Are you the one?

Do you believe there’s only one to take to change the world around you or a culture? Are you the one? Or do you want to be the one? Many people want to be a Superhero or a Wonderwoman. But it doesn’t mean that other people or the world will know your name. Yet, sometimes, it takes only one person to turn around someone else’s life. If you are the one, your name may not have known by others but God. And you are that Superhero!

Timothy’s mother was that Wonderwoman. You don’t know her name. But she changed the culture of her family and still changing ours.

Ministry 101 – Gift of recognition

Being thankful takes some practice. Being grateful for the things you have in life can be easily found if you pay closer attention. But you sometimes forget the people that God has placed in your life. You can’t do your ministry by yourself. You’ll always have people that give their hands and time to help out.

Have you ever got frustrated about not being appreciated by others for what you do? Of course, you are working for the Lord, and that’s all the matter in the end. But it’s nice to be recognized for your excellent work once in a while. Everyone should receive a gift of recognition sometimes.

Ministry 101 – Don’t lower your standard

Have you ever thought you might feel good if you could say things or act out in the way some people do to react to their frustration? Of course, you have. But you know the Holy Spirit who lives in you won’t permit you to do that. Instead, He gives you and helps you to have self-control. The challenge for you is whether you obey that nudge or go ahead and let your flesh takes over your mind and emotion.

Every Christ-follower is experiencing that struggle right now. It is twice much harder when you are in ministry. We are all human, and you’ll have the moments when you feel like you want to say exactly what’s in your mind and get done with it. But you know you can’t.

Feel shaken?

There’s not even one person on the earth that is not feeling uncertain today. Do you worry about tomorrow or the future? Do you feel shaken by the chaos in the world? Do you have a hard time finding the ground you can stand on?

Even though you hope to see the second coming of Jesus, it’s not comfortable to live through the troubled time. But it’s impossible to see that glorious day without experiencing the chaos as the bible says. So if the chaos of this world is something that you need to live through, how can you survive it?
