Today’s Devotional…
You only need God’s help to achieve your personal ambitions, but God needs your help to accomplish the spreading of His gospel.
You cannot ask God for help to do what He sent you to do. Rather, you make yourself AVAILABLE to help Him. Ponder…
Yes, God needs help with the gospel. That is why He says: “Whom shall I send?” But how can you say “send me” and then turn again to begging Him to make it work as though He forgot that He sent you?
God had a plan before He called you. All you need to do is align and be available. Don’t try to do it yourself, let Him do His work through you.
That is why we do NOT use gimmicks to bring people to church; we do not hypnotize people, we do not force them. We simply move by obedience and the promptings of the Holy Spirit. Period!
When you know you are simply helping God, you do not go judging church growth or ministry success by the standards of men. Don’t let overambition and competition derail you.
Many begin as “servants” of God (helped by God at those humble beginnings,) but pride, greed, and the desire for fame, wealth, and power, quickly turn them into servants of themselves, and they start ironically asking help from God (to do His own work.) Ponder…
And when God (obviously) fails to answer their selfish ambitions, they get “help” otherwise, often to their destruction and the tarnishing of the image of the church.
Sadly, this is the situation of many “ministers of the gospel” today who have silently become ministers of another gospel, many even without noticing.
May the Holy Spirit be your guide name of Jesus Christ. Amen
