Facing the challenge...

7/20/2017

2 Comments

 
Many people have a hopeful dream... to sail through life with no worries, no problems, no sickness, no financial concerns, staying fit, happy and healthy!

The reality? Life is tough. Life has highs, and it has its lows. It's not all 'Plain Sailing'. Life can be a struggle and times can be hard.

Even as Christians we are not promised a life without trouble.

Jesus himself said "In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” John‬ ‭16:33‬ ‭

It is not that we have challenges in life that is the issue - it's how we face those challenges. Jesus promised he would never leave us or forsake us.

You don't have to fear the storm if Jesus is in the boat!
Picture

Whatever you are facing in life right now, put your trust in Jesus. Turn your focus onto Him, and He will steer you through whatever life brings your way.

God may not remove all of our problems, he never promised to - but he has promised to walk with us through them.

If Jesus is in your boat you have no need to fear!

Put the right fuel in!

Did you know that God wants to empower you to serve him today?

Sometime ago my wife and I were on our way home when we stopped to put some fuel in our car. As I started to put the fuel in I suddenly realised that I was filling the car with unleaded petrol instead of diesel. My mind had been on something else and my actions meant that the car was immobilised for several hours until a mechanic came and sorted the problem out.
Psalms 119:105
If we want to be effective for God we have to be careful what we put into our lives – if we fill our lives with the wrong things we won’t be as effective for God as we should be.

God wants us to be effective for Him and so as you spend time with God today, ask him to help you deal with anything in your life that might be holding you back from serving Him the way you should be – ask Him to fill you with his Spirit and empower you to serve Him today!

Why we need to tell others about Jesus.. (Part Two)

3/28/2016

In my last blog we looked at three reasons as to why it is important for us to share the gospel. Each one of these points are not rocket science but it's good to be reminded, inspired and challenged to think about each one of these and allow them to stir us into action to share Jesus with those we both know and strangers we meet - as we read in 1 Peter 3:15 'But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:'

So as well as reaching the lost being central to God's heart, the need for us to tell people about Jesus and the fact that the gospel is urgent, what other reasons are there for us to share this wonderful good news? Here are three more reasons...

4) The harvest is great

The harvest is ripe
Life is full of opportunities. They surround us everyday. Some opportunities we take, others we turn down and some we miss, but they come our way everyday. If we miss an opportunity, maybe when we should have said a kind word, or helped someone through a deed, we can become frustrated, angry and feel guilty. The same can be the case when we miss an opportunity to witness.

When it is harvest time in the natural, the Farmer does not go and stand in the middle of the field and look for the harvest - no, it's right there all around him. Not just one or two ears of corn that can be plucked by hand but a whole field full, just ready for harvesting. The same is true in the spiritual sense, Jesus said 'The harvest truly is plenteous,' (Matt 9:37)

The bible tells us that every thing has it's time., (Ecc. 3:1- 11) and Jesus said the harvest is plentiful, it's large, and its all around us. We have opportunities to speak for Jesus every day - let's listen to the prompting of the Holy Spirit in our lives and pray that we take the opportunities to reap the harvest, that work colleague, that friend, that family member.

5. We are commanded to go

‘ and Jesus spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost:  Matt 28:18-20

WHY WE NEED TO TELL OTHERS ABOUT JESUS.. (Part One)

3/21/2016

I Love You

It's the 'BIG' question that Christians sometimes struggle to answer - why do we need to do evangelism? How do we can get started in evangelism? How does prayer fit in and how do we tell our story? What is the purpose behind it and why should 'we' or 'I' be involved? Most Christians would agree we need to do evangelism, but most of the time they shy away from being involved. Over the next few weeks I'll be sharing some tips and thoughts on how we can get started in sharing our faith and how to avoid some pit falls.

Through this blog and the next I'll share 6 reasons why we need to tell others about Jesus...

1. Reaching the lost is central to God's heart:

It's clear from the bible that we as human beings were created to be in relationship with God. Obviously because of our sinful disobedience to God that relationship became broken. However, God loves us and wants us to be in relationship with Him - 'For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believeth on Him should not perish' (John 3:16) 

They key aim in our evangelism is not just to make friends with people, although that great, but to help lead people into a relationship with their heavenly father who loves them. The bible says "The Lord is not slack concerning His promise as some count slackness, but is longsuffering towards us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance"  (2 Peter 3:9) Of course we mustn't just see people as 'projects' we've got to work on, but human beings whom God loves and desires to be in relationship with.
