Here to make eternal impact.

Hi readers!!! :) My second blog post and still so excited!!! :) hope our new year has started off well!!! :) In every new season, God is doing something new... :) Isaiah 43:18-19.

Today, I share on making eternal impact while on earth... :) a fact that every believer was created for!!! :) If you ever question why you were created, (whatever it may be), it all is to eventually make eternal impact!!! :)

Every day in life we are faced with a challenge; like a rude service provider, a difficult parent or family member, an uncompromising employer, mate or friend, a situation that seems to never be ending, a rainy day without an umbrella and need to get home...the list is endless... :) but do you know the most important thing is not just getting through the situation, it is our REACTION to it!!! :) think about it… :) 

We have an opportunity to witness every day, in just the simple occasions in life... :) in that restaurant, with the rude service provider, my reaction and treatment to him/her is what matters to God, more than any prayer I could make concerning him/her… :) according to Scripture, love is patient, kind, not rude...it goes on (1 Corinthians 13:8 onwards...) love is an action, not a phrase!!! ;-)

Imagine this: if you repaid rudeness to that service provider, and on Sunday they see you in church, on the pulpit giving a testimony, leading worship or preaching, do you really think they are in a pure position to listen to you??? :( I don’t deny that the Lord has power to move and convict, (because that is actually His role to play)...but, we had a chance to minister Him in that situation... :)

To those who seem to have “difficult parents”, I identify with you, but remember the Lord EXPECTS us to honour them, no matter what… Ephesians 6:1-3. And please, it is to honour them in the Lord-to do what is right in Him, not anything against His word and commandments, but even in confronting them in a compromising situation, do it with respect and humility… J with God, this is possible… J

To those who are completely challenged by rude service providers (like myself, I must admit), let Galatians 6:9-10 guide us: Do good to all, be good to all, and as the Word instructs, especially to fellow believers!!! J No back-biting (I confess to this), no criticizing or judging…because every hidden thing will be brought to judgement-whether good or bad… Ecclesiastes 12:14.

I dare you today, to repay evil with kindness, love for hatred and rebellion, trusting God to work through us, and watch and see the deliverance of the Lord at work!!! J Make it an everyday choice… J may the Lord be glorified in all this!!! J God bless you and encourage others as well. Till we read again, God bless you and keep you all, as we strive to make eternal impact while on earth! J

Here’s our song for today: enjoy, be blessed, and bless others!!! :-) 

 

Until we read again,
-Bumble Bee me… J
