YOU HAVE TO BE DUTIFULLY ENGAGED FOR IT TO HAPPEN (Thursday, 30th October)
Text for Today: Luke 1:5-17 “So it was, that while he was serving as priest before God in the order of his division.” (vs. 8).
Those who run away from responsibilities, end up as losers in life. There are responsibilities we have to carry out if we want to walk into God’s plan and promises for our lives. Whoever runs away from such responsibilities can never be a candidate to be considered by God for turnaround. Jeremiah was predestined by God to be a prophet to the nation of Israel. “…before you were born I set you apart and appointed you as my prophet to the nations (Jer. 1:5).” Although Jeremiah was called as a prophet, he still had to participate with his call. God then instructs Jeremiah to get up and prepare for action (v. 17). In other words, he was not to sit down on the job or make any excuses. He was to get up and go.
That is a word to us all! We don’t sit in our frustrations or wallow in our problems. We get up and prepare for action! The call of God, our dreams and visions do not come with perfect circumstances, but with many challenges to our obedience. There will always be an excuse to not participate or get engaged with our dreams. It does not matter how busy you are with your secular assignment, you must get engaged in the things of the kingdom, remember, the spiritual controls the physical. If you are too busy for God to use, He also will be too busy to attend to you when the time comes. His kingdom must come first in our lives because God, Himself, is first, and our lives are to reflect who He is. We have to decide to be in the right place at the right time doing the right thing.
You are a Champion!
Further Study: Dan. 1:1-21.
