God knows everyone uniquely. He doesn’t entrust more to people who won’t manage it well. So, if you can be determined to use your divine gift to work diligently, you’ll naturally flourish in that gift and impact many. Don’t be a lazy fellow and think all your big dreams will come to pass at the speed of light. No! Things don’t work like that. Be an effective worker, dear one.
What are you doing with your life that is keeping you busy with something unnecessary before God? Evaluate your life with this question, and chop off any engagement you’re involved in that is taking so much of your time but isn’t yielding any eternal benefit in God’s kingdom for you.
Today, the same Spirit that quickened Jesus to do all these great and mighty things is upon you. That is why you have every empowerment you need to do many kingdom exploits for the glory of God to impact your generation.
Signs and wonders are not to be used as a measuring tool or yardstick to figure out whether a ministry is authentic or not. Why? Because such things don’t save people. They are to follow those who believe (see Mark 16:17).
Don’t go out to preach without divine authority. If you do, you will return with hurts instead of joy because God hasn’t validated you. The ministry isn’t just about holding a microphone or standing before crowds. It is more about delivering oppressed people, which can’t be done without divine authority. Be guided!
Jesus said, “… whoever does the will of God is My brother and My sister and mother.” But before that, He pointed to those listening to Him as His kingdom relatives. Right? That means it is God’s will for you to listen to His Word. As long as you do that, you are in God’s will.
When Jesus told His disciples that they must preach the gospel, in their minds, He knew that they did not fully grasp what He said. However, Jesus understood that His words would be written down for billions of people, including you and me, to access and obey. Don’t be a reserved gospel minister who cares little about God’s work.
Strengthening your faith through daily acts of worship and service is a journey—a lifelong process of drawing closer to God and living out His love in the world. It’s about consistently seeking God in every area of your life, from the quiet moments of prayer to the hands-on service of others.
Following Jesus can complicate your life more than a worldly person. But the reward for following Him outweighs the disadvantages, and one of the primary benefits is the reward in heaven reserved for you based on your kingdom exploits.
Jesus laid down His life for you. That is why He is the good shepherd of your life. If He gave His life for you so that God would not judge you based on your sins, how much more would He give you the things you ask Him for by faith in prayer?
Dear one, what are you doing with your life? Knowing your destiny will determine the direction you take in life. Avoid living a haphazard life and following the trends because your life is too precious to God to misuse it.
When you are in Christ, you are a new creation. That means that you have become a totally changed person. To stay that way, you must regret your old way of living. If you do not regret your old way of living, you risk falling back into sin and missing out on the transformation Christ offers.
