He Who Discovered What Was Worth Staking His Life For

 

Acts 20:24 But I do not account my life of any value nor as precious to myself, if only I may finish my course and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.

11.25, 2018. 2nd service:Those who Realized What is Worth Staking Their Lives On / Ac 20:24
 

A person who knows what to stake his life for is a happy person. However, most people invest their all(All-in) for themselves, personal finances, and success. Tied to the traps, snares, and frames created by Satan, they live by having lost hold of what is important. That is why you must stand in the path of finding the “true me, my God-given things, and my God-given field” and restoring the blessing of being with God. For you, who have become a child of God, what answers have been confirmed?

 

1. God’s Desire That Has Been Given to You
God gave you His desire to save people. To fulfill His desire, He gave you the Bible to believe that Jesus is the Christ and thereby receive eternal life.(John 20:31) The movements that save lives are the Gospel, Word, and Life Movements. The believers of the Early Church did not differentiate between the temple and home and just conveyed the Gospel. In the very fields that you are in right now, God has already prepared everything so that the Life Movement can arise.

 

2. A Life for God’s Glory
A life that enters into God’s desire is the life lived for His glory. Then, Satan’s kingdom in the field of your life crumbles and God’s Kingdom will come upon it. At this time, you will see the field spring to life, and you will see the answer of becoming the witness of Christ to the end of the earth. Furthermore, you will testify to the entire world that God is alive. The people who staked their lives for this important work glorified God.

 

3. Paul’s Life
Paul faced many persecutions because he shared the Gospel. In spite of everything he faced, Paul’s steps were headed toward the disciples who would carry out the Life Movement and the future generation who would block future disasters. In the places where Paul’s steps halted, regional churches were built centered on the disciples whom Paul had raised. Paul simply did the work of saving souls, yet he left behind the answers of fields coming to life. God has called your life to be inside this answer as well. You must always remember this.

 

[Prayer of the Evangelist] Dear God, I thank you for Your grace which saved me. Help me to live with Your desire and for Your glory. Like Paul’s life, let me discover disciples and raise the next generation.
