Devotionals
have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith
It is a great privilege to receive a ministry from God, an opportunity to serve others through the power which the Lord bestows upon us.
To Paul was given the grace to be an apostle for Christ to the gentiles, which he with all his might and power endeavoured to fulfill for God's glory.
"if indeed you have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which was given to me for you, how that by revelation He made known to me the mystery (as I have briefly written already, by which, when you read, you may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)." Ephesians 3:2-4 (NKJV)
God has chosen all of us, He desires to give us the grace to serve Him and wants to bless us with the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
Do we hunger and thirst for God's righteousness in our life and in the life of others? do we see the pitiable condition the world is in and the blessed ministry God has given us by which we will spread His love and fragrance in this world full of hatred and sinful stench?
Jesus said " If you ask anything in My name, I will do it." John 14:14 (NKJV)
Would God let down our noble request to serve Him by the grace bestowed upon us? Never, rather He is more than willing to use us for His glory.
Continue to earnestly pray for the grace the Lord has in store for you which He will give in His right time and in His right way.
Paul lived worthy of his calling and at the end he had this testimony...
"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing." 2 Timothy 4:7-8 (NKJV)
We too will have our end and if we live worthy of the calling that God will surely give us, then we too will have a similar testimony which we with joy and satisfaction would testify about the great love of God and how we responded to this with the faithfulness as God desired.
God Bless,
Abraham
