Be the carrier of the Good News

Andrew was working with his brother when a stranger came up to him and said: I have a good job offer for you. In the segment where you already work, but earning more, much more! Paul was lost on the road driving, when out of nowhere a “car” appeared with the light in his face saying: you are on the wrong road. I will guide you on how to get to your destination! An IRS inspector was on the street in his hometown, when he was approached by a celebrity in the whole country, who was passing by and who told him that he would be a guest at his home. You may have already realized of whom I’m talking about … In these 3 situations, people were in their daily lives, when they were surprised with a Good News that literally saved their lives! Jesus changed the life of Andrew, Peter, Paul, Zacchaeus… and continues to change the life of anyone He approaches. Always with Good News: The good news of the gospel! You have been called to be a carrier of good news And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful […]

Becoming stronger in the grace of Christ

2 Timothy 2:1 – You then, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. The apostle Paul’s counsel to Timothy is imperative to all Christians: to sow we need to be supplied. We can not sow what we do not have. It is useless to prepare the earth if there are no seeds in our hands. As we strengthen ourselves in the grace of Christ, he renews us and empowers us for an abundant harvest. This is a continuous process because we do not strengthen ourselves once, but we must fortify our faith daily and we need to appropriate the manna, as in the experience of the people of Israel in the desert, when God made a daily portion of bread come down from heaven. Pray that the Lord will strengthen you and empower you in all areas of your life.

The power of generosity

John 6:11 – Jesus then took the loaves, gave thanks, and distributed to those who were seated as much as they wanted. He did the same with the fish. One of the secrets of financial health is to know the power of generosity. Our investment in the Kingdom of God is not an obligation or a bargain. It is love for the Master’s cause and a feeling of gratitude for what He has done for us. The five loaves and two fish were probably that boy’s meal. When he gave up his meal in the name of the one who could multiply it, that food satisfied his huger just like the hunger of five thousand people who were sitting that afternoon at Jesus’ feet. We will never be more qualified than Jesus to take care of our resources. He is wiser and knows the needs of each one better. The story of the multiplication of loaves and fish shows us the power of generosity. Ask the Lord for wisdom in the management and use of your resources.

Being faithful to God and His Word

Titus 1:9 – He must hold firmly to the trustworthy message as it has been taught, so that he can encourage others by sound doctrine and refute those who oppose it. To be faithful to God we must also be faithful to His Word. When we fill ourselves with it, we become capable of making a difference in the world we live in. The Father reveals his plan for humanity through the Word. When we relate to Him through it, we discover our purpose in life as individuals. The Holy Spirit speaks to us in a personal way. As it is written in Psalms 119: 105, “Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path”. The Bible also generates in us encouragement and wisdom. The text strengthens our faith, enables us to discern and we can refuse lies that are preached or thrown into our minds by the enemy. Pray for understanding the Word of God so that you are able to carry the Lord’s values where you are. That in each reading the Holy Spirit will transform our life. We want to be an extension of the Kingdom of God through our way of thinking and acting.

Sowing for the Kingdom of God

Acts 2:42-47 –They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles. All the believers were together and had everything in common. They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need. Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved. We must sow according to the instructions that God gives us. So we can harvest abundantly because He is the provider of the harvest. God gave us care ingredients as communion, reading the Word, breaking bread and prayer. If we ignore these items, we will lose many fruits. Enjoy the gifts of other brothers that complete yours. Together it will be possible to compose a work that will bear many fruits for the Kingdom. Pray that your church will work well in sowing and care. Pray also that there is sensitivity to the direction of the […]
