Doing many works may seem like you’re doing a good job, but seeing what God really needs is more important. By focusing on God and discovering what He desires are the most important works in your life. Then, what does God really desire?
1. The Ministry That Changes
Without once hearing the Gospel, many people are dying. Because their souls are dead, their hearts and thoughts are diseased and live unbalanced lives. God wants you to live by first restoring His image. And through you, He wants to save many people in your field and those around the world who haven’t heard the Gospel. He wants you to change your lethargic spiritual state and restore your diseased heart; thoughts; and body to their original states. These are the works what God desires the most.
2. The Absolute Mission
Many people think that if they live the way they want and achieve a lot or succeed, then they’ll be happy. However, that’s an illusion. Even if they do whatever they want, no matter how much they achieve and succeed, if their souls are dead, then everything’s useless. The forces of darkness, sins, curses, and disasters can be bound solely in the name of Jesus Christ. If this Gospel is believable, then you’ve received an absolute mission from God.
When you pray regarding what God desires the most in all your works and meetings throughout the day, He will change you and lead you to save people.
Dear God, help me to see and do the works that You need. Please grant me the strength to really help others. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
* How Do You Get Close with Someone?
To be close with someone means to be “in a close relationship with that certain person.”
There’s a direction to your actions and words. Similar to habits, the work that you do habitually without your knowledge is what you’re “close” with.
Those who are “close” with books always carry them around and read whenever they have a chance. Those who are “close” to golf grab hold of their golf clubs and try to adjust their swings even if they don’t actually go to golf ranges. Those who are “close” with guitar keep it near and practice.
Then, if that’s the case, who or what are you closest with?
