Think about how God pursues people and how He wants to use us to reach out to others with His message of HOPE for their lives. Sometimes we need to be reminded of where we came from. How did God pursue you? Who was it that spoke into your life and helped lead you to the realization that you needed a Savior? How was God working in your life even before you realized it?
Remember, God is pursuing lost people even before they know it. He does this by using us to plant seeds of righteousness in their lives. However, we need to be alert and ready to “GO” when God calls us into action. The problem is, some of us are way too busy with our own agenda, that we miss out on what God wants to do in and through us. That includes sharing our story with others (plantings seeds).
So, as we were challenged on Sunday, I want to challenge you again to: 1. Pray for your willingness. Ask God to help you be more aware of the fact that He is already at work in others people’s lives, and then be ready to “GO” when He says, “GO!” Then number 2. Ask God to connect you with someone who is ready to hear the Good News of the gospel.
What, after all, is Apollos? And what is Paul? Only servants, through whom you came to believe – as the Lord has assigned to each his task. I planted, Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow.” 1 Corinthians 3:5-6
“You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit--fruit that will last.” John 15:16
What would happen if we were a church that was spreading HOPE all over the place? How many lives can we reach out to if we all allowed the HOPE of Christ to overflow out of us? (Romans 15:13)
I don’t want to be satisfied with where we have been, I want to daily walk where God wants to lead us.
