For such a time as this #1
 

I Just heard from God today and He said,"Thou art come into the kingdom for such a time as this." Esther 4:14

From the time of Adam and Eve's fall from grace things worsened. Following Cain's murder of Abel wickedness flourished expanding throughout the world. Society was at a loss seeking someone to solve the crisis.

Suddenly on the scene came the man called Noah. A just and righteous man in his generation he was just what God was looking for He had come to the kingdom for such a time as this!

God had a plan and Noah was just the one to initiate it. Calling Noah into His presence he laid out the blueprint for the salvation of mankind. 


During the construction of the Ark Noah proclaimed the promises of God. Any who would enter in would be saved. A time period of 120 years elapsed during which Noah faithfully declared the truth. 


It is my contention that much laughing and scoffing was heard outside the ark! Of the total congregation none accepted the offer of entry. Violence continued to escalate the family was ushered into the ark and as predicted the rain began to fall! 


The finality of it all is heard with the crash of thunder as the "door was shut." Excluded were those who ignored the offer! At that point there was no point or possibility of entry. 


Noah was the man for such a time as this. It has always been that God has one for "such a time as this." For our generation such a one is the Lord's Jesus. He has made a way for us! Let us seek the Lord while He may be found and call on Him while He is near!

In Jesus;
