YOU DO ALL THINGS
Read:
Philippians 4:11-13
Memorize:
“I can do everything through Him who gives me strength” Philippians 4:13
This title may sound contrary to the popular
Christian slogan, I can do everything
though him who gives me strength (Philippians 4:13). As true as the
statement is, reading the verse out of context never helps Christians who want
to realize their full potentials. Rather than the material and social
prosperity ascribed to the passage. Paul was referring to more of enduring hardships
and debilitating conditions without giving up the pursuit of the divine
assignment.
Many Christians are attempting to do too many
things at a time, and ending up being frustrated, unproductive, depressed,
sometimes engaging in unwholesome/ungodly acts. Yes you are wired to be strong and
mighty in the Lord, yet you shouldn’t wear out yourself trying to do
everything. Activity is not accomplishments. It is to look inwards, identify
your strengths and build upon them.
A very important aspect is that of meeting the
needs of others (Matthew 26:11). Resources are not evenly distributed. Striving
to meet others’ needs to the detriment of your inner peace and family integration
wil surely wear you out and render you’re your sincere acts ineffective. Always
remember you cannot do all things! Just
do your best in God and leave the rest.
Whatever GOD has given you to do for a particular
time, yes, you will receive inner strength to do (Luke 22:42-43). Whatever God
has sent others to do for and with you are not to be done (directly) by you.
PRAYER POINTS:
1.
Lord help me
to identify needs I cannot meet so I will not constitute a mess to the Gospel
message in Jesus’ name
2.
Ask for godly
vision, wisdom and power to do the work of the gospel for ministers of the
gospel
3.
Ask that the
Lord will always be with the believers as each experiences his hour of darkness.
God give my strength to do all things according to your Will in Jesus name
