It's Not A Race

Matt Richards

Acts 10:28 Peter addressed them, "You know, I'm sure that this is highly irregular. Jews just don't do this—visit and relax with people of another race. But God has just shown me that no race is better than any other. 34...And Peter opened his mouth and said: Most certainly and thoroughly I now perceive and understand that God shows no partiality and is no respecter of persons, But in every nation he who venerates and has a reverential fear for God, treating Him with worshipful obedience and living uprightly, is acceptable to Him and sure of being received and welcomed [by Him].

You know Peter had the amazing revelation that the Gospel, that this Jesus life is for everyone. In a time where traditionally church and culture was divided, God gave him a vision and told him to go against the segregation. Today no matter what your race, colour, culture, or background God shows no partiality. He is no respector of persons or positions. He is looking for a people from every nation: Asian people, African people, and Caucasian people who fear, respect, and are obedient to Him. Who worshipful live upright for His Glory. God loves nations. I am believing for an african church, an Indian church, a West Indian church, a Filipino church, a Gypsy church, and more. All nations. I am believing God for a church of every nation that worships Him. That's God's plan. That's God's vision. Believe with me. Be the change. Make the difference. It's not a 'race.' We are brothers and sisters in Christ. We run together. Prayer:

Father thank You that there is no prejudice or divide in Your kingdom. Thank You for a church, a new wineskin of all nations that fears and loves You today in Jesus' name, Amen.
