Christianity Etc › Use The Gift God Gave You by Btruth(op): 6:10am On Apr 18, 2024
Use the gift God gave you

Thu, 18 Apr 2024

‘God has set the members, each one of them, in the body just as He pleased.’ 1 Corinthians 12:18

Have you ever opened a Christmas present only to be disappointed at the one you were given? You look around and see that others received a nicer present than yours. You noticed that some even received two great presents, which puts a damper on your Christmas experience. Maybe someone noticed your disappointment and offered to swap your present for something you like better.

The same thing happens in the Body of Christ. We may be unhappy at the gift we’ve received from God and envious of the gifts God has given others. So, you take it upon yourself to swap it for something you like better. That’s why so many people are running around claiming to be an apostle, a prophet, or a teacher—they’re gift-swapping. You don’t get to decide what gift God gives you. The Bible says, ‘God has set the members, each one of them, in the body just as He pleased.’ (1 Corinthians 12:18 NKJV)

Sometimes, it takes years for you to recognise your gift and start operating in it. Instead of coveting another person’s gift, be thankful for your own and ask God to use it to bless as many people as possible. And if you have questions about it, search the Scriptures. Paul says, ‘God’s gifts and his call are irrevocable’ (Romans 11:29 NIV); ‘However, since we have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, each of us is to use them properly: if prophecy, in proportion to one's faith;…’ (Romans 12:6 NASB20); ‘… But, each of you has your own gift from God; one has this gift, another has that’ (1 Corinthians 7:7 NIV). ‘But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills.’ (1 Corinthians 12:11 NKJV). So, use the gift God gave you.

‘Without Me you can do nothing.’ John 15:5

Self-help books and motivational speakers are like cheerleaders standing on the sidelines shouting, ‘You can do it!’ They can be helpful, but if the ‘you can do it’ philosophy always held true, we wouldn’t need God. Paul understood this. That’s why he wrote, ‘I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me’ (Philippians 4:13 NKJV). Discovering the will of God requires faith for the impossible and a childlike dependence on Him. The Bible is full of men and women who discovered their destiny in the perfect will of God by doing things that would ordinarily have been impossible to do on their own. For example:

1) Noah and his impossible project. Noah was commissioned to build a ship the size of an aircraft carrier – by hand – and on land!

2) Abraham and his impossible promise. At ninety, after years of trying unsuccessfully to be a father, God told him his children would be as numerous as the stars in the sky and the sands of the sea.

3) Mary and her impossible pregnancy. Imagine telling your husband-to-be, ‘I’m pregnant, and the baby’s father is the Holy Spirit.’ God has always chosen ordinary people to do extraordinary things, and they all had something in common. Every one of them was called to be part of something bigger than themselves. And because of their willingness to yield to God and allow His purposes to be revealed and fulfilled through them, He used them in amazing ways. God takes pleasure in doing things through us that only He can do so that, in the end, He will receive all the glory, honour, and praise.
Emi le ṣe ohun gbogbo ninu Kristi ẹniti nfi agbara fun mi.

I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

Your limited window of opportunity

Tue, 16 Apr 2024

‘Teach them to your children and your grandchildren.’ Deuteronomy 4:9

Let’s read what God said to the parents who entered the promised land: ‘"Only take heed to yourself, and diligently keep yourself, lest you forget the things your eyes have seen, and lest they depart from your heart all the days of your life. And teach them to your children and your grandchildren, …’ (Deuteronomy 4:9 NKJV). Notice the progression here. First, ‘take heed to yourself’. Next, ‘teach them to your children’. Your ability to influence and mould the children you care for is based on your credibility with them. When the principles you live by produce joy, peace, strength, kindness, discipline, and success, the children who look up to you will begin to take you seriously. And you have a limited window of opportunity. There are skills that can be learned during early childhood that become much more difficult later on.

Have you ever wondered why it’s so simple to teach preschoolers any language they hear? And they can learn it perfectly, without even a trace of their own accent. Fifteen or more years later, they will have a much harder time attempting to make those same sounds. This is explained by a process called ‘phoneme contraction’. The larynx of a young child assumes a shape needed to make any sounds he or she is learning to use. It then sets in those positions, making it impossible or challenging to make other sounds in later years.

A child’s attitude towards parental leadership and the guidance of carers is similar. That’s why it’s essential to ‘shape the will’ during the preschool and early years by balancing unconditional love with consistent teaching and firmness at home. If you miss that opportunity, the adolescent years can be rougher than they need to be.

Christianity Etc › Give Children Convictions To Live By by Btruth(op): 5:47am On Apr 15, 2024
Give children convictions to live by

Mon, 15 Apr 2024

‘These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children ...’ Deuteronomy 6:6-7

If you’re a parent, are you trying to keep your children under lock and key in order to keep them out of trouble? Or if you’re a teacher or Sunday school leader, do you try to impose strict rules? It won’t work. You’re not keeping them out of trouble; you’re simply postponing it. Things like curfews, dress codes, internet use, and checking up on their friends are part of good parenting and good teaching. But when you are not around to guide them, they need sound principles to live by. And those principles can be found in God’s Word: ‘These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates.’ (Deuteronomy 6:6-9 NIV).

