God Wants You To Know That He Wants To Use You Today

Here is a brief but on point teaching on our preparing ourselves to be used by the Lord. It is written by the pastor of the church we’ve traveled to partner in ministry with in Trinidad for the past three years.

Suffer hardship with me, as a good soldier of Christ Jesus…For this reason I endure all things for the sake of those who are chosen, so that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus and with it eternal glory (2 Timothy 2:3, 10).

The battle is about what God is doing to draw more and more people to trust Him as Saviour and for forgiveness and a new life empowered and directed by Him. That is what God has been working for in this world all along. It is the reason why He has not brought history to a conclusion yet. It is why He has left you and I on earth instead of taking you straight to heaven. To share that salvation is not a turning or giving of our lives but by simple believing that Christ died, buried and rose again for our sins, and accept Him as our Saviour; he will give us eternal life …assurance in heaven. John 1:12; Ephesians 2:8-9.

God wants you to know that He wants to use you today, and tomorrow, and the day after that, to help the people in your life move towards Christ. As you pray about your day today, focus your prayers, not on your wants, but on your relationships. Ask God to use you in those relationships to help those people take one small step closer to Him today.

Then look for God’s answer as you spend time with people today. Look for any chance to have a spiritual conversation, to talk about what God means in your life, or how He has changed your life, or something you learned from Scripture this week.

Thanks for reading and have Blessed day in Christ.

I pray that you were blessed. This is especially timely as we prayerfully consider inviting those in our relationship networks to our Friends Sunday on October 2nd. Have a great day in the Lord.
