God is inviting men to come into His House and His Feast, but many do not see the value in accepting this heavenly invitation. Yet, the invitation keeps going out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My job is to extend the invitation to everyone. The Lord is asking that I speak His Words to everyone everywhere. The invitation cards must be delivered, and I have to take my task seriously. Although some servants got rejected, beaten and even some were killed, it should not deter us from sharing the word of invitation. I shall not be afraid of the faces of men or their threats against me. I will faithfully and lovingly deliver the Kings\u2019 message, and leave the rest to men to make their own decisions. The sad reality, however, is that a vast majority of humanity have made up their minds never to accept the invitation, and there\u2019s nothing we can do about it but to pray.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201cFather, I pray for the continuous boldness to invite people to Christ and I pray You to soften the hearts of men to respond to these invitations.
