Kfc Chicken Joy
Contributed by Mark Eberly on Jun 30, 2009 (message contributor)
KFC CHICKEN JOY
A few weeks ago, KFC through Oprah made it possible for every person to get a free meal of KFC’s grilled chicken. People were exuberant. The computer server was overwhelmed with requests. We were able to get the coupons and went the next day. The restaurants were overwhelmed by the requests. Free chicken!!
Oh that there would be even a fraction of the excitement and joy of God’s kingdom in His people. What might we see God do, if we had even a third of that excitement for God’s kingdom which we should have a thousand times more joy for compared with a two-piece chicken dinner. Should not the joy of the celebration of the kingdom be so evident that the invitation compels people to come?
