READ YOUR RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOCUS ON WHAT REALLY MATTERS - PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME TUESDAY 25TH, OCTOBER 2016
I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner
that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no
repentance (Luke 15:7)
Living for Jesus Christ and making yourself His partner in building and
transforming lives around the world is what counts the most in life. God did
the ultimate: He gave His Son to die to bring us to Himself; to win us to
Himself. So everything in your life—your thoughts, ideas, the excellence in
your life—should be about soul-winning.
Many are concerned about the lesser things of life; but you must focus
on the Gospel. True fulfilment and satisfaction in life is only derived from
living for the Lord, fulfilling His dream. Many get carried away by their needs
or their personal dreams; that’s wrong. Take your eyes off yourself; pursue and
fulfil God’s dream. Live your life as an ambassador and steward of the
mysteries of Christ; that’s what your life is for.
He already said all things are yours (1 Corinthians 3:21). In Matthew
6:25, 32, 33 He said, “Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life,
what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall
put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? (For after
all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that
ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his
righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”
Don’t major on the minors; fulfil God’s dream. Be passionate about
soul-winning; commit your life and resources to it. As you saw in the preceding
verses, God doesn’t want anything, including “your needs” (for you really don’t
have any needs), to distract you from preaching the Gospel. That’s why He made
all things yours and plugged you to an unending supply. So, focus on what
really matters. Be a fervent, persistent and consistent soul winner.
PRAYER
Dear Father, I recognize myself as your partner in soul-winning, an
ambassador of the Gospel and minister of reconciliation. I live to impact my
world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ, turning sinners from darkness to light,
and from the power of Satan unto God. I thank you for your grace at work in me
to fulfil this glorious ministry, in Jesus’ Name. Amen
Further Study:
|| 1 Corinthians 4:1-2 Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers
of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God. 2 Moreover it is required in
stewards that a man be found faithful. ||
|| 2 Corinthians 5:18-19 And all things [are] of God, who hath
reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of
reconciliation; 19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto
himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us
the word of reconciliation. ||
