Set Apart for God: Are You in the Minority?

Throughout the ages, those who stood on the Lord's side have always been in the minority. They were in the minority in the days of Noah, in the destruction of Sodom, and in the army that went to war with Gideon.

Only eight people were saved during the time of Noah. Only three were rescued from Sodom when God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah. Out of the thousands who initially set out to war with Gideon, only 300 were ready.

So, how do you know if you are on the Lord's side? You are on the Lord's side when you are not part of the majority. The way you speak should not be the same as the crowd. The way you dress should not be the same as the crowd. Your life should reflect the glory of God and align with the tenets and principles of the Scriptures.

2 Corinthians 6:17 says, "Come out from among them and be ye separate." You must reject all the evil in the world—lying, cheating, sexual immorality, excessive desire for money, smoking, and all forms of sin. When you abandon these and stand your ground, you will undoubtedly be on the Lord's side.

May God help you, in Jesus' name. Amen.
