Jesus never gave the disciples a method, strategy or medium to spread the gospel. He just told them to go and make disciples of all nations. That means that for them, and now to us to reach the ends of the world, we have been given the liberty to be creative and innovative.
If you want to see God’s abundance in your life, let grace empower you to work. You’re limited in your human strength to fulfil God’s call upon your life. So God is responsible for supplying the grace and anointing to go the extra mile, just as He gave it to Paul (1 Corinthians 15:9-10).
God may have shown you glimpses of your future, how bright it is or will be. But when you compare where you are today and the beautiful imagination about your life in mind, you just cannot trace your path there. Let me encourage you: it is worth the wait. Grow through the process.
Your works contributing to your divine purpose fulfilment follow you even after you’re physically dead. Knowing this very well, why won’t you focus on doing God’s work diligently without grumbling today?
Build security around your life by being accountable to other responsible ministers of God in your life. So that when such people correct you for doing something wrong, you’ll not drift away from the truth. Do what God has told you to do because you’ll give account to Him (Romans 14:12).
As a minister of the gospel, don’t entertain procrastination in your workflow any day of your life. Discharge the duties of your ministry, whether people applaud you for what you do or not.
Don’t bend God’s principles to suit your way of life. You’ll be your own devil if you do that.
In Psalm 100:2, we’re charged as Christians to serve the Lord with gladness. The word “gladness” comes from the Hebrew word “śimchâh,” which means “joy.” You are supposed to serve the Lord with joy in your heart always. So whatever you do which has been dedicated unto God, do it with joy in your heart by the empowerment of grace.
Ministry isn’t all about serving in the church. It’s all about dedicating what you’re doing unto God, whether in church or not.
You only defeat laziness by working consistently. Even if you have everything you need in life, don’t stop working no matter what. Work is not a curse. You’re to enjoy it and not hate it.
God is very progressive. There’s more He wants to accomplish daily on this earth. But according to Psalm 116:15, God has given the Earth to the children of men. So He needs people to advance His kingdom on Earth. It’s your duty to remain faithful to your calling in the Lord.
“Occupy Till Jesus comes.” Pretty simple statement from the Bible (Luke 19:13); right? What did Jesus meant when He said that. He was affirming that instead of we focusing on His second coming, we should be involved in using the gifts He has entrusted us to serve one another. Fulfilling purpose is a primary priority in Christ.
