SPIRITUAL COFFEE FOR YOUR MORNING
We are held accountable
for the things we say and do today,
but we are also held accountable
for the things, we don’t say and do.
How many times
do you get in bed
and just feel happy
to have made it through the day?
We’re so busy.
So stressed.
There’s more to your life
than just getting through the day.
As believers,
we need to look for opportunities
throughout our day, during our many activities,
to speak life, to speak love,
to speak healing,
and to speak encouragement
in the peoples’ lives we come in contact with.
Be aware.
Be intentional.
Be willing to act when those opportunities arise.
If we are focused on God,
and asking Him to place people in our path,
He will do it.
Sometimes, we don’t see the opportunities because we aren’t looking.
We aren’t being intentional.
Other times, we pass up the opportunities
He gives us to speak to someone
or to do a small act of kindness for someone because we are shy, busy, or worried
about what that person’s response will be.
But God gives us all we need in these situations.
We don’t need to worry.
We don’t need to be afraid.
We have all the power of our mighty God living inside of us.
He will help us in every circumstance and in every situation that we face.
In Ephesians 1:18-20,
Paul prays that “the eyes of your heart may be enlightened…that you may know …his incomparably great power for us who believe.”
The same power that rose Jesus from the grave, is inside of us!
It takes effort,
and we have to constantly
remind ourselves to make an effort
in the lives of each person
we come in contact with daily.
Our minds must continually
be on the bigger picture…
the reason why we are still on this earth…
bringing glory to God.
We have a responsibility, as Christians, to share Jesus with the world.
As we go through this new week, let's talk to at least 2 people about Jesus every day.
We can also make use of our social media handles/platforms to preach the gospel of Christ.
Social Media platforms can be a powerful and wonderful tool for the gospel of Christ, connecting us with friends and family like never before. Similar to the Apostle Paul before King Agrippa, we can lean into the microphone and share our stories of how Christ brought us from darkness into light:
“I am sending you to them to open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me” (Acts 26:15–18).
“But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet to warn the people and the sword comes and takes someone’s life, that person’s life will be taken because of their sin, but I will hold the watchman accountable for their blood.” Ezekiel 33:6
