Cᴀʟʟᴇᴅ ʙʏ Gᴏᴅ's Gʀᴀᴄᴇ

Gal 1:15-16: "But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb and called me by his grace, To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:"

It is important to remember that we are saved and called into ministry by the grace of God, not because of our goodness or possessions. Our efficiency, impact, and success in ministry depend on the grace given to us by God. Therefore, we should consistently grow in the grace of God through our service and regular fellowship with Him. We should not rely on our human abilities or experiences, as this could lead to a decrease in our impact and relevance in ministry. We must remember that our journey of faith started by grace, and it is through the regular supply of grace from God that we will continue to make an impact on this journey and end well. 

The grace of God is the foundation for our living and becoming relevant in the work of God. God has called us by His grace to reveal His Son through us so that we can make Him known, so we must not trivialise this grace. The grace given to us was not given to amplify ourselves, our accomplishments or our success, but to preach Christ. The effectiveness of our witness to Christ greatly depends on our revelation of Jesus Christ. So we must allow the Holy Spirit to regularly reveal Christ to our hearts through the word of God so that our passion to witness Christ will always grow. 

When God calls someone to serve Him, He wants the person to bring their heart closer to Him, so they can begin to observe His ways. God first builds the foundation of any work He plans to do in the heart of anyone that He called to be with Him. Building the principles of God's works in the heart of a person involves removing old ways of thinking and planting the thoughts of God. When we surrender our hearts to God, we will easily hear His voice and receive instructions to fulfil His purpose. Whenever we are in the presence of God, our hearts must be present, because God wants everyone who comes to Him to leave with something of eternal value. We walk with God with a heart of faith, and whatever we do with Him or for Him must be done with our hearts, souls, and minds so that God can be glorified through our lives.

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...
