point, then you need to trust in others.
Well, unfortunately there are people who have this attitude toward God and think that if they don't do everything they can for God, no one will and that is completely wrong.
Jesus came and spoke to them, saying :All authority has been given to Me in Heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations...." Matthew 28:18-19
In these verses we read that all authority has been given to Jesus CHrist, then He goes on to call them into action. He says go and make disciples of all the nation. This verse is the preface to Acts 1:8 which says "you will be my witnesses." I can't find any place in the Bible where it says if you don't do it, it won't get done. God is Sovreign and the things that He wants to get accomplished will be accomplished with or without you. So if anything you should have an attitude of if I am being called by God to do it, and I don't I may miss out on the blessing of being used by God.
This Sunday we will be looking more into Acts 1:8 once again and how Phillip answered the call and did just what God called him to do. The neat thing is that when we do answer the call and "Go therefore" the work is already done. Phillip walked up on an Ethiopian Eunuch who was reading aloud the book of Isaiah from a scroll. He was even reading a passage that discussed the death and suffering of JEsus, and His silence before His accusers. You see when God calls us somewhere, we are instruments, not micro managers doing the work, but instruments being used to accomplish the goal and that is to glorify God in all that we do.
Thanks for reading and have a great day!
