“…and certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities – Mary called Magdalene, out of whom had come seven demons, and Joanna the wife of Chuza, Herod’s steward, and Susanna, and many others who provided for Him from their substance…” Luke 8:2 (NKJV)

It is true that we cannot pay Jesus back for the sacrifice He has offered for us, but He expects us to invite others to partake of the immeasurable blessings that His finished works have brought for us. One of the ways to do that is to become a committed partner with Jesus Christ in spreading the message of the Gospel. You’ve got to understand that your partnership and participation are needed. Do not be among those who only come to church, hear God’s Word and go home without deeming it fit to be a part of what is happening concerning the gospel in their local church. At least be involved in what your local church is doing to promote the Gospel. 

For many years, I have watched a lot of Christians act nonchalantly about the evangelical activities going on in church. All they are interested in is their gain. In most cases, if they do not see it in the church where they attend, they locate another church looking for miracles here and there. They never consider spreading the Gospel or partnering with Jesus in the propagation of the Gospel. Their focus is themselves and this is why in the long run, they never get the miracle they are looking for because the miracle they are looking for is in laboring with Jesus to reach out to others.

Beloved, the best thing you could ever do for yourself is to partner with Jesus to spread the Gospel. Be actively involved in what your local church is doing both financially and otherwise. When you do this, your life will be an unending stream of miracles. The Bible says “…God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work…” 2 Corinthians 9:8 (NKJV). Praise God!

Today’s Rhema

Don’t be a passive Christian; be active in partnering with the Lord in spreading the Gospel!

Confession for the Day

I am a giver, therefore I choose to give again and again for the spread of the Gospel. I do not earn to make a living but earning to make a giving, all I have belongs to the Lord. Therefore I declare that the grace to be a very active partner of the Lord rests on me mightily in Jesus name. Amen!
