We all have skills, talents and experiences which (can) contribute to the world around us. As a Christian, knowing your value is not any different. The reason is to raise awareness on how better you can influence the world with what you have.
There’s no trace of darkness (evil) in God. That is why you cannot blame Him for anything wrong going on in your life. He is not responsible for that trauma or incident, although He can use it to refine you. Believe strongly that His goodness follows you all day long.
When you have the spirit of wisdom operating in your life in a high way, it gives meaning to whatever you do. In fact, it helps you to live unconfused about life. That was what Jesus had, and several people misunderstood Him.
John was offended to see his ministry diminish as Jesus’ own flourishes. Unfortunately, that is how many minister’s lives end up like. They can’t bear the news of seeing someone they started with grow in ministry past theirs. Blessed is anyone who does not stumble on the account of Jesus’ work in other people’s lives.
Nobody will force you to build commitment to studying the Word and following the teachings of Christ each day. But know that becoming a disciple of Jesus comes with a cost. So pay that price to build a deeper intimacy with Jesus, and you will know Him better.
Dear businessman, building your business is costly. It’ll demand so much of your time and brainwork to develop structures and systems. So it’s not just about money. Dear minister, reaching the world doesn’t only depend on how powerful God’s message given to you is. You need the finance, human resources and equipment to make it presentable across diverse platforms.
Jesus described the kingdom of God like a mustard seed that a man took and put in his garden. Then what? It grew to become a large tree and the birds of the air nested in its branches. That description of God’s kingdom is about you, dear one.
You are an ambassador of Christ. But how well you will represent Christ where you are depends on how well you know the Lord. Live by the principles in God’s Word–private and public.
With understanding from Galatians 6:9, consistently doing good to people is an investment. It’s an act of sowing which will yield returns when the giver doesn’t give up. But those returns will come in due season, which you may never know.
Are you a minister of God? Sometimes, reminisce about the number of people who have heard the gospel through you and be joyful about it in the Lord. That can be an antidote to overthinking about the next project for which you may not have the funds to do. Stop thinking so much about your future that you forget to celebrate what the Lord has been doing daily in your life.
Make time for people – both impromptu interruptions and scheduled appointments. It will help you minister to the needs of people individually, as many as you are able. Nevertheless, prioritise your safety, integrity, and health, lest anyone try to take advantage of your sincerity and soil God’s work in your hands.
You cannot have an impactful ministry if you speak like a toddler before people, even if God has anointed you. No! You need divine authority to fuel your charisma to lead and teach God’s people entrusted in your hands.
