SERVING

Lesson I have learnt:

SERVE THE LORD WHOLEHEARTEDLY IN HIS NUMBER ONE PURPOSE FOR YOUR LIFE - HIS CALLING WHICH IS PERSONAL TO YOU.

Do the things which will teach you more, equip you more and prepare you for this purpose. There is so much you can do now - TODAY MATTERS.

EVERYTHING ELSE IS A DISTRACTION and IS OPTIONAL, EVEN IF IT'S SERVING. Don't spend 100% of your time SERVING in DISTRACTIONS. That's just walking into Satan's hands.

Unless you have no idea what the LORD wants you to do.

GOD is not so small that HE WILL NOT PROVIDE...Try it and if it's not for you...you have no peace about it...you don't look forward to it...THEN STOP BECAUSE IT'S FOR SOMEONE ELSE...and you could be stopping them from stepping up to fill this gap.

NO ONE IS INDESPENSIBLE, FALSE SENSE OF RESPONSIBILITY is not what the LORD needs, but to be responsible for the work he has given you specifically IS THE ONLY RESPONSIBILITY WORTH FULFILLING.

FOR ME: Primary Purpose
Missions - to save the lost (there are lots of christians who feel as lost as those who don't know the LORD), to show people God loves them and cares for them right where they are now in their every day lives by having active personal relationships with them.

Particular focus - remove poverty from Africa, give children a future, by again showing them that God cares they don't have enough food, shelter, water. He cares for them right where they are in their every day lives. Jeremiah 29:11 is true for them as much as me.

Kingdom builder - to make this even more true for me and my family. I am only scratching the service right now but there is so much more the LORD needs me to do. I am blessed to be a blessing.


Now I have to walk this...
