Called by grace

1Cor 1:1: "Paul called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother,"

It's essential to understand that whatever God has called us to become, He has given us the grace to achieve it. We should believe in God for it and actively work towards it. God has given us the divine ability to become the person He has called us to be. The grace given to us by God is meant to transform us into the ministry that He has called us to serve the world. Therefore, we must make ourselves available to God, allowing Him to shape us into what He has called us to be so that we will be able to minister it to the people we are sent to. 

Your ministry is the expression of what God has made you by His grace. Your calling from God is from above, and that's why you will be made by God to function in that ministry. The grace by which God called us into the ministries we are to serve will continuously unfold to make us become that ministry before people. The grace of God unveils in phases, first making us aware of God's calling, and then further training us through the knowledge of His word to equip us to be able to undertake that ministry. 

The grace of God in your life will not be silent but will be speaking within you always, teaching and guiding you to become the ministry which God has called you to be. The grace of God at work in your life will make known the counsels of God to you always. God has called you by His grace to make Jesus Christ known through you or to manifest the power of His resurrection in your life to the world. Therefore, you must not heed people's opinions about what God has called you to be or do unless you want to trade what God has called you to do for something else.

Power of Persistence

Power of Persistence  And Gideon came to Jordan, and passed over, he, and the three hundred men that were with him, faint, yet pursuing them. Judges 8:4 Persistence is essential for pursuing a significant purpose and achieving a vision that seems beyond our strength. Despite their exhaustion, Gideon and his soldiers continued their pursuit of their enemies, demonstrating the power of a clear and compelling goal to inspire perseverance in fulfilling a dream. Persistence allows us to remain consistent and steadfast in our pursuits. Without a great vision, we may struggle to rise from complacency and actively seek God with the dedication needed for constant prayer, which builds a strong spirit, deepens our faith, enhances our understanding of the Word of God, and helps us grow in alignment with our vision.  God does not use casual seekers for the advancement of His kingdom; He relies on those who are consistent and committed. Persistence in prayer and faith is key to receiving an...

You are worthy O Lord..

You are worthy O Lord.. The twenty-four elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne and worship Him who lives forever and ever. They cast their crowns before the throne, saying, "You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory, honour, and power; for You have created all things, and for Your pleasure, they are and were created." — Revelation 4:10-11 Even with the privilege of sitting around God's throne, these elders demonstrate a deep sense of humility before Him. When the living creatures give glory, honour, and thanks to God, the elders do not remain seated, proud of their crowns. Instead, they rise from their seats and fall down before God. In worship, they lay their crowns at His feet, proclaiming that He alone is worthy of glory, honour, and power. The crowned elders understand that there is only one King, and that King is God, deserving of all glory despite the honour they have been given. Like these elders, we must not allow the privileges, gifts, bles...

The Word became Answer

Image
The Word became Answer RSV, John 1:14: "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; we have beheld his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father." The Word, or Logos, became human as God's response to our need for salvation, addressing all our spiritual needs and the limitations we face as humans. The written word, the scriptures, is also provided by God to meet our needs. However, many struggle to find answers to their challenges in the scriptures due to their lack of understanding of them. But those who genuinely seek truth from the scriptures and are willing to obey God's guidance will find that the scriptures are revealed to them, providing a word from God. Casual reading of the scriptures will not yield meaningful benefits. Our comprehension of the scriptures plays a significant role in how we apply them and the guidance we receive. Therefore, we must not only read the scriptures but also study them carefully to uncove...
