John 12:26: "If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, he will my Father honour."

Receiving blessings in our calling requires an unwavering commitment to following the Lord Jesus Christ and being in the location where He has placed us for ministry. True success in life and ministry is only attainable through wholeheartedly following Jesus and consistently heeding His guidance. Without steadfast dedication to following Him, we cannot discern our ministry calling or fulfil our assigned purpose. It is imperative that we diligently adhere to Jesus' teachings and instructions to align ourselves with His divine will for our lives.

To please the Lord Jesus and receive His assistance, we must never falter in our obligations to follow and listen to Him. Our impact, influence, and productivity in ministry are intricately tied to our resolute dedication to following Him and serving Him faithfully. Only by maintaining our steadfast devotion to following Him can we stay aligned with Him and seize the opportunities and guidance He provides. There is no room for flickering – claiming to serve the Lord Jesus while not following Him will result in missed opportunities and misplaced efforts. It is only through unreservedly following Him that we can fulfil our purpose and find fulfilment in ministry.

Seeking to serve the Lord Jesus with the grace that He has not given us will not benefit the kingdom of God or the person labouring. We can only experience His presence, His power, grace, favour, and blessings in the ministry He assigned to us. This explains why some people struggle with what God has not called them to do.

We cannot disconnect ourselves from Jesus after receiving a calling from Him unless we want to be unfruitful in ministry. The Lord who called us knows us well, knows the grace and ministry He has given us, and knows the direction of our ministry. Trying to succeed without Jesus is an illusion. Jesus must be the Lord of our lives and the leadership over the ministry He has given us for us to be fruitful and successful. Hearing from the Lord Jesus by following His teachings is the key to staying committed and relevant in ministry.

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...
