As gentiles (meaning non Jewish people), we did not have a part of the promises of God. The Jews were God’s chosen people initiated by God since the time of Abraham. It is an amazing thing to be chosen because to be chosen has nothing to do with the person being chosen but it has everything to do with the person doing the choosing.
That is why the Jesus said at the end of the parable of the wedding feast in Matthew 22:14 “For many are called, but few are chosen.” Many people will hear the message but will a few people will be obedient to the message and live God’s way instead of their own. So the Jews were God’s chosen people and through them the whole world would be blessed Gen 26:4 And I will make your seed to multiply as the stars of the heavens, and will give to your seed all these lands. And in your Seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, Gen 26:5 because Abraham obeyed My voice and kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes, and My Laws. So all of the promises in the Old Testament were directed towards Israel. Even when Jesus came, when sending his disciples out, he told them: Mat 10:5 Jesus sent out these twelve, commanding them, saying, Do not go into the way of the nations, and do not enter into any city of the Samaritans. Mat 10:6 But rather go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Mat 10:7 And as you go, proclaim, saying, The kingdom of Heaven is at hand. As Israel were to be a light onto the nations, even the gospel had to be given to them first, but as was God’s plan, their rejection of it allowed the door to be open for the gentiles to receive it. Rom 8:15 For you have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption by which we cry, Abba, Father! As adopted children we as gentiles have access to the same promises as the Jewish nation and we are now seen as Spiritual Jews : Rom 2:28 For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that outwardly in flesh; Rom 2:29 but he is a Jew who is one inwardly, and circumcision is of the heart; in spirit and not in letter; whose praise is not from men, but from God. So for 2000 years the gentiles have really been running with the gospel and God has been using us to provoke to Jew to jealousy: Rom 10:17 Then faith is of hearing, and hearing by the Word of God. Rom 10:18 But I say, Have they not heard? Yes indeed, their voice went out into all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. Rom 10:19 But I say, Did not Israel know? First Moses says, "I will provoke you to jealousy by those who are no people, and by a foolish nation I will anger you." Rom 10:20 But Isaiah is very bold and says, "I was found by those who did not seek Me, I became known to those who did not ask after Me." However in the endtimes at the time of tribulation when church has been raptured, the people who are going to be running with the gospel, will once again be the Jews: Rev 7:2 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God. And he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea, Rev 7:3 saying, Do not hurt the earth or the sea or the trees until we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads. Rev 7:4 And I heard the number of those who were sealed, one hundred and forty-four thousands, having been sealed out of every tribe of the sons of Israel. It is good to be chosen! Parallel Principals There are going to be some people that are going to be financial free and in good health and there are going to be those who are not. Mainly because some people are not going to take onboard the message that tells them they need to do something outside of their jobs to grow their finances and they also need to supplement their diet and other will hear it. When you give out the message of Reliv to someone, this is that person being called and when a person responds to the message, this is that person responding to the call. However when a person is either taking the product faithfully and continually or they are in the businesses doing all of the things they should be doing and growing their business, this is them being chosen! Many are called but of few are chosen, not everyone is going to do what it takes to grow a successful Reliv business, however some will. Reliv is a way out of your financial dependency being in someone else’s hands and it is also a way of you preparing your body so you do not have to look forward to a life of medication in the future. God has brought you to Reliv for a reason, now are you going to be part of the called or part of the chosen? Prayer Request
