But I will gather the remnant of My flock out of all countries where I have driven them, and bring them back to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase. Jeremiah 23:3

The Lord shows His love for the sheep when He says He will gather the rest of them. This makes us respect even more those who belong to the Lord´s fold, regardless of the social position of each one – whether it be rich, famous and successful or someone that society considers insignificant. We have to care for God’s loved ones and those who will still be.

When speaking of gathering the remnants of His people, although some still do not serve Him, the Lord shows us that we must treat everyone with love and care with no partiality. Clean or not, people are property of the Most High. Understand how much He loves you and start loving others too. One day, we will give an account for those who were not welcomed. So, it’s better not to be in debt.

By saying that He will bring them back to the fold, the Lord shows that He knows that there will be many houses of prayer to welcome His sheep before the final destruction. The Father will not deny the necessary efforts to rescue them, for they are precious before His eyes. They will become true members of the Body of Christ.

God’s desire is that those who will come near the last hour, when the door is about to be closed, will also bear fruit. There will be time for those who love the Lord to bear fruit, which will remain forever. He does not want to see any of His children with little fruit. Whoever does not bear much fruit will not be known as His disciple (John 15:8).

We must take the Message to the world, especially to countries where there are not many Christians. Jesus promised that He would build His Church, and the gates of Hell would not prevail against it (Matthew 16:18). May the brothers’ zeal in Christ not be cooled! Thus, the people of those nations where persecution of Christians is intense will be found and taken into God´s arms. This will happen through us!

This is the best time to go to the most distant places, to reach a large number of lost people for the Kingdom of Heaven. God will use us if we do our part. How about starting today to fill the Jesus´fold?

In Christ, with love,