Isn’t it interesting that each succeeding generation views the previous one as old-fashioned and out of date? And that’s not all bad. Every generation believes there is a better way to do things, and that is the foundation for progress. That’s why getting from Liverpool to New York takes only seven hours by plane instead of three weeks by sailing ship. God’s Word can stand the test of scrutiny. So, instead of shutting them down, invite children to ask questions and challenge assumptions, then help them arrive at solid scriptural convictions to live by. As someone who cares for children, there is no greater gift you can give them.

Your harvest is on the way

Sun, 14 Apr 2024

‘The seed should sprout and grow, He himself does not know how.’ Mark 4:27

Have you sown a ‘seed’ of faith, and now you’re wondering when you will reap the ‘harvest’ God promised in His Word? If so, read on: ‘And He said, "The kingdom of God is as if a man should scatter seed on the ground, "and should sleep by night and rise by day, and the seed should sprout and grow, he himself does not know how. "For the earth yields crops by itself: first the blade, then the head, after that the full grain in the head. "But when the grain ripens, immediately he puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come."’ (Mark 4:26-29 NKJV). Before you reap the harvest of blessing God promised, you go through certain stages.

First, there is the ‘not knowing’ stage. Your seed is buried in the ground. How and when your harvest comes is entirely up to God. But you must believe that it will happen. Next comes the ‘blade’ stage. It’s just a tiny blade blowing in the breeze, but it’s enough to encourage you and let you know your harvest is on the way. Next comes the ‘head’ stage. The seed has started to sprout and look like what you prayed for. This is when you must water it with prayer, fertilise it with God’s Word, and protect it from anything or anyone that would uproot it through doubt and unbelief. Finally, you enter the ‘full grain’ stage when the grain ripens, and you immediately reap a harvest. Whatever stage you’re in today, stand fast and keep trusting God. Your harvest is on the way.

Christianity Etc › Stop And Ask For Directions by Btruth(op): 5:25am On Apr 13, 2024
Stop and ask for directions

Sat, 13 Apr 2024

‘There is a way that appears to be right, but in the end, it leads to death.’ Proverbs 14:12

You can be sincere in your intentions – but sincerely wrong. The Bible says the rain falls on ‘… the just and the unjust alike’ (Matthew 5:45 NLT). The law of cause and effect applies to everybody, and all your good intentions won’t bring you to the right destination if you’re on the wrong road. Think about it like this: maybe you have considered investing in a particular company. You do the research, talk to the experts, and things look good. So, you proceed on the assumption that it’s a sound decision. Then, the unexpected happens. A recession hits, and the market tanks. It’s not your fault; you were sincere in your decision to invest, but that doesn’t change the end result. You still lose.

You can’t afford to put your trust in what ‘… seems right to a… man …’ (Proverbs 16:25 NKJV); you must pursue those things that are right in God’s eyes. Jesus said, ‘… I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me’ (John 14:6 NLT). That means unless you have committed your life to Christ, you’re already on the wrong road. Turn around and ask Him to forgive your sins and put you on the road to eternal life. And if you’re a believer seeking direction, pray, read your Bible, and listen for what God has to say. The disciples on the Emmaus road said, ‘… “Did not our heart burn within us, while He talked with us by the way, and while He …opened to us the scriptures?”’ (Luke 24:32 KJV). Ask God to open His Word, give you ‘spiritual heartburn’, and point you in the right direction. He will!

‘The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.’ Psalm 23:1

It’s easy to say, ‘The Lord is my shepherd,’ but how can you tell if it’s real for you or if you’re just saying the words? Here is a simple test: when you need help, who do you turn to first? Most people go to God only after they have tried everything else. And when nothing else is working, then they try praying. Think about your last crisis. Whatever or whoever you turned to first for help, that’s your shepherd. A man on a trip to the African rainforests was following a guide. As they pushed deeper into the jungle, the guide with his machete was whacking away at the thick growth that rose up like a wall before them. ‘How do you know where to go?’ the man asked. ‘Where’s the path?’ The guide replied, ‘I am the path.’

Life is like a jungle; you need a guide who knows where he is going and what he is doing. And here on earth, who qualifies for such a job? One person only—the Lord! There will never be a day when you don’t need His guidance, and you can have it if you really want it. The Bible says, ‘… He calls His own sheep by name and leads them out … He walks ahead of them, and they follow Him because they know His voice’ (John 10:3-4 NLT).

What a promise! There are lots of different voices vying for your attention, including some who care about you and some who don’t. But Jesus, your shepherd, is the one voice you can always trust when it comes to guidance. That’s why it’s important to ‘know his voice’.

The Holy Spirit prays through you

Thu, 11 Apr 2024

‘The Spirit Himself makes intercession for us …’ Romans 8:26

Life can wear you down. You can get to the place where your anxiety runs so deep or your stress levels increase so high that you can’t think clearly. The problem or pain you’re experiencing is so overwhelming that you can’t put it into words. Good news: that’s when the Holy Spirit living within you prays for you and through you. As you bring your burden to the Lord and kneel in His presence, a wonderful thing happens. The Bible says, ‘Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God. And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.’ (Romans 8:26-28 NKJV).

Because prayer is relational, the Holy Spirit will communicate your heart to God and His heart back to you. When you don’t know how to pray – stay. Just remain in God’s presence with your heart open, and He will communicate with you. ‘You have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things’ (1 John 2:20 NKJV). Before God puts the answer in your head, He puts His peace in your heart. That’s why prayer cannot be rushed. That’s why taking the time to meditate and be still before God is so important. It allows the Holy Spirit to share God’s thoughts with you so that you begin thinking His way.
