How You Can Be a Fruitful Witness?
If I were to ask you what God's perfect will is for your life, what would be your answer? Monks have lived solitary lives to find out this answer. Theologians have searched and searched to find this answer.
God's perfect will for your life: 2Pe 3:18 (ASV)
“But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.”
The word “grow” is also translated: enlarge, increase, become greater
This is what Christ wants for our lives.
It is natural to increase…
If I were to show a video of your life from you being a baby until now, we would see you as a baby in diapers and eventually toddling around on all fours. We would see pictures of when you started to walk, with your shoes untied, and hear you learn to talk, and grow into a young child. You would have school pics and vacation pictures showing the many stages through elementary school and to junior high and high school. We might see you in college and grad school and find a wonderful job, and have a family of your own.
It is natural to grow. It is healthy. It is not something we try hard to do, it just comes naturally.
But….. what if you were still in diapers and toddling around on all fours at the age of 12? What if you still had your shoes untied and couldn't talk like a twelve year old? We would think something was wrong....It wouldn't be natural to see you sucking your thumb at the age of 30 or 40 would it? No, we see you increasing and growing in wisdom and stature, and in favor.
We need to take care of ourselves.
a. Power Bars/Protein drinks - Body builders want to increase their muscle strength and growth. Muscles are made of protein and they need extra protein to grow bigger.
A spiritual protein drink is spending time in prayer and Bible study. This will increase your spiritual muscle strength.
b. Eat right - watch what you put into your spiritual body. Watch what you listen to, what you watch on TV, what you hear in conversations, and anything that will go into your body.
c. Get plenty of rest - Spend time resting in the Lord. Spend time fellowshipping with other Christians. Don't get caught up in perfectionism, just relax and be. “Be still and know that I am God…” Be yourself and enjoy who you are. God did not create junk when He created you. He created potential and you have value.
d. Exercise often - Spend time worshipping the Lord. Listen to Praise and Worship music on a regular basis. The words will penetrate you spirit and you will benefit from greatly. This allows your mind to focus on God and Who.
