The world emphasizes that you need to earn a lot of money to improve your quality of life. It also states that achieving a certain level of socioeconomic status to do what you want, getting a taste of accomplishment, and having self-realization equate to life. To do that, you need to graduate from prestigious schools and get a high-paying and high-profile job. In God’s point of view, is this what a successful life looks like?
1. Talents, Specialization, and a Sense of the Field
Humans are spiritual beings created in God’s image. Even if people make a lot of money; attain high positions; drive nice cars; and live in expensive houses, their lives will never be at peace if they are distant from God. If they discover their God-given things and equip themselves with that talent, they can save the field no matter where they are and what they do. These are whom God wants the most. That’s why helping Remnants find their talents, specializations, and a sense of the field is so important and essential.
2. Custom and Teams
Paul traveled to various regions, found teams to evangelize with, trained disciples, and established churches. You can tell from the words “as was his custom” that Paul had a reason to go to any field; met those who fit the field; and preached the Gospel. Because everyone can’t preach it in the same manner, finding what God has given in your job, living radius, and current situation will become “your evangelism.” For those thinking about finding their personal evangelism and implementing it in their daily lives, God will allow them to meet the disciples whom He has prepared.
The greatest answer that you can enjoy in life is being in a state that directly connects with God’s interests.
Dear God, help me to discover and enjoy what You’ve given. Please use me as an evangelism disciple who saves and guides those in the world who have lost their way. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
* Who Are You?
Who you are on this date, January 27, 2022 has never been and will never be. Furthermore, who you are today is the result of yesterday and will become the material for tomorrow. Today, here and now, even if you just have the desire to look toward God the best and become the person who prays to Him the most, God will be pleased and will answer you. God doesn’t do works only on special days that have specific events. Regardless of your condition, He fulfills His plan and works the same yesterday, today, and forever. God just wants you to be held in His hands and enjoy the unprecedented and never-repeated answers in your life.
