“…for if I preach the gospel, I have nothing to boast of, for necessity is laid upon me; yes, woe is me if I do not preach the gospel…” 1 Corinthians 9:16 (NKJV)

Over the years, I have had the opportunity to ask some of our members why they are not in any department, and the answer I always receive is, “Where do I start?” Now, the reason they ask questions like this is that they do not believe they can be of service to God in any way. Therefore, they are uncertain as to what to do for God or where to start. This shouldn’t be the case because when it comes to rendering your services to God or doing something for Him that will make a long-lasting impact in the kingdom, there is so much to do. You could be a worker in the house of God or one of the consistent givers in the church who gives committedly and faithfully for the work of the ministry.

You could get involved in soul winning or building, or even interceding for the lost. The most important thing is to be involved in the advancement of the Gospel in these last days because that is God’s vision and plan for mankind. The Bible says, “God has set the members, each one of them, in the body just as He pleased…” 1 Corinthians 12:18 (NKJV). Do you know why? So that we could all have a role to play in the body of Christ. Your responsibility is to identify your role and start playing it. Stop running away, stop acting irresponsibly, and start taking responsibility. Understand that a Christian who does nothing for God is an irresponsible Christian. Now, I don’t mean that in a disrespectful way but that’s the truth. You’ve got to understand that you are not just saved to keep collecting and receiving from God; you were saved to be one of God’s representatives on earth. So be involved in the Father’s dream because, in the end, that is what will make your own dream and life flourish and be preserved. Hallelujah!

Today’s Rhema

A Christian who does nothing for God is an irresponsible Christian who does not think God deserves His service!
