You are “Not” an Extra!

My family and friends! As we begin to wrap up this year, which seems to have been a year like “NO” other year before it. Especially, with all the shortages in some products; the lock-downs, which appear to come in waves; elections with no clear winner (supposedly), and “Loved ones” who are no longer with us.

As we try and process everything that has happened to us. Sometimes, it may seem a bit over-whelming! We may even feel like, what’s the meaning of all of this? Do “I” even matter in the grand scheme of things?

Well, my friends, I have good news for you! In the middle of this pandemic. In the middle of this season in life, (which we all may just want to forget about). In the middle of everything that has gone on. One note, you need to remember about yourself!

“You” are important! You are “Not” alone! You are “Not an EXTRA” person on the movie scene of humanity! You have been placed here on the earth, “for such a time as this!” Another time or dispensation didn’t need you. You are needed “Now” like never before. Each one of us (singularly) are important and (collectively) we need each other. But we also need the leading, guiding, helping hand of the Lord operating in our lives, seemingly more than ever before.

Look at this beautiful snapshot from the Word of God. The Lord was calling Jeremiah to be a prophet and this is what He said. Jer 1:5 (MKJV)  Before I formed you in the belly I knew you; and before you came forth out of the womb I consecrated you, and I ordained you a prophet to the nations.

My friend, what has God called you for? What greatness in life, does He have in store for you? You are “Not” an extra! You are “Not” an accident! Even, if you were unplanned by your parents. God knew you, and He called you to be a blessing to those around you.

Since that time he has also received training in "Biblical Hebrew", with a university based in Israel. "eTeacher". Larry Atkerson Sr. has worked/volunteered in just about every position a church or ministry can have. In doing so, he has filled many different roles ranging from door-greeter to Sunday-School teacher, and children’s church worker to counselor. He has also served in the pastoral positions of children’s, youth, and adult ministries. He has worked and been involved in hospital/visitation ministries where he has seen the power of God change people’s lives. He delights in going on short-term mission trips!
